An unforgettable opening concert on 16 September at the Grimaldi Forum - Gianluigi Gelmetti conducted Verdi's Requiem, with 200 performers on stage and more than 1,600 fans in the concert hall!
On 23 September, the conductor Lionel Bringuier, who is from Nice, and the violinist Leonidas Kavakos, received a heartfelt ovation from an audience of almost 1,000 people at the Auditorium Rainier III.
On 30 September, the OPMC, split into two groups, performed in two different places in the Principality – a musical morning in the Salle Garnier … the OPMC had the pleasure of playing host to the great violinist Renaud Capuçon, who delighted the public by playing and conducting works by Mozart and Schubert. More than 500 lucky people had the chance to applaud - the concert had been sold out for several weeks!
An afternoon of sacred music at the Église Saint-Charles …
The first free concert of sacred music was a great success – the church was full of more than 400 faithful fans and members of the audience who were attending this type of concert for the first time, some of whom were standing!
The next free concert in this series will take place on 23 December.

GeForce2 MX/MX 400 never worked
My GeForce 2Mx drivers under linux never worked :(
I tried under SuSE (7.0 8.0 9.0), RedHat(8.0 9.0) and Mandrake(9.0)
Always the same error:
black screen, a lot of random white pixels just in the upper 1/3 of the screen and all the system is freezing and I must reboot manualy.. :(
Can somebody help me?
which driver versions have you tried?
and does the nv driver work?
I tried with a lot of drivers (today I tried with the latest:
Version: 1.0-5328
Operating System: Linux IA32
Release Date: December 22, 2003
but no one works, the same random white pixels on the first third of the screen.
I run the setup and after that enable it using sax2 (I'm using SuSE 9.0), but when I enable it, random pixels and blocked system. :(
I think the drivers module was loaded.
Try with version 2314. It was the last driver that worked fine with a geforce2.
See you,
Have a look HERE and see if this helps you.
thanks for answers, but no working... The same results, but in the case of the old driver just 1 pixel in the upper left corner.
The problem is when I'm activating the drivers with sax2...
This pixels sugests me that maybe it's a wrong video memory address, or another stuff related to video addressing.
So, I think the drivers functioning but not with correct parameters :(
Do you know if nvidia linux drivers require some disable/enable parameters in the BIOS?
Thanks in advance.
PS: I forget to mention before: with the nv drivers every it's correct.

Gear Review
Don't Waste Your Time
We bought this model for all 3 of our kids, two at Backcountry and the third at a different store. Two of the 3 pairs have blown out, leather has separated from the sole, on the front corners near the toe area. One after 11 months use, the other after a months use. Thankfully Backcountry has a great return policy and will handle the warranty issues for use. We will be trying a new model, hopefully with better results.
Follow-up to this review. Another pair that we bought to replace the pair that lasted a month has started to fall apart and it hasn't been quite a month on those yet.

Jacky, another fabuolus shot, but that's the Manahttan Bridge in the foreground. The Brooklyn Bridge is further south to the left.
A wonderful picture of what may be the most photographed building in NY City. It was the first skyscraper in NYC to be designed in what was known as The Chicago School, where the building takes on the format of a classical column. The first steel framed skyscraper appeared in Chicago in 1884. NYC allowed steel framing in 1892. From 1899-1908, NY's Park Row Building was the tallest, at 119 m. The Flatiron is only 87 m. But the world famous Flatiron remains one of the most beloved and beautiful of all.

Today is the 23rd anniversary of the sixth prime minister of India—Rajiv Gandhi, who was assassinated on May 21 1991 by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) suicide bomber in Sriperumbudu, Tamil Nadu.
Earlier today, Sonia, accompanied by son Rahul Gandhi, daughter Priyanka Gandhi and son-in-law Robert Vadra, paid their respects. While the family stands together on Rajiv Gandhi's 23rd Death Anniversary, their sorrow coincides with the defeat of the Indian National Congress in the Lok Sabha elections 2014.
Incidentally, in 1984 Rajiv Gandhi led a historic victory for the party by securing 404 seats in the Lok Sabha—highest majority the country had ever witnessed. Three decades since Rajiv Gandhi's landslide victory in Lok Sabha, his death anniversary marks the triumphant win of Narendra Modi in the Lok Sabha Elections of 2014.
In contrast, his son Rahul Gandhi has driven the Congress to its historic defeat. On May 16, 2014, the Indian National Congress (INC) witnessing its worst defeat since the first Indian general elections in 1951-52. Their current tally of 44 is far lower than their previous worst of 114 (in 1999). The irony lies in the fact that three decades after Rajiv Gandhi's majority mark in history it is the Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial elect Narendra Modi that created history by winning a majority of 284 seats in the Lok Sabha.
President Pranab Mukherjee, Vice President Hamid Ansari, outgoing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and the late leader's wife and Congress President Sonia Gandhi offered flowers at his memorial 'Vir Bhumi'. Prominent leaders including the Prime Minister elect Narendra Modi as well as Shashi Tharoor paid homage through social media website Twitter, in memory of late Rajiv Gandhi.
My homage to former PM Shri Rajiv Gandhi on his death anniversary.

A dignified, sober&well-attended ceremony at 6am to commemorate the 23rd death anniversary of RajivGandhi. Good crowd pic.twitter.com/HuqJM3bwhO
— Shashi Tharoor (@ShashiTharoor) May 21, 2014
And even though, today, the Indian National Congress (INC) remains defeated, Rajiv Gandhi is remembered for his leadership and diplomacy.
Rajiv Gandhi led the Indian National Congress in their victory after the loss of his mother Indira Gandhi, who was assassinated on October 31, 1984 by her Sikh bodyguards. His charming personality and his energetic youth, drew the masses to building faith in his leadership. His legacy includes a combination of successful economic and foreign policies.
The reduction in License Raj in post 1990 period, introduction of national policies to modernize education were some of the feathers in his cap of great economic policies. He also led the legacy of his mother in working towards poverty in rural areas. He managed to have skillful diplomatic relations with the US and at the same time strengthening bonds of friendship with the USSR.
He was, although, also involved in a number of controversies, including the Bhopal disaster, Shah Bano case, Bofors scandal, that tainted his image.
Commenting on the anti-Sikh riots in Delhi, Rajiv Gandhi had once said, "When a giant tree falls, the earth below shakes". A comment still ringing in the ears of many.
His assassination was the result of personal conflict with the Tamil radical group LTTE for sending the Indian Peace Keeping Force (IPKF) for peace efforts in Sri Lanka during Eelam war (1987). The IPKF was, supposedly, involved in many murderous crimes against Tamils in the Sri Lanka. This action was unpopular in India as well, especially in Tamil Nadu, as India was in the midst of fighting with the Tamil separatists. Rajiv Gandhi refused to withdraw the IPKF, believing that the only way to end the civil war was to politically and militarily force the LTTE to surrender.
"India is an old country, but a young nation; and like the young everywhere, we are impatient. I am young and I too have a dream. I dream of an India, strong, independent, self-reliant and in the forefront of the front ranks of the nations of the world in the service of mankind." - Rajiv Gandhi

My Rating
Extremely courteous and helpful crew, made everything possible for the trip to be enjoyable. The trip itself was excellent -- perfect duration, great views of SF, Alcatraz and Golden Gate Bridge. Getting below the bridge was a blast. The kids really liked the mesh that you can sit on only few feet above water. The boat is large enough not to have too much roll.
I would absolutely recommend the trip to anyone.

09 July 2013 23:00 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--Here is Tuesday's end of day Americas oil and chemical market summary from ICIS.
CRUDE: Aug WTI: $103.53/bbl, up 39 cents; Aug Brent: $107.81/bbl, up 38 cents
NYMEX WTI crude futures rose, tracking a rally in the stock market and despite a stronger dollar. Strong gains in the refined products also provided underlying support. Following the NYMEX close, WTI spiked to $104.75/bbl after the weekly supply statistics from the American Petroleum Institute (API) showed a drawdown in crude stocks of 9m bbl. Gasoline inventories fell nearly 3.5m bbl, contrary to expectations of a build.
RBOB: Aug $2.9260/gal, up 4.23 cents/gal
Reformulated blendstock for oxygen blending (RBOB) gasoline futures prices rebounded from Monday's drop as crude futures increased. Wednesday's US Energy Information Administration (EIA) report is expected to show a build in gasoline inventories, which could weaken RBOB futures.
NATURAL GAS: Aug: $3.657/MMBtu; down 8.4 cents
The August contract on the NYMEX natural gas futures market closed Tuesday's session down over 2%, losing most of the gains posted on Monday due to cooler near-term weather forecasts for the Midwest. The latest predictions suggest that Tropical Storm Chantal will also hit Florida instead of entering the Gulf of Mexico, thus safeguarding offshore oil and gas production.
ETHANE: lower at 24.25 cents/gal
Ethane spot prices were lower, tracking lower natural gas futures.
AROMATICS: styrene up at 74-75 cents/lb
Prompt styrene spot prices were discussed within a slightly higher range during the day, sources said. The range was up from 73-74 cents/lb FOB (free on board) a week earlier.
OLEFINS: ethylene done lower at 56.75 cents/lb, RGP done lower at 56.625
US July ethylene traded lower at 56.75 cents/lb on Tuesday, lower than deals done at 57.00-58.00 cents/lb the previous week. US refinery-grade propylene (RGP) traded lower at 56.625 cents/lb compared with the previous reported deal at 57.500 cents/lb.

Jermaine O'Neal to decide on whether to have surgery next week
|01.14.11 at 7:34 pm ET
Jermaine O'Neal has already met with the Celtics medical staff and will meet with a doctor on Monday for a second opinion on whether he should have surgery on his knee. O'Neal said he would make an announcement on Tuesday. "My preference is to play," O'Neal said. "You don't get this opportunity very often."
If O'Neal did have surgery he would likely be out anywhere from 2-3 months. That timeframe would possibly put him back by the end of the regular season, but realistically it would be very difficult for him to contribute this season.
"If it means two months or more, that's basically it," Doc Rivers said. "Everyone thinks when you say two months that means you play in two months. No, that means you start working out in two months. If you're coming back in April and you haven't played all year, there's a very low chance of that you're going to help us."
Rivers said that O'Neal's decision would have no bearing on what happens with Kendrick Perkins and his rehab. "They're two different things," Rivers said. "I'm going to look out for the best interest of J.O. and I'm going to look out for the best interest of Perk and I'm going to do that separately."
O'Neal said he is beyond frustrated by this latest turn of events. After missing 19 games he was able to return and had played well defensively, but he had a tough back-to-back last weekend and his knee swelled up after practice on Tuesday.
"It's past that. It's past frustrating. It's far past that," he said. "I didn't foresee this happening."

When it comes to hiking, from experience, I know that shoes matter. The right shoes will not only enable you to walk the whole mile but will also offer your feet the necessary comfort that is necessary after the walk. Hiking involves terrains that are usually extreme and tough. Your feet and the shoes you wear are you key strength to making a successful walk though. This situation brings us back to the essence of selecting the appropriate hiking shoes for whichever walk you need.
Hiking boots are the type of footwear that are specifically designed for tough terrain walking. When hiking, your ability to walk faster and safely relies on the type of boots or shoes that you wear during the hiking event. The material and flexibility of the shoes are deliberate to make the feet comfortable and protected from water, mud, rocks and other unimagined challenges that waits a hiker. What makes good hiking shoes?
Qualities of good hiking shoes
The best hiking shoes are those that have thick soles and heels. Light trainer shoes offer an alternative to rigid ankle high boots. The light trainers' shoes usually have light soles making them easy to walk with and lighter than the boots. You may cover long distance with the shoes but face the danger of injury from the rough terrain. The light soles prevent missteps because the hiker feels the ground. The best hiking shoes should not be loose or too tight. Too tight or too loose may cause blisters and sore feet. So the best shoes for you will depend on the terrain and the extent of the journey. If you are expecting a tough mountainous terrain thick soles would be better. However, if the terrain is not that bad, take trainer shoes for their lightness and comfort.
Types of hiking shoes
Having realized that there are no particular good hiking shoes and that the nature of the hike defines the type of shoes that are suitable, let us look at the options of shoes that you have. You can get trail shoes if you intend to go hiking in dry climates. The shoes are also good for less rugged paths and well established paths. If you intend to go for hiking that would take some day, this are the shoes for you.
Trail hikers are shoes that are designed for hiking that takes place in steeper inclines and muddy paths. The shoes are sturdy and have higher cut. They are lightweight and waterproof. The strength of these boots are their stability and the protection they offer from rocks.
Mountain walking are boots that are designed for mountainous terrain and walking up the hills. The boots allow for crampons to be attached to them so that a better grip is realized. The boots are strong, durable and are designed with stiff soles. The boots offer the ankle the best support and protection from the mountainous terrain. Look for taller and stiffer boots when you need this type of hiking shoes.
Brands of hiking boots you should look for
Keen hiking boots are an ideal trail shoes. The shoes have rubber soles that make them flexible and light. The boots are made of leather with a waterproof membrane. Keen are available is shoes style as well. The shoes have dual density soles that are compression moulded with EVA midsole. You may also choose Salomon hiking boots for their protection and dynamic cushioning. The shoes are made of textile and rubber sole. The textile is waterproof and has breathable Gore-Tex membrane that prevents formation of blisters. The shoes are popular for their gusseted tongue that locks debris from entering into the shoes.

Even though patients leave doctors' offices fully informed regarding same-day-surgery procedures, a trip through the Pre-Admission Testing Department is often advisable. Patients can become so saturated with new information that they're unable to absorb it all. Poorly prepared, they can cause delays in schedules that are expensive as well as annoying to all involved. It happens to patients of all ages but I recall one sweet old man who thought he was doing everything right. Expecting to have a colonoscopy, he had concerns about all the liquid he would have to drink the preceding day. Somewhere in there, he lost an important detail but was so pleased that he'd had no problem drinking a couple quarts of liquid. He started about four days before he was scheduled, drinking a little each day until he finished it.
Planning for retirement, my last UVMC position was once a week in Pre-Admission Testing, interviewing and teaching those who would be our patients. Colonoscopies are an excellent diagnostic tool for discovering cancerous or pre-cancerous lesions. At age 72, my dad died from cancer that metastasized from the lower left colon to every major organ in his body. He was a stroke survivor, functioning from a wheelchair and never thinking that he wouldn't fully recover. He used to ask me why his back hurt so badly and my standard answer was, "Daddy, if I had to sit in a wheelchair all day, my back would hurt, too." I don't feel guilty for that anymore. We just didn't know it was already too late. For that reason alone, it made sense to go through the process every 3 to 5 years, thinking of the family history I was passing on to my children. And I did, for awhile.
I worked very hard to convince every patient that there was no pain involved in the procedure, their privacy would be respected, and they'd be cared for by highly skilled medical personnel, most of whom had willingly subjected themselves to the scope. We'd all lived through it! Following that rehearsed performance, I got around to the part they had to do for themselves, the hard part: The Pre-Procedure-Bowel-Emptying -Process. I shared a couple little hints, like using an eight ounce cup, making the liquid look like a smaller amount than when poured into a glass. It's really not possible to trick yourself but I thought it helped me. I divided the whole amount into two pitchers so I'd know when I was halfway through; that helped a little, too. If your home has one bathroom, make it clear that you have priority. Send the family to a motel if necessary. Then the predictable question, "Why do I have to drink all of it if I think I'm empty?" The body doesn't have an echo system; there's no breeze that whistles through. You can't judge by the color of the liquid return. If you can't see through "it," neither can the doctor. If you make a bad guess, the whole procedure would have to be repeated. That's the one that gave me the strength to drink it down until it was gone.
By the time I got to the hospital, I was hollow, dead tired, shivering-cold, and feeling like a lost child. Nurses wrapped me in soft warm blankets. The attention was SO welcome. The scope itself was the easiest part of the entire experience. The sedation was painless. I was there one minute, gone the next, returned faster than an eyewink, wide awake, rested, and ready to go home. A piece of cake. (Forgive the inappropriate comparison.) And the good news? A polyp was removed, no sign of cancer, and because of my old age — I never have to do that again.
An update on my stolen identity, I received a statement from a California tax company for preparing taxes. It was addressed to Doris …. and Shirley …..different last names, mailed to my address, our home for 57 years and one month. We talked with the tax representative, convinced them Doris and Shirley have never lived here, and we won't pay their bill. We're waiting to see what the girls will do next.

Is it just my imagination or is there really some kind of a difference of speed between Ilford MG IV FB Matt and Glossy?
I started with a contact print of a 4x5 negative.
From that understood what I needed to dodge/burn and roughly what my exposure should be with larger paper, first 8x10 then 11x14. The contact print and the 8x10's were initially RC paper. I noted their times, and fstops. Each time I increase I know roughly to increase one stop, two, one and a half, whatever. First time is guesswork but usually it pays off. I went up to 11x14 in Fiber Matt. I find that the RC paper is a little faster than the Fiber Matt paper. Not much but somewhat, like perhaps a quarter stop. I exposed and developed the 11x14, and sure enough it is right in there, so I make another with a slight variation to have one for bleach/split toning and one just for selenium archival toning. Then, my long awaited 16x20 easel comes to me by FedEx and I went to make my first print last night.
I did the same math I have done before for the first exposure. It came out about a stop or a stop and a half lighter than what I calculated it should. The difference here is I cannot find 16x20 in Matt my preferred paper, only in Glossy. So what I'm saying is the Glossy is possibly slower than the Matt in Ilford Multigrade FB paper.
What I want to know is has anyone else noticed this?

Why is this completed?!? There are no data centers here. This issue was not for azure to be commercially available. We would very much like to have some servers in the country so that we dont have to run around the world to server local clients. ... Please reopen this .. ******* man ...
Jacques Bosch commented
Desperately need Azure in SA for upcoming large projects.
Adrian Hope-Bailie commented
We all know you can use Azure from South Africa but it's painfully slow due to the latency. Nobody here is going to take Azure seriously until we can host our Azure service in a data centre in SA or elsewhere in Africa
Guy Burstein, how can you even remotely mark this issue as Completed ? The suggestion is for hosting centers in South Africa, i.e. a data center hosted in South Africa. Go look at your map http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/regions/ , notice that large continent in the middle of the world map, do you see any Azure region dots on it? No! As mentioned by others, the latency to go from South Africa to the closest Azure region is just too high to host anything serious.
Tyler Doerksen commented
This is not actually completed. The suggestion was for "hosting centers" in South Africa, not just commercial availability.
Geoffrey Ballenden commented
How is this completed? I don't see a data center located in Africa never mind South Africa. The closest data center is half the planet away so the latency is huge. In order to host anything decent you need to be hosted on the same continent at least!

Really need this product in South Africa - come on Microsoft!!!

Yes, at the very least cloud services and storage in South Africa. This would be really helpful.

text: I only own the Rolleicord III equipped with a triotar lens (triplet design) from f8 down there is no real difference to my Rolleiflex of the same Vintage meaning prewar uncoated. The V is post war and coated the xenar is a tessar clone and has more contrast than the pre war triotar. If your main objective is to photograph buildings I'd say get another camera than either the III or V. The corner sharpness of both the triotar and V is not the best in the camera world, on the other hand if you mainly want to do portraits photos with the occasional Building and landscape get the III. The Triotar lens is best used as a portrait lens but it has a certain magic with landscapes kinda like the leica glow. BTW the III has a build in eyeleverreflex finder.

Plymouth Dems holding garden tour fundraiser
PLYMOUTH — Summer is the time for one of those great New England traditions—the annual garden tour! Those who love gardening, or just love to see beautiful gardens, join the Plymouth Area Garden Tour on Saturday, July 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The tour will provide an opportunity to enjoy private home gardens in the picturesque towns of Holderness, Plymouth, Campton, and Rumney. Experience the beauty of nine gardens alive with the sights, smells, and sounds of blooming nature. The chosen gardens represent up to three decades of dedicated plantings and landscaping, and the result is stunning.
Some of our local gardeners have negotiated hilly terrain containing ledge and countless rocks. Others have chosen land with sandy soil and giant white pines. Each gardener has to constantly battle the encroaching forest and harsh winters. These gardens show the creativity of their owners, working under challenging conditions.
It is always inspiring to see what other people do with their outdoor space, and those who would like to learn how to create outdoor "rooms", what to plant in shade or sun, and what grows well in our specific climate, this tour offers a lot. Meet many of the talented and resourceful gardeners during the tour.
The tour is sponsored by the Plymouth Area Democrats to help fund the campaigns for local and state candidates. Tickets are available in advance for $18 by calling 236-1122 or 536-1920. On the day of the tour starting at 9:30, tickets will be $20 and can be purchased at the Plymouth Senior Center, Railroad Square, Plymouth.

New Hampshire fire officials urge public to be extra careful using consumer fireworks
With the Fourth of July just a week away, the state's two top fire safety officials are warning the public that because of the inherent dangers of fireworks, people who handle them need to exercise extreme caution.
State Fire Marshal J. William Degnan and Chief David Parenti, president of the New Hampshire Association of Fire Chiefs, are both warning residents that the use of consumer fireworks must be done with extreme vigilance and responsibility.
"Fireworks are explosives devices and are dangerous and unpredictable," says Degnan. "The few seconds of pleasure that firework displays may bring to family and friends are not worth the risk of permanent scarring, loss of vision & hearing, dismemberment or even death."
"A substantial portion of structure fire property loss is due to fireworks typically involving rockets," noted Parenti, who is also Belmont Fire Chief. "These rockets can land on rooftops and still retain enough heat to cause a fire. Sparklers burn at a temperature of more 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. To put this into perspective, water boils at 212 degrees and glass melts at 900 degrees."
Degnan noted that New Hampshire state law requires that only people 21 years of age or older can purchase or shoot off fireworks. In addition, fireworks can only be shot off in communities where they are allowed, and individuals shooting them off must either be on their property or have written permission from the property owner.
Degnan said his best advice is for people attend public fireworks displays conducted by trained pyrotechnic experts. However, he said those who choose to use consumer fireworks need to check their local fire department to make sure that fireworks are permitted in your community, always follow the specific directions for each item, have an extinguishing device, such as a water hose, bucket of water, or fire extinguisher, readily accessible, stay the recommended distance away from buildings and viewers, avoid areas with dry brush, grass or debris, light the fireworks one at a time and never inside an enclosed container, never attempt to relight a firework or a non-functioning firework, and never allow children to handle fireworks or to pick up leftover fireworks debris off the ground.

Proceeds from this concert will contribute to the maintenance of the building and utilities.
The Carter Mountain Brass Band is made up of brass instruments — trumpets, French horns, trombones, euphoniums, and tubas — and percussion. About 30 musicians who come from all over New Hampshire and Vermont. John Beyrent has planned a summer type program with selections sure to please everyone.
The program will open with a bright Fanfare based on an old work by Charpentier, followed by the original piece from 1692. There is a folk ballad, "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen," and a Dusty Springfield hit song. Every concert needs a march and this one has two. There is also a Japanese folk dance called the "Yagi-Bushi," songs by Stephen Foster, and a few other selections.
The church is located at 18 Wesley Way, off of Route 11A in Gilford. Suggested donation is $8 for adults and $4 for students at the door. The band will host a reception immediately following the concert.

The free enterprise system should not be adopted simply because it is the best system for creating wealth. The best reason to support free market capitalism is a moral reason. Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute, and a Christian, describes the moral argument for free market capitalism.
It might seem that the best case for free enterprise is the material one. Free enterprise lets people make more money, buy more and nicer stuff, and have a greater degree of comfort. The freer our economy is, the more competitive the US economy is vis-à-vis the rest of the world. And so on.
But these aren't our best arguments. There is another reason, a transcendent reason, for which free enterprise matters most—and this is the case we all must be able to make today.
We all learned early on in school that the Declaration of Independence claimed for each of us the unalienable right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Note that the founders didn't assert a right to be happy; such is the domain of tinpots and crackpots, of 1984's "Ministry of Plenty" and Josef Stalin's aggrandizing self-description as the Soviet Union's "Constructor of Happiness." So what, in practice, does this right to pursue happiness mean?
It means the right to define and earn our happiness through our ideas, hard work, and gumption, to earn our success by creating value honestly, in our own lives and in the lives of others. It doesn't mean the pursuit of a big lottery win or an inheritance. Those bring money, but not happiness. And a mountain of evidence shows that after a fairly low threshold, more money doesn't make us happier. The best case for free enterprise has nothing at all to do with money or material goods or wealth. Those are just icing on the cake. We must stop talking about free enterprise as just an engine of wealth creation. It's much more than that.
In short, the secret to the pursuit of happiness is earning our own success; creating value with our lives and in the lives of others. This earned success is the fruit of hard work and just rewards in a system built on merit. Only in a free enterprise system is effort and innovation rewarded over connections and predation. (And this means that we have to draw a distinction between free enterprise, which is based on opportunity and competition between ideas, and corporate cronyism, which is just another form of statism masquerading as free enterprise.)
Here are 3 reasons why I think that social conservatives should support free market capitalism.
1) Right to work
It's very important for Christians to have an economic system in place that allows them to work without having to promote anti-Christians ideas. But when government gets too big, what happens is that Christians are no longer free to take any job they want, and still keep a clear conscience. In some states, you have to join a union which uses your union dues to elect Democrats, who very often are liberal on social issues. Or, you have big government forcing Christians to perform abortions against their consciences. Or, you have big government forcing Christian organizations to provide health insurance plans that cover abortions and contraceptives. That's why Christians need to vote against big government regulations on employment – we need the freedom to work at a job that does not violate our consciences.
2) Right to earn
It's very important for Christians to keep what they earn so that they have the maximum amount of money to make decisions that make sense for them, according to their consciences. Take the example of day care and education. The big government statist is constantly trying to to create more and more government-run day care and public schools. Why? They want to take money away from families so that they cannot afford individualized private and parochial schools, and lump them all into government run schools that are more "equal". The problem is that this is bad for Christians who want more oversight into what their children learn. For example, what sense does it make for a Christian man to pay for day care and public schools when he marries a teacher who becomes a stay at home homeschooling mother for his children? He has to pay for day care and public schools he will never use, and it eats into the money he has to afford a stay-at-home homeschooling mom. Christians should oppose a day care and education system run by a secular leftist government. They will never reflect the values of Christian parents.
3) Right to spend
It's very important for Christians to have the freedom to purchase products and services that make sense in their worldview. Take the example of health care. Secular leftists would love to force private medical insurance companies to cover things like abortion and contraception as health care. In some states, these things are specified as mandatory for every health care plan. That means that Christians who purchase health care are being forced to pay for services like abortion which they will never use themselves. This is nothing more than the redistribution of wealth in order to lower the cost of abortions for people, in order to encourage them to be sexually active before they are able to accommodate children. Christians need to oppose this – we do not want to have to pay for things that go against our consciences.
So, in addition to the reasons that Brooks mentioned (the happiness of earning your own way and serving others), it's important for Christians to understand how free market capitalism fits into their plans. We do not want to support big government, especially when big government so often is not compatible with Judeo-Christian values. In the free market, it is much harder for ALL the businesses to conspire together to block Christians from working, earning and spending according to their consciences. We must resist top-down control of the free market so that we have the liberty to do what we ought to do in order to be virtuous.

The eight-man elimination tournament set up by the World Boxing Association begins today with a doubleheader featuring Jimmy Ellis vs. Leotis Martin and Thad Spencer vs. Ernie Terrell. Both fights are scheduled for 12 rounds and are being televised on Wide World of Sports.
Ellis (26-5) is known as Muhammad Ali's sparring partner and, perhaps because of that, he doesn't seem to get the respect he's due. Yancey Durham, the trainer of Leotis Martin, calls Ellis "a three-round fighter." Ellis has quick hands and an excellent 1-2 combination. His punches are crisp and hard. Coming into this encounter, Ellis has won eight straight and six of them have been one-round knockouts. The most significant of the one-round knockouts was against Johnny Persol, a would-be contender trying to make the jump from the light-heavyweight ranks. The rap on Ellis is that he tires after the fifth round. Maybe that is why Martin is favored, even though Martin was the last man selected for the tournament, a replacement for Joe Frazier, who opted out of it.
Martin (24-1) has the best record of anyone in the tourney, but he doesn't have a lot of big names on his docket. Two of his biggest wins were knockouts against Sonny Banks and Amos Johnson. (In a ring tragedy, Banks died from blows suffered in his loss to Martin.) Leotis is a converted southpaw with a hard left jab and hook. He is considered to be tough and durable and a fighter on the rise.
The 10-round point system is in effect in Houston. Ellis weighs 194 1/2 lbs. and Martin weighs 192.
Here's the fight as I saw it.
Round 1 - Ellis lands a solid left hook in an early exchange. Ellis is coming after Martin. Ellis lands a right cross flush on Martin's jaw and Martin staggers around the ring! Will he survive the round? Ellis pounds with both fists, but Martin is savvy and holds him off. Just when Martin seems to be recovering, he is nailed again with an Ellis right and again he wobbles. Martin retreats, clinches and holds on. He does seem to be recovered by the end of the round and, in fact, lands a good right to the body in the closing seconds. Ellis' round (10-8). Scoring: 10-8 Ellis, 1-0 in rounds.
Round 2 - Ellis is surprisingly content to jab and move. He doesn't display the aggressiveness that he did in round one. The fighters exchange hard jabs. Martin presses, seeking to land to the body. After an exchange between the fighters, Ellis' left eye has a cut above it. It appears that a Martin right does the damage, but Ellis says later it was a clash of heads. Martin pursues Ellis the rest of the round, continuing to concentrate on the body. Martin's round (10-9). Scoring: 19-18 Ellis, 1-1 in rounds.
Round 3 - Ellis is back to being the aggressor again. He comes after Martin with a steady diet of 1-2 combinations. Again, Ellis connects with a solid right! Again, Martin is staggered! Martin is forced once more to hold on while his head clears. He lasts the round, but he has another problem. He is badly cut above his upper lip and also inside his mouth. Ellis' round (10-9) Scoring: 29-27 Ellis; Ellis leads 2-1 in rounds.
Round 4 - Martin comes out with sense of purpose. Martin lands a solid hook to the body. Ellis keeps jabbing and Martin keeps pressing. Ellis again seems content to jab and move. Martin lands a hook to body and follows with a hook to the head. Ellis looks tired. Martin is bleeding again from the mouth as the round ends. Martin's round (10-9). Scoring: 38-37 Ellis; 2-2 in rounds.
Round 5 - Both fighters are off the mark. Both are holding and jabbing. After the first minute of the round, they both look tired. It's been a brisk pace for heavyweights. Suddenly, Ellis lands another good right. Martin is stunned, but not as badly as the first round or the third round. Ellis tries to follow up, but is apparently arm weary. He looks up at the clock. Martin is not sharp with his punches in this round. Ellis' round (10-9). Scoring: 48-46 Ellis; Ellis lead 3-2 in rounds.
Round 6 - Martin comes out with resolution. He goes after Ellis and throws hooks to the head and body. Martin continues to press and throw hooks to the body. It seems odd that Martin is focusing on the body when Ellis has a cut over his left eye. The cut isn't any worse now than it was in round two, but the cut above Martin's mouth appears to be getting worse with each round. Ellis is on cruise control in this round, not doing much. Again he looks tired. Martin finishes with a good flurry. Martin's round (10-9). Scoring: 57-56 Ellis: 3-3 in rounds.
Round 7 - Ellis jabs effectively. Martin comes in, throwing hooks to the body. Martin lands a solid right to the body. He is the aggressor. Martin lands a right to the body and a hook to the head. Ellis retreats. Ellis is winging right hands, but not with the authority of earlier rounds. Martin lands another right to the body. Ellis sticks and moves. When the round ends, Martin's nose is bleeding along with his mouth. Martin's round (10-9) 66-66; Martin leads 4-3 in rounds.
Round 8 - Ellis seems to have his second wind. He has more bounce. He is jabbing effectively in the early part of the round. Martin is the one who looks tired now. The fighters are mauling each other, but neither is landing crisply. Martin's nose and mouth are bleeding rather heavily as the round ends. Ellis' round (10-9). Scoring: 76-75 Ellis; 4-4 in rounds.
Round 9 - Martin's corner can't stop his nose from bleeding. He comes out gamely anyway. Ellis jabs crisply. Again, Ellis seems to have more bounce now than he did in the middle rounds. Martin pursues vainly. Martin lands a good hook to the body. Referee Ernie Taylor steps in and stops the fight at the 1:47 mark of the ninth round because of Martin's nose and mouth. Ellis is the winner by TKO.
This was an interesting bout, one in which neither fighter could get much of an edge on the other. Ellis pulled ahead early, only to have Martin rally in the middle rounds. I'm guessing that Ellis would have won a decision if the fight had gone the distance. Ellis was the stronger of the two when the ref stopped the fight and had the momentum. Martin stubbornly stayed with the body attack throughout instead of concentrating on the cut eye of Ellis. It may have cost him the fight.
Ellis went on to decision Oscar Bonavena in 12 rounds in the tourney semifinals, then defeat Jerry Quarry in 15 very dull rounds to win the WBA title. Fight fans old enough to remember that one still grimace at the thought of it. Ellis fought intelligently and did what was necessary to win.
Martin would lose a 10-round decision in his next fight to a relative unknown, a young Philadelphia heavyweight named Roger Russell. Martin's career was up and down from that point. Ironically, Martin was forced to retire after his greatest victory, a stunning ninth-round KO of Sonny Liston in December of 1969. Martin sustained a detached retina in that fight.

The latest round of convictions in the brutal public murder of an Afghan woman was mob justice -- not real change.
The NATO Resolute Support Mission's (RSM's) mandate to "train, advise, and assist," but a better prerogative would be to "assess, train, advice, and assist."
Afghan women can't be left out of the negotiations concerning the future of Afghanistan. Both President Obama and President Ghani need to address the historic role of the United States in perpetuating the abject status of Afghan women.
It took less than two months for the Afghan judicial system to arrest, investigate, and try 49 men accused of involvement in the killing of Farkhunda, a 27-year-old woman who was murdered by a mob. Justice was swift, but was it thorough?
Osama bin Laden promised endless war in a newly declassified letter to the American people.
Ethan Hawke and director Andrew Niccol talk to FP about their new movie on drones. Too bad it gets so much wrong.
South Asia remains one of the most repressed regions for journalists and by governments muzzling the freedoms of the press, the region's democratic gains are in jeopardy.
A resurgence of fighting may mean Ghani's strategy of reaching out to Pakistan is too late. But did he have other options?
The Taliban's offensive in Kunduz province is a diversion that will serve to distract the Afghan army away from the real goal -- Helmand province.

May 24, 2015
(November 18, 2013) The Rev. Frank Schaefer, a Pennsylvania pastor charged under United Methodist law after he officiated at his son's same-sex marriage, went on trial Monday.
He pleaded not guilty Monday morning.
His attorney, the Rev. Robert Coombe, told the jury that Schaefer simply extended God's love to his son.
Schaefer could be defrocked if a jury comprised of fellow Methodist clergy members convicts him of breaking his pastoral vows by officiating at the ceremony in 2007 in Massachusetts.
The nation's largest mainline Protestant denomination accepts gay and lesbian members, but rejects the practice of homosexuality as "incompatible with Christian teaching."
The issue has split the church.
Hundreds of Methodist ministers have publicly rejected church doctrine on homosexuality, and some of them face discipline for presiding over same-sex unions.
Schaefer's trial is Monday at a Methodist retreat in Spring City, Pa.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

AP Source: Busch to race Cup without main sponsor
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Kyle Busch will be allowed to race in the final two Sprint Cup Series events but without main sponsor M&M's, The Associated Press has learned.
Busch will drive Sunday at Phoenix and in next weekend's season finale at Homestead with Interstate Batteries as his sponsor instead, a person familiar with Joe Gibbs Racing's plans told the AP on Thursday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because discussions about Busch's future are ongoing.
Although M&M's is Busch's primary sponsor, Interstate Batteries is heavily involved with the team. M&M's did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The deal ends a week of wrangling over Busch's future with his race team - all fallout from a road rage incident at Texas. Busch wrecked Ron Hornaday Jr. under caution early in the Trucks Series race and was parked by NASCAR for the rest of the weekend.
Busch has admitted he lost control of his temper and has since apologized. NASCAR suspended him from all racing at Texas, and this week fined him $50,000 and placed him on probation through the end of the year.
But questions from his sponsors put everything in limbo.
In fact, multiple people familiar with Busch's schedule told the Associated Press that Z-Line Designs asked this week that Denny Hamlin replace Busch in next weekend's Nationwide race at Homestead. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the meetings over Busch's future have been ongoing.
Interstate was JGR's original primary sponsor and only relinquished its role when Busch signed with the team in 2008. The company was the primary sponsor for Busch in six Cup races this season. It also was his sponsor in a Nationwide and Truck Series race and sponsored Hamlin and Joey Logano in one race each.
Busch, who seemed unrepentant after the accident, admitted he lost his cool on the track.
"I've been wrecked four weeks in a row, and I've had enough of it, and I retaliated," he said. "So it's certainly my fault for doing that. If everybody wants to say, `Hornaday is racing for a championship, roll over,' that's not my fashion. That's not anybody else's fashion out here."
His tone changed considerably a day later, after NASCAR "parked" him from all competition at Texas.
"I've had a lot of time today to sit and reflect, and try to put my thoughts into words as best I can," he wrote in a lengthy apology posted Saturday on the Kyle Busch Motorsports website. "I want to sincerely apologize for my actions during Friday night's Truck Series race at Texas."
It's been a tremendous fall for the 26-year-old Busch, who just two months ago was the favorite to win his first Sprint Cup championship.
He opened the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup tied with rival Kevin Harvick for the top seed based on his four regular season victories. But he again faltered in the opening Chase races and was never a serious title contender.
This latest problem comes at the end of what's been a rough year for Busch, who actually had made huge strides in showing more maturity and patience both on and off the track. But he still had many missteps, including one on pit road with Harvick at Darlington that earned him a $25,000 fine.

David Krejci remains out, Adam McQuaid's status unknown
|10.13.11 at 3:46 pm ET
It appears Tyler Seguin is in for another game on the first line.
Bruins coach Claude Julien told reporters in Raleigh Thursday that center David Krejci, who suffered a core injury in Tuesday's practice, will not travel with the team to Chicago for Saturday's game against the Blackhawks and will miss his second game of the season.
The status of defenseman Adam McQuaid remains unknown. McQuaid went head-first into the boards behind the Bruins' net in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Hurricanes. Julien said the second-year defenseman is still being evaluated. Should McQuaid be unable to play Saturday, it's assumed that Matt Bartkowski, who played in place of a sick McQuaid in the season-opener, would play his second game of the season.

While the mainstream media conceal their manifold biases and alignments, we clearly state our position. Indymedia UK does not attempt to take an objective and impartial standpoint: Indymedia UK clearly states its subjectivity." that sounds anti-capitalist to me. > But perhaps the alternative to this is to start the first one > with some points of view on what anti-capitalist means - e.g. 'well, we make > a profit, but it goes into the community! And then there are others who say > we should trash the money system altogether...' a good analysis for the newswire piece perhaps. i could go on [and may have to write more perhaps], but my basic position is this: do i want to see imc-sheffield involved in a print publication? yes. do i think this is the way to do it? no. is the way perhaps to foster links and provide mutual support with other imcs, perhaps in the form of a collaborative "offline for the north" that we work on with leeds/bradford, manchester and liverpool imcs? might be an idea worth discussing. dan's ideas [though i disagree with much of what he's written] are useful in helping develop what we want to do as an imc. thanks for the input [though less of the benevolent dictator/school teacher stuff if you don't mind -- or i may have to come round and give you a slap with a wet fish :-)] r7 -- r7 [at] aktivix [dot] org

Um, so did anyone else notice how Megan Fox is holding that Spike Scream Award? A little on the phallic side, no? Yeah, that's what I thought. She definitely looks like she's familiar with that position, though, that's for sure.
Actually, I don't think there's a position that Megan Fox isn't familiar with, from the looks of her. That girl is sex on two legs, and I bet those legs are in the air most of the time.
