Blackboard 9.1 SP14: New features & improvements
We have just upgraded our Blackboard environment from SP11 to SP14. With this new version of Blackboard improvements and new features have become available. The most important new features and improvements are:
- Security improvements and bugfixes
- Content editor Math formulas – the equation editor has been replaced by the mathML equation editor (WIRIS) so it is now possible to enter simple Latex directly in the content editor. On the WIRIS LaTeX support page you can find several examples on how to use simple LaTeX.
For instructors:
- Date Management – After a course is copied, it is possible to speed up the transition of old dates to new ones relevant for the new course using Date Management. From Date Management, instructors can adjust all availability dates, due dates, and adaptive release dates. Instructors can choose to update dates automatically or manually from one convenient location.
- Grade Center improvements – Blackboard has made several improvements to grading and the Grade Center.
If you would like to read more about the various bug fixes, improvements and new features, please read the release notes on Blackboard SP12, SP13 or SP14.
Unfortunately a new version does not only fix bugs, it usually means new bugs as well. We have been testing this new version the last couple of weeks and did not run into any critical bugs. For security reasons it is important that we keep our Blackboard version up to date. We will keep you informed about the existing bugs and will help you and provide a workaround if possible.
Please check this weblog if you would like to be informed of any news regarding Blackboard and/or the upgrade process or follow us on twitter @TUDelftBb
For questions about Blackboard please contact E-Learning support (email@example.com of 89194 )
Browser Support for SP14
The following link highlights the new platform and browser configurations tested for SP 14 using the support terms listed on Blackboard's Browser Support Policy page.
We have noticed that many workstations at the TU Delft run Internet Explorer 10 (in compatibility mode) which is known to cause issues in combination with using Blackboard. Safari 6 works without any issues, but we have noticed that Safari 7 and 8 unfortunately don't support all functionalities in Blackboard. As a result of this, we advise users to use either Chrome or Firefox when using Blackboard as these browsers are the most stable and have the least performance issues.
If you do use IE10 you will have to take note of the following known issue:
When running IE10 in Compatibility mode, Blackboard will not load as expected and the various tabs to access content are not visible. To use IE10 in standard mode, you can use the following work around:
1. Open your browser, and go to https://blackboard.tudelft.nl. You will see a file icon behind the url: If the icon is dark blue, it means that the compatibility mode is switched on in IE10 (see screenshot below). If the file icon is light blue IE10 is not running in compatibility mode and you don't have do do anything.
2. Click on the file-icon to deactivate the compatibility mode for the TU Delft Blackboard environment. The page will reload and you will see the various tabs become available at the top of the page.
NOTE! : If you do not see the above mentioned file-icon to indicate if you are working in compatibility mode, and you are experiencing problems with your IE browser, you can also try the following steps:
- Press on the ALT button and a menu bar will appear at the top of the screen.
- click on the tools menu, and go to the item "Compatibility View Settings"; click on it.
- in the pop-up, please deselect the option "Display all websites in Compatibility View" and click close.
If you continue to experience problems with your browser after trying this work around, please contact E-Learning Support (ELS) at firstname.lastname@example.com or 89194.
Upgrade Blackboard to SP14 – next weekend
The weekend before Christmas, we will be upgrading our current Blackboard 9.1 SP11 environment to SP14. We will be starting the upgrade process on Friday evening December 19th around 18:00 hrs and will be working throughout the weekend. We hope to have the new version up and running by Sunday night December the 21st.
Please keep in mind that Blackboard will be unavailable during this period and that if you have any deadlines during this time frame that you make alternative arrangements.
More information about the coming upgrade will become available on the ICT Maintenance page this week. Osiris and all other systems can be reached as normal during the Blackboard upgrade.
With the new Service Pack several bugs that are currently in Blackboard are fixed, a couple of tools have been improved, and new features will become available. Next week you can expect a blog post with the highlights of Blackboard 9.1 SP14.
Blackboard is available again
Blackboard is back online. Unfortunately not on the new version. During the upgrade we ran into some issues we knew we could not solve in time to be back online again tomorrow. Therefor we decided to restore Blackboard, so it is still the same as it was this morning before we started the upgrade.
We had hoped to be on the new version now. We are going to sort out, what causes the issues and prepare for a new upgrade probably just before Christmas.
Our read-only environment is corrupted due to the restore, but we do not need that environment at the moment. Blackboard is back online and we will stay online.
Blackboard Upgrade this Monday and Tuesday August 4th and 5th
Since we had to postpone the upgrade we have been making new plans. We have weighed our options and we have decided that we are not going to wait until the Christmas Holidays. We are going to perform the upgrade this Monday and Tuesday.
We know this is short notice, but now, with so many people on holiday, is the best time. For those who are preparing for the exams. We have a copy of Blackboard on our test environment. Just go to Blackboard and we will redirect you to this application. Please Note: changes to this application will not be saved to our production environment! If you can't find what you need here, please contact ELS (email@example.com of 89194), so they can assist you.
We hope not to disturb to many people, but not upgrading was a very big disappointment. Keeping Blackboard up to date is important in many way's. There are security reasons, bug fixes and of course new functionalities.
We will keep you informed of the progress by means of this weblog and our twitter account @TUDelftBb.
If you have any questions, please call or e-mail E-Learning Support (firstname.lastname@example.com 015-2789194). They will makes sure your questions will be placed by the right people, and you will be contacted.
Blackboard upgrade postponed
Due to unforeseen circumstances the Blackboard upgrade is postponed.
We had to make the difficult decision to postpone the Blackboard upgrade due to a major issue we were not able to fix. The upgrade will not be possible before the start of the new academic year. A new date will be scheduled after consulting all parties involved.
The blocking issue, which we discovered during our test process, turned out to have more influence within Blackboard than we first thought. The last few weeks we haven been working on solving this issue together with the support staff from Blackboard, but we were not able to come to a satisfying result.
As soon as we know more about the new upgrade plan we will inform you.
Blackboard Upgrade Summer 2014
The preparations of the Blackboard upgrade are ongoing. We will be upgrading to the new version starting on Friday evening July 18th and hope to be back online Sunday afternoon July 20th. The Blackboard courses for 2014-2015 will be available in the first week of August.
This new version of Blackboard will give us new functionalities, and bugfixes. The most important new functionalities and improvements are:
- Security improvements and bugfixes
- New portfolio's – Portfolios are now accessed from the global navigation (top right corner) and have a new authoring canvas. Instructors can create portfolio assignments.
- Content editor Math formulas – the equation editor is replaced by the mathML equation editor (WIRIS) so simple Latex is possible directly in the content editor.
- Profiles – You can share your avatar and study with other users, just for now. We are looking into the more advanced options, but have to make sure this will not cause performance issues before turning those extra social options on.
For instructors:
- Student Preview – Instructors can view their course exactly as a student does by using a student account the system generates for them by clicking on the icon next to the Edit Mode. (The first time opening the student preview will take some time)
- Delegated Grading – Instructors can delegate grading to specific users.
- Date Management – After a course is copied, it is possible to speed up the transition of old dates to new ones relevant for the new course using Date Management. From Date Management, instructors can adjust all availability dates, due dates, and adaptive release dates. Instructors can choose to update dates automatically or manually from one convenient location.
- Safe Assignment improvements – SafeAssign is integrated into regular Learn assignments. You do not have to choose between an Assignment and a SafeAssignment anymore. Just create an assignment and choose SafeAssign in the assignment options. The SafeAssign originality report has been changed as well.
- Grade Center improvements – Blackboard has made several improvements to grading and Grade Center.
For Students:
- My Grades – The look and feel of My Grades has been updated. Students can now view feedback by clicking View Feedback.
Unfortunately a new version does not only fix bugs, it usually means new bugs as well. We have been testing this new version the last couple of months and did not run into any critical bugs. For security reasons it is important that we keep our Blackboard version up to date. We will keep you informed about the existing bugs and will help you and provide a workaround if possible.
In August there will be an open office by E-Learning Support (ELS). If you have any questions or issues, please come by, we will make time to sit down with you and help you as best as we can.
Due to the upgrade Blackboard is not available from Friday evening July 18th until Sunday July 20th. We will do our best to be back online again as soon as possible. Osiris can be reached during the Blackboard upgrade. The new Blackboard courses for 2014-2015 will be available the first week of August. They are created according to the data from CourseBase.

Internet Explorer Security Update Causes IE11 to Crash when an Instructor Accesses a Blackboard Learn Course
Microsoft has released a new version of Internet Explorer (IE), which is causing Internet Explorer 11 to crash when an instructor is accessing a Blackboard Learn course that has Edit Mode turned on.
Browsers are developing faster; they release new versions every month. Application like Blackboard get access to these new version the same time as we do. Blackboard has acknowledged this issue and is working on a solution.
BB Article summary:
On February 11th, 2014, Microsoft released a Cumulative Security Update, MS14-010. This security update causes Internet Explorer 11 to crash when an instructor accesses any Blackboard Learn course that has Edit Mode turned on. This security update was pushed to all Windows users with IE11. More information about the security update can be found here:
Please be assured that Blackboard is currently investigating this issue and developing patches to correct it.

- Provisional: (Client Technologies ONLY) future technologies considered supported by Blackboard Support.
New features in Blackboard 9.1 SP11 as from 17th of July
This summer we will upgrade Blackboard to version 9.1 SP11. Due to the upgrade Blackboard is not available from Sunday evening July 14th up to and including Wednesday July 17th. The new blackboard contains bugfixes and some new features of which the most important are summarized in the following sections.
Global Navigation & My Blackboard
The navigation menu accessible through My Places is replaced by a new and more comprehensive navigation menu. The new Global Navigation Menu is a gateway to My Blackboard and provides an one click access to other important places in Blackboard. This navigation menu can be accessed from anywhere in Blackboard and includes:
- Links to recently visited courses and organizations
- Links to other courses and organizations
- Links to Retention Center
- Personal settings
- List of posts (in Discussion Board, Blog, Journal or Wiki)
- List of updates in courses (newly added content)
- My Grades (for students)
- Home and Help links
See video for look and feel.
Retention Center
The Retention Center is an instructor-only tool that enables instructors to get early insight into student performance and give focused attention to students who need it. It replaces the Early Warning System feature with easy workflows, while retaining all existing Early Warning System data and rules. With the Retention Center instructors can:
- Check the overall academic health of their class.
- Find out which students needs their help and drill in to see their specific areas of difficulty.
- Contact the most at-risk students immediately and flag those you want to monitor closely by looking into:
- Missed Deadlines
- Grades
- Course Activity
- Course Access
- Use course activity information to prioritize which areas of the course to attend to first.
See video for look and feel.
Discussion Board
The new Discussion Board is more user friendly and easier to manage than the current Discussion Board. Some of these improvements are mentioned below:
- Discussion Board structure is immediately clear:
- All posts belonging to a thread can be seen at one once resulting in fewer clicks.
- Less meta-info that diverts attention from discussions.
- Get an easy overview all posts with the Collapse All feature.
- Much larger textboxes for discussion texts.
- The use of background colours to emphasize the difference between original post and reply posts.
- Control buttons can be found and used more easily:
- Less buttons and the buttons appear only when you want to use them.
- New Posts in discussion board can be seen at once. Users are informed about new discussion board posts through their course homepage in the What's new module.
- Avatars: user profile avatars are more prominent in the discussions.
- Post First Setting – instructors can use a new forum setting to require students to post to a forum before they can see other students' posts.
See video for look and feel.
Inline grading
The new blackboard offers a way for instructors an easy and time saving way to assess uploaded work of students without the need to download submitted files. When an Instructor views a document submitted through an Assignment, that document is converted to a format that is viewable inside the web browser. The converted document is displayed in a viewer on the Grade Assignment page. The viewer has a toolbar with following features:
- Comment – Shows a menu of all annotation tools.
- Annotation tools enable instructors to provide feedback — comments, highlights, and even drawing — directly on the inline view of the document
- Can be combined with rubrics.
- Download – Downloads a copy of the document. If annotations have been made, there is an option to download the copy in the original format or in a PDF version that includes the annotations. This feature is also available to students when they view their submission.
See video for look and feel.
New Content editor
The new content editor allows you to add and format text, insert equations and hyperlinks, tables, and attach different types of files to content. It contains the following features:
- Text: align full, find/replace, block quote, CSS editing, insert non-breaking spaces, anchors, symbols, and emoticons.
- Tables: set row and cell properties, insert and delete rows and cells, split and merge cells.
- Help button shows a full legend of the content editor functions
- Automatic HTML validation
- Full screen editing
- Automatic clean-up of code when copying and pasting from Word (choosing Mashups > Paste from Word is no longer necessary, you can paste the text directly)
- Supports copying and pasting of MathML formulas and equations directly in the editor.
- Basic operations, Matrix calculus, Calculus and series, Logic and set theory, Units, Greek alphabet, and more.
- Automatically converts formulas and equations to images so that users do not need download an applet to view them. The formulas and equations remain editable by the author.
See video for look and feel.
Video everywhere
Video Everywhere is a feature of the content editor and very suitable for distant learning. Once installed and activated, you will see a new icon in the content editor that accesses your webcam. The feature provides the ability for instructors and students to:
- Record a video on the fly using a webcam and have it seamlessly embedded in course materials, interactions, and feedback through the content editor.
- Reuse previously recorded videos by choosing from one's own "library" of videos.
See video for look and feel.
In August there will be an open office by E-Learning Support (ELS). There will be a daily presentation with various subjects. One of the presentations will give you an overview of all changes within Blackboard. The first week of August, the courses for next academic year will be produced.
Due to the upgrade Blackboard is not available from Sunday evening July 14th up to and including Tuesday July 16th. Osiris can be reached.
Please check this weblog if you would like to be informed of the progress of the upgrade.

Nothing about the Liverpool softball team's 28-0 destruction of the combined Syracuse West entry on a gloomy Monday afternoon was memorable or useful.
Except that the win gave the Warriors' long-time head coach, Nick Spataro, 400 for his career, just a few weeks after Cicero-North Syracuse's Kerry Bennett reached the 600-win plateau.
In all, Spataro has coached 21 seasons at Liverpool, claiming five Section III championships along the way, all from 2001 to 2009. Nine times, the Warriors have made it to the sectional finals, and it reached one state final four.
This game, in particular, featured a long-time Liverpool staple – namely, offensive prowess. The Warriors got runs in each of the first six innings, capped by a 12-run outburst in the top of the sixth.
Not only did eighth-grade Peyton Bellrose pitch and strike out 14 Syracuse West batters, she starred at the plate, too, earning a career-best five hits, including a triple, driving in five runs and scoring twice.
Alicia Hansen went four-for-four, gaining a triple, double, two singles and six RBis while scoring four runs. Carrie Stoddard's triple, double and single led to five RBIs and three runs scored.
Holly Clark scored a team-high five runs, doubling twice and earning a pair of RBIs. Dana Nicoletti also scored three runs as Brianna Harris and Rachel Castellani added one RBI apiece.
The Warriors got win no. 401 for Spataro in a much more difficult manner, rallying from behind on Wednesday to beat Rome Free Academy 5-2.
Neither side could score until the bottom of the fifth inning, when the Black Knights tagged Liverpool pitcher Dana Nicoletti for both of its runs, driven in by Kaysie Gregory and Alex Kimmel.
Up until now, RFA pitcher Halie Schoff had done a sensational job. But the Warriors got to her in the top of the sixth, scoring all of its runs as Stoddard produced a two-run single. Nicoletti, Nicole Cerrone and Allyse Burgos each had one RBI in that rally.

Weed Farm
50,000 - 100,000 downloads
- Original approach to time management
- Events and missions as incentive
- Design is poor, so to speak.

Create a weed empire from scratch
Clearly inspired by Breaking Bad and maybe Weeds, Weed Farm is the story of a punk who gets expelled from college but is a botany wiz and gets a job looking after a guy's weed plant. As he's so good and knows what plants need (water, music, light) he makes it grow and sells the merchandise to the multifarious neighbors in order to buy seeds and start over, in a modern version of the milkmaid's tale.
This game could be included into the time management game, because you have to make your plants grow and attend the customers at the door. These customers won't say no to a free joint and some chatting, so you can get stuff from them. One of them is a stripper, who can be your ruin if you ever get too loose with your money. Cops mean trouble, by the way.
It isn't a bad game at all, instead it's an interesting game and the events that customers bring add a sort-of goal aside of amass money. However, both its design and theme can discourage players depending on the case. Keep away from children.
«Weed Farm. The Vicious and Lawless Carreer of Mr. Ted Growing» based on unique gameplay, including:
★ Crooked cops
★ Relentless gangsters
★ Horny stripper Jane
★ A variety of weed types
Follow the story of an expeled botany sophomore Ted Growing as he inherits a growing operation and expands it. Learn to grow weed, plant new varieties to increase your yields, expand your customer base and interact with the characters to become the biggest weed dealer in town. Complete tasks to open new shelves in the store and become a more efficient and prosperous weed grower and seller. Watch out for the thugs and cops. Good luck! May Jah be with You!
After a short suspension for nudity Weed Farm is back on Google Play. The game was downloaded by 230,000 users and had an average rating of 4.9 with over 20,000 ratings. But… surprisingly our progress was hampered by nothing other than TITS, naked cartoon tits that violated Google Play's policies or what not. We had to sensor the TITS and are putting the game back on the market. Enjoy!

New Orleans on Top of Gustav to Avoid 2005 Repeat
By Rick Jervis and Donna Leinwand
NEW ORLEANS — As Gustav threatened to pack a wallop, local leaders and emergency workers unfurled plans and readied evacuation tactics Thursday to avoid a repeat of the deadly mistakes that preceded Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, widely blamed for the ineffective response following Katrina, went over plans to keep communication lines open and set up command centers. City leaders readied police officers and National Guard troops to prevent post-disaster looting and urged residents to heed evacuation orders.
On Thursday, the eve of the third anniversary of Katrina, some residents required little convincing.
Katrina hit just east of New Orleans, flooding 80% of the city and leading to the costliest disaster in U.S. history.
"They're moving. They're getting out," said Linda Jackson, president of the Lower 9th Ward Homeowners Association. "We're never going to disrespect another hurricane again in our life."
Some of the things done differently today from post-Katrina:
*No shelters of last resort. The Superdome and Convention Center, sites of massive, unruly crowds during Katrina, won't be used as shelters. Instead, city officials pledged to orchestrate a pre-storm evacuation using Amtrak trains, buses and flights.
*Looting control. New Orleans police say they will have the entire force on call, along with 300 National Guardsmen, at major department stores and neighborhoods across the city.
*Communication. FEMA officials will set up a "Unified Command" center in Baton Rouge, where state, local and federal agents will share daily information. Lack of communication between agencies after Katrina contributed to a slow response.
Katrina wrote script
"We feel we are more ready this year than we have ever been," says Coast Guard Rear Adm. Brian Salerno, assistant commandant for Marine Safety, Security and Stewardship.
The Coast Guard is moving its boats and aircraft out of the storm's path and mobilizing an emergency response group that can help after the storm with law enforcement and hazardous waste issues, Salerno says. Ports will be closed 12 hours before the storm arrives, he says.
American Red Cross field operations are underway in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, says Armond Mascelli, vice president of disaster services. The organization began moving supplies and equipment into the areas on Tuesday, including trucks for mobile feeding, and cots and blankets for shelters.
Mascelli says they are following a script written in part from "lessons learned from Katrina."
Operations 'more capable'
The Defense Department's Northern Command says it is prepared to help with search and rescue and medical evacuation operations, says Rear Adm. Chris Colvin, director of operations.
"In general, we're finding that state, local and federal agencies are tremendously more capable than they were three years ago after Katrina," Colvin says.
Hospitals also took steps to avoid the disastrous weeks following Katrina, where patients were evacuated in flood waters.
Newly installed hurricane-proof satellite dishes were readied at Tulane Medical Center in New Orleans, to improve communication after a storm, and many of the patients were scheduled to be relocated early. During Katrina, the hospital evacuated 1,600 patients from its premises, CEO Robert Lynch said.
Louisiana prison authorities also said they would begin evacuating 2,300 prisoners from New Orleans-area jails Friday and could move as many as 8,000 inmates from low-lying state and local detention centers. Inmates in local jails and detention centers were among the casualties when Katrina swept through, Angola State Prison warden Burl Cain said.
Celebrity chef John Besh, owner of four restaurants in the New Orleans area, said he was letting his more than 300 employees go home early today to prepare for the storm. He was also stockpiling 300 pounds of rice and 300 pounds of red beans to help feed evacuees later, if needed.
"Five years ago, we wouldn't even know there was a hurricane out there," Besh said. "We're all taking it far more seriously."

A search and rescue operation was launched late last night
after a fishing boat became stranded on a sand bar at Taieri
Colin Webb was bringing the 10m boat Impact from Bluff to
Port Chalmers when he hit the bar about 200m offshore about
Several hours earlier, Mr Webb had run aground at Waikawa.
"He's an idiot and it's just such as waste of time, people
and resources," Taieri Mouth SAR marine adviser Keith Simon
"He set off a flare horizontally, which almost hit a house.
The next one went off in the boat.
"He had already been warned not to leave Bluff, but he
carried on anyway. Apparently, the fishermen down there were
running a sweep on whether he'd make it up here."
Mr Webb, who was not injured, was evacuated from the boat at
11pm by St Kilda and Brighton Surf Life Saving Clubs members
in inflatable boats.
"I'm so embarrassed," a grateful Mr Webb told rescuers as he
came ashore.
"A fire broke out in the engine and I lost concentration and
hit the sand bar," he said.
The rescue was attended by two Brighton fire brigade units,
two ambulances, three police units and St Kilda and Brighton
Surf Life Saving inflatables.
The boat was expected to float free at first light today.

Re: Anyone taken a Columbia 28 offshore?
What does your boat have in the way of a motor ? My friend had the gasoline Atomic . That motor gave him a lot of trouble . I'm not saying that's a bad motor, no not at all . my wife before I met her had a Catalina 30 with a Atomic , that motor was smooth and reliable . On the other hand I know of some people that have problems with them(like what engine does not have problems !) Good news you can still get any part you need, and down here there is a guy who sells rebuilt replacement motors . Also you talked about sail combos . For sure you need a working set (main & jib) with reef points . If you don't have roller furling , you can still reef the jib . Check it out in The Sailor's Sketch Book ,it shoes you how to do that plus some other stuff . Finally you need a down wind sail , Spinnaker for sure . but if you are not into that , at least get a drifter . I don't have a Spin just a drifter . So what I do is pole out my jib to the windy side and set the drifter to leeward side . I would tell you how fast I go with that set up , but some people accuse me of lying about it, haha .

Religion News in Brief
NASHVILLE, Tenn. Southern Baptist churches say membership and donations to missions dropped last year, but baptisms increased after a four-year decline.
Southern Baptist Convention membership fell 0.42 percent to about 16.2 million, and Sunday School enrollment dropped slightly to about 7.6 million in 2009, according to a church survey released by Baptist Press.
Giving to missions totaled $1.3 billion in 2009, a decline of 1.8 percent. The denomination blamed the poor economy for the decrease.
Still, churches reported some good news: a 2.2 percent jump in baptisms to 349,737 last year. The previous four-year decline had been deeply troubling to the nation's largest Protestant group, which had been trying to re-energize its evangelism.
Thom Rainer, head of LifeWay Christian Resources, which worked with state Baptist conventions to compile the annual statistics, said that while the increase in baptisms is encouraging, he is troubled by the poor showing on other fronts.
"The decline in membership across our denomination, along with the drop in Sunday School enrollment, indicate that Southern Baptists continue to be distracted from - or indifferent toward - the command of Jesus to make disciples," Rainer told Baptist Press. "I pray that these discouraging numbers sound a wake-up call to all of us."
The convention's annual meeting is set for June 15-16 in Orlando, Fla.
Federal court rejects Colo. city's appeal of megachurch's expansion
DENVER (AP) - Boulder County lost its appeal Monday in a zoning dispute with the largest church in the county in a case that both sides say could affect similar cases nationwide.
Rocky Mountain Christian Church is seeking to more than double its campus to 240,000 square feet near Niwot, about five miles northeast of Boulder.
The county had denied the church's request for a special-use permit. The congregation challenged the decision under the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, which protects churches from discriminatory land-use laws.
The county had argued that jurors didn't have sufficient evidence when they returned a verdict in November 2008 that allows Rocky Mountain Christian Church to expand in the county. That jury found that the county's zoning laws placed a substantial burden on the practice of religion, were unfairly applied to churches, and placed unreasonable limits on religion.
In the ruling Monday, the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the county's claim of insufficient evidence and said the court cannot substitute its judgment for the jury's. It upheld U.S. District Judge Robert Blackburn's order that the county approve the permit.
Church documents at issue in Conn. clergy sex abuse case
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - The lawyer for a woman alleging a Roman Catholic priest molested her when she was a child says that Connecticut church leaders are trying to keep hundreds of documents secret, including a letter to Pope Benedict XVI when he was a cardinal.
The woman, identified as Jane Doe, wants the documents for her Superior Court lawsuit against the Norwich Diocese. She says the Rev. Thomas Shea abused her in the 1970s when he was at St. Joseph's Church in New London. Shea died in 2006.

Dorcas is a 6-year-old girl from Guatemala who suffered a severe burn to the right side of her chest and armpit from a falling candle. She was immediately transferred to a burn center, where she was successfully skin grafted. However, her family can't afford to pay for the rehabilitation work she needs in order to preserve the function of her right arm (the risk of scar tissue forming could seriously limit her arm and shoulder mobility).
We are seeking funding to help provide Dorcas with the skin care medications, pressure garments, and two months of rehabilitation she needs to preserve the function of her arm. Let's pitch in and make sure this 6-year-old girl is able to fully recover from this terrible accident.

Guest Post By: Roger Gichuhi
Last week we had representatives from PayPal at the iHub discussing PayPal in emerging markets and understanding user needs.
The biggest challenge has been withdrawing funds from PayPal, before this was only possible via a US bank account, but now it's possible via Equity Bank at a 1.5% fee. The service has been up and running for a few months now, but it was officially announced last week. To get started and link your Equity Bank account to PayPal go here.
One of the questions raised during the lunch at iHub, was integration of Mobile Money with PayPal. This will definitely be a big boost for the unbanked African market space. Malvina Goldfield, Head of PayPal's Business Development for Africa expressed PayPal's desire to do this, but the mobile money providers have to meet global standards requirements and collect more user info, which they currently don't do. Perhaps this is something that might change in the future.
However there's a way you can link MPESA with Paypal via an over the counter VISA debit card. This has been made possible by Nation partnership with Diamond Trust Bank to introduce NationHela.
- Get a NationHela card - The NationHela debit card can be purchased at leading supermarkets across the country or at Diamond Trust Bank outlets and NationHela agents.
- Activate the card: When you buy the NationHela card, you need to activate the card first before you start using it. Activating the card means using your mobile phone to dial the USSD code *348# You will be prompted to send an SMS with the last 8 digits of your card pack ID which is found on your PIN mailer and the last 8 digits of your Card number. Please note that all card pack ID numbers are unique and that you cannot use someone else's number. You will then receive an SMS confirming that your card has been activated. Write your name and sign on the back of your card immediately
- Load money from Mpesa to card: Log into the Pay Bill menu on the M-PESA account and enter the NationHela PayBill number 516602. Enter the NationHela mobile number (Your mobile number) and amount you'd like to top up.
- Link card to PayPal: Use this guide
- Shop around

BVI, First Time
I can see Tortola from my porch. Set yourself a reasonable itinerary, do some snorkeling or diving and have a laid-back vacation. The wind blows roughly from Virgin Gorda toward Jost, E to NE. Do an itinerary that allows both weatherly and downwind sailing in the same day. You''ll just scratch the surface of the BVI in 2 weeks. Go to Jost - Soggy Dollar, Foxy''s, etc. - Cane Garden Bay - Quito''s and tell Quito I said hi. If there''s a full moon around the time you''re going to be there, hit the full moon party at the Bomba Shack, anchoring in either Cane Garden or West End at Soper''s Hole and cab it to Bomba''s. An event and location not to be missed. Skip the mushroom tea. Willie T at Norman Island, the wreck of the Rhone, which can be snorkeled and viewed from above, if you don''t dive, Gorda Sound is nice, the baths, etc. etc. Just sailed through there on the round trip to St. Martin. Racing in Drake''s Passage in a couple of weeks. Enjoy. Then ask yourself why YOU couldn''t figure out a way to live here comfortably. That''s what we did.......

Plans for Sweden's ESS particle accelerator unveiled
March 12, 2013
The European Spallation Source (ESS), a new particle accelerator to be built in Lund, Sweden, has been in the works for years, but, following the result of a design competition, we now have a fairly good idea of how the thing will look.
At the heart of the ESS will be a 600-meter (1970-ft) linear accelerator (or linac) which fires protons at a tungsten target, from which neutrons are consequently emitted. This process is known as spallation, hence the name of the facility. The neutrons are monitored, and the data analyzed, in this case at a separate facility in Copenhagen, Denmark. The accelerator will be both larger and more powerful, 30 times more powerful, than other accelerators of its type.
Though fundamental to the development, none of the above is news. What's new is the design of the campus to be built around the facility – a competition-winning design developed by a team led by Henning Larsen Architects. The campus will incorporate 100,000 sq m (1,077,000 sq ft) of labs, offices and will include a lecture theater, as well as a public visitor center. The accelerator's tungsten target will be symbolically mirrored by the roof of a large circular roof built above the hall holding the target itself.
The campus buildings have been arranged so as to provide shelter from the wind, intended to make outdoor meeting spaces usable for an extra few weeks of the year.
As part of the master-plan, rainwater is to be harvested from the ESS to create something of a nature reserve around the facility, with artificial wetland and fields left to grow wild in a bid to up biodiversity.
It shouldn't be long before construction work commences. The first research at the ESS is expected to take place in 2019, with final completion of the facility scheduled for 2025. The design team included COBE, SLA, Buro Happold, NNE Pharmaplan and Transsolar. Some of the competing proposals can be seen in the image gallery.
Sources: Henning Larsen Architects, The European Spallation Source
So, what is the difference between the Hadron Collider and this?Brooks Hubbard
As different as night and day. The Large Hadron Collider is built to produce new particles when huge amounts of energy are released by colliding hadrons in head on collisions. The point of the research is to find out what is produced.
I don't know much about the ESS but from the description given above it is designed as a source of neutrons to research neutrons and maybe use them as probes when exploring materials. The energies involved are far less than those of the LHC. Neutrons are tricky to deal with. They have no electric charge so they are difficult to move or accelerate. Outside of the atom they decay with a half life of about 10 minutes so you need a fresh source if you wish to study them or use them.
It is not uncommon to use a linear accelerator as a means of producing a bright source of x-rays or other photons or particles.
In a fluorescent light bulb electrons are accelerated through a gas to produce ultraviolet light that then excites a phosphor to produce visible light.
In an x-ray tube used at the dentist's office electrons of somewhat higher energy are slammed into a metal target to produce x-rays.
A linear accelerator is a machine running at even higher energies to produce particles or photons, depending on the design.neutrino23
So what's wrong with modifying the collider at Fermilab in Illinois to do the same things? Does ALL the cutting edge physics experimentation have to migrate to Europe? Have we, as a nation, totally given up our once leading roll in particle physics? This country is going down the tubes.JAT

The Annotated Guide To Banana Republic's "Startup Guy" Look
What does it mean to look like a "startup guy," anyway?
Banana Republic, for its fall fashion line, has put together a "Startup Guy" look, which reads more "Brooklyn Guy on the L train" than hoodie-wearing tech dork. But no matter: Fashion is aspirational. "The Startup Guy" outfit isn't what dudes working in tech today actually wear, it is what they may want to look like after they see BR's latest catalog.
But what exactly makes this man in khakis and a blue button-down—pretty standard fare for business casual—the prototypical "startup guy"? Fast Company tried to discern what about this getup Banana Republic thinks screams "startup guy":
The hoodie is the stereotypical uniform of the tech geek because it suggests the wearer doesn't care about fashion; he is too busy coding. "Hoodie signals young talent," a tech worker told Marketplace a few months ago. "I wear a pair of jeans and a black T-shirt almost every day," Erik Schnakenberg, the CEO of a men's fashion startup (!) added. "It's one less thing to think about." In other words, not caring about fashion is a fashion statement.
Banana Republic, however, thinks the unfortunately dressed nerd can do better, and still suggest he isn't too vain.
Or, here's another theory. As the tech bubble inflates, Banana has identified a different segment of tech bros: those running arms open into the gold rush. Those "Startup Guys" care about money and the toys it can buy. Maybe they're the dudes shopping at Banana Republic.

Hey Rebecca, that was a cool idea, but the women start-up community wants a collection too! We challenged Banana Republic and we have a selfie contest "DressMe for the Start-up Gal"! http://dressmefor.me/2014/09/11/banana-republic/
Those guys are on the the forefront of technology, they create products that will change the world. Why on Earth would they want to care about what to wear. The hoodie and jeans as neutral uniform is just fine because it doesn't distract. Steve Jobs (as someone one who would only wear jeans and black turtlenecks) would laugh at carefully half tucked in button down shirts and dull banana khakis. Stay away from fashion nonsense, FastCo
I love these guys in SF. They have business cards that are the color of "...bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Grail."
Modern tech dudes' apathy toward fashion reminds me of circa-90's tech dudes ambivalence toward graphic and UI design. Their pride in looking like they don't care is real and misplaced.
That said, khakis again? Ugh
They're shirts and pants that have been altered to cater to the interests of a market segment. Why the snide analysis? There are better topics to write on in the creative sphere.
Where's the Start Up Girl look?
bahahah. Girls in technology??? What is this 2014?
dabbleit.com would definitely be handy for annotating these aha
Love this, especially with "the new business casual" that has been seen on young professionals lately. Would love if you checked out my blog, crispmenswear.com! I talk about a lot of fashion advice for guys, and this is a great related piece!

play it how you want to Mary. while i suspect she might surpise you, in a good way, this is your truth, and it's up to you how/when/if you're going to tell it (to her)
Hey guys so I made this video about the recent announcement the oreos company made about their acceptance of lgbtq people :3 check it out and tell me what you think
Good luck Mary.
I am also trans but also in America, so I can't help with any specific UK sources. However, I suggest looking around on Tumblr a bit because there are several trans pages there that have people from all over the place, and there's a chance that you might be able to find something more specific. Sorry that wasn't super helpful but I figured I'd give it a shot.
I was also going to offer my services as someone to talk to. For you as well, Jamie, since you said you're in the process of coming out. Really for anyone, I'm not going to lie. I figure you can never have too much support, right?
@Jamie BEST WISHES! and on a serious note id love to talk, thank you for reaching out , im not great with it myself x
I'm straight, but I am in full support of all LGBTQIA people here!
in person really is the best, so sorry so few of us can help. in the interim, you have made of awesome people here...

Can not use a Contains or FreeText predicate on table or indexed view 'mytable' because it is not full-text indexed.
To use full-text search, we need to set full-text index on the table first.

I want to start running, i'm done with the gym!! but i don't know how….any encouraging words, tips, recommendations? I just moved to a new city, and i'm living one block from the beach, so i thought it would be super nice to run there. I would like to run in the mornings, but i love my bed too much to do so…maybe when i get addicted i will run in the AM.
For know i'm gathering all the info, technics, tips, etc, to get started. I'm a bit cerebral as you can see.
anyway, i hope you can advice me…on how to get started and what cross exercise i could do (that don't require gym).
thank you veeery much
Jael Lambeth (from Chile)
Oooh Chile! Exciting!
I'm leaving this one for the readers to answer. Ya'll know I'm not a runner, so I can't give the same impassioned answer you pavement pounders can. I will give the canned "trainer" response of starting slow, alternating running and walking and slowly over time increase the intervals of running and shortening the ones for walking. Also, Couch to a 5k is a site everyone swears by for very beginners. That's my contribution.
So guys- share your running advice with Jael. What's the one thing you learned about running you think Jael should know? Anything from picking shoes, to rest days, to stretching, and pace.
This is your chance to mold a new runner. Jael is your clay, sculpt her.

Security increased at movies following shootings
She said a few police officers were stationed outside but she saw none inside. After the movie, staff members stood outside and thanked people for coming.
"I guess they were worried that people would stay home," said Hager, 32, of Baltimore, a TV station web producer. "I've never seen that happen before."
At the Regal Gallery Place multiplex in downtown Washington, moviegoers trickled into an 11 a.m. showing. Theater employees searched patrons' bags and purses while taking their tickets.
"I'm believing that it's not related so much to the movie," Steve Glaude, a 57-year-old federal employee, said of the shooting. "The movie may have been a trigger. It may not have been. We don't know. I don't think it was hero or villain emulation."
Christine Cooley, who works near Tampa, Fla., for the University of Florida, said her 15-year-old daughter has sworn off going to the movies because of the tragedy.
"It's tainted the movie completely for her," Cooley said. "It's summertime. That's a big movie time for teenagers. That movie is off the list now. Movie theaters in general are off her summer to-do list because of that."
Cooley said she tried to explain that the shooting was random and not an indication of security at theaters in general, "but I can see where she's coming from. Why put yourself in harm's way?"
At the United Artists Riverview Stadium 17 in Philadelphia, a steady stream of people headed in for morning showings of "The Dark Knight Rises." Staff members said that there was extra security, but that that was normal for big movies and unrelated to the Colorado shooting.
Neal Mates, 38, a professed "film geek," said: "Shootings can happen anywhere. ... I think it's silly to blame the film."
Associated Press writers Alex Katz in New York, Eileen Sullivan and Ben Nuckols in Washington, Patrick Walters in Philadelphia, Jim Suhr in St. Louis and Andrew Welsh-Huggins in Columbus, Ohio, contributed to this report.

The date bubble on mine is messed up. http://www.weeklypeeve.com/ It's too close to the blog text. How do I fix it?
hi saintlsaiah thanks for purchasing the theme ! please activat the theme and let me see the problem because it's an other theme now that it is active . thanks !
The blog is back up, with only the logo replaced. The big issue now is that you php character limit function is limiting the post, but even when I click the more button to display the entire entry, it's still cut off. no page has been edited yet at this point.
My email is email@example.com
please check your email
Hello sakari,
I love your theme but I am having problems with some elements. Post images show double images, word spacing for the description are too far apart, popular post image does not show, contact us page not showing up as well. Can you take a look at my site to see if there is something I missed. I am using the latest of wordpress 2.9.2. URL http://mygoddessfigure.com/
I think the theme designer abandoned his work. This theme hasn't been updated in years. Even the publisher's website has turned into some hosting service provider. I guess the the theme designer didn't even renewed the domain name on which the demo was hosted. So this theme is basically bah-bye.
I purchased this template but the banners do not show. Do you have any suggestions for this?

Great Vacation Home
Great house for family or couple
We arrived very early in the morning and were able to get into the house early, everything was set up fantastic for us and easily explained. We saw lots of fish jumping in the canal, turtles, little lizards and a flock of parrots (things we never see in Colorado where we live :) The pool was great even in mid-September and after it rained it was still warm enough to splash around in.
We ate out at Tom Jenkins BBQ and Chima Brazilian restaurant, both were very good, Chima is more of a fine dining restaurant and more expensive. We also did a trip on the Carrie B harbor tour, it also was wonderful and going this time of year not to busy. We have been to Ft Lauderdale before and I think this was the best visit. The weather wasn't to hot, the stay at the house over a hotel stay was a 100% better experience. I would recommend for all to consider and is potentially cheaper than a hotel stay.
Comforts of Home
Very relaxing, quiet piece of property. Pool was nice and clean. I can't think of one thing this home did not offer that we may have needed.
Great location and close to all activities. We will definitely stay again on our next trip to Ft. Lauderdale.
Pleasant base for exploring
Very peaceful. Loved the paraketes flying above.
House was very well equipped with everything we needed for cooking. Great new Bar-B-Q.
Shame there were no paddles for the kayaks as we wanted to explore the canals. We did ask for them but they never appeared.
Very happy to recommend this to others.
Great House and great management

In this Speaker Series on Economic Policy presentation, CATO Director of Health Policy Studies, Michael Cannon, discusses the King v. Burwell case that is currently before the U.S. Supreme Court. In examining this topic, Cannon poses and answers the question: can the president rewrite the ACA without Congress?

What does the pending U.S. Supreme Court case King v. Burwell mean for Missouri? Policy Researcher Michael Rathbone sums it up.
In this February 2015 Policy Forum, University of Missouri Law Professor Joshua Hawley discusses the King v. Burwell case which is currently before the Supreme Court of the United States.
Two court decisions about the health insurance subsidies provided for in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) have come down on opposite sides of the issue. As a result, the U.S. Supreme Court may take these cases to clarify the law.
In an effort to bring Obamacare to Missouri, legislators in Jefferson City have re-branded the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion as a "Medicaid transformation." Missouri voters have repeatedly rejected Obamacare and any piecemeal adoption of its requirements. Missouri's General Assembly should do so again.
What can you expect from the Missouri Legislature in the 2014 session? Columbia Tribune Columnist Bob Roper detailed the key issues that he thinks lawmakers will tackle. Additionally, Show-Me Institute Policy Analyst Patrick Ishmael outlined the latest on Medicaid expansion and Obamacare.
On September 27, 2012, the Show-Me Institute co-sponsored the latest lecture in the economic speaker series at the Saint Louis University John Cook School of Business.In this talk, renowned health care expert John C. Goodman explained, with humor and lively examples, how the problems with health care in the U.S. stem not from too little regulation, but from too much. Dr. Goodman also described a path to improving health care by allowing markets to work.
In this video, Dr. Charles Willey, MD, explains some simple steps that could be taken to improve healthcare in America — no government mandate necessary.
In this video, Dr. Palmisano relates a story from early on in his medical career, testifying before congress in 1976 that national health insurance is a bad idea.Dr. Palmisano explains why it was a bad idea then and is a bad idea now.
On Friday, July 13, 2012, the Show-Me Institute hosted an event featuring a panel of healthcare experts discussing the consequences of the Affordable Care Act, as well as a number of policy alternatives to the present law.
Show-Me Institute Executive Director Brenda Talent was a
on Saint
Louis local roundtable discussion show Donnybrook on July 5, 2012.
Among the topics covered this time were: whether Missouri should elect to participate in the medicaid expansion, the Affordable Care Act, the potential development in Hadley township and its effect on homeowners in the area, whether the prevailing wage should be paid to workers rebuilding the city of Joplin, and the fate of the AAA building on Lindell Boulevard.

Detroit Red Wings finish off Ducks 3-2 in Game 7
Emerson Etem also scored and Jonas Hiller stopped 29 shots for the Ducks, who couldn't capitalize on home ice and failed in their second chance to close out their first playoff series since 2009. Another slow start doomed Anaheim, which fell behind 2-1 late in the first period on Abdelkader's goal.
"We felt we had a good thing going," Hiller said. "I think everybody thought we were going to go a long way, but it seemed like we didn't find that extra step for the playoffs. Detroit was just a little better than us. It's depressing. It makes you feel sad."
The loss completed an ugly flop for Anaheim, which had the best winning percentage in franchise history while winning just its second Pacific Division title during the lockout-shortened season.
The Ducks' defeat also is a sadly familiar playoff disappointment for coach Bruce Boudreau, who never got the Washington Capitals past the second round after four standout regular seasons with his previous club.
The loss also could be the final NHL game for Teemu Selanne, the 42-year-old franchise scoring leader who flirts with retirement every summer. The Finnish Flash said he'll take his customary several weeks before deciding his future.
"It's very disappointing," Selanne said. "We had two chances to close the series, but couldn't. ... As a group, we have to learn something from this. The playoffs are so much fun. We were looking forward to going forward and enjoying this a whole lot more."
Selanne didn't score a goal in the series' final six games - but Corey Perry, the Ducks' former 50-goal scorer and NHL MVP, didn't score a goal in the entire series despite 24 shots.
"It's not something you think is going to happen," Perry said. "You get the job done throughout the year, but it just didn't seem to be there in this series."
The clubs alternated victories until the final two games of the series, with the Ducks taking three straight one-game leads before Detroit caught them.
The Wings earned a third trip to California with an overtime win in Game 6 on Friday night - and they made it count with the Wings' fourth win in six appearances at Honda Center this season.
Anaheim had another packed house on hand for just the second Game 7 in Honda Center's history, but the Red Wings dominated from the start.
Detroit created choking traffic in front of Hiller immediately, and a rebound of Filppula's long shot went straight into the slot for Zetterberg.
The Ducks appeared overmatched early, but Etem - the 20-year-old Long Beach native - had all the poise his teammates lacked. Etem attempted to dump the puck into the Detroit zone, but instead collected a deflection and skated in on net, firing a shot over a prone defenseman and past Howard for the third goal of his first NHL playoff series.
Detroit went right back ahead when Abdelkader stole Beauchemin's pass near the blue line during the power play. Abdelkader easily skated away from Sheldon Souray and beat Hiller on a breakaway for his first goal since returning from a two-game suspension.

Gay-Friendly Teen Comedy Pitch Perfect Gets Sequel
BY Patrick Yacco
January 28 2014 2:06 PM ET
Stepping away from her usual role as an actress and producer, Elizabeth Banks is set to direct the sequel to 2012's hit teen musical comedy Pitch Perfect, reports TheMarySue.com.
Known mostly for her performances in movies such as The 40-Year-Old Virgin and the Hunger Games franchise, Pitch Perfect 2 marks Banks's debut as a director.
Pitch Perfect was set in the world of competitive college a cappella groups and included breakout performances from Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson. Banks portrayed a commentator of the finals competitions. The film would go on to gross over $100 million at the box office and produce a platinum-certified soundtrack.
In addition to offering a female-centric cast and plot, Pitch Perfect was the directorial debut of out filmmaker Jason Moore. The film also included a lesbian character and quickly became a hit with LGBT audiences. While few details beyond Banks's involvement have been announced, the sequel is expected to be as queer-friendly as the original.

In this recession, scrapping enough cash together for a sac can be tricky. Luckily, we're here to help. If you're pinching pennies to get that gram then you should ask for a raise, but if you find yourself out of ganja before your next paycheck then read on.
1) The First thing you want to do when you originally purchase your stash is hide some. I sometimes have my girlfriend do this, so I can't cheat and hit it up early. Actually she gave me this idea when she starting purloining little nugs without my knowledge then surprising me when I ran out.
2) Get a dug out. They're cheap (you can get them on St Mark's Place in NYC for 20 bones) and covert enough for Midtown Manhattan smoking. Be careful with these though because the shoddy one's will trap little flecks of nugget in the wood on the bottom, and they cease being useful if you have to bang out those last pieces of grass.
3) Try and limit your smoking. I know this sounds dumb, but if you have some nice Kush, maybe think twice before rolling that up in a Dutchie.
4) Use a Kief catcher. Every time you rack a ripe, use the catcher, and obviously any time you roll something up. Eventually you can pour a whole load on a bong hit and go comatose for half a day. Also it's nice for when you only have one bowl left, or you're just out and using resin like a degenerate.
5) Search for it. Best possible places to find weed sitting alone:
A) Back of your car. I once found about an 1/8's worth of it in my backseat in high school. If you're driving around with your buddies for a little lunchtime toke, you would be amazed how much falls into the seat or on the ground.
B) Couch. Same reason as above.
C) Your coffee table is the first place you should check if that's your go to place to pack a pipe or roll something.
D) As part of the coffee table, check out the joints you smoked in the past. Chances are you stubbed that shit out a little too soon, and there's a nice roach waiting for you.
