The House of the Temple is a Masonic temple in Washington, D.C., United States that serves as the headquarters of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, U.S.A. (officially, "Home of The Supreme Council, 33°, Ancient & Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction, Washington D.C., U.S.A.")
It is located at 1733 16th Street, N.W., in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, and stands approximately one mile directly north of the White House. The full name of the Supreme Council is "The Supreme Council (Mother Council of the World) of the Inspectors General Knights Commander of the House of the Temple of Solomon of the Thirty-third degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry of the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States of America."
On May 31, 1911, 110 years after the founding of the Supreme Council, Grand Commander James D. Richardson broke ground on the spot where the House of the Temple now stands in Washington, D.C. Grand Master J. Claude Keiper, of the Grand Lodge of the District of Colombia, laid the cornerstone in the northeast corner on October 18, 1911.[1]
The temple was designed by noted architect John Russell Pope, who modeled it after the tomb of Mausolus at Halicarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.[2] The building was dedicated four years later on October 18, 1915.
The building's design was widely praised by contemporary architects, and it won Pope the Gold Medal of the Architectural League of New York in 1917. In his 1920 book L'Architecture aux Etatis-Unis, French architect Jacques Gréber described it as "a monument of remarkable sumptuousness ... the ensemble is an admirable study of antique architecture stamped with a powerful dignity." Fiske Kimball's 1928 book American Architecture describes it as "an example of the triumph of classical form in America". In the 1920s, a panel of architects named it "one of the three best public buildings" in the United States, along with the Nebraska State Capitol and the Pan American Union Building in Washington, D.C. In 1932, it was ranked as one of the ten top buildings in the country in a poll of federal government architects.[3]
Confederate general and former Sovereign Grand Commander Albert Pike was the author of an 1871 book called Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, a book that describes in detail the 33 ranks of Freemasonry, the stories and teachings associated with each rank, the rituals connected to each rank, and other lodge proceedings. In 1944, the remains of Albert Pike were removed from Oak Hill Cemetery in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C. and placed in the House of the Temple. The remains of Past Grand Commander John Henry Cowles were entombed in the temple in 1952, after his 31-year reign as Grand Commander. The Temple also holds one of the largest collections of materials related to Scottish poet and Freemason Robert Burns in its library, the first public library in Washington, D.C.[2]
The House of the Temple is designated as a contributing property to the Sixteenth Street Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[4]
From 1990 to 2011, the temple hosted a community garden on its grounds. The Temple Garden occupied about 0.25-acre (1,000 m2), divided into about 70 small plots worked by nearby residents.[5] In fall 2011, the Temple closed the garden in order to use the space to stage construction equipment for a rehabilitation project.[6]
In popular culture[edit]
In the 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still, the House of the Temple is in the background as a Washington, D.C., motorcycle cop vainly tries to start his engine.[citation needed]
In the 2009 novel The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, the building is the setting for several key scenes.[7]

text: Sexuality Education and Pregnancy Prevention (cont.)Moderator: Why is nudity and sexuality on TV such a big deal in America, but not Europe? Langrall-Folb: I think it's a combination of many things. The results are astounding. First of all, Europe has always been somewhat more open with regard to nudity and sexuality, and that may come from having experienced two devastating wars. It reduces you to a different place. That's my own personal speculation. We do see that in a country like the Netherlands, which is reputed to be a very open society with regard to nudity and sexuality, prostitution is legal, as is marijuana and hash, and it's under controlled circumstances, but we look at the Netherlands and we look at the teen pregnancy rate, which is about nine times lower than the U.S. I think it's many different variables that play into that, one being that the government sponsors long-term broad-reaching media campaigns that encourage, not abstinence until marriage because they know that's unrealistic, but rather safe sex or no sex. There is a generation of teenagers now that have grown up with this mantra, "Safe Sex or No Sex." Literally these kids feel that it's their duty as a citizen of the Netherlands to protect themselves as well as their partner. When you look at teen birth rate in the Netherlands compared to the U.S., out of 1,000 women ages 15 - 19, the U.S. has about 52 births out of 1000. In the Netherlands, same number, they have four births. We're just so off the scale, and we wonder if this country were more open about sexuality, not only in media but also in the schools, because in the Netherlands, anything goes. They can talk about anything. The teachers are not restricted at all. There really is no sexuality education curriculum, because you can talk about it anytime you want. You can talk about it in sociology class, health, biology -- in religion class, they talk about it a lot. I visited Christian schools in Amsterdam that were very open and forthcoming about any topic of sexuality. I asked the head master if his sexuality education curriculum differed from what would be considered a public school, and he chuckled, and said we all have sex the same way so why would it be different. There are condom machines in the school bathrooms, on the street corners, in subway stations, in restaurants, just freely available. Young people have access to family-planning services and healthcare services freely available to them. It's a societal attitude about sexuality and could be perceived to be more open, but appears to us to be more healthy. Young people are not taught that sex is the forbidden fruit. It's not used as a teasing topic on TV, but rather a normal part of being a human being. The other interesting thing about Europe is that with all the information they have, with all the accessibility they have, consequently, that the young people in Holland wait two to three years longer to become sexually active than they do in this country. The average age of first sexual encounter in the U.S. is between 15 and 16, and in the Netherlands, it's between 17 and 18. Clearly the young people of Europe take the information they're being given about sexuality and take it very seriously when they make a decision about their own lives. In this country (personal opinion), I feel young people are frustrated at being told you're not old enough to know this and you're not old enough to do this. They want to prove to us that they are old enough, and they go out and prove this, but now they don't have the information so they wind up pregnant, or they wind up with an STD, or worse. Moderator: There has been a drop in teen pregnancies in the past few years. Has TV played a role in this, either negatively or positively? Langrall-Folb: I would love to be able to say I have data on that and I would love to say yes, it's played a positive role. My personal opinion is it has, because if you think about it, in the last ten years, we've started to see condoms being mentioned on TV, or safer sex slowly becoming more normalized in a young person's life. A large percentage of the reason why the teen pregnancy rate has dropped is because young people are using contraceptives more. Just from viewing and from watching TV, you can see that it has become more normalized on TV, as well as in society and elsewhere. We still have a very long way to go. Moderator: In what ways do the media reinforce or tear down sexual stereotypes? Are there certain ethnic or gender-related stereotypes that you frequently observe? Langrall-Folb: TV, you have to understand, is drama. It's theater; it's pretend. Theater has to do with stereotypes a lot because to get the point across, you need the character to be way over the top. There's always going to be some degree of stereotyping on TV. I think that TV has made some great attempts at crossing over and portraying different characters and different roles. We see it in commercials now. We see it in the programming, the Mr. Mom's and sort of crossing those old stereotypes. I feel that sometimes TV is the last industry to catch up with some of the trends, for whatever their reasons are, be it fear of advertisers or backlash from the public. There have been incredible examples and pioneers in TV over the years. Norman Lear really broke down some barriers on TV by addressing subject matter that had never been addressed before in entertainment TV, like oral contraception, racism, many issues he dealt with. I find it interesting that some of the subject matter that he was able to portray in the 1970's is almost taboo today. I don't know of a situation comedy today that would tackle the subject of abortion. Moderator: To what extent are advertisers responsible for what we see on TV programming today? Langrall-Folb: The networks will tell you that they very much are in control of what we see on TV today, specifically in regard to sexuality and sexual health messages. I am constantly being told, we would show condoms or we would discuss protection or contraception or pregnancy prevention, except the advertisers will get very upset and will remove sponsorship of the show. If we show a condom, we lose sponsors, which I don't doubt is true. The advertises are living in fear of public outcry or boycotts of their product. Our research shows us that the general public is not nearly at offended as seeing condoms on TV as the advertisers think they are. That's part of our work, to conduct more outreach to advertisers and to educate them on the issues and the importance of portraying some of this in an effort to reduce teen pregnancy and the abortion rate. We're trying to do that now by conducting more research about public opinion or mentioning contraception on TV. It strikes me as quite odd that an advertiser will sponsor a show that exploits sex but will be terrified to sponsor a show that mentions contraception. |

US policies threaten both nations. Doing so imperils the region and beyond. Syria's now in focus. Iran's turn awaits.
What's likely should terrify everyone wanting America's imperium defeated and peace restored. Doing so remains a distant dream. Potential worst of times loom.
On December 17, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) cited Syrian Vice President Farouk al-Sharaa saying continuing armed conflict favors neither side.
Opposition elements can't topple Assad without creating endless violence and chaos, he stressed.
He urged conflict resolution and national unity. "We are not protecting some particular person or regime. We are fighting for the very existence of Syria," he explained.
by Stephen Lendman
A new Physicians for Human Rights-Israel (PHR-I) report is titled "Tortured in Sinai, Jailed in Israel." More on it below.
Separate and unequal defines longstanding Israeli policy. Arabs aren't wanted. Neither are non-Jewish immigrants or asylum seeker. Discriminatory laws target them. Fundamental rights are denied. Redress most often is impossible.
Even torture victims fleeing repression face enormous hurdles to gain entry. Israel spurns international law with impunity. It does what it wants unaccountably. It ignores international law. Protecting refugees and asylum seekers doesn't matter.
Article I of the 1951 UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees calls them:
"A person who owning to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of their nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail him/herself of the protection of that country."

Find the path used to invoke the current process
#include <process.h> char * _cmdname( char * buff );
BlackBerry 10.0.0
- buff
- NULL, or a pointer to a buffer in which the function can store the path. To determine the size required for the buffer, call fpathconf() or pathconf() with an argument of _PC_PATH_MAX, then add 1 for the terminating null character.
Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.
The _cmdname() function determines the full path that the current process was invoked from. If buff isn't NULL, _cmdname() copies the path into the buffer that buff points to.
A pointer to the pathname used to load the process, or NULL if an error occurred.
Don't change the string that the returned value points to if you passed NULL for the buff parameter.

This semester over thirty faculty members gathered for a reading group sponsored by the BYU Faculty Center. I led the group in its reading of Conor Cunningham's book Darwin's Pious Idea: Why the Ultra-Darwinists and Creationists Both Get It Wrong. Cunningham is a Catholic theologian at the University of Nottingham. The thesis of the book is that both the evangelical atheists (e.g., Daniel Dennett, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, etc.) are wrong in their attacks on faith and that their arguments are based on a caricature of religion that are largely incoherent. Conversely, he argues the Christian Fundamentalist creationists, including the cleverly-named, but silly, pseudoscience, Intelligent Design movement, is a religious and spiritual disaster. Cunningham argues that we can have a faithful religious embrace of evolutionary biology. In short, we can do both good science and good religion. BCC's own BHodges gives a wonderful review of the book here so I won't go too much more into the book, but instead focus on the seminar itself. I think it marks a historic moment at BYU and deserves a little attention. Continue reading The Darwin Seminar at BYU

Left: Ashby, circa 1987 Right: Progressed to age 30
Debbie Marie Ashby
Missing since October 9, 1987 from Campbelltown, New South Wales Australia.
Classification: Endangered Missing
Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance Debbie may have lived in the Nowra and Newcastle areas at some stage since her disappearance. She has been sighted numerous times. The most recent sighting was in the Fairfield area in 1998, when she was seen by a school friend. None of the sightings have been confirmed. Ashby was a rebellious teen, she had experienced threats at school and had wanted to move schools before leaving school for good. Police believe her disappearance was related to threats she had received at school. Investigators Source Information:
Ashby left her family's home in Campbelltown, New South Wales Australia on October 9, 1987 at approximately 13:00. She said she was going to a friend's house for a visit. Ashby was never seen again. She did not bring any extra clothing or personal belongings with her when she left her family's home.
Police believe foul play is suspected because Ms Ashby had not been seen or heard from since 1987.

How to Cheat the High Notes in Karaoke
Illustration by Mike Gorman
Karaoke can be a dangerous endeavor. What can you sing that won't make friends shun you? How can you go balls-out during your next performance? Each week in "Ask a Karaoke Host," RFT Music writer and professional karaoke host Allison Babka answers your burning questions about maximizing your melodious mutterings and minimizing your friends' pain. Ask her stuff by emailing email@example.com or hashtagging #rftkaraoke on Twitter.
When a man with a normal tenor range attempts a song that demands falsetto, does he have to maintain that upper octave for the whole song, or can he dip down to his normal range for a verse or two? -- Walk Like a Man
Sustaining a true falsetto is difficult if you're not trained for it or warmed up enough. When karaoke singers try to mimic Matt Bellamy, they often sound like they've been kicked in their boyparts (or ladyparts, though falsetto problems usually plague guys) and end up shrieking lyrics to reach for the notes. That can cause the vocal cords some pain for a day or two.
If you've got the stamina for the high notes and are driven to entertain others by being gutsy, by all means, go for it. But you're under no obligation to screech every word as high as Bono does. Plus, you probably want to avoid scaring customers away, right?
Here's a trick: If you know the karaoke version of the song well, you'll likely know where the track's backing vocals kick in and if they're loud. Because those vocals usually happen on the chorus and correspond to where the falsetto parts are, you can use this to your advantage. The backing vocals will take the lead and give you cover while you drop to your normal range or harmonize.
I do this myself with Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone." I'm fine for most of the song, but bits of the bridge simply climb too high for me to perform well. Thus, I harmonize in a lower octave just for those mega high parts and let the backing vocals take over. I felt like a cheater the first time I did it, but the trick is surprisingly effective and the audience doesn't notice much (or doesn't care). Stay away from Frankie Valli in general, and you'll be fine.
Can I do karaoke to an instrumental track, or does that cross over into performance art? -- Jukebox Hero
This might be the first question that caused me to make "WTF?" face while reading it. Are we playing "Stump the Karaoke Host?" If so, you've just won the fictional grand prize of $100,000.
Karaoke means that there are words on a screen, which you sing while a song plays. An instrumental track by nature has no words to post. Thus, what you're asking really wouldn't be karaoke.
Are you enquiring if you literally are able to sing some random words over an instrumental song? Well, I guess you can, but I'd probably take you aside and ask about your intent before deciding if I'd go along with the request. Most customers go to karaoke bars in the same manner they'd go to a cover band's concert -- they want to watch someone perform hits they can hum along to. If you start doing beat poet shit over "Green Onions," those customers likely will leave, taking their beer and appetizer money with them. And I can't have that. (See next question.)
While I applaud the creativity, I'd likely suggest you take your act to an open-mic night at a coffee shop.

Three years before our story began an unlikely party formed. The story of how Sanzo, Goku, Gojyo, and Hakkai met is revealed at last - violence drew them close, but something far more powerful kept them together. Now with bonds forged in insecurity and despair, our party is trapped in an undergound youkai den with a malicious female demon. Her interest lies with Sanzo, but her strength lies with her poison... and her ability to make it linger.

Experts: No Big Changes in 2014 EPA Emissions
ORLANDO – The 2014 federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations regarding engine emissions, especially for fire apparatus, are not as onerous as feared, said engine manufacturers' representatives at a Fire Department Safety Officers Association (FDSOA) annual apparatus symposium workshop
Chris Crowel, the emergency vehicle market leader for Cummins Inc., and Randall Ray, marketing manager for Navistar Corp., gave a presentation on EPA engine regulations for 2014. Tim Johnson, the southern region sales manager for Rosenbauer America, joined in the conversation as well.
"The big news for 2014 is there not much change," Crowel said. He added the new regulations are expansions and refinements of existing rules.
And, another bit of good news, Crowel said, is the fact the federal government has relaxed some of the aspects of the regulations for fire apparatus. He said fire apparatus still needs to be complaint and there are no waivers or exemptions from the emissions rules. However, one big concession is fire apparatus and emergency vehicles won't "de-rate" or loose horsepower and shut down like over the road vehicles do when they run out of diesel emissions fluid (DEF) or need to regenerate.
"They've figured out that we're not tractor trailers, we're not dump trucks," said Johnson.
New apparatus equipped with the latest, compliant emissions must still do "regens" or burn off soot and emissions with high exhaust temperatures, but because apparatus are considered vocational vehicles, they can have scheduled regenerations that won't interfere with operations.
Ray said fire apparatus can do regenerations when they are in PTO, or pumping modes as long as the temperatures are sufficiently high with no adverse effects to operations.
"You should be good if you let them do what they want to do," Ray said, noting that trying to defeat or circumvent emissions programs could result in costly damage to the apparatus.
Crowel said it's better that departments and the people who service fire apparatus get used to the emissions systems because they are not going away.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and DEF are here to stay, he said.
"We can't do it any longer with EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) and meet the federal emissions requirements," Crowel said.
As the EPA moves closer and closer to zero emissions for all vehicles, all the experts are expecting to see tightening of the regulations. Another round is scheduled for 2017 and they could be far more onerous than the 2014 regulations.
"We know they'll do something, but what we don't know just yet," Crowel said.
Another aspect of emission regulation the reduction of tire resistance to improve fuel economy. It's aimed at over the road trucks, but it could affect fire apparatus, the experts agreed.
While there are no requirements for fire apparatus to have super efficient tires, tire companies could stop making the aggressive, heavy duty tires that are usually standard on apparatus because the market would be too small to be profitable.
"There's really nothing we can do about that," Johnson said. "The reality is you may soon not be able to get the tire size, or tread that you once used to."
That was of great concern for many of the attendees, more so than the engine requirements, but for now, they seemed pleased that nothing more serious has been foisted upon the fire service regarding emission as they brace for the next round of rules.

dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this dissertation is to narrate and conceptualize the piqueteros movement's path to re-incorporation in Argentina. The piqueteros movement provides an outstanding scenario for the dynamic analysis of thirteen years of the intertwining logics of both contentious and routine politics. This thesis argues that the complete explanation for the interaction of social movements with state institutions must involve the less spectacular accumulation of ad hoc practices and the use of a predominant repertoire of strategies. The empirical argument of this dissertation is that the period between 1996 and 2009 represented a reshaping of the political arena through the second incorporation of workers under a non-corporatist logic. The territorialized path and specific logic of re-incorporation struggles in Argentina presents us with the crucial question of the redefinition of state-society relations in the post-neoliberal era and its related re-incorporation struggles. The theoretical purposes of this dissertation are manifold. The first is to suggest a refinement of the concept of political opportunities by specifying its logical location in the wider debate about the configuration of the political context for social movement interaction. The second is to propose a series of concepts for the analysis of strategic action in nonrational choice and/or structurally determinist terms. The threefold set of interrelated concepts I propose are: the stock of perceived alternatives; legacies; and repertoires of strategies. The third is to define the type of movement associated with the struggle for the redefinition of the actors to be included in the post-neoliberal political arena. Reincorporation movements have specific attributes that define them as a particular expression of a historical process of struggle for incorporation that emerged with the neoliberal critical juncture. Finally, this dissertation has the goal of bridging the social movement and historical institutionalism literatures with the hope of contributing towards a yet underdeveloped crossfertilization agenda. | |

Filtering the Unknown: Speech Activity Detection in Heterogeneous Video Collections
Huijbregts, Marijn and Wooters, Chuck and Ordelman, Roeland (2007) Filtering the Unknown: Speech Activity Detection in Heterogeneous Video Collections. In: Interspeech 2007, 27-31 August 2007, Antwerp, Belgium (pp. FrC.P3-4).
158kB |
Abstract: | In this paper we discuss the speech activity detection system that we used for detecting speech regions in the Dutch TRECVID video collection. The system is designed to filter non-speech like music or sound effects out of the signal without the use of predefined non-speech models. Because the system trains its models on-line, it is robust for handling out-of-domain data. The speech activity error rate on an out-of-domain test set, recordings of English conference meetings, was 4.4%. The overall error rate on twelve randomly selected five minute TRECVID fragments was 11.5%. |

taking time to refresh
When you work from home, it is so easy to get stuck in the same routine. Believe me, my entire days consist of doing the same things over and over again. I've always got plenty to do, and my list of projects is currently a mile long (I'm currently working on 12 blog designs at once). While it's great to feel accomplished while working your little butt off, I've found it can actually be a bit detrimental to your success.
As the above image reads, "sometimes a break from your routine is the very thing you need." It cannot be more true. I've always found that taking a break from what I'm doing to focus on something else, or even taking a break to do absolutely nothing at all, is so necessary. I call it my "refresh" mode. If too many things are going on at once, my mind is too crammed to concentrate properly, which in turn results in lousy work. Lousy work isn't exactly something that I can be proud of. I need those refresh moments.
I'm currently working on an e-book (that will be available here), among everything else I have going on. This project has been in my mind for quite some time now and it feels so good to finally put my plan into action. While it may seem like I have absolutely no time to even tackle this idea, I do. I separate my projects effectively so that there is always time to work on each one. I suppose writing this e-book IS a part of my "refresh time" since it's a different type of process. It's calming in a way, and takes me away from the routine I'm so used to.
If you ever feel overwhelmed, or if your work just isn't measuring up to your own expectations, I assure you that you probably just need a break. There is ALWAYS time to finish something, and taking as much time as you need to refresh and clear your mind will be so worth it and can only result in good things.
How do you break away from your routine?

this post couldn't have been any more perfect! lately i feel that i have just kept myself in a rut. not doing anything of pure importance but blogging. i think i just need to step back, and get things done. change up my scene. thanks for being so open, and hope you get all the things you need to get done, done :)
xo TJAh! Yes, I've definitely taken a break this year when it got a little too stressful for me at work. I took a sick day off and worked on rebuilding my blog. :)
Hope you finish your mile long list soon!
janmloves.blogspot.comI know that feeling, I definitely need to take me time sometimes.
Since the weather has got good I am taking lunch in the garden with my sister as a good break from it all.
When I was working on my dissertation I used to ban myself from working at home so that when I got home at 8-9-10 oclock in the evening I would have time to unwind. I also used to get up early and water the garden before going to uni to have a bit of 'me' time.I don't have a routine so it's very easy.

Texans take WR DeAndre Hopkins in 1st Round
Texans take WR Hopkins 27th in 1st Round
The Houston Texans have selected Clemson receiver DeAndre Hopkins with the 27th overall pick in the NFL draft.
Receiver was the biggest need for the Texans who have long lacked a top-tier receiver to play opposite star Andre Johnson, who turns 32 this summer.
It's just the second time Houston has drafted a receiver in the first round and the first time since Johnson was chosen third overall in 2003.
Last year, they drafted receivers DeVier Posey in the third round and Keshawn Martin in the fourth round. Posey contributed on offense, but tore his Achilles tendon in their playoff loss and is likely to miss a lot of time this season, and Martin worked mostly on special teams.
Veteran Kevin Walter was cut after the season.

Like many men, the Fortunate Ones aren't in any rush to get hitched. On Matrimony, the fifth of ten artist-directed video singles off their latest digital album, Serge and Genetics unravel the many complications that come with tying the knot, resolving to resist the numerous women who'd like to see them wifed up—at least for the foreseeable future. Feeling it? This is just one of many dope records that can be found on the crew's Lifelines LP, available for free download via Audiomack.

George West falls in final inning of deciding game against Luling
Luling edges Longhorns in third game
PLEASANTON - Perhaps it was apropos that both George West and Luling each had a player leave the field bloodied on Saturday afternoon.
After all, it seemed like the teams waged a pair of boxing matches rather than baseball playoff games.
And fittingly for the series, it was the team that got in the last shot which emerged victorious.
Luling scored the winning run in a frenetic seventh-inning sequence, giving the 10th-ranked Eagles an 11-10 victory in Game 3 of the Region IV-2A quarterfinal series at the Pleasanton ISD Sports Complex.
Luling (27-7) won the series 2-1 and will face Jarrell next. Each game of the series was won in walk-off fashion. George West (23-6) had staved off elimination with a 6-5 victory in Game 2, but the Longhorns couldn't quite pull off a gritty comeback in the finale.
"I'm so proud of our kids for fighting back," George West coach Chuck Pawelek said. "We just made so many defensive mistakes that we couldn't overcome. There were some crazy things in the series."
On a day that included 32 runs, 44 hits and 17 errors between the teams, the series fittingly ended in hair-on-fire fashion. With one out and a runner on first in the bottom of the seventh, Pawelek brought in Game 2 starter Tyler Townsend to face Vince Garcia.
Townsend struck out Garcia, but runner Aaron Werlein stole second. Longhorns catcher Jeffrey Hardwick's throw skipped into short center field, with Werlein not immediately breaking for third. He eventually did and the throw from center fielder Caleb Montgomery was wide and went into the George West dugout, allowing Werlein to score the series-winning run.
"We just wanted to steal a base and get into scoring position for that next hitter," Luling coach Mike Eckles said. "It was a crazy turn of events on that last play."
Luling was two outs away from winning in the top of the seventh before George West pinch hitter Chris Ruiz tied the score in stunning fashion.
With two runners on and one out, Ruiz battled reliever Ryan Larison to a full count before crushing a three-run homer over the left-field fence for a 10-all deadlock.
"I thought it was destiny (to win)," Pawelek said. "We hadn't hit many home runs in practice because of the new bats (this season) and a couple days ago, he took one out on me.
"When he came off the bench, I told him I had a gut feeling he was going to do that. I really did."
Ruiz's blast completed the Longhorns' comeback from a five-run deficit after the fifth. In that inning, Luling was up 6-4 when a fly ball with the bases loaded wasn't secured by George West right fielder Lucas Barcak, allowing three runs to score. It was one of six Longhorns errors in Game 3.
That was just one of several momentum swings as George West led 4-1 after three and a half innings before giving up the next eight runs.
"As hard as we fought, we couldn't overcome our defensive lapses," Pawelek said. "I don't understand it because we were strong all year defensively. That wasn't an issue."
George West forced Game 3 by rallying for two seventh-inning runs in the second game.
Down 5-4, the Longhorns loaded the bases after pinch hitter Chris Ruiz drew a leadoff walk, Derek Cantu singled and Andrew Katzfey was hit by a pitch.
Hardwick was then hit by a pitch to tie the score. Luling brought in right fielder Marc Magallanez to pitch and he issued a full-count walk to Seth Pipkin to force in the winning run.
"I told our kids this was the craziest playoff series I've ever been around in 22 years," Eckles said. "The thing about this group of kids here is it's ugly lots of times, but they have this mystique about winning. They just figure out a way to win."

Decision on biggest mosque in the UK, planned for east London, due today
TNT Magazine 6 December 2012
By Jade Bremner
A group behind the plans for a new mosque proposed for east London, named Abbey Mills Mosque or the Riverine Centre, complete with room for 10,000 people to pray, will hear whether their building application was successful today.
Tablighi Jamaat, an Islamic missionary group, has been attempting to get planning permission for their Newham mosque for 10 years.
The space will include a room for up to 7,440 men and separate space for 2,000 women to pray.
It will also be four times the size of St Paul's Cathedral.
Many locals are opposing the building on the grounds that the mosque is simply too big. (continue reading...)

Album Notes and Credits
Notes & Personnel Info |
Personnel: John Bell (vocals, guitar); John Hermann (vocals, keyboards); Todd Nance (vocals, drums); Jimmy Herring (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, baritone guitar); Domingo Ortiz (percussion). | |
Audio Mixer: John Keane. | |
Widespread Panic have struggled for a long time to bring the excitement of their live shows onto a studio recording. On their earliest records -- Space Wrangler, their self-titled sophomore album, and Ain't Life Grand -- the band didn't worry about it and the albums were mostly solid and engaging. As WP's live reputation began to spread through the jam band scene, however, that began to change; live records began appearing in streams. In the interim, WP seemingly forgot how to record in a studio. On 2006's Earth to America, WP began addressing the issue with some success. When Jimmy Herring joined for 2008's Free Somehow, they were still struggling with it, but formal song structures were beginning to replace framework riffs for long instrumental jams. On Dirty Side Down, WP finally learned that it is possible to have two distinct personas: one in the studio and another in concert. The concentration on songwriting here is evident from the first moments of the opening track, "Saint Ex." Complex melodic structures, dynamics, classic rock textures, and harmonic balance are exemplified as acoustic and electric instruments interweave seamlessly in a dreamy intro before a Latin percussion groove-laden vibe takes hold thanks to the hand drumming of Domingo S. Ortiz and bassist Dave Schools. Drifting, laid-back vocals are juxtaposed against hard rock guitars from singer John Bell and Herring along with Todd Nance's drum interludes. This is underscored on the driving, percussive blues-rocker "North," with blazing guitars, John Hermann's B-3, and Ortiz's congas. The title track is a knotty yet breezy Americana-styled rocker, while the ballad "This Cruel Thing," with a militaristic snare, Bell's moaning vocal, and an emotive refrain backed by Anne Richmond Boston, is a genuine surprise. "Shut Up and Drive" finds the tightrope between shuffling rocker and guitar jam, holds it tautly, and walks it without faltering. "Clinic Cynic," with Hermann's trademark piano work and producer John Keane's pedal steel, is a straight-up yet laid-back country-rocker. "Jaded Tourist" is a Southern rocker in the grand tradition without giving in to obvious tropes; it also brings gritty funk and soul to the party. The interplay between Hermann and the guitars locks the groove. At an hour long -- which may not bother Spread Heads -- Dirty Side Down is a tad long, but when the songs are this good, WP gets a pass. This is easily the band's finest studio offering in over a decade. ~ Thom Jurek | |

Phoronix: Valve Shows Off Steam Machines Prototype
Valve has begun showing off their Steam Machines Linux-based gaming console prototypes...
Phoronix: Valve Shows Off Steam Machines Prototype
Valve has begun showing off their Steam Machines Linux-based gaming console prototypes...
The best thing is that SteamOS will not be based on Ubuntu.
"As promised, the OS is built on Linux (not based on Ubuntu, we're told, but entirely custom), though you'd never know it as the only interactive layer is all Steam."
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2013/11/04/v...=rss_truncated
I couldn't care less about which Distro it's based on. It's far more important that it works (and that it uses Linux by default)
Uhmm why not just get a regular PC instead? The Steambox is just a PC with an OS optimized for TVs and game controllers.
Gabe has said that Steam OS will be completely open and hackable: "Users can alter or replace any part of the software or hardware they want." (http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/)
So, as long as the libraries/drivers etc are available for your architecture, you should be able to run it on any distro you please. I agree that the default distro will be Ubuntu-based, though.
That's my understanding anyhoo.
The timing is peculiar. While we'll get good news in January, I'm kind of expecting their bigger partners to not make any rollouts until Q3.
My reasoning is, if I were a partner I wouldn't want to lock-in on a hardware spec now... just behind the new MS/Sony consoles... and compete for scraps in a post-Xmas wasteland. I think we'll hear a lot of plans, then a big launch later, when the hardware specs can be set to be somewhat better or produced cheaper than the established players.
Of course, partners could update their specs by releasing multiple models during the first year, at some risk of customer confusion.
Whatever happens, it's going to be an interesting year.
So it is not a fully-fledged operating system where I can install everything.However, we are not planning support for spreadsheets
However I should still be able to install e.g. Fedora as a second operating system, right? I just hope that it will be possible to achieve the same gaming experience on a regular Linux distribution and that there aren't any important features that are exclusively available for the steam OS.
They also said that not only will they show retail Steam Machines at CES 2014 in early January, but also partners will announce their Linux game ports at the event, so that's why it has been quite on that front.

Editor's note: Upstate Medical University President Dr. David Smith sent a memo to Upstate employees March 6 that began, "You may be as offended as I was by the headline on the front page of The Post-Standard this morning, asking the question, 'What's Wrong at SUNY Upstate?'"
On Friday, The Post-Standard published a letter from Cornelius Murphy, president of the State University College of Environmental Science and Forestry, in which Murphy takes the paper to task for publishing at least three articles "on the same topic." He doesn't say what the topic was. He also mentions the headline.
Both presidents have a point. The headline was ambiguous. It was intended to ask a question that the story would then answer: What were the specific findings of the Liaison Committee on Medical Education that prompted LCME to place the medical school on probation for its accreditation? The headline could be read as a more open-ended "What ails Upstate?" kind of musing. It could have been more precisely focused on introducing the committee's findings.
Murphy's complaint, however, that the story "isn't news" and was not timely overlooks a crucial fact: The reporter had asked Upstate for a copy of the findings when news of the probation broke so that he could explain to readers why the committee decided what it did. Upstate officials would not give him a copy, so he filed a Freedom of Information Act request.
Upstate is a public institution, and one of the most important in the community. The law required it to turn over the report. By forcing a reporter to file a FOIA request to get it, Upstate itself insured that there would be a follow-up article about the probation.
Beyond that fact, Upstate's issues are news. Murphy says he has been "through at least 15-20 institutional and professional accreditation reviews during my tenure at ESF," and he says these reviews almost always find issues "that require attention and follow-up."
How many of them result in a major institution being placed on probation? Out of 136 U.S. medical schools, only four other medical schools were on probation when Upstate was added to the list. That is news, and to not put the news in context by explaining the "why" behind the "what" would be lazy and incomplete reporting.
