Requirement to consider gay couples for adoption forces Illinois Catholic Charities affiliates to close
posted at 9:27 pm on December 29, 2011 by Tina Korbe
After the Illinois state legislature passed a requirement that says adoption and foster-care agencies — to be eligible for state money — must consider same-sex couples as potential foster-care or adoptive parents, the Roman Catholic bishops in Illinois decided to shut down most of the Catholic Charities affiliates in the state. This isn't the first time something like this has happened: Massachusetts and Washington D.C. both passed similar requirements — and many Catholic Charities affiliates closed down in those states, as well. The New York Times reports:
For the nation's Catholic bishops, the Illinois requirement is a prime example of what they see as an escalating campaign by the government to trample on their religious freedom while expanding the rights of gay people. The idea that religious Americans are the victims of government-backed persecution is now a frequent theme not just for Catholic bishops, but also for Republican presidential candidates and conservative evangelicals.
"In the name of tolerance, we're not being tolerated," said Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki of the Diocese of Springfield, Ill., a civil and canon lawyer who helped drive the church's losing battle to retain its state contracts for foster care and adoption services. …
Critics of the church argue that no group has a constitutional right to a government contract, especially if it refuses to provide required services.
But Anthony R. Picarello Jr., general counsel and associate general secretary of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, disagreed. "It's true that the church doesn't have a First Amendment right to have a government contract," he said, "but it does have a First Amendment right not to be excluded from a contract based on its religious beliefs.
This is tough stuff. My instinct is to think that the Illinois requirement does constitute a violation of religious liberty — but I'm not sure. The free exercise of religion clause protects religiously motivated conduct as well as belief (e.g. proselytization, refusing work on one's sabbath, even sacrificing animals at a worship service), so Catholic Charities is well within its rights to refuse to place children with gay couples and still operate. Because Catholic Charities can't operate foster care services without a contract with the state, the denial of the contract on the basis of CC's fidelity to the teaching of the Catholic Church seems like a clear violation of religious freedom. But the mere denial of funding — no matter how heavily dependent CC is on it for its operations — is surely not. Freedom and funding, after all, are not the same.
Either way, though, let's not forget the broader picture: The decision of the Illinois legislature to initiate the requirement in the first place — knowing it would hamstring Catholic Charities, which provides essential services — demonstrates an appalling willingness to allow an adult agenda — the mainstream acceptance of gay behavior — to supersede children's interests. The spokesman for the state's child welfare agency has said he thinks the child welfare system Catholic Charities helped to build is strong enough to withstand CC's departure. But it's hard to believe the shuttering of so many CC affiliates won't make the burden of finding a home for children in need even greater.
Then, too, research suggests the healthiest and most stable environment for a child is to live with a married couple. Of those born to cohabiting parents, the majority see their parents split up before they hit age 16 — and children living with a mother and her unmarried partner are more likely to have behavioral problems and lower academic performance. That Catholic Charities wanted to work to place children in that optimal living environment but now can't is heartbreaking no matter what the reasoning for the new requirement.

"Intelligent Design" is a cheap way of sneaking Creationism in by the back door, and has rightly been derided as such. MelonCollie on December 30, 2011 at 11:35 AM
So apparently you believe in unintelligent design?

If the Catholic Church is unable to facilitate adoption in a non-hateful manner against gays, then other groups will have to be created to do that job. thuja on December 30, 2011 at 2:16 PM
Rather than showing hostility to sex perverts, the RC Church is showing love for the children, as well as for its Lord. If someone is unqualified to partake of the church's offerings, it's the church's right to have set the criteria.
There are many criteria that would obviate someone as an adoptive parent in the church's eyes. In a free country, churches and individuals are able to live their lives and run their ministries in accordance with their faith, or lack thereof.
Would you demand that the church commune non-members, or people who are at odds with the church's creed? Apparently you would – unless you are just hell-bent on defending sex perverts no matter what they want to do.

It was a religious practice of a Darwin-free society, the Utopia many of you wish for. Dan_Yul on December 30, 2011 at 2:30 PM
Huh. So human sacrifice ended among the Aztecs once The Origin of Species was translated into their language.
I did not know that.
Akzed on December 30, 2011 at 2:37 PM
That's actually a good point: if the church took action that contradicted its creeds and principles, then it would be derided as hypocritical. So you're caught with the undesirable options of being criticized for not living up to your ideals, or for living up to ideals that they didn't accept in the first place. The Schaef on December 30, 2011 at 2:33 PM
People rightly condemn priests who molest boys for a variety of reasons, including the hypocrisy of gross violation of church doctrine.
We tend not to hear as much about public school teachers' child molestations, committed in an environment where Darwin reigns supreme. There's nothing hypocritical about molesting children where the law of the jungle is the rule.
Akzed on December 30, 2011 at 2:41 PM
No, it ended when the Christians showed up and began their genocide against the native people's of the Americas. I must grant that it was very nice of the Christians to allow them to join the club before exterminating them. Dan_Yul on December 30, 2011 at 2:44 PM
So was it that they were Darwin free that made the sacrifice captives or not? By that "logic" everyone was sacrificing humans until Darwin wrote a book.
Cortez enlisted the victimized tribes the Aztecs enslaved and sacrificed to take down the Aztecs. It was an easy sell.
Akzed on December 30, 2011 at 2:50 PM
It wasn't his to give. Perhaps that's why Christ wasn't tempted? runawayyyy on December 30, 2011 at 2:46 PM
He wasn't tempted? He certainly was, however, there was no possibility of his accepting the offer. I could tempt you with receiving stolen property, but whether or not you accept is your choice.
Akzed on December 30, 2011 at 2:52 PM
Well, moron, since I was making the point about how much I value freedom of association, it should have obvious to even you that I make no demands on who a church does religious activities with. And isn't fair to call you a moron since you call gay "perverts"? And isn't name calling so cool? thuja on December 30, 2011 at 2:48 PM
So, there's no such thing as the misuse of one's sex organs?
If you tried to eat peas with a hammer, you would be engaged in perverted dining. Or don't you recognize any form of perversion?

Fried Cornbread With Corn and Chiles
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
When I was growing up, my Grannie would make fried cornbread in the skillet on top of the stove to save time, instead of baking it in the oven. I always loved it...it didn't crumble and fall apart, and it was nice and crispy. Try regular cornbread that way...it is wonderful with some cabbage, pinto beans, fried apples and southern cooked pork chops! This recipe is a souped up version of what she used to make. To me its a meal in itself, but it really goes well with chili! Its also good dipped into homemade salsa. This is best cooked in a cast iron skillet, although you may use others.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 1⁄2 cups yellow cornmeal
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 6 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 cups milk, buttermilk if you are feeling decadent
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter or 1⁄2 cup margarine, melted
- 4 cups frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
- 1⁄2 cup roasted red pepper, coarsely chopped (feel free to use the jarred variety)
- 1 (4 1/2 ounce) can green chilies, chopped and drained
- Combine cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Stir in eggs, milk, and butter. Batter will be thin!
- Stir in corn, roasted peppers, and chiles.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot, lightly greased skillet. Cook until tops are covered in bubbles (like a pancake) and edges look cooked. Turn and cook other side.

I loved these fried cornbread pancakes. So very yummy. Quick and easy to make with amazing results. I made half a batch, boy does it make a lot. They do freeze well. I just popped them into the toaster still frozen and voila the perfect treat. I served them with real maple syrup and candied bacon for the best lunch. The savory corn and chilies work beautifully with the sweet syrup. Thanks so much for sharing this lovely recipe, that I will be enjoying often. Made fyc tag game.
Oh, the humanity!This was very yummy. I quartered the recipe and it fed and adult and two little kids. It's exactly as described . Left out the chilies to be child friendly and the butter to be mommy friendly. Absolutely a keeper! Thanks.
These are absolutely delicious, we loved them! Very easy to make too. Thanks for a sure keeper Breezermom!

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Florida has ruled sophomore defensive
tackle Sharrif Floyd ineligible.
Officials say Floyd will not be able to compete until he is reinstated by the NCAA. They say his eligibility issues are not related to sports agents, university boosters or his recruitment to the school.
Floyd chose the Gators over Ohio State, North Carolina and Southern California. Florida officials say they will not have any additional comment on the matter until it is resolved.
Floyd, a 6-foot-3, 295-pound Philadelphia native, played in all 13 games last season and started two. He had 23 tackles and 6.5
tackles for loss.
Floyd had been projected to start against Florida Atlantic on Saturday night.

The short question is that I'd like to know if it is possible to give ssh connections 'friendly' names in terminal?
My long reasoning is...
I've got several server clusters running behind a single IP address via NAT. I can SSH into the individual servers in each cluster with different port numbers e.g:
ssh clust1 -p 2210
ssh clust1 -p 2220
ssh clust1 -p 2230
In Putty/Windows I would give each connection a different name (clust1-web1, clust1-web2, clust1-web3), but in Terminal I cannot see a way to do this. This poses a problem because I cannot differentiate the server I'm connecting to by hostname, and the port numbers are somewhat random.

In an attempt to indicate that something is not right, the body usually sends a variety of warning signs, which we tend to dismiss faster than a 6 a.m. morning alarm. More often than not, we snooze these alarms with some sort of medication or quick fix, without thinking twice about the root of the problem.
I recently hit a MAJOR body/weight/exercise milestone. No, I didn't lose 10 pounds. Nope, I didn't finish a half-marathon. Nah, my pants aren't feeling any looser. My milestone involves me... in the nude... looking in the mirror. And rather than beating myself up for what I saw, I gave myself grace.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Skier's Thumb
In this article
Skier's Thumb Overview
Skier's thumb describes an injury of the soft tissue that connects the bones of your thumb together. In medical terms, this soft tissue is called a ligament.
Skier's thumb accounts for a significant number of skiing injuries. In severe cases, with complete tearing of the ligament, this injury must be surgically repaired. The ultimate stability of the ligament is important because of its contribution to the grasping function of the thumb.
People with skier's thumb may be able to return to work and even skiing in a short period with proper rehabilitation.
Skier's Thumb Causes
Skiing accidents are the most common causes of damage to the ligament that cause the injury known as skier's thumb. Injuries of this ligament make up 8-10% of all skiing accidents.
A fall on an outstretched hand with a ski pole in the palm of your hand creates the force necessary to stress the thumb and stretch or tear the ligament. A simple fall on an outstretched hand with an empty palm usually does not create this same force. However, your thumb can also be injured if it jams into packed snow at high velocity.
Another less common cause of this injury is an automobile crash when the driver has the thumb alone draped over the steering wheel. Any injury in which the thumb is abnormally bent backward or to the side can cause skier's thumb.
Skier's Thumb Symptoms
These symptoms may occur minutes to hours after the fall that created the injury:
- Pain at the base of the thumb in the web space between thumb and index finger
- Swelling of your thumb
- Inability to grasp or weakness of grasp between your thumb and index finger
- Tenderness to the touch along the index finger side of your thumb
- Blue or black discoloration of the skin over the thumb
- Thumb pain that worsens with movement in any or all directions
- Pain in the wrist (which may be referred pain from your thumb)
When to Seek Medical Care
If you experience any of the symptoms of skier's thumb following an injury, call your doctor as soon as possible. Follow your doctor's instructions about special home care considerations and find out when your thumb can be checked.

text: I've been building my first WP site on my live server which is fine for now because it's not public yet, so if I break something it's OK since nobody's looking at the site (and I have it password-protected until launch). But once it's launched and no longer protected, and people are visiting it, I'll want to be able to make edits to my child theme and to content locally on my office computer and test changes there instead, before uploading them to my host server. So I expect I'll install MAMP and use FTP-based sync for my child theme's files, as I have done before on a traditional static site. But since WP uses a mySQL database for the content, I will also need to keep my local database and the hosted database in sync and FTP would not work well for that unless I know exactly which files contain mySQL's data and I lock visitors out from posting comments while I'm making updates locally, right? Is there a simple utility for keeping the databases in sync? If not, how have other people addressed this issue?

Talk:Montreal Exchange
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Montreal Exchange article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Article policies
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Terrorist bombing[edit]
The Montreal Stock Exchange bombing of 13 February 1969 was by Pierre Charette and Alain Allard, using a bomb prepared by Pierre-Paul Geoffroy. The Geoffroy 'reseau' comprised two four-man cells. One cell included Geoffroy, Charette, Allard and Pierre-Paul Lacourse alias Maltais). This cell was responsible for most of the 58-or-so bombings in Montreal during 1968 and the first months of 1969. The second cell included Normand Roy, Michel Lambert, Jean-Marie Roy (brother of Normand) and Jean-Raymond Langlois.
Two days after the arrest of Geoffroy, Charette and Allard fled to New York. In May they boarded a flight to Miami, and highjacked it to Cuba, where they would spend several years. In Havana they met Raymond Villeneuve, who had arrived in November 1968. Mario Bachand, who had no connection to the Geofferoy reseau, left Montreal for Havana in April 1969, following a trumped-up police charge to neutralize him before the McGill-francais demonstration of 29 March 1969, of which he was a principle organizer.
Neither Villeneuve nor Bachand had any involvement in the Stock Exchange bombing. To that extent, the article on the Montreal Exchange is incorrect.
The second cell of the Pierre-Paul Geoffroy reseau was in reality created by the RCMP Security Service, and Normand Roy and Michel Lambert were operatives under the control of the RCMP. It appears that Jean-Marie Roy and Jean-Raymond Langlois were dupes, unaware of the RCMP connection. What the RCMP motive was is not clear but it likely was political manipulation and 'intoxication' to discredit the Quebec separatist movement by linking it with FLQ terrorism. In any case, this is a most interesting episode in the history of the FLQ and of RCMP counter-terrorism. One of the interesting questions that arise is whether or not Pierre Trudeau, Minister of Justice at the time, sanctioned the operation.
The Montreal Exchange bombing greatly shocked the public, making arrests necessary. The members of the Normand Roy (RCMP) cell dropped out of site, and their existence was not made known. Roy and Lambert ended up in Algiers, arriving November 6 1970, where they established the Delegation Exterieur du FLQ (DEFLQ), which included Raymond Villeneuve, Denyse Leduc (girlfriend of Normand Roy) and one or two others. The DEFLQ was in reality a creation of the RCMP, to spy on the FLQ outside of Canada and to spy on other revolutionary groups in Algiers. It is not clear if Villeneuve was an RCMP operative or if he was a dupe.
Roy and Leduc murdered Mario Bachand in Paris, 29 March 1971, in RCMP operation "Whitelaw", which had been ordered directly by Prime Minister Trudeau and which had been planned for several months, beginning January 1970. The final order to go ahead with the operation was given in two meetings, 24 and 26 March 1971, the first attended by Solicitor-General Jean-Pierre Goyer, Deputy-Solicitor General Cote and Director General of the Security Service, John Starnes, the second attended by them and also RCMP Commissioner Len Higgit. It marked a milestone in the history of RCMP counter-terrorism and in the history of Canada, being the first known instance of Canadian state assassination. There is a great deal about the history of the FLQ and of RCMP counterterrorism that remains to be explored; regretably, and curiously, none on the academic specialists and other 'experts' on terrorist and related matters have shown interest in that history.

Re:Terrorist bombing[edit]
Interesting that you cite 'Last Stop, Paris' as your source, a book which is itself notable for a good number of errors. Marty55 (talk) 21:44, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
I know of only three errors in the text, none of which are significant: incorrect spelling of "Tupolev"; incorrect location of the "South Shore" community; incorrectly stating that Robert Lemieux was arrected under the War Measures Act (he was arrested shortly before the WMA was invoked, under another provision of law). I am curious how you (Marty55; is there a name?) arrived at your "notable for a good number of errors", a statement that in my view has no basis whatever. Please elaborate and tell us what errors you, Marty55, have identified. I am writing a second edition of Last Stop, Paris and would be pleased to make corrections to the text that I deem worthy.
I do find it curious that persons like yourself avoid the matter of state murder entirely and focus your attention upon a spelling error that you might find in what is a 320 page book, written on the basis of several years of intense, difficult research on hitherto ultrasecret records and matters.

i'm looking for script in awk which will check if it has proper bracket placing. used brackets are {} [] and () every bracket should be closed, and brackets can't be mixed, illegal example: ( [ ) ]
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
If what you are trying to do applies to a general purpose language, then this is a non-trivial problem.
To start with you will have to worry about comments and strings. If you want to check this on a programming language that uses regular expressions, this will make your quest harder again.
So before I can come in and give you any advice on your question I need to know the limits of your problem area. If you can guarantee that there are no strings, no comments and no regular expressions to worry about - or more generically nowhere in the code that brackets can possibly be used other than for the uses for which you are checking that they are balanced - this will make life a lot simpler.
Knowing the language that you want to check would be helpful.
If I take the hypothesis that there is no noise, i.e. that all brackets are useful brackets, my strategy would be iterative:
I would simply look for and remove all inner bracket pairs: those that contain no brackets inside. This is best done by collapsing all lines to a single long line (and find a mechanism to to add line references, should you need to get that information out). In this case the search and replace is pretty simple:
It requires an array:
And a loop through those elements:
My test file is as follows:
My full script (without line referencing) is as follows:
The output of that script stops on the innermost illegal uses of brackets. But beware: 1/ this script will not work with brackets in comments, regular expressions or strings, 2/ it does not report where in the original file the problem is located, 3/ although it will remove all balanced pairs it stops at the innermost error conditions and keeps all englobbing brackets.
Point 3/ is probably an exploitable result, though I'm not sure of the reporting mechanism you had in mind.
Point 2/ is relatively easy to implement but takes more than a few minutes work to produce, so I'll leave it up to you to figure out.
Point 1/ is the tricky one because you enter a whole new realm of competing sometimes nested beginnings and endings, or special quoting rules for special characters...
You'll have to read the file character-by-character. Build a stack of open brackets seen. When you see a close bracket, you can either pop the matching open bracket off the stack, or record an error that the brackets don't match.
awk's not the right tool for this job. I'd use a general purpose scripting language (Perl/Tcl/etc).

We are already planning for a completely different season to open Season 12. One that is sure to please our audience both old and new. We kick off our new season with EMPORER JONES by Eugene O'Neil. This play is one of O'Neil's major experimental works, mixing expressionism and realism. It's the play that established him as a successful playwright. Then, we move to a play written by Colm Tóibín, THE TESTAMENT OF MARY. This play is a one-woman solo performance depicting "the mother of Jesus [who] tells her story of her son's Crucifixion" and questions his death and divinity.
Next up, we move to a light-hearted comedy, THE MISS FIRECRACKER CONTEST, a Southern literature play written by Beth Henley. Set in Brookhaven, Mississippi, the play explores the themes of femininity, beauty, and the need to be accepted. We end this season with the play, MY NAME IS ASHER LEV by Aaron Posner. This is a powerful story of a boy prodigy who must be a painter at any cost - against the will of his family, community and tradition.
The South Camden Theatre Company is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional theatre company dedicated to helping revitalize the City of Camden, New Jersey by producing meaningful, professional theater in the City's Waterfront South District. Founded by a playwright, the South Camden Theatre Company stages seldom-seen, classic plays and original works as the resident theatre company at Waterfront South Theatre. South Camden Theatre Company is a proud member of The New Jersey Theatre Alliance, South Jersey Cultural Alliance, and the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance.
Situated just a block south of Broadway and Ferry Avenues in the Waterfront South neighborhood of Camden, this gorgeous state-of-the-art theater was designed to be reminiscent of Walt's Cafe, the corner bar, that once stood on this very corner.
Today, 96 seats and thousands of theatre patrons a year have replaced the bar stools and shipyard workers that at one time called this corner, "home".
Funding has been made possible in part by the Camden County Cultural & Heritage Commission at Camden County College, through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.

Africans Take HIV Medicines More Faithfully than North Americans

This comment was originally posted as a "Reader Response" on the publication date indicated above. All Reader Responses are now available as comments.
In 2001, the chief of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Andrew Natsios, gave this justification to the US Congress for why the agency opposed giving antiretroviral therapy (ART) to Africans with HIV:
"If we had [HIV medicines for Africa] today, we could not distribute them. We could not administer the program because we do not have the doctors, we do not have the roads, we do not have the cold chain... [Africans] do not know what watches and clocks are. They do not use western means for telling time. They use the sun. These drugs have to be administered during a certain sequence of time during the day and when you say take it at 10:00, people will say what do you mean by 10:00?"[1].
Natsios was not the only policymaker to justify withholding ART from Africans on the basis that weak infrastructure, or patients' inability to take tablets, would stymie adherence. Senior officials of the World Bank and Thai government said in The Lancet: "[ART] is not... a technology that most poor people could adhere to... [Further] The use of public funds to subsidize the treatment of patients in the poorest countries who are most able to comply... would be highly inequitable" [2].
Two new systematic reviews prove these speculations were mistaken [3,4]. Despite their continent's poverty, and schooled or not in time keeping, Africans overcome these barriers and are better than North Americans at taking ART. These studies correct the misconception of earlier, nonsystematic reviews that concluded that Africans' adherence to medicines is "often poor" [5].
The first review (which I coauthored) identified 31 studies from North America and 27 from sub-Saharan Africa examining adherence to ART [3]. The bottom line was simple: using the customary definition that "good adherence" means taking ART as prescribed 95% of the time or better, then 82% of Africans succeeded at that goal, compared with only 55% of North Americans (p is less than 0.001).
Some may see this result as surprising. To live in Nairobi means to face so many privations compared to New York that to overcome them and excel seems almost storybook untrue. But privation can cut both ways. People who have been denied the necessities of life, who then receive the gift of medicines and a chance to live, may be more likely to appreciate ART.
Although Africans take ART more faithfully that North Americans, there is room for improvement. Here is where the second review is instructive [4]. The authors identified 84 studies from rich and poor countries that qualitatively or quantitatively identified factors impeding or facilitating adherence to ART. The impeding factors in rich and poor countries were familiar ones: patients' aversion or forgetfulness about medicines; lack of trust in health workers; fears about AIDS or its treatment; and emotions of isolation.
The authors found only two qualitative studies of barriers and facilitators of adherence among patients in poor countries [4]. There is accordingly few data on which to conclude that, for example, patients must give up alcohol, or must undergo directly-observed therapy, to adhere to medicines, as some programs require [6,7].
In rich countries, the study failed to identify any obvious "big fix" that could turn non-adherent patients into adherent ones. On the other hand, for developing countries, "financial constraints" towered above the other reasons why poor patients may fail to adhere to ART. That is cruelly ironic, because the same international development policymakers who rejected the idea that poor people could adhere to ART also worked for financial donors such as USAID and the World Bank, and their passionate arguments against ART stalled the delivery of the one variable that helps adherence-money.
Where is the flaw that allows speculation to get ahead of evidence in development policymaking, and how can we recognize when a particular development policy is speculative, the better to abandon it? One should be highly suspicious whenever development policymakers sound dismissive of the people who they are hired to help. The central aspiration of development work is helping the poor and sick become richer and healthier. Such an aspiration is incompatible with speculating that certain foreigners are incapable of enjoying the fruits of development. I believe that the views of Natsios and the World Bank and Thai officials, speculating that Africans could not adhere to ART, were dismissive in just this way.
Dismissing patients like this leads to a lower standard of medical care. The medical establishment is more sensitive to the standard of care than is the development establishment, and so the medical establishment must be vigilant against bad development policy. Development policymakers have also freely opined that Africans could not manage to take artemisinin-based combination therapies for malaria, or second-line treatments for tuberculosis. We now know that Africans are capable of all these things-but overcoming the dismissals and excuses took years, during which millions died.

Laura, Minesh, Allison and I got an early start on Friday morning and were first at the Pine Creek TH. We headed to the very enjoyable four pitch route called Geronimo, 5.6+.
The climb is on the Jack Rabbit Buttress in the background basically between the two vehicles.
The route ascends the major crack near the center of the photo to the left of the two summits.
Allison following pitch one. Steep, juggy terrain characterizes this wonderful route.
Starting up pitch two.
A nice crack for protection and great juggy features for climbing. Perfect!
Starting up the third pitch now. Pitch 3 was the most enjoyable pitch on the route. Steeper with more varnished features.
The view from the top of the route looking back at Calico Hills on the left and Vegas in the distance on the right.
Allison following the fourth pitch. A nicely exposed arete finish.
A summit register with random photos and an Apple Pie Clif Shot (I ate it!) inside.
Rappeling the route. Unfortunately the rappeling sucks on this route and mares the overall experience. We had one stuck rope that I had to solo back up 5.6 terrain to retrieve.
Minesh leading up the second pitch of the route.
Laura following up the second pitch.
To wind down for the day we went to climb this awesome route, Side Effects, 5.10d, at Calico Basin. We don't know this guy but it shows the route.

SHORT TERM [Friday Through Saturday Night]...
Another fair and warm day is in store for the Region on Friday, as a
ridge of High Pressure to our north slides slowly eastward. High
temps are expected to range from the Upper 60s to the Lower 70s, but
could be a bit higher depending on how much cloud cover advances
from the north-northwest out ahead of the next Cold Front. This Cold
Front continues to gradually weaken, with the rain chances out ahead
of it for Friday night continuing to decrease over time. In fact,
just have 20 percent PoPs for light rain across the Northern half of
the CWA (with a small strip of 30s which may be later removed).
Highs are expected to be similar on Sat., but will ultimately depend
on cloud cover as the front moves through. On Sat. Night, the once
expected "colder air" continues to modify with time, and Low temps
may only reach Climo levels after all.

The closing day of a retrial for former Dodge City policeman Christopher Tahah was postponed until today. The trial, which began last Tuesday, was originally scheduled to end Friday but ran over and was on yesterday's docket. However, Tahah's defense attorney, Stephen Ariagno of Wichita, requested the postponement due to a family issue, according to Ford County Attorney Terry Malone.
Tahah was found guilty of felony murder and criminal discharge of a firearm in the May 4, 2007 death of his ex-girlfriend Erin Jones. A new trial was ordered by the Kansas Supreme Court which added instructions that would permit the jury to consider the lesser included offenses of second-degree reckless murder or involuntary manslaughter.
Closing arguments and jury deliberation are expected to begin today.

Quadron: For Love Of The Slow Jam
Hear The Music
Hey Love
It started with two young Danes growing up in Copenhagen, with a somewhat unorthodox love for 1970s soul music.
"It's not part of the culture and the history," Coco O., the singing half of the duo Quadron, explains. "Soul music was kind of a cute thing, but not serious. Rock music was serious."
Coco O. and producer Robin Hannibal (now part of another down-tempo duo, Rhye) made their first album as Quadron in 2009; their popularity has exploded since then. Coco's vocals have been compared to those of of Amy Winehouse and Mary J. Blige, and Jay-Z produced her recent cameo on the Great Gatsby soundtrack album. As she explains, the creation of that impressive voice owes a lot to to what her Danish upbringing lacked.
"I think a lot of soul music in America, a lot of soul artists, they learn how to sing or play in church," she says. "They learn how to really, really sing, with a lot of power and a lot of phrasings. And that's what I wanted growing up.
"I was so sad that I didn't have, like, a real church where I could learn how to really sing. But I think, because I didn't do that, I'm more sparse in my vocals. And I think that's a Danish thing — to just have what is necessary."
Quadron's new album, Avalanche, is out this week. Coco. O spoke about it with NPR's Rachel Martin; click the audio link to hear more of their conversation.

Candidate Qualifying Ends Today In Winter Haven and Lakeland
Published: Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 20, 2013 at 11:13 a.m.
LAKELAND | Qualifying to get on the ballot for the Nov. 5 municipal elections ends at noon today in Winter Haven and Lakeland.
An article on Page B3 on Friday incorrectly reported Timothy Pospichal's name as Tom and that he had not qualified for his seat in the Auburndale City Commission election. Pospichal has qualified for Seat 3 and is currently unopposed in the Nov. 5 election. Commissioner Marvin Wiley was incorrectly reported as having qualified. Wiley has not qualified for his Seat 2 post. The online version has been edited to reflect these corrections.
And of the four Polk County cities that hold their elections in November, Lakeland and Winter Haven might be the only ones with voters going to the polls.
Fort Meade's qualifying period ended last week with incumbent commissioners Jim Watts and Barbara Manley being re-elected to their posts without opposition.
In Winter Haven, with a half day left to get papers filed and campaign accounts opened, Commissioner Brad Dantzler has no opposition. Commissioner Steven M. Hunnicutt drew opposition Thursday from Debra Ogzewalla.
Auburndale had only one candidate by the end of Thursday for the open Seat 1: Jack Myers, a former Polk County commissioner and former Auburndale mayor.
Timothy Pospichal has qualified for Seat 3 and is currently unopposed in the Nov. 5 election.
Commissioner Marvin Wiley had not qualified for his Seat 2 post.
Unlike Winter Haven and Lakeland, Auburndale has a two-week qualifying period that will run until Sept. 27.
In Lakeland,Commissioner Don Selvage has no opponent so far for his Southwest District seat.
The two mayoral candidates, City Commissioner Howard Wiggs and Mayor Gow Fields, have been running for months.

Title says it. mount is occasionally making NFS mount/unmount requests from insecure ports. I believe the issue is being caused by all of the secure ports being stuck in TIME_WAIT after periods of very high mounting activity (amd). Is there any way to change this behavior? I don't want requests being sent from insecure ports, whether there are available secure ports or not. I'd rather the mount hang while it waits for a secure port. Allowing requests from insecure ports on the NFS servers is not an option.
I didn't see anything in the man pages for mount, nfs, or mount.nfs for controlling this. To alleviate the issue, I tried net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse=1, but it didn't seem to help.
Thanks in advance.

Is there a tool that will help me quickly create posts based on these file uploads?

Talk:M40 recoilless rifle
Actually, even if they are not experts, these editors of this page have gotten their facts right on. Not many people know about the Swedish 106mm round that gives astonishing performance and the fact that while it is designated 106-mm its caliber is 105-mm. Jack --Jackehammond (talk) 07:24, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
A Volunteer[edit]
In 1975-76 I was the Antitank Platoon Leader of 3rd Battalion, 60th Infantry, during which time, the platoon transitioned from the M40 recoilless rifle to the M220 TOW missile system. I don't know if that qualifies me as an "expert" (in my opinion, the experts were my NCO's - MOS 11H Heavy Weapons Infantryman -who had spent their careers with it), but in the absence of someone else, I'm willing to give it a shot.
To begin with, I have to agree with the previous poster, when I read the article, the facts seemed correct, so I was rather surprised that it was flagged. When I checked the list of articles flagged, it was listed under every category, so I'm not sure what to address. As my old copy of the Soldiers' Guide states, "A soldier must know his mission", so I'd like the moderators to please state what they are questioning and what needs to be done so I can address theese concerns.
"One Oh Six, ON THE WAY!!"
Beausabre (talk) 18:19, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
- Wikipedia doens't have moderators, and (wisely or unwisely) tends to respect citations to sources more than it respects subject matter experts. However, not having moderators means that everyone is an expert, so I've removed the "needs attention" template based on your assessment on the accuracy of the article. If someone thinks the template needs to be there, then they can help us out by explaining here, what the problems are.
- But do go ahead on improving the article! One thing to watch out for is that Wikipedia is not supposed to be a recounting of what you know from personal experience, but instead we're supposed to summarise what has already been published in other sources. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:50, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Possible Changes or Additions[edit]
I went through the article again with a critical eye and the following points occurred to me. I am going to post them ane wait several months for comment before I change the article - so I would appreciate feedback from readers.
1. Have a link to the Recoilless Rifle page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recoilless_rifle
2. The question of why the weaapon was designated as "106" mm is a vexing one. My understanding has always been that the ammunition was incompatible with the 105mm M27 and to avoid confusion in ammunition supply and possible safety problems, the "change" in caliber was decided upon. Frankly, I don't trust secondary sources here - they may all be echoing each other as the parrot the story "everybody knows". Short of visiting the National Archives and crawling through the Ordnance Committee minutes of the period - and even then, they may not include the reasoning but just that the Committee approved the new designation - I don't think a citation is possible. I think "weasel words" like "It is commonly thought that the reason for the change was etc."
3. Include the fact that the tripod mount was the M79
4. Combat use - Seeing that both the Israelis and Jordanians had them, they were probably used in the 1967 and 1973 Mideast Wars. Additional candidates are the Iran-Iraq war(Iran)and Lebannese Civil Wars. I quesstion its use in the Falkland Conflict as the Argentines are not listed as users and the British did not use the M40 series - their equivalent was the 120 mm BAT/WOMBAT/CONBAT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L6_Wombat).
5. Repleacement by the BGM-71 TOW system is, to split hairs, incorrect. BGM-71 is the designation of the missile, the system (launcher, sight/tracker, guidance unit, tripod and missile)is the M220/M220A1 (FM 3-23-24)
6. The spotting rifle was the M8C. Since their might have been earlier units (to include an M8), I am tending toward "M8 series spotting rifle"
7. The Spotter-Tracer round was the M48/M48A1 and it was not related except for its cailber to the round fired by the M2/M3 series machine guns.
8. US vehicles included the M38A1C (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys_M38) with a split windshield to accomodate the barrel, M151A1C with attachment points for the mount and seats for two crewmmen on the rear fender and the M825 which was the equivalent based on the M151A2. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M151_MUTT). Except for the Ontos and M274 Mule, no other platforms were standardized (in spite of field expedient mounts on M113's, naval patrol craft, etc in Vietnam). As fas as the rest of the world goes, the weapon could be mounted on virtually any light tactical wheeled or tracked vehicles, so the possibilities are endless.
9. Give the designation of the Ontos (M50/M50A1) and its link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M50_Ontos
10. Give the link to the Japanese Type 60 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_60_Self-propelled_106_mm_Recoilless_Gun
11. Ammunition. I question whether "High Explosive Antipersonnel" or "Cannister" rounds existed. If they did, who manufactured and who fielded them? Second, point out that HEP rounds were anti-material or "bunker buster" rounds with a secondary and limited anti-armor capability.
12. Add that a subcaliber device - the Rifle 30 caliber M9 - existed for training on restricted ranges or for low cost practice to keep the troosp sharp between Annual Service Practice.
13. I remember the "book" maximum effective range as 1100 meters, so I'm going to have to dig around the Net and would appreciate any pointers to references they may be aware of.
Thanks for your help. Beausabre (talk) 19:11, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
105mm shell designation vs 106mm shell designation[edit]
I am aware there is quite some confusion and disagreement regarding the ammunition type. I believe I have appropriately sourced the claim that it was renamed to 106mm to prevent confusion. If this is so, should not the references to "106mm" shells be renamed to 105?

My blog is at euniqueflair.com and I changed my host.
After changing host, I also decided to use a new wordpress instead of transferring the old wordpress data over.
I also installed WP-stats for this new wordpress, but my stats does not update anymore. It only shows my old stats and the rest of the days are zero till today.
Is there anything I'm not doing right? Or should I sign up for another wordpress account so that my ACI key is a different one?

The Australian Defence Force has operated and trained in the Great Barrier Reef region for more than 100 years.
Training activities are undertaken in a few designated areas of the Reef, covering less than four per cent of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
While most of these areas are small, the Townsville Star and the Shoalwater Bay Defence Training Area near Rockhampton are two of Australia's largest defence training areas. Other field training areas are located at Halifax Bay and Cowley Beach.
Training areas are regularly used by the Australian Defence Force and occasionally by other countries for land and sea-based exercises.
Activities include navy clearance dive training, boating and navigation exercises, and amphibious landings.
The Australian Department of Defence directly manages all defence training activities.
It also manages the environmental impacts within the Marine Park in collaboration with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, the Australian Department of the Environment and Queensland government agencies.
The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning Plan provides for use and entry for defence activities without permission after notification to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. These activities are subject to any directions from the agency.
Defence activities are well planned and well resourced, so incidents causing harm to the habitats and species in the region are rare.
High impact activities are confined to specific localised areas and limited to a few weeks per year.
Many defence activities are conducted with dedicated shipboard and aerial observers who can collect data on marine wildlife sightings, and ensure activities are delayed if required.
The Department of Defence has a moratorium on the use of high explosives in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area except in the Shoalwater Bay training area.

From Pastor Kenny:
A few weeks ago, it was my joy to speak to the MOMS group at our church. After a brief devotional, I shared with them this list of parenting tips from our experience and aspirations. Although I know my wife's list would overlap this list, hers would have its own unique contribution. And of course, there are more 'tips' than these. These are merely the ones that seemed most pressing to hold out to the mothers at the meeting.

Have you ever had one of those conversations where you just felt like, "What am I supposed to do now?" I have. After it happened, I went to the concordance of my Bible and looked under despair. I didn't feel like I was in the despair category yet, but I didn't want to go there. I only found one reference to despair, but it was a good one: 2 Corinthians 4:8.

Ten Lessons I Learned from My Father
1) When things don't go the way they should, God always makes them turn for good.
Romans 8:28 was as prominent as John 3:16 in our home. "God works all things together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose."
2) God can be trusted.
He never murmured at the providence of God, not even when God took my mother at age 56. "In God I have put my trust, I will not be afraid, what can man do to me?" (Psalm 56:11).
Teenage Resolutions: For Mom and Dad
Resolved: I will obey your instructions and do what I know you expect of me, even when it is not mentioned. I will not force you into repeated reminders, which I sometimes call nagging.
Resolved: I will not grumble or complain when I do my chores, but remember what a great thing it is to have a family and a home and clothes and food and running water and electric light and central heating in a world where millions of teenagers have none of these.
The Fruitful Tree
No tree however deep the roots,
However high and green the shoots,
However strong the trunk has stood,
Or firm the fibers of the wood,
No tree was ever meant to be
A never-ending shade for me
Or you. Save one: where Jesus died
With bleeding branches spread as wide
And far as faith for sinful men.
But there was shade, especially when
The tree was old: the leaves were thick
With life, and though the root was sick,
The bark deep-creased with age, the limbs
Were laden down with love, and hymns
A Note to Parents of Young Children
The fastest growing department at Bethlehem Baptist Church is the nursery—and there is no end in sight. My wife knows of ten expectant mothers at BBC. There are some really tough questions we parents of young children face. How early should we try to help our child make a decisive commitment to Jesus as Savior and Lord? How can we do it so it has meaning and so he remembers it? What about baptism and communion?
