Eagle named MVP to All-District
By JON FULBRIGHT
Sports Editor
PECOS, November 13, 1997 - Pecos Eagles' senior Lori Marquez
was selected as the Most Valuable Player for the
All-District 4-4A volleyball team, while two other Eagles
were named to the squad and two more received honorable
mention in voting by district coaches.
The team was chosen during Wednesday's coaches meeting, and
Marquez was named as the league's MVP even though the Eagles
placed third, behind Andrews and Big Spring, in the 4-4A
"I was surprised. I was expecting the kid from Andrews (Ali
Bane) to get it," said Eagles' coach Becky Granado. "The
coaches went by statistics, and Lori averaged eight kills
per game, which was high in the district."
Marquez, who was an all-state selection last season, led the
Eagles in kills and blocks for the third straight year.
"She's a good all-around player on offense and defense.
Principally, that was the advantage she had over the other
kids," Gran ado said.
Marquez was joined on the first team by senior Marisol
Arenivas as a defensive specialist, while senior setter
Annette Marquez was a second team pick. Two other seniors,
outside hitter Ivy Thorp and middle hitter Gail Taylor, were
the honorable mention choices by the 4-4A coaches.
"I felt Marisol would have a chance with her defense,"
Granado said, while Marquez was the Eagles' main setter this
season. "She had a lot of assists setting up Lori, so that
was good for her."
Taylor and Thorp were the Eagles' second and third-leading
hitters this season, as Pecos finished with a 17-12 record
before falling to El Paso High in the bi-district round of
the playoffs. Andrews and Lake View were ousted last week in
Class 4A area round play.
Andrews' Bane, a junior, and senior Holly Fields were the
Mustangs' two first-team picks, while junior Erin Graham was
Newcomer of the Year and the Mustangs' Penny Bane was named
Coach of the Year. Second place Lake View had only one first
team pick, sophomore hitter Hillary Lee, while Big Spring
senior hitter Krissy McWhorter, Fort Stockton junior hitter
Elisa Espino and Sweetwater junior blocker Vanessa Lehrmann
were the other first-team picks.
Joining Annette Marquez on the second team were Andrews'
Lindsey Hudgens and Leesa Lopez, a senior hitter and junior
setter; Lake View's Stacy Bartz and Brittany Dendle, a
senior blocker and junior setter; Fort Stockton senior
blocker/setter Ashlea Creech; and Big Spring senior blocker
Keesha Lott and senior setter Jessica Cobos.
The other honorable mention picks were Lake View junior
hitter Amy Rodriguez and senior setter Alma Ortiz; Fort
Stockton senior hitter Mandy Lujan; Big Spring senior
blocker Honey Belew and Sweetwater senior hitter/setter Kori
District football coaches also selected their 1997 4-4A team
on Wednesday in Big Spring, but that team will not be
released until after the three 4-4A teams in the playoffs,
Sweetwater, Big Spring and Andrews, are eliminated. Those
teams play their first round games against El Paso High, El
Paso Ysleta and El Paso Riverside this Saturday.
Police chief announces retirement
PECOS, November 13, 1997 - Pecos Police Chief Troy Moore
announced his retirement as head of the Pecos Police
Department at this morning's city council meeting. In
executive session Moore agreed, at the council's urging, to
remain in office beyond the January 31, 1998, deadline of
his retirement notice should no other candidate arise to
fill his position.
"I had tentatively planned to retire in mid-year 1998, but
due to recent circumstances that have occurred in my life I
feel it is now time to retire," read the statement issued by
"'You got to know when to hold'em and know when to
fold'em,'" Moore said later, quoting a Kenny Rogers song.
The recent death of his wife prompted the move, Moore said,
as well as a desire to spend time with family who live out
of town.
City Manager Kenneth Neal said, "We tried to convince him to
stay...but I understand (his reasons)."
Moore's letter of retirement presented to the council
continued, "I appreciate the support and respect I have from
the Council and have tried, to the best of my ability, to
serve the community in the most positive manner I know.
"I feel that together we have had the opportunity to build a
stable, better trained and equipped department, than we have
had in the past. I feel that it has been a privilege to have
served the citizens of Pecos for the last ten years."

All defendants plead guilty in district court
By PEGGY McCRACKEN

Paperwork crowds county officials out of room
By CARA ALLIGOOD
Staff Writer
PECOS, November 13, 1997 - Talk about being buried in
paperwork! Boxes of paper records are taking up so much
space in the Reeves County Courthouse that county officials
are considering acquiring a separate building just to house
it all.
"I'm running out of space," says County Clerk Dianne Florez.
Every document ever filed with Reeves County is stored in
the courthouse. The county clerk is the chief recorder for
all land transactions that take place in the county. Florez
keeps records for four different courts: civil, criminal,
probate and juvenile. She keeps the minutes from
commissioners court. Then there are the birth certificates,
marriage licenses, bills of sale, assumed name documents for
businesses, incorporations, liens, election records, Letters
Testamentary, guardianship appointments, wills and death
certificates, all on file.
All these records have to be maintained indefinitely, so
Florez has to find a way to keep and store them all.
"People are constantly filing new instruments (documents),
so our records keep growing," she said.
The problem is that the county clerk's office isn't big
enough to store all the records that need to be kept. The
volume of records keeps growing and Florez is running out of
storage space. Even the basement is almost full of old
"People complain because some of the records are stored so
high that they can't reach them," Florez said. "And I don't
blame them."
The County Clerk's office is lined with wall-to-wall shelves
that stretch from floor to ceiling and are filled with
binders full of records. That doesn't include the records
stored under work tables, in the back section of the office
and in the basement.
Not only is the courthouse crowded with records, there are
even water leaks in the old building that could damage the
records kept there, Florez said.
County commissioners have discussed the possibility of using
a building repossessed by local taxing entities at 213 S.
Oak to store county records.
"That would be beneficial," Florez said. "It would be better
if we could have a building of our own so we would have
enough room for everything we need to keep in our office."
In addition to the records, the county clerk's office
contains numerous storage units, work tables, desks, three
copy machines (two provided by abstract companies in
addition to the one provided by the county) and four
computer terminals. Florez has three deputies who work for
her, so there also has to be enough room for her and her
staff to work, as well as space for the public who need
access to records.
"We do have some records that are on microfilm and we are
getting ready to do some more," she said.
However, hard copies of all those records still need to be
stored. Currently, records on microfilm are kept at First
National Bank, Florez said. The county does not have the
capability to copy their records from microfilm. If copies
are needed from microfilm the film has to be sent
out-of-town, according to Florez.
Florez has spoken to vendors about a cashiering system that
would tell which volume of the record books and what page
number a record is on as well as how much a person would
have to pay for a copy of a record. But the county hasn't
purchased the system yet.
County officials have also considered reducing the volume of
records by transferring them to smaller binders, but that
would be expensive and time-consuming, Florez said. In
addition to purchasing the new binders, she would have to
hire additional personnel to work on the project because the
staff she has is already too busy with their current duties.

Samuel George Davis Sr. (December 12, 1900 – May 21, 1988) known as Sammy Davis Sr. was an American dancer and the father of entertainer Sammy Davis Jr.
Sammy Davis Sr. was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, to Rosa B (Taylor) and Robert Davis. He and his former wife Elvera Sanchez were both dancers in a vaudeville troupe. The couple split up when their son Sammy Jr. was three. Davis Sr. took custody of his son, who then went into show business with his father.
He and Will Mastin, the leader of the dance troupe, taught Sammy Jr. how to dance and they performed together as the Will Mastin Trio. Sammy Jr. once stated, "When I was nine I told my father, 'I can outdance you'. 'Oh yeah? What makes you think that?' he asked. 'Cause you taught me everything I know'. 'Yeah, but I didn't teach you everything I know".
Sammy Davis Sr. began dancing early in life, and as a young man joined Will Mastin to form a dancing troupe. Soon Sammy Jr. joined the act and they became known as the Will Mastin Trio. The three appeared in the 1956 Broadway musical Mr. Wonderful.
Sammy Davis Sr. also appeared in two movies, Sweet and Low and The Benny Goodman Story. In The Benny Goodman Story he played bandleader and arranger Fletcher Henderson.
Sammy Davis Sr. died May 21, 1988, in Beverly Hills, California, at the age of 87, of natural causes, two years before the death of his son, Sammy Davis Jr.

Editable binder covers can add the perfect touch to your classroom organization!
Be sure to read to the bottom of the post for links to our free teacher planning binder, reading management binder & student data tracking binder.
Every teacher has the wish to make the new school year more organized than the previous one. However, we know from experience that the best intentions are often hard to keep!
We have found that beginning the year with a new planning binder that is well organized is one easy way to get the year started in the right direction.
We were excited to find a wide assortment of durable Avery binders and dividers to use in putting together new planners – there were so many choices but we decided to stick to the ones with clear covers so we could add our own, fun binder covers.
We created a collection of editable binder covers to add to our binders.
We have created an assortment of covers so you can choose one that fits your classroom. The files are created in PowerPoint.
All you need to do is download the files, open and edit to make them yours!
You will need the fonts Road Movie and AdLib BT.
We have also included spines to add to your binders. Just edit the text and insert into the side of your binder.
This first collection contains an assortment of 15 editable binder covers, in a variety of themes.
Download Here: Assorted Binder Covers
We have a few more collections you might want to check out. Each of these sets has multiple pages in different colors to fit the theme.
Arrows / Black, White & Glitter / Sports / Pirates
Once you have your trendy binder ready to go, check out our other tips for starting the year off right!
1. Be ready to focus on community building the first week of school! We know that there are assessments to complete, supplies to organize and information to collect. But, make sure you schedule time to work on getting to know each other well. A strong sense of community is an important part of a successful classroom.
2. Have a plan for collecting and organizing supplies. Make sure you think this through ahead of time! Students will show up with bags of supplies the first day and dump them in your newly organized room. Having a plan for organizing will help you make sure your room isn't a mess on day one.
3. Prepare a parent-information letter for the first day of school. As parents, we know that students will always come home and respond with "nothing" when asked what they did. Help anxious parents learn about their child's first day with a simple note that tells about the day.
If you don't yet have an organizational binder, you can check out ours. We have many free binders that will make planning much easier!
As always, all of our resources are free. Many of the templates included in our binders below are editable. Print, pick up some Avery binders and dividers and assemble for the perfect classroom binders! (If you aren't looking to add your own covers, we suggest checking out the Glitter & Fashion line – these glittery products look like fun!)
Do you have other great back to school tips for starting your year off right? We would love for you to share your ideas below!

Longford at home to Dublin
Longford through to the O'Byrne Cup semi-final
It is early days yet in the return of Denis Connerton as the manager of the Longford senior football squad but a steady start has been made to the new season with wins over Wicklow and NUI Maynooth along with the narrow defeat against Westmeath in the group stage of the O'Byrne Cup.
And with Westmeath suffering a surprise setback against NUI Maynooth last weekend, it is Longford who have ended up in the semi-final of the Leinster senior tournament against the All-Ireland champions Dublin who are the big attraction at Glennon Brothers Pearse Park on Sunday next, throw-in 2pm.
Connerton is delighted with the extra game in the build up to the National League Division 3 campaign, which starts on Sunday January 31st away to Offaly. But the vastly experienced coach will not be getting carried away with the results so far in the O'Byrne Cup with the counties involved generally fielding experimental teams.
Longford recovered from the bitter disappointment of letting a commanding ten points lead slip in the midweek fixture 0-14 to 1-10 loss against Westmeath played in horrendous conditions amid the lashing rain and strong wind at the St Loman's GFC grounds in Mullingar by beating Wicklow at Pearse Park on Sunday last.
But the county had to battle hard to emerge victorious by four points and are now facing a serious test against the might of Dublin. Although their manager Jim Gavin has been experimenting in playing some of the promising U-21s from the past couple of years and has already used a total of 29 players in the current O'Byrne Cup, quite a few regulars have featured in the group games against Wexford (which ended in a draw), Carlow IT and DCU.
In action for the strong DCU side at Parnell Park on Sunday last were Longford players Michael Quinn and Rory Connor but Dublin still proved too good in their 1-16 to 1-12 victory to clinch their place in the O'Byrne Cup semi-final.
Six of the team that started in last year's All-Ireland final against Kerry lined-out against the students last weekend, notably Philly McMahon, Jonny Cooper, James McCarthy, Denis Bastick, Dean Rock and Paddy Andrews.
John Small and Darren Daly, brought on in the final quarter of the 2015 All-Ireland final, also featured against DCU as did other established members of the Dublin squad, Cormac Costello and Tomas Brady.
Longford are bidding to reach the O'Byrne Cup final for the first time since 2008 when they let victory slip away in the slender one point defeat (2-12 to 1-14) against Dublin in the title decider at Parnell Park.

Meditation Course Feedback
Gill Riley
Leicestershire, England
Thank you so much! I love doing courses with the School of Natural Health Sciences, and I am currently doing the Meditation Course.
I would highly recommend distance learning courses, and I have recently written an article for a local parish magazine on distance learning, and have included in that a link to the School of Natural Health Sciences. I look forward to receiving my diplomas – only problem now is where to put them on the wall – its getting very full!!!

As most of you know, I am a Business Management major at Northern Arizona University, and I am also in the process of gaining two Business Certificates in International Business and in Marketing alongside my Bachelor's degree. My ultimate goal, however, is to specialize in Human Resources. Due to business being such a passion of mine, as you all can see by my fields of study, I joined three specific business clubs within my high school career and my college one. I am part of DECA, Future Business Leaders of America, and American Marketing Association. I have been part of FBLA for the longest though, with 6 years and counting. Most of my confidence and communication skills were built within this organization throughout high school, and even today in my second year of college.
When I went to the University of Essex in Colchester, England during this past Fall semester, I studied some liberal classes and some business core classes that I would have taken at NAU. The difference in teaching style and business projects and assignments in England versus America was quite large. I felt good about the new business environment, though, due to Essex Business School being rated quite high in England. I knew I would come home with more knowledge, so I was really excited to be part of it.
Being in FBLA, of-course, and my other business endeavors and organizations, I decided to immediately find any Essex Business School clubs that I could join. Let me tell you, there weren't that many. Thankfully, I found their Marketing Society. They did not focus on competitions, like most of my clubs here at home do, but rather on mentorships, guest speakers, and enhancing one's business skills through workshops. I actually received a Certificate with the help of the Marketing Society though the business school while I was there.
It was a wonderful experience to be part of that club during my semester abroad, and it ended up being a highlight of my trip as a whole.The diversity factor in the organization was phenomenal, with individuals coming from all over Europe, and the President being from my home country of Romania, and I feel like meeting my colleagues really shaped my perception of how great International Business can become in the future with my generation. All it really takes is having common and ethical goals amongst us. I, of-course, tried to see if I could start up any of my own FBLA (or DECA or AMA) chapter while there, but I think I would have needed to stay for way longer than those three short months in order to create a truly successful organization at Essex.
In terms of travel, I did not realize how much business preparation and communication skills would help me in Europe. I cannot count the numerous times I used patience and professionalism to get things done, whether they be figuring out how to get out of tricky situations in a place whose language I did not know, or to simply receive grade transcripts to bring back to NAU from the Essex University Staff. I also used a lot of my presentation and business-strategy skills, acquired from the multiple roleplay competitions I have done throughout my years, to give presentations to students at Essex in a classroom setting.
It was quite incredible to study at Essex Business School and compare it to NAU's Franke College of Business, or even to the Barrett Honors College or W.P. Carey Arizona State University programs (Fleischer's and Business Scholars Institute) that I participated in previously. One thing that I observed, however, is that true leadership can be found world-wide. When people, and especially young individuals, place a common goal on the table and discuss strategies and potential improvements and ideas, things get done rapidly and efficiently. With the education we have world-wide, the innovation and technology offered to our generation, and the clubs and organizations that help shape our skills, we can really improve the business world. I saw clear examples of this in FBLA and in other business organizations at home, and in the Essex Marketing Society in England.
Thank you for reading!

So in previous times, people would talk about upsamling or superresolution ( see this eight year old blog entry entitled CS: Very High Speed Incoherent Projections for Superresolution, and a conference. on how it is done for HDTV) , in these times of the great convergence, CNNs come to the rescue (the second prepritn gives an explanation of one of the step of the first paper that was presented at CVPR:
Real-Time Single Image and Video Super-Resolution Using an Efficient Sub-Pixel Convolutional Neural Network by Wenzhe Shi, Jose Caballero, Ferenc Huszár, Johannes Totz, Andrew P. Aitken, Rob Bishop, Daniel Rueckert, Zehan Wang
Recently, several models based on deep neural networks have achieved great success in terms of both reconstruction accuracy and computational performance for single image super-resolution. In these methods, the low resolution (LR) input image is upscaled to the high resolution (HR) space using a single filter, commonly bicubic interpolation, before reconstruction. This means that the super-resolution (SR) operation is performed in HR space. We demonstrate that this is sub-optimal and adds computational complexity. In this paper, we present the first convolutional neural network (CNN) capable of real-time SR of 1080p videos on a single K2 GPU. To achieve this, we propose a novel CNN architecture where the feature maps are extracted in the LR space. In addition, we introduce an efficient sub-pixel convolution layer which learns an array of upscaling filters to upscale the final LR feature maps into the HR output. By doing so, we effectively replace the handcrafted bicubic filter in the SR pipeline with more complex upscaling filters specifically trained for each feature map, whilst also reducing the computational complexity of the overall SR operation. We evaluate the proposed approach using images and videos from publicly available datasets and show that it performs significantly better (+0.15dB on Images and +0.39dB on Videos) and is an order of magnitude faster than previous CNN-based methods.
Is the deconvolution layer the same as a convolutional layer? by Wenzhe Shi, Jose Caballero, Lucas Theis, Ferenc Huszar, Andrew Aitken, Christian Ledig, Zehan Wang
In this note, we want to focus on aspects related to two questions most people asked us at CVPR about the network we presented. Firstly, What is the relationship between our proposed layer and the deconvolution layer? And secondly, why are convolutions in low-resolution (LR) space a better choice? These are key questions we tried to answer in the paper, but we were not able to go into as much depth and clarity as we would have liked in the space allowance. To better answer these questions in this note, we first discuss the relationships between the deconvolution layer in the forms of the transposed convolution layer, the sub-pixel convolutional layer and our efficient sub-pixel convolutional layer. We will refer to our efficient sub-pixel convolutional layer as a convolutional layer in LR space to distinguish it from the common sub-pixel convolutional layer. We will then show that for a fixed computational budget and complexity, a network with convolutions exclusively in LR space has more representation power at the same speed than a network that first upsamples the input in high resolution space.

Tehran, Apr. 20 (CHN) - A conference will be held on the Persian Achaemenid empire from 29th of September to 1st of October in the British Museum, in conjunction with the exhibition of the "Forgotten Empire: The World of Ancient Persia" held there from 8th of September 2005 till 8th of January 2006.
The conference is organized by the British Museum and the Iran Heritage Foundation and will discuss different issues of the Achaemenid era of Persia. The committee includes John Curtis, Farhad Hakimzadeh, Sam Moorhead, St. John Simpson, and Nigel Tallis.
According to the website of Iran Heritage Foundation issues covered in the three-day conference include:
1. Problems with Achaemenid History - There are many unresolved issues in the history of the Achaemenid period and many areas for possible investigation. Topics that have been the focus of recent attention include the ethnicity of Cyrus, the significance of Gaumata's rebellion, and the genealogy of Darius. Amongst subjects for future discussion might be the transition between the Median and Achaemenid periods and the apparent ease with which the empire was overthrown in 334-331 BC.
2. Kingship - In this section we will tackle royal imagery, the status of the king and religious symbolism.
3. Functions of Administration - There will be an opportunity here to discuss administrative texts, seals and sealings, coins, and other matters pertaining to administration.
4. Gender, Society and Ethnicity - In Achaemenid art representations of women are rare, but there are many references to women in the administrative texts and other sources. We hope to consider this phenomenon and look at the place of women in the Achaemenid court and in society, as well as looking at other socio-economic groups that may not feature largely in the exhibition.
5. Religion and Burial - Whether the Achaemenid kings were Zoroastrians, or whether they were simply believers in Ahuramazda, or whether they respected various gods, are still subjects that are hotly debated. Some scholars point to the various gods listed in the Elamite tablets from Persepolis, while others believe that important clues can be found in the religious ceremonies listed in the archives. Equally enigmatic is the diversity of burial customs attested in the Achaemenid Empire, none of which conform to orthodox Zoroastrian practice.
6. Army - In building and maintaining one of the largest empires in antiquity, the Persian army (and to a lesser extent the navy) played a key role. There have been a number of recent studies on these subjects and the conference will present an opportunity to review the current state of research.
7. Empire - There will be scope here to discuss the history, art and archaeology of outlying parts of the Empire.
8. Art and Material Culture - Papers will be welcomed on all aspects of Achaemenid art such as the reliefs and glazed brick decoration and on groups of small finds such as the controversial discoveries at Kalma-kareh.
9. Interface between Persia and Greece - This would be a particularly appropriate subject for discussion in the British Museum where it will be possible to contrast the objects in the special exhibition with the extensive collection of sculpture from Asia Minor (particularly Xanthos and Halicarnassus) and from Greece itself (notably the Parthenon). Subjects for discussion might include cultural interaction and biased Greek perceptions of Persia that still persist in the west.
10. Power and Politics - The Persian Empire is often characterised as being tyrannical and despotic in contrast to enlightened western-style democracy. It would be interesting to take a fresh look at this traditional stereotype particularly in the light of recent events in the Middle East.
11. Legacy - A good deal has been written about the "discovery" of Ancient Persia by western travellers and we would like to redress the balance by concentrating on the continuation of the tradition in Parthian and Sasanian times and in Islamic period sources, and on the revival in the Qajar and Pahlavi periods.
The conference is held simultaneously with the largest ever exhibition on the Achaemenid era held form 8th of September 2005 to 8th of January 2006 in the British Museum, entitled "Forgotten Empire: The World of Ancient Persia". The items to be showcased in the exhibition include some of the finest pieces from the collections of The National Museum of Iran, many of which have not been seen outside Tehran before, as well as key pieces from the Louvre in Paris, the Vorderasiatisches (Ancient Near East Antiquities) Museum in Berlin and the British Museum's own significant collections.
The conference committee is calling for papers on the 11 themes proposed above, and the prospective speakers are to send a 250-300 word abstract by 15th of May 2005.

Wedding Photographers in Cardiff – Thank you Phill Anstice
We had a panic on this week. We had a request in from a newly married couple. They had planned to use one of their wedding photos in a wedding signature frame as a present, for both sides of the family.
The wedding photographer they had used (a family friend) hadn't quite lived up to expectations. Some of the main bride and groom shots had not quite worked out. Now most people may just Google "Wedding Photographers in Cardiff" , but we are lucky in that we have known a local wedding photographer for some years, and if he cant help out then he can recommend someone who can.
No Need – we put Phill in touch with the couple and within a day he had arranged a post wedding shoot of the couple and close family / friends and they managed to get the pictures they wanted. Even the vicar was available.
We dont get requests like this every week – but we'd just like to say thanks to Phill for going that extra step to help out. A great job – well done.

Fantax League 2017-18
I will be running 4 leagues next season:-
Stanley Mathews Prize League - $45entrance fee if 10 teams prize money 1st $200, 2nd $120, 3rd $80, 4th $50 Premier League + FA & League Cups, Champions League & Europa League
Bobby Moore Prize League - $45entrance fee if 10 teams prize money 1st $200, 2nd $120, 3rd $80, 4th $50 Premier League only
Premier Fantasy League - $30 entrance fee if 10 teams prize money 1st $130, 2nd $80, 3rd $50, 4th $40 Premier League only
Fantasy Premier League - $20 entrance fee if 10 teams prize money 1st $90, 2nd $50, 3rd $40, 4th $20 Premier League only
This might sound a lot but the fees are paid direct to Fantrax who hold the money until prizes are paid out at the season end and importantly I do not take a cut for running the leagues, ALL the fees collected are paid out as prize money.
In the above leagues every team will be unique as no player can be in more than one team. An online Draft will be held approx one week before the start of the season to select the teams which will each have a squad of 18 players, 11 to be selected for each match day. There will be a different date for each online auction. One transfer can then be made each week on a Friday during the season from the available pool of players. Choice of transfers is league table based with the bottom team having first choice and the top team last choice. The top team would choose several Free Agent players to ensure they got a new player. Free agent choice is not auction based.
Scoring points for goals forwards 6, midfield 8, defenders 10, GKs 12
points for assists forwards 3, midfield 4, defenders 5, GKs 6
hat tricks 10 points
penalty kick saves 2 points

The church of the Holy Sepulcher is one of the most unique and impressive sites in Israel, with an appeal transcends any religious definitions. Most Christian denominations mark this place as the site of Jesus' crucifixion, burial and resurrection, but even non-Christians find themselves marveling at the Escher-esque architecture and colorful stories from its long history.
Upon entering the church, one immediately encounters the structure that covers Calvary Hill, the modest limestone mound on top of which Jesus was crucified. Atop the winding flight of stairs lie three (out of the fourteen) Stations of the Cross - stops along the path of that fateful day. This essay will focus on the intricate mosaics covering the ceiling of the 11th station, a small Catholic chapel dedicated to Jesus' nailing to the cross.
The mosaics were the creation of Antonio Barluzzi (1884–1960), an Italian Franciscan monk and architect, known as "the Architect of the Holy Land". Throughout the 1930's he designed many of the Catholic churches in the most important holy locations, always striving to connect with ancient relics found on site and stay true to their style. Here he based all of his work on this exceptional medallion, which has survived from the Crusader period (it is very rare to find such ancient ceilings still in tact).
The arch leading into the chapel is decorated with two verses in Latin, taken not from the New Testament but from the Old, as if saying: if you want to understand what happened here, you must start at the very beginning. The first verse, where the words Ovis (lamb) and Occisionem (slaughter) can be seen, is taken from Isaiah 53:7 : "He was led as a lamb to the slaughter". The second, including the words Dolores Nostros (our suffering) is Isaiah 53:4 : "Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted."
These two verses stress that the drama here arises not from victimization by some enemy but from voluntary self sacrifice. This is in accordance with the Nostra Aetate, the Vatican's declaration from 1965 on the relation of the Catholic Church with non-Christian religions, stating among other things that the Jews should not be condemned for their role in bringing about the death of Jesus.
The arch leads to the first vaulted ceiling, depicting the four Old Testament prophets who have hinted at the eventual coming of Jesus, with quotes from their books that relate strongly to the topics of this chapel, the nailing in particular and the theme of sacrifice in general.
This is Isaiah, closest to the arch that bears his words, with a quote mentioning the word Oblatus (an offering). This is a different section from the same verse as the arch (53:7) : "He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth."
Daniel's apocalyptic book was very popular during the 2nd Temple period. The quote, the most prominent word of which is Christus (Christ), is taken from his Seventy Weeks prophecy, describing the coming of the Messiah and the rebuilding of Jerusalem (9:26) : "And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off". In his consecration speech in 335AD, the great Eusebius quoted this prophecy, stating that this very church was the "new Jerusalem" it was foreseeing.
The four prophets are surrounded with circles, portraying relevant stories from the Old Testament, all springing from the roots of a rich, fruit laden vine (representing wine, a recurring symbol for Christ).
The large mosaic on the wall (below to the left) depicts the Binding of Isaac. Like Jesus, this boy is lying quietly, allowing his own sacrifice. This story has always symbolized the boundless love between the Lord and mankind, but here the Lord wished to spare Abraham the pain of losing his beloved son for this love, and provided a ram to take his place - thus distinguishing Judaism from the pagan world at the time, in which child sacrifice was commonplace.
This connects us to the mosaic in the far end of the chapel (below to the right), showing Jesus, looking very similar to Isaac, being bound (with nails this time) to the cross. Note the small thorn bush in the back - but this time there is no ram caught in it. God does not spare himself the pain of sacrificing his own beloved son for his love of mankind.
Also in this mosaic we see Mary, mother of Jesus, standing in black above him. The woman crying over him is Mary Magdalene, who can always be identified by her unruly red hair, bursting out of her head cover, hinting at her strong personality and emotions.
The adjoining wall is dominated by Mary Magdalene in her grief. Again her hair/emotions cannot be held back, with Mary the mother of Jesus and Mary of Cleopas silent and reserved by her side. The man in red is John, Jesus' favorite disciple, whose beardless face show he must be very young here. According to tradition, the very same man grew up to write (among other things) the Gospel of John and the Book of Revelations, near the end of the 1st century. In the background we see the walled city of Jerusalem, reminding us that this place, now in the heart of the busy city, used to be an empty, wild wasteland.
As we advance to the next vaulted ceiling, we also advance in time into the New Testament. In the center there is a decorated circle. Inside are a Christogram, a combination of letters that forms an abbreviation for the name of Jesus Christ (in this case the letters chi (Χ) and rho (Ρ), the first two letters of "Christ" in Greek), and the letters alpha (A) and omega (ω), first and last letters of the Greek alphabet (mentioned in Revelations 22:13 : "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." ).
This fruit laden vine is as rich and plentiful as the one depicted on the previous ceiling, but among the baskets of abundance hide other symbols: the cup of agony (below to the left) and a reed with a vinegar-soaked sponge next to a spear (below to the right), reminding us of the price that was paid.
In the middle we see that the cross has became the tool by which Christ can redeem the world - an idea dubbed salus mundi. It is surrounded by 12 white doves, representing the apostles of course, but also the dozen tribes, signifying the universal nature of this idea.
Thus ends the story of this little chapel, which has led us from the first sin and away from heaven's Tree of Life, through prophecies, failures and hopes of redemption, all the way to the cross on Calvary hill - literally a Tree of Death - by which all humanity can to be saved.

Order Code: PLAQUE
Created especially for CGSUSA by Creator Mundi to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of CGSUSA and the 60th Anniversary of CGS in the world.
After reading the Gospel passage together, Gianna drew the shepherd and the sheep;
Sofia transposed these drawings onto wood and cut out the figures.
Then Gianna painted the figures and the materials were ready.
Except that the figures needed a box, and it was Sofia's task to make the box in wood.
The different tasks we would have in the atrium were immediately obvious:
Gianna was the artist, Sofia the artisan.

Frixos P.
Lesson Details
Frixos teaches
- Teaches students:
- Ages 7+ and special needs
- Teaching since:
- August 2010
Frixos states that his love for music probably started before he was born. "I'm pretty sure the Motown sounds my mother loved to listen and move to permeated to me through her." Add to that his exposure to different ethnic sounds like Greek (his origins) folklore and contemporary music, Portuguese Fado (his birthplace and early childhood), Italian Bel Canto and modern pop, American Jazz, Afro, etc. and it's easy to see how music helped shape Frixos' passion. Each had an influence on him, "as they were incessantly played by my parents," Frixos adds. "In fact it would be safe to say that music was the predominant form of entertainment at home."
By the age of seven, Frixos started to frequent a music school where he was introduced to percussion instruments. Soon after, he took on classical guitar based on the UK Royal Academy of Music curriculum. A couple of years later in 1998, Frixos found his true calling … music composition, Jazz and the Saxophone. Frixos' purple tenor sax goes everywhere he goes!
"Part of my love for the Saxophone is rooted in this instrument's versatility for improvisation." Moving into music composition seemed a natural course for Frixos to follow, culminating in his graduation in 2013 with a University of Florida Music Composition BA from The New World School of the Arts in Miami.
"I was fortunate to be selected to play in various collegiate and other Jazz bands and be mentored by great jazz performers and educators." Among them was Ed Calle, twice nominated for the Latin Grammy Award; Joe Donato, one of the most active and innovative musicians working in the field of jazz who has performed with many of the greats including Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Carmen McRae, Nina Simone, Jack Jones, and Arturo Sandoval; Rafael Valencia where "I was honored to play for his Latin Jazz Big Band" says Frixos; the wonderful pianist Jim Gasior who has played with Ed Calle, Wendy Pedersen, Fernando Ulibarri and Aaron Lebos; the published and well decorated guitarist Dr. Mike Di Liddo, to name a few.
Of course there were lesser known people that had a profound influence on Frixos for which he makes it a point to say that he is "eternally grateful". He adds, "My passion for composing was further affirmed thanks to Dr. Susan Epstein Garcia who showed me that there's no limit to musical expression." Dr. Ferdinando De Sena brought Frixos another dimension through his teachings of electronic music.
Frixos seeks to create variety in his compositions, by using worldly rhythms and sounds expressed through a multitude of instrumental expressions to create his own unique contemporary sound. "I look for connections between different music genres, from classical, rock, pop, funk, reggae, fusion, jazz etc. These connections are what I bring to my music" continues Frixos.
In October 2007 Frixos released his first CD titled "Cause Frixion" which was dedicated to fund-raising for The Epilepsy Foundation of Florida. This album included a tune he wrote earlier that year called "Freedom". Other works have been published more recently on the internet, namely cdbaby, iTunes etc. and are played on internet radio stations.
Frixos continues to perform gigs with different musicians and bands in venues around the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale area, including recording sessions for Fourth Dimension and others. He plays multiple instruments including alto, soprano and tenor sax, flute and keyboards. His performances comprise events at the renowned Van Dyke Café on Lincoln Road; Avenue D; Crescendo Jazz and Blues Lounge; Churchill's Pub, a bastion for local musicians; Tobacco Road, the oldest music bar in Miami; Blue Jean Blues in Ft. Lauderdale where Al Kanovsky for The South Florida Jazz Scene wrote on October 15 2012, "They continued, raucously on, with everybody, musicians and audience having fun. A young man walked in, sax case in hand. Joe (Donato) invited him up to jam. What can I say. His name is Frixos, (yes it's right) and this kid can blow."

Excellent teacher. Very patient and focused. Highly recommendable.
Frixos demonstrates an expert understanding of music theory. He adapts to different learning styles with ease no matter what your level may be. I highly recommend taking time out of your day to spend at least an hour with him if you have not had an opportunity to find answers to any of your musical questions. Frixos will leave you with a new found desire to discover music in a new way every lesson. Highly recommended.+ Read More
ryan my son (11) thinks Frixos is an awesome teacher.
Frixos did an excellent job with my son Ryan. It was Ryan's very first saxaphone lesson today, and he is excited and really enjoyed the lesson Frixos provided materials to study, was very patient, and Ryan made excellent progress for his very first lesson. We will be signing up our daughter with him later this week.+ Read More
Frixos is a great teacher. He is very patient and knowledgeable. He worked with my son for an audition and was able to correct the problems right away. My son's audition went really well.
He is a great instructor
He is very enthusiastic and a great instructor. My son love his classes.
Frixos is very nice and patience. I learned a lot in 3 lessons. Would be better if I can see more of his screen on when showing finger positioning. Defnitely reccomend him.
My son was extremely nervous about the first lesson, but Frixos allowed him to show what he already knows regarding the piano, which made him more comfortable. Frixos also picked up in the book right where my son left off with his last teacher. My son enjoyed it a lot. He's excited about the next lesson.+ Read More
My first lesson today was explained clearly and detailed.
My lessons are going very well! Great instructor!
Frixos is a great teacher. He makes sure you understand music theory before getting into to anything else which will make you a better player in the long run. Very patient and flexible.
The first review was incorrect sorry.. Mr. Frixos is by far a great teacher. He teaches my daughter the saxophone. He is very kind, patient and really enjoys what he teach you can see that passion and how dedicated he is in teaching. I give him a 5 star because he explains it not only to my daughter but to me as well so I can help her. We enjoy his lessons and he has a great price for the time he teaches I recommend Mr. Frixos because of his knowledge and dedication to this field. He is a fantastic teacher.
I am still a little stiff with the computer so sorry for the earlier post that was incorrect you are more than a 1 star Mr. Frixos.
Mr. Frixos is very patient, helpful and knowledgable on what he teaches. My daughter is excited to work with him. I give him a 5 because he keeps the parent informed about what lessons he is working on with my daughter and what he expects her to work on. He explains everything even to me so I can assist my daughter.
Thanks Mr. Frixos you are wonderful. Great personality!
Frixos is very friendly and helpful. It's clear that music is an important part of his life. He's very encouraging and helped me progress quickly.
Irina is having a wonderful Saxophone experience with Frixos and I am very happy with Irina's progress.
Frixos is a great instructor, extremely patient, and provides great feedback all the time. He mixes music theory, scales, and songs from movies. He plays very well and enjoys teaching. I was a bit reluctant to take online classes but Frixos makes it easy and fun! I am happy with all the things he is teaching me!!+ Read More
Matthew is very happy in the Saxophone class. The instructor is very nice and there is a great chemistry between my son and Mr. Frixos.
Frixos is a great instructor and a musician. It took me a while to find him. I think I've listen to every instuctor's video on this site before I made my choice. What made me chose him, as my teacher, was his passionate and creative style of playing. I believe a sax sound without emotion is a waste of this instrument. Unfortunately, very many musicians have a great technique but their music doesn't have an emotional/passionate story behind it. Well, Frixos had that and it helped me make my decision. As an instructor, he goes an extra mile to make sure I have all the support I need and beyond. He is thorough, responsible, and so much fun to work with!!! What he charges for the quality of service he provides is a "joke". So my recommendation to those who look for a teacher: take this great opportunity, let HIM teach you, and you won't regret!!! :)
P.S. I have no doubts that for as long as he is my instructor, I WILL learn how to play and be very good at it!
Frixos is a first class saxophone player and a spectacular teacher. He impresses me with his patience and enthusiasm. He has had so much training playing saxophone with some of the best professional players in South Florida! His skills will blow you out of the water and his teaching methods are phenomenal. Apart from that, he is a natural people person, and really cares about his students. He is really a one-of-a-kind person and teacher, and it goes without saying that I recommend him.+ Read More

So, JC Penney's ad has been taking a fair amount of flack. They've basically put teens in their apparel, and shot scenes that mimic the Breakfast Club. I hadn't seen this commercial till today, but had heard a short bit on the radio about it.
After seeing it, I don't get it on a number of levels. First off, who the hell is this commercial for? The Breakfast Club came out in 1985, and the commercials are aimed at back-to-school kids, and probably teens. How many teens are even familiar with this 23 year old movie? Relatedly, how many teens are going to buy into this marketing?
On the other hand, I don't get why so many older folks are ranting on the inter-tubes about how they feel their child hood is being robbed. This is definitely not as bad as all those DirectTV ads - this is at least a homage, with the scenes reshot with new actors/outfits/etc, as opposed to the digitally remastered crap that the DirectTV ads are. In my mind, this is just an example of imitation being the sincerest form of flattery . . .

Health Canada has ordered Canada's medical marijuana companies to stop making their products look so good, reports CBC Radio-Canada.
The warning letters, customized for 20 officially licensed producers of medical marijuana, set strict limits on how their products can be presented on websites and social media, even forbidding photos of buds or the inclusion of hyperlinks to other websites that promote the product.
Health Canada said it is placing no limit on the number of producers in Canada, but has been quietly cranking up its standards and requirements, making it tougher to comply with security and other measures.
Health Canada requires all licensed producers to maintain a website where approved patients can order strains for delivery, and quietly issued guidelines on June 30 about how the products could be advertised.But as various firms jockey for market share, virtually all the existing websites have crossed the line, some making broad claims for the efficacy of their strains and posting glitzy photos of their indoor farms.
Now, these companies can't even advertise about the taste of their products.
"The smoke is strong with an unmistakably flowery taste," says one website, a claim that will apparently have to be dropped by Jan. 12.
Critics have complained the process is not transparent and at least one court case has been launched.
"At the end of the day, everybody's offside in some capacity," said Marc Wayne, president and CEO of Bedrocan Canada, a Toronto-based producer and chair of the industry group the Canadian Medical Cannabis Industry Association. Wayne said his industry group plans to meet Thursday to discuss the warning letters, but members generally support the measures. "You don't want to be over-promoting a narcotic," he said.

Missoula Police Seeking Info on Man Suspected of Raping Two Teenagers
The above photograph is of a man known to authorities only as "Oscar," who is wanted as a rape suspect in an incident that occurred on Thursday, July 23.
The suspected rape occurred under the Reserve Street bridge with two teenage girls ages 13 and 14. Both juveniles were runaways who have since been returned to their guardians.
"This male is described as being anywhere from 25 to 30 years old," said Missoula Police Detective Sgt. Travis Welsh. "He is said to be skinny. He has tattoos over his right and left eyebrows. He has a nose ring. His lower lip is pierced. He has short brown hair and a short goatee. He typically carries a green backpack and has a puppy with him. He was last seen wearing black jeans and a jacket with spikes on the shoulders."
The available photo came from a convenience store security camera on the corner of Reserve Street and Mullan Road, not far from the crime scene.
Anyone with information about this case or the whereabouts of "Oscar" are asked to call either Crimestoppers at 721-4444, or Det. Mark Blood, or Sgt. Travis Welsh of the Missoula Police Department.

YouTube admits that LGBT videos are hidden in its "restricted mode", apologies for confusion
The Google-owned video company offers a "restricted mode" that aims to "screen out potentially objectionable content". But a number of prominent YouTubers noticed that LGBTQ videos appeared to be hidden as part of that rule – provoking huge protests. Now YouTube has admitted that such videos are being hidden, but says that it only does so to ensure that people don't see videos that deal with "more sensitive issues". "We are so proud to represent LGBTQ+ voices on our platform – they're a key part of what YouTube is all about," a Twitter post on the YouTube Creators account read. "The intention of Restricted Mode is to filter out mature content for the tiny subset of users who want a more limited experience. "LGBTQ+ videos are available in Restricted Mode, but videos that discuss more sensitive issues may not be. We regret any confusion this has caused and are looking into your concerns." A YouTube spokesperson later clarified that those more sensitive issues are particularly videos that cover subjects like "health, politics and sexuality". Many of the videos being hidden don't appear to deal with anything explicit or adult. Videos including those looking at LGBT models or make-up tutorials posted by trans users were hidden, according to their creators. YouTuber Rowan Ellis was among the first to point out that videos covering things like relationships or crushes were being filtered out of restricted mode, apparently without their creators' knowledge, in a video titled 'YouTube Is Anti-LGBT?'. YouTube advertises restricted mode as a way for children and families to avoid seeing "potentially objectionable content". It flags such videos using "community flagging, age-restrictions, and other signals to identify and filter out potentially inappropriate content", it writes on the page advertising it.

As reported on BlogHerald, it seems Blogger has been listening to some of the unhappiness about spam blogs. They have announced a new "Flag as Objectionable" button.
It seems like the main purpose of this is to try to hide offensive material from being accidentally found:
When a person visiting a blog clicks the "Flag?" button in the Blogger Navbar, it means they believe the content of the blog may be potentially offensive or illegal.
The spam blog part seems like its almost a afterthought:
For more serious cases, such as spam blogs or sites engaging in illegal activity, we will continue to enforce our existing policies (removing content and deleting accounts when necessary).
This is a small step in the right direction. I'm sure now that Spam Blogs are getting more attention more resources will be spent on defeating them and the community as a whole should be able to get a handle on them. Its good to see everybody getting in on the action to defeat these spammers.

Clean technology companies in North America, Europe, China and India raised $1.8 billion in the second quarter of 2011, according to a report from the Cleantech Group. But as impressive as that total sounds, cleantech venture investment actually fell 33 percent from the first quarter of 2011, when $2.75 billion was raised. The second-quarter figure is also 10 percent lower than the $2.03 billion raised in the same quarter in 2010. Two thirds of the investments completed in the latest quarter – accounting for 87 percent of the total amount invested – were Series B or later funding rounds.
Energy efficiency companies raised $428 million led by Bridgelux, an energy efficient LED lighting system developer; iControl Networks, a smart home software provider; and Hara, a cloud-based enterprise energy and resource management software provider. Biofuels and biomaterials companies raised $237 million across 12 deals. Interestingly, Quebec-based Enerkem took $60 million from Waste Management, oil refiner Valero Energy and others.
Solar companies closed 27 deals valued at $363 million. Suniva, a Georgia-based photovolatic cell manufacturer, raised $94.4 million. The U.K.-based developer of micro-inverters for solar PV systems, Enecsys, raised $41.3 million and China-based Royal Tech Solar received $35.7 million.
And not to be left in the cold, the transportation sector also prospered in the second quarter, with substantial investments in Fisker Automotive, electric bus manufacturer Proterra and California-based smart parking provider Streetline.
Initial public offerings (IPOs) were strong, the Cleantech Group report said. Six of the quarter's 11 IPOs came out of China, with the $800 million IPO for Huaneng Renewable Energy leading the pack. (Althoug,h notably, Huaneng's stock tumbled one day after the IPO.) The IPOs of Solazyme and KiOR were the most high-profile examples of IPOs in the biofuels sector. KiOR also raised capital before its IPO and that investment was included in the total amount raised for biofuel companies during the quarter.
Two major acquisitions were closed the quarter: French energy giant Total acquired a 60 percent stake in solar leader SunPower for $1.37 billion, and Toshiba paid $2.3 million to acquire meter company Landis+Gyr.

FBI foiled Castro 'holocaust'
Intrepid terrorists could get maximum bang for their buck on "Black Friday." A few well-placed bombs and the carnage would easily shame 9/11's.
Indeed, on Nov. 17, 1962, J. Edgar Hoover's FBI cracked a terrorist plot by Fidel Castro's Cuban agents that targeted not only Macy's in New York City but also Gimbels, Bloomindale's and Grand Central Station with a dozen incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT. The holocaust was set to go off the following week, the day after Thanksgiving.
A little perspective: The March 2004 Madrid subway blasts, all 10 of the explosions that killed and maimed almost 2,000 people, used a grand total of 100 kilos of TNT. Castro and Che's agents planned to set off five times that explosive power in the three biggest department stores on Earth — and on the year's biggest shopping day. Thousands of New Yorkers — probably mostly women and children given the date — were to be incinerated and entombed.
Castro and Che Guevara planned their murderous act just weeks after Nikita Khrushchev foiled their plans for an even bigger massacre during the Cuban Missile Crisis. "If the missiles had remained," Guevara confided to The London Daily Worker the following month, "we would have used them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York City."
Castro and Guevara's Manhattan bomb plot was far from irrational. They were no suicide bombers — not by a long shot. Some Cuba-watchers speculate that Castro wanted to blast Manhattan to heat things up again, to rekindle all those thrills he'd experienced the previous weeks during the missile crisis.
Given the temper of the times, he knew his Soviet sugar daddies would be implicated, too. The United States might retaliate. Then Castro might get what he'd dreamed about and tried to provoke a few weeks earlier: an intercontinental nuclear exchange.
Millions dead in the United States. Millions dead in the Soviet Union. And almost certainly, millions dead in his own Cuba. But Castro himself would be nowhere near harm's way. Alexander Alexeyev, the Soviet ambassador to Cuba during the missile crisis, reports a fascinating — if unsurprising — datum about those days. While Castro was begging, threatening, even trying to trick Khrushchev into launching a pre-emptive nuclear strike against the United States — ranting and yelling and waving his arms about grabbing his Czech machine gun and "fighting the Yankee invaders to the last man!" — a "fearful" (Alexeyev's term) Castro was also making reservations with Alexeyev for a first-class seat in the Soviet Embassy's bomb shelter. Thus he'd emerge into the smoldering rubble and millions of incinerated bodies and realize his lifelong dream: his name stamped in history as the gallant David against the Yankee Goliath.
Castro's agents for his Thanksgiving bomb plot were members of the Cuban mission to the United Nations working in concert with members of the Fair Play For Cuba Committee, an outfit that became much better known a year later when member Lee Harvey Oswald really racked up some headlines.
At the time of the Manhattan terror plot, the committee also included among its members, CBS correspondent Robert Taber, who conducted Castro's first network television soft-soaping on Aug. 30, 1957, along with The Nation magazine co-owner Alan Sagner. In 1996 President Clinton appointed Sagner head of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Despite his lust to destroy them, on visit after visit to New York, city's best and brightest welcomed Castro as the second coming of the Beatles at Shea Stadium. On his 1996 visit for instance, the despot who abolished private property, transplanted Stalin's penal and judicial system and stole 5,911 businesses worth (at the time) $2 billion from U.S. stockholders, he was delighted to find a lavish luncheon thrown in his honor by the Wall Street Journal.
Yet had those detonators gone off the day after Thanksgiving in 1962, 9/11 might be remembered as the second deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

hattip: Halle
Doug Hagmann, in an article in the Canada Free Press, has revealed what he believes is the real reason for the Benghazi cover up. His sources tell him that the reason Ambassador Stevens went to Benghazi with minimal security was to have a meeting with his Turkish counterpart because a covert operation to send arms to the Syrian rebels via Turkey and other countries had been compromised by the Russians.
The Russians are big supporters of Assad and there is speculation in the article that the attacks in Benghazi were conducted by Iranians at the behest of Russia. Russia would not want to be involved in military operations against US forces. As many as three teams of Iranians may have been involved here.
The political ramifications for the Obama administration are staggering. If Iran were involved here, the American people would demand retaliation and Obama has been very soft on Iran, especially during the "Green Revolution" in Iran, when Obama by default supported the mullahs.
While this article sheds some light onto what happened in Benghazi, it does not excuses the administration's failure to send troops to rescue our people. There are rumors that two generals were relieved of their commands, one specifically for having a strike force preparing to go into Benghazi. I will have more on this as soon as I can confirm some details.
Read the article and judge for yourself. Comments are very welcome here or on Facebook.

NY Lottery MEGA Millions
DES MOINES, Iowa — The two winning Mega Millions tickets were sold in California and Georgia, lottery officials said Wednesday.
The $636 million jackpot was the second-largest lottery prize in U.S. history.
One ticket was sold in San Jose, Calif., California Lottery spokesman Alex Traverso said. The other was sold in Georgia, but Mega Millions' lead director Paula Otto said early Wednesday morning that she didn't yet know in which city it had been sold.
Otto, who is also the Virginia Lottery's executive director, said $336 million in tickets were sold for Tuesday's drawing — they had projected $319 million.
"Sales were a little better than we'd anticipated, " Otto said. "It was a fun run, it was our first holiday run for either of the big jackpot games."Richard Drew/AP If someone wins Tuesday's Mega Millions drawing, it is estimated that —if they choose the cash option — they could still take home 1 million before taxes.
She said because of the higher sales, the jackpot may be more around 5 million. The final jackpot will be available by midday Wednesday, she said.
The jackpot started its ascent on Oct. 4. Twenty-two draws came and went without a winner, Otto said. She also said a billion worth of tickets were sold during the run, earning the places that offer Mega Millions — 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands — a total of $300 million.
The winning numbers were: 8, 14, 17, 20, 39; Mega Ball: 7. The jackpot resets to $15 million for the next drawing, which is on Friday night.
The San Jose ticket was sold at Jennifer's Gift Shop, Traverso said.LARRY W. SMITH/EPA A cashier sells a Mega Millions lottery ticket at a gas station in Dallas. The multi-state drawing is the second-largest jackpot in history.
"For us, the main thing we'd like to get across is the level of excitement we saw all across California, " he said. "At one point, we were selling about 25, 000 tickets per minute. It's been an amazing experience. It's unbelievable."
The winners can choose to be paid over time or in a cash lump sum, Otto said. Based on the $636 million figure, the winners would receive $318 million each over time or $170 million each in cash.
Mega Millions changed its rules in October to help increase the jackpots by lowering the odds of winning the top prize. That means the chances of winning the jackpot are now about 1 in 259 million. It used to be about 1 in 176 million, nearly the same odds of winning a Powerball jackpot.
But that hasn't stopped aspiring multimillionaires from playing the game.LARRY W. SMITH/EPA The Mega Millions jackpot for Tuesday's drawing is estimated to be $636 million.
"Oh, I think there's absolutely no way I am going to win this lottery, " said Tanya Joosten, 39, an educator at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who bought several tickets Tuesday. "But it's hard for such a small amount of money to not take the chance."

The charge transfer efficiency (CTE) of the ACS CCDs (WFC and HRC) is declining as damage from the space radiation environment accumulates. Here we provide information about our efforts to monitor CTE, and methods of mitigating and calibrating it.
The ACS/WFC CTE Correction Calculator corrects ACS/WFC aperture photometry for CTE losses using the most recent formula from Chiaberge's ISR 2012-05 and updated coefficients based on cycle 20 calibration data.This tool is only calibrated for photometry obtained after SM4 in May 2009. For pre-SM4 data, please see Chiaberge et al. 2009 (ISR 2009-01), or use pixel-based CTE-corrected files obtained from MAST. As of 2015, we offer the capability for using post-flash to alleviate the effects of CTE and for guidelines on the use of post-flashing see the following webpage: ACS WFC Post-Flash Capabilities
