Iraqi Government Starts to Take Shape
Henri Barkey, chair of the international relations department at Lehigh, was quoted in an article about Iraq's agreement on the top government posts, including a Sunni parliamentary speaker, Shiite and Sunni vice presidents, and a Kurdish president. One area of concern is the impact the long weeks of behind-doors negotiations for a leadership has had on the public. "It's taken some of the enthusiasm out," says Barkey, a former State Department Iraq analyst. A government that got out of the blocks quickly and was seen addressing the insurgency and the country's glaring lack of services could have built on the optimism people were feeling for Iraq's new democracy after the Jan. 30 elections, he says. "As it is now, they've expended some of their honeymoon capital."

"Dynamism as the Norm"
Steven Goldman, professor of philosophy at Lehigh, was interviewed on the 1995 book he co-authored, "Agile Competitors and Virtual Organizations." Goldman has been writing about the changing shape of corporations for decades. Since the early 1990s, management gurus have predicted that corporations will go through a tumultuous transformation -- outsourcing all sorts of functions so they can focus on the things they do best.

Online Support Helps Patients with Rare Illness
Researchers from the department of sociology and anthropology at Lehigh monitored messages and users in an e-mail listserv for sufferers of primary biliary cirrhosis, a liver disease affecting around five in every 100,000 people. "The internet provides a highly valued outlet for people who have a rare disease, primary biliary cirrhosis," say the researchers. "It appears to be particularly valuable for those who are newly diagnosed and in need of health information, but it is an important resource for people at all stages of the disease." The peer-to-peer support coupled with readily available medical information made the forum valuable for its users, said the study.

Poker Academy Donates $13,000 of Texas Hold'em Software to Lehigh University for Continued Research and Development of Artificial Intelligence
Poker Academy, a leading software developer of poker products, has donated $13,000 in software to Lehigh University for students in computer science and engineering to use in artificial intelligence (AI) research projects. "Only a few games currently employ adaptive artificial intelligence, which is also called machine learning," said Munoz-Avila, assistant professor of computer science and engineering who has a grant from the Naval Research Laboratory to study game programming. "Most are 'hard-coded' to operate at a fixed level or levels."

Religions of the Silk Road Premodern Patterns of Globalizationby Foltz, Richard
Palgrave Macmillan
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the 2nd edition with a publication date of 5/15/2010.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
Religions of the Silk Road traces the spread of religions and cultures along the trans-Eurasian trade routes over a period of more than two millennia. Indian, Iranian, Semitic, and Mediterranean ideas all followed the same trajectory through Central Asia to China and beyond, picking up additional elements and sometimes being radically transformed along the way. This age-old pattern shows how the transmission of culture and the development of economic networks have always been inextricably linked, laying a precedent for the globalizing trends seen today.

Spinach Soup
Yield: Serves 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped up
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 medium potato, chopped up (about 1 cup)
- 16 oz. frozen spinach
- 4 cups of broth (chicken or veggie)
- ½ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- A dash (or two) of nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp sliced almonds
Heat oil in a large saucepan and add onion, garlic and a pinch of salt. Allow to cook for about five minutes or so or until the veggies are nice and tender.
Stir in potato, spinach, and broth. Turn the heat up to high until you have a boil and then reduce to medium low and allow to simmer for about twenty minutes or until the potato is fork tender.
Allow the soup to cool a bit before spooning it into a blender or food processor. DO NOT blend when it is super hot cause everything will explode and you will be cursing me out.
Pulse soup a few times to get it started and then blend until you have a smooth consistency. Stir in yogurt, nutmeg, salt and pepper and blend one more time.
Give t a taste, adjust your seasonings, and top each bowl with 2 teaspoons of sliced almonds. Enjoy!
Makes 4 servings.

I have all of the ingredients for this fabulous looking soup!
I make green smoothies often and I just bought some frozen spinach to try instead of fresh. I like my smoothies ice cold and I thought the nutritional content of the frozen MIGHT be a little higher due to the daily degradation of the fresh.
I have whole almonds so the challenge will be slicing them hehe … !!
Hi Dani,
How do you know or get the nutritional information for your recipes? Just wondered how accurate they are?
I made this today and it is amazing. Instead of yogurt I stirred in just a tablespoon of cashew cream to the whole batch. This soup is velvety, and tastes rich and decadent even though it isn't. Thank you so much – this will definitely be a go-to recipe for me!!!
This was fabulous! I didn't have a potato, but I didn't miss it. I placed chopped cooked chicken breast in the bottom of the bowl and poured the soup on top making it a complete meal. The almonds really do add so much, and make this dish very special.
I will be making this again soon.

Dozens of hearty souls braved the chilly Thanksgiving weather to take part in the Mosier Turkey Trot on Thursday morning.
Sarah Ferrar of The Dalles won the female side of the 5K in 16 minutes in addition to being the first overall finisher.
The 10K winner was Den Menard, who finished the course in 36 minutes.
On the female side 10K, Hood River's Judith Duffy was the winner, finishing in second place overall behind Menard.
While he may not have finished in first place, Ben Iremonger had an interesting run around the course.
Originally intending to run the 5K, Iremonger missed the turnaround and ended up running the 10K race and finished as the second male to cross the finish line.

As far as I can tell, A7X's budget was slightly smaller on the STST album so we hear them as they are. Loose. Like their playing material too tricky for them. Just listen to the bass drum when it should be in sync with the guitar chugs, or his immense tom fills that dont quite end on the beat.
Dont get me wrong, I have seen them live, and they get most of it right, but as it's been said on previous pages in this thread, most of it is triggered as u can see by the mahoosive rack of samplers, midi processors, etc that sits on his left in the photos.
thats true but he's gotten MUCH better since then. ive watched a few shows lately and he's playing it all like on the albums.

The Fake Funeral of Evo Morales
Violent clashes kill miner in La Paz
New in the Website
Bolivians tend to emphasize the main points of their protests with sticks of dynamite. Since it is done in the open, the explosions seldom cause damage. In fact, Evo Morales achieved power after intimidating the population of La Paz with an ongoing siege. There were no veggies; daily protests transformed the city's main venue into an open mine. Dynamite exploded every day. Out of fear, people voted for him, nobody wanted a civil war.
Yet, sometimes things get out of control. In the recent miners' protests, unionized miners confronted those working directly for the government. Bolivia is a highly unionized country, the typical rhomboid flags of the unions can be seen in every protest. The unions invariably request higher autonomy; this makes sense in a country that still rates as a de facto dictatorship. Laws exist here in the form of "Supreme Decrees" issued by the president. This time the event was touching, the poorest miners—those mining zinc and tin—confronting each other. Lighted dynamite sticks were thrown back and forth between the groups; the police participated in favor of the government miners. Eventually, a stick exploded on Hector Choque, 31, a union miner who got killed on the spot. The picture below shows his destroyed body being taken away by the police. Note how heavily they are armed; this is typical of Bolivia. Eventually, nine other miners were wounded. In the aftermath, both sides promised escalation of the events.
Mock Funeral
Having heard about the violent event, next morning I left the guesthouse very early. I feared that the downtown area would be blocked the entire day by protests, forcing me to waste a workday. Around 7AM, I crossed El Prado, the city's main venue. In front of the Miner's Union building—a low and unimpressive structure—I met an extraordinary sight. It was a mock funeral. Something was wrong with the scene, thus I took a picture as fast as I could. Afterwards, I tried to analyze what was wrong. While attempting to do so a large group of police officers advanced towards the funeral. The area was closed by them. When I returned later, there was no sign of the miners. Since I do not know their names, there is no way to find out if they have survived.
What was obviously wrong, were the symbols used in the funeral. The assassinated—the union formally refers to the event as "assassination"—belonged to the union. Yet, over the empty coffin there was no flag of the union. There wasn't even the name of the miner on a piece of paper. Instead, the coffin was covered by a Bolivian flag; odd choice given the violent circumstances. Six miners guarded the coffin; one of them looked at me; but said nothing. He looked worried. Then, I noticed that his mouth was full with coca-leaves (see his filled up cheek in the close-up picture above). That was odd, unless you know a bit of Bolivian history. Evo Morales was born to a family of miners; early in his life he became a coca-grower ("cocalero" in Spanish). He was appointed leader of the Coca Confederation, a title he keeps even know, while serving as Bolivia's president. In fact, the rise to power of Evo, signaled a shift of power from the miners oligarchy to the coca-growers one. The miners here were mocking Evo Morales; physically chewing the coca-grower to death. A mock funeral was performed in order to show he doesn't represent the miners.
This was awesome enough to justify a new article on the issue. Then, it is also an opportunity to provide some political advice to my jailer. If Evo Morales doesn't step down from power, then he must crush the protests, or wait to be removed violently from power by the people. Either one of these last two will fill the streets of La Paz with Bolivian blood. Meanwhile, everything is receding into fogginess until the next stick of dynamite explodes on the wrong person.

This is a good place for a romantic dinner. Nice atmosphere.
Posted by wardbe on 06/23/2008
This was our 'go-to' place, a pleasant haven after work, where we felt welcome and comfortable. The last time we went, a few weeks ago. we were asked if we had reservations we did not and were put at a small table for 2 even thought the place had a lot of room and there were numerous tables for 4. Subsequently, paired diners entered and were given the larger tables. Were we the 'wrong' kind of customers? There was a snobbery in the atmosphere that we had never encountered, an unwelcoming atmosphere that has since discouraged us from returning. In addition, the steak we ordered was inedible, tough and chewy. Our server was excellent and apologetically gave us a second choice without trouble. At the end of the meal we asked about the seating policy and we were told, slickly and insincerely , by the hostess that this is a 'theater' night and consequently there was a 'great' demand for tables. The restaurant never filled up past 1/2 capacity and we had arrived WELL before theater time. There seems to be a new vibe in the air at Hudson's. It will be a long time before we return if ever and we feel sad and disappointed about a former comfortable space.

I have patronized Hudson Place on and off for about ten years, mostly because it's in the neighborhood. Burgers and pasta okay, salads good, meatloaf total dreck. Heavy on the garlic on many items. Bread indifferent. Cocktails good. However, my latest visit was not good. The risotto was pasty, lumpy and thick, unlike on previous visits, when I've enjoyed it. A burger in our party was, by account of the one who ordered it, hardly edible, and she has gone to HP far longer than I, and had never had a problem with the burgers before. I don't know what the others thought of their meals, because they were guests from out of town and I think they did not want to be picky. Both of them left a lot on their plates. Service was rushed. Even when we entered we had to dispute the table they tried to give us, even though their were plenty of choices. All in all, I think it will be a long time before I see HP again.

I love Hudson Place. I have lived in the area for 13 years, and as long as I have been here so has Hudson place. It's a great spot. Go to the bar and the drinks are well prepared and generous. Stay for dinner, and take in the classic atmosphere and great food. Hudson Place excels in many areas - the soups are fresh and extremely good - a hearty bean soup with Chorizo one day, a delicious and plentiful seafood soup the next. Entrees also do well - order the meatloaf. Spiced well and served with fresh mashed potatoes and perfectly steamed vegetables for a complete plate. Get a pasta and enjoy bountiful and flavorful sauces. I especially recommend the seafood pastas. There's a well priced Lobster Club for lunch. A delicious skirt steak with Chipoltle Cream and crispy fries for dinner. Or maybe giant Equadorian prawns. If that's not your thing, get a pizza. They are delicious. Spa is light - no cheese and light toppings and sauce - or San Genaro for a "kitchen sink" and addictive option. Do I sound like an ad for this place? I hope so - because my message is - EXCELLENT food and atmosphere and extremely reasonable prices. This place has a pleasant adult atmosphere - and as far as I am concerned, is one of my all time favorite NYC dining options. All Hail Hudson Place!!

Hudson Inn looks so welcoming we finally dropped in for dinner the other night. Super wait staff and in contrast to an earlier poster, our 6 year old was treated exceptionally well. Nonetheless, while his plain pasta with very light butter ordered a la carte was cooked to perfection, and my special fish of the day (trout) was fine, the menu could maybe use a little updating. Nothing was really wrong with the food, but there wasn't that much that we were interested in. This seems to be the most upscale restaurant in a sea of twenty-something bars and hang outs. I just wished it had lived up to its image a little better.
Posted by MurrayHill Mom on 02/01/2008
We have been regular customers for years and have always enjoyed good food. Problem is that now that we have a baby we have been told on several occasions we are not welcome. It was even during off/quiet hours. They do not have highchairs and will not allow strollers inside. Let's face it- this place is not fancy enough to be turning families away. Murray Hill is a family oriented neighborhood and we have spread the word to all we know , kids or no kids, to not go to Hudson Place.
Posted by mary on 11/29/2007
I love the salads here- especially the chef salad. I ordered it to be delievered for the 1st time and it was maybe 1/2 the size of the restaurant portion but the same price!

Gov. Dannel Malloy Keynote Speaker at Business Council Luncheon
Wednesday, Jan 23, 2013 at 11:45am-1:30pm
Stamford, CT
$45 member; $55 non-member
In his first two years in office, Governor Malloy first tackled structural deficits in the state budget - primarily state worker post-retirement benefits and the practice of bonding operating expenses.
Governor Malloy in his second year has focused on the areas critical in keeping the state competitive - education, economic growth and infrastructure investment.
During his 'State of the State Address' in early January, the Governor acknowledged the tough choices that had to be made, and the need to make more of them in the weeks and months ahead as the state looks to budget deficit projections of $1 billion.
We invite you to join us to hear Governor Malloy's economic strategy going forward, and to learn more about the challenges to be faced and choices yet to be made.

Army Corps presents navigation options to states
The Army Corps of Engineers will present its preferences for how to manage the Upper Mississippi River for the next 50 years. It's the culmination of 10 years of study and $60 million in planning and research. The Army Corps' navigation study has long been a source of controversy amidst allegations of skewed numbers and bias. Critics say they're gearing up for another long fight.
Edwards tries to catch Kerry in Wisconsin
Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards toured Wisconsin on Wednesday with stops in Janesville, Green Bay and LaCrosse. Edwards, a senator from North Carolina, continues to trail Democratic frontrunner John Kerry.
Nearly 20 years later, the Hormel strike lives on
Almost 20 years after a strike at the Hormel meatpacking plant divided the town of Austin, Minnesota, some parts of the community are still angry. On a hot August day in 1985, more than 1,000 workers filed out of the Hormel plant. Members of Local P-9 were protesting shrinking wages and plant safety problems. Some people involved remember that time like it was yesterday.
Practicing politics at an Iowa caucus
More than 100 people crammed Decorah's City Council chambers Monday night to participate in the Iowa Democratic caucus. For this precinct, in a small northeastern Iowa college town, it was the best-attended caucus in recent memory.
Variety of issues drive Iowans to caucuses
On Monday, Iowa Democrats will meet in close to 2,000 precinct caucuses around the state. Because Iowa gets to go first, some political observers say the views of Iowa residents play a disproportionate role in choosing a candidate for president. But the issues Iowans are concerned about --the war in Iraq, jobs, and education-- are the same ones on the minds of many Minnesotans and other Americans.
Minnesotans help campaign in Iowa
On January 19, Iowans will gather in town halls, schoolrooms and supper clubs to begin the process of selecting a Democratic presidential nominee. Minnesota's caucuses won't be held until March 2, and some Democrats think the nomination could already be decided by then. But that doesn't mean Minnesotans are frozen out of the process. Hundreds have crossed the border to help campaign in Iowa for their favorite candidates.
Depression in the elderly is hard to treat
Mental health researchers are finding that clinical depression is more common in the elderly than once thought. Heart attacks, strokes and bypass surgery can all trigger depression, as can factors like the loss of independence and growing isolation. But diagnosing and treating depression among older adults isn't easy.
Tech downturn means big job losses in Rochester
The manufacturing boom of the 1990s brought thousands of high-paying jobs to communities around the state. But since the recession began in 2001, many of those jobs have disappeared. The technology sector has been one of the hardest hit. Rochester, home to a massive IBM plant and more than four dozen technology companies, lost one-fifth of its manufacturing jobs.
Minnesota soybean farmers remain frustrated with Brazil
This year for the first time Brazil will export more soybeans than the United States. The country's maintained a longstanding ban on genetically modified soybeans. But industry experts say as much as a quarter of Brazil's crop is produced from illegal GMO seed. The situation has caused frustration among American producers.
Cyber democracy and civic discourse
For years political observers have been lamenting the demise of old-style political discourse. The rise of the Internet and online community forums gave some people hope of luring increasingly disconnected public back into the political process.
IBM cancer suit heads to trial in California
The first of what could be hundreds of civil trials involving computer maker IBM begins next week in California. Former employees and relatives of deceased workers filed the suits. They contend that years spent working at IBM resulted in cancer, birth defects, and other ailments. So far suits are pending in at least four states including Minnesota.

Cancer researchers announced a major treatment advance for breast cancer survivors Thursday. They've found an estrogen-blocking drug, which greatly reduces the reoccurrence of breast cancer. Canadian oncologists led the breakthrough study, and a Mayo physician conducted research in the U.S.
From windmills to wind farms
The concept of wind power dates back some 5,000 years to ancient Egypt. Since then humans have used wind to power sailboats, grind grain, pump water, and most recently, generate electricity. Over the past few decades Minnesota has emerged as a national leader in that area. The state has successfully converted from windmills to wind farms.
Minnesota students head to Iowa for school

Scott Draws Large Crowd of Supporters in Bradenton and Sarasota Stops
BRADENTON — "Barack Obama and Charlie Crist have a lot in common; they both think that money grows on trees," Florida Governor Rick Scott told supporters at a campaign stop at Walt's Fish Market in Sarasota on Monday. The governor visited the iconic eatery on South Tamiami Trail, which has served Sarasota since 1918, as part of his Let's Keep Working tour.
Scott told those in attendance that he planned more than a billion dollars in tax cuts over the next two years (see video at bottom of page). Sarasota has been a strong base of support for Scott, both in terms of fundraising and votes. In 2010, the governor bested Alex Sink by 5 percent among Sarasota County voters, a much wider margin than his statewide average.
Earlier Monday, Scott made a stop at VizCO-US Inc, a plumbing products company on Ninth St. W. in Bradenton. In Bradenton, Scott gave the same stump speech to a slightly smaller crowd. Joined by campaigning Republican AG Pam Bondi, Scott recognized local Republican politicians including BOCC members Robin DiSabatino, John Chappie and Larry Bustle, as well as Palmetto Mayor Shirley Groover Bryant.

Air Berlin plans to roll out required navigation performance (RNP) procedures to more airports and aircraft types as it begins to see the performance benefits offered by the technology.
The German carrier has configured around three-quarters of its almost 60-strong Boeing 737 fleet for the satellite-based approach and departure routings, and has been using the RNP authorisation-required (RNP-AR) system for flights to and from Innsbruck, Austria, since earlier this year.
Approval is also being sought to employ the technology - which allows curved precision approaches - at Salzburg airport from January, says Captain Marc Altenscheidt, head of Air Berlin's Boeing fleet. This will facilitate landings on the Alpine hub's runway 33 from the southeast via an S-shaped approach path between mountains of up to 9,850ft (3,000m).
Altenscheidt adds that the airline is also in discussions with Greece's Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority and Spanish air navigation service provider AENA to introduce RNP procedures for island destinations, which can be difficult to reach in marginal weather. Landings in Las Palmas, in Spain's Canary Islands, for example, require visual meteorological conditions for the final approach.
RNP allows an airline to mitigate the risk of delays or diversions, but can also create other benefits, such as lower noise and fuel consumption.
Innsbruck's runway 26 is set up with a localiser and distance measuring equipment (DME) for instrument approaches. Due to mountains peaking around 9,000ft east of the airport - the site sits at an elevation of 1,900ft - the localiser course (254°) is offset from the runway heading (259°), with pilots having to make a 5° right turn around 1.5nm from the runway threshold.
The descent begins at an altitude of 9,500ft around 19nm from the runway, with aircraft following a 3.7° glide profile. While the respective data is stored in the aircraft's flight management system, Altenscheidt says that pilots nevertheless need to actively manage the descent.
The steeper approach necessitates early extension of flaps and landing gear which, in turn, lead to higher noise and fuel consumption as more power is required from the engines.
While visibility needs to be at least 3,700m for such a localiser/DME approach, the cloud base must not be lower than 3,400ft. Decision height is 1,500ft.
If the pilots cannot see the runway at that point - around 3.4nm from the threshold - they have to initiate a missed approach procedure with a 200° left turn and climb out of the valley in the opposite direction.
The alternative RNP procedure, allows an aircraft to follow a more northerly track (246°) along the river Inn valley, whereby aircraft turn onto the runway heading 3.7nm from the threshold. This follows a 3.5° glide path, which allows extending flaps and landing gear closer to the airport.
For a missed approach, pilots can continue flying westbound through the valley and make a 215° left turn at higher altitude, before climbing out of the valley in opposite direction. The cloud ceiling during RNP approaches can be as low as 2,600ft, while visibility is reduced to 2,400m.
For RNP departures, the visibility can be as low as 300m, with no limitation in terms of cloud base. This gives RNP-authorised airlines an advantage over carriers operating under conventional regulations, which require visibility of at least 1,500m and a 3,400ft cloud ceiling.
RNP operations for runway 08, for which there is currently only a visual approach procedure, is being assessed by Austro Control.
Air Berlin has so far equipped only its new 737s with the necessary FMS software module and navigational database, which need to be validated by the regulator for each individual airport. As the airline's Airbus A320s are currently not deployed on routes to Innsbruck and Salzburg, the modification and crew training was not necessary. However, Altenscheidt says that the airline is evaluating the possibility of extending RNP operations to its A320 fleet.

In January 2014 a small Blue Shield team went to Mali for a week-long mission.
The team, made up of ANCBS president Karl von Habsburg and Dr Joris Kila (President of the the International Military Cultural Resources Working Group) were joined by Christo Grozev, and were accompanied in Mali by Siratigui Sogoba from the Musée des Armées, Bamako.
The team visited a number of sites across the country and spent some time in Timbuktu. For some parts of the journey they were provided with a military escort.
The mission aims were to:
• document the current situation of heritage sites;
• assess the impact of post-conflict problems such as illegal digging and illicit traffic;
• provide international solidarity with and support for those in Mali who protected their heritage under extreme difficult conditions;
• encourage the Malian Armed Forces to further efforts to protect cultural property.
As part of the mission the team gave short presentations on cultural property protection for more than 30 officers from different security services in Timbuktu.
The team's report is available here
An illustrated booklet is also in preparation: "Objectif dans Tombouctou" and will be available shortly.
The team were also able to meet with military colleagues, who had attended a workshop on cultural property protection for African armed forces held in Vienna in December 2013.
Blue Shield's president Karl von Habsburg-Lothringen is seen here speaking to officers of Mali's Armed Forces, National Guard and National Police at Timbuktu.

Social media has become part of our daily lives, however it's easy to get caught up in a conversation online and inadvertently post something inappropriate, offensive or potentially damaging. The guidelines below are good ground rules for those new to social media and serve as a reminder to the social media savvy among us.
Be nice. When you're online, treat others the way you'd want them to treat you. Certain topics can lead to inflammatory conversations and negative comments. Don't fan the flames. Keep your comments kind, thoughtful and on topic.
Contribute to the conversation. Make sure your posts add value to a conversation. If it's a thoughtful, intelligent and kindly-worded post, then it's adding value.
Most inside jokes don't belong online. Inside jokes may seem funny to you, but are likely to be misunderstood, or worse, seen as offensive to others.
Private isn't really private. Anything you say online can be shared, often in one click. Just because your account has strict privacy settings doesn't mean everything you post will remain private. Your friends may think your post is funny, brilliant or even concerning, and share it online without asking you first. If you wouldn't say something publicly, don't post it online.
You can't delete it. Think before you post and don't post if you're feeling really emotional about something. There's really no such thing as "delete" on the Internet. So don't let your emotions get the better of you and post something you may regret later.
Respect what others have created. If you didn't record that song, take that picture, write that article or create that video, don't copy it. Share it instead. Linking back to the original artist's song/photo/article/video is the best way to spread your love for what they created while respecting their talent and U.S. Copyright laws.
Keep it confidential. We all have access to various confidential data, documents and conversations. Never share confidential information online.
Keep your personal information personal. Never disclose your home address or phone number, or any other personal information online. Even if it's only meant for a very close friend, remember it's possible that all of their friends can see your post too. If you need to send someone your personal information, do it via a private message.
Resolve disagreements in person. The Internet is not the place to complain about the College, a specific department or say negative things about our students, faculty or staff. If you are having problems with a person or department at the College, talk to them face to face.
Show your Saints Spirit. Feel free to say you're an AQ Saint and show your Saints pride. But make it very clear that you are not an official Aquinas College spokesperson and are not authorized to speak on the College's behalf.
ACORN & The Moose require an AQ login for a reason. If something posted on ACORN or The Moose seems like it'd be good for social media, contact the person who posted it and ask them before posting the information online. They may have already posted it or don't want that information publicly available.
Your AQ ID and ELM information are not for sharing. Your AQ ID number and ELM username and password are the keys to your online life at AQ. Keep them secret and never share your ID number or password - especially online.
AQ logos are for official College use. Use of the College's logos is determined by the Marketing Department. If you want to use an AQ logo or other College-related graphic for ANY reason online, contact the Marketing Department first.

I discovered that wild card expansion does occur when the path with the wild card refers to a directory and jar files that actually exist. ...
classpath problem with YARN app submitted remotely
Login to create new topics or reply. | New User Registration

I am running HDP 18.104.22.168.0.6.0-76 on CentOS 5. I am developing a YARN application that builds on the distributed shell example.
When I submit the application on a single node cluster the classpath, as given by system property "java.class.path", in the Application Master has all wild card expansion done and produces a very long classpath. This classpath is correct and the Application Master runs properly.
When I submit the same application to a 4 node cluster running the same version of HDP, then "java.class.path" shows "*" characters which have not been expanded to be the list of jar files in the named directory. Thus, I get "class not found" exceptions.
On the 4 node cluster the value of "yarn.application.classpath" appears "as is" in "java.class.path" with no wild card expansion. Yet, in the single node cluster the value for "yarn.application.classpath" appears in "java.class.path" with all wild card expansion done.
Is there perhaps a problem in our 4 node cluster configuration? Or is there possibly a bug in the YARN implementation for this setup?

Updated on Friday 05th June 2015
A Polish holding company is a legal entity which owns outstanding shares in another company. Usually, the holding company is not exercising any commercial activity, like providing goods or services but it's especially created to own shares in other legal entities.
The investors are usually looking for certain advantages when opening holding companies such as the exemption on paying withholding taxes on dividends paid by the subsidiaries to the holding company (situated in other country), the dividends income delivered by the subsidiary to the holding company must be subject to a smaller or even exempt corporate income tax in the country of origin of the holding company, a low or exempt rate of capital gains tax of the profits realized after selling the shares of the subsidiary company must be available.
The Polish investors can profit from the above if certain conditions are met such as the fact that the subsidiaries are already paying taxes in the country of origin, if the holding company is paying taxes in Poland or if the holding company located in Poland owns at least 15% of the shares of the subsidiary for more than two years in the row. The above conditions are specified in the Polish Corporate Income tax Law from the 1st of January 2007.
If the above are not compliant, than the company has to pay the corporate income tax of 19%.
The withholding taxes on dividends or interests and royalties can be exempt or reduced by the provisions of the many double tax treaties signed by Poland over the years or exempt by the regulations of the Parent-Subsidiary Directive (only on withholding tax on interest and royalty payments paid by Polish corporate residents to subsidiaries located in EU countries). As a matter of fact, from the 1st of July 2013, the interests and the royalties won't be taxed at all if the above condition is met.
For further details our Polish law firm will be at your disposal. Please contact us for mpre detailed information related to holding companies in Poland or various types of legal services.

Dave found this recipe a few weeks ago. Abbey & I made them over the weekend for Pete's college buddies who were in town. OH. MY. WORD!
So good!!!!
Buffalo Chicken Muffins
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 24-30 rolls
1 recipe Pizza Dough
1 onion, chopped
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup favorite Buffalo Sauce (I used Ken's)
2 cups fresh mozzarella
Sauté chopped onions in butter over medium heat. Once transparent, add chopped chicken. When chicken is done, add Buffalo Sauce and heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 400. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick spray, or, opt to use a prepared muffin tin.
Divide dough in half. Roll each half into a large rectangle roughly 1/4 inch in thickness.
Spread chicken and cheese evenly across each piece of rolled out dough. Starting from long side of dough, begin rolling the dough up like a cinnamon roll. Pinch ends when done. Slice into 1 1/2 to 2 inch rolls. Place on the baking sheet or in muffin tins. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and dough is lightly browned. Serve and enjoy!
PS… I served with Blue Cheese & Ranch dressing. Great for dipping!

Hi all,
I am using air drying clay to create my beads. I paint them with acrylic. I heard that I need to use non-toxic sealer for them.
Can someone recommend non-toxic sealers brands for me?
I have used Krylon clear spray acrylic on some copper and brass pieces, I sure hope it is nontoxic.
I contacted Krylon about this sealer, and this is there response:
"Currently Krylon does not manufacture a paint or clear finish that is FDA approved. The
Krylon paint coatings are fully cured in 20-30 days. Once cured, the
paint film is considered inert. For additional information on chemicals
that are considered harmful, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) are
available upon request.Your physician may use this information to
evaluate any personal health concerns."

What do you use to collect your notes?
I use my Moleskine for my day to day notes, especially for meetings.
However, when it comes to electronic notes, I turn to Evernote.
It is hands down the simplest and quickest way to get your notes in the cloud.
Today, I want to discuss 10 ways you can save time using it.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- March 5, 2001 -- Student members of the University of Rhode Island chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) competed in the national Collegiate Turf Bowl competition last month in Dallas, Tex. Fifty-three universities entered 61 student teams in the competition, and URI teams placed fourth, fourteenth and twenty-fourth.
According to team adviser W. Michael Sullivan, professor and chairman of the URI Department of Plant Sciences, the competition consists of "a rather brutal exam that involves broad professional knowledge" of turf growth and development, soil fertility, environmental stewardship, mathematics, and pesticide chemistry. In addition, a practical component of the exam required the identification of numerous plants, insects and diseases.
The URI team that placed fourth consisted of Benjamin Miranda of Barrington, R.I.; David Vetelino of Rockland, Mass.; Christopher Gould of Stow, Mass.; and John Rourke of Coventry, R.I.. Placing fourteenth in the competition was the team of Matthew Dizazzo of Pelham, N.H.; Jeffrey Gennarelli of Hawthorne, N.Y.; Patrick Quinlan of Clifton, N.J.; and Ryan Sullivan of Wareham, Mass. The twenty-fourth place team included Anthony Gilberti of Westford, Mass.; Derik Lundin of Bridgewater, Mass.; and Jamie Medeiros of Warren, R.I.
Participants for the competition were selected based on their scores on a pretest administered at URI. Competitors were then required to raise approximately $5,000 to pay their way to the event. Additional funding came from an endowed scholarship established by Mort and Ruth Grossman, owners of Wayne Seed Co. in Providence.
"Im extremely proud of how well they did at this competition," said Sullivan. "This speaks phenomenally well of our program and our students. They represented the university and the department well."
In addition to Sullivan, the team was also guided by URI professors Steven Alm, Noel Jackson, Brian Maynard and Bridget Ruemmele.
The event was held in conjunction with the GCSAA international convention and in cooperation with the U.S. Golf Association, the Golf Course Architects Association, the North American Turf Grass Breeders Association, the Golf Course Owners Association, and the American Irrigation Association.

Why I Parted Ways With The Right
1. Support for fascists, both in America (see: Pat Buchanan, Robert Stacy McCain, etc.) and in Europe (see: Vlaams Belang, BNP, SIOE, Pat Buchanan, etc.)
2. Support for bigotry, hatred, and white supremacism (see: Pat Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Robert Stacy McCain, Lew Rockwell, etc.)
3. Support for throwing women back into the Dark Ages, and general religious fanaticism (see: Operation Rescue, anti-abortion groups, James Dobson, Pat Robertson, Tony Perkins, the entire religious right, etc.)
4. Support for anti-science bad craziness (see: creationism, climate change denialism, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, James Inhofe, etc.)
5. Support for homophobic bigotry (see: Sarah Palin, Dobson, the entire religious right, etc.)
6. Support for anti-government lunacy (see: tea parties, militias, Fox News, Glenn Beck, etc.)
7. Support for conspiracy theories and hate speech (see: Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Birthers, creationists, climate deniers, etc.)
8. A right-wing blogosphere that is almost universally dominated by raging hate speech (see: Hot Air, Free Republic, Ace of Spades, etc.)
9. Anti-Islamic bigotry that goes far beyond simply criticizing radical Islam, into support for fascism, violence, and genocide (see: Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer, etc.)
10. Hatred for President Obama that goes far beyond simply criticizing his policies, into racism, hate speech, and bizarre conspiracy theories (see: witch doctor pictures, tea parties, Birthers, Michelle Malkin, Fox News, World Net Daily, Newsmax, and every other right wing source)
And much, much more. The American right wing has gone off the rails, into the bushes, and off the cliff.
I won't be going over the cliff with them.
UK Jewish Group Urges Jews Not to Be Fooled by Fascists
British Jewish advocacy group CST appeals to Jews not to take part in an upcoming demonstration by far right Eurofascists: Don't be fooled by Islamophobia.
A small Islamophobic group, called Stop Islamisation Of Europe (SIOE), has called for 1,000 Jews to attend its forthcoming demonstration at Harrow mosque; and for each Jew to bring an Israeli flag.
This is strikingly similar to appeals that have also been made in recent months by the English Defence League (EDL). It is also essentially the same as opportunistic attempts by British National Party leader Nick Griffin to ditch both his and his party's antisemitic heritage, by stressing his supposed new-found support for Israel and Jews.
SIOE's appeal for Jewish participation sits alongside this grotesque Islamophobic image on its website:
If a Jew cannot understand why the image is racist, or hateful, or bigoted then they should try imagining it as a synagogue: with blood dripping from a Star of David; with blood dripping down the rabbi's pulpit; and with blood dripping from the mouth of a skull that wears an Israeli army helmet. …
CST has raised awareness of the activities of extreme Islamist groups in the UK for many years. But to demonise an entire community, every Muslim and every mosque, in the way that SIOE does, shows exactly the kind of bigotry from which Jews have suffered so often in our history. For SIOE to appeal to Jews to support them shows a complete ignorance of the Jewish experience of being on the receiving end of exactly this type of politics. …
Hatred, division, cycles of inter-communal violence, intimidation and polarisation feed the extremists on every side. They encourage social division and leave all minorities vulnerable. Anti-Muslim bigotry is a vital recruiting sergeant for both the far right, and its Islamist extremist counterparts. It generates votes for the BNP and, at the furthest ends of this political spectrum, it even provides the fuel for terrorism. British Jews should have no part of it.
The SIOE is trying to use British Jews for two purposes: 1) to give them cover and deflect accusations of fascism, and 2) to enrage any Islamists at Harrow mosque and try to provoke them to violence.
Insane shrieking harpy Pamela Geller is solidly on the side of the fascists, as always, and is freaking out at her hate site: Atlas Urges Jews Worldwide to Support SIOE, Ignore Dhimmi 'Jewish Councils' - Atlas Shrugs.
Oncve again leftist Jews lying and deceiving to advance the aims of the enemies of Jews andJewish life.

Skeptical Science Debunks the Deniers
Here's an excellent website that thoroughly debunks a lot of the most common talking points endlessly repeated by climate change skeptics and deniers: Skeptical Science: Examining Global Warming Skepticism.
Their mission statement:
Skeptical Science was created by John Cook, an ex-physicist (majoring in solar physics at the University of Queensland). My interest in global warming began when I got into some discussions with a skeptical family member who handed me a speech by Senator Inhofe. It took little research to show his arguments were misleading and lacking in science.
Since then, I've scoured peer reviewed scientific literature in an attempt to penetrate the political agendas and cherry picking. I've noticed two patterns in global warming skepticism. Firstly, many reasons for disbelieving in anthropogenic global warming (AGW) seem to be political rather than scientific. Eg - it's all a liberal plot to spread socialism and destroy capitalism (or sometimes just plain dislike for Al Gore). As one person put it, "the cheerleaders for doing something about global warming seem to be largely the cheerleaders for many causes of which I disapprove".
Beneath the politics is a more elemental instinct - an aversion to alarmism. We've been burnt before. The media predicted an ice age in the 70's which never eventuated. Y2K was going to destroy society - it was barely a hiccup. And I won't deny there are alarmists in the global warming camp. Urgent cries that the ice sheets are on the verge of sliding into the sea. Or emotional pleas to save those cute little polar bears. Sadly, alarmists seem to be the loudest voices in the global warming debate. But that doesn't change the science underneath.
So I ignore the distracting politics and ad hominem arguments. Instead, I concentrate on the science. And I noticed when the discussion did get to science, the same flawed skeptic argument continue to propogate through the blogosphere, Chinese whispers style. This website is an attempt to examine all the scientific arguments that reject AGW.
Washington Times Runs Birther Ad, With Monkeys
The racism at the Washington Times (former employer of white supremacist blogger Robert Stacy McCain) is bubbling to the surface for all to smell, like noxious sewer gas. Today they ran the following advertisement, a lunatic Birther ad featuring images of monkeys. This isn't even "dog whistle" racism. It's right in your face, poking you in the eye.

Huckabee Passes the Buck
Theocrat Mike Huckabee has posted another statement at his PAC site, passing the buck and taking no personal responsibility for his disastrous decision to grant clemency to suspected cop killer Maurice Clemmons: Huck PAC - Blogs - Statement Regarding Washington State Slayings.
The senseless and savage execution of police officers in Washington State has saddened the nation, and early reports indicate that a person of interest is a repeat offender who once lived in Arkansas and was wanted on outstanding warrants here and in Washington State. The murder of any individual is a profound tragedy, but the murder of a police officer is the worst of all murders in that it is an assault on every citizen and the laws we live within.
Should he be found to be responsible for this horrible tragedy, it will be the result of a series of failures in the criminal justice system in both Arkansas and Washington State. He was recommended for and received a commutation of his original sentence from 1990, this commutation made him parole eligible and he was then paroled by the parole board once they determined he met the conditions at that time. He was arrested later for parole violation and taken back to prison to serve his full term, but prosecutors dropped the charges that would have held him. It appears that he has continued to have a string of criminal and psychotic behavior but was not kept incarcerated by either state. This is a horrible and tragic event and if found and convicted the offender should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Our thoughts and prayers are and should be with the families of those honorable, brave, and heroic police officers.
Notice the passive language Huckabee uses to describe his decision to grant clemency: "He was recommended for and received a commutation of his original sentence from 1990." And also note that prosecutors in the case strongly objected to Huckabee's decision.
Huckabee doesn't even sign it with his own name; it's the epitome of weasely politician behavior.

Full detailed profile on A.J. Quartermaine Played by Sean Kanan on General Hospital Daytime Soap Opera.
Sean Kanan (CBS)
Birthday: November 2 1966
Morgan's surprised when he realizes he's at the Quartermaine's. Alice confirms it is Kiki/Lauren's family's home and that the Quartermaine's still live there. It dawns on Morgan that Kiki/Lauren is a Quartermaine. He realizes Kiki/Lauren and Michael are cousins when he learns Franco is Kiki/Lauren's father. He laughs, relieved that he doesn't have to worry about Kiki/Lauren and Michael becoming an item. Alice becomes the confused one but is happy to learn he's little Morgan. Morgan gives her a great big kiss. In the living room, Tracy offers Franco a chance to get even with AJ by siding with her. Franco humors them, allowing both to share their horrid tales about each other. Franco likes Tracy's tales better and notes that she didn't try to kill him on the Haunted Star. She suggests that AJ might have been the one who tried to finish him off at the Metro Court. AJ sympathizes going through the same struggles as Franco about having their kids kept from them. He's certain an alliance between the two of them would be good for them and both their children. AJ offers Franco a chance at redemption over revenge and Tracy gets worried that Franco's sold on the offer. Alone, Tracy hears that Franco is thrilled to use AJ as a means to get a relationship with his daughter. She tries to convince him that she's been getting to know Kiki/Lauren and they both should do something to ensure her future with ELQ. She waits for Franco to shake on it when Alice brings Morgan in and introduces him as Kiki/Lauren's boyfriend. Franco's happy to meet his brother's namesake. AJ meets Lauren at the door when she arrives looking for Morgan. He wants to talk to her about her cousin but is interrupted by a call from Michael. Michael's upset about kissing Morgan's girlfriend. AJ requests that he come over and meet his cousin first. Kiki/Lauren joins the family and is surprised that Morgan knows them. He tells her Michael is one of them. Tracy leaves as AJ brings Michael in and introduces him to Kiki/Lauren, his cousin.
Michael stops by AJ's office. It's only a matter of time before Franco knows he's the deciding vote. AJ knows Franco's already aware since his visit the night before. He adds that it coincided with Lauren's visit. Michael's surprised she just showed up on their doorstep. AJ convinces Michael to visit the house to win Lauren over. He's about to tell Michael her nickname when he receives a call and gestures Michael can leave.
At the Quartermaine's, Franco's introduction to Alice fails when she closes the door in his face. He doesn't give up easily and the two of them struggle with the door. In the living room, Kiki/Lauren calls Morgan to share her good news of living in the lap of luxury. Morgan doesn't think they'll be that bad off that he'll have to move in as he plays online poker. She cuts Morgan off when Franco arrives and tells him she'll send a car to pick him up. Kiki/Lauren throws something breakable at Franco when he asks for some sugar. Alice is hesitant to leave Kiki/Lauren alone with her father when she asks Alice to pick up her boyfriend. Kiki/Lauren is certain she can handle Franco and gives Alice the address. Franco is pleased they are alone so they can get to know each other. Franco pours his heart out to her about all he's lost and sacrificed. He hopes they will be able to reconcile. Kiki/Lauren is so moved that she runs off to be alone when AJ interrupts them. Franco is disturbed by AJ's blundering moment that tears his daughter away from him. Tracy overhears and offers Franco a way to get even by using his shares.
AJ brings Elizabeth coffee at the hospital. He's certain Michael is handling Franco's return better than he is and is tired of watching Tracy fuss over his new niece Kiki. Elizabeth's sorry to bring him news that Danny is in the hospital for tests. They part. Elizabeth's surprised when Olivia's wheeled into emergency with a gunshot wound. She makes Sonny and Connie wait outside. He holds Connie after they realize Olivia saw her blood on Sonny in her vision and not his. Connie allows Sonny to see Olivia first when she is stabilized. Connie notifies Dante about Olivia's status and returns to hear Sonny confess how much he needs Olivia in his life right now. Nearby, Nik brings Danny a stuffed elephant and coffee for Alexis while she waits. She's upset Shawn left for work and slowly gets to the point that Shawn works for Sonny. Nik's surprised Shawn's not the sandwich guru he thought he was. Alexis denies Kelly's diner is a front or that Shawn has taken over Jason's job as enforcer. She doesn't believe Shawn is like the other men she's had in her life. Shawn returns and is introduced to Nik before he leaves. Alexis wants to know what Shawn stepped away to do. He calls her out on their previous agreement not to discuss these matters but Alexis feels she needs to know now. Shawn takes a call from Carly on the side and promises to check on Olivia. Meanwhile, Nik stops AJ at the elevator from visiting Danny while he rests after the procedure. AJ quips Nik must still be pining after Elizabeth. Nik ignores the remark and lets AJ know that he's aware he slept with Carly and has recorded proof. AJ's surprised Elizabeth doesn't know already and wonders what the catch is. There's no catch, but Nik doesn't have a reason to delete the recording and is quite happy to have a nice insurance policy to keep AJ from hurting Elizabeth.
Ava barges in at the Quartermaine's and she and Tracy hurl insults at Franco. Franco believes they should be concerned about Ava's angle and mentions she may not be able to keep up her end of the bargain. Tracy asks for the signed documents and Franco demands to see his daughter. Lauren/Kiki walks in and Franco introduces himself as her father. Ava pulls a knife on Franco and threatens his life if he doesn't back off. Tracy and AJ stumble over themselves to meet Lauren/Kiki and soon everyone is yelling. Lauren/Kiki whistles for everyone to shut up. She didn't want a war, just an advance so she can pay for rent. Tracy and AJ offer her room at the mansion instead and show her around. Franco promises Ava that he will have a relationship with Lauren whether she likes it or not. Ava leaves and Carly enters.
At the Quartermaine's, Monica interrupts a quiet AJ and knows he's still thinking about what happened to Michael. Tracy enters the living room and approaches AJ. He doesn't want to talk about relish. She agrees and confesses she heard about Michael. AJ is upset Monica told her and awaits Tracy's tongue-lashing. Tracy tells AJ how sorry she is. He thanks her and remembers they're all family. AJ brings up Franco's entitlement to shares as Monica and Tracy disagree he's owed anything. Franco sneaks in the patio doors holding up a peace sign asking if they should be talking about family like that. He checks out all the family photos on the mantle, including Alan's. From the patio, Shawn tries to get a clear shot at Franco but he moves around too much. Monica asks him to leave and he promises to take his shares out the door with him. Outside, Shawn disappears. Meanwhile, Franco taunts Monica by referring to her as his mother. Franco calls a meeting to order indicating that everything will change for AJ and Tracy to stop all this squabbling. As he surmises he might be the smartest grandchild, Ava arrives.
AJ hugs Michael at the Quartermaine's. AJ wishes Michael told him what happened in prison. Michael knew it wouldn't be easy to bring it up and didn't want AJ's pity. AJ promises he wouldn't pity him. Michael confesses he also doesn't want AJ blaming Sonny and Carly. AJ can't believe Michael can defend them. Michael places the blame for Claudia's death on himself and wants AJ to do the same so he can move on. They discuss Franco being a Quartermaine.
At the Quartermaine's, AJ lets Monica know the invite was from Franco and shares the events of the night. He confronts Monica for keeping information from him and then takes it upon himself to disclose what happened to Michael in Pentonville. Monica is sorry for what happened to Michael. After she leaves, AJ shatters a vase. Ava arrives and comments on the priceless piece of art he destroyed. AJ surmises her business with Tracy is related to Franco's daughter. Ava denies knowing him, and then she recalls the price of his art going up when he died. AJ gives her the bad news that the price of his art just went back down. Ava's disturbed to hear Franco is alive and doesn't believe it. AJ calls her out as Lauren's mother after he sees her reaction. He advises she doesn't let Lauren sign any documents from Tracy. Ava remembers Kiki's anger from the previous night and guarantees that won't happen. AJ lets her know Franco is in prison when she inquires after his whereabouts. Alone Michael arrives. AJ wishes Michael told him. They hug.
On the Haunted Star, AJ demands Carly tell him what Franco did to Michael. She refuses and Sonny asks AJ to back off. Michael decides it's his story to tell and recounts killing Claudia to save Josslyn and going to prison for it. AJ's confused by what Franco has to do with it. Carly doesn't want Michael to share if he doesn't want to. Michael is okay and is in control. He confesses being raped in prison by Carter. AJ is visibly shaken. Michael admits he dealt with it already and accepts AJ's hug. AJ attacks Sonny and Carly for what happened. Sam is angered when AJ appears to make this about himself after all Jason did. She points at Franco and yells, "Blame him." Carly shares that Franco hired Carter and AJ tackles Franco to the floor. Sam wants AJ to stop hoping Franco knows something about Jason. Franco denies being responsible for what happened to Michael. He thanks Michael for the opportunity to prove himself and plays a video of him hiring Carter to bait Jason but to protect Michael. Franco's truly sorry he couldn't predict Carter would hurt Michael. Elizabeth consoles AJ who's upset he couldn't help Michael. Franco hopes Michael can accept his apology at some point. Michael bears witness to what Jason meant to him and how it angers him that Franco was trying to hurt Jason and not him. Carly screams at Franco and he dismisses her, only caring what Michael thinks. Sonny's happy to hear there are no more shows to watch and wants the information Franco has to share on Jason. Sam wants no more games and asks if Jason is alive. Sonny pulls his gun after Franco admits using Jason to gather them together in his attempt to give them peace and make things right. Sam asks Sonny for the gun and aims it at Franco. "Look around," she screams reminding him of the pain and suffering he caused them and the added grief knowing that Jason left the world never knowing the truth. Sam can't pull the trigger, wanting her son to grow up knowing his mother. She knocks Franco out with the gun after telling him to enjoy prison.
Right at 8 PM the lights go out at The Haunted Star on Sam, Liz, Spin, Maxie, Michael, Carly, Sonny and AJ. When they come back up Sam recognizes the blonde-haired man – its Franco! Carly thought Jason killed him, and he concedes that Jason was thorough, but not thorough enough. Sonny pulls a gun on him to finish the job. Franco tells him to hold off. He cheated death – maybe Jason did too. Sam begs Sonny to back down and he grants Franco five minutes. Franco has the truth for Sam – and not just about Jason. They have so much to discuss. He takes a moment to comment on Liz's hotness. Liz yells at him for stealing her baby from the hospital. Franco apologizes for keeping her child from her because the same thing was done to him. Carly pipes up but Franco accuses her of causing all of this for dropping the dime about Lauren to the Quartermaines in the first place. Sam doesn't care and wants to know about Jason. Franco wants to talk about her honeymoon. Sam is disgusted at him for bringing up the place where he raped her. He casts doubt on that assertion. Considering she was passed out, how would she know? He could tell her the truth, but watching the video will be so much better. On film, Franco places an unconscious Sam on the bed. Then he takes off his shirt and covers the camera up. Sam begins to cry as Carly holds her. The footage continues. Franco gets on top of Sam and tells her he won't touch her, but Jason will always wonder if he had. Franco didn't rape Sam and he is so sorry that she thought that he had. Carly doesn't think that changes what he did to Michael. AJ demands Carly tell him what that is.
