First the good news: There will be no shortage of champagne for your New Year's Eve celebrations. The bad news? The toast you make to ring in 2016 may be in jeopardy.
"This year has been unprecedented," said Dominique Moncomble, director of technical services at the regulatory authority Comité Interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne (CIVC), told The Telegraph. "We have been accumulating problems: we are battling the elements and disease." The region's famed vineyards were ravaged by frost, hailstorms, wet weather, and disease this year, causing a dramatic 40% decrease in the annual harvest. "This is the lowest harvest in at least 40 years," the Agriculture Ministry said while releasing the figures on Nov. 9, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.

Luckily, vintners are well prepared for such a crisis. "We built up reserves during the years when we had big harvests, which helps us deal with the caprices of nature," Thibaut le Mailloux, a spokesman for the French champagne producers association, told the magazine. Champagne takes at least 15 months to age and is often made by combining grapes from various different vintages, so the long term effect of this year's shortage isn't expected to be too drastic. In fact, producers have at least a three-year supply of grapes in reserve, Bloomberg Businessweek reports.
The grapes used to make Champagne are not the only varietals in jeopardy. All over Europe, crops have been ravaged this year, causing a 20 percent decline in the total French grape harvest, including those in the well-known wine-producing regions of Burgundy and Bordeaux. Yields are also down in Italy and England.
What's legally defined as "Champagne" comes from a specific 84,000-acre region in northeast France; everything else, technically, is just sparkling wine. An 80-year-old French law carefully maps where the grapes — pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay — can be grown. As for the quality of this year's vintage, the Champagne board told The Telegraph that it was "not yet compromised."

Howdy! There's one potential member in Stanhope I'm trying to contact, and one in Sparta who was interested months ago. With you in Ringoes, it looks like we'd be spread out pretty good. I may be somewhat centrally located to all. If I can get three players commited then I can work with that.
There's another person in our vicinity who just posted. I'm trying to contact.
I'd like at least four members to start-up. Alternate DM/GMs would be cool. I'm thinking Monday or Tuesday nights 7-10, latest, in a location central to all. Maybe a home, library, or hobby shop?
I'll keep you posted.
Dude I've been trying to find gamers for a group in Warren County for years now. 1e and a little 2e was all I played, other old TSR games too. I don't have enough local people yet. I was hoping for a central location to save everyone time & gas.

Pluggable connector system
A shortened current path, minimal voltage drop and vibration-resistance up to 20 g enable WAGO Corporation's picoMAX to change the price-to-performance ratio for PCB applications. The Pluggable Connection System employs a dual-purpose spring design that applies the force of one contact spring for strong integrity and connection strength. This results in up to 30% space reduction for wire-to-board applications, segment-leading vibration-resistance and absolute connection integrity in operating temperatures up to 125°C.
picoMAX is based on a patented male header and female connector design. The dynamic contact force from one Cr-Ni stainless steel spring clamps conductors and connects the header pin. A truncated contact bridge separates the termination unit from header pin, minimizing contact resistance for absolute signal integrity. Applications: industrial electronics such as panel meters, controllers, data loggers and consumer electronics, e.g., garage door openers.
Terminations are simple: directly insert solid or ferruled conductors. Integrated push-buttons provide terminations for strandedconductors. Select units carry gripping plates with Sliding connector release. An unlocking tool is available for units without gripping plates.
picoMAX is available in 2-12 pole configurations for wire-to-wire, wire-to-board, board-to-wire and panel feedthrough variants. It accommodates conductors 24-12 AWG and carries ratings up to 15 A/300 V. 3.5 mm, 5 mm or 7.5 mm pin spacing are available.

Phailin fizzles out in Odisha, AP; leaves behind trail of destruction
Cyclone Phailin left a trail of destruction in Odisha, destroying lakhs of homes affecting nine million people, flattening paddy fields and wrecking the vital Gopalpur and Paradip ports but human casualties were limited as close to a million people took refuge in shelters.
n both Odisha and neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, more than 900,000 people were taken to safety and housed in government buildings and temples in the country's biggest ever evacuation.
The cyclone, India's worst in 14 years, ebbed on Sunday after making landfall in Odisha's beach town of Gopalpur around 9 pm on Saturday. The storm that remained in the "very severe category" – wind speeds of 210-220 km an hour – till 2.30pm Sunday.
But, by evening it had weakened into a "deep depression", with the wind speed of 45-55 kmph and had moved northward into Jharkhand and Bihar, said the meteorology department.
Phailin (sapphire in Thai and pronounced pee-lin) affected 145,110 villages in 12 coastal districts of Odisha, where the death toll has risen to 20.
Most of the victims were crushed under falling trees. The government, however, confirmed only 14 deaths. Two deaths were reported from Andhra Pradesh, which was expected to be hit hard by the cyclone but escaped its fury.
"There are 13 deaths in Orissa and one in Andhra Pradesh. So we have been able to keep the death toll to a bare minimum," said vice chairman of the National Disaster Management Authority Marri Shashidhar Reddy.
A preliminary report by the Odisha government said 2.34 lakh mud-and-thatch homes, mostly owned by fishermen and farmers, were damaged, storm surges from the sea submerged crop in five lakh hectares, 13 electric and two BSNL mobile towers were toppled and a power grid destroyed, plunging large parts of the state in darkness.
Power supply to most districts brought on by evening barring Ganjam district that saw maximum deaths and destruction. Along the highway through the district, the countryside was ravaged.
Five lakh hectares of farmland were damaged, while 9 lakh trees were uprooted across seven coastal districts, with Ganjam again being the worst sufferer.
"Our priority was to save lives and I think we've been successful," Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik said, adding rehabilitation of the displaced people would be a "challenge".
The clean-up and rebuilding will be an expensive exercise. The all-weather Gopalpur port has suffered losses of Rs. 200 crore and building it back would cost "four times as much", port director MM Moharana said.
t is a huge blow — not just to business but also to livelihoods. The port employees 5,000 people. Some 300 km away, at the Paradip port officials are yet to assess the damage but the main building has taken a hit.
Personnel of Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force and National Disaster Response Action Force managed to clear some roads but many rural areas were still inaccessible, a government official said.
In Andhra Pradesh's Srikakulam, most of the 65,000 people who were moved to safer places had returned home by evening. Initial assessment of damages said road stretches on national highways measuring 18 kilometres and 400-km of electrical lines were damaged. Officials said paddy crop over 7,500 acres, coconut plantations over 3,200 acres, 929 acres of cashew and 46 acres of papaya plantations have been damaged.
Hundreds of mudhouses and thatched-roofed houses were blown away even as Vamsadhara, Boudha and Nagavalli rivers continued to swell.
Meanwhile, Bhubaneswar airport resumed flights on Sunday noon. Operations were on to rescue those trapped under the debris in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, where more than 3,000 personnel of National Disaster Response Force have been deployed.
More than a dozen coastal villages have been submerged by the cyclone that was classified as a Category 4 storm on a scale of 1 to 5. Eight of the 14 deaths confirmed by the government came before the cyclone. The victims were crushed under trees uprooted by gusty winds.
News of Phailin had been making headlines since it was formed in the Bay of Bengal earlier this week and churned its way across the high seas, turning into what many feared could be a repeat of the super-cyclone of 1999, which killed more than 10,000 people and left behind such destruction that took years to be undone.

This is a broad topic, and it can cover any sport, but who is your favorite announcer?
I used to enjoy Pete Gross a lot.
And as a kid growing up an Angel fan, Dick Enberg was a longtime fav. as well as Neihouse.
But my nominee is Vin Scully.
He is a master at calling a game 60 years later he is still eloquent and you can literally close your eyes and listen to him describe a game and picture what is happening.

Imagine it's the early 1980s as hip hop, crack cocaine, the Big East and Reganomics have hit the hood, and you're on a New York playground basketball court. It's your turn to ball and the guy who picked you up says, "I got him with the wave cap on. You got The Truth."
It might be time to tighten up the laces.
Last week at a ABS Sports & Entertainment Grouplaunch party for Better Baller Athletics at Riverbank State Park in Upper Manhattan, I ran into The Truth aka Walter Berry.
Before I get too deep into the truth let me sidetrack you all. Berry and I go a long way back. When I was at NBA.com, one year our office fantasy basketball league decided that your team name had to incorporate a current or former NBA player's name with a same or similarly named beautiful female celebrity.
Someone went esoteric; Suzette Charles Barkley (Suzette Charles was Miss New Jersey and runner-up to Vanessa Williams as Miss America until the photos). Some went the combo route like Joakim Kardashian or Chris Paulina Porizkova. Another went alliterative funky with Kerry Kittles Washington. Others went classic like Earl Marilyn Monroe. I intertwined by acclamation a true beauty with the truth and came up with Walter Halle Berry.
Try this at home; you can come up with your own all day long. But let's get back to the truth.
Although philosophers ponder about what is truth, in the New York City basketball circles it was former St. John's University star Walter Berry.
The 6-8, left-handed, power forward had a game that featured an array of almost unstoppable inside moves and shots from acute unique angles. He finished fastbreaks with enormous efficiency or settled down on the block to splash the twine with short floating jumpers. All the time, he did it with a southpaw ease that seemed like he wasn't trying.
Many also recognize Paul Pierce as The Truth after he dropped 42 points in a 2001 losing effort against the Los Angles Lakers. Shaq pulled a Boston reporter over and gestured toward the scribe's notepad. "Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the motherfuckin' truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth.
A great story and even more special when you realize that Pierce was about a year removed from a knife stabbing attack that required lung surgery. However, New York's reverence for basketball is awash with colorful basketball aliases such as Lloyd "Sweet Pea" Daniels or Dwayne "Pearl" Washington. But the Mecca anointed Berry with the most supreme compliment in The Truth. Not "Truth" as the basketball bible, basketball reference.com mistakenly lists. Then again, even the bible has human editors.
It may be futile to find a particular person to give credit or a precise moment he became The Truth. At some point in time a mass of people believed he was it. Alas, I wonder how it is to live with such mythological expectations. As you may have surmised, New York playground phenoms being accorded such proverbial nicknames seem less a blessing and more of curse to a successful NBA career.
And three decades removed from being declared as The Truth, Walter Berry is considered by basketballdom as a bust. But ironically, that conclusion fails to actually consider many truths that emerge upon a further evaluation.
On the eve of the 2011 NBA Draft, held a few miles away across the Hudson River in Newark, NJ, Berry was present at the event as a mentor to the CEO and founder of the ABS group, Alexis Stanley.
"He is right behind me in the background telling me this is what I should do, this is who you should talk too," says Stanley, a former NBA and New Jersey Nets intern and current law school and MPA student. "He's like a godfather to me."
This godfather is now living in Georgia, but he took the time to come up to New York to see this fledgling venture get off the ground. "I'm working with providing low and moderate income housing in Atlanta," says Berry. "But I'm here for support."
Berry reveals that he's back in New York so often though that he never misses it but that coming home is always good. He played all over the city's playgrounds and went to two high schools in the Bronx (DeWitt Clinton and Morris) before finishing his school-boy career at Ben Franklin High School in Brooklyn.
All the transfers cost him credits and ultimately his degree was not recognized by the NCAA denying him the chance to play Div. I basketball. A federal court upheld the NCAA's position and that led Berry to attend San Jacinto Junior College in Texas. But after one year, he was eligible to play for the big schools and they came hard.
"There were a bunch of other schools recruiting me like Duke, North Carolina and Georgia," says Berry. "But there was no question, I was coming home."
At St. John's, along with teammates Chris Mullin and Mark Jackson, he led the Redmen (since changed to Red Storm) to the 1985 Final Four. The logos and signs around Adolph Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky may as well have read Big East Tournament rather than NCAA Final Four as joining the crew from Queens was Villanova and Georgetown. The next year, he averaged 23 ppg and 11 rpg, and was the best college player in the land winning the John Wooden Award and voted the AP Player of the Year.
In the infamous 1986 NB Draft, he was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 14th overall selection. However, he was shipped off to the San Antonio Spurs after just seven games. Yet, in his rookie campaign he averaged 17.6 points on a .531 shooting percentage (fifth in the league) while grabbing 5.4 rebounds per game. He had just about the exact same production in his second season.
Almost mysteriously, his production declined in short stints with the Nets and Houston Rockets, and he was out of the league. What happened?
Rumors abounded that he couldn't get along with this or that coach. However, in his words, "They made me an offer I couldn't refuse," says the chuckling Berry referring to his 1989 signing with Basket Napoli (Italy). He would play international basketball until 2002. His travels also took him to Spain and Slovenia but mostly in Greece where he learned to speak the language fluently.
Berry was earning about $300,000 in the NBA while he likely received millions per annum in Europe with the teams' also paying taxes and living expenses. But there may be more to the truth of the matter than just money.
"Walt needed to be the man. It's not like he was selfish, but Walt is not a role player," says former NBA player Jaren Jackson (Georgetown, 1985-89). Jackson, who was at the launch party, played against Berry in college and the NBA before earning a ring with the1999 NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs.
"The NBA was stifling to him. They wanted him to be content with a limited role but that's not Walt's game."
In other words, the truth doesn't compromise.
Ron Naclerio, the legendary high school basketball coach at Queen's Cardozo High, who was there supporting the Better Baller Athletics' president, Melvin Robinson, a former player of his, more or less agreed with Jackson.
"Walt was a little stubborn and he didn't want to change his game," says Naclerio. "But they didn't seem to understand that the unorthodox way he played is what made him effective. And it's hard to come back with all the success he had overseas."
It may have been the good living in the Mediterranean as Berry looks happy and content.
He relishes in the recent success of former teammate Mark Jackson wishing him well in his new coaching endeavor with Golden State. And he's even contemplating being back in the game with Chris Mullin, his other college running mate, if Mullin lands another executive position with an NBA team.
Berry seems to have no regrets about how his playing career evolved and could care less about the bust label. The Truth knows the truth.

SALT LAKE CITY — Jay Lambert, very possibly the most unassuming Olympian the state of Utah has ever produced, passed away this week at the age of 86.
As his three grown children, Vickie, Mike and Ann, gathered at the home on Nevada Street where their father lived the past 42 years and set about sorting through his stuff, they were not surprised at what they uncovered from his famous past.
Not much.
Almost no trophies, medals or mementos. Only an old poster of a smiling Jay Lambert wearing his U.S.A. Olympic uniform in 1948 when he was a member of the boxing team America sent to the London Games.
They brushed away the dust, brought the photo of their father in his prime up from the basement, and positioned it next to the fireplace in the front room, the place most people would have put it in 1948.
But not their dad. He came home from the Olympics, fought just enough bouts as a professional — 12 of them — to pay for medical school and then hung up his gloves for good.
For the remaining 60 years of his life, the boxer was a physician and surgeon.
He started his practice back when doctors made house calls. First he'd diagnose the problem, then he'd got out his scalpel and fix the problem. Over the decades he tended to generations of families, at all hours of the day and night.
"People could know him for years and years and have no idea he was this famous athlete who was in the Olympics," said Ann.
And if they somehow found out, he was as adept at deflecting the attention and praise as he'd once been at dodging jabs and hooks.
"He'd always say, 'I had three older brothers, what was I going to do?'" remembered Vickie.
Mike recalled once asking his dad about Joe Louis, the world heavyweight champion who boxed exhibition matches with Lambert and another up-and-coming young Salt Lake heavyweight named Rex Layne.
"I'd read that Rex Layne said he could have held his own with Joe Louis, so I asked Dad about that," recalled Mike. "I remember he shrugged it off. He said, 'Joe Louis was playing with us the whole time; anytime he'd have wanted, he could have mopped the floor with us.'"
Born and raised in Lehi near the Point of the Mountain, Lambert learned to box at Marv Jenson's gym in West Jordan, where he was a contemporary of Gene Fullmer. He was the perennial AAU heavyweight champion in the Rocky Mountain Region as a teenager and then, after serving in the U.S. Army for 21 months prior to the end of World War II, he resumed his amateur career and won the heavyweight division at the U.S. Olympic Boxing Trials in 1948.
He was victorious in his first two bouts in the London Olympics before being eliminated in the quarterfinals by Johnny Arthur of South Africa in a split decision.
After the Olympics he turned pro, with Jenson as his manager, and compiled an 8-3-1 record while winning $5,000. He retired from the ring in 1950 at the age of 24 and was accepted into medical school at the University of Utah. He used his prize money to pay his tuition.
By and by, Dr. Lambert and his wife, Ila, who died in 1997, had the children who were cleaning out the house on Nevada Street this week as they reminisced about their father.
"He was the epitome of the golden rule," said Ann.
"He didn't have a mean bone in his body," said Mike.
"He loved to help people. He never even thought about suing anybody," said Vickie, who illustrated with a story.
"I used to see his bills (for his patients)," she said. "And sometimes they'd get way overdue. I'm kinda feisty so I'd write them saying they needed to get this caught up. Then my dad would learn about it and he would say, 'Vic, did you send them a note? Why would you want to do that? These people are having hard times. They can't afford it.'"
After dozens of stories, just like that one, the grown kids of Jay Lambert looked first around the room at each other and then at the photograph of their dad in his Olympic uniform that they'd placed front and center next to the fireplace.
"Oh man," they said, thinking the same thought almost in unison. "If he saw this and heard us talking right now, he'd be so embarrassed. He'd be like, stop, come on — he was not one to brag."
Leave that to the next generation.

|Plan 9 from Outer Space
Weekends through Nov. 18
Maverick Theater
110 E. Walnut Ave., Fullerton
Tickets: $20
:: mavericktheater.com
The advertising for the Maverick Theater's adaptation of Plan 9 from Outer Space declares that the worst movie of all time would be "the worst play of all time." It's hardly that. In fact, it's a very sharp and hilarious homage to the cult schlock film and they've scarcely changed a word.
Maverick's long-running Halloween success Night of the Living Dead is just over an hour long and has begged for the right tandem to make a creature double feature since the production began. This could finally be it. Plan 9 is less than an hour and takes a trimmed down version of Edward D. Wood Jr.'s ridiculous script and plays it for as much humor as they can possibly squeeze out of it. And there's a lot.
For non-geeks, the film was made by infamous bad filmmaker Wood in the late 1950s on a less-than-shoestring budget and was originally titled Grave Robbers from Outer Space. It's a pathetic mishmash of horror and sci-fi that manages in turn to be wonderfully bad and badly bad.
Rarely seen in its original run, it was rediscovered by late-night TV horror fans in the 1960s and has grown in cult status ever since. Wood, also a transvestite, made another infamous stinker, starring himself, called Glen or Glenda. All of this and his friendship with the elderly and drug-addicted horror legend Bela Lugosi are chronicled in Tim Burton's great Ed Wood biopic for those interested.
But here, there is gleeful overacting and there are intentionally cheap and horrible special effects. Wood's stilted characters and their egregious 1950s sexism are easy to lampoon almost exactly as they are. One of the razor thin characters is "played" by Lugosi himself in the silent footage Wood shot of him shortly before Lugosi's death and used in Plan 9. The original film was so flimsy and illogical – and the feature itself so available in the public domain – it just seems right that Director Brian Newell and his "Maverick Light & Magic" crew use the Lugosi footage to set up the lunacy that follows much the way Wood used it in 1957.
The entire cast is strong for so effectively playing the irony. If there is one fault in the production, it's that the cast isn't given quite enough artistic license, as it is in Maverick's annual Christmas production, Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. At the back end of the story, like the back end of the movie itself, things begin to drag a bit. A slightly looser sense – and only slightly – might make Plan 9 the hit it seems destined to be.
Still, this is breezy and inspired insanity, done with a love for the piece of crap that Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space truly was. But when you aim for "worst play of all time," it gives you a lot of room to make something surprisingly good.

BRISBANE (AP) — Clothing retailer Bebe Stores said Thursday that its CEO Steve Birkhold resigned, effective immediately.
Birkhold had served as CEO since 2013. Jim Wiggett, CEO of consulting firm Jackson Hole Group who has been advising the company for five years, will be CEO on an interim basis as the company seeks a permanent successor.
Bebe has been dealing with tough competition and declining mall traffic. In its most recent quarter, it reported a net loss but revenue beat analysts' expectations. Sales in stores open at least one year fell 1.9 percent during the company's fiscal second quarter, which included the key holiday selling season.
Bebe operates 227 stores under the bebe, 2b bebe and 33 bebe outlet stores in the United States, U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Canada. The company also distributes and sells bebe branded products through its licensees in about 26 countries.
Its shares rose a penny to $3.37 in midday trading Thursday. Its shares are down about 37 percent so far this year.

Product Exclusive: Software exports info from electric-pneumatic distributed I/O
Festo CPX-FMT software exports configuration assembly data from the Festo CPX Distributed I/O Valve Manifold into RSLogix5000 software from Rockwell Automation. Festo CPX electric/pneumatic distributed I/O system has a high variety of I/O modules. It connects up to 512 inputs and 512 outputs of modules per fieldbus node, with as many as 128 valve coils and eight additional supply modules for pressure and power zones. CPX can operate as an electric, pneumatic, or combination I/O system, with an optional CoDeSys controller for "Intelligent Slave" applications.
The new Festo CPX FMT tool allows RSLogix5000 software to import CPX configuration assembly data without using RSLogix device profiles, which are unavailable for similar non-Rockwell remote-I/O devices, according to Festo.
Configuring the CPX-Terminal as an Ethernet/IP device requires selection of "Generic Ethernet Module" within RSLogix configuration options. Then the user sets up input and output data size, data format, and IP address. Device configuration data (device startup parameters) are currently ignored.
The FMT tool simplifies the process by integrating configuration data, including parameters. Step 1 – configure the CPX-Terminal with CPX-FMT, manually or with an online feature that automatically downloads the configuration. Change parameters as needed (all parameters also can be changed in RSLogix after the export/import procedure). IP-address settings also will be included in the L5K export. Select File->Export->RSLogix (.L5K) and save file to disk. Step 2 – Import .L5K-File into new Project. Step 3 – Paste it into main RSLogix5000 project.
Benefits: CPX FMT software maintains correct data format and I/O size, integrates CPX module parameters, and allows changes of CPX parameters in existing projects. Also, after adding one or more CPX-Terminals to an RSLogix project, the CPX-FMT software can change parameters.

Prerogatives of the Ecumenical Patriarchate
In history and in canonical literature (i.e. the Church's canons and traditional commentaries on them), the Ecumenical Patriarchate has been granted certain prerogatives (presbeia) which other autocephalous Orthodox churches do not have. Not all of these prerogatives are today universally acknowledged, though all do have precedents in history and canonical references. The following is a (non-exhaustive) list of these prerogatives and their reference points:
- Equal prerogatives to Old Rome (Canon 3 of the Second Ecumenical Council, Canon 28 of the Fourth Ecumenical Council, Canon 36 of the Quinisext Council)
- The right to hear appeals, if invited, regarding disputes between clergy (Canons 9 and 17 of the Fourth Ecumenical Council)
- The right to ordain bishops for areas outside defined canonical boundaries (Canon 28 of the Fourth Ecumenical Council)
- The right to establish stavropegial monasteries even in the territories of other patriarchates (the Epanagoge, commentaries of Matthew Blastares and Theodore Balsamon)
The nature of Constantinople's primacy
Constantinople's position as having "prerogatives equal to those of Old Rome" is based in the letter of the canons on its position as the imperial city, a position which passed away with the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. Some canonists, especially those associated with the Church of Russia, use this canonical wording to argue that Constantinople's primacy is therefore no longer valid or is only honorary, not having any actual authority. Some may even go so far as to put forward the Third Rome theory regarding Moscow, implying that Moscow has replaced Constantinople as the capital of the Orthodox Christian commonwealth.
Yet other canonists, especially those associated with the Ecumenical Patriarchate itself, point out that in the ancient Church, Rome continued to maintain its position of both honor and authority in primacy even after its status as the imperial capital had long faded. Its position as the imperial city was not the only factor in its primacy, but also longstanding tradition had hallowed its place of authority in its sphere. As such, Constantinople's primacy also remained even though its political fortunes waned.
Often, in the exercise of its primacy, Constantinople has been accused of papism, which is something of an exaggerated accusation, because papism is the claim for one bishop of direct and absolute jurisdiction in every diocese, something which the Ecumenical Patriarch has never claimed for himself.
The difference of opinion is not completely partisan, however, as some Russian canonists adopt the view more commonly associated with Constantinipolitan canonists, such as J. Sokoloff, a prominent professor at the St. Petersburg Theological Academy:
- In general, there was complete reciprocity between the patriarchs of the Orthodox East, complete mutual love, brotherly respect and spiritual unity and rapport. Talk of papacy in the Orthodox East is thus quite out of place; the Patriarchs of Constantinople, who have occasionally been erroneously accused of papist tendencies, never aspired to absolute domination in the Eastern Orthodox Church. They were always motivated by fraternal love and solicitude in their relations with the other patriarchs of the East. There has never been and there never will be a papist spirit in the Orthodox East (quoted in Maximos, p. 299).
One can find this same sort of wording in statements from the Ecumenical throne itself, such as in the 1794 sigillion of Patriarch Gerasimus III:
- ...For this reason, our most holy, patriarchal, Apostolic and Oecumenical throne, striving for blamelessness in itself, provides what is right and blameless and what it has itself to the other patriarchal and Apostolic thrones. It does not take away from them what is theirs by law, nor does it consider it has a right to act above the laws, but it certainly contributes towards the rights and needs of others, as far as possible (quoted in Maximos, p. 296).
Fundamentally, the difference in opinion is based in a different conception of universal Church governance. Either each autocephalous church is to be regarded as absolutely sovereign in its sphere, unanswerable to any others, or there is a mutual interdependence of the churches and patriarchs upon one another, and this interdependence is expressed in the primatial leadership of the Ecumenical Patriarch.
In the former view, while it is often admitted that other Orthodox churches might cut off communion with an erring patriarch, that break in communion is not regarded as truly binding. Thus, individual sovereignty is absolutely maintained. In the latter view, however, autocephalous churches are truly answerable to one another, and the tribunal which exercises this accountability, when invited by appeal, is the Ecumenical Patriarchate. Both positions have difficulty when worked out in practice, as there is always the possibility that a given patriarch or Ecumenical Patriarch may act in a tyrannical manner. Historically, though, tyrannical patriarchs have been deposed, typically led by either the Ecumenical Patriarch himself (in the case of other patriarchs) or by the clergy of that patriarchate (in the case of the deposition of their own patriarch), often in conjuction with a patriarch from a neighboring autocephalous church, such as Alexandria.
Fr. John Meyendorff saw the need for the primacy of Constantinople:
- [The] Patriarchate, for the past many centuries, has been recognized as having a certain responsibility for the entire Church as a center of consensus with a "primacy of honor." This is why it is called the "Ecumenical Patriarchate." Misinformed journalists sometimes identify the Ecumenical Patriarch's position to that of the pope in Roman Catholicism, which is, of course, quite absurd, but it is unquestionable that the Orthodox conception of the Church recognizes the need for leadership of the world episcopate, for a certain spokesmanship by the first patriarch, for a ministry of coordination without which conciliarity is impossible... ("Needed: The Ecumenical Patriarchate," in Vision of Unity (Crestwood, NY: SVS Press, 1987), p. 133.)
- Personally, I see no way in which the Orthodox Church can fulfill its mission in the world today without the ministry of a "first bishop," defined not any more in terms which were applicable under the Byzantine Empire or in terms of universal jurisdiction according to the Roman model but still based upon that "privilege of honor" of which the Second Ecumenical Council spoke. We should all think and search how to redefine that "privilege" in a way which would be practical and efficient today. ("The Council of 381 and the Primacy of Constantinople" in Catholicity and the Church (Crestwood, NY: SVS Press, 1983), p. 142.)
Meyendorff thus identifies Constantinople's presbeia in terms other than mere "honor," but that it fulfills a practical need.
The Resident Synod
Beginning at some point in the 4th century, the affairs of the Patriarchate of Constantinople were governed by a particular form of holy synod, referred to as the ενδημουσα συνοδος (endimousa synodos, "resident synod"). Its president was the Ecumenical Patriarch, and its members consisted of all bishops resident in or visiting the imperial capital. The name first appears as a technical term in 448, but the institution itself probably stems from the time of the promotion of Byzantium to the imperial capital of Constantinople in the 4th century. By means of this standing council of bishops, including even hierarchs from outside the jurisdiction of the patriarchate, the business of the church centered at the capital (including the election or deposition of its patriarch) was decided by the participation of representatives from throughout the Orthodox Church. It thus became natural for this synod also to examine affairs of ecumenical importance, particularly those in which it was desired for the emperor to lend his authority.
The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium describes the institution thus:
- It was indeed natural, if not inevitable, for individual bishops to gravitate to the imperial capital for personal and official business, that is, whenever they wished to submit some petition or complaint to its court, hence the permanent nature of the synod. Indeed, its convocation was commonplace by the Council of Chalcedon (451), when this established custom was first solemnly recognized (canons 9, 17) (p. 697).
Resident synods were not peculiar to the Church of Constantinople—similar occasional synods of the same kind of composition were also called in Alexandria and Antioch during the Arian controversy—but such synods held in Constantinople took on a special importance in view of its developing primacy connected with its place in the Roman Empire. The first known synod of this type held in Constantinople was in 336 following the dedication of the city as the capital (Maximos, p. 82).
After the Arab invasions of the 7th century, the other Eastern patriarchates participated much less often in the resident synods in the Roman capital, but the synods themselves continued to retain their local and ecumenical authority, and the presidency at them of the Constantinopolitan patriarch naturally led to an increase of his prestige. While the bishops of other autocephalous churches were still taking part in the resident synods, their own prestige and authority grew, as well, connected as they were to the political and ecclesiastical center of Christendom.

text: Cargill Announces It Will Acquire Northstar Grain LLC Assets June 18, 2013 08:45 AM Tweet A worker inspects grain being loaded at the Northstar Grain facility in Decatur, Mich. Rail upgrades have allowed local growers to ship grain across the eastern and southeastern U.S. © Ben Potter TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email Cargill officials say they have reached an agreement to acquire the grain storage and crop inputs assets of Northstar Grain LLC and associated properties in Decatur, Mich. The facility has earned some notoriety through its longetivty and one of its prior owners. Northstar was first operational in 1849, making it one of the oldest working mills in the country. Additionally, previous owner Mike Stamp declared for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2012, with estimated liabilities exceeding $50 million. Northstar has remained open since that time. Stamp, who farmed more than 40,000 acres in southwest Michigan, purchased Northstar in 2007. He soon made major upgrades, including an initial boost in bin capacity from 150,000 bu. to 400,000 bu. Stamp says this was a strategic move to allow him to store more of his grain, but he also later discovered and fixed up an old rail spur, connecting it back to the main line. The move gave area farmers more options for shipping their grain. "The rail gives us a 20¢ to 40¢ margin advantage, and that pays back the initial cost pretty quickly," Stamp said in an interview with Top Producer. Now Cargill will take the reins and has announced its plans for an additional $3 million in upgrades to the facility. The company will complete the construction of a 500,000 bu. storage bin and increase the capability to ship 75-car unit trains. "We look forward to notably increasing the competitiveness of this facility as a market for our future customers and connecting it to the extensive grain and oilseeds supply chains we serve," says Ben Breazeale, leader of the Greater Indiana Farm Service group of Cargill AgHorizons U.S. Assets include 4.5 million bu. of storage space for corn, soybeans and wheat, along with a crop inputs business. The site is serviced by the Norfolk Southern railroad, which allows local grain to be shipped to markets in the eastern and southeastern U.S. The transaction is expected to be completed by June 30, 2013. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. You can read additional news about Stamp Farms here. Back to news

How does vision determine the size, shape and boundaries of objects in our environment? Research in my laboratory centers on various aspects of visual perception and the visual control of action. Recent research on the visual system has grown into an exciting collaboration among psychologists, physiologists, computer scientists, and mathematicians. My research continues to blur the lines between these fields in two ways. First, traditional psychophysical methods are enhanced using advanced computer graphics and image processing techniques for stimulus generation and analysis. Second, both mathematical methods and computer simulations are used to model the psychophysical results. As much as possible, the simulation models attempt to reflect a feasible physiological implementation, as I have a strong interest in neural network models of vision. Next, I describe each broad area of my research in turn.
I have an enduring interest in the use of computational techniques to study human vision. My doctoral dissertation concerned the computer simulation of a neural network model of visual learning. For this work, I received the Ph.D. from the Department of Computer and Communication Sciences of the University of Michigan in 1981, having worked primarily with John Holland. I then moved to New York University and worked as a postdoctoral research associate with George Sperling, examining aspects of low bandwidth visual image sequences, in particular as applied to low bandwidth communication systems for the deaf (involving perceptual studies of American Sign Language). During that time I also co-wrote the HIPS image processing software. In 1984 I joined the faculty at NYU, and have continued to work on problems in visual perception, concentrating on perception of depth and texture. In 1992-3, I spent a sabbatical year as a National Research Council Senior Research Associate at NASA Ames Research Center. In the summer of 1998, I visited the Institut d'Ingénierie de la Vision, Université Jean Monnet de Saint-Étienne, collaborating on work on texture appearance. In 1999-2002, I spent a sabbatical year and much of the subsequent two years at the School of Optometry, University of California at Berkeley, working with Prof. Martin S. Banks on various projects in depth perception and stereopsis, visiting again 2015-2016.

Ford enthusiast and Mustang lovers have a lot to look forward to in the next couple of years. Not only will the Blue Oval celebrate the 50th birthday of the iconic Mustang, but will also release a brand-new and totally redesigned Mustang to mark the occasion. But rather than exhibit a zen-like patience for 2015 to rear its head, the plucky folks over at Inside Line have supplied our pulsating, pony car-loving hearts with a possible glimpse into the very future of the 2015 Ford Mustang.
Adding to the overall excitement and speculation surrounding its eventually unveiling, the next styling overhaul to the Ford Mustang looks like it could rip a huge page out of the Evos Concept and 2013 Ford Fusion styling book. In fact, according to Inside Line, the next iteration of Mustang will weigh less, utilize a more responsive straight-axle rear end, and provide a curvier body than the current Mustang setup.
It's no secret Ford has been planning to pencil in some major changes for the iconic Mustang for some time now, but while the current design language harkens back to the 'Stangs of old, the next evolution of the American sports staple will see it look to the future rather than the past for inspiration. In fact, as we mentioned, Inside Line's rendered 2015 Mustang looks like the illegitimate lovechild of a 2013 Fusion and Ford Evos Concept.
Traditionally, American muscle cars haven't carried over well to foreign markets, but the next Mustang is gearing up to change that. Again, Ford has been rather forthcoming with its plans to export the car to foreign markets outside of its typical U.S. grazing grounds, so in keeping with that plan the American automaker needed to come up with a design that would honor the Mustang's heritage, while allowing it to break out into new territory. It's a tricky endeavor and one that will no doubt require Ford to tread carefully unless it wishes to alienate a good chunk of the Mustang faithful.
Apart from obvious styling changes, another area we can expect to receive some changes — albeit less drastic changes – is under the hood. It's being thrown around that the engine platforms found inside current Mustangs will likely carry over into a 2015 Model; with talk of an eventual switch to a turbocharged four-cylinder for improved mileage. It's thought that the current 5.0 V8 will remain in place to help keep the Mustangs performance levels up to snuff for track enthusiasts.
While we love our speculative renderings just as much as the next guy, the sad fact is, we're nowhere near an official release. Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait until the 2014 New York Auto Show to get an official look at what exactly Ford has in store.

January is National Eye Care Month, and the stats are flying at me fast and furious! This week, I thought I'd share with you some of the interesting statistics I've come across.
According to the Vision Council of America (2006), of the total adult American population:
• 64.0 percent use eyeglasses
• 19.0 percent use contact lenses some of the time
• 85.6 percent use non-prescription sunglasses
• 14.0 percent use pre-made "drugstore" reading glasses
• 12.1 percent use clips for sunglasses
• 4.4 percent use computer glasses
From these statistics, it's clear that eyewear touches the lives of nearly everyone in the United States. More than 2/3 of the U.S. population wear glasses, alone!
Eyewear is just the tip of the eye care iceberg, though. Millions of people are impacted by eye problems, injuries and diseases every year.
For instance, over the age of 40, 20 million people have a cataract in one or both eyes, and 2.2 million are affected by open-angle glaucoma. 1.8 million Americans over the age of 40 have Macular Degeneration.
Thousands of Americans encounter eye problems due to injury, as well! Of the 9,000 people injured by fireworks each year, 30% incur an eye injury, and 25% involve vision loss or blindness.
Lack of proper protective eyewear causes thousands of injuries each year. In the workplace, 2,000 workers experience job-related eye injuries each year. While playing sports, 42,000 eye injuries occur each year. But maybe most interestingly, from 1998 to 2000, eye injuries due to paintball guns rose from 545 to 1200 injuries a year—More than doubling the injury rate!
All of these statistics lead me to one conclusion. Although we often take our vision for granted, it is certainly not something to be taken lightly. This month of eye care acknowledgement certainly offers us an opportunity to pause, pay attention to what we are lucky enough to see around us, and of course, schedule an appointment with our favorite eye care professionals!
But perhaps you are one such professional already, and I am preaching to the choir! Well, then may I please direct you to the Welch Allyn Ophthalmoscope area of our website?

Myway needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 19 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
STAMP my CONCRETE
I am the owner of a decorative concrete business. I am also trying to brand a LOGO (Donkey) and lettering around the "mascot" (Donkey) saying Bad Ass Decorative Concrete. We are very bold with our commitments and styles and want this to translate in the logo and fonts. We want to seperate ourselves from our compitition. We do NOT have company colors so we are open for ideas and concepts. BOLD BOLD BOLD...
Our market is all over the board. (25-65) We want this to stand out and NOT just be the same old same old concrete company. We also will be targeting the commercial market as well. We want people to look at our product and our personality as it is, BAD ASS!!! We offer very custom and detailed work second to none in our area. Diversity is our backbone.
I need this in a VECTOR format, AI or EPS. The ASS should be "TOUGH" looking and perhaps edgy too. The ASS will be a cartoon style ASS as well. We want this image to stick in peoples heads. The ASS can be throwing a punch OR posing instead, BE CREATIVE!!! The font MUST be bold yet readable at a glance, NOT real loopy or ole English style. Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo...

Scimitar-horned Oryx
(Oryx dammah)
Facts about this animal
Scimitar-horned oryx are medium sized antelopes weighing up to 150 kg with slender scimitar-shaped horns which may reach 150 cm long. Both sexes are whitish to light brown with a ruddy brown chest, croup and flanks, and brown-grey facial markings, although great individual variation can exist. The calves are light brown with a white abdomen and a black-tipped tail. Their pelage changes to adult colouration at 3 to 12 months old. Before their extinction in the wild scimitar-horned oryx formed small groups of 10-30 individuals, however during their migrations numerous herds joined together to form aggregations of hundreds if not thousands of animals.
Herds consisted of approx. 50:50 sex ratio with a distinct linear hierarchy and a dominant male controlling breeding. Scimitar-horned oryx are primarily grazers but will feed on browse and others plants when grass is not available. They can go for up to 10 months without drinking relying on water rich plants such as the wild melon Colocynthis vulgaris. Mean gestation length is 8-8.5 months with a range of 242 to 300 days. With the post-partum oestus a female oryx can easily produce one calf a year. In zoos the scimitar-horned oryx will live for 18-20 years, but no data are available for longevity in the wild.
Did you know?
that Scimitar-horned oryxes are perfectly adapted to their arid habitat? They have enlarged hooves that do not sink into the sand, pale coats that reflect sunlight and black skin and tip of the tongue that protects against sunburn. Most astonishingly, they can go for up to 10 months without drinking water, obtaining all they need from their food.

Why do zoos keep this animal
Scimitar-horned oryx are extinct in the wild and rely on ex-situ breeding and reintroduction for the continued survival of the species. They thrive in zoos and appear to adapt reasonably well when returned to their native habitat.
