Series: New Problems of Philosophy
The nature of representation is a central topic in philosophy. This is the first book to connect problems with understanding representational artifacts, like pictures, diagrams, and inscriptions, to the philosophies of science, mind, and art.
Can images be a source of knowledge? Are images merely conventional signs, like words? What is the relationship between the observer and the observed? In this clear and stimulating introduction to the problem John V. Kulvicki explores these questions and more. He discusses:
In so doing he assesses central problems in the philosophy of images, such as how objects we make come to represent other things, and how we distinguish kinds of representation - pictures, diagrams, graphs - from one another. Essential reading for students and professional philosophers alike, the book also contains chapter summaries, annotated further reading, and a glossary.
"… a comprehensive introduction to the philosophy of imagistic representations. Kulvicki provides a splendid critical introductory overview of recent philosophical accounts of pictorial representation, the majority of which have been developed within the framework of the philosophy of art. … In sum, this book provides an excellent critical overview of contemporary theories of pictorial representation. But it is also an ambitious attempt to provide the foundations of an account of a broader domain of images." - Paloma Atencia-Linares, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
"Smartly written and skilfully constructed, featuring an even-handed and comprehensive overview of the best that philosophers have had to say about images. If your library has space for only one book on the philosophy of pictures, then this is it." - Dominic McIver Lopes, University of British Columbia, Canada
"A first-rate introduction to the philosophical debate on the nature of images. Yet, this book delivers much more than just an introduction. By discussing images in the context of the philosophy of science, aesthetics, and the philosophy of mind, Kulvicki opens up new lines of inquiry and invites the reader to think more deeply about the nature of images." - René Jagnow, University of Georgia, USA
"A superb guide to the rich post-Gombrich literature on the nature of pictorial representation and images in general, including scientific images, graphs, diagrams, and mental images. It is also an innovative development and defense of Kulvicki's preferred structuralist theory. Sophisticated yet accessible, it is exceptionally interesting and insightful." - Kendall Walton, University of Michigan, USA

Clos Saint-Jean Deus Ex Machina Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2010
Rhone Red Blends from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "A perfect wine (and equal to the profound 2007), the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Deus-Ex Machina was cropped at under 20 hectoliters per hectare. Extremely full-bodied and dense purple-colored, it exhibits notes of blueberries, blackberries, licorice, incense, camphor, vanillin and chocolate-covered espresso beans (no doubt from the new demi-muids in which the Mourvedre component was aged). The tannins are noticeable, but relatively silky. The most muscular and formidable 2010 in this portfolio, its expansiveness, mind-boggling richness and intensity, and 60-second finish are the stuff of legends. Forget this remarkable Chateauneuf du Pape for five years and drink it over the following thirty years."
Wine Spectator - "This is loaded with bittersweet ganache, espresso, roasted fig, blackberry confiture and graphite notes, all of which manage to fall in stride together. Offers lots of briary grip, with a Black Forest cake note driving through the finish. Dark and dense, but with terrific cut. Best from 2015 through 2030."
International Wine Cellar - "Vivid purple. Powerful, intensely perfumed aromas of black and blue fruits, potpourri and smoky Indian spices, with a bright mineral nuance adding vivacity. Offers an array of sappy dark fruit and floral flavors and suggestions of allspice, star anise and candied licorice. Finishes on a sweet note of candied lavender, with outstanding energy and focus."

Clos Saint-Jean Winery
The prestigious Clos Saint Jean is run by the fourth generation of the Tacussel/Maurel family - Vincent and Pascal Maurel - under the tutelage of renowned oenologist Philippe Cambie. Clos Saint-Jean is considered by critics, sommeliers, and consumers alike to be among the top properties of the Southern Rhone. Robert Parker comments, "The tasting of the five (2007) cuvees must rank among the greatest single tasting in the southern Rhone I have ever done in 30+ years of wine tasting. Last year I sensed something special was happening, and the bottled (2007) wines confirm that something rare had occurred in the vineyards and cellars of Clos Saint-Jean." The estate now boasts four 100 point wines, sourced from their extraordinary old vine plots, including choice parcels in the famed La Crau district of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The raw material for this wine is what is deemed at many domaines suitable for their top end cuvees, yet at Clos Saint-Jean this is their classic bottling. This cuvee "Vieilles Vignes" is produced from the oldest vines of the View all Clos Saint-Jean Wines
About Chateauneuf-du-Pape(shah-too-NUHF due Pahp)Southern Rhone's landmark region, Chateauneuf du Pape, was the first region to gain AC status in France. That was the 1920s – it's history goes much further back than that. As the name suggests, the wine region was named after the "new papal home," referring to the period of time in the 1300's when the pope resided in Avignon instead of Rome.
Photo of galets covering the soil at Chateau de Beaucastel
Notable FactsThere are 13 allowed varieties in Chateauneuf du Pape (14 if you count Grenache Blanc separately from Grenache Noir). Grenache is the primary variety, followed by Syrah and Mourvedre as well as Cinsault. About 97% of the wines here are red, although many chateaux are producing whites ranging from quaffable to decadent and ageworthy. Reds from the best estates emit wonderful flavors of gamey spice, blackberries and currant, as well as the herbs and spices that are known to grow in the region.
Note on the soil: The grapes grow on soils covered in rounded, smooth stones called galets (gah-lay). The stones naturally cover most of the soils throughout Chateauneuf du Pape and are two fold in their duties. First, they are able to reflect and absorb the heat, to quicken the ripening of the grapes. They also help to hold in moisture so that the soils are not dried out by the hot Southern French sun.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Latest Del Norte plans unveiled
POWAY —— When Del Norte High School opens in fall 2008, students will walk onto a sophisticated cyber-campus where architects incorporated suggestions made by teachers and administrators from another school in the Poway district.
While NTDStichler Architecture will use the same design it created for Westview High School, which the Poway Unified School District opened in 2002, Del Norte will include changes and enhancements that include feedback gained from the Westview staff, said Bruce Thomas, NTDStichler project manager.
The new school will have its own distinctive, contemporary look and use a cooler color palette than Westview's earthy tones, he said.
"The students aren't going to feel like they have a cookie-cutter repeat of Westview," Thomas said.
At a school board meeting this week, officials with NTDStichler presented their latest designs for Del Norte, which will be built in the growing 4S Ranch and Black Mountain Ranch North Village area. Groundbreaking for the school is set for 2006. Del Norte, which is expected to cost about $100 million to build, will be Poway Unified's fifth comprehensive high school. The campus, like the others in the district, is planned to accommodate up to 2,600 students.
After seeing the presentation during the board meeting Tuesday, Superintendent Don Phillips said he was pleased with the custom elements included in the Del Norte design.
"My hunch is that you might walk on this campus and not think it's a double of the other school," Phillips said. "That would be a great outcome."
The 62-acre Del Norte campus is slightly smaller than Westview, which is on 66 acres. The new school itself will be about 211,000 square feet.
"It's a more efficient site even though it's smaller," said Jon Baker, the chief executive officer of NTDStichler.
The design for Del Norte puts a larger emphasis on energy conservation than Westview, by using more windows and other elements to bring more daylight into the buildings, he said.
The NTDStichler staff held post-occupancy interviews with teachers and administrative staff at Westview and then used those suggestions for the Del Norte design. Through that feedback, more landscaping and shaded areas were added to Del Norte, plans were reconfigured for the administrative areas to make them function more efficiently, and the size of resource rooms was reduced to give more space to classrooms.
Thomas said the average classroom will be about 960 square feet and will be able to accommodate about 27 students.
"They need the space more in the classroom than they do in the resource room, it's as simple as that," Thomas said.
The new campus will include a stadium, several baseball diamonds, a 10,908-square-foot gym, a cyber-cafe where students can access the Internet with their laptop computers, a "black box" drama classroom, which will allow teachers and students to work on experimental theater projects, and 931 parking spots.
Depending on school curriculum, the campus may also feature a video production-3-D animation-digital photography complex. All classrooms will contain "smartboards," allowing information an instructor writes on the board to be transferred into students' personal computers, Thomas said.

With the recent restructuring of Sega and their emphasis on mobile and PC some thought that Sonic might be relegated to a future on smartphones and tablets. Thankfully, Takashi Iizuka who is the head of Sonic Team, said we should still expect to see Sonic titles on home consoles. The next home console Sonic title was rumoured for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and hopefully the Wii U.
Personally, I don't plan to stop Sonic for home-video game consoles. Don't worry about them! And enjoy!

Split-second choice ended with NY student dead
NEW YORK The college student was being held in a headlock by a masked intruder with a loaded gun to her head, police said. Then the gunman took aim at an officer.
A moment later both Hofstra University junior Andrea Rebello and the intruder were dead - killed after a split-second decision that is perhaps the most harrowing in law enforcement: when to pull the trigger.
"The big question is, how do you know, when someone's pointing a gun at you, whether you should keep talking to them, or shoot?" said Michele Galietta, a professor of psychology at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice who helps train police officers. "That's what makes the job of an officer amazingly difficult."
She spoke Sunday as Hofstra University students honored Rebello, a popular 21-year-old public relations major, by wearing white ribbons at their graduation ceremony.
Rebello's funeral is scheduled for Wednesday in Sleepy Hollow, north of New York City.
The news that she died from a police bullet came as "a second shock" for the already devastated family, said Henry Santos, Rebello's godfather.
"I think it really is more tragic," said Carol Conklin-Spillane, principal of Sleepy Hollow High School, where Rebello and her twin sister graduated in 2010. "My heart goes out to everyone. You have to empathize with the police officer. He's dealing with the consequences of a split-second decision."
"We're talking informally with the seniors who are getting ready to leave us," the principal said. "Graduating is "a scary proposition to begin with and we're helping them with any extra anxiety."
At the family's home in Tarrytown, a handwritten note on white paper was taped to the shingles next to the door.
"Please respect the family's privacy. We are in a state of grief, thank-you. But we are not talking," it said.
Rebello's life ended in the seconds that forced the veteran police officer to make a fatal decision, but the questions surrounding the student's death are just beginning, along with an internal investigation by the Nassau County Police Department.
Rebello and the intruder, Dalton Smith, died early Friday when the officer fired eight shots, hitting him seven times and her once in the head, according to county homicide squad Lt. John Azzata.
With a gun pointed at her, Smith "kept saying, `I'm going to kill her,' and then he pointed the gun at the police officer," according to Azzata.
The officer acted quickly, saying later that he believed his and Rebello's lives were in danger, according to authorities.
No doubt, he was acting to try to save lives - his own and that of the young woman, Galietta said.
"What we're asking the cop to anticipate is, `What is going on in the suspect's mind at the moment?'" she said. "We're always trying to de-escalate, to contain a situation, but the issue of safety comes in first, and that's the evaluation the officer has to make."
Eugene O'Donnell, a former New York City police officer and professor of law and police studies at John Jay College, said the crucial issue may be whether or not police had deemed it a hostage situation. If so, he said, there are protocols police follow to buy time, slow down, isolate and assess.

The team says in a statement released Tuesday that while he has recommended putting the club up for sale ``once he is no longer with us,'' all plans are ``fluid'' and ``ultimately will depend on timing and other circumstances.'' The White Sox also say he has no plans to sell the team anytime soon.
The 77-year-old Reinsdorf is the chairman of the White Sox and Chicago Bulls. He told the Sports Business Journal that the plan he has recommended to his sons calls for the family relinquishing its stake in the White Sox while maintaining control of the Bulls.

This course introduces web designers to the nuts and bolts of HTML (HyperText Markup Language), the programming language used to create web pages. Author Bill Weinman explains what HTML is, how it's structured, and presents the major tags and features of the language. Discover how to format text and lists, add images and flow text around them, link to other pages and sites, embed audio and video, and create HTML forms. Additional tutorials cover the new elements in HTML5, the latest version of HTML, and prepare you to start working with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
Using the colgroup and col elements, you can apply styles to columns and groups of columns in your tables. Let's make a working copy of table-semantic.html, and we'll go ahead and see how this feature works. I'll call this one -working, open that in the text editor. I'm just going to page through this real quick for those of you who are typing along at home. And we'll go ahead and open this in our browser as well. And let's take a look at how this feature works.
If we come down here into the table and right after caption and before thead-- and this element always must go after caption if there is any, otherwise right at the top of the table before any thead, tbody, tfoot, tr elements. And we come in here and we can type colgroup. I'll put an end tag also. And inside the colgroup we get columns, which are indicated with the col element. I'm just going to give them class as well.
I'll go ahead and copy and paste, because that will make this go faster. So what we have here is a colgroup element, which is a way of grouping columns together. See, the rows are already grouped together, because we have these elements. So it's possible to style a row just by styling tr. But there is no other way to style a column. If I wanted to style a column, I would have to put a Column 1 class on all of the Column 1 elements. But if I don't want to do that, there wasn't any way to that. So colgroup was invented to style columns.
So col, the first one represents this first column; the second one represents the second column; and the third one represents this third column. So now I can go and style these because I've given them class names: col1, col2, and col3. So I can style those class names with the class selector--col1--and let's just give it a background color. And I will make copies of these and give them different colors. Now when I save this and reload my browser, you notice these columns now have their own colors.
You notice that the footer is not styled, because the footer already has a color in it. If I take that color out of the footer and save that and reload, you'll see the footer gets the color as well. So the position of the col elements within the colgroup element are used to represent the position of the column. So the first col element represents the first column in the table, and likewise. On the other hand, it's possible for a col element to represent more than one adjacent columns, by using the span attribute.
So if I say span=2 and then take out one of these other columns, when I reload, now that first col element represents two adjacent columns. That allows you to style groups of columns rather than just individual columns. So the colgroup feature is very useful for applying style to columns or groups of columns in your tables.

When the argument PC gaming's demise arises, one of the most common issues discussed falls back on piracy. The fact is, piracy on the PC is easy, and no single person can deny that. Upon release, and sometimes even before, full games are available on various networks that include cracks to bypass protections, and the same goes for applications and other things. On consoles, though, piracy is made a lot more difficult. But, that doesn't stop many people from taking part.
I knew that piracy on the Xbox 360 was rather common, but I had no idea just how common. Hot on the heels of the Modern Warfare 2 release, Microsoft has banned some 600,000 gamers from its Xbox Live network. That means, no official online gameplay for those using modded consoles. Currently, Xbox Live has some 20,000,000 subscribers, so 600,000 seems like nothing more than a drop in the bucket, but 3% is rather significant from some angles.
I admit I'm not that familiar with Xbox 360 modding, and I'm not sure if the only reason people mod their console is to pirate, but judging by Microsoft's comments, that seems to be the case. It's quoted as saying, "All consumers should know that piracy is illegal and that modifying their Xbox 360 console to play pirated discs violates the Xbox Live terms of use, will void their warranty and result in a ban from Xbox Live.". Well, there's not much room for confusion there.
How Microsoft detects modded consoles, I'm unsure, but given that the console must handshake with its servers, you'd imagine it wouldn't be too difficult. So the moral of the story is this… if you want to play on Xbox Live, don't mod your Xbox. This isn't the first time Microsoft has had a huge sweep of bans, and I'm sure it won't be the last. If you want to mod your Xbox, it'd probably be wise to purchase a second console, while keeping the first one "clean".
But many gamers modify their consoles by installing new chips or software that allows them to run unofficial – but not always illegal – programs and games. However, some chips are specifically designed to play pirated games. Microsoft has not said how it was able to determine which gamers to disconnect. "We do not reveal specifics, but can say that all consoles have been verified to have violated the terms of use," the firm said in a statement.

NEW YORK (April 27, 2011) The long, strange journey taken by Maurice Sugar Moe Harris finds the USBA heavyweight champion only two fights away from his living his dream to fight for the world title, as he prepares to go back to the future May 27 to participate in an International Boxing Federation (IBF) Box-Off against the same opponent he defeated a decade ago in the final of the Thunderbox Heavyweight Tournament, former world title challenger Tony The Tiger Thompson, live on ESPN Friday Night Fights from Reno Events Center in Nevada.
Harris (24-14-2, 10 KOs) and Thompson are IBF rated No. 8 and No.9, respectively, and the winner of their 12-round May 27 co-feature earns a showdown against the other IBF Box-Off winner, Fast Eddie Chambers (36-2, 18 KOs), who defeated Derric Rossey by way of a 12-round unanimous decision this past February to become the IBF No. 1 contender. The Harris-Thompson winner automatically becomes No. 2 and earns a place in an IBF Title Eliminator against Chambers to ultimately determine the IBF mandatory challenger for champion Wladimir Klitschko (or David Haye if he wins their July 2nd unification fight.
It feels good to finally be here, Harris said from his training camp in New Jersey. Its been a long road and now I have a special opportunity against Tony Thompson, who is a great fighter but somebody I have to overcome. I dont think I have an edge because I beat him in the Thunderbox Tournament because that happened a long time ago (2002) and it was only a three-round fight. We were both younger then but we have to do it all over again.
Im fighting for something very important. Im more focused today than I was when I fought Thompson. Age brings wisdom. Another fight against Thompson has always been there for us to clash. His name came up a few times and now its happening. Hes going to bring his A game, Im going to bring my A game may the best man win. I dont want to get caught-up in the hype (future world title fight implications). I just want to remain focused on this fight.
The 35-year-old Harris has beaten some of the best but also lost to journeymen playing the role of a classic heavyweight underachiever for most of his up-and-down 18-year pro career. The reborn-Harris, however, is riding high on the crest of a wave that he hopes reaches its zenith with a world title belt wrapped around his waist.
After making his pro debut December 4, 1992, losing a four-round decision to Joe Kenna, Harris lost three of his first five fights and was 5-4-2 midway through 1994. Back-to-back losses via knockouts to world title challengers Vaughn Bean and Dale Brown followed, but Harris bounced back strong with a win by eight-round decision versus previously unbeaten David Izon18-0) to start 1996.
When Harris stopped Jimmy Thunder (32-7) in the seventh round of their 1997 fight, Maurice was chosen as the opponent come-backing former world champion Larry Holmes, who won a 10-round split decision that most observers felt Maurice should have been awarded.
The resilient Harris, however, reeled-off seven straight victories, including a 10-round decision against world title challenger Jeremy Williams in 1999 on only a five-day notice. Harris eventually gained the experience he lacked with no amateur background to speak of when he later sparred with world champions Lennox Lewis and Mike Tyson.
Harris lost to another world title challenger, Derrick Jefferson, in one of 1999s best and most entertaining fights, but Maurice became more inactive from that point on, winning his only two fights in 2000, and losing his 2001 showdowns to former and future world champions, Chris Byrd and Henry Akinwande.
In 2002, Harris knocked out previously unbeaten and future world title-holder Sergei Liakhovich (16-0) in the ninth round, earning him a spot in that Novembers Thunderbox tournament, in which he captured the $100,000 winners purse by out-pointing Gerald Nobles, Israel Garcia and Thompson in the finale, fighting three-round bouts on the same evening.
After being stopped in the 10th round by Fres Oquendo in his first fight after upsetting Liakhovich, Harris found himself frustrated and on the shelf by his promoter Don King, fighting only four times in six years, idle for all of 2008 and 2009, until Maurice signed a promotional contract in late 2009 with Boxing 360. His first fight with his new promoter was a win by 6-round unanimous decision January 29, 2010 against Billy Zumbrun (23-10-1) in Albuquerque.
Harris went on to win six and eight round decisions, respectively, against 7-foot Julius Long and Robert Harris, setting the stage for his August 6, 2010 USBA title shot against a Nagy Aguilera, who was 10 years younger than Maurice and had defeated former world champion Oleg Maskaev only a five months earlier. Harris out-boxed Aquilera (16-3) by scores of 117-111, 117-111 and 115-113 for a unanimous 10-round decision and the USBA crown.
Ive believed all these years that I would someday be fighting for the world heavyweight title, Harris concluded. It took me to meet Mario (Yagobi, CEO and Founder of Boxing 360), somebody who believed in me, to get me this opportunity. Im not there, yet, but Im only two fights away from my dream of fighting for the world title.

Vergara v. California Decision: Teacher Tenure Is Not the Problem
Erin Simmeth | Posted 08.12.2014 | Education
Read More: Court Decisions, Public Schools, Teacher Tenure, Teachers, Vergara v. State of California, Education, Education News
Lengthening the tenure decision process from two to three or even five years will not change the fact that our schools themselves, and the teachers they can afford to hire, vary wildly from district to district, often even from town to town.
This isn't just an animal-rights issue -- it's about making sure our courts are not bending the Constitution to suit the desires of corporate America. It's time to Occupy the Barnyard.

Five Star Dairy Farm

|Farm Scale
|Animal Type
|Population Feeding Digester
|Baseline System
|Storage Lagoon
|Digester Type
|Complete Mix
|Substrate (high-fat food wastes such as greases and oils)
|System Designer
|Biogas Use
|Generating Capacity
|775 kW
|Receiving Utility
|Dairyland Power Cooperative; Stargest Power, LLC
Farm Bill Funded Project
Five Star's owner acquired the benefits of anaerobic digestion through an agreement with Microgy, Inc. and Dairyland Power Cooperative. Microgy provided a complete turnkey digester, including development, construction, financing, and ongoing operation and maintenance. With Microgy providing financing, Five Star did not have a large cash outlay. Dairyland Power buys the resulting biogas and owns/operates the engine-generator set to generate electricity. Five Star pays off the debt on the digester through biogas sales to Dairyland. The agreement served as a business model for similar projects at Norswiss and Wild Rose Dairies.
Operational since 2005, the above-ground complete-mix digester operates at a target temperature of 125°F. Manure is scraped three times per day from the barns. A mixture of manure and about 10 percent food wastes is batched into the digester every half hour. High-fat wastes such as greases and oils enhance biogas production and are integral to the Microgy design. Five Star Dairy maintains a separate storage tank for food processing wastes.
Solids are separated out after digestion. Most of the solids are used for bedding and some are given away to local gardeners. The project includes the following benefits:
- Provides revenue from gas sales and carbon credits, which allow Five Star to pay down the debt on the digester
- Provides Dairyland Power Cooperative a competetively priced renewable energy source for their customers
- Provides digested solids free to the community, which meets a growing interest in using digested solids for gardening and enhances the farm's image
- Reduces odor significantly
It really reduces odor (and methane emissions) of the manure and it's another income stream.
—Lee Jensen, Five Star Dairy, quoted in an Environmental Power fact sheet

PORTLAND -- Several gunshots were fired at a man riding his bicycle in Northeast Portland on Monday, but no one was injured.
Police were called to the area of NE15th &Jarrett just before 4:30 p.m., after they received several calls of gunfire in the area. Northeast 15th Avenue was closed from Killingsworth to Ainsworth as crews investigated.
Witnesses said a car pulled up and someone inside it shot at the man, who ran off and later returned to collect his bicycle.
There's no word of an arrest at this point, and it's unclear what prompted the shooting.

County has awarded $315,000 to faith-based groups in recent years
The county has awarded more than $315,000 to local faith-based organizations and groups with religious ties during the past two fiscal years, The Watchdog has learned.
The funds have gone to groups ranging from those with well-known and broad social service roles, to lesser-known organizations that offer prayers at their programs. The Watchdog included in the tally organizations that describe themselves as faith-based, or that either make religion part of their mission or are connected to religion.
The money came out of the county's fiscal 2008-09 and 2009-10 Neighborhood Reinvestment and Community Enhancement programs, which are awarded at the recommendation of county supervisors.
The program grants, which have provided nearly $27 million in funds the past two fiscal years, have both been criticized as personal "slush funds" and defended as important community investments. Also hotly debated has been the question of whether public funding should go to organizations such as churches or faith-based groups, and what safeguards should be put into place to ensure the money isn't used to promote religious messages.
The county allows funding to go to religious organizations as long as it is used for secular purposes, said County Counsel John Sansone. Recipients must submit documentation proving they spent the money the way they agreed to, but they aren't required to keep the money in a separate account, county officials said.
Among the organizations that have received funds are providers of tutoring and mentoring for children, and pregnancy and adoption services. Catholic Charities was awarded $43,000 in grants. Jewish Family Service, which provides workshops on bankruptcy, residential foreclosures and nutrition and HIV counseling and testing, was awarded $30,000 in funds. The grants were awarded at the recommendation of Supervisors Ron Roberts and Bill Horn.
The YMCA and YWCA have also received thousands of dollars in grants.
The nonprofit Pastors on Point, which describes itself on its Twitter page as a "dynamic, Christ-centered ministry," received $25,000 on the recommendation of Roberts for equipment and T-shirts for graffiti removal and cleanup work in the community. The organization hires at-risk youths, many of whom have dropped out of high school and have been incarcerated for drugs, robbery and burglary, among other crimes, to do the work.
"It provides them with pride and self-esteem within themselves. We want them to buy into their community," said the organization's president, Pastor Ray Smith, adding that the work gives a productive outlet.
Smith, who works for United Missionary Baptist Church in San Diego's Skyline area, gave a tour last week of a storage container at his church where equipment is stored. Inside were shiny new lawn mowers, paint brushes, weed trimmers and chain saws. Smith said he and other local pastors were driven partly by their faith to form the group, but that participants in programs don't have to be of any particular faith.
On the bus ride to a cleanup site that morning, Smith's son, Ray Smith Jr., said the group said an optional prayer asking "the Lord to protect us."
"We'd like for the guys to go to church," he said, but they aren't required to do so.

This is an eTextbook Learn More
Nuclear Logics examines why some states seek nuclear weapons while others renounce them. Looking closely at nine cases in East Asia and the Middle East, Etel Solingen finds two distinct regional patterns. In East Asia, the norm since the late 1960s has been to forswear nuclear weapons, and North Korea, which makes no secret of its nuclear ambitions, is the anomaly. In the Middle East the opposite is the case, with Iran, Iraq, Israel, and Libya suspected of pursuing nuclear-weapons capabilities, with Egypt as the anomaly in recent decades.
Identifying the domestic conditions underlying these divergent paths, Solingen argues that there are clear differences between states whose leaders advocate integration in the global economy and those that reject it. Among the former are countries like South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan, whose leaders have had stronger incentives to avoid the political, economic, and other costs of acquiring nuclear weapons. The latter, as in most cases in the Middle East, have had stronger incentives to exploit nuclear weapons as tools in nationalist platforms geared to helping their leaders survive in power. Solingen complements her bold argument with other logics explaining nuclear behavior, including security dilemmas, international norms and institutions, and the role of democracy and authoritarianism. Her account charts the most important frontier in understanding nuclear proliferation: grasping the relationship between internal and external political survival. Nuclear Logics is a pioneering book that is certain to provide an invaluable resource for researchers, teachers, and practitioners while reframing the policy debate surrounding nonproliferation.

Ahmed Shah Abdali, also known, as Ahmad Shah Durrani was the founder of the great Durrani monarchy.
More on Ahmad Shah Abdali, Durrani Empire (1 Articles)
Conflict Between Suraj Ma...
Ahmed Shah Abdali, also known as Ahmad Shah Durrani was the founder of the great Durrani dynasty. His birth took place in Multan, which is a city in the province of
and now is a part of the modern Pakistan. He was the second son of the Chief of the Abdalis, Mohammed Zaman Khan. In his youth, Hussain Khan, the governor of Kandahar for Ghalzais, imprisoned Ahmed Shah Abdali and his elder brother. Later on Nadir Shah freed them, after his conquest of Kandahar in 1736-37. In the following ages they distinguished themselves in different battles and pledged their loyalty to nadir Shah.
After the assassination of Nadir Shah in 1747, one of his generals, Ahmad Shah Abdali rose to power and successfully established himself as the independent ruler of Afghanistan. He styled himself as Durr-i-Durran or 'the pearl of the age' and henceforth came to be known as the Durrani. When Ahmad Shah Abdali accompanied Nadir to India he witnessed the weakness of the empire and soon after he led several expeditions to India. Besides establishing political authority there were other motives, which encouraged him for this expeditions. He invaded India for the first time in January 1748, for the second time in 1750 A.D. and then again for the third time in December 1751. Ahmad Shah Abdali invaded India for the fifth time in October 1759. The invasions of Ahmad Shah Abdali affected India in several ways: the dismemberment of the tottering
Mughal Dynasty
, serious check to the rapidly spreading Maratha imperialism, indirectly helped the rise of Sikh power and kept the
East India Company
under great anxiety both during the lifetime of Ahmad Shah Abdali and even after his death.
The victory in the
Battle of Panipat
was the high point of both the power of Ahmed Shah Abdali and that of the Afghans. In fact his empire was among the largest Islamic empires in the world at that time. But soon the mighty empire began to unravel and as early as by the end of 1762 the dynasty collapsed like a pack of cards. After this Ahmed Shah Abdali, had to hasten westward to quell an insurrection in Afghanistan and also had to buy peace with the Uzbek emir of Bukhara. In 1772 Ahmed Shah Abdali retired to his abode in Maruf in the mountains lying to the east of Kandahar. He expired in the month of October in the same year and was succeeded by his son Timur Shah Durrani. The successors of Ahmad Shah Abdali proved incapable of governing the empire and faced foreign invasions from all sides and within 50 years of Ahmad Shah Abdali's death it came to an end. The achievements of Ahmad Shah Abdali were considerable and the monarch had been successful to a remarkable extent in balancing tribal alliances and hostilities and also in directing tribal forces away from rebellion. The Koh-i-noor diamond became the possession of Ahmed Shah Abdali through devious means after the death of Nadir Shah and after a series of long battles he held on to the great diamond as a symbol of his authority. His inclination towards art and literature is evident from the collection of odes in his native Pashto language and he was also the author of several Persian poems.

Now a 'simple pilgrim,' Benedict resigns papacy
Pope Benedict XVI walks away after addressing the crowd from the window of the Pope's summer residence of Castel Gandolfo, the scenic town where he will spend his first post-Vatican days and make his last public blessing as pope,Thursday, Feb. 28, 2013. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)
CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy (AP) — As bells tolled and the clock struck 8, the brass-studded wooden doors swung shut Thursday at this palace in the Italian hills, marking an end to Benedict XVI's papacy and the start of his final journey as a "simple pilgrim."
Capping a day of tearful farewells that included an extraordinary pledge of obedience to his successor, Benedict entered history as the first pope in 600 years to resign — leaving the Catholic Church in unprecedented limbo and ending a pontificate shaped by struggles to move beyond clerical sex abuse scandals and reawaken Christianity in an indifferent world.
On Benedict's last day, the mood was vastly different inside the Vatican than at Castel Gandolfo, the 17th-century papal retreat set in the hills south of Rome, where he will spend the first two months of his retirement.
At the seat of the popes, Benedict's staff bade the pontiff goodbye in scenes of dignified solemnity, with Swiss Guards in full regalia and prelates kneeling to kiss his papal ring one last time.
A livelier atmosphere reigned in the countryside, with well-wishers jamming the hilltop town's main square, shouting "Viva il Papa!" and waving the yellow and white flags of the Holy See.
Cheers went up as the 85-year-old Benedict stepped out onto the palace balcony and, arms outstretched, declared his papacy was nearing the end.
"I am simply a pilgrim beginning the last leg of his pilgrimage on this Earth," he Login to read more

All I did was removed the glass revolving tray and insert the coupler. Couldn't have been any simpler and the turntable was working again. Part was received the same week it was ordered. Very quick and didn't use any gas to go out somewhere and look for the part. Very pleased!

I hate to break it to you nico, but people other than pencil dick nerds have an interest in playing video games. The general public does not give a **** that a game runs in 1080p or has "megatextures" or horse**** like that.
Example A: I dated a girl a few months ago (something you ought to try sometime), and she had a Wii at her apartment. She asked me if I wanted to play a game and I said sure, so she popped in "Michael Jackson Dance Moves." From a technical standpoint, it was a very badly designed game with low production values, but you know what? It was a lot of fun because I was interacting with A GIRL as opposed to beating off to porn like most ElIT3 pC G4M4R$$$ do.
That is the value of systems like the Wii and the WiiU. They provide an option to people who don't want to sit in front of a display monitor for eight hours hardcore and play the latest "God of War" title.
this. while i might have said it a little calmer - you are 100% correct

Originally written on PRO Rumors | Last updated 11/10/14
The Washington Nationals and Scott Boras continue to make sweet music, as the team has agreed to sign closer Rafael Soriano to a two-year deal worth $28mm, Jeff Passan of Yahoo reports. The deal also includes a vesting option of $14mm for 2015 if Soriano finishes 120 games over the course of the next two seasons. Soriano will make $7mm in 2013 and 2014 and will receive $14mm in deferred payments from 2018-2025. Soriano was easily the biggest name on the reliever market. His market did not expand as much as it should have as he was tied to draft pick compensation, thanks to the Yankees making a qualifying offer to him, which he turned down. As the fill in closer last season, Soriano posted a 2.26 ERA with a 9.2 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9 with 42 saves.
