Through this service, you will be able to leave a longer message of support to the family via a card with the picture of your selection that will be included with your thoughtful gesture. As well as a photo of your arrangement and message will remain in perpetuity within this memorial website. This service also includes "Smart Select" whereby the store notifies you if your floral selection has already been selected by another sender, allowing you the opportunity to choose a different arrangement if you wish.
The price of these selections also include the funeral home caring for the flowers after the funeral and delivering them to the family, or various care facilities where they can be rearranged and enjoyed by others for a longer period.
When you choose to have a memorial tree planted for your loved one, you are doing more than simply putting a plant in the ground. You are making a long-term commitment to the environment and implanting the memories of your loved one in our planet for countless years to come. A memorial tree is a unique tribute which provides global benefits like no other memorial gift could.
Each tree is planted through the efforts of Forestry Services throughout North America who determine where the greatest needs for reforestation are. Once planted, the geographical location where the tree is planted will be added to the record. A beautiful card is also sent to the family signifying your thoughtful gesture.
The solitude and quiet peace of a flickering candle has long been a symbol of remembrance. Each candle lit will remain lit within this memorial website for the period you select. Your thoughtful gesture will be captured both in the candle as well as listed in perpetuity within the tributes section.
We are proud to provide this service allowing friends and family to donate to any registered charity throughout North America. You will receive an official tax receipt immediately via email and your thoughtful gesture will remain on this memorial website in perpetuity.

While it's wonderful so many people visit and enjoy our national parks on an annual basis, tourism places a lot of stress on the natural environment. In some cases, the strain has almost been too much. Here are the top 10 endangered parks in America:
1. Alaska's National Parks – Private interest groups are currently looking to open the parks to commercial development and recreational snow-mobiling, both of which will destroy the park's fragile ecosystem.
2. Big Bend National Park – The oldest and largest national park in Texas, its lack of water and fresh air is endangering the park's resources.
3. Fire Island National Seashore – A beach "re-sanding" project threatens the wildlife and integrity of the national seashore.
4. Frederick Douglass National Historic Site – Dry rot, mold and water damage threaten the integrity of this historic site.
5. Glacier National Park – The hotels of this park, located in Montana, have begun to deteriorate. Plus, the commercial development and the coalmines threaten its international borders.
6. Great Smoky Mountains National Park – Air pollution envelops the park, limiting its views while at the same time harming wildlife and plant life.
7. Petrified Forest National Park – A park dedicated to preserving fossils and Indian ruins, its archeological sites located just outside the boundary of the park cannot be protected. As a result, new developments in the area threaten to destroy the sites.
8. Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve – All three protect the South Florida Everglades and are threatened by lower water levels and pollution.
9. Stones River National Battlefield – This historic Civil War battlefield and cemetery in Tennessee faces destruction with a planned interstate highway interchange and commercial development.
10. Yellowstone National Park – Believe it or not, the Montana government threatens the wildlife inhabiting the park.

Skip to comments.Imam gloats over Holocaust, hopes for another one
Posted on 01/27/2009 11:07:43 AM PST by Alouette
click here to read article
In Chanson de Roland and elsewhere during the Middle Ages, Christians generally spoke of Mohammed as Mahound, and considered him to be a demon, indeed.
I just googled it out of curiosity, and sure enough, Wikipedia has a short and very gingerly article on it.
To Mark 'Holocaust Holiday,' Egyptian Cleric Amin Al-Ansari Revises History, And Comments On Footage of Prisoners Being Tortured in Dachau, Mauthausen, and Belsen, Saying: 'This Is What We Hope Will Happen But, Allah Willing, at the Hand of the Muslims'
On January 26, 2009, the day before International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Sunni Islamist Egyptian channel Al-Rahma [Mercy] TV aired a show featuring Egyptian cleric Amin Al-Ansari.(1) Starting off by examining "the civil strife the Jews have caused throughout the world," Al-Ansari explained that because of the Jews' deeds during and after World War I, "it got to the point that the rulers themselves had no solution but to annihilate them."
Al-Ansari showed viewers how "the holocausts of the Jews in Germany were because of their own deeds they were killing Germans, kindling civil strife, inciting the people against their rulers, and corrupting the peoples," underlining his points with World War II footage of the bombing of Berlin, which he compared to present-day Gaza.
Then, saying, "Lets watch what Germany did to Israel or rather, to the Jews," he screened footage of torture and killing of Jews in Dachau, Mauthausen, and Belsen, providing running commentary, and stating, "This is what we hope will happen, but, Allah willing, at the hand of the Muslims."
He adds that the Jews "have even turned [the Holocaust] it into a holiday, which will be marked in a few days. They call it the Holocaust Holiday, in which they rekindle what happened to them, for the whole world to see, so that people will feel sorry for them... so that they can continue to extort people politically and financially forever. They like money."
Warning: The show contains extremely disturbing Holocaust footage.

"Let Us Examine the Civil Strife the Jews Have Caused Throughout The World"
Amin Al-Ansari: "Let us examine the civil strife the Jews have caused throughout the world. Of course, we know what problems they caused the Muslims. They have always been like that, but in modern times, they only turned to the Muslims [relatively] late. They went around the world to the East and West because they love money, and the West was full of money in England, France, Germany, and of course, in America, which was still a new country. This was 200 years ago. They focused on these places, and this is why they have spread in America and control the money. They immigrate to any place where there was money.
"The Jews spread corruption in the land during World Wars I and II. Let me tell you a very short story, so that you understand their way of thinking. The Jews do not know how to climb from the bottom up. They do not want to meet poor people, and then climb up, in order to reach the rulers of any country. Instead, they go straight to the rulers."
"Herzl... Invent[ed] Explosives, Bombs, and Missiles Annihilation Underlies Their Ideology"
"In the 19th century, there was a man called Herzl, who was a scientist and had nothing to do with politics. What did this Theodor Herzl do? He used explosives to invent a weapon. He could have invented anything else something that would benefit the world but no, he had to invent explosives, bombs, and missiles. Annihilation underlies their ideology. This Theodor Herzl looked for the most powerful country in the world back then. It was England, which was occupying India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Egypt, and so on. So he became close to the British prime minister, and said to him: Ive invented something that could benefit you in your colonialist wars."
"The Jews... Waged World War I... They Spread Corruption... It Got To the Point That the Rulers Themselves Had No Solution But to Annihilate Them"
"Balfour promised them a state for the Jews in the land of Palestine. So the Jews began channeling all their loyalty and support to England. They began traveling all over the world in support of England. What did they do? They waged World War I, and tried to crush all the forces that were fighting England, such as Germany and other countries. They spread corruption in the land in Czechoslovakia, in Germany, and in the republics of the USSR.
"The corruption spread by the Jews was very great. Very great. It got to the point that the rulers themselves had no solution but to annihilate them. This was said even by the rulers of America themselves. You see that America supports Israel, but this is partly because it hates and fears Israel, since the [Jews] are corruptors. Most of the U.S. rulers said to the American people: Wed better give them a place of their own, and keep them and their evil at bay from our European countries. They wanted to places them in a country of their own, far from anything to do with the European peoples."
"The Holocausts of the Jews In Germany Were Because Of Their Own Deeds They Were Killing Germans, Kindling Civil Strife, Inciting the People Against Their Rulers, and Corrupting the Peoples"
"In a nutshell, the holocausts of the Jews in Germany were because of their own deeds. They were killing Germans, kindling civil strife, inciting the people against their rulers, and corrupting the peoples. 'Every time they kindle the fire of war, Allah extinguishes it.'
"Let me show you what corruption they caused, and what damage they inflicted upon all the countries of the world upon peoples and governments alike. Lets watch the holocaust that the Jews underwent, which were Allahs way of wreaking vengeance upon them. Lets watch what the German people, or the German army, did to them. This is, of course, a part of the corruption of Germany by the Jews."
"Observe the Great Similarity Between Gaza and the German Streets Back Then"
Footage of the German army and the bombing of Berlin during World War II, with Al-Ansari's running commentary:
"This is the Germany army. It is clear. These are children in the German army. Consecutive wars, which lasted many years, annihilated the people, so the Germans began using children as soldiers.
"Look, this is Berlin. The German cities were bombed from all directions, because of the Jews, who were destroying countries... Observe the great similarity between Gaza and the German streets back then, even though Germany is a very large country.
"These people like to spread corruption, and when they cant, they look for those who can, and encourage them to do it. Back in those days, it was England that they encouraged to spread corruption. This is Germany, and this is the destruction it suffered in 1945."
"These Are the Armies That Israel Encouraged to Corrupt and Destroy the German Army and Country... This Is What The Jews Did"
"Observe these cities, and think about what exactly is happening. These are the armies that Israel encouraged to corrupt and destroy the German army and country. See the rubble and the dead people on the ground. The world was dying country and civilization was being annihilated."
End of footage
"This is what the Jews did."
"When [The Germans] Realized That The Jews Were Behind All This, They Took Revenge On Them They Were Not Weak, As The Muslims Are Today; They Had Something Different In Mind. Lets Watch What Germany Did to Israel Or Rather, to the Jews"
"The Germans were, of course, strong. When they realized that the Jews were behind all this, they took revenge on them. They were not weak, as the Muslims are today. They had something different in mind.
"Lets watch what Germany did to Israel or rather, to the Jews so we can understand that there is no remedy for these people, other than imposing fear and terror on them.
"There is one language that the Jews understand the language of force. If you are stronger than them, they are afraid of you. That is why Allah said: "They fear you in their hearts more than Allah." Allah said: "Prepare for them whatever force and steeds of war you can, to strike terror in the hearts of Allahs enemies and your enemies." The Jews is afraid of you more than he is afraid of God. When the Germans revealed the treachery and the war of the Jews against them, and the fact that they were spreading corruption in their country let us watch how oppressors are killed by the people they oppressed."
Title: "Dachau Concentration Camp:" Footage of railroad tracks, a Zyklon B gas canister, showers, a German soldier opening the door of a crematorium to show skeletons, and piles of emaciated bodies. Al-Ansari in running commentary:
"What we have here are German graves, but lets watch what the Germans do to the Jews. These are corpses of dead humans and the shattered bones of Jews. Here we have a crematorium, in which the Jews were burnt."
Footage of concentration camp inmates; title: Mauthausen Concentration Camp." Footage of inmates. Al-Ansari continues his commentary as horrific camp scenes unfold:
"These are Jews who are being prepared to be burnt. Look, these are Jews dying of hunger or by gas. Look how they round them up and put them on trucks. Note the humiliation on his face, Allah be praised. 'Abasement and humiliation were brought down upon them, and they became deserving of Allahs wrath.'
"Look what starvation [the Germans] inflicted upon them. Look what humiliation. These are people being buried alive. Does this look like a human being? He is placed in a ditch to be buried alive. This is a pile of bodies. Ibn Masoud was right... "
"These Are [Jewish] Corpses, Allah Be Praised... These Are The Bodies of the Jews Being Loaded Like Animals... This Is What We Hope Will Happen, But, Allah Willing, At the Hand of The Muslims"
Footage of torture of concentration camp prisoners. Al-Ansari continues commentary, describing the onscreen action:
"Look, this is a barbed wire, used to crush their bodies. He and five others will be hanged with a single chain. Concentrate on this, my brothers. Watch this. Look, they are tying five heads together.
"These are bodies. Here they are drilling a hole in his back with a nail. This child awaits his turn. Watch their humiliation. These are corpses, Allah be praised.
"The [Jews] are oppressors. They are being deported. Ibn Masoud was right [title: " Belsen Concentration Camp," footaage of piles of corpses] when he said: 'All the oppressors are killed by those they oppress.' [Closeups of bodies] These are bodies, these are dead people, these are skulls. These are the bodies of the Jews being loaded like animals. Watch this tractor clearing away the corpses of the Jews, and these are the refugees awaiting their turn to be killed. A German soldier will come now, and you will see a Jewish woman kissing his hand. Notice what humiliation, fear, and terror have struck her. See how much she is kissing his hand. Watch her humiliation. This is what we hope will happen, but, Allah willing, at the hand of the Muslims."
"These Are the Images That the Jews Are Now Exploiting in Order to Make People Feel Sorry For Them... So That They can Continue to Extort... Forever They Like Money"
Footage continues. Soldiers look at a pile of bodies.
"These are the bodies of the Jews. These are oppressors. Not so long before, they were fighting these soldiers, who are now standing and looking at their corpses.
"Watch, my brothers. This is the German army. These are the tractors clearing away the bodies of the Jews, in order to put them in collective pits. These are the images that the Jews are now exploiting in order to make people feel sorry for them." End of footage.
"These holocausts and all that are a thing of the past. But they are renewing it again and again, and have even turned it into a holiday, which will be marked in a few days. They call it the Holocaust Holiday, in which they rekindle what happened to them, for the whole world to see, so that people will feel sorry for them.
"They got the whole world on its feet over these holocausts, so that they can continue to extort people politically and financially forever. They like money."
Jewish Father Teaches Son to "Take Everything They Give"
"Theres a story I heard about the Jews. One Jew took his son... This father kept looking for new supermarkets that were being opened, because they have freebies gifts and stuff. Whenever a new supermarket opened, he would take his son to get the freebies. He said to his son: Whatever you find for free take it. Never mind what it is take it and put it in your pocket.
"They got to a grocery store. The man welcomed them and showed them the merchandise. He showed the child the pistachio nuts, and said: Take some. The child said: No. The man asked him why, and the child said: My dad told me not to take anything from anyone. He was lying.
"The father was standing next to him, very angry. He was going crazy. Even the father told him to take some, but the child refused, and said: 'Only if he hands them to me, I will take them.' The man said: Fine. He took a handful of pistachios, and the child stuffed them into his pockets. After they left, the father asked the son: 'What was that all about? I told you not to take?! I told you to take everything they give.'
"The child said: 'Dad, let me explain. I have small hands, and I can only take a little bit. But I let him give it to me with his large hands, and look how much I got.' The father said: 'If you werent so cunning, I would have thought you might not be really Jewish.'"
(1) The Sunni Islamist Egyptian channel Al-Rahma TV was launched in 2007, and according to reports it is owned by Sheikh Muhammad Hassan, an Egyptian sheikh who studied in Saudi Arabia. Sheikh Hassan has some shows on Rahma TV, and the channel also broadcasts sermons by him. Numerous lectures and shows by Amin Al-Ansari (b. 1968) are posted online; see also MEMRI TV Clip No. 1965, "Egyptian Clerics Intensify Antisemitic Rants against the Backdrop of the Gaza Fighting," December 30, 2008, http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/1965.htm
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
I can't watch it either... too much insane hate ... these guys are crazy or evil or both...
Or perhaps he could send an emissary. Pat Buchanan could relate to the guy.
What are they talking about? I thought the Holocaust was just another Zionist illusion. /s
I disagree. They're capable of maintaining two contradicting ideas simultaneously, i.e. the Holocaust never happened, but they wish it went farther.
Now imagine 1.2 billion people whose views of morality are this upside-down. Everything evil to them is good, everything good is evil.

Updated 2017-18 Undergraduate and Graduate Catalog
- Philosophy minor
Phone: (218) 755-2880
Fax: (218) 755-2822
Philosophy is a systematic attempt to understand and to resolve some of the most profound, far-reaching, and fundamentally important problems of human experience, such as the existence of God, the meaning of life, the problem of free will, and the nature of consciousness, truth, self, knowledge, beauty, justice, time, duty, death, and virtue. Some of its main branches are epistemology (the study of the nature and foundations of knowledge), metaphysics (the search for the ultimately real, the attempt to discern the most fundamental kinds of things which constitute self and world), logic (the study of the principles used in distinguishing between correct and incorrect reasoning), ethics (the study of moral concepts, and the moral evaluation of conduct and character), and aesthetics (the study of art, beauty, and aesthetic judgment).
The study of philosophy also includes a careful and critical examination of the basic assumptions, the central concepts, the value assertions, and the conclusions of all other disciplines. Such an examination forms the basis of such philosophic areas as the philosophy of religion, political philosophy, the philosophy of art, and the philosophy of science.
A study of philosophy not only enhances our intellectual understanding of the world and enables us to make larger sense out of our experience, but also brings about in us an awareness of the numerous ways in which views and assumptions of a philosophical sort are intimately involved in everyday living. In addition to broadening our perspectives and heightening our sensitivities, it encourages the development of a number of higher intellectual functions. It helps us to discern relationships and organize inferences, to think with clarity and explicate with precision, to critically analyze and think independently, and to probe, question, and explore.
The study of philosophy is appropriate for any career or profession that requires critical thinking and communication skills.

'Protect Our Jobs' Draws National Scrutiny
The Wall Street Journal says Michigan is the new battlefield in organized labor's national campaign to preserve political power.
In a Labor Day editorial, The Journal discusses the so-called "Protect Our Jobs" amendment that would enshrine collective bargaining in the Michigan Constitution. The editorial reflects the work of Mackinac Center analysts, noting the effect of the proposal: "The amendment would reduce the ability of Michigan lawmakers to change labor laws and end-run efforts to give workers a choice about whether to join a union."
Stay Engaged
The Journal also notes that organized labor hopes to invalidate and ban other meaningful reforms with passage of the amendment.
This editorial confirms what Mackinac Center experts have been saying for months: POJA is part of a national effort by organized labor to reverse a long decline in union membership. Union officials realize that if they cannot recruit members by offering a desired service, union power can only be preserved by enshrining a monopoly in the law.

What about the Web?
Posted on 20. Jul, 2011 by lyle in
Comment from E-mail
As the person who brought computers into the homes of common folks everywhere, what are your thoughts on the web and all its attendent joys and problems?
I think that the web is more user friendly than software is. I hate SPAM. I don't think that companies take responsibility for their software or hardware. Customer support matches voice mail menu systems for helpfulness these days. Someday that should all change to favor the customers first.

When a motor drive goes down, how do you resolve the problem quickly?
When a variable frequency drive (VFD) goes down, you're under pressure to get it back online fast. Don't let this pressure make you take even longer to resolve the problem. Instead, remember the following basic checkpoints about troubleshooting VFDs.
Check the controller display. Most VFD controllers include an interface to set up the drive for operation, and display information about its operation. Although the information varies, most controllers tell you about high current, high and low voltages on the input and output sides, high temperatures, internal faults, and even some advanced power diagnostics.
Check the connections. If the fault codes can't help you track down the problem, check the connections. Surprisingly, loose connections are among the most common causes of faulty operation in VFD applications. Just eyeballing a connection is sometimes enough to know it's loose. But, you can also check for a voltage drop across a connection if you're still powered up; or resistance through a connection if you're powered down. Don't forget to isolate the connection to ensure a reliable reading.
Check temperatures. Checking the temperature of connections with a temperature probe or IR-thermometer is one way to tell if they're loose. They should never be hotter than the connecting wires. You can check temperatures in the drive and at the motor. For example, if a controller's heat sink overheats because of infrequent cleaning, it can shut down the drive. Or, if the motor insulation is unsuitable for VFDs, it'll gradually degrade until it develops a short. Such shorts are often too small to blow a fuse, and too intermittent to trip an overload. However, they're enough to shut down a controller. An IR thermometer can show what is going on. Also, use your nose: If a motor smells hot, it is.
Sure, you can do more (see sidebar, below). But usually, just checking the basics will be enough to uncover the problem and get the system running again. And that can give you the time you need to schedule a permanent fix.
Sidebar: A Closer Check
In new motor installations, problems with drive performance are often due to improper application, selection, setup, or installation. Sometimes what seems like drive problems are due to process control logic -- not the drive at all. In the case of frequent breaker trips, you may need to examine protection coordination to ensure your breakers are the right size from the drive all the way back to the service -- and possibly other branch and feeder circuits. Before you do that, however, see if your drive can reduce inrush current with a "soft start" function. You also want to check: current to the motor (ammeter); voltage notching (oscilloscope); inductive noise in signal, control, or power wiring (oscilloscope); cable routing (visual inspection); damaged signal, control, or power wiring (insulation resistance, TDR); and current through the controller during sudden load changes or speed ramps (controller display).

America's national wildlife refuges represent the enduring conservation values of all Americans. When Teddy Roosevelt set aside tiny Pelican Island in Florida as the nation's first national wildlife refuge, he recognized that our wildlife heritage represented something far more valuable than simply sourcing bird feathers for the latest fashion trends.
Today, there are many federal policy and budget proposals under consideration in Congress that could severely harm our nation's National Wildlife Refuge System.
In late July, the House passed legislation to build a road through congressionally designated wilderness in Izembek NWR in Alaska. If enacted into law, this would set a dangerous precedent for all national wildlife refuges and wilderness areas throughout the country. The House released its FY18 budget, which included instructions for the Natural Resources Committee to produce an additional $5 billion to offset budget cuts. We expect lawmakers to use this opportunity to try and open the Arctic Refuge to oil drilling, citing the potential to generate an additional $1.8 billion within the next 10 years. Santa Ana NWR, located in South Texas, may become ground zero for the construction of President Trump's new border wall as the Department of Homeland Security seeks additional funding from Congress. We at the Refuge Association are monitoring these actions and are working closely with congressional leaders and partners to stop these proposals.
Clearly we need to support our refuges because of their incredible natural resource values, and it is imperative that our nation protects its investment in our national wildlife refuges. The impressive economic value of refuges is undeniable. Forty-eight million people visit national wildlife refuges every year generating $2.4 billion to local economies. More than 35,000 people are employed as a direct result of having a refuge nearby, resulting in almost $800 million in employment income.

provide a 20 percent boost to the National Wildlife Refuge System workforce – the equivalent of 600+ full time employees and valued at $32 million per year.
Many refuge Friends call the experience the most meaningful in their lives. Their volunteer experience has not only deepened a commitment to the natural world, but also strengthened ties to their community. They will tell you that refuges are indispensible to wildlife and to our citizens.
Refuges always need new friends and supporters, now perhaps more than ever. We're thankful for your continued support, and encourage you to get outside and experience your National Wildlife Refuge System.

As the summer comes to a close at the end of this month, many of our summer volunteer interns are finishing up their internships on national wildlife refuges across the country. They've participated in a wide variety of activities on national wildlife refuges, from hosting education programs to working with endangered species. Our volunteer internship program, in partnership with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has proven to be an incredible experience for emerging wildlife and conservation professionals.

The Refuge Association also welcomed a summer Conservation Policy intern in the Association's Washington, D.C. office. Through a program at Duke University funded by the generosity of Fred and Alice Stanback, Elliott Davis attended hearings, met with members of Congress and assisted our work on critical refuge policy issues.

On a Saturday afternoon at the fellowship hall, the stereo blares Southern rock anthems for a flock of Harley riders in leather vests.
Banners on the wall honor veterans, and flags commemorate the Confederacy. A disco ball hovers over a clawfoot tub full of canned beers — two bucks buys you a token and a token gets you a drink from Charlie the bartender.
In one corner of the room, the "Pope" strides across a stage, his voice full of fervor as he auctions off items to the highest bidder. A motorcyclist died recently in a crash and there is money to be raised for the man's family.
At the fellowship hall, called "Pope's House," next to the Heart of Fire Church in southeast Louisville, the motto is "when you are here, you are family."
And today, Danny Ray Johnson, 57, the self-proclaimed pope, bishop and minister to outcasts, really wants you to bid on this gift card to a local tattoo shop.
"I need somebody right now that'll give me $50 on a $150 tattoo," he says. "Who will give me $50?"
The Pope, as everyone knows him, commands this side of the room, his voice tinged with the Louisiana drawl of his youth. His biceps are decorated in ink, his sideburns white, his golden pompadour thinning.
Long ago, Johnson fashioned an identity as a modern-day American patriot. Pro-gun, pro-God, pro-life. He talked in 2013 about making America great again. He lamented the lack of God in everyone's lives. He wept over the country's future.
But behind this persona — cultivated, built up and fine-tuned over decades — is a web of lies and deception. A mysterious fire. Attempted arson and false testimony. Alleged molestation in his church.
In Johnson's wake lies a trail of police records and court files, shattered lives and a flagrant disregard for truth.
This seven-month investigation is based on more than 100 interviews and several thousand pages of public documents. It also included numerous attempts to interview Johnson, who refused all requests.
Over and over, there were warning signs for government officials, law enforcement, political leaders and others. Yet, virtually nothing was done. For years, Johnson broke laws. Now, he helps make them.
In his latest feat, Johnson catapulted himself into the Kentucky Capitol in 2016 as representative for the
MANGO Embroidered message tshirt Free Shipping Limited Edition Buy Cheap Collections jiLJWXuTl
To hear him tell it, Johnson has been on stage nearly his whole life. Like Forrest Gump, he just so happens to be in the front row, playing a pivotal role in America's biggest moments. Time after time. Decade after decade.
He claims he served as White House chaplain to three presidents. A United Nations ambassador. He says he set up the morgue after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and was thepastor who gave last rites for all of those pulled from the towers.
That fact means that folks will not only need to tolerate the need to share rides, if they want to preserve commerce, but learn to avoid places where people concentrate too much and share events too much. Not only avoid those places but avoid ROUTES THROUGH THEM. This situation calls to question our ability to make people share as easily as we think, to make them prefer urbanist ideals of places, and even to remove parking as much as we think since fleets will want to be able to stack reserves everywhere. Yes, one can algorithmically predict demand and chain trips, but unless the world has parking lots full of reserves everywhere for point to point, you will be hankering for a predictable ride you might only find in a bus. Or in a bike you can turn.
This is a good explanation of why busses are necessary in high density areas, but it kind of misses Musk's point.
As you surely know, in the vast majority of the US, busses are infrequent, sparse, and nowhere near full. In all but a few cities, bus trips account for a negligible fraction of passenger miles travelled. The summon-button-enabled, straight-to-destination bus stops Musk is describing are not, I think, imagined to replace heavily used stops in places like San Francisco or downtown Denver. They are imagined to *add* a bus-like service in somewhere like metro Milwaukee, which currently has no fixed-route transit to speak of, and given entrenched settlement patterns, is not about to.
The geometry problem you describe applies in places that *already have* transit. For the vast majority of Americans, however, whose communities look more like Overland Park, KS than Queens, NY, the geometry problem is that fixed-route, larger busses will never be a practical way to get around.
If Musk was saying "Soon we'll abolish the MTA and the T and BART!" I'd call him a fool. But I read him as saying "Maybe people will come to use something like transit in Overland Park." I find that both interesting and compelling, so I don't find this article that helpful.
Does the author of this text understand English? I'm in doubt to be honest, because he simply made up his wall of text out of one phrase. Shame on you.
This article forgets that Elon's fleet will not be replacing today's buses. It will be replacing the cars with single occupant. A Tesla would pick me up and drop me off at my destination then it would pick up the next passenger and drop them off at the their destination. Geometry problem solved. That is one car on the road for what would have been two cars and only one car that needs to be parked therefore parking lots and parking spaces on roads would disappear thus more space for lanes on streets. GEOMETRY SOLVED! It's not rocket science or maybe it is because only Elon Musk is understanding this solution and everybody else does not have his vision because if they did then they would have started SpaceX and Tesla.

SAN MATEO COUNTY — Sheriff's investigators are poring over old missing persons cases after it was determined that human remains found in remote and rugged terrain last week are those of a man, 54 to 64 years old, who died about three years ago.
An examination by a forensic anthropologist also concluded that the bones are those of a Caucasian, and his clothing indicated a large individual — pants had a 54-inch waist size and 30-inch inseam, and blue, white and silver Nike Air Max Moto running shoes were size 12.
The remains were found Feb. 18 by a hiker in an off-trail area of the Purisima Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve. He initially found a human skull on the ground about 100 feet from the trail, which runs approximately two miles west of Skyline Boulevard and six miles south of Highway 92. More bones and the clothing turned up about 15 to 20 yards away.
A sheriff's spokeswoman said it did not appear that the person had been buried, and the remains were on a very steep hillside covered in fallen tree branches and leaves.
Detectives are asking for the public's help in identifying the man. Anyone with information about a missing person who matches the description is asked to call 650-363-4363.

Company Continues Normal Operations International Operations Not Included in Filing
Exide Receives Commitment for $415 Million in New Financing Arranged by Citibank N.A.
Exide Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: EXDT) today announced that it and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Company said that it elected to file for reorganization because it offered the most efficient way to restructure its balance sheet and access new working capital while continuing to operate in the ordinary course of business.
The Company's operations outside of the U.S. are not included in the filing and will not be adversely affected.
"Over the past several months, we have made a number of difficult yet necessary operational changes that have exhibited positive results. We are now taking the next step to resolve our financial challenges and focus on addressing our balance sheet issues," said Craig Muhlhauser, president and chief executive officer.
Exide said that its heavy debt burden, caused largely by a debt-financed global acquisition strategy and the costs of integrating these acquisitions, combined with the current economic conditions has made it necessary for the Company to file for reorganization to address its financial leverage and debt burden.
The Company said that it has arranged for $415 million in new financing, including $250 million in debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing provided by Citicorp USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Citibank N.A., and other financial institutions, and $165 million in financing provided by Citibank N.A. and other financial institutions for the entities outside of the U.S. that are not filing. The new financing, subject to Court approval, provides assurance that Exide will be able to continue to run its operations in the ordinary course and continue to serve its customers in a seamless manner. Suppliers who provide goods and services post-petition will be paid in the normal course.
Muhlhauser continued, "Our operations continue to be solid. With our lean manufacturing initiative, Excell, we have strengthened our ability to operate on a more efficient basis. Our fill rates are currently the highest they have ever been and we continue to offer our customers top quality products. Additionally, the realignment of our business units and our strategic sourcing initiatives have achieved significant productivity gains and cost savings that have enabled the Company to remain competitive in a challenging market. Combined with the financial restructuring, Exide will be in a better position to invest in our business and ensure our long-term success."
Exide said it has requested, and expects to receive Court approval to pay employee salaries, wages and benefits in the normal course of business, as well as continue to meet customer demands and supply products as usual.
Exide has established a supplier assistance center to answer questions from its suppliers. The toll free number for suppliers only is 866-758-8070.
Exide's legal counsel is Kirkland & Ellis. Jay Alix and Associates and The Blackstone Group are engaged to provide restructuring and financial advisory services.

In girls basketball: LR improves to 2-0 with big win at Lyndon
copyright the Chronicle 12-18-2012
LYNDON — Coming off a win over Oxbow to start the season, the Lake Region girls varsity carried that momentum right into Lyndon and left with a 56-32 win. Tyrah Urie led all scorers with 18 points, and Drew Neal added 14 points to power Lake Region. Kayla Jardine led Lyndon with 13 points but didn't get much help, because her teammates just couldn't get the ball in the basket consistently.
The game started with Lake Region scoring first to go up 2-0. Lyndon then got a three-point play from Jardine. Lyndon 3, Lake Region 2. Lyndon would then score again to go up 5-2.
Lake Region would then dominate on the defensive end of the floor including two steals from Urie to finish the quarter strong.
After one quarter of play the score stood Lake Region 13, Lyndon 8.
The second quarter would be all Lake Region. Their defense held Lyndon to five points the whole quarter on five free throws. Lyndon didn't score a field goal all quarter as Lake Region's defense didn't let up. They created turnover after turnover, steals, jump balls, travels, bad passes. LR would score 17 points in the quarter. At halftime the score stood at Lake Region 30, Lyndon 13.
The third quarter Lyndon came out and played much more soundly than they did in the first half. They crashed the boards better on offense as well as defensively. They would score 11 points in the quarter and Lake Region scored 15, so the third quarter was played out well by both teams. At the end of the third the score stood 45-23 in favor of Lake Region. Lyndon didn't allow as many fast breaks as they did in the first half, and Lyndon played well on offense with mostly a half-court set.
The fourth quarter would start with no scoring until Lyndon hit two free throws at the 6:21 mark of the quarter. Lake Region didn't score until the 5:18 mark on a layup by forward Emily Lawson. Lake Region's defense would dominate again, holding Lyndon to only one field goal and seven free throws. Lake Region would score 11 points in the quarter with two points each from, Tyrah Urie, Emily Lawson, Ashley Locke, Sabrina Roberge, and three from Drew Neal.
The final score of the game was 56-32 in favor of Lake Region.
After the game Lyndon Coach Eric Berry said, "Lake Region is a top six team in the division. It was a tough matchup for us being we are somewhat young and inexperienced. The main thing that hurt us was the turnovers. You can't have a gazillion turnovers and expect to win a game. However we played much better in the second half. We played better defense and crashed the boards on both ends of the floor. All we can do is learn from this game, improve, and move on."
Lake Region coach Mark Tinker said, "We played well defensively. We have always taken pride in our defense. We definitely need to improve on our fouls. We are fouling way too much, but part of that is playing very aggressive in-your-face defense. We tried a couple new defensive sets tonight, being we are still trying to gauge what set works best for us. Overall we played very well. Our defense created opportunities on the offensive end. The whole team contributed. It was a team effort."
Lake Region's next game is at home against Oxbow on December 21.

Five Below stock rallies 55% in debutJuly 19, 2012: 3:46 PM ET
Shares of Five Below, a discount retailer that targets teen shoppers, soared more than 55% Thursday, a day after the company raised $163 million through an initial public offering.
The company's stock opened up more than 50% above its IPO price of $17 and quickly surged more than 73%. Shares of Five Below (FIVE) finished their first trading day at $26.50, still up more than 55% from its IPO price.
The Philadelphia-based retailer, which sells everything from bejeweled iPhone cases to backpacks and basketballs for $5 or less, first opened stores in its hometown in 2002. The company has expanded rapidly across the eastern part of the country, and now operates 199 stores across 17 states. Its goal is to continue spreading, with plans to open 50 stores in 2012. Over 20 years, Five Below expects to have more than 2,000 locations up and running.
During the three-month period that ended April 28, Five Below's same-store sales, a key figure for retailers, jumped more than 10%, as overall revenue grew more than 50%. While the company lost $2 million during the latest quarter, its profit has nearly doubled each year between 2009 and 2011.
Goldman Sachs (GS), Barclays (BCS) and Jefferies (JEF) were the lead underwriters of the offering.

Why no slowdown blues for TCS
"We have an ideal margin in our mind that suits our business mix. But our aim goes beyond margins. Our focus is on becoming a full services play across the globe," he had said then. TCS had reported a strong operating margin in the preceding quarter which was just a few notches short of Infosys, the most profitable top-tierIndian IT player.
Two years on, TCS has shown not only better margin stability, but also a higher growth in revenue and profits compared to its immediate peers. The storied performance, both in terms of financial numbers as well as stock market returns - the stock has nearly trebled since the beginning of January 2008 when the local equities market touched a new high - reflects the success of its strategy to focus on end-to-end services offerings and to develop a delivery base across key global locations.
TCS is among the few top-tier Indian IT exporters to report strong traction in revenue growth during the last three years against the backdrop of the financial crisis in the West which originated in 2008.
The company's revenues grew at a compounded annual growth rate or CAGR of 22% in the three years to September 2012, faster than that of its peers including Infosys (16% growth) and Wipro (12%). With a tight grip on operating costs including selling and administrative expenses, TCS was able to expand profitability during the period.
Though the company has been clocking an operating margin which is on par or sometimes even better than Infosys, which strives to maintain an industry-best margin profile, it was not always the case. Four years ago, it was operating at a margin of over 22%, much lower than Infosys's 32%. To boost profitability, it took measures to increase the proportion of revenue from high-margin offshore delivery to over 51% from 45% earlier.
Besides, a focus on streamlining operating costs across offices brought down selling costs as a percentage of revenue to about 17% from as high as 22%. These changes helped in boosting operating margins to close to 28%.
It enhanced skills through acquisitions across markets. These initiatives helped in garnering a fair share of the new projects in the post-subprime period. TCS appears to be on a strong footing to weather the current headwinds of slowing demand across western economies and to take advantage of the shifting focus of clients from routine projects to transformational deals that enhance performance in the long run.

Mads Mikkelsen on Hannibal, The Hunt, and Fan Tumblrs
"I don't know what that means, Tumblrs? But that's so cute!"
Before Ryan Gosling became the muse of Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn, there was Mads Mikkelsen, who came to prominence in his home country in the Pusher film series. After winning over the rest of the world as the villain Le Chiffre in the first Daniel Craig James Bond film, Casino Royale, Mikkelsen returned to television (he had previously done a Danish crime drama called Unit One) as Hannibal Lecter in the brilliant and beautiful Hannibal series. But even though we might associate him with these villain roles, Mikkelsen turns that on its head by playing a character who is completely innocent in The Hunt. As the kindergarten teacher Lucas, he is accused of sexual abuse of a child — and then multiple children — as his community quite violently turns against him, no matter what he does or says in his defense. Mikkelsen chatted with Vulture about kicking ass, eyeball acting, and his Emmys expectations.
I actually saw your friend Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives last night.
Oh, yeah? I have not seen it yet.
I was struck by how little dialogue there was in it ...
Which has become one of his trademarks. Obviously in that one and Valhalla Rising, but in the first two or three Pusher films, that was packed with dialogue. That was like Scorsese in the early days. We were just spitting it out. So that has changed a little for Nicolas. But for Valhalla Rising, it was his idea to not have dialogue. He called and said, "I want you to be a Viking that has no past, no future, you only have one eye, and you don't say jack shit." [Laughs] I said, "Yeah, sure, why not?" We will definitely work together one day again, I just don't know when.
You've had a lot of parts which reference your eyes — one eye, eye patches, tears of blood, not blinking. Even in The Hunt, there's a remark about how someone can tell you're lying by your eyes. Do you like eyeball acting?
Yeah, there has been a tendency, but I've also driven a car on numerous occasions in films, and nobody ever mentions that! "Oh my God, there he goes again, sitting in a car!" [Laughs] Obviously, One Eye has one eye in Valhalla Rising, and Rochefort in The Three Musketeers has a patch on the eye, and then there's also Le Chiffre, his eye spilling blood. Hannibal's very different. He would never react to an instinct. He would never be cornered. He would never be stressed. He would never have all these natural things that the rest of us have, without knowing it, like blinking or scratching his arm, the stuff that makes us human beings. And if he does blink or if he does look a little nervous, it's something planned. So he will always be one hundred percent in control.
It's interesting how because Hannibal does not react in a human way, he's somehow above suspicion in people's minds, whereas Lucas in The Hunt, no matter how he reacts, people think he's guilty.
Yeah, you could say that to a certain degree. If he were screaming and shouting and hitting things, Lucas would have been thought of as guilty. If he's keeping totally quiet, he's guilty. And if he's behaving in a totally civilized manner, and confronting people in a rational way, he's also guilty. There is no way he can win that battle, because he's fighting emotions.
And he's fighting a system, which unbeknownst to him, is investigating sexual abuse in the wrong way, such as asking a child leading questions: "Did something white come out?" Klara doesn't know what that means; she just says yes.
And that is one of the most scary scenes in the film, and it's even more scary when you know it was taken word for word from an interview with a little girl in Norway. When I read it, I was like, "Are you kidding me?" And obviously this film is not trying to say that child abuse never takes place, because it does, and it's terrible, and it's not trying to say, "Oh, kids are always lying." But it is trying to say that when this is happening, we should not immediately react emotionally. We have to make absolutely sure before we make any accusation.
Especially because this kind of accusation can ruin someone's life, as it does Lucas's, even though he is innocent. He can't even go to the grocery store and try to get food without getting beat up.
They tell Lucas to get out, "and if you don't, I'm going to kick the shit out of you." We all really wanted that scene to happen: "Please let's kick the shit out of someone!" Because I had not been able to direct my anger anywhere. And we want this guy to behave in an uncivilized manner. We do not want him to take it as a man. We want him to be an animal. If the justice system is not helping you, fuck it — go out and kick some ass, you know?
What do you think about America's take on Nordic noir stories? Such as the two from your country which have been remade: Forbrydelsen — which featured your brother, Lars — becoming The Killing and now Broen becoming The Bridge, which debuted this week.
We would hope that you would be able to embrace the actual original versions of these shows, but no one here — no one — is going to watch it in Danish, and we have to accept that. So it's a natural thing to do a remake if they can capture the atmosphere they fell in love with. I've only seen a couple episodes of The Killing and I thought that looked really cool. But it's always a problem because what the Americans fell in love with, they also want to change.
Emmy nominations are next week. Do you think Hannibal will get a few?
Well, we never know, do we? Isn't it rare for a network to get that kind of nomination? If people believe we can get a couple nominations, that would be fantastic. I would be very surprised if I got nominated. And very enthusiastic. But I hope I don't get nominated before Hugh [Dancy] does, because he's doing tremendous work on the show. Maybe we could be nominated as a couple — the bromance! [Laughs] I can say really, really honestly that Hannibal really does love Will Graham. That doesn't mean he won't eat him, of course. But he loves him. He'd prefer to have him as a friend for the rest of his life. If that doesn't work out, he'll find something else.
I would love to see a spinoff show of just Hannibal cooking. It's such food porn when he cooks.
It is! We might be doing a cookbook next year. Everything is up there when he cooks. Everything he does is always elaborate. But Hannibal is a much better cook than I am. I'm much better in an Asian kitchen, like simple Thai dishes and Chinese dishes. I do an awesome coconut soup with shrimp and spicy chili.
David Bowie might be coming on the show to play your uncle. I can see the resemblance ...
I know what you're saying — the high cheekbones! [Laughs] That would be amazing, if that happens! I would love that. I'm an enormous fan. I actually saw him when I was living in New York in the late eighties; I was playing basketball down around Tompkins Square, and there was a little fuss on the court and it was sealed off, and it turned out that David Bowie was doing a part of his new music video there. So I was standing twenty meters away from him, and that was my first encounter with a celebrity, ever.
Have you seen any of the sites or Tumblrs dedicated to you, the ones that say they are "Mad about Mads"?
I don't know what that means, Tumblrs? But that's so cute! I have to go and look at it! I'll have to get some assistance from my kids, though, because I'm from the former millennium. I'm not even on Facebook. I've got enough friends I never see. You know how you have a lot of friends you never call? I don't have time for new friends, and I don't want to be friends with someone only online. I never understood that. But if David Bowie wants, I'll put him in my phone-book.

Comics ranging from Arsenio Hall and Tracy Morgan to Adam Sandler and Russell Brand came to tell stories about Eddie Murphy for a TV tribute to the Brooklyn-born comedian that taped over the weekend in LA.
Morgan, who appeared wearing a replica of Murphy's red leather suit from his stand-up show "Delirious," called Murphy "my comic hero."
"He set the tone for the whole industry a long time ago," Morgan said before taking the stage. "He inspired me in a fearless way."
Sandler was still in high school when he first saw "Delirious," which he described as "one of the most legendary stand-up specials of all time."
"Everybody on the planet wanted to be Eddie," he said.
Samuel L. Jackson said Murphy "changed the course of American film history" by giving Jackson his first speaking film role in 1988's "Coming to America."
"If it weren't for Eddie, we might not have all the wonderful films that I've made," Jackson quipped.
"I am a very, very bitter man," the famously prickly Murphy said with a smile. "I don't get touched easily, and I am really touched."
The tribute is set to air on the cable channel Spike later this month.


text: Moto Morini's bankruptcy has been going painfully slow, but it's all about to come to a head, as the Italian company will be put up on the auction block April 13th. The Super-Saver Moto Morini package includes all the appropriate intellectual property, assets, and equipment (sans motorcycles, which are being sold separately) for the cool sum of €5.5 million. Should no one want the whole kit 'n kaboodle, a cheaper price of €2.6 million will be set for the production complex with two years use included. These prices are of course the auction's guide prices.

I have previously posted the link to the online Tithe Applotment Books, but such a valuable resources bears another reminder. The Tithe Applotment Books is a valuable research tool for Irish family historians searching pre-Famine Ireland. These books were made between the years of 1823-1837, and cover the parishes and townlands of rural/agricultural Ireland. They were used by the British government to determine the amount of tithes owed to the Church of Ireland by the occupiers of agricultural holdings of over one acre. Remember, tithes were owed the official Church of Ireland by persons of ALL religions. The books list the heads of households. The database is not only searchable by surname, but includes a browse function, so researchers can survey the parishes and townlands, also.
ORYou can bookmark one link to access the three major online databases--the Irish census, the Soldiers' Wills, and the Tithle Applotments-- on the Archives' site:

Well, hello again! I'm preparing to shut down from a relaxing weekend and I wanted to post the cole slaw recipe that I made last weekend, that went very well with our Pulled Pork sandwiches.
This cole slaw is one of my husband's favorite dishes that I make for him. As a little girl, I used to love the cole slaw that was served at Kentucky Fried Chicken-- we're talking decades ago, when KFC served those wonderful buns (and not the biscuits they serve today).
At last, I can make a version that's as good-- actually better-- thanks to "Kittencal" at Recipezaar.com. Like many comfort foods, this is not low-fat. This slaw is mayonnaise based, has buttermilk, sugar, and some seasonings that are right on the money! Sometimes, you just have to enjoy these things, in moderation. I ate one serving of this, and my boys polished off the entire bowl. We begin with REAL mayonnaise. You need some half & half (yep, that's right). Start whisking....
Sometimes I make it in a jar, so my husband can make small portions of slaw throughout his work week.
TASTING NOTES: This dressing has a perfect balance of lemon citrus, a little sugar sweet, some tart from the vinegar and a richness from the buttermilk. It's a little naughty in the calorie department, but it's a nice treat. It's way better than any cole slaw I've bought at a deli, or been served in most restaurants.

Todd Bowles met with his defense for the first time Monday and the Eagles' new defensive coordinator didn't announce many changes in scheme, players said, but he did say one thing was going to be different.
"The biggest thing he said was we're not going to be predictable anymore," linebacker Casey Matthews said.
Several other players echoed Matthews' account of the meeting, held on the first day the Eagles gathered since last Monday, a day before Andy Reid fired Juan Castillo and promoted Bowles. While the defense will remain essentially as is with the same starting unit, several players said, there will be natural changes with a new man in charge.
"Things are going to be a little different," Matthews said. "Obviously, he's a totally different type of coach than Juan. Juan was a little more fiery. Todd's laid back, but he knows what he's talking about."
Bowles was hired in January to be the defensive backs coach, but players at other defensive positions said that they had gotten to know the coach over the last ten months. Mostly, they said they respected him based on his experience as a coach and a player.
"He was the interim head coach of the Dolphins last year," Matthews said. "He's been around. He's well-respected. I think that's one thing, as a player, he's been on the defensive side for a while. Juan came over from the offense so a lot of people, especially vets, you don't know if they're qualified."
Some have wondered if Bowles has plans to blitz more since the defensive line has had trouble getting pressure.
"He said he's not here to revamp the defense," Matthews said. "We're still running the same stuff. He just wants us to play together and take it back to training camp days -- basic fundamentals, getting extra work after practice or getting in your playbook."
Defensive end Jason Babin was evasive when asked about Bowles.
"I'm not a football guy. I don't know much about him," Babin said. "Shows up on time, works hard."
Babin was asked if he had a reaction when the Eagles announced Tuesday that Bowles would replaced the fired Castillo.
"I've been doing this for nine years now," Babin said. "Kind of have to be numb to the goings-ons."
In other news on the defensive side of the ball, defensive tackle Mike Patterson practiced, as expected. The Eagles have three weeks to decide if they want to activate Patterson or he will have to be placed on season-ending Injured Reserve.
Safety Nate Allen (hamstring) did not practice but he said that he would be ready to play Sunday against the Falcons.

With his distinctive yet not quite placeable Mid-Atlantic accent, he was noted as perhaps the foremost exemplar of the debonair leading man: handsome, charismatic, and charming. Nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Actor and five times for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, he missed out every time until he was finally honoured with an Honorary Award at the 42nd Academy Awards.

The Chicago Fire Soccer Club today announced the addition of the Chicago Fire Juniors Florida to the club's player development system. Established to serve the Southwest Florida soccer market, CFJ-Florida becomes the eighth Fire Juniors satellite program outside of the hub in Naperville, IL and the third CFJ club to compete in the United Soccer Leagues Super-Y League.
CFJ-Florida comes together with the union of Florida Premier Soccer Club, Gulf Coast Soccer Academy and Southwest Florida United Soccer Academy and will begin placing teams in the U13, U15, and U17 divisions of the USL Super Y-League in 2011.
"We're excited to bring the Chicago Fire program to this area," said CFJ-Florida Executive Director Mark Prizant. "Our coaches look forward to working with the best players throughout the region and we view this program as the best way to establish new and strong pathways to professional soccer in Southwest Florida."
"We're ecstatic to welcome another extension of our club in Southwest Florida," said Chicago Fire Director of Player Development John Dorn. "We view the region as an excellent growth market which provides unlimited opportunities both in terms of player development and the added benefit of another warm-weather market for our elite teams to visit during the winter months here in Chicago. Our hope is that an initiative like this brings together as many great soccer entities in the area as possible."
Tryout information for CFJ-Florida will be forthcoming in the next few weeks. Please stay tuned to www.chicagofirejuniorsflorida.com for more information relating to the newest Chicago Fire Juniors club.
About the Chicago Fire Juniors
Established in 2004 as the official youth soccer club of Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire, the Chicago Fire Juniors have since expanded to include branches in Chicago land, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi and Louisiana. The eight clubs are now a key feature of the Chicago Fire's Player Development Pyramid. This "Pyramid" creates a progressive developmental structure providing players with the unique opportunity to move from introductory play, competitive play and elite youth play into academy (Fire Academy U16 & U18) and development programs (PDL, NPSL, Super-20) – finally, onto the Fire MLS team. The Chicago Fire Juniors, in association with the Chicago Red Eleven of the women's W-League, replicate the Player Development Pyramid for females by providing young ladies the opportunity to play at a high level.

Horoscopes for week of July 3, 2008
In his song "Get Behind the Mule," Tom Waits tells us to "Never let the weeds get taller than the garden." That's advice you should heed in the coming weeks. But don't go overboard and become a fanatic who acts as if weeds are evil demons from the ninth level of hell. Keeping a few well-trimmed wild plants and a mushroom or two would be quite healthy. You need a bit of messy serendipity mixed in with your law and order.
In her book Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, Annie Dillard notes that there is only a tiny difference between the lifebloods of plants and animals. A molecule of chlorophyll contains 36 atoms of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon arrayed around an atom of magnesium, while a molecule of hemoglobin is exactly the same except for an atom of iron instead of magnesium. I offer this as an apt metaphor to illustrate the choice you have ahead of you: As similar as the various possibilities may seem, the simple thing you put at the center of each option will make a tremendous difference.
It's Beautify Yourself Week, dear Cancerian. A conspiracy of cosmic proportions is preparing the conditions necessary for you to capitalize handsomely on this opportunity. At this very moment, there is beauty behind you and beauty in front of you. There is beauty to your left and beauty to your right, beauty above you and beauty below you. All you have to do is inhale, drink in, and otherwise suck up this lushness. It will interact synergistically with the splendor that is also welling up in you, and you will transform into an almost unbearably gorgeous work of art.
Are you up for some cutting-edge slashing and smashing and crashing? I'm talking about slashing the price you've been paying for following your dreams; smashing beliefs that made sense years ago but are irrelevant now; and crashing parties where your future teachers and allies are gathered. Once you get the hang of all that, Leo, you can move on to other brilliant demolitions, like cracking codes, breaking trances, and shattering spells cast on you by the past.
When Tom first arrived in Santa Cruz from South Carolina at age 22, he was homeless and had $110. He quickly scored a temp job as a laborer, doing menial tasks at construction sites. His first assignment was at a place where a delivery truck had accidentally dropped a load of lumber at the bottom of a hill instead of at the top where a new house was to be built. Tom's job was to carry the heavy boards and beams up the hill one by one. He felt a bit like Sisyphus in the Greek myth -- that forlorn character whose punishment by the gods required him to push a boulder up a hill again and again, only to have it plummet down each time as he reached the peak. Unlike Sisyphus, things got better for Tom. During the next 15 years, he became a successful real estate agent. One day he sold the million-dollar house that had been built from the wood he'd once toted up the hill. This is a perfect time, Virgo, for you to predict and plot out a long-term personal triumph that will match Tom's.
It's the Power-Gathering Season for you, Libra. A good way to energize your efforts would be to define clearly and imaginatively what power means to you. I've got two riffs to get you started. First, here's one from a famous French ruler whose name I'll withhold so as not to distract you from the riff itself: "I love power. But it is as an artist that I love it. I love it as a musician loves his violin, to draw out its sounds and chords and harmonies." Here's the second definition, from poet Dennis Holt in his newsletter "Quincunx": "Power is what sends the woodpecker down from his tree to poke for worms in the muddy road one morning after all-night rain on a ridge above the Pacific within earshot of the surf."
I'm not a big fan of Disneyland, but that doesn't mean I can't borrow its ideas for your use. The fact is, Scorpio, the coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to identify your own personal versions of frontierland, adventureland, or tomorrowland. I'm not talking about experiences and places that resemble glitzy theme-parks, but rather the wild and thrilling things that gently shock your mind into expanding. You're in a phase of your cycle when you'll tend to generate good luck and helpful synchronicity by pushing your imagination beyond its usual fantasies.
Beginning in 1951, the U.S. government regularly set off nuclear bombs in the desert 65 miles northwest of Las Vegas. Most of the 1,021 explosions occurred underground, though for 11 years some were also done in the open air. Tourists used to flock to Las Vegas to watch the mushroom clouds, which were visible from that distance. As far as we know, the detonations ceased in 1992. Also as far as we know, the unusual lifestyles of Las Vegas's inhabitants are not the result of mutations in their DNA caused by radioactive contamination. Let's use this scenario as a departure point for your own personal inventory, Sagittarius. What dangerous or tempestuous events from your life are now safely confined to the past? Are there any lingering consequences from them? If so, what might you do to heal?
By the year 2100, some human beings will be married to sophisticated robots. So concludes David Levy, who got a doctorate from a Dutch university for his thesis, "Intimate Relationships with Artificial Partners." Let's use his prophecy as a jumping-off point for your meditation, Capricorn. In your fantasies about togetherness, are you unconsciously harboring any unrealistic desires for robotic perfection? If so, are they interfering with your ability to have deep and satisfying relationships with interesting but flawed people? Take inventory of any tendencies you might have to want artificial partners. Then dissolve those delusions.
"Dear Rob: After a long stretch of patiently putting up with God's mean-spirited tricks, I decided I'd had enough. So I fired Him. Now I'm going to create a brand new deity from scratch. Do you have any recommendations on what qualities a truly cool divine being might possess? - Awakening Aquarius." Dear Awakening: One quality your fresh god should have is an appreciation for your originality. You also deserve a deity who likes it when you take your fate into your own hands. That's all I'll say. It's a good time for you Aquarians to shun other people's ideas about the divine influences and brainstorm extravagantly about what's true for you.
What are the differences between tacky, meaningless fun and beautiful, constructive fun? What are the distinctions between dumb, trivial pleasure and smart, life-exalting pleasure? I'm hoping that meditations on these subjects will inspire you to overcome any laziness you might have about cultivating happiness. It's a perfect time for you to attempt this monumental accomplishment, you see. You're at a potential turning point in your astrological cycle, a time when you could get in the habit of treating your hero's journey as if it were an ever-evolving celebration.

text: You may have been misled by some eager journalists today and yesterday, if you saw a Ducati Corse livery-clad Ducati Desmosedici GP12 that some sites were passing off as the first shots of the "90% new" GP12. With the alleged new GP12 looking surprisingly similar to the aluminum-framed "GP0" that was tested at Valencia, Valentino Rossi's mechanic has now Alex Briggs confirmed that the photos taken were not of the all new "GP12 Phoenix" that the factory team will race this season. While the Ducati lords can taketh away, they can also giveth, and Valentino Rossi himself has posted the first photo of the factory Desmosedici GP12, and the bike is clearly different.
