The first phase of redeveloping 12 acres of land around The Post and Courier's downtown building could begin within a year if the City of Charleston's approval and permitting process goes as planned.
Right now the lead-off effort is pegged for an open lot near the corner of Meeting and Columbus streets where a mix of multi-story office space, retail-commercial and apartment units would go.
The details came Thursday during an informal meeting with Evening Post Publishing Co. leaders, city officials and local residents to discuss some of the design and zoning aspects.
Last year, the company announced plans to re-develop its property around the newspaper in a re-do being called "Courier Square." The first phase covers about 2½ acres of the total 12 acres the company has in the area.
Scott Parker of DesignWorks and one of several members of the redevelopment group, said the first building would include about 70,000 square-feet of "Class A" office space; 20,000 square-feet of retail and commercial space; and about 200 living units that he described as "loft" type.
All the property would be wrapped around a parking garage. It would also be about seven stories tall, with five stories visible from the street, according to early design ideas.
The redevelopment area — one of Charleston's largest — covers most of three city blocks between Meeting, Columbus, St. Philip and Line streets. It is owned by Evening Post Publishing Co., parent company of the Post and Courier and other media properties.
Tim Keane, director of Charleston's Department of Planning, Preservation and Sustainability, said an early positive of the effort is that the company has decided to do the project in separate design stages, instead of the "mega approach" that other large-scale urban projects have followed.
In all, up to 2 million square feet of residential, retail and offices could be added to the area.

From Shakespeare to Existentialism, by Walter Kaufmann
Nietzschean Hardheartedness
From Shakespeare to Existentialism.
by Walter Kaufmann.
Beacon Press. 404 pp. $4.95.
Professor Kaufmann's new book purports to trace a grand historical development of ideas; actually it is only a collection of scattered essays and reviews, most of them previously published during the last ten years. These papers deal, casually and discursively, with a number of vaguely related historical, philosophical, religious, and aesthetic questions that are raised or prompted by authors widely separated from one another in time, nationality, vocation, style, tradition, and interest. The authors include Shakespeare, Goethe, Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Rilke, Jaspers, Heidegger, Freud, and Toynbee—all of whom, in Kaufmann's mind, have something to do (pro or con) with the evolving Aristotelian-Nie-tzschean ideal of the "great-souled" or "superior" man. According to Kaufmann, this ideal was anticipated in the writings of the greatest Greek philosophers, forgotten by the medievals, recovered and deepened by Shakespeare, provided with an exemplary life in the person and writings of Goethe, systematically misrepresented by the early Romantics and by such essentially Romantic existentialists as Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Jaspers, apotheosized by Nietzsche, provided with a certificate of good health by Freud, and, most recently, obfuscated and falsified in the grand manner by Toynbee. The fundamental traducer of this ideal (which also emerges in the 19th century as the ideal of the "good European") is not Nazism or Communism, but Christianity, which Kaufmann holds responsible not only for the major counter-ideals of otherworldly faith, hope, and charity, but also for proposing a "warped and tendentious view of the present age" and a gargantuan "falsification" of cultural history.
The opening chapter, "Shakespeare: Between Socrates and Existentialism," sets the tone of the book. Kaufmann approaches Shakespeare primarily as a metaphysician and moralist, but the "truth" which he professes to find in that great "pagan" is rather casually extracted from individual sonnets and speeches. He is, for example, much enamored of the 94th sonnet, which he considers a celebration of the hopeless, faithless, this-worldly individuals "Who, moving others, are themselves as stone, / Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow. . . ." He cites such plays as Timon to demonstrate "Shakespeare's acid contempt for men and women," and links this with Aristotle's "great-souled man," who is "justified in despising other people—his estimates are correct." According to Kaufmann, "Shakespeare, like the Greeks before him and Nietzsche after him, believed neither in progress nor in original sin; he believed that most men merited contempt and that a very few were head and shoulders above the rest of mankind and that these few, more often than not, meet with 'base infection' and do not herald progress." The prerogative of these few, he says, is tragedy. The tragic world view, we are told, "involves an ethic of character, not, like the Gospels, an ethic of otherworldly prudence." "The tragic hero has no reward." "The tragic view knows, as Christianity does not, genuine self-sacrifice."
Kaufmann holds, with Aristotle, that only heroes are capable of tragic action and suffering. Yet tragedy, in Shakespeare as well as in much modern literature, is an inclusive concept which can embrace not only kings and princes, but also the lives of fools, courtiers, confidants, and innocent bystanders who "merely swell a scene or two." Shakespeare, as many have pointed out, could put himself in the place of almost any human being. He can as powerfully represent the faith that there is a "special providence in the fall of a sparrow" (with its unmistakeable allusion to Matthew 10:29) as Macbeth's supposedly "great insight" that "Life's but a . . . tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
It seems to me that the facts of suffering—lost opportunity, defeated hopes, and, generally, wasted good—constitute the stuff of tragedy, rather than the height from which the individual falls, his lordly capacity for contempt, or his lack of prudence. Nor is Christianity notable among the world religions for its celebration of prudence; I associate that virtue with the secular utilitarian ethics of Bentham, Hobbes, and even Aristotle himself. And for that matter, why is it not possible to view the Christ story, like the myth of Prometheus, as tragic? Nothing in Aristotle, at least, precludes the possibility that tragedy should be accompanied by redemption. I fail to see Why the concept of the tragedy of human existence should be the exclusive prerogative of the Nietzscheans. In fact, all this talk of tragedy is fatiguing. What is so wrong with, say, Mill's or Dewey's temperate faith in progress or their generous hopes, not only for themselves, but for the ruck of mankind? "Ripeness" is by no means all, save for those who have only their ripeness to cling to.
The next four essays deal with various aspects of Goethe's work, life, and influence. In Faust, according to Kaufmann, Goethe failed to create a "titan" of Hamlet's heroic stature. Faust's practice of magic "does not serve to elevate him to superhuman stature; the word Ubermensch (superman) is actually used mockingly by the Earth Spirit, whose sight Faust cannot bear." Because Faust is in the end incapable of titanic, tragic action, because he is "merely human," Kaufmann is forced to distinguish the portrait of Faust from the Olympian image of Goethe himself. Goethe is represented in his ripe old age as being, along with Hegel and Nietzsche, the great opponent of romanticism. His life and art are made to stand as permanent rebukes to those sick romantic souls who turned their backs upon the Enlightenment and sought spiritual peace and intellectual stability in medievalism.
When Kaufmann comes to another of his anti-romantic heroes, Hegel, he represents him as a writer whose intellectual life was virtually split in two. The early Hegel, whose anti-romantic opposition to Christianity and its fruits was blemished only by an unaccountable anti-Semitism, is presented for our approval as an admirer of Goethe, and as an exponent of the ancient pagans who "are our models today in all that is great, beautiful, noble, and free." The mature Hegel, on the other hand, wasted his time as a philosopher of history trying to find "the epitome of reason in his Christian heritage and . . . his own philosophy implicit in the ancient dogmas."
Laudably, Mr. Kaufmann has added his bit toward the restoration of Hegel's reputation as a "good European," rebuking those critics, like Karl Popper, who find in his writings merely a paradigm of irrationalism and totalitarianism. Though not an original commentator on the "Hegel myth," Kaufmann makes a fair case of showing that even Hegel's mature ethical and social philosophy is by no means an uncritical defense of statism, militarism, or racism. Hegel is not, of course, an individualist, but neither does he hold that the state, even in his own idealistic sense of the term, has any right simply to dictate what men are to believe or do. And if foe sometimes sentimentalizes the state in his attempt to view it as the historical embodiment of an underlying spiritual goal, this weakness may serve to offset the countervailing error of those English and American political philosophers who view the state as completely unspiritual, a necessary evil at best, and who regard the arts of government and politics, in Santayana's phrase, as "servile arts," unworthy of the efforts of talented and civilized men.
On this level, Kaufmann undoubtedly helps set the record straight. But when it comes to the more technical aspects of Hegel's philosophy, he is given to sweeping critical judgments which involve him in contradictions. Consider, for instance, the celebrated Hegelian dialectic. Kaufmann tells us that "The triad of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis is encountered in Kant, Fichte, and Schelling but mentioned only once in the twenty volumes of Hegel's works." This stunning point of fact serves to distract us from more exigent questions concerning the real nature and merit, if any, of the Hegelian dialectic or logic. On these questions, Kaufmann has little more to say than that ". . . Hegel's contribution consists in his transformation of Fichte's and Schelling's arid dialectic into a logic of passion (of. Chapter 8, section 16)—a stroke of genius, though the transformation was unfortunately only half accomplished by him and was not completed by any of his successors." When we turn to Chapter 8, section 16, what we find is not a detailed explication of Hegel's alleged stroke of genius, but six short paragraphs that inform us, in a summary of Hegel's opinions concerning Christianity, that "Instead of achieving a crowning synthesis, he unwittingly illustrated his own dialectic by overreacting against the views of his youth, and by going to the opposite extreme." In the next chapter, we are startled to find that one of Hegel's great faults is "the pseudo-precision of his dialectic." Hegel's "imposing deductions are not compelling," says Kaufmann, for "Hegel failed to distinguish between giving some reasons for a development and demonstrating its necessity." Kaufmann never explains Hegel's "stroke of genius" and why or how he improved upon the allegedly arid dialectics of his predecessors. His vindication of Hegel against Popper includes no reply to Popper's important criticisms of the incompetence of Hegel's discussions of natural science and its methods. From Kaufmann's standpoint, what matters is that Hegel "always remained the heir of the Enlightenment, opposed to romanticisms and theology alike, insofar as he maintained until the end that there is one pursuit that is far superior to art and religion: philosophy."
And so it goes. As one continues, page after tendentious, score-keeping page, through the endless defenses of Nietzsche and Freud and the attacks on Kierkegaard, the German existentialists, and Toynbee, it becomes increasingly clear that what Kaufmann has really given us is a kind of anti-morality play whose pagan heroes are crucified by a horde of Christian-romantic pharisees. While I agree with some of his appraisals of Kierkegaard, Jaspers, and Heidegger, his eleventh chapter, "How Nietzsche Revolutionized Ethics," seems to me slight and unconvincing, and his chapter on Freud misses much of the complexity of Freud's views concerning ethics and religion. Did Freud unambiguously oppose all traditional moral codes and precepts? And did he unambiguously celebrate the virtues of the "healthy" un-neurotic soul? I do not myself believe that he did.
In his "Dialogue with a Critic," Kaufmann's Author concludes by saying, "Being right matters less than making people think for themselves. And there is no better way of doing that than being provocative." Well, in a way, Kaufmann has succeeded, for he has made me see how little I aspire to be, on his terms, an enlightened, "healthy soul" who views moral codes as mere "symptoms of imperfect health and self-deception." Although I myself have been known to admire some of the ideals which Mr. Kaufmann advocates, or at least the abstract nouns which he uses in referring to them, his advocacy has served rather to chill than to warm my heart toward them. And although I have been, within certain well-defined limits, an admirer of the writings of Nietzsche, Freud, and even Hegel, his presentation of their virtues has tended, if anything, to diminish my regard for and even my interest in them. How much more attractive is the plain-spoken urbanity, the perhaps uninspired but livable utilitarianism, and the unobtrusive good will and veracity of the British Empiricists, Locke, Hume, and Mill, to the fire-eating, chest-thumping doubletalk and egoism of their 19th-and 20th-century German opponents. I share Kaufmann's admiration for the great tragedians, ancient and modern; yet his unfeeling disdain for lost souls who hope without hope and have faith in what they themselves admit to be "absurd," makes me see how easy it is to pass by degrees from a noble and tragic philosophy to a Goethean and Nietzschean hardheartedness which I, at least, find repellent. All unwittingly, Kaufmann has taught me to understand the courage and wisdom of those exponents of the lost generation who openly pitied themselves, and he has made me see that he who has no pity for himself is likely to have no true compassion for others.

HUMAN speech can be recognised by computers almost routinely, as long as the speaker carefully enunciates each word and sticks to simple phrases. Normal conversation poses a much tougher challenge, however, and scientists in the US have now tackled it with a program that responds to the context of the dialogue, as well as to the words it recognises.
A team led by James Allen, a professor of computer science at the University of Rochester in New York state, has programmed a Sun workstation to respond to voice commands telling it to route imaginary trains between various cities in the northeastern US. They have shown that their Trains Project machine can adapt its response to the context of the dialogue, and make sensible replies even when it mishears what someone says.
The system works in three stages. A standard speech recognition program first turns sounds into words, which it ...

If running a music App, such as Pandora, are you still able to utilize the Escort Live App and receive phone calls at the same time?
- Asked by Russ B from Perry
Escort SmartRadar Detector Apple Pack
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Yes, you can run Pandora and Escort Live at the same time. Escort Live is constantly using cellular data so your iPhone's service provider will determine if you can use data and voice phone calls at the same time. If your provider does not support simultaneous voice and data then you will receive phone calls with Escort Live running but you will not receive any data while on the phone call.
- Answered by Larry C
Much depends on your carrier and the bandwidth available. In my case, I can run Live! with Pandora and receive phone calls at the same time, but some services don't permit simultaneous phone calls with carrier-provided internet service. If your service provider permits simultaneous data usage and voice usage, you should be good to go.
That said, even with carriers who do provide this simultaneous service, the speed of carrier-provided Internet will make the streaming from Pandora jumpy. The better the speed, the better the streaming.
The Live app actually uses very little data in your data plan, compared with doing live streaming with services like Pandora.

Typeface: Classic Typography for Contemporary Design (2009)
Here's a book that I've got a piece in (I'm told the cover of Broken Lines. Thanks, Adam!). I signed release papers for it way back in 2008 and I guess it was released in July 2009 under a different name, but no one told me, and by then I'd completely forgotten about it anyway. A Note To Publishers: It seems to me that notifying contributors that a book they've contributed to has been published would be a great way to get some word-of-mouth marketing. Another handy idea: Free contributor copies. They're worth it!
UPDATE: I just was perusin' at Barnes and Noble and discovered that not only is the book still available, it's still a whopping $45, and I have four pieces in it. So Wooo-hooo to that. The work included is the cover of Broken Lines, my Stereolab poster, my Mission Of Burma poster, and my CD cover design for Ricky Lee Robinson's Secret Love Tricks. The book also contains some nice work from strawberryluna and Jason Munn of The Small Stakes, among many others.

But since we bought this house and I built these bookcases, the To-Be-Read section has grown to take up an entire shelf (plus a little more). I just really haven't been reading as much as I used to. I wish I could blame the internet or something, but that dog don't hunt. I've just been going to sleep faster. Continue reading
Rewriting Huckleberry Finn: Some Random Thoughts
Yesterday, as I read online comments about a news item that a publisher plans on removing The Enn Word from Mark Twain classics, a few thoughts occurred to me (some vaguely devil's advocate-y): Continue reading
MEME: Authors Who Have Had The Most Influence On You
The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) who've influenced you and will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag at least fifteen friends, including me, because I'm interested in seeing what authors my friends choose. (To do this, go to your Notes tab on your profile page, paste rules in a new note, cast your fifteen picks, and tag people in the note.) Continue reading

Eric "Fly" Stevens
Born and raised in Mid-Michigan, Eric "Fly" Stevens got his start in radio by working overnights at a couple of Lansing stations beginning in 1998. He moved to RKR in 2004 by first doing weekends, then mid days, and now afternoons, 3pm-8pm. This year he celebrates 10 years in Kalamazoo.

It didn't slip through your grasp, it's still the first guy under the mask.
Wait, what? Who?
I've been rooting for Iaquinta from the start. War Iaq!
I've only been twice, Wrestlemania tour in 05 and Survivor series tour in 06. Both in Cardiff, Wales. Saw some great matches both years.
The best-
Cena vs Triple H (06)
MNM vs Rey Mysterio and...
Not funny on it's own, but your sig makes it amusing.
Anthony "rumble" Johnson
Big lad, fair play.
Ouch, a Hangman's fracture. He is lucky to be alive.
Would never ever happen. Mark Henry would lose all of his credibility if he gets taken down by someone who lost to Santino a couple of weeks ago.
Not everyone can speak English. I had a Religious Studies teacher that didn't speak English a while back.
But yeah, Mason can speak English but his accent can be hard to understand
I've heard the Matt Striker one in a few places btw...
All I know is that they had a tiny article on WWE.com just after he died.
EDIT- Here's the article-
WWE would like to express its deepest condolences to Mr. Fatu's family, friends and fans on...
there's such thing as lingerie football?
Did you see the S4C documentary about him?
They'll probably make Air boom drop the titles on Smackdown.
I'd like to see him accidently cost ADR the title, ADR to snap and attack him. They would have a "squash match" on Raw but RR would win with a roll up. ADR would go after him the next week but Cena...
I'd like to see a Ricardo face turn and have a mini-feud with ADR.
Either Barrett, Rhodes or A-Ry IMO
Mason should be a good face, only concern is that he's another Zeke Jackson or any other big chap. Hopefully he'll be a future big star.
Drew McIntyre has been killed in the last few months which...
Ouch. I guess that they could use it to further the disfigured gimmick but if anyone but Orton or super Cena did that they would be de-pushed quicker than you can say John Laurinitis
Aj's better in the ring but Cena's better on the mic.
The USA did well to score a try but I'm busy licking my wounds after Wales lost.
At this years olympics games there shall be a new event. First competitor to get arrested for DWI wins. Angle vs Helms vs Riley vs M.Hardy vs J.Hardy.
Drew McIntyre and Trent Barreta.
I agree with Dude573. Drew should stop with the chosen one and go for it now. It's a travesty that Drew wasn't in the MITB match.
Trent is just class. He...
The Basham's were alright. If I could put one team on the list back in the WWE right now t'would be them.
Gyminni wern't used properly, they should've had a gimmick like the Bella's... doing...
1. Royal Rumble match.
2. Trent Barreta and The Uso's vs Slater, Gabriel and Tyson Kidd.
3. CM Punk vs John Cena
4. SD MITB match
5. Triple H vs The Undertaker
Sorry, I misread it :)

El Aaiun — A barbaric Attack by Moroccan occupation forces on a peaceful demonstration organized Saturday by a group of Saharawi citizens in Smara's Street, occupied city of El Aaiun, to celebrate the visit of RFK Centre delegation, leaving a number of injured including the former political prisoner Sukeina Jadahlu, a media source told SPS.
The source said that the Saharawi citizens were chanting some national slogan, before dispersed by Moroccan police moments before the arrival of the delegation of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights to place of the demonstration.
The former Saharawi political prisoner and president of Sahrawi Women Forum Sukeina Jadahlu was heinously attacked, where she was beaten and kicked without mercy and compassion. In addition, the Saharawi activist Teslem Dawdi is suffering of fractures, added the source.
The U.S. human rights delegation visited place of the demonstration, and thus what embarrassed Moroccan authorities.
Immediately after the delegation left place of the attacks, the Moroccan police dispersed by force the Saharawi demonstrators, the source indicated.
Following the announcement of the delegation visit, Moroccan authorities worked in various ways to mislead the delegation and prevent the Saharawis from pouring into the streets.
The arrival of RFK Centre delegation to El Aaiun's airport on Friday night was surrounded by a tight security and media blackout. Also the Saharawi districts known for their demonstrations like Boucraa, Matalaa and Smara Street witnessed a massive deployment of repression forces, police, general queries and intelligence agents in civil clothes, reported eyewitnesses.

There are 65 ministers in the Modi Government
Patna: Land possession certificate (LPC) with details of ownership will be available online soon, enabling the people to go for cross-checks about the history of the property before striking a land deal.
The Revenue Department is piloting the project as part of the computerisation of land records and will launch the facility in 10 districts by June end. It will be extended to other 28 districts by September.
The districts selected in the first phase include Patna, Nalanda, Buxar, West Champaran, East Champaran, Vaishali, Nawada, and Bhojpur.
That apart, people will also be able to download maps carrying details of the location of their land and adjoining areas.
Revenue officials said the easy availability of LPC through the net would prove to be a safeguard for lakh of people who often fall victims to land-related fraud due to lack of information about the ownership of land.
"There are umpteen cases where brokers or middlemen have duped their customers by selling one piece of land to three or four different people. Such instances can be checked if people verify the land records by procuring the LPC," a senior Revenue officer said.

Abs and Carbs
written by sean hyson
I think you should stop doing crunches, situps, and just about any other exercise that makes your lower back bend forward (spinal flexion).
Hold on, hold on, it's not MY theory…
Take it up with Alwyn Cosgrove. That's the main lesson of his book, The New Rules of Lifting for Abs. I was e-mailing with Mike Robertson today, and he just designed several workouts for an upcoming issue of Muscle&Fitness that were totally devoid of spinal flexion exercises. Eric Cressey and Jon Hinds are in the same camp.
The revelation to drop the classic situp from the core training arsenal owes a lot to Stuart McGill, a leading expert on back pain, whose research shows that crunching motions can lead to disc herniations in the lumbar spine. In fact, there have been reports that 52% of the U.S. population walks around with at least some bulging disc problem and may not even know it. While their prevalence is probably the result of sitting for long periods, rather than doing too many crunches, more spine-flexing exercise can't be expected to make things better.
So how are you supposed to train abs? Stabilization exercises. You should be familiar with the yoga plank and side plank, but those two are just the beginning. Any exercise where you brace your core and try to avoid movement at the lumbar spine is a healthy, useful ab exercise. This can include rollout/push away exercises, single limb training, and off-set loading—all of which are covered thoroughly in Alwyn's excellent book.
If you're training your abs to prevent or treat lower-back pain, don't do exercises that encourage it. If you're training your abs just to see them, look at your diet first.
On a personal note, I love hanging leg raises, and I've always felt they worked abs like nothing else, so I'm leaving them in. I think if you're pretty active and don't currently have back pain—and you balance flexion exercises with extension (such as a rep of hypers for every rep of situps)—you'll probably be ok. But we should all err on the side of safety and minimize our spinal flexion work. This is one training "fad" that I don't think is going to go out of style.
Here's another one that won't. Eat your carbs at night.
As is often the case, conventional wisdom here is the complete opposite of the truth. The idea has been around a long time that because your muscles are more sensitive to insulin in the morning, you should eat the bulk of your daily carbs then. The problem is that your fat cells are more sensitive too. Eating carbs in the morning will cause more of them to be stored as fat than if you waited til 4 o'clock in the afternoon or later, when insulin sensitivity declines. This is the premise behind Kiefer's Carb Back-Loading philosophy, and many other similar diets out there like the Modified Warrior Diet and The Renegade Diet. When you weight train later in the day, you allow your muscles to soak up more of the carbs than your fat cells.
Here's how your day should go:
Wake up, skip breakfast. Drink some coffee if you like.
Around noon, or a few hours after you get up, start eating protein and fat foods. Veggies are ok too. Just about any fat is fine—a greasy burger, eggs with bacon, pepperoni and cheese. Knock yourself out.
Train in the afternoon, then eat some carbs. Higher-glycemic ones like bread, pasta, and potatoes are best, and Kiefer will even tell you that you can get away with ice cream and french fries.
Keep eating high-carb right until you go to bed.
I've tried this simple method, and I've turned a bunch of other people onto it as well. IT'S THE BEST THING WE'VE EVER DONE. Gone is the banal meal planning and excruciating discipline associated with the normal "fitness" diet. You can eat your favorite foods year-round without paying the price.
If you have to train in the morning (and I usually do), eat some carbs after your workout and then follow the schedule as I wrote. It still works great.
It's nice when the truth coincides with what we want to hear. I promise you that in this case it does.

Seneca wrote this consolation for a woman he knew named Marcia, who actively mourned the death of her son for over three years. He attempted to convince her that the fate of her son, while tragic, should not have been a surprise. She knew many other mothers who had lost their sons; why should she expect her own son to survive her? The acknowledgement, even expecation, of the worst of all possible outcomes is a tenet of Seneca's Stoic philosophy. While Seneca sympathised with Marcia, he reminded her that "we are born into a world of things which are all destined to die," and that if she could accept that no one is guaranteed a just life (that is, one in which sons always outlive their mothers), she could finally end her mourning and live the rest of her life in peace.
Seneca contrasted two models of maternal grieving: that of Octavia Minor, sister of Augustus, who, on losing her only son Marcellus in his twenties, "set no bounds to her tears and moans"; with that of Livia, wife of Augustus, who on losing her son Drusus "as soon as she had placed him in the tomb, along with her son she laid away her sorrow, and grieved no more than was respectful to Caesar or fair Tiberius, seeing that they were alive."

The city's Municipal and Archaeological Museum's collection is notable for its Roman relics, including a major glass collection, and Romanesque sculpture. It's housed in a heavily rebuilt version of what was once Castello Visconteo, erected in 1300 as a stronghold of the dukes of Milan. Soon after, it was virtually destroyed by the invading Swiss Confederates.

Smart grid islands could be solution to critical disturbances
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have devised a strategy to use local distributed electricity generation, distribution automation, and smart meters to form small electricity "islands" that would support critical social services in the event of a substantial disruption.
The researchers contend that rethinking the solution to sustaining electric power during extreme disturbances and starting small could keep critical services going, even when the high-voltage grid is crippled.
Distributed generation (DG), which collects and distributes electricity from many small energy sources rather than relying on large centralized power facilities, could be the solution whereby electricity circuits would be manually or automatically rerouted to form isolated energy islands powered by local DG units.
To achieve a smart grid DG system, utility companies need to install smart meters that can efficiently disconnect non-critical loads, add automated components to reroute electricity circuits, and upgrade fault-handling equipment and control software to ensure the smaller grid's reliability.
This sounds like a viable solution to a very real, very critical problem. However, getting there may not be so simple.
"There are currently a few obstacles to implementing such a strategy, including state laws that prevent the deployment of cost-effective combined heat and power (CHP) 'microgrids,' and the lack of incentive for power companies to invest in such a system," said Carnegie Mellon University researcher Anu Narayanan. "We have the technology to make our critical services less vulnerable to large blackouts. What we need now are the right policy initiatives to make it happen."

Teri D.
I don't know of any outside company you can order from, but if you send him money he should be able to purchase one through the commissary. Look towards the top of this page for the procedure on sending money to inmates at Scotland CI.
How do I call an inmate or setup so an inmate can call me from Scotland Correctional? Any help would really be appreciated. Also does anyone know what visitations are like? What can I bring? are there vending machines? Behind Glass? Sorry for all the questions

A day after American commandos carried out raids in two African countries aimed at capturing fugitive terrorist suspects,Libyas interim government on Sunday demanded an explanation from Washington for what it called the kidnapping of a Libyan suspect.
On Saturday,American troops assisted by FBI and CIA agents seized Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqai,known by his nom de guerre,Abu Anas al-Liby,a suspected leader of al-Qaeda,on the streets of Tripoli,Libya,while a Navy SEAL team raided the seaside villa of a militant leader in a predawn firefight on the coast of Somalia.
Abu Anas was indicted in 2000 for his role in the 1998 bombings of the United States Embassies in Konya and Tanzania and had a $5 million bounty on his head.
Officials said the timing of the two raids was coincidental. But occurring on the same day,they underscored the rise of northern Africa as a haven for international terrorists. Libya has collapsed into the control of a patchwork of militias since the ouster of the Gaddafi government in 2011. Somalia,the birthplace of the Shabab,has lacked an effective central government for more than two decades.
Abu Anas,the Libyan Qaeda leader,was considered a major prize,and officials said he was alive in American custody. While the details about his capture were sketchy,an American official said on Saturday night that it appeared he had been taken peacefully and that he was no longer in Libya.
His capture was the latest blow to what remains of the original Qaeda organisation after a 12-year American campaign to capture or kill its leadership,including the killing two years ago of its founder,Osama bin Laden,in Pakistan.
But on Sunday,Libyas government called for more information regarding the American operation. As soon as it heard the reports,the Libyan government contacted the United States authorities to demand an explanation for the kidnapping of a Libyan citizen, the government said in a statement.
The demand appeared to contradict the statements of American officials on Saturday that the Libyan government had played some role in the seizure of Abu Anas. By noon,calls had begun for street protests against the raid or against the interim government for allowing it.
A Pentagon spokesman,George Little,defended the raid. These actions are a clear sign that the United States is committed to using all the tools at our disposal to bring to justice those who commit terrorist acts against Americans, he said.
Despite his presence in Libya,Abu Anas was not believed to have played any role in the attack on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi,senior officials briefed on that investigation have said,but he may have sought to build networks connecting what remains of the Qaeda organisation to like-minded militants in Libya.
His brother Nabih told The Associated Press that just after dawn prayers on Saturday,three vehicles full of armed men approached Abu Anass home and surrounded him as he parked his car. The men smashed his window,seized his gun and sped away with him,Nabih said.
Abu Anas,49,was born in Tripoli and joined Qaeda as early as the early 1990s,when it was based in Sudan.
The operation to capture Abu Anas was several weeks in …continued »

Become a CBN partner and receive The Transforming Word: Verses for Health & Healing, our special DVD/CD gift to you.
CBN Partners are making a difference sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Find out how.
CBN.com -Gordon Robertson was appointed Chief Executive Officer of The Christian Broadcasting Network on November 30, 2007. Prior to becoming CEO, Gordon was named the Executive Producer of The 700 Club in 2001 and a member of CBN's board of directors in 2002.
The son of Pat and Dede Robertson, Gordon was born in New York City on June 4, 1958. He grew up in Portsmouth, Virginia, as God expanded the ministry of CBN. After graduating from Yale University in 1980, Gordon earned his Juris Doctor degree from Washington and Lee University. For the next 10 years, he practiced law in Norfolk, Virginia.
Then, during a short-term mission trip to India, the Lord opened Gordon's heart to the plight of millions of unreached souls. Sensing God's call to win the lost to Christ, Gordon resigned from his law firm and moved to the Philippines with his family. He joined CBN in July 1994 and founded CBN Asia, Inc., with the goal of replicating all the facets of CBN's ministry in a culturally relevant context. This included producing The 700 Club Asia, an indigenous TV program featuring testimonies and prayer for salvation; establishing a local prayer counseling center; launching the humanitarian organization, Operation Blessing Philippines; and creating a training organization, the Asian Center for Missions. With local Christians involved at all levels of ministry, this groundbreaking combination of outreaches is transforming lives in very effective ways.
After training leaders and facilitating the development of similar CBN centers in India, Indonesia, Thailand, Hong Kong and Beijing, Gordon relocated to the United States in April 1999. He now co-hosts CBN's original flagship program, The 700 Club, along with The 700 Club Interactive, which airs on ABC Family and online. Gordon is also producing CBN's new Superbook series, which utilizes state-of-the-art animation to share the truth of God's Word while teaching children how to grow in Christ. He is actively involved in all aspects of programming for CBN's ministry in both television and the Internet, and is dedicated to maximizing the potential of new technologies to spread the Gospel worldwide.
Gordon and his wife, Katharyn, reside in Virginia with their three children.
A caring friend will be there to pray with you in your time of need.

IF YOU'RE ever overtaken by a car with its steering wheel completely detached from the dashboard, don't panic. It might just be one of the prizewinning inventions at this year's Ideas Olympics undergoing a road test.
The competition, which the car company Toyota runs for employees, specialises in producing wacky variations on the motor vehicle. This year's innovations were no disappointment. The 65 000 employees came up with more than 5000 entries. As usual, the most spectacular entries were the new vehicles, which showed an extravagance of impracticality not usually associated with the Japanese motor industry.
This year's top award went to the Tetra, which runs on three ball-shaped wheels, each driven by an independent motor. The advantage, the inventing team said, was its ability to 'move in all directions quickly'.
Exotic control systems provided a fertile field for innovation. One team demonstrated a car controlled entirely by the voice ...

I still think it will be Brock vs Taker at WM , takers last match. They will start to build it raw after EC, they will leave it open for Punk vs Brock too, or Punk Vs Taker to cover there backs.
If punk loses at EC, he will start blaming Heyman for costing him his title , Heyman tells punk wouldnt of been champ so long if it wasnt for him , Punk saying he held the title for so long beacuse Hes the Best in the World, and he dosnt need Heyman he never did, and fires Heyman, they will fall out but nothing major, just Punk telling Heyman to stay out of his way this will go on for a few weeks.
HHH or Steph maybe even VM himself returns on RAW telling Heyman they have unfinished buisness and try to fire Heyman and Brock, but Vikki signed Brock to a new contract and that contract includes Heyman, so theres nothing they can do,so Vikki will be fired instead all this building to WM, Contract for the Company Match. Heyman n Brock are fired if they lose, if theMcmahon family lose Heyman gets control of the WWE.
Heyman will wind Vince up making him agree to the match while hes full of rage with the typical VM YOUUURRR ONNNN !!! line
Over the following weeks leading to WM Steph , HHH will say to VM what are you doing , VM says i know you can beat him this time, HHH vs Brock 2, but HHH will be taken out weeks B4 prob by the Sheild, leaving Vince to find someone else to fight Brock. Heyman will be on RAW saying looks like the company will soon be his because nobodie can beat "Brock Lesnar - Baddest Man On The Planet", Vince says Ive got a Bad Ass of My Own , the American Bad Ass Takers Music Hits, and he rolls out on his bike.
Prob Takers last match, and he will more than likley be inducted into the Hall of Fame this year too

It's no secret that the last 30 years have seen a brutal corporate assault on U.S. workers. Incomes and union membership rates have plummeted, unemployment is soaring, and the two corporate parties have joined forces to go after our previously untouchable historic gains.
This class war has largely been one-sided—but not entirely. The organization Jobs with Justice, for one, demonstrates that the workers' movement is still lively, innovative, and capable of resistance.
A well-organized, tantalizing, and frequently inspiring new collection of interviews and essays, Jobs with Justice: 25 Years, 25 Voices, traces the group's history and points toward what could be a promising future.
JwJ is an ongoing national coalition with 40 chapters where, in the words of co-founder Stewart Acuff, "community leaders and leaders of faith can sit down as equals with labor leaders and plan campaigns and plan initiatives."
It has created a space where union members can count on activists focused on community issues to support their workplace struggles—and vice versa.
'I'll Be There'
JwJ's "I'll Be There" pledge encapsulates this commitment. "Those who signed the 'I'll Be There' pledge card realized that if we were there five times a year for someone else's fight, we might start winning," according to Communications Workers President Larry Cohen, a co-founder of JwJ and national board member.
While the pledge could be reduced to "I'll show up at your event if you show up at mine," victories won through collaboration promote a deeper solidarity. Participants begin to realize that no struggle is isolated, and learn the meaning of "An injury to one is an injury to all" from their own experience.
With this model, JwJ is able to stretch the boundaries of what union leaders are usually willing to take on. As Carl Rosen, co-founder of Chicago JwJ and president of the United Electrical Workers Western Region, wrote:

Stabbings at Target: A homeless man stabbed and slashed several people at a Pittsburgh Target before he was held down and arrested.
A 41-year-old man who ran into a Pittsburgh Target store late on Monday and slashed two men and stabbed a 16-year-old girl was charged with attempted murder, reports said.
Leon Raymond Walls, who was described as homeless by several local media outlets, was arrested after several men confronted him and tried to hold him down.
A police complaint said Walls used the teenage girl, who was in critical condition, "as a shield," reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
"You come close, I'll stab her," he reportedly said. He then stabbed her in the back with a kitchen knife.
When officers arrived, they doused Walls with a pepper spray-like substance and hit him with a Tazer.
Walls was apparently being chased before he went into the Target. A fourth person is said to have been slashed before the man entered the target, police said. After the slashing, the man apparently tried to disappear in a crowd of people before he entered the store, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
According to WTAE television, several men followed Walls into the bathroom when he first entered the Target, but he then chased them out with a knife, police said.
"I took a peek at the top of the steps, and the guy was chasing the dude around with a long, long knife. It was a long, long knife. He was chasing him around through the aisles," a witness told the station.
Another witness described the chaos that ensued.
"After he grabbed the (16-year-old) he was screaming, 'They tried to rob me. They have my wallet.' It looked like he was holding her hostage. He seen the men coming after him with a bat and he grabbed the woman. They were trying to get him," witness Dominique Gomez told the Review.
He added: "One man was stabbed in the mouth. Another was stabbed in the finger. I think the man who was stabbed in the mouth was one of those (who) came up here looking for him."
WTAE quoted another witness as saying that he used a baseball bat to get Walls on the ground.
"That little girl, he just kept stabbing her. I just couldn't stand there and watch that," he said. "It was crazy in there. That was horrible. That was something you don't want to see again, ever."
Silverdale Baptist Academy in Chattanooga, Tenn., posted a message on Facebook saying the 16-year-old girl was Allison Meadows, who had surgery for arm wounds and her back. The school said she suffered from a collapsed lung.

Frontline's report is a great example of in-depth television news reporting. It had many of the important components needed for a television news story. The program may not have represented my generation of college students as much as it could have, but the content provided did present an accurate account of college students.
Even though the report had many good components, it did have some weaknesses. The program contained a lot of fluff and few news values. The news values it did have (impact, proximity, conflict and emotions) were weak.
Despite the lack of "hard news" in the program, it had many strengths. The program provided information from many different points of including M.I.T. students, South Korean gamers, the U.S. military as well as teachers who strongly opposed or supported the use of technology in the class room. It also had some credible sources like Professor Clifford Nass at Stanford University.
The program's most prominent strength was its emotional appeal. Unlike most journalism, a crucial component of TV journalism is its emotional appeal. There are many instances in which Douglas Rushkoff brings his feelings and experiences to the program. There is a section of the program dedicated to the relationships created online in the virtual world. Producer Rachel Dretzin states her personal concerns for her children using technology as well and films them in her home.
I wouldn't recognize this program as a representation of my generation of college students. Most of it reflected anything but college students. There was a lot of information about the education system for children ranging from age 5 to 18 as well as their lives outside of school. People as young as their mid 20s and older were also represented on how their personal lives as well as their careers are affected by technology. I would argue there was even more of a representation of college-aged adults that may or may not have been college students.
Even though the program didn't provide much representation of college students, the representation provided was fairly accurate. Most college students are extreme multi-taskers. They use technology in almost every aspect of their life. They have to. They have too much to do. Greg Bukata, former Senior at Chatham High School, said "If there were 27 hours in a day I would read Hamlet, I really would, but there is only 24."
In-Depth Report Covering a Variety of Age Groups
1 Comment
I agree that this is a good piece of journalism. They do a very good job appealing to people on an emotional level. It also provided good information about the subject and went into depth in all the right places. I also think it provided a good representation of our generation.
I disagree about the hard hitting news only because this piece is not really meant to be hard hitting news. It's not front page and isn't supposed to be. I also disagree that it doesn't represent college students. A lot of the program focused on the MIT students and therefore a lot of college aged people that were students.

IF, LIKE me, you have fond memories of Camille Saint-Saëns's The Carnival of the Animals, which celebrated animals in a series of musical portraits, this CD is for you.
When composer Edward Williams recorded the soundtrack for the 1979 BBC documentary series Life on Earth, he pressed fewer than 100 copies. Years later, record producer Jonny Trunk, on hearing of a copy discovered in a London charity shop, set out to track one down. When he finally found one, he was smitten.
The new album, the first time the music has been issued, is a gem. In the atmospheric orchestral music - classical with electronic touches - Williams vividly captures a vast variety of life. My favourites include the Erik Satie-inspired Gymnopodie for Jellyfish, the surprisingly beautiful Arabesque for Flatworms and the playful Duck-billed Platypus Swimming.
