Cardinal Renato Martino, the papal aide who angered Israel and Jews by comparing Gaza to a "big concentration camp" is no novice at being outspoken or controversial. The southern Italian cardinal speaks his mind, loves to talk and sometimes has had to pay the price. Martino, head of the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace (effectively its justice minister), has a laundry list of people and governments with whom he has clashed. But that hasn't stopped him. (Photo: Cardinal Martino at the Vatican, 12 April 2005/Tony Gentile)
Perhaps his most famous remark came in December, 2003 when, shortly after U.S. troops captured former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Martino told a news conference at the Vatican that U.S. military were wrong to show video footage of Saddam. "I felt pity to see this man destroyed, (the military) looking at his teeth as if he were a cow. They could have spared us these pictures," he said at the time.
The "treated like a cow" remark was heard around the world and, needless to say, was not very appreciated in the White House. The Vatican had opposed the U.S.-invasion of Iraq in March of that year. In fact, a certain chill developed between Martino and then U.S. ambassador to the Vatican Jim Nicholson, a Vietnam veteran who later went on to become Bush's Secretary for Veteran Affairs.
While that is the Martino quip everyone remembers, there has been no lack of others.
In 2005, ahead of a meeting of the Group of Eight rich nations summit in Scotland, he pointedly said the United States had to "open its eyes" about the problems of Africa. He angered anti-immigration parties in Italy by backing a proposal to allow Muslim pupils in Italy to study the Koran in state schools. He angered U.S. conservatives, including well-known television commentators, when he said Washington's plan to build a fence on the U.S.-Mexican border was part of an "inhuman programme."

Money Inventories In Search Equilibrium
AbstractThe paper relaxes the one unit storage capacity imposed in the basic search-theoretic model of fiat money with indivisible real commodities and indivisible money. Agents can accumulate as much money as they want. It characterizes the stationary distributions of money and shows that for reasonable parameter values (e.g. production cost, discounting, degree of specialization) a monetary equilibrium exists. There are multiple stationary distributions of a given amount of money, which differ in their welfare levels. Thus, a redistribution of money affects real economic variables in this model. The monetary equilibrium reveals two essential features of money. First, the marginal expected utility of money decreases. Second, there exists an endogenous upper bound on the money holdings: agents willingly produce and sell for money up to this bound and refuse to do so if their money holdings exceed this bound.

As far as I remember, I'm a bit introvert but very open and conscientious, not too much agreeable and a little neurotic. In a word I'm an ordinary man. Thank you for this test, in my opinion the result is true.
But what about the way other ordinary people consider you? It might be quite different. I used to hear some astonishing, disturbing and incredible opinion about myself, either good or bad. Of course I preferred the good ones and had a trend to believe them. In my country, judging the other is something like a "national sport" :-) JM

hello, I'm mercurio, from italy. I believe that big five personality traits teory could be quite reductive, in general, but very useful in case of trying to describe someone's architecture of own personality. Everybody are consciuos, but not ever, or often neurotic, etc. It's important to know, however, that's possible there could be an amount on each of this traits in everyone of us. A quite exact amount, countable, with statistic proper tests.
It could be very useful keeping in mind that one can usually react to similar urges in a turbulent way rather than smooth, or quiet .... we can control better our behaviour ....
E.g. I think I'm often not so consciuos, risk attracted, easily involved in challenges, a bit neurotic.... better for me knowing it before .....

I am always open to discuss new ideas and love to learn for improvements and career developments. I am conscientious and organized at work. Though, sometimes I try to be little unorganized in my life in general but just can't.
At times, I get impressed by knowledgeable gentle people, more if they are females.
I love to travel around the world and to meet different nationalities.
I hate and repent on filthy politics, hypocrisy, divide & rule policies. I seriously feel bad for such eyewash activities being adapted in any part of the world on the name of religions and terrorism.

Thanks for this charming program. As for myself, I think that I'm and very shy, I get red when people speak to me about marriage or something similar, so I've tried but in vain to overcome my shyness. I like helping people without thinking of reward; it's a real source of satisfaction. I also like discovering new things and new technologies. I'm rather calm and polite person and nothing makes me mad like injustice towards vulnerable people.

I'm a little bit shy. When I meet new people I don't talk a lot. Mostly I'm silient. I feel confident only with my friends. And another negative trait of my personelity is that I get crazy easily. I hate it when someone criticise me or joke about me. It drives me crazy.

I believe human nature is quite contradictory that is why sometimes we do things we have never expected from ourselves. Yesterday I attended a lecture on consiousness and various ways of knowing. The lecturer has been studying neuronic systems in the human brain and has come to the conclusion that when we grow up we loose our integrity and our mind becomes multifacet (having multiple IDs, or selves). The professor advised us to do yoga in order to return to the wholeness. I didn't expect such an end of the lecture))

Learning English is very hard and challinging, but I guess using this website, full of great sources that I've beeing looking for, will help me to improve my English. I am hard working and enthusiastic about the work I am doing now. Although I am not out-going person, and I feel shy when I encounter person I don't know well, I really like to have one-on-one conversation rather than group talk because, in that way, I can have close connection with that person and can be a close friend. I also like to make jokes and like to see the smiles on people's face.

Deeplocal streams messages across a skyscraper at the World Cup, expanding and hiringBeyond the soccer itself, one of the most dramatic displays during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa was the LEDs that streamed across Johannesburg's tallest building in 16 different languages, part of Nike's "Write the Future" campaign.
Meanwhile, in Leicester Square, London, and Los Angeles, fans trash talked between continents by inputting taunting messages on an electronic soccer ball as part of the launch of EA's new video game, "2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa."
Deeplocal in East Liberty did it all, developing the software system, Handlr, which managed the messages for the Nike campaign and assisted an ad agency in Oregon on the soccer ball. It's just a sampling of the recent projects that have been keeping the interactive media company busy on a global scale. Watch it in action!
"When you think about it, not many people did ad campaigns for the World Cup," reflects Tim White, vice president of sales. "(Write the Future) created quite a presence for Nike, exceeding their expectations."
From heartfelt messages from cancer survivors printed by Chalkbot--which recently won just about every award in the Advertising industry including recognition at Cannes--to highly-charged jabs from soccer fans, Deeplocal is going where few advertising companies have gone before, way outside of the box. Even Adam Samberg weighed in on the ball with the message, "Spank the Yanks."
"It's not just about being online in the digital world," White says. "We bring it into your daily life, give it more significance."
It's all good news for Deeplocal, which recently expanded its team, hiring a senior engineer and web designer, and adding space on the fourth floor of the Liberty Bank Building. "Pittsburgh is the ideal location to access talent to launch our projects," says White. "We are very committed to Pittsburgh."

The U.S.Postal Services' announcement that the delivery of Saturday mail will be phased out by August raises questions from many.
Nashville's News 2's Facebook friend Cheryl Parker asked whether people who use mail-order pharmacies will be able to get their medications.
USPS spokesman David Walton told Nashville's News 2 by phone that the service is working with pharmaceutical companies to ensure medications arrive on time.
Walton added that since many of those prescriptions come in packages or by Express or Priority Mail, those will still be delivered on Saturdays.
Nashville News 2 viewer Laura Palmer Clark wanted to know whether post offices would still be open on Saturdays.
Officials said post offices that are currently open on Saturdadys will continue to be open when the new schedule goes into effect in August.
Facebook friend Billy Taylor wanted to know what took Congress so long.
According to Walton, Congress had nothing to do with the decision.
"The postal service can make changes to maintain financial stability," Walton explained.
The move comes a little over a year after the postal service began looking for ways to save money.
Their first move was to close small post offices. One post office in Middle Tennessee was closed last year.
Facebook friend Kimberly Messer wanted to know how many people will lose their jobs after the change.
Walton said there are no numbers, but the postal service is working with labor associations to minimize the impact.
Following Wednesday's announcement, greeting card companies have already complained about the new schedule.
Also anyone who gets magazines or newspapers delivered by mail may have to wait until Monday, while Netflix subscribers who get their weekend movies on Saturday will either get them a day early or two days late.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - State officials say New York hunters killed 1,358 black bears during the 2013 hunting seasons, the second-highest number on record.
Figures released by the Department of Environmental Conservation on Monday show hunters killed a record 636 bears from the Southeastern hunting area and a near record 342 from the Central-Western area.
The agency says the high numbers reflect a growing bear population and an abundance of acorns and other nuts last fall.
DEC released a draft bear management plan for public comment in January. It proposed several changes, including expanding the area open to bear hunting to encompass all of upstate New York. It also establishes a supplemental firearms season in September in the Catskills and lower Hudson Valley.
DEC anticipates publishing a final version of the plan this spring.

By lunchtime we'll start to see a few showers pop up...with better chances of rain as the afternoon goes on.
Later today look for a few more clouds in the mix. Widespread showers move in later today and continue overnight. Daytime highs will be mild in the low 60s.
Look for our wetter weather pattern to continue through the weekend

The cousin of Aaron Hernandez was released from jail on Thursday on $15,000 cash bail.
Tanya Singleton is facing charges of criminal contempt and conspiracy after authorities say she helped Hernandez's alleged accomplice Ernest Wallace flee to Florida after the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd.
Singleton also refused to testify before a grand jury. On Thursday the judge agreed to Singleton's release under the conditions that she wear a GPS monitoring device, report for probation twice a week, and reside in Bristol County, Mass.
Prosecutors say Wallace helped Aaron Hernandez after he allegedly murdered Lloyd at an industrial park near the former Patriot player's North Attleboro home.

HOWELL (WKZO) -- U.S. Representative Mike Rogers of Howell has decided not seek the U.S. Senate post being vacated by Senator Carl Levin. Rogers was seen as a top Republican candidate but has decided to continue his role in the U.S. House which includes Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
Rogers said he was "truly humbled by the encouragement" he received. He was first elected to the U.S. House in 2000 and has served as a state senator, and was an agent with the FBI.
Levin announced earlier this year he would not seek another term in the Senate.

Cut your own Charlie Brown Christmas tree at Lyonia Preserve

Residents can select their favorite sand pines from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15, and Sunday, Dec. 16. Bring a saw and park along the road near the back entrance to Deltona Lakes Elementary School.
While they are not traditional Christmas trees, sand pines have been popular among Floridians for decades.
These native trees have been likened to Charlie Brown Christmas trees because they're sparse and sometimes lopsided. Two or three can be tied together to make a fuller tree, and many people decorate them and leave them outside for wildlife. Most of the trees are 4 to 5 feet tall, but they can grow up to 20 feet.
Lyonia Preserve is adjacent to the Deltona Regional Library at 2150 Eustace Ave. The preserve is a 360-acre scrub habitat that has three nature trails.

This was used for an 8th grade end of year celebration. The students loved them, it was a hit. My one complaint is that some did not light up all the way and so were not as bright. But overall, they were festive and lasted through the entire event into the next day. I would purchase this item again.

"Morality" is an abused term/concept. Can you suggest a solid definition?
We use the term "morality" so liberally across different conversations. Usually metaphorically without getting specific. It bothers me to no end when excellent speakers use the term "morality" loosely as if it necessarily implies specific behaviors like "sharing = moral" and "murder = immoral." To me, morality always seems best defined as sound reasoning and conclusion forming. Of course, as opposed to unsound reasoning.
It seems really clear that morality represents only that basic intention in any living creature to do something right as opposed to doing it erroneously. That is, it seems morality comes down to the intent of doing what seems to make the most sense to the best of the abilities of the individual or group of individuals.
As a simple anecdotal example, consider indulging a vice and stealing a purse from a store and then getting caught. While it may have seemed like a rational thing to do under the circumstances of expecting to get away with it, upon getting caught it would become apparent that the decision was not well calculated and certainly most harmful to the one person you were intending to take care of most, yourself. Your failure to achieve your own aim of self-enhancement is what dictates your actions as immoral, even from your own perspective.
Of course, there are a number of vices one might indulge that have negative consequences not only for the self but perhaps for society at large. Any action a ruler might take which brings about the unrest and revolt of her people, would be highly suspicious as being immoral since a ruler's decisions ought to be made to enhance their rule rather than degrade it.
Moral actions in all cases, seem to be those which the individual (and perhaps other individuals) can observe as clearly having the intended effect both in foresight as well as in hindsight. All other actions seem to neatly fit the description of immoral.
I'm interested in hearing other holistic, absolute definitions of the term "morality"

Nov 5 2011: Paul Zak is clearly using the term "morality" to mean empathy, not a thought but a feeling. I too feel uncomfortable with the term morality being thrown out there so freely as it has the right or wrong, black and white connotations. Either for the sake of brevity or maybe because of his particular background that's the word he's using, and hey, it's his talk. I do believe we all have a personal sense of what's fair, you could call that a "moral" sense if you want. Whatever it is, it seems clear you cannot separate the rational from the emotional when it comes to making "moral" decisions, they are interconnected. That's where oxytocin seems to come into play.
Nov 5 2011: Paul Zak could be using using the term "morality" to mean empathy but that is not clear at all.
What is clearer is that he seems to be associating trust and empathy with feeling good and twisting that into implying that feeling good brings about trust and moral behaviour. He then tenuously links that to a specific chemical, oxytocin.
Being able to trust someone is reassuring but the trust needs to be deserved. Better to drown your sorrows, moderately of course, than take oxytocin in order to trust a con man.
Whether empathy makes someone feel good depends on the situation. Empathising with someone enduring great chronic anguish is not a pleasant experience. Rationalising feeling good about behaving morally in such a situation takes more than the superficial approach of Zak.
"That's where oxytocin seems to come into play." Only if you trust Zak. I trust Colin Erskine is asking his question because there is reason to not trust Zak.
Nov 6 2011: Right, empathy is just one of the feelings he seems to associate with behaving "morally".
I think you should take empathy for what it is, not a comforting feeling necessarily.
It seems to me you are twisting a bit Paul Zack's talk, what he seemed to be saying is, look we've observed trust is more prevalent in the presence of higher levels oxytocin, that's it. Nowhere is he pushing we should all be pumping oxytocin pills in order to have a better world where everything is trust and good feelings, in his talk he actually hints caution against that conclusion.

There is an important point that Verizon does not explain about using regular computer hard drives as eSata drives with DVRs. There are special drives for DVRs that have different firmware from normal computer hard drives. The main difference is the special DVR drives guarantee to handle X simultaneous streams without interruption whereas the normal computer hard drives do not guarantee any uninterrupted streams. The ones Verizon tested all insure 2 uninterrupted streams. IIRC the drive models have something like AVR as part of them, which is different than the similar computer hard drives. I believe the Western Digital website had a decent explanation of why these drives are special.
@rickpoole that's very helpful. I didn't know that and wish Verizon would just tell us that instead of assuming that their customers aren't intelligent enough to handle the information.
For the record, after seven months my eSATA drive that was crashing almost daily at first is now mostly stable. I still get occasional crashes, but it's less than once a month and I am living with that. Not sure why it stabilized like that.
Thanks for the tip rickpoole, you got me searching and:
Western Digital drives with model numbers beginning AV-GP are "Ideal for PVRs, DVRs, set-top boxes (STBs), and surveillance video recording" and are "Optimized for smooth, continuous digital video playback of up to twelve simultaneous HD streams." http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=15
Seagate has a new Pipeline series designed specifically for HD video storage and playback. Those model numbers seem to all end in CS. http://www.seagate.com/internal-hard-drives/consum
I'm going with the enclosure mentioned by ILikeFIOS:
$39 - Rosewill METAS Aluminum / Plastic 3.5" USB3.0 & eSATA External Enclosure
And the Western Digital AV-GP WD20EURS 2TB since it's less expensive than the Seagate 2TB and the FIOS dvr doesn't need the extra streams anyway.
Just be sure any external drive you add is rated 24/7 AV. Do not use a data drive. The WD family of drives with this spec is: WD AV-GP. I went with a WD20EURS drive (2TB) and it is working fine I initially tried using a WD20EARS green drive and it DIDN'T..
Just be sure the drive is rated 24/7 and is for AV use and you should be ok. AV drives do NO error correction and that is what you want for streaming video.. I went with a WD20EURS and it works fine.

DEARBORN (WKZO) -- Ford Motor Company and Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson are teaming up for a new safe driving campaign aimed at preventing teen crashes.
According to figures from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, car crashes are the leading cause of death in the U.S. for those between 14 and 18-years-old. Johnson and Ford officials unveiled the Parent's Supervised Driving Program Tuesday in Dearborn.
There is a mobile app, website resources and printed materials to help parents coach their teens to be better drivers.

September 23, 2014
Remember the February 3rd blog about all the different variables we have to take into consideration for this storm? Well, we were affected by two of them. That's why coastal storms are so hard to forecast.
First off, the main dry slot (there were several smaller ones) of the storm moved right over the central and southern Valley overnight, when our heaviest snowfall accumulation was expected. In Harrisonburg, we did average about 1" per hour snowfall rates from 11pm to 5am, but had the dry slot been further east over the Blue Ridge, many areas would have an additional 6"- 8" on the ground right now. The northern Valley seemed to escape much of the dry slot, with readings of 17"- 20" in Frederick County, VA, while Rockingham is sitting between 13"-14" at the 5am hour.
Second, we saw mixed precipitation in Augusta County. I mentioned in the February 3rd blog that this storm had much more warm air available than the one in December, and it showed. Many areas, especially in southern Augusta County reported snow mixing with or completely changing over to sleet. This will keep snowfall totals much lower in the southern Valley. Models handled the mixed precipitation poorly in this case, as well as the multiple dry slots.
The best dynamics of the storm seem to be east of the Blue Ridge this morning. Reports from the DC Metro Area and Baltimore include 3" per hour snowfall rates, frequent lightning, and thunder-snow.
There's another batch still to come to through the Valley this morning - I'll have another update early this afternoon.

During holidays, sometimes giving is the best gift
The deadline passed earlier this week for the annual giving tree program sponsored by the Stafholt Good Samaritan Home, but there are still plenty of local Blaine charities accepting support to help make this a joyous holiday season for everyone.
• The Blaine Food Bank at 500 C Street can take just about any kind of unopened food and also accepts cash to buy products that are not covered by government programs such as paper products and pet food. They also have a need for baby formula.
The Blaine food bank is open Tuesday and Friday 9 a.m. to noon and Wednesday evenings from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Food and in kind donations can also be dropped off when the food bank itself is closed but workers are there Monday and Thursday morning from about 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. For more information call 332-6350.
•The Peace Arch Christian Ministerial Association conducts several programs, among them the Community Assistance Program that screens and provides support to people who are in need of short-term help, including transients. The Thanksgiving Basket Program and the Christmas Dinner program provide the basic ingredients for a turkey dinner to local families in need that are screened by the Family Service Center. Both involve getting several thousand dollars worth of food collected and distributed into individual boxes to feed hundreds of people and can be supported any time of year.
• St. Martin's Clothing Bank which is right next to the Food Bank accepts clean clothes on Wednesday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon and is open then to get clean serviceable clothes as well.
Two other programs are a utilities option box that Blaine residents can check on their utility bills and Mother Hubbard's Cupboard that provides household goods to people when they get burned out or are otherwise in need of help.
The funds generated by checking the box on your utility bill go into an account that accumulates at city hall.
The Community Assistance Program issues the vouchers for power for deserving local people, or can also write checks to those who live outside Blaine's power grid, roughly the city limits, such as people in Birch Bay.
All of the programs sponsored by the ministerial association can be supported with a check mailed to them at P.O. Box 1067, Blaine.
Individuals who wish to support a specific program, should make a note on their check.
