In Dufferin Islands, also known as The Great Canadian Outdoors, visitors will be awed by displays of Canadian wildlife – both modern and prehistoric – that include moose and buffalo, howling wolves, charging rams, bears, beavers, whales, deer, and dinosaurs that roamed the land millions of years ago.

RFID policy panel raises privacy concerns
Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology has many current and future benefits, but U.S. policymakers need to be aware of potential privacy and security problems of the rapidly evolving technology, a privacy advocate and a security expert said Wednesday.
A parade of RFID vendors and users championed the potential of the technology at a U.S. Department of Commerce workshop on RFID and its policy implications, but Paula Bruening, staff counsel at advocacy group the Center for Democracy and Technology, warned that RFID is one example of a growing trend toward businesses collecting and using their customers' personal data.

An illustrated lecture by anthropologist Nancy I. Cooper. Photo of offering at ruwatan ritual.
Thursday, November 04, 20043:00 PM - 4:30 PM10383 Bunche HallUCLA CampusLos Angeles, CA 90095
In the last few decades, the Javanese preventive 'exorcism', ruwatan, has changed from a semi-private family ritual to a mass-advertised public event. It is now accessible to a broader range of individuals, including Chinese-Indonesians and those who could not previously afford to hire a ritual practitioner, much less the musicians and gamelan ensemble that often accompany the ritual. In a ruwatan massal (mass exorcism) all these expenses can be pooled and paid for with the combined minimal fees of dozens of participants who sign up through newspaper ads. Although sometimes said to symbolize 'time', 'Kala,' an indigenous appropriation of a Hindu demon, appears timeless in view of unprecedented exposure in contemporary times. The presentation will include slides and the speaker's ethnographic observations of mass ruwatan(s) in 1990 and 1996 in Yogyakarta.
Nancy I. Cooper, a social-cultural anthropologist, is teaching "Introduction to Southeast Asian Studies" in Fall quarter 2004. Her research interests focus on Indonesia, beginning with doctoral fieldwork in central Java. Upon graduation from the University of Hawai`i in 1994, she joined the Southeast Asian Studies Programme at the National University of Singapore, where she taught for five years.
Dr. Cooper's published work includes, "Tohari's Trilogy: Passages of Power and Time in Java" (2004), an exploration of changing attitudes toward gender and performance through Ahmad Tohari's fictional account of a rural hamlet set in the politically turbulent 1960s in Indonesia. Other examples are "Singing and Silences: Transformations of Power through Javanese Seduction Scenarios" (2000) and "In the Wake of Flor and Sarah: Analyzing the Mega-Dramas of Transnational Dilemmas," (1997). The latter essay deals with the ongoing human rights concerns involving women from countries such as the Philippines and Indonesia who cross borders to work in the households of Singaporeans.
Dr. Cooper's current research includes the transformation of Javanese family rituals into public events advertized in mass media, and the rise of the controversial 'campur sari' pop genre mixing traditional gamelan music with kroncong, an Indonesian pop genre using Western scales and instrumentation. Dr. Cooper is also working on a book featuring the complementary aspects of Javanese gender relations with the aim of advancing existing gender theories. She has taught at UC Santa Cruz and UC Santa Barbara and has been active as a singer with Javanese gamelan ensembles in the United States, including performances at the University of Hawai`i, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside, California Institute of the Arts, and San Diego State University.

After years of being snubbed, Brian Westbrook has finally made is to Honolulu. Westbrook leads the NFL in total yards from scrimmage(1,896), and leads all RBs in yards per touch(5.6). Brian is having a career year reaching the end zone 12 times, and is now getting the league wide respect he deserves.
Shawn Andrews made it as a reserve Guard for his second Pro Bowl.
Trent Cole was snubbed. His 12.5 sacks apparently are not enough to be recognized. The three guys who made it over him are pretty good. Patrick Kerney, Aaron Kampman, and Osi Umenyiora. Cole can probably thank team mate Winston Justice for being a turn style against Osi, as the main reason he did not make it.
Brian Dawkins, and Donovan McNabb did not make it either(neither deserved to go).

(Source: glimpseoffeeling, via heyfattyfoundfashion)
the society's idea of beauty.
I just got home from a wonderful trip to Vegas with a group of gorgeous, fun ladies. Having said that it was crazy to watch how so many guys were falling left and right for one of the girls in our group, everywhere we went they kept paying her compliments about how gorgeous and stunning she is. You maybe reading this thinking that doesn't sound too crazy, well the part that kept my mind churning was the fact that I know that this beautiful, sweet, woman in front of me has had a lot of plastic surgery done to her face and she isn't finished changing her body. The reason I thought about this and keep thinking about it, is the fact that men were falling all over an "idea" of beauty. She felt unperfect and ugly, so she did something about it and men, okay shoot even woman were chasing after this ideal beauty, which is not natural, but rather purchased.
Also on the ride home us ladies found ourselves in deep conversation about our home lives growing up. They from appearance are all thin, long haired, tan, goddesses, which during the duration of the weekend was sometimes hard to be around. I felt like I was constantly looking at a picture of the complete opposite of what I am, but after talking with them and learning about how body image conscious their parents were with them their who lives, they never had a chance to be anything else. Not that they would want to be chubby or anything like that, but these ladies live to workout everyday of their lives. I wont share the stories that were talked about in the car, because although I mentioned our friend having plastic surgery she was very open about that, but the girls pasts are not my stories to tell.
This society has put too much emphasis on weight, height, being tan, perfect teeth, big boobs, and the list goes on. While inebriated in Vegas I looked around while in a night club were all the girls were underwear and dance around, they are models hired to bring sex to the club, I couldn't help looking at all of them and wondering what their thoughts were while working this job and then I had the most empowering thought I've ever had. Who cares what size I am, what in the end does it truly matter? It doesn't make me a better person, help my confidence, or make me better at my job. I mean look at all these gorgeous ladies I was with, they had, "everything" society tells you that you should have and still it wasn't enough.

Body posture for left-handed students:
1. Left-handed writers should follow the same instructions as those given to right-handed writers, with a few exceptions.
2. Left-handed students can develop some bad body position habits. Be sure that they sit up straight, that their body is not twisted and that both feet are placed on the floor and both arms on the table.
Paper position for left-handed students:
3. Coaching lefties to properly position the paper allows them to produce efficient movements of left arm and wrist, and also prevents discomfort.
4. Students should place their writing paper in front of their left shoulder, holding it in place with their right hand. Some students need to move the paper further over and this is also acceptable as long as it does not adversely affect their posture.
5. Students should slant the paper about 45 degrees to the right (clockwise). This is a greater angle than that for right-handed use. This will help to produce better down stroke movements.
Pencil position for left-handed students:
6. The pencil should be held (not squeezed) with the first two fingers and thumb, with the pencil resting near the big knuckle. The pencil should be pointed towards the left elbow. 7. Left-handed writers will find it easier to keep the writing tip slightly further from the finger hold than right-handed writers, about an inch and a half from the finger hold. Left-handed writers should not hook their wrists or have their elbow too close to their body. This posture will cause fatigue (see picture 1).
8. There is an alternative pencil hold which is often favored by left-handed writers with long fingers. In this hold, the pencil rests between the second and the third finger.
I also would recommend Fonts 4 Teachers for students to practice handwriting. They usually improve after a few hours of practice.

Don't criticize him for his interview so much. Not everyone is an outgoing media personality. I'd for one would be super awkward.
Also, interesting that he has to work in retail.
|Wondering in the West
I enjoyed it and thought it was well-produced. Ryan was honest about himself and the sport of running.
Exactly. Seems like a nice enough guy, but came across as really disenchanted with running.
|made me sad
its depressing.
|S. Canaday
Seems like a very accurate portrayal of how things are... I was surprised to see someone with his track speed and marathon range still working retail in the shoe store. His Brooks contract must not be enough
That video is depressing. Not motivating at all as we see a guy who seems to hate the lifestyle and the sacrifices he makes to run.
Pro runners need to take note of guys like Josh Cox, who is 2 minutes slower than Vail, but can make a living at the sport because of the way they promote/interact/carry themselves.
Nice video. Yes, a bit melancholy.
Training with a group of similar runners would help him (if it were feasible).
- rovatti
The video captured the reality of being a 2.11 marathoner - toil and solitude - yet providing simple rewards of a personal nature.
|movie shaker
I agree it was a great video, and I also agree that the dude doesn't seem that thrilled.
Maybe he's just a "boring" person (hey, me too!). I hope he's happy with what he's doing, though this video doesn't really make it seem that way.
I like the honest, low key perspective.
Only the very top and the near-the-top with excellent self-marketing skills make a decent living in this sport. Ryan's just stating the reality of our sport. I think it speaks volumes about the character and resolve which I can only imagine it takes to live the runner lifestyle year after year after year.
It would be nice if more distance runners had the same riches and notoriety lavished on our football, basketball, and baseball players. In truth these professionals had to work just as hard to make it to the big stage, if not harder. With all that money to be made every guy who did make it did so by beating out thousands of would be pros. You figure the typical draftee has been playing in their sport over a decade already. Before making it to the college ranks, before making varsity, most were shuttled around all week long to select and travel teams along with every other parent who swore their kid is the next Lebron James, Peyton Manning, Alex Rodriguez or Tiger Woods. But once those pros do make it, they live like rock stars where as the 'pro' runner has to work even harder.
Lets be honest. Money has always been a big part of our professional sports. But there's too much money at stake now. Playoff season's run almost as long as the regular season. NBA officiating is a joke. Lock-outs. Practically zero drug testing. Rules changes to protect high worth players and keep the viewers glued to the set. Its all about profits and entertainment value. Athletic competition is secondary.
The anonymity which most pro runners live under is both a curse and a blessing. I'm sure there are days when Ryan questions his sanity, working in a running store to make a living despite being one of the best in the country at his sport. But he is afforded the luxury of knowing what fans he does have admire him for the man he is and the effort he puts forth, not for his money or fame.
The documentary was boring and Ryan seems unenthusiastic and miserable.
You impressionable pansies.
It appears the outdoor scenes were filmed in the early evening and on cloudy, rainy days. The music in the video is mellow and not uplifting. I'm guessing Ryan answers questions that he was asked, not his fault if they aren't the most interesting questions.
With different editing, music and weather Ryan Vail is the most interesting man in the world.
I still enjoyed the video and thought it was well-done.
|snooze factory
you're right. he doesn't seem like someone i would ever want to be around. were they trying to discourage people from becoming pro runners with this video? but hey, at least he'll be able to say he's run a solid marathon when he's retired...good for him. at least he was able to compete with the world's ..er...best marathoners, Zzzzzzzzzzzz
I thought his demeanor was honest. He said he's a guy in a humble sport just focused on getting through his next workout and trying to keep his career going...and I could feel that in his delivery. He's not a flashy guy and I'm glad that he didn't try to convince me that he was.
The film maker needs to hire a camera operator though. The still shots need to be still and you shouldn't correct the zoom during the dialogue.
|anonymous letsrunner
This. I thought the documentary was near perfect for how it portrayed professional running for all but the super elite.
As someone who actually knows the guy (or knew him anyway), this is just how he is. He's not a center-of-attention type of guy, and his form has always been the way it is. He's content to work his arse off (and he DOES work tremendously hard) purely for the sake of the love of running and the desire to improve. That doesn't make him a bad person or anything. He's a pretty nice and normal guy. No need to bash someone who's working hard at doing what they love.
this is way better than the snoozefest you've posted. check it!
Awesome video, I wish him the best of luck!
|aloha warrior
What running store is that? He looks completely bored. He looks like he'd rather be anywhere else than that store. Whenever I go into a running shop the elite/fast guys generally are bored, dislike helping newcomers or cop an attitude. That's just been my experience.
I'm in the minority that really liked it. "Boring" never occurred to me as I was watching it. He just strikes me as a humble guy grinding out the miles, under the radar, not seeking attention, just trying to see where it takes him. If I was in my 20s, I'd find it an appealing lifestyle (but then I'm a pretty boring guy). Props to him for getting the most out of his ability and preventing "what ifs" down the road.
Loved it! Would watch more and more of these!

Wishful lesbian thinking: TV and movie daydreams
You know when you're having
one of those WLT days? No, not a craving for a wombat, lettuce and tomato
sandwich — 'cause, ewww. No, I mean a Wishful Lesbian Thinking day. Well,
I had one of those the other day when I read the plot description for
the new film The Private Lives of Pippa Lee. Robin
Wright Penn, Winona Ryder and Julianne Moore have
signed on to star in the new drama which, according to Variety, is about Pippa, "a dutiful wife
whose husband falls for a younger woman, freeing her to explore her
buried sensuality and leading to a very quiet nervous breakdown."
Robin plays Pippa, Winona plays the younger woman, and Julianne plays
a place Pippa explores her buried sexuality … hopefully. See, ain't
WLT delicious?
Now, I'm not sure if this case of WLT will pan out. My gay Spidey sense
says yes, especially after reading this
plot description.
But even without a payoff, this is the kind of thinking that has launched
a million shippers sites. There are the gold standards (Xena and Gabrielle),
the wishful turned wish fulfilled (Willow and Tara) and the just plain
awesome (Daria and Jane).
So with that, I thought I'd share a few more
of my most recent WLT daydreams, culled from current TV and film.
Bionic Woman:
Duh. The show has been barely watchable without Katee Sackhoff
bringing her cool chemistry to the party. Time out is over: Bring back
Sarah Corvus now.
Bones: Forget Brennan and Booth. How about Temperance
and Angela? All those late nights spent hunched over skeletal remains
can get romantic. Look, I said it was wishful.
Ugly Betty: Wilhelmina and Amanda? That is absolutely
the bitchiest, cattiest, possibly unholiest union I can think of. Simply
Harry Potter: Don't get me started on the crazy slash
fan fic out there. But from a purely odd-couple contrarian point of view,

Here is a Free Calculator that will instantly show you how much a cup of coffee really costs – over time.
Did you know that a cup of coffee each day can cost you over $93,000?
As we start a New Year we usually do so with a commitment to make some positive changes in our lives and saving more money is often on the list.
You can use the calculator as 'motivation' to start saving small, because you will see that a small change can make a massive difference to your future financial security.
In the calculator (spreadsheet) below, we have shown the cost of each small item and expanded it over several time frames. There is the assumption that you will invest this 'loose' change instead of buying all the items.
The last column 'Cost Over Years Projected' can be adjusted to suit your selected time-frame.
How to operate the Calculator
- Only Enter information into the GREY sections
- You can alter each Item, Unit Cost and Units Per Week
- To adjust the Years Projected, (your time frame) and the Earning Rate (what you might expect to earn if it was invested), you enter the new information at B20 and B21 (also in grey)
- As you enter the new information the calculator will automatically adjust the totals
- If you refresh the page in your browser, the calculator will re-set to the default details.
Points To Note
What surprises people is the massive amount of money saved in the later years – This is a result of 'Compound Interest'. Investing over time acts like a snowball, it starts small but as you keep at it, it accelerates. You can read more about compound interest at the popular post:
Your savings results can be greater than what is shown here – To buy these items you need to use after tax money. If you invested the money required to buy the items before being fully taxed, say in a retirement plan, the savings benefit would be greater.
The effect of inflation has not been taken into account.

Pandorum is a German-United States 2009 post-apocalyptic science fiction film, with elements of locked room mystery, horror, and survival adventure. The film was directed by Christian Alvart and produced by Robert Kulzer, Jeremy Bolt and Paul W.S. Anderson. Travis Milloy wrote the screenplay from a story by Milloy and Alvart. It stars Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster. Filming began in Berlin in August 2008. Pandorum was released on September 25, 2009 in the United States,[3] and on October 2, 2009 in the UK.
The film's title is a nickname of a fictional psychosis called "Orbital Dysfunctional Syndrome" (ODS for short) caused by deep space and triggered by emotional stress leading to severe paranoia and delirium. The film received mixed to negative reviews.
In 2174, the human population has grown to the point of exceeding the carry capacity of Earth, causing humanity to build a sleeper ship/interstellar ark named Elysium. The mission is to send 60,000 people on a 123-year trip to an Earth-like planet named Tanis to establish civilization there. Eight years into the mission the ship receives a transmission from Earth in multiple languages including English: "You're all that's left of us. Good luck, God bless, and godspeed." Some time later two astronauts of the flight crew, an altruistic claustrophobe named Corporal Bower and his level headed Lieutenant named Payton, have awakened in a hyper-sleep chamber by power surges aboard. Due to being under general anesthesia during hyper-sleep for eight years, they are both experiencing drug-induced amnesia. Bower ventures deep into the now seemingly abandoned ship to jump-start the reactor to take control of the ship before it dies, along with everyone on board. He remembers how he was inspired by the flight since childhood and has flashbacks of his wife whom he wants to find in the ship. He is suffering from the early stages of Pandorum after having a claustrophobic panic attack.
Bower encounters pale-skinned tribal warrior hunters possessing a heightened sense of smell and strength. They practice both endocannibalism and exocannibalism, hanging humans from ropes and cutting their stomachs open. He also meets two members who have become egocentric lone wolf survivalists because they believe the flight crew to be dead and thus resorted to survival-of-fittest tactics. One of them is a former geneticist of an institute in Brandenburg who has survived for months by attacking and stealing from other humans. She is initially cynical and hostile towards Bower but later warms up to him after he saves her life from the other survivor, an old cook who survived for years by eating both hunters and humans along with the algae covering the ship. Named Nadia and Leland respectively, the survivors join him when they realize that Bower can fix and fly the ship. Bower also finds an ally in Manh, a selfless and persistent Vietnamese-speaking agriculturist who saves him several times.
Meanwhile, Payton encounters a strange young man named Corporal Gallo who emerges nude and filthy from the interior of the ship. Gallo claims he had to kill his team in self-defense because they developed Pandorum as Earth mysteriously vanished on their way to Tanis and the ship became lost in space. The aftermath is depicted in drawings on the walls of Leland's lair, and he explains the origin of the hunters and their cannibalistic behavior based on what he heard from others. Gallo had developed Pandorum and apparently others he awake from hypersleep succumbed to it. As depicted in drawings of him and others with electric sparks around their heads along with blood dripping from noses.
He then psychologically manipulated the other psychotics into exiling themselves on the ship to play a nasty game which involved fighting, capturing, torturing and eating each other. Eventually Gallo went back into hyper-sleep, leaving the Elysium to become a generation ship. It is hinted that the hunters are the descendants of the psychotic cannibals who have evolved over the course of successive generations into a troglofaunal species and are apparently continuing the game Gallo started with their ancestors. This was due to an enzyme given to the members through their feeding tubes in hyper-sleep that was supposed to both help their bodies adjust to the conditions on Tanis and speed up evolutionary ecological selection. Instead, they ending up adapting to the completely artificial conditions of the ship's environment.
It is also revealed that Bower's wife left him, so he signed on to the mission to find a place in history as he had nothing left. His wife, however, remained on Earth and vanished along with it, and this causes him to grieve to the point of giving up. Out of empathy, Nadia gives emotional support to help him remain optimistic and motivated, saying that his wife actually saved his life by leaving him, and that humanity was meant to survive. This helps him to move on but he remembers something about Payton. When the group finally reach the reactor, Manh distracts the cannibals in order for Bower to jump start the reactor. Manh is cornered by their leader but refuses to die without a fight so the creature gives him a weapon to defend himself, which leads to a one-sided battle in the monster's favor. However, the creature's arrogance leads to Mahn managing to kill it; he is killed, however, when he hesitates to slay a mutant child.
The remaining three crew members head to the control room to gain control of the ship from Gallo and Payton. There it is revealed that Payton is not really who he thinks he is and that Gallo is Payton's hallucination of his younger self. Gallo proceeds to kill Leland when he arrives before the others, and he is then confronted by Bower and Nadia. Bower remembers what the real Payton looks like and knows he is not his lieutenant. However, the ship is apparently lost somewhere in space where there are no stars and the cannibals are closing in on them, this causes Bower to have another panic attack in which the final stages of Pandorum take effect.
Gallo then attempts to manipulate him as he did with others who succumbed to the psychosis. He tries to convert him to anarcho-egoism and anarcho-primitivism views. He says that they should create a new world in a wild primitive state with the ship to replace human civilization because its moralistic altruism led to the overpopulation crisis on Earth and, referring back to the mutants, that they should therefore embrace predation among themselves. It is then revealed that Gallo's hallulation lied about the ship being lost and has actually reached Tanis, settling under water, and 923 years have passed since the mission started. Gallo attacks Bower and Nadia tries to defend him. In his delirium, Bower breaks the hull's window, flooding the ship. Nadia manages to snap Bower out his condition, and they get themselves into his hibernation pod. The flood triggers a hull breach emergency which automatically ejects the active pods to the surface while Gallo and the cannibals drown. This begins Year One on Tanis with a population of 1,213.

The film began life as a preliminary script written by Travis Milloy in the late-1990s. The story was originally set on a prison ship named Pandorum, transporting thousands of Earth's deadliest prisoners to another planet; the cannibal hunters were the end result of the prisoners' degeneration. The characters played by Antje Traue and Cung Le were inmates. Ben Foster's character was a non-prisoner who did not trust anyone.
Believing no studio would want to make the film, Milloy thought about making it as a low-budget film shot on video in an abandoned paper mill with unknown actors. However, it attracted the attention of filmmaker Paul W. S. Anderson and Jeremy Bolt, and they gave it to Impact Pictures, who green-lit it. The producers gave the script to director Christian Alvart who was struck by the similarities to his own screenplay titled No Where. His dramatic story was about four astronauts aboard a settlers' ship who suffer from amnesia. Alvart decided that they should weld the two screenplays together, and the producers and Milloy agreed. With the ship now changed to a settler's ship, the use of the word "Pandorum" was changed from the name of the ship to a type of mental illness caused by sustained deep space travel.
Pandorum was announced in May 2008 with Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster in lead roles. Christian Alvart was attached to direct the film, based on a script by Travis Milloy. The movie was financed by Constantin Film through a joint venture deal with subsidiary Impact Pictures.[4] The partnership helped fund the $40 million production. Constantin drew subsidies from Germany's Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg (MBB) regional film fund, the German Federal Film Board (FFA) and the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF). The German Federal Film Fund provided $6 million to the production, the fund's second-largest 2008 payout after $7.5 million for Ninja Assassin.[5][6] Filming took place at Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam in August 2008.[4][5]
Release, director's cut, and sequel[edit]
Summit Entertainment handled foreign sales and presented Pandorum to buyers at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival due to a deal with Contender Films in the UK, so instead Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures took over and handled foreign sales to the film.[4] Overture Films distributed Pandorum in North America, Icon in the United Kingdom and Australia, Svensk in Scandinavia, and Movie Eye in Japan. The film was set up as a possible franchise, so that if it performed well, Impact Pictures could green-light one or more sequels.[5]
The DVD and Blu-ray Disc release occurred on January 19, 2010 in the United States[7] over Anchor Bay Entertainment.[8]
The director and producer commentaries on the DVD indicate that an unrated version of the movie exists but has not been released.
In 2010 fans started a Facebook group – 500,000 to get Pandorum sequel – To help reassure the producers to make sure a sequel comes out. Director Christian Alvart later became a member of the group.[9]
Pandorum mostly gained average or subpar reviews. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports the film holding 28% positive reviews out of 81, with the site rating it 4.2/10.[10] The site's consensus is that "While it might prove somewhat satisfying for devout sci-fi fans, Pandorum's bloated, derivative plot ultimately leaves it drifting in space".[10]
At Metacritic, which judges on a 0–100 scale, the film holds a "generally unfavorable" score of 28 based on 13 reviews.[11] Science fiction magazine SFX was more positive, stating that "Pandorum is the finest interstellar horror in years", and awarding the film 4 stars out of 5.[12] Film Ireland also gave Pandorum a positive review, appreciating the film's synergy of cinematic techniques, set design, and developed characters.[13]
The film grossed $20,645,327 worldwide, therefore failing to bring back its $33 million budget.[2] The film opened at #6 at the US box office with weekend receipts totaling $4,424,126.

We all know that the Internet is an excellent resource for our kids to learn and to play. But we also know that it can be a self indulgent use of their time, and an unsafe playground. Therefore, Raindrop Turkish House hosted a morning talk with Mike Daniels from Kansas City FBI Field office, the topic presented was Internet Safety and protecting our children on line. Program started at 10:00 a.m. with a traditional Turkish breakfast and followed with Raindrop Turkish House's director Mr. Murat Tatli's brief informative speech about Raindrop Turkish House. (April 4, 2009 Lenexa, KS)
Spiritual Night came out of the desire that as believers of One Creator how Jews, Christians and Muslims can come around a table and talk, share and discuss the common matters that the followers from all Abrahamic faiths believe in, in a most friendly environment without debating with one another but with loving and respecting each other. For this, Raindrop Foundation and Institute of Interfaith Dialog have organized a Spiritual Night. (April 2, 2009 Lenexa, KS)

A decade or so ago, I was excited about Java. The promise of Java as a language was that it would make applets, servlets, and other Internet programming tasks easier.
In opening the event today, Bill Gates said that every five years Microsoft looks at its strategy and makes big bets--1990 was Windows, the Web in 1995 and Web Services .Net in 2000.
Responding to Ross Mayfield's post on Microsoft's challenges in pivoting into services world inhabited by Google and others (Microsoft's announcements on the subject coming later this morning), Microsoft alpha blogger Robert Scoble offers 12 reasons--such as start up costs, performance per dollar, no lock in, more scalable, more security, easier to customize--why Web 2.0 entrepreneurs say that they don't want to work with Microsoft software.
Reports are beginning to turn up around the Web that discuss how certain CDs from Sony Music come with a Trojan horse-based digital restrictions management (DRM) technology that surreptitiously installs itself as a rootkit on Windows PCs. When software surreptitiously installs a rootkit, it's usually doing so to cover its tracks -- a technique commonly associated with malware such as viruses and Trojan horses.
In another blog entry that I published earlier today regarding how something as simple as the playback of one track of a music CD can result in the surreptitious installation of a Digital Restrictions Management (DRM) Trojan horse on your system, I also discuss how the DRM technology found on certain CDs is incompatible with Apple's DRM technology known as FairPlay. The result of this incompatibility is that the music on DRM-protected CDs from Sony music cannot be loaded into iPods.

Yale University football coach Tom Williams resigned amid an inquiry into whether he lied about being a Rhodes Scholarship candidate while attending Stanford University.
Yale University hired Tony Reno as football coach, going to the staff of rival Harvard University to fill the vacancy created when Tom Williams resigned after acknowledging problems with his resume.
Jim Rogers is sitting in his sleek, modern office on the 48th floor of the Duke Energy Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, explaining how, after a merger capped off by an 11th-hour management coup, he remains chief executive officer of the largest electric utility in the U.S. He wonders aloud whether to enliven the account with a metaphor about soured romance.
Airbus SAS said it's starting to explore ways to refresh its flagship A380 to improve performance toward the end of the decade and keep the double-decker plane competitive as newer long-range jets draw customers.
Airbus is exploring higher output of A320 single-aisle and A350 wide-body aircraft, following a similar move by Boeing Co. to help shorten the wait time for customers following its highest order intake ever last year.
Duke Energy Corp., Southern Co. and other energy companies must abide by federal limits on mercury and additional power-plant pollutants, a U.S. court said, upholding a rule regulators say will save lives and the industry claims was illegally drafted.
Boeing Co. accelerated the planned debut of its upgraded narrow-body jet while Airbus SAS said it would boost output of a rival model as they vied for advantage in the biggest part of the commercial-aircraft market.
"It's very much the engine makers who are the unsung heroes in this, coming up with new ideas and materials."

Parker Blake spends a lot of time on his skates.
Between frequenting the outdoor ice at the North End Rec Centre and commitments to his hockey team, the six-year-old is playing at least five or six days a week.
His father David Blake encourages the future sniper, who plays centre and enjoys scoring goals, to play the game as often as possible.
"Playing hockey is pretty much what we do all winter," Blake said.
"I like being involved and chasing him on his path."
That's part of the reason why Blake facilitated the hockey portion of the fifth annual February Freeze at the North End Rec Centre.
While frigid temperatures may have kept some kids at home, the ones that came out had fun playing hockey, digging for loonies and grabbing a much-appreciated cup of hot chocolate indoors.
"They're toughing it out and it's great to see the kids get away from video games for an afternoon," he said.
Barb Kukko, president of the North End Rec Centre, said the goal is to provide kids with a fun, low-cost afternoon of fun winter activities.
"We try to keep it low-cost so parents are constantly digging in their pockets," she said.
Kukko added this would likely be the final February Freeze due to competition amidst dwindling numbers with other events across the city.

The majority of Spring Hill students would consider the Avenue of the Oaks or St. Joseph Chapel their favorite place on campus, primarily because of their aesthetic pleasure and historic atmosphere.
However, senior Harrison McNab is more practical. His favorite place is where he spends most of his free time and where he gets the most joy, the Outlaw Recreation Center. McNab says, "If I could live in the gym, I would in a heartbeat."
"Fry, be your own damn tree!"
The Rev. Stephen Campbell, S.J., head of Spring Hill's fine and performing arts department, admonished Jim Fry '97 during a rehearsal of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen."
Campbell's advice reminded Fry to be confident and trust his instincts, traits that Fry tries to impart in his own students.
In just two short years since Michaela Guzy '01 left the corporate world to start her own travel content site and web-video series, she has added more than 70 countries to the places she's visited.

Dr. Hugh Anson Moye '61 understands the impact of financial aid on a person's education. In fact, it was Spring Hill's academic scholarships that ensured his attendance at the College. At Spring Hill, Moye played on the tennis team all four years and fed his love of chemistry, especially in his favorite class on quantitative analysis.
The Board of Trustees announced in early November a new leadership structure for the College. Effective Dec. 14, 2013, Rev. Gregory F. Lucey, S.J., once again assumed the presidency of Spring Hill College. John Barter '68, who was appointed chief operating officer, oversees daily operations of the College and leads the cabinet.
Dear alumni, parents and friends,
Time and time again I run across alumni and current students who say it is the people that make Spring Hill College special. In this issue of The Spring Hill College Magazine you will find many of the reasons why this statement rings so true. It features the Spring Hill stories of some of our most dedicated employees, including Cynthia Dunklin, Tony Mixon, Laury Rowland, Leola Sanders and Juanita Sasser. Each of their reflections reminds me of the people and hard work it takes to keep this campus humming, day in and day out.
Established by Clark and Eleanor Akers of Nashville, the scholarship was awarded annually to four incoming freshmen from 1977 to 1980. The scholarship, named using the couple's mothers' maiden names, covered complete tuition, room and board. Spring Hill College continued to award the scholarship until 1991.
It's not often Spring Hill College receives a substantial gift from someone with no connection to the college, other than a one-time campus visit and a drive down the Avenue of the Oaks. Yet, that's precisely what led Ernst M. Cohn to name Spring Hill College as the beneficiary of his trust, now valued at $1.68 million.
The fund establishes the Ernst M. and Doris B. Cohn Endowed Scholarship for the Sciences. The scholarship is to be based on financial need and will be awarded annually to students majoring in math or science-related fields.
In the spring of 2013, Spring Hill hired its first full-time rugby head coach to lead not only the men's squad, but to inaugurate a women's program as well. Just adding women's rugby was a radical idea in itself, but more surprising to some observers was the selection as head coach: Mollie McCarthy.

"Both my mother and father, as well as my father's parents, went to Spring Hill, so the college seemed like a good fit right away," said Kinsey. "I received scholarships from other schools, but the campus and location near the Gulf hooked me. Spring Hill is on the coast, near the beach, and close to my family in Fairhope (Ala.)."

Trained in ballet, pointe, tap and jazz, Myers was on the dance team in high school and re-founded the cheerleading team at Spring Hill her freshman year. "Dancing professionally was the next logical step for me to pursue my passion," she says.
By Laura Reese
It's not often that a chance encounter leads to the opportunity of a lifetime, but that's exactly what happened with Spring Hill senior Luke Hayes when he attended the 2013 Senior Bowl practice in Mobile, Ala.

One Track Mind: Bob Dylan and the Band, "Odds and Ends" from The Basement Tapes Complete: The Bootleg Series Vol. 11 (2014)
Lost time may never be found again but, sometimes, lost songs are.
Lost time may never be found again but, sometimes, lost songs are.
Bob Dylan's bootleg series typically offers a opportunity to dig deeper into his enigmatic and often quite personal musical history. This new edition, despite being subtitled Another Self Portrait, is different.
In November of 1980, things were going pretty well for Art Pepper. His newly published autobiography co-written with wife Laurie Straight Life had been receiving positive reviews
A track called "Lust U Always" from Prince's 1999 album-era vaults has emerged online. Check it out here!
Often bootlegged, but never officially released — until now — the Rolling Stones' Dec. 18, 1981 date at Hampton, Va., has become something of a legend. Now, the band will be adding the show to its Rolling Stones Archives site
by Tom Johnson Yep, you read that right: Dream Theater surprised their Barcelona, Spain audience in early 2002 with a song-by-song reading of the 1980s metal classic by Metallica, Master Of Puppets.
So you like XTC, right? So why don't you own Andy Partridge's Fuzzy Warbles?
by Mark Saleski The Darkness on the Edge of Town tour has taken on a sort of mythic quality, mostly because there has been scant video evidence. This "bootleg" tape unearthed by Camp Springsteen confirms what fans lucky enough to have seen one of the shows have known all along: this was the E Street Band at a fever pitch.Read More
"Double Fantasy" never felt dangerous enough to be a great John Lennon record. That started with this too-slick, of-its-moment presentation. I guess it shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise, really, since the best of Lennon's solo stuff after 1970's "Plastic Ono Band" similarly suffered from dated, shag-carpety production. He loved a big sound, when sometimes a smallerRead More
NICK DERISO: A crazy collision between the brassy sound of Rebirth and the great grooves of Parliament Funkadelic, LA Funk Brass Band is a party actually taking place on the bandstand. That makes sense, considering this funky roadhouse choir features a rotating set of 50-or-so performers with roots from northeastern Louisiana down to the Crescent City.

Yoshi Sushi
what the critics say
Toby Young - 17/20
Sunday, March 28, 2010 - We always order the same: two lots of prawn tempura to start, some yaki buta niku (fried belly pork with vegetables in a spicy sauce) to tide us over, and, for our mains, a soft-shell crab roll, a salmon-skin roll and a California roll, and a selection of nigiri, including tuna, salmon, yellowtail and flying-fish roe. It's always good. The tempura is succulent and not too greasy, the fried pork combines with the vegetables and the spicy sauce to produce something irresistibly moreish, and the maki and nigiri are full of rich, fishy flavours. This is freshly prepared, well-balanced food made by an experienced chef.

"It's for the children" Obama proclaimed after signing the twenty-three gun-grabbing executive orders after the Sandy Hook tragedy.
Advertisement-content continues below
"Never let a crisis go to waste," one of Obama's cronies once quipped. And Obama hasn't.
We can now complete the circle with this tragedy with the events that brought about the National Firearms Act known as the NFA of 1934. It came to fruition in a similar fashion in an ill-conceived legislative effort and media frenzy (so-called "public outcry") due to the St. Valentines Day Massacre of 1929, or so the story goes. However, it was done in slow motion and took them five years versus the speed of light Obama and his cohorts are acting out today.
It has only been two to three weeks since Obama announced his intention to ban so-called assault weapons before the legislative and executive assault began.
This latest foray into gun control is simply a national gun-registration scheme, which plays out as I first reported in a previous article. A synopsis of S.150, on Senator Feinstein's legislation, is as follows:
Advertisement-content continues below
"To regulate assault weapons, to ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited, and for other purposes."
The synopsis is simply the title of the legislation; we now know what she and her cohorts have in mind the short title is:
''Assault Weapons Ban of 2013.''
The language is troubling: "To ensure that the right to keep and bear arms is not unlimited." If we look closer, the key phrase is "not unlimited." Our constitutional rights now come with apparent expiration dates pre-ban versus after, since it will codify specific limits to our Second Amendment right to bear arms. This legislation is not a constitutional amendment either. It is simply a bill to re-designate conventional arms, as equivalent to automatic weapons, with their large capacity magazines, which will now fall under the NFA registration requirements, and its $200.00 fee for each weapon and magazine registered.
This obviously infringes on our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
The most troubling language in the bill is "and for other purposes" which is not defined at all within the pages of the bill where we find our rights are limited and they are being curtailed for other purposes, which are undefined.
When you factor in ninety-five pages of this legislation, it lists one weapon after another, which are exempt under the act. After you include the seven pages that are specifically "banned," the 123-page bill has 102 pages of specific weapons by name, manufacturer and model number.
Why would they need to list specific weapons?
Why are they not using descriptive legal designations that discuss their functionality: i.e., falling block, lever action, pump, single shot, bolt action, tip-up, rolling block, muzzle loading, semi-automatic, automatic etc. The only reasonable guess is to list the banned/exempt firearms in this way is to tack it on as an infamous "rider bill" that are one or two sentences long on another piece of legislation that references this legislation to implement confiscation without raising much interest sometime in the future.

April 26
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
Underneath are the everlasting arms. — When [Peter] saw the wind bois-terous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? — The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.
The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. — Casting all your care upon Him, for he careth tor you. — He that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of his eye.
They shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all.
SONG 2:6. Deut. 33:27. Matt. 14:30,31. Psa. 37:23,24. Deut. 33:12. I Pet. 5:7. Zech. 2:8. John 10:28,29.
Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?
The church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
There appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun. — The marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. — The righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe.
The glory which thou gavest me I have given them.

US Foreign Policy
Chuck Hagel Would Be An Asset to Obama's National Security Team
I hope the rumors are true.
Let's Talk Post-Election US Foreign Policy
Global Solutions is hosting a webinar on post-election foreign policy priorities. Heather Hurlburt of the National Security Network is the other panelist and Global Solutions' Don Kraus is moderating.
Middle East; Iraq; Ebola
Middle East: During the last 48 hours of the continued ceasefire, humanitarian workers have delivered food to hundreds of thousands of people, repaired water and sanitation infrastructure, re-stocked medical supplies, and some of the 520,000 displaced Palestinians have returned to their homes. However, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator remarked the scale of needs remains "unprecedented in the Gaza Strip."
Middle East; Ebola; South Sudan
Middle East: At today's informal session of the General Assembly on Gaza the SG remarked that the most recent ceasefire has held since yesterday at 8 a.m. local time. He noted that a durable ceasefire is necessary and UN shelters must continue to remain safe zones. The SG thanked UN staff in Gaza and will fly the UN flag at half-mast tomorrow in memory of those who died in the conflict.
Middle East; Ebola; Syria
Middle East: The SG commended Israeli and Palestinian parties for committing to a 72-hour ceasefire that took place at 8 a.m. local time today. He urges all parties to abide by the ceasefire and commence peace talks in Cairo to address underlying issues and agree on a durable ceasefire to sustainably stop the violence. The UN lends its full support toward these efforts.
Middle East; Iraq; Afghanistan
Middle East: The SG condemned yesterday's shelling outside of an UNRWA school in Rafah that killed at least 10 Palestinian civilians. The SG stated that the attack violated international humanitarian law and UN shelters must continue to be safe zones and not combat zones.
SG; Security Council; Middle East
SG: Last night the SG spoke at a joint press conference with the Foreign Minister of Costa Rica where he repeated his call for an unconditional and extendable humanitarian ceasefire. Speaking about yesterday's shelling of a UN shelter he said: "Nothing – nothing – justifies such horror" and demanded "that all parties immediately respect UN premises".
SG; Ukraine; Middle East
SG: The SG met with President Ortega yesterday in Nicaragua where he visited a wind farm and praised the country's commitment to renewable energy. The SG arrived in Costa Rica today where he is expected to lecture about "Costa Rica and the United Nations: Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century".

In November, voters sent the message that they wanted changes in Washington, D.C. As a result, when the 110th Congress convenes this month, there will be new Democratic leadership controlling the House and Senate. While it's too early to tell exactly how that will affect security legislation, it will clearly affect which measures go forward and what specifics get into those bills. Industry regulation—as opposed to voluntary compliance—and individual privacy safeguards are likely to get more support than in the prior Congress, for example, though the thin margins will militate against any radical shifts in direction. We'll be watching closely and keeping you apprised of the developments.
Security Management is taking the opportunity of a new year to implement some changes of our own. With these modifications, we continue to refine our redesign with the goal of making information more accessible, relevant, and useful to busy readers.
One change is an addition to the magazine's monthly departments. Aptly named "International," it will give you the global perspective on business and security developments that today's interconnected world demands (see page 42). The department will be written by Assistant Editor Robert Elliott, who previously covered our homeland security beat. As someone who has lived in France and Argentina and traveled extensively, Elliott brings authoritative firsthand insight to his coverage of other cultures.
Picking up the homeland security beat since late last year is a new addition to the staff, Joe Straw, who has nearly a decade of experience in journalism, including experience reporting on the White House, the Supreme Court, and Congress. He strengthens an already strong editorial staff, many of whom have been specializing in security issues for more than a decade.
Another important addition to the editorial mix is a second monthly chart on security market trends. This exclusive proprietary information is from the well-respected market research and management consulting firm J.P. Freeman Co., Inc. Started in 1983 by Joseph P. Freeman, the company publishes comprehensive market reports and provides a wide range of services. These monthly charts will help readers understand and plan for market shifts. The Freeman charts, along with the market information currently provided monthly by The Freedonia Group, Inc., will appear in "Intelligence."
Other more modest changes that you may notice is that the former "Working Wise" has been renamed "Case Study" to more clearly tell readers its focus. In addition "Managing" moves to the back of the book, replacing "Notable and Quotable."
Security Management will also be introducing an ancillary product, the Security Management Video Edition, later in 2007. Look for more on this in the coming months. In addition, we'll be updating the Web site, and we welcome suggestions on ways to make it more useful to you, so don't hesitate to e-mail ideas to firstname.lastname@example.com. May your New Year be a good one.
See all the latest links and resources that supplement the current issue of Security Management magazine.

❝——-my brother bought me baby juice.
I mean, I'm not a kid ; do I look like a kid to you?❞
"I must admit, you don't look quite like a child, but perhaps your brother only had the best intentions towards you when he gave you this gift?
[ he frowns and looks away. he knows what its like to give a gift that isn't very well received by a sibling. ]
"And why do you assume that I will not ever know you? You shall be living in my house, after all. Perhaps we shall become friends, perhaps it will be nothing more than an experiment, and we shall part indifferently. But do you really want to continue living in this way?" Artemis asked, knowing that he would hit a soft spot with his words.
He can see her visibly draw back, perhaps thinking of being put back into a lab.
"Vera." he brings her face up to meet his. "I swear on my grandmother's grave, I will not ever, do any experiment which you are not comfortable with." he says, hoping that the words will comfort her, although he is very eager to be able to do this experiment.
"We are creatures of mistakes and routine, but we are always creates of assumption. There's no will for otherwise." Assumptions were mostly ugly but she isn't afraid to be ugly. She's been playing the monster long before experimentation, she was so used to things. So used to things being a certain way, feeling things a certain way. He asked her if she wanted to continue living this way — truth was she didn't.
How did he know?
Clever boy. The mild assertiveness isn't something she's used to, as he redirects her gaze. It's — what others fail to realize and scientists had used in their favor — something she responds to. Her green hues had already soften, and they blink just like they're supposed to. "Okay." She nods, just to make sure her vague verbal agreement isn't enough.
"But we are also creatures of compassion- capable not only of brutality but of sympathy commiseration with our fellow man or woman kind." he finds the words rolling off his tongue, although he knows he doesn't quite believe in them.
Her simple 'Okay' gives him a bit of a shock, though he doesn't show it.
It's surprising, the way she's given in so quickly. He's not exactly complaining, but it seems strange, and it only serves to put him more on guard. She is unpredictable, and even he cannot tell what she is going to do next.
"Well then, I believe my car awaits." he stands up, holding his hand out. Will she take it? Or will this just turn into another endless game of chase?
"And I believe that I have requested for you rabid fangirls to cease asking me this question."
"Your mother thinks that she is a very funny woman. Which, incidentally, she is not. (Please don't tell her that I said that.)" Artemis cleared his throat.
"I believe that since the last time I measured my height, I was approximately 170 centimetres. Butler of course, is much taller than that, and he's around 190 centimetres, I think. Juliet is also taller than me, and she's 175 centimetres. I hope that helped, and I'm quite flattered that you've decided to put me in your homework! I hope all goes well!"
{{ I JUST SAW THIS D: Shall we plot something then? :D I'm clean outta ideas though.
edit: WHOOPS I CLICKED THE WRONG BUTTON *facepalms* }}
{{ Would any of my followers like to start a thread? I'd really like to get Artemis up and running again! LIke this post if you want a starter! }}
"Well, at first of course, they were utterly surprised and a lot of tears were shed, but I had to step in and perform that very shameful mindwipe upon my own family, and that, well, that's not something I'm proud of at all."
"— Well, as a matter of fact, I do. She is one of the only people in the world whose opinion I value. Well, besides Butler, Holly, my family and perhaps Albert Einstein in his younger years."
"I have absolutely no comment."

Many Koreans have started making their way to their hometowns, ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday.

Transportation officials expect over 27-million people to travel around the country this Lunar New Year.
Heavy traffic is expected on the highways starting this afternoon and the congestion will reach its peak tomorrow.
Some Koreans are even heading overseas during the holiday, with some 270-thousand people expected to leave the country.

There's more to recent attacks on the billionaire donors than meets the eye. Continue reading
The Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision opened floodgates to unlimited corporate spending on elections, much of which is spent on often misleading and manipulative attack ads. But identifying false claims, unveiling who funds and approves them, and preventing such media manipulation from moving beyond commercial media into public television is imperative to preserving our democracy. The FCC, some local TV stations, and organizations like The Sunlight Foundation, ProPublica, Free Press, FactCheck.org, and the New America Foundation are leading the way. And we're jumping in, too. This page aims to help by providing you with information, empowerment tools and links to help you make a difference in the cause of campaign integrity and transparency. We'll keep adding materials and suggesting helpful sites and sources as we come across them. You can help by suggesting your own ideas and possible partners. Let's clear the air.
