H.E. Metropolitan Emmanuel
Vice President of the Conference of World Churches
Co-President, Religions for Peace
A true man of the world, Metropolitan Emmanuel of France was born in Crete, eventually relocating to France during his secondary education. He attended St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute after which he was ordained a priest in 1985. Following this, he attended the Holy Cross Institute of Theology in Boston, Massachusetts. He was made auxiliary vicar of Benelux and, later in 1995, auxiliary Bishop of the same region.
Beyond his ministry, Metropolitan Emmanuel's work sees him interacting with global leaders, religious and civic. He was appointed to the head of the Liaison office in the European Union, putting him in direct contact with the political leaders of Europe. Furthermore, he was entrusted in 2001 with responsibilities for the Ecumenical Patriarchate's International Interreligious Dialogue with Monotheistic Religions, furthering the opportunities which his skills in cross-cultural and cross-religious mediation provide for the Orthodox Church. His credits toward Interfaith action do not stop here, however. He also is responsible for Orthodox interactions with the Vatican, Eastern Asian Churches, Autocephalous Churches of Europe and central Asia, is the head of the Council of European Churches (CEC), and represents the general Orthodox Patriarchate to the European Union. These distinguished positions have earned him, among other distinctions, the name of "Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur.
As a Representative of the Orthodox Church with such a heavy involvement in world affairs, Metropolitan Emmanuel speaks often as to the need for cooperation among faiths in order to bring about necessary social change. Among other efforts, he has pioneered faith-based dialogue regarding climate-change and religiously based Green movements. Metropolitan Emmanuel's comfort on the world stage, the work he has wrought from such a position and his devotion to the improvement on the planet on which he lives more enriches Religions for Peace's World Council.

Keeping Bush in cali and paired with last yrs #1 pick would sell alot of tickets and makes the 9ers a team to talk about agin. my main point being lets please stay where we are and take bush #1 if thats the guy cass wants! i personaly dont care if we got bush or young cause i would love to see either in a texans uni! if we trade down to #4 i gaurentee this is what hapens which surely would be the last straw for cass who i thought was gonna be a great GM but the proofs in the pudding!

Question for the experts
1 Attachment(s)
In an earlier thread I had described my incident with my GP100 and the bullets that were lodged in the barrel. Remington paid the bill to have the gun fixed. I got the gun back, finally, this week. I sent the gun out in March. According to the paperwork they sent back with the gun, they replaced the barrel, repaired the cylinder, replaced the trigger spring guard spring, and replaced internal components. The paperwork also states the gun was safety function checked, proof tested and range fired tested. I thought there was supposed to be a fired shell casing sent back with the gun, but there was none. My question is the pic that I have attached show some kind of brown, gold color in the barrel all the way down. I cleaned the gun and brushed the barrel and found that some of this substance actually started to disappear. Does this look like a new barrel? Just curious. I don't think when I bought the gun new the barrel looked like this. As always I really appreciate everyone's help, opinions and advice.
That is copper fouling from the jacketed bullets that the factory used for test firing. It will come out with normal cleaning. Nothing to worry about, it is normal. Usually, new barrels will foul more and quicker than barrels that have been broke-in or well use due to the slightly rough surface after machining. Glad to hear you got your gun back. Enjoy......................
I don't claim to be a expert but I'd say that looks like normal fouling. Very seldom do the factories actually clean the firearms/barrels after test firing/range testing. Since it's a new barrel, it hasn't been broken in yet and may have microscopic burrs in the rifling, causing fouling. Just clean it good and watch to see that bullet holes appear in the target after every shot. After you shoot it a lot, it'll get smoother both in the barrel & action wise as it gets broke in.
MasterPsmith-we gotta quit doing that-you must type faster than me.
Sorry bout that, musta beat ya to the punch...
Thanks again for the quick, and valuable info. I used a cleaner that I always use, but it does not seem to clean that fouling out. Is there any brand that you all recommend to get that fouling out?
I prefer Birchwood Casey Bore Scrubber. Works Great With both copper and nitro fouling. Just be careful as it will "eat" a copper bore brush.
Find a bore cleaner that specifies copper removal.
I agree with the others, run some ammo through her and get it broke in! http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...ons/cowboy.gif
Shooter's Choice or Sweet's 762 will remove copper fouling. I always use the former. Break in a new hand gun with about 200 rounds of jacketed ammo before going to a lead bullet to reduce the amount of leading you experience. Shooter" Choice also disolves lead and plastic (shotgun wadding) fouling.
Some guys don't like them, but I use a bore-snake, usually 2 or 3 times through the barrell and once each through the cylinders does it. Then clean the rest of the pistol normally and I use Rem-Oil afterwards, then wipe clean. Some of the other guys like masterPsmith and stalkingbear to name 2 are much more savvy than me, so thier advice should carry more weight.

The Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota (BBB) is encouraging businesses and consumers to participate in the fourth annual Small Business Saturday on Nov. 30.
The event is a day designed to support and promote small businesses during the long and busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Small business Saturday falls between "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday." BBB reminds shoppers that staying local supports the small businesses that helped create the identity of a community. This yearly event is a great way to show support for these local "mom and pop" shops that make home feel like home, the bureau says.
BBB is working with American Express OPEN to assist in getting the word out about Small Business Saturday. Businesses benefit not only from increased customer awareness, but also from the many free marketing tools offered online by Small Business Saturday partners: United States Postal Service, Foursquare, Fed Ex Office and Twitter. Free signage, shipping, ads and more are available and can be accessed online at facebook.com/SmallBusinessSaturday.
Consumers also have the opportunity to take advantage of an American Express statement credit offer. American Express is offering card members the opportunity to get a $10 statement credit when they enroll their eligible American Express Card and then use it to spend $10 or more in a single in-store transaction at a qualifying small business location on Small Business Saturday. Registration is limited.
Shopping small is the theme of Small Business Saturday. The Better Business Bureau says small businesses are the heart of our communities and everyone is invited to join the 200 organizations that have already become partners in designating the Saturday after Thanksgiving as Small Business Saturday.

Keanan Bennetts being chased by England, Germany and Nigeria
Tottenham starlet Keanan Bennetts is the subject of a tug of war for his services on the international stage.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 27/05/14 5:23pm
The highly-rated teenager is being courted by Germany, England and Nigeria as they all look to secure his allegiance.
Bennetts is highly-regarded at Tottenham and his potential has alerted all three countries who want the 15-year-old to pledge his international allegiance to them.
The skilful forward has caught the eye for Tottenham during several youth tournaments and he helped Tottenham win the Riga Cup earlier this year, where he was named the tournament's MVP as well as being named in the team of the tournament.
Bennetts's form has also alerted a number of Premier League rivals and some German clubs, but Tottenham are lining up a scholarship deal to try and keep him at White Hart Lane
Bennetts qualifies for Germany through his mother and Nigeria through his father, while he was born and bred in England and the three countries are battling it out to convince him to play for their respective nations.
Bennetts is currently away training with Germany's Under 15s, but he has also received invites from England and Nigeria and the player's father, Richard Bennetts, has confirmed the youngster will not rush into a decision over his international future.
"Keanan got an invite from Germany first of all after one of their scouts saw him playing in a youth tournament for Tottenham," Bennetts Snr told Sky Sports.
"He is over there now with their Under 15s at a training camp and he has done well playing in two games against Holland after the final squad was cut down from a list of 130 players.
"We have also received invites from England and Nigeria to go train with them and we will do that in the future, but as Germany were first to make contact we thought it was right to give them first port of call.
"It is very flattering for Keanan to have three countries wanting him to play for them, but he will not rush any decision on his future.
"We will see what country offers him the best possibilities and wherever he feels most comfortable before deciding what country to play for."

Jornaleros rise early. At the crack of dawn on a cold Sunday morning, there are about 30 or so day laborers milling about at the Macehualli Work Center near 25th Street and Bell Road, drinking coffee and waiting for jobs. And while I wait with them, immigrants-rights activist Salvador Reza — the guy who runs the place — explains the origins of the camp's name.
"Macehualli means 'those who deserve honor for their work,'" the 56-year-old informs me. "It's Nahuatl, the language of the Aztecs. It's from a time and place when work was prestigious, and honored."
He looks around at those sitting at picnic tables under tarps, standing out in the still-pale sun, or checking on the gated blue shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, which sits at the heart of Macehualli.
illegal immigration
"These guys here, they maintain the lawns and the landscaping," he says, speaking not only of those present, but those who congregate in greater numbers during the week. "They built City Hall, and most of the developments in the area. Yet they are persecuted, berated. You've seen how we're treated at demonstrations."
Indeed, I have. Many times, I've been down to observe the clashes at M.D. Pruitt's Home Furnishings, near 35th Street and Thomas. Reza and his supporters have been boycotting Pruitt's, protesting store owner Roger Sensing's decision to have Sheriff Joe Arpaio's deputies on his property and in the area. Arpaio's officers have arrested scores of alleged illegals, some jornaleros, some who just happen to have been driving while brown.
But I'm not looking to rehash the persistent ugliness at Pruitt's. Like when Roger Sensing had manure spread on the sidewalk in front of his store, and asked Reza, sarcastically, if he could find workers to help Sensing plant flowers in the dung. Or the time a nativist referred to dancing Mexican-American children as "monkeys."
Rather, I'm interested in how Arizona's new employer-sanctions law will affect the men and women Reza serves, who donate a dollar toward the Macehualli camp's upkeep for each job they snag from employers who drive into Macehualli's parking lot seeking laborers.
Much has been written about how Arizona's business community is praying itself to sleep at night, hoping a federal judge issues a temporary restraining order and stops the legislation from inflicting a mortal blow to the state's still-enviable economy. The Wall Street Journal recently gave these nightmares front-page treatment, quoting University of Arizona immigration expert Judith Gans as stating, "Getting rid of [undocumented] workers means that we are deciding as a matter of policy to shrink the economy."
Ask Arizona Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Glenn Hamer, former executive director of the state Republican Party, and he'll tell you it's not a matter of whether the state's economy is about to sustain a self-inflicted wound, but whether the limb will be sliced off at the kneecap or higher.
"It's a question of degree, the effect this law will have on the state's prosperity," Hamer tells New Times. "Of the almost 100 years Arizona's been in existence, if you had to describe in one word the master state plan, it would be 'growth.' This new policy is a contractionary policy. The sponsors of the bill even say it will 'downsize' Arizona."
(Confronted with these assertions, supporters of the law point to savings in government services they allege illegal aliens are draining, and many of Hamer's fellow Republicans in the Legislature are salivating at the prospect of cutting government programs as the state's budget woes increase.)
With such dire, Cassandra-like predictions, it's no surprise that an impressive coalition of business associations is challenging this two-strikes-and-you're-out hiring statute, set to go into effect January 1. These include, in addition to the state Chamber of Commerce, the Arizona Contractors Association, the AZ Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the Arizona Landscape Contractors Association. Currently, these groups are in federal district court, suing to stop the law before it's implemented.
Otherwise, HB2779, the Legal Arizona Workers Act, signed into law by Governor Janet Napolitano in July, will force them to utilize the federal government's E-verify system, to check the work authorization of new hires. If an employer is found to have knowingly or intentionally employed an illegal alien, the first "strike" earns the employer a 10-day suspension of his business license. The second violation during a three- to five-year probationary period garners a "business death penalty," as some have called it — permanent revocation of all licenses necessary to operate a business in Arizona legally.
The catch is the word "legally." Reza believes an underground, prohibition-like economy will flourish afterward, with more and more workers getting paid cash under the table, assuming they remain in Arizona.
"People like Russell Pearce [sponsor of the sanctions statute in the Legislature], they're taking work to the level of criminality, which is affecting both the employers and the consumers," he observes. "It's really sad. You criminalize a whole section of people that's making the economy move."
The biggest losers, Reza insists, will be county, city, and state tax coffers. An unscrupulous or desperate employer will show records for, say, five employees but will actually have 15 — meaning 10 people won't have any taxes withheld. Corporations will avoid setting up shop in Arizona to avoid the hassle and expense of setting up a business, only to lose it under HB2779's "death penalty." Some here, if they can afford to, will move and take the best workers with them.
You don't have to be Alan Greenspan to realize the impact of such economic bleeding on the budgets of local governments, which are already dealing with shortfalls due to a sluggish housing market.
Mostly from fear, Reza says employers are laying off Hispanic workers, but he believes they will eventually be rehired out of necessity, and likely under the table. The workers who utilize Macehualli are already part of the cash economy. Reza asserts they do not fall under the purview of the new legislation.
"Federal law says you don't have to ask for papers when you ask somebody to cut your lawn," says Reza. "If you hire someone for 72 hours, then you have to fulfill IRS requirements. If you have an independent contractor and pay him more than $600, you have to report that to the IRS."
Jornaleros, you see, might work from a few hours to a day or two at a time, getting paid anywhere from $8 to $12 an hour. Still, many of the ones I spoke to at Macehualli say they will move out of state and know people who've already done so.
One big, jovial guy, whom I'll call Vinnie to protect his identity, tells me he will move to New Mexico next year because "it's going to get harder to get work for all the people." Vinnie came to America on a six-month tourist visa and has been here two years. He says he'll do "any kind of work, man." The facts that his skin is pale, he has reddish hair, and he speaks fair English don't hurt him in this regard.
"Tell him who you worked next to at the gun show," laughs Reza.
"The Minutemen!" Vinnie says, describing how he was helping man a booth next to the vigilante group's. "They thought I was an American guy because of my color."
Sounds like they tried to recruit him. Vinnie says they even gave him a Minuteman hat. Too bad they didn't inquire as to Vinnie's thoughts on Sheriff Joe and his deputies.
"Can I use bad words?" he asks.
A sweet lady with large brown eyes, Dolores relates in broken English that she has been living illegally in the United States for six years, and that she does mostly housecleaning and babysitting. She has three children of her own. The oldest is a star lineman on a local high-school football team. Next year, he'll be a senior.
Is she afraid for her children, for her son especially? Her eyes widen and she tells me yes. She doesn't have to say why. Soon her son will be driving. And if he's pulled over for a minor infraction and found to possess a fake ID, the resulting Class 4 felony could have him in Sheriff Joe's jails. There, he would be under pressure from ICE agents to sign voluntary paperwork for what essentially is deportation back to Mexico, away from his family and his home.
Already such cases are commonplace. I'm reminded of that kids' flick Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang, where all the children of the kingdom of Vulgaria are imprisoned or hidden away in sewers, to keep them from the clutches of a black-clad Child-Catcher. There's more than a touch of evil about our own Vulgarian state, where teenagers are hauled in for removal by Sheriff Joe.
Dolores' husband is a welder. The contracting firm for which he works moved to Utah in September, in part because of the advancing January 1 deadline. He spends three weeks there, and comes home for one week with his family. Will she move her family to Utah to be with him?
"Maybe, or maybe to some other state," she says, meekly. "Arizona is no good for us."
I converse with a guy I'll call Joe, who says he intends to stay and insists he's afraid of nothing. Many of his friends, however, are returning to Mexico.
While I'm chatting with him, an Anglo in a sleek, new-ish truck pulls up and both Joe and Dolores grab their tools and get ready to hop in.
"They're good workers," he admits. "I've gotten to know [Joe] and he's just trying to make a living. On the other hand, I know he's not paying taxes. So I'm kinda on both sides, right there. I don't agree with these big businesses hiring these people, making millions off them. But for me, when I need somebody to help me with help around my house, it's great."
He says there should be some way for Joe and Dolores to stay in the country legally if they can pass a criminal background check. That makes him a relative moderate in Arizona.
Reza overheard the conversation and related a similar case of Caucasian self-contradiction that occurred when he was testifying before the Legislature in 2005. He was arguing against a statewide prohibition on any funding of day-laborer sites by municipalities. Reza told me how a neighborhood activist nearly assaulted him when he informed legislators that he had once helped procure day laborers for the man.
"I told [the legislators] there are a lot of hypocrites in here," he recalls, referring to those testifying for the prohibition. "This guy [who got ticked off] had asked me to find workers for him to pick up oranges in the Arcadia area, because the rats were eating the oranges. The people in the community were too old to pick up the fruit. He said he never did that, but I had brought him two or three workers myself."
The anecdote points out one of the ironies of the immigration debate. Often those who seem most opposed to the influx of illegal aliens are those most in need of their labor — the elderly. The ranks of the counterprotesters at the Pruitt's donnybrook are beefed up with older people who long for the '50s. A time and place when all you saw were white people, or so it seems to them, because the society was then so highly segregated.
Irony aside, it's unlikely local alter kockers will be straining their backs to pick their own fruit. As Reza points out, the law will not apply to people picking up jornaleros for a little part-time landscaping. It will be larger employers who want to follow the law who feel the squeeze, as will we all.
Though Arizona is home to an estimated 500,000 illegals, and while the workers from this pool make up anywhere from 9 to 12 percent of the state's work force, Arizona has an incredibly tight labor market, with an unemployment rate of 3.5 percent. (Five percent is generally deemed to be "full employment" by economists.) Such a labor shortage, further exacerbated by the new employer-sanctions law, will be felt in higher prices for essential goods and services, as above-board employers pass on increased labor costs to consumers.
More alarming, however, than paying more for your hamburger is the prospect that the new law will be enforced here by County Attorney Andrew Thomas and Sheriff Arpaio.
From what we've seen in the past, expect INS-style raids staged for TV cameras, with Joe wagging his finger at supposed lawbreakers. Thomas has recently stated that he believes the law can be enforced retroactively, which should be cold comfort to employers racing to comply with it by January 1. Even if you do everything by the book in 2008, Thomas and Arpaio could still come get you, perhaps based on an anonymous tip from one of your competitors.
"To begin with, they don't have the personnel to enforce this law," alleges Reza. "So what that tells me is Arpaio's going to go after certain businesses to make a political statement. The Sheriff's Office is going to be very selective. Like it is with newspapers."
Selective. You know, as in Arpaio's Selective Enforcement Unit, whose officers arrested New Times co-founders Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin. Indeed, Arpaio's passion for retaliation was most recently documented by my colleague Sarah Fenske in the first installment of the "Target Practice" series ("Enemies List," November 29).
The new law will give Arpaio another way to coerce and control the county's rich and powerful, who might own some of the enterprises he and Thomas go gunning for. Like, say, Carl's Jr. franchise king Jason LeVecke, who's been outspoken in opposing the law. A slip-up in hiring at any one of his 57 locations could put him out of business.
"It's not just about whether someone's legal or not," LeVecke tells me. "It's about whether my whole business goes under and 1,200 people lose their jobs."

Incredibly, nativists are willing to shrink the economy, force illegals to "self-deport," and make businesses kowtow to reactionary demands, perhaps even kiss Arpaio's ring for good measure. The question is, how bad will the situation have to get before politicians stop listening to this small, vicious band of extremists driving the debate?
"I'm not sure how much pain it will take before the law is changed," shrugs the Arizona Chamber of Commerce's Hamer.
In Reza's view, the law's failure is inevitable, and not just because some judge may put the brakes on it through a temporary restraining order.
"You're messing with the natural flow of commerce," he observes. "And you're creating artificial barriers. Commerce and the market are like a human energy. You can't stop it. A lot of companies will refuse to comply with this law. [Of the companies that don't comply] those that survive will survive underground."

D-Sisive – Odette (Prod. Muneshine) [Audio]
Toronto, ON – Toronto rapper D-Sisive aka Derek Christoff drops off his latest offering featuring production by Muneshine. "Odette" will be featured on his D's next project, Desolate|The Mixtape, set to drop on March 29.
The song premiered on Noisey earlier today and was summarized by Osman Ahmed:
"Odette features D-Sisive flexing his great songwriting skills, using a multi-syllabic rhyme scheme paired with gritty imagery of metropolitan life to perfectly capture the overwhelming feeling of surviving the chaotic times in Toronto. The relentless melancholic siren (an essential part of Toronto's downtown soundscape) and rattling bass from Muneshine's production is the icing on the cake."

Intel Core i7 960 Appears Page: 1
Intel Core i7 960 - Socket 1366
Intel launched it's latest Core i7 CPU today, turning it's attention back to Socket 1366 and the X58 motherboards. The Core i7 960 comes clocked at 3.20GHz (24x multiplier), a slot which had previously been unoccupied since the 965 Extreme Edition was discontinued earlier in the year. The 960 has a maximum Turbo Boost speed of 3.43GHz and features the same four cores with HyperThreading technology, for eight logical cores.
Like it's siblings it is built on the 45nm process and has the same 130w TDP. It still carries the same QuickPath Interconnect with a speed of 4.8 GT/s, with each core having it's own dedicated 256 KB of L2 cache, and 8 MB of L3 cache shared between the four cores.
The 960 is set to replace the 950, being priced at just a few pounds more than the current £420, if at all. The launch of this model was kept very quiet however, are Intel preparing something bigger?

Don't get too worked up about the fact that the suspended New Orleans Saints players' appeal to the NFL's system arbitrator Stephen Burbank was rejected Monday. This was just one of many appeals the players have made. And while they're all "long shots" to some degree, this one might have been the longest long shot.
This particular appeal by the NFL Players Association contended that Burbank should rule on player punishments instead of Commissioner Roger Goodell because the punishments were for salary-cap violations that occurred as part of the Saints' illegal pay-for-performance program. But Burbank ruled, as expected, that Goodell's punishments were for overall conduct detrimental to the league that occurred as part of an alleged "bounty" program - not just for salary-cap violations.
The NFLPA has appealed Burbank's ruling, but that likely won't work either. Meanwhile, the players have at least three other appeals still pending, in addition to linebacker Jonathan Vilma's lawsuit against Goodell and any other future lawsuits that may still arise.
Still pending is the players' direct appeal to Goodell, which is a long shot as well since he's the one who doled out the suspensions in the first place. However, Goodell did suggest that he would be willing to reconsider his punishments against Vilma, Anthony Hargrove, Will Smith and Scott Fujita when he was asked at last month's league meetings if he has ever second-guessed himself during the bounty investigation.
"Sure, you second-guess yourself. That's what an appeals process is for," Goodell said. "You want to hear what the players have to say. Some of them indicated that they wanted to come in and talk before a decision was made. I invited them in. They decided not to do that, at the NFLPA's recommendation, I think. So when we get to the appeals we'll get to talk about that and hear from one another."
The best-case scenario for the Saints players is that Goodell would decide on his own to ease back on his penalties if he came to the conclusion that the players were not truly targeting opponents with an intent to injure. But that seems unlikely since Goodell didn't reach that conclusion before he handed out the penalties in the first place.
The NFLPA also made two appeals to arbitrator Shyam Das. One of them contends that Goodell can't impose discipline on the Saints for actions that occurred before the new collective bargaining agreement was signed last summer. The other contends that the appeals should be heard instead by Ted Cottrell or Art Shell, who were jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA to review on-field misconduct.
Those appeals are probably long shots, as well. I can't believe that players could be completely exonerated for any actions that occurred before 2010, but I'm curious to see how that part is handled. As for the second part, I think it's clear that the NFL is punishing the Saints for alleged off-field misconduct more than on-field misconduct, since no players were actually punished for hits that took place on the field.
If none of these appeals work out for the Saints players, I would expect them to turn to the federal court system next. And if so, it's possible that players could remain eligible in 2012 if a judge puts a stay on the suspensions until such lawsuits are decided.
In other words, this fight is far from over.
In the end, however, I still think the suspensions will ultimately be upheld. Although I believe Goodell went overboard in handing out such severe punishments, and I think the term "bounty program" is exaggerated, I do believe the Saints crossed a line into the vague area of "conduct detrimental to the league." And Goodell does have the power to hand out whatever punishments he sees fit "for the good of the game" - a power the players agreed to give him in the last CBA.

Ancient Village Discovered at Arizona Construction Site
Tuesday, March 25, 2014
MARANA, ARIZONA—A construction project at the edge of the Santa Cruz River floodplain in southern Arizona has unearthed traces of an ancient village, including an irrigation canal, 37 pit houses, and six burials that could be 4,000 years old. The construction of an outlet center will be delayed while the site is investigated, as required by law. Peter Steere, historic preservation officer for the Tohono O'odham Tribe, told The Arizona Daily Star that he thinks the excavation will uncover additional features and require monitors from the tribe. "We think it likely that significantly more than 18 burials will be identified," added Mary Ellen Walsh of the State Historic Preservation Office.

Virginia Tech's Center for Digital Discourse and Culture (CDDC) is collecting materials to launch the "April 16 Archive." This new online archive is meant to assist artists, humanists, social scientists, and other scholars who seek--today and in the future--to develop a better understanding of the violent events of April 16, 2007 at Virginia Tech. In addition, this archive is working in concert with Virginia Tech's University Libraries Archive, which is documenting and preserving displays, both to honor individual members of the university community and to provide an historical archive for future researchers.
"This archive will be available to the general public in the Commonwealth of Virginia, the United States, and the world community at large as they come to terms with what was a local, national, and global event, which will have many important ramifications for years to come," said Tim Luke, University Distinguished Professor of Political Science.
The site will work actively to deploy electronic media for the collection, interpretation, preservation, and display of stories about the tragedy of April 16, 2007 and its many after-effects in text, image, and sound formats. Developed in cooperation with George Mason University's Center for History and New Media (CHNM), the project is receiving technical, curatorial, and administrative support from Virginia Tech students, faculty, and staff.
The archive will preserve a diverse record of the events surrounding April 16, 2007 by collecting many accounts compiled from first-hand observations, photographic images, sound recordings, media reports, personal writings, official statements, individual blog postings, and any other documents that can be stored as digital files.
"In addition to local reactions, we welcome responses from across the globe in any language," said Brent Jesiek, manager of the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture. "Our goal is to leave a positive legacy for the larger community and contribute to a collective process of healing, especially as those affected by this tragedy tell their stories in their own words."
This project is part of a larger trend, where "digital memory banks" are being used to preserve the past, thereby ensuring that the collected records can be both readily accessible and carefully preserved for many generations to come.
The April 16 Archive welcomes contributions from the Virginia Tech community, as well as from anyone who wants to share words of support or reflection following the events of April 16, 2007. The attack happened in Blacksburg, Virginia, but it was experienced via mass media around the world. Accounts of that day from any site across the globe are, therefore, very important to the April 16 Archive as it documents the full impact of this tragic event. For more information,contact email@example.com. For media inquiries, contact Brent Jesiek, Manager of the CDDC, at (540) 231-7614.
Established in 1998, Virginia Tech's Center for Digital Discourse and Culture is one of the world's first university based digital points-of-publication for new forms of scholarly communication, academic research, and cultural analysis. Virginia Tech's College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences (CLAHS) as well as the Institute of Distance and Distributed Learning (IDDL) actively support the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture. The CDDC is also working with Virginia Tech's newly established Institute for Society, Culture, and the Environment (ISCE) to develop new scholarly initiatives, such as the April 16 Archive, tied into the practices of rhetoric, representation and the public humanities.

Up for discussion this month is Google's annoncement that it is pulling out of China. Is this merely sabre-rattling, or will the internet giant really triumph in its battle with Beijing?
Plus, as the American TV networks play "personality poker" with the likes of Jay Jeno, Simon Cowell and, er, Sarah Palin, the panel ask: are tent-pole celebrities (on their enormous salaries) an anachronism in the age of Hulu?

Elen Rivas thinks a lot of Peter Andre
Elen Rivas doesn't find it hard to list Peter Andre's good points.
'He is just such a nice person and the way he talks is nice,' gushes Elen, 36.
'He is very tender, passionate and really sweet.

Epping's wells tapped out, future sources neededBy Jason Schreiber
Union Leader Correspondent
May 09. 2012 11:21PM
EPPING - The town needs to find more sources of municipal water to meet increasing demands from new commercial projects, officials agreed at a joint board meeting this week.
'The town is at a crossroads with its water,' Henry DeBoer, chairman of the water and sewer commission, said at a meeting Monday with other commissioners, selectmen, planning board and budget committee members, and state environmental officials.
The joint meeting was called after voters last year rejected a $2.3 million proposal to buy 60 acres of land with four wells installed behind the Epping Crossing shopping center. Officials have said the wells combined would supply nearly 1,000 gallons a minute.
Commercial development has exploded ever since a Walmart Supercenter opened in Epping Crossing in 2004, but the search for more water began long before the retail giant arrived because the town wanted to attract quality commercial development by offering municipal water and sewer.
DeBoer said the town has 180,000 gallons available per day. In 2011, the town's average usage was about 135,000 gallons a day, with 45,000 gallons left. Of the remaining gallons, DeBoer said 42,000 have been allocated for future use by commercial projects that aren't completed yet, which includes the new Brickyard Square shopping center where a movie theater and other stores are under construction.
'Basically what that means is as developers come to us now, we really have no more water to give, which is obviously going to affect planning down the road,' DeBoer said.
To avoid a water shortage that could halt future development, water and sewer commissioners and other town officials insisted on Monday that the town should continue pursuing the water-rich land owned by developer Susan Conway behind Epping Crossing.
Since voters rejected Conway's offer to purchase the land in 2010 and again in 2011, the town may consider a lease/purchase option proposed for the property.
However, officials agreed that a comprehensive study would need to be done first to test the quality of the water after concerns were raised in the past about contamination from a chemical known as Toluene.
Stephen Roy, a hydrogeologist with the state Department of Environmental Services, said there was nothing 'incredibly negative about the site,' but expressed concern about the possible Toleune issue. He said the site also has a 'higher than the drinking-water standard' for arsenic.
Geosphere Environmental Management Inc. submitted a proposal to perform a $58,000 study of the water quality and other potential impacts related to groundwater withdrawal from the site, but Selectman Karen Falcone insisted that the work should be put out to bid before water and sewer commissioners accept the proposal.
The terms of a lease agreement haven't been negotiated, but DeBoer said a proposal offered by Conway would give the town 120 days to study the water. If any contamination is found or other concerns arise that could be pose problems getting state permits, or if the town decides the project is too expensive, DeBoer said the town can back out of the lease agreement.
DeBoer said the town could choose to do nothing and allow developers to drill their own wells to meet their water needs, but added, 'I don't think that's the type of development that this town really wants to see.'
'What we're looking at is a solution that will be a permanent solution long after we're gone so the town will have a water source that's viable, adequate and meets their needs so that we're not continually in the mode that we seem to have been in. Every five or six years, we need to go look for another well or another site or something like that,' said Joe Foley, a water and sewer commissioner.

So much for Rosie O'Donnell's glamorous residency in the Windy City.
The comedienne/actor/talk show host/activist has decided to relocate "The Rosie Show," her Oprah Winfrey's network program, to her hometown of New York.
That means goodbye to Chicago and the well-appointed townhouse she bought there last year. Rumors started last week when the townhouse went up for sale that it might mean the end of O'Donnell's show. But it appears to be just a change of venue.
O'Donnell's 12-room mansion in the Lake View neighborhood of Chicago is back on the market for $2.5 million, which may or may not include all the furnishings that O'Donnell acquired with property when she bought in September 2011 for that price.
Built in 2007, the brick 5-bedroom, 6-bath house has 6,000 square feet of living space on three levels, which would have been plenty of space for O'Donnell and her four children. However, much has changed for the native Long Islander since signing up for a stint on OWN, making it necessary for her to cast off the urban palace that has 11-foot ceilings, custom cabinetry and molding, and a top-of-the-line security system. Additional features include a home theater, rooftop deck and heated three-car garage.
Reports have it that O'Donnell believes it was a mistake to relocate her show to Oprah's studio.
Other things have changed in O'Donnell's life, too. O'Donnell has since become engaged, meaning that in addition to "The Rosie Show," she has a new partner, Michelle Rounds.

"Michigan has a tremendous football storied tradition," Dantonio said Tuesday. "I didn't see much different when we played the University of Alabama a couple of years ago (in a 49-7 Capital One Bowl loss).
"Our guys need to keep their mouths shut. Is that blunt enough? I'm sure that will make headline news. Especially those that aren't even playing."
Among the players to ridicule Robinson during Michigan's 41-14 loss were starting linebacker Denicos Allen, kick returner and running back Nick Hill, and freshmen Kyle Artinian and Jamal Lyles, who have yet to play.
Michigan State has won the past four rivalry games, and it was once Dantonio who said of Michigan, "Pride comes before the fall."
"I'm not going to say that there's not free speech in our program, but I think I'll say what I've said all along," Dantonio said. "You can't be prideful. You need to approach this game with humility. And when it becomes personal, that crosses the line."
Many of the posts have since been deleted. Allen, who deleted his tweet questioning Robinson as a quarterback and jokingly declaring Michigan State walk-on Tommy Vento as the better player, later apologized on Twitter.
"Lol well apparently I hurt a lot of feelings sorry guys lol I guess we have to wait till October 20th to play some real football #GoGreen," Allen tweeted.
The Twitter posts drew a reaction from Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Larry Foote, a former Michigan player who tweeted, "JAMAL LYLES, kyle artian, and back up RB shut yall mouth and GET ON THE FIELD REDSHIRTERS."
They also became a national discussion point on ESPN First Take earlier in the morning, with analyst Stephen A. Smith going as far as to call for the players involved to be suspended.
"You personally attacked this dude. Why?" Smith said. "You've beaten them the last four times. Your program is one of only seven BCS programs to have won at least 11 games over the last two seasons. So you're feeling yourself. You're celebrating yourself. But how many bowl appearances have you been to over the last several years? I mean, if you think about it, it's just recent memory where big-time program, you're elevated to that point. There's been plenty of years that Michigan has been the big fish. You haven't been.
"As bad as it would have been to talk about the Michigan program, there's something that's a little level of extra cruelty that kicks in when you go after Denard Robinson the way you had these guys saying a walk-on would be better than this Heisman Trophy candidate. You are trying to disrespect him. You know he's got all types of aspirations. I just think there's a level of cruelty that they exercised on behalf of the university -- not just themselves -- and that's why you have to deal with them accordingly in that fashion."
Said analyst Skip Bayless: "In this case, this is an embarrassment for that program to have that many players attack a quarterback who just does not deserve that of an archrival in-state. You just can't have it. The joke's on the head coach because he apparently didn't have a strong enough anti-Twitter program to start with."

- El NiNO's first magical Burn (2011)
El NiNO was born and raised in Puerto Rico. He joined an exchange program during his sophomore year and transferred to IPFW in IN where he finished his B.A. in Graphic Design, with a minor in Performing Arts. After graduation he then moved to LA. In the last 10 years, he's been working as a Production Designer and Art Director for events, stage, film and TV. Including NBC's reality show American Dream Builders, installing Pae White's "Woven Walk" at LAX International Airport. Manufacturing "Cactus" by Christian Moeller for the San Antonio Convention Center, TX. And most recently "Wild Art" at the LA Zoo for the non-profit organization RuckusRoots. He since had an awakening to switch his path and pursue his talents as an artist again. It started with painting a nursery mural as a gift to friends. After that, he created several other murals. El NiNO found himself feeling a different satisfaction for big canvases and enjoys the freedom to imagine on a bigger scale. In 2015, he designed and brought "Got Framed" to Black Rock City receiving Ty Eckley's award for one of the best and brightest art pieces at the event and lots of wonderful press.

Bleeding after a hysterectomy
2006 I had a hysterectomy and since that time I have experienced a small amount of bleed with a certain positions (in the man behind and the woman on hands and knees). I have had no bleeding in any other position, only this one. When I had the hysterectomy I was told my cervix is badly tilted. Is this normal to bleed after a hysterectomy?
You shouldn't be experiencing any bleeding after a total hysterectomy. You may have some tissue that hasn't completely healed at the top of the vagina that is continuing to bleed with contact. This can easily be treated. You should be evaluated for any other lesions that could be causing bleeding. There is additional information at this previously answered question:

Playoff Prospectus
Athletics-Tigers Division Series Preview
It's difficult to say which is more surprising: that Oakland made the playoffs at all, or that Detroit did so only because Robin Ventura dragged a rotting White Sox carcass across the finish line with just four wins over their final 15 games. Despite being predicted by all but one BP writer to finish the season atop the AL Central, Detroit enters the playoffs with the worst record of the bunch—a full five wins below both AL wild cards. Oakland, on the other hand, was predicted to finish in the basement of the AL West, below even the Mariners. After winning their final six games, however, they secured the number-two seed in the playoffs. We're sure to see this matchup billed as youth versus experience, with Oakland's young rotation and breakout hitters pitted against the veteran wiles of Miggy, Fielder, and Verlander.
Lineups (AVG/OBP/SLG/TAv)
The star power clearly resides in the middle of the Detroit order, but Oakland has kept up with the Tigers all year overall, accumulating a .266 TAv to Detroit's .268. Yoenis Cespedes has proven to be a shrewd offseason signing, showcasing better plate discipline than most expected while bringing exactly the power and speed we knew he'd display. The biggest story, however, may be Josh Reddick—who emerged as a veritable middle-of-the-order threat with 31 home runs—or Brandon Moss, who blasted 21 homers in just under 300 PA and will start every game against the all-righty Detroit staff. Late-season additions Drew and Donaldson help round out what figures to be a formidable Oakland offense.
Detroit's offense hasn't been as quite as explosive as many expected (sixth in TAv, 11th in runs scored), but that can't be blamed on Prince Fielder, who has formed one of the league's most imposing three-four duos with Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera. Unheralded in this offense have been Andy Dirks and Quintin Berry, neither of whom began as starters (or even in Detroit, in the case of Berry). They provide solid production in flanking Austin Jackson (who's in the midst of a career year himself) in the outfield, and mid-season acquisition Omar Infante has filled the team's gaping hole at second base and rounded out the order nicely.
Benches (AVG/OBP/SLG/TAv)
Carter and Norris start versus lefties for Oakland, but with no lefties on tap this series, they'll ride the pine and come in to pinch-hit in the appropriate matchups. *UPDATE* Norris, surprisingly, is starting Game One. Gomes is a formidable threat at the plate himself and should see some at-bats this series.
Despite struggling this season—Leyland recently called his poor performance "puzzling"—Boesch is the team's best bat off the bench, offers some power upside, and could earn a start in the series. *UPDATE* Boesch, surprisingly, been left off the roster. Leyland called the decision "a tough one, but I think it makes sense because we went for some versatility and pinch-runnability and things of that nature." Santiago is a capable defender at second, third, and short and could be used as a late-inning defensive replacement. Kelly has played everywhere but shortstop and catcher this season and offers the team defensive versatility off the bench. Garcia has a bit of speed and could be used to pinch-run.
Starting Pitchers (IP, ERA, FIP)
As exciting as Oakland's young rotation is, it's not as good as Detroit's. The Tigers hold the trump card in the rotation battle, trotting out last year's MVP and this year's (likely) Cy Young award winner Justin Verlander for the first game and (potentially) the deciding fifth game. Doug Fister proved last year was no fluke, continuing to generate groundballs while maintaining an elite 5.5 percent walk rate. Though Anibal Sanchez struggled when he came over from Miami in July, he's adjusted well to the American League, posting a 2.27 ERA and 7.6 K/BB over his final seven starts. Not many teams can offer a pitcher of Scherzer's quality as their number four. Jason Collette recently discussed Scherzer's historic season, and he seems on the cusp of becoming a true ace.
Bullpen (IP, ERA, FIP)
The A's boast the best bullpen ERA of any AL playoff team, and it's easy to see why: Balfour, Cook, and Doolittle have been phenomenal. Plus, they're workhorses: Balfour and Cook pitched the final five games of the season, and Doolittle the final four. If Oakland's starters can go six innings with a lead, Detroit will have a hard time battling back. After a successful season spent mostly as a starter, Travis Blackley will serve as a longman in case any of the starters get in trouble.
Detroit simply cannot match Oakland in a game that comes down to their bullpens. The Tigers have the worst bullpen ERA of any AL playoff team, though there are certainly some bright spots. Alburquerque is a terrific reliever but only just returned from the DL and hasn't had a chance to factor much into the team ERA. Octavio Dotel and Joaquin Benoit are quality high-leverage options, and as heart attack-inducing as Papa Grande can be, he's still a solid stopper.
Defense is not the Tigers' strong suit; they were the league's fourth-worst team in defensive efficiency, both raw and park-adjusted. That said, Miguel Cabrera has not been nearly as bad as expected at third base, and the mid-season addition of Infante isn't fully factored into those numbers. Still, don't expect Detroit's pitchers to get much help.
Leyland too is known first and foremost as a leader, but BP2012 says that he rests "comfortably in the upper tier of major league managers," noting his willingness to adapt his tactics to match the personnel he's given. Some of his lineup decisions in last year's playoffs were head-scratching (batting Don Kelly second?), but the order he's been running with lately is solid enough. As long as he doesn't try to get too clever, Detroit will be in good shape.

Don't know if anyone has done this yet:
Use starting holds of Wellspring, traverse right to crack of Spring Thing, finish on Spring Thing. V2?

|That would work...fun variation. We haven't gone that direction we've done the opposite starting way around the corner and finishing on Wellspring.

If mine was the FA, I'd like to name it Unwound, V2(?).
Also forgot to mention I did another variation. Start on the ledge at the arete of Spring Roll, make a big move left to the crack of Spring Thing. Sprung, V1(?)

|There are some pretty fun dynos on this boulder. Starting on the lowest holds of Spring Thing (left hand on the side pull, right hand on the lower of the two v-shaped mini jugs) and using good feet you can just go right up for the top! I'd say it's something like v1. There's another dyno I was trying directly to the left of this, starting on the holds for Centerpiece (I think?). The hands in the seam are good but there aren't any really good feet and it's a farther distance to go. Didn't manage to stick this one, seems like it'd fall in the v4 range.

Anthony Head, known by many as Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, will voice Ponsonby, the head of MI5. The character is introduced to the game in order to help the lead aliens (Crypto and POX) fight against the KGB. As the game progresses it is revealed that Ponsonby is not who he appears to be.
"When we were presented with the character Ponsonby, we needed a voice that created an extra dimension and enhanced his upper-class Englishness but hinted at a touch of deceit. Anthony Head has a wealth of acting experience and was the obvious choice. He brought Ponsonby alive in a very unique way," commented Richard Williams, director of marketing, THQ (UK).
Destroy All Humans! 2 is the sequel to the 2005 hit, and boasts five new locations set in the 1960s. The game's set for release on PlayStation 2 and Xbox in October. Check out Pro-G's exclusive interview with Pandemic for more info.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia -
China is expressing anger at Japan's prime minister on his visit to Africa.
Xie Xiaoyan, China's ambassador to Ethiopia and the country's envoy to the African Union, said Wednesday that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to the Yasakuni Shrine in Tokyo in December was offensive to China. The ambassador said the shrine honours war criminals who committed crimes against the Chinese people.
On Sunday Chinese activists brawled with Japanese embassy security personnel in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, after they took pictures of the embassy and protested against Abe's visit.
Abe told the media in Ethiopia on Tuesday that Japan is in Africa as part of his "strategic diplomacy." He noted that Japan has UN peacekeepers stationed in South Sudan, where rebels are fighting government forces. - Sapa-AP
