By Robert L. Reeves & Nancy E. Miller
The holidays are a time for being with family. I was reminded of that recently. I was standing in the hallway outside of the Immigration courtroom where my client had just been granted a waiver for misrepresentation and lawful permanent status. I was explaining that she would receive her green card in the mail within a few weeks after she took her post-grant fingerprints. I told her that, once she received the card, she could travel outside the United States. I asked her if she had any plans for the holidays. My client's eyes lit up. Oh yes she replied, I'm going home to be with my children and my parents. Her eyes glowed when she talked about the presents she was going to bring and how they would come running to greet her. She smiled when she talked about being able to hug them and kiss them after so many years of separation.
I returned her smile, happy to be able to have brought such joy to my client on the eve of the holidays. I thought about how many families travel great distances at this time of year to be together. Families feel the pull to be together at this time of the year more than at most other times. They want to share their religious observances. They want to feel united. They want to greet the new year together and share their hope that the next year will be better than the last.
Then I thought of the families who cannot be together for the holidays this year. I thought of the families that were together but are now separated because ICE officers came and deported a family member who had an old deportation order. I thought of the people who made one mistake many years ago and have a criminal conviction. Despite having led exemplary lives since then, they are now facing deportation because of something that they paid for years ago. I thought of the people who were so desperate to enter the United States that they misrepresented their name or marital status and are now being denied waivers, either by Citizenship & Immigration Services or by the U.S. Consulate. They are trapped either inside or outside the United States and can't be with their families.
We are a nation of immigrants. Reuniting families and keeping families together must be the overriding priority of all immigration laws.
It has always been our goal at Reeves & Associates to help families live together in the United States. We are pleased that our firm has been able to help as many people as we have. However, we recognize that many more people need help. Immigration reform must be passed. People who have lived and worked and raised their families in the United States must have a means of legalizing their status. The DREAM Act should be passed to recognize that immigrants who came to the United States as children truly do belong here. We pledge that, in the coming year, we will continue to work to make the laws and the government agencies fair and responsive and to lawfully reunite families in the United States.
Best wishes for a Happy, Healthy New Year for families everywhere.

When the L.A. design firm Commune shared photos of its new pop-up in Japan -- a traveling shop and cafe featuring collaborations with Heath Ceramics and"Beginners" director and artist Mike Mills, among others -- what initially caught our eye weren't Mills' limited-edition prints, which are great, but rather a series of fingerprint graphics lining one wall.
It turns out the prints in question belong to the thumb of Bauhaus artist Herbert Bayer. Commune uses the thumbprint as a maker's mark, its signature "for anything we do that is handcrafted," Roman Alonso, a partner in the firm, said via email in response to our inquiry. "It's our homage to the Bauhaus school, which is always a source of inspiration."
Earlier this year, Karim Rashid deployed his fingerprint as a graphic pattern for a BoConcept rug. We asked artist Judith Seng about her use of a fingerprint motif for her porcelain Fingerbowl. Responding by email from Berlin, where she is based, Seng said she conceived her piece as a rapid prototyping project for a most personal gift, something that literally has your three-dimensional personal stamp. Her artist's statement further explains: "To consciously give somebody one's personal fingerprint is a matter of trust and empathy."

China Malone works in the intensive care unit at Metroplex Adventist Hospital in Texas. Each day she sees patients reaching for life while battling death. Their tired eyes reveal frustration and fear.
"I've been there. I've done that, so I know how they feel," China said.
After nearly losing her own life to an aneurism, China found new purpose at work: helping others know the Lord. Her brush with death, she said, reignited her faith and commitment to God.
Though her occupation does not require speaking to patients, China reaches out to them through prayer. And when she does, amazing things take place.
Once, she met a mother and son who were facing an uncertain future. The young man was very sick and not expected to recover. China learned that in the past he attended church, but had lost his faith in recent years. Undaunted, she began to pray with the mother every day.
"I wanted to see this man gain back his health and his faith," she said.
Within a few weeks, changes started taking place. They were small at first—different readings on the monitors—but grew into a full recovery.
"We all rejoiced," China said. "The whole ICU, all the nurses rejoiced."
But the real miracle is what happened afterwards. Once he left the hospital, the young man decided to give his life to the Lord, where he then found true health and happiness.
That's how it works, China said. "We plant a seed and the Lord makes them grow."

At the executive meeting on Nov 23, Premier Li Keqiang urged related departments to publish the list of occupational qualifications.
Required occupational qualifications should be published for the public, and no new ones should be added beyond the list, unless it is really necessary, said the Premier.
Since 2014, 319 vocational qualifications have been slashed, and the meeting added 114 more. So far, 70 percent of vocational qualifications by departments under the State Council have been eliminated.
According to the Premier, related departments should carefully review the canceled qualifications and identifications to prevent them from coming back under new names.
What is more important is setting up an open and transparent list of occupational qualifications, said the Premier.
Two days ago, while presiding over the seminar on administration streamlining, Premier Li said that an open and transparent list will help curb abuse of power by officials who seek bribes and avoid under-the-table operations, adding that transparency is a way to prevent corruption and increase efficiency.
During the seminar, many local officials stated that administration streamlining, fair supervision, optimized services, and particularly mass entrepreneurship and innovation in business system reform, have played an important role in withstanding the economic downturn and generating employment.
The government should transform its functions to inspire market vitality and social creativity. It is the fundamental policy for people's well-being and China's economic growth as a whole, said the Premier.

In part 1 of this series, we introduced and showcased the new communication feature that made it easier to send a message to players who have completed a form. If you missed the 1st part of the series then it will be helpful to read Part 1 first.
In part 2, we're moving away from forms and taking a look at the new tracking message read status feature. This new addition allows you to see detailed information about players who have viewed your message on TeamPages or in their mail client.
Let us walk you through a step by step tutorial on how this feature works.
Step 1: Creating a new message
Before we can do anything, we need to create a new message. To create a message, navigate to your inbox by clicking on the mail icon, located in the top right corner, and selecting the 'INBOX' link form the drop down menu (indicated by red arrow on the screenshot below).
Once you reach your inbox click on the 'NEW' link (indicated by red arrow on the screenshot below) that will take you to the new message page.
Step 2: Sending new message
Now that we have reached the new message page (see screenshot below), we'll send a demo message to a couple of players.
To message a player, begin by typing their name in the 'To:' box. A drop down menu should appear which allows you to add that player as a message recipient (for our demo message, we've attached 3 different recipients indicated by 1 on the screenshot below). Now that we have our recipients ready, we can fill in the title and body of our message (indicated by 2 on the screenshot below). Finally, to enable tracking, make sure to check the 'Track read status' checkbox (indicated by 3 on the screenshot below). When you are satisfied with your message, click on the green 'SAVE' button (indicated by 4 on the screenshot below) to send the message.
Step 3: Reading message
In this step, each recipient that is part of the message from step 2 will read the message.
Let's begin by logging in onto the 1st recipient's ('Oleg Matvejev 3' from the 2nd step screenshot) TeamPages account. Afterwards, navigate to that account's inbox and open the message that we sent in step 2. By opening the message on TeamPages we marked that message as read.
For the 2nd recipient ('Oleg Matvejev 2' from step 2), we'll open the message using a web-based email service. When you open the message's notification email, you are marking it as read.
For the last recipient ('Oleg Matvejev' from step 2), we'll mark the message as read using read receipts (keep in mind that read receipts are not supported by most web-based email services and are only available for certain mail clients such as Outlook and Thunderbird). In our case, we'll open the email message using Thunderbird client. Once the email message is loaded, a read receipt header will appear that allows us to mark the message as read. Click on the 'Send Return Receipt' button to mark that we've read the email message (indicated by the red arrow on the screenshot below).
Step 4: Read Status Verification
Let's check if anyone read our message. Open the original message from the message sender's inbox. If you look at the bottom right corner of the message, you'll see a new link telling us that our message was read by 3 people (indicated by red arrow on the screenshot below).
Press the 'Seen by 3 people' link from the screenshot above to see more information about the people who have read your message. A new popup window displaying information about the users who have read your message will appear.
We hope you enjoyed our previews of new communication features. If you have any questions, suggestions, or feedback about these features, please let us know in the comments below or in any other convenient for you way.

Someone asked me in email about the difference between nanopowders and molecular manufacturing. My response seems suitable for a blog post:
For a very brief overview of molecular manufacturing, see http://crnano.org/whatis.htm.
Nanopowders are small, relatively simple structures made by relatively large machines. Molecular manufacturing uses small machines (in fact, nanoscale machines) under computer control to make intricate products via molecular additive techniques. The range of products includes small machines, and it turns out that you can scale up production fairly quickly, due to scaling law advantages of small machines.
Computer-controlled additive manufacturing at the level of molecular bonds implies general-purpose manufacturing: a single manufacturing system could build a wide range of products depending on what blueprints were fed in. Complete products, that is; not merely shapes like today's rapid prototyping systems. And, again thanks to scaling laws and a few physics tricks, the products would have orders of magnitude higher performance than today's versions.
Molecular manufacturing is, so far, in the early stages of research; as an industrial process, it doesn't exist yet. But when it's developed, watch out! I expect it to do for manufacturing what computers did for data processing. We used to have rooms full of people doing arithmetic and even writing by hand. In the future, we will "used to have" factories full of people and special-purpose machines making individual components and then assembling them into products.
The implications of molecular manufacturing go beyond the economic impacts. One implication is rapid R&D of highly advanced aerospace technology, including weapons--it looks to me like this could be a major factor in geopolitics. It is implications like this that are CRN's reason for existence.

I expect my students to understand the conventions of painting and drawing in order to subvert them. My own studio practice, rooted in the modern traditions of painting, drawing and printmaking while exploring contemporary ideas of abstraction serves as a model for my approach to teaching. I push students to explore the boundaries and limitations of their media as well as their conceptual thinking. The introduction of the formal elements of media - color, light, line, gesture - acts as a springboard for investigating larger ideas. I challenge my students to ask themselves what it means to be an artist today - that is, what it means to see and respond to the world in a decidedly visual way. I ask students to work in a responsive way to the things that move them, to find their authentic voice. Throughout my classes, I work closely with my students to develop a vocabulary of a visual language that is uniquely their own and challenge the meanings they create.
As I see it, the teacher's primary task is to understand who a student is as an individual and to help them give voice to their particular interests, ideas and inspirations. I spend a long time listening to a student, trying to understand who they are in order to engage them in a dialogue with myself, their peers and artists of the past to better understand where the potential lies in their work. Rather than simply demonstrate how something should be done, I like to present questions and possibilities. A teacher, I believe, should act as a guide, a positive and challenging force. When a goal is set and reached through struggle, questioning and personal decisions, the student gains confidence and grows as a result. When the target is close and easily reached, the teacher is there to help move it back. An artist, alone in the studio has to learn to ask difficult questions of themselves in order to move beyond what is known to him already. Good teaching prepares a student for this daily practice in art and the sustained, studio investigation that is a life in creating, searching for answers to those questions.

The Miniver Story A brave family comes together... MORE > $15.96 Regularly $19.99 Buy Now
powered by AFI
Eight years after the triumph of Mrs. Miniver (1942), which had won 12 Academy Award nominations and five awards including Best Picture and Best Actress (Greer Garson), MGM chose to produce a sequel, The Miniver Story (1950), taking the characters from Jan Struther' source novel and putting them through new experiences. The decision to film the sequel in England, at MGM's lstree Studio, was among the efforts put forth by producer Sidney Franklin to make the sequel more authentic than the original. Others included more realistic sets and costumes.
Garson took an active role in creating the screenplay, which has the Miniver family being brought together after the end of World War II, the source of much of the drama of the original. She and Franklin agreed that, as Mrs. Miniver had personified British courage during the war, she should exemplify the experience of the postwar English people. Walter Pidgeon, returning as her husband, Clem, has a line in which he says, "You've had quite a war, Mrs. Miniver, and youre having quite a peace. Cooking, washing, scrubbing, standing in queues hunting for rations, finding the meals, reading the headlines..." Mrs. Miniver's new crises also involved an amorous American colonel (John Hodiak) and a terminal illness.
Returning from the original cast, along with Garson and Pidgeon, were Henry Wilcoxson and Reginald Owen as the local vicar and grocer. Noticeably absent was Richard Ney, who had played Garson's son in the original. In the interim, despite the nine-year difference in their ages, Garson had married and divorced the actor. Garson biographer Michael Troyan relates that, with characteristic humor, the actress proposed a means of explaining Ney's absence in the sequel: "Well, we could have a scene in which Walter and I - he with his newspaper, with my knitting - would be sitting at home one evening. I turn to him and say, 'Oh, by the way, I had a letter from Vinny today...You remember Vinny, our son who went off to Hollywood and married Greer Garson.'" An early story synopsis revealed the character's true fate: "Five years ago the Minivers lost their eldest, Vin, an RAF pilot, in the Battle of Britain."
Producer: Sidney Franklin
Director: H.C. Potter
Screenplay: George Froeschel, Ronald Millar, Randal Miller, inspired by characters created by Jan Struther

A common thread of Thought and Truth ran through the best thinkers in history.
Baruch Spinoza believed in a "Philosophy of tolerance and benevolence" and actually lived the life he preached.
Harold Bloom, wrote:
"As a teacher of reality, he practiced his own wisdom, and was surely one of the most exemplary human beings ever to have lived."
Goethe recounts the way in which Spinoza's Ethics calmed the sometimes unbearable emotional turbulence of his youth.
Goethe later displayed his grasp of Spinoza's metaphysics in a fragmentary elucidation of some Spinozist ontological principles entitled Study After Spinoza.
Moreover, he cited Spinoza alongside Shakespeare and Carl Linnaeus as one of the three strongest influences on his life and work.
Albert Einstein named Spinoza as the philosopher who exerted the most influence on his world view.
Spinoza equated God (infinite substance) with Nature, consistent with Einstein's belief in an impersonal deity.
In 1929, Einstein was asked in a telegram by Rabbi Herbert S. Goldstein whether he believed in God. Einstein responded by telegram:
"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings."
Spinoza Synopsis (With my Spin)
We are emotional beings that think reason provides us with the illusion of Choice!
We are driven by Impulses, a polarity, that either make us:
More Human (The Creative Force: towards growth and Truth)
Less Human (The Adaptive Instinct: towards safety and survival)
An emotion can only be displaced or overcome by a stronger emotion.
For Spinoza, the crucial distinction was between:
active emotions: rationally understood. Conscious
passive emotions: not rationally understood. Unconscious
*knowledge of true causes of passive emotion can transform it to an active emotion.
Through the search of Truth we can expose Unconscious emotions and See them.
Reason and Logic alone can never reveal the deeper truths
While components of the chain of cause and effect are not beyond the understanding of human reason, human grasp of the infinitely complex whole is limited because of the limits of science to empirically take account of the whole sequence.
Spinoza also asserted that sense perception, though practical and useful, is inadequate for discovering truth.
Conatus human beings' natural inclination is to:
Strive (employ their own Will) toward preserving an essential being and an assertion that virtue/human power is defined by success in this preservation of being by the guidance of reason as one's central ethical doctrine.
*Striving through ones own Will depletes us and disempowers us!
The three kinds of knowledge that come with perceptions.
The first kind of knowledge: is the knowledge of experiences. More precisely, this first type of knowledge can be known as the knowledge of things that could be "mutilated, confused, and without order." Irrational
Aka the knowledge of dangerous reasoning lacks any type of rationality that causes the mind to be in "passive" state. "passive mind" is a state of the mind in where adequate causes become passions.
*Unconscious, emotionally we are driven to "Rationalize" to appear to apply Reason to our choices
The second knowledge:involves reasoning plus emotions. This knowledge is had by the rationality of any adequate causes that have to do with anything common to the human mind.
This could be anything that is classified as of being imperfect virtue. Imperfect virtues are those that are incomplete virtues.
*We are driven Unconsciously by our emotions but we apply reason that, to the Common person, appears to have merit. This is coined an Imperfect Virtue because we attempt to imitate virtue as the Common person understands it
The third knowledge: the knowledge of God or Nature or the Truth. This type of knowledge requires rationality and reason of the mind. This type of knowledge joins together the essence of God with the individual essence. This knowledge is also formed from any adequate causes that include perfect virtue.
*We merge the Truth of Self with the Truth of Nature/God. We are Aware, we are Conscious. We are not Striving with our own Powered Will! A Perfect Virtue can only be experienced in this way. In our way, not through doing what we think we should based upon the Common man.
Intuitive knowledge:
provides the greatest satisfaction of mind, the more we are conscious of ourselves and Nature/Universe, the more perfect and blessed we are (in reality) and that only intuitive knowledge is eternal.
The world as it exists looks imperfect only because of our limited perception.
the highest virtue is the intellectual love or knowledge of God/Nature/Universe.
"True Blessedness"
emotions must be detached from external cause and so master them,
*foreshadow psychological techniques, anything we attach ourselves to outside of ourself cannot be rational

I try to keep the focus of my ZONE posts on fun stuff; things that I find interesting and hope that you do too.
This entry isn't about the comic convention that I went to last weekend, the great book that I'm reading, or even the tv shows that I've enjoyed this summer
This entry is about the horrific wake left by Hurricane Katrina.
Daytona was hit by three hurricanes last year. Three! And I'd go through six more, to avoid one like Katrina.
The worst part was not when the storms were hitting. By far the worst was when the storms had passed and we were left to deal with the aftermath. Flooded streets. No power for days. Which meant no air conditioning, no refrigeration, no hot water or warm meals. And then there was the damage. People left homeless. Businesses wiped out. People injured or killed as a direct result of the hurricane.
We experienced all of that. But on a scale no where near the one facing the survivors of Katrina.
Don't worry, I'll be back with a more upbeat topic tomorrow. Maybe I'll post up pics and a con report, or tell you about The Killings of Stanley Ketchel, or even the tv shows this summer that have kept me entertained. But until then...
Our thoughts and prayers are with the millions of families facing the days ahead.

Internet security is vital in the wake of nude photo scandal
IT IS an extreme violation of privacy that no one ever wants to find themselves being a victim of, yet celebrities around the world are facing the humiliation of nude photo scandals on a regular basis.
Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence is the latest celebrity whose phone software has been hacked and more than 60 graphic images of the 24-year-old star in compromising positions were leaked on the web this week.
The leak reportedly occurred due to the back-up storage software iCloud, which led to hackers gaining access to more than 100 celebrities' phones and computers.
Other celebrities who have become embroiled in the scandal include Kirsten Dunst, Ariana Grande, Victoria Justice and Aussie actress Yvonne Strahovski.
Strahovski, who reportedly has said the nude images leaked of her were fake, has taken to social media site Instagram to offer her support to fellow victims.
"To my fellow actresses whose privacy has been invaded - my heart goes out to you," she said.
"I'm so disappointed that there are people in the world who feel the need to commit these criminal acts."
She wrote that some of the pictures were fake, her own included, but asked the world to not share the links to scandalous photos.
"Don't even look at the photos. Just let people have the privacy they deserve," she said.
"Integrity is sacred."
And it's not just the rich and famous that hackers can target.
Think that intimate snap you took on your phone, in the privacy of your own home, is safe?
You probably should give that a re-think.
CQUniversity's head of Digital Media, Associate Professor Steven Pace, said it was a matter of weighing up the benefits against the risks.
"iCloud is basically a password-protected internet storage service that allows people to access their photos, music, videos, email, and other files from any device that is connected to the service," he said.
"Cloud-based services are generally very secure, but there is always some element of risk when you store information online."
Assoc Prof Pace said users could make their data vulnerable if they used the system in an insecure way.
"Some people choose short, simple passwords that are easy to guess or that can be easily cracked by malicious software and some people choose easy security questions that online systems use to verify your identity," he said.
"Some people use the same login details for all of their online services, which means that when one account is hacked they all become vulnerable."
Bundaberg Criminal Investigation Branch Detective Senior Sergeant Joe Hildred said photos and other personal information were never 100% protected when it came to social media and other forms of technology.
"If you do that you run the risk of your phone falling into the hands of someone who will use those images for illegitimate purposes," he said.
"Always have a password on your phone so if you do lose it, people can't access your photos and other content."

Portrait of a juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk – Nikon D70, handheld. f5.6, 1/200, Nikkor 70-300mm VR at 300mm, flash fired, not baited
In July of 2007 I was fortunate to follow and photograph a family of Red-shouldered Hawks at Sawgrass Lake Park in Florida for a few weeks when the fledglings were learning to hunt for themselves. Because Sawgrass Lake Park has a high number of visitors each day the hawks were used to people and didn't flush easily.
This juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk was perched on a metal fence post so I opted to go for a portrait to remove the "hand of man". My EXIF information doesn't list the ISO used for this shot but I do know that the auto flash fired. I was still using my Nikon D70 when all of these images were created.
Red-shouldered Hawk juvenile – Nikon D70, handheld, f5.6, 1/320, ISO 640, Nikkor 70-300mm VR at 300mm, flash fired, not baited
The day after the portrait above was taken I was back at Sawgrass Lake Park hoping for decent light and to find the young hawks again, I found the Red-shouldered juveniles but the light wasn't great because of thunder storms rolling through the area. I had been photographing this immature Red-Shouldered Hawk as it perched in a pine tree when it flew directly at me and as it flew over my head I could feel the whoosh of air from its wings. I thought the young hawk was going to carry off the straw hat I was wearing but as I turned I could see it had landed on the ground about 15 feet from me and was dispatching what appeared to be a Palmetto Bug.
Juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk trying to catch a Yellow Rat Snake – Nikon D70, handheld, f4.8, 1/400, ISO 1000, Nikkor 70-300mm VR at 80mm, flash fired, not baited
Not long after the juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk ate the Palmetto Bug I could hear another Red-shouldered Hawk calling and the hawk I was photographing flew towards the sound. I slowly followed the sound and used the trunks of trees as blinds as I walked. I came up on two young Red-shouldered Hawks, one on the fence and the other was perched higher in a tree above the hawk you see in this frame. The hawks were very interested in trying to catch this Yellow Rat Snake (Elaphe obsoleta) that had woven its body through the links of the fence. I took a few images and left because I didn't want to disrupt the hawks.
The next time I went to the park I measured one of the square links in the fence and according to my calculations this snake was over 6 foot in length. Sorry about the poor quality of the last image, it was dark under the trees and there was a light rain falling but I did want to capture the interactions I was observing.
I enjoyed following this family of Red-shouldered Hawks that summer.
Life is good.

Last week, Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) announced that it's making QuickOffice free. The search giant acquired the popular mobile productivity suite last year and has relaunched it under its multi-colored umbrella. Meanwhile, Apple also just said it will include iWork for iOS for free on all new iOS devices.
Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Office cash cow has had trouble making the shift to mobile platforms, and the company's current offering is available only for paying Office 365 subscribers. With Apple and Google offering free alternatives on the consumer level, Microsoft may have a tough sell.
On the other hand, Microsoft's core Office market is the enterprise. Google is attacking that market with Google Apps for Business, but Apple has little to no interest in the enterprise productivity software market. The office business is Microsoft's most profitable by far, so it potentially has a lot to lose if these threats escalate even further.
In the following video, Erin Kennedy discusses the risks to Microsoft with Evan Niu, CFA.

THIS YEAR'S Cumbernauld 10k was the biggest and most successful yet, according to event organisers.
The event, which celebrated its sixth year, welcomed the highest number of entries for the race yet, with a total of 672 compared to 557 last year. Child participation was also a record high, with the number lining up for the 1k and 3k runs well over 1,000.
Crossing the line in first place was Andrew Dearie from Shettleston Athletics Club in a time of 32 minutes 10 seconds, with Robert Gilroy from Ronhill Cambuslang Harriers in second place and Martin Hayes from Victoria Park Club coming home third.
In the women's race, Shona Aiken from Central Athletics Club crossed the line first in 40 minutes 30 seconds. Runner-up was Angela Park from Perth Road Runners and third place went to Ruth Fraser-Moodie from Lenzie.
For the first time, supporters of the event's charity partners, the Scottish Spina Bifida Association and the Scottish Centre for Children with Motor Impairments took part in the Victory Mile.
Around 40 young people affected by spina bifida, hydrocephalus and cerebral palsy along with their friends and family completed the walk in and around Broadwood Stadium. They were also joined by members of the Watch Us Grow group, based at Palacerigg Country Park, which helps people with disabilities and mental health problems to develop new skills, confidence and self esteem.
The participants were led by wheelchair racer and Paralympic torch bearer Meggan Dawson Farrell who holds all the Scottish records from 800 metres upwards, including the marathon which she broke on her first attempt at the distance last April. She will be competing in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014.
North Lanarkshire Provost Jim Robertson presented prizes to the winning runners and congratulated everyone involved on the success of the event: "Once again we have had a fantastic day in Cumbernauld with hundreds of runners turning taking part in the events. I'm very pleased to see the event continuing to grow every year, particularly as it is a great way of encouraging more children to get involved in sport.
"I would like to congratulate everyone who took part in our first ever Victory Mile on their achievement. It is inspiring to see the young people overcoming their disabilities to complete the challenge, and I hope the event will expand next year to enable others to take part."
The 3k run for S1 to S4 pupils attracted a record entry of 123 in the third year of the event. In the boys' event Josh Devine from Our Lady's High School in Cumbernauld took first place, with Scott Munro of Cumbernauld High School in second and Connor Allan from Airdrie Academy in third place.
Roisin Smith from St Andrew's High School in Coatbridge took gold in the girls' run, followed home by Sophie Hall from Dalziel High School in Motherwell and Maura Frances Rodgers from St Aloysius High School, Glasgow.
Over 250 primary 5 to 7 children lined up for the series of 1k runs. The results were:
P5 boys: 1. Brodie Young from Chryston Primary School; 2. Calum Pettigrew-Smith from Cumbernauld Primary; 3. Michael Flynn from Cumbernauld Primary School.
P5 girls: 1. Emma Jeffrie from St Michael's Primary, Moodiesburn; 2. Saoirsa Ferguson, Holy Cross Primary in Croy; 3. Chloe Balfour of Eastfield Primary School in Cumbernauld.
P6 boys: 1. Calum Little from Cumbernauld Primary; 2. Dylan Elliott of Lairdsland Primary in Kirkintilloch; 3. Jacob Brown from St Joseph's Primary in Stepps.
P6 girls: 1. Lauren O'Neill from Glasgow Academy; 2. Carmen Durick from St Aloysius in Glasgow; 3. Hannah Wallace of Cumbernauld Primary.
P7 boys: 1. Lee Whitmore of Carbrain Primary in Cumbernauld; 2. Lewis Blain of Cumbernauld Primary; 3. Ayden McCormack of Cumbernauld Primary.
P7 girls: 1. Emma Walton of Kirktonholm Primary in East Kilbride; 2. Dion Ingram of Ladywell Primary in Motherwell; 3. Maureen McMenemy of St Patrick's Primary in New Stevenston.
The day is organised by North Lanarkshire Council, in partnership with North Lanarkshire Leisure Ltd, NHS Lanarkshire and Campsies Centre Cumbernauld Ltd with support from Strathmore Spring Water and the Cumbernauld News and Kilsyth Chronicle.

Newt Gingrich stated recently that the Palestinians are an 'invented' people. Are they Arabs as all the surrounding countries or do they have a particular ethnicity that links them uniquely to Palestine?
Prior to the 1948 rebirth of Israel, people who used the word "Palestinians," were referring to Jews, not Arabs. The Jews living in "Palestine," then under the control of the British, called themselves "Palestinians." The Jewish newspaper now called the Jerusalem Post was then called the "Palestine Post."
Sometime after the 1967 Six-Day War when Israel captured Judea, Samaria, and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Gaza Strip from Egypt, Yasser Arafat began his terrorist war against Israel literally inventing a new national identity of Arab "Palestinians" as a pretext for doing so. There is no language known as Palestinian. There is no distinct Palestinian culture. There has never been a land known as Palestine governed by Palestinians. Therefore there are no historic Palestinians. It's a political fantasy sold to the world by those opposed to a Jewish national homeland called Israel. (Source: WND Joseph Farah)

How about a tutorial on how to mount internet filesystems, such as GmailFS, JungleDisk, or SSHFS?
I need some solution to expand the internal disk, and these network-based disks seem ideal. Perhaps a speed test could round it out.

I was actually thinking about that the other day, I use a program for my PSP called netfs to share my files over the internet. Something for the EEE should be doable.

I have installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my EEE, and almost everything works. I do however have troubles getting a 1440x900 resolution on my external display using xrandr (I run compiz 3D effects) whereas I can get certain other resolutions to work (I guess I have to add some modeline, but I don't know exactly).
A tutorial on this would be truely appreciated!

How about how to boot Windows XP from a flash drive or external hard drive?

- Peter in Japan said...
I'd like to request more OS X stuff. I downloaded the 10.4.8 install that's floating around there and got it installed, although it failed to boot (kernal panic every time). Possibly due to the "options" button to allow me to set the partition boot system not showing up for me (as it supposedly does for people installing Leopard). Possibly due to some other step I left off (the "post install patch" that I saw, again for Leopard, that many swore they didn't need to do). So, can you or anyone offer such a walkthrough?

Woman in court on Carrickfergus riot charges
A woman accused of rioting in Carrickfergus, County Antrim, has been banned from going within 500 metres of any further loyalist flag protests.
The prohibition on Laura Nicholl, 20, is one of the conditions under which she was granted bail.
Ms Nicholl, of Unity Street, Carrickfergus, faces charges of riotous behaviour, assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.
She is to appear again before Belfast Magistrates' Court in six weeks.
District Judge Fiona Bagnall granted bail on condition that the accused abides by an 8pm-7am curfew.
Mrs Bagnall also ordered: "She is not to be within 500 metres of any demonstration."

I'm incredibly lazy when it comes to any kind of body maintenance. I prefer abrasive gloves to a pot of body scrub, and I generally steer well clear of body moisturisers because they take so long to apply and rub in. Plus, given a long soak in the bath, I'm generally far too relaxed and sleepy to bother with lotion anyway.
Luckily, I have the kind of skin which is reasonably soft without the need for moisturiser. That said, I do love a bit of extra silkiness - so long as it comes with absolutely no effort. I've long loved dry oil sprays for that very reason - spritz over damp skin, wave hands over body a bit, air dry, and voila! Moisturised, silky soft skin.
I recently treated myself to a bottle of No 7's Pampering Dry Oil Body Spray, which comes in a generously sized 200ml bottle and costs a reasonable £8.75. I've been using it after baths as and when I can be bothered, and have found that much like the classic Avon dry oils I've used in the path, the No 7 spray is rather lovely - inoffensively scented, it smells slightly powdery on application, and once it's sunk in, leaves no discernible fragrance on the skin. It sinks in quickly, requiring only minimal smoothing across the skin, and leaves absolutely no residue at all.
Packaging wise, it's not the most luxurious looking product in the world - but with it's frosted embossed scrollwork, it's pretty enough to leave on display. The spray head dispenses a perfectly fine mist which covers a decent amount of skin, making it very quick to apply.
One word of caution: whilst dry oil body sprays are indeed excellent for lazy moisturising, they are also pretty lethal if you spritz yourself whilst standing on a tile floor and then try to walk out of the room. I've taken to applying mine whilst standing in the bath, and then climbing out very, very carefully, to avoid the worst of the slipping potential.
Aside from the potential danger caused by my own ineptness, I'm pretty much in love with this affordable, accessible dry oil spray - the light, subtle scent and quick absorption make it a must have in any lazy lady's bathroom. If you'd like to try it for yourself, you'll find it both in store and online at Boots, where a 200ml bottle will cost you £8.75. What do you think? Love dry oil sprays, or prefer to invest time in a body butter? Let us know in the comments!


text: BUCHANAN -- There have been no decisions about a tent at Buchanan Fest, but the proposal will at least be entertained. The Buchanan Commissioners agreed Monday night to let plans for a beer tent be submitted at their May 23 meeting. The decision to take up the issue was made at the request of Buchanan Area Chamber of Commerce President Alice Kring. "I feel you should at least review it before you vote for or against it,'' Kring said. Kring went before the commission two weeks ago with several ideas for Buchanan Fest, including a beer tent. Her request for permission to begin pursuing a beer tent for this year's Buchanan Fest drew a split vote from the commission on an issue that's long been a source of controversy. For the past few years, the beer tent hasn't been a part of Buchanan Fest due to concerns over behavior of festivalgoers and a belief by many in the community that alcoholic beverages are unsuitable for a family event. It was discontinued once before and then brought back after several years of sometimes heated debate, but its new lease on life was short-lived. This time, Kring said the Miss Buchanan organization has expressed interest in sponsoring the beer tent and wants to draft a plan designed to ensure it's run properly. The city or chamber would officially have nothing to do with the tent, she said. Kring also emphasized her suggestion for a beer tent is only a reflection of the number of people who've approached her thinking a beer tent would draw more people to the festival, which runs Aug. 25-27. "I, personally, could care less if we have a beer tent. I would like to make that public because I've been getting harassed a lot. I only came forward because there's been lots of interest,'' Kring said. Commissioner Marlin McGuire said he would prefer to go over the plan once it's presented May 23 before a possible vote is taken sometime afterward.

Scholem, Gershom Gerhard
Scholem, Gershom Gerhard gĕr´shôm gĕr´härt shō´ləm [key], 1897–1982, Jewish scholar, b. Berlin. He studied at the universities of Berlin, Jena, Bern, and Munich. Scholem received (1922) his doctorate for a dissertation on the earliest extant kabbalistic work, Sefer ha-Bahir (c.1230). In 1923 he left Germany and settled in Palestine. His revolutionary translation and commentary, published as Das Buch Bahir (1923), began a career that was to remove the history of kabbalah from the shadows of Jewish scholarship and to make the study of it and of Jewish mysticism in general important scholarly disciplines. Scholem was the librarian of the Hebrew Univ. of Jerusalem and National Library (1923–27), lecturer at the university (1925–32), and professor of Jewish mysticism and kabbalah there from 1933 until his retirement in 1965. He was the author of over 500 articles and books his major works in English include Major Trends in Jewish Mysticism (1941), Jewish Gnosticism, Merkabah Mysticism, and the Talmudic Tradition (1960), The Messianic Idea in Judaism (tr. 1971), Sabbatai Zevi, the Mystical Messiah (1973), and Kabbalah (1974).
See his autobiography, From Berlin to Jerusalem (1980) A. D. Skinner, Gershom Scholem: A Life in Letters, 1914–1982 (2002) study by D. Biale (2d ed. 1982).

See Paragraph B-3 of the League Rules for an example of how flexible scheduling works with thirteen teams playing on three surfaces, where five teams play three matches each, three teams play four matches each, four teams play five matches each and one team plays seven matches.
When hosting, a community needs a minimum of two playing surfaces for a full day for one grade (first match starting between 8:00 and 9:00 a.m., last match starting sometime between 3:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., depending on attendance at that meet). A community can also host a meet for one grade on three playing surfaces on the same Saturday. If a host has three, four or more playing surfaces, it can host meets for multiple grades on the same date.

Tarhouni, who teaches economics and finance at the University of Washington, returned to Libya a month ago after more than 35 years in exile to advise the opposition on economic matters.This is partly weird identity politics since I'm an academic, but I feel more confident in the nascent rebel government with this guy as Finance Minister rather than some local banker whom I'd be more likely to suspect of corruption.
The rebels' national council appointed another U. S. educated academic, Mahmoud Jibril, to head the interim administration.
As the top financial official for the rebels, Tarhouni will also oversee oil affairs. He said oil is not an immediate issue because the only significant yields are coming from the Sarir and Sidra fields, which amount to roughly 130,000 barrels a day, a relatively small total.
"Right now, there is no immediate crisis kind of need for cash. We have some liquidity that allows us to do the basic things," he said, such as paying salaries and immediate needs.
He added that many countries have agreed to provide credit backed by the Libyan sovereign fund, and the British government has agreed to give the rebels access to $1.1 billion that London did not send to Gadhafi.
Tarhouni, who began teaching at the UW in 1985, has opposed Gadhafi for 40 years, a news release from the university said.
James Jiambalvo, dean of the UW's Foster School of Business, said in the release that he and Tarhouni's colleagues are "proud to have one of our longtime faculty members playing a significant role in Libya's transitional government."

Ex Umbra
17th of Quartus, 1668
It is the 17th of Quartus in the year 1668 Anno Veritas, one of the first really warm spring days of the year. The quartet has just met in a small tavern in Charouse, the grand capital of Montaigne. They came to the famous city a few days ago, by boat up the Sineuse River to the south of Charouse.
It is the early moments of None, and the group has just enjoyed a late lunch, while discussing their plans for the coming weeks. Jean-Nicolas came back from a meeting with Duc Edgard Édouard Côme Desrosiers du Gévaudan just in time for the meal. The Duke has asked him to investigate some troubles in his home province of Gévaudan, in a remote, rural, part of Montaigne. He wanted to know why the Marquise and his guards haven't solved the troubles yet.
The Marquise, Eugène Gratien du Creux Dormir, resides in the small town of Creux Dormir, in the southeastern part of Montaigne, just where the Widow's Sea turn into the Frothing Bay, along the coast, about 150 miles south of Pourisse.

Centre for Ice and Climate > Outreach > ICAT PhD school 2018 > Course information
Course information
ICAT-Ice Core Analysis Techniques
The Ice Core Analysis Techniques (ICAT) PhD School offers participants a detailed introduction to the variety of climate and geophysical information that can be obtained from ice cores. The school aims to bring together leading ice core researchers and emerging young scientists; covering such diverse topics as ice core analysis, experimental techniques, integration of ice core data into models, statistics, mapping and non-destructive analysis techniques. We aim to provide a new forum for young ice core scientists to meet, learn and build a common experience for future collaborations.
The PhD school is available for early career researchers such as PhD's and postdocs. Application deadline is the June 1st. Travel support may be available based on excellence of applications.
The PhD school will focus on the many aspects of climate reconstructions available from ice cores.
The PhD school will cover dating methods applied to ice cores, such as annual layer counting, volcanic and other dating markers, greenhouse gases, cross-core and cross-archive dating, as well as the uncertainties associated with the different dating methods.
We will include discussions regarding transport and deposition processes, such as different wind patterns of the past, dry and wet deposition, re-deposition and sastrugi influence, firnification and movement within the ice, diffusion and influence of the ice matrix as well as crystal boundary effects.
We will discuss the multiple proxies determined in ice cores, measurement methods, accuracy and precision. State-of-the-art measurement techniques such as ICP-MS, CFA, IC, IRMS, Picarros as well as sampling and cleaning methods. Also nondestructive methods such as ECM, DEP and borehole logging will be explained as well as laser ablation techniques. The methods will be compared in terms of measurement accuracy, but also in term of depth resolution and of cause the number of different proxies will be discussed, such as reconstruction of source areas, source changes, temperature, greenhouse gases, volcanic eruptions, biosphere, etc.
We will discuss the different ways to retrieve ice cores, differences and benefits of different ice core sites, drilling techniques, replicate drilling, shallow drilling, rapid access and the potential for borehole logging techniques.
Finally we will introduce how one can work with the ice core data. How to deal with missing data, data with variable resolution, we will discuss what can actually be learned from correlations, and the importance of including uncertainties and variability in reconstructions.
The applicants will be expected to give a short presentation of their own research topics, and thus we will update each other on the most recent research within ice cores. Further the course will include laboratory visits at the Centre for Ice and Climate and excursions within the Copenhagen area.
Confirmed speakers:
Margit Schwokowski, Carlo Barbante, Johannes Freitag, Thomas Blunier, Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, Christine Hvidberg, Paul Vallelonga, Mai Winstrup, Sune Olander Rasmussen, Bo Vinther, Helle Astrid Kjær with more
Course content
The Ice Core Analysis Techniques (ICAT) PhD School is aiming to enhance the knowledge on the versatile information that can be obtained from ice cores. The school aims to bring together ice core analysts and experimentalists with scientific end users, such as climate modelers using ice core data. We aim to enhance the knowledge on the multiple analytical methods used to reconstruct past climate by means of ice cores.
Focus on the multiple aspects of climate reconstructions from ice cores as well as give the students hands on experience with ice core measurements. Topics include (depending on instructor availability):
-Ice core drilling techniques
-Ice core logging
-ICP-MS, IC, IRMS, Picarros, with more ice core measurement techniques
-Continuous flow analysis vs discrete measurements
-non-desctructive ice core methods, such as ECM , DEP, laser ablation, etc.
- firnification
-re-deposition and sastrugi influence
-Transport and deposition processes
-Reconstruction of paleo climate from ice cores
-Comparisons to other paleo archives
The PhD school is available for early career researchers such as PhD's and postdocs. Application deadline is the June 1st.
Some places are available for junior scientists. The course can accomodate 24 students. Prior detailed knowledge/background in ice cores is not a prerequisite and we strongly support applicants from a modelling background working with ice cores to also apply.
The ICAT PhD school is funded by the University of Copenhagen (UCPH-Science).
The European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica has offered travel support for a limited number of students from EPICA partner countries.

Ideals One Can't Practice
Tibor R. Machan
One very troublesome influence of the philosophy of Plato, one of three
very influential ancient Greek philosophers, is the popularity of
idealism. Of course, "idealism" is used to mean different things but his
version was widely interpreted as meaning: an impossibly perfect version
of something. So an ideal apple, for example, simply cannot exist in the
actual world, nor an ideal political system. (Less extreme versions of
idealism ask not for some kind of impossible dream but the best of what is
The bad influence of this version of Plato's idealism is evident in how
people so often depict what good people would be like, especially in
fiction. It is ironic--major Hollywood studios or New York publishing
houses give us stories in which the heroes, for example, routinely demean
making money and profit, only to earn big bucks from the sale of these
movies and books.
I was a fan of Rockford Files, the long running show staring James Garner
as a PI who lived in a trailer, parked near the Pacific shores by Los
Angeles. There were some pretty nifty aspects of this show but one always
irritated me: Rockford always made a point of losing money on his cases.
His clients could rarely pay him and he could rarely pay his associates,
including his attorney. And this was presented on the show as a virtuous
trait of the protagonist. At the same time, of course, the show itself was
making gobs of money for all those involved in its production, certainly
not excluding its star, James Garner.
William Lashner is a best selling author of legal thrillers and his
attorney is another of these heroes who keeps losing money hand over fist.
That's supposed be a part of what makes him heroic, while, of course, if
his books didn't bring in big bucks for HarperCollins Publishers, they
would not be published, at least not for long.
Then there are all those annoying actors, actresses, pop signers,
musicians, and other show folk who keep telling their TV talk show hosts
and fans everywhere how little they care about money, all the while raking
in tons of it from their gigs and letting their staff worry about
negotiating their percentages and salaries. How they get away with
pretending not to care about money while actually caring about it via
their highly paid delegates without being called on this beats me.
But, of course, these are just the more mundane versions of the bad
influence of reckless idealism. The notion that we must all strive to
achieve the impossible dream--in morality, politics, foreign affairs,
fitness training, and the rest--is far more serious and, indeed, quite
destructive. Out of this attitude, which places on us all demands that
cannot in principle be satisfied, arises a widespread attitude of cynicism
and defeatism for many people. Why bother trying if the chances of success
are hopeless?
Some answer this by saying that it is useful to have such impossible
goals because then people will keep on trying to do better and better.
Yes, if they are stupid. But if they have any brains at all, they will
abandon the task of doing well since they will quickly realize that it is
an impossible one. Unfortunately they usually haven't the time to figure
out that this entire scheme is a misguided one from the get go. So then
they will turn to pragmatism, the idea that all principles are useless.
Plato appears to have gotten the notion of the impossible ideal from his
admiration of geometry. In that discipline we do have notions of the
perfect circle, square, triangle, or straight line that simply cannot be
achieved in actual practice. They are mere models, kind of like those
beautiful people on the covers of Vogue or GQ. No one expects any actual
circles or squares to be perfect like those formally defined in geometry.
Unfortunately, even the models on the covers of these magazines can do
some harm by creating persistent frustration for people everywhere as they
strive but cannot ever achieve the looks depicted there.
If one could live a purely non-profit life, perhaps it would be a good
thing, although I doubt it--there is a good chance that this would lure us
into thinking that neither effort, nor, especially, budgeting, is required
for living successfully. But as the world actually is, these images are
highly misleading. Sadly, many people take them seriously, which is one
reason ordinary profit-seeking business people get such a bad press while
non-profits are admired.
Here it may be useful, ironically, to learn a lesson from Plato. He also
taught that the arts are a bad guide to truth. Maybe if we remembered
this, we would stop demanding of human beings that they live up to the
expectations projected via impossible dreams.

Jimmy Lee Lindsey Jr., a prolific songwriter who, under the stage name Jay Reatard, was a force in the worlds of punk and garage rock, was found dead in his home in Memphis early on Wednesday. He was 29.
The Commercial Appeal of Memphis reported that a roommate had found him in bed, and the police have opened an investigation into his death. A spokeswoman for the Shelby County medical examiner in Tennessee said an autopsy had been performed but that a cause of death had not been determined.
With a discography of 22 albums and more singles than even he could keep accurate count of, Mr. Lindsey was a creative tornado. And while his aesthetic was deliberately rough — he favored corrosive blasts of guitar and simple smacks on the drums, usually recorded by Mr. Lindsey alone with the most minimal equipment — his facility with sweet melodies and his concise, economical songwriting style earned him wide respect among critics and fans.
Mr. Lindsey was born in Lilbourn, Mo., and moved with his family to Memphis when he was 8; his precociousness as a teenage noisemaker got the Lindseys ejected from more than one address. "We'd stay three to six months in a place, and they'd make us move 'cause he wouldn't turn that volume down," his father, Jimmy Lindsey, said. "They even said, 'Don't worry about the lease, just go.' "
With help from members of the Oblivians, a proudly sloppy veteran Memphis garage-rock band, Mr. Lindsey started his recording career at 15 and released music with numerous bands, including the Reatards, the Lost Sounds, the Bad Times and the Final Solutions. By the mid-2000s he had established a reputation in the rock underground for his songwriting skill and devotion to do-it-yourself production methods, as well as for a sometimes belligerent stage manner.
Mr. Lindsey began to reach a wider audience in 2006 with his first solo album, "Blood Visions" (Fat Possum), and in recent years he continued to produce music at a rapid pace. "Few indie-rockers have ever been on a roll like this," Spin magazine said in a review of his latest album, "Watch Me Fall," released in August on Matador Records, a trend-setting independent label in New York.Continue reading the main story
He is survived by his mother, Devonna May; his father, Jimmy Lindsey; and three sisters, Leslie Lindsey, Stephanie Duncan and Gara May.
Mr. Lindsey's productivity was a source of as much admiration as curiosity in the music press, and he was often asked to explain his compulsion to create so much music so quickly.
"I'm just trying to get the idea out before the inspiration is gone," he said. "Everything I do is motivated by the fear of running out of time."Continue reading the main story

Depends upon local law and your position. In CA by state law non-compete clauses below the executive level is pretty much irrelevant. My current employer basically says if you leave to work for a client they'll hate you forever, that's about all they can do in CA. You may wish to contact a local labor lawyer to learn about your alternatives.It also depends upon your ability to get references from a superior who BTW doesn't currently have to be with the company. When does the 1 year end? Is the new company willing to wait? How many companies are there in your field in your local area? How well intertwined are the people in your area and in your industry, i.e. will word get around?Personally, I think these are the key points:From a career perspective I should not, from a life perspective I should. the job would be less challenging than my current one and I would inevitably get sucked in to internal politics, which I hate.How important is it to you to not hate going to work?

The History Channel shows television programs with a historic focus. Programs include documentaries, reality shows and historical fiction shows.
The History Channel also airs movies with historic themes, miniseries, scripted events and television specials.
As of 2015, popular programs on The History Channel include "Vikings," "Swamp People," "The Bible," "Hatfields & McCoys," "Appalachian Outlaws," "Pawn Stars" and "American Pickers." Popular programs on the channels H2 channel include "Ancient Aliens," "America Unearthed," "Haunted History," "Rise of the Machines" and "Modern Marvels."
Not all of The History Channel's programming is strictly factual. The channel's first scripted fictional series, "Vikings," was a hit, which resulted in other fictional programming based on historic themes.
Even some documentary-style programming may not be purely factual. The History Channel received a lot of criticism due to its "Ancient Aliens" program. The show presented the idea that ancient historic events included alien involvement as fact, which caused archaeologists and scientists to denounce the network for chasing viewers over presenting historic facts.
The History Channel website includes a complete list of current programs. Viewers can find programming schedules, news and information for their favorite History Channel shows. They can also find video clips, games, history-related news and articles, audio clips, live broadcasts and other interactive features.
