Today I spotted in my Kansas City Startup Group on Facebook about an amazing opportunity to learn the in and outs of a new startup. Zaarly is looking for 3-4 superstars to go to work right now on a 2-month contract.
You may have heard of this hot new startup that originated around a month ago during Startup Weekend LA, and has taken off like wildfire. They've been in Austin at SXSW testing out their application and the buzz around this company is nuts. The ever present Ashton and Demi are investors, Lightbank (the firm that invested in Groupon) joined the foray, and they have raised over $1 million in funding.
If you haven't heard of Zaarly, here is the summarly via Crunchbase:
Zaarly is a proximity based, real-time buyer powered market. Buyers make an offer for an immediate need and sellers cash in on an infinite marketplace for items and services they never knew were for sale.
The founders are from Seattle and Kansas City and I love to hear about Kansas City companies making things happen in a place normally reserved for Silicon Valley regulars. Congrats to founder and KC resident Bo Fishback for the quick success of his startup. I look forward to seeing it all progress.
Here is a bit more about the jobs via My High Tech Startup:
- Located in Seattle, WA or Kansas City, MO metro areas (where our marketing leads are located currently)
- Experience with web and online tools
- Ability to work full-time, to begin immediately (or as soon as possible)
- Positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond
- Experience with social media, blogging, SEO, SEM
- College degree a plus, but not required
You'll receive a monthly stipend plus the opportunity for a bonus based on attaining key metrics. This is a contract position, but there is the opportunity for a full-time role following the contract based on exceptional performance during this period.
If interested, please send a resume and statement of interest or cover letter to email@example.com. We anticipate beginning as soon as possible.
Go get em! I imagine they'll face the same problem that craigslist had with the sales of drugs and sex, so they'll need to integrate some kind of text based filtering or monitoring system (Zaarly, if you're reading this check out CiiAll – not mine but one of my partners – they already have the tech)! But before you get that in place, I'm going to go ahead and order up her.

Losing the Holiday Season to My Wife
As the father of a mixed-faith child, this is the time of year reserved for my deepest holiday insecurities. I feel like I'm playing catch up from the moment the first Christmas decorations appear in the local mall, i.e., August.
My wife, while not "severely" Christian, does like holding onto the home-décor traditions of her youth. So we have a tree. This is catnip for a little girl, what with its glimmering ornaments and color overload. And don't forget the promise of the coming bounty beneath. What does Hanukkah do to compete? Hanukkah reaches across the aisle and offers half-hearted blue and white ornaments, Stars of David dangling between plush versions of the cross. And as far as gifts go, the tradition of giving presents at Hanukkah only developed so Jewish children wouldn't feel bad at Christmas time.
This adds up to a significant trade deficit between the two holidays. We don't see Christmas-themed dreidels, or red and green latkes. Christmas does just fine on its own. Then, of course, I have to cope with Christmas's advance team (Advent calendars, the Elf on the Shelf), and its vastly superior ground game (Santa goes door-to-door).
Most daunting of all is Christmas's ability, like a great politician, to couch its narrative in fantasy. Few Christmas stories concern the birth of Jesus Christ. Instead, we get stories of redemption (Scrooge), anticipation (The Night Before Christmas), and competitive shopping (that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger). These stories aren't about Christmas, they're about Christmas Day. Hanukkah stories, on the other hand, start and end with the Maccabees. Nothing wrong with that, but one can only have so many variations on a theme, and the attention span of a child is short.
Sometimes I long for those rare years when Hanukkah comes especially early–when it encroaches on Thanksgiving's territory. Better to avoid Christmas altogether.
Then, as I shift into my get-out-the-Hanukkah-vote gear, I think of how a few months ago, in the heat of summer, my daughter wrapped up some of her toys with newspaper and brought them to me one by one. "Happy Hanukkah!" she yelled. Hanukkah was months away, or months behind us, depending on the way you looked at it. But for that day at least, it was on her mind.
So whose hang up is it? Children don't naturally associate Christmas and Hanukkah, any more than they're born knowing their ABCs. To my daughter, they're two stand-alone holidays with separate traditions and meanings. I'm the one who views every spin of the Charlie Brown Christmas CD as a win for the other side. (Though I'm usually the one who plays it. Guilty!)
One day, when the rush of getting presents has faded, she'll learn that Hanukkah is in fact a minor Jewish holiday. Our bones are made during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Those High Holidays come at a time of year that Christianity mercifully leaves to us. Until then, I'll push the fashion shows of Purim and the festivities of Sukkot. And at Hanukkah time, I'll remind myself that my wife and I are a partnership. I don't have to win the holiday season. By getting twice the loot, my daughter does that already.
For more tales from the Hanukkah-Christmas show down, check out the Jews who did Christmas, the Hanukkah bush, and avoiding conflict in an interfaith marriage.

Billerica Town Meeting Alert
May 14th Upadate. We win again! GOAL has learned that article #38 has been withdrawn due to the amount of opposition it faced from law abiding hunters and gun owners.
Great job and thanks to all who voiced their concerns in this matter!
May 5th update. GOAL has learned that article #38 is scheduled to be voted on at the town meeting scheduled for May 13th. Please continue to monitor the schedule for this vote.
April 26, 2010
Gun Owners' Action League (GOAL) has recently been made aware of an article in the Town Warrant to be brought before the Town Meeting in early May, as early as May 4, 2010.
Article #38 on the Final Warrant would drastically change Article VI Police Regulations in the town of Billerica. These newly proposed local regulations would drastically restrict hunters who use firearms within the town limits. Article #38 if adopted would:
All Billerica hunters and gun owners should immediately contact the town meeting members and urge them to vote NO on Article #38. This article casts a public safety issue over hunting and hunters that is simply unfounded. Hunting is one of the safest activities citizens of all ages can take part in.
For nearly a century hunters and gun owners have led the way in supporting professional wildlife management and land conservation efforts. We have also tirelessly supplied the citizens of the Commonwealth with hunter safety education courses and firearm safety courses. The hunting heritage is a respectable safe tradition that should not be tarnished by such cumbersome needless ill conceived regulations. Please act immediately to save your rights in the town of Billerica.

Key Laboratory for Green Chemical Technology of Ministry of Education, School of Chemical Engineering & Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin, China
The recent renewed interest in Fischer–Tropsch (FT) synthesis has largely been driven by the growing demand for clean fuels and the utilization of remote sources of natural and associated gas. Supported cobalt catalysts have been considered the preferred catalyst for the conversion of synthesis gas to long-chain paraffin. Typical FT synthesis catalyst supports are oxide supports like Al2O3, SiO2 and TiO2. However, the use of these supports can generate a strong metal-support interaction and lead to the formation of hardly reducible compounds. As an inert material, carbon materials display special properties like high purity, high mechanical strength, good electrical conductivity, high thermal stability and large surface area. In contrast to oxide supports, only weak interaction between the metal and carbon is evident on carbon supported cobalt catalysts, which can improve FT performance and allow better study of the intrinsic properties of the cobalt active sites.
In this work, bamboo-shaped multiwalled carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen (NB-CNTs) was used as support for preparing the cobalt catalyst. The activity studies revealed that the acid treatment can significantly enhance the activity of the cobalt catalyst supported on NB-CNTs. Nitrogen incorporation and the surface groups formed during the acid treatment have deep influence upon carbon structure, cobalt dispersion and reducibility of the cobalt catalyst. Compared with cobalt catalysts supported on CNTs, NB-CNTs supported cobalt catalyst has an increased activity for FT synthesis though it has smaller surface area.
Keywords: Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, Cobalt catalyst, Nitrogen doped bamboo-shaped multiwalled carbon nanotubes

Sunshine Dried Spaghetti Squash
At the moment my greenhouse is home to a collection of Spaghetti Squash that I just harvested. It was one of the more successful plants I had from the curcubit family this year. The other one was Butternut Squash. But they are not quite ready yet.
I had two Spaghetti Squash plants placed pretty close together and I've harvested around eight squashes. When they are ready the stalk starts to die back a little and some of them actually detach themselves from the plants and just sit there in amongst the leaves that are wilting with the cold.
They start off a sort of pale lemon colour and as they ripen and the skins harden in the sun they go this lovely sunshine yellow. It's a wonderful colour for Autumn.
And it's nice to have something in the greenhouse again. It's been far too empty for far too long.

Is it possible that Jesus goes places that the Church is sometimes afraid to?
I've never shared the following story as a part of my testimony with any detail because it's so close to my heart. As Exodus Media Director Julie Neils can attest, this article was very difficult for me to focus on and finish.
A number of years ago, one friend told me not to share it because people might think that I'm "pro-gay," and they won't understand my saying that I truly loved a man. My attitude today is this: Fine, hold me accountable and let's have that debate. But do not let it stop there, because people are dying.
Morality and social implications are important, but the soul on death's doorstep never having experienced God's grace and forgiveness is much more important than someone wondering if I'm backslidden. I don't care what others think of me so long as we're taking Jesus to "the least of these."

* * *
AIDS as a social issue has been used to scare people. And it should. Over the past 20-plus years there have been valiant efforts to humanize the AIDS issue with regard to African American community, drug abusers and orphans in Uganda. The thing is, when it comes to gay identified males ... the corporate Church has been estranged and reluctant.
As the AIDS pandemic first hit, we in the Body of Christ missed an opportunity to express God's servant heart and grace. In this redemptive void, a few stepped forward to stigmatize homosexual men. Even today, the overarching consistent message coming from the Christian community has been one of stigmatization and warning.
Certainly, it's very appropriate to educate and "warn" about the dangers of sexual relationships outside of a biblical sexual ethic. But I did not and do not think it is appropriate to stigmatize a large group of men whom the Lord loves, dismissing them as unworthy of our love.
The year was 1988. I had just left a popular gay bar in Nashville, and it was very late. I was with the serious party people, as usual, who stayed until the club closed. We were a mess and looking to get in more of a mess. There was a local fast food burger joint everyone not fit to drive ended up at. I was there often.
However, this night in particular stands out because it was the night I learned Ron had died.
One of his best friends, Gary, whom I had not seen in a while, was standing in the long line in front of me. I left my friends and walked up to him and said hello. He said with a big smile, "Hey!" and gave me a hug. I asked him how he was and he said he was good. He didn't have to ask how I was; he could see that I was baked (i.e., high on drugs).
I said, "I know Ron moved to Georgia to be with Paul (his first long term partner)." I could see that Gary looked concerned. So I added, "Don't worry, I'm happy for Ron and hope they're doing well."
Gary's eyes filled up with tears and obviously getting upset. "You don't know?" he asked.
I responded with a perplexed look, "Know what?"
Up to that point AIDS was killing friends of my friends. I remember the rumors of a "gay" disease that had no name but it didn't take long for us to learn that it was HIV and quickly becoming the new sexual pandemic. People literally disappeared from the clubs and our lives leaving us all confused. It was a ferocious virus that had no mercy. We watched, and still watch, how this small organism can destroy lives, challenge the will to live, orphan children around the globe and rob us of our family and friends.
Nowadays, many people are able to live with the virus for quite a while. It was quite a different story 20-plus years ago. Most died, not ever knowing what was truly killing them. Ron died not knowing he had AIDS until his final week here on earth.
In the middle of a grease pit fast food place at 3:15 a.m. on a Sunday morning, Gary was weeping as I literally melted down into tears and anguish. Ron, the only partner I thought I had truly loved up to that point, had died of AIDS.
Memories of him as a healthy vibrant man juxtaposed with what I had seen of the men that AIDS had taken before ... I just couldn't make any sense of it.
I literally don't remember what happened next except in brief flashes of still pictures among the sounds of grieving. I remember Gary crying and helping me find a seat. I remember my friends looking in my eyes asking me if I was OK. I remember that the whole place got silent with shared mourning and empathy. The "party" crowd might not have all known Ron but they all knew what AIDS was and this usually boisterous crowd was eerily humbled.
As the information of what was happening rippled through the line you could see other faces in pain or concern. It became painfully quiet, if only for a moment, with only the sounds of frying burgers and weeping to punctuate the mourning.
Then, I remember the moment I realized that I was at high risk to have gotten the virus from Ron. The dawning horror of this revelation is especially traumatizing. It's traumatizing to realize your death sentence might have been handed to you without you knowing. This realization mixed with the loss of Ron profoundly impacted my life; it still affects my heart deeply today.
At this pivotal point, I was among the only friends I had at the time: the gay community. I know that after so many years and a complete worldview shift, I still share that grief with them.
While some were claiming this was God's curse against homosexuals, my gay friends wiped away my tears and held my hand as I waited on test result that I just knew were going to give me bad news. Back then you had to wait three months for even a hint as to whether you were carrying the virus and six months to know for sure. My first test results came back as "inconclusive." I could relate to others facing life threatening situations; "inconclusive" is not an answer easily dealt with.
Eventually, my test results consistently came back negative. You would think with all of the turmoil going on around this event, I would be more careful. After a while, the fact that I was a drug addict started to overrule my sobering experiences. I'll never forget one brave man living with the virus getting in my face and saying, "If you want to live you better quit acting like a slut! If some redneck doesn't kill you AIDS will!" This man was HIV+ and dating one of my best friends at the time, who had also recently been diagnosed as HIV+. Between Ron and this man's exhortation, I know the value of the gay identified community holding itself accountable. Because of the self-imposed accountability within my gay community, I was not a "slut" for very long.
The love of friends gave them the ability to get in my face where the rantings of TV preachers fell on deaf ears. And the love of friends gave me the ability to hear them and take their counsel to heart.
It seems that the pain of the initial battle against the AIDS pandemic is being forgotten in the gay community. This caused Matt Foremen, outgoing Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force recently to state,
"Internally, when these numbers come out, the 'established' gay community seems to have a collective shrug as if this isn't our problem. Folks, with 70 percent of the people in this country living with HIV being gay or bi, we cannot deny that HIV is a gay disease. We have to own that and face up to that."
I applaud Mr. Foreman for being brave enough to step forward and hold the gay community accountable.
I'm on a different path today in that I no longer identify as gay or hold a gay-centered worldview. However, if it hadn't been for some loving gay men in my life, I might not have lived long enough to have made the choices that eventually led me to Christ. I believe the Lord sovereignly used some in the gay community to preserve my life to the point of engaging the Christian community. This then eventually led me to eternal life found in Christ.
Do you think Christ used a gay man's hands to wipe away my tears at 3:15 a.m. in a Nashville restaurant, as I mourned the loss of Ron and feared for my own life? Do you think Christ was using a gay man's hands to hold my own as I grappled with "inconclusive" test results? Is it possible that Jesus goes places that the Church is sometimes afraid to?
I do.

This article describes aching or other discomfort in the elbow that is not related to direct injury.
Pain - elbow
Elbow pain can be caused by a variety of problems. A common cause in adults is tendinitis, an inflammation and injury to the tendons -- soft tissues that attach muscle to bone.
People who play racquet sports are most likely to injure the tendons on the outside of the elbow. This condition is commonly called tennis elbow. Golfers are more likely to injure the tendons on the inside of the elbow.
Other common causes of elbow tendinitis are gardening, playing baseball, using a screwdriver, or overusing your wrist and arm.
Young children commonly develop "nursemaid's elbow," usually when someone is pulling on their straightened arm. The bones are stretched apart momentarily and a ligament slips in between, where it becomes trapped when the bones try to snap back into place. Children will usually quietly refuse to use the arm, but often cry out with any attempt to bend or straighten the elbow. This condition is also called an elbow subluxation (a partial dislocation).
Other common causes of elbow pain are:
Gently try to move the elbow and increase your range of motion. If this hurts you, or you cannot move the elbow, call your doctor or nurse.
Call your doctor or nurse if:
Your doctor or nurse will examine you, and carefully check your elbow. You will be asked questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:
Treatment depends on the cause, but may involve:

GREENSBORO -- After 50,000 visitors and six days of rides, food and fanfare, tragedy follows this year's Greensboro Youth Council's annual carnival.
Officials say 42-year-old Michael Douglas Cook, of Columbus, Ga. and another unnamed worker fell from the ferris wheel while working to take it apart. It happened around 2 a.m. Monday. The men were a part of a five man crew with a Georgia-based carnival, Drew Exposition.
"We are assisting them. They are assisting us and doing an investigation into exactly what happened and the chain of events that caused these injuries," said Cpl. Mike Matthews.
Early reports suggest a broken cable may have caused the fall.
Drew Exposition is sending a company inspector to the site from his home in Florida. In a statement, the company said that it is saddened by the loss of one of its workers and the injury of another.

On Big Brother, Survivor and The Real World, producers stick the contestants in a virtual fishbowl to find out what happens, well, when people stop being polite and start getting real.
CBS' Under the Dome is essentially the same premise, except that in this case, the fishbowl is literal and the show is fictional, based on the novel by Stephen King. It's the residents of Chester's Mill, an ordinary small town, who find themselves trapped under a dome of unknown proportions with no hope of escape.

Malaysia's ringgit gained, headed for a third monthly advance, on speculation a decline in energy prices will support the nation's export-led economic recovery.
Crude-oil prices fell for a second day, dropping 0.1 percent to $108.45 a barrel in New York, after hitting a nine- month high last week. The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index halted a two-day drop before the European Central Bank allots a second round of three-year loans to regional financial institutions.
"There is some relief from the fall in oil prices," said Sim Moh Siong, a currency strategist at Bank of Singapore Ltd. "The market is expecting a further boost from the liquidity injection from the European Central Bank."
The ringgit added 0.5 percent to 3.0100 per dollar as of 4:09 p.m. in Kuala Lumpur, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The currency has advanced 1 percent this month.
Five-year government bonds were little changed. The yield on the 4.262 percent notes due September 2016 held at 3.22 percent, according to Bursa Malaysia. That was the highest level since Jan. 18.

Hair Transplant Raleigh
If you're seeking a qualified hair transplant surgeon in Raleigh, North Carolina, or a qualified hair transplant surgeon near Raleigh, North Carolina, our directory of qualified hair transplant surgeons can be of great assistance during your due diligence phase.
When selecting a hair transplant surgeon, it's important to understand that the cost of the hair transplant surgery and the location of the hair transplant clinic are only a few factors in making a decision as to which surgeon to choose for your hair transplant surgery.
Let's look at the location of the clinic first. When considering the location of hair transplant clinics, even if there isn't a qualified hair transplant surgeon located in Raleigh, NC, several hair transplant surgeons offer travel incentive programs. As it's definitely much more convenient to have surgery on a local level, choosing a highly qualified hair transplant surgeon should be the most important factor by far. The result of your hair transplant is something you will live with for the rest of your life.
However, even if you locate a surgeon in Raleigh, NC, it's highly recommended that you speak with a bunch of different surgeons, whether they are located in Raleigh, North Carolina or not.
Secondly, when considering the cost of a hair transplant, don't just go with a hair transplant surgeon that has the best price per graft. Once again, choosing a highly qualified hair transplant surgeon should be the most important factor by far.

We know this came as a shock to some of its Republican critics, but the U.S. 9th Circuit of Appeals has injected some common sense into the debate about Arizona's support, or lack thereof, for the education of students who don't speak English as their first language.
The appellate court intervened in a 14-year-old lawsuit that claims Arizona has failed to adequately fund English language learner programs. A federal judge said this was true in 2000, but the case has continued as the lawyers, various state officials and two trial judges have argued about exactly much additional money is needed.
A three-judge panel said Thursday that U.S. District Judge Raner Collins was wrong to find the state was in contempt of court after the Arizona Legislature and Gov. Janet Napolitano didn't comply last year with his order to come up with a final plan to boost state dollars for local school districts. Collins imposed daily fines of $1 million to pressure Napolitano and lawmakers. The total amount of the fines reached $21 million before Napolitano finally allowed to go into law, without her signature, a Republican-crafted proposal heavily criticized by Democrats.
But the 9th Circuit said Collins shouldn't have held the state in contempt last year until he considered what the state already had changed in education policy for English learners since 2000.
In that time, Arizona voters have decided by initiative to require language immersion instead of bilingual instruction for English learners. The Legislature raised special school district funding from $150 for each English learner to the current $355. And Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards and No Child Left Behind went into effect, providing new incentives for local schools to excel at teaching these students or risk state and federal sanctions.
There is no magic dollar amount that will suddenly bring English learners to the same level as their peers. We also must hold schools accountable for adopting the best instruction techniques and provide parents more school choices because different children have different learning needs.
The 9th Circuit didn't reach an opinion on whether the new English learner plan resolves the fundamental issues of the original lawsuit. But it's clear Collins will have to reconsider his rejection of the latest plan as he evaluates for the first time what the state has been doing recently.

Texas Chainsaw 3D Trailer Isn't As Cool As the Poster
The poster for the "true" Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel debuted a few weeks ago out of nowhere and now we have a first look at the trailer. And I'm not sure if it's too early to judge this film, but this trailer is very unimpressive. Usually the trailers for scary movies are supposed to be..you know…scary and illicit some sort of "Woahhh" when the trailer ends. But, all this got from me was a "Meh". I could probably take my goddaughters to see this and just tell them not to repeat any of the bad language they hear. The idea for this trailer was better than how it was, actually, executed. They play some slow, but non threatening sounding folk song that's supposed to contrast with what's happening in the movie. They flash some scenes of iconic images from the original films like the mask and the chainsaw and we're supposed to get all hyped up like we're looking at Luke rebuilding his lightsaber. But, the trailer just doesn't go anywhere or do anything.
The poster got me hyped about this sequel. I, already, enjoyed the last two Chainsaw films that were released and I thought this one could only be better or just as good. But this just looks like an MTV original series based on the Chainsaw franchise. Cue Trey Songz, please.
Maybe they'll do better on the next full trailer. What do you think?

BELMONT-SUING Nov-11-2011 (900 words) xxxn
Catholic college sues federal government over contraception mandate
By Patricia L. Guilfoyle

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (CNS) -- Belmont Abbey College is suing the federal government over a new regulation that requires employer health insurance plans to provide free coverage of contraceptives and sterilization, even if it may be contrary to their religious beliefs.
The civil lawsuit was filed Nov. 10 in U.S. District Court in Washington by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, a Washington-based nonprofit, public-interest law firm that is representing the Catholic liberal arts college in Belmont.
In its lawsuit, Belmont Abbey College argues that the contraception regulation forces it to violate its religious beliefs or pay a severe fine.
Named in the suit are the federal departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and Treasury and their respective heads: Secretaries Kathleen Sebelius, Hilda Solis and Timothy Geithner.
"A monk at Belmont Abbey may preach on Sunday that pre-marital sex, contraception and abortions are immoral, but on Monday, the government would force the same monk to pay for students to receive the very drugs and procedures he denounces," said Hannah Smith, senior legal counsel at the Becket Fund, in a statement issued Nov. 10.
The new contraception mandate is part of implementing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, which sets up new preventative health care coverage specifically for women at no cost. That coverage includes services such as mammograms, prenatal care and cervical cancer screenings. But it also mandates free contraception, sterilizations and drugs (such as ella and "Plan B") considered by the church to be abortifacients -- all of which are contrary to Catholic teaching.
The mandate is what the federal government terms an "interim final rule," which has "the full force and effect of law." A 60-day comment period followed Sebelius' Aug. 1 announcement of the mandate and proposed exemption. That period ended Sept. 30. After such a comment period, a federal agency could issue a revised final rule "or confirm the interim rule as final."
For a religious employer that does not want to offer such services, the regulation written HHS sets out a religious exemption: An exempt religious employer is one that "(1) has the inculcation of religious values as its purpose; (2) primarily employs persons who share its religious tenets; (3) primarily serves persons who share its religious tenets; and (4) is a nonprofit organization" under specific sections of the Internal Revenue Code.
Catholic leaders across the country have decried this exemption as too narrowly drawn -- particularly parts 2 and 3 -- and violates the church's religious liberty.
During a 60-day comment period that followed the regulation's announcement Aug. 1, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Catholic universities and schools, hospitals and charitable organizations voiced loud objections to the mandate, which is expected to go into effect in August 2012.
The church's ministries do and should go beyond serving and employing Catholics, they say.
From food pantries to adoption services, refugee resettlement and more, the Charlotte diocese does not scrutinize clients' religious tenets before they help them. The diocese also hires people of all religious faiths, and diocesan schools enroll non-Catholic students.
Belmont Abbey College has 1,700 students and more than 200 full-time employees, not all of whom are Catholic. So, unless the college restricts its enrollment and hiring to only Catholics, it would not qualify for the religious exemption to apply to the health services and health insurance it offers to those students and employees when it renews its health insurance policy in January 2013.
Abbot Placid Solari, chancellor of Belmont Abbey College, said in a written statement Nov. 11 that the college's board of trustees "voted without dissent" to sue the federal government because the contraception regulation "is in direct opposition to the public and authoritative teaching of the Catholic Church. We therefore believe this is an egregious infringement on the part of the federal government of the right of free exercise of religion guaranteed to all American citizens by the Bill of Rights."
Added the Becket Fund in its statement, "Belmont Abbey, as a small Catholic liberal arts college, teaches that contraception, sterilization and abortion are all against God's law. The government mandate forces Belmont Abbey and others to make the Hobson's choice of either violating their deeply-held religious beliefs or paying a heavy fine and terminating their health insurance plans for employees and students."
In its lawsuit, the college states: "The government's mandate unconstitutionally coerces Belmont Abbey College to violate its deeply-held religious beliefs under threat of heavy fines and penalties. The mandate also forces Belmont Abbey College to fund government-dictated speech that is directly at odds with its own speech and religious teachings.
"Having to pay a fine to the taxing authorities for the privilege of practicing one's religion or controlling one's own speech is un-American, unprecedented, and flagrantly unconstitutional."
This legal battle over health insurance coverage and religious liberty is not new to Belmont Abbey College.
The Becket Fund also represented the college in a 2009 dispute with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission over whether denying to pay for birth control in its employee health plan constituted gender discrimination.
The EEOC initially ruled in March 2009 that the complaint by eight faculty members over the health insurance policy was baseless. In July 2009, the EEOC reopened the complaint, prompting college president William Thierfelder to vow he would close the college rather than be forced to offer or subsidize health services that contradict Catholic teaching. The case remains unresolved.

Huawei not interested in buying BlackBerry, or anybody else, after all
Taking a step away from the flood of news and content around the newcomers from IFA 2013, we're back again on the topic of acquisitions and mergers. You've probably heard all about this already, but Microsoft officially acquired Nokia's mobile phone division, along with a slew of patents for a reported $7.2 billion. Among the many reason that the Redmond-based software giant had for this particular move, a strangely familiar argument was mentioned: Microsoft was hurrying to buy Nokia, if only to block out others from doing the same.
So what's Huawei's and BlackBerry's role in all of this? None, and that's the point that the company wants to get across, loud and clear. Especially now that the topic of acquisitions is back on the agenda, all the while a struggling company like BlackBerry could offer a very similar deal to would-be buyers with deep pockets (like Huawei). And while the China-based manufacturer could definitely use some more publicity, it's obvious that the company wants to be kept out of any acquisition talks by cementing the notion that the it is doing fine as it is:
And it has paid Huawei to do just that. While still mostly barred from a serious entry into the Western hemisphere, the Chinese company has done very well for itself – in fact, it's in a three-way tie of sorts with LG and local rival ZTE over who the third largest smartphone manufacturer is.

If they bought bb,it is possible that they may make a loss,since western governments would suspect that Huawei will do China backed espionage within bb's governmental contracts

i bet
blackberry would be sold at a better price as compared to nokia
5. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
For what? :D
6. uchihakurtz (Posts: 277; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Samsung should buy Blackberry for its patents, then troll Apple as usual with more ammunitions.
7. Ronny666 (Posts: 108; Member since: 08 Jun 2013)
Both BB and Nokia should JV and die together.
11. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
Why Nokia should die?
8. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 6740; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
Why would Huawei wants too buy BB? They don't have that much money than Black Berry themseleves
9. Ronny666 (Posts: 108; Member since: 08 Jun 2013)
Maybe u didn't realise that Huawei is 3rd largest smartphone maker after Apple. They can definitely afford to buy over Blackberry but it is just waste of their money.
10. AfterShock (Posts: 2985; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
An auto manufacturer should buy BB and use phone as glorified car remote.
17. Armor (Posts: 49; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
Blackberry also owns QNX which is the world leader in the auto entertainment industry. They are already in Bentleys and are talking with Mercedes. But far from a car remote, They are much more.
12. COLAPSEDLUNGMAN (Posts: 16; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
they should just stop making blackberry
16. Armor (Posts: 49; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
WHY!! Are you scared of them?
13. ZeroCide (Posts: 700; Member since: 09 Jan 2013)
Huawei is all talk. Wouldn't trust their phones either
14. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I would trust it more than any smartphone made in U.S.
15. Armor (Posts: 49; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
Why don't some of you try a BB10 device and see how much better it is then any other device on the planet. We don't need them to go down. The more company's competing the better it is for the consumer. The fewer we have, means that they do not have to innovate because no one else sells phones.

BLM Accepts General Moly Reclamation Bonding For Mt. Hope Project And Grants Authorization To Proceed With Construction
General Moly, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE MKT and TSX: GMO), a U.S. -based molybdenum mineral development, exploration and mining company, announced through its 80% owned Mt. Hope subsidiary, Eureka Moly, LLC, that the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") has accepted its reclamation bonding for the Mt. Hope Project and has granted authorization to proceed with surface disturbing activities.
A group of surety underwriters arranged by Marsh USA Inc. were assembled to satisfy financial guarantees required by the BLM's reclamation cost estimate in the Mt. Hope Record of Decision ("ROD"). The surety program has been funded with an initial cash payment of $5.6 million and requires additional cash funding of $11.6 million through the construction process for a total of $17.2 million which is in alignment with the net cash bonding cost included in the August 2012 capital estimate. This total covers the first three years of estimated surface disturbance at Mt. Hope, and is subject to ongoing evaluation thereafter. With the surety program in place and the initial contribution funded, the BLM has authorized that surface disturbance in conformity with the Record of Decision may proceed.
Bob Pennington, Chief Operating Officer of General Moly, said "After receiving funding from POS-Minerals Corporation, our joint venture partner on the Mt. Hope Project, and obtaining authorization from the BLM on reclamation bonding, we will now move beyond our ongoing cultural clearance program and initiate light construction activities including early well field development and clearing and grubbing as we prepare for heavy construction in the spring."
The State of Nevada Division of Environmental Protection issued a Reclamation Permit for the Mt. Hope Project on November 19, 2012. The Reclamation Permit authorized surface disturbance and construction of facilities. The permit was issued on the basis of a site specific application detailing the reclamation methods to be used to return the land to safe and stable conditions and a productive post-mining land use. The Reclamation Permit also approved the reclamation cost estimate of approximately $73 million and established financial guarantee requirements based on this estimate.

The number of malaria deaths worldwide peaked in 2004, with an estimated 1.8 million deaths worldwide a ccording to the WHO.
But the efforts of health workers, NGOs and governments around the world have turned that number around. The WHO reported 800 000 deaths worldwide in 2010 and approximately 627 000 malaria deaths in 2012.
I am fortunate that I'm still young enough, God willing, I want to be there when malaria is eliminated. I want to be a part of that.
Health hero Fredros Okumu
However, Africa continues to bear the brunt of the disease, with 80 percent of deaths occuring on the continent.
In Tanzania, research scientist Fredros Okumu is determined to bring an end to the disease that has a long and devastating effect on his community.
Fredros works at the Ifakara Health Institute, Africa's centre of research into malaria which is engaged in innovative study and experiment, yielding significant interventions.
Prevention, control and perhaps a vaccine against the parasite that causes the disease are all part of the mission and trials are underway which, should they prove positive, could be a huge health breakthrough.
It is a race between science and a rapidly evolving mosquito , with human effort at its heart.

Future Mars rovers could have smaller, cheaper and more
sensitive life-detecting instruments, thanks to a new invention
unveiled by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho
National Laboratory (INL).
The INL team has found a new way to generate complex electric
fields, which will make it easier to direct ions, or charged
particles, along specified paths. The researchers just filed a
patent application for their Total Ion Control method, a key
advance in the field of mass spectrometry. TIC-based equipment
could make the Mars Organic Molecule Analyzer (MOMA) -- part of the
ExoMars mission scheduled for launch in 2018 -- a better
life-detecting tool.
"This is a novel way to shape electric fields for moving ions
around," said INL engineer and TIC co-inventor Tim McJunkin. "It
can improve MOMA, and it could improve commercial instruments."
Image Courtesy INL
MOMA, a mass spectrometer, will vaporize and ionize Martian dirt
with a laser. The charged particles will flow through an inlet,
down a channel and into a trap, where MOMA will scan them for signs
of life like amino acids. To get ions into the trap, most mass
spectrometers rely heavily on air flow created by pumps. This
system isn't ideal for Mars missions, though; pumps are heavy and
TIC technology could assist MOMA. TIC-based inlets generate
intricate electric fields that efficiently guide ions into the
trap, greatly reducing the need for pumps.
Several other technologies attempt to do the same thing, but
INL's invention boasts many advantages. First, TIC-based inlets
should be cheaper and more robust, because they're simpler to
construct and have fewer parts. Other devices that generate
elaborate, complex fields tend to be elaborate and complex
themselves. They have multiple, precisely configured electrodes,
interspersed with insulators. But TIC-based solutions use only a
single electrode and don't need insulators. They can be made from
many different semi-conducting materials. And the fields TIC inlets
generate are incredibly flexible, so they can be incorporated into
many spectrometer designs.
Space missions demand low-weight, low-power equipment; INL's
invention hits that mark, too. TIC-based inlets weigh less than an
ounce, and they require 100 milliwatts of power at most -- 1,000
times less than a 100-watt light bulb.
INL says its TIC also gathers 10 times as many ions into the
trap as commercially available inlets do. Such efficiency is key to
MOMA, since any signs of life in the Martian soil will likely be
scarce, if they exist at all.
The INL researchers are talking to the U.S. MOMA team about
incorporating the technology into MOMA. But the invention could
also find many other applications, according to INL scientist and
TIC co-inventor Jill Scott. "This is an enabling technology," she
said. "If you want to move ions around cheaply and robustly, and
without much weight, this is the way to do it."

Nazdar - 5/26/2010Nazdar Launches Lyson 1302 Series Ink For Mimaki JV3
Nazdar, the largest manufacturer of screen and digital printing inks in North America, announces the release
of Lyson 1302 series digital solvent ink for Mimaki JV3 printers. This new ink series has low-odor properties and
complements the existing Lyson 1300 series for JV3 printers.
Lyson 1302 series ink was formulated to mimic the properties and color gamut of Mimaki's current SS2 ink set.
The new ink is available in 440 ml cartridges and 1-liter bulk containers.
The Lyson 1302 series is fully compatible with Lyson 1300 series ink. The two product lines can be intermixed to
facilitate transition from one ink set to the other. Lyson inks are available worldwide through Nazdar's authorized
distributor channels.
Richard Bowles, Nazdar Vice President and General Manager, commented, "Our Lyson 1300 series ink is one
of our most popular products. However, we identified a need for a lower-odor version because more and more
printers are located in corporate and retail environments." Bowles added, "The new Lyson 1302 series is an
excellent choice for such locations."
Nazdar Lyson inks are an economical alternative to OEM solvent and UV-curable inks. Nazdar provides an
equipment and application warranty that covers both hardware and output. Users of Nazdar Lyson inks can
save up to 30% on ink costs when compared to OEM ink usage.

Lately I've been having some serious{-}music discussions with someone and it came back to me the part in Songs of Earth and Power, the reference to Scriabin. (For those of you who aren't familiar, Alexander Scriabin was the first musical 'mystic', and knew it; he wanted to save the world with his music.)
In any case, being of similar ilk as he, it comes back to amaze that you, and so singularly in my reading experience, were aware of him.
From: Greg Bear
Date: 08/14/2006
Scriabin is kind of neglected nowadays, isn't he? But his belief that music could bring on a transcendent state fit in well with the theme of the book--and I've always enjoyed listening to him.
From: Brian S
Location: Houston
Date: 09/28/2006
Although I have had several ecstatic experiences with music, I tend to be a bit skeptical whenever someone speaks of transcendence; what does it mean, really! Some experience other than the normal?
I had a Jimmy Hendrix double album on which he stated that he believes that music had healing qualities to it. Interesting point of view given his musical style, and how he ended his life.
Mr. Bear, I've really enjoyed the Eon series as well as Darwin's Radio/Children. I look forward to reading others of your work.
From: Greg Bear
Date: 09/28/2006
Thanks, Brian! I've experienced terrific moments with music as well--and that's what made the epiphanic experience so extraordinary. It began while I was sitting in an airplane, and continued for well over a month, off and on--music or no music. It was its own thing, and it was extremely powerful, beyond my conscious control, and very different from the aesthetic high produced by art or music. Causes? Other than the obvious and often-chosen suggestion that it's God, I haven't a clue.
