Tuesday July 5, 2011
Thanks to an overwhelming response from rescue groups, foster volunteers and animal-lovers communitywide, no dogs will have to be euthanized at Metro Animal Services due to overcrowding.
As of 4 p.m., 75 of the shelter's 150 dogs have been adopted. Staff at the Animal Care Center is continuing to help people through the adoption process. The Manslick facility will remain open until the last customer is served.
"We are thrilled with the response from the community and even more thrilled that these deserving pets have found new homes," Susan Neumayer, interim Director at Metro Animal Services said. "I'd like to offer a big thank you to everyone who turned out to make this happen today."
MAS offered a one-day, $9 dog adoption rate at its Shively location with the goal of adopting out animals as many animals as possible.
Animals are available for adoption year-round at the Animal House location at 3516 Newburg Road.

The Minnesota Wild re-signed goaltender Josh Harding to a three-year contract on Tuesday.
"I love being here, I love the city, I love the fans," Harding said. "It was really important for me to stay here and work towards my goal (of being a starting goaltender in the NHL)."
The 28-year-old Harding was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, had he chosen to test the free agent market. The Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting the deal is worth $5.7 million over three years.
"I like the way the organization is heading and I want to be a part of it," Harding said. "We're maturing, we're still young and have a lot of talent. I'm ready to get back at it."
Harding missed the entire 2010-11 season with a devastating knee injury. However, the netminder spent a full year rehabbing and was signed to a one-year contract with Minnesota last summer. He came back strong, posting 13 wins, .917 goals against average and a 2.62 save percentage. He was named the NHL's First Star of the Week ending Nov. 7.
"Last year was a big stepping stone, but it's just a start," Harding said. "I know I have a lot more to give."
Re-signing Harding gives Minnesota two proven NHL-caliber goaltenders returning next season. Harding and Niklas Backstrom helped backstop the Wild to the best record in the NHL before a multitude of injuries sidetracked the team. However, Harding believes the club became stronger because of the adversity.
"We went through the downfall last year," Harding said about the Wild's midseason struggles. "You have to learn from your mistakes, we've been there before and know what to change."
Eventually, the Regina, Saskatchewan native would like to be a starting goaltender in the NHL. He believes the three-year deal gives him an opportunity to do so in Minnesota.
"Ever since I was drafted I've wanted to be the number one goalie for the Minnesota Wild," Harding said. "Obviously that's not going to be given to me.
"Hopefully, one day, I'll be able to take over."

Packing & Moving: Low Impact Solution
A Very Green Idea From Frogbox
Moving is something we have all done and will most likely have to do again (and again, and again). Whether it's for our home or our company doesn't the hunt for the right cardboard box feel antiquated? We love a company that can take a basic service need, like moving, and make an environmental impact. Read more after the jump.
We've all been there: sorting through boxes behind the grocery store, begging for cardboard at the wine shop, being forced to purchase boxes from the moving company. For those of you in the Seattle and Vancouver, BC, area you now have a better option: Frogbox.
The idea is simple. You place an order online, they deliver the moving totes, you pack and move then Frogbox will pick up the empty boxes. The boxes, which can be reused hundreds of times, are actually cleaned after every pickup thus reducing the amount of dirt and bacteria that cardboard boxes can harbor. The trucks use waste stream bio-diesel (from recycled waste oils and cooking oils from restaurants) which lowers emissions and their website is powered by solar energy. And for those of you frog lovers, 1% of Fogbox's gross revenue is donated to frog habitat restoration. Love it!
We recently wrote about a similar service in the Bay Area . Do you have something like this in your area? If so, let us know!

This is kinda taking sustainability too far. For starters, 90% of the boxes people use for moving are already repurposed, to begin with.
Secondly very few people can afford to spend the extra money on such a service, and rely on filching boxes and newspapers from wherever they can get them (not to mention duping friends and family into helping out at a move).
I disagree. This is a great idea. Not everyone scavenges boxes for a move, and as long as it doesn't cost any more than buying new boxes, then I can see it being very popular. I'd use them!
Even better is Freecycle, where you can find people offering moving boxes after their move, and you offer them to the next person who needs them when you're done. It's where I always get my moving boxes, it's recycling and you're saving money from having to buy new boxes, what's not to love?
I agree that Freecycle is the premier choice.
Best free boxes I have found are at FedEx Kinko's or similar store. They are big but not big enough and all are the same size.. Ohh yea, I am talking about copy paper boxes and they are plenty available at Kinko's..
I think it is a nice idea. Maybe not for everyone, but could work for some. For example, if you don't own a car, hunting dumpsters for discarded boxes is nearly imposslbe.
But I wonder, in addition to being cleaned after every use, are they fumigated? Things like roaches and ants can make their way into boxes and could be transferred to an unsuspecting participant.
Oh, and there is a group called 'rentagreenbox.com' in LA and Orange county.
Local moves only though--you can only have the boxes for two weeks and they only ship in the local area.
If you also factor in the waste incurred with ripped boxes that cannot be re-used and all that packing tape (which can get really expensive!), this seems like a decent alternative solution. But it's too expensive right now, I think.
I'm pretty sure there are quite a few of these type of options - our office recently used this in DC. One good thing is that it makes you unpack!
Try usedcardboardboxes.com. They collect gently used boxes from large shipping companies that would have otherwise been thrown away. They ship them to your door, and its comparable, if not a little cheaper, to brand new boxes. I've used them twice, because either my box search came up empty, or I didn't have time to box hunt.
Rent-a-Green is a great company and were the first to bring this idea to the states. They are currently servicing every city in Orange County, Los Angeles County and select areas of the Inland Empire and San Diego County:
We have an awesome "public" email system at my workplace (of about 800 employees) where people can post about local events, stuff for sale, nanny/housekeeper recos, etc. There are constant posts from colleagues either requesting or offering moving boxes. It works out great!
I have 1 thing to say about reused boxes:

Field tested by some of the most adventurous athletes in the world, Mountain Hardwear products offer high quality performance and known quality. Their comprehensive line of outdoor gear includes sleeping bags for every level of adventure. Whether you are pursuing a lifelong dream to summit Denali or need a lightweight summer bag for weekend car camping, there is a Mountain Hardwear sleeping bag for you. From their cozy cold weather down mummy bag styles to warm weather semi-rectangular synthetic models, Mountain Hardwear sleeping bags use leading materials including:
Sleeping bags can be broken into two broad categories: down insulation and synthetic insulation. Down insulation is best known for its incredible weight to warmth ratio. Nothing compares to goose down when it comes to being light, compressible and warm. The lightest and warmest bags use down insulation, but down is not just for cold weather camping. Mountain Hardwear's Phantom 32, for example, weighs 1 lb. 7 oz., well under two pounds and is an ideal all-around bag for bag. Rated to a modest 32 degrees, it is a lightweight 3-season bag. The Phantom 32 uses premium 800-fill down and compacts down for easy packing in your backpack. Regardless of temperature rating, if you are looking for the lightest bag you can find, go with a down mummy bag.
The flipside to down is that it is higher maintenance than synthetic and does not stay warm when wet. Synthetic insulation rivals down for warmth, but a comparably rated synthetic bag is generally a little heavier and a little bulkier. The advantage to synthetics is easier care and they stand up to wet climates better than down. The Mountain Hardwear Ultralamina 32 is a great all-around 3-season synthetic model. It is warm enough to keep you cozy up in the hills without adding unnecessary bulk in your pack. It still weighs less than two pounds!
Almost all of Mountain Hardwear's sleeping bags are mummy bags, meaning that they taper from head to toe. The comfort mummy cut is a little roomier than the performance mummy cut. The comfort cut is designed with normal recreation in mind, while the performance cut helps keep bags a little trimmer for better compressibility and packing.
A good night's sleep is a key ingredient to any camping adventure, and a quality sleeping bag with a temperature rating that meets your needs is your first step to sleeping well. Mountain Hardwear puts high quality craftsmanship into every sleeping bag that they make. Be sure to check with an Altrec.com customer service representative with any questions about sleeping bag temperature ratings or to confirm a specific bag is the right choice for you. All bags come with nice stuff sacks and long-term storage bags.

You can train for a triathlon and have a life. Training for any distance event
is a commitment. I can't promise it won't consume your mind, but I can
offer training guidelines so that your time in the water or on the road doesn't
chew up every available minute of your day.
I will offer detailed week-by-week training schedules for each of
the event distances. But before you start following the schedules, be sure
you can comfortably do the first week's training for each sport. If not, spend
some time building your endurance in the sport(s) in which you're weakest.
When you have a solid fitness base, you can train for a Sprint triathlon in as
little as four hours a week over a 12-week period. That's doable.
As you increase your event distance, plan to increase the time you spend
training — in some cases, double that time. For example, to prepare for an
Olympic distance, you'll want to allow for eight hours a week for 20 weeks. A
Half-Iron will demand at least ten hours a week for 24 weeks.
An Ironman — well, forget what I said about not consuming your life. You
will eat, sleep, and breathe triathlon training for the better part of a year, or
at least 30 weeks. Everything you do, you'll think first, "How will this affect my training?" But by the time you get to the point where you're ready to
compete in an Ironman, you'll be so hooked on triathlons that this will actually
sound good to you!

Chocolate Pretzel Nachos
Ok, I'm a little excited about these. For those of you out there who like chocolate-covered pretzels, or who (like me) find anything salty and sweet absolutely irresistible, OR for those of you who just like any excuse to eat nachos — I have a new creation for you to try.
Chocolate Pretzel Nachos!!!
I have been craving chocolate-covered pretzels for a week, ever since I made two enormous (and might I say, perfectly-drizzled) batches for work that were for photographing only, not eating. But when I was thinking about trying to dip my beloved Pretzel Crisps in chocolate, I had the idea to instead turn them into some sweet chocolate nachos for snacking! And they turned out to be fantastic!!
I just piled up a bunch of pretzels, marshmallows and chocolate chips, and then drizzled them with warm hot fudge sauce and butterscotch sauce (although you could also use caramel). And then I couldn't resist throwing on a few sprinkles. ;)
Super easy, SUPER fast, and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. They would even be extra awesome when served alongside ice cream for dipping.
Fair warning that there may be some more pretzel nachos recipes coming soon. These are too fun!!!
Chocolate Pretzel Nachos
- Pretzel Crisps (I used the original flavor)
- semisweet chocolate chips
- mini marshmallows
- chocolate fudge sauce, warmed
- butterscotch or caramel sauce, warmed
- (optional) sprinkles
Toss together your desired amount of Pretzel Crisps, chocolate chips and mini marshmallows in a large bowl. Turn them out onto your serving dish. Then drizzle with warmed fudge and butterscotch (or caramel) sauce. Top immediately with sprinkles.
Serve chocolate pretzel nachos on their own, or with a side of ice cream.

MIAMI—Six years removed from being the Ravens' Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Trent Dilfer is more emotional about the events that followed the victory.
Dilfer remains extremely bitter about Brian Billick's decision to replace him with Elvis Grbac after the championship season and doesn't plan to speak to the Ravens coach again."He grossly misunderstood the talent of that football team, myself specifically," said Dilfer, who is working for the NFL Network at this year's Super Bowl. "I totally agree with so many things he did. But to this day, I am so sad I didn't have the chance to face the challenge of repeating."
But he is still steaming about being the first quarterback in NFL history to win the Super Bowl and lose his job before the next season.
Dilfer went 11-1 as the Ravens' starter after replacing Tony Banks midway through the 2000 season but struggled at times with his accuracy. Because the Ravens had such a dominating defense, there was a perception that the Ravens won in spite of Dilfer.
Since winning the Super Bowl, Dilfer said he has not had a substantial conversation with Billick.
"I have absolutely zero desire to talk to Brian Billick," Dilfer said.
Dilfer said he has spoken with former teammates Rod Woodson, Shannon Sharpe and Brandon Stokley, all of whom said they wished he could have returned as quarterback.
"Those guys will go to their graves swearing to God that we would have won two, three Super Bowls if they would have kept me," Dilfer said. "I'm not going to say that; I have no idea. But I sure would have liked the chance to face the challenge. I would have loved that opportunity."
The decision wasn't made by Billick alone. The Ravens chose to make a change at quarterback after extensive personnel meetings that were headed by general manager Ozzie Newsome.
Billick also met with several team leaders after the Super Bowl, and they reinforced his decision to go in another direction at quarterback, a league source said.
Former Ravens safety Woodson said yesterday that he always favored bringing Dilfer back.
"I don't want a guy with gaudy numbers; I want a guy that wins. I want a guy like Trent Dilfer," said Woodson, who also works for the NFL Network. "I think we could have won another Super Bowl with Trent as our quarterback."
Billick could not be reached to comment yesterday.
"We loved what Trent did for us," said Kevin Byrne, the Ravens' senior vice president of public relations. "He's a tremendous competitor."
Dilfer's name has become a popular one at this Super Bowl, but it's not been used in a positive light.
The national media are labeling Chicago Bears quarterback Rex Grossman as one of the worst quarterbacks to reach the Super Bowl, a group that often includes Dilfer. In fact, Grossman is trying to become the first quarterback not rated among the top 10 passers to win an NFL title since Dilfer.
Asked whether he could relate to how Grossman has been repeatedly beaten up by the Super Bowl media corps, Dilfer said: "Yeah, I lived it. The difference is I didn't listen to it as much. Listening to him talk, he obviously hears it."
Dilfer's advice to Grossman is to isolate himself.

Mature Adults
Seniors: Various opportunities to get involved, learn
Whether you are interested in learning, lending a hand, or just having fun, there are various opportunities for seniors to get involved with the community through countywide organizations. From quilting and learning via the library to traveling and nutrition, a number of groups are established for the sole purpose of assisting, entertaining and teaching mature adults in the community.
Weavers Guild
The guild is open to anyone in the county, not just mature adults; however, many of its members have been spinning for years. The primary focus of this group is to gather together once a month to spin (weave yarn) assorted clothing materials, such as blankets, scarfs and hats and share and learn information. The guild has 50 members from the county and meets the third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at St. Paul�s Episcopal Church at 2117 Walnut Street in Bellingham.
comes to you
If you want to get to the library, but are unable to travel due to reasons of illness or advanced age, the Whatcom County library outreach services system can come to you. The system offers on site-library service to residents, including collection of books in regular and large print, audio books, compact discs, music cassettes, colorful picture books and magazines. The outreach service is provided free of charge. Anyone interested in setting up an appointment, should call the library at 384-3150.
your time
Now that retirement is on your hands, you may not feel like �retiring.� Numerous volunteer opportunities can be found across the county to keep you busy and involved, specifically from the Whatcom Volunteer Center, an organization intent on �linking people of all ages who want to contribute their talent and time to directly assist agencies in meeting community needs.� The Center has access to information from about 350 organizations across the county. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact the center and state their interests, and center staff will work to partner up the volunteer with an organization. For example, if you�re a handyman and have an interest in home construction, the center will provide you with information about Habitat for Huamnity, a group that builds homes for people in need. The center has served as the �Heart and Hands� of the community for more than 30 years and recruits and refers volunteers to partner agencies and manages a database of nearly 3,000 volunteers� skills and interests.The Whatcom Volunteer Center can be reached at 734-3055 or online at www.whatcomvolunteer.org.
and About
Those in the community wishing to get aboard a bus and discover places across the region, can do so with the Whatcom County Senior Tour Program. The group meets the second Tuesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. at the Bellingham Senior Activity Center, and is inviting any outgoing individuals interested in travel to join. Future trips include cruises, visits to casinos and museums, baseball games and more. Anyone interested in signing up should call the Bellingham Senior Activity Center at 676-1450.
and Health
As your body and mind matures, there are several groups that assist with the preservation of health, independence and dignity, including the Senior Information and Assistance program. The group provides a link between seniors and the services appropriate to their needs, including the availability of professional caseworkers. There is no charge for this service. Anyone interested should call 738-2500 or visit online at www.nwrcwa. org/ia.html.
In addition, the department of social and health services offers a wide range of services about caregiving and medical support, and information pertaining to care facilities and the suspected abuse of elderly in the community. Visit online at www.aasa. dshs.wa.gov/ Resources/default.htm for more.
and Living
Those growing older in the community deserve to live an affordable, comfortable life. The Senior Housing Assistance Group, known as SHAG, is a non-profit organization dedicated to doing just that. The group provides affordable, independent, retirement communities for seniors and disabled seniors with self-help capabilities. Anyone in need of a new residence can contact the group and receive information about various living situations, including multi-bedroom affordable senior housing units. Call 738-8051 for more information.
There are eight senior centers offered through the Whatcom County Council on aging, the parks and recreation department. The centers are located in Bellingham, Deming, Ferndale, Sumas, Lynden, Blaine, Everson and Point Roberts and each has a full calendar of events for mature adults. In addition to a number of events the centers offer, there are also individual and group services offered for seniors 60 and over, including glaucoma screening, hearing tests, cholesterol testing and health education lectures. A nutrition program offers nutritious meals at centers, as well as delivered meals to those who are not able to prepare their own. Suggested donation for eligible consumers is $2.50 per meal. For more information, contact the Whatcom County Parks & Recreation Department at 398-1995 or e-mail seniors@ co.whatcom.wa.us.

The General Education Program is a set of requirements for all students seeking the baccalaureate degree at Western Kentucky University. It is an integral part of the undergraduate curriculum that both complements and supports the students' preparation in their major field or specialization.
The General Education Program helps students maximize their individual potential. Students develop understanding, appreciation, and acceptance of multiple "ways of knowing" (i.e., artistic, literary, philosophical, historical, scientific) through the acquisition, organization, and analysis of specific bodies of knowledge. They are encouraged to acquire aesthetic and appreciative faculties, to explore and test their own values and ethical frameworks, and to demonstrate sensitivity to diverse perspectives and cultures.
The General Education Program provides a foundation for professional success. Students learn to think critically, make rational decisions, and communicate effectively. These skills support their ability to acquire, evaluate, and use the specific knowledge in their major field or specialization and also ensure that they will be adaptable and flexible in the face of changing career plans and requirements. Students' explorations of their own values and perspectives and those of other social groups and cultures prepare them to live in a culturally diverse, globally competitive, and technologically complex world.
The General Education Program prepares students for active membership in society. It is a broadening experience that helps them acquire the shared skills, knowledge, and values that promote the well-being of society. This experience nurtures their capacity for leadership and service and helps them learn to adapt their skills and knowledge to changing societal needs.
In sum, the General Education Program gives meaning to the motto of "Life, More Life" by promoting intellectual growth, lifelong learning, and informed citizenship for all Western graduates.

The time a repair takes is a function of the amount of data and indexes and the I/O capability of your system. Right now you need access to double the amount of storage as the repair takes place. We will be optimizing this going forward. You can use the

Is It Possible to Make Homemade Creme de Violette?
Good Question
Q: Somehow due to this year's spring weather I have been coming across copious amounts of violets.
I was wondering if you could recommend any DIY créme de violette recipes?
Sent by Veronica
Editor: Violette, this depends on where you live. Unlike French violets, American violets are unfortunately odorless and therefore useless for edible purposes. (They make lovely albeit short-lived nosegays, though.) You can see a little more about this in this post:
• Can I Use American Violets in Cooking?
Readers, have you ever cooked with violets? And do you have any favorite cocktail or dessert recipes that involve creme de violette?

I'm sure you meant Veronica and not Violette :)
I just made violet jelly the other day. After steeping the violets for a day, the liquid becomes this beautiful indigo. However when you add lemon juice to it, it turns a lovely shade of magenta. There are a ton of recipes online for this (they all seem to be the same). Oddly, it tastes a bit like concord grapes. It is very subtle, but the color alone is worth it. Just yesterday I picked a quart of violets and I have them steeping in everclear right now, hoping to eventually turn it into a liqueur. I'm just kind of winging this one based on a rose liqueur recipe I found. I have no idea if it will work or not, I hope so. If anyone has any advice on infusing the liqueur or other botanicals I can add to kick it up a bit, I'd sure appreciate it.
Ahh! This is my query! I'm flattered, really.
The violets that I've been bombarded by are definitely not odorless, they smell amazing. I've done some quick research and the ones that are growing around my home are called 'viola odorata" and according to some sources, they're the genus that is used by the French in making violet syrup.
Supposedly, creme de violette, is made with brandy... but I've never tried to infuse anything ever before. I might give it a shot.
I might try it with vodka, not brandy. Brandy is fairly strongly flavored on it's own, and may overpower the violets. Vodka is essentially tasteless and odorless, and may carry the taste/scent more readily.
I unfortunately can't help with a recipe, but I love love love creme de violette. We went to Alsace a few years ago and actually brought a bottle home. It was after the no-liquids restrictions so I had a big long debate with myself about whether it was worth risking opening my suitcase to find it covered in purple, but I took the risk because it's so hard to find in the US. The bottle made it home unscatched, and we are still enjoying it. Makes a really lovely cocktail with sparkling wine!
Ha, very funny that just after I posted my last comment I came across a recipe for violet syrup. If infusing in alcohol doesn't quite work out, you could try this:

U.S. Army Issues Draft Solicitation for Future Helo
The U.S. Army issued a draft solicitation seeking technical and cost proposals from industry to develop an air vehicle for its next-generation helicopter requirement, known as the Joint Multi-Role (JMR) aircraft. The first phase of the JMR technology demonstration effort would produce two demonstrator aircraft in 2017.
The air vehicle solicitation comes after the Army Aviation Applied Technology Directorate awarded contracts last year to four companies–Boeing, Sikorsky, Bell-Boeing and AVX Aircraft–to conduct JMR configuration trades and analysis studies. The second phase of the technology demonstration will focus on mission systems.
The JMR effort, part of the Department of Defense's Joint Future Vertical Lift program, aims to develop a next-generation family of helicopters to replace the Army's current aging fleet by 2030. According to the draft solicitation, or broad agency announcement (BAA) published on August 17, the first phase of the JMR technology demonstration will address the technical risk of a "medium class" vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. In testimony before a subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee in March, Maj. Gen. William Crosby, the Army's program executive officer for aviation, said the initial effort will focus on the attack and utility mission areas, which suggests a successor to the AH-64 Apache or UH-60 Black Hawk.
The Army did not specify performance criteria for the JMR. In the past it has said that a helicopter capable of more than 170 knots, with a combat range greater than 800 km (497 miles) and the ability to hover with full combat load at 6,000 feet msl and 95 degrees F are among capabilities sought for the JMR.
The anticipated funding for the first phase of the JMR technology demonstration is $200 million "for two complete demonstration efforts," according to the BAA. The field of competitors will likely be narrowed after a preliminary design and risk review scheduled in the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2014 "to match available funding or to minimize program risk." First flights would be in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2017.

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Thirteen Die on Kentucky Roadways Last Week (Dec 15 - Dec 21)
Date of News Release: 12/22/08
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) -Preliminary statistics* indicate that thirteen people died in ten separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, December 15 through Sunday, December 21, 2008.
Twelve of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and eight of those victims were not wearing seat belts. The seat belt status of one victim could not be determined. Three crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol. Single vehicle crashes occurred in Graves, Hardin, Jefferson, Letcher, McCracken, Shelby, and Simpson counties.
A quadruple-fatality crash occurred in Jefferson county. One pedestrian fatality occurred in Fayette county and the suspected use of alcohol was a factor in that crash.
Through December 21, 2008 preliminary statistics* indicate that 788 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2008. This is 57 fewer than reported for this time period in 2007. Of the 609 motor vehicle fatalities, 380 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 89 motorcycle fatalities, 53 were not wearing helmets. Twenty-three people have been killed in ATV crashes and 21 of those were not wearing helmets. Sixty-one pedestrians have been killed. A total of 167 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

1. Pakistan shall have ruined itself through its own terrorism problems.
2. Different states in Pakistan shall slowly want to unite with India as India shall remain stable.
3. This shall then become a trend for the other states to follow.
4. In a few decades the 2 countries shall have united and thereby have solved the partition problem.
These events were prophesied by Sri Aurobindo, (Google him if need be)
Why wait for all these events to occur, we can all start uniting as people at least abroad in western countries....

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Neville Public Museum will turn 100 in 2015, and museum officials are starting to take a look at its future.
The Neville invited a group of 100 visionaries and successful leaders from the community Tuesday night as they start work on a new master plan, capital campaign and the 2015 celebration.
Museum Director Rolf Johnson says they have to make major changes in the next five years.
"From what kind of programs are we doing, what are our exhibits like and even if the building is working for us," Johnson said.
Johnson envisions a new glass front facade. He questions if the museum should continue to be multi-disciplinary by offering art, history and science.
Johnson also wants to change the governance and turn the museum into a non-profit organization.
"Right now the museum is a department of Brown County, but we have other bosses, the foundation, a governing board," Johnson says "we need to have one leader and one budget that we can work with moving forward.
A new name for the museum is also being considered.

Throughout his nearly eight-year papacy, and for 25 years before that as the Vatican's chief doctrinal officer, Pope Benedict XVI steered the Catholic Church away from the liberalizing reforms symbolized by the Vatican II conference of 1962. His strict interpretation of Catholic teachings led to a proportionally greater emphasis on the church's opposition to birth control, abortion, and homosexuality. Meanwhile, the Vatican asserted tighter authority over church affairs, a reversal of the decentralizing trends of an earlier era.
These shifts in focus sometimes put the Vatican at odds with followers in the West; Benedict, in turn, expressed concern over the loss of faith among many Catholics in Western Europe and the United States. The Vatican's efforts to rein in certain groups of nuns and other independent-minded religious orders left some Western Catholics feeling alienated. But when called upon to deal with clergy-abuse scandals in the United States and many European countries, Benedict went significantly further than his predecessors in acknowledging the Vatican's failure to properly handle such allegations. His papacy has been a time of doctrinal clarity amid increasing challenges within the diverse global community of Catholics.

Question: I am support staff for my manager and I receive numerous meeting requests for her calendar. How can I stop getting these notifications?
Answer: If your manager sets you up as a delegate, the permissions causes the delegate to receive copies of meeting related messages by default. Your manager would need to uncheck the options for your delegation permissions. In Outlook 2010, go to File > Account Settings > Delegation. Click your delegates name (or add a delegate here) and click permissions. Under Calendar permissions, uncheck the box that says, "Delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me." In Outlook 2007, select Tools > Options > Delegates tab. For Outlook 2011 on the Mac, go to Outlook > Preferences > Accounts and click Advanced and select Delegates.

The power of the no-trade clause
More nonstop Peavy action!
The San Diego Union-Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times are both reporting that Peavy could veto a trade to the Braves if it involves shortstop Yunel Escobar, the key player in the deal from their end. He and his agent worry that the Braves won't be competative if they give up too much major-league ready talent.
If that's the case, the Cubs are probably the frontrunners for Peavy's services. Towers has narrowed the list of teams down to the Cubs, Braves and Dodgers. The Dodgers would likely have to pay a premium to get the Padres to trade Peavy within the division. Hendry admits he made an offer but wouldn't offer specifics.
Kevin Hart is another player who could be available.
UPDATE: Jeff Passan of Yahoo! claims to have the package the Padres asked for:
The Padres have asked the Cubs for right-hander Jeff Samardzija as the headliner of a package that could include outfielder Felix Pie, pitcher Sean Marshall and infielder Ronny Cedeno. Other potential pieces, another source said, were pitcher Kevin Hart and minor-league pitcher Donnie Veal.
The inclusion of Samardzija – whose much-discussed no-trade clause is limited, according to a source – could motivate the Padres to complete a deal. As he left the general managers' meetings in Dana Point, Calif., on Thursday, Padres GM Kevin Towers told a small group of reporters that he planned on trading Peavy before the winter meetings, which start Dec. 7.
Some non-Peavy stuff:
- The Cubs still have to figure out what to do with their outfield; Kosuke Fukudome has received some trade interest. Right now the Cubs plan to platoon him in center field with Reed Johnson.
- The Cubs could be dealing for longtime Hendry crush object Aaron Heilman.
- As if you didn't know it already, Bud Selig doesn't want Cuban to own the Cubs.
Has the issue of
Peavy's health been thoroughly investigated by the Cubs? We certainly don't need another starter that needs two weeks vacations between every couple starts.
What concerns me most is that the Cubs early playoff exits the last two years has had little to do with the pitching. If Hendry is concerned about Marshall not being able to fill Dempster's shoes, why isn't he concerned about balancing the lineup and getting a legit leadoff man and productive LH stick for RF?
If you remember, the Cubs went into 2008 with Z, Lilly and Marquis as givens, with only hopes that Dempster would produce and Lieber, Marshall and Gallagher competing for the 5th. spot.
Going into 2009, the Cubs have Z, Lilly, Harden and Marquis as givens and a more experienced Marshall and possible Samardzija as a 5th. starter.
WTF! Does Hendry have a clue as to what he's doing? Money spent on resigning Dempster or money spent and talent surrendered for Peavy with the caveat that Peavy's actually healthy, doesn't leave much money left to address the greater need of upgrading the offense.
Unless there is a pile of cash sitting around somewhere, Hendry's hot pursuit of Peavy is ass backwards as to what the Cubs real needs are..
Peavy is younger than
Peavy is younger than Dempster by a number of years, and Dempster has a history of arm problems, too.
Peavy is less expensive than Dempster will be by perhaps as much as 4 or 5 million dollars.
Peavy is a no-brainer. Besides, I'm sure you are aware that all trades require physicals before they are completed.
Oh that's right,
there has never been any history of clubs trading damaged goods. Why should I be so concerned?
I hope that if the Cubs do get Peavy, which of course I concur is a better pitcher than Dempster if healthy, that Hendry doesn't cry poor mouth that he has no money left. A deal for Peavy also depletes the Cubs slim talent pool for any further trades, like Hermidia or Roberts.
Again, Peavy will actually
Again, Peavy will actually make less money than Dempster next year. I would suspect it would be *more likely* that Hendry would cry "poor mouth" after signing Dempster.
One other thing - when's the last time Jim Hendry unknowingly traded for damaged goods? For that matter, when's the last time the CUBS unknowingly traded for damaged goods?
Ernie Broglio?
Dizzy Dean? Todd Hundley? Oh wait, he was just sucky.
You're telling me
that when you trade for a starter like Harden in mid-season, and he can't take his start every 5 days on at least 3 different occasions, that he was healthy? How about Garciapparra? What makes it worse is that you have a point Kurt, it wasn't unknowingly it was knowingly.
Still, when you look back at most good pitching organizations like Atlanta, they often used their 5th. spot in the rotation for one of their own youngsters.
I'm not trying to compare Marshall with Peavy but is it smart to gut the team of any youth so their only other option to upgrade the team is through free agents?
Maybe I am unfairly biased against Hendry and am way off base.
Exactly, Clute. The keyword
Exactly, Clute. The keyword is "unknowingly." The Cubs knew all about Harden, they knew all about Nomar, etc.
If we look at what the Cubs might resemble next year, Zambrano, Harden, and Peavy would all be 27 or 28. To have 3 pitchers of their caliber at that age would be amazing. Marquis and Lilly would be something like 30 and 32 respectively. Age-wise, having a 22, or 24 year-old pitcher with potential can only go so far, as opposed to having perhaps three of the best pitchers in baseball who are only 3 to 5 years older.
Basically what we're talking about here is having either Dempster or Peavy in the rotation next year ... on all levels, in all ways, Peavy is better than Dempster, and he's worth the prospects.
Valid point Kurt
about having three front of the order starters 28 and under, but unless you disagree with the premise that the Cubs past two offseasons were flops because of a poorly constructed offense, I feel the need for significant upgrades in the offense trump the value of adding Peavy instead of staying with Marshall or even possibly the Shark in the rotation.
Oh no, I'm aware that the
Oh no, I'm aware that the Cubs will be seeking to upgrade elsewhere, particularly in RF. There are two ways to do it - via trade or free agency, obviously. If the Cubs trade for Peavy, they will financially be in a better position to afford somebody else via free agency. If the Cubs bring back Dempster, they will financially be best suited to make a trade for a younger, less expensive - and possibly less talented - outfielder.
Or, the Cubs could trade for Peavy, re-sign Dempster, and deal Marquis, making Peavy an upgrade on Marquis for only 500k more in the coming season. But that's the talk of dreams.
