Helios: The Train Has Arrived
The Eclipse Helios release is now available for download. Each year I am amazed how the Eclipse community is release on such a predictable schedule. Congratulations to all that help make it happen.
Helios is the biggest Eclipse release ever! We have over 39 different project teams participating, more than 33 million lines of code, 490 committers, 108 of those committers were individuals and the rest of commiters work for 44 different organizations. The amazing thing is that this is the 7th year in a row the Eclipse platform has been release the last week of June, never missing a schedule release date. What other software organization can make that claim!!
Helios Highlights
Each year we highlight some of the new and interesting technology that is being released. We also ask you to tell the community what you think is cool and interesting. For instance, Ian Bull has done the definitive top 10 list. Here are some of the things I think are interesting in Helios.
1. Git support. EGit and JGit 0.8 release are part of Helios. As many know Git and GitHub have a lot of interest in the developer community, especially at Eclipse. These two projects are well on the way to providing great Eclipse tooling for Git.
2. Linux IDE. The Linux Tools project has done a great job improving Eclipse for Linux developers. They have also created a new package for the download page, called the Linux IDE. As we reported in the Eclipse survey a lot more developers are using Linux as their desktop operating system, so the Linux IDE is meeting a growing demand.
3. JavaScript IDE. JavaScript is becoming more and more popular, so great tooling from Eclipse is important. The JavaScript Development Tools project has done some nice improvements to the JavaScript debug framework and the JavaScript editor. Like JDT, PDT, CDT, Eclipse is quickly becoming home to a great JavaScript IDE. We have also created a new JavaScript package for the download page.
4. Xtext 1.0. Xtext has great momentum. If people are interested in domain specific languages, they are looking at Xtext as a solution. For instance, Morgan Stanley did a case study of using Xtext at the recent Code Generation conference.
5. Acceleo 3.0. Acceleo is another popular Eclipse modeling project that implements the OMG Model to Text standard. This is another great example of a modeling project that makes Eclipse the leader in the modeling community.
6. Marketplace Client. OK, I am biased on this one since I was directly involved with this project but the Marketplace Client is looking great. We will have over 100 Eclipse products that can now be directly installable into your Eclipse installation. We are very close to having an Eclipse AppStore for the entire Eclipse ecosystem.
New Projects for the Release Train
This year we have a number of new projects on the release train. People often lose sight of the fact that projects volunteer to participate in the release train, no one forces them, so it is great to see the continued interest.
- eGIT
- Photran
- jGIT
- JavaScript Development Tools (JSDT)
- Linux Tools
- Marketplace Client
- MoDisco
- Modeling Amalgam
- Modeling Team Framework
- Jetty
Learn More About Helios
There are a number of information resources setup to help you learn more about Helios. Check out any of the following:
- Helios Virtual Conference on June 24 will feature 10 speakers on different topics related to Helios.
- Helios Demos features different project demos highlighting what is new in their Helios release, including ECF, JDT, JSF, PDT and more.
- Helios Blogathon features reviews of the Helios projects from the Eclipse community.
Next Year
The release train is called Indigo and I am confident it will be available the last week of June.

It certainly is impressive (and pretty rare, in my experience) for a large project to consistently meet its deadlines like this. I'd find it very interesting to read more about how you've done it -- and I expect many others would too.
Smeltet Kerne replied on Thu, 2010/06/24 - 5:18am
According to the eclipse survey 2010 Linux as developer desktop is steadily gaining 6% per year and Windows dropping about the same amount. This is an interesting trend - does this suggest anything about the general accepability of the Linux desktop? The move from Linux to Windows cannot be explained by a feature descrepency in Eclipse itself because its the same on both platforms. It can be explained by the continued work on the Linux version of Eclipse and the continued improvements of the Linux desktop. How much they each contribute would be guesswork, but in general you wouldn't move to Linux if you found Eclipse on Linux to be acceptable but the general Desktop to be unacceptable.
Ian Skerrett replied on Thu, 2010/06/24 - 7:36am
@tom I don't know of anyone that has written up how Eclipse does the release trains. In summary, I think there are a couple of key best practices: 1) very limited decision making, the project teams/developers make the feature decisions about their projects, 2) modular architecture so the dependencies between projects are well defined, and 3) lots of practice releases before the final release.
@marcos what type of Maven support do you mean? Have you lookd at Tycho?
@steve thanks for pointing out about OpenBSD release reputation. 14 years is very very impressive!
@smeltet imho, I think the gain of Eclipse on Linux is due to the improvements of Linux on the desktop but I agree the Eclipse improvements are helping too.

RJ: The latest national Higher Education Research Institute/UCLA study finds that incoming first-year college students in America rate their emotional health at the lowest point since the question was first asked 25 years ago. Many high school seniors feel depressed and overwhelmed. Do these findings surprise you?
President Mark G. Yudof, University of California system: No. In recent years, students have been dealing with a great deal of stress, not only the normal stress of competitive admissions, but also financial stress. They worry about Mom or Dad losing their jobs, foreclosure on their homes, and their own job prospects in a tight market. Students are not immune from the financial pressures affecting the whole of society. Universities are not islands.
Also, the ratio of high school students to guidance counselors has soared, at least in California, given budget cutbacks. Getting quality counseling is difficult—and a likely contributing factor.
How can undergrads reduce stress?
It's important for students to make time for their favorite activities at school—to find that balance between social life and book life. Friendships are vital. I recommend seeking out students with common interests by getting involved in a social group, such as a club, a Hillel, a fraternity, or an intramural sport team. Students who do so tend to be more content, while those who remain isolated tend to become alienated and miserable.
When students are having problems at school, I advise them not to try to go it alone. Don't bottle up your anxieties—it's more likely to lead to things going awry. Phone a high school friend, Mom or Dad, a cousin, Grandma, someone you like in your residence hall. And don't make hasty decisions, like electing to drop out. Look at the bigger picture. If you have a scholarship to UCLA, and eight weeks later you want to just give up, ten years from now you may rue the day you made that call as an 18- or 19-year-old.
How well are Jewish students handling the stress?
I find them enormously resilient. Some people treat them as if they're so fragile. Maybe some are, but the vast majority know how to stand up for themselves and think for themselves, such as when they defend against antisemitic or anti-Israel views on campus.
According to a recent report, 63% of student borrowers who started paying their loans in 2005 could not fully pay them back on time. Should today's students try to avoid taking loans?
No. Unlike buying a new car, which is a depreciating asset, the value of a college education appreciates. College graduates tend to have more stable employment, higher average incomes, and better health. Therefore, borrowing prudently to complete your degree will pay off many times over in your lifetime. If you're a student with a semester or so to go who's considering dropping out because you cannot afford the tuition, you're much better off getting a low-interest federal loan and completing your degree. Later you can figure out how to pay it back, even if you need to restructure or push out the repayment timeline at some point. This is a much better alternative than putting off your education, because it may be very hard to pick up those credits later in life, when you may have dependents and a mortgage.
In 2010, a record 72.7% of freshmen agreed with the statement: "The chief benefit of college is that it increases one's earning power." Do you agree with that statement?
My hope is that 10 years from now, if I ask those same students, "What did you get out of college?" they'll be able to see the larger picture and say, "Yes, my degree pushed me along in my career, but I'll never forget my Russian history course," or "I still read the poems of Yehuda Halevi." College exposes us to ideas, knowledge, cultures, and experiences we could not have otherwise. For many of us, it facilitates lifelong friendships and opens doors that forever change the directions of our lives.
Does your being Jewish influence you as a university president?
I believe being Jewish gives me an almost natural empathy toward those who are marginalized or feel alienated from the larger culture. I cannot say I can feel all the pain of an African American student who encounters racism, but I think I do understand what it's like to be in the minority and to have to overcome barriers as a result. In lectures to Jewish audiences, I sometimes say, "I wish I could protect you from groups that speak out against Israel or think Jewish people are bad people. Fortunately we are well protected by the First Amendment."
As a Jew, I also deeply value education—in effect, living the understanding that Jews are the "People of the Book." At every level, education provides answers and opens doors, and as a society we neglect it at our own peril.

The pass thru from Kitchen to combined Dining and Living areas offers a unique aspect to this plan that will help set it apart from the competition.

We warned at halftime that the Sixers' offense might not last, given the team's struggles over the last couple of months on that end and Boston's killer defense. We were right to worry. Philadelphia has been forced into tough shot after tough shot in the fourth quarter. Avery Bradley, in particular, has been all over Lou Williams, and Andre Iguodala has taken more fadeaways than any mediocre shooter should ever take.
This does not bode well for the rest of the series.

Family, friends, and loved ones are grieving over the loss of 2-year-old Leah Marie Aguirre, found dead yesterday in the basement of her caregiver's home.
42-year-old Matilda Almaraz has been charged with capital murder.
Police say Almaraz told them a man posing as a CPS worker took the toddler from her home last Thursday.
The whole community of Crosbyton is still in shock that this happened in their own backyard.
Sandy Wallace went to church with Matilda Almaraz. She says Matilda and her husband David were baptized at the First Baptist Church in Crosbyton just a few months ago.
"It's shocking to everyone in the community. That's the consensus within the town, on Facebook, people's profiles. It's a shock to our small community," Wallace said.
Wallace said up until the Wednesday before Christmas, Almaraz had been going to bible studies with her every week.
"She was in there with Leah. Leah was cradled in her lap next to us in bible study. We were, ironically, studying the book of Revelation and the evil and the second coming and how as Christians we prepare for that," Wallace said.
Wallace says she never noticed anything peculiar in the way Almaraz treated little Leah, making this story even more unthinkable.
"She actually ended up falling asleep in her lap, which tells me she trusted her and she felt safe in her arms," Wallace said.
"People have the understanding that in a small town everyone knows everybody and we all know what's going on and we don't, I mean you just don't," Wallace said.
Chief of Crosbyton Police Greg Parrott says the autopsy has been completed but the cause of death has not yet been determined. No other arrests have been made at this time.

Military defense lawyer to speak at WNCC
Incidents during the "fog of war" in Afghanistan and Iraq have resulted in numerous charges against American servicemen and servicewomen. A military defense lawyer who specializes in defending these soldiers will be speaking at Western Nebraska Community College this Friday.
Joseph Hawkins Low IV, a retired U.S. Marine himself, will talk about how he has taken on and won these cases through re-enactment of firefights and walking in his clients' boots by returning to the scene of where the cases took place, often in enemy held territories.
Low, who also specializes in providing support and assistance to clients who struggle with post-traumatic stress issues and helping veterans in their return to civilian life, will deliver an interesting talk at WNCC this Friday at noon.

There's been a lot going on in the world lately, so, while you're on a break, let's take a minute to get you caught up on everything you need to know to be a fully informed citizen of Bulldog Nation:
- Each of the top four seeds lost in Wednesday's S.E.C. tournament action, including the Diamond Dogs. Georgia's elimination game against the Bat Cats is underway right now, so look for more on that this evening.
- This dawned on me last night, so I thought I'd ask just to make sure. Is the actor who played the guy who carjacked David Fisher on "Six Feet Under" the same actor who played Enos in the greatest movie ever made, "The Dukes of Hazzard"? I have to say, I find it a little unsettling to think that this might be the case, so leave me a comment to let me know whether I'm right or wrong on this one.
"Enos, where's Boss Hogg . . . and why'd you do poor David like that when he was just trying to give you a lift to the gas station?"
- A.C. continues to keep us updated on the Redcoat Band's tour of China and Kanu is doing fine work breaking down Georgia's loss to Pepperdine in the N.C.A.A. men's tennis tournament and paying much-deserved tribute to Uber-Dawg Dan Magill.
- If you haven't been keeping up with the Dannell Ellerbe saga, the Georgia Sports Blog has the scoop, in both a lighthearted and a serious vein. In the meantime, if you're like me, you already saw this at the Dawg Bone, but it bears repeating. Here is what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Jeff Schultz had to say about the situation:
Coming from a cynical curmudgeon like Schultz, that's practically sainthood. In any case, score one for Bruins Nation's side of the argument.
- It has already garnered some attention at Maize n Brew and at the Georgia Sports Blog, but, in case you hadn't heard, I have been blasting other schools' lame mascot traditions. I wouldn't advise creating a drinking game that involved taking a shot every time you read about another team's live mascot being involved in an unpleasant altercation with an automobile.
- If you don't think this is hilarious, you're reading the wrong weblog, my friend.
Go 'Dawgs!

$10,000,000 Sequoia Healthcare District Nursing Education Program
Original post made by Jack Hickey on Oct 13, 2012
It has been my contention that the $25,000 District subsidy of each nurse's education should have instead been financed by loans from the California Nurses Association, which could easily have collected repayment regardless of where the nurses were employed.
In order to preserve District assets, subsidy of this Program should be terminated as soon as possible. With dissolution of the Sequoia Healthcare District those assets would then pass on to our schools, fire districts, etc.
RATIONALE FOR THE PROGRAM See: Web Link
"To prepare a ready supply of registered nurses for our community, the Sequoia Healthcare District created a unique partnership among Cańada College, San Francisco State University (SFSU), and Sequoia Hospital with the goal of producing 300-400 new nurses for this region over the next ten years. The first cohort began in September 2004. Graduates of the program will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree."
"The Sequoia Healthcare District is underwriting the program in the amount of $1M per year and has provided $650,000 for a state-of-the-art nursing skills lab on the Cańada College campus."
on Oct 23, 2012 at 10:35 am
A statistical report entitled "SFSU/Sequoia Nursing Program stats" was presented to the SHCD Board at their October 10, 2012 meeting.
The report shows the following annual hiring of graduate nurses by Sequoia Hospital:
2006 - 16
2007 - 20
2008 - 14
2009 - 5
2010 - 11

Average for the first 5 years was 13.2 nurses hired at Sequoia Hospital per ~40 graduates, or 33%. That is hardly a majority as reported in the e-mail exchange below.

Subject: nurses
The majority of nurses graduating from our program end up being hired at Sequoia Hospital with a few being hired at Kaiser. The last two years have proven to be difficult due to the economy so about half the graduates have left the area to seek employment including a group of nine that went to the Palm Springs area. Obviously we will continue to monitor the issue and I will encourage San Mateo Medical Center to take a look but they are not doing much hiring these days either. These nurses are really looking for hospital based jobs and have not been to receptive to community nursing or mental health care where there is a bigger need. It is possible that many of those who have gained employment elsewhere may move back here once employment opportunities become more available.
I then sent the following to Kim Griffin, President of the Sequoia Healthcare District Board:

Kim, based upon these results, I suggest that we seek alternative funding for this program. Clearly, the beneficiaries are the nurses and their union. I have suggested in the past that the unions front the $25,000 per nurse (x 40= $1,000,000/yr), which the District now pays. It would be easy for them to recoup the money from the newly unionized nurses, regardless of their place of employment. And, it would level the playing field for health care providers.

Subject: RE: nurses
Hi Jack. I am considering what we are going to do with this grant. I'm not sure what the rationale was when this was approved for ten years. Keep in mind that unions do not hire nurses or determine their educational level. All of the nursing unions represent nurses with ADNs (like me) through anyone with an advanced degree in the bargaining unit. Dues are not based on educational level. I think if you really look at this program it is clearly the nurses and schools that have benefited. I think the issue that really struck me the last time the program presented at a board meeting was the fact that the average outstanding loan amount for these graduates was 20K, which I find to be a relatively small amount compared to most college debt these days. With a few years and hard work you can pay this off fairly quickly as a nurse. I think it's going to have to be like a lot of the other universities where tuition will have to be raised. This is difficult for me because I know how important nurses are to health care. We will see a lot shortage again at some point and there we will be. The hospitals would prefer to have unlicensed people at the bedside and I saw that experiment fail to the extent that it was fatal to patients! The girl who used to run the Slurppy Machine at the 7-11 is not someone you want drawing up insulin or giving a blood transfusion.

Subject: Re: nurses
Kim, as I understand it, this is a $1,000,000/yr GRANT program, not a loan. That's a $25,000 gift for each nursing student.
Unions need only execute a debt instrument with these nursing students, which includes a defined payback as a percentage of wages.
The unions benefit significantly from this program. They should be a natural sponsor.
Question: At what meeting did the alleged presentation referring to: "... the average outstanding loan amount for these graduates was 20K..."
I would like the audio recording to verify that. Let's get all our meetings on audio CD's and our website.

Katie Kane, incumbent Board Member and candidate for re-election says this about the Nurses Program:
Since its' inception more than 320 registered nurses have graduated and the majority work locally.
Not true, as information in this thread reveals.

Mild temperatures start the week
Published on Wednesday, 30 November -0001 00:00
Hits: 260
By Mark Anthony, Meteorologist
Temperatures were mild across the Upper Midwest last weekend and for the start of this week. I know many golf courses around the state of Minnesota were still open and that allowed many of you to get out and do some golfing.
Alexandria had a high temperature on Sunday of 53 degrees. That was just four degrees shy of the record high of 57 degrees set back in 1979. The morning low was 36 degrees. That was near our average high for this time of the year. Many other locations were in the 60s for highs across parts of southern Minnesota.
Our mild fall weather continued as well for Monday and Tuesday of this week. Highs were in the 50s and even 60s in some parts of the region. That allowed many of you to get your Christmas lights up early while the weather cooperated.
A change will be coming our way, however. Things should remain mild through Thursday for Thanksgiving Day, but then a cold-front will push across Minnesota by Thursday night. Some light rain possibly mixed with light snow could develop across parts of Minnesota.
By the way, the National Weather Service has put out their three-month forecast for the winter and it is indicating below-normal temps for much of Minnesota with equal chances for snowfall. What that means is that you should keep your winter coats out and your snow shovel and snowblowers handy, but we don't know how much you may use them just yet!
Have a great upcoming Thanksgiving weekend!
Weather history: On this date in 2011 on Thanksgiving Day it was also very mild with highs in the low to mid 50s common across the region.
Weather fact: Snow fact: snowflakes always have "six sides and similar to the human fingerprint, it is thought that no two snowflakes are ever exactly the same." Both the form and shape of a "snowflake depends on the temperature and moisture content of the cloud."
Moorhead Low 33 High 56

Monday's sunrise: 7:31 a.m.
Monday's sunset: 4:42 p.m.
Normal High: 35
Normal Low: 20
Mild air should stay with us through Thanksgiving Day before a cold-front pushes through Thursday night into Friday that could bring some light rain possibly mixed with some light snow across parts of Minnesota. Temperatures will return to more seasonal readings by Friday into the weekend.
Thursday: Increasing cloudiness and breezy, chance of light rain by the evening. High 50 Low 18 Winds: WSW/NW 10-20>25 mph Prec. Trace-.10"
Friday: Mostly cloudy, breezy and chilly. High 30 Low 23 Winds: NW 15-25 mph Prec. None

CHILLICOTHE, Ill -- Officials with Rescue 33 in Chillicothe are working to reassure the community.
Tuesday Chillicothe's free and volunteer ambulance service had its license revoked for lagging response time and lack of staff.
In the meantime, Advanced Medical Transport is handling calls in that area. Rescue 33 Officials say since Tuesday calls have been down. They are hearing concerns that citizens may not trust AMT and want to reassure the community that AMT is stationed in area and ready to assist with reliable and professional emergency services.
If and when Rescue 33 gets their license reinstated they are working to restructure the service.
That will including looking at a variety of ways to properly finance and staff Rescue 33.
"There are a lot of financial options to be considered such as taxing, charge for calls, house fees, grants, donations and fundraisers. Since we are just starting the process, we cannot say what method or group of methods will be used," said Ron Hedden, president of Rescue 33.

Helen B. SnyderNovember 24,2012
Helen B. SnyderHelen B. Snyder
FLORENCE Helen Beatrice Barall Snyder passed away peacefully on Saturday, November 17, 2012, in her home at The Lodge at Otter Creek in Middlebury, Vermont.
Helen was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on September 29, 1921, the daughter of Leon and Bertha (Jakira) Barall.
Helen worked tirelessly throughout her life in many endeavors. She raised a family of four children, served in leadership positions for many years with the PTA, worked in the administration at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, served on the Board of Trustees for Chaffee Art Center, served proudly in the sisterhood of the Rutland Jewish Center, and served on the Board of Directors of the beloved Dismas House of Rutland.
Helen married her companion for life, Murry A. Snyder, on February 17, 1946. Together, they raised a family and made a wonderful life in New York City and Florence, Vermont.
Helen will always be remembered for her radiant smile, beautiful hats and eternally large heart. Throughout her life, all were welcome in her home as equals. To this, there was no exception.
Helen loved to entertain guests and volunteer for her community. She was a constant presence at the Blood Drive in Rutland. She loved to travel, which took her to remote corners of the world. She was a strong supporter of the arts and loved theater, music and fine art with equal devotion.
Helen leaves a legacy that includes life with passion and death with dignity. She was a strong believer in teaching tolerance, that justice for all was more than a phrase and that you could think globally but needed to act locally. In spite of these attributes, when asked to explain her reason, she was fond of saying, Because Im Your Mother!
Helen was often referred to as The Prettiest Girl in Hartford. In truth, she was the prettiest girl wherever she happened to be at the time.
Helen was predeceased by her husband Murry Snyder, son David Snyder, brother Stan Barall and sisters Lillian Cane and Madeline Bedick.
Helen is survived by her son Andy Snyder of Florence, Vermont, daughter Karen Snyder-Kadish of Norwood, New Jersey, son Adam Snyder of Homewood, Alabama, daughters-in-law, Chris Anderson of Manchester, Vermont, and Sue Buckingham of Homewood, Alabama, and loving grandchildren Ethan Snyder of Brooklyn, New York, Caleb Kadish of Norwood, New Jersey, and Chrissie Wohland of Boston, Massachusetts; and many loving in-laws, nieces and nephews and their extended families.
The family also wishes to thank the staff and residents at the Lodge at Otter Creek, Kathy Laframboise and the angels at Addison Home, Health and Hospice, Jeanni Vargas, Milly Jackson and the staff of M&M Private Care and Doctors Diana Barnard and George Fjeld.
Donations in Helens memory may be made to:
Rutland Dismas House
103 Park Avenue
Rutland, VT 05701
A celebration of Helens life will be held at a later date. A notice will be provided and all are most welcome to attend.
Arrangements are under the care of Tossing Funeral Home of Rutland.MORE IN Obituaries0823 RH Obits McFadden brief no photo no flag Full Story0823 RH Obits Thomson brief no photo no flag Full Story0823 RH Obits Singleton edited photo flag Full Story

As local area networks were being introduced to small businesses and personal computers had become commonplace, I was working as a hardware technician for a VAR that sold complete accounting systems.
Most of my time was spent replacing motherboards and disk drives, building custom PCs, and running errands. With my spare time I helped with accounting software updates by feeding stacks of diskettes into customers' machines.
[ Get a highly rewarding IT career with these "12 effective habits of indispensable tech pros." | Follow Off the Record on Twitter for tech's war stories, career takes, and off-the-wall news. ]
I hated computers. I hated accounting even more. But this was a job and an opportunity to be in the right place at the right time to introduce local area networks to my community. I had worked with minicomputers in my youth. I was sure that Novell LANs linking PCs would replace DEC, Wang, IBM minicomputers, and eventually, maybe even mainframes.
One day my boss called me into his office and asked of me a strange favor: A client was losing data, and my boss had not been able to figure out why.
The client's accounting system worked by transferring data from one PC to another via floppy disk -- the first PC tracking the packing slips, and the second PC the sales data. The office manager and president had noticed that summary reports from the two machines did not match and there were items missing from the warehouse that were unaccounted for.
My boss couldn't find anything wrong with the accounting system: The PCs ran diagnostics flawlessly, and whenever he transferred the data, the reports matched up. Nevertheless, the client was blaming us and the equipment.
At the accounting office, I was told that only one clerk knew even a little about the system, so they'd assigned the data entry and transfer tasks to her. As she explained the process she took, I caught her in a small lie -- hardly noticeable, but to me it was evidence. She acted naïve about the technology, but I suspected she understood far more about the accounting system than she let on.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Union on the Move! – from Richmond to Tidewater and Beyond
September 1 – Richmond, VA –"Instead of the Church coming to us, we're going to the Church!" said Union Presbyterian Seminary Dean Stan Skreslet, Richmond campus. "We're excited about Union on the Move! because it's a way to engage personally and equip many local congregations at the same time."

There's no question Brian Stann is proud of his contributions to the United States military as a Marine. A decorated veteran, Stann has never shied away from discussing his past which, ironically, is the reason he won't be talking about it much if at all in the future.
Stann's concern stems from a recent experience with Ultimate Insider where he went into detail about military operation. Apparently the amount of emotional digging involved struck a nerve with the 31-year old who no longer wants to be defined by simply his service to the country.
"I never really wanted to talk about it," said Stann in an interview with MMAJunkie. "Back in my WEC days, I was forced to do it. But I was always able to tap-dance around the answers, be very vague, bestow credit upon my Marines and not really get into specifics."
However, he wasn't able to dodge any answers when the Ultimate Insider crew came calling.
"I wasn't prepared for those two days mentally. It was difficult," added Stann of his experience with the Fuel TV segment and the specifics brought up. In addition to the UFC middleweight's account of the involved mission the gripping package also featured actual video of his squadron's encounter and a face-to-face meeting with one of Stann's fellow soldiers who was injured during the experience.
"What defines me is being a husband and father," explained Stann of what he wanted to be known for from here on out.
The 11-4 Stann faces Alessio Sakara this Saturday at UFC on Fuel 2 (3:00 PM EST). It will mark Stann's first fight since falling to Chael Sonnen this past October. Prior to the defeat he had won three straight.
MMATraining Take: I have no problem with Stann's stance. He's been an extremely good ambassador for the military thus far in his career and there's no reason he needs to keep re-hashing the same stories for media's sake.
[...] case may be. Featuring the return of Thiago Silva as he takes on Alexander Gustafsson, as well as Brian Stann vs. Alessio Sakara, I expect we'll be treated to some solid fights, and some delightful [...]
[...] co-main event is also official with Brian Stann and Alessio Sakara weighing 185 pounds and 186 pounds [...]

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Lawmakers in Indiana have been very busy, but a push to write the state's ban on gay marriage into the state constitution isn't one of their priorities right now.
House Speaker Brian Bosma and Senate President Pro Tem David Long have pushed measures to improve job training and spend more on schools.
State lawmakers have two years to decide if they will consider the measure to write the gay marriage ban into the Indiana constitution. Long has called for a legal review with an eye on whether a Supreme Court ruling would moot the point for state lawmakers.
Meanwhile, a casino bill that would give the state's ten riverboat casinos a tax cut passed unanimously out of committee.
Another measure moving through is a bill to reinstate cursive writing being taught in schools. It was dropped in 2011, but just passed a Senate panel.
The House has voted to extend regulations on outdoor stage rigging. The rules were put in place after the deadly State Fair collapse in 2011, which killed seven people.

Crimean Baptists remain uncertain on future

KIEV, Ukraine (BP) -- Baptist workers in Russia and Ukraine remain uncertain what effect the recent Crimean referendum to secede from Ukraine and join Russia will have on churches in the region.
Although there is freedom of religion in Russia, national identity is tied to the Orthodox Church. Protestant denominations, which are classified as cults, are treated with mistrust. Laws related to religious activity are more tightly controlled in Russia than in Ukraine, where evangelical Christianity has surged since the early '90s.
"Baptist Church leaders are not sure what standing they will have with the new government," Tim Johnson,* an IMB representative in Kiev, said. "The freedoms of religion and the protection of the Ukrainian constitution are now lost and what standing they will have in the transition is uncertain."
The March 16 referendum in Crimea has left the region torn between two nations. Russia has claimed the region with a strong military presence, but Ukraine and its allies do not acknowledge the legitimacy of the vote. Residents of Crimea are living with the reality of having their citizenship, pensions, currency and property documents in limbo.
"There is an overhanging sense of the unknown," Johnson said.
John Green,* another International Mission Board representative in Russia, said Russians generally feel that Crimea belongs to Russia. Crimea was given to Ukraine as a gift when both were a part of the former Soviet Union. When Ukraine claimed independence in 1991, Russia lost Crimea.
"What is creating unease is how Russia is perceived by the rest of the world," Green said. "Russians want the rest of the world to see them as strong and courageous, and Baptist Russians want to see their countrymen trusting in God and not just their country."
A third player in this drama is the native people of the land, the Tatars, who make up less than 15 percent of Crimea's roughly 2 million people. Sunni Muslims of Turkic origin, the Tatars began returning to Crimea about two decades ago. They are deeply suspicious of Russian rule following the mass deportation of their ancestors to Central Asia by Soviet authorities in 1944, and they strongly protested the March 16 referendum.
Many Tatars are seeking refuge in western Ukraine. Central Baptist Church of Vinnytsia, Ukraine, has provided help to Tatars who have arrived in their city.
"If this (migration) increases there will need to be an organized response to help these people who are once again faced with losing their homes," Johnson said.
Throughout the past four months since EuroMaidan protests first began in Kiev, Ukrainian Christians have consistently responded to the political unrest with prayer and evangelism. Crimean Baptist pastor Kostya Bakonov, who leads a church in Simferopol, said many people are spiritually open because of the ongoing hostilities.
"Many people in Ukraine have been searching for answers and are seeking the answers from churches and ministers," Bakonov said. "We praise God that He is opening hearts to reveal Himself."
Johnson confirmed this sentiment. "It's amazing how much easier it is to talk to people now," he said.
Bakonov asked for continued prayer for the people of Crimea as they navigate this time of transition.
"I fervently believe the crisis in Ukraine is not only about the political stability in the country and region but also for the souls of men," he said.

JU faces #24 Florida on Monday at 1 p.m.
With the end of its non-conference schedule in sight, the JU men's basketball team faces its toughest test when they travel for a matchup with No. 24 Florida at the O'Connell Center on Monday at 1 p.m.
The game will be televised on SunSports and broadcast Internet only on 1010xl.com, with Barry Milligan and Artis Gilmore calling the action, starting with Bono's Barbecue Pregame Show at 12:45 p.m. Fans can also listen to the Florida radio broadcast live on 930-AM.
The Dolphins (6-3) are coming off two close losses to start the road trip, including a stinging loss to Saint Louis on Wednesday after building a double-digit lead in the second half. Florida (8-2) is coming off a 57-44 win over No. 6 Kansas State on Saturday.
"We continue to stress to our guys that we have to get better," said JU head coach Cliff Warren. "There are a lot of teaching moments for our young men from the last two games."
The Dolphins are looking to end their three-game road trip on a high note.
Jacksonville fell behind early at Winthrop and never was able to take the lead in a 73-66 loss. Against Saint Louis, the Dolphins built an 18-point lead early in the second half only to see the Billikens rally for a 69-64 win.
One of the similarities in JU's three losses is defense.
All three losses have seen the Dolphins allow at least 69 points, with opponent hitting 47.2 percent of their shots from the floor. Another point of contention is that JU has only forced an average of 14 turnovers per game in the losses, down from the average of 18.8 that JU forces each game.
Monday's matchup is the 33rd in series history, with the Gators holding a 28-4 edge. The Dolphins have lost 20 of the last 21, with the only victory being an upset of the eight-ranked Gators on Dec. 21, 1994 (68-67). Adding to that is JU has lost 12 in a row against ranked teams, a streak that also dates back to the upset in 1994.

Our Midtown Patch Question of the Day concerns the late Penn State football coach, Joe Paterno following Thursday's release of the Freeh Report.
There's little doubt that because Paterno concealed information for years that could have stopped a sexual predator, his friend and longtime defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, his legacy has been stained forever.
Nike has already removed Paterno's name from a child development center on its campus in Beaverton, Ore. Paterno, who passed in January at age 85, won 409 games and two national championships during a 46-year head coaching career that was without NCAA rule violations.
He touched countless lives through his many philanthropic acts but in light of the conclusions of former FBI director Louis Freeh, how will you remember this iconic coaching figure?
When Penn State officials learned of disturbing allegations of sexual abuse by Sandusky in the football training building in February 2001, they initially discussed going to state authorities with the information.
But after further discussion—and despite a similar allegation levied against Sandusky three years earlier—the school officials and Paterno instead decided to close ranks and offer him "professional help" while also restricting him from entering school facilities with children.
The cover-up continued for another decade with former Penn State President Graham Spanier even refusing to discuss the situation with school Board of Trustees after Sandusky was charged in November 2011.
The details that emerged from Freeh's investigation paint a scandalous portrait rising to Penn State's highest levels that likely led to the abuse of more young men. Paterno and Spanier were fired days after the allegations of abuse broke, while former Athletic Director Tim Curley and former school Vice President Gary Schultz were charged with perjury.
The Freeh Report, , shows that school officials were more worried about protecting the Penn State brand than the young boys Sandusky was molesting on campus. The investigation concludes that Paterno was somewhat involved in the discussions of how to handle the situation.
"The only downside for us is if the message isn't 'heard' and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it," Spanier wrote in an e-mail in late February 2001. "But that can be assessed down the road. The approach you outline is humane and a reasonable way to proceed."
When allegations began bubbling up again with the start of the grand jury in early 2010, Spanier continued to deny anything was happening even while news outlets began reporting of the investigation. When one Board of Trustee member emailed Spanier in April 2011 inquiring about a newspaper story, the president brushed it off by saying the law would not allow him to comment.
"I'm not sure it is entirely our place to speak about this when we are only on the periphery of this," Spanier wrote to the trustee in April 2011.
By October 2011, Sandusky was still allowed on campus and even attended Paterno's final game at head coach. Sandusky watched the game from Beaver Stadium's prestigious Nittany Lion Club.
Six days later, the state Attorney General's office filed charges against Sandusky and arrested him the following day.
Even with charges filed, Spanier refused to brief the Board of Trustees on the situation. Instead, Spanier sent out a press release offering his "unconditional support" for Schultz and Curley, and that "protecting children requires the utmost vigilance."
, and the Penn State community was left to pick up the pieces from a decade-long cover-up that many have said could have led to the molestation of more young boys.
In the recommendations portion of the report, investigators admitted that while there were numerous individual failings, "it also reveals weaknesses of the university culture, governance, administration, compliance policies and procedures."
The report indicates that a special investigative unit provided several recommendations to the board and university in January suggesting they reform policies and guidelines related to the protection of children.
The university worked on many of those issues—strengthening policies to protect minors, encouraging prompt reporting of incidents of sexual misconduct, conducting abuse-awareness training for all levels of university officials, including top leadership, and increasing compliance with the Jean Clery Disclosure of Campus Security.
"One of the most challenging tasks confronting the university community is an open, honest and thorough examination of the culture that underlies the failure of Penn State's most powerful leaders to respond appropriately to Sandusky's crimes," the recommendations portion of the report stated.
Specific recommendations included:
- To organize a Penn State-led effort to "vigorously examine an understand the Penn State culture in order to reinforce … and promote an environment of increased transparency."
- To review and evaluate its organizational structure. "In various ways, the university administrative structure, the absence of poor enforcement of policies related to policies related to the protection of children and employee misconduct and the lack of ethic-based action created an environment in which (university leaders) were able to make decisions to avoid bad publicity.
- To realign and refocus the responsibility of the university's board of directors and operations—improving internal and external practices and strengthening policies and procedures. "The board's over-confidence in Spanier's abilities, and its failure to conduct oversight and responsible inquiry of Spanier and senior university officials, hindered the board's ability to deal properly with the most profound crisis ever confronted by the university."
- To ensure compliance with laws, regulations and mandates. "The university's incomplete implementation of the Clery Act was a contributing factor in the failure to report the 2001 child sexual abuse committed by Sandusky," the report indicated.
- To fully involve the university's athletic department, providing training to ensure compliance with the laws governing a safe environment for children. "For the past several decades, the university's athletic department was permitted to become a closed community," the report stated. "There was little personnel turnover or hiring from outside and strong internal loyalty." The report continued: "The athletic department was perceived in the Penn State community as 'an island' where staff members lived by their own rules."
- To improve oversight of staff members responsible for youth programs, and increase abuse awareness and awareness of policies regarding children and access to the university. "Over the years, university policies for non-student minors were inconsistently implemented through the university," the report indicated. "Enforcement of those policies was uneven and even uncoordinated and as a result Sandusky was allowed to conduct (events) without any direct oversight by university officials.

PULLMAN -- Pullman police arrested Washington State linebacker Logan Mayes for a hit and run last Thursday.
The incident led to Mayes' arrest May 16th just after 6:30 p.m. on NE Westwood Drive.
A WSU spokesperson told SWX that the coaches are aware of the situation and it will remain a team matter.
Court records show Mayes is scheduled to appear in Whitman County District Court the morning of June 4.
As a sophomore in 2012 Mayes appeared in all 12 games, with three starts. He finished the season with 26 tackles. The Eugene native had 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks to go along with a forced fumble.

MEMS Technology
"A sensor is the gateway between the three-dimensional world and an information system. You can't measure phenomena of the 3D-world efficiently and accurately without resorting to 3D-technology. This is why Murata Electronics Oy has created 3D MEMS for its motion and pressure sensors."
Heikki Kuisma, Director, Advanced Development
firstname [dot] lastname [at] murata [dot] fi
Murata's silicon capacitive sensors are made of single crystal silicon and glass. These materials ensure exceptional reliability, unprecedented accuracy and excellent stability over time and temperature. Manufacturing technologies are borrowed from semiconductor industry, which provides mass production capability and cost efficiency. Additional MEMS-specific technologies include wafer bonding and deep reactive ion etching of silicon.
Murata Electronics Oy is using the simple and stable capacitive detection principle. It is based on the variation of the distance between two surfaces. The capacitance, or charge storage capacity of a pair of surfaces, depends on their distance and on the overlapping surface area. Murata Electronics Oy's 3D MEMS sensors are robust structures that are very sensitive to inertial forces and pressure but are insensitive to other environmental variables and causes of failure. Symmetry and other sound design principles of the accelerometers and gyroscopes help to improve stability, linearity, cross-axis sensitivity and susceptibility to vibrations.
Our 3D MEMS are capped, i.e. inherently hermetically sealed in a wafer level process for reduced packaging requirements. No particles or chemicals can enter the capped sensor, a fact that ensures reliability. We are the pioneer in utilizing through-silicon vias in the capping wafer. This saves device area and simplifies the packaging process.
Depending on the needs of the application the accelerometer, gyroscope and pressure sensor elements can be designed for a specific sensitivity, measuring range and frequency response. Accelerometer and gyroscope elements are available for both in-plane and z-axis measurement as well as for 3-axis sensing. Gyroscopes can be used for signals as small as earth's rotation and as large as tracking the motion of a human hand.
System-in-package technologies are used to combine one or more sensing elements with signal processing circuits. Very robust and reliable moulded cavity plastic packages are used for automotive and industrial products. For consumer electronics sensors wafer level packaging technologies are used that guarantee smallest possible device size and cost.

Every minute, somewhere around the world, pacemakers with Murata accelerometers are being fitted to patients to save their lives or substantially improve their quality of life.
