American-Philippine Relations: A Guide to the Resources in the Michigan Historical Collections
Balita mula Maynila (News from Manila)
By Thomas Powers
In 1874, nearly twenty-five years before the United States acquired the Philippine Islands, Joseph B. Steere, a zoology professor at The University of Michigan, stopped at the Islands while touring remote corners of the globe for the University Museum. The Islands fascinated Steere and he returned for further explorations in 1887 accompanied by several zoology students from the University. Among the members of this party was Dean Conant Worcester. Three years later, Worcester headed his own party to the Philippines under the auspices of the Minnesota Academy of Natural Science. From 1890 to 1893, he studied and traveled throughout the Islands and acquired a thorough knowledge of Philippine affairs. These three scientific voyages to the Philippines mark the beginning of an extraordinary relationship between the people of Michigan and The University of Michigan and the Islands which continues to this day.

Few Americans, in the weeks immediately preceding the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, knew of the exploratory work done by Steere and Worcester. For these citizens, only the heroics of Admiral Dewey entering Manila Harbor put the Philippines on the map. Once under control, however, the Philippines became a leading topic of conversation for all Americans. The successful conclusion of the "splendid little war" sparked a major debate on whether the Philippines should become a permanent American colony. Proponents of expansionism, including Theodore Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Alfred T. Mahan, relished the idea of a colonial empire in the Pacific. Advancing strategic, political, economic, and moral arguments, the American imperialists reasoned that the United States had a moral duty to govern the Philippines and elevate her people to "civilized" democratic standards. Ralph W. Taylor, an American teacher in the Philippines, made use of this argument when he wrote: "The Filipinos could not govern themselves now, but as soon as they show themselves fit to assume more control it should be allowed them. I think they should be governed as nearly as possible with the freedom of the English colonies if and when they show their capacity for governing."
Opposing the imperialists was an impressive array of anti-colonial spokesmen, including Grover Cleveland, William Jennings Bryan, Andrew Carnegie, and Mark Twain. The anti-imperialists challenged the assumptions upon which expansionists like Taylor had based their arguments. They insisted that an American controlled government in the Philippines, a foreign land far off in the Pacific, violated both the tradition of government by the consent of the governed and the intent of the Declaration of Independence.
On February 6, 1899, the Senate of the United States decided in favor of the imperialists. With the ratification of the Treaty of Paris, the Philippine Islands officially passed into American control. In lofty tones, President McKinley spoke of the new colony. "The Philippines are ours," he stated, "not to exploit, but to develop, to civilize, to educate, to train in the science of self-government .
For this purpose, the President solicited the support of experienced teachers and administrators to serve as his political missionaries in the Philippines. Drawing from the nation's colleges and universities, the President and his advisers selected men who seemed intent on serving the "best interests" of the Philippine people by awakening them to American institutions and preparing them for eventual self-government.
Dean C. Worcester stood high on the President's list of Philippine experts. Recognizing Worcester's special knowledge of Philippine affairs, McKinley selected the Michigan zoologist to be a member of the First Philippine Commission in 1899. With this step, the relationship between Michigan and the Islands took on wider political implications, going far beyond its original scientific orientation. Worcester remained in the Philippines for more than fourteen years, being reappointed to the Second Philippine Commission and serving as Secretary of the Interior of the Philippine Insular Government and as Superintendent of Public Instruction.

Worcester's reasons for coming to the Islands were primarily scientific and political. Michigan men also played major military roles in the archipelago. When Emilio Aguinaldo and his followers realized that the United States meant to retain the Philippines, they revolted against this rule hoping to obtain their immediate independence. The United States countered by deploying a large military contingent to suppress the "insurrection." Harry Bandholtz of Constantine, Michigan, and Frank Burton of Bay City both served in the forces which captured Aguinaldo and which eventually prevailed over the Filipino guerilla army. While Burton returned to Michigan shortly thereafter, Bandholtz remained in the Philippines and eventually became the head of the Philippine Constabulary, the chief peacekeeping force in the Islands.
Teaching was another category of service for Michigan men. In a letter to University of Michigan president James B. Angell, Dean C. Worcester wrote: "We need especially at the present time good primary and secondary schoolteachers, and we shall soon need strong and energetic, and above all, honest, young men for positions which will pay better than similar positions pay at home and will give opportunity for advancement should it be merited." Many young university graduates, in this day before the Peace Corps, including Ralph W. Taylor of Albion, Michigan, and George Carrothers, later to be professor at The University of Michigan, found the pay and the chance to teach and travel in this exotic corner of the Pacific Ocean irresistible.
Joseph Ralston Hayden, professor of political science at The University of Michigan, was an exchange professor at the University of the Philippines during 1922-1923. Teaching, however, was but one of Hayden's interests in the Philippines. He accompanied Colonel Carmi A. Thompson on his 1926 survey of economic and internal conditions in the islands for President Calvin Coolidge. Four years later, he again taught at the University of the Philippines while also serving as correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed this scholarly student of Philippine affairs to be Vice Governor-General of the Islands, a position which he filled with distinction until the inauguration of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1935. During the Second World War, Hayden capped his Philippine career with service in the Office of Strategic Services and as adviser on the Philippines to General Douglas MacArthur.
To other Michigan men, the attraction of the Philippines was the administration of its legal system. In 1903, E. Finley Johnson, professor of law at The University of Michigan, began serving on the Philippine Supreme Court. He was joined in 1917 by George Arthur Malcolm of Concord, Michigan, and a graduate of the Michigan Law School.
Frank Murphy, Macabebe, Philippines,
1933, from his papers
Perhaps the most colorful of Michigan's representatives to serve in the Philippines was Frank Murphy. Murphy served both as Governor-General and later as High Commissioner in the critical years of 1933-1936. The Murphy appointment had shocked many experienced Philippine observers, including Joseph R. Hayden. In their estimation Murphy was not equipped to handle the sensitive Philippine post. In the years that followed Murphy mollified even his harshest critics. The Governor-General, his brother George Murphy, his sister Marguerite Teahan, and his aides, Norman Hill and Edward Kemp, played key roles in the crisis over independence. Murphy eased the transition to commonwealth status which was to precede complete political autonomy. In 1935 he became the first High Commissioner of the Philippines and held this position until the lure of Democratic politics brought him back to the United States in 1936.
For a brief time following Murphy's return, Michigan had relatively few major leaders in the Philippines. This changed with the outbreak of the Second World War. Michigan men served as part of the military forces which resisted the Japanese at Bataan and Corregidor and which later triumphed at the battles of the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf. American forces invaded Luzon and occupied the capital city of Manila in February of 1945.
On July 4, 1946, after nearly a half-century of colonial rule, the United States and the Philippine Islands severed the political bonds which united them. Now an independent nation, the Philippines maintained its close relationship with The University of Michigan and the people of the state. Two Michigan men have served as U.S. Ambassador to the Islands. Former U.S. Senator Homer Ferguson served in that position during 1955-1956 in the Eisenhower Administration; and most recently, Michigan's six-term governor G. Mennen Williams filled the Ambassador's post during the last year of the Johnson Administration.
The history of American involvement in the Philippines would not be complete without an understanding of the role played by Michiganians in the modern development of the Islands. For nearly a century now, beginning with Steere's first voyage to the Islands in 1874 and continuing with Governor Williams' tenure as U.S. Ambassador, many of Michigan's most distinguished citizens have served in the Philippines. The papers of these Michiganians now represent an important key to understanding America's colonial experiment. They also contain an enormous quantity of information relating to internal Philippine affairs. Because of the contribution of individual Michiganians, the libraries of The University of Michigan, particularly the Michigan Historical Collections, have become the repository for a great deal of Philippine manuscript material. In recent years, this collection has grown noticeably both in size and importance. Of special significance was the acquisition of the microfilmed papers of Manuel Quezon, first President of the Philippine Commonwealth, and the addition of new material into the previously established collections of Frank Murphy, Joseph R. Hayden, and G. Mennen Williams. The purpose of this descriptive bibliography is to bring these manuscript collections to the attention of the Philippine scholar.

Centuries-old debate still rages over religion's role in public life
By Dennis Sadowski
Catholic News Service
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Although today's often vitriolic rhetoric about the role of religion in public life seems like a modern-day affliction, Americans have been debating how to balance tensions between faith and politics for more than 230 years.
The key question: How much should religion -- and by inference God -- influence the political landscape?
The question isn't the problem, said Stephen Schneck, director of the Life Cycle Institute at The Catholic University of America in Washington. More so, it's how the question is addressed. It's the malicious nature of the debate over the proper role of religion today which has people like Schneck concerned.
Schneck approached the subject from a historical perspective during a May 13 panel discussion on the need for civility as the 2008 election plays out.
He was joined at the program sponsored by Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good by the Rev. Derrick Harkins, senior pastor at 19th Street Baptist Church in Washington; Sammie Moshenberg, director of Washington operations of the National Council of Jewish Women; and retired U.S. ambassador Thomas P. Melady, who once served at the Vatican and now is diplomat in residence at the Institute of World Politics, also in Washington.
In outlining the early history of debate which took place among the country's founders, Schneck said questions about the proper role of religion in public policy have long been debated, especially when America faced crucial decisions.
"The question of the rightful role for religion in American public life, frankly, is a perennial one," Schneck said, citing the campaign for civil rights in the 1950s and 1960s, the struggle against immigration in the late 19th century, and efforts to address the social welfare needs of people living in decrepit urban slums at the beginning of the country's industrial age. "We forget that. It's a question struggled with in every generation."
Schneck has spent part of this year, a sabbatical year, addressing the issue of civility in the 2008 election campaign. He and 27 colleagues from Catholic, evangelical and mainline Protestant traditions released a statement called "Keeping Faith: Principles to Protect Religion on the Campaign Trail" in January, urging that religion not be used for partisan purposes on the campaign trail.
Similar statements have been issued since November by the Catholic Civility Project led by a group of prominent Catholics, including 11 former ambassadors and former chairmen of the Republican and Democratic national committees, and the Jewish community.
Schneck explained that in the 18th century there were four views in the debate, not just the liberal and conservative extremes that dominate the public arena today.
On one side were the Christian millennialists, who believed that the establishment of the United States was the inauguration of the new Jerusalem and that the country had an extraordinary mission in history. "They argued strenuously for a zealous role of Christianity in the public square," he said.
On what Schneck called "the other radical extreme," participants held a more secular view of the country's founding. People such as Thomas Paine and Ethan Allen argued from their deist beliefs that yes, God created the world and its natural laws, but that God took no further role in the world. They believed that the birth of the United States of America marked the end of religion and that the new country was to be an empire of reason that would put talk of God's influence on its shaping to rest.
"What's curious is these two extremes -- the radical deists on one side and the radical Christian millennialists on the other side -- seem to be what we've got today oddly enough," Schneck said. "It was precisely those two extremes that were really rejected by the consensus that formed about the proper role of religion in American political life in that framing generation."
Schneck, whose work with colleagues at the Life Cycle Institute examines public policies and their relationship to Catholic social teaching, later told
Catholic News Service
that the two views that were rejected in the 18th century have made their way back to the forefront of political debate today. The middle ground between the extremes of left and right has faded today, he said.
He also identified the two remaining perspectives held by a broader cross section of the country's founders. People such as George Washington and John Adams believed that it was important to have a civil religion, one which transcended denominational boundaries but lent sanctity to public ceremonies. They felt that such practice of religion publicly would bind the new nation with a spirit of nationalism, he explained.
The fourth view, he said, espoused by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and others, held that such a civil religion would threaten religion locally. They believed in the separation of church and state but also that local religion fostered the virtues of civility and caring for one another that democracy needs. It is that view, Schneck said, which eventually guided the country's founders.
It's also that view which Schneck and the other panelists hope becomes the guiding principle as the 2008 election unfolds.
"My suggestion is that I think America still has much to learn from that founding generation," he said. "In regard to the question about religion in public life, it seems to me that this is the lesson we have to relearn. That it's not about the eschatological extremes of one side or the other. But this is the proper area for the debate and discussion about the role of religion in public life."

No loss. He is a dime a dozen player. Keep the Golic kid or Embernate and train them up.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
Legursky, GET IN THERE ! He has a good football name. Actually I'm not pleased that he left the team because he did do a nice job as center when called upon. Pouncey isn't exactly a man of steel either. Can't keep them all so I'm sure the Steelers did what they had to do.
Who is else potentially "signable" by another team?
Now I'm going to have nightmares like I wake up and read, "Roethlisberger signed by XYZ. Steelers get two 3rd round picks in 2025 as compensation".

Little Shop of Horrors
Pitlochry Festival Theatre's 61st season gets an all-encompassing title of "Flights of Fancy". The programme notes that this year's six productions have been chosen "because they delight in putting the fantastical, the outlandish and the all-but-impossible onstage". And that is the perfect description of the opening offering - the now-traditional musical.
Emily Altneu, Elliot Harper, Jo Freer and Natasha Lewis in Little Shop of Horrors at Pitlochry Festival Theatre (previous picture shows Charlie Tighe) Photo: Douglas McBride
It will certainly appeal to a different breed of theatregoer, following last year's record-breaking My Fair Lady - it is raucous, fast-moving and ridiculously entertaining.
Chiffon (Emily Altneu), Crystal (Natasha Lewis) and Ronnette (Jo Freer) set the standard with the opening number - a standard that is never to wane in Durnin's electric production. Charlie Tighe brings geekiness to new levels as Seymour and Kate Quinnell makes a welcome return as Audrey, the masticating, squawking Bronx blonde. She was Eliza last year - such versatility, and add to that the necessity to play saxophone, clarinet and keyboards. Elliot Harper makes a huge impression in a variety of roles, none more so than the gloating dentist and Robin Harvey Edwards bumbles along as the unwitting shop owner Mushnik. Under Stuart Watson, the whole cast - including Kathryn Ritchie and Dan Smith - contributes on and offstage musically with Joseph Mann (manipulation) and David Delve (voice) also in charge of Audrey, the voracious plant.
The florist's shop and neighbouring buildings get a real Skid Row feel from designer Charles Cusick Smith.
A nice touch comes in a post-curtain call reprise with the cast out front as musicians giving the patrons a chance to fully appreciate the multi-talented ensemble.

They also note that only about 25 percent of Marin's greenhouse gas emissions are caused by electricity use, while cars and other vehicles account for 62 percent of the emissions.
Prior to the formation of the Marin Energy Authority, the county of Marin compared Marin Clean Energy's potential for cutting greenhouse gases to existing alternatives.
These included: changes in county building codes that require the use of energy-saving designs and equipment; Marin Energy Watch Partnership, a program funded by California utility ratepayers that provides resources and incentives to help residents and businesses become more energy-efficient; low-interest government loans to homeowners and small businesses for energy-efficiency programs and solar panels made possible by passage of AB 811; and the installation of solar panels on government buildings throughout Marin.All of these efforts combined would cut Marin's greenhouse gas emissions by just 17,908 tons per year by 2019, the analysis showed. That compares with between 237,374 tons per year and 534,000 tons per year under Marin Clean Energy.
John Dalessi, a director in Navigant Consulting's energy practice, said Marin Clean Energy's biggest cuts in greenhouse gases would come with construction of its own renewable electricity generation projects.
"Short-term, it's more of an accounting exercise," Dalessi said. Navigant Consulting helped write the Marin Clean Energy business plan.
Marin County Supervisor Charles McGlashan, who serves as chairman of the Marin Energy Authority board, said, "The elegance of Marin Clean Energy is that it takes no general fund, taxpayer money. In a pain-free manner for ratepayers, we redirect revenue and get an enormous reduction in greenhouse gas."

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Title: Russia arrests eight after recovering Arctic Sea
freighter Author: Peter Walker, Caroline Davies, Tom Parfitt
Four Estonians, two Latvians and two Russian nationals
arrested as defence minister says ship was 'hijacked' two
weeks ago
Russian troops who located a cargo ship that vanished for more
than a fortnight, arrested eight suspected pirates when they
boarded the vessel off the coast of west Africa, the country's
defence minister said today.
The armed hijackers - four Estonian, two Latvian and two
Russian nationals - had been in control of the Arctic Sea
since boarding it in Swedish waters on 24 July, Anatoly
Serdyukov said, according to Russian news agencies.
On the orders of the pirates, the ship's 15-strong Russian
crew switched off their location transmitters and sailed
towards Africa. The vessel was found 300 miles off the coast
of the Cape Verde islands following a joint operation
involving Russia's navy and air force, Serdyukov was quoted as
saying by Interfax.
The ship was intercepted by an anti-submarine warfare ship,
the Ladny, and the crew were freed without a shot being fired,
he said.
The eight suspected pirates were being questioned on board the
Ladny, Interfax added, while the crew were en route to Russia.
If the version of events is confirmed, the Arctic Sea would,
according to Swedish officials, be the first ship to have
suffered such a pirate attack in the country's waters since
the 17th century.
The disappearance of the Arctic Sea as it carried a -L-1.1m
cargo of timber on a planned route between Finland and Algeria
left experts baffled. The day after it set off on its voyage,
the ship was boarded by up to a dozen armed men as it sailed
through the Baltic Sea, according to an account later given by
crew members to marine authorities in Malta, where it is
The masked raiders bound, blindfolded and beat the crew
before, initial reports said, departing in an inflatable boat
12 hours later, leaving the ship's communications equipment
The Arctic Sea was known to have made contact with Dover
coastguards on 28 July, but, at that point there had been no
alert over the attack so there was no hunt for the ship.
British coastguards speculated later that the routine
communication from the Arctic Sea could have been made either
by the hijackers or a crew member speaking under duress.
Two days later, the ship was spotted in the Bay of Biscay, and
its automatic tracking system recorded the position. From then
on, however, there was no further contact. The tracking system
appeared either to have been switched off or to have stopped
working from that day. It was due to make port in Algeria on 4
August, but seemingly changed direction, heading out into the
western Atlantic.
Then, French officials reported the same day that a ship
"resembling" the Arctic Sea had been spotted off the Cape
Verde islands, west of Senegal, though there was no immediate
confirmation of this.
The plot took a further twist at the weekend, with
unsubstantiated reports that the ship's Finnish owners, who
have denied its cargo is anything other than timber, had
received a ransom note for a "large sum", reported to be
almost -L-1m. But there was never confirmation whether this
was genuine.
Given the ship's valuable but commonplace official cargo,
unsubstantiated suggestions have been made that the ship might
have been hijacked because it was carrying a "secret"
shipment, such as drugs or arms, unknown to its crew or

Cape Verde, Russia: Ambassador Questions Sighting Of Ship
August 14, 2009 2221 GMT
In an interview with Ria Novosti on Aug. 14, Russian
Ambassador to Cape Verde Alexander Karpushin disputed earlier
reports that the Arctic Sea, a cargo ship that disappeared in
the Atlantic Ocean last month, was sighted near Cape Verde. He
said that despite the head of Cape Verde's armed forces report
of the sighting, it could not be confirmed.
Cape Verde: Missing Cargo Ship Located
August 14, 2009 1814 GMT
The missing Russian-manned cargo ship, the Arctic Sea, has
been located about 520 miles off the coast of Cape Verde, the
French Defense Ministry said Aug. 14, The Associated Press
Russia says finds missing ship, crew alive
Mon Aug 17, 2009 10:10am EDT
ASTRAKHAN, Russia (Reuters) - Russia has found a missing
merchant ship, whose disappearance baffled European maritime
authorities, near the Cape Verde islands and the crew are
alive, Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said on Monday.
He told President Dmitry Medvedev that the crew of the Arctic
Sea freighter, which went missing two weeks ago, had been
taken on board a Russian navy ship.
"Today at one o'clock in the morning Moscow time, the ship was
found 300 miles off the Cape Verde islands," Serdyukov told
Medvedev during a presidential visit to the southern Russian
city of Astrakhan.
"The crew have been transferred to our anti-submarine ship,
the Ladny, where they are being questioned to clarify all the
circumstances of the disappearance," he said. "The crew are
all alive and well."
The Kremlin ordered Russian warships to join the hunt for the
4,000-tonne, 98-meter bulk carrier Arctic Sea after it went
missing in European waters.
The Maltese-registered vessel, carrying a $1.3-million cargo
of timber, was supposed to have docked on August 4 in the
Algerian port of Bejaia.

Article Author : muckshifter Date : 1st Feb 2005 Comments : |
First, let me make my opinion clear: The installation of adware should be illegal and harshly punished. Adware has exploded because it offers big economic incentives for its sponsors. They'll never adequately inform PC users about their software before it's installed. This troubling aspect of adware will never be wished away.
Only software that a PC user specifically consents to should legally be able to install ... and "end-user license agreements" that stretch off the screen should never be counted as consent. (This isn't a knock on "ad-supported software," such as the Opera browser. Such legitimate software is clearly integrated with its advertising and makes it easy to shut off the ads by registering.) In reality, today's tech-illiterate legislatures will never ban adware ... if they could even think of an effective legal approach to do so. We need to engage the battle on a technical level instead. To understand adware, you first need to know how PCs get it. The ways that Howes obtained the adware he used in his tests provide us with some perfect examples: Software downloads For one group of tests, Howes downloaded and installed Grokster, a popular peer-to-peer file-sharing program, from CNET Download.com. Installing Grokster and clicking OK in its subsequent dialog boxes loaded 15 separate adware programs, containing 134 "critical" executable components, by Howes's count. This source of infection would compromise even Windows XP with its new Service Pack 2 (SP2). Drive-by downloads To set up another group of tests, Howes used Internet Explorer to visit the following Web locations: 007 Arcade Games (a games site), LyricsDomain (a song lyrics site), and Innovators of Wrestling (yep, a wrestling site). This resulted in 23 different adware programs being installed, carrying 138 components, Howes says. Drive-by downloads such as these are now less of a problem for users who've installed XP SP2. You can't step into the same river twice For yet another test, Howes visited the wrestling site again, but on a different date. The makers of adware must have signed a lot of distribution contracts with the site in the interim. Howes says his PC picked up 25 adware programs and 153 components on that one visit alone. (You'll notice that I didn't link to the examples I cited above, and I strongly recommend that you avoid trying any of them.) It's not enough to say "PC users should be more careful." Computer professionals, instead, have a duty and an obligation to prevent adware from infecting their PCs or anyone else's. Here are some steps to take: Use Giant AntiSpyware (or install the MS beta), Webroot Spy Sweeper, and CWShredder. At the moment, this is the short list of programs that appear to remove the largest number of adware components. I recommend that you buy the registered versions of these applications and keep them constantly updated. The few dollars involved are well worth it, compared to the damage that can be done by a rogue program controlling your PC. Microsoft hasn't yet announced whether its version of the Giant application will cost money or be free after the beta period is over ... stay tuned. (Note: The MS beta is incompatible with the MS Media Center Extender and has other 0.9-type issues.) For prevention, install IE-SPYAD and Spyware Blaster. IE-SPYAD is a list maintained by Eric Howes of approximately 8,900 Web sites that are known to do things like install adware, hijack your browser home page, etc. Merging the list into your Windows Registry puts these sites into IE's Restricted Sites zone. They can't do much of anything to you then. The list, as of this writing, requires manual updating, but Howes hopes to automate the process soon. Spyware Blaster is freeware by Javacool Software recommended to guard against adware installs. A registration fee of $9.95 USD enables the auto-update feature of the software, which I encourage. Javacool also makes a related program, SpywareGuard. As commercial anti-adware programs develop their own always-on defenses, they may conflict with alternatives such as Spyware Blaster. Check the maker's documentation for possible incompatibilities before installing multiple products. Read up on Eric Howes's site. Aside from Howes's postings about his anti-adware test suite, linked to below, a particularly good read is his analysis of so-called anti-adware programs that are actually Trojan horses. People are so desperate to get rid of the adware that's slowing their systems to a crawl, Howes says, that too often they grasp at anything that promises a fix. See his list of rogue/suspect anti-spyware. For big problems, consider stronger tools. HikackThis, for example, is a deep-analysis utility that examines the Registry and sectors of hard disks where adware often lurks. It's not a tool for novices, but a serious scalpel for those who are faced with major surgery on their PC. It produces log files that can be analyzed by experts, many of whom help PC users by volunteering their time in online forums. HijackThis quick start Finally a note from me ... your belief that Ad-Aware & SBS&D offer you great protection is wrong. It is a fact the used together they only offer you at best 47% protection. Using the above combination will afford you more protection, be aware however, that protection will still only amount to 74%. However, I can personally & highly recommend you to at least try for yourself ... I'm sure you will be in for a pleasant surprise ... I was, and I am convinced the combination listed above is right for you.

At Tribal Council, Erik starts acting out Survivor: Monkey Island by removing bugs form Andrea's hair (although he doesn't fully commit and eat them), Phillip continues to publicize every single move that Stealth "R" Us makes by gleefully informing Jeff Probst of Sherri's new code name, Sherri and Eddie get into a minor war of words, and Phillip goes out of his way to mention "season 22 Redemption Island" as many times as humanly possible.
But then Phillip goes from silly to just plain stupid. After spending all this time and energy to make sure Malcolm has no clue that the Favorites are all still working against him, the Faves have to sit there and watch Phillip go off on a speech about how anyone that thinks they're smart and tries to flip will get flushed out. It is around this point when it finally dawned on me: Philip Sheppard does not know what the word stealth means. He can't. Because every single move Phillip Sheppard has made in this game has been the exact opposite of stealth. Hell, for this latest outburst he may as well have just gotten Tata the bushman to make him a big flashing neon sign that he could have held up at Tribal Council saying "Malcolm, we know what you are doing and are all united against you. P.S. Buy my new book, The Costa Rica Job, available now at Amazon and Barnes & Noble. I plan to tweet about it early and often."
So everyone goes up to vote, and then all chaos breaks out. Reynold goes to play his idol, but then Malcolm stops him in his tracks. "Hold up, Reynold," says Malcolm. "They all voted for me. You can tell. That's what that whole story was about. Give it to me and we're in good shape. I'm being dead serious right now." And then Reynold gives it to him! This is amazing for many reasons. Let's look at just a few.
1. Malcolm already has an idol of his own! And yet instead of playing it, he got someone else who was also in danger and about three steps away from playing it to give it to him his instead. BRILLIANT! What if Reynold had said no? Would Malcolm have then played his? Did he even bring his? So many questions, but a truly bold and ballsy move by Malcolm.
2. The best part about Malcolm getting Reynold to give him his idol? The fact that Malcolm voted for Reynold to be out of the game. Incredible.
3. As dramatic as all of this was, it ended up making no difference whatsoever because the Faves and Sherri ended up following Andrea's new plan to vote out Michael, and boy, are they glad they did. Although it should be pointed out that had Phillip not been so positively transparent and un-stealthy in his Tribal Council comments, that they could have stuck with the plan to vote off Malcolm. So in the end, whether Reynold or Malcolm played it didn't really matter. The idol would be flushed either way. But damn, it sure was fun to watch.
NEXT: And then there was one (pick to win it all) left

The superb International Journal of Systematic Theology has posted the theme for the 2009 Colin Gunton theological essay contest, which is: Does ecumenical theology have a future?
I think I may actually enter an essay for this one. I've thought about doing it for previous years but have never found the topics interesting enough until now. So, for the time being, what says my readership? Does ecumenical theology have a future? If so, what is it?

Café on the Bay, 5370 Gulf of Mexico Drive, closed Sunday, July 26.
According to a note taped to its door, Café on the Bay has been sold. A new restaurant will re-open in the same location in the Centre Shops this fall.
Former owners Titus Letschert and Betsie Coolidge were not available for comment.
Letschert and Coolidge will retain ownership of Café L'Europe, 431 St. Armands Circle.
Bill Herlihy, general manager of Café L'Europe, could not disclose the buyer's name but said that a deal was finalized approximately two weeks ago.
"They got a great offer and decided to go with it," he said.
Herlihy said the restaurant would most likely operate under a new name.
Café on the Bay opened in 1995 at the Longboat Key Club and Resort Moorings Marina. In 2006, the restaurant moved to its Centre Shops location.

In a world where music has become irrelevant, in a time where quantity comes over quality…a new force rises from within…armed with magic machines of ancient times…driven by pure passion and devotion…..fueled by the craft and skills of their forefathers….they will fight to make music free again…they will rage until the spirits of old will have their revenge….they go by the name….Chrome Brulee.

Rob Puricelli has been working with the new UVI Emulation II Sample Library, which recreates the 80s sounds of the Emulator II and Drumulator.
He's impressed:
So, is this one of the best Emulator emulations out there? I'd have to say yes.
I'm an Emulator fan. I'm an 80?s fan. I'm also a big lover of simple yet powerful interfaces that support the creative process, not hinder it. If you plonk me in front of an over elaborate, beautifully scripted interface, I'll marvel at it's beauty but will be stumped by the complexity.
I'm here to make music with sounds. I want power and control but I don't want to read a 6 inch think manual or require a degree to operate it. I want clear, attractive controls, simple intuitive navigation and above all else, superb sonics and patches that inspire.
On all these counts, Emulation II, and it's free drum based partner, is a hands down winner.

I get Porkies in northern Minnesota as well. They haven't been able to get past the deer fence to my fruit trees, but they sure have damaged several of my oak trees. On average, I have to kill one or two about every year. I usually have a gun in my truck year round so I can shoot them if I see one in my area. The biggest one that I've shot was nearly 35#s. I found it after our dog came back with a face full of quills. Not, fun pulling quills out of a 120# dog. Definitely a two man job. It is the only animal that I don't want anywhere near my property. Even the Dept of Natural Resources lets you shoot them on sight now. |

Yikes! I cant imagine the problems with those moose! We have the occasional porky here. I used to have Scottish deer hounds and they would find every one. I used to have to keep a bottle of rompun in the fridge. Give the dog a shot. 2 minutes later pull all the quills out while he sleeps. |

Harvest- That was from a StarTribune article (MSP newspaper). I've only seem them in zoos. I'll have to ask my brother if he has ever seen any while out hunting or on his game cameras, but i've never heard anyone talk about them. I know maps show them occupying the north woods of Wisconsin. |

When I was young (a long time ago) Vermont was overrun with porcupines, you would see them all the time in the woods, and they caused alot of damage on both trees and buildings (they would chew up the wood to get any minerals they could). Then the State re-introduced Fishers (which eat them), and the population dropped like a rock. Now I rarely see any at all. |
Very destructive in the Maine woods. I have had 3 in one apple tree. Once one cut and dropped to the ground every water sprout. There were hundreds on the ground. I should have hired that one. You have heard of the show, Alaska, the Last Frontier. They are the west coast Switzers and we are the east coast Switzers. Like them we do what needs to be done. As a farmer you need to manage properly. |
Konrad, I've been complaining all winter about the hundreds of cottontails I have and then I read this and my problems now seem smaller. Porcupines who knew?! Here is a picture of my biggest problem in Kansas :0) |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bella, a Alliance German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Alliance, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Alliance.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Alliance 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 Alliance 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 German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Alliance paves the way for another one to be saved.

The client provides Employee Benefits Consulting, Human Resource Services, Benefits Administration, Payroll, Property and Casualty and other services for client companies, enabling them to focus on their core businesses. The Challenge The client had payroll as part of their vast array of services, but wanted to provide clients with a single system of entry to manage and process payroll data. "We needed to make a truly payroll integrated product from two separate systems with different programming, different databases and different technologies," said the company's Director of IT. "It was critical to have the solution developed for us in a timely manner in order to maximize the benefits for our valued clients." The new solution would have to integrate a recently acquired Nationally recognized payroll application — ExecuPay — with the client's already already-established Web-based human resources and based a benefits system, AccessHR.

Denise Donohue, Donohue AssociatesSo there I was, visiting a prospective new client. I got all excited about the client's meat products, so I asked where I could buy some.
And that's when the hooting started.
He handed me a brochure.
"You expect me to carry this piece of paper around?" I shouted. Of course, I only shouted in my head because I really wanted to work with this guy.
And he needed to work with me — or someone, to clarify his position in the marketplace.
Back story: This company is a big success. It is a new, fast-growing processor that literally saved dozens of growers from bankruptcy when the only winged-animal meat processor took flight out of Michigan.
A university guru suggested this company — let's call it "MeatX" — needed assistance pulling together its market positioning, communications and consumer/retail activities.
When I cold-called to set the meeting, the secretary said they needed such help.
But the marketing guy thinks it's doing well enough.
That is too bad, because it has adopted a market position that makes the entire company vulnerable.
Market positioning
A lot of companies, MeatX included, don't understand market positioning. It is the starting point for selling, and requires you to decide what kind of player you want to be in the marketplace. After that, you create logos, websites and other promotables to support this niche.
Example No. 1: If you want to supply upscale stores, you won't pack apples rattling around in plain brown boxes. That's the dollar-store market position: Look cheap.
Example No. 2: If you want to sell to an upscale store, put a special neck tag on your asparagus with a quick-response code back to the family farm story. Customers of upscale stores care about stuff like that.
If you have a unique feature some consumers care about, your best market position is selling where those folks shop and telling them about your feature. That's how you cash in on the feature.
MeatX wants to be appreciated for its humane, innovative, socially responsible methods of processing its winged animal into meat. It was truly a pioneer at it and deserves kudos.
It could score huge points with consumers for its sustainability story — and the healthfulness of its products, commitment to inner-city revitalization and staggering growth at the expense of "big guys."
But to date, MeatX has chosen the invisible position in the marketplace, a.k.a. private label. Those private labels are paying the bills nicely today, and they're planted firmly and anonymously on MeatX's price and service.

Mad Men Season 5 Episode 5 recap
Every week, Chris Piascik (@chrispiascik) illustrates his favorite quotation from the episode, and I write up a recap.
"Everyone in this office has wanted to do that to Pete Campbell." First of all, this episode's historic references: The title of the episode, Signal 30, comes from a 1959 Driver's Education movie with mangled cars and bodies. Pleasant film. On July 30th, 1966 England beat West Germany 4-2 in the finals of the World Cup. In overtime, England's was awarded a goal on a ball that hit the crossbar and shot straight down. This was controversial. On August 6, Braniff Flight 250 crashed in Nebraska. On August 1st, Charles Whitman killed 16 people and injured 32 more, in an incident at the University of Texas. I'm not sure if there's more references than usual this year or if I'm relying on them as a way to start the recaps.
-Don continues to be in the background as other characters' story lines are highlighted. This episode it was mostly Pete and Lane with a little Ken/Ben Hargrove/Dave Algonquin. Not shocking for Don? He didn't want to go to Pete and Trudi's. Shocking for Don, he grinned like an idiot at baby Tammy Campbell and then told Megan he wanted to make a baby. He's in a great place, seemingly, and Pete resents him. In the first or second episode, I wrote about how Pete and Don had traded places, and that theme was addressed again tonight with the dinner party in the suburb and the visit to the brothel. The cab ride was also a good contrast between them. "Roger is miserable, I didn't think you were." "You don't get another chance at what you have." "And if I had met her first I wouldn't have thrown it away." Pete is ruffled, drunk, and embarrassed. Don is together. This exact contrast happens again at the end of the episode in the elevator. Pete's beat up and lost, "I have nothing, Don." Despite not being a central part of the episode, Don did have some great lines."She got this far on subterfuge. "Saturday night in the suburbs, that's when you really want blow your brains out." "It's too bad your husband can't close a deal like this." "I'm timing this for when we arrive. I want to hit the doorbell with my chin." "No one grows up wanting to be in advertising." "I'm too drunk for you to drive.""Let's make a baby."
-This season, also, Don talks more about his past, to brothel proprietors: "I grew up in a place like this," and to dinner party companions: "You miss the horseshit, huh?" There was a bit of this earlier in the season, too. I liked the interaction between Don and the madame. He definitely looked totally comfortable.
-Pete Campbell, Pete Campbell, Pete Campbell. He's so reviled a character, I find myself feeling sympathetic towards him. Creepy Pete in a high school driver's education class hitting on a senior. Smug Pete mocking Lane. Clumsy Pete making the sink worse. Arrogant Pete testing out a prostitute's talents. Deflated Pete riding down an elevator with Don. For the second time this season, he was threatened with violence from one of the partners, and this time there was no way for him to weasel his way out of it. I used 'weasel' in that previous sentence because that's how Mad Men recaps are supposed to talk about Pete Campbell. Can't be avoided. His driving classes were predicted at the beginning of the season while on the train. His seatmate mentioned taking later and later trains and also driving back and forth as well. The dripping sink, obviously, is a metaphor for Pete's current status. He's being driven mad at home, and to a certain extent, at work, too. He thought he had fixed it, but he'd made it worse, and Don had to put it back together again. I guess this shows some jealousy or envy of Don by Pete. Does Don have what Pete wants? Is Pete jealous that Don put his past life behind him and recreated himself? What are Pete's passions besides dancing the Charleston? If he could recreate himself, who would he be? Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.
-Cos Cob, CT. "No bakeries, no Greenbergs..." Oh, Trudi.
-Befitting the title of the episode, there were lots of driving references: The driver's ed classes, Megan telling Don he was driving to Pete's, Don doodling a noose next to the note 'Traffic Meeting', Megan driving home, Pete telling the cab driver he'll have to drive him to Cos Cob, CT (about 30 miles outside the city). Where are we going?
-"Then, pretend I shall." Well done, Lane, NOW you can be American. Or at least the Mad Men version of an American. Lane and his wife went to the pub to watch the World Cup finals with other British people. While there, he gets a chance at the Jaguar account. He wants to pretend to be an account man, but he's terrible at it. He has trouble relating to everyone, actually, and that's no recipe for sales. "Cooper speaks British." "You're a grimy little pimp." I think Lane thought the Jaguar account would be something that was his only, which explains his anger at losing it, but the fight... I guess he'd been bottled up forever and he just needed to pop. Riveting analysis right there, huh? Well, remember how Cynthia said Ken predicted the Texas sniper with his story about the robot killing all the commuters? Why did he do it? "Because he's a robot..." Maybe Lane snapped after one last insult from Pete and was tired of being a robot? So you can tie the sniper to Lane. You like that better? "If they try to make you feel different than them, you are. That's a good way to be." "I just seem to find no end to my humiliation today." Or ever my friend, or ever. Don't be the guy caught with chewing gum on his pubis.
-Ken's writing still, and has written enough to collect 20 stories and meet a wife. I don't remember the story that he had published (season 3?) being science fictiony, though. Incidentally, Kurt Vonnegut worked early in his career in public relations, which is almost advertising. I'm not sure why, but I don't think Pete was the one who told Roger about Ken's writing. It doesn't seem like Pete is on good enough terms with Roger to even bring it up. It's not going to stop Ken, though, he's just going to kill Ben Hargrove. And the pact with Peggy. Was that new? "If I go anywhere, you go with me." I'd like to know more about this pact.
-I don't think we'd ever really seen Roger showing ANY type of knowledge about business, so it was refreshing to see his 'how to'. An account man who can tell creative exactly what to put in the RFP would certainly be valuable, and Roger must have been deft at collecting this information during dinners past. Roger explained to Lane how to get the other party to open up, to connect on a level outside of business, but Lane just couldn't do it. He was thwarted over and over. "Just let him talk." "Then you're in a conspiracy. The basis of a "friendship"." I also liked, "Be nice to the waiter." This was Roger at his finest, just as him comparing his writing to Ken's was him at his lowest. "When this job is good it satisfies every need. Believe me, I remember." I'm not totally sure you do, Rog.
-"You don't stop a war before an election." Bert's political advice was prompted by Don saying something about Johnson ending the war before the election. Kind of strange they'd be talking about the election 2 years before it happened. What is this, now? Were presidential elections always 3 years long?
-I think the last thing to talk about is turbulence and violent change which has been a theme throughout the entire season. Pete's driver's ed Lolita was talking about this week, "Things seem so random all of a sudden and time feels like it's speeding up." She was talking about how her parents might not let her go to college because of the violence (she mentioned the sniper and the Chicago nurses from last week). Maybe Don's not been too much in the lead this season because his life is not currently in upheaval. I've never really thought about violent change as an overarching theme for the show, but I'll have to consider it more. It's definitely being highlighted weekly this year, though. Also, Pete, stop being a creep.
What did I miss?

Operators Of Chinese Restaurant In Jacksonville Plead Guilty To Harboring Illegal Aliens
Jacksonville, Florida - U.S. Attorney Robert E. O'Neill announced yesterday that Su Yong Lin (38) and Qing Guo (37), both of Jacksonville, Florida, pled guilty to the offense of harboring aliens who were unlawfully present in the United States. Both face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A sentencing date has not yet been scheduled. Lin and Guo were arrested on June 29, 2011.
According to the facts admitted by Lin and Guo, the aliens worked at China Super Buffet, a restaurant located on Dunn Avenue in Jacksonville and operated by Lin and Guo. Over a period of about a year, investigators observed Lin, Guo, and others drive workers between Lin and Guo's personal residence and the restaurant, at the beginning and end of work days.
On June 29, 2011, search warrants were executed at the residence and restaurant, at which time several individuals who were unlawfully present in the United States were discovered. During interviews with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents, the workers said that they were paid in cash and that Lin and Guo had never asked about their immigration status and had never asked them to fill out the paperwork required by law to demonstrate legal authorization to work in the United States.
Lin and Guo did not report any paid workers' wages to government authorities. Nor did they pay unemployment taxes, withholding taxes, or other required payments for the workers' wages.
This case was investigated by the Jacksonville office of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Arnold B. Corsmeier.
