The miracle cure of John of God
The miracle cure of John of God
The miracle cure of John of God
Tuesday, April 17, 2012Among the thousands who claim to have been cured by the healer known as "John of God" is Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the popular Brazilian ex-president, now said to be in remission from larynx cancer.
"I am going to cure you," de Faria told one young woman during a session in this small town in the central state of Goias. After going into a trance, he stuck a four-centimetre needle into the sole of her feet.
"Don't look, it's going to hurt," he warned her as he thrust the needle in several times.
The young woman apparently felt nothing and when it was over, the nearly illiterate faith healer flashed a big smile.
His patient, visibly moved, extolled that she had just been cured from a chronic illness which doctors could not treat.
Born on June 24, 1942, de Faria is an adept of spiritism, a religious doctrine based on the belief in the survival of a spirit after death.
Founded in the 19th century by Frenchman Allan Kardec, spiritism today is particularly popular in Brazil, where it has nearly three million followers.
The healer's entourage said de Faria paid several visits to the former president when he was being treated at a Sao Paulo hospital for a larynx cancer.
Lula however has refused to confirm or deny press reports that he met at least three times in Sao Paulo with the healer.
American TV show hostess Oprah has also visited the town to film the crowds who gather around the healer.
"John of God" says he communicates with spirits when he goes into a trance. He diagnoses diseases, prescribes medication and conducts surgeries, either with his hands, or with kitchen knives, scalpels or scissors.
"Since the age of eight, God has given me this energy. I don't heal. God heals," the spiritual healer told AFP during a brief respite.
He receives about 1,000 people a day, three times a week and more than half of them are foreigners.
The ritual is always the same: the faith healer sits in a big armchair, his feet on a cushion. In front of him and in adjacent rooms, several hundred followers and so-called mediums meditate to form an energy circle.
One by one, the patients then parade before de Faria who treats them, gives them instructions or calls them to come back for a surgery or treatment, often in less than a minute.
Miracle man or charlatan?
In one operation, performed without anesthetics, the medium opened up the eye of one patient and began scratching it with a knife, according to Reinaldo Daher, an orthopedic doctor who witnessed the operation.
"You could hear the scraping. The patient did not flinch and he told him: 'You are healed, you can go,'" Daher told AFP.
He fervently believes in the healer's powers. "I have to believe because I have seen it," he said.
But some, particularly in the medical establishment, are wondering whether de Faria is a miracle man or a charlatan.
"We have a major dilemma in Brazil. The constitution guarantees freedom of faith, which makes it difficult to take any actions against illegally practicing medicine or charlatanism," Emmanuel Fortes, audit director of the Brazilian Federal Council of Medicine, told AFP.
He stressed the council warns people against inconsistencies in some practices, as well as those which do not offer any guarantees.
"We do not recommend that patients abandon their traditional medicines and prescribed drugs."
Many of de Faria's patients turn to him as a last resort after being disappointed by mainstream medicine.
Others come seeking jobs or spirituality. And many just come to say thank you.
"All will be received," said a volunteer through a microphone. Instructions and spiritual messages are transmitted in English, French, Spanish, German, Russian and Portuguese.
"I arrived in 2006 with multiple sclerosis diagnosed in 1999. I had been in a wheelchair. And now you can see, I am cured and I can walk. My symptoms are gone," said Marina, a New York-based Russian woman who now comes several times a year to work as a medium and a guide in Abadiania.
For the past 35 years, John has been receiving patients and admirers in this small town where the economy revolves around his healing center.
There are more than 40 inns and dozens of taxis operating shuttle services to and from Brasilia airport.
There is no charge for the treatment. His centre maintains that its income comes from donations, sales of natural remedies and purified water.
But the skepticism from the Brazilian establishment remains.
"Operations in a contaminated environment and unnecessary therapies at religious events are illegal," the vice-president of the Federal Council of Medicine of Brazil, Vital Carlo, told Globo television.

Trending: Spring!
This spring there have been many great new styles for florists to take and interpret into their décor. My favorite trend by far is the vibrant colors and rainbow collections popping up all over!
The best part about this trend is how easy it is to do-it-youself. Simply choose a bright and vibrant color, and incorporate as many different flowers as you can for an instant pop of color.
My prediction for the hottest color this spring… Orange!

TIME's photo editors bring you the best pictures of the past week from the Beltway and beyond.
More Photography from Time
Cognitive dissonance clearly on display by the writer - only a masochist or sadist would ask for more B.O.
Clearly the economy started tanking shortly after Pelosi amp; Reid took control of congress in 2006. The Obama era exacerbated the recession and cause the worst economic recovery on record...now the fruits of this administration's foreign policy failures are becoming clearer.
Mitt's a geek...but a successful and generous geek...with the experience needed by America to free us from the burdensome debt ($375-$450 per month per American by some estimates) that merely snowball's because of the Obama/Pelosi/Reid follies of the last six years.
Clearly the economy started tanking shortly after Pelosi amp; Reid took control of congress in 2006.
A massive housing bubble that began in 2003 and begin busting in early 2006 was the cause of the economy tanking, not a small majority of Democrats in the House.
Try again, gooper.
Pelosi and Reid factions blocked any meaningful reform that could have eased the bubble before it burst. When they gained the upper hand in congress, they proceeded with more proactive legislative goals like increasing the minimum wage and attacked any G.W.B. initiatives to tweak the economy.
Photo #1:
Mitt: If I lose, I just know that Ann is going to beat my bare @ss with a riding crop. I think I'll offer to pay for Jerry Sandusky's appeal.
nfl, some joker at worker put a small sign on our shower at work. It said:
Penn State Shower:
Please leave soap on floor
No, it wasn't me but I got blamed for it.

Mitt: The Boy Scouts represent everything I believed in when I was growing up. Now get out there and forcibly cut some f@g's hair.

PHOENIX -- A Phoenix strip mall was damaged when a fire broke out late Saturday night.
Phoenix Fire Capt. Tony Mure said the strip mall near 31st Avenue and Van Buren Street houses about 10 businesses, but only a few were damaged.
Built-in fire walls and ventilation holes cut by firefighters helped keep the flames from spreading, Mure said.
Rigo's Locksmith appeared to have the most damage.
The entire strip mall lost power.
No injuries were reported.

Great idea, I like it.
I will definitely use this for my RPs, since it's a Forum Based RP I will link back here to give you credit.
With these things said, bon appetite.
This is my favourite line. But, puns aside, I really liked the sub. Cannibalism as the bad guy is recurring, though not enough to be cliched yet. As was said above, I liked that this works for smaller and pettier foes.
However, I would like to note the rather rule-specific bent. I understand where you come from on this one, but it isn't necessarily needed. Most GMs can serve themselves the crunch to fit with your fluff if they have a mind to. In fact, most will need to either to adapt to a different system (Traveller Psionic-Cannibals, anyone?), or to give exact tables and numbers and die-rolls to what is provided.
Forgive me for needling what has already been mentioned more than once, Redgre. I liked the example, too.

We are using GS1 standard messages to exchange messages with customers. I have few doubts which I wanted to clear.
We are using SAP PI 7.1 where we will map GS1 to IDOC like ORDERS05 for all messages. Now basically we want to develop a template solution means provide a GS1 based mappings to customers. Now the customers who are already using GS1 standards can re/use mappings in PI as it is. But now my question is if a customer is not using gS1 and he is using internal format should i map the customer format to GS1 and then to IDOC or as in tradational way map the customer format directly to IDOC. If I use GS1 in middle does it add any performace issue like multimapping in PI. Please suggest from the architecural point of view.

Intrepid Model Adventures was created in part, to support projects and people doing things that we truly believe in. We aspire to be involved in such projects and use our passion to aid them as much as possible, but at the very least we can share them.
The 'A Drawing for Japan Project' is one such project that I have no hesitation to share. For a start it is created by a special friend of mine, and a member of our group, Yves Dalbiez. He was a great inspiration to IMA's very existence, and now an active part of sharing what he believes will help us all.
This project also demonstrates how diverse the action of support can be. IMA has worked extremely hands on and personally in the Tohoku region since the 3.11 disaster, but here we see another way to build hope and strength. We see the compassion of children at such a young age, we see the power of artwork and creativity and hopefully we feel empowered to believe in, and act for, positive change.
Thank you Yves Dalbiez for allowing me to join and share this in this non-profit journey, created through France an Japan and now given to world!
A Drawing for Japan Project – website
Make sure you take the time to see both emotional videos (A Drawing for Japan and Hearts Connection). Also remember that you can donate through this website to the group 'Kids Earth Fund', if your inspired to help this cause.

About Us
Business Insights for the Legal Professional
Launched in 1991 InsideCounsel is the pioneering monthly magazine exclusively serving general counsel and other top in-house legal professionals. Formerly known as Corporate Legal Times, InsideCounsel is the oldest monthly magazine published specifically for in-house counsel. It has a monthly circulation of 40,000 (June 2014 BPA Statement) including chief legal officers, VPs and general counsel.
InsideCounsel's mission is to provide the strategic tools that general counsel need to better manage their legal departments and fully understand the business risks companies face today. The magazine's unique coverage includes benchmarking surveys, examinations of substantive legal issues, regional news and a variety of columns and departments covering such critical areas as litigation, corporate governance, labor and intellectual property.
The magazine also hosts SuperConference, an annual two-day conference in Chicago that attracts the best and brightest general counsel in the country. They attend this event to share ideas and best practices, as well as to expand their knowledge and skill sets.
In addition to the annual SuperConference, InsideCousel's legal suite of events also include the Women, Influence & Power in Law Conference and the Transformative Leadership Awards.
The Women, Influence and Power in Law conference offers a unique opportunity for unprecedented exchange with women outside counsel. This two day conference is not a forum for lawyers to discuss so-called "women's issues." It is a conference for women in-house and outside counsel to discuss current legal topics, bringing their individual experience, perspectives and best practices.
Since 2010, the Transformative Leadership Awards honor general counsel and law firm partners who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing the empowerment of women in corporate law.
Headquartered in New York, InsideCounsel is published by Summit Professional Networks. Summit Professional Networks is the leading B2B media company serving the insurance and investment markets. Through its Media and Reference Divisions, SPN publishes 17 magazines, more than 30 targeted industry Websites, and 150 reference titles.

Aside from last season when he was basically injured all season, Walker has produced everywhere. The only drawback to owning Walker is that he's almost sure to sit a couple games weekly due to advancing age and the health history. But if Walker can avoid getting hurt, he's still one helluva hitter and is an asset. His value increases in any Yahoo league where owners have the ability to start/bench right up till game time.

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:less than 1 day
Pros:Thin material, fits well to my iPad 2, the wake up/sleep function works ok.
Cons:One side of the internal frame comes without glue, so, after I put my iPad, it stay open.
I´ll try to glue it with "super bonder".
Although the problem that I´ll try to fix by myself, the cover looks good.
I already have a similar one witch I used for two years, after that it opened all sides and became a mess.
If I can use this one for other two years, I´m happy. To buy a similar one in Brazil, I have to spend 50% more.
I wish nobody have the same problem I had. It should be a good product, but I don´t have good luck with it.

The Philippine index in its first day of its second month for 2012, ended the day in favor of the bulls.The benchmark index - PSEi closed at 4,715.64; 33.20 points higher from yesterday or 0.71%. The gain was led today by the Financials Index with heavy volume from MBT, SECB, UPB, and BDO all having a trade value more than Php100M with MBT leading at Php363M. On the other hand, EDC was again still the most actively traded stock for the day amounting to Php559M; probably still due to its recent delay with one of its projects - Bacman Rehabilitation.
Our index has once again reached the 4,700 level after it fell last week to 4,500 levels. The difference now is that foreign trade seems to have equalized as of the moment as the net foreign buying posted today was just a mere Php200M; close to what has been posted in the past trading days. This may be due to the continuous uncertainty internationally due from the Eurozone crisis and the U.S.'s economy slowing down. Nevertheless, I think our country will be doing well this year, though this is just my assumption but based on what's happening, politcs, forex exchange stability, low interest rates and our inflation I think we will be having a good year. Of course, this is in the assumption that nothing further negative would happen.
Its the middle of the week now, though we are up in green, it's still too early to conclude that we will end the week under the same note. My suggestion right now, be on the look out on excellent performing companies right now that may have been neglected or out-shined by the others. Always take into account market timing and not timing the market! Happy trading!

Video: A short walk around CeBIT Open Source 2010
At CeBIT 2010 Open Source was one of the main issues, prominently placed in hall 2. This video of Linux Magazine Online shows an extract of it.
Projects and companies from all over the world were joining in, and Mathias Huber is the tour guide showing the CeBIT surrounding and the Open Source Park. He interviews Mozilla, the Ukrainian company N-ix and the community manager of Nexenta. What you don't see: During the last night of the exhibition a lot of snow came down. To the displeasure for many Germans, but to the delight of the Nexenta-Man Anil -- he was quite happy about his first snowball fight ever. And towards the end of the video you'll get to know what's really cool.

Spring System Energy
Name: Shawn D. Status: student Age: 16 Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2/26/2003
My physics teacher found a discrepancy in our book. Say you are given a vertical spring with a mass hanging from it. If the weight is displaced downward, and let go, the book says that the potential energy of gravity can be ignored when finding the weight's maximum velocity. It factors in the change in the spring's potential energy, but disregards gravity. Please help us restore our faith in the book we invested so much work on.
The book is correct, but misleading. The condition of MAXIMUM velocity is the key phrase and the resolution of the apparent paradox. Without going through the derivation, the maximum velocity occurs when the spring passes through its equilibrium position. For that instant of maximum velocity the spring is in its equilibrium so the force of the spring Fs = -k(X - Xo) = 0 just balances the gravitational force Fg = mgh. All of the energy is in the form of kinetic energy. I do agree that the book should not have just left such a remark unexplained.
Vince Calder
Your book is absolutely right, even though it seems to violate common sense when you first see it. I think I might be able to convince you with this argument:
We all know that Newton's Laws rules the roost here, so F = ma. Consider the F. If you consider y to be measured upward from the position of the mass when the spring is not extended (the mass is not yet attached), then
F = -ky - mg.
Here k is the spring constant and mg is the weight of the mass. Now do a change of variable to, say, z = y + d, where z is measured from the mass position when it is hanging on the spring and is at rest. then
F = 0 = -kd - mg and d = -mg/k so
y = z - d.
Notice that then F = -ky - mg = -kz + kmg/k - mg = -kz. So if you measure the displacement of the mass from its equilibrium position, the effect of gravity vanishes! What really happens, of course, is that the extra spring tension just exactly balances the weight of the mass.
Best, Dick Plano, Professor of Physics emeritus, Rutgers University
The effect of gravity is take into account by your choice of the zero point for the spring. If you choose the zero point to be the point of equilibrium, the spring force you are using contains the effect of gravitational force. The spring potential energy contains the effect of gravitational potential energy. You have essentially fused them into one force equation. If instead of equilibrium, you choose the zero point to be where the spring is when it has no weight hanging from it, then you must include gravitational potential energy.
Dr. Ken Mellendorf
Physics Instructor
Illinois Central College
I think the idea that the book intends to get across is that you can choose arbitrarily the height to which you will assign a gravitational potential energy of zero. You can do this because you're only interested in changes in gravitational potential energy.
However, to calculate the maximum kinetic energy that will result from a given spring extension, you cannot ignore the change in gravitational potential energy associated with that spring extension. If the spring force at the given extension is large compared to the weight of the mass, then you can neglect gravitational potential energy and get approximately the right answer, but the exact answer has to include it.
Tim Mooney
While it may not seem intuitive at first, the book is correct, the maximum velocity is not affected by gravity. This isn't to say that gravity has no affect on the system, only that its effect on the system does not affect the velocity.
Recall that the force due to gravity is m * g, or mass times the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/(s*s)).
Recall also that force from the spring is -k * x, or the spring constant times the displacement.
In its initial state, this spring system has no acceleration, so the total forces must be zero:
-m*g - k * x = 0
So we can solve this for x:
m * g / k = -x
We will call this initial displacement Xg, or the displacement due to gravity, and its sign will be negative since it is a downward displacement.
Now, when you pull the spring downward, you will increase the force acting upward on the spring. We will call this displacement Xd, and its sign will be negative, since it is a downward displacement.
So when you have displaced the system, the total force will be:
-m * g + k * Xg + k * Xd = Flowest
And, at the highest point, the forces will be:
-m * g + k * Xg - k * Xh = Fhighest
Since the energy at the top must be the same as the energy at the bottom, and since at the time the they are at the top and bottom, the mass is not moving, all the energy is potential at these points.
-m * g + k * Xg + k * Xd = -m * g + k * Xg - k * Xh
Now we simplify. First we already know that -m*g + k * Xg = 0, so:
k * Xd = -k * Xh
And we can stop there and realize that the energy contributed by gravity is constant throughout, and its only effect is to displace the entire system downwards by a fixed amount. In other words, the displacement of the spring by gravity reduces the potential energy due to gravity of the entire system throughout its entire existence. So the mass is lower at its lowest point that it otherwise would be, and it is lower at its highest point than it otherwise would be.
I hope this helps,
--Eric Tolman
Far be it from me to argue that text books never contain errors! Despite the author's best efforts they do get there so it is always a good practice to seek to understand the subject (as you and your classmates are) rather than to accept information blindly.
In this case it sounds like a problem that you have been asked to work or that is being presented as an example. Sometimes authors like to simplify problems by removing factors from consideration. This is how a lot of scientific work is done. We start by assuming certain factors do not have a big impact on our results and come up with a theory that explains the major effects, then we start finding the factors that result in minor corrections until the theory has enough components to fully explain the observations.
Now, in this case the change in potential energy due to gravity has been neglected. In essence the author is assuming (or asking you to assume) that the spring force constant is much greater than the gravitational force. Have you worked the problem both ways? How much difference does the gravitational force make? Was the author justified in neglecting gravitational potential energy?

To get easily started with your Kaltura CE you should first become familiar with the following applications: Terminology. Cloud Computing Services. Documentation. Amazon Simple Storage Service. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is storage for the internet.
You can use Amazon S3 to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time, from anywhere on the web. You can accomplish these tasks using the AWS Management Console , which is a simple and intuitive web interface. Simple Storage Service (S3) Amazon S3 Getting Started Guide. S3 Developers Guide. Amazon Simple Storage Service. In general, bucket owners pay for all Amazon S3 storage and data transfer costs associated with their bucket.
A bucket owner, however, can configure a bucket to be a Requester Pays bucket. With Requester Pays buckets, the requester instead of the bucket owner pays the cost of the request and the data download from the bucket. The bucket owner always pays the cost of storing data. Typically, you configure buckets to be Requester Pays when you want to share data but not incur charges associated with others accessing the data. Amazon S3 Resources. Amazon Web Services General Reference. To reduce data latency in your applications, most Amazon Web Services products allow you to select a regional endpoint to make your requests.
An endpoint is a URL that is the entry point for a web service. For example, is an entry point for the Amazon DynamoDB service. Some services, such as IAM, do not support regions; their endpoints therefore do not include a region. A few services, such as Amazon EC2, let you specify an endpoint that does not include a specific region, for example, Using Amazon S3 from AWS Explorer. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is a storage service that enables you to store and retrieve data from any connection to the Internet. All data stored by you on Amazon S3 is associated with your account and is, by default, accessible only by you. The AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio enables you to store data on Amazon S3 and to view, manage, retrieve, and distribute that data.
Amazon S3 uses the concept of buckets, which you can think of as being similar to file systems or logical drives. Buckets can contain folders—which are similar to directories—and objects, which are similar to files. In this section, we'll be using these concepts as we walk through the Amazon S3 functionality exposed by the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio. How to Use Resources, Principals, Operations, and Conditions in Bucket Policies. Specifying Amazon S3 Resources in Bucket Policies You can refer to buckets and objects in bucket policies. Amazon S3 policies use the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) format for specifying them, as follows: arn:aws:s3:::[resourcename] The resource name is the fully qualified name of a bucket or object that the user is requesting access to.
Granting Permission, Using Canonical ID, to a CloudFront Origin Identify. Amazon Simple Storage Service. Uploading Objects into Amazon S3. When you upload a folder, Amazon S3 uploads all the files and subfolders from the specified folder to your bucket. It then assigns a key value that is a combination of the uploaded file name and the folder name. For example, if you upload a folder /images containing two files, sample1.jpg and sample2.jpg, Amazon S3 uploads the files and then assigns the corresponding object key names images/sample1.jpg, and images/sample2.jpg.
Note that the key names include the folder name as a prefix. Virtual Hosting of Buckets. In general, virtual hosting is the practice of serving multiple web sites from a single web server. One way to differentiate sites is by using the apparent host name of the request instead of just the path name part of the URI. An ordinary Amazon S3 REST request specifies a bucket by using the first slash-delimited component of the Request-URI path. Alternatively, you can use Amazon S3 virtual hosting to address a bucket in a REST API call by using the HTTP Host header. In practice, Amazon S3 interprets Host as meaning that most buckets are automatically accessible (for limited types of requests) at. Using the AWS SDKs and Explorers. Amazon Simple Storage Service.

Top 10 Songs to Download While Drunk
Boozy playlists are the very best, better still when they randomly appear on your playlist the day after you've knocked back a few beers. Your drunk brain always knows what kind of music the sober you needs. Or most of the time, anyway.Photo by Gina Carteciano via flickr
Unfortunately, sometimes drunken downloading can be just about as beer-goggle dangerous as anything we can think of. For example, we may know a certain writer who has a penchant for downloading Billy Idol songs while inebriated. The "Rebel Yell" singer only released so many songs, and that idiot may own them all. But thanks to that mishap, we've learned our lesson...sort of.

UTPA Rehab Club Making a Difference
POSTED: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 - 5:01pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 - 8:45am
Hidalgo County - They are a group of students that one by one are looking to make a difference in the lives of others. The group of students do this by not only reaching out to those with rehabilitation needs, but also remembering those that need a helping hand. We are talking about the Rehab Club at UTPA.
Nichole Valenta is a Rehabilitation major at UTPA, she's part of the club because she wants to reach out and educate others. Valenta says, "I think everyone, especially those with disabilities should be treated equally."
The U-T-P-A Rehab club has aided groups like Special Olympics, The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and most recently is helping grant a wish to a 10-year old boy with terminal leukemia. Yordley C. Martinez is a 10-year old boy with a deadly leukemia, his dream is to travel to Disney World in Orlando, Florida with his mother. The club is working to make that possible.
Meantime, for the students it is not just about feeling the need to help, but instead enjoying the comradery, which inspires them to make a difference.

Man accused in crash on Interstate 805 pleads not guilty: Donald Clark faced judge Tuesday
Clark accused of felony DUI
SAN DIEGO - A man accused of causing a horrific crash on Interstate 805 last week pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.
Donald Clark, 22, faced a judge in a downtown courtroom. Through his attorney, Clark pleaded not guilty to felony DUI with an allegation of causing great bodily injury and driving with a suspended license.
"Mr. Clark has been advised of his constitutional rights," said the attorney representing Clark. "(He) enters a not guilty plea denying the allegations."
According to the California Highway Patrol, at about 3:30 a.m. Friday, Clark was behind the wheel of a tan Mazda heading southbound on I-805. The CHP says Clark was just south of University Avenue when his car began to drift.
"In those early morning hours, he struck the center median, causing a Caltrans message sign to break in half," said deputy district attorney Adam Gordon.
Debris from the sign flew into the northbound lanes of the freeway. That caused a series of crashes, one after another.
One crash landed Navraj Moktan in the hospital with life-threatening injuries after a large cement mixer truck slammed into him. Moktan was propelled into the air and landed on the shoulder of the freeway.
He was the most severely injured and has already endured several surgeries since Friday's crash.
"Hopefully the victim is going to have a speedy recovery but we are concerned about his condition at this time," said Gordon.
10News checked with the hospital on Tuesday where Moktan is still being treated. 10News was told he is in fair condition.

Planning Committee is at Work
In the first phases of creating a community forest, planning is key! This is where citizens envision the recreational, educational, and economic uses of the forest, from now into the far future. In our planning process, the basic questions of who will own the forest and manage it, and how decisions are made with community input, will also be addressed. And of course, there is the need to raise the purchase price!
A planning committee has formed with residents of Easton, Sugar Hill, Franconia, and Landaff, and representatives of ACT. Others are still invited to join this group, or get involved in the more particular issues of recreational management (trails, hunting, motorized use), experiential learning (getting learners of all ages on the land), ownership & governance, and building community support. Working groups of interested people will focus in these areas. If you are interested in joining the planning committee of one of the working groups please contact Margo Connors, Sugar Hill Select Board, 823-8575, Ned Cutler, Easton Select Board, 823-5019, or Rebecca Brown of ACT, 823-7777.
Notes from the July 25 Planning Committee are available here.
Notes from the July 11 Planing Committee are available here.
Notes from the first Planning Committee meeting June 27 are available here.

"It's all about the stance and style," Ignacio Gonzales told reporter Charla Bear.
Known to friends as "Notch," he builds hot rods for his shop, Top Notch Kustoms, and tiki bars on the side. Localore producers the Kitchen Sisters gleaned the best bits from Bear's interview with Gonzales for their project The Making Of... and worked with Bay Area illustrator Wendy MacNaughton to capture them visually. Then, they connected with Cowbird—an image-focused storytelling site built by digital artist Jonathan Harris—to post the finished product: a one-two storytelling punch.
This one experiment reflects the larger collaborative ethos that spans the Localore projects. Not only are the initiative's producers leading multimedia teams that include station staff, designers, developers, field producers and others—they're working hand-in-hand with other journalism and storytelling innovators to kick the tires on emerging tools.
The dynamic is most apparent in the collaboration between eight of the ten projects and interactive storytelling team Zeega. The recipient of a Knight News Challenge grant, Zeega emerged from AIR's MQ2 initiative, and is co-producing participatory and immersive sites such as Austin Music Map, Curious City, and Planet Takeout with the Localore producer-station teams. The Kitchen Sisters are working with Zeega to refine and deepen their project site (more on that soon), and in the coming weeks, Zeega-powered sites will launch for Black Gold Boom, iSeeChange, Sonic Trace and Reinvention.
Social audio platform SoundCloud has also become a hub for not only distribution, but creative curation of Localore pieces. Check out the story map that the Hear Here producers Erica Mu and Audrey Dilling have built with SoundCloud Labs to show how their project at KALW is bridging the Bay.
Localore producers such as Jennifer Brandel and her Curious City team at WBEZ have been actively experimenting with other tools—such as Timeline, developed for the Knight News Innovation Lab at Northwestern, and ThingLink, which allows makers to embed social content into images. Try out the interactive comic that the Illustrated Press created with Curious City using ThingLink, which explores the shifting boundaries of Chicago neighborhoods.
The producers are acting as catalysts and connectors at their incubator stations—road-testing rising methods for interacting with communities, and building links between the stations and the broader sphere of news innovation. Check back for more examples of Localore invention in action.

Meet the Scientists in the lab
My name is Matt Browne and I have been working in the JKW lab this summer. I am a rising junior at James I. O'Neill High School in Highland Falls and I live right here in wonderful West Point. Along with my laboratory compadres, I have been studying the effects that weapons contaminants have on the gene expression of several organisms, namely E. Coli and B. subtilis. My work in the lab includes bacterial culturing procedures, RNA and DNA extraction techniques, gel electrophoresis, reverse transcription to create cDNA from RNA, PCR and quantitative PCR, and world-champion level pipette skills. My favorite aspect of working in the lab is being able to come into an environment where I am always provided the opportunity to solve problems and really work out my critical thinking skills.

Not Just Midtown: Walmart Has Plans to Expand All Over Miami-Dade
Walmart has never quite taken hold in Miami-Dade as it has much of the rest of the South. The chain only operates 11 stores in the county today. To put that in prospective, neighboring Collier County, which has only 12 percent of our population, now has six Walmart stores. As the Miami Herald points out, South Florida is the only market in the Southeast where Walmart's grocery share is third, with about 11.6 percent of the market.
In other words, Walmart realizes there's still room for growth in the county.
Plans to plop down a store in the rapidly gentrifying Midtown area have garnered nothing short of controversy. It might be Walmart's closest store to the urban center of a major American metro area in the entire country.

A new event for the 2011 edition of Toronto Design Week is Do West Design, an initiative spearheaded by the Do West Trinity Bellwoods Business Improvement Area.
Works by Toronto designers, such as the Mountain Coatrack by Bettie Cott (above), will be exhibited in a variety of local businesses from January 27 - 30, 2011. Marie Collier is the Program Coordinator of the organizing committee that is also made up of Arounna Kounnoraj (Bookhou), Kia Waese and Jerry Waese (R.A.D), Josh Glover (Sleeping Giant Gallery) and Julie Nicholson and Shaun Moore (MADE). We asked them for a little insight into this new event...
Do West Design Program Coordinator Marie Collier
What is the theme to the show you are curating this year during Toronto Design Week?
This is the first year of what we intend to be a yearly event. Do West Design is the embracing initiative which celebrates a diversity of contemporary designers and their approaches by literally bringing their works to the street. The street in this case being our Business Area, with the works presented in a variety of venues along our stretch of downtown Toronto. Simultaneously it highlights the diversity of our streetscape and community and is a reminder of the value of creative initiatives and the resonance of design in our daily lives. There is definitely opportunity to explore specific themes with future years.
Concrete Cabinet by Jean Willoughby
How did you put together the group of designers featured in your show?
A call for submissions was published through our site and as this will be its inaugural year without a precedent, we also relied on our networking abilities to disseminate information through business and personal contacts. This will certainly grow into a wider call by our second year.
BaconSavers by Jill Allan
How does the "exhibition space" contribute to the show?
Essentially our whole street becomes the "gallery", with the design projects displayed in storefronts/walkups/windows, cafes, galleries, bars, restaurants, boutiques, showrooms and even a lumberyard! Each space contributes collaboratively to the overall exhibition. The designers will be matched with venues based on the suitability of the space to their project. In many cases the works on display will blend in seamlessly with their exhibition environment in their form and function and in others, they will offer an engaging juxtaposition with the venue's design and daily function. This interaction is an essence of the show.
Iceberg Table by Periphere
What are your views on the current state of Toronto's design industry and community?
Marie Collier, our program coordinator has recently returned from a year in London (UK). Her thoughts, "It is great to return and be reminded that Toronto has a distinct and fairly cohesive design community. The relatively small size of the city, and therefore the close proximity of studios, exhibition spaces, and schools, and Toronto's position as an arts and cultural centre within the country, fosters this cohesion as designers are able to see each other's work, collaborate on projects together and support and encourage one another with the intent of building the community as a whole."
Over the last 30 years we have moved more into design and creation from a manufacturing base, and I think we, as a city, are still seeking a balance in that - having retail strips that celebrate the design community enhances our ability to feel the pulse of this vital concept.
How to Eat Meat Vase by Katherine Morley
What sort of design trends have you noticed in the past year?
Themes that echo and honor infrastructural materials, inside out reversals and revivification through convergence and simplification.
Also a lot of references to traditional craft techniques such as crochet and quilting, an emphasis on the handmade, and an interest in the graphic geometric patterns and bright colours of folk textiles from many different cultures. In many cases these references are expressed through high-tech or unexpected materials and fabrication techniques and in others, they are an outright return to traditional methods and motifs. The trend towards reclaimed and recycled materials continues as do cheeky references to Canadiana.
Stool by Amy Keeler
Do you think there is room for Toronto's Design Week to grow?
There is absolutely room for Toronto Design Week to grow! We are lucky to have a talented and close knit design community that continues to engage enthusiastically in events such as these. The more opportunities we create to exhibit local design, the more local talent will develop and rise to the occasion.
Toronto's design week should grow in step with the city's evolving sense of integrity and identity. With the shifting turbulence of global economies, design week could provide a positive platform from which to display not only exceptional creativity, but the will to problem solve and create new solutions.
Do West Design is one of the many offsite shows that are part of the inaugural Toronto Design Offsite, aka TODO List.

The following story deals with situations that you may or may not be allowed to read about depending on your age or how uptight the place you live in is. Enjoy it even so.I am addicted to fanmail. Send praise, requests and anything else to gahom4hotmail.com Part young preteens pussies 1Look at that boy over there, standing hand in hand with his grandfather, a little white-faced and wearing a sweater that's a size too small for him. That boy's name is Colin Pail. Colin isn't randier, or more handsome, or in possession of a bigger penis than other boys, but he is the luckiest child in the entire world.
preteen pussy girlies
And he's just beginning to realize it.Colin is poor, lives in a leaky house where he has to sleep with his four wrinkly grandparents, and at school he never gets to top any of the other boys because they're all bigger and far better hung than he is. The chances of a boy like him finding a golden ticket were very small indeed, but yet here is, in front of Willy Wanker's world-famous sex factory, waiting for the gates to open.Nobody has seen Willy Wanker in many years. He is as mysterious as he is rich, which means he is very mysterious indeed. From a time since before Colin was born Wanker's factory has been making the finest in sex toys and erotic accessories the world has known. But no workers enter the sprawling factory grounds, and Willy never leaves.Then one day it was announced that Willy wished to invite five lucky children for a tour of his factory. They would be chosen at random, because only the golden tickets that had been hidden in the packaging of Wanker-brand sex toys would get them and an adult companion through the large iron gates.Within days vibrators and ben-wa balls were flying off the shelves. All over the planet little boys and girls were asking for double-ended dildos instead of dolls, naughty underwear instead of ponies. Even young Colin managed to save up enough money to buy himself a little 5" dildo. And wrapped around it was one of the five golden tickets. Colin was so happy, he celebrated with his new purchase so much that it hurt him to walk the next morning.Mr Wanker is making them wait, it seems, so Colin takes the time to have a good look at the other four winners.Luc is tall and rather thin, and he's wearing so few clothes that he must be very cold in this British winter weather. But he doesn't shiver at all, and instead is constantly rubbing his bulge which is barely contained in his short purple pants. He's also explaining to the boy next to him, in a thick French accent, that he was bound to find a golden ticket because he is one of Wanker's best customers, having used almost all of his products.The boy Luc is talking to doesn't seem at all interested in what he has to say, or in anything else for that matter. He is the shortest member of the group, has blonde, wavy hair, wears glasses and a waistcoat, and his name is Godfrey Pepper. His father is a duke, and Godfrey seems to think this makes him better than anyone else.Next, wearing a skin-tight red training suit that shows off his shapely bottom, comes the only American winner, Bo. Colin
nn preteens com
has heard of him before. Bo has won three national sexual endurance contests, and has been the centrepiece of a successful world record attempt to have one boy have sex with fifty men in one day. That he would find a golden ticket was inevitable for someone so successful, Colin hears his proud father exclaim.Finally, the boy standing next to Colin scares him a little. Spike is dressed all in shiny black leather, including a revealing pouch, and like Luc he doesn't seem to mind the
nn preteens com
cold much. But Spike looks mean instead of happy, and the whip in his hand doesn't make him seem any friendlier. Already he's asked, or rather demanded, that Godfrey wear a dog collar and receive a spanking, but the latter turned up his nose and refused. That just made Spike even angrier ^Ö and more excited too, if his pouch is anything to go by."Step back from the gate please" says a strange, high voice through a loudspeaker, and the
preteen schoolgirl rape
boys and their parents, or asian preteen in Colin's case grandparent, withdraw a few paces. The hinges screech like birds as the gates open. Beyond them lies a wide grey square, and at the end of it the factory itself. Bo is the first one to reach its doors. The bronze door-knocker is in the shape of a cock. Luc eagerly grabs hold of it."You don't have to knock," says that same high, trembling voice from a few metres behind them, "because I can tell you already I'm not home."The owner of the voice
playtoy preteen models
wears pantaloons and a coat of red crushed velvet. He has a top hat on his head and a golden walking stick in his hand, the handle of which also looks like a penis. He is so pale that he might be white, and he is smiling. Somewhat creepily."You're Willy Wanker, aren't you?" says Bo."Well, aren't you the clever one," Willy smiles evenly."I am," the track-suited boy replies. "And the fast one. And the strongest...""Yes, yes, I don't care much for talking," Willy disrupts him, sweeping past the group and pushing open the double doors that lead into the entrance hall. "Welcome, boys and g...well, boys and parents. Welcome to Willy Wanker's sex factory!"Before showing them any further, Willy has all his visitors leave their bags and winter coats in the hall. There

is a brief struggle over Spike's whip, but the boy is eventually permitted to take his most prized possession in with him. Willy agrees with Spike's rather forceful father that his minimal amount of clothing makes up for it. Colin thinks so too. He's been rubbing himself a little through his underpants, looking at Spike

and Luc.This is going to be a very interesting tour, Colin thinks to himself.

Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance
Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance
Publisher: Free Press | ISBN: 0684841460 | edition 1998 | File type: PDF | 580 pages | 25,5 mb
The essential complement to the pathbreaking book Competitive Strategy, Michael E. Porter's Competitive Advantage explores the underpinnings of competitive advantage in the individual firm. With over 30 printings in English and translated into thirteen languages, this second volume in Porter's landmark trilogy describes how a firm actually gains an advantage over its rivals. Competitive Advantage introduces a whole new way of understanding what a firm does. Porter's groundbreaking concept of the value chain disaggregates a company into "activities," or the discrete functions or processes that represent the elemental building blocks of competitive advantage.
Now an essential part of international business thinking, Competitive Advantage takes strategy from broad vision to an internally consistent configuration of activities. Its powerful framework provides the tools to understand the drivers of cost and a company's relative cost position. Porter's value chain enables managers to isolate the underlying sources of buyer value that will command a premium price, and the reasons why one product or service substitutes for another. He shows how competitive advantage lies not only in activities themselves but in the way activities relate to each other, to supplier activities, and to customer activities. Competitive Advantage also provides for the first time the tools to strategically segment an industry and rigorously assess the competitive logic of diversification.

Finder chart for Pluto in 2013. Chart showing path of Pluto in 2013. Positions of Pluto in 2013. Pluto in 2013Pluto was originally thought of as the smallest, and usually the outermost, of the major planets. With the discovery beyond Neptune of a number of other objects of the same sort of size, opinion swung to thinking of it as one of the larger Kuiper belt objects. Some of these, like Pluto, have a period in the ratio 3:2 with Neptune. At the 2006 IAU meeting in Prague it was decided to reclassify the larger of these object, including Pluto, as Dwarf Planets. Whether the name will stick remains to be seen. In 2013, Pluto's apparent path will be in Sagittarius about 3.5° south of its boundary with Scutum. During 2013 Pluto will be moving through the Milky Way with numerous background stars with a similar magnitude to the planet. This is likely to make its detection and identification more difficult than when it there are less background stars. In January 2013, Pluto will skirt the southern edge of the M25 star cluster but will then be too close to the Sun to observe. Pluto is stationary on April 13 after which its motion will be retrograde, back to the west, for the next 5 months. The planet is at opposition on July 2. Pluto is stationary again on September 20, when it will start moving to the east again. After opposition Pluto will be an evening object. It will be lost to view in the evenig twiliht by about the beginning of December, reaching conjunction with the Sun on 1 January 2014. At present, Pluto is a 14th magnitude object, so is likely to need a telescope with an aperture of at least 25 cm to see. Keen eyed observers viewing under good conditions from a dark site may be able to spot the planet with a smaller telescope. The planet is at opposition on June 29. Thus May, June, July and August will be the best time for attempting to view it. It is in conjunction with the Sun on 30 December 2012 and on 1 January 2014, so starts and ends the year too close to the Sun to observe.

Arroyo throws gem by thriving outside
October, 8, 2012
By ESPN Stats & Information | ESPN.com
The Cincinnati Reds pounded the San Francisco Giants, and recorded their first postseason shutout since Game 1 of the 1990 World Series when they won 7-0 against the Oakland Athletics.
The Reds nine runs were the second-most in a postseason road game, and most since scoring 10 in Game 8 of the 1919 World Series.
That was the clinching game in a best-of-9 series best known for the "Black Sox Scandal" where eight Chicago White Sox were banned from baseball for allegedly throwing the World Series.
On Sunday, the Reds offense was led by Ryan Hanigan and his three RBI, which are tied for the second-most by a Reds catcher in a postseason game since Benito Santiago had three in the 1995 NLDS.
However the real story of the game was Bronson Arroyo.
Arroyo became the first Reds pitcher to throw at least seven scoreless innings allowing one hit or fewer in a postseason game.
How did Arroyo beat the Giants?
He threw 57 of 91 pitches (62.6 percent) on the outer third of the plate or further away. Giants hitters were 0-for-15 in at-bats ending with a pitch in that location.
Giants hitters were also 0-for-8 in at-bats ending with an offspeed pitch, including all four of Arroyo's strikeouts.
Arroyo was also dominate with two strikes as Giants hitters were 0-for-11 in two-strike at-bats.
It was a rough day for the Giants who were shut out at home in a postseason game for second time since moving to San Francisco in 1958.
This was their largest shutout loss in postseason history.
The nine-run defeat was the Giants worst in a postseason game since losing 13-1 in Game 5 of the 1951 World Series.
Game 3 is Tuesday in Cincinnati where the Reds were tied for the best home record in the National League during the regular season.
