I might be a little tired this afternoon
I hung around the newsroom last night helping with election coverage, and I know that many of you are SHOCKED! Yes, I am a political junkie and enjoyed every minute. After I got home, I started watching TV since the races in California and the West Coast were just getting decided, fell asleep in the recliner and woke up in a daze. So if I'm a little slow or lethargic Wednesday afternoon, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Welcome new and returning CDE parents! We hope everyone is having a great summer! The teachers and executive board members are excited for a successful and fun year ahead.
The CDE 2011-2012 school year begins on Tuesday, September 6th for the 3AM class and the multi-age PM class and Wednesday, September 7th for the 4's classes. The 3AM class will have a 1 ½ hr orientation on their first day, beginning at 9:00 and the multi-age pm class will also have a 1 ½ hr orientation on their first day, beginning at 12:30. Parents are invited to stay for their child's orientation.
Due to mandatory state regulations, your child must come to school each day with a backpack that contains two full changes of clothing (i.e., two pairs of socks, two shirts, two pants, two pairs of underwear). These backpacks must be brought home each day. Again, this is required by state mandate concerning emergency evacuation procedures.
Also this year we are starting a new snack procedure. Parents are required to supply a nutritious snack and beverage for their child for each scheduled class the child attends. An ice pack must accompany any food or beverage that requires refrigeration. The child's name needs to be on their snack bag and put in cubbies each day upon arrival, and brought home at the end of the class.
Please make sure you have your child's medical form completed. Also, September's tuition will be due. You may drop it off at our first parent meeting or the first day of school.
The first parent meeting will be held at CDE on Tuesday, August 30th, at 7:00 PM. This is an important meeting when parents get the opportunity to talk with the teachers, look at the classroom and find out about the CDE School experience. We encourage one parent from each family to attend. Please be advised that the classroom will not be available to children during this meeting. We will be distributing and reviewing the school's by-laws, budget and school calendar. Fundraising and parent responsibilities, including committee assignments, will also be discussed.
We look forward to seeing you on August 30th 2011 to begin a great school year! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact a board member or teacher. Enjoy the rest of the summer!

With respect to our beautiful neighbor to the west, the heaven to which I refer to is the ultimate baseball cathedral, Fenway Park. As I wrote in this column several weeks ago, I looked forward to our pilgrimage with great anticipation. Celebrating its 100th season, Fenway escaped the wrecking ball and has emerged not only as an historic shrine, but as the most beautiful ballpark I have ever seen. Our trip was meant as a one-shot deal – to be a part of a centennial celebration. After our recent weekend experience, it will be hard to keep these baseball fanatics away. If you care anything about baseball and history, this is the trip that you have to make.
For Richmonders, Boston is an easy trip. One of the lowest priced destinations out of RIC, direct service whisks you to Beantown literally before breakfast, where by the way, I would recommend the Paramount. This Charles Street establishment, just off the Boston Common, serves up one feast for the senses. A complete breakfast is available for six dollars, and judging from the crowd, the restaurant is no secret. Once in Boston, you are treated to as much history as you care to bite off. The Freedom Trail is a great walk, and allows you to explore many highlights of our nation's birth in a leisurely day.
But our trip was about baseball, as we followed our beloved Nationals into a second round of interleague play. The Nats had a terrific weekend, sweeping the home team. Pitching and timely hitting led the way as Washington solidified its position atop the NL East. For the several hundred Nats' fans in the park, each successive game of the three-game set got just a bit better.
It turned out though, that the show on the field was secondary to the rest of our experience. From the walk to the ballpark, to the historical surroundings, to the friendly atmosphere, to the concessionaires, Fenway provides the complete experience.
In walking to the game, you simply follow the crowd. You get the feeling that on game day, all roads lead to Fenway. After taking multiple routes, we have decided that the best route to the park takes you past Northeastern University, through the picturesque Back Bay Fens, and on to Jersey Street that becomes Yawkey Way. Yawkey Way runs parallel to the park, and becomes a street carnival on game days. This 20-minute walk allows you to experience so much what Boston has to offer.
Once in the park, you feel the history; Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice and Luis Tiant are all there. They are joined by a sellout crowd that now numbers nearly 800 straight games. The fans arrive early and are greeted by an army of ushers. These ambassadors encourage you to explore the park. You are encouraged to take pictures from every angle, and more than one usher will volunteer to snap the shot so as to include all members of your party.
We were a bit concerned about wearing our Nationals t-shirts and caps into the ball park. No need to worry as long as you are not a Yankee fan. The fans were so respectful toward us. They were complimentary of our team and expressed amazement at the young phenoms, Harper and Strasburg. They didn't like being swept, but they had no problem with us rooting for our team. The overwhelming feeling I came away with was that I wanted to return for a series that would allow me to root for their Red Soxs.
Our good friend, Henry Martin goes to games with us on occasion. He is a lover of ball game food and would not be disappointed in Fenway. The prices are reasonable and even the concessions bear a sense of history; beer, soda, peanuts, hotdogs and Italian sausages generally make-up the menu. No sushi here.
It is unusual when you look upon something with great anticipation and it turns out better than you ever imagined. For me, Fenway Park was a trip to baseball heaven. You owe yourself this trip.

Team Osaka is favored to win the humanoid league soccer championships again this year--they walked away with the Louis Vuitton Humanoid Cup in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Team Osaka's secret weapon is Tomotaka Takahashi, one of the world's leading designers of humanoid robots. His pioneering work may make possible a dream that stands out as strange even in the strange world of humanoid robotics. A female league.
I first met Tomotaka Takahashi in Kyoto a few months ago. He had just launched what he describes as the first "female-type" robot. "Most robots are strong hero-types," he told me. "Very bulky and menacing. Good for fighting but you don't want to live with them." Robots, he believes, are the victims of gender stereotyping: people are used to seeing fire-breathing robots bent on destruction. A robot with a feminine form challenges this image and paves the way for a more intimate and peaceful future in which robots will serve as domestic helpers, receptionists, and translators between humans and machines. But first he had figure out how to hide the wires. "It is difficult to conceal all mechanics inside slender form while maintaining proper balance--most particularly on smaller feet."
The FT's movement is definitely female-ish. It walks with straight arms swinging, knees lifting high, and a distinctive swing in its back panel. The key to the FT's movement, Tomotaka explains, is that it is designed along an "X" shaped axis pivoting at the waist, rather than an "H" shaped axis, which produces the standard robot stagger. To perfect this distinctive strut, Tomotaka observed the way fashion models move on the catwalk. The result is a robot that clearly achieves a feminine aesthetic without relating to the typical visual cliché's of dress, long hair, or purse.
But there is something slightly off about the FT. Despite the curvaceous form, despite the walk and wiggle, there remains a masculine undercurrent that only adds to the uncanny effect.
The FT was Tomotaka's pet project, and he designed and built nearly every aspect himself by hand in his small workshop located in his parent's home in the imperial city of Kyoto. It was summer, he says, and so he sat in his underwear bolting together pieces of arms, legs, and torsos, while sweating in the heat.
But the real question is: Can she play soccer?

Hi! Today I'm going to present you a little gem that I have extracted after solving the same problem over and over again in Rails. But it can also be used in any Ruby application.
The gem is called app_configuration. I have created this gem because in several Rails application I had the problem of configuring third party services and I could not set sensitive information in the environment files. If you are doing this you shouldn't. The mayor issue with setting sensitive information in the environment files is that (unless you don't use any kind of VCS) you are versioning it.
For example if I a need to implement Facebook connect, what I would normally do is create a Facebook app with my personal account only for development. Then in my development.rb
I would do something like this:
1 2 3 4 |
and then if I have to access the Facebook credentials I would do something like this:
1 2 |
I use environmental variables instead of loading credentials from a file because most of the time I use Heroku for staging or production environments and the fastest way to config this kind of thing in Heroku is with environmental variables.
The hazard of this approach is that I have to remember to export the environmental variables each time I run the rails server. I could export all the variables in my .bashrc
but I don't
like that because I could have name collisions. For example if I have application A that uses Facebook connect and I have application B that also uses Facebook connect I would have to do
something like:
1 2 3 4 |
The other problem of this approach is that the configuraiton is not self-contained per project. So what I would end up doing is to create .env
file in the root of the project and add this file to the .gitignore
. The .env
file would have all the corresponding exports. Now if you want to run the rails server you need to source the .env
file like this:
You could add an alias to reduce typing in your .bashrc
or you could use the foreman gem that automatically reads all the variables defined in this file.
Sometimes we use Heroku for stagging and Amazon EC2 for production. Generally when we use Amazon to deploy our application we use Chef to setup the VMs. In this cases I prefered to generate a config file using Chef templates and reading sensitive data from encrypted data bags.
So this is why I ended up creating app_configuration. Before creating the gem I did some research in RubyGems and found at least 15 configuration gems but neither of them do what I really want.
What I wanted is the flexibilty to have a local self-contained configuration file and the posibillity to export the configuration with environmental variables. All the app_configuration features are deeply explained in the project's documentation but here I will do a quick review.
The previous Facebook connect example could be refactored using app_configuration like this.
Instead of defining your configuration in each of the enviroment files you will define it
in the application.rb
then if you want to read the Facebook API key and secret you can do it like this
1 2 |
This assumes that there is a .facebook.yml
file in the current working directory with the following content:
1 2 |
Environmental variables have more precedence than configuration files. So if FACEBOOK_API_KEY
is exported, app_configuration will use that value. Note that the attribute name is prefixed with the name of the configuration (in this case FACEBOOK_
). This is done to avoid name collisions. Also remember to add you configuration files to the .gitignore
So well that is pretty much it. Hope you like it and are willing to give it try. Pull requests are welcome. You can fork app_configuration on Github.

If Iron Man's smash $98.6 million debut this past weekend is any indication, 2008 is about to get really good for Robert Downey Jr. While well-liked by critics and film buffs, and an Oscar nominee for playing the title role in 1992's Chaplin, Downey had never experienced a substantive commercial hit (a supporting role in 1986's Back to School doesn't really count), in part due to his well-documented struggles with addiction.
Following the success of Iron Man, however, this year promises to be a watershed. Downey's performance as a Method actor playing an African-American solider in Ben Stiller's August action-comedy Tropic Thunder already has the Internet atwitter. This fall, he'll star alongside Jamie Foxx in The Soloist, a drama directed by Atonement's Joe Wright, based on a true story about a Los Angeles Times columnist (Downey) who discovers a homeless violin prodigy (Foxx) living on Skid Row. Oh, and he also landed a coveted spot in one of the film parodies for the MTV Movie Awards.
EW.com spoke with Downey on his drive home following an appearance on The Tonight Show, finding out how he's handling all the success, what he hopes for Iron Man 2, and any other plans he might have beyond heading back to his house to see his son.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How are you doing today? You've had a pretty great weekend, I would think.
ROBERT DOWNEY JR.: I'm verrrrry well. It's been absolutely nutty.
When did you first realize that this whole endeavor was going to significantly alter your fame scale?
For me, there were so many different bases to run. The screen test and all that, and then [director] Jon Favreau calling me to tell me I got the job it wasn't even the beginning, although I'll never forget that day. And then by the time we were rehearsing and working with the writers and playing around, I kinda had a sense that maybe we were on to something just a little bit different. And then by the time we were up in Lone Pines, shooting his escape and landing in the sand dunes, I thought, Wow, this is actually looking kinda epic and cool.... But then Comic-Con really felt like we were halfway to something that might work. And then Jon and I were doing our world [promotional] tour, and really saw an audience that was just folks. You know, when we brought it to the military base in Korea, and we saw people showing up and really digging it, I thought, Wow, we got to really start pushing hard. Then we did Europe, and then the U.K., and then New York.
But all the way throughout the world tour, Jon and I would find ourselves waking up on these super-long intercontinental flights, and we just started brainstorming about, you know, if this goes well, where might we take it? And what worked in this one, and what does the audience want to see, and how do we continue this guy's journey? What is it about him, and what is it about the way Jon directed this movie and the way we created the character that people were so overwhelmingly excited about? So we had a lot of heart-to-hearts. I don't know if he used the penguin metaphor yet, but we kind of felt it was March of the Penguins, and we were just trying to keep the egg warm until we got it home, to see if was going to make it through the cold winter of a three-day weekend or a three-and-a-half day weekend, as it turned out. So, I don't know, dude. It's this trippy thing where we're going into another lap [of publicity] on shows that maybe weren't so sure they were going to have us a minute ago. Now, all of a sudden, we're geniuses. [Laughs]

Share and share alike, until overlords like Mark Zuckerberg make it illegal
Recently, a friend on Facebook was told he'd been "sharing too much." So much, that Facebook is denying him sharing privileges for 60 days, to teach him a lesson. For the next 60 days, I have to find my own pictures of cats being smart and sassy. I have to go see for myself what makes people post videos of former "Star Trek" actor George Takei saying "Oh My!"
This isn't the first or the last time anyone has been prohibited from sharing.
Let's consider the history of prohibitions against people helping each other and try to understand the mentality of overlords that results in this form of oppression.
Community sharing itself has an ancient, prehistoric, um, history. Before there was history, namely before people could read and write, people didn't have banks and laws and governments. They just did things for each other all the time.
Admittedly, some of this got out of hand. There was endless wife swapping, I've heard. There was the "Have a baby, leave a baby — need a baby, take a baby" tray. People would take turns chewing the same piece of bark. Extreme sharing practices evolved that led to whole families destroying themselves trying to out-share their neighbors.
But mostly sharing worked and even led to small primitive anarcho-democratic societies. Then along came some jackass like Hammurabi the Amorite, or Philip II of Macedonia or Mark Zuckerberg of White Plains, and all of a sudden primitive anarcho-democracy is seen as a threat to the New World Order.
Think about it.
A single Iroquois longhouse might have housed 20 loosely related families, sharing space and chores. They liked it; it worked for them. So why don't the Iroquois live like that today? The immediate answer: It isn't allowed. It violates the White Man's housing code.
But why is the housing code there? What's the White Man's problem with the longhouse?
Last week San Francisco city officials were considering whether to allow people to live in apartments as small as 220 square feet. Reading about it made me laugh and cry at the same time.
I lived in an 85-square-foot room in the U-District for three years. It seriously violated the housing code in this city. Not only was it too small in terms of area, the ceiling dipped as low as four feet on one side of the room.
The room only had two-and-a-half dimensions, instead of the usual three. It had only one-third of a window. How could I live in a space like that?
By sharing.
Besides the room I slept in and where I stored my belongings and watched tv, there was also a kitchen, a porch and a shared bathroom I could use, so long as I didn't mind sharing it all with the rest of the residents. For the low rent I was paying, I chose not to mind.
I don't know how I got away with living in a space so clearly illegal for so long, but I know that you can hardly get away with it any more. That building was torn down by the Man in 1993. Most of that sort of housing is now prehistory in Seattle. You aren't allowed to live so poorly.
What advantage does it give our overlords to deny us the right to share living spaces and living facilities to cut costs? How do our masters benefit by preventing the rest of us from relying on each other to take care of our needs when we are too poor to afford middle-class housing?
For that matter, how does it benefit the majority sexual orientation to deny same-sex couples the right to share their lives, one with another?
It's a trick question. The answer: It's not done for any visible benefit. It's done out of fear and stupidity, and the mere urge to control, even when maintaining control is against the oppressors' own best interests.

Barney Frank revels in the opportunity to speak directly to people who have no response but to smirk at him (Ryan) or to ask for another several decades of pot research before making up their minds whether it's a gateway drug (Will).
Luckily for the two libertarian conservatives ("regulation for thee but not for me") they get rescued from Barney Frank's incisive questioning by not-long-for-this-programme Christiane Amanpour, for whom Paul Ryan seems extraordinarily grateful as the clip ends. Any anchor interested in promoting debate would back up Barney Frank by saying, "Yeah, what about that, Paul Ryan?" but she's learned from her Sundays-in-DC stint that power brokers giving off that please-change-the-subject stink must not be thwarted.
Conservative Fannie/Freddie revisionists and anti-gay bomb-throwing trolls be damned. I'm gonna miss Barney Frank skewering these pompous blowhards, whether on the Sunday shows or the House floor. Here's an oldie but goodie just in case you've never had the opportunity to see Congressman Frank in the Speaker's chair when Patrick McHenry had the misfortune to take the floor.
We shall not, I fear, see or hear his equal preside over the House again.

5th July, 1928
My dear P.M.,
I went to the big yearly set-piece Air Force Display last Saturday. It is without doubt the finest show that any country in the world could stage. I have seen similar shows in the United States and they are very small beer, and the French efforts are, I am told, lacking in anything approaching the degree of air- discipline and combined training that makes the R.A.F. Display so outstanding. It is Guards' drill in the air on the grand scale.
But it contains very considerable elements of danger, and Trenchard [1] and his people are always exceedingly glad when it is safely over.
Princess Ingrid [2] has gone back to Sweden and it looks as if all hopes were dashed to the ground.
The Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister seems to be an unhappy position. Vansittart's [3] son was killed in a lift accident in his house a few months ago. His wife died in her sleep two days ago. And now Sir Ronald Waterhouse [4] (late Private Secretary) is named as co-respondent in a cause celebre. This last episode threw its shadow before and is the reason he had to leave the appointment.
I have only recently come to realise that practically all the waiters in London hotels are now Italians, whereas they were preponderantly German before the War. I think I like the Italian waiter type less than the German.
I enclose press cuttings with regard to the Mond Industrial Conference [5], Commonwealth financial position, and Sir Hugo Hirst. [6]
The story is told that at a recent big dinner the Prince of Wales was very bored by the long-windedness of a certain speaker. He told Birkenhead [7], who was next to him, that he would have to go soon if the man didn't stop. Birkenhead said, 'I'll stop him', and the Prince asked him, in his efforts to stop him, not to be too abrupt with him. Birkenhead merely wrote six words on the back of a menu and had it passed to the speaker, who blushed deeply, wound up at once and sat down. The Prince asked Birkenhead what he had said. Birkenhead said: 'Oh, I merely wrote "All your fly buttons are undone".' [8]
Loewenstein [9] committed suicide in a dramatic way last night by walking out of his aeroplane in mid-air over the Channel. A friend in the City telephoned this morning to say that the market in his two big international counters-Hydro-Electric and International Holdings-have halved in value in consequence, one dropping from 225 to 125 and the other from 55 to 25. His career has been not unlike that of Whitaker Wright [10] or James White. [11] I believe he banked with Schroeder's who, I suppose, will take over his activities in an attempt to clean something up out of the mess.
Sooner or later the world will have to be protected from this sort of thing.
There was an interesting Group Meeting at the Royal Institute of International Affairs last night on 'The Economic Impact of America', my notes on which I have not been able to get ready for this mail, but will send next week.
I am, Yours sincerely, R.G. CASEY

Ninjago now widespread in the UK & Ireland
Posted by Huw,I braved the shops this morning in Southampton (at the crack of dawn to avoid the crowds) and can report that both John Lewis and TRU have most of the Ninjago sets in stock. Bizarrely, they are cheaper in TRU than on LEGOshop.com. The single figure packs are 50p cheaper, £6.99 and lemaskdemasque tells me that others are cheaper as well, by up to £2. Duq reports that Smyths in Ireland has them in stock, too.
I resisted temptation and didn't buy any. The spinner/card packs have the dreaded 'Components made in China...' on the back and peeking through the packaging the minfig legs did appear to be of the tell-tale translucent Chinese type, so that's why I didn't buy those. That's not the case with the boxed sets, though, thankfully, but they didn't really appeal to me, and I'm trying to reduce my LEGO expenditure in 2011 :-)

I found 1 lone Ninjago set on a shelf in a TRU store in Toronto, ON. There was no Price Tag on it, not even on the front of the shelf (where all Price Tags are). Oddly, I found it in a Big open space on the shelf; probably planning to put out the other Ninjago sets?
i like lego: on boxing day i found all of the normal sets execpt for the dojo and all of the spinners at the tru in red deer ab, so i think that your local tru will put the rest out soon, or they are already sold out.
@R4-G9: Good news! I'm happy they have them in the province at least. Maybe something to blow some cash on?
Why would you try and buy less legos =O WHO ARE YOU!?!?!?!?
yes, i spotted in TRU & Smyths today, and confirm TRU are only £6.99 for the figure packs compared to £7.49 in Smyths...still a bit pricy for me, but i wasn't going to buy any of these kits, but i am a sucker for design and artwork, and i love it, so i think i may be tempted to buy some of these sets and pop them into my roofspace for next 20 years.
It seems like Lego has gone all in on this Ninjago stuff. To me it looks like a bad bet, but I know that bakugan and beyblades are reasonably popular with the younger set. Time will tell. I would have put out a few sets to test the waters before putting out so many sets, but I am not a business man, so maybe I'm wrong.
Our Target stores in Australia (always expensive at first, then do deep doscounts) had Ninjago on Christmas eve. The starter Ninjago set for a rip off $29AUD and single sets (one minifigure!) for $19AUD. (The price of a Star Wars four minifig and mini ship pack as one comparison) Other stores will sell this more reasonably soon enough so prices will drop.
@Flyguy: hopefully prices will drop! I expect TRU to promote this heavily as they did with the in-store demos for the board Games range earlier this year. This will hopefully equate to some freebies (eg. free keychains following the spend of $XX.XX). Whether or not Ninjago will be quickly adopted by parents/kids will determine how deep the discounts when retailers start applying the "sale" prices.
I just think the packaging is made in China, I got one of these from my uncle who was the guy at the Ninjago Event (He didn't tell me until Christmas). The fig was perfectly fine, but the top (No, not the head, the top they stand on) was Chinese. The game is actually fun though, in case you care, but it might just be me and my brother.
GameOn99: There are other things that are needed in life than LEGO. :)
To anyone who owns one of the ninjago figure packs, what are the two 2x1 bricks and the one 2x2 tile for? They look a biit strange there in the pictures...
@voyanui8768 - they have multiple uses in the game. One of the bricks, plus the plate, are used to make a holder for whichever card you have in play. One of the cards, 'shield', lets you put the two bricks on your top to help protect the figure.
lego ninjago rocks i have 4 sets and got them all at Target
ninjago is really cool :D i got the starter set and i think it is awesome!!!! :D

Kaskade Second-Guessing Next Album After Grammy Nod
Kaskade didn't win the Best Dance/Electronica Album Grammy he was up for with his 2011 double-disc Fire & Ice, but the nomination has the Chicagoland native and Utah-based DJ thinking about the album's follow-up already. Maybe thinking about it too much. Among the recent controversy that the Grammys snubbed EDM, Kaskade sits down with VIBE to discuss dance music's new recognition in the Grammys and music world in geneal, plus what's next for him. We can't wait for what's next!

William Costello, accused serial rapist, linked to two more crimes but bond lowered
West 32nd and North Federal, near the bus stop where the third victim met the suspect. |
The woman said she'd prefer the latter, but she wasn't given the choice. The affidavit notes that the man grabbed her by the back of the head and tried to force her to orally service him. She responded by fighting him off as best she could, but he overpowered her, held her down, licked her breasts, neck and lips and digitally penetrated her anus. At that point, she told him she'd provide him with oral sex, but when he climbed back into the driver's seat, she jumped out of the car, ran to a nearby home with a porch light and began asking for those inside to call the police. At that point, the suspect drove away.
Again, a rape kit was used, and again, male DNA was found on a swab that matched with Costello's.
The result of these discoveries? Costello has been charged with two counts of second-degree kidnapping, two counts of sexual assault on a child, three counts of sexual assault and two counts of impersonating a peace officer. He's being held on $200,000 and is scheduled to make his first court appearance at 9:30 a.m. today.
Look below to see a CBS4 report about Costello, as well as the aforementioned affidavits.

"There are armed groups that don't seem to belong to the security forces of the State. Why are they acting with impunity when the government is in charge of arms control? The government need to rein in these groups," he told Venezuelan television Feb. 20.
Cardinal Urosa noted that the constitution protects the right to publicly demonstrate, as long as it is done in a peaceful manner.
He also lamented the death of the 21-year-old model Genesis Carmona in Valencia when an armed group attacked a demonstration.
The Church is against any attempt to overthrow the State, the cardinal clarified, and the bishops "are willing to take part in any effort to achieve peace."
"We don't have any weapons besides our words for inviting people to abandon violent attitudes, pride and anger. This needs to be eradicated from our hearts," he said.
A week of demonstrations in Venezuela has left seven people reported dead in various cities, particularly Caracas and Valencia. Opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez remains in a military prison outside the capital after being detained Feb. 19.
Criticism is also mounting over the discontinuing of medical treatment for Father Jose Palmar, who was beaten by police officers and National Guard soldiers this week after he tried to prevent them from attacking a group of students who were demonstrating in the city of Maracaibo.

Miami Elks Lodge #948 10301 SW 72nd Street Miami, Florida 33173
Miami Elks Lodge #948
Chartered July 13th ,1905 -Come - Join Us!
Welcome to our web site. I hope you find it to be interesting and informative. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks was founded in 1868 on the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity. These principles have guided our Order since its inception and continue to point the way to our future success.
We apply these values to our everyday life by engaging in charitable activities, by raising and distributing funds and by volunteering thousands of hours per year to many worthwhile causes in the local community, the State of Florida and the nation. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks has been an agent of change and community service since its founding. Many of today's well known institutions have had their genesis with the Elks. Flag Day, for instance, was created by the Elks in 1907 and was signed into law in 1949 by President Harry S. Truman, himself an Elk. Five U.S. Presidents have been members of the Order. They are: Warren G. Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy and Gerald R. Ford. Many other Senators and Congressmen have been counted among our ranks such as House Speakers Tip O'Neill, Sam Rayburn and others, as well as stars from the fields of sports and entertainment including Lawrence Welk, Clint Eastwood, Vince Lombardi, Mickey Mantle and Whitey Ford to name a few.
The members of this lodge are proud of our heritage and our commitment to the community. We invite like minded individuals to join us in carrying out our charitable works. To qualify you must be an American citizen and you must believe in God. Although we are a private organization, we'll be glad to inform the general public of our charitable programs and our values. Perhaps you'll find yourself wanting to join us and help give something back to the community. We invite you to come by the lodge and see for yourself what we have to offer. Or click on the "Contact Us" button and send me an email. I'll be glad to answer any questions you have.
Thank you for visiting our site and I hope to see you at the lodge.
Delfin MuléExalted Ruler, Miami Elks Lodge #948
To inculcate the principles of Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love and Fidelity; to recognize a belief in God; to promote the welfare and enhance the happiness of our members; to quicken the spirit of American patriotism; to cultivate good fellowship; to perpetuate the Order as a fraternal organization, and to provide for its government, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States of America will serve the people and communities of this nation through benevolent programs, demonstrating that Elks Care and Elks Share.
The Miami Elks Lodge #948 was chartered on July 13th, 1905. William Mark Brown was the Exalted for the first two years of our existence. The lodge consisted of 22 members initially, has grown to as many as 3,000 members in the past and currently has over 1,100 members. Over the years the lodge has been a bellwether of community activity and a guiding force in shaping Miami and South Florida. Organizations like the United Way of Miami-Dade County and the South Florida Blood Bank can trace their roots to our lodge, where they started with humble beginnings and grew to be the community forces they are today. We are also a charter member of the Florida State Elks Association, comprised of 60,000 Elk members in 105 lodges throughout Florida. Nationally our organization is comprised of over 840,000 members and over 2,100 lodges. We are the largest fraternal organization in the United States. For more information about the Order and the good works we do click here.
Our aim is to lessen the suffering of those less fortunate than us and to invest in benevolent programs that help our children to realize their full potential as they grow up, to bring comfort and assistance to veterans and active military service people of the United States military, to be community leaders in the fight against drugs and to quicken the pulse of Americanism in our community. We achieve these goals using various financial instruments to fund our benevolent programs, donations, volunteerism and old fashioned hard work. We are a strong link in the chain of B.P.O.E. lodges and annually contribute thousands of dollars to charitable foundations as well as distributing thousands of dollars to the local community.

Dhaka, Oct 25 (bdnews24.com) – Health and nutrition claims in commercials produced for Bangladesh that Horlicks drinks and Maggi Noodles make children stronger have been found false and banned by Britain's advertising watchdog.
Nestlé and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), makers of Maggi Noodles and Horlicks, wrongly claimed their noodles and drinks would make children stronger, the Advertising Standards Authority has ruled in separate rulings which throw unflattering light on the food and pharmaceutical giants' marketing in the developing world.
The media watchdog ruled the adverts were misleading and inaccurate, and should not be repeated, the British media reports.
The decision highlights the growing complexity of cross-border regulation of broadcasting and the tensions between different countries with varied rules on advertising claims.
The advert for Maggi Noodles was intended for broadcast in Bangladesh but was screened by mistake on Nepali TV, a satellite channel based in London that claims to broadcast to 58 countries, making it liable to investigation by the ASA.
The commercial for Horlicks was also shown by mistake by Nepali TV. The commercials were originally made for NTV.
Nestlé said that it had not intended to show the advert in the UK, where health claims are subject to greater scrutiny than in Bangladesh.
Shown on Nepali TV, the advert suggested that Maggi Noodles helped build strong bones and muscles. A boy playing tug-of-war with his friends ran in to see his mother, who explained to him: "Maggi is the best because it has essential protein and calcium that help to build strong muscles and bones." On-screen graphics depicted a yellow glow over a bicep and a knee, implying that those areas of the body were helped by the product.
The ASA suggested that Maggi Noodles did not pass new EU rules introduced in July 2007, under which advertisers have to substantiate every health claim made for products in the UK.
The media watchdog pointed out that while the Food Standards Agency (FSA) said that products advertised as high in 'protein' must be made up of at least 12 per cent protein; Maggi Noodles had 10 per cent protein.
Products high in 'calcium' must contain 15 per cent of the recommended daily amount in a 100g serving, but the calcium in the noodles was unknown.
The ASA said: "We considered that, because we had seen no evidence that the protein in Maggi Noodles would 'help to build strong muscles and bone' we considered that the ad was misleading and that Nepali TV should not have broadcast it."
Nestlé told the ASA that it would not have sought to have the advert cleared for broadcast in the UK.
In a statement, Nestlé said: "We rigorously ensure that all health claims made on Nestlé products comply with local legislation. The advert had been approved for broadcast and complied with the necessary legal requirements in Bangladesh, the market the advertisement was intended for.
"It was never intended for transmission in the UK."
In the Horlicks advert, television viewers were told that a test had been done on 869 schoolchildren given the same kind of food and teachers.
After timing their performance at running and swimming, the testers proclaimed – to cheering - that the Horlicks-drinking children were the superior performers. "Yeah, proof has been found!," the advert stated.
"Children have become taller, stronger and sharper. The Horlicks challenge – now proven. See for yourself."
GSK said that its fortified drink had been proved in a test to help Indian children improve their performance.
"We have not approved that advert for the UK," a spokesman said.
"It's a different formulation in India, a completely different product."
GSK explained to the watchdog that the advertisement had been broadcast on Nepali TV without their knowledge or consent as part of a re-broadcast deal organised by Nepali TV with a broadcaster in Bangladesh.
GSK said Horlicks was sold in Bangladesh on a nutritional platform and was carefully fortified. It contended the claims were true for children in that part of the world and were supported by clinical studies undertaken by India's National Institute of Nutrition.
The company added that the product complied with the regulatory requirements in Bangladesh and the product was not available in the UK and that they had no intention of advertising it in Britain.
"We considered that the unavailability in the UK of the product intended for the Bangladesh market did not mean the Code did not apply, especially given that Horlicks-branded products are available in the UK," the ASA said.
"We were concerned that Nepali TV was broadcasting ads without the advertiser's consent ... Because we had seen no evidence to substantiate the claims, we considered that the ad was misleading and that Nepali TV should not have broadcast it in the UK," it said.
The ASA directed Nepali TV not to broadcast the advertisement again in its present form.
The ASA added: "We reminded Nepali TV of its Ofcom licence obligations and of the requirement to have adequate compliance procedures.
We reminded them that they should broadcast only those ads that had been cleared by Clearcast or a similar compliance officer," the Advertising Standards Agency said.
Neither GSK nor Nestlé were directly reprimanded for the commercials, with both companies stressing that they had respected the rules in place in Bangladesh and had not given their permission for rebroadcast in the UK.
But the judgment questioned the evidence to support the claims made by the two companies, while focusing its criticism on Nepali TV for broadcasting the commercials in the UK without permission.

I'm going to try and do these for as many playoff games as possible with updates as games go along. Feel free to drop in your comments as you watch either below or using the #BShelf hashtag on twitter or on our facebook page
It's the "blood bath" we've all been looking forward to and it starts TONIGHT (who says hockey fans don't like violence). We've got the obscenely talented and relatively healthy Penguins squad against the revamped, younger and nasty as always Philadelphia Flyers. The expectation is that it will be the best series of round one and if it can hit half of the hype it has garnered, we're in for a treat.
Fast Facts
- Your starting goaltenders tonight are Ilya Bryzgalov and Marc-Andre Fleury. Not a single person reading this is shocked.
Bryzgalov's line vs. Pittsburgh this season: 2-0-0; 2.59 GAA; .913 SV%
Fleury's line vs. Philadelphia this season: 1-3-1; 3.41 GAA; .872 SV%
A couple people reading this are probably shocked given the press these guys got this season. Not to belabor the importance of goaltending in this sport, but yeah, these guys will need to be huge.
- Danny Briere and Niklas Grossman will be in the lineup for Philadelphia tonight while Pavel Kubina will not.
Expected Lineups per morning skates:
Scott Hartnell – Claude Giroux – Jaromir Jagr
Brayden Schenn – Daniel Briere – Wayne Simmonds
Zac Rinaldo – Sean Couturier – Maxime Talbot
Jakub Voracek – Eric Wellwood – Matt Read
Kimmo Timonen – Matt Carle
Braydon Coburn – Nicklas Grossman
Marc-Andre Bourdon – Andreas Lilja
Chris Kunitz-Evgeni Malkin-James Neal
Steve Sullivan-Sidney Crosby-Pascal Dupuis
Matt Cooke-Jordan Staal-Tyler Kennedy
Arron Asham-Joe Vitale-Craig Adams
Kris Letang – Paul Martin
Zbynek Michalek – Brooks Orpik
Ben Lovejoy – Deryk Engelland
Two other useful things:
Flyers twitter for updates
Penguins twitter for updates
After one period…
-The Pens are up 3-0 and the Flyers look moderately shell shocked.
-Crosby scores the first goal of the playoffs which is sort of poetic in a way.
-Tyler Kennedy made it 2-0 after a beautiful feed from Jordan Staal.
-Dupuis wraps up the period with a tally and Bryzgalov looks bad on this one.
After two periods…
-It was more of the same in the second period minus the goals from Pittsburgh as they drove possession and got several more good chances
-Bryzgalov looked much more settled in net and seem to be in better position
-Daniel Briere's goal counted, but it really shouldn't have when you get this look at things.
-Here's how it ended for Danny…

By default, Windows XP doesn't have the necessary codecs to play DVD movies. Download the K-Lite Codec Pack (and I'd suggest the "Full" version). You should then be able to play the film.

Thank you I will do that. But I am wanting to put still pic on a DVD. Another prob is that I saw free downloads for Nere, I saved them. I thought it was going to go in Documents but I saved them on my desk top with a zip but when I try to open them they will not, and it doens't say run, so I think I will have the same problem

Did you use Nero 6 to capture the Video to the hard drive, if so will it play on the computer directly from the harddrive?, If so what is the Format AVI or MPEG. AVI is RAW (Unformatted data) and MPEG is structured data.
Have a look at alternative burner to see if one of them suits you better.
Windows xp does not have a native unzipper, however a quick search will find plenty of free programs to do the job

Since we're in Florida we try to make it up to WDW about 3 times a year. One of the three trips is usually a week-long trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary. This year, we've decided to go out of state for our anniversary so we won't be doing a week at Disney. We also usually do Star Wars Weekends and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween but my husband has decided that he doesn't want to deal with the heat in June and that Halloween is too close to our anniversary to take a WDW trip.
So, this leaves me to anxiously figure out a way to squeeze a WDW trip in this year. We've both started new jobs so we really can't take too much time off so I thought spending a long weekend (3 days/2 nights) should be fine. Of course now we have to go during peak season when we usually try to do value or regular.
My question is (yes, I have one! :lol: ), do you think it's worth paying the extra $$ just to squeeze in a WDW fix when we'll probably go next year? If we do squeeze this trip in, it'll probably have to be the first full week of March. Is it really crowded?

[1779] A Role for HPV Analysis in Distinguishing Second Primary Tumors from Lung Metastases in Patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
JA Bishop, PB Illei, WH Westra. The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, MD
Background: For patients with head and squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), a squamous cell carcinoma in the lung may represent either a primary lung cancer or a metastasis. Although the distinction influences patient prognosis and therapy, it is far from straightforward using standard clinical and histologic parameters. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is an etiologic agent for an important subgroup of HNSCCs, but not for primary lung carcinomas. Detection of HPV could be useful in establishing tumor origin and clarifying other important relationships for patients with HNSCC who develop a squamous cell carcinoma in the lung.
Design: We performed HPV in-situ hybridization on 46 squamous cell carcinomas involving the lungs of patients with a prior history of HNSCC. HPV status was correlated with certain clinical features including anatomic site of the HNSCC and disease free interval.
Results: HPV was detected in 5 of 46 (11%) cancers in the lungs. When stratified by anatomic site of the prior HNSCC, HPV was more common in patients with oropharyngeal carcinomas than in those with non-oropharyngeal carcinomas (25% vs. 0%, p = 0.01). The presence of HPV was confirmed in the corresponding oropharyngeal carcinomas (3 of 3, 100%). Although lung carcinomas in patients with HNSCC are generally believed to represent second primary tumors if they occur more than 3 years after treatment of the HNSCC, 4 of the HPV-positive lung metastases were discovered beyond this time frame. Indeed, 2 patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal carcinomas developed lung metastases after a disease free interval of 8 years.
Conclusions: For patients with carcinomas of the oropharynx who develop squamous cell carcinomas in their lungs, HPV analysis may be helpful in clarifying tumor relationships. These relationships may not always be obvious on clinical grounds as HPV-related HNSCC may metastasize long after treatment of the primary tumor. Although not previously appreciated, long periods of quiescence is in keeping with the improved 5 year-survival rates associated with HPV-related HNSCC and underscores a need for long term patient follow-up.
