Question: Jesus' relatives are identified as brothers and sisters due to language variables. In Luke 1:36, the word "relative" is used in regard to Elizabeth. Did the original word in the Greek use "sister" for Elizabeth? But if there was a word for relatives, why did the Gospels use brother and sister and not relatives when speaking of Jesus' "brothers and sisters"?
Answer: The Greek word used in Luke 1:36 is "suggenes" and does mean "relative" or "kinsman." It is from the Greek roots "syn" (with) and "genos" (seed or offspring). Thus the word refers here to Elizabeth as being related to Mary in some physical but unspecified way. The Greek word for sisters (adelphai) is not used in Luke 1:36.
Why certain words are used or not is a complex question. Our modern ears tend to crave a kind of specificity in written texts that they do not always give. Even today, we are often flexible in our use of terms like relative, brothers and sisters, etc., when speaking. For example, when it comes to the word "brother" in its most technical sense, there are only two men on this planet who are my brothers, in that we physically share the exact same father and mother. However, on any given Sunday, I stand before hundreds of people and call them "my brothers and sisters."
In Jesus' day things were similar; people use terms in both the strict sense and the wider sense, freely interchanging terms like brother, cousin, relative, etc. Many Protestants today seeing references to Jesus' brothers and sisters simply presume these terms were meant in a very strict sense and that such references therefore disprove that Mary was ever-virgin.
But in this matter, the Church would argue that they have fallen into a linguistic fallacy by insisting that the terms can only be interpreted in the strict sense. The early Church was not unaware of these references, nor troubled by them as she handed on the sacred Tradition of Mary's perpetual virginity. Rather, the terms brothers and sisters were understood by the Church more broadly to mean cousins, and this is the ancient sense of those texts.
Question: Please explain the difference of a priest who is suspended and one who is defrocked.
Answer: The term "defrocked" is not a term used in the Church's Canon Law; even its secular use varies. Church law speaks of priests who might be suspended and those who are laicized.
A priest who is suspended has his faculties to publicly preach and celebrate the sacraments removed. In certain cases he may be permitted to say Mass privately and may still retain some obligations to say the Divine Office. He still lives celibately. If the troubles that led to his suspension can be resolved, he can be restored to public ministry.
A priest who is laicized, however, is legally regarded as a layman. He cannot say Mass at all, even privately; he is no longer obliged say the Divine Office; and he may get married. Some priests are punitively laicized because they committed serious sins as a priest. Other priests are laicized at their own request because they sadly are no longer willing to live the life to which they were ordained.

ChrisH necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 24 diseños de 3 diseñadores freelance.
Webgreek is the best way to run your fraternity or sorority. With Webgreek, chapters can send unlimited texts and group email, share files and music, collect money online for thing like dues and rush shirts, create polls to allow for online voting, and sell tickets to events on Facebook and Twitter. We also build and design custom fraternity websites and sorority websites that can be edited and updated by anyone, without any programming knowledge. Webgreek was founded in 2009, is headquartered in San Francisco and has 6 employees.
Our target audience is Fraternity chapter organizations comprised of tech-savvy and intelligent college students. Our product specifically targets officers and executives of these organizations looking for a comprehensive management tool and professional chapter website that can easily be edited and maintained without web development knowledge.
We need three template websites designed for one of our newest National Fraternity partners. For each of these templates, we only need a "front page" designed, for a total of 3 separate pages. Our in house designer will then utilize these template front pages to build fully functioning websites within our proprietary web editor.
Here are some guidelines for the site templates.
1. Must use official colors, themes, symbols, and crests of National partner included in attachment. (also see examples)
2. Content areas of website must be no wider than 950px, although margin design should span to at least 1024px.
3. Sleek and professional design catered towards a young, all male college audience.
4. All three sites should differ in layout, yet maintain similar styles. There should be a consistent theme between the sites.
With the rapid growth of our company, we do not have the bandwidth in-house to design all our template sites. Selected designer will have the opportunity for similar future projects.
For each website template design, we only need a front or "home" page. All three sites must contain:
1. donate button, and icons for facebook, twitter, and youtube.
2. drop down navigation style (include hide-able layer with example)
3. main title area for chapter, and school name
4. pages must be in psd format including all layers (layer comps a plus)
5. footer link section
6. Facebook Fan page widget (look at webgreek.com to see one)
National Partner Examples:
Theme Examples:
Examples with good use of header design: (We don't like the rest)
National Partner's Website
The images attached are google images that you can use. We have the right to use their protected images but we cannot distribute them to others. Please turn these into .png and use as a place holder for the design. These are nearly exact replicas of the real ones and will work perfectly. Thanks.

Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert Returning to the Road With Mamas in Tow
After a long and emotional week following the passing of his father, Blake Shelton and his wife Miranda Lambert are both gearing up to head back out on the road this coming weekend to pick back up on their headlining tours.
"A new week begins," Lambert tweeted Monday morning (Jan. 23) — a week after her father-in-law passed. "Whew."
By Wednesday morning (Jan. 25), Lambert was looking forward to resuming her On Fire Tour, which also features Jerrod Niemann and Chris Young. But this particular weekend, both her shows and Shelton's shows will have extra special guests along for the ride.
"Back to work," she announced on her Twitter page. "Thank u all for being amazing this past week. Bringin' mama with me to rock this weekend. [Blake] is bringing his mama and step-mama out! It's officially MAMA weekend at camp Shelton! Family makes the road feel like home."
Lambert's run this week consists of stops in Charlotte, N.C., Baltimore, Md., Charlottesville, Va. and East Rutherford, N.J., while her husband's Well Lit and Amplified Tour will hit Columbus, Ga., Duluth, Ga. and Pensacola, Fla. Joining Shelton on his tour are Justin Moore and Dia Frampton.

Dear HKB, I wouldn't put that much effort into responding to a claim like that one. Those companies only expect about 5 to 10 percent of the people they threaten to be intimidated enough to actually pay up. I was in retail business for 25 years, I've written plenty of letters for occasions like this. This is what one looks like:
Dear Sirs:
Our company records (which I can produce in court) indicate that we honored all the terms of the lease you mentioned. Therefore, we do not owe any additional funds, and we will not pay the amount you demanded, or any part of it, now or ever.
You may continue to feel that your claim is legitimate, and that your demands and threats are justified. If that is the case, and you continue to harass me to collect this money, then I will turn this matter over to our attorneys.
Yours truly, Blah Blah Blah
In America we call this "calling his bluff."

What Public Domain? Why A Letter Written In 1755 Is Still Covered By US Copyright Law
from the stamping-out-the-public-domain dept
A few years back, we wrote about a fantastic research report that suggested for all of the claims that the song "Happy Birthday" remains covered by copyright, there was a lot of evidence that it was still in the public domain. After all, the music is from the 1800s and the lyrics were published in books starting in 1912. And, of course, as the handy dandy chart notes, works published prior to 1923 aren't supposed to be subject to copyright. But.. it's not always that simple:
Robert Brauneis notes that the lyrics to "Happy Birthday" were published in 1912 in The Beginners' Book of Songs and again in 1915 in The Golden Book of Favorite Songs. (The music is much older.) Yet according to the current owners of the presumed copyright in "Happy Birthday," these early publications were unauthorized. They argue that the first authorized publication of the lyrics to "Happy Birthday" occurred in 1935 and copyright runs from that date. Digitizing either the 1912 or 1915 volumes or singing the lyrics to "Happy Birthday" as found in the books would therefore infringe on the copyright first secured in 1935.Yes, you read that right. If you digitized books from 1912, you could infringe on a copyright from 1935. That is not a functional system.
But that's not the only crazy case. Hirtle highlights another example of what he believes may be the oldest work still covered by US copyright... and it's from 1755:
Probably the oldest work still protected by copyright in the U.S. is a letter from John Adams to Nathan Webb written on Sept. 1, 1755. Copyright in the Adams material was transferred to the Massachusetts Historical Society (MHS) in 1956. In that same year the MHS published a microfilm edition of the correspondence and registered the copyright with the Copyright Office. Copyright was renewed in 1984, which means that copyright in the Adams letter will expire on Jan. 1, 2052, almost 300 years after it was written.There are a number of other crazy examples as well. Take, for example, arguments over whether or not a work is "published" or "unpublished." This can matter, especially for older works, since there were different copyright rules depending on the publishing status of the work. But, the definition of "publication" isn't always clear, especially for pre-1978 works (see the example above). And that can create bizarre examples like the one below from an actual court case:
An allegedly infringed work reportedly has a title page stating that it was published. Furthermore, the defendants also claim that the work was distributed to more than 55,000 people. Nevertheless, the work is registered as an unpublished work with the Copyright Office. This is because the work was never offered to the public; instead, it was only to senior officials and leaders of the Mormon Church.Similarly, he notes that merely broadcasting a TV show wasn't considered "publishing." So TV shows like the first episode of Star Trek don't have their copyright clock start until nearly a dozen years after it was first broadcast, because that's the first time it was "offered for sale" rather than just broadcast.
Reading through all of the examples, it's a great lesson in how screwed up copyright law is today, especially with regards to the public domain -- a sadly neglected part of American culture.

Pujols, Kendrick and Hamilton also among leaders at their position
Mike Trout's grip on the top spot among American League All-Star Game vote-getters is loosening.
The Angels star has received the most votes among all AL players at the first two ballot tallies of the season, but Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista is closing in. It was Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter who had the second-most votes at the first count last week.

In other races, first baseman Albert Pujols (569,211) saw his No. 2 spot at first base taken over by White Sox rookie Jose Abreu (602,628), who has been on the disabled list since May 18. Abreu was the league's Player and Rookie of the Month for April.

Trout, who became the youngest AL position player to start the All-Star Game last year (at age 21) since Ivan Rodriguez in 1993, is riding a season-best 11-game hitting streak in which he has hit .417 (15-for-36). He has reached base safely in each of his last 23 games.
The 2012 AL Rookie of the Year Award winner is aiming to join Rod Carew (1979-84), Fred Lynn ('82-83), Reggie Jackson ('82-84) and Vladimir Guerrero (2004-07) as the only Angels to earn consecutive fan-elected All-Star starts.
Howie Kendrick (247,353) is fifth in the voting among second basemen, and Josh Hamilton (304,761) is 14th among AL outfielders.

MONACO -- WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin beat Osumanu Adama by TKO in the seventh round, his impressive speed and accuracy flooring his challenger three times on Saturday.
The Kazakh fighter successfully defended his belt for the 10th time to improve to 29-0, including 26 KOs. The bout was the mismatch it appeared on paper, as Adama was ranked 12th by the WBA.
"I feel terrific, I'm very happy with my performance," Golovkin said in a statement from K2 Promotions. "From the opening round I was comfortable with the fight and felt good about my power and the pace of the fight. He was a tough opponent but I was never hurt."
Golovkin's powerful right sent the Ghana boxer to the canvas at the end of the first round. A quick left hook knocked Adama down in the sixth, forcing an eight count. Golovkin put Adama down again with a left jab in the seventh for another count before a left hook prompted the referee to stop the fight.
Adama's record dropped to 22-4.
Golovkin has scored 16 straight knockouts and is seeking a top boxer for his next bout.
"I want to fight Sergio Martinez to prove who's the best middleweight," Golovkin said in the ring.
Promoter Tom Loeffler said they "have offers out to three HBO-approved fighters for April 26 at Madison Square Garden."

Now that I think about it, I do remember one backwards compatibility problem I had.
On disc 2 of The Legend of Dragoon during the water dragon fight, if any of your characters transform your game will freeze during the post-battle cutscene. I think that was pretty universal for everyone who tried it.
As a general rule, the slim was better than the brick for compatibility. Even for some ps2 games themselves. Games with blue discs had trouble reading on the brick.

DAMIAN THOMPSON writing in The Telegraph reports: 'In his Christmas sermon, Bishop Charles Scicluna of Malta condemned adoption by same-sex couples. He insisted that God's own son was raised by a man and a woman, and not by two men or two women.
How divisive! said the media. But now it turns out that Bishop Scicluna met Pope Francis on December 12. The bishop later told the Times of Malta: 'We discussed many aspects… and when I raised the issue that's worrying me as a bishop [the right for gay couples to adopt] he encouraged me to speak out.'
Indeed, the Pope was 'shocked' to learn that Malta's proposed Civil Union bill allows gay adoption. And Bishop's Scicluna's controversial sermon seems to have been delivered at his prompting.
None of this should be surprising: back in Argentina, Cardinal Bergoglio roundly condemned gay adoption and said that gay marriage was diabolically inspired. But confusingly - and I still can't quite figure this out in my head - he did clearly back civil partnerships as the lesser of two evils. (When Archbishop Vincent Nichols appeared to do that, his critics in the Vatican were furious.)
What we can say, I think, is that the media read far too much into the Pope's 'who am I to judge?' comment about gay Christians in his impromptu interview on the way back from Rio. If Time magazine gave Francis its Person of the Year on the basis of his relaxed attitude to homosexuality, it should have done its homework more thoroughly.

1. What is ALA's procedure to enforce the Code of Ethics?
As a voluntary membership organization, ALA does not enforce the Code of Ethics for a variety of reasons. As a non-licensing professional society, the ALA would have two possible actions in response to a violation of the Code of Ethics:
- Suspend or expel a member from membership, or
- Admonish or censure an individual or institution, publicly or privately.
Because membership in a professional society may affect an individual's career, US anti-trust laws permit punitive action affecting membership:
- Only for a good cause,
- Only after affording the member due process.
A. Good cause will be found to exist only if the member has engaged in conduct which the professional society has a legitimate interest in prohibiting or controlling, which may not be the case with individual infringements of the Code of Ethics in particular situations. The Federal government would not permit a professional society to suspend or expel a person from membership on grounds of race, gender, anticompetitive motives, personal vendetta, etc.
B. To meet due process requirements, the accused must have an opportunity to be heard, to be represented by counsel, and to undertake an appeal. Some professional associations have, for example, a mini-trial in front of a panel of judges. In such mini-trials, the panel typically makes a recommendation to the association's board of directors, which makes the final determination on punishment. A separate body must act as appellate reviewers.
Considerations regarding due process:
- Fulfilling the due process requirements is expensive and problematic, because judges must be flown to a central location for the hearing, and the presence of legal counsel is standard.
- Because professional associations do not have investigative arms, they must rely solely on presentations of the complainant and the accused. Often the judges find themselves unable to determine the truth and decline to find in favor of the complaintant because the complainant failed to carry the burden of proof.
- Also, the judges, the appellate reviewers, and the association are not covered by the type of immunity enjoyed by Federal and state judges. If the judges make a mistake and suspend or expel a member or make a public statement about a member or another individual or institution which is based on faulty determinations, they can be sued individually and collectively for defamation on anti-trust violations.
2. Has ALA had an enforcement procedure in the past?
The enforcement of ALA documents has focused on the Library Bill of Rights. After its adoption, some members called for a "policing" effort to publicize censorship problems and bring pressure upon authorities to correct conditions conducive to censorship. After nearly a 20 year debate, a Program of Action in Support of the Library Bill of Rights was adopted. This first Program of Action was developed by the IFC and approved by Council. It created a mechanism where complaints about censorship incidents were reported to the Office of Intellectual Freedom and acted upon by the Intellectual Freedom Committee. Under this Program, 3 fact finding projects were undertaken between 1969 and 1970. The three complaints investigated under the Program of Action made it clear that cases involving intellectual freedom also might raise issues of tenure, academic status, ethical practices, and a variety of other matters. In 1970, a case involving denied employment made it clear that the Program only dealt with the Library Bill of Rights. The Intellectual Freedom Committee rewrote the Program of Action to allow jurisdiction over all ALA policies on intellectual freedom and tenure. At the 1971 Midwinter meeting, the Library Administrative Division and the Association of College and Research Libraries claimed vested interests in investigations, particularly those involving tenure of academic librarians. A membership group, appointed by the ALA president, presented the Program of Action for Mediation, Arbitration, and Inquiry to Council in June 1971. It was adopted and the first Program of Action rescinded.
The new Program of Action established a Staff Committee on Mediation, Arbitration, and Inquiry (SCMAI), which functioned somewhat as the IFC had under the old document. In addition to intellectual freedom problems, the new committee handled cases involving tenure, professional status, fair employment practices, ethical practices, and due process as set forth in ALA policies. In June 1990, the SCMAI was replaced by the Standing Committee on Review, Inquiry, and Mediation (SCRIM). Lack of funding caused the SCRIM to cease operations in September, 1992.
3. What can be done about violations of the Code of Ethics?
Libraries are encouraged to adopt the Code of Ethics as a policy. With the ALA Code of Ethics as a local policy, enforcement moves to the local level. Violations of the Code of Ethics may also be a violation of local, state, or Federal law. For example, many states have laws regarding confidentiality of library user's records, which is also addressed in Principle III of the Code of Ethics. In this case, dealing with a violation through the court system would be a possibility. Principle V addresses the workplace, another example of where there are many laws to protect the rights and welfare of workers. While an employer or employee in violation of this Code of Ethics principle should be accountable, there are many agencies at the state and Federal level designated to handle these infractions.
4. How do other professional associations enforce codes of ethics?
Many examples of codes can be found with any internet search. Websites of organizations with which ALA may have some commonality, though not in all cases, are listed below. Only those organizations with some kind of license or certification that can be withdrawn seem to have enforceable codes. In some cases, membership to an organization can be withdrawn, but this may not have real major consequences for the individual if membership is not required by the individual's profession.
5. Why have a Code of Ethics if there is no enforcement?
The answer to this question can be found in the preamble to the principles—
As members of the American Library Association, we recognize the importance of codifying and making known to the profession and to the general public the ethical principles that guide the work of librarians, other professionals providing information services, library trustees and library staffs.
Ethical dilemmas occur when values are in conflict. The American Library Association Code of Ethics states the values to which we are committed, and embodies the ethical responsibilities of the profession in this changing information environment.
We significantly influence or control the selection, organization, preservation, and dissemination of information. In a political system grounded in an informed citizenry, we are members of a profession explicitly committed to intellectual freedom, and the freedom of access to information. We have a special obligation to ensure the free flow of information and ideas to present and future generations.
6. What can I as an individual do to help ensure that the values and the principles of the Code are upheld?
The Code offers guidelines for responsible behavior and sets forth a common basis for resolving ethical dilemmas encountered in daily practice. You can obtain a copy of the Code and post it where you and others in your workplace can see it daily.

Warm It Up: Tips for a Cozy Dining Room
With October behind us and the winter season looming large, I start thinking of warm soups, fresh baked bread, and gathering around the table to share a meal — now's the time to cozy up your dining room. Here are five easy ways to bring some warmth to your table.
1. Add some fabric to the tabletop. Covering bare surfaces helps add warmth to your table. This DIY table runner is from Better Homes & Gardens.
2. Think about some extra cushions. Protect your eaters from the cold chill of a bare chair — add some cushioning to help them really sink in and stay awhile. These little hanging cushions are from Martha Stewart.
3. Greenery or branches add a touch of the outdoors. There's nothing like bringing the outdoors in to remind you that you're snug and warm inside. This branch centerpiece is from Better Homes & Gardens.
4. White twinkle lights always set a warm stage. I love twinkle lights year-round, but they're especially cozy this time of year. Check out this twinkle light chandelier from Grosgrain Fabulous.
5. Consider alternate seating. Sometimes I pull my old comfortable wingback up to the table if we need some extra seating — if I had a little sofa, I'd pull it up too! This little settee is from West Elm.

Ex-tycoon Khodorkovsky marks 10 years in prison, his case profound influence on Russia
MOSCOW – Jailed former oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky on Friday marks 10 years since his arrest, which has become a key turning point in Russia's recent history.
The jailing of Khodorkovsky was widely seen as a punishment for challenging President Vladimir Putin's power. His arrest and the subsequent dismantling of his Yukos oil company sent a chilling signal to others and allowed Putin to consolidate his power and tighten state control over the nation's energy sector.
Khodorkovsky, once Russia's richest man, was arrested Oct. 25, 2003 when masked special forces stormed his plane on the tarmac of a Siberian airport. He was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to eight years in prison.
In 2010, Khodorkovsky was handed a second prison term for stealing from his own Yukos oil company — the sentence interpreted by many as an instrument to keep him in jail until Putin won a third presidential term.
Khodorkovsky is set to be released in August 2014, and his partner Platon Lebedev, who was arrested a few months earlier, stands to walk free in May 2014. Their supporters fear, however, that investigators could be preparing yet another set of charges to keep them behind bars.
In May, a top liberal economist fled Russia saying he wanted to escape pressure from a new probe focusing on an independent report that was critical of the 2010 verdict. Investigators claimed that its authors had a conflict of interest because they had previously received money from Khodorkovsky.
Speaking to The Associated Press in New York City earlier this week, Khodorkovsky's son, Pavel Khodorkovsky, said his father tries not to focus on the prospect of being released: "He is not going to think about any possibility of his release and is not going to try and worry himself too much about what's coming next, because, as you can understand, for a person who has spent 10 years in jail, it's nerve-racking to try and always look forward to any particular date because that date has been changed in the past."
At the time of his arrest, Khodorkovsky was estimated to have a fortune of around $15 billion, making him Russia's richest person. During Putin's first term as president, Khodorkovsky challenged his power by funding opposition parties and was also believed to harbor personal political ambitions.
His actions defied an unwritten pact between Putin and top Russian tycoons, under which the government refrained from reviewing privatization deals that made them enormously rich in the years after the Soviet collapse on condition they don't meddle in politics.
While pressure mounted on Khodorkovsky in the months preceding his arrest, it still came as a shock for many, including himself.
Asked in an interview earlier this year what he would have done back then if he knew before his arrest that he would spend the next 10 years in prison, Khodorkovsky answered: "I'm afraid I would have shot myself. For me back then, my experience today would have been quite a shock."
Khodorkovsky's company, Russia's biggest oil firm at the time and a darling of portfolio investors, was sold off in pieces, with its most lucrative assets ending up in the hands of state-owned Rosneft.
Khodorkovsky's lawyer, Vadim Klyuvgant, described his arrest as a family tragedy that also has "broken lives of many people who worked in the company."
"It's obvious that it was the most important goal of his arrest or at least one of the most important goals: to break him, to make him do what they wanted him to do," Klyuvgant told the AP. "But they failed ... His spirit is not broken."

Looks like MS has gotten pretty aggressive in the war to stop MS warez. Take a look at this.
It's the price they pay for giving the average user so much grief, i.e ME! I don't use XP corporate yet, but I plan to in the near future, for IIS 5. This feature seems like a good idea for MS but extremely annoying for corporate users who have to deal with this.Microsoft is planning what could end up being quite a shock for the Windows XP warez world, and what currently looks to be one of the most amazing moves made by Microsoft since Windows Product Activation was introduced.
Currently, Microsoft is in the works of completely rewriting the algorithm for the way Windows XP Corporate keys are generated, and is rewriting the code for Windows XP to recognize this new algorithm. This new code will be an added feature of Service Pack 1 due out later this year.
At the present moment, an upgrade to Windows XP SP1 from Windows XP with no SP installation will not give any problems or errors about an invalid CD-Key on a corporate version of Windows XP. This is because the new algorithm feature has been switched off in SP1 upgrades. To get to see this new feature, you would have to slipstream SP1 into the Windows XP installation media and setup Windows. Once youve reached the CD-key, no current Corporate Windows XP key (none of the 75 that weve tried) will work, as they are all invalid. Even if a corporate key is managed to be found, the chances of it working when SP1 final comes out are slim to none, as Microsoft is rumored to still be working on the algorithm for SP1 for Corporate customers.
So why is Microsoft keeping this a secret? To put it mildly, they are a bit perturbed that warezers have been able to exploit the corporate edition of Windows XP to completely bypass WPA. They are planning to keep it a complete surprise until SP1 final has been released and shut down as many warez users from using Windows XP as possible. They know if its made widely known what they are planning, nobody will upgrade to SP1 until an appropriate patch has been made.
I'm sure a crack for SP1 will be made shortly after its release. Not saying that MS isn't doing a good job, but there are tons of people who love to screw over MS, can't say I blame them, though I don't completely condone warez, I do enjoy seeing a company that releases software with holes some script kiddies can find, somewhat disturbed by the amount of warez that exists of their products.And as far as patches go, as far as we can guess right now the only patch that is going to work will be the ever popular "Reset" patch. If you slipstream a corporate version of Windows XP as youre supposed to do, it will upgrade the algorithm. Note that the slipstream patches the DLL files which generate the CD keys, it doesnt replace them. This is why you cannot slipstream a non corporate version of Windows XP and drop the corporate files in and expect the installation to work properly. Windows also checks for the DLL files version numbers and if they dont match, errors will be created during install. It could be possible to find these DLLs, replace the version numbers with those of SP1, and put them back into the installation media, but youd also have to find a way to replicate the Microsoft signature on the DLLs as well as the CAB files for setup to actually copy the files to the hard drive.
Geez, that would be rough. So if a small, local company, had a disgruntled worker who stole and published their key, then MS would sue the company? Seems awful wrong to me.The first thing that comes to mind when thinking about this is that the current Corporate users of Windows XP are going to have to get a new CD-key reissued for their versions of Windows with SP1. Microsoft has decided that the cost of current corporate customers having to get a new CD-key is less that what they are losing in the market of Windows XP being distributed as a corporate installation amongst warez users. Microsoft is also planning to warn those with corporate editions of Windows XP to not let the CD-keys slip into the mainstream. The EULA is going to be rewritten to fit a new type of Corporate release and its been rumored that if a customers key is to get into the market, Microsoft may take legal action against those consumers.
So I have to watch my XP all day to make sure it doesn't dial some 1-800 number? How would a cable/dsl user protect against that. That feature, if included would be extremely disturbing, I hope that somebody gets a patch out for that pronto. I don't care what they claim it will transmit, I don't trust anybody, and that policy usually works well, but if I can't trust my computer, well, then what do I do? I can't babysit it all day, maybe a new job will be created, computersitter. People who do nothing but watch a computer to make sure it doesn't give MS any info. I wouldn't mind being one of those, if the pay was good.Another rumor that is running rounds at Redmond is that Microsoft may actually include a type of Phone home feature in the corporate versions of Windows XP only. This feature would connect to a Microsoft server upon connection and deliver the IP address of the connected computer and what the Installation ID is. Before privacy advocates begin screaming, realize that if Microsoft was to want to do this, they could very easily make provisions in the EULA that they (Microsoft) have included a feature that makes sure the Corporate edition of Windows XP is not installed on more computers than its contract is made out for, and the computers IP address and the Installation ID may be transmitted to a local Microsoft server thought 128-bit encryption. No more information would be transmitted to the servers, and for more information, see the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Its a possibility, as corporate versions of Windows arent exactly tailored for use by home and everyday users, so the EULA could very well be expanded to include such a feature.
Too true, it is one feature we could all do without. But one MS says we will have nonetheless, truly annoying. I hope the decide on something a little less, well, disturbing. Maybe something that is a little less active. Something that will let users opt-out of that phone home feature. The article, though I posted it all, can be found at http://www.betaone.net/archives/00000060.phpAs far as activation goes on a legal copy of Windows XP, we slipstreamed our copy and it installed and activated without any problems. The algorithm for normal customers will stay the same apparently. So far, only the corporate version of XP gets the new revamped algorithm feature. Its one less feature I can do without personally

Mirwaiz condemns Govt for disallowing Friday prayers at Jamia
Srinagar, Apr 13: Incarcerated chairman of Hurriyat Conference (M), Mirwaiz Umar Farooq condemned the government for disallowing congregational Friday prayers at the historic Jamia Masjid in Srinagar and sealing of the grand mosque on the auspicious occasion of Mehraj-e-Alam.
In a statement, Mirwaiz also denounced the government's decision of imposing strict curfew in downtown Srinagar majority of South Kashmir areas and caging resistance leaders either in their homes or in police stations terming it as dictatorship of the state.
"Repeated curbs curfews and restrictions is the acceptance of moral defeat of failed rulers," he added.
Mirwaiz said that the ruling dispensation has thrown every principle of democracy to the winds only to secure its chair and hang on to it. "Every right of civilians human, political, social or religious is violated with impunity through use of brute force and there is complete lack of accountability. Even the basic right to life is a huge casualty in Kashmir. People are not even safe within the four walls of their homes and are killed indiscriminately by the forces," he added.
Expressing anguish and serious concern over the targeted killing of Kashmir's young which has almost become a daily affair in Kashmir, he said that killing and repression are used as policy to force people and the resistance leadership into submission.
Mirwaiz said that Kashmir dispute is a reality and use of force cannot deter a people who have been unrelentingly struggling for the past 30 years in particular, in the face of worst repression and despite Indian states huge military presence and might on ground here.
"If 30 years of oppression despite tremendous sacrifices and loss could not make us give up fighting for the realisation of our just political cause, does it not convey that people will not yield to force come what may. Today our youth are forced to take up arms as a natural reaction to oppression and repression," he said.
On the brutal rape and murder of the Kathua girl, Mirwaiz termed the heinous crime an open assault on humanity and civilisation. "That any humans can stoop to such level for the fulfilment of their nefarious agenda of eviction of a small community of bakerwals and then rallies and bands are organised in support of such beasts is unbelievable," he said.
Mirwaiz said that every human irrespective of their religion, ideology, belief or background should in unison demand an exemplary punishment for these beasts who have shamed mankind. "To fall prey to the communalisation of such incident and support rallies and bandhs in its favor does no good to the community that is doing so in fact it brings shame to them," Mirwaiz added.
APDP's 2019 Calendar: An old plea in a new year: Where are our loved ones you took?
Srinagar, Jan 15: For the third straight year, the Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) Tuesday released a calendar reiterating the forced disappearances of the thousands of people during the last three decades of political conflict in Kashmir.
A group of people, longing for their snatched loved ones, displayed the calendar at Srinagar's Pratap Park; their silence asking the same questions they have been asking for years now: How long do we wait? Where is our kin? Are they dead? Can we, at least, get their bodies back?
The title page of the calendar bears a moving illustration by the noted sketch-artist, Suhail Naqshbandi: A female clad in red pheran, half of her face mournful and weary, the other half worn down to bare bones as she holds a photo of the disappeared person she has been longing for. A few shades of dark and grey that look like a cloud form the background.
Inside are 12 leaves, each carrying a sketch of the disappeared person, with a brief bio of the person–where, when and in what circumstances the person was taken.
Among the parents of the disappeared ones is Ali Mohammad Dar from Noorpora Magam.
His 18-year-old son, Ghulam Mohiuddin, was picked up by the government forces in 1991, never to return.
Dar says the calendar made him realize that he was not the only one who lost his son."There are hundreds of parents like me," said Dar, whose forehead was strapped with a bandage as he had recently met with an accident.
Chairperson APDP, Parveena Ahanger—whose own son is among the victims of forced disappearance––said that coming out with the calendar was an attempt to keep alive the stories of the missing ones.
"There have been so many disappearances in Kashmir that two calendars could not feature them all. We released the third one and will continue to feature all others too in the coming years," she said.
Parveena said that APDP was planning to send the calendars out of Kashmir too, especially to the educational institutions, so that the people and students outside the valley know about the tragedies that have befallen the families of the disappeared."It has been 29 years now since our loved ones disappeared. I ask both the government of Jammu and Kashmir, and India that if they deny our beloved ones' disappearances then where are they? At least, handover their dead bodies if they aren't alive!" a teary-eyed Parveena pled.
Asked about the inquiry by High Court and State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) regarding the disappearances, Ahanger said: "Court (referring to judiciary) only does 'inquiry' and avoids our cases by directing them to SHRC. When court, which is the highest authority, is not able to deliver justice, what can we expect from SHRC?"
Parveena said she did not trust the politicians who "claim to help but in reality are interested in gaining power". "I trust my Lord. We APDP) will continue this movement till our last breath and will ensure that none from the younger generation suffers like we did."
APDP is an organization that was begun as a one woman endeavour.
Parveena, who had lost her son in the '90s, strived to mobilise and provide support to other such families, who had lost their loved ones to enforced disappearances.
Her aim: to put pressure on the authorities to investigate the estimated 8000-10,000 cases of involuntary and enforced disappearances in Kashmir.
Rajouri set to become J&K's first district to fully comply with JJA norms
RAJOURI, JAN 15: Rajouri will soon become the first district in the State to be fully complying with all the laid down provisions of Juvenile Justice Act (JJA) and having all the structures and institutions provided under the Act.
This was stated in a meeting chaired by Chairperson Selection Committee, Justice (Retd) Hasnain Masoodi which was also attended by District Development Commissioner Rajouri, Aijaz Asad.
The Child Welfare Committee, Juvenile Justice Board, District Child Protection Unit and the Special Juvenile Police Unit are already in place in the district.
The district is in process of setting up Village Level Child Protection Committees (VLCPCs) and Block Level Child Protection Committees (BLCPCs) in accordance with rules/guidelines by February 15, 2019.
The setting up of VLCPCs and BLCPCs will give the necessary impetus to full implementation of Juvenile Justice Act in the district. It has been already announced that an effort would be made to have VLCPCs and BLCPCs in place in the State by March 31, 2019.
MD ICPS G A Sofi, SMD and Member Secretary ICPS would coordinate with District Administration and oversee the creation of proposed structures.
Meanwhile, Justice Masoodi accompanied by Members SCOC– Rajiv Khajuria, Dr. Rouf — and ICPS officers on a day-long visit to Rajouri, inaugurated two-day capacity building workshop for the Juvenile Justice stakeholders in collaboration with 'Save the Children'.
Earlier, the meeting decided to explore the possibility of shifting CCI (Girls)/Nariniketan from the present rented building to any other suitable place. The meeting was informed that the District administration has already identified a plot of land measuring 15 kanal at Rajouri for construction of CCI for Girls which will be replete with all modern facilities.
Chairperson CWC Mohammad Iqbal Shawl was asked to coordinate with District Administration for prompt possession of identified land for CCI construction.
Congress will give top priority to trade, commerce and tourism: Mir
Jammu, Jan 15 : While speaking in a programme of Trade, Commerce & Tourism wing of Congress to access the difficulties, problems and ground realities of the people of this line ,which was participated by the representatives of that wing from the whole J&K state, G A Mir President PradeshCongress Committee who was Chief Guest on the occasion besides congratulating Rakesh Wazir for his new assignment as head of this wing of Congress for J&K State said that Trade, Commerce & Tourism would be the top priority of Congress if it comes to power in the next elections.
He said that Youth of the Country and J&K state in particular want employment and that cannot be generated until unless we focus our all energies for the revival of Trade, Commerce and more particularly the Tourism in our state which provides maximum job opportunities to the people of our state and which had got neglected miserably in the previous regime of BJP-PDP combine which in fact had no policy or concrete thinking with regard to that and this could be judged from the fact that Tourists which were there at its peak in J&K in 2012 when Congress led government was there in power in the state reached to the lowest level in last six years in 2017 when BJP-PDP government was in power and this downward trend is going on like that and as a result most of the people of the state became un employed and are now running for their survival.
He said that people of the state want jobs and not mere slogans and since the things were not tackled properly as a result leaving aside new jobs even the people who were working became un employed and thus it is very important that a concrete policy for the revival of Tourism which is decreasing with every passing day and as such revival of Industry, Trade & Commerce besides Tourism in the state is the need of hour which are major job providers in the state and can act as major source of livelihood of the people of the state.
Rakesh Wazir President Trade,Commerce & Tourism wing of Congress while speaking on the occasion besides thanking the organization for giving the responsibility of heading such an important wing of the party said that he will leave no stone un turned for the upliftment of Trade, Commerce & Tourism of the state because these are the back bones of economy and employment of any state and until unless focused approach is not adopted towards this sector employment cannot be generated and more particularly when state is passing through a turmoil and condition & situation of the state is becoming from bad to worse as for as arrival of Tourists, and coming of new industries and trade is concerned and thus consolidated approach towards these sectors with the help of all can only bring the things on track.
He further said that very soon with the active guidance, help and approval of the leadership this wing after having full state body, will have organization at district and then up to every small or big town or village level so that ways and means of employment are generated at every nook and corner of the state and proper policy and programme is chalked out with rightful and clear aim in mind.

[Illinois] Coarse-grained Simulation of Ion Channels
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Research Statement
My research focuses on large scale simulation of charge transport phenomena in solid-state and soft-matter systems. My group investigates the properties of ultra-scaled MOS devices, including size-quantization in nanoscale channels and thermal phenomena, particularly generation and transport of phonons. Transport is studied with particle Monte Carlo models with corrections to account for size quantization. This work has led to the development of the Monte Carlo simulator MOCA 2D and MOCA 3D. In the soft-matter area, we investigate transport of ions in nanoscale biological and biomimetic membranes, using similar engineering approaches based on Monte Carlo simulation where the water background is included implicitly. Simulations work has focused on the study of biological ionic channels, with the development of the transport Monte Carlo code bioMOCA, a full 3-D self-consistent simulator. Large scale studies with bioMOCA are conducted on the national TeraGrid computational infrastructure, in collaboration with the Network for Computational Nanotechnology (NCN) and the NIH Center for Design of Biomimetic Nanoconductors and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). Educational activities are also carried out in co-operation with the National Center for Learning and Teaching of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (NCLT) for which we are developing interactive numerical tools and simulators, suitable for teaching activities and demonstrations at high-school and college level.

"The Wolverine" marks Hugh Jackman's sixth movie appearance as the clawed antihero of the same name, and film critics agree the 44-year-old actor has maintained his edge. But while many reviewers are commending Jackman for bringing depth to the character, they're more ambivalent about the rest of the film, which finds Wolverine in Japan grappling with his (im)mortality.
The Times' Kenneth Turan writes, "this latest venture reminds us how fortunate we are to have a capable, committed actor who exudes masculinity in the title role." Unfortunately, he adds, "not even Jackman can completely rescue his character's latest outing. As directed by the usually reliable James Mangold, 'The Wolverine' is an erratic affair, more lumbering than compelling, an ambitious film with its share of effective moments that stubbornly refuses to catch fire."
In a more positive review, the San Francisco Chronicle's Mick LaSalle quips, "Somewhere along the line somebody must have had a crazy idea, that maybe for once the Wolverine required a decent script, and shouldn't rely only on action, audience goodwill and the sight of Hugh Jackman with his shirt off." He adds, "'The Wolverine' is the first film from the X-Men universe to show Jackman to full advantage … and his performance is in the best action tradition of strength and humor."
USA Today's Claudia Puig calls the movie "fairly engrossing, if occasionally convoluted." Although some moments are clichéd, formulaic or tedious, "The Wolverine" still represents "a marked improvement over 2009's 'X Men Origins: Wolverine,'" and it's "anchored by a strong performance by Jackman, who embodies Wolverine like no one else could."
A.O. Scott of the New York Times finds "The Wolverine" to be "something of an anomaly in the current, unstoppable wave of comic-book-based movies. It has all the requisite special effects and big-ticket action sequences … but it also has an unusually intimate, small-scale feel." He adds, "Mr. Jackman, for all his growling, flexing and macho wisecracking, keeps our attention focused on Logan's feelings. So does Mr. Mangold, even as he obeys the imperatives of the action-franchise machine."
The Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips also appreciates the film's scaled-down approach, writing, "The results are quite good — the same old angst and grandiosity writ smaller than usual, and better for it." He goes on to say, "'The Wolverine' keeps its characters front and center, and only near the end does it turn into a routine, grinding action movie. Along the way there's a swell battle atop a speeding bullet train, the film's highlight."
Jocelyn Noveck of the Associated Press calls the film "fairly satisfying if not stellar" and says, "whether you're an X-Men fan or not, it's Jackman that makes 'The Wolverine' worth watching." She adds, "At this point he could play the role in his sleep — but he doesn't, and the nuances he and director Mangold bring to the character lift this enterprise up from the usual blockbuster-sequel fare."
Given the praise Jackman has garnered, it's easy to see how he racked up six Wolverine appearances — and counting. No. 7, "X-Men: Days of Future Past," is due next summer.

Since I have just attended the Bridal Fair in Edmonton and then in Calgary – weddings are on my mind! I was married last year in the Alberta Rocky Mountains and having witnessed many weddings over the past few years I'm going to tell you why, specifically Canmore Alberta is the best place to get married.
1. It's Better Than Banff
This statement may seem fairly bold but let me explain… How many weddings did you go to last summer that were at The Banff Springs Hotel? Buffalo Mountain Lodge? Rimrock? Probably a dozen! Everyone has the same wedding photos in front of the castle and on main street Banff. Canmore on the other hand, is quiet and unique.
2. You Don't Need Flowers
Flowers can become pricey. In Canmore, a few bouquets for the Bride and wedding party will look classy, chic and clean in your photos. The mountain wedding backdrop takes care of the rest! Try Willow Haven Flowers.
3. You Can Have The Best Photographer
Richard Allan Brown has been photographing for over 20 years. He knows all the best and secret spots. If you want to go to The Old Georgetown Mine, you can go to the Mine! If you want a snapshot at Grassi Lakes he'll make it happen! Plus, he's irresistibly charming.
4. The Cost of an Outdoor Wedding Permit
It's $175 for non-residents and $99 for residents from the Town of Canmore Municipality. There are multiple locations to choose from accommodating all wedding sizes and then you've cut out the $1000 cost of renting a ceremony venue.
5. Availability
Some brides may experience trying to book their wedding and be given 2 dates for NEXT summer to choose from. This does happen in Canmore from time to time but if you choose an up and coming venue like the newly renovated Wild Orchid Bistro you'll be able to have your pick!
6. Your Guests Can Afford to Stay
It's true, attending weddings can be expensive, a hassle and put a financial strain on the people we care about the most. I did a quick average of the most popular hotels in Banff and Canmore and averaged weekend summer rates. The average I found in Banff is around $238 for a standard no-frills hotel room. In Canmore I found it's around $225 for a 2-3 bedroom suite with a kitchen. Enough said.
7. Outdoor Activities
Canmore has a wide spread smorgasbord of activities. Going on a nature walk, a challenging hike or a helicopter tour can be a great way to bring the family together. Alpine Helicopter Tours is a great place to start!
8. The Pubs are Fun
If you're planning on going out after the wedding and celebrating, lots of places have live music and great pub food. The Georgetown Inn never charges cover for their live bands and has the best Fish & Chips in the Bow Valley!
9. The Pool
If you so chose to have your wedding at a venue like Mystic Springs Chalets & Hot Pools you'll find the largest outdoor heated pool in Canmore. It's better than the jam packed Banff Hot Springs by a landslide.
10. Fresh Mountain Air and Perfect Pictures
If the top 9 reasons haven't convinced you then I have included some photos of various weddings around Canmore to help change your mind. It's wonderful in the winter, spring, summer or fall. You can't beat that fresh mountain air.
The Top 10 Reasons you Should have a Rocky Mountain Wedding
Since I have just attended the Bridal Fair in Edmonton and then in Calgary – weddings are on my mind! I was married last year in the Alberta Rocky Mountains and having witnessed many weddings over the past few years I'm going to tell you why, specifically Canmore Alberta is the best place to get married.

I think I will do this post a little backwards. Start with what is completed on the ship to date, with the engine, the ray gun and the two bayonets (picked these up at a tag sale, they are from the Indian wars right after the civil war, thought they would look good here, will actually come out of the side a little lower than they are here) just sitting on top for some perspective. Obviously a great deal is to be added to the top, as said, from the steam engine forward will look very much like the TP Baracuda and all the drive pulleys, belts, etc have to be added to the back as well as a great deal of trim out. I figure I am about half way finished now. Anyway, here are the pics, if you want info on the details, it will be below them.
The bottom is close to finished. Several guns and details have to be added, and where the rear drive wheel joins has to completely reworked.
The hardest part was getting the paint right on the bottom. Went through about six applications before settling on this one, and it may change again. Anyway, I had the frame built and the wheels attached and it was time to make the shell of the bottom. I used the hoops I had picked up and put ribs all along the bottom.
At this point I was thinking I would cover them with this thick fiberboard. I tried it and didnt like it. I realized quickly it would never form correctly over the ribs.
I realized I would have to go back to basic boat building design to get the curve and shape I wanted. Using basswood, I cut strips and covered the ribs. I prepainted them with what I thought might look good. The shape came out fine, but I wasnt happy with the look. I added some details of things coming out of the side, fueling pipes, couple of cannons or whatever. These get changed later again.
Ok, wasnt happy with the body, but let it simmer while I worked on the nose of the shell. I had a what I think was an old planter, some kind of resin material, had some nice designs on it and I had thought for some time it would be the nose of the shell, and that possibly it would have a drop down door and a brass cannon I had would roll out. I attached it as the nose and it looked good, but I realized it was not large enough for the brass cannon. So back to the drawing board and the parts bins.
I had 20 heavy spacers I had gotten from ebay that I intend to use as the side top cannons, there would be 18 of them eventually, so I had two extras that I could use for the nose guns. I cut and hinged a drop down section, mounted the gun barrels, and added some rangefinder lenses I took out of a Polaroid land camera. I found when it closed that the support chains snagged, but adding a spring pulled them back fine.
So now I had the guns mounted and they would close fine, but now I needed a way for them to be opened and closed by the crew. I ran a small rope to the back of them and down through the bottom of the nose and built a pulley with a spoke wheel attached to a spindle made from lamp parts, a chain running from the rope through a small block and tackle. Turning the spoked wheel lifts and closes the entire gun setup nicely.
Next was the cowcatcher. I bought some 1/16 by 1/2 inch raw steel strips and hammered and bent them into the shapes, ground down points and mounted them on a grooved board with large brass screws that once held my sons bunk beds together. I cut a round section of wood, cut a groove to hold the tops of the metal strips and it was finished.

Darker Than Black 2
So I have people say that Darker than Black 2 sucks compared to the 1st but I really enjoyed it so just wanted the opinions of others here. So what does everyone think?
Stop with these threads - gah.

It took everything good about the first season threw it into a wood chipper and we were left with a Drunk Pedophile, Alvin the Chipmunk, a plot revolving a terribly written character, and more unanswered questions!!! While the show is famous for never giving the audience the full story, I believe this season was the result of someone going into Tensai Okamura's toilet and scraping off the residue! and that is what I...Belif!
Evangelion: 3.0 Do (Not) Get In The Fucking Robot Shinji
Checked through the forums, and there were no topics like this (Other than a closed one.).. So I think it's fine.
Darker than black 2 .. I couldn't force myself to watch past the 2nd episode when it first came out.
I didn't like that ''main character girl'' at all.. Not in the least.. The ''rugged'' Hei just seemed out of place, and it had done 1 thing that a sequel shouldn't do.. Go in a totally different direction than the first one.
Basically everything that I enjoyed in Darker than black was taken out of Darker than black 2, or changed. (The undercover settings, Hei's regular life, the situations that Hei got into, and the colorful side-characters with a nice ''there's more to them than ya think''.).
Personally I didn't enjoy the ''2nd season'' at all.
Awake and kicking...
I liked series 2, but I am in the minority on that one.
True, series 1 was better but people act like series 2 was awful when it was actually pretty good.
If Darker than black ever returned then I think a prologue set during heavens war would be a good idea.
One more thing, before any of you judge series 2 please remember that it graced us with this one pure moment of bad assery.
Then hang thy head in shame.
Wasn't as good as the first but still worth watching. I agree with what a previous poster said about the lack of interesting side characters hurt the show. Guy Kurosawa is an awesome character and he and Season 1's side characters really made me love Season 1. Season 2 just didn't have any new characters as good as November 11 or that yakuza guy Hei befriended and instead gave us an annoying girl protagonist. Season 2 also makes a whole lot more sense after watching Gaiden. I liked gruff Hei though and the action scenes were still awesome.
So I'm definately a Season 2 fan and would gladly watch a Season 3 if it were as good as 2.
Honestly the second season was definatly not has good as the 1 series. thier where alot of unexplianed detials in the main polt. and thier were so many random plot twists in the last few episodes. that you were left saying wtf just happened here. i honestly wouldn't recommend you watch it. you would be better off just skipping this half of the series. it serves no purpose to the plot of the original series. although, the opening is really catchy and nice to listen to.
1 was best, but thats not saying 2 was bad :-)
He wasn't nearly as sexy in #2, that's really why I was disappointed.
Somebody talk to me!! >.<
I loved the first season and was excited for the second... only to be essentially shit on. It really was a bizarre change.
not the first anime to have writers forget how to do their job.
That is a better thread, which shows go off the deep-end most in the second half/second season, etc..

I actually liked it myself as I found Hei's fall into drunkard and dis-shoveled state
realistic. But whatever to each their own I guess, though I still wish for a 3rd season that probably will never happen.

I feel that season 2 while not as good as season 1 it was still worth watching.
El Psy Congroo
Even if the second season isn't as good, if you're a fan on the first season, you'll probably still enjoy it enough to make it worth it. I would suggest watching the 4 episode OVA that bridges the 2 seasons first. It actually came out after the second season did, but you'll be far less confused if you watch it.
My thoughts, never to be erased. My pain, never to be forgotten.

When I traveled to Arizona with Ishita to create Checkpoint Nation, I wrote:
It was the first time I had experienced the overwhelming size of the desert sky. The sunset was magnificent, and the endless stretch of cacti and desert rocks were lit up with the last pink moments of twilight. But the sunset's beauty was overpowered by what I had seen in the rest of Arizona: men and women in shackles (feet chained to waist, waist chained to wrists), a morgue filled twice-over with John & Jane Does, a wall that divides families and ancient lands. From this view, the sunset had a whole different meaning: it marked the beginning of one more cold, waterless night for so many migrants forced to hide in the militarized desert.
There is a human rights crisis on our soil that no one is talking about. Migrant men, women, and children are driven by extreme poverty to cross the U.S.-Mexico border — and dying for it. One one side of our border wall: flood lights, empty desert, and countless human remains. On the other: discarded water jugs, and empty desert. The border wall now stretches across Arizona in the easiest places to cross, so that migrants are purposefully funneled into the most treacherous conditions. The remains of over 6,000 human bodies have been found in the desert since militarized immigration policies started in the mid 1990s. And for every body discovered, there are many more not found — and innumerable families who will never know what happened. No matter your opinion on immigration reform, this is a crisis that all of us, as humans, are responsible for addressing — and ending. Join with Breakthrough: WATCH. SHARE. ACT.
For information on how to end this crisis on our border, visit Coalición de Derechos Humanos and No More Deaths.
