Lyrics:First verseList to me while I tell you Of the Spaniard that blighted my life; List to me while I tell you Of the man who pinched my future wife. 'Twas at the bull fight where we met him, We'd been watching his daring display, And while I'd gone out for some nuts and a programme The dirty dog stole her away Oh, yes! oh, yes! But I've sworn that I'll have my revenge!ChorusIf I catch Alphonso Spagoni, the Toreador, With a mighty swipe I will dislocate his bally jaw! I'll find this bullfighter, I will, And when I catch the bounder, the blighter I'll kill, He shall die! he shall die! he shall die tiddly-i-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-ti! He shall die! he shall die! For I'll raise a bunion on his Spanish onion If I catch him bending tonight!Second verseYes, when I catch Spagoni He will wish that he'd never been born. And for this special reason, My stiletto I've fetched out of pawn. It cost me five shillings to fetch it, This expense it has caused me much pain, But the pawnbroker's promised, when I've killed Spagoni, He'll take it in pawn once again. Oh, yes! oh, yes! So tonight there will be dirty work.
Third verseI tracked him to London, And he gave me the slip once again, And they told me this morning That he'd doubled and gone back to Spain, But what ever it costs me, I'll catch him, Then no more he will give me the slip With my last one-an-nine-pence, on Sunday I'm going To Spain by the Sunday League Trip. Oh, yes! oh, yes! And then the dark deed will be done.

Getting older, enjoying the summer, fixing the yard (i.e., new fence and planning some new landscaping), debating on debateart.com and keeping fit. Reading a lot about fallacies and logic to try and improve my presentation, otherwise, nothing new. Hope your family is doing well and receiving God's blessings!
Good to see you. How you been? ODN is generally slowing down and coming to it's conclusion. Other than that life is grand.
what is new with you?
GK Chesterton on Skepticism, Relativism, and Post-modernism:
Thanks for your support and contribution to the thread. It is greatly appreciated, and very encouraging. It's an interesting approach that I don't take very often so, really just seeing where it leads. However it is clear that the agnostic can't allow himself to accept the definition, because it means they inherently must abandon their position. Which, is probably just a reflection of the weakness of their position to begin with. So many debates occur without putting the cards on the table so to speak. As you said, we are defending the Christian God and coming from a position of divine revelation. That is my problem with saying all religions have the same "kind" of evidence. I don't think they are. .. but we will see how it plays out in the thread. Thanks again.
Thank you!
Yes, a "like" or "thanks" both contribute positively to your reputation. We used to have a negative reputation option but it always devolved into wars so we removed it.
I appreciate it. As to ODN changes.. I'm not sure. We will all just be surprised.
No problem, you are creating great posts, especially from someone so new! Great to read such well thought out work.
Btw, I like your posting system here. It is nice to type a Scripture and have it appear, rather than copy and paste from an online Bible.
Your welcome. We can often forget that other people are reading our posts, other than just our opponent. I hope to encourage you as much as is possible, and while the reputation system has limits, the like and thankyou option I try to use liberally. I have really appreciated your input, and think you are on generally firm footing.

At Paris the exclusive SA APERTA and the Ferrari California featuring the HELE system, leading its class with a 23% reduction in city driving emissions
Paris, 30th September – At the Paris Motor Show Ferrari is presenting the SA APERTA, a strictly limited edition of just 80 cars, and the Ferrari California sporting the first application of the HELE (High Emotion Low Emissions) system which is designed to enhance driving pleasure whilst reducing environmental impact.
The SA APERTA celebrates Pininfarina's 80th year of activity and pays homage Sergio and Andrea. The SA APERTA is a new concept: a completely open-top interpretation of the architectural philosophy of the 599. It is an authentic roadster and comes with just an emergency soft top designed for use only if the weather gets particularly bad.
The SA APERTA features a lowered windscreen which, combined with the fact that the ride height has also been reduced, makes the car lower and sleeker. In profile the A-post creates an arc that ends with two aerodynamic buttresses integrating the two roll hoops which follow the outline of the seats. Each individual detail of the SA APERTA, designed by Ferrari Centro Stile in collaboration with Pininfarina, has been chosen to highlight the craftsmanship involved in its creation, with the finest materials – such as leather, carbon-fibre and Alcantara – used throughout from the dashboard to the roomy boot.
The SA APERTA is powered by a V12 producing 670 CV at 8250 rpm and maximum torque of 620 Nm at 6500 rpm, while gear changes are effected in just 60 milliseconds. These figures translate into absolutely outstanding performance. Backing up the performance is a chassis that has been redesigned to guarantee the same structural rigidity of the berlinetta without adding weight.
Also on the stand is the Ferrari California equipped with the HELE system. In an urban driving cycle that realistically reproduces a clients' use of the car, these solutions reduce emissions by 23 per cent compared to the 299 g/km announced at launch. Over the homologated combined cycle (ECE+EUDC) CO2 emissions are cut to a best-in-class 270 g/km. This is thanks to a finely tuned balance between energy demanded (vehicle efficiency) and the increase in energy generated (engine efficiency), a result achieved through the introduction of innovative solutions and the optimisation of numerous technological features.
HELE also incorporates the Stop&Start system designed specifically for sporty driving – intelligent engine fan and fuel pump control, electronically-controlled variable displacement air-conditioning technology and gear shifts that adapt to driving style. These solutions combine to reduce emissions and boost driving pleasure. The Stop&Start system restarts the car in just 230 milliseconds, guaranteeing maximum rapidity in getting underway again.
The Ferrari California thus seamlessly melds sportiness and versatility. The latter attribute, in fact, extends not only to its use, but also to the now even richer array of trim and personalisation options possible. As well as the 16 standard exterior colours in the range, clients can also opt for two-tone finishes or three-layer paint technology. Other options include an even wider choice of leather finishes, including water-repellent leather. Along with the SA APERTA and the Ferrari California on the stand at Paris will be the 458 Italia and the 599 GTB Fiorano with the HGTE pack, as well as the Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro Formula 1 car that Alonso drove to victory in the last two Grands Prix.

Oil lubrication
Oil lubrication is recommended for many applications, as different supply methods can be adapted to suit different operating conditions and the machine's design. When selecting the most appropriate oil lubrication method for a bearing arrangement, the following application requirements should be considered:
- required quantity and viscosity of the oil
- speed and hydrodynamic frictional losses
- permissible bearing temperature
The typical relationship between oil quantity / oil flow rate, frictional losses and bearing temperature is shown in diagram 1. The diagram illustrates the conditions in different regions:
Region A
The oil quantity is insufficient to create a hydrodynamic film between the rolling elements and raceways. Metal-to-metal contact leads to increased friction, high bearing temperatures, wear and surface fatigue.
Region B
A larger quantity of oil is available and a cohesive, load-carrying oil film of sufficient thickness to separate the rolling elements and raceways can be formed. Here, the condition is reached where friction and temperature are at a minimum.
Region C
A further increase in oil quantity increases frictional heat due to churning and bearing temperature rises.
Region D
The oil flow quantity increases such that equilibrium between frictional heat generation at the bearing and heat removal by the oil flow is achieved. Bearing temperature peaks.
Region E
With increasing oil flow, the rate at which heat is removed exceeds the frictional heat generated by the bearing. Bearing temperature decreases.
Maintaining low operating temperatures at extremely high speeds generally requires either an oil-air lubrication system or a circulating oil lubrication system with cooling capabilities. With these systems, the operating conditions shown in regions B (oil-air) or E (circulating oil) can be maintained.

The Ravens ruled out cornerback Chris Carr for Sunday's road contest against the Cleveland Browns, but are still maintaining some semblance of hope that inside linebacker Ray Lewis will be able to play.
Lewis, a 12-time Pro Bowler, did not practice for the third consecutive day, but the team still listed him as questionable for the upcoming clash with its AFC North rivals. Lewis, who is dealing with a toe injury on his right foot, has missed the past two games.
Carr did not practice for the second straight day after being limited Wednesday by a recurring back ailment. He will sit out his second consecutive game.
Three players who fully practiced all three days this week – inside linebacker Dannell Ellerbe (hamstring, groin), defensive tackle Arthur Jones (post-concussion symptoms) and rookie running back Anthony Allen (thigh) – are probable for Sunday.
The Browns will play without starting strong safety T.J. Ward after ruling him out. Ward missed his third straight practice with foot and finger injuries.
Two more starters in free safety Mike Adams and right tackle Tony Pashos are questionable. Adams, who practiced on a limited basis for the second consecutive day, has been hampered by an injured shoulder. Pashos was limited for the third straight day by an ankle injury.
Three more starters in quarterback Colt McCoy (right elbow), running back Peyton Hillis (hamstring) and fullback Owen Marecic (head) fully participated for the third consecutive day and are listed as probable.

A Primer on Recycling, Part 1
The recently released 10.0.4 update contained a number of bug fixes and enhancements, but perhaps the most obvious is the new improved Recycle icon. Now that you're more likely to notice it, I thought it might be helpful to give you a brief primer on recycling in Accordance.
Let's start with a new search tab containing an English Bible and the tagged Greek New Testament (GNT-T) in parallel. You'll see the Recycle icon to the right of the search box, and it should be gray. This indicates that recycling is currently turned off for this particular search tab.
Now, let's triple-click a Greek word, such as ἀρχῇ in John 1:1. This will open a new Search tab displaying the definition of ἀρχῇ in your default Greek lexicon. Like this:
Notice how the Recycle icon for the tab containing BDAG is blue, indicating that this tab is set to recycle. What does that mean? You can see immediately what it means by triple-clicking another Greek word, such as λόγος.
Note how the tab containing BDAG was updated to show the definition of λόγος. That's what we mean by recycling: the contents of a tab are recycled to show new information. The alternative would be to open a new tab containing BDAG for each Greek word you triple-click, but if you were to look up more than a few words, this approach would quickly result in a bunch of separate tabs. By recycling the tab which is already set to show the kind of information you want, Accordance avoids unnecessary clutter.
Now, let's say I want to look up a third Greek word, but I don't want to lose the BDAG article on λόγος I currently have open. In that case, I want to turn off recycling for the current BDAG tab before triple-clicking another word. To do that, simply click the recycle icon to make it gray.
Now when you triple-click a Greek word such as θεὸς, a new tab will open showing BDAG's article on θεὸς.
To get back to the BDAG article on λόγος, simply click the first BDAG tab you chose not to recycle.
If you understand how Accordance recycles the contents of tabs like this, you'll be better able to tailor your Accordance workspace to keep what you need to keep and recycle the stuff you only want to look at temporarily. In my next post, I'll delve a little deeper into the ins and outs of recycling.


text: I've just begun to try my hand at yeast breads. I'd like to know when is the best time to freeze yeast doughs, before or after the first rise? —S.D., Blanchardville, WisconsinYeast dough is best frozen after it is kneaded and before the first rise. To freeze dough, divide it into the desired amounts and flatten into disks that are about 1 inch thick. Place flattened dough on baking sheets and freeze for 1 hour. When dough is frozen, remove from the freezer and wrap tightly with either plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Then place in resealable plastic bags and return to the freezer. Dough can be kept frozen for up to 4 weeks. For even thawing, place in the refrigerator overnight. When ready to use, place dough on your kitchen counter; cover it lightly and let it come to room temperature (first rise). Punch the dough down. Proceed as usual with shaping and the second rising.

Boglioli's super-soft handmade tailoring is one of the hottest properties in menswear. MR PORTER visited the label's factory in Brescia, northern Italy, to meet company president Mr Mario Boglioli and learn more about the brand.
A decade ago Mr Pierluigi Boglioli, the brother of Mr Mario Boglioli, had a big idea, which was to take the structure out of the classic tailored jackets that the family firm had been making over the course of four generations. It was a good time to have a big idea because at the height of the dotcom boom the very survival of tailored clothing seemed to be threatened. The result is that Boglioli jackets are infinitely more comfortable than traditional tailored clothes; they feel more like cardigans than blazers and inspire a completely different attitude in the wearer. This is the rarely understood key to dressing like the kind of stylish Italian guys the rest of the world so admires, but struggles to emulate.
However, it's not just the lack of structure that makes a Boglioli jacket special. The other tangible element is the fact that many of the clothes are garment dyed, which means that they're washed and dyed after they've been made, giving a quite different effect from making clothes from pre-dyed cloth. This is hard-won, as one in every 25 jackets is effectively a prototype; every 50m roll of cloth reacts slightly differently to the dyeing process.
Less tangible, but no less important, is the considerable degree of handwork goes into each jacket, and the fact that Boglioli is very much a family business. The issue of family ownership isn't just a nice snippet of knowledge (Mr Boglioli doesn't just know his employees, in many cases he also knows their families), as it means the company can afford to be more creative and playful than is usually the case. Meeting the charming Mr Mario Boglioli over a good lunch reveals that this is something that comes from the top.
A considerable degree of handwork goes into each Boglioli jacket

PERTH/KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Fresh objects spotted by planes searching for a missing Malaysian passenger jet in a new area of the southern Indian Ocean have again raised hopes of unraveling the three-week old mystery.
Australian authorities coordinating the operation dramatically moved the air and sea search 1,100 km (685 miles) north on Friday after new analysis of radar and satellite data concluded Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 travelled faster and for a shorter distance after vanishing from civilian radar screens on March 8.
Australia said late on Friday that five international aircraft had spotted "multiple objects of various colors" in the new search area some 1,850 km (1,150 miles) west of Perth.
Flight Lieutenant Jamin Baker was on a New Zealand Airforce Orion which spotted several items and dropped a marker buoy in "an area of interest".
"Obviously we don't know if these (objects) are associated with the aircraft yet but it certainly looks like we are seeing a lot more debris and just general flotsam in the water, so we could be on to something here," Baker said.
One Chinese navy ship was in the area and would be trying to recover objects on Saturday, while other ships were steaming to the area, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said.
Malaysia says the Boeing 777, which vanished less than an hour into a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, was likely diverted deliberately but investigators have turned up no apparent motive or other red flags among the 227 passengers or the 12 crew.
U.S. officials close to the investigation said the FBI found nothing illuminating in data it had received from computer equipment used by MH370's pilots, including a home-made flight simulator.
The search has involved more than two dozen countries and 60 aircraft and ships but has been bedeviled by regional rivalries and an apparent reluctance to share potentially crucial information due to security concerns.
Malaysian officials said the new search area was the result of a painstaking analysis of Malaysian military radar data and satellite readings from British company Inmarsat carried out by U.S., Chinese, British and Malaysian investigators.
Engine performance analysis by the plane's manufacturer Boeing helped investigators determine how long the plane could have flown before it ran out of fuel and crashed into the ocean, they said.
"Information which had already been examined by the investigation was re-examined in light of new evidence drawn from the Inmarsat data analysis," Malaysia's acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told a news conference on Friday.
For more than a week, ships and surveillance planes had been scouring seas 2,500 km (1,550 miles) southwest of Perth, where satellite images had shown possible debris from Flight MH370. That search zone has now been abandoned.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said the shift was based on analysis of radar data between the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca. At that time, the Boeing 777 was making a radical diversion west from its course.
Malaysia's civil aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, said at Friday's news conference he was "not at liberty" to give the exact path of the aircraft.
Officials close to the investigation told Reuters last week that the plane may have passed close to Port Blair, the capital of India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands, 550 miles further northwest from where Malaysia has said its military radar last detected it.
At around 319,000 sq km (123,000 sq miles) - roughly the size of Poland - the new search area is larger, but closer to Perth, allowing aircraft to spend longer on site. It is also favorable in terms of the weather as it is out of the deep sea region known as the Roaring 40s for its huge seas and frequent storm-force winds.
Searchers have perhaps a week to find debris, calculate the likely crash area and find the aircraft's voice and data "black boxes" before batteries showing their location run out.

Parts scarcity and evolving ATM requirements push airlines to modernize cockpits
As the global trend toward next-generation (NextGen) air traffic management systems evolves, and parts obsolescence issues increase, airlines operating aging fleets are considering upgrading cockpits with modern avionics as replacements for legacy electro-mechanical and electronic flight instrumentation systems (EFIS).
ICF SH&E estimates the avionics upgrade market for air transport was $570 million in 2013, but the consultancy forecasts it to reach $1 billion by 2023—in constant 2013 dollars—for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. "Avionics upgrades are (projected) to increase faster than the overall MRO market, which is growing at a 3.9% CAGR for the period," says Richard Brown, a principal in the London office. "Upgrades are offered for a wide variety of mature programs including MD80s, 757s, 767s, A300/A310s, 737 Classics and Dash 8s."
Operational and bottom line improvements drive the upgrades. "The ability to fly more fuel efficiently, such as using RNP (required navigation performance), and continuous descent, can translate into measurable fuel and time savings for airlines, along with reduced pilot workload and enhanced safety," he explains. "They also reduce maintenance costs by streamlining the number of components, minimizing the issue of component obsolescence and maximizing dispatch reliability."
Brown calls system obsolescence "an increasingly prevalent problem" with mature avionics. "It is frustrating operators as they deal with potentially long spares lead times from avionics OEMs," and try to secure scarce parts for equipment manufactured in the 1980s or early 1990s.
The coming of NextGen air traffic management will be the major driver for commercial airliner avionics upgrades, reports Delmar Fadden, a board member and technical consultant for Sandel Avionics. "NextGen will generate a very large-scale change in the air traffic operational environment, requiring new capabilities to fly more efficiently—such as using RNP routings—from a growing number of airports." This will mean a "significant amount of retrofitting" on older aircraft, to include upgraded flight management systems, autopilots and primary displays, he says.
In the U.S., NextGen is being phased in incrementally over the next five to six years, with widespread implementation by 2020, although Fadden calls that "a moving target." At the same time, he points out, older electromechanical systems will experience high failure rates and reach a point where they will become more difficult to repair.
"When the failure rates increase, the repair costs will become competitive with—or more expensive than—retrofitting with a new system. That's when it's time to replace them," says Fadden.
Dave Bailey, sales director for Esterline CMC Electronics in Canada, cites parts NextGen and obsolescence as a primary driver for upgrades. "There are thousands of aircraft operating with vintage cathode-ray tube (CRT) displays, and with them, increasing reliability and maintainability issues for the airlines," he says. "CRTs are very expensive to repair or replace, and for products with built-in CRTs, repair costs escalate more quickly than average. The cost of repairs [often is] based on the cost of building spare parts for the older items."
CMC recently launched CMA-6800, an LCD/LED form-fit-function CRT replacement display for the ATR 42, ATR 72 and Bombardier Dash 8.
ICF SH&E's Brown suggests that the decision to install new cockpit displays also may be based on a bigger- picture view. "Airlines have to weigh upgrade costs against the increasing maintenance costs generated by the aging engines and airframe," he points out. "Current low capital costs available to purchase new airplanes may encourage some to opt for new equipment, rather than to make the investment to update legacy aircraft such as 737 Classics. However, for other aircraft such as the 757, which performs well as a freighter, upgrades may be a realistic option to extend in-service aircraft life."
The Boeing 757 and 767 have presented an upgrade market opportunity for Rockwell Collins, which announced a cockpit makeover for those airplanes at Farnborough in 2012. This involves replacing the original factory-installed six, 6 X 7-in. CRT displays with three large-format liquid crystal display (LCD) units, diagonally measuring 15.1 in. The OEM expects certification of the new cockpit under an STC in April, reports Craig Peterson, Rockwell Collins's director-air transport avionics marketing. The launch aircraft is a 767-300 operated by an unnamed customer.
"The retrofit will increase reliability and give the operators of those aircraft a springboard to the next-generation air traffic control compliance capabilities, expanded utilization and enhance their aircraft values," says Petersen, noting the combined 757/767 in-service fleet of more than 1,600 presents a robust market. "These airplanes are still viable with respect to their payload, range and fuel efficiencies, which is why we see some significant level of longevity."
The cockpit display upgrade model for 757 and 767 could be duplicated on other platforms, including those with electromechanical, analog cockpits, which Peterson states are "presenting a lot of challenges" today.
"For instance, the 737 Classics still use mechanical airspeed and gyroscopic indications, which have very low reliability rates and high obsolescence challenges when it comes to finding spares," he says. "There is also a matter of weight and display capabilities."
Asked if the 737 Classics are considered by Rockwell Collins as candidates for cockpit retrofits, Peterson says the OEM is always evaluating new opportunities. Shahram Askarpour, president of Innovative Solutions & Support (IS&S), predicts that the avionics retrofit market could total $10 billion over the next 10 years. He predicts the MD- 80/90 series, 737, 757 and 767 aircraft will account for most of the business, with North American and European carriers generating 80% of the market.
"There are also some definite opportunities in the regional airliner market. While it is not one we are retrofitting now, it is certainly on our horizon," Askarpour says.
IS&S's Cockpit/IP flat panel display system has received FAA, Transport Canada and EASA certification as an upgrade for the 757, 767, and 737-300, -400, and -500 models, and Askarpour expects certification in the third quarter for the MD-88 and MD-90 aircraft—specifically to replace older EFIS, flight management and standby systems. The installation reduces component count while using the existing wiring, and overcomes the shortcomings of the flight management systems.
With more aircraft being retired in favor of newer, more fuel-efficient models, the avionics upgrade market could take a hit. While Askarpour agrees this could reduce the market's size, he notes that operators purchasing new aircraft will have to wait years for delivery—and make do with their existing fleets in the interim.
"This is even true of aircraft that went into service in the 1990s such as the Boeing 777. Those aircraft are now flying with equipment that is already 20 years old, and it's that age group that represents the next wave of demand for a cockpit retrofit."
Rocky Mountain Aircraft in Canada is experiencing growing demand for modern avionics installations. According to Tim Shaw, avionics manager of the MRO and leasing company, 80% of his avionics business is focused on cockpit upgrades. "The trend we are seeing is toward full avionics upgrades, rather than partial replacements involving an instrument here or there," he says.
Shaw reports that in 2013, about 20% of the aircraft that came to the facility for avionics modifications underwent full, new generation cockpit upgrades, generating about 50% of the company's avionics-derived revenue. "For 2014, we expect that full upgrades will grow to 30%, and 60% of the avionics repair and modification sales."
"With the upcoming (NextGen) requirements, more operators are taking into consideration the unreliability of the existing equipment, the growing scarcity of parts and high repair costs," Shaw adds.
That translates into more upgrade visits. "Until about 2010, we did one complete modern avionics installation per year. Today, it's one every two months," notes Shaw.

Brazil win South America Men's Championship for 29th time
Brazil, who have won every edition of the tournament apart from one in 1964 when Argentina claimed the honours when Brazil didn't participate, had to hold off a determined old rival in Argentina who won the first set and then came back to win the fourth as well in a match lasting two hours and two minutes in the Coliseum Alfredo Barreto, in the resort of Cabo Frio.
After both teams had booked their places for the FIVB Volleyball Men's World Championship Poland 2014 on Friday by reaching the final, they put on a terrific display worthy of the two best countries in the continent and two of the best in the world. Brazil's win also qualified them for the FIVB Volleyball Grand Champions Cup in November.
Argentina with Federico Pereyra, Pablo Crer, Rodrigo Quiroga, Sebastian Sole and Nicolas Uriarte to the fore, took the lead in the first set and with captain Quiroga on form, Argentina stayed ahead on the scoreboard throughout the first set to win 25-19 in 26 minutes.
World No. 1 Brazil, who came into the tournament off a second place finish in the FIVB Volleyball World League in Mar del Plata, got better and dominated the second set, which was highlighted by the service and the centre points of Sidao, who was back in Brazil's main team back after three months and a half out following back surgery.
After Argentina, who finished sixth in the World League, won the first set and Brazil the second 25-20, the hosts used the crowd superbly to win the third 25-19 in 26 minutes however in the fourth, Argentina pressed, disputed every pointand lead at the second technical time 16-15. They maintained their slight advantage all the way, with Quiroga still pulling the strings, closing a dramatic fourth set 26-24 in 32 minutes taking the game to a tie-break.
Brazil continued to play at a high level and with the public support showed their class winning 15-10.
Quiroga was the top scorer of the match with 18 points while for Brazil, Sidao led the way with 17.
Brazil have beaten Argentina into second place at the South American Championships 16 times.
It is the 10th time the South American Championships have been held in Brazil, more than any other country, including the first edition in Rio de Janeiro in 1951.
"I'm pleased to claim this title with a good personal performance," Sidao said. "I passed through tough moments because of surgery but I had a lot of people on my side. I had a short time to prepare but I worked hard. Now I can sleep happy, with a feeling that the work has been done."
"The crowd came to the gymnasium in all the games and gave us full support," Brazil captain Bruno said. "That was really important to win this title."
"I'm really happy, this is the first title of this new generation," Mario said. "This title is important to this process. We knew that this one as going to be the toughest match, and we had to play hard to win it."
"I'm not satisfied because we wanted the title but Argentina played very well and showed its level," Quiroga said.

Ryan Leaf, who used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders, was in a drug rehab center after pleading guilty to breaking into houses to steal prescription painkillers. He's not in rehab any longer.
"The Montana Department of Corrections terminated Leaf from the treatment program and placed him in prison after he was found guilty of behavior that violated conditions of his drug treatment placement," Dawn Handa, regional probation and parole administrator in Great Falls, said in a statement. "The violations included threatening a program staff member."

FIVB World Ranking champs off to winning start at South American Games
All four teams won without dropping a set and Talita and Lima started with a 2-0 (21-6, 21-6) victory over Colombia's Erica Zuluaga and Cindy Penaloza.
The win was their 100th as a partnership since they joined together at the start of 2013 and shows that they are in good form just over a month before they begin the defence of their title.
The other women's team of FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships bronze medallists Liliane Maestrini and FIVB U19 world champion Eduarda 'Duda' Santos Lisboa also began the Games in winning style, with a 2-0 (21-9, 21-8) win against Chile's Maria Josefina Velez and Pilar Mardones.
In the men's competition Brazil's Emanuel Rego will remember his debut at the tournament after he and Pedro Salgado were pushed hard by Argentina's number one duo Pablo Bianchi and Facundo Del Coto, a team they know well from the South American circuit.
Despite having to fight hard to control the match at times Emanuel and Pedro's quality shone through at tight moments and they finished with a 2-0 (21-14, 23-21) victory.
Emanuel's former partner Allison Cerutti and Bruno Schmidt completed the winning start for Brazil when they beat Chilean duo Cristobal Martinez and Rodrigo Salinas, 2-0 (21-9, 21-15).
The South American Games are currently taking place in Santiago, Chile from March 7-18, with the beach volleyball competition running from March 12-15.

Many people struggle when it comes to putting pen to paper with what exactly to say in a thank-you letter. Below is an example letter to give those with writer's block some inspiration. It is by no means the most perfect thank-you letter, but it is certainly a more than acceptable one. As I said last week, these letters do not have to be make literary history – remember that a rather basic letter is better than no letter at all.
Dear Samantha,
We are, once again, in awe of your culinary skills. Thank you so much for a delicious dinner last night. It was such a wonderful evening and David and I had so much fun.
It was such a surprise to see your brother after so long – the last time we saw him must have been at your wedding; we enjoyed hearing what he had been up to over the past few years. He sounds like he has been very busy.
Once again, our most sincere thanks. You must also give me the recipe for that trifle – David has not stopped going on about how much he enjoyed it.
We look forward to seeing you all next week at Simon's.
With every best wish,
As I also said last week, once a formula is learned that writing such letters will become much easier.
One final word on thank-you letters – always sent by first-class post, or delivered by hand.
William Hanson

Not only did I pop the champaign, I was sooo happy for tonights show, I made T-Bone Steaks on the grill!!!!!! That was a hell of a party!
I'd lie and deceit too if I was on amazing race...
I do think that Rob & Amber are very entertaining. But I just find a certain poetic justice in the fact that they lied to Charla and Mirna earlier in this leg of the race, then get beat by them later.

Understanding Isolated Storage - Day 3 - Part 6
Each Windows Phone 7 application is allocated space on the phone's flash drive where it can store information in a solitary area that cannot be accessed by other applications. The application can save any type of file or data here. In this video, Bob demonstrates how to utilize this feature to create new files or open existing files (like text files), read them, and display their information on the Phone's display.

Isolated Storage, ListBox and DataTemplates - Day 3 - Part 7
The Discussion
Hi Bob
Where abouts is isolated storage found on the computer during wp7 emulation? This would be convenient to know for debugging.
I am getting errors on the "IsolatedStorageFile" and "StreamWriter" items in the code. I have both verified the code is the same as the video and copied the Code from the MainPage.Xaml.cs source code and it still flags it as an error.
I'm also getting the same issues with IsolateStorageFile and StreamWriter :/
If you pause the video at 3:14, you can see that new code appears in lines 13 and 14. Adding the following code to lines 13 and 14 appears to solve the issue.
using System.IO.IsolatedStorage;
using System.IO;
this also brings up the (small) issue, that if someone were to get this exact example from the marketplace and click the "open" button before anything was saved, you would have the same issue as when restarting your phone emulator, i.e. the unhandled exception. make sure to use some kind of error-catching, or at least a simple if statement to check whether the file exists.
The thing is the data stored are not overwritten when a new data is stored. hence when the new data (e.g. 12345) has less characters than the previous data (e.g. 987654321), and when we recall the data, the part of the prvious data after the new data is recalled as well (e.g. 123454321).
So how do we completely clear out the previous data when the new data is stored?
Very cool indeed.
Great video series!!
My question relates to the saved file (simple.txt) and the open/recall function. When the user enters new information and saves it to the flash memory of the device, the old entry is not completely overwritten. The user has to termintate the program to completely clear the initial message from the flash memory. Is there a fix to this? If so, what is it? That would have been a great ending to this video...and helped me tremendously!
@Shawn: You need to delete the file before writing with something like
(IsolatedStorageFile storage = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
Hi, i have a question:
if I switch off my phone after saved my file, when i restart the phone the file is deleted, clear, or is the same that i have svaed before?

Each program or unit participating in the assessment process uses an outcome based approach. Academic programs use student learning outcomes as the basis for their assessment program while non-academic units may use a combination of non-student learning outcomes and student learning outcomes.
Student learning outcomes should describe what the students will know or be able to do and should be stated using action verbs as described in Bloom's taxonomy. Clearly written student learning outcomes articulate faculty or staff expectations about what knowledge is to be learned and what skills, attitudes, and behaviors are to be developed by students involved in the program or unit. Student learning outcomes should be meaningful, measurable, and aligned with the mission of the unit, the mission of the university, the core values of the university, and possibly the current strategic plan and the core components of the Higher Learning Commission's (HLC) criteria for accreditation. Some student learning outcomes may be aligned with general education student learning outcomes.
Non-academic units may have outcomes relating to student/client satisfaction, student engagement, and unit performance. Outcomes should not be phrased in terms of what activities the unit is engaged in, but rather in terms of the desired outcomes of the unit. As with student learning outcomes, outcomes from non-academic units should be meaningful, measurable, and aligned, when appropriate, to the mission of the unit, the mission of the university, the core values of the university, the current strategic plan, and the components of the HLC's criteria for accreditation.

We're thrilled to introduce Sunday Dinners, a new biweekly column from our own Tom Hirschfeld featuring his gorgeous photography, stunning Indiana farm, and mouthwatering family meals.
This week: teaching an old bird new tricks.
- Tom
I was in the mood to tinker. I had been thinking a lot about Coq au Vin, which was weird since I pretty much always found the dish muddled. It's one of those stews that cooks so long it is hard to distinguish any one real flavor, but I guess I was thinking about it because it was such a classic French farmhouse dish, and the one French dish that most Americans had heard of vis-à-vis Julia Child. It had been a long time since I had made it, years in fact, and I had to wonder, knowing my cooking skills had improved considerably since then, if it might not be better this time around.
I decided I would patiently wait on Sunday. Then I would get my classic French cuisine on, put on some pre-1930s jazz, and start the day by making Pain de Campagne, clarifying butter, peeling carrots, and trimming pearl onions. I would spend the day in the kitchen, my happy place, with a fire in the fireplace and the girls and their Momma just an eyeshot away playing games at the kitchen table.
It used to be I would only let Vivian name the chickens Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner so she wouldn't get attached. That way, when anyone asked her a chicken's name, she would answer appropriately depending on which chicken was being pointed to. Nevertheless, over time she developed a disliking for the roosters and only wanted to eat them. She had been telling me for a month we needed to eat Rusty. Rusty has been a good rooster though, and age was his pardon this time around. I would cull a younger bird.
If I was going to do this I was going whole hog, so I set in by air chilling, in the fridge in the garage, a 24-week-old rooster that I just brought back from the processor along with a few geese and ducks that I had also raised. They needed a little hang time so the natural enzymes in the meat would do their thing and tenderize the birds a bit — after all, there was no need to rush into this thing.
The flavor profile of a rooster is what interests me. It is different, wildly different — wild might be the closest term, though maybe not exact. No, it isn't gamey, it's unctuous, and the breed I butchered, a Black Langshan, is dark, darker than turkey thighs, with extremely rich meat that's even sticky like braised short ribs or beef cheeks. It's something that many Americans have never eaten.
Never eaten because rumor has always foretold of a tough, virtually inedible bird. I am here to tell you that if you raise your heritage breed rooster to optimal butchering age, it will be far from inedible, and more like incredible. Now, that doesn't mean you are going to roast it in the oven at a high temperature until it is dry and tough, but rather that you are going to fit the right cooking method to the right type of bird. With a rooster, you want to braise it.
The meat sizzled as I gently laid the it into the hot clarified butter, but it didn't splatter. It didn't splatter because it was air chilled, so when it hit the oil excess water didn't spew and pop grease everywhere. The skin became very brown and crispy. I added the mirepoix. The smell was ridiculous as the chicken fat mingled with the butter and vegetables. I scraped around on the bottom of the pan getting at all the little brown and tasty bits. The wine sizzled when it hit the bottom of the pan deglazing the rest of the stuck on goodness. Then the glug glug glug as the whole bottle of wine emptied. The house was starting to smell so good. The wine reduced and I added the stock. I went over to the table and sat down with the girls to play a game of Clue, my stomach grumbled.
Coq au Vin
A great way to serve this would be over Aliwaks's Fluffy Mashed Potatoes.
Serves 4 clarified butter 3 1/2 pound rooster or fryer, quartered 1 bottle burgundy or pinot noir 2 onions, peeled, trimmed, and quartered 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks 2 celery stalks, washed, trimmed, and cut into 1 inch chunks 1 leek, top only, rinsed (save the whites for another dish) 6 thyme sprigs 5 curly leaf parsley sprigs 5 cups rich goose, duck, or chicken stock 2 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper piece of parchment paper cut into a round to fit the pot 8 smallish carrots, about 1/2 inch round, peeled and trimmed 8 boiler onions, peeled and trimmed a healthy handful of mushrooms, if they are large cut in half and scored 8 ounces slab of unsmoked bacon or pancetta

My Craftsman Swap with Bendyworks
This post was originally published on the Elabs blog, before Elabs and Varvet joined forces.
Last week I flew from Sweden to Madison, WI to work for a week together with the developers at Bendyworks, or as they call themselves, Bendyworkers.
After the 23 hour flight I was met by Stephen who didn't hesitate for a moment to welcome me to Madison in the middle of the night on a Sunday. Over the week I've learned that a great talent for hospitality is something that all the Bendyworkers have in common. Even though it was late Stephen gave me a quick tour around the beautiful Capitol building located right next to Bendywork's office.

Bendyworkers perform their craft in a rustic triangle-shaped building built before the 1900's. The office is located right downtown and is surrounded by a bursting number of cafés, restaurants, and even a theatre. Inside I found that the rooms are all very open and people are moving naturally between desks and programming pairs. During Bendywork's monthly "release valve" meeting I learned that not even the owners Stephen, Brad, and Jim take a dedicated office for granted. To me this illustrates well how flat and transparent the company structure is at Bendyworks.
I had the opportunity to work on two different projects over the week. On Monday I worked together with Chris on a CMS for Internet Week New York. The project was wrapping up, since all the major features already were delivered we got some time to spend on refactoring a few acceptance tests and have them execute faster. Tuesday through Thursday I paired up with Josh on work for SEOmoz. Josh has some serious shell and terminal vim skills going on, while I'm more of a mvim user depending a bit more on Mac OS X to do window handling for me. The SEOmoz work spanned across three different Rails-based applications with a very heavy emphasis on client side JavaScript.

Bendyworkers all have a genuine passion for their craft. When they don't attend meetups they're working on numerous open source projects or catching up with their self-assigned book club related homework. Lunches are spent preparing for the book club or sharing knowledge through more organized presentations, like when Joe had a great walkthrough of his blogpost on giving yourself a security makeover.
With all that time spent on perfecting their craft you'd think Bendyworkers wouldn't know how to have fun. Well, you're wrong. Ping-pong games, comedy clubs, taco-tuesdays, arcade halls, great food and drinks just to name a few of the activities Bendyworkers have treated me to over the week.
With that, I'd like to thank Bendyworks for a week full of fun, productive, and educational experiences!

night scene on a foot stool
I saw a little felted stool in Anthropologie that was really cool. It was something like $280 so I came home and made my own.
Originally I had a day scene with a lake, a little cabin, some ducks and trees and whatnot. The background was made from a green wool sweater that I felted in the washing machine. I needle felted most of the flowers, trees and ducks but sewed on the little house. Apparently I didn't "needle" enough. Within a few days, Naiya had pulled everything but the house from the stool. I decided that I'd rather make something that she could actually play with instead of something just pretty to look at, so I began again. This time I made the night scene and sewed everything on by hand. The background and skyline silhouette are again felted sweaters. The windows and stars are cut out of craft felt. (They just as easily could have been sweaters as well, but I didn't have those colors.) It stands about 15 inches high and is pretty sturdy but not a very good stool. The styrofoam interior was intended for decor and not for sitting upon. Great to play with though. And one of my favorite creations so far.

New immunization approach in Ethiopia reaches more children
A new approach to routine immunization in the rural Afar region in north-eastern Ethiopia nearly quadrupled the numbers of children vaccinated against measles, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio and other diseases in 2010 (from as low as 22% to nearly 80% coverage in the target area). The immunization activity used "community champions" to encourage nomadic, pastoral families to have their children vaccinated and introduced new approaches such as task shifting to improve service delivery to these hard-to-reach populations.
The Enhanced Routine Immunization Activity (ERIA) had already generated strong results among nomadic, pastoral families on a small scale in the neighbouring Somali region. With support from WHO and partners, health officials replicated the approach on a larger scale in Afar to reach more children.
Mekeya is a mother of four from a large rural settlement called Anderkalo. Her children have been able to complete their immunization schedules with the new services. For her, the public health value of vaccination is clear: "Immunization benefits children and mothers. It protects children from deadly diseases. Children who are immunized are healthier than others."
The need for enhanced immunization services
Very low child immunization coverage in Afar had been troubling health officials for some time. Not only is the region remote, but much of its population is nomadic, moving regularly in search of water and grass to sustain the animals on which its livelihood depends.
This makes it hard to get children immunized. Child immunizations were mostly available at health posts in urban centres, leaving many children in rural areas at risk of infectious diseases, according to Amin Arba, head of a district health office in the region.
Then a deadly measles outbreak killed many children in Afar.
"Seeing the high death rates among unimmunized children during the epidemic and knowing those who survived had been immunized, local community leaders were prompted to demand better access to immunization services," he explained.
Health partners work together to replicate success
WHO responded by working with health officials and partners to replicate the ERIA approach.
"WHO saw the potential of what had worked in one setting and then led the community advocacy to expand its reach and results," said Dr Khaled Bessaoud, Acting WHO Representative for Ethiopia.
"We were able to boost immunization coverage in a short time, with relatively low costs, by investing in measures that had shown success, and filling in the gaps with technical assistance where it was needed," he added.
The activity focussed on bringing together community champions to support the effort and motivate parents to get their children vaccinated.
WHO facilitated a partnership among political and religious leaders, government health offices, non-governmental organizations, UNICEF and other partners – by, for example, organizing a regional interagency coordinating committee - to win local support, expand the health workforce and plan and implement a vaccine delivery plan to meet local conditions.
The three-month operation took immunization services to children where they lived. Health workers were trained to administer vaccines; health extension workers registered children for immunizations and followed up their progress through home visits, and rural health posts were set up and equipped with vaccine cold-chain supplies to increase access to services.
Better capacity for immunization services
There were health capacity benefits to the experience as well.
"The activity changed our ways of working to get children vaccinated. It improved our planning skills and built local capacity to mobilize and coordinate whole communities," explained Taher Juhar, a primary health worker at one of the Afar health posts.
Immunization is a one of the most cost-effective public health tools to prevent serious infectious diseases. WHO estimates that immunization averts anything between 2 and 3 million deaths each year globally.

ABC TV is still working on a version of its iview streaming service for Android, with no release date set for the app yet, a member from iview said.
Sally O'Donoghue, manager iview and Internet broadcasting at ABC TV, told an Australian Centre for Broadband Innovation conference today that ABC TV was readying itself for a change in consumer viewing expectations.
With over 1 million downloads of iview in June, O'Donoghue said more and more users are accessing iview through tablets and mobile devices.
In 2010, 80 per cent of iview users were watching the video platform on their laptops and desktop computers through a browser, she said.
In 2012, iview access on smartphones and tablets accounted for 41 per cent of usage.
"By 2014 monthly active users of iview on smartphone and tablet devices is expected to be greater than 6 million and 76 per cent of iview viewing in 2014 will be via mobile devices," O'Donoghue said.
"Consumption of video on all devices continues to grow, but mobile and personal devices is really driving that growth."
ABC TV released its iview app for iPhones in June this year, with ABC TV telling Computerworld Australia it was also developing iview for Android. However, the operating system has proven challenging for the broadcaster with iview.
"The fragmentation of the Android platform and the number of devices makes it challenging for us to develop, test and support these devices at present," O'Donoghue has previously said.
ABC TV also stated it was working towards a redevelopment of iview in HTML5 to more easily target a greater number of Android devices and screen sizes and other mobile platforms.
The broadcaster is also looking to improve the quality of its video platform – "one of our greatest challenges in terms of funding growth" – and adapting to changing consumer patterns.
It is also looking to extend the iview service from pure catch-up videos and is in negotiations for the rights to offer "more convinence in how people watch the content".
"Algorithmic and social recommendations are areas that we are investigating in conjunction with NICTA as part of their work on content distribution and discovery," O'Donoghue said.
"One of the core drivers of the project is reducing the difficulty we face in supporting and updating our platforms and extending to new platforms such as Android. We have limited resources and we're a small team."

Saturday is the second annual Career Day at the B.C. Aviation Museum, featuring some of the region's big players in the industry.
Students from all over Vancouver Island — and the two closest school districts to the mainland ferry terminal at Tsawassen — have been invited to meet with aviation industry representatives, as well as colleges that specialize in aviation education. Museum President Stephen Gordon said their first Career Day, held last year, was a success with more than 200 students coming through their doors.
"We're hoping there will be more this year," Gordon said.
There is no charge to exhibitors and educators, who will be setting up booths and tables in the main museum display area. Gordon said the objective is to use the facility to advance the aviation industry as best it can — while itself a tribute to what has gone before.
"It's a way of giving something back to the industry," he explained, "and repaying all of the public support we have received over the years."
Co-sponsored by the Victoria Airport Authority, itself an exhibitor, there will 11 to 13 other groups at Career Day: Action Ultralights, Department of National Defence, Viking Air, University of Victoria, Victoria Flying Club, Transport Canada, North Island College, NAV Canada, West Jet, Victoria Airport Firefighters and Coastal Pacific Aviation. Another two potential exhibitors had not confirmed as of press time.
Career Day takes place Saturday, Feb. 23 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the B.C. Aviation Museum, 1910 Norseman Rd. at the east end of the airport.

I see Yegge's Lisp is not an Acceptable Lisp post has been submitted to reddit again. What he actually means is I don't like Lisp.
Lisp is an Acceptable Lisp
If a Lisp has s-expressions, cons cells and atoms, it is probably an acceptable lisp even if it isn't to you or Yegge. Emacs Lisp – fine1, cripple scheme from SICP – fine, SBCL – fine, Clojure fine. Racket fine. They're all fine perfectly acceptable lisps.
I don't care to dispute any of his points – none of them have anything to do with lispiness. They are just reasons he doesn't like lisp.
A programming language doesn't owe you anything. If I said Perl 5 is not an acceptable Perl maybe because it isn't fast enough, or I'm not good enough to write a parser and port it to alternative runtimes people would rightly think I was crazy. Those complaints have nothing to do with what makes Perl Perl.
Ruby is not a Lisp
The related meme Ruby (or Python or Perl) is an acceptable Lisp is even more ridiculous. Roughly translated that means I don't know what Lisp is. Yes, even if it is Norvig saying it.
I can't [be bothered to] define precisely what makes a Lisp, but I know what it is when I see it. Ruby aint it.
I thought the X is or is not an acceptable Lisp had gone for good.
I may be a couple of years late to this rant, but it felt good to get it off my chest.
1. Obviously I have plenty of complaints, like lack of proper lexical scoping (require 'cl hacks not withstanding) and reader macros, but it is still an acceptable, even a pretty good lisp.
