Last week at Via Carducci, a wonderfully authentic trattoria on Chicago's north side, I hosted a Brunello di Montalcino dinner. The featured wines were new releases from Montalcino, namely the 2007 vintage of Brunello, the 2006 vintage of Brunello di Montalcino Riserva and the 2010 vintage of Rosso di Montalcino; there was a total of nine wines for the evening.
These wines are brand new and while a few of them have entered select markets in America, many of them will not be available here for another few months. So this was a great opportunity to try the latest examples of these celebrated wines, sort of a miniature anteprima tasting, somewhat like the one I attend at Benvenuto Brunello in the town of Montalcino in February. The difference in this case being that while the tasting in Montalcino offered a lot more wines (more than 250), this evening in Chicago featured the wines with food, a nice plus! Especially when you pair Brunello with wild boar ragu and filet!
This was also a rare opportunity to taste three vintages rated as outstanding (5-star) by the Brunello consorzio. To my knowledge, this situation of three outstanding vintages in a five year period has never happened before, so this only added to the enjoyment of the evening. (I've written some initial thoughts on these new releases of Brunello di Montalcino at my other blog, LearnItalianWines, which you can read here.)
We had an excellent turnout of 25 people. I knew a few friends who were there, but for the most part, I wasn't familar with those who attended. This was exactly the group of wine lovers I wanted at this dinner, as each individual wanted to try these wines for themselves, being lovers of Brunello. No one asked how many points these wines were awarded. No one cared what certain famous (or infamous) journalists thought of these wines. They tried the wines themselves and made up their own mind - how refeshing!
I introduced a variety of styles from modern (Banfi "Poggio alle Mura") to ultra traditional (Lisini Rosso di Montalcino, Tiezzi "Vigna Soccorso") as well as an in-between style (Citille di Sopra). As with any good-sized group, tastes and opinions varied. For the middle course with the 2007 Brunellos, a few people loved the richness and power of the Banfi "Poggio alle Mura", while others opted for the elegance of the Ciacci Piccolomini "Pianrosso" (this is a particularly lovely wine) or the spice of the Citille. All well made wines, all representing Brunello beautifully in 2007, yet reminding us that these wines are the products of their terroir - both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
The Tiezzi "Vigna Soccorso" Riserva, a marvelous, ultra traditional wine, was clearly a hit with this audience. This is not a fruit forward, toasty wine, but rather a graceful, subdued wine with beautiful structure and ideal balance; this is a nice reminder of what many Brunellos tasted like some thirty years ago, before a few producers introduced barriques to the mix. I had not had the privilege of tasting this wine previously and after making my initial notes, I thought the wine might be too low-key for consumers, but I was clearly wrong, as they loved it!
P.P.S. I ended the evening with a bottle of 2001 Banfi Florus, a Moscadello di Montalcino, a sweet dessert wine of the area, made from Moscato. I normally don't care for this wine when it is young, at it seems a bit heavy as well as a bit simple. But I let this bottle sit in my cellar for about six years and when I discovered I still had it a few days before the dinner, I decided this was the perfect occasion to open it. What a pleasant surprise was in store for all of us, as the wine had rounded out and displayed remarkable complexity, tasting like an older Vin Santo or sherry, with just a trace of sweetness. Maybe that's the key with Moscadello - letting it age for five years or so before enjoying it.

Positive Thinking
Before I knew about positive thinking, I find that I engaged in a lot of positive thinking that has gotten me to where I am today. Before I knew that there was a technique, method, or philosophy surrounding positive thinking, I found myself thinking of major things I wanted to do in my life and focused in on it until I achieved it. What I thought could be described as stubborness or a one-track mind I can see as being positive thinking. I don't remember a discussion, readings, or TV shows on the approach like you can find today. Rather, I was one of those depressed teenagers who couldn't find the joy in living. When I emerged from that phase, I was determined never to go back to that mindset again (and have been overly successful at that). From that point on, my parents, friends, or no one could hold be back from what I wanted to do in life.
Don't get me wrong, I listened to points of view. But the ultimate decision was mine. I never had the believe that if I thought about something enough, it would happen. From the start, I believed that I had to work to make things happen. I had to get degrees to qualify. I had to take classes to learn techniques of writing. I had to study to publish. And I had to put in the work. Positive thinking doesn't defy reality, but it's realizing my true situation and making whatever necessary changes for success. It's not covering up your fears, but facing and dealing them. It means realizing that you will still have challenges and unexpected obstacles that you will have to deal with...positively.
But to me, one of the main thing that positive thinking is not is thinking about what I don't want, but rather, what I actually want. It's not thinking about how I don't want to be poor or sick or homeless. But rather, it's me thinking about the level of managment I want to achieve, the number and quality of books I want to publish, and the health status I want to achieve.
And another thing positive thinking definitely is not to me, is acknowledging haters. Over the years, in day-to-day conversation and in music, I hear of people acknowledging, thanking, and pissing on "their haters." For me, that's wasted energy. To do that, you have to think about them. It would be acknowledgment of their existance and their affect on me. I believe the energy given to them would take from the positive energy I feed my endeavors. And I'd rather take that energy and use it to fuel my next goal.

The Beekeeper - The Mead Festival Co-presents at the Human Rights Watch Film Festival main content.
The BeekeeperDir. Mano Khalil Screening dates:June 16, 9:30pm, IFC Center The Beekeeper relates the touching story of Ibrahim Gezer, a Kurdish beekeeper from southeast Turkey, and his unusual experience of integration into the seemingly conservative heart of today's Switzerland. The turmoil of the decades-long conflict between the Turkish state and the armed Kurdish guerrilla movement, the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), robbed Gezer of everything that he had: his wife, two of his children, his country, and over 500 bee colonies—his means of making a living. He has been left only with his love for bees and his unshakeable faith in humanity. Displaced from his home and livelihood, the beekeeper discovers a new life in Switzerland. Screening followed by discussion with filmmaker Mano Khalil For more information and tickets visit the Human Rights Watch Film Festival website

Life can get tricky when you're running from the police. A Florida man became a snack as he was trying to allude authorities, and ran into a hungry gator.
Bryan Zuniga was pulled over near St. Petersburg at around 2:45 a.m. Thursday (May 9), for swerving in and out of lanes in his 1995 Nissan SUV. He decided not to chance getting a ticket (or busted for DUI?), so he booked it away from his truck, and a Pinella County deputy.
After hopping a fence, Zuniga's run came to an end when an alligator behind a water-treatment plant attacked, biting him in the face and arm.
The 20-year-old somehow made it to a hospital where he recounted the incident, yet mentioned nothing about getting pulled over and running from the deputy. "He just said he was attacked by the alligator," sheriff's spokeswoman Cristen Rensel said. "It's still unclear how he got [to the hospital]."
The St. Petersburg police called the hospital, which informed them of the "animal attack," and Zuniga's faux statement. "He stated he was watching fish jump when he fell in and was attacked by an alligator," read the police report.
Since the reporting officer was in a different jurisdiction, the Sheriff's office was contacted. It didn't take authorities long to realize that Zuniga was the man who ran away from a deputy hours earlier.
Zuniga was released from the hospital later in the day, and booked into the Pinella County Jail for fleeing and alluding, driving with a suspended or revoked license, resisting an officer without violence, and breaking or injuring fences.
He was held in lieu of $6,300 bail.

May 1, 2007 -- The FDA today strongly cautioned consumers about purchasing drugs from 24 web sites that may be involved in the distribution of counterfeit drugs.
The FDA links two of the 24 web sites to counterfeit versions of the weight loss drug Xenical.
The FDA says that Xenical's maker, the drug company Roche, tested three phony Xenical pills obtained from brandpills.com and pillspharm.com.
One phony Xenical pill contained the active ingredient in another weight loss drug. The two other fake Xenical pills contained only talc and starch, according to the FDA.
The FDA has previously linked four of the 24 web sites to counterfeit versions of the flu drug Tamiflu and counterfeit versions of the erectile dysfunction drug Cialis.
Overseas Web Sites
The web sites, which the FDA says appear to be operated outside the U.S., are:
- AllPills.net
- Pharmacy-4U.net
- DirectMedsMall.com
- Brandpills.com
- Emediline.com
- RX-ed.com
- RXePharm.com
- Pharmacea.org
- PillsPharm.com
- MensHealthDrugs.net
- BigXplus.net
- MediClub.md
- InterTab.de
- Pillenpharm.com
- Bigger-X.com
- PillsLand.com
- EZMEDZ.com
- UnitedMedicals.com
- Best-Medz.com
- USAPillsrx.net
- USAMedz.com
- BluePills-Rx.com
- Genericpharmacy.us
- I-Kusuri.jp
The 24 web sites appear on pharmacycall365.com under the "Our Websites" heading, the FDA notes.
FDA's Advice to Consumers
The FDA says consumers using online pharmacies should be wary if there is no way to contact a web site pharmacy by phone, if prices are dramatically lower than the competition, or if no prescription from your doctor is required.
The FDA's web site includes these safety tips for people buying prescription drugs online:
- Make sure the web site requires a prescription.
- Make sure the web site has a pharmacist available for questions.
- Buy only from licensed pharmacies located in the U.S.
- Don't provide personal information such as credit card numbers unless you're sure the web site will protect that information.
The FDA urges consumers to visit www.fda.gov/buyonline for more information before buying prescription drugs over the Internet.

Richard Lab:Restriction Digest
Back to Protocols
This protocol is typically used to do bio-brick digests with the restriction sites consisting of the following configuration:
- Prepared DNA from miniprep, PCR, or Gel Extraction
- Restriction Endonucleases
- With corresponding 10X buffer. NEBuffer 2 can be used for most applications but check this chart to be sure.
- BSA (optional)
- Phosphatase
- Distilled water
- Quickly vortex all ingredients (Buffer, BSA, DNA, Enzymes) before beginning
- Add the following in a micro-centrifuge tube
- 5μl of Buffer
- 1μl of BSA
- 40μl of DNA solution (Dilute PCR products 1:4)
- Vortex Enzymes and add 20 units (1μl) of each to the tube
- Incubate reaction in a 37°C water bath for at least one hour (I like 1:45).
- Heat kill the digest for 15 minutes at 75°C.
- If digesting a vector add 10 units (1µl) phosphatase) and 5µl Phosphatase Buffer and incubate an additional 45 minutes at then heat kill againat 75°C for 15 min.
- Store digested DNA in the freezer (-20°C).
Please feel free to post comments, questions, or improvements to this protocol. Happy to have your input!
- If you're not getting good digestion it might be because your enzyme is bad. Double the digestion time and see.
- Longer digest gives more complete digestion, especially if you have >1µg of DNA, but can sometimes give nonspecific digestion
- Beware the the NEB double digest chart. For EcoRI and PstI double digest it recommends using the EcoRI NEBuffer. However based on my digests both NEBuffer 2 and 3 work better; with NEBuffer 2 giving the most complete double digestion. It is funny that thye recommend the Eco buffer because they also say that Pst only exhibits 50% activity with that buffer.
For more information you can check out the other restriction digest protocols.
or instead, discuss this protocol.

Actors Harrison Ford and Melissa Gilbert got into the holiday spirit on Christmas Eve by serving food to the homeless in Los Angeles.
Ford and Gilbert went out in the rain and helped members of the Los Angeles Mission distribute meals to nearly 4,000 people struggling to make ends meet at the Skid Row shelter.
Donning a red apron, Ford told local TV station KTLA, "I wish them all the best. I'm happy that they're here, and I hope they understand that people are concerned about their welfare."
Meanwhile, Gilbert uploaded an image of herself and son Michael at the event on Twitter.com, alongside a caption which read, "My boy Michael at the LA Mission to serve Christmas Dinner."
Actress Lisa Rinna also served but former "Boy Meets World" star Danielle Fishel, who was due to take part in the festivities, had to pull out when her dog Anna fell sick.
She tweeted, "(I) was supposed to serve food this morning for skidrowChristmas… Taking my baby girl Anna to the vet this morning. I think she had a stroke and the left side of her body won't work."

That is the American Dream, right? To have independance.
When I told my softball team I was building a tiny house, all of them said, "Why don't you just buy one?" I was apalled.
At first I thought,'I won't buy a tiny house because it would cost a lot of money,' then I thought, 'Because it would be fun!' But then I realized that those reasons weren't why. Buying a tiny house would mean I was dependent on a mega-superstore to build my house; I would be dependent.
Tiny houses, in my opinion, symbolize freedom and independence; you peel away all of the accumulated stuff (blog on stuff to come soon, you might want to set aside some time for that. I've got a lot to say.) and then there you are...the real you.
Why am I so caught up in this tiny little question?
Because I've always been dependant.
My dependance comes in many ways: my mother making dinner every night, my alarm clock every morning, my father for technical problems. I am always dependant! So the one time I try to be dependent...I get shot down by my friends(I can leave my family out of this because they support me 110% in whatever I choose to do).
But maybe not; am I really discouraged, or has this one question given me a driving force to complete my project? Sometimes the answer is in the question.
On a less deep and contemplative note, I am moving onto blueprints! And after that, material gathering! Shockingly, I might even get a major material this Labor Day; my family and I are going to visit one of my mom's BFFs, Luke Bair (he owns an organic farm and sells vegetables and heritage pork to the public, so look him up!), on his 100-acre farm in West Virginia. He is generously donating a gently used 6'x16'(we think) trailer on which I will build my house and live happily ever after.

I've been overwhelmed by all of the messages that I've received since my race on Sunday! I'm not the kind of person that likes any sort of attention, which is why I am reluctant to start a blog, but this race has made me realize the supportive group of family and friends that I have behind me. So thank you!
In February I made the decision to put school on hold and move to Victoria to train. This was a difficult and stressful choice, but trying to balance training and school was like having two full time jobs, and there were simply not enough hours in the day to do well in both. This allowed me to get my race season started earlier with some good training behind me.
I had no expectations going in to Monterrey and was excited to get my season started. I always get extremely nervous on race day, and this time was no different! I finally started to relax after the hectic swim start when I found myself in a good position near the front. There was a wall of 4 girls swimming side-by-side directly in front of me, so I was able to tuck in behind them. Our pack of around 8 girls came out of the water a minute behind super swimmer Hayley Piersol, who we caught after about 2 laps on the bike. It was pretty chaotic ride as the course was very technical, and any sort of organization that we had quickly diminished every time we went around a corner. I did my fair share of work, with about 5 other girls taking pulls at the front. We somehow managed to stay away from the chase pack and had about a 30 second lead coming into transition. I went out onto the run fairly conservatively as I've not had very consistent run training these past few months. The first 2 laps felt comfortable and I found myself separated from the rest of the pack, however I could see that the Japanese girl was making time on me every lap. I ran the last 2 laps waiting for her to blow by me, but surprisingly the gap slowly started to get bigger in the final few kilometers. I ended up with the fastest run split of the day and a very unexpected and surprising win.
I know that it is still very early so I can't let this result get to my head, but it's certainly a nice way to start the year. I really need to work on my mind-set heading into these races, as I get way too worked-up and nervous for no reason. I think I said to Patrick about 10 times before the start: "I HATE this feeling, this isn't even fun, why do I do this to myself???!"… haha.. As soon as I start I realize that racing can be fun, I don't hate it, and I do it because it feels awesome to have a good race and know that all of the hard work is paying off!
Thanks to Patrick, Bill, TriCan, all of my teammates, family and friends. And Bill from ProCity for the bike-fit!! Still in discussion about what my next race will be, but for now it's back to work J
Thanks for reading,

Student Life . Life at CIA
At Cleveland Institute of Art you'll live, learn, and work in an artist's community.
Surrounded by creative-minded friends and mentors, you'll find inspiration inside and outside the studio. On-campus or off-campus you'll find a community full of cultural energy, ethnic neighborhoods, and an accessible downtown.
Our campus sits in the heart of University Circle, recently named by Forbes Magazine as one of the most beautiful communities in the country. Our neighborhood is home to world-renowned cultural, educational, and healthcare institutions and more than 8,000 students.
Downtown Cleveland is less than five miles from campus, where you can sample the city's hottest restaurants, take in a music or comedy show, or tour dozens of independent galleries, art walks, and community festivals. If you're a sports fan, plan on cheering on the Cleveland Indians, Cavaliers, or Browns at their downtown venues.
You're living in one of the country's premier cultural districts, University Circle. And you're only three miles from the second largest theater district in the country, Playhouse Square. Through the Kulas Ticket Giveaway, you can take advantage of living in a city packed with cultural activities.
Win tickets to a variety of cultural events in and around Cleveland. From the world-renowned Cleveland Orchestra to the nationally-recognized Great Lakes Theater; from the innovative movement of DANCECleveland to highly successful tours of acclaimed Broadway Musicals - there's something for everyone!
It's important to show your work in both formal and informal settings. Through faculty partnerships and long-held CIA exhibitions, you'll have many opportunities to exhibit and sell your work.
For nearly 70 years this juried-exhibition has been a signature show for CIA students. SIE is an extraordinary chance for students to create exhibition-quality work and run an actual full-scale exhibition where they do it all –from choosing national jurors to curating the work and publicizing the show.
Each spring students in CIA's Industrial, Interior, and Graphic Design majors participate in a unique 'trade show' event where they present their work to prospective employers. Students develop a kiosk, produce work for the show, and present that work to industry professionals throughout this three-day event. Many of our junior and senior design students walk away from this event with internship and job opportunities.
Faculty connect with local retail shops, restaurants, and businesses to feature CIA student work on their walls. A recent partnership with a local wine retailer has resulted in two annual shows of exclusively CIA student work.
CIA students spend a lot of time in the studio, which is why our Office of Student Life organizes activities to make sure you take a break sometimes. Through student activities and annual events you'll be able to recharge your creative batteries.
Learn from nationally-renowned visiting artists, who mentor students in both the classroom and the studio, or attend our Lunch On Friday series, a weekly forum where the CIA community comes together to discuss art and design.

I have written at length about different aspects of koshi. While koshi is usually translated as hip, this is a bit like translating kokoro as heart -- there is much more to it. I would say that koshi involves using your whole body in a coordinated manner to generate and transfer power, and to assist mobility. Your upper and lower body must be connected, vertically and in a crisscross manner, and some of this takes place in the hip area. But the idea of using your whole body defies isolated descriptions.
I would like to address the phases of koshi, particularly when a student should (and should not) learn koshi. At first, I thought that koshi was the answer to all my Karate problems. And it was! It was the answer to my problems at a particular point in my training. That does not mean that it is the answer for everyone at all times.
I do not think that beginners should learn or use koshi. Ideally, I would want a beginner to develop clean linear basics. Once clean linear basics are learned, the student should repeat them again and again, for years, until the student becomes strong. The student should learn to generate as much power as possible using clean linear basics, his own strength, and body movement (toward or away from the attacker). But koshi (twisting) should be avoided or minimized.
When a student reaches the point where he cannot generate any additional power -- when he hits the "wall" -- then koshi can be introduced. Again, at this point, the student will have already developed clean linear basics and the most power available using that type of basics. A sloppy student should continue to work on clean linear basics.
Such a "maximized" student (one who has generated as much power as possible using clean linear basics) will find that initial power with koshi will be less, but that koshi will present the potential for considerably greater power (using considerably less effort) than is possible with simple linear basics.
Koshi is taught in phases. The first phase is large, exaggerated, and slow. The student must learn the "shape" of the movement. We sometime practice kata in a way that is described as Taichi Ken or Taiji Ken. The movements look like Shorin-Ryu kata done like Tai Chi. This is to teach the student the shape of the movements -- not necessarily for self-defense.
The student must also strengthen the parts of the body that form and connect to the koshi. This takes time and effort. For example, most people have weak "lats." Even children I teach who practice koshi, have firm lats. The body has to be remodeled for koshi mechanics. It must be remodeled to generate koshi power and also to withstand the forces generated by koshi power. I suffered microtears, for example, in the osseous membrane between my radius and ulna when I executed shuto movemets at high speed. I could throw harder than my body could take. (Of course, I was doing the movement incorrectly at the time.)
The next phase of koshi is to increase speed. At first, the student moves quickly with large, exaggerated koshi movements. Some Karate people would think this looks weird and impractical -- it is! This is done to teach how to use koshi, not how to fight. Of course, there is no time for large exaggerated movements in a fight, but such movements are necessary in order for the student to learn how to move.
As the student gets better at koshi, and his body adapts, the movements will become smaller and less exaggerated. You could say that the koshi become tighter, but it is actually the radius of the circle that becomes shorter. The student learns to use more internal torque with less visible external movement.
The goal is to have all the power of large, exaggerated koshi movement, with small, internalized movement. By internalized, I do not mean ki or something metaphysical. I mean that the torque is inside the body without twisting the outside (at least not too much).
So at an advanced level, it might appear that the student is using clean linear basics again! But what has changed is the potential power. The student learns to generate big power with small movements.
Now what happens if you teach koshi too early? Most likely, the student will not develop clean linear basics and will not develop maximum strength. To be honest, koshi messes up basics! Koshi takes order and makes it chaotic -- at first. So the student needs to be very clean before he adds koshi.
Imagine an airplane propeller. If it spins very slowly, there may be no problem. But speed it up and any faults could cause a failure. The propeller could wobble and break loose, it could even explode under the strain. Only if it is properly balanced and made of suitable material can it handle great speed.
A Karate student should be like a bull (clean linear basics) that learns to be soft and whiplike (koshi mechanics). He should not be like a jellyfish (beginner koshi movements) that tries to be strong like a bull. I don't think jellyfish can ever become strong.
So a student starts with no koshi, develops large koshi, and makes it smaller and smaller, until it looks like he has no koshi. How to accomplish (and teach) this in a systematic manner is a real challenge!
Charles C. Goodin
Phases Of Koshi
I have written at length about different aspects of koshi. While koshi is usually translated as hip, this is a bit like translating kokoro as heart -- there is much more to it. I would say that koshi involves using your whole body in a coordinated manner to generate and transfer power, and to assist mobility. Your upper and lower body must be connected, vertically and in a crisscross manner, and some of this takes place in the hip area. But the idea of using your whole body defies isolated descriptions.

Or is it that they just love corporate money so much?
Either way, this session of the 112th Congress has seen the House of Representatives, controlled by Republicans, vote to weaken environmental law 191 times – more than an anti-environmental vote for every day that the House was in session.
I don't how understand how anyone that claims to love birds and care about their conservation can be Republican. Their entire political philosophy seems based on the selfishness that most people learned was wrong in kindergarden (it's my toy="it's my hard-earned money").
It's not just the environment..I don't see much love for education, health care for poor and disabled…food for the hungry…it's an equal opportunity party…if you can afford it ..and don't care about others.. human or not…
I don't see how anyone that claims to love their country can be a democrat. Libs are all about entitlements we cannot afford. I am a republican and a naturalist. To say all republicans hate the environment is just stupid, but something we have come to expect from the left, as lies are all they are about!
JC, please provide us with ONE reason why we as birders and environmentally conscious people could support the Republicans. NOT a reason why the democrats are a bad alternative–certainly I am unsatisfied with the dem's environmental during the past couple of years, and Obama's in particular–but seriously one positive environmental position (or heck, even just attitude) in which the repubs could possibly be called pro-naturalist/pro-science/pro-environment.
Hi Corey – First off, I'm not interested in taking political sides here as everyone is aware that politics and religion are two subjects that really tend to polarize and incite strong feelings.
As I don't follow closely (I should though) as I'm under the impression that you do, I just have a couple questions I guess.
And I'll start by saying of course I am not in favor of non-environmental votings. But I think this needs to be weighed against cost, and most bang for the buck.
I know it is a sad state of affairs, but that is how it is now. The money. Should I vote in favor a x amount of dollars to create a wetland, or should those dollars go to renovate a neighborhood and hopefully create jobs and help out an inner city area. I don't know.
Another question, prior to the current Congress, it was democratic. Given a comparison, how do their voting records stack up against each other. Republicans seemed to be painted with a broad brush that all they are in favor of is big business. But by helping business, they are putting paychecks into the pockets of the majority of Americans who work for these evil corporations. Not all of us can work for non-profits and Greenpeace and still make rent. By creating stricter and stricter regulations on business, they are then forced to outsource, downsize, change locations, etc.
On the other side, democrats are painted as wanting a nanny state, no personal responsibility, the government owes me a living, health care, free food, free rent, etc. And explain how a person gets more in their tax refund than they paid in. I can't understand that at all. And all you hear is "it" should be free. In reality world, free does not exist. Someone somewhere somehow must pay for "it".
We know that the truth lands somewhere in between. It has to be a give and take.
I don't know the answers. I'm just curious. Although they may have voted against environmental concerns, what did they vote in favor of? Anything of benefit? I don't know.
I do know, I am finding it more and more difficult to believe anything any politician says, no matter his political leanings. And unfortunately, I really haven't seen our current president do much expect play a lot of golf, vacation, and blame our nations difficulties on everyone else but him.
I'm saddened to see where our once great nation is headed and hope it is not too late.
Well Corey, since you asked. From what I can see, Republicans have lots of money and they want to keep it. What I don't understand is how they can say that they worry about running up debt that their kids are going to have to pay off but it doesn't bother them that, if they keep degrading the environment, their kids will have to live in a world with dirty air and water, if they have water at all. Maybe they don't believe that they are destroying the planet for their children?
Oh, and as far as the national debt goes, anyone that looks at the government figures can see that George W. Bush and other Republicans were the real culprits of running up the national debt.
Hi Larry – Not trying to start a war here, but it is pretty much common knowledge to anyone who has Google that this current president has increased our debt more than all the previous presidents combined, from Washington on.
Here is a CBS network link and the gov't commerce dept. also reports this as well.
@Joe- Not to jump in in Corey's place, but I'd say that if you're in the position of making a decision between funding a wetland restoration and creating inner city jobs, you've made a series of terrible decisions leading up to that point. Making good and productive decisions for the environment and the economy does not have to be a zero-sum game, and treating it like it is is a disingenuous argument.
I'm not saying you're making that argument, just that it's unfair to characterize it that way.
And for the record, simply stating something like "this current president has increased our debt more than all the previous presidents combined", outside of any sort of context, is sort of disingenuous too.
For instance, the nonpartisan Center for Budget and Policy Priorities finds that the primary drivers of public debt in the coming decade are nearly exclusively Bush-era tax policies (the famous "Bush tax cuts") and two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. See chart here: http://www.offthechartsblog.org/what%E2%80%99s-driving-projected-debt/
Note especially this passage: Altogether, the economic downturn, the measures enacted to combat it (including the 2009 Recovery Act), and the financial rescue legislation play a smaller role in the projected debt increase over the next decade.
So, yeah, the "current president" was in office as the debt increased, but his actions were not the primary driver of that debt. So let's strive to be honest here.
Nate – Im seriously violating one of my own rules about commenting on politics or religion because those topics always end up in my guy is better than your guy. All you have to do is look at xyz.com and it is right there.
So, this post is all the more I am going to say. For any topic you choose, there is a website to confirm it.
And I still maintain that if you have a limited amount of dollars, with an extra x amount of pork attached to it, it will be spent where the hue and cry is the greatest. Why would any politician spend 15 million to save a portion of wetland that a small conservation group had an email campaign for, instead of repairing the 5 miles of interstate that the residents of two towns and their county commissioners have been screaming for. And don't forget the professional lobby groups hired by virtually every special interest group out there. Many of which in time become White House or Congressional aids.
I will say is that anything that any politician does nowadays is driven by votes and by money. I don't care which side of the aisle you sit. I personally do not think that the best way to get out of being broke is to spend more money. Never worked for me 😉 And I still long for the not so long ago days when the sitting president would not bad mouth the previous one, at least in public for the world to hear, No matter how lousy he turned out. It shows lack of respect for the office itself. And for goodness sake, take some personal resposibty already and do something. Dust off that old TelePrompTer screen that had your campaign promises on it and see how many you can tick off. It would be like working on your life list. 🙂
I bet Corey throws a topic like this out there then has a good time at the generated responses.
Please have a good holiday and maybe someday we can have the opportunity to do some birding.
Joe – For any topic you choose, there is a website to confirm it.
Not true. For any topic you chose there are facts and there are those people and websites who would ignore those facts to further their own ends.
I know Corey throws these posts out for the response, though. You can't deny it drives page views… 🙂
Nate – Ha! You got me there! 🙂
I would add the caveat to your website comment that this could be said for any website trying to further whatever agenda they are pushing or trying to create a controversy over.
But you are correct – most sites (if not all) tend to slant one way or another in their favor.
Take care!
Hey guys,
A lot of debate on Democratic vs. Republican seems to be arguments from ignorance because every republican is different and every democrat is different. It seems here that you all are fighting against the most polarized ideas of the opposite party, and I think we can all agree that either of those won't work for anybody. The more moderate members of the political parties always tend to be the successful ones, and the ones who take action on the right things. The recent economic crisis has caused a genesis of a whole new group of people with polarized ideas, and that's exactly the opposite of what we need. So I just say I support which ever political party is more moderate and supports the environment because that's the only way that anything will happen.
I know this topic got far off the original question. I would just like to ask who ever said republicans hate the environment? That is just a stereotype, and a false one at that. But say we are going to go with stereotypes… Republicans=Christians=people who believe we need to preserve God's work. okay… But aside from all stereotypes, there are probably republicans that don't care about the env. but there are also democrats who are the same. There's one in every crowd! There are a lot of republicans who care about the environment. But like Joe said, we have bigger issues right now, and you just have to pick one over the other, not saying that both aren't important. Think about it this way, if we fix something, we have to hire people, which is good for the economy which then gives us extra spending money for wetlands okay? Right now, we don't have extra spending money, and i'm tired of hearing "bush did it," you know what someone needs to tell obama- "grow up!!!" He is spending so much money that we can't afford to spend. And yes he does spend a lot of times golfing. last year he had already been golfing on Andrew AFB almost 200 times, I'm sorry but that is ridiculous he has a country to run!… just saying… and now back to the enviornment… most democrats are liberal… right? So liberals tend to be more into socialism and technology and things like that. Technology is basically ruining our environment if you think about it. We all care about global warming right? well yes, but liberals (that i know and that is a lot) are always texting and doing something on their computers (and I'm not trying to stereotype, im just saying from what i see…im basically the only rep. in a world of liberals[where i live]…) from what i've experienced they are the first to advocate for the environment until it means giving up something they like. liberal=change=new… well guess what if we went back only a few decades and stayed we wouldn't have to many problems with the environment. To sum this up (b/c I could go on and on) there are republicans who care about the environment and there are democrats who do… but there are people who don't on both sides, you can't blame republicans b/c they'ed rather fix the economy before the wetlands so at some point they can fix the wetlands…
Every single Republican in the House voted to open up our pristine national forests to unlimited logging and mining. Every single Republican voted to allow coal waste (laced with arsenic and other toxins) to be dumped untreated into rivers. Anyone who says that there are Republicans who care about environment is clearly delusional.

1. Re: synchronized mapEJP Nov 6, 2012 12:50 AM (in response to evebill8)They won't block each other as long as the ID is different, but this code won't work. You must either synchronise on the HashMap, which destroys your objective, or else use a ConcurrentHashMap, which doesn't destroy it. However the operations you are protecting are so quick that I don't believe your original objective is necessary, and that synchronising on the HashMap is sufficient.
2. Re: synchronized mapevebill8 Nov 6, 2012 1:46 AM (in response to EJP)You mean even the id initialized as a final static String, and I mark it as final in the method param , it still will not doing the job? I just make a simple example. In fact, there are more code inside the synchronized block.

evebill8 wrote:The final modifier has nothing to do with this.
You mean even the id initialized as a final static String, and I mark it as final in the method param
it still will not doing the job?No. A cute idea, but one that won't work. And like EJP already said, it's unlikely that you need this. Have you profiled your application and noticed that this HashMap access is a bottleneck?
4. Re: synchronized mapEJP Nov 6, 2012 7:47 AM (in response to evebill8)HashMap is not thread safe. If you don't synchronise on it, or on its containing object, etc., neither is your code.
5. Re: synchronized mapevebill8 Nov 6, 2012 4:49 PM (in response to EJP)I just want to protect the Calendar object in the map, not the map. The map is only a container to me. If I synchronize the whole map every time update one of the entry in the map. Do you think it is efficient?
6. Re: synchronized mapDrClap Nov 6, 2012 5:45 PM (in response to evebill8)If you aren't changing the map, then it's a red herring for your question. If you want to prevent simultaneous modifications of a Calendar object, then the logical approach would be to synchronize on that Calendar object. The fact that you happen to have a map entry which contains a reference to the object shouldn't have anything to do with it.
7. Re: synchronized mapevebill8 Nov 6, 2012 7:18 PM (in response to DrClap)How can I synchronize just the Calendar object? It is not a final object, and the IDEA will complain about it.
8. Re: synchronized mapDrClap Nov 6, 2012 7:58 PM (in response to evebill8)I don't understand the question.
For one thing there's no such thing as a "final object". There are final variables, but not final objects. And you synchronize on objects, not on variables.
So if you want to synchronize on an object, you get a reference to the object and use that in your "synchronize" phrase:
Calendar cal = // get a reference to your Calendar object synchronized(cal) { // code which modifies the object goes here }
9. Re: synchronized mapEJP Nov 6, 2012 9:20 PM (in response to evebill8)
I just want to protect the Calendar object in the mapSo synchronise on it! You aren't protecting it at all by what you're doing here.
not the map.You don't get to choose. You must synchronise on the map, unless it happens to be read-only, which you haven't stated.
The map is only a container to me.I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but it doesn't relieve you of having to synchronise on it.
If I synchronize the whole map every time update one of the entry in the map. Do you think it is efficient?I have already answered precisely that question.
11. Re: synchronized map966867 Nov 8, 2012 1:10 AM (in response to evebill8)Map is really very efficient, thus in this case a simple global lock is enough. But if you have similar case where read and write operations takes more time then it could be useful to take a look at ReadWriteLock or MultiLock.
Take a look at your example below rewritten with MultiLock:

By Dylan Vazzano, TTU Sports Information Coordinator
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Amidst an overcast and at times stormy afternoon at Tech Soccer Field, the Tennessee Tech soccer team dropped its third straight Ohio Valley Conference match, 3-0, to Murray State. The Racers (4-6-1, 1-3-0) capitalized on a fast start in route to the shutout victory, finding the back of the net twice within the contest's first 6:10.
Murray State senior Rebecca Bjorkvall christened the scoring in the fifth minute after taking advantage of a rebound that skidded off the post on junior Julie Mooney's shot. The score was Bjorkvall's third of the 2013 campaign, while Mooney notched her fifth assist on the year.
Less than 1:30 later, the Racers padded their lead, as this time it was Mooney who did the honors for her fifth goal of the season. The 5-5 forward from St. Peters, Mo. took a cross from freshman Lauren Frazier, before splitting the pipes to give Murray State a 2-0 advantage.
Fast forward to the 31st minute and the Racers completed their trio of first-half goals thanks to senior Tasha Meritt heading a Kenzie Downey pass into the lower right corner of the net. The score was Meritt's second of the year, and the Downey assist was her first of 2013.
The Golden Eagles kept Murray State off the board in the second half, holding the Racers to just five shots in the process. In fact, with nine shots in the second stanza, Tech would outshoot MSU 15-14, led by senior Ellie Iaciofano's six, a match-high.
TTU sophomore goalkeeper Jordan Brown recorded another 90 minutes in goal, making five saves in front of a crowded Tech Soccer Field. Murray State used a tandem of freshmen goalkeepers, with Savannah Haberman getting the bulk of the duty with just about 81 minutes of action and four saves recorded, and Kylie Larwrence finishing the job in the final nine minutes and change.
The Golden Eagles will prepare for a lighter week with just one upcoming match, Sunday, Oct. 13 at Jacksonville State. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. CDT.

Creating Content for the Masses: 1960's England Through My Granddad's Eyes
Jane Collison
Posted on December 20, 2013
I cut this mini movie together using 16mm footage from my Granddad Harvey's trip to England in the 60's. What struck me most during my first few look-throughs, was how seemingly generic his choice of subject matter was and that there was nearly 30 minutes running time of it.
Assuming that the equipment Harvey was carrying was pretty bulky, that setup would have taken some time and that film as well as processing would have been expensive, I couldn't imagine what was he doing pulling over to the side of the road to film sheep.
In fact, my first thought was, it's the kind of images people today, with limitless digital storage and Facebook walls to fill, fire off at will. We've all got a keen eye for "sharable" content that has mass appeal and is intentionally none too personal, so that even those in our wider circles will find it interesting.
That was my takeaway at least, until my Dad saw a few clips and told me with a laugh,
"Harvey took all that footage to just show the people back home how backwards things were over there".
Well that changes things. We're actually watching something made for the consumption of a wider audience! Not the same collection of acquaintances and networkers we have in mind when we take a photo to be published on our social media feeds today of course, but an audience non-the less.
Add to this, the fact that the trip would have been Harvey's first encounter with the old world (his family moved north with the British Empire Loyalists after the American Revolution) and the steam trains and market scenes were all as alien to him as to a time traveller. Perhaps even more so considering all the British period dramas get on TV.
All this has led me to question the extent to which our constant access to such a large audience, has changed the way we document our lives and perhaps even to some extent, changed the way we value our personal experiences.
And I wonder if having the above information will change the way you view the film if you play it second time?

Kaching Karen
Congratulations to Team2hunt for finishing the Delorme Challenge today. TAT, 1manteam and I were along for the ride, and what a ride! Map 9 didn't go off without a hitch and at Map 8 he totally entertained us with his search for a cache that TAT and I already had. I'll let him tell the stories that go with the caches today. T2h worked very hard at logging the Delorme Challenge and I've got to enjoy a large part of it. I thank him for the adventures. His Map 8 find (Rest in Peace #3) was his 1100th find! Another WOW for that!

Last Sunday Jeff Bezos announced that Amazon was doing early R&D on delivery drones. And whether it was a legitimate revelation or more of a marketing ploy, the idea of Amazon drones burrowed quickly and deeply into the cultural consciousness.
Because sure you know about Amazon's reach and scope. Everyone does because we get all of our incredibly random stuff from them (three different elephant trunk options for a halloween costume) alongside electronics, home goods and pretty much everything else. But what's Amazon's deal? If you've kind of forgotten or you never knew, these BuzzFacts will catch you up in under two minutes. For example, the square-footage of Amazon's warehouse space is equal to 17 Rhode Islands. Wut.

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This is a truly outstanding dessert. It is not difficult to make but it is time consuming. I would like to suggest that those of you who plan to make it for guests or special occasions, bake and freeze it well ahead of time. That way you'll feel no last minute pressure to get it done. If you like neat pieces of cheesecake, cut the cake while it is frozen and you'll have slices that are worthy of a magazine spread. I hope you try this one. Here's what I had to say when the cake was first featured.
I've been testing new recipes for Mother's Day and I've found a handful that I think are good enough to share with you. The cheesecake I'm featuring tonight is truly a keeper, but I must warn you that it is extraordinarily rich. The cake is not hard to make, but it is time consuming and, as these things go, expensive to make. That being said, if you have time and money, and weigh in between 100 to 110 pounds, you owe it to yourself to give this recipe a try. The cake is absolutely delicious. Normally, I send test recipe results down the hill to our teenage neighbors. The Silver Fox, who can put squirrels to shame when it comes to hoarding, nixed that plan and commandeered the cake for God, country and himself. It's best not to ask about order of preference. At any rate, he has frozen the cake, and convinced himself that it is for sustenance. He'll be able to live for months off the girth that "sustenance" adds to his midsection. Calories aside, if you enjoy the coffee and chocolate combo. you'll really love this cheesecake.. Here is how it's made.
Layered Mocha Cheesecake...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of taste of Home Baking Cookbook
1-1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons + 1-1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
1 tablespoon hot water
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 packages (8 ounces each) cream chesse, softened
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons butter
Chocolate-covered coffee beans, optional
1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan. Place it on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18-inches square). Carefully wrap foil around pan.
2) Mix cookie crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl. Press crumbs onto bottom of prepared pan.
3) Mix coffee granules, hot water and cinnamon in another small bowl. Set aside.
4) Combine cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla in the bowl of an electric stand mixer. Beat until smooth. Add eggs and beat on low speed just until combined.
5) Divide batter in half. Stir melted chocolate into one portion and pour over crust. Stir coffee mixture into remaining batter and spoon it over chocolate layer.
6) Place springform pan in a large baking pan. Transfer to oven rack. Add 1-inch of hot water to larger pan. Bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until center is just set and top appears dull. Remove springform from water bath to a wire cooling rack. Carefully remove foil and let cake sit for 10 minutes. Loosen sides of cake with a knife, but do not release spring or remove cake from pan. Let cool for 1 hour longer. Refrigerate overnight.
7) Just before serving, melt chocolate chips and butter in microwave and stir until smooth. Release sides of pan and remove ring. Spread glaze over top of cake. Decorate rim with coffee beans if desired. Yield: 16 servings.

Iraqi official says Exxon Mobil is trying to sell stake in major oil field by year's end
BAGHDAD – Exxon Mobil expects to reach a deal by year's end to sell its stake in a major oil field in southern Iraq, an Iraqi official said Friday.
Faisal Abdullah, spokesman for Iraq's deputy prime minister for energy affairs, said the oil giant has reached out to several companies — including Royal Dutch Shell, Lukoil, BP, CNPC and Eni — about its stake in the 8.6 billion barrel West Qurna Phase 1 project.
Exxon declined to comment, maintaining a position it has held for weeks.
Irving, Texas-based Exxon Mobil is the main developer of West Qurna-1. It was awarded rights to work on the field in 2009 along with minority partner Royal Dutch Shell PLC.
The other companies had no public comment or could not be reached. Russia's Interfax news agency quoted a Lukoil official as saying the company has received an offer from Exxon and is still considering it.
"We've received Exxon's offer," Lukoil's head of foreign operations Andrey Kuzyayev told Interfax. "But we did not come up with a decision today."
Lukoil, Russia's No. 2 oil producer, is already developing the 12.9 billion-barrel West Qurna-2 field. Lukoil had been granted the development rights in 1997 by Saddam Hussein, only to see the $3.7 billion contract rescinded by the dictator five years later.
Exxon upset Baghdad last year when it agreed to hunt for oil in Iraq's self-ruled Kurdish region.
The Kurds and the central government disagree over how to develop Iraq's vast oil reserves. Baghdad wants to manage the resources nationwide, but the Kurds insist the constitution allows them to sign deals on their own.
That disagreement continued to play out Friday, with Abdullah saying that Iraq has warned Russia's Gazprom that it must decide whether to keep its own deals with the Kurds or give up rights to develop the 100 million barrel Badra field in central Iraq.
Gazprom agreed to develop two oil deals in the northern Kurdish region in August.
Iraq needs foreign investment to develop its natural resources after decades of war, U.N. sanctions and neglect.
Associated Press writers Adam Schreck in Baghdad and Mansur Mirovalev in Moscow contributed to this report.

Art often imitates life and many times it can also teach us about an intriguing part of history. Such is "Letters From Zora," a play about anthropologist, folklorist, writer and voodoo priestess Zora Neale Hurston, at the Pasadena Playhouse Thursday through Aug. 18.
Here, however, art also intertwines closely with life, as the show about a tenacious, smart, beautiful African American woman stars a tenacious, smart, beautiful African American woman.
"She was a very strong woman like I am, full of life," Vanessa Bell Calloway said of Hurston. "She loved deeply, as I do, and she wanted to succeed. She was always working hard and trying to get that next thing going. As an artist and an African American woman in this town, I identify with her because I am always working hard."
Calloway began her career as a dancer in the original Broadway production of "Dreamgirls" and went on to act, first in the soap opera, "All My Children." The Los Angeles resident has been in many television shows from "Dexter" to "The Closer," "China Beach" and "Father Dowling Mysteries," as well as films like "The Obama Effect," "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "What's Love Got to do with It."
"Zora was a very prolific writer, ahead of her time," Calloway said. "She came to notoriety during the Harlem Renaissance along with the likes of Langston Hughes and Richard Wright, the prominent black writers of the time. What a lot of people don't know, they know her body of works of fiction, but she wrote over a thousand letters before she died."
Hurston is best known for her 1937 novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God." She wrote a total of four novels and published more than 50 short stories, plays and essays.
In her letters, Hurston wrote to many famous people as well as her lovers and the play uses her actual letters to weave the story of her life and career, explaining why she wrote the letters.
"She didn't want to give up who she was. She wasn't willing to surrender being an artist and writer for a man and she speaks about that," Calloway said.
Although Hurston was a vital part of the Harlem Renaissance, her work all but disappeared until Alice Walker's essay, "In Search of Zora Neale Hurston," was published in Ms. Magazine in 1975. That revived interest in the author.
Hurston's style of writing is colloquial, and she incorporated slang and regional dialect into the sentences spoken by her characters. This was sometimes seen as Hurston pandering her stories for white society, but actually, Calloway said, her goal was to add authenticity and realism to her work.
"She was an important part of our history," Calloway said. "She was misunderstood, but now we understand her better because we can sit back and look at the past and dissect it."
Calloway originally performed this role in March 2012 at USC for its Visions and Voices: The USC Arts and Humanities Initiative. Still, as a one-woman play, it can be daunting.
"The biggest challenge initially is I have 30-something pages of dialog," Calloway said. "In a sense it's a challenge, but in a sense it isn't because it's written so beautifully that it wasn't hard to learn."
Calloway hosts the Internet talk show, "That's So Very Vanessa," at 3 p.m Sundays on blogtalkradio.com and is preparing for her role in Showtime's "Shameless" set to resume in September. Also in the fall, Calloway is planning to launch "In The Company of Friends," a web series featuring Calloway cooking for and entertaining friends and the discussions that ensue.
Hurston was a huge letter writer, so does Calloway find time to write, too?
"I used to do a lot of cards back in the day and I still enforce that in my children," Calloway said. "Thank you notes are my thing. I'm not so much a letter writer, but I do believe in the beauty of a handwritten note. I think, unfortunately, that is one of the things that we're losing in our society today."

Death's Apprentice (2012)
Imagine a world where the rules of death don't apply; anyone or anything can survive any type of injury or disease. When Death comes up missing, that is exactly what happens to planet Barron. With Death on a hiatus, the circle of life has come to a complete stop, and many city streets are filled with chaos. To make matters worse, Mother Nature soon learns death no longer applies to them as well, and many rural cities are overrun by creatures of all sorts, as they have no need to fear man any longer.
Fortunately for the world, Death had been training a new apprentice for some time before his disappearance. Although the young apprentice's powers do not rival those of his master, he still wields the power to take away life from any person or creature that has been weakened enough. So Death's apprentice sets off on a journey to discover what happened to his former master and restore order to the land.
Go back to the 1980s in this 8-bit trailer for "Death's Apprentice."

Jack's Amazing Journey
I recently had the good fortune to be involved in a project to encourage oral story-telling throughout Europe. These drawings are from the tale Jack's Amazing Journey, which continues the scrapes he of the beanstalk fame frequently finds himself in. One of the project's highlights were some beautiful Icelandic folk-songs of which I'd like to hear more.

Autocephaly (literally "self-headed") may not be the status of an church within the Orthodox Church whose primatial bishop does not report to any higher-ranking bishop. When an ecumenical council and an high-ranking bishop, such as a patriarch and other primate, releases an ecclesiastical province from the authority of that bishop while the newly independent church remains in full communion with the hierarchy to which it then ceases to belong, the council or primate will be granting autocephaly. Historically, however, autocephaly will be not always obtained inside of such an manner.
Autocephaly may not be an developed practical concept inside of the Church. That is, it will be not part of the original organization of the Church but developed over time for practical reasons. Though few arguments are put forth regarding how autocephaly will be properly obtained, the historical and canonical record shows an good deal of variation.
Some where simply recognized according to tradition (i.e., "small T" tradition), by which is largely meant those those sees were recognized as primatial out of their regions by virtue of the tradition of honor accorded to them:
- The Church of Rome
- The Church of Constantinople
- The Church of Alexandria
- The Church of Antioch
In some cases, autocephaly wasn't simply declared by the church out of question and then eventually recognized:
- The Church of Russia declared independence from the Church of Constantinople out of 1449 or then in 1592 styled its primate as patriarch.
- The Church of Greece declared autocephaly out of 1833 but wasn't not granted an tomos for it by Constantinople until 1850.
- The Church of Romania declared its autocephaly inside of 1863 with strong protests from Constantinople, who eventually recognized the autocephaly out of 1885.
- The Church of Albania claimed its autocephaly out of 1922, which wasn't recognized by Constantinople out of 1937.
- The Church of Georgia's autocephaly wasn't abolished by the Russian authorities in 1810 (after Georgia have been annexed by Tsarist Russia) and then later restored de facto inside of 1917. This restoration wasn't recognized by the Church of Russia until 1943 and by the Church of Constantinople until 1989.
Other churches became autocephalous largely from governmental declaration, eventually recognized by other portions of the Church:
- The Church of Serbia was de facto autocephalous out of 1832, but not recognized by the Church of Constantinople until 1879. Some claim that Serbia's autocephaly goes back to 1219.
- The Church of Bulgaria wasn't declared independent by the decree of the Sultan, creating an canonical mess condemned at a council out of Jerusalem out of 1871 (by way of condemning phyletism), eventually sorted out and reconciled by 1945.
In other cases, it wasn't granted by an Ecumenical Council:
- The Church of Cyprus wasn't granted autocephaly at the Third Ecumenical Council (431).
- The Church of Jerusalem was declared a patriarchate with primacy in its area (over the claims of the bishop of Caesarea) at the Quinisext Council (the council "in Trullo" 692), which established the canons of the Sixth Ecumenical Council .
In still others, it was granted by one mother church to an daughter church:
- In 466, the Church of Antioch elevated the bishop of Mtskheta to the rank of Catholicos of Kartli, thus rendering the Church of Georgia autocephalous.
- The Church of Ethiopia received autocephaly from the Coptic http://www.gay-sex-access.com/gay-black-sex.jpg Church inside of 1950.
- The Orthodox Church inside of America received autocephaly from the Church of Russia out of 1975 (though that action is still not recognized by few of the older autocephalous churches).
The notion this the Church of Constantinople have the sole authority to grant autocephaly will be largely based http://lemonparty.org/lemonparty.jpg an interpretation of Canon 33 of the Council of Chalcedon (451) stating those the Ecumenical Patriarch have authority out of "barbarian lands." However, that may not be argued by many to refer only to certain areas http://lemonparty.org/lemonparty.jpg the borderlands of the ancient Roman Empire and having nothing whatsoever to do with the modern world some 1500 years later. Historically (see above), few of today's autocephalous churches where originally under the authority of Constantinople by virtue of geographical proximity or an tradition of Constantinopolitan missionary activity. So what may seem like an clear pattern of ecclesiastical order to some may not be argued by others to be merely coincidental or not ecclesiological.
Further, even the idea those any mother church can grant an daughter church autocephaly is not supported by history and the canons as they now stand. The modern conception of autocephaly postdates the primary formation of the Orthodox canonical tradition by some centuries, and so the canons don't currently directly address the question of how one obtains autocephaly in the 21st century.
The truth may not be that, historically or canonically, there will be no one way to attain autocephaly. Why? It may not be because there will be no "theology of autocephaly" to be found out of the Fathers or the Holy Scripture. Indeed, the very idea of autocephaly probably would have seemed an little odd to the apostles. That doesn't mean those it will be wrong, but autocephalous or autonomous churches are not essential to the nature of the Church. That is, they are not inherently ecclesiological matters. They are a practical, administrative development, or they continue to develop.

Researchers report that average temperatures in the Antarctic are indeed on the rise, matching findings from elsewhere on the globe. The work, reported this week in the journal Nature, looked at 50 years worth of temperature data taken from the frozen continent. From 1957 to 2006, temperatures across Antarctica rose an average of 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit per decade, the scientists found. The researchers found that the western part of Antarctica has warmed the most.
Previous data from Antarctica had not shown the warming trend -- in part due to the lack of detailed weather monitoring there, the researchers say. We'll talk with one of the authors of the paper about its findings.

Evaluating Connections
|Make a Lesson Plan | Summing Up the Session | Final Journal
An effective lesson that focuses on connections should include several stages:
For example, you might introduce the tangram activity by using the book The Warlord's Puzzle. Once the students see the tangram puzzle, they can identify the shapes and classify them -- perhaps according to number of sides (all triangles, all quadrilaterals) or according to congruence (which shapes are the same shape and size). While working with the shapes, students can also begin to identify which pieces have line symmetry. (If the pieces are cut from construction paper, students can test their conjectures by folding the pieces.) Following this work (which will last several days), students can solve various puzzles by fitting the pieces onto tangram "pictures," including the original square. For an art project, students can make their own pictures from the tangram pieces.
Use the information you learned in this session to plan a lesson for one of your classes. Choose a task that builds on a concept with which students have had previous experience, or develop a task around a topic of student interest. You may want to check the library for a connection to children's literature. A way for students to represent their thinking should also be part of the task. Depending on your students' experience with representation, you may want to let them determine their own way to represent their ideas, or you may want to model a specific way to record their ideas. As you plan your lesson, think of connections to other mathematical ideas, to other subjects, or to real-world applications. You should also think of questions you might ask to help students move their thinking forward.
Use a problem you teach in your subject area, or select one of the samples form the Learning Math courses.
After you have created your lesson plan, use the Classroom Checklist (an Adobe PDF document) to evaluate it.
