British deliberations on how better to assimilate the country's Muslim minority have been unsettled by the head of the Church of England, who said the application of sharia, or Islamic law, in Britain was becoming unavoidable.
Rowan Williams's remarks have provoked a national outcry and elicited a cool response from the government, which, under Gordon Brown has been trying to reverse the tendency toward Muslim segregation.
But among British Muslims, the reaction has been far more mixed. Some, particularly women, say they don't want any kind of sharia justice in Britain. Others say an informal system of Islamic legal arbitration already functions happily alongside British common law (as do traditional Jewish tribunals).
Many praise the archbishop for thoughtfully trying to reach out across a faith divide that sharpened after the July 7, 2005, attacks, and express sadness at the knee-jerk vilification of him. "We are not calling for sharia and saying we must have it," says Raza Nadim of the mainstream Muslim Public Affairs Committee. "We welcome the debate, but it's sad that someone who is trying to help Muslims and non-Muslims integrate is being painted as the extremist."
Yunes Tainaz, a former adviser to the London central mosque, said he congratulated Dr. Williams "for his sincere and brave stand" and insisted that sharia could help social cohesion and obviate cultural anomalies like forced marriage.
"It would resist the problem of forced marriage, because Islam requires the consent of both parties," he says. Sharia, he says, provides people with a means to "work out their own way to settle a dispute in front of an agreed third party, as long as both sides agree to the process."
Williams was under pressure Monday to clarify his Feb. 7 remarks, in which he argued that certain aspects of sharia law appeared "unavoidable" in Britain. Almost 2 million of Britain's 60 million population are Muslim, and a 40-year policy of multiculturalism has enabled them to preserve and pursue traditions largely unfettered by the secular state.
"Certain provisions of sharia are already recognized in our society and under our law, so it is not as if we are bringing in an alien and rival system," Williams said.
In comments Monday to the General Synod of the Church of England, Williams noted that some of what had been attributed to him differed from what he actually said last week, but apologized for any "unclarity."
"We are not talking about parallel jurisdictions, and I tried to make clear that there could be no blank checks in this regard, in particular as regards some of the sensitive questions about the status and liberties of women," he said.
Much of the British press reported his remarks as a defense of the more extreme manifestations of sharia justice, such as beheadings and amputations. Prime Minister Brown's spokesman said Monday that religious law "should be subservient to British criminal and civil law."
Christian leaders generally expressed regret at the remarks. One member of the General Synod, Alison Ruoff, told the BBC Monday: "There are Christians overseas in Islamic countries who cannot believe that their archbishop … has said such a thing when they are suffering from massive persecution in Islamic countries."
Yet in some ways, Williams was merely stating the facts. Sharia courts have helped resolve divorce cases for Muslims in Britain for 25 years. A council in Leyton, east London, says it has already arbitrated in some 7,000 divorce cases, as well as in contractual, inheritance, and other disputes. The government has also adapted financial laws to make sharia-compliant Islamic banking possible.
Baroness Haleh Afshar, a peer in House of Lords and an expert in Islamic law, says there is no possibility that sharia could override British common law. She likens the system to an arbitration process that complements the law of the land. Rulings, she says, are generally binding "where they do not contravene civil law."
"The fact is that for all religious decisions, they cannot go against the civil code and civil rights, and if either party is unhappy, then they can go to a civil court," she says. "The reality is that no sharia court can allow a man to be polygamous in this country. Even if the view of the court is that men can have four wives, it cannot enforce it."
But many Muslim women shudder at the idea of turning to Islamic scholars for rulings on their private affairs. Attempts to introduce sharia-based law to settle family disputes in Canada provoked protests from women who argued that Islamic law does not view women as equal to men.
"Women have no rights in terms of divorce," says Amra, a Muslim woman who did not want to give her surname. "A man can divorce a woman, but it's much harder for a woman to divorce a man. In terms of domestic violence, it's very hard for women.
"When I worked in a women's refuge [center]," she continues, "there was a woman trying to divorce her husband, so I phoned up the central mosque to get advice, and they basically said she can't."
The problem is that there is no single form of sharia. Muslim law is not written in the Koran, but derived from it, and there are wide variations in the differing interpretations. Cassandra Balchin, a Muslim convert and spokeswoman for the Muslim Women's Network, says the interpretation being proposed in Britain is generally extremely conservative – far more so than in Muslim countries like Morocco or Indonesia.
"They talk about the woman having to ask the man for a divorce, as if women have no autonomous rights," Ms. Balchin says. Compare that with Pakistan, she adds, where the law recognizes divorce rights and where she divorced her first husband with no trouble.
"There would be no contradiction between British law and Muslim law if we take a progressive interpretation of Islamic law," says Balchin. The problem, she adds, is that this is not always the case. "They are so conservative to be dumbfounding."

Rehab Friend Finder – A cross between dating service, student exchange, and internment camp for girls trying to clean themselves up
There are some pretty strange dating sites on the web, and we're not just talking about Match and Adult Friend Finder, though both of those are pretty weird too. This one surely takes the cake. It's a site out of California that arranges for you to accept a sick woman struggling with drug addiction into your home, and offers to pay you big money to do it, since it's cheaper than having the state care for them.
You can pick the flavor of girl that's right up your alley (or willing to go there) and have her delivered to your home. She's already tested clean and verified to be on birth control, and once you grow tired of her, you just call the state back and they'll come pick her up… she'll never even know your real name. Now that is insulting!
If You Are Sure There Is No Hell, Don't Pray to Heaven; Sell Your Kid's Soul Instead
Apparently there was some big to-do a year or two ago when an atheist, out trying to drum up hype for his new movie, asked people on YouTube to make videos basically giving up their souls. This blowback is pretty intense in that they don't just want you to damn yourself, they want you to pledge your soul… also your kids' souls… and your grandkids' souls.
Harsh, man, seriously. SY0-501They quote all kinds of scripture and say they don't actually want your soul, but that when it really comes down to it, even a supposed atheist will admit that there really is a god, and that offering such things is no matter anyone would get involved with.
I think they've underestimated the heathens of our world, but we're willing to drop them a link to help them find out for sure. 70-776 Click here to visit www.FirstBornSoul.com.
Adopt Your Very Own Gitmo Detainee at MyInsurgent.com
With the interesting, though a tad late, decision of late by the US Supreme Court, it seems that the insurgents long held captive at Guantanamo Bay will finally be given their day in court. Well, they would, but it seems there isn't any legally obtained evidence or confession from any of them, so they're just free to walk away. But to where?
The problem becomes that many of these suspected terrorists have no home nation to go back to. The country they were born in won't take them, and the country they were picked up in won't either, so where can they go?
Good news for them, better news for you, and great news for the very notion of justice. Now you can adopt one all your own, and make a tidy sum in the process!
Girls To Hit – A Whole League Dedicated to Letting You Punch a Woman in the Face
Take all that rage you've been building up against your girlfriend, wife, mother or random lady stranger on the bus, and imagine for a second that there's now a safe, legal, sanctioned place where you can let fly with those fists of fury. Now stop imagining because it's real, and it's going live in just a few months, and it's a whole fighting league dedicated to nothing shy of you being able to bash a woman in the face until she is bloody and unconscious.
I'm not sure if this company is ever getting off the ground or if it will be shut down by the long arm of the law before it hosts its first event, but if you see a lady you like you can reserve her as your own personal punching bag now and do so without even putting down a deposit. I guess that means that you can have the best of both worlds. You can keep your cash in your hands and still lock down a ten-minute bout of brutality with a girl half your size. Did I mention you get to wear open-hand gloves like in ultimate fighting, and that they aren't allowed to win?
Passenger Administration – Gov't Travel Site Can Tells You if You're on the NO-FLY List… Are You?
Ever since the terrorists did their damage and the government lashed back, us travelers have been subjected to the strangest and most insulting rules ever imaginable. We take our shoes off, put our toothpaste in Ziploc bags, and throw to the trash our lighters, disposable razors and assorted sorts of oversized bottles of lube.
What does it all mean and what the hell is the point? It's insulting, really, and it would sure be great if there was some way to know if your name appears among the hundreds of thousands on the terrorist watch list. Now there is, and with this Fed Sponsored site, it seems you can finally petition to get wrongly listed names removed once and for all by just completing a quick questionnaire.
Use this site to find out if your name appears on the No-Fly terrorist watch-list, and if it does, get your name removed from the list at www.PassengerAdministration.com.
Looking for a Motivational Speaker with a Screw Loose? Graham Wellington Covers All Your Corporate Needs… Kind Of
I've been to all the top motivational speakers. I've seen Tony Robins, Brian Buffini, Joe Stumpf, Brian Tracy, Zig Ziglar, Phil McGraw and even Deepak Chopra, but none can hold a match to Graham Wellington. With his personal blend of Dr. Drew Pinksy good looks and Earl Browder common sense, this guy has more wisdom to espouse than anyone could ever understand without losing their jobs, their fortunes, and likely their minds.
I'm sure there are some good ideas in there, but the ones that strike us as crazy, inept or outright terrible seem to outweigh the mix so badly, there's not a whole lot we can say except "Avoid This Guy at ALL Costs!"
Then again, if you've tried all the other motivational speakers, and you're still hungry for more, maybe you're just the sort of lunatic he's looking for.
Check out the site online at www.GrahamWellington.com, but don't try to say we didn't warn you.
Company Had Problems with Racism/Sexism in the Workplace? SensitiveYou.com Has All the Training Your Staff Could Ever Ignore
I've worked what has felt like an eternity heaving the oars in the belly of the corporate ship, so I've seen more than my fair share of experts come and go trying to teach us things about racial equality, and what not. None of it means anything, of course, but big companies have to put on the appearance of at least trying. You hire some experts, they do their jobs, they leave, and you're absolved from wrong-doing, essentially.

The Best Chance Ever to Legalize Marijuana or Get Slavery Reparations… ChronicReparations.com Combines them Together At Last
We don't see too many social programs we can get behind, and when we do it, they're typically pretty much bullshit, and this one is double-joke at best, which is probably the reason why we love it so much.
Imagine an America where marijuana (medical or otherwise) is totally legal and perfectly regulated, and all the money pouring in is finally going to fund the long-promised, never-delivered assurances offered to the descendents of the American slavery legacy.
If you're looking to smoke weed legally, or you believe that reparations can benefit black Americans in the form of carefully balanced and measured social programs.

If You Think Crabs Are Bad Revenge, Just Wait Until You See the STD Store
We wrote up a piece a few months back about a site that actually sells crabs specifically so you can get back at your ex, and we thought that was so terrifically horrible it deserved a certified Insulting write-up, but we had no idea how far some will go to ruin the lives of others.
The STD Store doesn't just sell lesser curable nuisances, they're willing to do the whole damn deal, complete with herpes, hepatitis and HIV… and how can they sell these terrors at such low prices? It isn't volume, its offshore operation. 500-210 The internet keeps shrinking the world, and now your enemy's genitals can enjoy the same downgrade.
And as far as unreal sites go, this one is just a bit too convincing for my taste. 010-151 The shopping cart actually works, and short of putting in my real credit card (no way in hell!) there's nothing I could find that says these guys aren't legit, and that's a terrifying idea for our world, our children's world, and the poor previously undestroyed kid-junk or our children as well.

Site Offers an Abortion Pill Called the LifeSaver™, Which Dudes Can Slip to Their Unsuspecting Ladies
We really go out of our way to find the newest, most insulting sites on the web, but this one has got to be right up there. C_HANATEC_15 It's apparently a product that acts exactly like the RU486 abortion pill (the one that makes women excrete their unborn children) except that you can buy it without a prescription, and it gets worse.
You can also buy it without a vagina, so they're basically selling it to dudes. They have all kinds of instructions about how you can slip it in your girlfriend's drink, hide it in her food, or even rub it into her skin.
So basically you can buy it, give it to her, and the baby is gone. C2010-530 They've got all kinds of justifications like gender inequality and equal rights, but it's a horrible, horrible thing, and I don't know what kind of sick bastard would come up with this, even as a joke.

Children can assemble a time line of the key events in Abraham Lincoln's life. You'll find patterns for making a time line in the shape of Lincoln's stovepipe hat on the following pages. Children can make the time line on their own, in groups, or as a class. To begin, make a photocopy of the patterns. (If you are making a class time line, you may want to enlarge the images to make a more prominent display.) Have children cut apart the fact strips, then arrange them in chronological order on the hat pattern, beginning with Lincoln's birth on the bottom and ending with his death at the top. Have students double-check the order of the dates before gluing the strips in place.
You may want to use the time line as the center of a bulletin board or wall display on Abraham Lincoln's life. Children can add information, quotations, stories, and other materials to the display as they learn more about Lincoln.

Don't Touch That 'dile (Japanese: ワカバタウン!はじまりをつげるかぜのふくまち! Wakaba Town! The Town Where Winds Telling of a Beginning Blow!) is the 117th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 14, 1999 and in the United States on October 14, 2000.
|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
Walking through a foggy forest, Ash, Misty and Brock are heading to New Bark Town to register for the Johto League. After being lost, Misty scolds Ash and the two of them get into a small tiff before Brock steps in and breaks up the two. Misty's Togepi then hops out of Misty's arms and Pikachu follows after it to a lake. Seeing a mysterious Pokémon, later revealed to be Suicune, on a formation at the middle of the lake, the three of them become somewhat transfixed upon seeing it. When Suicune noticed them, it runs away. Ash tries to follow it but falls off the edge of the hill that he and the others were standing upon; Pikachu and Togepi soon following after. Becoming alarmed by his disappearance, Misty and Brock follow after Ash soon also trip and fall. Making a small appearance after this event, Jigglypuff walks by and seems to find it fun and slides down the hill as well.
Jessie, James and Meowth are walking out of the same forest, making many references to food to note that they are hungry. They find a Pokémon Lab, where Professor Elm mistakes Jessie as Nurse Joy and tells her to check up on his Totodile. They encounter Professor Elm's Totodile shortly after talking with the professor as the Totodile bites Meowth's tail and sprays water at James' face. Confirming bringing it to the Pokémon Center as she imposes as Nurse Joy, Jessie picks it up and they run out of the lab.
Finally reaching New Bark Town, it's made clear that the trio is tired. Brock reads the sign that the three of them have reached and Ash becomes pumped to soon be entering the Johto League. With all his psyching up at that point, he starts to run off to be going to take on new challengers before Brock grabs him and tells him that he needs to be registering before he does anything of the sort. On the way of walking into New Bark Town, Misty makes a comment about Nurse Joy probably running the Pokémon Center in that area as well. Excited to see Nurse Joy, Brock tells Ash and Misty to be going to the Pokémon Center, but when they reach there, they are met by Nurse Joy's Chansey. Chansey then presses a button after Brock speculates on Chansey not being Nurse Joy and a screen appears. A recording of Nurse Joy plays on the screen and says that she is with Professor Elm and will be back by 2:00. Noting the time on the clock, Misty directs Ash's attention to it where he states that it is 3:30. Brock gets concerned about Nurse Joy and makes a big deal of it to both Ash and Misty before forcing them to find her. However, when the three of them reach the laboratory, they see that there's police surrounding the premises where they see another familiar face, Officer Jenny.
When Brock sees Officer Jenny, he offers to be giving her a bouquet of flowers. However, as usual, Misty pulls him back by his collar and tows him away. Afterward, Ash asks about what's been going on around the area, and that's when he, Brock and Misty rush inside; they see Nurse Joy scolding Professor Elm for being careless. Brock rushes up to her and holds her hands in his flirtatious state but is shoved away by Misty again. Ash and his friends learn about the stolen Totodile and talk about the starters that are offered in both New Bark Town and Pallet Town. Being soon questioned about having met Professor Oak, Professor Elm falls in a long winded rant to Brock about how he was one of Oak's top students and other things that he could be mentioning worth any merit while Misty and Ash focused more on the Cyndaquil that Nurse Joy took from Elm.
After this, one of the police officers brings a plaster mold of Team Rocket's footprints. Using this sample of their footprints, Officer Jenny's Growlithe tracks down Team Rocket and the Totodile. The next scene shows Team Rocket with the Totodile having chomped down on Jessie's hair. While the three of them are making comments about the Totodile, they soon come to a phone booth and plan to be making a call to the boss. Meowth was going to be making the call first, though Jessie smacks him away with the door of the booth and tells him that she 'knows how he operates' and claims that he would be taking all the credit. While the two of them have an argument, James just walks past them and goes to be making the phone call while the two of them are busy fighting with one another.
Officer Jenny and the trio come across Team Rocket after Growlithe had found them. After commenting on who's who at the sight of one another, Team Rocket recites their motto and then makes a comment on how they can't give Totodile back because it won't let go of Jessie's hair. Scolding the three of them, Ash tries to ask them if their conscience bothers them at all. Afterward, Team Rocket attempts to run away, where Ash then sends out his Bulbasaur and tells it to use Vine Whip to trip Team Rocket. Soon after this, a battle ensues between Ash and Team Rocket with Ash retrieving Totodile from Jessie. After getting Totodile, Officer Jenny tells her Growlithe to go in and apprehend the three of them before James sends out his Weezing and tells it to use Sludge on Growlithe. Finishing up the battle and defeating Team Rocket once again, Totodile is returned to Professor Elm by Ash and friends.
Later that day, Nurse Joy registers Ash for the Johto League. Ash and his friends then leave New Bark Town, unaware of Jigglypuff, which follows after them.

- Towards the end, when Ash's Pokémon all attack at once, Bulbasaur uses Razor Leaf, but the sound for Vine Whip can be heard.
- When the plaster cast is made of Team Rocket's footprints, the prints are indents in the plaster, when really they should be protruding from the cast.
- In the scene where all Ash' Pokémon deafeated Team Rocket, Charizards wings are completly orange. In the next scene, their back to normal.
Dub edits
- Misty's claim that they may find another Pokémon like the one they saw in the woods was originally her wondering what the Pokémon was.
- Ash asking for a fee was in the dub only.
- Professor Oak's "They always call in the middle of my soap operas" line was originally just him saying "Hello, this is the Oak Laboratory."
- The dub omitted Professor Elm's mention that the starter trio Ash had with him are given out in Pallet Town.
- Ash mentioning Gary Oak was dub added.
- The dub implies that the Trainer that Totodile will receive is female, whereas the Japanese version doesn't state the gender of the Trainer picking up Totodile. Interestingly, later in the anime a female Trainer named Marina is seen with a Totodile she received from Professor Elm.
- Originally, Professor Elm doesn't specify when Totodile's Trainer would show up.
- In the European Portuguese dub, when Ash is naming the Kanto starters, he says Charizard instead of Charmander.

A two-run eighth inning double by Brian Harrison (2-4, 2B, 2RBI) lifted the Cyclones past Connecticut 2-0.
Marcos Camarena: 6 IP, 4 hits, bb, 7K.
Eric Beaulac: 2 IP, K
SS-R: @ Greenville Astros 13, Kingsport Mets 7
Domingo Tapia failed to get out of the first inning for the second time this season, but this time it was not because of an injury. Tapia recorded only two outs on the night, giving up six hits and five earned runs. He also walked one and struck out one.
Tapia's season totals: 2-4, 6.23 ERA, 26 IP, 33 hits, 7 bb, 15 k.
I saw Tapia throw in spring training and was impressed with his arm strength, but was concerned with the lack of a solid breaking ball. Even with a big fastball, Tapia has failed to miss bats this season, leading me to believe his secondaries need to be refined.
Good thing for Tapia is that he will not turn 20 until December.
The Kingsport defense didn't exactly help the cause, as they committed six errors.
SS-R: @ GCL Cardinals 2, GCL Mets 1

For parents, this time of year can feel like walking through a minefield, with ads, decorations and music all aimed at getting kids excited about the holidays. Every year children eagerly ask Santa for the "hottest," "must-have" toys – and then turn that "pester power" on their parents. Of course, few parents want to be Grinches – we all want to make our children happy – but there can be a middle ground between giving in to pester power and canceling the holidays altogether. Here are some tips on how to control holiday consumerism:

text: Through the use of visible light and existing telescopes, a detailed blueprint has been created to guide astrophysicists pursuing supermassive black holes on a collision course. Scientists pursuing supermassive black holes suspect that these giants merge somewhere in the universe roughly once a year, but they don't know how to find them. They think the evidence is hidden in the powerful gravitational waves and strong bursts of electromagnetic radiation created when the black holes collide. Astrophysicists at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore are tracing electromagnetic signatures back to the impact using computer models. They are creating a detailed blueprint that will guide other scientists searching for merging black holes using ordinary visible light and existing telescopes. Simulated models of these mergers also will aid the discovery of gravitational waves, proving Einstein's theory of general relativity. The team, led by Manuela Campanelli, director of the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation at RIT, has won a $2 million grant from the cyber-enabled discovery and innovation program of the National Science Foundation. Julian Krolik is leading the collaboration's efforts at Johns Hopkins, where he is a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Both institutions received $1 million for the five-year project. An artist's rendition of two spiral galaxies — each with supermassive black holes at their center — about to collide. The latest Chandra X-ray Observatory results suggest that such collisions may cause extreme black hole and galaxy growth in the early universe, setting the stage for the birth of quasars. (Image: NASA/CXC/M. Weiss) The scientists will use computer models to simulate what happens to an accretion disk — a doughnut-shaped ring of gas and dust — as a pair of black holes within it approach each other and merge. According to Campanelli, the surrounding gas and dust mixture is heated and will likely produce electromagnetic radiation — light — that could be detected by conventional telescopes such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, even before sufficiently sensitive gravitational wave telescopes are built. "By being able to model this for the first time in a realistic scenario, with realistic conditions, we should be able to predict signals of binary black hole mergers that can be seen in the electromagnetic sky," said Campanelli, associate professor in RIT's School of Mathematical Sciences. "It's a big deal because nobody has ever attempted a consistent and long-term project to model such a phenomenon." "The goal is to get a very accurate and consistent model of the electromagnetic emission from something that is also emitting strong gravitational waves," added Scott Noble, associate research scientist in the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation. "And I think the significance of the project is that we're doing this in a very careful, methodical way." "Our project will make use of combined expertise in the simulation of generic black-hole binaries with magnetohydrodynamics simulations to model the accretion disk physics during the last phases of the binary, when both space and time are very dynamical," said Yosef Zlochower, an assistant professor in the School of Mathematical Sciences and research faculty in the center. This will be no easy feat, according to Campanelli. The problem requires solving the equations describing the behavior of ionized gases threaded by magnetic fields along with the equations comprising Einstein's theory of general relativity. Looking at binary black hole mergers through complementary signals — gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves — introduces a new type of astronomy. "From the electromagnetic radiation, you can clearly determine direction," Campanelli said. "We'd be able to connect a lot of the physics happening within the gaseous environment and accretion disk to the binary black hole merger to the gravitational radiation. It will be multimessenger astronomy because it's electromagnetic combined with gravitational radiation." Krolik's team will model the premerger stage of the binary black holes using Newton's law of gravity to describe masses that are far apart. Campanelli's group will look at what happens when Newtonian physics breaks down and the black holes draw closer together and actually merge. Both teams will address the postmerger physics. "We want to marry the two regimes and use the far-field results to feed into the close-field results to get a consistent picture of how these systems evolved in time," Noble said. The multilayered problem describes various stages of the merger in gaseous environments. Both teams are trying to "connect the dots" in this massive problem that draws on gravitational radiation and magnetohydrodynamics, the theory that governs the dynamics of gas or plasma in strongly gravitating systems. The project brings together leaders in black hole research. Campanelli and team members Carlos Lousto and Zlochower announced a numerical breakthrough in 2005 that, for the first time, enabled calculation of how black holes merge, a task requiring large supercomputers. Krolik is known for his work on active galactic nuclei (single, very large black holes at the centers of galaxies that rapidly swallow surrounding gas), and is a leading expert in magneto-hydrodynamic theory, along with contributing scientists Jim Stone of Princeton University and John Hawley of the University of Virginia. "The effort is therefore strongly multidisciplinary because of the multiple kinds of expertise needed: numerical relativity; magnetohydrodynamical simulation; advanced computational techniques, including parallel computing; the use of very large data sets; scientific visualization and observational astronomy," Campanelli said. "It's a very challenging computational problem," she added. "It's huge. If you think of how complicated these black hole coalescences are without any gas or electric fields, you can imagine — when you add electromagnetic radiation and gas — that we will have very demanding simulations." Simulating the merger of binary black holes in gaseous environments requires access to considerable computer power. The RIT team will run the actual merger on its own computer, NewHorizons, and make use of additional resources. "The project will generate a much larger amount of data than we are currently generating," said Lousto, associate professor in the School of Mathematical Sciences at RIT. "Money allocated in the grant will add 200 TB of storage and processing power to the center's computer." The RIT-Johns Hopkins team also will make use of other resources such as the machine known as Blue Waters at the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications. The RIT team will also work closely with mathematics professors and Joshua Faber and John Whelan; postdoctoral researchers Hiroyuki Nakano and Bruno Mundim; and astrophysical sciences and technology graduate students Marcelo Ponce, Billy Vazquez, Prabath Peires and Ian Ruchlin. The scientific visualizations will be done in collaboration with Hans-Peter Bischof, graduate coordinator in the computer science department in the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences and member of the doctoral program in Computing and Information Sciences. For more information, visit: www.rochester.edu

The Devil Whale, a Salt Lake City quartet led by singer-songwriter Brinton Jones, is bringing their soulful brand of alternative rock n' roll to Richmond this Thursday at the Camel, and we are all more fortunate for it. Touring behind their most recent full-length, Teeth, The Devil Whale translate that album's high-quality production into the live environment with aplomb, delivering complex, mult-faceted, but always catchy tunes highlighted by Jones's memorable voice, which hits the sweet spot between the sincerity of Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and the virtuosity of the late, great Jeff Buckley. The Devil Whale have a lot to offer to RVA indie rock fans, and any who aren't at the Camel to experience their live performance will be kicking themselves.Read More
You Hear That?
"Golden" is a clinic in contrasting textures — the distorted guitar that kicks the song into gear with a fantastic ascending riff set against the shimmering high-frequency synth tones that come in soon afterward, the Rhodes-y keys that form a subtle backbone juxtaposed with arpeggiated guitar notes' shifting color and shape, verses that breathe comfortably leading into full-sounding choruses. Second track "Indian" shares many of the same qualities, adding a truly exuberant chorus — the kind of display that makes you want to clap along, even when you're driving and should probably be using your hands to safely operate your motor vehicle.Read More
The terrific Salt Lake City band, The Devil Whale, makes us feel as if we're out there amongst the great wilderness, with no idea about what's gonna happen next. We are drinking out of tin cups and ladles, we're wearing buffalo hides for coats and we're shooting and skinning bears to protect ourselves, sure, but also for the rug that's going to cover the floor of the den in our feeble wooden shack, in the middle of nowhere. Lead singer Brinton Jones has a singing style that brings to mind Jeff Tweedy doing Fleetwood Mac songs, or at least coming close to that mood and that place. He writes in a way that seems to tap into the complexities of what happens when we just want to have things flow evenly.Read More

Teeth is their sophomore effort and in my limited time with it, the band that always springs to mine when listening to them is Dr. Dog. The Devil Whale share the same knack of playing delightful psych-pop smothered in wonderful three piece harmonies.Read More
The Vinyl District - Live Review
Those dreamy chords I mentioned hearing from the bar? They belonged to The Devil Whale, a five-piece band from Salt Lake City. Their sound was a blend of folk and beach vibes. Let me try to articulate this. They've got these guitar lines that beg me to pack up the car and head over to Cali, but then they've also got these moments where they're just rocking out on their guitars, stomping around the stage, going to town with tambourines, and it reminds me of the music you hear in the countryside ... Everything's perfect about the stage set-up, right down to the lighting. These guys look like they're just your everyday guys, up there sharin' a little music. It's low-key, welcoming. And my god, their harmonies are so gorgeous.Read More
The Backstage Beat - Live Review
The Devil Whale opened the show, their first ever in Boston. The band, from Salt Lake City, had a cool SoCal alt rock vibe with folk elements. With appealing and brisk tracks, The Devil Whale absolutely killed it for their 30 minutes onstage. Brinton Jones' vocals wavered over the Pacific-coast-type lilts supplemented by bassist Jake Fish, drummer Cameron Runyan, guitarist Jamie Timm, and keyboardist Wren Kennedy.Read More
Icarus & Occident
The band took the stage with a fire that had never accompanied them before. Brinton approached the mic wielding a tambourine and announced that this was their first time at the Tractor Tavern and added, with a raised eyebrow, "it's been a long time coming." The room roared in response. Yes it had. The set found its pulse with a chilled, tambourine-led groove and, from that moment on, Brinton Jones, Jake Fish, Cameron Runyan, Jamie Timm, and Wren Kennedy did what they do best – the boys brought their ornate orchestrations to life with radiant, contagious energy. The tension built as the room awaited the approaching storm. And we weren't the only ones frozen in anticipation. Behind us, Bryan John Appleby. To our right, members of The Head And The Heart. It speaks volumes of a band's character when the local music community joins the celebration – and that they did. As we hoped, halfway through the set, the men of THATH jumped on stage and joined the chorus of "Magic Numbers," filling out the sound with smiling harmonies, bouncing claps and shimmering tambourines. There may have been some ass slaps mixed in for good measure. Good game, indeed.Read More

Dressed like your dad in the '70s and singing in close three-part harmony, The Devil Whale were more straight rock than any of this folk-rock stuff we've been messing around with lately. There was nary an acoustic guitar in sight. Instead two organs graced the stage, and the band played barn-burner after barn-burner while all the dudes in the audience enthusiastically nodded alongRead More

Flagstaff Live - Review
One of the best ways to describe their sound is "buoyant." Like listlessly floating fathoms above the ocean floor, there's the melancholy, the frustration and there's the sublime optimism of helplessness and letting go. Frontman Briton Jones' lyrics have been called a "literature of the heart," for the way he folds emotion into a four-minute tune with the precision of a classic author...Read More
SSG Music - Review
On The Devil Whale's second full-length album, Teeth, songwriter/frontman Brinton Jones and bandmates deliver a heartfelt, visceral experience akin to their classic garage and pop influences such as The Animals, The Kinks, and Harry Nilsson. Like a grand painting, songs are well-defined, yet open to interpretation.Read More
The Devil Whale is a great band out of Salt Lake City. The music they play is a blend of 60′s and 70′s era folk, garage, and pop. They self-released their new full length Teeth at the end of May. It's an excellent album as you can hear from the taste provided below, it has been on constant rotation since I got it.Read More

I'm not sure if it's possible to make a pop rock record that doesn't sound, well, familiar in some way. Listening to Teeth, the second release from Utah band The Devil Whale, I'm not sure if that's a bad thing, though. Teeth is a collection of tightly composed, infectious pop rock ... The band's energy and ear for catchy hooks don't hurt things either; tracks are inherently listenable. What's more, they're good.Read More

This Salt Lake City band's 2nd album is an impressive set of well-crafted folk-pop steeped in '60s psych-pop, '70s folk-rock and other classic sources. Produced by Seattle's Shawn Simmons (The Head and The Heart, Grand Hallway, The Maldives), the album is loaded with beautifully arranged songs blending crunchy guitars, prominent piano and other keyboards, warm harmonies and some gorgeous melodies.Read More
Visible Voice - Review
After one spin of Teeth I remembered why I was so floored the first time I'd heard it. Shimmering psych-pop that bounces with 60s/70s nostalgia, folky grit and rock n' roll swagger ... A complete album in both concept and execution and one of my favorite listens of the year so far.Read More

Brinton Jones isn't recovering from a flesh-eating disease. Jake Fish hasn't suffered spontaneous combustion, nor has he been killed in a bizarre gardening accident.Cameron Runyan has two arms, like the rest of us. Salt Lake City band The Devil Whale hasn't endured any behind-the-scenes horrors that makes for a particularly interesting backstory. What the quintet offers is a determination to become the hardest-working band in Utah, as well as to play some great songs.Read More

Nobody knows how to welcome home America's troops from a theatre of war like its most bombastic, fake political pundit.
In the first installment of a two-night special event dubbed "Been There: Won That: The Returnification of the American-Do Troopscape," Stephen Colbert employed Vice President Joe Biden as a hot dog vendor, stuffed the studio audience of active duty troops and vets full of beer and ice cream, and, most importantly, honored the service of the soldiers.
Politics were largely left aside during the evening's festivities, as Colbert declared that, "tonight is for the troops."
"I'm not going to debate this war," he said, in character. "It's been seven years. Who can remember who invaded who?"
Gen. Ray Odierno, the outgoing U.S. military commander in Iraq, sported a toupee of Colbert's hair, a reference to the famous haircut he gave the ill-informed pundit during "The Colbert Reports" visit to the troops in the war-torn nation last year.
Biden donned a baseball cap as he walked around the studio, passing out food. When summoned by Colbert, who said he didn't expect the vice president to serve hot dogs, Biden told him to check the constitution. In addition to breaking ties in the Senate, he said his other official duty was to hand out hot dogs to the troops.
While Colbert's shtick is to parody conservative talking heads, his strong support for the men and women in uniform has been nothing but genuine. He's raised significant amounts of money for the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a charity that provides assistance to injured troops and their families. He also serves on the board of DonorsChoose.org, which raises money for the education of children of parents in the military.
Colbert even produced a special "conflict analyst" for the evening, World War II vet and Yankees great, Yogi Berra. Colbert and Biden both agreed that while official combat operations are over in Iraq, there are troops still in harm's way.
To which Berra responded, "Stephen, it ain't over till it's over."

The economy: it sucks.
The weather: it sucks.
Traffic: sucks.
Taxes, healthcare, not having a job: suck, suck, suck.
The city of Galesburg, in Western Illinois, has had enough of the complaining.
So they banned it. For one day.
The Galesburg City Council designated Wednesday "No Complaint Day."
Mayor Sal Garza says a resident brought the idea to him because she was tired of the negativity about the economy, unemployment and other issues.
Garza says a positive attitude could help the city foster future economic development. He says businesses aren't interested in visiting a "cesspool of negativity." He says they're interested in locating in communities that are positive about the future.
But Garza says the day is mainly designed to help residents reflect on the good things in their lives, such as friends and family. That's partially why it falls on the day before Thanksgiving.
Geez, no complaint day is really going to suck.

Fight AIDS: Support Red
Akinyi, founder of Sherekea, an organization promoting African dance, culture, cuisine and life, was inspired to host her benefit to support the war against HIV/AIDS after she saw Bono on Oprah Winfrey's show, promoting the campaign.
(Akinyi wants everyone to support the "Product Red� campaign to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa).
In support of "Product Red� the campaign to raise resources to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa, a New York-based group is organizing a celebration after the Marathon next month.
The celebration party will be held from 5PM to midnight, Sunday, November 5, 2006, at Papillon Bistro & Bar located at 22 East 54 Street, between 5th and Madison Avenues, (212) 754-9006, says one of the organizers, Vivian Akinyi.
"Product Red,� was launched by the musician Bono in partnership with American Express, Gap, Converse and Giorgio Armani. The products include shoes, T-shirts, sunglasses and a credit card. When people buy these products, profits will support the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, malaria and TB. About 6,500 Africans die everyday from HIV/Aids while it is estimated about 9,000 more are infected.
Akinyi, founder of Sherekea, an organization promoting African dance, culture, cuisine and life, was inspired to host her event after she saw Bono on Oprah Winfrey's show, promoting the campaign. She scored a sponsor for the party and now wants people to attend the party, with no cover charge to get in, while supporting the Product Red campaign, by purchasing items from the companies involved in Bono's initiative. "The only thing we ask for is that people support this campaign by purchasing the Red Products—T-shirts, phones, sneakers, or anything associated with the campaign. As you know the profits will be donated to fight AIDS in Africa by helping people who can't afford medication.�
Akinyi adds: "Since it takes a village to raise a child we all should give whatever we can in the name of the global village.� There will be a live performance by African drummers at the November 5 benefit party and Akinyi promises to demonstrate some of her renowned African dance moves. "Come dressed appropriately—well prepared to move your hips,� she warns. Sherekea is a Kiswahili word meaning "celebration.�

Northeast California wildfire destroys 8 homes; nursing facility evacuated as precaution
BURNEY, Calif. – Authorities say a wildfire in northeast California that nearly quadrupled in size over the weekend has destroyed eight homes and prompted the precautionary evacuation of a small long-term care hospital.
U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Linda Tiffin says the fire burning in and around Lassen National Forest near the town of Burney had torched 36 square miles as of Sunday morning, up from 11 square miles a day earlier. The fire started Thursday and was not contained at all Sunday afternoon.
Officials at Mayer Memorial Hospital say they are evacuating their 49-bed annex in Burney and moving patients to a hospital in Redding, in case the flames get closer. The hospital's website says the annex serves patients with dementia and other conditions requiring skilled nursing services.
Residents of three small neighboring communities already have been ordered to evacuate.

Top O the Mornin'
BRADENTON, Fla. — Happy St. Patty's Day everyone. The Pirates are currently running through some bunt drills down on the field, wearing bright green hats in honor of today's holiday.
Had a fun drive here this morning. When I got to the huge Sunshine Skyway Bridge and saw the "Last exit before toll bridge" sign, I realized I didn't have any cash on me and only 75 cents in the cupholder. So, I had to exit and after about 4-5 miles of crawling through schools zones at 15 mph, I finally spotted a gas station where I could hit up the ATM.
So, I arrived at lovely McKechnie Field about 45 minutes behind when I would've been here otherwise. No worries, though, the Blue Jays team bus got here the same time I did — I had to stop to let Vernon Wells and Rod Barajas cross the street. Before I head down to the clubhouse for the beginning of the daily grind, here are…
Today's lineups:
TORONTO (7-11) at PITTSBURGH (6-12)
at 1:05 p.m. ET at McKechnie Field
David Eckstein, SS
Alex RIos, RF
Vernon Wells, CF
Scott Rolen, 3B
Frank Thomas, DH
Shannon Stewart, LF
Lyle Overbay, 1B
Aaron Hill, 2B
Gregg Zaun, C
PITCHING: RHP A.J. Burnett, LHP B.J. Ryan, RHP Brandon League, RHP Jeremy Accardo, RHP Lance Carter
Nate McLouth, CF
Jack Wilson, SS
Freddy Sanchez, DH
Jason Bay, LF
Adam LaRoche, 1B
Xavier Nady, RF
Ronny Paulino, C
Jose Bautista, 3B
Luis Rivas, 3B
PITCHING: LHP Zach Duke
There's that same Toronto lineup that Gibbons used the other day. The only difference is that Stewart is in the six hole instead of Matt Stairs. Could this be the vs. LHP lineup? I think this is the order Gibby is leaning toward using. We'll see come Opening Day.

I will be having a green beer or two tonight that's for sure!!!
I will honestly be shocked if Stewart takes Johnsons job away from him. What is the feelings around camp of who the front runner is? You have to think that Johnson is healthy after an off season dedicated to rehab and hopefully he is back to his 06 numbers. Saying that if he isn't the same Reed it's Stewarts job to win.
My opinion is, if Reed is healthy enough to play part time he should be the lefty portion of the platoon considering he is much much better on D than Stewart could dream of.
I like that lineup. It provides a good lot of speed at the top, and I like Rolen at 4th because he likely won't have a characteristic slow start like Thomas. The only thing I don't like is Aaron Hill so late in the order, but if he continues his good pace, Gibby can always switch him for, say, 6th.
Happy St. Patricks Day!!!
Personally, I would rather take Stewart. He's more suited for a platoon in this stage of his career then Reed is. Although, I am a bit indifferent to the whole thing though as I would rather see Matt Stairs play every day in left over platooning him with either of those guys. He's not bad on D, and he was arguably our best hitter last year over the entire season. (I know Rios was an all-star but check the numbers). Stewart is also supposed to make less $$ this year too which frees up more cap space for another starter as we could still use another quality number 5 starter in our division. On top of that, having a guy we only expect to be around for another year or 2 wouldn't be so bad for us with all the depth we have waiting in the minors at OF (Lind, Snider, and even Coats)
I got a fever…….and the only prescription is MORE MATT STAIRS!!!!!
I totally agree with tower_1980, No way Hill should be hitting 8th!! I would put him 6th, move Zaun up to 8th, and put either Reed or Stewart (whomever we take) in the 9th spot as a second leadoff as they both have decent wheels.
Interesting point by rockyourself – maybe it would be worthwhile to have a second leadoff a la Tony LaRussa. Who can argue with him…oh wait.
It's looking more and more like Stewart will be the right-handed hitting half of the left field platoon. It's too bad because I really like Reed and what he can bring. Having said that I do understand that after a season of little offense, why the jays would go with the guy that has generally had better offensive numbers in their career. On the field though it does leave potentially 2 weak spots on defense with Eckstein, Stewart or Stairs. If i'm one of the jays' pitchers i'd prefer the defense. I don't know how seriously people will take this but appearantly J.p. has said that if they are ever up by a run or 3 in the 9th that Eckstein will still be the shortstop. Sounds like a stupid strategy to me.
I like the look of that lineup, there is alot more speed at the top than in previous years. The top 4 hitters are all good baserunners and capable of stealing a few.
Personally, I don't think Hill has proven he can be a top of the order hitter yet. That could change quickly this year, but what a good problem it is to have so many solid hitters Hill may end up 6th or 7th in the lineup.
Hey Bass:
What daily grind are you talking about? Watching and reporting baseball everyday, drinking fresh orange and grapefruit juice daily, is pure heaven and don't you ever forget that — count your blessings before it's too late…
PINETARMAN: My blessings are counted daily. Always take my "daily grind" comments as sarcastic remarks 🙂 I can count the clouds in the sky today.
I have always wondered why Hill does not hit 9th instead of the catcher, I have always liked having extra speed at the bottom of the order so when the top comes around they have Hill on base instead of the catcher

A pet cat has been accused of launching a series of attacks across a village and putting residents and pets in hospital.
The black tom called Shiny has been nicknamed the ''Devil Cat" after being reported to the police fives times over its violent behaviour.
Locals say Shiny chases children, picks fights with dogs and even bursts into people's homes to claw and scratch them.
Its victims say they are so scared they retreat behind locked doors and arm themselves with hoses and mugs of hot tea whenever they see the black cat prowling the streets.
Despite being reported to the police officers are powerless to act because laws designed to combat dangerous dogs do not apply to cats.
Shiny's owners say they are trying to curb his behaviour and he has been neutered and booked in to see an animal psychologist.
But many residents in the Cornish village of Little Treviscoe want to see Shiny put down.
Victim Paula Burton, 42, was rushed to A&E in July after Shiny clawed her arms and legs. Miss Burton managed to fight him off but suffered bruising and cuts that required antibiotics.
Paula Burton was rushed to A&E after an encounter with Shiny (SWNS)
She said: "He was pestering my cat though the glass door and he suddenly jumped up at me and started attacking me.
"He was hanging off my arm by his claws. He eventually let go and ran away but I had to go to hospital as my arm had become quite swollen.
"I love cats and I'd never normally complain - but this animal is out of control."
Neighbour Carol Ballsdon said Shiny clawed her 90-year-old mother.
Carol said: "She had a large skin tear down the arm, which we had to dress every day for about three weeks, and two big puncture wounds on the back of her leg.
"It is just four sets of claws and a set of teeth coming at you."
Residents say the police and RSPCA have been contacted repeatedly but are unable to do anything legally.
They say they previously used water to shoo Shiny away but now resort to force.
Julia Terry, 43, said: "Twice when I've gone out to get my cat and it has attacked me. It launched off the fence and attached itself to my arm.
"I had to throw hot tea over it, it was the only way other than bashing it against the wall to get it off my arm."
As well as attacking humans Shiny has attacked other cats and dogs, leaving residents with costly vets bills.
Helen's Wade elderly cat was attacked a couple of weeks ago by Shiny, leaving the car with "gaping holes" to its side.
Helen, a 34-year-old carer, said: "We're living in misery - he's like a devil cat.
"We've had a fence and a gate put in in our front garden recently to try and stop him coming in, but he persists.
"The laws need to be changed so the same rules apply for cats as they do dogs. If a cat attacks a person, they should immediately be put down."
Helen's mum Shirley Wade, 72, another victim, added: "He was scratching at the door so I opened it slightly to shoo him away and he pounced on me and pinned me to the wall.
"My daughter heard me screaming and we managed to get him away but it was very scary."
Owners Mandie and Adrian Knowles, who live in the village with their three children, Jasmine, seven, Maisy, seven, and Poppy two, have had Shiny since he was a kitten.
Mandie, 32, a learning support student, said: "I know people had problems with Shiny before and he could be aggressive at times but since he's been neutered we've seen no signs of violent behaviour.
"He's an outdoor cat but will come inside and have his food around our two-year-old Poppy - we've never had any issues with our three children.
"These people must have done something for him to act that way. He wouldn't attack them out of the blue.
"We've had the police knocking on our door about five times, and have had the RSPCA here - it's getting ridiculous.
"When the RSPCA got here they came in and met Shiny and found no problem with him."
Mandie and Adrian called their local vets for advice when Paula Burton was attacked and were told to have Shiny neutered.
Adrian, 34, a dispatch supervisor, said: "We've taken the vets advice and had him neutered but we're not going to put him down when he's perfectly healthy.
"We've done everything we can and are even getting an animal psychologist around this weekend.
"But it's getting very unfair on Shiny. If we genuinely thought that this cat was attacking innocent people or children we would have him put down."

Razer has posted a teaser video of a upcoming release known as "Project Fiona." The trailer points to a new form factor for PC gaming. Could this be the Razer Switchblade that was at CES last year but never released?
The all-in-one portable gaming system is a cross between a Nintendo DS and the Optimus keyboard. If Project Fiona is the long awaited Switchblade, it'll be a great shot in the arm to mobile PC gaming. We checked out the Switchblade prototype last year at CES and were impressed with its touchscreen and customizable keyboard. It sports a seven-inch display and at the time, ran an Intel Atom processor.
It could also be the delayed Razer Blade 17-inch gaming laptop. Not as exciting at the Switchblade, but still a pretty sweet gaming rig. Razer will announce what Project Fiona is on January 10 at CES. [PC Gaming Is Not Dead via The Verge]
