Why a science addition,
and why now? Bethel's
new nursing program in-creases
the demands on Be-thel's
science facilities.
However, according to Liss-ner,
following the recent
additions to the FA and

the science depart-ment's

letters I nmate's fight for life initiates request for financial assistance
Dear Editor,
I am a prisoner on death
row at the Arizona State
Prison and have been here
for three and a half years. I
have a rather unusual re-quest
to make of you.
I don't have any family
as I was raised in an or-phanage
because my par-ents
were killed in a car
accident when I was a ba-by.
I also don't have any
money to fight my death
penalty with and the re-quest
that I have is that
you run this letter in your
school newspaper for law
students or students of crim-inology
to read or just any-one
that might be interest-ed.
I need funds drastically
to fight my case and to get
an investigator who can
find things out for me that
I need to know for my
appeal. There is no doubt
that I am guilty of the
crime that that I am here
for, and in my appeal I am
not trying to get released
to the streets but just to
have my sentence reduced
to life in prison.
I do feel that since I am
guilty of my charges that I
should have to pay for
them in some way but I
don't happen to agree with
the death penalty. At least
I don't feel that the state
has the right to just take
people out and execute
them anymore than indi-viduals
have the right to
murder anyone.
In exchange for any help
that I might receive from
any students or anyone
that might want to help
me in this fight for my life
I would be willing to give
the details of my crime
and other crimes that I
have pulled in the past
and have done time for in
another state to maybe
help them with their class-es,
also what it is like to
live on death row and to
be in prison in general.
I would also answer any
questions they might have
and try to write any kind
of papers or essays that
might help them out. There
are a lot of things that go
on in prisons that people
don't know about that need
to be changed. There are
also a lot of things that I
feel lead a person to a life
of crime in the first place.
The only way we are
ever going to eliminate the
problem of the rising crime
rate in the United States is
to study its cause and then
prevent it, not by placing
people in prison after they
have committed the
crime and not be building
bigger and better prisons
and handing out stiffer pri-son
Most prisons in Amer-ica
are just schools for
crime or places to turn
borderline criminals into
real animals to be released
upon the community at
the end of their sentences.
It also drives a lot of peo-ple
to totally insane who
might otherwise have been
good citizens and a profit
to society and they end up
in hospitals the rest of
their lives.
This is about all that I
have to offer and I know it
isn't much, but if it could
help or save one young
person from a life that
could end up in the gas
Call letters, DJs, radio frequency, open air waves, the
broadcast medium. KABY—Bethel's own answer to the
question, does your college have its own radio station?
Theoretically, yes, we do. Operationally, no, we don't.
KABY has been inoperable since last April when a
small blow-out on the control board caused the station
to prematurely shut down before the end of the semes-ter.
The station was to have been repaired during the
summer months but, due to a lack of staffing, and
funds, the station remains in its comatose state.
Last year's station manager relinquished authority
over the station in May when new media chiefs were
selected for this year. It was therefore the new station
manager's responsibility to have the control board
repaired, at least this was the understanding of' the
former station manager.
Plans for KABY were initiated in the early part of the
summer. Budget proposals were made, rejected, revised,
rejected and finally approved with cuts measured in the
thousands of dollars. Administration did not believe
that the station should receive the originally proposed
budget of $8500 until the station had proved its
KABY management disagreed, posing the question,
how can we prove ourselves if we don't have the money
with which to operate and implement new ideas? The
administration stood firm, reasoning that there was no
concrete KABY philosophy, no proof of substantial lis-tening
audience, the station's history was one of con-stant
in-house controversy, and KABY to date, did not
have a very good reputation.
The administration is willing to search for funds for
an organization if it is properly run. KABY had yet to

just might be worth it.

that it was a vehicle being used well. There is no
doubt that the radio station has potential for being a
good vehicle at Bethel, but potential is one thing, hard
fact another.
Following the resignation of the originally-chosen
general manager, the communication board is still
searching for a replacement. When chosen, his/her first
task will be to put the station back in operation. KABY
was given permanent (as opposed to probationary) sta-tus
last spring after a relatively brief discussion, and
subsequent vote, in senate. Thus, the new manager
need not fear ousting—manager, staff, radio station and
We question the validity of the radio station's exist-ence.
We applaud the administration for witholding
funds from KABY. We firmly believe that an organiza-tion
such as KABY must put its very best foot forward
before it receives a push from behind to help it along.
Attempts—very strong ones—were made last year to
give KABY a name- due respect. Those at tempts stand
at the end of the line when one considers most recent
developments. The people of this community, particu-larly
the administration, do not owe KABY anything.
KABY must give of itself first before it merits our
respect, our listening ears and, most importantly, our
KABY cannot be compared to the other media at
Bethel. It is, to begin with, not a written medium as are
the Roster, yearbook and the Clarion. KABY has not
obtained the status and respect of the other media. Its
constitutents are few in number, its wide-reaching
affects are slim and its overall effectiveness has yet to
be determined.
KABY has the right to be given a chance. Bethel's
expanding media course offerings require its existence.
A radio station is not without merit. Yet we feel that
until the station, its manager and its staff reach the
point where KABY can be called "a first class thing,"
further efforts should not be made to give simply
because it is requested. —jnb
al checks will be not be
accepted by the prison. Pos-tal
money orders only and
any and all help will be
greatly appreciated.

Bethel's student senate
allocates students' money,
designated for activities,
to various organizations,
attempting to meet the
needs of the students.
The senate receives mon-ey
from the administra-tion
and from the student ac-tivities

This money is bro-ken
down into a budget,
allowing $3,000 for stu-dent
activities to fund dif-ferent
on-campus organi-zations

Certain factors affect the
senate's distribution of
these funds to different
organizations. First, accord-ing

of the student senate,
the group should have

more money to groups that

Regents honor staff, faculty for service
by Beth Stien
A spirited Scottish pres-byterian
preacher, two re-gal
and rival queens and a
host of Scottish earls will
reign in the Bethel College
theatre department for the
next seven weeks, as Dir-ector
Jeffrey S. Miller and
cast prepare for the fall
production, "Mary of Sco-tland."
The play, by Max-well
Anderson, presents
the bitter conflict between
two queens, Mary Stuart
of Scotland and Elizabeth
Tudor of England.
Miller, an instructor in
theatre arts, chose "Mary
of Scotland" because he
feels the department needs
to perform a period/clas-sical
drama. He anticipates
that the play will draw a
wide range of people both
inside and outside the Be-thel
community. "Mary of
Scotland" carries strong lit,
erary appeal as well as
historic appeal. "Some
may want to come just to
see the costumes!" said

'Moral holy war'
invades politics
by John Bower
As the political rhetoric leading up to the 1980 presi-dential
and other major elections warms up, the Bethel
community will find its collective reputation at stake
and in fact challenged from a variety of perspectives. A
great loss of dignity and self-respect will occur if Bethel
becomes identified with the so-called "evangelical pol-itical
right" which has attempted to lock the evangelical
community into "moral holy war" over issues identified
to be critical from their perspective. Were this group
approaching political issues from an avowed self-interest
perspective the situation would be tolerable.
However, it is tragically represented that their political
priorities related to national morality are biblically
As almost every reader will recall, the issues identi-fied
by the moral watch-dogs revolve around anti-pornography,
pro-prayer in public schools, anti-civil
rights to known homosexuals, pro-increased military
might, anti-ERA and anti-abortion. While it cannot be
denied that these issues are worthy of our concern and
discussion, it certainly can be demonstrated that they
are not the priority concerns of the people of God who
take scriptural mandates seriously. Also, there is no
clear lock-step position which emerges from the scrip-tures
in relationship to any of these issues. Yet, we are
being bombarded by a few major "evangelical leaders"
to have a single perspective on these issues if we are to
be considered "Bible-believing Christians."
My personal reaction to all this is deep concern, lead-ing
almost to a feeling of revulsion that some of our
most vocal "evangelical leaders" have selected the "big
six" issues noted above as having grown out of their
biblical understanding. It is not only the issues which
have been selected, but those which have been neg-lected
that both frighten and sadden me.
My challenge and request is that before voting or
speaking out on political issues, please examine the
whole counsel of God" as presented in the scriptures
After such an examination determine which particular
political or party platform makes the most sense in
terms of the common good. Even then, as we go to the
polls, our responsiblity as Christians is not necessarily
to vote for what might appear to be our own immediate
vested interests. Rather, our primary concern should be
that of our brother's and sisters, particularly those most
vulnerable and powerless in our social, economical, and
political system.

portrays O'Neill's family
not as it was, but as he
wished it had been. The
Miller family experiences
both pain and pleasure as
their adolescent son Ri-chard
struggles with grow-ing
pains at the threshold
of manhood. Nat Miller is
the father O'Neill never
had; Richard is O'Neill him-self.
Set in Connecticut on
the Fourth of July, 1906,
"Ah, Wilderness!" is O'Neill's
attempt to write a play
which was "true to the
spirit of the American large

the century, " according to

Nat Miller, played by
Ben Nitz, is the "ideal"

Kate O'Toole is also very
convincing as Essie, the

to have a say in everything
that goes on around her, as
illustrated when she blurts
to her daughter Mildred,
"Sit up straight in your
chair! You want to grow
up a humpback'?"
Among other fine per-formances
was that of for-mer
Bethelite Al Arasim,
portraying "Uncle Sid", an
indolent but happily tol-erated
drunk trapped into
the role of jester in return

Sid comments to Nat (as
he tips the bowl to his

Gusties' offense takes Royals
By Phil Almeroth
The Bethel Royals foot-ball
team lost its third
straight game Saturday 35-
21 to the Gusties of Gus-tavus
Adolphus. The Roy-als
were in the game until
midway through the sec-ond
quarter before turn-overs
and a strong offen-sive
display by Gustavus
sealed the Royals fate.
After the Gusties had
moved out to a quick 10-0
lead, the Bethel offense got
moving. Jim Anderstrom,
who had four passes inter-cepted,
was passing well
on this drive. Fine catches
by Ken Cooper, last week's
offensive player of the
week, and Rich Graves had
helped keep the drive go-ing.
With the ball on the Gus-ties
11-yard line, Ander-strom
hit Pete Kramka with
a pass in the end zone. The
tight end hauled it in, and
Paul Lindberg's conversion
made the score 10-7. But
the Royal defense devel-oped
some holes, and by
halftime Gustavus had
raised the score to 19-7.

according to Head Coach
Dud Lutton. "By that I
mean that everyone knew
what to do, but it's just a

point where we have to

Be customers still exposed by router snafu
ISP playing cat and mouse on security
O2-owned ISP Be is fighting a constant battle to stay one step ahead of hackers because of a router vulnerability exposed back in February.
Be subscribers were exposed when London student Sid Karunaratne demonstrated it was possible to gain remote root access using poorly concealed telnet backdoors. Admin usernames and passwords had been left accessible by Be.
Details of the original exploit are here.
Be responded by first accusing Karunaratne of hacking its internal network, and then booting him off the service. It released a firmware update in March which tightened up the access control list for the telnet service ports.
However, it's emerged that whenever the router is reset to factory settings - which Be recommends as part of the procedure for switching from a dynamic to a static IP, for example - the configuration is refreshed with the original access control list, leaving it wide open once again. Customers sometimes restore factory settings when the router crashes too.
Routers sent out since the update don't have the vulnerability. Be says it addresses it in older models by flashing the firmware repeatedly everyday. It sent us this statement:
Access is restricted to specific IP addresses. This is managed through new firmware we released in March 2007. All new members that have joined since then have received Be Boxes with the updated firmware on. For all members that joined prior to that Be runs a script multiple times a day to update members firmware with the relevant patch.
It asked users to get in touch if they're having problems.
New O2 broadband customers, who will be using the Be ADSL2+ network, won't be affected by the constant need to flash the firmware*. ®
*Correction: Several readers wrote to point out our error that they are updating the ACL templates, not flashing the firmware. Apologies for the mistake.
Thanks to Finlay for the heads up.

I think there's also the factor that some guys (I wont say most), wouldnt mind getting dominated by a beautiful strong-minded girl.
Poi is the new Desu!
For harems specifically they also have to explain why they all don't immediately become pornographic.
Having a weak-willed or otherwise inept protagonist is an easy out on that angle.
And they also want a decent spread of opposite-gender personalities to cover all the primary relationship fantasies.
It's almost always just about making individual fantasies accessible to a demographic. Subsequently, I will always almost instantly drop any anime with said character type, because it impliedly concerns itself explicitly with its audience (lots of fan-service is indicative too) rather than the universe at it's core. It pains me to say that to an extent it shares this narrative approach with pornography, where creators are willing to insidiously, irrevocably dissolve the fourth wall to gratify those watching at any given instant.
I think that's why I tend to gravitate towards slice of life anime without male leads, namely Azumanga and Nichijou being among my absolute favourites. There were only a few harem(ish) anime in memory that I've been able to watch through as well, Toradora and the Key Trio come to mind.
Ultimately my main issue though isn't so much the premise of this aversion but how lazily and obviously it's been done.

The male main protagonist, Shinya Kougami, from Psycho Pass is an example of that "strong and masculine" type of main character.
It's interesting when characters like this are portrayed as flawed for what we in the "West" consider to be strengths. Although in Kougami's case it's more reflective of something being wrong with the social structure he's born within.
Although that itself could be a reference to modern Japanese culture - I don't know enough about it to tell.
Lelouch from Code Geass would be another example.
He's charismatic, self-reliant, independent, confident, smart as hell, an excellent leader, and practically evil.
Lelouch was also pretty weak physically and slightly effeminate in mannerisms, so maybe he only half counts. I think it may have something to do with the age of what ever protagonist your thinking about as well. Ginoza, Kogami, Masaoka, and Kagari of Psycho Pass are all fairly masculine but they're also all grown men. So are Spike and Jet from Cowboy Bebop, Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun, and Jean Starwind from Outlaw Star. On the other hand, shows that feature teenagers as the main male leads (Linebarrels is the first one that jumps to my mind) tend to have weaker or less confident main characters. Something about a boy doing a man's job maybe.
I'm gleaming, sparking...dreaming, breathing...

I don't think that's it especially since a lot of the times the weak male character paired with strong female animes tend to also be harems which is just pandering to male fantasies not knocking down gender roles.
It's possible to relate to a character through aspiration as well as "he sucks just as much as a depressed otaku who can't take personal responsibility for himself and needs a strong-willed woman in his life to motivate him."
I think this is probably the most likely reason.
keep in mind that your question can be open for different forms of speculation and correlates to different genres, and we can't exclude the ladies and their preferred male archetypes.

boku no pico
I suppose they do that to make the characters more relatable. No normal person would like into jump life or death situations with no training or no one really helping them and against impossible odds. Its also because Shinji Ikari wasn't particularly strong(for good reasons) and Eva still has its claws in the anime industry, just think of how every show must have a kuudere and a tsundere.
So wait for the day anime has specialised killers as mcs again?
Perhaps '80s anime used all of the supermasculine male characters that have been created and will be created?
I like to review the anime I watch, but the CR review system is broken.
Personally, I'd target two things for the tonal shift in male protagonists, the first would be characterization and development which has been covered (and I had previously not considered) and the second would be the rise of feminism in the 70's.
From the way I understand it feminism came late to Japan (mid to late 80's) after several years of existence it started permeating the culture just enough to create some shifts in industries that were present, like the anime/manga industry. One can see a rather marked shift in female and male protagonists around 3-5 years after the introduction of feminism, at first it was the creation and maintenance of "strong" and better written female characters (not just protagonists) however, after that initial period it started going down hill (early to mid 90's) where more and more of the protagonists were reversed in stereotypical gender roles at least for the first 50% of most series, at which point the roles were stabilized and became more stereotyped.
With the rise of new-age feminism in the late 90's and early 00's there was another shift within the industry, and society in general, specifically, males with the more stereotyped male physique were going out of favor with society, and a noticeable rise in more "feminine" physical traits started to take its place. This is reflected by character designs becoming much thinner and much softer compared to previous works, as well as a great shift towards setting many series in or around a high-school (which is a different but no less prevalent issue) where there are only two primary body types, the first being near indistinguishable from females (except for the lack of breasts) and the 'other' type, which comprises of the stereotypes that still exist like the fat nerd.
Basically, I'd say that new-age (radical) feminism is a large contributing factor to the decline of masculine looking characters... although, many series seem to pair a 'weak' male protagonist and a 'strong' female protagonist, but by around episode 17 out of 26 the roles have been reversed and the female suddenly becomes close to useless... or I'm just reading too much into it and it's just the fact that most anime that comes out today is set in a fucking high-school and ignores the reality of many people in high-schools having varied personalities and body types.
Going along with Coffeebot's post, if you do some research on "herbivore males" in Japan, for the past decade there's been a cultural phenomenon where metrosexual culture has basically become very popular with men in Japan. The macho culture of the 80's and part of the 90's hasn't been carried on by the current generation --- instead, there's largely a population of men who are more interested in personal grooming/appearance/fashion, than they are in being kick-ass awesome manly. A lot of it is a backlash to long-engrained cultural expectations that were strained because of the bubble economy slowly crashing over the course of the 90's --- the expectations used to be that you'd graduate college, get a job, get married and have kids. Unfortunately, with the slow downturn of the economy after the housing bubble burst in the late 80's meant that many men found it difficult to find work immediately after college, which led to a lot of disillusionment with their cultural upbringing and a re-evalutation of what was considered 'normal' for men in the new century. Now herbivore men, who have a very docile and uninterested approach to relationships with women, are reflecting more effeminate attitudes towards their own physical appearance, such as straightening their hair, spending more time focused on their clothing to make sure it's fashionable, etc.
You can really see the stark difference in cultural attitudes just by looking at anime from the 80's up through the present day. Back in the 80's and 90's we had shows oozing with machismo like Golgo 13, Mad Bull 34, MD Geist, Fist of the North Star, City Hunter, Riding Bean, etc. During the 90's we started to see more effeminate male characters show up in Shonen works, like Hiei and Kurama in Yu Yu Hakusho, and a number of characters in Rurouni Kenshin. Then you have a breakout hit like Prince of Tennis at the end of the 90's, which supposedly surprised Shonen Jump, in that they could appeal to both male and female demographics by making a sports series with male protagonists that were handsome by female standards. The most glaring comparison I always see is between Slam Dunk and Kuroko's basketball --- the former used to be the popular perception of manliness back in the early 90's, and the latter is the popular perception of 'manliness' in the modern day.
Modern otaku anime seem to be a strong reflection of the current cultural atmosphere for today's Japanese hardcore otaku. The anime industry is largely supported and financed by the DVD and BluRay sales of hardcore Japanese otaku, and as a result a large portion of non-mainstream anime mostly caters to them. Not only are they a part of the herbivore male trend, but they're esp. not very strong-willed when it comes to relationships and personal agency. Since anime has traditionally largely been escapist fantasy, you find more and more these days that the male protagonists are crafted in a way that Japanese otaku can easily identify with.
Personally, I find the trend un-cool. I hate seeing lithe and wimpy protagonists that look like they spent an hour in front of the mirror in the morning to get their hair 'just right'. That's one of the reasons I'm more a fan of older anime from the 80's and 90's, as I really can't identify with the pretty-boy high school teens that basically define the modern generation of anime.
I blame Shinji Ikari
[No information available]
I see you already said this but my first reaction was you were sticking to the harem genre too much. Try switching to watch more types of anime or switch to older stuff you may not have seen; I personally think alot of anime from the late 80's and 90's is better than current anime anyway- both visually and story wise.
Since I'm not the MC, they can't be all that impressive.
Mad Bull 34
Yargh! My beard grew three inches just reading the title!
Man, I love the '80s.
On topic: That bit about the 'herbivore male' trend and targeting the hardcore otaku niche is spot-on, IMO.
I like to review the anime I watch, but the CR review system is broken.
More than anything, I think it has more to do with the specific types of shows you're really talking about. If you're talking about shows for boys or young men, it makes sense that a teenage male thrown into those types of circumstances would have a little insecurity. Or, if they aren't insecure (see Luffy from One Piece), their wimpy exterior is mostly to keep the character from seeming too powerful. Or its just a way to add comedy to what would otherwise be really serious. Also, most shounen action shows are essentially extended coming-of-age metaphors, so the character has to start that way to have growth (unfortunately, since most of these shows go on forever, the characters rarely get much actual growth).
In harem shows, its a lot more obvious why the characters are like that: as many have said, it allows the audience (many of whom are likely not total womanizers themselves) to relate. Its also keeps people from hating/resenting the main character. See the School Days anime; in the visual novel, most of the endings resolve with him in a monogamous relationship, but, in the anime, he screws pretty much everyone. Yes, it is more believable than harem shows like Girls Bravo or (especially) Sekirei, but, well, nobody likes Makoto from School Days. Or the main character in Yosuga no Sora. Unless fans universally agree on whom the main character should hook up with, they don't actually want him to make a decision. Thus, by necessity, he is generally wimpy, indecisive, and totally lacks confidence.
However, if you look at other genre of anime, you'll find that many series (even modern ones) have strong main male characters. In a lot of shoujo romances, the male lead tends to have many strong, masculine qualities; its just easy to miss on a superficial level since the art style typical of these series tends to render the male characters in a somewhat effeminate manner. In seinen works like Golgo 13, or even Bartender, the male lead is definitely not wimpy or weak-willed. Even in shounen romance series like Full Metal Panic or Chunibyo demo Koi, the male lead might be strong-willed and masculine (at least for a 14-year old boy). The main thing is, its the most popular stuff that is most frequently guilty of this portrayal, so it gives the impression that all anime is like that.
I have almost no free time, and yet I'm here...priorities

I'd be afraid of the mash turning to glue. Even if it tastes good, I can't imagine a 100% oat beer having an enjoyable mouthfeel.
Be aware that Michael Lewis wrote about oats in his book on Stout. His findings were not favorable. He said the flavor was not pleasant at the level they used (I don't recall what the % was).
I'm curious what the O/P was looking for from the oats originally? A particular flavor or other characteristic? Just an experiment to see what would happen? Just wondering what drove the question in the first palce. Thanks,

With Matt moving to the land made famous by William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, and most notably cheese steaks, a farewell ride was in order. The original idea of a trip to Flagstaff was scuttled once a fire broke out, so we decided to stay in our own backyard. So, Matt and I rode up to the top of Mt. Lemmon, loaded with gear and reinforcements would soon gather with steaks and cold beer. The summer time has officially started here in Tucson with triple digit temps, so getting to the high ground was a priority.
Loaded with sleeping bag, air mattress, cookware, lots of food, change of clothes, running shoes and tools. Later during the pedal to the top, I would be overcome by the sheer awesomeness that my setup exuded. I still need to pack less and it's better to get as much gear on the bike as possible. A 30+ pound backpack hurts on a 29 mile climb. Oh, and having gears would probably help, too!
esbit stove did a great job cooking my breakfast!
By the time we reached Prison Camp it was hot as Hades and facing the pedal home, Matt and I called an audible...take the road! The others dropped into Prison Camp while we coasted the next 6 miles to the base. Along the way down a line of cars passed us, but something about this pickup truck was off. As I drafted behind him, I could smell smoke and saw something billow from the bed. It wasn't ash coming from his BBQ but rather smoke. Jokingly, I thought to myself we'll soon see this guy down the road and sure enough we did.
There he was, pulled over with another motorist helping him extinguish the flames. Apparently, he neglected to properly put out his grill fire, wanted to save the partially burnt briquettes, or was just a complete idiot. I think he was a culmination of all of the above. Driving down Lemmon, his grill had shifted, causing his rug and bed to catch on fire. Embers from this rolling grill on wheels could have easily started a fire anywhere along the way, let alone multiple fires! This in the wake of what happened to Schultz Pass in Flagstaff leaves no margin for carelessness. Nice job, jaggoff!

Hi all!
I have a dictionary that I am using for a program and I would like to be able to close the dictionary without closing the form.
I have tried unload, dispose and everything I can think of.
The data is displayed in a listbox and a textbox. I can clear these but, of course, it doesn't release all of the variables. So if I try to reload the file I get a key already exists message.
So, is there any way to close the form data and release all of the key/value pairs?

Panagia Blachernitissa
The Panagia of Blachernitissa (Gr. Παναγία η Βλαχερνίτισσα), also known as Blachernae, Vlachernae, or Vlahernon, is a 7th century Byzantine icon from Constantinople preserved in the imperial palace of Blachernai. The icon, according to tradition, was not written; rather, it was made from a composition of wax and the ashes of 6th-century martyred Christians.[1] Within the Church, there is only one other icon of this type—see the icon of Archangel Michael of Mantamados. The icon of Blachernitissa is currently located in Russia at the Tretyakov Gallery.
Name ambiguity
It is possible that the Blachernitissa and the Blachernae might not be one and the same icon. There are two places with the name "Blachernae." The first location is in Constantinople, and the second is a village in Greece.
- The Church of Panagia of Blachernae, Constantinople
- The best known and most celebrated shrine of the Holy Virgin in Constantinople is the church of Panagia of Blachernae.
- The Shrine of Blachernai
- Blachernai, near the northern tip of the walls of Theodosios, was the site of major shrine of the Virgin Mary in Constantinople built by the Empress Pulcheria (ca. 450). A circular chapel (the Soros), was built by Emperor Leo I (457-474) next to the church to hold the robe of the Virgin Mary, brought from Palestine in 473. The church was burnt down in 1070. It was rebuilt by 1077 by either Romanos IV Diogenes (1067-71) or Michael VII (1071-87) and then destroyed again in 1434. Next to it was a bathhouse where a spring flowed, and which still flows in the modern church on the site.[2]
- From the time of the Patriarch Timotheos [511-18] there was a procession—the "panhgur j"—which took place each Friday from Blachernai to the Church of the Chalkoprateia, near Hagia Sophia, at the other end of the city.[3]
- The Circular Chapel ("Soros")
- The chapel of the Virgin's robe was covered in silver and considered a "reliquary of architectural dimensions." Lay people were not allowed inside but could pray in the main church.[4] There was a specific icon, the Panagia Hagiosoritissa, associated with this shrine.[5]
- Pontikonisi (Corfu, Greece)
- Isle of Dias, village of Kalligata (Kefalonia, Greece)
- Panagia Vlahernon (Corfu, Greece) - 17th century

April 12, 2012 06:32 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - April 12, 2012) - Ontario consumers will pay $285 million more annually for residential electricity and Canada could lose 41,000 full-time-equivalent jobs over a 20-year period due to Ontario's subsidization of renewable energy, concludes a new study from the Fraser Institute, Canada's leading public policy think-tank.
The calculations for the residential sector are based on a Statistics Canada analysis using its Interprovincial Input-Output Model, commissioned by the Fraser Institute.
When business and industrial electrical customers are included, the total additional costs for Ontario electricity users could hit $18 billion over 20 years.
"The Ontario government has embraced wind, solar power, and other renewable energy sources without regard to the cost to consumers, which is already having widespread negative economic impacts," said Gerry Angevine, Fraser Institute senior economist and co-author of A Sensible Strategy for Renewable Electrical Energy.
"If other governments choose to emulate Ontario's energy policies, they too will see higher electricity prices for homeowners and businesses, a need to build costly new electric transmission infrastructure, and the likelihood of job losses in the manufacturing sector as companies relocate in search of lower-cost electricity."
Caught up in the climate change debate and in an attempt to reduce its reliance on coal-generated electricity, the Ontario government in 2009 established a generous subsidy program via its feed-in-tariff program (FIT) to encourage the use of wind, solar, and biomass to generate electricity.
But recent reports from both the International Energy Agency and the U.S. Energy Administration Agency found that the cost of electricity produced by renewable energy technologies is generally higher than in the case of conventional fossil fuel combustion technologies or nuclear power.
But despite these warnings and the problems experienced by Ontario, many other provincial and U.S. state governments are poised to follow Ontario's path of subsidizing energy technologies-chiefly wind, solar, and biomass units-to compete with conventional, cost-effective electrical power.
"Over the next decade, at least 80 per cent of the net increase in North America's electric generation is scheduled to come from renewable energy technologies," Angevine said.
"It simply costs more to generate electricity using wind or solar power. Consequently, consumers and businesses can all expect to pay significantly more for electricity in the coming years. Instead of mandating specific types of renewable power, governments should follow a market-based approach to determine the best mix of electricity-generating technologies."
A Sensible Strategy for Renewable Electrical Energy analyzes the economics of technologies used to generate electricity, associated technical issues, and, using Ontario's feed-in-tariff program as a case study, some of the broader effects that renewable energy policies might have on the North American economy.
The study cautions that the Statistics Canada Input-Output model may overestimate the employment impacts from higher electricity prices in the residential sector when, as in the Ontario case, the adjustment period is long. However, the higher electricity prices resulting from FIT program subsidies will also have undesirable consequences for employment in the commercial and industrial sectors.
The study also reviews barriers that stand in the way of the sound, sustainable development of renewable energy as a significant source of electric power in North America and makes recommendations for economically efficient energy policies.
It notes that as of March 2012, three Canadian provinces-Ontario, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia-had explicit policies requiring electric-power utilities to use renewable energy sources for generating a certain share of their overall electricity supply. In addition, 29 U.S. states plus Washington, D.C. have enacted renewable portfolio standards.
To help to ensure that electricity consumers benefit from competitive prices that foster competition, innovation, economic growth, and prosperity, the report recommends that governments:
"Federal and many provincial and state governments have been preoccupied with providing direct subsidies and tax breaks for investment in renewable energy and ensuring their connection to transmission systems without regard for the combined cost of generation and transmission which, ultimately, must be borne by electricity consumers," Angevine said.
"A market-based approach is required to determine the most efficient mix of technologies for electric generation and to reduce consumer costs."
A Sensible Strategy for Renewable Electrical Energy is the fourth installment in a series of Fraser Institute reports on developing a continental energy strategy for North America.

So they do eat vegetables and nuts .
I just need to find out how to say it in Slavonic!
The fish species is more usually found in warmer climes, and has a reputation as something of a ball breaker among male swimmers, an expert confirmed for The Local."The pacu is not normally dangerous to people but it has quite a serious bite, there have been incidents in other countries, such as Papua New Guinea where some men have had their testicles bitten off," said Henrik Carl, fish expert at the Danish museum.
... Lord have mercy.
There is a whole episode of River Monsters about nut-eating Pacu.
The Local, Sweden's English language newspaper, tells us that Swedes have been warned off swimming in the nude following the discovery of Pacu fish in Swedish waters. This usually vegetable and nut eating fish and relative of the Piranha has been known to attack and eat 'testicles'. In some cases leading to the death of fishermen in other parts of the world.One more reason to always dress modestly, even when swimming.

Poor Swedish Pacu fishes, looking for non-existant food.
Research shows that the "flavor of [farmed] pacu is comparable to that of hybrid striped bass, tilapia, and rainbow trout, but superior to catfish." In South America, pacu are prized for their sweet, mild flavor.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacu
I think you can say ~ In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and post with charitable and prayerful intentions.

If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.

Statement: BISD to appeal ruling that ousts three board members
Three incumbents on the Beaumont ISD school board who thought they did not have to file for the May 11 election suddenly find themselves out of the running and will be off the board, according to a Monday ruling from the Ninth Court of Appeals.
The ruling means trustees Woodrow Reece, Zenobia Bush and Terry Williams will be out even though they still had two years apiece remaining on their terms.
What happened is that because of board-ordered redistricting, the trustees were required to announce re-election or invoke what the state election code calls the "savings" clause to retain their seats.
Reece, Bush and Williams did not file for re-election and did not invoke the clause, said Mike Getz, attorney for Linda Gilmore, who will replace District 3 trustee Reece; Donna Forgas, who will replace District 1 trustee Williams; and Marcelino Rodriguez, who will replace District 2 trustee Bush.
"The decision means they will be on the ballot, uncontested," Getz said.
The school district's attorney, Melody Chappell, was not available for comment as of press time, but a news release was sent from the district saying that Chappel would appeal the ruling.
"Melody Chappell, attorney for the Beaumont Independent School District, expects the district's Board of Trustees to appeal today's ruling by the Ninth Judicial District Court of Appeals," the release states. "In response to the court's ruling that would allow Marcelino Rodriguez, Donna Jean Forgas and Linda Marie Wiltz Gilmore to be placed unopposed on the May 11 BISD trustee election ballot, this Thursday's Board of Trustees agenda has listed for consideration an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court about the ruling."
District 5 trustee Mike Neil, who otherwise would have been in the same situation as the other three incumbents had he not filed for re-election, is unopposed.
Neil said he filed because he knew there would be a case brought forward for the rejected applications.
"I think it is a great ruling," Neil said. "It is going to usher in changes."
Getz said the Ninth Court's decision is based on the Feb. 21 school board-approved map that reflects the census-required redistricting.
The issue that Getz brought to the court is based on the school election code that requires trustees to file for election or invoke the "savings" clause after each redistricting.
Because Reece, Bush and Williams failed to do so, they will not be on the ballot, Getz said.
Bush declined comment. Reece did not return several telephone calls and Williams, who was contacted, did not call back.

Committee Opinion Number 478, March 2011
(Reaffirmed 2018)
ABSTRACT: Family history plays a critical role in assessing the risk of inherited medical conditions and single gene disorders. Several methods have been established to obtain family medical histories, including the family history questionnaire or checklist and the pedigree. The screening tool selected should be tailored to the practice setting and patient population. It is recommended that all women receive a family history evaluation as a screening tool for inherited risk. Family history information should be reviewed and updated regularly, especially when there are significant changes to f...
Committee Opinion Number 278, November 2002
Reaffirmed 2017
ABSTRACT: Clinically significant false-positive human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test results are rare. However, some individuals have circulating factors in their serum (eg, heterophilic antibodies or nonactive forms of hCG) that interact with the hCG antibody and cause unusual or unexpected test results. False-positive and false-negative test results can occur with any specimen, and caution should be exercised when clinical findings and laboratory results are discordant. Methods to rule out the presence of interfering substances include using a urine test, rerunning the assay with serial ...

No - Christ Invocation
LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — Despite complaints, the name of Jesus was mentioned in the invocation for Thursday's city council meeting in Longview, Wash., and the prayer drew a hearty "amen" from people who told the council they have a legal right to a Christian invocation.
Longview Mayor Don Jensen told the audience that until the council takes formal action to remove the invocation from meeting agendas, the prayer stays.
Jensen told The Daily News that the council expects to discuss the policy at a workshop.
Complaints prompted the mayor last month to ask the Kelso-Longview Ministerial Association to stop invoking Christ in invocations because it could expose the city to a lawsuit. Association members no longer provide invocations. A councilman invited Baptist Pastor Larry Pedigo to deliver Thursday's prayer.
