THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Concerned over sharp fall in the birth rate in Christian families, Catholic Church in Kerala has initiated the concept of 'larger families' with three or more children.
The idea was mooted at a two-day meet of the Kerala Catholic Bishops Council (KCBC) earlier this week in Kochi and the matter would come up for detailed discussion at its next meeting in August.
"The proposal was mooted by the Council's Family Commission headed by Bishop of Idukki Mathew Anikkuzhikkattil. The next meeting of KCBC would discuss the concept in detail and work out an action plan for its implementation at the
diocesan level", a KCBC spokesman said.
The demographic assessemnt of KCBC was that in Kerala the Muslim families alone were showing increase in children while the number of kids in both the Hindu and Christian families had been falling sharply.
A grass-root level campaign based on the theme of "respect to life" would be launched to popularise the concept. Ideas like giving certain special support to families with three or more children in church-run hospitals and educational institutions would also be considered, the spokesman said.
"We are not bothered about the numbers alone. Respect to life is a policy followed by the Catholic Church universally in tune with its Pro-Life Ministry," KCBC sources said.
A powerful Christian body, KCBC has as its members bishops from Kerala's three main Catholic streams--Syro Malabar, Latin and Syro Malankara hierarchies.
In Kochi, a Catholic Church spokesman, Father Paul Thelekat said the church was "anxious" and "concerned" at the falling birth rates in the Christian community.
Among the five denominations in the community, the lowest birth rate is of Marthomites, he said.
Attributing the fall in population to very strong influence of consumer culture, he said the church has been telling its faithful to "be open to future, and to procreation", he said.
Today children are seen as "disturbing" menace, whereas they should be welcomed as "gifts of god", he said.
Based on baptism and marriage registers in various churches in Ernakulam, he conducted a survey few years ago and its results were very alarming.
Catholics have been taught that they have the right to decide on the number of children according to their economic and health indications. However, statistics have shown that those who were economically more prosperous and healthy wanted fewer children, he said. This clearly indicates a very strong influence of consumer culture which was extremely materialistic, he said.
This culture was described by Pope John Paul II as the "culture of death," he said.

|Cut by Jets, hard-luck Hardin wonders what's next
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 02 August 2014 06:27
The free-agent safety, cut Friday by the New York Jets, just wants to play football, but his body keeps defying him.
Hardin missed his final college season at Oregon State with a shoulder injury, hurt his neck in his rookie year after being drafted in the third round by Chicago in 2012 and had a shoulder injury last summer.
The latest setback - a foot injury - sidelined him in camp with the Jets, and now Hardin is looking for a job a day after being released.
The 24-year-old safety says this injury might be the toughest to come back from. Not physically, but because of the timing. He hoped to play in all four preseason games. Now, he simply hopes for another chance.

KRM is a nice resettlement agency in Kentucky. It's too bad that often they only take those whose English skills are better than others.

New Music Video for Peaches "Mud"
We all know that Peaches likes to get down and dirty, but in this music video "Mud" she's literally getting drenched in dirty water, mud and other crazy gross stuff. Most of the music video features Peaches with mud flying at her face, and when Peaches isn't being barraged by debris, muddy dancers booty shake to the synth heavy beat. Apparently the mud they used for the video, was actually fertilizer. Peaches tells Spinner.com about her collaboration with visual artist and musician Vice Cooler:"Vice bought fertilizer to use as mud. I knew it was fertilizer but when they started dumping it on me, it smelt like, well, s---, because that is of course what it was. I really tried not to react, but the smell was so strong. You can see me react to the smell although I tried so hard not to. It was quiet a surreal moment. What we do for art!"
So, go watch Peaches get poop flung at her! It's pretty rad.

Bruins sign forwards Jamie Tardif and Josh Hennessy
|07.05.11 at 6:01 pm ET
Shortly after announcing their trade for defenseman Joe Corvo, the Bruins announced a couple of depth signings, as they inked forwards Jamie Tardif and Josh Hennessy to deals. Tardif's pact is for two-years, while Hennessy comes in on a one-year contract.
Tardif, 26, was a fourth-round pick of the Flames back in 2003. He has never played in the NHL and spent the last five seasons playing for Grand Rapids, the AHL affiliate of the Red Wings.
Hennessy, a Brockton native and 2003 second-round pick of the Sharks (43rd overall), has one goal in 20 career NHL games.

FRANK MALONEY has insisted that NO offer was made for David Price to challenge British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. The promoter was amazed to read Furys comment that Prices camp had turned down an offer to face him in Belfast this weekend.
Maloney said: I never received any offer in writing or verbally from Tysons promoter for David to face him on Saturday night.
I saw Tyson quoted saying David had said no to the Belfast fight, but that is rubbish. Nobody has been in touch.
I can only imagine that Tysons promoter was dreaming he made the offer and got a little confused.
Olympic bronze medallist Price (11-0) who defeated Fury when they were amateurs is still on a collision course to face him early next year.
The scouser boxes John McDermott (26-7) in a final eliminator for Furys British crown at Liverpool Olympia on Saturday November 19 which will be televised live on Sky Sports.
Maloney added: In fairness I would have turned the offer down if it did exist unless it was a staggering amount.
If David comes through Big John I want to promote the fight against Fury myself as it will become a level playing field and go to purse bids.
I know what it is worth and if David is still unbeaten after November 19 I will be bidding big to stage it in Liverpool.
The full undercard for the Liverpool card on November 19 will be announced over the next two weeks, but tickets are now on sale.
They will be available priced at £35 and £75 (Ringside) from www.frankmaloney.com and 0871 226 1508 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 0871 226 1508 end_of_the_skype_highlighting.
Youngest USA Female Promoter Debuts Sept. 30 In Philadelphia
Philadelphia, PABattle-tested welterweight prospect Ray Robinson fights at home for just the second time in his career when he faces Manuel Guzman of Lancaster, PA, in the scheduled eight-round main event Friday evening, Sept. 30, at the National Guard Armory in Northeast Philadelphia.
The Robinson-Guzman bout is part of history, making Brittany Rogers (President of Bam Boxing Promotions Inc.) the youngest female in the United States to promote a fight card. First of eight additional bouts begins at 7.30 p.m.
Rogers is a student at Temple University, finishing up her last semester as a Sport and Recreation major. She is 22 years old and making her dreams come true.
"Russell Peltz and Maureen Sacks, of Peltz Boxing, have given me the opportunity of a lifetime by taking me in as an intern in late April, said Rogers. They have taught me so much over the last few months and have guided me through this great experience of promoting my first show."
The last time Robinson fought in his Philadelphia backyard was in 2008 when he out-boxed Jason Jordan, of Akron, OH, over four rounds. Since then, Robinson has been seen on ESPNs Friday Night Fights as well as SHOBOX. He has tested himself by facing tough opposition in Eberto Medina, Darnell Jiles Jr., Harrison Cuello and world-ranked contenders Brad Solomon and Shawn Porter.
Robinson (11-2, 4 K0s) dropped decisions to Solomon and Porter, both of whom are undefeated. Solomon, who beat another Philadelphian this year, Demetrius Hopkins, is ranked No. 1 in the world by the WBA. Porter is No. 3 in the WBO world ratings. Robinson will be coming off a 14-month layoff and the southpaw is anxious to get back in the ring.
Guzman (7-12-2, 3 K0s) has boxed several area fighters, including Latif Mundy, Daniel Sostre, Bayan Jargal, Jamaal Davis, Jeremiah Wiggins, Sadam Ali, Ronald Cruz and Alex Perez. Guzmans most impressive win was his second-round knockout over Ardrick Butler, of Philadelphia, PA, in July of 2010.
Tickets priced at $65, $50, and $40 are on sale at the offices of Bam Boxing Promotions (215-280-6709), Peltz Boxing Promotions (215-765-0922). They also can be purchased online at bamonboxing.com. All of Bams food-concession proceeds will be donated to the Fox Chase Cancer Center.

UPDATE 1/24: Festus Ighalo, 37, of Virginia Beach, was sentenced Friday to 57 months in prison for conspiracy to defraud the government.
Ighalo pleaded guilty on October 8, 2013.
According to court documents, Ighalo and his co-defendant Emmanuel Effiong used their positions as nurses aids at Sentara Virginia General Hospital to obtain personal information from thousands of patients to file false tax returns.
Sentara Hospital systems sent letters to 3,862 patients - 217 this month - alerting them that their information was stolen.
NORFOLK -- Emmanuel Effiong, 36, formerly of Virginia Beach, was sentenced Friday to 81 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, for conspiracy to defraud the government and aggravated identity theft.
Effiong and his co-defendant Festus Ighalo, originally from Nigeria and now naturalized U.S. citizens, were former nurse aides at Sentara's Virginia General Hospital in Virginia Beach.
According to court documents, the pair allegedly accessed patient records and, along with other unnamed accomplices, filed false income tax returns in order to get refunds totaling approximately $400,000. The group reportedly received more than $116,000 before they were caught.
Effiong pleaded guilty on October 11, 2013.
Ighalo also pleaded guilty and will be sentenced on January 24, 2014.

AUSTIN, Texas—Steven Goode, associate dean for academic affairs at The University of Texas at Austin School of Law, has been appointed dean ad interim for the School of Law, effective Feb. 1, 2006, while the university conducts a nationwide search to replace Dean William C. Powers Jr., who will become the university's president.
Powers, who has been dean of the School of Law since 2000, will succeed President Larry R. Faulkner on Feb. 1, 2006.
Goode, who holds the G. Rollie White Teaching Excellence Chair in Law, has been a member of the Law School faculty since 1977 and is a UT Distinguished Teaching Professor. He teaches courses in evidence, criminal law, and professional responsibility.
"Professor Goode commands universal respect among his colleagues. He is a delight to work with and we are fortunate indeed that he has agreed to assume the leadership of the Law School," said Sheldon Ekland-Olson, provost at The University of Texas at Austin.
"Steve Goode has been a leader in our Law School for many years. He is an outstanding choice. I know he will work well with our students, faculty, and alumni," Dean Powers said.
"I am honored to be selected as interim dean," Goode said. "The Law School has prospered greatly under Bill Powers' leadership, and I intend to devote all my energies to helping move the Law School along the path to acknowledged excellence."
Goode graduated Phi Beta Kappa with highest honors in political economy from Williams College in 1972 and from Yale Law School in 1975. He had worked as a staff attorney at the Children's Defense Fund in Washington, D.C. before coming to Texas.
In 1998, Goode was elected to membership in the Academy of Distinguished Teachers of the University of Texas and in 1992 he was a recipient of the Texas Excellence Teaching Award.
Goode is the author of several books on the law of evidence and served as a reporter to the committees that drafted the Texas rules of evidence. He is currently a member of the Court of Criminal Appeals' Rules Advisory Committee. He lectures on evidence extensively throughout the state, and teaches frequently at the College of Advanced Judicial Studies of the Texas Center for the Judiciary.

Avoiding Trips To Emergency Room
Updated: Friday, August 16 2013, 01:57 PM EDT
If you have a new baby, you probably know there's a lot to learn, especially about safety.
Local 12's Liz Bonis "asks the experts" at TriHealth today about how to avoid the top troubles that lead to emergency room visits.
Little baby Drew is now five months old. His parents, Megan and Dave Sleater, are part of our newsroom producing team.
Outside of work at a t-v station, however, they say for the most part, life with Drew has been a walk in the park. Recently, however, they've noticed...
Megan Burgasser Sleater:
"He's a little busy body, he seems kind of nosy, likes to know what's going on."
So, the natural dilemma each day is how to let him get into the swing of things, you might say, while keeping curious Drew away from danger.
"You want him to feel safe."
"It is important to note, however, that no pediatrician wants a parent to be paranoid, new or not, but there is a short list of things that every pediatrician or emergency room physician says they wish every new parent knew.
That short list begins on the playground.
"Being aware of others children, peoples pets, they all want to pet a dog and a dog may not want to be petted."
Next up, Doctor Kurt Schibler says...
Dr, Kurt Schibler, TriHeath:
"This time of year, it's not as much of a problem, but in the viral season, keeping babies away from large crowds, people who have colds or respiratory issues themselves."
Sick people can give your baby breathing problems.
Finally, as Drew's parents have done, you also want to keep away from things that can burn them and potential choking hazards.
"Because everything goes in their mouths, so small toys, small foods articles, peanuts, things like that."
So far, curious Drew has avoided the ER for any of these common health hazards, but Dave admits, right now they can keep him pretty close.
Dave Sleater, Father:
"It'll be a little bit more interesting once he can crawl and get away from us a little bit (laugh)"
We do have a link with more information for parents about how to avoid emergency room visits.

what a little gem! i bought three more one for the car my purse and locker at work just bc i never want to be without this. After applying my makeup i use my ben nye banana powder to keep my extremely oily skin at bay around my nose forehead and chin then touch up with the essence powder throughout the day or night as needed. so basically as a blot powder instead of the ben nye powder since i dont want to add color and look cakey. this is perfect for that, adds no color not even a white cast just simply absorbs oil and is so light! i would have paid 20$+ for this if u can find it at ulta ur lucky grab it!! must have for me

Love this product. It is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted an actually translucent pressed powder that I could use to touch up through out the day. VERY CHEAP- under $5. It's a pure white powder that dusts on translucent. This is absolutely a dream for my extremely fair, combo skin, although those with deeper skin tones might want to go lighter handed. It's very buttery and soft- sometimes a tad too soft so there is excess powder after dusting your brush across it, but nothing major. The packaging is alrighty- moderately sturdy plastic that could withstand being carried around in bag for a while, but not sturdy enough where I'm confident about not smashing it. There's also no mirror, which sucks, but not a huge deal. That's alright though, a fantastic quality packaging would drive the price up. I plan to transfer this product to a mirror sturdy compact.
I don't like to use this in the morning. In the morning after all my foundation/concealer, I set it all with my MUFE HD powder (amazing). I find that the Essence powder doesn't quite do it for setting for me personally, it works better as a blotting powder throughout the day, which is exactly what I bought it for.
I dust this on, and magically, my oil is virtually gone leaving me with a fantastic matte, non powdery finish. Cannot get enough of this product.

i bought this product today because right now the temperature is very hot and humid and i really needed to do something about my oily t-zone.
i am using the SKIN79 Super Plus Beblesh Balm BB Cream but I needed some finish powder just in case. Today when i went to the shop to search for some sheer matt make up powder, and i got this one recommended from the shop assistent.
I was a bit unsure first because it was so cheap and the package was kind of unattractive to me on first sight.
But i was so wrong !!! I applied this powder after using the bb cream and my skin was so matt and not oily !! And it stayed like this for hours that being said its humid as heck and my skin would always go oily - no matter what.
So this is truly a great discovery and a really great miracle.
I´m so happy i discovered this product and can finally enjoy an oil free t-zone even during summer ^_^

Essence says "if you prefer pressed powders, this fine compact powder is for you! It can be applied above foundation to mattify your skin and set your makeup. For a matt, natural, and smooth complexion. Available in one transparent color for all skin types." I had a hard time tracking down this powder, I finally found it at my local Ulta. The All About Matt powder contains 8 grams (.28 oz) and sells for $4.99. Essence products are available at Ulta and Fred Myers stores in America. Essence does not test on animals. This pressed powder was made in Poland.
Packaging for Essence's All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder is quite plain and a little flimsy. This powder comes in a clear, mirrorless compact. The Essence logo and product name are printed on the flip top in bold red lettering. A grey label is affixed to the back of the compact. This label offers a description in English, German, and French as well as a full ingredient list. The red letters are very striking against the background of white powder, this product will immediately catch your eye in the Essence display. I think it is quite silly that there is no mirror in this compact, that doesn't make it very portable does it? Also, the clear case is an absolute magnet for fingerprints and smudges.
Essence's All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder is a matte, white pressed powder with a simple raised designed imprinted in it. This powder is firmly pressed and very finely milled. Despite being so dense in the pan, All About Matt kicks up a fair amount of excess powder, which seems to be a common theme with Essence's powder products. Essence has never shied away from offering unique and interesting products not typically available in American drugstores, and that is certainly true for this product. The closest drugstore equivalent to this powder is ELF's HD Powder, which is a loose setting powder. I assume Essence was trying to dupe NARS Light Reflecting Powder with this product. This white pressed powder is not meant to add any coverage at all, it exists solely to mattify and set foundation, and that is exactly what it does. Essence's Fixing Compact Powder takes down the shine of any foundation without giving the complexion an artificial matte finish. I can see why Essence calls it a fixing powder, as it seems to blur imperfections and greatly reduces the appearance of pores. The effects last for several hours, which is good since it isn't easy to reapply All About Matt on-the-go. I suggest patting this powder on with a flat powder brush like Essence's Powder Brush All About Matt is white in the pan, it goes on translucent when applied. This powder does not leave a white cast, but it neutralizes the color of the foundation underneath it.
I really like Essence's All About Matt Fixing Compact Powder, much more than I expected. Packaging isn't ideal. This white powder mattifies, controls oil, and masks pores without leaving a white cast. If you've been meaning to try an HD Powder but don't want to bother with the mess of loose powders, consider Essence's Fixing Compact Powder. It offers the same effect with much more practical application. In the past I've hit pan on Essence powder products very quickly, so I expect to finish and repurchase All About Matt.

Just what I needed. No Mica just straight mattyfying where I need it the most. I don't look like a glitter bomb and it sets my bb cream perfectly and holds it in place for the day. I'm a happy camper for now great makeup at reasonable prices thanks Essence.

NICE little product.
If TALC and SILICA had a baby, this would be the one.) It is excellent at absorbing oil, while applying smoothly and adding a soft focus effect. These qualities are provided mainly by the first three ingredients.
The third one in the list is SAPHIRE powder. It is rather odd as a cosmetic ingredient. I've never seen it before, but when you think of it saphire is just fancy glass, silica is glass too, so it is safe to assume they function alike.
ALUMINUM starch octenylsuccinate also has absorption abilities but it is mainly used in cosmetics as an anticaking agent, a great ingredient to have in a powder both for ease of application and for adhesion to skin.
The main ingredient is TALC, an ingredient that as a male with oily skin I could never live without. I love talc and I think people should not avoid it based on mere rumors.
Back to the powder itself, I was glad to give it a try but eventually went back to my usual routine: sunscreen, marcelle loose powder, bronzer/blush, and ELF silica. I have complete control of how much of each I apply instead of using a 2in1 product. But this performed similarly and some people might find the pressed powder form more practical. I prefer loose powders as I apply only at home in the morning, and don't need to carry sifters around. A couple of blottings through the day are more than enough.
But this would be a great powder that combines superbly the qualities of talc and silica, while being truly translucent and usable by everyone. Those with oily skin should not be worried as this does not contain mica. The pressed powder form and slim compact make it ideal for frequent touch-ups, thought you might not need as many with this product.:) Contains 0.28oz/8.0g. Made in Poland.
NOTE: Canadians should also give the MARCELLE loose powder a try.

Onstage music
The musical events of Kabuki can be divided into onstage activities (debayashi) and offstage groups (geza). In plays derived from puppet dramas, the gidayū musicians, called here the chobo, are placed on their traditional platform offstage left or behind a curtained alcove above the stage-left exit. If other genres are used, the performers are placed about the stage according to the scenery needs of the play. There are some plays in which several different kinds of onstage music are required, a situation called kake-ai. The most common dance scene today, however, is one in which the onstage group consists of nagauta musicians and the Noh hayashi. The samisen and singers are placed on a riser at the back of the stage, and the hayashi sit before them on floor level—thus, their other name of the shitakata, meaning "the ones below."
There are as many different types of dances that require different kinds of music as there are in Chinese or Western opera. In a general view, perhaps the most intriguing side of this variety is the relation of the older drum and flute parts to the vocal and samisen melodies of the Tokugawa period. In totally Kabuki-style pieces, the tsuzumi drums play a style called chirikara after the mnemonics with which the part is learned. The patterns of this style follow closely the rhythm of the samisen part. If the Noh flute is used as well, it is restricted to cadence signals; if a simple bamboo flute (takebue or shinobue) is substituted, it plays an ornamented (ashirai) version of the tune. There are many sections, however, in which the drum patterns and Noh flute melodies discussed earlier are combined with samisen melodies. In a classical repertoire of hundreds of set pieces, there are several different combinations, but to many listeners these situations seem rather puzzling at first hearing, with apparently two kinds of music going on at the same time. If the situation is from a play derived from a former Noh drama and uses the full hayashi, one notes first that the flute is not in the same tonality as the samisen nor is it playing the same tune. The drums in turn do not seem to relate rhythmically to the melody, as they do in the chirikara style. The drums and flute are, in fact, playing named stereotyped patterns normally of eight-beat length as in the Noh. The essential difference between them and the samisen melody is that they do not seem aurally to have the same first beat. A given samisen melody will often make room through silence for an important vocal call in the drum patterns, but the deliberate lack of coordination of beat "one" creates a vital rhythmic tension that makes the music drive forward until it is resolved at a common cadence. Each part is internally rigid and progressive, but its conflict with the other parts forces the music (and the listener) to move the musical event through a time continuum toward a mutual completion.
The Noh flute music is frequently related to the taiko stick-drum rhythm, so that they can be considered as a common unit rather than separate parts. There are situations in which the tsuzumi play chirikara patterns in support of the samisen melody, while the taiko and Noh flute play either Noh patterns or later Kabuki-named drum patterns "out of synchronization" with the other music. At such moments one can see that in Kabuki dance music, as in Western classical music, there are three kinds of musical needs. In the West they are melody, rhythm, and harmony. In this music they are melody, rhythm, and a third unit of one drum and a flute that functions like harmony although its sound is totally different. If this third Japanese feature is called the dynamism unit, then it can be said that nagauta dynamism and Western traditional harmony both serve to colour the line, to create tension that drives the music onward, and to help standardize the formal design of the piece by clarifying cadences or by creating the need for them. All this brings back the earlier point that music is not an international language. The equally logical but different aspect of this music is certainly most obvious and striking.
The formal aspects of Kabuki music are as varied as the plays with which music is connected. In dance pieces derived from Noh plays, many of the sectional terms of the Noh mentioned above are found. The classical Kabuki dance form itself often consists of sections divided into the traditional tripartite arrangement as shown below:
(1) deha or jo
oki michiyuki
(2) chūha or ha
kudoki, monogatari, odori ji
(3) iriha or kyū
chirashi, dangire.
Generally speaking, the oki represents all kinds of introductory instrumental sections (aigata, or in this case maebiki) or vocal parts (maeuta) before the entrance of the dancer. The michiyuki usually incorporates the percussion section as the dancer enters. The term kudoki is found in the early history of samisen music as a form of romantic music and is used here for the most lyrical section, in which the percussion is seldom heard. The monogatari (story) relates to the specific plot of the dance, and the odori ji is the main dance section, rather like the kuse or mai of the previous Noh form. During this section, the bamboo flute may appear for contrast and, in Noh style, the taiko drum may be important. The chirashi contains more active music, and the final cadence occurs during the dangire. There are endless variations and extensions of this form, but the many specific instrumentational and stylistic traits found in each of these sections help the listener to become aware of the logical and necessary progression of a given piece through a moment of time to its proper ending.
Most early collections (shōhon) of onstage music consisted of the text and samisen mnemonics (kuchi-jamisen, mouth samisen) of instrumental interludes (ai-no-te). In the 18th century some of the lyrical forms began to use syllables to represent fingering positions on the instrument, a system called the iroha-fu. In 1762 a set of circles with various extra markings along with the string number were combined in a book called the Ongyoku chikaragusa to create a more accurate if complicated system. Further rhythmic refinements were created in the 1828 Genkyoku taishinsho, but it was not until the modern period that Arabic numbers in the French chevé style (apparently learned in Germany by Tanaka Shōhei) were combined with Western rhythmic and measured devices to create notations that could be sight-read without the aid of a teacher. Three variations on this technique form the basis of most modern samisen notations, although occasional pieces can be found in Western notation as well. Thus, it is possible to purchase large repertoires of nagauta, kouta, or kiyomoto music for performance or study alone. Motivating such notational changes was the increased interest during the mid-19th century in samisen music composed for concert performance (ozashiki) rather than as dance accompaniment. Such a tradition is common practice for all the samisen genres today.

Acee: Robert Meachem shouldn't be on field as much right now
One thing you can't fault Meachem for is his desire. The dude seems to carry the weight of the Chargers' 24th-ranked offense on his slender shoulders. There is a thought that his inability to channel that pressure is what is keeping him from reaching his potential here.
Meachem is not hopeless. He made a touchdown catch in New Orleans that illustrated both his ability and that Rivers had grown to trust him. That pass he dropped in Cleveland was the result of him being wide open, showing exactly how he can fit into this offense.
The Chargers last week had two street free agents -- Alexander, who was held back by injuries in his previous two seasons and had been unemployed since the St. Louis Rams cut him in August, and Seyi Ajirotutu, who caught one pass for the Carolina Panthers in 2011 and had been unemployed just three fewer days than Alexander – on the field for a combined 59 snaps against Kansas City.
Wow. Long way from Chris Chambers and Vincent Jackson, with Malcom Floyd for the death blow. Sheesh, Kassim Osgood might have been able to crack Thursday's lineup.
It is only interesting (not important) that Alexander and Ajirotutu made four catches for 89 yards on Thursday at a cost of $63,529 where the Meachem-Eddie Royal tandem has averaged three receptions and 35 yards through eight games at a collective weekly cost of $176,470 (not counting their combined $12 million in signing bonuses.)
Alexander should stick on this team even if Meachem and Royal return from their hamstring injuries better than ever.
But there is no way the Chargers are better straight up trading Alexander and Ajirotutu for Meachem and Royal. The two veterans possess skills that make them dangerous.
It's just that right now, Meachem doesn't belong on the field in the same role he has been.
And, while Turner is at taking drastic measures, he should let Eric Weddle go back to just being one of the best free safeties in the league. When Royal isn't available to field punts, it should be Antoine Cason.
Just trying to help my guy keep his job.

US private job growth jumps in June
Published on Jul 2, 2014 9:07 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US private sector revved up hiring in June with broad-based gains that suggest the economy is picking up steam, payrolls company ADP said on Wednesday.
The private sector added 281,000 jobs in June, surging higher from a lacklustre 179,000 in May.
It was the strongest monthly gain since November 2012. Analysts expected a much smaller rise of 200,000 jobs.
"The job market is steadily improving," said Mr Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody's Analytics, which helps compile the ADP report. "Judging from the job market, the economic recovery remains fully intact and is gaining momentum."

I was the same TRW ... found the idea of a politician very scary!

Your Car and Clean Air: What YOU Can Do to Reduce Pollution
EPA420-F-93-002, August 1994
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has prepared this fact sheet to answer some of the most common questions about reducing emissions from private vehicles. This is an important concern, as cars are a major source of air pollution in the United States. Vehicle emissions contribute to health and environmental problems such as urban smog, air toxics, and global warming. Yet individual driving habits make a big difference in the amount of pollution a car produces. Three easy things you can do to help keep emissions as low as possible are:
Avoid Unnecessary DrivingThe most effective way to reduce emissions from your vehicle is to use it less. Vehicle travel in this country is doubling every 20 years. Traffic trends that see more and more cars driving more and more miles will soon begin to outpace technological progress in vehicle emission control.
Several options are available to help you reduce the amount you drive. These include consolidating trips, telecommuting, carpooling, using public transit, and choosing clean transportation alternatives such as biking or walking.
By planning errands, you will get the most out of time you do spend behind the wheel. For example, call ahead to confirm that the product you need is in stock before you drive to the store. Plan to do several tasks when you go somewhere. Drive to a central location and park. Then walk between nearby destinations.
Ridesharing can be an ideal way to reduce your personal contribution to pollution. Every time you share a ride and eliminate a trip, you help the environment. Try pairing up for trips to work or to social events - even an occasional carpool or ride on public transportation will make a difference.
Biking or walking to your destination creates no pollution at all. And you'll increase your fitness level at the same time.
Maintain Your Car ProperlyYou will reduce your car's emissions and enhance its performance if you follow the manufacturer's recommended maintenance guidelines. By taking proper care of your car, you will also extend its life, increase its resale value, and optimize its "gas mileage" or fuel economy.
The owner's manual that comes with your car contains a wealth of information. It outlines recommended maintenance intervals, product specifications, and operating procedures. The manual also explains the manufacturer's warranty of the emission control system. Contact the manufacturer or a nearby dealer to obtain a copy of the owner's manual if you do not have one.
Every car has some items that need to be checked on a regular basis and others that need to be replaced periodically. These include the air filter, vacuum and coolant hoses, oil, oil filter, fluids, belts, and so on. It's also important to keep the tires inflated to the recommended pressure. This will minimize tire wear and help your car get the best possible fuel economy.
Be sure to have your car serviced by a skilled technician who understands modern emission control systems. If a modern car has high emissions, it is usually due to a defined malfunction that needs to be fixed. The type of simple adjustments that once occurred during tune-ups will no longer correct the problem.
Finally, be aware that pollution will increase dramatically if you tamper with your car's emission control system or use leaded gasoline in a vehicle designed for unleaded gasoline. These activities are illegal - for individual vehicle owners as well as for fleet operators and auto technicians. Today's vehicles are designed with emission controls as integral components of the powertrain. Any tampering with this system will not only drastically increase emissions but is likely to have a negative effect on vehicle performance and durability.
Use of leaded gasoline in a vehicle designed for unleaded gasoline can irrevocably damage the emission control system. Fortunately, such fuel-switching practices are becoming increasingly rare as leaded gasoline becomes harder to find. It is now illegal to manufacture or sell new vehicles requiring leaded gasoline. Sale of motor vehicle gasoline containing lead or lead additives will be prohibited in the United States beginning January 1, 1996.
Many drivers ask about use of "premium" or "super" grade gasolines. These fuels contain additives to increase octane. Octane is a measure of how much a fuel can be compressed in an engine before it spontaneously combusts. It is not a measure of fuel power or quality. Only a small percentage of vehicles require high-octane gasoline for optimum performance (these are generally turbo-charged or high-performance vehicles). Check your owner's manual to see what type of fuel is recommended for your car. Unless your car needs high-octane gasoline, use of "premium" will not improve performance or emissions - it will just cost you more.
Drive Wisely: Helpful Habits to Reduce PollutionEven a perfectly maintained car will pollute more than necessary if it is driven carelessly. Your car's emissions will be lower if you apply common sense to your driving and follow basic rules of the road. Driving situations likely to increase pollution include:
Idling:You will save gas by turning the engine off and restarting it again if you expect to idle for more than 30 seconds. You will also prevent pollution by avoiding long idles. Try parking your car and going into restaurants, banks, and the like instead of idling in drive-up lanes.
Stop-and-Go Driving:Driving in traffic is not always avoidable. But whenever possible, plan trips outside rush hour and peak traffic periods. Try to "smooth" your driving by accelerating and decelerating gradually, anticipating stops and starts for traffic lights, changing traffic speeds, and so on.
Air Conditioning:Use of a vehicle air conditioner increases load on the engine. This can increase emissions and decrease fuel economy. Try opening the window or the fresh air vent to cool the inside of your vehicle. Also, park in the shade if you can to prevent the car from heating up in the sun. Besides keeping the interior temperature of your car more comfortable, you will lessen the pollution and waste that occurs when gasoline evaporates from the engine and gas tank.
High Engine Loads:Your car burns more gas and emits more pollution when the engine is operating under high load; that is, when it is working especially hard. Extra load is created by running the air conditioner, quick accelerations, high-speed driving, climbing grades, revving the engine, and carrying extra weight.
Cold Temperatures:Emission control systems take longer to warm up and become fully operational in cold weather. However, idling will not help. Modern vehicles need little warmup; they're most efficient when being driven. Idling for long periods in cold weather can actually cause excessive engine wear.
Refueling:Spilled gasoline pollutes the air when it evaporates. Watch what you do at the gas station to prevent spills and overfills. It's best to avoid "topping off," especially in hot weather. Apply the same precautions against sloppy handling when refueling outdoor power equipment such as lawnmowers and outboard motors.

He started the journey May 11 and rode 3,600 miles to the East Coast, completing his trek on Aug. 20.
The bike ride highlighted the nationwide launch of the Face It Foundation, a nonprofit headquartered in Northeast that works to help men talk more openly about depression. Meier, a Windom Park resident and an adjunct instructor at the University of Minnesota's School of Social Work, co-founded the nonprofit with his best friend Bill Dehkes.
Meier had a long struggle with serious depression and refused to talk about his condition for many years. Now he's open about his previous struggles with the mental illness and is on a mission to encourage other men who have depression to talk about their troubles and seek treatment.
"We put our personal lives on hold," Dehkes and Meier wrote an e-mail celebrating the end of their ride. "We said goodbye to our families and friends and set out to make a difference in the way this country looks and addresses depression in men. … We made it clear to the world that Face It [Foundation] will create change, provide hope and make a difference in the lives of men with depression."
Meier's daughter Anna, 15, rode from Denver to Ann Arbor — a 1,500-mile portion of the journey. Dehkes drove the RV.

Sheltering Arms Foundation grants nearly $500,000 to nonprofits
The Sheltering Arms Foundation, the Minneapolis-based foundation devoted to funding nonprofits that benefit children in need, has awarded $492,000 in grants to 40 Minnesota-based nonprofits. Those beneficiaries include Downtown-based organizations such as the MacPhail Center for Music, People Serving People and St. David's Center for Child & Family Development.
"Each of these programs is working to serve vulnerable children around Minnesota,"said Sheltering Arms Foundation Executive Director Denise Mayotte. "The McPhail Center is partnering with the Wilder Center in St. Paul make music and arts a part of early childhood education for kids who wouldn't normally have exposure to this caliber of program. The arts are an excellent way to learn and grow."
The nonprofits awarded grants by the Sheltering Arms Foundation have a wide variety of services and programs, but they all share a common goal: to help vulnerable children and their families. "We're looking for programs that serve the most vulnerable children," said Mayotte. "That's the mission of the foundation. We have a number of ways of defining that. We also look for ways for them to grow and develop their quality. In addition to the direct service grants, we're very interested in advocacy work for children's issues. We feel that there is a place for foundation support advocacy to gain more funds for children's issues. We're really proud to act in partnership with other organizations that feel
that way."
Since its inception in 1983, the Sheltering Arms Foundation has issued grants in excess of $12 million.

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit dceh.org.
Keegan's Pub hosts "Halfway to St. Patrick's Day"
UNIVERSITY AVENUE — On Saturday, Sept. 17, Keegan's Pub, 16 University Ave. NE, will hold its 10th annual "Halfway to St. Patrick's Day" event, celebrating the exact halfway mark to the Irish holiday.
"This will be the 10th time we've hosted this event," said pub owner Terry Keegan in a statement. "We originated it in 2002 and it gets bigger and better each year."
Keegan's Pub will host two days of events to celebrate the occasion. The Irish band Erin Rogue will perform at an outdoor tent party behind the pub on the evening of Sept. 16. On Saturday, Sept. 17, the tent will host performances by Scott Devlin followed by another set by Erin Rogue.

The Mosaic Company commits $100,000 for famine relief
The Mosaic Company and the American Refugee Committee (ARC) have announced a dollar-for-dollar match of up to $100,000 toward famine relief efforts in Somalia. The Minneapolis-based Mosaic Company is committing a matching grant for all donations made through GiveMN.org and will cover all credit card transaction fees to maximize the effectiveness of all donations.
Minnesota is home to the country's largest Somali population, and Minneapolis-based ARC has partnered with the Somali community to coordinate efforts to battle the famine in Somalia; the first declared famine in 20 years.
"By making this generous gift, Minnesotans can join Mosaic in the fight against famine in Somalia, stand with our local Somali community and demonstrate the spirit and generosity of Minnesota," said ARC President Daniel Wordsworth in a statement. "This donation will help the people of Somalia for whom each day is a struggle to survive."
To make a matched donation, visit GiveMN.org.
Friendship Center celebrates a 35-year run
BOTTINEAU — The Friendship Center Licensed Adult Day Program, located across from the East Side Neighborhood House at 1717 2nd St. NE, will host an open house on Wednesday, Sept. 21 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to mark its 35th year in existence.
Donna Kavanaugh, the director at the Friendship Center, said the event is a simple way of inviting the community into the service center so that people can get an idea of what they do and who they are helping.
The center is designed to be an alternative to nursing homes for independent or semi-independent seniors, offering them a chance to socialize with others their own age. Exercise, meals, trips and other events are included in the program offerings.
Friendship Center can take as many as 23 people, but Kavanaugh said there are usually around 15 participants. Because it is a small group, she said it is an intimate day center where strong bonds are formed.
"As you get older, you start to lose some of your friends, and the walls start to close in on you a bit," she said. "Here, people can kick back and make friends and just spend time in a different way."
Day center participants come from St. Anthony and Columbia Heights, but as far as St. Paul and St. Louis Park, Kavanaugh said.
Friendship Center is one of the oldest adult day service centers in Minneapolis. It was originally located at 2nd Avenue NE and 2nd Street NE.
Anyone interested in attending the open house is asked to RSVP by calling 612-781-2052.

I'm new to Windows 8 and what I have a friend, who's been a Windows user for many many years(great to have one of those around) tell me is that there's a built-in backup solution called File History. So I opted for that. I guess it's called Windows Backup here. It's backing up to a seperate harddrive.
If it's any good I have yet to find out - so far so good. I'm only a few days in.
I'm looking in having a seperate full backup on an external drive so I'm following this thread.

It seems like most where not. Is there a guideline for how small a hole can be. I can't find one on the material page. I feel like it used to be there. it feels like the powder could not be removed from the holes. I made this 1mm thick so perhaps it would have broken if the depowder air was really forced onto it. If I make this part thicker do you think it can be better cleaned(if that is the problem)? Or do I really just need to make the holes larger? Originally the holes where larger but then the wallthickness was below 0.7mm. I tried to respect that more by thickening the lines but I'm not really happy with the final outcome. A lot of the holes are 0.5mm square or greater, they have an indent but don't go all the way through.

Bachelor of Arts (BA): Film and Video Production Degree Overview
Learn about film and video production bachelor's degree programs. Read on for info regarding such programs' required and elective coursework, training completed, admission requirements, and job opportunities upon graduation.
Essential Information
The Bachelor of Arts program in film and video production is designed for individuals seeking to apply the principles of cinematography, video editing, and directing to careers in media production. Concentrations may be available in cinema studies, documentary production, animation or sound design.
The film and video production curriculum is comprised of traditional classroom instruction, workshops, seminars, and professional training through special projects. In some programs, students gain professional experience in the field through the completion of a capstone project and/or thesis.
Applicants to this program are required to have at least a high school diploma or its equivalent. Some schools may require students to take a certain number of courses before acceptance into the film and video production major. These courses may cover areas such as visual and audio media principles, animation and pop cultural studies.
Course Topics
Students receive a solid foundation in production basics, such as classical narrative structure, multi-camera filming and digital editing. In addition to technical training, they explore film and television theory, media history, communications, and social science. Throughout the program, students learn to examine artistic media and cultural expression, understand the film industry, and make films.
This degree program prepares students to carry out a range of professional duties, such as mounting cameras, editing raw camera footage, coordinating the tasks of crewmembers, and dispensing technical direction to onscreen talent. Some non-technical skills that students learn include the ability to conduct independent research, write scripts, and read critically. Students receive a mixture of theoretical and technical training in subjects such as:
- Audio production
- Scriptwriting
- Film editing
- TV interpretation
- Motion picture production
Popular Career Options
Graduates may find themselves working in an extremely diverse range of environments, such as movie sets, television news studios, ad agencies, production studios and editing rooms. Occupations may include:
- Key grip
- Producer
- Director
- Cinematographer
- Boom operator
Employment Outlook and Salary Information
Producers and directors are estimated to have 3% job growth during the 2012-2022 decade, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). This growth is slower than average, and the BLS expects intense competition in the field. The mean wage for producers and directors in May 2012 was $92,390. While those working in the motion picture and video industries earned a mean wage of $114,450, those working in radio and TV broadcasting made a lower mean wage of $67,110.
Continuing Education Information
While bachelor's holders may be prepared to gain entry-level positions in the field, they may also choose to further their education through the completion of a master's degree program. Graduate programs in film production are intensive 2-year programs that educate students in filmmaking, directing, editing, cinematography, sound design and digital editing. Specific programs students can complete include a Master of Fine Arts in Film and Video Production.

X.org Debugger Kit for Intel Graphics Chips
Eric Anholt of Intel's Open Source Technology Center has announced Intel GPU Tools 1.0 on the X.org mailing list. The toolset should help driver development for, and error detection of, Intel graphics chips.
The GPU toolset includes programs for debugging, testing and performance measurement. If the graphic hangs, the program emits intel_gpu_dump messages that should help developers. The testing and measurement programs have direct access to the kernel through direct rendering manager (DRM) hardware.
Graphic mode changes per kernel-based mode setting (KMS) detection has been around since Kernel 2.6.29. Intel Linux developer Carl Worth added the GPU dump messages for those experiencing GPU hangs and bade the community to use intel_gpu_dump to send in bug reports. Worth: "I know it's not much fun for you, but I'm delighted that you have such a repeatable way to cause your GPU to hang." Caveat: running the GPU tools requires code in a version of the Intel i915 kernel driver that is still in development in the 2.6.30-rc2 kernel, around since mid-March.
The GPU tools are available for download as bz2 or gz archives along with their checksums from the X.org mailing list.
