Provided by Claremont Graduate University
CLAREMONT, Calif. — Years before the so-called "Mormon Moment," a private graduate-only research university in California began educating students in earnest about the religion.
Claremont Graduate University has been offering graduate-level Mormon studies courses since 2005.
Founded in 1925, CGU has a current enrollment of 2,177. The School of Religion, one of nine schools in the university, has 208 students.
The decision to add Mormon studies to the curriculum came from the School of Religion's desire to have representation of religions not normally at the table with ones such as Protestantism, Judaism and Islam.
"You had to have a broader range of what is religion, especially in the United States context," said Tammi Schneider, dean of the School of Religion. "To have no classes in Mormonism would be silly."
Schneider says there was some nervousness about implementing the Mormon studies program, just as there is with any program on a religion, because the sponsoring council sometimes wants the approach to be more doctrinal than academic.
"We decided that it can be done, it can be done well and it can be done in a way that offends neither the academics nor the adherents to the religion," Schneider said. "I think thus far we have managed to do that."
The goal for Mormon studies at CGU is to approach the faith and its history objectively as scholars, says Patrick Mason, the Howard W. Hunter chair of Mormon Studies.
"We speak primarily in the language of scholarship while respecting the language of faith," Mason said.
Mormon studies classes at CGU came about through the efforts of the Latter-day Saint Council on Mormon Studies, which was formed in 2002 and has no official connection to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After CGU began offering individual courses on Mormonism in 2005, the Howard W. Hunter Chair was established in 2008, ensuring that Mormon studies courses would be offered on a regular basis.
The chair was named for the 14th president of the LDS Church because of his connection to Southern California. President Hunter served as a stake president in Pasadena, and one of his children attended Claremont.
"I think it's perfect and a great honor for President Hunter's legacy and really a perfect fit for the program," said Mason, who was appointed as the new chair in 2011.
The first person to hold the position of chair was renowned Mormon scholar and LDS Church member Richard Bushman, author of "Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling." Bushman taught courses in Mormon studies and the history of religion in America. His wife, Claudia, and visiting scholar Armand Mauss also taught Mormon studies classes on campus. Bushman "did an amazing amount" for the program, Schneider said.
Mason received his bachelor's in history from Brigham Young University and master's degrees in history and international peace studies and a doctorate in American history from the University of Notre Dame. He taught at Notre Dame and the American University in Cairo. He is the author of "The Mormon Menace: Violence and Anti-Mormonism in the Antebellum South."
"Patrick is cutting edge in religion," Schneider said. "He's fresh, he's young, he's new, he's excited, he is smart. ... He's something really special."
Mason teaches a North American religion course and a Mormon studies class each semester.
The Mormon studies class differs each semester depending on student interest and needs, he said. Last fall the course was "Approaches to Mormonism," which looked at how different scholars have understood or approached the study of Mormonism.

Japan Confirms Three Doves To Run The Bank Of Japan
Haruhiko Kuroda, Japan's parliament on Friday approved a new central bank management team that is widely expected to support the government's demands for more action to stoke the world's third-biggest economy.
The upper house gave the green light to Haruhiko Kuroda as Bank of Japan governor, with the finance veteran and long-time BoJ critic seen as likely to launch aggressive monetary easing measures, after his predecessor drew heavy criticism for failing to turn around Japan's fortunes.
Lawmakers also approved the nominations of Kikuo Iwata and Hiroshi Nakaso as Kuroda's deputies, with all three clearing the vote hurdle with comfortable margins.
Japan's leading opposition party had warned it would vote against Iwata -- a strong supporter of monetary easing and of giving Tokyo more control over the independent BoJ -- but his nomination passed by a count of 124 votes in favour with 96 votes against.
The BoJ's new management team, which was approved by the lower house on Thursday, is expected to take up their positions next week.
I see that.

Complex global business environments are associated with increasingly interconnected economies, societies, and governments. Moreover, the proliferation of discrete markets, categories of product offerings, and individualized customer segments motivates business leaders to drastically simplify their organizations to become more agile in exploiting this complexity. Incremental changes are no longer sufficient to remain viable in volatile and uncertain environments. Internal business processes must undergo radical simplifications that reduce cycle time (a measure of responsiveness), cost per transaction (a measure of efficiency), and the number of hand-offs (a measure of how often work is transferred to another organization or business process). IBM defines radical simplification as realizing reductions in these measures of 50% or greater. To achieve these goals, IBM executives identified the need for a consistent, carefully matched set of best-practice methods, techniques, and leading-edge software tools, including scenario-based guidance to enable leaders to radically simplify their businesses. This paper describes the resulting IBM Toolkit for Radical Simplification and includes project case studies to demonstrate how the toolkit is being applied to simplify business processes for increased speed, agility, and value.

It seems that this should not be an emotional religious issue, but rather a legal issue; after all, marriage is only recognized if first taken out by a legal license. Also, this issue is now at the Federal Supreme Court, thanks to Utah pushing it. Religion and government are not co-joined, but separate in our country. Too much money has already been spent on a legal issue that cannot be defended by religious books, and already ruled unconstitutional by a federal judge. Soon the Utah out-of-state lawyers will admit this publicly - after all none of them have won a case which ruled in favor of what traditional marriage. Sad loss for Utah's tax dollars with a price-tag start of two million dollars. Thankfully Utah County legislatures Saturday remarked that they would flush this SSM issue from their budget having seen the losing battle in California - instead they will concentrate on education and hopefully someday the homeless youth in our state (and sadly, 40% are LBGT youth kicked out from religious homes).

This country was founded on Christian beliefs and morality. Homosexuality, and
subsequently, gay marriage, flies in the face of both.
John Adams said: "Our constitution was made only for a MORAL and Religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
You do not have the" right" under to Constitution to marriage. The people of the State of Utah voted by an overwhelming 66% to keep gay marriage out. You are trying to use back door tactics to try to push thru a liberal agenda that the people of Utah don't want. You have your civil unions which give you all the same privileges as marriage without the destroying the sanctity of it. I support traditional marriage.

Wake Forest coach Dino Gaudio has no idea if he'll have a team that could compete for the ACC title and an NCAA tournament berth next season.
And he might not know until June 15, the early-entry withdrawal date for the NBA draft.
Gaudio, like a number of head coaches, is waiting to see if his star player will return or stay in the draft. This is the annual spring angst college coaches go through during the draft process. A year ago, North Carolina coach Roy Williams had no clue he would have a title contender, while Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green went through the draft experience.
Gaudio is sweating out his leading scorer, Jeff Teague. The sophomore was a lock for the lottery, or so it seemed in January when he was putting up 30 points in a win at BYU and 34 in a win over North Carolina. But the scoring tapered off, and so did the Demon Deacons toward the end of the season.
Teague was no longer a lock for the lottery. His tenuous draft position forced him to "test" rather than go all the way in like his teammate and classmate, sophomore forward James Johnson, a likely lottery pick.
"It's incredibly difficult, and I'm doing my very best to get Jeff the best information so that he can make a good decision," Gaudio said. "I'm trying to have balance. But on June 15, if he stays, there's no one out there that can be an impact player. This is what makes building a program so much more difficult. You can't plan."
No, you can't. And coaches who have gone down this road before, and those who are dealing with this for the first time, are discovering that there is no Plan B.
The Demon Deacons did have one star who decided against declaring, freshman Al-Farouq Aminu. If Teague returns, the Deacons will be in the thick of the ACC race. If he doesn't, Wake will likely be too one-dimensional and an NIT path might be more likely.
The Demon Deacons would have to rely on Ishmael Smith, Gary Clark and L.D. Williams on the perimeter. None of them is a big-time scorer like Teague. As it is, Wake won't have the matchup problems that Johnson posed for opponents in the past.
On the other side of the country, Saint Mary's is in an even more fragile state. If Patty Mills stays in the draft, the Gaels are destined for a second-tier tournament, if that. If Mills were to return, they'd have four starters back and have a real shot to challenge for an NCAA berth and -- who knows? -- maybe nip at Gonzaga's heels again for the WCC title.
"It certainly makes a difference," Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said. "Without him, we'll be young."
Mickey McConnell, who was the backup point and started when Mills was out with a broken right hand, won't be as disruptive a playmaker. Opposing teams won't have to figure out ways to contain him. Not having Diamon Simpson will be a huge loss, but that was expected. Omar Samhan returns to be the beef in the middle, and with Mills dishing to him, Samhan has a better chance to be a productive post.
As far as scheduling is concerned, Bennett can't wait around until June to see if Mills returns. So Bennett is already trying to get any game he can to upgrade the schedule. He said he nabbed Vanderbilt on the Commodores' way out to the Maui Invitational, and the Gaels are signed up to play in the Diamond Head Classic with headliners USC and UNLV. Return games to Oregon, Utah State and San Jose State were already on the docket.
Kentucky is in a similar situation. The Wildcats will either be a conference title contender if Jodie Meeks and Patrick Patterson return from testing the draft or a younger and inexperienced team if they don't. John Calipari does have two stud newcomers in Daniel Orton and DeMarcus Cousins (and could have another if stud point guard John Wall commits).
If the Wildcats don't have as many drivers next season, Calipari said he can play those two together in Patterson's absence and the dribble-drive-motion offense would need to be tweaked. The key, Calipari said, is if they can land a competent point to run the system. Obviously that would be Wall, if Kentucky is fortunate enough to get him, but it could be someone else -- Eric Bledsoe perhaps? -- as the Wildcats are still actively recruiting the position. Calipari said without Meeks and Patterson the Wildcats would resemble some of his UMass teams that were more grinding than finesse.
If Kentucky were to resemble a UMass team from the 1990s, then UCLA might be like Ben Howland's previous Pitt teams that lacked a star and were grinders as well -- that is, if freshman Jrue Holiday stays in the draft. The Bruins are waiting to see what Holiday will do, no doubt hoping he sees how he could be a star next season with Darren Collison out of the way.
Howland said the Bruins aren't going to sign someone in the spring just to land a body. They're not going to get another headline star at this juncture to replace Holiday. The team, as described by the staff, would be a scrappy bunch, without much hype or national respect, if Holiday bolted. But it's not like there's nothing left. The frontcourt is still pretty solid with James Keefe, Nikola Dragovic, J'mison Morgan, Drew Gordon, and newcomers Mike Moser, Tyler Honeycutt, Brendan Lane, Anthony Stover and Reeves Nelson jockeying for minutes. The perimeter will lean on Michael Roll for shooting and Malcolm Lee and Jerime Anderson for penetration and delivery of the ball if Holiday is out.
The UCLA coaching staff is holding out hope that Holiday won't be tempted by a possible draft slot in the first round. So, too, is Mississippi State, with Jarvis Varnado.
"There's no Plan B; we feel good about this," Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury said.
But Varnado is an intriguing prospect. He's as long as they come, a developing post presence who was the nation's leading shot-blocker last season. But the Bulldogs aren't sitting idle, despite the public face that they believe Varnado won't leave for good. MSU is the likely destination for Renardo Sidney, the Fairfax High (Calif.) center who once committed to USC but is now out in the open market.
With Varnado, the defending SEC tournament title champs are a lock for the Top 25. Without him, they are not. But even if Sidney arrives, the Bulldogs won't have the intimidation of Varnado along the back line.
The situation isn't as dire at Gonzaga. The Bulldogs are waiting out Austin Daye's decision. But Daye is expendable. The Bulldogs don't need him to be WCC champs or an NCAA tournament team. Matt Bouldin, Steven Gray and Demetri Goodson provide the Zags with a solid backcourt. Robert Sacre will be the post, and the likely small forward replacement for Daye would be Kelly Olynyk, a 6-foot-10 forward out of Canada.
The newcomer class of G.J. Vilarino, Mangisto Arop and Samuel Dower should contribute, too. Gonzaga wants Daye to return, of course, but there isn't the same level of concern as there was last year when Jeremy Pargo tested the process. Goodson was an unknown, and the Bulldogs needed Pargo at the point to feel comfortable for a possible deep March run.
Miami's Frank Haith and Texas A&M's Mark Turgeon don't seem to be worrying about a Plan B, either, since the players who declared off their squads -- Dwayne Collins for the Hurricanes and Donald Sloan, Bryan Davis and Chinemelu Elonu for the Aggies -- have little or no chance of being drafted. That word is surely trickling down to them, and a withdrawal is likely.
That's also probably the case for South Carolina's junior guard tandem of Devan Downey and Dominique Archie. But there's nothing coach Darrin Horn can do at this juncture but wait, hope and anticipate that common sense will prevail and he'll have his backcourt back for next season. He's not going to find anyone comparable in talent at this stage, and just as important, could not replace the experience of fifth-year seniors.
"You're not going to replace that," Horn said. "We're supporting them, and this is a learning experience for them. But we have to move forward. We'd love to have them back, we want them back, but we have to see how this develops."
The Gamecocks just missed the NCAA tournament with a 10-6 SEC record and finished 21-10 overall after an NIT loss to Davidson. They recruited Lakeem Jackson and Ramon Galloway for the backcourt, but the plan was for them to come along behind Archie and Downey.
"We'll just make adjustments if we have to," Horn said. "There's not a lot we can do. This is the way the system is set up right now. You're never going to go out and replace good enough players who stay in the draft unless you've done it ahead of time in the fall. We've got young guys coming in, but not two players of that caliber."
And so in Columbia, the Gamecocks and their faithful simply wait for the process to play itself out.
Look around the country: They're not alone.

Vt. ski area offering free passes to local youthThe Associated Press | February 24,2014Staff File Photo
Skiers and snowboarders head to the Bluebird Express chairlift at Mount Snow last year.DOVER Young people who live near Vermonts Mount Snow ski area will have an opportunity to earn a seasons pass for next season in exchange for community service and attending two substance abuse educational events.
The program called Choose sNOw is limited to 350 students and it costs $25.
But the students who complete the requirements, including participating in the local Green-Up Day, will receive the passes.
All three events will be held at Mount Snow.
The first event will take place on March 19 and must be attended by both the student and a parent or legal guardian.
The event will feature presentations by Chris Sullivan, a former New England Patriot who, three years after his retirement from football, was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, drug possession with intent to distribute and other charges. He now travels the country warning about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Sullivans wife, Kathi, will talk about how her 17-year-old daughter drowned in two feet of water after binge drinking at an underage party.

Paul O'Neill played 17 major league seasons and, in that time, he had 2,105 hits, won the American League batting title in 1994 and hit at least .300 in six consecutive seasons. He was an excellent hitter and, like many of the best, he sometimes had the fragile psyche of someone who seemed to be standing on the edge of the performance cliff.
O'Neill would sometimes show his frustration with a bad plate appearance by walloping a water cooler or smashing his batting helmet or skipping angrily over the first-base bag. Sometimes, when he was especially low, this accomplished professional would turn to New York Yankees first-base coach Jose Cardenal and say, after another groundout, "Josey, I'll never get another hit!"
Because with all due respect to NFL quarterbacks, decathletes and those assigned to defend LeBron James, hitting a baseball thrown at nearly 100 mph with a rounded bat remains the single most difficult thing to do in sports. And this summer, we have seen the best of the best taken down by the challenge.
Giancarlo Stanton fell into a horrific slump in which he struggled to even make contact with pitches, his body repeatedly drifting away from home plate. In 29 games from May 7 to June 15, Stanton batted .118 -- .118 -- with 48 strikeouts in 115 plate appearances, and only two homers.
"Everybody sees the problem," one Miami Marlins staffer said in the midst of it. "Everybody knows what the problem is. But he needs a better feel."

When cooked vegetable spaghetii looks just like spaghetti; spaghetti squash can be roasted, boil or even microwaved, and the stringy flesh can be used as a substitute for pasta noodles. Harvest your spaghetti squash once it has turned a buttery yellow or deep orange colour. Great for the kids to grow and eat.
Adaptable to most good garden soils but prefers a rich soil with adequate amounts of water in full sun

Following the release of a report that showed an anemic 0.7 percent economic growth in the fourth quarter of 2015, FreedomWorks Senior Economic Contributor Stephen Moore commented:
Americans know that there is a serious problem in the economy. Incomes are stagnant, and the employment situation is not improving in a meaningful way.
With the whirlwind of scandal currently buffeting the Obama Administration, domestic attention has shifted away from economic performance. Be assured, the economic picture is as bleak as ever. Economic indicators like GDP tend to be measures of monetary flow, not economic well-being per se; in fact, GDP is boosted every time there is a tragic natural disaster, and those aren't good for anyone!
On February 5, the Congressional Budget Office released a report titled, "Macroeconomic Effects of Alternative Budgetary Paths". Full disclosure: even to us policy wonks, this report sounds a bit dry. Not exactly 50 Shades of Grey, if you know what I mean. But this report did contain some very interesting nuggets. Prepared at the request of the Chair of the Senate Budget Committee, Patty Murray, I'm certain that it came as a bit of a surprise.

Jefferies Said to Hire BNP's Bass in Fixed-Income Role
Jefferies LLC, the investment bank owned by Leucadia National Corp., hired BNP Paribas SA's Jon Bass for a senior role in fixed-income sales, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.
Bass left BNP Paribas's New York office, where he was deputy head of fixed income, Cesaltine Gregorio, a spokeswoman for the Paris-based lender, said in an e-mail. Bass didn't immediately respond to an e-mail and call to his mobile phone.
Richard Khaleel, a Jefferies spokesman, said he couldn't comment on the move.
Jefferies has made several changes to the leadership of its debt unit this year. It hired Fred Orlan from Barclays Plc to help run the fixed-income group as a former co-head, William Jennings, resigned.
The firm is now hiring Bass, 51, who traded debt five seats from Salomon Brothers Inc. Chairman John Gutfreund and later helped run fixed income at UBS AG, where he also was an investment-bank board member.
Before Bass joined BNP, he headed institutional sales and fixed income at MF Global Holdings Ltd. until the broker collapsed in October 2011.
Jefferies, which is led by Richard Handler, is the 13th most-active manager of U.S. high-yield bond sales this year, compared with 12th place last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Leucadia agreed to buy Jefferies in 2012 and made Handler, who was running the investment bank, CEO of the combined company.

London's City Buys BP While Wall Street Flees Risk
BP Plc, the worst oil investment this year on Wall Street, is finding its backers in the City of London.
Investors piled more money behind "buy" trades than "sell" ones in London since the April 20 rig explosion, according to so-called money flow data compiled by Bloomberg, even as the stock slumped to a 13-year low. By contrast, BP's American depositary receipts have recorded a net $185 million outflow in New York, the data show.
As the worst oil spill in U.S. history spurs attacks from President Barack Obama and soils Florida's beaches and the Louisiana marshlands, London investors are backing BP's embattled chief executive officer, Tony Hayward. After a five-year string of accidents and deadly disasters at BP facilities, U.S. Representative Bart Stupak suggested last week its safety record could justify pulling the company's operating permits in the U.S.
"There's a feeling in the U.K. that BP has been singled out unfairly and that there's long-term value in the stock," said Iain Armstrong, an analyst at Brewin Dolphin Ltd., which oversees more than $31 billion in London and increased its BP holdings in May. "In the U.S., it's a very emotive issue, and politicians are making it much more personal and vindictive. If you're a U.S. fund manager and BP doesn't manage to stop the leak, you've got a lot to answer for."
Hayward drew criticism again this weekend after attending a yacht race off the south coast of England, watching sailboats on the Solent at a time when fishing in the Gulf of Mexico is curtailed because of BP's spill.
'PR Gaffes'
Hayward's attendance was "part of a long line of PR gaffes and mistakes," White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said on ABC's "This Week" television program. "We can all conclude that Tony Hayward is not going to have a second career in PR consulting."
BP agreed last week to cancel nine months of dividend payments, saving about $7.5 billion, sell $10 billion of assets and reduce investment to raise cash to meet Obama's demand for a $20 billion fund for victims of the spill.
"When people turn on the news they see this gusher pouring out," said Ronald Sorenson, CEO of W.H. Reaves & Co. in Jersey City, New Jersey, which manages $1.6 billion in assets, including BP shares. "That puts a lot of pressure on advisers. Individual investors take this very personally." Sorenson said he's sold shares for individual investors since the spill began.
Biggest Loss
The London-listed stock is down 47 percent since the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig that killed 11 workers and started the leak on the seabed. The shares fell to a 13-year low of 342 pence on June 15, wiping about 60 billion pounds ($89 billion) off the company's value. The ADR is down 45 percent this year, more than any other company in the 11-member CBOE Oil Index.
BP fell 2.2 percent in London today to 349.5 pence.
Money flow attempts to measure the capital moving in and out of a security by adding the value of higher, or uptick, trades and subtracting the value of downticks. As prices fall, money flows are usually negative, turning positive as prices rise. A divergence between money flow and price may signal a change in the trend.
The method was pioneered by Laszlo Birinyi, founder of the Westport, Connecticut-based research and money-management firm Birinyi Associates Inc.
"People in the U.K. are buying the stock, taking advantage of the discount" since the stock plunged, said Cleve Rueckert, an equity analyst at Birinyi's firm. "But when a stock starts to slide like this, it's hard to say when it will turn around."
City Vs Wall Street
Birinyi's October 2007 forecast that a recovery in banks would be wiped out presaged an 82 percent plunge in the Standard & Poor's 500 Financials Index through March 6 of the next year.
The split over BP between U.K. and U.S. investors extends to analysts. The U.K. stock has 26 "buy" recommendations, while 12 analysts recommend holding the stock and two say to sell. In contrast, almost as many U.S. analysts advise against purchasing the stock as buying it. The ADRs have seven "buy" recommendations, five "holds" and one "sell."
"I'm sure anger is fuelling the selling," said John Olson, managing partner at Houston Energy Partners, a hedge fund unit of Sanders Morris Harris Group Inc. "We've had a media firestorm, and the flames have been fanned by the Obama administration."
Stonewalling Congress
Moody's Investors Service cut the company's debt rating by three levels last week on concern litigation claims will be an "overhang" on BP's creditworthiness for years. Fitch Ratings pushed BP down six notches to two grades above "junk."
U.S. lawmakers accused Hayward, 53, of stonewalling and dodging questions about the causes of the explosion when he testified before a Congressional committee last week. The New York Daily News previously called the CEO "the most hated --and clueless -- man in America."
"I don't think the image that comes across in the States is at all fair to him," said Timothy Guinness, CEO of Guinness Atkinson Asset Management in London, which owns BP shares. "He is very hard working, he is very conscientious, he is trying to do the right thing. The fall was overdone, the upside from here is quite significant."
Guinness said he's buying BP shares for more aggressive investors, anticipating a gain of as much as 50 percent during the next year.
'Long-Term Perspective'
After taking over from John Browne in May 2007, Hayward pledged to apply a "laser-like focus" to improving safety, declaring the goal one of his three top priorities.
To turn BP around, Hayward will have to regain the confidence of U.S. regulators, politicians and investors. BP became the biggest producer of oil and gas in the U.S. after spending $100 billion buying Chicago's Amoco Corp. and Atlantic Richfield Co. of Los Angeles between 1998 and 2000. About 26 percent of its production is in America, stretching from Alaska's Prudhoe Bay in the Arctic to the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
"When things look the worst, that's usually when the value opportunities present themselves," said Lothar Mentel, chief investment officer for Octopus Investments Ltd. in London. "But you do have to have a long-term perspective."

Hi Eclarep. I'm seeking opinions and possible support for an issue in which I'm in a debate with other Wikipedians.

Right now I'm about the only person addressing the issue because deaf people are such a small minority. Other Wikipedians, with apparently no prior knowledge of the issue, are reverting my edits. If you're interesting in expressing your opinion, feel free to do so. If you wish to discuss further please leave me a message on my Talk page. Thanks. Ward3001 17:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Product Description
The Brown & Sharpe Bestest-3 series dial test indicator set has a white face and inch measurements. The indicator can make either horizontal or vertical measurements, and the choice of white or yellow face dial face rotates. The white dial and a contrasting black hand help make measurements easy to read. The yellow face with contrasting black hand complies with ANSI standards for metric dial faces. The carbide, ball-contact tip reaches into the workpiece for accurate measurements of turned, milled, and ground parts, and for tool setting gauges, fixtures, and inspections. The continuous clockwise pointer rotation helps prevent plus or minus confusion and displays reading in fractional inches. The ball-bearing lever system swivels through to 180 degrees. The dial face mounted at the top of the indicator parallel to the axis, and three universal dovetail mounts can be used for mounting from the top, front, or back. Dovetail mounts provide a rigid setup. This indicator has a Monoblock body design with pinions mounted in jeweled bearings in an isolated assembly separate from the outer body, for high accuracy. It is anti-magnetic for safety when used around magnetic workpieces and debris, and has full-metal construction for durability and corrosion resistance. This dial test indicator meets Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN) 2270, and Norme Francaise (French Institute for Standardization) NF E 11-053 standards, and includes a Certificate of Accuracy and Traceability. The set includes a dial test indicator, a 0.080" (2mm) carbide contact point, a rectangular bar, a swivel clamp, a point wrench, a Certificate of Accuracy and Traceability, and a storage box.
Dial readings with three digits, such as 0-10-0, signify that the indicator has a balanced dial. Dial readings with two digits, such as 0-100, indicate that the dial has a continuous dial. Balanced dials are used to read the difference from a specific surface reference point. Continuous dials are used for direct readings and usually have a larger measurement range than balanced dials.
Dial indicators are also called dial gauges, dial calipers, and probe indicators. These precision measuring tools are used to accurately measure small linear distances and object sizes. The dial magnifies the measurement so that it can more easily be read by the human eye. Frequently used in manufacturing, laboratories, and other industrial or mechanical fields, dial indicators are used anywhere a small measurement must be found and recorded or transferred, such as checking the variation in tolerance of a workpiece. Standard dial indicators measure the displacement along the axis of the indicator. Dial test indicators are very similar to dial indicators, except that the axis of measurement is perpendicular to the axis of the indicator.

awesome plugin
Works great, good job!
I like this plugin, but one issue i need to upload image with in wp-admin panel...
I'm trying to use the slider but it doesn't work properly. I really don't know if it's 'cause I'm using another slider in the page or somethink like that.
Can somebody help me?
The address is: http://www.cervejeirosdotriangulo.com.br/
The slider is below the green "banner".
doesnt work
This is the plugin exactly what I`m looking for
Images doesn't show even that folder path are %100 correct.
Waste of time
Overall, easy to integrate and customize stylistically, but you have to specify a folder path to images for each carousel and the only to update is via ftp or a plugin that allows directory manipulation with media library. Also, the carousel slider settings interface could be a little more descriptive, as it required reference to author's site.

We're all in this together
A priest from Moon wrote recently that individuals, not governments, must care for the poor. Although there is a grain of truth to his thought, overall he panders to the American mythology of the rugged individual, the lone ranger, the isolated pioneer. And he neglects Jesus' emphasis on the communal nature of effective caring.
Jesus most often urges his followers to work together, not just individually, to live out his compassion in a troubled world. In the original Greek of the New Testament, he tends to use the plural "you" addressed to a community. In the King James Version it's "ye." In the South "y'all" would be a good translation. In Pittsburgh, "yinz."
So in the parable of the Last Judgment in Matthew 25, for example, the king says to his people, "Whenever yinz fed the hungry or clothed the naked, together you did it to me." True, he doesn't specify how many of yinz should be involved here. Maybe it's a congregation or a community. Maybe a state or even (gasp!) a nation. But together you all can and must get the job done. Not isolated cowboys or rugged individuals screaming to get the government off their backs, but "we the people, in order to form a more perfect union," struggle together to forge a compassionate society.
And we use governments, faith communities and voluntary associations as necessary tools.

I am doing a twitter api call from my controller. Maybe a bad idea,but I am new to rails and still learning. Now the thing is, it takes a while for the page to return the basic body, head the final results and container. Since the twitter api call takes a while. And when it returns, it return everything all together, which hardly takes a second. But before that already few seconds have passed making the call for the code chunk present in the controller.
Now my question is how or what should I do to have the basic html load up first and then run the process in the controller ? Or should i host that chunk of code somehwere else? If so what is an ideal way to do it without delaying my page load time?
Update : the gem i am using is - https://github.com/sferik/twitter

Photo Details
A picture found by chance of my great grandfather, born in Orange County New York in 1850, married to Mianda Lathrop for a brief few years in the early 1870's. They had two children, Charles W. and Arthur Leigh Hewitt. Arthur was my grandfather and it is unknown among my family as to what happened to his brother, his father or who the parents are of my great grandfather. Arthur came west to Oregon with his mother (she remarried to Stephen Tillotson) when he was very young in about 1888. If anyone knows any information about these relations, I would appreciate any knowledge or contact about it.

Europe Faces Lack of 'Exit Strategy,' Clarida Says: Tom Keene
European leaders are coping with a monetary union that was created without an "exit strategy" as member nations try to resolve the region's debt crisis, Pacific Investment Management Co.'s Richard Clarida said.
"The challenge in Europe is that the euro was created without an exit mechanism," said Clarida, a strategic adviser at the world's biggest bond fund manager, during a radio interview on "Bloomberg Surveillance" with Tom Keene and Ken Prewitt. "They're having to develop this on the fly."
European Union leaders pledged today at a two-day summit in Brussels to stand behind Greece should Prime Minister George Papandreou push through budget cuts, attempting to prevent the Mediterranean nation from defaulting on its obligations and to shore up support for the shared currency. Greece's adoption of the euro prevents it from devaluing its currency to reduce its debts and boost exports.
The plan hinges on Papandreou's ability to shepherd 78 billion euros ($111 billion) of austerity measures through parliament. The program was endorsed yesterday by experts from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Portugal and Ireland followed Greece in requesting international aid. A year after approving a 110 billion-euro bailout for Greece, European leaders and the IMF are working on a second funding package. Bond yields show the bailout measures in those countries may have had limited success, Clarida said.
'Life Support'
"You have three countries that are essentially on life support," Clarida said. "Those wide spreads are indicative that even these programs that are in place now may not be sufficient."
Five-year Irish government securities yield 11.6 percentage points more than similar-maturity German bunds, from 5.8 percentage points in February, while those of Portugal pay a spread of 11.8 percentage points, up from 3.5 percentage points in January.
The euro fell 0.7 percent to 1.1871 Swiss francs, after reaching a record-low 1.1846 yesterday. The euro weakened 0.5 percent to $1.4189 at 12:26 p.m. in New York, from $1.4256.

Restless legs syndrome: relationship between prevalence and latitude

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) has a broad worldwide prevalence between 0.01% and 18.3%. While differences in RLS definitions and data ascertainment methods account for some variability, other factors likely contribute. The circadian nature of RLS and the fact that RLS symptoms track with endogenous melatonin levels suggest that light or ultraviolet radiation (UVR) may be related to RLS expression. As the amount of UVR decreases with latitude, we considered the potential effect of geography on RLS prevalence with the thought being that RLS prevalence rises with increasing latitude.
RLS epidemiologic studies were sought via Pubmed search in the period between January 1, 1992 and November 15, 2010. Prevalence was mapped for each country or specific region studied and examined by continent. Pearson's correlational testing was carried out for RLS prevalence and latitude of the region studied.
Global RLS prevalence ranges from 0.01% in Africa, 0.7% to 12.5% in Asia, 2.0% to 18.9% in the Americas, and 3.2% to 18.3% in Europe. Mapping RLS prevalence by country or region in both the Americas and in Europe suggests increasing RLS frequency with greater northern latitude. RLS prevalence is positively correlated with northern latitude in both North America and Europe with correlation coefficients of r = 0.77 (0.15, 0.96; p = 0.02) and r = 0.74 (0.44, 0.89; p = 0.0002), respectively. In Europe, lower latitudinal countries like Greece and Turkey had RLS prevalence (per 1,000 persons) of 38 and 34, respectively, middle latitudinal countries like France and England of 108 and 86, respectively, and high latitudinal countries like Norway and Iceland of 143 and 183, respectively.
RLS epidemiology indicates an increase in RLS frequency in northern latitudinal countries as a function of distance from the equator, an effect most evident in Europe. This suggests that factors that track with latitude like UVR may be involved in the expression of RLS.

California Gold Rush
California Gold Rush Terms
Californios, CalifornioMexican citizens, inhabitants of the Mexican province of Alta California.
CompetencyWithin republican ideology, a competency was a holding of land—typically a farmstead—that allowed a man to sustain his family without needing to work for wages in the market economy.
Manifest DestinyThe concept, popular in the nineteenth century, that the United States was ordained by God to conquer the entire North American continent.
This phrase was first coined in 1845 by those who advocated the annexation of Texas. Thereafter it became the calling card for western expansion and, ultimately, a rallying cry for those who sought to justify American imperialism.
First used by those who supported the annexation of Texas in 1845, the term later justified American settlement of the Great Plains and the West (and then the broadening of the American empire).
The idea, popular in the mid-nineteenth century, that the United States was ordained by God to spread across the entire North American continent.
SlickensA Forty-Niner term for the torrents of muck sent downstream by hydraulic mining, which used the spray from high-pressure hoses to artificially erode ore-bearing hillsides to reveal the gold buried within.
QuinineA drug made from the bark of the chinchona tree and used as a prophylactic against malaria. The discovery of quinine's anti-malarial effects was one of the most important achievements of nineteenth-century medicine. In 1848, San Francisco merchant Samuel Brannan filled an empty quinine bottle with gold dust to prove that rumors of a gold strike in the Sierra foothills were true.
American DreamThe ideal of freedom and opportunity that allows all Americans to aspire to a higher standard of living than that achieved by their parents.
AgrarianRural, agricultural.
Characteristic of a society based on agriculture and farming.
Wage LaborWork performed for an employer, for pay.
Yeoman Farmer, Yeomen, YeomanAn independent farmer, working his own land to support his own family. In the early years of the American republic, Thomas Jefferson idealized yeoman farmers as the backbone of a free and democratic society. In the nineteenth century, Americans frequently contrasted independent yeoman farmers with wage laborers, whose dependence upon their employers for survival was said to make them less reliable democratic citizens.
CitizenshipThe status of being a citizen of the United States. Citizenship can be attained either through birthright (for those born in the United States) or through naturalization (for those who immigrate to the United States from foreign countries).
DependencyThe state of being dependent or subordinate to another person for survival. In the early nineteenth century, adherents of republican ideology believed that all wage laborers were too dependent upon their employers to make good democratic citizens.
QuixoticIdealistic, impractical, and unrealistic. The word is derived from Cervantes' great Spanish novel Don Quixote, which satirically chronicles the dubious exploits of the hopelessly romantic title character.
A romantic and/or impossible goal or quest
Second Great AwakeningA great religious revival that swept through much of the eastern United States in the 1830s, during which hundreds of thousands of people joined evangelical churches such as the Baptists and Methodists, as well as newer sects such as the Shakers and Mormons.
Sectional Question, SectionalismThe long debate between North and South over slavery in the United States. The sectional question was only finally answered through the Civil War, which ended slavery in the United States.
Placer Gold, Placer MiningSurface-level deposits of gold found in streams and rivers that can be retrieved through simple methods such as panning.
Entrepreneur, EntrepreneursA person who takes the risk to organize a new and speculative business venture.
AssayTo analyze a deposit of ore to determine the content of valuable minerals within it.
Kinship News NetworksIn a time before mass media, most people got news of far-off events via word of mouth, typically through family-based communication networks.

If there's one thing foreign exchange students have to learn about while attending American high schools, it's how to go to a prom.
Students from such faraway lands as South Africa, France, Germany and Poland attended the Cinderella Ball at the Party Barn earlier this year to practice for the upcoming end-of-school proms.
Thirty-five exchange students placed at high schools in Amarillo and surrounding Panhandle towns by Academic Year in America - an organization that places exchange students throughout the United States - went to the dance with their American dates and host families. The event included games, food and the staple of any good American shindig: the Chicken Dance.
"The parents, the kids, everyone was out there dancing away, enjoying the food,'' said Juanita Morales-Euresti, Academic Year in America area representative and coordinator of the dance.
Practicing for prom, the students dressed formally, presented their dates with corsages and took them to dinner before the dance. They also gave yellow roses to their host parents and danced a slow waltz with them.
Thibault Masson from France and Philine Hoefling from Germany were elected prince and princess for the dance, just one of many opportunities for students in the program to get together and share stories of their experiences. They meet once a month at a different family's home for dinner and to talk about what they've been learning here.
The students also talk a lot about their experiences here with local students they meet. Being an exchange student is a natural topic for breaking the ice with new acquaintances.
"Of course, as soon as they hear you're an exchange student, they want to hear about things - different culture, different customs,'' said Hendrik van Broekhuizen, a South African student who attended the dance.
Exchange students are equally curious to hear about the experiences of people who've grown up in America, he said.
"We compare the two. They want to know about our countries, we want to know about theirs.''
Being in America isn't better or worse than being in his home country, he said, but while he's here, he's enjoying all the new experiences.
"Everything is new. That's what makes it nice. It's not better or worse, just different,'' Broekhuizen said.
"It's the first time I've seen snow falling - since I've been here. We've gone skiing and snowboarding. And speaking English the whole time; I'll tell my friends back home, 'I spoke nothing but English for six months!' ''

The Hub City Hog Fest to benefit Mobile Meals will take place Friday and Saturday in the Grain District.
Festival times are noon to 10 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday.
The festival is organized by the Wicker brothers, Cal and Grey.
The brothers have been attending and competing in sanctioned festivals throughout South Carolina and Western North Carolina for many years. They have been going to the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival in Tryon, N.C., since Grey was in high school.
The event, which is sanctioned by the S.C. Barbecue Association, premiered in March 2013. Thirty-five teams competed in three categories: brisket, ribs and butt. For three days, Spartanburg's Grain District was consumed by the pleasant scent of barbecue, and live music from several bands drifted down Main Street.
Even though conditions were rainy, and the temperature was in the 40s, the festival still brought in more than $22,000 for Mobile Meals.
This year's festival will include a Home Brew Competition on Friday sponsored by RJ Rockers and Growler Haus. A wing competition will also take place on Friday.
Music from a variety of bands will fill two stages over the weekend.
An awards ceremony for the winning "Que," will take place Saturday.

games(TM)Feb 12, 2014There's enough good will and thoughtful design to spur players through all 204 challenges therein. [Issue#144, p.108]
Jan 29, 2014NES Remix is a fun time waster that had me reliving the memories of my childhood once again.
Jan 28, 2014A brilliant idea, handled carelessly. Some of these oldies are far from golden, but with some fine-tuning, a sequel would be very welcome indeed.
Jan 22, 2014Despite the glaring exclusion of other NES favorites, the no-mercy difficulty, and some bland challenges, NES Remix will resonate positively with any NES fan who welcomes a taste of the past and the feeling of satisfaction you get from the mastery retro games require to win.
Jan 17, 2014As with many reconstituted products, NES Remix is immediately delicious, but inspires an obsession that it can't sustain for long.
Jan 10, 2014This will truly appeal to those who lived through the years during which these games were first served up to the masses, the hardy old-timers who would recognise a Power Glove with a knowing wink.
Jan 8, 2014What began as a celebration ends with nostalgia's bubble being cruelly pricked.
Dec 30, 2013Cutting these venerable NES games into challenges helps to learn their gameplay mechanics and relive some memorable moments, while the Remixes refresh this experience through surprising presentation tweaks and principles twists. But NES Remix lacks inspiration and consistency to stand as a definitive tribute to this fundamental era.
Dec 20, 2013At $15, NES Remix is a pricey piece of packaged nostalgia. For me, playing through these mini-challenges and unlocking new stages and new games was an enjoyable whirlwind tour of some of my fondest gaming memories. But then again, I've been on this vacation before.
Dec 20, 2013A great idea that fails to capitalise on the full extent of Nintendo's 8-bit legacy, although whether that's through greed or foolishness isn't yet clear.
Dec 19, 2013NES Remix is a fun little distraction for a while, and brings back plenty of memories. Some of those memories are great, and others are along the lines of remembering how much Ice Climbers sucks. This isn't a must-play highlight for the Wii U eShop, but it's worth spending some time with if you grew up with an NES controller in your hand.
