Al Qaeda in Iraq claims massacre at Christian church in Baghdad
The Islamic State of Iraq, al Qaeda's front organization, claimed credit for last night's massacre at a Baghdad church that killed 52 Iraqis. Al Qaeda stated that the attack at the church was launched to avenge the treatment of Muslim women in Egypt.
Al Qaeda fighters armed with suicide vests, assault rifles, and hand grenades, and wearing uniforms of a local security company, attacked the nearby stock exchange, wounding two security guards. The attack on the exchange appeared to be a feint designed to lure security forces to the area while a squad estimated at between five to eight terrorists stormed the Our Lady of Deliverance church and took 120 Christians hostage, according to the Associated Press.
Two hours later, after cordoning off the church, Iraqi security forces stormed the church, sparking a gunbattle that resulted in 52 Iraqis killed and 67 wounded. Two priests,10 Iraqi policemen, and the entire suicide squad were killed during the battle, according to reports. At least 30 of the people were killed when one of the al Qaeda terrorists either detonated his vest or lobbed hand grenades at the Christian hostages being held in the basement.
Five terrorists, including one with "an Arab nationality," or a non-Iraqi, were captured, the spokesman of the Baghdad Operational Command told Voice of Iraq.
Investigators later found "three Yemeni and two Egyptian passports thought to have belonged to the suicide bombers" at the church, an Iraqi official told The Washington Post.
Al Qaeda released a statement on the Internet claiming the attack.
"Upon guidance issued by the Ministry of War in the Islamic State of Iraq in support for our downtrodden Muslim sisters that are held captive in the Muslim land of Egypt and after accurate planning and selection, an angry group of righteous jihadists attacked a filthy den of polytheism," according to the statement, which was obtained by The Long War Journal. "This den has been frequently used by the Christians of Iraq to fight Islam and support those who are fighting it. With the grace of God, the group was able to hold captive all those in the den and take over all its entrances."
Based on the statement, it appears that al Qaeda in Iraq had hoped to hold the Christians in Baghdad hostage for at least two days, as a deadline for "the release" of Egyptian women supposedly being held in Coptic churches in Egypt was issued.
"The mujahidin in the Islamic State of Iraq give Egypt's Christian and belligerent Church as well as its chief of infidelity a 48-hour ultimatum to disclose the status of our sisters in religion, who are held captive in Egypt's monasteries of infidelity and churches of polytheism," al Qaeda demanded. "The mujahidin further demand the release of all of them together with an announcement of the release via a media outlet that the mujahidin can access within the deadline."
Al Qaeda said that if the demands were not met, "the lions of monotheism [al Qaeda's fighters], who wore their explosive belts, will not hesitate to kill the militant Iraqi Christian captives."
Al Qaeda in Iraq also threatened to carry out attacks against Christian churches across the globe.
"Afterwards, various attacks will be launched against them inside and outside this country, in which their lands will be destroyed, their strength will be undermined, and they will be afflicted by the humiliation that God ordained for them," al Qaeda said.
The attack in Baghdad took place just three days after an al Qaeda in Iraq suicide bomber killed 21 people and wounded 65 more in an attack on a cafe in the town of Balad Ruz in Diyala province. Shia Kurds were the target of the attack, which was the first major attack in Iraq more than a month.
Background on the state of al Qaeda in Iraq
In early June, the US military claimed that al Qaeda in Iraq's leadership had been dealt a near-fatal blow during a series of raids since the beginning of the year that had culminated in the deaths of the terror group's top two leaders.
"Over the last 90 days or so, we've either picked up or killed 34 out of the top 42 al Qaeda in Iraq leaders," General Ray Odierno, the commander of US Forces - Iraq, told reporters during a Pentagon press briefing in early June. "They're clearly now attempting to reorganize themselves .... They're struggling a little bit. They've broken -- they've lost connection with AQSL [al Qaeda Senior Leadership] in Pakistan and Afghanistan."
But al Qaeda in Iraq, while unable to hold territory and directly threaten the Iraqi state, has been able to reorganize and launch high-profile terror attacks against the Iraqi security forces and government institutions. The attacks are far less frequent, however, and have failed to threaten the Iraqi state.
The recent attacks are being directed by Nasser al Din Allah Abu Suleiman, al Qaeda's new 'war minister' for Iraq. Suleiman was appointed in May after his predecessor, Abu Ayyub al Masri, was killed in a US raid along with Abu Omar al Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State of Iraq. Also in May, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi al Hussieni al Qurshi was named the new emir of the Islamic State of Iraq, and Abu Abdullah al Hussieni al Qurshi, was named the deputy emir.
Al Qaeda in Iraq is supported primarily through its networks in eastern Syria. Last year, al Qaeda's central leadership based in Pakistan reportedly sent a senior ideologue to Syria to partner with a dangerous operative who ran the network that funnels foreign fighters, cash, and weapons into western Iraq. Sheikh Issa al Masri is thought to have left Pakistan's tribal agency of North Waziristan and entered Syria in June 2009, where he paired up with Abu Khalaf, a senior al Qaeda operative who had been instrumental in reviving al Qaeda in Iraq's network in eastern Syria and directing terror operations in Iraq, a US intelligence official told The Long War Journal.
Although the US killed Abu Khalaf during a Jan. 22 raid in the northern city of Mosul, Sheikh Issa is alive and is believed to be based in Damascus and is protected by the Mukhabarat, Syria's secret intelligence service.

Muslim woman are mistreated in Egypt? So let's kill some innocent Christians in Iraq? What the hell?
Twisted insane lunatics!
Posted by David Eliezer at November 1, 2010 8:32 PM ET:
And Egypt is a Muslim country, this is the most bizarre paranoia I have ever heard from them. In reality, the Copts are oppressed and murdered almost continually over there, I've even met a few over here who've told me some stories. This must be what it is like to live near the KKK, if you are the wrong color...
Posted by SAN JUAN JOHN at November 1, 2010 9:21 PM ET:
Just curious why we, or others, don't covertly take out someone like Sheikh Issa in Damascus. Despite being protected by their secret police. Over time, people fall into a normal pattern of activity. It would seem to me easy. Maybe I'm naive, too many James Bond movies...? Can anyone advise?
Posted by Henrik at November 2, 2010 4:46 AM ET:
aQ is pointing to the coptic girls who are abducted by islamists, raped, forcibly converted to islam and married off to islamists. Some manage to flee from their muslim caports, and some of those see refuge in coptic churches.
It is these, whom aQ want to "liberate".

I read in several news stories yesterday that this was actually a robbery gone wrong?
Can anyone shed more light on this?
It would seem to me this might explain the ferocity and anger demonstrated by the attackers and witnessed by survivors from the Church, and perhaps now Al Qaeda are simply cashing in their losses and claiming a propaganda victory?
Although it did seem strange to me that anyone would wear a suicide vest to rob a bank!

Henrik: Thanks for the insight. I had no idea what a coptic girl or what the Coptic church was. It just amazes me that these types of acts are not completely clamped down on by Governments and within the Islamist faiths. Here is an older article about what you had stated:

See Bat Ye'or's book "The Decline of Eastern Christianity: From Jihad to Dhimmitude" for a historical context for this massacre and others before it.

Terrorists ARE criminals and incorrigible ones at that. As a matter of fact, it wouldn't surprise me at all that most terrorists started their "careers" (if you can call it that) as small time criminals (example: Adam Gadahne and I forget the name of that small time thug they caught years ago in Chicago). Especially the ones with western names and claimed to have "converted" to Islam.

Costa Rican Attorney General Francisco Dall'Anese Ruiz to lead commission
Commission created by U.N. to investigate corruption, violence in
Previous head resigned, citing lack of Guatemalan reform effort
Dall'Anese is experienced in fight against corruption and drugs, U.N. says
(CNN) -- Costa Rican Attorney General Francisco Dall'Anese Ruiz was named
the new head of the International Commission Against Impunity in
Guatemala, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced Wednesday.
Dall'Anese will replace Carlos Castresana, who earlier this month
announced his resignation because he felt Guatemala had not made enough
reforms to its justice system. Castresana also said that he and his
agency, known by its Spanish initials CICIG, had become the targets of
disinformation campaigns.
There was nothing more he could do for Guatemala, Castresana said when he
announced he was leaving.
His successor is known for his fight against drug trafficking, U.N.
spokesman Farhan Haq said.
Dall'Anese is experienced in the fight against corruption and drug
trafficking responsible for the high levels of insecurity in Central
America, a U.N. statement said.
The United Nations established the International Commission Against
Impunity in Guatemala in 2006 to investigate corruption and political
violence. More than 200,000 people have been killed in the nation since
1970, mostly as a result of organized crime, drug-trade violence and a
36-year civil war that ended in 1996.
There were 6,451 slayings in Guatemala in 2009, in which 230 verdicts were
achieved, Castresana said. That means, he said, that more than 96 percent
of the killings last year were not solved.

We have friends that have encouraged us to consider a play pool with 6 feet in the middle. We would like to be able to play volleyball. We are going to have a slide, no diving board. We have 3 kids ages 14 11 and 7 and can't decide what depth should look like...Also considering 3 6 going to 6 in the deep end. Any thoughts/advice??? Thank you! Heidi |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi hrunnergirl, we're just getting started and have opted to go with a traditional 3' to 8' depth. Some of our neighbors have the more shallow type pools (to 6') but we opted for the deeper deep end b/c we will have a lot of kids playing in the pool and want them to have the option to dive safely. I know we could keep our now 4-year old from diving for some years to come, but you never know so we're playing it safe. (Also, I like to dive every now and again!) good luck with your decisions - there are SO many! |
For the play pool option, 6' in the middle is deeper than normal (from what I've read), might want to consider 5'6" max. For the traditional shallow to deep pool, my pool is 4' to 6' over 36' in length. You need to consider the bottom slope over distance as you try to maximize either the deep or shallow end area. Finally, this will depend on the area and homeowner's insurance, but you should check rates with & without slides and/or diving boards. In my area some insurance companies have threatened to cancel the policy if the diving board wasn't removed (bizarrely, rocks to jump off seem OK). Something to check on before committing. |

He completed his internship at St. Joseph's Hospital in Philadelphia and his Emergency Medicine residency at Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center in the Bronx, where he served as chief resident. In this Article
How is Peyronie's disease diagnosed?The patient's history of pain with erections and/or sex and the physical examination of the penis that shows abnormal angulation of the penile shaft or the presence of plaque or scarring felt or palpated in the penis is usually the basis for diagnosis. Urologists are specialists that usually diagnose and treat this disease. There are no definitive blood tests for this disease, although a human cell antigen, HLA-B7 has been associated with the disease. In general no additional tests are necessary , but ultrasound techniques, when accompanied by an injection of drug into the penis (intercavernous injection) can help show the doctor where and how extensive is the scarring, and aid the doctor in determining treatments. How is Peyronie's disease treated?
Comment on this
There is no treatment that will cure Peyronie's disease. However, there are several types of treatments that are designed to reduce the symptoms of the disease. Oral therapy with vitamin E, colchicine, PABA, tamoxifen, and other medications have been tried with limited success in some patients. Usually those in the acute phase of the disease responded best. Injection therapy using combinations of drugs mentioned above and adding prostaglandin E1 or other drugs such as betamethasone alone or with hyaluronidase have also been used with varying degree of success. Verapamil (Calan, Verelan, Verelan PM, Isoptin, Isoptin SR, Covera-HS [a medication usually used for high blod pressure treatment]) appears to disrupt the production of a protein involved in the formation of Peyronie's disease. Another method is iontophoresis (also termed electromotive administration or EMDA) where verapamil and other drugs are applied to the penile skin and pushed through the skin with a low electrical current. Shockwave therapy (done with a lithotripter device like those used to break up kidney stones) has been used on plaque or scaring that is calcified. Other mechanical devices, including vacuum-based machines and low-dose radiotherapy have been tried. Although some successes are seen with these methods, best results are in acute phase patients. There are ongoing studies with different drugs (interferon, collagenase clostridium histolyticum [Xiaflex], collagenase) and surgical techniques. Surgical therapy is done on some patients. These surgical patients usually have to meet criteria that may vary from surgeon to surgeon. In general, surgical therapy is done when other methods have failed or the patient is in the chronic stage of the disease and erectile dysfunction is part of the patient's symptoms. Surgical therapy may involve incision or cutting the scarred tissue, scar tissue removal, scar tissue removal with auto-grafting or artificial graft material. In addition, implanted devices that allow the patient to sustain an erection are also utilized in some individuals.

MS FrontPage, the program we've used since the site was first home-designed by Keith Pritchard, was discontinued some years ago and won't even work on our latest desktop.

Pathways is a gathering place for progressive thinkers in the Christian faith tradition. At Pathways, critical Biblical scholarship, unhindered interpretation, and exploration of the practical application and relevance of scriptures is the norm. Pathways affirms the good news to be found and followed in the way of life expressed by Jesus, the Galilean spirit-sage.
Pathways is a different kind of church. Conventionally-speaking it's a non-church. It is a faith community comprised of those for whom institutional religion and the burdens of infrastructure can sometimes be more of an encumbrance to God's Grace, than a channel of Grace. There are different paths for different people. At Pathways, there is no required creed or confession of faith to which one must ascribe.
Pathways is inclusive, where anyone and everyone is welcome. More so, Pathways is not exclusive. One can be a part of Pathways, and still belong to any other faith community where one might find deep and meaningful ways to understand and live out one's faith in the world.
Pathways is a church without buildings, big budgets or ecclesiastical hierarchy. It costs nothing but an open heart and mind to belong to Pathways.
At Pathways, the worship experience is structured in an informal framework. Prayer is less about asking, and more about listening, remembering, offering and responding. Music is accessible and participatory.
Pathways fosters personal spiritual growth, in order to equip and encourage participants to serve the larger community with charitable acts for the common good. Pathways links people with projects, instead of duplicating the efforts of other dedicated organizations.
Pathways is a volunteer-based organization, which operates with minimal financial expenditure. With over thirty years experience in non-profit and ordained ministries, John Bennison contributes his leadership to Pathways (see http://www.wordsnways.com).
Pathways is an incorporated non-profit religious organization in the state of California.

Washington County senior Joe Joe Simms has picked up the Player of the Year award for Kentucky 2A District 4 football from the Kentucky Football Coaches Association. According to KFCA executive director Jimmie Reed, the coaches in each district vote on a coach of the year and a player of the year for their district.
"It's a great honor but I owe it to my teammates; my linemen, backs and receivers," said Simms. "I also have to thank the coaching staff."

There are so many things happening around the holidays that we often times get carried away and overwhelmed with our own world and forget about those in need. Unfortunately, some families and individuals in Kentucky do not know where their next meal is coming from, much less Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Since the holidays are a time of giving, those of us that can, should take time from our busy lives to share our blessings with Kentuckians in need this holiday season.
Perhaps the last garden chore of the season is tucking in the strawberry planting for winter. Strawberry plants have already set their buds for next spring's flowers and the crop can be lost unless you protect them from harsh winter conditions. A fully dormant strawberry plant's flower buds can be damaged at temperatures below 15 deg. F.
In addition to flower bud damage, the alternate freezing and thawing of the soil that commonly occurs in winter and early spring can cause plant roots to break and the plants to be heaved right out of the ground.

10 Very Interesting People (VIP) in Data Mining
During 2009 I was impressed and influenced by a lot of people in the data mining field. Among them, I have retained 10 data miners which I think made an impressive work in 2009. This work may be raising interesting discussions, proposing solutions, promoting data mining, etc. I have also added, when known, their website/blog and Twitter account. Note that this list is completely subjective and has no specific order:
- Gregory Piatetsky: Author of the most popular newsletter in the data mining community, he has recently updated his website with new content. You can now subscribe with RSS and you can find KDnuggets on Twitter. Gregory does an amazing job in collecting data mining related information, analyzing it and distributing it to data miners (website, twitter).
- Bruce Ratner: He is author and his website contains several articles about data mining. He has recently been very active on social networks such as LinkedIn (website).
- Ajay Ohri: I think this is the most active blogger in the data mining field. He is very active on many social networks and has an excellent collection of interviews with key people in data mining and related fields (blog, twitter).
- Vincent Granville: As the creator of AnalyticBridge, Vincent has made a great job in building a community of people specialized in analytics fields. His network links more than 6600 members. So, it's time to subscribe! (website, twitter).
- Matthew Hurst: He is the author of the very famous blog "Data Mining: Text Mining, Visualization and Social Media". He is very active on his blog on topics such as social media and data mining the blogosphere (blog, twitter).
- Dean Abbott & Will Dwinnell: I put them together since they are co-bloggers. Abbott's Analytics is an excellent blog (one of my favorite) related to data mining. When reading the posts, you can really feel the experience of the authors (blog).
- Greg Linden: His famous blog – Geeking with Greg – is well known for a while now. He writes very informative posts about personalization related topics (blog).
- Matt Cuts: He mainly writes about Google stuffs and SEO. However, he is also well know in the data mining world since several posts are directly or indirectly related to this field (blog).
- Themos Kalafatis: He writes a lot about text mining (social network mining, etc.) and his posts are very practical. It is always a pleasure to read his blog (blog, twitter).
- Randall Matignon: He is the author of very comprehensive books on SAS Enterprise Miner. You can find all information about his books on his webpage (website).
If you have been impressed by other people in the field of data mining, feel free to comment this post.

Sandro Thanks for the add on the list. I think that each and every one of us -including you of course- are sharing a different content and point of views which allows people to get to know more about Data Mining and Analytics. Keep up the great work..
Interesting, see also Data Mining: Top 10 Search Keywords in Google http://mydatamine.com/?p=139
That's an interesting list of people. Here are a couple more ideas for VIP data miners:
— Usama Fayyad — here's an old bio from 2009: http://fayyad.com/
— Bharat Rao — here's an old bio from 2006: http://www.redhotcurry.com/usa/news/2006/siemens_inventor.htm

Some excellent street trial clips from Dominik Raab. With a little bit of Neil Young as the cherry on the sundae.

This video is killer. Ever thought riding your bike at a time trial pace, for 24 hours? Neither have I. And you thought you had the bike affliction bad? These guys can't get enough! They accomplished over 400 miles in that time. That's a lot in my opinion. From Rapha.

If you haven't already seen this video, it is awesome. It's gone viral evidently. It's gotten 36,000 views in about a day. It just goes to show you, it's not your bike that's holding you back, it's you. This thing is so tough too!

That last Chris Akrigg video made me think of this one. I think it's really well done, and easy to watch. Looks like a lot of fun riding. The town looks really pretty too. For some reason, my favorite part is when he shoots through the stream. Pretty sweet.

You can't keep a good man down. Chris is back in the saddle, after falling off a cliff and shattering his leg, among other injuries. This is a great video. It illustrates that if bicycling is truly your passion, it's hard to see your life without it, regardless of setbacks.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Yago!
Facts about Yago
- Breed: Husky/Australian Kelpie Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
- ID#: Brother Wolfe Rescue
Yago's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Yago and siblings are lucky to be here . They were taken from a bad situation and are now with Brother Wolfe rescue in Asheville, NC.. Please consider giving these little guys their forever home. . Socialized with other dogs , cats and kids. They also used a pet door and are almost potty trained. Contact "firstname.lastname@example.com "; on how to meet them .
Other Pets at Friends of Lincoln County Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Yago, a Lincolnton Husky/Australian Kelpie puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Husky/Australian Kelpie for sale in Lincolnton, or seeking a Husky/Australian Kelpie puppy from a breeder in Lincolnton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lincolnton 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 Lincolnton 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 Husky/Australian Kelpie breeders who help with Husky/Australian Kelpie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lincolnton paves the way for another one to be saved.

0Dec 31, '11 by MenelopeQuote from CJ223ooops... the other one had 2011 instead of 2012... let's try this again:
Just thought I would start a new thread for the current application cycle. Questions... stats... rumors... etc!
My question is... for those applying this cycle, how did you do on the TEAS V? Since this is the first year they are using this test, it would be nice to see how everyone is doing.
(Please don't post TEAS 3 or TEAS 4 results, as the scores are NOT comparable with the TEAS V.)
I am applying to bridge in to finish my RN. I am currently working as an LPN. I don't know what my GPA is yet since they need to configure it once my transcripts get to the school. My A&P I grade was an A, and my TEAS V score was 85.3%. I'm really hoping to get accepted, but once I do I have to wait until my "class" gets to the second year, then I'll join in to finish the last two semesters with them. -
0Dec 31, '11 by allforthekiddsI took the teas v 3 times, 70's my first 2 tries and 81.3 on my third try. My gpa is 3.96 and got an A in A&P. I applied to NVCC and BHSN. I would be ecstatic to get into either, but I heard a lot of good things about BHSN.
0Jan 26, '12 by RooskenatorFYI, I was waitlisted last year at GWCC with an 85.6 on the old version, an A in A&P I and a 3.05 (the GPA killed me)... But I was #126 on the waitlist, so people must have REALLY had some impressive stats. And I know quite a few people who got significantly higher than an 83, so it's not a myth.
Took a LOT of classes to increase my GPA, studied my arse off for the TEAS and got an 87.3 on the new version (since last year, I've had A&PII, Micro & Chem, taken a math review course & all of that helped tremendously.)
I have a close friend who did not get into the CC program (NVCC), but got into Yale's GEPN program. The CC's are insanely competitive (and from what I hear, GREAT programs). I agree to apply to other schools.
I hope this year is my year! Good luck to everyone -
0Feb 13, '12 by saramisuI have applied for the 2012 school year, this has to be THE LONGEST wait ever. My GPA is a 3.97, TEAS V was an 83.3 (took it a few times, couldn't budge from this) and AP was an A. Hoping everything got in as planned, and that this time won't drag on so slowly. Capital is first choice, three rivers second. Good luck, you guys!
0Feb 22, '12 by mssjezI also applied to begin in Fall 2012 with CCC as my first choice and NVCC as my second. My grade in A&P1 was A-, my Teas V score was 88.7%. My GPA is tricky. I have a Bachelor's and a Master's. The last 5 years of classes only goes to the Spring semester of my third year in the BA program. So averaging my Master, the pre-reqs I've done at CCC, and the year or so of classes from my BA plus pre-reqs for the program that were done before 2007 should put me around 3.7, I think. This should put my rank as a 91/100 if I'm doing it right. I did hear from my professor that CCC had about 400 applicants for the program this year and only have 160 spots. I'm freaking out a little bit. Anyone hear anything else?
0Feb 24, '12 by RooskenatorYes, freaking out. But there's no way to guess your rank without knowing what other people are applying wtih. And those are pretty good stats, did you mean one of the first 9 spots or last? I'd think that'll be toward the top third of applicants, not the bottom. I think you have a pretty good chance, so try not to freak out just yet Yes, WAY easier said than done. Last year people had NGPAs and course grades listed the first week of March, so we don't have too much longer to see how they calculated everything. I'm freaking out as much as you, I just want to know how they calculate my NGPA. Our stuff is pretty similar, A in A&PI, 87.3 TEAS V, and I THINK 3.65 GPA the way they calculate it. I totally should've replaced my math with a lower math and got an A in it & I'd have a much better shot. Kinda kicking myself in the arse right now for that :/
0Feb 24, '12 by saramisuDid anyone take any pre-reqs from outside the CT Comm. Colleges? I took my comp class at St.Joe's, and was told it'd transfer in just fine, but I'm still waiting for it to say "met" under my application status. Although, they just posted today that they'd received all my transcripts, so 1/3 of the battle of the application process is won! Now just need to wait for the English class to post, which I would imagine would come soon since it seems like they're making some progress now, and then I need to know if I got in. This is absolutely nerve wracking. I've never wanted so quickly for time to move faster, ever!
0Feb 24, '12 by mssjez@Rooskenator
We do have similar stats, I think we have a good chance. You asked a question about "And those are pretty good stats, did you mean one of the first 9 spots or last?" I think you were referring to my 91/100 rank. As far as I've heard other people talk about rank, it is determined by each of the components to be a percentage like a test score... so my rank would by 91% and the top scores are the 75% accepted by rank. I'm not completely sure on this. But I'm not sure how they rank the A&P score because it isn't a number, it's a letter grade. Also, a friend of my was talking to a counselor at Capital and he said that while there were that many applicants, some of the people who applied did so as a "hail mary" just to see if they get in. He also said that there were applicants with the bare minimum requirements for GPA, Teas, and A&P grades. That makes me feel a little better but I"m still anxious and this is the longest wait ever!
I took many of my pre-reqs at ECSU: computer, math, english, psych, lifespan development, and the elective. The only courses I took at a CT Comm. College were Bio, Chem, A&P I and II, and now I am taking Micro as well. When I met with the counselor he said all of my previous courses would transfer. The only one he wasn't sure about was the lifespan class because it was at Southern and a Master's level. But he said I had quite a few psych classes and that they may be able to combine them to meet the course objective. We will see. My transcripts also listed as received just this week. -
0Feb 24, '12 by Rooskenatormssjez- ahhhhhh, i see said the blind man i was thinking you had a better shot than that! lol. i will keep my fingers crossed for you! i'm glad they changed it to 75% rank, 25% lotto this year, hopefully that helps.
saramisu- i took a lot of classes outside the cc system & every single one of them transferred in. i was told that as long as the school has regional accreditation, it transfers in just fine. i'll be shocked if your classes from st joe's don't transfer.
did both of your transcripts show up on the rn app status page today or somewhere else? if the rn app status page, are your last names at the beginning of the alphabet? -
0Feb 24, '12 by saramisumine FINALLY showed up. Holy crap was that a relief. They showed up today, and I'm an "S" (dang it, just got married six months ago - - cursing my husband right now!!) @mssjez - did your pre-reqs from the other schools show up as met as well? NOt the acutal transcripts but the listed classes? I would be surprised too if the SJC english class didn't take - it transferred into MxCC as COMP 101, so it would only make sense, but I would feel a whole lot better to see that red "met".

The CTO of Adobe has spoken out on the bad press that Flash has received recently, the latest issue being the dramatic drop in battery life observed when Flash was installed on the 2010 MacBook Air versus uninstalled. Kevin Lynch, in an interview with FastCompany, was not happy with Apple's negative campaigning towards Flash and suggests that HTML5 would use up just as much, if not more, battery life.
He argues that "When you're displaying content, any technology will use more power to display, versus not displaying content."
The new MacBook Air comes without Flash preinstalled on it, a move that some might say is smart, as Apple has been tagged before for shipping OSX without the latest version of Flash. This enables users, of their own volition, to install the latest version with the newest security updates present. However, some people have viewed it as a move to strategically minimize Flash content on Apple devices in favor of other standards such as HTML5.
So, are we being too hard on Adobe. Well, until a complete comparison is conducted with three MacBook Airs, side-by-side, running identical content (one with Flash, one with HTML5 and a negative control with neither), then it is unclear at the moment what the deal is. Certainly, I've had my fair share of spinning balls with Flash but I haven't sat down and taken note of the amount of times that it has happened with HTML5, or what the load it places on the processor. But I do know that Flash runs Mac processors hard. Very hard. Just listen to the fan on an MBP and you know it's unhappy.
Personally, I think that Flash needs to go somewhere (away, preferably). But, I still have the choice of whether or not to install it on my computer. For mobile devices, let's face it, it's a bad idea. But I can choose to run in on my Mac if I want, and therein lies the root of the matter. If Adobe believes this technology is good enough for my Mac, then that's fair enough.
Convince me.

A disclaimer: I am not new to canning. Been water bath canning over 30 years and pressure canning almost 10 years. I put up well over 500 jars each year. Yesterday I made up some pasta sauce and instead of water bath canning it this year, I decided to pressure can it. Everything is going fine. I took the jars out of the canner and placed them on the counter. Since I was using Tattler lids, I need to tighten the band. First one was okay. The lid of the 2nd one exploded. Nope, not the jar itself, the band, lid & gasket blew off (spewing hot pasta sauce mostly on my left hand and arm). After I rinsed my arm in cold water and soaked in cold aloe vera juice most of the night, I found the band, lid & gasket (on the floor in front of the cabinet where it blew out). I can see no damage to any of the parts. No nicks on the top of the jar. I'm not sure what happened with this bad boy. Perhaps something got lodged between the gasket during processing so that when I tightened the band, the pressue was released (in a BIG HURRY)!? I'm very aware when I'm seating the lids to make sure the rims are clean, that the gasket & lid are seated correctly and that the band is on just finger tight. Any ideas?? My arm this morning. Amazingly, it doesn't hurt at all To add insult to injury, only the jar that I tightened after canning sealed. This morning I water bathed the remaining 5 quarts of pasta sauce as well as 8 pints of stewed tomatoes & 2 pints of tomato sauce. Just took them out of the canner and tightened them all down. Off to prep & process more plums!
Cyndi (and sometimes Paul)Plan for 11th Annual Homesteading Weekend ~ June 2015Our Lessons in Homesteading NW Ill-Annoy USA
Ouch! Please, be very, very careful of infection. That really doesn't look good at all. As for the canning...I've said it before, and I'll say it again...I don't like tattler lids!
Visit my blog at; http://songsfromthehearth.blogspot.c...-insecure.html Our website is www.thequeensblessing.com
Eewwww! Keep a close watch on it for infection. I hope you heal up okay. So glad it wasn't worse!
Oh ow- brave homesteader to keep on a-canning. I've never used those lids so I don't know. Only the obvious- the pressure inside was too great for the lid to hold. I wonder if there might have been an air pocket inside the sauce that was distrubed when you tightened the lid. Once released from the sauce, rose to the top and expanded more due to touching hot glass?
And it puzzle me to learn That tho' a man may be in doubt of what he know Very quickly he will fight He'll fight to prove that what he does not know is so - Oscar Hammerstein
Some one on the survival forum had the same thing happen last month with those tattler lids. i won't use them. That looks like it hurts. Feel better.
Did you back off the ring the 1/4-1/2" after tightening them before you put it in the caner? Tattlers need to be looser then the metal flats while processing and then tightened when they come out. Finger tight is too tight before processing (assuming your definition of "finger tight" and mine are about the same). Like others said, please watch those burn closely....they look nasty enough that they could turn bad quickly. There is no way I'd have the guts to can again the next day, I'd need a few to get over it...your are Superwoman!
Yup, Jen, just finger tight and back off 1/4", then tighten after removing from canner. Where I Want To... I hadn't thought of that. When canning liquids, I don't 'remove air bubbles' There was a lot more headspace in the jars when removing from pressure canner than there was when I put them in (normal). I love my Tattler lids. I've had less failed sealings using Tattlers than when using metal lids. There is no question about keeping on canning today. Produce is piling up! The neighbors have started bringing me their extra maters & peppers. Prepping for plum jam this afternoon and pickled peppers (and hopefully mushrooms) tomorrow. This is no infection & I've covered the area with Tegaderm. There is no pain today.
What a blessing that there is no pain! I bet WIWT has you solution then, I just wasn't sure with your description of what you did if you backed them off. I too LOVE my Tattlers.....but I was afraid to use them with beets, I was thinking they might stain. Have you tried them on beets, yet?
No one here likes beets except for the animals! Tomatoes stain the lids, so I expect beets would also.
A thought might be to use a dish towel when tightening- it might catch the hot liquid before it hits you.
I have a hot pad in each hand when tightening. This afternoon when I tightened up the jars, I did just that ... threw a dish towel over the jar before tightening! Lesson learned!
Oh wow!
I think I've found the answer on the Tattler website:
Ouch! ((hugs)) I am not new to canning either, but am new to the Tattler lids. I have used them successfully in my water bath canning, but after reading about that happening to someone else after pressure canning, I bought more metal lids and will keep those in stock for pressure canning.
Oh wow Cyndi, that looks like it really HURTS! I was going to try some of those Tattler lids, but now I'm too skeeered to! Sounds like they take more fiddling with to make them seal correctly.
The Tattler lids are well worth it, Karla. In the past 3 years I've probably pressured canned about 600-800 jars without a problem (that's not counting water bathed jars!) Just to be on the safer side now, I'll let them sit in the canner for an extra 5-10 minutes before removing and tightening the lids. AND throwing a towel over the jar before tightening them!! You get used to the amount of tightening they need. Tighten the band using very little pressure until it just stops, then back it off 1/4" - 1/2". If your lids bow up during the processing, you're tightening them too much. It doesn't take long to get the hang of how much is enough. I've had a better seal rate using (reusing) Tattlers than using metal lids.
Ouch! Please be careful of infections. It can set it rapidly.
Ouch, I hope you heal fast. Think I to am a skeeered to try those lids.
It's not just leaving a better planet for our children.... It's leaving better children for our planet.
Healing well!
One time of that happening is too many times. Glad to see your getting better.

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A recent Gallup poll shows that 76 percent of Wyoming residents have a great deal or fair amount of trust in their state government.
The percentage is the second-highest among states.
Only North Dakota, at 77 percent had a higher ranking than Wyoming.
The poll's results are based on interviews with at least 600 residents in every state and were conducted between June and December 2013.
Gov. Matt Mead commented that the poll results are a compliment to those in state government and to the Legislature. He says having a citizen Legislature is one of the keys to good state government.

Spartan Post News is the winner of Oklahoma Scholastic Media's 2013 All-Oklahoma and Charles E. "Colonel" Savedge Sweepstakes Award as the best online high school newspaper in the state of Oklahoma.
Sprouted from the previous print version of the Bixby High School newspaper, The Voice of the Spartans, the journalism department strives to empower student journalists to act independently and report accurate, fair and balanced news of the highest quality and value. Stories reflect common news values of the Spartan Post such as impact, immediacy, proximity, prominence and student interest.
The Bixby High School Journalism Department trains students in all aspects of journalism. These skills are reflected in Spartan Post through traditional and multimedia journalism This new form of journalism requires the journalist to be skilled in more than one discipline. As a result Spartan Post staff members work closely with the Broadcasting and Sports Media Arts Production class which produces content for SPN (Spartan Post News), Bixby Spartans TV and Cox Channel 24. SPN is part of the OK Preps network and GameView TV.
Spartan Post and SPN's adviser is Dee Harris, Bixby High School's Director of Communications, Broadcast and Journalism Instruction.
Please address any questions, concerns, feedback, and story ideas to email@example.com.

I quit doing these for a while because people kept saying how they were just so damn tactical that they would never end up in the situation to begin with. My reason for trying this again is to to bring several things up for discussion. Please try to answer the question at hand.
Here is the situation- It is a windy summer night and a serious storm sweeps in. You and your neighbor live a bit off the beaten path. You cannot see your houses through the trees from the road. Your neighbor is on vacation. You are friends, you have keys to the house, you are the back up for the alarm company to call. The chances of anyone breaking into the house are slim except your neighbor has a drug addict son who has a tendency to steal things to sell for drugs.
It is 2 AM and the power is out. The storm is loud. Your phone rings and it is the alarm company that your neighbor uses. They say they have an intrusion alarm on the garage and are dispatching the police.
As you hang up you think about a conversation your had with a local LEO you had earlier in the day about how it was going to suck to work tonight because of how storms always set BS alarms off and they only have five guys working.
You get up and get dressed, grab your pistol and a gun. It is raining sideways. As you look out a window you see the side garage door on your buddy's house is open.
You weather the storm and slosh across the driveways thinking about how this is a PITA. Water is running down your neck, your glasses are spotted with water.
Just as you approach the garage door you detect movement just inside the door. All of a sudden all you can see is a bright white light blazing in your eyes. You cannot see at all what do you do?

CSULB was one of 87 higher education institutions or networks of institutions worldwide selected to participate in a new program that has the goal of improving undergraduate and graduate education through The Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (CASTL).
The CASTL Institutional Leadership Program is a three-year partnership between Carnegie and selected colleges, universities and higher education organizations with a strong commitment to the careful examination of teaching and learning. Participants were selected for their ability to influence education in 12 areas, ranging from assessment and accountability to undergraduate research.
CSULB is working under the program theme "Student Voices in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning." Western Washington University serves as the coordinating institution and the other schools directly involved with this particular theme are Elon University, Illinois State University, North Seattle Community College and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
At a Carnegie convening in November in Washington, D.C. the members of this theme developed the charge: "We commit to engaging students as collaborative partners in improving teaching and learning. We charge ourselves to create models that re-conceptualize learning spaces and roles. We will investigate, expand, share, and reflect upon experiences of learning founded on participation, reciprocity, and trust toward the development of student voices."
"This is really about encouraging students to be more involved in their education," said Betsy Decyk, a lecturer in the departments of philosophy and psychology at CSULB and one of the Carnegie Project campus leaders. "At CSULB we have sponsored student/faculty conversations on collaborative learning and we will be developing other programs as well."
Other CSULB faculty leaders for the project are Terre Allen, director of the Center for Professional Development, Alan Colburn in science education, Julie Rivera in Chicano and Latino studies and Nancy Strow Sheley in English and liberal studies.

Nov 30th 2011 8:31AM Hmmm... All my friends have long left the game yet I'm still here. I don't raid anymore and rarely will you ever find me in a dungeon. I have yet to enter a cataclysm dungeon as a matter of fact.

Mar 26th 2010 10:39AM One of the most quaint little places that I like kicking my boots off is the Black Knight's hideout off the coast of Ice Crown. Nice creature comforts there, a nice warm stove, some furs & snow shoes along with supplies.
In BC, there's a small floating flower garden above firewing point that I like to hang out on. Nice and picturesque. As for Vanilla WoW, Nothing beats the little path just north of Booty Bay that leads up to a nice spot behind a waterfall. As a matter of fact, think I'll just go there now and relax!
In-game models I would change if I could {WoW}
Dec 30th 2009 1:13PM Definitely love the "oven mitts" reference. However I wouldn't limit human males to that little mishap. Most (if not all) of the races suffer from this deformity. Take female Night Elves for example. Just looking at them, you can tell that Blizzard to great care to design them to be as feminine, athletic and nimble as they possibly could. Then you get to their hands. Reminds me of that Sienfeld episode where his girlfriend had "man-hands"!
Another would be bears. Their faces have been frozen in that same snarl since time began. Time for bears to express themselves.
Breakfast Topic: Happy holidays from WoW.com {WoW}
Dec 25th 2009 9:57AM I'll be sending out some Icescale Leg Armor to a rogue that I've been using through out the year to guide me in leveling my own.
Oh, and a rant to Blizzard - Not being able to gift wrap stackable items is complete FAIL!!!
15 Minutes of Fame: Retirement home {WoW}
Dec 22nd 2009 6:26PM Thanks everyone for the kind words and thanks WoW dot Com for the gracious "15 Minutes"!
Coming from a "hardcore" raiding guild I'd just flat out run out of gas. I stopped my raiding at Malygos and decided to take it easy. I'll be honest, I went through a period pondering whether WoW was still the game for me. I bounced in and out of guilds that were advertising "casual raiding" only to find out that I was promptly placed into a secondary group for raiding "casually".
That's when I posted the "Do Raiding Guilds Exist" thread over on the official realm forums.
When I found the Vanguard of Norrath, I was pleasantly surprised that "Retirement Guilds DO EXIST!" We take great pleasure in jumping on and running a dungeon (or three) at the spur of the moment. We don't bother ourselves with spreadsheets, gear websites and the like. We log in for one thing and one thing only - TO HAVE FUN!
And VoN is really good at doing just that!
Finally, I'd like to say, if raiding is your thing, go for it! If you are having fun, tuck the World of Warcraft under your arm and run with it as fast as you can! After all, WoW, with all of it's intricacies is just a game and games are meant to be fun!
Have fun all and I'll see you around that meeting stone!

Ace Attorney movie opinion: Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide I thought it was.... bland, and somewhat goofy! But that what you get when you try to translate a video game to live action to be just like the video game. http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire2/e9c0052b04e310f1c9ab6bd02e340b721350052547_full.jpg The first two/three cases felt way too rushed and didn't get enough exposition of the characters. For the game fans they may don't need it, but for someone who watches the movie without any knowledge of the games will be lost. http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire4/0d1b5071cf99d05003848ecae43e49b21350052205_full.jpg http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire4/7065eeb9031c68dcfdfd2c1e96ca091a1350052232_full.jpg The acting was so and so. Phoenix felt more of an idiot than what he was in the games... especially his stoned face when he sees Maya's spirit next to him. And Mia was bland as well. I can't remember if she even smiled at all. She didn't stand out next to Phoenix and give the witty comments or help that much like the games. And what's the deal with the fox/Tanooki fur? http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/e8eb51141df9073a88978b299046df681350052611_full.jpg The visuals are okay, but since we're mostly stuck at the courts and not enough outdoor investigation scenes we don't get to see a lot. But I guess the best part of the movie was displaying the evidence with the holograms and crazy mechanics. That was over the top and yet awesome at the same time. So... the movie wasn't that great as I hoped for. Maybe if they tried to make an original story then it might be a bit more interested. I give it.... 6.5 out of 10. It tried so hard, but didn't work quite well. |

Region, central Sudan. Lying west of the White Nile River, it was originally inhabited by Nubian-speaking peoples. Controlled by the Christian Tungur dynasty (900–1200 AD), it was later taken by Arabs, and in the 17th century a sultanate was established. Egyptian rule began in the 1820s. The slave trade played an important part in the region's economy until its eradication in 1878 by Charles George Gordon. Egyptian rule was ended by a revolt in 1882 led by al-Mahdi. Kordofan became a province of The Sudan in 1899.

And even if it's a fair offer, I'd still rather have 1 sweet card instead of 8 pretty good ones. Especially for a star like Pujols. jMO

Pretty happy with that, but it doesn't come close to pulling a gold. -Not sure what you collect, but I'd be willing to make a fair offer of real cards for the Cabrera gold if you still have it. I'd basically throw in the Ripken for free to facilitate the electronic end of the trade. In any event, that's awesome you were able to pull two gold cards. Some people enter dozens of codes and don't come close to that.
