Anti-gay campaigner shoots himself in cathedral
Suicide at the altar shocks Notre Dame sightseers
(Picture: The Guardian/EPA)
May 22, 2013
A far-right French historian has killed himself at the altar of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris after declaring that more radical action was needed in opposition to same-sex marriage in France.
Dominique Venner, 78, walked into the building at 4pm and put a letter on the altar before shooting himself through the mouth, according to local media reports. Hundreds of visitors were immediately evacuated from the site, which is the most visited Catholic monument in Paris.
The motive for the suicide and the contents of the letter were not immediately clear, although Marine Le Pen, head of the far-right Front National, tweeted her "respect" for Venner and said his death was an "eminently political" gesture.
Manuel Valls, the French interior minister, arrived as officers cordoned off the site. He told French TV: "At the time of this act, the suicide of a desperate man, there were 1,500 people in the cathedral. These people were evacuated very quickly."
He said worshippers and tourists must have been in shock, adding: "Notre Dame is one of the most beautiful symbols of the capital and our country, and we can measure the impact of such an act."
The rector of Notre Dame, Monsignor Patrick Jacquin, said it was the first suicide in decades at the 850-year-old cathedral, which is visited by some 13 million people each year, and perhaps the first time anyone had taken their own life in the building. "It's unfortunate, it's dramatic and it's shocking," he said.
Venner, a historian and former member of the Secret Army Organisation that opposed Algerian independence in the early 1960s and waged a terror campaign against Charles de Gaulle's government, had written on his blog on Tuesday about his anger over the recent legalisation of same-sex marriage, which he called vile.
Referring to a rally planned for Sunday against the law, which also amended adoption rights, he said the demonstrators were "right to shout their impatience and anger".
He also wrote of what he described as the risk of "a France fallen to the power of Islamists", saying that for 40 years all governments and parties, except the Front National, businesses and the church had accelerated north African immigration. He added that there needed to be "new gestures, spectacular and symbolic" to "reawaken the memory of our origins". He added: "We're entering a time where words should be authenticated by actions."
The bill became law on Saturday after a parliament vote and months of street protests, political slanging matches and a rise in homophobic attacks.
François Hollande had made the legislation his flagship social reform, but the move triggered the biggest conservative and rightwing street protests in 30 years, followed by skirmishes near parliament that led to more than 200 arrests.
France is the ninth country in Europe and the 14th globally to legalise same-sex marriage. A concert to celebrate the law was scheduled to be held at Bastille in Paris on Tuesday night.
The country's first gay marriage is scheduled to take place in Montpellier, in the south, on 29 May between Vincent Autin, 40, who works in the tourist office, and Bruno Boileau, 30, a public sector employee.
More than 172 hours of heated debate in the parliament and senate meant the bill was one of the most debated in recent history, with furious clashes and a near fist-fight in the National Assembly.
One rightwing MP claimed the government was "killing children" by allowing same-sex married couples to adopt, while a senator said gay marriage would pave the way for people being able to marry animals or objects.
MPs in favour of the bill – the most significant social reform since France banned the death penalty in 1981 – suffered death threats; skinheads attacked a gay bar in Lille, while rights groups reported a surge in homophobic attacks.
One victim of such an attack, a Dutchman who lives in Paris, Wilfred de Brujin posted a picture of his bloodstained face on Facebook. The image was captioned: "Sorry to show you this. It's the face of homophobia."

Cancer has touched my family, my wife, my brother, my father, step-father, uncles and cousins and countless friends who've dealt with it and it's after-effects.
This year 2016, I plan to run 1,000 miles to help raise money to research cures. 1,000 miles turns out to be nearly 3 miles every day or almost a marathon every week if I run only once a week. It's a lot of miles to run but little compared to the journey for those who battle with cancer. My goal is raise a dollar for every mile. You can keep up to date on my running progress here

Reading To Special Need Students Education Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Dyslexia is a problem facing many students in today's educational system. Unfortunately, it appears that there are no known medical alternatives to alleviating the cognitive processing challenges presented with dyslexia. Therefore, educators are required to make instructional adjustments if dyslexic students are to be successful in an academic environment. One of the primary adjustments that must be made is in the way dyslexic students are taught to read and write. A variety of successful solutions have been developed to address this dilemma. This paper provides an overview of the problems faced by dyslexic students and how teachers can modify their instruction to accommodate these difficulties
While many strategies are used to teach and assess reading performance, some teachers believe that Accelerated Reader (AR) helps improve their students' comprehension and is a good tool to use in the classroom for assessment. However, other teachers who use AR, or are expected to use AR, may be asking if Accelerated Reader is an effective tool for them to use to reinforce and evaluate their students' comprehension. The use of the Accelerated Reader is commonplace in many schools.
The Accelerated Reader is a computer-based reading program that includes leveled books and tests that students take which provides teachers with information so that they may monitor their students' reading practices. To start, a teacher must determine each student's reading level.
Once a reading level is established, then the teacher must determine what range of books is appropriate for each student.
Students then read a book on the AR reading list and then take a multiple-choice test to demonstrate their reading competency. Once a student has completed a test, the student and the teacher will then record what score he or she received and decide whether the child should stay at the same level or move to another level.
Accelerated Reader comprehension tests are multiple-choice tests on the computer. A student first selects a book from more than 25,000 titles. Each book is assigned a point value based on the number of words it contains and its reading difficulty. After reading his or her own book, the student then takes the comprehension test on the computer and the computer scores the test immediately. The test consists of recall questions and the test is simply used for the purpose of assessing comprehension. This computer software shows teachers the average percent of correctly answered questions, the overall points earned, and the reading difficulty of each book. Accelerated Reader usually takes little time, as the most questions asked are 20. Most students can take the tests themselves by second grade, and some even by first grade.
A student will receive more points if he/she scores high on the test. For example, if a student achieves a 100% on a book valued at 10 AR points, that student will then get all 10 points and 9 points if he or she scores a 90% (and so on).
* Always finds materials quickly and gets to work
* Always sits down quietly and reads the whole time without talking or interrupting others
* Records reading on Reading List every day
* Takes a Reading Counts quiz on every book that is finished
* Usually finds materials quickly and gets to work
* Usually sits down quietly and reads the whole time; tries not to talk or interrupt others
* Records reading on Reading List almost every day
* Takes a Reading Counts quiz on most books that are finished
* Finds materials but gets to work slowly
* Wanders around, reads a little; may talk and interrupt others
* Often forgets to record reading on Reading List
* Seldom takes Reading Counts quizzes on books that are finished
* Often misplaces or looses materials; has trouble getting to work
* Wanders around; talks, interrupts others, and keeps them from reading
* Seldom remembers to record reading on Reading List
* Doesn't finish books; doesn't take Reading Counts quizzes
In conclusion The AR program is basically a tool for assisting with comprehension practice and for assessing student performance in reading comprehension. While some teachers may find value in using the Accelerated Reader in their classes, other teachers do not like the AR and don't care to use it. There can be a variety of reasons why teachers seem to have mixed opinions about the use of and effectiveness of the Accelerated Reader. Some teachers believe that the Accelerated Reader program takes time away from the teacher and the student(s) reading together. Others believe that AR does not motivate students to want to learn to read, nor does it promote reading for pleasure and enjoyment. With such mixed reviews from classroom teachers, it is important to identify teachers' attitudes and beliefs toward the Accelerated Reader because each teacher's approach to AR may be rooted in his/her opinion of the AR program

Hult Center for the Performing Arts
We open our 37th season, Tales of True Love, with the greatest classical full-length ballet of the Romantic Era. Giselle is the haunting story of an innocent peasant girl duped by a callous nobleman, Albrecht. Forced to face the truth by the lovesick Hilarion, Giselle dies of a broken heart, becomes a ghostly apparition and joins the vengeful Wilis. Adolphe Adam's music creates the eerie atmosphere where these ghosts of lovelorn maidens lure young men to dance to their deaths. But Giselle's love and forgiveness finally overcome betrayal and vengeance. Featuring some of classical ballet's most prized roles, our award-winning dancers will bring Giselle to life, and perhaps even give you the Wilis.
Be a Ballet Insider! Learn more about Giselle with EBC Artistic Director Toni Pimble, 45 minutes before curtain at both Eugene performances in The Studio, lower level at the Hult Center.

GLENWOOD, Ill., Feb. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Landauer, Inc. (NYSE: LDR), a recognized leader in personal and environmental radiation measurement and monitoring, outsourced medical physics services and high quality medical consumable accessories, today reported financial results for its fiscal 2013 first quarter ended December 31, 2012.
Fiscal 2013 First Quarter Highlights
- Revenue of $36.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013
- First fiscal quarter 2013 operating income of $6.7 million includes IT platform enhancement expense ($1.2 million) and non-cash stock based compensation ($0.7 million)
- Net income of $4.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, included $0.06 per diluted share of IT platform enhancement, and non-cash stock based compensation expenses
- EBITDA of $11.5 million for fiscal 1Q13
- Company continued successful stabilization of IT platform following fiscal 4Q12 launch
- Company reaffirms fiscal 2013 guidance
"During the quarter, we focused on several strategic initiatives to further our competitive positioning and long-term growth. Our IT systems initiative is well into the stabilization phase after a successful launch and opportunities in the military and emergency response markets have continued to expand with Radwatch system revenue in the quarter," said Bill Saxelby, President and CEO of Landauer. "We continued to make investments in technology which we believe will lead to new growth opportunities and we strengthened our human capital across a variety of key functions. These strategic efforts during the quarter, combined with our expectations and the opportunities that we see over the remainder of the year, leave us well positioned to achieve our fiscal 2013 guidance."
First Fiscal Quarter Financial Overview and Business Segment Results
Revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 were $36.7 million. The Medical Physics segment and the Medical Products segment contributed an increase of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively due to their acquisitions over prior year. The Radiation Measurement segment experienced a decrease of $0.6 million. Revenue in the quarter included $1.7 million of Radwatch System sales, primarily to the U.S. military, while the prior year included the benefit of $2.0 million in InLight equipment sales into the military market. Consolidated revenue in the quarter was negatively affected $0.2 million by currency fluctuation, as compared with the prior year period, principally due to weakness in the Euro and Real against the U.S. dollar.
Gross margins were 54.8 percent for the first fiscal quarter of 2013, compared with 59.3 percent for the first fiscal quarter of 2012. The decrease in the gross margin was primarily due to higher costs associated with the new IT platform enhancement, as a portion of depreciation is now allocated to cost of sales since the project went operational during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2012, representing $0.5 million increase; as previously capitalized investment began its scheduled depreciation with a portion related to manufacturing production being allocated in cost of sales. Additional cost of sales in the quarter includes $0.4 million of ongoing IT system support expenses, over the prior year fiscal quarter. In addition, in the prior fiscal year quarter the Medical Physics segment had a significant level of commissioning sales, which are episodic in nature with that business operating on a relative fixed margin model.
Total selling, general and administrative expenses for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 were $13.4 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 8.3 percent, compared to $12.4 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2012. For the first fiscal quarter of 2013, total selling, general and administrative included $0.7 million IT platform enhancement and $0.7 million of non-cash stock based compensation expenses. This compares with the $12.4 million reported for the first fiscal quarter of 2012, while the current quarter reflects $0.5 million increase in customer service related expenses and $0.3 million increase in IT platform enhancement related expenses. The prior year first fiscal quarter of 2012 included $0.8 million of non-cash stock based compensation related expenses. During the fourth quarter of 2012 the IT platform enhancement project successfully went operational and the balance of the above mentioned capitalized investment began its scheduled depreciation with a portion related to the non-manufacturing portion allocated to SG&A expenses, an increase of $0.3 million.
Operating income for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 was $6.7 million, a decrease of $0.9 million, or 11.8 percent compared with operating income of $7.6 million for the same quarter in fiscal 2012. Operating income, adjusted for non-recurring acquisition and reorganization expenses, IT platform enhancement related expenses, and non-cash stock based compensation expenses, for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 was $7.6 million, a 27.5 percent decrease, compared with adjusted operating income on a relative basis of $10.5 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2012.
Interest expense, net of investment income in the quarter, increased $0.4 million associated with borrowings to acquire IZI in the first fiscal quarter of 2012.
The effective tax rate for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 and 2012 was 31.1 percent and 35.0 percent, respectively. The decrease in effective tax rate was due primarily to a change in the mix of earnings based on geographic location of the Company's operations in various jurisdictions and the specific legal entities subject to taxation in those jurisdictions.
Net income for the first fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 was $4.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, which is consistent with the first fiscal quarter of 2012.
EBITDA for the fiscal first quarter 2013 was $11.5 million compared with $10.6 million in the comparable prior year period. The increase was due primarily to additional interest expense and depreciation offset slightly by lower tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA was $12.4 million compared to the prior year period Adjusted EBITDA of $13.5 million. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is included in the attached financial exhibits.
Radiation Measurement Segment
Radiation Measurement revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 decreased 2.2 percent, or $0.6 million, from the first fiscal quarter of 2012 to $26.4 million. The decrease in the quarter was primarily due to decreases at international subsidiaries over prior year first fiscal quarter.
Radiation Measurement operating income for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 decreased to $5.3 million, or 16.3 percent, from $6.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in operating income was due to increased IT expenses related to the company's IT platform enhancement of $1.2 million, decreased revenues from international subsidiaries of $0.4 million, additional customer service support of $0.5 million, additional manufacturing costs of $0.4 million, which was offset by prior year first quarter acquisition costs of $1.8 million. Corporate expenses for shared functions are recognized in the Radiation Measurement segment where they have been reported historically. Acquisition and reorganization costs are not allocated to the segments. As the Company's business model evolves in increased complexity, management may determine it necessary to change this reporting practice to reflect any appropriate allocations.
Medical Physics Segment
Medical Physics revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 increased 2.0 percent, or $0.2 million, from the comparable period in fiscal 2012 to $7.6 million due to the impact of acquired companies. The Medical Physics segment operating income was $0.8 million, or 10.4 percent of revenues, as compared to $0.9 million, or 12.0 percent of revenues, in the first fiscal quarter of 2012.
Medical Products Segment
Medical Products revenues for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 increased 22.7 percent, or $0.5 million, from the first fiscal quarter of 2012 to $2.7 million. Medical Products operating income for the first fiscal quarter of 2013 was $0.7 million, or 24.9 percent of revenues, as compared to $0.4 million, or 16.7 percent of revenues, in the first fiscal quarter of 2012. The increase in revenue and operating income is due primarily to a full quarter results in fiscal 2013 versus only 1.5 months in fiscal 2012.
Balance Sheet
Landauer ended the first fiscal quarter of 2013 with total assets of $300.8 million, a decrease of $1.3 million compared to total assets of $302.1 million at the end of fiscal 2012. The Company completed the quarter with $16.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet and unused borrowing capacity of $29.2 million under its current $175 million credit facility, which provides adequate liquidity to meet its current and anticipated obligations. Net operating cash flow generated during the first fiscal quarter of 2013 was $2.1 million.
Fiscal 2013 Outlook
Landauer's business plan for fiscal 2013 currently anticipates aggregate revenues for the year to be in the range of $164 to $168 million. The business plan also anticipates a blended effective tax rate for the full fiscal year in the range of 32 percent to 35 percent.
Based upon the above assumptions, the Company anticipates reported net income for fiscal 2013 in the range of $21 to $23 million and Adjusted EBITDA expected for fiscal 2013 in the range of $55 to $58 million.

Safe Harbor Statement
Some of the information shared here (including, in particular, the section titled "Fiscal 2013 Outlook") constitutes forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions and involve certain risks and uncertainties. These include the following, without limitation: assumptions, risks and uncertainties associated with the Company's future performance, the Company's development and introduction of new technologies in general; the ability to protect and utilize the Company's intellectual property; continued customer acceptance of the InLight technology; the adaptability of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technology to new platforms and formats; military and other government funding for the purchase of certain of the Company's equipment and services; the impact on sales and pricing of certain customer group purchasing arrangements; changes in spending or reimbursement for medical products or services; the costs associated with the Company's research and business development efforts; the usefulness of older technologies and related licenses and intellectual property; the effectiveness of and costs associated with the Company's IT platform enhancements; the anticipated results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries or ventures; valuation of the Company's long-lived assets or business units relative to future cash flows; changes in pricing of products and services; changes in postal and delivery practices; the Company's business plans; anticipated revenue and cost growth; the ability to integrate the operations of acquired businesses and to realize the expected benefits of acquisitions; the risks associated with conducting business internationally; costs incurred for potential acquisitions or similar transactions; other anticipated financial events; the effects of changing economic and competitive conditions, including instability in capital markets which could impact availability of short and long-term financing; the timing and extent of changes in interest rates; the level of borrowings; foreign exchange rates; government regulations; accreditation requirements; changes in the trading market that affect the costs of obligations under the Company's benefit plans; and pending accounting pronouncements. These assumptions may not materialize to the extent assumed, and risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to be different from what is anticipated today. These risks and uncertainties also may result in changes to the Company's business plans and prospects, and could create the need from time to time to write down the value of assets or otherwise cause the Company to incur unanticipated expenses. Additional information may be obtained by reviewing the information set forth in Item 1A "Risk Factors" and Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" and information contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012 and other reports filed by the Company, from time to time, with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake, and expressly disclaims, any duty to update any forward-looking statement whether as a result of new information, future events or changes in the Company's expectations, except as required by law.
During the past several years, the Company has been engaged in an initiative to re-engineer many of its business processes and replace significant components of its information technology systems. A principal component of this initiative is the implementation of new enterprise resource planning software and other applications to manage certain business operations. This enhancement of the Company's IT platform has been a complex project and has involved extensive customization of the Company's software and IT systems. In July 2012, the enhanced IT platform became operational. Although the Company has been encouraged by its experience with the enhanced platform during the first few months of the platform's start-up phase, there can be no assurance that, during the remainder of this start-up phase, the new platform will continue to maintain its functionality at the levels anticipated or otherwise meet the Company's business and operational objectives. If unforeseen problems arise, the Company's operations could be adversely impacted, including the ability of the Company to perform one or more of the following in a timely manner: customer quotes, customer orders, product shipment, customer services and support, order billing and tracking, contractual obligations fulfillment and related operations. As previously disclosed, the Company expects to incur ongoing maintenance expenditures for the new IT platform at levels higher than the Company traditionally experienced under its prior platform. Unforeseen problems with the new platform could increase further such expenditures.

By Elizabeth White Now that the world has connected "things," we need to build these devices as truly intelligent in order to create instantaneous and precise results. This means you have to do as much of the processing at the point of entry as you can: at the edge. The killer use cases for IoT are becoming manifest through AI engines on edge devices. An autonomous car has this dual edge/cloud analytics model, producing precise, real-time results.

By Liz McMillan There are 66 million network cameras capturing terabytes of data. How did factories in Japan improve physical security at the facilities and improve employee productivity? Edge Computing reduces possible kilobytes of data collected per second to only a few kilobytes of data transmitted to the public cloud every day. Data is aggregated and analyzed close to sensors so only intelligent results need to be transmitted to the cloud. Non-essential data is recycled to optimize storage.

By Yeshim Deniz "I think that everyone recognizes that for IoT to really realize its full potential and value that it is about creating ecosystems and marketplaces and that no single vendor is able to support what is required," explained Esmeralda Swartz, VP, Marketing Enterprise and Cloud at Ericsson, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at @ThingsExpo, held June 7-9, 2016, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY.

By Liz McMillan Microservices are a very exciting architectural approach that many organizations are looking to as a way to accelerate innovation. Microservices promise to allow teams to move away from monolithic "ball of mud" systems, but the reality is that, in the vast majority of organizations, different projects and technologies will continue to be developed at different speeds. How to handle the dependencies between these disparate systems with different iteration cycles? Consider the "canoncial problem" ... Mar. 28, 2017 06:00 AM EDT Reads: 8,948 |
By Yeshim Deniz Keeping pace with advancements in software delivery processes and tooling is taxing even for the most proficient organizations.

By Liz McMillan My team embarked on building a data lake for our sales and marketing data to better understand customer journeys. This required building a hybrid data pipeline to connect our cloud CRM with the new Hadoop Data Lake. One challenge is that IT was not in a position to provide support until we proved value and marketing did not have the experience, so we embarked on the journey ourselves within the product marketing team for our line of business within Progress.

By Yeshim Deniz DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die. A Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has many benefits that provide the needed base for a true DevOps paradigm. Mar. 28, 2017 01:00 AM EDT Reads: 2,403 |

After painstakingly researching this game, I think it started out pretty well, bringing Clint on board, getting a few Hollywood voice actors and what not.
But around the point that they practically announced it as a sandbox game is when things started to look dismal.
That and the fact that you always had to wait about a year to hear anything from it...
Do you think this could ever have been a good game?
I had some hope for it when it was announced, but i kinda lost interest.
I haven't looked into it, but if it was set up the way I envision LA Noir to be like (don't know much about that game either :P), then I think it could have been...okay...
...holy shit, that would have been pretty fucking sweet.
Hard call. There's the generational gap to consider. How many people watched and enjoyed Dirty Harry movies? How many of the same people also enjoy video games? I'm not saying it's impossible, but the odds are stacked against such a game making money off the mainstream audience.
Personally, I'm all for it.... but I fit the description above..
they need to get this game finished man. i would love to play a dirty harry game. it was a franchise destined for video games.
"it's a movie game, so no...umm...okay.unless it's made by Rockstar(Warriors), then no."
Oh man, I remember this. And that Indiana Jones whip physics game.
You totally don't have to worry because there is a Dirty Harry game that's already out!
I'd never heard of that in my life before...
" I'd never heard of that in my life before... "me neither, and DAMN it sounds exciting !! it got cancelled? :(
