Nutella!, Nutella! ... bring me my Nutella!
Hans declares that the sword is not as powerful as his devotion to William - he breaks down the door.
Hans runs up the spiral staircase to resue his love, carrying the fishsword which is still lifeless
This vile liquid destroys the language we form together. To understand the birds one must give up love and coherence and grammar.
Hans, fueled with supernatural fervour, ascends bravely. He reaches the final door, but it is made of steel...
Birds may fly so high,I wish the sky Will cry&wipe my tears For she's no more here by my side,I long to break her last goodbye
the woman with no name sits in the lab and begins to make a potion. As the chemicals combine they knock her to the ground.
We now see the inner thoughts of the woman with no name. As she lies unconscious on the floor.
Yo! roars Hans. 1000 tweets soar. Fishsword reverberates - spills out white fire. Door shatters and reality shifts. Umberworld!
Birds may fly so high,I wish the sky Will cry&wipe my tears For she's no more here by my side,I long to break her last goodbye
Hans in Umberworld - where birds are the dominant species and man is ornamental... He staggers...
Hearing William's lament within his steel prison, Hans sinks to his knees. But wait...a voice in the darkness (Helga?)
a breeze whips then whirls, carrying both birds & squirrels, whispering to Will "I have the answer & it is blowing in the wind"
as the woman w/no name sits in her laboratory reeling in shame for her potion, powerless does remain ~ here comes the wind again.
The wind to Will: "be not a nit-twit, but twitter with wit for then thy words will ride on the wind & lift the wings of tweeters.
tweeters join the swirl, sending the wind to the girl; w/gentle wings they flutter by, wiping the tears and ending the cry; sigh.
A cry! And then another! Stillness.
Silence is broken. You can clearly hear a tweet. Obviously this is not a bird!
And all of a sudden those wishful thoughts gained form,and turned into a huge and solid cloud.The power of many tweeting the same
Woman-with-no-name (or: Helga; or...) works on her potion. And starts thinking about ... herself:
A drop, a drop, a pinch of some this / Then some more stirring / And a spoon full of mist
A moment of stillness before the dawn, reflect and contemplate, then celebrate and dance the dawning of another day.
The potion will be / William's salvation / ... / And tears for me.
Is my heart not there? / In my chest alone? / Is my life not worth it? / The touch of his care? /
Am I to be / ... / For ever just me?
Shall I give voice to the aves above? / Or speak to me? About my own true love? /
Oh, Hans forgive! / Oh, Hans, please see! / I can either save William / ... / Or I can save me.
ALS, your time has come and gone. The cure is your undoing. Now we live & you die!
Ginger cat circles the tower looking for a way to help William escape. Suddenly, he is distracted as a rabbit runs past him.
Chorus: "kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit"
The rabbit: "My life is worth more than a passing fancy, I do not wish to be death's fiancee." The cat laughs.
I wish there was a potionTHAT shakes Helgas emotionAND get her by this towerAND forget all the wabbit did to her morals Downunder
I SEEM to BE the prisoner BUT Helgas secret quest last year, LEFT us all in unsolved trouble, Wabbit skin hides true evil...
YEEEAAAAAAARGH EEEEeeeeeeee! (Sung to the tune of Ring of Nibelung by Wagner)
The cats – ceiling & basement – speak to William in his dreams:C-Cat: Don't you see? / You had a choice!
B-Cat: Don't you see? / You had a voice! - Both: Killing that bird has been your demise!
Both (cont.) Your life is over / over and gone. The birds have tweeted. It's all in their song!
Stop your heart's beating / Stop your fight / There is no more meaning / Your end is in sight.
C-Cat: Look how he lies in that nest of despair... / Look how he still wishes... -- B-Cat: Not to lie there.
Both (fading away as William awakes): And yet...
The sweet girl wept silently, as the sheer power of the dumpsterfire engulfed not just he possessions, but her spirit as well
Wliiam: Helga, the failed Fish Sword can only be saved by the poison of the fish blow. The sack of poison from your Fugu.
William: Helga, the failed Fish Sword can only be saved by the poison of the fish blow. The sack of poison from your Fugu.
The cats appear to William. "Hans will arrive soon. You must seek out the Two Jacks. They will lead you to the 'Balm of Bray'"
William: Helga, the failed Fish Sword can only be replaced by the poison of the Fish Blow. The sack of poison from your Fugu.
In the nearby Aerie, Corbin the raven addresses the gathered corvidae: "The flock protecting Sweet William has been killed, ..."
".. and we must find a way to go and protect him from the haunts in the tower, and not be killed ourselves, as that would .."
".. do no good. Now, Rook Chorniy, please advise us."
In the darkness the birds flew away. Several bats flew in. The bats flew in. The cat spied the bats, but the bats flew high.
"No one knows the agony"
"What's in a name? That which we call a bird by any other name would sound as tweet."
Ah, tweet sorrow. Ah tweet life of mine."
Cat: The fishsword will not speak to bird / until the cry of seagull's heard
Cat: To stormy cove you must repair / and seek the stormy petrel's lair
Hans: Oh Lord! These steep and slickery stones must be a way to Williams. I want to be a bird. Flying singing to the top.
"But, no", she decides, "one deviation does not a disaster make. My potion shall put this aright."
Far away the sound of bells.
We must prepare with the raven's dance of doom. (cue pantomime!)
This vile potion and strange dance marry must to make these mortal chains return to dust
No, I don't think I will kiss you - that's what's wrong with you. You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how.
For the Cat hath morlocked thy name, and revenge must follow
audienceman gets up jumps on stage "blow this off fair maiden for a frappacinco, and leave these two, to find loves small window"
and thy sword has grown to the size of a Halibut
the Cat "thows kingdom has become a dumpster fire, for all curses have come to fruition"
and Helgas desire has grown to the size of a Halibut, to be quenched only by thee found by computer love
Helga sings "I cannot cheat my heart, for the one i desire, back to your seat serander"
Cat walks over to serander "I can make fulfill loves long desire, to kill both hans william you shall meet this desire"
Sometimes you just have to burn all your bridges and just swim across the river.
Cat walks over to serander "I can make and fulfill loves long desire, to kill both hans and william you shall meet this desire"
would say "Sometimes you just have to burn all your bridges and just swim across the river" as one bird carried a match.
"Life or death?" Who asked this question. A ghost? A stranger behind these bushes?
when they came back he had left like the wind blowing out the last candle.
the sun hides behind clouds/afraid of shining on shadows/that's where i'll hide my longings and sorrows/our secret darkness
No one notices the Wabbit, sneaking into to Helgas lab, Pouring black liquid into the boiling potions uncared cup...
Will this dark unsacred actWILL change THEpotions good effect?Once THEbirds DOtaste their share..HANs sing SOLO:Wish I wereTHERE!
song (deriv) Iris: "Twitter and be fey, Let us seize the day Here we are let's dance, We must take a chance in the tweet ballet."
"Twitter and be fey, We must seize the day; Here we are in London town, Girl and boys and birds around, in such a tiny plot."
The desert has no master and that's like life without the laughter here I go watch as I fade away!!!
"Twitter and be gay, We have parts to play: We are come from cyberspace, To chill on Covent Garden's place O isn't it so droll."
the desert has no master and thats like life without the laughter here I go watch as I fade away
Williams looks at the sun setting far from his tower – a distant jot of orange, tiny as a needle's pin. - Content with his fate:
When last I saw his face / The universe was me / When last he spoke my name / I was all I was to ever be /
Now I am just a speck of light / only a spark in time / Now it's a mere piece of dust / this empty life of mine /
A bringer of death / betraying my one true love / I have to pay the price / And be with Him above /
Oh... let me let go of me / Please... life! / Let me be / Let me be with angels now.
William steps up to the edge of the tower, closes his eyes, prepares to jump...
Up to no good: B-Cat: Boooooored! :( / Damn it! / I is dead, that's why! / No mice to bite! No hunt to ride! /
Damn it! / Damn it! / Damn it! / I is dead, that's I! / Curiousity kills a cat / Dead! / Ey! That's no lie! Look at me...
I is dead! Oh, my, oh my! / And yet / livin' or dead / fun can still be had / And I don't mind. / Cause, I is dead. That's why!
C-Cat: Cheer up! Our prey still lies within our claws. We will not let his struggling pause.
William closes his eyes, steps into the air, and beings to fall...
... and is transformed into a bird!
C-Cat & B-Cat: You cannot escape us / Our power is too great / Death is too easy / See your new fate!
(Bird William doesn't yet know how to use his new wings, and flutters confusedly before landing on the ground.)
(But he is now noticed by Ginger Cat!)
Hans (from a tower window): Fly, dear William! Fly to me! Otherwise his prey you'll be!
William: All I wish to do is to soar in the sky, to stretch my new wings, rise up and fly!
And William was bold and lived with no fear or regret, as seen above, story checks out.
Cat: Can I assist you, William? Or should this opera be retired?
(Earlier...) Hans, in the forest, lays down the (apparently useless) sword, looks around him. Wonders... Sings...:
When I die / will I / become nothing at all? / When I die / what will I be? / Will I become / next a fly / when I die? /
Or a tall tree? / What will I be? /Could I be / a butterfly / When I die? / When I die / what will become of me? /
What will become of me.../ When I die / will I be / never more? / Will I be gone? / A soul forelorn? / Am I just ... me?
Where will I be?!! / Are we one / or are we not? / What's our lot? / Why can't I see? / Oh, why can't I see? ...
Suddenly, the sword 'awakens' and:
Yes! Hans! Why not indeed!? / Oh, my Hans, you know it all! / Every little bit! /
You're just too dumb / to connect the dots / you stupid, foolish git! / You are me. / And I was you. / And all of us is us. /
And William's dead / if you don't move it now / your freckin', blumin' ass!
Why look to the heavens when they are blind to our plight?
I never loved her as a person. I just loved her for her looks. It is a sad realization that all men must come to.
a flash from the sword streaks towards William and he is surrounded by light.
William soars into the air, his wings strong and sure. He flies towards Hans, his arms outstretched
As they fall, we will rise, but why? Just for nothing?
"Once again, you stole from us
The cats burts into a duet as William rises, the melody mimicking William`s flight as they lament the loss of their prey
Helga realises that boys and birds are just a distraction in the life of a serious biochemist. She vows to become a nun.
"In nunneries, I have found / The provision of laboratories / Is superior to universities / I will leave these boys to play ..."
"... with swords / And birds and bees / Squirrels and cats / For I have serious business to enact."

Do you think of your pet as a part of the family? They need just as much care and adoration as you would give a child, right? I know our National Sales Rep, Whitney, would agree with this statement. I have seen her with her sweet lil' pup, Tootsie, and she's like her four-legged daughter. So of course she is going to take extra care of her lil' lady!
What would be a better present for miss Tootsie this Christmas than an OMI pet bed?
Just as synthetic materials outgas in our own beds, these same materials can be hazardous to our pets. Research has found that aromatic oils in red cedar can be a direct cause of respiratory or allergic reactions in small animals. With an added cover made with synthetics and chemical dyes, your poor lil' guys may not be sleeping as soundly as you might think.
Our organic pet beds are filled with 100% certified organic cotton and organically grown buckwheat hulls sewn inside separate chambers. The separate chamber design allows pets to customize their bed to their own special shape, and ensures years of comfort. The smaller round bed, great for cats or very small dogs, is constructed with an outer ring of 100% natural rubber.
Along with our pet beds, we make a removable washable cover made from heavy-duty colorgrown organic cotton canvas in an attractive sage green color. (Colorgrown cotton is cotton that grows in colors naturally, without bleaches or dyes.)
OMI Pet Beds are available in three sizes:
Small/Round: For pets under 20 lbs. – 20″ diameter – Wt. 7 lbs.
Medium: For pets up to 40 lbs. – 28″ x 32″ – Wt. 14 lbs.
Large: For pets up to 120 lbs. – 36″ x 48″ – Wt. 28 lbs.

Newtown High School of the Performing Arts
Feathers, scales and skin is essentially a work devoted to the 'animal' – exploring representational aspects of life in the water, on land and in the sky. The artmaking process has been influenced by Rosalie Gascoigne. Her assemblages of found materials inspired me to primarily utilise old skateboards in a deliberately visceral depiction of pattern and surface, interwoven with symbolism of youth culture, adaptive re-use, and image-making. The diversity of colour and arrangement within my work ambiguously mimic the beauty and complexity of natural forms – the plumage of birds, scales of fish and texture of skin.

Photo of the Day: UPN Posters
San Francisco Slice contributor David Kover spotted these posters for Una Pizza Napoletana in the Mission recently and noted that they have been popping up around town. I asked him what he thought it was all about and his response was, "It's telling that there's no pizza in the actual poster. Shows just how clearly the mystique of the place is linked to Mangieri himself." The posters certainly have a high art cast to them, like a frame that would appear in a Peter Greenaway film (think The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover). Maybe the message is, as Kover pointed out, not too far from the summation Carey Jones made about UPN in her review of the place: "The message isn't subtle. This is pizza as performance."
Is Mangieri just reminding the citizens of San Francisco that there is pizza greatness happening in their city, or is there something more to these mystery posters?

Make and colour
Make an Adinkra pattern
Asante people of Ghana in West Africa make a cloth called adinkra. This involves hand printing patterns onto cloth.
- Drag one of the adinkra symbols onto any of the numbered grid squares to build your pattern.
- Use the randomise option to generate a design for you.
- Click one of the coloured squares to change the background colour.
When you are happy with you design, why not use the print option to save your work?

Evaluating the Safety and Immune Response to an HIV Vaccine Boost Following the Administration of Two HIV Vaccines, in HIV-Uninfected, Healthy Adults (Study Extension to HVTN 073/SAAVI 102)
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01423825

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Biological: Sub C gp140 Vaccine Biological: MF59C.1 Adjuvant Other: Sodium chloride
|Phase 1
The HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study is evaluating the safety of two experimental HIV vaccines—SAAVI DNA-C2 and SAAVI MVA-C—given sequentially as a prime-boost regimen in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults. This is an extension of that study and will enroll people who participated in the HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study. Previous studies have shown that a protein vaccine boost to an HIV vaccine may improve antibody responses. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to an HIV envelope protein vaccine—the Sub C gp140 vaccine with MF59 adjuvant—in healthy, HIV-uninfected adults who have previously participated in the HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study. Study researchers will explore whether the addition of a protein boost vaccine to the SAAVI DNA-C2 and SAAVI MVA-C vaccine regimen improves antibody response.
This study will enroll people who participated in the HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study,regardless of whether they received vaccine or placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Sub C gp140 vaccine with MF59 adjuvant or a placebo injection during study visits at baseline and Month 3. At the baseline and Month 3 visits, participants will undergo a physical examination, HIV testing and counseling, pregnancy testing for female participants, interviews and questionnaires, risk reduction counseling, and blood collection (at the baseline visit only). They will then receive their assigned vaccine or placebo as one injection in their upper arm. Participants will remain in the clinic for 30 minutes after receiving the vaccination for observation and monitoring. For 3 days after the vaccination, participants will record any side effects in a symptom log and make contact daily with the study site staff.
Additional study visits will occur at Weeks 1 and 2, 1 and 2 weeks after the Month 3 visit, and Months 6 and 9. At these visits, select baseline study procedures will occur. At Month 15, study staff will contact participants for follow-up health monitoring. Participants will then complete any annual health contacts for the original HVTN 073/SAAVI 102 study.

Amazon is trying to lure Microsoft customers away from its cloud, Azure.
Today Amazon announced a new service that will let companies use Microsoft's database and its Web programming platform, ASP.NET, on Amazon's cloud.
Customers who use those technologies are natural for Microsoft's cloud.
Many people think that Amazon and Azure are competing in different parts of the cloud market. Amazon made its name with Infrastructure as a Service. You can fire up Windows servers on its cloud but you have to manage them.
With Azure, you don't do that. You just bring the applications themselves. But you are limited to applications that work on Microsoft's technology (plus a few popular open source software development tools). That's known as Platform as a Service (Paas).
However Amazon has Elastic Beanstalk, a PaaS that competes directly with Azure.
AND there's been talk that Microsoft is going to do more IaaS stuff and even (gasp!) make Linux available on Azure. That would put it head-to-head with Amazon.
So the two are duking it out. Microsoft has stolen some great ideas from Amazon. Shortly after Amazon announced its search service, Microsoft offered a different kind of search service for Azure based on Bing. Amazon and Microsoft have been having a price war lately, too.

The sendfile filter method performs a function similar to the writev filter method, but it sends a file directly instead of first copying the contents of the file into a buffer. You do not have to implement the sendfile filter method. If a filter implements the write filter method but not the sendfile filter method, the server will use the write method instead of the sendfile method. A filter should not implement the sendfile method unless it also implements the write method.
Under some circumstances, the server might run slightly faster when filters that implement the write filter method also implement the sendfile filter method.
For more information, see sendfile() Function in Chapter 6, NSAPI Function and Macro Reference

Despite living in downtown Charleston, West Virginia, Jody and Scott MacMillian support their healthy, organic lifestyle by keeping several chickens in their backyard for fresh eggs.
When the Elk River was contaminated with 4-methylcyclohexane methanol (MCHM) earlier this month, Scott immediately shut off the water to the house and waited until the water company gave the all-clear before flushing his pipes.
"It was a mess," he said. "I followed the water company's instructions to the letter, but running the hot water made the whole house stink like licorice."
MCHM, a colorless oil that smells like licorice, is dangerous if ingested, comes in contact with skin, or if it is inhaled. Consequently, the couple opened windows and doors to air out their home, but they say the smell never really went away. Thus they continued using bottled water for themselves and Jody's son and rainwater for their chickens.
A few days after we'd been in Charleston, the couple called their friend Paul Brown, president of the local activist group Keepers of the Mountains, about what they feared was a spill-related problem.
"Our eggs are blue and when we cracked one open, it smelled like licorice," Scott said over the phone to Brown late Tuesday afternoon as he and I drove in the car.
Brown reported back to me several days later after visiting the couple and helping to deliver the eggs to a testing agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"The eggs definitely have a blue tint," Brown said by phone, "but we didn't crack any open because the lab wanted all the samples they could get."
The couple had told Brown that, in addition to the tinted eggs, their chickens now have blue excrement and are fouling their roost with it for the first time. The chickens are also supposedly pecking each other like never before.
While there's no proof of contamination yet, we can confirm that the eggs looked weird to Andrew Whelton, an assistant professor of environmental engineering at the University of Southern Alabama who is part of a team testing water in the area.
"They were certainly odd looking," Whelton said over the phone Tuesday afternoon. "They're not all blue, but it's there in splotches. I've never seen anything like it."
We will follow up this story with the lab results when they become available.

Abbot Klassen's presentation, "In the Beginning: Re-Imagining Creation and the Fall," will rethink the doctrine of original sin in light of the evolutionary account of creation. Since the time of Saint Augustine, Catholic teaching on the consequences of original sin has been firmly grounded in the biblical account of the fall in Genesis chapter 3 and Saint Paul's Christological account in Romans chapter 5. What happens to our understanding and appreciation of these primal Christian texts if we take the evolutionary account of creation seriously? This unique presentation will attempt to lay down the parameters of a new theological and spiritual synthesis.
After earning a doctorate in bio-organic chemistry from Catholic University of America, Abbot Klassen taught organic chemistry and other courses at St. John's University from 1983 to 2000, after which he was elected abbot of Saint John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minn. He leads a community of 150 Benedictine monks who sponsor and work at St. John's University, St. John's Preparatory School, and Liturgical Press, as well as parishes, hospital and retirement centers, mostly in Minnesota and in a monastic community in Fujimi, Japan. He made first profession as a monk in 1972 and was ordained a priest in 1977.
Mount Mercy University's annual Aquinas Lecture was established in 1959 by the Sisters of Mercy who taught in the Mount Mercy Philosophy-Theology Division. For more than 50 years, the Aquinas Lecture has brought philosophers and theologians to campus to speak on topics such as violence, order, love, justice, and the Church in contemporary society. The lecture is named after Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), an Italian priest who many view as Catholicism's greatest theologian and philosopher.

The Job Of Home Improvement
For most people,home is quite important.After owning a home ,we must pay atteention to the home improvement,which makes our home clean, comfortable, convenient and perfect. Maybe,in your mind it is a easy thing. But when you have read this article, you may have a new review.
The first thing you must know is that you should inspect your home periodically. If you can not find minor problems before they become serious enough to cause damage, you must hire people to maintain it which takes you o lot of money. Once you want repair by yourself, you can reffer to sites on the web suggesting tips about effective home repair improvement.
When you decide to hire someone for the home repair improvement work, make sure that the person under consideration is a competent expert in the trade. Depending upon the scope and size of the home repair improvement project you have, select a general contractor or a specialist.
The next thing must be regarded is payment options in the home repair improvement work, ake sure that you have an idea about the limit of down payment. Try to make payments during the project contingent upon completion of a defined amount of work. You should mot pay the final payment or sign an affidavit of final release ntil you are satisfied with the work .This can give you a perfect results.
It is necessary to make a written contract signed by both the parties before starting the home repair improvement work. Make sure that every term and condition is agreed upon and is free of any loop holes. When the work is over,you must check every detail and everything. If there is something wrong ,you have right to ask them do it again until you satisfy with it.. After that ,you can pay the final payment.
After the home repair improvement work, if you have any difference of opinion, you can solve it by speaking with the contractor directly. Above all, during the home repair improvement work,you must be patient, careful with it, and listen to what experts say.

Lake Bistineau is currently 6.25 feet below pool stage. All 12 gates on the control structure are open at this time, and the water level is decreasing by 2 inches each day. The target depth of the drawdown is 7 feet below pool stage. There are approximately 600 acres of giant salvinia on the upper portion of the lake that remains unstranded. That number should be reduced within the next few weeks as the target drawdown level is reached and spray efforts continue.
Despite the fact that the water level is dropping much slower than anticipated, salvinia plants are stranding out and drying. Spraying continues on the lake, and our efforts are concentrated on areas that are unlikely to dry out. Once the lake reaches the target drawdown level, we will determine if spray contractors are needed.
For those who have attended the private spray training course, please use this time to treat along your shoreline or boat houses where small pockets of water may remain that are holding salvinia. These areas also include access canals that may not dry up as well. LDWF crews will be using ATV/UTV spray rigs to spray the shorelines, but every little bit of assistance we get is greatly appreciated.
There is high volume of angler activity on the lake. Remember that Lake Bistineau has a tremendous amount of underwater hazards, so please navigate the lake with extreme caution during drawdown conditions. We are in the process of marking channels with signage provided by the Bistineau Task Force members from Bossier, Webster and Bienville parishes. The next Bistineau Task meeting will be in early October and is open to the public.

I'm trying to come up with healthy meals that I can make ahead of time so that we different options on activity nights. I love a nice family sit down meal, but some nights it just isn't possible. So I am trying to figure out lots of meals that we can either pack up and go or eat quickly when we get home later than usual.
Jim and I recently started playing squash at our gym and I am kind of obsessed. My plan is to play every Thursday night and bring dinner to eat out by the pool afterwards (in order to get the kids to happily agree to our new plan.) We also have gymnastics on Tuesdays which makes for a late dinner. I found myself eating some strange meals (like eggs and canned collard greens) on a few nights that I wasn't prepared, so I decided to start a list of options for these types of evenings.
Enter the Pineapple Chicken Salad.
I was surprised how much everyone liked these. My oldest daughter, Ella particularly loved them and I think she was even surprised how much. The first night we had them I served them in warmed whole wheat pitas and the second night we had them in wraps. Both were good, but I particularly liked the pitas.
The great thing about these is that you get everything in one shot. Lean Protein – check. Complex Carbohydrates – check. Fruits and Veggies – check. Yumminess – double check. The creaminess comes from a combo of greek yogurt and light mayo and there are some sliced almonds for that nutty crunch that I just love in chicken salad.
If I was going to take these to the pool I would probably stuff the pitas ahead of time and wrap them up in some foil for everyone. Throw some grapes or carrots in a plastic container and we can call it a meal.
PS….I am starting a new tag for Busy Night Meals. I would also love to hear any suggestions for meals for busy nights. I need to be able to make everything ahead of time and ideally it should be portable or easy to reheat.

Ulysses Completes First Full Orbit Around the Sun
After a seven-and-a-half-year flight covering 3.8 billion kilometers (2.4 billion miles), Ulysses -- the only spacecraft ever to explore the Sun's polar regions -- has completed its first full orbit.
Having passed under and over the Sun's poles, Ulysses has returned to the region of space occupied by Jupiter, which is more than five times the distance of the Earth from the Sun. Ulysses flew past Jupiter in February 1992 and used that giant planet's gravity to achieve the spacecraft's current orbit. The spacecraft is now on the opposite side of the Sun from Jupiter and poised to return to the Sun's poles during the peak of solar activity.
"Before the Ulysses mission, very little was known about the regions above and below the solar equator because our solar observations were restricted," said Dr. Edward J. Smith, project scientist of the joint NASA-European Space Agency mission. "We knew that the Sun and solar system were enveloped in a huge, tenuous cloud of gas and dust, known as the heliosphere, but we did not know how this vast space around the solar system was structured."
Like its mythological namesake, Ulysses, launched in 1990, ventured into unknown territory to conduct the first ever investigation of this huge magnetic bubble shielding the solar system from interstellar space. When the spacecraft arrived, the Sun was in the quiet phase of its 11-year solar cycle, with a relatively low amount of activity. In this phase, circumstances were ideal for revealing the underlying structure of the Sun's atmosphere and the solar wind in their simplest form. Improved knowledge of these solar dynamics helps scientists better understand the origin of such events as auroras and magnetic storms in Earth's atmosphere.
Ulysses, which is powered by a radioisotope thermoelectric generator because of the distance it needs to travel from the Sun during the most distant phase of its orbit, carries nine instruments that have gathered data continuously since launch. Some instruments detect the outward-blowing solar wind and its magnetic field, which create the heliosphere. Others record cosmic rays coming in from the galaxy, which are strongly influenced by the solar wind. Ulysses picks up natural radio signals emitted by the Sun, the planets and the heliosphere itself. Innovative techniques can detect foreign atoms and dust particles entering this protective magnetic balloon.
During the first orbit, Ulysses data revealed that the gas consists principally of energetic atoms from which one or more electrons have been removed to form ions. These ions become positively charged when they lose their electrons. In addition, three classes of charged particles have been identified on the basis of their energy and place of origin.
"At the lowest energy, but dominant in number, are the particles that originate on the Sun and continuously stream outward, forming the solar wind," Smith said. "More energetic but less numerous particles originate beyond the orbit of Earth. These accelerated particles occur in bursts and are found near 'weather fronts,' which develop several times a month. At the highest energies, and even lower in number, are the cosmic rays, which originate outside the solar system in the Milky Way galaxy."
Ulysses scientists found that the space between the Sun's equator and poles can be divided into distinct regions, just as the Earth can be divided into tropical, temperate and arctic zones.
The speed of the solar wind is divided into two zones, one extending from the equator to about 30 degrees latitude. The typical wind flow in the equatorial region consists of particles traveling at variable rates, alternating between speeds of 350 kilometers to 400 kilometers per second (nearly 1 million miles per hour). Above this zone, extending all the way to the highest latitude, is fast wind traveling at double the speed -- about 750 kilometers per second (about 2 million miles per hour) -- and at a relatively steady flow. These winds come from coronal holes in the Sun, which are close to the poles and fairly large when the Sun is in a quiescent state. The speeds in the high latitude zones north and south are nearly equal, despite their separation by slow wind around the equator.
"This division of the wind into three zones -- north, equatorial and south -- is also seen in the magnetic field measurements," Smith said. "In the fast, high-latitude wind, large amplitude waves are continuously present, traveling outward from the Sun. These unusually large, strong waves are similar to waves moving along a taut rope. They move outward along a large scale solar magnetic field that is stretched outward into space by the solar wind."
Energetic particle bursts also divide space into two regions. The bursts occur from the equator to between 40 and 70 degrees latitude, after which they disappear. Particles in this region of fast wind surprised scientists, who then had to develop new models of the Sun's global magnetic field. Since the particles are guided along the large-scale field, these field lines appear to be transported from high to low latitude through the Sun's equatorial region.
Unlike the particle bursts, galactic cosmic rays occupy a single zone stretching from the equator to the poles, without a significant increase in number. Magnetic field observations made by Ulysses explain this relatively uniform distribution, Smith said. "Although the cosmic rays might have easier access to the poles by following the converging magnetic lines of force, the outward-traveling waves in the fast wind oppose their entry and compensate for this potential increase."
As Ulysses begins its second solar cycle, the Sun is now becoming increasingly active, with more sunspot activity and solar eruptions leading to the next peak around 2000. Conditions will be dramatically different when the spacecraft reaches the polar regions again at the turn of the century. In this stormy phase, Ulysses, along with an international fleet of Sun explorers -- including NASA's Advanced Composition Explorer, Wind spacecraft and joint missions such as Polar and SOHO -- will allow scientists to better understand the connections between activities on the Sun and their potential for impacting atmospheric conditions on Earth.
Ulysses is managed jointly by NASA and the European Space Agency to study the regions above and below the Sun's poles. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory manages the U.S. portion of the mission for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, DC. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA.

NFA stuns No. 1 Staples 30-28 to reach Class LL state final
West Haven – Marcus Outlow converted a key fourth-and-one call from the Staples 46 with 1 minute, 23 seconds remaining and fifth-seeded Norwich Free Academy ran out the clock to score a stunning 30-28 victory over the top-seeded Wreckers on their Class LL state playoff semifinal game on Sunday afternoon at Ken Strong Stadium.
Staples (10-1) pulled within 30-28 on quarterback Joe Massie's 16-yard touchdown pass to James Frusciante with 3:15 seconds remaining, but a subsequent NFA punt hit the leg of a Staples player, the Wildcats (12-0) recovered, and proceeded to run out the clock.
NFA will play defending champion Xavier, a 30-13 winner of Glastonbury in Sunday's other semifinal, in the championship game either Friday or Saturday at Rentschler Field in East Hartford.
NFA had taken a 30-21 lead on a safety in the third quarter and Khaleed Exum-Strong's 2-yard touchdown run with 9:57 remaining in the game.
The game was tied 21-21 at halftime thanks to a six-yard TD run by Massie with 1:47 left in the first half.
Joey Paparelli's 38-yard touchdown pass to Ryer Caruso had given NFA a 21-14 just one minute earlier, and that score came only two minutes after Staples tied the game at 14-all on Patrick Lesch's 29-yard touchdown run.
Earlier, Paparelli scored from a yard out 32 seconds into the second quarter to give NFA a 14-7 lead. It was the first time the Wreckers had trailed in a game all season.
The expected fireworks started early with two touchdowns just 3:49 into the game. Massie threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to Frusciante just 1:18 into the game to give the Wreckers a 7-0 lead, but Ramel Williams broke free for a 32-yard touchdown run 2:37 later and Elisa Formiglio's extra point as tied the game at 7-7.

Wednesday, Aug. 2
Good morning, TexMessengers! Today in 1876, Colorado became the 38th state.
Retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Dallas, congratulated her likely successor Ted Cruz on his victory in last night's Republican runoff race this morning and offered to aid his general election campaign efforts.
"Tuesday's election results show Texans are eager to break the current Democratic tendencies in Washington toward more government, increased regulation and higher taxes. Ted's victory is also an early indicator of the national mood," Hutchison said in a release.
She added that voters are "seeking conservative alternatives" and less "encroachment by the federal government."
Hutchison also threw Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, the establishment-backed candidate whose campaign flopped last night to the tea party insurgent, a bone.
"I also had a good conversation Wednesday morning with Lt. Governor David Dewhurst," Hutchison said. "He has been a strong voice, for many years, in Texas government and I am certain he will continue to have a positive influence on the direction of our state."
Every morning, we share some headlines from the 2012 presidential campaigns.

CLARIFICATION: In a previous post on this blog, the current concealed handgun license law was misconstrued. Under current law, someone who qualifies with a semi-automatic weapon can carry either a revolver or a semi-automatic gun. A person who qualifies for their license with a revolver can only legally carry a revolver. A proposal that's on its way to Gov. Rick Perry's desk would allow a licensee to qualify with either weapon and carry either weapon.
Sen. Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls, has a problem: although he's licensed to shoot semi-automatic weapons, he just gave his last semi-automatic gun away. And, under current law, since he tested with a semi-automatic gun, his concealed handgun license doesn't apply to his many revolvers.
"But I'm not proposing this for me," Estes said after the Texas Senate passed House Bill 3142 late Tuesday. "It's the same principals of marksmanship, and they should be interchangeable."
The bill would allow licensees to use either weapon during their marksmanship tests, Estes said, and to then be licensed on both. Although the house already approved the bill, Estes added an amendment – originally Senate Bill 1400 – that representatives now need to concur on before the proposal goes to Gov. Rick Perry for approval. It protects the gun rights of the state's younger population, it appears.
"The amendment says that a city can't forbid you to possess an airgun," Estes said. "A kid ought to be allowed to own a Red Ryder BB gun, and the city shouldn't be preventing it."
He said that most cities still prohibit firing an airgun inside city limits, but they would be lawful to possess under the amendment.

Investigators will develop two imaging tools for assessing the effectiveness of various experimental T cell immunotherapies being developed in mouse models as potential treatments for human brain gliomas.
Given the lack of results and serious side effects from conventional chemotherapies used to try to treat brain glioma, research that is devoted to strengthening the patient's own immune T cells in the laboratory and then infusing them back into the patient is receiving increasing attention. A major obstacle in developing such "immunotherapies" is the blood-brain-barrier (BBB): Scientists must design effective methods that enable the strengthened immune T cells to migrate from the body, cross the BBB and enter the brain. If that is accomplished, the next challenge is to determine and demonstrate that the immune T cells effectively attack the tumor. The Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which must approve all drugs and biologics for interstate marketing in this country based on evidence of relative safety and efficacy, has expressed an interest in developing methods to non-invasively verify where the immune cells go immediately after being inoculated into the patient, where in the brain the cells have migrated to thereafter, and demonstrate evidence of tumor shrinkage or improved clinical outcome.
Imaging tools recently developed by these investigators, initially to study T cell migration to the pre-diabetic pancreas and now to study their migration to brain glioma, are designed to address these needs. They removed T cells from a mouse model, labeled them in the laboratory with a perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsion, inoculated the labeled cells back into the mice, and used MRI to track the cells' migration. They found that this technique provides reliable estimates of the number of cells that reach a specific destination. Moreover, they also discovered that this same PFC emulsion can be used to measure the amount of oxygen present in a cell, and found that increased oxygenation is an early indication of tumor killing. They now hypothesize that this technique can be effectively used in the mouse model of glioma to quantify the number of immune T cells that migrate to the site of brain glioma and that the extent of increase oxygenation (i.e., intracellular partial pressure of oxygen) within glioma cells will correlate with the amount of T cell migration to the tumor. They will test these hypotheses in the mouse glioma model.
Significance: If successful in the mouse model, this new technique then would be tested in patients with glioma to see if it provides valid biomarkers for determining whether specific experimental immunotherapies are effective.
The inability to see cells in vivo following transfer is one of the greatest bottlenecks in the development of live-cell cancer immunotherapy. In this proposal we will devise tools that can be used to non-invasively detect and quantify therapeutic T cells migrating into the central nervous system (CNS). These tools will accelerate the development of effective immunotherapy against glioma. For these studies we will employ a recently devised fluorine-19 (19F) MRI cell tracking platform. In our approach, cells of interest are labeled ex vivo with a novel perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsion composition, and the cells are introduced into the subject. Cell migration is subsequently monitored in vivo using 19F MRI. The key advantage of this method is that the 19F images are extremely selective for the labeled cells, and one can readily quantify the number of labeled cells in regions of interest. PFC cell tracking has significant potential for human translational studies. Overall, the proposal has two Specific Aims: (1a) We will devise ex vivo labeling protocols for therapeutic T cells using novel PFC-based cell labels and rigorously evaluate whether PFC labeling induces any alterations in T cell function and phenotype in vitro; (1b) we will longitudinally visualize the kinetics and quantity of labeled, therapeutic T cells migrating to CNS tumors using 19F MRI; (2a) Using ex vivo PFC-labeled glioma cells, we will longitudinally assay intracellular oxygen following implantation into the CNS and subsequent therapeutic T cell ingress into tumor regions; (2b) we will correlate the quantity of T cells found at the tumor, the mean intracellular oxygen of the glioma cells, and the degree of tumor shrinkage via conventional MRI. The Pittsburgh region has exceptional strength in cancer immunotherapy and imaging innovations. We have organized a potent research team from the region to conduct this project.

Sensory difficulties, like hearing loss or vision problems, are not just about those senses but also the extra cognitive effort it takes to understand them. Dana Foundation grantee Jonathan Peelle talks about the cognitive challenges involved with hearing issues, how even slight deficits in "normal" hearing levels can lead to changes in how sound is processed, and why this work may offer us new insights into how hearing may be linked to the development of dementias.

He is admired by his colleagues, loved by his patients, and due to marry his boss' daughter, the beautiful Eva Heinemann. One day, when two patients in desperate need of emergency surgery are wheeled into his hospital, Tenma faces a terrible choice of saving the orphaned boy who came first or the mayor of Düsseldorf, whose recovery would raise the hospital's profile and boost his own career. Against the demands of his superior, Tenma does what he believes is right and saves the child. However, his decision not only damages his prospects, but unleashes a chain of events so horrific that it might have come from the depths of his worst nightmares. Laden with guilt, Tenma begins a journey across Germany in search of a formidable young man who will challenge his morals, his love for life, and his very sanity.

Monster is a true gem and a rare anime masterpiece.Despite its daunting length, an exceedingly high standard of quality is consistently maintained in all 74 episodes. And because the writer does not get sidetracked with filler episodes or arcs, a single, coherent storyline runs through. This gives the impression of watching a an excellent graphic novel.

I've written about this several times now, but for the sake of completeness, allow me to complain once more on the general quality of lengthy series. The simple fact that long series tend to be filler-ridden, asinine and childish wastes of time is not a difficult one to realize. When it comes right down to it, a profitable 50+ episode series needs a big audience and a small budget, and thus... read more

This Wheel's on Fire Levon Helm and the Story of the Band By Levon Helm with Stephen Davis Illustrated. 320 pages. William Morrow & Company. $22.
The tale of the Band is a counterculture version of the classic show-business tale in which gritty, earnest nobodies, driven by the need to sing or play or dance or act, work valiantly year after year until one day an all-powerful producer spots them, plucks them out of the small-time and sets them on the road to fame. That the tale, as told by Levon Helm in "This Wheel's on Fire," is still worth hearing has a lot to do with the fact that Mr. Helm wanted to make good rock-and-roll more than he wanted to be a solo-driven rock superstar.
As the Band's drummer, he was certainly part of a superstar ensemble. The group became famous when it started to play with Bob Dylan in 1965, and it had become legendary by the time Martin Scorsese filmed "The Last Waltz," its farewell concert, in 1976. In the intervening 11 years, the Band did it all: recorded best-selling albums, won critics' hearts and minds, appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" and made the cover of Time magazine.
Although the group's other members came from Canada, Mr. Helm was born in the land where rock-and-roll myth began, a land of "tenant farmers and sharecroppers, field hands and water boys," on a cotton farm near Turkey Scratch, Ark. Roy Rogers and Lash La Rue movies played every Saturday afternoon, the F. S. Walcott Rabbits Foot Minstrels came to town regularly, and if your radio wasn't working well, you plugged it into the tractor so as not to miss "The Grand Ole Opry," "The Shadow" and "Amos 'n' Andy."
Mark Lavon Helm got his first guitar in 1949 at age 9, and the guitar taught him that he wasn't meant to be a cotton farmer. By the time he was 12, he and his sister Linda were singing at 4-H Club fairs across the state. "I'd usually bring a steer or a hog that I'd raised, and enter the tractor-driving contest and the talent show with my sister," he writes. There they were, he and Sister, looking like Bobby Van and June Allyson, serenading the Future Farmers of America with Chuck Berry's latest tune.Continue reading the main story
Along the way, he got the kind of musical education any rocker would have killed for. He heard Bill Monroe's bluegrass and Sonny Boy Williamson's blues. He saw Elvis Presley perform at a high school auditorium. And it was Conway Twitty who told him that if he wanted to earn a living playing rockabilly, Canada was the place to be.
So he changed his name to Levon and took off for Canada in 1958 with a raucous little outfit that called itself Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks. Within a few years, the Hawks included all the other members of what would be the Band: Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson. Ronnie Hawkins excepted, all of these musicians wanted to be something more than the undisputed champions of Canadian rock-and-roll.
"We'd listen to the radio and laugh because, with the exception of Motown, the groups were all so bad," Mr. Helm writes. "The big acts of the day, the Beatles and the Beach Boys, came across to us as a blend of pale, homogenized voices. . . . We were jealous and considered them our rivals, even though they'd never heard of us."
They were about to. After the Hawk left, the group had a brief fantasy of backing Sonny Boy Williamson. "Not in the South . . . not in most places," said their agent, and Williamson died a month later anyway. But three months after that, a call came from Bob Dylan. The folk troubadour was throwing off his chaste acoustic garments and "going electric." He needed a band.
Why did the Band break up in 1976? Drugs and liquor played their part, but Mr. Helm lays more blame on the ego clashes that the machinery of pop stardom had set in motion. Specifically, he blames Mr. Robertson: guided by Mr. Dylan's manager, Albert Grossman, Mr. Robertson took or was urged to take solo credit for what was and always had been a group enterprise, Mr. Helm says.
It takes more than one ego to keep this kind of feud going, but in any case, the Band's breakup was a shame. If you have ever been moved by those movies where Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland swear to put on the best show anybody has ever seen, you'll by moved by Mr. Helm's account of a moment in the early 1960's when Mr. Danko preached: " 'Why can't we have a band,' he asked, 'where everybody plays an instrument, everybody sings, everybody does it without some guy out in front of the thing running the show and deciding the way things are gonna go?' "
Musically, the Band exemplified what came to be known as country rock. (Not a term Mr. Helm liked much, but then he never liked "the Band" either; he wanted the group to be called the Crackers.) Mr. Helm calls the Band's sound "multiple voices and jumbled instruments": an accordion, a mandolin and an organ were added to the usual rhythm section, and with the players' close-packed harmonies and alternating leads, they sang more like a gospel or bluegrass group than a rock band. They were more inventive than the Byrds, spunkier than the Eagles and less smug than Steely Dan. Mr. Dylan did some of his best work with them: he never sang better, and he has sung worse ever since.
A movie historian once said that it was the autobiographies of the second-tier performers -- the Mary Astors, not the Bette Davises -- that really told how movies were made, how the industry functioned and how an actor survived year after year. I think this applies to rock autobiographies, too; I know it does if you compare "This Wheel's on Fire" with the other big pop-music memoir of 1993, Diana Ross's "Secrets of a Sparrow" (Villard Books). Thirty-some years in the music business have left Ms. Ross with an image to worship. They have given Levon Helm a story to tell.Continue reading the main story

On Friday, Microsoft will release Windows 8, the completely revamped version of its flagship operating system. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this product to the company. It has been in development for several years as the vehicle that will carry the Redmond giant into the post-PC era. It's a bold bet creating an entirely new look and feel for portable devices and aiming to bring consumers (especially young consumers) into Microsoft's traditional customer base of business users.

I've been using the OS on a tablet and I like the colorful tiles and easy swiping from task to task. It's simple to navigate the UI and get quickly to the apps you want. However, when I turn my slate into a real working device, rather than a browser or entertainment platter, I have to forgo the flashy new look and revert back to the Windows 7 look and feel that's buried under the covers. In fact, I do much of my work there. The problem for many consumers, if recent articles in the mainstream press are accurate, is that almost no one seems to know that the Windows 7 look and feel can be enabled for desktops and tablets. A recent article in The New York Times about how confused Windows 8 users were with the new interface mentioned the option only in passing and even then without any conviction of its signal importance. Ignorance of the presence of the traditional Windows UI is the first of many, many failures of Microsoft's planning, marketing, and PR departments.
Another failure is that the new UI's name is undecided. It was "Metro," as we all know. But to avoid a contretemps with a company partner in Europe, Microsoft had to forgo the name and scramble a new one just months before release. Right now, it's officially the "Windows 8 look and feel," which thoroughly guts the point I've just made about explaining the two UI options. Internally to Microsoft, "Metro" is referred to as "Modern" a term that certainly won't sparkle anyone's eyes.
Even though the official release of Windows 8 occurs later this week, the company released its Surface tablet last week with something other than Windows 8 on it. It was running Windows RT, which is the stripped-down ARM version of Windows 8. Consumers are rightly flummoxed by this bifurcation of brands. It gets worse: The tablets are technically running a Windows RT tablet with the Windows 8 look and feel but not running Windows 8, nor will they ever be able to. If you want the Windows 8 UI to actually run on Windows 8, instead of Windows RT, you have to wait for the next round of Surface tablets several months hence. A consumer is going to understand this?
If my observation that Windows RT is the ARM version of the OS sounds odd, it might be because you're thinking of WinRT, which is an entirely different thing. That is the core API to which developers need to program to get the unique benefits of Windows 8. It runs on both x86 and ARM. WinRT and Windows RT not the tight branding quality we're used to, are they?
I'll leave off discussion of the Nokia Lumia phones that run the Windows 8 UI today on Windows Phone 7.5. However, those phones can't be upgraded to Windows Phone 8. Phone buyers will surely not view their existing "Windows 8 UI" phones with much love after being told that.
The programming aspects of Windows 8 are hardly cause for cheer. The famous slide released late last year that showed the architecture of Windows 8 and associated development technologies was revised multiple times. It's been revised again since then. I expect it will be clarified and revised again at the upcoming Build conference. The Visual Studio 2012 product, as I discussed in a recent review, shows the conflicts between the "Metro" metaphor and the traditional Windows 7 look and feel ultimately settling on a near-monochrome scheme with tab names using all-caps. If this UI does indeed point the way for the new desktop apps, as Microsoft itself has suggested, the company's business apps are in very serious trouble.
I'll stop here, as my point is clear. I've attended dozens of OS launches from Microsoft, IBM, Linux vendors, Novell, Sun, and a half dozen UNIX vendors. They all had one common element: Everyone sang from the same hymnal and that hymnal used clear terminology to express the important new features. Microsoft used to lead the way in this. Everybody at the company from the senior execs down knew the lyrics to the current release and could recite them without deviating one iota from the company line. Today, it's a chaotic scene that is, in all respects, a branding disaster one brand with several names, incompatible OS versions, competing product names, confused design principles, and hidden features. I have never seen a major company so unprepared for a major product launch as Microsoft is today.
As I said earlier, this product release is an inflection point that is crucial to the company's long-term relevance. And the company knows that. And so they did the one thing we never see big companies do when their business is shrinking: They made a bold move, a brilliant stroke, and bet the whole company on it. Nobody has the courage to do that anymore! But, they did! And now, due to horrid execution, they appear to be blowing the whole thing. If Windows 8 fails, there is no doubt that, as the desktop franchise shrinks, Microsoft will be pushed into the smaller, server-side business market. There, it will be permanently consigned to the ranks of legacy software vendors. Ugh!

The Porcelain God: A Social History of the Toilet
Carol Publishing Group, 1996 - Humor - 216 pages
Elvis died on one, and Charles V, ruler of Germany and Spain, was born on one. Although we use them every day, most of us know very little about toilets. This unique history contends that civilization began not with the written word, but with the toilet. Through advertisements, diaries, museum catalogs, and anecdotes, The Porcelain God explores the history of the toilet and the customs and manners that surround it. The result is a fascinating study of both ancient and contemporary cultures. The earliest toilets, found in the Indus Valley in the third millennium B.C., evolved over five thousand years into the high-tech twentieth-century toilets of the Japanese. In the past, disposing of human waste consisted of collecting the offense in a pot and throwing the contents out the window. It was said in medieval times that London Bridge was built "for wise men to go over and fools to go under". London Bridge originally contained public latrines serving the thirty-eight houses built on it. The waste from the latrines dropped directly into the Thames River ... and onto anyone passing along the path under the bridge. Related topics include unique hygiene habits around the world, the evolution of toilet paper, space toilets, euphemistic sayings, and more.

Read more guidance and see examples.
What is the difference between Welcoming Cities and "Sanctuary cities"?
A Welcoming City or County is one that joins the Welcoming America network and works across multiple sectors, such as government, business, and non-profit, to create inclusive policies and practices such as making it easier for entrepreneurs to start a business or having government documents available in multiple languages. Welcoming Cities are guided by the principles of inclusion and creating communities that prosper because everyone feels welcome, including immigrants and refugees.
There is no legal definition for a "Sanctuary city". Nevertheless, a commonality among cities that have adopted sanctuary-type policies is a desire to resist changes in the law that would require local criminal law enforcement agencies to do the federal government's job of enforcing immigration laws. Many do this by preventing local officials from asking people about their immigration status. Other cities refuse to use local resources to detain immigrants. The main purpose for these types of policies is to comply with constitutional requirements and to protect public safety by maintaining positive relationships between local law enforcement and immigrant communities.
