Sara Majkowski ('14), front right, and fellow members of Catholics in Action
Less than one year since her graduation, Sara Majkowski ('14) is living just outside of Phoenix, where she is an educator by day and — in her spare time — she is learning the ropes of film production and finance.
This entrée to the movie business comes as a surprise. Like several other recent graduates, Miss Majkowski went to Phoenix to teach in the city's rapidly expanding consortium of Great Hearts charter academies, classical schools that are, as she puts it, "very academically rigorous, with high standards in terms of behavior and academics." But upon settling into her new city, she found herself a church — St. Anne's in Gilbert — with ties to an emerging lay apostolate, Catholics in Action.
Directed by the pastor of St. Anne's, Rev. Sergio Muñoz Fita, Catholics in Action is an American offshoot of Catholic Action, an international apostolate of the Secular Institute Servi Trinitatis. CIA, as it is known, is "about lay people obtaining sanctity in their lives as lay people," Miss Majkowski explains. "We pray together in adoration. We receive spiritual formation. We reach out to the community, the poor, and young people who need formation, everything Christ directs us to do."
Although a new member, Miss Majkowski is already heavily involved in CIA and its good works. She is helping to organize a trip to the 2016 World Youth Day in Poland, and she is busily raising funds for an upcoming film, Footprints.
The genesis of Footprints came about last summer, when two groups from St. Anne's — one men, one women — made 40-day pilgrimages along Spain's Camino de Santiago de Compostela. A camera crew accompanied the men's group, obtaining footage for a film that aims, Miss Majkowski says, "to document their spiritual experience, undergoing psychological trials and harsh physical demands." There will be a premier screening in June and a general release, they expect, within a year. "I'm working on raising funds to complete production through a Kickstarter campaign, selling merchandise, approaching businesses, and spreading the word," she says.
Meanwhile, Miss Majkowski thrives at Arete Preparatory Academy in Gilbert, where she teaches history and Latin to elementary-school students. "There is so much that goes into teaching — finding ways to make the lessons 'stick,' holding students' attention, being responsible with grading, working with parents, and planning events," she says. "I like it. I like it a lot."
The video above comes from this year's Easter Vigil Mass, offered by His Holiness Pope Francis in St. Peter's Basilica. Chanting the Exsultet is a graduate of the College, Frater Jacob, O.Praem. (Joseph Hsieh '06).
A Norbertine canon and a transitional deacon, Frater Jacob is currently studying theology and music at the Norbertine Generalte in Rome. He is due to return stateside in time for his ordination to the priesthood on June 27.
Exsúltet iam angélica turba cælórum:
Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven,
Alleluia, alleluia, He is risen!
The Catholic News Agency reports that the chart-topping Benedictine Sisters of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, are releasing a new album in time for the paschal season, Easter at Ephesus. For three years in a row, the community, which is based in Gower, Missouri, has been the best-selling artist on Billboard's "Classical Traditional" list. Two of the nuns, Sr. Mary Josefa of the Eucharist, OSB (Kathleen Holcomb '07), and Sr. Sophia Eid, OSB ('08), are alumnae of the College.
Following the success of past albums Lent at Ephesus, Angels and Saints at Ephesus, and Advent at Ephesus, Easter at Ephesus features 27 tracks, in both English and Latin, including traditional hymns, original compositions, and chants. The compilation, the order's mother superior tells the Catholic News Agency, is "a snapshot of the music our community sings already throughout the season in our little chapel."
The album is available via iTunes, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the community's website.
- Alumnae Sisters Appear on "CBS Sunday Morning" (April 23, 2014)
Following yesterday's post about alumnus Mark Langley ('89), who is brewing a batch of beer this Lent, is a story about Sean Kramer ('86), who, throughout these 40 days and nights, is teaching middle-school students to paint icons.
The subject of a recent profile in his native city's archdiocesan newspaper, Catholic San Francisco, Mr. Kramer is an iconographer and teacher at the New Hampshire Institute of Art. For the past six years he has offered Lenten classes in iconography at St. Patrick School in Portsmouth, thanks to funding from the local council of the Knights of Columbus.
"As one works on an icon, one is working on oneself, realizing oneself as a more complete image of God," Mr. Kramer told Catholic San Francisco. "The materials and steps in making an icon are all symbolic of levels of ourselves and the stages of our transformation." The story notes that Mr. Kramer opens each class with a prayer asking God, the saints, and the angels to "help us make these holy icons images that will remind us and those who see them of God's presence and love for us.'"
"I do not see a flickering candle at the end of this year's Lenten journey," writes alumnus Mark Langley ('89) on his blog, Lion & Ox. "No, I see a burst of glory and the veritable Super Nova, that is Christ's Resurrection from the tomb, and what's more, I also see over two cases of a very fine pale ale, some of which will enable me to celebrate that Resurrection with more propriety."
The founder and the academic dean of The Lyceum, a classical school in Cleveland, Ohio, Mr. Langley is also a husband, a father of 12, and an amateur brewer. In this last capacity, he has detected a relationship between his faith and his hobby. "Lent was specifically designed for brewing beer," Mr. Langley writes. "The reason for this is obvious. Beer takes exactly 40 days (more or less) to ferment and grow from a weak sweet slop of 'wort' into a fine, noble, life-giving, heart-cheering, spiritually-enhancing liquid — whose foam raises itself in the glass as does incense in the chapel."
And so, at the start of Lent, Mr. Langley began a new batch of English pale ale that will be ready precisely on Easter Sunday. "Of course we fast and pray for forty days first primarily in imitation of our Lord," he observes. "But the same period of time is also roughly speaking an ideal space for brewing beer, and therefore I think it is obvious that this is a fitting thing for Christians to do in the first week of Lent."
To read more of Mr. Langley's musings on Lenten brewing, read the full post on his blog.
On Wednesday evening the College's Office of Career Services hosted a visit from Anthony Grumbine ('00), a design associate at Harrison Design in Santa Barbara, California. A graduate of the master's program at the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, Mr. Grumbine spoke about the state of architecture and the employment prospects for would-be architects today. He also discussed Notre Dame's architecture program, calling it "the best thing going," and telling the College's students that, because of their classical background, they "have a great advantage at getting into it." Read the full story.

The photo above shows the Most Rev. Kevin William Vann, Bishop of Orange, at the ordination of Frater Jacob (Joseph Hsieh '06, left), O.Praem., to the transitional diaconate. The ordination took place on June 21 at the Mission San Juan Capistrano.
Shortly thereafter Frater Jacob, a seminarian with the Norbertine Fathers at St. Michael's Abbey in Silverado, California, departed for the Eternal City. "I am at the Norbertine Generalte, the place where Norbertines from all over the world stay to study in Rome," he writes. "I'm here to study theology and music for a year, then I will go back and teach chant at the Abbey."
Yet that is not Frater Jacob's biggest news. "My ordination to the priesthood will be, God willing, on June 27, 2015 — less than a year away!" he adds. "Pray for me!"

"We have books and catechism classes to educate the mind, but the heart is captivated above all by the majesty and mystery of divine worship."
So writes Dr. Peter Kwasniewski ('94) — a professor of theology and philosophy, an instructor of music, and the choirmaster at Wyoming Catholic College — at Corpus Christi Watershed, where he blogs regularly. As the above quote suggests, the liturgy, its music in particular, is near and dear to Dr. Kwasniewski's heart — so much so that he has recently authored Sacred Choral Works, a book containing 20 years of his musical compositions for the sacred liturgy. Complementing the book are three CDs featuring recordings of nearly all the compositions, so as to facilitate their learning for choir directors and members alike:
"Without the Bread of Life, there is eternal death for us," Dr. Kwasniewski continues. "That is why, as long as the New Evangelization means what it should ― the proclamation of the truth that Jesus is Lord and there is salvation in no one else, either for the individual or for society ― it will also always and everywhere begin and end in the sacraments, and in particular, the Most Blessed Sacrament, in which, says St. Thomas, the common good of the entire universe is found."
17, 2014
On a recent episode of EWTN's Life on the Rock, the show's young viewers heard some music and words of wisdom from several members of the Thomas Aquinas College community. Appearing on the show was the Hope and Justin Band, named for Thomas Aquinas College Regent Justin Schneir and his wife, Hope. Backing up Mr. and Mrs. Schneir were three recent graduates of the College: Sean Wood ('13) on the fiddle, Daniel Bagdazian ('13) on the bass guitar, and Gabriel Bagdazian ('14) on the keyboard. (Band appears at the 8:40 mark in the video below.)
In the episode Mr. and Mrs. Schneir described how their band came into being when various friends — including several students of the College — would visit their Camarillo home for Tuesday-night jam sessions. From thence sprung the music that, the band's members hope, will evangelize audiences with its simple focus on the true, the good, and the beautiful.
Toward the end of the show, the hosts interviewed Mr. Wood, who discussed how he wrote about this theme of evangelization through the arts for his Senior Thesis at the College. "My thesis was basically how an encounter with beauty can lead us to God, tracing the thought from Plato up to Thomas Aquinas, to John Paul II and von Balthasar," he said. "Those encounters really open our heart to become receptive to God's love. And I think they're really necessary in order for a true conversion, and in order to really see the Faith as something not merely worth following, but worth giving your life for."
Music that is "authentically human," Mr. Wood continued, can show us "what the human condition is, and see that we are made for so much more."
Frater Jacob (Joseph Hsieh '06, left) and Frater Simeon (Charles Goodwin '10, second from right), joined by 12 of their Norbertine confreres, performed at Los Angeles's Disney Concert Hall on May 4, where they assisted Grammy Award-winning organist Paul Jacobs in presenting Bach's Clavier-Übung III.
Fraters Jacob and Simeon are seminarians with the Norbertine Canons in Silverado, Calif., where they sing in the Abbey Choir. Mr. Jacobs, chair of the organ department at the Juilliard School, invited the choir to sing the chorale melodies of the German Missa Brevis at his concert. According to an article on the Norbertines' website, the organist "was particularly interested that music written originally for religious purposes should be sung by a schola of religious." Jacobs and the Norbertines performed the two hour-long work from memory, without intermission, drawing "an instant standing ovation from the packed house afterward."

The audio output port on my laptop just broke and I can no longer use it for my headphones. Does anyone know of a way I can route the sound output through the input instead?
You can try HDA-analyzer
The HDA analyzer tool provides a graphical interface to access the raw HD-audio control, based on pyGTK2 binding. The program gives you an easy-to-use GUI stuff for showing the widget information and adjusting the amp values, as well as the proc-compatible output.
This tool can parse also proc files (/proc/asound/card#/codec*) and output from alsa-info.sh script and monitor mode

I recently bought a minivan that has 110V power outlets. I'd like to use my laptop in the van sometimes (not as the driver, of course), but my laptop has a three prong grounded plug, and the outlet is two prong.
What problems might I experience if I use a cheater plug (three prong to two prong adapter)? Why does a laptop need earth ground?

5.0 stars 6 totalReview Alfred Freitas
Posted by jeff
He's honest, upfront, attentive and no bullshit. I heartily recommend this lawyer. You might not get to stay, but he got me 4 months free and some time to deal with this. In hindsight, money well spent. I made the right decision hiring Alfred.
Posted by Rod
I contacted Attorney Freitas to discuss my case and he was very attentive and helpful. He wasn't pushy at all. He listened attentively, asked questions and provided me with quality feedback. He seems like a very honest person to deal with because he never pushed his fees upfront like other attorneys do. I know good customer service when I see it, and this was excellent!
Posted by Karen
Mr. Freitas is a knowledgeable experienced lawyer. He is attentive and a good listener.
He was responsive and solved my tenant problem. His knowledge of the law is extensive.
Posted by Dana
Mr. Freitas came highly recommended by a friend who's mother had used him previously. He clearly explained every step of the process to me, enabling me to make clear and educated decisions. His knowledge is extensive and manner very patient and understanding. He made himself available each time I called and continued to work with me until all questions were answered. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Freitas or ask for his services again.
Posted by a Landlord & Tenant client
Mr. Freitas and I had a 15-20 minute conversation regarding my situation of my home I've been renting for the past 6 1/2 years. With the knowledge and experience he has, he was able to give sound advice and helped ease the daily pressure I live through as a tenant and a DISABLED person, who has always paid rent on time. I would recommend Mr. Freitas to anyone with an eviction notice.
Posted by Noe
Mr. Freitas has successfully assisted both my family and my clients with evictions. He explains meticulously what is needed and how he will proceed. He is great to work with; he returns call as soon as possible, keeps you updated as to the progress of the case/s and makes the whole process easy and understandable. I would highly recommend him to handle any eviction. www.noepinac21.com

CeBIT 2010: IBM's Fifth x86 Generation Sets New Standards
Much more working memory, Flash drives instead of conventional hard disks, and physically partitioning multiprocessor systems. These are some of the new features of IBM's fifth generation of x86 architecture: eX5 servers.
More virtualized hosts, larger workloads for virtual machines and especially large databases have one thing in common: they are memory hogs. Up to now the maximum amount of working memory was pegged to the number of CPUs. The new IBM architecture raises the bar. Three new server systems, the X3850 X5 (high end), X3690 X5 (entry level) and the Blade Center HX5 were presented March 2 to the public in a CeBIT preview. These systems provide double the previous maximum working memory. According to IBM, they should support the same number of virtual machines at half the cost, or 82 percent more VMs. The latter would drastically reduce the Hypervisor license costs for CPU-bound licensing.
The new server systems replace conventional hard drives with Flash memory. A single Flash slot, per IBM, with 450,000 I/O operations per second can deliver as much performance as four racks with 800 hard disks, with a 97 percent cost savings and only 1 percent of the power consumption. Finally, the physical partitioning allows transforming a four-processor system into two dual cores, which has further licensing cost benefits.
IBM sees the newest generation models as the exact solution in the context of sinking budgets, increasing complexity and higher demands made on IT.

If I make some comments on a question that guide the OP towards an answer, and then post an answer which is basically a copy-paste collage of my own comments, should I then delete the comments? I suppose they become redundant once the answer is posted, and I don't know if they serve much of a purpose anymore.
As suggested in the comments, if your comments don't add any value that hasn't already been added by your answer, then feel free to delete them.
It is not a requirement that you do so, but it is helpful. If you decide to do nothing, then some other users may flag your comments or the comments on the entire post for cleanup, if they're no longer useful. However, this does not reflect negatively on you.
In fact, most of the veteran users here would cleanup their own obsolete comments, since such comments only serve as a distraction from the primary content of this question and answer site: questions and answers.

SBC wins 2016 Southwest Regional, advances to Babe Ruth World Series
Tuesday night, Sylacauga, Ala., gave Southern Brazoria County their first loss of the 2016 13-15-year-old Southwest Regional tournament, but in order to win the title, Sylacauga would have to do it twice. By defeating SBC on Tuesday, Sylacauga forced another game that was played Wednesday morning, but this time the results were different. SBC beat Sylacauga by a final score of 5-3.

This is probably an easy answer as I'm probably doing something wrong. I'm a fairly new WP user.
I've downloaded and installed the plugin, and it seemed to be working fine. I uploaded images successfully and the appeared as expected on the homepage as a slideshow.
However, I needed to resize my images to display better. I went to upload the new images after deleting the old ones, and my settings options all went away. The message "Image(s) Added Successfully" appears but no thumbnails, form fields appear.
Here's a screenshot of what my "WP-Cycle Settings" page looks like.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin. I've cleared my cache and cookies. Logged in and out of the WordPress site.
What am I doing wrong?
PS. I'm not sure if this is a factor, but when I was playing around with resizing the original photos, I removed the values in the photo dimension box, leaving the fields blank.

Sir.—The editorial remarks by Dr Pruitt1 were thoughtful, incisive, and important. However, inadequate medical care is only half the problem. The stresses in our social system that cause "pediatric social illness" are destroying the lives of our children.
This is the stated goal of pediatrics: "for every child a warm and accepting family and the opportunity to develop to the full potential of his or her Godgiven talents."
For the past eight years, I have interviewed 500 young men and women per month, all of whom were applicants for the armed services of our country. Most of them enjoyed generally good health, and from their histories one was able to conclude that their health care ranged from adequate to excellent. Still, a large number were leading lives in complete disarray and disorganization and were doomed to live out their existence dependent on assisted living or to become involved

Ithaca Energy Seen Turning Korean With 70% Deal Profit: Real M&A
Ithaca Energy Inc.'s shareholders are poised to secure a 70 percent windfall by enticing companies from Korea National Oil Corp. to EnQuest Plc with the promise of the cheapest oil in the North Sea.
Shares of Ithaca, which received a non-binding takeover proposal in January, surged to a four-year high last week after saying it had been approached by more potential buyers. The Calgary-based company still traded yesterday at 5.45 times estimates for earnings next year, less than 97 percent of comparable explorers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Ithaca is attracting interest as an embargo of Iranian oil and stronger global growth pushed Brent crude to its highest price in three years. Casimir Capital projects that Ithaca will boost North Sea output fivefold by 2013 and is worth C$3.75 a share as an independent company, which traded at C$2.20 before the January announcement. In a takeover, Korea National Oil, which expanded in the North Sea after acquiring Dana Petroleum Plc in 2010, and EnQuest, owner of a well with Ithaca, are among the most probable buyers, RBC Capital Markets said.
Potential acquirers can "buy a company that has done all the heavy lifting," Irwin Michael, a Toronto-based money manager at ABC Funds, which oversees about $1 billion and owns Ithaca shares, said in a telephone interview. "It's not easy operating in the North Sea. It doesn't take very much to get a few aggressive acquirers coming in and saying, 'We like that,' and suddenly getting a bidding war."
Today, Ithaca rose 2.6 percent to C$3.16 in Toronto.
Takeover Speculation
Philip Dennis, a spokesman for Ithaca, declined to comment beyond the company's statement on March 1.
Ithaca's board of directors said in the statement that it is in shareholders' interest to enter discussions with all "bona fide interested parties."
Incorporated in 2004, Ithaca explores for oil and gas at its 12 developments in the North Sea, which lies between the U.K., Norway and Denmark. Ithaca's advance started on Jan. 20, when takeover speculation began to emerge. Ithaca said on Jan. 23 that it received a confidential, non-binding offer, helping it post the biggest two-day gain in three years.
The stock rose further last week, reaching its highest price since January 2008, after Ithaca said other potential bidders expressed interest in the exploration company.
At yesterday's price of C$3.08 a share, Ithaca was valued at about 5.45 times analysts' per-share earnings estimates for 2013, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That's a discount of 55 percent to the median multiple for 169 oil and gas exploration companies with more than $500 million in market capitalization.
Strait of Hormuz
The valuation is underpinned by projections that Ithaca will earn about C$162 million ($162 million) in net income next year, three times the amount analysts had anticipated for 2011.
Kevin Shaw, a Calgary-based analyst at Casimir Capital, says Ithaca will produce 15,969 barrels of oil equivalent a day by the end of 2013, versus 3,102 barrels last year, according to a report dated Feb. 29.
Based on his estimates for the net asset value of the company's proven and probable reserves and its debt-adjusted cash flow this year and next, Ithaca is worth C$3.75 a share, or C$972 million. That's a 70 percent premium to its value before the takeover speculation and 22 percent higher than its price yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Ithaca has become more attractive as a takeover candidate, according to ABC Funds' Michael, as Iran threatened to block oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz if its own exports are blocked. The strait is the transit route for about 20 percent of the world's globally traded crude.
Iran Premium
Brent oil for April delivery, the European benchmark contract, on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange rose as high as $128.40 a barrel last week. On an intraday basis, it was the most expensive since July 2008.
Amrita Sen, a London-based analyst at Barclays Plc, said March 1 that the fuel may rise to a record $150 a barrel this year if political tensions stemming from Iran's nuclear program increase. Oil demand growth in Asia is also rising faster than current prices indicate, leaving worldwide spare capacity "extremely thin," according to Barclays.
"Quarterly averages of $140 per barrel or $150 per barrel are distinctly possible" in the second half, Sen wrote. "This is not our current base case, though it does seem to be moving closer to becoming reality."
Global economic growth will accelerate to 4.5 percent in 2013 and then expand at faster rates in each of the next three years, according to forecasts from the Washington-based International Monetary Fund.
Potential Acquirers
Korea National Oil, South Korea's state-run oil company, can acquire Ithaca to help achieve its overseas production target and expand further in the North Sea, according to James Hosie, an Edinburgh-based analyst at RBC.
South Korea, which imports almost all its oil and natural gas, plans to increase production at overseas fields to 35 percent of imported volumes by 2020, more than double the proportion last year. The energy developer, known as KNOC, plans to spend as much as $4 billion this year on buying overseas oil assets, Im Hong Geun, an executive vice president at the company, said in an interview in December.
EnQuest, which aims to boost production to more than 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day by 2014, and Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. could also acquire Ithaca, Hosie said.
Ithaca and EnQuest already work together in the North Sea, jointly owning an interest in the Crathes exploration well. Abu Dhabi National Energy, the state-run utility known as Taqa, last month bought 50 percent stakes in three oil and gas licenses in the area from Fairfield Energy Ltd.
Relative Value
"An acquirer like KNOC and Taqa and EnQuest is basically buying a self-funding add-on to their current business that gives them additional production growth in the near term," Hosie said in a telephone interview. "An industry player at this point is going to place a higher value on the business than a player in the stock market would."
Lee Za Kang, a spokesman for Anyang, South Korea-based Korea National Oil, declined to comment on whether it is interested in acquiring Ithaca. Conor McClafferty, a spokesman for London-based EnQuest, and Allan Virtanen of Taqa in Abu Dhabi said the companies don't comment on market speculation.
Stephane Foucaud, a London-based analyst at FirstEnergy Capital Corp., said he doesn't anticipate an offer higher than 209 pence, or C$3.29 a share, for the company's London-traded stock. He used cash flow estimates for each of Ithaca's assets, the cost of capital and tax losses.
Bidding Contest
The estimate is less than a 7 percent premium to Ithaca's current price, which has already more than doubled from a low of C$1.49 a share in October, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
"We don't see that much potential for the buyer to pay a big premium," Foucaud said in a telephone interview. "The acquisition premium is already worked in the share price."
Having multiple parties interested in acquiring Ithaca increases the chance that shareholders will get a higher price, according to ABC Funds' Michael.
"In many cases, the stock market is not giving full value to a lot of the work" that oil companies such as Ithaca are doing, he said. "Hopefully you get a bit of a bidding war."

You may not have any seizure symptoms when you visit your doctor's office. For this reason, it is important to enlist the help of anyone who has witnessed your seizure. Ask that person to describe exactly what they saw: what happened at the start, what happened next. Write this description down for your doctor. This description will help your doctor determine the type of seizure you had. It will also help to decide on appropriate treatment.
Having a seizure does not mean that a person has epilepsy. For example, it's common for children to have seizures associated with fever. Most children who have them do not develop epilepsy.
Your doctor will diagnose epilepsy based on:
Your history
A thorough physical examination
A thorough neurological examination
The results of an electroencephalogram (EEG)
In many cases, your doctor will also order a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the brain. Other types of brain scans also may be needed.
Your doctor may want to check whether your seizures are related to causes outside the brain. To do so, he or she may order basic lab tests. These can include blood tests, urinalysis and an electrocardiogram (EKG).

We got back from the dentist a couple of days ago and found out that the diagnodent readings said 5 y.o. DS has about 8 caries. Apparently only one has manifested in an actual cavity, whereas the other 7 are located somewhere inside the tooth (a couple I can see small gray spots, but the others show no obvious signs of decay). We've been brushing with xylitol since he was about 18 mos. Needless to say, I am very discouraged to hear the news I've been reading up on the link between caries & allergies, which I also suspected in my DS.
Anyway, I have read many recommendations for cell salts (calcarea fluorata, calcarea phosphorica, & silica) and would like to purchase some for my son to help him with his caries. However, I have no idea (nor the patience to sort through the hundreds of threads) about which concentration to purchase (30x or 6x?). Which will work better for a 5 y.o.? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Jon is a writer based in the Twin Cities. He is the founder of, and a staff writer for, Northern Pitch, Minnesota's best soccer website. He writes the Soccer Insider column for the Star Tribune on Saturdays, and also curates SoccerCentric, the startribune.com soccer blog, and is one of the hosts of The Sportive, an award-winning Minnesota sports (-ish) podcast. He's also written for the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the Minnesota Daily, and is an occasional contributor to RandBall. In the past, he's written for Twinkie Town, Canis Hoopus, and really a lot of other places.
Here is a picture of Jon, on a party bus, with internet sportswriter Aaron Gleeman and a passed-out guy:
This is now the third or fourth incarnation of this site, and so this section is getting increasingly complex. It's ridiculous, really, but here's the story, told in the third person for no good reason:
In 2003-2004, Jon was a columnist for the Minnesota Daily, the student newspaper at the University of Minnesota. His very first personal blog was launched in April of 2004, as a way to keep writing. At the time, he thoughtlessly chose the blog title "The National Anthem Before A Cubs Game," which was a reference to a Bloom County comic strip from 1984. This was later abbreviated as TNABACG, and as dumb as a title as this was, it stuck around about seven years longer than it should have.
This site started as an infrequently-updated outlet for angry ranting. It later became an often-updated home for Minnesota sports coverage, especially coverage of lesser-known local teams. But now, it serves two purposes: to link to writing at the other sites listed above, and to write about sports that are personally interesting but notable to almost no other regular readers. (Think rugby, and that sort of thing.)

i love the program & heavy duty
Product assembly was relatively easy but you need at least 1 other person to hold certain heavy parts while you align bolts, etc. Good solid treadmill. Touchscreen works great. IFit website stays pretty busy and at certain times, is difficult if not impossible to log onto. However, their website says they are working on a server upgrade. Even if you can't get onto the IFit site, the treadmill comes with several good workout programs. When I did get on the IFit site, it works well. The treadmill automatically downloads any workouts you do to the IFit site and you can download any number of workout programs to the treadmill for a varied routine. Only had it for 2 weeks and I have 4 people in the family using it, so it looks like it was a good purchase. I'm a runner and it seems good and solid when I run and the wide track works well with a runners stride. I would recommend this treadmill.
This treadmill has a 10" lcd screen and surfs the web as quick as my laptop. It is a great system. We bought two of them at the same time and one of them made an excessive amount of noise after it was set up. We called the phone number given and they not only registered our product right there, but they had someone out to fix it within less than 24 hours. The person that came out to fix/ fine tune it was amazing. Both are now perfect and we couldnt be happier.
Now if I could just figure out how to do the ifit program.....
My wife and I have only had the product for a few weeks, but we really like it. My wife uses it primarily for walking. The motor is quiet and smooth. Overall it is very nice, but I would like to see some improvement in the available "apps" for the touchscreen. It is very limited in regards to online content (which tv shows can be streamed). It would be really nice if they would incorporate the netflix app and allow netflix subscribers to watch shows via the app. I have not tried logging on to netflix and viewing movies that way, but will try that at some point. I have also found the touch screen to not be as sensitive/accurate as I would like even after calibrating it. It would also be incredibly convenient if the screen had a A/V input and a TV input. Like I said, overall, the treadmill seems great, the ifit and workout screens are all just fine.
Nice machine, fairly easy assembly but akward.
I did it with help only lifting for assembly; this could be a one man job with some mods to the, what goes where part.
One section scuffed from shipping but not enough to worry about, not returning.
Fast ship from WalMart; my first time shopping there in 20 years.
First time using, quiet, everything works as planned.

|You need to review...
|This has multiple mistakes both in the information presented and the spelling and grammar. Please be warned! Read the original wikipedia pages on topics mentioned here for much more accurate information (including citations and sources). They are much more open to mass review and thus much more likely to be correct!
How do stars form, how do they shine for such a long period of time, and how do they die?
This lesson seeks to brief the process of a star's evolution.
Stellar evolution can be described as the life and death of a star. A period that can last from a few hundred million to ten billion years depending on the size of the star. Our Sun is about 4.5 billion years old and should last into new years and eras of stellar evolution, making the sun an average star. If you were to pick a star at random there would be 1 in 15 chance of it being similar (same spectral type) to the sun. On the other hand the most likely star you would pick would be a very low mass M-type star which make up about 76% of all stars in the bounty and variety of stellar masses in our galaxy, the Milky Way.
Throughout a star's life, the star fiercely consumes its hydrogen through the process of nuclear fusion in its core, creating new and heavier elements until the star has exhausted to rest its fuel. The transference of a star's life again depends on the star's size; for example, our sun will most likely become then for eras of years beyond millions. Yet, other stars with larger and such masses, of about ten times that of our Sun's, have a chance that they may burst and throw out all of their stellar material into the surrounding space leaving behind a super-dense object called a neutron star.
Students should have a good grasp of classical physics and calculus.
Structure of the course:
- Initial Conditions
- Collapsing Gas Clouds
- The Virial Theorem
- Jeans Mass
- Kelvin-Helmholz Contraction
- Nuclear Fusion in Stars
- The proton-proton chain
Students will understand the following: 1.The stages of the evolution of a star are determined by the size (mass) of the star.
Materials required[edit]
For this lesson, you will need:
Research materials about stars and the evolution of stars
- Review what you have learned about stars so far. In the course of discussion, determine how much you know about star evolution.
- Do you fully understand the terms red giant, white dwarf, neutron star, supernova, and black hole? If not, become acquainted with the terms and understand how they relate to the evolution of stars of different sizes.
- Before continuing the activity, you should understand the following three facts:
- A star the size of our sun will burn steadily for 10 billion years, then expand to a red giant, and finally collapse into a white dwarf about the size of Earth.
- A star three or four times the sun's mass will burn steadily for a shorter time, then expand into a red giant, and finally collapse, ending up as a neutron star—a super-dense star about the size of a large city.
- A star 50 times the sun's mass will burn for an even shorter time and may blow up as a supernova before collapsing and eventually shrinking to infinity, becoming a black hole.
- Divide into three groups, each group should focus on one of the three types of stars just mentioned: a star the size of our sun, a star three or four times the sun's mass, and a star 50 times the sun's mass.
- Each student should use her or his prior knowledge and information from research to draw a carefully labeled set of diagrams illustrating the stages in the evolution of the type of star assigned to them.
- Display students' diagrams below so that the class can use them to compare the stages of evolution of the three different types of stars.
Draw a set of diagrams for all three types of stars.
Example diagram: w:Image:Sun Life.png
Discussion Questions[edit]
- Discuss why some scientists were uneasy about the idea of an expanding universe?
- Astronomer Wendy Freedman's observations of Cepheid variable stars in another galaxy indicated that the age of the universe is about eight-twelve billion years. Why did her discovery cause such a debate among astronomers? What elements of her discovery still lend themselves to argument?
- What do scientists learn by observing parts of the universe in other than the visible parts of the spectrum?
- What materials are believed to compose dark matter, and what can we learn about the universe by examining it?
Evaluations of the diagrams are as follows:
Three points: diagrams carefully prepared; labels clear and correct; diagrams accurately illustrate the star's stages of evolution
Two points: diagrams adequately prepared; some labels unclear or incorrect; diagrams accurately illustrate the star's stages of evolution
One point: diagrams carelessly prepared; labels unclear and/or incorrect; diagrams reflect some inaccurate information about the star's stages of evolution
Students can contribute to the assessment by determining how many diagrams will be required to illustrate the stages of evolution for each type of star.
- Cepheid variables, supernovae, dark matter, cosmic background radiation, black holes, red shift.

swimming pool, breakfast on the terrasse, good free coffee at any time
Th elocation to the lake and the village
I did not like the staff, all were rude. We were only informed on the last day by other guests there was access to the side of the property that we could use to bring the baby pram inot the property. All the staff at this property had watched me more than once carry a 20 kg child and a baby pram up the stairs by myself without offering any help or advice about how to get into the property easier. The front counter staff were rude. They have little local knowledge. If they had any is was not available in English. They would not even say hello when we walked past from reception.
The pool.
No airconditioning (staff claimed there are no airconditioned rooms although the guest direectory indicated otherwise), reception mostly unmanned, terrible staff attitude, certainly not value for money.
I booked a single room for 1 person, but I got a double room for 2 people, so my friend could also sleep with me. :-)) Thank you..!
The hotel web site says "bus 31 to the hotel from Locarono". We caught bus number 1 on Friday night at 11.30pm, and went to San Marteno.
staff was very helpful and friendly plus the coffee was very good for a coffee lover.
very nice and helpful staff.
This is a nice hotel, but it is quite high above the lake, so to walk into the center of Ascona is not very convenient. There are plenty of free parking. An excellent and varied breakfast
The most beautiful hotel and view in Ascona. The hotel staff were first class!!
Location, breakfast, large room.
No shower in bathroom. Had to negotiate to use a shower in adjoining room.
Very nice location, and the room of the top of the tower was very nice. Service was also very good. Staff was very friendly.
It was beautiful, clean, and the staff was super helpful.
The room was cold at night. Perhaps a heating system needs to be in place?
It was very, very close to the train station. It was decently priced. Our room had a sink. The temperature of the room was comfortable.
It was noisy due to its proximity to the train station and the other guests were raucously noisy until at least midnight. (We're talking screaming, running, and generally loud conversations.) We had a crying baby next door and we were above the dinning room. The train noise started at 5am. The showers closed at either 10pm or 11pm. The beds were two twins pushed together.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

There is an astonishing article in the (liberal) Vox by the (liberal) Emmett Rensin entitled "The Smug Style in American Liberalism: How liberals came to look down on the people they once tried to help."
It castigates liberals for their Daily-Show habit of mocking those they disagree with, particularly those of lower social class than themselves, saying how stupid and uneducated they are, compared to their cool and knowing selves.
Rensin points out that liberals used to be largely from the working class. Today, though, the base of liberalism is in academia and the upper middle class. Today, he says, many Democrats don't even know a poor or blue collar person. Their disrespect has translated into not really doing anything about the economic issues that have so ravaged the working class.

I am programming a wordpress-theme with a responsive imagemap-navigation.
I am using a jQuery-plugin:
<a href="http://mattstow.com/experiment/responsive-image-maps/rwd-image-maps.html">
Everything seems to work fine, but if the image is smaller (under ~700px) and you click a link it won`t resize the map. It stays at its original size. If you resize the window just 1px, the map is resized again.
Please help if you can. I`ll let you know if I find a solution for this.
Cheers, Bloxxor
Edit: I also tried the plugin with 2 handcoded html-files, the problem is in this case not existent.

SULPHUR SPRINGS, Texas (AP) - A woman authorities were seeking after the earlier shooting of a man was killed by authorities in North Texas.
Trooper Jean Dark, a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Public Safety, says that after authorities located a vehicle linked to the earlier shooting, the woman approached the officers with a weapon near the town of Yantis and was shot.
Dark says she did not know the condition of the man who was shot earlier or any other details.
She says the man was shot at a repair shop and residence near Sulphur Springs, about 80 miles east of Dallas.

Our company Coscend has built a Web portal-based communications and cloud collaboration platform by using JavaScript (JS), which is embedded in HTML5 and formatted with CSS3. Other technologies used in the core code include Flash, Flex, PostgreSQL and MySQL. Our team would like to host this platform on five different Windows and Linux environments that run different types of Web servers such as IIS and Apache.
Technical challenge: Each of these Windows and Linux servers have a different host name and domain name (and IP address), but we would like to keep our enterprise platform independent of host server configuration.
Possible approach to solution: We think an API (interface module with a GUI) is needed to accomplish this level of modularity and flexibility while deploying at our enterprise customers.
Seeking your insights: In this context, our team would appreciate your guidance on:
1. Is there an algorithmic method to implement this Web portal-based platform in these Windows and Linux environments while separating it from server configuration, i.e., customizing the host name, domain name and IP address for each individual instance?
2. For example, would it be suitable to create some JS variables / objects for host name and domain name and call them in the different implementations? Any reference to the host/domain names on hundreds of portal modules, would be converted into root-relative path with these variables or JS objects providing the root prefix.
3. If so, what is the best way to make these object modules written in JS portable and re-usable across different environments and instances for enterprise customers?
Here is an example of the implemented code for the said platform. Oue Web site CoscendCommunications in the "com" top-level domain, was built using this enterprise collaboration platform and has the base code examples of the platform. This Web site is domain-specific. We like to make the underlying platform such that it is domain and host-independent. This will allow the underlying platform to be deployed in multiple instances of our enterprise customers.

Borealis Echo
I'll play. Here's mine
Been running it all year without a hiccup. Took it apart recently to find absolutely zero contamination on the inside.
Sorry no pics, but I am very interested in the Hammerschmidt for my next bike. What do you think is the future for the Hammer.? Where will go from here?
Will Shimano come out with a similar product?
Any rumors out there?
Its cool to see a bunch of bikes getting speced. with them.
it's really cool i've had it for over a year, but it has noise in the overdrive, is this the same with everyone elses??
It really suits this bike!
What's up with the leafs as spokes, the candle mounted behind the seat and the "Z" spokes on the front wheel? Ps. Dont fart with the candle lit. Fahn

As of today I too can play. Attached is a video of my new bike sent to me today which shows it in action as well as a discussion around hammerschmidt design considerations.

Since I am not tscheezy apparently when it comes to ride reviews, I will leave it at I LOVE IT!!!! Honestly, its exactly what I had hoped we would come up with, a hardtail that can be used effectively for the rides I currently use my FS trailbike for. I am going to order a cog for the rear and run it is a dinglespeed (2 x 1) and cannot wait - it's current a 12 speed (2 x 6 as pictured)
here's mine.
no bash guard, no special tub. shoes rubbed the logos off and I like it better without them.

Ridden for 6 months or so. It has held up well aside from cosmetic dings. The shifter pod died and I replaced it with a gripshift unit that works just fine.

I think I've got one of the few Runes with a Hammerschmidt on it. built that thing to handle a bit of riding up at Snowshoe, plus anything I could throw at it around here

really. ah umm...google?
I've got a couple 'Schmidts out on customer bikes and they really seem to like them.
What I really want to see is one that's slimmed down. There's a lot of steel in there and I'm sure that they could remove some weight for an XC version. From what I could tell, it adds almost 900 grams over a traditional set-up.
The cool thing is that they open up the design possibilities. The massive backplate can make fitting a challenge (see Enel's bike) but dumping the front derailleur is the right way to go. I hope a new version is on the way.

New theme titled Thin Green Line. This is an adaptation of a public domain template of the same name made by Six Shooter Media.
link: http://www.negative99.com/projects/wordpress-themes
I'll apologize right away for not having a demo site set up with this theme already, but the link above includes a screenshot.
Let me know what you think (or if it breaks somehow).

Using the NextGen Gallery Plugin...when it cannot find the image it is looking for it displays an error message, which is generated as an image. I think the message itself may vary, but here is what I've seen for the message "Error: File Not Found":
I want to eliminate these error messages -- or at least keep them from displaying or hide them when they do occur.
I believe I found the code that calls these messages in the ImageMagick files within the NextGen Gallery Plugin folder. I may be able to pull that code from the plugin, but I don't want to do that. I'd like to find another solutions, either by adding some function to my theme's functions.php or using or jQuery. The problem is that when this message/image gets displayed, the URL is still the same as when it finds the image, so I don't see any way to target the image and hide it ONLY when the error message gets displayed.
What I'd like to do is use a function in functions.php to somehow intercept the code that tells NGG/ImageMagick that the image is missing, so I can use it as a conditional to prevent the image from displaying if it is not found.
The code I'm using is adapted from code I found somewhere (sorry, don't remember exactly where) that allows for random display of an NGGallery image. I'm using it as a CSS Background image. Here is my code at pastebin:
Somewhere in this code I want to be able to add a conditional that basically says:
IF THE IMAGE IS NOT FOUND, WHICH CAUSES THE ERROR MESSAGE TO FIRE, THEN RETURN "style='background-image: none;'
Anyone have any ideas how this might be accomplished without modifying the plugin files?
