moreScanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) is the enabling tool for nano(bio)technology, which has opened new vistas in many interdisciplinary research areas. Concomitant with the developments in SPM instrumentation and techniques are new and previously unthought-of opportunities in materials nanofabrication and characterisation. In particular, the developments in addressing and manipulating matter at the level of single atoms or molecules, and studies of biological materials (e.g. live cells, or cell membranes) result in new and exciting discoveries. The rising importance of SPM demands a concise treatment in the form of a book which is accessible to interdisciplinary practitioners. This book highlights recent advances in the field of SPM with sufficient depth and breadth to provide an intellectually stimulating overview of the current state of the art.The book is based on a set of carefully selected original works from renowned contributors on topics that range from atom technology, scanning tunneling spectroscopy of self-assembled nanostructures, SPM probe fabrication, scanning force microscopy applications in biology and materials science down to the single molecule level, novel scanning probe techniques, and nanolithography. The variety of topics underlines the strong interdisciplinary character of SPM related research and the combined expertise of the contributors gives a unique opportunity to discuss possible future trends in SPM related research. This makes the book not merely a collection of already published material but an enlightening insight into cutting edge research and global SPM research trends. less

Teen Calls 911, Reports Mom As Drunk Driver
MARCH 16--An Iowa woman was arrested for drunk driving last night after her 15-year-old daughter--who was a passenger in her mothers car--called 911 to contemporaneously report that her parent was impaired behind the wheel.
As a result, cops busted Lori Anne Sedlacek Becicka, a 47-year-old Oxford resident, for operating a vehicle under the influence, child endangerment, and resisting arrest, all misdemeanors.

In January 2011, the first set of Census 2010 data products for Texas was released. CHS staff have analyzed the change in Texas' population and produced two webpages detailing changes between 2000 and 2010. As more Census 2010 becomes available additional results will be available on our website.
Texas added 4,293,741 residents between April 1, 2000 and April 1, 2010. Between 2000 and 2010 all races and ethnicities grew in total population. The Hispanic ethnicity was the fastest growing group in Texas with 2,791,255 new residents. 79 counties in Texas had a population decline from 2000-2010.
Find these tables of early results from the 2010 Census on the population pages of the DSHS Center for Health Statistics.
Maybe you have noticed that the DSHS website is changing. The agency just launched a new version of the website that involves a major revision to the development platform that we use to create content pages. So you may not find some of the most recent content while we learn how to incorporate those pages into the new system.

Take another "Spooky Pumpkin Stroll" at Primrose Hill School in Barrington on Friday evening, Oct. 27. Kids in costume, if you want.
Hundreds of carved pumpkins will be spread out across the playing fields outside the school on Middle Highway from 6:30 to 9 pm. It's a PTO fundraiser.
"Last year, we had over 1,000 people come and over 400 pumpkins on display," said Andrea Carlotto of the PTO.
There also will be a hayride by Four Town Farm for a $1 donation, and there will be other family-friendly activities and plenty of treats, including pumpkin doughnuts, popcorn and hot chocolate, she said.
"We will have a bootique," she said. "And you can try your hand at the witches cauldron."
There is a rain date, Saturday, Oct. 27, said Carlotto. Same time.

Legal System Development
In general, there are three stages that most legal systems progress through:
The only recognizable characteristic of a pre-legal society is that it has no established ways of dealing with disputes that arise in a society. A small society may remain in this stage for an extended period of time, but when the population density reaches a certain point there are too many people who don't know each other and a more formal system is needed.
A proto-legal society has rules as well as procedures for handling disputes. At this stage there is no distinction between rules (social standards, such as it's not nice to point), and laws (linking specific acts to specific consequences). This is a linking stage between the anarchistic pre-legal stage, and the more rigid legal stage.
A legal society is one such as ours, which society has deemed certain acts so undesirable as to warrant a punishment. These societies have not given up their rules, but the rules do not necessarily result in punishment. Because the laws of a society link acts with punishment, normally a society must have developed a form of writing in order to enter this stage
After the Dark Ages - About 1200-900 BC - and beginning at about 900 BC, the Ancient Greeks had no official laws or punishments.
Murders were settled by members of the victim's family, who would then go and kill the murderer.
This often began endless blood feuds.
It was not until the middle of the seventh century BC that the Greeks first began to establish official laws.
Around 620 BC Draco, the lawgiver, wrote the first known written law of Ancient Greece.
This law established exile as the penalty for homicide and was the only one of Draco's laws that Solon kept when he was appointed law giver in about 594 BC. Solon created many new laws that fit into the four basic categories of Ancient Greek law.
A tort occurs when someone does harm to you or to your property
Draco and Solon wrote many of these laws.
These laws had specific penalties for specific crimes.
Most crimes involved monetary (payment) penalties.
Murder was a tort law, and the punishment was exile as set by Draco.
Under Solon's laws, fine for rape was 100 drachmas, and the penalty for theft depended on the amount stolen.
Other offenses and penalties were things like the offense of a dog bite, the penalty for which was to surrender the dog wearing a three-cubit-long wooden collar.
Solon even made laws to serve as guidelines for the spacing and placement of houses, walls, ditches, wells, beehives, and certain types of trees.
Solon also created many family laws, which were laws that regulated the behavior of men and women. He wrote laws on allowances in marriage and adoption, as well as laws concerning inheritances and supporting roles of parents.
Penalties for these laws were not set, but were enforced by the head of the particular family.
Linked to family laws were laws concerning women, whose role in Greek law was extremely small. This is because they were under constant supervision by their kyrios, or "official guardian."
Most often this was a girl's father, or if she were married it was her husband. Because of this supervision, women's role in law was limited to rare court appearances, where she was either presenting evidence in a homicide case, or was being displayed along with her family to try to evoke pity from the jury.
Public laws dictated how public services were to be provided and how public functions should be conducted. Solon contributed some of these laws. He wrote laws that required that people who lived a certain distance from public wells needed to dig their own, laws that forbade the export of agricultural goods except olive oil, laws that restricted the amount of land a man could own, laws that allowed venders to charge any kind of interest rate they wanted to, and even laws that prohibited dealing in perfume.
Procedural laws were guidelines that told judges how to use other laws. These laws told in step-by-step detail how law should be enforced. Procedural laws even included such minute details as how many witnesses must be called forward for someone to be found guilty of homicide.
Law giverswere not rulers or kings, but appointed officials whose only job was to write laws. Most of the lawgivers were middle class members of the aristocracy and many were arkhons before becoming a law giver. The officials in the government wanted to make sure that law givers would not take sides or be a part of just one group, otherwise laws might be unfair. Because of this, law givers were not a part of normal government, and they were considered political outsiders.
One of the most famous law givers in Athens was Draco. His homicide law is the first known written law of Ancient Greece. He was appointed law giver in Athens after a failed Cylon attempt to overthrow the government. Draco earned a reputation for being extremely severe with his punishments, and it is even argued that he set death as the penalty for all offenses. He served as law giver until he was succeeded by Solon in about 594 BC
Solon was appointed law giver in Athens because he did not take any sides. He was known to be a fair man, and so he had full support from all of the various political parties. When he replaced Draco, Solon threw out all of the old laws except for the homicide law, and he created many new laws, especially in the categories of tort and family laws.
In order to have punishments carried out, the Ancient Greeks needed some sort of system to "try," "convict," and "sentence" guilty persons. To do this, they created a court system. Ancient Greek courts were cheap and run by what people today would call amateurs. Court officials were paid little, if anything, and most trials were completed in the same day, private cases even more quickly.
There were no "professional" court officials, no lawyers, and no official judges. A normal case consisted of two "litigants," one who argued that an unlawful act was committed, and the other argued his defense. The audience, or "jurors," would vote for one side or the other. The result was either a guilty or not guilty, after which another vote by the jury would decide the punishment.
Oratory rhetoric was divided into epideictic, deliberative, and forensic. Deliberative was used to address the people in the general Assembly. Forensic was delivered in the law courts. These are usually called political oratory because they both deal with government. Epideictic or display oratory included all other orations, such as those delivered during festivals, public rites, or moral discourses
While under Macedonian rule oratory rhetoric languished and Athens became a provincial town. Other cities succeeded Athens, the "School of Greece" as Pericles had called her. However, oratory eventually degenerated into declamation.
The Areiopagos is reputed to be the most ancient homicide court in Greece. It first tried cases of homicide, but later began to try other cases as well. It was made up of former arkhons, or magistrates. Actual arkhai (plural of arkhon) were court officials who could conduct a preliminary hearing, but who otherwise had no power over the court or its proceedings. Among the arkhai was a board of eleven members called the Eleven.
The Eleven was in charge of prisoners and executions. They had the right to arrest any criminal that had been denounced to them, and could even execute the criminal if he was 'ep autophoro' - caught in the act.
Around the fifth century BC, the Areiopagos was split into four types of courts, each trying a different type of homicide case.
The Areiopagos remained but now dealt primarily with religious and political cases.
The four new courts were the Prutaneion, which tried cases of death caused by an animal or inanimate object, the Palladion, which dealt with cases of involuntary homicide and the killing of non citizens, the Delphinion, which tried cases of justifiable homicide, and the Phreatto, which tried those who, while in banishment for involuntary homicide, were charged with murder or intent to harm.
These courts were ruled by a group of about fifty-one members, called the ephetai.
These members were selected from the Areiopagos and remained in charge of the courts until about 403 or 402 BC, when they were replaced by dikastai, democratically selected jurors.
With the emergence of the ephetai came a new age of dikastic courts. Previous courts were replaced with one, which heard every kind of case.
Regular public prosecutions were referred to as a graphe, and a dike was a private prosecution.
Graphe translates literally into 'a writing,' and in this case it means 'a written indictment'.
Dike translates literally into 'prosecution'.
The dikastai had the power to decide the law, to decide the facts, and to pass sentence on the party(s) involved.
To qualify as a member of the dikastai, one needed to meet three requirements.
The potential dikastes needed to have full citizen rights, be at least thirty years old, and he had to be one of the six thousand fully qualified citizens that took the dikastic oath at the start of that year.
For normal cases the dikastai was made up of about 500 members, and for private cases either 200 or 400, depending on the sum involved.
Fulfilling the requirements of the dikastai did not require the individual to then be available to try cases every day.
Each panel of dikastai was simply made up of those legitimate dikastai members that showed up that day.
Those that joined the dikastai for that day would oversee a typical case consisting of a dispute between two litigants. The verdict in the case was a vote for one or the other.
Verdicts in Athenian courts were not subject to appeal, and sometimes the dikastai would vote after the trial to find a penalty as well.

British Cycling seek Government action
5:07pm Thursday 8th November 2012 in National Sport © Press Association 2014
British Cycling have called for a new Government-led safety drive after Tour de France winner Bradley Wiggins' road accident was followed less than 24 hours later by a serious injury to their head coach Shane Sutton.
Wiggins has been released from hospital after a vehicle collided with him on Wednesday but Sutton suffered bleeding on the brain following a road accident while on his bike in Manchester on Thursday morning. The two accidents prompted British Cycling to call on the Government for immediate action.
A British Cycling spokeswoman said: "British Cycling is calling on the government to put cycling at the heart of transport policy to ensure that cycle safety is built into the design of all new roads, junctions and transport projects, rather than being an afterthought."
The spokeswoman added: "It is extremely rare that our riders and coaches are hurt while out cycling on the road, even rarer that two incidents should occur in a short space of time, and we wish Shane and Bradley a speedy recovery.
"Cycling is not an intrinsically dangerous activity but there is much more to be done to improve conditions for cyclists on the roads."
Sutton was wearing a helmet when he was in collision with a Peugeot 206 being driven by a 61-year-old man in Levenshulme.
The British Cyclist spokeswoman added: "Shane was taken into hospital where it was identified he has suffered bruising and bleeding on the brain. Shane was wearing a helmet. He is set to undergo more tests, and is likely to stay in hospital for the next few days."
British Cycling director of policy and legal affairs Martin Gibbs believes that Britain has a lot to learn from abroad where there is greater provision on the roads for cyclists.
He told BBC Radio Five Live: "These incidents do remind you that we've got a long way to go we need to look to our cousins abroad and [Denmark capital] Copenhagen and see what they've done. Around 30% of people making journeys there do so on their bike. We need the department of transport to stop thinking of cycling as an add-on."
Wiggins, 32, was thrown off his bike when a white Vauxhall Astra Envoy is thought to have pulled out of a petrol station and collided with him. A police source said his injuries from the crash were thought to be very serious at first, but later it appeared he suffered a number of broken ribs and cuts and bruises.

Would someone please ask T.O. to shut up?
On one hand, he backs up his game, as reader David put in his statement here on XSmack--on the other, when do you cross the line? Unfortunately, though, he does have a point. Except for acting like an idiot on the field, he hasn't been busted like a lot of other NFL'ers have--is it OK to be implicated in a double murder, but not OK to act like a total jerkwad on the field?
The reason the NFL backs Ray Lewis so much and not T.O. is because Ray Lewis is a team player. Not only is he one of the greatest, if not the greatest, linebackers in the league, he is a team player. He's not out to play for himself. You can see him on the sidelines helping out other players and getting them pumped up. After the double murder case, he made an extra effort to try to clear his image. That said, the guy could be a jerk off the field but that doesn't matter. What matters is what happens on the field.
T.O. takes away from his team's glory. Is anybody discussing how the Eagles are undefeated this year? No. They're discussing his antics. If he would just shut up for the rest of the season, people would respect him more.
As a Ravens fan, I'm glad he did not go to Baltimore.

Original recipe yields 4 servings
- Cook bacon until crisp. I prefer to use an indoor grill. Bacon can also be cooked in a skillet over medium-high heat, or the microwave at about 1 minute per slice. Drain on paper towels, and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, stir together the spinach and blue cheese. Crumble in the bacon, and stir to distribute.
- Lay the chicken breast halves out on a clean surface, and distribute the spinach mixture evenly onto the centers of them. Fold the chicken over the filling, and secure with toothpicks. Stir together the flour, salt and pepper on a dinner plate. Roll the chicken in the flour to coat.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly brown each piece of chicken on top and bottom. Remove to a lightly greased baking dish, and cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken juices run clear, and filling is hot.

Really delicious--if you like blue cheese. My husband calls this one a keeper. Instead of browning on the stove, I simply breaded these in breadcrumbs and crushed nuts and baked them. You can prepare several servings at once, freeze before baking, thaw and then bake at a later date. So I triple this recipe--not much more work, but we get three separate dinners out of it!
What a Dish!
You know, I was actually going to make up a recipe for spinach and blue cheese stuffed chicken breasts, but came here first to see if there was a reicpe for what I had in mind. This is almost it! These are my changes: I only had fresh spinach so I wilted it in the micro (one-minute intervals...man that stuff shrinks!). Mixed it with blue cheese (for hubby, I did shredded mozzarella and a bit of light sour cream cause he dislikes blue cheese and I just had the mozz on hand). I then pounded my chicken breasts, spread the cheese mixture on one side and rolled it up, wrapping two whole, raw bacon slices around it. Didn't even need toothpicks. Pretty easy to prepare too (I prepared the cheese/spinach mixture ahead of time and put in in some tupperware in the fridge). I skipped the browning with flour and olive oil- as the bacon cooked in the oven it took care of that part. I loves this dish! Tasted hubby's and it was good, although not as good as mine, because I LOVE blue cheese!
This recipe is SO good. One of my faves, and now I have it memorized. The only change I made was to add minced garlic and chopped onions. Everyone that has had it, loves it!

LAUREL, Del.- Delaware State Police are looking for a suspect wanted in connection with an attempted murder in Laurel.
Investigators said 24-year old Manuel Vasquez stabbed a 27-year-old man in the face Thursday afternoon near Five Points Liquor Store. According to police, the two men got into a fight at which time Vasquez stabbed the victim in the face multiple times.
The owner of Five Points Liquor Store tells WBOC that the stabbing happened along a sidewalk, just a few feet away from his store. An eyewitness who wants to remain anonymous tells WBOC he saw the whole thing unfold right in his backyard.
That neighbor also tells WBOC that saw a few men arguing before one of them got stabbed.
The blood-stained grass is a tragic reminder of what happened.
Joseph Mullen, who lives nearby, said, "I've been here for a little over two months. I've seen more drama in two months than I've seen in my life span."
Mullen is n ot alone. Other neighbors in the area who did not want to speak with WBOC on camera say crime is on the rise.
Police said after Vasquez stabbed his victim in the face, he ran away from the scene.
"I think we need to focus on the right way of doing things, as much as we think it's hard doing that, but the outcome will definitely come out gratefully," said Mullen.
Mullen and others in the community say they hope something is done about what seems to be an increase in crime in Laurel.
Police said Vasquez is also wanted for assault and possession of a deadly weapon while committing a felony.
Anyone with information on Vasquez's whereabouts can make an anonymous call to police at 1-800-TIP-3333.

Skeptico on What The (Bleep) Do We Know!? (1)
"Think it while you drink it."
Posted by Shannon
I have a healthy appreciation for bullshit. Don't get me wrong, I'm generally very anti-bullshit, especially when it comes to things like justifications for war, regressive anti-science and scaring people to (literal) death. You know: things that matter.
But I must confess, I do take a certain amount of pleasure in watching bullshit separate fools from their money. If it's audacious enough, it can be like watching a well-crafted crime caper.
Which leads us to H2Om.

Shannon overthinks a 3-D action movie
Posted by Shannon
or, Journey to the Center of Eden
According to Walden Media's Wikipedia entry, they deny that they are an overtly Christian production company. They have had to make this denial as they are owned by Philip Anschutz (noted conservative Christian and funder of the Discovery Institute), not to mention they produced the film adaptation of your favorite Feline Christ narrative and mine, The Chronicles of Narnia.
I'm actually inclined to go along with them. As I look at their filmography, it's all family oriented stuff, but very few of their films have overtly Christian themes. Some of their output has been absolutely atrocious, but only Narnia is clearly Christian propaganda.
At least I thought so. That brings us to Eric Brevig's 3-D Brendan Frasier vehicle, Journey to the Center of the Earth. Wait a minute, I can hear you asking, How can an adaptation of a Jules Verne novel be seen as Christian propaganda? Well, that's the thing: it's not an adaptation.
The premise of this
theme park ride film is that Verne's account in Journey to the Center of the Earth is literally true. Frasier's older brother was a geologist with some kookie ideas about lava tubes thousands of miles deep, who went off to Iceland to investigate his theories and vanished. Ten years later, Frasier comes across an old, dog-eared copy of his brother's favorite book (guess) that's cryptically annotated1 in ways that suggest what he was up to.
Frasier, being the sort of grossly irresponsible adult that keeps these types of movies clipping along, scoots off to Iceland with his annoyingly-surly-cum-annoyingly-eager teenage nephew (the lava-tube-kook's son, of course). Yadda, yadda, yadda… Strained comedy happens. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
In short time, they find out from the leggy, blonde, Icelandic love interest that their brother/father was a "Vernian:" someone who believes that Jules Verne's account of the lost world at the center of the Earth is literally true. Whether Vernians extend this to his other works is never addressed, although I'm rooting for Mysterious Island.
Through a series of unlikely events (lightning, mine cars), Frasier, the kid & the hottie end up falling down a lava tube and landing in Verne's weird subterranean world. "He was right!" Frasier says of his dearly departed brother, "People ridiculed him for what he believed but he was right!"
This is the point in this post when I get a bit nervous, wondering if I'm reading way too much into what is otherwise simple escapist fare. "Overthinking a plate of beans," as they say at MetaFilter. OK… is this aspect of the story speaking directly to the Creationists in the audience?
This guy takes a clearly fictional and ridiculous story and interprets it as true, all evidence to the contrary, and is ridiculed by the scientific establishment. But, get this: it turns out he was right!
I could have left this alone as a plot device, but that line of dialogue quoted above just won't let me. In context, it seems shoehorned in, and it seems specially designed to cater to the persecution complex that most conservative Christians share these days. Especially Creationists.
Once that one line planted the seed in my mind, something else started bothering me. Despite the movie's assertion that Verne's novel is complete non-fiction, the reality of the underground world differs from the novel in a key way. From Wikipedia:
The living organisms they meet reflects the geological time; just as the rock layers become older and older the deeper one gets, the animals get more and more ancient the closer the characters come to the center. From a scientific point of view, this story has not aged quite as well as other Verne stories, since most of his ideas about what the interior of the Earth contains have since been proven wrong. However, a redeeming point to the story is Verne's own belief, told within the novel from the viewpoint of a character, that the inside of the Earth does indeed differ from that which the characters encounter. One of Verne's main ideas with his stories was also to educate the readers, and by placing the different extinct creatures the characters meet in their correct geological era, he is able to show how the world looked like millions of years ago, stretching from the ice age to the dinosaurs.
This is an element of the story that is completely thrown out the window, in favor of a smattering of "prehistoric" creatures that pop in here and there, such as bioluminescent birds, predatory plants, and a giant carnosaur that appears to be twice as large as the biggest T. rex.2 I find it surprising that this blatantly educational aspect of the story was thrown out, considering Walden's emphasis on education. Wikipedia again, because I'm feeling lazy:
Walden Media is unique among film production companies in that it works with teachers, museums, and national organizations to develop supplemental educational programs and materials associated with its films and the original events and/or novels that inspire the films.
But you eliminate this one element, you also eliminate two Creationist pet peeves: discussion of an ancient earth and a narrative that also functions as metaphor. There's no room for metaphor in this literal view of Verne.
Again, I realize that I may be reading way to much into this, but keep in mind that it kept me entertained when the movie did not. I had absolutely nothing else to think about! The movie is a chore to watch, in a way that has nothing to do with religion or politics. The writing is flat when it's not sappy, the action scenes are dull and few in number3 and, as an advocate of digital filmmaking, I'm going to pretend this movie was never made. By that, I mean it displays all the staginess of a movie that was shot in a small green screen studio by someone who doesn't know how to make that not matter. The characters always seem confined to small areas as their epic surroundings swirl around them. I didn't see this in 3-D, mind you, but I doubt it would have helped too much. Poor Frasier… I usually enjoy him!
1 Why bother with encoding your notes if you're going to half-ass it? Frasier and the kid crack it during a plane ride.
2 Seeing as how we never see any prey animals of any size, I have to wonder how this environment supports an alpha predator this big. /DORK

Sue Jones-Davies, the actress who played Judith Iscariot in Monty Python's Life of Bryan, is now mayor of the Welsh town of Aberystwyth* and is trying to lift the town's ban on… The Life of Brian!
Some religious groups picketed cinemas which screened the film, and it was banned from being shown in some towns and cities, including Aberystwyth.
Nearly 30 years on, Mr Bell, vicar of the town's St Michael's Church, said the restriction should remain in place.
"There's been no change in attitude or response to the film amongst the Christians who have spoken to me in Aberystwyth," he explained.
"The film at its root is poking fun at Christ and we don't want that to happen. I don't think that the film should be shown. Why should the ban be removed?"
Asked if he had ever seen the film, Mr Bell said he had "seen a small clip, that's all".
Surprise, surprise. Read the whole thing.

Rep. Broun has introduced H.R. 5821, also known as the Military Honor and Decency Act, which would close what he calls a loophole that allows the continued distribution of pornography to soldiers, to their moral detriment, with the help of taxpayer funds.
"As a Marine, I am deeply concerned for the welfare of our troops and their mission," Broun said on April 17. "Allowing the sale of pornography on military bases has harmed military men and women by: escalating the number of violent, sexual crimes; feeding a base addiction; eroding the family as the primary building block of society; and denigrating the moral standing of our troops both here and abroad. Our troops should not see their honor sullied so that the moguls behind magazines like Playboy and Penthouse can profit. The 'Military Honor and Decency Act' will right a bureaucratic–and moral–wrong."

The great pious Catholic Pope stands before this man, and what does he say? Does he mention that Jesus asked that we do to others as we would have them do to us? Does he remind him that they call their religious figurehead the "Prince of Peace", and that he asked us to turn the other cheek when we were struck, or that he asked that we protect the poor and weak? Does he point out that the central event in their shared faith was the torture and execution of their prophet and god, and that the New Testament isn't about emulating the heroic Romans?catholic church, George W. Bush, Politics, Religion, the pope
No, of course not. An obscenely wealthy old man heading an organization that protects child abusers and advocates horrendous and ignorant social practices that harm the poor all around the world would look utterly hypocritical even trying to rebuke a war-monger and apologist for torture. So instead he stands there and tells him that they share common principles founded in fear of a nebulous god. Those are 'principles' I reject — they seem to be nothing but labile excuses for doing as you will to anyone who falls under your thumb.
There's an evil tableau for you: the callous torturer stands up with blood on his hands and a lie in his teeth, while the priest draped in gilt reassures him of his righteousness. How often has that scene played out in history, I wonder?
Got to have priorities, I guess

The two remaining Democratic presidential candidates recently agreed to participate in the Compassion Forum, scheduled for April 13 at Messiah College in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Billed as a conversation on faith and values, the event will be broadcast by the Church Communication Network. It also comes five days before a proposed science debate that was canceled after the candidates refused to participate.
Emphasis mine. Why would they want to talk about, you know, issues that actually affect the future of life on this planet, when they could be yammering away about the same ancient lies that have been killing people for millennia.
Fuck. And this is the comparatively rational party. It's enough to make you want to take the Lord's name in vain. Read on.

How to gain more WOW Gold fast and safe? Many players will say farm farm farm and some others will tell me to buy some WOW Gold. Yep! There are so many sites supplying wow gold and we have a lot of choice. www.ugamegold.com
Piece it is frowned on by the makers of Humanity of Warcraft (they freshly banned thousands of

My other time of advice for you would be to gestate grouping with exaltedreputations on eBay, but again various eBay accounts were apparently banned for selling yellowness, and fill are in the touch of turn over all the quantify. Added solacement for you is that if for any faculty the yellowness is not delivered, you can be guaranteed that both your assets greeting accompany and Paypal testament be on your side, and faculty alter the aim. For further advice, I advise that you pay for it using your impute bill and Paypal.
The weekend has passed, I played wow and bought some more WOW Gold again. Hoho~ Y? Cheap WOW Gold is every player's needs. What's known around our place as "the day of extras": extra sleep, extra housework (blarrrg), extra mileage on the jogging trail, extra errands in game (going fishing in hopes of catching up with Mr. Pinchy, anyone?).
Wow Gold Realm Is Here So How Should U Miss The Cheap WOW Gold?
by timefly2, Mon Jun 15, 2009 at 10:45:54 PM EDT
I want to buy more WOW Gold recently. I have been to many sites before and I found they are cheating players sometimes. What players really need is a reliable site supplying cheap and good WOW Gold. The service is important too. We want to get the cheapest WOW Gold and best service. I have played wow for a long time and I have deep emotion in it, but it does not appeal my much attention cuz I know I have to live in reality.
People have only been able to get their hands on the WoW themed Mountain Dew Game Fuel within the last couple of weeks (and is only officially supposed to be in stores today), despite the months of hype being thrown behind the product. Throwing more gasoline on the hype-fire comes the new Game Fuel commercial, which you can watch above. Watch it a few times, actually. You may need it to fully comprehend what you've just watched. I have told many players not buy much WOW Gold. It is really a waste of money. If you have a good site saving your money, it is a good idea to buy more Cheap WOW Gold. I have played wow for many years. I am a super game player now. I heard of many sites supplying WOW Gold and I chose one at last. Maybe it is not the best one but it is the one made me feel comfortable. The customer service is better and WOW Gold there is cheaper than other sites.
It's terrible. Nobody who actually plays WoW will find this commercial anything but corny. It's definitely not aimed at us. Or if it is, the people who made it probably... you know, shouldn't have been the ones to make it. And does it frighten anybody else that even though they used two females as the soda-swilling gamers, one of them turned into a dude? I mean, play whatever avatars you want in-game, but there's something disturbing about a pretty young lady hulking out and turning into a bulging green monstrosity. And I'm not talking She-Hulk. I'm talking a throbbing mass of masculine muscle. Augh. I'm not sure I want to let my girlfriend drink this stuff anymore.
Guys, I want to receive some tips of getting WOW Gold from you. We exchange info about Cheap WOW Gold. OK? Reply me please.

A couple of weeks ago Time Magazine broke a story so powerful that it managed to capture the blogosphere's attention away from the "Ground Zero Mosque" for almost 13 minutes. It was a summary of a scientific paper that confirmed what leading hedonists and industry drunkards had long been slurring about. The paper in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research entitled "Suck It, Teetotalers!" revealed that abstaining from alcohol coincides with a significant increase in mortality rates over drinkers.
Science gets me so hard sometimes.
The propensity of non-drinkers to die early, henceforth known as The NoBuzzKill Effect, was noted whether compared to moderate or heavy drinkers. Allow that to sink in for a minute. You can drink like you're trying to avenge your liver running off with your wife and it's STILL statistically healthier than not drinking at all.
This changes everything. A completely blotto weekend in Tijuana could be the new health spa retreat. Bros Icing Bros would evolve from being a completely insipid fratboy game to an altruistic form of community outreach (that still manages to be insipid). This could the be new face of Big Pharma:
Tiny cola capsules sold separately
So why does the Angel of Death opt to ominously hover over total downers? The study speculates (which is code for "wild-ass guesses validated by wearing a lab coat") that the social interactions that accompany imbibing are vital for good health. Drinking correlates with having friends to drink with, meaning there are people in the drinker's life who care enough to point out their throbbing neck tumor is definitely not getting any smaller.
Or the Reaper is just a big fan of euthanasia. I applaud your integrity, Grim.
Rogue Chocolate Stout (6.3% ABV)
This stout is black. I thought at first it was just a really, really, really dark brown, but upon further consideration I think you can just call this black. You might look at a beer this dark and wonder how much blacker it could possibly be made, but the answer is none. None more black.*
The luscious cocoa-powder head on this is spitting out some amazing smells. There is most certainly dark chocolate in the nose with an earthy truffle smell as well. This beer just shifted gears from "intriguing" to "fancypants".
I'm sorry to report that this beer's taste largely mirrors what it looks like – coffee that's been warming in a pot for a bit too long. There's a mild sweetness that is quickly obliterated by a abrasive, bitter burned flavor. Imagine a flavor somewhere between burned toast and charred human flesh. I may have just said too much.
The aftertaste is a bit more successful at transmitting a chocolate flavor than the initial onslaught, but espresso notes really take center stage. The mouthfeel is moderately full, but not as thick as its 10-30W opacity would suggest.
The IBUs (International Bittering Units) measurement of 69 (lol) tell the tale on this one – this chocolate stout has a serious bite to it. I've got no problems with a challenging beer, but I imagine this is not what most people would expect when reaching for a "chocolate stout". In fact, I'm on the cusp of declaring shenanigans on Rogue for this one. They posture that chipper lass on the label as if you could enjoy this beer with all the ease of pounding a YooHoo, when the reality is far darker. This beer is the liquid embodiment of despair. Only the most weary and hardened are likely to embrace it. If Rogue had any integrity their label would honestly depict the haggard, embittered target audience for this beer:
That's more like it. Thanks, Joaquin.
This beer does have some merits and there's no questioning its richness, but it just wasn't what I was looking for.
Grade: C
* This Is Spinal Tap has been released for over 25 years, which means that was technically an homage, not blatant thievery. It also means I need to get more contemporary cultural references in the rolodex. Kicking that effort off by referencing a "rolodex" probably isn't helping much.
Rogue Dead Guy Ale (6.6% ABV)
Before we get into the meat of this review, is anyone else struck by how the label imagery seems to be the fossilized remains of a pope shitting in a Rogue beer barrel? I'm no marketing guru, but I'm thinking alienating Catholics is probably not a sound way to expand your demographic. On the other hand, very few breweries can lay claim to an ingredient of such fecal distinction…
The head on Dead Guy Ale builds like clusters of fish roe, but quickly ebb away. It has a nectary and malty aroma (very much akin to malt extract actually) and a hazy honey coloration.
In Rogue's grand tradition of oddly misleading beer labels, this maibock is way more accessible than something hinting at imminent death would suggest. The flavor is light and malty with very little hop presence. It's got the sweetness of Hawaiian bread or maybe a biscuit dipped in honey. It's not quite as sticky as a champagne, but it definitely embodies that kind of carbonation and dry finish. Some grassy hops arise in the aftertaste when you wait a minute or two between chugs, if you're the perverse type that likes to stop drinking for that long.
This beer really deserves credit for pulling off an almost sticky sweetness without leaving the drinker in desperate need of a palate cleanse. It would probably rock with Thai food, where the sweet and spice are both prominent. I'd recommend this as a good transition beer for those hooked on mead, a common complaint at my Renaissance Faire Anonymous meetings.
The first step is admitting I am powerless to dressing up like a squire one weekend a month.
Grade: A

Whether you find them frustrating or fascinating, they are a part of the birdwatchers backyard.
In Canada, some have rufous bellies and tails. Black phase is common in northern parts of its range.
The female gives off a scent that attracts males. A line of males can be seen chasing one female. The ones immediately behind her are the more dominant males, and one will probably be allowed to breed with her.
Their home or nest is a leafy nest located in a cavity or fork of a tree.
Cavities suitable for squirrel nests occur most often in older trees, particularly white oaks, elms, sycamores and soft maples.
Leaf nests are usually built in the tops of large trees and consist of a rough twig framework with a bulky pile of leaves heaped layer upon layer.
The squirrel hollows out a nest cavity in the center of the leaves.
Gray squirrels pregnancy requires about 45 days, one to eight young comprise a litter, but two or three are most common.
The young are hairless at birth, have their eyes and ears closed, and possess well developed claws. They come out of the nest for the first time when 6 to 7 weeks old, and in another week or so are weaned.
In the winter, when the days are shorter, noontime is their peak activity time.
The primary natural foods of these creatures are nuts; fruits and buds of hickory, pecan,walnut, elm and mulberry trees; and field corn.
To bury a nut, a gray squirrel digs a hole about 3 to 4 inches deep, puts the nut inside, pushes it down whith its nose, and then pulls the soil over it with its front paws.
When it wants to retrieve the nut, it goes to the general area and locates it either by the smell or by its own scent, which was left when it buried the nut with its nose.
They do not defend these territories. However, there is a dominance hierachy with others of the same species. In general, older males are dominant over females and younger squirrels.

SALEM — Opponents of National Grid's plan to install underground transmission cables through the downtown are trying to place a non-binding referendum question on the November ballot seeking public support for an underwater route.
A group of business leaders and neighbors began circulating a petition this week in the hope of getting the issue before the City Council on Thursday night, its last meeting until September. They want the council to vote to add the ballot question.
"It's an initiative petition," said Mary Madore, a Salem Common resident who lives near the planned route. "We want to get enough signatures to get on the City Council agenda next Thursday."
The petition needs only 10 signatures, she said, so they will definitely have that number and file it Monday with the city clerk.
The petition asks the public to support installation of a major portion of two electric transmission cables under Salem Harbor.
National Grid is replacing two high-voltage cables that run about a mile from a substation next to Salem Harbor Station on Fort Avenue to another substation on Canal Street.
The company had planned to install new cables along two routes: one that ran along Derby Street to Canal Street, and another through a Salem Common neighborhood, down Congress Street and through the Point and South Salem.
In a change of plans last month, National Grid said engineers have determined that both cables can run in a single duct down the second route: Fort Avenue, Forrester Street, Washington Square South, Congress, Fairfield and Cypress streets.
The company said it will still have to dig up Derby and Canal streets to remove existing cables.
National Grid said it investigated the route under Salem Harbor, which would be accomplished by using a technology known as horizontal directional drilling, but determined it would be too expensive to build and too difficult to repair.

Deformable models are physics-based models that deform under the laws of Newton mechanics, in particular, by the theory of elasticity expressed in the Lagrange dynamics. These models (snakes, balloons, etc.)
are active models that represent a powerfull tool to treat physical objects in images. The goal of the course is to show deformable models as an appropriate technique for different problems of Computer Vision: segmentation,
3D reconstruction, non-rigid motion recovering, etc.
Special attention will be paid to show different applications of the deformable model technique.

Part II, Fundamentals of snakes
Part IIb, B-snakes
Part III, High-dimensional snakes
Part IV, Variations of snakes and their application to the segmentation problem, segmentation of radiographs and facial images

Part VI, Topologically invariant (geodesic) snakes
Part VII, Statistic snakes
Part VIII, Statistic snakes applied to facial analysis

ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) - Congressional Democrats and Republicans split up across Virginia to deliver dueling messages about the need for a bipartisan deal to stop $85 billion in looming budget cuts that take effect Friday.
In Arlington Monday, Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine and Reps. Jim Moran and Gerry Connolly joined leaders from the travel industry to warn of the cuts' impact on aviation. Meanwhile, in Virginia Beach, Republican Reps. Rob Wittman, Randy Forbes and Scott Rigell talked about the cuts' effect on the military.
Kaine said a real compromise should include a balance of tax increases and budget cuts. He said Washington should follow the lead of state lawmakers in Richmond who passed a bipartisan tax increase to fund transportation.
Republicans said the GOP-controlled House has passed legislation sparing the military from cuts.

Associated Press
An east Georgia woman is charged with stealing more than $267,000 from her neighborhood association.
Authorities say 46-year-old Laurie Wainwright Vanover is charged with multiple counts of theft in Columbia County.
She says she's innocent of the charges.
The Augusta Chronicle reports that Vanover is a former treasurer of the Stratford Community Association in Evans.
The subdivision has 491 homes, and the association maintains a community pool, a park and an activity field.
Association president Tom Gorta reported that money was missing in December, and Vanover surrendered to police in May.
A grand jury indicted Vanover last month, and she pleaded not guilty to felony charges on Thursday.
Vanover is accused of using an ATM card, a debit card and checks to pay personal debts with association money.

Madsen held after fight with son
6:56am Saturday 10th March 2012 in Leisure © Press Association 2014
Hollywood star Michael Madsen has been arrested after a fight with his teenage son.
A Los Angeles County sheriff's statement said the Kill Bill actor was arrested at his home in Malibu, California, after police were called about a family disturbance.
Detectives from the Special Victims Bureau are investigating allegations that Madsen was under the influence of alcohol and fought with his son, who did not need medical attention.
Madsen was arrested for investigation of cruelty to a child and taken to the Lost Hills police station.
He is being held on 100,000 dollars (£63,000) bail.
Madsen, 54, is best known for the Quentin Tarantino films Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. He recently starred in Celebrity Big Brother in the UK.

Senator Fran Pavley, who represents the area as part of the 27th State Senate District, has opened a new local office in Calabasas.
Pavley's previous office, when she served the old State District 23 prior to last year's redistricting, was located in Santa Monica. Calabasas is closer to the geographic center of the new District 27, which covers portions of four different area codes and is as widespread as to include parts of the city of Santa Clarita, Chatsworth, Porter Ranch, Simi Valley, Moorpark and Thousand Oaks to the west and north and Winnetka, Reseda and Tarzana to the east and south. Pavley also serves Canoga Park, Encino, West Hills and Agoura Hills.
"Throughout my Senate campaign and the early days of the new Legislative session, it has been a joy to get to know my new constituents in the 27th District," Senator Pavley said. "I look forward to the opportunity to continue to get to know these communities, and to continue to serve my entire district."
The new office is at 5016 N. Parkway Calabasas, Suite 222, Calabasas. The main phone number is 818-876-3352. Additional office numbers are 661-263-2628 and 310-830-1961. Send faxes to 818-876-0802.
