WEIRTON - Ross Comis scored twice on the ground and threw two touchdown passes while Nick Ossman also rushed for two scores to lead the Madonna Blue Dons to a convincing 48-6 victory over Toronto Saturday night at Jimmy Carey Stadium.
The win boosts the Blue Don record to 8-1 and solidified their hold on fifth place in the Class A state rankings. It also set the stage for a red letter date with undefeated Clay-Battelle next week.
The Cee Bees, ranked right behind the Blue Dons at sixth, will invade Jimmy Carey Stadium next Friday with a 7 p.m. kickoff. The game was originally scheduled to be played Saturday night, Nov. 3, but was switched to Friday to make things easier deciding opponents for the West Virginia playoffs.

ONE MORE — Madonna's Nick Ossman prepares to score one of his two touchdowns at Jimmy Carey Stadium Saturday night as the Blue Dons defeated Toronto 48-6. The Red Knights finished the season at 3-7. Madonna will host 9-0 Clay-Battelle at 7 p.m. Friday.

FINAL GAME — Toronto's Joey?Chadwick, after receiving a handoff from quarterback Blaze Glenn (7) completes a pass to Charles Ross III during Saturday's loss to Madonna at Jimmy Carey Stadium. The Red Knights finished the season at 3-7.
Comis rushed for 174 yards on only seven carries including touchdowns runs of 9 and 21 yards. He also had a 75-yard scamper from scrimmage. He was deadly with his arm hitting 8 of 12 for 86 yards including touchdown passes of 15 yards to Elliott Nero and 20 yards to Will Bowser.
In addition, the Blue Don defense, which is the stingiest of the teams in the coverage area of this newspaper, stifled the Red Knight offense allowing them just 60 yards rushing and 23 passing.
"Our defense keeps getting better and better every week," Madonna coach Doug Taylor said. "We put a lot of time into it. We are getting our reads better. We're disguising some stuff, too, which makes it a lot better for us. We've got some good players on defense. We try to get our best athletes out there on the defensive side of the football."

The lone mistake for the Madonna defense was a 40-yard touchdown run by Toronto's freshman quarterback, Blaze Glenn, who lived up to his first name turning around left end and shifting into high gear down the sideline.
"That is a well-coached team," Taylor said. "They came out ready to play and caught us in a little hiccup to put a touchdown on the board. It actually woke our guys up a little bit and after that they played pretty strong."
Madonna set the tone early stopping Toronto for a net loss of six yards in three plays to force a punt.
The Blue Dons put the ball in play at the Red Knight 46 and scored four plays later with Comis snaking his way over left tackle from nine yards out. Madonna lined up to have sophomore Matt Green kick the extra point, but Anthony Antinone, the holder, had trouble with the snap and rolled to his left finding Grant Retton in the end zone for a two-point conversion.
Toronto came right back with its next possession and marched from its own 35 to the Madonna 40 where quarterback Blaze Glenn picked his way through the Madonna defense and found daylight around the left end for the 40-yard score. The Red Knights attempted to tie the game with a two-point conversion but a Blaze Glenn pass fell incomplete.
The Blue Dons took command for good on the next possession as junior Marcello Biondillo ran back the Red Knight kickoff 52 yards from his own 17 to the Toronto 31. Four plays later, Comis found Nero open on a swing pass and the speedy junior outraced the Toronto defenders to the end zone. The play covered 15 yards. Green's kick made the score 15-6.
"Madonna is a lot bigger than us and better than us," said Toronto coach, Eric Meek, whose team finished the season with a record of 3-7. "I hope they do well with their big game next week and hopefully in the playoffs.
"We're a young team. This was about our seniors tonight (Toronto has just five seniors on the roster) we wanted to kind of focus on them. We got a lot of kids back and we want to focus in the off season to get bigger and stronger and just keep plugging away."
The Blue Dons scored three times in the second period.
Ossman took a pitch and raced left to the end zone from the three yard line and burst straight up the middle from eight yards out.
Then, Comis capped the first half scoring with a 21-yard keeper through the right side of his line.
Those scores gave the Blue Dons a 35-6 advantage at the intermission.
Madonna had the opening possession of the second half and Comis ended a Blue Dons drive with a 20-yard touchdown toss to Bowser to increase the score to 41-6.
The Madonna reserves played the rest of the way.
Antinone, who replaced Comis at quarterback, scored on the first play of the fourth quarter with a 27-yard keeper up the middle.

For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Parents Pursue Kids' Reading, TV Rules
Oct. 31, 2007 -- Today's parents are more involved in reading to their kids, setting child TV limits, and eating meals with their kids, compared with parents a decade ago.
The findings come from the Census Bureau's latest figures on parental involvement in various aspects of kids' lives, including reading, TV limits, and family breakfasts and dinners.
Those figures, gathered in 2004, show an increase since 1994 in children and teens who had limits on their TV content and hours.
In 2004, such limits were in place for 47% of teens, 70% of kids aged 6-11, and 68% of kids aged 3-5.
In comparison, in 1994 those rules were in place for 40% of teens, 60% of kids aged 6-11, and 54% of kids aged 3-5.
Likewise, the percentage of children read to seven or more times per week rose between 1994 and 2004.
In 2004, 53% of kids aged 1-2 and 51% of kids aged 3-5 were read to seven or more times per week.
Ten years earlier, 48% of kids aged 1-2 and 47% of kids aged 3-5 were read to by a parent at least seven times weekly.
The Census Bureau's new report also shows that 74% of kids younger than 6 are praised by a parent at least three times daily. So are 54% of children aged 6-11 and 40% of adolescents aged 12-17.
In addition, most young children eat breakfast and dinner with a parent every day during a typical week, though those percentages taper off for older kids and teens.
The Census Bureau didn't track parental praise for children or family meals in 1994.

Flag Protocol
NORMAL — In every case, the answer is virtually the same. "We wanted to do something in their honor. We didn't think anyone would complain if we lowered the flag to half staff."
But people do complain.
Unit 5 School Superintendent Gary Niehaus understands that now.
It was Feb. 29 and the district was dealing with the aftermath of an accident that killed a 42-year-old woman who had walked in front of a Unit 5 school bus. The woman died, and Niehaus and his staff tossed around ideas on how to deal with the tragedy and move forward. Lowering the flags at Unit 5 schools, they thought, would be a good way to show respect and compassion for the woman.
While the intention may have been noble, the reaction against lowering the flags was swift. A Downs resident was the first to call, saying the district didn't have the authority to take the action — even for flags on its own property.
"We quickly restored the building flags to full staff," Niehaus said.
But the debate was on.
Who has the authority to order flags to half staff and when?
According to the U.S. Flag Code, only the president and state governors can decide when the flag should be flown at half staff. However, the temptation is there for anyone in charge of a facility with a flagpole on the grounds.
That's the temptation Clinton Mayor Ed Wollet faced in the days following the Nov. 5 death of Clinton Fire Chief Jeff Pearl. Wollet ordered the city's flags be lowered to honor the chief, but it didn't take long for him to meet resistance from local residents.
"I don't believe it was anything against Jeff, but some thought the flag should only be lowered under orders from the president or the governor," Wollet said. "Jeff was an active fire chief and a very popular figure in this town. Everyone knew him, and everyone liked him."
And while Pearl may have served his community well, he was not a former president, current or former vice president, chief justice, speaker of the House of Representatives, associate justice of the Supreme Court, a secretary of an executive or military department, or the governor of a state, territory or possession. Also, he was not a senator, representative, delegate or the resident commissioner from Puerto Rico. Those are officials for whom the flag can be lowered, according to the flag code.
And Wollet soon learned that he, like Niehaus, didn't have the authority to lower the flag.
"He was a civil servant who died while he held the position of fire chief," Wollet said. "In my mind, certainly, he is someone who deserves an honor such as that."
But officials such as Wollet continue to get an education on what is and what isn't allowed for lowering the flag.
Even Niehaus, who has spent his entire career in education, learned something.
"The reaction was positive for the most part and informative," he said. "I talked with several people who just wanted me to know the flag codes. I learned something about the American flag."
One thing is certain, he said: People have very strong feelings about the flag.
Count Bloomington resident Randy Presswood among them.
"It just kind of hit me wrong," said Presswood, who was among those who objected to Unit 5 lowering the flag for the accident victim. "I talked with the superintendent about it, but by that time, he had received several complaints and had decided against lowering the flag. But there were a bunch of us who felt the same way. Lowering the flag sends an important message."
Clinton veteran Virgil Brady, a member of AMVETS, couldn't agree more.
"As a veteran, the flag stands for something very important to me, because there were so many of us, including myself, who fought for that flag," he said. "There are only two people who have the authority to lower the flag, and that's the way it should be."
"While it's understandable to want to honor someone for serving his community well, you have a major problem in where to draw the line at," he continued. "If you lower it for say, someone who served for 40 years on the fire department, then what about the guy who served 32 years? Or the guy who served 16? Or the guy who served five? It's very difficult to know who should get that honor and who shouldn't, so in my opinion, let the president and the governor decide."

1957 Ford Fairlane - Goin' HomeWritten by Eric Geisert on June 1, 2010 Contributors: Josh Mishler Tom Devlin's '57 Ford Fairlane
There's an old saying: "You can never go home." But in the hot rod world, you can get awfully close. Growing up in Wichita, Kansas, Tom Devlin's earliest memories include driving around town with his dad while the elder Devlin sold Paramount movies to local theaters. The car was a company car: a 1957 Ford Fairlane, and it was showroom new. Unfortunately Tom's dad passed away when he was just 10 years old, making the Fairlane the last car his dad would ever own.
In the next few decades Tom would go on to great success in business, and he eventually got to a point where he wanted to have a '57 Fairlane of his own. Now if the Devlin moniker sounds familiar, it's probably because Tom's son, Tim, has made a name for himself in running Devlin Rod and Customs, a Wichita-based shop devoted to building dream cars for their customers.
To get things rolling, Tom's oldest son, Tommy, began looking for a Fairlane on the Internet and soon found what looked like a good starting point. Tom bought it but soon realized it was in worse shape than he'd originally thought. The floors were half gone, the gas tank rusted, quarter-panels rotted away, and trim missing.
The car was delivered to Tim's shop, and the thought on the project was not to alter the overall design but just clean things up. Little custom touches were OK, but Tom wanted something that looked like it could have come out of the lil' page hot rod books he saw as a kid.
Tim's shop began with the chassis, which features an 8.75-inch rearend that was narrowed 2 inches as well as a set of de-arched springs and a pair of Monroe shocks. The front utilizes a couple of Fatman Fabrications 2-inch-drop spindles, two Jamco dropped springs, and a Wurth-It power rack conversion. For brakes, the stock drums were used out back, but the fronts were updated to a set Wilwood discs along with an 8-inch booster and a master cylinder with a 7/8-inch bore. The Wheelsmith welded up a set of smoothie wheels for the Fairlane (15x7s and 8s), which were then wrapped in Cooper Trendsetter P205/75R-15 and 225/75R-15 rubber.
A hopped up motor was essential to a proper '50s hot rod, so the '57 312 Y-block Ford was given over to Saum Engineering in Wichita. Saum's used a stock crank and rods, but assembled the short-block with forged dome pistons (9.4:1) and an Isky solid camshaft and topped the block off with an Edelbrock 553 intake, a trio of Stromberg 48 carbs, and a pair of Offenhauser valve covers.
A PerTronix Ignitor III ignition system works in tandem with Moroso Blue Max wires, and exhaust exits through a pair of ceramic-coated Red's headers and aluminized Smithy's mufflers. Tuned by Mike Walker of Buffco Performance on a chassis dyno, the Y-block produced 193.6 rear wheel horsepower at 2,700 rpm. Helping get that power to the ground is a four-speed Toploader trans (assembled at The Tranny Shop in Wichita) guided by a Hurst Competition/Plus floor-mounted shifter.
Besides the extensive rust repair, the Fairlane also benefited by custom tricks that included '55 T-bird door handles, frenched headlights and taillights, and a rolled rear pan (behind the bumper and below the frenched license plate).
Though he thought the car might end up a shade of blue, Tom did some research and found a Cumberland Green and Colonial White combo that he fell in love with so, after completing the bodywork and prep, Devlin's painted the Ford its two-tone layout. Once the pieces started going back on the car (including a heavy dose of new chrome by Sherm's Custom Plating in Sacramento, California), the attention turned to the interior.
At first glance things look fairly stock, unless you notice the 8,500-rpm tachometer mounted to the column, just in front of the stock gauge unit that was reworked by Bob's Speedometer. The stock radio was also converted over by Jim Sales and Service to control the Pioneer stereo and CD changer. Another well-hidden option in this build is the A/C system that was provided by Hot Rod Air.
Before the threads went in, Devlin Rod and Customs used Lizard Skin insulation wherever they could to deaden noise and provide some protection from heat. Downey's Auto Upholstery in Wichita then laid out the factory Ford fabric/vinyl combo on the stock front and rear seats, then installed dark green carpet as a contrast. Heat-pressed vinyl was used on the door panels for an even more authentic appearance.
Once his car was completed, Tom went down to his son's shop and climbed in behind the wheel and then realized it was the first time he'd been in a '57 Fairlane since his dad had passed away. He then took Tim on a drive, completing a circle that was decades in the making. So who says you can never go home?

CAMERON (February 8, 2013)—Isidro Dominguez, 27, of Cameron, was in the Milam County jail Friday facing a list of charges stemming from a four-month narcotics investigation, the Milam County Sheriff's Office said.
Dominguez was arrested after a brief chase during which deputies were nearly struck, authorities said.
The arrest came after officers served simultaneous search warrants Thursday at homes in the 1100 block of Ben Milam Road and the 800 block of West 2nd Street in Cameron.
Authorities recovered cocaine, marijuana and guns from both homes, the sheriff's office said.
Dominguez was facing charges of possession of a controlled substance more than 4, but less than 200 grams, tampering with evidence, aggravated assault on a public servant, evading arrest in a motor vehicle, and misdemeanor marijuana possession, the sheriff's office said.

What recommended data profiling tool to retrieve a lot of information and enable to visulize the data into graphical statistics? The data is coming from the source database.

Your questions are quite broad, so this is difficult to answer definitively. However, I'll give an overview of the field.
Data profiling is the process of analysing data to understand the semantics of the data and identify data quality issues that may need to be resolved. Things that data profiling will address include:
Often the data can be profiled by just poking around it with a database query tool such as SSMS and writing SQL queries directly against the source, or a copy of the data loaded into a staging or scratch area. Desktop tools such as spreadsheets (pivot tables can be useful) or database systems such as MS-Access may also be helpful.
Purpose built data profiling tools such as Pandora X88 are also available, but these tend to be relatively expensive. Often they are quite a hard sell, even on larger enterprise projects where they represent a tiny fraction of the overall budget.
Often your best approach is to simply copy all your source data into a staging database and poke around it. This work can also form the basis of your staqging processes later on.

I have heard of several situations of people using say, JavaScript or Python (or something), inside a program written in C#. When would using a language like JavaScript to do something in a C# program be better then just doing it in C#?

When you have behavior that you don't want to have to recompile the program in order to change. This is exactly why so many games use Lua as a scripting/modding language.
This technique can be used to implement core logic that is easily portable between different language environments. For example, I have a calculator simulator where all the internal calculator logic is implemented in 100% JavaScript. The user interface code is of course different for each platform:
With this arrangement, making versions of my program for different operating environments, and especially keeping them up to date, is much simpler.
Very broadly there are two situations where you would apply this pattern:
An example here would be Lua used in Adobe Lightroom.
IBM used scripting languages very successfully in their mainframe operating system VM-CMS. EXEC, EXEC/2 and later Rexx were used throughout the system both internally and externally. Different applications (e.g. XEDIT) were scriptable using those same languages and internal applications/utilities (e.g. E-mail) were written in the scripting language and leveraged the tight integration with the OS and other tools. Customers created and shared many scripted tools and applications. DEC also provided DCL. Later on Microsoft supported VBscript as a scripting language in most of their applications and more recently PowerShell (also MS/DOS batch files). Unix shells have scripting as well.
The trend today appears to be exposing APIs in some way and leave the choice of scripting language up to users who can utilize different bindings or other means of accessing the API.
Real world examples would include:-
Many embedded devices are implemented using a very small set of core C functions which are glued together using a scripting language such as Lua. So you have a set of small, fast C functions which interact with the hardware, and, most of the control logic in a flexible, easy to amend scripting langauge.
Sometimes scripting is embedded in an application because it's a means to extend the host application by other developers. In order to capture as wide a range of programming language skills as possible, multiple scripting languages could be supported by the host. For example, on the JVM, you can embed a whole slew of JSR-223 compliant languages, including Python, Ruby, JavaScript, etc.
Another reason not already mentioned is that the embedded language has one or more standout features which the host language could not easily duplicate. An example of this would be the Parse functionality or effortless DSL (domain specific language/dialect) creation which can be found in a language like Rebol.
There is one interesting way of using a scripting language inside an application which have not been mentioned by the others yet.
If your host language has a rich, reflective runtime, it is often useful to embed a simple language with REPL in your applications, hook it on a socket and give it an access to the whole system.
It can be used for an interactive debugging (and it's naturally much more powerful than your usual debugger), hot code patching, various monitoring purposes, even backdoors (if you're up to no good).
My specific situation, when I use an interpreted scripting language in a major application:
There is an external device that performs several functions. Measurements, control, readouts. It's pretty "dumb" itself and requires precise control, step-by-step, including lots of wait states and ad-hoc decision making on the control mechanism side.
Various functionalities of the device are required at various points of the main application, at different times, often on-demand. The main app does not allow for wait states as such, everything must be done with finite state machines.
Now whoever wrote a finite state machine knows implementing a wait state is effectively at least two, often three or four internal states of the machine. Implementing twenty wait-states for various functions (and waiting for their responses and reacting accordingly) of the external device would be a very, very frustrating experience.
So, instead there are states of "execute a no-wait function", "execute a blocking function", "execute a branching/conditional/jump" function in the finite state machine, maybe six states total. And there are control scripts that get scheduled for execution, then executed by the interpreter controlling the external device, and their results placed where they are required.
Summing up, the application: in a RTOS, using an internal interpreted scripting language may enormously reduce complexity of performing tasks abundant in wait-states (blocking functions).
From my experience, we once developed a big application that does rewrite sourcecode of an "ancient" langue to be unicode compatible. The was done in C#. I ended up writing only the engine (that creates a data model and provides means to do the steps necessary for the rewrite process) in C# - the "glue code" for actually executing things is done in IronPython.
The biggest point for the integrated IronPython: Let's assume you loaded a big data model (about one hour load time). Then you want to -manually- collect information and look up things. Doing this with a Python script from an interactive console is far far better than clicking through the data model with the debugger (plus, it's replayable).
There are couple reasons.
When? Between 1948 and 2008 - initially compiled languages took significant time to compile and link, so it was commonplace to create a scripting language to allow user customisation and configuration. If you look at the history of AutoLisp, then the answer is initially AutoCAD shipped with a scripting language within it, but this was phased out in favour of exposing an scriptable interface to VBA then .net.
With CLR, enabling a C# program or a Lua program call into an existing system are not significantly different in development cost, and the .net runtime ships with the tools to generate and compile on the fly.
You no longer need to have a scripting language within the larger program, but instead expose the larger program to the scripting facilities of the runtime.
In environments which don't offer on the fly code generation and compilation, and it is seen as desirable to offer a general-purpose automation language rather than a domain specific one, you will still get Lua or Python scripting. For tools offering a COM interface, then that scripting language will be C# or VB.net ( MS Office, Sparx Enterprise Architect ). So having a scripting language for a program written in a language which is itself simple enough to be a scripting language is a unnecessary.

5 World Leaders Who Were Accused of Being the Antichrist
Be it from asteroids, nuclear war or global warming, our society is obsessed with the end of the world. It's our thing.
By far our favorite apocalypse scenario is the Christian one that says the Antichrist will rise up, take over the world, start a planet-wide war and trigger a series of supernatural events so bizarre you'd need several huge hits of LSD to fully appreciate them. That only leaves the big question: Who is this Antichrist guy?
As we speak, apocalypse enthusiasts everywhere are busy trying to answer that question. So far they've made vigorous cases for...
#5. Ronald Reagan
Sure, at times it seemed like the Alzheimer's set in about halfway through his presidency, but overall Ronald Reagan got a free pass and was generally well liked. Hell, he won 49 friggin' states in the 1984 election.
"Ooh, I'm Minnesota, I'm better than everyone, oooh." Get over yourself.
What His Accusers Have To Say
As usual, numbers come into play. It's said that the Antichrist will carry the Mark of the Beast (666). Where was Rockin' Ronnie's mark? In his name, of course, Ronald Wilson Reagan. That's six letters in each name, folks. 666. But it doesn't end there.
People have come up with an entire laundry list of other reasons why Reagan was the Antichrist. They range everywhere from the stupid (Revelation 13:3 - "One of its heads seemed to have a mortal wound, but its mortal wound was healed" refers to James Brady?) to the very stupid (Revelation 13:2 - ".... its feet were like a bear's ...." refers to the state animal of Reagan's adopted home state of California).
Six letters in each name.
Survived a mortal wound (although not to the head).
First Lady wore a lot of red.
Moved to a house at 666 St. Cloud Rd. upon retirement.
What are you hiding under that hat, Ronnie? Horns?!
Never blasphemed God.
Was most definitely not succeeded by Christ.
Was not homosexual (as far as we know).
Kind of a shitty actor. We expect more from the Antichrist.
The number of the Beast probably isn't even 666.
Our Verdict
First of all, every person with six letters in each of their names does not qualify as the Antichrist. Mad Magazine associate editor Jerry DiFusco suggested that the E in Alfred E. Newman stands for Enigma. Alfred Enigma Newman. Do the math. Is this the face of the Antichrist?
Well, we certainly think so.
As you'll find with most people on this list, while there may be a few striking coincidences, there is actually a list of twenty-seven characteristics that the Antichrist must possess. While a simple stretching of the truth could make Reagan fit into some of them (you know, he did speak boastfully!), he falls well short on many others. Too many others to even list, in fact. Sorry, paranoid left wingers, Ronnie ain't yer demon. Keep your eye on that Newman fucker though.
#4. Mikhail Gorbachev
The New Coke to Reagan's Pepsi, Gorbachev's ultimately failed attempts to reform the Soviet Union made him so popular on the world stage that it's no surprise books hit the shelves at the height of his power declaring him to be the Antichrist.
It seemed so plausible in 1988. A reformed, sprawling, thriving, atheist Soviet Empire? The prophecy is fulfilled! Run for the hills!
Then the Soviet Union sputtered into collapse, and that was that.
What His Accusers Have To Say
It's a cruel irony that the guy who went to the negotiating table with Regan to help bring the world back from the brink of nuclear Armageddon so frequently got accused of being the Antichrist. You know, the guy who was to bring about Armageddon.
Raise your hand if you're the Antichrist. Hah! Gotcha.
Actually, it's not irony at all, it's prophecy! As this site so helpfully points out, it's the peace itself he helped bring about that marks him as a devil:
"The modern peace symbol is, in fact, a satanic symbol called the "Cross Of Nero" (Nero was a Roman emperor who was infamous for his ruthless persecution and murder of Christians). The symbol is an inverted, broken Christian cross in a circle and is supposed to signify the defeat of Christianity (see Bob Larson's book, Satanism, p.109).
This represents how peace in the modern world is a false, antichristian peace."
Man... we're skeptical on the whole, but, if there's some kind of argument to be made against that logic, we'll be damned if we know what it is. Check and mate.
But even if the lack of nuclear annihilation wasn't enough of a warning sign to you, just check out the forehead:
Though, we suppose it could be worse.
As this site informs us, "Many have mentioned that 'mark' on his forehead. The Bible does say in Revelation that the Antichrist will require everyone to 'receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand.' (Revelation 14:9)"
Don't you see? It has the words "mark" and "forehead" right there in the prophecy! And he has a mark on his forehead! Shit!
Charismatic leader
Worldwide popularity
Ruled an enormous empire
Weird thing on his head
Looked like a huge pussy compared to previous Soviet leaders
Was instrumental in making the whole Armageddon thing not come true
Our Verdict
If we were in the apocalyptic books market in the 80s, our personal theory would have been that Reagan and Gorbachev were both the Antichrist. We're thinking that between the two of them they surely filled all of the criteria, combining to form a sort of anti-Christian Voltron. We could have made millions off that theory.
"And I'll form the apocalypse."
But here's the one we're going with now: With the largest empire in the world under his command, along with a nuclear arsenal that could destroy the planet hundreds of times over and the ear of every world leader... we're thinking that Gorby was actually supposed to be the Antichrist. He simply fucked it up.
#3. Pope Benedict XVI
Joseph Ratzinger, who goes by the stage name "Pope Benedict XVI," is one of the most popular current candidates for the role of Antichrist.
He hasn't really been in place long enough to have racked up any kind of track record of wrongdoing. Sure, there have been plenty of pedophile scandals, but he kind of inherited that problem. And there is the issue of him having been a member of the Hitler Youth. Granted, at the time, joining the Hitler Youth was a requirement for boys of his age, and by most accounts he wasn't too happy about it.
Doesn't he look happy?
But who lets fact get in the way of a good scandal?
What His Accusers Have To Say
If you Google "Pope Benedict XVI Antichrist" the first result you come across is the mysteriously named website www.popebenedictantichrist.com. Seems like a good enough place to start. Among the evidence they cite is Revelation 17: 7,9 - "The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth." If you're asking "What the fuck?" keep in mind, Rome sits on seven hills, apparently. Does this mean any Pope in the history of forever fits into that description? Yes, yes it does. But JoeRat is the Pope right now, so it has to be him, right? And he's apparently a woman also.
Look at him, clapping. Just like the devil.
Has no regard for the desire of women
Different from other kings (a Pope from Germany?)
Worshiped by many people, sort of
Looks creepy as all hell
Has yet to change the calendar
Seems to dig the religion of his ancestors
Vatican Military probably couldn't accomplish much
Arrival on the world scene not accompanied by miracles
Our Verdict
Antichrist revealing is big business. Don't believe us? Check out this site which would love to sell you a book explaining why "The Pope" is the Antichrist. Which Pope? Whatever Pope sells you the book, they don't really specify. There probably hasn't been a Pope for several decades that wasn't accused of being the Antichrist. Nothing about this Pope makes him any more likely to bring about your destruction than anyone who preceded him.
"If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed."

News on the HHS mandate?
Following a closed-door discussion of the contraception mandate, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued an unsigned (but unanimousy passed) "special message" that, for the most part, sounded a familiar tune. So why does religion-journalism watchdog Terry Mattingly think the media dropped the ball by not focusing on this "crucial" statement? Does this look new to you?
Beginning in March 2012, in United for Religious Freedom, we identified three basic problems with the HHS mandate: it establishes a false architecture of religious liberty that excludes our ministries and so reduces freedom of religion to freedom of worship; it compels our ministries to participate in providing employees with abortifacient drugs and devices, sterilization, and contraception, which violates our deeply-held beliefs; and it compels our faithful people in business to act against our teachings, failing to provide them any exemption at all.
This is more or less what the USCCB has been saying since the original, onerous form of the mandate dropped. The bishops restate their plan to pursue relief legislatively (not going anywhere) and judicially (maybe going somewhere). We've heard this before.
This new statement has nothing to say about the Obama administration's revision of the mandate, which allows dioceses, churches, parish schools, etc. to opt out completely. That is, such institutions are not required to provide contraception coverage to their employees--and their employees are not eligible to receive free contraception coverage from a third party. "Accommodated" institutions (such as Catholic hospitals and universities) you'll recall, do not have to contract for contraception coverage, but their employees can receive it from a third party at no cost to them.
No news there.
Nor does the statement take up the difficult question of how emergency contraception can act as an abortifacient. The bishops just keep asserting that the mandate forces their ministries "to participate in providing" their employees with "abortifacient drugs." (Never mind that every time they make a payment to a major insurance provider, they're "participating in" providing actual abortion coverage to any number of women.) That makes it sound like the mandate includes coverage for RU-486. It doesn't. It covers FDA-approved forms of emergency contraception, Plan B and Ella. The former doesn't seem to have any abortifacient properties. Indeed, in 2007 the current head of the USCCB Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty allowed Catholic hospitals in his state to dispense Plan B to rape victims). And the USCCB's own Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health-care Services allows that rape victims "may be treated with medications that would prevent ovulation, sperm capacitation, or fertilization." What about Ella? Recent studies do not conclusively show that it works as an abortifacient. But the bishops keep saying the mandate includes coverage for abortion drugs.
Again, not news. The bishops have been mum on this question from day one.
Yet Mattingly is miffed that outlets like the Baltimore Sun and the New York Times haven't paid more attention to this statement. "For those who want to know what the bishops had to say," he writes, "I would suggest doing what serious news readers have been doing for sometime now when it comes to the nuts and bolts of Catholic life." He continues in the comment thread: "It is news that they decided to fight on--which means the side of the argument willing to accept the compromise lost. That's VERY important in the worlds of Catholic higher education and hospitals."
Yes, let us muster every ounce of seriousness we can and reflect for a moment on the "nuts and bolts of Catholic life." Such reflection might produce the insight that Catholic bishops do not control the vast majority of Catholic colleges and hospitals. Most of those institutions are controlled by lay boards and sponsored by religious orders. And many of them have been providing contraception coverage to employees for quite some time. Perhaps the "serious news readers" might do some homework and educate the less serious readers among us about just whom the USCCB is fighting for.
Of course, there is some news in the USCCB's statement. But Mattingly misses it.
As the government's implementation of the mandate against us approaches, we bishops stand united in our resolve to resist this heavy burden and protect our religious freedom. Even as each bishop struggles to address the mandate, together we are striving to develop alternate avenues of response to this difficult situation.
That's episcopal-speak for, "Each bishop can do as he pleases." In other words: not all bishops want to follow the Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty all the way to the Supreme Court. It doesn't take much seriousness to know that some bishops have even expressed cautious optimism about the latest form of the mandate--just the will to Google.

Since the last time Commonweal visited this subject, the Obama administration has proved its serial incompetence in the matter of health care insurance reform. And let me admit, up front, I never had much hope for Obamacare, but it was obviously going to be better than what we had. Issuing everyone worry beads would be better than what we had.
The Obama administration, obviously, was not ready for prime time. Let everyone who thinks salvation will come from a one and three-fourths term governor of New Jersey, or a two-thirds term senator from Texas or anyone currently occupying the 24 hour news cycle's attention, ponder that.
But now everyone from E. J. Dionne to David Brooks, who had been saying that the start of Obamacare was inevitatble for weal or woe, is starting to use the word "if." The bishops ought to be reassessing instead of reasserting. The alternative to Obamacare is no longer something that might be worked out between the House and Senate. It is a return to the system that left 40+ million Americans (and growing) without health insurance and no chance in the foreseeable future to change that system. John Boehner, Addison McConnell and Ted Cruz et al can live comfortably with that outcome on their consciences, but I -- who didn't think much of the overall plan in the first place -- wonder how the bishops can live with their complicity on their consciences.
It would bother me.
I don't see any change in the bishops' thoughts about Obamacare, but yesterday there was an interesting political win for part of Obamacare. Vince McAllister, a very conservative Republican, won a seat in the U. S. House. He was against Obamacare generally but, unlike Gov. JIndal, he is for reforming Obamacare, specifically he wants to accept more Medicaid help for the poor. The loser was endorsed by the Tea Party. (McAllister was endorsed by Duck Dynasty Phil and Willie Robertson, which probably helped :-) McAllister also urged more civility in politics, a point which the bishops' should note.
Oops, that's VANCE McAllister. (Gotta get the good guys names right.)
The Bishops' views on contraception, abortion, same-sex marriage, and religious liberty are imbedded in lawsuits they have filed, or promoted, or endorsed. The lawsuits are not going away, and certainly not those filed by the bishops themselves. So long as the judicial proceedings are kept alive, the periodic messages from the USCCB can only confirm their position as reflected in the court cases.
Tom - I have nearly always found your remarks helpful. Not this time. I have a neo-con aquaintance who is convinced FDR and his buds played a significant role in instigating WWII. Do you think he may have a point?
To suggest Obama is soley if not primarily responsible for the challenges we face in implementing the ACA is not merely glib it is stunningly unhelpful. Why? It is a remark located more than a bit away from reality.
Perhaps this will help.
As for the continued absolutism from the bishop's club I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone who truly believes Christ's life, teachings and death were a call for a new beginning would bother to heed the utter nonsense of an ancient order of elderly men renowned for "preaching" from high places while dressed in high hats, fine robes and fancy shoes. If such behavior is not a slap in Christ's face I have no idea what would be.
I agree with Grant - more of the same.
MightBe, FDR didn't attack Pearl Harbor an BHO wasn't born in Kenya. However, BHO did choose to attempt to reach universal health care coverage through the Republican template, devised at the Heritage Foundation and put into practice in one state as Romneycare. This is very close to the Swiss approach. What Romney coudn't do, and BHO chose not to do, is something the Swiss do -- impose limits on health care and insurance prices. (Hiss, boo, socialism among the Swiss bankers! Egad. Swoon.) That was BHO mistake #1.
He committed it to get Rs aboard but they simply called their plan socialism. That should have been a clue that he should do it right rather than settle for bipartisan stew. He had a plan the Ds didn't particularly prefer, and he needed them to defend it against his enemies who were the real authors of the plan.
Then he screwed up further by taking a plan that inevitably includes losers and winners -- as all insurance does (you buy it, you die before you get sick and need it, you lose) -- and selling it as something that would make everybody happy because if you were happy already you could keep it. That was misleading (to put it gently) because all kind of pain was coming with the good stuff.
Finally, instead of making sure it had the best computer site ever created, his team hired the lowest connected bidders and trusted them. And they performed about as well as Cheney's no-bid contractors performed in free, democratic and happy Iraq. He should have had one of his big contributing buds from Silicon valley riding herd on whoever executed the contract.
So, yes, your implication is right that Addison Mitchell McConnell and the Rs in Congress have been utterly obstructionist since Jan. 20, 2009. And their governors -- prominent among them my own -- have been even more egregious. But they are rubbing salt into self-inflicted wounds.
Tom B. --
Pres. Obama's biggest mistake was assuming that a mid-western governer with mediocre administrative talents and with little or no understanding of gigantic computer systems was capable of ordering up and supervising the construction of such a complex system from scratch. The needed specialized technology was, as you point out, in the West. Washington didn't seem to appreciate that fact.
One ignores technological developments at one's peril.
Grant: You say the bishops' conference has been silent regarding evidence about the abortifacient potential of some items approved by the FDA as "contraceptive." At the outset we need to understand that, in a Catholic context, an abortifacient includes a drug or device that interferes with the survival of a new human life at any time before birth, including the time between fertilization and implantation. Actually the Conference's comment letters to HHS have cited ample documentation on the abortifacient potential of the FDA-approved drug Ella (ulipristal). The European Medicines Agency, Europe's counterpart to the FDA, has said this drug works the same was as the abortion drug RU-486 and is "embryotoxic at low doses." See www.usccb.org, Office of General Counsel, "Rulemaking," comment letters of August 2011 and March 2013 (page 5 of each letter). Because of the evidence that Ella can cause an abortion both before and after implantation, its manufacturer says it is not to be used by a woman who is or may be pregnant. As for the drug known as "Plan B" (levonorgestrel), thre New York Times last June claimed it has no abortifacient effect -- though that conclusion is contradicted by some recent studies. But even the Times claimed there is a medical consensus that another "emergency contraceptive," the copper IUD, "can work to prevent pregnancy after an egg has been fertilized." That device is also covered by the HHS mandate. Ironically, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, which supports "abortion rights" and the HHS mandate, has declared that if the law recognized the embryonic human being as a "person" from fertilization onward, that could prohibit "some of the most effective and reliable forms of contraception, such as oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and other forms of FDA-approved hormonal contraceptives." ACOG's implication is that ALL these drugs and devices attack the embryo after fertilization -- a far more sweepingh claim than anything the bishops' conference has said.
I wrote, "Nor does the statement take up the difficult question of how emergency contraception can act as an abortifacient." The how of it is what I'm talking about (not IUDs). The August 2011 USCCB letter footnotes a 1996 study of thirty-six macaques. Almost all studies of ella have not had human subjects. I've only found one that examined ella's mechanism of action in women, and its sample size was fifty-six. As far as I can tell, at very high doses, ella has effects on the endometrium that could prevent ovulation. But whether that's the case with the prescribed dose (30 mg) has not been conclusively demonstrated.
I'm not familiar with recent studies demonstrating the abortifacient properties of Plan B. The USCCB's own Ethical and Religious directives allow its administration to rape victims.
You didn't include the rest of the sentence from that EMA document. The whole thing reads, "As expected, ulipristal acetate is embryotoxic at low doses, when given to rats and rabbits in repeated doses at gestation days 6-17 or 6-18 respectively." Rats and rabbits, not humans--and at repeated doses. Aspirin is also embryotoxic at high repeated doses.
My point is not that ella definitely will not cause abortions, only that the rhetoric of the bishops conference on these "abortion drugs" exaggerates what's actually known about ella's mechanism of action.
Grant: Actually your article said the bishops "just keep asserting" the abortifacient concern but have always been "mum" on the evidence. That charge was not true. Now you want to discuss whether the evidence is "conclusive" in humans. That standard is difficult to meet for any drug or device, as direct human testing would be grossly immoral and there is no direct test for whether fertilization has occurred in a woman's body in a given case. Despite those limitations, the evidence is strong for Ella and the copper IUD, more disputed for "Plan B." The bishops' comment letters cite just a few of the many medical sources on this. For example, a recent (2/13/10) article in The Lancet, world's most prestigious medical journal, states: "The mechanism of action of mifepristone [RU-486] has been extensively studied and the striking similarity with ulipristal [Ella] suggests a similar mechanism of action for both." When human life is at stake, the burden of proof is on those wanting to dismiss such findings. You respond by linking to an unsupported quote from a former federal official, who repeats the government's claim that killing an embryo before implantation is not an "abortion" anyway. This means: If a drug comes forward that you and everyone else agrees works ONLY by producing embryo death at that stage, FDA could still approve it as a "contraceptive" and it would then automatically become part of the HHS mandate. Finally, it is not true to say that the bishops' Ethical Directives approve Plan B. They state the moral principle about not attacking new life at any time after fertilization, realizing that the principle's application to particular drugs or devices must always be reassessed in light of new facts. And in fact, the bishops' letters to HHS made no claim about Plan B's mode of action. In short, I think it might be time for us to move on.
That's because the bishops do just keep asserting that ella is an abortifacient, or is an "abortion drug." That is sloppy rhetoric. Is it your position that ella's mechanism of action (which is twofold: it seems to delay ovulation and curtail endometrial development) is so similar to RU-486 that it must be an abortifacient, but we can't really approve of finding out, because testing humans would be immoral? There already has been at least one study, as I mentioned. And it doesn't conclude that ella is an abortifacient.
This is what the USCCB Ethical Directives say: "If, after appropriate testing, there is no evidence that conception has occurred already, she [a rape victim] may be treated with medications that would prevent ovulation, sperm capacitation, or fertilization." Are we supposed to believe that does not apply to Plan B--a drug that the current head of the Ad Hoc Committee on Religios Liberty, Archbishop Lori, when he was a member of the Connecticut Catholic Conference, allowed Catholic hospitals to administer to rape victims, in accordance with state law?

Hi Gus:

my .bashrc contained

. /opt/intel/cce/10.1.022/bin/iccvars.sh
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Because I understand that I am messing something, I saved a copy of
the original .bashrc and replaced the dot with "source". Of course,
everything came out as above,
I sincerely apologize to bother the list.

Automating the Last Mile of Finance
The term "financial close" describes a corporation's ability to complete its accounting cycles and produce financial statements for internal management and external legal reporting. The requirement to close books quickly and with quality is a key indicator for the success of a company's finance function. Recently, there has been an increasing focus on automating the "last mile of finance" with disclosure management solutions, to manage the production, filing, and publication of financial statements and reports, driven in part by the increasing global mandates for companies to submit electronic filings in the XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) format. This half-day seminar will focus on trends, issues, and strategies for accelerating the financial close, with a concentration on automating the financial and regulatory disclosure processes.
Faculty Include:
Jon Church, Managing Director, cundus Inc.
George Neal, Sr. Director, Center of Excellence, SAP America
Muthu Rangnathan, Director, SAP America
Mike Willis, Partner, PwC

How big should your emergency fund be?
It's officially winter, and there's nothing I appreciate more at this moment in time than the heated seats on my beautiful Ford Fusion leased car. Heated seats are arguably one of the best things ever created, especially when you live in Michigan. Every time I turn them on, I can't help but feel fortunate when I remember the unreliable car that I was driving at this time last year.
One day, I was driving down a major road when my brakes stopped working. I was going slowly because something about my car didn't feel quite right. When I pulled up to a stoplight, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor; the car wouldn't stop but it did slow down slightly. It was only braking with about half of the power it normally had.
With panic, determination, and a lot of tears, I made it to the nearest auto mechanic without crashing. As it turned out, one of the brake lines on my 12-year-old car had rusted through. The repair bill was about $600 – and so I continued to panic.
My savings account didn't have enough funds to get the car fixed, but since I couldn't be without a car, I put the majority of the bill on my credit card. I was working in a part-time retail job at that time, so $600 was a pretty hefty bill – and I ended up paying a bunch of interest on that car repair.
Since then, I've learned to save money for emergencies. You never know what could happen; you could lose your job, get in an accident, or have a medical emergency or home disaster. Having an emergency fund is one way to help yourself feel and be more financially secure, especially if you're a homeowner. So how big should that emergency fund be? Here are some things to consider when you're sizing up your financial cushion.
Fixed expenses. This is one of the most important factors to consider, especially since you could lose your home if you don't have enough money to cover your rent or mortgage payments. Calculate all of your important fixed expenses, like the mortgage, insurance and utilities. If you have credit card debt or loans, add up the minimum monthly payments you must make on each and factor that total into your fund.
Other expenses. Don't underestimate the amount of money you spend on "other stuff" each month. Think about expenses like food and gas. Calculate the average amount you spend on a monthly basis, and prepare accordingly. This can be complicated to figure out, so I highly recommend using financial apps like Mint.com or PageOnce. They calculate your spending based on charges to your credit cards and bank accounts, so it will be easier to see where your money is going.
Types of income. Are you a one-income household or two? Do you get income from a pension or Social Security? If you're reliant on just one income, you'll need to save a bit more than someone who has extra income or Social Security dollars to fall back on. For instance, a two-income family might only need to save three months of living expenses, whereas a one-income family might need six to nine.
Your job field. Think about the type of job that you have. If you work in a highly specialized field where it's not easy to find a job, you might need to save a little bit more. If you're confident about your ability to find a new job quickly, you won't need such a big fund to get you through tough times.
Your insurance deductibles. I pray every day that I won't get in a car accident because I can't afford to be in one. Since I'm under 25, my car insurance rates are through the roof. To keep costs down, I elected a super high deductible. Therefore, my emergency fund has to be big enough to cover the cost of the deductible if I was ever in a car accident. As a general rule, you should always keep enough money in your emergency fund to be able to pay your biggest deductible. If your biggest deductible is $1,000, you'll need at least that amount to make use of the insurance policy that you're paying for.
Your liquid funds. According to Daria Giron from Technorati Finance, your emergency fund doesn't necessarily have to be a savings account. Cash is nice to have on hand, but funds that could be easily liquidated in an emergency will do just as well to get you through in a pinch. Stocks and mutual assets, and in some cases, CD accounts, can act as emergency funds. Bear in mind that lines of credit DO NOT qualify as emergency funds. The point of having an emergency fund is to avoid debt in an emergency. Thus, credit cards defeat the whole purpose of emergency funds since you'll end up in debt, and likely be paying a whole bunch of interest for months after the situation happens.
Your dependents. Children need a stable home. Job loss or other emergency situations have a tendency to make homes not-so-stable. Therefore, you should add more money to your emergency fund to allow your children the stability they need to feel happy and safe. For instance, do they have private school tuition that needs to be covered? Do they need money to participate in after-school programs? You might have to cut back more now to achieve a bigger emergency fund, but it will be well worth it if anything happens so that you can afford to have consistency in your children's lives.
Your other financial goals. Having a large emergency cushion is a great feeling. But having a too-large fund might not be the best use of your resources. If you've achieved your savings goal and feel confident about the amount of money in your bank account or other assets, go ahead and start putting money toward your other life goals. Put it into your house, your retirement fund, or use it to pay down debts. You'll be glad you did.
Blanket rules like "save three months' worth of expenses" don't necessarily work for everyone. There's no easy way to figure out how much you'll need simply because you never know what will happen. By calculating your individual needs honestly, you'll be able to save yourself a big headache in the future.


text: Here is a good example of your traditional zombie face. The void out shark eyes, the slimy skin, and the sharp shredding teeth. These face frontal lessons are so helpful because you can literally learn "how to draw a zombie face", then use what you just learned and combine a head and a body together to get a full zombie. I have drawn so many zombies over the years, so making another one is not a bog deal to me. But I know you guys like these lessons because a lot of the requests that I get mention something about a zombie. Anyways, enjoy this tutorial, and wait for me to return with some more drawing fun!

Why laundry dry up also in cold/frost? When you have frost, water in the clothes should freeze, but if clothes are dry, then it should be possible that steam in the clothes does not have time to freeze.
Probably because, initially, the clothes and the liquid water trapped in the clothes fibres, are both at a temperature well above 0 C.
And it does, when the temperature of the garment and water trapped within it have eventually reduced to below 0 C
If clothes are already dry, the situation is not relevant to your question of how (wet) clothes become dry (or dryer) when air temperatures are below 0 C.
If you move warm wet clothes into a cold environment for a sufficiently short time, the water will indeed not have time to freeze. The temperature of the majority of water will not be sufficiently reduced.
Left longer in air at a temperature below 0 C the liquid water in the clothes will freeze and any water vapour in the clothes will form frost.
It is called sublimation. It is how ice cubes disappear in the freezer.

Interactive Laser Pet Toy for $20
Provide hours of fun and indoor exercise for your cat or dog with this innovative laser toy that will move your pet in multiple ways. Hold the toy in hand or let it stand on a flat surface, and watch your pet pounce and chase the varied laser patterns.
All thanks to @lll0228 for finding this site...which is awesome. Shipping and tax varies based on location.
5 Comments add a comment
This and the candles for dogs got me laughing so hard. Btw, my cat LOVES this (I had to buy her one, she has been good).
@lll0228: i have this (bought on amazon) but i found the angle of the laser is awkward. you may have to play around with it to get it just right. the mirror inside moves so you can adjust the laser and i have mine maxed to point to the floor but i still have to place it really high up to get it to point down
anyway, not saying i don't recommend it. just the design needs tweaking. my cats love it and go crazy for it, it's just hard to follow when it's up on the walls so much
Amazon has the same thing for $14
@hate2w84u: thx, should have checked that myself
@w00tgurl: Yeah, I maxed out mine's range, too; but I have a few very tall CD racks and it points down from there. :)
