LETTER- Checkpoints work regardless of arrests
I consider the Hook to be the best weekly in Charlottesville. I like your thoughtful and forward-looking reporting and editorial policy (not to mention your excellent movie reviews). Therefore I was surprised and disappointed to read in "4Better or Worse" in the January 8 issue:
"Most dubious use of tax dollars: Albemarle County police stop 545 cars during a four-hour DUI checkpoint New Year's Eve and net two– count 'em– two drunkg driving arrests..."
The chief function of DUI checkpoints is not to catch drunk drivers but to discourage other drivers from driving under the influence. There is considerable evidence that DUI checkpoints serve this function.
You should have commended the Albemarle County Police for making the roads safer for us all.

View all images from the Eckersley Archive
The Tom Eckersley (1914-1997) Archive is housed at the University of the Arts London Archives and Special Collections Centre.
The collection contains posters produced by Eckersley that reflect the range of his work from propaganda posters to his post-war posters. Eckersley used bold simple designs, often resembling collage. The collection shows the development of his style and poster art more generally. Eckersley was also a teacher of poster arts and established the first graphic design course in Britain at the London College of Printing (now College of Communication, part of University of the Arts London). The collection was formed by Eckersley, and as well as printed posters, it includes other work such as magazine covers, and original artwork that shows his work processes.
Eckersley designed for a wide range of companies and the collection features commissions from: Shell-Mex; British Petroleum; the British Broadcasting Corporation; London Transport; the Ministry of Information (also named the Central Office of Information); the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA); Austin Reed; the General Post Office; Gillette; The United Nations Children's Fund; the World Wide Fund for Nature; the National Business Calendar Design Awards; Cooks; British Leprosy Relief Association; National Bus Company; London College of Printing; the International Wildlife Film and Television Festival; the Inner London Education Authority; City and Guilds; Imperial War Museum; and advertising agency, WS Crawford. He also designed posters for events and seasons, for example, one for a seminar Eckersley gave at the Grafiska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden, in 1960.

ABC on Gay Marriage: '21st Century Social Movement' Vs. Old, 'Downright Perplexed' Justices
ABC's Good Morning America on Wednesday again offered the most biased coverage on the gay marriage case before the Supreme Court. All three network morning shows skipped specific mention of the multiple thousands who marched for traditional marriage on Tuesday. ABC, however, used loaded terms such as "marriage equality" rather than gay marriage. Reporter Terry Moran gushed over the liberal position: "This is a social movement, a 21st century social movement that arrived with astonishing speed at this court, driven by activists, by Hollywood in part and by young people, especially on social media."[MP3 audio here.]
In contrast, he portrayed a skeptical Supreme Court as old and out of touch: "The wave of increasing support for gay marriage in America, especially among the young, is crashing on the Supreme Court and the justices, average age 67, seem downright perplexed." Moran highlighted the case of Edie Windsor, an 83-year-old lesbian whose case is before the Supreme Court. He sympathetically related, "when Thea died in 2009, Edie got hit with almost $400,000 in federal estate taxes, a penalty she would not have had to pay if she were married to a man."
Yet, while the journalist couldn't find time for a single mention of the March for Marriage, he did make sure to point out that pop star Beyonce supports same sex unions.
NBC's Today vaguely referred to "demonstrations on both sides of the issue outside the court." CBS This Morning showed video footage of the March for Marriage, but there was no mention during journalist Jan Crawford's segment.
Crawford offered a more balanced report. Instead of using the left's terminology, she described the "same sex marriage" debate. While highlighting how the various justices spoke during oral arguments, she even-handedly referred to "liberal Justice Elena Kagan" and "conservative Justice Antonin Scalia." (A follow-up interview with pro-gay marriage lawyer David Boise was less balanced.)
The reporter focused her segment entirely on the argument inside the court and not protests outside. She explained that Justice Anthony Kennedy "seemed open to arguments on both sides." Crawford narrated, "He expressed concern about the Court going into uncharted waters, but also showed sympathy for the children of same-sex parents."
On Today, Pete Williams also promoted the elderly Edie Windsor, recounting, " DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act, barred the IRS from recognizing her marriage to another woman. So it sent her a $300,000 inheritance tax bill when her spouse died."
Williams played a clip of "Justice Elena Kagan" with no ideological label. Seconds later, he referred to the "court's conservatives" worrying about "going to fast" on this issue.
A transcript of the March 27 GMA segment is below:
7am tease
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: New this morning, America reacts to gay marriage at the nation's top court. The justices asking is it too soon to decide, straining to find common ground as a wave of grassroots support builds overnight. This red symbol with an equal sign goes viral shares by millions right now.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: First you got to get to news and begin at the Supreme Court. Second big day of arguments over marriage equality. The question today, can the federal government define marriage as only between men and women? Our Supreme Court expert, Nightline anchor Terry Moran, is there for all of it today. Good morning, Terry.
TERRY MORAN: Good morning, George. Round two of gay marriage at the Supreme Court. This is a social movement, a 21st century social movement that arrived with astonishing speed at this court, driven by activists, by Hollywood in part and by young people, especially on social media. And sitting inside there you can get the sense of the justices are not only grappling with the profound constitutional questions, but with the emotion of it all as they come to terms with love, the ancient tradition of marriage and whether they have the power to define it for all Americans. It's happening so fast. The wave of increasing support for gay marriage in America, especially among the young, is crashing on the Supreme Court and the justices, average age, 67, seem downright perplexed.
ANTHONY KENNEDY: The problem with the case is that you're really asking, particularly because of the sociological evidence you cite, for us to go into uncharted waters.
SONIA SOTOMAYOR: Why is taking a case now the answer?
MORAN: Justice Samuel Alito noting how gay marriage in America is less than ten years old.
SAMUEL ALITO: You want us to step in and render a decision based on an assessment of the effects of this institution which is newer than cell phones or the internet?
MORAN: Across the country thousands are taking to social media changing their profile pictures to express their support their same-sex marriage. This morning, the justices will take up another case, challenging the Defense of Marriage Act which defines marriage under federal law as a union between one man and one woman. Edie Windsor is 83-years-old and this is her case. Edie had 42 happy years with the love of her life, Thea Spyer. The two were married but when Thea died in 2009, Edie got hit with almost $400,000 in federal estate taxes, a penalty she would not have had to pay if she were married to a man. If you could talk to the Supreme Court as they consider this case, what would you tell them?
EDIE WINDSOR: It's a marriage that anybody would want, okay, gay or straight. We had a wonderful life together.
MORAN: A wonderful life, Edie Windsor there, they'll take up her case in just a couple of hours. Now, none of the justices as far as we know have Twitter or Instagram accounts. But if they did, they'd get a sense of what a 21st century American social movement this is. Check out Beyonce's Instagram account. She put up a note that apparently she herself wrote. It reads simply, "if you like it, you ought to be able to put a ring on it." George?

2015 SUPERCUPNI champions County Antrim made a flying start to the SuperCupNI's Premier Section, defeating Newcastle United 3-1 at the Ballymena Showgrounds on Monday.
Antrim are managed by former Linfield, Crusaders and Portadown centreback Andy Hunter, who guided the side to the title two years ago.
Patrick Burns opened the scoring for the host county in the fourth minute, before Cliftonville man Aaron Donnelly turned home a free-kick to make it 2-0 in first half stoppage time.
Caoimhin McConnell added a third from close range thirty seconds after the restart. Jack Robson pulled a goal back for the Magpies in the 67th minute, but it wasn't enough to kick-start a comeback.
Osasco of Brazil and Londonderry drew 0-0 at Scroggy Road. GPS Bayern defeated Fermanagh 1-0 at the Riada.
There was a disappointing result for Armagh in Portstewart. They lost 2-0 to American side The Strikers.
John Bailie's County Down team drew 1-1 with touring club First Choice Soccer in Portrush.
Tom Mathieson, son of former Irish League star Andy, gave Down the lead from the penalty spot only for Pol Smyth to equalise early in the second half.
County Tyrone impressed at the Ballymena Showgrounds.
They defeated Beijing based Morning Star United 3-1, in a game that was broadcast live via the BBC website.
Andrew Scott headed Tyrone into the lead, before the Chinese club equalised. Tyler Anderson's long range shot made it 2-1, before an own goal completed the scoring.
There were three all-foreign clashes in the Premier section.
Komazawa of Japan drew 1-1 with O'Higgins of Chile in Broughshane, while Mexican side Club America defeated Otago of New Zeland 3-1 in Portstewart.
Ghanian side Right to Dream, who won the Junior Section last year, kick-started their Premier campaign with a 4-0 win over French club Vendee in Clough. Ibrahim Sadiq scored a hat-trick.

Carbon nanotubes do it all, don't they? To date they've strengthened other materials, solved crimes in the Mystery Mobile and can claim they've taken part in creating the world's lightest material. Well, at least two of those are true anyway.
The latest accomplishment involves the "lightest material" mantle, which was previously held by an aerogel, but not one as light as the one created by researchers at the University of Florida!
This new aerogel has a density of four milligrams per cubic centimeter and can be deployed to a whole host of world-changing scenarios. It can detect pollutants and toxins, for example, or be integrated into electronics to make them lighter and more insulated.
To create the new, lighter and otherwise amazing "Ultralight Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Aerogel", the researchers started with a "wet gel" comprised of a "well-dispersed pristine MWCNT" and used that to create a honeycomb structure that was only 100 nanometers thick. The final result and transformative process is shown in the image up top, while a more complete explanation beyond my feeble attempt is available in the ACS link that follows.

Toronto, ON -- The final hurdle towards beginning the 2012-13 National Hockey League season was cleared on Saturday afternoon, when the players' union announced it had overwhelmingly approved a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.
"The members of the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA) have voted to ratify the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the NHLPA and the National Hockey League (NHL)," the statement read.
"While the players' vote ratifies the new CBA with the NHL owners, a written Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) consistent with what the players voted on, must be completed before the Agreement becomes final. The NHLPA and the NHL continue their work to finalize the MOU."
Owners unanimously approved the tentative new CBA on Wednesday and the union conducted its voting from 8 p.m. ET Thursday through 8 a.m. ET Saturday. According to RDS of Canada, 98 percent of players supported the measure.
Once the memorandum is signed by both sides, the logistics of starting the regular season can commence. Training camps are expected to open Sunday and the league will reveal its truncated schedule -- expected to be a 48-game slate that starts next Saturday.
The new accord will last for 10 years, with an opt-out clause after eight.

Barrett says race tightening, dead heat
Election set for Tuesday
MADISON, Wis. — Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said he thinks the recall race against Republican Gov. Scott Walker is now a dead heat heading into Tuesday's election.
An exuberant Barrett spoke to about 100 of his volunteers in Portage in one of several stops he made on the final day of campaigning before the recall vote.
Barrett said the recall effort started as a grass roots movement and it's going to end that way with turnout of his supporters being the key factor that he believes will lead him to victory.
Barrett said the election is about the middle class reclaiming the future of Wisconsin.
Polls show a tight race. Walker said during a tour of a plastics plant in Fitchburg Monday morning that he also expected the outcome to be close.

The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Milan attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

This publication provides a comparative statistical analysis of skills development through continuing vocational training (CVT) in EU enterprises.
European policy-making in vocational education and training (VET) needs to be supported by sound evidence. In this report, Cedefop has selected 36 indicators to quantify key aspects of VET and lifelong learning. The selection is based on their policy relevance and their importance in achieving the Europe 2020 objectives.
This report provides an in-depth analysis of adults' participation in non-formal job-related education and training in Europe, having particular but not exclusive regard to employed adults.
European policy-making in vocational education and training (VET) needs to be supported by sound evidence.
In this report, Cedefop has selected a set of 33 indicators to quantify some key aspects of VET and lifelong learning. The selection is based on the indicators' policy relevance and their importance in achieving the Europe 2020 objectives. This publication should be regarded as a valuable tool to help policy-makers better understand and assess VET developments in each country.
The report includes recent evidence from the European Statistical System.
While this set of indicators does not claim to assess national systems or policies, they could be used to reflect on progress towards the strategic objectives set for Europe.
The indicators take 2010 as the baseline year and present statistical overviews in all European Union Member States and also the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey.
Relative to medium-level general education, there is evidence that vocational graduates enjoy a faster transition to work and are more likely to have a permanent first job in line with their qualifications. But there are substantial differences between countries. Benefits for vocational graduates are most prominent in countries with strong vocational education and training systems with a close connection between school- and work-based learning. However, as people age and gain experience, differences between medium-level general education and vocational graduates diminish. This report aims to improve our understanding of labour market outcomes for vocational education graduates. A real need if we are to respond effectively to the current challenges of high unemployment.
This report complements a recent Cedefop publication 'On the way to 2020: Data for vocational education and training policies - Country statistical overviews (Cedefop, 2013)', which has made use of the same data but has organised them in a different way. While the previous report offered a set of country snapshots, this publication offers a set of indicator snapshots. It is a result of continuing efforts to review and improve indicators as new and better data become available.
Cedefop's new publication provides a statistical overview of vocational education and training and lifelong learning in European countries. Data are based on international statistics enabling comparisons of countries and statistical averages for the European Union. This report, a first result of a continuing process, aims to be a valuable tool, which can be used in various ways and adds user-friendly evidence for many purposes. It should help policy-makers and researchers and ease access to the information available.

From the Greeks to Darwin
Jump to navigation Jump to search
From the Greeks to Darwin: an Outline of the Development of the Evolution Idea was written by Henry Fairfield Osborn, Sc.D, da Costa Professor of Zoology at Columbia University, and curator of the American Museum of Natural History. It grew out of a series of lectures first delivered by Osborn at Princeton in 1890, and completed in a fuller course he conducted at Columbia in 1893. Originally published by McMillan and Company in July, 1894. It was reprinted in 1896, 1899, 1902 and as a 1905 second edition. This edition was part of the Columbia University Biological Series and was dedicated to Osborn's teacher, James McCosh, ex-president of Princeton College. The following quotes are taken from the 1905 second edition.
- When I began the study my object was to bring forward the many strong and true features of pre-Darwinian Evolution which are so generally passed over or misunderstood.
- Preface
Ch.1 The Anticipation and Interpretation of Nature[edit]
- In the growth of the numerous lesser ideas which have converged into the central idea of the history of life by Evolution, we find ancient pedigrees for all that we are apt to consider modern. Evolution has reached its present fulness by slow additions in twenty four centuries.
- Darwin owes more even to the Greeks than we have ever recognized.
- The Evolution law was reached not by any decided leap, but by the progressive development of every subordinate idea connected with it until it was recognized as a whole by Lamarck, and later by Darwin.
- I endeavor to trace back some of these lesser ideas to their sources, and to bring the comparatively little known early evolutionists into their true relief as original thinkers and contributors, or mere borrowers and imitators.
- The greatest defects I find in the historical literature of this subject are the lack of sense of proportion as to the original merits of different writers, and the non-appreciation of the continuity of evolution thought.
- Greek speculations and suggestions were borrowed and used over and over again as if original, continuity in the lesser ideas which cluster around Evolution being quite as marked as in the main idea.
- We meet with many remarkable coincidences in the lines of independent and even simultaneous discovery, notably those between Erasmus Darwin and Lamarck, between Lamarck and Treviranus, before we reach the crowning and most exceptional case of Darwin and Wallace.
- At different periods similar facts were leading men to similar conclusions, and we gather many fine illustrations of the force of unconscious induction. Means of intercommunication were slow, and we should advance cautiously before concluding that any of the greater evolutionists were dealing with borrowed ideas.
- When we study single passages, we are often led widely afield. Haeckel, for example, appears to have far overstated the relative merits of Oken... Krause has placed Erasmus Darwin over Lamarck without sufficient consideration. Huxley has treated Treviranus and Lamarck with almost equal respect; they are really found to be most unequal.
- We must inquire into the sources or grounds of the conclusions advanced by each writer, how far derived from others how far from observation of Nature, and consider the soundness of each as well as his suggestiveness and originality, before we can judge fairly what permanent links he may have added or welded into the chain of thought.
- We are now taking our uncertain steps in search of the separate factors of this law, and cannot foresee when these will be completed. 'Before and after Darwin' will always be the ante et post urbem conditam [before and after the founding of the city] of biological history. Before Darwin, the theory; after Darwin, the factors.
- We remember that there are usually three stages in connection with the discovery of a law of Nature; first, that of dim suggestion in pure speculation, with eyes closed to facts; second, that of clear statement as a tentative or working hypothesis in an explanation of certain facts; and finally, the proof or demonstration. Darwin came in for the proof, profiting richly by the hard struggles of his predecessors over the first two stages.
- Lamarck has lately risen in popular knowledge as having propounded Evolution, but among his contemporaries and predecessors in France, Germany, and England, we find Buffon, Erasmus Darwin, Goethe, Treviranus, and searching for their inspiration, we are led back to the natural philosophers, beginning with Bacon, and ending with Herder. Among these men we find the second birth or renaissance of the idea, and among the Greeks its first birth.
- Evolution, as a natural explanation of the origin of the higher forms of life, succeeded the old mythology and autochthony in Greece, and developed from the teachings of Thales and Anaximander into those of Aristotle.
- This great philosopher [Aristotle] had a general conception of the origin of higher species by descent from lower, yet he could not know of any actual Evolution series, such as we have derived from Paleontology. ...it is startling to find him, over two thousand years ago, clearly stating, and then rejecting, the theory of the Survival of the Fittest as an explanation of the evolution of adaptive structures.
- The Greeks ...anticipated many of our modern theories by suggestion; thus they carried the Evolution idea well into its suggestive stage, which was so much ground gained for those who took it up in Europe.
- We know that Greek philosophy tinctured early Christian theology; it is not so generally realized that the Aristotelian notion of the development of life led to the true interpretation of the Mosaic account of the Creation.
- There was... a long Greek period in the history of the Evolution idea, extending among the Fathers of the Church, and later, among some of the Schoolmen, in their commentaries upon Creation which accord very closely with the modern theistic conceptions of Evolution.
- If the orthodoxy of Augustine had remained the teaching of the Church, the final establishment of Evolution would have come far earlier than it did, certainly during the eighteenth instead of the nineteenth century, and the bitter controversy over this truth of Nature would never have arisen.
- As late as the seventeenth century, the Jesuit Suarez and others contended that the Book of Genesis contained a literal account of the mode of Creation, and thereby Special Creation acquired a firm status as a theory in the contemporary philosophy. Singularly enough, Milton's epics appeared shortly afterwards, exerting an equally profound influence upon English Protestant thought, so that Huxley has aptly termed Special Creation, 'the Miltonic hypothesis.' Thus the opportunity of a free unchecked development out of natural science was lost.
Ch.3 The Theologians and Natural Philosophers[edit]
- As all learning in Europe was for centuries under the guardianship of the Church, it is important to look into the teachings of the great theologians upon the origin and development of life. This teaching sprang from two sources,—the revelation of the order of Creation in the Book of Genesis, and the natural philosophy of Plato and Aristotle.
- Philo of Alexandria introduced in the first century what has been described as the 'Hellenizing of the Old Testament,' or the allegorical method of exegesis. By this, as Erdmann observes, the Bible narrative was found to contain a deeper, and particularly an allegorical interpretation, in addition to its literal interpretation; this was not conscious disingenuousness but a natural mode of amalgamating the Greek philosophic with the Hebraic doctrines.
- See Johann Eduard Erdmann, A History of Philosophy, Vol.1 p.220
- Among the Christian Fathers the movement towards a partly naturalistic interpretation of the order of Creation was made by Gregory of Nyssa in the fourth century, and was completed by Augustine in the fourth and fifth centuries.
- Plainly as the direct or instantaneous Creation of animals and plants appeared to be taught in Genesis, Augustine read this in the light of primary causation and the gradual development from the imperfect to the perfect of Aristotle. This most influential teacher thus handed down to his followers opinions which closely conform to the progressive views of those theologians of the present day who have accepted the Evolution theory. In proof of this Greek influence we find that Augustine also adopted some of the Greek notions of the spontaneous generation of life. In the Middle Ages analogous views were held by Erigena, Roscellinus, William of Occam, Albertus Magnus; and Augustine was finally followed by Aquinas, who is now one of the leading authorities of the Church. Bruno struck out into an altogether different vein of thought.
- The reaction against this scientific reading of Genesis naturally came when Christian theology shook off Aristotelianism, and this was brought about indirectly by the opposition to the Arabic science, which also embodied much of Aristotle.
- The first outspoken opponent of Augustine's teaching, and first champion of literalism, was Suarez, a Jesuit of Spain, a country which had become the second home of Arabic science and philosophy. ...In the very decades when this progress was stamped out of theology in Spain and Italy the modern era in the development of the idea was opening in the teachings of Francis Bacon and of the natural philosophers who closely succeeded him.
- Gregory of Nyssa (331-396) taught that Creation was potential. God imparted to matter its fundamental properties and laws. The objects and completed forms of the Universe developed gradually out of chaotic material.
- Augustine (353-430) drew this [Gregory of Nyssa's] distinction still more sharply, as Cotterill and Güttler show, between the virtual creation of organisms, the ratio seminalis [seminal system], and the actual visible coming forth of things out of formless matter. All development takes its natural course through the powers imparted to matter by the Creator. Even the corporeal structure of man himself is according to this plan and therefore a product of this natural development. Augustine, as to the origin of life, took his ground half-way between Biogenesis and Abiogenesis.
- See Henry Cotterill, 'Does Science Aid Faith in Regard to Creation?' London (1883)
- See C. Guttler, 'Lorenz Oken und sein Verhältniss zur Modernen Entwickelungslehre.' Leipsic, (1884)
- Augustine thus sought a naturalistic interpretation of the Mosaic record, or potential rather than special creation, and taught that in the institution of Nature we should not look for miracles but for the laws of Nature.
- Moore says: "Augustine distinctly rejected Special Creation in favor of a doctrine which, without any violence to language, we may call a theory of Evolution."
- See Aubrey Moore, Science and Faith (1893)

Who are we?
A Quick History of Roomlala
Roomlala was the idea of a young entrepreneur who wanted to help young people find accommodation easily in large cities. Philippe de Rouville had had his fair share of long waits to visit apartments, disappointingly small apartments on the 6th floor without an elevtator and exorbitant rental prices in major cities. It was only when a family friend came to stay with him during a 2 month internship in Paris, that he said to himself that there must be a huge number of families whose kids have left home and left empty rooms behind them. A potential source of accommodation could be exploited to make life much easier for so many students!
So, what is Roomlala?
In 2009, Philippe joined the growing family of the sharing economy and set up Roomlala (at the time called Chambrealouer.com - literally 'room to rent') : a platform to put landlords and tenants in contact to rent out spare rooms. Roomlala is not a real estate agency as it is the members themselves who agree on the lease agreement. It's a simple idea and it all happens online: landlords post an ad in which they describe their accommodation and the room that is up for rent. The tenants search for available accommodation in their chosen city and get in contact with landlords whose ads interest them. Everyone wins: besides forging new and unexpected friendships, the landlord can top up their income, while the tenant pays a much lower rent than the cost of a studio or an apartment.
The site has already helped get 3.2 million conversations started about 42,000 ads for rooms to rent across more than forty countries. Roomlala's strength lies in its community of over 1.8 million members who are all keen to get involved and be part of the boom in renting from resident landlords across the world!

In the future, the anti-fun police will ensure that cars won't go fast, they'll just look fast. Comrades, we give you the Toyota Prius Custom Plus Concept.
Hailing from Toyota's in-house accessories division, the CPC is immediately distinguishable from more humdrum hybrids by it's MASSIVE Lambo-style front intakes. What these feed, we haven't a clue. These vents form the leading edges of a ridiculously wide body kit chosen to accentuate the 2010 Toyota Prius's wedge profile. Of course, any accentuation to form is spoiled by the tacky details; check out the weight-saving carbon hood, the winglets aft of the wheels and of course, the ridiculous wheels. Call us crazy, but we actually like the translucent, droopy rear spoiler, just not on the Prius. If you believe your future kids will become gearheads, and this is the lame form their rebellion takes, we suggest a vasectomy.

I've become addicted to pornography. It's ruining my life. What can I do to break the addiction?
Pornography is a widespread and serious problem. It hurts your spirit and infects your mind with unclean thoughts. It damages your relationships. Looking at pornography causes you to lose the companionship of the Holy Ghost.
Getting over the addiction is not easy, but it is simple—decide now to stop looking at or thinking about pornography. Speak immediately with your bishop or branch president. Don't feel embarrassed to talk to him. He can help you repent so the Savior's Atonement can cleanse your thoughts and spirit. "By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins—behold, he will confess them and forsake them" (D&C 58:43).
Do everything you can to avoid pornography in the future. That might mean getting rid of your cell phone and your Internet access, except in public places, with strong Internet filters installed.
Make prayer, scripture study, service, and other uplifting activities the focus of your life. The Lord taught, "Cease from … all your lustful desires" and "let virtue garnish thy thoughts unceasingly" (D&C 88:121; 121:45). With sincere repentance and the help of the Savior and His chosen servants, you can overcome this addiction.
Learn how to overcome the effects of pornography through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
Never Give Up
Pornography ruined my life, but I have finally broken the addiction after much suffering. The repentance process will be long and hard, but pray sincerely every day for the Lord's help during this trial. Never think that you are unworthy to repent, as the Atonement is for everyone. Also remember that each time you are tempted, Satan is trying to bring you down into sin. But it will always be your choice to either give in or ignore the temptation. Never give up on yourself or the Lord, as He will give you no trial that you cannot bear (see 1 Nephi 3:7).
A young woman from Victoria, Australia
I've had this problem. It still haunts me. First of all, stop looking at pornography. Go to Heavenly Father. I felt Him forgive me when I didn't think I could be forgiven. And then I thought I was fine. I didn't want anyone to know about it; I was so ashamed. But it's something you need to tell your bishop. I tried not to. But over and over I heard the words, "If you have a problem with pornography, go to your bishop." One day, in my temple recommend interview, it just spilled out. And I felt so good afterwards. I was free. A burden was lifted. Afterwards, I told my parents. They were sad, but they accepted it. Don't be afraid to come out with it.

Tell Someone
I was trapped by pornography for a long time. It was only with my parents' support and my bishop's help that I finally broke free. Reduced Internet privileges or a few weeks of not taking the sacrament is a small price to pay for the joy of being clean. Professional counselors can also help and will not judge you. They are also a tool the Lord has given us.
A young man from California, USA
Talk to Your Bishop
Go talk to your bishop as soon as possible. It's hard to take that first step, but you have to talk to him to repent. He won't make fun of you or be disgusted with you. He cares about you and wants only what's best for you. Jesus Christ suffered for your sins so you can feel free again from the crushing guilt and sadness you've been feeling for so long (see Alma 5:9). It's not too late to change. You can feel true joy again. Ask God to give you the courage to repent.
Taylor P., 18, North Carolina, USA
Sing a Hymn
Pornography is not of God. The repentance process is long and painful, but it is possible! You have to have the desire to change, to perceive the gravity of the sin, and above all to seek help from Heavenly Father. To avoid falling into temptation, I have a picture of Jesus Christ beside my computer. He is always there watching me! Whenever pornographic images or music comes into my mind, I sing a hymn and soon these evil things are forgotten.
Natália Q., 18, São Paulo, Brazil
The power of prayer is indescribable; it gives us the strength to withstand adversity and come off conqueror (see D&C 10:5). If you seek Heavenly Father in prayer, He will give you the strength to free yourself from temptation. As you read the scriptures daily, you will be strengthened even more. If you trust in the Lord and not in your own strength, He will free you from the chains that bind you. It is through the Atonement that you can be healed.
Gian G., 18, Rivera, Uruguay
Read Scriptures
Pray for strength. Enos prayed for an entire day, supplicating the Lord for his sins to be forgiven, and through his faith, he felt great peace and the guilt disappeared. Read the scriptures to obtain the Holy Spirit, since when you have His companionship, you will not think or do impure things. Read Psalm 24:3–5 (about keeping oneself clean). Keep busy: do sports, go out and have clean fun, and don't let yourself be influenced by supposed friends. When temptations come, be decisive and reject them. Remember that Heavenly Father knows everything you think and do.
Ana G., 17, Zulia, Venezuela
How to Guard Against Temptation
"Start by separating yourself from people, materials, and circumstances that will harm you. …
"Acknowledge that people bound by the chains of true addictions often need more help than self-help, and that may include you. Seek that help and welcome it. Talk to your bishop. Follow his counsel. …
"Along with filters on computers and a lock on affections, remember that the only real control in life is self-control. Exercise more control over even the marginal moments that confront you. If a TV show is indecent, turn it off. …
"Cultivate and be where the Spirit of the Lord is. Make sure that includes your own home or apartment, dictating the kind of art, music, and literature you keep there."
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, "Place No More for the Enemy of My Soul," Ensign or Liahona, May 2010, 45–46.

How flash can pump up performance of virtual desktops
Virtual desktop environments can strain conventional hard drive storage systems, but strategically placed solid-state storage devices can boost performance.
- Phil Goodwin, Contributor
Virtual desktop environments can strain conventional hard drive storage systems, but strategically placed solid-state storage devices can boost performance.
Virtual desktop infrastructure promises numerous benefits to beleaguered IT operations. Organizations that must manage thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of endpoint devices are faced with the daunting tasks of security, software version control and content delivery. Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) can help centralize operating system (OS) image management, which reduces the number of OS versions to support, simplifies the rollout of new application software versions and facilitates lifecycle management. It also virtualizes the application environment from the physical endpoint devices, allowing IT to support everything from smartphones to desktop PCs without requiring individual device testing and qualification.
Users similarly benefit from instant access to corporate applications from any location that has cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity. Moreover, data can be protected by corporate backup policies, making it far less likely that data will be lost or stolen from portable devices or crashed local hard drives.
VDI is tough on storage
Despite these benefits, VDI is no panacea for either IT managers or users. VDI places additional stress on the local infrastructure. VDI "boot storms" are well known for the potential to bring storage subsystems to their knees with extremely high I/O demands during peak boot-up/logout periods such as first thing in the morning, at lunch time and at the close of the day. Companies must size their storage throughput to these peak periods, resulting in a high spindle-to-data ratio and therefore high dollar-per-GB storage costs.
Solid-state drives (SSDs) are a recognized solution to the boot storm problem. Boot-up operations are almost entirely read I/O activities and SSDs provide I/O performance substantially greater than that of hard disk drives (HDDs), especially on a per-GB basis. Although SSDs are much more expensive per GB, it's not necessary to over-buy capacity to get the required aggregate I/O throughput as may be the case with HDD-based storage systems.
In the boot storm scenario, it makes sense to place the bootable images on a logical device and isolate access to that "drive." It doesn't make sense to use local SSD cache on the server because the image can be moved or hog the cache to the exclusion of other data.
Beyond boot storms
Beyond boot storms, SSD would appear to be very attractive to other applications in virtual environments. After all, since user I/O is centralized, front-end SSDs could handle high-demand activity and take the strain off the back-end HDD infrastructure. This would allow organizations to use high-capacity, low-cost HDDs to support their virtual desktops without sacrificing performance.
Unfortunately, a generalized SSD solution just doesn't work in this scenario. SSD delivers optimum performance, whether implemented as cache or a separate storage tier, for recursive reads. It doesn't work for random I/O workloads or for write-intensive operations. In a VDI implementation, the multitude of systems requesting user data appears to the disk system to be highly random. Data access for users is individualized, so the data requested by one user is unlikely to be requested by the next and therefore can't take advantage of SSD read speeds.
With randomized data access, data will be continually swapped in and out of SSD. This creates two problems at the hardware level. First, SSD write performance is notoriously inefficient. SSD providers compensate through various write buffering and rotational write schemes, but these merely delay the inevitable. More insidiously, SSD cells can wear out in as few as 3,000 write operations, although enterprise-class SSDs can last as long as 100,000 write operations. Even so, with thousands or tens of thousands of users accessing the system, it won't take long to start burning out cells. As cells wear out, the SSD performance gradually diminishes.
One company that attempts to solve this problem is Virsto Software with its Virsto for VDI "storage hypervisor" that virtualizes the storage serving virtual server implementations; both VMware and Hyper-V are supported. Virsto claims it can double the VDI performance per physical machine and reduce the storage needed for hypervisors by as much as 90%. With thousands of virtual machines (VMs), this could be significant. Moreover, Virsto eliminates the random nature of VM I/O with sequential writes and a logging architecture.
The common thread to these implementations is finding (or creating) environments where data isn't accessed randomly or at least isn't repeatedly rewritten. It's neither cost-effective nor practical in most cases to implement an all-SSD storage environment. Storage managers need to target specific use cases where SSD will yield benefits that outweigh the costs.
Best apps for VDI + SSD
The best targets for using SSD to improve VDI performance will be collaborative applications. Some examples include reference materials that don't change over time, yet users may frequently access them. Wikis, reference documents, legal materials and the like could benefit from the fast access of SSD. Similar to OS images, having these materials loaded into logical devices will make better use of the SSD than front-ending the storage array with an SSD tier 0.
Another way to look at targeted use cases will be situations where data is common to many users. Informational databases are an obvious target, because VDI users will be accessing the data repeatedly, with little new data entry or modification. Although this use case doesn't differ from normal computing in the broadest sense, specific applications will benefit in particular. For example, a sales-force automation application will have supporting file systems, databases or both. The sales force will have a common system image, making it a great fit for VDI. At the same time, the sales force will need access to the same sales support information, which may change infrequently -- also a solid use case for SSD in a VDI environment.
In an extension of the sales-force example above, business-to-business support can similarly benefit from VDI and SSD. Business partners can log into a standardized application environment from almost any device and access common information. Examples might include insurance applications, where numerous independent agents need access to specific portals and information.
Data warehouses or analytical databases are repositories of static information, but may or may not benefit from SSD. The data in data warehouses isn't usually dynamic and analytics may be limited by the I/O performance more than the processor, so SSD could reduce the I/O bottleneck to significantly improve analytical speed. However, data warehouse analysis may not be time-sensitive in the real-time computing sense, so the cost to load a data warehouse into SSD is justifiable only if real-time analytics are needed.
VDI + SSD + Cloud
VDI fits well into a private cloud strategy because clouds are inherently centralized points of service. A private cloud is also an ideal target for SSD, either as a tier 0 or for pre-positioning data near the data consumer. So, VDI and SSD would seem to find a nexus in private cloud. However, the VDI deployment risk for IT organizations with private clouds is the possibility that VDI will be lumped in with all the other applications. If this becomes the case, then VDI won't benefit from the tier 0 performance for the reasons described earlier.
Strategic deployments
The same care must be taken in deploying VDI in all environments, whether an isolated platform in the data center or a service from a private cloud. Storage architects should also bear in mind that SSD solves the I/O latency problem, not the network latency problem. VDI deployments might suffer from network latency, but the solution is independent from those described here.
There's no question that SSD devices can significantly improve service delivery in VDI environments -- assuming judicious deployment. Generalized implementation may not yield the desired results and could actually create a costly bottleneck. Architecting from the frame of reference of an end user, rather than from data center system considerations, will help to target the appropriate location of an SSD device. If the SSD deployment would make sense for a single PC, then it will make sense for VDI.

This was great! Pleased the whole family ;-)

I served this on Thanksgiving to a large group and they loved it as did I. Great flavor. It kept very well and was tasty heated up days later. I made as directed but for adding more oil to saute the vegetables. I did not drain the grease from the pork sausage but used to saute.
Nov 9, 2010
I've never made a sausage stuffing, but the artichokes made it sound so tasty I just had to try it. Due to family preferences, dietary restrictions, and ingredient availability I had to make substitutions, but I still ended up with a tasty dish. I used 2 small cans of portobellos instead of fresh ones, I substituted an extra celery rib for the cranberries, and I skipped the garlic and pepper (the sausage already had plenty of pepper). Due to food allergies in my family, I used 2 egg whites in place of the whole egg; I'll skip the egg entirely the next time. The marinated artichoke hearts and the Parmesan cheese give this stuffing a unique and wonderful flavor. Baking time was about 45 minutes for me.

"Idolatry of guns." What does that mean, exactly?
It might be hard to admit, but if you think about it, you can see that many groups in the United States see guns as sacred. Guns are not only the solution to our problems, they will save us from evil. Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, stated this himself: "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
Do we really believe this? If we stop and think about it, we don't. Our protection does not come from guns, and we do not live in a binary society of good and evil, where the right to hold dangerous weapons can be allocated to people who are entirely virtuous.
But the NRA certainly wants us to believe these things. And why shouldn't they? They have a vested interest in making sure dangerous weapons continue to be sold, since they receive millions of dollars from gun manufacturers. They are not interested in good theology or protecting human life, only in setting up a theological system where guns are sacred and revered. Idols.
The NRA's influence has kept us from sensible gun reforms for too long. Politicians march in step with this powerful organization out of fear of what will happen if they do not. The solutions to the problem are obvious, and previous Supreme Court rulings indicate they are entirely within the bounds of the Second Amendment. The lack of action is morally wrong, and belies the extent to which we have accepted fear and phony theology as inevitable truths.
So let's end it. Call on the NRA to address their idolatry and expose this for what it is. Sign a petition to the leadership of the National Rifle Association and let them know where you stand. Together, we can overcome their power and influence, and move towards a society where parents no longer have to bury their children.
Sign the petition here and help get out the word!

During my thought process leading to my defection from the Democratic Party and into the warm embrace of the Republican camp, it was and still is important for me to analyze what it was like being a Democrat and associating in their circles.
Democrats that I have met often have these contrived conversations. As there are many, many Democrats who do not necessarily share the same values, unlike most Republicans, everybody goes into a conversation thinking how not to offend the other party's sensitivitiy to some cause they hold in high esteem.
I can think of hundreds of instances where I was in a room full of Democrats where I literally cannot think of one conversation that was relaxed and congenial. They almost all come with a tension because they tend to not accept you for who you are. They fear you might hog up all their time, and they spend most of their time looking over your shoulder to speak to the real big players.
Their politics gets in the way of their genuineness. I imagine it is easier to read sanskrit that to understand how they feel inside about anything.
So the conversations are often forced and contrived. One leaves these gathering with this tremendous sense of relief because they did not say something to someone outside of the governing orthodoxy.
Democrats, because they control all the civic and local organizations, populate them with their buddies and political allies, so it's no better there. You just know going into it that everyone you meet, barring 2 elected officials or appointees that come to my mind, has no time or use for you because you are in the minority of thought. So a kind of herd mentality takes over for them.
One reason why I said so long to the Democrats is because it always felt like I was being frog-marched rather than accepted as an equal or even a person who they might want to get to know. They have been in power so long, and have their hands on so many levers, all the oxygen gets sucked out of the room in their presence.
More on that later.

The AAFP is criticizing a provision in the Obama administration's 2014 fiscal year budget proposal(www.hhs.gov) that would enact across-the-board cuts in graduate medical education (GME) for teaching hospitals, but the Academy found other things to support in the budget.
HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius makes a point about the president's 2014 fiscal year budget during an April 10 HHS press conference.
In a prepared statement, AAFP Board Chair Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., of Spokane, Wash., said that GME cuts would "jeopardize family medicine residency programs at a time when they require critical investment to sustain the growing interest in training primary care physicians."
"The evidence shows that improving quality and reining in costs depend on a strong primary care foundation," said Stream. "We have just begun to see a turnaround in the number of students looking for family medicine residency training, but without adequate support for training these physicians, that turnaround could quickly fade."
According to Stream, when faced with limits on training funding, academic teaching centers often have chosen to close primary care training residencies. For example, between 2003 and 2013, the American medical education system closed 71 family medicine programs, said Stream. "The trend reversed last year, when no family medicine programs closed and seven new family medicine residency programs were accredited. A blanket cut to GME could reverse that progress."
The Obama administration's 2014 budget proposal also addresses Medicare physician payment by assuming a 10-year fix to the sustainable growth rate (SGR) formula, which has called for steep reductions in the Medicare physician payment rate during past several years. In his statement, Stream reiterated the AAFP's call for an outright repeal of the SGR and a period of stable Medicare payments that would include higher payment rates for primary care as Medicare transitions to a system based on value instead of volume.
Stream praised other parts of the president's budget, as well. For example, enactment of a proposal to increase taxes on tobacco products would decrease tobacco use, especially among teenagers and young adults, according to Stream.
Stream also was pleased that the budget calls for implementing provisions in the health care reform law that "improve access to care for low-income working families, that reward quality of care through the patient-centered medical home, and that provide health security to the elderly and disabled."

About Falko
Falko is from Heilbronn, near Stuttgart in Germany, a fine wine-growing area where some vineyards' wines are often sold-out before the grapes have even been harvested. He is a Konditormeister, a state qualified Master Pastry Chef, who moved to Edinburgh in 1998 because he loved the city but found that the types of cakes in most places were somewhat different to his German and Austrian baking style.
His style is all about restrained amounts of sugar and subtle, natural flavours. He has no interest in technological armoury used by most modern bakers, refusing, for example, to use a proving machine to speed up the making of his breads and insisting that all sponges are raised by hand in the orthodox Viennese manner by beating air into the eggs, not with the addition of raising agents.
Falko is old-fashioned in his instincts. He is both passionate and inspiring in his belief that time-honoured, labour-intensive, traditional skills can never be replaced by machines. He elevates taste over aesthetics. 'I want to eat cakes, not look at them,' he says. 'A cake should have balanced textures and flavours; it shouldn't be overly decorated and overly sweet to make up for the blandness inside.'
In Germany, cake-baking is a highly regulated profession. In order to open a cake shop, employ apprentices and call yourself a Konditormeister, or master pastry chef, you must have served at least five years in the trade and have passed demanding craft exams. "Being a Konditormeister is not simply about being able to bake, it's much more complicated," he explains. "We learn chemistry and physics, we learn how to teach apprentices and how to do the accounts as well as which ingredients to use. We have to follow German baking rules. Everything is set down in law that you have to have certain amounts of this, the right amount of that."
"For example, a Black Forest Gâteau, must have a certain percent of Kirsch in the whipped cream; strudel must be made with layers of bent dough so fine you could almost read a newspaper through them, not a puff pastry like you often find in the UK."
"This is what annoys me about some supermarkets - they call products these names but they are not right. It's important that people get a taste for the real thing."
