(The only person who doesn't like Dan spits at cornermen and says Americans are cocky.)
Since our first offering of Breakfast With a Champion with Strikeforce and K-1 champ Alistair Overeem was such a success, we have set the wheels in motion for subsequent editions of the series, starting with our next one with Strikeforce light heavyweight kingpin Dan Henderson.
Just like last time, we're asking for your input on what questions you want answered as well as any suggestions for future guests for the column. The only criteria be that they be current or retired champions. Again, we ask that you keep your questions for Hendo respectful, but really, how would they not be?
In the meantime, check out these highlights featuring the man himself courtesy of MachineMen for inspiration.

- slide 1 of 3
It's all about life really. Ever since humans walked out of the cave we've had a burning desire to work out what this thing called life is all about. We want to classify, label, characterise and put things neatly on a shelf.
To understand the biochemical processes of life it's often thought that one of the best ways of doing this is to look at a simple organism like a microbe rather than more complex organisms like humans. Plus humans generally don't like to be prodded and poked around.
Microbes are a good subject for this kind of research because they share some of the same properties as complex organisms, such as amino acid biosynthesis, as well as having many unique properties.
But there's problem here in that only 1% of microbes can be cultured in a lab. The solution is metagenomics, an increasingly popular way of extracting the genomes of micro-organisms.
- slide 2 of 3
Microbes are the most successful organisms on the planet and can survive and thrive in a whole range of seemingly inhospitable environments; in deep sea hydrothermal vents for example. They are amazing specialists that have adapted successfully to many ecological niches. So there's a vast array of genes out there that we know nothing about that have created this diversity.
In metagenomics researchers study the DNA of entire communities of microbes.
The first step is to extract the DNA from all the microbes in a particular environmental sample, and that could be millions. The DNA is then cloned and transferred into model microbial organisms in the lab where they can be sequenced or induced to make proteins.
- slide 3 of 3
Transform our understanding
Metagenomics really does have the power to transform our understanding of life on Earth. Communities of microbes are studied because that's where most of the microbial functionality is expressed. By bringing together many disciplines, scientists could work together to understand all the microbial environments on Earth. For example the environment of the human body, or the environment of a fresh water lake or life underground in the soil.

"A Left hand layup, I couldn't do a left hand layup for nothing," Lufkin's Jammarcus Little says. "And now? I can dunk with my left hand."
Even though he was six-foot-four as a sophomore, somehow no one had ever really seen basketball potential in Jammarcus Little.
"Over the summer I grew four inches, I'm 6'8"." Little says. "My coach really took into consideration of my height. He was like do you want to play basketball? I was like cool."
At age 15, Little learned how dribble and shoot.
"It was hard I was tired I didn't know what to do but my body was just breaking down everyday," Little says.
But he kept at it and joined the Lufkin Panthers varsity team. For the first time, he began thinking of his future. Little called AAU Team "Jamodi" coach Chip Cunningham for a shot at some exposure. Chip offered to take Little to a tournament. It became the chance of a lifetime.
"We went to Dallas and had a wonderful three games, signed a letter of intent with McNeese."
Little makes it sound much simpler. The summer tip off in Dallas was his first AAU tournament. Now he will play division one college ball at McNeese State.
"I was laughing I was shocked," Little says. "I mean, I didn't want to cry but I was just so happy it was just so much building in side of me. My family, the only person that's been to college really is my brother. It's a shock to my family."

Oil in Titusville
I was told by one of my aunts that Patrick Abernethy was murdered for the title to his oil well. I never heard this story from my dad & have no idea if it's true. Went to Titusville once. So far I've had little success with PA records. Did much better in NY. Still trying. Thanks for reply.

Rock bands, much like humans, do not usually get weirder as they age. But the exception is the Flaming Lips.
The unpredictable and adventurous Oklahoma City-based rock band, which formed in 1983, let its freak flag flyin March at Austin's South By Southwest.
SBSW is an annual event for The Flaming Lips, who play Monday, July 15 at the Oakdale in Wallingford. It was a challenge for the Lips not to be trumped by such bands as Dave Grohl's Sound City Players, Green Day and Depeche Mode, as well as a number of emerging young bands with considerable buzz.

|The Fairly OddParents!
The ninth season of The Fairly OddParents! consists of 26 half hours, most of them divided into segments of 11 minutes, making it the largest production order for a Fairly OddParents! season ever.[1]The recording for the season began in June 2012[2], and all the episodes were produced in high definition.
The season began on March 23, 2013, with the premiere of "Fairly OddPet". The official run first began on May 4, 2013, with new episodes airing on Saturdays at 9:30 AM. [3] It ended on March 28, 2015 with the airings of "Fairly Old Parent" and "The Fairy Beginning".
This season introduced Sparky, and is the first season to include Poof in the opening sequence - although it's also the first after his birth to have him absent in some episodes.
According to a number or sources, the decision was made to remove Sparky from the show after this season, making it the only one where his character is present, and making Man's Worst Friend his final appearance. The reason for this decision is related to higher-ups making the decision based on his reception from Nick and from fans.

THINK Now! Testimonials
"Thank YOU! The most helpful part of the session for me was hearing again and again how everybody has different preferences yet they are all positive. As an Inquisitive Truth Seeker, it's probably good to have that stressed to me as often as possible. It was also good to "come out" as a Truth Seeker and be reminded that being tactful and waiting for the right time to tell the truth (as I see it) is critical." — Recent participant
"My favorite part was the breakout in groups to discuss each others results from the assessment. It allowed me to hear why others think the way they do and helped me understand the different styles a little better." — Recent participant
CT in Real Life
Researchers at Vanderbilt University found that cognitive ability predicted creativity, including number of patents produced.
Nurse educators with high scores on an assessment of critical thinking dispositions were the most likely to implement research knowledge into their daily practice.
Cognitive ability predicts negative on-the-job actions and outcomes for police officers, such as excessive use of force, racially offensive conduct, number of citizen complaints, and at-fault car accidents.

Garen Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I recently bought garen with the Sanguine skin. I was playing him like I saw others that I have played against... I felt like something was missing. I thought about the moves I had with items available. Then it hit me. Garen is much more potent as a hinderance rather than a killer. I understand that this build is out there... Im not stealing anyone's thunder. I am just showing an alternative way to play a very talented hero.
Summoner Skills:
I chose the Exhaust/Ignite combo for several reasons. They both have multiple uses in tons of situations. Ignite is good for regen tanks (ie Mundo, Singed, and other Garens) not to mention the ability to finish of a low healthed person from afar. Exhaust is good for those pesky melee heros with a superman complex. It also holds em in your inferno.
Item Build:
I chose a very typical set of tank items. Start out with the Ruby Crystal. Then move to your swiftness boots... the extra speed helps with alot of chasing. Then build your warmogs. After that 3x Sunfire. Should a game last past the 3rd sunfire. Your opponents will determine the last item. Force for casters, Thornmail for Melee, and the 4th Sunfire when you are just dominating. at the end you will have a very sexy amount of health. and an inferno when you spin on someone.
Early Game:
Ok grab your Ruby Crystal and head to your lane. Lane with a range... Two melee always get screwed. If you do happen to get melee double. Play defensive. I understand you have regen. but YOU ARE NOT GOD and YOU WILL DIE more often than not. Spin in the groups and kill creeps whenever you can. At half health back off and regen. Garen is amazing at staying in the lane. Utilize it. Anytime you can put a point into spin do it. Silence is good for the casters. Armor is good for melee. Fancy that. thats your Q and W move. So pick the one that applies. At level 6 you will be more deadly.
Mid Game:
Ok now in the mid game it is a superfarm. Gank when asked. But concentrate on the creeps and jungle. You need da dough for the spin. I usually have at least 2 sunfires and warmogs by 14.
Late Game:
Endgame is the fun part. You should be built by 18 solid in 6 items. According to the opponents you will have the special item for the 6th slot. However, you dont need it. You will be a powerhouse at nearly 6k health. Just run in and spin. exhaust the carry and watch em die. If you have an Amumu with you it will be amazing. Noone can run. You can also use galio. Both have the hold em down ultis. You will be the most dominant tank in game i can assure you. And range will ge the only thing that messes with you. Just silence them. And close in.
I hope you guys enjoy this. I have tons of fun with this build. Be prepared for rage quits on the opposite team when you triple kill the squishies with half health remaining lol.
Always remember: THE SPIN ALWAYS WINS

Many companies view migrating to Windows 2000 as an opportunity to restructure their network domains. Domain restructuring is often necessary to better serve an organization's business needs or to reduce administrative overhead, and it usually results in domain consolidation (i.e., reducing the number of domains). Active Directory (AD) helps you perform domain consolidation because of its greater scalability and because AD uses sites to control replication and Organizational Units (OUs) to delegate administration. This week, I'll discuss two domain-restructuring strategies.
Upgrading the Domain, then Restructuring
The first strategy calls for performing an as-is upgrade of your current Windows NT domain environment to AD and approaching restructuring as a second, separate migration phase. Also called an in-place migration, this process entails taking the NT domain model you have in place and upgrading it to its AD forest equivalent. For example, if you have a one-master domain model, you can upgrade your account domain to become the root of your forest, with resource domains as children of the root. If you have a multimaster domain, you can either create a multiple-tree forest or a new root domain and upgrade the account domains as children of the root, resulting in a one-tree forest. For variations of a complete trust domain, your choices are similar to those running multimaster domains: you can create a multiple-tree forest or create a new root domain and upgrade the NT domains as children of the root.
After you complete the migration to AD, you must resolve any post-migration issues before restructuring the domain by performing what is called intra-forest restructuring (because all the domains are within the same Win2K forest). One advantage of upgrading before beginning the restructuring is that you can move your network to Win2K sooner. However, there are several disadvantages to upgrading first. For example, problems such as outdated user and group accounts carry over from your NT environment to AD. Also, when you start consolidating your domains, you'll move users and groups between domains instead of copying them, which means that you can't revert to your previous structure if problems arise.
Restructuring as Part of the Initial Migration
The second domain restructuring strategy, which I recommend, is to restructure your domain as part of your initial migration to Win2K. First, identify your ideal AD design. Next, create your root domain with new hardware to give you a pristine Win2K forest that you can populate with users and groups from your NT 4.0 domain by performing inter-forest restructuring. Your goal is to selectively migrate security principals, leaving unnecessary users and groups behind. With inter-forest restructuring, you copy the users and groups to AD instead of moving them, so you won't delete or change them in the source domain. So, while the process is occurring, you can continue to use your NT domains with little effect. Inter-forest reconstruction requires more upfront planning and takes longer to create a production Wn2K network, but the end result is likely to be more desirable.
More to Come
Performing domain reconstruction and consolidation is beneficial to most organizations and, in some cases, might even be the driving factor behind the migration to Win2K. But, as I'm sure you realize, domain reconstruction and consolidation requires much work and planning. Microsoft provides several tools to help with this process, and I'll examine some of them next week. If you're performing domain consolidation and have specific questions or insights, post them as feedback in response to this column. I'll address your feedback in upcoming articles.

Document Details
Published Document
Indian Health Service, HHS.
The Administration's budget request for fiscal year (FY) 2002 includes $11,923,500 for the Indian Health Service (IHS) Loan Repayment Program (LRP) for health professions educational loans (undergraduate and graduate) in return for full-time clinical service in Indian health programs. It is anticipated that $11,923,500 will be available to support approximately 298 competing awards averaging $40,000 per award.
This program announcement is subject to the appropriation of funds. This notice is being published early to coincide with the recruitment activity of the IHS, which competes with other Government and private health management organizations to employ qualified health professionals. Funds must be expended by September 30 of the fiscal year. This program is authorized by section 108 of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA) as amended, 25 U.S.C. 1601 et seq. The IHS invites potential applicants to request an application for participation in the LRP.
Applications for the FY 2002 LRP will be accepted and evaluated monthly beginning January 18, 2002, and will continue to be accepted each month thereafter until all funds are exhausted. Subsequent monthly deadline dates are scheduled for Friday of the second full week of each month. Notice of awards will be mailed on the last working day of each month.
Applicants selected for participation in the FY 2002 program cycle will be expected to begin their service period no later than September 30, 2002.
Applications shall be considered as meeting the deadline if they are either:
1. Received on or before the deadline date; or
2. Sent on or before the deadline date. (Applicants should request a legibly dated U.S. Postal Service postmark or obtain a legibly dated receipt from a commercial carrier or U.S. Postal Service. Private metered postmarks are not acceptable as proof of timely mailing.)
Applications received after the monthly closing date will be held for consideration in the next monthly funding cycle. Applicants who do not receive funding by September 30, 2002, will be notified in writing.
Form to be Used for Application: Applications must be submitted on the form entitled "Application for the Indian Health Service Loan Repayment Program," identified with the Office of Management and Budget approval number of OMB #0917-0014 (expires 12/31/02).
Application materials may be obtained by calling or writing to the address below. In addition, completed applications should be returned to: IHS Loan Repayment Program, 12300 Twinbrook Parkway—Suite 100, Rockville, Maryland 20852, PH: 301/443-3396 [between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. (EST) Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays].Start Further Info
Please address inquiries to Ms. Jacqueline K. Santiago, Chief, IHS Loan Repayment Program, Twinbrook Metro Plaza—Suite 100, 12300 Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, Maryland 20852, PH: 301/443-3396 [between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (EST) Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays].End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
Section 108 of the IHCIA, as amended by Public Laws 100-713 and 102-573, authorizes the IHS LRP and provides in pertinent part as follows:
The Secretary, acting through the Service, shall establish a program to be known as the Indian Health Service Loan Repayment Program (hereinafter referred to as the "Loan Repayment Program") in order to assure an adequate supply of trained health professionals necessary to maintain accreditation of, and provide health care services to Indians through, Indian health programs.
Section 4(n) of the IHCIA, as amended by the Indian Health Care Improvement Technical Corrections Act of 1996, Pub. L. 104-313, provides that:
"Health Profession" means allopathic medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, geriatric medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, podiatric medicine, nursing, public health nursing, dentistry, psychiatry, osteopathy, optometry, pharmacy, psychology, public health, social work, marriage and family therapy, chiropractic medicine, environmental health and engineering, an allied health profession, or any other health profession.
For the purposes of this program, the term "Indian health program" is defined in section 108(a)(2)(A), as follows:
* * * any health program or facility funded, in whole or in part, by the IHS for the benefit of Indians and administered:
a. directly by the Service;
b. by any Indian tribe or tribal or Indian organization pursuant to a contract under:
(1) The Indian Self-Determination Act: or
(2) Section 23 of the Act of April 30, 1908 (25 U.S.C. 47), popularly known as the Buy Indian Act; or
(3) by an urban Indian organization pursuant to Title V of this act.
Applicants may sign contractual agreements with the Secretary for 2 years. The IHS will repay all, or a portion of the applicant's health profession educational loans (undergraduate and graduate) for tuition expenses and reasonable educational, and living expenses in amounts up to $20,000 per year for each year of contracted service. Payments will be made annually to the participant for the purpose of repaying his/her outstanding health profession educational loans. Payment of health profession education loans will be made to the participant within 120 days, from the date the contract becomes effective.
The Secretary must approve the contract before the disbursement of loan repayments can be made to the participant. Participants will be required to fulfill their contract service agreements through full-time clinical practice at an Indian health program site determined by the Secretary. Loan repayment sites are characterized by physical, cultural, and professional isolation, and have histories of frequent staff turnover. All Indian health program sites are annually prioritized within the Agency by discipline, based on need or vacancy.
All health professions will receive up to $20,000 per year for the length of their contract. Where the amount of the LRP award may result in an increase in Federal income tax liability, the IHS will pay an additional 20 percent of the participant's total loan repayments to the Internal Revenue Service for the increased tax liability.
Pursuant to section 108(b), to be eligible to participant in the LRP, an individual must:
(1) A. Be enrolled:
(i) In a course of study or program in an accredited institution, as determined by the Secretary, within any State and Start Printed Page 59437be scheduled to complete such course of study in the same year such individual applies to participate in such program; or
(ii) In an approved graduate training program in a health profession; or
B. Have a degree in a health profession and a license to practice; and
(2) A. Be eligible for, or hold an appointment as a Commissioned Officer in the Regular or Reserve Corps of the Public Health Service (PHS); or
B. Be eligible for selection for civilian service in the Regular or Reserve Corps of the (PHS); or
C. Meet the professional standards for civil service employment in the IHS; or
D. Be employed in an Indian health program without service obligation; and
(3) Submit to the Secretary an application for a contract to the Loan Repayment Program.
All applicants must sign and submit to the Secretary, a written contract agreeing to accept repayment of educational loans and to serve for the applicable period of obligated service in a priority site as determined by the Secretary, and submit a signed affidavit attesting to the fact that they have been informed of the relative merits of the U.S. PHS Commissioned Corps and the Civil Service as employment options.
Once the applicant is approved for participation in the LRP, the applicant will receive confirmation of his/her loan repayment award and the duty site at which he/she will serve his/her loan repayment obligation.
The IHS has identified the positions in each Indian health program for which there is a need or vacancy and ranked those positions in order of priority by developing discipline-specific prioritized lists of sites. Ranking criteria for these sites include the following:
- Historically critical shortages caused by frequent staff turnover;
- Current unmatched vacancies in a Health Profession Discipline;
- Projected vacancies in a Health Profession Discipline;
- Ensuring that the staffing needs of Indian health programs administered by an Indian Tribe or Tribal or health organization receive consideration on an equal basis with programs that are administered directly by the Service; and
- Giving priority to vacancies in Indian health programs that have a need for health professionals to provide health care services as a result of individuals having breached LRP contracts entered into under this section.
- Consistent with this priority ranking, in determining applications to be approved and contracts to accept, the IHS will give priority to applications made by American Indians and Alaska Natives and to individuals recruited through the efforts of Indian tribes or tribal or Indian organizations.
- Funds appropriated for the LRP in FY 2002 will be distributed among the health professions as follows: allopathic/osteopathic practitioners will receive 27 percent, registered nurses 20 percent, mental health professionals 10 percent, dentists 12 percent, pharmacists 10 percent, optometrists 5 percent, physician assistant/advanced practice nurses 6 percent, podiatrists 4 percent, physical therapists 2 percent, other professions 4 percent. This requirement does not apply if the number of applicants from these groups, respectively, is not sufficient to meet the requirement.
- The IHS will give priority in funding among health professionals to physicians in the following priority specialties: anesthesiology, emergency room medicine, general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology/otorhinolaryngology, psychiatry, radiology and dentistry. Funding for these priority specialities is within the 27 percent established for allopathic/osteopathic practitioners.
Applicants whose applications were complete by September 30, 2001, but did not receive funding and want to complete for the next FY 2002 award cycle will receive a site score equal to either the score calculated for their site in the FY they applied or the new FY site score, whichever is higher.
The following factors are equal in weight when applied, and are applied when all other criteria are equal and a selection must be made between applicants.
One or all of the following factors may be applicable to an applicant, and the applicant who has the most of these factors, all other criteria being equal, would be selected.
- An applicant's length of current employment in the IHS, Tribal, or urban program.
- Availability for service earlier than other applicants (first come, first served); and
- Date the individual's application was received.
Any individual who enters this program and satifactorily completes his or her obligated period of service may apply to extend his/her contract on a year-by-year basis, as determined by the IHS. Participants extending their contracts will receive up to the maximum amount of $20,000 per year plus an additional 20 percent for Federal Withholding. Participants who were awarded loan repayment contracts prior to FY 2000 will be awarded extensions up to the amount of $30,000 a year and 31 percent in tax subsidy if funds are available, and will not exceed the total of the individual's outstanding eligible health profession educational loans.
Any individual who owes an obligation for health professional service to the Federal Government, a State, or other entity is not eligible for the LRP unless the obligation will be completely satisfied before they begin service under this program.
The IHS Area Offices and Service Units are authorized to provide additional funding to make awards to applicants in the LRP, but must be in compliance with any limits in the appropriation and section 108 of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act not to exceed the amount authorized in the IHS appropriation (up to $22,000,000 for FY 2002).
Should an IHS Area Office contribute to the LRP, those funds will be used for only those sites located in that Area. Those sites will retain their relative ranking from the national site-ranking list. For example, the Albuquerque Area Office identifies supplemental monies for dentists. Only the dental positions within the Albuquerque Area will be funded with the supplemental monies consistent with the national ranking and site index within that Area.
Should an IHS Service Unit contribute to the LRP, those funds will be used for only those sites located in that Service Unit. Those sites will retain their relative ranking from the national site-ranking list. For example, Chinle Service Unit identifies supplemental monies for pharmacists. The Chinle Service Unit consists of two facilities, namely the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility and the Tsaile PHS Indian Health Center. The national ranking will be used for the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility (Score = 44) and the Tasile PHS Indian Health Center (Score = 40). With a score of 46, the Tsaile PHS Indian Health Center would receive priority over the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility.
This program is not subject to review under Executive Order 12372.Start Signature
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number is 93.164.

2012 NLDS Preview: Reds vs GiantsOctober 5, 2012
After qualifying for the playoffs in 2010, the Cincinnati Reds and the San Francisco Giants again make the postseason this year after underachieving in 2011.
The Reds, National League Central champions in both 2010 and 2012, look to make a better showing in the postseason this year than two years ago. In 2010, the Reds faced the defending National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Divisional Series. Cincinnati was swept in three games by Philly, including being victims to a no-hitter in game 1 by Roy Halladay. The Reds traveled back to Cincinnati, embarrassed and dejected by a poor showing in their first playoff appearance in 15 years.
The Giants, on the other hand, came away from the NLDS with a series victory over Atlanta in four games. The series was plagued by poor play in the field by both teams. Each game was decided by one run, and it usually came in the final inning for the winning team. In the National League Championship Series, the Giants defeated the heavily favored Phillies in six games to earn their first National League pennant in eight years. The Giants then defeated the Texas Rangers in the World Series to clinch their first title since 1954.
The Reds started the 2012 season as contenders for first place in the National League Central with St. Louis, defending NL Champs. The Cardinals, without Albert Pujols, faded quickly into the season. But the Reds did not look like they had the season under control. At the half-way mark of the season, Pittsburgh had taken control of the division. When 2010 NL MVP Joey Votto went down with a knee injury that required surgery, it seemed as though the Reds' season may be over. However, with Votto out, the Reds went 33-16, including a period in which they won 10 straight games to gain sole possession of first place in the NL Central--and there was no looking back.
At the start of 2012, it looked like the NL West was the Dodgers' division to lose. But when Matt Kemp went down with an injury in June, the team quickly faded and the Giants, despite their many injuries and poor hitting, took over the division.
The Giants have been playing lights out baseball for the past month, winning 22 of their last 33. However, they have not played well against Cincinnati this year, losing four of seven games. The Giants will throw Matt Cain in game one. Cain boasts a 16-5 record, 2.79 ERA, and led the team in strikeouts. Not to mention, Cain has thrown a perfect game this season.
While pitching is definitely the Giants' strong point, batting is probably their weak point. While the team is third in the National League in batting average (.269), they are last in home runs (103). While this may be due to the fact that the Giants play in a left-handed hitter's ballpark, they do play 82 games on the road every year.
The Reds also boast strong pitching, including a bullpen that may be the best in baseball. The Giants' game plan should be to score runs early on the starter, because when the Reds choose to go to the bullpen, led by flame throwing closer Aroldis Chapman, runs will be scarce.
Another strong point for the Reds are their left-handed sluggers Joey Votto and Jay Bruce. They will definitely look to take advantage of the short right-field fence in San Francisco. But a weakness for the Reds is their knack of striking out. The Reds were tied for fifth in the league in strikeouts (1,266). Most of the strikeouts come from center fielder Drew Stubbs (5th in league) and right fielder Jay Bruce (7th).
Prediction: All games in the series will be close, but the Reds will win the first two in San Francisco, led by strong pitching performances by Johnny Cueto, Bronson Arroyo, and the bullpen. The Giants will win game three in Cincinnati, but the Reds will close out the series in game four.

Chapter Fifteen: Raven's Ghyll Summary
Hastings sets a punishing pace as they climb the Fells beside Ravenshead. Keeping it to the left, they climb through the ravine until they reach the water gate to Raven's Ghyll and back entrance to the site of the tournament. Flattened against the cliff, they slide past the falls until they are in the chamber that lies behind them. They continue to climb the narrow path and after thirty minutes of steady climbing, they are looking down on Raven's Ghyll. Hastings provides them both with cloaks and pulls out an oval, gray stone with ruins on it and tells Jack to put it on as well. After a few words in Latin, Hastings vanishes. Jack calls out to him before realizing that they are both invisible. The area is protected by a wizard's barrier, but Hastings recites...

By Matt Yoder, Awful Announcing
For the first time ever, all ten games from the final day of the English Premier League season will be broadcasted live in their entirety. ESPN will have one game while Fox has released the network and online assignments for the other nine. All games have a start time of 10 ET on Sunday May 13th. The wider soccer fandom stateside has gravitated towards the EPL for several reasons - television coverage, quality of play, Americans playing in the league, and the recognizability of players and teams. If you needed any more proof of soccer "making it" in this country, televising all 10 English Premier League games in a single week has to be it.
Televising live games across a variety of networks has been a fashionable trend with the success of the NCAA Tournament on CBS and Turner and the Stanley Cup Playoffs across NBC platforms. However, Fox is taking it to the next level with Survival Sunday. This year's final day is the perfect storm for Fox and ESPN. Not only is the EPL title up for grabs between Manchester City and Manchester United, but possibly two Champions League places are still undecided (depending on Chelsea's result in this year's CL final) as is the final relegation spot.
Below you'll find all the match details and the ranking of all 10 games from 10-1 so you'll know which games are worth keeping an eye on. Here's your Survival Sunday Guide...

Merck's obesity intervention
Merck has externalized its slimming imperative. The company, which announced in October that it was offloading 8,500 employees, announced Dec. 20 that it created a weight-focused subsidiary named HRM Weight Management Services Corp. The weight-loss unit will offer what it describes as "weight management interventions" through tools that include diet, behavior coaching and physical activity.
The new unit is a combination of Merck and The Health Management Resources Corporation, the latter of which will be independent of Merck, even though the new corporation will be a Merck subsidiary.
Fallout from the October layoff announcement has started to surface: Philly.com reported Monday that 152 sales reps are now former employees, having lost their Montgomery County jobs when Merck sold its drug Saphris to Forest.

To everyone that was doubtful about my predictions..... Cuba... Russia..
It did? How do you know there was seismic activity on the asteroid? But how could something which broke off of the asteroid hit Earth 16 hours before the asteroid did?
Also da14 came so close that it caused seismic activity on the asteroid, possibly breaking parts off.
No. The meteor hit while the asteroid was still more than 450,000 km away. Not to mention it came from the wrong direction. The meteor had nothing to do with the asteroid.
I personally think that the Russian meteor was either part of da14, or a trailer, as in smaller asteroids that revolve around the bigger one.

Much closer to home. Right here in our very own Solar System.
So they found a few molecules near Orion, but was this test repeated?
In space? As a percentage? Too small to mention. There's one...there's another. Really. Something like that. There is oxygen in space. Not so you'd notice. Not that you could breathe. Not that would let cheese age. But it's there. I got your joke and fired one back at you.
And also, please fill me on on what percentage oxygen makes up in space?

uring times between Popes, called the "interregnum" or "sede vacante," the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church is the "acting Pope" and performs necessary functions that cannot await the outcome of the next "Papal conclave" or choosing of the next Pope.
With the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI on February 28, 2013, Camerlengo Cardinal Tarcisio Pietro (Peter) Evasio Bertone is performing this function. Cardinal Bertone was born in Romano Canavese, Piedmont, Italy in 1934.

There is much controversy over the third secret, many claiming there were vital portions left out.
The third secret officially revealed says....
The third part of the secret revealed at the Cova da Iria-Fátima, on 13 May 1917.
I write in obedience to you, my God, who command me to do so through his Excellency the Bishop of Leiria and through your Most Holy Mother and mine.
After the two parts which I have already explained, at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God.

Ratzinger made several statements about the Third Secret before he became Pope, so he's probably read the Third Secret in its entirety. (Cardinal Bertone appears to have provided proof that there is another part of the Third Secret, despite all his intentions otherwise.)
And why hasn't Bertone hired a forgerer to write up a fake Secret that has all the characteristics that are suspected by laic people?
(My main source for the Fatima information is Ferrara's The Secret Still Hidden.)

|A leader in the African restaurant category takes a step into the world of franchising….
The idea for the restaurant in Newtown, Johannesburg was inspired by the multicultural suburb of Sophiatown that incorporates history, heritage and culture for all South Africans.
Sophiatown Bar Lounge was started by two brothers, Mzwandile and Ziggy Thabethe, and it is an entrepreneurial success story. It has gone from humble beginnings to the "place to be" for people from all walks of life and it is a celebration of the kind of vibe that still allows one to feel comfortable and relaxed. The restaurant has a modern and contemporary feel but still allows one to feel as if you have touched a part of history. The menu does have distinct South African offerings but caters for all tastes and is a destination for both business and pleasure.
The success of the restaurant is a result of the hand-on approach by the brothers. The striking décor in black and white, combined with the picture murals of the people of Sophiatown, is an image not easily forgotten.

What startx does
In simplest terms the startx command is responsible for launching the X session on your computer. The X session is the underpinnings of the graphical desktop environment, without which the graphical desktop would not run. In less simple terms startx is the frontend for xinit that offers a much easier user interface.
- slide 2 of 4
Basic startx usage
The startx command is most often issued without arguments. It does accept arguments, but generally speaking the defaults are fine. What startx does is look for an .xinitrc file in the users ~/ directory. The .xinitrc file is a configuration file that, above all else, instructs xinit what desktop to start. Of course .xinitrc can do much more than instruct xinit what desktop to run. The .xinitrc file can also instruct xinit on variables for applications, color depth to start, background to load, etc. But the most important bit of information is the desktop. A sample single-line entry for .xinitrc that would load up the KDE desktop would look like:
startkde &
and that's it.
You can start any number of window managers and desktops this way. Here are some .xinitrc entries for some of the more popular window managers or desktops (the .xinitrc entries are in italics):
exec enlightenment &
exec afterstep &
exec gnome-session
- slide 3 of 4
Advanced options
Now with the startx command you can pass some arguments to set certain options to your X session. Say, for instance, you want your X session to start up with a color depth of 16 instead of the default. To do this you would pass the argument "--16" along with the startx command like so: startx -- -depth 16. The use of the "--" indicates the end of client arguments and begins server arguments. This is actually necessary. You can also pass on to X that you are starting a multi-headed session (more than one monitor) with this command: startx -- -layout Multihead.
- slide 4 of 4
Final Thoughts
You may be wondering why would anyone use a text-based log in when simple, user-friendly graphical logins are available. There are a number of reasons this could be necessary. You could hose your X Windows configuration and need to have a text-based log in just to repair the setup. You may be running a server that also has X Windows loaded for administration purposes. There are a lot of reasons and you will want to be ready when the time comes that you need to be able to start an X session from the command line.

Dells of Eau Claire Loop is a 1.2 mile loop trail located near Aniwa, Wisconsin that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking and camping and is best used from May until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
kid friendly
Please note: Dogs are not allowed on the beach or picnic areas
Nice easy hike. Beautiful scenery.
I love this loop. I visit it probably a half dozen times a year. Great views, easy hiking, places to camp, accessible restrooms. Weekends are quite busy by the falls.
Wonderful easy trail.
Absolutely beautiful. Peaceful walk on the south river trail through trees with the river to your left. Great picnicking near the swimming beach. And not too crowded.
Well maintained.
We didn't bring our kids on this vacation, but we will come back with them. I would not hike with a stroller, but the trails are easy enough that you could wear them in a backpack.
Pretty descent campgrounds with a beach at the bend of the Eau Claire River. The old highway separates the campgrounds from the actual park so be cautious, people are usually speeding through. The Wisconsin Glaciation marked the end of the last ice age, roughly 10,000 years ago, at the Dells of the Eau Claire witness, first hand, the scars of those ancient glaciers through the rushing falls and glacial pot holes of these dells. Along the river and throughout its wooded banks you'll find surmountable evidence of this areas geological history. As a teenager my sister, friends, and I used to leap from the tall shoulder of the highest rock cliff of the main falls, plunging into the rushing falls below- VERY STUPID in retrospect but great memories none-the-less. The water is always icy and clear and the rocks great for drying off after a quick swim. Great for all skill levels. Don't forget to bring a camera!
It's a easy trail but never the less. Beautiful. Especially in the fall.

Flammekueche or Tarte flambée is a well-known Alsacian speciality. It is like pizza in that a thin crust of dough is baked in a very hot oven, but its topping is primarily crème fraîche, onions, and bacon. Like many traditional regional dishes there are innumerable ways of preparing it.Preheat oven to 450F. (If using a pizza stone, preheat the oven for at least 30 minutes.)
1 bag Trader Joe's pizza crust
1 medium onion (3 ounces), finely sliced
½ cup crème fraîche, commercial or homemade (see note)
½ cup gruyere, shredded
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
4 pinches nutmeg
3 ounces (about two strips) bacon, cut into matchsticks
- Cook bacon until light brown, stirring constantly. Remove and drain on paper towels, reserving about a TBSP of bacon grease in the pan.
- Add the onion to the pan and cook in bacon grease, stirring, over low heat for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool.
- Combine the crème fraîche, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Add the cooled onion.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper on a 14x16- inch baking sheet and lightly flour the paper. Roll the dough until slightly smaller than the baking sheet. Place it on the sheet. Spread the onion mixture over the dough, leaving a very small margin all the way around, then dot with the bacon.
- Bake for 6 to 8 minutes near the top of the oven.
- Carefully remove pizza from cookie sheet, slide it onto a wooden cutting board or pizza peel, then slide pizza off board and back onto oven rack placed on lowest rung of oven for another 2 to 3 minutes. Tart should be lightly browned & bubbling. Burned/blackened edges are traditional -- if that's what you want, bake for 4 minutes. Serve very hot.

Three suspected militants blew themselves up as police gave chase Saturday in the Pakistani part of disputed Kashmir, authorities said.
No other casualties were reported, but the incident underscored fears that militants are preparing attacks in other areas as retaliation for an army offensive under way in the Afghan border region of South Waziristan. The Pakistani military said Saturday that 14 militants and six soldiers were killed over the last 24 hours as part of that operation.
The three men in Kashmir fled after police acting on a tip raided their hide-out in the Thori area of regional capital Muzaffarabad, according to senior police officer Sardar Ilyas.
Police pursued them and the men detonated explosives on their bodies after being trapped on a mountain, Ilyas said, adding 18 hand grenades, three assault rifles and a pistol had been seized from the hide-out.
Security was tightened around government buildings and other potential targets in the city amid fears of violence, Ilyas said.
Kashmir is disputed between Pakistan and India, who both claim the territory in its entirety. The two nuclear rivals have fought two wars over the region since gaining independence from British rule in 1947.
In northwestern Pakistan, a gas explosion injured one person and damaged a two-story building Saturday in Peshawar. Police initially said it was a bomb but later determined it was an accident.
The conflicting statements reflect the atmosphere of fear that has taken hold in Peshawar, the largest city in the northwest and the main gateway to the al-Qaida and Taliban-infested frontier region. Violence has increased in the area since the army launched the operation in nearby South Waziristan in mid-October. Many militants are believed to have fled the fighting.
Senior officers, including the city's police chief, first said the explosion, which partially destroyed the two-story building, was caused by a bomb.
But Haroon Babar, a senior police officer, said a bomb disposal squad sent to the site found no explosives.
"It seems that a gas pipeline under the wall might have exploded causing the damage," he said.
Pakistan helped nurture a generation of Islamic militants after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979. Following the Soviet withdrawal a decade later, Pakistan helped the Taliban seize control. Many of these militants fled to Pakistan after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan in late 2001.

Book by Sandel Michael J
"Sinopsis" puede pertenecer a otra edición de este libro.
A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice [A] graceful and intelligent new book. -- Carl Elliott "New England Journal of Medicine" (05/17/2007) "The Case against Perfection" by Michael Sandel is a brief, concise, and dazzling argument by one of America's foremost moral and political thinkers that brings you up to speed on the core ethical issues informing current debates about genetic engineering and stem cell research.--Gabriel Gbadamosi "BBC Radio " In this short and provocative treatise, Sandel, who is professor of government at Harvard and a member of the President's Council on Bioethics, takes on the question of why certain kinds of newly available genetic technologies make us uneasy...[his] book reminds us that the proper starting point for bioethics is not, "what should we do?" but rather, "what kind of society do we want?" And "what kind of people are we?"--Faith McLellan"The Scientist" (04/01/2007) In the future, genetic manipulation of embryos is expected to have the potential to go beyond the treatment of diseases to improvements: children who are taller, more athletic, and have higher IQs...In "The Case against Perfection", Michael Sandel argues that the unease many people feel about such manipulations have a basis in reason...This beautifully crafted little book...quickly and clearly lays out the key issues at stake.--Gregory M. Lamb "Christian Science Monitor " [Sandel] makes the compelling case that gentic engineering to gain advantage for ourselves and our children is deeply disempowering, because it turns us away from the communal good, toward self-centered striving.--Anne Harding"The Lancet" (07/28/2007) Given the vast gulf between progressive and conservative thinking, the time is ripe for a philosopher to take on the issues of biotechnology. And in "The Case against Perfection" Harvard's Michael Sandel does just that, attempting to develop a new position on biotechnology, one that, like Sandel himself, is not easily identified as either left or right. A former member of the President's Council on Bioethics, Sandel is uniquely well suited for this task, and to challenge the left to get its bearings on the brave new biology...Sandel poses an important challenge to contemporary progressives who have failed to grasp the importance of the emerging biopolitics.--Jonathan Moreno "Democracy " Sandel's arguments ultimately speak to our gut-level qualms about enhancement; and his aim in fact is to give these qualms a coherent moral basis...His book in the end is more a lyrical plea for reverence and humility than a lawyer's watertight "case against.."..The ethicist Michael Sandel wants us at least to think about the line [between health and enhancement], however imaginary--and to think about where, in a hyper-competitive world, re-engineering our natures will ultimately lead.--Michele Pridmore-Brown"Times Literary Supplement" (04/18/2008) In a highly readable, wise and little book titled "The Case against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering", Michael Sandel argues that parents' quest to create the ideal child reflects a drive for mastery and domination over life.--Douglas Todd"Vancouver Sun" (05/12/2007) [A] graceful and intelligent new book.--Carl Elliott"New England Journal of Medicine" (05/17/2007) Nobody's perfect, and Mr. Sandel's book makes an instructive and engaging case that that nobody should be.--Yuval Levin"New York Sun" (05/16/2007) Anyone who thinks our culture is too competitive and consumer-driven should find that Sandel's diagnosis resonates. He provides not only a warning about the shape of the future, but equally an indictment of--or at least a call to examine--our individual moral lives and our contemporary social values. Those who support the practice of genetic enhancement argue that the technology is not substantially different from other forms of "enhancement" we use to improve our lives and the lives of our children. Sandel agrees, but he does not base his argument on any particular distinction about the means of enhancement; rather he is deeply concerned about the underlying impetus of mastery and dominion.--Debra Greenfield"Bioethics Forum" (08/20/2007) This rather small book presents, in very succinct fashion, many of the arguments against proposals to bioengineer human life. Sandel...argues with care and clarity not only against the more extreme cases such as human cloning, but also against the more modest proposals of gene modification. As the title suggests, the arguments are almost exclusively negative, although Sandel's most interesting and creative suggestion is the idea that such human bioengineering will cause human beings to lose the sense of life as a "gift," and that this will have a serious morally negative effect upon the entire social structure.--P.A. Streveler"Choice" (09/01/2007) An illuminating ethical analysis of stem-cell research concludes this stellar work of public philosophy.--Ray Olson"Booklist" (04/15/2007) For many years I have been ambivalent about reproductive innovations, from surrogate gestation to preimplantation screening for gender selection. After reading Sandel's exceedingly elegant little book, "The Case Against Perfection: Ethics in the Age of Genetic Engineering", I could finally put satisfactory names to core values implicit in my hesitation: acceptance and solidarity. I encountered Sandel's book as a participant in the intellectual discourse about parenting. But the book's greatest value to me was its validation of the commitments of solidarity expressed in my volunteer work on behalf of poor mothers and of acceptance implicit in my determination to mother a child with catastrophic mental illness.--Anita L. Allen"Chronicle of Higher Education" (05/16/2008) Michael Sandel's dive into the sea of genetic engineering provides a great tasty gulp of contemporary ethical controversy. Quickly read, "The Case Against Perfection" is nonetheless dense with challenging quandaries, loaded with moral puzzles and filled with facts. An inveterate highlighter, I underlined half the book.--John F. Kavanaugh"America" (08/13/2007)Reseña del editor:
Breakthroughs in genetics present us with a promise and a predicament. The promise is that we will soon be able to treat and prevent a host of debilitating diseases. The predicament is that our newfound genetic knowledge may enable us to manipulate our nature - to enhance our genetic traits and those of our children. Although most people find at least some forms of genetic engineering disquieting, it is not easy to articulate, why? What is wrong with re-engineering our nature? "The Case against Perfection" explores these and other moral quandaries connected with the quest to perfect ourselves and our children. Michael Sandel argues that the pursuit of perfection is flawed for reasons that go beyond safety and fairness. The drive to enhance human nature through genetic technologies is objectionable because it represents a bid for mastery and dominion that fails to appreciate the gifted character of human powers and achievements. Carrying us beyond familiar terms of political discourse, this book contends that the genetic revolution will change the way philosophers discuss ethics and will force spiritual questions back onto the political agenda. In order to grapple with the ethics of enhancement, we need to confront questions largely lost from view in the modern world. Since these questions verge on theology, modern philosophers and political theorists tend to shrink from them. But our new powers of biotechnology make these questions unavoidable. Addressing them is the task of this book, by one of America's pre-eminent moral and political thinkers.

Harvard College Class of 2013! - 5. 31. 13
Yesterday, on a sunny Thursday morning, sixty-four English concentrators officially became Harvard University alumni. Here in the English Department, we celebrated the accomplishments and impending departure of our students at a lively "At Home." Graduating concentrators came with their families and friends, speaking with faculty, staff, and fellow students about the last four years and their future plans.
We bid farewell and send many thanks to these sixty-four special students, all who shaped the English Department in his or her own way. Within this graduating class, we saw nineteen accomplished critical theses, five of which won a prestigious Hoopes Prize, as well as ten impressive and unique creative theses.
We wish the Class of 2013 much continued success as they move on to a multitude of exciting new pursuits: Yale Law, the Walt Disney Company, Teach for America, and the Washington Post (to mention a few)!
For more stories about the 362nd Harvard commencement, you can see full coverage from the Gazette.
