St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Cohasset, Mass., is one of eight congregations participating in the Biblical Preaching Project within Luther Seminary's Vibrant Congregations Project grant. According to the congregation's profile, St. Stephen's is a middle- to upper-class suburb, ethnically homogenous (Caucasian) and is a diverse parish when it comes to age and to theological outlook.
Here's an excerpt from their profile:
Challenge #2: The "Time" Challenge
Too much busyness and activity is a big issue in this ministry context: parents running kids to all sorts of activities, people working long hours. This challenge intersects with preaching when the preacher gives "homework"; that is, a specific task or practice for the coming week. The challenge is helping people reorder their priorities so that they have more time for the relationship with God, which, in the long run, will help them with the challenge as a whole.

About this font family
In 1903 faced with the welter of sans offered by ATF, Morris Fuller Benton designed News Gothic, a 20th Century standard.
In 1995 Tobias Frere-Jones studied drawings in the Smithsonian and started a redesign. Cyrus Highsmith reviewed News Gothic, and with the Font Bureau studio expanded it into Benton Sans, a far reaching new series, with matched weights, widths and performance well beyond the limits of the original.
Among other uses, Benton Sans is recommended for Newspaper, Magazine, Book and Corporate use.

without state
-- a short-cut to a parallel universe
Major Section: MISCELLANEOUS
Example Form: (wormhole t 'interactive-break nil '(value 'hi!)) ; Enters a recursive read-eval-print loop ; on a copy of the ``currentThe keyword arguments above are exactly those ofstate
'' and ; returns nil!General Form: (wormhole pseudo-flg name input form :current-package ... ; known package name :ld-skip-proofsp ... ; t, nil or 'include-book :ld-redefinition-action ; nil or '(:a . :b) :ld-prompt ... ; nil, t, or some prompt printer fn :ld-keyword-aliases ... ; an alist pairing keywords to parse info :ld-pre-eval-filter ... ; :all, :query, or some new name :ld-pre-eval-print ... ; nil, t, or :never :ld-post-eval-print ... ; nil, t, or :command-conventions :ld-evisc-tuple ... ; nil or '(alist nil nil level length) :ld-error-triples ... ; nil or t :ld-error-action ... ; :continue, :return, or :error :ld-query-control-alist ; alist supplying default responses :ld-verbose ...) ; nil or t
(see ld)
except that three of ld
's keyword arguments are missing: the three
that specify the channels standard-oi
, standard-co
and proofs-co
Essentially wormhole
is just a call of ld
on the current state
the given keyword arguments. Wormhole
always returns nil
. The
amazing thing about wormhole
is that it calls ld
and interacts with
the user even though state
is not available as an argument!
does this by manufacturing a ``wormhole state,'' a copy of
the ``current state'' (whatever that is) modified so as to contain
some of the wormhole arguments. Ld
is called on that wormhole state
with the three ld
channels directed to ACL2's ``comment window.'' At
the moment, the comment window is overlaid on the terminal and you
cannot tell when output is going to *standard-co*
and when it is
going to the comment window. But we imagine that eventually a
different window will pop up on your screen. In any case, the
interaction provided by this call of ld
does not modify the state
``from which'' wormhole was called, it modifies the copied state
When ld
exits (e.g., in response to :
being typed in the comment
window) the wormhole state evaporates and wormhole
returns nil
Logically and actually (from the perspective of the ongoing
computation) nothing has happened except that a ``no-op'' function was
called and returned nil
The name wormhole
is meant to suggest the idea that the function
provides easy access to state
in situations where it is apparently
impossible to get state
. Thus, for example, if you define the
function, say, except that you sprinkled into its body
appropriate calls of wormhole
, then the execution of (factorial 6)
would cause interactive breaks in the comment window. During those
breaks you would apparently be able to inspect the ``current state''
even though factorial
does not take state
as an argument. The whole
notion of there being a ``current state'' during the evaluation of
(factorial 6)
is logically ill-defined. And yet, we know from
practical experience with the sequential computing machines upon
which ACL2 is implemented that there is a ``current state'' (to
which the factorial
function is entirely insensitive) and that is
the state to which wormhole
``tunnels.'' A call of wormhole
within factorial
can pass factorial
-specific information that is
embedded in the wormhole state and made available for inspection by
the user in an interactive setting. But no information ever flows
out of a wormhole state: wormhole
always returns nil
There are some restrictions about what can be done inside a wormhole. As you
may imagine, we really do not ``copy the current state'' but rather just keep
track of how we modified it and undo those modifications upon exit. An error is
signalled if you try to modify state
in an unsupported way. For this same
reason, wormholes do not allow updating of any user-defined single-threaded
objects. See stobj.
There are four arguments to wormhole
that need further explanation:
, name
, input
, and form
. Roughly speaking, the value of
should be t
or nil
and indicates whether we are actually
to enter a wormhole or just return nil
immediately. The actual
handling of pseudo-flg
is more sophisticated and is explained in
detail at the end of this documentation.
and input
are used as follows. Recall that wormhole
copies the
``current state'' and then modifies it slightly to obtain the state
upon which ld
is called. We now describe the modifications. First,
the state
global variable 'wormhole-name
is set to name
, which may
be any non-nil
ACL2 object but is usually a symbol. Then,
is set to input
, which may be any ACL2 object.
Finally, and inexplicably, 'wormhole-output
is set to the value of
the last time a wormhole named name
was exited (or
if this is the first time a wormhole named name
was entered).
This last aspect of wormholes, namely the preservation of
, allows all the wormholes of a given name to
communicate with each other.
We can now explain how form
is used. The modified state
above is the state
on which ld
is called. However, standard-oi
the input channel from which ld
reads commands -- is set so that the
first command that ld
reads and evaluates is form
. If form
an error triple with value :
, i.e., form
returns via (value :q)
then no further commands are read, ld
exits, and the wormhole exits
and returns nil
. But if form
returns any other value (or is not an
error triple), then subsequent commands are read from the comment
As usual, the ld
-specials affect whether a herald is printed upon
entry, whether form
is printed before evaluation, whether a prompt
is printed, how errors are handled, etc. The ld
-specials can be
specified with the corresponding arguments to wormhole
. It is
standard practice to call wormhole
so that the entry to ld
and the
evaluation of form
are totally silent. Then, tests in form
inspect the state
and decide whether user interaction is desired.
If so, form
can appropriately set ld-prompt
, ld-error-action
, etc.,
print a herald, and then return (value :invisible)
. Recall
(see ld) that (value :invisible)
causes ld
not to print a value
for the just executed form. The result of this arrangement is that
whether interaction occurs can be based on tests that are performed
on the wormhole state after (@ wormhole-input)
and the last
(@ wormhole-output)
are available for inspection. This is
important because outside the wormhole you can access
(you are passing it into the wormhole) but you may
not be able to access the current state
(because you might be in
) and you definitely cannot access the wormhole-output
the last wormhole because it is not part of the ACL2 state
. Thus,
if the condition under which you wish to interact depends upon the
or that part of it preserved from the last wormhole
interaction, that condition can only be tested from within the
wormhole, via form
It is via this mechanism that break-rewrite
(see break-rewrite)
is implemented. To be more precise, the list of monitored runes is
maintained as part of the preserved wormhole-output
of the
wormhole. Because it is not part of the normal state
it may be changed by the user during proofs. That is what allows
you to install new monitors while debugging proofs. But that means
that the list of monitored runes cannot be inspected from outside
the wormhole. Therefore, to decide whether a break is to occur when
a given rule is applied, the rewriter must enter the break-rewrite
wormhole, supplying a form that causes interaction if the given
rule's break condition is satisfied. The user perceives this as
though the wormhole was conditionally entered -- a perception that
is happily at odds with the informed user's knowledge that the list
of monitored runes is not part of the state
. In fact, the wormhole
was unconditionally entered and the condition was checked from
within the wormhole, that being the only state in which the
condition is known.
Another illustrative example is available in the implemention of the
command. How can we add a new rune to the list of monitored
runes while in the normal ACL2 state
(i.e., while not in a
wormhole)? The answer is: by getting into a wormhole. In
particular, when you type (monitor rune expr)
at the top-level of
ACL2, monitor
enters the break-rewrite
wormhole with a cleverly
designed first form
. That form adds rune and expr
to the list of
monitored runes -- said list only being available in break-rewrite
wormhole states. Then the first form returns (value :q)
, which
causes us to exit the wormhole. By using ld
-specials that
completely suppress all output during the process, it does not
appear to the user that a wormhole was entered. The moral here is
rather subtle: the first form supplied to wormhole
may be the entire
computation you want to perform in the wormhole; it need not just be
a predicate that decides if interaction is to occur. Using
wormholes of different names you can maintain a variety of
``hidden'' data structures that are always accessible (whether
passed in or not). This appears to violate completely the
applicative semantics of ACL2, but it does not: because these data
structures are only accessible via wormhole
s, it is impossible for
them to affect any ACL2 computation (except in the comment window).
As one might imagine, there is some overhead associated with
entering a wormhole because of the need to copy the current state
This brings us back to pseudo-flg
. Ostensibly, wormhole
is a
function and hence all of its argument expressions are evaluated
outside the function (and hence, outside the wormhole it creates)
and then their values are passed into the function where an
appropriate wormhole is created. In fact, wormhole
is a macro that
permits the pseudo-flg
expression to peer dimly into the wormhole
that will be created before it is created. In particular,
allows the user to access the wormhole-output
that will
be used to create the wormhole state.
This is done by allowing the user to mention the (apparently
unbound) variable wormhole-output
in the first argument to wormhole
Logically, wormhole
is a macro that wraps
(let ((wormhole-output nil)) ...)around the expression supplied as its first argument. So logically,
is always nil
when the expression is
evaluated. However, actually, wormhole-output
is bound to the
value of (@ wormhole-output)
on the last exit from a wormhole of
the given name (or nil
if this is the first entrance). Thus, the
expression, while having to handle the possibility
that wormhole-output
is nil
, will sometimes see non-nil
values. The next question is, of course, ``But how can you get away
with saying that logically wormhole-output
is always nil
actually it is not? That doesn't appear to be sound.'' But it is
sound because whether pseudo-flg
evaluates to nil
doesn't matter, since in either case wormhole
. To make that point slightly more formal, imagine that
did not take pseudo-flg
as an argument. Then it
could be implemented by writing
(if pseudo-flg (wormhole name input form ...) nil).Now since wormhole always returns
, this expression is
equivalent to (if pseudo-flg nil nil)
and we see that the value
of pseudo-flg
is irrelevant. So we could in fact allow the user
to access arbitrary information to decide which branch of this if to
take. We allow access to wormhole-output
because it is often all
that is needed. We don't allow access to state
(unless state
available at the level of the wormhole call) for technical reasons
having to do with the difficulty of overcoming translate
prohibition of the sudden appearance of the variable state
We conclude with an example of the use of pseudo-flg
. This example
is a simplification of our implementation of break-rewrite
. To
enter break-rewrite
at the beginning of the attempted application of
a rule, rule
, we use
(wormhole (and (f-get-global 'brr-mode state) (member-equal (access rewrite-rule rule :rune) (cdr (assoc-eq 'monitored-runes wormhole-output)))) 'break-rewrite ...)The function in which this call of
occurs has state
as a
formal. The pseudo-flg
expression can therefore refer to state
determine whether 'brr-mode
is set. But the pseudo-flg
above mentions the variable wormhole-output
; this variable is not
bound in the context of the call of wormhole
; if wormhole
were a
simple function symbol, this expression would be illegal because it
mentions a free variable.
However, it is useful to think of wormhole
as a simple function that
evaluates all of its arguments but to also imagine that somehow
is magically bound around the first argument so that
is the output of the last break-rewrite
If we so imagine, then the pseudo-flg
expression above evaluates
either to nil
or non-nil
and we will enter the wormhole named
in the latter case.
Now what does the pseudo-flg
expression above actually test? We
know the format of our own wormhole-output
because we are
responsible for maintaining it. In particular, we know that the
list of monitored runes can be obtained via
(cdr (assoc-eq 'monitored-runes wormhole-output)).Using that knowledge we can design a
expression which
tests whether (a) we are in brr-mode
and (b) the rune of the
current rule is a member of the monitored runes. Question (a) is
answered by looking into the current state
. Question (b) is
answered by looking into that part of the about-to-be-created
wormhole state that will differ from the current state
. To
reiterate the reason we can make wormhole-output
available here
even though it is not in the current state
: logically speaking the
value of wormhole-output
is irrelevant because it is only used to
choose between two identical alternatives. This example also makes
it clear that pseudo-flg
provides no additional functionality.
The test made in the pseudo-flg
expression could be moved into
the first form evaluated by the wormhole -- changing the free
variable wormhole-output
to (@ wormhole-output)
and arranging
for the first form to return (value :q)
when the pseudo-flg
expression returns nil
. The only reason we provide the
feature is because it allows the test to be carried
out without the overhead of entering the wormhole.
Wormholes can be used not only in :
mode definitions but also
in :
mode definitions. Thus, it is possible (though somewhat
cumbersome without investing in macro support) to annotate logical
functions with output facilities that do not require state
. These
facilities do not complicate proof obligations. Suppose then that
one doctored a simple function, e.g., APP, so as to do some printing
and then proved that APP is associative. The proof may generate
extraneous output due to the doctoring. Furthermore, contrary to
the theorem proved, execution of the function appears to affect
*standard-co*. To see what the function ``really'' does when
evaluated, enter raw lisp and set the global variable
*inhibit-wormhole-activityp* to t.

Hybrid yacht combines diesel, solar and wind power
Article Summary
Island Pilot has used this year's Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show to debut its new hybrid motoryacht - the DSe Hybrid12m. Combining diesel, solar and electric power (hence "DSe") and with wind-power to be added to the production model, the 40ft vessel can take advantage of a sunny day by cruising at speeds of up to six knots indefinitely using only solar power. Not only does this save fuel, it eliminates the rumble of diesel engines to bring one of pure-sailing's greatest attractions to the motoryacht format - silence.

The world lost a musical giant on Monday, August 5, when genre-crossing keyboardist and producer George Duke passed away at age 67 after a battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), as reported by his label Concord Records.
All month long in New York City, Lincoln Center has been hosting a fantastic series of free concerts in their outdoor bandshell, with a very eclectic lineup. Last Friday, they focused on the worldly traditions of Carnaval. Of course, there's no one better to carry the New Orleans Carnaval torch than the legendary Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and his Golden Eagles. An elder statesman of the Mardi Gras Indian tradition, Monk has the strength and leadership of a tribal chief with the ancient wisdom and worldly intuitiveness of a true medicine man, and a great ear for music to round it out. He uplifted and inspired the crowd at Lincoln Center with his unique songs, delivered wonderfully by a great band and noble stature on stage, adorned in a bright yellow headdress and scaled-down suit that bolstered some splendidly sewn beaded patches. I was happy to recognize old friends Joe Gelini holding it down on drums and boogie-woogie professor Tom Worrell on keys. The band sounded great. Monk also had his old friend's son Bo Dollis Jr. onstage singing backup and sporting a gorgeous bright blue-feathered suit with some lovely beaded patches. To those in the crowd who'd never seen a Mardi Gras Indian, Monk and the boys gave them quite a memorable experience that will no doubt stay with them for years to come, and for me, a New Orleanian "in exile", who has marched many miles with the Big Chief on the streets of New Orleans, it was very cool to see him perform in such a different setting and see a different crowd react to Monk's wonderful gifts.

O's put resiliency to test in Game 2 vs. Yankees
Pettitte, Chen square off as Bombers seek commanding ALDS lead
That time is over.
A loss in Game 1 of the ALDS has put the resilient O's up against it once again. When they play the Yankees in Game 2 on Monday night, they'll be fighting to keep the series competitive. If New York makes it a 2-for-2 sweep at Camden Yards, the Yanks will need to win only one of three straight home games in order to advance.
The division champs would like their odds an awful lot in that situation.
"You want one [win], but now we're going to get greedy and ask for two," Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira said. "It's that old cliche, one game at a time. You definitely don't want to lose the first two here, obviously, then you put yourself behind the eight ball going back home. One win's important, but we definitely want that second one tomorrow."
It will be a battle of left-handers in prime time when the series continues on Monday. That's about all the two starting pitchers have in common, though.
The Yankees will trot out venerable Andy Pettitte, the 40-year-old October icon, for his 43rd career postseason start. Pettitte has been around so long that he's pitched at Camden Yards in the playoffs before -- back in the 1996 AL Championship Series.
The Orioles will counter with Wei-Yin Chen, a native of Taiwan who is in his first year in the Major Leagues. Chen had a strong year in his Orioles debut, but he's never pitched in a game like this one. It's not quite do-or-die for the Orioles, but it's close.
"I definitely think we need to get a win while we're here," Orioles outfielder Chris Davis said. "It's big to win in front of your home fans, and obviously going on the road is going to be tough. But no, it's not a must-win."
New York will hope to drop some early runs on Chen and play with a lead, taking the Camden crowd and the Baltimore relief corps out of the equation. The Yankees repeatedly threatened on Sunday, tallying 10 hits and seven walks, but had trouble converting opportunities before a five-run ninth.
"Playoffs are all about getting the hits in the situation," said Robinson Cano, who doubled in two runs in the ninth. "I know I was 0-for-4 [before the double], but that's what you want to go through. I'll take the 0-for-4 to get a hit in a big situation."
The O's, meanwhile, will be looking to get back to the formula that served them so well all season, and that almost delivered again on Sunday. Get enough starting pitching to keep it close, scratch out enough wins to be in the game at the end, and rely on a deep bullpen to bring it home.
"I don't have any doubt what type of mentality our guys will have as we go forward in this series," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said."
Yankees: Swisher surge?
A year ago, Nick Swisher got on base five times in a five-game ALDS loss to the Tigers. He's already more than halfway to that mark after one game of this year's series.
The switch-hitting outfielder has endured a slew of playoff frustration in his career, with a lifetime .169 postseason batting average coming into this year. But on Sunday, he singled in a run and drew two walks, perhaps an indication that things are going to turn around for him.
"We drew a lot of walks today, just trying to get these guys in the strike zone," Swisher said. "They've got great stuff, and you don't want to be adding any strikes if you don't have to."
Swisher ended the regular season on a tear, giving reason to think he could have a strong postseason. He was 24-for-59 (.407) with 14 walks for a .521 on-base percentage over his last 16 games.
"Just been rolling along," he said. "Not really thinking about it."
The Yankees' lineup against Chen will likely have a little bit of a different look, as compared to both Game 1 of the ALDS and to matchups with lefties in the regular season.
It's likely that Raul Ibanez, who started at designated hitter against Jason Hammel, will not reprise that role against a left-hander. However, the man who often slid into the lineup against lefties, Andruw Jones, is not on the roster for this series.
Manager Joe Girardi has a couple of options, but one possibility would be to go with Eduardo Nunez for the open lineup spot. Nunez, an infielder by trade, has hit .298 and slugged .436 against lefties in his career.
Teixeira, who limped to the finish of the regular season, also gave the Yankees reason for optimism on Sunday. He collected two singles, a walk and an RBI.
That follows a 1-for-12 finish to the season. Those 12 at-bats were all Teixeira got to end the year after losing 30 games due to a calf injury.
Orioles: Chen on extra rest
Chen will be pitching on six days' rest when he takes the mound on Monday, and that's a good omen for the home team. He's been more effective on longer rest this season.
When pitching on five or more days' rest in 2012, Chen has 76 strikeouts against 26 walks, a 2.92 ratio, and he has a 3.64 ERA in those games. When pitching on four days' rest, he has a 4.39 ERA and a 2.52 strikeout-to-walk ratio. That may provide a counter to what has been a difficult matchup for him against the Yankees.
"I don't think the extra days or anything will confuse me or anything," Chen said through an interpreter on Sunday. "I just want to do my job and do my part and give everything out there and just pitch the ball."
The Orioles pride themselves on resilience. They have lost consecutive games just twice since mid-August.
"This is a very realistic club that lives in reality but they also understand the sense of urgency," Showalter said. "You can sit here and say you got beat by a real good quality pitcher tonight, but that's why teams like that are playing this time of year. We have good quality pitchers, too.
The Orioles' bullpen, a key part of the team's success in 2012, has a couple of added pieces for this series. Joe Saunders and Chris Tillman, who contributed quite a bit as starters down the stretch, are both available in relief for the early part of the series. Either Saunders or Tillman could be considered for a potential Game 4 start if the series goes that far.
Worth noting
Orioles Shortstop J.J. Hardy is 1-for-17 lifetime against Pettitte, with a triple for his only hit.
Chen allowed six homers in four starts spanning 24 innings against the Yankees this year.
The Yankees hit 78 homers against lefties this year, 16 more than any other AL team. The Orioles, who finished second to New York in homers in the AL overall, were eighth in homers against lefties with 51.

PATRIOT Act Extension Bill Would Also Expand Death Penalty Laws
March 21, 2011 - by Donny ShawSince the mid 90s, federal death penalty statutes have been slowly but steadily expanding to include more and more offenses within their reach. With the committee-amended PATRIOT Act reauthorization bill that's headed for floor votes in the next few weeks, Congress appears ready to expand the death penalty once again. This time, they're looking at applying the death penalty to people convicted of providing material support for acts of terrorism that result in deaths.
The language was added to the bill during the March 10 mark-up session as an amendment from Judiciary Committee member Sen. Chuck Grassley [R, IA] (pictured) over opposition from the committee's chairman, Sen. Pat Leahy [D, VT]. Leahy said that he was not opposed to the amendment on principle, but that he believed it went too far beyond the scope of the underlying legislation. "This is a surveillance bill […] not a criminal code bill," Leahy argued. Grassley was ultimately able to overcome Leahy's opposition when Sen. Dianne Feinstein [D, CA] and Sen. Charles Schumer [D, NY] crossed the aisle to vote with the Republicans against a Leahy motion to table the amendment. Sen. Herbert Kohl [D, WI] abstained from voting. After the motion to table was rejected, the amendment was agreed to by a voice vote.
And so now in the PATRIOT Act extension bill, on the second-to-last page, is Grassley's death penalty language:
(a) Participation in Nuclear and Weapons of Mass Destruction Threats to the United States-Section 832© of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting 'punished by death if death results to any person from the offense, or' after 'shall be'.
(b) Missile Systems to Destroy Aircraft-Section 2332g©(3) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting 'punished by death or' after 'shall be'.
© Atomic Weapons- The last sentence of section 222 b. of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2272) is amended by inserting 'death or' before 'imprisonment for life' the last place it appears.
(d) Radiological Dispersal Devices-Section 2332h©(3) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting 'death or' before 'imprisonment for life'.
(e) Variola Virus-Section 175c©(3) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting 'death or' before 'imprisonment for life'.
As Grassley explains, the language would apply the death penalty to crimes "including participating in, or providing material support to, developing, using, or threatening to use a nuclear weapon; producing or using a missile to destroy an aircraft; using or threatening to use atomic weapons; using a dirty bomb, or radiological dispersal device; and producing or using a virus."
Within the realm of the existing capital punishment laws, this is hardly a controversial expansion. Still, when we're dealing with an area do the law as sensitive and contentious as the death penalty, you expect to have hearings and an extended debate to gather input from experts on all sides. Instead this has been dropped in a tangentially-related bill and will be overshadowed by the many more controversial provisions of PATRIOT Act surveillance laws.

at first i thought this might be a bill that would infringe on our constitutional right of armed revolution but ultimatly its just common sense. i may not be comfortable with the patriot act but really u cant just let people give people nukes and get away scott free. i think just sending the seals at em is a better alternative but i guess that just makes to much sense so they have to give them a fair trial and all that jazz before we kill them.
I thought you could already get the death penalty for murder? didn't think that the method used to murder had anything to do with it.
This can not mean a bad guys can use a trebuchet to mow down a few hundred people then not have to worry about facing the death penalty, can it? Do they need to add to the bill that it is also illegal to put children through meat grinders and that people should not stab old people in their eye sockets with forks?
Murder is already a death penalty offense no matter the method or the reason behind the murder.
This isn't about USING the weapons, but rather, SUPPLYING them. The word "participation" is actually legally pretty vague. It could be as removed as providing intelligence on the location of materials to make the device.
so would that mean that the owner of the feed store that sold timithy McVeigh the fertilizer would now face the death penalty or the farmer that owned the cow that made the fertilizer sold by the feed store?
If either of them provided the material with fore-knowledge of how he would use them, yes. This is also an extension of the punishment phase, rather than expanding culpability. This is more like security personnel who sells the access codes to a person's house being as liable as the actual person who came in a shot them.
Shouldn't they already have received the death penalty in the timothy mcveigh situation? Also, it kinda makes sense security personnel would be as culpable, I mean, it's not hard to imagine either no crime, or at least not the same exact crime, would've happened without their participation.

Weare police overtime mushrooms; shifts covered during shooting probe not specified
The state Attorney General's office has ordered the names of the two officers not be publicly released until the criminal investigation is complete and its findings released. The lead prosecutor could not say when they expect the report to be done.
"I'm in charge of the safety of this town and I'm hemorrhaging overtime at that point. I have to make a decision. I need to find a very, very good reason why I would leave these people at home and getting paid. And that's when I talked to the state Attorney General's office," Velleca explained.
"They (officers) are primarily (assigned to) administrative duties within the police department, but...they would be available to respond to an emergency situation if need be, if there were not other officers here," Velleca said this week. He said he didn't know if they were sent on any emergency calls yet.
The state Attorney General's office has long maintained it is standard practice for an officer involved in a shooting to be placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of the investigation.
Velleca said the officers handle work that he otherwise would have to pay someone else — such as another officer, records clerk or administrative assistant — to do.
"We struggled with that for a long time," Clow said. He said Velleca's proposed 2014 budget includes $100,000 for overtime and "the chief made a commitment to live within that."

The Sharks, also known as Streetwannabe's, are a band of thugs in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
[show]GTA Vice City
In GTA Vice City, they can be found around the North Point Mall and Prawn Island, but are not a threat to any other gang in Vice City. They can also be seen driving their Gang Burrito (the vehicle of the second generation of the Gang). It is suggested that they are involved in arms smuggling and drug trafficking. They seem to be on bad terms with The Bikers. They even stole Mitch Baker's (Leader of the Bikers) prized motorcycle and stored it in a garage in Downtown Vice City. The unnamed leader of the Gang betrays Ricardo Diaz and steals his shipment of drugs, causing Diaz to order Tommy Vercetti to kill him and many others in an airstrike.They are usually seen wearing denim jackets and jeans.
GTA Vice City Stories
They are called "The Sharks" in GTA Vice City Stories and are in the island east of Vice City, they manage a number of drugs, smuggling, robbery and extortion businesses which Victor Vance can take over. The Sharks continue to attack Victor until all their businesses were taken. They often hunt Victor in their Gang Ranchers (the vehicle of the first generation of the Gang) and sometimes try to destroy his empire sites. They are seen wearing brightly coloured shirts, light brown or grey pants and berets.
The Streetwannabe's in GTA Vice City are not hostile to Tommy Vercetti or Lance Vance after they killed their leader. Only hosts attack the player if the player attacks the Streetwannabe's.
- Some independent gangs / factions in Vice City are also listed as Streetwannabes according to statistics from the game. This includes soldiers at Fort Baxter Air Base and "gangs" that appear in some missions, such as the Forelli Family members in 'Keep Your Friends Close...', the French agents in 'All Hands On Deck', and the bodyguards of the counterfeiting syndicate in 'Hit The Courier'.
- The Scorpion is used by members if the player attacks their businesses (GTA VCS) .
- The Chainsaw is not used by all members, but is used by a member of the Streetwannabes in 'Leap and Bound'.
- In Vice City Stories (1984), the Streetwannabes are seen in Ocean Beach, Washington Beach, Prawn Island, Vice Point and even have influence in Viceport, but their influence has shrunk into a small street gang. The only territory they have left are Prawn Island and the Vice Point region.
- In Vice City Stories (1984), the Streetwannabes are at war with the Bikers and are constantly attacking each others Empire Building. This explains why the Streetwannabes stole Mitch Baker's bike (which Tommy had to retrieve in 'Hog Tied'). It is implied the Streetwannabes still hold hatred towards the Bikers.
- In Vice City Stories, the Sharks always use the same skin model, but with different clothes, shoes, and berets colors.
- In GTA Vice City the members of the Sharks resemble the gang members in Michael Jackson's "Beat It" music video.
- The favorite radio stations of the Sharks are Flash FM and Wave 103.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota – Red Bull KTM Factory rider Ryan Dungey did exactly what his hometown fans expected: he chased down points leader Ryan Villopoto and took the win at the H.H.H. Metrodome to earn a standing ovation by the Minneapolis crowd.
Ryan Dungey and his 250SX teammate, Marvin Musquin, earned the fastest lap times in qualifying. Dungey's fast time earned him the top gate pick in his heat. Unfortunately, Dungey had a mid-pack start in his heat and had to work his way up through the pack. In the eight lap heat he was able to make multiple passes to move into second before the checkered flag flew.
In the main event, Dungey selected a different starting gate which proved to be beneficial as he started the race in third position. It did not take long for him to move into second place behind the lead ride of Ryan Villopoto. The two riders quickly pulled away from the rest of the field and began what would be a 20 lap battle for the win. Dungey trailed throughout the first sixteen laps consistently turning a faster lap time to inch closer to the rear wheel of Villopoto each lap. With four laps to go, Dungey began to apply pressure to Villopoto. With three laps to go he was able to make a pass for the lead on the KTM 450 SX-F. His hometown crowd stood on their feet and cheered as loud as they could for their hero as he took over the lead. The two riders remained close for the final laps. Dungey remained strong and held on to his lead to claim his second victory of the season.
"It feels amazing to get a win here in front of my hometown," commented Dungey. "I have so many great fans here, and of course, all my friends and family. My bike was running perfect tonight and I felt really comfortable all day. I hope to take the momentum of this win into the final rounds and hopefully land back on the top step of the podium a few more times."

Re: Wrath of the Monkey God
I *really* like the idea of this shirt, but the fact that it's a primate with Maori style tattoos is a bit disconcerting. I probably wouldn't be able to buy it because of the imitation style of Maori tattoos and having them be on a monkey. (For those who don't know, the Maori are very, very territorial over their tattoos and view it as offensive for others to copy them.)

Nice, fresh approach. Great work!
cenerslaveshop wrote:[quote postid="2547538" user="anneandkita"]This is totally minor, but it makes me uncomfortable anyway. The reflections in the water would both travel the length of the water reflection and they tend to taper off at the end, not just stop abruptly. The length of the line is based on the brightness of the source, so the moon reflection would be longer than the fire reflection if anything. I absolutely love the design, but that inaccuracy would probably keep me from buying it. (I know, I know, that's so sad! I can't help it. ) This kind of shows what I'm talking about with the brightness vs. length of reflection. More examples could be found by googling I'm sure. Cripes, it's a shirt! It's not like it's going to be hanging in the Louvre! If all the shirts submitted were held to such high expectations, we'd have no zombies, smiling animals, talking monsters and the like. Life is full of inaccuracies, I dig the individuality and it's a cool take on it; reflections "perfect" or not.
I know...and she knows...she even felt bad for admitting that it bugged her but its just an opinion, just like its just a shirt...

Re: Tiki Van Hula
Meow. *thumbs up*
Not too shabby at all :-)
No halftones in this that I can see... maybe you were thinking of partial transparency? It does look like the designer might have used a transparent dark colour over the lighter ones, but upon closer inspection it's clear that just six colours were used, very carefully chosen.
great design~ eye-catching but not gaudy. you've got my vote ^^
Re: Liquid Hibiscus
wow. i havent been around all day so i was checking the thumbnails. i clicked to see this shirt to see how many people had said how wretched it is to make a shirt like those you can buy in a store. now after reading oh lets say half way down the page maybe, give or take a few spins of the wheel, i want a turn! ok hey, i see you took the time to draw it yourself. total props. half of the crowd that is freaking out complains just as loudly about clip art and vectors. they whine incessantly (as do i) about the lack of give-a-stool around here. yep, as a person that lives in vegas... where hawaiian people move to when they get sick of water... agreed. it LOOKS to be generic and just like alot of stuff you can buy at the flea market or where ever. HOWEVER, my personal verdict (as a person that has made exactly one design by the grace and help of far too many people) is this: you took the time to draw it. you have elements, as do i. bravo for putting out something people easily mistake for a run of the mill shirt. that means you made something 80 billion people would buy at walmart on a wing and a prayer. now ill have you know that alot of my friends are gonna hate and berate me for this opinion, but for what you had to work with all the way around... hey you made something so palatable they all berate you for being too ordinary. win or lose you have nothing to be ashamed of. if YOU drew it and YOU thought it looked nice repeated in a pattern rather than create a collage of different flowers, then there is nothing left to say. if its all some ruse and you took some schmucks flower and repeatedly slapped it on a shirt without care... well then you should rot in hell. if woot doesnt print it, go to a company called ocean pacific. i hear they LOVE this kind of work....
i am by no means an expert on design, and i know plenty of people have already said it in technical terms i don't quite understand, but .. that fire looks freakin awesome. great work =)
I love this one and I'd definitely buy. Best of luck
Love the design. The shirt is so dark though most of it seems lost. Have you considered a slightly softer color for the background?
Even if this idea isn't original, i still think it's an awesome shirt. i love the colors chosen for this shirt. most of the shirts i've seen with this design/print are bright, flashy, and sometimes tacky-looking. this one has my vote, because it has a calm, but dark, color scheme, and because i'd wear it.
great design =) and i give props for the color scheme.
Re: Surfer
i like your design, but not a big fan of the shade of blue. i prefer .. subtler colored shirts to wear~ but that's just me. awesome though =) i'd still get this shirt just for the design ^^
red and black is one of my fave color schemes. i love pictures where something is silhouetted because it's covering the light source (e.g. the sun). incorporation of both~ awesome shirt. =)

Central Illinois Section Meeting - February 6, 2013
Title: Polymerized Vegetable Oils
Speaker: Dr. Selim Erhan
Abstract: The larger molecules such as polymeric vegetable oils and esters are multifunctional additives in metalworking fluids and impart good low foaming properties and coupling effects. But their most notable contributions are in lubricity. Their performance is especially important as there is an effort to replace chlorinated paraffin's in performance and cost. This presentation will focus on the tribological performance of polymeric vegetable oils, and various esters and compare their performance to the performance of chlorinated paraffin's using instruments such as the High Frequency Reciprocating Rig, Hille Press, Reichert, 4-Ball Wear and Microtap.

What began as a classroom experiment 36 years ago at George Stevens Academy has turned into a testament of the longevity of "Twinkies," the Hostess brand snack cake that may be headed for extinction.
The saga of the indestructible Twinkie dates to 1976 and a science class led by Roger Bennatti, according to Liffey Thorpe, a spokesperson for the academy. Bennatti was discussing how chemicals are used to preserve foods, Thorpe said.
A student had a Twinkie left over from lunch and handed it to Bennatti, who held it up to the class and asked, "How long do you figure this will last?", Thorpe said. Bennatti then placed the Twinkie on a shelf next to his desk, where it stayed for the next 28 years.
When Bennatti retired in 2004, he placed the Twinkie in a glass box and gave it to former student Libbey Rosemeier, dean of students at George Stevens. The Twinkie is on display in Rosemeier's office.

Verlander looking to regain form vs. Red Sox
Detroit righty will be matched up with Doubront in series finale
By most standards, Justin Verlander's 2013 campaign has been fairly productive.
At 8-5 with a 3.72 ERA, the Detroit ace has been effective. But the baseball world has come to expect dominance from the former Cy Young Award winner and, for the most part, he's fallen short of the lofty expectations.
Verlander, who will start against the Red Sox in the series finale Sunday, showed signs of returning to his former self when he went for seven innings and three runs or fewer in three straight starts to begin the month of June. However, his last start, a five-inning performance in which he gave up five runs, was a reminder of the struggles Verlander went through in May, when he posted a 6.41 ERA in five starts.
"Obviously, you have that stretch of three or four starts where it was pretty frustrating," Verlander said. "You know, I guess I'm always trying to get better, and I feel like I've made adjustments to get to that point. I feel like I've been getting better, better, and better. That's not necessarily going to work toward a perfect game, but you're not going to get better every time.
He added, "It's been a battle so far."
When Verlander takes the mound Sunday, he'll have a chance to seal a series win over the Red Sox, who command the American League's best record at 45-32. The Tigers topped Boston on Saturday night, 10-3, and have won two of three in the series thus far.
To try to salvage a series split, the Red Sox will hand the ball to Felix Doubront, who is coming off the best outing of his career.
Against the Rays on Tuesday, he needed just 93 pitches to throw eight shutout innings. Though his bid for the win was thwarted when Andrew Bailey blew the save in the ninth inning, it was the first time in Doubront's career he lasted beyond the seventh inning.
"This game gives me more confidence," said Doubront after the start. "I needed this. I needed this to get more confident, trust more in my pitches. I'll go the next game and try to do the same and stay on one page, this page. And stay like that. I'm going to get better results and win games and help the team to win."
The performance was the lefty's fifth quality start in his last six outings, dating back to May 21.
Red Sox: Buchholz's return pushed back again
After being scratched from another scheduled start, Clay Buchholz will likely have to complete a Minor League rehab assignment before returning to the Red Sox.
Boston's undefeated ace was scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, but was limited to flat-ground work due to continued neck soreness. The setback means Buchholz won't be able to start Tuesday as was previously hoped.
"Obviously, right now, he's not going to start Tuesday, so basically what we're doing is going as tolerated with throwing," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "It's likely that at some point we're probably going to have to get him out on a rehab assignment, at least one start for now, but there's no time frame for that. We've got to get him on the mound first and build from there."
Buchholz injured his neck when making an awkward throw to first base June 8 against the Angels. He also missed a start in late May when he injured his AC joint, which is located near the shoulder.
Buchholz is 9-0 with a 1.71 ERA this season.
Tigers: Avila to start rehab assignment Sunday
Alex Avila feels well enough to return to the Tigers, but he'll first have to complete a rehab assignment in Triple-A Toledo.
The catcher was hit by a pitch on his left forearm last week and was placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday. The earliest he can return to the Tigers is July 2.
"Swelling is down," Avila said. "A couple of days ago was the first time the swelling went down to where I was actually able to swing the bat a little bit and stuff. Each day it has gotten better and better, and today I feel as good as new."
Worth noting
• Boston is 31-21 (.596) when the opposing starter is right-handed.
• The Tigers have won 58 of the last 82 games at Comerica Park since July 4, 2012. They lead the Major Leagues in wins and with a .707 winning percentage at home during that stretch.

Girl, usually college aged, that is older and out of high school, but not quite reached actual maturity or 25. She travels in packs and loves to party. The pack can always be heard making their most noticeable sound "te-he-he!" This sound resonates through out the summer as te-he-hes LOVE the pool and house parties and keggers, especially at apartments. They are not necessarily club goers.
Dude #1: This place sucks ass.
Te-he-hes (all together): Te-he-he!

Ovarian hypofunction is reduced function of the ovaries (including decreased production of hormones).
Premature ovarian failure; Ovarian insufficiency
Ovarian hypofunction may be caused by genetic factors such as chromosome abnormalities. It may also occur with certain autoimmune disorders that disrupt the normal function of the ovaries.
Chemotherapy and radiation therapy can also cause ovarian hypofunction.
Women with ovarian hypofunction may develop symptoms of menopause, which include:
Ovarian hypofunction may also make it hard for a woman to become pregnant.
A blood test will be done to check your level of follicle-stimulating hormone, or FSH. FSH levels are higher than normal in women with ovarian hypofunction.
Other blood tests may be done to look for autoimmune disorders or thyroid disease.
Women with ovarian hypofunction who want to become pregnant may be concerned about their ability to conceive. Those younger than age 30 may have a chromosome analysis to check for problems. Older women who are close to menopause do not usually need this test.
Estrogen therapy often helps relieve menopausal symptoms and prevents bone loss. However, it will not increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Fewer than 1 in 10 women with ovarian hypofunction will be able to get pregnant. The chance of getting pregnant increases to 50% when you use a fertilized donor egg (an egg from another woman).
Call your health care provider if you are no longer having monthly periods, have symptoms of early menopause, or if you are having difficulty becoming pregnant.

Il trittico
Giacomo Puccini
Gianni Schicchi
It happens in the best families: an uncle dies and all his greedy relatives can think of is how to inherit his money. In the case of Giacomo Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi", however, the rich Buoso Donati has left his entire wealth to a monastery. This is a bitter blow to all his brothers-in-law, cousins, nephews and nieces, who feel cheated of their inheritance. When the uncle comes back to life, each of them makes an effort to change his mind in their favour. Nobody notices that the sly Gianni Schicchi lies behind the dead man's sudden resurrection, from whose macabre trick a pair of young lovers are the only ones who should profit. "Gianni Schicchi" is a cynical black comedy whose text is derived from an episode from Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy". Dietrich Hilsdorf places the piece at the beginning of his production of Puccini's triptych "Il trittico", originally created in 2003, in which he pinpoints three steps in the progressive brutalization of human relations.

Suor Angelica
History can tell of countless young women who have been banished to a nunnery on the basis of a "lapse". In the moving melodrama "Suor Angelica" the daughter of a respected family struggles with the trauma of bringing a child into the world out of wedlock and bringing disgrace upon her family. Puccini, whose sister was in charge of a nunnery in Lucca, had a great affinity for this story. The heroine of his opera takes her own life years later when she learns of the child's death and thus commits another deadly sin. Yet the sign of grace she yearns for while she is dying is not granted. Dietrich Hilsdorf presents the opera as an intrigue in which both the merciless family and the pious nuns are implicated.

Il tabarro
Love and deadly jealousy, these are the motifs at the heart of operatic drama. In his one-act opera "Il tabarro" (the overcaot) Puccini has painted them in particularly dark colours. Trapped in the bleak environment of the Parisian docks, three people realise the hopelessness of their existence: Giorgetta, who has lost her child and with it her love of her husband, Luigi, who yields to Giorgetta and her hunger for love, and Michele, who kills this rival in love, thereby destroying the last hope of happiness. The piece, which is reminiscent of the verismo operas "Cavalleria rusticana" by Mascgani and "Pagliacci" by Leoncavallo, ends in a horrific "coup de theatre", with which the director Dietrich Hilsdorf transforms the senseless self-destruction of humanity as a result of inhuman conditions into the shattering climax of Puccini's trilogy "Il trittico".
