Bruins trailing Habs 'not the end of the world': Coach
The Boston Bruins aren't ready to sound the alarms.
Trailing 2-1 in their Round 2 playoff series, with Game 4 looming Thursday night at the Bell Centre, the Bruins and Montreal Canadiens both held optional skates at the Habs' practice facilty.
While there is concern about the way the Bruins are playing, coach Claude Julien tried to calm the waters for those ready to jump ship in Beantown.
"We're a group that's confident but we also have guys right now that are frustrated with themselves," Julien said.
"They have to be better. They are going to be better tomorrow. That's the confidence we have in our group. We've got to rely on those guys to come in and play the way they can.
"It's a 2-1 series. It's not the end of the world here. We've just got to battle back. There is no reason to panic."
The Habs were the better team in their 4-2 victory in Game 3. Julien said the Bruins have to bounce back.
"We have to make adjustments," Julien said.

Last week I explained why you need a separate facial lotion in addition to body lotion. That was easy. Now comes the hard part: Buying one. If your drugstore is like mine, there are scores to choose from. I'm here to make the process a little easier for you.
Here are 6 steps for choosing a facial moisturizer:
1. If you have sensitive skin, then look for fragrance-free and oil-free moisturizers, such as Eucerin's Daily Protection with SPF 30 (about $8) or Aveeno's Ultra Calming Facial Lotion with SPF 15 (about $16).
2. If you're prone to acne, then look for moisturizers labeled "non-comedogenic," which means they won't clog pores. Consider Neutrogena's Rapid Defense Acne Clear Facial Lotion (about $7) or Eucerin's Daily Protection with SPF 30 (about $8), the latter which is both fragrance-free and non-comedogenic.
3. For normal to oily skin, choose a non-greasy, water-based moisturizer with silicone-derived ingredients, such as dimethicone. Consider Neutrogena's Rapid Defense Acne Clear Facial Lotion (about $7) or Cetaphil DermaControl Moisturizer SPF 30 (about $15) which has a matte finish to combat shininess.
4. For dry to very dry skin, try heavier oil-based products made with mineral oil, glycerin. or hyaluronic acid. For dry skin, consider Oil of Olay Active Hydrating Cream (about $15) and for very dry skin, try old-fashioned facials creams such as Pond's Dry Skin Cream (about $7), or moisturizing creams made with shea butter or olive oil.
5. Be flexible. Realize that many factors affect your skin, including weather, hormones, medications, and age, so if your moisturizer doesn't seem to be working, consider trying a different one. In fact, you may like a heavier one for the cold weather months, and a lighter gel or silicone-based one for warmer weather.
6. Save your money. You don't have to buy expensive designer facial moisturizers. Whether it's $50 or $15, they'll likely have the same active ingredients. Most over-the-counter facial moisturizers are under $20 and do the job. In fact, one of my most frequently recommended products is Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 30 (about $15). It's in my bathroom drawer at home.
And, remember, always apply facial moisturizer to still-damp skin after cleansing and allow to set for several minutes before applying make-up.
Got any facial moisturizers you like? Please share them with us in the comment section below.

Within the commodity space, perhaps the most bullish fundamentals belong to the Platinum Group Metals (PGMs). Both platinum and palladium have similar industrial and commercial uses as well as demand growth, and both suffer from a less than secure supply. In our June 5 note entitled "Platinum: time to shine," we espoused the bullish case for platinum, based on the potential for supply disruptions stemming from contract renegotiations in South Africa. We recommended a long position with a protective stop at $1.430 (basis July), which unfortunately did not hold in the face of a Fed-inspired selloff in gold that saw the yellow metal fall over $200, and which took the rest of the precious metals down with it. Fortunately, this has presented an opportunity to establish new long positions at more favorable prices.
The situation in South Africa is as perilous as ever. Last week an illegal wildcat strike shut down production at two of Anglo American Platinum's (the world's largest platinum producer) mines in the Rustenburg area. Workers have since returned to the mines; however, the incident is indicative of a heated atmosphere where unexpected labor actions can idle production at any moment.
Meanwhile, the two unions that dominate the mining industry are competing for members and trying to show their relative strength by playing hardball with the mining companies. At this summer's annual labor negotiation's kickoff, both unions made record demands on gold producers, with the NUM asking for as much as a 60% increase in pay and the upstart AMCU demanding that wages be doubled.
The unprecedented demands on gold producers are a clear sign that platinum producers will face similar pressure from unions. South Africa produces 73% of the world's platinum and 36% of the world's palladium. Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe the largest producer of palladium, Russia's Norilsk Nickel, warned earlier this week that without new projects, the persistent deficit in palladium supply will double to 2 million troy ounces by 2020. The most recent Johnson Matthey report revealed that while new supplies of palladium were just 6.5 million ounces in 2012, demand reached 7.6 million ounces – and demand is starting to pick up.
The most important use of the PGMs is in autocatalytic converters, which reduce the pollution in emissions from vehicles. With the economy starting to recover in North America, and the Chinese automobile market now the third-largest consumer of PGMs, demand is only going to rise, since no economically viable alternative to PGM use in autocatalytic converters has yet to be found. Beyond the growth in the absolute number of cars built, it is the move towards stricter emission standards that will drive demand higher. Last year, while Chinese car sales grew only 5.2%, palladium and platinum demand grew 11% and 10%, respectively, due to the implementation of China 4 emission standards.
The final wildcard to the PGMs is investment demand, which has been brisk. Charts 1 and 2 show the inflows into physically-backed ETFs for both metals, and demand for platinum has been particularly strong. It's no wonder investors are flocking to the PGMs, which have outperformed the more traditional precious metals (gold and silver) by a wide margin over the past several months (Chart 3).
The risk remains that another leg lower in the gold market could drag the PGMs down with it; however, at current prices both represent good value and stand out as rare bastions of fundamental strength in an otherwise lackluster market for commodities.

So when does this guy start shipping in his EE colors?
Have 8 need about 10 more.
I think this clone is the best clone they've made out of any line.
I really believe the whole 'clone craze' thing is really burned out in my area.
I found 20/20 of each, they will sell just not as fast as before. I wish they had battle damage and were not fresh from Kamino. I would have bought more but has anyone noticed how loose they are. The joints of the figure is not really tight therefore I will stick with the egg white EE versions. So I am actually getting rid of the ones I have.
I finally scored some Battle Droids they have been very difficult to track.
I too am getting as many AOTC clones as I can. I wish the Battle droids were the EP1 mold. However I like the paint app on this new 2pack. Just wish they didn't include the comnmander droid. I just don't need Droid officers. I want grunts only.
It shrinks?

Liquor warehouse deal disclosure fight rests on high court rulingsBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 28. 2012 9:38PM
CONCORD - Lawyers on both sides of a right-to-know case involving a contract between the state Liquor Commission and an Ohio warehousing company rely on rulings by the state Supreme Court to support their arguments.
Concord Attorney Christopher Carter, representing Law Warehouses of Nashua, maintains that a ruling in the 1997 case of Union Leader Corp. v. New Hampshire Finance Housing Authority suggests that terms of the commission's deal with Exel Inc. must be fully disclosed as a matter of public interest.
Assistant Attorney General Lisa M. English, defending the state Liquor Commission, cited a state Supreme Court ruling in the 2004 case of Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire v. Healthtrust Inc., in which the justices overturned a lower court decision ordering disclosure of a public contract without a closed-door review to evaluate whether certain material could be exempt.
At stake is a contract worth $200 million and the jobs that go along with it.
Law was one of five unsuccessful bidders for a 20-year contract to provide warehouse services to the Liquor Commission, which announced in November it had awarded the contract to Exel Inc. of Westerville, Ohio, a logistics and supply chain firm wholly owned by the German company Deutsche Post DHL.
The Nashua company, which has held the contract since 1997, quickly filed a petition seeking full disclosure of the contract with Exel, along with several related documents its attorneys maintain are part of the contract.
After a Dec. 18 hearing, Merrimack County Superior Court Judge Richard McNamara gave attorneys in the case a deadline of Dec. 27 to file arguments on whether the privacy protections that exist while vendors are negotiating for a contract are forfeited once that contract is signed with a public entity.
The Liquor Commission has released some of the material, but with portions blacked-out, or "redacted." Law Warehouses wants to see all the documents, including the scoring sheets, used to award the contract, to determine if it can be legally challenged.
In their Right-to-Know petition, Law Warehouse attorneys argue that what they have seen in the material released so far raises serious questions about how the Liquor Commission proceeded in awarding the contract. "Based on the limited information in the highly redacted contract documents, it appears that the contract terms and requirements materially deviate from what was required and called for in the request for proposals, and ... the (Liquor Commission) improperly afforded Exel opportunities to materially revise its proposal."
The state and attorneys for Exel argued on Dec. 18 that material in the Exel contract can be legally redacted before public release because of exemptions in the state's Right to Know law for "confidential, commercial or financial information."
Citing the Professional Firefighters case, English wrote, "The court recognized that (the Right to Know law) exemptions apply to contracts with public bodies."
"If the government is required to release a third party's confidential and proprietary information, the release could cause substantial competitive harm to the third party, and could have a chilling effect on the willingness of potential bidders to submit proposals to a governmental entity," she wrote.
She also cited several federal court cases that allowed exemptions for portions of public contracts under the Freedom of Information Act.
Carter argued that the Union Leader case proved that all parts of a public contract must be disclosed because, as the Supreme Court ruled at the time, the public has an overriding interest in large public transactions. The Union Leader and Concord Monitor were seeking documents regarding housing developments financed by the state Housing Finance Authority.
"The 'large transactions' at issue in the Union Leader case concerned two housing developments," Carter wrote. "The 'transaction' at issue in this case is a 20-year contract with approximately $200 million. ... There exists here a similar, if not compelling, interest in disclosing all the terms of this transaction. That interest overrides any interest by either the NHSLC or Exel in nondisclosure."
Arguing on behalf of Exel, Manchester attorney Nicholas Holmes cited several cases in which other states have considered the issue and concluded that portions of a public contract can be exempt from a Right to Know request. He suggested a closed door review or hearing to determine what information can legally be withheld.

(AllHipHop News) Comcast is currently fighting tooth and nail to get approval for its purchase of Time Warner Cable, but another monopoly could be brewing in Hip Hop this summer. Reports that surfaced today suggest that Hip Hop's power couple, Beyonce and Jay Z are rumored to be touring this summer.
After completing individual tours recently, New York Daily News' Page Six reports that sources have informed them that the Carters are planning on a 20 stadium tour this June.

The weather forecast for Legoland California this summer calls for a 100% chance of getting 100% soaking wet.
The new Pirate Reef water attraction opened over Memorial Day weekend at the Carlsbad kiddie park with a pair of life-size Lego pirate ships flanking the splash zone of the classic shoot-the-chutes ride.
For its relatively modest size, the 25-foot-tall attraction built by Florida-based Hopkins Amusement Rides generates a surprisingly enormous splash.
The 15-foot-tall fan-shaped tidal wave delivers a double whammy, with the initial deluge sweeping over the boat like a tsunami only to be followed by a trio of ricocheting blasts that careen off the twin pirate ships and the overhead bridge connecting them onto the boat passengers below.
When I rode Pirate Reef, it felt as if every last drop of the 155,000 gallons of water in the lagoon rose in unison and crashed down upon our collective heads. I couldn't get wetter if I dove into a swimming pool in a rainstorm.
No place is safe. Front row, back row, it doesn't matter. You can't hide. Every last inch of you will get wet. Guaranteed. I've never been on a wetter ride in my life.
I wore one of the $6 plastic ponchos that Legoland sells, but it didn't help much. I clenched up the hood as tight as possible and water still managed to flow down the neck hole, soaking the front and back of my shirt.
Then came the water cannons fired from the decks of the pirate ships, followed by a series of innocent-looking Lego frogs that squirted a continuous fire hose-flow of arching water over the boat. By the time we returned to the dock, it felt as if we'd driven a convertible with the top down through a torrential downpour.
The brilliance of Pirate Reef is that the ride can be accessed from both the Legoland theme park and the separate-admission water park, meaning you can and should ride Pirate Reef in a bathing suit. I don't know about you, but I don't like walking around a theme park soaked to the skin — clothes clinging, shoes squishing, shoulders shivering. It takes all the fun out of the day.
For the theme park visitors who do get soaked, Legoland has stationed $5 body dryers right near the Pirate Reef exit. The walk-in dryers leave you 90% dry and may well be the greatest theme park invention of the past decade.

Jan Block (d. 1569)
Jan (Johan) Block, an Anabaptist martyr, had as a rich young man led a frivolous, pleasure-seeking life. The conversion of one of his former drinking companions made such an impression on him that he also became a believer and joined the Mennonites. When the government heard of this they confiscated all his lands and set a reward of 70 guilders on his seizure. He fled, but returned when he found no refuge anywhere, to support himself by the work of his hands. He was betrayed and in 1569 (not 1572, as van Braght erroneously states) was arrested in Nijmegen. He was held in the city prison for 53 days, and racked three times. During his imprisonment he wrote a letter to his fellow believers, in moving words bidding his friends a last farewell in the hope of a reunion in eternal joy. Before the courts he remained steadfast in his faith, and was therefore sentenced to die at the stake and was executed outside the Molenpoort on 23 July 1569. He endured his martyrdom with the same joyful submission.

Emperor Penguins, Antarctica
From the I Ching by Brian Browne Walker:
"All clans and families must have a superior person at their center if they are to prosper and succeed.
Therefore, in order to improve your family, company, nation or world community,
YOU must begin by improving yourself.
If you observe healthy families you will always see present in them three qualities:
love, faithfulness and correctness.
When we truly love others, we are naturally kind, gentle and patient with them.
When we are faithful to others, we place proper principles and conduct above temporary influences like anger, desire or greed.
When we practice correctness, we spiritually nourish ourselves and all those around us.
When all three qualities are cultivated, a healthy clan springs naturally into place.
The difference between paying lip service to these ideals and practicing them is profound.
If you advocate high ideals and actions to others but do not embody them yourself,
your influence will disintegrate for lack of proper foundation.
Therefore, in order to inspire superior qualities in others, you must first instill them in yourself.
When modesty, acceptance, equanimity and gentleness become deeply ingrained in your character,
they will flow steadily outward from you. and in this there is great good fortune.
Soon you find yourself enmeshed in a web of healthy relationships,
In the very center of each of us there dwells an innocent and divine spirit.
If we allow ourselves to be guided by it in every situation, we can never go wrong."
The I Ching is a wonderful living, breathing oracle, a patient and all-seeing teacher.
With a sincere approach, it will guide you to prosperity, understanding and peace of mind.
🙂 Lee

The various images shown below are the result of digital manipulations of original Monotypes
The original monotypes were scanned and further enhanced digitally, and printed on watercolor paper by an Iris printer.
Contrary to what might be expected from the digital medium, these prints are manually and individually proofed in order to create the best quality prints.
These prints are released as a very limited edition.
In this Mixed Media cycle various media are interwoven in the creative process.
For example, the Iris prints may be further worked on in other media, such as charcoal and pastels, to create a new one of a kind image.

Moving on to the next level.
Just to state that where the term 'hacker' is used I am referring to the real, true meaning. If you dont know I mean by this you are probably at the wrong site. If you dislike the term just put computer enthusiast/security guru! etc. instead of hacker. I have seen numorous debates over the use of 'hacker' and personally I use the term. I dont wish to see this thread become a debate over terminology.
This is the first in a series of hacking theory tutorials/essays I have started to write. Before I post any more I would like to know what people think. Is it pointless? I am interested as it doesent contain any technical information. It is a pet project and this took only a few minutes but wanted to see what kind of reaction it would get before I begin on a longer set of essays.
Hope you enjoy,
Be honest!
Have you ever felt as someone interested in computers that you are stuck on a skill level that you are destined to be stuck at forever. This tutorial addresses that phase when as a newbie you feel you are unable to develop your skill. In other words a how to get past the neophythe stage.
Entering the world of computers can be daunting and scary. It is easy to be mislead by hopes of becoming some kind of Hollywood hacker *that damn film*. Most people begin whether they will admit it or not with these ideas in their heads, not the old skool people now they probably grew up coding in QBasic but thats a different story *long live DOS!*. Now once you get past that awkward childish stage you may find yourself at a site like AntiOnline. Here hopefully if you are a newb you will discover what hacking actually is. It may surprise that security is the direction you were always going in. Once you get the ethics you will find a wealth of information on offer. How to utilize it may be daunting for a newbie but the trip is worth it especially if you a still lost for a career! Of course not everybody enters the world of security through this way, some people grow up surrounded by computers. They spend their youth living, breathing and not sleeping round computers. For those of us who didnt, this is just another obstacle for us to overcome, but it can be done. For those of you born with a keyboard strapped to your hands, all I can say is you got a headstart!
Ok, so now you may be doubtful. All people have doubts when they enter a new field and security is no different. As a newbie in the field, one thing should occupy your mind. How can I make progress and develop myself and my skills. One problem I witness a lot is when a newbie tries to learn something new, say he takes a hand at programming or setting up a server, anything really. Once they hit a problem they may abandon that project in search of a new field. I recommend instead you work as hard as you can at overcoming any problems you come across, as someone intersted in computers you become essentially a problem solver. This will be your dedication, solving problems because you enjoy doing so. For examples of this just check out the boards, people essentially spend time solving problems for both the posters needs but also to develop their own skills.
As you progress and overcome any problems that face you, you will accumulate knowledge. This is what progress is all about. Tasks that once posed problems, no longer do. Why? Well because you solved them! This however takes, time and practice. Theory is good but practice is better. When you feel tasks become less difficult this is when you will feel like progress is being made. If you find that you skip over difficult problems and concepts that once hassled you as a newbie you can hardly claim that you have become better!
A problem with being a neophythe is that you may find yourself stuck in a rut, believing as it were that you are destined to be just average. Those people you see on IRC talking that crazy Unix stuff are just wizards, geniuses, I could never do that! This is a static position so many people find themselves in. A neophythe in order to elevate his talents must dedicate his/her time to developing on to the next stage, natural talent can be capitilised upon to amazing levels! Lets face they aint geniuses ( well some are ) they just work hard and love what they do. Thats why they have such extensive knowledge of their field. In a world where we have such access to education they is no denying that we can be more or less what we want to be (excluding dragons, hobbits and other such makey uppey things!). Is some-one elite because they have access to secret files on security! Bah! Its there for us all to utilize, now wheres that Windows source code well you know what I mean!
Now if you have a problem you cannot overcome it will become a barrier holding you back from your goal ie security guru, programmer etc. It must be overcome for the sake of your development, this can be a problem shared. Work with others who are learning to solve your problem, beneifiting with their knowledge, try solve their problems, benefit them with your knowledge!
Now remember progression does not come with repetition, always look to elevate your skills. Once you have conquered one aspect of your field, move on for fear of being bogged down. Security is a wide field, abandon one corner and who knows who might trespass?
So, as I leave you I hope you find it in you to develop yourself as a security guru. Maybe you will go tackle that problem thats been hindering your development!
Good luck!

My Highlights from Cosmoscow 2014
Aidan Salakhova
Over the course of a career that began in the restrictive environment of the U.S.S.R., self-taught photographer Nikolay Bakharev has amassed a body of black-and-white portraits of everyday people, infused with eroticism both subtle and overt. He shoots bathing suit-clad couples, families, and groups of friends that he finds at the beach, who often invite him into their homes, where he coaxes off their clothes and portrays them in awkwardly elegant, sexually charged poses. He sees these images as records of abandon, as he describes: "From my point of view, I expose the nature which people do not want to admit to, if it does not fit their notions of themselves." Bakharev spends hours with his subjects, arranging them into poses that reflect his own vision of human sexuality—combining tenderness and rawness, openness and opacity, vulgarity and grace.

The Big 4-0. For most, turning 40 inspires something big.
For Danny Brown, it wasn't a sports car, Vegas trip or marathon run. He was inspired to set a different challenge for himself—to bring people together and raise money for worthy causes. And the response was very unexpected…
To celebrate his 40th, Brown and his wife spent a few days at Niagara Falls. Taking a break at a local café, they noticed an elderly woman come in by herself and order ice cream.
Brown wondered about her story.
After he and his wife headed home, Brown couldn't stop thinking about the lonely-looking woman in the café—and regretted not talking with her.

columbia, s.c.
There is no longer a war on hunger in this country.
There is no longer a war on poverty.
There is a war on the hungry.
There is a war on the poor.
It is being waged all over the country with the most recent — and visible — battle coming from Raleigh, N.C., and the now-viral incident with the Rev. Hugh Hollowell's Love Wins ministries.
It's ironic, really.
Conservatives love to tell folks that the best way to end poverty, homelessness, and need in our country is through the work and generosity of private individuals and private donations, not through government programs.
The answer, they say, is charity.
Yet in a stroke of cruel hypocrisy, when charities actually address these issues in real life, they aren't commended for their work.
Rather, they are threatened with arrest.

Iran and the United States Must Cooperate — Now — Against Advancing Islamic Militants in Iraq, Says Baylor University Expert on Religious WarsJune 17, 2014
Follow us on Twitter:@BaylorUMediaCom
Philip Jenkins is available for interviews about religious conflicts and the history of religion. To make arrangements, contact Terry Goodrich, assistant director of Baylor Media Communications, at 254-710-3321 or email@example.com.
WACO, Texas (June 17, 2014) — Secretary of State John Kerry's "no hurry" approach to United States-Iranian cooperation to combat advancing Islamic militants in Iraq is a "sensible, diplomatic one" – and the wrong one, says a Baylor University expert on religious wars.
"Intervention must be in place very soon, as in this week," says Philip Jenkins, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of History in Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion, who frequently authors op-ed pieces in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and New Republic. He noted that the "the only power in the (Middle East) neighborhood with the ability to stop the advance of ISIS (the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) — and mass murder across Iraq — is Iran.
"ISIS draws its support entirely from the Sunni Arab minority, perhaps a fifth of the total population, and it could only rule larger ethnic groups through vicious terror and forced depopulation. It is an intolerable prospect."
Jenkins said that Iran is "an experienced military power with a deep commitment to the present Iraqi regime, and an intimate cultural bond with the nation's large Shia majority . . . Iran is optimally placed to fight ISIS and to protect threatened Shia populations.
"Considerations of brotherhood apart, the last thing the Iranians want to see is the arrival of millions of Shia Iraqi refugees on their territory. Already, Iran has sent some thousands of soldiers to help the Baghdad regime, but much more is needed to achieve any lasting effect."
Iran would benefit immensely from U.S. support, especially air support," he said.
He said he would be "extremely surprised" if U.S.-Iranian cooperation is not already in place, and "it will become more obvious in the coming weeks."
He predicted that major military supplies will reach Iran very soon through middlemen contractors not overtly tied to the U.S.
In the Iran-U.S. hostage crisis from 1979 to 1981, 66 American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days, but today Iran is "our enemy's enemy," and U.S.-Iran cooperation is "necessary. It's essential," Jenkins said.
"The problem is that it may well not be legal, given the network of restrictions and sanctions that the West has imposed upon Iran. Saving Iraq might be possible, but politically, it is very risky indeed."
Kerry told Yahoo! News that Washington was open to discussions with Iran and that he would "not rule out anything might be constructive." But he said contacts with Iran would be "step by step."
Former deputy CIA director Mike Morell, meanwhile, has said that partnering with the Iranians would not be in the best interests of the United States.
Jenkins further discusses the latest Iraqi crisis in a column in Aleteia: "Our Secret Alliance With Iran."
Jenkins is co-director of the Program on Historical Studies of Religion at Baylor's Institute for Studies of Religion. He is the author of frequent op-ed pieces to major publications and of the book "The Great and Holy War: How World War I Became a Religious Crusade."
Baylor University is a private Christian university and a nationally ranked research institution, characterized as having "high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The university provides a vibrant campus community for approximately 15,000 students by blending interdisciplinary research with an international reputation for educational excellence and a faculty commitment to teaching and scholarship. Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas through the efforts of Baptist pioneers, Baylor is the oldest continually operating university in Texas. Located in Waco, Baylor welcomes students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries to study a broad range of degrees among its 11 nationally recognized academic divisions. Baylor sponsors 19 varsity athletic teams and is a founding member of the Big 12 Conference.
Launched in August 2004, the Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion (ISR) exists to initiate, support and conduct research on religion, involving scholars and projects spanning the intellectual spectrum: history, psychology, sociology, economics, anthropology, political science, epidemiology, theology and religious studies. The institute's mandate extends to all religions, everywhere, and throughout history, and embraces the study of religious effects on prosocial behavior, family life, population health, economic development and social conflict. While always striving for appropriate scientific objectivity, ISR scholars treat religion with the respect that sacred matters require and deserve.

March 26, 1982
To: School Deans, Department Chairs,
Administrative Heads
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: The Freeze - Fiscal Crisis
The freeze imposed by the Governor in Executive Order B97-82 is part of an effort by the State to meet an unprecedented fiscal crisis. Some have asked what the State plans to do with the money saved by the freeze: the plain truth is that the State is in danger of running out of funds before running out of fiscal year. The deepening recession has meant that State revenues have been far less than the budget builders anticipated a year ago. Were we not now to curtail expenditures, the State might not be able to meet its payroll (including the payroll of California State University campuses) in June.
To date, we have not been able to obtain detailed guidelines to implement the freeze. However, we have discussed the Management Memos we have received and have described the major negative impact some aspects of the freeze could have on this University with the Department of Finance, the Office of Procurement, the Office of the Chancellor, and others.
Because it is inconceivable that the Governor intends the freeze to result in closing the University, I have concluded, after detailed discussions with Vice President Burns, Interim Vice President Evans, and Dean Martin, that pending further guidelines that might be issued by the Office of the Chancellor, the following expenditures will be permitted:
1. Postage. When the meters are empty, it is unlikely that we will be able to refill them. Top priority will continue to be placed on mailings coming out of the Office of Admissions and the Office of Financial Aids: that is, the mailings required to ensure that new students are admitted for Fall, 1982. Beginning Friday, March 26, other mail will be processed through our meters if it is essential business of the University. This is not a return to business as usual, however, and while the decision as to whether or not a particular letter is essential will be left to the sender, we will monitor postage expenditures closely by area. If voluntary restraint is not sufficient, we may have to ask that deans and division heads approve outgoing mail, but that will not be required now.
2. Travel. Our campus' share of the additional 10 percent "deallocation" of travel funds has been determined and appropriate reductions made. We may resume the use of remaining travel funds. Travel accounts not be augmented by money from other State funding lines. If, as we have reason to hope, the Special Funds are released soon, these may be used -- in accordance with existing guidelines -- for travel. (E.G. travel is frequently appropriate in connection with Continuing Education, and although the Continuing Education Revenue Fund is presently frozen, we anticipate that it will be released soon.)
3. Those areas reporting to the Academic Vice President and
under his general supervision may, through the appropriate Dean:
a) Purchase instructional supplies essential for the continuation of the instructional program;
b) Purchase supplies necessary to keep instructional equipment functioning;
4. Those areas reporting to the Executive Vice President and
under his general supervision may, through the appropriate Division
a) Purchase supplies which are necessary to maintain essential University functions;
b) Purchase supplies necessary to maintain essential equipment;
c) Purchase supplies required to make necessary repairs.
5. Those areas reporting to the Dean of Student Services may,
with the approval of that Dean:
a) Purchase supplies which are essential for the continuation of necessary student services;
b) Purchase supplies necessary to keep equipment functioning.
Purchases in all areas should be limited to quantities required to keep us operating through this fiscal year only. Under no circumstances should the provisions of this memorandum be interpreted as permission to stockpile for a period extending beyond June 30, 1982.
As specified in the Governor's Executive Order and in Management Memos 82-5, 82-6, 82-7, and 82-8, the purchase of office supplies, equipment, office furniture, and the issuance of new contracts is still prohibited.
Questions relating to this memorandum should be addressed to Interim Associate Academic Vice President Robinson or to Associate Executive Vice President Guttormsen.
I regret the necessity for the freeze, but I am certain that, with your help, we will survive the next three months and still meet our payroll.
Chancellor Dumke
Academic Vice President Burns Executive Vice President Evans
Associate Academic Vice President Robinson
Associate Executive Vice President Guttormsen
Dean, Student Services Martin Chairman, Academic Senate McNeil

The evening starts with a live DJ playing the greatest hits of the last 50 years, (that sounds pretty general, but think about it. You could hear The Beatles AND MC Hammer. Sweet.) Next, it's Q Comedy, a comedy showcase featuring some of Albuquerque's finest comedians, hosted by Goldie Garcia. Then they'll turn the music back up for more dancing.

Circus goers will have the chance this Saturday to attend the Kelly Miller Circus – for two shows: 2 and 5:30 p.m. – at the Body of Christ Outreach Ministries Event Center, Wheaton.
WHEATON — Circus goers will have the chance this Saturday to attend the Kelly Miller Circus – for two shows: 2 and 5:30 p.m. – at the Body of Christ Outreach Ministries Event Center, Wheaton.
Advance tickets are $10 for adults and children under 12 are $6. On Saturday, the prices are $15 for adults and children under 12, $7.
A percentage of the proceeds will go to church activities and missions.
"We are working as a fundraiser for Body of Christ Outreach Ministries in Wheaton, it helps them with all of their good activities in the community," said Jim Royal, general manager with Kelly Miller Circus, based out of Hugo, Okla. "This year, is quite exciting for us we are celebrating our 75th anniversary, 75 years of touring America and entertaining the citizens."
There will be a lot to see during the circus.
"They will see a traditional circus in a big top, which we think is the best way to see it," he said. "The tent was designed specifically to house a circus. They will see everything that you would expect in a circus, we are complete in every way. We have the full complement of acrobats, clowns and animals. This year, we have three very entertaining elephants with us, six tigers that perform, four zebras and two camels, two llamas, some pigmy goats that are also performers and a mixture of dogs."
With it being the circus's 75th anniversary, Royal said there will be national acts.
"We think we have a terrific cast of national artists this year including Girard Portugal, who balances on a trapeze on his head upside down, he does all sorts of things up there," he noted.
Prior to and right after each of the shows, the midway will be open for participants to ride elephants, camels, play games and eat food.
Also on Saturday, the tent will be raised and people can come out to see that as well.
"We do use the elephants to raise the tent, we shoot for a 9 a.m. tent raising," said Royal. "Yes, we understand that we are the last ones still raising the tent with an elephant."

Disappointed by several aspects. Fridge in the utility clearly broken and needed replacing. I was impressed that this was done just two days after we spoke to the agents. Complete lack of fans. Three in the Villa when we arrived, two of which were broken. No integral ceiling fans or air conditioning and therefore fans an essential. The downstairs of this villa needs updating. We also had a few too many cockroaches for company. The pool and the location of this Villa are amazing and also the beautiful garden. Just a little more work on the house and it would be incredible.
La Mezquida is a lovely traditional villa in a great location within easy walking distance (10-15 minutes) of Javea Port and the La Grava Beach as well as the charming old town. The house is divided into two separate parts, upstairs and downstairs, so it's ideal for sharing families. Facilities are adequate inside and the garden and pool area are lovely and well maintained.
Had a fantastic time staying in this villa even though we had hired cars everything was in walking distance. The villa was in a very quiet location but just a short stroll to lots of very nice bars and Restaurants. I would definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking for a nice relaxing holiday.
Nous recommandons cette villa qui est parfaite pour une famille et des amis

Die Strandbars sind Klasse bis spät in die Nacht.Abends sehr romantisch.(wenn gewünscht)
Javea is an authentic fishing town located at the Costa Blanca on the most easterly point of the Iberian peninsula of Spain. Centrally located 100 km from Valencia (due north) and 90 km from Alicante (due south), Javea is an easy hours drive by car from these historical cities and their airports. The island of Ibiza is a ferry trip away from Denia, another unique coastal town only a short drive through the picturesque mountains. The mountains surrounding this area and the dramatic cliffs along the coastline provide stunning natural beauty, and an ideal place to live or spend the holiday with the variety of residential areas offering many luxury holiday homes, villas and apartments.
Javea - Costa Blanca - Spain
Apart from the unique location and her typically Spanish charm, Javea is a village on the Costa Blanca that wants to stay a village thanks to the municipal policy. No high buildings, no mass tourism, but pure authenticity. In short, Javea is the place where people live and spend their holidays, who like privacy but also the conviviality and wants to avoid the crowds.
General information about Javea
The history of Javea (Jávea in Castilian), or Xabia (in Valencian), dates back many centuries. The first evidence of human inhabitation of the area is 16,000 years old, found as wall paintings in the caves of the impressive mountain Montgó.
Javea is divided into three different areas: the old town ( El Pueblo ), the port ( El Puerto ) and El Arenal, the area around the sandy beach of Javea, where you can also find most of our holiday apartments. The old town hasn´t changed much over the last centuries and has retained some traditionally built houses, around the typical Spanish squares.
The port was built in 1871 with the main trade being raisins. After this trade was no longer in demand, the once large harbour diminished to a small fishing harbour. Later on, thanks to the increasing tourism, the port expanded with a marina suitable for yachts and powerboats. The Arenal is the commercial and tourist part of Javea. Here you can also find many restaurants, pleasant bars and a few discotheques which stay open till late.
Beaches of Javea
The beautiful beaches along the 25 km coastline of Javea are mainly gravel and rocky beaches. La Grava and Cala Blanca beaches are excellent for water sports such as jet skiing, windsurfing and canoeing. The small bays Portitxol and Tang with gravel beaches are perfect for diving or snorkeling.
The Arenal is the sandy beach of Javea and as well as the bars and restaurants mentioned above, there are also other facilities like playgrounds for children, volleyball nets and also jet skis and boats for hire. Other beaches along the coastline of Javea include: El Pope, Ambolo, La Granadella, Muntanyar and Cala la Sardina.
Things to see in Javea
Javea has many beautiful places with stunning views and interesting sights, some of these worth a visit include the two churches: Iglesia de San Bartoleme, built in the 12th century and an example of late gothic architecture. Santa Maria de Loreto was built in 1967 with a very unusual design. The ceiling of this church is shaped as a ships hull, and is dedicated to the patron saint of the fishermen of Javea, The Holy Virgin of Loreto. Soler Blasco, the archaeological museum in the old town of Javea, offers a wealth of information about the areas and Iberian history.
Things to do in Javea
There are several amusement parks not far from Jvea, like Terra Mitica , the first real theme park in the Costa Blanca Spain. This amusement park is divided into five areas, five lost civilisations of the Medieval en the main rides take you back to the myths and legends of these ancient cultures. Aqualandia on the other hand is a huge water park where children of every age can have an incredible day in many swimming pools with springboards, rapids, waterfalls and slides. To visit beautiful exotic en marine animals and several shows and other attractions you can visit Safari Park Vergel or animal park Mundomar.

NIH Funds BC Study of HIV-Nerve Damage Link
bc biologist probes disorder that afflicts 7 in 10 with HIV
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. (February 2013) — Boston College biologist Tricia Burdo has been awarded a five-year, $1.9 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the role of the body's immune response in a debilitating form of nerve damage suffered by people living with HIV.
Among HIV patients, as many as 69.4 percent are afflicted with peripheral neuropathy of the arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers and toes. The most common neurological disorder associated with people living with HIV, it is known as "dying back", a painful condition where sensory nerves die and then retreat, causing a loss of sensitivity and function.
Burdo, an associate research professor and lead researcher in the lab of Biology Professor Ken Williams, said the group has been exploring the connection between peripheral neuropathy and inflammation in the dorsal root ganglia located outside of the spine. The focal point is macrophage activation, the disruptive activity of cells associated with the body's immunological response to infection.
The presence and behavior of those cells could help to determine what triggers peripheral neuropathy in HIV patients, Burdo said.
""We're studying what's going on in dorsal root ganglia in terms of inflammation by macrophage activation and correlating that to this nerve loss," said Burdo.
Central to the study, funded by the NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), is the molecule CD163, identified by Burdo and Williams as a biological marker for the activation of macrophages and monocytes in patients with HIV.
Burdo said the team hopes to develop a clearer understanding of the progression of peripheral neuropathy, how to pinpoint early and advanced stages of neuropathy with biomarkers, and potential drug therapies that could stop or slow the disease.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, has met with Pope Benedict XVI to thank him for supporting the recent U.N. resolution recognizing a Palestinian state.
Abbas chatted privately with Benedict for 25 minutes Monday and then met with the Vatican's top diplomats. Abbas gave Benedict a mosaic of the church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, with the inscription saying it was presented by the "President of the state of Palestine."
The Vatican said the discussions referred to the Nov. 29 U.N. vote upgrading the Palestinians to the same status as the Holy See: nonmember state observer. The Vatican had warmly welcomed the vote, and a Vatican statement said "it is hoped that this initiative will encourage the commitment of the international community to finding a fair and lasting solution" to the conflict.

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—Both dances submitted by the Western Michigan University Department of Dance were selected by three professional adjudicators for performance at the Gala Concert at the American College Dance Festival Association East-Central Conference held this year at Ohio University, March 2-5.
This is the second year in a row that WMU has had both dances submitted for adjudication selected for this highly competitive honor. Both dances were seen by Kalamazoo audiences in the department's Winter Gala Dance Concert at the end of January.
Twenty-five schools had work adjudicated by blind peer review; the adjudicators knew only the title of the dance, the premiere date and the title of the music. Eleven of 45 adjudicated dances were selected for the Gala program from nine different schools from Maryland, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Associate Professor Carolyn Pavlik's "It Takes Two," performed by 10 WMU dance majors, and WMU senior dance major Connor Cornelius' "My Hyphen," a duet performed by Cornelius of Oak Park, Ill., and WMU junior dance major Alex Hlavaty of Center Line, Mich., were featured on the Gala Concert program the evening of Wednesday, March 5, to close the festival. Assistant Professor Whitney Moncrief served as rehearsal director for "My Hyphen," and Assistant Professor Megan Slayter served as technical coordinator and lighting designer for both dances; sophomore dance major Raeann Burkey of Kalamazoo created the original lighting design for "My Hyphen."
'My Hyphen'
Adjudicators described "My Hyphen" as "clever, witty, [and] ingenious" and as "dance theatre at its best." They also noted the impactful imagery of the piece and the expressive quality of the two dancers, commenting that "the dancers demonstrated clear technique, but…the dance went beyond the technique."
"My Hyphen" was one of only four works choreographed by undergraduate students selected for the Gala Concert.
'It Takes Two"
In "It Takes Two," the adjudicators admired the technique of the 10 dancers as well as the joy and conviction with which they performed. Highlighting the "clever groupings and gestural phrases," the adjudicators appreciated the thoughtful choreographic choices made in the work concerning design of the space, transitions between phrases and movement to and from the stage.

Quilting Makes the Quilt" only with very dark fabrics!
I've been needing more samples for classes and guess where the videos will go???
But before I run off spoiling all the surprises I'm planning for the 1 year celebration sale, lets talk about the applique flowers within each block of this sampler quilt:
All of the shapes are being secured to the blocks with Steam-a-Seam 2 lite. This lightweight fusible web lightly sticks to fabric, allowing me to place each piece and fiddle with the layout even when the quilt is up on my design wall.
Once all the pieces are placed, it's a very easy process of pressing them down with a hot iron, then turning on the steam and giving it a last blast before everything gets fused permanently in place.
I love Steam-a-Seam 2 Lite because it's one of the most lightweight AND easy to use fusible webbing available.
Here are the directions on how to use it:
- Trace appliqué design in reverse on one paper side (one side is designed to come away easier than the other. Trace on the side that stays on the fusible.
- Stick the sheet of steam-a-seam 2 lite to the wrong side of your material, pressing for 2-5 seconds with a hot, dry iron.
- Cut out fabric and fusible together along the traced line.
- Peel off the remaining paper and position the applique on your project.
- Press for 10-20 seconds with steam on the cotton setting. Increase fusing for lower heat. Reheat if necessary.
When fusing the flowers on my heart flower quilt, I first fused from the top, then flipped the whole quilt over and pressed it again from the back.
This ensures all the shapes will stay perfectly in place while I machine applique them down.
Now I'm off to go add the borders and start appliqueing these pretty flowers! If you'd like to learn more about Steam a Seam 2 Lite, please click here for more information.
Let's go quilt!

Occupy UC Davis: Whose University?
Freshman Ian Lee had an intense first quarter at the University of California, Davis, when he joined campus protests against tuition hikes. At a peaceful sit-down demonstration to protect the UC Davis Occupy encampment, Lee and other students were pepper-sprayed at close range by campus police.
A video of the event got national attention. But Lee says "The Occupy movement isn't about me, or the others who got sprayed … It's about coming together to fight austerity."
Occupy UC Davis protesters demonstrated that solidarity when their friends were pepper-sprayed. "Whose university?" they asked, "Our university!" They used the "human mic" to convince police to leave the area.
In the following days, the students demanded accountability from the police, regents, and Chancellor Linda Katehi. They displayed moral authority in their use of nonviolence throughout, and moved forward the national discussion about police use of force and the rights of protesters.
Introducing the movement that's shifting our vision of what kind of world is possible—from the new book, "This Changes Everything: Occupy Wall Street and the 99% Movement."

On Wednesday, additional Facebook stock became eligible for sale for the first time. It follows the expiration of similar lock-up periods in August and October. Other shares will become eligible for sale in the coming months.
Up to 1.56 billion more shares could flood the stock market — nearly four times the 421 million shares that had been trading since Facebook's initial public offering in May. The 1.56 billion figure includes shares released from lock-up already.
On Aug. 16, a lock-up period expired for 271 million shares held by early investors and directors who had participated in the IPO, though CEO Mark Zuckerberg was excluded for unspecified reasons.
On Oct. 29, the lock-up ended for 234 million shares and stock options held by employees as of Oct. 15, excluding Zuckerberg. Oct. 31 was the first trading day since then because of stock market closures resulting from Superstorm Sandy.
On Wednesday, another 852 million shares and stock options became eligible. Zuckerberg had been eligible to sell his shares at this date, but Facebook has changed that given that the CEO had no plans to do so until at least next September.
Here's the schedule for remaining lock-up expirations, as reported by Facebook Inc. in regulatory filings:
— Dec. 14: 156 million shares held by early investors and others who participated in IPO, except Zuckerberg.
— May 18, 2013: 47 million shares held by the Russian Internet company Mail.ru Group and DST Global, both of which made early investments in Facebook.
