INTEROP, NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2014 – SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK, a global leader in flash storage solutions, today announced its SanDisk Tech Assist Refresh (STAR) program for the company's X-series line of client SSDs. This innovative new service provides corporate CIOs and IT decision makers with a hassle free solution for upgrading their fleet of employee laptops from slower hard disk drives to higher performance, lower power and more reliable SSDs. Through the STAR program, SanDisk relieves IT departments of having to manage all aspects of upgrading corporate laptops such as, endpoint inventory analysis, employee service scheduling, system upgrades, data migration, daily progress reporting, post-upgrade analysis and support.
"At SanDisk we're keenly focused on being a trusted advisor to CIOs and IT decision makers in order to help address their key pain points—security, system reliability, employee productivity, and capex," said Tarun Loomba, vice president of marketing, client storage solutions at SanDisk. "Our X-series portfolio is designed to address these pain points, and now with our STAR program, we can go one step further by relieving CIOs from the cumbersome process of migrating corporate information from existing HDD-based laptops to our highly-reliable, performance enhancing X-series SSDs, and do it for them in a timely, cost-effective manner."
With today's increasingly mobile, 24/7 workforce, the demand for responsive computer applications is quickly expanding, which requires a high-performing, power efficient and reliable laptop. According to a survey conducted by IDC of mobile workers who owned at least one PC or Mac computer, 40 percent of respondents are interested in upgrading a PC within the next 12 months; 97 percent of respondents identify the PC as their primary computing device; and 83 percent believe it's more productive than a smartphone1. Often, the bulk of a PC may be working, but over time, due to disk utilization and software updates, the performance degrades to the point where it impedes what employees need it to do. Worse yet, it fails completely, often as a result of a mechanical disk drive failure. Rather than replace the entire device, an upgrade to a high-performance, highly reliable SSD allows companies to supercharge that PC quickly and for a fraction of the cost.
SanDisk's X-series SSDs are the perfect solution to extend the life of a fleet of corporate desktops, laptops, and workstations. With a corporate-wide, tech-assisted refresh, swapping out aging mechanical hard drives for state-of-the art SanDisk SSDs is a seamless, efficient process that has minimal impact on the business. The new STAR program helps CIOs:
"Employee frustration with our current systems was rising and we knew we needed to do something. The STAR program was the perfect fit for us. Not only did it come with SanDisk's brand name, reputation and leadership in the industry, but we were impressed by the fact that SanDisk proposed a complete solution, as opposed to selling a component," said Carlos Gutierrez, vice president, silicon systems and solutions, Lattice Semiconductor. "We didn't have to worry about the environment, the software, the upgrade, the downtime, etc. and we were able to get a 50-60 percent performance boost from the SSDs literally overnight, with very little overhead from our IT team and very little impact on our productivity."
To learn more about SanDisk's new STAR services program, please attend an informational session taking place at Interop New York on Wednesday, October 1 at 11:30 a.m. ET in the Vendor Tech Room #1 on the Expo Floor or visit SanDisk in booth #242 during the show, taking place at the Jacob Javits Convention Center.

Lunch Today: Horiatiki Salad from Souvlaki GR
Lunchtime adventures from the Serious Eats editors.
Now that our office is an easy 15-ish minute walk from Souvlaki GR in the Lower East Side, the souvlaki consumption in my life will increase exponentially, no doubt. But when I stopped in recently, I felt like going the deconstructed souvlaki route with the Horiatiki Salad ($7). It's the familiar Greek salad comprised of chopped tomatoes, cukes, red onions, salty feta, and oil-juicy kalamata olives, served with pillowy, warm pita on the side, the same starchy jacket that rolls up the souvlaki. You can add a souvlaki's worth of their charcoal-grilled meat, chicken or pork, for $2 to sit atop the salad. If you're in the mood for 'vlaki multiplied by more vegetables and a fork, this is the way to go.
Souvlaki GR might become more of a popular dinner hang, too, with their recent acquisition of a liquor license (!). Look forward to beers like Saranac and Lake Placid's Ubu Ale.

A volunteer firefighter lost his life Monday morning after a shooting outside a Sandfly lounge.
Isle of Hope Fire Department Assistant Chief Marcus Wilson identified 21-year-old Wesley Franklin as the man who was shot outside Deb's Pub and Grub on Norwood Avenue.
Franklin had been a firefighter with Isle of Hope Fire Department since November 2011 and had also worked at Thunderbolt Fire Department, Wilson said.
Franklin went outside the business after hearing a gunshot just after 2 a.m., said Savannah-Chatham police spokesman Julian Miller.
Miller said Franklin saw the man who fired the shot was attempting to rob some patrons outside the lounge. Miller said as Franklin was returning to the business, the gunman fired again, hitting Franklin, and then ran off.
Franklin died in surgery after being taken to Memorial University Medical Center, Miller said.
Violent Crimes detectives, Southside Precinct officers and K-9 officers worked the scene and searched the area for the suspect.
No further information about the suspect was available early Monday afternoon.
Wilson described Franklin as a dependable and charismatic firefighter.
"He was always happy - upbeat, always on time to work, reported in every day like he was supposed to," Wilson said. "Just a fun guy to be around."
He said the news came as a surprise to the volunteers at Isle of Hope Fire Department - not just because a friend was murdered, he said, but because Sandfly is normally "a pretty safe community."
Wilson said the Isle of Hope Fire Department will be in contact with Franklin's family to arrange a full honor burial service.
"We're trying to arrange a full honor burial service, which is typically done for line-of-duty deaths, but this is such a tragedy that occurred unexpectedly that we just want to show our gratitude for what he did," Wilson said.
He said other Coastal Empire fire departments have been notified of Franklin's death, and that he hopes to get the state honor guard for fallen firefighters for a burial service.
"The brotherhood for the firefighter service is pretty tight," he said. "It doesn't matter if you're volunteered or paid in times like these."
Wilson said Franklin was well known in the Isle of Hope community.
"He dedicated a lot of time - countless hours, most of which are not paid for. That says a lot about a person's character," Wilson said. "He will be greatly missed. This has no doubt affected hundreds of people within our area."
Police are asking anyone with information on the incident to call CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). In the body type, include "cstop2020" plus the tip. Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.

After 13 years on top, Bill Gates is no longer the richest man in the world. That honor now belongs to his friend and sometimes bridge partner Warren Buffett.
Riding the surging price of Berkshire Hathaway stock, Buffett has seen his fortune swell to an estimated $62 billion, up $10 billion from a year ago.
Gates is now worth $58 billion and is ranked third richest in the world. He is up $2 billion from a year ago, but would have been as rich--or richer--than Buffett, had Microsoft not made an unsolicited bid for Yahoo! at the beginning of February. Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helú now ranks as the world's second richest person with a net worth of $60 billion.

Progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy - a case report
Mala Modi
Dr Modi is a senior radiologist and senior lecturer in the Department of Radiology, Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Johannesburg. She is author of numerous papers in national and international peer-reviewed journals and is assistant editor of the South African Journal of Radiology.
Progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disease caused by the human neurotropic JC (John Cunningham) virus, a polyomavirus.1,2
Following on the worldwide HIV/AIDS pandemic there has been a dramatic increase in the incidence of PML. However, cases of PML, an AIDS-defining illness, have rarely been reported from Africa, an area where HIV-1 clade C infection predominates.3-5
Clinical and imaging details
A 27-year-old woman presented to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Johannesburg, with new-onset seizures. She was heterosexual, did not abuse intravenous drugs, and was retroviral therapy-naïve. On examination in the medical ward she was found to be encephalopathic and pregnant. Further investigations revealed that she was HIV-positive with a very low CD4+ count of 7 cells/µl, and a viral load greater than 750 000 copies/ml. She was referred for imaging, and PML was diagnosed on the basis of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) appearances.
The lesions on CT imaging were typical; they were scalloped in appearance, involved the white matter of the frontal, parietal and occipital lobes, were hypodense, had no mass effect, and were non-enhancing (Fig. 1). On MRI the lesions were hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2-weighted MRI scans (Fig. 2, a and b).
The very low CD4+ count of 7 contributed to the diagnosis of PML. The diagnosis was confirmed on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identification of the JC virus.
The patient died in hospital within a few days, and the diagnosis of PML was confirmed at autopsy.
This is a rare case of autopsy-proven PML from a clade C HIV-1 infected area.6 It is pertinent to highlight this demyelinating opportunistic viral infection as access to antiretroviral therapy is currently improving, and the immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) that occasionally results following the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) may in rare instances induce a paradoxical clinical deterioration in patients suffering from PML.7 It has been documented that HAART-induced paradoxical aggravation of AIDS-related PML due to IRIS is reversible in most cases with the use of prolonged steroid therapy.7,8
Imaging can be particularly helpful when managing patients with PML and IRIS. PML lesions in patients not on HAART generally do not enhance, while in patients with IRIS contrast enhancement of the lesions may be seen.7
It therefore behoves us to be more vigilant when managing our patients with PML on HAART, as the early diagnosis and timely management of IRIS is critical.8

I would like to know about people's experience of working with APEX and the SalesForce.com platform, was it easy to work with? How similar to Java and C# is it? What did you like? What don't you like? Would you recommend it? Do you think cloud computing has a long term successful future?
My reason for asking is that I am currently looking at a new position which involves working with APEX on the SalesForce.com platform. The position interests me but I just want to try and understand what I might be signing up for with regards the languages/platform as it is completely different from what I have worked with before.
I have seen lots of videos/blog posts online (mainly from the recent Dreamforce event) and they obviously are very positive but I was just after some experiences from developers, both positive and negative.
I find cloud computing a very interesting idea, but I am very new to the subject. The position I am looking at offers a fantastic opportunity but I was just after some opinions on APEX and the platform as I have no real world experience just what I have seen from the online videos.
I guess ultimately what I am asking is:
Are APEX and the SalesForce.com platform good to get involved in? Is development on the Force.com just a "career dead end"?
Is cloud computing just a fad? Or does it have a long term future?
Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to ask such a question.

Two more recent Southern California bacterial meningitis deaths have come to light after the illness rapidly killed a West Hollywood man last week.
Brett Shaad, 33, a West Hollywood attorney died on Saturday night. Officials in West Hollywood quickly alerted the gay community to the case of the sometimes deadly, contagious infection.
The AIDS Healthcare Foundation, which is offering free meningitis vaccines, on Tuesday announced two previous deaths: Rjay Spoon, 30, of downtown Los Angeles died on Dec. 16; and an unidentified 30-year-old San Diego State University student who lived in Chula Vista died on Dec. 10.
Adding to the fear of a potential outbreak is the fact that Shaad went to the White Party in Palm Springs, a dance party attended by thousands of gay men March 29 to April 1, the foundation said.
Casey Hayden, who was Rjay Spoon's partner, said he woke up one night to find Spoon vomiting. Spoon's symptoms puzzled doctors until it was too late, he said.
"We went to the hospital and the first thing they said it was was a drug overdose," Hayden told reporters Tuesday. "Then they said it was extremely advanced HIV, which was not the case. He was negative."
A week later, Spoon was dead. He is pictured at right.
At a news conference Tuesday, West Hollywood City Councilman John Duran asked the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to reveal more information about infections. The department has said there were 13 cases of the disease in the county in 2013.
Duran said New York City officials hesitated -- hoping to avoid a panic -- when they learned of a meningitis outbreak among gay men there.
"Where they are now: seven dead New Yorkers, all gay men, and now recommending that all gay men in New York City get vaccinated," Duran said. "If we're going to just end up there anyway, why not just start now? So we don't have to get seven deaths to get there."
Los Angeles County Health Officer Dr. Jonathan Fielding said he would "promise" to get information about the disease to NBC4 on Wednesday.
Infections from the bacteria that causes meningitis can be spread from person to person through respiratory and throat secretions and are common in close quarters – such as military barracks and college dormitories – according to the CDC website. Person-to-person contact must be close – such as kissing, sex or sharing food – for the bacteria to spread.
Those who have been in close contact with a patient with meningococcal disease should be treated with antibiotics to prevent the illness from progressing, according to the CDC.

You probably don't need to try and wander through the swamp finding remains. From contacting a local historian who said it was probably a land speculator trying to sucker people in and looking at old aerial photos, that seems to be correct. Nothing appears disturbed in the area where the town should be in a 1934 aerial photo ( http://ufdcweb1.uflib.ufl.edu/ufdc/?...88390343507682 )( Main Page is here: http://ufdcweb1.uflib.ufl.edu/ufdc/
I submitted this ghost town YEARS ago because it happened to appear in Plat Book 1, Page 1 of the Brevard County Property Appraiser's website http://www.brevardpropertyappraiser....1/00010001.pdf ). The date on the plat is March 25, 1891. The area appears to have been replatted on February 18, 1915: ( http://www.brevardpropertyappraiser....2/00020043.pdf ). So, the lots originally shown are not valid. Here is an lot in the middle of all that: ( http://www.brevardpropertyappraiser....10&tid=2005158 )
There is still no way to get there from here!
The Fontaine Ghost Town should probably be removed from the database.

The City of Berkeley welcomes and encourages public participation in the planning and development process. There are many ways in which to get involved. Most planning and development processes in Berkeley involve one or more commissions, taskforces, boards or another public body appointed by the City Council. One way to get involved is to apply to be a member of one of these appointed bodies. Link to City Clerk's Commissions' page.
Policy Development
The City's development is guided by policies adopted by the City Council, such as the General Plan. The development of these policies almost always begins with a City Commission, task force or other process where the public is invited to participate. Public workshops are a common form of public engagement. Any upcoming workshops are shown on the Planning Department's web page. At every meeting of an appointed commission, Board or taskforce, there is time set aside for the public to comment on any subject not already on the agenda for a public hearing. Please click on Commissions/Boards/Taskforces and then on a particular body for a schedule of its meetings. Finally, prior to recommending changes to ordinances or adopting new policy documents, there is a noticed public hearing on the recommended changes where public testimony is welcomed.
Development Project Review
Some types of development and uses are allowed "as-of-right," meaning that no public review is required so long as the proposed project or use conforms to the requirements of the zoning ordinance. However, many proposed development projects or new businesses require some level of "discretionary review," meaning they are subject to public notice to neighbors and a public hearing. When a project is subject to discretionary review, there are often numerous opportunities for public participation.
A majority of the Landmarks Preservation Commissioners or a petition with 50 signatures can "initiate" a structure to be a City of Berkeley Landmark or Structure of Merit (Landmarks Preservation Commission). The property owners' approval of such initiation or designation is not required, nor is notice required prior to initiation. Once initiated, the designation process requires a significant amount of work from community members in documenting the historic significance of a structure prior to the LPC taking action on a proposed designation.
Once a property is initiated, a public hearing is required prior to any action to designate a property as a landmark or structure of merit. Either designation or failure to designate by the LPC can be appealed to the City Council.

I won't claim this empanada recipe was passed down from my great-grandmother, (She was Russian and probably never even saw an empanada let alone made one.) I won't claim these are authentically Salvadoran/Mexican/Argentinian or of any other national origin either. (I made this recipe up from looking over empanada recipes from all of Latin America, and picking and choosing what I like.)
Besides, even when I make "authentic" recipes, I am not that nationality, so doesn't that automatically make it not authentic? (Makes you wonder about the kitchens of all those fancy French restaurants in New York. You do know it's Mexicans and Salvadorans cooking your Bouillabaisse and Coq au Vin, right?)
Anyway, here is what I will claim. These empanadas are really good. So if you're looking for authentic, look elsewhere, vato. But if you're willing to trust a gabacha who doesn't do too badly in the kitchen, I'm your girl and here's your recipe.
Latina-ish Empanadas
First let me start by saying that empanadas are not an exact science. Feel free to substitute what you have on hand. You can fill them with almost anything.
The filling:
2 cups of cooked meat of your choice (I used leftover steak this time), diced in small pieces
3 small cooked potatoes, diced in small pieces
1 cup of cooked green beans, diced in small pieces
1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 tablespoon achiote seed (annatto)
1/2 cup of your favorite salsa (homemade or from a jar)
salt and pepper to taste
In a small pan over medium high, heat the oil and achiote seed. When the oil turns an orangish-red, remove from heat. (Don't let the seeds turn black!) Let cool and remove achiote seed and discard. Return pan to stove. Place onion in the achiote oil over medium heat and cook until tender. In a large bowl mix the achiote oil and onion in with all remaining ingredients. This is your filling mixture. Set aside.
Note: For those not familiar with achiote seed (annatto) and achiote molido (annatto powder), it's awesome. It not only adds vibrant color to the food, but it has a very unique subtle flavor as well. Look for it in your local Latino market in the spice section. If I post more recipes in the future, chances are my amigo achiote will be along for the ride. I use it in a lot of recipes these days.
The dough:
3 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon achiote molido (annatto powder)
1 cup butter, diced into pieces
cold water
Mix the flour, baking powder, salt and achiote molido in a large bowl. Drop the diced butter pieces into the bowl all at once and work into the flour with your hands until combined to make a fine crumb texture. Mix water in, little by little until you can form a dough ball that is neither dry nor sticky.
On a floured surface, roll the dough out as if you're making sugar cookies. The dough should not be thick, but be careful not to make it so thin that it tears easily. Using a drinking glass or cookie cutter, cut out circles of dough.
Now to put them together!
In each circle of dough, place a small spoonful of the mixture. Do not overfill them or the dough will tear and they won't be pretty. Dip your finger in water and wet the edge of the dough circle before closing into a semi-circle. Use the tines of a fork around the edges to seal. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Repeat until you run out of dough and/or mixture.
(Optional: Brush each empanada with egg yolk before placing in the oven.)
Put in the oven at 350 F for about 30 minutes until the dough is solid enough that it can be more easily handled. Now, you can continue cooking in the oven until you feel they're ready but I prefer to brown them a bit in the frying pan with cooking oil over medium heat. Drain on paper towels and serve. Makes about 20 empanadas. (Serves about 4 people.)

|Scientific Classification
Genus: Allosaurus
Genus: Saurophaganax
Allosaurs are a group of medium to large size carnivorous dinosaurs. They inhabited North America in some number and have also been found in Portugal and possibly Tanzania.[2] They were first discovered in the late 1800s and named by the American paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1878. Their name Allosaur means "Name means::different lizard") (Greek: αλλος, allos ("different, strange") and σαυρος, sauros ("lizard").[2]
Allosaurs are found in abundance in the fossil record due to the size and durability of their bones. Most creation scientist interpret the existence of such fossils to mean that the organism was alive at the time of the global flood, which is described in the Biblical book of Genesis. Furthermore because the text says that all land animals were placed on Noah's ark, if correct the dinosaur was also included in their number, and became extinct very recently.
Allosaurs were bipedal (walked on two legs), possessed the lizard-like hips similar to all saurischians, and they belonged to a saurischia subgroup known as the Theropods which name means beast-footed for their 3-toed foot. They also had grasping hands and sharp claws, and were some of the most ferocious animals to have ever roamed the earth.[3]
The exact number of genera that belong to this group is still debated as most of the carnosaurs are closely related.[4] The type genus for this group (Allasaurus) reached sizes up to 40 ft long, 15 feet high, and weighed 1-2 tons. Their head was up to 3 ft long with large eye sockets indicating they had keen vision.[5] Above their eyes were fragile horns that may have served to shade the eyes or were simply ornamental displays to attract mates. Within the skull were well develop sinus cavities indicating that they had an advanced sense of smell, and some have suggested the sinuses may have held a chemoreceptor organ similar to the Jacobson's organ.[2]
Their jaw hinged in the very back of their skull enabling the allosaur to open its mouth wide to deliver a massive bite, and they had cheeks that could expand to take in huge pieces of food. It had as many as 40 teeth on both the upper and lower jaw that were sharp and serrated (saw-like) measuring 4.5 inches.[5] Toward the back of the skull the teeth became narrower and curved backward to keep smaller prey from escaping. Its probable that their were replaced constantly during it's lifetime which is the reason that allosaur teeth are common fossils.[6]
In combination, their anatomical features allowed the Allosaurs be one of the most successful hunters of their time, significantly outnumbering other carnivores with whom they competed.[4] They are by far the most common large theropod in the USA, accounting for 70 to 75% of the specimens found in the Morrison Formation (vast tract of fossil-bearing rock in the Western USA).[2]
Fossil Graveyard
- Main Article: Fossil graveyard
In 1940, more than forty well preserved allosaurs were found buried together in Utah.[5] Fossil graveyards as they are known are not uncommon in the fossil record, and secular scientists are at a loss to explain their existence sufficiently. According to Wikipedia:
|"Nearly a dozen scientific papers have been written on the taphonomy of the site, coming up with numerous contradictory explanations for how it formed. Suggestions have ranged from animals getting stuck in a bog, to becoming trapped in deep mud, to falling victim to drought-induced mortality around a waterhole, to getting trapped in a spring-fed pond or seep".[7]
Such explanations fall short, since any satisfactory theory must account not only for the multiple deaths, but provide a mechanism for their rapid burial so that fossilization can occur. A natural disaster capable of killing and burying them rapidly is the most logical and probable cause. This event was most likely the flood of Noah that is described in the Biblical book of Genesis.[5]
Discovery Controvery
In the fall of 2000 Dana Forbes discovered an Allosaur on his property located in the Skullcreek Basin of northwest Colorado. The Allosaur was subsequently excavated under the direction of creation scientist Joe Taylor and his team from the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum (Crosbyton, TX). Assistance was provided in 2001 by Carl Baugh from the Creation Evidence Museum (Glen Rose, TX), the Derosa Family from Creation Expeditions (Crystal River, FL),[8] and in 2002 by a homeschool tour group from Vision Forum.[9]
After the excavation of the Allosaur was complete Vision Forum and Creation Expeditions made and released a documentary titled "Raising the Allosaur". Controversy and criticisms about the film surface quickly because of many inaccuracies that were present, the most notable of which was the failure to give any credit for the excavation to the directing paleontologist Joe Taylor .[10][11] After the exposure of ethical violations the film was pulled from the market in October of 2004.[12]

Well, it was a long and interesting run, but it was time to take the Ugly Little Laptop back to work, and I think this time it's for good. I've taken it down from my hardware page, which is kind of final.
The XO does everything the old one was doing, and I'm having more fun learning how to make it work than I was with the Sotec. I felt like I had come to the end of my logical train with the K6-2 line; it wasn't ever going to get any better than the Lowarch installation, or the 25-second boot with Crux — I'm fairly sure of that.
But it was a good experience, and I feel like I made some progress and learned a lot of new things.
Retirement will be very easy for the little laptop — it's up on a shelf, on top of a stack of gift bags, wireless card plugged in and XP ready leap into action … five minutes after the power button is pressed, of course. I don't expect anyone will ever move it from that spot, unless they need a gift bag.
But best of all, I should have another, newer addition to the family by next week. Wow! No hints, though. This is top secret. 😐

Sure, pranks are things jerks often do—but sometimes, things can get genuinely mean. And there's really no other way to describe this supercut of cruel wake up pranks, where people find the most awful ways to get people to rise from their slumber.
Despite how mean the video often is (if not dangerous, and arguably stupid at times), it's funny—even if I winced often. Good compilation, clipnationdotcom.
Ah, another weekend. Do you guys have plans? I'm gonna hunker down and try to finish a couple of books, because my backlog there is starting to rival my games backlog! That, and I'll probably spend plenty of time with Tomb Raider as well as a different game I'm reviewing soon. Fun stuff.
Feel free to talk about jerks, pranks, weekend plans, or just about anything else here in this open thread or over in the Talk Amongst Yourselves forum.
See you next week!

James Madison called religious freedom the "lustre of our country" and a guaranteed right elevated above political authority. But in today's America, some leaders, including President Obama, are trying to redefine the inherent meaning of religious freedom by renaming it "freedom of worship." This revision implies that you are free to believe and practice what you want, as long as it is confined inside the walls of physical houses of worship – a hollow promise compared to the robust guarantee offered by the First Amendment.
This narrowing definition of our first freedom is modeled today by the Obama administration's attempt to force employers to violate their religious conscience by way of the HHS mandate. Likewise, a number of other high profile lawsuits seek to vacate the rights of churches and individuals to practice their faith in the public square. Just one example: The ACLU is currently suing Catholic hospitals to require them to perform abortions, which clearly violates the very faith that inspired the building of these hospitals.
Last week at a conference at the Center for American Progress, religious freedom was absurdly called "Christian privilege." For centuries, it has been the dream of progressive secularism to create a new Heaven and earth free from the perceived restraints of the divine. "The Christian religion," declared philosopher Bertrand Russell, "is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world."
But what would Western Civilization look like without God, and more specifically the Lord Jesus Christ? In The Word of Life, theologian Thomas C. Oden noted of Christ, "Western history would not be Western history without him." The role of women, the welfare of the destitute, the care of the sick, the value of education – really every sphere of society – have all been deeply impacted by one man, Jesus Christ.
The secular scheme to free us from the influence of faith in the public square promises a progressive world of peace and human advancement. In reality, throughout history, it has more commonly offered the opposite.
As the West rushes to repaganize itself, ironically, it is only reverting back to the kind of tyranny and despotism that predates Western Civilization's championing of progress and freedom.
In truth, as we are reminded this Christmas season, it's not progressive secularism that redeems the world, but Christ. The secular world, and even many people of faith, have lost sight of the fact that it is faith and the Christian life it inspires that reflect and bring us closer to the restored world promised by Christianity.
Christ of course will outlast any secular attempts to scrub His influence from society. But the current threat to religious freedom is real, and very dangerous. Unfortunately, the whole of society will reap the consequences. Charities will be negatively impacted or even forced to close their doors. More and more people will look first to a bankrupt and broken government for moral guidance. People's capacity to seek truth and knowledge for their life will diminish.
Elevating the state above the Church as the source of moral guidance and truth inverts the natural order of things, with disheartening and ultimately disastrous results. "The Church is the conscience of the state," declared Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. When government tramples inherent rights such as religious liberty, tyranny ensues. Now more than ever, it is essential that the public square be influenced not by commands emanating from the granters of political power, but by commandments issued by the Granter of our ultimate liberties.

Bush Administration proposes major new funding for Great Lakes cleanup
President Bush's 2005 budget proposal will include an unprecedented $45 million for the cleanup of contaminated sediments in the Great Lakes system.
Feb. 5, 2004 -- President Bush's 2005 budget proposal will include an unprecedented $45 million for the cleanup of contaminated sediments in the Great Lakes system.
The increase in Great Lakes Legacy Act funding was announced recently by EPA Administrator Mike Leavitt while visiting Belle Isle, an island park in the Detroit River, which is one of 31 heavily polluted "Areas of Concern." Leavitt was joined by Council on Environmental Quality Chairman Jim Connaughton.
The $45 million will be used to start or further the cleanup of four to six of the "Areas of Concern," sediment that is heavily contaminated with PCBs, heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The request is a $35 million increase over 2004 Legacy Act funding. The budget also seeks an additional $3 million for the Great Lakes Program for restoration projects and an additional $1 million for research into the control of invasive species such as the zebra mussel and Asian carp which plague the Great Lakes.
"This major increase in funding demonstrates the President's commitment to preserving and protecting these Great Lakes," Administrator Leavitt said. "Accelerating the cleanup of these contaminated areas will help keep the pollution from moving out into the lakes where cleanup becomes dramatically more difficult."
EPA will work with states, tribes and other stakeholders to identify sites that will receive money for cleanup. Funds could enhance an existing cleanup or help start a new project.
EPA's Great Lakes National Program Office is based in Chicago and works in partnership with stakeholders to protect, maintain and restore the chemical, biological and physical integrity of the Great Lakes.
Further information is available from: Great Lakes Legacy Act at: http://www.epa.gov/glla ; and Great Lakes Program at: http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/index.html .

Alexander First In for Malaysia
Five-time world champion Craig Alexander was amongst the first to sign up for IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya.
When entries went on sale yesterday for two new events in Malaysia, IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya and IRONMAN Langkawi, Craig Alexander was one of the first to sign on. The three-time Ironman World Champion and two-time Ironman 70.3 Champion is keen to race closer to home after announcing he would not contest another IRONMAN event following this year's IRONMAN World Championship. Alexander will now focus on competing at the 70.3 distance and will be a more regular face at events in the Asia-Pacific region.
"I am very much looking forward to racing the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Malaysia race in Putrajaya next April," Alexander says. "It is really exciting to see the expansion of IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 races in Asia Pacific. There is a burgeoning triathlon community here and it is great that they are being catered for."
Alexander will be a big draw to the Putrajaya event, giving the triathlon community a unique experience to race with one of the worlds' greatest athletes.
IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya will be held on April 12-13, 2014. IRONMAN Malaysia takes place on the resort island of Langkawi on Saturday, September 27.
To celebrate the launch Ironman is offering special entry opening prices and packages, for a five-day period, to reward those who act quickly.
Putrajaya, a dynamic city situated 32 km from Kuala Lumpur, symbolizes modern Malaysia. The green and intelligent city, a mix of the spectacular old and new, is the federal administrative center of the country.
Athletes will race on a rolling fast and hot Ironman 70.3 course amidst an iconic landscape that showcases Malaysia's rich culture and spectacular architecture.
Langkawi Island sets the stage for athletes from around the world to be taken on a truly Malaysian tropical cultural journey. Athletes will be embraced by the local Kampung (village) communities as they embark on their personal Ironman journey amidst one of the most welcoming and beautiful destinations in South East Asia.
IRONMAN Malaysia is one of 32 qualifying races on the global Ironman circuit that culminate with the IRONMAN World Championship in Hawaii each October. IRONMAN Malaysia will offer 40 age group qualifying slots for Hawaii in 2015.
IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya is one of 65 events worldwide that qualify athletes for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships. IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya will offer 30 age group qualifying slots for the 2014 IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Mont Tremblant, Canada on 7 September.
Professional athletes will be competing for a total prize purse of USD$40,000 for IRONMAN Malaysia and USD$15,000 for IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya.

NetApp founder and executive vice president David Hitz revealed yesterday in a blog entry that his company has filed a lawsuit against Sun, accusing the company of patent infringement. According to Hitz, Sun's ZFS file system infringes on NetApp patents that cover the "copy-on-wrte tree of blocks approach to file system consistency," which Hitz says was first used in NetApp's Write Anywhere File Layout (WAFL) file system.
Hitz—who has an unusual perspective on legal issues—says that NetApp's suit is largely a response to Sun's claims that NetApp products infringe on patents that Sun acquired from Storage Technology Corp in 2005. According to Hitz, Sun has been attempting to force NetApp to pay "millions of dollars" in licensing fees for patents that aren't applicable or valid. Hitz further argues that ZFS leverages concepts developed by NetApp for WAFL and that ZFS developers were aware that the concepts originated in WAFL. To support this argument, Hitz points to a ZFS design document published by Sun which explicitly refers to WAFL as an influence for a particular feature in ZFS.
On the other side of the debate, some analysts are comparing NetApp's lawsuit to SCO's legal assault on the Linux operating system. Cited in a ComputerWorld article, Forrester Research analyst Andrew Reichman points out that NetApp may be trying to attack the open source ZFS file system, because it has the potential to compete with commercial NetApp products.

David Blaine nears final hours of 'shocking' stunt
David Blaine is closing in on the final hours of his Electrified stunt.
He has about five hours to go to finish his three-days of standing on a platform in Hudson River Park in New York City surrounded by 1 million volts of electricity. He has had no food or sleep. He is wearing a chain-mail suit, chain-mail socks and a wire helmet as the volts sizzles around him.
Watch:'Electrified' live stream
The voltage is being generated by the public, who can control the direction and intensity of the light and sound emitted by the Tesla coils through Ultrabook devices in stations in New York, London, Beijing, Sydney, and Tokyo.
"It's like having your whole body surrounded by static electricity, the kind that makes your hair stand up on end," Blaine told the New York Times last week during a trial run. "It doesn't hurt, but it's strange.
Executives at Intel, which is sponsoring the event and providing the Ultrabook laptops for controlling the coils, told the Times it's an "experiential exposition."
Chris Rock, Woody Harrelson and Darren Aronofsky are among the celebs who have stopped by to give Blaine a few extra zaps.
Some reaction so far:
EW.com says, "With the exception of a few shocking moments of beauty and awe where Blaine was surrounded by a cloud of blue streaks of electricity, his stunt has yet to deliver any great wows. Electrified seems like more of a glorified corporate sponsorship with Ultrabook than a Blaine-worthy feat."
Kent News out of England trashed it: "Just that, for once, it would be fun to see Blaine do something properly exciting — something which doesn't consist of doing nothing for hours on end."
Examiner.com says fans are finding it "boring."
NBC reported before it even began that it's "shockingly safe."

Phelan Park
Established in 1907 and named after the Phelans, a prominent Birmingham family, the park was built up as part of a Works Progress Administration project in the late 1930s. The WPA was a New Deal program designed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to give work to needy Americans and pull the United States out of the Great Depression. The exterior rock walls around Phelan Park were constructed then and remain standing in tribute to the historical significance of the area, said Lee Nixon, carpenter foreman for A.G. Gaston Construction Co. "We had one of the WPA workers come by here and he was worried that we were going to tear his wall down,'' Nixon said. 'He said he built it during WPA days. We told him we were going to leave it up.''' -- From "Recovering Addicts Help Renovate Former Hangout,"

The film "Ajami" was already getting a fair amount of press after being nominated earlier this month for an Oscar in the "Best Foreign Language Film" category.
But the film and the violent, crime-ridden neighborhood it portrays just became an even hotter topic after two brothers of filmmaker Scander Copti – one of whom was also in the film and served as his production manager – were arrested following a run-in with the police. The brothers, Tony Copti and Jieres Copti, who say they were beaten and mistreated by the police during their arrest over a week ago, filed a complaint against the Israeli police on Monday, charging brutality.
"We have photos of how the police treated us when they arrested us, but it was only after they took us to the police station that they really started to beat us," says Tony Copti, who acted in the film and served as its production manager.
The Tel Aviv District Police issued a statement about the arrests: "This was an unusual incident of an assault on officers who arrived at a scene of a crime and were attacked by dozens of local residents who beat them and cursed them. Reasonable force was employed in order to keep the order and arrest suspects."
"We hope that they will investigate this and that justice will be done," Copti says. "This kind of thing happens a lot in Jaffa – there was a similar incident just two weeks ago. We had a big meeting of all the communities in Jaffa to talk about it. Everyday we have incidents with the police. We hope something will change."
Tensions between the Arab residents of Jaffa and the Israeli officers sent in to police them have been a factor of life in the Jewish state for many years. Several residents interviewed for this article – some of them actors in the film – say that police aggression towards them is an ongoing problem that "Ajami" only touches upon briefly.
But the strength of the film is that it doesn't try to portray a one-sided view of the tensions in which disempowered Israeli-Arabs and Palestinians are victims and the Israeli-Jews are the aggressors. Rather, the film shows the multi-layered conflict in a way that blurs lines of right and wrong, and shows the humanity of all its flawed, lovable characters.
For example, there is a teenage Palestinian from the West Bank who has smuggled himself into Jaffa illegally to work in a restaurant in the hope of making enough money to help save his ailing mother -- and inadvertently winds up in the middle of a drug deal gone wrong. And there is an Israeli cop who, having just lost his brother – a soldier who was abducted and killed outside of Nablus - cracks and shoots the young Palestinian he should have simply arrested.
The film also touches on the social complications of life for the approximately 20 percent of Israel's citizens who are "Israeli-Arabs," from forbidden romances between Jews and Arabs - as well as between Muslims and Christians – to blood feuds, which put innocent people in the line of fire just because of their family affiliation. But the overriding current of the films pulses with the lure of drugs: as a source of crime, as an economic outlet, as ultimately, a path toward destruction.
Missing context, says critic
Although he's a friend of filmmaker Scander Copti, Sami Abu Shahadeh looks at "Ajami" with a critical eye. Mr. Jabali, a Jaffa native who's doing a doctoral thesis on the city's history at Tel Aviv University, notes that the film starts in the present day and doesn't give any background as to how Ajami got to be a poor, crime-ridden neighborhood. He attributes this to the upheaval of 1948, the years of Israel's creation during which, he says, 97 percent of Jaffa's residents were expelled or fled.
Previously, he says, Jaffa was considered the Arab cultural center of British Mandatory Palestine. Now, it was reduced to a ghetto – and many lost access to property they'd owned before the war.
"One of the problems with the movie is that there is no historical context to describe how Ajami got to be a neighborhood of drugs, poverty and crime," says Abu Shahadeh. "But they made this, initially, as a community project – to bring empowerment to the neighborhood itself. It was a small project with almost no budget and no serious actors. It was never planned to be big or definitive from the beginning, so they didn't take into consideration all the implications of the movie."
For example, he says, much attention has been paid to the fact that the movie was co-written and direction by Copti and Yaron Shani, a Jewish Israeli, and there's been some backlash among the Arab community over the image that portrays.
"The movie serves Israel politically, particularly at a time of all the criticism over Gaza, because Israel couldn't hope for a better symbol of there being co-existence and democracy here than to have a film like this," Abu Shahadeh says.
Others are upset that the film portrays a negative image of Jaffa, as if it is, first and last, a drug-infested shooting gallery. That portrait hardly speaks to the fact that real estate is now so expensive in Jaffa that yuppie Tel Aviv-types are beating down the doors to buy apartments there.
"It's a film, not a PR campaign," says Mohammed Jabali, a poet and language teacher busy writing the afternoon away at Yafa, a popular café and bookstore along Jaffa's main street, one that evinces the gentrification and economic revival that's also part of the story. "Everyone is obsessed with the image this gives. But one should see it as a movie with a narrative and artistic value," says Jabali. "At the same time, it's the first film that's dealt with daily life here as it really is, without actually being about 'the conflict,'" he says.
Perhaps one of the reasons that the film feels so real is that the directors choose average people from the community, not professional actors. They were given a short acting course. And when it came time for action, they gave the actors scenarios, but not an exact script.
"Scander wanted us to act as we would in normal life," says Amal Abu Ramadan, a schoolteacher who had a role in the film. Since she and others in her family have had many run-ins with the police, she says, that wasn't difficult at all. "I think one of the great things is that the film exposed an international audience to things they haven't heard about, and which we all really need to understand better."

MOREHEAD, Ky. – The Tennessee Tech soccer team started its Kentucky road-trip on a high note Friday evening, grabbing a 1-0 victory over the Eagles of Morehead State under the lights of Jacobs Field. The Golden Eagles held strong under a late barrage of goals to nab their second OVC victory of the year.
"It's always nice to start the weekend with a win," said head coach Daniel Brizard. "We had to battle from the opening minute. Morehead was very physical and very direct in their playing style. It was a defensive battle and I'm very proud of the team for making the adjustments to the turf and lights that we normally don't play with."
The Golden Eagles got things started on the night, grabbing a goal in the 29th minute off a loose ball. Freshman Taylor Sutton scored her first career goal as a Golden Eagle and senior Kris Cambron was credited with the assist. The goal came on the only shot on goal of the night by the Golden Eagles as the match was more of a defensive battle.
The Tech defense allowed just five shots on goal in the match, enabling freshman goalkeeper Jordan Brown to keep the scorecard clean for the Golden Eagles. She grabbed five more saves to add to her impressive total. Brown now has 81 saves on the season, ranking her among the top goalkeepers in the Ohio Valley Conference.
"Jordan had a fantastic game," said Brizard. "She made some specatacular saves there at the end and really came through for us in the clutch. I'm really proud of our team as a whole. They hung in their at the end and took a positive step forward with the end. We still have some things to work on, but overall we're happy to get a win and will look to build on it at Eastern Kentucky."
The Golden Eagles will play try to sweep the weekend's matches on Sunday as they make their way to the campus of the EKU Colonels for a 12 p.m. CT match. EKU is coming off a victory over fellow OVC foe Jacksonville State.

New National Gallery, German Neue Nationalgalerie, art museum in Berlin, Ger., featuring 20th-century European painting and sculpture.
The New National Gallery is one of the museums that make up the National Museums of Berlin. The name "New" refers both to the relatively new building and the age of its collection. The gallery places particular emphasis on work from the early 20th century through the 1960s. Built in 1968, the New National Gallery was the first building completed as a part of Berlin's Kulturforum, a cluster of buildings dedicated to culture and the fine arts. Like the neighbouring Kulturforum structures, it is an example of imaginative Modernist architecture. Designed by celebrated modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, it is known popularly as the "temple of light and glass."
The New National Gallery's grounds include a sculpture garden; inside the gallery, some 53,820 square feet (5,000 square metres) of exhibition space are given over to the 20th-century's major art movements. Cubism, Expressionism, Bauhaus, and Surrealism are particularly well represented. Major artists displayed in the permanent collection include Edvard Munch, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst, Paul Klee, and Juan Gris. The gallery's Expressionist collection contains significant paintings and sculptures by the early Expressionist group Die Brücke, including works by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, and Erich Heckel. Of particular note are paintings by the Expressionist Max Beckmann, one of Germany's 20th-century masters.
