I watched a couple videos on starwars.com. One was about their different 'copies' of the weapons. The ultralight, but breakable, down to the solid resin.
But my real question is, so if they copy something thats made from a real rifle, does the company get mad and say hay you cant re-cast that.
I know its a wierd question, but there was one pistol, that was made from a real pistol, that they had made 30-40 copies of, and I had to wonder

Over the past decade, the call for evidence-based management has been on the rise. Managers have become increasingly skeptical of advice that is based solely on anecdotes, otherwise known as the "art of management"; they demand, instead, proof that the management practices are truly effective in today's frenetic global workplace. This complete audio book version of Becoming the Evidence-Based Manager delivers the goods, covering a wide range of critical people management skills, such as hiring, inspiring, training, developing, motivating, and coaching. Listeners will be rewarded with a thorough understanding of how to put the science of management to work for themselves and their organizations.
Becoming the Evidence-Based Manager covers six key lessons of management, all backed by research and proven in practice. No longer needing to rely on intuition alone, managers now have a model for decision making that is based on measurable, scientific fact.
Presented in an accessible, conversational style by the author, Becoming the Evidence-Based Manager draws upon 50 years of management research, and provides HR professionals and front-line managers with key lessons and tips to help them put research to everyday use on the job. From hiring and training to supervising and appraising, managers and leaders will learn proven techniques for achieving high performance from their employees.

"In Becoming the Evidence-Based Manager, Gary Latham delivers a well-reasoned and highly practical approach to delivering superior results through more scientific management approaches. Having seen some of his ideas implemented in our organization and others, I can easily testify to their effectiveness. This is a welcome respite from some of the more common psychobabble on the art of management and leadership."--Donald Guloien, President and CEO, Manulife Financial
"I didn't want this book to end. It's that good . . . . I believe that Latham has done our field a genuine service by writing this book. It is a concise, evidence-based guide to a set of management dilemmas that will help line managers to improve the behavior of men and women at work. The many practical examples and colorful illustrations that Latham weaves throughout each chapter make this an engaging, rewarding read. The tools and techniques that he presents are actionable, and doable. In that sense, Latham himself has achieved a challenging goal: boosting the self-efficacy of his readers, who finish the book exclaiming to themselves, 'I can do this!'" -- Wayne F. Cascio, University of Colorado Denver

Yow! If that was really your first time ever shooting and it was really at 50 feet (quite a distance for a handgun), I'd say you did an amazing job.
Shooting a handgun accurately is an easy thing to describe, but difficult for most to actually execute without a lot of practice. It's all about keeping your sites on target while pressing that trigger back in a smooth, gradual fashion so that when the trigger finally breaks and fires the round, it is a surprise to you. That's the only way to not influence your shot by jerking or flinching. If you are thinking, "Ok... fire... now!" then you have a bad habit. There are many more details to add to a proper trigger pull, but I feel this is the most important.
Again, you are off to a great start if the distance you described was accurate. So just practice, practice, practice. Also, if you don't have a gun of your own at home, try some dry firing at the range before you actually load a magazine. Ideally, your front site should not move when the trigger breaks.

NOTE: WE ARE NOT A COUPLE so we will need TWO SEPARATE ROOMS!! Hey my name is Jacob. I'm a 21 year old contracted electrician but looking to get out of that industry and move into realestate. On weekdays I tend to spend my time either working, going to the gym or just kicking back and watching some tv. On weekends I usually just chill out and hang out with my housemates, go out and have a beer somewhere quiet and chill or go on an adventure. I am a non smoker, I don't own a pet and Im very considerate of other housemates space. Id also like to add that even though I am still young the party life is behind me but if there is a special occasion I will crack a beer and join in on the festivities, but I'd much rather be in the kitchen making an awesome as meal or going on an adventure and experiencing life. Hey there! I'm Katelyn, I'm 22 and originally from Surfcoast, Victoria! I'm a chef so I work pretty hectic hours, but when I am home I love to be in the kitchen, keeping myself busy or I'm super chill, love to spend time with whoever's home, as well as being the occasional hermit (you can blame Netflix). I'm fully house trained I promise so I love to make sure the house is clean and tidy. I'm respectful of everyone I live with so I'm sure we'll get along great!! And would love to have the occasional drinks if you're up to it! I have been living in Melbourne for the last twelve months. I love it here and can't wait to find some awesome new housemates to enjoy it with too. As well as myself, I come with two very cute additions!!! Two five month old kittens that will do anything for some cuddles! NOTE: We are not a couple so we will need two separate rooms.
I have a nursing placement in Albany for a month and need a place to stay

Hello All!
I recently set out to embark on my journey and adventure of creating a costume character worth of acceptance by the 501st.
I am from St. Louis, MO. I will be submitted my character approvel to both the 501st Midwest and 70th Explorers.
I am torn in my decision. I *want* to be a female Boba, but my desire to troop has me considering expanded universe characters like Rav Bralor.
More about me. I am a mother to my beautiful 6 month old daughter. Her name is Amelia. She was named after Allana Djo Solo, who poses as the war orphan Amelia Solo. She has a Star Wars themed nursery. Once I am complete with making the bedding, I will share my build thread ^_^ I am married to an incredible man who also has a love for Star Wars and video games. We are best friends. I have a borning 9 to 5 job as a Project Manager for a large telecommunications company.
I look forward to building friendships, along with seeking advice and support along the way.

If you need to create your own shared content it is a simple task.
I can't see the content in my page build, how do I know it is right?
You need to check shared content in the content tree to make sure it is the content you want. It will only show up in your loading dock as an icon. After you insert the shared content you want into your page build make sure you save and preview to see how it will actually look on your live site.
How can I make changes to shared content?
Currently we can do that for you but if you create your own shared content, you will be responsible for making any changes to that yourself by opening it up and editing it just like any other page in Sitecore.
Why can't I link to shared content?
Thems the breaks! But you can easily create a page that you remove from the sitemap that contains the shared content you want to link to and then use that page like any other internal link.

Green Bay Sweeps Horizon League Player of the Week Awards
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – After helping the Green Bay volleyball team (12-12, 7-4 HL) to a pair of key conference home wins this past weekend against UIC and Valparaiso, sophomores Taylor Kasal (Westmont, Ill.) and Jillian Bauer (Verona, Wis.) were both honored by the Horizon League on Monday as the Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week for the period of Oct. 28-Nov. 3.
They are the first weekly awards for both players, and Monday marked the first time that Green Bay swept the player of the week honors since the league began recognizing offensive and defensive winners in 2005.
"We are thrilled for Taylor and Jillian, and both are very deserving of these honors," Phoenix head coach Michaela Franklin said. "They were both impressive statistically on the weekend, but more important than their stats were their on-court presence and their competitive demeanor, which helped lead us to a pair of victories."
Kasal was instrumental in Green Bay's 3-2 comeback win over second-place Valpo (22-5, 8-2 HL) on Saturday at the Kress Center, recording her first-career double-double with a career-high 21 kills and 16 digs. She also added nine kills and six digs in the 3-0 sweep of UIC on Friday evening. For the weekend, Kasal averaged 3.75 kills per set while hitting .291.
"Taylor's feisty personality makes it evident that she is out there to win," Franklin said. "That really showed in both matches this weekend."
Bauer has been a model of consistency all season long for the Phoenix back row, leading the Horizon League in total digs (466) and digs per set (4.96). She was even better than her average in the two wins over the weekend, finishing with 5.88 digs per set and 47 total digs. She had a match and career-high 32 digs in Saturday's victory over the Crusaders.
"Bauer continues to be a solid defender and passer for us," Franklin said. "She has really taken an extra step in her game these past two weeks as a leader and in running the back court for us."
Kasal and Bauer become the third and fourth weekly award-winners for the Phoenix this season, marking the most in any single season in school history. Senior Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.) was named Defensive Player of the Week on Aug. 26 and classmate Leah Van Zeeland (Kaukauna, Wis.) was tabbed as the Offensive Player of the Week on Sept. 2.
Green Bay now sits alone in third place in the Horizon League standings with just three matches remaining on the regular season schedule. The lone match for the Phoenix this week is a Senior Day meeting with first-place Milwaukee (14-9, 10-1 HL) on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Kress Center. It will be the final home contest of the season for Green Bay.

George Washington, a civil man
posted at 11:07 am on February 22, 2010 by Pundette
He didn't write the 110 Rules of Civility, but copying and practicing them was part of George Washington's education.
Some of the rules are complete anachronisms. More than a few may trigger a laugh:
#13 Kill no Vermin as Fleas, lice ticks &c in the Sight of Others, if you See any filth or thick Spittle put your foot Dexterously upon it if it be upon the Cloths of your Companions, Put it off privately, and if it be upon your own Cloths return Thanks to him who puts it off.
#12 Shake not the head, Feet, or Legs roll not the Eyes lift not one eyebrow higher than the other wry not the mouth, and bedew no mans face with your Spittle, by approaching too near him when you Speak.
Close-talkers have always been with us, appparently.
But many of the behavioral prescriptions, large and small, still bear consideration:
Play not the Peacock.
Let your recreations be manful not sinful.
Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.
En masse, the Rules offer a nuts-and-bolts guide for social behavior: how not to annoy or offend others, how to show them respect, how to behave with humility, how not to call attention to yourself, how not to be a bore, how to be a loyal friend, and how to behave with charity toward others.
Richard Brookhiser, in his Founding Fathers: Rediscovering George Washington, writes on the significance of the Rules to Washington and to the new country as well:
"all modern manners in the western world were originally aristocratic. Courtesy meant behavior appropriate to a court; chivalry comes from chevalier – a knight. Yet Washington was to dedicate himself to freeing America from a court's control. Could manners survive the operation? Without realizing it, the Jesuits who wrote them, and the young man who copied them, were outlining and absorbing a system of courtesy appropriate to equals and near-equals. When the company for whom the decent behavior was to be performed expanded to the nation, Washington was ready. Parson Weems got this right, when he wrote that it was 'no wonder every body honoured him who honoured every body.'"

Here's the thing. UFO stands for "unidentified flying object." Over the years, however, "UFO" has become synonymous with "alien space craft" the same way "Kleenex" has with "facial tissue" and "Ping Pong" with "table tennis."
I would argue that the genericizing of "UFO" is even more pervasive in this instance because, quite simply, it's being used incorrectly.
Is this toy a flying object with exceptional maneuverability and amazing agility? Indeed it is. Is it unidentified, however? No, it is not. In fact, its LED lights not only make it easily identifiable, but also great for night flying and putting on a show.
So in conclusion, should you buy this toy for your kids? Absolutely. Its crash resistant caging make it ideal for novice flyers. But as a society, we have a responsibility to speak the truth, or in this case, call a radio-controlled flying machine a radio-controlled flying machine.

Start at (1) the Independence Visitors Center (One North Independence Mall West; www.independencevisitorcenter.com) at Sixth and Market streets and pick up free, timed tickets to tour Independence Hall, which will be the final stop on your walk. Learn more about Franklin and other Founding Fathers by watching Independence, a short film. Load up on brochures about other attractions.
Head out of the visitors center, turn right on Sixth Street and proceed to the (2) Federal Reserve Bank. "They have a wonderful exhibit on money," says Ralph Archbold, a Franklin impersonator. There's also an engaging "Match Wits with Ben" game.
Carry on to the (3) National Constitution Center (525 Arch Street; www.constitutioncenter.org) directly across Arch Street between Fifth and Sixth streets, where visitors, via iPod reenactment, can relive the moment on Sept. 17, 1787, when delegates signed the Constitution.
Go to Fifth and Arch streets to (4) Christ Church Burial Ground, where Franklin and four other signers of the Declaration of Independence are buried, as well as Philip Syng, the silversmith who made the inkwell for the signing. "Franklin's grave always has lots of pennies on it, a tradition started by brides who tossed a penny on his tombstone on their way to the church to show they'd be frugal housewives," says Thomas Keels, author, Philadelphia Graveyards and Cemeteries.
Exit the Burial Ground and make a right. Turn left on Second Street and proceed past Race Street to the (5) Fireman's Hall Museum (147 North Second Street; www.firemanshall.org), originally the site of the Union Fire Company, established by Franklin in 1736 and now home to a collection of antique fire trucks, including the earliest models, drawn by horses or husky men.
Make a left and continue to (6) Elfreth's Alley (www.elfrethsalley.org), the oldest continuously inhabited street in America. Because people still live there, the only homes open to the public are the Museum House (at 126) and Museum Shop (124).
Leave the alley and go left on Second Street to American Street to (7) Christ Church (www.christchurchphila.org) where Franklin was a member. "You can sit in the pew where George Washington sat," Archbold notes. (That's pew 54; pew 70 was reserved for Franklin.)
Continue on Second Street and turn left on Market Street to the (8) Franklin Fountain (116 Market Street; www.franklinfountain.com) where you can indulge in Franklin Mint Chip ice cream, fudge and other confections. Drink in the collection of soda fountain ephemera. As Ben himself opined: "A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges."
Take Market Street past Second Street to (9) Franklin Court. "Mail a letter; the cancellation reads 'B. Free Franklin,'" Archbold suggests. Franklin was the nation's first postmaster general and the (10) U.S. Postal Service Museum is on the second floor. Next door is the (11) Print Shop and demonstrations of the 18th-century techniques with which Franklin printed Poor Richard's Almanack. An (12) underground museum displays family portraits, highlights on Franklin's career as a diplomat, and many of his inventions, including an armonica, a musical instrument made from spinning glass.
Exit Franklin Court via the Chestnut Street exit. Turn right on Chestnut, cross Fourth Street and enter the (13) Second Bank of the United States, now a gallery of 185 portraits of the Founding Fathers, including a painting and bust of Franklin.
Leave the bank and make a right onto Chestnut Street. Head to Fifth and Chestnut Streets. End your tour where America began, at (14) Independence Hall. Both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were signed here. The guided tour includes the courtroom where lawyers from opposing sides shared tables and George Washington's "rising sun" chair in the Assembly Room, set up as it was during the Constitutional Convention in 1787. An original draft of the Constitution is in the west wing.

Ford Explorer Recall 13V109000
Potential Fuel Leak From Fuel Tank
Due to an incorrectly manufactured fuel tank, an unexpected fuel leak can develop from the fuel tank.
Ford will begin notifying owners of affected vehicles on April 22, 2013. If you notice a fuel leak or smell fuel, stop driving your car and call your Ford dealer for instruction. If you don't receive recall notification and you feel you should have, please contact your Ford dealer. They may ask for your vehicle identification number (VIN), so have it handy when calling. The Ford recall number is 13S03.
During the manufacturing process, the side seam of the fuel tank may not have been properly sealed and as a result, the fuel tank would be weakened and not perform as expected in the event of a crash. In addition, a fuel leak could develop at any time. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank and replace it as necessary on vehicles included in this recall.
March 27, 2013
Ford is recalling certain model year 2012 Taurus, Lincoln MKS, and model year 2013 Explorer vehicles manufactured July 19, 2011, through March 15, 2012. In the affected vehicles, the fuel tanks may have a marginally sealed seam in the side of the tank. As a result, the fuel tanks may not provide the expected strength in the event of an impact. The tanks may also leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a fire.
Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel tanks and replace them as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 22, 2013. Ford's recall campaign number is 13S03. Owners may contact Ford Motor Company Customer Relationship Center at 1-866-436-7332.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Monkey see, monkey do: Conservatives echo Bush campaign's distortions of Kerry's "pessimistic" Iraq position
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU
As Senator John Kerry has intensified his criticism of President George W. Bush's Iraq policy in recent days, conservative media have reliably echoed Bush-Cheney '04 distortions of what Kerry said, labeling Kerry a "pessimist" who advocates "retreat and defeat."
As Media Matters for America has noted, conservative columnists David Brooks and Frank J. Gaffney Jr. echoed these distortions of Kerry's September 20 speech, claiming falsely that Kerry seeks a hasty withdrawal from Iraq. In fact, Kerry explicitly predicated troop withdrawal on increased international involvement:
If the president would move in this direction ... if he would bring in more help from other countries to provide resources and forces ... train the Iraqis to provide their own security ... develop a reconstruction plan that brings real benefits to the Iraqi people ... and take the steps necessary to hold credible elections next year ... we could begin to withdraw U.S. forces starting next summer and realistically aim to bring all our troops home within the next four years.
In a September 20 press release, Bush-Cheney '04 spokesman Steve Schmidt said, "John Kerry's latest position on Iraq is to advocate retreat and defeat in the face of terror." In a September 18 press release, Bush-Cheney '04 campaign manager Ken Mehlman said, "Since John Kerry first called our allies 'window dressing,' he has been pushing his pessimistic view of progress in the War on Terror." He concluded, "John Kerry's pessimism, shifting positions and lack of resolve will not win the fight against the terrorists."
In the days following Kerry's speech, conservatives in the media repeated these distortions of Kerry's position:
- Rush Limbaugh, radio host: "The public doesn't want to cast a vote for a man running for president who seems to be longing for us to fail. Americans do not want to cast a vote for a man [Kerry] who is assuring us that we're screwing up and that we're going to lose. There are some wackos in his party that may support this, but it's not a majority of Americans and it never has been." [The Rush Limbaugh Show, 9/23]
- William Kristol, Weekly Standard executive editor: "Kerry says in his speech that he would start the withdrawal of U.S. forces next summer, and would seek to complete it in four years. But would he even wait four years before completing a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq? However long it actually took, a President Kerry would make getting out of Iraq his top priority, thus handing a victory to the terrorists in what Prime Minister Blair called Sunday 'the crucible in which the future of global terrorism will be determined.'" [Column, The Weekly Standard's online Daily Standard, 9/20]
- Dick Morris, political strategist: "[U]ltimately, a race for president in -- people look at events as symbolic speech about character and persona. They don't care what your position is on these issues. They care what your position reflects of what kind of guy you are. ... And they think Kerry is a dour, sour, pessimistic, negative guy." [FOX News Channel, The O'Reilly Factor, 9/23]
- The Washington Times: "Worse, his heart just doesn't seem to be in a stubborn fight for victory. John Forbes Kerry seems increasingly like a modern-day version of the defeatist, enervated men of the failed League of Nations." [Editorial, 9/24]
- New York Post: "Kerry seems to think America has already lost the war in Iraq. And maybe the War on Terror, too.
"If the terrorists were listening, they must have reached a similar conclusion: that they have made great strides in overwhelming the infidel, that America is growing wobbly and that, with perhaps a few more months of sustained violence in Iraq, Kerry will become president -- and America will flee." [Editorial, 9/21]
- Amir Taheri, New York Post columnist: "Kerry's exit strategy, on the other hand, reflects his belief that Iraq is another Vietnam. He is not proposing a 'last chopper from Saigon' strategy; that would not look good on TV. Rather, his strategy could be described as 'cut and whistle your way out.
"A new version of 'cut and run' in Iraq could embolden the forces of Islamofascism whose strategic aim is the destruction of the West and its current standard-bearer, the United States." ["Kerry's Answer: Cut and Run," 9/24]
- Morton M. Kondracke, Roll Call executive editor and FOX News Channel contributor: "I would guess that he [Iraqi interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi] thinks that if Kerry gets elected, his chances of surviving and Iraq surviving as a democracy, are less than when Bush was there.
"I just don't think that pessimism works, especially when American troops are under fire. And you know, he may be saying the truth as he -- as he witnesses it in the reports and stuff like that, increased casualty rates, lots more attacks. But the question is, you know, is one of perseverance.
"I mean, Kerry has suddenly used the word 'victory.' He didn't use it in his big speech last week at New York University. But the question is, what does he mean by 'victory'? And you know, is it a George Aiken kind of victory, where you -- referring to the senator back in 1966 who said, you know, about Vietnam just declare victory and get out whether we were victorious or not? I mean, you have the feeling that with Kerry he would try to get an election and then hand it over to the Iraqis, and withdraw whether we were ready to withdraw or not." [FOX News Channel, Special Report with Brit Hume, 9/23]
- Bill Sammon, Washington Times senior White House correspondent and FOX News Channel political analyst: "It's one thing to be Pollyanna-ish ... it's another thing to be simply optimistic and hopeful, which I think Allawi and Bush were this week. And then Kerry comes off looking pessimistic by saying, 'No, it's all gloom and doom over there.' That doesn't play well." [FOX Broadcasting Company, FOX News Sunday, 9/26]

|Learn Spanish in Barcelona
Learning Spanish in Barcelona
"To have another language is to possess a second soul! " Charlemagne
Are you just learning for fun because you want to stay in Spain for few weeks, or because you want to travel in Spanish speaking countries? Do you want to learn to speak, read and write Spanish fluently because you want to live and work in Spain? This is important to the way you approach your Spanish classes. If you only want to pick up some "travel Spanish," then we would recommend taking a week or two of Spanish classes of a few hours a week, nothing too strenuous. Don't sign up for half day intensive classes. They are designed for students, who want to learn a lot of Spanish in a short period of time. 2 hours a day is more than enough to get a basic knowledge. In addition to Spanish classes you might consider buying a good phrase Spanish book to supplement your classes. Then hit the streets of Barcelona and start talking. You will quickly learn phrases that you can use when travelling, but again I should stress, that a few classes and a phrase book will not mean you are speaking fluent Spanish. Far from it. If you want to learn to speak Spanish fluently, then you must take a more serious approach to your classes and go for intensive classes.
A good tip is to learn the grammar from day one. Many people think they can "pick up" Spanish. Many people think" I don't need the grammar, I just want to speak Spanish!" That is sort of buying the cart without the horse. A language consists of grammar and vocabulary. Grammar provides a structure for how the vocabulary is used. If you have a long term interest in learning Spanish, then you must learn the basic grammar. Speaking a language without using grammar is like building a house with out a proper foundation. A house of cards. A strong foundation of grammar will ensure that you can keep adding more levels to your building. But without a foundation one day your building will topple. Grammar is boring and hard work. But without knowing the rules of the language you might end up speaking fluent "Spanish" but with the grammar of a child which sounds impressive to the person speaking but not to anyone else. So one of the biggest tips about learning Spanish, if your plan is to live in Barcelona for a long time is to learn the grammar now.
If you are thinking of learning Spanish properly, then you should know a few things and prepare accordingly. First of all you should know that almost all Spanish schools in Barcelona and Spain use the immersion technique, which means that everything in the classroom is in Spanish all the time, even for beginners, even on the first day. There are several reasons for this. One is that the immersion method is more effective once you get used to it. It forces the students to pay more attention, study harder and use their dictionary. The other reason is that many of the Spanish teachers don't speak much English. And even the ones who do, will not usually speak English in the classroom. A third reason is that the classes are usually full of students from all over the world and some of them would not understand the teaching in English.
So it makes sense to teach Spanish in Spanish in Spain. But if you are totally new to languages this can be a huge challenge. Imagine four hours of intensive Spanish the first day – all in Spanish. And the school books are all in Spanish. No explanations anywhere in English. You might not understand much on your first day and the next day there will 4 more hours with new material being covered. And the first couple of days are usually the easy ones. But you asked for it. Intensive! You want to learn as fast as possible. This fast paced teaching works well for people who know a little Spanish, or similar languages, but if that is not you, then I suggest you prepare well.
What can you do to prepare?
Don't underestimate the work involved
Don't leave town

A front yard garden in Memphis becomes ground zero for home-grown food fight
From Green Right Now Reports
If you think people should have a right to plant vegetable gardens wherever they want on their property, including the front yard, you need to know about Adam Guerrero.
He's a a school teacher in Memphis who planted a veggie garden in front of his house, turning a non-productive patch of grass into a food generator. Guerrero uses his garden to teach his students about self-reliance, and nutrition.
It's hard to imagine that anyone would disapprove of such a project, but because of a neighbor's complaint, Guerrero has been cited by a judge and ordered to take down the garden.
Kitchen Gardeners International has put out an appeal for help. The group is hoping to gather supporters for home gardens who will help this humble math teacher stand his ground.

Agency Sees 70 Church Abuse Cases Per Week
Seventy cases a week of child-abuse allegations against American churches come to the attention of the Christian Ministry Resources, a tax and legal-advice publisher serving about 75,000 congregations and 1,000 denominational agencies. CMR's annual surveys of about 1,000 churches nationwide have sought information on sexual abuse since 1993. Surveys for the last decade have averaged 70 cases a week. "The Catholics have gotten all the attention from the media, but this problem is even greater with the Protestant churches simply because of their far larger numbers," said James Cobble, executive director of CMR. "I think the CMR numbers are striking, yet quite reasonable," commented Anson Shupe, an Indiana University professor and author of books on church abuse. "To me it says Protestants are less reluctant to come forward because they don't put their clergy on as high a pedestal as Catholics do with their priests." Shupes believes the 70-cases-a-week number is likely low. In a door-to-door survey in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area in 1998, he found that 4% of 1,607 families reported sexual abuse by clergy. The CMR statistics show most abuse is at Protestant churches, 42% of abusers are church volunteers, and 25% of perpetrators are minors accused of molesting other children at church. About 21% of allegations reported in the 2000 survey resulted in lawsuits or out-of-court settlements. Church reforms have been largely at the behest of insurance companies, which began dropping coverage of churches without screening policies. "What drove leaders to begin to respond to this issue was not the welfare of children. It was fear of large, costly lawsuits," said Cobble. Source: Christian Science Monitor, April 5, 2002 It's OK to Molest Teens? Church officials and apologists have come out of the woodwork insisting the image of "pedophile priests" is a "myth." Leading academic proponent of this notion is Philip Jenkins, an Episcopalian, professor and author of Pedophiles and Priests (Oxford University Press, 1996), who writes: "having sex with a 16 or 17 year old boy or girl may be phenomenally stupid and wrong in many ways--immoral, sinful, an abuse of authority--but it's very different from pedophilia, which is the exploitation of prepubescent children. In most of these cases with older teenagers, there's some degree of consent, and in most jurisdictions, they're legal." Catholic writer Garry Wills lambasts Jenkins' book as a "handy guide to evasion," dignifying Catholic rationalization of a corrupt hierarchy. The church, and Jenkins, promote the term "ephebophile," someone with an interest in "post-pubescent boys or girls." This distinction was lost on All-Star Pro-Baseball player Tom Paciorek, now 55 and silver-haired, who made a tearful public statement in March about being molested in his teens for 4 years by Rev. Gerald Shirilla. Shirilla was removed by the Archdiocese of Detroit only in March. Paciorek and his three brothers, unbeknownst to each other, were all molested one by one during the 1960s by Shirilla, who taught at St. Ladislaus Catholic school. "When you're a kid and you're not able to articulate, who's going to believe you? The church back then was so powerful, there's nothing that a kid could do," recalled Tom's brother, John. Tom's lowest point, at age 16, was when the priest asked his parents if the boy could spend the weekend at his home. "When I heard my parents say yes, I thought, 'Oh, my god, what is going to happen to me?' " He told the Free-Press that at one point during those 72 hours, he wanted to die: "It was relentless. I mean, I felt like I was a prisoner at his house. . . . I remember saying . . . 'God, is this ever doing to end?' " Brother Mike "first became a victim of his when I was 8, 9 or 10 years old." Shirilla would lock the door, remove Mike's clothes and say "Your brothers used to love this." Rembert Weakland, archbishop of Milwaukee, infamously declared in the Catholic Herald, May 1988: "We must not imply that the abuser is not guilty of serious crime, but we could easily give a false impression that any adolescent who becomes sexually involved with an older person does so without any degree of personal responsibility. Sometimes not all adolescent victims are so 'innocent'; some can be sexually very active and aggressive and often quite streetwise." In an interview with WTMJ-TV in late March, Weakland said that sexual activity with a prepubescent child is very serious and the perpetrator "incurable." But once again he distinguished between children and older minors. Rebutted Peter Isley, a Milwaukee man abused as a child by a priest: "Each act of sexual abuse--whether forced upon a child or a minor--creates devastating and lifelong consequences. The laws of our society reflect the belief that the sexual abuse of a minor is a crime. The archdiocese needs to fully support this position and remove all men from the priesthood who have committed criminal acts against youngsters, whether that youngster is prepubescent or post-pubescent."

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2067 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Georgia's barrier island beaches, coastal salt marshes and freshwater wetlands support 86 species of seabirds, shorebirds and wading birds, collectively known as waterbirds. The Waterbird Conservation Initiative includes:
Conservation efforts include protection and management of five sand islands specifically for beach-nesting and migratory birds. While this effort is especially valuable for seabirds, resident and migratory shorebirds also benefit from the protection of critical nesting and resting areas free from disturbances. One of the areas, Little Egg Island Bar, supports one of the largest colonies of nesting seabirds on the South Atlantic coast.
A dredge-spoil island near the Brunswick shipping channel created by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers in 2007 and owned by the state has become an important nesting site for Georgia's waterbirds. The island supported a very large royal tern colony as well as smaller numbers of black skimmers, gull-billed terns, brown pelicans and laughing gulls in 2010. Least terns started nesting on the dredge island, but abandoned it and nested on Andrews Island instead.
Surveys on migrant and wintering shorebirds documented the continued importance of staging areas for red knots in the late summer and fall; spring staging of whimbrels that may include a significant portion of the Atlantic flyway population; the single largest concentration of wintering semipalmated plovers in the U.S.; and, an important Atlantic coast concentration of wintering piping plovers from all three breeding populations.
Cooperative research projects involving two large-bodied shorebirds, the American oystercatcher and marbled godwit linked Georgia's conservation efforts for these Wildlife Action Plan priority species with the biological richness of at least 10 other states. Georgia's wintering marbled godwits spend nine months in Georgia every year and breed in North and South Dakota, while Georgia's wintering oystercatchers have been recorded nesting from South Carolina to Massachusetts.
A number of northbound whimbrels were fitted with radio and satellite telemetry backpacks. The radio-tagged birds were tracked on the Georgia coast before migrating, and the satellite-tracked birds were followed to their breeding grounds in Canada's Northwest Territory. One was tracked all the way south to Suriname.
A beach and shell rake survey of the entire Georgia coast was conducted to count territorial pairs of American oystercatchers and Wilson's plovers. Numbers of both birds have increased significantly since DNR's last survey 10 years ago. The more recent effort documented 116 pairs of American oystercatchers and 359 pairs of Wilson's plovers. Areas with high numbers of birds and potential for human disturbance were marked with signs.
During fall 2010, Nongame biologists also trapped and banded more than 90 American oystercatchers in the mouth of the Altamaha River.

Well, where do I start?
A few months back I signed up for a TESOL distance learning course, and everything was going great until I finished my modules.Lets just say I'm very disappointed and upset with my school.
They are a language school in Prague and the certificate program I signed up for is 100 hrs + 10 hrs teaching practice arranged where I live. Sounds good and legit, right? That's what I thought, especially since they rant and rave on their website that they are "with" you from the beginning and throughout your TEFL career and offer stellar job guidance. In my opinion that is crap and used as a marketing tool, so they can steal money from humble seekers. They claim to be a member of the "College of Teachers," but as of right now they don't seem to be abiding by the strict code of ethics they are known for enforcing.
Let me get to the point. I have had several questions regarding my teaching practice (which they promised I would have), how to make my resume and cover letter appealing to employers (I'm totally lost with this since I have no tefl experience) etc...
Advice that I would think would just be few of several aspects offered with such a great job guidance program. I was basically told "that is your responsibility" and that I should "redefine" where I want to teach.
Perhaps I did chose some difficult countries that I would like to teach EFL in. However, I did express those concerns long ago (about 1/2 through my course) and they were never answered. I was just told that " job guidance is done at the end of the course" and "speak to you at the end of the course." But with their "global reputation" and " endless contacts worldwide" I don't see how answering my questions could present such a problem.
Now, my concerns have been placed on the back burner with no word from the course administrator about my concerns or my teaching practice (you would think they would already have prearranged my teaching practice)
Lets just say I'm more livid with this institution. But I need to move forward. I have no teaching ex, probably will not actually receive my certificate,and I don't have enough time or money to invest in a "real" course. I'm wondering if anyone has advice as to where I can look, (after being screwed like this) possibly teaching for online schools that provide training, to get something fairly quickly.
How can I still write a great cover letter and resume, even after all this?
Please help!

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
This can sometimes create a happy outcome. For example, the soil-dwelling bacterium Bacillus subtilis has viral genes that help protect it from heavy metals and other harmful substances in the soil.
Other times, viruses can wreak havoc when they bring in new genes. For example, Vibrio cholerae, the bacterium that causes cholera, is harmless in itself. The disease-causing toxin that causes illness is actually made by a virus that at some point smuggled itself into its host's genome.
Viruses can also influence host genes by where they insert themselves into their host's DNA. Recent decoding of the human genome shows that viral DNA sequences have been reproducing jointly with our genes for ages.
Some of these DNA sequences stay put, but others seem to move about our genome, jumping from place to place on a chromosome or from chromosome to chromosome. These "mobile elements" take up nearly half of the human genome.
Hemophilia and muscular dystrophy are two human diseases that researchers now believe resulted from mobile elements that, while skipping about the genome, ungraciously barged right into the middle of key human genes.

Just wanted to let you know that I have finally updated stats.hockeyanalysis.com to include 2011-12 data though I have not yet included multi-year data that includes 2011-12.
I have also included in this updated zone start adjusted data which adjusts for zone starts by not considering the 10 seconds following an offensive/defensive zone faceoff. I have included both 5v5 and 5v5 zone start adjusted data and the 5v5 close, 5v5 tied, 5v5 up 1, 5v5 up 2+, 5v5 down 1 and 5v5 down 2 data are zone start adjusted. It doesn't make any sense to zone start adjust PP and PK so the 5v4 and 4v5 data is not zone start adjusted.
As always, if you have any issues or questions with anything at stats.hockeyanalysis.com let me know.
As an interesting aside on zone starts, I have noticed that zone starts affect shots/fenwick/corsi somewhat significantly but do not affect goal data much. I thought this was strange at first but then the explanation became clear when I looked at shooting percentages.
|All 5v5
|ZS Adjusted 5v5
|10 seconds after Ozone faceoff
Shots within 10 seconds of a faceoff don't go in nearly as frequently as shots at any other time. The reason for this is probably that the majority of these shots likely come from the point after an offensive faceoff win. Also, the goalie is perfectly set and ready for the shot and the defending team has their players in optimal defending positions and are usually fully rested.
So, what does this mean? It means you can actually probably pretty much ignore zone starts if you are looking at goal data. Zone starts have very little influence on the rate at which goals are scored.

Unlike the evident selflessness and esprit de corps that have propelled your Montreal Canadiens into a 6-2 start that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE was expecting, the prevailing ethos at the modest suburban abode of the ol' hockey blogger can be summed up in three words:
What about me?
So I will leave it to the Commentariat – brilliant hockey experts, every mother's son and daughter – to pick over the stat sheet of a fifth straight home-ice win.
I'm banging out a few thoughts and then joining the rest of the civilized world, parked in front of our flat-screen TVs.
Here's the game in a nutshell:
Ottawa, which had a day off on Saturday, dominated the third-period against a team playing their second game in as many afternoons.
As the Canadiens clung to the 2-1 lead Erik Cole had given them some 48 minutes earlier, Craig Anderson was on the bench as the Senators pressed for an equalizer.
Faceoff in the Canadiens zone. On the ice in red jerseys: Josh Gorges, Raphael Diaz, Erik Cole, David Desharnais and – wait for it – Lars Eller.
Yeah, the guy recently paroled from Michel Therrien's doghouse.
Eller played 18 minutes against Buffalo and had a goal and two assists.
His reward? With Max Pacioretty miraculously back in the lineup, Eller was bumped down to the fourth line, centring Travis Moen and Colby Armstrong. His ToI against Ottawa was less than 11 minutes.
But there he was with the game on the line, as Therrien employed the old Scotty Bowman technique of using two centres for defensive-zone faceoffs.
This is a coach who gives players second chances. And Therrien talked to Ryan White before the game, pumping the fourth-liner's tires and telling him he's part of the plan.
And White will be needed.
Through their unexpectedly hot start, the Canadiens have avoided injury … save for the Max Pacioretty hangnail they expect us to believe was an appendectomy. The good health can't last in this season's crazily compressed schedule – there's another back-to-back in midweek – and everyone will get some playing time.
Therrien was very adroit in protecting the one-goal lead. The coach moved Moen up to Rene Bourque's spot on the Tomas Plekanec line late in the game. Brandon Prust played with Armstrong and Eller.
But with four minutes to go in the period, the coach had Bourque out with Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher – a nice vote of confidence in the Flying Freshmen.
If Therrien has screwed anything up so far this season, I haven't noticed.
OK, maybe Carey Price should have started in Ottawa. Having bested Martin F. Brodeur and Ryan Miller, Price added Craig Anderson to the list of hot goaltenders he's defeated. As has been the case in every game except the loss to Toronto and the win over Winnipeg, Price was lights-out against the Senators, stopping 32 shots and getting plenty of puck-clearing help from a six-man defence corps that didn't miss Kaberle.
Gorges blocked seven shots, running his league-leading total to 29. Alexei Emelin, however, did not lead the Canadiens in hits, as Cole – who came to life this weekend – had six of the team's 28.
There's lots more to chew over … including piss-poor officiating that hurt (that absurd goalie interference call on Tomas Plekanec) and helped (an even worse call on Jacob Silfverberg, negating the tying goal).
The PK pitched another shutout and was perfect on the weekend.
But for the first time this season, the Canadiens power-play took and 0-for.
The Canadiens improved their Northeast Division record to 2-2.
Next up: Boston at the Bell Centre on Wednesday.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm ready for some football.
• The Canadiens swept Super Bowl weekend for the first time since 2006, when they rang up back-to-back shutouts of Boston (2-0) and Philadelphia (5-0).

Hi all,
my younger brother and I were looking into costumes to hopefully join the 501st and help out at various charity events. While he is heading down the sith route, I have started slowly acquiring items for a ESB fett costume. We came across the Star Fortress Productions website and were amazed at the volume of stuff that they carry.
Does anyone know if they are any good? or is it a case of too good to be true? Keeping in mind that we both are on a tight-ish budget is this a good site buy from?
Any input or suggestions are MUCH appreciated!
Here's a link to their fett gear.

In an early March cover story, Time outlined "10 Ideas for the Next 10 Years: A thinker's guide to the most important trends of the new decade." This got me wondering about the next decade in green building—a thinking architect's guide to the most important ideas.
The first decade of the new millennium was a watershed period for sustainable design. Since LEED was introduced in 2000, the U.S. Green Building Council arguably has exceeded its original goal to mainstream green. Now that sustainability, at least in some baseline form, is standard practice for the building industry, what's next? Instead of predicting what will happen, I'll focus on what could—or should—happen. How would I like to see green grow?
1. Technology: Buckminster Fuller's concept of "ephemeralization"—that technology gets smaller as it gets more sophisticated—could go extreme, and energy systems could appear to disappear. Green buildings would no longer wear technology on their sleeves.
2. Construction: More automated processes, such as robotic construction, could become more common in conjunction with a growing demand for better building craft, leading to smarter, faster, tighter, richer architecture.
3. Manufacturing: The building materials industry could concentrate less on individual parts and pieces and more on whole assemblies and components. On the other hand, factories could begin to disappear as on-site manufacturing becomes more common.
4. Economics: Smarter building products and systems could become both cheaper and more effective, finally killing the misperception that sustainable design has to cost more.
5.Metrics: Subtler tools for evaluating building performance could find clearer links between quantitative factors (energy, water, etc.) and elusive quality-of-life indicators.
6.Practice: Architects could expand their scope of services to guide clients well before predesign and well after occupancy. As a result, the profession could become more financially stable and more essential to business.
7. Operation: Smart monitoring of buildings and the global sharing of performance statistics could become standard practice, creating unprecedented feedback loops and richer networks of information.
8.Education: Ecological literacy could reform education at every level and transform design schools around more aggressively interdisciplinary curricula.
9.History: The scholarly history of architecture could focus less on monuments of wealth and power (temples, churches, museums) and more on the interaction of people and place over time.
10. Culture: The glamorization of the individual architect could become less and less appealing as design becomes valued more for how it serves communities. Death to starchitecture.

Hello. back in december, my aunt was in the hospital due to illness, which I posted before.
Well, I have more news. it's not bad. yet. First, The family is moving again. We're going to Florida, a little south of Jacksonville. Partly because of my Aunt's situation, and partly because my family wants a little more activity. We'll be moving at the end of the month. Yet tomorrow, My Aunt and Grandmother will be going to Jacksonville to talk about a liver transplant to see if she's eligible. My mother has concerns of bad news tomorrow.
Now, I may sound crazy, or then again, some of you older guys here have been down this road in life before and you may know where I'm coming from here. To put it simply, in November, I had a strange feeling something was fixing to happen. Something not good of course. It turned out my Aunt had to go to the hospital. I'm not getting any strange feelings right now, so I can't really say. I'll have an answer tomorrow when I find out. In the meantime, I ask that you keep my Aunt in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks everyone

I'll be speaking at the upcoming Ontario Bar Association Institute 2014, "Internationalizing Commercial Contracts" program and have prepared a paper entitled "Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Canada". Here's the abstract:
This paper provides an overview of the governing conflict of laws principles for the recognition or enforcement of foreign judgments, including an analysis of the recent Court of Appeal for Ontario decision in Yaiguaje et al. v. Chevron Corporation et al. and its implications for the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, generally. The issue of state immunity as an obstacle to foreign judgment enforcement is also considered.
A copy of the paper is available on SSRN here.

By Chris Harris
Arsène Wenger will consider the balance of his centre-back pairing before he names his team this weekend.
The Frenchman has plenty of options in defence now Thomas Vermaelen, Johan Djourou and Sebastien Squillaci are fit to challenge this season's main partnership of Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker.
Wenger rested Koscielny for the midweek Champions League draw against Marseille but he finished second in the Club's official Player of the Month poll and is pushing for a recall against West Bromwich Albion. The manager will consider the combinations carefully.
"The balance is vital," Wenger told Arsenal Player.
"In fairness though, I must say that all the three can play with each other. Koscielny and Vermaelen can play together and Mertesacker can play with Vermaelen and Koscielny. It gives us a bit of an opportunity to rotate a bit when needed and people are tired.
"Ideally, Vermaelen will play on the left [of the centre-back pair]. But Koscielny can play on the left as well so we have a good potential and balance there. I think that all the three can play at any moment, and we still have Djourou and Squillaci as well.
"People wanted us to buy a centre-back so much and then suddenly you realise we have plenty."
The full interview with the boss is now available on Arsenal Player.
