If you ever want to explain to the layperson how damaging patent trolls are, point them to this episode of This American Life.
It's patently ridiculous...
(Note: Although it says Part Two, it's really the whole thing - they include Part One into this episode).
While you have a point, I'll make a counterpoint:
First, a lot of mathematics majors get a poor mathematics education when teachers teach to the demographics in these classes (which is mostly non-math majors). As a result, a number of mathematics professors have gotten irritated and they'll insist that their courses exist to serve the mathematics students, no matter how few, and if the engineers want something more applied and tied to reality, then the engineering department needs to step up and offer a course rather than leach off the math department at the expense of their students. Of course, department politics and funding come into play which is why they end up having to teach non-math majors.
You may be collateral damage in their battle, but as someone who's been on both the EE and the math side, I think they have a very valid point: Catering to outsiders is hurting their own math program (which ultimately affects the rankings of the math department, although most usually are not driven by that).
Second, if you plan to go to grad school, for many disciplines in EE and CS, you'll likely need all the theoretical stuff that linear algebra professor was trying to teach, and many grad schools will expect you to know it. In my experience, those who know that material coming in will ususally excel. Many EE/CS departments will try to teach the same material as part of some other course that may need it, but the students often don't learn it as well as if they had taken it from a proper math course.
And that's the other battle: Undergrad vs Grad school. In EE/CS, most undergrads do not plan on going to grad school, but the grad school folks are understandably upset that incoming students are ill prepared (which affects their rankings, and more importantly, the university's research). This being academia, the grad school advocates have more say then you'd perhaps like.
I second notmuch. You don't have to use it as your mail reader - you can just use it for indexing and queries. It has Python bindings which makes it really nice. It can search by all the criteria listed except perhaps attachments (it does tag messages with attachments, but I'm not sure what types of searches the submitter wants to do with them). Date based searching is possible, but the syntax is a pain - a nicer way to specify dates has been on their TODO list forever.
At the moment it doesn't support mbox, and all my mail had been in that format. It was a pain to convert everything to maildir or a similar format it supported, but it was only a one time pain...
The Ipython notebook, although not an original idea (I think they were inspired by the Sage notebook), is just fantastic. I do a fair amount of exploratory analysis and it's so much better doing it in a notebook than in a standalone script - I get to see all the plots, and document as I go along. Most importantly, it lets me experiment with commands as one would in a regular interpreter shell, but without the clutter of all my faulty commands.
If anyone wants to help open source, I would strongly recommend helping improve ipython, scipy or matplotlib. Fernando Perez pointed out in a recent conference that while on the surface these all seem like excellent, well polished projects, if one looks at the committers, they'll find most commits are being done by 2-3 people (for each project). It's not healthy for it to depend on so few people. As a case in point, the main committer for matlplotlib passed away recently and everyone's nervous about its future.
I've never come across a news site that allowed "open" comments not become dominated by their inaneness.
Why do news sites allow them? I suppose there may be a connection between allowing them and traffic (I really don't know) - but I see highly serious, respectable local news outlets that already have a strong base suddenly decide "Hey, everyone's doing it, why not us?"
In ye old days we had "Letters to the Editor". Open comments are not a viable replacement. The former were heavily moderated.
Since we're on the topic, does anyone know a good RSS reader that I can install on my own web server?
I currently use Gregarius but the project is no longer under development.
I don't want a desktop based one as I need to ensure it checks the feeds whether my computer is on or not. Also, there's nothing more convenient than simply clicking links within a browser.
The mere fact that they issued 3 times as many tickets as there are people in the town is an indication that something is wrong here
Not really. Most of the vehicles were likely people from out of town. 18,000 vehicles go through it every day - it's in between two highly populated areas.
And the docs for Python in Open Office are...
Oh right - there aren't any docs.
Good for them if they're comfortable with their sexuality, but "gimp" is derogatory slang for a disabled person.
And the more people use GIMP, the less derogatory the word will appear.
It's almost as if people here want to preserve a biogted, derogatory word.
The posting is NOT a "scathing rant", it's a pretty clear, calm and well-reasoned explanation as to issues that the author sees with GNU and GNU software development. There's no flamebait, no ranting, no name-calling.
1. It is scathing.
2. The person who wrote it describes it as a rant (see the subject line).
You want to start working freelance and you don't want to publicize how people can reach you? I'd expect a decent head shot, a phone number, a short bio and an email address.
Pretty much this.
If you were to open your FB and other social network accounts with business ONLY information, and keep your personal information (name, image, etc) off the Facebook account...will this keep your personal privacy still from them
This is silly, and I don't mean in the Internet era, but in any era. Go back to ye old pre-Internet days. Would you expect to be able to place an ad in a newspaper but refuse to give them your name, phone number, address and credit card information?
I was just trying to say that if one objects to universities' restrictions on free speech, they'll find that the legal and ethical issues differ when considering public vs. private secular vs. religiously affiliated universities.
For some, yes, they'd make a distinction. The WSJ article didn't, and nor does FIRE.
Somewhere like Liberty has goals, and a legal status, very different than those of a state university.
The database contains both public and private universities.

Inspired by the efficient Hoosier-style cabinets found in farm kitchens a century ago, our exclusive, American-made Conestoga Cupboard is handcrafted with handy shelves for staples and kitchen supplies instead of a flour sifter and grain bins.
Pull-out serving shelf, dry sink top, and glass door cabinets to display your favorite crockery recreate the old-time charm, as do dovetailed drawers and a hand-rubbed finish. All cupboards have embossed pewter knobs.

A beautiful, functional, piece.
Comments about Product:
The cabinet is a great size and the storage provided is highly useful. The dry sink on top is great, especially with little hands around, as the lip prevents things from bring pulled down from the upper work surface. The pull out work surface is great also. The distressing is not overdone and it really compliments the Bay color we selected for the unit in a room with honey oak floors, lots of light, and autumnal orange walls, with navy window treatments and accents with a bright white ceiling and classic white trim.
First time reviewer
Nice piece of dining room furniture
Comments about Product:
This cupboard is exactly what we needed in our dining room - a beautiful piece with the storage space we needed in our colonial New England house. The stain smell is a bit strong when the cupboard was delivered, but we hope that the smell will air out with open windows and with time.
Busy Momma
Great quality and beautiful!
Comments about Product:
We are using the cabinet in our family room to store toys and games. Lots of different cabinet areas, drawers, etc. are great for keeping everything organized. Tons of storage! The red color looks beautiful in our home. It's a beautiful, rich cranberry red color.

I love it!!!
Comments about Product:
I finally received this cabinet afer 11 weeks of waiting but it was well worth the wait. I absolutely love it. It is exactly what I wanted. It is gorgeous and has lots of storage. I had to tighten some of the hardware on the doors and dust it off but it appears to be made very well. There is a slight odor of the finish but not as bad as I had expected from the reviews. I think the paint smells less the stain. I would highly recommend this product but be prepared to wait. I had to prod to get it delivered and it took exactly 11 weeks to the day from when I ordered it. I will enjoy it for years to come.
EXACTLY what I wanted!
Comments about Product:
This well-made and beautifully painted cabinet has transformed my smallish kitchen with poor storage into a comfortable, well-organized, and much more attractive space. Now, I have a place for everything and everything is easily accessible. I ordered the white distressed version, and I love the look. There was a slight smell, but nothing more than is to be expected in a newly manufactured piece, and it faded quickly. The cabinet seems very sturdy and well made. The closest I can come to a complaint is that the knobs seem very lightweight. However, if they ever get bent or broken, I can easily replace them. Everything else is wonderful.
Great substitute for kitchen cabinets
Comments about Product:
I bought this cabinet in 2002 for a kitchen renovation at a lakefront home. I had a very limited budget and opted for this piece in lieu of cabinets in the same area. It is beautiful---looks so much better than ordinary cabinets would have, and it adds that country flair to our log home. Virtually all of our guests have commented on it. I chose to use it primarily as a baking center--I store all my baking utensils and supplies in the myriad of draws and cupboards. When I bake a pie, I use the pull-out drawer to roll the dough. And my decorative glasses and dishes look great behind the glass doors. Several years later, we bought a house with a dated and small kitchen with little storage space and the former owners left this exact cupboard for us to use. Again, I put it to great use, and it looked beautiful in the kitchen. We subsequently sold that house and the cabinet went to a friend with an antique farmhouse in Michigan. She also raves about how it looks, and a potential buyer to her property loves it too. I did not have the problem with the odor that many reviewers have mentioned; maybe this problem surfaced after I had bought mine. My only complaint is that the pull out work surface often sticks and I have to jiggle it to get it to slide back in. I have found this very annoying, especially when I am in a hurry (which is most of the time). We are thinking of renovating our kitchen at our year-round home, and I am thinking of incorporating one of these cupboards in that design. I don't ever want to be without one.
Love my Cupboard
Comments about Product:
I love my cupboard. I saw it in a store first, so I knew exactly what I was getting. We use it in a casual dining room and it stores much more than I even imagined! I love all of the different drawers and compartments. As other people stated, it did smell when we first received it, but that faded within a few days. It also did take much longer to receive the item than we were told, but when it arrived, it was in great condition and I am quite pleased!
Still love it after all these years!
Comments about Product:
I bought this cupboard several years ago and STILL LOVE IT. It is very roomy and I like the array of compartments. It is so attractive; got loads of compliments. Very versatile for entertaining.
Still love it
Comments about Product:
I bought this over 5 years ago and I can honestly say it is my favorite piece of furniture. It holds so much I don't know what I did without it. It is attractive and the construction is top of the line.The stain has held up as well as the interior. Worth every penny I paid for it
Nevada Blues
Sad to Say.....
Comments about Product:
I so wanted this item. Read all the reviews before ordering and was aware of the noted "short falls" I waited multiple months for delivery and was really sad when it arrived and the quality of the workmanship was quite poor; glass doors had large gap, paint surface was very gritty, as if painted over sand. There was a huge paint "ripple" at eye level where the paint had not been allowed to fully dry but something pushed the surface. I didn't accept the unit and immediately reordered thinking I had just gotten a lemon. After a few more months the second one arrived and again I had high hopes. Same issue with the surface texture being gritty and on the second unit a doorknob was missing. This unit too was returned. In general, the unit is smaller than it looks in the catalog. I'm a loyal "Plow" fan and will continue to buy from them but not this item for that price.
Beautiful, timeless, stinky for 5 weeks!
Comments about Product:
I have always been attracted to the Hoosier cabinets of the early 20th century and wanted something similar for my 1922 Crafstman Bungalow. However, the Hoosier cabinets I found in local antique/junk stores were flimsy! Made out of cheap pine that doesn't age well, I wasn't convinced it would be worth putting in the time and resources to refinish an old one. By the time I figured about $1,000 for an antique, plus all the time, money, and effort of a DIY refurbishing job, I clearly justified the cost of this beautiful piece from Plow and Hearth. I ordered the Chestnut finish. It is stained inside and out, and is a lovely rich color. It is a substantial piece of furniture - a beautiful focal point for my small bungalow's dining room - but doesn't overwhelm the space at all. My *only* complaint is one that has been voiced here in past reviews: the stain used on the furniture smells horrendous, and continues to off-gas WEEKS after delivery. I would be willing to extend my delivery time to allow for off-gassing to take place at the manufacturer, rather than in my living room. It wouldn't have been so bad if I could have kept my windows open and really aired out the house. But it arrived in a very snowy week of January and we weren't in the window opening mood. What helped with the stain stench was to rub down every square inch of it with dusting spray (I use the almond-scented spray from method) about twice a day for the first week. Even 5 months out, there is still a faint odor when we open the cupboards. It would be really thoughtful if P&H would find a way to reduce the fumes - either with a different staining product or by holding off on delivery until the worst of it has past. It was really offensive. All that said, I would totally purchase this again and highly recommend it to anyone who is interested. I am so pleased with it!

Update to my 2/14 review
Comments about Product:
I was initially thrilled with my cabinet (see my 2/14 review)HOWEVER, the smell I mentioned in that review has yet to go away!! 6 weeks later!!! I have opened it up with a fan blowing on it, wiped it down (3 Xs now) with apple cider vinegar - per company's suggestion.A Plow and Hearth representative told me "that this happens occasionally with furniture they sell and it will fade eventually." Well, frankly that Bites! Until that chemical smell (so strong it will make your eyes water if you lean into the cupboard)goes away I cannot use it to store any food goods.Many of which will be heavily tainted by the smell.Let alone I need to keep my windows open as much as I can!I did not find the company to be very helpful or sorry.I won't ever buy furniture from them again...thats for sure!
Cottage lady Mic
Just received cupboard - Lovely
Comments about Product:
This is a beautiful, quality piece of furniture. I have coveted this for several years and am so happy to finally have it. This cupboard has made our small kitchen so much more user friendly. The one and only complaint I have is that it smells of the stain finish horribly! Hoping that it fades real fast!! It took 6 weeks from the order date to receive. Which was what the company said it would take.And it arrived in great condition.Would give 4.5 stars with just .5 off for smell.
Love it, love it, love it,,xoxoxoxo
Comments about Product:
Its beautiful,, I purchased the black Lg. one because we have wood floors and I wanted some contrast in the dining room,, it was everything I hoped it would be,, I recieve lots of compliments on how pretty it is,,

Comments about Product:
I used this in a farmhouse kitchen. Great functionality and style!
Perfect piece
Comments about Product:
I worried the piece would be a bit too large for my kitchen, but it was perfect. I love the look of the bay distressed color. A nice country chic look. Perfect amount of extra storage space which is what I was looking for with a nice mix of decorative touch.
Country Kitchen Gal
Beautiful piece of furniture
Comments about Product:
This is a beautiful piece of furniture and goes well in my "country kitchen." One thing we didn't like on the cupboard was the natural finish to the inside back of the hutch. We immediately painted it black to match the rest of the cupboard. This also allowed for items displayed behind the glass to stand out more. It turned out beautiful. [...]
Brings warmth and nostalgia.
Comments about Product:
I have been wanting this for some time. I found no other merchant that could match this piece for quality, appearance, and price. I have absolutely no complaint
I would recommend this product to friend
Comments about Product:
We will use this as a secondary piece in our dining room with a buffet. We love the rustic appearance and love the metal hardware.
Old world charm Love it!
Comments about Product:
[...]Thanks for an excellent product, great experience.
The Shamrock & Thistle
Great Buy!
Comments about Product:
We use the large cupboard in our modular home that doesn't have a dining room. We love the storage. It's much more than we expected. The piece has a great bread drawer that we love and use. The description says "Large," but we did our measuring and were worried, but the "Large" cupboard fits perectly in our space. There is nothing negative about this piece of furniture. We love it. We had also asked for the wood samples which were sent without delay. We got the bayleaf color which we were afraid wouldn't match the seafoam color of the country kitchen table we had purchase from another company. It was a perfect match.... We are so happy with our purchase. We love Plow and Hearth! e
A lovely piece
Comments about Product:
The chestnut stain is much more red than brown, as indicated in the picture. [...]

Finally! A Handsome Way to Store Dishes!
Comments about Product:
Needed storage for four sets of dinner ware. This cupboard holds two sets with glass ware, and big serving pieces. Has small drawers, too. Good for flat ware, trivets, odd flat pieces. Pull out shelf needs some extra support; no stops at back,need to be careful when pulling out. Very nice looking; the Chestnut stain matches my bar cabinet to a tee.
Beautiful Cupboard
Comments about Product:
[...] I am glad I got the swatches before I bought the cupboard. The antique red is beautiful and the cupboard becomes the focal point. It is a great way to display potteries, baskets and kitchen collectibles. The storage at the bottom is very roomy. Friends and family love it too!
Great product!
Comments about Product:
Great product with much more space than we thought! Love the pull out drawer, wish it had a stop on it though to be sure it doesn't come all the way out?

The investigation into the attempted Times Square car bombing continues, as authorities try to figure out how the attack was financed.
A law enforcement official tells The Associated Press investigators have the name of someone believed to have funneled cash to Faisal Shazad.
Investigators believe Shahzad paid for the SUV used in Saturday's incident with 13 $100 bills, had been renting a Connecticut home, and managed to buy a gun, even though he was apparently unemployed since returning from Pakistan in February.
Despite the fact that investigators are looking abroad, the man who oversees the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan says he believes the suspect acted alone.
In an interview with the Associated Press, General David Petraeus calls Shahzad a "lone wolf." He says he was inspired by Pakistani militants, but did not have direct contact with them.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly would not say much about the general's comments when asked today.
"I'm satisfied in this case, in this instance, that there is no longer a threat based on this individual and people surrounding him," Kelly said.
Authorities have said Shahzad told investigators he went to a terror training camp in Pakistan, but that has not been confirmed.
After initially claiming responsibility, members of the Pakistani Taliban said yesterday they had nothing to do with the bomb attempt, but added such attacks are welcome and said Shahzad did a brave job.
Meanwhile, surveillance video has been released that appears to show the 30-year-old buying fireworks used in the attempt from a store in eastern Pennsylvania.
Watch the complete surveillance footage.
Attorney General Eric Holder told a Senate panel yesterday Shahzad is still cooperating with investigators.
Shahzad is still awaiting arraignment on terrorism and weapons charges.

Staff Leaders
The Alternative Break Immersion (ABI) program provides participants local, national and international opportunities to expand learning beyond the classroom in the context of direct service and action. Each ABI involves a combination of service and cultural immersion in a host community along with awareness raising around issues of social concern in those communities.
The experience of participating in the ABI program is framed according to four primary goals and guiding principles—that we will be living simply, deepening faith, building community and doing justice while sharing work and gaining new awareness from our interactions with diverse communities and one another.
Staff leaders will work in conjunction with a student leader to plan elements of the trip, lead pre-trip meetings and facilitate the trip itself. ABI leaders will attend six formational meetings over the course of the year. Staff leaders are also invited to, but not required to attend the ABI leaders retreat on Oct 12–13.
Come to an info session! Bring your lunch and we'll bring dessert!
September 5 at 12 p.m. at the 4th floor of the Information Commons on Lake Shore Campus
September 9 at 12 p.m. at Corboy 204 on Water Tower Campus

Great way to get to the stadium. Nice staff, very helpful!
I liked the fact that it was very convenient at a good price, but I did have to leave at halftime and there was no shuttle to pick us up! I ended up having to call a cab from the pick up point back to my parking space where I saw a shuttle just sitting there. I am suprised that shuttles are not running throughout the game for those who may have to leave due to an emergency of some sort. So overall, it was ok but ended up costing me a little over double due to cab fare.
Very friendly, convenient and reasonably priced.
price and attendants were excellent
Not bad for the price. Shuttle is included. Beats $45 at Cowboys stadium.
Very courteous & efficient staff.
This is a "easy in and easy out" large, well illuminated, secure lot far enough from the traffic around Ball Park & Cowboys Stadium, with easy access to HWY360, I20, I30, HWY 161. Straight shot walking distance to Ballpark.
Managed by Caldwell Safety Parking. This location is a business.

Truth #9: Taxpayer Dollars to Help Developing Countries "Adapt" to Climate Change
What the bill does: Requires the Secretary of State, in consultation with USAID, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Environmental Protection Agency, to establish an International Climate Change Adaptation Program. This new program will support the development and implementation of climate change "adaptation" activities that reduce the vulnerability of developing countries to the impact of climate change. (H.R. 2454, American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, Sec. 491, p. 1365.)
What this means for Americans: As American families face increased power bills and fuel prices, the Democrats will send taxpayer money oversees to help developing countries address climate change. Projects that could be eligible for taxpayer assistance include replacing 2,000 traffic lights in South Africa with "green" light bulbs and teaching Brazilians to dry seaweed with solar dryers.
The best way to help American families and poverty-stricken countries is to oppose the national energy tax and pass the Republican "all of the above" energy solution to create jobs and reduce production costs so manufacturers can export products at reduced prices.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick LeahyMarch 6, 2002
Chairman Kohl and Senator DeWine, once again you have been a great credit to this committee and the Senate and offered a superb service to the public in the way you have worked together to help organize this hearing. Senator Hatch and I addressed those goals in March 1998 when we introduced and later won the committee's approval of a bill to allow local-into-local television via satellite. I worked with Senator Burns and with Republican Leader Lott and many others to enact a program to provide a federal loan guarantees on up to $1.25 billion in loans to finance the delivery of local-into-local television, and high-speed Internet access, to Rural America. That was in 1999 and 2000. I have also worked with others to help companies which offered promising approaches to providing local-into-local TV service -- companies that include EchoStar, Capitol Broadcasting of North Carolina, and Northpoint, which hopes to offer such service using terrestrial antennas. I worked on a provision, which is now law, directing the FCC to give Northpoint an opportunity to demonstrate the viability of that technology. As a conferee on the Farm Bill I am now working to include mandatory funding to cover any federal risks in implementing that federal loan guarantee program. I strongly believe in and have worked for both rural access to full satellite service and for robust competition to improve rates and service in the cable and satellite industries. I have congratulated Charlie Ergen for his role in the industry, telling the Senate: "I want to point out that the leaders of the satellite industry - such as Charlie Ergen of EchoStar who is known for his creative and innovative ideas - want to provide this local [TV] service." Now EchoStar and DirecTV have a plan on the table, and satellites in orbit, to cover all 210 markets with local TV and broadband access. The crucial question is this: If not this proposal to bring full satellite service to rural areas and to help bridge the digital divide, then what? Rural America cannot accept "no service," or "maybe some possible service in 10 years," as the answer. If you look at the market for rural local-into-local television, or rural high-speed Internet access, in much of rural America there is no service - neither cable, nor satellite, offers it. In much of Vermont and in many other states, rural residents have no opportunity to receive local TV stations or high-speed broadband access. Charlie Ergen calls this a "no-opoly" - and he is right. Just as with rural electric service, or rural telephone service, someone has to be first. Competition requires competitors. It is easy for me to make this point about being first, because I remember when Vermont families first received electric service, and first received telephone service. People would walk through their homes and turn the light switches on and off, just for the fun of it. A solution to local electric and telephone monopolies back then was to foster more competition. That is why I hope all senators will join in supporting full funding for the loan guarantee program for local-into-local television service which could be offered by competitors of EchoStar and DirecTV - which is a provision in the Farm Bill that soon will be back before the Senate. In addition, as Gene Kimmelman will point out, we should support efforts, as I have done over the last three years, to permit other companies such as NorthPoint to compete with EchoStar and DirecTV. From another standpoint, if you look an urban markets, the merged company could effectively compete, as he points out, with local cable monopolies. I know that some argue that EchoStar has the capacity to offer local-into-local TV to all the market areas today, without the merger with DirecTV. Indeed, I have done everything possible to promote local-into-local television since 1997 - including work on two major bills with Senator Hatch and one with Senator Burns, which are now law. But Congress normally does not try to mandate what risks and investments that companies should make. I admit that Congress has created an entire system that rewards a willingness to take risks and to be creative, and to be first. If a company invents a new computer innovation, and patents that invention, our society rewards the developer for being first. When local-into-local service TV service and Internet access come to all rural markets, they will be a boon to Rural America and they likely will encourage competition. That is a crucial goal and a key test in evaluating this merger. # # # # # |

The Holiday Trees
Dec 28, 2012 08:09 AM »
Yay or Nay ?
From FB:
Apparently the White House referred to Christmas Trees as Holiday Trees for the first time this year, which prompted CBS presenter, Ben Stein, to present this piece which I would like to share with you.
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary.
My confession:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejewelled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are, Christmas trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a nativity scene, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.
I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from, that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.
Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.
In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Hurricane Katrina). Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives.And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'
In light of recent events... terrorist attacks, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave, because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said okay.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible (Quran?) says.
Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord (Almighty), people think twice about sharing.
Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing yet?
Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.
Pass it on if you think it has merit.
If not, then just discard it.... no one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what a bad shape the world is in.
My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,
Ben Stein
The knight doesn't wait when he's ill or has cancer brother, the knight fights on... He finds a strategy, changes tactics, and
hits hard

Day 1
The group flights depart London this evening.
Day 2
The group flights arrive at Kansai Airport this evening, and we will be met on arrival and transferred to Kyoto.
Day 3
With about 2000 temples, shrines and gardens, Kyoto is a treasure house of Japan's cultural heritage and remains undoubtedly one of the most fascinating cities in Asia. Unlike many other Japanese cities it escaped the ravages of both the Second World War and modern urban development, thereby keeping intact much of the spirit and architecture of traditional Japan. Today we have the chance to explore this extraordinary city, perhaps visiting the impressive Imperial Palace grounds on a guided tour, or the famous Golden Temple of Kinkakuji, built in 1397 as a summer villa for the shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga and immortalised in Mishima Yukio's novel, 'The Golden Pavilion'. There will be time in the afternoon/evening for further sightseeing including a tour of Gion, Kyoto's entertainment area, for Geisha-spotting, or resting back at the hotel.
Day 4
We speed our way, by train, out of Kyoto to Nagoya. From Nagoya we transfer by local train/bus to Nagiso and on to Tsumago. Tsumago is situated on the Nakasendo (Central Mountain) Way, and is the best preserved of the many staging posts. This route was used during the Edo period - 1603-1868 - as a main trading route through the mountainous inland area, between the main centres of Edo (now Tokyo) and Kyoto. Today it is not possible to walk the whole route, but some sections have been conserved. We will trek a short 5-mile stretch from the village of Magome, down the Kiso Valley, back to Tsumago.
Day 5
Using the highly efficient Japanese transport system we transfer by road and rail to picturesque Kamikochi, via the city of Matsumoto. Kamikochi (1500m) lies in the Chubu Sangaku National Park, and is an excellent base for explorations into the North Japanese Alps. We set out for the Yarisawa mountain hut, a gentle afternoon walk (about 4 hours in duration) starting along the valley floor, through pine and birch forest, before crossing the river and climbing the Yarisawa valley at which point the trail becomes steeper and rougher. Through the forest we may be lucky enough to glimpse a sight of some of the resident Japanese macaques. For those not wanting or unable to partake in the Yarigatake Trek, your leader can help organise accommodation in a river lodge or in Matsumoto (at extra expense). The Yarigatake Trek should only be attempted by those in good shape, with strong legs and knees.
Day 6
Continuing up the increasingly steep and rocky Yarisawa Valley we ascend to the Yarigatake mountain hut, before the final pull up onto the summit of the Japanese Matterhorn - Mt. Yarigatake (Japan's fifth highest peak - 3180m). Although this is not technical, there are sections where you will need to scramble over boulders and rocks and there are snowfields that we may need to cross. The short final leg up to the summit is a very steep and challenging scramble using chains and ladders with some exposure to a steep drop - this last stretch is entirely optional and we only recommend experienced scramblers attempt it. This is a popular spot for local hikers with (on a clear day) spectacular views, including Mt Fuji to the southeast. About 6-8 hours challenging hiking.
Day 7
We begin the long and steep descent from Yarigatake mountain hut, back down to Kamikochi (about 8-10 hours hiking), hopefully with time to soak the muscles in a relaxing outdoor hot spring bath (rotemburo). This early morning descent can be cold and begins very steep over broken ground. From Kamikochi we transfer to Matsumoto.
Day 8
In the morning there is an opportunity, for those who wish, to visit the impressive Matsumoto Castle (optional). Founded in 1504, this castle, otherwise known as 'Crow Castle' due to its black colour, is one of the two best preserved in Japan, most others having been destroyed following the Meiji Restoration. Its imposing six story donjon has been designated a national treasure. Moving on from Matsumoto we transfer to the town of Fujiyoshida, situated near Lake Kawaguchi, one of the five lakes of Mt Fuji. Mt Fuji (or Fuji-san) is Japan's highest peak at 3776m and attracts people from all over Japan and the world, to climb it. Its near perfect volcanic cone has been celebrated by artists and photographers alike over many centuries, with perhaps the most famous representations coming in the form of Katsushika Hokusai's 'Thirty Six views of Mount Fuji'. Although not a tourist town, Fujiyoshida provides a great stopping off point for climbs of Mt Fuji, and gives those on a short visit to Japan a great insight into Japanese tourist culture.
Day 9
We transfer by road to Station Five (Go-gome), from where we start our trek, on a well-marked track up to Station Eight (Hachi-gome). The walk takes about 4-5 hours, but is hard work as you cross steep volcanic scree and cinder that shifts underfoot as you ascend.
Day 10
An early morning start, as we set off before sunrise, for the summit of Mt Fuji. It is only in the last hundred years that people have been regularly climbing Mt Fuji; previously the mountain was considered so sacred that only pilgrims and priests were allowed to climb. The summit is not a single point, but a circular crater rim, and in 'traditional' Japanese style the top features a shrine, weather station, post office, and 24hr noodle bar! After experiencing sunrise, we descend back down to our hotel in Fujiyoshida.
Day 11
A free day to explore and relax around the beautiful Fuji Five Lakes area. It is possible to visit Lake Sai, perhaps the quietest and least visited of the Five Lakes, or to take a short trip to Tenjo-zan where you often get a fabulous view of Lake Kawaguchi with Mt Fuji behind. For those who want to experience something of the modern and adrenalin-filled side of Japanese life, a day spent on the rollercoasters of the Fuji-Q Highland theme park is recommended!
Day 12
No visit to Japan would be complete without a trip to Tokyo. From Fujiyoshida we travel by bus, arriving around lunchtime in the capital. Situated on the banks of the Sumida River, by Tokyo Bay, Tokyo grew up out of the fishing village of Edo, becoming the centre of power in 1590. This afternoon is free to explore.
Day 13
Today we have a free day to explore the delights of Tokyo. Making use of the city's highly efficient tube system it is possible to visit the early morning fish market in Tsukiji and Asakusa's lively temple of Senso-ji. The possibilities for evening entertainment are almost limitless with Tokyo's nightlife as exciting as anywhere in Asia.
Day 14
The group flights from Tokyo depart this morning, arriving in London this evening.

The Latest Version of the Rotax 900 Series Shows Immense Promise
Nearly a year ago, one of the worst kept secrets in sport aviation finally went public. A new variant of the much used (and abused) Rotax 912 was announced... this one, fuel injected. According to Rotax sources, the Rotax 912 iS engine will deliver 38% to 70% better fuel efficiency than comparable competitive engines in the light sport, ultra-light aircraft and the general aviation industry.

Early Big 12/SEC power rankings for 2013
To me, it looks as if we have four legitimate contenders for the conference title and three possible dark horses. We'll see how the latter three develop, but I'm sold on the top four as teams that could realistically win the league next season.
1. Oklahoma State: The Cowboys will be loaded, and that's especially true if running back Joseph Randle comes back. Cornerback Justin Gilbert is returning, but we saw this season that they can win with any one of their three quarterbacks. That's a recipe for success in this league. The defense was a bit streaky; this season was the first under defensive coordinator Bill Young that the Cowboys didn't finish in the top 15 in turnovers forced. If they can get back to forcing turnovers in bunches next season, another Big 12 title could be headed to Stillwater.
2. TCU: The Frogs are growing up fast, but their spot here is assuming that quarterback Casey Pachall will be back on the field this spring to reclaim his job. The defense looks likely to be the best in the Big 12, and as much offense as this league has, you can't win it without a solid defense. TCU's offense will win it some games; its defense might win it a Big 12 title. Look out for Devonte Fields' encore.
3. Oklahoma: The Sooners look like they may lack a true star on next season's team, but they are still solid across the two-deep and will be good enough to be in the mix for a title even without quarterback Landry Jones. A wealth of losses on the defensive end is a bigger concern, but receivers Jalen Saunders and Sterling Shepard also will have to navigate a transition to a new QB after three-plus years with Jones. The Sooners ought to feature fullback Trey Millard a bit more in the offense next year.
4. Texas: Believe it or not, but David Ash is the Big 12's most experienced passer. Can he look the part on the field? We'll see, but the biggest problem for Texas is continuing its defensive improvements. Jackson Jeffcoat could be back, and Jordan Hicks will be one of the league's biggest talents if he is able to recover from a hip injury. The time is now if the Longhorns' trio of backs are going to mature into true impact players.
5. Baylor: I'm a believer in the late-season run for these guys translating to 2013. The defense made big strides, and we'll see if those continue, but the offense will be fine. I buy Bryce Petty as a big talent and the next in the long line of Art Briles' quarterback disciples. Lache Seastrunk will help him out early, too. Don't be surprised if he surpasses Randle next year as the Big 12's best back.
6. Texas Tech: The Red Raiders are a huge wild card and might have the biggest upside of any team in the bottom half of these rankings. Michael Brewer is a promising QB, and he now has Kliff Kingsbury -- the former Texas A&M offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach who helped the Aggies far surpass expectations -- as his new head coach. Could Tech do the same? The Red Raiders have tons of talent on both sides of the ball, thanks to a couple of great recruiting classes from Tommy Tuberville (who left to become the coach at Cincinnati).
7. Kansas State: No Collin Klein and Arthur Brown? You know about that, but there's no Chris Harper, Travis Tannahill, Braden Wilson, and the entire defensive line is gone, including star DE Meshak Williams. Both starting cornerbacks are gone, too. Point is, K-State's probably a bowl team next season, but to come back from that mountain of losses and be in the top half of the Big 12 is going to be a tall, tall task.
8. West Virginia: The Mountaineers' trio of wide receivers Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin and quarterback Geno Smith was outstanding this year. Not much else in Morgantown was. All three are gone, and that team only went 7-5. Coordinator Keith Patterson has got to fix this defense in the spring and apply some lessons learned in a disappointing Year 1 in the Big 12. The QB derby between Paul Millard and Ford Childress should be interesting.
9. Iowa State: Sam Richardson was severely ill while playing in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, but he still didn't inspire a lot of confidence in the future of the QB spot in Ames, despite a strong finish to the season. With linebacking pillars A.J. Klein and Jake Knott both headed to the NFL, the odds once again will be against Iowa State winning six games and getting to a bowl. Without consistency at the quarterback spot, it's going to be tough, especially with the defense likely to take a step back.
10. Kansas: Gotta prove something before the Jayhawks move out of the basement. Charlie Weis is bringing in tons of juco talent, but after the Dayne Crist experiment didn't work, BYU transfer Jake Heaps simply must be better for KU to begin its climb back to the postseason.
2. Texas A&M: The Aggies might have been the hottest team in the country at the end of the 2012 season. Maybe defenses will have a little better handle on Johnny Manziel the second time around, but Johnny Football will have a little better handle on defenses, too. If offensive tackles Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews return for their senior seasons, look out. Losing Damontre Moore on defense will hurt, but the Aggies like their young talent.

Charles Shuh, 63, of Rockrimmon Road in Kingston and Ryan St. Jean, 19, of Hampstead both face three counts of child pornography handed down by a Rockingham County grand jury. A third local man caught in the sweep, David Curtis, 42, of Derry was indicted last year and intends to plead guilty, according to court documents.
Yesterday's indictments come eight months after the state attorney general made public a monthslong investigation into the trading of photos and videos of child sexual abuse. Police executed 40 search warrants and filed nine juvenile petitions during the investigation.
Police found three files on Shuh's home computer which were downloaded between October 2006 and February 2007. Three files of child pornography also were found on St. Jean's computer on Feb. 28, according to the indictments.
Assistant County Attorney Brad Bolton said the cases against Shuh and St. Jean are not related, but were both investigated by the Northern New England Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
The group has 20 law enforcement agencies, including several local police departments, county sheriffs, state police and members of the U.S. Secret Service and U.S. Postal Service. Derry and Pelham have officers on the task force.
As part of last year's sweep, task force investigators used techniques that allow them to backtrack how child pornography is saved on a personal computer.
"They find these computers, who owns them," Bolton said.
The cases are also built upon who had possession or access to the computer when the pornography was allegedly downloaded.
One such technique includes being able to backtrack pictures and videos of child pornography that are being shared on peer-to-peer computer networks, according to police.
Such programs are better known to computer users for downloading music or photographs. Yet in recent years, they also have become a favorite method for users and creators of child pornography, said Keene police Detective James McLaughlin, who has investigated thousands of child pornography cases.
McLaughlin was the first in New Hampshire to develop a task force that focused on child pornography and soliciting minors online in the 1990s. Years before that, he used to track child pornographers who would exchange photos by mail.
These days, he said, the peer-to-peer usage has proven to become a popular method. Investigators don't know exactly why.
"It's been around for some period of time," McLaughlin said. "People who share child pornography embrace new technology rather quickly."
He said some collectors of child pornography may be turning to the networks to help them complete a collection of photos or find a very specific act.
"They find that peer-to-peer works best for them, but it also increases their risk of detection," he said.
McLaughlin said it's nearly impossible to gauge the number of child pornographers using such technology. It's also not known if such easy trading has created more users of child pornography, he said.
"I can tell you this," he said. "When I first started to go online in the mid-'90s compared to now, I don't see any discernible difference with the numbers of people. And that's frustrating to say from a law enforcement perspective."
Both Shuh and St. Jean will be arraigned later this month in Rockingham County Superior Court. The charges are Class B felonies; if convicted, they could be sentenced to three and a half to seven years in state prison.

Bridge Busting Competition
Part of becoming a great engineer is applying fundamentals to solve open-ended problems. One place a student will learn to apply fundamentals to open-ended problems is through the annual Bridge Design Project as a part of the Statics and Strength of Materials course.
Teams of students creatively design a bridge, print it on our 3D Printer and present their work in the JBU commons area. The designs are judged on aesthetics and ability to successfully support an applied force. This project also has a service aspect as the students educate their peers on the nature of engineering.
This experience helps students become great engineers who can apply 'book knowledge' to 'real world' problems, and helps make them excellent problem solvers.
Robot Competition
Students' engineering skills are put to the test during JBU's Robot Competition. (Part of elective course EN4303.) Sophomore, junior, and senior students work together in teams of two to build a robot using Lego Mindstorm NXT and the NXC programming language.
The challenge is that each robot must be fully autonomous or able to "make decisions" using sensors, and cannot be remotely controlled. The contest consists of a double elimination tournament with pairs of robots competing against each other in heats as they race through identical mazes to reach the finish line. The robot reaching the finish line in the fastest time wins.
BUV Design Competition
The annual Basic Utility Vehicle (BUV) Design Competition, sponsored by the Institute of Affordable Transportation, harnesses the creative energy of college students from across the nation in an effort to develop a simple, low-cost utility vehicle to the benefit of low-income people in rural areas of developing countries. Student teams design and build BUV vehicles to compete in a series of tests and events that determine the best design.
In 2009, JBU senior engineering students, Mark Delavan and Alan Hill took first place in the BUV Design Competition. Read full story.
Watch video clips of the BUV Design Competition.

New Officers
"Patrol, protect, preserve."
The motto for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's (FWC) Division of Law Enforcement was on the minds of 20 new officers Friday when they graduated as the FWC's 16th officer class.
At a ceremony at the Florida Public Safety Institute, near Tallahassee, they pledged their efforts to patrol Florida's lands and waters and protect and preserve its people and resources.
Col. Jim Brown, director of the FWC's Division of Law Enforcement, mentioned how FWC officers are the first point of contact most people have with the agency.
"This privilege carries great responsibility," Brown said. "As they interact with the public, I know these new officers will uphold our values: integrity, professionalism, dedication and adaptability."
As FWC officers, they will patrol Florida's lands - nearly 54,000 square miles of it - as well as Florida's nearly 6,000 square miles of water.
"These officers will be protecting the 'Fishing Capital of the World' and one of the largest public hunting systems in the country," said FWC Chairman Kathy Barco, the guest speaker at the ceremony.
The new officers began their training in January. The beginning part of each FWC academy teaches recruits basic law enforcement information and skills.
"During the final eight weeks of each academy, we focus on the unique information and skills it takes to be an FWC officer," said Maj. Mark Warren, head of the FWC's training section.
The specialized training involves firearms proficiency, wildlife identification, vessel operation, defensive tactics, all-terrain vehicle operation, detection for boating and driving under the influence and a focus on state and federal wildlife and fisheries laws.
The graduates will now spend three months with a field-training officer and are assigned as follows:

West Virginia's current four-year scores are: baseball 922, men's basketball 974, women's basketball 985, women's cross country 996, football 950, women's gymnastics 995, rifle 971, women's rowing 981, men's soccer 989, women's soccer 985, men's swimming 972, women's swimming 974, women's tennis 964, women's indoor track 994, women's outdoor track 994, women's volleyball 950 and wrestling 945.
Marshall's current scores are: baseball 945, football 954, men's basketball 924, men's cross country 989, men's golf 977, men's soccer 968, softball 991, women's basketball 934, women's cross country 980, women's golf 993, women's soccer 994, women's swimming 982, women's tennis 1,000, women's indoor track 978, women's outdoor track 973 and volleyball 971.
In the 10-year history of the APR, five WVU teams have been penalized because of low APR scores, but none since the rowing team was hit with scholarship reductions based upon the 2007 and 2009 scores. The men's soccer team also had a minor scholarship reduction based on the 2007 scores, while the wrestling team was docked scholarships after the 2005 and 2007 school year numbers were released.
No Marshall team has ever been handed an APR penalty.
Not all schools came away unscathed, but not a single team from any of the major power conferences was penalized this year.
Florida International's men's basketball team was one of 18 programs sanctioned. That penalty is considered a final hangover from Isiah Thomas' 2009-12 failed coaching tenure.
The team's multi-year average for 2011-12 fell to 858, well below the 900 threshold. The average of the last two readings was no help, as the 2010-11 reading was 909.
That will keep the Panthers out of the Conference USA tournament next March, reducing the field to 15 teams. FIU is one of eight new schools entering the league for 2013-14.
Most of the other penalized schools have significantly more limited resources than top NCAA programs, including 11 historically black schools. Four of those banned are men's basketball squads from the 10-team Southwestern Athletic Conference.
Gazette staff writer Doug Smock and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Patriot Day observed
On Sept. 11, Lincoln Elementary School fourth and fifth graders recited the pledge of allegiance, then watched as Mike and Linda Stahly, members of VFW Post #9221 and Auxiliary, demonstrated how to properly raise, lower and fold the American flag. In other classrooms, patriotic activities were held in remembrance of 9/11. Below are students from Mrs. Thompson's first grade ELL class and Tyler Dunn, working on a project in Mrs. Becker's class.
Ready for research
Another layer of technology has been added to Delta Middle School student's research opportunities. Students can now access the Delta Public Library database and resource catalogs to find a multitude of articles, journals and other online materials. Access to the new information is achieved by visiting the Delta Public Library website and using the student's personal Delta Public library card number. This has opened a world of new informational opportunities to students gearing up for a year of intensive research projects.

If you take a look at the fixture list, United's next eight league games could garner plenty of points and the draw at White Hart Lane might look an even better result further on in the season.
Credit is also due to the United fans who made the trip to a wintry White Hart Lane on Sunday. Travel wasn't easy in those conditions. On arrival at Euston Station after the game, one look up at the departures board and you realised that the dominant word was "delays".
Eventually a Manchester-bound train was ready and as soon as the platform number was flashed up there was a stampede of people trying to get on the train. They were sprinting down the platform – it was like trying to get the last helicopter out of Saigon! But we made it home eventually - it's all part of the joy of following United.
Tonight's Under 21 game means the Paddy Crerand Show is on Tuesday on MUTV at 18.30 GMT.

The Paonia Chamber of Commerce has served the community by producing the Cherry Days Festival and by marketing and connecting local businesses. Its mission is to support local business, economic development and to protect our unique quality of life.
Cherry Days is the oldest continual festival in Colorado and the chamber was given the task to make sure that the festival continued when the ability of individuals in the community to organize the activities declined.
With the near dissolution of the chamber in 2006 and a totally new board of directors, the organization spent the last few years evaluating the time commitment, whether Cherry Days fit into the mission of the organization, and whether it could pull in the right volunteers to make Cherry Days reflect its important historic roots and traditions.
After engaging the public over the summer in 2012, the chamber found that individuals who represented a wide range of organizations and communities in Paonia were ready to take up the reins. Board members from the chamber volunteered to help the transition and the new group called the "Cherry Days 4 Ever" committee formed and is planning a Cherry Days celebration that continues to represent important traditions and Paonia's diversity.
The transfer of Cherry Days has some significant impacts for the chamber and the community. It has released the chamber board from the six-month workload to produce Cherry Days, and has allowed board members to place all their efforts into fulfilling the chamber's mission. It has also significantly reduced the chamber's income to about 40 percent of normal. Given this serious income reduction, with a current cash reserve of 50 percent of the historic annual budget, and with a dedication to conservative fiscal responsibility, the board members are voting on a bare bones budget for 2013 that may still leave the chamber in the red.
A primary focus for the chamber will now be how to make up the lost income and increase chamber services to fulfill the organization's mission at the same time. To that effect, board members have doubled their monthly meetings and are working hard to finalize a strategic plan and a branding strategy. The website is receiving a completely fresh new face, and board members are actively engaging with the local business community on how to best support them and the area's economic development. A new office is opening on Grand Avenue in the beginning of May, for which the chamber is actively soliciting volunteers.
Doubling the networking events, Business After Hours will take place every third Thursday of the month, and new quarterly membership meetings will keep members informed and engaged. In addition, the chamber is working with Grand Avenue businesses to create a more festive Downtown Days on July 3, and will be hosting the Bike Tour of Colorado (BTC) on June 25 that may bring over 1,000 people and contribute over $100,000 in economic activity to Paonia.
Given the significant income reduction for 2012 and a need for new income-producing activities, the chamber must regretfully cease its annual $2,000 donation to the Cherry Days King and Queen scholarship fund that it shares with the Paonia Rotary. The chamber encourages everyone who has participated in Cherry Days, or who has gone to Paonia High School, to consider making a donation this year to the Cherry Days committee for the King and Queen scholarship.
