English department presents seminar on renaissance poetry
March 9, 2012
The English Department at Loyola University New Orleans presents Wendy Hyman, Ph.D., in the lecture, "How Not To Seduce a Virgin: Death and Doubt in Renaissance Erotic Poetry," on March 13 at 5 p.m. in the Whitney Bank Presentation Room, located on the first floor of Thomas Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
According to Hyman, one of the most popular forms of literature revived by Renaissance poets was the classical "carpe diem" theme in which coy virgins were urged to "seize the day" and succumb to their lovers' embraces before time ran out. Such invitations often seemed merely playful, but they relied on the proposition, quite scandalous in Reformation Europe, that there was no afterlife, no Christian consolation and no God awaiting us after death.
"How Not to Seduce a Virgin: Death and Doubt in Renaissance Erotic Poetry" will show how these seemingly trivial poems actually popularized the atheistic philosophy known as "materialism," and thereby seduce the reader into engaging in a radical intellectual game, re-conceptualizing our relationship to both matter and spirit.
Hyman, a professor of Renaissance literature at Oberlin College, focuses her research on 16th and 17th century literature, the history of science and intellectual history, Ovidianism, mythology and lyric of all periods. Recently, she edited the book, "The Automaton in English Renaissance Literature," on the wide variety of inanimate objects that come to "life" in early modern literature. Her own chapter in the collection was on the surprisingly frequent poetic appearances of mechanical birds. She is currently working on the manuscript, "Skeptical Seductions: Carpe Diem Poetry and the Eroticism of Doubt," about seduction poetry's ability to explore questions of both physics and philosophy.

FORT WORTH — Republicans opened their 2012 convention Thursday united against President Obama, but revealing the family divisions between establishment leaders and conservatives including tea party enthusiasts looking for anti-government warriors.
The divide was exposed when Gov. Rick Perry drew a wash of boos for praising Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who is battling tea party-backed Ted Cruz for the party's nod for U.S. Senate.
It was further highlighted when U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, scheduled to speak about "Uniting Republicans and Balancing the Federal Budget," made it clear he is not looking for unity at any cost.
"If you bring people together for the wrong ideas, what good is it? You have to bring people together for the right ideas," Paul told an enthusiastic crowd that more than once broke into chants of "President Paul!"
The convention traditionally is a time for Republicans to unite, although the late Texas runoff election date is putting something of a crimp in that this year. Convention-goers are hearing from a roster of state and national figures, including elected Texas leaders and former presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who has a star turn at a fundraising gala. They also will take care of party business, including the election of party officials, selecting delegates to the national convention and approving a platform containing the party's positions and goals.
Smiling convention-goers who arrived by the thousands, many of them decked out in red, white and blue, were quick to turn vocal on the convention floor and at Paul's breakout session.
They applauded and roared their approval when Perry lauded the slashing of funds to Planned Parenthood and called 2008 "our national 'oops' moment," referring to Obama's election and his own much-noted 2011 debate gaffe.
'Dew' vs. Cruz
The mood, however, quickly turned when Perry said, "We all know in our hearts that Texas is the laboratory of conservative reform. We need more strong conservatives in Texas and we need more conservative Texans in Washington, D.C., including my friend, David Dewhurst."
The statement drew a gush of "boos" and, perhaps, a drawn-out "Cruz," neither a good sign for the lieutenant governor.
Dewhurst and Perry later brushed aside the moment, suggesting they thought the crowd was saying, "Dew."
"Everybody's united against Obama and the Democrats," said convention-goer Ben Streusand of Houston, chairman of the advisory board for Americans for Prosperity and a political contributor on KSEV radio. He said even though many do not believe de facto presidential nominee Mitt Romney is conservative, "They're going to support him because they're sick of what's going on in Washington."
In his remarks, Paul was optimistic about the chances of success for his limited-government movement.
"Our freedom movement might not be winning all these battles, but we're going to win the war," he said.
There is a strong contingent of Paul supporters at the convention who hope to win a sizeable number of the 155 delegates to the national convention in Tampa, which would allow them to push his views and show their support for him.
Paul backers think big
Delegate Aubrey Vaughan, 67, a Baptist church pastor from Liberty County who is co-founder of the Tri County Texas Tea Party, said his hopes go beyond Paul supporters' ability to push the congressman's views.
"I would like to see him get nominated," said Vaughan. "It appears that Mitt Romney is a shoo-in. He's won it, that's what it appears. But things are not always as they appear. We'll see."
Meanwhile in Houston, at the George R. Brown Convention Center, the Democrats were engaged in preliminaries, prior to opening-night receptions at the Hilton Americas next door. Ed Martin, of Austin, a longtime Democratic strategist and former executive director of the party, said he had been in a seven-hour meeting of the platform committee. Also meeting were the nominations committee, the temporary rules committee and other elements of the party apparatus.
"The goals of this convention are to educate, energize our delegates to go back home and work as hard as they can work for Democratic candidates all across the state" said outgoing party chairman Boyd Richie.
'Rising stars'
The spotlight, several delegates said, would be on the party's "rising stars," including San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro and state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who is engaged in a tough battle to hold on to her seat.
Richie, who described Davis as "one of the brightest lights of my tenure," nevertheless warned his fellow Democrats against investing all their hopes in particular candidates instead of building an infrastructure that will support candidates.
"For too long" he said, "our party has been in the position of looking for that one candidate, that media star, that messiah that's going to carry us, instead of us carrying them," he said.

I think this looks STUNNING and the cost is pretty decent too. But a lack of storage (only 13GB available and no SD card slot) plus an old OS is going to make it a hard sell.
Sony's second addition to its NXT range of smartphones - the Xperia P - has gone up for pre-order in the UK with a price tag of £330. Unveiled at industry shindig Mobile World Congress 2012 in February, the Android blower debuts the company's WhiteMagic display tech. Similar to Sharp's yellow-pixel Quattron tellies, this …
I'll be quite surprised if it launches with Gingerbread as Sony are currently rolling out ICS to its 2011 Xperia line as we speak, with the Xperia S due to get it later this month. If it does launch on GB, I can't see it running it for very long.....
However, I'm in no rush for ICS for my Xperia S, as GB absolutely flies on it, and I'm struggling to see anything compelling in ICS for now. I'm sure ICS will be lovely when it arrives, but for now, GB is doing the trick nicely.
I had an Experia S for a week, I prefer my phones to be shorter that my car. I drive a jeep and practically had to keep this thing on the roof. good job I didn't stick it up there sideways or me 'n the car would have taken off.
Seriously its massive, nice and thin and all that but longer than my favourite snowboard.
Its gone back. I am using my old W810i in preference, having already disposed of my HTC Desire, which I think I will probably return to, on a new handset. I really fancied an HTC One X but guess what, its even bigger than the Experia S, LOL, LMAO, colleagues at work laughed at the widescreen TV on my desk.
Prepare to be embarrassed by your phone, bit like the twats in the 80s with the car battery sized mobiles - rememebr them ? The phones, not the twats carrying them!!
posted anonymously - damn right - I just know the fanboiz will queue up to flame the luddite!! and I'm not a luddite particularly, I have PCs at home, laptop for games and work (virtual box), phone (albeit a steam powered one right now) and a nice android tablet (Xoom in case you were wondering).
ITS JUST TOO BIG - not that I ever heard that before.
If the Xperia ICS update is anything to go by then stick with GB until Sony iron out the bugs. Gaming is a frustrating experience with many users complaining of issues with touch controls and others are having WiFi problems. I myself cannot play popular games like Angry Birds, Frisbee, etc. for long before touch controls lock up forcing a reboot!

The death of a woman who was shot and robbed in Melrose Park has been ruled a homicide, officials said today.
Maricela Vera, 41, was standing outside her car in her garage at 1802 N. 21st Ave. when a gunman stole her purse and shot her about 7:20 p.m. Tuesday, said Melrose Park spokesman Gary Mack.
Vera was pronounced dead about 7:50 p.m. after being taken to Gottlieb Memorial Hospital in Melrose Park by paramedics, Mack said.
A neighbor likely called after hearing shots fired and police responded to a robbery in progress, Mack said.
"Her car was running as if she was preparing to leave the garage,'' Mack said.
No one else was hurt.
An autopsy Wednesday determined Vera died of a gunshot wound to the face and her death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Mack said the investigation is ongoing and police presence in that area has been stepped up.
Mack declined to say if any arrests have been made and police continue to comb the area for evidence.
"The investigation is ongoing,'' Mack said.

KINGS vs. CAROLINA
Faceoff: 1 p.m. Saturday, Staples Center
TV/Radio: FSW / 1150-AM
Update: The Kings exited the Olympic break with road victories Wednesday over the Colorado Avalanche and Thursday over the Calgary Flames, and they looked good in each game. Now they return to Staples Center for a two-game homestand before hitting the road again. The Kings (33-22-6) also have two games to play before the NHL trade deadline Wednesday. Many league observers believe the goal-starved team will make a move to improve its scoring. A six-goal outburst against Colorado helped the Kings climb to 27th from 29th in the 30-team league in offense with a still-puny output of 2.31 goals per game. Anze Kopitar has a team-leading 50 points for the Kings, including 31 assists. Jeff Carter leads the Kings with 21 goals. Carolina is 26-24-9 after a 4-1 loss Thursday to the Dallas Stars.

Michael Gee, the recently named head of school at Allendale Columbia, played host to a group of international students at his house last week to watch football and have a meal.
Their situation is one Gee understands well. As an international scholar, Gee came from his native England to teach in American public schools. After working his way up at Winchester Thurston School, a private school in Pittsburgh, Gee made a reputation as a strong leader with a focus on science and mathematics as well as international education.
He brought those strengths to Allendale Columbia when he was selected as its head of school in late 2011. Taking over at a school with 362 students, 58 full- and part-time faculty members and a total budget of close to $7.5 million, he already has made his mark.
This summer he implemented an in-depth science curriculum for students in the lower school and has made strides to improve the school's robust international program.
The crux of these changes focuses on preparing students for what they will face after their days in school end, he says.
"We're always thinking of what we need to do so they'll be successful," says Gee, 48. "We have a great track record of our students going to the best colleges and universities and doing well there, but we also need to think about what it is they will need after college as well."
Coming to America
Gee's first teaching experience was in Nottingham, in his native England. In 1990 he started teaching at what was known as a community school, a model with an open plan with no doors or offices.
The school was open until 9 p.m., allowing students to come back after hours and receive tutoring or help on homework. Situated in a part of town that included a closed mine, the school was a big winner, Gee says.
"They had a lot of success, against the odds of the area and their situation," he says.
He taught there for seven years, also coaching soccer, before entering the Fulbright Scholar Exchange Program. The program sends teachers abroad to gain a greater perspective on education and international issues, and for Gee it meant leaving England to become a teacher in Pittsburgh.
He ended up at Schenley High School, an inner-city school with metal detectors at entrances. Gee would spend two years there, getting experience in an American school setting, but gaining something else as well.
"While I was there I met my future wife, Amy, and when it came time for me to return to England we got engaged," Gee says.
While in England, Gee intended to return to the United States and again teach in public schools, a setting that had become his forte. But as he worked through the process of returning, Gee found that teaching certification for public schools was a difficult process, one that differed for each state.
He spoke to his principal at Schenley High School, who encouraged him to try private schools, which Gee prefers to call independent schools.
"I found a position at Winchester Thurston School back in Pittsburgh, teaching AP physics and chemistry," Gee says. "This was a school in the city of Pittsburgh, but it was in a part of the city near the cultural district and Carnegie Mellon, so it was a different experience than I had the first time."
The transition to an independent school after teaching in underprivileged public schools was not as difficult as Gee had thought it could be. As the child of working-class parents who had worked since they were 15, Gee had been the first in his family to go to college and was acquainted with the issues facing students who grow up in poverty.
Coming to Winchester Thurston School, he had heard the stereotype of independent schools as stuffy, exclusive places. His experience was anything but that, Gee says.
"A lot of people have a picture of independent schools as being like country clubs, but it's much more diverse than people realize," he said. "Kids are kids, and working in this setting can be just as challenging as an inner-city school with underprivileged kids."
Independent schools did have several advantages when it came to teaching, Gee found. The curriculum at these schools could be much more flexible, responding in time as students' needs changed without additional layers of bureaucracy to navigate.
"We have an approach that if there is something you need to be doing for your students, you just do it," Gee says, snapping his fingers.
While at Winchester Thurston School, Gee became head of the upper school, a position he held for 12 years. He enjoyed and valued the experience but says he had intentions of becoming the head of an independent school.
Gee went to Columbia University to get his master's degree in independent school management, the only such program in the country. After completing the program in 2008, he was ready to make the next step.
Joining Allendale Columbia
At roughly the same time, Allendale Columbia had a vacancy. David Blanchard, then the head of school, announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2011-12 school year, and the board decided to undertake an international search for his replacement.
The board hired a search firm, one that pulled in finalists from as far away as Manila. One finalist was Gee.
When Gee was contacted by the search firm, he admits he had not heard much about Allendale Columbia. When he came to Rochester as part of the interview process, he found the city to be similar to Pittsburgh, both in size and demographics.
"When I came and had a look at the school and campus, I just fell in love with it," Gee says. "I saw this as a good opportunity for me."
As the search process wound down, the Allendale Columbia board came to the same decision. After starting the search process with more than 100 candidates, the board selected Gee to start in July.
Gee stood out, Chairman Paul Holloway says.
"What really stood out is his track record of academic excellence at Winchester Thurston School," Holloway says. "He had a strong focus on math and science, and that's a place where Allendale Columbia excels as well. His coming from the U.K. and having that international perspective also stood out."
Once at the school, Gee wasted no time in learning about its strengths and weaknesses. Starting at the beginning of the month, he sat down with close to 70 members of the school community, including faculty members and parents, for roughly an hour each.
From these meetings he learned what things the school was doing well and others that it was not. He also got a feel for the unique aspects of Allendale Columbia.
"I saw how it's a whole community here," Gee says. "There's family-style dining for the students and assigned seating, so they sit with all different groups and ages. It gives us a very close feel here."
Gee has taken great steps to encourage that atmosphere. Holloway notes that his daughter, a 12th-grade student at Allendale Columbia, returned from the first day of school excited about the speech Gee had given to students.
"Since school started, he's been eating his lunch in the cafeteria with students every day, making sure he sits with all the different groups to get to know the students," Holloway says.
Gee also has been working on his transition to Rochester. He and his wife live in Pittsford with their daughter, Medeleine. Exploring the region, he finds the similarities to Pittsburgh even more striking than he noticed at first glance, Gee says.
He is settling into his routine at home. He has been gardening and nursing an Achilles injury that has forced him away from his love, playing soccer.
"I have found a club in Spencerport that I've been doing a bit of running with, and it feels very good to get back out there," Gee says.
Boosting STEM curriculum
After spending much of his first few weeks listening to members of the Allendale Columbia community, Gee had a chance to make a major change of his own just days before the school year started.
After a science teacher departed, Gee had the choice to go back to the pool of available teachers and fill the position, but he made a different decision. Seeing it as an opportunity to boost the science, technology, engineering and mathematics curriculum, Gee decided instead to contract with a company to provide an in-school science curriculum.
The company, Vista Teach Instructional Services Inc., works with students in kindergarten through grade 5 in daily 90-minute sessions. During that time, roughly double the length of the previous science class, students work together in small groups to do hands-on exploration of science and engineering concepts.
Reaching students at such a young age is important in setting them on a path to academic excellence, Gee notes.
Parents have responded well to the program. Mauricio Riveros, the parent of three students at Allendale Columbia and also a trustee, says he noticed a difference almost immediately.
"My 7-year-old all of a sudden started coming home with all these great ideas about science and technology, and even talking about things like engineering concepts," Riveros says.
Holloway says the stellar AP scores and student achievement in the upper school will be able to move down to the lower school, where they can foster even better performance in the future.
Gee also has improved the school's international program, a process that started before his arrival. In May the school announced that it was expanding its Global Education Initiative, appointing a new dean of international programs and boosting its study abroad programs.
The international face of Allendale Columbia for Gee reinforces the lesson he learned at Winchester Thurston School, that independent schools are anything but stuffy and exclusive.
"I think many people still do have the view of the independent school as like a country club, but we're working to change that," Gee says.
For the future, Gee says, he has other ideas to improve teaching, such as boosting the technology used by students, but he says ultimately he will adapt his plans to the changing needs of the school.
"It's wrong to just come in with a vision of what I want this school to be and forcing it on them," Gee says. "We're in the business of producing bright, creative students."
Whatever changes he decides to implement, he will move on them as quickly as he did the STEM program. He notes he is free from the constraints public schools face, giving him the ability to hire and fire teachers as the school needs.
Gee also has been working to improve Allendale Columbia's relationship with local public schools, meeting with Rochester City School District Superintendent Bolgen Vargas to find areas of common interest. Gee also plans to serve as "superintendent for a day" at RCSD.
Still, he says he prefers the advantages and flexibility that come with an independent school.
"Schools tend to do things and implement change slowly, but we want to do it more quickly," Gee says. "Looking at public schools 100 years ago, they don't look that much different in structure and curriculum from what you see today. The nice thing about being at an independent school like Allendale Columbia is that we can do things so much more quickly."

After a 2012 season turned upside down by the bounty scandal, Saints coach Sean Payton is back and Saints quarterback Drew Brees sees the 2013 season as a "new era" for the franchise.
Brees explained his views in that regard during a Friday appearance on Pro Football Talk.
"We have as much to prove to each other as we do to anybody else," Brees said. "How do we get back to feeling like we felt before when we were winning games and winning championships?"
Could that new start include receiver Randy Moss, who reportedly wants to play next season and who said this week that he's not happy with his role in San Francisco? Brees initially laughed about the possibility, suggested that "you never know how things shake out," and then pointed out that when Moss worked out for the Saints during his 2011 retirement, Brees said the coaches told him that Moss "can still run."

A teacup pig is a very small breed as compared to farm pigs and can grow to a height of 12 to 16 inches, weighing around 55 to 60 pounds. Owing to its small size and cute looks, many people are attracted towards it and want to have it as their pet. Every pro has some cons and similar is the case with teacup pigs too. Let's have a look at some of these.
As for the advantages, apart from being a cute little pet, these pigs have a long lifespan which can go up till 20 years. Just imagine a pet which can be by your side for as long as 20 years and all you need to do is take good care of it. Teacup pigs are very intelligent and they can be trained very easily to perform various tricks and make it listen to your commands and act accordingly. You can even teach it to use the litter box all by itself. The sweet and extra affectionate nature of these pigs makes it much more appealing. The teacup pig have very fine hair and they rarely shed and this is very good news for those who have some allergy or other respiratory problems. All this little creature needs is your love and care. If you have a busy schedule and will not be able to give a lot of attention to your pet then it's better to switch to some other option.
When it comes to the negative side, these pigs can be really aggressive if not trained well. So without proper training, you can expect your pet to wonder around your house creating a huge mess. As already mentioned, if you keep a busy schedule then the teacup pig is not the kind of pet you should ideally have. These pigs need frequent attention and are always in a lookout for your time. So, before making any decision, do think twice. Special thanks to Salt Lake City SEO

Melton's name has been thrown around here a lot lately, so I took some time and watched him.
Pros: great lateral quickness. Leverage player, can get under pads.
Cons: Not great length. cannot absorb double teams often enough, probably because he is a bit undersized. In Chicago's scheme, he plays a position that doesn't have a Seattle counterpart.
In end zone views of Chicago's defense, Melton is the easiest guy to find. Low, squatty, and always lined up on the outside shoulder of a guard. Lined up between the tackle and guard, but shading the guard. This is where you find Melton 95% of the time. Also called the 5 technique. Chicago runs an unusual 4-3 look, rarely having anyone lined up over the center, but often having both Briggs and Urlacher shallow, just 3 yards from the center. Melton is quick enough to jump from 5 to the nose the snap and absorb a center/guard block if the play calls for it.
Melton is not a 3rd down pass rush specialist. His sack totals might make you think otherwise, but he is a platoon player. In for a couple of series, out for a series. This also doesn't help him fit for Seattle, as Pete likes to play situational football. He is versatile, having some success against the run. He isn't a chase runners down kind of guy, but does quickly shed guards and laterally intercept the running lane.
So, how has Melton acquired this reputation as a pass rusher, you might wonder? First, lining up at the 3 with Peppers lined up at the 7 or the 5 leads to a lot of one on ones. Put Melton on a plodder in space, and he can quick his way to the QB. Rarely did I see him simply push a guard back.
Also, Chicago runs a ton of line stunts in pass situations. Peppers isn't so fast that he can take the Clemons/Irvin edge route to the QB, and he is strong enough not to need to anyway. Melton often speed rushes the outside shoulder of the guard, taking him wide of the pocket, leaving Peppers an inside move away from a straight line to the QB. This simple stunt is where much of Melton's pass rushing success has been, as the right side of many defenses have struggled to take away Peppers. Another stunt Chicago runs a lot is to have Melton jump from the 5 to the 3 tech at the snap, absorb the guard and center, and leave Peppers singled on the right tackle. Of course, Melton doesn't get any pressure on the pocket this way, but Peppers does.
Our defense is as different from Chicago's 4-3 as two 4-3 defenses can be. We expect the 5 to two gap. He does not have to penetrate and disrupt, just be able to hold his area, even if doubled. In fact, we prefer he be doubled, because now the linebackers are freed up. We usually have a player on the center's shoulder or nose. We do try to free up Clemons/Irvin to be single blocked, but any inside move they make is usually up to them, and not the result of a stunt. Of course, we run some of the same stunts, but not very often. I assume if we had a player like Peppers, we would do that much more. But we don't, we have speed rushers.
In summation, I will be surprised if Seattle pursues Melton. He isn't a long player suited to being an up the middle pass rush specialist or pocket collapser, and he isn't a fit for the mold we currently have for our defensive tackles in our kind of hybrid 4-3.

Dan Radcliffe Talks "My Boy Jack" and More in New Interview
Oct 05, 2007
The November issue of American men's style magazine GQ, features a brief, yet detailed question and answer interview with Harry Potter actor Dan Radcliffe. In the interview, which you can read in its entirety here thanks to our Order partner DanRadcliffe.com, Dan discusses his upcoming ITV1 film, "My Boy Jack," his experiences with Richard Griffiths during the production of "Equus" and much more.
Here are a few snippets from the Q&A:
In your new film, My Boy Jack, you play a WW1 soldier. How were the trenches?
"Exhilarating. Conditions were tough; there were mud, rats and we were soaked by rain machines. It was Glastonbury all over again – but with guns."
What TV do you enjoy?
"The American version of The Office is fantastic. The one relationship that's not so strong is [their version of] Gareth and Tim. The guy playing Martin Freeman [Tim] character is good looking and looks like he wouldn't get as frustrated."
Do you consider yourself a role model?
"It's a gray area. I wouldn't like to put myself on that pedestal. I consider Harry a great role model though – it's good to see speccy heroes are in."
Dan's film, "My Boy Jack," is slated to air on ITV1 in the UK November 11th.
Many thanks to our Order partner DanRadcliffe.com!

|System: PC*, PS3, Xbox 360
|Dev: Arkane Studios
|Pub: Bethesda Softworks
|Release: April 16, 2013
|Players: 1
|Screen Resolution: 480p-1080p
|Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Sexual Themes, Strong Language
Much of the gameplay in Knife of Dunwall leans towards a more visceral and violent atmosphere. Arkane nerfed Daud's magic in favor of more direct violence. Daud's Wrist Bolt, Chokedust, and Stun Mines direct the player towards having to get his hands dirty. Instead of Corvo's useful Posession spell, Daud has the ability to summon his loyal assassins to slit the throats of enemies. I like that the gameplay adjusts to fit the new protagonist; Daud's direct fighting style matches his brutal past.
Daud, like Corvo, will have a choice in how he reaches his goal. Either he can kill everyone that stands between him and his target, or he can try to find a less violent path. Whether Daud chooses to seek redemption for his past or slips further into darkness is entirely up to the player. Completing the new DLC without killing anyone, however, will frustrate even the most hardcore gamer. It fits that redeeming the tainted assassin Daud cannot be achieved without blood, sweat, and a lot of tears.
The Knife of Dunwall will please any Dishonored fan. Although playing as Daud might seem a strange choice, his complex life lends itself to an interesting narrative. This interesting narrative offers new insights into the city of Dunwall and one of the original game's most unsympathetic characters. I highly recommend The Knife of Dunwall to anyone who enjoyed Dishonored.

Just a few months ago, immigrant rights supporters had hopes of passing a bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill that would strengthen border security while also creating an urgently needed pathway to citizenship for the millions of people without documents who already live in the United States.
But in a surprise move, shortly before Christmas, the House of Representatives passed one of the most vicious anti-immigrant bills in more than a decade. If it were enacted into law, the Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005 would make it a federal crime to live in the U.S. illegally, turning the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants into felons overnight. It would also make it a crime for social service agencies or church groups to shield or offer support to undocumented immigrants.
The extreme measures in this bill would have been unthinkable just a short while ago. It speaks to the extent to which immigration has become a political flashpoint for various groups who have come to see it as a major threat to the American status quo. While the immediate targets of this bill are those who cross into the U.S. without visas, Tom Tancredo (R-Colo.), one of the bill's main supporters, has declared that his ultimate goal is a moratorium on all legal immigration and the denying of citizenship to children born to noncitizens.
News of the harsh legislation has heightened anxiety in immigrant communities. According to Brendan Curran, a priest at St. Pius V Catholic Church in the heart of Chicago's Mexican community, "There's so much fear, they won't even call the police or fire department if something is going on next door. If this becomes law, nurses and priests will not be able to do their work."

It's Wednesday. The first injury report is out. Let's get to it:
1. Aaron Rodgers showed up on the Green Bay Packers' injury report. His calf injury is newsworthy, but the quarterback still was able to practice on a limited basis. We're more worried about how Rodgers' tackles will hold up Sunday against the St. Louis Rams' pass rush.
2. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) sat out practice Wednesday. He's fully expected to play this week against the Arizona Cardinals, but the lingering issue is a bit of a concern. Vikings wide receiver Jerome Simpson (back) fully practiced, so he should get his $60,000 this week.
3. The Washington Redskins continue to be conservative with wide receiver Pierre Garcon's foot injury.
4. Matt Cassel is healthy enough to split snaps with Brady Quinn. Who will be the Kansas City Chiefs' starting quarterback after the bye week? The intrigue!
5. Cleveland Browns running back Trent Richardson (chest, rib) practiced Wednesday. He was limited, but it looks like he'll be ready to go this week against the Indianapolis Colts.
6. Dallas Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray (foot) missed practice, as expected. He reportedly won't play this week against the Carolina Panthers.
7. Greg Jennings (groin) remains out of practice for the Packers. It wouldn't be a surprise if the wide receiver missed another game.
8. New Orleans Saints tight end Jimmy Graham (ankle) sat out of practice. The team expressed optimism that Graham's injury wasn't too serious, but this is worth tracking all week.
9. New England Patriots wide receiver Brandon Lloyd didn't show up on the injury report after hurting his shoulder last week against the Seattle Seahawks. Half of his teammates did make the list, in typical Patriots style.
10. San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mario Manningham (shoulder) officially is questionable for "Thursday Night Football." He's expected to play against the Seahawks.
11. Uh oh, again. New York Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot) sat out practice Wednesday. It sounds like he'll return to the field later in the week.
12. Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall sat out of practice with his Achilles injury. Safety Troy Polamalu (calf) and center Maurkice Pouncey (knee) also sat out. Pouncey and Polamalu are expected to miss Sunday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Professor, Students Seek Sensor to Detect "Date Rape" Drug
Andrea Holmes was a graduate student at New York University when a brochure in the student health center caught her attention.
It warned students - particularly young women - about the use and dangers of flunitrazepam (also known as "roofies"), the illegal "date rape" drug with powerful sedative properties.
As I read, I kept thinking 'This is what research should be, to figure out ways that crimes like this could be prevented,'" said Holmes, who earned a Ph.D. at NYU before becoming an assistant professor of chemistry at Doane College.
Aided by two grants and a student team, Holmes has completed a year of research on the subject, working to create a sensor and personal testing kit - similar to a pH test strip - that one could carry to screen drinks.
She began with "literature digging" to see what research existed. The work of Columbia University Professor Milan Stojanovic - who designed a sensor for cocaine - was particularly valuable, she said. The two professors continue to discuss data and research findings and exchange ideas.
Holmes then designed an experiment that uses the DNA aptamers and visibles dyes to detect the presence of the drug. The first step was to test the system in water solution in the laboratory. It worked, changing from blue to colorless after the addition of the drug. After its success, Holmes applied the sensor to paper and silica strips with promising, but less conclusive, results. Holmes continues to refine the results to make the sensor more sensitive on paper and silica surfaces.
Holmes hopes someday the sensor could help prevent sexual assaults and aid in criminal investigation and testing. Flunitrazepam's effects include amnesia; individuals are unable to remember events while under the influence of the drug. The drug's effect can generally last four to six hours, with some residual effects persisting up to 12 hours or more. The residual amounts of the drug are difficult to detect, and are undetectable by the time some victims report the incident, Holmes said.
One of Holmes' goals as a professor is to conduct research that's "relevant to students, something they can be passionate about."
The flunitrazepam research drew applications from 25 potential student researchers at Doane. Juniors Liz Higgins of Lincoln and Kari Thompson of Milburn were selected. A grant from Nebraska EPSCoR/IDEA (experimental program to stimulate competitive research-National Science Foundation), paid for their salaries and supplies.
A Project Seed Grant from the American Chemical Society (ACS), along with a matching grant from the ACS Nebraska section, sponsored Crete High School senior Ana Castaneda's eight weeks of research on the project. Project Seed is intended to provide students the opportunity to do meaningful research -particularly students from ethnic groups underrepresented in science. Part two of the grant will sponsor eight additional weeks of research by Castaneda in the summer of 2007.
Holmes plans to apply for a continuation of the NSF-EPSCOR grant and continue research during the spring 2007 semester and summer. She also has applied for competitive funding through the NSF's CCLI grant program to add more research and instructional instruments to the department's instrument center.
In the meantime, she is busy writing and presenting her findings. The project created a "scientific buzz" at local and state-level research expos, she said. In late July, she will present her findings at the Rudjer Boskovic Institute Department of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry in Zagreb, Croatia.

Milos, do you mean something like this:
"Who says I am not under the special protection of God?"
-- Adolph Hitler --
"I trust God speaks through me."
-- George W. Bush --
Religious and Atheists know that man on man sexual intercourse is not a sickness but a personal choice and thats how it should be treated.
If so, then so is choosing to be heterosexual. Do you remember the day when you checked off the heterosexual box?
You got that backwards, church should no longer be involved in marriage. I know it was originally a religious thing, but times change and so should that.
Marriage was not originally a religious thing, they stole that too.
The issue is not what God would condemn, but what God would choose for us as the best choice for us.
Would a loving God choose "love" between a man and multiple female partners/spouses as the best choice, the one to aspire to, do you think?
Would a loving God condemn "love" between a man and a young teenage boy?
Absent a religious perspective based on a few thousand years of social experimentation and testing, how does one decide which "love" should be pursued, or tolerated, or condemned?
Possibly my own views summarize your statement above - I don't recognize states such as "good" or "bad," "right" or "wrong," as these are indefinable and as such, not quantifiable. I do find that the terms, "helpful" and "harmful" are.
Aside from which god and verifying that such a being exists - if we just shortcut and assume the god of your cult then he/it definitely saw polygamy and incest as viable choices.
RE: "a religious perspective based on a few thousand years of social experimentation and testing" - it has indeed been that, Bob, and overall, unless one is cherry-picking, it must be said that that perspective has been found seriously wanting.
And yet as theories go, remarkably successful. Far more successful than atheism.
Because the religious perspective tells us about heart warming love-stories about women marrying their rapists and getting taken as booty after war right? Yeah, atheism lacks that.
Quite likely because unlike religion, atheism neither has or seeks a power-base from which to enforce edicts for 2000 years. But are forced achievements really success?

Alfred v2.4 officially brings in OS X Yosemite compatibility and theming improvements, as well as some general improvements and bug fixes.
While Alfred has been working fine on Yosemite since the first OS X 10.10 beta, this latest release adds improvements and fixes the minor quirks some users have experienced in Yosemite.
Theming Improvements
We've made loads of theming improvements and have added two gorgeous Yosemite-style themes to the default selection of themes, with a light and a dark version using Helvetica Neue Light for a swish fresh look.
If you're a Powerpack user, you can customise the themes to get a slick semi-transparent background by turning down the opacity of the background and setting the new window blur option to medium in the Appearance Options.
Amongst the many other theming improvements, you can also now change when to show the result subtext, allowing you better control over how minimalist your theme is; Show the result subtext for the selected row or only for alternative actions.
Fuzzy Matching for File System Navigation
This new option makes browsing the file system even easier by introducing fuzzy matching; While browsing your file system navigation results, "CS" will bring up ColorSnapper or "GC" for Google Chrome. This setting is on by default and matches file results more loosely for a more natural search.
If you preferred the old bash/shell style navigation, you can turn off fuzzy matching in Alfred's Features > File Search > Navigation preferences.
Improvements to Workflows
Amongst the many workflow improvements, you'll find some useful new alfred_ environment variables when running scripts, which provide commonly required Alfred information. We've included more details on these variables in this support Knowledge Base.
We've also added support for proxies (http_proxy and https_proxy) and the proxy exception list. You can enable proxy support in Alfred's Advanced preferences.
Many more improvements and bug fixes
Have a look at the change log for the full list of improvements and fixes. And don't forget to update to v2.4 in-app through the Update tab or download it from our website.

I'm referring to the ranged combat section. Ace Combat Jets are far more agile than real life counterpart, and I'm not even talking about the superfighters. Nerfed missile notwithstanding.
Additional notes could be taken from Macross Plus movie.
The melee one however, is a lot murkier, possibly you need to mix gundam and dragonball. Or Nanoha.

@ Jak
Trying to salvage what little fun from headache and stress is the way of writing a fiction, original or otherwise
So what I can do for you?
@ Stratos
So the room is close to Ichika's
oh wait... assuming 10XX meant the first floor... nope, too far.
@ Demi
I always though that I.S. in flight mode are lighter than air (overcoming gravity), hence odd maneuver and why brute force is needed to reach high speed, too little inertia and too much drag.

Just be glad that you can write your fic...
I watched G.I. Joe Retaliation as an attempt to relax or get some ideas for my fic, but it really didn't do anything for me...
But one thing's for sure, I've decided to scrap Gears of Phantom (Gears of War 3 and Sword Art Online crossover). I just simply can't find a way to fit them both together.

Also drafting this part:
Spoiler for Lingyin:
Though I did say I'll be taking a hiatus, I never lifted my attention from Athena. I have a feeling that if I do, it'll sink again like before... One fic at a time, so to say.
Though that does not excuse bunnies from popping out all over my mind from time to time.

@jak: still trying to straighten out my brain as to how I want to approach the fourzeXIS. I really want to get that idea out before I continue cake eater. So no, I'm not doing well on my fic since I'm stuck trying to imagine cool fightscenes without Gentarou getting power-ups. 2.5 tons of punching force and 6.5 tons of kicking force won't really register to an IS. So he'd be spamming his 40 weapons all over the place just to scrape by. >.>
@zero: I think it's somewhat of a levitation mechanism mixed in with the anti-grav that lessens the unit weight so I doubt they are lighter than air. Though it is true that the lack of inertia and effect of drag requires them to burn thrusters more, I don't think they are paper light. If anything I'd imagine a giant baseball @_@ with its own laws of physics.

Let alone, any other scene that I might think of.

@jak: only blitz commented on Kyokugen if that makes you feel better. and he's rarely here at all . About Genta, he's a punk brawler. Methods aren't his strongest suit. So I was thinking of giving him a coach like he does in the series. Someone who drops hints and ideas to him as to how best tackle the current situation. Hmmm, then again I'm worried about lack of impact. But eventually I want to tie in the canon cast and Gentarou's powers. Just wondering how to implement it.

And I'm not any luckier. Though I wouldn't really blame people for ignoring mine since it's practically an OC-heavy AU fic so most of the characters are of my own.
Then again, this upcoming arc would involve ISA scenes more frequently.
Side note: Can one execute a missing-man formation with just two aircrafts?

I can't find any way to do that, really.
Missing man formation is done by four flyers, with one split away as a metaphor for being KIA, result in three flyers.
Likewise, two KIA, two flyers separating away, and so on...

Beast Wars somehow managed with three for Dinobot's funeral. But I guess two's just pushing it... I remember it being said somewhere that Lingyin threatened someone just to get the Class Rep title, is that canon?

Archive file
This article does not cite any sources. (May 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
An archive file is a file that is composed of one or more computer files along with metadata. Archive files are used to collect multiple data files together into a single file for easier portability and storage, or simply to compress files to use less storage space. Archive files often store directory structures, error detection and correction information, arbitrary comments, and sometimes use built-in encryption.
Archive files are particularly useful in that they store file system data and metadata within the contents of a particular file, and thus can be stored on systems or sent over channels that do not support the file system in question, only file contents – examples include sending a directory structure over email.
Beyond archival purposes, archive files are frequently used for packaging software for distribution, as software contents are often naturally spread across several files; the archive is then known as a package. While the archival file format is the same, there are additional conventions about contents, such as requiring a manifest file, and the resulting format is known as a package format. Examples include deb for Debian, JAR for Java, and APK for Android.
Features supported by various kinds of archives include file concatenation, data compression, encryption, file spanning, checksums, self-extraction, self-installation, source volume and medium information, directory structure information, package notes and description, and other metadata. The file extension or file header of the archive file are indicators of the file format used. Computer archive files are created by file archiver software, optical disc authoring software, and disk image software.
Archive formats[edit]
An archive format is the file format of an archive file. Some formats are well-defined by their authors and have become conventions supported by multiple vendors and communities.
- Archiving only formats only concatenate files.
- Compression only formats only compress files.
- Multi-function formats can concatenate, compress, encrypt, create error detection and recovery information, and package the archive into self-extracting and self-expanding files.
- Software packaging formats are used to create software packages that may be self-installing files.
- Disk image formats are used to create disk images of mass storage volumes.
Filename extensions used to distinguish different types of archives include zip, rar, 7z, and tar.
Java also introduced a whole family of archive extensions such as jar and war (j is for Java and w is for web). They are used to exchange entire byte-code deployment. Sometimes they are also used to exchange source code and other text, HTML and XML files. By default they are all compressed.
Error detection and recovery[edit]
Archive files often include parity checks and other checksums for error detection, for instance zip files use a cyclic redundancy check (CRC). RAR archives may include redundant error correction data (called recovery records).
Archive files are sometimes accompanied by separate parity archive (PAR) files that allow for additional error detection and recovery, particularly in recovery of missing files in a multi-file archive.

The test, which will take place at Dong Energy's demonstration site at Gunfleet Sands, southern England, will involve two turbines with 120-metre rotors.
Work on commissioning the turbines begun in January and the demonstration project is expected to start generating electricity in spring.
The €2.9 billion agreement covers 300 turbines that will be supplied to UK projects between 2014-17. In July, Dong handed Siemens a 1.8GW supply agreement for the 6MW turbine.
Speaking abut the Gunfleet Sands trial last month, Morten Buchgreitz, deputy chief executive of Dong said: "The Gunfleet Sands 3 demonstration project marks an important step in industry's efforts to reduce the cost of energy.
"The Round 3 projects in the UK are in deeper waters and will have a much bigger capacity than existing wind farms so the technology will increase in capacity as well.
"This demonstration project aligns with Dong's ambitions to steer development in the wind industry towards industrialisation to make offshore wind power even more competitive."

Paul W.S. Anderson Talks "Castlevania"
Posted: January 25th, 2007 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
Writer/producer/director, Paul WS Anderson, spoke to IGN about his upcoming big screen adaptation of the classic Konami game, "Castlevania." According to
, filming could start as early as this fall.
We are still finalizing the budget,
" Anderson said, "
but if all goes according to plan we are eyeing a fall/winter shoot in Transylvania and Hungary.
" The fall or winter shoot is planned, Anderson explained, because the production wants snow on the ground for the film's forest scenes.
He goes on to explain that Castlevania will be shot in Transylvania because it is the true birthplace of Vlad Tepes and the Dracula myth, and because of the natural landscape. "
It has some of the most amazing scenery I have ever seen. It was like discovering Mordor as a real location -- epic, dramatic, and above all scary. These locations haven't been shot properly in a mainstream movie, so that is always extra exciting... to put something on camera that hasn't been seen before.
Interior castle shots will be filmed in Budapest. "
They have the huge sound stages required for the labyrinthine castle sets that make up much of the movie,
" the filmmaker explained.
Anderson says that post production and effects work will be completed in London.

I'd suggest you download http://www.malwarebytes.org fully update it and run a full scan with it, then let it remove anything it finds.
I downloaded, and ran it, and it came back with 81 threats. Problem is, I'm no good at deciphering program code, so I let it remove them all, since they did say they were threats. Suddenly I was unable to get to any web sites, even though I was 'online'. I was notified that I couldn't connect to a proxy server, so apparently one of the "threats" had something to do with that, and I'd removed it. I called my phone company tech support and just after reading him the proxy server notice either my hair touched the phone in the wrong place or he hung up on me...and I didn't feel like going through the spiel with another tech so I went into my tools and stabbed about on my own, trying to fix it. Which, apparently I did. And today is the first time I've logged in on here, tho' I've been lurking tentatively.
All's good now, thanks.

COPPELL — When Jeffery Xiong first approached a chess board, he picked up the pieces and knocked them against each other, as if they were toys.
But the 4-year-old's eyes sparkled. His dad got him a chess set. Soon, he learned to play. Then he competed in tournaments.
A chess champion was born.
Today, Jeffery, who's 11, is a chess whiz. He is the No. 1-ranked 11-year-old chess player in the country. His ability rivals that of players at the University of Texas at Dallas, known for its chess program.
He beats kids at chess. He beats adults, too.
Jeffery is so talented that he could eventually be one of the world's best players, said his coach, Babakuli Annakov, who's a grandmaster, the highest title a chess player can earn.
"He's a fighter, and he never gives up," Annakov said. "He has the obvious chess talent, he has the time, and he loves the game."
Jeffery, a sixth-grader at Coppell Middle School North, plays chess practically every day — when he's not competing in tournaments or practicing with his coach, he's playing online.
His school has a chess club, but he doesn't participate. It's not enough of a challenge.
Jeffery doesn't compete against his family, either. He overtook his dad at chess long ago.
"It's hard to get a worthy opponent in this home," Jeffery said matter-of-factly. He sat in his family's living room, his trophies and medals resting above the fireplace.
His parents, sitting nearby, laughed.
"I'm a very worthy driver," said his dad, Wayne Xiong. "I'm his personal assistant. I get him food and drink" at tournaments.
Doesn't like to lose
Jeffery has competed in tournaments across the country, as well as in Canada, Greece and Brazil. He's participated in chess camps with Garry Kasparov, the chess guru.
At a chess tournament last month, Jeffery earned a four-year scholarship to UTD that includes tuition and other fees. Jeffery is an "extraordinary talent," said James Stallings, director of UTD's chess program.
Shawn Bartholomae, a chess player who's also CEO of Irving-based Prodigy Oil and Gas, provides financial support for Jeffery, as well as some of Annakov's other younger players, to help cover chess costs. Jeffery shows "unusual promise," Bartholomae said.
"When you see that type of talent, also paralleled with the determination that he has, this kid has potential," Bartholomae said. "When I looked at some of the games that he played, I saw creativity that I had never seen. I was like, 'Wow, that is really impressive.'"
The kind words flatter Jeffery. They motivate him, too.
"It definitely encourages me to play," Jeffery said. "If they think I have the talent, then I will definitely play more."
Jeffery suspects he's good at chess because he enjoys it so much. He likes that chess requires having a strategy. That fuels his creativity as he ponders his next move on the board. It also challenges his mind.
"Enjoying it helps me work at it," he said. "I get to work at something I like."
Plus, he likes to win. And win he does.
When he's victorious, he doesn't rub it in. But inside, he bursts with pride, especially if he scored a come-from-behind victory.
Jeffery admits he doesn't like to lose.
"I feel very disappointed," he said.
He's gracious in defeat and remains calm at the chess table. But when he leaves, sometimes he'll cry.
"I tell him that it's OK," his father said. "The key is not to give up. The key is to have mental toughness. And learn" from the loss.
After a game, Jeffery heads to a computer that tracked his game so he can analyze his moves.
Jeffery handles defeat much better than other competitors, including adults.
During one tournament, he said, a "very old guy who wasn't too bad at chess" lost to Jeffery. He wasn't happy. He knocked over his pieces and stormed out of the playing hall.
The good news, Jeffery said, is that no one has hit him.
Future grandmaster?
Wayne Xiong insists he's not forcing his son to play chess. Annakov, the coach, agrees. Jeffery's desire to play comes from within, his father said.
"I knew chess was a very intellectual game and I really only see positive impacts from chess," Xiong said.
When Jeffery is away from the chessboard, he enjoys playing basketball and watching sports on TV. He's a fan of Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki.
Recently, he took up playing pingpong with his dad.
"I'm trying to figure out a way to beat him," Jeffery said. "Right now, that's the only thing that he's much better at than me."
Jeffery would like to become a grandmaster by the time he's 20.
He hopes to pursue a math-related career. Maybe he'll be a banker or engineer.
For now, he doesn't plan to make chess a full-time gig. But he'll keep his skills fresh.
"If I'm ever in trouble," he said, "I can always win money by playing tournaments."

Zankou 2.0 wrote:Twilight is good, but it's far from literature.
Wholeheartedly agree. Good, but not worth the craze. No substantial meaning, either. I also agree that 1984 should be considered literature, though i don't share this groups' views on Fahrenheit 451. Fabulous book.
Who knows how many people here have even read this, but House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski remains the greatest book ever written (in my opinion).
Also, i feel as if Finnegans Wake would be an incredible read, if it were actually "readable".

While Google is currently basking in an Android smartphone sales spike, even beating iPhone sales for the first time last quarter, the advertising giant is losing ground to Apple on a critical front: mobile advertising, reports IDC.
IDC told BusinessWeek that Apple is on pace to end the year with 21 percent of the mobile advertising market. It's an amazing feat, considering that Apple didn't sell mobile ads last year. Apple's iAd advertising platform for the iPhone and iPod touch debuted only a couple of months ago.
Google's mobile ad market share slipped from 27 percent last year to 21 percent this year, according to IDC. These figures include revenue from AdMob, the ad network Google bought in May to the chagrin of Apple, which was reportedly interested in AdMob. Meanwhile, Microsoft's market share will drop to 7 percent from 10 percent last year, IDC estimates.
Smaller competitors are trying to make a splash with their own ad networks. Jumptap's market share is on the rise, from 10 percent last year to 13 percent this year, reports IDC. Millennial Media's share may climb a couple points to 11 percent this year.
At stake is a virtual pot of gold. IDC says that the market for mobile advertising in the United States may more than double to almost $500 million in 2010. And it's only the beginning for a market in its relative infancy, which is why the landscape for mobile ad networks (as well as acquisitions of ad networks) has resembled a kind of boom town.
As the market heats up, Google and Apple are working on new features for their advertising platforms. For instance, Apple has been hyping the future of a richly interactive ad experience complete with videos and games.
But is Apple's 21 percent market share in mobile advertising a win? After all, Apple CEO Steve Jobs predicted at the World Wide Developers Conference in June that iAd will take half of the mobile advertising market this year.
To be fair, a case can be made that iAd has taken half the mobile advertising spend since its launch in July. More importantly, the year isn't over yet. iAd will make its debut on the hot-selling iPad in November.

Pregnant British royal Catherine, Duchess Of Cambridge has reportedly dropped a huge hint she is expecting a daughter.
The expectant Duchess appeared to suggest the sex of her unborn baby in an unguarded moment during her visit to Grimsby, England, on Tuesday.
As local Diana Burton handed her a teddy bear, the Duchess reportedly told her, "Thank you, I will take that for my d…" before stopping herself, prompting another well-wisher to ask her if she was about to say "daughter."
The mother-to-be, who is five months pregnant, is said to have replied, "No, we don't know! We're not telling!"
The Duchess did disclose to the crowd that her baby has been kicking "very much."
