FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter said that the 2022 FIFA World Cup™ will not be hosted in January or February out of respect to the Olympic Games, as the Winter Olympics will be held at that time. President Blatter also recognised the work that Qatar is already undertaking in relation to workers' rights
Also present was Managing Director of the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee, Sheikh Mohammed, who stressed that governmental and non-governmental organisations in Qatar are working hard to improve standards for workers and residents in the country, and also said that Qatar 2022 will be "an amazing World Cup."
FIFA President Joseph S. BlatterI was very happy to be here today to meet the highest political authorities to fulfil my mission, which has three points. The first is to reiterate the decision taken by the Executive Committee in October that there is not one single doubt that the World Cup 2022 will be organised in Qatar, with all matches to be played in Qatar. The decision has been taken on the 2 December 2010 and will not be reversed.
The second one which has been of great discussion, that it is too hot to play in summer. The organising committee here and the state of Qatar are willing and they are able to organise the World Cup in June and July if required, with a system of air conditioning in the stadium. Naturally, when it would be possible to play in another date, for the World Cup and for Qatar, it would be better. We want to consult now with the different participants in our game and our economic partners to find the date to play in the best possible conditions. The Secretary General of FIFA has been mandated to do so. We will not play the World Cup in January and February. It would be totally disrespectful to the Olympic family and organisation when they have the Winter Olympic Games in January and February. We have also consulted our economic and media partners. So many different partners are with FIFA and the Olympic Games so we can not have the partners in two competitions at the same time.
Thirdly, the state of Qatar are aware of some problems. They have already started to react. We went to the Supreme Committee building and we listened to a presentation. What was presented to us shows that they are going forward not only today but have already started months ago with the problems with labour and workers. The labour laws will be amended and are already in the process of being amended. Special attention will be paid to the different inspections that are necessary, the government inspectors will receive more powers to enforce the labour legislation and there will be accommodation for all the workers. Actually, accommodation is built for workers with room for 60,000 to be opened this December.
We have also learned that they have already had contact with the Building and Wood Workers International (BWI) union, with the human rights international agencies and with the International Labour Organisation (ILO). The part that has impressed me is the workers' welfare charter and their "Red Card to Forced Labour" initiative.
I have also received a letter from the BWI who have been here and given us a positive report. They are asking FIFA to enter with them into discussions which we will certainly do. There is, at the end, only one solution and this is getting together with Qatar and FIFA for the benefit of the World Cup. On one side, football and the other, the benefit of the country.
The World Cup is in nine years but the problems have to be tackled now. We are not responsible for the laws but we are happy to see that the laws will be amended. I am happy that the World Cup in this country can be a catalyst for other countries when organising competitions to build up the social part, that will also be registered as a legacy.
Therefore I can say that Qatar is on the right track with the football and the government authorities of this country are on the right track.
Managing Director of the Qatar 2022 Supreme Committee, Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al ThaniOnce we bid for the World Cup we bid on the premise of hosting in the summer. Having said that we are ready to deliver it whether it's in the summer or the winter. Either way it's going to be an amazing World Cup.
We were happy to show the President a specific workers' welfare committee that we established to monitor and ensure that we are taking full advantage of the World Cup to bring about necessary changes in improving workers' welfare, not only in Qatar but also to be an example for other host nations. Taking on a World Cup is a challenge for any host nation. We are happy to have taken that spotlight nine years earlier than most, but we embrace it fully so we can bring about those necessary changes.
These issues have been taken to heart a very long time ago, once we started our exponential growth and development of the nation. I can ensure everyone that both governmental and non-governmental organisations are continuously working on a day-to-day basis to improve the standards for not only the workers but the inhabitants of this country.
This issue has been important before the World Cup was awarded to us and shall continue to be after the World Cup is finished. We thank FIFA for entrusting us with such a tournament to really catalyse this change and be an example to the world. I look forward to growing the partnership between Qatar and FIFA.

The Opponents
• vs. Cal State Northridge, 2/23
The first-place Matadors have dropped just three conference games – including two in double overtime. CSUN has won six of seven and are led by senior Jasmine Erving who averages 16.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.
• vs. Long Beach State, 2/25
The 49ers have lost 12 of 14 road games this season, but are coming off victories over Cal State Northridge and UC Davis. Long Beach State is led by Tipesa Moorer, who averages 13.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game.
• CLASS-y Lady
Senior Emilie Johnson has been named one of 10 finalists nationwide for the Lowe's Senior CLASS award, given annually to the best senior who exemplifies hard work on the court, in the community and great character. Johnson is the first Gaucho to be chosen one of the 10 finalists. Fans can vote for Johnson by going to www.seniorclassaward.com.
• For The Record
At 5-7 in Big West play, the Gauchos have dropped more games than they did all of last conference season and are in danger of becoming the first UCSB team since the 1989-90 squad to post a losing conference record. Two seasons ago, the 2009-10 Gaucho team was 5-7 at one point but finished 9-7 in the Big West and went to the semifinals of the Big West Tournament. The last UCSB team to drop more than seven conference games was the 1990-91 team which went 10-8 in Big West play.
• Tenacious D
UC Santa Barbara is continuing its defensive dominance this season, holding opponents to just 51.4 points per game, best in the Big West and ranking the squad eighth in the nation. The Gauchos are also allowing opponents to shoot just 35.6% from the floor, which is the best mark in the conference and 41st in the nation.
• This Defense Doesn't Rest
Should the Gauchos' points allowed per game average – or anywhere near it – hold up, it would rank as one of the best defensive seasons in school history. The top two marks: the 1973-74 squad allowed opponents an average of 43.6 points per game, while the 2008-09 team allowed 55.5 points per game.
• Big West Woes
Entering last week, UCSB stood at 3-6 in Big West play, becoming the first Gaucho team to be three games under .500 during the conference season since February, 1990 a Gaucho team that held a 6-9 mark. That was the last UCSB team to finish the conference season with a sub-.500 record as they went 8-10.
• UCSB or UCS-D?
Over the past few years UCSB has been a dominant defensive force. Last year UCSB led the conference in field goal percentage defense (18th in the nation) at 35.5%. In 2009-10, UCSB allowed opponents to shoot 36.3%, which was 31st in the nation, and in 2008-09, the Gauchos allowed opponents to hit 34.6% of their shots, ranking eighth in the country. Also, since the new millennium, seven Gaucho teams rank in the single-season top-10 in opponents' points per game.
• Climbing the Charts
With 17 points last week at UC Riverside and UC Irvine, Emilie Johnson continued to move up the UCSB all-time scoring book. With 1,266 career points Johnson is 35 points away from Kayte Christensen (1998-2002) for 15th all-time. Johnson has reached double figures in seven of her last nine games and the Loomis, Calif. native has 11 20-point games in her UCSB career.
• Top-Ten Time
It's not just points where Emilie Johnson ranks among the best in UCSB history. Johnson is third in career three-pointers made (199, 18 behind Jess Hansen), second in career three-pointers attempted (608, one behind Erin Alexander), 10th in career assists (317, 10 behind Mia Fisher and Dio Aguinaldo) and second in career free throw percentage.
• Three, It's the Magic Number
In just 55 games at UCSB, senior Kelsey Adrian ranks in UCSB's top-10 in career three-pointers. Adrian has nailed 84 three-pointers in her Gaucho career, placing her ninth all-time, six behind Lisa Willett (2000-04). Adrian's 34.0% from downtown leads the team.
• Board Games
Santa Barbara's two frontcourt stalwarts – Kirsten Tilleman and Sweets Underwood – are two of the best rebounders in relation to their Big West peers. Tilleman ranks third in the conference with 8.4 rebounds per game and Underwood is sixth with 7.0 per game. There has been just two games this season where one of the two didn't grab at least seven rebounds.
• Turning Things Around
As a team, UCSB is averaging just 14.6 turnovers per game, ranking it 27th in the nation. In an odd twist, UCSB is averaging 16.6 turnovers in each of its wins and 12.9 in its losses. It's a far cry from just two seasons ago when the Gauchos committed 649 total turnovers (20.3 per game) in the 2009-10 season, the eighth-highest mark in program history.
• Wake Me Up Before You Score, Girl
UCSB is at the bottom of the Big West's scoring average – just 51.9 points per game – and rank 315 out of 336 teams ranked nationally in that category, one of just two teams in the bottom 21 with double figures in wins. Yet, the Gauchos are still not on pace to set a school record for futility. The lowest per game average by a UCSB team was 45.2 in the 1973-74 season. This year's team is on pace for the third-lowest point total in school history.
• Hang Ten
With Emilie Johnson and Nicole Nesbit as the Gauchos' two leading scorers at 8.9 and 8.7 points per game, respectively, the team does not have a scorer averaging 10.0 or more points per game. Only once in UCSB program history has a team not had at least one player average double digits. That came in 1982-83 when Thyra Ladyman led the way with 9.7 points per game, a team that averaged 61.7 points per game.
• No Points for You!
UCSB has allowed just one opponent to score more than 70 points in a game this season and has not given up more than 49 points in 12 games this year, going 8-4 in those contests. Santa Barbara set a new school record earlier this year when the team did not allow six straight opponents to break the 50-point plateau.
• Put Me In, Coach
Sophomore guard Nicole Nesbit is second on the team in points per game, averaging 8.9 and she has a team-high 13 double-digit games this season. The thing is, she's been doing most of her damage off the bench. Nesbit has started just three games and come off the bench in the other 22. In games she starts, the sophomore from Northridge, Calif. averages 8.0 points per game, but Nesbit averages 8.8 points per game she comes off the bench.
• It's Not In-N-Out, but There Were Double-Doubles
When Kirsten Tilleman (15 points, 10 rebounds) and Sweets Underwood (10 points, 12 rebounds) each had double doubles vs. Cal State Bakersfield, it marked the first time a pair of Gauchos turned the trick since Jordan Franey and Emilie Johnson did so Dec. 28, 2009 in a loss at Idaho.
• RPI Report
In the latest Ratings Percentage Index released by the NCAA UCSB stands at No. 225, up 13 spots from last week. The Gauchos rank sixth amongst Big West teams. Pacific is first at 118, followed by UC Davis (139), Cal State Northridge (156), Cal Poly (160), UC Irvine (219), Long Beach State (250), Cal State Fullerton (280) and UC Riverside (307).
• Probable Starters - Quick Fact
F 1 Sweets Underwood - Has scored 10 points in each of last three games
F 2 Kelsey Adrian - 3 three-pointers vs. UCI was most since 1/21 @ CSUN
G 10 Emilie Johnson - Has hit double figures in seven of last nine games

TORONTO - Canada's Josip Novakovich is among 10 finalists for the Man Booker International Prize.
The Croatian-born short-story writer and novelist lives in Montreal and teaches creative writing at Concordia University.
He joins U.S. author Marilynne Robinson, Israel's Aharon Appelfeld and China's Yan Lianke on the list for the award, an offshoot of Britain's better-known Man Booker novel-of-the-year prize.
The finalists were announced Thursday at the Jaipur Literary Festival in India.
Novakovich is known for his depiction of violence and for writing about the Yugoslav war and its atrocities.
Prize organizers note that his three short-story collections "Yolk," "Salvation and Other Disasters" and "Infidelities: Stories of War and Lust," all contain work that is darkly comic.
Other finalists include Lydia Davis of the United States, Pakistan's Intizar Husain, France's Marie NDiaye and Indian writer U.R. Ananthamurthy.
Russia's Vladimir Sorokin and Swiss writer Peter Stamm round out the list.
The Man Booker International Prize is awarded every two years for a lifetime's work and is open to fiction authors of all nationalities whose work is available in English.
Previous winners of the $95,000 award include Canada's Alice Munro, Nigeria's Chinua Achebe and Philip Roth of the United States.
This year's winner will be announced May 22 in London.
A publicist for Concordia University said Novakovich was travelling all day Thursday and unavailable to comment.
A biography on the Man Booker Prize website notes that Novakovich studied medicine in Serbia before moving to the United States.
He continued his studies in psychology and then in creative writing, at Vassar College and Yale University. A Concordia publicist says he joined the faculty at the Montreal school in July 2009.

NBA scout takes on Colorado's Alec Burks
Here's one NBA scout's evaluation of Colorado guard Alex Burks:
"First time I watched Burks in person what struck me was his tremendous length for the position. I didn't necessarily notice this as much on film. He's a solid athlete with a good handle, and combined with his length, this allows him to get his shot off pretty much anywhere and at anytime. He can go wherever he wants to against most college teams thanks to his dribbling ability. He has an uncanny ability to make off balance shots off the bounce. I usually don't like guys shooting when they aren't balanced, but he has the ability to make these shots consistently. This is something that really can't be taught. His scoring ability is legit and should translate to the next level…
One idiosyncrasy I noticed is that he shoots a true jumper from mid-range but more of a set-shot from beyond the arc. I would like his shot to be the same every time. He doesn't yet have NBA three-point range. He has a tendency to dribble in to charges or turnovers and has to improve in this area. He can be a very good passer when he wants to be, but he sometimes gets tunnel vision and looks only at the rim. He must improve and get more active when the ball isn't in his hands. He has a tendency to just stand or drift to the perimeter until he receives the ball again. His biggest weakness is his lack of defensive intensity. He often has a "too cool for school" look. When he's defending on the weak-side away from the ball he often loses sight of the ball or his man and is susceptible to giving up back door lay-ups. This is frustrating to watch because his length and athleticism could make him a great on the ball defender and also a menace in the passing lanes.
As it stands now, I could see him going as high as the late teens or as far back as late first round. Definitely think he's a first round talent, though."
SHARP CUTS: It's been a dismal start for Jeff Bzdelik, who left the University of Colorado for Wake Forest after last season. His team is 6-8 with four straight losses going into today's game against High Point and turns the ball over 16.2 times per game. … Xavier Silas, who started his career at CU is third in the nation in scoring so far this season, averaging 24.5 points per game for Ricardo Patton's Northern Illinois Huskies, who are out to a 4-8 start this season.

This post was written by guest blogger Pam Harvey-Jacobs, the Director of Admissions at UW-Green Bay.
It's getting to be that time of year. High school seniors are so DONE with school. Graduation is so close, it feels like they can reach out and touch it. They are down to their last few months with friends – often lifelong friends – who will scatter in all directions come fall (maybe even summer). Time is precious, and priorities are conflicted. "Good thing," they think, "my college admission letter is safe in hand. At least I don't need to worry about THAT any more. Now I can relax." Well, not really.
Each summer I have the sad responsibility of rescinding admission for students who have experienced a serious downturn in senior year performance. Sometimes this means that they fail key core classes, without which they no longer meet minimal academic expectations. Sometimes it simply means that their senior year grade point average is significantly below the GPA that they presented at the point they were admitted. Either way, their performance moves from an admissible level to an inadmissible level. And we simply cannot ignore it. In all fairness to the students who maintain their performance throughout senior year, and in fairness to the students we denied earlier in the application cycle, we simply cannot look the other way. In addition, we know that serious downturns in performance often continue into freshman year in college. A downturn in performance automatically makes a student "high risk." There's no way we can condone the performance, and ignoring it would do just that. We have to rescind.
Believe me, we understand the angst that this causes for students and their families, and rescinding admission is not a decision we make lightly. Rescinding admission means a mad scramble to make alternate plans at short notice. Choices are often limited. And, well, it's embarrassing.
But it happens. It happens virtually every year. It happens all around the UW System (and at private colleges too, I imagine). Yet, there still seems to be a general perception (among students, at least) that senioritis is OK…as long as your college admission letter is safely in hand.
If you are a school counselor reading this entry, feel free to cut and paste this into your next senior newsletter. Tell your students you got this from a 30+ year admissions veteran: senioritis is NOT acceptable, and the impact can be significant. Tell your students that we will be requesting final high school transcripts after graduation, and we will be examining every single one of them. And if we see a serious downturn, we will have no choice but to respond accordingly.
The best cure for senioritis is a dose of reality.
On another note, and I would be remiss not to mention this: some students encounter legitimately traumatic experiences during senior year that have a negative impact on performance…things that are beyond their control, and disrupt even the most determined efforts to succeed. In those cases, school counselors can help by letting us know what is going on. Whether it's UW-Green Bay or another school, if there's something we should know about that has impacted senior year performance, give the admissions director a call or drop an email. Help us to understand the background, and tell us your opinion about how the student would have performed had the event/situation not impacted performance. Having this perspective can make a world of difference.

Westinghouse Radio Station KDKA, 1920
Keystone Commons, 700 Braddock Ave, Pittsburgh, PA Dedicated June 1994 - IEEE Pittsburgh Section
Westinghouse Radio Station KDKA was a world pioneer of commercial radio broadcasting. Transmitting with a power of 100 watts on a wavelength of 360 meters, KDKA began scheduled programming with the Harding-Cox Presidential election returns on November 2, 1920. A shed, housing studio and transmitter, was atop the K Building of the Westinghouse East Pittsburgh works. Conceived by C.P. Davis, broadcasting as a public service evolved from Frank Conrad's weekly experimental broadcasts over his amateur radio station 8XK, attracting many regular listeners who had wireless receiving sets.
"Will anyone hearing this broadcast please communicate with us, as we are anxious to know how far the broadcast is reaching and how it is being received."
A small but entranced KDKA audience heard this message interspersed between election returns and occasional music throughout that station's first broadcast from 6 p.m., election night, November 2, 1920, to noon the following day. From a wooden shack atop the Westinghouse Company's East Pittsburgh plant, five men informed and entertained an unseen audience for eighteen hours. On hand as "chief engineer" of the station was Donald G. Little. R. S. McClelland and John Frazier handled telephone lines from the old Pittsburgh Post newsroom where the returns were received. William Thomas served as station operator and Mr. Leo H. Rosenburg acted as announcer throughout that stormy night. Although it was this election night broadcast which first riveted national attention to KDKA, the station finds its antecedent several years earlier in 1916 as amateur experimental station 8XK, licensed to Westinghouse engineer Dr. Frank Conrad. The station was not an ordinary amateur station-the 'X' indicated a special experimental license-any more than Conrad was an ordinary amateur. He was assistant chief engineer of the Westinghouse Company. This outgrowth of a friendly challenge which centered on timepieces and their accuracy and thus required the ability to receive the Naval Observatory radio station, soon became a major activity of Dr. Conrad's professional engineering career . This station's first official listing appears in the July 1, 1916 edition of the Department of Commerce's Radio Stations of the United States.
While most of the nation's amateurs were forced to cease operations for the duration of World War I, Westinghouse was issued special licenses 2WM and 2WE and continued experimental radiotelephone work for the military throughout the War. "Two stations were designed, equipped, and operated during the war. One was located near its plant at East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the other at the home of Dr. Frank Conrad in the Pittsburgh residential district, a distance of four or five miles separating the two stations," Almost as soon as he was permitted to do so after the war, Conrad went back on the air. 8XK was relicensed as a "special land station'. presumably between June 15 and August 1, 1919. Amateur stations, as a class, were not allowed to resume operations until 1 October 1919. On 17 October 1919, Conrad delighted "hams" all over the country by substituting a phonograph record for their usual conversation about wireless equipment. In response to the flood of requests for particular musical selections, Conrad was forced to announce that instead of complying with individual requests, he would broadcast records for two hours each Wednesday and Saturday evenings. This twice-a-week program schedule was continued with live vocal and instrumental talent provided from time to time by Dr. Conrad's two young sons, Crawford and Francis, who acted as announcers and played the piano. The other program material was largely phonograph records, although there were some talks as well as baseball and football scores. Even such unsophisticated programming as this was a marvel, and the programs were greeted by rave reviews from columnists in the Pittsburgh Gazette Times.

More schools taking note of degrees for $10,000
Many were skeptical when Gov. Rick Perry last year challenged Texas public colleges and universities to offer degrees costing no more than $10,000.
Now 14 institutions have embraced the concept, which Perry sees as a promising way to rein in college costs and increase access.
Several schools began offering bargain degrees this fall, and others are scheduled to start programs next year, according to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, a cheerleader for the concept.
"We've really been a bully pulpit to look at ways to bend the cost curve in terms of tuition and fees," board spokesman Dominic Chavez said. "We articulate it as a challenge. Ten thousand dollars is a goal. Let's see how many programs we can get for affordable pathways."
In-state tuition and fees in Texas have increased by 90 percent in eight years.
The average cost was about $7,300 per year in 2011-12.
With rising tuition and student debt a growing concern nationwide, Perry's $10,000 degree idea is gaining attention in other states. Two weeks ago, Florida Gov. Rick Scott called for his state's universities and colleges to follow Texas' lead.
The low-cost programs vary in structure, but most use a mix of online and classroom courses or a combination of dual community college and university credits to keep the cost low.
Many also use grants and scholarships to reach the $10,000 mark.
The programs generally are limited to certain degree areas and offer few frills. Students must be highly focused and motivated to complete the programs because they are tightly structured for four-year completion.
A common thread is that the low-cost degrees are in high-demand job areas.
For example, Texas A&M University-San Antonio, in partnership with Alamo College, offers a degree in information technology with an emphasis on cybersecurity.
The University of Texas of the Permian Basin, in Odessa, offers $10,000 degrees in chemistry, computer science, geology, math and information systems.
Both universities' programs target traditional students, but some also cater to older students.
Some in higher education say the concept is a gimmick and fails to fully address the cost issue.
"Our concern is that the idea of the $10,000 degree is diverting attention from the very real conversation about rising costs that must happen among all the members of the higher-education community," said Ann McGlashan, an associate professor of German and Russian at Baylor University and president of the Texas Conference of the American Association of University Professors.
Texas and other states have dramatically cut higher-education money over the years, forcing tuition up. Now political leaders want to put pressure on universities to reverse the trend while ignoring cost-cutting measures they have already taken, said Dan Hurley, director of state relations for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.
"While we support the idea, the $10,000 mark is an artificially set figure," Hurley said. "To deliver a college education at or below that mark is a little too elementary, given all the dynamics at play. It gets folks excited, but it's not a sophisticated approach to encouraging system performance."
Others say it's difficult for brick-and-mortar universities to offer $10,000 degrees without radically revising the way their programs are structured.
An innovative approach is shaping up in which Texas A&M-Commerce and South Texas College, in partnership with the Coordinating Board, are developing a competency-based program. It will offer an organizational leadership degree for working students who want to advance their careers. The initiative is being funded by a Gates Foundation grant and is expected to start next fall.
Students will receive credit based on demonstrating proficiency rather than taking a certain number of courses, enabling them to learn at their own pace. They can complete the program in three years or less. Tuition and fees will range from $7,000 to $14,000.
"This does away with everything based on time and place," said Mary Hendrix, vice president for student access and success at A&M-Commerce. "Students are able to personalize their degree. We see this as the next step."
This fall, the University of Texas at Arlington joined Tarrant County College System and Mansfield Independent School District to offer low-cost degrees.
High school students who complete 24 semester hours of dual credit college courses in their junior and senior years are encouraged to advance to Tarrant County College to earn their associate degree. High-performing transfer students are eligible for a UT-Arlington scholarship of up to $10,000.
Students who complete all three phases of the program and qualify for the scholarship could save $25,000 off the total cost of their undergraduate education and earn a college degree for less than $10,000.
Baylor's McGlashan said students eligible for $10,000 degrees often have attended well-funded high-schools that offer many dual-credit and Advanced Placement classes that give them a head start.
"It also targets those who know very early on what they want to do with their lives," she said.
"We need to be talking about the students who don't have these advantages and what can be done to bring down costs for them. It's time to put everything on the table and think outside the box."

A flood of games get released for the holiday season and the vast majority are geared to families who spend their game nights around a game console. Here's a look at five new family-centric games for the Nintendo Wii.
The circus has been recreated for the Wii as Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey march out the "Greatest Show on Earth" for action compatible with the balance board and standard controllers. It's not the Gunther Gebel Williams stuff of your childhood, but there's plenty of variety here to keep small kids interested.
Meanwhile, Nickelodeon's 'Dora the Explorer' and that shrill parchment friend of hers 'The Map' help lead the way for "Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom." It's colorful, reasonably challenging and one of a handful of options for young girls.
Nickelodeon's Kai-Lan makes her video game debut in 2K Play's 'Ni Hao, Kai-Lan: Super Game Day," another good option for young girls. This is a collection of mini-games for children just old enough to hold the controller. This could help build the coordination needed for other kids games, like Konami's Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 3. In that game, which bundles a dance mat with 50 party hits, the folks at Konami are even touting a workout mode to join in on the Wii Fit craze.
For something less loud than all of the above and certainly more brooding, "Scene It? Twilight" is a trivia challenge that tests your knowledge about the movie. The Wii controller helps you buzz in for hundreds of multiple-choice questions as the Wii takes you from Phoenix to Forks, Washington to the Crystal Kingdom and back for the holidays.

Tesla Faces New Rival Model From GM
General Motors is developing an electric car that can go 200 miles on a charge for around $30,000, offering a challenge to luxury electric-car startup Tesla Motors. Mike Ramsey has details on Lunch Break. Photo: AP.

I ... oh ... general Motors racking up plans to build a Tesla rival and perhaps more palpable price tag here at the details of the vehicle ... is are all the reporter Mike Ramsey he's based in Troy and I ... a ... it's good I'm glad I'd be great if I had a test or one of these other vehicles at the GM thing is still sore in the pipeline here in what way ... with this GM vehicle be someone like that Tesla what's their pain ... okay so let's Cornell Summly for both companies both Tesla and GM have said they won a bill that vehicle like this ... but neither of them really have proven that they can actually build a vehicle that costs thirty or thirty five thousand dollars ... as two hundred miles of range ... and all the current examples of electric vehicles ahead on the road including from Tesla ... in order to get back on a range you're talking about it much much more expensive vehicles so ... to get to that it's a it's sort of like ... it it's like ... setting the bar very high you may get there but you know it right now it's going to require dramatic for me to reduction in battery costs ... for improvement in battery technology ... neither of which it out when say it's impossible that the bars very high to get there ... and the biggest thing that doing this with you is it would make ... an electric vehicle much more palatable if the price down and ... it gives you a vehicle that potentially can be your only get one not just like a ... um and sometimes they ... ever have right now people sell an out of seventy grand around seventy grand for Tesla Model S that it goes that far to the two mile marker Mike ... was talk a little bit about that because if you plan out it would make the vehicle a lot more palatable to people who want the these long that this is that there is the other camp of folks who just say ... that's not why people people need that kind of brains they'd they drive the sword businesses often not more than seventy five miles why are we spinning our wheels so to speak to develop this longer range car with that on that ... what ... he did the great irony here is that GM has gone through this entire thought process and came up with his revolutionary vehicle called the Chevy volt which was designed to address this very issue ... is that people don't drive more than forty miles a day most people don't and a dramatically ... covers about it you know someone like sixty or seventy percent of driving ... that most people do in the day is about forty miles so they have the full moon and if you need to go laundering have a strange accent ... now ... they still haven't sold a lot of the zoo and Tesla came out with a vehicle that can go two hundred miles for fifty miles ... even that excessive prices to know if they think the average over eighteen thousand for a Model S ... people seem to be very interested in it so ... I think that the idea of being able to how a ... vehicle that is on fatter you don't have the two different vehicles ... is very appealing even at a high price so ... you lower the price even more ...

Washington Man Arrested for Eating Someone Else's Birthday Cake [VIDEO]
If you are looking for odd news, this story out of Kelso, Washington, literally "takes the cake." On Tuesday afternoon a woman brought her daughter's birthday cake with her into the Cowlitz County Hall of Justice because "the dog would get into it and eat it" if she left it in the car. Instead, an uninvited guest started the b-day celebration a bit early.
One deputy wasn't enough to restrain 50-year-old Robert Eric Fredrickson from furiously chowing down on the sweet confection. According to KATU, Deputy Connor confronted Fredrickson after witnessing him scarf down a handful of cake:
I said 'stand right there, don't move.' I went to get some towels to clean him up before I dealt with him and no sooner had I turned my back on him and he was back on the cake again. And then all hell broke loose.
That's when the pastry thief snagged another handful of cake, directly in front of Sergeant Joe Reiss. Reiss wasted no time sntaching up Fredrickson and after a small scuffle with officers that completely destroyed the cake, he was place under arrest. The dessert stealing suspect was arrested on charges of third-degree theft and resisting arrest.
Complete tragedy was averted, however, as a local Safeway bakery came to the rescue and replaced the cake for the birthday girl.

I have a new laptop with an "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad".
A single finger is only detected, if it is held in such a way that a big area touches the pad. If one touches the pad only with the fingertip, it wil not be detected, both for clicking and for moving the pointer.
Strangley, two-finger gestures are detected even if the pad is only touched with the fingertips.
On ubuntuusers.de I found that Elantech touchpads require to reload the psmouse-module by:
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps
If I do this, one finger finally gets detected as it should, but all two or more finger gestures stop working. Also
grep -B 5 mouse /proc/bus/input/devices
tells that the touchpad now is identified as a mouse, while before the changes it was identified correctly as
ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad.

With the typographical landscape for web rapidly expanding, it's becoming easier for designers to integrate a vast arsenal of custom type choices for web/mobile design. However, there's a common thread amongst designers obsessed with finding new fonts to utilize in their design - where do you find faces that haven't been overtly used and abused? There is more pressure than ever to create a unique voice online and choosing the right web fonts are an integral part of the online experience.
Here are some excellent fonts you should keep in mind for your next web design project:
#1 Abolition
Abolition is a condensed sans-serif display typeface that's great for the industrial vibe. It's a highly modified sans-serif version of Bourbon with some new surprises.
#2 Frontage
This font is a versatile layered type system with no shortage of possibilities using a wide variety of fonts and colors. Create unique effects by adding the shadow font or use the capitals and bold cut for cool execution.
#3 Brothers
Inspired by the circus, this bold and memorable font makes a statement that is just simply hard to ignore.
#4 Lust
A sexy, lusty serif inspired by a confident, self-reliant woman that shows just enough to keep her dreamy pursuant wanting more.
#5 Nexa & Nexa Slab
The family is characterized by excellent legibility, a well-finished geometric design, optimized kerning, etc. Nexa is most suitable for headlines of all sizes, but it does well in a variety of text lengths as well.
#6 Geogrotesque
A DIN Alternative - the type family has a geometric construction, but the rounded finish provides it a warm appearance.
#7 Livory
Need something that looks like it sits perfectly under an old weeping willow tree? Livory has an organic look with a warm, poetic touch. With its melted corners and individual serifs, Livory has a smooth and handcrafted appearance in bigger sizes.
#8 Zombie Sunrise
When you buy this font you receive for six free exclusive patterns that you can use in your Photoshop applications.
#9 Vaud
Vaud is inspired by Helvetica, Akzidenz Grotesk, Univers and the original metal types from Switzerland, yet has more pronounced legibility. Each weight is designed to be highly readable on-screen.
#10 Salome
Salomé offers a lot of ligatures & alternate forms, including R and K swashes, an ampersand alternative and titling ligatures. It can be used with Font-Face.
To give web designers a reliable tool for typography on the web, H&FJ recently launched a revolutionary web font library called Cloud.typography, which includes adaptations of some of their their most popular families, like Archer, Chronicle, Gotham, and Ideal Sans. They're calling them 'ScreenSmart' fonts, and they have been completely rebuilt to display small text on the screen. Redesigned literally 'in' the browser, ScreenSmart fonts are fully-featured type families that offer outstanding quality on all the major platforms. A few
A few notable features
Render Quality - Multipurpose web fonts work great at larger sizes, but don't usually perform well for setting text at small sizes. Pixel grids disfigure letterforms, especially at the text sizes where we all do most of our reading. ScreenSmart fonts are specifically built in and for the screen, so the render quality is outstanding, even at nine pixels. The creation of each ScreenSmart font involved reshaping the glyphs to work with pixel grids at every size. Additionally, proportions were altered to favor legibility, weights were adjusted so each style is differenciated from other members of the family, and characters were appropriately spaced to improve clarity.
Browser Optimization - Cloud.typography delivers different font files to each browser which means the fonts use different engineering strategies to play to the strengths of the environment. Each character in a ScreenSmart font is equipped with a set of detailed instructions called "hints," which tell its outlines how to adapt to pixel grids at different point sizes.
Cloud.typography is compatible with all browsers that support webfonts, including Internet Explorer 6+, Google Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.5+, Safari 3.1+, Opera 10+, Mobile Safari for iOS 4.2+, Browser on Android 2.2+, Google Chrome for Android 18+, IE Mobile for Windows Phone 8, and Blackberry OS 7+ including PlayBook.

The Phenomenon of Teilhard: An Exhibit to Commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Death of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) was born outside the city of Clermont-Ferrand, in the ancient French province of Auvergne, at the Teilhard chateau of Sarcenat. In the Clermont of the 1890s the name Teilhard was an important one, with his father, the country squire Emmanuel Teilhard de Chardin, being one of the largest landowners in the province. Pierre was one of eleven children, all raised in an atmosphere of piety and plenty. From the Lukas-Teilhard de Chardin Collection.

with his brothers and sisters: Olivier, Alberic, Marguerite-Marie, Francoise (holding Joseph), and Gabriel Teilhard de Chardin, 1894. Their mother was Berthe Adele de Dompierre d'Hornoy, from a well-connected family in Picardy and a great-granddaughter of Voltaire's sister. She created for her children a closed Pascalian world, so somber, strict and pious that acquaintances referred to it as "la Grande Grille." From the Lukas-Teilhard de Chardin Collection.

After finishing the novitiate in 1900, he was at Laval for two years of advanced classical studies and from 1902 to 1905 he did three years of philosophy on the Isle of Jersey. In the Summer of 1905 Teilhard received his appointment from the Jesuits to teach, at the Holy Family school in Cairo, physics and chemistry.

From 1908 to 1912 Teilhard was in Sussex, England, at the Jesuit school at Ore Place, near the town of Hastings. Following the normal course of studies to become a Jesuit priest, he devoted himself to theology and was ordained to the priesthood on August 29, 1911, in the presence of his parents. It was during a walk along the outskirts of Hastings in May of 1909 that he met the amateur geologist Charles Dawson. The two became friends and in May of 1912 Teilhard accompanied Dawson for the first time to the area of Piltdown, near Uckfield. It was there that Teilhard found an elephant molar: "This first elephant tooth made me feel like a hunter after his first catch."

It was during this period that Teilhard made great strides in theology. For four consecutive years he was chosen to take part in one of the "solemn disputes" of the year. The first time was in order to attack his professor's theses: the other three times he had to defend them. Here he proved to be a capable and practical theologian. In one letter he writes: "Time spent at theology has the advantage of making ideas mature well." His spiritual life is also revealed in these letters to his parents.

When World War I broke out, Teilhard was on a mountain climbing trip. In September of 1914 Teilhard's Jesuit superiors decided it would be good for him to go to a Jesuit house in England to begin his tertianship. Two months later his brother Gonzague was killed in battle, and his own order to report for duty came. He was attached as a stretcher-bearer to a colonial regiment of North African Zouaves and saw action in the Marne before the end of the first year. Then the Zouaves were moved to Ypres in Belgium, where the Germans had used poison gas. later they battled the Germans at Artois, winning, but losing half the Zouaves. In November of 1915 he had his first leave. In May of 1916 the Zouaves were ordered to Verdun. In a lull in the fighting Teilhard began to keep this diary and started putting down his "passionate vision of the earth."

With the support of what religion and science have been teaching me for the last fifty years, I have tried in this to make my way out into the open.

I am working steadily on the first chapter of The Phenomenon of Man, a page or two a day. For the last ten months I have been thinking about it a great deal and it seemed to me that plan and inspiration had reached maturity. So far I have come up against no 'fault' as it develops.
Rome thought differently and in September of 1947 it forbade Teilhard to publish anything involving philosophy or theology. "All this isn't making life any brighter" he wrote to Abbe Breuil.

two pages, 4 April 1955, to Pierre Leroy, S.J. From the Pierre Leroy, S.J. Papers, gift of Pere Leroy.
Less than a week before his death, Teilhard writes of his plans and his hope to go to California in September. He relates his continuing troubles with Rome:
Would you believe that Rome:
1) will not give me permission to go to Pris for the paleontological symposium at the Sorbonne in April 1955 to which I was invited...It's curious...that I feel absolutely untroubled; on the contrary, I am encouraged or at least excited by these obstacles. Resistance of this kind strengthens me...
Teilhard died on Easter Day, April 10th, 1955. Pere Leroy was in Chicago and later wrote that he "did not see him until Easter Monday. His body was laid in the private chapel of the Jesuit Fathers of St. Ignatius High School. He was dressed in violet vestments, his hand crossed on a rosary and crucifix, and his face a little sunken, he lay in the silence of death. ...I had lost an incomparable friend, the world and the Church had lost an uncommon mind which, through many troubles and misunderstandings, had tried to extend to humanity a message of hope."
Pierre Leroy Papers, Box 1 Folder 98.
In 1951 Teilhard gave thought to the manuscripts that were the great work of his life. What would become of them after his death? He realized that if they were to become the property of the Society of Jesus, they then might be buried in its archives for years, untouched. They challenged the then current thoughts about God, man and the universe. A solution was suggested that his papers might be left to a lay person and Mlle. Jeanne Mortier was the obvious choice. She had devotedly curated his archive for many years and Teilhard appointed her his literary executrix.
Following Teilhard's death Mlle. Mortier founded a committee of Teilhard's family members, friends and colleagues, to arrange for the publication of his writings. Le Phenomene Humain was the first in the series and became a bestseller, appearing in both England and America in 1959.
First American edition.

11 pages, 1960. From the Edward Rice Papers.
Perhaps published in Jubilee, this article is a study of the Divine Milieu which had just been published in America. Merton, the famous American monk and author, writes that the work is "not controversial to the same degree as the Phenomenon of Man, though it is sufficiently vital and independent in its thought to trouble minds that fear the very shadow of originality as somehow 'dangerous'." Edward Rice was Merton's godfather and his close friend since college, and his archives include scores of Merton's letters.
First American edition.
As Teilhard's posthumous fame grew, friends began to publish memoirs about him. Here are the recollections of George Barbour, an American paleontologist who taught at Yenching University in Peking and worked with Teilhard on various expeditions from 1929 to 1953. His impressive Teilhard archives are in the Woodstock Theological Library on the lower level of Lauinger Library.

A noted English poet, Elizabeth Jennings, attended St. Anne's College, Oxford, and became close friends with Philip Larkin and Kingley Amis. In his anthology Oxford Poetry, Amis described her as "the star of our show, our discovery."

She was born and remained a life-long Catholic.

"The Mass on the World" is a lengthy poem by Teilhard, rich with imagery and passion, and remains Teilhard's most popular essay.

Winning Streak!
Two wins against the Rays, and Jays sneak out of the basement.
Accardo looked like an actual living breathing closer today, mowing down Tampa quickly in ninth for his first save as a Jay.
We're ecstatic.

- THE GREAT LAKES KNUCKLEBALLER said...
Hey, I'm all for it. Without being a wet blanket, I just would like to say I want to see this kind of progress against somebody other than the D-Rays.
BUT, this is a team the Jays should beat and they have a long history of crawling into their shells against the cream-puffs. Today's results are a good step forward.

Updates on Allegany Trail Building Weekend
Get set for another great week of free cabin-camping and trail building at Allegany. The park just sourced us a fourth cabin, so we should have plenty of space for everyone. We will start work on the new trail to the west of the Stone Tower. That means we can actually drive the one-maile dirt road to the starting spot and get right to work. No need to ride our bikes out to the work area first.
We will be supplying the lunches and the Saturday evening dinner. And lots of good times. We will start work each day at 10 AM. The work will be mostly clearing the corridor as we hope to follow up with some mechanized benching later.
This is will be a ton of fun as usual, so see you all there. Be sure to register at the meetup, but even if you forget, come on down!
