North South University is the top list private university in Bangladesh, was established more than 18 years ago by a group of philanthropists, industrialists, bureaucrats and academics. The government of Bangladesh approved the establishment of North South University in 1992 under Private University Act (PUA) 1992 (now replaced by PUA 2010). The university was formally inaugurated on 10 February 1993 by then Prime Minister of Bangladesh. The honorable President of the People's Republic of Bangladesh is the Chancellor of NSU. Its motto is "Center of Excellence in Higher Education". The university follows the American system with all its distinctive features-semesters, credit hours, letter grades, one examiner system and so on. Its curricula, when first introduced, were reviewed by relevant departments of University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, and University of California at Berkeley, USA, and duly approved by University Grants Commission. The academic programs are continually updated and adapted to meet the local needs. The university, where the language of instruction is English, offers a number of undergraduate and masters degrees in the fields of Business Administration, Computer Science, Electrical and Telecommunications Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Life Sciences, Pharmacy, Environmental Management, Economics, English, Architecture, etc. It also offers courses for general and continuing education. Zillur Rahman, President of Bangladesh, by custom for all universities in Bangladesh, is nominally the Chancellor of the university. Mr. Hafiz G.A. Siddiqi is serving as Vice Chancellor. NSU currently has around 200 full-time and 150 part-time faculty members, all of whom, as a requirement, possess postgraduate qualifications from abroad: most of them from the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. Chairman: Dr. David W. Strangway, Founder Vice Chancellor, Quest University, Canada, and Former Vice Chancellor, University of British Columbia, Canada.
Administration The President of the Republic is ex-officio Chancellor of the university. Vice Chancellor is the Chief Executive of the University. Each academic department has its own head. Each academic department has a program director for every academic program. On top of the administration, there is the Board of Governors (BoG), headed by a chairperson who oversees policy matters.
The most notable achievement of the university is the construction of its own campus which it claims will at last improve educational quality. The university's campus is in Bashundhara, Dhaka. The foundation of the current campus was laid on January 30, 2003 by Begum Khaleda Zia. Classes started in the permanent campus from June 9, 2009. This campus is claimed to be capable of serving approximately 4,000 to 12,000 students with amenities and facilities. It is claimed to be comprised of six buildings with 3 basement on 6 acres of land having 125,000sq.ft. of floorspace. The units are Administrative building, North Academic Building (NAC), South Academic Building (SAC), Open Theater Building, Library and the Auditorium. The School of Business and the School of Arts and Social Sciences are located in North Academic Building (NAC) and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the School of Life Sciences are located in South Academic Building (SAC). The resource lab is located in library building level 6.

Secret Conversations
Some years ago it was discovered that the new American embassy in Moscow was so loaded with electronic listening devices that every single conversation in the place could be picked up and recorded by the Russians, giving them instant access to private conversations. In fact, one report said that the entire steel structure of the building was like a giant antenna. Our governmental leaders were outraged, and rightly so.
A breach in confidentiality in foreign relations can be dangerous and costly. Private conversations are meant to be just that . private! When privacy is invaded, something is very wrong. When confidentiality is betrayed, sparks begin to fly! No one wants their private conversations made public.
We are all aware that private conversations go on between people, but did you know there are private conversations going on inside of you? We all talk to ourselves and carry on private conversations in our minds. These secret conversations we have with ourselves can be damaging or strengthening. One thing is for sure, it's probably a good thing there aren't electronic listening devices that can record and play back the private conversations that run through our mind each day.
1 Describe how you felt when someone in your life took a private conversation you had with them and made it public information.
What impact did this have on your relationship?
Read John 8:31-32, 42-47
2 Describe the vivid and contrasting portraits of Jesus and Satan in this passage.
3 How does Jesus challenge the belief system of the religious leaders of His day?
How can these challenges speak to "religious" people today?
Read Snapshot "Secret Conversations About Your Self-Worth"
Your secret conversations about your own worth or value are enormously important. If we could put an electronic listening device on some people, we might hear something like, "Everybody looks so normal and happy. What's the matter with me? Why don't I feel happy? Why can't I be more relaxed and secure? It's because I'm not attractive, bright, and witty like everyone else. And I'm certainly not as spiritual. Face it, I don't measure up. I really don't matter at all."
Many conversations like this happen in the minds of people throughout the day. In fact, some people experience steady streams of self-talk that denigrate their self-worth day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. These conversations are not benign banterings; rather like a deadly cancer, they take a dreadful toll.
Contrast the above conversation with the private conversation going on in someone else's mind: "I live my day among countless people and yet the God of the Universe is thinking of me each moment. He knows my name. The hairs of my head are numbered. He enjoys my fellowship, prayers, and worship. He delights in me as I walk with Him. I can feel His smile as I seek to follow Him each day." Can you hear the difference? One conversation ends in defeat and discouragement, the other in praise and celebration. When we think about it this way, it's easy to see how our secret conversations about our self-worth have a powerful impact on our lives.
4 Most of us have secret conversations about our self-worth that cover both sides of the above spectrum. If your fellow small group members could hear your secret conversations about your self-worth, what is one thing they would learn about you?
5 When you have positive secret conversations about your own self-worth, what are the sources of this positive view of yourself?
Read Snapshot "Secret Conversations About Personal Competency"
We need to be very sensitive about our private conversations when it comes to the area of personal competency. Imagine two people driving to their first day of a new job. One is in the car saying to himself, "This is going to be a disaster. I'm in way over my head. I'm going to wind up blowing this thing. I never do anything well. I make stupid mistakes. I wonder how long this job will last? Probably as long as my last one."
A woman is a mile back on the same expressway holding her own private conversation. She's saying, "You know, first days are always awkward. But that's life. The awkwardness will pass. It always does. I can probably learn the ropes with a little time, and all I have to do is give it my best shot. I'll probably do just fine, especially with help from above. I'm going to trust You today, Lord, and I know that You never fail."
Which of these two people has a better chance of succeeding? When it comes to personal competency matters, self-talk is critical!
6 Choose one of the areas listed below and give an example of what a negative secret conversation about personal competency might sound like:
Going out on a first date
Starting a small business
Being asked to serve in a church ministry
Going back to school for additional education
What can you do to fight against the natural tendency to have these kinds of debilitating negative secret conversations?
7 Using the same area you chose above, give an example of what a positive secret conversation about personal competency might sound like.
What can you do to develop a more positive internal dialogue about your personal competency?
Read Snapshot "Secret Conversations About Spiritual Matters"
As in personal matters, self-talk can also flow freely, and often unconsciously, in the area of spiritual matters. The importance of spiritual self-talk cannot be overemphasized. The quality of your life-and perhaps your eternal destiny-hinges upon your private spiritual conversations and the subsequent conclusions you come to in those internal dialogues.
Some people talk to themselves with real honesty. They say, "I know I have sinned against God and have made a mess of my life. I also know I am lost without a Savior to make things right between me and God." These people cry out, "Jesus, thank You for giving Your whole life for me. You have offered me a new beginning and forgiveness for all my sins. Without You I am lost, and because of You I have been found." This is the most important private conversation we can ever have.
Others fight the truth and continue to tell themselves lies. They say, "There is no God. There is no heaven or hell. I won't ever be judged for the life I have lived and the decisions I have made." Sometimes they even try to comfort themselves by saying, "If there is a God and a heaven, I'm sure things will work out in the end. I've been a pretty good person." These private conversations can be more costly than most people ever dream. They are secret lies which keep people from recognizing their need for a Savior.
8 If you have come to the point where you have told the truth to God and acknowledged your need of His saving power in your life, how has this spiritual truth-telling transformed your life?
9 If you have not come to the point where you have admitted to God that you need a Savior, what is standing in the way?
Four-Step Process
1. Take time to reflect on the thoughts that pass through your mind in the course of a day. Try to become keenly aware of any private conversations you are having.
2. Make sure everything you are saying to yourself is truthful, no matter how much it hurts or how uncomfortable or exposed you feel. Evaluate your private conversations about self-worth, personal competency, and spiritual matters.
3. Locate any lie that finds its way into your internal dialogues. Then label it as a lie! A lie cannot be tolerated. It needs to be exposed.
4. Once the lie is exposed and labeled for what it is, it needs to be renounced and replaced with the truth of God. Study the Bible to discover God's truth. If you need help in a specific area, ask another follower of Christ to help you discover God's truth in this area of your life.
The Truth Will Set You Free!
Take time in the coming week to memorize this passage from John 8:31-32:
To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

Age 32 Role/Show Barney on CBS' How I Met Your Mother You might remember him from Doogie Howser, M.D.; Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle He's a scene-stealer because We fought about it you know, weakly, because who are we kidding? but we're going to have to give Mother's lovable sleazebag Barney exactly what he wants: more attention. Harris' performance is so inventive, so kinetic, and so out-there that he's the No. 1 scene-stealer on any new television show this fall. We're not surprised; Harris has done this before, even though he claims it isn't his goal to be a thief. ''No, really! I just try and get good roles and hope that they're memorable.'' Sure, funnyman. So it's a coincidence that the Doogie star got excellent stage notices for Assassins and Rent? It wasn't his master plan to steal the movie from both Kumar and Harold by filling a role meant for a Neil Patrick Harris type? He claims not. ''When a script comes down the pike that says there's a part in it for Neil Patrick Harris, I gotta really stink up the audition to not get that job,'' he says. Okay, but what about Barney? ''Barney's such an extreme character. He always was, even from the pilot. So you're sort of required to take a strong stab at it.''
Barney, extreme? To say the least. The perpetually be-suited wannabe lothario, who Harris says is a cocktail of David Spade, Michael Richards' Kramer, radio personality Tom Leykis, and Larry from Three's Company, is ''the guy that wants everyone to talk about him.... He needs to be the guy who created the epic evening, or the catchphrase that stuck. He wants to be heralded and known throughout the annals of cultural history.'' How such a megalomaniacal pain-in- the-annals-of-cultural-history could still be endearing, we don't know. But somehow Barney is. ''For all of Barney's bravado, he doesn't mean any harm. He talks a good game about all the numbers he's gonna lose and all the strippers he's gonna date, and none of that really comes to fruition.'' There's also the inescapable reality that Barney, whose best friend, Ted (Josh Radnor), is obsessively looking for a life partner, is going to be one lonely dude at some point. ''He doesn't want Ted to settle down with anyone. And seeing as the show's called How I Met Your Mother, I think Barney might not win.'' Best moment Bribing TV-reporter pal Robin (Cobie Smulders) with ever-increasing sums to perform embarrassing stunts on the air (including ''honking'' her boobs).
Age 50 Role/Show Sheriff Tom Underlay on ABC's Invasion You might remember him from As the World Turns; Contact; Crash He's a scene-stealer because While hurricanes swirl, shadowy government agents plot, and glowing fish-aliens light up Invasion's Florida waters, Fichtner is still the scariest thing on screen. The sheriff's eerie calm at the notion that his wife may be growing gills proves he knows way more about what's in the water than he lets on. He's either a seriously misunderstood good guy, or bad...very bad. Best moment The look of serenity on Underlay's face when what appears to be an attempt to drown a teenage boy is actually a lesson in SCUBA (supremely creepy underwater breathing ability).

Blackhawks fans watched Brooks Orpik steamroll their captain on Sunday night, likely the hardest hit he's taken in his NHL career save for the Willie Mitchell massacre, and come up wounded. They had to have panicked with playoffs on the horizon. I know I immediately tweeted something to the affect of "Welp, bet losing Toews throws a wrench into the Blackhawks playoff hopes" (or something with a similar message). It didn't look promising.
Well, the good news is Orpik apparently didn't turn Toews' shoulder into ground chuck, and he's going to be back for playoffs "at 100%."
What that confident statement from coach Joel Quenneville says to me is that the Blackhawks are in a unique situation for a hockey team: they know exactly who they're going to play in the first round despite there still being a half-dozen games and two weeks to go in their season, so there's no need to rush anyone back. I'm willing to bet they aren't that passionate about beating themselves up down the stretch to earn home ice. A healthy team on the road is better than a damaged one at home.
So the Hawks wisely want to maximize his rest time before heading into the same field of battle they've conquered twice in the last four years, and rightfully so. They know the physical sacrifice it takes. But for Toews, and quite possibly his also-wounded partner-in-crime Patrick Kane, that first game might not be easy, especially since they'll likely be opening up in a fired-up building in Denver, Colorado. Those fans haven't seen a playoff game since 2009-10, and that young Avs team is going to come out like gangbusters.
A funny thing with coming back from injury though: it's hard be focused on the game, the puck or positional play right out of the gate, as much as you want to be. It's too easy to be distracted by your own internal focus, as you judge yourself with every stride. You're judging how far along your injury is (okay, how much does *this* move hurt), how much you can use it (can I take hits?), and trying to figure out if you're pushing it too soon. You can tell someone not to worry about their injury, but if I ask you to shoot a basketball a couple weeks after breaking your finger, I doubt I could talk you into making the rim and net the first thing on your mind.
The thing with trying to figure out if it's too soon to return is that in the eyes of your teammates, the coaches, and the medical staff, once you're playing, you're playing. Once you've played in an actual game, and you get out of it with nothing happening…why can't you play in the game two days from now, sorry? And so, you convince yourself – in another two days it will feel even better, and you'll be able to do more. But if you don't let something heal you've given birth to a nagging injury, and people start asking "What's wrong with Player X? He hasn't done s**t" because you're hesitant to take risks and play hard for fear of the major setback.
So if you're Toews (or Kane), you'd really, really like to get in a game before playoffs so you can conduct the self-exam. You can skate all you like in practice, but nothing will make you cut as hard as you can like a game does, because why push it? When people talk about "game shape" and "game speed," think of the amount of effort it takes to keep the puck away from a defender in the corner, or stay with a shifty attacker – it's those little, tiring reactionary movements that require your stabilizing muscles so much strain that wear you down. Practice, as much as you can do stops, starts and sprints can't come close to pushing you like a game. Let alone a playoff game against a young, hungry team.
The good news for the Blackhawks is that they're offensively stacked, and have this luxury. They're likely going to finish the year with six 20-plus goal scorers (Kane, Toews, Sharp, Hossa, Saad, Shaw), and have another three forwards in the low double digits. They can produce enough with our without Toews down the stretch to finish in a comfortable spot in their division, so yes, they can rest him. And if he does come back fully healthy and they escape game one, they might be better off in the long run having him sit out the last couple weeks of the regular season. Let all those little aches and pains get right, y'know?
Jonathan Toews is a pro and likely far better than someone like myself at being able to compartmentalize, tuck the pain away, and focus on hockey. But while the Blackhawks were smart to give him the most time possible to let his injury heal, it'll put him in a tough spot in the early, crucial games. You just hope for his sake he gets out there in the first period, it feels like a million bucks, and he's right back to normal. If it bothers him early, the battle with internal focus will last a lot longer.

COLUMBIA FALLS- Governor Brian Schweitzer paid a visit to a new one of a kind facility in Columbia Falls that uses algae and wood to produce energy.
The governor toured Algae AquaCulture Technology, which is located behind Stoltze Lumber, taking part in a special dedication at the Green Power House.
The giant greenhouse uses a natural process with algae that creates electricity, biofuel and rich organic soil fertilizer, and Schweitzer told us the facility is way ahead of its time.
"Well this is a grand opening of better living through science. This is capturing the power of algae. And you know the algae will sorta be using scrap material to produce energy and also soil amendments," he commented.
The algae is fueled by the waste biomass that is left over from the Stoltze Lumber mill.

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 (37-1) <A psalm for David, for a remembrance of the sabbath.> (37-2) Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; nor chastise me in thy wrath. | 1 O LORD, do not rebuke me in your anger or discipline me in your wrath. |
2 (37-3) For thy arrows are fastened in me: and thy hand hath been strong upon me. | 2 For your arrows have pierced me, and your hand has come down upon me. |
3 (37-4) There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins. | 3 Because of your wrath there is no health in my body; my bones have no soundness because of my sin. |
4 (37-5) For my iniquities are gone over my head: and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me. | 4 My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear. |
5 (37-6) My sores are putrefied and corrupted, because of my foolishness. | 5 My wounds fester and are loathsome because of my sinful folly. |
6 (37-7) I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: I walked sorrowful all the day long. | 6 I am bowed down and brought very low; all day long I go about mourning. |
7 (37-8) For my loins are filled with illusions; and there is no health in my flesh. | 7 My back is filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body. |
8 (37-9) I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: I roared with the groaning of my heart. | 8 I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart. |
9 (37-10) Lord, all my desire is before thee, and my groaning is not hidden from thee. | 9 All my longings lie open before you, O Lord; my sighing is not hidden from you. |
10 (37-11) My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, and the light of my eyes itself is not with me. | 10 My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes. |
11 (37-12) My friends and my neighbours have drawn near, and stood against me. And they that were near me stood afar off: | 11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds; my neighbors stay far away. |
12 (37-13) And they that sought my soul used violence. And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, and studied deceits all the day long. | 12 Those who seek my life set their traps, those who would harm me talk of my ruin; all day long they plot deception. |
13 (37-14) But I, as a deaf man, heard not: and as a dumb man not opening his mouth. | 13 I am like a deaf man, who cannot hear, like a mute, who cannot open his mouth; |
14 (37-15) And I became as a man that heareth not: and that hath no reproofs in his mouth. | 14 I have become like a man who does not hear, whose mouth can offer no reply. |
15 (37-16) For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God. | 15 I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God. |
16 (37-17) For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me. | 16 For I said, "Do not let them gloat or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips." |
17 (37-18) For I am ready for scourges: and my sorrow is continually before me. | 17 For I am about to fall, and my pain is ever with me. |
18 (37-19) For I will declare my iniquity: and I will think of my sin. | 18 I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin. |

The vast majority of these provisions, along with the recordkeeping requirements, traceability, mandatory recall authority, will do absolutely nothing to prevent food-borne disease outbreaks from occurring but will do plenty, do plenty, to keep Federal bureaucrats busy. And these are all the sorts of things that could be worked out through the normal legislative process, but only if there's a process.
Mr. Speaker, let me return to where I started. We have the safest food supply in the world. Anyone who follows current events knows that our food production system faces ongoing food safety challenges, and I stand ready to work with my colleagues, all of my colleagues, to address those challenges.
Our Nation's farmers, ranchers, packers, processors, retailers, and consumers deserve better.
Stupak, Bart U.S. Representative
[D] Michigan
Mr. STUPAK. I thank the gentleman for yielding and for the kind words. As I wrap up my 18 years in the U.S. House of Representatives, this is a good bill in which to wrap up a career. I first introduced food safety legislation along with Mr. Dingell and Mr. Pallone and now-Senator Brownback in 1997. For 14 years we have been fighting to try to update our Nation's food safety laws.
And then as chair of Oversight and Investigations, we have held over 13 hearings on food-borne illnesses from spinach, peanut butter, jalapenos, and most recently tainted eggs. Why was all this necessary? As has been noted, our food laws have not been updated since 1938. And we know more and more of our foods are coming from different sources and different countries. But this year and each year approximately 77 million Americans become ill because of food-borne illnesses, 325,000 arehospitalized, and up to 5,000 Americans will die, some of our most vulnerable Americans, such as children and senior citizens, those whose immune systems have been weakened or are not fully developed.
But if you are a young child and you do survive, what kind of life do you have after you have spent time in a hospital getting a new kidney? You face a lifetime of medication and bankruptcy of your family. We must act now to pass this food safety bill. This bill contains many good provisions, including the trace-back provision, which is designed to make it easier to prevent and respond to outbreaks in food-borne illnesses.

Department of Family Medicine
Curriculum of Spirituality and Health Course
FAMMD 862 Clinical Medicine Spirituality and Health Course
Course Location: Downtown Family Medicine Clinic.
Course Description: Taking a spiritual history and referring patients with spiritual concerns to chaplains or ministers are basic clinical skills that every medical provider should learn. Inquiry into the spiritual areas of patients' lives, previously considered taboo, is now taught as a method of delivering more "whole person," comprehensive and compassionate care at the majority of medical schools. Spiritual inquiry is justified by the need to obtain important medical information and explore the patient's point of view regarding their illness, but must be done in such a way that respects the patient's privacy, confidentiality, and autonomy. Effectively integrating spiritual sensitivity into clinical practice is a challenge that should be addressed by all physicians and clinical care providers.
Course Objectives:
- Learning Spiritual History
- Integrating Sensitivity to Spiritual Needs into the Clinical Encounter
- Become Knowledgeable regarding available Spiritual and Religious resources in the hospital and community
- Develop skill and proficiency in taking a spiritual history and determining patients' spiritual needs effectively

Overcoming Obstacles: CIS Sucess Stories January 2011
January 26, 2011
Communities In Schools of North Carolina is excited to kick off a year-long video series called "Overcoming Obstacles: CIS Success Stories" with a first piece on mentoring, celebrating January 2011 as the 10th Annual National Mentoring Month.
In line with January as National Mentoring Month, this first video tells the wonderful story of a mentor/mentee match in Wilkes County, NC. Thanks to two CIS of Wilkes programs—Lunch Buddies and Friends of Youth—a relationship with a caring adult that began when Jessica Mitchell was a second grader has continued and deepened, and will no doubt prove to be life-long. Now a soon-to-graduate high school senior, Jessica and mentor "Miss Essie" can celebrate being an example of the very thing CIS sets out to do: to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.
Visit CISNC's blog to read multimedia storyteller Justin Cook's reflections on working with Miss Essie and Jessica.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan said Sunday that his country's relations with Israel will never
return to normal before Turkey's demands are met for apology and
compensation over a deadly Israeli raid on a flotilla as well as the
removal of an Israeli embargo on Gaza.
He also accused Israel of being "very cruel" against Palestinians.
"For the time being, I can clearly and frankly state that the relations
between Israel and Turkey have been broken on the basis of an issue ...
which began when a flotilla bearing humanitarian aid was trying to get to
Gaza," the prime minister told CNN in an interview.
Turkey expelled the Israeli ambassador and froze military ties and defense
trade deals with Turkey early this month, as Israel refused to apologize
over the ship raid in May 2010, which led to the killing of eight Turks
and one U.S. citizen of Turkish origin.
"We demanded that they apologize, pay compensation and eliminate the
embargo on Gaza once and for all," Erdogan said. "If these demands are not
met, relations between Israel and Turkey will never become normal again."
U.S. President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton met
with Turkish and Israeli leaders last week in New York on the sidelines of
the UN General Assembly, calling on its two close allies to better
relations with each other.
In his interview with CNN, Erdogan challenged Israel in its claim of
Palestinians' "bombing and disturbing" the Israeli people with many deaths
incurred, demanding "accurate statistics."
"But on the other hand, we know that hundreds of thousands of Palestinians
were killed," he said. "Only as a result of the Gaza attack, thousands of
people were killed. These are very clear remarks."
"The Israeli people are only resorting back to the issue of genocide in
history," he continued. "And using that genocide, they are always acting
as if they are the victims all the time. We said, for that, go ask Germany
to pay its dues and they have. So Germany has paid and is still paying its
dues to Israel."
"But neither Turkey nor the Muslims in the region have such a problem.
They have never exerted such cruelty on Israel," the prime minister said.
"But Israel is very cruel in that regard. It shows no mercy."

Election Sermons Urged Election Of Christians Only, Men Who "Subjected Themselves To The Rule Of Christ's Kingdom"
By John Lofton, Editor
As we approach a national election next year, we would do well to ponder and meditate upon what Christian pastors used to preach regarding who is qualified to hold elected offices.
In the book "Religion In American History: Interpretive Essays" (Prentice-Hall, 1978), in a chapter titled "The Election Sermons," A.W. Plumstead tells us that the custom of opening the annual General Court in May with an election sermon was unique to New England. Such sermons were given in Connecticut (1674- 1830), New Hampshire (1784-1831), in Vermont (1777-1834). But it was in the Massachusetts Bay Colony where this tradition began and ended (1634-1884).
We are told that preaching the election sermon was a challenge since the audience was a geographical and political cross-section of Governor, Deputy- Governor, clergy, outgoing Magistrates (who hoped to be re-elected) and voting Deputies.
And this type of sermon was more than an address to the individual conscience; "it was the center of a ritual in which a community gave thanks and took stock. As one contemporary observer put it, it was a time 'when the heads of our tribes are met together in a solemn assembly to give thanks to the God of heaven for the many great and distinguishing privileges, both civil and religious, which we are favored with; and to ask direction and a blessing from on high, upon all the administrations of government in the land….'"
In his book "Jerusalem Instructed And Warned" (Boston, 1725), Ebenezer Thayer says if election preachers were to offer thanks for greatness received, they were also to be "watchmen upon Jerusalem's wall, whose proper business is to descry dangers, and give seasonable notice thereof; to observe the sins of the times, and the awful symptoms of God's departure."
Colonial preachers had a deep and nervous sense of their role as prophets and "watchmen," and the election sermon was the high point of this responsibility.
Says Plumstead: "Colonial Puritanism [had] a concern with the cold facts of building God's city on a hill here and now in the sun and cold of Massachusetts. The election sermon was…an annual trumpet call to review the essential laws which God put into the Bible for all to see pertaining to how Christians in covenant should govern themselves as God required."
Up until 1775 election sermons contained several related points and themes: The significance and responsibilities of the covenant, of being God's chosen people; the divine source of government and God's sanction of the study of political science; reminding politicians of their duties to God and offering guidance to the Church in civil and political affairs.
In a 1676 election sermon, William Hubbard told Deputies to remember their place, to remember to elect Godly men as Assistants, and then leave them to govern.
Indeed, the subject of one election sermon in 1694 — "The Character Of A Good Ruler" became the most frequent topic in this tradition, accounting for over half of such sermons until 1775. In 1707, Samuel Beicher declared that the people of Massachusetts have placed great trust in their Deputies. Thus, it was important to elect only those who "have subjected themselves to the rule of Christ's Kingdom" (emphasis mine).
Plumstead says: "The ideal Councilman to be elected (and the ideal Governor whom, they hoped, the King had appointed) must be wise, Godly, just….(This concept, lying dormant in the sermons all along, springs up as a guiding principle for resistance to George III in the sermons of 1770 and the following years of crises)."
The style of the election sermon conformed to the general threefold division of Puritan sermons everywhere in the 17th century. First, there was a Biblical text followed by an "Explication" which "opens up" the text by a careful scrutiny of the words. Next, there was the "Doctrine" of the sermon. Finally, the "Application" of the "Doctrine" and "Propositions" or the use of the "Doctrine." The sermon usually concluded with a direct word to each section of the audience. After (in Massachusetts) a tribute to the Governor, the House of Representatives "is reminded of its duty to elect Godly men to the Council."

Senioritis, noun: A crippling disease that strikes high school seniors. Symptoms include: laziness, an over-excessive wearing of track pants, old athletic shirts and sweatshirts. Also features a lack of studying, repeated absences and a generally dismissive attitude. The only known cure is a phenomenon known as Graduation.
Senioritis is common among many high school seniors. You've worked hard for three years, are now waiting for acceptance letters from the universities you applied to and want to blow off some steam (finally). Although you may want to take a much needed mental break. Don't!
Senior year is your opportunity to strengthen your skills while broadening your horizons. Rather than taking a lighter load, we suggest you enroll in AP courses or other classes that challenge you. A few other tips we suggest for combating senioritis include keeping a calendar of your activities and important deadlines. We also suggest you stay involved in extracurriculars, volunteer work and sports that help you stay focused. Plus, these activities look great on your college application! Just remember to not let senioritis rule you because Butler University does take both first and second semester grades into consideration (the same goes for quarters or trimesters after the date in which you applied).
Do you have any tips on how you've over come senioritis? Share with us!

The Ahwahnee, Yosemite National Park, CA
Art Deco, Native American, Middle Eastern, and Arts and Crafts influences all contributed to this 1927 landmark's design. More recently, a renovation drew upon Yosemite's historical archives to determine appropriate textiles and colors, giving an English country-house look to the interiors—rich tapestries, stained glass, and hand-stenciled beams. The most elaborate rooms feature balconies and views of Glacier Point, Yosemite Falls, or Half Dome. After a day in the great outdoors, take your complimentary afternoon tea on the patio overlooking Glacier Point.

Are planetary nebulae the result of supernovae?
No, they are two entirely different things. A planetary nebula is born when a low mass star dies (low mass means less than about 8 times the mass of the Sun), while the supernova is the death of a massive star.
In low mass stars, the outer envelope of the star is ejected out while the core of the star becomes a "white dwarf". The ejected envelope expands away from the central star and creates the nebula that we see. So, if you look at the pictures of classic planetary nebulae like the Ring nebula, you will be a ring of material with a star in the center. The ring of material was once part of the star in the center, but now has been ejected. The central star is now a white dwarf.
In high mass stars, the story is entirely different. Nuclear fusion in the core produces elements all the way to iron. Once the mass of the iron core exceeds a certain threshold, it collapses causing shock waves to propagate outwards. The end result is the titanic explosion called the supernova, leaving behind a neutron star or a black hole. The exploded remains of the star form a "supernova remnant". Examples are the Crab nebula (M1 in Taurus) and the Veil nebula in Cygnus. Hence, a supernova produces a supernova remnant and not a planetary nebula.

The former Atlantic City Hilton has a new game plan and it's all about value and locals— in a sense.
New menus, however, with reduced prices — entrees will be priced between $12-$18 at all the restaurants, says Frawley — are slated to be unveiled March 1. Frawley says overall the menu prices will be "competitive with any local neighborhood restaurant."
Although the room rates for the Atlantic Club's 816 rooms will stay the same as they are, Frawley says he wants to eliminate parking fees at the property.
"What makes us different and unique is that this commitment to value is total," adds Frawley. "This is variety and value from top to bottom."
Frawley says the company will be hiring a new sales team to go out into regional communities in about a 40-mile radius and meet with local businesses to develop partnerships and relationships.
"We are a business like any other business in this town," says Frawley. "We are going to be very aggressive with our relationships with local businesses, and by local it doesn't mean that it's around the corner. It means that if you are a partner with us we will have a cooperative marketing relationship. We feel that the key to our success lays in our relationships with businesses.
"Whether the businesses be small or whether they be large, the first part of this is that we believe you should be able to use some of the comp dollars that you earn here at some of our partner businesses. We believe that it benefits everyone and we're going to be very aggressive."
Although no entertainment has been booked yet (the company is going to start the transition by focusing on gaming) for the Atlantic Club's showroom, its Beach Bar will be open this summer with live entertainment, says Frawley.
"From new signage on the building outside to interior renovations on the casino floor, The Atlantic Club is a property in motion to begin in March and to be completed by late spring."
The renovations, says Frawley, will be all about "comfort" and "value."
"Our aim is to be a part of this local business community and it's a key to our success moving forward."
"The "savvy consumers" will go right past this "intimate" ashtray to the Revel where they won't have to suck smoke. The owners of the Atlantic Club will get savvy about clean, breathable air too late, after the Revel shows them how it's done. They are determined to miss a golden opportunity."
"Hilton was a cool enough place. All kinds of decent comps to even the lighter players. Nice rooms, Food, Shows. Fitness Center/ Pool. It was more intimate and no theme like Bally's Wild West but cozy. Enough room to get the deed done. I came to play and play I did! Didn't like the change to mostly penny machines. Hope the boardwalk speakers still play the great music and the remaining of the Beach Side Club.
As for cancer, I am a non-smoker but I assume there will be smokers; not nec'. blowing it in others faces. What's next, No Cologne, no alcohol because of the smell? Give me a break.
There will always be a niche for this club - just hope it's enough to keep it afloat. The New Hard Rock Casino going up next door will bring more traffic to the Atlantic as well.
I Like the Hilton and will keep them in my itinerary as long as they remain loyal to their players."
"I'm a Hilton Honors Diamond Member who stayed at the Atlantic City Hilton who's high standards in customer service and cleanliness exceeded most casino's. I still plan to visit this month for another stay. Can't express my concern enough in the change as it was comfortable and pleasantly pleasing right over to the bell hop. I'm glad new ownershiip will eliminate parking for lodging.
I'm a non smoker who rarely drinks alcohol. I've never felt overcome by tobacco smoke in the gaming areas or anywhere in its interior. It's either prohibited or restricted to desinated areas in most casino's very unlike it was years ago. Alcohol and tobacco are legal. Seriously "why not add unhealthy eating to the till you choke and die from clogged arteries list." Perhaps breathing the obnoxious air in polluted industrialized city's where innocent people do daily while dying unwillingly of cancer. I'm still planning my trip from VA to AC. Additionally traveling through some of the heavily polluted areas of NJ to visit my folks in NYC who are well into their 80's who frequented the casino's back in the day.
Keynote to the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel's key to success of late has been giving locals plenty of bang for their buck (see this week's cover story), and at the forefront of that plan has been a jazz brunch series at Ono Chinese Bistro every Sunday and some of the best blues musicians in the business performing every Friday and Saturday night at BB's Burger Bar.
Seventeen months after changing its name and re-branding itself as an affordable casino catering to a largely local market, the Atlantic Club Casino Hotel is showing a new side.
Pending approval by New Jersey casino regulators, the Meruelo Group of Downey, California, will purchase Trump Plaza for $20 million, and plans to close the deal by the end of May.
Sandra Bernhard's career has had the ups and downs one might expect from her primary profession as a stand-up comic. Her career has also included professional singing (not just in her stand-up but with several albums and a hit dance single) and an acting career in movies that got off to a brilliant beginning in Martin Scorsese's King of Comedy (1983).
Revel reportedly outbid another Atlantic City Casino to book the popular pop rock band, but it's unlikely they'll actually christen the new showroom.
ATLANTIC CITY — At a recent press conference, it was announced that the former Atlantic City Hilton (which has gone by the moniker ACH Casino Resort in recent months) will now be known, starting in March, as the "Atlantic Club Casino Hotel." Atlantic City Weekly editor Jeff Schwachter attended the press conference and will post more [...]
For the last couple of years, rumors of ACH's (formerly the Atlantic City Hilton) imminent closing have been as abundant as cheesesteaks on the Boardwalk. But now it looks like the casino has not only survived, it's going to get an infusion of cash. The Associated Press reports that the property's owner have reached a deal [...]
According to a report from the Associated Press, the Atlantic City Hilton Casino Resort is no longer a Hilton. The casino has lost its licensing deal with Hilton and taken a new name, ACH. The new name is already up on the Web site although the Hilton name is still attached to other aspects of the [...]
The Atlantic Club Locals Plus program is devoted exclusively to local players. Locals Plus is the casino's way of giving you more of what you deserve — a great value, great rewards, and a great time.
As with the former Atlantic City Hilton (currently dubbed simply ACH), the Vegas Hitlon is owned by the investment group Colony Capital LLC, "a pioneer among private-equity investors that gambled big on casinos starting in the 1990s, before its luck recently went cold," according to the WSJ report.

Tools and Tactics are replicable templates Connectors can use to multiply and amplify action and collaboration in their communities. We find they also make for great stories about people all over the world who are promoting good in interesting ways.
Organizations need helping hands of all kinds. Those with skills in especially great demand—like lawyers—do an extra-good deed when they donate their time and expertise to people who need it. If you're a lawyer or work in a law firm, this Tool and Tactic can show you how you can help nonprofits and individuals who could benefit from your support.
Jessica Perrin is Head of NGO and Social Enterprise for TrustLaw Connect, the Thomson Reuters Foundation's global pro bono service, based in London. Below, she tells us why it's so great to go pro bono.
Q: How did you get into pro bono work, and what's your favorite thing about it?
A: Up until joining TrustLaw, my career had firmly been on the NGO side. When I made the jump to the pro bono sector and started here, I knew we had something big to offer. I knew the value of external expertise for NGOs, and I knew that without it most organisations aren't able to have the impact they set out to.
So, what does it look like sitting on the other side of the table? In all honesty, it's pretty wonderful.
Instead of working with beneficiaries who want to create change in their own lives, I have walked into a buzzing network of passionate lawyers who are willing to help create that change using their own expertise, and from their desk! This means my day job is saying 'yes' to NGOs who reach out for pro bono legal support, 'yes' to helping them grow, 'yes' to helping them have an impact, and 'yes' to my favourite question of all: 'Is it really free?'

Researchers at the Alfred Deakin Research Institute conduct high quality research, founded in the social sciences and humanities, which promotes public debate and policy impact. Our researchers are particularly engaged with questions relating to Australia and change in the world. We build links across disciplinary areas and with external partners, according to key research questions.
The Alfred Deakin Research Institute was established in 2009 as a major initiative of Deakin University. We have created a vibrant research community that, since 2010, has secured $6.8 million in research income (including more than $5.2 million in Australian competitive grants); supported 24 postdoctoral fellows, many of whom have gone on to secure further academic appointments; and supervised 35 higher degree by research candidates through to completion.
The institute comprises both research-only scholars and teaching and researching academics. In both cases, our members are ambitious, active researchers committed to research excellence and impact. Members work across all of Deakin's four campuses: Geelong Campus at Waurn Ponds; Geelong Waterfront Campus; Melbourne Campus at Burwood; and Warrnambool Campus. The Institute's headquarters are at the Geelong Waterfront Campus.
Alfred Deakin Research Institute researchers operate in one or more of three thematic research groups:
Strategic Research Plan 2014-17
A copy of our Strategic Research Plan over the years 2014-17 can be downloaded here.
From its foundation in the humanities and social sciences, the Alfred Deakin Research Institute pursues research that makes a difference for Australia and the world.
The institute bears the name of Alfred Deakin (1856-1919), barrister, journalist, intellectual, spiritualist, political visionary, gifted orator, and three-time prime minister. He was the dominant figure of Australia's first decade following Federation. The Institute draws on and honours the legacy of Alfred Deakin and the contribution he made to the development of Australia's political and social institutions.
Although Australia has seen profound changes since Deakin's retirement from federal politics in 1913, his thinking still stimulates public debate. He is remembered for his far-sightedness in relation to Australia's role in its region and Australia's relations with the United States and India. Moreover, Deakin argued that Australians would not fulfil their full potential unless they were proactive in connecting with other peoples: "What can we know of Australia if we limit our inquiries within our borders, to the neglect of our relations far and near...?"

On the cusp of Facebook's initial public offering (IPO), we take a look at just what's on offer, and what that might mean for the social media giant's more than one billion users.
Listed as a public company, Facebook is hoping to raise $5 billion from the sale of around 421 million shares, an ambitious goal which if achieved, would land them on the shortlist of largest IPOs of all time.
Next to CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 28.4% majority share, the sale would see nearly 18% of the company become public, valuing it at around $100 billion and placing fourth on the list of the world's biggest companies behind Apple, Google and McDonald's.
Analysts have been quick to warn against investing, citing the notoriously volatile performance of .COMs on the share market, but there has been significant public interest in the shares which are set to debut on the market later this week.
A cause for concern for some is the last minute release of a further 84 million shares by early backers last week including PayPal founder Peter Thiel who increased his initial release from 7.7 million to 16.8 million.
Not everyone is selling though, Instagram founder Kevin Systrom will be watching the IPO closely following the sale of his App to Facebook earlier in the year for $1 billion, much of which it was later revealed came in the form of Facebook stock.
What It Means for Users
For Facebook's 845 million active users who generate an average 2.7 billion daily likes and comments, the move to public company might see some unwelcome changes in daily functionality.
By law, when a company goes public they are obligated to continue creating increased value for their stakeholders, and while Facebook's value has grown exponentially year to year, it has yet to keep up with the demands of a large public stakeholder base.
So far advertising has proven their single greatest source of revenue, bringing in $3.7 billion last year alone, but while user numbers continue to grow, reports show overall advertising revenue from the last six months is down.
While it's safe to say advertising revenue is unlikely to dry up any time soon, there are concerns from users that options to minimise advertising on your page will disappear in the fight for advertising real estate to keep its value.
In an initial step, Facebook has announced the introduction of advertising on their mobile platform, currently an ad free space. Whether this is enough to combat the dip in ad space value however remains to be seen.

Michelin-Starred Chef
If celebrity chefs are your thing, this is your new annual event to attend. Thailand's Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok hosted the World Gourmet Festival — Sept. 3 to 9 (in its 13th year) — a splurge of culinary feasts featuring signature dishes from eight headlining chefs, as well as Master of Wine Jeannie Cho Lee, tea mixologist Robert Schinkel, and Eleveur de Fromages, Jean-François Antony. The visiting chefs and gourmet experts from around the world showcased what first put them on the map. Guests sampled avant garde recipes, sipped 'n swirled the finest of vintages and indulged in epic meals.
Chef Masa Shimakawa of Los Angeles' Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, California served his legendary Maine Lobster Cocktail. "I used seasonal fish from Tsukiji Market in Tokyo and brought California Serrano chili peppers with me," he said.
At Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai, Chef Masa Shimakawa was put to the test with the chance to host the special World Gourmet Festival Dinner for approximately 80 guests, which exceeded the maximum of the on-site banquet room, Rachawadee Residence. Guests included members of the local diplomatic circle, the local authorities, member of the Chiang Mai expat society, and loyal guests of Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai. The dinner featured traditional Japanese cuisine prepared by Chef Masa, which was paired with great Japanese sake by Kiku-Masamune Brewing Company. Guests also had an opportunity to learn more about two of Japan's most revered traditions – ikebana flower arranging and Japanese tea ceremony, performed by the experts. And guests really got into the spirit by dressing in kimonos.
At Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, Chef Michael Mina flew out specially to host a one-night exclusive dinner for 20 guests in Lan Tania, a hillcrest restaurant offering a stunning view of the ocean. His signature American cuisine was paired with superb wines.
Le 39V Chef Frédéric Vardon made his famous milk-fed veal with chanterelle mushrooms and roast jus, which delighted guests.
"The thing that really encouraged me to participate is that the values and vision match mine: we're here to make people happy," Chef Vardon said. "I'm also excited to share and exchange my knowledge with chefs from the other side of the world."
Donations of THB 500 from each dinner ticket was donated to the Save a Child's Life from AIDS foundation under the auspices of HRH Princess Soamsawali and in coordination with the Thai Red Cross.

Largest winner's check in women's golf to be decided Nov. 18-24
NAPLES, FL (MARCH 25, 2013) – CME Group Titleholders, the grand finale of the 2013 LPGA Tour season, will played at the Tiburón Golf Club located at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort Nov. 18-24 tournament officials announced today. With a unique season-long qualifying format, CME Group Titleholders brings the world's best women golfers to Southwest Florida. The top performers from each of the 28 events on this year's schedule will earn a bid to Naples for the opportunity to take home the largest winner's check in women's golf, $700,000. Last year, U.S. Women's Open Champion Na Yeon Choi defeated LPGA Rookie of the Year So Yeon Ryu by two strokes and took home $500,000.
"The increased $700,000 first-place check, the largest in women's golf, will create a dramatic race to the finish for the tour's top players," said Terry Duffy, Executive Chairman and President of CME Group. "We are proud of the strong, productive relationship we have developed with the LPGA over the years and are pleased to continue aligning our best-in-class brand with theirs, particularly as the organization further expands its reach and prominence across the globe."
CME Group Titleholders will continue as the year-end celebration of the LPGA's season and the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort will again host the season ending Rolex Awards Ceremony as part of tournament week.
"CME Group Titleholders had a great inaugural year in Naples with perfect weather, strong crowds, and great competition ending with Na Yeon Choi winning the title," said LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan. "We look forward to many years to come in Naples and are excited to be bringing the best golfers in the world to compete at Tiburon Golf Club."
Tiburón Golf Club features two Greg Norman-designed layouts, The Black Course and The Gold Course, the latter serving as the host course of the CME Group Titleholders and the Franklin Templeton Shootout, combining PGA TOUR and Champions Tour pros. Both courses have the defining characteristics of sod-wall and coquina waste bunkers surrounding greens and lining the fairway-level grass that spans than the majority of each course. The Tiburón Golf Club is also certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary by Audubon International for its commitment to enhancing and protecting the natural resources of Southwest Florida.
CME Group's Global Financial Leadership Conference – where the world's leading decision makers and thought leaders discuss geopolitical trends, economic issues and developments in the financial marketplace – is annually hosted at the Ritz-Carlton Beach Resort in Naples. "When CME Group asked if there was a possibility to combine events, the Ritz-Carlton Naples and Tiburon Golf Club jumped at the opportunity," said Bruce Seigel, Director of Sales and Marketing. "Working with such first class organizations like CME Group and the LPGA is what The Ritz-Carlton is all about. We look forward to making it a very special experience for CME Group, the LPGA Tour and their players, and of course the incredible golf community here in Naples."

The Inside Story of the Extra Second That Crashed the Web
- |
- 7:54 pm |
- Permalink
When Saturday night's leap second glitch hit Reddit, Jason Harvey didn't realize it was the leap second glitch. He thought it was some sort of internet slowdown related to the massive Amazon cloud outage that brought down some of the web's most popular services less than 24 hours earlier.
"It looked like the network was just moving really poorly," says Harvey, one of the system administrators who oversee the operation of Reddit, the popular news aggregation and discussion site. "With Amazon going down, a network problem just made sense."
But after about half an hour, Harvey and his team traced the problem to a group of their own machines running the open source Linux operating system. These servers had almost ground to a halt after failing to properly accommodate the "leap second" that was added to the world's atomic clocks on Saturday night, as June turned into July.
Depending on how quickly the earth is spinning, the planet's official time keepers periodically add an extra second to these clocks to keep them in sync with the planet's rotation. This keeps us from drifting away to a place where sunsets happen in the morning, but it can cause problems with computing systems that plug into these clocks but aren't quite agile enough to deal with that extra second.
In Reddit's case, the problem could be traced to a glitch in the Linux kernel, the core of the open source operating system. A Linux subsystem called "hrtimer" — short for high-res timer — got confused by the time change, and suddenly sparked some hyperactivity on those servers, which locked up the machines' CPUs.
Reddit was just one of several web outfits that were hit by leap second glitches just after midnight Greenwich Mean Time on Saturday, including Gawker Media and Mozilla, and these sorts of problems tend to pop up with every time there's a leap second adjustment. In January 2009, for instance, the leap second reportedly caused problems with Sun Microsystems' Solaris operating system and an Oracle software package.
"Almost every time we have a leap second, we find something," Linux's creator, Linus Torvalds, tells Wired. "It's really annoying, because it's a classic case of code that is basically never run, and thus not tested by users under their normal conditions."
The hrtimer glitch was patched in the Linux kernel this past March by a Linux kernel hacker named John Stultz, but some versions of Linux have not yet been updated to include this fix. Stultz was unavailable for comment on Monday, but in an post to an online mailing list, he discusses the problem that seemed to hit Reddit.
Inside the Crash
What actually happened to these machines? It's complicated. Even Linus Torvalds said that in order to really understand what went on, we should talk to Stultz. But after interviews with several others familiar with the problem, we have a pretty good idea of what went down.
Hrtimer is a subsystem that is used when an application is "sleeping," waiting for the OS to complete some other task. In some cases, it sets a kind of alarm clock for these sleeping applications that will go off when the OS is taking too much time with its other work.
Judging from Stultz's mailing list post, when the leap second hit and these hrtimers were suddenly a second ahead of the core OS, they started ringing those alarm clocks, waking up countless sleeping applications at once and overloading the machines' CPUs.
Reddit, however, saw something a little different. Its servers were running an open source database known as Cassandra that was built with the Java programming language and runs atop Linux. From what Jason Harvey can tell, Cassandra was failing to pause Java processes, and these processes were caught in constantly spinning loops, eating up the CPU power on Reddit's servers.
Eventually, Reddit solved the problem by rebooting its servers. The site was all but inoperable for about 30 to 40 minutes, and it was entirely offline for about an hour and a half.
While Reddit was struggling with its Cassandra servers, Gawker had issues with its Tomcat servers, and Mozilla had trouble with Hadoop. Both Hadoop and Tomcat also depend on Linux and Java, and it would seem they were hit by the same glitch.
Other systems, however, experienced problems a day before the leap second arrived. Systems such as Linux use the Network Time Protocol, or NTP, to plug into the world's atomic clocks and check the time. On Friday, NTP began warning servers that this year's leap second was on the way, and according to Opera Software system admin Marco Marongiu, at least some Opera servers started locking up when they received the announcement. This issued is discussed on a Linux mailing list here, and it's unclear how closely this issue is tied to the hrtimer problem experienced by Reddit.
