I was always very aware of my sexuality. Not only was I aware of it, but all the guys were aware of it also. I could feel them staring at me even when I could not see them looking my way. It never unnerved me though. I was an attention getter. I had always been an attention getter. That was something that developed with me, along with other things, in high school and it never left me.
One person in particular noticed how my sexuality gave off pheromones. In a way, it bothered me, but in another way, I was flattered. I had just turned eighteen and I was at a family get together. I was getting a drink from the punch bowl on the table when I caught my Uncle Blake, my father's brother, staring at me. At first, I did not know what to think. I mean, I knew why he was staring, but my uncle? Staring at me? I just smiled at him and then walked over to my cousin Rachel, his daughter, to talk to her.

Sticky Tag: |
Removed the Basic syntax and the `cache' slot in the `climacs-pane' class. Fundamental syntax is now the default. This also required moving some things around, but there has not been any functionality changes.
Major motion and editing functions and commands refactoring (see the thread "paredit.lisp, regularization of motion commands, and more" on climacs-devel for full details). Breakage not found during testing, but still expected.
Changed mark-visibility to region visibility. Turn it on and off with Visible Region, for now.
Changes for running climacs in Allegro Common Lisp with Classic CLIM (tm). This includes a bunch of modern mode-related changes to symbol names and creating symbols and reordering of syntax rules definitions due to different compile-time behavior of defclass. The CLIM changes are suprisingly small
Factored out cursor display from syntaxes to a display-cursor method on basic-syntax. Also added a display-mark method, a mark-visible-p slot on climacs-pane, and a command com-toggle-visible-mark to turn display of the mark on and off - useful for developing marking commands.
OK, no-one complained too much, so I'm going ahead with the syntax file-type changes discussed in <email@example.com>: DEFINE-SYNTAX's syntax is changed incompatibly.
Add the TTCN3 syntax

Unemployment has now passed 10%. You can add another 7.5% on to that figure if you include Americans who have given up looking for work. But risky assets are still rallying, though the volatility has picked up in recent sessions.
So have equity markets gone too far too quickly? Of course we will only know retrospectively, in around 18 months after the 08/09 recessionary dust has settled.
But in six months the Fed will start increasing rates and will certainly aggressively withdraw its other stimulus. It has too. Obama's administration will also need to increase taxes or slash spending to start the long and painful process of bringing the fiscal deficit under control.
Both of those scenarios will restrain growth. So unless the consumer, who has historically contributed around 2/3 of economic activity, starts to carry the growth baton, the US economy will fall back into recession. Surely?
Then investors, the 2008/09 crash still fresh in their minds, will sell risky assets at the speed of a thousand gazelles and we will re-visit March's lows and loiter there for years. Which is of course what happened to equities during the Great Depression after the dead cat bounce faded in 1930.

Microsoft has confirmed its plans for a major data center in Dublin, Ireland [1], which we first reported about back in May. Microsoft confirmed that it will spend $500 million on the data center, which will span 51,000 square meters – or about 550,000 square feet, slightly larger than the company's first two data centers in its Live platform buildout in Quincy, Wash. [2] and San Antonio [3]. Real estate industry sources say Microsoft is also planning a huge data center in Northlake, Illinois [4].
The facility will be built at the Grange Castle Business Park in southwest suburban Dublin, near existing plants for Wyeth and Takeda Chemical Industries Ltd. of Japan. In July month the company paid about $15.7 million to purchase 19 acres of land owned by the South Dublin County Council. The facility will be a two-story building with an office component, according to site plans filed for the Dublin facility [5].
"This is the first mega data centre deployment outside the US specifically targeted for the growth and performance of Windows Live services," said John Mangelaars, vice president, Microsoft EMEA Online Services Group.
Dublin is one of the hottest data center markets in Europe. Digital Realty Trust (DLR) has announced a 120,000 square foot greenfield data center project in Dublin, and already owns two existing facilities spanning 140,000 square feet that are fully leased.
Microsoft already employs more than 1,200 people at three campuses in Ireland, its major European base. Microsoft Ireland's managing director, Joe Macri, told the AP the data center would employ an additional 15 to 20 people, reflecting the high level of automation involved, while subcontracts would employ five to six times as many people. He said construction would employ 800.

Interview with Michael Gungor by Crystal Kirgiss
If you read Part 1 of this interview, you know that Michael Gungor is a self-proclaimed wonder junkie, always longing and looking for it. Being continually tuned in to the wonder around him is just one piece of his artistic and human experience. Then comes the work – the very hard work – of creating. Not surprisingly, at that point there are plenty of critics, ready and willing to chime in with an opinion, suggestion, or judgment.
In The Crowd, the Critic, and the Muse, Michael writes: "For the creator, there will always be the voices. Voices of critique. Voices of affirmation. The voices of the ego and the audience. The marketers, the fans, the bloggers, or the executives. The more exposure that an artist has to the outside world, the louder the voices will become. The more successful the work, the more people will step in to try to influence and manipulate the work for their own benefit. The creator has a decision to make. What voice will I listen to? This decision will give her creation its form."
Great insight. Especially for an artist. But what about the rest of us? What does this have to do with, say, youth workers? Plenty, it turns out.
"Art," Michael writes, "is a sacred expression of human creativity that shares the same ontological ground as all human work … the ordering of creation toward the intention of the creator." In Michael's view, we are all creators – even if we don't consider our work art, even if the result is something plain, something merely practical. Sewers, for example ("sewers surely are the result of creative genius"). Or lock-in schedules. Or winter retreat sign-up sheets.
Because we all create, we all must learn to navigate the world of the voices.
Those of us in youth ministry are very familiar with the voices. Especially the outside voices. Parents. Executive pastors. Elders. Deacons. Janitors. Community leaders. Fill-in-the-blank. At times it may feel like our own personal collection of SNL Church Ladies. "Well, isn't that precious?!"
But what about our own voices, our personal Inner Church Ladies as we like to call them at this year's NYWC. What do we do with those?
I asked Michael that question, not just in the context of his music but his entire existence. "To me, that kind of pharisaical voice of judgment is rooted in fear. I definitely still have that voice, thinking I'm not good enough, comparing myself to others, wanting to do things in a way that makes me special and important. Those are voices of the ego, voices of fear."
We all have them. We all hear them.
He goes on to say, "These days, I try not to make my decisions based on those voices. They're there. They speak. But I don't have to obey them. If there's a situation where I have to choose one thing or the other, it's important for me to pause and consider what the voices are saying, and why, before acting. We all need to develop an awareness that there's this thing that's speaking – ego and fear – and then not grasp onto it as the truth."
In other words, tune it out. Don't listen to it. Don't believe it. Don't obey it.
As Michael says to me: "I want to make decisions based in love, not fear."
And as Michael writes to us all: "Love creates. Fear un-creates."

Disney gives Oz The Great and Powerful a Super Bowl 2013 movie trailer. The movie studio has just released a teaser for the Super Bowl trailer to confirm the Super Bowl spot for Oz.
Oz The Great and Powerful opens in theaters March 8, 2013. Watch the Super Bowl 2013 trailer teaser video below.
About Oz The Great and Powerful:
Disney's fantastical adventure "Oz The Great and Powerful," directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum's beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

Upon my return to the US, I set my B.A. in political science aside to take up advanced studies in French, including a year spent in Paris on a French government scholarship. Too many years as a graduate student and one too-long dissertation later, I was armed with a Ph.D. and ready to take on the academic world. My teaching career took me first to Ohio Wesleyan University, a school I had attended as an undergraduate. Dropping enrollments in the 1970s plagued OWU and eventually I made my way to Maine where I lived in the woods with the bears while teaching at the University of New Hampshire. After two years, I had had enough of the harsh climate and headed south to Furman University where I have been since 1986. Hired as a specialist in 18th Century French Literature, I soon discovered that life in a liberal arts institution required versatility and willingness to adapt and retool as one's career progressed. French civilization quickly became an additional specialty until the digital revolution began -- with me, not without me! In 1996, I was appointed director of the Language Resource Center and helped to design and later run the first digital language learning center on campus. In the final phase of my career I have developed an avocation into part of my vocation and now teach several courses in French Cinema. Faculty Courses Taught Name Title Description FRN-110Elementary French IIntroduction to the sound system and grammatical structure necessary to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in French. An appreciation of French-speaking culture underlies the orientation of the course.FRN-201Intermediate French IContinuation of the development of proficiency in listening and speaking, while expanding the reading and writing skills using materials of a literary or cultural nature.MLL-235French CinemaSurvey of French and Francophone cinema from the 1920s to the present day. Topics will include the historical context of each era, the principal film genres, directors, actors, film theory and criticism. All readings and lectures will be in English; all films will be subtitled. Faculty Tab 3 descriptionI believe that the power of education is transformative and that my goal is to guide students in their personal journeys of discovery and transformation. Ostensibly, the content of my courses has something to do with French, be it language, literature, civilization or film. However, the real purpose of my courses is to open students to another way of thinking, being, acting, and representing as well as to prepare them to become lifelong learners. To assume that their education ends the day they receive their diploma is to shortchange them on their education. To assume that their real education begins the day they leave Furman is to prepare them for the future.

Hillis, Dorsey out for Chiefs Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Kansas City running back Peyton Hillis and defensive end Glenn Dorsey have both been ruled out for Sunday's game against Baltimore.

Area residents suffering from the winter blues are invited to attend the Christian County Chamber of Commerce's annual International Festival this weekend.
Director of Christian County Cares 2015, Yasmine Ausenbaugh says kick-off festivities are planned for Friday at the James E. Bruce Convention Center.
Most school systems in Western Kentucky have missed somewhere close to 15 days due to winter weather this year and those districts are hoping the General Assembly will extend some type of forgiveness for at least some of those days.
First District State Senator Stan Humphries of Trigg County is the Vice Chair of the Education Committee and says he's well aware how hard it is to educate students when summer vacation would normally be underway.
Senator Humphries says he's been contacted by several people hoping a forgiveness bill in the House will pass both chambers and be signed by Governor Steve Beshear.
If no days are forgiven, every local public school system in the area will be in session well into the month of June.
A Madisonville woman has been charged with misusing money from a youth basketball league.
Kentucky State Police say 49-year old Mia Higens of Madisonville was the treasurer for the Hopkins County Central All-American Basketball Association and the bank account was under her exclusive control.
The investigation began earlier this year when KSP was contacted by the Hopkins County Attorney's Office about suspicious spending activity in the years of 2011, 2012, and 2013.
It was discovered that several improper expenditures were made, including the purchase of clothes, toys, gourmet food, diet pills and other items that would not be used in the operation of a non-profit, youth basketball league.
Higens was charged with misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking and lodged in the Hopkins County Jail.
Shots were fired on Amanda Drive in Hopkinsville early Wednesday morning after a resident caught a man stealing speakers from his vehicle.
Noble Skinner, Jr. of Hopkinsville told city police he saw the suspect in his front yard standing near the vehicle around 2:30. When Skinner approached him, the suspect fired multiple gunshots in the immediate vicinity of where Skinner was standing.
No one was injured and the two stolen car speakers were recovered. The perpetrator is described as an approximately 20-year old white male, standing about 6-3 and weighing about 170 pounds. He was wearing a dark hoodie with the hood over his head and a cap over his hood.
Hopkinsville Police are investigating after someone broke into a Durrett Avenue home and took property Wednesday.
The burglary happened sometime between 5:30 and 3:30, according to the report, which says the perpetrator used force to get inside 1427 Durrett Avenue. About $2,500 worth of property belonging to Demetrus Grinter of Hopkinsville was taken, including a flat screen television, a ring and six watches.
The report says it appeared the perpetrator may have entered through a bedroom window and no suspects are named.

If Hiddink is coming back it's a good move. Anyone else maybe not so much.
Sucks Blackpool went down instead of Wolves, Wigan or Blackburn. Hopefuly at least one of the promoted sides play attacking football to make up for their loss.
If Hiddink is coming back it's a good move. Anyone else maybe not so much.
Sucks Blackpool went down instead of Wolves, Wigan or Blackburn. Hopefuly at least one of the promoted sides play attacking football to make up for their loss.
Abramovich is a xxxx, teams don't win every season that is a fact, so to get rid of a guy who got them the double last season is terrible. But what makes it even more cretinous was that Abramovich got his hatchet man to do it minutes after the end of the match.
How does any owner expect a manager to work under the conditions that Abramovichh has placed on his team.
1. Ricardo Carvalho, Michael Ballack, Juliano Belletti leave and were not adequately replaced at the start of the season.
2. They fire Ray Wilkins as Ancelottis assistant and replace him with somebody Ancelotti did not want.
3. Abramovich plays fantasy football and buys players he likes and then expects the manager to shoe horn them in to the team.
And despite all this Ancelotti still had them in 2nd place.
I hate Chelsea and Abramovich as much as I hate Real and Perez.

Kun Agüero better not go to Madrid. That team is MAD!!!
Jesus, just realized how long it's been since I've been on these boards...
Was really happy to see Barca win the UEFA Title. As good as ManU is they were completely outclassed for almost the entire game. Wonder who we're going to target this offseason.
Messi and Xavi combo was killing the Manchester's defense
Hiddink is overrated as a manager in my book. His teams play an attractive style so he gets high marks but what has he really achieved at the club level? He won a European Cup a long long time ago with PSV and recently had a nice spell with them in the early 2000s. Getting them to the Semis of the Champions League is probably his biggest achievement as a club manager but at the top levels he has really done nothing. He had a nice little run with Chelsea when he took over but winning at PSV and for a few weeks with Chelsea is far different than the long grind of a season. Especially with a Chelsea team that is transition with a lot of it's core getting older plus having to integrate players like Torres.
I think Hiddink is an excellent tactician and a pretty good man manager evidenced by his success with the Dutch/Korean/Australian national teams but there's a big difference between preparing for a three week tournament and a season in the toughest league in soccer while juggling multiple cup competitions.
I would be interested to see how he handles managing a big club like Chelsea from day one. Like I said he has good qualities but he is overrated in that he has never really proven anything at the major club level yet.
Blackpool were very cavalier and would have liked them to stay up but their defense was so atrocious. Wigan play the game the right way so I'm fine with them staying up. Of all the teams in the relegation battle I think Birmingham deserved to go down since they were so bad down the stretch.

Macon's Mandatory Spay/Neuter Ordinance Approved
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) - Getting animals spayed and/or neutered is now mandatory in Macon city limits.
In a 8 -5 vote on Tuesday night, council members passed the ordinance, requiring cats and dogs under the age of 6 months be sterilized.
In the ordinance, it's written that first time violators will receive a warning and from there they could be fined up to $500.
Some of the controversy surrounding the council's decision included how the law will be enforced. At previous meetings, council member Henry Gibson openly opposed the ordinance stating that there are enough animal ordinances already in place. He was not at Tuesday's meeting.
Council member Nancy White, said there are several exemptions in the ordinance, including special breeders and certain recognized shelters.
"It's a people problem, not a pet problem," she said.

Ballot Act 1872
Long title | An Act to amend the Law relating to Procedure at Parliamentary and Municipal Elections. |
Chapter | 35 & 36 Vict. c. 33 |
Introduced by | William Ewart Gladstone |
Dates | |
Royal Assent | 18 July 1872 |
Other legislation | |
Related legislation | Representation of the People Act 1949 (UK); Electoral Act 1963 (RoI) |
Status: Repealed |
The Ballot Act 1872 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that introduced the requirement that parliamentary and local government elections in the United Kingdom be held by secret ballot.
Employers and land owners had been able to use their sway over employees and tenants to influence the vote, either by being present themselves or by sending representatives to check on the votes as they were being cast. Radicals, such as the Chartists had long campaigned for this system to end with the introduction of a secret ballot.
The Representation of the People Act 1867 (the Second Reform Act) enfranchised the skilled working class in borough constituencies, and it was felt that, due to their economic circumstances, these voters would be particularly susceptible to bribery, intimidation, or blackmail. The radical John Bright expressed concerns that tenants would face the threat of eviction were they to vote against the wishes of their landlord.
Many within the establishment had opposed the introduction of a secret ballot. They felt that pressure from patrons on tenants was legitimate and that a secret ballot was simply unmanly and cowardly. Lord Russell voiced his opposition to the creation of a culture of secrecy in elections which he believed should be public affairs. He saw it as 'an obvious prelude from household to universal suffrage'.
Election spending was, at the time, unlimited and many voters would take bribes from both sides. While the secret ballot might have had some effect in reducing corruption in British politics, the Corrupt and Illegal Practices Prevention Act 1883 formalised the position and is seen by many to have been the key legislation in the attempts to end electoral corruption.
Effect of the Act[edit]
The secret ballot mandated by the Act was first used on 15 August 1872 to re-elect Hugh Childers as MP for Pontefract in a ministerial by-election, following his appointment as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. The original ballot box, sealed in wax with a liquorice stamp, is held at Pontefract museum.[1]
The Ballot Act 1872 was of particular importance in Ireland, as it enabled tenants to vote against the landlord class in parliamentary elections. The principal result of the Act was seen in the General Election of 1880, which marked the end of a landlord interest in both Ireland and Great Britain.[2]

Along with a dozen floor-standing models, BMW had i3s driving a track that wound its way around the BMW floor space at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, serving to prove this electric car not only moves, but does it silently.
We previously saw the i3 when BMW unveiled the production car in July, but the Frankfurt auto show gave us the opportunity to take a closer look. Click here to read our first look for detailed specifications.

Don't wait…
Do Something
You get out what you put in
Do one more thing each day before you shut it down. There are approximately 260 working days per year. Do the math. Success is an acquired taste but one that you will come to enjoy if you will get in the habit of doing just a bit more each day.
It is by no means easy but nothing great ever is. Stay focused on creating an authentic experience and you too can differentiate yourself amongst all the other poor souls waiting for something to happen.
It is about progress not perfection!
"Advancement only comes with habitually doing more than you are asked"-Gary Ryan Blair
Are you a grinder?
I have been able to identify patterns of the times in my life that I have grown the most both personally and professionally. The majority of those times were a result of some kind of "setback"',' maybe even a series of them. I have come to appreciate those times more now than in years past for the lessons learned along the way. I have discovered that part of the "secret sauce" for well accomplished people is how they view failure. The "great ones" see failure as a learning experience not a defeat. Do yourself a favor and read that sentence again! Failure is a part of the success equation. If you are not failing then you are far too comfortable and are not taking any risks. Successful people are grinders! They will never be out-worked regardless of the weather, the competition or the economy.
Choose to lead by becoming a grinder.
Here's a simple process from Seth Godin to move to outstanding. How would you finish this phrase from the perspective of your audiences, clients, customers etc…
A simple fill in the blank for creating a remarkable service, partnership or experience:
"I was pleased that I got what I paid for, that the food was properly cooked, that they honored their contract, that the roller coaster worked, that there was no trash on the ground and that the staff looked me in the eye.
But what really blew me away was _____"
By definition, whatever goes in the blank is an extra, more than you had to do. But what you must do to be considered remarkable. (Remarkable is what we call something we remark on).
Let's try it.

It seems I have found the source of this. It is a script of a third party email to friend script. I will run a few more tests and then confirm it. Is it ok to post the name of the company doing this? As I feel everyone must be aware of this.

Welcome to Ruse
" ... All that I experienced afterwards had already been in Roustchouk " Elias Canetti
Ruse is the biggest Bulgarian port town on the bank of the river Danube. After the opening of the Rhein - Main - Danube canal which covers 3,500 km and connects thirteen European countries with the Near and Far East via the Black Sea, the river becomes the longest inland waterway on the planet.
This key position has determined the nineteen century long co-existence of town, river, and people, carrying the unique atmosphere of history as a precious heritage, and of future as an o pen road full of promises. The Romans were the first to build the fort which they called Sexaginta Prista (the port of sixty ships). Then came others, from Europe, leaving their indelible imprint in this intersection of material and spiritual culture, followed by the imbued with the zeal of drive and enterprise Bulgarians, who gradually turned the place into a centre of the Bulgarian national revival. The very name Ruse became a synonym of economic growth and cultural rebirth.
The nineteenth century saw here the opening of the first Bulgarian printing house, the first model farm, the first Bulgarian railroad connecting Ruse with Varna, the first Bulgarian weather service, the first technical school and technical society, the first professional teachers' club, the first insurance agency, the first chamber of commerce and industry, the first inland navigation service on the Danube, the first telephone, the first moving picture show, the first Bulgarian newspaper, the first map of geography.
New industries sprang up, banks and trade agencies were founded and European shipping agencies, as well as 17 foreign consulates were established. A large number of Bulgarian, Austrian, Italian, and Swiss men of art created the wealth of architectural forms and styles characteristic of the period in Europe: neoclassicism, neobaroque, neogothic style, art nouveau, and fin du siecle.
The town hosted a vast variety of multinational ethnic groups which the Nobel writer Ellias Canetty defined as a microcosmos of two dozen nationalities. French, German, Italian, Jewish, Armenian, Turkish, and other schools, boarding houses and churches, reading clubs, theatres and music halls, museums and bookshops, opened their doors to help diversify the cultural life of the city in its steady march towards enlightment. in this completed picture of social life, today the town is still rediscovering its true face, spanning a bridge across cultures in the new context of integrated Europe
The high bank at Ruse was very convenient for man in the 4-th millennium BC. As the tell was most typical of the prehistoric settlement, that found at the present sugar refinery, 13 metres high, 20 metres wide and 70 metres long, it enclosed stratigraphic evidence from three ages of prehistory: the Stone, Bronze and Copper Age. As Ruse district had early inhabitants and a very eventful history, it was a real Eldorado for archaeological expeditions whose successful work throughout the years has materialized in the Archaeological Museum that Karel and Herman Skorpil created. The famous treasure from Borovo is the most valuable exhibit.
Thracians of the tribe Getae settled in Ruse district in the 6-th century BC; it was not long before they felt the Roman expansion for the empire built up a military presence in the basin of the Lower Danube year after year. While Nero was the emperor the legions here were five; a century later Marcus Aurelius made them 12. The ancient station must have been established under Vespasianus (69-79). The Roman name of the city was Sexaginta Prista, the Port of the Sixty Ships. That name occurs on a Roman inscription of 100-101 and on the milestones from the period of the emperors Antonius Pius, Marcus Aurelius and Aurelianus. The stones marked where the main roads started from the fort - to Marcianopolis, Nove and Durostorum. Excavations have produced evidence that during Trajanus' campaign against the Dacians that was the main base of his warships. Sexaginta Prista was put on the Roman map of military routes Tabula Pointingeriana that Marcus Agrippa drew in the 1-st century. A copy of that map has been found in the Calmar Monastery in Southern Sweden. The geography of Claudius Ptolemy, an Alexandrian geographer who lived during the reign of Marcus Aurelius and who is mentioned in the Constantinopolitan "Historia Ecclesiastica", gives an extensive description of the city. Procopius of Caesarea has also recorded it. Prista is the name used in the Notitiae Tagniatum of the anonymous cosmographer from Ravenna. In the 6-th century Justinian solidly fortified it and the place became a key component of the Byzantine defence system which, however, surrendered to the barbarian waves. For centuries after the woeful shadow of destruction haunted the place and there was not a city.
The Bulgarian feudal state had an economy in kind and insignificant trade, so the settlement on the big river was almost derelict. The fort was in Cherven and the fortification was similar to that in Veliko Turnovo. It was the centre of the fortified areas in the basin of the Rusenski Lom where Skorpil counted 48 forts altogether. Evidently the city that was re-established on the site derived its present name from Cherven four "rous" is a synonym of "cherven" (red) which is an adjective in all Slavic languages and cognate to the Latin "rusos" and the French "rouge". The Turks who liked the city very much used a diminutive form, Roustchouk. After the conversion of Bulgaria to Christianity Cherven became the see of a bishopric and was in its heyday in the 14-th century; a watch tower, remains of a citadel, streets, 11 churches, cisterns and a tunnel to a karst spring have survived. Cherven was a famous centre of arms production and of brisk trade where many foreigners arrived, mainly from Dubrovnik. In the 13-th century king Ivan Asen granted many privileges to them and addressed them as beloved and faithful guests of the kingdom. It was one of the few traditions that the Turkish invaders adopted: many Turkish documents mention the Dubrovnik colony in the area; those people paved the way to the Catholic presence and had their own houses of prayer. The lovely Catholic church of St Paul built in 1892 to the design of the architect Valentino who is to be credited for the Catholic church in Varna as well was their successor. For the first time organ music was played in Bulgaria there; the instrument with 700 pipes was made in Germany. The church interior is impressive for the stained glass made in Budapest, the crystal chandeliers and the abundance of icons.
The valley of the river Rusenski Lom abounds in remarkable rock monasteries; over 300 premises of which 40 were used as rock churches have survived. There is plenty of evidence that they must have been at least twice that number. The ravages of time, ignorance and religious intolerance have abolished most of them. Yet what remains is enough to admit and it will be admitted that the rock cloister and the frescoes in it are unique. That is why they have been evaluated as an important stage in the development of European culture and recorded on the UNESCO List of World Cultural Heritage. The Ivanovo Monastery has seven churches; the oldest part is on the right bank, around the Buried Church; the premises are large, here and there 5 x 5 metres and their walls have been nicely tailored. The Laura, the core of the big monastery compound, was there. To the east are the cells around the Lord's Ravine; the Church is in a best state of preservation. The vault is not flat; it is semicylindrical, like that of the Bessarbovski Monastery. The Ivanovo churches contain some of the best frescoes of Bulgarian religious art. They are down-to-earth, vigorous and artistic, lending a human approach to the dogmas, employing means of expression that relate them to the new aesthetic and moral values of the coming European humanism. For the first time in its more recent history Ruse is mentioned in the 1502 peace treaty between the Turks and Hungarians. From the second half of the 16-th century onwards it started developing as an economic, military and strategic centre of primary importance. In 1580 Pavel Jorjic described Ruse at length; in 1640 the Franciscan friar Peter Baksic from the Bulgarian town of Chiprovtsi who was to become a Catholic bishop wrote that there were 3000 Orthodox houses, 200 Turkish houses and 200 houses of other nations. Again at that time Hadji Kalfa counted 6000 houses, a fort, a customs house and nine mosques.
Travellers like Carsten Nibur in 1767 and Nicholas Kleeman in 1768 mentioned the lovely view of the city and its commercial importance. Evliya Chelebi wrote thus: "There are 2200 one- and two-storey houses in the city. Real palaces amidst gardens are usually on the bank of the Danube. There are three Christian neighbourhoods, a primary school, three inns, a bath and 300 shops." Ruse was mentioned in the travel notes of the great friend of children, Hans Christian Andersen. The Ruse fort which was encircled by a moat that was 8 metres deep and 15 to 25 metres wide aroused everybody's admiration; the walls rose 10 metres over the river; there were five gates to come in and go out, each with a bridge and a cart waiting for each destination; the invincible Levent Tabia was the most significant of the fortifications on the hills around.
Under Mithad Pasha, one of the most illustrious names in Turkish national history, Ruse was in its heyday. In 1858 he visited Paris, London, Brussels and Vienna to see for himself the political, economic and cultural state of the European countries. Six years later he became the governor of the Tuna Vilayet, the Danube province and the largest province of the empire, comprising all North and West Bulgaria, with Toulcha, Varna, Ruse, Tarnovo, Vidin, Nish and Sofia. The period of the reform-minded man saw the construction of 3000 km of roads and 1140 bridges of which was the famous bridge of Kolyo Ficheto in Byala, a real miracle of construction, 300 metres long and 10 metres wide, on the major road of the province; the self-taught genius decorated the piers that were sharpened on the side facing the current with purely Bulgarian heraldic motifs: elves, double-headed eagles, lions and swans.
Communities were organized; measures were taken to promote trade and industries; land cultivation in the Obraztsov Chiflik estate became mechanized; new sweet-smelling vine grape varieties from Asia Minor were introduced. The strong resistance that his innovations met made him particularly inventive. To build straight and broad streets he caused several fires the worst of which was on July 29, 1868. The receipts from the fees for the fair in Turgovishte were used to establish a shipping company; the income from the maize grown on the common land was used to open a bank.
Mithad Pasha built two big European-style hotels: Royal Rose and House of Reform. Beside islahhane, the building that later was to be the Russian military club, the mayor's office and a pupils' boarding house, the home of Kaliopa Kalish who was rumoured to be the pasha's mistress has survived. Today it is the urban lifestyle museum which displays a rich collection of furniture, services and fashion in a lovely interior of a house that was lavishly decorated by the artist Karl Steinberger in 1883. And as the 150 lanterns that had been brought from Vienna were fewer than what was required in the pasha's opinion, he added a red lantern, the first brothel in the empire.
Mithad proclaimed Bulgarian as a co-official language and recognized that the law should make no discrimination between the Turks and non-Turks. Subtle as this assimilatory policy was and not entirely efficient because of oriental fanaticism and laziness, as a matter of fact it sought to denationalize the Bulgarian population who made up one twentieth of the Turkish empire but accounted for one third of Turkey's economic potential; the rest was generated in the 16 other districts that were far less developed.
In the long run the attempt was abortive and the rebellious Bulgarians in fact interrupted Mithad's Ruse career. Recalled after the energetic interference of the Russian ambassador count Ignatieff he had to say adieu to the city and returned only for a little while to organize the destruction of the heroic detachment of Hadji Dimiter and Stefan Karadzha. Afterwards his path was tortuous: he was the governor of Crete, Damascus and Smyrna, he was a grand vizier, he was an emigre, he was sentenced and pardoned and then in 1884 the sultan Abdul Hamid ordered that he was strangled and the severed head was shown to him to make sure that this time the agile actor failed to outplay him.
When the sultan Abdul Mejid visited Roustchouk each of the subjects could approach him with a petition. The Bulgarians did and so did the Turks. The sultan was angry: "Couldn't you think of something else but fountains? Is the Danube too little for you? Look at the Bulgarians; they want Bulgarian bishops and Bulgarian schools!"
The first Bulgarian monastery school was opened in 1820, the first secular school was opened in 1842.
It took two years to build the schoolhouse and the Ruse-born A. Hadjiroussev donated the first Bulgarian geographic map that he had published in Strasbourg. In 1850 there were ten schools in Ruse where 900 schoolboys and schoolgirls were taught by 11 school masters and six school mistresses.
The Bulgarian community was established in 1865; the Zora reading club was opened in 1866; the first Bulgarian printing press with a modern Keiser machine and 10,000 kilograms of Bulgarian and Turkish types was opened in 1866 again. The city became one of the busiest Revival centres of book printing; till 1870 alone 86 Bulgarian books were printed. The Lyra singing society was founded at about the same time; the choir was singing in Trinity Church which was the oldest and the largest in the city and which was built in 1632 and rebuilt in 1764. Outside it looked low and dug into the ground, to meet the Turkish canon but inside it was astonishing for the magnificent altar and excellent acoustic. The belfry was built in a later period for the Turks in Ruse did not allow to ring the bells to call the congregation so there were special people who struck the street pavement with iron-studded crooks. 1871 will be remembered for the first Ruse orchestra; the first performance of the play "Lost Stanka" was again in that year.
That same year saw a far more remarkable event: Angel Kunchev set up a secret revolutionary committee. The Tryavna-born man had enviable education by the then standards: first he graduated from the artillery school in Belgrade and then from the famous agricultural school in the Czech city of Tabor. He might have had a brilliant career as the manager of Obraztsov Chiflik. However, he chose a different life: be became the leader of organized revolutionary activity and on his way to Romania he was betrayed and committed suicide rather than surrender to the enemy alive at the port of Ruse. He was an honest, devoted and brave man, just like the Apostle of Freedom Vasil Levski who had signed his powers.
The tomb of 453 activists from Ruse who were involved in the national liberation struggles is in the Pantheon of the Revivalists, a cube with a gilted roof in the city centre. The monument is not to the liking of everyone but everyone pays homage to their lifework. Among all Granny Tonka Obretenova, the first woman who was a member of the organization, is the most striking personality. Intelligent and firm she dedicated all her nearest and dearest to the Liberation of Bulgaria: two of her sons perished in the struggle; her other two sons were sentenced to be convicts for life yet she never shed a tear and was always determined to put up the men, to give them food and cure and to guard them. It was she who unearthed the head of Stefan Karadzha who died on the gallows and saved it for the generations to come as a relic. Granny Tonka treated Zahari Stoyanov as a son before he became a son-in-law. That man's lifework was memorable for Bulgaria: he was a chairman of the National Assembly and an initiator and organizer of the Reunification in 1885. However he is mostly remembered as the author of the immortal "Notes on the Bulgarian Uprisings". Today two museums which are next door have brought these two together forever and familiarize in detail with the life and time of these eminent Bulgarians.
The Russian troops seized Ruse on February 8, 1878. The Turkish mayor had already fled taking with him the keys to the city and the banner. The treasurer Ahmed Hamdi tried to find someone to whom he could surrender the power and evidently he became a member of the municipal council afterwards. Everyone was waiting for the happy event but some were making preparations. Vasil Souradev, for example, overstocked his warehouse with thousands of hats and when the slaves gave vent to their jubilation first by throwing down the fezes, he simply had a good business.
The 1880 general census showed that with a population of 26,163 Ruse was the largest city of the Principality. The earliest city plan of the Russian military engineers Ozhio and Kopitkin was from the first days of freedom; it was redeveloped in 1895 by engineer Dovish and for almost two decades Edouard Winter was the city architect. The first telephone conversations were heard in 1895 when the old Sofia exchange was installed. Special tiles were brought from Bucharest for the curbstone; the main streets were paved with stones that were bought from France. The first car appeared in 1911; in the next 15 years the number increased to 14; the first electric bulbs were switched on in 1916; the buses arrived in 1925. Ruse was the most industrialized centre of Bulgaria with seven of the 20 factories. The raw materials were usually imported and sometimes they went to the extreme: for instance, the hat factories which were the largest in the country used even imported straw. Big investments were made in the food industry where a sugar refinery whose capital was 10 million Belgian francs whose fleet of barges and tug boats was larger than that of the state was the key enterprise. The refinery had its own quay and rope line and provided employment to 1700 workers. However it was they who dominated; more than 20 per cent of the active population were in trade.

John Davis Envisions Re-establishing Wildlife Corridors Across North America – March 5, 2013
Environmentalist embarks on 5,000-mile trek across the West to highlight the importance of habitat connectivity
John Davis is no stranger to long journeys. In 2011 he traveled by bike, boat, and foot from Southern Florida to the Canadian Maritimes to promote the creation of an eastern wildway — a continental scale conservation effort that would connect large protected habitats and allow for the reintroduction and movement of top predators like wolves and cougars. A vision of immense importance it is also one that can seem nearly impossible to enact. How does one even begin to create a wildway in close proximity to some of the most densely populated areas in North America? What about the thousands of miles of roads that act as lethal barriers to… more

New Book Examines the Future of Fracking – May 18, 2012
In Review: Under the Surface, by Tom Wilber
In 2004, Range Resources, a Texas-based oil and gas company, drilled its first exploratory wells in the Marcellus Shale, a vast geologic formation that stretches from the southern tier of New York State, through much of Pennsylvania, and into West Virginia and Ohio. The results were positive and the company kept quiet about its findings as it bought up mineral rights throughout the play. By 2008, just as the significance of the Marcellus was coming into public view, Range Resources had acquired drilling rights on more than 900,000 acres. Since then, the company has drilled more than 600 wells in the Marcellus Shale. In 2011 the company directed 86 percent of… more

Pressure Mounts on Khimki Developers – April 20, 2011
Russian activists have held off construction of a major highway through an old growth forest outside of Moscow much longer than most would have imagined. What began as a seemingly provincial standoff between an embattled newspaper editor and journalist – Mikhail Beketov – and the Khimki political elite has turned into a much larger struggle. (Beketov nearly paid with his life, however, his fingers smashed and his skull crushed. He remains brain dead and confined to a wheelchair.) Indeed a campaign to save a forest, ostensibly an environmental movement, has suddenly become the new face of Russian civil society. Of course this has raised the stakes. And with the construction… more

Use of Diesel Fuel in Fracking Violates Safe Drinking Water Act – February 1, 2011
The 2005 Bush-Cheney Energy Policy Act famously exempted hydraulic fracturing from the Safe Drinking Water Act. But it made one small exception: diesel fuel. The Policy Act states that the term "underground injection," as it relates to the Safe Drinking Water Act, "excludes the underground injection of fluids or propping agents (other than diesel) pursuant to hydraulic fracturing operations related to oil, gas, or geothermal production activities [italics added]." But a congressional investigation has found that oil and gas service companies used tens of millions of gallons of diesel fuel in fracking operations between 2005 and 2009, thus violating the Safe Drinking Water Act. Hydraulic fracturing… more
by: Adam Federman (0) Comments A decision to halt the construction of a highway that would cut through Moscow's Khimki forest earlier this year has been overturned. Russia's Deputy Prime Minister, Sergei Ivanov, announced last week that the development would go ahead as planned, adding that, "additional ecological measures will be taken." The issue had become a cause celebre and culminated in an unusually large rally and concert in Moscow in September. Even Bono got in on the act. It was then that President Dmitry Medvedev seemed willing to bend, calling for a public review of the project and raising the possibility that the highway would be redirected.
