Fasten Your Seatbelt For Today's USDA Corn Production ForecastTweet
USDA blew the cobwebs off its calculators and forecast a 14.8 billion bushel corn crop for 2012, helped by a 5.1 million acre increase in corn and a record 166 bushel yield average. With increased demand for corn all around, there will still be a 1.9 billion bushel carryout at the end of the marketing year in August 2013. For the new crop total use will be up 9% from the old crop, based on higher use for feed and exports, along with sweeteners and starches. Corn used for ethanol is expected to remain flat. Even with the nearly 2 billion bushel carryout, USDA is forecasting the season average price from $4.20 to $5 per bushel, but that is down sharply from the $6.10 expected for the current crop. Specifically, feed use is forecast at 5.450 billion, ethanol at 5.0 billion, exports at 1.9 billion, and ending stocks at 1.881 billion. Compared to the old crop, total use is projected more than 1.1 billion bushels higher.
For the old crop, ending stocks were pushed higher by USDA to 851 million bushels because of slower use in feed and residual, along with the expected increased use of wheat for livestock feeding. Additionally, there will be increased corn availability at the end of the current marketing year because of the early planting and expected early harvest of the new crop. USDA says that will displace old crop usage and boost carryout. Specifically, feed use from the old crop is estimated at 4.55 billion, ethanol at 5.0 billion, and exports at 1.7 billion, with the 851 million carryout.
Globally, corn production for 2012-13 is projected to increase by 75 million tons, setting a record for production for the 6th consecutive year. Compared to the expected 946 million ton production, consumption is forecast at 921 million tons. That leaves global ending stocks at the highest level in more than a decade.
USDA forecast new crop soybean production at 3.205 billion bushels, up 200 million from last year because of higher yields in the face of lower planted acreage. The soybean yield was forecast at 43.9 bushels up 2.4 bushels per acre from last year. The crush was projected at 1.655 billion bushels, about the same as the current marketing year, but exports are forecast at 1.505 billion up 190 million from the current year to fill the shortfall from South American production. Total soybean use is projected at 3.285 billion, compared to 3.076 for the current crop. USDA placed ending stocks at 145 million bushels, down 65 million from the current year, and said the season average price would range from $12 to $14 per bushel.
Globally, soybean production is expected to increase by 15%, spurred by higher prices and a yield rebound that will result in more acreage in South America for the crop to be planted later this year. USDA expects record crops in both Argentina and Brazil. China is expected to import about 61 million tons, up 5 million from the current year.
In the May crop production report, USDA forecast winter wheat production at 1.693 billion bushels. That includes 1.032 billion for hard red winter wheat, 428 million for soft red winter wheat, 14 million for white wheat, and 219 million for soft white wheat. That is up from 1.493 billion a year ago, helped by a 111 million bushel increase in the Kansas wheat production, and an 84 million bushel increase for Oklahoma. Percentage-wise, total production is up 13%, area to be harvested is up 10%. The average yield was placed at 47.6 bushels, up 1.4 bushels from 2011.

Good movie. interesting plot
Really good, suspenseful, good acting. Worth it to see it in the theatre.
I thought it was great. The ending was perfect. I saw it twice.
Anything with Liam Neeson on is always entertaining.
Lots of action (although an unbelievable plot and impossible that there were no fatalities in that train crash).
I'm giving this a five based on entertainment value which overshadows its deficiencies. It made a quick exit from the theaters which is surprising in that so many other inferior ones have played longer.
I liked this movie very much. It seemed like an Alfred Hitchcock genre . It kept me guessing and wondering who the enemy really was. Nelson is perfect and believable as the main character.
Liam Neeson rules.
Very ordinary. Never was able to care who the unknown was.
Ugh... I like Nesson but I can't stomach this drivel.

yviedubs needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 112 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Hi, I'm a new stay at home mum (37yrs old) with a 14 month old baby girl (called Ella!) We live on Bondi Beach in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. I'm originally from the UK.
Over the last year staying at home with my daughter I've come to appreciate the importance of getting out and about with your kid everyday, avoiding the mundane, trying new things and building a network of mums all in the local region.
There are plentiful events and stuff to do for mums in the local region, but there is no single source of this information. ellaslist.com.au will fulfil this need in a subscription newsletter format, The website will also be a place for mums to hangout, share experiences, write articles, get ideas, as well as holding advertised listings for baby sales, new product lines, R&R for mums, plus reviews and ratings of activities in the region.
It's for mothers with small children in the local region (bondi + other suburbs in the east of sydney), initially targeting mums with children age 0-2
We anticipate that this will expand quickly geographically and by age group i.e.mums with children up to the age of 15 years.
The mothers in this area are savvy, well educated, affluent, don't work or work part time. Age range from 28 to 45. A high proportion will have been born overseas or outside the local region, so have limited or no family support (their support network are friends and other mothers)
They are actively involved with their children's development, likely to be married, have household annual incomes of +$100,000 USD, word of mouth and recommendations are very important to these mums. They are trendy, follow fashion, read lifestyle and fashion magazines, are online savvy, use social networking sites regularly, prior to having children these women worked full time and were socially active. After having children they have not lost touch with their previous lives and see themselves as young at heart.
A logo that will be used on website and all marketing material.
Must contain the words 'ellaslist'
The logo must to be able to work on a small format , e.g. small banner ads, and be read easily when included as part of a sentence, e.g. 'Are you on ellaslist?'
Must appeal to trendy fashion conscious 35 yr old mums.
The site is for mums, NOT for children (no logo's with crayon colors or balloons please)
It should be distinctive and easily memorable.
It should convey a sense of urgency. e.g. 'Don't miss out'. 'Be the first to know'

- A couple of years back, an alumnus who had graduated more than 30 years back from the B-School where I teach, had shared a personal episode with me. After joining the institute, within first term he realised that he could not cope up with the place. This was not so much because of the academic pressures, but because all teaching was done in English, and he was not at all conversant in the language.
Deciding to call it quits, he went to the then dean, and told him about his decision. "But you can't leave just because you don't know English!!", the jesuit priest told him... and then spent next six months, daily two hours, teaching him English!
When I met him, he had already worked with some of the leading Indian and foreign corporates for a couple of decades, had raised a family of very mature children (I met them), had decided to branch out on his own, and was operating his business.
Why did I recall this incident today?
- ...Today, I chanced upon a report (tip: Uma's blog) about Garima, the 16-year old daughter of a Delhi police constable, who had topped her class X (in the government-aided DAV Dwarka) by securing 97.6% marks in the CBSE exams - and a perfect 100 in science. Belonging to one of the Delhi villages, when she applied to DPS Dwarka (New Delhi), she was not selcted.
According to the school principal: "This year, we had around 200 applications for 28 seats. In the admission process, the Board exam score is not ignored, neither is it the only criteria. We take in students on relative merit, on the basis of an entrance test, an interview, and the board exam marks."
Garima ranked 12th out of 80 students selected in the written test, and made it to the interview, where she failed to make the grades. DPS' explanation for rejecting her was: "The CBSE marks don't mean anything to us. We have certain criteria about the kind of children we want. She wasn't able to speak English properly and that was also a problem."
There were 9 other girls who got selected, though they had less marks in CBSE than Garima, but fitted the "kind of children" the school wanted.
Garima was lucky, since she got noticed by the media and appeared on NDTV debate. Barkha Dutt wrote about her: "...there was nothing about her spoken English that suggested that she would have been unable to keep pace with the syllabus. Yes, she spoke with a regional accent that some would consider insufficiently sophisticated. But there was no doubt that she could not only follow a complex argument, she could also make herself understood to any English speaker."
I think, and hope, that Garima's case is not generalisable across all schools and all people. There are some heart-warming exceptions too. For instance, there was this touching article on Sudama's Children in the recent issue of The Outlook, which featured the Delhi schools and childen from less-privileged backgounds who studied there... about their challenges and the support they got from their peers and school.
Neverthless, Garima's case does open up three issues to think about...
1. The Purpose of Our Elite Educational Institutions
Whether DPS - or IITs, NITs, IIMs, XLRI, etc. - the entry to all such institutions is based on criteria that select the "educatable" students. These are the one who meet the criteria - good "background", the "profile", "communication skills" (in "proper" English) - that will help them to do well at the exit stage (e.g., cracking the IIT, B-school entrance test, getting a "good" job, etc.). This 'exit performance', in turn, increases the equity and ranking of the institution, and will attract more of such people to the educational institution.
Needless to say, such institutions do add value by polishing the latent aptitudes of the students.
But do they really create value which contributes to society?...
...or to paraphrase Justice Chinnappa Reddy 1985 SC judgement:
[Barkha Dutt's article - The English Divide - articulates the other two issues much better, and so, I will take the liberty of quoting from her]
2. The "Meaning" of Merit in Our Society?
"Garima's story is a metaphor for India's twisted tryst with the future... For some months now, as the debate over reservation has raged, opponents of the quotas have made the same point again and again: we should be a society where merit matters. It's a compelling argument... But what do the anti-quota street fighters have to say now? Here's a girl who competed in the mainstream, her own DAV pitched against the trendier, richer, big names. But her merit was swallowed up by prejudice.
...and all because her English accent was not sufficiently sophisticated!!!
3. "English" as an Instrument of Social Divide?
This is an important aspect of our social divide, since in India - inspite of its much touted "large English speaking population", there are barely 20-40mn (out of 1bn), who can actually read, write and speak English (of course, we have our own form of "Hinglish" with the road-side dhabas advertising that they serve "snakes" (snacks) with "child bear" ;0)...
...and there is an "elitism" about speaking "proper" English - even though, our English acquires its own regional peculiarities across the country.
As Burkha Dutt, points out:
"...Garima's story exposes India's paradoxical relationship with the English language. Nobody in the world speaks English like us. We have our own idioms, our own words and our own accents.
We pretend to love our own English and brag about how it is India's great selling point; the reason we dominate the global outsourcing business. But, of course, deep down we know that our English is not the English that the West really wants. And so, each time we talk to Britons or Americans, we subtly alter our diction and inflection. When we set up our call centres, we drop the subtlety entirely and start accent classes to teach our young people to abandon the speech patterns of our own society and to migrate to a virtual, linguistic, middle America, where they become impersonators of people they will never meet and never know.
But within India, we still treat our own English as the great social decider. We laugh at regional accents, smirk at those who make grammatical errors and feel most at home with those who talk like us. Everyone else belongs on the other side of the English divide. And as it turns out, the other side of the class and caste divide as well."

As important as Jesus' familial background may have been, that was not quite what a reader who read the genealogy would emphasize (see 1:18-25). In this section Matthew is most interested in Jesus' spiritual ancestry in Israel's history (Johnson 1988:209-10). The names in Matthew's genealogy-like Judah, Ruth, David, Uzziah, Hezekiah, Josiah-would immediately evoke for Matthew's audience a whole range of stories they had learned about their heritage from the time of their childhood. By evoking great heroes of the past like David and Josiah, Matthew reminds his audience of the ultimate hero of Israel's history to whom all those stories pointed.
Matthew makes this point clear in the opening words of his genealogy: a record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, literally, the "book of the genesis of Jesus Christ" (1:1). Matthew gets this phrase from passages in Genesis ("the book of the generations of" in Gen 2:4; 5:1; 10:1, translated "account of" in the NIV), but his use of the phrase contrasts starkly with the use in Genesis. Genealogies like those in Genesis typically list a person's descendants after this phrase, rather than his ancestors. Matthew's point here is profound: so much is Jesus the focal point of history that his ancestors depend on him for their meaning. In other words, God sovereignly directed the history of Israel and preserved David's line because of his plan to send Jesus (Gundry 1982:10, 13; Patte 1987:18).
As the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 unify history between major figures (Adam, Noah and Abraham; see Johnson 1988:78), Matthew's genealogy unifies the defining periods of Israel's history and points them to Jesus. Jewish people also viewed genealogies as a testimony of God's providence in their ancestry. Many people regarded ancestry and the joining of couples as a sign of divine rule (for example, Epict. Disc. 1.12.28-29). Jewish people in particular believed that husbands and wives came together by an act of divine providence; some later rabbis even called it a miracle as great as the parting of the Red Sea (b. Sanhedrin 22a). History is important: it defines our identity and shapes our preparation for the future; and because we are God's people, Israel's history in the Bible has more to say to us about our eternal identity than does the heritage of any other culture we may claim as our own.
The Gentile mission. Through four interracial marriages Matthew teaches us about missions and racial reconciliation (1:3, 5-6). While Matthew's most obvious point is the connection of Jesus with Israel's history, another point would also strike his biblically sensitive readers forcefully. Genealogies need include only men (those in 1 Chron exemplify this pattern), so the unexpected appearance of four women draws attention to them. Had Matthew merely meant to evoke the history of Israel in a general way, one would have expected him to have named the matriarchs of Israel: Sarah, Rebekah, Leah and Rachel. Or to evoke supernatural births as a prelude to Mary's, he could cite Sarah, Rebekah and Rachel, whose wombs God opened. Instead he names four women whose primary common link is their apparent Gentile ancestry: Tamar of Canaan, Rahab of Jericho, Ruth the Moabite and the ex-wife of Uriah the Hittite.
In a world divided by races and cultures, an interracial marriage can appear scandalous, an act of treachery. The traditional white prejudice in some parts of the United States against black-white intermarriage is rooted in the history of slavery and racism (see Bennett 1966:242-73). Yet a genuinely divinely ordained interracial marriage can testify that Christ is a bond that runs deeper than race. One Tamil-Sinhalese couple in racially torn Sri Lanka declared, "Our marriage crosses the ethnic lines that divide our nation" (Williams 1992:10). By contrast, many North American Christians fail to actively pursue even interracial friendships.
Jewish people regarded genealogies as important to establish the purity of their lineage (as in 1 Esdras 5:39-40), yet it is the mixed nature of Jesus' lineage that Matthew purposely highlights. When Matthew cites these four women, he is reminding his readers that three ancestors of King David and the mother of King Solomon were Gentiles. Matthew thus declares that the Gentiles were never an afterthought in God's plan but had been part of his work in history from the beginning. This point fits an emphasis that runs throughout Matthew's Gospel (for example, 2:1; 3:9; 4:15; 8:11; 28:19), that God is not only for people of our own race or culture; we must cross racial and cultural boundaries to evangelize the whole world, humbly learn from other cultures, and serve with our brothers and sisters there.

SOCHI, Russia — The closing ceremony was intended to celebrate the new face of Russia.
And after a month of intense scrutiny over human rights violations, stray dogs, unfinished hotels and terrorism threats, that face looked largely relieved Sunday and perhaps a bit too exhausted to party.
"We did it," Sochi 2014 CEO Dmitry Chernyshenko said at the ceremony. "We conquered the Olympic summit. And these Games will be with us forever — Olympics. Cool. Ours."
The Sochi Games ended much like they began, with a colorful homage to Russia's rich cultural history. Just as it had two weeks ago, the ceremony featured spectacular dancing, tributes to great writers and stirring classical music piped throughout Fisht Olympic Stadium.
This time, however, they nailed the unveiling of all five Olympic rings.
During the opening ceremony, a giant hydraulic snowflake failed to transform into one of five interlocking rings dangling above the stadium. The mishap made international news, as some jokingly suggested it could be an omen for President Vladimir Putin and the $51 billion Games that were meant to demonstrate Russia's strength and superiority under his leadership.
The Russians seemed to briefly mock those jabs — and themselves — during the closing festivities as 700 performers in mirrored costumes formed small circles that blossomed into the rings. The fifth circle purposefully refused to transform into the fifth ring for a few seconds and then drew a large roar of approval from the crowd when it finally acquiesced.
Though most closing ceremonies take on a block-party atmosphere with athletes dancing and singing together, the Sochi athletes spent the majority of the event seated quietly in the stands as if attending a college lecture.
They only left their seats at the very end of the ceremony, when English-language pop music was pumped through the sound system and they were invited to dance on the stadium floor.
Organizers did show a bit of whimsy when they had one of the Sochi mascots — a giant animatronic polar bear named Mishka — extinguish a symbolic flame in the middle of the stadium. The bear appeared to cry as the fire died out.
"It is the great moment in our history, a moment to cherish and pass on to the next generations," Chernyshenko said. "A moment that will never be forgotten. This is the new face of Russia, our Russia."
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach broke from tradition and did not bestow any superlative upon these Games as his predecessors have done at other closing ceremonies. Past IOC presidents Juan Antonio Samaranch and Jacques Rogge almost always used an adjective or two to rate the Games for spectators and TV audiences.
Samaranch often closed Olympics by calling them "the best Games ever," while Rogge referred to the London Games as "happy and glorious."
Bach, who took over the IOC in September, purposefully avoided such praise and instead described the Sochi Olympics as "the athletes' Games" and praised it for having "exceptional conditions."
"Everybody with an open mind could see the face of a new Russia: efficient and friendly, patriotic and open to the world," Bach said. "We arrived with great respect for the rich and varied history of Russia. We leave as friends of the Russian people."

Introduction: Gena Philibert-Ortega is a genealogist and author of the book "From the Family Kitchen." In this guest blog post, Gena searches old newspapers to investigate the murder mystery of Louise Bailey back in 1914.
"If she is innocent, may God help her."
~ Mrs. Duryea
Imagine a story that involves jealousy, murder, and a bullet through a window. The players in this tragedy include the jealous society wife of a physician, the doctor, and a female patient. And as with all good whodunits the story ends with more questions than answers.
Is this the plot of a recent murder mystery novel? Perhaps one of those episodes of Law and Order ripped from the headlines? No, this is a murder mystery that happened almost 100 years ago, specifically June 1914 in Freeport, New York. A story preserved in old newspaper articles.
It involves Dr. Edwin Carman, his wife Florence Carman, and a patient named Mrs. Louise Bailey. On that June evening Mrs. Bailey was in the exam room of Dr. Carman's home medical office, seeking a remedy for malaria. Suddenly a bullet was fired from outside that went through the window of the exam room and killed Mrs. Bailey instantly. Later, speculation would arise that Mrs. Bailey was the unintended murder victim and the real target was the doctor himself.
As with any murder that involves a married woman, first suspicions might rest with the husband of the victim. In this case, Mr. Bailey was at home at the time of the shooting, wondering what was taking his wife so long. It is thought that this was the first time Mrs. Bailey had sought Dr. Carman's services.
Suspicion quickly turned to Mrs. Carman, who admitted that in the past, jealousy had driven her to such acts as setting up a recording device in her husband's office so that she could hear anything going on behind those closed doors. Bugging her husband's office wasn't the first time Mrs. Carman had allowed jealousy to cloud her judgment. Her husband relayed a story where Mrs. Carman had burst into the exam room and slapped and pulled the hair of a female patient.
So from their own admission, Mrs. Carman had been known to be jealous of her husband's female patients—but was she capable of murder? While Mrs. Carman and another family member insisted she was in bed at the time of the shooting, a male patient in the waiting room testified that he had seen her walking around.
Whether it was the vengeance of a disgruntled employee—or the true testimony of someone who heard Mrs. Carman admit her guilt—the Carman's maid said that Mrs. Carman had confessed to her that "she shot (at) him." The maid's claim sealed the deal and Mrs. Carman was put on trial for first degree murder.
The alleged confession added to the speculation that the doctor was the true target of the crime. Mrs. Carman's defense team argued that the real killer was an unknown man. Another possible suspect for the shooting raised by the defense was an "insane" patient exacting some sort of revenge on the doctor. But Dr. Carman couldn't think of any possible patients who fit that profile.
After a sensational court trial, the jury reported to the judge that they were hopelessly deadlocked on the verdict. Later, a second murder trial acquitted Florence Carman. Did Florence Carman get away with murder or was this a case of some random act of violence? Maybe Mrs. Carman had reason to be jealous or maybe an equally jealous husband pulled the trigger, intent on ending the life of the doctor.
We may never know what really happened that summer evening at the home office of Dr. Carman, but if you're investigating a case of a murder in your family history, remember that those who commit murder leave a paper trail—and that trail can often be found in old newspapers.
Have a murder case or other crimes in your family tree? Consult newspapers in the city that the ancestor was from, as well as newspapers from across the United States because the story may have been picked up and republished. Read histories of the area for information about the case and the families involved. If the case went to trail, spend some time at the courthouse or hire someone to find documents relating to the case. Also, peruse old newspapers for court case articles. The public hearings and verdicts of superior, civil and criminal court cases can often be found in old newspapers. A criminal case may just be the tip of the iceberg. The victim's family may have also decided to sue, so check the civil trial index. Looking for other records to consider? Coroner's inquests and criminal records might also help.
What happened to Dr. and Mrs. Carman? They continued to live out their days in Freeport, New York. Some books suggest that her new-found infamy led her to the New York stage where she spent a short time singing.* It seems that even in the "good old days" those who committed murder sometimes found a fame that escaped them prior to their notorious deeds.
While you may never know what really happened in your family's murder case, with enough research you can at least tell the story. Whether your ancestor was the accused or the victim of the crime, resources exist to help piece together and document this part of your family history.
Note: the quote at the beginning of the post refers to the fact that Mrs. Bailey's mother, Mrs. Duryea, reportedly said of the accused killer Florence Carman: "If she is innocent, may God help her." "Mrs. Florence Carman Arrested and Held on Charge of Murder." Meridian Weekly Republican (Meridian, Connecticut), 9 July 1914, page 1.
* The books Ghosts of 42nd Street by Anthony Bianco (page 40) and When I'm Bad, I'm Better: Mae West, Sex, and Entertainment by Marybeth Hamilton (page 4) both suggest Florence Carman spent some time singing on stage.

1999 Jeep Grand CherokeePosted in Project Vehicles on January 1, 1999
It may look somewhat the same as the old Grand, but the new Jeep Grand Cherokee is in a league of its own. Sure, it's still the same basic shape and style-and it's got the same price as the '98 model. But a more thorough investigation of this luxury sport/utility reveals that there's more new here than just a little facelift.
In fact, nearly everything is upgraded and refined, from the all-new sheetmetal with the slightly more rounded style and similar-looking grille to the highly improved drivetrain components. Not that there was anything really wrong with the old Grand, in fact, it won more awards in its class than any other real 4x4.
Jeep started with a desire to keep all the previous model's strengths and to upgrade the performance and luxury departments to make it competitive in the booming sport/ute market. Stronger, leaner, and meaner is what the company came up with, and the ad slogan, "The Most Capable Sport/Utility Ever" is right on the money. The new 4.7 V-8, coupled to the new 45RFE transmission, is a delight to drive, and for off-roading, the Quadra-Trac II transfer case and Vari-Lok axles make it more capable than ever.
Even Grand buyers on a budget can enjoy the new Jeep, since the highly improved 4.0L six-cylinder and 42RE transmission are available, along with the standard Select-Trac transfer case and rear Trac-Loc option. But regardless of drivetrain options, the improved steering, handling, and braking all come standard with a bevy of interior options and upgrades.
Our intro to this new offering was a real kick in the pants, and we can't wait to do lots of highway and trail testing to give you a real owner's perspective. Our biggest complaint is that the transmission and transfer-case controls are too close and similar, but after a few weeks, their placement will probably feel natural. Even if you can't afford to buy one, you owe it to yourself to take a testdrive, but be careful, you just might take one home.

Taylor Swift Takes Fans Behind the Scenes of Her Vogue Photo Shoot
Taylor Swift's Vogue cover shoot took place the night before the starlet turned 22. As a result, the starlet was reflective on life, her look and, of course, love.
Perhaps because she was growing up, Swift took drastic measures for the shoot and ditched her trademark curly tendrils for a sleek, straight strands and bangs. "It was a pretty interesting morning," Swift giggled, "because they said, 'We were thinking of maybe doing bangs, extensions –' and I was like, 'You know what? Just cut it. Why not?' So I have bangs now."
Swift mused on the change in her style. "A new hairstyle and new makeup — and I love that I got to pose with my instruments," she said. "It's so exciting to make a departure from what people usually see me looking like, but still be recognizable." It's unclear whether Swift will approach her songwriting for her next record the same way — going out of her comfort zone while still being herself — but we can hope!
In any case, the subject matter will be typical T-Swizzle. "I write a lot of my songs about love and breakups and relationships and feelings and the whole process because it's the most maddening, beautiful, magical, horrible, painful, wonderful joyous thing in the world, love."
Now that she's 22, what lessons has Swift learned about life? "You go through so many different phases in life. Life is this constant series of epiphany after epiphany," she said. Have her lessons brought her down the right path? It sure sounds like it. "As far as where I wanted to be five years ago, this is it," Swift gushed. "I wouldn't change a thing."

A federal court has ordered the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to reinstate a Christian fraternity which had been denied recognition because its officers refused to sign the university's nondiscrimination policy requiring the group to allow homosexuals to join.
The preliminary injunction, issued by U.S. District Court Judge Frank W. Bullock Junior, will permit Alpha Iota Omega access to student funds and university facilities, like other fraternities on campus. The order will remain in force until the issue of compliance with the university's policy against discrimination is settled, most likely in court.
"This is the first battle in the lawsuit, and we are victorious in that sense," said Joshua Carden, an attorney with the Alliance Defense Fund, the Arizona-based organization representing the fraternity.
Alpha Iota Omega was formed six years ago for the purpose of "providing leadership and outreach to the campus Greek community through evangelism and mentorship."
As reported by WorldNetDaily, the fraternity had made numerous attempts to convince the university to change its policy that required them to admit homosexuals. In a letter to UNC-CH Chancellor James Moeser, the Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), a national civil liberties organization, emphasized the fraternity's belief that a shared faith was central to the group's identity: "UNC simply may not use its nondiscrimination policy to dictate how religious student organizations must deal with matters of faith. No group can control the content of its message if it is unable to choose its messengers."
Moeser and the university, however, refused to back down, insisting that all student groups must have open memberships. The policy requires recognized student groups to open membership to anyone, regardless of age, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation or gender.
"At this university, we encourage students to nurture their moral, spiritual and religious lives," he wrote in reply. "And we do not discriminate against students seeking recognition for religious groups.
"So, for example, Baptist student groups are open to Presbyterian students; Jewish student groups are open to Christian students; the Italian Club is open to Korean students; and the Black Student Movement is open to white students," Moeser concluded.
Official recognition of the fraternity was withdrawn last August and Alpha Iota Omega filed suit.
The preliminary injunction puts Alpha Iota Omega "on the same footing as nonreligious organizations which select their members on the basis of commitment … ," Bullock wrote in his order. The nondiscrimination policy, the judge said, "raises significant constitutional concerns and could be violative of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution."
In the wake of Judge Bullock's ruling, Moesler is still standing firm in his support of the nondiscrimination policy, according to the Durham Herald Sun, telling a meeting of the Faculty Council, "No one has won at this point. We continue to believe in the merits of the university's position."
UNC was involved in a similar flap in 2002 when it withheld recognition for InterVarsity Christian Fellowship because the group required its leaders to be Christians. The uproar that followed was met with a change of mind by Chancellor Moeser at that time, and a policy was adopted allowing religious groups to require that leaders share the group's faith. However, membership had to remain open to all.
During 2002's summer session, UNC drew national attention for requiring its 3,600 incoming freshmen and transfer students to enroll in a class on Islam and attend group discussions around the mandatory text, "Approaching the Qur'an: The Early Revelations."Download file "Judge: Christian frat can ban homosexuals"

They will therefore be open to the ticket buying public.
Originally, the qualifiers were due to be played in the academy situated in the same building, which does not have room for spectators.
This was because it costs a considerable sum of money to hire the Badminton Hall. As it is, World Snooker will lose money staging the qualifiers there but they have done the right thing.
They received many emails from disgruntled snooker fans and the odd word of caution from a few experienced hands about the backlash that was coming their way.
It's refreshing that they have listened to what fans want, even if it will leave them out of pocket.
I can understand the governing body not providing seating for qualifying in general. Crowds are usually small and it doesn't make economic sense.
But the World Championship is different. As anyone who has attended will know, it's a hugely dramatic few days as players battle to reach the Crucible.
The drama of it all makes it one of the highlights of the year, though for the players it's more of an ordeal to be endured.
While on the subject, I've had a few snooker fans contact me to complain there is no streaming of the qualifiers.
The reason for this is that the deal the previous board signed with 110sporttv is binding for three years – even if the qualifiers are not actually streamed by them.
To me, this is a ridiculous situation. It would be like selling the rights of the FA Cup to ITV and them not showing a single match.
Barry Hearn has much to untangle, and I'm sure he will.
Fans want to watch snooker and should be given as much opportunity to do so as possible.
Playing the world qualifiers in front of the public is the right decision: and I would recommend to anyone going along to watch.
Note: the final round of qualifying will now be on March 12 and 13.

are fold out seats allowed?

Lee Doyle still manages to harm snooker, even from beyond the grave.
- 8:49 am
Why could they not use the SWSA??
- 9:02 am
Great News Dave. Can you just confirm the exact start and end dates for the qualis? I had them finishing on the Tuesday (15th) and need to rejig leave from work if that's now not the case! Thanks, SB.
- 9:06 am
brilliant news!!!!
- 9:06 am
- Dave H said...
Part of the Crucible deal is that Sheffield is 'snooker city' so although the SWSA would be ideal, it is, unfortunately, in Gloucester.
As far as I know the qualifiers still start on March 4 and finish on the 12th.
- 10:07 am
- Dave H said...
Sorry, they finish on the 13th.
- 10:08 am
Pretty sure they will now finish on the 13th.
John A
- 10:09 am
perhaps the SWSA should get some early qualifiers, give people in different parts of the country the chance to watch
Hold the last matches at Sheffield
- 10:11 am
Do Sheffield pay World Snooker to hold the event in their city?
- 10:15 am
aye, very good 1011
i want some of them in scotland then.
think before you type!
- 10:31 am
Is Lee Doyle dead?
- 10:38 am
if theres a suitable venue 1031 in scotland for 8 tables at a time , yes why not.....one place should not get all the pieces of the cake
- 11:12 am
- Dave H said...
World Snooker are paying for a venue already
Why would they want to pay for another one as well?
- 11:26 am
"The reason for this is that the deal the previous board signed with 110sporttv is binding for three years – even if the qualifiers are not actually streamed by them."
so that has one more season to run and by 2012/2013 that would have run out ?
- 12:38 pm
This seems a bit unfair to the somewhat bashful players who have excelled in spectator-free conditions over the past few months.
I can think of quite a few who have struggled in front of an audience and even more so on TV.
Why should they be penalised buy allowing spectators in, just to appease the voyeuristic nature of society in 2011?
- 1:01 pm
they wouldnt dave
tho that person posting earlier was being a bit narrow minded and wanted another one closer to them, hence i said i wanted another close to me then.
s/he obviously hadnt thought it through
- 2:25 pm
Eh, if there's a contract surely they have to broadcast the matches?? What sort of contract allows one side not to fulfil its side of the deal?
- 2:42 pm
wrong betsy, otherwise theyd be being broadcast.
next youll wrong-guess the sponsors....
- 2:55 pm
that contract probably said that 110sport are allowed to stream the qualifiers if they want and for that WS received some coin. Guess Sir Rodney didn't care.
- 3:08 pm
In the current climate of Health and Safety I doubt it will happen.
The risk assessors could have a field day, unless all spectators are willing to pay for hard hats and high visability jackets.
Not to mention protective goggles to avoid an errant red ball which might be propelled across the room at great velocity.
- 3:09 pm
I suppose the qualifiers differ from big sports events in that usually in those cases there is a 'host broadcaster' who is responsible for making the pictures available to other rights holders worldwide. The cost of such an operation varies considerably - consider the difference of having a locked-off shot of the whole table, versus the multi-camera shoots we now expect to reveal the angles in snooker. Many fans would probably cope with a single shot as being preferable to nothing, but it would be very hard to sell it to anyone else so World Snooker would probably have to do it themselves, absorbing the cost of cameras and streaming which would add to the loss being made. It will be interesting to see what happens after the 110 contract runs out: does World Snooker do it as a service to fans, or does someone try to make it turn a profit?
- 5:27 pm
- Matt said...
Absolutely fantastic news, made my week this. Look forward to the qualifiers more than any tournaments bar the Crucible itself and the UK's if I'm honest.
- 5:59 pm
Good news this, had given up any hope of being able to see any of the qualifiers this season to be honest.
- 7:21 pm
forget any excuses. 110 don't show the qualifiers because they don't have the money to produce the tv. forget contractual problems. no money is the biggest problem.
- 7:36 pm
How much money would it cost to buy 110 sport out of the contract so that Hearn can stream the qualifiers through his own contacts?
- 8:06 pm
If anyone has a problem with the qualifiers not being shown take it up with Doyle not Hearn. 110 are the ones desperate to get out the deal because they will still be paying a licence for something that is worth nothing
- 9:25 am
It wouldn't cost much to get out of that contract. Just rescind the 3rd year of it and give them back a third of whatever they paid.
If 110 arent happy they can sue for breach of contract and loss of earnings, which would be erm, nowt.
- 9:41 am
it would cost world snooker money to broadcast the qualifiers. as it stands they will prpbably be making money out of 110 paying the contract. does not help joe public, but if Barry is in to profit making, taking another six figures from 110 makes it a no brainer
- 11:14 am
- Dave H said...
Hearn wanted Perform to stream the qualifiers, so you're entirely wrong (about the figures as well)
- 11:20 am
So does that mean 110 are out of the deal?
If so why hasn't Perform boradcast anything - or was that down to access?
- 1:22 pm
- Dave H said...
Perform can't stream the qualifiers because 110sport still hold the rights
Unless this is somehow untangled by legal bods the situation will not change until the end of next season
- 1:36 pm

"Appalachian State is a good team and we will take a lot of the lessons from this game and make the necessary changes to improve our team," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "When you face a quality team it tells you a lot. In this case it told us what we do well, what we do poorly, which players can rise to the occasion and play well at this level, and which players struggle when they play at this level."
It looked as if the Bucs were going to take a 1-0 lead in the first half when ETSU earned a penalty kick on a foul inside the 18-yard box in the 36th minute, but a great save by Drake Benson kept the Bucs off of the board.
The Mountaineers took a 1-0 lead in the 41st minute as Arie Muniz settled an ETSU turnover and placed a strike from just outside the 18-yard box into the upper left corner of the net.
The Bucs had a couple chances late in the half but could not convert as Appalachian State took a 1-0 lead into the half.
ETSU came out inspired in the second half putting a lot of pressure on the Mountaineer defense. In the 68th minute, freshman Theo Yang (Lilburn, Ga.) made a great move and found a wide open Sean Hoek (
Both teams continued to get good looks at the goal, but neither team could get the game-winner as the match ended in a 1-1 tie.
ETSU was outshot 14-13 in the game as the Mountaineers had a 9-6 advantage in corners. James Holt (
"I was impressed with the play of Theo Yang and Alesi Osorio," Calabrese said. "Both of these young players came off of the bench and gave us a great lift. We are going to keep preparing to make sure we are ready as Wofford comes in on Tuesday."
The Bucs open the season Tuesday at 5 p.m. against Wofford. For more information on Buccaneer men's soccer and all other Buccaneer athletic news, please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

The Secret Beyond Matter
The ribosome "reads" the messenger RNA and sets the amino acids out in accordance with the information it contains. The diagrams show val, cyc and ala amino acids set out by the ribosome and transporter RNA. All proteins in nature are produced in this sensitive manner. No protein has come into being by chance.
Proteins are produced as the result of highly detailed processes inside the cell, with the assistance of many enzymes, in an organelle called the ribosome. The ribosome itself consists of proteins. This therefore brings with it an unrealistic hypothesis that the ribosome came into being by chance. Even Jacques Monod, a Nobel prize-winner and well-known advocate of the theory of evolution, describes how protein synthesis cannot be reduced solely to information in nucleic acids:
The code [in DNA or RNA] is meaningless unless translated. The modern cell's translating machinery consists of at least 50 macromolecular components, which are themselves coded in DNA: the code cannot be translated otherwise than by products of translation themselves… When and how did this circle become closed? It is exceedingly difficult to imagine. 204
The genetic system requires the enzymes to read this code from the DNA, the mRNA to be manufactured through the reading of these codes, the ribosome to which the mRNA with the code will go and bind to for production, a transporter RNA that carries the amino acids to be used in production to the ribosome, and the exceedingly complex enzymes that ensure the countless other intermediate processes in the same environment. Bear in mind that such a controlled environment needs to be completely isolated and also to contain all the requisite energy sources and raw materials, and the invalidity of the claims of chance can be seen only too clearly.
204. Monod, Jaques, Chance and Necessity: An Essay on the Natural Philosophy of Modern Biology, 1971, London Penguin:1997, reprint, p. 143.2009-08-17 15:53:43


text:
A couple of hundred people, including legislators who are members of the House and Senate Education committees and many who are not, gathered in a large conference room behind the Capitol Monday and Tuesday. They were there to discuss – you might even say "reconsider" – the Common Core State Standards.
Originally crafted by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), the Common Core is a set of standards for English and math. They have been adopted by 45 states, including by Arkansas in 2010. There was not a lot of controversy at the time.
The goal is to provide a common set of expectations for most students in English and math, with states and schools maintaining the freedom to create curricula to meet those standards. The idea is that, in a society where people move around and where students compete internationally, children everywhere should learn what two plus two equals at about the same time. That way schools could be measured and compared.
Policymakers and schools in Arkansas have spent the past three years making the transition. Students in grades K-2 started using the Common Core year before last, while students in grades 3-8 did this past year. Next month, it moves to high school, and in 2014-15, students start testing.
That's a big problem. It wasn't until this year that the Department of Education, which has had its hands full recently, realized that few schools in Arkansas have enough internet bandwidth to administer the tests online, as they're supposed to be done. There's a workaround — including, if need be, paper and pencil — but Gov. Beebe has scrambled leaders in education and business to create a real solution. They say we need to increase the bandwidth for other reasons, which is true, but Common Core makes the problem urgent.
Testing is causing problems in other states, too. Arkansas is part of a consortium of states known as PARCC that is preparing the online tests. Several states – most recently Georgia on Monday – have pulled out of PARCC.
It's only been lately that Common Core has begun attracting organized opposition, which is why legislators spent most of two long days hearing testimony from both sides.
The group Arkansas Against Common Core — and some legislators — say most of the country is adopting a new set of standards that have never been pilot-tested anywhere. Moreover, they say Common Core was hatched by the NGA, CCSSO, and others in a closed-door fashion and soon will lead to more federal control of education. Through No Child Left Behind, passed under President George W. Bush's administration, Washington already has taken an unprecedented role in schools. They say Common Core continues that momentum. President Obama's administration, which should have stayed out of this, encouraged states to adopt the Common Core by providing Race to the Top grants. Those were carrots. Soon may come the sticks.
The Department of Education and educational organizations, including two representing the state's teachers, are definitely for it. The general consensus of the room, even among some opponents, was that, academically, the standards are better than Arkansas' current frameworks. A former Teacher of the Year, an elementary principal, and other educators told legislators they like the standards. Supporters say they're narrower but deeper than the current state frameworks, which try to cover too much material too superficially. They're also better connected as a student moves from kindergarten through high school and into higher education.
The Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce supports it, too, arguing that Arkansas' current frameworks are not creating a well-educated workforce. If taxpayers are asked to spend about $10,000 per student per year, then Arkansas students should be compared accurately with those from other states. Otherwise, as the Chamber's Randy Zook testified, we're just giving ourselves and our students meaningless little trophies.
Education Commissioner Dr. Tom Kimbrell said Arkansas can change the standards and make them its own, a fact opponents dispute. Supposedly, the state could later get out. Opponents fear it won't be able to.
The Legislature is not in session, so Monday and Tuesday were simply informational meetings. Legislators probably will not vote on this issue until they meet in regular session in 2015. By then, all students in Arkansas will be taught based on the Common Core.

A recent New York Times article, "Solar Companies Seek Ways to Build an Oasis of Electricity," started by saying, "When Hurricane Sandy wiped out the power in areas like coastal Long Island and the Jersey Shore, what should have been beacons of hope—hundreds of solar panels glinting from residential rooftops—became symbols of frustration."
I read in the article a sense of missed opportunity. I've had a grid-tied system for a few years now. I understand that with my current configuration, the essential strategy was to ensure my system wouldn't energize what would be expected to be powerless grid lines to protect utility repair personnel from electrical shock. However, in situations where restoration of power from the grid may take days or weeks, wouldn't it be useful for the homeowner, as well as the solar-electricity industry, to have an isolation cut-out device between the grid and the service entrance that would prevent electricity from the PV array from being sent to the grid, but provide electricity to the house and neighboring houses?
Wouldn't it have been great to read that homes with PV systems were supplying enough electricity to provide a refuge for neighbors who would have been shivering in the dark? Instead, I read about solar energy going to waste.
With all of the gadgets and systems mushrooming in the industry, can't someone come up with an option that would allow for emergency electricity while protecting the power line workers?
Julius Hayden • Covington, Georgia
There actually is such an option—a grid-tied system with battery backup—but it is significantly more costly, requires more and slightly different equipment, and requires batteries. In HP110, you can find an article on such a system that provides electricity for my office. (Additional articles about grid-tied systems with battery backup can be found in HP139.)
However, the problem is not so much the danger of sending energy back onto the grid when it is down, since there are standard and inexpensive ways of dealing with that. The problem is that a solar-electric array puts out a fixed amount of energy and cannot make up for surges and other quickly changing energy requirements of a home. Plus, sunshine is variable, only available during the day and when there are few or no clouds. That is where either the grid or batteries enter to buffer surges and changes in the solar resource and in usage.
A good example of the problem is a fridge—something that folks really would like to have energy for during a blackout. That fridge might only take a couple of amps to run, but when its compressor motor tries to start, it might draw 10 to 15 amps for a brief period. And when a cloud skitters over the PV array, without batteries, the fridge—and everything else—would go out.
A battery backup system is more costly—1.5 to two times the cost of a batteryless system—and about 10% less efficient. We usually recommend that people consider batteries only if their homes experience frequent and/or prolonged outages. Of course, with storms occurring with greater frequency due to climate change, more people may be willing to spend the extra money for battery backup.

Big East M5: 01.10.14 EditionPosted by George Hershey on January 10th, 2014
- Creighton let out a huge sigh of relief on Wednesday. First, Doug McDermott's shoulder injury turned out to be a shoulder sprain. He is expected to play on Saturday and downplayed the injury, a good sign for the stud. Later, fellow senior Grant Gibbs received good news as his scary knee injury was revealed to be a dislocated kneecap. The worst case scenario some were fearing was a torn ACL, but luckily the sixth year senior will be able to play in his final year. Gibbs is expected to be out about a month, returning in time for the final month of the Big East season and postseason tournaments. The Creighton offense has been playing spectacularly and the team will feel the loss of Gibbs, but should survive without him, as several players like Jahenns Manigat, Austin Chatman, and Devin Brooks have stepped up their games this year. Each is averaging at least seven points, three rebounds and two assists per game.
- Georgetown center Joshua Smith did not travel with the team to Providence due to academic reasons. The Hoyas ended up getting run out of the gym against a Friars team that started 0-2 in the Big East. The Hoyas had their worst offensive performance of the season, shooting 39.6% from the floor while committing 15 turnovers. This situation looks similar to the suspension Greg Whittington was dealt after the first semester because of grades, and he ended up not playing the rest of the year. Hopefully Smith resolves the academic issue and returns back to the lineup because the Hoyas need his offensive presence down low to open up the floor for Markel Starks and D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera, who is having a breakout year.
- Doug McDermott is gaining traction as a leading candidate for National Player of the Year honors. With all the early season buzz about the top freshman across the country, McDermott is earning more recognition from the press for his remarkable season. Seth Davis wrote a great piece highlighting him as the top senior and SI.com's Brian Hamilton wrote about the star bucking the one-and-done trend to continue to hone his game, and his relationship with his coach, who is also his father. CBSSPORTS.com's Gary Parrish gave Doug a ton of attention this week by looking at whether he will win his first scoring title as well as putting him at the top of his list for NPOY, pointing out the last player to have the numbers he is putting up was Kevin Durant.
- The world's most famous bracketologist, Joe Lunardi, published his latest bracketology yesterday. He has four Big East teams in the field, with Villanova leading the way with a #2 seed. Creighton improved to a six seed and Xavier moved up to an eight seed. Georgetown regressed down to the 10 line after their loss to Providence. Butler was the eighth team out before they lost to DePaul, likely setting them back farther. Creighton and Xavier have impressed and should continue rising if their recent play continues. Seth Davis thinks the league will end up receiving five bids, but the rest of the league's teams have not been helping their case. As unlikely as it seems now, don't be surprised if Marquette and Providence make serious runs for berths as both have seemed to turn a corner and have the talent to win big resume boosting games.
- Seton Hall solidified their 2014 recruiting class with the addition of Northwestern transfer Chier Ajou. The Sudan native is 7'2″, but failed to see the court often while in Evanston. Ajou has a great story, coming to the United States after being held hostage in his home country. He will be eligible after the first semester next season and joins one of the nations top recruiting classes. The one missing piece for Kevin Willard's team was at the center position, and he now will have a player in conference play to battle in the post. He has great size and physical tools, and will have the next year to get to know Willard's system and improve his game. Ajou has the genes as his cousin is Luol Deng, but it will take more than that for him to play big minutes next year.

natashia on Family Tree Circles
view: full | list
Journals and Posts
Looking for 'Bonhomme' from Mauritius/South Africa
I'm Natashia and I'm hoping to find more information or relatives of my grandmother, Bettina (Marie) Bonhomme born in 1896 from Port Louis, mauritius and migrated to South Africa. Can't find much info on her as I was told she came over on a 'sugar boat' (does that mean that she came illegally?? or would there be shipping info??)She came with her brothers and sisters but her parents were left behind in mauritius. She then married Clement T Williams (my grandfather). Think I was told they married in their 20's like 26 so that would be 1922.
Does anyone know anything about the Bonhomme family in mauritius at all? Or can someone advise me where to look? Thanks :)

Perhaps you pass this Tudor-style building located on Garnet Avenue at Soledad Mountain Road and are unaware of its historical significance. In 1906, F.T. and Emma Scripps built a family estate named Braemar where the Catamaran Hotel is now located.
The cottage, built as a dining hall in the 1920s, was saved from demolition and donated to the Pacific Beach Town Council in 1985. The cottage is used for weddings, memorial services and family events.
Faulconer's grant was used to paint the structure and make repairs to the decorative woodwork inside.
For rental information and history of the building, visit rosecreekcottage.net.
The Pacific Beach Town Council has been working together since 1951 to build a better Pacific Beach. www.pbtowncouncil.org
