UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- "Challenge Yourself: Judy Chicago's Studio Art Pedagogy," an exhibition, is on display from March 24 to June 13 in The Eberly Family Special Collections Library, 104 Paterno Library. The exhibit is one of many activities at Penn State, during spring 2014, to celebrate Chicago and her work and can be viewed online.
In 2011, artist, author and educator Judy Chicago gave Penn State University Libraries the Judy Chicago Art Education Collection, one of the most important private collections of feminist art education. The collection includes textual, photographic, graphic and audiovisual materials related to various art education projects and instruction of Chicago as well as her extensive journal writing about her teaching. It began in the early 1970s, when after a decade of professional art practice, Chicago began a program for women at the California State College, in Fresno — a pedagogical approach to art education that expanded and continues.
University Archivist Jackie Esposito wrote, "Art is tactile; archives are contextual. For each moment that art touches the human soul, an archive offers a visual, written or audio reflection of that event to provide visceral documentation for the ages. Art transcends time; archives capture the moments that resonate within human experience and preserve them for eternity. Judy Chicago's archival collection allows the researcher to connect her art with her need to instruct the viewer over a transom of ideas, ideologies, concepts, theories and emotions, so that when the viewer walks away from the work, he or she is changed forever."
The exhibition is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and from 1 to 5 p.m. during the spring semester.
The Judy Chicago events are sponsored at Penn State by the Friends of the Palmer Museum of Art, the School of Visual Arts, the Institute for the Arts and Humanities, the Office of Research in the College of Arts and Architecture, The Eberly Family Special Collections Library in the University Libraries, the HUB-Robeson Galleries, the Women's Studies Program, the Sexuality and Gender Studies Minor, the Women's Studies Graduate Organization and the Department of Art History, as well as Through the Flower and the National Art Education Association Women's Caucus.
For more information or if you anticipate needing accessibility accommodations or have questions about the physical access provided, contact Jackie Esposito at email@example.com or 814-863-3791.

In every set there are several cards with an ability that modifies the A and/or D values of a character die (e.g. +1A and +1D). Frequently, questions arise during game play on the application of these modifiers such as "how do I know when the modifier is either active or removed?"
There are two types of A/D value modifiers: static and applied. This article explains the various ways to identify which type of modifier is being applied and some methods on how to remember each one.
Static Modifiers
When a modifier is applied to a recipient character die from a specific source, it is called a static modifier. Note: sometimes these are also called Continuous modifiers. Either way, the two terms are synonymous. For this type of modifier, the bonus or penalty remains on the recipient character die until the source - i.e. the die, ability or dependent game state - is removed from play or no longer in effect. A static modifier can be determined
This edition of Inside the Game looks at those Modern format cards whose abilities force an opponent to reroll their dice or preventing an opponent from rerolling.
This control aspect of the game can be very disruptive to your opponent. Its also a die removal tactic that is often overlook because of other more direct abilities. An additional benefit is that some of these reroll effects are non-targeting die removal. But there is also the risk of improving your opponents position (e.g. a character die lands on a higher level or a face with a burst symbol).
Each card's pros and cons will be listed so as to help you decide what you want to include in your team build.
Average purchase cost
Decent A values, so your opponent must think twice before not blocking Black Cat to avoid potentially removing their blocker

Howdy Browncoat Dice-chuckers,
In the printing process, it was determined 3 custom 54-card playing card decks would get the job done, however the set is a bit short of the 162 card total. I had a Firefly Team Pack in the works, but in order to prevent doubles, I have filled out the set with the following OP kit:
Top Prize-
I couldn't narrow down the Team Pack entries for two of the characters, Mal and Rance Burgess so here are all six:

Hello everyone,
As you can probably tell, I'm not a very regular blogger. I've done most of my team discussions on TRP's "What Have You Played" thread. There's good, bad, and weird teams, shared by multiple players. If you're curious, you can check that thread here: http://www.thereservepool.com/thread...d-2017-Edition
This one today, though, requires a deeper delve into team-building. This is the team I built for the Virtual Worlds Tournament, Part Deux. It served me very, very well. There's lots to explain here, and lots to learn.
The core I built from was as follows:
The way the combo works: Rocket Raccoon deals 1 damage to each player. Cosmic Cube increases the damage to 3. Vicious Struggle triggers to damage my opponent. Cosmic Cube increases Vicious Struggle's damage to 5.

(Mistake: Mentioned Jourdo had Boom Boom in his team, but he had Firefly.)
Here we are - a year later, and what a year it has been for Dice Masters. It's time for an updated Wish List for Santa of the 12 cards I'd like to see next year. But before I get to this year's list, let me recap the wishes from 2016 that the Elves worked (at least in part) to fulfill (spoiler - it was a 'lump-of-coal' year, less than 50%):
1. When fielded, remove the affiliation from one character until end of turn until end of turn.
While not exactly what I wished for, I would say this one was fulfilled with Danger Room - Flame-Throwers and Rotating Knives.
5. While active, remove the keyword ability from a target opposing character.
There wasn't one card that could be applied to all keyword abilities, but we did have some that targeted specific keywords:
Heavy Armor BAC (target loses Overcrush)
Professor Zoom - Out of Time (target loses Fast)
She-Hulk - Ain't Easy Being Green (target loses Intimidate)

The news both shocked and outraged: How did a suspected child molester land a job teaching children after being fired by a different school two months earlier?
As Bay Area educators and parents wonder how Ron Guinto was hired to teach at Mira Vista Middle School in Richmond after being fired by a nearby charter school following child sex abuse allegations last fall, the answers reveal loopholes in a new state law intended to protect vulnerable students.
Guinto, 32, has pleaded not guilty to 27 charges including allegations of kidnapping, forcible lewd acts on a child, sending lewd images to a minor over the Internet, forcible oral copulation on a minor and forcible sodomy on a child while working at the charter school, Making Waves Academy.
He was let go by that school in November as police investigated, but he was quickly rehired in January by the West Contra Costa Unified School District, where he had previously worked as a substitute teacher. The district acknowledged it never called Guinto's references, including Making Waves. Guinto has not been accused of abuse at Mira Vista.
Sharing allegations
In September, two months before Guinto left Making Waves Academy, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 449, sponsored by the California Teachers Association and supported by Democrats and Republicans. The law, which took effect Jan. 1, requires all superintendents and charter school administrators to notify the state Commission on Teacher Credentialing if a credential holder is dismissed, suspended or placed on unpaid administrative leave for more than 10 days following an allegation of misconduct, including sex abuse allegations.
The California Teachers Association hailed the new law, spurred by a notorious case of unreported abuse in Los Angeles, as a step toward "ensuring that persons who pose a threat to students will be removed from the classroom and barred from working in any school in the state."
The law's reporting requirements weren't in place at the time Guinto left Making Waves, and it is not clear how the school handled his departure. Making Waves CEO Alton Nelson declined to say whether he reported Guinto's firing to the credentialing commission, but Mira Vista Elementary Principal Gabriel Chilcott told parents at a March PTA meeting that no one had alerted the state.
But even if an investigation had been launched, the state would not have been required to reveal any information unless Guinto's credential was suspended or revoked.
"We are not authorized to disclose whether a person was ever under investigation by our agency," Sullivan said. So West Contra Costa district officials would have received no warning from the state.
If a police investigation leads to an arrest, the Department of Justice automatically notifies the commission. The commission, however, can automatically suspend a credential only when charges are filed for a serious sex or drug crime, and quickly revoke a credential only if those charges lead to a conviction.
Guinto's credential was suspended March 20, two weeks after charges were filed. That was four months after he was fired by Making Waves and police began investigating.
Those four months were enough time for Guinto to be hired again and to plan an overnight field trip with children, although he was arrested before that trip happened.
West Contra Costa school board President Charles Ramsey said shortly after Guinto's arrest that the district had "dodged a bullet" because prosecutors allege he had abused students on those types of trips in the past.
Reference checks
Like all new hires, Guinto was fingerprinted as part of his application for the Mira Vista job and the prints were sent through criminal background checks at the FBI and DOJ. He passed those with a clean record.
On his resume, obtained through a public records request, Guinto listed no end date to his tenure at Making Waves. He listed three references, none of which were checked, and included five glowing letters of recommendation, all dated before the police investigation.
The West Contra Costa school board has since amended its hiring policy to include mandatory reference checks for all employees regardless of past employment and changed its job application form.
Some other Bay Area districts have long had more rigorous requirements, but they vary. Mt. Diablo Unified requires two reference checks for inside and outside applicants; Sunnyvale requires at least one phone call check; and San Mateo Union has a policy of three calls.
But school officials have to be prepared to ask the right questions and hope they get detailed answer as well.
Schools do not have to explain why an employee left a job and, like other employers, may choose to provide simple boilerplate answers to questions about employment history. State law does not prevent them from divulging that a teacher was being investigated by police or that employment ended after a sexual abuse allegation, but such sharing is not required.
Assembly Bill 215, now moving through legislative committees, would add another layer of protection — requiring districts that reported "egregious misconduct" to the state credentialing agency to also disclose that to prospective employers if they ask.
Currently, the law is weak in terms of requiring disclosure of misconduct or criminal allegations, simply prohibiting districts from writing affirmative reviews or recommendations that misrepresent an employee's work history. In the 1997 California State Supreme Court case Randi W. v. Muroc Joint Unified, a district knew of misconduct allegations but nevertheless wrote a glowing letter of recommendation for an administrator who was then hired elsewhere and abused more victims. The court ruled employers could be held liable if they provided "affirmative misrepresentation" of an employee that led to physical harm.
While the new legislation may help reveal potential red flags, districts still have to respect due process in cases where someone may have been unfairly accused.
"I wear one hat as a school board member, but I wear another hat as a lawyer," said Ramsey, the West Contra Costa school board president. "You have to go through the whole due process … or else you can get into a very dangerous, precarious place."

UC Santa Barbara women's volleyball coach Kathy Gregory and two Gaucho players – Erica Lau and Katey Thompson – discussed UCSB, the volleyball program and playing at Division 1 to a group of high school students earlier this week.
The intention was to educate high school volleyball players the importance of a quality education and the challenges all student-athletes face, especially those at UCSB, which was recently rated the seventh-best collegiate institution in the nation – and the No. 1 public institution.
Gregory, a coaching legend who has spent her entire career at UCSB, and Lau and Thompson spoke to the Chatsworth High team about their experiences and how their respective time as Gauchos have positively shaped their lives. They all emphasized how working together as a team and at a university has helped them prepare for what lies ahead in the future.
"Erica and Katey did a tremendous job sharing their experiences of what it truly means to be a student-athlete at UCSB," Gregory said. "They each represented the Gauchos with class and related how their time at this special place has helped mold them into better athletes, and more importantly, better people."
The Chatsworth High coaches wanted their players to get a first-hand view of what it means to go to college and possibly play volleyball in college. Several months ago, when the Chatsworth coaches planned their tour of UCSB, they made it a point to have Gregory speak with the group.

Energy assistance in Oregon is called LIEAP. Low income home energy assistance program helps people of low income pay for their electric bill who would otherwise struggle to pay for their electricity. This program provided by the government, gives financial aid to households and families that need help. If you need help paying your electric bill, use the following steps to help you get on LIEAP.
What you will need:
* A telephone and/or internet connection
* Ability to go to a county office
1. In order to get on the Oregon LIEAP program, you have to complete a LIEAP application. Be sure that you fill out the energy assistance application as accurately as possible. Be sure to include all your sources of income so that the electricity assistance office can determine if you qualify for the low income energy assistance. You can do an application over the phone or have it mailed to you by calling:
2. If you choose to fill out a LIEAP application by hand, you must mail it to the LIEAP office in order to get your energy assistance benefit. You can get the address to your energy assistance office by visiting:
3. Once you are approved for the LIEAP benefit and have been determined to be of low income, you will begin to receive energy assistance on your electric bill. You must tell the electricity assistance office in Oregon who your electric provider is so that your bills will be adjusted with your energy assistance benefit. LIEAP will either greatly reduce your electric bill, if not pay for the entire bill.

Hello. My Name is David, also known as Tribecards. I have a problem. I'm addicted to wax. Not the candle kind, or the kind they used to use to make those goofy teeth or mini bottle of juice, but the kind that are not-quite-square pieces of cardboard.
I know the addiction is strong because I continue to buy re-pack boxes, knowing full well there will be very little worth buying it for. But, you see, there will be wax. Oh, yes, there will be.
And so it is that in a recent repack box, I came across a pack of 2009 UD Spectrum cards. I did a quick search on here and found no related posts. First of all, I found that very odd. Secondly, I can understand why.
These cards are purple. Shiny and purple. These cards are Jimi Hendrix and Prince wrapped up in the guise of baseball collecting. The scan caused the light to do weird things, so the purpleness of these things doesn't come across. But, trust me, only Barney has more purple on him... Well, maybe that Tinkle-winkle thing or whatever it was called - tubertellies or something? I dunno.
First up, we have Carlos Beltran (Mets) and Carlos Zambrano (Cubs):
The front of the cards are, well, purple. They look like they wanted to be UD "X" cards, but missed. They have a "Hollywood lights" style effect, but it gets lost in all the purple. There is a bit of white also. The UD logo is in the top corner, the player is 'cutout' in the center. At the bottom, the word "SPECTRUM" along with the player's position, team logo, and uni number. The player's name appears in a semi-italic font at the bottom.
BJ Upton (Rays) and Dan Haren (Diamondbacks, though wearing an A's uni) rounds out the four Spectrum cards in the pack:
But, wait! There's more! This pack also features a UD 20th Anniversary card. On it, Griffey Sr and Jr are shown together. The subtitle: Griffey Sr retires after 19 seasons:"
How cool would it be to be playing baseball right along side your Dad (or favorite male relative)? I think it would have been awesome.
I also scanned the backs of the 20th Ann card and the Beltran:
I don't ever remember seeing these cards on the rack at Wal-Mart or Target at all. Then again, I may have been subconsciously avoiding the purple packaging...

Why is Haren in an A's uniform in a 2009 set? Too difficult to find time last year to take a photo?
- skoormit said...
Haren in an A's uniform is the entire reason I will not buy any of this product. So lazy.

If you can't have the card match the uniform, don't even bother. This is one of my biggest pet peeves.

Well, by god I will tell you. Take that same lovely sandwich, ditch the lettuce, and put fresh mozzarella and some torn up fresh basil into the mix….forgetaboutit! It truly is a sailors delight.

Creating a Sliding Menu Using the MooTools FrameworkBy Stealth_Snake | JavaScript, MooTools | Beginner
Click on the image above to see a sample of the sliding menu we're going to create.
Our tutorial will be divided into three sections:
- Creating the HTML page containing our sliding menu.
- Importing the MooTools JavaScript Framework.
Creating the HTML Page
Our HTML page will contain our actual content of the sliding menu. To create one open your your HTML editor and create a simple HTML page, the contents of the body should be as follows:

We will have to assign an id to each of our div tags, the first div should have have its id assigned as menu_links, and the second one as menu. You can now start putting your menu links in the first div as well.

Menu

This concludes the HTML part of our tutorial. We will now import the MooTools JavaScript Framework and then start creating the effect using JavaScript.
Save this page anywhere on your hard drive.
Importing the MooTools JavaScript Framework
Start off by downloading the MooTools framework JavaScipt file from its official website, save the script in a folder named scripts to be located in the same directory as your HTML file. Back to your HTML page, you have to import our MooTools JS Framework into our HTML page header. You are required to type the code shown below to be able to do this.

Our preparations are all done now. We need to start scripting our sliding motion now.
Creating the Sliding Effect
The code for our sliding effect is pretty short. You can simply copy and paste this code to do the trick. We will explain in the following paragraphs how it works. Paste this code anywhere in the body of your HTML page.
o3dEvent = new Event(o3dEvent);
We start off by creating a new instance of the Fx.Slide() class and assigned it to the variable called mySlide. As you can see, we passed the parameter menu_links to the Fx.Slide() object when we created it and that is the id or the div element we would like to slide.
We then created a click event for our div element that has the id menu so that when the user clicks on this div element a function attached to the click event is executed. It is necessary to pass the identifier of our event to this function.
Our function shall execute the o3dEvent as follows. We will examine it in detail now.
o3dEvent = new Event(o3dEvent);
We create a variable called o3dEvent and assigned it to an event handler, which is a method to manage events happening on stage.
Our function will carry out this simply job using the toggle() method which slides in and out the element with the id menu_links as we have previously defined in our code.
We finally have to stop the event when sliding is finished.
Our actual code for creating the effect is done, but you might want to give it a proper graphical look by applying a style to it using CSS (You can read our tutorial on what CSS is if you would like to know more about Cascading Style Sheets). This code is to be placed in the header of the HTML page.
div#menu_links{height:20px; padding:5px 0; background-color:#333333; border:#CCCCCC solid 1px; text-align:center; color:#FFFFFF }
div#link_contanier{ background-color:#CCCCCC;}
div#menu{ background:#CCCCCC; font-size:12px; text-align:center; cursor:pointer}
That should do it, you can now test your HTML page to see your click-able menu that expands once clicked. You can download a working source file of this tutorial here. This concludes our tutorial, you can visit the official MooTools website to learn more about it, feel free to post at the Oman3D Forum if you have any problems with this tutorial.
- End of Tutorial

Hello guys I have a 1979 Silverado 1/2 ton 350. I tried jump starting my truck and placed the jumpers on opposite terminals, in doing so i seen smoke coming from the engine bay and it ended up burning through one of the wires coming from the junction block. I replaced the wire and then all my trouble started. My truck will start and run just fine.. But heres the problem all of my electronics go haywire. For example when i turn the headlights on the drivers side is very dim and when i turn the steering wheel it goes back to normal brightness and when i turn on the heater blower the passenger turn signal turns on and lights dim and all of the gauges go crazy. Wipers only are very slow. The only way that everything works properly is if I'm not driving the truck and the heater is on full blast with headlights on and the steering wheel is in a certain position. I have torn the dash apart and looked for any signs of whats wrong.. I am pretty decent with electronics and the understanding of them so I've done some troubleshooting but now I am completely lost and any ideas will help.. Thanks in advance
start with the turn signal switch and its ancillary wiring, ol wayne can get you a lot further than myself with wiring.... good luck bro!
please perform the second half of this test..then post results.. by number...1...2...3...4...this really does work... this should be printable..~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
please. make sure that you have a braided ground strap from the back of the engine to the firewall.. and that its connected to the good locations that are clean.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~you will need to print this one also.. or slide it to the right..please continue the voltage drop test... between the positive battery post and the terminal block shown at right..its actually on your firewall just to the passenger side of your distributor... i have found so many of those with burned connections and you could also have a partially melted fusible link there.
I just got to work for the day i will try this when i get home.. So you think that my problem is some voltage is being lost some where due to a bad ground? Ive checked most of my grounds that i could see but i didn't check the one from the back of the head to the firewall i will make sure to run the test and then check that.
Also on the voltage drop test it says to turn the headlights on.. In my post i said that the only way the headlights work is if i turn the steering wheel in a certain position. Should i turn the steering wheel where the lights are on or off for the voltage drop test?
Okay so when i got home first thing i checked was for that ground strap from the head to the firewall.. Couldn't gind any such thing so as a method of checking grounds i took a pair of jumper cables and put one of the black leads on the negative terminal of the battery and the other black lead to a bolt on the firewall i then took on of the red leads and placed it on the alternator mount and the other red to another bolt on the firewall. Turned my headlights on and instantly brighter. Even if i turn the steering wheel the headlights stay on along with the heater (unlike before where they both turned off) so from there i wired up a ground from the negative battery terminal to the firewall. Used thick gauge wire to do so but now i have a new problem. When my lights are on the flashers are on but not flashing just a steady solid light but when i turn the left turn signal on the left starts to flash on the outside BUT the indicator on my dash shows that the right flasher is going off. So i ran the voltage drop test and got this1. 10 volts2. 0 volts3. 0 volts4. 0 volts I know that you said 0 was an invalid answer but no matter where i tried thats what i got..
sir you MUST have a ground from the engine block to the body and or frame, it is priority one!! take care of this step first, then see if you still have problems.that turn signal switch still seems suspect, but so does the emergency flasher switch. fix the ground and ol waynes advice shall get you somewhere.
One step at a time.. LETS get the main ground wires hooked up first.. without the main grounds hooked up properly.neg bat to engine block. neg bat to bodyengine to body.. it will be like plugging in an extension cord and a circle saw.. but the wires from your house to the pole have not been installed yet.. must need a new saw.. it does not work.. wrong.. lets fix the grounds.. the braided strap i posted above has a part number on it that should be available at almost any parts store for about 5 bucks..why the braided . its more flexible.. the wires are finer and there is more of them.. and electrons travel on the surface of the wire.. the electrons can also jump from strand to strand to take the shortest route.. run the test without the jumper cables.. i wonder if your alternator is actually working with 10 volts.. but ..if its not putting out close to 14 volts.. you will have issues..got a test light..engine off.. headlights off.. key off..test light hooked to the alternator housing or mounting bolt..probe the wire on the stud on the back of the alternator.. do you have power???probe the large red wire into the side of the alternator.. do you have power???the small wire on the side of the alternator is hooked to the light in the dash board.. and the other side of that bulb is hooked to the alternator light if you have one.. you could on a 79 have a volt meter. say... also.. when you are running the 4 part test.. without the jumper cables.. try it on a WORKING CAR.. just to check it out.. in fact try it on TWO different cars.. chances are that one might need service.. if you get 0.00 volts ON test 2, 3, and 4.. please change the meter setting to 2 volts DC scale..the drawings above.. with the red wires marked out is a 77 to 80 chevy truck as is the other image.. with the green and red lettering..
battery negative to battery positive.. expected 14.1 to 14.8 volts.Battery Negative to the engine block expected 0.04 volts..Battery negative to the body.. expected 0.02 volts Engine block to the body.. expected 0.02 voltsthese will be off if the alternator is not working..
wayne you really do good work bro!
So i made all of my grounds good.negative terminal to alternator mountNegative terminal to firewallFirewall to alternator mountWhen i did that i re ran the voltage drop test 1. 14.19 volts2. -.02 volts3. -.01 volts4. -.03 voltsMy alternator is brand new i replaced it when i fried the original wire on the firewall that started my problem so i don't know if that makes a difference if you're determining if its a bad alternator.Also another symptom of my lights problem is that when the dims are on it works fine when the brights are on they flash opposite
those numbers look great..14 volts is great.the rest are fine.. lets look at the front lighting for more ground issues...i am thinking that you are talking about the headlights being on DIM/LOW.. and brights /HIGHfollow the electrical wiring from the back of the headlights.. i don't recall if its grounded on the inside of the radiator core support or on the outside.. but there are 3 wires on a LOW beam.. light green and a Tan wire but a third is black.. black is the ground and it needs to be connected to the body.. and the body to the battery negative.. you can also .. engine running.. headlight on.. run a voltage drop test to the ground ring terminal from the headlights..you might also want to run from the negative to the radiator core support to make sure its not insulated by the paint.. lets do the same thing for the turn signal and parking lights on the front .. 3 wires.. brown is running lights.. light blue or dark blue are the turn signals.. black will be a ground.. again.. these are usually connected to the radiator core support also.. now.. i don't recall which turn signal sockets are used on a 79... if the front or rear turn signal lights are giving you issues..if you are talking about the side marker lights..on a 79... they will flash out of phase with the turn signals.. because of the cool way they are wired..prior to .. 76/75.. the side marker lights came on with the parking or tail lights and were connected to ground...after that time.. they removed the ground side of the connection.. and wired it to the turn signal on that side. this makes them flash when the turn signals are on.. parking lights on... brown wire hot.. thru side marker light to turn signal wire.. thru turn signal filament to the ground on the turn signal bulb to make the side marker light glow... the side marker filament is much smaller than the turn signal filament so it does not glow when this happens.. when you turn on the turn signals on that side.. when there is power in the turn signal circuit.. the side marker lights cannot get any ground thru that short cut so the bulb goes dark.. as there is positive voltage on both sides of the bulb...so it flashed out of phase with the turn signal lights..lastly.. when the parking/headlights are NOT on.. when the turn signal circuit is active.. the power goes thru the side marker bulb the other way and gets a ground thru the parking lights filaments.. since there are more than one parking light filament on that circuit.. there is enough current to turn on the side marker lights..try to describe the issues.. i am taking wild guesses.. hope i am right..

Ardeen Cross, mayor of Clutier runs her little domain with a iron fist. I went to the city council meeting to find out how the firestation was coming and when the firemen would get the gear they needed. When this was brought up by the council a rather touchy discussion ensued, then the mayor announced they were moving on-a nice way of saying you don't agree with me I am changing the subject!
When councilmman Baseman brought up the fact that people in the townships were wondering when it would be done-Mayor Cross said something to the effect of "who cares" I later asked her exactly what she said but did not get a real answer.
The firemen have gotten numerous donations from private citizens, other fire departments and others. When asked if this money was going to be used to replace needed equipment for the firemen I was told that "with their permission" this money had been diverted to the "new addition". The new addition being the enlarged city hall. A part time clerk and a part time mayor work out of city hall-but it needed to be bigger? These men are volunteers-they do not get paid-they protect the people of Clutier and the rural areas of Oneida and Carrol township. They deserve to have current equipment that does not put their lives at risk.
As near as I could figure out the stove, refrigerator and microwave have to be bought first. The only ones allowed to price the new equipment are the mayor and the city clerk-per Mayor Cross. Kudos to councilmen Pearson and Baseman who asked questions and demanded time lines-with the city council pushing the firemen may have a home within a year of the July storm. The bunker gear the firemen need costs in the vicinity of $2000.00 a set-in the future anyone wanting to donate to the firemen might contact them to put the money directly to gear and out of the city hands.

Menus that make sense
Blog posts
Shaping the future of learning
The menu in any e-learning course or learning site is a little glimpse into the minds of the design team. Were they thinking about the learner, or were their heads elsewhere when it came to designing the menu? Here are a few pointers to make sure your menu design shows you've got your head screwed on.
The menu is the main opportunity you have to show the learner that you've been thinking of them and their needs, so make sure you answer their questions. Learners coming to an e-learning course, Moodle or website are professionals with active, over-occupied minds. They have questions. If these go unanswered, you will have unhappy learners. Actually, you will have no learners, as they won't be inclined to go on a voyage of self-discovery in order to figure out your design.
So design with their questions in mind. Go to an e-learning course, LMS or learning portal, and see if it answers these four questions – then go back to your own work and make sure you answer them…
1. 'What is this?'
Is the point of your e-learning or site clear? Can you express it in one sentence? If someone is coming to this site or course, can they figure out what it's trying to do in 30 seconds? If not, something's gone wrong, my friend. You don't want that first 30 seconds to be the start of a mystery tour. Back to your learning objectives or design documents – you have to fit that explanation that will find on a t-shirt (and not an XL size in 12 point font). The answer must lie in the objectives you set (you did set them, didn't you? Good, good).
2. 'What's in here that can help me?'
Any e-learning or site we design should at its heart, be there to help people. That may mean solving a problem that people know they have, or helping to improve performance in an area they don't know they should be working on. So you've got to design your menus to help people.
This is where titles count. Advertisers know how this works – you sell the solution to the problem, not the tool. Phrase things in terms of problems solved:
'Handling that difficult conversation'
'How to prevent your next data loss disaster'
'Five tips for a great presentation'
Using an 'I want to' dropdown that lets users find the answers to their problems can be a great way to show people you've got answers to this question, and that's the best way to earn the learners' trust and encourage them to go deeper.
If your audience consists of multiple roles, you may need to organise this so you're clearly answering the question for a salesperson, a marketing manager etc. – you can do this by having clear labels for different roles right at the top level.
3. 'How do I get around?'
If there's an order to your content, or a journey that you want to take people on, you've got to make this clear. A great graphic artist can help make your structure clear without you having to write an article on how to get around. Make it simple. Again, if it takes more than a sentence to explain how to get going, you've probably overcomplicated it.
4. 'When can I go?'
Even the best-designed sites and courses, the ones that really answer people's questions, are competing with every other demand on learners' time. So be respectful of that precious time – let them know how long something will take, so they can decide if they've got the time for it. Make a big deal about timings on your menu. We often work them into section titles – 'Five minutes on the key points of communication'. Let people manage their time.
Are there other things your e-learning, Moodle or portal menus can offer, other than answers to these questions? Undoubtedly – there's a rich set of features you could add, and your designs may call for them. But, although you could always do more, do your learners a favour – don't do any less than answer these four questions. Or they'll be asking a whole lot more.

WASHINGTON – Lawrence Summers, who was considered the leading candidate to succeed Ben Bernanke as Federal Reserve chairman, has withdrawn from consideration, the White House said Sunday.
Summers' withdrawal followed growing resistance from critics, including some members of the Senate committee that would need to approve his nomination. His exit could open the door for his leading rival, Janet Yellen, the Fed's vice chair. If chosen by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the Senate, Yellen would become the first woman to lead the Fed.
Obama is expected to announce his nomination as early as this month. Bernanke's term ends Jan. 31, 2014.
In a statement, Obama said he had accepted Summers' decision.
"Larry was a critical member of my team as we faced down the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and it was in no small part because of his expertise, wisdom and leadership that we wrestled the economy back to growth and made the kind of progress we are seeing today," Obama said.
As director of the National Economic Council, Summers oversaw the administration's response to the economic and financial crisis early in Obama's first term.
Yet Summers faced strenuous opposition from some Democrats, including members of the Senate Banking Committee. Summers alluded to the opposition to his candidacy in a letter he sent Sunday to Obama to formally withdraw from consideration.
"I have reluctantly concluded that any possible confirmation process for me would be acrimonious and would not serve the interests of the Federal Reserve, the administration or ultimately, the interests of the nation's ongoing economic recovery," Summers wrote.
Summers' ascent to the top of the list to succeed Bernanke rankled both opponents of the president as well as some liberal supporters. He has alienated colleagues in the past with a brusque and at times domineering style. Unlike Bernanke, he's not been known as a consensus-builder — one reason some critics had opposed his nomination.
He was also seen as having been too cozy with Wall Street and was criticized for critical comments he made about women and math and science.
Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of the women's rights group UltraViolet, welcomed Summers' withdrawal, saying she hopes it serves as "a reminder to all that sexism has no place anywhere in society and certainly not in the highest levels of our government."
Thomas called on Obama to nominate Yellen, 67, who has been closely aligned with Bernanke and has helped devise the Fed's low-interest rates policies.
Since joining the Fed's board as vice chair in 2010, she has supported Bernanke's use of not just the Fed's traditional tool of short-term interest rates but also non-traditional tools designed to help the economy. These include bond purchases and guidance to investors about the likely direction of rates.
As early as this week, the Fed is expected to scale back its $85 billion-a-month in Treasury and mortgage bond purchases. Those purchases have been designed to keep long-term loan rates low to get people to borrow and spend and invest in the stock market.
The low rates are credited with helping fuel a housing comeback, support economic growth, drive stocks to record highs and restore the wealth of many Americans.
Yellen has long been considered a top candidate for the Fed chairmanship in part because of her expertise as an economist, her background as a top bank regulator and her experience as vice chair.
Last week, more than 350 economists signed a letter to Obama calling on him to nominate Yellen. The letter was designed to draw attention back to Yellen amid signs that Obama was leaning toward nominating Summers.
The letter, whose signers include economists with ties to Obama, credited Yellen for prescience in warning in 2005 about the impending mortgage meltdown, for her consensus style of leadership and for her commitment to job growth.
Still, a Yellen nomination would likely face resistance from many Republicans. Critics argue that the Fed's low-rate policies have raised the risk of high inflation and dangerous bubbles in assets like real estate and stocks. Yellen is seen as a leading architect of those policies.
Obama had vigorously defended Summers in recent weeks, both in public comments and in closed-door meetings with lawmakers.
"I will always be grateful to Larry for his tireless work and service on behalf of his country, and I look forward to continuing to seek his guidance and counsel in the future," Obama said Sunday.
The president has been facing trouble with his liberal base on other fronts this year, including revelations about the National Security Agency's spying programs and his call for a military strike against Syria.

Amy Poehler Gets Sassy in Interview About the Golden Globes
Amy Poehler turned on the sass -- and we're not sure if she was kidding or not -- in a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter promoting her and Tina Fey's return as Golden Globes hosts this Sunday, Jan. 12.
Each actress was asked the same questions, with Poehler shooting some down and passing and Fey appearing to be game for anything. Poehler and Fey were interviewed separately, but their answers are juxtaposed.
Was it all an act on Poehler's part? Hmm, we can't tell.
You have to read it to try and glean Poehler's mood. Did she wake up on the wrong side of the bed? You decide.
Some of her prickly responses? See 'em below!
A challenge: $1,000 if both of you wear Amy Adams' plunging blouse thing from 'American Hustle.'
Fey: First of all, if you think my going rate for anything is $1,000 you are looking at an old catalog. I get at least $12,000 to dress up in sexual costumes for people. I would wear that for free. You would not have to pay me to wear that.
Poehler: Oh eww, I don't want to even answer this question. Pass. Next.
NBC is now the Sound of Music network. Are you getting any pressure to do the whole show as a live musical number?
Poehler: OK, I see what you're doing, you're going to set up jokes. I'm not falling for that. I didn't say any of that. I've worked at NBC for 12 years so I'm happy they had a successful night of TV.
Fey: We're going to do most of Sweeney Todd but we're going to fit it in so it seems like a natural part of the show. It's exciting because we're going to kill a bunch of movie
stars. That doesn't sound right at all.
Poehler: You never know. We may just break into spontaneous song. Yeah, I'm going to play Todd.
After a lot of public criticism, SNL has added an African-American women to the cast. Do you think that criticism was warranted?
Fey: I think Kerry Washington did such a great job on the [Nov. 2] show [in a sketch that addressed the controversy]. And you saw how great it was for Jay Pharoah to have someone playing Michelle Obama opposite [his President Obama]. So I feel like they registered that really quickly and they've acted on it really quickly.
Poehler: Ugh, I don't want to talk about this. Pass.
The full interview is here.

In this video below, miniature balls roll up the slopes just as if they were pulled by a magnet. This behavior seems impossible as it defies gravity, and the magnetic forces can't help, as the balls are made of wood! I can assure you there are no fancy computer graphics. Just cardboard, glue, and some wooden balls. It's a real scene, indeed!
This marvelous "piece of art" was created by Koukichi Sugihara, one of the top 10 finalists of the Best Visual Illusion of the Year Contest in 2010. Hence, you can even grab some building instructions off of his website, and construct your very own Magnet-like Slopes. You'll quickly realize how Koukichi achieved this effect, after seeing the video. What is actually happening is that the orientations of the slopes are perceived oppositely, and hence the descending motion is misinterpreted as ascending motion. What is so remarkable about this illusion, is that it is entirely generated by a three-dimensional solid object and physical motion, instead of a two-dimensional picture.

Each of the three tools:
- T-VEC Vector Generation System (VGS)
- T-VEC Tabular Modeler (TTM)
- Simulink Tester for T-VEC (sl2tvec)
have an installation wizard that runs under Windows 2000 and Windows XP. T-VEC has been executed under Vista, but this is not a recommended environment.
The default and recommended target location for the installation is:
- C:\t-vec
T-VEC, and especially the Simulink Tester tools, make use of not only GUI applications but command line batch files, perl files, and make files. Many of the lower level tools run window versions of unix utility programs and these can sometime have problems if the T-VEC install is done in locations such as:
- "C:\Program Files"
where there are space characters in the file path names. Therefore, the default installation location (C:\t-vec) is recommended.
Tools can be installed on any machine, but T-VEC recommends that adminstrative-level privileges be used because the installation creates or updates Windows Registry information. If an installation is performed without adminstrative privileges, the installation is likely to work, but not all features of the tools will operate correctly (e.g., recently loaded project or files), because T-VEC uses the registry and this is created during installation.
Training Configuration
For the purpose of training and use of the installed TTM examples, it is necessary for users to have permission to perform compilation. In some cases it is necessary to compile a test driver with the target under tests to support test execution.
Workstation/Desktop Client
T-VEC tools are typically loaded on a desktop machine, but to run the tools, you must obtain a license or connect to a license server. See more on License Management.
Server (e.g., Citrix)
T-VEC tools have been used on server machines such as Citrix.
Computer Resource Requirements
It is recommended that Workstation/Desktop machines be a modern Pentium class processor with 1 GB of RAM. TTM & T-VEC can operate with less RAM (e.g., 512KB) for small projects such as those required for the TTM training.
Simulink & T-VEC
The resources for the Mathworks Simulink/Stateflow RTW code generation tools are somewhat similar to those for the Simulink Tester and T-VEC. Most users will need 1 GB, but some large-scale systems have exceeded 3 GB. For large projects a high-end processor it is recommended or necessary.
Installation Issues
The T-VEC tools use the registry and when updating the installation, there have been situations where the VGS GUI is blank. Uninstalling and reinstalling the tools may not correct the problem, because re-installation does not modify the saved registry settings.
Open a command window (DOS window) and execute the command
TVECVisualEnv -initSettings
TTM and VGS GUI's:
The TTM and VGS GUI's have layout info saved in the registry. There are circumstances when this information can be corrupted or the user move something that result in an unusable GUI layout, such as missing menu bars, etc. The info can be reinitialized by starting ttm up on the command line with -initSettings
> TabularModeler.exe -initSettings

they take photos of his different weight stage changes, that would be interesting, see the changes in his face and waist as he gains.
Although I'm not too sure on this one, I think Danny DeVito would

All in the Family: Brian Stanley Keeps Up TraditionSOCORRO, N.M. April 30, 2012 – Welcome to the 2012 version of "All in the Family." Brian Stanley – third generation Techie, Macey Scholar and younger brother of a Macey Scholar.
| Brian Stanley aims to pursue a career in optometry.
Stanley's list of extracurricular activities touches on just about everything: InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Tau Beta Pi, Res Life conference assistant, Science Olympiad event coordinator, Science Fair volunteer and the International Society of Explosives Engineers.
"Being from Socorro is a big part of it. This is my hometown," he said. "Being involved in the community is a good way to get involved with people outside of school."
Despite his family legacy at Tech, he didn't feel pressured to stay in Socorro. He made the decision to go to Tech after participating in Science Olympiad as a high school student.
"I've always been fascinated by rocks and minerals – and those were my events," he said. "I remember coming into the Mineral Museum for the test and being fascinated. The experience of being involved in something that's competitive and science-related helped me to decide to come here.
"Tech was the best option for me because I wasn't sure what I wanted to study. The small classes and experience in all types of fields helped too."
In his nomination letter, Dr. Warren Ostergren wrote that Stanley is an exceptional engineering talent and star performer.
"He is very personable and always conducts himself in a very professional manner," Ostergren wrote. "Brian gives of his time for so many important causes and is always available to support the department."
Stanley opted for Mechanical Engineering and found plenty of research opportunities.
Through the Junior and Senior Design Clinic classes, he worked on two different projects. As a junior, he helped design an orthopedic glove to help people with touch-sensitive neuropathy. As a senior, he is leading the team that is working on designs for a small case to mount a computer in an unmanned aerial vehicle.
Dr. Warren Ostergren wrote, "We requested that Brian take on this leadership role, although it was outside his field of interest. He responded in outstanding fashion, not only assuming the leadership, but seeing that his team of only junior level students performed in remarkable fashion."
He also has worked three summers at the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center at Tech. There, he gathered experience as a professional engineer while still a student. He got to run simulations, tests, models and write reports – an experience he said was fun.
During the summer of 2009 while working at EMRTC, Stanley had the privilege of working with a History Channel film crew, which was designing a test to simulate a meteor impact.
"If I had gone elsewhere [for college], I wouldn't have had those opportunities," Stanley said. "I wouldn't have gotten the same one-on-one instruction. At bigger schools, there's too many students to have that much interaction."
During his fourth year, Stanley decided to add a biology minor, so he's staying around for a fifth year. His sister, Laura, was a Macey Scholar during the 2010-2011 year, majored in biology and is now in optometry school in Texas.
"She convinced me to apply to optometry school too," Brian said.
The Stanley legacy at Tech goes back more than 50 years. The family patriarch, Dr. Dennis "Doc" Stanley, enrolled at Tech in 1957, earning his bachelor's in 1961 and his master's in 1964 and later taught for two years at Tech.
Brian's father, Mike, and his uncle Matt both graduated from Tech in 1984. Mike earned his bachelor's in mining engineering; Matt in petroleum. Just to keep Tech in the family, they both married Tech graduates. Mike's wife Meri earned her degree in mathematics. Matt's wife, Anne, earned her degree in petroleum engineering.
Mike has worked at EMRTC since he graduated, while Meri works as a data analyst at the NRAO.
Brian's brother-in-law, Erik County, earned degrees from Tech in general studies and management.
"I'm keeping up with the family," Brian said. "I'll be the last of the Stanleys to go here – at least for a while."

Anonymous set to establish news website after successful fundraiser
Since its early days Anonymous has been largely based off of
social media activity, with much of its activity taking place on
4chan, Twitter and Tumblr, though more central players are also
regulars on online chatrooms hosted by IRC.
The group, which is really a loose collective of online hacktivists that join forces for various focused projects, has generally avoided establishing permanent sites, though the @YourAnonNews (YAN) account has now begun a public campaign to raise funds for a new online home.
An initial attempt to fundraise for the new venture seems to have been a outright success, with over $54,000 having been crowdsourced, far exceeding the two-thousand-dollar goal. The group also seems to have developed a penchant for merchandizing, using the group's symbolic coat of arms - a Guy Fawkes mask and crossed swords - to gift apparel and mugs for donors.
While it is difficult to point to any central hierarchy within Anonymous, this latest project to establish a news web presence may further coalesce the group - which is known for its distaste for corporate media.
According to YAN's announcement, the website will seek to capitalize on what the group is best at doing: collecting individual contributions and coalescing around certain news items and activist drives.
"We will engineer a new website which will allow us to collect breaking reports and blogs from the best independent reporters online. We'll provide feeds for citizen journalists who livestream events as they are taking place, instead of the 10-second sound bites provided by the corporate media. Likewise, we know it would be beneficial to our followers to exist as a community beyond simple social media interactions."
By developing a large following in social media the group's voice has been amplified, and its large membership numbers mean that it is often involved in the headline stories of the day. Anonymous has also developed into an active community of participants who often try to piece together content such as images and videos by Internet users to tell a larger story.
Most recently, Anonymous has been preoccupied with opposition to Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), a US cybersecurity bill its supporters say is meant to help the government coordinate against cyber threats. The hacktivist group's opposition, which is also reflected by advocacy organizations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the ACLU, is based on issues of privacy and civil liberties.
The group's interests, which are well reflected by Twitter accounts such as @YourAnonNews, cast a wide net, and can include everything from Venezuela's presidential elections to the recent rape and suicide case of Rehtaeh Parsons in Halifax, Canada. In the latter case, the group not only pushed for visibility of the case, but also inserted itself into the criminal investigation by threatening to publicly disclose the identities of the alleged teen rapists.
Often, smaller regional groups around the world will push issues forward within the collective, such as the recent #OpRohingya project which sought to bring attention on the plight of Myanmar's Rohingya Muslim minority.
Though it remains to be seen whether the group can successfully host and manage its own news website, considering its current reach via social media sites it is not difficult to imagine a future where Anonymous can be an even bigger player in the mainstream news cycle.

Bloomberg presents his valedictory budget, question marks included
"We've gone through Sandy, we've gone through Irene, we've gone through a mortgage crisis and yet with all of those things, the city's budget is still in balance," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg this afternoon during his valedictory preliminary budget as mayor of New York City.
The $70.1 billion plan for fiscal year 2014, which begins July 1, will be balanced as required by law and contains no layoffs, but it does call for the closure of 20 firehouses and is, more broadly, contingent upon a number of unknowns: the fate of the mayor's borough taxi plan, now in the hands of the state's highest court; the city's ability to reach a deal on teacher evaluations before a new, state-imposed February deadline; the outcome of ongoing Medicaid negotiations; the uncertainty surrounding hurricane recovery efforts.
Story Continued Below
More than a year ago, the state approved Bloomberg's borough taxi plan, which would create a new breed of taxis for the outer boroughs, and, separately, allow the city to sell 2,000 new regular yellow-taxi medallions, which the city believed would bring in more than $1 billion.
That plan, passed with great fanfare, has since run into the staunch opposition of the yellow taxi industry and their high-powered lawyers.
The Court of Appeals is expected to hear a challenge to the borough taxi law this spring and only after the court deliberates and issues a decision, will the city know whether it's going to get any of that medallion revenue.
In the meantime, the city has reduced its revenue expections for medallion sales in the 2014 fiscal year from $790 million to $600 million.
"That's just to be conservative," said the mayor. "I hope I'm wrong."
The mayor explained the reduction in revenue estimates like this: "The later you start selling medallions, the more difficult it is to get the number out in that period of time. ... It's an educated guess."
Nor, for that matter, is the city clear on where it stands regarding education aid.
Unlike nearly every other school district in New York, the city failed to reach an agreement with its teachers union on a new evaluation system by the initial January 17 deadline.
It now faces a new one in February.
At risk is $724 million in state funding over the next two years, and possibly, another $1 billion on top of that.
Should there be no teacher evaluation deal by the second deadline, the mayor predicts the city will have to get rid of up to 1,800 teachers by attrition, not to mention lots of extracurricular activities, afterschool programs, and school supplies.
Whatever pain the city might suffer "is more than worth it" in pursuit of a good evaluation deal, said the mayor.
There was also some more generalized carping about the state's shrinking contributions to city education.
In 2002, when the mayor took office, the city and state split non-federally funded education costs. Now the state only funds 39 percent.
"We send an enormous amount of money up to Albany, and we're not by any means getting our fair share," said the mayor.
Another big question is Medicaid funding.
As the Wall Street Journal recently reported, the state and federal government are in the midst of negotiations that will reduce the federal government's Medicaid contributions to New York State, and, by extension, to New York City.
The mayor said that "would hurt our budget" and require that the city "struggle to make sure we maintain services for those that need it."
And yet another risk: hurricane recovery.
The mayor said the city, which has thus far spent $4.5 billion to clean up after Hurricane Sandy, will be made whole by the federal government.
He didn't outline any further risks.
A recent Independent Budget Office report, however, did: "The Mayor's budget plan also effectively assumes that all of the costs associated with cleanup and recovery following Hurricane Sandy will be covered by state and federal aid. That may prove to be a risky assumption...the $60 billion now being requested by President Obama for Congressional approval is less than the initial estimates of need presented by New York and other affected states. The possibility that the city will indeed have to shoulder some of the cleanup and recovery costs—as well as expenditures to mitigate devastation from future storms—remains very real."
In other budget-related news, the city's economy is slowly improving, according to the mayor, but it's not exactly going gangbusters.
Of particular concern to him is Wall Street.
"Wall Street profit growth, as you can see, way down, way up, way down," he said. "It is very worrisome to us what's happening with New York City as a financial center."
Last month, the Independent Budget Office also noted Wall Street's slack performance.
"Wall Street remains the city's most lucrative sector for firms and their employees but is playing a considerably smaller role in city economic growth post-financial crisis than it has in the past several decades," the report read.
Helping the city compensate for Wall Street's torpor: economic activity related to education, health care, professional and business services, leisure and hospitality and construction, which is being boosted by hurricane-related spending.

How, in my wanderings through TA, did I miss this discussion?
If all the other OT misogyny doesn't drive women away from xianity, can Lev. 12 succeed?
I used to complain that girls learn to think poorly of themselves; they grow up and men have to persuade them otherwise.
Don't blame me; I didn't choose parents who'd never received compliments and never gave them.
And this, I have for years been telling people I know that xianity's god fucked up.
I'll say it again; xianity's god fucked up.
If all the other OT misogyny doesn't drive women away from xianity, can Lev. 12 succeed?
I doubt it, since the Levitical hygiene rules have never been followed by Christians, and to my knowledge are not even followed by most orthodox Jews. The actual underlying text doubles the period of quarantine for women who have girls. The quarantine ("unclean") period was associated with things like touching dead bodies or blood, and mostly made reasonable hygienic sense. It didn't mean people were filthy, it meant that they were thought to be a temporary risk to the health of the community.
Is it silly to double the period for girls? Of course. I'm pretty sure most nomadic and early agricultural communities exhibit some preference for male offspring, though. So maybe this should be "fuck ancient cultures?". Or perhaps even "fuck pre-industrial economics?".
I'm curious, though. China shows a remarkably skewed birthrate, which is undoubtedly the result of gender-based abortion. Chinese immigrants have been known to practice gender-based abortion here in western countries.
Where is the "fuck your abortion-on-demand!" that allows misogynists in modern times to selectively destroy girl children? It seems like that's a far worse crime than doubling the length of hygienic quarantine 4000 years ago.
Where is the "fuck your abortion-on-demand!" that allows misogynists in modern times to selectively destroy girl children?
Bob, few people understand, or have even heard of, critical path analysis. It's a method used in the manufacturing industries to maximize production and to minimize production slow-downs.
You are more educated than many people here. Indeed, you use your knowledge to bully those who are less educated.
If you were to use your considerable intellectual ability for purposes other than bullying, and learn that the Chinese are a pragmatic people, you wouldn't have used the word "misogynists" above.
But bullying is easier, isn't it?
Tom - "the Chinese are a pragmatic people," , "gender-based abortion.". ?????
What's that got to do with critical path analysis?
Take a seat, Simon; my minimalist explanation of CPA's use in population control may shock you into denying its effectiveness.
Killing half of the world's men will fail because women who want to get pregnant will do so.
Killing half of the world's women of childbearing age will succeed because there will be half as many births.
That's not misogyny; it's pragmatism.
Hi, @Tom. Labeling those who selectively destroy female children misogynists is intellectual bullying?
I am afraid I will simply have to disagree.
The theoretical effectiveness of a technique for population control is independent of our evaluation of its ethics or inherent biases. Forcible sterilizing blacks and latinos would also make for effective population control in the U.S. (there are higher birth rates in those populations than whites or asians). It would also be racist.
Bob, Christopher Krzeminski, in his ironically titled book, What Are You Without God, warns readers that apologists for religion, in attempts to protect what they so desperately need to protect, will take words from their intended context.
You did that here.
Tom - I don't see much difference between
"Killing half of the world's women of childbearing age" and "Forcible sterilizing blacks and latinos".
"take words from their intended context." - you have to admit, this is what atheists tend to do all day long, when it suits us.

Please comment on the following:
wJn oiJ patere", kai ex wJn oJ Cristo" to kata: oJ wn epi pantwn qeo"
In who are the fathers, and out of whom is Christ according to the flesh...
euloghto" ei" tou" aiwna, amhn.
The NIV seems to take this hO CHRISTOS... hO... QEOS... as a predicate,
equivalent to "Christ is God." Am I even close here with the rationale?
The NASB avoids directly asserting this, but indirectly ascribes deity with
"who is over all...," taking the hO as a substantive reference to Christ.
Does the separation between hO and QEOS mean that they are not connected
and that the QEOS is therefore anarthrous? Or is the QEOS articular, in
which case we are back with the NIV, it would seem to me. How can we deal
with the phrase hO WN EPI PANTWN QEOS EULOGHTOS EIS TOUS...? How are we to
understand EULOGHTOS, which in my simplistic understanding would be a key
to unlock the phrase. If it is subjective of the blessedness Christ
receives from God, then the NASB must be nearer the mark, if it is
objective of the praise ascribed to Christ then the NIV is closer.
It troubles me that the NASB seems to have divorced this phrase from what
has gone before it so that it stands alone. However, something about the
NIV just doesn't "click." I know that "clicking" is not a very scienticfic
method, but believe me it about all I have to go on here with my pitiful
understanding of Koine.
How does the WV function? The nearest I can come in finding help is that
it is an adverb, (present, part. of EIMI) meaning something like truly, in
truth, really. Does it function in a way that reenforces the deity of
Christ, so that it means something like, " who is really God...?"There is
no hint of its force in either translations that I can detect, almost
This is a very difficult piece!!! I hope that this e-mail doesn't show off
my ignorance too much.

Although the technology is still relatively immature, interest in software-defined networking (SDN) suggests that most IT organizations will be making a fairly rapid transition to a new way of managing enterprise networks.
A survey of 110 IT executives conducted by Silver Peak Systems, a provider of wide area network (WAN) optimization hardware and software, finds that one in six expect to implement some form of SDN in the next 12 months. In addition, well more than half said SDNs would be important to their IT strategies going forward.
As a core component of an SD-WAN framework, route optimization simplifies network management and ultimately maximizes reliability, availability and performance. ... More >>
