text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Velasquez Garcia was a Zorro supporting character originating in Walt Disney's live-action television series "Zorro" (1957-1959). He was portrayed by actor Henry Calvin (1918-1975). The character was a comedic foil for Zorro and his alter ego, Don Diego De La Vega. Sometimes a friend (especially to Diego), sometimes a reluctant foe, Garcia is constantly outwitted by other characters, and is often his own worst enemy due to his weakness for food and drink.Calvin's rich baritone voice also contributed to a number of musical interludes over the course of the series, singing everything from drinking songs to a serenade, and even a duet with Annete Funicello in one episode. After the series ended due to a contract dispute with ABC, Calvin reprised the role of Garcia in all four Zorro stories that aired as part of "Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color" in 1960 and 1961.According to assesments of Garcia by other characters of the series: At heart Garcia is just a child.All he really wants is to stay in the army. His idea of a grand retirement is to own a tavern, not be a haciendado. He would probably be happiest staying in the army and dying with his boots on. Military life is all he has ever really known. He can most often be found "inspecting the tavern".

The young Catholic man is taught - perhaps even more than most - to open doors for women. His mother demands this of him, knowing that chivalry is a wonderful virtue to practice. His father demands the same, knowing that his son is going to need all the help he can get to attract women, wondering only vaguely what happened to all his family's good-looking genes. This all goes to prove the point that virtue is at once desirable and practical. It offers both heavenly and earthly reward. This fact … [Read more...]

It's a meaningful truth about the Church, that she restores true meaning to our distorted language. Thus being scandalous is not simply 'being publicly sinful' or 'wearing a little clothing at a lot of clubs', as our Pop music might suggest. It is leading the innocent astray by sinful example. In this sense, a prostitute might be innocent of scandal, for who is led to believe that pre-marital sex is virtuous by the example of prostitution? Our President, however, is guilty of scandal in his … [Read more...]

From BYOD environments to high bandwidth applications, there is intense pressure on network infrastructures. Upgrading is a high priority for higher education technology leaders. In this web seminar broadcast on September 20, an administrator from Gordon College in Wenham, Massachusetts described how the school faced those challenges head on when it embarked on a fourth-generation upgrade and redesign of its network to meet the changing demands of its users.
With smartphones and mobile devices everywhere on campus, students expect complete mobile access to everything from course assignments and grades to events and sports news. This web seminar, originally presented on April 11, 2012, explored how two schools use AT&T Campus Guide, enabling them to keep students and staff connected, informed and engaged while on the go.
Nadir Khan Education Industry Solutions Consultant AT&T
To understand how technology can help improve the college application and enrollment process, as well as the professional lives of college admissions officers, one need look no further than the healthcare profession.
Acceptance of cloud computing—the practice of storing data in off-site servers rather than on campus—has been growing by leaps and bounds, at least in some areas. "It's growing in the areas easier to rip and replace, such as CRM," says Stan Swete, chief technology officer at Workday, which offers HR and Payroll systems through software as a service (SaaS).
Most colleges and universities attending EduComm send one or two, sometimes three, people to the conference. Last June, Life University (Ga.) sent seven of its administrators and faculty to learn from the breakout sessions and see the latest higher education technology on the EduComm exhibit floor.
When H1N1 made its way to the mountains of northwestern Vermont two years ago, the technology experts at Saint Michael's College were concerned students or teachers might not make it to class. The virus didn't reach epidemic proportions at the small Catholic college, but it energized the team already considering ways to bring lessons beyond the classroom.
Call it the marathon without a finish line: As new network demands such as mobile computing and rich media increase, campus IT strategists are trying to keep running ahead, to ensure that their networks can meet the need.
The campus network is home to thousands of student residents while at the same time hosting key administrative servers containing private personal information. Yet in most universities the network administrators are expected to maintain an "open network environment" that allows free access in and out of the campus.
If you haven't made your plans yet for EduComm 2011, let me take this opportunity to tell you about the variety of fast-paced, information-packed breakout sessions scheduled for attendees. Covering a range of topics from learning technology and social media to enrollment strategies and leadership issues, the sessions are designed to inform and enlighten all decision makers at colleges and universities about the changes, challenges and solutions, that higher education must confront today and in the coming years.

On a hot summer's day, late in August, I sought shade and a cool drink under the canvas awning of a waterfront cafe in the old harbor of the town of Chania, on the Greek island of Crete. More than 100 degrees in still air. Crowded. Tempers of both the tourists and waiters had risen to meet the circumstances, creating a tensely quarrelsome environment.
At the table next to mine sat an attractive young couple. Well dressed in summer fashions of rumpled linen and fine leather sandals. The man: stocky, olive-complexioned, black hair, and mustache. The woman: lanky, fair, blond. Waiting for service, they held hands, whispered affections, kissed, giggled, and laughed.
Suddenly, they stood, picked up their metal table and, carrying it with them, stepped together off the edge of the quay to place the table in the shallow water of the harbor. The man waded back for two chairs. He gallantly seated his lady in the waist-high water and sat down himself.
The onlookers laughed, applauded, and cheered.
A sour-faced waiter appeared. He paused for the briefest moment. Raised his eyebrows. Picked up a table cloth, napkins and silverware. Waded into the water to set the table and take their order. Waded back ashore to the ongoing cheers and applause of the rest of his customers. Minutes later he returned with a tray carrying a bucket of iced champagne and two glasses. Without pausing, he waded once more into the water to serve the champagne. The couple toasted each other, the waiter, and the crowd. And the crowd replied by cheering and throwing flowers from the table decorations.
Three other tables joined in to have lunch in the sea.
The atmosphere shifted from frustration to festival.
One does not wade into the water in one's best summer outfit.
Why not?
Customers are not served in the sea.
Why not?
Sometimes one should consider crossing the line of convention.

o Trio Holdings, the money broker that takes in the Martin Bierbaum operation, is having a torrid time. Earlier this year it raised pounds 6.5m through a cash call at 25p. The shares, once more than 81p, fell 3p to 9p yesterday, with the market clearly growing increasingly perplexed about figures, due soon.Reuse content

o Slimma, the fashion group, held at 59p, a year's low. Henry Cooke, Lumsden, the stockbroker, believes that the shares are worth buying up to 90p. First-half profits fell from pounds 535,000 to pounds 210,000 and year's figures will, it believes, show a drop from more than pounds 1m to pounds 550,000. Next year's outcome, however, should be a pounds 1m profit and its analyst, Peter Dzedzora, says that the shares' fall from 115p this year has been overdone.

Where is old Bob Dylan
When righteous people need him?
With jackals in the White House
Now democracy is bleeding?
He used to sing the songs
Of good and needy people's plights,
He used to be the first one round
To help to fight the good fight.
But now there's honest, decent folk
Locked away in secret gaols,
Read no rights, not even charged
Permitted no right to bail.
No lawyers to represent them
As their interrogation goes on and on,
Junior Bush denies them basic rights
As part of his evil pogrom.
So where is Bob Dylan now
When good, decent people need him,
Denied even visits from their friends
From their kith and kin.
Locked away in secret bunkers
For two hundred days and nights,
Denied all hope or liberty
Denied even basic human rights.
So where has old Bob Dylan gone?
Now he's off in hiding,
Where have all the fighters gone?
All no longer fighting.

Causing the Conditions of One's Defense: A Theoretical Non-Problem
Larry Alexander
University of San Diego School of Law
April, 25 2012
Criminal Law and Philosophy (Forthcoming)
San Diego Legal Studies Paper No. 12-086
My contribution to this symposium is short and negative: There are no theoretical problems that attach to one's causing the conditions that permit him to claim a defense to some otherwise criminal act. If one assesses the culpability of an actor at each of the various times he acts in a course of conduct, then it is obvious that he can be nonculpable at T2 but culpable at T1, and that a nonculpable act at T2 has no bearing on whether an actor was culpable at T1 when he caused the circumstances that are exculpatory with respect to his act (or conduct) at T2. Moreover, as I interpret the Model Penal Code, it gets matters close to right on this point.

A blessed New Year 2014 to all our donors friends and well wishers. Thank you for your support through 2013.
After an interesting year of travel abroad and training, One offer to kick start the new year is already in. I am expected to attend a 6 week (3 Modules) traning at the trade policy training centre in Africa, Arusha Tanzania. It is always a ajoy for me to take time off and go to different places and network for the Foundation. I will be delighted to go if conditions and circumstances allow. I have attached the admission to the training course. I hope i get a comfirmation for the scholarship soon. I can onl go if am given full or partial scholarship.
It is very important to take part in these rainings because i benefit alot from the exposure. It is equally imprtant for me to attend because i represent the Foundation and talk about what we do and stand for whenever i find myself. It is for this reason that i am grateful for whatever help you can extend to this project more so if i am given a partial scholarship and need to fork out something. I am always willing to make the time and attend. I I am also happy to apply what i have learnt from the training to my work and organisational context. I am grateful for your help.
Happy 2014 Once again

Motorists are to be given up to £5,000 to buy less polluting electric cars in a long-awaited official drive to a low-carbon future.
Under the £250m incentive scheme, drivers will receive Government subsidies to buy a new generation of cars that can be charged up by normal power sockets in homes and garages.
Ministers promised that the funding – first announced as a concession for approving Heathrow's third runway in January – would make green cars practicable for everyday drivers.
"Cutting road transport CO2 emissions is a key element of tackling climate change. Less than 0.1 per cent of the UK's 26 million cars are electric, so there is a huge untapped potential to reduce emissions," said the Transport Secretary Geoff Hoon.
"The scale of incentives we're announcing today will mean that an electric car is a real option for motorists as well as helping to make the UK a world leader in low-carbon transport."
Opposition politicians and transport and environmental campaigners gave the plan, revealed by the Prime Minister in The Independent last week, a lukewarm welcome, accusing the Government of doing too little too late to move to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from petrol and diesel cars.
Britain has agreed to cut CO2 emissions by 80 per cent by 2050. The Climate Change Committee, an independent body established under the Climate Change Act to advise the Government on setting carbon budgets, has recommended an initial 42 per cent cut by 2020. The committee is chaired by Lord Turner of Ecchinswell – Adair Turner, the former director general of the Confederation of British Industry.
Launching the programme at Knockhill Racing Circuit in Fife, where he drove an electric Mini, Lord Mandelson, the Business Secretary, said: "Britain has taken a world lead in setting ambitious targets for carbon reduction. Low-carbon vehicles will play a key role in cutting emissions."
He added that the Government money would spur British industry to invest in low-carbon technology.
In the past two years the Government has committed £123m towards research and development into low-carbon technology and £20m to encourage local authorities and the Royal Mail to run electric vehicles. Under its new £250m scheme, which will take effect from 2011, the Government will back "plug in" cars, rather than existing hybrid models such as the Toyota Prius.
Most of the money – £230m – will provide motorists with grants of between £2,000 and £5,000 to buy wholly electric and hybrid cars. A further £20m will fund charging points in two or three "electric cities", making longer journeys feasible.
Ministers hope that the scheme will go a long way to tackling the limited range and high cost of electric cars. At present there are few electric-only models available, the most popular of which is the G-Wiz, which must be charged every 75 miles and has a top speed of 51mph. But over the next year, new models from Mini and Smart – and a plug-in Prius – are expected.
According to statistics from the Department for Transport, of the 28 million cars on Britain's roads in 2007, the latest year for which figures are available, just 2,000 were electric and 16,000 hybrid. The new scheme would fund around 65,000 new electric cars – more than three times the existing number, but still only 0.3 per cent of the total.
Motoring organisations warned that the infratrastructure for electric cars would have to transformed to make them viable. "For electric vehicles to revolutionise our cities we need infrastructure, incentives, clean electricity and affordable, practical vehicles," said the AA's president Edmund King.
While welcoming the new funding, motor traders and manufacturers called for Government support to ensure that the beleaguered car industry remains intact during the downturn and can build more energy-efficient cars when the economy improves.
They also called for motorists to be offered incentives to scrap older, polluting cars and buy new ones. A similar scheme has recently been successfully introduced in Germany, and a version may form part of the Chancellor Alistair Darling's Budget next week.
Paul Everitt, chief executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said: "The motor industry is in the middle of its greatest economic challenge and immediate action to preserve the UK sector in the short-term is essential if we are to stake our claim in the global development of low-carbon technology for the future."
Opposition politicians responded to the latest announcement by claiming that they would take tougher action to reduce transport pollution. The Conservatives pledged to build a national network of electric charging points, improve the national grid to cope with extra demand from electric vehicles, and divert £200m from road charging into other green transport schemes.
In a speech on green technology yesterday, the shadow Chancellor George Osborne complained that Britain was lagging behind Germany, France, Japan and the US. "Instead of leading the world on green technology, Britain is trailing far behind. So we must all take the Prime Minister's latest announcement on electric cars with a pinch of salt."
According to the Liberal Democrat Transport spokesman Norman Baker, the announcement was like adding "a small dab of green paint to the rusty hulk of the Government's failed transport policy". He said: "Discounts on electric cars are all very well for those who can afford to buy a new car but it cannot hide the fact that the Government has forced up rail fares and destroyed many local bus services."
At the request of The Independent, the Campaign for Better Transport suggested another way of spending the Government's £250m. It proposed allocating £100m for buses, trebling the Rural Bus Subsidy Grant, £50m for 15 sustainable travel towns, £50m for another 50 train carriages spread across the 10 most congested lines, £30m for 50,000 cycle stands, and £20m for car clubs at new developments and workplaces.
Its climate change and roads campaigner Richard George said: "While electric vehicles have a role to play in reducing transport's carbon footprint, we're still waiting to hear how the Government plans to provide enough green energy to make this an environmental initiative. Throwing £5,000 at people to buy a new car feels more like a bail-out for the motoring industry than the sustainable transport strategy we need."
The green cars
The market leader. Its fragility was revealed by a Top Gear crash test. Seating for two adults and two small children. Old-fashioned batteries in the £8,500 version give a 40-mile range and 50mph top speed. A more advanced £15,000 version will travel 70 miles and can be recharged in 90 minutes.
Mini E
The E sacrifices two seats to the battery stack. Performance is brisk – this Mini will reach 62mph in 8.5 seconds and go on to 95 mph. It has a range of 150 miles. Some 500 have been supplied on lease to customers in California and New York at $850 a month. Made in Oxford and Munich, 40 may be leased in the UK, says Mini owner BMW.
Chevrolet Volt
A version of this, the Vauxhall Ampera, should follow the Chevy's launch in the US in 2011. As a "series plug-in hybrid" it generates its own electricity as well as taking it from the mains, and uses a small petrol motor to power items such as air conditioning. Healthy UK demand will help the case for making it at Vauxhall's Ellesmere Port works. Practical, but range still limited to 40 miles.
Smart Fortwo EV
Currently undergoing trials, it may go on sale next year. Expect a top speed of 70mph, a range of 70 miles. Price to be determined.
Tesla Roadster
Lotus helped develop this sexy model, which hits 60mph in a Ferrari-bashing 3.9 seconds and has a range of 250 miles. The snag? Its price – £96,000. It is available to order now; UK deliveries next month. Tesla are also said to be planning a saloon.
Aixam Mega City
This is a French take on the concept and has similar performance to the basic G-Wiz. It's conventional rather than stylish, and the finish is a little rough. Available as a two- or four-seater.

Feeding and the Texture of Food by J. F. V. Vincent
Book DescriptionA large part of the effort of the food industry is spent in attempting to understand the limitations of the type of food that animals can eat. An understanding of the factors that influence feeding behaviour can then be used to produce foodstuffs that are more attractive to the animal in question, whether it be man, cattle, dogs or cats. This book examines both the texture of food and the adaptations of various animals (including fish, mammals, primates and man) to the type of food they commonly eat. Zoologists, material scientists and food scientists have got together to present an integrated overview of feeding by vertebrates. The mechanical properties of various foods are considered in conjunction with the mechanics of eating them and more subjective behavioural parameters such as acceptability and palatability. The book consequently will be of interest to food scientists, zoologists and animal behaviouralists.

The Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) Rainfall Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBD)
Entry ID: AMSR_Rainfall-ATBD-99
Abstract: (Summary adapted from the AMSR Rainfall ATBD)
Algorithm Theoretical Basis Documents (ATBDs) are being developed for every EOS instrument product. These documents, consist of a detailed physical and mathematical description of the algorithm, variance or uncertainty estimates, and practical considerations, such as calibration and validation, exception handling, quality assessments and diagnostics. ...
The aim of the precipitation algorithm is threefold: The first is to produce instantaneous rainfall intensity on a pixel-by-pixel basis (Level 2). In addition to rainfall intensity, over ocean, rainfall will be categorized as convective or stratiform. The rainfall, as well as the latent heating which can be derived from the convective/stratiform separation play an important role in Global Circulation Model (GCM) initialization as well as data assimilation efforts currently underway; The second objective is to produce estimates of monthly totals on a 5' x 5' basis (Level 3). This product is aimed particularly at climate monitoring as well GCM validation. The distinction between instantaneous and monthly products, aside from the applications, is necessitated by the poor temporal sampling of the AMSR instrument. Fortunately, there are statistical properties of rainfall, which can be exploited in order to gain greater confidence in monthly rainfall accumulations. The third objective is to generate credible uncertainty estimates. This requires that the algorithms, to the maximum extent possible, be based on models with well-established physics. The detection of changes on a wide variety of space and time scales is extremely important. By avoiding the use of arbitrary tuning parameters, especially those that vary seasonally and regionally, we have a high degree of confidence that any change we see in the retrieved rainfall is a change in the actual rainfall rather than of some tuning parameter. The physical basis further insures that rainfall estimates made from AMSR can be easily adapted to previous as well as future sensors. Is such a way, it will be possible to extend AMSR rainfall climatologies backward to 1987 using SSM/I observations. It will also insure that knowledge gained from the TRMM mission is easily incorporated into the AMSR retrieval. In the ensuing discussion, the reader will see that we have been reasonably, if imperfectly, successful in approaching this goal for the ocean algorithms, where a large and reasonably constant reflectivity of the ocean background enables approaches that are simply not possible if there is a significant amount of land in the field of view. Unfortunately, for the land algorithms, much less has proved possible.
