This week in ELO has brought a game balance problem to my attention. Now that Copy Bonus cards are becoming a little bit more prominent, and many clans are getting powerful 8 power cards, SoB clans are starting to feel outdated. In UR's delicate ecosystem, SoB clans were usually a balancing force. They messed up games for clans that have incredibly good synergy between bonus and ability. A good deck had to be able to defend against both SoA and SoB without losing the ability to win rounds.
A good example of how damaging underpowered SoB clans are to the game is Jungo. Askai is currently unbanned, and the vast majority of ELO players are either running him or have tried to run him this week. If SoB clans weren't weak in the current metagame, running Jungo would pose a risk of a low damage draw, even with Askai. Many Jungo staples have mediocre damage, if they are deprived of their bonus. With SoB clans too weak to threaten Jungo, they are becoming overused. The same can be said of All Stars... Deprived of their incredible round-winning bonus, they struggle to secure the rounds they need. However with Saki's arrival, and Robb Cr unbanned, All Stars pack an even bigger round winning punch and gain the ability to wall vs SoB clans.
Has anyone else noticed this? I think Lizbeth is a step in the right direction, but her price puts her out of reach of many players...
KillerYuri Hero Monday 17/09/2012, 17:00
I don't think SOB can really threaten Jungo that much
Well SoB clans are strong and can fight montana or rescue so easy.Take for example Raeth or Taljion hand vs rescue,not to mention nightmare's raw power.Yea saki is strong and she is doing miracles and i guess beeboy is a beast(haven't seen him in action yet) ,sometimes u have to use rock vs scissors or ban them
Azeem- Titan Harbingers of Ares Monday 17/09/2012, 21:42
Nightmare + Piranas are getting more and more cards , I personally think that Rescue also need more cards , No one cares bout Rescue anymore.
Blue_Muffin Master Monday 17/09/2012, 23:15
Piranas are fine. Sure, a bit lacking in Life Manipulation compared to most other clans but otherwise they're fine.
Nightmare should actually be pretty strong right now. Lots of Life Manipulation cards like Karrion, Artus, Cutey, ect.
ghelas Titan E X C A L I B U R Tuesday 18/09/2012, 02:29
@ Blue_Muffin: If SoB clans are fine, where were they last week? Piranas had a great release, even!
@ DareSurfMeHOA: Rescue is still a bit OP; best attack bonus and an abundance of high-gap cards. I maintain that even with the new bans, they are one of the easiest clans to play in ELO.
@ Killer_Yuri: With an abundance of low-star staples that deal 1-3 base damage, Jungo needs to fight much harder to overcome SoB. A draw of 1/1/3/7 or 1/3/3/6 base damage would be an uphill fight vs SoB clans, while the same hands look pretty strong against other clans. The same applies to Jungo in a half deck.

I think the overall issue is....how do we strengthen a clan so it doesn't absolutely die against another clan, wihout making it too strong?
Saki and Beeboy are good examples of cards that were made to assist their clan
wats_happenin Titan Casual Grind Tuesday 18/09/2012, 08:17
Sorry sent before i finished
However....the cards aforementioned were a bit too strong in that, not only did they help against SOB but they completely steamrolled the clans that their clan was already good against.
I don't think we really want a Rock/paper/scissors situation in ELO...I don't want to have my Nightmare...then be like 'oh look AS I win'...'oh no skeelz i lose' like it used to be with Skeelz/rescue/gheist
However I think Ghelas is right in that we do need to help our SOB clans a bit since the meta now revolves around beast abilities.
ON saying that though I think it's simply difficult to release good new cards without completely destroying something else somewhere. I mean let's say we give Piranas the DR they need...a good one! They will be everywhere then we'll be complaining 'oh look SOB clans are too strong, what happened to the other clans? WHy do rescue suck now?'

The decline of SOB is related to the decline of the SOA clans.
the SOB clans tended to have medium power and nasty abilities. They could turn most matches into pill fights and have scarier abilities and enough power to have the advantage... .like what Montana or Rescue vs Piranas used to look like.
the power creep has hurt the SOB clans quite a bit. There are more 8 powered cards that have advantage over them in a pill fight. There are nasty abilities out there that match or surpass their own. Protect Bonus/Ability and Copy Bonus have hurt them too.
The game overall has become more about nasty abilities paired with high power. Power creep has had a huge impact on the meta of this game, and that will not change until the pool of cards available in a given mode is altered. There are so many good cards out there now that many clans are able to put out solid mono decks.
SOB still has its place, just not as big as it used to be. Much like how the Roots and Gheist have a much reduced role due to bans to their line up.
ghelas Titan E X C A L I B U R Tuesday 18/09/2012, 19:10
@Wats_Happenin: I definitely see your point, but I think it's just a matter of being a little more careful with the new cards. Beeboy would have been fine if he was Courage, Revenge, or Confidence-based. Saki would have been fine if she had 1 less power -- still a good card, but not something deserving bans.
It's honestly okay for clans to have weaknesses... Because what that does is encourage dual-clan decks and more creative play. I don't think that we should shoot for having clans that hold up okay against everything. That just results in a game that's more based on guesswork than good strategy and good deck composition. Can you imagine this game with 22 clans that ALL work great in Mono?
@Waster: Interesting take, but I think that the answer is much more simple. Power creep is a necessary evil, but it needs to be equal. We're at a point where it wouldn't be so bad if 100% of cards released were cards that weaker clans desperately need. After a few months of that, we would probably have a healthier looking meta-game.
I find SoA clans to be rather prominent on most weeks, myself. Roots have transformed from a SoA DR clan into a SoA attack manip clan, which is almost as much of pain. At high enough ELO, you tend to see a lot of them. GHEIST are fairly strong as well -- they're just better in a half-deck. Also, a good splash, such as Spiaghi, makes up for what these clans are lacking right now.
Azeem- Titan Harbingers of Ares Tuesday 18/09/2012, 20:36
Ghelas , Beeboy + Saki are going to get banned majority of the time
And UR do try to strengthen all the clans one at a time no worries Nightmare will get some more Beast Bannable Cards

I am doing research on harassment and groping by police officers in New York City while conducting Stop & Frisks. Specifically those who are aggressive and engage in inappropriate frisking methods, like groping, when dealing with gender non-conforming and trans* subjects. I am looking for data/statistics, police reports, or just first hand accounts of these sorts of interactions. What I've found so far has been extremely sparse. Thank you.

The Missouri State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause of a fire that leveled a church in Anutt in northern Dent County Wednesday morning.
The Missouri State Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the cause of a fire that leveled a church in Anutt in northern Dent County Wednesday morning.
Fire crews from at least four different fire departments responded to the blaze at Anutt United Methodist Church near the intersection of Highways O and C, about 15 miles south of Rolla.
No one was in the church at the time and nobody was injured.
The Lenox Rural Fire Department, Dent County Fire Protection District, Edgar Springs Fire Protection District and Rolla Rural Fire Protection District all responded. Dent County sheriff's deputies and Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers also responded.
Firefighters used so much water from a nearby pond that it ran dry and crews had to use tanker trucks to shuttle in water from Salem Memorial District Hospital, according to Kyle Good, of the Lenox Fire Department.
While Good was not among the first crews to arrive, when he did around 10 a.m., he said, "The building was somewhat still standing but the roof on the chapel had collapsed."
Good said he believes the fire started in the chapel and then moved to a crawl space in the attic. The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.
"We were unable to save it," Good said.
A passerby noticed the fire and reported it, Good noted.
Firefighters were still on the scene early Wednesday afternoon, pushing debris out of the way to get to underlying fires.
Barbara Loyd, pastor of the church, and Jim Swenka, chairman of the church board, watched firefighters as they worked the scene of the fire.
"We just have no idea what we're going to do at this point," said Loyd, noting that the church has insurance coverage.
"I don't know what our future plans are," Swenka said, echoing Loyd's comments.
While Loyd said the congregation at the church was small, "they are super faithful."
Loyd said the church has been around since at least 1890, but had since been rebuilt. She said one of the items in the church that she believes burned was a history book of the church with old newspaper clippings.
However, other items like the church membership books, are in a safe deposit box.
Swenka said he has been attending the church since the early 1980s. He noted the building had electric heating and cooling, not gas.

The Duchess of Cambridge is to scale back her royal commitments as her due date gets closer.
Kate, who married Prince William in April 2011, is expecting her first child in July and is expected to take maternity leave around mid June.
The mum-to-be is determined to work as close to her due date as possible, and will visit Southampton on June 13th as she officially names Princess Cruises' new Royal Princess.
The royal will be following tradition as both Princess Diana and The Queen have taken part in similar ceremonies.
As the Duchess christens Princess Cruises' 3,600-passenger Royal Princess, the Royal Marines and the pipers of the Irish Guards will perform at the Southampton celebration.
The ceremony will be Kate's final solo engagement before she takes maternity leave ahead of her July birth date. The engagement will begin the Duchess's break in her royal working life, and the event echos her very first engagement.
In February 2011, Kate and William, just two months before their wedding, attended Trearddur Bay, near William's Anglesey base, where the royal couple took part in a RNLI lifeboat naming ceremony.
Since then, Kate has increased her royal duties, and become an essential member of the Royal family. Kate has taken on several charities close to her heart including children's hospices and spent time volunteering with the Scouts.
The pregnant Duchess has also travelled abroad with the Prince on royal tours, including visits to Canada, US, Denmark and South-East Asia.
In December 2012, the royal couple announced they were expecting their first child as Kate was admitted to hospital with severe morning sickness leading the Duchess to pull out of several engagements before resuming them in early January.
A royal source told The Mirror: "Kate has really enjoyed her job and wanted to work as close to the birth date as possible."
After Kate's final solo engagement she will join the Royal Family for Trooping the Colour on June 15, which St. James's Palace confirmed earlier today.
It is expected after the birth Kate will take time off as she begins life as a mother, although it is not known how long the Duchess will take time off for, with a spokesman revealing details would be confirmed at a later date. "We're not really in a position to talk about that yet. A lot of this information will come out once the baby's been born".
Last month, it was suggested William and Kate will take their baby on tour with them in 2014, similar to Prince Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales who took William with them as a baby.
Prince William, as a baby travelled to Australia with his parents, and like William's mother Kate will juggle royal duties with parenthood.
"Just as Diana had to cope with a baby and an increase in duties, so will Kate." royal correspondent Robert Jobson explained.
Earlier this week, Kate showed off her blossoming baby bump as she attended the Queen's Coronation service at Westminster Abbey, the first time The Duke and Duchess had visited the Abbey since their lavish wedding ceremony in 2011.

Hutchins enjoys grand slam return
Ross Hutchins was relishing the feeling of being a grand slam winner again after achieving the latest milestone in his remarkable comeback from cancer.
Twelve months ago the 28-year-old doubles specialist was beginning six months of chemotherapy to get rid of the Hodgkin's lymphoma that had invaded his body.
Hutchins had to build up his fitness from nothing after being told he was in remission in July, but on a baking hot Melbourne afternoon he and Scot Colin Fleming beat Marinko Matosevic and Michal Przysiezny 4-6 6-4 6-0 in the first round of the Australian Open.
It was Hutchins' first victory since his return to the tour, which came earlier this month in Brisbane.
He said: "It's an amazing feeling to be back, and especially to get our first win since coming back in 2014.
"I think we have played some good tennis throughout this year so far, but unfortunately we lost our first two matches. My level probably wasn't as high as I hoped it had been.
"But I think we did well to dig out a win today. It was actually brilliant to be honest, and I'm loving the feeling right now.
"This is a fantastic tournament, and I'm just thrilled to be back involved and back able to hopefully try to win more matches."
Hutchins approached his illness and debilitating treatment with a remarkable positivity and has been welcomed back with a huge degree of affection by the tennis world.
But the Londoner is adamant he does not want to be seen as a victim, and victories on the court are what matter to him now.
He said: "It's been nice to see a lot of people. I have had a huge amount of support.
"But I don't want people to feel sorry for me. After we lost in the first week, (Jeremy) Chardy was saying to his coach he felt bad for beating me.
"I'm like, 'No, don't'. I'm a player and I want to be treated as a player. Today again, at the end of the match the guys shook hands and said it was great to see me back.
"That's really nice, it means a lot to me to have people actually say that because I did miss the tour a lot, and especially I missed playing with Colin and hanging around with the guys and just seeing the guys that you see week in and week out."
Fleming and Hutchins made a nervous start in a football-type atmosphere drifting across from the neighbouring court where Bosnian fans, complete with an accordion, were enthusiastically supporting Damir Dzumhur.
Hutchins dropped serve with a poor volley and they could not get back into the set, with Fleming taking a medical time-out to have his left thigh massaged.
The critical moments of the match came at the end of the second set.
First Hutchins saved two break points in the ninth game before a volley winner from the Londoner gave the British pair their first break and the set.
Australian Matosevic and Pole Przysiezny never recovered from the blow and it took Fleming and Hutchins only 20 minutes to race through the deciding set.
Hutchins said: "The start of today's match, I think we were both a little bit nervous. We wanted it a bit badly. I played a bad service game to start off, and then we weren't getting really very far in their service games.
"Then at the end of the first set, I think we picked our game up and a couple of things clicked. Throughout the whole third set, we actually felt like I hadn't missed a year."
Fleming had promised Hutchins on the day he was given the diagnosis that they would team up again whenever his friend was ready.
He said: "When we won I felt a bit emotional. It was a real release.
"It was very tough this time last year. Even though I managed to win a tournament in Auckland, it was an emotional time. And it was tough to play without Ross, but I never thought that he wouldn't come back.
"I don't know if that was maybe naive of me or what, but I never literally once thought we wouldn't team up again.
"I saw Ross play in September, at Davis Cup, and he was playing well then. He's hard on himself saying he didn't play well the last couple of weeks. He's been playing great the whole time. I'm excited for the future."
Dominic Inglot made it two wins from two matches for British doubles players as he and Filipino partner Treat Huey fought back from a set down to defeat Colombians Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah 4-6 6-4 6-3.

Dell Raises the Bar for Open Networking with New Disaggregated Software to Maximize Customer Choice and Capability
Dell today extended its reach in Open Networking with the announcement of Operating System 10 (OS10) from Dell Networking. This next-generation networking software is designed to introduce new levels of software flexibility and programmability in large-scale data center environments. The OS10 software environment advances the functionality of modern data centers by disaggregating network software, so customers have more choice in how software is used throughout IT operations.
"Modern, software-defined, data centers require a fresh approach to operations – not just for the network, but across compute and storage elements as well," said Tom Burns, vice president and general manager, Dell Networking and Enterprise Infrastructure. "OS10 gives customers a future-ready springboard to innovate their networks and data center infrastructure more quickly and consistently, affording customers greater efficiency and capability at scale."
"OS10 represents an interesting new direction for Dell as it continues to extend and enhance its networking portfolio with innovations in software and hardware," said Brad Casemore, Research Director, Datacenter Networks, IDC. "It's worth noting that Dell also is looking beyond networking as an operational silo or a discrete domain, anticipating fast-evolving requirements for consumption models, IT operations, and the breaking down of traditional IT silos."
Disaggregating the Network OS Stack
The OS10 platform is designed around new benchmarks for open software modularity so users can create the most efficient and flexible paths across networked systems. OS10 is comprised of a base module and various optional application modules. Now, what had formerly been bundled into tightly-integrated, vendor-specific stacks, has been separated to enhance customer choice, control and programmability.
Below it, the OS 10 Base Module employs the Open Compute Project Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) that enables a common, programmer-friendly language between vendor network operating systems and the particular silicon residing on the physical switch. Today, SAI helps web-scale companies and cloud providers take advantage of the latest silicon innovation by enabling them to program the switches more granularly.
From Network Operations to Development Operations
OS10's unmodified Linux base provides distinct advantages as customers increasingly look to design applications and data centers across server, storage and networking – not just one silo. While OS10 will have appeal for traditional network operators seeking conventional programming means, the software will also appeal to DevOps communities seeking a consistent, common development environment across server, storage and networking elements.
"The ability for organizations to define their infrastructure-as-code is a foundational and necessary part of any DevOps initiative, enabling practices like collaboration and continuous delivery," said Nigel Kersten, CIO at Puppet Labs. "It provides one common language that can be shared across traditionally siloed organizations - like development, compute, networking and storage - reducing unnecessary complexity, while increasing both speed and availability. We look forward to continuing to work with Dell and the new OS10 offering as more organizations apply DevOps practices to network management."
Unlocking Customer Innovation
OS10 highlights the potential for helping customers rapidly develop, customize and ultimately take advantage of a true software-defined data center. Some examples include:
In March, Dell expects OS10 base module will begin shipping and Dell-developed application modules will enter beta testing for release later in the year.

text: 6-2 PG Tyrone Johnson said Wednesday he will transfer to USC from Villanova. Johnson will enroll at USC in January and will become eligible to play for the Gamecocks at the conclusion of the fall semester in 2013. Johnson is a New Jersey native and he played one season at Villanova appearing in 32 games and averaging 3 points and 2 assists per game. He also considered George Washington and Illinois but said his relationship with Gamecock coach Frank Martin was a big reason he picked the Gamecocks. "One thing that stood out to me was him being a first year coach and trying to build that program back up, and me always being a guy who is always working hard," Johnson said. "It was a great environment when I came down on my visit (in November), great people, and a great staff that coach Martin has, and the players. We just felt like South Carolina is the best place for me to go for my game to flourish and for me to be the best Tyrone Johnson." Johnson was a highly touted prospect from Plainfield, NJ when he signed with Villanova in the fall of 2010. He decided prior to this season to transfer and he remained at Villanova and practiced with the team while deciding on his new school. And at his new school, Johnson believes what he does will work well. "His (Martin) type of style, it fits my style with up tempo play and always being aggressive," Johnson said. "The way that he coaches fits my style of play and fits my personality." Johnson will have two and a half years of eligibility with the Gamecocks.

It's nice to be able to review a book, for once, that is about more than just 'words'. I must confess to having a great interest in war art, in particular the propaganda poster. Long before 'Keep Calm and Carry On', I have been fascinated with 'Let us go forward together', 'The few' and 'I need you for US Army'. An interesting distinction I found is the difference between propaganda produced by Democracies and Dictatorships. Whereas democratic posters tended to be more subtle and laidback, as free citizens tend to be scornful of being told what to do in an overt fashion. Democratic propaganda tends to be more romantic, and more an attempt to appeal to the reader's better nature. Nazi and Soviet propaganda was far more akin to a sledgehammer – there was no need to appeal to anyones better nature, as in a one party state nobody had a choice in the matter in any case. In an interesting kind of way, propaganda posters reflect that nature of the societies in which they were created.
British propaganda is something that many people will be familirar with, and is certainly in vogue in shops such as Past Times at the moment. Information posters exhorted the population to conserve food, carry gas masks, or evacuate children. Recruitment posters were generally an attempt to encourage rather than enforce. Many examples show an exemplary man or men, in an attempt to encourage the reader to wish to be like them. Quotes from Winston Churchill were also a staple. Funnily enough Canadian propaganda tended to be more overt, such as the famous poster of a lion and beaver charging, bayonets fixed, and the equally famous 'Lets go Canada!'. French war posters were also quite interesting. Of couse after 1940, whilst the Vichy French were pleading with the populace to 'remember Oran', and attempting to recruit for the Vichy Legions, the Free French were also producing posters for the consumption of exiles in Britain and elsewhere. Soviet propaganda has always interested me greatly. Although to begin with Russian posters were very socialist, and very, well, brutalistic and politicised, in time the regime peformed a volte-face and began to embrace aspects of Russia's history and culture that had been shunned previously. Attempts to demonstrate continuity with the old Russia, ancient Russian heroes and cultural icons such as Tolstoy and Tchaikovsky were made in an attempt to inspire the Soviety citizens in the great patriotic war. Examples of heroic soldiers abound, rifle thrust in their air, in defence of the motherland. Like Soviety War Memorials, its very stirring stuff indeed.
American propaganda is also quite interesting. obviously, after Pearl Harbour a desire for revenge was present, and racial stereotypes of 'the Jap' were very common. Often Japanese soldiers were portrayed as rat-like, no doubt in an attempt to convince the American public that they were an inferior race and that Uncle Sam would prevail. Talking of which, Uncle Sam himself featured very heavily, in his Kitchener like pose, along with Golden Eagles and lots of blue, red and white. i cannot help but think also that a lot of American propaganda was inspired by American commercialism, which obviously drew on consumerism and marketing, to an extent not seen anywhere else in the world at the time. It could be suggested that the US Government was selling the war in the same way that Ford would sell Model T's, or Coke would sell Cola.
The Nazi regime had made use of Propaganda since its inception after World War One. In fact, men such as Hitler and Goebbels were consumate propagandists, placing spin at the centre of the regime right from the start. How else do you explain a whole country being made to believe in what turned out to be an illogical and nihilistic ideology? The 'ein volk, ein reich, ein Fuhrer' poster is one of the most famous ever. Much use was made of classical symbols such as the Eagle, and bemuscled, Teutonic males, in an attempt to invoke a heritage supposedly linked with age old Empires. Posters decrying the Jews attempted to arouse old stereotypes, particularly of Jewish looks, and portraying them in an animalistic manner. When the war started to turn against the Third Reich the propagandists had an even harder job, to try and persuade the population that Aryan superiority was not a myth. By contrast, Italian propagandist were facing an uphill struggle, as the majority of Italians were indifferent to the war, and hence Italian posters seen, in retrospect, rather absurd and ironic. Japanese posters really are very different to anything seen in Europe, given the vastly different culture. And, again, in a totalitarian monarchy, there was little need to co-erce or persuade.
The funny thing is, I can't help but admire totalitarian propaganda more. There's something about Nazi and Soviet art that is really impressive. It doesn't necessarily mean that I agree with what it is saying. I guess its kind of like Lemmy from Motorhead, who has been criticised for wearing Nazi-like clothes. When pressed, he answered that if the Allied armies had cool looking clothes, he would wear them. It just so happens that the bad guys always seem to have the best uniforms. Not sure if I completely agree with that, but it does sum up my thoughts about war propaganda.
This was a very enjoyable book to read. Some well-known examples, but also some posters that were new to my eyes. Neither is it just a picture book, it is well interpreted and enlightening, looking not only at the art itself, but also the sociological, political and military background. I only wish I had more wall space and funds to decorate my flat with some of them!

Some girls in Ghana has taken the azonto craze to a new level, they now have the adult version and they dance it without wearing anything.Over the last few years, no single dance has dominated the Ghanaian landscape than the phenomenal Azonto dance. Not only has the dance dominated the night clubs, parties, beach sessions, social events and even church auditoriums but has also gained international recognition not only on the African continent but across the world. It is also the toast of both the young and old.Just last week, popular football star tweeted: "I love this dance called the #Azonto" and shared the link to a viral YouTube video with a white boy dancing Azonto on the streets of central London with Sarkodie's 'U Go Kill Me' in the background whilst rapper Snoop Dogg was also captured on tape doing the dance.
The Azonto craze has made waves around the world to the extent that legal experts in the entertainment industry have called on Ghana to patent, brand, package, and adopt international marketing mechanism for the modernisation of traditional dance, Kpanlogo, into Azonto dance for socio-economic gains.However, inspite of the numerous advantages and gains associated with the dance, a hand full of people has taking it to the extreme. Presently, P&P has in its possession, some semi-nude pictures of an alleged "Naked Azonto party" which was allegedly held at a secret location at Ashaiman during the yuletide.Although the P&P could not independently authenticate the source of the pictures and the exact location in Ashaiman where the alleged party took place, we gathered that some young ladies and men stripped naked and semi-naked as they did the Azonto dance.
The ladies allegedly stripped leading only their bras and panties whilst the men wore only their boxers before hitting the dance floor. Keep reading as we dig deep to bring our readers more info.
Two other dancer pose for pictures. Same to you!

Training in Brain Tumor Research Seminars presents Shelli R. Kesler, Ph.D.Associate Professor, Dept of Neuro-Oncology Director, Cognitive Neuroimaging Lab UT MD Anderson Cancer Center
The Brain Tumor Program offers excellent training in brain tumor research by opening its doors to national and international scientist at various levels of their education. Our laboratories enjoy the intellectual inputs of Graduate Students, Postdoctoral Fellows, and Summer Students (High school and Pre-Graduate Students).
As part of this training, and besides the opportunities that MDACC is offering to research trainees, the Brain Tumor Program specifically established an educational course named Training in Brain Tumor Research. This is a two-year course offered in a weekly basis to all trainees in the Brain Tumor Program and encompasses two components:
1. Top lectures in brain tumors from experts in fundamentals and hot topics areas in brain tumors, such as clinical aspects, neurodevelopment, and neuropsychology. These lectures are informative and encouraging our trainees to keep moving towards our common goal.
2. Presentations from the trainees' current project or published data. These seminars are conductive to the development of outstanding communication skills and establishment of networking. Trainees receive pre-presentation and some constructive criticisms during their seminars. This platform has been used, per instance, to present the Caroline Ross endorsed awards and to rehearse Ph.D. thesis defenses.
The Training in Brain Tumor Program has an average audience of more than 50 people from different areas of research, such as Neuro-Oncology, Neurosurgery, Pathology, Radiation Oncology, Pediatrics, Melanoma, and Neuropsychology.

The Silver Institute's "World Silver Survey 2012" report hasn't surprised investors and market participants. Silver mining output hit record highs last year, while silver demand from end users and investors remained robust – despite silver's correction phase which started close to a year ago. The Silver Institute is one of the most important organisations in the silver sector, comprising producers, dealers and numerous companies that use silver. Thus, this study is of significance.
Although global investment demand dropped slightly to 282.2 million ounces (8,766 tonnes) this marginal decline isn't too consequential, since in 2011 silver registered a higher average price than in the previous year. As a consequence, the financial value of global silver demand reached a new record high of almost $10 billion – a 73% increase on the previous year. Demand for silver coins and medals climbed by 129% to a new record high of 118.2 million ounces (3,677 tonnes). In comparison with 2010 demand for silver bars increased 67% to 95.7 million ounces (2,975 tonnes).
Currently the silver price is moving in a fairly narrow trading range, oscillating around the $31.50 per ounce mark, which is an important resistance level. As the study shows, high investment demand last year was largely triggered by investors' increasing fears of a continuing devaluation of the US dollar and the euro. Many investors are keeping a close eye on the central banks and their moves – especially the US Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB). Fears of continuous global debt monetisation are driving more and more investors to buy goldand silver.
Demand from industrial end users also recorded impressive gains last year. Although towards the end of 2011 demand from industrial clients – which include the jewellery, electronics and medical industries – dropped slightly owing to economic problems in the eurozone, the study by the Silver Institute forecasts a continuation of silver's upward trend for 2012. In the face of growing silver demand at the global markets and a rapid price appreciation it comes as no surprise that global mining companies significantly increased silver production for the reported period.
Exploration activities by junior mining companies and the recovery of mines which had been in disuse contributed to this increase in global silver supply – 2011 being the ninth year of mine supply increases. In comparison with the previous year mine production climbed 1.4% to a new record high of 761.6 million ounces, or 23,689 tonnes.

47strings necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 196 diseños de 55 diseñadores freelance.
As the name implies, I'm in the business of buying and selling domain names. This logo is for a blog about domain investing and news. I debated choosing a traditional (i.e. "boring") title and something more fun, and ultimately settled on "Domain Sushi" because it's creative and memorable.
It's a quirky name, but we still need a high-quality, professional logo. It can be fun, but nothing too cartoonish.
The visitors to the website will be savvy web users between ages 18-45, who are involved in the world of internet marketing, SEO, and selling domains. Given the name I've chosen, a strong logo is essential. It will completely "make" the site, and help explain the name to visitors. Your logo is what will guarantee the site will be memorable.
We want a bold, colorful design that stands out from its background. Web. 2.0 is fine, but blended in such a way to still be beautiful, instead of just cartoonish.
A unique logo, which will eventually be put into a header with some simple navigation. No coding is necessary, and the final output should be PSD and vector format (EPS, etc.).
Preference will be given to designs that incorporate the "sushi" theme well (rolls, pieces of fish, etc.). No bamboo textures or anything else too Asian.
** For style ideas, please check out the sample logos that have been attached. **
I want to leave the interpretation up to the designers, but here are a few guidelines:
1. The logo will eventually fit in a header 960px by 177px high.
2. Background colors: White, Black, or Grey, or Turquoise. You can use gradients if you feel it fits the design.
3. The name "DomainSushi" MUST be in a solid, blocked sans-serif font, and stand out from the background. I've provided an example below from an existing website.
4. I want to incorporate 1 or more sushi-related elements into the title. It can either be in the background, foreground, or in the title itself. These should have a clear, 3-D like appearance - nothing too flat. You can choose from among rolls, pieces of fish on rice, or whatever you think is eye-catching and fits the name.
4. If you choose to show the logo in the header, the navigation should be in Arial, and should be easy to read.
NO Italics

Federal Work-Study is a program that allows students to work On-Campus, part-time while completing their studies. Many students are awarded work-study as part of their Financial Aid package, based on their needs as indicated in the FAFSA. Students have the option to either accept or decline Federal Work-Study when accepting their financial aid package. At NYU, the each hiring department must cover 25% of the student's pay, while the government compensates for the other 75% (more about this can be found below). Please be aware that the Wasserman center does not control Federal Work-Study distribution at NYU. For more information on Federal Work-Study, how to apply, or to find out if you're eligible:
Understand that your award amount is not guaranteed, you must first find and secure an on-campus work-study position. Available positions are listed on NYU CareerNet, and can also be found by contacting NYU departments directly. The Wasserman Center can assist with your job search.
It is very unlikely that you will receive a lump-sum amount. Most positions on-campus pay by the hour, so the amount you were awarded is the maximum that you can earn with the government paying 75% of your pay and the NYU department that you are working for paying the remaining 25%.
Once you have earned, or are close to earning your maximum award amount, you and your supervisor will likely discuss and choose to do one of the following:
NYU CareerNet is the Wasserman Center's online job and internship database. The database houses current on-campus positions (both Federal Work-Study and non-Federal Work-Study), off-campus positions, and internship opportunities. The Wasserman Center does not write the job postings, but instead the listings are submitted by individual employers. It is therefore your responsibility to contact and/or follow-up with the specific employers for more information or details regarding specific listings.
Please note that each job listed on the NYU CareerNet site is reviewed and approved by the Wasserman Center staff before it is viewable on the site. We do our best to vet out fraudulent job listings that we receive, however mistakes do occur. If you come across what appears to be an illegitimate job posting, please contact us immediately.
While NYU CareerNet lists many available positions. It is not the only way to find and secure employment. We encourage all students interested in working on-campus to call, email, or visit NYU employers of interest to see if they have any openings available. We do recommend visiting and picking up paper job applications from Bobst Library, Coles Athletic Facility, Palladium Athletic Facility, and the NYU Bookstore, along with professors and department administrators. The four aforementioned places typically hire on a rolling basis throughout the year, and generally do not list all of their available positions on the NYU CareerNet site.
Please be aware that there are a limited number of jobs available on-campus, so we encourage you to also apply to nearby off-campus positions as well (e.g. retail, restaurants, etc.)
Federal Work-Study funds are not credited towards your NYU bill. Instead you will receive a bi-weekly check based on your hourly pay (or stipend in some cases). Some students then choose to use their earnings to make payments on their NYU bill, purchase books, meals, or cover day-to-day expenses.
Most NYU departments have budgets set aside specifically for hiring and paying student employees without Federal Work-Study funds. When looking for available Non-Federal Work-Study positions on the NYU CareerNet site, we recommend that you use the search tools to filter your results to only show "Non-Federal Work-Study."
We encourage you to apply to positions both on and off campus to increase your chances of securing a position. However you should keep in mind that working on campus at NYU offers many benefits, such as:
NYU Employers understand that many incoming freshman most likely do not have prior work experience, and therefore will offer you the necessary skills and instruction for the given job.
No. Federal Work-Study funds distributed at NYU can only be used for on-campus positions, with the exception of America Reads and Counts.
Yes! There are on campus job opportunities at NYU study abroad sites. Some student employment abroad opportunities are listed on the NYU CareerNet site, however the majority of the student employment jobs abroad will be announced once you arrive at your abroad study site. For more details, you may contact the NYU Study Abroad office.

(editors note: Several courteous readers pointed out that perhaps I should include the list. Okay.)
So here is my first-blush look at winners and losers:
Corbin Van Arsdale -- State Affairs (CBO), Appropriations, Calendars
Sounds better than it really is, but DAMN!
Ryan Guillen -- Appropriations (Vice Chair aka conference seat); Natural Resources; Calendars
This guy gets it. If you are a twenty-something that wakes up elected to the Texas House, go get freshman lessons from the Ryanater.
Aaron Pena -- Criminal Jurisprudence (Chairman); Ways and Means
This former aspiring Democratic Party Chairman shifted sites, got elected to the House, and now chairs a committee he actually cares about. And he is widely recognized as the world's leading blogger.
Patrick Rose -- Human Services (Chairman); Higher Education
Have no earthly idea what goes on in Human Services, but he and the lovely and talented Donna Howard (freshman on Higher Ed; you rock Donna!) of Travis County may team up and finally give the University of Texas a fighting chance in the Legislature. About time.
Fred Brown -- Higher Education (CBO); Appropriations; Local and Consent
Governor Rose and Representative Howard of Travis, please don't let this Aggie snooker you. It's two against one. Take. Him. Out.
John Otto -- Ways and Means (CBO); Appropriations
This tax consultant gets to oversee the Comptroller and her budget. Sweet.
Dianne Patrick -- Public Education; Higher Education; Local and Consent
She apparently is big on education. She also seems nice, which is a big bonus on Local and Consent. You go girl.
Eddie Lucio IV -- Environmental Regulation (CBO); Appropriations; Local and Consent
Have known him since he was in high school. So proud of this former Texas Tech golfer for embracing Billy Clyde's motto: Change Is Bad.
Mike "Tuffy" Hamilton -- Natural Resources; Licensing and Administrative Procedures; Calendars
TOLD YOU!! HA HA! Guess the joke's on you people, huh? The guy is good.
Joe Deshotel -- Economic Development (Chair); Transportation
Something told Billy Clyde that Joe would come out smelling much better than his district. Transportation spot an added bonus, as TXDOT attempts to maintain tricky balance when high-quality Texas roads meet 100-year-old Louisiana caliche.
House Committee on Civil Practices -- If you'd been listening to the frequently-wrong-but-never-in-doubt fundraiser circuit chatter the past eight months or so, no doubt you would have thought that the future of the Lone Star State rested in the hands of this committee:
Byron Cook (WTF!), Chair
Mark Strama, (TLR cousin or something or another) Vice Chair
Sid Miller (WTF!)
Beverely Woolley (on it last session, but don't know why)
Robert Talton (on it last session, and is feeling his oats)
Richard Raymond (on it last session, but still, WTF!)
Phil King (is he with the trials of the tort reformer dudes?)
Jerry Madden (WTF!)
What happened? Are these typos? This, my brothers and sisters, is something I cannot explain.
Norma Chavez (gavel didn't feel right in her hand)
Dan Gattis (desired more 18-hour days in Appropriations for his constituents who don't WANT any state money)
Dwayne Bohac (Elections and Redistricting were more important to you!!!)
Richard Raymond (please explain again why you took all that political risk over the long haul just to abandon it at the finish line)
Honorable Mention: Allan Ritter, Robert Talton, Jim Pitts, Brian McCall, Craig Eiland.
Buddy "George" West -- see above comments re: Richard Raymond
Mike Villarreal -- why do you hate prosperity??
The Honorable Todd Smith of Tarrant

ELIZABETH, NJ (January 27, 2014) - Hayward Pool Products announced the introduction of Salt & Swim® ABG, a salt chlorinator that offers aboveground pool owners unprecedented comfort and convenience at less than half the cost of traditional, factory-produced, chemical chlorine. Salt & Swim ABG is an extension of Hayward's popular salt chlorine generator Salt & Swim 3C, which was previously only available for in-ground pools.
"After the popular response to Salt & Swim 3C last year, we had builders constantly requesting an above ground version," Hayward Industries Global Product Manager, Sanitization and Chemical Automation, Ray Denkewicz said. "Customers love the comfort of silky-soft water and convenience associated with salt chlorination, but are genuinely amazed by the cost savings of more than 50 percent over traditional chemical forms of chlorine." He explained that before Hayward found a way to make salt chlorination more affordable for everyone, most pool owners simply couldn't afford it. "This product was a real game changer. And now Salt & Swim ABG will change the aboveground pool game, too."
Swimmers love salt pools because the more natural chlorination method means no more red eyes, dry skin or that harsh chlorine odor associated with factory-produced chlorine. Salt & Swim ABG also prevents algae growth, which eliminates a time-consuming and costly aspect of pool management.
The convenience of Salt & Swim ABG's automatic chlorination means aboveground pool owners will not have to lug heavy buckets and jugs of chlorine. Also, the easy, do-it-yourself installation - in 15 minutes or less - saves both time and money.
Salt & Swim ABG produces chlorine from regenerable salt, which results in considerable cost savings, Denkewicz explained. "The easily-replaceable salt cell produces the equivalent of 155 pounds of Trichlor - or 145 gallons of liquid chlorine - over its lifetime. That translates into convenience and cost effectiveness for aboveground pool owners - eliminating worries and providing a great value over chemical chlorine," he said.

The grueling week long 2011 One Lap of America event that covered almost 4000 miles has finally crossed the finish line. Our SRT Dynamic Duo of Erich Heuschele and Adam Forte drove their production 2011 Challenger SRT8 to an amazing 14th overall finish among the 75 competitors. Our stock 392 HEMI® muscled its way past more exotic hardware like Porsche GT3s, ZR1 and ZO6 Corvettes and BMW M Series. Erich and Adams consistent driving skills also took out some heavy hitters and perennial favorites. The guys even finished third in their respective division the hotly contested SSGT2-Big Bore class.
During this past weekend, they had only two more events to complete. The first was the road course time trials at Autobahn Country Club in Joliet Illinois. This track offered Erich one more opportunity to push the Challenger SRT8 down the straights and around the corners. The second was back to the One Laps jumping off point, the Tire Rack Skid Pad Track in South Bend Indiana.
During the Autobahn event, Erich moved from 14th to 12th place by the second lap and finished 3rd in the SSGT2 class. Hes raced at this track before so his familiarization with the course came in handy. The Autobahn Country Club is also home to many Illinois Viper Club members and some of them came out to cheer and support our guys. Once again Erich and Adam helped came to rescue of fellow competitors and they showed the true spirit of the event. The original power steering pump on Howard LaFever and Bob Stephens 2006 Charger SRT8 ran dry and eventually burnt out due to the constant abuse from the event. Our guys help Howard and Bob get their car so they could complete One Lap.
At the Tire Rack Dry Skid Pad event, the weather had cooled and was threatening rain. However, the sun made an appearance and warmed up the rubber. The Challenger rocked on the skid pad and Erich made 2 clockwise and counterclockwise laps and recorded a stellar 0.998 Gs on the EVIC! This placed him 15th overall and 2nd in class.
Now the time had come to wrap things up for this years One Lap of America. Erich and Adam finally had a chance to relax and swap stories among the other participants during the awards ceremony and hot lunch in the Tire Rack warehouse. Luckily for our guys it was not pizza or KFC and they actually had to relearn how to use a fork and knife. It had been a week of finger licking road cuisine with the Challengers dash serving as a dining table.
During the awards ceremony Adam received the Sportsman Award for helping other participants out in their time of need. They also met the man who started the high-speed cross-country odyssey four decades ago, Brock Yates Sr. Brocks legacy with his infamous 1972 Challenger Rally was our theme when we made the cosmetic modifications on the 2011 Challenger SRT8 we entered. When asked what he thought of the new Cannonball inspired Challenger and he replied, Absolutely beautiful, nice work boys.
We couldnt agree more Brock, and thank you for creating the Cannonball Dash![album: http://www.redlinedodge.com/wp-content/plugins/dm-albums/dm-albums.php?currdir=/wp-content/uploads/dm-albums/OneLap58/]

Hazard Communication Standard
The Globally Harmonized System of Chemical Classification (GHS)
In March of 2012, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) updated the Hazard Communication Standard CFR29 1910.1200 (HazCom) to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Chemical Classification (GHS). Since then, chemical manufacturers, distributors, employers and consumers have seen changes in the way that chemical hazards are communicated on labels and safety documentation.
The intent of the new legislation was to make it easier for workers to understand chemical hazards, especially workers who may not speak or read English well, reduce confusion in the workplace, make safety training easier, and result in safer handling and use of chemicals. The new format provides workers with quicker and more efficient access to information on the labels and safety data sheets. The changes also save money for American businesses with productivity improvements projected because of fewer safety data sheet and label updates and simpler new hazard communication training. The new labeling system should also reduce trade barriers by coordinating with systems already in use in other countries.
What this means for employees at UAB
Since these major changes to labeling and safety information apply to all materials that have a chemical hazard, everyone employed by the University or the University Medical System will need to take the basic Hazard Communication training HS200. Many job classifications may not work directly with hazardous chemicals, but since everyday materials such as paints drain cleaners and disinfectants will be relabeled using the new system, everyone needs to know how to recognize and use the new labels and information sheets.
Major Changes
- Manufacturers must now classify hazardous chemicals according to standardized international criteria.
- The detailed chemical information sheets are now called Safety Data Sheets instead of Material Safety Data Sheets and the layout of the information is always organized the same way.
- Pictograms will provide visual clues of the chemical hazards.
- Signal words: Danger and Warning will be used to describe how dangerous the material is.
Labels are organized the same way with the following standard components.
• The Product Identifier or material name
• Supplier Identification to let users know who manufactured or distributed the material
• Precautionary Statements that describe how to protect yourself from the dangers of the material
• Pictograms to provide a visual clue to the hazards.
• Signal Words that describe the relative hazard, just like on the safety data sheet
• Hazard Statements that describe the characteristic that makes the material dangerous
• Supplemental Information that may give contact information for getting additional information or contacting the manufacturer.
Safety Data Sheets have 16 Required Elements all listed in the same order. In addition, the information in section 2 will include the same pictograms and warnings as the information on the label. Here are the required sections of the new safety data sheets.
Section 1, Identification
Section 2, Hazard(s) identification
Section 3, Composition/information on ingredients
Section 4, First-aid measures
Section 5, Fire-fighting measures
Section 6, Accidental release measures
Section 7, Handling and storage
Section 8, Exposure controls/personal protection
Section 9, Physical and chemical properties
Section 10, Stability and reactivity
Section 11, Toxicological information
Section 12, Ecological information
Section 13, Disposal considerations
Section 14, Transport information
Section 15, Regulatory information
Section 16, other information

Making Sense Out of Chemical Storage
The Department of Occupational Health and Safety is starting the implementation of a campus-wide chemical inventory system to track hazardous chemicals. The system utilizes bar codes and features a web-based interface. This will allow researchers, laboratory staff and other chemical users to track chemicals on-hand, will aid OH&S with regulatory agency reporting, and will provide emergency responders with accurate information on the chemical hazards present within an area should an incident occur.
We understand that some areas use large amounts of commercial products or may use chemicals that are mixtures that need to be inventoried. These items may not have a CAS# or they may have more than one CAS# associated with them. We have created UAB and OH&S numbers for these items to input into the CAS# field on the Chemical Inventory System. Should you find that the chemical/product you are looking for is not present on our list of created UAB and OH&S numbers please contact OH&S at 934-2487.
Most chemicals will need to be entered into the inventory, but except the following:
- Consumer products such as cleaning agents; contact OH&S regarding chlorine bleach. Large quantities need to be inventoried.
- Sugars and non-hazardous buffer salts
- Amino acids
- Materials of biological origin except for toxins
- Dilutions made by laboratory staff
- Culture media, agar and broth
- Latex paint
- Printer inks and toner
- Microorganisms
- Research samples
OH&S staff will be meeting with departmental staff to discuss the program's use and features. To make this transition easier, OH&S will perform the initial inventory in each laboratory. We are asking that unwanted and expired chemicals be disposed and any excessive clutter be removed before the inventory takes place to make the process as safe and efficient as possible. Here are some guidelines for lab staff:
- Discard all chemicals that are no longer useful to your research, expired (or more than 5 years old), or degraded – look for crystals, phase separation, container damage. Properly pack these chemicals and complete a Hazardous Waste Manifest to have them picked up.
- Ensure that any spills or other contamination are cleaned up properly – pay particular attention to cabinets and refrigerators.
- Check that chemicals in freezers are not frozen together or stuck to the sides or shelves.
- Ensure that materials to be inventoried are in their proper storage location.
- Ensure that chemicals have legible and appropriate labels – the ChemWatch system can be used to print a GHS compliant label if the original container label is damaged or inadequate. Structures and abbreviations of chemical names are not appropriate as the sole indicator of a chemical's identity.
- Place signs or communicate directly with the personnel who are conducting the inventory if there are sensitive or potentially hazardous procedures in progress.
- Ensure that there is a clean counter space for sorting and marking of chemical containers.
- Set aside a location for staging of containers that may need to be relabeled or packed as waste.
- Make sure aisles are clear and that there is good access to all chemical storage locations.
- Chemical containers will be barcoded and returned to their original location after being entered into the Chemical Management System.
- Containers that are damaged, unlabeled, or expired will not be entered and will be moved to the designated location for disposal.
- Chemicals in locations that show signs of gross leakage or contamination will not be entered and the materials will be marked for disposal as waste.
- Most chemicals in their original containers will be inventoried. Buffers, dilutions and cleaning products will not be included in the inventory.
- You will be given a supply of preprinted barcode labels to use for chemicals purchased in the future. When you need additional labels contact OH&S at 934-2487.
One of the most underestimated processes in labs is also one of the most critical, and that is managing an up-to-date chemical inventory system.
Once OH&S completes the initial chemical inventory, it is up to the individual laboratories to maintain it.
Features of the UAB Chemical Inventory System
- Search your chemical inventory by name, CAS number, barcode number
- Add or Edit the information for any of your chemicals in your inventory:
- There are many optional fields that you may include information about your chemical, storage location descriptions
- Have immediate access to Safety Data Sheets (SDS):
- We are working on this and will be available soon.
- New Chemicals entering the lab
It is the responsibility of the lab to enter each chemical coming to the lab into the database by utilizing a barcode system. Barcodes are provided by OH&S and the Chemical Inventory Instructions explains the simple and easy process of updating your inventory.
- Removing used/expired chemicals
When chemicals on your inventory expire, you must remove them first from the inventory before manifesting as hazardous waste. Similarly if the bottle is completely used up, remove the item from the inventory first and dispose the bottle by following OH&S guidelines.
- Redistributing/sharing chemicals with other labs or moving to another location
It makes perfect sense for labs to redistribute chemicals if a project ends or that particular chemical no longer needed (Funding agency regulations must be followed at all times when it comes to redistributing). Since a unique bar code specific to a location and PI adheres to every chemical container, it is very important not to move chemicals to another location without first deleting them from your inventory and adding to the inventory of the receiving lab. Barcodes make it easier to track inventory by taking away almost all manual input. Each chemical will be set up in the system one time. On the user end, when a chemical is going to another lab, users only have to follow instructions contained within Chemical Inventory Instruction manual.
Lab closing/disposal
Should your lab close or move for some reason, please do not leave any chemicals for the next person moving into the space. If you no longer want the chemicals in your chemical inventory it is required that you follow the procedure in the above paragraph, should another PI want them, or manifest the chemicals out as hazardous waste.
All hazardous chemicals with an NFPA rating of a 2 or above need to be included in the inventory.
General rule of thumb, if a chemical has any GHS pictogram or the diamond on the chemical has a 2 in any section, it should be added to your chemical inventory.

Four Titles
Priesthood Men: Young Men Song
What the Savior Sees in You
Our True Identity
Today I would like to suggest four titles that I believe apply to all priesthood holders around the world—titles that may help us recognize our individual roles in God's eternal plan and our potential as priesthood holders in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
One title that defines all of us in the most fundamental way is son of Heavenly Father. No matter what else we are or do in life, we must never forget that we are God's literal spirit children. . . .
Our Father in Heaven mentors His children and often sends unseen heavenly help to those who desire to follow the Savior.
And that leads us to the next title we all have in common: all who strive earnestly to follow the Christ are called His disciples. . . .
Let us never lose sight of our Advocate and Redeemer as we walk toward Him, one imperfect step after another.
Brethren, if we all truly follow our Lord Jesus Christ, we must embrace a third title: healer of souls. We who have been ordained to the priesthood of God are called to practice "the healer's art" (Hymns, no. 220). . . .
The fourth title we all share returns us to the first title in our list. As sons of our Heavenly Father, we are heirs to all that He has. . . .
It is beyond my power of thought to imagine all that this promise entails. But I do know it is grand, it is divine, it is eternal, and it is worth all of our efforts in life.

With Scientologists active in human rights programs around the world which have reached more than 224 million people in the past year alone, Mr. David Miscavige often addresses important human rights issues in his speeches.
He is sometimes accompanied by other international human rights advocates, as in the following presentations given at the grand opening of the national Church of Scientology of Spain in Madrid.
The keynote speaker, Mr. David Miscavige, Chairman of the Board of Religious Technology Center, the highest ecclesiastical office in the worldwide Scientology religion, set the tone of the opening.
Mr. Miscavige, a driving force behind the growth of the Church for almost a quarter of a century, spoke of the essential need to recognize the spiritual nature of each person in order to restore vitality and purpose to both individuals and society. "For the people of Spain, this represents a new beginning. We want you to know who we are, what we believe, and all we stand for," said Mr. Miscavige. "For today, does not signify the opening of 'our' new Church. Rather, it represents the opening of the new Church for you. That's why our doors are open, seven days a week. No matter your social standing, your race, or your creed and whether to just find out the answers to your questions, or to be 'helped' for whatever the need, you are welcome. Because, Scientology does have answers. Real answers."
Prominent leaders of Spanish society joined Mr. David Miscavige to celebrate the opening in Madrid and helped declare the doors of the new Church open. They were Professor Dioniso Llamazares, former Director of Religious Affairs at the Ministry of Justice; Mr. Francisco José Alonso Rodriguez, President of the Spanish Human Rights League; and Mr. Joaquin Antuna, Founder and President of Peace and Cooperation, a leading United Nations nongovernmental organization.
Mr. Francisco José Alonso Rodriguez, who has worked extensively in Spain and North Africa helping underprivileged communities, praised the Church for its educational programs on human rights, especially for young people. "The Church's international publications [on human rights] and their campaign represent one of the finest and most sincere human rights efforts I have ever seen," he stated.
Mr. Joaquin Antuna, well known for his work to promote human rights, peace and education, commended Church members for the practical help they provide to their communities. He urged them to continue and redouble their efforts: "After the 11th of March, the people of Madrid need all possible help. Your spiritual help, your tireless battle against drugs credits you as citizens of the world."
