'Glee' Recap: 'Previously Unaired Christmas'
In the last 'Glee' episode of 2013, Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) introduces the show's Christmas episode, which she claims was originally filmed in October of 2012 but was deemed so horrible that it never aired.
This is that supposed episode (with some scenes removed), set last year.
One of the many clubs at McKinley High finds out that the nativity scene on school property was destroyed and they have been tasked with working on creating a living nativity scene in its place. Good thing the club is just basically all of the New Directions, and it is announced that auditions for the nativity will be held later in the week.
In New York, the kids are swapping Christmas presents when Rachel (Lea Michele) arrives to invite Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Santana (Naya Rivera), who is visiting them to be elves with her as a holiday temp job.
Sam (Chord Overstreet) and Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) run into Sue, who reveals that she's judging the club Christmas trees that year and they must have a green, environmentally conscious theme. She says it will make her super happy to put the glee club in last place.
Back in New York, Rachel, Kurt and Santana are in their elf costumes when Santa arrives and immediately reveals that he's a giant, misogynistic jerk, making children everywhere upset. As a result the trio sings 'Here Comes Santa Clause' to appease the kids. Unfortunately, this doesn't exactly work.
Meanwhile, getting ready for the tree decorating contest, the New Directions put ornaments on the tree and sing 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' with montages of the other clubs around the school doing the same.
Santa gets drunk and passes out, so Santana dresses as Mrs. Claus to hear what the kids want for Christmas. Unfortunately, she's dressed incredibly inappropriately and proceeds to insult the kids and generally just be terrible at her job.
Sue arrives to judge the tree, and as she enters the glee club, hums 'O Christmas Tree.' She is impressed by their work, even though it upsets her to say so with their rivalry and all, and tells them she will announce the winner tomorrow. And surprisingly, she actually announces them as the winner.
Although, in an act of kindness they end up giving the award to Becky (Lauren Potter), who didn't understand what a green tree meant.
The living nativity auditions begin to find a Virgin Mary, which for some reason requires a singing element. For their audition, Unique (Alex Newell), Tina and Marley (Melissa Benoist) sing 'Mary's Little Boy Child' together.
The casting list is put up the next day, with Marley being chosen as the Virgin Mary. Kitty (Becca Tobin) seems upset by this, but she says she doesn't deserve to be the Virgin Mary because she doesn't have the Virgin Mary spirit in her heart.
The New Yorkers are about to give up keeping the kids happy when a shirtless Santa named Cody arrives to say he's going to save the day. A recently single Kurt, who just broke up with Blaine (Darren Criss), invites him back to their house for dinner, and he accepts.
Cody arrives later, still in his sexy (meaning shirtless) Santa outfit. Since he happens to have helium in his bag of presents, the kids huff it and sing 'The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)' in their best Alvin and the Chipmunk voices.
Kurt and Cody fool around when the naughty Santa tells the girls that he swings both ways. Bow chicka wow wow. After too much eggnog, a drunken Rachel and Santana wake up the next day covered in tinsel to find that they've been robbed. Even worse, Kurt has been bound and gagged and dressed like Rudolph by the evil Cody.
The New Directions work on a plan to help the upset Kitty be the Virgin Mary. When they have their dress rehearsal, Unique arrives in a sparkly dress and announces she will be playing Mary. They then sing the Supremes' 'Love Child' as Unique pretends to go into labor and gives birth. Upset by the destruction of her Christian values, Kitty says they need to do things the right way and announces she will play the Virgin Mary.
In need of a new job, Rachel, Santana and Kurt perform inside a store display for Christmas shoppers and sing 'Away in a Manger' while the New Directions do the same for their living nativity scene in Ohio.
Happy holidays, everyone! After tonight's episode, 'Glee' is going on hiatus, but Season 5 will return on Feb. 25, 2014, in a brand-new time slot: Tuesdays at 8PM.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24, 2003 -- U.S. Senator Pete Domenici today indicated a willingness to soon meet with Iraqi Oil Minister Dr. Ibrahim Bahr al-Uloum, alumnus of New Mexico Tech, to discuss efforts to ramp up Iraq's oil production in order to help stabilize the newly-freed nation's economy.
Domenici, chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, has sent a letter to Dr. Bahr al-Uloum offering to meet with him and to underscore an invitation to attend an upcoming international oil and gas conference in Socorro.
Domenici, who also serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee that his now considering an $87 billion supplemental package that would go toward rebuilding the Iraqi economy, said there is broad interest in Congress seeing that Iraqi energy production is increased.
"I hope you will visit me in Washington. Many members of Congress would welcome the opportunity to discuss how we can support your work. As chairman of key Senate energy committees and as a leader of oil legislation for the United States, I am very aware of your Herculean task," Domenici wrote.
"Obviously, the ultimate success of the reconstruction plan hinges on the successful rebuilding of the Iraqi oil business. I am sure that if our countries work together we will reach the initial goal of generating $4 billion in oil revenue by 2005 for reconstruction, which will be the first step in demonstrating Iraq's ability to help finance its own recovery," he said.
Domenici said Bahr al-Uloum would find ready welcome at an international oil and gas conference hosted by New Mexico Tech's Petroleum Recovery Research Center, Oct. 12-14.
"Let me assure you that many of us from New Mexico were elated to hear the good news. We are proud of the fact that one of our New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology alumni has attained such a highly regarded and critically important international position," Domenici said.
Domenici will take part Wednesday in the second of two Senate Appropriations Committee hearings on the $87 billion sought by the Bush administration for post-war and anti-terrorism work in Iraq and Afghanistan. Defense Secretary Donald Rumseld is slated to testify at the 10 a.m. hearing.

That's the idea that I've also started with, almost 10 years ago ;-) Not using Beo*/bproc, but NFS-root which allowed a single install in the node "image" to be used on all nodes - although you'd probably call this 2 system installs (the master node itself and the node "image"). But over the course of the years I have changed my mind... > If you are running different distributions on nodes, you discard > many of the opportunities of running a cluster. More importantly, > it's much more knowledge- and labor-intensive to maintain the > cluster while guaranteeing consistency. It indeed requires more work, however in some cases it cannot be avoided. From my own experience: a quantum chemistry program was distributed some 5 years ago as a binary statically compiled on RH9 or RHEL3 (kernel 2.4 based) with MPICH included. This meant that when I wanted to switch to running a 2.6 kernel this program could not run anymore so some of the nodes had to be kept to an older distribution until a newer program version could be obtained (that took about a year); it also meant that whenever there were discussions about using higher performance interconnects than GigE, this software's users were insisting on buying more nodes rather than a faster interconnect. This situation has caused both technical and administrative issues and the possibility of running different distributions has solved all of them easily. Having the possibility to run several distributions side-by-side requires spending some effort in organizing the other installed software, normally shared through NFS or a parallel FS to the nodes. But once you make the jump from 1 to 2, you might as well make it from 1 to many. This leads me to observe that we have non-similar points of view: you are a maker of a cluster-oriented distribution, trying to promote it and its underlying ideas (which are fine ideas, no question about that :-)), and sure that it works because it was bought and used successfully. I, on the other hand, have to find solutions to keep the scientists productive (whatever productive means ;-)) and to keep them as far as possible from the system details so that they can concentrate on their work. So it's not surprising that we come to different conclusions - at least they sustain an interesting discussion :-) I would be interested to hear Mark Hahn's opinion on this, as from how he presented himself to this list it seemed to me that he is in a very similar position to mine: supporting a variety of users with a variety of needs. But others should not feel left out, write your opinions as well ;-) > Most distributions (all the commercially interesting ones) are > workstation-oriented I don't really agree with this statement (looking at RHEL and SLES), but anyone who installs a workstation-oriented distribution on a cluster node gets what (s)he pays for :-) I have seen very recently (identity hidden to protect the guilty ;-)) such a node "image" which contained OpenOffice - to be fair, it was used via NFS-root so it wasn't wasting node memory, only master disk space... -- Bogdan Costescu IWR, University of Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany Phone: +49 6221 54 8869/8240, Fax: +49 6221 54 8868/8850 E-mail: bogdan.costescu at iwr.uni-heidelberg.de

Tibetan Input Tools for Macintosh
Contributor(s): THL Staff, Steven Weinberger.
Simply having a Tibetan font does not mean that you can now use Tibetan in a computer. You also need a keyboard or input mechanism to efficiently type in Tibetan, and you also need that input mechanism to work with the various types of software you typically use. One of the problems concerning the use of Tibetan fonts in digital contexts has been the limited and non-standard nature of Tibetan script input tools and software. Usually keyboards are also platform-specific, so that they only work for Windows, Mac, or Macintosh. This page is focused on the Macintosh operating system. For other input tools, see Tibetan Input Tools for Linux, Tibetan Input Tools for Windows, and Tibetan Input Tools for Browsers or Cross-Platform. To read about the general methods of Tibetan keyboards - such as Wylie, Sambhota, etc. - please see Tibetan Input System Principles. To read about using Tibetan Unicode in the Macintosh OS in general, see Using Tibetan in Macintoshes.
Mac OS X 10.5.0 (Leopard) comes with three keyboard layouts:
- Tibetan - Wylie - (EWTS 2.02)
- Tibetan - Otani
- Tibetan - QWERTY
To use these:
- Pull down the Apple Menu and go to System Preferences > International and click the "Input Menu" tab
- Scroll down to Tibetan and click the box next to the keyboard you want.
- Close the International dialog box
- In the Finder menu bar at the top of the screen, you will see an American flag. Click on it and point to the icon for Tibetan that you selected in the System Preferences > International window. When you type, Tibetan letters will appear.

Northeastern Pennsylvania's seven counties could collect more than $4 million per year for transportation projects starting next year if officials assess an optional $5 vehicle registration fee on their residents.
The state's $2.3 billion transportation bill authorizes counties to collect the optional fee. State Department of Transportation records show the region's drivers registered 826,694 vehicles in 2012.
Leaders in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties, which together could collect $2.36 million of that total, initially sounded more open to the idea than their more rural counterparts.
"Right now, we are reviewing the legislation and taking a look at it, so we just started that process," said Jim Wansacz, chairman of the Lackawanna County commissioners. "We'll see what can be done and what type of revenue would be associated with it."
The county budget plans for about $1.25 million per year for its transportation infrastructure but still has significant needs, Wansacz said.
He said county officials try to replace two to three bridges per year "to try to get through the backlog of inventory that we have" while maintaining some heavily traveled roads, including the lengthy stretch of Main Street between North Scranton and Carbondale, and Montage Mountain Road in Moosic.
Like Wansacz, Luzerne County Councilman Rick Williams saw a significant need for transportation funding and expected the administration to examine the fee when considering potential revenue sources for 2015.
"Just driving around on our roads and bridges, we see the price that we see for neglecting them," Williams said. "(Fixing transportation infrastructure) is good for the people in the area as well as for economic development."
Council has not collectively discussed the option yet, however.
Elected leaders from the region's rural counties ranged from being more reluctant to pursue the fee to opposing the idea.
"We had a quick discussion about it," said Alan Hall, chairman of the Susquehanna County commissioners. "We decided, 'Nope.' We don't need to nickel and dime our taxpayers."
Consumers will already be paying more for vehicle registration to generate money for the state's transportation infrastructure.
The fee is scheduled to increase from $36 to $38 by 2017, then future increases will be tied to inflation, said Eric Madden of the American Council of Engineering Companies of Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, the Governor's Transportation Funding Advisory Commission estimates gradually lifting the Oil Company Franchise Tax could increase the price of gas up to 28.5 cents per gallon, which will occur over five years.
In Wayne County, elected leaders will wait to see the impact of other new sources of funding before considering an additional fee for county residents, said Brian Smith, chairman of the county commissioners.
New sources of funding he cited include an additional annual $220 million in liquid fuels allocations to municipalities and $8 million for paving low traffic volume rural roads statewide by the fifth year of the program. He also noted PennDOT will be doing significantly more work with its share of the funding.
Still, Wayne County's transportation infrastructure is important to its elected leaders and has significant needs, Smith said.
It is not yet clear if counties could funnel the money to municipalities, or if the funding would have to be used on county roads and bridges.
"The department is still working out the exact details for how it would be administered and what roadways would apply," PennDOT spokeswoman Erin Waters-Trasatt said.
Wyoming County Commissioner Thomas Henry said he was reluctant to put a new charge on taxpayers, but officials would need to know if the money can be distributed to municipalities before having any discussion of substance on the fee.
Wyoming County does not maintain any roads and only maintains a few bridges that are in relatively good shape, Henry noted.
email@example.com, @kwindTTVehicle registrations by county in 2012, and how much a $5 vehicle registration fee increase would raise:
n Lackawanna: 178,444, $892,220
n Luzerne: 293,502, $1,467,510
n Monroe: 154,890, $774,450
n Pike: 58,122, $290,610
n Susquehanna: 47,470, $237,350
n Wayne: 60,043, $300,215
n Wyoming: 34,223, $171,115
Note: A small number of vehicles would be exempt from fees if they are associated with certain nonprofit organizations.

* The TV photos used in these illustrations may differ from the actual models being described.
The display alternately shows images for the left and right eyes. The left and right lenses of the eyewear open and close in sync with this display timing to show separate images to the left and right eyes. By repeating this action at high speed, the brain perceives 3D images. And because this method displays FULL HD 3D images just as they are, both eyes receive 3D images in high, full-HD quality.
* 3D Eyewear is required for viewing 3D images.
? Compatible with 1,080p 3D signal? Panel has native resolution of 1,920 x 1,080p display
This original Panasonic technology detects image movements like the human eye, and optimizes the drive accordingly. By achieving instantaneously powerful light emission rather than finely divided emission, it reduces the afterimages that cause blurring. As a result, fast movement is reproduced with excellent clarity.
Enhancements to the panel and cells help reproduce images with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks - even when viewed in bright surroundings. In movies, the true, deep blacks faithfully convey the intent of the filmmakers, adding power and realism to the viewing experience.
Even highly nuanced black images in dark areas that were previously impossible to express are now rendered with incredible fidelity. Finer light emission due to a newly developed drive technology raises the steps of gradation by as much as four times over previous systems. Nighttime skies and other dark areas that were prone to blocked shadows are beautifully reproduced.
* When using Cinema mode.
The 1,080p Pure Direct function transmits and outputs high-quality YUV 4:4:4 30-bit video signals directly to the TV. This reproduces colors that are highly faithful to the original.
Diagonal lines and edges are detected with high precision in each scene for all types of images, and optimal correction is applied to achieve beautiful, highly natural, noise-free lines.
The brightness, saturation, contrast and sharpness of colors are finely compensated in each scene. Highly vivid colors are produced with hardly any mutual interference. People's faces are also detected, and skin tones are beautifully corrected to ensure soft, natural complexions.
The blurring that often happens in web images is eliminated to produce naturally smooth motion.
Unique Panasonic technology converts 2D images into high-quality 3D images in real-time. The image depth is analyzed from the compositional, color and brightness data of each scene, to convert 2D images into naturally beautiful 3D images. In addition to ordinary TV programs, this method can be used to convert a variety of 2D images ? such as web content, Blu-ray Disc? media, and photos and movies saved onto SD Memory Cards ? into 3D images with a high level of precision.
* When a 2D source is converted to 3D, the 3D effect is slightly less pronounced than with 3D sources.
Enjoy naturally flowing 24p films and familiar TV-like quality. In plasma displays, increasing the number of frames creates smoother images. When reproducing images from a 24p film source, VIERA's 24p cinema smoother function generates smooth, natural-looking images.
In order to enjoy the original image quality of a movie, you need to have a display that portrays the images exactly as the movie's creators intended. VIERA has cleared the high standards set by the THX Certified Display Program. It reproduces both 2D and 3D images with cinema-like quality. Enjoy beautiful images that are optimal for movies.

Eight dome-type microspeakers with reflectors deliver wide-ranging, high-quality sound. Only about 8 mm thick, these compact units also contribute to the beauty of the narrow-edge design.
The sub-woofer, which is mounted to the rear surface of the panel, delivers robust bass sounds. Its super slim design, with a thickness of only 22 mm, helps to keep the entire display attractively thin.
Original Panasonic acoustic-field compensation technology produces highly accurate sound imaging. Matched to human auditory characteristics, the frequency for the bandwidth in which the sound is located is adjusted and the optimal compensation is applied.

Mount Kilimanjaro with its snow-capped crown at 5,895 metres above sea level is the highest mountain in Africa. Although much higher than the Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak at 4,810 m, the summit is accessible to both professionals and keen amateurs. But it is still quite a climb that normally takes at least 6 days.
Those who undertake the challenge await a great adventure on the slopes of this free-standing mountain, which is actually a dormant volcano with three cones. The ultimate climb goes to the summit, but there are also day hikes to the first hut. The easiest trail, the Marangu Route, is known as the 'Coca-Cola route', with comfortable huts for lodging and plenty of spots that sell water and food. The greatest danger is altitude sickness, but that can easily be avoided by climbing slowly.
Avid climbers choose the Umbwe Route, known as the most challenging one. Iron determination and legs of steel are a prerequisite for this trail. But no matter which route you choose, all will take you through 5 different climate zones, starting with tropical rainforest and ending in the snow. The highest point, Uhuru, lies on Kibo, one of the 3 peaks in the crown of the mountain. For hundreds of thousands of years, glaciers have given this beautiful crown a beautiful white colour, but due to global warming these are melting fast. Scientists estimate that these glaciers may disappear by 2060. And for many climbers this is one more reason to no longer postpone their trip.
Once you have completed your climb and returned to the foot of the mountain, it is time to enjoy the many much more relaxing activities in the surrounding Kilimanjaro National Park. Visit the Shira Plateau - this impressive tableland is only accessible by 4-wheel drive and is known for its rich fauna and breath-taking views. Another great option is a trip to the bright blue Chala Lake; the sunrise is a spectacular sight here. Or enjoy a soothing massage at one of the spas at the base of the mountain in the small town of Moshi. No matter what you choose to do, watching the sun go down over the savannah as you sip a delicious cocktail is a fabulous reward for your efforts.

Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) should use their power to appoint members of the "Super Committee" created by the new debt ceiling legislation to make sure that the Democratic half of that powerful group will be composed of six strong defenders of key programs, and advocates of tax fairness and job creation.
The six Democratic designees are likely to be the only members who can make sure this new committee pursues the mandate of the American Majority who want the politicians to deal with deficits without worsening the fragile economic recovery and without cutting benefits for Americans who depend on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Republican leaders have pledged to appoint only Senate and House representatives who are solidly opposed to tax increases of any kind.
What progressives want is clear: We want revenue increases at least equal to spending cuts; we want Members of Congress to defend Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, and we want action to spur economic growth and jobs. But the establishment of the so-called Super Committee undoubtedly puts vital programs including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in a position of great vulnerability.
The assault on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid must be met with strong Democratic resistance. In the interest of protecting the promises made to current and future seniors of this nation, we call on Congressional Democrats to demand that further cuts not come on the back of our nation's middle class or society's most vulnerable. We urge Democratic leaders appointing members to the new "Gang of 12," to insist that any agreement seeking to reduce the deficit include revenues equal to any all spending cuts proposed.
Most importantly, we must ensure that the structure and benefits of our nation's safety net are preserved. Any agreement deviating from these principles must be rejected by Congressional Democrats. Eventually it will be left to the American people to decide in 2012 just who's looking out for their best interests.
All Members of Congress should remember that at the next election, Americans will have the opportunity to decide whether they want to vote for anyone who would gut Medicare and Social Security to protect tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires.


text: Rebecca Manson, one of the current sculptors in residence at Cal State University Long Bech [CSULB], told me I had to drive out to the campus to see what Christopher Miller was working on in his studio. So, with my full trust in her hands, I took the hour long and then some drive from Los Angeles to Long Beach to scope it out. And when I got to Miller's studio I couldn't believe what I was looking at. It was a painting machine, but one made out of organic materials like bamboo instead of steel, with markers hanging from strings stretched 5 ft high. The whole thing was powered by several fans that would cause the pens to sway back and forth across a massive sheet of paper, which was taped to the ground. Christopher then had various obstacles placed around his painting surface that the pen could work around. For instance, there was one sculpture composed of about 50 triangles that restricted the motion of the pen as well as one of Rebecca's ceramic pieces that blocked out certain areas of the paper to create an ever -evolving, uniquely beautiful, and chaotic masterpiece. I especially love how you can really feel the heart of Christopher's piece when you see it in person, since every single element is either hand painted or constructed. Even the strings that are holding the pens have little paper accessories attached to them, which remind me of tie-died Mondrian mobiles. Christopher is still working on this particular sculpture and can always use donations of various painting supplies like inks and markers to help progress the work. If you're interested in helping him out, you can send him a direct email at Chrismmiller[at]hotmail[dot]com. Watch a video of the piece in action after the jump.

Winter Play Mat
When we were snowed in here
on the east coast over winter break,
the girls and I needed
some good
warm indoor fun.
The Winter Box from last year
was too messy with the rice
and was losing it's mystique.
I wanted a way for the girls
to explore the "snow"
without making a mess.
So... I made this little
winter play mat
some organic cotton
quilt batting
as the frozen tundra,
a scrap of
iridescent fabric
from my stash for the frozen pond,
and a white felt igloo.

Think manufacturing in the US is dead? Ha! While the number of manufacturing jobs in the US has indeed fallen, it's coincided with a boom in manufacturing productivity. Check out GDP on a per-employee basis -- it has soared as the industry has moved up the food chain. What's disappearing though is low end, low-wage work, which is not surprising given our advanced economy.

Fresh Happy Tasty by Jane Coxwell
Picture this: traveling around the world via yacht, shopping in local markets wherever you dock, and cooking delicious meals inspired by your travels back at sea. Some dream, right?! Try not to get too jealous when I tell you that Jane Coxwell has created just such a life for herself. She's personal chef to Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg aboard their yacht Eos. Yeah. Wow. But we're in luck! She has poured her culinary travels and cooking experience into this book: a collection of her favorite easy, low-key recipes with flavors from around the world.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Jane Coxwell
• Who published it: William Morrow
• Number of recipes: 100
• Recipes for right now: Super-Healthy Meusli; Chilled Cucumber, Tomato, and Sumac Soup; Asian Slaw with Wasabi; Mexican Bean and Citrus Salad; Rice Noodle, Avocado, and Beef Salad; Green Apple and Macadamia Quinoa Salad; Shrimp with Citrus Sweet Potato; Lamb and Quinoa Koftas
• Other highlights: I found this book incredibly — and somewhat surprisingly, given my preconceptions about yacht-food — approachable. It's a book that will remind you of your favorite vacations and inspire your next one, all while simultaneously making you hungry for dinner. The ingredients are pulled from various world cuisines, but there's nothing here that you can't pick up at almost any well-stocked grocery store (or these days, find online).
The focus is really on cooking with what you find, whether you're shopping at a big city farmers market or a tiny co-op. Lots of fresh herbs, bright vegetables, and citrus juice. Grains play a big role in her recipes, and Coxwell seems particularly fond of quinoa (aren't we all?!). The majority of her recipes are vegetarian, and even in the chapters devoted to meat and seafood, the dishes are still filled with fresh produce.
I also like the ease of these recipes — I can easily see myself making a few dishes for a low-key dinner party, or throwing together one of the grain salads for a picnic potluck. Even though the recipes are inspired by different cuisines, they feel like they go together. It would be easy to grab a recipe from each chapter to pull together a menu.
I'm really excited to cook from this book this summer! The flavors and ingredients seem to be exactly what I'm craving right now, and imagine myself craving for the warm months to come.
• Who would enjoy this book? Vegetarians (although there are some meat recipes)

Faced with America's worst environmental disaster, Earthjustice seeks solutions in court
Deep in the Gulf of Mexico, invisible to the public's eye, the work of our nation's worst oil spill has continued— smothering coral formations, infecting the food chain, layering vast areas of ocean floor with tarry deposits, and affecting life forms in ways that can only be estimated.
The world's media couldn't get enough of the story, starting in April 2010, when BP's Deepwater Horizon well exploded, sending oil gushing for three months into the Gulf and into the headlines. But, when the well finally was capped, the oil started disappearing, taking the media with it.
The tragedy, though, remains, as does the potential for repeat spills in the Gulf and along much of America's shorelines, especially in the Arctic seas, where oil companies relentlessly seek permission to drill, despite extreme risk.
As the Gulf spill demonstrated (and 20 years ago, the Exxon Valdez spill), oil spills take an enormous toll on human communities, and are grim reapers of fishes, turtles and other endangered and threatened wildlife that Earthjustice, its clients and many others have worked for years to save from extinction.
For these reasons—and starting long before the BP spill—Earthjustice has been deeply engaged in curtailing the expansion of offshore drilling. Through a series of lawsuits, we aim to force federal agencies to do their jobs and stop being cozy with companies like BP, which was allowed to drill recklessly without an adequate plan to handle even a moderate oil spill, let alone the monster it let loose on April 20.
Through court action, we're working to stall plans by Shell to drill in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas in the Arctic. The industry just can't prove it can prevent, much less clean up after, devastating Arctic oil spills.
Our legal work also forced the EPA to reveal what ingredients are in the oil dispersant Corexit, a toxics-laden product applied to Gulf waters without adequate environmental testing at an unprecedented rate. Usage was curtailed largely because of Earthjustice efforts, and may not be applied in the future without environmental review.

We often speak of the four marks of the Church: one, holy, Catholic and Apostolic. We
do not mean that these are distinctive enough to prove the Catholic Church is the only
Church of Christ. But they do help.
Christ established only one Church. "There is one Lord, one faith, one
baptism" (Ephesians 4:5). Presently we will speak of the relation of members of other
churches to the Catholic Church.
We say the Church is holy, not in the sense that all members are holy--far from it. But
her Founder gave it all the needed means to make people holy.
The Church is Catholic because it is universal: "God wills all to be saved, and to
come to the knowledge of the truth" (1 Timothy 2:4). It aims to take in all persons,
in fulfillment of the command of Christ in Matthew 28:19.
We say the Church is apostolic because it goes back to the Twelve Apostles chosen by
Christ Himself. The Pope and Bishops have their authority in succession from the Apostles.
The Pope is the visible Head as Vicar of Christ, Christ is the invisible Head. We know
Christ intended His Church to last until the end of time, because He explicitly said:
"Behold, I am with you all days until the consummation of the world" (Matthew
28:20). Again, many of His parables make this clear, such as the parable of the net in
which the good will be separated from the evil at the end, or the parable of the weeds in
the wheat, with the same idea.
There can be, and are, bishops validly ordained who are not in union with the Pope.
These are called schismatics, and lose many graces by their rejection of the Head of the
Vatican II taught that just as Peter and the Apostles formed a sort of college, with
Peter as the head, so in a somewhat similar way, the Pope and the Bishops also form a
college (LG chapter 3). This relationship is called collegiality. However Vatican II also
taught in that same chapter that the Pope can even, if he so wishes, give a solemn
definition of doctrine without consulting the Bishops, and that He has immediate authority
over everyone in the Church, including each Bishop.
The Church is also called the People of God, that is, those who come under the new and
eternal Covenant (cf. Exodus 19:5; Jeremiah 31:31-33). St. Paul in Romans 11:17-18
pictures Christians of his day--and so also today--as being engrafted into the tame olive
tree, which stands for the original People of God, into places left empty by the fallen
branches, Jews who rejected Christ.

Normal kite conditions? Flat water or some good waves with moderate wind on 10m kite?aircatcher wrote:What more can you ask for?
Last season we had 7 months of good winds with not too much shorebreak. Gets busy though December/January time. Shorebreaks can come in typhoon season wich is the months October to beginning of January but not all the time..Philippino wrote:Hello!
If you are looking for good nightlife it would better to go to Boracay. Boracay White beach boasts of it's numerous bars, restaurants, girls, etc. The prices are higher than in MuiNe. Descent accomodation starts from 900 peso (20USD) per day, monthly price for apartments are from
15000 peso. The wind is constant in winter around 15-20 knots cross-onshore. Water is flat, shallow. The most popular sizes are 8-12m. The disadvantages are small lagoon (2km*0,5km), which is overcrowded (especially during Chrismas and New Year holidays), sea urgins, tides. Sometimes at low tide there is no water at all, at high tide you could have prisoblems with launching-landings because of palmtrees and narrow starting area.
Another option is Bagasbas (Daet) but there is no night life at all.
MuiNe is cheaper, but wind is not reliable. I was there 2 years ago and it was only 2 windy days of
7 days in January. MuiNe has 7 km long beach. So there are a lot of space but the main problem
is waves. Howerever it depends what you are looking for. This place is not for beginners because of shorebreak and deep water. Also Vietnamese people are unfriendly and don't speak English.

_gp_disp is a magic symbol used with PIC code on MIPS. Be happy, this error message saved you from crashing your system. You should use the same compiler options to compile a kernel module as the kernel makefiles do. In particular the options
-fno-pic -mno-abicalls are important.
Loading a module results in relocation overflow errors
The attempt to load a module results in relocation overflow messages for virtually every function used in the kernel:
mymod.o: Relocation overflow of type 4 for printk mymod.o: Relocation overflow of type 4 for printk mymod.o: Relocation overflow of type 4 for printk mymod.o: Relocation overflow of type 4 for alloc_etherdev ...
This error is caused by the limited range of relocation type 4 (R_MIPS26) which due to it's 26-bit offset only has a 28-bit reach. Modules and kernels happen to be located very far from each other and as the result this 28-bit range is insufficient. Insmod, not being stupid notices the problem and issues this error message.
The solution is the same as in the previous section. When compiling a kernel you must use the same compiler flags for modules as your actual kernel source is using in this particular kernel configuration. These are different from the flags that are used during the build of the kernel itself. In this particular case the module was built without
-mlong-calls which is causing this kind of error.

Lawyer Biographies
Already, some of the most prominent and experienced criminal defense lawyers in the U.S. have been recruited to represent the high-value detainees described below. These lawyers all have experience defending cases involving charges of terrorism and issues of national security. Additionally, the attorneys who will represent detainees charged with capital offenses also have experience with death penalty cases.
Although the project organizers are still identifying lawyers to participate in this project, below are descriptions of some of the lawyers who have agreed to represent the high-value detainees, including those currently facing charges by military commission. All of these lawyers have received an "AV" Peer Review Rating by Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest rating a lawyer can receive and indicates a reputation among his or her peers for having achieved professional excellence. In addition, all but one currently holds or has previously held a national security clearance.
Joshua L. Dratel has defended criminal cases in state, federal and military courts since 1982. Mr. Dratel has extensive experience in both terrorism and death penalty cases and is considered to be an expert in issues related to the use of classified evidence in criminal proceedings. For example, Mr. Dratel defended Wadih El-Hage against charges related to the U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa in 1998 in the case of United States v. Usama bin Laden. That case involved extensive litigation of issues related both to the use of classified evidence and to the imposition of Special Administrative Measures that restricted Mr. El-Hage's ability to assist in his own defense. Mr. Dratel also defended Mohamed El-Mezain in the case of United States v. Holy Land Foundation, which involved allegations of material support for Hamas (a designated terrorist organization) and also required considerable litigation regarding national security issues. Mr. Dratel has also been a member of the capital defense panel for the federal court in the Southern District of New York, and has served as lead and learned counsel in a number of federal death penalty cases. He is also a member of the Capital Punishment Committee of the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, and chairs its amicus curiae subcommittee. As noted above, Mr. Dratel also served as lead and civilian defense counsel for David Hicks, an Australian citizen charged by military commission and detained at Guantanamo Bay.
Mr. Dratel is a past president of the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, is on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), and serves as co-chair of NACDL's amicus curiae committee. He has co-edited two books related to the treatment of detainees and other prisoners in the ongoing "war on terror," including The Enemy Combatant Papers: American Justice, the Courts, and the War on Terror, Cambridge University Press (forthcoming in 2008), and The Torture Papers: the Road to Abu-Ghraib, Cambridge University Press (2005). He has written numerous law review articles challenging the constitutionality of the Classified Information Procedures Act as it is applied to deny criminal defendants access to evidence, as well as Special Administrative Measures that limit the defendant's ability to assist in his or her own defense. In 2006, NACDL awarded Mr. Dratel the Robert C. Heeney Award, which is the organization's most prestigious award, given annually to the one criminal defense attorney who best exemplifies the goals and values of the association and the legal profession. He has received numerous other awards and commendations from NACDL and other legal organizations for his work on behalf of criminal defendants.
Thomas Anthony Durkin has been practicing criminal law in Chicago for almost thirty-five years and has a wealth of experience defending clients in complex cases, including cases involving classified evidence and allegations related to terrorism. For example, Mr. Durkin represented Dr. Abdelhaleem Ashqar, who was charged with providing material support to the Specially Designated Terrorist Organization, Hamas. That case required extensive pre-trial litigation regarding application of the Classified Information Procedures Act. Mr. Durkin also served as lead trial counsel for Matthew Hale, the self proclaimed Pontifex Maximus of the World Church of the Creator, an avowed white supremacist organization, on widely publicized charges that Hale solicited the murder of U.S. District Court Judge Joan H. Lefkow. The FBI designated Mr. Hale's case as a "domestic terrorism" case, resulting in the Attorney General's decision to impose Special Administrative Measures that restricted Mr. Hale's ability to assist in his own defense. Mr. Durkin successfully challenged several of these restrictions on Sixth Amendment grounds. In the civil arena, Mr. Durkin challenged the constitutionality of the U.S.A. PATRIOT Act on behalf of the Global Relief Foundation, Inc., an Islamic charity whose assets were blocked after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Mr. Durkin is also lead counsel for two men currently imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay, Walid Mohammad Haj Mohammad Ali (ISN 081) and Abdul Raham Houari (ISN 070). He presently serves on the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyer (NACDL)'s Select Committee on Military Tribunals and Terrorism.
Mr. Durkin, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, also has considerable experience with the death penalty. Not only has he represented defendants in capital cases, he currently serves as Chairman of the Expert Panel for Capital Appointments for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. Mr. Durkin also serves as a liaison to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit's Judicial Council Committee to Study the Appointment of Counsel for Indigent Habeas Corpus Petitioners under a Sentence of Death. Mr. Durkin is currently listed in the Illinois "Super Lawyers" Magazine indicating he is rated among the top 5% of Illinois lawyers.
Nina Ginsberg has been practicing criminal law since 1978. Her practice concentrates on complex criminal trial and appellate litigation, with a focus on financial and government fraud, espionage, Patriot Act and other international litigation, money laundering and professional ethics. For example, she represented a former US Air Force intelligence analyst on charges that he offered highly classified information to China, Libya and Iraq in exchange for millions of dollars in a case in which the government sought the death penalty---the first attempt to obtain the death penalty in an espionage case since the prosecution of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg in 1951. She also represented an FBI agent charged with selling national secrets to Russia, a case which required extensive litigation regarding the use of classified evidence, and represented an Australian intelligence analyst who tried to sell national secrets on the international market, which required her to obtain evidence from foreign countries. She is considered an expert on the application of Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) in criminal cases, and has been appointed by the court to serve as CIPA counsel in a terrorism case where trial counsel lacked a security clearance. Ms. Ginsberg also has experience litigating death penalty cases. For example, she represented a MS-13 member in a federal death penalty case, which required her to obtain mitigation evidence from foreign countries.
Ms. Ginsberg received the Presidential Commendation Award from NACDL in 1989, 1990, 1995, 2001 and 2007 and was named one of the 75 Top Lawyers in Washington by Washingtonian Magazine (April 2002).

She is a frequent lecturer and commentator to state and local bar associations and the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and on local and national news programs.
Nancy Hollander has practiced criminal law for thirty years and has considerable experience defending clients charged with offenses related to terrorism and national security. For example, Ms. Hollander was one of the lawyers representing Wen Ho Lee, a scientist accused of stealing secrets about the United States nuclear arsenal for China. She handled many of the issues relating to the suppression of evidence against him and issues relating to the Special Administrative Measures to which he was subjected. She is currently lead defense counsel in United States v. Holy Land Foundation, a multi-defendant case involving allegations of material support to the Specially Designated Terrorist Organization, Hamas. That case has involved significant litigation over the use of classified evidence and foreign intelligence. Ms. Hollander also served as a consultant to the defense in the first case in Ireland charging a defendant with directing terrorism and has assisted counsel in other international cases. She has coordinated and taught training courses for criminal defense lawyers wishing to appear before the International Criminal Court and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, was the coordinator of a jury trial training project in Russia, has served as a consultant to the United Nations Development Programme in Vietnam and was a founding member of the Council of the International Criminal Bar for lawyers who will appear before the ICC. Ms. Hollander is lead counsel for Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Mauritanian man currently imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay.
Ms. Hollander is Past-President of NACDL, and is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and the American Board of Criminal Lawyers. In 2001, she was named as one of America's top fifty women litigators by the National Law Journal. She is listed in The Best Lawyers in America, the National Directory of Criminal Lawyers, New Mexico Super Lawyers and the International Who's Who of Business Crime Lawyers. In 1987, NACDL awarded Ms. Hollander the Robert C. Heeney Award, which is the organization's most prestigious award, given annually to the one criminal defense attorney who best exemplifies the goals and values of the association and the legal profession. Ms. Hollander is also one of the NACDL delegates to the United Nations. She has lectured in the United States and Europe on national security issues. She is co-author of Everytrial Criminal Defense Resource Book, Wharton's Criminal Evidence, 15th Edition, and Wharton's Criminal Procedure, 14th Edition.
Denise LeBoeuf is a capital defender with a private practice in New Orleans, Louisiana; she was the founding Director of the Capital Post-Conviction Project of Louisiana and is currently of counsel to that defender organization. She represents persons facing death at trial and in post-conviction in state and federal courts, teaches and consults with capital defense teams nationally. She is particularly interested in the litigation of mental health cases and in the ways in which race and poverty increase the traumatic burden carried by many clients. She was a member of the 2003 Committee that formulated the ABA Guidelines for the Appointment and Performance of Defense Counsel in Death Penalty Cases, and Chair of the post-Katrina Orleans Parish Indigent Defender Board 2006-2007. She holds a B.A. from Hunter College and a J.D. from Tulane University.
She is past President and past General Counsel of the Louisiana American Civil Liberties Union, and was a Member of the Board of the ACLU for a number of years. She was the Chair of the Orleans Parish Public Defenders Board post-Katrina, a member of the Executive Board of the Moratorium Campaign, a member of the Board of the People's Institute for Survival, an Undoing Racism Organization, and the Louisiana Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. In 2006 she was of counsel to the ACLU Capital Punishment Project in Durham, North Carolina.
Amanda Lee has been practicing criminal law since 1996. Recently, Ms. Lee represented Daniel McGowan, an environmental activist accused of domestic terrorism in connection with arson in the Western United States. Ms. Lee moved for production of NSA surveillance of the defendants in the case, which led to successful hearings and plea negotiations. Ms. Lee has also represented clients in international terrorism investigations. For example, shortly after September 11, dozens of Middle Eastern truck drivers were rounded up around the United States, on the suspicion that they might drive trucks loaded with hazardous materials into American buildings. Ms. Lee and her partner Jeff Robinson represented a client arrested and taken into custody in the Seattle area. Since 2001, Ms. Lee has been a frequent speaker on the Patriot Act, the National Security Administration's domestic surveillance program, national security letters, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and domestic terrorism. Ms. Lee also has significant experience outside her law practice related to matters of national security. Ms. Lee studied industrial engineering and technical writing in college and worked as a systems analyst for Science Applications International, a well-known defense contractor, before attending law school. Her work required security clearances, and she interacted closely with a number of military units. Ms. Lee has a strong technical background, and is comfortable deciphering complex data and managing large sets of documents.
Early in her legal career, Ms. Lee clerked for United States District Judge John C. Coughenour for four years, and also for Ninth Circuit Judge Robert Beezer for one year. In both of her clerkships, Ms. Lee worked on death penalty matters. Judge Beezer designed Ms. Lee as the sole death penalty clerk in his chambers. In that role, Ms. Lee reviewed and analyzed every death penalty case that came before Judge Beezer during her term. During her tenure as Judge Coughenour's law clerk, Ms. Lee prepared bench memos on numerous death penalty cases and drafted orders for the judge's signature. As a result of her experience in the district and circuit chambers, she was appointed by Judge Beezer to serve on the circuit's task force to update procedures for processing habeas petitions in the court. Ms. Lee is the immediate past president of the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and is consistently listed as one of Washington Law & Politics "Super Lawyers," indicating she is rated among the top 5% of Washington's lawyers. She is also listed in Best Lawyers in America.
Edward MacMahon has been practicing criminal law since 1986, and has represented numerous clients charged with offenses related to national security as well as clients facing the death penalty. For example, in the 1980s, Mr. MacMahon represented one of the Army officers tried by Court Martial in the Iran-Contra case. More recently, he was lead counsel in the case of United States v. al-Timimi, who was charged with soliciting others to levy war against the United States and inducing others to use firearms in violation of federal law. Although that case is currently on appeal, it was recently sent back to the district court for further proceedings regarding claims that Dr. al-Timimi was subject to the warrantless wiretapping.
Mr. MacMahon also represented Zacarias Moussaoui, who was charged with crimes related to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Although the government sought the death penalty in that case, a jury ultimately elected to spare his life. That case remains, until any cases are tried in Guantanamo, the only trial involving the September 11th attacks. According to the government, the Moussaoui case involved the largest quantity of classified evidence ever produced in a criminal case requiring dozens of hearings to address the use and admissibility of that evidence.
Scott McKay has been practicing law since 1991, and has actively practiced criminal law since 1996. During the course of his career, he has represented foreign nationals and consulted with lawyers around the country on cases involving issues of national security. Mr. McKay received the Clarence Darrow Award from the American Civil Liberties Union of Idaho for his defense of Sami Omar Al-Hussayen, a Saudi national acquitted of terrorism charges following a lengthy trial in federal court in 2004. Mr. McKay has co-authored an article discussing the USA Patriot Act and has addressed a variety of audiences concerning his experiences in the Al-Hussayen criminal trial. He also has worked on capital litigation at the trial and post trial levels. Mr. McKay works on complex civil litigation and, since 2003, he has been involved with the pending federal litigation consolidated in New York arising out of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
Mr. McKay has been selected by his peers each year since 2003 for listing in "The Best Lawyers in America." He is listed in Mountain States Super Lawyers magazine (2007 and 2008) which features the top 5% of lawyers in Nevada, Utah, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. Additional information regarding Mr. McKay's background can be found at www.nbmlaw.com/attorneys/scott_mckay.html.
David Nevin has defended criminal cases throughout the United States for nearly thirty years.

Mr. Nevin has been actively involved in the defense of capital cases since 1981. This representation has included the defense of two cases at the trial level, neither of which resulted in death sentences (one acquittal, one second degree murder verdict). Mr. Nevin has also represented at least six death-sentenced defendants in various stages of post-conviction litigation, including direct appeal, certiorari petitions, and federal habeas corpus, in Idaho and federal trial and appellate courts. He has been qualified as an expert witness on the constitutional standards for lawyers in capital cases on five occasions in state and federal courts.

Jeff Robinson has been practicing criminal law for over twenty-five years. He has tried almost 200 criminal cases in both state and federal courts, and he has significant experience defending against complex allegations involving conspiracy, DNA evidence and crime scene analysis. He has been trial counsel in a death penalty case in Washington. He has won numerous acquittals in homicide cases, and has been involved in some of the most serious criminal cases in Washington State. He was trial counsel in a triple aggravated murder case lasting almost 7 months. He represented the international President of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club charged as the lead defendant in a broad RICO conspiracy alleging arson, attempted murder for hire and witness tampering. Mr. Robinson also represented a young man facing mandatory life in prison for alleged acts of domestic terrorism associated with the Earth Liberation Front and the Animal Liberation Front. Extensive motions regarding the surveillance techniques used by the NSA and other Government agencies paved the way for a negotiated sentence of 7 years instead of life in prison.
Mr. Robinson is a past president of the Washington Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and in 2004 received the William O. Douglas Award, which is the highest honor given by that organization and is awarded in recognition of "Extraordinary Courage and Dedication to the Practice of Criminal Law."

Eleven days ago Korean Sihwan Kim was ruing his bad luck at narrowly missing out on qualifying for this week's US Open Championship, but he went some way in making up for that disappointment by taking the halfway lead in the Saint-Omer Open presented by Neuflize OBC.
The 23 year old, who is playing his first season in Europe, was involved in a five-man play-off at Walton Heath, from which four spots to the year's second Major were on offer. He was the unlucky one, however, and instead of heading to San Francisco, he went to Saint Omer, where he fired a two under par 69 in the second round to lead at six under.
Kim said: "I've been having horrendous luck for the last two weeks and I was really gutted to miss out in that play-off at Walton Heath. So I'm happy that I'm getting a bit luckier this week, and if I could do well here it would make up for it a bit. It would be nice to get some payback for that one.
"My score could have been a lot better, but I'll just take what the course gives me. I didn't feel that it was playing that hard, but the wind picked up over the last few holes and will definitely make the conditions tougher in the afternoon."
And so it proved as no player threatened the lead all afternoon as the wind and rain worsened. Joint overnight leaders Adam Gee and Simon Wakefield both battled to a one over par 72 to sit at three under, two shots behind second placed South African Darren Fichardt, who added a two under par 69 to his first round 68.
"I had a stupid three-putt at the seventh which was annoying as I'd started well," said Fichardt. "But overall I'm pleased as it was very tricky out there. The wind was gusting and making club selection very difficult. I didn't hit it close to many pins."
Fichardt, who played in the World Cup in 2000 with Retief Goosen, enjoyed his best finish of the season in last week's Nordea Masters – tied 14th – which has given him more confidence.
"I've put myself in good positions a few times this season but then have had really bad last rounds," he added. "So it was pleasing to finish well last week in Sweden. It was a swing thing which I've corrected, and it should be more reliable when under pressure.
"Hopefully it will stand me in good stead for the weekend here. I'm looking forward to it."
Gee is finding some promising form again after missing most of last season with a hip injury which required surgery. His challenge took a blow, however, when he triple-bogeyed the par five 14th hole – his fifth – but he rallied well and finished with two birdies in the last three holes.
"I can't be too hard on myself as I played really well today, and one over is actually a pretty good score in these conditions," he said. "This course is tough enough in nice weather, let alone in a hurricane.
"I'm pleased with the way I bounced back from the triple bogey and I'm still up there with a good chance going into the weekend."
The €500,000 tournament is dual-ranked between The European Tour and the Challenge Tour, and prize money counts for both The Race to Dubai and the Challenge Tour Rankings. The winner gains a European Tour exemption until the end of 2013. Eighty-one players made the cut at five over par 147.
