Ahh., welcome to the first Midweek Movies of 2012. Before the Mayan prophecy causes the world to end later in the year (or not), we're going to be bringing you the pick of the web's miniature moving pictures.
The Kjerag Bolten, a boulder jammed above around 900m of drop in Norway, is famous among people that like to scare a bit of wee out themselves by jumping on (and off) it. We're surprised noone thought of riding a bike off it earlier. While we've seen plenty of base jumping videos before, there is something about watching a bike accelerate into freefall that's a little bit scary – a touch of perspective possibly. We particularly like the fact he has the brakes covered on the way down too.
Thanks to Mike Thomas for the link.
Seeing as we haven't had any snow yet, here's a bit of snow biking action. It doesn't mean we want any though – okay?
More winter-season 'fun' now, with our Benji's edit from last weekend's Todcross, organised by a certain Mr Chippendale. They've gone and ruined Centre Vale Park.
Ahh, kids today. TWOCing cars, underage drinking, shredding the gnar – good old fashioned fun in this coming of age parody from freeride film-makers Kranked.
More snow – with a bit of a difference. Street skiing from JP Auclair's segment in All.I.Can. Beautifully shot and a true bit of innovation in an 'action sports' video. The rest of the video is available to download on iTunes here…
If a Western is shot in eastern France and Belgium what does it make it? A steak hache Western? God knows, but this is a slightly bizarre mix of Western pastiche and dirt jump video – welcome to Far Dirt…
Alex Honnold is widely regarded as the best free soloist currently out there – and by 'out there' we assume them mean 'managing to hold on to his life literally by the skin on his fingers'. We can't think of anything less pleasant than having a crisis of confidence at 1,800 odd feet without a rope, harness or anything useful in sight.
Cheers for everyone's suggestions – if you've seen anything good then send it to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll pop it up here next week…

Men's Basketball Edged by Adrian 60-57 at Van Noord Arena - Falls Into Fourth Place Tie in MIAA
Saturday, January 28, 2012
By Sports Information Student Assistant Mark DeHaan
With Adrian in second place in the MIAA at 5-2 and Calvin tied for third at 4-3, the Saturday afternoon contest promised to be hard fought, and thats exactly what it was. In the end, Adrian came out on top 60-57 in a hard-fought game at Calvin's Van Noord Arena.
Adrian maintains sole possession of second place in the MIAA standings while Calvin slips into fourth place behind Trine. The Knights are tied with Albion for fourth place in the league standings at 4-4.
From the tip, both teams fought for an advantage, with the tie scored five times in the first ten minutes.
Adrian then jumped out on a 6-0 run including two fast break layups to build an 18-12 advantage. A layup by junior Bryan Powell ended the Bulldogs run, but Adrian would hit a pair of jumpers before settling on a 24-19 halftime lead.
Calvin shot just 13 field goals in the first half, making five. The Knights stayed in the game on 8-of-12 shooting from the free-throw line, limiting Adrian to just 0-for-1 from the stripe. Powell led the Knights at halftime with seven points, while sophomore Tyler Kruis added five.
Early in the second half, Calvin drew to within two points on two occasions, but could not tie-up the Bulldogs as Adrian would respond each time with a basket of their own.
With 13:20 remaining, and down 41-33, Calvin went on a 7-0 run, capped by a one-handed jam by freshman Tyler Dykstra, to bring the score to 41-40.
Five straight points by the Bulldogs expanded the Adrian lead to 46-40 before a layup by junior David Rietema and a jumper by junior Matt DeBoer brought the score to 46-44.
With 5:20 left in the game, a Rietema free-throw would draw the Knights to within one at 52-51. Calvin could not overcome the one point deficit, however, as Adrian continued to hold the lead.
With 1:47 remaining, a Powell jumper finally tied up the game at 57-57.
After an Adrian free-throw, Calvin had a number of opportunities with under a minute left but were stopped on a shot-clock violation. A layup by Adrian junior Delano Collins gave the Bulldogs a 60-57 lead with 13 seconds remaining.
With the clock winding down, Powell put up a three-point shot that bounced off the back iron and out, giving the Bulldogs the tight 60-57 victory.
That was one intense basketball game. I'm really proud of how hard our guys played, said Head Coach Kevin Vande Streek. In a game like this, its one possession. One possession determines whether you win or lose a tightly contested game, and theres always that one. That one you could have blocked out, made those two free-throws instead of splitting. It's a hard one to lose because I thought we invested an awful lot today.
The Knights were led on offense by DeBoer, who scored 15 points. Powell added 11 while Kruis chipped in nine points and five rebounds. Overall, Calvin shot 53.8% from the field but struggled at the free-throw line, shooting just 63.2%. Calvin also gave up 13 offensive rebounds to Adrian, giving the Bulldogs a number of second chance points.
Leading Adrian on offense was sophomore Richaud Pack with 14 points, while junior Brad Whitby added 13. Collins scored eight and junior Dennis Mason also chipped in eight points and grabbed seven rebounds.
The loss moves Calvin to 9-10 overall, 4-4 in the MIAA and into a tie for fourth place with Albion. Adrian is now 13-5 overall and 6-2 in conference, second in the MIAA.
Calvin's next game will be Wednesday when it heads to Albion for an 8 p.m. contest against the Britons.

AbstractPneumonia is one kind of common infectious disease, which is usually caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. In this paper, we predicted genomic islands in three bacterial pathogens of pneumonia. They are Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Streptococcus pneumoniae, respectively. For each pathogen, one clinical strain is involved. After implementing the cumulative GC profile combined with h and BCN index, eight genomic islands are found in three pathogens. Among them, six genomic islands are found to have mobility elements, which constitute a kind of conserved character of genomic islands, and this introduces the possibility that they are genuine genomic islands. The present results show that the cumulative GC profile when combined with h and BCN indexes is a good method for predicting genomic islands in bacteria and it has lower false positive rate than the SIGI method. Specially, three genomic islands are found to contain clusters of genes coding for production of virulence factors and this is useful for research into the pathogenicity of these pathogens and helpful for the treatment of diseases caused by them.

You are driving down the road and your car runs out of gas. You begin to get extremely frustrated and then you look around and realize you are less than a block away from a gas station. Do you thank God for your good luck?
You are fired one day only to have an old friend call you the next with a job opportunity of a lifetime. Do you sit and ponder that God was at work in your life?
These situations may not apply to your life. Your life challenges may be easier or more difficult but either way, you still have challenges. A couple of weekends ago, Priscilla Shirer was at McKinney Memorial Bible Church. She was speaking at the Going Beyond event and was discussing how we sometimes miss the moments when God is present because we are looking in the wrong direction. There are times we are so self-focused we miss the fact that we are not equipped to handle every situation that comes our way. We try everything in our might to make things right instead of realizing we have to sit back and rely on God to take it on for us. Other times, we are looking to God but we get frustrated because we believe He should be acting in our favor NOW and not later. We begin to wonder if He really is listening to us. Did He forsake us? What did we do wrong? Are we being punished?
Sometimes the answer is simple- God wants to have our undivided attention so that we see Him in all His glory. Sometimes the only way for that to happen is for Him to act on our behalf in a less than timely manner. Priscilla told the story of Mary and Martha sending for Jesus. Lazarus was on his death bed and they knew Jesus could cure him. The expected thing would be for Jesus to hurry up and get to Lazarus or to tell Mary and Martha their faith was strong enough their will was done. Instead, Jesus stayed where He was two more days before traveling to where Lazarus lay. By the time He got to Lazarus, he had been dead for four days. (John 11) Why did Jesus take His time?
Priscilla pointed out what many have read but not understood- Jesus took His time so that He could prove to His disciples once again His power. His followers had seen Jesus heal with just a word, without the person in need of help even being present. (Matthew 15:21-28) Other times, He had raised the dead within hours of passing. (Mark 5:40-43) Even having witnessed all that, the disciples still wavered in faith now and then. But, to raise someone who had been dead for days, then the disciples would have to say, "Now that's God!" There could be no other explanation.
Is God using a situation in your life in this way? Take heart and remember, He is always with you and He is more powerful than any circumstance you may find yourself in. As someone said to me recently, "Don't tell God how big your problem is. Tell your problem how big your God is." And always remember God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5) Never.

"We met Mike for the first time at the Omaha Home show and glad we did! Mike and his team are true professionals. He came to our house to discuss deck design and to show us materials. Upon agreement he and his team completed a sizable deck that we are completely happy with. During installation he always ensured the area was clean and the deck came out beautiful, He also installed underneath the deck a system that we couls stay under the deck and keep dry during a rain. Mike continued to ensure we were happy with the deck during the entire construction process. We had some delays due to bad weather and he always kept us in the loop and actually was out working on some of the more miserable days of the year. We had looked at a number of deck companies in the Omaha area and are so glad we were able to work with him. He is honest, hardworking, and professional. We would highly recommend his services to others considering building a deck. You have to give this company a look if you are considering building a new deck!!!"
Hugh & Sonja T., Bellevue, NE
"We knew we wanted Mike to build our deck after the first meeting - you listened to what we had in mind, did the measurements, walked the yard, and asked enough questions to be sure we were on the same page...Really professional, experienced, and obviously competent...And once the project started you all did a great job of responding to questions and keeping us in the loop for changes...The attention to detail and the overall quality of your construction is fabulous - nice clean edges, neat corners, perfectly even steps, and everything lined up just right on a very solid deck...We only wish we had gotten in touch with you sooner to get the deck built! Well worth the $$$$."
Mark & Donna C,. Omaha, NE
"We wanted a deck that would accent our home and Mike delivered. He helped in the design, offered suggestions and put on the finishing touches. Mike gave us a schedule and adhered to it including coordinating with other subcontractors. He did a final walk through and made sure that everything was perfect. The finished product was unbelievable. We love our new deck!"
Bob & Debbie B., LaVista NE
"Without a doubt one of the best contractors I have ever had work for me. Mike not only gave me a quality product but was the only contractor to tell me that I could extend my deck an extra 2 feet at no additional cost. He and his associate were here at the time they said they would be and finished the job in a timely manner. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to replace a deck!"
Richard & Josie M., Omaha, NE
"Mike did an outstanding job! He is an experienced professional who works hard and produces quality results. Thanks to many of his suggestions and excellent craftsmanship, our deck is a show piece. We could not be more pleased with the outcome."
Nadine J., Waterloo, NE
"Family and friends have more than just given their approval and naturally I pass your name on to any and all who have seen or heard me talking about our deck."
Jake & Kay H., Papillion, NE
"We couldn't have asked for a better contractor than Mike to build our new deck. He knew what he was doing and got it done in a timely and professional manner. Mike was on top of the entire project from start to finish and kept us in the loop when necessary! We love the larger deck and will use it a lot. We recommend Mike highly for anyone wishing to build a new deck!"
Shirley & Bill N., Omaha, NE
"We had Mike replace the deck on the back of our house. The original was approximately 48 by 14. I asked him to replace it with two decks to balance the look and make the area under the deck more useful. Mike designed the new decks and the project was started. Weather delays caused a couple of delays, but Mike kept us up to date with the intended start date. The quality of his work is excellent, his work ethic is excellent and his communication prior, during and at the completion of the deck has been excellent. We found out after signing on with Mike that a friend had used him and he gave an excellent recommendation. I had talked to another contractor who recommended that we use Mike. He said his work was exellent and it was."
Shelley & Larry M., Elkhorn, NE

Hi Bill Hacker, you wrote. BH> There probably *should* be at least a little bit of BH> a barrier to *BSD entry. Ability to read, and follow simple BH> instructions? I'd vote for red blinking instructions about the user you need to login as to start installing. So even I will know about it the first time I boot the OS (and don't start a Gentoo like installation by hand aided by a obviously outdated doc on the site ;-)... Aside of that, the installer is just fine. It's not trying to setup a desktop system so nobody really cares how it looks. Regards, Gabriel

The Juneau String Ensembles, a new nonprofit umbrella group overseeing the youth groups Ursa Major, Ursa Minor and Aurora Strings, will host a concert featuring all three ensembles from 7-8:30 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 28, at Northern Light United Church.
A $5 suggested donation will be collected at the door.
The three groups include about 40 musicians total, ranging in age from 8 to 18. Ursa Major formed about eight years ago. Aurora Strings is in its fifth year, and Ursa Minor is in its third year. The groups are put together by audition. Music teacher Guohua Xia directs all three.
"It became easier to run these all through an umbrella," said board president Jennifer Shapland. "We wanted to set up a nonprofit so we can get grants and accept donations. The idea is to further the love of music and music education and bring in guest instructors and send kids to Fine Arts Camp or down South or up in Anchorage."
The 90-minute concert will showcase each group, as well as combinations of all three. The three groups will also team up for one or two selections.
"The idea is to show people what's going on and advertise that there's this opportunity to study really hard," Shapland said. "Most of the kids who are in these string groups are nuts about music."

The historic City of Bath was inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 1987 and the surrounding areas have been designated as an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. The ground lies at the heart of the city, within easy reach of pubs, restaurants and shops, all of which are crammed full of rugby fans before and after a game.
The first Bath Rugby match was played on the ground in 1894. Three years later, the ground hosted its maiden first-class cricket match, with Somerset County Cricket Club hosting the Gentlemen of Philadelphia as part of the Bath Cricket Festival.
A new lease was granted to Bath F.C. in 1927, allowing them the use of the land on the west side of ground, along with a Grand Stand, a New (North) Stand and a Pavilion, for a term of 25 years. Over the years, this lease was further extended with the most recent extension being in 1995 when Bath F.C. were granted a further 75 year lease.
To date, about a quarter of The Rec is leased to Bath Rugby during the rugby union season as a sports ground capable of holding 12,200 people. During the summer the rugby ground's temporary East Stand is removed to make way for cricket on a larger pitch. This cricket pitch is used for local contests and by the Somerset County Cricket Club for one match a year.
Parts of the eastern area of The Rec are used by Bath Hockey Club, Bath Croquet Club, Bath Drama Club and some tennis courts. Pitches are available for amateur sports such as football, volleyball and lacrosse. There is a cricket pavilion at the William Street entrance to the ground and the council run Sports and Leisure Centre is located on the southern edge of The Rec by North Parade. Click here to find out more about the location of the ground.
The Rec. isn't the biggest rugby ground, nor the most modern, but the views and the surroundings make visiting it as a fan a unique experience. Like most of the UK, Bath has had its share of rain this week, but the forecast for Saturday afternoon is fine, with some sunshine, and a temperature of 14 degrees.
Sale Sharks won 16-13 at The Rec. last December, their first victory there since 2006.
Bath v Sale Sharks kicks off on Saturday at 2.15pm. Keep up with events on @SaleSharksRugby Twitter.
Our trip to Bath is followed by our home fixture again Leicester Tigers on Friday 5th October at 8pm. Tickets are still available for this match through our match ticket page.

RENEE Tiun has always perceived beauty pageants as superficial; that is before she
joined Miss Malaysia Earth 2008.
"Joining this pageant has proved me wrong," said the 22-year-old.
Being the third largest pageant in the world, it is the only one that campaigns
for the preservation of the environment and the protection of Mother Earth.
Tiun, a media student at Multimedia University Malacca, was one of the 16 finalists
present at the New Balance flagship store at The Gardens, Midvalley recently.
New Balance is the official Sportswear sponsor for Miss Malaysia Earth 2008 and
the finalists were there to pick up shoes to be used in the sportswear segment of
the pageant.
The finalists each went away with a pair of New Balance shoes of their choice.
In its 8th year, this year's pageant is organised by MY Production Enterprise and
supported by Natural Resources and Environment Ministry, Tourism Malaysia, Malacca
Government and Tourism Promotion Division Malacca.
Throughout the week leading up to the pageant finals today at the Everly Resort
Hotel Malacca, the finalists got involved in a stream of activities to promote awareness
of environmental issues.
These young ladies, however, are not without their own ambitious plans to change
the world.
Chandrika believes the key step towards a better world is to instil awareness in
the younger generation to preserve the environment.
"If given the chance, I would go around to schools and try to inspire the students
to care for the environment."
"Everyone can play a part, and we can contribute in little ways in saving the environment.
Whatever a human mind can dream, conceive, and believe, it can definitely achieve,"
says the 22-year-old, who is representing Selangor.
This year's winner will be representing Malaysia at the Miss Earth 2008 world finals
in Manila, Philippines in November. Visit www.missearth.tv for details.

Contemporary Romance published by Signet 6 Nov 12
I'm angry with myself for not reading the first book in this series, Baby, It's Cold Outside. I had every intention of sitting down with it, and then one thing led to another, life got busy, and unfortunately it slipped through the cracks. My loss. Addison Fox's writing is fresh and fun, her characters are charming and complex, and that's not just her contemps. I've read a few of her paranormals and I feel the same about those. Missing one of her books just isn't acceptable. She's that good. I'm going to try my best to get caught up on both of her series and then ever miss another one.
So in this story, Mick and Grier have already been together once. Whether that happened in the first book, I have no way of knowing now. If it did, though I don't believe I missed a lot of the feelings, good or bad, that happened between them at the time, it still would be nice to know that and whatever else happened between them when picking up their story. Nothing like shooting yourself in the foot. Mick isn't about to let go when it comes to Grier, despite her doing her best to avoid him. She's doing that only because she'll be leaving in a few short weeks, once her father's will and the problems that have come along with it are settled. So she doesn't want to start something neither one of them can finish. Her life is back in the lower 48 and she's going back to it when the time comes, even though she's not entirely sure that's the best place for her because her ex-fiance, along with the heartache and humiliation he wrought, is still there.
Mick's life, of course, is in Indigo. His entire life has been in Alaska. He's a pilot and co-owner in a charter business that keeps him busy, and life is good. His one night with Grier wasn't enough and he definitely wants more of her. He begins his campaign of making sure she stays in his life, and I have to say, the more the man tries, the move you fall in love with him. And so does Grier. But she'll only go as far as enjoying him in the moment. Therefore, the grandmothers of the three Alaskan-grown men, whom this series is based on, they feel need to settle down return to action to insure Mick and Grier have a happily-ever-after.
And that brings us to the other characters in this series. They're all fun and take care of their own. Even the grandmothers, though their hearts are in the right place, at points express doubts at their "meddling." But the meddling they do isn't as blatant as what I've read in similar stories. They're upfront and honest, something rare when folks do what they're perhaps not supposed to. I really like the friendship between Grier and her BFFs. It's true friendship, and it's like our relationships we have with our girlfriends, fun but honest, always having each other's backs, someone you can talk to about anything.
Then there's Grier's relationship with her half-sister Kate. Things aren't all peaches and cream when Grier first hits town, Kate stonewalling as best she can so Grier doesn't get anything of their father's. It's not until Grier's ex, Jason, pops into Indigo to win her back that Kate begins to look at things a bit differently. I think that's a nice turnaround in more ways than one. We also get a look at Roman and Avery's relationship – or non-relationship, as the case may be – to get ready for the next book. I'm really looking forward to that one. A lot has happened between them already, so making up will be fun but also hurtful and tumultuous, I'm sure.
These characters come to life in the pages of Ms. Fox's books. They live real lives, have real issues and resolve those issues the best they can, though sometimes they make a misstep along the way. Fun is always a part of those lives, especially in the wild, sprawling space of Alaska. This is an inviting, friendly, and romantic series, one you shouldn't miss. Take it from someone who's missed part of it and regrets that big time.
Grade: B+
How do you say no to a man at thirty thousand feet?
When Grier Thompson is called to Indigo, Alaska, to deal with the estate of her estranged late father, the last things she expects to find are a hotly contested will, a hostile half sister who has never known Grier exists, or an entire town that doesn't take kindly to this stranger. Except maybe for Mick O'Shaughnessy.
An Indigo native, Mick has all he wants in life: a soft flannel shirt, a nice cottage, and a thriving airline charter business. Could this simple life get any better? One look at Grier and Mick discovers the answer is a resounding yes. She thinks so too—and if it weren't for her family baggage, maybe she could relax and enjoy herself before it's time to return to real life.
But then an unexpected visitor from Grier's past unsettles the community just when the residents are finally starting to warm to her. By the time Mick comes out of the clouds to realize he's fallen head over heels in love, it might just be too late to win Grier's heart.

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND – The annular eclipse by the moon of the sun, leaving only the famous ring of fire showing around the edges of the moon, was visible in parts of Japan and the US, including California and New Mexico, but bad weather blocked the view of it in some areas, including Vancouver, Canada. NPR reports that it was the first time in 25 years that an annular eclipse has been visible in Japan. Nasa's web site in the US nearly crashed, according to the Los Angeles times, because of the high number of visits.

Implementing Management Systems for Research Reactors
2013-07-03 | Organizations that are operating research reactors face particular challenges in developing, implementing and continuously improving integrated management systems (IMS) due to resource limitations and governance structures.
The global research reactor community includes a number of highly diverse facility designs, organizational structures and technical missions. Some research reactor operating organizations are large and comprise teams of operators, maintenance technicians, safety and radiation control officers, managers, and licensing and other support staff. Other reactors are operated by a relatively small team of around ten or even fewer permanent staff.
At a recent IAEA workshop, experts from 28 IAEA Member States discussed the status of current management systems and future improvement plans, and shared their experience and good practices in implementing IMS in research reactors.
In particular, the meeting focused on the practical aspects of implementing the requirements of the IAEA Safety Standards on 'The Management System for Facilities and Activities' (IAEA GS-R-3) in research reactor operating organizations. GS-R-3 requires that management systems be established, implemented, assessed and continually improved and that all elements of safety, health, environment, security and economics be integrated.
A new IAEA Safety Report (SRS No. 75) on 'Implementation of a Management System for Operating Organizations of Research Reactors' was presented, as a guide for Member States, including practical examples and case studies.
The meeting also focused on key issues and trends in the management of research reactor, a graded approach in the application of management systems requirements, the transition from a quality assurance system to an IMS and the assessment, monitoring and continuous improvement of IMS including the safety culture.
The plenary discussions indicated that there are significant differences in implementing the IAEA Safety Standards GS-R-3. Some research reactor organizations have implemented an IMS, while others have implemented a quality management system (some based on ISO 9001) or a quality assurance system. Improvement in the safety culture is also an area of concern in many organizations.
The participants considered the IAEA missions to be valuable in assisting research reactor organizations improve their management system.
The meeting provided several recommendations to IAEA Member States on good practices in establishing an IMS or transitioning a quality assurance programme to an IMS.
The safety culture could be enhanced by maximizing the level of discipline with regards to safety and compliance to procedures, building safety into all processes to achieve safety assurance rather than only control, and creating and maintaining an organizational culture in which people are engaged and empowered and can become fully involved to achieve the organisation's safety objectives.
The experts also recommended to the IAEA to further enhance the assistance provided to Member States by considering an international conference on the implementation of IMS, and providing training for senior managers to create a better understanding of the needs and benefits of an IMS. They also proposed developing dedicated programmes to assist those countries facing challenges with the implementation of the IAEA Safety Standards GS-R-3.
The IAEA Workshop on Management Systems for Research Reactors was held at the IAEA on 17-21 June 2013. It was organized jointly by the IAEA Department of Nuclear Energy and the IAEA Department of Nuclear Safety and Security under cross-cutting activities on research reactors.

text: This book is the first English version of Prolegomena zu einer kritischen Grammatik, published by Julius Springer, Vienna, 1935, as Volume 10 of the Vienna Circle's series Schriften zur wissenschaftlichen Weltauffassung. The prefatory remarks of both editor and author acknowledge the influence ofWittgenstein in a general way. However, in aim and approach, the work differs from Wittgenstein's Philosophische Grammatik (l969). This is indeed based on material going back to 1932, some of which Schachter must have known. On the other hand, the present Prolegomena not only explains the general, philosophical principles to be followed, but in the light of these proceeds to cover the entire range of conventional grammar, showing where that is uncritical. Whether Wittgenstein in his turn knew of Schachter's work has never been explored. Schachter's object is universal grammar. As is natural, the examples in the original are largely drawn from German grammar, with occasional minor excursions into other languages. For English readers, what matters are the general problems of grammar: there is no point in tying these to the linguistic peculiarities of German, let alone a local variety of it. One who can grasp German at that level might as well read the original. The translation is therefore twofold: the text as a whole has been rendered into English, and the entire apparatus of examples has been replaced, as far as this can be done, by illustrations from English grammar, chosen so as to bring out the same kinds of problem as in the original.

Champaign County Humane Society launches new website
After months of planning, the Champaign County Humane Society has launched its re-vamped website.
The new site comes after the group won a website makeover contest last November. The contest was sponsored by LRS Web Solutions of Springfield.
Humane Society Executive Director Mary Tiefenbrunn said the group is already getting some good feedback on the new site. She said the site is now easier for the public to navigate and find pets that people might want to adopt.
- Hear from Mary Tiefenbrunn.
Tiefenbrunn said the Humane Society's old webpage had to be updated off-site. But this new site can be updated directly from the shelter, which she said is much more convenient.

The Pirate Bay court appeal has been going down in Sweden, with the Pirate Bay founders defending their torrent tracker against a previous verdict which found them guilty of copyright infringement.
The latest Pirate Bay trial news: first day saw a technical rundown of the Pirate Bay as well as background information. Day two focused on money on both sides: making Pirate Bay look like it cost the recording industry in lost sales as well as making them look like a group who was willing to profit off of copyright infringement. Day three was about the financial backing provided by Carl Lundström.
The operators of Pirate Bay were originally sentenced to a year in prison by a Stockholm district court, and the trial verdict ordered them to pay 30 million Swedish kronor ($3.56 million) back to various media and entertainment groups including Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Bros, EMI and Columbia Pictures. The current court proceedings are the appeal of that verdict.
Pirate Bay's legal defense revolved around the theory that because the website did not host any copyrighted material, they were not guilty of breaking any copyright infringement laws.
The Pirate Bay started out small, but eventually grew to millions of users as a major torrent tracker. "The Pirate Bay originally started out in Mexico, on a Mexican server where Anakata, the third guy of The Pirate Bay was working at the time. Anakata hosted the site on a server owned by the company he was working for, but it was soon overloaded since the site grew so rapidly," said Fredrik Neij when speaking about Pirate Bay's origins.
Their legal defense revolved around the theory that because the website did not host any copyrighted material, they were not guilty of breaking any laws. This is a legal precedent used by ISPs, web service providers and email services because they would have a logistical nightmare trying to keep up with the flow of digital goods passing through their hands. It's also part of the DMCA, or Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the U.S.
Although it's extremely unfashionable to say so, it should be noted that the overwhelming majority of goods passing through the hands of ISPs and such are not copyright infringing, where the overwhelming majority of goods floating around through Pirate Bay are copyright infringing. Just a thought.

Response to
and once again
these same people wouldn't have believed in anything till they see it, but then they wouldn't believe that a seed becomes a tree till they see a tree:
and if someone thinks that spiritual reality is so strange, explain that phenomina of a tiny seed becoming a tree?
explain an egg and sperm making a person:
what is so strange about the spiritual that you can't see when there are so many things in nature that you can't see till they appear
nature explains how the SPIRIT DEVELOPS
and guess what, the Bible says the first woman comes from the man
but the last Man comes from the woman
so how does God make the woman?
he takes her out of the old man, which is a beast, a sensual animal soul:
the woman begins with the first soul that is able to RECEIVE spiritual light
hence Jesus is the name of the MAN that is born to the woman (soul) that is able to receive spiritual light, God overshadows this woman with his spirit
till you exprience this within, you haven't experienced anything yet
trust me or not
it is the plan of the creator and his plan is working so far
he made the creature first and the creation is the image of God
MAN however will be in the image and LIKENESS of God, meaning LIKE HIM,
the LAST MAN will be JUST LIKE THE CREATOR in that he will be able to SPEAK the same WORD and make LIFE happen according to the LAW OF NATURE

Hi! If you remember last year, I was running as a joke-candidate. Truth is, I have a megalomaniac tamagotchi (as you all well know, if you followed -vote last year) called Yamm, who made me run in an attempt to seize power. I am afraid he might try the same thing this year... and without Martin running, and Branden still contemplating his nomination... I might even have a chance of winning! Ouch, that would be terrible. You do NOT want to know Yamm's plans. Really. This year, I do not want to be subjected to the torture of being driven into nomination and writing a platform by a HUGE tamagotchi. I only just recovered from the shock... I don't want that once again. Hence this mail, in which I announce my intention to NOT run in this years competition. This is to stop Yamm. So when it wakes up and tries to drive me into nomination, he won't be able, as I already expressed my wish to not run. So, once again, to make it clear: I, Gergely Nagy, in perfect mental health, express my own wish, which was not forced upon me, but is my own, that I do not want to participate in the Debian Project Leader elections in 2005. -- Gergely Nagy

Minneapolis-based online retailer Velvet Moon is popping up at 50th & France for the month of June, in the old Nani Nalu space, which is tucked in the alley between the parking ramp and 50th Street (next to Decori Designs). This is Velvet Moon's first venture beyond the Northeast studio designer Gina Marie Landes opened recently.
Landes studied design in California and New York and then flea marketed her way through Europe before returning to Minnesota to start a clothing line called Gina Marie Vintage. "As a long time thrifitng fanatic…I wanted to create a brand of clothing that was timeless, not trendy," she explains on her website. Landes sells her designs online, along with other U.S.-made brands that match her modern bohemian style.
Stop by today, June 12, for a sip and shop event with wine and 15 percent off all purchases from 3 to 7 p.m. Velvet Moon is open Wednesday through Sunday until the end of June. 3922 W. 50th St., Edina
