Many of the attendees at the turfgrass field day this past fall at Bladerunner farms, Poteet, Texas, seemed to agree. Zoysia has a reputation for low maintenance and low fertilizer requirements, drought tolerance, and its ability to grow in high or low pH soils. Sod farmers, golf course superintendents, university researchers and turf industry representatives from as far away as China and Hawaii traveled to the field day to survey the thousands of unique zoysia accessions in development at the Bladerunner facility. Bladerunner Farms specializes in producing many of current varieties of zoysia on the market today. Popular improved cultivars include Zeon, JaMur (originally developed by the late Jack Murray) and Y2.
Zoysia is a vegetatively propagated warm-season turfgrass that, in general, requires significantly fewer inputs of fertilizer and water when compared to other warm-season grasses such as bermudagrass or St. Augustine. Ken Mangum, golf course superintendent at Atlanta Athletic Club, and one of the speakers at the field day, says he puts as little as .75 pound of nitrogen on his zoysiagrass fairways per year. By comparison, bermudgrass fairways could require that much nitrogen or more per month in the growing season. "It's not even a contest," Mangum says.
Differences in individual cultivars dictate variations in leaf texture, from fine-bladed grasses suitable for use on golf courses, to medium textures more suited for home lawns. Differences in the cultivars can also vary in the speed of growth, color, density and many other attributes. To help discover the cultivars with the best characteristics for golf, sports field or lawn use, be it home lawns or commercial properties, Doguet enlists the help of turf researchers such as Dr. Brian Schwartz, a turf breeder at University of Georgia.
Doguet explains that even if one of these grasses were to "make the cut" it would still take years to bring it to market. Taking material from a test plot, and then expanding it into enough acreage to sell to sod farms as breeder stock, could take another three to five. It takes that long to grow enough material for release, Doguet says. Bladerunner also collaborates with turf researchers at Purdue University in central Indiana.
"When you develop something in Poteet, Texas, you want to know if it will also work in Hawaii or Atlanta. So you have to move material around to test in different locations. That's why collaboration with universities is so important," Doguet says.
For all of the grasses' many benefits, Engelke says zoysia will become a greater force in the turf marketplace because of its ability to survive through a drought. "The real issue is going to be water," he says. "A lot of cities have water restrictions. Some of these zoysias will hold their color for a whole lot longer than other species."
Schwartz agrees. He says, "I really believe the drought response is huge."

I spoke to a Sky advisor in August and asked if I could use my Sky+ box for recording only when my Sky package contract ended. I was told that I could by paying a monthly subscription of £10. I spoke to a Sky advisor today and was told there was no such thing.
Solved! Go to the solution

The adviser you spole to today was mistaken. If you subscribe to Sky Plus at £10.25 per month, you can use the record and live pause functions.

Small clouds scudded overhead, but this first Sunday in March promised to turn into a warm one -- and a great day for racing, with the town of Park City already decked out in flags and signs hailing it as one of the venues for the 2002 Winter Olympics, now less than a year away. Somewhere below, his parents, Warren and Kathy, were ringing a cowbell in anticipation of his first run. All his life, he'd been able to count on them for support, and today was no different -- although he hoped they'd stop ringing the darn thing after he left the gate. "Remember, Chris, you love the starting gate," was the last thing Kathy had told him that morning. The starting gate, and all the possibilities.
The top sixteen racers on the World Cup snowboard circuit had drawn bib numbers earlier that morning to determine who would go first; another 56 racers drew their numbers after that. As one of the points leaders, Chris had been in the first lot...and he'd drawn number 16. He wasn't pleased with the number: The more racers who went before him, the more rutted the course, and the greater the chance for a mistake. But it was a small obstacle, all things considered.
Four days of surfing in Hawaii the week before had done the Aspen resident a lot of good, relaxing him after a grueling World Cup tour through Europe and Japan. He was tanned and rested, his mind at peace, and he was ready to attack the gates below him.
Life was beautiful; he was just happy he was still around to enjoy it. His survival had been in question the past summer, when it looked like he might succumb to a mysterious disease destroying his liver before he could get a transplant.
Day after day he'd grown weaker, his marvelous conditioning fading as he waited for a call from University Hospital in Denver telling him that a donor liver had been located. That someone else had died so I could live. He'd taken courage in his father's belief that God would not have brought him through so much adversity in his life only to leave his side, abandoning Chris in his darkest hour. But when days became months, even faith could not conquer doubts that God had plans for him that did not involve a storybook ending.
Then came the day in July when his fate crossed that of a thirteen-year-old boy. A day when a bullet ended one life and saved another. For months after Chris got his new liver, he'd wrestled with that terrible irony, trying to find the words to express his gratitude to a family he didn't know for the gift.
That gift had allowed him to celebrate his 28th birthday in November, the birthday some family members had thought he would never see. That gift had set him back on course for the 2002 Winter Olympics, where, on this very Park City slope, he hoped to conquer his disappointment over a sixth-place finish at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Then he'd acknowledge the gift from the podium -- a gold medal around his neck and "The Star-Spangled Banner" playing in the background -- by championing the cause of organ-donor programs, much as two-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong had championed cancer awareness following his own life-and-death struggle.
Chris's mother believed that all the struggles he'd faced since birth had a purpose: to prepare him for the ordeal with his liver. Beneath the skintight gray and black racing suit he was wearing, his body bore a half-dozen testimonials to his father's nickname for him, the Bounce-Back Kid. Thin white scars that ran up his heels and on either side of his right knee. And one long scar -- half of a Mercedes symbol or a peace sign, depending on your perspective -- across his abdomen, still fresh and purple. A scar he jokingly referred to as "a shark bite."
The Park City race in 2000, which had taken place before he knew he was going to need a new liver, had been a disaster. He and other top racers had fallen, victims of a poorly prepared course. Now Chris gripped the sides of the starting gate, sliding his board back and forth, preparing to propel himself forward. He wanted this win. Nine runs, the first a time trial to get into the finals; then, if all went according to plan, eight head-to-head, side-by-side heats with his competition. It would be his way of saying that he was all the way back, the man to beat when they all met again here next year.
He wasn't about to take it easy now. That was not his style. His whole life had been lived on the edge. There was nothing left to fear.

From his 6'5″ frame hang nearly 34-inch long arms, creating a towering pass-rusher that has off-the-charts potential. When his size blends with his athleticism and explosiveness, he becomes a rare prospect that's arguably the most impressive in this May's draft.
But there needs to be more to a prospect than size and athleticism. Technique and tools are necessary, such as powerful hands and disciplined pad level. That's where questions start to arise with UCLA's Anthony Barr, who can be one of two different players on any given Saturday.
He can be dominating or dominated.
Barr, the dominating: The one who is wide in a two-point stance at the ghost five-technique and is the first off the line of scrimmage, running past slow-footed left tackles whose only hope is hooking the pass-rusher like a basketball power forward driving to the hoop.
Barr, the dominated: The one who is wide in a two-point stance at the ghost five-technique and is the first off the line of scrimmage but fails to run past the quick-footed left tackle who mirrors his every move and gives one solid punch to knock the pass-rusher off-balance, eliminating him from the play.
His flashes of potential have reeled in NFL scouts despite the majority of his tape being questionable. They're obsessed with the physical traits that can be measured, the same ones that Bill Walsh once called "artificial." The numbers pop off the page, and at times, they translate.
In the three cone drill at the NFL Scouting Combine, which measures change of direction ability, he timed in at 6.82 seconds, the lowest among the top five at his position on NFLdraftscout.com. It shows up when he's dropping into coverage or turning the edge, as seen on one of his two sacks against Oregon this past season.
He was at right outside linebacker in the Bruins' two-man front on third-and-11. With his left leg creased 90 degrees at the knee and his right leg staggered one-yard back, Barr was set to explode off the line and battle the Ducks' left tackle one-on-one.
He came forward with his back flat and then raised his shoulders up when the left tackle kick-slid outside. As Barr neared the blocker, he squared his hips inside as if he was bull-rushing before kicking his right leg back out. Simultaneously he lowered his head like he was finishing a marathon, extended his arms to push the blocker's hands away as he turned the corner.
The blocker tried to slow Barr down by running his hand across Barr's facemask, but refrained from holding in fear of getting penalized.
As Barr turned the corner, the quarterback hopped forward in the pocket. He couldn't avoid Barr, however. Barr stuck his right foot in the ground and leaned in, extending his 33.5″ arms for a strip-sack (00:40). This was him at his best, a dominating pass-rusher who looked like a top draft choice and eerily similar to St. Louis Rams' Robert Quinn.
Three weeks later, he had another sack on a similar rush against Washington but was otherwise not as effective. No quarterback hurries or forced fumbles. On one particular play, he was forced to engage at the snap, and he struggled.
It was second-and-10. Barr was once again an outside linebacker on the right edge, set to face the left tackle on an island. It was the ideal situation for him, seeing how he had a speed advantage.
But when he came off the line, he stood up unlike the rush against Oregon. Then he locked out his elbows and hit the blocker's chest plate. The punches barely moved the blocker, instead keeping separation between the two and allowing the blocker to sit back to fend off a potential speed rush — Barr's go-to move.
Barr stutter-stepped and tried to turn the corner on the blocker, who slid his feet and punched him wide. Without his speed, Barr wasn't a factor, looking like the San Diego Chargers' Larry English (2:30).
For all his potential, this is where the questions with Barr come in. He's clearly athletic and flexible enough to turn the corner, but can he do it when he's been redirected?
At the moment, he can't. He's not good enough with his hands or his balance, which he's unlikely to improve on in the pros. If he's going to make it in the pros, he'll have to get better with his hands and add an inside move, such as a spin that's perfectly done by Dwight Freeney.
Two weeks after the Washington game, he was exposed at times by Southern California in this same area despite logging three sacks.
It was the fourth quarter. USC faced second-and-6 inside their own 25-yard line, where Barr lined up as a right outside linebacker in the Bruins' 3-4 front. He was in a similar stance as before: left leg slightly flexed, right leg staggered and ready hands.
At the snap, he came hard off the line and directly upfield, going for the speed rush around the corner. The Trojans left tackle mirrored Barr's steps to the 20-yard line, where he stuck his arms out and punched Barr. The punch slowed Barr down, causing him to lose momentum and forcing him to stop in his tracks. He tried to spin back inside but didn't get any movement. The blocker widened his feet, forming a firm base and sat in his stance. And just like that, Barr was dominated (8:10).
Going into May, teams still have time to study Barr's game further. That may not mean much, though, because Barr's games are inconsistent throughout. He runs hot and cold.
When he's hot, his speed rush is dominant, and he occasionally flashes an inside spin move. It shows that he's conscious of the opening inside, even if not at all times.
When he's cold, his speed rush is neutralized, and he's barely effective. He's not a factor in the game, leaving the viewer wondering if he's worth a first-round selection.
What that means for predicting his NFL success is uncertain. He can be dominating or dominated, which is something the team that puts his name on their draft card will have to live with. After all, they won't know who they are getting until a few years into his career.

DNA Midsole
An innovative cushioning system that adapts to runners of all sizes and speeds, providing a custom ride.
Learn moreSegmented Crash Pad
Made up of fully-integrated shock absorbers to provide cushion and smooth heel-to-toe transition, maximizing the efficiency of every stride.
Learn moreWhat is it?
Brooks DNA is an innovative and uniquely adaptive cushioning system. By adapting to your specific weight, pace, gait and running surface, DNA offers customized cushioning and adds a spring to your step.
Traditional cushioning takes a one-size-fits-all approach, but we know that each runner is different. Brooks DNA was developed to continuously tailor the level of cushioning to your specific needs – even as they change during the run.
How does it work?
Brooks DNA is made up of a highly viscous non-Newtonian material or more simply put, a material that adapts to the specific force you apply to it. Part of the brilliance is that this compound was engineered to perform at the molecular level (picture millions of resilient 'nanosprings').
If you looked at Brooks DNA through a microscope, you'd see that it's made up of individual molecules connected in strands. These strands (which form chains) react to the amount of force placed on the foot, dispersing pressure and providing resiliency. Bottom line of this physics lesson: You get tailored cushioning that reacts to your specific weight, pace, gait, movement and running environment – "made-for-me" cushioning vs. "one size fits all."
And, as with all good technology, we've taken it a step further (two steps actually):
- BioMoGo DNA is DNA technology blended with the BioMoGo midsole to provide adaptive cushioning throughout the midsole vs. just in the heel and forefoot.
- BioMoGo DNA midsole includes an organic, non-toxic additive that biodegrades the midsole 50 times faster than traditional EVA when it comes into contact with anaerobic landfill microbes (otherwise known as active, enclosed landfills).
- 30% more cushioning than standard midsole materials (gel or EVA)
- Twice as much energy return for more pep in your step
- Great performance no matter your weight or running pace
- Smoother transition from heel to toe
What is it?
The Segmented Crash Pad customizes your foot's lay-down to provide amazing cushion and smooth heel-to-toe transition throughout the run.
How does it work?
We know that a key component of maximizing your run is to provide the smoothest possible heel-to-toe transition. The Segmented Crash Pad is one technology we use to achieve this goal.
Shaped like a caterpillar, the Segmented Crash Pad is a midsole made up of independent, yet fully integrated shock absorbers. As your foot strikes the ground, the segments work together to customize your individual lay down to provide the right amount of cushion and seamless heel-to-toe transition for you – making the most of all that effort you put into each stride.

I've been a devoted fan of the Andrenaline GTS 11th edition. I haven't been happy with the successors. The 12th, 13th and 14th edition did not work for me at all. They all felt like completely different shoes. What I loved about the 11 (lightweight, excellent arch support, hugged my foot perfectly, crash pad was firm and responded well) was not there in the 12, 13 and 14s. I was delighted to find that the 15s felt similar to the 11s. I did notice that the 15s ran a bit short. I wear a size 10 but needed to bump up a 1/2 size in the new 15s. (My big toe was touching the top and side of the size 10). Unfortunately with the 1/2 size bigger there's now a bit of excess shoe that buckles when I pull the laces tight around the toe area. It didn't seem to cause any problems during my run though. Overall, they feel and ride very much like the glorious 11th edition :-) I'm very happy. I'll buy a second pair for sure!

I have been an Adrenaline wearer since version 6 (^ & 11 being my favs). I have had some that I've not really liked but could get by with...not this one. Where to begin?
First, the upper is much tighter than recent versions. The volume dimension seems to be the most noticeable pinch: I can't imagine getting orthotics in these shoes. The cushioning felt great at first, but after 6 miles the sides of my feet hurt when I stopped...like, "couldn't run the next day" hurt. I thought maybe it was the surface (trail), so I tried them again on both pavement & track. Nope, still hurt my feet badly: the sides were extremely sore & felt like they were rubbed raw.
I've never had this experience with a Brooks shoe & I'm hoping my running store will take them back & exchange for a version 14 (which apparently I'm stocking up on for next year). I still love Brooks & this shoe may work great for others. But for me it is REALLY different from the past 4 versions & a terrible upgrade for me. If this is the direction the Adrenaline is going I may need to look for a new shoe. I'm really disappointed.

Comments about Adrenaline GTS 15:
I've been wearing the Adrenalines since the 5s! I have never had a shoe stay so consistent for so long. When I put on a new pair in my local running store, it feels like I'm running on clouds. Not so with the 15s. They were stiffer, and instead of transitioning through my step, my foot clunked on the ground. It felt like running on bricks. I'm now scouring online to find extra pairs of 14s to get me through to the 16s, and I hope the 16s aren't so stiff. I'm heartbroken! I would recommend them to a friend, but only to a friend who likes stiffer shoes.

Comments about Adrenaline GTS 15:
My bad knees were in heaven with my Adrenaline GTS 14s as I wore out two pairs and NEVER had any pain! I received a pair of Adrenaline GTS 15s as a holiday gift and was very excited to start running in them. Unfortunately, after one run I noticed I was feeling a bit of discomfort and pain. I ignored it at first, thinking it was just a bad run. I ran a few more times and yet I was still in pain! I even developed a few blisters on my big toe (which had never happened with previous Brooks). Needless to say, I was a little disappointed with my shoes as they were not the right fit for me. I put on my old pair of shoes to test out if it was in fact the shoes that were not supporting me, and it was! I instantly felt the difference in width and flexibility in the shoes. Time to stock up on some Adrenaline GTS 14s in my size.

Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador, assassinated while celebrating mass in 1980, has long been an icon for the Latin American left. Now, with reports that his cause for canonization has been unblocked , he may be on his way to be declared a martyr and saint of the Catholic Church.
I have no doubt that Archbishop Oscar Romero is in heaven. What priest would not like to go to God after a day of prayer and in the middle of Mass? However, it is obvious that his image has been oversimplified as well as manipulated politically. Proponents of the beatification seem too eager to ignore the complexity of the archbishop as man and churchman and the ideological and political-social whirlwind in which he lived.
If Romero is to be judged a martyr, then he has to have been killed because of his Christian faith. Yet, as John Allen has written, there has been some question as to whether his death meets the classic test for martyrdom of being killed in odium fidei , meaning in hatred of the faith, or whether the motives were more social and political. Was his death because of doctrine or was it reprisal for what may have been interpreted as political options which did not seem to rule out violence?
Romero was quite outspoken about social tensions, and it does his memory no service to sweep this under the rug. The language of class struggle echoed in his rhetoric. He used the word oligarchy frequently. He once said the rich will continue to be called those whom God despises, because they put more confidence in their money. On Sunday February 24, 1980, shortly before he died he spoke thus about the oligarchs with these words, Let them not keep killing those of us who are trying to achieve a more just sharing of the power and wealth of our country. The archbishop called those who opposed the oligarchs simply the people.
On more than one occasion, Archbishop Romero referred to what he called a very picturesque metaphor of the Brazilian Cardinal Lorscheider: You better take off the rings so that they dont cut off your fingers. I think this is a very understandable expression. Whoever does not take off the rings runs the risk of getting his hands cut off; and whoever doesnt want to share because of love and social justice runs the risk of appropriation by violence.
The rich-poor polarity spilled over into pastoral actions, too. The archbishop attempted to deny Christian burial to a newspaper publisher because of his extreme right-wing views and forbade a pastor to celebrate the funeral mass. The priest, with the code of canon law in hand, said he saw no scandal in the Christian burial of a professed Catholic, however inconvenient his political views. What makes you think the rich will go to heaven? asked the Archbishop bitterly.
In his discourse at Louvain on February 2, 1980, crafted with the help of Liberation Theologian Jon Sobrino, Archbishop Romero hinted that discussion might be needed about the relationship between the faith and political ideologies"in particular Marxism and the question of violence and its legitimacy. He said the Church had to go on making judgments about politics within a changing scene. While the outlook was ambiguous, all the projects emanating from the government are collapsing, and the possibility of popular liberation is growing. In the Louvain discourse, Archbishop Romero emphasized the role of the Church in politics. He said, The essence of the Church lies in its mission of service to the world, in its mission to save the world in its totality, and of saving it in history, here and now.
Who, then, killed Romero, and why? Earlier this year, Filip Mazurczak wrote that Archbishop Romero was shot during the celebration of Mass by the death squadrons of El Salvadors military government. This is a simplification on many counts. The junta that ruled at the time was mixed military and civilian. It was also extremely divided, with recent defections of some prominent non-military leaders. The man popularly associated with the assassination, Major Roberto DAubuisson, was not a member of that government, and supposedly at the time he was separated from the military.
One member of the junta later became president of El Salvador"the Catholic Napoleon Duarte, graduate of Notre Dame and friend of Fr. Theodore Hesburgh. No one accused Duarte of the assassination and he has always held that DAubuisson had ordered the death of the archbishop. He made the charge a centerpiece of his campaign against the Major in the elections of 1984. Nothing ever came of the judicial process to assign blame to DAubuisson, however, not during the Christian Democrats time in government, and not in the administration of the FMLN party which has held the executive office since 2009.
More investigation, more reflection, more study of history is in order to appreciate fully the dramatic tensions in life of the Church in Latin America refracted in the tragedy of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero. Reductionism does no justice to his memory. Doesnt the Church deserve more than a poster Romero?
Msgr. Richard Antall worked in El Salvador as a member of the Cleveland Latin American Mission Team from 1986 and 1993 and then again from 1998 to 2011. Besides serving as a parochial vicar and pastor of two parishes, he also served as a Vicar Forane, Episcopal Vicar of Promocion Humana, and as Moderator of the Curia under two archbishops.

345 Mr A. W. Fadden, Acting Prime Minister, to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister (in London)
Cablegram 123 10 March 1941,
War Cabinet has given close consideration to your cable M.13 [1] together with copy of telegrams which have been passing on the question of aid to Greece. [2]
The grave risk which is involved in the adventure is fully recognised.
The factors to be weighed are- 1. The effect of failure on our part to assist Greece on public opinion in Turkey, Yugo-Slavia, Greece and America against 2. The effect of a disastrous defeat and evacuation, assuming the latter proves possible, on opinion and action of Japan-in particular of Japan-and of the same countries above-mentioned.
We assume that full consideration has been given to the extremely hazardous nature of the operation in view of the disparity between opposing forces both in number and training. We cannot help but feel that the attitude of General Papagos [3] which at one stage of discussions was described as unaccommodating and defeatist may possibly reflect a substantial body of opinion in Greece and may indicate a lowering of the morale of the Greek Forces. We are informed by General Blamey, General Officer Commanding A.I.F., Middle East, that the British Forces immediately available consist of the 6th Australian Division, the 7th Australian Division, New Zealand Division, one armoured brigade and ancillary troops. The 7th Australian Division and the New Zealand Division have not been trained as complete divisions and there are practically no other troops in the Middle East not fully engaged. Copy of his cable was directed by the Minister for the Army [4] to be sent to you simultaneously with despatch to himself and we think it advisable that you draw the attention of the United Kingdom Government and its advisers to the observations made by him.
There can be no doubt that the landing of British troops in Greece will result in every effort being made by Germany with large available forces to inflict an overwhelming defeat particularly upon the British Forces engaged. The aid which the Empire can give is limited by the available troops in the Middle East and the flow of reinforcements which is able to be maintained.
The difficulties with respect to maintenance of supplies, munitions and equipment, are sufficiently obvious to you not to require recapitulation in this cable. The mining of the Suez we regard as most significant and as probably not unrelated to German plans in the Balkans. The ability of Germany substantially to impede the traffic via the Suez cannot we feel be over-estimated.
Notwithstanding these considerations War Cabinet is undivided in its view that if the military advisers, having properly evaluated the risks which must be run the large fully equipped and numerically superior German Forces which can be directed to these operations to the adequacy in numbers and equipment of the Greeks to deal with the first eruption of the German Forces advise the adventure that they should agree, in the high cause to which they will be dedicated, to make the troops required available for this adventure with the profound conviction that they will worthily uphold the glorious traditions of the A.I.F. fighting side by side with so gallant an ally. [5] The Australian Government steadfastly stands beside the United Kingdom Government in this high enterprise should it be now decided to embark upon the same.
The decision having once been taken we believe should be implemented with the greatest despatch and we stress the importance not only of pressing on the adventure with full forces available and with the greatest of resolution but the wise and full provision against the possibility of a forced evacuation.
We require however the assurance that the projected operations have a reasonable chance of success and in view of the great disparity of forces to which we have drawn attention and our feeling that this is a desperate venture, desire that you should inform yourself fully of the grounds upon which any such evaluation of the chance is based and in turn acquaint us with the same.
In view of the uncertain military bearing of General Papagos we place the greatest importance upon General Wilson [6] being available to assume command at the earliest possible moment.
Finally we strongly support your view with regard to the action of the Secretary of State for F.A. [7] entering into an agreement affecting Dominion troops without prior consultation. Whilst appreciating the difficult circumstances in which he was placed we feel nevertheless the repetition of such an action might well have far reaching and unfortunate imperial repercussions.

FREMONT, Calif. (AP) - An 11-month-old girl is hospitalized after authorities say she fell out of a third-story window at a Fremont home.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/RGFAZE ) the baby fell about 30 feet into bushes and shrubbery around 2 p.m. Wednesday. The bushes may have broken her fall.
Fremont Fire Capt. Steve Silva told the newspaper that after the incident, the child was airlifted to Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford.
Details of the girl's injuries have not been released, but Silva says she was admitted as a critical trauma patient.
Investigators have determined the fall was an accident.

By Rev. Dr. Howard Thurman, author, philosopher, theologian, educator and civil rights leader.
There must be always remaining in every life some place for the singing of angels, some place for that which in itself is breathlessly beautiful and—by an inherent prerogative, throwing all the rest of life into a new and creative relatedness—something that gathers up in itself all the freshets of experience from drab and commonplace areas of living and glows in one bright light of penetrating beauty and meaning, then passes. The commonplace is shot through with new glory, old burdens become lighter, deep and ancient wounds lose much of their old, old hurting. A crown is placed over our heads that for the rest of our lives we are trying to grow tall enough to wear. Despite all the crassness of life, despite all the hardness of life, despite all the hard discords of life, life is saved by the singing of angels.

As roughly more than one month has passed after the completion of marriage of Abhishek Bachan and Aishwarya Rai. This marriage has remained in lot of spot light due to being as marriage among two sensational stars. Other reason could be Amitab Bachan, an unchallenged super star of Indian Cinema, as it was his only son's marriage. Today every thing has calmed and people have slowly started forgetting this marriage. People have also accepted Aishwarya Rai as Aishwarya Bachan. However still there are few questions which are present in the common man talks.
From the beginning of the report of the Abhishek and Aishwarya marriage, people were doubtful about the future relations of the couple. Many people were of the view that this relation will not last long like the other filmy relations. All these things are giving birth to the debate of this question that will Aishwarya be a good bahu or not? To give the explanation to this question, we can analysis the positive and negative points of their relations. In this way, we can hope to predict their future relation and especially Aishwarya as bahu.
Starting with the positive points first, First thing in the support of this relation is that both look fabulous as couple and look as they are made for each other. Second Bachan family has good track record of strong relationships and in this family couple value each other. Third both Abhishek and Aishwarya are free to go with their film careers. Forth, there are million of people who support this marriage. Fifth, Aishwarya has got good Saas in the form of Jaya Bachan, who is very nice lady and Amitab Bachan, as sasur who is not only a good actor but a matured person too.
In between all these good points, there are also few things which can upset their relations. These negative points of their relation are as followings. First one is busy life of both stars, due to which they can find less time for each other and due to this, their relations can become weak over a period of time. Second one is Abhishek being two year and two month shorter in age than Aishwarya, this could be one of psychological reason which can make their relationship weak. Third one could be higher success of Aishwarya than Abhishek in films or world in future which could affect stability in their relations.
Above are few of the positive and negative issues which may or may not come in the life of Abhishek and Aishwarya in future but if they come then their relationship could be in trouble. If more positive things happened in future then this relationship will be a success and every one will accept Aishwarya as good bahu and if more of the negative things happened in their life then life as bahu will not be easy for the Aishwarya.

This short article is full of plain ungodliness but the following generated a question.
"One more shift includes a required unisex bathroom available for students."
Aren't the things you're supposed to be doing in the bathroom, private matters of bodily function? What argument could you possibly give for a THIRD option?

By J.A. Leo Lemay Journalist 1706 - 1730 The first volume traces young Franklin's life to his marriage in 1730. It traces the New England religious, political, and cultural contexts, exploring previously unknown influences on his philosophy and writing, and attributing new writings to him. After his move to Philadelphia, made famous in his Autobiography, Franklin became the Water American in London in 1725, where he was welcomed into that city's circle of freethinkers.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mary, a Colmar Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Colmar, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Colmar.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Colmar already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Colmar breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Colmar paves the way for another one to be saved.

I'm not sure what either Infra or Hardened would have to do with "default-linux" stuff, except that their input would be very valued as they would be experienced in these matters. I have no problem with having some sort of meeting. My primary reason for the profile is to keep all of the "cruft" from dev-lang/php out of the desktop profiles and to keep the gnome and kde stuff out of the server profile.

It is time to take control of funding decisions for juvenile delinquency services away from the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS). This topic should be put on the agendas for the DCS Oversight Committee and/or the Commission on the Improving the Status of Children, as a means of initiating legislative change. Enough is enough.
Since 2008, DCS has had control over approving funding for community services and residential placements juvenile delinquents. The concept theoretically made sense. HEA 1001 (2008) transferred money from each county to a statewide budget. Some agency had to oversee the huge budget and make sure there were appropriate checks and balances, and DCS was chosen.
The reality for those in the juvenile delinquency system has been costly in terms of time spent seeking approvals and frustration when approvals are denied for needy children.
There are currently five service consultants for the entire state. Probation officers have been given the duty to input voluminous data on each child and his/her family into a DCS computer system. Then, a DCS service consultant looks at the data and either accepts the proposed services or rejects the proposal with alternative recommendations — never seeing the child or the family and never personally answering to the court and parties in the courtroom for these decisions.
Too often, DCS puts obstacles in place that are not even tied to anything in the Indiana Code. For example, in the last year or so, a checklist is attached to a denial of services explaining that the court did not first try such things as putting the child in foster care or respite care. The option of respite care is not even in the juvenile code. DCS controls foster care placements. Very, very rarely will DCS place a juvenile delinquent in the limited foster care beds in the state, and, interestingly, these denial checklists are never accompanied by a foster care placement recommendation by the DCS service consultant.
When all of the parties and participants — the prosecuting attorney, probation officer, defense attorney and child, parents, and judge — have sought residential placement or other services because they are very familiar with the family and the needs of the child, it is repugnant to be denied funding by a random bureaucrat somewhere.
At meetings in the last year, court participants have advocated for the juvenile court judges to just override DCS — take back the control by the power of the bench. Anecdotally, some have. Others recognize the threat of expedited appeal (Indiana Appellate Rule 14.1) that was also part of HEA 1001 (2008). If DCS wins the expedited appeal, the individual counties must pay for the ordered services. But, the county funds to pay for such services were transferred to the State in 2008.
DCS has their hands full with their primary focus of caring for abused and neglected children and offering services to ensure safe permanency with their families. Let the juvenile courts and counties regain control over their delinquent children and the task of meeting their many, varied needs. It is time.

Food Freedom News
"They're making a joke of our universe" – Jim Morrison
What is happening to the sustainable ag community is that its own children are being genetically engineered by the new vaccines. They are called DNA-vaccines because their purpose is to alter – or engineer – the DNA. And they employ patented synthetic GMOs, just as in agriculture, to do this, and shoot these GMOs into children with gene guns, just as the biotech industry uses gene guns to shoot GMOs into seeds.
Not only are children being genetically engineered by the new vaccines but the rights needed to stop this are being just as thoroughly subverted as laws and regulations have been to protect food and trees and animals from Monsanto. In California, the giant biotech industry along with giant partners in the food industry lied to the public to defeat an initiative that would allow people a human right, the right to know what is in their foo. But the biotech industry, allied with the medical organizations it controls via heavy funding, also pushed through a law that removes from Californians the right to even know what has been done to their children with GMO-vaccines.
The sustainable ag community knows that a massive lying campaign was instrumental in stopping the GMO-labeling campaign. But how many are aware of the biotech industry's even larger campaign around vaccines? There, the government itself has taken a hand, and HHS has actually requested that media suppress information.
What is being done to farm animals in other countries goes further. They are being slaughtered in the millions based on fictions. For as aggressive and mendacious as industrial ag and the biotech industry are in telling the world that their genetically engineered crops and pesticides are not harming anything, they are even more militantly aggressive in projecting fear and inventing lies about nature. Avian flu is a fiction, a hoax but it was used (perhaps even invented) by the Bush administration with ties to the biotech industry to destroy millions of poultry (and their bio-diversity) owned by small farmers. The swine flu pandemic was another hoax, but it was the basis of wiping out rare swine breeds owned by small farmers in Haiti and the Coptics in Egypt. Foot and Mouth disease, harmless to humans and something most animals get over, has been used as the justification for the mass slaughter by military of millions of cattle and hogs,
with animals being buried alive.
The FMD mass slaughter first occurred in Britain, where, it turns out, it was triggered by lab leaks.
"And yet, in Britain, despite being a nation of animal lovers with an active animal rights movement, the war against foot-and-mouth disease has led to the death of more than four million animals, some of who, stunned or injured, 'survived hours, or even days, after a slaughter operation' (BBC 4 April 2001): without significant protest."
And now, as the multinational biotech and industrial ag fight for control of food worldwide, there are warning for the Middle East about FMD.
Avian flu, the hoax, is getting renewed international attention. It's now linked to terrorism. But the terrorists playing with the virus is the biotech industry itself. To see the origins and absurdity of this hoax, and coming from those who profited from fear of it, read WHO Swine Flu Pope Under Investigation.
The sustainable ag community needs to appreciate that the biotech industry and the medical agencies it funds – from the WHO to the CDC to various UN agencies – own disease. It is the industry's mass marketing tool and through its control of media, can create false fear which it can then use to wipe out every farm animal in the US. Vandana Shiva is very clear that one can't have sustainable ag without the animals. They are provide fertility, even separate from providing food.
In Colorado, lies around flu are being accepted by the sustainable ag community which has not protested that nurses and other medical workers have been threatened with loss of their jobs if they do not submit to a vaccine based on a series of hoax animal diseases.
While some other communities might see forced vaccination of nurses as separate from agriculture, the sustainable ag community, more than any other, should be able to see that what involves the animals cannot be separated from people, and that allowing lies about the danger of animal diseases to move forward is dangerous. It is, in fact, a set up for allowing animal disease scares to be used for the mass slaughter of animals here.
The slaughter of normal animals is crucially desired by the biotech industry as well as by the giant multinational meat packers. It is the necessary precondition for any wholesale introduction of genetically engineered animals, and it leads to the total consolidation of control of all meat by industry. Monsanto and the biotech industry had to get rid of normal seeds to move forward with GMO crops. To achieve this, they began by buying up seed companies around the world. People were slow to realize it was happening. Proceeding on the animal side is not as simple because farm animals are in the hands of millions of people but the requirement to eliminate normal animals is the same. In the service of this, they began by creating mass fear of non-threatening or even non-existent animal diseases as though such diseases were a threat to mankind's existence, as the false justification offor bringing military to conduct war on the animals. And the genetically engineered animals they have in the wings, are or will be touted as FMD-resistant or avian flu-resistant or swine flu-resistant, just as they had made dramatic (later proven false) claims for their seeds.
Should the biotech industry have the CDC declare an avian flu outbreak, under the new Monsanto-designed "food safety" law, military could be used to destroy all the chickens being raised in cities by loving owners. It would be irrelevant that the animals are healthy or that heritage animals are being protected. The goal is to get rid of normal animals and all competition (and it is growing) to the industrial agricultural system.
Rejecting the mandates for the flu vaccines is integral to getting ahead of the holocaust which the biotech industry (which makes these GMO-vaccines) is planning for farm animals and thus for sustainable ag. They got away with it in Asia. To get ahead of this, requires exposing the lies of the disease-mongers and how the game is played. It means seeing and exposing that the military and DHS have been written into the food safety law, specifically to mass slaughter farm animals "in case of a disease outbreak." Such an "outbreak" would be declared by the CDC which has already exposed its collusion with industry around bogus animal diseases, once in 1976 and again in 2009, both time to promote the sale of untested vaccines that proved lethal, and both times doing nothing to stop the deaths. The sustainable ag community
Vandana Shiva speaks of the "war against the earth," and war has become the metaphor that justifies what is being done to the animals and removal of rights.
"With the army involved and mass killing going on it is possible to lose sight of the fact that the 'war' is a metaphor, a cognitive way of structuring the complex domain of the disease and its economic consequences using the simpler domain of war. The virus has been constructed as the enemy, a 'formidable', 'powerful enemy' (Independent March 19), which 'attacks cattle, pigs, [and] sheep' (Telegraph Feb 22). However, those who are 'in the frontline of the battle' (Guardian Feb 25) do not have the virus in their sights. Instead, their targets are the very same cattle, pigs and sheep who are being 'attacked' by the virus. "The disease could, alternatively, have been dealt with non-metaphorically, i.e., as a disease, and treated by caring for sick animals (who recover after a few weeks), vaccinating susceptible animals, and letting natural immunity take its course."
For the sustainable ag to succeed, those involved must first see:
Ralph Waldo Emerson could be speaking to the biotech industry when he said "What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say."
The goals of those behind all this are far from the goals of sustainable ag.
to the knowing of what's taking place,
the loss of species,
the destruction of the natural world,
the unimaginable levels of social injustice and economic injustice
that deprive so many human beings of basic opportunities.
And as we open to the pain of that,
there's a possibility of embracing that pain
and that grief
in a way that it becomes a strength,
a power to respond.
There is the possibility that the energy that has been bound in the repression of it
can now flow through us and energize us,
make us clearer,
more alive,
more passionate,
determined people."
~ John Robbins

BIOGRAPHY: Caroline "Danske" Dandridge
She was born the third child of Henry and Caroline Bedinger in November,
1854 in Copenhagen, while her father served as this country's first
ambassador to Denmark. Her father died in November, 1858, just two weeks
after returning to Shepherdstown. VA. (today in easternmost West
Virginia). He had come down with pneumonia while speaking to a cheering
crowd before a bonfire in front of the Entler Hotel.
The family lived a while at "Bedford" with her father's sister,
Henrietta Bedinger Lee, and her husband, Edmund Jennings Lee, the first
cousin of Robert E. Lee. (Bedford was burned by Union troops in July,
1864). Danske's frail mother soon bought Poplar Grove and fifty acres
from the Morgan family.
During the battle of Antietam, Danske, her mother, brother, and sister
cared for wounded men in their house. Her sister, Mary Bedinger
Mitchell, would write a famous essay called "A Women's Recollections of
Antietam" which appears in Vol. II of "Battles and Leaders," a widely
used Civil War reference. Her step-brother, George Bedinger Rust was
killed at Gettysburg. Danske's mother opposed slavery and hired all
When her mother, too, died in 1869. Danske, her writing gifts astir,
went to live with her wealthy and prominent grandparents in Flushing,
NY. She had been attending Mrs. Pelham's Priory in Staunton, Virginia,
where she experienced a religious awakening.
She married Adam Stephen Dandridge in 1877, a handsome son of the
venerable Dandridge family that lived at "The Bower," in Jefferson
County. The Bower was the inspiration for an influential southern novel
called "Swallow Barn" by John Pendleton Kennedy. The Dandridge's Bower
also fed and entertained about 300 of J.E.B. Stuart's cavalry men for
almost a month in September-October, 1862.
After what she called "Ten Perfect Years" in which she gave birth to her
first two children, Serena and Stevie, Danske turned, at a friend's
urging, to write in earnest.
A difference in temperment between the intense, otherworldy Danske and
her genial, uncomplicated husband led them to pursue divergent
interests; she her poems , her garden, and a wide range of "postal
friends"; he, spending time playing Muggins (a game of dominoes) at the
A. S. Dandridge Farm Implements Shop. Danske, a poet of delicate
constitution, wrote of her struggle to make ends meet at their home,
(which she owned and had inherited), while her husband was relatively
unproductive. Danske would go away for stretches to sanitariums, paid
for by her wealthy family. Stephen would serve in the West Virginia
House of Delegates, spending in-session months in far away Charleston.
Danske published two volumes of poetry in the late 19th century: "Rose
Brake," (the new name she gave her home), and "Joy and Other Poems."
They were widely acclaimed. Had she lived in a large city closer to
publishers and reviewers, she would have probably had yet greater
reknown. Poet John Greenleaf Whittier included her poem, "The Struggle,"
in his anthology of great poetry covering a 400-year period.
She also wrote an estimated 200 gardening articles or letters to
magazines, such as "Garden and Forest." She created, with the help of
her African-American gardeners Tom and Charity Devonshire, a fabulous
garden with a hundred varieties of roses along with innumerable other
types of plant life.
She also wrote four books: "Historic Shepherdstown," "George Michael
Bedinger: Kentucky Pioneer", "American Prisoners of the Revolution," and
an unpublished manuscript about General St. Clair.
Her progression away from poems, to garden articles; and finally the
dryer, more dispassionate study of history, mirrors the timing of the
deaths of two of her children, 16-year-old Stevie and 12-year-old
Dorothea, or "Dotise." Their losses seem to chart her gradual withdrawal
from any writing that is emotionally intense and vulnerable.
Danske died June 3, 1914 with no will. Some of the town's waggier
tongues punished Danske for her aloof unconventionality calling her
"crazy", the price for eschewing her quota of church picnics. When a gun
went off in her house the day she died with only Danske and an Irish
nurse in the house, the same tongues called it a suicide. Helen
Goldsborough, a relative who lived across the street at "Leeland," wrote
that this is a claim Danske's family and persons who lived their entire
lives at Rose Brake have always denied. Danske's death, Miss
Goldsborough and other close family friends say, involved the
disgruntled nurse the ailing Danske had fired just days before. The
nurse had refused to leave.
Husband Stephen died about a decade later, leaving their artistic
daughter Serena, also called "Miss Violet," to live out her life at Rose
Brake. Her cousin, Nina Mitchell, daughter of Danske's sister, Mary,
came to live at Rose Brake around the time of World War I. She and Miss
Violet, who later asked to be called "Serena K." in memory of an aunt
she loved, became two of the most beloved and generous residents
Shepherdstown has ever had. Longtime residents have often said "Miss
Violet and Miss Nina" are the very essence, and something of a source,
of what is Shepherdstown, in style and outlook.
A friend said lovingly that almost everyone in this remarkable family
was very religious, goodhearted, and greatly talented in the arts. Yet
most also had a "slightly loose screw" to spice the memory of them. The
friend said that this "crack" in the family's members was like one the
Grecian goddess Diana decreed as "the place were the demons were shown
