City to Continue Using Green Energy
Council support changes city manager's mind about going back to fossil fuels
Interim City Manager Scott Stiles today announced his intention to keep Cincinnati's electricity green after City Councilman Chris Seelbach rallied a majority of council to oppose Stiles' earlier plan to go back to using conventional fossil fuels to light and heat the city. Instead, Cincinnati will continue using 100-percent renewable-backed energy from First Energy Solutions. The city signed on with First Energy in 2012, making Cincinnati the largest metropolitan are in the country to use 100-percent renewable energy. Stiles was expected to sign the three-year contract with First Energy Solutions today, according to city spokeswoman Meg Olberding. Sellbach and other council members convinced Stiles to change his mind about the contract, Olberding says. She also added that First Energy told Stiles it would allow any customer who wants to save the additional $5.63 annual savings of conventional energy to opt-out of the green energy agreement. The green energy plan is estimated to save customers $43.58 compared Duke's standard service. About 65,000 households and small businesses will continue using First Energy unless they choose to retain another energy supplier. Stiles will also institute a green energy fee of $.006 on each electric bill as part of a program he's developing that will help local business owners and residents equip their homes or offices with energy-saving solutions. The program will be run by the Office of Environment and Sustainability.

Anti-P&G protesters face court, 3CDC to resolve project, mayor denies politics in board pick
A group of Greenpeace protesters face burglary and vandalism charges after a stunt yesterday on the Procter & Gamble buildings. Protesters apparently teamed up with a helicopter to climb outside the P&G buildings to hang up a large sign criticizing the company for allegedly enabling the destruction of rainforests in Indonesia by working with an irresponsible palm oil supplier. P&G officials say they are looking into the protesters' claims, but they already committed to changing how they obtain palm oil by 2015.Cincinnati Center City Development Corp. (3CDC) will step in to resolve the status of a downtown grocery and apartment tower project. The previous city administration pushed the project as a means to bring more residential space downtown, but Mayor John Cranley refuses to pay to move a tenant in the parking garage that needs to be torn down as part of the project. Following Cranley and Councilman Chris Seelbach's request for 3CDC's help, the development agency will recommend a path forward and outline costs to the city should it not complete the project.Meanwhile, the tenants in the dispute announced today that they will sue the city to force action and stop the uncertainty surrounding their salon business.Cranley insists politics were not involved in an appointment to the Cincinnati Board of Health, contrary to complaints from the board official the mayor opted to replace. Cranley will replace Joyce Kinley, whose term expired at the end of the month, with Herschel Chalk. "Herschel Chalk, who(m) I'm appointing, has been a long-time advocate against prostate cancer, who's somebody I've gotten to know," Cranley told WVXU. "I was impressed by him because of his advocacy on behalf of fighting cancer. I committed to appoint him a long time ago."The costs for pausing the streetcar project back in December remain unknown, but city officials are already looking into what the next phase of the project would cost.Troubled restaurant Mahogany's must fully pay for rent and fees by March 10 or face eviction.Through his new project, one scientist intends to "make 100 years old the next 60."Follow CityBeat on Twitter:• Main: @CityBeatCincy • News: @CityBeat_News • Music: @CityBeatMusic • German Lopez: @germanrlopezGot any news tips?

Mayor blocks downtown development, city leaders push for Google Fiber, budget gap grows
Mayor John Cranley could dismantle a deal that would produce a grocery store, 300 luxury apartments and a new parking garage downtown. Cranley says he doesn't want millions put toward the deal, even though the developer involved plans to invest another $60 million. Councilman Chris Seelbach says the deal isn't dead just because of the mayor's opposition, and City Council could act to bypass the mayor, just like the legislative body did with the streetcar project and responsible bidder. To Seelbach, the deal is necessary to bring much-needed residential space and an accessible grocery store downtown.Cincinnati officials and startup executives will try to bring Google Fiber, which provides Internet speeds 100 times faster than normal broadband, to Cincinnati. Google plans to hold a national competition to see which cities are most deserving of its fiber services. "Over the last several years, Cincinnati's innovation ecosystem has made tremendous strides," Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld said in a statement. "We're increasingly becoming a magnet for talented entrepreneurs across the country who want to come here to bring their big ideas to life. We need to ensure that we have the modern technological infrastructure to make Cincinnati nationally competitive."Cincinnati's operating budget gap for fiscal 2015 now stands at $22 million, up from an earlier forecast of $18.5 million, largely because of extra spending on police pushed by Cranley and a majority of City Council. The city must balance its operating budget each year, which means the large gap will likely lead to layoffs and service cuts.Commentary: "Budget Promises Spur Fears of Cuts."Cranley won't re-appoint the chair of Cincinnati's Board of Health. When asked why, Chairwoman Joyce Kinley told City Council's Budget and Finance Committee that Cranley told her "he had to fulfill a campaign promise." Some city officials say they worry Cranley is putting politics over the city's needs.Troubled restaurant Mahogany's needs to pay back rent or move out, The Banks' landlord declared Monday.

Preschool could save money, domestic partner registry coming, mayor seeks inclusion
Universal preschool could save Cincinnati $48-$69.1 million in the first two to three years by ensuring children get through school with less problems and costs to taxpayers, according to a University of Cincinnati Economics Center study. The public benefits echo findings in other cities and states, where studies found expanded preschool programs generate benefit-cost ratios ranging from 4-to-1 to 16-to-1 for society at large. For Cincinnati and preschool advocates, the question now is how the city could pay for universal preschool for the city's three- and four-year-olds. CityBeat covered universal preschool in further detail here.Cincinnati leaders intend to adopt a domestic partner registry that would grant legal recognition to same-sex couples in the city. Councilman Chris Seelbach's office says the proposal would particularly benefit gays and lesbians working at small businesses, which often don't have the resources to verify legally unrecognized relationships. Seelbach's office says the registry will have two major requirements: Same-sex couples will need to pay a $45 fee and prove strong financial interdependency. In a motion, the mayor and a supermajority of City Council ask the city administration to structure a plan that meets the criteria; Seelbach's office expects the full proposal to come back to council in the coming months.Mayor John Cranley plans to take a sweeping approach to boosting minority inclusion in Cincinnati, including the establishment of an Office of Minority Inclusion. The proposal from Cranley asks the city administration to draft a plan for the office, benchmark inclusion best practices and identify minority- and women-owned suppliers that could reduce costs for the city. The proposal comes the week after Cranley announced city contracting goals of 12 percent for women-owned businesses and 15 percent for black-owned businesses.Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted eliminated early voting on Sundays with a directive issued yesterday.

City Pursues Domestic Partner Registry for Same-Sex Couples
Seelbach touts measure to boost Cincinnati's LGBT inclusion score
The mayor and a supermajority of City Council backs efforts to establish a domestic partner registry for same-sex couples in Cincinnati, Councilman Chris Seelbach's office announced Tuesday.If adopted by the city, the registry will allow same-sex couples to gain legal recognition through the city. That would let same-sex couples apply for domestic partner benefits at smaller businesses, which typically don't have the resources to verify legally unrecognized relationships, according to Seelbach's office.Specifically, the City Council motion asks the city administration to reach out to other cities that have adopted domestic partner registries, including Columbus and eight other Ohio cities, and establish specific guidelines.Seelbach's office preemptively outlined a few requirements to sign up: Same-sex couples will need to pay a $45 fee and prove strong financial interdependency by showing joint property ownership, power of attorney, a will and other unspecified requirements."As a result of a $45 fee to join the registry, we believe this will be entirely budget neutral, meaning it won't cost the city or the taxpayers a single dollar," Seelbach said in a statement.If the plan is adopted this year, Cincinnati should gain a perfect score in the next "Municipal Equality Index" from the Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group that, among other tasks, evaluates LGBT inclusion efforts from city to city. Cincinnati scored a 90 out of 100 in the 2013 rankings, with domestic partner registries valued at 12 points.Seelbach expects the administration to report back with a full proposal that City Council can vote on in the coming months.

City, schools to collaborate, protesters call for MSD work, some question The Banks' success
Cincinnati officials and Cincinnati Board of Education leaders yesterday announced a new collaborative that aims to share and align the city and Cincinnati Public Schools' (CPS) policy goals. The initiative will focus on five areas: population growth, workforce development, safe and livable neighborhoods, wellness and access to technology. City and school officials say the collaborative alone won't hit their budgets, but future joint initiatives could obviously carry their own costs.Councilman Chris Seelbach and union supporters yesterday gathered outside the Hamilton County Administrations Building to call on county commissioners to open bidding on several Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) projects. County commissioners blocked the work in protest of Cincinnati's "responsible bidder" rules, which require MSD contractors to meet more stringent job training requirements and pay into a pre-apprenticeship fund that will train new workers in different crafts. The Republican-controlled county says the rules are illegal, favor unions and burden businesses, but the Democrat-controlled city says the standards help train local workers and create local jobs.Meanwhile, county commissioners appear ready to take the city-county dispute to court. If the conflict isn't resolved by the end of the year, the federal government could impose fines to force work on a mandatory overhaul of the local sewer system to fully continue, according to Commissioner Chris Monzel.Cincinnati's riverfront has come a long way, but The Cincinnati Enquirer and others seem unhappy The Banks is taking so long to fully develop. A lot was promised with the initial plan for the riverfront, but the Great Recession and other hurdles slowed down the development of condos, office and retail space and a hotel. For some business owners, the slowdown has made it much harder to get by unless a major event — a Reds or Bengals game, for example — is going on, particularly during bad winters. In particular, struggling Mahogany's owner Liz Rogers says she "would like to see more retail, a hotel, a movie theater."Following Councilman Charlie Winburn's warnings that the city wastefully bought too much road salt, the city is actually running low on salt and waiting on an order of 3,500 tons. Over the past couple months, Winburn accused the city of wasting money when he "discovered" a pile of unused road salt. Despite Winburn's attempts to make "saltgate" into a thing, it turns out the city bought the salt when it was cheaper and planned to use it in the future.Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center plans to reopen a pediatric health clinic that abruptly closed down when Neighborhood Health Care Inc. shut down operations.

City personnel changes spur backlash, county seeks MSD compromise, judge indicted again
The latest administrative shakeups at City Hall spurred controversy after the city administration confirmed City Solicitor John Curp will leave his current position and one of the new hires — Bill Moller, a city retiree who will become assistant city manager — will be able to "double dip" on his pension and salary ($147,000 a year). Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld said on Twitter that City Council will discuss the personnel changes at today's council meeting. The hiring decisions are up to Interim City Manager Scott Stiles, but some council members say they should be more closely informed and involved. (This paragraph was updated after council members called off the special session.)Hamilton County commissioners plan to vote on a resolution today that attempts to compromise with City Council on controversial contracting rules for Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) projects. Both the Democrat-controlled city and Republican-controlled county agree the issue needs to be resolved soon so MSD can get on with a $3.2 billion sewer revamp mandated by the federal government. But it remains unclear whether the county's compromise, which adds some inclusion goals and funding for training programs, will be enough for City Council. In December, Democratic council members refused to do away with the city's contracting rules, which require MSD contractors to meet stricter job training standards and programs.Hamilton County Juvenile Court Judge Tracie Hunter was indicted on a ninth felony charge yesterday. The charge — for misusing her county credit card — comes on top of eight other felony counts for allegedly backdating court documents and stealing from office. In response to the first eight charges, the Ohio Supreme Court disqualified Hunter as she fights the accusations and replaced her with a formerly retired judge, who will be aided by the juvenile court's permanent and visiting judges in addressing Hunter's expansive backlog of cases.A bipartisan proposal would allow Ohioans to recall any elected official in the state.Duke Energy cut a $400,000 check to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority for redevelopment projects at Bond Hill, Roselawn and Queensgate.Sixty-two people will be dropped from Hamilton County voter rolls because they didn't respond to a letter from the board of elections challenging their voting addresses.It's official: Democrat Charlie Luken and Republican Ralph Winkler will face off for the Hamilton County Probate Court judgeship.Facing state cuts to local funding, a Clermont County village annexed its way to higher revenues.

Decision Day for Streetcar
Councilman Kevin Flynn still undecided on whether to cast deciding vote to restart project
It's decision day for Cincinnati's $132.8 million streetcar project. But hours before City Council expects to make a decision, it's unclear whether the legislative body has the six votes necessary to overcome Mayor John Cranley's veto and restart construction for the streetcar project. The deciding vote will most likely come from Charterite Kevin Flynn, who says he's working behind the scenes with undisclosed private entities to get the streetcar's operating costs off the city's books. If that deal pulls through, Flynn would provide the sixth vote to keep going. The project already has five votes in favor: Democrats David Mann, Chris Seelbach, Yvette Simpson, P.G. Sittenfeld and Wendell Young. Three council members have long opposed the project: Republicans Amy Murray and Charlie Winburn and Independent Christopher Smitherman. It's a big financial decision for the city. If the city goes forward with the project, it would cost $53.9-$68.9 million, depending on whether the city convinces courts Duke Energy should pay for $15 million in utility costs, according to an audit from consulting firm KPMG. If the city cancels, it will incur $16.3-$46.1 million in additional close-out costs, the same audit found. But it will get nothing for those tens of millions spent and could face costly litigation in the future. Council expects to make a final decision at Thursday's 2 p.m. meeting.

Osho continues:
"If you cannot laugh at death you will not be able to laugh in life either because death is always coming. Each act in life, each move in life, brings death closer. Each moment that you live you get closer to death. If you cannot laugh with death, how can you laugh with life and in life?
"But there is a difference between the Zen Buddhists and the other religions. Other religions are not that deep: other religions also say that there is no need to fear death because the soul is immortal. But in the very idea of the immortality of the soul, your mind is seeking eternity and nothing else. In the very idea of immortality you are denying death, you are saying there is no death. You are saying, 'So why be afraid? There is no death. I am going to live – if not as this body, still I am going to live as this soul. My essential being will continue. So why fear death? Death will not be destroying me. I will remain, I will persist, I will continue.' The other religions compromise with your desire to remain forever, they give you a consolation. They say, 'Don't be worried. You will be in some other body, in some other form, but you will continue.' This seems to be a clinging.
"But the Zen approach towards death is utterly different, immensely profound. Other religions say death is not to be worried about, not to be feared, because the soul is eternal. Zen says: There cannot be any death because you are not. There is nobody to die. See the difference – there is nobody to die. The self exists not, so death cannot take anything away from you. Life cannot give you anything and death cannot take anything away. There is no purpose in life and no purpose in death. There is nobody to die. Other religions say you will not die so don't be worried about death. Zen says: You exist not – for whom are you worrying? There is nobody in life and there will be nobody in death; you are pure emptiness. Nothing has ever happened there.
"Zen does not compromise with your desire for eternity."

20-year rule: Record transfer report
In 2013 the government began its move towards releasing records when they are 20 years old, instead of 30. The introduction of a 20-year rule is a key part of the government's transparency agenda and The National Archives is helping to manage the earlier release of the public record. The transition to a 20-year rule will take place over ten years.
Government bodies that transfer records to The National Archives provide data on the volume and transfer status of the records they hold. This data is collected in Spring and Autumn each year, and began in Autumn 2012.
Access the record transfer report
The file shows the data provided by those 21 bodies that transfer 90% of the records sent to The National Archives each year, in A-Z order. The data from the remaining bodies that are included in the report are then also listed alphabetically.

Record transfer report Spring 2014 (CSV, 0.02Mb)
Note about the dataGovernment bodies that transfer records to The National Archives provide data on the volume of records they hold in the following categories:
- legacy - records due for transfer or destruction by the previous year and now overdue
- current - records due for transfer or destruction in the current year
- forecast - records due for transfer or destruction next year
Data is also provided on the transfer status of the records held within each of these categories. The volume of records identified so far as being of potential historical value is shown within the record transfer report as 'records currently selected for transfer'. The volume expected to be transferred for permanent preservation is the 'planned total for year end transfer' figure given in the report.
An explanatory note to the data has been included where one has been provided by the department. Some departments have chosen to give fuller explanations on their own websites and have provided a link in the report.

Golf-Woods to defend World Challenge against strong field
Oct 17 (Reuters) - Tournament host Tiger Woods will be joined by two reigning major champions in what he regards as one of the deepest fields ever seen at the World Challenge, to be played from Nov. 29-Dec. 2 in Thousand Oaks, California.
Masters champion Bubba Watson and U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson were both named on Wednesday in the elite 18-man field for the $5 million invitational event at Sherwood Country Club.
Also competing will be fellow United States Ryder Cup players Keegan Bradley, Jason Dufner, Jim Furyk, Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar and Steve Stricker, plus England's Ian Poulter, Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell and Australian Jason Day.
Twelve of the world's top 20 golfers are lined up for Sherwood and Phil Mickelson, who likes to spend time with his family at the end of the year, is the only member of the 12-man 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup team not playing.
"It's one of the deepest fields we've ever had," defending champion Woods said on a conference call. "We're very excited about having as many Ryder Cup players, and players who have won all around the world playing in this event."
Woods has fond memories of his World Challenge victory at Sherwood last year because it was his first title anywhere since the 2009 Australian Masters and set the tone for a successful 2012 PGA Tour campaign highlighted by three wins.
"It gave me a lot of confidence, there's no doubt," the 36-year-old American said of his one-shot triumph over compatriot Zach Johnson, who will also be back at Sherwood in November.
"One was winning it, yes, but also the way I did it and who I beat ... to go head to head with Zach like that, and Zach is not the kind of guy who's going to go away."
Woods came from one shot behind Johnson with two holes to play, birdies at the 17th and the last giving him a three-under-par 69 and a 10-under total of 278.
"That gave me just a huge shot of confidence going into this year," the 14-times major champion said. "One of the reasons why I think I was able to win early in the year, in March, is because of that."
Woods won his 72nd PGA Tour title at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, then followed up with victories at the Memorial tournament and AT&T National.
Though he has not triumphed in the majors since the 2008 U.S. Open, he is happy with the overall progress he has made with coach Sean Foley on the fourth swing change of his professional career.
"We're just working on exactly the same things we've done all summer," Woods said. "I'm getting a little bit more comfortable with it, and it's nice to actually start to putt well again.
"My short game has been solid. I've made a few changes there, and that's been very nice to see the progress I've made.
"We do have an off-season programme in which we want to do some work ... and then I'll start really focusing on next year and my preparation and lead-up to Augusta (for the 2013 Masters)." (Reporting by Mark Lamport-Stokes in Los Angeles; Editing by Julian Linden)

I don't think this would apply to fixing existing issues, or improving older products. Modernising a product e.g. Nova, which will still essentially do the same task, isn't abuse of position, just making your customers happy. Giving away improvements should be mandatory!
@matt40k - if Capita gave away intouch for free every messaging / texting company out there would complain, and rightly so, it's something that was never sold as part of core SIMS. I'm not sure what they'd gain by giving it away, apart from lock-in, and maybe some good press for a change ;)
The smaller companies have it easy in a way, as they can copy what SIMS does, or wants to do, and give it away with their core offering and get away with it, plus it's probably easier to program, make it look good and work well with existing systems.
I doubt very much if being King of the Castle is an easy position to be in.

Light and fast for the Y axis.
Some packs sit on your back like a pillowcase full of rocks, but the Black Diamond Axis 33 Backpack rides as smoothly as a finely-tuned sportscar, thanks to its ergoActiv suspension that moves with you, eliminating hot spots and allowing for more natural movement so you can cover more ground with less effort. Of course, the Axis is designed with vertical endeavors in mind, but just imagine how many ice or rock pitches you could knock out in a day without your pack pulling you back to earth.
The Axis has a fat-free design, forgoing the unnecessary bells and whistles in favor of ultra-functional features like PickPocket ice tool holders, crampon straps, and a three-point haul system if you end up pulling it up behind you. The SwingArm shoulder straps distribute the load evenly, and the vented,
thermo-formed back panel keeps you cool and comfortable when you're
pulling through the crux. Incorporate a tuck-away helmet holder, rope strap, and hydration compatibility to keep you well-watered on longer approaches, and you've got the fully-featured but remarkably trim Axis.

I haven't used this back extensively yet, but wanted to put in a plug from the non-technical crowd. I moved to this from the BD Octane for my go-to backpacking pack. My Octane was 28 liters and I really needed the extra 5 liters for cold weather trips/bear country trips/photo equipment. After tasting the sweetness that is the ergoActive suspension I couldn't go back to a "normal" pack, and I really like zippered packs as opposed to top loading compression style (which you have to move to to get extra space in the BD backpacking lineup - Boost Pack). This fit the bill and if you get creative all those special features for climbing come in very handy for other things. For example, I always hate taking up so much space in my pack for my Bare Boxer, but the hideaway helmet holder is perfect to fasten it to the top of the pack. No extra webbing, and awkward positioning. Just perfect. I don't use crampons, but the crampon holder is perfect for a water bottle or camp chair. Lots of possibilities. Not as light as some backpacking options but I prefer a few extra features and durability to a few less ounces. Obviously mine is the previous model, but I think they are pretty similar for what I just described.

An Ode To Kate Middleton's Impeccable Style Game This Week
Getty Images
Can we venture to say that is appreciating Kate Middleton's recent style successes as much as we are? When we first caught a glimpse of the Duchess of Cambridge in a previously worn—yet just as perfect—Roland Mouret gown (shown above), we had to do a double-take. Not only did she look flawless, physically, but the dress' accessories were the perfect complement to its clean, elegant shape.
But it wasn't just this red carpet look that made us swoon. This weekend, Kate stepped out in an edgy pair of pants and that tiara (on separate occasions), once again reminding us of her styling prowess. Fit for a royal, really.
Click through to see Kate Middleton's most recent ensembles which, if you're anything like us, you'll catch yourself staring at for more than a few seconds. We've shopped them out, too, in case you'd like to join us in mimicking her outfits the best you can!

The Alicorn Scrolls: Skyrim -Chapter 3The Alicorn ScrollsSkyrimBy: RyuuKibaChapter 3: Of Pride and Prison BarsThe darkness enveloped me, cradled me, hiding me away from memories and regrets. I felt at peace, as though suspended in time forever. The slight sensation of dizziness that spun around my head reminded me of the nights I spent drinking and talking blissfully with my brothers. A time now better off forgotten.The void slowly drifted away, and pain crept to the back of my head. My senses were returning as I gradually recovered my consciousness. The first thing I noticed was the smell; a nauseating stench of death and filth with the damp, stale air of a closed space. My feathers stood up as cold finally registered in my brain and the rough sensation of stone brushed against my scales from under a bed of hay. I opened my eyes and lifted my head, too confused to discern anything of what I saw at first.When my vision cleared, I was face-to-face with a rusty iron bar. With a muffled yelp I stumbled to my hoov
Inside My SoulI open my eyes.The light of the dayDoes not conceal the darkness of reality.The weight of the world is heavyAnd suffocating on my heart.My hands look not my own.I clench a fist then releaseThe movement distant and unnatural.My life You have blessed me withIs truly appreciatedYet somehow feels incomplete.I hear a voice calling in the distanceLifting my gaze I seeMountains flaring red and yellow.Leaves play the melodyOf the peaceful land You created.My spirit rises with the wind.I begin to runThe grass staining my bare feet.Gold invading pale green eyes.But fences soon appearKeeping me from going any farther.An unknown sadness clouds the skyReplacing blue with gray.Guilt fills my mindAnd tears fall like rain.When the time comes to spread my wingsComing home to the perfect placeI pray You set me free.

- Summary
- "Preface The purpose of writing this book is primarily to make the subject of coding theory easy for the starting senior or graduate student who possesses a thorough understanding of digital arithmetic, Boolean and modern algebra, and probability theory. In fact, any reader with these basic prerequisites will find this book interesting and useful. The contents cover the technical topics as well as material of general interest. This book explains many important technical features that have permeated the scientific and social culture of our time. The book just does not stop there. It takes the advanced readers, who have a good understanding of probability theory, stochastic analysis, and distributions, to recent theoretical developments in coding theory and shows them the limitations that the current research on the subject still imposes. For example, there still exist the following unanswered questions: What kind of overhead factor can we expect for large and small values of coding blocks? Are the different types of recent codes equivalent or do they perform differently? How do the published distributions fare in producing good codes for finite number of blocks? Is there a significant random variation in code generation for the given probability distributions? In addition, there are patent issues which deal with more efficient hardware and the expectation of the current advancement on the internet and data storage. As one can see from the above description and the table of contents, the book does not deal with any aspect of cryptography as this subject justifies a separate book, although certain rules used in this book are still useful in cryptography. What are the key benefits of this book for the readers?"-- Provided by publisher.

That was the subject line on an e-mail I received tonight.
The author: the woman who initiated the lively discussion we had a few weeks back about children crying in church. (You can read about it here and here.)
Her e-mail:
Hi Deacon Greg,
I thought I should let you & your readers know that I've been forced by my hearing problem to leave the Church. After talking with a priest yesterday, I told him that I realize that the Catholic Church's exists primarily for screaming–& yes, I do mean SCREAMING, not making little babbling sounds–babies & their apparently-deaf parents.
As for the person who answered my question by saying these parents get Holy Communion from being at Mass–well, who needs the Eucharist more, a baby or an adult who is suffering immensely every moment of every day due to multiple illnesses & death of all family & friends (I'm only 55.)? Now, I'm forced, literally forced, out of the Catholic Church.
At least I know why parents lack the charity towards their fellow adult Catholics. I hope they realize it is matter for Confession. Thank you.
My sense is that there has to be more than just noise that is driving this woman away, and that there may be more layers to her story. There's pain there, along with anger and frustration. I suspect what she needs more than silence is time—and prayer, and someone who will listen. I hope she finds all of that.
And I hope, too, that she finds the inner quietude and peace that will lead her, by whatever winding path, back to a place of sanctuary and sacraments and grace. Whatever may be sending her out, I hope she will always consider this Church her home.
She may not feel it now, but she is always welcome. Always. The same door she walked through to leave remains unlocked and open, awaiting her return.
Please keep her in your prayers.

Why Palo Alto Networks (PANW) Stock Is Up Today
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Palo Alto Networks (PANW) stock added 7% to $74.35 by midafternoon Thursday after the network security developer reported better-than-expected profits in its third quarter.

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more.TheStreet Ratings team rates PALO ALTO NETWORKS INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate PALO ALTO NETWORKS INC (PANW) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed -- some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including deteriorating net income, disappointing return on equity and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share."

Don't watch this if you have a fear of heights!
It's a video of a steeplejack from the U.K. named Fred Dibnah. He was an amazing character. After watching that video check out the one that shows how he erects the scaffolding to dismantle the chimney.
Fred used the term "No Fear" several times in this old video from decades gone by, which I find ironic. He was the epitome of someone with big brass ones. Being quite a philosopher, in other videos he talks about the causes of some of the problems in society today, and how he thought they could be solved.
That looks kind of fun. :D One thing I've always wanted to do is climb up a radio tower, would be quite a nice view.
used to erect electrical transmission line towers some around 300' in maryland. always a wind above tree line pretty amazing views. watching snow roll in, much younger then

The GOP wants to hide the truth.
Submitted by Shaun O'Rourke (not verified) on Fri, 10/25/2013 - 3:27pm.
The NC GOP just wants to cover this up quickly because they know the true purpose of the voter ID law was revealed by ignorance. I say the official was just being honest. Two steps forward for NC and since the GOP took control.....a thousand steps backwards. Oh 2016 will be fun!

How to Claim your Feminine Power Spot and Not Get Burned
Then you need to learn when to shut up. Yes, I said shut up. Ask for what you need or want, and then be silent. Don't tell a story about why you asked for what you wanted. There is no need to overexplain, apologize, or justify your existence. Stop talking and let the other person respond to your request. Silence is golden, so don't be feel like you need to fill in the void with idle chatter. Be unshakeable in your request, and you will be unstoppable in life.
Finally, fight fire with fire. Sometimes you just need to disrupt and confront the people or things that are no longer working out for you in order to turn everything rightside up again. Light a fire under the things that are burning up your time, your finances, your relationships or your life. If you don't show up, claim your feminine power spot, and deal with your issues head on, you may wind up getting burned in the process. Become all consuming in your effort to clean up what needs to be cleaned up, and throw out what needs to be thrown out. It's time. Don't delay the inevitable. A fire unattended can rapidly grow out of control.
It's a new season for women entrepreneurs and women in business. And just like you know how to tell a change in the weather is coming, don't tell me you can't tell a change in the world is coming. It's a new collaboration and partnership between the feminine and the masculine. It's a season of claiming your power and leaving your unshakeable mark on the world. Stop talking and start doing. Now go out and start your own fire in life and business.

High school mistakes haunt me and I'm 24 now. Does the person you were in high school stick with you forever?
I used to be severely teased and bullied in High School. I left it behind me a long time ago. The people I went to school with are all now adults who probably have their old memories haunting them.
Only one person made my life hell in secondary school and I knocked his lights out the day I got my 'A' level certificates.. felt soooo good, as too mistakes I made in school, sure I made many but that was years ago and they were the same mistakes thousands of other people had made before and after me.. why get hung up on them, they aren't important now and the people who were there at the time can't even remember them, well except one, but that's laughed about now, an anecdote rather than a source of shame or guilt. Seriously the more you let yourself dwell on it the more you'll grind yourself down over it.. just let it go.
I was the Fat Kid in high school and now I'm sexy as .......... ahh wait nope I'm still pretty much the same

On a serious note we change once the weight of the world hits us high school is more care free then we realise later on, you can be two different people and there maybe no resembelences
nah! They just play and use sm1 to their satisfaction then dump them. Dnt dwel on da past. If you made a mistake,forgive yourxelf and turn onto a new leaf.
don't worry about the past, your 24 now, new page, i have the same problem. Those people were idiots, i would try listening to music, helps with sleep :)
It does but then again the older you get the more your sorries count if you have been a good person.
Get some counselling so you can challenge and overcome what happened to you in your formative years. You need to 'fight' this like Bruce Willis would fight a terrorist cell... not all battles are fought with fists or physical weapons .... some of the toughest battles ever have been fought within the mind.

You can let this bad experience control and dictate the active part of your life or you can vow to make a change and face things head on and deal with them.

More BlackBerry 10 L-Series pictures develop
Once again, we have a picture that compares the Apple iPhone 5 with the new BlackBerry 10 model, and we have to say that when it comes to design and style, the new 'Berry can hold its own against the competition. Wouldn't you agree? The BB10 model has a 4.2 inch screen vs, the 4 inch glass on the Apple iPhone 5, and the 'Berry offers resolution of 760 x 1280 (according to BBVietnam) vs the 640 x 1136 on Apple's smartphone.
One final picture shows how the BlackBerry 10 L-Series fits in the palm of the hand. We're getting a little closer to the January 30th introduction of BlackBerry 10, and every thing seems to be coming together nicely for Thorsten Heins and crew.

The problem is Blackberry aren't seen as a threat.....just yet anyway. The reason they haven't gone after the fakes and clones in China is because they know consumers aren't likely to flock in their droves to buy a fake and these are nobody companies that most likely don't have a license to trade. Apple will only go after the legitimate one threat which will eat their marketshare in the mobile and perhaps tablet space, and that happens to be only Samsung for the time being.
Anyway, this looks promising from Blackberry, 4.2-4.5 inches is what most people would find a reasonable size and with the slick OS, I hope it all goes well for BB.

Probably Not
Future Prediction Using Probability and Statistical Inference
Although Probably Not deals with probability and statistics, it is not heavily mathematical and is not filled with complex derivations, proofs, and theoretical problem sets. This book unveils the world of statistics through questions such as what is known based upon the information at hand and what can be expected to happen. While learning essential concepts including "the confidence factor" and "random walks," readers will be entertained and intrigued as they move from chapter to chapter. Moreover, the author provides a foundation of basic principles to guide decision making in almost all facets of life including playing games, developing winning business strategies, and managing personal finances.
Much of the book is organized around easy-to-follow examples that address common, everyday issues such as:
How travel time is affected by congestion, driving speed, and traffic lights
Why different gambling casino strategies ultimately offer players no advantage
How to estimate how many different birds of one species are seen on a walk through the woods
Seemingly random events—coin flip games, the Central Limit Theorem, binomial distributions and Poisson distributions, Parrando's Paradox, and Benford's Law—are addressed and treated through key concepts and methods in probability. In addition, fun-to-solve problems including "the shared birthday" and "the prize behind door number one, two, or three" are found throughout the book, which allow readers to test and practice their new probability skills. Requiring little background knowledge of mathematics, readers will gain a greater understanding of the many daily activities and events that involve random processes and statistics.
Combining the mathematics of probability with real-world examples, Probably Not is an ideal reference for practitioners and students who would like to learn more about the role of probability and statistics in everyday decision making.less
