ARRIETTY is the latest masterwork from the Academy Award®-winning Studio Ghibli. Based on Mary Norton's much-loved children's fantasy novel series THE BORROWERS, the story of ARRIETTY revolves around 14-year-old Arrietty and the rest of her family – a race of "tiny people" who live in peaceful anonymity under the floorboards as they make their own home from items 'borrowed' from the house's human inhabitants. However, life changes for Arrietty and her parents when a human boy named Sho stumbles upon Arrietty. As the relationship between the two develops, the inevitable risk of human interference begins to endanger the lives of Arrietty and her family. Now, Arrietty and Sho must work together to try and protect their way of life.

The National Security Agency did not deny it spies on Congress when pressed by Sen. Bernie Sanders in a letter to Gen. Keith Alexander, the outgoing director of the agency.
In the Jan. 3 letter, Sanders defined spying as "gathering metadata on calls made from official or personal phones, content from websites visited or emails sent, or collecting any other data from a third party not made available to the general public in the regular course of business."
The NSA, in damage control mode since June when leaks from former contractor Edward Snowden began detailing the agency's surveillance efforts of foreign citizens and Americans, responded to the inquiry Jan. 4 in a statement that tiptoed around Sanders' question but did not deny that the agency collects communications metadata from U.S. lawmakers.
"NSA's authorities to collect signals intelligence data include procedures that protect the privacy of US persons," the statement reads. "Such protections are built into and cut across the entire process. Members of Congress have the same privacy protections as all US persons. NSA is fully committed to transparency with Congress. Our interaction with Congress has been extensive both before and since the media disclosures began last June."
Whether that "interaction" includes NSA surveillance of lawmakers' communications was not directly addressed by the agency's reply, however.
"We are reviewing Senator Sanders's letter now, and we will continue to work to ensure that all members of Congress, including Senator Sanders, have information about NSA's mission, authorities, and programs to fully inform the discharge of their duties," the statement said.
In recent months, media reports – bolstered by information delivered by Snowden – have detailed how the NSA has been able to eavesdrop on leaders in Germany, Mexico, Brazil and a host of other allies.
Reports have also detailed how Americans' metadata are also gobbled up by the NSA's enormous surveillance systems, including those that tap into global fiber optic lines and others that harness data from tech companies such as Yahoo and Google. These actions particularly concerned Sanders, who cited in his letter a recent ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon that such dragnets by the NSA were likely unconstitutional and "almost Orwellian."
In late December, another judicial ruling – this one by U.S. District Court Judge William Pauley of New York – ruled that the NSA's phone spying was a reasonable tool to combat terrorism.
The privacy debate is sure to rage on politically and in the courts, but the NSA's non-denial that it spies on its overseers is likely to spark even closer attention from Congress.

Comments about Sherpa Seat Belt Covers - Set Of 2:
I like the softness of the cover. Now the shoulder strap doesn't cut into my neck.Could be a little longer.
Works great
By Bear

Adds to the comfort of wearing a seat belt.Fits nice, is soft.
Going to buy more
By Albumlover
from Hamburg, NY
Bought a set for my husband who drives over the road. No matter which vehicle he's driving, this provides comfort on any seat belt. I'm going to buy more as stocking stuffers so we can use them in our family autos.

Just the thing!
By kscarlett
from Nashville
I've had these before and have always liked them. Only one thing to watch for - sometimes your seat belt may not retract fully and might need a little attention to go back into place. Not too big a deal.
comfy belt pad
By budget watcher

Stop being annoyed by the seat belt rub. The soft pads make a ride enjoyable instead of having rubbed areas on your neck.

They work nicely but itch
By LaineyK
from Western Washington
When I sold my last car my real sheepskin neck protectors went with it; I think I am sorry to have purchased these because they are about as bad as the seatbelt. I am sorry to say that, but even after washing, they are scratchy. Will wash some more and hope the scrubber-pad surface gets softer.

Fly the friendly slots; New tax takes aim at slot routes
Unlike most states, Maryland hasn't hit the saturation mark and a bill to put a slot route into Thurgood Marshall Airport will probably have little effect on that. The slots will only be accessible to ticketed passengers, with the idea being to 'tax' out-of-state travelers for Free State infrastructure improvements. Not only has the airport stopped opposing the concept but the House Ways & Means Committee has new 13 members, at least some of whom could be receptive to the idea, which has been killed annually for the last six years, like some sort of legislative skeet shoot.
According to the Baltimore Sun, the city's airport would — if the legislation is passed — have more slot machines than McCarran International Airport. Look to thy laurels, Continued >>
Naughtiness at Las Vegas Sands; Caesars makes bankruptcy plan official
Sands China could have some stateside problems. Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez is mulling whether or not to slap Sands' wrist for tampering with evidence. The documents in question are part of a wrongful-termination lawsuit brought by former Sands China CEO Steven Jacobs, a case entering its hit sixth year. Gonzalez ordered that documents not be redacted but Sands, which often takes a high-handed attitude toward the judicial process, did it anyway, having hid the material in question for two years.
"We are here today because of a long series of misrepresentations," said Jacobs' attorney, Todd Bice, in support of the potential sanctions. Gonzalez also decreed the Macao Personal Data Protection Act irrelevant to the case. Sands General Counsel David Fleming countered that Continued >>
Caesars' wheel of pain
"Loveman 'fascinated' by complexities of High Roller," read one of today's headlines. Perhaps he ought to be more fascinated by the complexities of Caesars Entertainment's bankruptcy, of which he is the undisputed architect. The company announced quarterly earnings yesterday, losing a mere billion dollars compared to last year's $1.76 billion, helped by $9 million in unspecified cost cuts. The blow was softened by a 6% increase in revenue, though not much of that was attributable to gambling win, up 2%. Dining and drinking (+9%) and hotel rooms (+5%) were stronger drivers of financial performance. If there's one thing Caesars has been successful at, it's been in rebranding the "Four Corners" of the Las Vegas Strip as a dining/shopping/sightseeing destination, as the quarterly figures imply.
Caesars also credited "continuing strength in the company's interactive business, new Continued >>

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-cowboys-parcells&prov=ap&type=lgns August 4, 2006 OXNARD, Calif. (AP) -- A week into training camp, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells doesn't like what he's seen so far. "Things are not going well," Parcells said Friday. "I'm worried about that, and a little frustrated, with things in a couple of places where we should be better than what they are. But it's the first week of the season so I have to keep that in perspective as well." http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-cowboys-scrimmage&prov=ap&type=lgns Cowboys' offense salvages reputation in scrimmage: August 5, 2006 OXNARD, Calif. (AP) -- Even without Terrell Owens, the Dallas Cowboys' offense was able to hold its own against the defense in an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday. The offense scored on seven of nine 10-play series and got close enough to try a field goal on another. It was a respectable showing considering coach Bill Parcells has said for days that the offense was lagging behind the defense. There were some problems for the offense. For instance, the only drive that didn't come anywhere close to points was the first one, led by starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe against the first-team defense. There were three sacks in that drive, including two in a row to end it.
That's classic Parcells. Whereas Belichick is notoriously silent regarding team progress, Parcells has traditionally put a negative spin on things. It's his M.O. - or have we forgotten already.
If this was the Patriots, we would be saying, "It's only August 5th." Have you been to Patriots training camp? That offense isn't setting the world on fire either. Not sure what the point of this post is. It's the first week of training camp and in most cases, defenses are ahead of the offenses.
Exactley. The same thing is happening in both Cowboys and Patriots camp. Parcells reaction is, "I'm not sure we could beat a high school team right now with the way are offense looks." Belichick's reaction is, "It's only been a week. It is what it is." My guess is both Dallas and New England fan bases like their chances with who coaches their respective teams. Both teams are pretty much guaranteed 7 wins to start the year just because Parcells and Belichick will outsmart 7 other coaches. The rest comes down to talent, execution and injuries. Oh yeah, and officiating.
You got it - we seek out Billboard material about the Patriots. Parcells is the one who writes the billboard material about the teams he coaches.

text: The announcement of firefox-3.0.7 included the EOL for firefox-2. Upgrading an old system may prove interesting - e.g. cairo-1.6.0 is now the minimum requirement, and for current cairo-1.8.6 a current pixman is required. For anyone who needs to stay with ff2 in the short term, it is available in the current Long Term Support from ubuntu. Their firefox_220.127.116.11~tb.21+nobinonly.orig.tar.gz seems to be a CVS extract of the thunderbird tree. Their packaging of this is uncommon (a directory, containing the original .tar.bz2), but after extracting the contents and comparing it to 184.108.40.206, for _me_ it looks bona fide. It builds as firefox-188.8.131.52-pre (strangely, I seem to also have an empty /usr/lib/firefox-126.96.36.199/). They also have a patch for it, if I read that correctly it's just debianizing it and adding some ubuntu stuff. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce

OSS/Linux Sound Driver
Manufacturer: 4Front Technologies
Price: $20 US
Reviewer: Jeff Tranter
Open Sound System (OSS) is a kernel-level sound card driver offered for a number of Unix-compatible operating systems by 4Front Technologies. OSS/Linux is the version for Linux systems. It's not surprising that Linux is supported, as the code was based on, and is compatible with, the sound driver included in the Linux kernel. The code is written by the same author, Hannu Savolainen, who continues to maintain the free version (OSS/Free).
I took advantage of 4Front Technologies' free trial offer to download and run the product for five days. If you decide to purchase it you receive a software license key that allows the software to run permanently.
I also downloaded the latest release of OSS/Linux (3.8-beta1-961205). I installed the software on a 166 MHz Pentium system with 32 megabytes of RAM running Red Hat Linux 4.0 and the 2.0.28 kernel. The sound card was a Creative Labs SoundBlaster 16 (Plug-and-Play version).
The package comes as a compressed tar file containing installation instructions and an install program. To install the software you have to run the install program as root. This invokes a curses-based user interface that helps you install and configure the driver for the sound card. I found it straightforward to use; my sound card and settings were all automatically detected. The install program noticed that I had the standard Linux kernel sound driver module installed and informed me that I needed to disable it. Deleting the kernel-loadable module for sound did the trick.
Once installed, the sound driver is loaded using the supplied soundon script. The driver is implemented as several loadable kernel modules. A soundoff script unloads the driver, if desired. Once loaded you can then run any of the existing Linux sound applications.
I tried a number of sound applications to play and record sound samples, play MIDI and MOD files and operate the mixer. In general, everything operated identically to the standard sound driver included with the Linux kernel. It provides control of the DSP device, FM synthesizer, mixer and MIDI bus interface.
I did find one bug. Apparently the MIDI driver didn't clean up resources it used. If it was unloaded, loading again would report that the I/O port was in use. I reported this to Tech Support by e-mail and received a response back within a few hours.
I downloaded the beta release of OSS/Linux in order to try a new feature, SoftOSS. To understand it, you need some background on how computers synthesize sound.
The first generation of computer sound cards used a technique called FM synthesis to generate computer music. This method is low in cost and requires little CPU power, but the music generated sounds like it was created by a computer and not a musical instrument.
Sampling techniques use a digital-to-analog converter to generate sound. This method can be very effective, as the sound of actual musical instruments can be digitized and used as samples. The disadvantage is that the digital-to-analog converters are expensive, so sound cards typically provide only one or two. Typical low end sound cards today provide both sampling and FM synthesis capability.
Wavetable synthesis cards combine the best of both techniques. They offer a number of channels (32 being typical). Each channel has its own digital-to-analog converter and dedicated memory on the sound card for storing sound samples. Hardware on the sound card does much of the work of mixing and playing the samples. The only disadvantage of wavetable cards is that the additional hardware makes them considerably more expensive. One such card, the Gravis UltraSound, is supported by the standard Linux kernel sound driver.
SoftOSS provides software emulation of wavetable synthesis using only a low cost (non-wavetable) sound card. It does so by using the spare memory and processing power of the host computer. By implementing at the kernel level the same application programming interface as the Gravis Ultrasound card, it allows existing applications written for this card to work with low end sound cards. The only catch is that you need adequate memory and CPU power, but most systems today can meet this requirement (a 40MHz 486 with 16MB of RAM was the minimum needed for the pre-release software I reviewed).
I configured the SoftOSS driver using the setting for Pentium 100+ machines and tried using some Linux applications that previously required a Gravis Ultrasound wavetable sound card.
The gmod program is a player for music files in MOD format. It operated quite well. This was not particularly impressive, because there are a number of MOD players for non-wavetable cards (e.g., tracker) that work just as well with the standard kernel sound driver.
Playing MIDI files was more interesting. MIDI is a very popular music file format among musicians, but MIDI file players I've come across before used the FM synthesizer on my sound card. Using SoftOSS, the playmidi program, and sound sample "patch" files downloaded from the Internet, there was a dramatic improvement in sound quality as compared to using FM synthesis. It actually sounded like real musical instruments.
Note that at the time of writing, SoftOSS was still in a pre-release beta state, and may be an extra cost option when purchasing OSS/Linux. For a beta release it looked quite stable, the only problem being some minor glitches in the sound produced.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

jelena... :inlove:
identical scoreline to wozniacki match at AO
May 26th, 2009, 05:58 PM
Amazing Jelena! :hearts: Many important points for her ranking! :D :inlove:
Karolina :hug:
May 26th, 2009, 05:58 PM
Awesome result for Jelena :worship:
Great 2nd and 3rd sets too after a poor opener
Good luck vs. Demented in R2 :wavey:
May 26th, 2009, 05:58 PM
Pathetic from Karolina! :o
Congrats Dokic! :yeah:
May 26th, 2009, 05:58 PM
Match will be televised on Court Centrale :D
May 26th, 2009, 05:58 PM
Terrible first set from Jelena, gifted it to Sprem with her UE's.
Really got it together in the last two sets, hitting more winners and shrugging off the UEs. I think the wind bothered her and she just needed time to adjust.
Had some trouble closing it out as she failed to serve it out at 5-1 in third set.
Fantastic Jelena. I'm so happy.
Grand Slam 3 Set Queen? :lol:
(exact same score as against Wozniaki this match!)
Love you Jelena!!! :worship: :worship: :worship:

May 26th, 2009, 05:59 PM
Congrats. Similar scoreline to Maria's.;)
May 26th, 2009, 05:59 PM
Great result. Dokic is one of the only players that I'm rooting for this year. I was worried about this match, but she seemed to play well after a poor start.
May 26th, 2009, 06:00 PM
omg soo happy jelena:D played gr8 after 1st set!!
May 26th, 2009, 06:00 PM
Dokic v Dementieva... great matchup
May 26th, 2009, 06:01 PM
jelena :yeah: great 2nd and 3rd sets :D
good luck next round
May 26th, 2009, 06:01 PM
Phew was extremely worried after that awful first set. Her stats in the last two sets, however, were phenomenal!:drool:
Up next is Dementieva, and Dokic is a big match player. Such a throw back to the early 2000's should be a entertaining match.:)
May 26th, 2009, 06:01 PM
:lol: At all the threads that were first made, like 6!
YAY Jelena!! Great last two sets! Cant wait until her next match. :bounce:
I'd scream right now but its 3am, everyone is asleep!!

Jelena did a great job of eliminating all the unforced errors that cost her in the first set. Well done, welcome back to Paris! ;)
May 26th, 2009, 06:02 PM
:woohoo: :sobbing: so happy
May 26th, 2009, 06:02 PM
C'MON!!!!! *fist pump*
Nice match Jelena :hearts: After the first set, Sprem started spraying the ball a bit and that gave Jelena the confidence she needed to stop making stupid mistakes and take control. Conditions were tough, but Jelena did a better job with it as the match went on, the wind became less of a factor.
And as I suspected, Dokic was the player in control for the most part of this match. 19 winners to 13, 6 aces to 1. More UE's and DF's as well, but she was dictating. Not the greatest effort from Karolina after the first set, didn't play great tennis by any means. Hopefully she'll be rockin' it on the grass. Ajmo.
Now give Dementieva a nice match in the next round, Jeca! SHOO!!!!! :banana: :rocker2: :hearts:
May 26th, 2009, 06:02 PM
finally again a good win for Jelena!:)
good luck against Elena

I'm pretty sure Dokic beat Dementieva to win the Kremlin Cup. ;) You can do it Jelena!
May 26th, 2009, 06:08 PM
If Jelena plays well, I can see her winning against Dementieva, since Elena Dementieva can lose to anyone, literally anyone!!!!!
Good win vs slumping Sprem!! Now upset Dementieva!
May 26th, 2009, 06:09 PM

i think she can beat Elena :dance:

May 26th, 2009, 06:13 PM
Jelena saving her best for the slams! Well done :yeah:
If only she had a few more matches behind her I think the Dementieva match could be really good, let's hope Jelena is still able to make it close. Good blast from the past match, it better be on a stadium court.
May 26th, 2009, 06:13 PM
Congrats Jelena. :)
Karolina. :hug:
May 26th, 2009, 06:13 PM

Ok so after this 1set I was thinking she'll tank like in Warsaw and do a hit-or-miss thing again.
So when I saw 4:0 in 2nd I was like :eek: Of course got nervous when she lost Karolina's serve at 5:1 but luckily she held to 15. :worship::bounce:
Eurosport showed the mp and I liked it- was so simple, Karolina netted a fh return, Jelena pumped fist and gave a modest smile to herself o maybe to someone(Borna,Tino? guessing) so then she made a cross sign and looked to the sky before shaking hands with Karolina :)
So happy for her, gaining points, turning things around, proving me wrong, maybe it's something new after these really weird last months. Good luck against Lena D although I don't know who to cheer for :angel:
One stat-> Jelena had 28 errors today in 3sets, against Olaru she made 29 in one set ;)
May 26th, 2009, 06:35 PM
May 26th, 2009, 06:41 PM
klina :bigcry: but she made too many unforced errors :o
who knows what would happen if she didn't waste 30-40 in the first game and 40-15 in the second game of the first set or even 40-0 at 1-1 in the third :o :shrug:
anyway, klina didn't deserve win with such a bad play :sad: :shrug:
but congrats jelena :yeah:, good win for you :hug:
hope klina will recover soon :sobbing:

tennis ace
May 26th, 2009, 07:20 PM
Wooo! Well Done Jelena :)
May 26th, 2009, 07:33 PM
I got worried after she lost the first, but thankfully she regrouped and didnt pull a Warsaw.
I hope I get to see Jelena vs Elena :drool:
Jelena is 5-3 against Elena :eek:
I suppose thats one of the perks of not being on tour for about 4 years, you get to keep your good head-to-heads :lol:
Klina :hug:

Aww well done Jelena, good win :yeah: :kiss:
May 26th, 2009, 10:15 PM
Good win for Jelena :)
Good to see she didn't stop fighting.
Hopefully her match against Elena will be televised here and she can score the upset!

Just like Maria, struggled in the first then pulled it together in the final two sets. Good luck against Elena!
May 26th, 2009, 10:30 PM
Well done Jelena!!!!!
I hopew she can really push Elena D. next round

What a nice comeback for Jelly :yeah:
K-LINA :hug:

Way to go Jelena! Nothing to lose now against Dementieva, so just go for it! :D

May 26th, 2009, 11:55 PM
Tough gig in Round 2, she'll need to play out of her skin if she's to challenge Dementieva. But you never know what could happen.
May 26th, 2009, 11:56 PM
JELA! :inlove: Well done, so glad you fought this one out. This win will do huge things for her confidence at just the right time, right before she has to take on a top player! I think anything is possible if she can match it with Lena for power, which we know she can. Lena is almost always steady, though, so crazy UE from Jelena will keep her out of contention. She needs to have a great match, good luck!
May 26th, 2009, 11:59 PM
Good win, Jelena!:D;)
Now upset Dementieva, Jelena!:rocker:
May 27th, 2009, 12:16 AM
OMG :inlove:
Was so not expecting this, well done girl. :yeah:
May 27th, 2009, 12:20 AM
please beat dementieva
May 27th, 2009, 12:49 AM
Wow... what a comeback. After the 1st set, I taught "See ya in Wimbledon", but she didn't rolled over and won the match :love:
May 27th, 2009, 12:55 AM
really tough draw for Jelena but wow what a great comeback and an eventually easy win :) great job jelena! cant wait for tomorrow night as im sure she will be on tv here. :D
May 27th, 2009, 01:11 AM
Well done Jelena :yeah:

Great job Jelena!
May 27th, 2009, 05:17 AM
Jelena, really nice regroup after the first set. I was sooo afraid she would tank because she was playing so bad in the first. Thought K-lina helped give her some confidence. :p
I have a good feeling about a possible upset over Dementieva. Or hopefully it's not just wishful thinking. hmmm idk. Let's hope for a good match, regardless. :cool:
May 27th, 2009, 06:40 AM
I think Dokic's tanking days are over. :lol:
May 27th, 2009, 06:53 AM
Jelena :bounce: Thank God you won!
May 27th, 2009, 09:34 AM
I watched the match from the beginning and almost turned it off, but Set 2 and Set 3 Jelena were complete opposites of Set 1 Jelena. The first set was horrible, but then she found her range and really started hitting consistent deep groundies that Karolina just couldn't control. Congrats Jelena :kiss:
May 27th, 2009, 11:52 AM
not bad, not bad at all...

St. Catherine University received a $3.3 million grant to raise the profile and legacy of Catholic sisters.
St. Catherine University senior Helen Garcia interviewed Sister Vicky Larson, an assistant professor of nursing at St. Kate's. This was one of the first "oral histories" posted on the project's website, SisterStory.org.
Catholic sisters were always a bit of a mystery for Helen Garcia. She passed them in the hallways at St. Catherine University (St. Kate's) in St. Paul, but never had a personal conversation — until this month.
Now Garcia and new friend Sister Vicky Larson are pioneers in a national movement to make the public more aware of the work of America's Catholic sisters — and in the process, encourage young women to consider the calling.
St. Kate's is the national hub for an initiative to let the world know about nuns' contributions. Thanks to a $3.3 million grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, St. Kate's has launched a project that will pair sisters and students across the country, record nuns' oral histories and build
school curriculum. It also has built a website called SisterStory.org that will be a national repository of oral histories and other materials to demystify nuns and highlight their many contributions.
"As sisters chose not to wear the habit, they became less visible," said Molly Hazelton, co-executive director of the St. Kate's initiative. "There are more than 51,000 sisters in the United States today. We want to bring their stories to the forefront."
That said, there were 165,000 sisters in the United States in 1965, which makes growing religious orders the underlying priority of the grant. Breaking stereotypes is one way to do that.
"A lot of people have very small boxes in which they define sisters … that they are all teachers or nurses," said Sister Mary Soher, co-executive director of the project. "But sisters are poets, musicians, writers and lawyers. They respond to the needs of the people in housing, social services and as spiritual companions."
Catholic Sisters Week
About 200 sisters and students from 55 religious communities across the country descended upon St. Kate's in early March to help launch the initiative and to celebrate the first National Catholic Sisters Week. The week will be a permanent addition to National Women's History Month in March, and is another new idea of the Hilton foundation.
The $2.4 billion foundation may seem like an unlikely benefactor for sisters, created by a businessman best known for luxury hotels and a great-granddaughter who makes tabloid headlines. But the late Conrad Hilton was taught and inspired by nuns, and has supported their projects around the world for decades, said Sister Rosemarie Nassif, director of the Catholic Sisters Initiative at the California-based Hilton Foundation.
Last year, that support took a new turn, when sisters became a key priority and a new initiative was launched to deepen their impact around the globe. But to do that, the nuns would need to reinforce the troops. The time to do that is now, Nassif said.
"I believe that right now there are enough sisters in the U.S. who are active and vital on the front lines that can capture the hearts of young girls," said Nassif. "If we wait 10 years, that will be diminished."
Storytelling is key
Meanwhile, in quiet corners of campus, 10 sisters and their 10 student teammates are getting to know each other, Garcia and Larson among them. Last week, they sat down in a sunny conference room and began a process that — if all goes as planned — will happen in colleges across the country.
Garcia set up a video camera and microphone and sat in front of Larson, an upbeat assistant nursing professor at St. Kate's. The two had met for coffee a few times, but now Garcia was feeling nervous. She was creating an oral history of Larson that would be one of the first posted on SisterStory.org.
The website is both informative and interactive, offering features such as "ask a nun," "thank a nun" and "act like a nun."
Garcia, a senior majoring in social work, held 25 questions typed on a sheet of paper. She clicked on the video camera and began. "What attracted you to religious life? What's your favorite part about being a sister?" she asked.
Larson explained she grew up in North Dakota, went to college, participated in an exchange to England and worked in a hospital before taking final vows in 2006.

Raising their voices
By Joyce Rudolph
December 9, 2006
The Burbank Chorale's holiday concert has been given the theme "Echoes of Joy," which takes on multiple meanings for the event on Dec. 16 and 17 at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Glendale. The featured pieces are "Gloria" and "Cantus" by contemporary British composer John Rutter, said director Mikhail Shtangrud. "We have this great space now at St. Mark's Church and it has very live acoustics, beautiful acoustics," he said. "It truly lends itself to a concert with brass instruments."

This is also in regards about the dog shooting at 2500 Elmwood Ave. The owners, Avis Gyandzhyn and Alisa Abelian, as stated in the paper, were still playing very loud music at 10:30 to 11 p.m. This also is not the first time their music has kept people below awake. Hello. They live at the end of a long driveway at the top of the hill. In fact, it's the only house up there. At the side of the driveway below lives a longtime resident well into her 90s, and all the other houses below were disturbed.

A swingin' new scene
April 20, 2005
Rima Shah The smell of freshly polished wood and the sounds of faint laughter hit those who enter Great American Joe's Bar and Grill on any given afternoon. But the mellowness of a slow day cannot be mistaken for dullness. Joe's Bar and Grill, which opened in March on the 4300 block of Magnolia Boulevard, is swinging most nights. With a live band playing nearly every day, the restaurant offers affordable food with music and dancing from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

Dance Review:

Dance and music ignited in vivid colors, fire, pure sensuality and erotica in the ?Arabian Summer with Kaya & Sadie.? The description sounds like a scene out of some future episode of HBO?s hit series ?True Blood? or maybe a show on the Las Vegas strip. But no, it was right in the middle of Brand Boulevard in Glendale on Sunday night. Leela?s ?Arabia Exotica? Belly Dance Fantasy Theater turned up the heat on the stage of the Beyond the Stars Palace, and those in the audience were quite captivated by an experience filled with fantasy, theater, dance and mysticism.
Kids On Stage returns to Starlight Bowl
July 7, 2001
Joyce Rudolph, Weekend BURBANK -- Kids On Stage, the children's performing arts experience sponsored by the Burbank parks department, is returning this week to the Starlight Bowl in Burbank. Rob Bowers of Burbank is artistic director and master of ceremonies for the morning interactive workshop that continues for two weeks and is aimed for children 4 to 12. This year's theme is "The Music, The Mask and The Magic." Limpopo, a group that combines Russian folk music and American rock 'n' roll, is the featured attraction the first week, Bowers said.
Genius at work
January 26, 2000
Paul Andersen, Enjoy! GLENDALE -- This is the 76th season for the Glendale Symphony Orchestra, and Sidney Weiss was facing a bit of a dilemma. With only three concerts scheduled this year, the symphony's conductor/music director was very concerned with the level of musical content in his programming. "Quite simply I was looking for pieces that are moving and inspirational, that would make for the best concerts," he says. "Of course," he adds, "the music of Mozart just happens to fit in that category."

Reported by Audree Steinberg:
No matter how much pet owners love their dogs, cleaning up after them is a not-so-lovable task. To make it easier, a Minnesota man and his 9-year-old son invented the Pooch Power Shovel.
Weighing a mere 4 ¼ pounds, the Pooch Power Shovel works by vacuuming dog-droppings. The waste is collected into a special biodegradable bag, making it unnecessary to clean the device. With a 22,000 rpm motor and a rechargeable battery, the Pooch Power Shovel can remove all dog waste, no matter its size or texture. The vacuum also works on any surface, including grass, gravel, concrete and carpet.
Tory Reynolds and his son, Connor, got the idea for this gadget in April of 2006, after they'd been up all night trying to invent a golf tee. Inspiration struck the next morning, when Reynolds heard local residents griping on a radio show about dog waste..
"After a whole winter in Minnesota, the snow melts and dog poop is everywhere. Everyone's yards are messes. I turned to my wife and said, 'I think I have a way to fix that!'" Reynolds told ABCNews.com.
He considered the difficulty of picking up dog waste. Since his mother has arthritis, and several of his family members have bad knees, Reynolds wanted to make it easier for his family and neighbors to clean their yards.
He immediately thought of a golf shag bag combined with a leaf blower that possessed sucking power. But he thought the container should be on the bottom of the device instead of on top, the opposite configuration of a conventional leaf blower.
Reynolds and son Connor soon began building prototypes, experimenting with different materials and equipment, including a pretzel container, a leaf blower and duct tape.
"It really was the best time, just inventing with him [Connor]. We just did it. There were no right or wrong answers. … He's literally a co-inventor. He came up with great ideas at 4 and 5," Reynolds said.
Despite the cost-efficiency in overseas production, Reynolds defied investors' advice and chose to manufacture the Pooch Power Shovel in the United States. This made it hard to find investors, particularly in 2008, with the economic downturn.
"We just wanted to … keep it close to home," Reynolds said.
The Reynolds' device has not only caught the favor of the public. Big investors have changed their tune and are currently showing interest in the Pooch Power Shovel, Reynolds said. According to KSTP-TV, ABC's Minneapolis/Saint Paul affiliate, 2,500 can be found in such stores as Cabela's, Gordmans and Bed, Bath and Beyond.
"It's been a bumpy road but we're finally taking off," Reynolds said.
It's gone so well that Reynolds has another invention planned for next Christmas, but this time he's working with his 8-year-old daughter, Taylor.
"The Power Shovel waited a year in the basement before we brought it to life," said Reynolds. "You should see the cool inventions we have down there, just waiting for the right time!"

Excessive and inappropriate speeding is--according to the ACPO2 Road Policing Strategy--one of the four key behaviours which contribute to avoidable deaths and injury by making collisions more likely, and by making the resultant injuries worse.3 Although the imposition of a specific speed limit is a matter for legisla-tion4 (either primary or in regulations and orders), the enforcement of those limits is an operational matter for the police force involved. Since the Road Traffic Act 1991, increasing reliance has been placed on the use of automatic devices for detecting speeding offences.5 One of these devices, the speed camera, does not enjoy universal popularity; its use tends to evoke strong emotive feelings whether they are of support or condemnation. The camera detects and gathers the initial evidence which is then used to initiate the process of prosecution and punishment. A fixed penalty ticket procedure is available for offences of speeding detected by a camera, and it is common for the alleged offender never to experience any form of real human interaction with the prosecuting authorities from the moment of offending through to the conclusion, whatever that may be.6 The details of the offence are provided by the output of the machine and it is the machine that proves the facts of the offence. The system is unarguably administratively efficient and cost-effective, but are there any other costs or consequences that follow from relying on an almost totally mechanised and robotic system of law enforcement?

Two-Bit Mathews
Character Analysis
Two-Bit is the jokester of the gang and, at eighteen, also one of the oldest (just behind Darry). He talks non-stop and has a smart comment about everything, no matter whom he's talking to, even if it's the police. Although he's a ladies' man, full of racy stories, and dabbles in petty thievery, Two-Bit seems like a warm-hearted guy, at least in terms of the people he cares about.
Two-Bit doesn't directly drive any of the action of the plot, even though he's involved in much of it. And although he gives Dallas a knife in the hospital, the knife doesn't play a role in the story's outcome, unlike the knife Johnny uses to kill Bob. Still, Two-Bit helps us get a sense of Pony's world and the variety of people in it.

Butler Bulldogs (4-1)
@23 UCLA Bruins (2-3)
Friday, November 27
Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, CA
Attendance: 3,027
Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Gordon Hayward scored 11 points and made a pair of foul shots with 0.6 seconds left in the game to give 12th-ranked Butler a 69-67 victory over UCLA in the consolation round of the 76 Classic at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Hayward also had eight rebounds for the Bulldogs (4-1), who were upended by 22nd-ranked Minnesota, 82-73, in the first round on Thursday. Shelvin Mack added 21 points and five rebounds for Butler, which won despite shooting 39.6 percent from the field.
Nikola Dragovic tallied 14 points and six rebounds for the Bruins (2-3), who lost 74-47 to the University of Portland in the first round on Thursday. Malcolm Lee chipped in 11 points and four assists for UCLA, which shot 47.2 percent from the floor.
A pair of Mack free throws put Butler ahead 64-60 with 1:23 remaining. Lee's jumper with less than 30 seconds on the clock cut the gap to two. But Zach Hahn made two free throws at the other end to make it a four-point game again.
UCLA wouldn't go away as Jerime Anderson made a layup with 14 ticks left to make it 66-64. Mack made 1-of-2 from the line to make it a three-point game with just 12.4 seconds remaining.
Anderson then made a three-pointer from the top of the arc to tie things at 67 with 8.6 seconds to play. At the other end, Hayward was fouled while driving to the hoop with 0.6 ticks left. Hayward sank both foul shots to seal the victory for Butler.
"I was just doing what I could to get the team the win," said Hayward. "I didn't realize there was so much time left on the clock when I got the ball. I just tried to hold on to the ball and move down the court."
Ahead 14-11 nine minutes into the first half, Butler ripped off seven straight points. Hayward nailed a three-pointer before Willie Veasley hit a pair from the foul line to give the Bulldogs a 21-11 lead with 9:14 to go.
Brendan Lane's personal 6-0 run had the Bruins within 32-28 with 4:23 left. UCLA's deficit was 42-35 at the break.
The Bruins were able to prevent the Bulldogs from pulling away in the second half and kept things close until the final seconds.
"We're a team that's catching up late right now because of injuries and because of things that happened earlier in the season," said UCLA coach Ben Howland. "Our practices really put us behind. This Sunday will be our sixth game in 13 days, we need more opportunity to practice right now, but if we continue to work this hard and practice, we'll be a much better team."
