'Bear trials with patience' – Message of Head of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat
During his weekly Friday Sermon, the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad confirmed the sad news that yet another Ahmadi Muslim had been martyred for his faith in Pakistan. Furthermore, two other Ahmadi Muslims were the victims of a terrorist bombing in the city of Peshawar.
Muhammad Azim Tahir of Uch Sharif in Pakistan was martyred on 26 September 2009 in the presence of his wife and daughter. Surely, to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return.
Mr Tahir was returning from a family wedding on his motorbike at 8.30pm when two unknown persons brandishing a firearm forced him to stop his vehicle. In the confusion, Mr Tahir, his wife and daughter, fell from the motorbike. As Mr Tahir went to help his family the assailants stopped him and pointed a gun towards him. Mr Tahir pleaded with them to take whatever they wanted and to leave him and his family alone but as he said this one of the assailants shot him in the temple and he died on the spot in sight of his wife and daughter. The assailants fled the scene. Muhammad Azim Tahir was killed simply because he was an Ahmadi Muslim. He is survived by his wife, two sons and daughter.
Also on 26 September 2009 two Ahmadi brothers, Riaz Ahmad (40) and Imtiaz Ahmad (20) were the victims of a huge car bomb blast in a commercial district of Peshawar. Both brothers died as a result of the bombing.
Speaking about the continued atrocities faced by Ahmadis, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
"The opponents of our Jamaat can murder a few of our members; they can loot Ahmadis of their wealth; they can destroy our buildings; they can stop us constructing mosques. But they can never weaken our faith."
His Holiness counselled members of the Jamaat to bear all persecution with fortitude as the Holy Qur'an had taught that 'surely, Allah is with those who patiently persevere.' He said the sacrifices made by Ahmadis would never be in vain. Every drop of blood shed by an Ahmadi would become a source of the community's success.
He continued that even Ahmadi children were now a target for cruelty and violence. School children were often taunted in the hope that they would leave their education in fear; in Faisalabad Ahmadi medical students were suspended in 2008 having been subjected to physical and mental violence from anti-Ahmadi extremists; and most recently in District Layyah four Ahmadi children were imprisoned for months on end in the most inhospitable conditions on baseless charges. His Holiness said:
"If the parents of these children at any point denied the truth of Ahmadiyyat, then immediately all charges would be dropped. It is the vain hope of the opponents that Ahmadis leave their religion as a result of their intimidation and cruelty."
His Holiness concluded his sermon by warning Ahmadis worldwide that this persecution of the Jamaat could escalate. He said:
"The members of the Jamaat worldwide need to focus on prayer. Because the way the situation is developing it seems that Ahmadis, particularly in Pakistan, are going to face increased cruelty and hardship. The ignorant opponents do not realise that their deeds are not harming our community but in fact are harming the country and society at large."

text: The latest trailer for Cloud Atlas maps out the connective tissue of each recurring character and how each past (and future) life is connected. Leaping from century to century, the movie — which is based on the 2004 novel by David Mitchell — follows various lives of the same group of protagonists. From the eighteenth century to the post-apocalyptic future (where we all have facial tattoos), every kindness and cruelty changes the path of the future. So remember, be nice. Cloud Atlas will hit theaters on October 26.

We've read and heard the speculation so often in New York that it has almost become fact: Rex Ryan could be on the hot seat if the Jets struggle again.
We tend not to believe it. The Jets have overachieved in the Ryan era, and it's because of his defense. If anyone should be let go in a housecleaning, it makes more sense to look to the front office. Ryan unsurprisingly isn't worried about getting canned.
"I know I'm a great coach. What makes me a great coach is the guys that coach with me and the players that play for me, and everything else this organization has for me," Ryan said Monday on the Michael Kay Show on ESPN Radio, via Rich Cimini. "It's hard for me to look at myself not being successful. I don't even see (getting fired) as a possibility.
"It might be 10 years from now, or 15 years from now, when Woody Johnson wants to go in a different direction. That's fine. But I'm going to tell you one thing: I have complete confidence in myself. I'll leave it to the experts to say my job is on the line. I know one thing: I'm going to give everything I have to this organization ... We'll add it up at the end of the season."
Ryan actually might benefit from the Jets' awful offseason and preseason. Expectations are low. If they make the playoffs -- like we expect -- it will be viewed as a great achievement.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

(Garden Grove, CA) August 16, 2013 – There's a fine line between passion and ambition, and both of their emotional foundations are indeed different. Passion often stems from a person's dreams and aspirations to succeed not only for themselves, but also for others. Passion, in most cases, is the desire fueled by charity and good will. Ambition, the darker twin of passion, is oftentimes fueled by the sins of pride and envy, to succeed for themselves only, and others be damned. For the title character in William Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Macbeth," ambition is his sole sustenance to rule Scotland. In the expert hands of Shakespeare Orange County, this popular play proves to be an exciting end to their 2013 season.
A sole bagpiper plays melodic hymns into the night, perfectly establishing the Scottish setting (courtesy of Tress Maksimuk from the Dark Isle Pipe Band, whose appearance was for Opening Night only). After defeating the allied forces of Norway and Ireland, Macbeth (John Walcutt) and Banquo (Carl Reggiardo) return to Scotland where they encounter three witches (a wraithlike Cindy Nguyen, a cadaveric Harrison Givens, and a simply "scary as hell" Alyssa Bradac; all are frightening and movingly profound). These three specters present to the warriors a series of prophesies, most notably Macbeth's rise in political and regal power. These apparitions initially don't bother Macbeth, until a couple of predictions come true, which plants a small seed of ambition not only in the Scottish warrior, but also his wife (Evelyn Carol Case). As the two slowly become submerged into their own pool of powerlust, both take matters in their own hands by striving to become rulers of Scotland. Blood is spilled, bodies are piling up, and Scottish lords—led by the murdered king's heir, Malcom (Nick Reinhardt)—rebel against the tyrant in order to bring sanity back to Scotland.
In his last three appearances at Shakespeare Orange County (SOC), Walcutt has shown tremendous range in his roles as Cassius ("Julius Caesar"), Richard III and Malvolio ("Twelfth Night"). However, those roles are very much solidified with regard to their personality make-up and emotional journeys. The title role of Macbeth is considerably more complex because the character has to be a charismatic, likable warrior at the beginning of the play, but slowly deteriorate into a blood-thirsty, paranoid despot. Too often, talented seasoned actors emotionally rocket from 0 to 100 mph in this portrayal, showing absolutely no transition of Macbeth's transformation. Not surprisingly though, Walcutt accomplishes what is perhaps his most intricate, most effective performance at the SOC stage so far. In the beginning, his Macbeth is a respectful, loyal warrior to his comrades, his king, and especially his wife. But when he learns of these prophesies, the integrity that composes his being slowly evaporates and Walcutt harnesses his control of this deterioration with the patience of an meticulous watchmaker. The more blood he spills, the more ruthless, ambitious, and paranoid he becomes, fueling his pride which results in his downfall. It's a masterful portrayal that Walcutt achieves in this spectacular production.
Evelyn Carol Case gives an equally moving performance as Lady Macbeth, but chooses a different tactic than Walcutt. Case—a normally dynamic artist—is at first surprisingly stiff and restrained. Her eloquence of the Bard's poetics is incredible, but her physicality is very still. However, that stiffness is very deceiving; it reveals an iciness that is very reminiscent of the Evil Queen from Walt Disney's "Snow White." The evil ambition is there, but well hidden until at the magical moment where she beckons the spirits to "unsex me here,/and fill me from the crown to the toe topful/ of direst cruelty." From then on, Case transforms into an unbridled, lustful mate who becomes the catalyst to Macbeth's own ambition and emotionally castrates him for hesitating in his acts. The more evil these two commit, the more insane she becomes. There is one moment where Macbeth orders the death of Macduff's family that Case displays a look of fear that she may have gone too far when she opened this Pandora's Box of coldblooded ambition. And that fear wonderfully melts into guilt as Case tries to rub the imaginary blood from her hands during her famous, "Out, damn spot," soliloquy. Case is impressively powerful and she makes a nice match for Walcutt.
The supporting cast is uniformly perfect in their roles. Mike Peebler's Macduff is filled with a war-savvy cautiousness until his emotional armor is broken when disaster strikes him and his family; a truly heartbreaking performance. Reggiardo is a benevolent Banquo who provides the voice of reason to Macbeth's ambitions, but to no avail. Reinhardt's Malcolm is charismatic and his fluidic articulacy and projection matches that of the SOC veterans. But the impressive standout performances come from the cameo appearances of Amanda Arbues and Craig Brown. Arbues is elegantly potent as Lady Macduff, who shows a tragic maternal strength and courage, a portrayal that was a total opposite to her hilarious SOC debut in "Twelfth Night," and hopefully her two appearances this season will lead to more in the future with this Orange County theater company. And then there is Brown, who steals the stage as the drunken porter, instantly winning the audience over with his rants about the pleasures and pains of alcohol. His comedic presence, as he wonderfully accomplished as Dogberry in SOC's "Much Ado About Nothing," provided much levity to the bloody drama that occurs in "Macbeth."
But the crowning touch of this entire production is Thomas F. Bradac's flawless direction and vision, which combines period Scotland with an apocalyptic "steam-punk" scenic design and especially the wardrobe (courtesy of Katie Wilson). It's a nice anachronistic interpretation that adds to the text and performances, rather than diminishing them. This is a perfect finale for Bradac as he, after 22 years, turns over his position as artistic director to John Walcutt. And with this new visionary direction, Shakespeare Orange County will continue to evolve and grow in many years to come.
Macbeth opened August 16 and runs to August 31

The federal government is making its first move toward exiting the mortgage business by lowering the size of mortgages it will guarantee.
This could mean higher prices and bigger down payments for home buyers.
And it doesn't bode well for Realtors either.
Local news from across Southern California
Realtor Matt Epstein says the real estate game is already bad, but this news from Congress is like getting a lump of coal in a Christmas stocking.
The Federal Housing Administration will now only back loans up to $625,500 -- that's down from $729,750.
That means house hunters may no longer be able to get their dream home any time soon.
"In many states, if you say '$729,000,' they're picturing a 5 acre, 27-room home, at the top of a hill with a moat surrounding it," said Beth Peerce, President of the California Association of Realtors. "As opposed to in California, where we know in many areas, that will buy you a two-bedroom, two-bath condominium."
Realtors say the move could mean an even more serious market slow down.
And although they agree with tightening up loans, it's the timing that's off.
"Get your economy moving, get your homes selling at a normal rate, you get people not being foreclosed upon, that's the time to make changes. Not when things are at their very worst," said Peerce.

Use the Measurement of Leadership, Communication and Teamwork
The concept of measurement originated in approximately 3000 BC when humans sought to move from independent units to groups. Such socialization required establishing a set of norms in order for trade and commerce to flourish. Weights, sizes, money and time continue to be some of the more prevalent measures in our society, all of which are essential to business.
Value of Measurement
Fast-forward several thousand years and the pervasive nature of measurement is evident—a direct result of its proven cultural value. In business, measurement serves countless functions. Specifically, measurement:
Guides behavior. People's actions reflect the measurement used. Consider a recent manufacturing client who could not understand why his pallets were being shipped partially loaded. A quick investigation determined that a middle manager had recently implemented a new measure of performance: number of pallets shipped. It was to that very specific new measure that employees in shipping and receiving were responding. They increased the number of pallets shipped, innocently shrugging their shoulders as they explained: "You didn't say you wanted them to be full pallets."
Increases the visibility of performance. Performance is in and of itself intangible. Measurement offers a for this invisible result to be seen. How many? How frequently? What is the level of quality?
Focuses attention. Amidst the myriad of e-mails, text messages, phone calls, meetings, reports and people vying for other people's attention, it is inevitable that some activities will pass unnoticed. Measurement is a concise, dependable means of focusing attention where it needs to be.
Enables accountability. Numbers do not lie, and thus it is impossible to hide behind them. Organizations, departments and individuals must maintain defined standards when faced with the reality of measurement.
Facilitates feedback. It often proves difficult to discuss a person's or department's weak performance without them taking constructive criticism personally. When this happens, the accused person(s) assume a defensive position and, ultimately, little productive communication takes place. However, by discussing departmental stats or a person's performance record, the conversation flows freely because the focus has shifted to a neutral, third party—the number or measurement itself.
Increases problem prevention. Measures by themselves are worthless. However, measurements can be used to identify negative trends before they blossom into full-blown problems.
Removes bias. Focus groups, interviews and conversations all use subjective interpretation to reach conclusions. On the other hand, well-crafted measures are inherently consistent and objective, removing individual biases.
How Measurement Relates to Your Business
Robert Kaplan, of Harvard University, famously states: "If you can't measure it you can't manage it, and if you can't manage it you can't change it." A simple translation of this sentence is: If you don't measure something, you can't manage it, which means you won't be able to improve it.
The intangible drivers of leadership, communication and teamwork (LCT) are key employee-performance factors that are not frequently measured. According to Kaplan's theory, lack of measurement means these fundamental building blocks of your organization are not being managed nor improved.
Considering wages, benefits and training, what percentage of your operating budget is dedicated to personnel? One third, maybe more? How can you afford to ignore exactly how this asset is performing?
Interestingly, according to the book, Cracking the Value Code: How Successful Businesses Are Creating Wealth in the New Economy, by Boulton, Libert and Samek, only 35 percent of executives who expressed a belief in the importance of investing in their employees actually walk the talk.
Failing to measure the intangible drivers—LCT—can cost a company its competitive advantage. Too many executives become lulled into a false sense of security by merely implementing standard industry measures. The flaw in this strategy: If you only measure, manage and improve the same items as your competition, you will not differentiate yourself. Use LCT to your advantage to ensure that your company ends up on top.
The Organizational Drivers of LCT
Whether you notice an increase in employee mistakes, a decrease in customer satisfaction or a drop in retention, the root cause can be attributed to the quality of leadership at all levels of the organization; the effectiveness of internal communication; or the ability of employees to work well together.
More specifically, the cultural challenge results from a combination of all three drivers due to the synergistic relationship among them. Envision three concentric circles, with leadership in the outermost circle surrounding and impacting communication, which influences the inner circle of teamwork. While it is possible to isolate each intangible for the sake of conversation, in practice it proves impossible to disentangle them.
Consider this story about a company CEO working with an independent consultant to increase productivity. One day the CEO and consultant spied an employee raking the company's lawn using a rake with only seven of its 12 tines. Obviously the employee's performance was poor, leaving behind a considerable amount of leaves.
The CEO became enraged and asked, "Why would a supervisor allow an employee to work with such a poor rake?" The consultant replied, "Are you sure the supervisor is the only one to blame? To which the CEO answered, "No, of course not, you're right—it's my fault for not ensuring that all supervisors understand that the company strongly emphasizes the importance of their employees having the proper tools. I will meet with my managers this afternoon to make sure they understand that."
To the CEO's surprise, the consultant pressed further. "Isn't there someone else who should take some responsibility?" The CEO shrugged her shoulders, not sure who else might be at fault. "What about the employee?" suggested the consultant. "Where is the employee's responsibility to make sure he has the right tools?"
Creating a Strong Culture
The short parable above illustrates how LCT impacts performance. The consultant guided the CEO toward a cultural model described any number of s: innovative, high-performing, one with shared management, or one that provides for employee empowerment. With a slight variation in emphasis, all of these models productively blend the company's intangibles—LCT—to create a strong culture that:
• Is greater than any one individual;
• Is aligned along a common purpose;
• Values multidirectional communication;
• Holds individuals accountable for their own behavior;
• Encourages new ideas and accepts constructive criticism; and
• Builds leadership at all levels, ensuring that it will never be without a next generation of leaders.
But other than by anecdotal evidence, how do you know when you truly have established the business culture as intended? By introducing measurement into the sustainable-culture equation. Strategically, you must provide proof; you must measure. Like the CFO who can share profit-growth figures through measurement of revenue and expenses, and the COO who can discuss the drop-in widget output as the result of counts, LCT must be quantified for two reasons:
1) Companies only value what they can measure. "The unmeasured must be measured, for if it cannot be measured, it isn't considered of value," notes Debra Amidon, CEO of Entovation Intl. Ltd., Wilmington, MA.
2) While a company's financial, operations and marketing efforts are routinely included in its strategic plan, talent management and the strategies for developing the personnel required to implement the strategic plan often are absent. Without the proper people having the proper skill sets in place, a company's strategies will not be implemented.
Measurement in and of itself will not sustain a culture. Measurement is an invaluable indicator of the direction in which a company is headed and the trends being experienced. In fact, if measurement is viewed transactionally and exclusively as a number, the most valuable component will be missed: the information that can be garnered and used to create sound actions.
The Measuring Cycle
…consists of these six steps:
1) Measure leadership, communication and teamwork to create a benchmark from which to track your progress.
2) Understand the meaning behind the resulting measures and, above all, their impact on organizational performance. For example, what are the consequences to the organization if:
• Your employees report a perception that the leaders are playing favorites?
• Your workers lack the information they need to do their jobs?
• The existence of silos prevents cross-departmental teamwork?
3) Share the information and its meaning with the entire organization, because engagement increases when the larger picture becomes clear.
4) Work collaboratively to tackle organizational challenges at the root, not superficially at the symptoms.
5) Remeasure. Use the benchmark from step 1 to quantify your progress.
6) Repeat the cycle of strengthening leadership, communication and teamwork with each iteration.Gaining control of leadership, communication and teamwork will bring significant savings, as absenteeism is reduced, time spent on personal conflict drops and turnover decreases. These savings will be augmented by a quantifiable improvement in employee engagement, innovation and trust, all of which have been documented to provide significant increases in revenues. MF

|A rash of Temporal entries is on the way... beginning today, DS9's "Visionary" and Enterprise's "Carpenter Street".
|Thanks to Patrick Conroy for suggesting the Qu'vak spear from Birthright II for the Contact weapons page. I've also added the Gin'tak spear from the same episode and the Vulcan Ahn-Woon from Amok Time. I've updated the weapons list in the Lists section - previously it had stuff like "pistol" on it, so I have gone through all the recent updates and put each individual weapon on instead.
|You Guessed It... Weaponry!
|The M1 Garand, The Winchester rifle and the Peacemaker pistol have been added to the Projectile Weapons page. I've also added the Pak 44 cannon from Storm Front, plus mention of Storm Front to the MP40, M1911 and P38k pages and mention of A Fistful of Datas to the shotgun page. And the Samurai Sword from Shore Leave has been added to the Contact Weapons page.

On the same front, if anybody knows what this (1, 2) is, please let me know?
And after I spent at least two hours on the net looking at what felt like every assault rifle, machine gun and sub-machine gun in history, Scott Bates tells me it's a shotgun! To be precise, it's a Mossberg 500 Bullpup 12 gauge shotgun. Many thanks to Scott for his help.
|Lately we added page counters to the bottom of most of the pages on the site so we could keep track of which sections are the most popular. Behind the scenes, we've also been monitoring how people are using the Additional part of the Personnel sections. Turns out that the selections being made are returning about 300 people on average, which is making really massive pages that take forever to download. So... as of now the picker will split the output into groups of 20 people.
Additionally, we're limiting the picker to no more than 600 returns in total. From our figures this will only affect a very small percentage of those using the section.
Similar changes will apply to the Additional page in the Species section.
|Null space from TNG "The Outcast" has been added to the Spatial Anomalies page.
|Projectile Weapons
|Both Adrian and Paul Doser point out that I had the Killing Game rifle misidentified. It's not an M1903, but a Mauser 98k. (In my defence, they do look REALLY similar!). It's now fixed, so thanks for that.
|So, you would most like to see the DS9 crew in the next movie (if there is one).
This week, we're starting a new run of polls about time travel - beginning with asking you to name your favourite Enterprise story...
|A new list - the named nebulae we've seen or heard of during Trek. Also, we have taken the Quotes, Yatis and Moments from the episode guides and turned them into three new lists also.
|Caption Competition
|Last weeks winner was Lobster! Congratulations to him or her. Incidentally, the "special" aspect of last week's pic was that it wasn't actually in the episode as such - you never saw a wide shot of the ladies like that, we pasted it together from two different pics.
This week's image is from "The Gamesters of Triskelion".
|Yet More Weaponry!
|Lily's Calico M960 and the M-16 seen in ST IV have been added to the projectile weapons page.
If anybody knows of any other guns seen in Trek, please let me know! Speaking of which, I owe thanks to Nathan Dowdell for pointing out that Tuvok also made bows, and to Mirko Aichele for pointing out that Seven of Nine used a M1911 one time.
|The rolling program of additions has continued and will continue further... also, thanks to Jeb Hoge for pointing out that there's a Thompson sub-machine gun in First Contact.

Someone at the pool hall in Denver offered him a hit of weed too. O ignored him, but at the rate he's going it'll be worth asking him again in 2015, around the time that Iran's building its first nuclear weapon.
Anyway, furrowed brows:
It does seem weird for Obama to bro out with horse head Denver dude but not be able to visit the border.
— daveweigel (@daveweigel) July 9, 2014
Lefty Michael Tomasky sees Katrina potential here if Obama doesn't at least pretend to take this surge of illegals seriously:
For one thing, there is the specific parallel of the flyover: Obama was going to Texas for a fundraiser but wasn't planning on going to the border? I usually try to ask myself what I'd be saying if a Republican did X, and if a Republican did that, I'd be teeing off. It's not defensible.
Second, Obama is at a really vulnerable point in his presidency, I think, not dissimilar to the point George W. Bush was at in August 2005, when Katrina hit. Then, Bush's approval rating was generally in the mid-40s, as Obama's is now. Hanging on, but vulnerable to one straw that could break the camel's back…
I don't understand it. I covered New York mayors. When a crisis hits, you go. If it's 3 in the f***ing morning and way out in some part of Staten Island you've never even heard of, you go. Obama should have been in Texas or California or Arizona last week.
He wants O to visit the young illegals who've just come across and kick a soccer ball around with them or something, "a Pope Francis-esque gesture of some kind." Which, I guess, explains why Obama's so reluctant to go. It's not that going to the border will signal that he "owns the issue," it's that liberals want him down there acting like Jesus for illegals at a moment when he's eager to show he's, ahem, serious about border enforcement. If he goes to the border, shakes hands with a few BP officers, poses for the requisite photo of him peering through binoculars with a concerned look on his face, but doesn't visit with any kids from Central America, the amnesty shills in his base will grouse that he's sold them out again. He's trying to get them to manage their expectations for what he can do unilaterally on legalization. If he disappoints them again, they'll be less likely to cooperate.
But none of that explains the good times with Horsehead and the new Choom Gang in Denver yesterday. Why do that when even liberals are nervous about the optics here? I assume O's thinking (a) that the public's attention span for all news not related to missing jumbo jets is now down to about 35 minutes, which means this will all be distant, distant memory by the time people go to vote in November, and (b) he's going to infuriate border hawks pretty soon anyway when he issues his mass amnesty for the millions of adult illegals who are already here. In which case, why not laugh in their faces while doing it? Where's the fun in being a lame-duck king who can rewrite federal law on a whim if you have to walk around looking grim and pretend-worried all the time? Next time someone offers him a joint, he should take it. Choom on, big guy.

Pastor Chris Hildenbrand
Frontline Church of God was established in 1998 under the name, The Amanda Church of God. Carl Noland was the founding pastor and organized the church with 12 charter members. The church first met at the Amanda Firehouse and was then moved to the Clearport Community Center, until land and a building were purchased at the corner of State RT 22 and Amanda Northern Rd. Shortly after in September, 1990, Bishop Chris Hildenbrand became the pastor. In 1993 the name of the church was changed to, The Frontline Church of God. This name was chosen, not because of what we are, but what we aspire to be.. on the frontlines of ministry.
Pastor Chris Hildenbrand is an Ordained Bishop in the Church of God and has served in various capacities since 1982. In 1990 he became the pastor of the Frontline Church of God. In the years that have followed, the Lord has blessed mightily. The church has grown from 12 charter members to a congregation of hundreds. The church moved into a new facility in 2002, started a school, expanded its outreach ministries, and has become a vital part of the local community.

Longpass Edge and Dichroic Filters are designed to transmit wavelengths greater than the cut-on wavelength of the filter. Longpass Edge and Dichroic Filters are commonly used to isolate portions of the spectrum in a variety of industrial or life sciences applications including microscopy or fluorescence instrumentation. Longpass Filters are typically designed for a 0° Angle of Incidence, whereas Longpass Dichroic Filters are designed for use at a 45° Angle of Incidence. Longpass Edge and Dichroic Filters can be used with Shortpass Edge and Dichroic Filters to create custom bandpass filters. Certain Longpass Edge Filters can also be used as cold mirrors to minimize the heat buildup often caused by infrared radiation.
Edmund Optics offers a wide variety of Longpass Edge and Dichroic Filters for performance in the ultraviolet, visible, or infrared wavelengths. Longpass Edge and Dichroic Filters are available in a range of optical densities. Higher optical densities offer increased blocking capability.

Which US presidents had the best economic performance? It's a topic of endless debate, since presidents exercise limited control over the economy and their policies often don't bear fruit until the next administration. Still, presidents are judged at the ballot box by how well the economy performs under their watch. In a new book, "Bulls, Bears, and the Ballot Box," authors Bob Deitrick and Lew Goldfarb crunch the numbers for Herbert Hoover through George W. Bush. Separately, they have provided numbers for Barack Obama through Sept. 30, 2012. Their rankings are just one lens on a complex question. Can you guess who did best? Worst? Which party "created" more growth?

Flying out of Toronto it was snowing (and so I was miserable – I hate winter), but I was moments away from a sunny greeting and an even sunnier reception as I landed in Atlanta, Georgia to attend the BlackBerry® Innovation Forum being hosted in the city.
With nearly 100 customers and a handful of partners, the event in Atlanta, held simultaneously with events in New York and San Francisco, was the first in the BlackBerry Innovation Forum 2012 North American series. It was a great event and I was able to catch some video to give you a taste of what went on. Check it out above!
RIM technical experts, driving presentations using their BlackBerry smartphone as a remote control of their HDMI-connected BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets, were on hand to delve into the details of the recently launched BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0 and BlackBerry Mobile Fusion.
The audience was enthusiastically typing notes on their BlackBerry PlayBook tablets (with only a handful of attendees sneaking off an urgent email or two – the nature of any BlackBerry event!). In fact, attendees were so caught up in the presentations that it took a good 30 minutes before anyone even bothered to visit the refreshment table we had set up outside (even though the smoothies were delicious!).
Despite a quick 'show of hands' poll suggesting that around half of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet users present had already upgraded to the new BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0, the technical details on the latest software were eagerly consumed by all of those in the room.
Mobile Device Management and tablet computing are exciting technologies that open the door to new mobile deployment opportunities. Getting a strong understanding of these growing areas of technology is critical for those looking to play a leadership role in IT in the coming year.
So…have you signed up for the local BlackBerry Innovation Forum near your city? Watch the above video to discover what it's all about. With some events now 'sold out' and only a few weeks left in the series, registering today is strongly suggested!
Of course for those who missed the cut off, or don't have a BlackBerry Innovation Forum event near them, we will be posting some of the presentation material on our SlideShare page – it's not the same as hearing it live, in person, from the experts, and with the opportunity to network with experts and industry peers, but it may have to suffice until, of course, we see you at BlackBerry World™!
What topics are you most looking forward to discussing at a BlackBerry Innovation Forum near you? Share in the comments.

Venus: Earth's twin planet?
The latest results from the mission were presented today at a press conference held at ESA headquarters in Paris, and will appear in the 29 November issue of the scientific journal Nature.
Permanently covered in clouds, Venus has been a mystery for centuries. Although it is the planet nearest to Earth, it has proved extraordinarily difficult to study because of its curtain of clouds that obscures our view of its surface.
Venus has approximately the same mass as the Earth yet it is a hellish place where surface temperatures are over 400°C and the surface pressure is a hundred times that on Earth. The key to understanding Venus lies in its atmosphere, which is much thicker than Earth's.
"Today's results focus on the different science themes Venus Express is covering," says Dmitri Titov, Venus Express science coordinator from the Max-Planck-Institute for Solar System Research, Germany. "An important first set of results concerns the complex dynamics and structure of Venus's atmosphere, studied with a whole suite of instruments."
Titov added, "The spacecraft has revealed the structure and movements of the atmosphere, from its upper reaches to just above the surface, and has obtained the best global map of atmospheric temperatures to date. This is already improving our understanding of the global dynamics and the meteorology of Venus."
"It is worthwhile mentioning the amazing 3D images of the south polar vortex, the fine details of clouds, some very Earth-like, and hazes, precise wind measurements, and the nicest views ever of the phenomena that make Venus glow in space at infrared wavelengths," added Håkan Svedhem, ESA's project scientist for Venus Express.
A second set of results concerns both the atmosphere's composition and its chemistry. Venus Express has taken compositional profiles of the atmosphere around the planet, and unambiguously confirmed the presence of lightning which can have a strong effect on the composition of the atmosphere itself.
The challenge for scientists now is to match those readings of the atmosphere's composition with known gases, because they behave differently in the extraordinarily high-pressure environment on Venus than they do on Earth or Mars. "We are only at the beginning of this work," says Titov, "but we know new surprises are waiting for us."
A third set of results is about the processes by which the atmosphere of Venus is escaping into space. This is driven by the solar wind – a stream of electrically charged particles given out by the Sun. As the solar particles collide with electrically charged particles near Venus, they energise the gases, stripping them forever from the planet.
However, not all mysteries are solved yet. One key answer that scientists would still like to know is just how active the volcanoes of Venus are. "The contribution of volcanoes to the atmosphere could be enormous. Not knowing leaves a huge hole in our understanding of the climate," says Fred Taylor, a Venus Express interdisciplinary scientist, University of Oxford, UK.
For a planet that was once thought to resemble Earth, to one that was thought to be completely dissimilar, the tables have turned again. Thanks to Venus Express, Taylor now describes Venus as "Earth's twin, but separated at birth."
Notes for editors:
More than 250 scientists and engineers across Europe are involved in the Venus Express mission, supported by their institutes and national space agencies. The mission also sees the contribution of scientists from Russia and Japan, as well as from NASA, which sponsors 15 American Venus Express scientists and provides support to the radio science investigation via its Deep Space Network antennas.
The contents of this article are reflected in 'Venus as a more Earth-like planet', to be published in tomorrow's issue of Nature. The paper is by H. Svedhem, D. Titov, F. Taylor and O. Witasse.

Commercial Businesses
Step 1: Planning the Layout[edit]
While you do not have as much control over a commercial business as you did with Sims 2: Open For Business, but you can make some cool buildings where your Sims can hangout. For New Pyroville, we're missing a singles' bar, so that's what I'm going to build for them.
Because of the previous section, you know all the basics of the tools, so I won't go into exact details there. However, we'll still have plenty of screenshots!
Being a singles' bar, the design will be pretty simple. We'll have a couple tables and chairs, a bar in the center, and some entertainment off to the other side. A stereo for dancing is a must, though we'll put in a couple foosball tables. (I'd prefer pool tables, but EA decided not to put them in the game… yet. Must be saving them for an expansion.)
Step 2: Choosing a Lot[edit]
You need to think about the intent of your community building and choose a lot size that's appropriate. A park would be best placed on a large lot, for example. Because this will be a relatively small singles bar (only one floor), we'll go with the smallest possible lot, a 20x30.
Now, all blank lots default to being residential lots. To switch one over to commercial, first you need to click the blank lot. The info box will pop up on the right side of the screen. There, click the round button that is half a park bench and half a house. You won't see a confirmation after you click it; the change is instantaneous. If you make a mistake you can always instantly switch it back over, of course. The map tag of an empty community lot is the hollow square (at a 45-degree angle) with a park bench in the middle.
Anyway, with my lot selected and switched (it's right down the street from the Falkons' starter home), it's time to in and start building!
Steps 3–5: Foundation, Basement, and Walls & Fences[edit]
Sims can't really get drunk, for the sake of role-playing, it would be pretty dangerous to stick a bar on any foundation unless I want my patrons to vomit their way down the stairs to the ground. A basement is pointless too, so forget that. We're going to make enough walls to encompass the whole building, then make a couple bathrooms near the back.
Also for the sake of role-playing, the building won't have any need for fences. Granted that kids will probably show up to the singles' bar just because I don't have control over that kind of thing, but hey: if there isn't much for them, maybe they'll stay away!
Anyway, as you can see, the design is pretty simple. That area to the left, "under" the bathrooms, will be a waiting room or lobby of sorts. The action will be to the right.
Steps 6–7: Doors, Floors, Wall Coverings, Windows, and Coordination[edit]
Unlike previous versions of The Sims, we don't have gender specific doors, so the bathrooms are going to be unisex. I put a couple basic wooden doors there, then a commercial-like all-glass door for the "front" door…
Not any other doors here… pretty quick, huh? Commercial buildings are so much more simple than houses! We'll coat the floors and walls in the bathroom with tile. The lobby gets carpet, and the main area gets wood, as this isn't a seedy bar. Which reminds me, the walls otherwise are nice wood paneling. I color the bathrooms differently even though they're both unisex, and coordinate the floor and walls of the rest. The external wall gets red bricks with some white mortar in the corner. No windows here, because as unseedy as it is, this is still a singles' bar; and if the lights are low, the attractive people will be Woo Hooing with the ugly people before they realize their mistake!
Steps 8–10: Additional Floors, Landscaping, Balconies, Roofs, and Buy Mode[edit]
No additional floors and no balconies here. The building proper is done, so we can throw on the roof, which we'll make just a flat flooring of tar.
Now, the landscaping is going to be the fun part. I'm not going to be putting any gardens in there or anything because, again, this isn't supposed to be a place for kids to play out in the grass. First, we slap down some pavement and set up a few parking spots, and light up the parking lot with a couple outside lights. We also put down (with floor tiles) a brick walkway up from the sidewalk to the front door, and light that too.
I notice the roof is now the same texture as the parking lot, so I call an audible and change up the roof to an actual roof, just for some variety. Never be afraid to alter something you've already done if you see a conflict.
The thing looks more like a pizza joint than a singles' bar… oh well. Next, inside the building proper, first we do the bathrooms with stalls and sinks, coordinated with colors to the match the bathrooms themselves. We have to use stalls, or Sims will only visit the bathrooms one at a time. While I'm at it, I recolor the doors to the bathrooms even though it's tacky as heck…
Next we do up the lobby with some middle-of-the-road love seats. I'd also put a phone in but the game won't let me since it's a community lot… I guess the New Pyroville cops have to fill their DUI quotas!
Next up is the bar, bar counter itself, and bar stools, all located in the core of the main room…
Now a stereo and a TV for the bar, which also means I put a new little diagonal wall so everyone can watch…
…Man, very tacky, isn't it? I need to fill in some of that empty space with chairs and tables even though there is no way to have Sims eat here. (Maybe I can edit it in a future expansion pack?)
Let's throw in a couple searchlights in the back, and then we're done!
You can tell this is definitely a singles' bar, because only the truly desperate would come to something this gaudy. Oh well, maybe some romances will blossom anyway! You can download the Truly Tacky Singles Bar from here…

Elisa Chan shows why ordinance is needed
In a sad sense, it's a breakthrough to hear City Councilwoman Elisa Chan's unvarnished views on lesbians, gays and transgender people.
The veil has been lifted.
We can finally have an honest dialogue about the proposal to update the city's anti-discrimination ordinance, and resistance to including the LGBT community.
As Chan makes clear enough in the recording from a staff meeting, revealed by Express-News columnist Brian Chasnoff, resistance to the ordinance is not about bathrooms, First Amendment rights or religious freedom.
It's about deep-seated fear — "So disgusting!" as Chan says — and willful misunderstanding.
There is mockery of transgender people:
"I will say, 'Strip down! What equipment do you have?'" she says. "I'm telling you. Crazy. We're getting to crazy realm."
There is disdain:
"You know, to be quite honest, I know this is not politically correct," she says. "I never bought in that you are born, that you are born gay. I can't imagine it."
There is hypocrisy:
"I don't think homosexual people should do adoption," she says. "They should be banned by adoption. You're going to confuse those kids. They should be banned."
Only later to say:
"I'm respectful of their choices, right? Even though I don't believe that, but they're free people, they can do whatever they want to do."
And there is cynical politics, courtesy of Jeff Bazan, her former chief of policy, who plays the angles.
"You get the most political points by standing up for traditional values on this one," Bazan says.
Points. But what about substance?
Bazan is now chief of staff to District 8 Councilman Ron Nirenberg.
Given the views expressed by Chan, it's amazing, really, that anybody is courageous enough to come out about being gay or transgender. And yet, despite being subject to ridicule, alienation or disgust, they do.
If anything, Chan's views reveal just how necessary it is to include the LGBT community in this expansion of the city's anti-discrimination ordinance.
That's the catch with equality: It has to include everyone to really work.

An X-ray is a widely used diagnostic test to examine the inside of the body. X-rays are a very effective way of detecting problems with bones, such as fractures. They can also often identify problems with soft tissue, such as pneumonia or breast cancer.
If you have a X-ray, you will be asked to lie on a table or stand against a surface so that the part of your body being X-rayed is between the X-ray tube and the photographic plate.
An X-ray is usually carried out by a radiographer, a healthcare professional who specialises in using imaging technology, such as X-rays and ultrasound scanners.

Robertson's Cottages are nestled on a slender, little peninsula in Door County called
Idlewild. In this wooded setting, at the end of a quiet dead-end road, our family
has welcomed guests since the 1930s. Idlewild is located at the juncture of the
waters of Green Bay, Sturgeon Bay and Sawyer Harbor. Unparalleled fishing during
the fall and spring is all around us. The unique scent of the forest, the pristine
waters and the closeness to nature make it easy to take a break from the cares you
left behind. Just across the harbor is Potawatomi State Park, an 1100 acre woodland.
From the observatory tower there is a panoramic view for miles in all directions.
The cottages, with their individuality and uniqueness, have all the amenities a country
cottage needs. Each cottage has a gas range, double-door refrigerator, microwave,
completely furnished kitchen, plenty of blankets and pillows, Weber grills, comfortable
furniture and showers. There is a safe, sandy beach, sandbox, playground equipment and a
tether ball court.
With over 300 feet of shoreline, a spacious permanent pier (8' X 120'), protected
moorings with finger piers and boat slips, Robertson's is a great location for the
boat lover. A public launch ramp is located 1/4 mile away. Fishing from the dock is always great fun, even for the
littlest guest.
In spring, as nature changes the landscape, the woods are covered with white trillium,
dogwood, and wild cherry blossoms. Nearby apple and cherry orchards bloom in late
May. The walleye fishermen troll the harbor every night.
The fresh, sun-warmed days and water-cooled nights are sure to make you feel stronger
in body and soul.
In autumn, the view across the protected water of Sawyer Harbor is spectacular. One
can observe the slowly changing panorama of color of the steep, densely wooded bluff
of Potawatomi.
Whether you are bicycling the winding, country roads, hiking to nearby Sherwood Point
Lighthouse to watch the pounding surf against the high limestone cliffs, or curled
up with a favorite book in the front of the fireplace, you will enjoy the fall season
in Door County.
If activity is what you enjoy, there is the challenging 18 hole
Idlewild Golf Course
located at the entrance to Idlewild. You may wish to take
short trips to the more populated areas of the County where you can flavor the village
shopping and enjoy local festivals, both fall and spring.
Since 1938, Robertson's Cottages has been owned and operated by our family. Robertson's
has become an established tradition for many of our guests. Perhaps you too would
like to begin a tradition.

Bikeshevik Grand Prix
Courtesy Andy Holmwood, Alberta Bicycle Association
7th Bikeshevik Grand Prix, held over the weekend at the Glenmore Velodrome in Calgary.
Blustery, wet weather on Saturday led to the cancellation of the match sprints, after the conclusion of the qualifying flying 200m rides.
The cool conditions were not conducive to fast times, which was unfortunate as the race was a designated event for Junior and Paralympic riders to achieve time standards for National Team evaluation.
Thanks to cp Walsh of the Foundation for Velo Kinetics for organizing the event.
Canadians Win at Detroit Velodrome
Courtesy Rob Good
With 2 weeks remaining before the Ontario/Michigan Championships, several Ontario riders are getting ready for the events. 2nd year track racer Amy Meher from London was competitive all day finishing 5th in the points race. Amy also put in a personal best time in the flying 200m with a time of 13.6 seconds. 2 new Road racers from the Waterloo Flying Doggs took the Track Racing 101, course in the morning ( which is open to all riders). Kurt Schrieter & Neil Dingman then were entered in the racing in the afternoon. Although being a little nervous performed very well in the "B" Division, Schrieter won the Scratch race with a great finishing sprint. Dingman Lapped the field in the Points Race for the win (who said road racers can't win on the track). Both riders then joined the "A" Division to learn the art of Madison racing (my favorite), We hope to see them compete on Friday nights beginning June 25th.
In the "A" Division, Racing was fast & furious, Taylor Martin from Ancaster moved up in both the 50 lap Scratch race & 80 lap Points race to finish in the top 10 in both races. Waterloo rider Don Andrews was the Top Canadian in the afternoons racing finishing with 2 top 5 results in the Points & Scratch races. In the 2 lap Charriot race, Rob Good out dueled Dave Koesel for the win, with Martin a close 3rd.
Next Track action takes place with an Ontario Camp at the Velodrome in Bloomer Park. Friday afternoon June 4th, 3pm-7pm, followed by Nas-track Madison Practice 7-9pm. On Saturday June 5th, Track 101 (new riders) at 10am, 2:15 -2:45pm Standing Start Training & Instruction. Racing at 3pm. The Camp is open to all riders of all age groups. What a great way to get track time before the Junior Worlds Qualifier & Ontario Track Championships the weekend of June 18 - June 20th.

I have an elderly uncle on the other side of the country that doesn't answer his phone. This is the BEST way I've been able to show him he is always thought of—the price and quality is unmateched by other boxes for older folks. The ability to include a letter and photos in addition to the gifts in the box is monumental. When I do get a hold of my uncle every few months, he always tells me how much he loves the box. From what I can tell, Grandbox is still a smaller operation but I really commend their communication and customer service. When there were forest fires near my uncle's home and no one knew where the mail was going and when my uncle was in the hospital, Grandbox made sure he got his box. I'm very impressed, very impressed.

O Yeah!
Rocker Karen O let slip that she recently wed her longtime beau, director Barnaby Clay.
"I'm a married woman," the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer told Us Weekly at a party celebrating the launch of Rocked: An Exclusive Photography Exhibition by Mick Rock at the W Hotel in New York.
U.S. & World
It's unclear when the 33-year-old "Maps" singer -- real name Karen Lee Orzolek -- got hitched.
Clay directed his bride to be in the 2009 Yeah Yeah Yeahs video "Zero." He has also directed videos for Depeche Mode and Gnarls Barkley, according to Rolling Stone.
Karen O previously dated the acclaimed director Spike Jonze.

DENVER (AP) – One year after record-setting floods devastated Colorado, the disaster has taken center stage in the state's contentious U.S. Senate race.
Democratic Sen Mark Udall, touting his assistance to flood-stricken communities, has accused Republican Rep. Cory Gardner of hindering recovery efforts by shutting down the federal government shortly after last September's storms ended.
Gardner, who rode with Udall in a national guard helicopter that rescued people trapped by the floodwaters and whose district was heavily hit in the flooding, has fired back that Udall is politicizing a state tragedy.
The week began with Udall releasing an ad featuring Tara Schroedinger, mayor of a mountain town that was virtually wiped out in last year's floods, choking back tears as she praises Udall's assistance. Then on Thursday afternoon, the senator's campaign slammed Gardner for backing last year's government shutdown, which required the state to use its stretched coffers to pay for disaster relief.
"Rep. Gardner put his radical, Tea Party ideology over the needs of Colorado communities who were fighting to hold on after the worst natural disaster in our state's history," Udall spokeswoman Kristin Lynch said in a statement. "When Coloradans needed him to stand up, Gardner just shut down."
Gardner's campaign hit back Friday morning.
"I was incredibly disappointed to hear and see Sen. Udall dismiss our work together on behalf of flood relief last fall," Gardner said in a statement Friday. "When Colorado suffers a disaster, we have a history of banding together as Coloradans and helping our family, friends, and neighbors recover."
House Republicans triggered the shutdown last year when they refused to fund the government unless Senate Democrats and President Obama defunded the president's health care overhaul.
Gardner spokesman Alex Siciliano contended that congressman never supported the shutdown. However, Gardner, who is close to House Republican leadership, voted with other House Republicans to shoot down Democratic efforts to reopen government and for spending bills designed to be rejected by the U.S. Senate during the 16-day standoff.
Siciliano noted that, before the shutdown, Gardner had warned against requiring Democrats to defund the Affordable Care Act as a requirement for keeping government open. Gardner was also one of a minority of Republicans who eventually voted to reopen government.
Udall spokesman Chris Harris said the Republican still deserves blame. "Everyone can say they don't want a shutdown, but what matters is what you do about it," Harris said. "What Gardner did caused the shutdown."
Udall's campaign also noted that Gardner voted against aid to communities hit by Superstorm Sandy in 2012, which opened him to charges of hypocrisy from northeastern Republicans when he helped Colorado secure federal assistance after the 2013 floods. Siciliano said Gardner had supported an initial Sandy relief package but voted against a later version because it contained too much pork.
The imbroglio shows how potent a weapon the government shutdown remains, and the tightness of one of the races that could determine control of the U.S. Senate. Republicans need a net gain of six seats in November to win control of the chamber.
Even before the traditional Labor Day kickoff of the fall election, the two campaigns and a wide array of outside interest groups have spent tens of millions of dollars in Colorado. Polls show Gardner and Udall are neck-and-neck. Gardner, 39, has tried to position himself as a fresh face compared to 64-year-old Udall. Democrats, however, have sought to link the two-term congressman to the deeply unpopular House Republicans.
Gardner began the week with his own attack, releasing an ad highlighting how his family's health insurance was cancelled last year because of the Affordable Care Act and warning viewers that a cancellation notice could be "in your mailbox right now."

Peruvian Chicken Is Coming Back To Columbia
Peruvian chicken is coming back to Columbia -- at the same Hickory Ridge village center spot where it used to be.
Signs for Grille Chick 'N Pollo say that they're coming soon. They're in the backside spot where the old Chick 'N Pollo used to be. Jeremy sent me the photo above. It looks like a similar place advertising roasted chickens. I hope that they'll have plantains and the antichuchos.
Does anyone know the story or timeline for the new Grille Chick 'N Pollo?
(Update: The signs now say that they'll open on January 3, 2013. Amanda posted photos on the HowChow Facebook page.)

I stopped by there on the afternoon of the 9th and snapped a picture of their sign. A guy named "James" was leaving. He said they intended to open on Jan 3, and that they had already take care of their health inspections and permits.
He said that the only things changing were the owners and the name, FWIW.

There are a large number of Peruvian charcoal chicken place in the DMV, but I've never found one as good as El Pollo Rico in Wheaton. Any other recommendations?

@Paul - Try Crisp & Juicy!

Went for lunch yesterday and it was almost the same, great. Will be back in the rotation as I prefer it to the one on Rt 1.

Stopped by there recently for the first time & glad we did, we'll be back. Delicious well-spiced chicken with crispy skin. Accompanying rice & (black) beans & order of tostones were good. Tried a bottled drink (no carbonation) called "chicha morada" not knowing what to expect but it was quite tasty. Flavorings listed on the bottle were purple maize extract, pineapple, lemon, cinnamon, & cloves; interesting combination & nice change of pace from standard tea or soda. Proprietor(?) behind the counter was more than helpful in describing dishes & suggesting meal ideas.

My favorites are the ceviche and pollo alla parilla!

Henotheism refers to the worship of a single god while accepting the existence of multiple gods, some of which may also be worthy of worship. In fact, the god chosen for worship may actually change depending on the circumstances.
Henotheism differs from polytheism, however, in that the latter generally involves active worship of multiple gods, whereas the former may involve a somewhat agnostic stance on whether the other gods are worthy of worship.
Henotheism also differs from Monolatrism, the worship of one god among others who are not considered worthy of worship.
Henotheism in Christianity[edit]
Some scholars believe that the Old Testament contains examples of henotheism that have been mistranslated or misinterpreted to combine multiple gods into a single God (see also Wikipedia:Names of God in Judaism), and to remove or obscure the divine status of other gods.
Chistianity itself is sometimes presented (by scholars) as a henotheistic system in that it exhalts "the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit" (or Ghost); see Trinity. The Catholic notion of saints can also be seen as somewhat henotheistic.
