Web Conferencing Vendors Push into Video, CRM
Web Conferencing Vendors Push into Video, CRM

Raindance launches a new release with voice-activated video feeds, while WebEx partners with Saleforce.com for extra reach.
Web conferencing vendors are branching out with better integration of video into online meetings and links into customer relationship management applications. In separate announcements on Monday, Raindance Communications Inc. launched its latest Web conferencing release with new voice-activate desktop video features, while WebEx Communications Inc. announced a partnership with Web-based CRM vendor Salesforce.com Inc. With its new release, called Raindance Meeting Edition, Raindance is targeting more-frequent meetings where multiple participants interact rather than the familiar one-to-many presentation approach, said Brian Burch, Raindances chief marketing officer.
The addition of video capabilities draws on that approach. Raindance Meeting Edition meshes video with Raindances public-switched telephone network audio bridge, a feature called "follow-talker," allowing it to recognize who is speaking. It then displays the video feed of the speaker and dynamically switches the feed as the speaker changes, Burch said.
"Having multiple video feeds open can be distracting," Burch said. "You dont care so much about seeing everyone at the same time but seeing who is talking." Besides the video features, the new release has focused on simplifying the process for launching online meetings. Raindance Meeting Edition integrates with Microsoft Outlook for scheduling a meeting and for one-click access to launch a meeting and provides a desktop icon for starting a Web conference. On the audio side, it also eliminates the need for call-in numbers and PINs by providing an automated attendant feature that calls participants when they log into a Web conference. Another new feature provides bandwidth detection for application sharing so that the content served to a user matches that users bandwidth capabilities.
Raindance Meeting Edition, available now, is a hosted service and requires Windows 98, 2000 or XP. Raindance, of Louisville, Colo., is working on a Mac OS X version that should be out within the next two quarters, Burch said. Pricing varies depending on the size of meetings but include unlimited access to the meeting room. Pricing for a maximum of five users is $274.95 a month, while 10 users costs $399.95 month. Raindance offers custom pricing for a larger number of concurrent users, up to 125 users. Minutes for audio are charged separately. For its part, WebEx, of San Jose, Calif., is expanding access to its Web conferencing service through plans to tie its MediaTone Network for online communications with San Francisco-based Salesforce.coms CRM service. The two companies have agreed to integrate their technology, through Salesforce.coms sforce development platform. They also will promote a joint offering, which is set to be available in the summer. The integration will allow customers to launch a WebEx meeting directly from Salesforce.com as well as to capture information from a meeting in the CRM service. WebEx Chairman and CEO Subrah Iyar, in a statement, said the partnership meshes with WebExs goal of linking with other applications and services. In October, WebEx struck a deal with Yahoo Inc. that allows WebEx meetings to be launched directly from Yahoos Business Messenger instant messaging service.

AKRON, OH - The Binghamton Mets scored the game-winning run without the aid of a hit and the bullpen provided four shutout innings of relief in a 2-1 victory over the Akron Aeros Friday night at Canal Park.
With the game tied and the bases loaded on two walks and a hit batsman in the top of the seventh, Wilfredo Tovar lifted a weak popup behind first base. Jose Ramirez raced over from second, but dropped it, allowing Cory Vaughn to score the go-ahead run.
The B-Mets were forced to play catch-up after the Aeros used the bottom of their order to strike in the second. Roberto Perez started the rally with a two-out double to left-center. B-Mets starter Cory Mazzoni allowed a single and issued a walk to load the bases, but worked ahead of nine-hitter Delvi Cid to an 0-2 count.
Cid waved at a low breaking ball, but the third strike kicked away from B-Mets catcher Juan Centeno, rolling fifteen feet from home plate. Centeno failed to cleanly bare-hand the ball, allowing Perez to score from third.
After being kept in check by Aeros starter T.J. House for five innings, Binghamton broke through in the sixth. Back-to-back singles from Wilfredo Tovar and Alonzo Harris chased the southpaw from the game. Fabio Martinez entered from the pen and uncorked a wild pitch on his first offering, pushing both runners up a bag. Daniel Muno tied the game with an RBI ground out to second.
Taken off the hook, Mazzoni exited after five innings. The righty saved his best for last; retiring the final six batters he faced, including four straight strikeouts.
With the game tied at one, Mark Cohoon made his first relief appearance since July 2008. The southpaw worked around a double and a walk to put up a scoreless sixth.
In the seventh, Martinez handed out a walk and hit Puello before being replaced by Kyle Landis. Pena was intentionally walked after a sac bunt from Juan Centeno, setting the stage for Wilfredo Tovar's run-producing popup.
Chase Hunchingson made the lead stand with two scoreless innings of relief and Jack Leathersich stranded a pair of runners in the ninth to secure the win. Cohoon (1-0) collected the victory while Leathersich earned his first save. Martinez (0-1) suffered the first blown save in the losing effort.
The B-Mets (2-0) look to secure the series victory Saturday afternoon at 2:05 PM. RHP Logan Verrett makes his Double-A debut against LHP Matt Packer. The Horizons Federal Credit Union Pregame Show starts at 1:50 PM.
POSTGAME NOTES: This is the first 2-0 start to a season for the B-Mets since 2002…Cory Mazzoni has allowed only two unearned runs in 12.0 innings pitched at Canal Park…B-Mets went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position

EnvironmentClimate talks end inconclusively, again Latest round of negotiations in Germany on reducing global warming ended without a serious deal, environmentalists say. Stephen Leahy | 07 May 2013 17:10 GMT | Environment, US & Canada, Australia, Canada, Germany Political leaders are "not confronting special interests" to address climate change, scientists say [AFP]Another week of international climate negotiations ended in Bonn, Germany on Friday, but there was little mid-level bureaucrats could do when world leaders remain in thrall to the fossil fuel industry, say environmentalists. "The main barrier to confronting the climate crisis isn't lack of knowledge about the problem, nor is it the lack of cost-effective solutions," said Alden Meyer, director of strategy at the Union of Concerned Scientists. "It's the lack of political will by most world leaders to confront the special interests that have worked long and hard to block the path to a sustainable low-carbon future. Until this changes, we're not going to see the action we need," said Meyer, who has attended virtually every climate negotiation over the past 19 years. Canada offers a perfect example. Its much-promoted strategy for future prosperity is based on pumping two billion of tonnes of climate-heating CO2 into the atmosphere. Tens of billions of dollars are being invested in the Alberta tar sands to increase production from 1.6 million barrels a day to four to five million a day by 2020. That translates into one billion tonnes of CO2 a year from tar sands extraction and burning the resulting fuels. Canada is also one of the world's largest natural gas producers, with aggressive expansion plans estimated to result in adding 0.5 billion tonnes of CO2 annually by 2020 for production and burning. Scientific evidence Top this off with 80 to 100 million tonnes of CO2 from coal and Canada's 'normal' domestic emissions of half a billion tonnes and Canada's future prosperity will be based on profiting from dumping two billion tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. Business-as-usual for the fossil fuel industry is incompatible with the need to keep the global temperature increase to two degrees C or less Marc Lee, economist The science is clear that to have a good chance of keeping global temperature increases below two degrees C requires global emissions to decline at least six to 10 billion tonnes below 2011 levels by 2020. And this decline must continue to push emissions lower every year thereafter. Instead emissions are increasing each year. At least 78 percent of Canada's proven oil, bitumen, gas and coal reserves, and 89 percent of proven-plus-probable reserves would need to remain underground as part of Canada's effort to stay below two degrees C, according to a recent study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA). "Business-as-usual for the fossil fuel industry is incompatible with the need to keep the global temperature increase to two degrees C or less," said CCPA senior economist Marc Lee. "We are in need of a 'managed retreat' from fossil fuel investments," said Lee. However, under the Stephen Harper government Canada has pulled out of the Kyoto climate treaty, and reduced its support for energy efficiency and clean energy while continuing to provide more than one billion dollars in annual subsidies or tax incentives for fossil fuel companies. Despite propaganda that rich countries like Canada take the dangers of climate change seriously, it is absolutely clear they do not. "World leaders are acting like Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," Meyer said in a statement. Developed countries must look at the gap between where the science says their targets should be in 2020, which is 50 percent below 1990 levels, and their current commitments are of just 13 percent, said Augustine Njamnshi of the Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA). Positive developments Despite all this the Bonn meeting ended with a positive dynamic, according to many participants. The Association of Small Island States launched a plan designed to have countries commit to deeper cuts in carbon emissions in the next few years. And there was much discussion around the issue of equity or fairness in terms of emissions reductions for a new climate treaty to be signed in 2015. However, there were no commitments or specifics, said Njamnshi in a statement. These discussions will continue at a two-week meeting in June also in Bonn. In November, leaders are slated to attend the annual U.N. climate conference known as COP 19 in Warsaw. There they need to agree on action to shrink the gap between pledges and what science says is needed, said Jan Kowalzig of Oxfam Germany. "We're on track to four degrees of warming which will be disastrous for most countries," Kowalzig said. In Bonn, there was good discussion on how to reduce the gap, including the Association of Small Island States' plan to have governments make specific commitments on renewable energy and energy efficiency at COP 19, he said. The Climate Action Network, a coalition of over 90 civil society organisations including Oxfam, "wholeheartedly support this initiative", he said. An action plan for phasing out fossil subsidies also needs to be agreed on at COP 19. In addition, developed countries like Canada, the US and Australia must come prepared to increase "their pathetically low emissions reduction targets", Kowalzig said.

Bell claims to have lost 40 pounds during the offseason in an attempt to get in better shape for the season. After signing a minor-league deal with the club during the offseason, Bell will have to earn his spot on the major-league roster during the spring.
Bell said he wanted to make a good impression with his new club. "I wanted to come into camp and people say, 'He works his butt off,'" Bell said. "I still need to get people out. It's just gonna make me look nicer." In order to get in better shape, Bell trained for two triathlons during the offseason. He also made sure to eat healthier.
While Bell faces an uphill climb in order to make the team, he believes he can do so if he performs. "I feel like my chances are how I perform on the mound and getting batters out."
Bell posted a 7.27 ERA over 17 1/3 innings last year.
Bell is now seeking redemption after a few down years, but he will need to pitch his way back into the majors, as he heads to spring training on a minor-league deal with the Nationals.
"I think the last three years I've had really bad luck," Bell told The Washington Post. "And I haven't been hitting my spots. I take ownership for what I've done. I feel like I've done an okay job but I haven't in other aspects and need to be a lot better.
"I need to go to Washington this year, come to spring training and show that I can get people out and deserve to be on the team and go out there and give it my all. If [Manager] Matt Williams and the coaches there think I can help the ballclub out, then great. I think they think I can help. That's why I went to D.C. and that's why they're interested. Now I need to go out there, shut up and do it on the field."
Bell's struggles began in 2012 with the Marlins after he signed a three-year, $27 million deal. He said "something happened" to him mechanically with the Marlins that he "couldn't get back from it."
However, Bell said he made some tweaks to his mechanics and pitching style, and added he finally feels comfortable again.
"My arm feels amazing," he said. "It feels really good. A lot better than it has in the past. I've done stuff that I haven't done in years."
Bell was released by the Yankees in June, though he did not pitch for them at the major league level. He stumbled along with a 7.27 ERA earlier in the season with Tampa Bay.

Bell made five appearances at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 7.50 ERA before his release. The former All-Star closer failed to stick with two organizations earlier in the season, as he had a 7.27 ERA in 17 1/3 innings with the Rays.
Bell, who opted out of his contract with Baltimore on Sunday, has been in six different organizations since 2011. He compiled a 7.27 ERA with Tampa Bay earlier this season. His heyday was with San Diego, with whom he racked up 132 saves in three years.
Bell was designated for assignment a week ago. There was no interest in a team dealing for Bell. The Rays will owe Bell $5.55 million this year. The 36-year-old posted a 7.27 ERA in 17 1/3 innings.
Bell hasn't performed well this year, posting a 7.27 ERA in 17 1/3 innings. The team called up pitcher Nathan Karns, and needed to make room on the active roster.
Bell said he's in "really good baseball shape." This is the second time Bell has referenced his workout regime this spring, so he's clearly excited about what he's been able to accomplish. Prior to the team signing Grant Balfour, Bell was one of many candidates who could have picked up some saves.
Last season, Bell posted a 4.11 ERA in 65 2/3 innings.
Bell took to Twitter recently to state he has worked hard this offseason with trainer Todd Durkin and he feels "better than ever." Bell also added "spring training can't come fast enough!"
While the Rays might start the season with a closer-by-committee approach, pitching coach Jim Hickey believes one pitcher should eventually emerge with the closer's role.
"The last couple of seasons, we had the ninth-inning guy, and that's what everyone would prefer. I know I would prefer that," Hickey said, per the Tampa Bay Times. "That will probably end up being the case this year, although it may not be clear for at least a few weeks into the season. Whether it's Heath Bell, Peralta, Jake McGee … Alex Torres might end up being the guy. The thing I'm very comfortable with is that we have four or five guys we trust late in the game when the game is on the line. It's a pretty good situation overall."
Though, it seems to be Hickey believes Bell might be the best candidate for the job.
"The biggest question for me about a ninth-inning guy is can he handle it mentally? Can he handle it intestinally?" Hickey said. "And the fact (Bell) has been there, done that for a number of years answers that, as it did with Fernando. You know he's capable of doing that; he's not going to be afraid of the moment."
Should the Rays sign free agent closer Grant Balfour, Bell could become expendable.
The Reds will receive pitcher David Holmberg from the Diamondbacks. Holmberg only pitched 3 2/3 innings in the majors last season. Arizona will receive pitcher Justin Choate and a player to be named later. The 22-year-old had a 2.88 ERA in Single-A. The Rays will receive Ryan Hanigan, Heath Bell and cash. Hanigan hit .198 in 222 at-bats last year. Bell had a 4.11 ERA in 65 2/3 innings.
Arizona is said to be the third team in the Reds/Rays trade of Ryan Hanigan. It's not known what other players are involved in the deal. Bell had a 4.11 ERA in 65 2/3 innings last season.
Bell has now given up 12 home runs in 57 2/3 innings. His previous high in a season was six. Bell has a 4.21 ERA in 61 games.
The team will approach the final four games before the All-Star break as the situations dictate, with J.J. Putz and Bell, among others, as likely options.
Bell allowed one hit but pitched around it. He gave up a two-out single to John Buck, but he was able to retire Andrew Brown to end the game. He struck out one, while ending the inning with 18 pitches.
Bell is now 15 for 18 in save chances, and he has tossed four straight scoreless outings after giving up a home run in five straight in June. He lowered his ERA to 4.45.
The Diamondbacks are not happy with Putz's arm strength right now, so Bell will move back into the role after losing it with Putz's return. Bell was 13 for 15 in save chances while Putz was on the DL, and it is unclear how long the team will stay with this arrangement.
Manager Kirk Gibson told reporters Putz would be used in low-leverage situations for a while. He added that Josh Collmenter could receive some late-inning work given the team's struggles late in games. Bell has a 4.60 ERA in 31 1/3 innings.
Interim closer Heath Bell has allowed seven runs in his previous six outings.
It was Bell's first scoreless appearance in his last six games after surrendering home runs in each of his last five. He has a 4.85 ERA in 29 2/3 innings.
"You guys are all bent on who's the closer and this and that," Gibson told MLB.com. "We're trying to win the game -- period. For all intents and purposes, he's our closer. Will he maybe not close tonight? Maybe not. We're going to do what we think needs to be done to win the game."
Bell has allowed a home run in each of his last five appearances, and could be pushed out of the role when Putz returns which could come as soon as Friday.
Bell has surrendered one home run in each of his last five appearances, giving up a total of seven earned runs on eight hits and four walks over four innings in his last five games.
Bell, who entered the game in the ninth with a one-run lead, was unable to get an out as he walked Brandon Phillips and gave up a two-run home run to Jay Bruce before he was pulled. He has allowed seven runs over his last four innings, including a home run in each of his last five appearances. His ERA has gone from 3.28 to 5.02 during that span.
Bell allowed a leadoff homer to Justin Ruggiano to open the ninth, and put the tying run on base when he walked Giancarlo Stanton with no out.
He was able to work out of the jam with three straight outs, however, recording his 13th save in 15 tries, in a 3-1 win. Bell allowed a game-winning home run in the teams' first game Monday. He now has a 4.40 ERA on the season, and has allowed one home run in each of the last fur outings.
Bell has given up at least one earned run in each of his last three appearances while watching his ERA rise to 4.23 in 27 2/3 innings. Even after allowing four earned runs in his last three games, Bell hasn't blown a save since May 12.
Bell entered the game with a 5-3 lead after the Diamondbacks rallied to score four times in the top of the ninth. Bell allowed a leadoff homer to Juan Uribe and a double to Tim Federowicz to open the inning. Third baseman Martin Prado's error put the winning run on base with no outs. Bell was able to get out of that jam with three straight outs for his 12th save.
Bell has one blown save since becoming the closer at the beginning of May. He has lowered his ERA to 3.51, including a 2.03 ERA since becoming the closer.
Bell struck out one and allowed just one hit in a scoreless inning of work in a 3-1 win. He has not allowed a run in his last 8 2/3 innings pitched. He has a 3.28 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP in 26 appearances.
Bell, who entered the game with the bases loaded and a 5-0 lead, allowed a pair of singles to let all three inherited runners to score. He struck out the next batter and picked up a groundout to finish the game.
Bell earned his ninth save of the season in a 5-3 win.
Bell also struck out two in the 2-0 win.
Bell has at least one Fantasy owner rolling the dice, as our Nando Di Fino added Bell at the expense of Justin Smoak in a 12-team categories league. Scott White commented on his roster move during Monday's broadcast of Fantasy Baseball Today, mentioning that he'd make sure to have David Hernandez on his roster for insurance if he invested anything in Bell.
Yes, Bell was unequivocally awful last season. Being based in Miami, I am well aware of how truly abysmal Bell was as the Marlins' closer a year ago. And a large part of White and Melchoir's hesitance is surely the result of Bell's fall from grace last season. This is a new year, however, and Bell looks to be a new pitcher. Or, rather, he looks to be much more like the pitcher he was in San Diego, when he was a fixture in All-Star discussions.
Bell is striking out 12.83 batters per nine innings and has figured out how to control his wildness from last year, with just 2.03 walks per nine innings. Yes, his ERA is 4.73, but he has a 2.77 FIP and 1.91 xFIP pointing to better days ahead, mostly due to two factors being out of whack. Bell is allowing a .424 batting average on balls in play and a 20.0 percent home run per fly ball rate, both of which are completely out of line with even his worst full-season performances. If those regress to his career rates, the potential for Bell to be a useful closer is much higher than some might want to admit.
Yes, the psychological aspect might come into play for a guy who so obviously melted down in high-pressure situations last season. But, if you're looking for saves on the waiver wire, I think Bell is worth a look. Heck, I just snagged him in one league. I think he's actually pitched much better than his ERA indicates.
Bell is back to getting swinging strikes and strikeouts, but he is still getting pummeled by line drives. It's still early in the season to be putting a lot of stock in batted ball rates, but high liner rates had hampered Bell in each of the previous two seasons, too. Even though he is missing bats more often, opponents are still slugging .500 against Bell so far in 2013.
Line drive rates are highly variable, so his increased whiff rate is a more notable development, but even late last season, Bell was fairly hittable. The veteran reliever still has some upside, and he's worth a pickup if you're desperate for saves. Just be warned that Bell's tenure as closer, however long it lasts, could be a bumpy ride.
On the other hand, Bell was a disaster closing for the Marlins last year, has mostly pitched in low-leverage situations this year and continues to surrender a higher-than-ideal number of hits for a closer.
I'm not saying Bell can't get the job done. Depending on the severity of Putz's injury, he may end up closing for the rest of this season, so if you need saves, pick him up. Just understand that you may be sitting on pins and needles with him, as every little hiccup will be an excuse for the Diamondbacks to turn to Hernandez instead.
Heath Bell, who recorded his second save after replacing Putz Tuesday, believes the Diamondbacks would use a two-closer committee, involving David Hernandez and himself, if Putz needs a stint on the disabled list.
"They brought me in to help out if J.J. needed a day off or if David needed a day off," Bell said. "I mean, you never want to see anybody hurt. But unfortunately, if he has to take some time on the DL, I think myself and David can fill in real nicely."
Now serving as Arizona's setup man, the veteran right-hander has permitted just one run over his past seven appearances to trim his ERA to 5.14 while sporting a 2-0 record. Bell has also regained his stellar strikeout form, collecting 13 strikeouts against just one walk for an average of 16.7 K/9.
Bell was battered around by the Cardinals in his relief appearance, allowing three runs in just 1/3 inning of work. He allowed a home run to the first batter he saw, Pete Kozma, and then gave up a two-run shot to Jon Jay later. Bell ultimately surrendered four hits and walked one batter, with a single strikeout in a 6-1 loss.
Bell, a former All-Star, is coming off a 5.09 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in one disappointing campaign with Miami. He is expected to work as a setup man for the Diamondbacks this season, but will need to pitch better than he did Tuesday to remain in a high-leverage role.

Has the support for the Python language been removed from the SDK in Ubuntu 13.10? I can't find any tutorial for the Unity scope and for Python.
Take the 2-minute tour
Ask Ubuntu is a question and answer site for Ubuntu users and developers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Scopes are transitioning to C++The reason you might find it hard to find official tutorials for python is because Canonical is transitioning scopes to C++ (this is linked from the official Cookbook page). You can still use python to write scopes, but it's not the primary target of Canonical... which is sad, I personally love python. |

Caught between populist anger from the left and suspicion from the right, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke has in recent months worked hard to build personal and political ties with individual members of Congress. Bernanke was initially spurred to action by a bill from U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, that would direct the Government Accountability Office to conduct a wide-ranging audit of the Federal Reserve, including its bailout of companies. Nearly 300 House members and 30 senators signed on to support the bill. Bernanke said the measure would put the central bank's independence in jeopardy.

John Galliano Fall 2012
>> What's a Galliano collection without a little subversion — even if John Galliano isn't the one dishing it out? Bill Gaytten is well-aware of the signature Galliano ingredient, and for Fall 2012, the designer — now in his second season at the label's helm — offered it in the form supershort hems, hourglass silhouettes, thigh-high hosiery, and see-through gowns. But it wasn't all undone Victoriana, even if the main inspiration was the art nouveau eroticism of illustrator Aubrey Beardsley. Stephen Jones-designed hats, fur-trimmed capes, and easy-wearing dresses looked plenty romantic, as did the belted and ruffled riding coats that dominated the show. It may not have been over-the-top theatrical — but it sure made for a lovely mix.

Tyrean d'Cannith
Wandering Tinker and Tutor to Berien Collier
The man calling himself Tyrean d'Cannith is an elderly artificer who is allegedly a member of House Cannith. "Calling himself" and "Allegedly" because, despite extensive investigation on the part of Tyrean's protege, Berien Collier, Cannith claims the tinker never existed.
Tyrean first made contact with Berien the spring after the hobgoblin attack on the Collier farm. Taking the orphaned boy under his wing, the two traveled throughout Khorvaire, allowing Berien to heal from the traumas set upon him while teaching him wizardry and artifice.

Breach of contract
Not paying your mortgage is just a breach of contract. Nothing immoral about breach of contract. It is a business decision and the law provides a remedy to the injured party. In fact, there is a whole philosophical defense of breach of contract called "efficient breach" which says that not only is it not immoral to breach a contract when it doesn't make econimic sense anymore, it is beneficial for society as a whole for you to do so.
The one fly in the ointment is that anti-deficiency laws and bankruptcy laws make it impossible for the lender to get a remedy. But I say to hell with those crooks.

Pshaw, that's a one-hitter for the statewide marijuana advocacy organization. The ballot initiative they pushed was full-bore pot legalization. "It's going to have to be available to adults 21 and over, period," Amber Langston, the group's western regional director, told The Pitch in the spring. Missourians would even have been able to grow their own private pot garden in their backyards. Alas, it was all for naught. The group tallied 65,000 signatures, falling short of the number needed to get on the ballot. They've vowed to keep up the fight. Until then, smoke 'em if you've got 'em, you filthy criminals.

Moving Toward the Trinity 2008-05-12 by Joretta Marshall Each of the texts this week can, on its own, supply rich and powerful insights into our life and faith. Each is a text worth drawing upon in preaching this coming Sunday. In these texts we find the imagery of the creation stories, the power of the psalmist to articulate a vision of this Creator-God; the reminder that "faith, hope and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love", and the call to join the activity of Christ and the Spirit in the world. What an abundance of wisdom for theological reflection. What strikes me about the texts together is that they engage us in the theme of relationship. So many theological questions jump to my mind: What does it mean for God to be the embodiment of relationality through what we know as the Trinity? How does God – Creator, Judge and Redeemer, Sustainer – come to life in the world through God's relatedness? Does the Trinity suggest to us that God not only desires "right relationship", but that this Holy One cannot be anything other than relatedness? Is the good news this week that relationality is so embedded in God that humans cannot be anything other than relational? What does it mean to move toward the Trinity? As I write this blog, I am in the midst of living out a day where we honor a piece of our relationality as human beings through our celebration of Mothers. I happen to have one of those Mothers whom it is easy to celebrate; but I also know that this not common and that there are many for whom this day brings up feelings of despair, hurt, pain, anger, or hopelessness. What is clear is that relationships bring to us a richness that includes feelings of love and care, as well as hurt and pain. Our experiences of relationships are not one-sided or simple; they are often not either good or bad. Instead, our relationships are marked by tensions and creative possibilities. I wonder how this complexity about relationships mirrors the God in whose image we are created? As I sit in this moment thinking about the texts for the coming Sunday, I am aware that the way that God lives in relationship with the Godself ought to have an impact on the way that I live in relationship with all of creation – the earth, other human beings, myself, my family and neighbors. During this coming week on this blog, I invite you to reflect and engage one another in what it means to be created in the image of this God of relationality. How does our capacity for right relationship get compromised through our arrogance or our human limitation, through our hate or our anger? How do we claim the redemptive gift of relationality when it is also one of the places of our deepest pain? Is there not something in all of this complexity that is also reflective of God's experience through Mother/Father, Christ and the Spirit? What does it mean for human beings to move toward the Trinity? I look forward to your insights and gifts to this conversation with a focus on relationality. Holy Spirit through Alan, Steve and "Lectionary Homiletics" 2008-05-08 by David von Schlichten Thanks to guest blogger Alan Meyers for his extensive entries for this week. Scroll down to drink his perspicacity, as well as Steve Schuette's reflections on the danger of simplistic, dualistic labels and the Holy Spirit's label-challenging feat on Pentecost. Here are highlights from this week's articles in "Lectionary Homiletics": First, there are two "Exegesis" articles, one for Acts 2 and one for John 7, a gospel option for the Day of Pentecost. The former is available under Share It! as a free sample. "Lesson and the Arts" Richard Eslinger recalls El Greco's painting "Pentecost" from circa 1600, which features women receiving the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. "Scripture and Screen" Dan R. Dick focuses on The Wizard of Oz, which reminds us that what we seek is within us. Likewise, God places "our heart's desire within us from the very day we were born" (p.45). "Preaching the Lesson" Anna Carter Florence meditates on John 7 and the idea of thirsting for living water. Jesus invites all of us to drink, but we humans tend to put stipulations on who is allowed to do so. We Christians are not to fixate on determining who is allowed but instead to care for the thirsty of all sorts. Florence also notes that Jesus himself thirsts from the cross and then, through death, gets to drink. His thristing is about far more than fulfilling scripture or feeling physically dehydrated from crucifixion. I am contemplating preaching on the third article of the Apostles' Creed, which concentrates on the Holy Spirit and her children: the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. As part of preaching about the Church, I could draw from the tradition of calling the Church "Mother." Speaking of water, being in the hot tub has made me crazy-thirsty. Thank you for the thirst and for leading me to drink, ever Yours in Christ, David von Schlichten, Lectionary Blog Moderator Beyond Labels 2008-05-07 by Steve Schuette Greetings to Alan. I grew up in St. Charles, and knew, second-hand, Dr. Conover, a predecessor at Lindenwood. His wife was my violin teacher….long, long ago. Some thoughts….the Spirit, at least for the Christian texts, seems deeply connected with resurrection. It is the ultimate "deed of power" that each in their own language are inspired to speak about. It "shakes lose" this power of God that otherwise might be a historically limited event and makes it an ongoing story. So what does that mean? It seems to me we are more into labels than perhaps ever before. We label "us" and "them," "good" and "bad," "citizen" and "immigrant" or even "alien." In light of modern experience isn't it astounding that such a diverse group should, centuries ago, hear a common message and affirm it together? Or maybe we think of all ancients as part of a monolithic culture. If so maybe we've lost the point of this story. In our group's lectionary study our discussion wandered to another group that carries a label: convicts. This is a label that sticks. The laws make sure that an individual never "once was" but will "always be" a convict, no matter how limited the crime or deep the rehabilitation. In fact, the virtual idea of rehabilitation seems gone from the discussion completely. What would it mean to take this text seriously, as well to take the Holy Spirit seriously? For beginners it might mean that all our cultural differentiations, even the most fixed and settled, need to give way to a new reality that changes everything: "them" and "us." Who is the Holy Spirit? More thoughts 2008-05-05 by Alan Meyers Yesterday I wrote about the Holy Spirit as the one who makes it possible to know Jesus. Here are some more thoughts for Pentecost. 2. The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Holy Trinity. The Spirit is the third way in which Christians experience the reality of God. The followers of Jesus had known God's presence in Jesus, whom they knew as "the Son" (Mt 11:27; Jn, passim). This, however, was already a new way of knowing God, whom people from a Jewish background had previously thought of as "Father" (Ps 68:5, 89:26, 103:13). Jesus, the Son, different from the Father, nevertheless enabled people to know the Father as never before (Mt 11:27). Now, at Pentecost, after the physical presence of Jesus had gone away, his followers experienced God in yet a third way, as the intimate personal power of the Holy Spirit. A difference in experiences of God points to a real difference within God's own being, else there is no true revelation of God at all, as Karl Barth insisted. Hence God really is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, not only for us but also in his own eternal being. The completeness of God's self-revelation at Pentecost will be celebrated next week, on Trinity Sunday. For now, however, at least one Trinitarian theological observation seems appropriate in light of today's readings, specifically Psalm 104:30. While the Spirit certainly is known by Christians as the one who comes to help them specifically in their weakness (Rom 8:26), he is also the hope of the whole creation (Rom 8:22-23). The works of the Trinity toward the creation are undivided. The Holy Spirit is active not only in redemption, but in creation. Hence there is no ground for confining the Spirit to a separate "spiritual" realm apart from the common round of everyday, physical life. The Spirit is the Creator and Lord of all life. The Spirit's power and presence can be known not only in the exhilaration of joyful worship and the quietness of personal prayer, but in daily work and play, in the company of family and friends, in the exercise of body and of mind. 3. It should go without saying, however, that the scripture readings for Pentecost show that the Spirit's activity and the knowledge of Jesus and the presence of God are experienced above all in the Christian community. The disciples on Pentecost were all together in one place (Acts 2:1). Paul emphasizes that "in the one Spirit we were all baptized into one body" (1 Cor 12: 13), and that the variety of gifts the Spirit gives are all given for the service of that one body, for the common good (v. 7).[First Page] [Prev] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 [Next] [Last Page] Login - (This login is for administrators and bloggers.

I have been doing Crossfit for 3 years. It is in my blood now, a part of my every day life like breathing and eating. I have two beautiful girls that I hope to inspire and they will continue in the same active lifestyle. I am recently married. I am a lil addicted to Crossfit ;) I try to work in a rest day but sometimes that is not easy, when I see a workout and think ooh! I wanna try that! I train a few girls, and I aspire to someday be a Crossfit coach. I tried for regionals last year and missed it by one so I am super excited to be participating this year!
How I Eat
I weigh and measure my food
I eat quality foods but don't measure the amount
I pretty much eat clean, not really paleo. And I have a love/hate relationship with chocolate :/

FIRMS ARE ENDANGERING their business model through a lack of contemporary succession planning, warns UHY Hacker Young's managing partner.
Ladislav Hornan (pictured) warns mid-tier firms that they need to embrace a more corporate ethos but also to address the worthiness of creating capital value and its payment through goodwill.
Further reading
He said that some mid-tier firm could struggle with succession planning because they have failed to place enough importance on commerciality and nurturing business development skills.
The managing partner, and chairman of global network UHY International, made the comments in an opinion piece on Accountancy Age, Succession is about more than planning.
He suggests in the article that firms need an up-to-date and carefully crafted partnership agreement to help tackle these issues.
"What all of these issues come down to is the need for long-term strategic planning, which is properly documented so as to make it very clear what will be expected in the future of the incoming younger generation and to avoid knee-jerk reactions to fundamental business issues," he wrote.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.

Male Nathusius' Pipistrelle Bat singing
12 September 2014
At a large mixed maternity roost of Nathusius' and Soprano pipistrelles in Northern Ireland, the males are busy trying to attract females with their songs. This boy had the cheek to sit right at the entrance to the roost so all the females had to go past him. He was a pretty loud and frantic singer so he probably got lucky.
You can see him opening his mouth as he makes each noise, but the camera could not pick up the very high-pitched sounds that he made.
Translated from Ecomare museum on Texel island in the Netherlands:
27 February 2015
You would not expect it, but bats also fly above the sea. Researchers have now shown that in the months of September and October they may even be found regularly in offshore wind farms. Probably the bats pass the windmills when they are migrating, but the researchers also conclude that they sometimes fly there from the continent to catch insects. Nathusius' pipistrelle was most heard around the windmills, but signals were also heard from common noctule bats.
The study took place in two wind farms off the coast of Egmond.

Frozen egg bank donor talks process
UPDATED 11:40 PM EST Feb 21, 2014An egg donor says she considers her dog her baby, and while she's never had a child of her own, there is a good chance that there are babies out there who are genetically hers. The 28-year-old has donated her eggs three times.
Video TranscriptAS WE SHOWED YOU LAST NIGHT, SOME DOCTORS SAY EGG BANKS ARE FORGING A NEW FRONTIER IN FERTILITY. WHO IS DONATING? ONE OF THE WOMEN BEHIND THIS PROCESS. SHE ASKED THAT WE NOT USE HER REAL NAME. SHE HAS DONATED EGGS THREE TIMES. IF SOMEONE WANTS HALF OF MY DNA I'M NOT USING THEM. HERE YOU GO. SHE EARNED $7,000 FOR EACH LOT OF EGGS. SHE LOOKED INTO THE PROCESS AFTER NOTICING THE ADS. IT DEFINITELY BUILDS INTEREST WHEN YOU ARE FIRST CONSIDERING DOING IT. ONCE YOU GET INTO THE SCREENING PROCESS YOU REALIZE THERE IS NO WAY YOU DO IT FOR JUST THE MONEY. YOU CAN'T. AMYLASE EGGS ARE HERE. POTENTIAL CANDIDATES ARE CAREFULLY SCREENED. WE ARE LOOKING FOR DONORS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 21 YEARS OLD AND 32 YEARS OLD. THEY GO THROUGH GENETIC SCREENING. INFECTIOUS DISEASE TESTING. DRUG SCREENING. THEY GO THROUGH PSYCHOLOGICAL COUNSELING. A VARIETY PEOPLE SEEK OUT DONOR EGGS FOR IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. WOMEN OVER 40 YEARS OLD TO SAME-SEX COUPLES. THEY CHOOSE CANDIDATES FROM ONLINE PROFILES. THEY RECEIVED 16 PAGES OF INFORMATION ON THE DONOR. THEY GET THE PROFILE AND THE PHOTOS. DONATING AN EGG DOES NOT IMPACT A WOMAN'S FERTILITY. IT LIMITS DONORS TO SIX CYCLES. SHE IS WILLING TO KEEP DONATING BECAUSE SHE CONSIDERS THE SHORT-TERM HOME ON -- HORMONE SHOTS WELL WORTH THE OUTCOME. IT HAS BEEN VERY LIFE ENHANCING. IT IS SOMETHING I'M VERY PROUD

Can Lions' offense rival NFC elite?
The addition of Reggie Bush makes Detroit's offense tough to stop
The Detroit Lions could not beat the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field even when the Packers rested Aaron Rodgers in Week 17 of the 2011 season; former Packers backup Matt Flynn threw six touchdowns in Green Bay's 45-41 victory. That Lions defeat, along with another one last season, kept Detroit winless at Lambeau since 1991. Progress has been made, but for the Lions to end the streak, they'll need more than Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson on offense. They're going to need another dimension, and for the first time in the Stafford era, they have one.
Reggie Bush is just getting started in Detroit, but already the versatile running back has been a game-changer for the Lions. In their latest conversation, ESPN.com's Mike Sando and Matt Williamson explain why Bush's addition marks a critical step in the Lions' quest to join Green Bay and New Orleans among the NFC's offensive elite.
Detroit plays at Green Bay on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.

Charged Polymers Transport under Applied Electric Fields in Periodic Channels

Abstract: By molecular dynamics simulations, we investigated the transport of charged polymers in applied electric fields in confining environments, which were straight cylinders of uniform or non-uniform diameter. In the simulations, the solvent was modeled explicitly and, also, the counterions and coions of added salt. The electrophoretic velocities of charged chains in relation to electrolyte friction, hydrodynamic effects due to the solvent, and surface friction were calculated. We found that the velocities were higher if counterions were moved away from the polymeric domain, which led to a decrease in hydrodynamic friction. The topology of the surface played a key role in retarding the motion of the polyelectrolyte and, even more so, in the presence of transverse electric fields. The present study showed that a possible way of improving separation resolution is by controlling the motion of counterions or electrolyte friction effects.

Drifting led me away...but I made it back today!!
Last year purchased a used Drift boat. After a lot of attention and work in getting it river ready and some personal touches and I must admit its hard to get away from the tailwater drift gig when theres no hiking involved.
Before. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ After. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ A day on the river with my 2 oldest http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ After seeing a Brown Trout portrait, attempted a boat wrap. It worked!! Whole different arena Drifting but had to get back to the mountains today. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ I thought the water would have been a lot cooler than the 65 degrees that we've seen in the Hiwassee. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ Wondered which came first.....the net or the rod when I looked back at this pic. http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ On my hike in, this was not where it was when I took the picture(middle of the trail). Just couldn't get close enough for a better picture. The weight inside caused the branch to lower it to the trail while I was fishing. The nest was a complete powerhouse of energy moving around on the ground!! http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47a3...D550/ry%3D400/ Anyway, great day in the mountains and I sure felt the effect of the hike after not hiking lately. Humbling to say the least. Thank You, Breck |
Nice report. The mountains just keep calling.
Great boat and a nice Walter Babb bamboo fly rod! Nice fish too!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you made it back into the mountains Breck! Those drift trips can definitely be addicting for sure but the mountains have their own charm as well...
Love the boat wrapper, yikes to the nest! Great shots, nice post
Great custom touch on the boat wrap! Tailwaters and boating are my favorite. I guess am not fond of rock hopping at my weight and size.:eek: You need to get you a nice trolling motor for your boat so you do not have to row. It allows me to fish more and be less spooky. |
Nice Job on the boat Breck, and good report.
John |
That boat is awesome. Congrats.
First the reel, and now the boat:eek:
You got a real Psychedelic scheme going:smile:. Guess you'll be easy to spot on the river. Now you will also have to worry about the locals trying to hook your boat reel it in and take it home:eek: They don't tend to care much about slot limits:rolleyes: And if the car gig doesn't work out, you can always just put on a cool T-shirt (probably can just take from your kids) like that young buck on Wicked Tuna, blast some Widespread Panic, and if you can continue to hook into the pigs you landed with Randy, start a show called Wicked Trout:biggrin: |
Awesome boat!!!!!!!!!!!

I work in a small commercial building where the front door is locked after 5.30pm every day. This means the only way out if I stay back is via the back door. I guestimate that the floor area of the building is about 1200 square metres, i.e. 600 ground floor and the same upstairs, and [...]
When checking my mail yesterday I noticed I had been left a couple of blue plastic bags. I assumed it was a Govt initiative to support a local charity, but on closer inspection noticed a link www.allroundrecycling.com.au
From what I can tell, the company collect the bags for item resale in third world countries.
In ten years [...]
Does anyone have a recommendation for an electrician who is able to work on Saturdays?
I'm in the inner south if that helps.
Sadly, the time has come, after decades of recurrent tonsillitis, I have been advised to have a tonsillectomy. However, I find the idea of two weeks post-operative pain, something I just do not want to endure.
Thanks to the joys of the internet, there are a couple of newer tonsillectomy techniques that have shorter recovery times, [...]
Another day, another report in the Canberra Times regarding a 'Mr Fluffy' house.
I am at a loss why the ACT Government has had very little to say on the 'Mr Fluffy' issue. For that matter, I'm surprised there has been very little in the way of posts on here regarding it too. Is everybody hoping [...]
I'm hoping that someone can point me to a butcher that sells mutton (sheep) not lamb. I'm looking for a butcher in the Canberra or Queanbeyan area?
Many thanks.
Looking for heavy drapes to install for both noise and thermal insulation for a house in Queanbeyan. Any recommendations for a place that will measure up, make and install them?
I'm after some advice / suggestions on a kitchen makeover and carpeting three of our bedrooms.
The background is we are looking at selling in two to three years time and not looking to spend lots just a bit to make it comfortable for us now and to look nice for the sale.
Three bedrooms all [...]
I'm thinking about buying a recliner / massage chair; has anyone got one?
I'd be interested in any recommendations or problems encountered.
I'm looking to change our old inefficient down lights to LEDs or Compact Fluros. A total 16 lights in all. Any Rioters have any experience (good or bad) in doing this type of work in the ACT or can anyone make any suggestions of local businesses who can supply and fit????

What If Companies Just Asked?

Separate data privacy and data use.
I finally figured out what bugs me about how my private information is used and abused by businesses large and small, legit and not-so-legit. Somewhere in the rush to the Internet, some dope decided it would be a good idea to cloak data use policies in a "privacy" statement. It was a great gimmick for the marketers. Consumers see a privacy bug on a companys Web site and think it means they can look around and be left alone. Marketers then collect tons of personal information and browsing habits, then let loose with the spam. If you want to play a dirty trick on a coworker, go to a mortgage brokerage site and use a "free" loan calculator in their name. Your coworkers e-mail account will be rendered useless before the end of the business day, clogged with offers to help him or her refinance. The question for businesses that want a long-term customer relationship is how to make this kind of spam more effective.
For example, instead of taking an adversarial relationship ("we will sell/trade/give away your personal information anytime we can make a dime"), conscientious enterprises should seek to strengthen customer privacy. Have simple privacy statements that
actually protect
privacy. Have separate "information sharing" agreements where customers can explicitly opt in and control how their personal informationincluding their e-mail addressis used. Businesses could also use technology to tailor campaigns, and
users to express preferences.
The results could be amazing. The Internet married P.T. Barnums old saw "theres a sucker born every minute" with Moores Law, resulting in a spectacular amount of spam. Corporate mail servers and networks are deluged with unwanted email because there are a few poor souls with e-mail addresses who appear to be interested in Viagra-like supplements and refinancing their house. The payoff spammers receive from having even a tiny percentage of these people respond to their cons and hoaxes is far greater than the current efforts most IT managers can muster today. Pending legislation like the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, introduced in the U.S. Senate in April, will also likely fail to control the spam bloom; in fact, I can imagine many ways in which CAN-SPAM will make the problem worse. For example, people who are not interested in Viagra-like supplements, but who got spammed with the e-mail for a "free sample," will likely start hitting the "unsubscribe" button because CAN-SPAM legislates that spam must provide a way to unsubscribe.
Not! Years of user and consumer training to never, ever, ever reply to junk e-mail could go down the tube. Nimble spammers running a quick-hit scam will be delighted to know that CAN-SPAM could provide them with tens of thousands of validated e-mail addresses. IT managers clearly need to get more involved in the business processes of their companies. Educate marketers and sales managers so they understand that technology can help focus their offerings to people and businesses that actually
to buy them. Helping customers make informed choices about how their private information is used, then harnessing that data to offer products and services people want, could turn out to be a great way to distinguish your company from the competition.
