Two Lesbian Reverend Sisters Get Married to Each Other (See What the Pope is Saying About It)
Two reverend sisters have gotten married to each other, a development which has caused a stir around the world.
Pope Francis has even reacted to the development.
According to him, he has been 'saddened' after he heard the two nuns had married each other in a secret civil ceremony in Italy, a Vatican official has revealed.
According to Daily Mail, the women, known as Sister Federica and Sister Isabel, tied the knot in Pinerolo, near Turin on September 28 after falling in love during a mission in West Africa.
They have since revealed they decided to follow their hearts after hearing the Pope's comments on gay people in 2013 when he famously said: 'Who am I to judge?'
But far from being happy about the union, Vatican Deputy Secretary of State Archbishop Angelo Becciu said the Pope, 79, was left visibly upset.
'How much sadness on the pope's face when I read him the news of the two married 'nuns'!' Becciu tweeted on Friday.
Daily Mail reports that during an interview with La Repubblica, Federica, 44, from Italy, and Isabel, 40, from South America, declared their love was a 'gift from God'.
They said they did not want to just live together in a convent and keep their relationship under wraps as this would be 'false'.
The couple revealed they decided to act on their feelings when Pope Francis encouraged those in the Catholic Church not to judge others.
During an interview in 2013, the religious leader said: 'If a person is gay and seeks the Lord and has good will, well who am I to judge them?'
The two nuns said: 'That phrase has opened our hearts.'
They took advantage of a law passed this year that offers homosexual couples legal recognition in Italy – one of the last countries in the West to do so.
Last week, Pope Francis said all transsexuals and homosexuals should be 'welcomed' and embraced by the Catholic Church.
He said Jesus would never have turned away transgender people and revealed he had ministered to homosexuals as a priest, bishop and now as Pope.
'When a person arrives before Jesus, Jesus certainly will not say, 'Go away because you are homosexual',' the religious leader said.
'Each case must be welcomed, accompanied, studied, discerned and integrated. This is what Jesus would do today.'

How much should London city council members be paid?
Do we pay members of London city council too much? Too little? Just about right? A seven-member citizen task force is seeking the opinions of Londoners about whether the pay for those who represent them at city hall needs to be adjusted — not the current crop of politicians, but those elected to council in the next election late in 2014. Chip Martin reports.
— — —
Current pay for London city councillors: $33,262 (equivalent to $36,262 if there was no tax-free provision)
Current pay for London mayor: $104,258 (equivalent to $130,916 if fully taxed)
Pay scales in other cities with one-third tax-free allowance:
Windsor: Mayor, $180,452; councillors, $40,366 including pooled payments for positions on boards
Hamilton: Mayor, $124,911; councillors, $71,286
Kitchener: Mayor, $74,656 (plus additional amount as member of Waterloo Region council); councillors, $38,409
A public participation meeting will be held Thursday at city hall by the council compensation review task force into the touchy council salary issue.
The meeting is at 5 p.m. in committee room 5 on the second floor.
Meanwhile, an online survey can be found at the city's website (www.london.ca) with a deadline for comments of Sept. 15.
Londoners are being asked about appropriate pay levels, whether the one-third tax-free portion of council paycheques should continue and whether pension and other benefits should continue for their local elected officials.
One interested observer directed the local government program at Western University and has written a slew of books on local government.
Andrew Sancton, a professor specializing in municipal politics, notes the issue of compensation is so delicate that in Quebec it has been taken over by the province.
"That means it is centralized, with less municipal autonomy, but it makes it easier," he said.
In London, the issue of council pay is invariably assigned to a committee of citizens and relates to future councils, not the one currently in office.
Sancton said a key issue in any debate about adequate compensation is whether the job of London councillor is a part-time or full-time position. The mayor is the only council member expected to be a full-timer.
"It seems to me the current system is based on the premise these are part-time people and given that, I don't think there is an argument to be made for any significant increase at all," he said.
His premise is challenged by Coun. Stephen Orser, who argues long and loud — and at the drop of a hat — the position should be full time.
Sancton disagrees and says a city the size of London requires councillors be part time and he sees many benefits in that.
"I think in a place like London there are huge advantages to having ordinary citizens who are holding down a more or less regular job," he said.
The downside of part-time pay, however, is that the job will tend to attract people who "don't need a job . . . people who can't seem to find a job other than one that pays about $35,000 a year," he added.
The task force includes representatives appointed by the London Chamber of Commerce, the Urban League of London, the London and District Labour Council, human resources sector and three citizens-at-large.
It faces months of research and deliberations and needs to have its report completed and adopted well in advance of next fall's vote so potential candidates know the level of pay they'd receive if they win election.
Also to be determined is whether to continue the one-third tax-free allowance extended to council pay by provincial legislation.
That provision was intended to be an additional perk but only serves to undermine the guiding principle such pay "must be transparent, open and easily understandable."
Sancton says it should go.
"There is absolutely no question a tax-free allowance muddies the water and makes it less transparent," he said.

A reputation for being a highly flexible suit with great lift in the water. The new REACTION continues to impress with arguably the best buoyancy profile of any suit blueseventy make thanks to premium 39 cell Yamamoto rubber.
|Wetsuit Type:
|Full Sleeve
The upper body has been upgraded with a brand new jersey liner for unrestrictive reach in the water. New leg paneling delivers faster transition splits. Add to that a low neckline and VO2 chest panel, and you've got a suit that delivers everything you need in training and racing.
Technologies And What Makes This The Best Reaction Yet
REACTIVE STRETCH TECHNOLOGY (RST) - Further enhanced with ultra stretch jersey, the RST panels improve arm mobility, reach and propulsion.
S-FLEX - 2mm thin side panels improve fit and body rotation in the water without sacrificing buoyancy.
VO2 CHEST PANEL - A central split chest panel allows greater chest expansion and unimpeded breathing.
LOWERED COLLAR - Over twenty years of wetsuit design experience has made our traditional zipper an industry standard. Our curved closure flap reduces rear collar height, improving comfort and reducing chafing. Also features an easy-access key loop.
QUICK EXIT LEGS - 2mm lower leg panels maximize the flexibility and promote a quick release from your suit in transition. Taping on the internal seams is reinforced and allows you to cut the leg to a desired length.
S-GRIP PANELS - A textured forearm print on our high stretch jersey provides extra feel for the water and additional grip in the propulsion phase of the stroke.
AQUASEAL - The 4-way stretch fabric in our silicone cuffs seal the wrists from unwelcome water entry, without catching when removing the suit.
BUOYANCY - The Reaction features a 4-5-4 panel design centralizing core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the body. Two 4mm chest panels accent natural lung buoyancy to optimize upper body position relative to the legs. 5mm neoprene supports the hips and lower torso, lifting the body in the water, reducing drag and improving speed. 5mm panels in the back of the hips are orientated to facilitate a raised body position when you roll to the side during breathing.
FLEXIBILITY - Highly flexible 100% nylon ultra stretch jersey is lighter and features 35% improvement in elongation compared to standard jersey.
Modern triathlon wetsuits were invented by Dan Empfield in 1987 and are customized to the needs of triathletes, they generally incorporate the following key features which differentiates them from a normal wetsuit. 1, Thinner and/or more pliable rubber near the shoulders. 2, Long zippers to facilitate quick removal during transition. In addition, tri wetsuits have a very smooth, but often fragile, surface. This slick surface helps to reduce water friction and allows a faster swim. Another advantage of a tri wetsuit is the added buoyancy that the wetsuit provides, this can provide triathletes with a considerable speed and energy saving advantage over swimming without a suit.
Since 1993, we've designed, tested, refined and crafted wetsuits and swimskins that transcend the confines of what is possible. In the process, we've carried world-class athletes to victory and instilled confidence in beginners. We make products that empower swimmers to achieve their personal bests. We are swimming. We are blueseventy.

In an operation that began before dawn on Monday, law enforcement agencies from Allegany County combined to conduct a warrant sweep targeting individuals wanted in Allegany County for a variety of offenses ranging from Violation of Probation (VOP) on up to robbery. Participating agencies included the Maryland State Police, the Cumberland Police, the Allegany County Sheriff's Office, the Frostburg Police, the C3I Narcotics Task Force, the Allegany County Emergency Operations Center, and C3I.
Suspects were processed with the assistance of technicians with the Maryland State Police Forensic Sciences Division. They were then transported to the Allegany County District Court Commissioner's Office for their initial appearance.
A total of 21 suspects were arrested throughout the morning. The following individuals, their age, town of residence, the charge, and release conditions, were arrested:
1.) Jason Carl Bender, 37, Cumberland, Assault on Police, released on recognizance
2.) Evan McKinley West, 18, Cumberland, Robbery, held on $50,000.00 bond
3.) Jason Michael Weinberger, 26, Cumberland, Fugitive (Theft), held without bond
4.) Michael Thomas McWhirter, 61, Cumberland, VOP, released on $150.00 bond
5.) Michael Edward Preston, 27, Frostburg, VOP, held on $500.00 bond
6.) Thomas Joseph Farrell III, 26, Frostburg, VOP, held without bond
7.) Paige Tresa Shingler, 20, Cumberland, VOP, released on $365.00 bond
8.) Jennifer Sue Riggleman, 24, Midland, Theft, released on recognizance

12.) William Edward Ravenscroft, 43, Cumberland, VOP, held on $200.00 bond
13.) Joshua Keith Fasching, 25, Midland, Theft, released on recognizance
14.) Sean Matthew Dillon, 31, Cumberland, False Statement to a Police Officer, released
on recognizance
15.) Heath Lawrence Bittner, 30, Mt. Savage, VOP, released on $65.00 bond
16.) Bryan Scott Atkinson, 46, Cumberland, Assault, held on $3500.00 bond
17.) Christopher Alan Porter, 32, Oldtown, Sex Offense, held on $2500.00 bond
18.) Antoinette Blank, 47, Cumberland, VOP, held on $500.00 bond
19.) Robert Lee Porter, 52, Cumberland, Failure to Appear, released on recognizance
20.) Dwayne Lamonte Kelly, 42, Cumberland, Theft, held on $3000.00 bond
21.) James Michael Dicus, 24, Cumberland, CDS Violations, released on recognizance
Those individuals who were held were transported to the Allegany County Detention Center where they will be held until they post bond, or until their next court appearance. Arrest teams are continuing to search for other suspects who are currently wanted, and will continue until the suspects are apprehended.
One Response to "Crime sweep leads to two dozen arrests"
Thank you to our Police force in arresting 21 suspects. This shows why we need to continue to support our Law Enforcement agencies. They should be getting raises instead of worrying about being cut. This also shows that Cumberland isn't the place it used to be. That is sad.

The year 1860 brought to Tarrant County, to borrow from Shakespeare, the summer of our discontent. As elsewhere in the South during the months leading up to Fort Sumter, in Tarrant County passions ran high as sentiments leaned toward secession and suspicions fell upon Unionists and abolitionists. Fort Worth newspapers of the time are not available, so reports in other newspapers must be relied upon to piece together the situation in Fort Worth in 1860-1861.
Former president of the Alabama state Senate Colonel Nat Terry, who owned a plantation in today's Samuels Avenue neighborhood, and Colonel Middleton Tate Johnson, who owned a plantation in today's south Arlington, were probably the largest slaveholders in the area, with at least fifty slaves each.
These two slave enumerations of 1850 for Terry and Johnson show that Nat Terry was still living in Alabama, where he listed eighty-four slaves. He came to Fort Worth in 1853.
And in 1850 Johnson was easily the largest slaveholder in Tarrant County. (Read the memories of one Johnson slave.)
Ephraim Merrell Daggett, with ten slaves, was still living in Shelby County in 1850. After he moved to Fort Worth his farm covered much of the south end of today's downtown. Daggett continued to own slaves, including the mother of Jeff Daggett. Another slave owner was Charles Turner, whose farm was located at today's Greenwood Cemetery. Historian Julia Kathryn Garrett said David Mauck, the contractor who built Fort Worth's second county courthouse, used his slaves as the construction crew. But many other Fort Worth residents who didn't own slaves had settled in Texas from slaveholding states and retained pro-slavery (and/or states' rights) sentiments.
Another slaveholder was General Edward H. Tarrant, namesake of the county, who lived in Ellis County in 1850.
The Birdville Journal newspaper seems to have had a short life. A profusion of small, partisan newspapers sprang up before the Civil War to promote their views on slavery and states' rights. The Journal claimed that abolitionists were living in the "Pacific Reserve." That was the Missouri and Pacific Railroad Land Reserve in Texas, which was being settled for fifty cents an acre. The Dallas Weekly Herald disputed the Journal's claim of abolitionists. Clip is from the May 1, 1858 San Antonio Ledger.
"Unheard of Scoundrelism" was the cry after suspicious fires broke out in several north Texas counties—including Tarrant and Dallas—in the summer of 1860. Vigilance committees accused abolitionists of a "diabolical plot to devastate the whole of Northern Texas," wrote the July 31 Houston Telegraph.
Anthony Bewley (b. 1804) was a Tennessee-born minister who by 1858 was living in Johnson County south of Fort Worth. Bewley was a Northern Methodist, opposed slavery, endorsed abolition. Those views did not set well with many folks in these parts. After the "unheard of scoundrelism" began, suspicion quickly fell upon Bewley and other abolitionists, especially after two Tarrant County men found a letter, dated July 3, 1860 and written from Denton Creek. The letter was addressed to a Reverend William Bewley and supposedly was written by a fellow abolitionist, W. H. Bailey. The letter urged Bewley to continue his abolition work in Texas. The writer mentioned "our glorious cause" and the "Mystic Red" abolitionist organization and said, "If we can break Southern merchants and millers, and have their places filled by honest Republicans, Texas will be an easy prey, if we only do our duty." "Our Heavenly Father will reward us for helping him in blotting out the greatest curse on earth." The letter called for "a different material to be used about town, etc. Our friends sent a very inferior article; they emit too much smoke, and do not contain enough camphene," a combustible liquid.
Many people believed that the letter was a forgery written by slavery partisans to foment violence against abolitionists. But others interpreted the letter as proof that the Reverend Anthony Bewley was in cahoots with abolitionists in Texas. This clip is from the Charlotte, North Carolina, Western Democrat of October 16, 1860.
On August 18, 1860 the Texas State Gazette quoted the True Issue, a La Grange weekly, as reporting that Tarrant County residents had met to discuss taking measures against "abolition incendiarism" and advising abolitionists to skedaddle.
One abolitionist who didn't skedaddle was William H. Crawford. On August 16, 1860 the Yorkville, South Carolina, Enquirer, reporting on the "abolition-negro conspiracy in Texas," reported that the Louisville Courier had printed the letter of a Birdville man who said Crawford had been found in possession of weapons "with which to arm the slaves." On the night of July 16-17 during the summer of our discontent, Crawford was lynched in Fort Worth.
Eight days later the Raleigh, North Carolina, Weekly Standard added some details, quoting the Fort Worth Chief. The short-lived Chief was Fort Worth's first newspaper, published by Anthony Banning Norton, who was a Unionist. The Chief said that Crawford had been hanged from a pecan tree three-quarters of a mile from town and that a citizens committee had "endorsed the action of the party who hung him." In his autobiography, Force Without Fanfare, Major K. M. Van Zandt said that later in 1860 Norton packed up his press and left town because his antislavery views were not popular.
On September 29, 1860 the Texas State Gazette reprinted a letter from a man in Arkansas saying that the Reverend Bewley, now with a $1,000 reward on his head, had been arrested and jailed in Arkansas.
While under detention Bewley wrote to his wife from Fayetteville on September 6:
"I never took up my pen under such circumstances before. . . . They have not put me in jail, but keep me under guard. At night I am chained fast to some person, and in the day I have liberty to walk about with the guard. . . . I suppose they will set out with us to Texas on the overland stage, and if so, hand us over to the Fort Worth Committee and receive the reward. Then we will, I suppose, be under their supervision, to do with us as seemeth them good. And if that takes place, dear and much beloved wife and loving children, I shall never, in this life, expect to see you; but I shall look to meet you all, with our little babe that has already gone to that blessed haven of repose."
Bewley's fear was well founded. On October 15 the Richmond, Virginia Daily Dispatch reported that the Houston Telegraph said Bewley had been returned to Fort Worth. On September 13 Bewley, like Crawford, was lynched.
Historian Oliver Knight in Fort Worth: Outpost on the Trinity wrote that Bewley, accused of "implication in a nefarious plot to poison wells, fire towns and residences, and in the midst of conflagration and death, to run off with the slaves," was lynched on a tree west of town—next to the dangling body of suspected abolitionist Crawford. Knight wrote that "The two men were held in such hatred that neither was ever given the dignity of burial. Suspended from rotting ropes, their bodies became skeletons hanging in the breeze."
On September 29 the Texas State Gazette reprinted the mocking report of the Bewley lynching in the White Man, a secessionist newspaper in Gainesville. (Veal's Station was in Parker County.)
(Culpability for the Bewley and Crawford lynchings would be debated for years. In 1871, after Nat Terry had been elected president of the state Democratic convention, the Houston Union quoted the State Journal as claiming that Terry had been chairman of the vigilance committee that had hanged the two men. The report mentions the store of Charles Turner and Henry Clay Daggett and the office of physicians William Paxton Burts and Carroll Peak. [Contrary to this report, Nat Terry had lost his bid for the Alabama governorship.])
By the new year 1861, much had happened. Lincoln had been elected president in November 1860. South Carolina had seceded in December. Before the end of January five more southern "cotton states" would secede. On January 16, 1861 the Dallas Herald reported that a delegation in Tarrant County had elected two secessionist delegates to the state convention on secession. One delegate was Nat Terry, "who held that the propriety of secession was beyond a doubt, in the event that the seven other cotton States accomplished this end." (Pryor and Swindells were editor and publisher of the Herald.)
On February 23, 1861 Texans (men only) went to the polls to vote in a referendum for or against secession. The results: 46,153 for and 14,747 against. Texas at the time was estimated to have a population of 421,649 free people and 182,566 slaves. Only eighteen counties of 122 voting rejected secession. On February 27, although the vote totals were not yet final, the Dallas Weekly Herald wrote that "The Southern Confederacy already looms up in grand proportions."
On March 6 the Dallas Weekly Herald reported that Tarrant County vote totals were still incomplete, but the Journal of the Secession Convention listed Tarrant County's final vote count as 462 for secession and 127 against.
Pioneer attorney J. C. Terrell in his memoirs remembered the vote differently. He said Tarrant County approved secession by a margin of only twenty-seven out of eight hundred votes cast. He said that such men as he, John Peter Smith, and District Attorney Dabney C. Dade "voted with Gen. Sam Houston against secession." Nonetheless, when war came, Terrell and Smith fought for the Confederacy. Dade, who had been Terrell's schoolmate and law partner, "refused to take the oath to the Confederacy" and "went back North."
On March 2—Texas Independence Day and Sam Houston's birthday—the summer of our discontent yielded to the winter of our dissolution: Texas secession from the Union became official.
Then came April 12 and the Battle of Fort Sumter in South Carolina: "The War Begun." Clip is from the April 20 Clarksville Northern Standard.
On July 24, 1861 the Dallas Weekly Herald reported a military parade during a barbecue at the Cold Springs east of today's Samuels Avenue. "The military feeling is increasing in old Tarrant, and the men are being drilled by experienced officers."
After the war began, although Texas soil largely avoided military clashes, especially when compared with states east of the Mississippi River, civilian tensions continued over the issues of secession and abolition. In the secession referendum in February 1861 Cooke County had been among seven counties on or near the Red River that had voted to remain in the Union. (Map from Texas Almanac.)
In Cooke County the referendum vote had been more than 70 percent against secession. During the Great Hanging at Gainesville (Cooke County) in October 1862, vigilantes hanged forty-one suspected Unionists. It was the greatest mass lynching in Texas history. These clips are from the Wilmington, North Carolina Journal, Athens, Tennessee Post, and Cass County, Michigan Republican.
Not until March 30, 1870 would Texas be readmitted to the Union.

For some of your customers technology will always be a burden.
It is important to know whether your client received the images. Whether they downloaded them, uploaded them to Facebook or simply looked at them.
Photocouch will confirm whether the images are actually delivered to your client.
Increase your referrals - Image delivery is marketing
Do you want your clients to show-off your photos to their friends and collegues? Do you want these people to visit your website and order photo sessions too?
Imagine that your customers can easily share your photos among their network doing 'mouth to mouth' or should we call it 'wall to wall' Facebook communication.
The first thing clients want to do after a photo session is to put the images on their Facebook page and share it to the world. It would be nice if they can do so with one single click.
- Allow your customers to upload to Facebook, straight from your customers' shielded photo space.
- Notify which photos are being transferred to Facebook.

We have launched the official World War 1 website to remember the sacrifices made by men and women during WW1 across the District.
The special website developed by the Council in partnership with WLCT not only gives visitors information on local campaigns and events commemorating World War 1, but is also a way for family, friends and survivors to share their own memories.
This website has a wealth of local information about local men from the area who lost their lives during the First World War and also highlights our local wartime history.
Last year marked the centenary of the start of the First World War and there have been a number of events and commemorations in the District to remember those who fought. This year has seen two events: 'Four Winters at War' and 'Stepping into Wartime' which have formed part of the four year centenary programme. Both events were extremely successful and provided people with an experience of wartime within Cannock Chase District.
View photos from the latest event 'Stepping into Wartime' that took place on 11 August 2015. Thanks to all those that supported the event.

Availability of Central Instrument Facility for Academic/Industrial Researchers
Poornaprajna Institute of Scientific Research (PPISR) has established a testing facility for all researchers from academic institutions and industries, to characterize their samples. Interested individuals can analyze their samples under the guidance of a PPISR staff. PPISR has procured several analytical instruments that are vital for the faculty and students to pursue advanced research in basic and applied sciences. The Analytical Facility has several sophisticated instruments namely Powder X-ray Diffractometer, Surface Area Analyzer, Temperature Program desorption (TPD) Analyzer, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultra Violet–Visible Spectroscopy (UV-VIS), and Fluorescence Spectrophotometer.
The following instruments are available at the PAC for external users:
1. Powder X-ray Diffractometer (PXRD)
The D2 PHASER – table top X-ray Powder Diffractometer from Bruker is ideal for qualitative, quantitative and structure analysis of polycrystalline samples.
2. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
The Bruker-alpha FTIR spectrophotometer is a compact instrument and measures the infrared spectrum, which represents the molecular absorption and transmission of a sample.
3. Fluorescence Spectrophotometer
The Varian Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer is a compact instrument and measures the fluorescence, phosphorescence, chemi/bio-luminescence, and time resolved phosphorescence.
Spectral range UV-Vis. Xenon flash lamp technology with room light immunity and high sensitivity.
4. Ultra Violet – Visible Spectroscopy (UV-VIS)
The UV-Visible spectrophotometer from Perkin Elemer can be routinely used in analytical chemistryfor the quantitative determination of different analytes such as transition metal ions, highly conjugated organic compounds, and biological macromolecules.
5.Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
This instrument from Perkin-Elmer is used for the qualitative and quantitative determination of chemical elements employing the absorption of optical radiation (light) by free atoms in the gaseous state. In analytical chemistry the technique is used for determining the concentration of a particular element (the analyte) in a sample to be analyzed.
6. Temperature Program desorption (TPD) Analyzer

PPISR currently houses a small library, an online catalog of which will be shortly available via Librarika. Following the current worldwide trend, a large deal of our current reading material for research purposes is paperless and accessed online. The available books in our present library collection are about 1500 advanced books in the fields of the materials, biological and physical sciences.
The institute has a fledgling GPU (graphics processing unit) based High Performance computing (HPC) facility, consisting of an NVidia supercomputer with Tesla GPU. Shortly, we plan on a HPC facility with HP Z840 Workstation with Intel Xeon E5 2630 processor.
This would be the basis for a centralized software facility @ PPISR with packages like Schrodinger (molecular modeling, drug design, and materials science software), Gaussian (general purpose computational chemistry software package for electronic structure calculations, Hartree-Fock method,etc.), Mathematica etc,
Hardware requirements are easily met with a HPC, even for multiple users. For example, Gaussian requires:
- Processor: Intel Pentium 4, AMD Athlon, and later.
- Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 R2.
- Memory (RAM): 1 GB.
- Disk: 1.7 GB (G16W storage); and 500 MB or more (scratch space)
- Other: CD-ROM drive; Mouse.
Schrodinger lists the following minimum hardware requirements:
- x86_64 compatible processor.
- 4 GB memory per core.
- 10 GB disk space for software installation; 100 GB if databases (PDB, BLAST, etc) are also installed.
- Network card with a configured network interface.
- 16-bit color (for Maestro)
GPU computing employs the GPU as a co-processor to accelerate the standard CPUs both for general purpose scientific as well as engineering computing. Numerically intense calculations that do not involve too many logical transfers can be offloaded from the CPU to the GPU, where the massive parallelization using 100s of (relatively small) cores, speeds up overall calculation.
Currently it is being utilized for calculation of material properties from first principles. We hope to use this for molecular dynamics for initial catalyst screening, biochemistry simulations and data analysis.

Hello and welcome to my website! A website that I created to showcase some of my images taken in areas where I did not have to walk, hike, swim or even drive miles off some beaten path to reach. No, these photographs only required a short walk from where my car was parked—sometimes just to the other side of the parking lot!
And while I certainly appreciate the hard work and planning many photographers put into getting to a terrific location in their pursuit of taking a great image, I wanted, and needed, to take an easier route. Although I can still hike a few miles, climb some boulders and get across some shallow streams, that is not something that I always want to do. I want the shot—just not always the hike!
Each photograph I post will describe the subject, where it was taken and how far I had to go once I got out of my car. Did I park in a lot and then walk a mile on a path to the location? Did I just pull over to the side of the road and take the shot without even getting out of the car? Anything odd about the walk? Was it an easy walk (I like these) or was it a bit more strenuous (not likely to have a lot of these)? I will let you know.
You will find some of the images here are somewhat iconic (I hope) and others a bit more obscure. So click on a Gallery to view some of my photographs or click one of the posts and read the associated comments.
From "A" (Avian photography) to "Z" (Zion National Park), you do not have to walk far to take similar photographs. Just take your camera and desire and click away.

WASHINGTON - Ellen Goldberg grew up helping out at her family's two furniture stores, and to her it was a lesson in the drawbacks of being your own boss: the long hours, the sore feet, the lack of vacations, the ceaseless pressure, the threat from encroaching competitors. ("Ever hear of Levitz?" she asks.) Her grandparents had started the business, in suburban Philadelphia, and she was determined not to be part of a third generation. So she got both an MBA from Columbia and a law degree from George Washington University and began a long climb up the world of corporate finance.
She became a vice president at Fannie Mae, working primarily in investor relations, selling the company to the financial markets. But by the time she was approaching 50, corporate life was closing in on her: the shifting priorities of her bosses, the grueling D.C. commute, the time away from her two teen-age daughters. Then, one fall weekend in 2001 while taking her mother for a drive around lovely Loudoun County, Va., to view the autumn leaves, she drove past a once-familiar place. It was the Briar Patch, a bed and breakfast in Middleburg, about an hour from Washington, D.C. She had taken her daughters there when they were young, and now she was flooded with memories of happy, bucolic days running across the grounds and staying in the pre-Civil War main house.
There was a "For Sale" sign at the foot of the property, which consisted of 47 neglected and overgrown acres, a guesthouse in a state of disrepair, a dank swimming pool soupy with algae, and a few decaying farm buildings. She returned home that night and told her husband, Dan Haendel, that she wanted to buy it and turn it into a weekend retreat for her family. Haendel, a lawyer with the Department of Defense, didn't suggest she talk to a psychopharmacologist. As a sideline, the couple had bought and renovated old houses, which they rented out for extra income, so he countered that if they were going to spend that much money, it had to be on a profit-making enterprise. It didn't take Goldberg long to conclude that she needed to leave corporate life and resurrect the Briar Patch as a bed and breakfast. "I'm a people person. The prospect of the hospitality business was exciting, even though I'd never done it before," she says. They bought the property for $1.3 million.
According to Jay Karen, president and CEO of the Professional Association of Innkeepers International, of the approximately 15,000 B&Bs and inns in this country (the terms describe small, usually owner-occupied accommodations), about 95 percent are run by people on second careers.
But this romantic impulse can lead to the unleashing of an inner Basil Fawlty and a second case of burnout. The average B&B owner is in business for seven years, according to the PAII. In part, that's because couples finally do reach the point where they're ready to retire. And in part, it's because the reality can be so grueling. "They do everything themselves. Breakfast, cleaning, marketing," Goldberg says of her fellow hosts. While Goldberg is in the kitchen most weekends and has done her share of toilet scrubbing and sheet-changing, she says she has lasted more than a decade by applying both her business savvy and the lessons from her childhood to her new enterprise.
Once Goldberg, now 60, and her husband purchased the property, they put together a plan to make it habitable. Goldberg was undaunted by tackling what must have looked like a classic money pit. They hired a couple, he a retired D.C. police officer who had moonlighted for them as a handyman, who moved to the property full-time and worked for a year rebuilding the place, from the wiring to the walls. Goldberg continued at Fannie Mae during this process, finally quitting and re-opening the Briar Patch in the spring of 2002. She and Haendel decided he would keep his Pentagon job and help out at the B&B on weekends. "I'm glad Dan has his day job for two reasons," she says. "His income and my sanity."
A few months after the reopening, Goldberg's niece suggested that a friend looking for a wedding venue should hold it at the Briar Patch. It was a success, and Goldberg concluded that in addition to hoping for random guests to show up on weekends for quiche, she should make weddings the bread and butter of her bed and breakfast. For the first few years, the celebrations were held on the lawn or in a tent. But making weddings a year-round enterprise required permanent facilities. So she and her husband decided to transform a 19th-century outbuilding with a dirt floor, last used as a tractor shed, into an event space.
All told, the improvements have cost about $1 million. Today the old tractor shed, now known as the Fox Den, can hold 200 guests. Goldberg proudly points out the reclaimed cherry wood floors, the beamed ceiling, and the two giant Swarovski crystal chandeliers. It's become a destination for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, fundraisers, and business meetings.
Goldberg has no plans for retirement and hopes to run the place for the next decade. She says mastering new skills, from coming up with gluten-free and vegan breakfasts, to learning Internet marketing skills ("which is where it's at for B&Bs," she says), to hosting big events is keeping her mind supple. She recommends that people seeking a second career find something that combines a chance to learn something new with expertise established over a lifetime.

Manhattan, Kansas criminal defense lawyers fight to protect your rights
The criminal defense attorneys at Addair Thuston Chtd. understand that being charged with a crime is a frightening experience. The stress of a criminal investigation and the trauma of an arrest can be overwhelming. A criminal conviction can have a huge impact on many aspects of your life, not the least of which are your liberty, reputation, and livelihood.
If you are facing criminal charges, the most important thing you can do to protect yourself is hire an experienced Kansas criminal defense attorney. Hiring an effective Kansas criminal defense lawyer can mean the difference between a conviction and a clean record.
Don't wait to get help. Early intervention by a skilled criminal defense attorney is your best bet for a favorable outcome. Involvement at the earliest stages gives the attorney the best opportunity to investigate and persuade prosecutors not to charge, or to negotiate a favorable disposition.
At Addair Thurston, Chtd., we limit our practice to criminal defense. We believe that our focus on criminal cases allows us to best serve our clients. Our hardworking attorneys have built an excellent reputation for vigorously safeguarding the rights of our clients.

These materials will provide you with valuable information that can answer many questions you may have about what might happen in your criminal case.
Our commitment to our clients
Keeping our clients fully informed is a top priority at our Kansas criminal defense firm. We have heard too many clients of other attorneys complain that they never knew what was going on in their case. We never want one of our clients to feel that way. We provide each client with the phone number and email address of his or her attorney. We tell our clients to contact us with any question, no matter how small.
Some attorneys avoid frank discussions with their clients. They repeatedly tell a client that they are going to fight for him. Then on the day of a hearing or trial they advise the client to just plead guilty. We won't do that. We believe every client is entitled to the truth 100 percent of the time. Without exception, we provide our clients with an honest assessment of their case. We won't tell you your case looks good if it doesn't. Virtually every client in a criminal case will be faced at some point with the decision of how to proceed. Without an open, honest assessment of the case, no client can make an intelligent decision.
Contact us for an evaluation of your case
If you would like to consult with one of our Manhattan Kansas criminal defense attorneys, briefly describe your case using the Contact Request form to the left, and we will respond promptly. Or you may contact us at:

Not totally sure but that's probably what his fans refer to themselves as. Like the Kiss Army for Kiss fans.

MSIA was formed in 1991 as a marketing driven association. Our main purpose is to increase awareness of snowsports in Michigan (skiing, snowboarding, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, etc.) and introduce new individuals to the sport.
Our efforts are designed to benefit all travel and tourism business in the industry, including ski areas, ski shops, manufacturer's representatives and related businesses.

MSIA keeps abreast of legislative issues that affect our industry and notifies members when action is needed. MSIA retains the respected lobbying firm Muchmore, Harrington Smalley & Associates to represent our interests. Furthermore, MSIA's Executive Director Mickey MacWilliams, sits on numerous Michigan travel and tourism boards and committees, is a registered lobbyist and is your voice regarding snowsports issues. Help us help the industry by donating now!
Discover Michigan Skiing
Since 1991, this popular learn-to-ski program has introduced over 100,000 people to skiing and snowboarding. Working with McDonald's restaurants as our partner, information about Discover Michigan Skiing is printed on over 500,000 McDonald's trayliners and over 750,000 vouchers distributed in the restaurants each year. MSIA also partners with Booth Newspapers to promote the program.
School Ski Days/Cold is Cool Fourth and fifth Grade Passport
In 1998, we began School Ski Days, a program to encourage school field trips to ski areas. Five years ago we added a statewide 4th grade passport program designed to get 4th graders, accompanied by adults, out to the slopes. Last year we added 5th grade. The passport is a coupon book that entitles 4th and 5th graders to ski or snowboard free three times at each participating area. The passport is intended to solidify skiing as a family recreational activity that these kids will take with them for their lifetime. We are proud to say that the program has been very well received and it has generated a great deal of excitement in the industry.
Public Relations
Each season MSIA sends a press kit to reporters, describing the new activities on our slopes and in our shops. Many writers eagerly await our kits each fall, because it makes their jobs much easier. Throughout the season MSIA also sends numerous news releases regarding relevant ski and snowboard issues.
White Gold Card
Our primary source of funding, the White Gold Card is also a great promotional tool, generating countless newspaper and magazine stories, and radio and television interviews. The cards sell for $249 and allows purchasers to ski one time at each of the participating MSIA-member ski areas. Ski shops also agree to provide one free ski tune-up per card. MSIA is limited to selling 400 cards per year.
Weather Blast Kits
One of the chief complaints of our members is the fact that radio and television reporters tend to say negative things about cold weather and snow. They make "cute" remarks about heading south when the weather turns cold. To counteract this, MSIA issues faxes and emails to the broadcast media throughout the winter. Our message is a kind reminder that Michigan is a winter wonderland and should be looked at with a positive attitude. We also send sample faxes to our members, along with a list of fax numbers for radio and television stations across the state. We ask members to pull out a fax and send it each time they hear negative comments on the air about our weather. The effort has really made a difference! Reporters are getting the idea and we have seen a gradual increase in positive weather reporting.
Services to Our Members
MSIA's Website: www.goskimichigan.com

MSIA partners with Travel Michigan to produce a co-op ad campaign to promote snowsports - both in-state and to our surrounding states.
MSIA Annual Conference
The MSIA meets every summer at a member resort for an informational meeting, lunch, golf and a cocktail reception. Besides being an excellent opportunity to get to know others in our industry, it's a chance to make an impact on MSIA decisions.
Direct Mail
MSIA mails packets of ski-related material to everyone who participates in Discover Michigan Skiing. All current MSIA members are invited to include information in this mailing by sending a flyer or brochure to MSIA's mail house. Packets are then stuffed and sent to the approximately 5,000 households of Discover Michigan participants. The best part is that this is a free benefit to all MSIA members! To mail to all these new skiers yourself, the cost of postage alone would be a lot more than the price of your yearly MSIA membership.
We're working hard to promote the sport we all love, but we can't do it without a
strong and active membership. We thank you for becoming an MSIA member
and look forward to working with you in the coming season.

Church planting in Ethiopia has been met with God's favor during the past few years. More than 50 churches have been planted through the Goh Bright Future efforts. These planters are zealous and devoted followers of Jesus who have left everything to share the gospel in some of the most remote places in the country. They commit to living simply so that we are able to make our limited funds stretch as far as possible. Most are far removed from other planters and pastors and do not get to enjoy fellowship or recieve training. Every year, we try to bring all these planters together for at least a week of fellowship, encouragement and practical training. These leaders need and deserve such soul care. This gathering is also a perfect time to commission new church planters who are entering the field for the first time. In order to provide resources, training, travel, lodging, food and meet all other expenses needed for such an event, we estimate a budget of $10,000 is needed.

|Local Government (Finance) Special Grant Report (No. 93) (HC 654) on the Neighbourhood Renewal Fund 2002-03
Mr. Moss: The Minister said that the scheme was not based on short-termism, but that it was for the medium and longer term. However, the renewal fund is there only for next year, after which time it will stop. Is she saying that it will be renewed beyond that date or replaced?
Ms Keeble: As I clearly said, we are talking about pump-priming money to start the process. The neighbourhood renewal strategy and the new deal for communities are long-term schemes; we recognise that long-term, deep-seated structural problems require long-term solutions.
The hon. Member for Mole Valley criticised us for micro-managing local government. That is pretty rich coming from a member of the party that produced rate capping and compulsory competitive tendering, and which used to tell local government how it must package its contract for refuse collection, for example. The Conservative Government did not even trust local government to make such decisions itself. The hon. Gentleman was part of those decisions. It is completely wrong to accuse this Government of trying to micro-manage because the complete opposite is the case. However, we have examined outputs, rather than inputs such as how people decide to let contracts for refuse collection and whatever. We have examined life chances for people in disadvantaged areas. We have said clearly that local authorities and local strategic partnerships must make decisions on how to achieve their ends. People must not be disadvantaged by where they live, and schools, the police and other services must deliver to a minimum level. I explained that the individual service departments are responsible for identifying those ends.
I welcomed the support of the hon. Member for Weston-super-Mare (Brian Cotter) on that point. He is right to identify the importance of the involvement of the local community. The Government identified that at an early stage and we have examined how to ensure that the local community may get involved. That is a factor in several disadvantaged areas, and a defining feature of disadvantage is that there may be several reasons why it is difficult for local people to participate in decision making. We have introduced funding, such as the community empowerment fund, to ensure that that can happen.
Although the hon. Member for Mole Valley said that that meant that councillors could no longer be councillors and that local accountability would be diluted, the involvement of local people in the election of representatives of new bodies has been remarkable. Turnouts have been 60 and 70 per cent., which is well above turnouts for general elections. In several cases, the turnout was double that of local government
Column Number: 23elections. Clearly, people have welcomed the opportunity to participate in making decisions about their areas.
The hon. Member for Weston-super-Mare was also right to identify the need to tackle pockets of disadvantage in otherwise affluent areas. It is important that all areas consider having local strategic partnerships that may focus on such disadvantage and make decisions about it.
The hon. Member for Mole Valley asked what hoops local authorities must go through to get the money. He proceeded to describe them, which related to the accreditation of the local strategic partnership. He is correct that there is guidance on that accreditation. I freely admit to having difficulty with some of the jargon in the guidance, which is not very prescriptive. It tends to enable local authorities to decide the structures that suit their local areas. Different arrangements for local strategic partnerships exist in different areas.
The hon. Gentleman made great play about Camden. I believe that the local authority in Camden had some disquiet about its LSP and I said that I would write to the hon. Gentleman about that. However, Camden has an accredited LSP, and I wonder whether the local authorities in his constituency do, and whether he has been involved with LSPs and has seen the work that they do and the structures that they have. I am sure that there are parts of even his constituency that are more difficult and require extra services.
The hon. Gentleman's difficulty with the concept of the scheme forms part of his difficulty with the way in which decision making and local government have changed. That did not happen to dilute accountability. However, if local authorities are to deliver and provide changes that are needed locally, it is insufficient for them to sit in town halls and make decisions. They must engage with other agencies, which is how they can best deliver. That is, fortunately, a different climate from the way of working that occurred under the Conservative Government.
I also welcome the comments of the hon. Member for Mid-Dorset and North Poole. She was right to talk about the importance of long-term funding, because city challengefor examplehad some good points,
Column Number: 24but it was short term. The single regeneration budget has also had some good qualities, but it is a bolt-on measure.
The hon. Lady asked about a multi-disciplinary approach and a multi-disciplinary fund. Rather than have a bolt-on, multi-disciplinary fund, the idea of this way of working is to get the different agencies together so that they can identify the problems in their area, and work out how to develop the services to tackle them. That means that, instead of diffusing decision making or having different streams of money, one deals with the main streams of money and the mainstream programmes, and one ensures that they tackle disadvantage. That is not rocket science. It should have been happening all along, but that has not been the case. This strategy will deliver that and the point of the grant is that it will pump prime that.
The debate has been helpful and it has provided a chance to set out some of the issues that are facing the country at presentand, in particular, some of the things that we must do to tackle disadvantage. The neighbourhood renewal fundthe report we have been consideringis a substantial addition to mainstream funding. It is targeted on the renewal of our most disadvantaged neighbourhoods. It is a short-term fund, but it will have long-term consequences, because it will kick start, and act as a catalyst for, the redirecting of mainstream funding, to ensure that it equalises the disadvantaged and more advantaged areas, and that the people who live in deprived communities have the same life chances as people in the more affluent areas.
We are at an early stage of what I have repeatedly said will be a long-term strategy, but we believe that it is the right strategy. These funds will be extremely important to the local authorities to which they are destined, because they will play a crucial part in advancing the strategy, and in ensuring that we overcome the divisions that I believe are a real blight on this country. Therefore, I recommend it to the Committee.
Question put and agreed to.

It didn't stop raining during our stay – our plans for a bike ride around the city were thwarted – but armed with our umbrellas, we managed to walk absolutely everywhere.
