A roundup of new products and services
What's a well-wisher to do? Throwing rice at a bridal couple is considered bad for the birds who'll eat it up later, and birdseed is considered messy. Not to worry. The Associated Network Inc. of Lancaster, N.Y., has a new way to send off the bride and groom -- with wedding bells. Gold jingle bells are attached to a card that explains (in a poem) their use. Place the bell/cards in a pretty basket or other receptacle and have each guest take one set as he exits the reception or ceremony. When the couple takes off for their honeymoon, the crowd jingles the bells. The bells can also be used as a reception favor and rung to entreat the newlyweds to kiss. "Ring a Wish" bell/cards are available in a 75-count carton, which retails for $45 to $49, or in a white wicker, 75-count basket draped in tulle, which retails for $55 to $65. Call (716) 681-6483 for the retailer nearest you.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - January 7, 1976):
Completed in 1846, this domed Greek Revival structure was built as the third Territorial capitol and served as the first permanent capitol for the State. When the legislature moved to Des Moines in 1857, the building became the first permanent building of the University of Iowa.
There is no threat to the NHL at this time.
A single handrail was added to East steps of the building. This is not original to the building, but was added for better accessibility to the building.

Revenge's Emily VanCamp Has Baby Fever, Admits to Dreams of Children
In the wake of Amanda Clarke's death, baby Carl David's godmother Emily Thorne is about to hesitantly step up to the plate on Revenge. But her real-life counterpart, actress Emily VanCamp is more than ready to take on the role of mother.
In a new interview with Canada's Fashion magazine, Emily admits to desperately wanting a child (or twelve).
"I have moments when I get baby fever and I think, 'Why don't I have a dozen of these now?" she said. "I've always had a maternal sense, and have dreamt about having children more than getting married and having the perfect wedding."
We wonder how current co-star boyfriend Josh Bowman feels about that. But Ems is currently the lead on one of TV's top dramas, so chances are, she won't be sporting a baby bump anytime soon.
"The show certainly keeps me up all night and teaches me what it feels like to have sleep deprivation," she continued. "So in that sense, Revenge is my baby."
With Emily's killer body, blonde locks, and ability to pull off a flawless Croc Look, we think this Canadian beauty would produce a beautiful baby.
Do you think Ems is ready to be a mother or should she stick to her Revenge schedule? Tell us below!

As a renter, and a cheap one at that, I don't typically spend a lot of money on furniture and other household stuff. When I look around my house, I mostly see garage sale finds, hand-me-downs, and knickknacks I got on super clearance. In fact, the slipcover in my living room is actually worth more than the 10-year-old beat up couch it's protecting. It didn't seem to me I really owned anything worth protecting, so I went without renters insurance for years.
8 Issues with Buying Rental Property and Becoming a Landlord
By Angela Colley
Do you dream of owning property? Perhaps multiple investment properties from which to earn a monthly stream of income? Ah, the life…
But before you contact your real estate agent, consider what's really involved. If you want to create an income immediately, you'll need to rent your property. Though the proposition may sound simple, it is anything but. The information that follows details the downsides to property management.
It's not meant to dissuade you from moving forward, but instead to show you that there are downsides as well as advantages to buying and managing rental property. Don't let the potential to earn money cloud your vision when considering whether or not you're cut out for it.
15 Ways to Reuse Coffee Grounds at Home
By Angela Colley
I'm a coffee junkie. I make at least half a pot of coffee every morning, and if I'm having a particularly stressful day, I make a second pot in the afternoon. A few months ago, I started thinking about how much coffee I drink, and how the grounds end up in the trash. I don't like waste, so I started looking for some alternatives.
First, I tried the obvious solution, cutting back on my coffee intake. That lasted about two days before I realized that I need coffee to function. Then my friend suggested mixing my used grounds with new ones to make a new pot of coffee. While I take pride in being a cheapskate, I draw the line at drinking bitter-tasting brown water.
How to Sell Stuff on Craigslist Successfully – 5 Craigslist Selling Tips
By Angela Colley
Recently, while unpacking after a move, I came to a not-so-startling revelation: I had a lot of things that I did not really need. I still had boxes that I never unpacked from my previous move, which was two years ago. Now, I know I have a habit of keeping things for too long and taking frugal living too far, especially when it comes to electronics. I always think I may suddenly need them (or have the ability to fix them) one day. Two years of unpacked boxes, however, is borderline hoarding.
Which Bills to Pay Off First When Money Runs Tight
By Angela Colley
We all want to pay our bills. After all, most people don't get a great feeling watching debts accumulate. But things happen unexpectedly and suddenly, and sometimes you can't make payments for everything on time.
A few years ago, I moved to New Orleans, and the move seemed to spark a series of unfortunate events. During the first week, I blew a tire. I received two traffic tickets. Then I dropped my cell phone off of a balcony, sending it to electronics heaven. I had very little money left after the move, but I had enough saved to get the car working again, and to replace the cell phone.
Credit Unions vs. Banks – Differences, Pros & Cons
By Angela Colley
At a time when banks are making record profits and customers are paying higher fees, many people are seeking financial institutions that will help them save money. One such institution could be your local credit union.
Credit unions offer numerous financial products that help people maximize their incomes and increase their savings, often with fewer or lower fees than traditional banks. But these institutions also have disadvantages which may make them unappealing to some banking customers.
What Is a Credit Union?
Credit unions are similar to traditional banks in the sense that both institutions offer financial products to customers. Credit union members, like bank customers, have access to checking and savings accounts, CDs, loan products, and credit cards.
How to Apply for Section 8 Housing Assistance – Eligibility & Application
By Angela Colley
Rent is expensive. Even the smallest studio apartment can take up a huge portion of your monthly income. If you need more bedrooms, a larger kitchen, or just want to live in a nicer area, then your monthly rent payment can quickly become the majority of your income.
For those with low income, decent rentals are often unaffordable, and many families find themselves struggling to pay for even a small unit in a bad part of town.
With the Section 8 low income housing assistance program, low-income renters can get the housing they need at a price they can comfortably afford.
What Is Section 8? – Low Income Housing Assistance
By Angela Colley
For some families, finding decent, safe, and affordable housing presents a challenge. Since most areas of the United States do not have rent control laws, affording private rentals in good areas can seem like an unreachable goal for some renters. As a result, many families live in high crime areas or in substandard housing.
To combat this, the U.S. government developed the Section 8 program, which helps low-income families, the elderly, and the disabled afford the cost of living, and provides incentives to landlords willing to work with local housing authorities.
How to Become a Section 8 Housing Landlord – Requirements, Pros & Cons
By Angela Colley
Most landlords don't think highly of the Section 8 housing program. Over the years, I've heard dozens of myths about it. Landlords see it as a hassle; they think the housing authority will breathe down their neck, or they believe they'll get awful tenants.
The truth of the matter is that the Section 8 program can work wonders for some landlords. The housing authority is not that difficult to work with, the properties rent faster, and the tenants are not much different from others. However, with that said, how well it will work for you largely depends on how you run your business.
5 Best Personal Finance Apps for the Android and iPhone
By Angela Colley
You can do just about anything with a smartphone. There are apps to help you manage your ever-growing digital music collection, travel apps to find the best deals on the go, apps to find the best gas prices, and even apps to ward off zombies.
You can also manage your money directly from your smartphone. There are dozens of personal finance apps available for Android and the iPhone that let you do everything from making a budget to filing your taxes.
Since some financial apps simply aren't worth the download, here's a short list of my top five.
5 Best Online Tech Deals Sites to Save Money on Discount Electronics
By Angela Colley
I'll admit it: I love gadgets. I'm especially drawn to smartphones, tablet PCs, and plenty of other devices that a frugal person would easily call "non-essential." In the past, my love affair with technology blindsided me into paying high retail prices far too often.
I finally got my reality check one weekend, when my dog chewed up my charger in the middle of the night. I woke up in urgent need of a new laptop charger. Desperate to get online, but with no juice in my computer battery, I headed to Best Buy and purchased the only charger set they offered. It cost $87.
How to Screen Potential Tenants – Questions, Credit & Background Check
By Angela Colley
With a good tenant, you can sleep easy at night as a landlord knowing the rent will get paid and the property will stay relatively undamaged. With a bad tenant, on the other hand, you're left to wonder about the state of your investment while fielding calls from angry neighbors.
The problem is that any prospective tenant can act like the best tenant in the world during the initial walk-through. But if you want to make sure you're getting the best renter, it's important to screen every prospective tenant thoroughly before allowing them to sign a lease.
Advantages & Disadvantages of All Inclusive Cruise Vacations
By Angela Colley
There is nothing like a cruise. You can spend all day touring an island, laying on the beach, or swimming with stingrays. At night, you can eat four-star cuisine, take in a show, or dance with your spouse or partner.
Growing up, my mother had a thing for cruise vacations, and I've taken quite a few in my life. They're a lot of fun for singles, couples, or families. From the moment the ship leaves the harbor, until you dock again, you'll have constant entertainment, all the food you can eat, and endless sights to see. Chances are, you won't want to leave when the ship docks again.
What Is Etsy (Review) – Save Money Buying Handmade Jewelry & Crafts
By Angela Colley
Are you looking for a vintage bag? Or maybe a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork to go above your mantel?
Look no further than Etsy, an online Internet marketplace where thousands of artists, designers, and crafters market their wares. It's my go-to website for contemporary fine art, crafts, jewelry, and accessories because with so many retailers in one spot, you're sure to find what you're looking for. Best of all, since Etsy works with small businesses and regular folk, you can find cheap deals on one-of-a-kind items.
Is Veterinary Pet Insurance for Dogs Worth It? – Comparison & Costs
By Angela Colley
I recently took my dog to a new veterinarian. As I was leaving, the vet handed me a sheet listing the costs of all of his services. While the wellness exam, heartworm medication, and vaccinations all seemed more than fair, my heart stopped beating for a second when I got to the bottom of the list – surgery, x-rays, MRIs, and chronic treatments all cost more than I could comfortably pay out-of-pocket. The vet must have noticed my horror because he threw in a pamphlet on pet insurance when I was leaving.

With fewer reporters and shrinking budgets, most American news outlets simply no longer have the resources available to assign a team of reporters to pursue in-depth investigations that may take months, or even years, to complete. WGBH is committed to providing journalists with the time and resources required to delve deeply into complex subjects and develop the stories that enliven and enrich public dialogue, spark national conversations on important issues, and spur change and reform across a wide variety of topics and issues.
"In the face of all the competition for attention in today's media environment, there has to be a place that says, 'We can take on difficult, tough subjects and do them intelligently and thoughtfully.' If we give up on the idea of doing these films–—of sending smart people out to pursue important ideas at some length and with some degree of complexity–—then we give up on the idea of this medium being the best of what it can be. We give up on the audience; we give up on the promise of television that matters."

RUTLAND, Vt. - Union members from UE Local 332 in Fort Edward, N.Y. will picket the appearance by General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt's visit in Rutland, Vt. Wednesday.
A press release says the workers are fighting GE's announced plan to close the Fort Edward plant by September 2014. The company plans to move all the work to Clearwater, Florida.
"Closing our plant will hurt 200 families of GE employees and many more families in our country," said Local 332 President Scott Gates. "It will have a devastating effect on small businesses in our area, costing many more people their jobs, reducing local services, harming a lot of people."
A press release says if GE closes the Fort Edward plant, it will cost 178 hourly production workers and 20 salaried employees.
Immelt is scheduled to speak at Rutland's Paramount Theater at 5 p.m. Union leaders say they will begin their protest in front of the theater at 4:30 p.m.

Jack Howard: In Pursuit of Coriolanus
This time last year, Jack Howard was delighted to be chosen for the C/O Berlin Close Up! project giving up-and-coming photographers access to the 61st Berlin International Film Festival. Being the only Brit selected, he was determined to document Coriolanus and its reception in his adopted homeland, but his requests to get into their events were turned down. So, instead, he made a witty series subverting all the glitz and glamour, and recording his struggles to get any glimpse of the stars. A reminder as we enter the media maelstrom of awards season that things are not always that straightforward.

Irish moss, or carrageen moss (Irish: carraigín, "little rock"), is a species of seaweed which grows abundantly along the rocky parts of the Atlantic coast of Europe and the Americas as well as parts in the Pacific. In its fresh condition the plant is soft and cartilaginous, varying in color from a greenish-yellow, through red, to a dark purple or purplish-brown. The principal constituent of Irish moss is a mucilaginous body, made of the polysaccharide Carragenan of which it contains about 55%; the plant also has nearly 10% of protein and about 15% minerals, specifically rich in iodine and sulfur. Because of the abundant cell wall polysaccharides it will form a jelly when boiled or processed with water expanding from 20 to 100 times of its weight.

Some 6,000 recently-trained youths will receive assistance this month.
Over 700 associations made up of 6,000 youths recently-trained by the National Civic Service Agency for Participation in Development (NCSAPD) throughout the country will, as from this month of January 2013, start receiving assistance for income-generating projects. The assistance is estimated at over FCFA 600 million.
The pronouncement was made to the press on Saturday, 29 December, 2012 by NCSAPD's Director General, Ayuketah Oswarld Tambe at the institution's head office in Yaounde. "We gave them opportunities to prepare land and sites where they are going to carry out income-generating activities and in January, we will give them the assistance that the Head of State promised the young people," he explained. Ayuketah Oswarld Tambe was speaking at the end of a field visit to encourage over 300 members of the National Youth Council carrying out human investment activities in certain localities of the Yaounde 5 and 6 councils, respectively.
Accompanied by the President of the National Youth Council (NYC), Abdoulaye Abdoulrazak and officials, Ayuketah Oswarld Tambe joined youths working in the Centre for the Elderly called Bethanie Viacam in the Nkolmesseng neighbourhood. There, the delegation discussed with some of the 13 aged people, joined in the preparation of their daily meal, cleaned surrounding bushes and handed bags of rice and toilet rolls, among others, to the Centre's Manager, Reverend Sister Marie Joseph. Later at the Essos Market and Mvog-Betsi neighbourhoods, Ayuketah Oswarld Tambe encouraged hundreds of youths who picked recyclable plastic bags and bottles along major streets. This was in a bid to protect the environment and help accomplish NCSAPD's mission to carry out activities of general interest.

No. It is not trivial to convert either. Pregap was written in Unix bourne shell, whilst Pregap4 is Tcl/Tk.
Preferably run it on the gel along with the other samples. If this is not possible, then simply designate any other sample as the wild type and compare against that.
It is also possible to get Gap4 to produce a consensus trace. This requires using Pregap4 twice. Firstly process the sequences through Pregap4 will all the appropriate options except with the mutation detection module disabled. Assemble these sequences into Gap4. Within Gap4, for each contig start up the Contig Editor and select Save Consensus Trace from the command menu. This will produce a trace which is the average of the traces in that contig. Then delete the Gap4 database and reprocess the sequences using Pregap4, this time using mutation detection to compare against the consensus trace.
The next step is to assemble (if not already done) and edit the sequences using Gap4. See section Introduction to Gap4.

AkzoNobel's income up on lower financing costs
6:42 AM MDT | April 25, 2014
AkzoNobel registered €129 million ($178 million) in net income attributable to shareholders in the first quarter, up 45% year-on-year (YOY) mainly because of lower financing expenses. The result also reflects a positive volume and price-mix development in each of the company's three business segments, AkzoNobel says. Ebitda fell 3%, to €364 million, during the first quarter from €375 million in the same period last year. Revenue also dropped 2% YOY, to €3.38 billion, from €3.47 billion in the first quarter of 2013. The decrease was mainly due to a 5%...

"Prosperity," wrote stoic philosopher Seneca, "fosters bad tempers." This helps explain why Egyptians have such good ones. Humor has always served as a transformative outlet for sorrows and frustrations, and laughter as the balancing pole of Egypt's psychological high-wire act. But heaviness has lately crept into the nation's psyche. There's nothing funny about street clashes, soccer riots, body counts and cynical political maneuvering; or about the fact that Egypt's dourest citizens have risen so loudly to the fore.
I attended a Cairo costume party in the 1990s, where friends dressed as "terrorists" in Salafist garb, and a male Copt came in a niqab, parodying cultural phenomenon that seemed ludicrously alien at the time but are now familiar, and dead serious. To the hyper-pious, displays of merriment are unseemly – an entirely un-Egyptian sentiment that is nonetheless gaining ground. "Those Salafists," someone told me, "when they have to laugh, they go around the corner."
Watching the recent video clip of Salafist parliamentarian Mamduh Ismail launching into a call to prayer while the People's Assembly (dominated by religious party representatives) sat in session, one was torn between tears and hilarity. Many of the men seated near the impromptu muezzin restrained smiles, eyes sparkling with amusement, as the speaker of the house issued reprimands and the paunchy zealot prattled unconcernedly on.
The incident reminded me of the time I saw a man, known in my downtown Cairo neighborhood as a deranged but harmless vagrant, lying on a curb fondling himself through his galabiyya, oblivious to his surroundings. In the eyes of passers-by darting glances at the man in flagrante I saw the same glint of forbidden glee as in those of the parliamentarians while Ismail called them to prayer. "This guy is clearly wacko," the look said, "but don't expect me to do anything about it."
In another Egypt, Ismail would have been laughed out of parliament, or escorted gently from the chamber, as befits someone dotty and infirm. But these days, however many eyebrows such religious exhibitionism may raise, the public looks on transfixed.
Ismail's performance is unlikely to bring the issue of parliamentary piety and how it directly interferes with intelligent discourse to the fore. Listening to the People's Assembly swearing-in ceremony last month, I wished I had a guinea for every time a parliamentarian evoked Allah's name. It would have made a tidy sum to return to taxpayers for enduring this uninspired, conformist spectacle.
If that wasn't enough, comedian Adel Imam, tutelary deity of the Egyptian belly-laugh, was recently sentenced to three months in jail for "defaming Islam" in his portrayals of Muslim characters. This not only reflected the fanatical vitriol of Islamist lawyer Asran Mansour who filed the charges, but the priorities of a judiciary that would allow such a case to be tried, when its august attentions might have better been turned in a thousand more urgent directions.
For half a century, Imam's films lampooned societal idiosyncrasies with the self-knowledge that always illumined Egyptian humor, but has somehow vanished into thin air. His "The Sleeper in the Honey" tackled the taboo obsession with virility: a mysterious epidemic hits Cairo rendering the male population impotent. From "Terrorism and Kebab," satirizing homegrown terrorism (a citizen obliged to obtain a mundane bureaucratic permission ends up having to take hostages to secure it), to "Embassy in the Building" (about living beside the Israeli embassy), Imam never shied away from piquant topics, nor were his films considered offensive by a vast, enthusiastic audience.
Whenever I want the latest jokes, I call a lawyer friend who moonlights as a tabla player and hears every bon mot that makes the rounds. Egyptians jokes are typically fresh, topical. When locusts invaded Cairo a few years back, Al-Azhar's sheikh declared eating them was halal and they immediately acquired the sobriquet "the poor man's shrimp" (shrimp is considered an aphrodisiac). When Hosni Mubarak ran for president in 2005, my friend told me that God had advised the 77-year-old to wish his countrymen farewell. "Really?" asked Hosni, "Where are they going?"
Following the railway catastrophe of 2002, when several hundred people died trapped inside a burning train, my friend asked whether I'd heard about the man buying a third class ticket to Upper Egypt. "Fried or grilled?" the ticket-seller asks. Yes, this was in terrifically poor taste, but it answered the need to make light of something too heavy to bear; to break as it were, the anger, grief and disgust into smaller, more digestible pieces.
In the year since Mubarak's ouster, Egypt has witnessed more than its share of tragedies and travesties of justice – plenty of grist for the humor mill. However, when I called my lawyer friend last week he said, "Sorry, no jokes today."
In the present ambiance I, an American, could be accused of sedition for recalling the words of Moshe Dayan, the former Israeli defense minister, but here it goes: "I would not fear the Egyptians even if they possessed nuclear weapons," he said. "But I will begin to feel very nervous if they stop making jokes about themselves and about others."

Britches, 'Yee harghs!', and slapping your thigh while spitting into a spittoon, are well starred this month as Neptune makes your spitting aim more accurate than ever in history.
Folk singing in plain brown, or brown plaid old jumpers, possibly with faux leather arm patches, a medium unkempt beard, doing pitch exercises with your voice before putting you hand to you ear to start singing, and a glass of cider more than three quarters finished, are all spectacularly well starred this month especially after 8pm on Tuesdays and every other Thursday starting from the 14th.

Samsung Huron for Verizon to be called ATIV SE
Samsung Huron for Verizon has been confirmed via the GFXBenchmark's database and @evleaks tweets. Huron is supposed to be a Windows Phone 8.1 running device headed to Verizon this spring.
According to the latest info, courtesy once again of the notorious @evleaks, Samsung codenamed Huron will be called ATIV SE. Since Verizon is already offering the first ATIV, we guess the SE might be short for Second Edition.
Anyway, Samsung ATIV SE is rumored to pack either a 4.3" 720p or a 5" 1080p display. It should be running on a quad-core Snapdragon processor with 2GB RAM and a 13MP camera.
As the latest rumor has it the ATIV SE will come with the latest available Windows Phone 8.1 OS. This means it will most probably launch in April or later, after the Microsoft's BUILD conference where the WP 8.1 is going to premiere.

Over the years, the face takes a beating, leaving sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. Laser skin resurfacing is used to remove the layers of the skin which have been damaged, exposing underlying skin leaving a smooth and fresh appearance. Most commonly, laser surgery is used to remove fine lines around the mouth and eyes. Patients with uneven pigmentation also benefit from laser surgery. Laser surgery is also commonly done in conjunction with a facelift or eyelid surgery.
We can erase ugly brown spots on your face, hands, arms, or chest with our Cynosure Elite laser. The laser emits gentle pulses of energy that target directly the pigment in these brown spots, destroying them. Most brown spots will go away with only one or two treatment sessions. After each session you may have a scab while the treated skin is healing. The treatment will have only minimal discomfort, similar to the sensation of a small rubber band slapping against the skin. Prior to the treatment, we will evaluate your skin type.
We can remove benign brown spots, redness, freckles, improve texture, and smooth fine wrinkles on the face with our Cynosure Elite laser facial. We usually recommend several (3-6) treatment sessions, each 15-20 minutes long, one month apart. After each treatment in our Sandy, Utah office, you will be able to return to normal activity immediately, other than we recommend sunscreen or sun avoidance. The laser emits gentle pulses of energy that target the red and brown spots, and stimulates collagen production for smoothing out fine wrinkles. The overlying skin is not injured.
We offer treatment of benign vascular lesions with the Candela Vbeam laser. Some examples of cosmetic skin problems that can be improved with this laser are the redness and telangiectasias associated with rosacea, pink or red scars, port wine stains, angiomas, redness of neck from sun damage (poikiloderma of Civatte), and small leg veins that did not resolve with sclerotherapy. In addition, we may recommend this laser treatment for stubborn hand and foot warts.

VATICAN-SEMINARIES Jan-25-2013 (580 words) xxxi
Pope reassigns responsibility for seminaries, religious instruction
By Francis X. Rocca
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- In an administrative move reaffirming his efforts to promote a Catholic revival in the West and greater adherence to traditional church teaching, Pope Benedict XVI has reassigned responsibility among Vatican offices for the religious education of laypeople and future priests.
According to two papal decrees released by the Vatican Jan. 25, responsibility for seminaries has shifted from the Congregation for Catholic Education to the Congregation for Clergy, and responsibility for catechesis has moved from the latter office to the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelization.
The pope announced the changes in October, during the world Synod of Bishops on the new evangelization, but did not sign the decrees putting them into effect until Jan. 16.
Under the new regime, Pope Benedict wrote, the Congregation for Clergy is now in charge of the "promotion and governance of all that pertains to the formation, life and ministry of priests and deacons."
Emphasizing the need to link the preparation of seminarians with their lifelong education after ordination, the pope quoted a warning from Blessed John Paul II that any "discontinuity or even difference between these two formative phases would lead immediately to grave consequences for pastoral activity and the fraternal communion among priests, particularly those of different ages."
Cardinal Mauro Piacenza, prefect of the Congregation for Clergy, told the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, that his office is well-suited to supervising seminaries around the world, since its comprehensive responsibility for the "ministry and life of priests, the knowledge derived from that and the study of emerging problems regarding priests in the world" will serve as an "indispensable compass" for planning the preparation of future clergy.
The cardinal suggested a need for increased rigor in seminary admissions, calling for reinforcement of an "authentic profile of priestly identity" and rejecting what he said was a widespread misunderstanding that a vocation to the priesthood is a subjective choice, rather than a "person's response to an objective call from God, mediated by the church."
The Congregation for Catholic Education, having ceded responsibility for seminaries, will continue to supervise Catholic schools and universities around the world.
However, authority over religious instruction of lay Catholics, including catechisms published by national bishops' conferences and textbooks for religious education used in Catholic schools, now lies with the Pontifical Council for Promoting New Evangelization.
The Vatican spokesman, Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, noted that the council, which was established only in 2010, will now exercise a significant "jurisdictional power" in addition to its former advisory role.
In his decree, Pope Benedict stressed the importance of catechesis for the new evangelization, a project aimed at reviving the faith in traditionally Catholic but increasingly secular societies.
"The particular historical moment we are living, marked among other things by a dramatic crisis of faith," requires learning sufficient to provide believers with answers to new questions, the pope wrote.
Archbishop Rino Fisichella, the council's president, wrote in the Vatican newspaper that the challenges for catechesis today include the pervasiveness of "scientific and technological culture" and widespread "religious illiteracy."
In his decree, the pope wrote that catechesis in the years since the Second Vatican Council has been marked by "grave errors in method and content, which have provoked deep reflection and thus led to the elaboration of some post-conciliar documents that represent new richness in the field of catechesis."
Pope Benedict has often stressed the importance of interpreting the teachings of Vatican II in continuity with the church's millennial traditions, and not as a radical break with the past.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
Ok, so sounds like there's a lot of interest, both in terms of
people sharing what they know, and people who want to learn.
So my suggestion is either:
(a) Do it less informally, at the Social Gathering next month
(Sept. 7th) at Crepeville in Davis
(b) Do it as a regular meeting (somehow; maybe with clever
digital camera -> s-video -> projector use, like I did for
the uClinux presentation recently), which would need to
wait until at least April 2011 (specifically, Monday April 18th)
Alternatively, we could do like (a), but some other month (Oct, Nov, Dec...)
Thanks, all!

FEARS that global warming will kill off the world's coral reefs may be misplaced.
Instead of signalling impending doom, the widespread bleaching of reefs may be a risky gamble by corals to adapt to warmer seas, according to a marine biologist in New York. When the going gets tough, corals ditch their symbiotic algae to find partners better suited to their new surroundings.
Reef-building corals contain single-celled algae that photosynthesise in return for their lodging. But this partnership is precariousif light or temperature change for any length of time, the corals often evict their algae. As the lodgers contain the photosynthetic pigments that give corals their colour, reefs are left bleached.
Events such as El Niño that wash warmer-than-usual water around the oceans can trigger dramatic bleaching. The rising sea surface temperatures predicted during the next century may also produce paler reefs (New Scientist, 4 November 2000, p 24). ...

Revenge's Gabriel Mann Reveals That an Even Sexier, Shirtless Nolan Ross Is Still to Come!
In Sunday night's Revenge Season 2 premiere, everyone was gasping at the return of Victoria Grayson. But our mouths were hanging open for another reason: Nolan Ross pounding out some punches (while shirtless) in the boxing ring.
The Nolster was tired of being the whipping boy and ready to do some beating of his own. "Southpaw" was looking so sexy in the ring that we barely even noticed Emily's return. And the fact that her plans made Nol put on a shirt definitely put Ems on the top of our "To Screw" list.
40-year-old actor Gabriel Mann was feeling the love online as he live-tweeted the episode. He shared his reactions in a recent interview with ScreenSpy:
"I'm so flattered to be thought of in that way," he told the site. "Yes, I have been working out with probably the most amazing trainer in LA and will continue to. And I think the next time Nolan gets his shirt off will be just as much of a surprise. So get ready for a buffer, tougher Nolan!"
We're not sure our poor hearts can take much more excitement! But it looks like a more defined six-pack isn't the only thing Nolan will be revealing in Season 2.
"We're going to find out more about Nolan and the secrets he's kept and what his agenda really is," Gabe said. "I'm finding out as we shoot it, so you really are seeing a very organic progression. Where it will end is probably beyond anything I could have come up with in my mind."
Hmmm, does Mr. Ross have his own revengenda? Color us curious!
What do you think of Nolan's shirtless look: sexy or scrawny? Weigh in below!

Summer can be hard for goths.
They have to deal with sunshine and good vibes all summer long. Let me tell you, sunshine and good vibes are two things that don't go well with goth culture.
Normally I would just feel bad for goths in the summer time. However, while scrolling through pages and pages of free porn on Sex.com, I came across Mellisa Clarke posing on the beach (specifically, the sexy Mellisa Clarke picture at the beginning of this post).
For all intents and purposes, Mellisa Clarke is goth.
Feel free to tell me otherwise in the comments, but the truth is I don't care. I really do not care if she doesn't actually listen to Bauhaus or if she's never seen The Crow or whatever goths are into these days. Melissa Clarke looks sort of goth, which is good enough for me.
Just be happy that I didn't choose Kate Upton for this beach goth Babe of the Day.
Anyways, seeing Mellisa Clarke's sexy beach pic on Sex.com got me thinking…
Why are there no sexy goths hanging at the beach? There's nothing I like better than incongruity and a sexy goth at the beach is full of incongruity.
In general, where are all the sexy goths?
They used to be all over the high school.
I'm making Mellisa Clarke (the sexiest goth of all time) Babe of the Day on the condition that the sexy goths of the world come out of hiding. We love your pale skin, dark hair, and bleak outlook on life and humanity.
For anyone who doubts that goths can be sexy, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Mellisa Clarke, the babe of the day: Continue Reading

New Security Developments, Best Practices, and Important Security Updates
This recent Sunbelt posting shares how malware writers are currently using these products to create malicious ads that can even appear on more popular mainstream sites if the webmasters aren't careful (e.g., Antivirus 2009). I've had training in Dreamweaver and Cold Fusion Studio in the past and we've used Fuse at my prior company. Fuse is a compilation tool and a good product as well.
As Flash is the MOST WIDELY INSTALLED software product possibly in the Internet environment, it is being misused by the bad guys. While Fuse itself is not a malicious product, this highly productive tool allows these malicious authors to compile and create professional looking banner ads. Webmasters need to be viligant and test each sponsored ad for malware, as UNPATCHED versions of Flash can be used to redirect users to hostile sites or download malicious code.
Users need to be careful of banner ads and any encounters of Flash based objects on websites. More importantly, they should ensure they are on the latest available version.
Unintended consequences and Fuse Kit http://sunbeltblog.blogspot.com/2008/08/unintended-consequences-and-fuse-kit.html
QUOTE: Fuse Kit is a cool utility to create animations in Flash. Unfortunately, it's popular with malware distributors, who are using it to create malicious advertisements. These malicious advertisements get served on sites — even mainstream sites.
They push malware. (Just to make sure there's no confusion, this is not a drive-by exploit. Typically the user will see a fake "system scan" message that "Your system is infected!". If the user actually believes it and clicks "OK", and then downloads and installs the "security software", the infection will occur. However, it's not to lighten the effect — it's very devious social engineering.)
More from Sandi Hardmieir, who has been doing just about the best job of tracking these:
I am seeing reports of the malicious redirects remaining dormant for a week before visitors to victim web sites are hijacked and redirected to fraudware sites. Web sites simply *must* increase their due diligence checks with any new advertiser. It is going to take time, and it is going to cost money, but what alternative do web sites have if they want to protect and keep their readership, and if they want to avoid the inevitable end result of malvertizing, which is that more and more of visitors to their sites are going to block all advertising.

The Senate Committee Chairman on Information, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, has said that the National Assembly had passed the 2013 Appropriation Act last month and that it was in the custody of the president.
Speaking to journalists yesterday in Abuja, Abaribe said "the Senate has passed the 2013 budget, any other thing that is going on now is the normal course of the bureaucracy involved and I don't think that there would be any problem with that.
"The important thing to note is that the 2013 budget was on passed on December 20 by a concurrence of both Houses and the passage also by both Houses of the National Assembly and that officially is the passage of the budget by the Parliament."
On whether it has been passed to the executive, he said ,"I will have to assume that such has been done because after you have passed the budget, what is left is simply mechanical; you get a clean copy and then you send it. I am assuming that it must have been passed (to him)."
Reacting to questions over the delay in the passage, he doused fears that the budget would suffer late implementation.
"I do not think that it is late," he said. "This is January 14 and whenever the assent is done this January, the budget can start to operate.
"I would want us not to focus on this question of whether there is some lag. I do not think that such lag is significant for it to mean that the operation of the budget will not start from January. We worked assiduously to be able to deliver to Nigerians what we promised to do, in line also with what the President, when he delivered a budget address in the National Assembly, said - that it was time for us to keep to schedule. We have kept to our own schedule and I think that Nigerians will not find us lagging in any way with regards to that."
He further noted that the Senate would not entertain the late arrival of budgets to the National Assembly anymore.
"There are few agencies of government which, over time, their budget has come late," he noted. I know that NDDC is one but if you also recollect, we passed a resolution on the floor of the Senate that we will no longer entertain government agencies of that nature, their budgets coming very late and we asked NDDC to also submit its 2013 budget, which has been done and for which we know that consideration must be efficaciously done so that every government agency will work along the same time frame like the federal budget. That is our intention and I don't know of any other agency whose budget is late because we have NDDC, NCC and FCT budget."
On delay in signing SEC's budget he said "Your guess is as good as mine. I think that there are some codicils that have been added to that and if in the opinion of House of Representatives, something needs to be done and urgently done; we can only advise and urge the President to take a very good look at the position of the House of Representatives. Beyond that, we also feel in the Senate that anybody that works for Mr. President should as much as possible, not put Mr. President at loggerheads with the Parliament, it doesn't happen and I think that that is the position that should be taken by anybody who loves this country. I don't think there is any individual that is far more important to the country than the rest of us. The Parliament - the House of Representatives and the Senate are the representatives of the people and whenever they collectively take a position, we assume that such position is in the best interest of the country. We have never taken a position here that was not in the best interest of the country and I think that that should lay to rest, that matter."
He also urged the Federal Government and the Lagos State government to sort out the grey areas in the Lagos State government loan issue adding that when the loan request gets to Senate it will be treated on its merit.
"For any proposition to pass through the Nigerian legislature, it has to have the concurrence of both houses and if the Lagos State government had come to made a presentation to the House of Reps and subsequently to the Senate and the Senate will take it, then, it will be taken at the Plenary and we will look at it as the case may be. But I dare say as Abaribe representing Abia South that everybody who is in this Parliament is representing one constituency or the other and the constituency that is called Lagos cannot be said to equate to Nigeria. So, if anybody says that if Lagos does not get a loan, then, Nigeria will suffer an economic crisis, that is stretching matters too much. What we say is 'make your case and if it is as good as everybody will see it, then, there would be no reason for the Parliament not to assist and grant whatever requests that are made. But if you have a problem within the executive because this is a problem between the state and federal executive, then, both must come to make their cases to us to see whether we will approve or not but I will not want this matter to seen as Nigeria breaking up matter. I don't think it has reached that stage."

If you passed the shopping center at 51st Street and Broadway this afternoon, you might have wondered what the protest was all about. Retired teacher and OEA activist Jack Gerson tells us in the below account: Continue Reading
Month: January 2011
The Oakland school district's think tank
Along one wall at the Oakland Educational Center at Tilden is a series of questions that begin with: "How do you know if a school is _?" (Choose your adjective: effective, supportive, healthy, safe)
Sticky notes underneath contain the answers, at least of those who took part in the exercise.
The last time I visited Tilden, located in the East Oakland foothills near Mills College, it was a school for general education and special education students. Before that, it was the site of John Swett Elementary. Now it houses grown-ups — school district employees and trainees who are trying to improve Oakland's public schools. I don't know exactly how many people work out of there now, but the leadership, curriculum, instruction, charter school and new teacher support offices moved in, along with the new division called Quality Schools Development.
Denise Saddler, a longtime district administrator, describes it as a think tank.
Oakland's School Options deadline is here
Today's PSA: If you've been shopping for public elementary, middle and/or high schools in Oakland and want to take part in the first round of school placements, your deadline is 3 p.m. Friday.
You must apply in person at the Family & Community Office, 2111 International Boulevard OR at any OUSD school. (I initially neglected to mention the latter option.)
For more details and contact information, visit OUSD's enrollment page here. You can find the forms here.
A grim budget exercise for Oakland principals
We reported today that Gov. Jerry Brown wants to fund K-12 education at current levels next year — as long as voters approve a measure in a June special election (date TBD) to extend some existing taxes for another five years.
It was a relief to many in the state's public schools, given the predictions of mid-year cuts and drastic reductions for 2011-12. But even if California voters do approve the tax extension and the Legislature does miraculously pass an on-time budget with current K-12 funding levels, school cuts won't be over. Districts will soon find themselves without the one-time federal dollars (first stimulus money, then Education Jobs funds) that have cushioned the system from the full brunt of state funding cuts.
Which brings us to Oakland Unified. Continue Reading
Tough-love parenting
Amy Chua says she won't let her daughters play an instrument other than piano or violin, have "play dates" with friends or be in a school play, let alone watch TV or play video games.
In her Sunday Wall Street Journal essay, the Yale law professor champions the virtues of "Chinese mother"-style parenting, an approach with rigidly high standards and little concern about a child's self-esteem. She says children aren't as fragile as people think; she sees no problem with calling her daughter "fatty" if she's gained weight or "worthless" if she is disrespectful or receives a B on a test.
"Western parents," as she calls them (and she says she knows plenty of Chinese-Americans who fit into that category), worry more about their child's individuality and feelings of self worth than about their success.
Brown's proposal to spare K-12 from cuts
The governor releases his 2011-12 budget proposal today. This is what his office sent out this morning. (If you want to watch the news conference live, info's at the end of the news release):
Governor Brown's Budget Slashes State Spending by $12.5 Billion
Sacramento – Governor Jerry Brown will release a balanced state budget today that slashes spending by $12.5 billion, including an eight to 10 percent cut in take-home pay for most state employees, and proposes a "vast and historic" restructuring of government operations.
A tragic start to the new year
Chris Jones was all set to graduate from East Oakland School of the Arts and study music at Cal State East Bay. He had his graduation day marked on his cell phone calendar — along with a note about how happy he would be, at that moment.
But, as you might have heard, the talented 17-year-old was shot Friday evening outside his house, in front of his mother and two sisters. It was New Year's Eve, and they were heading out to eat. Jones was Oakland's last homicide victim of 2010. His older sister was injured in the shooting. You can read the initial news report here.
This evening, classmates and teachers from his high school are holding a vigil in the family's home. Seventh Avenue Baptist Church (1740 Seventh Ave.) is having a musical celebration in his honor at 6 p.m. Sunday. The memorial service is at 11 a.m. Monday at St. John Missionary Baptist Church, 1909 Market St. in West Oakland.
There will be a story about Chris in Sunday's Tribune.
Quality schools task force, explained (sort of)
I need to make it to one of these meetings. I've heard they're well run, and I need to get a better handle on how the Quality Community Schools Development task force is approaching a topic as broad and multi-faceted as school quality. This OUSD-produced video explainer didn't help me all that much (Eduspeak, to me, sometimes sounds like the adults in the Charlie Brown cartoons), but maybe you'll glean something useful from it.
Who here has participated in the quality schools meetings (or other task forces) thus far? How is it working? What questions are you wrestling with? What have you learned?
Mack's new student blog
Traditional high school journalism may be fading away, but students in an after-school class at McClymonds High School in West Oakland are publishing news, reviews and slices of life in a new blog.
Mack Smack posts tend to be short and sweet — sometimes consisting of a couple of photos and a sentence or two. My favorite one is about 4-year-old Makhiya Jones-Robinson, who cheered on the football team with the Mack squad this fall.
The class is taught by Nadine Joseph, a writing coach for the Oaktown Teen Times, and the blog is edited by Pamela Tapia, a senior. As a new subscriber, I hope they keep it up. I look forward to seeing what they have in store for 2011.
Yee to serve another term as board president
Gary Yee will be president of the Oakland school board for 12 more months. Jody London was elected vice president at the same meeting this week.
In his acceptance speech, Yee said he believed the district should focus on high-quality teaching; safe and healthy schools; ensuring that all students have a "college prep course of study"; and a renewed commitment by the board to govern effectively and broadly, rather than in each member's own interests.

This is a possibility, but the number of "dot" files in
your home directory /home/ja that are affected is
probably fairly controllable. X, KDE, etc. all have
ways to support the kind of functionality you are
trying to achieve.
To summarize, you are looking for a way to run
X (and ?KDE?/?Gnome?/what else?) more than
once on different machines sharing the same
home directory (with configuration, temporary,
etc. files) such that there are no file conflicts
between the different instances. You're looking
for file conflicts only in your home directory.

I think you'll get some good answers here...but perhaps
you have some better ideas to help you google.

Barack Obama asks Jennifer Hudson to sing the National Anthem
Barack Obama has asked "American Idol" contestant and Oscar-winning "Dreamgrls" actress Jennifer Hudson to sing at the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
According to "Access Hollywood," Obama asked Hudson to sing the National Anthem on Thursday night when he formally accepts the party's nomination.
Wow. That's pretty big. It's bound to be a moving moment for everyone there and a huge moment in American history. I'm keeping Kleenex on hand.
Congrats, Jennifer!
On top of this, her debut album, "Jennifer Hudson," comes out Sept. 30.
And her new film, "The Secret Life of Bees," opposite Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys and Dakota Fanning, is in theaters Oct. 17.

Learning Communities
The mission of the First Year Experience Program (FYE) at Sacramento State is to improve the retention and graduation rates of native students, a goal that is directly aligned with the CSU systemwide Graduation Initiative. FYE consists of 1) the First Year Seminar course, University Learning Community course "clusters", and the Academic Learning Collaboratives, interdisciplinary team-taught block scheduled GE course clusters; 2) co-curricular activities embedded in the courses, that are designed to increase student engagement with the campus, community, faculty, and peers; and 3) Peer Mentors who attend courses with first year students, and provide personal, academic, and advising support.
The University Learning Community (LCOM) Program consists of theme based clusters of two or three courses in which a cohort of 25 freshmen concurrently enroll during their first semester at Sacramento State. Some communities have a GE focus while others focus on course clusters targeted toward specific majors such as Nursing, Business, or the sciences. There were 35 learning communities in fall 2012, housed in 22 departments and every college on campus. These course combinations served 1263 freshmen, which was 40% of the entering freshman class.
Of the 60 First Year Seminar sections offered in fall 2012, 48 were paired with at least one other course in a Learning Community, and 12 sections were "stand alone" (i.e. not paired with another course in a learning community). Of the 35 Learning Communities offered in fall 2012, 28 were a first year seminar paired with another course or courses, and 7 learning communities did not contain a first year seminar course (e.g. English 1A and Theater 5). Therefore the total number of freshmen students served in fall 2012 was 1,496, or 47% of the entering freshman class.
Each Learning Community faculty receives the same support as the First Year Seminar faculty to implement co-curricular activities and participate in professional development; each Learning Community also has a Peer Mentor assigned to provide support for students.

AMES, Iowa - Chelsea Poppens and Anna Prins officially closed the book on their Iowa State women's basketball careers Monday. The Seattle Storm selected Poppens 18th overall in the second round of the WNBA draft and Connecticut picked Prins at No. 23.
The duo is the 11th and 12th Cyclones to ever get drafted in the WNBA.
The Storm finished fourth in the Western Conference last year with a 16-18 record and lost in the first round of the playoffs. Poppens averaged 13.4 points per game and hauled in 9.7 boards per game. She leaves Ames with the second most rebounds in program history (1,091) and the third most double-doubles (32).
The Sun boasted a 25-9 record -- tops in the East -- but lost in the conference finals to Indiana. Prins will bring size to Connecticut. The 6-7 center averaged a career best 12.3 points per game last year.

Cheektowaga's William Fichtner appeared in the opening scene of "The Dark Knight" Batman movie with Heath Ledger. He was in "Armageddon" with Bruce Willis, in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith " with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and in "Black Hawk Down" as Delta Force Soldier Jeff Sanderson.
And these days, he looks forward to returning to his Western New York roots.
In town Wednesday to visit his 3 siblings, Fichtner is also working to try and lay the groundwork for an independent film project to be shot around here next year. "I'm at the point in my life where I want to tell stories," he said.
In an interview Wednesday morning with WBEN's John Zach & Susan Rose, Fichtner talked of hard it was to get into the movie business, moving to New York City at age 21 but not landing his first movie role until he turned 36.
"The dream really started when I was 21 years old working at Mulligan's Beach Bar on Sunset Bay," the 1974 Maryvale High School graduate and SUNY Brockport alum says. " I took a bus from there, right out of Buffalo, to New York City and started waiting on tables."
|Even Fichtner's IMDB.com bio, makes prominent mention of his Buffalo pride:
"A small-town guy with a big heart, William Fichtner has been captivating the hearts of Western New Yorkers for decades. Bill was born in 1956 on Long Island, New York, raised in Cheektowaga, and graduated from Maryvale High School in 1974. His first roles were in soap operas such as As the World Turns (1956) and sitcoms like Grace Under Fire (1993). He has also been in films such as Armageddon (1998), Empire Falls (2005), uncredited in Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) as 'The Marriage Counselor' and most recently The Dark Knight (2008). A fan of the Buffalo Sabres, Bill always stays true to his roots."
Currently, Fichtner is about to appear as "Shredder" in the August release of a live action version of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.". He is also appearing as a voice actor in the Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty video games. But his next effort is a more personal project with a upstate New York feel.
"I'm at a place in my life where I want to tell my own story. I co wrote an indie film, and with the help of the Western New York Film Commission with (Executive Director Tim Clark and Rich Wall who works with him, and a lot of support form back here in Buffalo, especially our good Mayor Byron Brown. It is something I'd like to shoot part of up here.
"It was written for the rolling hills of the Finger Lakes, and it's something I want to do . I want to star in it, I want to direct it , and I'm up here right now doing a little work on that, trying to pull the pieces together. We shoot it next year, and hopefully everything will come together and we will do that."

COULD ecstasy's stimulating effects help to counteract the damage cannabis causes to short-term memory?
The idea has been suggested in the past, but the answer is an emphatic no, according to the first study to test the possibility. June Young and her colleagues at the University of New England in New South Wales told a meeting of the Australian Neuroscience Society in Adelaide last week that rats given MDMA, or ecstasy, as well as THC, the main active ingredient of cannabis, scored more than twice as badly on a memory test as rats given THC alone.
