Added RiskCountering the argument that "The airplane doesn't know if it's light or dark," the record clearly shows a greater number of aircraft accidents at night. The AOPA Air Safety Foundation's Nall Report of general aviation accident statistics shows the increased hazard of flying at night. According to the 2007 edition of the report, "... only 19.2 percent of daytime accidents resulted in fatalities, but over one-third (34.6 percent) of all night accidents were fatal ... At night, nearly half of the accidents in VMC conditions were fatal ... compared to nearly three-fourths of night IMC accidents." There's a lot of added risk to flying in the dark. How can we minimize that risk?
Bad Is Worse At NightAt night, what might otherwise be inconveniences can become life-threatening emergencies. If confession is good for the soul, then my spirit will get a double-dose of medicine this month. Both experiences I am about to relate occurred at night, very early in my flying career, and in retrospect were incredibly stupid.
Stupid Pilot Trick #1My mechanic had just signed off the annual on my 1946 Cessna 120. I had hoped to get the entire inspection on this simple airplane done in a day, but as a backup, I had arranged to stay at a friend's home if we didn't finish up. (I was a roughly two-hour flight from home.) I'd even given myself a deadline: If the airplane wasn't buttoned up and ready to go by 4 p.m., I'd call my friend and have him pick me up. The inspector had found a little surface corrosion on an aileron fitting, and I had a little trouble reinstalling it (under the mechanic's supervision) after sandblasting and painting. That ate into my "launch" time, and it was about 4:45 p.m. before everything was closed up signed off. Thinking I could still beat the darkest night home (it was October), and with verified reports of very clear VMC for hundreds of miles around, I cast off my earlier plan, threw my overnight bag behind the antique Cessna's seat and turned on the master switch ... but didn't have the power to crank the engine. I rationalized that I must've shorted the battery when I removed it to clean the battery box during annual, so I did what any good taildragger pilot would do: I got my mechanic to sit in the copilot's seat while I hand-propped the little Continental engine, then jumped in and bid him farewell. A few minutes after 5 p.m. (more than an hour after my "no-go" time), I took off and headed west. Already the first auto and house lights were glowing in the autumn dusk. My battery seemed to charge all right, but an hour and a half later I was over very dark prairie east of Wichita when all my lights failed. I was alone, in the dark, with only a flashlight to show the way. I passed just south of a well-lighted runway, knowing my home 'drome sported 24-hour runway lighting. I already had the intense gas flame of a refinery near my destination in sight, so navigating in the clear, dark skies was easy. Only when I lined up with my home runway did I realize I didn't have a landing light, and in a three-point landing stance I would loose sight of anything straight ahead. Somehow my wheels kissed the pavement; I taxied clear and shut down. Only when I climbed out and stood on the tarmac did it occur to me how incredibly stupid most of my decisions had been that night, and how much my choices sounded like the write-up from a fatal NTSB report.
Stupid Pilot Trick #2A year or so later I was tasked to fly a Beech Baron from its base in northern Kansas down to Wichita. I hitched a ride up with a coworker in a Piper Warrior and, after inspecting the Baron and its logbooks, waved him homeward. We'd had stronger-than-expected headwinds on the way up, delaying my departure just enough so it would get dark before I got back home. I fired up the piston twin and took off, VFR, southward -- the first time I'd every flown that particular Baron. About half an hour out of Wichita, I noticed a ground fog developing. ATIS at Wichita Mid-Continent reported IFR conditions but well above minimums, so I called Center and picked up an IFR clearance in the air (ah, the Midwest). About the time I was on a vector to intercept the localizer for the ILS, as it was getting dark enough, I turned on the instrument panel lights. Nothing happened. It's hard to check panel lights for operation in daylight, but what I later learned was a faulty rheostat prevented them from coming on when I needed them. I'd not gone out of my way to shade the instruments and check that panel lights worked before I took off, knowing I'd be flying at night. What followed was the classic "flashlight in the mouth" approach set-up and landing, at least until I was low enough on the approach that the runway lights shone through the fog. There are a lot of "I should've done this" or "I should not have done that" in both these stories, lessons I've absorbed and integrated since that time. I'm sure in reading my confessions you've thought of some of the same things. But re-living these two potential disasters, and reviewing dozens of nighttime NTSB reports, I've come up with some techniques for minimizing the risk for night flight.
Night Safety Do's And Don'ts
Do Not...
- Fly at night without a thorough weather and NOTAMs briefing -- no exceptions. Beware of reports of marginal VFR, converging temperature/dewpoint spreads, temperature inversions or reports of winds blowing off large bodies of water: all can lead to rapidly deteriorating ceilings or visibilities you can't detect visually before you're in them.
- Make a night flight right after airplane maintenance or an annual inspection. A post-maintenance flight should be a day, VMC shakedown. Mechanics are people too, and sometimes leave controls, switches, and even more critical items out of "normal" position.
- Make the first time you fly a specific airplane a night flight. Until you fly it yourself, you don't know what works ... and what doesn't. You also want to be familiar with what's "normal" for that airplane, because abnormalities will be less obvious at night.
- Fly at night in an airplane you've not flown recently. Don't night-fly until you feel very comfortable flying that specific airplane.
- Fly at night if you have any unexplained -- and uncorrected -- electrical glitches.
- Fly past a good airport when you have a problem at dusk or in full darkness.
- Fly to the limit of the airplane's fueled range at night. There's a good reason the FARs require greater fuel reserves at night. Landing and refueling options are reduced after hours, and you may need to fly farther to make it to an alternate airport.
- Fly after a full day of work unless you get some real rest before departure. You need to know you won't be too fatigued at the end of your night flight.
Do ...
- Plan risk avoidance, and stick with your plan. It did me no good to have a plan to stay overnight if my annual wasn't finished by a certain time, and to have even brought along an overnight bag, if I didn't have the discipline to stick with my plan when my "no-go" time passed.
- Plan a night-VFR trip as if you were planning for IFR, including routes, minimum altitudes for each flight segment, alternate airports and added fuel reserves.
- Use your checklists, even when you are comfortable in the airplane. Complacency can be worse than unfamiliarity, and complacency can kill -- especially at night.
- Actively monitor electrical load and alternator/generator output throughout the flight. Divert and land at the nearest suitable airport if an electrical problem arises.
- Crosscheck vacuum gauges and other instruments frequently, and land quickly if a failure occurs.
- Plan your fuel burn and check that fuel remaining is as expected at waypoints along your flight. Recompute "fuel remaining" at the destination regularly. Divert and land at the nearest suitable airport if fuel reserves drop below legal -- and safe -- limits.
- Perform a "blind cockpit check" before takeoff. In Air Force flight screening, we weren't allowed to solo before we could sit in the cockpit and immediately touch any indicator or control on command -- while blindfolded. Develop this level of comfort with the airplane before you fly it at night.
- Practice your emergency checklists. You need to be ready to flawlessly accomplish the engine troubleshooting, maximum glide and off-airport landing checklists should for any reason power be interrupted in flight.
- Cancel any night flight when you are not completely confident the airplane -- and you -- are airworthy.
Nighttime Engine FailuresThere's an old saw about engine failures at night: If the engine quits, turn on the landing light. If you don't like what you see, turn off the landing light. Many pilots feel night, single-engine flight is too risky. Others say the engine doesn't know it's dark outside, and it's not more likely to quit. That's true, but it's also true that most multiengine airplanes have better electrical and other system redundancy than most single-engine airplanes. If engine reliability itself is what worries you, however, you can avoid the greatest likelihood of engine failure by practicing good fuel management. My research of NTSB reports shows that well over three-fourths of all nighttime engine failures result from either fuel starvation (running out of fuel in the tank feeding the engine and not switching to another tank with fuel in it before hitting the ground) or fuel exhaustion (truly "running out of gas"). Whether you're flying a single-engine airplane or a twin, to avoid the most likely engine failure:
- Take off with sufficient fuel to make your destination plus a very comfortable reserve.
- Lean the mixture to obtain the expected fuel flow at your selected cruise-power setting.
- Monitor the fuel burn in flight by as many means as possible (fuel burn x time; fuel gauges; trim feel as fuel burns from one tank to another; fuel totalizer if installed) and consider landing at a nearby airport if your fuel state becomes ambiguous because of conflicting indications. Remember, "book" fuel flow is a prediction; "actual" fuel burn is what's really important.
- Follow a strict, written schedule for fuel management (switching from one fuel tank to another in cruise).
- Observe all fuel-systems limitations that apply to the aircraft. Know how much fuel you can't use, and be sure to arrive at destination (or your alternate) with enough fuel in a tank that's approved for use during landing.
- Visually check for fuel streaming back from loose or leaky fuel caps -- periodically shine your flashlight outside to check. Pilots of high-wing airplanes can look for fuel droplets or mist off the wing's trailing edge behind the fuel caps and around fuel-strainer drains.
- Switch tanks near a lighted airport just in case a plugged fuel vent or other hazard prevents "good" fuel from reaching your engine.
- Recheck your estimated time of arrival (ETA) regularly to account for unexpected headwinds, and recalculate fuel requirements as the ETA changes. Don't hesitate to land early if you're eating into your preplanned fuel reserve.
Night Risk ManagementThere's a lot more to know about night flight, including a good section in the Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8030-3A), Chapter 10. Using that knowledge safely hinges on your ability to manage the risks of night flying. Fly safe, and have fun!

'Get a lawyer!' Sun tells developers
Pick a license. Any license
"People struggle with what open source means, because there are all these licenses," said James Gosling Wednesday, as Sun unveiled two more.
It brings the number of Sun Java™ licenses to four. Sun calls this "simplifying" the process - and acknowledges that the current community source license, SCSL, is horrendously complicated. It will probably be downplayed in favor of the others, Sun said today.
Sun didn't issue a press release on these important changes, and at the time of writing hadn't updated its licensing web page. But by engaging in a telepathic communion with the hive mind of the 'blogosphere'*, this is what we discovered.
A new commercial license called the JDL will be introduced, with the intention of succeeding the SCSL. Another, the JIUL or Java Internal Use License, simply requires compatibility "on the honor system" - in other words, at your site. It's intended to allow developers to make a fix and deploy it internally. The Sun Java Research License, introduced a year ago, will be more widely used. "Sun expects to start gently, graduating contributors to larger tasks as it gets to know them," we were told, telepathically.
The intention is to overcome a long-standing bugbear, which is that there is no easy and quick way to fix Java code. The community process is for specifications. And using the SCSL community license, Sun executives agreed today (perhaps using some telepathic channel of their own), is cumbersome and not appropriate to everyone. So the moves today, which Sun dubs 'Project Peabody', is intended to allow more people to see code, do their own fixes, all the while ensuring compatibility.
But which license is right for me, you're asking? Right now it shouldn't be too hard to tell. But there may be problems ahead.
The enormous drag on the US economy of maintaining a class of lawyers - over a million, at the last count - has been noticed before. Americans who live abroad are pleasantly astonishedto discover the rest of the world gets by without quite so much lawyertime.
"Legal services are drawing the blood out of the US economy," a former Nokia, now Intel VP told The Register. "'Odd' is the word - it's not entirely natural."
Quite so.
But going from one main license to three runs the risk of complicating things enormously. And licenses tend to breed like topsy, especially when lawyers are in charge. See, for example, how Creative Commons has "simplified" copyright by giving the perplexed author the choice of a dozen combinations. Which one is the right one for you? Better ask a lawyer.
That's the only solution we have until the invention of mechanical robo-lawyers which work at great speed, and never ask for weekends off, or tenure. So we wondered if splitting one license into three wasn't just moving the complexity around the room - we'd still keep bumping into it?
Sun assured us, we were relieved to hear, that the number of licenses would at most be three or four.
James Gosling said this was a necessity, anyway.
"We need lawyers - lawyers are unavoidable," he told us.
We disagree, and wonder how many GPL developers have a lawyer, real or virtual, as they tap away at their keyboards at 3am. Probably very few. We'll ring around and check, and to be fair to Gosling, he probably wasn't thinking of lone coders.
However if you start believing this proposition, there's only one destination you can possibly arrive at.
A fellow Sun executive bravely, er, clarified Gosling with some good sense:
"We hope to reduce the number of lawyers you need," he said.
And we hope he's right. ®
Bootnote: No, it was just a good old fashioned email.

Highlights: Seattle 2-0 Vancouver
SEATTLE, WA - Playing their third match in this year's Cascadia Cup, Vancouver Whitecaps FC (10W-9L-7D) suffered a 2-0 away defeat to Pacific Northwest rivals Seattle Sounders FC (11W-6L-7D) in Major League Soccer on Saturday afternoon.
Second-half goals by substitute Fredy Montero and Eddie Johnson gave the home side the victory in front of 55,718 fans, which included over 1,500 supporters from Vancouver, at CenturyLink Field. Playing with an altered line-up from midweek, the 'Caps looked solid early on before Seattle took control of proceedings during this 115th all-time competitive meeting between these Interstate 5 adversaries.
Victory for Seattle takes them three points clear of Vancouver and into third place in the MLS Western Conference standings. It also takes Sounders FC level on four points with Portland Timbers at the top of the three-club Cascadia Cup standings.
Rennie was forced into playing a very different line-up from Wednesday's home loss to FC Dallas. Though the Scottish tactician had players back from international duty, the late news of Barry Robson's suspension meant a total of four changes had to be made to his starting XI in The Emerald City.
Despite the changes, Whitecaps FC showed no effects of being overawed by the large crowd, as the visitors imposed themselves on their hosts by creating several chances in the first half.
Fresh back from his senior international debut with Jamaica in midweek, Darren Mattocks caused the Seattle backline problems. The youngster created two fine chances, with his best effort rolling across the face of the Sounders FC goal around the midway point of the opening half.
While Carlyle Mitchell and Andy O'Brien looked assured at the back for Vancouver, Gershon Koffie and Kenny Miller went close to opening up the Rave Green with chances before the break. Though they struggled in spells, Seattle created first-half chances that forced Whitecaps FC goalkeeper Joe Cannon to make saves on strikes from Johnson and midfielder Brad Evans. Then on 38 minutes, Alex Caskey was unable to find the target for the home side.
BLOG: The silver lining of a tough day in Seattle
While the Blue and White would have been pleased with their efforts to halftime, it was Seattle that made the right adjustments and look the stronger side after the break. Osvaldo Alonso had two chances for Sounders FC that Cannon and Mitchell had to block away, while an unmarked Johnson missed the target at close range on 53 minutes.
The turning point of this derby contest arrived after the hour mark when Seattle's talented Colombian Montero entered the match for Caskey. On 64 minutes, his presence proved decisive, as the South American scored his eighth goal of the season, converting Jeff Parke's knockdown of a Mauro Rosales' free kick in the Vancouver box for 1-0.
It was a disappointing goal to concede for Whitecaps FC, and it forced the visitors to press forward in search of an equalizer. Alain Rochat just missed the target with a header from a Young-Pyo Lee cross on 67 minutes, while Mattocks found the back of the Seattle net on 81 minutes. However, the 'Caps striker was adjudged to have fouled Parke before converting Dane Richards' fine cross in front of the Sounders FC goal.
Having been in numerous positions to score on Saturday, Johnson eventually found the scoresheet with his club-leading 11th goal of the season on 87 minutes. Alonso found an unmarked Evans on the right flank with a forward ball. His low cross allowed a streaking Johnson to slot home at the far post and secure a two-goal victory for Seattle.
It was a disheartening way for Whitecaps FC to fall to defeat to their arch-rivals in The Emerald City, but they will have the next week to try and end a two-match losing streak when they visit another Cascadia Cup rival in Portland for a second time this season on Saturday night.

Today is the anniversary of Henrietta's death in 1931.
She had just turned 17 a few days earlier.
I believe this is Henrietta on the left. I know that the other three people in this picture are Henrietta's mother, Susie Taylor Krueger, (back center) and her two sisters, Tiny (front) and Marie (right). They are standing beside the Krueger home on West Main Street in Mt. Vernon. (Granted she looks older than 17.)
I believe Henrietta is 2nd from left in this photo. Again, the other three are known — Anna Rose Taylor (the Krueger girls' young aunt), Tiny and Marie.
In both cases, there is simply no one else in the family this could be.

Rascal Flatts and Natasha Bedingfield Perform 'Easy' at 2011 CMA Awards
Rascal Flatts took the stage at the 2011 CMA Awards to perform their current hit, 'Easy,' which was complete with the song's duet partner Natasha Bedingfield, who made her CMA Awards debut this year.
The song's beautiful musical arrangement included a full orchestra that backed the band, consisting of violins and the cellos, among other instruments which were in-sync with the orange and red light show that bounced off the backdrop of the stage set. The sound was rounded out with the addition of the amazing musicianship of the band's Jay DeMarcus on bass and Joe Don Rooney on guitar.
Bedingfield's vocals were as as angelic as her beautiful black and rose-colored gown that made the singer look as if she had just stepped off the movie screen. Lead vocalist Gary LeVox's smooth tone set the bar for the night's male performers, which was on par with some of the best in the business. The blend of the two star's voices made for a moving performance that brought the room to its feet following the tune's dynamic closure.

How to use Uboot and 126.96.36.199 firmimg.bin (ppc)
- 1 Prerequisites
- 2 boot to 3 blink mode -> EM Mode
- 3 login with user root and no password
- 4 create partitions with fdisk
- 5 format the partitions
- 6 mount the partitions
- 7 ftp over the image of your choice to /mnt/hda3
- 8 untar the image (which i assume you ftp`ed over to /mnt/hda3) to /mnt/hda1
- 10 reboot
boot to 3 blink mode -> EM Mode
login with user root and no password
connect via telnet to 192.168.11.150 (sometimes it seems that DHCP works)
create partitions with fdisk
(this part needs a little work so it looks like this: http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/Custom_Partitions_on_the_LS_Pro#HowTo_setup_the_internal_HDD)
/dev/hda1 -> linux /dev/hda2 -> swap /dev/hda3 -> linux
format the partitions
mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1 mkswap /dev/hda2 mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda3
Note: this is for the standard layout (actually there are more partitions which we do not know what they do but we don`t need them) which the prepared images will work with. if someone wants to format the data partition to a different filesystem or different partition layout he needs to modify /etc/fstab in the image after untaring...but that comes later)
mount the partitions
if standard partition layout + filesystems use "mount_disk", if different then mount the partitions manually. mount_disk mounts /dev/hda1 to /mnt/hda1 and /dev/hda3 to /mnt/hda3
ftp over the image of your choice to /mnt/hda3
host: 192.168.11.150 (sometimes it seems to me that dhcp works in EM Mode sometimes?) user: operator pass: operator
transfer the image of your choice in form of a tmpimage.tgz to /mnt/hda3. In case you only have a image.dat from the original firmwares/openlink/freelink/genlink check the downloadsection if there is a tmpimage.tgz available and use it if yes...if no create one yourself by unzipping the image.dat with the right password (all passwords mentioned here: Create_a_custom_firmware_image#Collected_passwords)
untar the image (which i assume you ftp`ed over to /mnt/hda3) to /mnt/hda1
cd /mnt/hda1 OPTIONAL: rm -r * (in case you want to switch the OS and not reinstall it from scratch) tar -xzvf ../hda3/tmpimage.tgz
Only if you use non standard partition layouts or different filesystems than ext3
Non-standard filesystem on data partition only
In case you use a non standard filesystem on the data partition (3rd partition) you need to modify /mnt/hda1/etc/fstab to fit the changes.
Non-standard partition layout
In case you use a non standard partition layout there are several things that need to be done. UBoot expects kernels + initrds in the folder /boot on the first partition. and uboot only can read ext2/ext3. so in case someone wants to move to XFS/JFS on the OS-partitions (which for example is then on /dev/hda2 instead of /dev/hda1) it is needed to modify
- uboot variables so it searches for the kernel + initrd directly on the first partition (like on the arm9 boxes) and not in /boot, also to make sure boots to the second partition instead of the first one
- modify /etc/fstab so the second partition is mounted to / and first partition is mounted to /boot . notice that you need a 2.6 kernel later and that means that the entries in /etc/fstab need to be some like /dev/sdaX and not /dev/hdaX (this difference was introduced with 2.6)
- put a recent 2.6-kernel on the first partition in uboot format (uimage). make sure it is a kernel which includes the support for the non-ext2/3-filesystem INSIDE the kernel. the kernel modules themselves are stored on the partition which cannot be mounted without the kernel support for the filesystem.
just execute
and reboot. normally it defaults to 1-blink mode which means it tries to boot from hddrootfs and kernel in /boot

Help! Gay Activists Force Me to Defend ... Ann Coulter!!!
When did gay men lose all sense of irony?
I'm second to none in my dislike of Ann Coulter. She uses sarcasm in place of reasoned argument. She constantly takes the most extreme right-wing positions and then acts as though anyone that disagrees with her is beneath contempt. She's hateful, she foments hate, and she radiates hate.
So why am I defending her tweet? Let's examine the evidence. Here's the tweet in question, in full: "Last Thursday was national 'coming out' day. This Monday is national 'disown your son' day."
For this, she has been excoriated on Facebook, on various blogs and, inevitably, on the universal circle-jerk Twitter universe. I give GLAAD credit for recognizing it as a joke. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Discrimination (wisely, in my mind) used her tweet to tout Spirit Day acceptance of LGBT youth.
Again, there are many, many negative things to say about Coulter. Among her multitude of sins, however, homophobia is not one of them. Her tweet, I believe, was meant to make fun of those mouth breathers who disown their gay children.
Coulter has even been a "friend to Dorothy." Admittedly, it's only within the confines of GOProud, a group with which I probably disagree at least as much as with Coulter. But it's worth pointing out that her friendship with the group has cost her some friends on the fringe Right, and she's employed her brand of withering sarcasm against these morons.
Humor can be an effective tool, even (especially?) when used by those one wouldn't normally associate with our cause.
Hate on me if you want, but here I must defend Ann.
Wow, that was like having a tooth pulled. So be it.

What I have just tried is make a message where I don't use the <enter> key inbetween sentences and let IE wrap the text in the input box, this seems to cause the problem here on my side. When I use <enter> after each sentence, then I seem to be able to generate a message that runs way out of the input box, without the strange scroll/jump behaviour. Maybe this helps in finding/solving the problem.

edit 2:
Seems to be a bug in Internet Explorer 8 that causes this behavior when the textarea size is set by CSS. Forcing IE8 to emulate IE7 should take care of it - I see some other forums do this, and I don't have the problem there.

Re: It Had to Be Felt #34: Suganuma Morito: The Calligrapher

The second was (I think this is what its called) suwari waza ryotetori yonkyo. I was having trouble with technique with my partner and Suganuma Shihan come by to show us. He grabbed me by both my wrists and applied yonkyo. The shock ran up my arms and locked my elbows, I made my best "Popeye" face in agony and fell over backwards. I am one of the people who yonkyo is difficult to apply and Suganuma shihan nailed me as soon as he grabbed me.
Thanks for reminding me - this is one of his signature techniques, and I have no idea how he does it... Here is a one handed version:
As you say, uke has elbows locked, shoulders lifted immediately, and yet Suganuma sensei's wrists are not rigid or seemingly being subjected to huge forces - and yet resistance is futile!
Time for another round of research on this one...

Before I do a preview of the games, I want to profile some of the questions I think each team must answer to win their conference championship.
1. Can Clemson Mount Multiple Scoring Drives?
The guys over at From The Rumble Seat did an interesting analysis of Clemson scoring drives.
I won't go much into the details because they do a much better job explaining than I could. But the gist is that the Tigers have had difficulty putting the ball in the end zone when they don't get a kick return.
In the first game this season, the Tigers only had two drives both coming in the third quarter netting 10 points. The other scores were on a one play, 63 yard pass and 3 plays, 80 yards with 77 of those yards coming on third down.
2. Can Clemson Stop The Zone Read Option?
Georgia Tech doesn't run the exact same zone read option that South Carolina ran from the shotgun, but the reads by the QB are very, very similar.
It has been much discussed how the Tiger Defense slowed down Ga Tech last time, but the Yellow Jackets still got over 300 yards rushing.
Shakin The Southland has been profiling Paul Johnson's spread option offense all week and has some stuff on ways to defend it.
But it will come down to how much penetration the defensive line can get and how well the Tigers tackle.
3. Can DeAndre McDaniel Take Away The Deep Ball?
Clemson's safety intercepted Josh Nesbitt twice back in September and has continued his ball hawking play all season.
The real test here will be if Clemson needs McDaniel to play in the box to stop the run.
If he does, then the deep ball will be open. If not, then expect GT to throw short much more which goes against their passing game philosophy.
4. What is Clemson's Mental State After Losing To Arch Rival South Carolina?
I thought Dabo Swinney had a good perspective on the loss last week and the game this weekend. Swinney said the Tigers have beaten the Gamecocks many, many times, but haven't won an ACC title in a long, long time.
But can he get that mentality through to his team? It is a lot easier said than done.

Milky Way's Heart IV
GHEZ: The picture that we now have is there is, without a question, a large, supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, and that it is consuming very little material.
UCLA astronomer Andrea Ghez is studying the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The black holes at the hearts of some galaxies are surrounded by big, hot, bright disks of gas. But the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is quiet. Something is happening there, but not much.
GHEZ: You could say that rather than having a huge feast, this is a black hole that's having a little snack. You can see a little bit of light emerging from the very center and it's flickering on a short time scale, so it's like a little Christmas light.
But about a century ago as seen from Earth, it might have devoured a passing star, staging a pyrotechnic display that was brighter than a supernova. Mark Morris, who's also at UCLA, explains:
MORRIS: We're seeing evidence that there was a tremendous flash of X-rays, one or a few hundred years ago, near the center of our galaxy. We can't really pinpoint where, but it could easily have been the central supermassive black hole eating a star. That's the kind of flash you would get if the black hole ate a star. It should happen actually once every 10 or 20 thousand years according to the current estimates, and that would be a really fantastic display, because it would put out about as much energy as 10 supernovae when that happens. It's a really quite a flashy show.
More about the galaxy's flashy heart tomorrow.

Rolf Harris could be sent to jail for a decade when he is sentenced in a London court for indecently assaulting four girls in the UK.
The 84-year-old will be sentenced on Friday at Southwark Crown Court, where he was convicted of 12 indecent assault charges on Monday.
Harris's youngest victim was just seven or eight years old when she was attacked in the late 1960s at a community centre near Portsmouth.
She'd gone on stage to get the performer's autograph, but was "aggressively and forcefully" groped between her legs, the victim told the court in mid-May.
Harris is the second person to be convicted under Operation Yewtree, which was set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
Publicist Max Clifford in May was jailed for eight years for indecently assaulting four young women between 1977 and 1984.
Former detective turned investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas played a key role in exposing Savile's crime through his 2012 Exposure documentary.
Williams-Thomas on Thursday tweeted a link to the sentencing remarks in the Clifford case with the comment "a useful guidance".
After Harris was found guilty, the journalist - who was in court during the Australian's eight-week trial - said the fact one of Harris's victims was so young was an aggravating factor.
"Yes, he's an old man, but I expect he's probably going to receive a sentence somewhere around 10 years," Williams-Thomas told the ABC.
"He came here as a man who was completely defiant. He didn't accept any of the charges against him."
The jury in the Harris trial was unanimous when finding the Australian guilty of 12 indecent assaults against four girls between 1968 and 1986.
Each count carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail.
In the past few days, Harris has been spotted getting his affairs in order at his home in Bray, west of London.
Justice Nigel Sweeney on Monday made it clear the 84-year-old can expect to go to jail.
"Given the conviction on all 12 counts, it's inevitable that the type of sentence uppermost in the court's mind is a custodial sentence," the judge said.
Justice Sweeney will begin sentencing Harris at 10am local time (1900 AEST) on Friday.

Please select your meditation time
Start Meditating
Conclude Meditation
From Fr John Main OSB, "Letter Ten, December 18, 1979," LETTERS FROM THE HEART (New York: Crossroad, 1988), pp. 119-20.
Christmas is a feast that can open the hearts of all of us to the presence of Christ. It puts before us the great qualities of innocence and hope that we need if we are to awaken to his light, and it fills us with confidence because it tells us that the old age has ended.
An excerpt from John Main OSB, "Space to Be," MOMENT OF CHRIST (New York:Continuum, 1998), pp. 92-93.
To know ourselves, to understand ourselves and to . . .get ourselves and our problems in perspective, we simply must make contact with our spirit.
From Laurence Freeman OSB, "Advent Message: Week 1"
Stay Awake. This is the teaching of Jesus in the gospel for the first Sunday of Advent – the preparation time for Christmas.
I have been traveling in S America and Asia in the past few weeks and have seen the various effects of the global financial crisis.
Fr. Laurence Freeman, OSB, "Dearest Friends," The WCCM International Newsletter, October 1997, pp. 2-7.
St Anthony of the Desert once spoke to his monks about the judgment day which they would each confront in their moment of death. He told them that they would not be judged on how far they had become like him, or like any of the other great masters of the desert, but to what degree they had become truly themselves.
An excerpt from Laurence Freeman OSB, "Understanding Faith," in FIRST SIGHT: The Experience of Faith (London: Continuum, 2011) pp. 14-15.
Confusing faith with belief and so separating them traps us in the Law—within things we can define, regulations we can enforce, specific creedal formulas that justify us in rejecting others.
An excerpt from Laurence Freeman OSB, "Dearest Friends," WCCM International Newsletter, December 2000.
The holiness of minute particulars, as Blake called it, is the sacredness of all incarnation: when words take flesh, faith becomes active in love and promises made are kept.
An excerpt from "Dearest Friends," Laurence Freeman OSB in the Newsletter of the World Community for Christian Meditation, Vol 32, No. 3, September 2008, p. 4.
When the force of faith is set free in the human person it impels us to experience reality beyond words, images, and ideas. We then discover that the filters of metaphor, however useful and necessary they may be at one level, can also (and need to) be deactivated if faith is to grow.
An excerpt from John Main OSB, "The Unreality of Fear," THE HEART OF CREATION (New York: Continuum. 1998), pp. 24-25.
As we read the gospel we see that a choice is set before us. The alternative is between love and fear. Fear is destructive and corrosive, whether it is the fear of disease, war or famine or whether it is fear of supernatural, angry vengeful gods who must be placated by compulsive rituals.
From John Main OSB, "The Silence of Love," WORD MADE FLESH (Norwich: Canterbury Press, 2006), pp. 29-30.
Language is so weak in explaining the fullness of the mystery. That is why the absolute silence of meditation is so supremely important. We do not try to think of God, talk to God or imagine God.
An excerpt from Laurence Freeman OSB, "Understanding Faith," in FIRST SIGHT: The Experience of Faith (London: Continuum, 2011), pp. 12-14.
A new understanding of faith demolishes the prison of belief. It liberates religious people into a world of compassionate action expressed in the parable of the Good Samaritan.

LOS ANGELES — As part of an agreement with city officials, the embattled mayor of San Diego, Bob Filner, was expected to resign on Friday, ending weeks of political turmoil over allegations that he sexually harassed more than a dozen women, officials close to the mediation effort said Thursday.
Mr. Filner's resignation would end his eight-month tenure as the city's first elected Democratic mayor in more than 20 years and force a new and expensive election to pick a replacement.
A lawyer for the former aide to Mr. Filner whose lawsuit against him and the city brought the sexual harassment charges to light said Thursday that she had not agreed to any settlement and expected to move forward with the suit.
Local officials, including two City Council members and the city attorney, were part of a three-day mediation effort led by a retired federal judge, and they announced the deal late Wednesday evening. Mr. Filner, 70, was seen taking boxes out of his office shortly afterward and did not make any public appearances on Thursday.
The Council is expected to meet Friday afternoon to approve the deal, which is said to include paying for at least part of Mr. Filner's legal fees in the sexual harassment suit. Eighteen women have come forward in the last six weeks to accuse him of sexual harassment, both as mayor and during the 20 years he spent in Washington as a congressman representing San Diego.
The allegations against Mr. Filner include groping and forcibly kissing the women. He had consistently refused to step down, saying he had not broken the law. But calls for his resignation had grown louder in recent weeks, including demands from the entire City Council and two of the most powerful women in California, Senator Barbara Boxer and Representative Nancy Pelosi.
Organizers began collecting signatures on Sunday to force a recall election against Mr. Filner. A spokeswoman for that effort said Thursday that more than 11,000 signatures had been collected, about a tenth of what would be needed.
Jan Goldsmith, San Diego's city attorney, who had filed a complaint against Mr. Filner arguing that the city should not be required to pay for his defense or for any damages related to the sexual harassment allegations, announced the deal with the mayor late Wednesday but declined to provide any details.
"The City Council has not heard of this proposal, and our process at City Hall as well as the mediation process requires that we maintain the confidentiality of the proposal until they have heard of it," Mr. Goldsmith said.
The women who said they were harassed include a retired Navy rear admiral, a great-grandmother, a university dean and Mr. Filner's former communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson, who filed the sexual harassment lawsuit against the mayor and the city. Ms. McCormack Jackson has said that Mr. Filner told her he wanted to see her naked, asked her to work without underwear and once placed his arm around her neck and dragged her around while whispering sexual comments to her.
Gloria Allred, the lawyer representing Ms. McCormack Jackson, said Thursday that she had no details of the arrangement struck between Mr. Filner and city officials, but that any resignation deal to pay for Mr. Filner's legal fees and liabilities would amount to a "callous and unholy agreement."
"It would be a slap in the face to the mayor's many victims to see him get anything from the City of San Diego," Ms. Allred said during a news conference at her Los Angeles office. "His parting gift should be good riddance instead of a handout."
Ms. Allred said that she had not agreed to any settlement on Ms. McCormack Jackson's behalf and that the city and Mr. Filner would still be defendants in the lawsuit that she expected to move forward with court hearings next month. Ms. McCormack Jackson was not at the news conference.
Gil Cabrera, a lawyer and the former chairman of the city's ethics commission, said the city would most likely defend the mayor as it would any other city employee accused of on-the-job misconduct. "Even if the person has done something wrong, it's still in the entity's best interest to control the defense and limit liability," he said.
Days after the allegations surfaced, Mr. Filner, who has a reputation as a brusque and forceful personality, announced that he would seek behavior treatment therapy at an undisclosed location. He had been widely expected to return to work this week, but he has only been seen publicly leaving his City Hall office.
James Payne, a lawyer for Mr. Filner, said in a statement Thursday that the mayor had returned to work on Wednesday, hours before the deal was announced.
If Mr. Filner resigns, a special election would be held in the next 90 days, which county officials estimate would cost $3 million to $6 million — the same as a recall election.

From the lighttpd website:
- lighttpd is a secure, fast, compliant, and very flexible web-server that has been optimized for high-performance environments. It has a very low memory footprint compared to other webservers and takes care of cpu-load. Its advanced feature-set (FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and many more) make lighttpd the perfect webserver-software for every server that suffers load problems.
Lighttpd is available in the extra repository so:
# pacman -S lighttpd
Basic Setup
The lighttpd configuration file is: Template:Filename. By default it should produce a working test page.
To check your Template:Filename for bugs you can use this command - helps finding misconfigurations very fast:
$ lighttpd -t -f /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
The default configuration file specifies Template:Filename as the document directory served.
It may be necessary to add a user and group for http if you don't already have one. That user seems to need to have permissions to write to the Template:Filename as well, so we'll make it the owner of that folder.
# groupadd http # adduser http # chown -R http /var/log/lighttpd
To test the install
# /etc/rc.d/lighttpd start # touch /srv/http/index.html # chmod 755 /srv/http/index.html # echo 'TestMe!' >> /srv/http/index.html
Then point your browser to localhost, and you should see the test page.
You may want to add lighttpd to the daemons list in Template:Filename to start the server on boot.
Examples configuration files are in Template:Filename.
Install fcgi
# pacman -S fcgi
Now you have lighttpd with fcgi support. If it was that what you wanted you're all set. People that want Ruby on Rails and/or PHP should continue. Template:Box Note
The following needs adding to the config file, Template:Filename
server.modules =+ ( "mod_fastcgi" ) server.indexfiles =+ ( "dispatch.fcgi" ) #dispatch.fcgi if rails specified server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi" #too fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" => ( "localhost" => ( "socket" => "/var/run/lighttpd/rails-fastcgi.sock", "bin-path" => "/path/to/rails/application/public/dispatch.fcgi" ) ) )
Then in Template:Filename:
include "conf.d/fastcgi.conf"
For PHP or Ruby on Rails see the next sections.
Install php and required modules (see also PHP and LAMP):
# pacman -S php php-cgi
Check that php-cgi is working Template:Codeline
PHP 5.3.1 with Suhosin-Patch (cgi-fcgi) (built: Nov 23 2009 21:12:29) Copyright (c) 1997-2009 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2009 Zend Technologies
If you get a similar output then php is installed correctly.
Note: Please keep in mind if you receive errors like No input file found after attempting to access your php files then make sure Template:Filename has the directives enabled:
cgi.fix_pathinfo=1 open_basedir = /srv/http/:/home/:/tmp/:/usr/share/pear/:/another/path:/second/path
And that the files are world readable,
# chmod -R 755
In Template:Filename add:
server.modules =+ ( "mod_fastcgi" ) server.indexfiles =+ ( "index.php" ) fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => ( "localhost" => ( "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi", "socket" => socket_dir + "/php-fastcgi.sock" ) ) )
Then in Template:Filename:
include "conf.d/fastcgi.conf"
Ruby on Rails
Install and configure FastCGI. (See #FastCGI above.)
Install ruby from [extra] and Template:Package AUR from AUR.
Follow instructions on RubyOnRails.
Generate an SSL Cert, e.g. like that:
# cd /etc/ssl/certs # openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 7300 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.pem -out /etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.pem # chmod 600 /etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.pem
Edit Template:Filename. To make lighttpd SSL-only (you probably need to set the server port to 443 as well)
ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.pem"
To enable SSL in addition to normal HTTP
$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" { ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.pem" }
If you want to serve different sites, you can change the document root inside the socket conditional:
$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" { server.document-root = "/srv/ssl" # use your ssl directory here ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.pem" # use the path where you created your pem file }
or as alternative you can use the scheme conditional to distinguish between secure and normal requests.
$HTTP["scheme"] == "https" { server.document-root = "/srv/ssl" # use your ssl directory here ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/etc/ssl/certs/lighttpd.pem" # use the path where you created your pem file }
Note that you can't use the scheme conditional around ssl.engine above, since lighttpd needs to know on what port to enable SSL.
Redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS
You should add "mod_redirect" in server.modules array in Template:Filename:
server.modules = ( ... "mod_redirect", ... }
$SERVER["socket"] == ":80" { $HTTP["host"] =~ "example.org" { url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://example.org/$1" ) server.name = "example.org" } }
$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" { ssl.engine = "enable" ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/ssl/server.pem" server.document-root = "..." }
To redirect all hosts to their secure equivalents use the following in place of the socket 80 configuration above:
$SERVER["socket"] == ":80" { $HTTP["host"] =~ "(.*)" { url.redirect = ( "^/(.*)" => "https://%1/$1" ) } }
Output Compression
In Template:Filename add
var.cache_dir = "/var/cache/lighttpd"
Then create directory for a compressed files:
# mkdir /var/cache/lighttpd/compress # chown http:http /var/cache/lighttpd/compress
Copy example configuration file:
# mkdir /etc/lighttpd/conf.d # cp /usr/share/doc/lighttpd/config/conf.d/compress.conf /etc/lighttpd/conf.d/
Add following in Template:Filename:
include "conf.d/compress.conf"
Template:Box Note Now restart your server:
# rc.d restart lighttpd
Lighttpd downloads .php files
If lighttpd downloads Template:Filename files instead of "initializing" them you probably missed to add these lines to your Template:Filename.
server.modules = ( "mod_fastcgi", ) fastcgi.server = ( ".php" => (( "bin-path" => "/usr/bin/php-cgi", #depends where your php-cgi has been installed. Default here. "socket" => "/tmp/php.socket", "max-procs" => 2, "bin-environment" => ( "PHP_FCGI_CHILDREN" => "16", "PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" => "10000" ), "bin-copy-environment" => ( "PATH", "SHELL", "USER" ), "broken-scriptfilename" => "enable" )))
Styles (CSS) not working properly
The default lighttpd config does not include a mimetype definition for CSS so when standards compliant browsers get text/html instead of text/css they get confused and nothing displays properly. To fix this add an entry for CSS.
mimetype.assign = ( ".html" => "text/html", ".txt" => "text/plain", ".jpg" => "image/jpeg", ".png" => "image/png", ".css" => "text/css" )
New lines are not needed and are only used here for readability.

The best small towns in the world for autumn travel
Some people are squeamish about traveling in summertime. Unless you can afford to travel only in air conditioned cars or airplanes, being on the road in the summer heat is hardly a very pleasant experience. This is why many people prefer to travel in autumn, when you can still enjoy sunlight but the weather is considerably milder.
And there's another pro to autumn travel – the foliage. Taking a trip to the countryside or to small, peaceful towns surrounded by a sea of red and gold leaves doesn't compare to anything else in the world. So here are some of the best small towns in the world for autumn travel. …| share this | permalink

SKF Tapered roller bearings
SKF tapered roller bearings provide top performance and service life, recognized by performance-focused customers over many years in a wide host of applications. You expect the basic load ratings in the bearing catalogues to express the relative product performance. Specialists know however that it follows a current ISO convention and simply mirrors the physical bearing dimensions. In reality bearing performance is driven to large extent by the specific internal geometry, surface finish, design optimization and precise manufacturing, which is not part of the convention and varies between the different manufacturers.
Don't take our word for the efficiency of these bearings. Discover the difference in service life for yourself.

Cambridge, MA. This is the fourth of five reflections on 3 Nephi, the book within the Book of Mormon in which Jesus most prominently appears. You can find parts one, two, and three at this site.
My goal, from the start, has been to show that one can pick up a book of another religious tradition and read it carefully, and draw some meaning from that reading, and that this reading does not require a lifetime of study, such as I have devoted to Hinduism. I expect careful reading, but try not to impose too highly elite standards. These blogs are about careful amateur reading. I don't mind the range of comments on my previous entries, even those that have been fierce and daunting. I am indeed irenic in my reading, because that is my approach, and also fits with what I have been finding in 3 Nephi. Since over and again I have recommended that readers do their own reading – the text is available in many forms — I am by no means pretending to monopolize how 3 Nephi is to be read. I read with a certain peacefulness, but others can read in the opposite way if they wish: is "polemic" still the opposite of "irenic"? I've also rarely responded to the comments that are posted, though I read every one of them. The public exchange does not seem to help, and so I almost always just let the comments speak for themselves. But I do keep getting new ideas on what to read, and while they probably will come too late for me to benefit before writing, next week, the fifth and final of my entries on 3 Nephi, I have ordered the recommended Third Nephi: An Incomparable Scripture, edited by Andrew C. Skinner and Gaye Strathearnh, and also the rather indirectly recommended Tale of Two Cities: A Comparison Between the Mormon and the Catholic Religious Experience (1980) by William Taylor. I hope these books, which the Harvard Library does not own, will arrive soon and fill out my amateur sense of the Book of Mormon and 3 Nephi in particular.
Back to the text: After the long first sermon that incorporates most of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus departs, and the community dedicates itself to prayer for a time. Jesus returns (3 Nephi 19.15), and commands them to pray all the more intensely, even as he steps aside and prays for them to his Father. The result is a greater intensity in prayer: "And it came to pass that when Jesus had thus prayed unto the Father, he came unto his disciples, and behold, they did still continue, without ceasing, to pray unto him; and they did not multiply many words, for it was given unto them what they should pray, and they were filled with desire. And it came to pass that Jesus blessed them as they did pray unto him; and his countenance did smile upon them, and the light of his countenance did shine upon them, and behold they were as white as the countenance and also the garments of Jesus; and behold the whiteness thereof did exceed all the whiteness, yea, even there could be nothing upon earth so white as the whiteness thereof. And Jesus said unto them: Pray on; nevertheless they did not cease to pray." (19.24-26) In turn, this prayer is followed by another multiplication – or creation – of bread and wine for a Eucharist, which seems to move the assembly to a kind of ecstasy - as if in the Spirit, though the Spirit seems unmentioned - in the presence of Christ: "Now, when the multitude had all eaten and drunk, behold, they were filled with the Spirit; and they did cry out with one voice, and gave glory to Jesus, whom they both saw and heard." (20.9)
At this point, Jesus quotes a number of passages from the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament: Isaiah 52, Micah 5, Isaiah 54, and Malachi 3-4. It is not possible or necessary to quote extensively from these texts to get a feel for the teaching communicated here – check your Bible – but two may be of help. Jesus quotes fierce, dire words from Micah 5, on the coming vengeance and fury, including these: "And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all thy strongholds; And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy land, and thou shalt have no more soothsayers; Thy graven images I will also cut off, and thy standing images out of the midst of thee, and thou shalt no more worship the works of thy hands; And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee; so will I destroy thy cities. And it shall come to pass that all lyings, and deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and priestcrafts, and whoredoms, shall be done away. For it shall come to pass, saith the Father, that at that day whosoever will not repent and come unto my Beloved Son, them will I cut off from among my people, O house of Israel; And I will execute vengeance and fury upon them, even as upon the heathen, such as they have not heard." (Micah 5.11-15, as quoted in 3 Nephi 21.15-21).
He then adds some new words of hope for those who repent: "But if they will repent and hearken unto my words, and harden not their hearts, I will establish my church among them, and they shall come in unto the covenant and be numbered among this the remnant of Jacob, unto whom I have given this land for their inheritance. And they shall assist my people, the remnant of Jacob, and also as many of the house of Israel as shall come, that they may build a city, which shall be called the New Jerusalem. And then shall they assist my people that they may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem. And then shall the power of heaven come down among them; and I also will be in the midst…" (21.22-25) At the end of Jesus' quotation of the prophecies, he concludes with Malachi 3-4, the text which stands at the end of the Old Testament, in the Christian ordering of the text, ending with the words: "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord; And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse." (Malachi 4.5-6, as cited in 3 Nephi 25.5-6)
Now it may seem most peculiar to the Christian reader that Jesus is quoting the prophets, and quoting them as predictive of the future, not simply as finished, fulfilled in himself. But in the "ecstatic" context of this second teaching by Jesus in 3 Nephi 19-26, the point seems to be that none of the words of the Bible are merely past; they continue to voice the future, the ups and downs of the human race, the patience and wrath of God with his people, and the never quite extinguished hope for salvation. This reminds me of many a retreat I have been on over the years, and the many more Sunday readings I have heard, in Advent and throughout the year, that use ancient prophecies to illumine our present and our future: the "old words" of scripture are ever new, telling us about where we and our world are going "today." The old texts, if truly the word of God, are always about the future too. 3 Nephi deflects one criticism – that Jesus is somehow superfluous, as if nothing has changed – by picturing him as speaking the words: all the prophecies are his words, words of the Word. 3 Nephi does not intend to leave Jesus behind.
3 Nephi 26 brings the second sermon (there is a brief third one, that I will not get into here) to a conclusion with several interesting points. First, there is a powerful confession of the totality of the revelation given by Jesus: "And he did expound all things, even from the beginning until the time that he should come in his glory — yea, even all things which should come upon the face of the earth, even until the elements should melt with fervent heat, and the earth should be wrapt together as a scroll, and the heavens and the earth should pass away" (26.3) There follows a prediction of a last judgment, but then another confession of how overwhelming the teaching of Jesus is: "And now there cannot be written in this book even a hundredth part of the things which Jesus did truly teach unto the people." (26.6) There is a Johannine aura to many of the words of Jesus in 3 Nephi, and these particular protestations seem to echo the end of the Gospel according to John: "This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true. But there are also many other things that Jesus did; if every one of them were written down, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written." (John 21:24-25) Mormon, recording all this, repeats this idea in his own words: "And now there cannot be written in this book even a hundredth part of the things which Jesus did truly teach unto the people; But behold the plates of Nephi do contain the more part of the things which he taught the people. And these things have I written, which are a lesser part of the things which he taught the people; and I have written them to the intent that they may be brought again unto this people, from the Gentiles, according to the words which Jesus hath spoken…" (26.6-8)
The chapter ends with the spectacle of the children testifying: "And it came to pass that he did teach and minister unto the children of the multitude of whom hath been spoken, and he did loose their tongues, and they did speak unto their fathers great and marvelous things, even greater than he had revealed unto the people; and he loosed their tongues that they could utter." (26.14) And this in turn seems to echo Jesus' words in the Gospel: "But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the amazing things that he did, and heard the children crying out in the temple, 'Hosanna to the Son of David', they became angry and said to him, 'Do you hear what these are saying?' Jesus said to them, 'Yes; have you never read, "Out of the mouths of infants and nursing babies you have prepared praise for yourself"?'" (Matthew 21.15-16)
Enough of quotes within quotes in this very long, too long blog. But I hope to have given the willing reader enough to think about, even as you may – as you should – read 3 Nephi yourself and assess what I've included and left out. I will offer just a few concluding comments in my next and very last excursion into 3 Nephi, the book that was recently called, as a reader points out, "the Holy of Holies of the Book of Mormon."

Orange France says 'testicules' to unlocked-iPhone-not-unlocked claim
Of course you can use an unlocked iPhone anywhere, carrier states
Orange France has denied a claim that the unlocked iPhones it is offering are not actually unlocked but were simply set to work with any French carrier SIM card rather than, say, a SIM purchased in the UK.
The claim was made by website iPhone Atlas late last week. Without stating how it knew this to be the case, the site said Orange-unlocked handsets will only work with non-Orange SIM cards in France.
"In other words, you can't take your French, 'unlocked' iPhone to Spain, the United States, or anywhere else, pop in a foreign SIM card, and make calls on a local carrier — you're still stuck paying international roaming fees to your French carrier," the site claimed.
Nonsense, said Orange.
"Once legally (through Orange Customer Service) unlocked, the iPhone will operate with any SIM card, including foreign ones," a company spokesman subsequently told website iLounge. "But some applications like 'Visual Voicemail' may not work abroad."
The spokesman also claimed that far fewer than 20 per cent of the iPhone sold so far by Orange have been so unlocked. No great surprise, that, given the higher price of the unlocked handset - €749 ($1082/£536) to €399 ($576/£285) for the locked one - and the fast-moving efforts by hackers and coders to unlock the phone for free.
Orange actually charges €649 for an unlocked iPhone, plus a €100 unlocking fee if the process is carried out during the six months after the handset was purchased. After that, unlocking is free, Orange told Register Hardware last month.

Augusta National Golf Club (WFXG) - A 50-year-old man was arrested Saturday after Richmond County deputies said he tried to enter Augusta National Golf Club in his vehicle.
Joseph John Murphy tried to enter one of the gates around 8:40 p.m., Sgt. Glen Rahn said. He was told he was not allowed to enter and then left.
About 10 minutes later Murphy returned in his vehicle, bypassed the security guard and was stopped shortly after by a marked Richmond County patrol vehicle.
Murphy was arrested and charged with criminal trespass, Rahn said. Murphy is not a local resident.
There was no damage to property at Augusta National.

The Stevens Summer Adds Pre-Med Program to Pre-College Offerings
Medicine is one of the most secure, lucrative, rewarding and highly-respected professions, and Stevens has a tremendous legacy of preparing undergraduate students with the strong foundation in science and technology to become successful medical professionals.
Beginning this summer, Stevens is offering future physicians, biomedical engineers and healthcare managers the opportunity to jumpstart their careers as just juniors in high school. The university is now accepting applications to the brand-new Pre-Med Science and Engineering offering within its renowned series of pre-college summer programs, The Stevens Summer.
The Stevens Summer is a unique residential pre-college experience that exposes talented high school students from all over the world to a range of potential majors and disciplines, gives access to Stevens' distinguished faculty members and state-of-the-art research facilities, and provides an early taste of college life.
With programs in Engineering and Science (ECOES), Business, Computer Science and Multimedia, students learn first-hand what it is like to work within these fields by attending lectures, conducting hands-on experiments, participating in corporate site visits, and interacting with industry professionals, including many Stevens alumni.
"The Stevens Summer helps high school students make a very informed decision about a particular area they may be interested in pursuing as an undergraduate student," said Frank Fisher, associate professor of Mechanical Engineering.
The new Pre-Med program, which will be introduced for the first time in the summer of 2013, is catered to high school students who are thinking about pursuing a career in medicine. In the small, collaborative program led by Stevens science and engineering faculty members, doctoral researchers and student counselors, high school participants will explore traditional medical disciplines through engaging lectures and a hands-on medical research project.
The Pre-Med program will include one session that focuses specifically on Pre-Med Science, another dedicated to Pre-Med Engineering, and one dual session.
The Pre-Med Science track will provide an inside look at Stevens' science curriculum including lectures and laboratory experiences that touch on cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology, physiology, immunology and analytical chemistry. Students will work on advanced and challenging projects involving DNA analysis, isolation of proteins, gene transfer, and much more.
"A scientific research background is the most popular preparation to gain access to medical school and to become a physician," said Philip Leopold, director of the Department of Chemistry, Chemical Biology, & Biomedical Engineering at Stevens.
As more and more medical schools welcome engineering students into their classrooms, the Pre-Med Engineering track will expose students to concept of "evidence-based medicine." The track will introduce the key elements of biomedical engineering – the discipline at the interface of human physiology and traditional engineering – and include modules on advanced topics like neural control of prosthetics, spinal mechanics and robotic surgery.
"Evidence-based medicine recognizes that the science behind medicine has advanced to the point that medical interventions should now be a matter of engineering," said Leopold. "In increasing numbers, students are choosing training in engineering as an approach to a career in medicine."
Like the other Stevens Summer programs, academics are only one aspect of the Pre-Med program. Students will also tour Stevens' cutting-edge scientific laboratories. They'll visit local biotech firms, biomedical device companies and hospitals to view recent advances in medical engineering and meet healthcare professionals who are advancing medical science. They'll attend college preparatory workshops, which will prepare them for the admissions process. For fun, they'll explore Stevens' beautiful campus on the Hudson River, partake in many social activities like dodgeball tournaments and movie nights, and experience the excitement of dormitory life alongside their peers.
Past participants of the Stevens Summer include many Stevens alumni, as well as relatives of Stevens alumni, who rave about their experiences and memories of the program.
"The ECOES program allowed me to explore many different facets of engineering," said Rachel Gianforte, whose alumnus father Greg Gianforte '83 recently donated $10 million to Stevens for a new academic complex. "The professors were able to communicate complex ideas in simple language and then demonstrate those same ideas using fun, hands-on activities. I also made some good friends who I have kept in touch with. Now I am confident I want to pursue engineering and am more sure of which specific areas I might study because of my experience at ECOES."
"The ECOES summer program is what drew me to Stevens and a career in engineering, and it has helped me immensely in both my education and career," added Sara Puleio '09, who today – as a professional electrical and software engineer – maintains involvement in the Stevens Summer as a robotics instructor.
Many current Stevens students also attended the Stevens Summer when they were in high school, and many students who recently attended the Stevens Summer have already been accepted into Stevens' incoming class of 2017.
"What I learned about Stevens and myself has definitely helped me, and the program was very valuable in helping me narrow down my college plans," said Stephen Rienzi, who will be joining Stevens as a freshman Information Systems major in the fall after attending two Stevens summer programs in 2011 and 2012.
"ECOES was a tremendous experience where I made new friends, explored new fields of engineering and had great exposure to a real working environment," added Armando Vazquez, an ECOES 2012 participant who will join as a Business major this fall.
Learn more about all of the programs of the Stevens Summer, including the new Pre-Med program, at www.stevens.edu/summer. The final application deadline is May 15, 2013.
