From medieval churches to jazz bars, and art galleries to family trattorias, Bologna is a user-friendly city that's full of things to do.
While just walking through the arcaded streets of the old town is fascinating in itself, Bologna's centre also has beautiful monuments such as the four linked churches of San Stefano and the skewed medieval turrets of the Due Torri. Bologna's red brick centre is home to excellent, good value restaurants, speciality food shops like Pasta Fresca Naldi, one-off art and craft galleries and charming old bars including Osteria L'Infedele, while the streets surrounding the university, northeast of the old town, are full of younger drinkers socialising into the early morning.
For local specialities, try Via Caprarie's Tamburini, a food shop specialising in regional Emilian delicacies that also has a self-service restaurant at the back. Crete – Piece Unique in Via Del Guidei sells one-off ceramics and other artworks made by local artists, while for something a little more offbeat, Fondazza's Magica New Age sells unusual jewellery mixed with crystals, lucky charms and other New Age paraphernalia.
The Santo Stefano religious complex in Bologna's old city contains four early medieval churches grouped around a quiet cloister. Piazza Maggiore is Bologna's arcaded central square, home to the elaborate renaissance Neptune fountain. You'll find out more about the city's past at the Museum of the History of Bologna, while the Due Torri, the leaning remnants of the many towers that dotted medieval Bologna, have excellent city views from their tops.
Women from three generations cook at Via Pratello's Pasta Fresca Naldi a small restaurant and shop that serves local pasta dishes such as fresh tortelloni and orecchiette with broccoli. Affordable Cinque 50 in Via Goito dishes up local classics including Parma ham with melon and smoked tuna carpaccio. For something more high end, Ristorante Garganelli, housed in the Savoia Hotel Regency, has been serving classic Bolognese cuisine since the 1960s. For ice creams and sorbets, try the homemade creations at Sorbetteria Castiglione, in the street of the same name.
Vanilia & Comics is a quirky café bar with that doubles as a drinking place and comic shop. Locomotiv Club is a live music venue and nightclub that hosts some of the best, edgiest live music concerts in the city, while Osteria L'Infedele is a more low key, traditional-looking bar lined with vintage adverts, where drinks are served to a soundtrack of jazz and blues.

Someone very wise said it first: "We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us."
If we're acquainted, you've heard me say on more than one occasion that I'm lucky to live where I do. I am much more likely to run out of years than I am to run out of beautiful adventures within reach.
It took the most of two full days to travel and photograph a scant sixty miles straight up and straight down on Colorado's Alpine Loop. The switchbacks and drop-offs on this route between Lake City and Ouray are notable. The path to summit is one-lane and two-directional, requiring vigilance and foresight, plus a keen ability to back a vehicle onto the only available ledge that is broad enough to allow travel in both directions.
I would not consider myself a thrill-seeker, but in two days of travel on the Loop, abundant thrills found me. I saw a moose in the willows of Wager Gulch, a clan of marmots playing at the top of Engineer Pass and a developing wildflower show in American Basin. I heard wind hissing through the remnants of a mining camp and felt the shallow press of breath in a short hike above tree line. And I learned to lean into the jolts and bumps of the road, just as if I were on horseback.
We took a detour up Schaeffer's Gulch, alternating stops to heave boulders to fill in deep road ruts with other stops to roll away boulders blocking the path. This side trip was halted at tree line, where snow still covered the road on a north-facing slope. At elevation, the June sun is near and will soon transform the drift. But for now, it caused a turnabout.
In the end, the only casualty of this high, slow creep of an adventure was a torn-up arm earned in a spill I took as I explored one of the ghost camps. Saved the camera, but bashed the arm. Far worth it, for the experience.
Also earned, I must say, was the great satisfaction of knowing I hadn't allowed fear to completely distract from the pleasure of my journey :-).
I hope you enjoyed the ride.

It's A Matter of Life and Death: End-of-Life Identity Protection Tips
End-of-life planning doesn't begin and end with purchasing life insurance. To ensure that your family isn't victimized by identity theft after you or a loved one dies, experts recommend that everyone take the following the precautions:
1. Use your power. As executor of your loved one's estate, you can notify the three major credit bureaus that the person is deceased, get copies of their credit files, and ask that the credit reports be shut down. All it requires is proof that you are the executor and a certified copy of the death notice. This will prevent anyone from using the decedent's name to obtain credit. Quickly familiarize yourself with a schedule of the deceased's accounts so you can protect the estate.
2. Suppress the deceased's credit file. Have on hand a certified copy of the death notice and proof you are the executor when notifying the three major credit bureaus. Make sure the surviving spouse can continue to have access to credit and bank accounts.
3. Secure documents. Make sure identity documents are secure. Keep your birth certificate, passport and the like in a bank safe deposit box. Keep all important records in a locked file cabinet, and make sure that your spouse or someone else you trust has a spare key. These basic precautions will help protect you while you're living, and protect your family's financial well-being after you've passed away.
4. Store a legal will in a safe, locked location in your home, in a safe-deposit box, and on file with an attorney. Alert heirs as to where and how to access the will.
5. Secure relatives' personal information before illness or diminished capacity occurs. Mentally impaired relatives should not have unchecked access to their own information.
6. Beware of scam artists who may attempt identity theft years after the estate has been dispersed.

I was honored that Jeremiah Grossman asked me to serve again on the panel for the Top 10 Web Hacking Techniques of 2012. During the process, I get to take a look at the year's most interesting research in greater detail than what is normally allowed in my day-to-day schedule. It makes me question what I thought I knew about existing attack techniques and how this year's top research reflects on the industry.
Ranking the entries is challenging when you are comparing an SSL cryptography bug vs. the server side request forgery attacks vs. attacks against Chrome add-ons. To do so, requires that you read the full research, review the source code that was written and try to determine what impact the research had on the community. I typically start by considering factors such as:
- Is the research completely new or is it just an incremental improvement of a known issue?
- How many end-users are impacted?
- Is this an individual bug affecting one vendor or an industry-wide issue?
- What does successful exploitation yield (XSS, file access, OS control, etc.)?
- Is the exploit practical to conduct?
- What was the depth of research (a white paper, a tool, etc.)?
- Extra points for style or creativity?
Reviewing the research to this depth then leads to uncovering smaller bits that are interesting in their own right. For instance, the Blended Threats and JavaScript research leveraged HTML5 to create cross-site file upload capabilities. You will find links to tools that back up the research in entries such as Blended Threats, Attacking OData, Bruteforcing PHPSESSID, and the Chrome add-on research. In some cases, the research reminds you about how many of the old tricks can be re-purposed against new technologies.
As an example, in July, 1998 Microsoft issued security bulletin MS98-004 which allowed, "Unauthorized ODBC Data Access with RDS and IIS". In 1999, new information was published regarding the bug and Bugtraq ID 529 said exploiting the vulnerability could result in, "obtaining access to non-public servers or effectively masking the source of an attack on another network". Today, we would classify this type of attack as, "Server Side Request Forgery" (SSRF). Modern SSRF attacks can include both old and new attack techniques. For instance, the ERPScan paper discussed how to use the gopher: protocol in an XML External Entity to attack SAP gateways. Over a decade later, we now have a formal taxonomy for classifying these types of bugs. However, the core issue of effectively sandboxing a web application to a finite set of resources is not much easier than it was 15 years ago. If anything, it has become more difficult as the number of supported communication channels between endpoints has increased.
Finally, you begin to think about why these top 10 bugs are critical to the industry. The panel ranked,"Compression Ratio Info-leak Made Easy" (CRIME) in the top slot due to the overall difficulty of the research, the vendor action required to address it, and the importance of SSL to the security ecosystem. As we move more data to the cloud where we will access it via our mobile or tablet devices, we will increasingly rely on SSL to protect it in transmission. Another interesting trend in this year's top list was the multiple SSRF entries. As I mentioned, it wasn't a completely new concept but rather a concept that is seeing a renewed interest as more data moves to the cloud. There were three SSRF entries in the Top 15 and the SSRF entry that was ranked number 2 includes research by two separate groups. As our dependence on cloud storage grows, SSRF will become an increasingly used attack vector for reaching all the critical data that lies behind those front end cloud servers.
As everyone reviews the Top 15, I encourage you to find time to read through each entry. The final list represents great information by talented researchers. Also, I would recommend sharing the list with your engineers. When I shared the Top 15 list with our internal Adobe community a few months ago, I can attest that at least one developer recognized a flaw that existed in his system and corrected the issue. Thanks to Jeremiah Grossman for putting this together each year and allowing me to be a part of it.

Small Man Organ Care: Avoiding Unwanted Depreciation
It's something everyone has heard, but it's not always drowning: It's not the size of a wand but a miracle in it that counts. However, men still prefer to have large male organs rather than small ones, even as their current equipment works very well and gives pleasure to their partner. While maintaining an adequate member's health is on the most men's list, so make sure no shrinking happens to their most important organ. But is it something that men need to really worry about? Small Man Organ Care: Avoiding Unwanted Depreciation
The answer is yes.
Firstly, if a man is already comfortable with his maturity and knows he is an expert in using it, he is less likely to pay attention to his size. Even if he has what might be considered a small organ organ (and not just by comparison with unrealistic monsters paraded on the screen of so many adult videos), if he is satisfied with the work he produces, he will easily be free of the size comparison curse constant and worry.
But many men feel that their masculinity is closely related to the size of their members, and for these men, the possibility of losing (or apparently losing) even the slightest may be a concern. So for these people, what are some possible causes of male organ shrinkage? Small Man Organ Care: Avoiding Unwanted Depreciation
– Age. Sorry to say it, but the reality is most men experience shrinkage as they get older. Not a few inches, but losing half an inch or more over time is unusual. This usually happens because of the loss of male hormones. As people age, their male hormone production generally declines, affecting its firmness and at the same time. Staying active and fit helps keep the male hormones, but so does the frequent release of the seeds – so keeping the sensual activity (either alone or with a partner) can help reduce shrinkage.
– Weight. The problem of obesity continues to grow in our society, and one of the side effects is that it can cause the shrinking of the male organ. Not that the maturity actually becomes smaller, but excessive weight can depress the center of the body, causing the bottom of the member to be covered in fat. Thus, there is a little shaft that really shows, making the organ appear shorter.
– Smoking. Smoking is just bad news for health in general, but it can specifically add to the misery of a small male organ. How? Smoking can cause calcification of the blood vessels, including those in adulthood. When this happens, the limb tissue is reduced in size. (This can also cause itchy dysfunction – another reason for breaking the buttocks habits.)
– Dehydration Just as smoking can affect tissue saturation, resulting in a lack of water. Dehydrated network contract, and when it happens to members, the size of the member itself also contracts.
Men who worry about the size of their male organs can take simple steps to help maintain their current length. Exercise, proper diet, stay hydrated, stop smoking and regularly release seeds can all help.
Avoiding shrinkage can help avoid small man organs, but regardless of size, maintaining healthy maturity is essential. For that, using a first-class healthcare program (health experts recommend Man1 Man Oil,> which is clinically proven to be mild and safe for the skin) is essential. Because hydration can be a problem, choosing crème with the right skin moisturizer is recommended; Look for creme that includes at least two, such as Shea butter (emollient high-end) and vitamin E (natural hydrator). And active members tend to suffer peripheral nerve damage due to its rough handling (if pleasurable). Use crème with acetyl L carnitine, an amino acid that protects against the damage, to help prevent the loss of a devastating sensation in adulthood.

RICHMOND — As shock spread Thursday about the arrest of a Richmond middle school teacher suspected of child sexual abuse, questions followed about how he landed a new teaching job at a public school even as police were investigating him on allegations that he had abused students from his previous school.
Ronald Guinto, 32, was fired by Richmond charter school Making Waves Academy in November after students came forward claiming the teacher had abused them. In early January, Guinto began teaching at Mira Vista Elementary School in East Richmond Heights.
Officials from the West Contra Costa Unified School District admitted Thursday that, while they ran mandated fingerprint and criminal background checks on Guinto, they did not call his previous employer to do a reference check because he was already on the district's approved list of substitute teachers.
Richmond police had been investigating Guinto since he was fired in November, but they were not aware until Tuesday that he had been hired as a teacher at Mira Vista. Once detectives learned he was working with children, they sped up their investigation, obtained an arrest warrant and the next day searched homes in Vallejo and El Sobrante where he has lived.
The seventh-grade English and science teacher was being held Thursday on 11 counts of lewd acts on a child under 14 years old, two counts of forced oral copulation and one count of assault with intent to commit sodomy, Richmond police Lt. Andre Hill said.
Police say the alleged abuse happened off campus on multiple camping trips. Six Making Waves students, all boys ages 11 to 13, have reported abuse to police, Hill said.
Guinto, who police say was aware of the criminal investigation when he applied for his new job, was arrested before the start of classes Wednesday morning in the school's parking lot. Investigators were surprised to learn he had been hired as a teacher considering the nature of the investigation, Hill said.
"That's something that the school district has to answer to," he said. "It makes you wonder how much of a background and reference check they did."
Schools are required to report a firing such as Guinto's to the state's Commission on Teacher Credentialing, but the state agency can only suspend a teacher's credential once a teacher is charged with a sex crime. An arrest or police investigation do not reach that threshold.
Administrators at Mira Vista declined to comment Thursday. The school hired Guinto on Jan. 6, records show, and there have been no allegations that Guinto abused students there.
Guinto had listed his employment at Making Waves Academy on his resume, but West Contra Costa officials said no one called the charter school because Guinto was considered a rehire. Guinto worked in several West County schools as a substitute from 2008 to 2011, when he left to join Making Waves. The charter school is not governed by the West County district.
A fingerprint check of Guinto in December showed no criminal history, and officials said even if references were called, information about any criminal investigation of Guinto would have been difficult for the district to obtain.
"He was in good standing with us as a sub, so technically, his best reference would've been us," said district spokesman Marin Trujillo. "It's also hard to get information, because very little can be said during a reference check. Very little can be asked of the references by the employer."
The Mt. Diablo school district in central Contra Costa does reference checks on all candidates. The district also began adding Google searches on prospective employees to its hiring protocol after members of the public found in online searches that a board-approved hire had been arrested for driving under the influence and had breached the security of students in another state by inadvertently posting their personal information online. He later withdrew his application.
"The fact that (the WCCUSD) failed to do a reference check of this teacher brings to light not only the lack of responsibility the district showed," said San Francisco-based attorney Marc Lewis, who represents an 11-year-old boy seeking damages against Joseph Martin, formerly a teacher at Woodside Elementary School in a well-publicized child sex abuse case in Concord.¿ "But it belies a complete lack of common sense. … It shows tremendous neglect."
Charles Ramsey, the president of the West Contra Costa school board, said he will propose at next week's board meeting that the district conduct reference checks on rehires as well as new hires.
"No matter what, we need to do a reference check on everybody," he said. "I'm going to recommend that we change our policy and make it clearer."
Investigators were working with prosecutors to charge Guinto on Thursday. They believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward. Besides teaching in Contra Costa County, Guinto also founded a youth camp in his native Vallejo about five years ago, according to the Vallejo Times-Herald. A Vallejo police watch commander said Thursday that he was not aware of any investigation by his department into Guinto or his organization, called Camp EPiC.
Guinto, who is on administrative leave from his teaching job, was in custody Thursday at the County Jail in Martinez in lieu of $1.4 million bail. He declined a request by the Bay Area News Group for an interview.
"Our first priority is the safety and well-being of our students," Making Waves CEO Alton Nelson said in a statement released by the academy Thursday. "We brought allegations to the police's attention and notified our community as soon as they came to light."

We saw the 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3' Jeep Wrangler when it was quietly unveiled at the Woodward Dream Cruise in August. Now we're seeing the ad that'll accompany the special edition four-wheeler — and I think both gaming and Jeep fans alike will think it's simply epic.
Maybe it's because I'm not picking up my copy of 'Modern Warfare 3' until after work, but after seeing this awesome Jeep Wrangler ad — and the hilarious Jonah Hill/Sam Worthington ad from this weekend — I'm positively geeked to play this later today.
Why do I feel like I won't be sleeping very much — or at all — tonight?

Glad You Asked: Have Vatican II's teachings been fully received?
This 2003 Glad You Asked examines an issue that still concerns many Catholics today: the various reactions to the spirit of the Second Vatican Council.
Vatican II closed its sessions nearly four decades ago. Anyone who remembers the church before the council knows that the church has been radically changed in everything from the ways we worship to the opportunities for lay ministry and access to advanced theological study. In that broad sense, the church has received the spirit of Vatican II. This reception, however, has come with a certain painful price for some who pine for the good old days.
Catholics of a certain age found it hard to see usages and customs hallowed by time swept away in a very short period. Popular devotions seemed to go in decline, ways of receiving the sacraments and even their names were changed. The lines of authority seemed less clear.
People openly challenged church practice, raising qoestions that simply would have been unthinkable a generation before the council: Why can't women receive Holy Orders? Why is artificial contraception intrinsically evil? What are we to do about divorced and remarried Catholics? Many of these and similar questions are openly debated to this day.
History tells us that after every council there is a period of confusion and strife. The Council of Trent did not solve the fissures brought about by the Reformation, and there were schisms after Vatican I. The reason the changes have been wrenching for some of us is that we are not reading about them in history books but are living them--except for those who were born after the council, like the students I teach every day.
So how has Vatican II been received? For a small but vocal minority, with reluctance. Another small but vocal minority grumbles with impatience because change has been too minimal. Those minorities define the extremes.
The vast majority of Catholics have received the council well and many of its changes have been welcomed. For all of the confusion the reforms have caused, who would argue that a broader ecumenism, a vernacular liturgy, more lay involvement, a greater emphasis on social justice, or a larger voice for lay people has been a bad thing?
One clear indicator of how Vatican II has opened the church can be seen in the way in which ordinary lay people have given voice to needed reforms in the wake of the sexual abuse scandal and its bungled handling by many members of the hierarchy.
Has the teaching of Vatican II been fully received? How would we know the answer to that question? The Catholic tradition always tries to conserve the gospel message without allowing the way that message gets transmitted to be frozen into a museum piece. Today we still try to do that, confident that "the Spirit helps us in our weakness" (Rom 8:26).

A new statewide poll shows most people in North Carolina favor some type of gun control.
Elon University released its poll on Monday saying 93% of those surveyed endorse background checks for everyone buying a gun, while 56% favor banning the sale of semi-automatic assault rifles.
The university interviewed 891 people last week in the telephone poll, which has a margin of error or 3.28%.
Elon says the poll also found 55% of those questioned favor limiting the number of rounds in clips or magazines, while 83% want a waiting period before people can buy a handgun.
The university says while the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting has influenced gun control attitudes, some gun control measures haven't changed much since their last poll on the subject nearly 3 years ago.

Britchick needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
5 winners were selected from 203 designs submitted by 56 freelance designers.
WORLD RAFIKI SAFARIS (http://www.worldrafiki.com)
In the Swahili language, "RAFIKI" means friend or friends.
We are a start-up company that will be offering custom-designed safari tours (bespoke safaris) in the beautiful nation of Tanzania, the home of the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Mount Kilimanjaro, to name just a few of the country's spectacular locations.
Unlike other safari companies, all of our guests will have the vehicle to themselves (i.e., private guided safari), will set their own itinerary, and will keep the same informative guide for their entire trip. Our guides really are the best trained in the industry and can provide more of an educational/naturalist experience than the guides of many other companies. We are also very much eco-aware, unlike some of the other companies who don't seem to care about the animals' boundaries or the natural environment. We believe in low-impact tourism and high-quality game viewing. That is the reason behind our comapny name - we are true friends of the world...
We will also include unique and authentic cultural experiences such as village tours and visits to the bush men tribe who rarely receive tourists. We will not take our guests to the tourist trap villages.
Finally, we will be able to offer scuba diving experiences on the offshore islands of Zanzibar and Memba.
The existing market of discerning world travellers. These are middle and upper middle class Americans and Europeans with money to spend on safaris and exotic vacations, which can be expensive. Some of them will already have been on safari. They tend to be doctors, lawyers, business owners, entrepreneurs, and other highly educated and successful individuals.
Usually (but not always), they are in the 40 to 60 age range.
We also wish to attract the first-time safari goer, so it is important to us that our logo captures the Africa of peoples' imaginations.
Most safari companies include a safari animal in their logo, but the problem with that approach is that all the common animals -- lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, antelopes, etc. -- have already been used. In addition, we believe most of those logos are quite unoriginal and boring. (Some examples of those logos are attached.)
Also attached are our first attempts at a logo which we have rejected. The problem with these are that the beetle is a negative, because it may imply to some that Africa is full of cockroaches and other horrible insects! The other issue was that the palm tree and the map of Africa was not particularly interesting or unique. It looked a bit gimmicky/cartoonish to us.
We want something that is simple, classy, and speaks of African nature. For example, one idea we had was the silhouette of an an Umbrella Acacia tree, silhouetted by the setting sun on the Serengeti Plain. But we don't want to restrict ourselves to just one idea, and that might also be considered boring and unoriginal!
Finally, we don't want a tribes person depicted in our logo, because that has been done before and it is not what we're really about. We're about the nature experience.

KUED Airs Academy Award Nominated Documentary About AIDS Activists
Press Release
How To Surivive A Plage tells the story of two coalitions, ACT UP (AIDS Coatilion to Unleash Power) and TAG (Treatment Action Group), whose fearless activism and innovation turned AIDS from a death sentence into a manageable condition. Despite having no scientific training, these self-made activists infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time. With unfettered access to a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and '90s, filmmaker David France puts the viewer smack in the middle of the controversial actions, heated meetings, heartbreaking failures, and exultant breakthroughs of heroes in the making. The film premieres on KUED, Monday, December 30 at 11:00 p.m.
In the dark days of 1987, the country was six years into the AIDS epidemic, a crisis that was still being largely ignored by government officials and health organizations — until the sudden emergence of the activist group ACT UP in Greenwich Village. Largely made up of HIV-positive participants who refused to die without a fight, they took on the challenges public officials had ignored, raising awareness of the disease through a series of dramatic protests. More remarkably, they became recognized experts in virology, biology, and pharmaceutical chemistry. Their efforts would see them seize the reins of federal policy from the FDA and NIH, force the AIDS conversation into the 1992 presidential election, and lead the way to the discovery of effective AIDS drugs that saved countless lives.
First-time director and award-winning journalist David France, who has been covering the AIDS crisis for 30 years, culls from a huge amount of archival footage — most of it shot by the protestors themselves. Interspersed with contemporary interviews, the film is not just a historical document, but also an intimate and visceral re-creation of the period through the personal stories of some of ACT UP and TAG's leading participants. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary, How To Surivive A Plague captures both the joy and terror of those days, and the epic day-by-day battles that finally made AIDS survival possible.

To the average person - which we define as anyone who is aware of Star Wars, but cannot readily identify Plo Koon or Ponda Baba and has never tried writing their name in Aurebesh - the upcoming Blu-ray box set of all six "Star Wars" films probably smacks of just another cash-in. But what's worse, even the hardcore faithful may have a tough time working up the enthusiasm for yet another copy of the "Star Wars" movies to line up next to their multiple laser disc, VHS, and standard DVD copies.
Well, fanboys - you'd better dust off a slot, because the Blu-ray just made itself a must-have.
In this new teaser trailer, which debuted at San Diego Comic Con, we see just what this new version is packing apart from a high-def transfer of the movies. There are a slew of deleted scenes included, many of which have been talked and written about endlessly but never actually seen.
Like Luke Skywalker actually constructing his new lightsaber, which was supposed to be the opening scene of "Return of the Jedi."
The legendary "sand storm" scene, where the gang (Luke, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando Calrissian) fight through a blinding dust bowl to regroup after the big rescue from Jabba the Hutt's palace.
Not to mention the "Wampa rampage" scene that was supposed to be a big action sequence from "The Empire Strikes Back." Remember that big, hairy, white, polar-bear-like monster that almost eats Luke? Well, several more of them were supposed to be imprisoned in the rebel base and let loose by C-3PO and R2-D2 during the raid by Darth Vader, mauling several unsuspecting Storm Troopers.
Is this a bunch of minutiae that takes more time to explain than to watch? Sure. Is it the kind of stuff geeks obsess over? Absolutely. But when you have a franchise that has been so exhaustively picked over for nearly 40 years, anything new is worth celebrating.
And, again, it's "Star Wars" in 1080p. You're excited. The box set arrives September 16th.

Oyez! Oyez! Give attention to all those who enters the King's court!
Did you ever wonder what really happened when a young lady killed her newborn, a knight killed a man when not in battle, or a child killed his friend? Was there such a thing as self-defense in the 15th century? Pao Hu Tso, a member of Silverhorde, Kingdom of Atlantia, has researched and documented the proceedings, function, and outcomes of actual court cases from the 14th and 15th centuries As Royal Judge of the proceedings, Tau led an audience on Friday through the court process, the conviction, and of course the sentencing of four actual persons of the time.
William of Three Towers, a boy of age 12, was charged with beating his play friend to death. Ramona II (playing Joan), was charged with murdering her infant son with a knife. Lady Tso Wen Chi (Emma), faced the court to claim that knights of the kingdom not only stole from her but also killed her husband. To defend himself, John hit another with a 'baculum', whence he died. Lord Mungu Chinua (John), and his counterparts creatively prepared personas with motives and backstories, to give more realistic understanding of their lives.
The audience was able to join in the fun and be part of the jury. As it happens they discovered that William's family tried to bribe the coroner to hush up the boy's death. Emma was paid her husband's life's wages for his death. Joan was sentenced with traveling the town with wax and a knife to show everyone her crime and how she committed it. And, self-defense was alive and well in the 15th century as John was promptly pardoned.
Mundanely John Summerville is a law professor and retired Army. His interest in medieval law and courts has been a part of his studies for a very long time. He uses the cases you will hear in the courses he teaches to graduate students.
Looking to future Wars, Tso would like to teach the class again, with a continued development of authenticity and audience participation.

Here is another interesting post which I came across today – "Stripped-down" open source ESBs still solid middleware engines
Open source seems to be everywhere!
Here is an interesting exercise which you can try:
- Think of top 20 (or top 50) software product brand – do not count versions or variant separately – example Windows OS is one
- Classify them as Proprietary vs. Open Source
- Also Classify them as Last Millennium vs. This Millennium – Use the first popular release as the date – example Windows 3.0 (1990)
- Fill the names in the following 4 quadrants – I have put few names (my dates may be debatable) – you can fill-up the rest

Well this next tutorial is going to be on a brighter note because it's on a character from Cartoon Network. I mean come on, I couldn't have all grim looking characters on the site today right? For my next tutorial I will be showing you "how to draw Bubbie" from Flapjack, step by step. Flapjack is an American animated cartoon series that airs on Cartoon Network. It is about a young naive blond headed boy that wants to one day live an exciting life as told by his friend and mentor Captain K'nuckles. Flapjack would absolutely love to go on adventures on the open sea but his seragent mother Bubbie wants him to stay clear of Captain K'nuckles because she believes he is nothing but a bad influence. Now Bubbie is a talking sperm whale who tries to raise her human son the best she can. She does this by giving him plenty advice that neither he nor she follows. Bubbie always tells Flapjack to stay clear of the open sea and live a more "safe" life so that he won't get into any danger. But no matter how much advice Bubbie gives Flapjack, he goes his own way and continues to get in trouble on a daily basis with Captain K'nuckles. The cartoon series has become a more hilarious show the more I watch it. This tutorial will show you "how to draw Bubbie" from Flapjack step by step. The easy instructions will show you how simple it is to draw Bubbie with no effort at all. I will be back later with more drawing fun so stay tuned gang.

Surveys classics of Western literature in their cultural context. The course is divided into three parts, each focused on one of the genres featured in the course title. The first section of the course considers the sweep of drama from its earliest religious and ritual context (Oedipus the King) to works that reflect a culture adrift from its moorings (Waiting for Godot). The second section presents poetry as a "rediscovering of common experience," beginning with William Shakespeare's sonnets and moving through William Blake, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Robert Frost and Adrienne Rich. In the third part of the course, a survey of narrative literature, students read and discuss authors such as Charles Dickens, Emily Bront�, Herman Melville, Franz Kafka and Alice Walker.

As winter's first big snow melted, the Rev. Ronald Mass walked outside and made an unsettling discovery at the parish Nativity scene late last month: Baby Jesus had been replaced by a stuffed animal.
"That I found offensive," said Mass, a priest at Incarnation Parish in Palos Heights, a suburb of Chicago.
Upset but not surprised at the antics, Mass sent a message through the church bulletin, asking for the return of the figurine.
U.S. & World
No luck.
Then he laid a guilt trip so widespread it couldn't be ignored.
Posted for the untold thousands of passing motorists on 127th Street to consider was a simple message on the church marquee: "Whoever stole our baby Jesus, please bring Him back."
"I guess they did," Mass said.
On Thursday, after several weeks missing in action, the statue was returned, unharmed, on a sidewalk outside the rectory.
"Whoever does this thinks it's a fashionable prank," Mass said, adding a word of caution to future pranksters: The church is trying to secure a GPS tracking system for future nativity scenes.
"I'm delighted to have him back," Mass said of the estimated $165 figurine. "But I'm not going to be grateful to the guys who stole him for bringing it back."

Gophers Go Overtime To Win
NEW YORK (AP) — Substitute center Maurice Walker made six free throws in overtime and Minnesota held off Florida State 67-64 on Tuesday night to reach the NIT championship game.
Austin Hollins and DeAndre Mathieu scored 17 points apiece for the Golden Gophers (24-13), who overcame Devon Bookert's tying 3-pointer at the end of regulation. They will play Thursday night against fellow top seed SMU in a title game that certainly features a New York flavor on the sidelines.
Minnesota coach Richard Pitino, of course, is the son of former Knicks and current Louisville coach Rick Pitino. He'll go up against Hall of Famer Larry Brown, who was born in Brooklyn and coached the Knicks himself long before taking over the Mustangs.

Fig trees
A hardy Fig tree can be grown against a wall or in a container. Fig trees are very precocious and will start to fruit within a year or two. Fig trees produce their tiny fruits directly on the stems, between the large leaves. Fig trees need no pollinators and actually prefer a poor soil to fruit well. A sunny aspect for your Fig tree will promote the best fruit. In such an aspect you can harvest a Brown Turkey fig for most of the summer. The leaves of a Fig Tree are very large and lobed almost tropical looking! Although it isnt necessary, you can also grow Fig trees in a greenhouse or conservatory. The White Fig tree White Marseilles is a popular variation with extra sweet fruits. But it is the Brown Turkey Fig tree that remains the most popular. Brown Turkey is the most reliable variety. Fig trees dont have to be grown as trees and can be kept quite small, or grown in a 20 container. Dont feed your Fig tree too much for the most fruit. Further cultivation hints on growing Fig trees and Fig plants can be found in our cultivation guide.

MWC coaches rally around ousted colleague at Wyoming
The first hint that the end was near for Wyoming basketball coach Heath Schroyer came on the Mountain West coaches weekly teleconference. Unprompted, opposing coaches spoke of what a good job Schroyer had done with numbers limited by injuries.
Indeed, Wyoming did everything but pull out the wins against Colorado State and BYU over the past week.
As CSU coach Tim Miles pointed out, reserve Pierce Hornung willed the Rams to a win. Last week, BYU needed everyone's All-America Jimmer Fredette to put away the Cowboys in the final minute.
Miles and I had lunch Monday, mostly to background an upcoming story on Travis Franklin. At that time he was concerned about Schroyer. When I texted the news, he replied "Ugh"
As a football assistant told me recently, coaching is a big fraternity. Coaches with jobs will always rally around a colleague whose job is on the brink.
So it wasn't too shocking when I read the email late in the afternoon that Schroyer was out, effective immediately.
There were two mild surprises. First, athletic director Tom Burman gave up one game into the second round of MWC play. Not a good message to the players. Second, Burman gave Schroyer a pat on the back heading out the door for having an exemplary APR. Nearly four years ago, an unsatisfactory APR was cited in the decision to oust Steve McClain.
Some may recall Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn cited an improving academic progress rate in the ill-fated decision to keep Dan Hawkins going into 2010.
Obviously, Schroyer failed to win, starting 1-8 in league play, 16-41 career in the MWC. He had a high-risk, high-reward approach to recruiting with an international base.
The most obvious number that went unmentioned in the press release was attendance. The highlight of a Laramie winter traditionally was packing the house for BYU and CSU games. The building wasn't even half full for either of the last two games.
By the way, Schroyer was on the conference call.
"We are getting better. That's encouraging," he said.
Apparently, not encouraging enough.

A 20-year-old after school counselor at a San Jose middle school is facing charges that he sold marijuana to a pair of students, who have also been suspended.
San Jose police said they arrested Edward Diaz on Tuesday about 4:30 p.m. after they were able to confirm a school report that he allegedly sold pot to two students through an afterschool program called "Think Together," located on school property on Cottle Road.
A program coordinator said Diaz was supposed to help students at Willow Glen Middle School with homework and coordinate enrichment and health activities.
The program contracts with the district, and so Diaz is not formally associated with the San Jose Unified School District. Think Together manager Tony Dodero said that Diaz has been fired and that he considers this an "isolated" incident.
U.S. & World
Like all his employees, Dodero said Diaz was put through a criminal background check and passed.
The school sent a letter home on Wednesday, telling parents what happened, and assuring them that they called police as soon as they received the tip. They told the parents that Diaz would "not be returning to the site."
One Willow Glen parent said what happened is a shame.
"Sometimes people make bad choices," Julia Blom said. " But I think that the school did a great job of getting the word out to us."

Louis Jolliet
Louis Jolliet (September 21, 1645 – last seen May 1700) was a French-Canadian explorer known for his discoveries in North America.[1] Jolliet and Jesuit Father Jacques Marquette, a Catholic priest and missionary, were the first non-Natives to explore and map the Mississippi River in 1673.

Early lifeEdit
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2008)
Jolliet was born in 1645 in Beaupré, a French settlement near Quebec City.[2] When he was seven years old, his father died; his mother then married a successful merchant. Jolliet's stepfather owned land on the Ile d'Orleans, an island in the Saint Lawrence River in Quebec that was home to First Nations. Jolliet spent much time on Ile d'Orleans, so it was likely that he began speaking Indigenous languages of the Americas at a young age. Besides French, he also learned English, and Spanish. During his childhood, Quebec was the center of the French fur trade. The Natives were part of day-to-day life in Quebec, and Joliet grew up knowing a lot about them. Jolliet entered a Jesuit school in Quebec as a child and focused on philosophical and religious studies, aiming for priesthood. He also studied music, becoming a skilled harpsichordist and church organist. He received minor orders in 1662, but abandoned his plans to become a priest, leaving the seminary in 1667 to pursue fur trading instead..[3]
Exploration of the Upper MississippiEdit
While Hernando de Soto was the first European to make official note of the Mississippi River by discovering its southern entrance in 1541, Jolliet and Marquette were the first to locate its upper reaches, and travel most of its length, about 130 years later. De Soto had named the river Rio del Espiritu Santo, but tribes along its length called it variations "Mississippi", meaning "Great River" in the Algonquin languages.
On May 17, 1673, Jolliet and Marquette departed from St. Ignace, Michigan with two canoes and five other voyageurs of French-Indian ancestry. The group followed Lake Michigan to the end of Green Bay. They then paddled upstream (but southward) on the Fox River to the site now known as Portage, Wisconsin. There, they portaged (carried their canoes and gear) a distance of slightly less than two miles through marsh and oak forest to the Wisconsin River. Europeans eventually built a trading post at that shortest convenient portage between the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins. On June 17, the canoeists ventured onto the Mississippi River near present-day Prairie du Chien.
The Jolliet-Marquette expedition traveled down the Mississippi to within 435 miles (700 km) of the Gulf of Mexico. They turned back north at the mouth of the Arkansas River. By this point, they had encountered natives carrying European goods, and worried about a possible hostile encounter with explorers or colonists from Spain.[4] The voyageurs then followed the Mississippi back to the mouth of the Illinois River, which friendly natives told them was a shorter route back to the Great Lakes. Following the Illinois river upstream, they then turned up its tributary the Des Plaines River near modern-day Joliet, Illinois. They then continued up the Des Plaines river, and portaged their canoes and gear at the Chicago Portage. They then followed the Chicago River downstream until they reached Lake Michigan near the location of modern-day Chicago. Father Marquette stayed at the mission of St. Francis Xavier at the southern end of Green Bay, which they reached in August. Joliet returned to Quebec to relate the news of their discoveries.
Marquette returned to what later became the Illinois Country in late 1674. He became the first Europeans to winter over in what would become the city of Chicago.[5]
Later yearsEdit
Jolliet married Claire-Francoise Byssot de la Valtrie. Like Joliet, she was Canadian born, and a daughter of Francois Byssot de la Riviere and his wife Marie Couillard. Claire Francoise was also a sister of Louise Byssot de la Valtrie, wife of Seraphin de Margane, Seigneur de la Valtrie. In 1680, Jolliet was granted the Island of Antwhere where he created a fort and maintained soldiers. In 1693, he was appointed "Royal Hydrographer", and on April 30, 1697, he was granted a seigneury southwest of Quebec City which he named Jolliest.
In 1694, he sailed from the Gulf of St. Lawrence north along the coast of Labrador as far north as Zoar, a voyage of five and a half months. He recorded details of the country, navigation, the Inuit and their customs. His journal ("Journal de Louis Jolliet allant à la descouverte de Labrador, 1694,") is the earliest known detailed survey of the Labrador coast from the Strait of Belle Isle to Zoar.
In May 1700, Louis Jolliet left for Anticosti Island. He then disappears from the historical record of the living. There is no listing of his death or burial place, and the sole record of his fate is the notation that a mass for his soul was said in Quebec on September 15, 1700.[6]
Jolliet was one of the first people of European descent born in North America to be remembered for significant discoveries. Though no authentic period portrait is known to exist, Jolliet is often portrayed wearing either typical frontiersman garb such as a fur hat or in sharp contrast, ensconced in the European nobleman's style that his personal wealth and prestige would have commanded although living in colonial society.
Jolliet's main legacy is most tangible in the Midwestern United States and Quebec, mostly through geographical names, including the cities of Joliet, Illinois; Joliet, Montana; and Joliette, Quebec (founded by one of Jolliet's descendants, Barthélemy Joliette).
The several variations in the spelling of the name "Jolliet" reflect spelling that occurred at times when illiteracy or poor literacy was common, and spelling was still highly unstandardized.[7] Jolliet's descendants live throughout eastern Canada and the United States. The Louis Jolliet rose, developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, was named in his honor.[8]
The Jolliet Squadron of cadets at the Royal Military College Saint-Jean in the Province of Quebec was named in his honor. Joliet Junior College in Joliet, Illinois is named after the explorer, as are numerous high schools in North America.
A cruise ship sailing out of Quebec City is also named in his honour.

Ian Ayre says Liverpool have to convince Luis Suarez to stay at Anfield
Liverpool managing director Ian Ayre says it is the club's job to 'convince' Luis Suarez to stay at Anfield.
Last Updated: 16/07/13 5:21am
Suarez has suggested he would be prepared to leave Liverpool if the right offer came along after suggesting he is keen to remain in the Premier League.
Arsenal are reported to have had an offer for the Uruguay international rejected and Suarez acknowledged last week that he is 'flattered' to be a target for Liverpool's Premier League rivals.
Real Madrid have also been heavily linked with a bid for the 26-year-old, who will sit out the start of the new season as he completes a suspension for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.
However, Liverpool have not given up hope of keeping Suarez at Anfield and Ayre is confident the former Ajax forward still retains the backing of the Reds faithful.
"I don't think anyone will be against him at this point," Ayre told Bloomberg.
"He only needs to do what he did last season and everyone will feel he's in the right place and he should carry on getting the support that he deserves and gets from Liverpool.
"We'd love to see Luis put on a Liverpool shirt for this season and beyond and we hope that once he gets back things will settle down.
"This is an ambitious young player, he's talked in the media about wanting to play in the Champions League and all these things. It's our job to convince Luis that this is the right place to achieve those things."
Suarez is due to link up with the Liverpool squad later this month as he is currently enjoying a break after representing Uruguay at the Confederations Cup.
Only last week, Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers confirmed he is in constant contact with Suarez and expressed his hope that the player would stay.
Rodgers told talkSPORT: "We communicate in some way nearly every day either through text or conversations. Over the course of the last few months and towards the end of the season there has been a lot of speculation with Luis, but the fact is it remains the same.
"We value the player. He had a terrific season for us last year and showed his qualities. Since then I've been in communication with him through texts and conversations on the phone and it [the situation] is pretty much the same. He is a valued player. He is an absolute magician on the field.
"Luis is a real competitor, a real winner. He wants Liverpool to do so well but, like every player, every manager, and more importantly every football club, they want to be working at the very highest level.
"At the minute he is on a break, he is relaxing with his family. We are in constant communication. He has got three years left on his contract, we don't want to sell him, and we hope everything will be fine for the summer.
"We want to bring in few more players to reinforce the group and we think we can put up a real fight next season."
Meanwhile, Ayre stated that Liverpool are still in the market for new signings after bringing in Simon Mignolet, Kolo Toure, Iago Aspas and Luis Alberto so far this summer.
Ayre added: "We've got other people in our sights and we'll keep plugging away. But we'll do some more business, there's no doubt about that.
"We've brought in great players who recognise we're not in the Champions League but see the size of this club, see the size of the opportunity and what we're trying to build and want to be part of it."
