Here's a look at things Sports Illustrated's Peter King had to say in today's edition of "Monday Morning Quarterback," along with the official GLS reaction to each notable excerpt.
How's that for a simple introduction?
We start things off, naturally, with the labor mess…
I doubt many owners will be shocked by anything they hear Tuesday. Some won't like how far the league is planning to go in giving players a percentage of the profits. But [Roger] Goodell will tell them it has to happen for there to be a deal. I think whatever the nuts and bolts of this CBA become, he has been working with these owners on the tenets of this deal for three years, and he may have some opposition … but I can't see nine teams' worth of it. For nine owners to rise up and say, Whoa, I'm not buying into this, is unlikely.
But how much would eight dissenters hurt cohesion among the owners? And wouldn't a deal with that much opposition have a shorter shelf life? While it isn't imperative that all 32 owners are on board, it would help drastically if they unanimously approved the framework for a new collective bargaining agreement.
The small-market teams could well be upset because — from what I'm hearing — not much will be done in the final deal to address the concerns of the bottom-revenue teams that have been trying to narrow the gap with the haves. This is a problem, frankly, I don't see getting fixed. Too many of the high-revenue teams think it's fine to share network TV and ticket money, but chafe at expanding revenue-sharing in a more global sense. It's a well-worn saw around the league that if Mike Brown wants his Bengals to be closer to the high-revenue teams, he should sell the naming rights to Paul Brown Stadium instead of keeping his dad's name on it. One league veteran told the revenue difference between rich and relative poor in the NFL "might be addressed, but is simply not going to get fixed in this deal."
And that's another way in which Los Angeles and Toronto will continue to gain momentum in their separate yet related quests to land NFL teams. Ralph Wilson sees the writing on the wall, which is why he'll likely vote against this deal, just as he did in 2006.
My educated guess, and maybe a little more than that, is Pittsburgh will be Tiki Barber's landing spot this summer when he tries to return to football after four seasons away.
The Steelers have a head coach the Barber family knows well — Mike Tomlin is close to twin Ronde Barber after coaching him in Tampa from 2001 to 2005 and also knows Tiki. Tomlin wouldn't be afraid of the sideshow Tiki Barber might create, nor would he be shy about pulling the plug if the 36-year-old back couldn't beat out the likes of Mewelde Moore.
I seriously can't see Barber beating out a guy like Moore and making the roster. I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again, but 36-year-old running backs just don't exist. Does Tiki really want to risk this? King notes that he didn't begin training until this February. What if he gets cut during training camp? This might not be worth the embarrassment.
I called a few Angelinos last week to measure the fervor for the NFL there. "Do people in L.A. really want a team?" said Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times. "That's really the question."
"When I hear, 'L.A. people don't care about the NFL,' I think it's ridiculous," [Al] Michaels said. "When I moved here in 1958, I saw two Rams games at the Coliseum that drew 100,000 [each]. This is an event town. There's something about being at a Lakers game that's almost like a badge of honor. And look, if you've got 15 million people in the region, you can find 75,000 to go to an NFL game eight times a year."
I'm not convinced L.A. is really an NFL town. USC and UCLA are big draws, but that doesn't mean it'll translate. That said, I'm tired of hearing that the city swung and missed with NFL teams twice. The Raiders were never L.A.'s team — Al Davis used Los Angeles as a pawn in his attempt to leverage more money from the city of Oakland. The Rams were mismanaged in their final years there, and they left town because the city wouldn't pay for a new stadium. Fan support was never a major issue.
Rumors (and they seem to be more than that) are flying that the Eagles are going to strike quickly and spend big money in free agency. Imagine pairing Asomugha with very good cover man Asante Samuel. It'd be money well-spent, even at a Bradyish $18 million a year.
Considering, though, that there's a solid chance a new collective bargaining agreement will allow available players with four years of experience to become unrestricted free agents, and that a significantly higher salary floor will force teams to spend, I wouldn't be surprised if this summer offers up the wildest free-agent frenzy in league history. And as a result, it wouldn't surprise me if Asomugha signed a dramatically inflated deal. (Especially if his agent pits the Cowboys and Eagles against one another.)
I have Pittsburgh linebackers 23, 28 and 31 (LaMarr Woodley, Lawrence Timmons, James Harrison, respectively).
This is in reference to King's top-100 list. I don't understand how anyone can watch the game of football and deem Lawrence Timmons to be a better player than James Harrison. I realize that Timmons might be a little more versatile, but Harrison is a game-changer. That blows me away.
I think Chad Pennington will be a natural doing games for FOX this fall. His announcement to the Charleston (W.Va.) Daily Mail surprised me, but it makes sense that he'll take the season off because of shoulder and knee rehab and not wanting to rush back. The big question is: Will Pennington be able to talk critically — if he needs to — of a team that he may hope to play for in 2012?
No, he won't. He'll likely suffer from Jon Gruden Syndrome and everyone will be a Hall-of-Famer. Big mistake, employing someone who has desires to re-join the league.
I think I continue to be mind-boggled at the fact that there will be such a lack of interest (unless a lot of people I speak with about it are lying) in the unemployed, inexpensive and supremely motivated Plaxico Burress when free agency opens. Just stupid. In the right offense he'll be the big target many teams lack, and, if healthy, he'll catch 60-plus balls and be a good deep threat. At worst? He's not going to cost much. What's the downside? Rams, Browns? Tell me. I'm dying to know.
My guess? Young teams like those don't want to risk causing a ripple in the dressing room. The Rams have a solid, young group of receivers. Will Burress' presence be the difference between a good season and a bad season? At best, he'll provide a not-ready-for-primetime team with an extra win. Not worth the potential disruption.

When you get an email from a tech company saying we will have a new and secret graphics card to send you on the 15th of September, you instantly become interested at the prospects. Especially with all the rumors floating around at the moment, it tends to make you lean towards it being the release of the highly anticipated R520 (now known as Radeon X1800) or Crossfire Multi VPU.
As most people already know, sadly for our excitement it wasn't the X1800 nor was it Crossfire, though it was another mid-range graphics card known as the Radeon X800GTO. It's the next level up from the X800GT which was only released a few weeks ago. ATI's latest graphics card is designed to compete against nVidia's GeForce 6800 standard which has been in the market for sometime now.
While a lot of people feel that it is a bit late to be releasing new cards into the current generation mid-range market, ATI must feel different though because there is also rumor of an X800GTO2 coming out as well. Soon ATI will release their next generation cards including the X1600 which will effectively replace the X800GTO in only a few weeks, which is worth keeping in mind.
Continue on as we take a close look at the GeCube Radeon X800GTO and we'll compare it against the X800GT at standard and overclocked clock speeds. We should also add that this card will be widely available very soon - we figure ATI are trying to follow nVidia's foot steps and have new cards ready at launch.

Planetary action on the iPad
Galcon Fusion is a space-based strategy game for the iPad.
Editors' take: Galcon Fusion ($7.99) is the HD iPad version of Galcon, a strategy game that challenges you to conquer planets in a small section of space, while another player or the computer AI tries to do the same.
Playing the standard game type, you start out with two inhabited planets: one for your fleet and one for your opponent's fleet, with several other unclaimed planets on the board. From there, you try to conquer other planets by touching and dragging from your populated planet to the planet you wish to attack. Win the game by conquering all your opponent's planets.
The core game mechanic of attacking and conquering planets is very simple, but with eight game types and 10 difficulty levels, Galcon Fusion offers a lot of variation and proves to be a very challenging strategy game. Playing any of the game types on some of the higher difficulty levels can be extremely challenging. Our only issue with this game is that it doesn't have a progressive single-player campaign to draw you through the various game types. But with so many game variations and skill levels, it's pretty easy to ignore.
Once you believe you've mastered the game, you can try your luck against other players online in multiplayer matches with up to 12 players. Online, you can see how many people are playing or search by game type if you want to take on human opponents in a specific setting. Be warned: the players online definitely know their stuff; we still have yet to win an online game. Though there are not a lot of games going at any given time, every time we signed on for multiplayer there were enough games going to get our multiplayer fix. Galcon Fusion also offers online chat with other players and everyone we came across was polite and helpful.
Overall, Galcon Fusion is a great example of an iPhone game that translates extremely well to the iPad. With HD graphics, easy-to-learn touch-screen controls, multiple game types, and multiplayer online matches, this game is great for any iPad owner who likes challenging strategy games.

The FAA announced Wednesday it will not install a new automated navigation system for flights outbound from Twin Cities International.
The system is called Area Navigation, RNAV for short. It allows controllers to keep planes on tighter flight paths so fewer homes are affected by aircraft noise, but there is a downside. While some homes will see and hear less traffic, other homes would see more.
Pat Hogan, spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, says some people liked the ideas while others did not. "There was a lot of support for the changes in places like Bloomington, Eagan, even Richfield, where they felt that on the whole, more people would benefit than would see increased over flies. But in some parts of Minneapolis and Edina there was a lot of opposition."
Scott Neal, City Manager in Edina, says the new noise would have been unfairly focused in some areas. "We think that would have meant more noise for a small number of people, but a considerable amount of new noise for a small number of people."
The MAC asked the FAA if the program could be modified to avoid use over more populated areas like Edina, but the FAA announced the program for outbound flights would be scrapped altogether.
According to Hogan, the FAA said the plan had to be all or nothing. "It's a safety concern, that if you handle departures from some runways one way, and departures from other runways a different way, it could be confusing," Hogan added.
Kevin Terrell helped organize opposition to the plan and says he was happy to hear the decision. "It was a great victory for residents. For citizens," Terell said.
The FAA says there are no plans to reconsider the decision, and no timeline to revisit the issue.

Our nation's governing classes aren't happy with the news media. At first glance, it's hard to believe they aren't satisfied with the coverage they receive. The major media with few exceptions (Wall Street Journal, Fox News) are populated with leftists who reveal their bias in their news reporting choices as well as in their opinion pieces. The recent discovery of the "journo-list" e-mails exposed a national press corps not only sycophantically supporting candidate Obama for the presidency but actually strategizing among themselves how to influence the election.
But those accustomed to favorable coverage have had their setbacks recently. Dogged reporters exposed the voting fraud and other illegal activities of ACORN, Barack Obama's former association. The multiple ethical lapses of Charlie Rangel couldn't be swept under the rug due to tenacious media coverage. Worse, the blatant lies used to sell Obamacare (we can all keep our coverage, it won't add "one dime" to the deficit, yadda, yadda) were laid bare by a watchdog press doing its job.
One response by government officials has been to threaten legal attacks on their critics. The Orwellian named Fairness Doctrine has been approvingly trotted out again by several highly placed congressional leaders. This is the former Federal Communications Commission rule requiring broadcast outlets to furnish free air time for opposing views whenever political opinions are aired. The effect, of course, would be to kneecap Rush, Sean and the other commentators on the right who seemingly are the only ones able to attract listeners to talk radio. The Obama administration seems more interested in influencing content by manipulating, according to "diversity" criteria, the ownership of broadcast licenses.
Lee Bollinger, president of Columbia University, recently took another tack in the pages of the Wall Street Journal. He proposed substantial federal subsidies for cash-strapped mainline news organizations. His argument is that healthy news media are critical to the functioning of a democratic society. The organizations that performed that function for so long are breaking down now and many daily newspapers are disappearing altogether. We would only be protecting our interests in supporting these necessary institutions. Furthermore, China's Xinhua news and Qatar's Al-Jazeera demonstrate, in his estimation, that government support can produce strong news organizations.
Well, why not, since banks, car companies, mortgage holders, states and pension funds have all been grateful recipients of federal bailouts? But Bollinger's ideas fail on at least two counts.
First, Americans aren't suffering from a lack of news about current events. On the contrary, the Internet Age has provided each of us with previously unimaginable access to information and analysis from a wide variety of perspectives. No longer can a few Walter Cronkites define the news and assure us "that's the way it is." The most humble blogger or independent investigator can break stories the mainstream media choose to ignore. There's nothing here for government to fix, just another industry struggling with technological change.
More importantly, there is a zero percent chance that government funding of news media would not eventually lead to government influencing the news. Somebody in government would have to decide who got the money. If that somebody was a human being, no matter how pure the intentions might be, that person would favor news outlets that treat government more favorably. Like members of the mainstream media today, they would sincerely believe that they were just promoting the more "enlightened" and "reasonable" elements in the industry. But there's a reason that PBS and NPR, with all their quality, are editorial poodles for their sponsors and, conversely, why think tanks committed to their own independence decline government funding.
Worldwide trends are working against freedom of speech. Even progressive nations like Canada and the Netherlands have speech codes that Americans would find oppressive. Our shared understanding is that airing the widest possible range of ideas is the surest path to finding the best way.
Thomas Jefferson once again said it best, "It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

Roll-call thread! I'm here!

Indeed, this list has tended to have periods of dormancy... like me, we probably all forgot about it until this recent resurrection.

Rather than let it die again, I say we throw out ideas for discussion. I think we should have regular posts commenting on performance improvements (or otherwise) of recent package updates, such as openrc or glibc, or anything anyone is interested in.

 Hi there!

 Well... is there anybody out there? According to

 half a year ago. Does this mean performance is already okay for everyone?
 Or does no one bother to post here, because the audience seems to be low,
 and uses the gentoo-user list instead?

 Just wondering,

Jacob grew up in Fort Bragg, attending Fort Bragg schools. He was one of a kind, so very caring for a person so young. He passed away 10 days after his grandpa and he told his grandma after grandpa's passing, "Don't worry grandma, I'll be here to take care of you." That was not to be.
Jacob loved to hang out with his friends and do poi, he loved putting on light shows and wanted to be a DJ. He loved music, drawing and writing lyrics. Jacob will be so dearly missed.
Jacob became an uncle last year to Hailey Emilia Cole and he couldn't have been a prouder uncle.
Jacob is survived by his siblings, James Murphy Jr. of Mendocino, Jessica Murphy (John, Nathan, and Katlyn Cole) of Eureka, and Jenna Murphy, also of Eureka. He is also survived by his mother, Pamela Murphy (Carl); his dad, James Murphy Sr. (Berlinda); beautiful new niece, Hailey Cole; grandmother, Betty Irwin; uncles, Steve "Swampy" Goleman (Debbie, Cory, Shane), Tim Murphy, Barry Murphy, Daniel Cook; cousins, Elizabeth and Megan Murphy, Matthew and Zachary Murphy, Alicia and Amber Cook; and numerous other relatives. He was predeceased by his grandparents, Harold and Augusta Murphy, and his grandfather, Fred Irwin.
Memorials are suggested to anything benefiting children. His family would like to thank all friends, family and everyone who have been so supportive.

One night to complete this model as I expected before. Here it is, 3 pages patterns for a nice miniature of ancient egyptian game, Senet.

The Slovenian Museum of Natural History in Ljubljana shelters on of the oldest historically and culturally exceptionally important collection - Zois mineral collection. It contains about 5000 specimens of minerals and rocks. The finest specimens are exhibited (only 306 specimens) and the rest are kept in depository. The collection is not important only because of its beauty and variety - after Sigmund Zois death it became the foundation stone of the Provincial Museum in Ljubljana (founded in 1821). The original arrangement of the collection is not known. Later Zois applied Werner's classification of minerals. This system includes some materials, which do not belong to minerals (some rocks as for instance basalt). Zois refers to minerals as fossils, though of course not in the present sense of the word. Specimens originate from different parts of central and western Europe, a lot of them came from Scandinavia, Transylvania and Italy and there are also specimens from non-European countries.
ZOIS MINERAL COLLECTION - PERMANENT EXHIBITION The minerals of Zois collection (the list of 306 exhibited minerals) are arranged by recent classification, because now it is the only exhibited mineral collection. It was renewed in 1988 (on the 100th anniversary of the recent museum building) by dr. Ernest Faninger, who wrote also a booklet Zoisova zbirka mineralov - Zoissche mineraliensammlung (trans.: Zois mineral collection). Beside of fourteen cases filled with minerals you can see five tables, which inform you about the history of the Museum, about Zois family and about Zois mineral collection. There is also the bronze burst of Sigmund Zois (made by academic sculptor Dora Novšak), that was erected in 1971 - on the occasion of celebrating the 150th anniversary of the first museum in Slovenia.
Sigmund Zois (1747-1819) was creator of Zois mineral collection. He was well-educated owner of wholesale iron busyness and the central personality of the Enlightenment in Slovenia. In the world he is much better known as a great natural scientist, primarily a mineralogist. He was good in mineralogy, chemistry, metallurgy and mining as well as in botany and zoology. Among his correspondents we can find such prominent names as Abraham Gottlob Werner, professor of mineralogy at the famous Mining College in Freiberg, Martin Heinrich Klaproth, professor of chemistry at the University of Berlin, Peter Jordan, a professor of natural sciences at the Medical faculty of the University of Vienna, and the mineralogist Friedrich Mohs, known for his introduction of the hardness scale into mineralogy. His contemporaries held him in great esteem, which is evident from the acknowledgements bestowed upon him by renowned institutions: Gesellschaft naturforschender Freunde zu Berlin (1782), Imperialis Leopoldino-Carolina Academia Naturae Curiosum, Erlangen (1793), Academie Celtique, Paris (1806), Jenaer herzoglich = mineralogische Sozietät (1807), Wetterau'sche Gesellschaft für Naturkunde zu Hanau (1808). In 1805 a new mineral was named zoisite in honour of Sigmund Zois. Zois was awarded a high state decoration; namely the Commander's Cross of Leopold's Order (1809). He took great pains for Carniolia to get its own provincial museum. Though Zois did not live long enough to see it, soon after his death his collection of minerals became a foundation stone of the Provincial Museum in Ljubljana (founded in 1821).
When in 1804 the mineral dealer, Simon Prešern, provided Zois with specimens from Saualpe Mountains in Carinthia, Zois recognised a new up till then unknown mineral. The letters from A. G. Werner and M. H. Klaproth confirmed this fact. In 1805 A. G. Werner, in accordance with M. H. Klaproth and D. L. G. Karsten, named this mineral after Sigmund Zois, zoisite. Nowadays, the type locality of zoisite is precisely determined: Prickler Halt on the western slope of the Saualpe Mountains in Carinthia. The area with a quarry abandoned a long time ago consists of eclogite being cut by zoisite bearing pegmatite dike. Zoisite is a common mineral in regional metamorphosed rocks, but mostly represented in fine-grained aggregates. Reddish varieties are called thulite. Bluish zoisite crystals, which were found in Tanzania, are called tanzanite and are valuable precious stones.

I know I need to dig my dahlias and glads for winter but I got them planted pretty late so they are still really green and are just losing the last of their blooms. We've had 2 or 3 light frosts but they don't seem to be browning any faster. How late should I wait to dig them up? |

A week or two after then have been blackened with frost before deep freeze will be fine. Mine were blackened two weeks ago, so I have been digging them up since last Sunday. Still have about 20 more to go. I plan to dig them all up this weekend. |

Losing the election seems to have really shaken the American conservative movement deeply and the most significant long term effect, that I perceive, is watching some important, born again, wooly-evangelicals slowly morphing into what, in Europe, would be classified as Christian-Democrats.
It might be that the descendents of people who voted for William Jennings Bryan, Huey Long and FDR may again be susceptible to the "populist" messages of Democrats bearing "gifts."
Surprising, perhaps, but eminently logical, because one of the most curious strange bedfellows effects of American politics has been the alliance between those who consider themselves followers of Jesus Christ and those who are demonstrably followers of Ayn Rand and who propose lowering the taxes for the super rich and cutting assistance to the needy, who they often refer to as "moochers."
The success of this alliance always depended on the infusing of the teachings of Jesus with racism, homophobia and the love of firearms. This is known as the "God, Guns and Gays" formula. Even a cursory reading of the teachings of Jesus would show us that this formula is more "tribal" than theological, to say the least. This is the center of the What's the Matter with Kansas conundrum.
Why Christians were ever interested in guns and pampering the rich passeth all understanding, however, the reasons for the Randistas to seek the company of Christians are not hard to figure out.
Since it is obvious that a political movement whose slogan was simply, "help the super rich to avoid paying taxes and to escape bothersome regulations that would cramp their style," besides not fitting on a bumper sticker, would not win enough votes to shape policy effectively, it was necessary to craft something with broader appeal.
This simple idea began to take shape when Richard Nixon hatched his Southern Strategy, a tactic whereby by championing the dog-whistle, "state's rights," the Republican Party ceased to be the party of Lincoln, the party that freed the slaves, which nobody in the South (who was allowed to vote), ever ever voted for, and became the party of choice of the all the racists, reactionaries, religious fanatics and assorted rednecks.
Ronald Reagan's "Reagan Democrats" strengthened the mix in the North with his talk of "welfare queens," thus weakening the unions and then this brew has come to its fullest fruition with Fox News and the Tea Party.
Of course, at the center of all the nuttiness of today's Republicans, in reality, is their bankrollers' fear of taxes and regulation. For them the ceaseless culture warfare is merely a tactic to simultaneously attract and confuse a sufficient number of the ignorant to enable the "one-percenters" to paralyze the political process and pack the Supreme Court in coming years with justices that would roll back all the progressive legislation going back to Roosevelt (I'm talking about Theodore Roosevelt here, not just FDR). It looks like in this post-Romney moment the arrangement may be unraveling.
Precisely to pack the Supreme Court, winning the presidential election of 2012 and getting Obama out of the White House, and getting a union buster in, was dear to the hearts of America's billionaires, they spent hundreds of millions of dollars to that effect and came up empty … Republican politicians, men and women who would like to get into office and stay in office, have taken note of a simple fact — the billionaires can't buy them power — that a majority of the American people want what Mitt Romney calls "gifts:" affordable health care and education… and are quite happy to see the rich pay for it.
Significantly, the religious right has also taken note.
The problem that the one-percenters have with the religious right is that on one hand for the Bible-thumpers, their ideology, "right to life" etc, is the center of their agenda: their ideological position trumps money. While, on the other hand, for the billionaires money is their ideology, nothing trumps money.
The two groups, evangelicals and one-percenters have different priorities, what Chairman Mao used to call different "primary and secondary contradictions."
I'll give you an example of what I mean, an excerpt from an op-ed that one of America's most important evangelical gurus wrote in the Washington Post, an article by Robert Jefress, which I don't think has received the attention it deserves.
They don't much more socially conservative than the Reverend Jefress, senior pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, a preacher with a daily radio program that is broadcast on 725 stations nationwide.
To give you an idea, of how conservative Jefress is, although he generously denies that President Barack Obama is the Antichrist, he affirms that, "the course he is choosing to lead our nation is paving the way for the future reign of the Antichrist."
So check out Reverend Jefress's "trip to Damascus:"
Evangelicals need to remember that we are a diminishing minority in America. If we care about winning elections with candidates who will push back against abortion and immorality, then we have to be willing to compromise on some secondary issues to form a winning coalition with other Republicans. Unfortunately, evangelicals tend to resist "compromise" because of our propensity to label every issue a "spiritual conviction." In the four weeks before Election Day, I spoke to thousands of pastors in cities across the country(…) In private conversations with some of these pastors, I discovered that for some, "standing for righteousness" meant more than pushing back against abortion and same-sex marriage. They saw opposing higher taxes, Obamacare and bans on assault weapons as equally important moral issues, even though such purely partisan positions have no biblical support. My message to fellow evangelical Christians is this: We must differentiate between biblical absolutes and political preferences. We must never compromise on the former, but we must be willing to bend on the latter if we want to see our moral agenda enacted. Breaking a pledge to Grover Norquist and embracing higher taxes for even higher cuts in expenditures is not tantamount to denouncing Christ. Acknowledging the need for governmental health-care reform does not necessarily pave the way for the rule of the Antichrist. I have a proposal for all Republicans. Instead of nominating a candidate who is mute or malleable on social issues but intransigent on political issues, let's try the reverse. Let's find a candidate who has a history of consistently and courageously embracing the social views of the majority of the Republican Party, as well as many Democrats and independent voters: that life in the womb should be protected and that marriage is for a man and a woman. But let's also nominate a candidate who realizes that compromise with the other party is necessary if we are to restore our country's fiscal integrity, protect our environment and provide the quality health care Americans deserve. Robert Jeffress – Washington Post
So, ironically, far from being a warm-up act for "the Beast", President Obama's victory seems to be healing a rift between Christians that opened when Martin Luther nailed his "95 Theses" to the church door in Wittenberg. Because what the evangelical Reverend Jefress is advocating could come straight from the Vatican or the pen of any Catholic bishop. Here is how conservative columnist and former chief speech writer for George W. Bush explains Catholic social teaching:
The Catholic Church — a politically and ethnically sprawling institution — has no natural home on the American ideological spectrum. Neither major party combines moral conservatism with a passion for social justice. So Catholic leaders have often challenged Democrats to be more pro-life and Republicans to be more concerned about immigrants and the poor. Michael Gerson – Washington Post
Without going too deeply into the many differences between the evangelicals insistence on charismatic conversion or being, "born again" and the Catholic church's rather plodding "salvation through works", we could cut to the chase by saying that most Catholic social thought has its roots in following words from the Book of Matthew:
'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least among you, you did not do for me.' Matthew 25:41-45
Such a text is one of the earliest expressions in Christian terms of the thirst for social justice. As such it helps give that thirst shape and a common, deeply rooted, electrifying language.
Imagine how that text would sit with Ayn Rand or the Koch Brothers, in fact, can you imagine it being spoken at a Tea Party event? It would be amusing to watch Willard Mitt Romney flippityflop when confronted with it.
Who is a "stranger" to be invited in? Who is a "prisoner" to be looked after? Who are the needy and the sick to be taken care of?
If you stop and think that the African-American and the Latino communities are often both over represented in the prison system and in need of "gifts" such as good health coverage, immigration reform (strangers to be "invited in") and good public education and at the same time these communities are often devoutly Christian and socially conservative (read "homophobic" etc), this split on the right could soon cause tensions on the left as different members of the liberal consensus (read single women and gays) assess their "primary and secondary contradictions".
If the white evangelicals, in order to achieve Christian unity, renounce racism and nativism and include blacks and Hispanics in a return to the populism of their ancestors, American politics could become a lot more class-based and a lot more interesting.

I visit this forum often when I have a question about my little flock of chickens but have never had to post. A search always brings up a helpful thread. Thanks everyone!
I can't find an answer to my rabbit question though. I would be grateful if anyone can help. Today I placed my pedigreed New Zealand in her "mates" cage for breeding while I was working in the garden. When I went back to the hutch an hour later I found that one of the panels I have dividing a long hutch into individual compartments had failed, and a Dwarf Hotot buck was in the cage with her as well. If a litter results, their lineage will be questionable and they will have to be pets only, but I am curious as to what kind of litter to expect. If she was mated first by the New Zealand and later by the Hotot, could some of her kits belong to each potential father? Thank you, Alana |

Nearly all mammals that have multiple offspring per pregnancy are capable of having multiple fathers per litter. Some mammals actually produce castes of sperm that serve no function in impregnating a female but instead interfere with sperm from competing males. |
Having 2 uteri they can have litters at different times also, this happens sometimes when test mating after 7 days or so. thats why palpating is the better way to determine pregnacies. |

Thank you both! I knew this was possible in dogs and cats. I never had occasion to think about it in terms of rabbits before but it makes sense. |

I was quoted in The Denver Post newspaper as a senior's real estate specialist in an article discussing various areas of concern for seniors who are anticipating moving in the near future.
The Denver area Seniors Delay Home Sales article (part 1 and part 2) mentioned that difficulties related to:
* declining values due to foreclosures and excessive supply of homes in the Denver area has resulted in many seniors not having enough equity to afford the entrance fee for retirement communities.
* some seniors have been able to sell to first time buyers who are able to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit. (the extended program expires April 30th of this year for buyers who need to be under contract by then and close no later than June 30th.)
* Seniors are finding the buyers of their properties have run into problems obtaining financing and therefore their sale may fall apart.
* In 2009 five assisted-living communities in Denver were put on hold due to the slow economy and anticipated slow sales.
* Seniors now living in homes with values in excess of $400,000 have found the buyer market for their homes to be particularly soft.
* Frequently seniors have unrealistic expectations about the value of their current homes.
* Not realizing they need to up-date their homes that they have lived in for the past 30 to 50 years will stop their ability to successfully sell their homes. Buyers today are exceptionally demanding with regard to the overall maintenance and condition of their next home.
* Seniors need to be very realistic on how up-dated their home are if they serious about selling to any buyer in today's difficult home market.

"People are thinking about London this summer with the queen's 60th anniversary and the Olympics," says Kathleen Lynch, curator of Open City: London, 1500–1700. "We wanted to give them a glimpse of London in the summer of 1608, let's say, or the summer of 1666." During the two centuries covered by the exhibition, she says, the city went through "incredible growth and change," transforming from a small medieval capital to a sprawling, early modern metropolis. "But that's not really the focus; that's the context."
For Lynch, who is Executive Director of the Folger Institute, the "focus," and the fascination, is how individual Londoners experienced the big events of their day. For example, Henry VIII's dissolution of monasteries and other religious properties triggered "huge real estate changes, urban growth and renewal," she says. But on a very local level, exhibition visitors can see the impact more concretely in an otherwise routine lease of three tenements and a wharf by St. Margaret's Parish. In looking at the lease, "what struck me was the date, 1537," Lynch says—and the note on the back: "These three leases are in question to be new made according to the words of the corporation of King Henry the VIII." Essentially, she says, the note is asking, "Do you think the new law will have an effect here? Can we still lease this? Do we still own it?"
Such glimpses of London's history on a local scale are made possible, Lynch says, by the vast Folger collection, which supplied almost all of the rare manuscripts, books, prints, and other works on display, some of them never before displayed. Exhibition consultant Betsy Walsh, Head of Reader Services at the Folger, agrees. "We could only have done this for London" as an individual city, she says. "The depth of the collection made this uniquely possible." Walsh also points out the personal quality of manuscript journals and eyewitness accounts by travelers and Londoners alike—including a day-by-day account of the Great Fire, recast into verse, by 17-year-old Samuel Wiseman.
The collection is especially rich in records of the rapidly evolving Blackfriars district, a former Dominican monastery along the Thames that was soon put to new uses. "There are hundreds of documents," Lynch says. "Account books, memoranda, and more." Visitors may already know of the Blackfriars Theater owned by the Burbages, who were also shareholders in the Globe Theater, "but there was a lot more going on. People were renting townhouses there. Shakespeare bought a Blackfriars townhouse as an investment—we have the deed in the exhibition. The Office of the Revels stored materials in a Blackfriars warehouse. Schoolboys performed in a choir."
Setting such local records in context are a wealth of maps, panoramas, and other images of the city from the Folger collection, including one of Lynch's favorite pieces in the exhibition: the "Long View" of London by the engraver Wenceslaus Hollar. "It's spectacular," says Lynch, "an amazingly large, long series of six engraved panels. This is the first view of London that's elaborated with gestures toward grandeur: cherubs in the sky, monumental figures at the sides, including a goddess of the earth and a god of the sea, a Latin dedicatory poem—all quite new" for an image of the city. "Another exciting thing is that he drew sketches from the tower of a church in Southwark [Southwark Cathedral] that is still there."
Not surprisingly, the library's collection also includes many plays of the period, offering yet another perspective on the city. "So many of the plays are a commentary on the life of London," Lynch says. "Plays are not independent or unrelated to daily life; theater is part of the marketplace, a commercial story. And the plays comment on new developments, new ideas, and new products, too." Among the plays in the exhibition, Ben Jonson's Bartholomew Fair (1614) depicts the uproarious annual fair at the city's outskirts, she notes, while Thomas Middleton's A Chaste Maid in Cheapside (1630) offers a glimpse of London's Cheapside community—as does a hand-drawn, contemporaneous image of the Cheapside market.
"It's all interwoven," Lynch says of these and other glimpses of London's past. "All connected. It's getting us to think about place, what difference a place makes, how people at a local level engaged with major historical events—and the consequences of things having happened in a particular time and place."
