Skip to comments.Mirecki hospitalized after beating (KU Relig. prof. who mocked religion)
Posted on 12/05/2005 8:13:08 PM PST by Will_Zurmacht

Whatever Mirecki got wasn't bad enough.
I guess you had to see the skit to appreciate it.
Another victim of God Placemarker.
It was just an expression. Of course the libs are not in their right mind. Frankly, I'm starting to be concerned about a few on here, too.
I see where you're coming from. I tend to misunderestimate the capacity for folks to take absurd propositions and treat them seriously. If someone cannot recognize the sarcasm in those posts without the presence of an /s tag, my confidence in human communication will be minorly diminished in a major way.
Another Christian misleading for God.
Fester, I wondered if you were joking, and read the right way I don't find your original post about hiding in the bushes too dreadful. A little tasteless, but tastelessness can be the funniest thing.
The problem is that from where some of us are standing much creationist output in these threads reads like a parody, including yours. So we find it hard to tell the difference between your serious output and your humorous output. The /s tags are genuinely required.
For example when I first came across a creationist who openly approved of slavery I assumed that he was joking. It took a while for it to sink in that he was deadly serious.
For those familiar with the vehement nature displayed in your posting history, it is not too much of a stretch to assume sincerity in your recent comments on this subject.
Interesting position. Do you consider yourself to be a Christian?
Absurd propositions placemarker
LOL. Thats a new one.

Come on everybody, he wasn't badly damaged. It's time to laugh, especially for those who are particularly vitriolic.
Come on, Mamz, put your money where your mouth is for once. Post your "evidence".
I realize it was just an expression. It was just a weak attempt at humor on my part. No offense, I hope.
WWJD? Hit 'em Again, For The Love of God!
I did see the skit. The skit was funny though. Therein lies the difference. :)
There is indeed magic fruit, but generally yeast must be involved somewhere.
You're right, of course. Since the insult brigade has seen fit to take this one over like all the others, count me out of this one.
I like them both, but I think we should also add the approprite rag with them.
My first would be the Boston Hearald.
Antonello - How about the Washington Post?
HMBA (is that a Harvard MBA? - Hhhhmmmmm??) - New York Post?
Now, what rag would that come from?
My last could be from the Hamtramck News.
WorldNet Daily, without a doubt, though Agape Press might carry it too.
I like it. Maybe he should reinstall the course. The sympathy factor should increase enrollment.
I'm with you. I think this was staged for sympathy or to malign Creationists.
However... in an Islamofascist culture, this guy would have been publicly filleted for heresy. MUSLIMS BELIEVE IN CREATION. Praise God our founders believed in "Freedom" OF (not FROM) religion.
They want to create enough noise to tempt RINOs in office to shun the rightward religious--just keep screaming the same thing long enough, they hope, and they'll chip off some political support. Create enmity--win an election.
Maybe that would explain a few things...
Wonder if there'll be an interview of our victim-of-the-day on O'Reilly--Oprah?
"Who wants to take bets that this turns out to be phony?"
No bets here, either.
"described as two white males between ages 30 and 40, one wearing a red visor and wool gloves, and both wearing jeans. They were last seen in a large pickup truck."
This seems to have been lifted from the "Easy Rider" script.
Hatrack, was your grandpa a fish?
And there is a crazy deranged liberal secular humanist professor at Princeton
who advocates essentially Nazi eugenic ideas for murdering children.
Can it get much crazier than that?
These are not exactly the most emotionally well-balanced people on the planet.
Liberal secular humanists say and do VERY deranged and insane things.
Being firm in one's convictions and expressing them vehemently is one thing. Advocating, or rejoicing in, a forced molecular rearrangement of a deluded professor is another. As one who is accountable before almighty God for my attitudes and actions, I am reasonably comfortable in recognizing moral repugnancies. At the same time I am puzzled to find moral outrage on the part of those who advocate anything but almighty God as present and active in the creation. Hence I was only stooping to their level in declaring that this incident is merely "nature taking its course." Incidentally, I believe if you look at the professor's original words you will not find a sarcasm tag attached or implied.
LOL! And what the heck is a red visor??
Yeah. Wonder if there was a shotgun in the gun-rack, a hound in the truck-bed, Elvis playing on the 8-track, a Bush bumper sticker, King James Bible on the dashboard, and one of their pregnant sister/wives keeping the engine running?
I guess he (they) must mean a ball cap. Red--for red state redneck. Red pickup truck. We've got to fill all the particulars.
This thread is an embarrassment to FR.
Another Christian misleading for God.
You know it doesn't count if they lie to infidels....
"See a Christian would never act in this manner, there is a Book that defines what is acceptable and what is NOT, and this does not fit a Christian profile."
Unfortunately, this Christian has seen many a hateful Christian who do exactly this sort of thing. Even a few that would blow up abortionists in the name of Christ.
Just because they are saved means little; we're all still works in progress.

Today we introduce the Purple Election Perspective. This monthly snapshot will provide a bipartisan look at key indicators for 2012.
In our first edition, we focus on critical economic and opinion data points that will set the national political terrain for the upcoming cycle. We also add essential context – comparison data for other incumbents over the last eight cycles.
At this early stage, President Obama finds himself facing an extremely difficult political environment as he ramps up his re-election campaign. Nearly every indicator – economic and opinion – puts him in a poor position relative to other successful incumbents.
It is important to emphasize that it is premature to make predictions – and as you'll see in this month's Purple Election Perspective, other incumbents have seen dramatic improvements during their re-election year.
Enjoy, and let us know if you have any thoughts or comments (email@example.com).

Bank of Valletta (BOV) is Maltese bank and financial services company with headquarters in Santa Venera. It is oldest established financial services provider in Malta and one of the largest. As of 2014 the bank had 44 branches, 6 regional business centres, a head office, and a wealth management arm located around the Maltese Islands.[2] It has representative offices in Australia (in Victoria), Belgium (in Brussels), Libya (in Tripoli) and Italy (in Milan).

With the advent of British rule in Malta, a group of English and Maltese merchants set up the first commercial bank in the first decade of the nineteenth century during the governance of Civil Commissioner Sir Alexander John Ball. The Anglo-Maltese Bank commenced operations on 23 June 1809 in the 'Commercial Rooms', then also known as 'Le Stanze', on the ground floor of the University of Studies in Strada Mercanti, Valletta. These Commercial Rooms had a separate access from 113, Strada S. Paolo. The first Cassiere (Cashier) and General Manager of the Anglo-Maltese Bank was the Maltese John Vella and its President was William Higgins, an Englishman who set up business in Malta soon after the publication of the Order of His Majesty in Council of 15 March 1809. This Order in Council had given Malta an especially favoured status for trading in the Mediterranean. At the same time, it decreed that two thirds of the cargo on ships leaving Malta was to be of British origin or imported from British dominions and that one third of the crew had to be composed of British subjects.
The Banco di Malta, established on 1 May 1812 and operating from 59, Strada S. Domenico saw George Thomas Jackson as President and Agostino Portelli as Vice President. Thomas Jackson had settled in Malta prior to the Order in Council of March 1809 and had become a prominent member of the English mercantile community on the island where in 1812, the importation of British goods had risen to Stg 5,000,000 and amounted to twenty five percent of the total exports to Europe. Agostino Portelli later founded the Chamber of Commerce and was elected President of the Chamber from 1848 to 1851. He was also appointed Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George in 1850.
The third bank to be set up was B. Tagliaferro e Figli founded also in 1812. This bank, operating from 106 Strada S. Giovanni belonged wholly to Biagio Tagliaferro, a Genoese merchant who had a thriving ship chandelling business and had his own ships engaged principally in the transhipment of grain from Crimean ports. Josef Scicluna et Fils, another bank set up in 1830, with premises at 122, Strada Teatro, was owned by a prominent family of merchants involved in the importation of grain and other merchandise.
For a very long time the Maltese Banks and the mercantile community were burdened with a confused currency and a complicated monetary system. During the early years of British rule the legal circulating currency medium in Malta included the remaining coins of the Order of St. John, which relinquished the island to Napoleon in 1798 as well as Sicilian and Spanish silver coins.
To this potpourri of coins, the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury in London added their own coins and in subsequent years introduced or allowed other foreign coins such as Mexican, South American and Hungarian Dollars to circulate in Malta. Steps for the regularisation of the local monetary system were first taken in June 1825, when British Copper and Silver coins were declared legal tender and the copper coins of the Order were withdrawn. Gold Sovereigns and Half Sovereigns were introduced in 1826. British silver currency, however, was then wholly unserviceable in operations with the markets of the Mediterranean, where the preferred coins, like the Spanish and Sicilian dollars, had a corresponding value in proportion to their weight of fine silver. Consequently, although Government Departments after December 1825 had been ordered and actually began to keep their accounts in Sterling, the Banks and the merchants, for a long time continued to conduct their transactions in Maltese currency (Scudo, Tari' and Grani).
Moreover, the Anglo Maltese Bank and the Banco di Malta, soon after they were established, began to issue their own promissory banknotes (payable at sight) at first in Scudi denominations and subsequently in Sterling. Although these notes were not accepted by Government, they were widely accepted and recognised by the public and the mercantile community, even though these notes were not guaranteed by the shareholders of the Banks. Although the British Government demonetised all foreign coins and British currency was established as the only legal tender, the Sicilian Dollar continued to dominate the circulating medium until their final withdrawal in 1886 when, by an Order in Council, British coins became definitely the sole legal currency in Malta.
In 1857, the Anglo-Maltese Bank and the Banco di Malta moved their offices to the ground floor of the newly erected Exchange Buildings in Strada Reale. Apart from these two Banks, B Tagliaferro e Figli and Josef Scicluna et Fils, a number of other Banks including James Bell & Company and the Anglo Egyptian Banking Company Limited were set up in Malta before the end of the nineteenth century. However, it was the first aforementioned four pioneers of banking in Malta who subsequently merged. The two oldest banks, the Anglo Maltese Bank and the Banco di Malta, were amalgamated in January 1946 under the name National Bank of Malta with Comm. Antonio Cassar-Torreggiani OBE as Chairman. In 1949, Sciclunas Bank was affiliated to the newly established Bank which, twelve years later, moved to a new Head Office at 45, Kingsway, Valletta. In 1969 ninety per cent of the private bank of B. Tagliaferro & Sons, then operating under the name of Tagliaferro Bank Limited, was bought by the National Bank of Malta.
As one of the leading financial institutions, the National Bank of Malta[3] made a rapid expansion in branch network and provided more banking facilities to an ever increasing number of customers as well as financing a number of large projects initiated during the extremely difficult post Independence period.
In 1973, following a run on the National Bank and its subsidiary Tagliaferro Bank, the Government intervened and a three-man council of administration was appointed after Parliament passed the 'National and Tagliaferro Banks (Temporary Provision) Act 1973'. On 22 March 1974 the Prime Minister announced the setting up of the Bank of Valletta. The new Bank, which took over the assets and liabilities of the National Bank Group, commenced operations on 25 March 1974. The Government, injected Lm3.3 million (equivalent to €7.7 million) into the new Bank and obtained controlling interest by retaining sixty per cent of the capital. The balance (40%) was taken up by the Malta Development Corporation which, in turn, sold twenty per cent to the Banco di Sicilia and ten per cent to the Maltese public. In 1986, the Bank inaugurated its first overseas representative office.
In 1990, the Government's stake in the Bank was reduced to 51.2% as 4.9 million shares were issued and offered to the public. In the same year, following the amendments to the Banking Act 1970 (Act No. XXVI of 1990) whereby Banks were allowed to establish their own long term lending subsidiary, Bank of Valletta launched its fully owned investment bank - the subsidiary Valletta Investment Bank.
In 1992, Bank of Valletta International Limited started operating. This wholly owned International banking subsidiary of the Bank of Valletta Group was Malta's first Offshore Bank. 1992 was also the year when Bank of Valletta became the first bank to be listed on the Malta Stock Exchange.
Bank of Valletta p.l.c. was the first banking institution in Malta to take up the opportunities that were created as a result of the 1994 Financial Services legislation by setting up Valletta Fund Management Limited ("VFM") in 1995. This Company is jointly owned by Bank of Valletta p.l.c and Insight Investment Management Limited, one of the UK's largest asset managers. VFM has throughout the years launched a wide range of domestic and international investment funds providing income and growth opportunities in the world's capital markets offering clients a varied range of investment solutions. VFM is licensed by the Malta Financial Services Authority ("MFSA") to provide Investment Services Business for Collective Investment Schemes in Malta and to operate as a "Maltese Company" pursuant to the Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securies regulations ("UCITS").
In September 2000, BOV set up its stockbroking arm, namely BOV Stockbrokers Limited ("BOVSL"). Bank of Valletta International Limited, Valletta Investment Bank Limited, Card Services Limited and BOVSL were merged within Bank of Valletta p.l.c. The Bank has also implemented a relationship banking strategy where more focus is being placed on customer requirements. Significant investment has gone into introducing state-of-the-art information technology such as internet, telephone and mobile banking.
BOV continued to consolidate its internationalisation strategy through the opening of other representative offices in the Euro-Mediterranean region, though it closed the representative offices in Cairo and Tunis in 2011.
Through its Investment Banking Unit, the Bank has been very active on the capital markets. In December 2003, BOV acted as manager, underwriter, registrar and paying agent for the first European Investment Bank Lm10 million (equivalent to €23.3 million) bond issue. With Malta's accession into the European Union, Bank of Valletta has become an active member of the European Savings Banks Group. Meanwhile, in August 2006 the Bank set up a fully-fledged Trustee Services Unit.[4] On 6 October 2006, BOV announced the setting up of a new subsidiary company - Valletta Fund Services Limited- which is in the fund administration business.[5]
On 9 January 2014 a Maltese court found that the shareholders of the National Bank of Malta had suffered human rights abuses when being forced to sign away their shares for zero compensation. The assets and liabilities were handed to the Bank of Valletta by the Government of Malta.[6]
On 6 February 2014 a Maltese court again found that shareholders of the National Bank of Malta had their rights violated when their assets were taken by the Government of Malta. Today these assets form part of Bank of Valletta.[7]
The Constitutional Court of Malta has now confirmed the judgements of the previous courts and thrown out the appeal by the Maltese government meaning that shareholders are able to negotiate a compensation package which is likely to involve Bank of Valletta shares.[8]
Bank ATMs[edit]
Customers have access to automated teller machines (ATMs) around Malta and Gozo. The BOV DRIVE-THROUGH ATM was installed in 2010, the first in the islands, enabling customers to transact banking services from their car.[9][10]
Virtual Cards[edit]
Bank of Valletta, has issued Ixaris Systems Ltd with Ixaris MasterCards and Visa Cards[11] after which in 2003, the founders of Ixaris Systems, Ltd, a creator and operator of transaction-based financial services, recognized the need for an easy electronic payment solution that would offer everyone the ability to pay online and offline regardless of their location or credit-worthiness [12] and so EntroPay was introduced as a safe and convenient way to pay wherever VISA was accepted.

When Peter Hall founded the RSC in 1961, one of his guiding principles was that Shakespeare should be presented in dynamic, mutually illuminating relation to new playwrights. Harold Pinter was the linchpin of this policy. So, as the company celebrates its 50th birthday, it's fitting that it should programme a major revival of one the classic Pinter plays premiered under its auspices – even if the Swan Theatre, with its thrust stage and stacked, horse-shoe-shaped seating is an awkward space for such an intrinsically proscenium arch drama as The Homecoming (1965).
Charlene Wittstock will go from Olympic swimmer to princess when she marries Albert of Monaco tomorrow. But tales of a last-minute bolt suggest that life among the scandalous Grimaldis is no fairytale, says Alistair Dawber
Crystal Harris "didn't feel comfortable" knowing Hugh Hefner had other women in his life.
The Slutwalk business has had repercussions. Men and women have been squaring up to each other all over the place. At a literary salon on Saturday night, a young woman whom I'd never met before waved her cigarette at me and said: "Why do you wear all those rings? Are you gay or something?" to which I replied, "No, I just like personal adornment."
The Saturday Column
Holly Madison would consider posing for Playboy again.
As one British star used the Golden Globes to bolster his reputation for charm and dignity, another was intent on pricking as many egos as possible.
One of the most successful British rock bands of all time, with worldwide sales of over 100 million albums, Deep Purple wouldn't have existed or lasted without the guidance, the foresight and the finance provided by Tony Edwards, who managed them between 1967 and 1976.
Playboy's attempts to win over Indonesian readers have ended in protests and prison. Here, though, it's business as usual, says Ian Burrell
The founder of 'Penthouse' has died aged 79. Andy McSmith tells the story of the man who brought pornography to the masses
When Hugh Hefner announced back in the early sixties that his Playboy bunnies were coming to London, there were howls of derision from some detractors who prophesied that Britain would never fall for the fluffy-tailed hostesses in the way that America had.
A hugely muscled barbarian brandishes a broadsword, defending an impossibly nubile maiden from some hideous enemy: Frank Frazetta's cover paintings for the paperback editions of Conan the Barbarian captured the essence of heroic fantasy, and were credited with turning Robert E Howard's pulp magazine stories into a best-selling franchise that eventually spawned the Arnold Schwarzenegger films.
It's now 50 years since the first Playboy Bunnies donned their tails, waggled their ears and performed the strange contortion known as the Bunny Dip to serve drinks to their suit-and-tie-wearing customers. When the original Playboy Club opened in Chicago in 1960, the ideal customer was "somebody with money and taste", as Hugh Hefner, the brand's now 84-year-old founder, tells me raspingly from his LA mansion. And he got such beaux sabreurs in droves to the Chicago, New York, London and myriad other Playboy establishments that were to follow. The Bunnies and what he calls their "clean, healthy, girl-next-door beauty" were, of course, the come-on – and, according to Hefner, the most crucial decision he made was to add collars and cuffs to their uniform: "Before that," he declares, "it looked like a bathing suit; they gave it elegance."
The Hollywood sign has been spared from urban sprawl and will stand unobscured to welcome future actors, writers and Austrian bodybuilders, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said.
Cherie Currie's knickers changed the course of popular music history. When, in 1976, she appeared on stage in a basque, fishnet stockings and her pants, which might have been the standard attire if you're handing out cocktails at a Brewer Street clip joint but not so much if you were a 16-year-old girl straight out of a high school in Encino, she prematurely and unknowingly fired the starting gun in a sexual arms race which has dominated pop ever since.

We recently brought you the Facebook teaser images of TVS new Apache, which was followed by spy images of the new motorcycle. From the images we could make out the cosmetic uplift of the new motorcycle, though there was no hint of the power plant upgrades.
Finally, the cover has blown, and TVS officially launches the 2012 Apache series and it calls the new Apache twins as 'Beast Themed Styling'. The entire 2012 Apache series will receive the cosmetic updates, including the RTR 160, RTR 180 and RTR 180 ABS.
From the initial Facebook teaser images, it appeared that the Chennai-based two-wheeler manufacturer has employed new fairing for the Apache with twin headlamps. We were not completely wrong, as the new beast gets a restyled headlamp fairing with new pilot lamps and LED illumination. As referred by one of the officials, ' these one-of-its kind pilot lamps, inspired by the 'eye of fury', consists of LED light guide technology combined with new pilot lamps to form a pair of intense animalistic eyes that is activated on ignition, night or day.'
The Apache also receives restyled fuel tank with a more aerodynamic and aggressive appeal. It also sports air vents, which the company claims to improve the engine cooling, improving its performance and response. On the top, the Apache receives new instrument cluster with sporty styling and faux carbon fiber inserts as previously suggested in the spy images. Coming from a racing heritage, the new Apache gets restyled seat cowls and sporty engine cowl.
The Apache also gets new two-tone color theme with splash paint effect. For the Apache RTR 160, the paint scheme includes yellow/grey and green/red, with black as base color; while the Apache RTR 180 is offered in while, black, yellow and grey. The ABS version is available in while and black.
In terms of performance, the 2012 TVS Apache RTR 160 churns out 15.2 PS peak power and can push up to 118 kmph. The Apache RTR 180 pumps out 17.03 PS peak power and can reach up to 124 kmph speeds.
The prices as per ex-showroom Delhi are:
- TVS Apache RTR 160 Rs 67,505
- TVS Apache RTR 180 Rs 72,090
- TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS Rs 82,780

For the first time in our history, a woman joins the Technical Committee. Congratulations, Marga, and thanks for volunteering.
After a long journey that lasted almost three years, the use of FreeDesktop entries is now documented in our Policy.
An as a bonus, this new version 3.9.8 of the Policy also reminds that new media types should be registered to the IANA.
Thanks to everybody who made this possible.
Step by step, one slips towards the bottom:
- One should be blunt with those who are wrong.
- One is blunt when one is right.
- When one thinks to be right, one is blunt.
- One is wrong and blunt.
Let's note anyway that one can slip to the bottom without being vulgar or insulting. In any large project like Debian, one can find people who know how to be very oppressive, while keeping a very "correct" communication style. Debian is a broad project, and it is easy to avoid them, unless one tries make contributions that can be related to keywords like "committee", "code", "policy", "delegation", etc. In that case, it is better to retrieve the good old thick skin from the cupboard where we stored it after our code of conduct was adopted...
Debian published Jessie last month. Big congratulations to the release team and all the contributors; quality is again at the rendez-vous!
This time, I could not contribute much, being busy with parental activities (hello my son, if you read me), apart from making sure that my packages are ready for the D Day. This work was made easy by the automated removals of buggy packages set up by the release team. Many thanks for that development.
I hope to use Jessie for a long time without the need of upgrading to Testing. At the moment, it provides everything I need, including the input of Japanese characters together with the possibility to switch between Japanese (or American) and multilingual Canadian keyboard layouts, which was not easy to do anymore in Wheezy.
Many thanks again.
The package
mime-support is installed by default on Debian
systems. It has two roles: first to provide the file
/etc/mime.types that
associates media types (formerly called MIME types) to suffixes of file
names, and second to provide the
mailcap system that associates
media types with programs. I adopted this package at the
end of the development cycle of Wheezy.
Changes since Wheezy.
The version distributed in Jessie brings a few additions in
/etc/mime.types. Among them,
which as their name suggest describe two file formats designed by Debian. I
registered these types to the
which is more open to the addition of new types since the
The biggest change is the automatic extraction of the associations between
programs and media types that are declared in the menu files in FreeDesktop
Before, it was the maintainer of the Debian package who had to extract this
information and translate it in mailcap format by hand. The automation is
done via
dpkg triggers.
A big thank you to Kevin Ryde who gave me a precious help for the
developments and corrections to the
run-mailcap program, and to all the
Your help is always welcome!
Security updates.
In December, Debian has been contacted by Timothy D. Morgan, who found that
an attacker could get
run-mailcap to execute commands by inserting them in
file names
This first security update for me went well, thanks to the help and
instructions of Salvatore Bonaccorso from the Security team. The problem is
solved in Wheezy, Jessie and Sid, as well as in Squeeze through its
long term support.
One of the consequences of this security update is that
run-mailcap will
systematically use the absolute path to the files to open. For harmless
files, this is a bit ugly. This will perhaps be improved after Jessie is
Future projects
The file
/etc/mime.types is kept up to date by hand; this is slow and
inefficient. The package
shared-mime-info contains similar
information, that could be used to autogenerate this file, but that would
require to parse a XML source that is quite complex. For the moment, I am
considering to import Fedora's
mailcap package, where
the file
/etc/mime.types is very well kept up to date. I have not yet
decided how to do it, but maybe just by moving that file from one package to
the other. In that case, we would have the
mime-support package that
would provide
mailcap support, and the package whose source is Fedora's
mailcap package who would provide
/etc/mime.types. Perhaps it will be
better to use clearer names, such as
mailcap-support for the first and
media-types for the second?
Separating the two main functionalities of
mime-support would have an
interesting consequence: the possibility of not installing the support for
the mailcap system, or to make it optional, and instead to use the
FreeDesktop sytem (
xdg-open), from the package
Something to keep in mind...
apt install nodejs-legacy if you want
npm install to work.
I recently realised that one can browse the archives of debian-private via SSH. I find this a good compromise between subscription and ignorance. Here is for instance the command for November.
ssh -t master.debian.org mutt -f /home/debian/archive/debian-private/debian-private.201411
In 2009 I called for a general resolution regarding membership procedures in Debian, to block a change that, in my opinion, was going against our values. Results, even if they satisfied the majority came with a bitter feeling and it became questioned whether a better solution could have been reached without using a constraining procedure. I did not think so, but not to the point of not having doubts about it, and therefore, regrets.
This year, we are again having a vote related to a change that some people think it goes against our values, and again the existence of this vote makes it hard to find compromises. Bitterness will win whatever the result is. For the avoidance of doubt, I have proposed the amendment number 3, stating that this general resolution should not have been started.
I hope that this amendment will defeat the original proposition and will make people think twice before pressing Debian's alarm button next time.
PS: amendment 3, that is amendment C, that is choice 4. If there was a need for an example that the procedure is complex, here it is...
I eventually answered to the Public Consultation on the review of the EU copyright rules. As a coincidence, the radio was playing European Super State, from Killing Joke.
One can see in the consultation the picture of an Internet shaped to better control the diffusion and copy of non-free works, and monitor for possible infractions. It is therefore important to answer and remind primacy of the presumption of innocence, and the importance of the respect of privacy.
Nevertheless, I also asked for reducing exceptions of copyrights, because to give a temporary access to non-free works at zero cost has the consequence of reducing the incentive for creating alternatives that can be copied, modified and redistributed freely.
This morning when preparing the update of a package, and I saw a PNG file in
its documentation. Even before opening it, I felt old, tired, distressed
and unable to escape the situation. Inspecting the file confirmed that the
image was not hand made. The source file is missing. The proof: anther
image in the same directory has the same style and a SVG source. To make
things worse, there are no instructions on how to generate the PNG from the
SVG. More and more in these cases, I give up and abandon the package. I
lost time and energy make Upstream some requirements for which I personally
have no concrete interest. SVG in addition to PNG is better, but PNG alone
for the documentation of a Free software is Free enough for me. However,
the points of view expressed on
debian-devel give me the impression that
it is not good enough for Debian, so I just give up…

2008 Do We Have a Winner?
posted by August 22 at 16:28 PMon
After weeks of speculation and days of intense rumors, the answer to who Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would name as his running mate may have come down to a bumper sticker printed in Lenexa.
KMBC's Micheal Mahoney reported that the company, which specializes in political literature, has been printing Obama-Bayh material. That's Bayh as in U.S. Sen. Evan Bayh of Indiana. Word leaked out about the material as it was being printed up by Gill Studios of Lenexa….
Gill Studios would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either.

H-T picks Gray as a HR director
Published: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 9:14 p.m.
Keisha Gray, manager of human resources at the Herald-Tribune Media Group for the past two years, has been promoted to director of the department.
Gray, 36, who joined the Herald-Tribune in May 2011, will now oversee all human resources work for the roughly 250-employee organization.
Before joining the Herald-Tribune, Gray worked in Spartanburg, S.C., where she oversaw personnel matters at three news organizations in the Carolinas: The Spartanburg Herald-Journal; The Times-News in Hendersonville, N.C., and The Dispatch in Lexington, N.C.
In Sarasota, Gray replaces Kristin Houston, who left the Herald-Tribune earlier this month to become director of human resources for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFL football team.
"Keisha has proven herself as an excellent human resources professional over the years, and I am very happy she has accepted the role as our new director," Herald-Tribune publisher Patrick Dorsey said.
"She is very well respected throughout our organization, and it is a great example to have someone work so hard and achieve promotion from within our operation."
The Herald-Tribune Media Group, which is owned by the Daytona Beach-based Halifax Media Group, is the dominant media company in the Bradenton-Sarasota-Venice area, the state's fifth largest metropolitan area.
"I'm really looking at investing in the people that we have here," Gray said.
"I've had spectacular role models, like Kristin. There is no one who understood organizational development and strategic planning better."

The choreograph and director is celebrating his 20th anniversary as head of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo on 11 December 2013.
On 11 December 2013, the Princess Grace Academy is offering a "Surprise Evening" in the Salle Garnier at the Monte-Carlo Opera.
The evening is being organized by Luca Masala, based on Jean-Christophe MAILLOT's repertoire, to mark his 20th anniversary as head of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo.
The main person concerned knows nothing at all about the content and an order has been given not to reveal anything … Jean-Christophe's repertoire, which is often described as "unclassifiable," is characterized by being at the crossroads of various influences and has built many bridges between classical and contemporary dance.
This repertoire is a valuable teaching aid for pupils of the Princess Grace Academy who hope to join this type of professional company, as it requires them to show great versatility and calls upon both their technique and their skill as a performer.
Wednesday 11 December, at 8.30 p.m., Salle Garnier, Opéra de Monte-Carlo: Surprise Evening in honor of Jean-Christophe MAILLOT by the Princess Grace Academy.

Dancing Toward Her Dream
Dancing Toward Her Dream
Would a 61-year-old dare to compete in the country-western dance world championship?
Here I was, standing on the dance floor in my white cowboy boots, ready to compete at the 2012 United Country Western Dance Council World Championships. Me! I still couldn't believe it! And not because I was 61 years old (well, that too, I guess).
No, I once dreamed of being a dancer. My mom even said I danced before I could walk. What happened? Life happened, that's what. And I don't regret any of my choices. My blessings have been rich. But when I decided to try dancing again a few years earlier, my dream had nearly been crushed for good.
It was December 2008 and I was watching a Christmas Showcase—a variety of dance performances—put on by Sandy's Dance Center in Shreveport, where I was taking ballroom dance classes to learn some new steps.
The school's dancers were partnered with professionals, and their moves were so impressive that it was all I could do not to get out there with them.
"This is fantastic!" I said to a friend sitting next to me. "I'm going to ask my teacher how I can get in on the next showcase."
"Merry," she said, turning toward me, "the professionals are picky about who they work with...and, well, you're just not good enough."
Her tone was gentle but her words stung like a slap in the face. I had never doubted my talent before.
Back in my hometown of Victoria, Texas, I was pirouetting in my tutu by the time I was eight. Soon I was taking jazz and tap and performing in recitals. When the audience erupted in applause, I just knew I belonged out there. Dancing brought me more joy than I'd ever known. It was truly a gift.
At Kilgore College I majored in math and made the famed Kilgore Rangerettes precision dance team. Being a Rangerette boosted my confidence and fueled my passion for dance, but making a career out of it just didn't seem practical.
After graduation I was offered a good job as a high school math teacher. Well, I decided, dancing is God's gift, for sure. But that doesn't mean I have to make my living at it. I would still find some way to dance.
Over the years, though, dancing took a backseat to marriage, working and raising three kids. I longed to perform again, to feel that indescribable joy it brought me. But I hardly had time to even think about it, let alone take a class.
It wasn't until 2008, two years after I'd retired from teaching, that it hit me: My dream had been left behind for 40 years! I was 59 years old, divorced, and my kids were grown. I was free to dance again.
Later that year I moved to Shreveport, Louisiana, to be near Alan, the man I'd fallen in love with. I fell in love with Shreveport's colorful dance scene too, and signed up for ballroom classes at Sandy's.
From my first practice it was as if I'd never stopped. And sitting there in the studio, watching the Christmas Showcase, I'd felt so sure I could join it the following year. Then I'd heard those words: "You're just not good enough."
At dinner that night, I talked to Alan. "Honey, is she right?" I asked. "Be honest with me."
"Merry, you've got real talent," he said, "and a dream big enough to go with it. Don't let go of it."
I desperately wanted to believe him, but my confidence was shot. During every practice those words went through my mind: Not. Good. Enough. How could I be so foolish as to think I could perform as a dancer again, especially at my age?
The next Christmas Showcase came and went. Every time I thought about signing up, that little voice of failure butted in.
Lord, I finally prayed, I believe you gave me the talent to dance. Please give me the confidence to go with it.

I use Wordpress and PHP and the function file_put_contents(). Wordpress file structure can look different depending on the user.
I need to call it like this:
file_put_contents(TEMPLATEPATH . '/ps_logo2.png');
or the same thing like this:
The case above is the absolute path on localhost (that's why it's C:). I need the path or some other way to make sure the file is put in the right place.
How is this done?

|[CONF] Apache Jackrabbit: Embedded Repository (page edited)
|Mon, 05 Jan 2009 15:47:00 GMT
Embedded Repository (JCR) edited by Jukka Zitting Page: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/JCR/Embedded+Repository Changes: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/diffpagesbyversion.action?pageId=106665&originalVersion=5&revisedVersion=6 Comment: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added information about making the embedded repository remotely accessible Change summary: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added information about making the embedded repository remotely accessible Change summary: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added information about making the embedded repository remotely accessible Change summary: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added information about making the embedded repository remotely accessible Change summary: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Added information about making the embedded repository remotely accessible Content: --------------------------------------------------------------------- You can run Jackrabbit in embedded mode inside your application if you only (or mostly) access a repository from that one application. In this deployment model the Jackrabbit dependencies are included directly in your classpath and your application is in full control of the repository lifecycle. To use this deployment model you need to add the appropriate dependencies to your application and include a few lines of Jackrabbit-specific code to start and stop a repository. You can then use the standard JCR API to access and manage content inside the repository. {toc:minLevel=2} h2. Maven dependencies To use Jackrabbit in embedded mode you need to make sure that the JCR API and all required Jackrabbit libraries are included in your classpath. If you use [Maven 2|http://maven.apache.org/], you can achieve this by specifying the following dependencies. {code:xml} <dependency> <groupId>javax.jcr</groupId> <artifactId>jcr</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId> <artifactId>jackrabbit-core</artifactId> <version>1.5.0</version> <exclusions> <exclusion> <groupId>commons-logging</groupId> <artifactId>commons-logging</artifactId> </exclusion> </exclusions> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>jcl-over-slf4j</artifactId> <version>1.5.3</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId> <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId> <version>1.5.3</version> </dependency> {code} The jcr dependency includes the JCR 1.0 API in your classpath. You need to explicitly declare this dependency as in jackrabbit-core the JCR API dependency scope is _provided_ to work better in deployment models where the JCR API is shared between multiple applications. The jackrabbit-core dependency pulls in the Jackrabbit content repository implementation and a set of transitive dependencies needed by Jackrabbit. See the [Downloads] page for the latest available version. Jackrabbit uses the [SLF4J|http://www.slf4j.org/] for logging and leaves it up to the embedding application to decide which underlying logging library to use. In the example above we use the slf4j-log4j12 library which uses [log4j 1.2|http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/] for handling the log messages. Note that the commons-logging dependency (which is a transitive dependency from [Apache POI|http://poi.apache.org/]) is explicitly replaced with the jcl-over-slf4j dependency that routes also all [Commons Logging|http://commons.apache.org/logging/] log messages through the selected SLF4J implementation. Jackrabbit 1.5.x uses SLF4J version 1.5.3. The full set of compile-scope dependencies included by the above declaration is shown below. If you use a build tool like [Ant|http://ant.apache.org/] where you need to explicitly include all dependencies, you can use this list to correctly configure your classpath. {code} +- javax.jcr:jcr:jar:1.0:compile +- org.apache.jackrabbit:jackrabbit-core:jar:1.5.0:compile | +- concurrent:concurrent:jar:1.3.4:compile | +- commons-collections:commons-collections:jar:3.1:compile | +- commons-io:commons-io:jar:1.4:compile | +- org.apache.jackrabbit:jackrabbit-api:jar:1.5.0:compile | +- org.apache.jackrabbit:jackrabbit-jcr-commons:jar:1.5.0:compile | +- org.apache.jackrabbit:jackrabbit-spi-commons:jar:1.5.0:compile | +- org.apache.jackrabbit:jackrabbit-spi:jar:1.5.0:compile | +- org.apache.jackrabbit:jackrabbit-text-extractors:jar:1.5.0:compile | | +- org.apache.poi:poi:jar:3.0.2-FINAL:compile | | +- org.apache.poi:poi-scratchpad:jar:3.0.2-FINAL:compile | | +- pdfbox:pdfbox:jar:0.7.3:compile | | | +- org.fontbox:fontbox:jar:0.1.0:compile | | | \- org.jempbox:jempbox:jar:0.2.0:compile | | \- net.sourceforge.nekohtml:nekohtml:jar:1.9.7:compile | | \- xerces:xercesImpl:jar:2.8.1:compile | | \- xml-apis:xml-apis:jar:1.3.03:compile | +- org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.5.3:compile | +- org.apache.lucene:lucene-core:jar:2.3.2:compile | \- org.apache.derby:derby:jar:10.2.1.6:compile +- org.slf4j:jcl-over-slf4j:jar:1.5.3:compile \- org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:jar:1.5.3:compile \- log4j:log4j:jar:1.2.14:compile {code} Note that some of the transitive dependencies listed above may conflict with some other dependencies of our application. In such cases you may want to consider switching to a deployment model that uses separate class loaders for your application and the Jackrabbit content repository. h2. Starting the repository Once you have your classpath configured you can start the repository with the following piece of code. {code:java} import javax.jcr.Repository; import org.apache.jackrabbit.core.RepositoryImpl; import org.apache.jackrabbit.core.config.RepositoryConfig; String xml = "/path/to/repository/configuration.xml"; String dir = "/path/to/repository/directory"; RepositoryConfig config = RepositoryConfig.create(xml, dir); Repository repository = RepositoryImpl.create(config); {code} See the [Jackrabbit Configuration] page for more information on repository configuration. See the [RepositoryConfig|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.5/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/config/RepositoryConfig.html] and [RepositoryImpl|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.5/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/RepositoryImpl.html] javadocs for more details on these classes. h2. Shutting down the repository When your application no longer needs the content repository, you can shut it down with the following code. {code:java} ((RepositoryImpl) repository).shutdown(); {code} This will forcibly close all open sessions and make sure that all repository content is safely stored on disk. h2. The TransientRepository class Jackrabbit comes with a [TransientRepository|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.5/org/apache/jackrabbit/core/TransientRepository.html] class that makes it even easier to get started with a content repository. This class is especially handy for quick prototyping, but using the RepositoryImpl class as described above gives you better control over the repository lifecycle and is typically a better alternative for production code. {code:java} import javax.jcr.Repository; import org.apache.jackrabbit.core.TransientRepository; Repository repository = new TransientRepository(); {code} This creates a repository instance that starts up when the first session is created and automatically shuts down when the last session is closed. By default the repository will be created in a "jackrabbit" subdirectory using a default configuration file in "jackrabbit/repository.xml". See the TransientRepository javadocs for the ways to override these defaults. h2. Enabling remote access Even if you mostly use the content repository in embedded mode within your application, it may occasionally be useful to be able to access the repository for example from an external administration tool while your application is still running. You can use the jackrabbit-jcr-rmi library to make this possible. To do this, you first need to add the appropriate dependency. {code:xml} <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId> <artifactId>jackrabbit-jcr-rmi</artifactId> <version>1.5.0</version> </dependency> {code} Make sure that you have [rmiregistry|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/solaris/rmiregistry.html] running, and use the following code to export the repository. {code:java} import java.rmi.Naming; import org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.server.RemoteAdapterFactory; import org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.server.RemoteRepository; import org.apache.jackrabbit.rmi.jackrabbit.JackrabbitRemoteAdapterFactory; String url = "//localhost/javax/jcr/Repository"; // RMI URL of the repository RemoteAdapterFactory factory = new JackrabbitRemoteAdapterFactory(); RemoteRepository remote = factory.getRemoteRepository(repository); Naming.bind(url, remote); {code} Use the following code to remote the repository binding from the RMI registry before you shutdown the repository. {code:java} Naming.unbind(url); {code} Note that you need to keep a direct reference to the RemoteRepository instance in your code until you call Naming.unbind as otherwise it could get garbage collected before a remote client connects to it. Note also that you need to include the JCR API and the jackrabbit-jcr-rmi libraries in the rmiregistry classpath for the binding to work without extra RMI codebase settings. See the [Repository Server] page for instructions on how to access such a remote repository. h2. Embedded repository in a web application If your application is a web application, you can use the classes in the jackrabbit-jcr-servlet library to avoid the above startup and shutdown code. To do this, you first need to include jackrabbit-jcr-servlet as a dependency. {code:xml} <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.jackrabbit</groupId> <artifactId>jackrabbit-jcr-servlet</artifactId> <version>1.5.0</version> </dependency> {code} Then you can instruct the servlet container to automatically start and stop the repository as a part of your webapp lifecycle by including the following servlet configuration in your web.xml file. {code:xml} <servlet> <servlet-name>ContentRepository</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jackrabbit.servlet.jackrabbit.JackrabbitRepositoryServlet</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> {code} See the [JackrabbitRepositoryServlet|http://jackrabbit.apache.org/api/1.5/org/apache/jackrabbit/servlet/jackrabbit/JackrabbitRepositoryServlet.html] javadocs for the available configuration options. You can then access the repository in your own servlet classes using the following piece of code without worrying about the repository lifecycle. {code:java} import javax.jcr.Repository; import org.apache.jackrabbit.servlet.ServletRepository; Repository repository = new ServletRepository(this); // "this" is the containing servlet {code} The benefit of this approach over directly using the RepositoryImpl or TransientRepository classes as described above is that you can later on switch to a different deployment model without any code changes simply by modifying the servlet configuration in your web.xml. With this approach it is also easier to make your repository remotely available. Add the following configuration to your web.xml and your repository is automatically made available as a remote repository at http://.../rmi in the URL space of your webapp. {code:xml} <servlet> <servlet-name>RemoteRepository</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jackrabbit.servlet.remote.RemoteBindingServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>RemoteRepository</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/rmi</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> {code} --------------------------------------------------------------------- CONFLUENCE INFORMATION This message is automatically generated by Confluence Unsubscribe or edit your notifications preferences http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/users/viewnotifications.action If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/administrators.action If you want more information on Confluence, or have a bug to report see http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence

The last several weeks have been full of appointments, with a minimum of 2 every week. Fortunately, I was able to switch my OB appointments from Wednesday to coincide with my Monday NSTs beginning this week, so I don't have weeks with three regular appointments.
But this week has been a bit more stressful than the rest. Monday's NST went great! No issues there and baby's heartbeat and movement were good. they only kept me on the machine for 20 minutes. The meet with the OB was over almost before it began. She came in, said everything looks great, asked if I had any questions, and left. I'm all in favor of quick appointments, especially given how many I have to go to every week, but this was a bit more abrupt than I expected. However, since there were no issues with either the NST or the previous week's u/s, I wasn't terribly concerned.
Fast forward a bit to Thursday...Ultrasound and sugar numbers day...The timing of the appointment was much better than last week's. I only had to wait a few minutes after checking in, rather than over an hour. The scan went great! I had a really good tech who got some interesting pictures for me - different angles, so that not all my u/s pics look alike. It was also a weight check week, so she did all those measurements. Baby is estimated around 6lbs, 9oz and measuring just over a week ahead. Fluid looked good, heartbeat, practice breathing, everything.
After the scan, I had to wait for the peri to come in and talk about the sugar numbers. No big deal, the numbers have been good. But, when she came in, she had a somewhat different bearing than what I've gotten accustomed to. We talked a little about the sugar numbers (a couple were a touch high, but explained away by the medicine I was taking to close to test time), then she said, "I don't want to freak you out, but I saw something on your scan I want to show you."
NOT FREAK ME OUT?!? Just saying something like that is going to freak me out a bit.
So, what she saw was that there is a little bit of extra fluid in the back of baby's brain. She was adamant that just because there is a bit more than than what is normal, that doesn't mean there is a problem. The cerebellum and the rest of the brain look exactly as they should, with no deviations due to the extra fluid. OK, so it's not a problem and nothing to worry about, right? BUT, she still wants me to get a fetal MRI to make sure that she didn't miss anything. The bigger baby gets the harder it is to see everything. She did go back and look at earlier scans and didn't see anything, but she said her "obsessive self" won't let her not look further into this.
I'm trying not to worry about this. A lot of people have more than normal the about of fluid and don't even know it because most people don't get brain scans to find it. But it is still something that I keep getting this little niggling feeling about.
