LAS VEGAS (AP) - An evidentiary hearing has been called off in
federal court for the grandfather of a 6-year-old Las Vegas boy who
was kidnapped in October and later found safe.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Peggy Leen approved canceling a
preliminary hearing scheduled Monday for Clemens Fred Tinnemeyer
and his girlfriend, Terri Leavy.
They're accused of running drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border
to pay a debt to drug traffickers.
The judge on Thursday ruled the Tinnemeyer-Leavy case would be
merged with a separate sealed criminal complaint.
Federal prosecutors said last week that two men had been charged
with orchestrating the kidnapping of Cole Puffinburger after
Tinnemeyer allegedly made off with millions of dollars in drug

Last December, a woman in Oregon found a handwritten letter hidden inside a package of Halloween decorations she purchased from Kmart. The letter described awful forced-labor conditions in a Chinese prison factory. Now, The New York Times says they have found the man who wrote it. According to the article, the 47-year-old former prisoner, who now lives in Beijing, said he was imprisoned for refusing to convert from his religion of Falun Gong, a faith deemed a cult by the Chinese government. Along with prisoners convicted of serious crimes, he was also held with members of China's underground churches, who were also being imprisoned for their beliefs.
The letter said there were "Thousands people here who are under the persicution [sic] of the Chinese Communist Party Government." In his recent interview, he described regular torture, 15-hour work days, sleep deprivation and being subjected to unspeakable abuses while going through a program of "re-education through labor" making products like the Kmart Halloween decorations in secret factories. All of the former prisoners interviewed in the story said the torture and forced labor was because they refused to renounce their faith … Discuss

The first part of the PATH, namely /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin is the OS X Leopard default, defined through the basic path setting file /etc/paths yielding /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin and through the additional path setting files in /etc/paths.d. Then come your additions. What's odd is that: (1) The additional path setting files in /etc/paths.d are processed in alphabetical order of file names, so that the additional path elements are added at the end of the basic path by alphabetical order of file names. (2) Upon install MacTeX adds a file /etc/paths.d/TeX containing the path element /usr/texbin to the file /etc/paths.d/X11 which is part of OS X and contains the path element /usr/X11/bin Given the file name "TeX" comes before the file name "X11" in alphabetical order, the TeX path addition should come before the X11 one, so that on a vanilla Leopard (!) with only X11 and MacTeX the PATH should be /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/X11/bin In your case, /usr/texbin comes last, after *not only* the MacPorts and "git" elements but *also* the X11 element. This indicates that when installing MacTeX something went wrong, so that no file /etc/paths.d/TeX has been installed or that, in case it has been, then for some reason it is not taken into account properly. It's possible that something on your setup fooled the MacTeX installer which did not realize it was on Leopard, thought it was on Tiger and accordingly modified /etc/csh.login and /etc/profile instead of creating /etc/paths.d/TeX.

Dynamic Lat/Long text for "Center of Data Frame" in Data Driven Pages
February 10 2011 |
0 comments
Categories: ArcGIS 10, Publishing
I'm trying to create dynamic text for my mapbook (data driven pages) and I want each page to have the Lat/Long for the center of the map. I copied the text from the Help docs, but I'm not sure which values I need to change for my needs. I currently have:
Map Center = ,
I changed the dataFrame name to my "Layers" dataframe, but I'm not sure which other values need to be changed to my specific map properties.
It currently reads "Map Center = 0°0'0.00", 0°0'0.00""
Mapping Center Answer:
There is a dynamic text tag specifically for what you are trying to do here. All you have to do is add a piece of text to the layout and paste in this string for the text element:
That will find the center of the data frame rather than the coordinate system, which is what you are currently trying to do.
Here is an example that shows you how to format the coordinates of the value that is returned:

Keep the Sabbath or Lose your Vision
With Murray Dixon
Recently, a guest addressing our leadership team at Pierrepont made a poignant statement: 'People can lose their vision in six days!' He was not suggesting losing our physical eyesight, but rather our spiritual eyesight. I immediately thought, Shabbat! [Hebrew for 'Sabbath'].
On this seventh day we need re-envisioning, and that is really what Shabbat is about: re-envisioning ourselves in God. The church has passed down a legacy which says that observing the Sabbath is legalistic and 'brings us back under the law.' I want to shed a different light on Sabbath observance.
We find the Sabbath first appears back in the second chapter of the Bible [Genesis 2:2-3]. This was centuries before the law [Hebrew: Torah] was given. God was the One who observed the first Sabbath. God Himself set the pattern for us all. Sometimes English has its limitations, and in this case 'rest' is a limited translation of the Hebrew word for 'Sabbath.'
God created us to have fellowship with Him as Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden. Sin came into the picture - complete rebellion against God - who decided to deal with the situation by flooding the earth. Being a gracious God, who loves the people He created, He planned a rescue operation. While Noah was building the ark, the only means of escaping God's intended flood, possibly over a period of 100 years, people were given the opportunity to repent and turn to God. It was a time of opportunity to respond to God's invitation to escape destruction and to enjoy His fellowship.
Further down the path of history, we discover that God decided to create an entire nation that could have fellowship with Him. They were a people who had been enslaved in Egypt for 400 years. The miracle the Bible describes as 'the Passover' protected this chosen people from destruction beginning a series of miracles known as the Exodus, as God commenced establishing this people as a nation. God expressed His extraordinary love to these people whom He named: 'Israel is My son, My firstborn.' [Exodus 4:22] In fact in antiquity these events have been described as God's 'Love story.'
Once the Israelites passed through the sea that opened before them, they found themselves at the foot of Mount Sinai where God further demonstrated His grace. Often we miss the point that God planned them to be 'a kingdom of priests and a holy nation' [Exodus 19:6]. God commanded all His people to come further up the mountain where He could speak to them. The mountain was trembling; the ground was shaking beneath their feet; thunder pierced their ears while lightning lit the sky. It was an awesome experience. It was frightening. Fearfully they cried out to Moses their refusal to obey God's command to come closer up the mountain. 'They said to Moses, "You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die!"'[Exodus 24:7] This refusal was Israel's first great sin and possibly their worst.
God wanted to envision this people equipping them to fulfil His purposes – for them to fellowship with Him. Their failure to approach God resulted in only one tribe chosen to be priests to Israel. Following Moses' meeting with God he wrote what God had spoken to him in 'the Book of the Covenant' which he read to the children of Israel. The scene in Exodus 24, is as the reading of the marriage covenant [the Ketubah] by the bridegroom to the bride according to the ancient Jewish ceremony. Israel responded: 'All that the Lord has said we will do, and be obedient.'[v. 24] The Ketubah, the basis of the marriage covenant, is the bride's assurance from her bridegroom of protection and provision for their lives together. The ancient rabbis understood this to be God taking Israel as his bride. That relationship is confirmed in Jeremiah 31:32 and is the theme of Hosea.
God declared to Moses His intention to dwell with His people although His intention had been to dwell within them. Moses was given specific details, by God, of a tabernacle that Israel was to build wherein God would dwell and meet with them. God's intention was clearly to be a relational God.
The Ten Commandments God had given Israel focus intently on this relationship, especially the 4th commandment: "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labour and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." [Exodus 20:8-11]
Do you realise God set us the example of keeping the Sabbath? At the completion of creation He kept the Sabbath and sanctified it, made it holy. The Hebrew word for holy is kadosh. Kadosh simply means to put a line down, to remove something out and make it special, or to separate it from everything else. We need to understand that it is not that God does not like work. In fact, God instructs us to work for six days. In antiquity, certainly in Jesus' day, Jewish understanding was that our work is an act of worshipping God. On the seventh day God required his people to cease their work in order that they focus entirely upon God as their Creator. This day serves to re-envision us as to who we are and what our relationship with Him is. The importance of keeping the Sabbath was stressed by God when he commanded that even work on His holy sanctuary had to stop. How often have we believed that it is okay to be working for God instead of keeping the Sabbath? It tells us that there is nothing that demands desecrating the holiness of the Shabbat.
Now, let us jump ahead to Jesus' time. We find that Jesus totally supported keeping the Sabbath holy. The problem He faced was how the people were keeping it. By then Sabbath observance had widely become legalistic, no more than a religious tradition rather than re-envisioning, and life giving. Our word translated 'rest' comes from the Hebrew word, nefesh. Nefesh is a rich word meaning more than 'rest', it means resurrection life. In Ezekiel 37, in the valley of the dry bones, God breathed His nefesh into the bones. The Sabbath is not only about rest, it is about building up our relationship with Him so that after the Sabbath we are better equipped for the next six days. It puts the life of Jesus into us giving us fulfilment and satisfaction in all that we do. It has been said that we can only effectively minister out of the overflow of God in our lives. I believe the Sabbath, in its biblical sense, is what that's all about.
How do we keep that Sabbath? Even secular Jewish people in Israel observe the Sabbath as a separate day. Those Jewish people who are faithful and believe the Bible to be the Word of God, keep a Sabbath meal on Friday night where the family usher in the Sabbath praying for each other, reading the Bible together and honouring God's presence. You may have seen the film, or stage production, 'Fiddler on the Roof' which presents us with a window into Jewish life in a poor village in Russia during the early 20th century. It shows families coming together on Friday evenings in their best clothes, whether or not they were fashionable clothes, they were the best they had. Mother had prepared the Sabbath meal, for which she would have saved the best food during the week ensuring that this significant meal was the high point of their week.
Frequently, as Christians we go to church for worship services and special occasions: our Christian life is centred on the church. The biblical pattern is celebrating the Sabbath and the Feasts of the Lord [Leviticus 23] in the home. Going to synagogue or the temple was, and is, complementary: discipleship was in the home. Biblically we see the source of Godly life in the home where the husband and father is 'priest' to the family. His wife will have prepared a special loaf made with honey: the challah loaf. Mother then opens the ceremony by lighting the two Sabbath candles. If you live in Jerusalem you will hear the siren ushering in the Sabbath at sunset. Mother lights the candles, singing in Hebrew the Sabbath blessing: praying the light of God into the home. After father chants the blessing of thanksgiving for the wheat from which the loaf is made and thanksgiving for the fruit of the vine, the loaf is shared around the family, each person sprinkling salt upon it: a reminder that the bread symbolises God's covenant with His people. Then the cup of red wine is passed for all to drink: symbolising the blood of the covenant. It is similar to Communion. Father begins blessing each member of his family: his wife first. He chants the words of Proverbs 31 – the virtuous wife – over her. He prays over his sons: 'May you be as Joseph and Ephraim;' and over his daughters: 'May you be as Rachel and Leah.' Each member of the family has a sense of belonging and worth as they have this time of rich blessing together. It is not a religious activity; it is simply knowing and honouring the Lord in the family.
How can we as Christians keep the Sabbath to be re-envisioned? I delight to read God's Word, perhaps listening to biblical exposition on a cd or reading a carefully selected inspirational book expounding the Scriptures. And drinking in the presence of the Lord through a worship cd. We sometimes share Communion together.
Frequently, while living in Israel, I have witnessed devout Jewish men pulling their prayer shawls over their heads like a tent, shutting out the world while communing with the Lord. Positioning ourselves on the Sabbath to allow the Lord to re-envision us is biblically what the Sabbath was designed for. It is all about making a sanctuary, a tabernacle – not made of fabric and timber, but 'a sanctuary of time' in our lives. On that seventh day God wants us to take time apart, unlike our quick devotions in the morning while we're eating breakfast and getting to work on time: quality time being with, listening to, and enjoying His presence. In this world there is so much to interrupt us and divert our focus, but this observance of the Sabbath can revolutionize our lives if we would only use the time wisely. I want to say again that it is not a religious habit; rather it is an opportunity to be refreshed in the resurrection life that the Lord wants to impart into us if we will stop and give Him some time.
There is a story told of a carpenter and a rabbi. Remember, the rabbis are acknowledged as spiritual leaders. It says that if a rabbi comes to visit a carpenter's shop, it is honourable for the carpenter to carry on working because his work is also his worship. It even says his work is as important as the rabbi's work. The point is that God is in all of our life, vitally interested in every aspect. It does not matter whether we are cooking or cleaning the loos.
This does not mean we shouldn't go to the park or play with our children. Simply, we need to be in a state of focusing on God wherever we are. When we observe this Sabbath and dedicate it to Him, we can participate with God more clearly and more functionally the rest of the week because we've had time just to listen to Him and to tell Him how much we love Him and worship Him. In doing this we receive nefesh, that resurrection life He wants to impart to us.

United's distractions boost CityComment on this story
London – Manchester City hope to capitalise on Manchester United's Champions League distractions by re-launching the defence of their Premier League title, starting with Saturday's trip to Southampton.
City's 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool last weekend enabled United to stretch their advantage at the top of the table to nine points, with only 13 games of the season remaining.
However, while United will have half an eye on Wednesday's trip to Real Madrid when they host Everton on Sunday, City's own failure in the Champions League means their agenda is free of European commitments.
Aside from a home game against second-tier Leeds United in the FA Cup on February 17, City can therefore channel all their resources into the pursuit of United.
Ivory Coast's quarter-final exit at the Africa Cup of Nations means that City manager Roberto Mancini will have both Yaya and Kolo Toure at his disposal for Saturday's visit to the English south coast.
Yaya Toure played a key role in last season's drive to the title, when City came from eight points behind to pip United on the final day, and he says the experience of the 2011-12 campaign proves it is too early to abandon hope.
"We are further behind than we'd like, of course, but all we need to do is think about last season to know what is possible," the midfielder told the club's offical website.
"Anything can happen. We have a full squad of fantastic players and I think the most important thing is we are all back together.
"United have a strong squad and on paper, they have an easier run-in than we do, but the title race is a long way from finished."
Everton's last visit to Old Trafford, in April last year, saw them come back from 4-2 down to force a 4-4 draw that played a pivotal role in tilting the momentum of the title race in City's favour.
As well as a two-legged tie with Madrid in the Champions League last 16, United are also scheduled to face Reading in the FA Cup, but manager Alex Ferguson is happy with the depth in his squad.
He told Inside United magazine: "We've got players back from injury, which is important, and I usually find that during the second half of the season when the big games come along, everyone is fit!"
The contest for third place took an intriguing turn last weekend, with Chelsea's 2-2 draw at Newcastle United enabling Tottenham Hotspur to close the gap on them to just a single point.
Spurs host improving Newcastle on Saturday lunchtime and with Chelsea playing at home to Wigan Athletic later that afternoon, victory for Tottenham will provisionally take them above their London rivals.
In another part of the capital, bottom club Queens Park Rangers are running out of time to close the six-point divide that currently separates them from safety.
Ahead of QPR's visit to League Cup finalists Swansea City on Saturday, new signing Christopher Samba says he saw encouraging signs in last weekend's 0-0 draw with Norwich City.
"I thought we did enough to win and we were unfortunate not to, as we could have had three points. That will come, hopefully against Swansea this Saturday," the former Blackburn Rovers centre-back told the QPR website.
"We played very well overall though, and I have seen we have enough to remain in this league for myself now."
With nearest rivals Wigan, Reading and Southampton all facing sides in the top half of the table, second-bottom Aston Villa could make up ground in the fight for survival by defeating West Ham United on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Jamie Carragher can expect an emotional reception when Liverpool welcome West Bromwich Albion to Anfield on Monday, having announced that he will retire from football at the end of the season.
Saturday (5pm unless otherwise stated): Chelsea v Wigan Athletic, Norwich City v Fulham, Stoke City v Reading, Sunderland v Arsenal, Swansea City v Queens Park Rangers, Southampton v Manchester City (7.30pm), Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle United (2.45pm)
Sunday: Aston Villa v West Ham United (3.30pm), Manchester United v Everton (6pm)
Monday: Liverpool v West Bromwich Albion, 10pm – Sapa-AFP

The SuperMemo application in brief
SuperMemo is a method of computer-aided learning based on research in long-term memory. The method has gained wide recognition and received numerous awards. It provides the learner with an optimum learning plan and repetition schedule, which allows to minimise the learning time with a nearly 100% knowledge retention.
A new generation of SuperMemo UX
A new generation of SuperMemo UX introduces new functionalities such as the possibility to:
SuperMemo and memory mechanisms
Non-deductive information requires repeating in order to be remembered. Statistically, a simple information item (like date, number, new foreign word) is remembered for up to several days without recalling it through usage, association or repetition. Successive repetitions tend to reinforce memory traces, therefore the intervals between repetitions necessary to keep information in the memory get longer.
SuperMemo effectiveness guarantee
Basing on the data from the learning process, SuperMemo assigns each information its current difficulty level and predicts how long you will remember it. Your next review is planned shortly before the expected moment of forgetting.
SuperMemo retention guarantee
With the Pronunciation Trainer in the SuperMemoUX application the speech you record yourself is automatically analysed in terms of stress, intonation, rhythm and other important articulatory parameters. Apart from the automatic assessment, amplitude graphs and spectrograms provide additional information about the correctness of the recording. You can also control the speed of the model native speaker's recording.

US, Latin American and African Bishops Stand in Solidarity
Bishop Richard Pates Appeals For Continued Collaboration on Common Issues
Washington, D.C., (ZENIT.org) | 1721 hits
The bishops of the United States, Africa and Latin America stand in solidarity with each other and should continue to collaborate on the issues facing their people and the whole Church, said the chairman of the International Justice and Peace Committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops in two international addresses in July. Bishop Richard E. Pates of Des Moines, Iowa, spoke at the opening of the Symposium of Episcopal Conferences of Africa and Madagascar (SECAM), July 8, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and at the general coordinating meeting of the Conferencia Episcopal Lationamerica (CELAM), July 29, in Rio de Janeiro.
Speaking against the backdrop of World Youth Day, Bishop Pates thanked the Latin American bishops for the "gift" of Pope Francis, saying, "His message about the poor, humility, social justice, mercy and profound personal encounter with Jesus Christ our Savior resonates powerfully in the United States." Bishop Pates acknowledged the role of CELAM in helping to formulate the pope's message, especially through their 2007 Aparecida document on evangelization.
Bishop Pates also expressed the desire of the U.S. bishops to continue collaborating with their Latin American counterparts on issues of common concern. "The problems of drugs, mining and extractives, arms, the environment and immigration are common to all our nations," he said. "Let us seek possible answers with you for the good of our people and our Church."
Speaking in Africa, Bishop Pates noted the rapid growth in size and influence of the Church in Africa and highlighted how, especially where civil governance is weak, the Church is a trusted and organized force for good. "You have spoken out against the problems and injustices created by the exploitation of oil in Africa," he said. "Some of you have set up national level electoral monitoring networks to bring to light fraud and abuse that have tainted national elections. You have issued moral statements against corruption, fraud and abuse committed by local governments. Other national conferences have brought ethnic and religious communities in conflict together to rebuild the social fabric of society and create the foundations of sustainable peace."
Bishop Pates said he was proud of the collaboration between USCCB's International Justice and Peace Committee and the African bishops. "Together we have worked with the United States Government to increase development and humanitarian assistance," he said. "We have encouraged the government in Washington to adopt policies that would promote justice and peace. Lastly through the Solidarity Fund for the Church in Africa we are working to support the pastoral efforts of the Church."
Bishop Pates noted that 2013 is the 50th anniversary of the encyclical letter "Pacem in Terris" by Blessed John XXIII, which he called "the foundational document for all of us dedicated to peace building." In both addresses, Bishop Pates praised the impact priests from Latin America and Africa are having in dioceses in the United States and voiced his gratitude to their bishops.
SECAM's 16th plenary was held July 8-15, in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The meeting's theme was "The Church in Africa in service of reconciliation, justice and peace." Among the attendees there were seven cardinals, including Cardinal Christian Tumi of Cameroon, who gave the opening address, Cardinal Laurent Monsengwo of the Congo, and SECAM president Cardinal Polycarp Pengo of Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania.

Chan See Shu Yuen Temple
Like the green, green temples of home
What we say:
One of KL's oldest Chinese Buddhist temples, when the Chan See Shu Yuen Temple opened its doors in 1906, its main purpose was to provide help and support for newly arrived immigrants from China, specifically those from the extended Chan (Chen and Tan) clan.
Chan See Shu Yuen is best known for its intricate carvings, which show stories from Chinese legends mixed in which some more modern figures.
Much of the tiling, both on the walls and the roof, is green, from which it gets its informal name, the Green Temple.
The closest public transport is Maharajalela Monorail station, or alternatively it's a short walk from Petaling Street Market.

In any case, my intent in going was conferencing. I reviewed the agenda carefully before I left for Chicago, and planned the sessions I wanted to go to. In some cases, they were tough choices - with at least a half-dozen talks on a number of interesting topics in every time slot, there were times when I had to pick my priorities, and hope to hear about the sessions I missed from other bloggers who made different choices than I did. I managed to attend sessions from almost every programming track, and there was something worthwhile in every one of them.
My favorite sessions were the three Geek Labs I went to, and they were the most genuinely useful as well. I attended back-to-back Labs on basic HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and I now feel like I have a slightly higher comfort level that I know what I'm looking at when I make tweaks to my blog template! I learned that there are three basic elements to a web page:
CSS - style (how the content appears)
JavaScript - action (what the content does)
I also attended a statistics Lab, and it wasn't quite what I expected. The focus was largely on using your stats for revenue projections; the analysis and formulas we learned were interesting, but I was hoping for more discussion on understanding blog stats, period, with perhaps some recommendations on which stats programs were most useful. Google Analytics is a favorite, even though it's not real-time, because it can tell you so much about your site's traffic and usage; it's also not specific to one blog platform, so it's more widely applicable and accepted. I already have it, and I learned a few things that I think will make it even more useful for me. However, if you wanted some definitive answers regarding why different stat counters tell you different things, which is the most reliable, and the meaning of subscribers vs. hits vs. pageviews - which I did want, kind of - they weren't on offer.
All of the Geek Lab sessions were only 30 minutes long, and I wish there had been more time in every one of them; I feel like I got a nice taste of each topic, but they left me wanting more. On the other hand, I guess that can be considered inspiring. I have more detailed notes on each of the sessions - if you'd like a copy of any, just e-mail me at 3.rsblog AT Gmail DOT com.
The best discussion I attended was at a panel in the Leadership programming track, "What is 'Pro-Woman' in a Post-Palin World?" From the official conference agenda:
2008 was a volatile year for women in the public eye. Not just for those women, but for all women as we watched them in action and the reaction to them. BlogHer.com featured substantive, weighty and (mostly) civil conversations that dug up ongoing questions that dog all of us that consider ourselves "Pro-Woman":The panel, and the audience participation, touched on nearly every question mentioned above in a session not intended to arrive at definitive answers, but to foster conversation among holders of many different viewpoints. I think it was successful. I do stray into the political around here at times, I don't apologize for calling myself a feminist, and I was engaged throughout the session. The disagreements, when they happened, were civil, and I heard sensible opinions - that is, they made sense to me, even if I didn't agree with them - from all the represented areas on the political spectrum. This was a session I attended not just because I was interested in the content, but also to meet one of the panelists - I've been reading Veronica's various blogs for a long time, and it was great to get a chance to speak with her, however briefly, and get her autograph on the issue of Ms. Magazine in which she's featured.
How do we address the rift between many women of color and the perception of the mainstream feminist movement? Can pro-choice and pro-life women find common "pro-woman" ground? If we believe that women are true thought leaders and change agents for the world and that women's leadership is more important than ever in turbulent times, how do we reconcile this with the fact that women certainly do not all agree?! What does it mean to be "pro-woman" when woman are anything but a monolithic bloc who think…or vote the same?
Join the conversation to answer all these questions and more. Dedicated feminist Danielle HendersonEmily Zanotti, liberal feminist blogger Veronica Arreola, and conservative Fausta Wertz, who blogs about Latin American politics, news and current events. Join them to discuss what it means to be Pro-Woman in today's world. moderates this conversation with conservative libertarian blogger
There was some good food for thought in a panel on the Identity/Passions track, "Enough About You - Who's Reading You?" This conversation touched on blogging to build friendships and/or community and how it's like - and unlike - developing a fan base for your blog; shifting the focus of your writing in accordance to what readers do, and don't, respond to was another big topic. The subject of openness came up as several people talked about blog stalkers, and perspectives on blogging authentically and the blogger/reader relationship were offered and shared.
I attended the first session in the MommyBlogging track, "Have You Found Your MommyBlogging Tribe?" because I really felt like my answer was "no" - and after the panel, it still is. I'm a mom who blogs, and who contributes to a group blog with other moms, but I've never felt like the "mommy-blogger" label fits me, and as its definition shifts and seems to narrow in focus due to its growing popularity with marketers, it seems even less right for me. I agree that it's necessary to put yourself out into the blogiverse to bring readers back to you - I comment, I link, I participate in group activities, and most of you who've been around here for awhile know all that already. But I also write here, and I care about what and how I write - and the bloggers I want to know about and read are the ones who care about the writing too. This panel was the first place I heard the "writing well isn't enough" comment (from a blogger who I think writes very well, and who didn't seem to enjoy saying it either), which I really wish wasn't true, but as far as evaluating popularity in the blogiverse, it just might be.
In any case, I continue to feel on the fringes of the "mommybloggers", and to feel that my "tribe" is among those - moms and everyone else - who blog about books and popular culture and everyday life. I like having interests that cross genres and topics and tribal boundaries. But my sense of online community is rooted among the book bloggers, who were in very short supply at BlogHer (and unless that's addressed with programming, I fear that's unlikely to change). Here are two of the three besides myself that I know were there, in a photo I'm borrowing from TexasRed:
TexasRed is on the left at one of the few moments she wasn't wearing her cowboy hat, and Sassymonkey is in red. We're just missing Beatrice from My Kingdom for a Book.
I heard about some other good sessions that I'm sorry I missed. The conference experience depends on what you make of it, and BlogHer'09 provided lots of good program material to work with; I was quite satisfied with my choices of how to use it, and it was well worth the time.

Customer Reviews
The husband gave me a Kindle the first year it was available, and I hated the whole idea. What could he he have been thinking? Me, THE READER, reading on-line or whatever this thing was?
Now, having no idea when I fell in-hate with this thing, I have graduated to Kindle, Kindle Fire, iPad app for Kindle, gifting the Kindles to family and friends, I hate it when a friend hands me a book and it's not on my Kindle. Really, why bother hefting a book when you can Kindle? I love it. It can only get better, but I don't know how, AND THERE'S BOOK BUB, and I can read forever. I expensively. I love my Kindle. Now go away and let me read.
Perfect except for one issue.
The first and only issue with this great app: viewing annotations needs an option to view by chapter, or view every 10 or something. I have so many annotations that it takes like 20-30 seconds to load. And when you navigate out of the app, I have to load them again! Fix the view annotations toggle.
I'm super impressed, the iOS developers for this app did a wonderful job! I keep all my textbooks on kindle and this app makes highlighting and taking notes within my books SO easy. It's really a well-featured app. Kudos, devs.
Can't Live without it!
I really don't go anywhere without my Kindle app on my iPad or a Kindle itself. I got the Paperwhite for my hubby and daughter--gifts that THEY use every day--the Voyage for myself, after needing something smaller than the original Kindle DX--which is my favorite for doing lots of reading because I don't have to turn the page so much. The resolution on the newer models are much more close to real paper and ink, but I love the integrated nightlight in the Voyage. Not "backlit", but front lit so less strain on your eyes!

Yes, according to Forbes, which says it "can't say when exactly," but that "it's only a matter of time, maybe a few more years."
Here are some of the key metrics Forbes mentions: "Despite the disappearance of competitors including Circuit City, the company is losing market share. Its last earnings announcement disappointed investors. In 2011, the company's stock has lost 40% of its value. Forward P/E is a mere 6.23 (industry average is 10.20). Its market cap down to less than $9 billion. Its average analyst rating, according to The Street.com, is a B-."
But the even bigger problem, according to Forbes, is the sales staff.
But my friend decided to buy some other blu-ray discs. Or at least he tried to, until we were "assisted" by a young, poorly groomed sales clerk from the TV department, who wandered over to interrogate us. What kind of TV do you have? Do you have a cable service, or a satellite service? Do you have a triple play service plan?
He was clearly—and clumsily–trying to sell some alternative. (My guess is CinemaNow, Best Buy's private label on-demand content service.) My friend politely but firmly told him he was not interested in switching his service from Comcast. I tried to change the subject by asking if there was a separate bin for 3D blu rays; he didn't know.
The used car style questions continued. "I have just one last question for you," he finally said to my friend. "How much do you pay Comcast every month?

Cognitively, I don't believe in any fixed moral laws, so it would be better to lose 1 over 5 by most standards.
But realistically, I couldn't actually push someone into a train.

gonzaw, I've wasted way too much of my day on this discussion when I was supposed to be doing homework and now I'm writing a report at two in the morning. Would you mind giving me an abridged version? Something like. "This is what I think, which you appear to disagree. This is why I think this." Frankly, I don't think we're disagreeing on a whole lot, and I think you're misunderstanding some of my points. The discussions get bigger every time one of us replies and I'm utterly failing to get all my work done.

This is hardly a psycopath test but, rather, a how-much-of-a-utilitarian-are-you-and-to-what-lengths-you-will-go-to-to-implement-your-ideology test...If you fully embrace utilitarianism, then your dedication to the ideal will transcend any fear or regret of pushing the fat guy...

Okay, tldr:
There aren't "simple" active decisions (actions or inactions) that you can easily label as moral or immoral.
Like "murder is immoral" or "not saving 4 choking babies when you have the power is immoral" or "not pushing the fat guy onto the train to save 5 people is immoral".
Each action is done by a certain actor, in a certain situation/context, and all of that matters to determine the morality of that decision.
Aspects of the actor should be taken into account (intent for instance, and also what things affect his mind at that moment like I stated before, etc), as well as the context (which, coupled to the state of the actors mind makes him make the respective choice).
I think in both the baby example and the train example this should be taken into account.
It should also be taken into account in those "it's the same as choking/killing the baby/5 people yourself" situations, since again, those aren't that "simple".
So basically I disagree with your "ignoring the people/babies is evil, as evil as violently murdering them yourselves" point, and the whole stance on responsibility/morality respecting actions/inactions that you seem to have (with that kind of statements you post).

Thanks. I hate to undermine your long response, but I'm really supposed to be awake in about 4 hours.
See the things is, I most certainly am taking other things into consideration. If I wasn't taking details of the circumstance into consideration, then I would simply say "Murder is wrong. Don't flip the switch." But since I have taken into consideration things like, the ability to save other people, and why exactly this man is being killed, I come to a different conclusion. Also, when I first brought up the baby analogy where I was talking about somebody leaving their child in the care of a baby sitter, I intentionally made the situation has simple as possible. Why? Because I know and understand that the details change the situation. I specified that whatever it is that killed the baby (in most of our examples, a Lego brick), it was something that the babysitter witnessed and could have easily prevented. I declared it was evil for the babysitter to let this happen. If the situation had more (or different) details, such as, maybe the caretaker's life being at risk, or such as the caretaker not actually witnessing the incident to stop it, then I wouldn't be so quick to say that it's wrong. I've been demonstrating through the whole thread that these details matter to me. When I say something like "failing to save the baby is just as bad as killing it yourself," this statement implies that there are no extra details complicating the situation. I'm sorry if that needs to be said straight out for you to follow along with it, but come. Normally, if somebody says "murder is immoral," you can just agree, man. You don't have to say "murder is immoral.... exceeeept in this circumstance and this one and this one." Its already implied for you. Sorry, I'm rambling now. Moving on.
"it's the same as choking/killing the baby/5 people yourself"
I still stand by this. I've taken everything into consideration. These thought experiments were intentionally simple to have as few things to consider as possible, and these few things considered.... yes, I find the statement true.
Surely you must understand by now that I am considering the details, because otherwise I would say that flipping the switch is wrong because murder is bad. So... maybe you don't agree that not preventing a death (specifically, one you can easily stop) is as bad murder... but what detail is it exactly that's leading you to think that failing to to save FIVE people isn't as bad as ONE murder? There really aren't that many details to consider here... I know some people are saying this isn't about numbers because life is priceless (maybe it wasn't you, I don't recall) and that's a nonsense argument that again ignores details. Choosing the option of not flipping the switch is still making the argument that murder is at least five times as immoral as neglecting to save somebody.
EDIT: I don't know what the bystander effect is. I presume that's describes a situation where somebody decides not to perform a good deed because they think somebody else is bound to do it anyway? Perhaps I'm way off, but if that's the case... I still say everybody that neglects to act is responsible for failing to prevent five deaths.

It takes a "force" to make you do an action, while inaction doesn't require one.
Inaction doesn't necessarily require thought or decision, but action does most of the time (when you are not acting instinctively/routinely/accidentally/etc).
You don't decide to do an inaction most of the time. For instance right now you are doing a million inactions, most of which you are not even deciding about.
For example, you may wonder about whether you should get up your chair to get a snack or just get it later. You decide to not get up, so your inaction to get up is your decision.
However you also didn't start loudly singing, that's another inaction.
Did you decide to not loudly sing? No, it didn't even cross your mind, even if it was an inaction.
If you start to loudly sing though, could it happen from a lack of decision? Unless you have some broken stuff in your brain most likely no, it must have come from a decision.
Based just on that I can't say that inaction to do the opposite of X is the same as action to do X in a general sense as you are saying.
If inaction and action were just 2 black and white options then yes there would practically be no difference between them.
If they are B&W and someone gives you the "simple" situation of "Flip a switch to kill 1 person or don't flip it to kill 5", then it's basically the same as being in the situation of "Flip 1 switch to kill 1 people, flip another switch to kill 5 people, and you have to flip one or the other", at least in terms of the decision that must be made and its outcome.
But again reality doesn't work like that, so in reality I don't equate both of them even if in this "hypothetical" scenario they would.
But again if in this hypothetical scenario you assume inaction and action are black and white choices, then why analyze it in the first place? Just analyze the "Flip 2 switches, one to kill 1 guy and one to kill 5 guys" scenario instead.
In any other scenario rooted in reality however that's not true a priori, not even in your "babysitter doesn't save the baby from being choked" scenario; since again inaction and action are not black and white, specially not in anybody's brain when they are in those situations.
There can be a situation where that babysitter not saving the baby is immoral, and maybe a situation where it isn't. Again there's no "simple" situation and if you start creating hypothetical scenarios to make them "simple" then you can analyze them all you want but it's pointless since the abstraction doesn't represent reality.
You may analyze them to determine what someone is "ought" to do in a similar situation, in an "ideal" way, but not to determine the morality of the action a person in that situation did, and in that case it'd just be a guide and not a "set in stone" metaphysical rule.
Also numbers don't make a choice more "moral" just because.
Also specially not in someone's mind.
If you tell someone "Flip the switch or X people will die!" in a rush he won't really care if you tell him 5 or 11 people will die, at least not immediately (i.e before trying to think and analyze the situation) since at that point it's just a number in his head and he didn't conceptualize it to what it really means. If he did then great, we are in this "extraordinary hypothetical scenario"; but most likely it won't happen in real life.
Kind of how people ignore numbers in newspaper and a "Tornado killed 9 people" news is the same as a "Tornado killed 1000 people" one.
In the newspaper case you'd think it'd be "moral" to be more concerned about the 1000 dead guys news instead of the 9 dead guys one, and you'd say "Oh, someone that doesn't immediately think the 1000 dead people story is worse are immoral!", and we are in the exact same discussion as now.

The media call them terrorists, but they're nothing but cowardly murderersAugust 29, 2014 12:00 AM
Share with others:
The news is filled with articles about "terrorists." These people are nothing but cowardly murderers and should be labeled as such.
By using the label "terrorists," the media have admitted that these people have won some part of their war against us by granting that they have successfully inflicted fear and are terrorizing us, when in fact they are just making us mad as hell.
So rather than granting these cowards a victory of sorts, call them in print and in broadcast news what they really are: cowardly murderers. Who would want to join such a group?

They were all sold out of BF4 when I got there but still managed to score myself 2 copies of COD and one AC4, which I then sold for 30-$38 while keeping the trade in credit for the PS4 digital copies. :) Can't wait to get my hands on a PS4 so I can actually use them. Wish they had had BF4 though, but I'm not complaining. The games I traded in were so old I couldn't give them away.

Google posts Android 2.3 source code
updated 04:35 pm EST, Fri December 17, 2010
Android 2.3 source code goes up for developers
As promised with the launch of the Nexus S, Google's Open Source Project on Friday posted the source code for Android 2.3. The move both lets developers modify the base OS but also gives the go-ahead to companies making devices without the Google blessing needed for Android Market or certain official apps. All of the underlying features, including the built-in VoIP support, are the same as for more closed builds.
As with usual open-source projects, users can modify the code as much as they like or in some cases roll changes into the main release, although Google maintains full control. The download has been popular enough that Google has been asking developers to wait either until later today or later in the week.

MP3: Pusha T feat. Rick Ross – "Millions"
January 10, 2013 4 comments
All is right in the world when there is new Pusha T released, AND it features Ricky Rozay! As I was blaring the hook of "Millions in the ceiling, choppers in the closet!" the Rick Ross Roommate walked into the living room and remarked, "I am about both of those things." The thug life chose us. Look for this track on the upcoming Wrath of Caine mixtape.
UPDATE: We have the dirty version. Rejoice, profanity lovers!

Quiz: Where in Spain Should You Study Abroad?
For decades, students around the world have been flocking to Spain for study abroad -- it has consistently ranked in the top 5 most popular study abroad destinations, and is a global hub. It is known for its parks, museums, history, nightlife -- you name it, Spain has something to offer!
Spain has successfully integrated its modern industry and infrastructure with its history, preserving important landmarks such as the Royal Palace, the Teatro Royal, and the Guell Palace (be sure not to forget your camera!). Its architecture is unrivaled, and each street and neighborhood is more charming than the next.
Because of Spain's popularity, there are tons of programs for you to choose from in a ton of different awesome cities. Which city will be the best place for you to learn Spanish and immerse yourself in Spanish culture? Find out by taking our study abroad quiz below!
1. Which of the following describes you best?
- I am always on the go, so I need a big city that moves as quickly as I do!
- I need things to keep me busy, but I like to go at my own pace.
- I can go anywhere, big or small, as long as I'm not surrounded by tourists...
- I hate sticking to a schedule; I prefer to be flexible and go with the flow.
2. What are you most looking forward to in Spain?
- Partying every night, I'm ready for la vida loca!
- The architecture, the fashion, the museums... give me all of it!
- The chance to go somewhere new and experience a different culture.
- Tasting new dishes, I'm a total foodie and can't wait to try out new cuisine.
3. Which gets your mouth watering?
- Starting my morning with fresh churros dipped in thick hot chocolate, yum!
- As long as I can get my hands on some fresh fish or seafood, I'm all set.
- Paella sounds really good right now, or maybe I should cool down with some horchata?
- Anything goes, I love trying out different tapas!
4. You have a weekend off: how do you pass the time?
- Sipping coffee in an elegant plaza, wandering world-class museums and galleries, and watching a professional futbol game. !Vamos!
- Admiring surreal Modernista architecture, doing a lot of shopping, and finally laying out on the beach... oh, and hitting the clubs every night!
- Enhancing my knowledge by heading over to the planetarium, or maybe exploring the largest aquarium in Europe - I'm all about the arts and sciences.
- Watching a bullfight one day and attending a live flamenco show the next. Why not throw in a visit to a royal palace while I'm at it?
5. Which event would you most like to experience?
- San Isidro Festival, consisting of celebrations in the main plazas, traditional dancing, music, markets, bullfights, and other nonstop festivities.
- La Merce Festival, a weeklong celebration featuring open-air concerts, human towers, parades, fire runs, and dancing.
- Las Fallas, one of the noisiest festivals in Spain comprised of exploding fireworks, loud music, streetlight displays, and bonfires.
- Semana Santa, or Holy Week, with somber processions depicting the Passion and death of Jesus Christ, traditionally dating back to the late Middle Ages.
Now calculating your super-scientific quiz results....
Mostly 1's - Madrid: The largest Spanish city and also the capital, Madrid is bustling and noisy, but don't let it faze you. This huge metropolis has a diverse population and boasts a large artistic and cultural heritage. It's here you can find a vibrant nightlife scene, world-class art museums showcasing some of the finest Spanish works, and historic architecture contrasting sharply against modern-day skyscrapers. Madrid is perfect for those wanting their first taste of Spanish culture without losing the comforts of home. Museo del Jamon is a must-visit place to dine on a Euro glass of wine and a plate of traditional Jamon. If you're set on studying abroad in Madrid, check out USAC or Enforex!
Mostly 2's - Barcelona: Located on the Mediterranean coast, Spain's second-largest city offers a more relaxed pace than Madrid so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy your study abroad experience. However, Barcelona doesn't lack in things to do or places to see. Expect European urban style with a bohemian twist, an endless amount of museums, clubs, bars, famous beaches, and Modernista buildings. Big and lustrous, there's never a dull moment in Barcelona. The city center itself hosts coastlines and weekly fairs and markets, but outer cities offer bits of cultural variance that are unrivaled in other cities. Students suited for studying abroad in Barcelona should consider BridgeAbroad or CEA Study Abroad.
Mostly 3's - Valencia: Valencia is not as often visited as Madrid and Barcelona, but it is an up-and-coming city worthy of a visit in its own right. Valencia presents a mixture of the past and present, with Gothic-style buildings contrasting with the futuristic City of Arts and Sciences, designed by city native Santiago Calatrava. Sun-lovers will find solace in this beachy city on the Mediterranean Sea. After all of your sightseeing you're like to be hungry - try Spain's most famous food right where it was born "Paella Valenciana." Check out programs by ISA Abroad and UVA Study Abroad for an awesome study abroad trip to Valencia!
Mostly 4's - Seville: Some consider the real heart of Spain to be the autonomous community of Andalusia, where one can experience all aspects of a unique part of Spanish culture and history. The capital and largest city of this region, Seville, is classic Andalusia all rolled up into one. Here, you can witness bullfights, devour tapas, and watch authentic flamenco. Students who have studied abroad in Spain previously and are looking for a new experience will especially enjoy the challenges and delights of this oft-overlooked region. For those interested in studying abroad in Seville, consider programs by API Study Abroad or Adelante.

Višňovský considers Slovan offer
Despite the conclusion of the NHL lockout Sunday morning, with the NHL and NHLPA agreeing tentatively to a new collective bargaining agreement, and the proposed start of the 2012/13 NHL season, HC SLOVAN fans may not have seen the last of Ľubomír Višňovský yet. The popular defenceman received an offer from the club before today's match against Metallurg Magnitogorsk. Following the end of the Metallurg game, where Višňovský and fellow Andrej Sekera received the appreciation of a sold-out Slovnaft Arena, Višňovský admitted that he highly considered the offer from the club.
We hope to bring more details on the possible signing of Ľubomír Višňovský for the remainder of the 2012/13 KHL season in the coming hours.

Dry Branch Fire Squad
Over the course of more than a quarter-century of music making, the Dry Branch Fire Squad has become an institution in American acoustic music. Inspired by a fierce and uncompromising loyalty to the most traditional aspects of bluegrass, old-time, and Southern gospel music, the band is fueled by the musical vision and cultural commentary of Ron Thomason.
A native of southwest Virginia, Thomason founded the Dry Branch Fire Squad in 1976. He plays mandolin and guitar and sings lead, backed by Adam McIntosh on guitar and tenor vocals, Danny Russell on bluegrass banjo and harmony vocals, Mary Jo Leet on rhythm guitar and harmony vocals, and Charlie Leet on acoustic bass and harmony vocals.
The band has more than 20 albums to its credit, including Memories That Bless and Burn (2000) and Hand Hewn (2003).
This artist appears in Jubilee #122: Dry Branch Fire Squad.
