Conservation Paleobiology
Humans are now a major force in altering the Earth and its biota—we live in the Anthropocene. Current challenges include finding ways to mitigate human impacts on biodiversity, and developing means to sustain and restore the ecosystem services on which we depend. Conservation Paleobiology, the application of geohistorical records to the conservation and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem services, can lead this effort. Read the NSF Workshop Report!
The Paleontology Portal includes a wide range of educational resources, including information on famous fossil localities, a gallery of photographs of fossils, information on paleontology careers, and interviews with paleontologists.

OSGi and JPA
Tutorial: Using JPA in an OSGi Environment
The tutorial below is a simple guide to developing and running JPA code in diverse OSGi environments (Eclipse Equinox, Apache Felix, Knopflerfish) with various JPA providers (Hibernate, EclipseLink, OpenJPA) and OSGi Enterprise API implementations (Apache Aries, Eclipse Gemini).
If you are interested in the source code used in this tutorial, please, refer to GitHub.
JPA and OSGi: known facts:
The Java Persistence API (JPA) is a specification that provides developers with a way to map objects to managing relational data in Java based environments. JPA is a part of Java Enterprise Edition 5 and 6 the latest version of which is 2.0. There are three broadly-known JPA open-source providers in the market:
1. Hibernate
2. EclipseLink
3. OpenJPA
The JPA Service Specification was first introduced in OSGi Enterprise Specification 4.2 in March 2010. Afterwards, the Apache and Eclipse communities presented their implementations of the OSGi Enterprise Specifications:
Short overview of the tutorial steps
Beneath, is a list of the steps that are implemented in this tutorial:
• development of JPA model OSGi bundle with persistence.xml
• JPA model bundle tuning for different JPA providers
• development of JPA client bundle
• bundles configuration for Eclipse Gemini with EclipseLink
• bundles configuration for Apache Aries with OpenJPA
• build Hibernate OSGi bundle
• bundles configuration for Apache Aries with Hibernate
• build EclipseLink activation bundle
• bundles configuration for Apache Aries with EclipseLink
• bundles configuration for standalone EclipseLink
JPA model bundle description
To make our description more comprehensible and vivid let's dwell on our tutorial model.
I should mention that this model is a simple structure of two classes (Student and Group – Listing 1) that are linked to each other in one-too-many bi-directional way. JPA 2.0 annotations are used to describe persistence entities and named queries.
Here we add a persistence description file (persistence.xml – Listing 2). It contains the list of model classes and some tutorial-specific settings:
• transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL" - to set transaction type explicitly. (The tutorial does not cover any optional functionality like external transaction managers)
• <exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes> – to disable scanning of persistence unit by persistence provider and attach only classes that are explicitly listed.
The file should be stored under META-INF/persistence.xml path. The next step for the model is to pack all classes into OSGi bundle. (maven-bundle-plugin configuration - Listing 3). The most important OSGi MANIFEST headers are:
• Import-Package should contain javax.persistence;version ="1.1.0";jpa="2.0" to import JPA packages with required JPA version
• Export-Package should export model package: org.knowhowlab.tips.jpa.model
• Meta-Persistence: META-INF/persistence.xml – is a relative path to persistence description file
• Import-Package could contain used JDBC driver package (in our case, this is org.apache.derby.jdbc). As an alternative, this package could be imported by client bundle to decouple model from JDBC drivers.
Every JPA provider needs minor fine-tuning of the model bundle. Maven profiles were added to meet these requirements:
• EclipseLink profile:
- name: eclipselink
- run command: mvn clean install -P eclipselink
- details:
– add to imported packages: org.eclipse.persistence. indirection
– add EclipseLink-specific properties to persistence.xml:
- javax.persistence.jdbc.driver - database JDBC driver class name
- javax.persistence.jdbc.url - database-specific connection URL
- eclipselink.ddl-generation - database generation actions
eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode – database generation target
• OpenJPA profile:
- name: openjpa
- run command: mvn clean install -P openjpa
- details:
– add to imported packages: org.apache.openjpa.enhance,org.apache.openjpa.util
– enhance model classes with org.apache.openjpa.enhance.PCEnhancer
– add OpenJPA-specific properties to persistence.xml:
- javax.persistence.jdbc.driver – database JDBC driver class name
- javax.persistence.jdbc.url – database-specific connection URL
openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings – run mapping tool to create database
• Hibernate profile:
- name: hibernate
- run command: mvn clean install -P hibernate
- details:
– add to imported packages: org.hibernate.proxy,javassist.util.proxy
– add Hibernate-specific properties to persistence.xml:
- hibernate.dialect - database dialect
- hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto - database generation mode
hibernate.connection.url - database connection URL
- Overview of the Tutorial Steps
- JPA Client Bundle
- Aries with Hibernate Configuration

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says President Barack Obama is taking advantage of new advances in the wireless industry to help create jobs.
Obama is expected to announce Friday that he's directing federal agencies to be more efficient in their use of radio spectrum and to make more capacity available to satisfy the growing demand for broadband Internet.
There's also a $100 million investment in spectrum sharing and advanced communications. And, a "Spectrum Technology Day" is being planned to call attention to advances in spectrum sharing and other innovations aimed at satisfying the demand for it.
The White House says the announcements will build on a program Obama recently announced to bring high-speed, digital connections to practically all U.S. students to improve teaching and learning.

SMF Community Helpers > SMF Documentation Help
Information for new Wiki translators
<< < (3/22) > >>
--- Quote from: Roar on July 31, 2011, 05:31:48 PM ---I am not sure I understand this. The Manual says "Once the sub-page is created the second step is copy the entire template to the sub-page"?
--- End quote ---
Yep, that for sure needs some further comment...
Quick explanation: the "main principle" is that you click on the "edit" button of the English version, select all the text inside and copy it to the new page in your language.
I'll expand later, I'm in a hurry now sorry... :)
Angelina Belle:
Emanuele, This is a very good beginning.
I have tried to add some step-by-step instructions.
All translators -- please let us know if these instructions are useful. The documentation team is trying to do our best with what is available to help translators provide documentation in as many languages as possible, and will will try to improve as we learn more.
Thank You!
Thanks Angelina!
I did just 2 minor fixes and added a link to this category, so we will have a "central list" of templates that can be translated. :)
In the meantime, if you want you can start with version specific and I'll check which other templates contain text that should be translated.
As I have not seen an announcement for this board, neither had an information, just a question:
Is this board "Wiki Translations" accessible by all that can access "Translation forum" or it's restricted to a part of them?
agridoc, it is accessible by everyone that can access Translate forum, as we wanted to inform all translators about wiki translation process.

For over 15 years Time Warner Cable news channel NY1 has taken the camera behind the curtain to bring theatrical news to the forefront with their popular program On Stage — offering a glimpse into Broadway rehearsals and covering high-profile theatre events and opening nights. Now Time Warner Cable is taking the camera across the country as On Stage heads Across America.
"We're actually bringing the real stories that are happening behind the scenes, backstage, on Broadway, on the road, and in high schools across America to a national platform," said NY1 theatre reporter — and occasional Playbill contributor — Frank DiLella, who co-hosts the new monthly series alongside Playbill editor Blake Ross. "Truth be told, more arts programming is needed."
Arts programming takes center stage in On Stage Across America, where the show sets out to inform theatregoers about theatrical happenings across the nation because, as the team at TWC believes, "Broadway no longer applies to just New York City. Broadway is a national name." The new half-hour program will simultaneously bring Broadway to audiences across the U.S. and share theatrical successes from around the country with audiences in New York.
"Our goal is to try to [provide] coverage in areas that are undercover," added Steve Paulus, senior vice president of news and local programming. Besides covering the current scene on and Off-Broadway, each episode will give viewers a taste of regional theatre — including productions that plan to transfer to the Great White Way, various world premieres, and pieces birthed at nationally recognized arts festivals — plus a look at youth-driven amateur productions commanding the spotlight of attention.
"There are some incredible high school theatre programs that are part of our fabric that is the United States of America," said DiLella, who visited the Rochester School of the Arts in the first episode. It featured the school's production of the Tony Award–winning musical Avenue Q, in which, during a state of panic where the musical's puppets were unavailable to be licensed, the show's leading player, Ben Northrup, took the reigns to handcraft the furry creatures that populate Avenue Q.

The Sheriff's Communications Bureau supports all divisions of the Sheriff's Office and operates one of the largest police/fire dispatch 911 centers in Michigan. The Bureau is made up of one Chief of Communications, six Dispatch Specialist Shift Leaders, forty-eight Dispatch Specialists, and one office assistant. One additional position is assigned as a Quality Control Auditor, who routinely reviews service quality to ensure a constant and consistent work performance, and also provides for the specific training needs of the staff.
The bureau provides all the emergency and non-emergency answering for all of the Oakland County Sheriff's Office and six local law enforcement agencies. This includes 911 cell phone calls for many communities within Oakland County. 911 calls constitute 85% of all calls received. Additionally, emergency dispatching for sixteen fire departments is provided as well as for Oakland County Animal Control after regular business hours. All call takers are fully trained in Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD), Emergency Fire Dispatch (EFD), and Emergency Police Dispatch (EPD).
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office Communications Center serves as the "default call center" for the entire County. Upon receiving these calls, the staff determines the location of the emergency and transfers the call to the appropriate law enforcement or fire agency. This process has proven to be an efficient and seamless solution for routing these 911 emergencies.
The Sheriff's Office 911 center is equipped to provide assistance to other area 911 centers if a center is unable to operate due to a situation, such as phone outages, etc. During those emergencies, the Sheriff's Office center is designed to accept re-routed 911 calls from those affected areas.In 2010, the OPEN SKY radio system was deployed in our Communications Bureau. The Sheriff's 9-1-1 center is now able to communicate with any law enforcement officer, firefighter, EMT, as well as any other Oakland County dispatch center. These first responders also have the ability to communicate with each other and coordinate their responses using one of the nation's most advanced inter-operable radio networks. In 2012, two full Michigan Public Safety Communications System (MPSCS), state radio consoles, were installed in the Communications Center to provide regional interoperable communications for the metro-Detroit area and southeast Michigan. The Next Generation ready Positron VIPER 9-1-1 System was integrated into the Sheriff's 9-1-1 center and has improved call routing, call handling, and is now providing statistical data identifying trends in peak call volumes to assist in the scheduling of personnel.
In 2013, the Communications Center managed 503,235 telephone calls. 911 cellular calls now constitute 82.6% of the total 911 calls received. The entire Communications Bureau remains committed to providing the best service possible.

Kyle's not into the duck, which "feels like a brown piece of bubblegum." Brandi is feeling protective of Kim, telling her to wipe her face quickly, before Kyle notices, and makes a big to-do of her looking a mess.
Yolanda also steps in, shutting Lisa down while she's filling Mauricio in about the night's drama. Lisa IS being a little frustrating right now. Never thought I'd say that. Yolanda's good for that, shutting down petty drama before it gets worse.
The next day, Kyle, Mauricio, Yolanda and Kim go shopping. While in a store, the women get a minute alone, and last night's awkwardness instantly comes up. Kim understands Kyle's concern, but she thinks Lisa was being phony, especially since she hasn't called Kim to check on her all day.
Kyle also isn't Team Lisa right now, feeling like she's holding a grudge because Kyle didn't side with her in her fight with Adrienne. Whatever.
Aww, Mauricio sneakily bought Kim the purse she was looking at. Brother-in-law of the year. Then he goes off on a dorky Segway tour with Ken, ruining any good will I was feeling toward him.
The ladies visit the Eiffel Tower, marveling at how high up they are. Of course, Yolanda freaks all of them out by fearlessly leaning over the side. She's great.
Kyle pulls Lisa aside to discus whatever problems they have. Lisa thought their issues had been resolved, but Kyle thinks Lisa's cold. But after your friendship gets rocked liked that, with you talking behind her back with freaking Adrienne, Kyle, you may not be BFFs again for a while.
Ahhhh, now we get to the real issue. Kyle's jealous because of Lisa's friendship with Brandi. That's why Kyle was so aghast when Lisa defended Brandi during the Adrienne stupidity. She wasn't so cool with Adrienne. She was having a temper tantrum because she thought Brandi took her place.
Finally, they hug, and it seems to be over, but who can ever really tell with these women?
Next time: More being passive aggressive in Paris, Kyle's store opening and Yolanda vs. Taylor. This is the season that never ends.

Adult Fiction GUTERSO
Summary: From the author of the best-sellingSnow Falling on Cedars, a dazzling new novel about youth and idealism, adulthood and its compromises, and two powerfully different visions of what it means to live a good life. John William Barry has inherited the pedigree--and wealth--of two of Seattle's elite families; Neil Countryman is blue-collar Irish. Nevertheless, when the two boys meet in 1972 at age sixteen, they're brought together by what they have in common: a fierce intensity and a love of the outdoors that takes them, together and often, into Washington's remote backcountry, where they must rely on their wits--and each other--to survive. Soon after graduating from college, Neil sets out on a path that will lead him toward a life as a devoted schoolteacher and family man. But John William makes a radically different choice, dropping out of college and moving deep into the woods, convinced that it is the only way to live without hypocrisy. When John William enlists Neil to help him disappear completely, Neil finds himself drawn into a web of secrets and often agonizing responsibility, deceit, and tragedy--one that will finally break open with a wholly unexpected, life-altering revelation. Riveting, deeply humane,The Otheris David Guterson's most brilliant and provocative novel to date.

COLUMBUS, OHIO (WSAU) The Wisconsin women lost a double-overtime game at Ohio State last night, 65-to-59. The Badgers blew a four-point lead in the final 11 seconds of regulation, as they fouled Tayler Hill on a three-point attempt with a second-and-a-half left. She made two free throws and missed the third on purpose, and Amerst Alston scored quickly for Ohio State to send the game to overtime.
The Buckeyes outscored Wisconsin 7-to-1 in the second extra period to decide the contest. Coach Bobbie Kelsey made it clear that her Badgers should have won it in regulation. In her words, "When you have the game, you have to play smart until the final horn."
Jacki Gulczynski played all 50 minutes for Wisconsin, scoring a career-high 32 points with 15 rebounds. Ashley Adams had 16 points and nine boards for Ohio State, which improved to 3-and-7 in the Big Ten and 13-and-10 overall.
Wisconsin blew a chance to sweep its first season series from the Buckeyes since 2000. The Badgers fell to 2-and-8 in the conference and 10-and-13 overall. They'll host Indiana on Sunday. -2/8-

NEW YORK Carpenter Technology Corp., which posted a 39.8-percent jump in earnings in its fiscal second quarter, is looking for acquisition opportunities.
"We are active in looking at opportunities in the (performance engineered products) area. In the ultra-premium area, there are a couple of areas of interest," president and chief executive officer William A. Wulfsohn said during a conference call. "Obviously it takes two to tango, but we have some ideas and were working on them."
The Wyomissing, Pa.-based company posted net income of $33 million for the three months ended Dec. 31, up from $23.6 million in the same period a year earlier, on sales that climbed 23.8 percent to $533.5 million. Excluding revenue from surcharges, net sales of $430.7 million were up 30 percent, which the company attributed primarily to the acquisition of Latrobe Specialty Metals Inc.
The Latrobe acquisition had delivered "double the expected synergies," Wulfsohn said during the conference call, while the company also received strong end-market demand for its premium and ultra-premium products.
"At the same time, we see weaker demand for lower-value mill product lines and destocking in the titanium medical supply chain," he said. "We currently expect a full-year operating income improvement of 20 to 30 percent vs. our last fiscal year, with strong fiscal second-half revenue and earnings. We continue to believe that our sustained investment in aerospace and energy markets will continue to drive profitable growth over the next several years."
The company said that aerospace and defense sales were up 36 percent year on year, with demand for superalloy engine materials remaining strong due to higher build rates and initial pull-through for new engine programs.
Meanwhile, demand growth for material used in oil and gas applications outpaced weaker demand for power generation materials.

NYC's Con Ed Union Threatens Strike
As the temperature in New York City again teases the triple-digit mark, the local Con Ed union says it may go on strike at midnight tonight.
Local 1-2 of the Utility Workers Union of America vows to strike if it can't reach a deal by midnight, when its current four-year contract expires. Both sides were far apart yesterday on pay, pension and health-insurance issues, said union spokesman John Melia. Con Ed said in a statement that it was confident it could reach a deal "that is fair and equitable for our employees and customers." Yesterday, the mercury hit 97 degrees at La Guardia Airport at 4 p.m. — but with the humidity's punch, it felt like 103, said AccuWeather.com meteorologist John Dlugoenski.The NYFD has warned residents against opening fire hydrants and is offering hydrant spray-caps at the city's fire stations. Con Ed union officials warn that a strike may result in power outages.
"If [Chief Executive] Kevin Burke persists in failing to engage in meaningful discussions and forces a work disruption, the system shows every indication that it will not be able to hold up in another heat wave," said Harry Farrell, president of Local 1-2. "There will be outages, and Con Ed will not be able repair the damage." But the company has about 5,000 managers who could step in to keep power on in the event of a labor stoppage. To prepare for a strike, Con Ed has put contingency plans in place and has retrained its managerial force. It has also increasingly relied on outside contractors and can depend on some of them to step in. Work on major construction projects could be limited if a strike occurs.

LAOS: US Embassy Supports Nation's First-Ever LGBT Pride Celebration
Laos has held its first-ever LGBT Pride event with the support of the U.S. Embassy.
More than 100 people attended the event, which took place on the sports field of the U.S. Embassy. The guests of honor were U.S. Ambassador Karen Stewart and Dr. Bounpheng Philavong, Director of the Center for HIV/AIDS/STI (CHAS) at the Lao Ministry of Health. During their remarks, both Dr. Bounpheng and Ambassador Stewart congratulated the event organizers for taking an important first step to achieving full acceptance of LGBT people in Lao society.The theme was "Proud To Be Us."
"The message we want to send is that no matter what you look like or where you come from or what your sexual orientation is, every single one of you is a person with value and should be treated with dignity and respect," Ambassador Stewart told the crowd to loud applause. The event drew performers and participation from a number of organizatons that provide outreach and services to Laos' LGBT community, including the Purple Sky Network, Lao Positive Health Association (Lao PHA), Population Services International (PSI), the Burnet Institute, Family Health International (FHI), the Vientiane Youth Center for Health and Development, and UNFPA.

Bus Monitor Bullies Get Suspension
The four seventh grade boys who brutally bullied New York bus monitor Karen Klein have been suspended from school.
The school system in the Rochester suburb of Greece says it will suspend the middle school students from their school and from using regular bus transportation for a year for bullying Karen Klein. The students will be transferred to a special alternative education program because the district is legally required to give them an education. Each student also will be required to complete 50 hours of community service with senior citizens. They will be able to reapply to middle school after they complete the discipline. In a statement, the school system said each of the students involved admitted wrongdoing, accepted the consequences and agreed to let the district publicly release the terms of their disciplinary action. The cellphone video posted online by a fellow student drew millions of viewers. The video shows Klein trying her best to ignore a stream of profanity, insults and outright threats. One student taunted: "You don't have a family because they all killed themselves because they don't want to be near you." Klein's oldest son killed himself 10 years ago.As of yesterday Klein's internet "vacation fund" had over $667,000 in it.

Supreme Court Gets First DOMA Request
Earlier this month I reported that the House GOP was planning to ask the Supreme Court to rule on the First Circuit Court of Appeal's overturn of DOMA's Section 3. Today they did just that. Chris Geidner reports:
In a filing obtained by Metro Weekly, BLAG asks the Supreme Court, which must agree to consider the case, to take the appeal for three reasons: (1) the constitutionality of DOMA Section 3 is "an issue of great national importance" and raises separation-of-powers questions; (2) the First Circuit decision conflicts with the Supreme Court's 1972 decision in Baker v. Nelson and other appellate decisions; and (3) the First Circuit "invented a new standard of equal protection review." In the course of the filing, called a petition for a writ of certiorari, BLAG states that "[t]he executive branch has ... abdicated its traditional role of defending the constitutionality of duly-enacted statutes." BLAG, which voted 3-2 to defend DOMA in court challenges, is made up of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.). Pelosi and Hoyer have objected to the filings.Should the Court agree to take the case, it would be heard in their new term which begins October 1st.

Beauty And The Beat
Even though it's by miles the most wildly popular viral video of the week, I've resisted posting this "hood take" on Disney produced by openly gay American Idol contestant Todrick Hall. It's funny, clever, inventive, and musically brilliant. But it takes its humor at the expense of the stereotyped, impoverished black community and that makes me uncomfortable behind the laughs. A black reader just told me to let go of my "white man guilt" and just enjoy it. I hate it when I get all "too PC to be cool," so I'm posting to generate some discussion. Yeah, I'm probably over-thinking this....
UPDATE: Hall has posted a "behind the scenes" look.

Quote Of The Day - Fred Karger
"After 2 ½ years of campaigning as a candidate for President of the United States I am officially ending my historic campaign today June 29, 2012. It's been one hell of a ride, and I want to thank the thousands of people across this country who volunteered, contributed, opened their homes, came to our events and cheered me on. Special thanks to the thousands more who shared their stories with me in person, via email, facebook, twitter, etc.
"Every one of you kept me going. It's been the experience of a lifetime. I've made many new friends and undoubtedly picked up a few more detractors. I hope and trust that my discussion of the key issues helped to open dialog on fixing the economy, balancing the federal budget, creating jobs, education reform, the environment, immigration reform, ending the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and fighting for full equality for all lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans." - Gay GOP presidential candidate Fred Karger, calling it quits via press release.

NEW YORK CITY: Christian Churches Win Right To Hold Services In Public Schools
This battle has been going on for a long time and it appears that the virulently anti-gay Alliance Defense Fund has finally won the right for churches to hold weekend services in New York City's public schools.
The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) won on Friday a permanent injunction in the 17-year legal battle involving the Bronx Household of Faith and the NYC Board of Education. Religious groups will now be allowed to meet freely for worship services in public school facilities. "Churches that have been helping communities for years can continue to offer the hope that empty buildings can't," expressed ADF Senior Counsel Jordan Lorence in a statement. "The court's order allows churches and other religious groups to meet for worship services in empty school buildings on weekends on the same terms as other groups. ADF will continue to defend this constitutionally protected right if the city chooses to continue using taxpayer money to evict the very groups that are selflessly helping the city's communities, including the public schools themselves."As an example of what goes on at some of these churches, here's what the Village Church, which operates out of PS 3 on Hudson Street, has on its website.
GAME (Gender Affirming Ministry Endeavor) is a ministry of the Village Church, a member of the Exodus International Church Network. The Village Church is committed to celebrating gender, the deeply Biblical reality of our identities. We believe that it is dehumanizing to compel anyone to found his or her identity on sexual desires. So we resist efforts to coerce people into labeling themselves as "gay" or "lesbian" just because they have same-sex attractions. We harm people when we make the nature of their sexual attraction their identifying characteristic. Rather, all of us can find healing and direction through more deeply understanding and affirming our genders as women and men. Check out our Statement on Homosexuality for more details. We have a group that meets weekly and a church that is ready to walk with you. If you'd like to know more, email us or leave a voicemail at 646-863-6020. One of our GAME team members will contact you.We're supposed to believe that these "pop-up" churches pack up all their propaganda and hate materials every Sunday night and leave nothing behind for the kiddies to "accidentally find." One of the involved litigant churches has openly expressed their goal to get a foothold in every public school in the city.

One Million Moms Vs Gay Oreos
What took them so long?
Oreo (Kraft Foods) is joining others in supporting Gay Pride. This month is LBGT Pride month and only time will tell if Oreo's support will continue. The company announced its support for same sex marriage on the Oreo Cookie Facebook page with a picture of a rainbow version of their famous cookie. Oreo's Facebook thread read, "Proudly Support Love!" with a graphic that read "June 25| Pride". The cookie maker is quick to point out that the picture is simply an ad, and doesn't depict a true product. But it announced to American consumers where it stands on the controversial "gay" marriage issue nonetheless. Homosexuals are weighing in, hoping Oreo makes the fake cookie real. But JCP's freefall should serve as a warning to other companies before they decide to cater to homosexuals and their sinful lifestyle choices. There are plenty of cookies on the market for moms to buy for their families that do not support liberal causes. We have a choice. Kraft's brands include Oreo, Cadbury, Maxwell House, and Nabisco. One Million Moms will continue to support companies in the future with full understanding where they stand on principles and morality. We will choose to stay away from those who do not support moral decency.

France Sets Marriage Timetable
As I mentioned two weeks ago, upon the election of President Francois Hollande and the following landslide of Socialists into the national legislature, same-sex marriage was all but guaranteed for France. Today the French government officially set the timetable.
"Within a year, people of the same sex will be able to marry and adopt children together," Dominique Bertinotti, junior minister for families, told the daily Le Parisien. "They will have the same rights and duties as any married couple." A law granting full marriage status to gay couples would bring France, which currently provides only for same-sex civil unions, into line with fellow EU members Denmark, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden. It would also mark a profound change in French society, where more than two-thirds of people still describe themselves as Roman Catholic, according to a 2010 survey by pollster Ifop. However, fewer and fewer of them adhere to strict Roman Catholic teachings on sexual issues or back the Vatican's condemnation of homosexuality. Church attendance has collapsed.(Via Zack Ford)

DC Republicans Back LGBT Rights
Via press release from Log Cabin Republicans:
Yesterday, the DC Republican Committee (DCRC), the DC equivalent of a state party, became the first Republican state party to insert inclusive language into its party platform leading up to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida. Under the heading of 'Family and Marriage,' the DCRC added, "We, the Republicans of the District of Columbia support the belief that all individuals, without regard to sexual orientation, are entitled to full and equal protection under the laws and the Constitution and that everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect."Color me shocked.

Critics Rave Over Google's Tablet
Geek sites are slavering over Google's coming Nexus 7, their smaller than an iPad, bigger than an iPhone tablet. Engadget raves:
The Nexus 7 is an amazing package for something that costs a penny less than $200. It feels like something that could sell for much more. It has a great screen, solid performance and a clean, clear, uncluttered version of Google's latest operating system, Jelly Bean. From a pure hardware standpoint it beats the Kindle in every way possible -- except for content. Amazon's selection almost always trumps that of Google's, both in terms of variety and cost, but that's one wonderful problem to have, because almost all of that content is just as available on the Nexus 7 as it is on the Fire. So, while we tend to prefer larger tablets that better differentiate themselves from phones, if you've been toying with the idea of getting a real Android slate but didn't want to spend big bucks for a big device, this is what you've been waiting for. This is the best Android tablet for less than $200 and the best budget 7-inch tablet on the market.The device doesn't ship until next month, but somehow you can find it already on eBay for prices as high as more than twice its retail cost.

"Teddy," of course, refers to the late Edward Kennedy, a longtime Democratic Massachusetts senator who called providing health care for all, the nation's great "unfinished business." "Today, Teddy Kennedy's vision of health care reform for all Americans survived its toughest challenge," John Walsh, chairman of the state's Democratic Party wrote in an email, summoning supporters to the event at Boston's famous public park. "He's not with us today to celebrate, but I hope he is smiling down on us."A Twitter-swarm is also taking place today with the hashtag #ThankYouTeddy.

ARIZONA: Ex-Wall Street Banker Kills Himself With Poison After Arson Verdict
As news cameras rolled, a former Wall Street banker appeared to swallow poison moments after he was convicted of burning down his Arizona mansion. Paramedics pronounced him dead minutes after he went into convulsions on the court room floor.
All eyes were on the court clerk as she read the verdict on a single count. Then the jury left the room so that Cohen and the attorneys could set the ground rules for the ensuing hearing about whether there were aggravating factors that could result in a harsher sentence for Marin. What video later revealed is that seconds after the verdict was read, Marin rubbed his cupped hands across his face with an expression of dismay. His mouth seemed to open beneath the hands and it appeared as if he swallowed something. Then he took a sports-drink bottle from a briefcase and drank from it.Investigators say they will make no conclusions until they get the toxicology report.

Investigators are set to review security video from the popular gay piano bar Duplex after a woman told police she was raped there hours after the gay pride parade passed through the Village, according to sources. The woman told authorities she was attacked by a man in the bathroom of the bar on Christopher Street and Seventh Avenue South at approximately 12:30 a.m. Monday following the annual NYC Pride March.The linked report says the woman did not report the incident to bar employees. The Duplex is next door to the historic Stonewall Inn.

Debby "You Light Up My Life" Boone's Husband Performs Gay Marriages
In early 1978 schlock-popper Debby Boone infuriated Grammy watchers when she won Best New Artist on the heels of the treacly You Light Up My Life, which had spent an insane ten weeks atop the Billboard singles chart the previous summer. Especially galling to the rockers who'd expected Foreigner to take Best New Artist was Boone's revelation that her song was actually about God and not a boy.
Boone went on to a successful career as a Christian artist, children's book author, and informercial pitchwoman. Today Boy Culture tips us to the upcoming issue of the National Enquirer, which reveals that Boone's husband has been performing gay marriages, something the paper claims her ardently anti-gay dad Pat Boone, who writes a column for World Net Daily, doesn't know about. We'll have to see if Debby Boone gets the Carrie Underwood treatment from WND editor Joseph Farah. I'm betting, she won't.

White House To Honor Carl Siciliano
The White House will honor Ali Forney Center founder and president Carl Siciliano as one of their 2012 Champions Of Change. Via press release:
At the Champions of Change Fight Against Youth Homelessness event, to be held on Thursday, July 12th, agency representatives and various White House officials will participate in a discussion with Siciliano and fellow Champions to hear about their efforts to serve homeless youth, and about policies and best practices to aid this vulnerable population. In conjunction with the White House event, Siciliano's story will also be featured on the White House website. Said Siciliano: "It is thrilling that as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Ali Forney Center, we are also being recognized by the White House for our pioneering work on behalf of homeless LGBT youth. When we opened the Ali Forney Center, the challenges we faced were daunting; there was very little awareness of the plight of homeless LGBT youth, especially on the federal level, and it was difficult to obtain support for our work. I am very grateful to President Obama for recognizing the needs of homeless LGBT youth and incorporating their care into his vision of ending youth homelessness. I am also grateful to the White House for recognizing the quality, innovation, and importance of the Ali Forney Center, which is a testament to all of the individuals who have served on the board, staff and as volunteers."Congratulations, Carl!
UPDATE: I failed to link the Ali Forney Center's donation page. In addition to cash, they can always use household items for their residences: toiletries, cleaning supplies, school supplies, new clothing items, etc.

Poland Rejects Civil Partnerships
Via press release from a local LGBT rights group:
43 years after the Stonewall riot, Polish deputies decided that same sex couples are citizens of a second class. Yesterday, on 28 June, in the Polish Sejm - the Lower House of the Parliament - deputies rejected the Civil Partnership Bill for same and different sex couples. The Commission of Legislation, which was asked to evaluate bills, outvoted it 15-3. It means that the Polish Parliament is not going to work on the Bill. Now everything is up to one person – speaker of the Sejm, Ewa Kopacz, who said in 2002 that openly gay person should not hold public office and should not be able to stand for the elections.Visit their Facebook page.

COLORADO: Eugene Delguadio Steals Wedding Photo For Anti-Gay Flyer
Eugene Delgaudio, head of Public Advocate, the SPLC-certified hate group, ripped off the wedding photo of a NYC gay couple for an anti-gay flyer sent to voters in Colorado. One of them writes on his wedding blog:
I want to share what this picture means to me. It represents my first home away from home, my beloved NYC, which at the time this image was taken (2 years ago) did not allow same sex couples to marry. It represents my longterm relationship with my best friend, my partner, and now husband – the love we share and obstacles we have overcome. It is a reminder of the happiness I felt the day he proposed to me and of the excitement I had all throughout our engagement. It represents hope and it represents love. Or at least it did… Now I see it faded and brown with a big red, blood-emulating slash across our bodies. It cuts us in half just below our hearts. How do I feel? I'm in shock and I'm angry and I'm hurt and I'm flabbergasted and I'm livid.The photo is copyrighted and the men have hired a lawyer. They warn: "This is not the end of the story."

Exodus Gives Up On "Ex-Gay" Therapy
"As the president of Exodus International and, even more than that, as a Christian leader who is out in front of people all the time, it is my responsibility to lead honestly and transparently and to share with people that, just because you become a Christian,...your struggles don't always go away. You don't get to a place where you're never going to be tempted again." - Alan Chambers, speaking at the group's annual convention.
Chambers says that those who believe in reparative therapy will no longer be "allowed to minister" with Exodus. According to Chambers, since changing your sexual orientation is not actually possible, gay people unhappy with their sexuality should settle for a lifetime for untouched lonely celibacy and solitude.

Elaine Donnelly: Still Pissed
"In the presence of President Obama, gay activists were dancing, literally dancing together as same-sex couples to the Marine Corps band. You had some of them taking pictures of themselves making an obscene gesture to the portrait of President Ronald Reagan. They are using the culture of obedience in the military to advance the LGBT agenda. The next president of the United States must put an end to these kinds of demonstrations. They certainly should not be extended to military bases around the world." - Elaine Donnelly, desperately in need of a new gig.

Minnesota's Marriage Ban Gets A Name
The Pioneer Press reports:
Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie has selected a title for the state's proposed marriage amendment. Ritchie wants the ballot measure, which will define marriage as a union between a man and a woman, to be titled: "Limiting the Status of Marriage to Opposite Sex Couples." He sent his recommendation to Attorney General Lori Swanson on June 15. State law requires the secretary of state to provide "an appropriate title" for each ballot question.Ritchie rejected the title proposed by local LGBT activists and the one demanded by the GOP, which was "Recognition of Marriage Solely Between One Man and One Woman." At the moment, I can't find what our side wanted to call it, but I do (so far) like that the official version contains the negative word "limiting." Ritchie, probably not incidentally, is a lifelong Democrat.

Rep. Adam Smith Introduces House Bill To Change Military's Definition Of "Spouse"
Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) has introduced a House bill that would change the definition of military spouses. The bill would open military benefits to the husbands and wives of married gay service members. SLDN cheers via press release:
Army Veteran and Servicemembers Legal Defense Network (SLDN) Executive Director Aubrey Sarvis today applauded the introduction of HR 6046, the Military Spouses Equal Treatment Act of 2012 (MSET) that would change the definition of "spouse" in four areas of U.S. Code related to recognition, support, and benefits for married service members and veterans. The changes - including Titles 10, 32, and 38 that are challenged in SLDN's landmark litigation, McLaughlin v. U.S., filed in October 2011 - would ensure that spouses of the same gender are eligible for key military benefits. "Our nation's senior military leaders and commanders on the ground are increasingly uncomfortable with administering two classes of recognition, support and benefits for our nation's service members - one for straight service members and a different one for their gay and lesbian peers. There cannot be two classes of service members, and this legislation addresses that effectively," said Sarvis.Read the bill here.

NYC's Other Adam Sandler
On the streets of midtown Manhattan, particularly around Times Square, one often finds men in children's television character costumes, soliciting tips from tourists in return for posing for pictures. Annoying perhaps, but harmless enough. However one week ago a cell phone video went viral when shocked Central Park tourists (and their kids) were accosted by one such Elmo who was screaming anti-Semitic slurs. The NYPD were summoned and Elmo was promptly hauled off to the nearest mental ward for evaluation.
But as the New York Times learned, this was not just another "weirdos of the city" story, as local blogs had snickered in their coverage of the video.
Mr. Sandler said he has a bachelor's degree from the University of Oregon, which the university confirmed. He later traveled to Cambodia and started a pornographic Web site called "Welcome to the Rape Camp." "I had a sex scandal," he said. An online search yielded news accounts of the site, like a 1999 article by The Associated Press that identified Mr. Sandler by his original name. The Cambodian police arrested Mr. Sandler that year and quickly deported him, according to news media accounts and Mr. Sandler. He insisted the women on the site were not harmed and were paid $20 per performance. On Tuesday, he said the notoriety from the Rape Camp case led him to change his first name to Adam, and he asked that the original name not be included in this article. "I did run a porn site in Cambodia," he said.The Times reports that immediately after his release from the mental ward, where doctors told him he is "a little paranoid," he was back at his post in Central Park, where he sometimes sleeps. I'm searching for the right handle on how this relates to universal health care, but I think there's a connection here.

Homocons Denounce SCOTUS Ruling
Log Cabin Republicans
Today's ruling by the United States Supreme Court upholding Obamacare is a license for Washington to continue its expansion into the lives of American citizens and businesses. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice Roberts wrote, "Simply put, Congress may tax and spend." "By upholding even the most intrusive provision of Obamacare, the individual mandate, the court has enabled Washington's addiction to big government and coercive taxes," said Christian Berle, Log Cabin Republicans Deputy Executive Director. "The individual mandate forced through Congress was an unprecedented expansion of federal power in blatant disregard of the will of the American people. Log Cabin looks forward to working with our Republican allies in Congress to repeal and replace Obamacare with real, market-driven reforms that will lower costs while preserving the standard of care Americans deserve.GOProud
Today, the Supreme Court has ignored the Constitution and given the federal government unfettered and unchecked power. Today is a good day for big government and a bad day for individual liberty. This decision reminds us of how important it is to elect conservatives to the House, Senate and the White House that will protect our individual liberties, because it is clear that the Supreme Court is unwilling to do so. Free market healthcare reform would expand access to domestic partner benefits and put gay people in charge of their healthcare decisions. By upholding Obamacare, the Supreme Court has upheld legislation that hurts all Americans, but especially hurts gay and lesbian families.

LGBT Groups React To SCOTUS Ruling
Human Rights Campaign
The Supreme Court's decision means millions of Americans – including many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their families – will be better served by our nation's healthcare system. The Affordable Care Act addresses a number of the barriers LGBT people face in obtaining health insurance, from financial barriers to obtaining affordable coverage to discrimination by insurance carriers and healthcare providers. While there is a great deal more that must be done to ensure that the health needs of all LGBT people are fully met throughout the healthcare system, today's decision is an important victory in the fight for healthcare equality.National Gay & Lesbian Task Force
This ruling is fair and humane, but it also reminds us of the work that remains to be done. People of color and economically impoverished people are disproportionately affected by health inequities. We have also long known that LGBT people — particularly LGBT people of color — suffer from higher rates of health disparities, and we continue to press for reform that addresses the stark realities that many of us face every day. This advocacy includes urging the Department of Health and Human Services to use its authority to make inroads in areas such as data collection and research on LGBT health disparities. We celebrate today, but also pledge to keep pressing forward.Lambda Legal
This is a victory for all Americans,but in particular, the Court's decision today will save the lives of many people living with HIV - as long as states do the right thing. The Affordable Care Act will finally allow people living with HIV to access medical advancements made years ago but that have so far remained out of reach of many. With continuing prevention education, early detection, and quality care for everyone living with HIV, we have the power to stem the HIV/AIDS epidemic. But this is not a complete victory,because today's decision allows states to opt out of the Medicaid expansion that would provide insurance coverage for many low-income people who cannot otherwise afford it. Our continuing challenge will be to make sure that states opt to expand Medicaid so that more low-income people, and particularly those with HIV, can get the health care they urgently need.National Coalition For LGBT Health Issues
The law for the first time prohibits gender-based discrimination by most health care providers – a ban that extends to discrimination based on gender identity and gender stereotypes, and thus provides critical protection for LGBT people. The law will also prohibit insurers from denying or canceling insurance because a person is transgender or has HIV or another medical condition. It will provide premium credits and expanded Medicaid eligibility to enable many individuals and families to obtain insurance for the first time. The law requires plans to cover a range of key services, and prohibits co-pays for many routine tests and other preventive care.National Center For Lesbian Rights
Today's decision will have an enormous impact on access to high quality care for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people and their families. The ACA represents the largest reform to the healthcare system in over 40 years, and the most significant effort ever undertaken to address health disparities for LGBT patients seeking care. The law makes a number of changes designed to increase access to care. These changes, such as covering preventative care and setting a new national threshold for Medicaid eligibility, make it substantially easier for low-income people and people with pre-existing conditions to access care, issues that are crucially important for the LGBT community.

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
Pattern gives instructions for 7 Christmas tree ornaments: a santa with sack, a reindeer, a snowman, an angel in flight, a bauble, a stocking and a star.
All are made from oddments of yarn.
The angel wings, halo, snowman arms and reindeer antlers are made from an i-cord. There is a tutorial showing you how to do this at the end of the pattern - and don't worry - it is said that the "i" in i - cord stands for idiot - so if you can knit, you can make an i-cord !!
I've crafted all my life. I learned to knit and sew at about the age of 4 and haven't looked back. I made my own wedding dress, and I spent many happy years as a designer/tutor for UK papercraft companies and I have written magazine projects for papercraft. knitting and sewing. Now happily retired, I spend most of my time crafting! :)

If you want to run with the big dogs in Class AAA, you'd better be ready to score a lot of points. At least that was the case on Friday, where the state's top three ranked teams each scored no fewer than 49 points.
No. 1 Peach County scored 49, No. 2 Thomson scored 49 and No. 3 Washington County scored 51. And big-scoring Buford, the No. 4 team, didn't even play. There were other whippings, too: No. 6 Carver-Columbus put up 32 and No. 8 Cartersville scored 40. The big surprise was No. 7 Dodge, which had amassed 137 in its first three games, returned from an off week and got punked 15-8 by Bleckley County.
Peach County pours it on
Peach County (4-0) was able to enjoy a laugher after last week's intense win over Warner Robins. The Trojans whipped Macon County 49-0, the sort of score that may be a trend for the state's top-ranked team until it meets Carver on Nov. 2.
The Trojans compiled 414 yards of offense and averaged 8.2 yards on 23 rushing attempts. Keyshawn Lowe carried nine times for 169 yards and scored on runs of 18, 35 and 60 yards. Greg Williams completed 10 of 13 for 230 yards and three touchdowns and also scored on a 1-yard run. Mictavius Gibson caught two passes for 79 yards and one touchdown.
A big comeback for Thomson
Thomson (4-0), coming off last week's big win over St. Pius, had its hands full with LaGrange. The Bulldogs allowed some big passing yards to LaGrange and got behind early, but came back from a 21-0 deficit. Thomson won the game 49-42 when William Bussey scored on a 19-yard run with less than five minutes remaining.
After getting behind by three scores, the Bulldogs fought back starting with an interception return by Dexter Jones, but trailed 28-7 after LaGrange got a touchdown on a fourth-and-1 run by Benny Gray. Thomson cut the lead with a 13-yard run by Chris Tutt and a 6-yard pass from Tutt to Gelyam Parker. Thomson also got a 25-yard run from Torrie Battle and a 56-yard run from Bussey.
The two clubs, both longtime state powers, had met only once, with LaGrange winning in the second round of the playoffs in 2008.
Washington County slams Laney
Washington County (5-0) put the hammer on Laney for a 51-28 win. The Golden Hawks scored on seven of their first eight possessions. Jukilo Johnson rushed 142 yards and four touchdowns to lead Waco. William Walker threw for 98 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another 67 yards. Coach Joel Ingram's team did all the damage against a Laney team that had allowed only five points per game.
McGee sparks Carver to win
Carver got ahead early and hung on to beat Tri-Cities 32-20. Torrance McGee threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to Jaquan Sanks and scored on a pair of 1-yard runs. Danny Ryles also ran for two touchdowns for the Tigers, a 18-yarder in the second period and a 4-yarder in the third period. Carver now faces the same issue as Peach: the lack of quality opposition until the two teams meet in Fort Valley. Carver's opponents over the next four games have a combined 3-13 record.
Dodge done in by Bleckley
Dodge County was looking to open the season with four straight wins for the first time since 2005. But Bleckley, which plays in Class AAA, was able to prevail 15-8 when the Royals drove 92 yards in the final quarter for the winning points. Tavon Ross threw an 8-yard pass to D'Andre Pitts for the winning score. Bleckley limited Dodge to only 241 yards of offense, with quarterback Cole Honeycutt throwing for 102 yards and rushing for 29. Bleckley County has now beaten the Indians in the last three meetings, the first time it has accomplished that feat since 1972-74.

Somebody tell Thompson that Oct 26 if we get them down by 21 they will not come back….Last year win was us making the move from a run base team to a spread one and now we can pass with the best of them..Our qb haven't threw a int all year…I think us beating them 3 out of 4 yrs straight should give us the edge at the house of pain

The Thomson interception was by Torrie Battle. Not sure who Dexter Jones is, but he doesn't play for Thomson. And son of waco, Thomson changed their offense AND defense last year, and still won at the HOP. It should be a great game.

I don't buy the whole traveling makes you tired deal because what do you do when you travel? You SLEEP. When you get to the visiting teams' city, the juices start flowing, and by the time you hit the stadium, you're ready to punch your own coach in the mouth. I have never seen the correlation..but that's my opinion.

I just watched the game and y'all #24 is a beast at RB but y'all sill a run based offense and when y'all tried to pass they was mostly 50/50 balls…. none real accurate and put in tight spots…Go to the Augusta chronicle website and see how our qb put the pass in a tight spot and he doesn't have to roll out to see the whole field like La grange, st pius x and burke qb did….It could just me being overly excited for waco finally having a run/pass game that can light up a score board but i think this is our year…

"I have no confidence in what so ever in the school board. I think that; I'm not comfortable with the way money has been spent. I think that I really have no delusions that I think charter schools can fit the bill," says Broussard Mayor Charles Langlinais.
Mayor Langlinais and Youngsville Mayor Wilson Viator testified together. Supporting charter schools; more importantly for south Lafayette Parish.
"The board do the right thing and let the charter schools move forward in Lafayette Parish," says Viator.
State Representative Patricia Haynes Smith doesn't support the charter plan. "I don't believe you are doing your due diligence in ensuring these charters are coming into our state or our districts and are going to do the best for the children that they're going to be taking into their schools," adds Smith.
Rodolfo Espinoza is the president of the Lafayette Parish Association of Educators. Espinoza questioned what charters have to offer. "This decision will do nothing but hurt the choices that we already offer; in disguise of these charters who pretend to offer choices we already offer." Lafayette Parish Schools is in the district of BESE member Holly Boffy.
"These charter applicants will be held to those laws by the board who would be their authorizer. They're going to have to serve the population of kids that the local public school system serves," says Boffy.
The BESE Committee's recommendation is just that. A recommendation that will move to the full board for a final vote Wednesday.
