Mary Ann Glendon: Expect Great Things From Benedict XVI
Interview With President of Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences
ROME, APRIL 25, 2005 (Zenit) - Reactions to the election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as Benedict XVI have been mixed, but on the whole Catholics are happy with the new Pope, says Mary Ann Glendon.
In this interview with Avvenire, the president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences comments on her own reaction to the new Pope, and her expectations for his pontificate.
Glendon, a Harvard law professor, became the first female president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences in 2004. She was also head of the Holy See delegation to the 4th U.N. Women's Conference in 1995, and serves as a member of the Pontifical Council for the Laity.
Q: What was your first reaction at the news of the election of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger as the new Pontiff?
Glendon: Even though the election was not unexpected, it was a thrilling moment when Benedict XVI emerged onto the balcony above St. Peter's Square! Catholics of my generation are fortunate to have lived in a time of extraordinary Popes, and I believe we now stand at the beginning of yet another great pontificate.
Q: Was your first impression confirmed by the homily pronounced today by the new Pope?
Glendon: It was heartening to know that the new Pope, like his predecessor, has accorded such a high priority to Christian unity. The message in the Sistine Chapel confirms the links of mind and heart that will provide continuity in many ways with the work of John Paul II.
Q: Were you totally satisfied with the choice, or had you hoped for someone else? And why?
Glendon: I was delighted with the choice. By choosing one of his closest collaborators, the cardinals paid tribute to Pope John Paul II and indicated their hopes that the Church will continue to be led along the course he charted toward a springtime of evangelization. As president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, I take special pleasure in the fact that the new Pope is a brilliant scholar who has long been a member of our sister academy, the Pontifical Academy of Science.
Q: The new Pope was very close to John Paul II. He has though been welcomed with mixed reactions. Why do you think he is not seen as his successor?
Glendon: Anyone who was so united in thought to John Paul II will inevitably get "mixed reactions" -- from the same people who had "mixed reactions" to John Paul II. For most Catholics throughout the world, however, I believe the reactions are overwhelmingly positive -- precisely because Benedict XVI is seen as a successor who will build creatively on the major themes of John Paul II. He will, of course, bring his own remarkable gifts to the papacy, the Church and the world.
Q: Cardinal Ratzinger has been known as "cardinal no" for some of his positions on women in the clergy, homosexuality and contraception. Do you think the Church should have chosen a more moderate Pope?
Glendon: Cardinal Ratzinger's primary responsibility for many years has been to protect and defend the precious deposit of the faith. Even though some of these doctrines are hard to follow at times, few Catholics really want the Church to "dumb down" her teachings to the level of a permissive society. A Boston radio talk-show host -- well known for his irreverent attitudes -- has defended the choice of Cardinal Ratzinger this way: "Look, I'm a bad Catholic and I know it. But a Pope has to stand for something, and even I don't want a Pope saying the things I believe in."
Q: Did you know Cardinal Ratzinger? If yes, do you think he is being portrayed in an unfair way?
Glendon: I have known Cardinal Ratzinger only through his writings and reputation, but everything I know about him leads me to believe he has been unfairly caricatured. I was very impressed that the respected Vatican journalist John Allen recently apologized publicly for what he now concedes was an unbalanced portrayal in his widely read book on Cardinal Ratzinger. The gap between caricature and reality was evident when the world saw and heard the real Cardinal Ratzinger deliver his remarkable homily at the funeral of his predecessor.
Q: Do you think his past in the Nazi youth movement can damage him, or the relations between Catholics and Jews? Or damage the Church itself?
Glendon: My husband, who is Jewish, tells me that this is simply a non-issue for Jews, who are well aware that Cardinal Ratzinger, like John Paul II, has worked hard to heal historical memories and to improve relations between Catholics and their elder brothers in faith. There are, of course, some dissident Catholics who will seize on any pretext to vilify Church leaders who reject Reformation-style Church reforms. But with respect to young Ratzinger, they will run into opposition, not only from the facts about his life, but from Jews who are becoming indignant at the exploitation of the tragedy of the Jewish people by Catholic dissenters.
Q: Do you think this choice sends a message to the Catholics around the world? Which one?
Glendon: The cardinals' choice, and the rapidity with which they reached consensus, sends a reassuring message that Church renewal and the New Evangelization will continue along the general lines laid down by the fathers of the Second Vatican Council as carried forward by Popes Paul VI and John Paul II.
Q: What is your answer to the critics that accuse the Church not to address issues relevant to our time, such as abortion and gay marriage?
Glendon: The Church does address these issues, proclaiming the truth about the human person in and out of season. The truth is not always easy to hear, especially in a hedonistic and materialistic society. But the Church as an "expert in humanity" knows that we neither help people nor respect their dignity when we fail to tell them the truth.
Q: Which type of Pope will Benedict XVI be? How do you think Benedict XVI can be beneficial to the world?
Glendon: The answer to those questions lie hidden in the future. But we can confidently expect great things from a Pope who is such a brilliant scholar, gifted linguist, experienced pastor and skilled administrator.

First impressions of Deepin 2014Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Tuesday 5th of August 2014 08:22:37 AM Filed under
Deepin 2014 is available in 32-bit and 64-bit x86 builds. The download image for the distribution is approximately 1.5 GB in size. Booting from the project's live media brings up a menu we can navigate with either the keyboard or the mouse pointer. The menu asks us to select our preferred language from a list. Once our language has been selected the system boots to a desktop interface with a starry sky in the background. On the desktop we find an icon for launching the project's system installer. At the bottom of the screen we find a quick-launch bar filled with icons for commonly accessed applications. There are also buttons for bringing up the distribution's application menu and settings panel on this launch bar.

Zorin OS 9 - Linux for Windows usersSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Friday 1st of August 2014 12:39:53 AM Filed under
Zorin OS 9 is based on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 which is the long term support release and this means you will get software updates until 2019.
The unique selling point for Zorin OS is that it is has multiple themes which make it look like the operating system that you are used to using. For instance if you are used to Windows XP then you are able to switch to an XP style interface and if you use Windows 7 you can switch to a Windows 7 interface.
In the core version which is free the available interfaces are Windows XP, Windows 7 and Gnome 2. If you upgrade to the premium version you will get the user interfaces for Unity, Mac OSX and Windows 2000.

Review: Linux Mint 17 "Qiana" MATESubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 31st of July 2014 12:31:33 AM Filed under
That is where my time with Linux Mint 17 "Qiana" MATE ended. I'm slightly disappointed to see the dependency issue crop up with M64Py, considering that the issue seems exclusive to Ubuntu and its derivatives; I'm just as disappointed to see Mupen64Plus not work even in its CLI form despite the absence of any indication of what the problem actually is. These issues of course may well be more the fault of those programs than of this distribution, but I can't deny that the experience was very slightly marred. Those are more personal opinions, though, and I still think that otherwise overall, Linux Mint 17 "Qiana" MATE continues to deliver a solid and reliable experience that is suitable for total newbies to Linux.

Raspberry Pi Model B+ review – a new evolutionSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Thursday 24th of July 2014 08:13:33 PM Filed under
Over the past two years we've come to really grow fond of the design of the Raspberry Pi. It's almost iconic in a way, and we don't think we're the only ones to believe this: as you can have see with the Banana Pi review on the previous page the layout is almost identical to the standard model B.
With the brand new model B+, an enhanced version of the model B revision two, some of hardware has been relocated into a more logical and tidier layout. This is the first thing anyone will notice about the device and it's probably got a lot to do with the new USB ports being very prominent and drawing a critical eye over the rest of the board.
Zorin OS 9 - a step forward for Windows migrantsSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Tuesday 22nd of July 2014 04:56:45 PM Filed under
I think Zorin OS 9 Core is a decent system, and those who it is aimed for, literally Windows migrants, will find everything they want in this operating system.
As this is an LTS edition, it will be supported for a long time. It means you can install it on your computer and forget about upgrade problems, as well as forget about the Microsoft empire.

Quad-core media player runs Kodi/XBMC on OpenElec Linux
SolidRun's tiny, $100 "CuBoxTV" media player runs OpenElec Linux and Kodi (formerly XBMC) on a quad-core i.MX6 SoC, and offers 100Mbps+ video decoding. The CuBoxTV is the first Freescale i.MX6 based media player to run the Kodi (formerly XBMC) multimedia distribution, says Israel-based SolidRun. CuBoxTV is closely based on the company's latest i.MX6 based CuBox mini-PC, which now sells for $80 to $140, depending on the number of Cortex-A9 i.MX6 cores and other features. The CuBoxTV, which is available only with the quad-core i.MX6 SoC, goes for a sale price of $100.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A new economic forecast showing a $1.2 billion surplus will give Minnesota lawmakers more leeway to pursue tax cuts and spending this session.
State finance officials released the updated outlook on Friday. The surplus is bigger than one projected a few months ago.
The forecast represents an estimate of future tax collections compared with spending commitments through June 2015. It's the last forecast that provided before November's election and will guide session decisions.
More details about the state economic conditions were to be discussed at a news conference later.
Gov. Mark Dayton and House leaders say they want fast action on a tax-cut plan of $500 million or more. Senate leaders are taking a go-slower approach and favor putting at least some of the surplus into a rainy-day account.

New Magazine Launch: Jewish Online Mag Tablet
In the midst of recent magazine closures and more layoffs, it's always heartening to see a new pub launch. And even online only content paves the way for more growth within the industry.
So let's welcome Tablet magazine, a daily online Jewish magazine focusing on news, culture and ideas. The site is a "beefed-up, rebranded, refocused update" of Nextbook.org, explained editor-in-chief Alana Newhouse, in her welcome letter on the site. Launched in 2003, Nextbook.org published Jewish arts and culture writing, up until earlier this year. Now, Tablet takes over its mission and brings something new to the table.
"We've expanded our mandate to cover, break, and analyze news and politics, and will work to tie our cultural coverage much more closely to current public discourse," Newhouse explained. "Even more important, Tablet is not simply a read. On our site, you will find lengthy pieces of in-depth journalism and cultural criticism, fiery blog posts, audio podcasts and video clips, beautiful slideshows, and bits of animation."
Newhouse, who joined Tablet from Jewish weekly newspaper the Forward, is joined by a formidable team of journalists, including deputy editor Gabriel Sanders, who has worked for the Forward and Vanity Fair and former Gawker editor and New York magazine editor Jesse Oxfeld, who will serve as executive editor.

Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this?

If you're looking for art and technical achievement, Jak has it...Jak is it. Characters animate so smoothly it actually makes playing other games painful. Painful, I say! And it never stutters, never glitches, never hitches, and never, ever lets up.
This game simply builds on Jak II's winning formula by adding more weapons and abilities, varied kinds of action, and an interesting and well-told story; in short, all the stuff that made its predecessor a great game.
This game looks absolutely gorgeous; it is one of the best looking games out for the Playstation 2. The controls are very responsive and it plays like a dream.
Naughty Dog has done a tremendous job of creating multi-layered personalities that really strike a chord, and plot hooks that will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat up until the explosive finale. [Nov 2004, p.153]
More importantly, the action at the game's heart is only so-so; it's competent in execution, but just doesn't seem terribly compelling to play through. It passes time, but it's not exciting or fun.
What's genuinely disappointing though is that it's all over so quickly... Jak 3 is much, much shorter than its epic predecessor. Indeed, it took us just 10 hours to achieve a 100 per cent rating.
It's all about presentation, and Jak 3 presents the action in an engaging, meaningful way that keeps you glued to the very end. [Dec 2004, p.100]
For all it's technical wizardry, a game is only as good as its gameplay, and that portion of Jak 3 just doesn't measure up.
Though it sticks very closely to the franchise's formula and has a few flaws, the excellent story, great presentation and varied gameplay make this 'final' episode a good one.
At times, Jak 3 seems to be scraping the bottom of the idea barrel...While this final chapter is not the platforming clinic of the first, nor the trendsetter of the second, it is an extremely satisfying finish for the series.
The graphics are buoyed by the exceptional voice acting for the characters in the game.
The one down side is that the shooting still feels pretty basic. The game is a little shorter than you might expect, but goes well over 10 hours and it wraps up the series' story nicely with a pretty crazy twist.
Stunning graphics, an amazing range of highly imaginative and sprawling locations, endless variety, engaging and challenging gameplay, loads of mini-games, cool weapons, super powers, vehicles, races, a grand and exciting storyline, great music, superb voice acting and plenty of humour- did I forget anything?
Jak 3 too often feels like you're merely going through the motions. As the series' conclusion, then, it's a mild disappointment. [Christmas 2004, p.89]
Sure, it's all beautifully put together, and you'll be hard pushed to find an adventure-lite world as well realised as here... However, despite all the creative effort Jak 3 is exactly the sum of its parts, and feels all the more underwhelming because of it. [Christmas 2004, p.118]
A near 20-hour-long rollercoaster ride that stacks missions of perfectly manufactured platforming, tactical shooting and everything in between. [Dec 2004, p.72]
By ironing out the wildly unfair difficulty spikes, cutting down on the dullsville between-mission backtracking, and offering kinder, more frequent mission midpoints, Jak 3 (unlike Jak II) succeeds at making you not want to snap it in half.
After I beat the game I almost cried. Not from disappointment however, because the ending was great and it gave a great conclusion to the epic trilogy.
Compelling and addictive, and far more fun that we'd have expected after slogging through the confounding Jak 2. This is the action platformer refined to perfection.
With Jak 3 everything seems so passé and normal again, as if the well had run dry and the developers had lost their passion for the franchise.
The game's mission-based structures makes for a lot of opportunities to show cutscenes, and Jak 3 takes full advantage of this.
It isn't as evolutionary as "Jak II" was but it is still a fun platformer which puts up a great challenge.
Aside from the occasional piece of ropey responsiveness from the game engine, Jak and Daxter's moves are among the slickest on any console.
Although this game may also be the most difficult game in the series it also still retains all of the fun and enjoyment that has been with this series since the very beginning.
On balance, however, this is a great game that outperforms most others in the field, but it's also obvious - painfully so - that it could have been so much more.
Nowhere near as tough as "Jak II" is. Those of you who pride yourselves on your old-school hardcore platforming skill may find this disappointing, but it's great news for the rest of us. "Hard" does not necessarily mean "good," and most of us don't like feeling as though a game is trying to give us an aneurysm. [Dec 2004, p.104]
Its identical nature to "Jak 2" may leave a nasty taste in the mouth, especially given that this is the send-off to the comical pair.
While it improves upon the chief complaints from the first sequel, it still does not offer much that's fresh besides new weapons and Light Jak powers. [Feb 2005, p.NP-9]
Despite the sweet new weapon upgrades and other new features, Jak 3 didn't have the same impact on me as "Jak II" because it wasn't as fresh - it feels a little too much like extra "Jak II" chapters. It's still great, don't get me wrong - but maybe not as mind-blowingly fantastic as what came before. [Nov 2004, p.70]

Dec 16, 2012This might just be nostalgia talking, but the game is an amazing game that is very well done. Of course there's going to be flaws, but it's an example of a proper third person platforming shooter done to a tee. There's even a good storyline to follow, this series will forever be a huge part of the PS2 library and truly shows the prime of Naughty Dog.… Full Review »
May 7, 2012One of the best PS2 games of all time. Jak 3 conclude's the epic tale of the series with a few twists. I wish they were still making games like this because its one of the most funniest games I've ever played.… Full Review »
Jan 9, 2013The story in the game, is great as always and it follows well Jak II. Cutscenes are funny and amazingly well made. Gameplay is as good as in Jak II. Now Jak has more guns and they are better. I think, that the game has more platforming sections, and that is only a good thing. Jak 3 is an incredibly great game. Naughty Dog, make Jak and Daxter 4.… Full Review »

Apple CEO Tim Cook talks education collaboration with UAE officials — reportAs part of his ongoing whistle-stop world tour, Apple CEO Tim Cook on Thursday spoke with officials from the government of the United Arab Emirates to discuss a range of topics including a possible partnership on new e-learning programs.
Tim Cook meets with UAE officials in Dubai on Thursday | Source: Khaleej Times
Cook met with UAE Minister of Cabinet Affairs Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi and a handful of other officials from both sides in Dubai, according to a report from the Khaleej Times. The group is said to have talked about the development of next-generation educational applications and the possibility of creating an all-new educational model that can be adopted by other nations.
Al Gergawi — who received his postsecondary education in the United States — praised the potential of a relationship with Apple, saying that the company's history of innovation would be an asset as the government looks to set an example of how such public-private partnerships can benefit both parties.
"The UAE leadership's directives are clearly aligned toward establishing partnerships with global organisations, and the strategic partnership with Apple is in line with the directives of Shaikh Mohammed," Al Gergawi said.
Thursday's meeting was the second publicly-acknowledged conversation between Cook and UAE officials since he has been in the Middle East. The Apple chief sat down with Prime Minister Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum in Abu Dhabi last Sunday.
On Topic: General
- Best Buy slashes $100 off iPad Air 2 (from $399), $200 off MacBook Pro with CD/DVD ($899), $150 off iMacs (from $899)
- Natalie Portman rumored for troubled Steve Jobs biopic

TravelPod Member ReviewsKingfisher Oceanside Resort and Spa Courtenay
An amazing place where their commitment to local, sustainable produce and high quality service makes the stay so fantastic.
The rooms are fun - Murphy beds mean that there's more space. But, you hardly need it, considering the lounge chairs by the ocean (or when it's cold, like it is now, you can go in the spa lounge) or the hot tub, steam caves, outdoor heated pool, or more are on offer. The spa is fantastic - amazing hydrotherapy (a MUST!!) with divine massages and services available for reservation.
The food is one of the greatest highlights. Local seafood, cheese, meats, bread...you name it, they have it. I definitely recommend that you book - the restaurant is a favourite with locals and tourists alike, and you may be waiting if you don't have a reservation. But, you MUST eat here...don't cheap out and go to McDonalds in Courtenay!!
Bring some good books and unwind...this place is ideal for getting away without it breaking the bank...and trust me, you'll feel a whole lot happier and relaxed than if you take a stressful flight for 12 hours somewhere else!!

Paving a parking lot: The Pavers
Amanda Bayhi | April 1, 2013
Our sister publication, Equipment World, is featuring a story about pavers used for paving parking lots. It's the first of a two-part series entitled "What it takes to pave a parking lot."
The article uses a hypothetical scenario in which the parking lot is 250,000 square feet in size, with some islands, landscaping and decorative pavers; the project requires 3,500 to 4,000 tons of dense-graded asphalt paved at 3 inches thick; the base is complete and consists of 6 inches of aggregate base course; the job is paved with average speed; and the asphalt leaves the plant at 300 to 325 degrees F.
The article makes several suggestions such as choosing a rubber-tired paver, using heated end gates and considering the plant's production capacity.
Check out Equipment World for more information about the pavers that pave a parking lot.

The stock (ticker: LHA.Germany) can climb about 20% in the next 12 months, if the company maintains its discipline in what remains a difficult environment for European carriers. Right now, management's commitment looks assured.
Lufthansa's Frankfurt-listed shares, which closed Friday at 16.16 euros ($21.11), have jumped more than 50% in the past year, putting them among the top performers in Germany's benchmark DAX index. However, they still trade at only 13 times forecast 2013 earnings of €1.23 per share and just nine times projected 2014 earnings of €1.79.

Lufthansa offers investors a bit more comfort on other metrics, too. The German airline, which has a market value nearing €7.5 billion, trades at an attractive 0.9 times book value, compared with 1.3 times for IAG and 0.5 times for struggling Air France. It also has American depositary receipts (DLAKY) that trade in New York.
John Chisholm, chief investment officer at Acadian Asset Management in Boston, says the short-term outlook for the company seems negative, but he is bullish on the carrier's longer-term prospects. "In addition to the value story, we expect Lufthansa to surprise on the upside due to significant margin improvements over the next few years," he says.
One cause for optimism at Lufthansa, which owns Swiss and Austrian Airlines, as well as low-cost carrier Germanwings, is a plan for restructuring that's intended to contribute €1.5 billion to operating performance by 2015. That figure could be conservative. Management is determined to meet that goal: It already has sold loss-making carrier BMI to IAG and cut jobs, sparking clashes with unions.
It is making a concerted effort to control costs, although there is little it can do about the rising price of fuel. Lufthansa's fuel bill rose €1.1 billion in 2012, to €7.4 billion, or 20% of its operating cost. Saving fuel has a major impact on profitability: A 1% reduction in consumption will add about €74 million to operating profits. Higher fuel costs were a head wind for the company last year, but its profit margin advanced to 10.9% from 8.9% in 2011. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization grew 28%, year on year, to €3.27 billion, as revenue edged ahead 4.9%, to €30.14 billion.
The airline isn't paying a dividend, however. Late last month, Lufthansa told shareholders that it planned to scrap the payout, so it could invest more cash in its business. It paid out €114.5 million in 2011. The move will help Lufthansa protect its investment-grade credit rating, a rarity in its industry. Shareholders have been sympathetic, and the stock has climbed since the announcement.
Part of the money will be used to fund the purchase of new, fuel-efficient planes, which will help Lufthansa deal better with fuel costs. The carrier already has a fleet loaded with the world's most modern aircraft.
If Europe's carriers can maintain their pricing discipline and energy costs don't experience dramatic increases, Lufthansa represents a "cheap opportunity," says Acadian's Chisholm, who reckons the carrier is more attractive than the majority of European companies right now. Analysts at Credit Suisse rate Lufthansa at Outperform with a €19.60 price target, which suggests upside of more than 20%.
On that assumption, Lufthansa can give shareholders a ticket to first-class returns.

The retailer this month announced good results for 2012, although the improvement was largely due to one-off gains from disposals of assets in Asia and Latin America. Sales in those regions are growing, but Carrefour still derives about two-thirds of its sales in Europe.
Sales in France last year edged up 0.5%. That's evidence that management's strategy to revive the retailer in its home market is bearing fruit, although it will take time to ripen. The rest of Europe declined 2.7%. An investment in Carrefour now is a bet that Plassat can continue to make inroads at home while cutting costs and improving his company's fortunes in troubled markets like Spain and Italy.
There's upside of 20% or more for the shares if he succeeds.

ACE Fit Share
June 6, 2013
If you have an interest in fitness, you've probably heard about functional training. Simply put, functional training is strengthening the body as an integrated unit using movements from life and sports. This is a change from the style of strength training that dominated the fitness industry for the last few decades, which treats the human body as a collection of separate parts and attempts to train them individually. For example, a biceps curl with a dumbbell is a classic single-joint, isolated muscle-group exercise—aka: old school. Whereas shimmying up a rope is considered functional training—aka: new school.
Why? Because getting up the rope requires strength from the entire body, not just one muscle group. And by practicing this skill over time, you will actually be able to complete a task—making it to the top of the rope.
Functional training is also time efficient. Because you are strengthening multiple muscle groups simultaneously and completing full-body movements, your overall calorie expenditure is increased. And most importantly, this type of training is FUN!
Functional training exercises lend themselves to the mindset of completing a task or mastering a skill rather than performing a set number of repetitions. For example, in the sand bag exchange exercise described below, your intention is to maintain good technique, but you also want to attack the drill with a sense of urgency. Imagine the bags are full of money and you get to keep as many bags as you can move! This change in perspective from the traditional "rep counting" of strength training can provide you with renewed motivation for your workouts and a feeling of achievement—even if you are not exponentially more wealthy when the task is complete.
I'll take you through five points of focus for strength training and give you a sequence for each engaging, entertaining and functional move, all of which get results. See if you can feel your entire body working as you push, pull, squat and twist through each drill. Focus on completing the task with precision and good technique, moving slowly at first as you learn the exercises and then working more quickly through the combinations. But beware! These exercises may make you chuckle should you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror. You may even find your attention so keenly focused on mastering the skill that you perform several extra reps without even realizing it.

Marian Gaborik Leads New Core Group For Columbus Blue Jackets
A year ago at this time, the Columbus Blue Jackets were a very different looking team. Scott Howson still had a job, and Rick Nash still hadn't been traded despite months of rumors. Fast forward to today, and this is a club that doesn't look anything like that anymore, in more ways than one.
This is now a competitive team. The Blue Jackets hung around in the playoff race until the last day of the regular season, a couple months longer than anyone realistically had expected. Overall, it's a roster that looks much different than it did a year ago. The new front office has overhauled this group, creating a new core where the likes of Rick Nash used to be.
That core is obviously led by Marian Gaborik. After trading Nash, the Blue Jackets really lacked a marketable forward, despite a few solid ones on the roster. Acquiring Gaborik at the deadline was a move that no one had expected, but paid off, as he performed very well in his few weeks with the Jackets.
He's now away from John Tortorella and in a market with much less spotlight on him. Despite the lowered expectations that come with playing in Columbus, he's still the offensive leader of this team, and the leader of this new core that has been established. But he's not the only core member that has been acquired in the past year or two.
A kid like Artem Anisimov is also someone who can be considered a core player for this club. His offensive game is still growing, but he's shown plenty of potential in these last couple of years. When he was healthy this season, he was an effective player for Columbus. He's joined up front by the likes of Cam Atkinson and Matt Calvert, along with the likes of Brandon Dubinsky, who could be considered a part of this core if he can get his goal scoring back on track.
Of course, you can't talk core without mentioning Sergei Bobrovsky. He's a star between the pipes and established himself as an elite starter in the game this season. In front of him, you have guys like Jack Johnson, as well as this year's no. 2 overall pick, Ryan Murray.
All in all, you have to consider this team to have a bright future. They've quickly revamped their roster and are now headed in the right direction, having been headed nowhere with Howson at the helm. This might not be a team to contend for a Stanley Cup next year, but they're a team that is no longer a joke, and should at least be taken seriously moving forward.

Judge denies request to stop live pigeon shoots in Perry
Published On: Oct 23 2012 07:00:00 PM CDT
Updated On: Oct 24 2012 05:55:17 PM CDT
Updated On: Oct 24 2012 05:55:17 PM CDT
A judge has denied a Humane Society police officer's petition to stop a gun club in Berks County from holding live pigeon shoots.
The shooting events at Wing Pointe in Perry Township have attracted protesters in the past. The Humane Society said the shoots violate state law, but the judge said not so.
"I'm disappointed of course, but since we've been trying this for 26 years, we're used to disappointment," said Johnna Seeton. "The sad part is the pigeons keep getting wounded. They keep getting tortured, to no avail."
A bill to ban using live animals as targets has not yet made it through the state legislature.

What Was Your Neighborhood Like in 1940?
The National Archives released 1940 census records, lifting the veil on details for Americans living through the Great Depression.
The National Archives released 1940 census records this morning, lifting the veil on details for Americans living through the Great Depression.
More than 132 million people completed the 1940 census, an estimated 21 million of whom are still alive. The U.S. Census Bureau keeps the individual records confidential for 72 years. Beginning today, researchers can track down incomes, employment and other information for those living in the 1930s.
The release marks the first time the National Archives has published digitized records online. Thousands of volunteers scanned millions of pages to build a database.
The database is not searchable by name, though. You'll need to know the approximate address of where a person lived to look up their record.
Once you have the address, find the corresponding enumeration district using the National Archives' guide. Then, use the enumeration district number to search the records.
The system is likely to be slow today, though, as the records were just released. Records for prior years are available at libraries throughout the country.
Want to know what life was like in your community back then?
The Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research collected and categorized 1940 census records. We've compiled select data into the tool below.

Do you support Amendment 82 for the Big River Steel Mill project?
- Yes. It's a no-brainer, a clear economic boost that will pay the state dividends in the near future.
- Not sure. We need more information on the deal, its investors and how quickly the investment pays off.
- No. Arkansas' too eager to give business too many breaks on projects that might not be worth it.

Are you satisfied with the deal over the fiscal cliff?

- Yes. You've got to start somewhere. This is how compromise works.
- Yes. It keeps taxes low for the middle class and will help grow the economy.
