A Baby Crater is Born
On May 2, 2006, a baby crater was born on the Moon. NASA says its about 14 meters wide, 3 meters deep and precisely one month, eleven days old. What a baby!
NASA astronomers watched a meteoroid hit the Moon's Sea of Clouds (Mare Nubium) with 17 billion joules of kinetic energy.
Bill Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office in Huntsville, Alabama said that the impact created a bright fireball, which was video-recorded using a 10-inch telescope. Stuff hits the Moon all the time," said Cooke--but this is the best-ever recording of an explosion in progress."
Show me the impact and tell me the full story!

DTCC Student - page 5
Just wondering if there are any other Del Tech students out there??? I go to owens campus.:hatparty: :hatparty:... Read More
- 0Sep 20, '08 by Homemaker4nowThanks MIC for the info. I know Terry campus has a ruberic because I spoke with an advisor. She told me that I have a good chance in getting in because I have all A's(A&P I & II, clinical math, Micro). I have to take the NLN soon. However, I am applying to other RN programs as well. I would like to get into Terry because of the evening program. It works out because I have a family.
- 0Sep 21, '08 by MIC!Homemaker4now, just make sure you focus on the NLN. But, I'm sure you'll make the clinical list. Because I don't know anybody who has all "A" grades in MicroBiology, Clinical Math, A&P I, and A&P II. I'm sure there are some that do have those same grades, but not many. You are very smart by applying to other programs at the same time. This will leave you with options. My wife and I are doing the evening clinical program also. It was a natural fit for both of our schedules. Even though it takes longer to complete clinicals if you opt for the evening program.
And BTW what is a ruberic??
- 1Sep 21, '08 by Homemaker4nowWhat I was told that the higher the score on the ruberic like a 16 is good. For example, if you get an A in A&P I you get a 4, B get a 3, C you get a 2. You get this score for your A&P's & Applied Clinical Mathematics. However, for English Comp.& Critical Reading & Thinking you get 1 point. The NLN also gets a points value from 2-6 depending on your composite.The higher the score the better. I met a Delaware student applying to a program over here NJ at GCC is accepting apps. for the LPN to RN. She told me it's too hard to get into DelTech. I just pray I get in because I really need the evening program.
- 0Sep 23, '08 by MIC!Getting into the evening clinical program is not as hard as getting into the day clinical program. Because most people prefer to go to school during the day. While people who have full time jobs, family, and otherwise difficult schedules choose evening clinical program. And as you already know some of the student body either live with their parents or have no responsibilities during the day.
- 0Jan 11, '09 by lillypad274I'm at Stanton Campus DTCC. It wasn't too hard so far, but they say it gets a LOT harder after 141 and 142.
- 0Oct 15, '12 by Knights2014If you are starting from the beginning, definitely go to DTCC to do your pre-requisites. They are cheaper and easier to score A's. But after that, you should apply to a BSN program, just because you will be more prestigious. Most hospitals are trying to get rid of the Associate degree nurses, so if you are looking for a secure spot, I highly recommend applying to a BSN program, let it be Jefferson, Neumann, etc. Good luck to all

Weigel family raises top 10 horses
Tom, John, and Tom's son, Brian, Weigel, of rural Bryant have a lot to be proud of. Earlier this summer they competed in the Hoosier Palomino Show in New Castle, judging for the best in Indiana and their horses won Grand Champion (Mandy) and Reserve Grand Champion (Belle).
Then, the week of the July 31 they went to Tulsa, Oklahoma to show their two Palomino horses at the World Championship Horse Show. They knew they had raised great horses, but they didn't know just how great they truly were. Their two horses "Mandy by Mister†and "Belle†were awarded eighth (Belle) and fifth (Mandy) in the world.
They got started showing horses around 20 years ago after Tom Weigel sold their cattle after 15 years of milking and bought a few riding horses. They transformed their heifer barn into a horse stable and Weigel gradually began to buy show horses and he and his family are now hooked. Brian is the showman for the horses and has learned from countless years in 4-H showing cattle.
"Brian is really an excellent showman, we are always so proud of how well he does during competitions,†said Tom. Tom and his brother John (JP) are the care takers, cleaners, and overall instructors while at a competition.
All the men would agree that if they aren't inside the house they are always out in the barn tending to the horses.
"We give them baths about every other day, groom them every day, train them every day, and let them run around the arena every day,†said Tom and John.
"We even paint their hooves, clip their eyelashes, shave their whiskers, and braid their tail so they are in tip-top shape for a competition,†says Tom. "My wife Pat wakes up at 4 a.m. before a competition and bands and braids the horses so they are ready to go for the day.â€
"We only keep our two show horses here, the rest of our horses are at Brian's house,†Tom continued.
"The horses are judged on confirmation, voice commands, and overall appearance.â€
They are very particular about the kind of horses they breed. They don't have a stallion so all of their breeding is done artificially from all over the nation from elite studs.
"Our breeder is Dr. Charlie Hartzell and he always does such a great job for us,†they said.
"We always try to make colts due at or around January 1 that way they are the perfect age when it comes time to show them,†said Tom. "In fact, we have one due this upcoming January.â€
"I think the most rewarding part of raising the horses is to be around them and watching them grow and become better. It's a very rewarding hobby,†says John.
It's very important to plan well in advance for the competition. The Weigels start planning in February or March and apply for all the competitions. To participate in the World Championship there are lots of fees among other things
"The fee for entering Mandy was $200 with an additional $200 in stable costs and $300 for Belle and $200 stable costs,†Tom said.
"We also put them on electrolytes and lots of vitamins so they are in the best health,†says Tom.
This is a true family activity and these three men get to spend a lot of time together.
"My favorite part is getting to spend lots of quality time together. When you are out on the road and at competitions there isn't anything else to do than to talk to each other and I am so thankful and blessed to get to spend so much time with my son and brother,†said Tom. "The rest of our family is very supportive as well and they try to make as many competitions as possible.
"We get along great, we make all our decisions as a team and we agree 99 percent of the time. Arguing or disagreements has never been a problem for us regardless of how often we are around each other,†said Tom
"This isn't the end of our horse competitions,†John added.
"Getting in the top 10 in the world was my Bucket List but now my new goal is to get number one in the world,†said Tom. "I hope that even after my brother and I retire our family we keep the tradition going and my granddaughters and son will keep competing.
"For now, we're preparing for another show at New Castle coming up and our fall competitions.â€

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Colorado man sentenced to 16 years for rape, kidnapping
A 38-year-old businessman from Colorado was sentenced to 16 years in prison for rape and kidnapping in King County Superior Court on Friday.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Courtney Wayne Dawson tried to buy his way out of rape and kidnapping charges with $5,000 and a plane ticket to Las Vegas.
But his young victim would have none of it, and as a result Dawson was sentenced Friday to 16 years in prison after a hearing in King County Superior Court.
The Seattle woman, who is now 20, testified and was praised by prosecutors for her courage.
Dawson, a 38-year-old Colorado businessman, pleaded guilty last month to first-degree rape, first-degree kidnapping and bribing a witness. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors agreed to dismiss a rape charge filed in an Oregon court involving a 50-year-old woman who was raped at knife point by Dawson two years ago, prosecutors told King County Superior Court Judge Timothy Bradshaw.
Dawson's Seattle victim, who was working as a prostitute when Dawson picked her up in a rented SUV, had both her hands slashed with a knife during the August 2011 assault.
After his arrest in Colorado and extradition to King County, Dawson attempted to bribe the woman through another jail inmate who knew her.
The woman refused to recant because she was afraid Dawson would go free to rape, and maybe even kill, the next young woman who climbed into his car, court records say.
During Friday's sentencing hearing, Bradshaw called Dawson's conduct "misogynistic (and) dehumanizing."
"To add insult to injury," Dawson's bribe was "an attempt to prostitute the criminal-justice system itself," Bradshaw said.
Because Dawson pleaded guilty to a violent sex crime, it will be up to the state's Indeterminate Sentencing Review Board to determine whether to release him after he's served his sentence or add additional time to his prison term.
Bradshaw ordered Dawson to undergo a sexual-deviancy evaluation and, if he is released from prison, to register as a sex offender.
Dawson's defense attorney, John Henry Browne, joined the two senior deputy prosecutors assigned to the case, Val Richey and Hugh Barber, in recommending the 16-year sentence. Browne said his client had confessed to the crime and could have risked a life sentence had he gone to trial on the Seattle and Portland cases.
Richey said Dawson "sorely underestimated" his Seattle victim, and commended her strength and sense of justice in pursuing criminal charges. Both victims "come from the fringe of our society, come from a class of people who generally are not believed," but both showed incredible dedication to the case, he said.
After the Seattle rape on Aug. 8, 2011, the case stalled for five months until Seattle police Detective Ron Brundage received a bulletin from a Portland detective identifying Dawson as a person of interest in a series of rapes of prostitutes there.
The detectives compared notes, analyzed Dawson's credit-card history and located the rented SUV, which had the Seattle victim's blood inside, according to court records. Dawson was arrested at his home in Arvada, Colo., in April 2012 and brought back to King County.
Dawson's Seattle victim, who was accompanied to court by Brundage on Friday, briefly addressed the judge.
"My hands are really messed up," she said, referring to the deep cuts she suffered when Dawson slashed her, adding that she suffers from some residual fear from the attack.
Her real concern was to make sure Dawson doesn't hurt anyone else.
"What if he does it to another girl, or a younger girl? I just don't think that it's safe for him to be out."
The Portland woman, who was also working as a prostitute when she was raped, addressed the court by speaker phone:
"Mr. Dawson, you have destroyed my life," she said. "July 19, 2011, was the worst day of my life when you raped me ... I hope every day you're in prison, you think about what you've done. I hope you rot in there."

Anthropology Student Learning Outcomes
NEW interdisciplinary minor in Museum Studies/Public History
The Department of Anthropology presently offers the Edwin S. Hall Jr. Scholarship, Marjorie Helen Stewart Award and our Departmental Scholars award.
Eligible Anthropology majors should apply online at brockport.academicworks.com
The Edwin S. Hall Jr. Scholarship
An educational expense grant of $1000, used for educational expenses at the College at Brockport and awarded to an Anthropology major who meets the following criteria: 3.4 or higher overall GPA, junior standing, minimum of 15 credit hours in Anthropology earned at Brockport, demonstrated academic excellence and potential for the application of Anthopological knowledge to chosen career.
Edwin S. Hall Jr. received his PhD in Anthropology from Yale University. His 30+ seasons of archaeological and ethnohistorical fieldwork were conducted in northern and northwestern Alaska where he also served as a consulting archaeologist for the US Geological Survey and The North Slope Borough. He is the author of numerous articles and books, among them The Eskimo Storyteller: Folktales from Noatak Alaska (1975) and Northwest Coast Indian Graphics: An Introduction to Silkscreen Prints (1981). At Brockport he taught Introduction to Archaeology, North American Archaeology, Culture Change, The American Indian, and Native American Art. Dr. Hall chaired the Department from 1974 to 1986. An avid collector of contemporary Native American art, he retired from the college in 1992.
The Marjorie Helen Stewart Award
A $200 cash award to an outstanding graduating senior Anthropology major who is pursuing a post-graduate degree and has been accepted into a graduate program.
Marjorie Stewart held a DPhil in Anthropology from Oxford University and conducted fieldwork in Nigeria where she investigated the pre-colonial history and socio-political organization of the Borgu Kingdom. Her publications include Borgu and Its Kingdoms: A Reconstruction of a West Sudanese Polity (1993). At Brockport Stewart taught courses on Africa, China, Anthropological Theory, Magic and Witchcraft, Gender, and Language and Culture. She served as chair of the department from 1994-1999. Dr. Stewart was also an accomplished pianist. When she died in 1999, she remembered the Department of Anthropology in her will, and we, in turn, created this award in her name to honor an outstanding senior.

Over the past two years, two nonprofit industry groups have formed to help merchants shield themselves from the slings and arrows of online credit card fraud. One is the Internet Fraud Prevention Advisory Council, supported by the Internet di-vision of HNC Software, a San Diego provider of Internet fraud risk management solutions. The other, the Worldwide E-Commerce Fraud Prevention Network, with free membership for all merchants, is being spearheaded and funded for the first year by American Express. Both groups aim to educate online merchants about anti-fraud practices as well as research and identify developing trends in Internet fraud and promote new fraud detection technology. The Fraud Prevention Network also offers helpful tools such as the "Fraud Test"-a quick, self-diagnostic questionnaire on its Web site that helps you pinpoint where your e-business may be most vulnerable to credit card fraud.
If you can't afford anti-fraud software, Ferguson offers tips on how you can gather what she calls the low-hanging fruit of fraud prevention. The best anti-fraud defense you can have, she says, is awareness of typical fraudulent behavior. Require all order-form fields to be filled in, and make sure credit card numbers match the card type (Visa, MasterCard or American Express). E-mail a receipt of the order to the address provided or call the consumer-you'll soon find out whether the contact information is fake. And be careful when you receive an order form with a free Internet-based e-mail account, as such accounts can be registered quite easily. Know your average order amounts and be suspicious of extraordinary orders as well as large-dollar orders of many low-priced items. Flag large orders that ask for express or P.O. Box shipping.
While one element alone may not be a telltale sign of fraud, a combination of a few could spell trouble. If several card numbers are attempted from the same IP address (a computer's location on the Internet) before one is finally accepted by your system, be very suspicious, Ferguson says-they could be mathematically generated from illegal, easily downloadable software. Encrypt data maintained on da-tabases or files accessible from the Internet, and immediately investigate and report to your credit card merchant any suspected loss of account or transaction information.
Online credit card fraud cost U.S. merchants $400 million by the end of 2000, according to Meridien Research. Developing an anti-fraud strategy now could help lessen your share of the burden.

Adding to the hilarity is that some commentators think this is real.
Adding to the hilarity is that some commentators think this is real.
I just saw this article today, that a developer is proposing a $230 million soccer complex off of View High Drive and I-470 in Lee's Summit (from what I've read, it would be here) and my initial reactions are:
I was asked recently by a fellow e-learning developer about how to include a YouTube video as a web object in Articulate Presenter. In answering the question I found some excellent documentation, and wanted to share what I discovered:
When you go to a youtube video, there is a little segment that identifies the video (shown here in red) in the address:
Copy that identifier (in this case it is 0VqTwnAuHws), then paste it at the end of this text:
This gives you this new address:
If you use this version of the address, the video will fill the available area in the web object in Articulate.
If you want the the video to autoplay when the user gets to the slide, not show related videos at the end, and hide "annotations" (the labels people put over the top of a video), you can format it this way:
(All the stuff in red and green stays the same no matter what YouTube video you use)
Again, there is a lot of good information on these parameters here:
This is kind of advanced, but I wanted to copy it down so I would know how to do it in the future, and I thought some of my geeky LDS friends might appreciate it. If you have one of those new fangled smart phones, you probably don't have to do all of this.
This requires a free program called BitPim, and it supports numerous phones, but not all. You can see which phones are supported here: http://www.bitpim.org/help/
You will also need a cable to connect your phone to your computer. On mine (an LG env-2) this is a standard micro-usb cable. You can get these cheap, e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Certified-BlackBerry-Digital-Camcorder-console/dp/B0033CTNZA/ref=pd_cp_e_2
Another way to do this is to export as a CSV file from lds.org, then manipulate the CSV file until it matches the columns in Verizon's BackupAssistant CSV format. I would recommend doing this in Excel. The column headings are as follows (but you only need information filled in for First and Last Name or Company and a phone number or email address):
Prefix,First Name,Middle Name,Last Name,Suffix,Company Name,Company Department,Job Title,Business 1 Street Address,Business 1 City/Region,Business 1 State,Business 1 Zip Code,Business 1 Country,Business 2 Street Address,Business 2 City/Region,Business 2 State,Business 2 Zip Code,Business 2 Country,Business 3 Street Address,Business 3 City/Region,...

Then upload to Verizon's BackupAssistant site for the phone: http://verizonwireless.com/backupassistant using the Import Contacts feature. Then resync the phone.
I used the first method on my phone (BitPim method), and then I actually exported my new contacts out of BackupAssistant and reuploaded them to my wife's BackupAssistant account.
If you dont like the new FB here is how you can change it back to the old. Look to the top left menu and click on MORE. Then drag STATUS UPDATES to the top. After dragging to top, click on it. That becomes your default and it is like before. Pass it ……on!
Thinking this to be a good solution, people have been spreading this paragraph like wildfire through Facebook. The problem is, it is incorrect. This does not return Facebook to what it was "like before." It actually makes what you see much more limited. Facebook only considers something a "Status Update" if it is only text. If you add a photo, link, event, or a video to a status update, it is no longer considered a status update. Instead it becomes a "Shared" item. So if you follow the advice above, you will only see updates that are text-only. This may appear to fix the problem at first, but over time I think people will realize they aren't getting photos, videos, and links like they did before. For some people that may be fine — maybe they don't mind missing out on photos in order to get a version of Facebook that is much more succinct (and like Twitter come to think of it).
So if you want to get back to the old Facebook, your best bet (in my opinion) is to click the "View Live Feed" link at the top of your homepage to make Facebook show ALL content in order (the way it was before). And yes, this does include more information than before, such as who friended who, but that is how the old old facebook was that everyone wanted back last time wasn't it? ;-) I've found that when I log out and log back in Facebook even "remembers" how I set this to Live Feed, but your mileage may vary as they say.
Also: If you have more than 250 friends, you will need to scroll to the bottom of the Live Feed, click the Edit Options link, and increase the number of friends to include from 250 to a higher number, otherwise Facebook picks 250 friends for you and excludes updates from those not on this list.

Under the ocean near California - 700 feet deep in the waters off Santa Barbara in California, a group of football-field-sized asphalt domes pave the bottom of the ocean. They are unlike any other underwater features known to exist--are they underwater volcanoes? (and if so, are they dormant?) We need to know if we have a potential emergency situation here.
They are dormant today, but about 35,000 years ago, a series of apparent undersea volcanoes deposited massive flows of petroleum 10 miles offshore. The deposits hardened into the domes, the largest of which is about the size of two football fields and as tall as a 6 story building. Oceanographer Christopher M. Reddy talks about discovering them while riding in a submarine. He says, "It was an amazing experience, driving along, and all of a sudden, this mountain is staring you in the face." They were teeming with undersea life: "It was essentially an oasis, almost like an artificial reef.
"One future direction is to try and actually drill into them. We also need to turn it over to some geologists to figure out where this oil is really coming from. More fundamentally, we're going to look at the actual degradation of the oil by microorganisms and maybe even see what organisms are trapped in this, very much like the La Brea Tar Pits."
Since the domes are asphalt (the same material that paves highways and parking lots) rather than oil, there's no potential here for offshore drilling, but there could be the opportunity to create an underwater museum that could be visited by submarine. Reddy wants to "see what organisms are trapped in this, very much like the La Brea Tar Pits."

The Golden Children's Bible
Grades K-8
The Golden Children's Bible was chosen because of its slightly simplified, but poetically appealing, King James text, along with its beautiful and age-appropriate illustrations. This is important because we believe students should learn to revere the Bible as a sacred book, distinct from modern adventure stories with cartoon heroes.

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Marcus Thornton tallied 27 points and six rebounds, as the Sacramento Kings held off the Milwaukee Bucks, 97-90.
Beno Udrih added 25 points, six boards and six assists for the Kings, who had lost nine of 11 coming in.
"We made the shots we needed to down the stretch," said Udrih. "You know, things worked out for us tonight. We grabbed the rebounds we needed to and made the free throws."
DeMarcus Cousins donated 13 points and nine rebounds for Sacramento, which got 11 points and 12 boards from Samuel Dalembert.
Carlos Delfino finished with 30 points for the Bucks, who had a brief two-game winning streak snapped.
Andrew Bogut had 15 points and nine rebounds for Milwaukee, which is three games behind Indiana for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Bucks held a 32-25 lead after 12 minutes of action, but the Kings came back in the second to cut the gap to 56-53 at the half.
Sacramento then outscored Milwaukee, 22-18, in the third stanza to take a 75-74 edge into the fourth.
Dalembert's alley-oop slam with 3:39 to play gave the Kings a 91-87 lead. Sacramento had a chance to extend its lead following Delfino's turnover, but Udrih missed a three-pointer.
Delfino and John Salmons each missed jumpers for the Bucks. Dalembert pulled down the defensive rebound. Jason Thompson missed a layup, but Dalembert was there again for the rebound. Dalembert got fouled and made 1-of-2 from the line to make it a 92-87 contest with 1:40 remaining.
The Bucks got a three-pointer from Delfino at the other end to make it a two- point game.
Brandon Jennings was called for an offensive foul with 17.6 seconds left, and the Kings went 5-of-6 from the field down the stretch to seal the victory.
"We got off to a pretty good start offensively but it was a little bit of fool's gold," Bucks head coach Scott Skiles said. "They (Sacramento) weren't very sharp early in the game defensively and we took advantage of it like we had to, but our defense was very poor basically start to finish. We just didn't have the type of intensity and focus you'd like to see and understanding the enormity of the game, we were kind of passive out there."

Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- The day before Pope Francis visited Marizete Marques' slum, the 62-year-old retired maid cleaned her humble home until her hands hurt.
She wanted it to sparkle for the pontiff, despite the fact that like many shantytown residents, she's not even Catholic.
Marques had already converted from the Catholicism she was born into to an evangelical congregation, following many residents in the Varginha slum, an impoverished sliver of land between two putrid waterways full of raw sewage. For the past decade she's been an active member of her local Assembly of God church, attending services, prayer groups and other functions six days a week.
While Brazil remains the world's largest Catholic country, the number of Catholics here dwindled in recent decades as legions of mostly poor people left the church for Pentecostal and evangelical congregations that are seen as offering concrete, hands-on help in improving their lives. In 1960, 90 percent of Brazilians were Catholics, according to census data. Today, Catholics account for just over 60 percent of the population in this country of 195 million.
Observers said that Varginha, which has four evangelical churches and two Catholic ones, was strategically chosen as the site of Thursday's papal visit in a bid to help staunch the tide of conversions.
But while local residents, Catholic and evangelical alike, said that Francis' visit was a big success, bringing out an enthusiastic crowd of thousands despite a cold rain, they also said it would take more than his quick trip to slow the growth of the Pentecostal congregations.
The pope no longer plays any role in Marques' spiritual life, but she said she was thrilled about the visit, which saw Francis visit a local Catholic church, make a speech on a rain-soaked soccer pitch and pay a courtesy call to a family home.
"I knew that there was no chance that my house would be the one the pope would visit, but I wanted it to be neat and clean as a sign of respect for him," Marques said, adding that she'd watched the pope's visit from her church's rooftop. "It was marvelous to have him here, a sheer joy for all of us residents, whatever our faith."
But asked whether seeing the pope in the flesh might nudge her back into the Catholic fold, she was categorical.
"No way. A true Christian would never do that," said Marques, a striking black woman with bone-white hair pulled back into a bun. "The pope struck me as a good man, a humble man, but that's no reason for me to abandon the church I've pledged my life to."
Anriete Matos, a 37-year-old manicurist who converted to an evangelical church about 20 years ago, said she thought the most lasting legacy of the visit would be more material than spiritual, referring to the handful of minor infrastructure projects local officials rushed to finish ahead of the pope's arrival.
"This community has been completely abandoned by City Hall for a very long time," said Matos, as she sat atop a 2-foot-high slab of concrete in front of her door that helps keep water out of her house during frequent floods. "So it was great that they did a few things, like patching up most of the holes in the asphalt, putting in a bit of sidewalk and trimming the trees for the pope, even if we suspect it was just a one-time thing."
As she spoke, a group of bare-chested, bare-footed boys chased after a lame horse with protruding ribs down the street as motorcycles buzzed by. A stray dog hustled after a rat near a crumbling building that Matos said had once served as a community center before it was abandoned and then occupied by crack addicts. A young man with links to the Red Command drug gang walked up and down the street, eyeing outsiders intensely. The heavily armed Red Command had ruled Varginha for decades and was pushed out in January under the government's slum "pacification" program.
"I saw people who I know are evangelicals, people from my own church out there waiting for the pope and screaming and crying when the pope came by. I must say I was a bit surprised," said Matos, who has struggled to provide for her two children since the sudden death of her husband two years ago. "But for however charismatic the pope is, I don't think you're going to see a lot of people going back to the fold. Anyone who does end up leaving the evangelical churches was probably having doubts and would probably have left anyway."

What I lift: *SETS* -edit
Squat - 4 reps 275, 4 reps 315, 3 reps 385, 2 reps 405(failed on 3rd)
Bench - 4 reps 205, 4 reps 225, 3 reps 245, 3 reps 265(+3 reps little help)
Power Clean - 5 reps 155, 3 reps 165, 3 reps 175, 2 reps 185, 2 reps 195
At this free "combine" that a local college is hosting for high school students I have a question about what weights to use for the weightlifting portion of the fitness test. You get to choose your weight (says "# of reps at comfortable weight"), and I do know that they just record the weight and reps you did at that weight. The previous years they have not put your reps and weight into a calculator to get your max, but if they do should what weight I choose to lift change? What would be a "comfortable" weight for me to be lifting?
Also if someone could do calculations on what my 1 rep max would be for these lifts that'd be interesting,

The M9 was Leica's first 'full-frame' digital rangefinder, enabling the use of most Leica 'M' series lenses at the originally intended field-of-view. The 18MP CCD sensor is fitted with a filter that avoid the M8 and 8.2's need for lens-mounted UV and IR filters. It retains the classic M series look and build quality while promising a no-compromise approach consummate with its not-inconsiderable price-tag. While beautifully engineered and undeniably capable as a photographic tool, the M9 understandably lacks some of the digital sophistication offered by more mass-market products and its sensor isn't a match for the latest CMOS designs in low light. Its lack of anti-aliasing filter enables it to capture astonishing levels of detail at lower ISO settings though.

Excelente cámara!!!
No es una cámara para cualquiera, solo para quienes entiendan el funcionamiento de un rangefinder. No es comparable desde ningún punto de vista con una réflex. Da gusto tomar fotos con la M9 y los resultados son excelentes. Problems: LCD de baja resolución y baja calidad de la imagen utilizada para preview.
Beautiful camera with excellent low iso IQ
Superb build quality, very nice IQ at low iso. Problems: LCD, slow processor, high iso noise, color shift with wide lenses.
Leica M9 es Leica
Creo que es la cámara perfecta para disfrutar de la fotografía. Para mi es perfecta. Problems: La limpieza del sensor y sin ninguna duda el elevado precio de todo lo que la rodea.
Almost there
I love this baby. The genuine article, save for: - ON/OFF switch terribly sensitive, I hate how it flicks to self-timer easily. - Buffer overload is one thing but even worse is trying to chimp (review pix) while buffering, or push PLAY before the camera booted up: it may fry the card, makes it unreadable! Happened twice, once real bad: I had to have a superdooper pro SD card with one-off event shots rescued in Lexar headquarters (kudos to Lexar for customer service) because no rescue software ...
Questions & Answers
Leica M9 (second-hand) or Fuji XT1?
Hi all, I am choosing between a second-hand Leica M9 and seperately buying a 50mm/35mm lense OR a new Fuji XT1. I have been getting back into photography for some years now and have mostly used high-end consumer cameras but need a top quality camera for upcoming extended photographic projects that I intend to print to a fairly large size - art market based if there is such a thing rather than turning myself into a professional photographer. A ´gentleman photographer´ if you will with time to invest :) I need the following: Lightweight, discreet, easy-to-use manual focus override, robust. I dislike the use of flash and avoid it as much as possible. Black and white photos will predominate with forays into colour. I dislike instensely bells and whistles and flashing lights of all kinds. Where my own background is concerned I learned photography 20 years ago on a Pentax K1000 (a great machine!) at the London college of Printing and now, with time and a budget of up to 3500-4000 ...
Well now, that certainly is the perpetuation of some myth. How do you have the least clue about people on any forum not having experience using a particular brand of camera? It may even come across as condescending and a bit arrogant, something no Leica owner would be accused of (sarcasm). There are plenty of Leica owners here and on other forums. Possibly, some of us aren't particularly impressed by the brand one chooses over the images one makes. There are a lot of rebadged Panasonics and Minoltas out there to dilute that sacred water. ;-) Continue Reading
The decision is at least partly down to lenses and handling. As these two cameras handle completely differently there's no direct comparison possible unless you get hands-on with them yourself. Personally I regard the Leica M9 as a bit of a dinosaur and over-priced. Unless you absolutely have to have a rangefinder it's hard to see any advantage for it. You can, for example, mount Leica M lenses on almost any MILC and get a better sensor and a smaller size. The sensor on the M9 is rather behind the curve. Do you have lenses you want to use ? Do you have specific lens requirements ? Also, while you don't like "bells and whistles", many of them will probably turn out to be useful to you in the longer term, perhaps sooner. You really need to approach your return to photography with a more open mind, as things have changed a great deal. Continue Reading
While the X-t1 is crop frame ( and hence has the issue with narrower field of view that Albert mentions ), the Sony A7 is full frame and will not have any effect on field of view. There are also adapters called based on focal reducers, called "speedboosters", "lens turbo" and other names. These restore the full frame field of view of lenses on crop frame MILCs. As the OP mentioned "bells and whistles" not being of interest, I suppose it's worth explaining some of the very useful bells and whistles for manual lens users on MILCs. Using manual lenses on the Sony MILCs is relatively easy as well, with the combination of focus peaking and magnified AF views ( which some other MILCs also support ) making precise focus relatively easy. These aids are at least as effective as split focus screens on SLRs, IMO. Also note that the Sony MILCs ( and at least some, but not all other MILCs ) will meter a scene automatically with manual lenses. You can control aperture via the ring and shutter ...

M9 White Balance
I have just taken possession of a very nice lightly used M9 So I am a newbie The only complaint I have so far is that the (auto or incandescent) white balance for indoor images is TERRIBLE Everything has a sickly yellow / green tinge I know I can correct this in Lightroom (or other app) But the fact that my Fuji X10 always gets it right in the same situations is disappointing Am I missing something obvious? Thanks for any advice! sgr
Crickets? ;-) Continue Reading
?????? is this a Leica joke?? pc Continue Reading
No, The AWB on the M9 is terrible in low light indoor situations. My technique is to always shoot RAW, [Jpegs on the M9 are also useless], import into Lightroom and using the Auto Balance function. That usually gets you somewhere near. If you really need accuracy then us a 18% grey card and set the balance in-situ. AWB in evenly lit situations is normally ok. The M9 has quirks but it is a great camera once you get to know it. Enjoy it, Paul Continue Reading

SPIRITED ART: Jedd Haas and Atelier Vie
by Anne Berry
The ArtEgg is a bunker of a building in New Orleans, a former egg-packing plant turned artists' studio. The rooms smell of oil paint or modeling clay—except Unit 111, where raw alcohol nips the air.
That's because the art made here is distilled and bottled, and it's for sale.
"Liquor is art you can drink," says Jedd Haas, the master behind Atelier Vie, a spirits studio where artisans collectively workshop the "water of life." Beyond boutique wineries and small-batch breweries, distilling is "the last frontier of alcohol," he says, adding, "Considering the [government] red tape barrier, it's a leap of faith." Launched in 2011, Atelier Vie's timing is spot on, as American craft distillers have quadrupled since 2005. Louisiana, recognizing this uptick, has recently allowed all distilleries to run a bar or package store onsite.
New Orleans' generous arts community and a vibrant, cross-pollinated culture make the city a good fit for agile minds. The Atelier Vie team—which includes an Ambassador, Distiller, and Chief Bean Hunter, all enthusiasts—has indeed made the studio a homegrown effort, starting with their hand-assembled still. Nicknamed "the Lego still"—a nod to child's play reflecting Haas's lifelong ease with mechanisms and production, cultivated by his father, an electronics designer who brought assembly projects home—it is a study of copper tubes, a toasted-orange condenser stand, and a roundly gleaming thirty gallon boiler. Wires lead to a control panel that dispatches 240 volts. Haas designed and built that panel, which regulates water and distillate temperatures and lets him finesse a slow run (releasing a higher octane, more neutral spirit) or fast run (giving a lower-proof, more flavorful product).
Ah, the product. On a late summer Saturday, his team and I gathered to test budding versions of the company's inaugural absinthe, Toulouse Red. We compared the potions as if studying drawings, tasting their composition and color and effect. The darkest ruby, touched by hibiscus petals, was our favorite: a creamy anise nose, fennel on the palate, and a brief flowery tang that flirted with bitterness. We drained our cordial glasses and asked for more.
Haas released white and green versions, too, eventually using locally grown wormwood, thereby making his the first purely Louisiana absinthe sold in the state. Currently, he is experimenting with a rice whiskey made from fermented Louisiana rice mash. An early taste finds it honeyed on the nose with a sweet palate, and approachable.
Atelier Vie is already bottling Buck 25, a high-proof vodka marketed to local bartenders for its fast infusions (I sampled a pepper-soaked batch. It was bright and intense after only two days). A higher proof also means that bartenders use less, which frees them to experiment with ever-more creative infusions.
Common to all of Atelier Vie's bottles is the company logo, an abstract fleur-de-lis sketched by Haas, with an ornamental body and stylized wings. In it, you might see an Art Deco angel, or even a vintage Steampunk machine part. "I wanted a strong graphic mark that works in black and white," he said, "so it reproduces better." Haas has experience with branding: in 1992, while designing and printing announcements for one of his art shows, he launched a design and consulting firm that he named EPS. "In design, you think about what you want to achieve in advance," said Haas. "In art, you don't know where you're going; it's a process of discovery."
Haas is a manufacturer by experience, fine artist by schooling, graphic designer by trade, and, now, president of a distillery. These worlds don't clash, as you might expect; instead, one passion feeds into the next. "When I'm blocked in one area, I'll move to another," he told me. "While my mind's disassociated, I'll find the answer somewhere else." Brush and canvas have been his most enduring tools on this journey. Haas paints bold, fractal shapes, dissecting geometric fragments and their repeating patterns. When he looks at objects in orbit—ceiling fans, balloons, or circling planets—his work takes on the qualities of levity, light, and optimism.
After you browse the bottles and admire the still at Atelier Vie, check out Haas's canvases. He'll display and sell those, too, in a final master stroke integrating spirits and art.
The team at Atelier Vie: President Jedd Haas, Ambassador Brennan Steele, Chief Bean Hunter Skylar Rosenbloom, and Distiller Jascha Jacobson. Atelier Vie LLC is located at 1001 S. Broad Street in New Orleans.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Scandal du Jour: Plagiarism!
"The Words" is a new film starring everyone's favorite faux Frenchman, Bradley Cooper. Its plot, as we understand it, revolves around the concept of author as plagiarist–and while we can't exactly recommend the movie based on its critical reception, we thought we'd use this opportunity (and the emergence of another small-scale plagiarism story) to examine parallel scandals that engaged the chattering classes this summer: the public trials of Jonah Lehrer and Fareed Zakaria.
Seems like everyone is copying the work of others these days–even noted wordsmith Chuck Norris has been caught red-handed. The two men at the center of this hot topic are very different personalities—and both the charges leveled against them and the public's reaction to their respective PR crises have been very different as well. Fareed Zakaria is a respected journalist and TV news personality while Jonah Lehrer is (or, more accurately, was) a rising writer, speaker, and acknowledged expert in the realms of neurology and human behavior.
What, exactly, did they do?
Zakaria copied a paragraph of a Time article on gun control from an earlier New Yorker piece by historian Jill Lepore. CNN also found that one of his blog posts for CNN.com "contained similar unattributed quotes." When accused of other acts of sloppy journalism, he lashed out at critics before backing down.
Lehrer's first crime was plagiarizing himself—observers discovered that he often repeated passages that had appeared in previous columns or books. While this was bad news for Lehrer, it wasn't necessarily the end of the world. Unfortunately, further investigations uncovered a disturbing history of similar behavior during his time at Wired and other publications. And that wasn't the worst of it: The final, damning revelation was the fact that Lehrer had straight-up invented nonexistent Bob Dylan quotes for his bestselling book "Imagine"—and when pressed on his offense, he denied it and made more false claims before breaking down and confessing to his own dishonesty.
The saddest part about these stories is that both writers remain very talented, very busy men who obviously bit off more than they could chew. What conclusions can we, as PR and media professionals, draw from their cases?

A native of Mississippi, Benjamin Morris is a writer whose work—poetry, fiction, plays, and essays—appears regularly on both sides of the pond. He once set off a 32,000-count firecracker in the school parking lot, and was never caught-until now. When he's not living anywhere else, he's in New Orleans.

Dispatch from New Orleans
This is how New Orleans during Mardi Gras works: You're at a friend's house decorating throws for a krewe, when a call comes in during your third glass of wine. A couple of texts and a bout of phone tag later-during which a place and a time and instructions to "bring gold face paint" are somehow conveyed-and you find yourself dressed as a Wild West gunslinger pushing the queen's float for a krewe that until a couple of years ago didn't exist. But that's just how we roll.

Who among us does not love a good piss?

That feeling of release, of pent-up tension flowing from your body—how wonderful that such a pleasure is ours not just every day but multiple times?

Bertucci's Coupons 2014
The first Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizza location was opened in Somerville, Massachusetts in 1981. The restaurant began expanding in 1985 with two additional locations; by 1989, there were 14, all uniquely designed to discourage a "chain" image. The company went public in 1991. After booming in the early '90s, expansion into unfamiliar territories such as Orlando, Chicago, and Atlanta led to difficulties, forcing the company to scale back. Bertucci's was acquired by N.E. Restaurant Co. in 1998; the company changed its name to the Bertucci's Corporation in 2001.
Bertucci's Menu Items
In the beginning, Bertucci's sold only brick-oven fired pizzas. While brick oven pizza remains their specialty today, the restaurant also serves a variety of other entrees, including pastas, seafood dishes, chicken, and steak. Other popular items include brick-oven-roasted vegetables, Tuscan chicken wings, antipastos, and Italian soups. Desserts include tiramisu and limoncello mascarpone cake. During lunch hours, Paninis and focaccia sandwiches are served. A kid's menu with smaller portions is available.

Comments about Primal Wear Vandal Jersey:
This is a great jersey. I typically wear an x-large shirt and got the xx-large jersey and it fits perfectly. I like the appearance and have gotten remarks about its nice graphics. I really like the primal wear jerseys. This was a great buy and I have gotten a lot of use out of it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The contestants in EBR's first elementary spelling bee did not go down easy. Word after word was spelled correctly on Tuesday, Nov.6 and Wednesday, Nov.7, as elementary students squared off for a chance to be named top speller in the district. Family and community members, along with EBRPSS staff filled the McKinley Middle auditorium for two days to support the students as they ran through pages of spelling words before winners emerged among 2nd-5th graders. The students represented the top spellers in EBR elementary schools. The competition eventually turned to more difficult words when spellers remained on the stage for over two and a half hours. "It was a long evening," said Superintendent Charlotte Placide. "But this is another validation of student quality in all East Baton Rouge Parish Schools." The district spelling bee is part of several academic activities planned for schools in the parish. "We want to broaden the thoughts and stimulate the excitement about learning among students in our schools," said Paula Johnson, Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Programs. In the 2nd-3rd grade division, first place went to the Buchanan Elementary student for correctly spelling every word. The second place winner was from Glen Oaks Park Elementary and third place went to RiverOaks Elementary. In the 3rd-4th grade division, first place went to the Dufrocq Elementary student for correctly spelling every word. The second place winner was from LaSalle Elementary and third place went to Glen Oaks Park Elementary.
