staiesvillexafltf i -, i 7 the science of w<«ki decay professor c.e bessey of tli e iowa agricultural college gives in a local journal the ames intelligencer an en tertaining account of the philosophy of timber decay : if we carefully examine any de caying wood we find aloe of white threads looking like a mass of spider webs the wood itself is soft often moist and generally of a darker color than healthy wood under the mi croscope each thread is a string of living cells examine theiu further and these are seen to be true plant cells of a degraded type these threads then are plant but it will be said that plants are green while these are white it is true that most plants are green all that gain their livelihood in an honest way by work ing for it are green in color but among plants as among men there aro dishonest ones thieves and robbers of the dead who bear their marks of wickedness upon their bodies it is a fact that all those plants that live at the expense of others whether living or dead are of a white or pale color and are never green in appearance now it is a law of the world that the thing whether plant or animal man himself included which lives without work which lives at the ex pense of some other which is in fact a parasite the law i s«iy is that thing because of its bad habits becomes de graded there are r.o exceptions to this rule the man who lives at the expense of others is made by the same iron law as the louse and the mite which prey upon animals or the fun gus which steals its food from the body of some higher plant and the certain degredation of the latter is no more inevitable than that o the for mer js'ow all this applies to our white threads in rotten wood they are low plants which absorb their nourishment from the wood this habit has doubtless brought upon them much of degraded structure de priving them of the appearance of plants let it be understood then that the essential part of the difficulty in the case of rotting wood is a plant which grows and thrives by taking nourish ment from the wood this plant pro duces little spores which answer to seeds countless millions of them and that wherever one of them falls a new plant may spring up these spores will not grow upun tarry wood they do not like whitewashed wood and creosote blue vitro copperas and many ulher substances are sure death to them if we bear these things in mind we can readily plan practicable ways of heading off ihese troublesome little weeds fur mich they may be called all it requires is to paint over or soak the timber in some ma terial which will kill or injure the spores or prevent their growing history is philosophy teaching by example when the people become corrupt by luxury profligacy and ex travagance they loose those sterling virtues of probity and moral worth and that high estimation of their rights and liberty which arc essential t their capacity ta maintain their freedom moral training a high sense of the public faith and honor and the integrity of their institutions are essential to qualify a people for a free government when they be come corrupt and their elections can be carried by money and fraud when voters can be bought at the elections like sheep in the shambles the capac ity for free government is gone but we do not despair of the capacity of our people to perpetuate their liberties in this great country and before our institutions can be overthrown there will be such manly and desperate strujwles as the world has never wit nessed before — american register a slander case was tried in brook lyn on friday

Several online fraud schemes, mainly operating from India, that duped people in countries like the US, UK and Canada into paying to clean their computers of bogus virus infections, have been shut down by US authorities in a crackdown on so-called tech support scams.
At the request of the Federal Trade Commission, a US District Court Judge ordered a halt to six alleged tech support scams pending further hearings, and has frozen their assets.
The FTC charged that the operations -- mostly based in India -- target English-speaking consumers in the US, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and Britain.
According to the FTC, five of the six used telemarketing boiler rooms to call consumers.
The sixth lured consumers by placing ads with Google which appeared when consumers searched for their computer company's tech support telephone number.
The FTC cases targeted 14 corporate defendants and 17 individual defendants in 6 legal filings, Pecon Software Ltd, Finmaestros LLC, Zeal IT Solutions Pvt Ltd, Virtual PC Solutions, Lakshmi Infosoul Services Pvt Ltd, and PCCare247, Inc, and individual defendants in each of the cases; majority of whom are Indians and based in India.
"In these outrageous and disturbing cons you get a call from someone pretending to be from a major computer company who dupes you into thinking you have a virus on your computer.
"At one level, it's like a bad
According to the FTC, after getting the consumers on the phone, the telemarketers allegedly claimed they were affiliated with legitimate companies, including Dell, Microsoft, McAfee, and Norton, and told consumers they had detected malware that posed an imminent threat to their computers.
To demonstrate the need for immediate help, the scammers directed consumers to a utility area of their computer and falsely claimed that it demonstrated that the computer was infected.
The scammers then offered to rid the computer of malware for fees ranging from $49 to $450, FTC said.
When consumers agreed to pay the fee for fixing the 'problems,' the telemarketers directed them to a website to enter a code or download a software programme that allowed the scammers remote access to the consumers' computers.
Once the telemarketers took control of the consumers' computers, they 'removed' the non-existent malware and downloaded otherwise free programmes, it said.
FTC papers filed with the court alleged that the scammers hoped to avoid detection by consumers and law enforcers by using virtual offices that were actually just mail-forwarding facilities, and by using 80 different domain names and 130 different phone numbers.
One group of individuals, according to the FTC, are based in West Bengal; the other group of Indians charged operate from Rajasthan.

You fly from South Florida and arrive at your destination on time, without being bumped, losing your bag or having your trip canceled altogether.
Welcome to an increasingly small club.
Complaints about airlines across the nation in the first half of 2007 jumped 47 percent from last year. Problems only deepened during the heavily traveled summer months, with complaints rising 89 percent in August, the latest data available.
But don't abandon hope. Passengers looking to improve their flying experience can find out which airlines do the best and worst jobs at key tasks. And there are simple habits that fliers can adopt that increase their chances of a happy trip.
"Do the research," urges Coral Gables aviation consultant Stuart Klaskin, who flies at least 150 times a year.
OVERBOOKING For example, if you hate getting bumped, fly JetBlue Airways. In the first half of 2007, only 33 of the 10.7 million people who booked a JetBlue flight were denied boarding. That was by far the best record of any airline. But if you can't tolerate delays, you might steer clear of JetBlue Flights 14 and 18. Those are the last two daily departures from Fort Lauderdale to New York's JFK International Airport. In June they were late 80 percent of the time.
To learn about tardy flights and bumped passenger rates, check out the Air Travel Consumer Report, published online by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Updated monthly, it ranks airlines from best to worst on five different benchmarks and identifies flights that are chronically late.
Of the airlines that fly out of South Florida, Comair, a commuter affiliate of Delta Air Lines, had the worst 12-month record for delays, followed by JetBlue Airways and US Airways.
Many passengers don't know that the government posts data about airline performance.
"It's not really public knowledge," said Sommer Villani, a Long Island stock broker who was flying JetBlue from Fort Lauderdale recently. Villani said she picks flights mainly by schedule and booked JetBlue Flight 14 because it arrives after rush hour in New York.
COMPLAINTSOr take a cue from your fellow travelers. In the first half of 2007, fliers filed just 123 complaints about Southwest Airlines with the Transportation Department, but filed 925 about US Airways, or about one-fifth of the 5,049 complaints filed against all U.S. airlines in the period.
Adjusted for size, Southwest has the best complaint ratio of the 20 airlines tracked by the agency. US Airways had the worst.
"We're not happy with those results at all," said Valerie Wunder, a spokeswoman for US Airways, which added about 1,000 airport employees nationwide and a new chief operating officer in response.
Spirit Airlines, which isn't included in the government's survey because of its small size, had 122 complaints in the first half of 2007, a rate worse than US Airways when adjusted for size.
DELAYS Almost 28 percent of all flights were late by 15 minutes or more in the first eight months of 2007, the worst performance in 10 years according to the Transportation Department.
Airlines blame a trio of factors — bad weather, full planes and an outdated air control system.
"We can probably handle two of those in combination," said Tim Wagner, spokesman for American Airlines, "but all three of them taken together, we can't hope to provide great service."
Delays are most likely during the morning and evening "rush hour" flights favored by business travelers and worst on flights late in the day, experts say. A flight barely late first thing in the morning leads to longer waits as the day goes on.
"That delay just rolls down the schedule all day long," said Jack Wishart, a professor at Vaughn College of Aeronautics in New York.
One example: Delta Air Lines Flight 453, scheduled to leave Atlanta at 8:10 p.m., was late arriving into Fort Lauderdale in June 80 percent of the time, with the average delay close to an hour.
Technology also is making it easier to keep track of flight delays in real-time. The Federal Aviation Administration posts a map at www.fly.faa.gov that shows whether 40 top airports are having no delays, 16- to 45-minute delays, delays of more than 45 minutes or are closed. The Florida airports included in the list are Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa.
The agency also recently added a service that sends real-time information about airport delays to cell phones and wireless devices. Some airlines have similar services with flight-specific information. To use the services, passengers must establish an account with the airline or the FAA.
CANCELLATIONS American Eagle canceled 5.9 percent of its flights in June, the most of any airline flying out of South Florida. The best showing came from Frontier Airlines, which plans to launch flights from Palm Beach International to Denver starting Nov. 15 and already flies from Fort Lauderdale. The airline canceled just 0.4 percent of its June schedule.
HANDLING BAGGAGE Delta and its commuter airline partner Comair were near the bottom in several rankings, including oversold flights and delays. Commuter carriers, such as Comair, American Eagle and Atlantic Southeast, also have notably higher rates of mishandled baggage because they are so often connecting to bigger flights.
"The more delays, the more missed connections," said Klaskin, the aviation consultant. "The more missed connections, the more lost bags."

Automatically boot the LinkStation when main power is applied
This article based on work done by sbron at linkstationwiki.org
The LinkStation is accessible through the network, and even though it is not very big there's no need to have it take up space on your desk.
When the LS is tucked away in a cabinet somewhere else in the house or the office the only problem is switching it on again when it has been powered down.
There is equipment available (like X10 appliance modules) that can be controlled remotely to switch the power supply to an appliance on and off. However, the LS doesn't boot when power is applied.
Some people may also want the LS to restart automatically when the power comes back after a mains failure.
The easiest method to achieve this is to just short the two contacts of the on/off switch. The LS will boot when power is applied and it can be switched of by the @@shutdown@@ command. However this method completely disables the on/off switch.
As a more "sophisticated" solution I initially tried an old trick I had used in the past on a PC that didn't have a BIOS setting for starting up again after a power failure. Putting a capacitor across the on/off switch makes it appear to the circuitry that the switch is being pressed at the moment the power is applied. The capacitor will subsequently be charged, giving the appearance that the button has been released.
This method worked for me with the LS using a 47uF capacitor. But some people expressed a couple of concerns about this method:
- When the power button is pressed, the capacitor will drain directly to ground through the switch contacts. That can be quite a zap.
- Applying voltage (the charged cap) to an IC input after device power is removed is a great way to cause latch-up and permanent damage over time.
To address these concerns I added a diode and to make sure the capacitor would discharge in a reasonable amount of time I put a resistor across the capacitor. The schematic then looked like this:
The values of the components have been determined by experimentation, so you may have to adjust them a little bit to make it work on a different LS. If the on/off button doesn't work anymore, the value of the resistor is too low. If the LS doesn't boot when power is applied either the value of the capacitor must be raised, or the resistor must be made smaller. Of course when changing the resistor value you have to make sure you don't get the first problem back again.
The voltage across the switch is 3.3V, so the 16V capacitor I used should be more than up to the job.
The circuit will not work for very short power outages because the capacitor needs to discharge through the resistor before it is ready to do its job again. In my experiments the minimum time the power had to be removed for the LS to auto-boot when the power was reapplied was 3 seconds.
Disclaimer: This works for me, but obviously I can not guarantee it will work for anyone else.
Addition for LS 2 (08/2006)
- changed value for R1 to 68k because R1 works as pulldown for Controllerpin and was too low
- changed therefore C1 to 10uF
- "minimum powerfail time" increases to about 5secs
- remember : the two left pins of the pushbutton are no longer GND
Addition for Terastation (04/2014)
Discovered a parameter called ups_recover in /proc/buffalo/ups directory.
This parameter is used by apcupsd and omronupsd drivers, to enable the Terastation to restart once the power comes backs. This entry is set by defaut to read only, and has to be set read/write. It accepts "apc_on", "omron_on", "usb_on" and "off"

In Catholicism, the use of what is called "historical-critical" method of biblical interpretation has had a somewhat rocky history. Simply put, "historical criticism" is a blanket term used to describe an approach to biblical interpretation that uses historical, literary, and social science methods in an attempt to reconstruct the intent and circumstances of the biblical books and their authors.
The roots of historical criticism can be traced to the Enlightenment and the rise of empiricism. The term "critical" does not necessarily have a negative connotation but refers to critical or scientifically objective judgment exercised by the interpreter in an analysis of the biblical texts. This approach has many subcategories. For example, "textual criticism" attempts to reconstruct as much as possible the original Hebrew or Greek text based on an analysis of the many fragments and ancient manuscripts available.
"Form criticism" studies the impact of the social and historical settings on the formation and development of biblical materials.
"Redaction criticism" is concerned with the role and perspective of the biblical author in the composition of a biblical book by study of his use of sources, characteristic language, and theological perspective.
"Composition criticism" is quite similar and emphasizes the literary unity and coherence of a biblical book as a whole.
"Literary criticism" brackets historical questions and focuses on the form, structure and major motifs of a particular biblical book from a literary point of view.
There are other examples of what can be called a historical-critical approach but this catalogue gives some illustration of what is at stake.
One of my personal heroes is Marie-Joseph Lagrange, O.P., the founder of the Ecole Biblique, one of the premier Catholic graduate schools in the world. Lagrange, a French Dominican, founded the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem in 1890 because he believed that one of the best ways to study the Scriptures was in the context of the land and cultures out of which the Bible emerged.
Lagrange began his work at a time when leaders of the Catholic Church were becoming very concerned about certain methods of biblical interpretation which they feared represented a reductionist view of Sacred Scripture and therefore could undermine the faith.
Lagrange believed that the Church had nothing to fear from authentic historical inquiry about the Scriptures and their original context. He considered these methods as a search for the truth and that Christianity itself should in fact embrace any authentic search for truth. Not long after his arrival in Jerusalem, he utilized the historical-critical method in a commentary on the Book of Genesis.
He often spent the winter months in Cairo and frequented the Cairo Museum, finding there in inscriptions and ancient Egyptian texts parallels to some of the stories and perspectives found in Genesis. These kinds of comments worked their way into his commentary. Lagrange's work came under scrutiny by Church officials and he was forbidden to publish his Genesis commentary (it remains unpublished to this day!).
This stricture also cast a shadow of suspicion over the entire work of the Ecole Biblique, and at one point its students were forbidden to pursue doctoral work on any biblical topic! Lagrange himself was ordered by his religious superiors in 1912 to leave the Ecole and to return to Toulouse to teach mathematics in a high school; later he was allowed to return.
What is significant about Lagrange is that he was not only a man of great intellectual integrity but also a faithful religious and member of the Church. He submitted to the strictures imposed upon him, although we know from his letters that it was at a great personal cost and with much suffering. Ultimately, though, his personal holiness and fidelity — along with the similar witness of other Catholic scholars in this period — paved the way for Church authority to come to terms with historical criticism and to understand that it was not necessarily an assault on the religious significance of the Bible but opened the possibility of understanding the Scriptures in a more profound way.
The path opened by Lagrange and other Catholic scholars in this transition period at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries would eventually lead to a major shift in the Church's approach to modern biblical interpretation. The "magna carta" of modern Catholic biblical scholarship came with Pope Pius XII's encyclical, Divino Afflante Spiritu, published in 1943 at the height of the Second World War.
While upholding the Church's traditional teaching about biblical inspiration and inerrancy, the Pope at same time encouraged Catholic scholars to explore the historical context of the Scriptures in order to ascertain the original purpose and meaning of the biblical texts. He also encouraged a new generation of scholars to do advanced biblical study and to master the biblical languages and the history of the biblical lands where archaeology had made great advances.
He noted that much had changed in the past 50 years prior to his writing — Pius XII's encyclical was issued on the 50th anniversary of Leo XIII's Providentissimus Deus — and therefore much needed to be done, including new translations and new exploration of the original context of Scripture using authentic historical methods.
Pius XII's encyclical was a major turning point for Catholic biblical scholarship and would have a direct impact on the Second Vatican Council that would open only a few years after the Pope's statement. The biblical renewal that spread through the Church in the decades prior to the Council, fueled by a new generation of Catholic exegetes, would, along with the liturgical movement, be a strong catalyst for the Council itself and have great influence on the spirit and style of the Council's pronouncements.
The dogmatic constitution, Dei Verbum, on divine revelation and the role of the Scriptures in the life of the Church, is one of the Council's most important legacies, both from a doctrinal and pastoral point of view. The final chapter of Dei Verbum laid out a program of renewal for the Church and included many of the exhortations made by Pius XII in Divino Afflante Spiritu. It called for continuing Catholic investment in biblical scholarship, new translations from the original biblical languages (also encouraging ecumenical translations), more use of Scripture in catechesis, theology and preaching, and urged that Catholic laity have full access to the Scriptures.
Another milestone in history of Catholic biblical scholarship came with the Pontifical Biblical Commission's major statement on "The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church," published in 1993 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Divino Afflante Spiritu.
The Pontifical Biblical Commission had been created at the beginning of the 20th century to serve as something of a watchdog over the influence of historical criticism and originally was staffed by bishops.
However, under Pope Paul VI it was placed under the wings of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and was then composed of biblical scholars from around the world. The purpose of the newly organized Commission was to advise the Congregation and ultimately the Pope on matters of biblical interpretation.
The Commission's 1993 statement was a ringing endorsement of the various methods that fall under the heading of "historical criticism." Parallel to this, the Commission also strongly condemned a fundamentalist approach to biblical interpretation that made no room for the historical context and human authorship of the biblical texts.
Such a rigid doctrinaire approach that naively accepted the entire Bible as factually true without any nuance or any allowance for the human limitations of the biblical authors leads its adherents to a kind of intellectual suicide because "it injects into life a false certitude, for it unwittingly confuses the divine substance of the biblical message with what in fact its human limitations."
It should be noted that the Commission's own work over the past two decades produced a series of major studies on various issues utilizing historical-critical methodologies. In 2002 at the express request of John Paul II, the Commission published "The Jewish People and Their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible." This study charted the extraordinary dependence of Christianity on its Jewish roots and the absorption of the Old Testament as part of the Christian Scriptures. It also dealt forthrightly with the question of some apparently anti-Jewish elements in certain New Testament texts.
In 2008, the Commission published another major study entitled "The Bible and Morality: Biblical Roots of Christian Conduct." Here the question was how should the Scriptures be used to address modern moral problems. Most recently the Commission completed another major study on the question of inspiration and inerrancy (this statement has been approved for publication but has not yet appeared).
This was prompted by the concerns of the 2008 General Synod that the Church needed to advance a stronger Catholic perspective on these key issues — particularly in the face of the strong inroads of fundamentalist perspectives in Latin America and Africa. Each of these major statements — all of them formally approved by the pope — employed a variety of historical-critical methods in unfolding their case.
We should note the most recent presentation on the role of the historical critical method is found in the 2010 post-Synodal exhortation of Pope Benedict XVI, in direct response to the proceedings of the 2008 General Synod on "the role of the Scriptures in the life and mission of the Church." Entitled Verbum Domini, it is a rich and extensive reflection on authentic Catholic interpretation of the Bible and the role of the Bible in the life of the Church.
As prefect of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith, the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had presided over the composition of the Biblical Commission's 1993 statement on "The Interpretation of the Bible in the Church," and that statement's influence is apparent in Verbum Domini. But Pope Benedict also advanced beyond that statement and dealt with both the strength and limits of the historical critical method and situated it in the overall context of Catholic interpretation of the Bible.
At the outset Pope Benedict emphasized the necessity and importance of utilizing historical criticism in understanding the Scriptures, reaffirming the 1993 statement of the Biblical Commission: "Before all else, we need to acknowledge the benefits that historical-critical exegesis and other recently developed methods of textual analysis have brought to the life of the Church" (No. 32). The Pope provided a theological basis for this emphasis on historical analysis: "For the Catholic understanding of sacred Scripture, attention to such methods is indispensable, linked as it is to the realism of the Incarnation" (No. 32).
This analogy appeared as well in the Council's Dei Verbum and in other key documents — namely, just as the Eternal Word becomes flesh so the Scriptures themselves are God's Word incarnate in human form. The role of the human author, the historical and social context in which the biblical text was composed, the limits of culture and language that are intrinsic to the human condition — all of these constitute the "flesh" in which the biblical word is embedded and, therefore, all authentic methods of historical and literary inquiry are appropriate for plumbing the meaning of the biblical text.
But Pope Benedict's contribution in Verbum Domini goes beyond this important confirmation of the value of historical criticism in biblical interpretation and considers the entire context in which Catholic biblical interpretation ought to take place. An underlying conviction apparent in the Pope's discussion here is a concern that he often expressed: the split between faith and reason.
Faith divorced from reason, the Pope noted, can become ideological and lose its moorings; on the other hand, reason that is not open to the reality of the transcendent is limited and can also go astray. In the case of biblical interpretation, this means it is not enough simply to describe the historical context of a biblical text. It also must be realized that the Scriptures are the Word of God and therefore to advance to the question of the meaning of a biblical text for contemporary life.
Therefore, the proper context for authentic and mature biblical interpretation, the pope notes, "is the life of the Church" (No. 29). Here the pope cites the 1993 statement of the Biblical Commission to affirm that this is not something imposed arbitrarily by Church authority but "rather is something demanded by the very nature of the Scriptures and the way they gradually came in to being." The Bible is the Church's book, and its essential place in the Church's life gives rise to its genuine interpretation" (No. 29).
The pope is careful to note that this does not mean that every article or book about Scripture has to end up with a theological interpretation and he recognizes the use of historical criticism on its own can provide interesting and helpful information about a particular biblical book or passage. But a priori viewings of these types of analysis as the only legitimate object of biblical interpretation, thereby viewing the Bible as a kind of historical or cultural artifact, "inevitably prove merely preliminary and structurally incomplete efforts" (No. 30).
To view the Bible merely as an interesting and highly influential form of ancient literature and to rule out in advance the transcendent dimensions of the text as the inspired Word of God is to bring into biblical interpretation the spilt between faith and reason that the pope sees as a serious problem of modernity. Biblical interpreters, therefore, "arrive at the true goal of their work only when they have explained the meaning of the biblical text as God's word for today" (No. 33).
In both the 1993 statement of the Biblical Commission and in Pope Benedict's exhortation Verbum Domini, biblical interpretation within the context of a community of faith leads to other considerations or "rules of the road" beyond the legitimacy of the historical-critical method.
For example, the person of faith who views the entire Bible as God's inspired word must also take into account the full span of the Scriptures when giving attention to the meaning of a particular passage.
While the Bible was obviously composed over time and contains a variety of books and literary forms and theological perspectives, it is also, from the point of view of Christian faith, one unified Word of God. And that overall context must be in play when trying to understand a particular biblical passage or motif.
As the pope notes, this is particularly true when encountering difficult passages where violence seems to be condoned or where the religious perspective of a passage seems limited; in considering such passages we are reminded "that biblical revelation is deeply rooted in history and that od's plan is manifested progressively and it is accomplished slowly, in successive stages and despite human resistance" (No.42).
Furthermore, Christian faith leads the biblical interpreter to a truly Christian reading of the entire Bible, both the Old and New Testaments. The pope cautions that this should not be a forced reading of the Old Testament nor does it detract from reading and interpreting the Old Testament texts in their own right. Yet, at the same time, for the Christian who believes that Jesus Christ is God's Word incarnate and that Jesus represents the full embodiment of the hopes and longings of God's people Israel, it is salutary to find a deeper level of meaning in the Old Testament texts as a kind of prefigurement of Christ. For inevitably, "Christians. . .read the Old Testament in the light of Christ crucified and risen" (No. 41).
Citing the Biblical Commission's statement on "The Jewish People and Their Sacred Scriptures in the Christian Bible," the pope notes that this perspective should not lead to a kind of "supersessionism" that considers Judaism as no longer valid and totally replaced by Christianity, nor does it render invalid and erroneous Judaism's own reading and interpretation of its sacred Scriptures.
And, finally, authentic Catholic interpretation of the Bible should be done in harmony with the Church's tradition and teaching authority. Scripture, the pope notes, "must be interpreted in the same Spirit in which it was written" and this means taking into account "the living tradition of the whole Church" (No. 35). The Council's statement Dei Verbum had proposed a now famous formulation that emphasized the inherent harmony between the Scriptures and the Tradition and teaching authority of the Church; namely, there is one Biblical Word of God which is expressed "both in Scripture and in tradition."
Therefore the biblical interpreter, who is a member of the community of faith and works in that spirit, will emphasize the harmony between the biblical text and the profound life of the Church. One might call this a "hermeneutics of grace" in contrast to a "hermeneutics of suspicion." A hermeneutics of suspicion is a legitimate approach to interpretation that begins at the outset by questioning the accepted view of things and wondering about the original motivation or purpose of a biblical text. While Catholic exegetes might well use this vantage point in challenging traditional interpretations of a particular passage as a means of moving to new perspectives, belonging to a community of faith also means exercising as well a hermeneutics of grace that respects the life of faith and the Church's tradition and seeks to find authentic harmony between the biblical message and the life of the Church.
All in all, over the past century or so the Catholic Church has experienced a remarkable change of perspective regarding the use of historical methods in biblical interpretation. From fearing and condemning its use, it has come not only to accept it but to consider it essential for the work of biblical exegesis. At the same time the Church developed a nuanced understanding of the full work of biblical interpretation at the service of the community of faith.
In this fuller perspective, the work of the biblical interpreter is not complete until it arrives at the meaning of the Scriptures for the life of faith. Taking the long view, the Catholic Church may have been prepared for this absorption of modern historical methods by its ancient wisdom. The Fathers of the Church always insisted on multiple levels of meaning in the biblical text and, therefore, multiple ways of interpretation.
Pope Benedict points to this precedent in Verbum Domini. The theology of the Fathers was primarily commentary on Scripture, and they invariably did their interpretation "in communion with the experience of the Church." At the same time, they were aware of the rich complexity of the biblical text and its many layers of meaning beyond the literal sense (No. 37).
From the Second Vatican Council and from the subsequent teaching of the Pontifical Biblical Commission and the modern popes, the Church has acquired a well-grounded and balanced understanding of the role of the Scriptures in the life of the Church and an intelligent and thoughtful understanding of what biblical interpretation at the service of the community of faith requires.

Just what got checked off the Vegan To-Do List from my Return to Boston post…
See tall buildings? check!
As for food, let's start with the No Name. If there was a flag representing Vegan Boston, this would be on it. The very first gluten/fake meaty anything I could stomach! (and now require at least once every two years). Battered gluten, sweet and sour sauce, sesame seeds, broccoli – need I go on?
More from Grasshopper – Tofu & Broccoli
1/100th as exciting as the No Name, I know.
What best follows Grasshopper? Pizza! Who's with me? (Not immediately after! Allicia can attest.)
Slice of the day from Peace 'O Pie in Allston. With Daiya, vegan sausage, pine nuts, kalamata olives, and roasted garlic.
I was really content with my experience at the former T.J. Scallywagg's. On top of that, this was the first time I tried the Mozzarella Daiya and continued eating. Super nice staff, great menu, and gluten free options! Any place that optimizes the pine nuts gets a gold star in my book.
My friends shared this intense looking vegan ham & mushrooms pie:
Tableside jar of Parma. A shaker of nooch (okay, or Parma) is the true sign of a vegan friendly establishment.
Soy Latte from Espresso Royale on Newbury Street
Featuring Bagel Rising bagels and cream cheeses & tofu cream cheeses!
Below, you can see my first East Coast bagel experience – a real treat with jalapeno tofu cream cheese, roasted red peppers, and sprouts. Thank you to my friend Sarah for the rec, even if I wasn't badass enough for the vegan Tequila bagel sandwich!
Dinner at Montien Thai Restaurant in the Theater District.
One of those great, impromptu dining decisions. I was really pleased that our server didn't even flinch at the vegan requests.
Sorry for the flash photos, but what can I say? It was after a bubble gum martini at the IT.
Rice Noodle something something.
Back Bay, the old college stomping grounds.
Comm. Ave – tiny little bits of old snow that broke my heart.
Wired Puppy Coffee on Newbury St.
Espresso from Wired Puppy. Every now and I give in and decide my stomach is up to the task. It was worth it.
Davis Square & Blue Shirt Cafe
My friend Millie and I decided to visit Davis Square for a bit. I have so many fond memories from my first apartment there.
Our original intention, besides wandering memories, was to visit the new, all vegan Pulse Cafe that someone had left me a comment about a couple months ago. Sadly, we were in Davis early on, and the cafe didn't open until 5pm.
We then browsed the menu at Diesel Cafe and were both bummed that the most exciting vegan option being a hummus plate, and went corner the corner to Blue Shirt for lunch. The cafe had expanded since my days of running in for a wrap with tofu to quickly eat on the T to class or work downtown, and it at least seemed like their vegan options had as well. There were a few more mentions of tofu on the menu, but bizarrely, it's not that they weren't vegan, because I comprehend that honey and eggs are utilized, but that there wasn't a vegan-izable version of a couple of these options. Both Millie and I found our wraps unexciting, which is extra sad considering that a) we have just flown in that morning and were ravenous, and b) we're both excitable people!
A Disappointed Millieship
Her Disappointing Curry Wrap
My Disappointing Wrap. I rarely don't remember what something was, but this…huh?
Expanded Blue Shirt Cafe
Ah, Chinatown. I remember when I found you terrifyingly sketchy to walk through at night as a college freshman. How things change. This is where the original Buddha's Delight was. I did go for lunch at My Thai, and have a review in the works.
Soy Latte from Boston Common Coffee Co. in Downtown Crossing. News to me. I have to say that it doesn't look like much, but it was decent.
Let's head to Kendall Square. When I lived in the area, I was constantly paranoid of secret helicopter pads and underground labs blowing up on the MIT campus.
My reason for the venture to Kendall – scoping out the Clover Food Labs food cart. It was nearby the relocated Olive Tree cart, which was formerly my staple Jerusalem cart (and restaurant). I was in college, so my diet was supposed to consist of $3 falafel wraps. C
Heading down to Central Square – just because it's fun, I will mention again how much I used to love Pu Pu Hot Pot, their free delivery, and Spicy Tofu and Broccoli in Garlic Sauce. And again, did you see their name?
The highlight of my time in Central Square, or Cambridge, for that matter,my first exposure to Leslie and the Lys! Wow. Wow. Wow. WOW.
Another highlight? 1369 Coffee House. So reliable!
Vanilla Soy Latte. Vanilla = Vacation.
Next up, NYC.

On top of the single-player platforming mode, there are also quite a few mini-game style multiplayer modes as well. Although they arent incredibly deep, there are some fun competitive modes like Sloth Says (which is a variation on Simon Says) and Sloth Barge, which challenges you to knock off a small iceberg using snowballs. In addition to these, there are six other multiplayer modes (each limited to two players). However, the game does not give you these multiplayer modes automatically, and you will have to purchase them in-game, or unlock them by completing advanced levels.
As far as graphics are concerned, Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs fares pretty well. The character models do a good job of recreating the look of the familiar faces from the movie, and I was surprised at the level of detail on some of the characters. The animation was also very impressive, and the games cutscenes featured a consistent framerate and smooth textures. However, even though these aspects looked good, I couldnt help notice that the background visuals were a little bit lacking, and the environments didnt have much variation. Still, the game does look decent overall, especially considering it is based on a kids movie.
One aspect of this title that was quite surprising was the quality of the sound. Anyone who has played a number of movie-inspired titles knows that voiceovers generally consist of a number of sound-alikes standing in for the actors from the original movie. However, I was impressed to learn that many of the actors from the actual film, including Ray Romano, Queen Latifah, and John Leguizamo reprised their roles for the game. However, even though the voiceover is nice, the background music is a little lacking and very repetitive.
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, like the movie of the same name, it wont win any awards for breaking the mold or taking any gameplay risks. But the game accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do, and I cant really complain about that. There are plenty of fun movie-inspired platforming levels, and the unlockable multiplayer modes certainly add some replay value. If you or someone you know loves the Ice Age franchise, then this game will certainly please fans without giving them too much of a challenge.

Media Statements & Speeches
Commissioner Tony Clark Statement
May 16, 2013
Docket No. ER11-4338-000
Item No. E-6
NYISO Order No. 745 Market Services Tariff Compliance Filing
While I agree with the decisions in todays order, particularly the determination that entities not purchasing energy in the relevant NYISO energy market should not be allocated any demand response costs, I write separately to highlight my disagreement with the underlying decision in Order No. 745 to overcompensate demand response resources by paying them full LMP in the energy markets.
Order No. 745 was created to alleviate barriers to demand response in wholesale energy markets by ensuring greater comparability between the compensation of demand response resources and supply-side resources. However, the compensation settled on by the Commission goes beyond the level needed to promote competition, and overcompensates demand response resources.
I support comparable treatment and compensation between resources as necessary precursors to a diverse resource pool and robust wholesale energy markets. These fundamental principles prevent me from supporting full LMP compensation for demand response. As a resource, demand response is capable of delivering benefits to the markets by curtailing load when our grid is most in need. However, when a demand response resource provides a service to the market, it avoids a payment that it would otherwise incur. These savings should be accounted for when determining a just, reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory rate. This is where Order No. 745 falls short. By providing full LMP compensation, the wholesale energy markets are now overcompensating demand response resources for their services and forcing consumers to pay more than needed to ensure comparability and overcome barriers faced by demand response.
The decision to compensate demand response at full LMP also leads to differential treatment between resources participating in the energy market. Order No. 745 provides demand response with a payment equal to LMP plus the savings associated with avoided energy usage. This extra incentive places other resources at a disadvantage and at risk of being displaced. I cannot support this preferential treatment, especially at a time when resources are relying on accurate market signals to weather a storm of changing economic and regulatory conditions.
For these reasons, I respectfully partially dissent from this order.

According to recent reports in The Hill, California Representative Dan Lungren (R) of California's 3rd Congressional District has recently introduced H.R. 3872 — The Excellence in Energy Efficiency Act of 2012 – an interesting piece of legislation that would award $1 billion to the first American incorporated auto company that can produce and sell 60,000 mid-sized sedans that, and here is the catch, are also capable of getting 100 miles per gallon on gasoline-powered engines.
Interestingly, Rep. Lungren's bill would presumably only apply for cars that utilize gasoline as its sole means of power. So, cars like Chevy's Volt, which currently clocks in around 93 MPGe on its gas plug-in hybrid electric system, would more than likely not qualify. Congressmen Lungren's bill also points out that sub-compact vehicles and all-electric would not be eligible to receive the cash prize either.
Serving as a sort of antithesis to the Democrats increased push for greener, hybrids, and all-electric cars, it's worth mentioning that Rep. Lungren's bill would also seek to end the current $7,500 tax credit awarded to individuals who purchase electric vehicles, like the Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus Energi, or the Chevy Volt. Of course he wouldn't be the only GOP Representative to share that sentiment. Recently Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) introduced a bill that seeks to terminate the $7,500 tax credit awarded to consumers who purchase an electric vehicle, which according to various estimates could end up costing the government several billion dollars.
Republican criticism over Democratic practices is, of course, nothing new. In fact, Republicans have long blasted the Obama administration over its partial government ownership of GM. Republicans, and American citizens no less, have also been concerned with the amount of government subsidies handed to various automakers, especially subsidies for GM's Chevy Volt.
Rep. Lungren's bill is not the first of its kind, though. While the awards didn't reach anywhere near his proposed $1 billion, recently NASA and the Defense Department offered incentives to companies that further develop technology related to space exploration and robotics.
Whether you agree with Rep. Lungren's proposed bill, or think it is another attempt to throw government money at the auto industry, we can't help but wonder if promoting gasoline-powered cars (albeit ones that get more than double the average MPG right now) will truly help the country shake its dependency on oil — over 30 percent of which comes from regimes that are less friendly or stable, such as Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Algeria. We're not convinced it would.
There are certainly those out there now that see electric cars as both an answer, at least in some ways, to the ongoing energy crisis, and a solution to partially decrease the countries dependency on foreign oil. But considering all the conflict, controversy, and political issues surrounding many oil exporting countries (not to mention the billions spent on oil subsidies), would it not be more prudent to continue pushing for developments in alternate car technology such as electrics?
No one will argue that a gasoline-powered car that gets an improved 100 miles per gallon is a bad thing, but given all the not-so-savory minutiae surrounding gasoline and oil, it seems that Rep. Lungren's proposed bill is more of a step backwards than forwards. Electric cars and the technology are by no means perfect, but they are the future, at least until we come up with something better.

UH Hilo Distinguished Alumni Awards banquet set for February 27
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Thursday, January 22, 2009
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Alumni and Friends Association honors three of its own with Distinguished Alumni Awards while three others will be recognized with Distinguished Service Awards on Friday, February 27 beginning at 5 p.m. in the UH Hilo Campus Center Dining Room. Tickets are $50 each, $375 for a table of eight. The RSVP deadline is February 17.
Distinguished Alumni Awardees for 2009 are environmental, planning and land use consultant Dr. Ron Terry, real estate broker Carol Ginoza-Arikawa, and Kumu Lehua Veincent, a noted teacher and school administrator. The husband and wife duo of Margaret Ushijima and the late State Senator John Ushijima and State Representative Clift Tsuji are the Distinguished Service Awardees.
Dr. Ron Terry earned his BA in geography at UH Hilo in 1980, and went on to earn a PhD in 1988 from Louisiana State University. He was an associate professor at UH Hilo from 1989-1992, developing a reputation for excellence as a teacher in geography and environmental sciences.
In 1991, Terry started a successful independent consulting firm, Geometrician Associates. Despite his busy schedule as a successful CEO, Terry has managed to teach a course a year at UH Hilo in Environmental Impact Assessment and has also provided frequent guest lectures for other Geography courses.
Terry served several years as education chair of the Hawaiʻi Island Economic Development Board. In 2000, then-Governor Ben Cayetano appointed Terry to the State's Marine and Coastal Zone Advocacy Council (MCZAC), a public advisory body that addresses coastal issues and advocates for the State's Coastal Zone Management Program initiatives. He has provided his environmental expertise pro bono to a number of community initiatives, including forest stewardship, Hawaiian farming rights, cultural learning and community facilities. Geometrician Associates supports the arts as a long-term corporate sponsor of the Hawai'i Concert Society.
In June 2008, Terry established the Geography Founders Scholarship, naming the $25,000 endowed scholarship after UH Hilo Geography Department founders Drs. Jim and Sonya Juvik, Jim Kelly and Jack Healy, who all inspired and encouraged him to continue his education after earning his degree at UH Hilo.
Carol S. Ginoza-Arikawa is a community leader in every sense of the word. A 1973 graduate of UH Hilo with degrees in both English and social studies, she founded Ginoza Realty, Inc. in 1982 and remains its principal broker and president.
Ginoza-Arikawa has a long record of service to the real estate industry, the community and the University. She is a longtime member of the Hawai'i Island Board of Realtors and has been active in industry organizations. She has been the Board's secretary and has served on the Grievance Committee since 1994. In 1995, she was selected as one of the Big Island Women of the Year. Since 2007, she has served on the State of Hawai'i Regulated Industry Complaint Office (RICO) Advisory Committee.
Her community service includes membership on the Kuikahi Mediation Board of Directors since 2006, also serving as its fundraising co-chair the past three years. She served as treasurer of Hilo Little League from 1997-2006 and served double-duty as secretary from 2000-2006. She was also on the board of the Boys and Girls Club of Hilo from 2003-2006.
Ginoza-Arikawa also has a long record of service to UH Hilo. She chaired the UH Hilo Athletic Fund Drive from 1992-1995 and has served on the UH Hilo Athletic Advisory Board since 2003. She is a charter member of Hui Ka'ua, serving on various committees, and co-chaired the Food Committee for the 2008 UH Hilo New Faculty Reception. Her company donated funds to furnish the Vulcan softball team in 2003, in 2007 she contributed toward the UH Hilo Performing Arts "Name a Seat" campaign, and she is the newest member to join the Performing Arts Center's Advisory Committee.
Known affectionately by many as "Kumu Lehua," Lehua Mark Veincent is on the vanguard of Hawaiian language immersion education. The Hawai'i Island native with genealogical ties to Ka'u, Puna and Keaukaha, earned dual degrees at UH Hilo—a BA in Hawaiian studies and a BBA in business in 1988, plus teacher certification in 1990. He has also earned two masters degrees from UH Manoa, in curriculum and instruction in 1999, and in educational administration in 2002.
Veincent has served as a teacher at Keaukaha School in Hilo, Pa'ia Elementary School on Maui and Ke Kula 'o Nawahiokalani'opu'u when it was established in 1994. He has taught kindergarten through 12th grades, and has also served as a lecturer and supervisor in the teacher education program at UH Hilo. For over two decades, he has taught and coordinated the Hawaiian language, literature, and cultural classes for the DOE Community School for Adults. He served as producer, host, curriculum developer, and instructor of ITV Hawaiian Language Conversation through a partnership between Hilo Community School for Adults and Pacific Resources for Education and Learning.
In 2001, Veincent co-founded the Ke Ana La'ahana Public Charter School, a grades 7-12 Hawaiian cultural-based school within Keaukaha School. He has served as a State resource teacher in Hawaiian studies and language, vice principal at Hilo Intermediate and Hilo High Schools, and principal of Ke Ana La'ahana.
Veincent is currently principal of Keaukaha Elementary School – a K-6 school on Hawaiian Home Lands, which has gained recognition as one of the schools meeting annual yearly progress goals under the federal No Child Left Behind Act.
Despite the long hours required of an administrator, Veincent continues to serve as coordinator of the Keaukaha night tutorial program for grades K-12 and summer school programs for high school students of Keaukaha with Aunty Luana Kawelu of the Queen Lili'uokalani Children's Center, as he has for 12 years. He also continues to teach Hawaiian language in the evenings in Keaukaha and recently at the Kulani Correctional Facility.
Margaret S. Ushijima and her late husband John exemplify lives committed to the principle that higher education can break down social barriers and maximize human potential.
Ms. Ushijima began her service with the UH Hilo Campus in 1963, as it was then known. A great many UH Hilo graduates attribute much of their success to the encouragement, help, and candor that she provided. She led the Office of Student Services as director and then dean of students from 1968 to 1973. She served in that capacity until her retirement in 1980, when she went to law school and after graduation, joined her husband in the family firm, Ushijima & Ushijima.
While serving in the State Senate, John Ushijima was instrumental in the transformation of the two-year transfer institution that was the UH Hilo Campus to a full four-year degree-granting college. At a time when there was considerable resistance to the idea of having a second four-year degree-granting institution in Hawai'i, Ushijima brought his considerable influence in the Legislature to bear to make a degree-granting college in Hilo a reality. He also secured substantial appropriations to finance development of the campus infrastructure. After his retirement from the Senate, Ushijima was appointed to the University of Hawai'i Board of Regents in 1987 and served for eight years.
John Ushijima passed away on August 13, 2006 at age 82. Margaret, who retired from the practice of law in 2003, continues to be active in community affairs.
State Representative Clift Tsuji understands the positive economic impact a strong university has on a community such as Hilo, both as a large-scale employer and as an educator of the local workforce.
Tsuji, a retired Central Pacific Bank senior vice president, has long been a staunch supporter of UH Hilo. Now in his third term representing the 3rd House District, Tsuji has assumed a proactive role as a creator of and advocate for legislative initiatives to benefit UH Hilo.
In the 2007 and 2008 legislative sessions, Tsuji introduced three bills and one concurrent resolution directly affecting UH Hilo, two relating to Hawaiian language education. As Chair of the House Agriculture Committee, Tsuji introduced a measure requesting that the UH Hilo College of Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resource Management collaborate with the State Department of Agriculture and Hawaiʻi Community College to conduct a study to evaluate programs developed by the Kulani Correctional Facility to aid in the revitalization of State agriculture.
Closer to home, Tsuji has worked as a member of the UH Hilo Education Department's Advisory and Advocacy Group. He provided support for Associate Professor Seri Luangphinith and the book project of her English 323 class, Ku Kilakila: Writing from the Big Island. In addition, he supported repairs to the Manono Street Campus, testified before the Board of Regents in support of the China-U.S. Center and worked to advance the UH Hilo Baccalaureate Nursing program and to fund faculty positions.
In addition to the awards ceremony, there will be a silent auction with proceeds to the UH Hilo Alumni Scholarship Fund.

If you have some time and care to share your opinions I would appreciate it. I am writing an article and looking for some input regarding IDS/IPS. Do you think that IDS is a necessity for companies or is it just marketing hype that is driving it? If you agree that companies should implement IDs or IPS on their networks what sort of justifications would you provide to get approval for the purchase?
What do you feel are key issues for companies to consider when choosing an IDS/IPS solution and things they need to keep in mind in setting it up?
Many devices seem to be Swiss-army knife solutions these days which incorporate firewalls, IDS, content filtering, IDS and more. Do all-in-one solutions make sense for companies with little to no budget? What sort of pitfalls or caveats do you think exist when looking at these solutions?
Lastly- what about outsourcing it? Do you feel that outsourcing IDS is a viable option for small to medium companies rather than investing the resources to deploy and manage their own solution?

|This is just the kind of movie people are talking about when they complain that there's no family friendly movies being made anymore. In 1940's Mississippi, awkward only child Willie (Muniz) sees his life change when, over the protests of his overprotective father (Bacon), he gets a puppy, Skip, for his ninth birthday. Amid much nostalgia and sentiment, Willie learns to be more outgoing and has many coming-of-age moments. Even if some of the plot elements are weak, the look and feel of the period is captured well, and Muniz does a fine job, although no human is likely to compete with the pooch, anyway. Kids will love the antics of Skip, and adults will enjoy having their hearts, and memories, tugged. Based on the book by Willie Morris.

82-year-old searches for spouse, wears sign reading 'Wanted: A Wife'
CORVALLIS, Ore. (CNN/KVAL) — "Ask for what you want, plainly and clearly. If you don't ask, you will probably never receive."
That's a philosophy Sandy McCulloch has lived by over the course of his 82 years on this earth. It's a philosophy that goes through his mind every time he hangs a bold, homemade sign around his neck.
It reads: "Wanted: A Wife."
At the bottom of the sign is another inscription: "This is not kidding."
He wears it almost every day around his hometown of Corvallis, Ore.
McCulloch is no stranger to the fairer sex. He was married and divorced three times over the course of 39 years, and he said he regrets none of it.
"I've had a wonderful life, knowing a lot of people and a lot of women" McCulloch said.
At the age of 82, McCulloch said he's changed, going so far as to say he has "cleaned up" his act."
What does that mean? He said he's not looking for what his 20-year-old self would have looked for in a wife.
"At this point, I'd love to just find the perfect companion," McCulloch said.
That doesn't mean he doesn't have any criteria. For starters, his potential wife must be over 60, love books, have a sense of humor and live in Corvallis.
The last requirement may be the most important.
"I love Corvallis," McCulloch said. "It's the perfect place for an old man."
The first requirement may be the least.
"If a gorgeous 40- or 50-year-old came along and said, 'I'm too young, but I want to be your wife,' I'd probably do it," McCulloch said.
