text: 'Showtime' director denies rift among hosts Posted at Apr 28 2012 02:48 PM | Updated as of Apr 29 2012 01:48 AM MANILA, Philippines -- Bobet Vidanes, director of noontime variety program "It's Showtime," on Saturday appeared on camera to disprove rumors of a growing rift among the show's hosts. In the same episode, Comedian-host Vice Ganda also put on record that rumblings of his alleged clash with Vidanes were products of "malicious minds." "Sa mga nakalipas na panahon po ay nagkakaroon ng hindi magandang mga usaping tungkol sa programang ito at tungkol sa pamilya namin na gawa-gawa at inilikha ng mga malisyosong isip, malisyosong bibig, malisyosong dila, at malisyosong kamay na sumusulat ng mga kasinungalan upang ipaalam sa mga tao at manloko," Vice Ganda said. "Ngayon, pag magsara tayo ng season, isasara natin ang negativivity upang magpatuloy ang positivity so programang ito." During his speech, Vice Ganda was surprised by the sudden appearance of Vidanes, who was wearing a shirt with a print saying "I Love Vice Ganda." The two proceeded to hug, which promptly moved the comedian to tears. "Tuluy-tuloy ang 'Showtime' dahil ito po ay hindi programa, ito po ay pamilya. Sama-sama tayong nagsimula, at sama-sama tayong magtatapos nito sa panahong itinakda ng Diyos." "It's Showtime" marked its fifth season finale on Saturday (April 28).

A ski is narrow strip of wood, plastic, metal or combination thereof worn underfoot to glide over snow. Substantially longer than wide and characteristically employed in pairs, skis are attached to boots with bindings, either with a free, lockable, or permanently secured heel.
Originally intended as an aid to travel over snow they are now mainly used recreationally in the sport of skiing.
Skis are also fitted to vehicles dedidcated to traveling over snow such as snowmobiles and snowcats.
The Nordic ski technology was adapted during the early twentieth century to enable skiers to turn at higher speeds. New ski and binding designs, coupled with the introduction of ski lifts and snowcats to carry skiers up mountains, enabled the development of alpine skis. Meanwhile advances in technology in the Nordic camp allowed for the development of special skis for skating and ski jumping.
Ski nomenclature is relatively simple. Examining the ski from front to back along the direction of travel, the front of the ski (typically pointed or rounded) is the "tip", the middle is the "waist" and the rear (typically flat) is the "tail".

PASADENA, Calif. and NEW YORK, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The 20 Million Minds Foundation (20MM) has partnered with Learningpod™, a new startup backed by Kaplan, to support the addition of a critical piece to the adoption of open textbooks – a platform that provides companion question sets for free.
"Learningpod is filling a huge void in the open community with this free collaborative tool that gives students various opportunities to master content," said Dean Florez President & CEO of 20MM. "By providing a platform where textbook and course aligned practice questions can be authored and shared with the world, Learningpod is tremendously growing access to resources proven to improve student performance."
Learningpod already offers one of the largest collections of high-quality questions online, with over 30,000 questions available for practice and reuse. However, the collection continues to grow as more educators who have adopted open textbooks create and assign Learningpod question sets, called "pods," to their students based on textbook chapters and daily lessons.
"The use of customized pods in my physics class has been a game-changer for many students," says professor Erik Christensen of South Florida State College, and expert reviewer for OpenStax College's College Physics, an initiative from Rice University. "The practice pods are helping build confidence in their problem-solving abilities, which helps them better understand the concepts and improve their exam scores."
To accelerate this process, Learningpod has implemented its Open Textbook Program, which converts textbook questions into an interactive format and makes them available online to students and teachers at no cost. In addition, The 20 Million Minds Foundation is sponsoring a grant program for instructors and departments interested in authoring chapter aligned questions for open textbooks while using Learningpod in their courses.

As the rapid adoption of containers continues, companies are finding that they lack the operational tools to understand the behavior of applications deployed in these containers, and how to identify issues in their application infrastructure. For example, how are multiple containers within an application impacting each other's performance? If an application's service is degraded, which container is to blame? In the case of an application outage, what was the root cause of the outage?

Enigmatic plaques: Mysterious markers on city streets still puzzling
ST. LOUIS -- Unless you're hunting for them, the weird markers embedded in downtown streets in St. Louis don't draw much attention.
For those who do notice, the words make little sense.
The shoe box-sized marker read: "TOyNBEE IDEA IN KUbricK's 2001 RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER."
The plaques, numbering more than 100 and found on dozens of city streets across the U.S. and in three South American countries, present a riddle that may never be solved: What in the world -- or on Jupiter, for that matter -- does English historian Arnold J. Toynbee have to do with filmmaker Stanley Kubrick and with raising the dead?
St. Louis has three of the "Toynbee plaques," or "tiles," as they are often called. Kansas City has one.
Some have called the markers the urban equivalent of crop circles. Others say they're just quirky underground graffiti, some done by copycats.
No one has ever been caught or taken credit for this caper that dates back to at least the 1980s.
A Web site, www.toynbee.net, one of the best sources of information on the tiles, is dedicated to mapping and discussing the phenomenon.
Chris Clark went to the site after she stumbled across the plaques in the 1990s in St. Louis.
"The pleasure of these plaques is not so much in the solution and 'whodunit,'" Clark said. "It's hearing the wild theories and stories that surround them."
Some have tried to make the connection to Kubrick and his sci-fi classic "2001: A Space Odyssey." Internet searches return a load of theories, but the connection with the late filmmaker is vague, at best.
"The meaning of the message on the tiles is pretty open-ended," said Justin Duerr, a Toynbee tile fanatic. "You can draw a lot of connections between the two, depending on how far out you want to stretch it."
Another variation reads: "TOyNBEE IDEA IN MOViE 2001 RESURRECT DEAD ON PLANET JUPiTER." Sometimes, there are other cryptic messages as well.
Duerr lives in Philadelphia, the place where many people believe the strange practice of stamping the message on city streets began. A plaque in Santiago, Chile, lists an "A. Toynbee" and a Philadelphia address, but the address -- while real -- provided no solution.
In 1983, an article in The Philadelphia Inquirer told of a man named James Morasco who said Toynbee's theory of bringing dead molecules back to life on Jupiter appeared in Kubrick's 1968 film. Many have argued that no such reference exists, but Jupiter is part of the movie.
Toynbee was best known for his writings on the rise and fall of civilizations.
In the late 1990s, Duerr became obsessed with the idea and the plaques that appear to be melted into the streets like crayons on a hot day.
Last year he developed the Web site www.resurrectdead. com to document the tiles, and he says he plans to make a movie on the subject.
Duerr said even after Morasco's death in 2003, new plaques appeared in Philadelphia and elsewhere.
At one time, Duerr said, the tiles could be found every other block. Many have since been paved over or worn down to nothing by traffic.
Many of the plaques look identical, as if made with a cookie cutter. Others change the wording slightly and take on a colorful style of their own. Some include political messages.
One Web site reported a Toynbee tile in Pittsburgh that offered instructions on how to make the plaques using several layers of linoleum and glue. Another tile reads, "You must make and glue tiles!"
That was enough to persuade Duerr to make a tile of his own and slap it to a street in Philadelphia. He said his version looks almost like the others.
His actions present the most obvious explanation: Other people were intrigued enough by their encounter with the tiles to make their own in various cities.
Duerr said there's even a name for such behavior: A meme, pronounced "meem," meaning a cultural action that is transmitted and repeated over and over.
"I don't believe there's a lone gunman," Duerr said. "I like to look at it as art that exists for a reason other than being in an art gallery."

Challenge: The Doğuş Holding conglomerate has a portfolio of over 25 companies, which includes Doğuş Otomotiv, the country's prime importer for all cars sold under the Volkswagen umbrella. For its OtoMotion visitor park and showroom near Istanbul, Doğuş needed visualization that would make customers feel part of an exclusive automotive experience, with showcased marques such as Porsche and Lamborghini. Solution: Barco developed and installed an entire range of display systems at the OtoMotion park. It includes both single- and three-chip DLP projectors with light outputs ranging from 6,000 up to 30,000, and a full-blown, multi-channel curved display system. Barco's durable, powerful and versatile projection equipment can be found in OtoMotion's theaters, cafés, meeting rooms and entertainment zones. Why Barco: The great advantage for Doğuş Otomotiv was that they had one address to turn to for all projection needs, because Barco possessed such a wide range of visualization. "Barco had been known to Doğuş Otomotiv for a long time," explains Hamdi Yanik at Armoni, "and they were keen to work with them on basis of their outstanding image quality and experience in the industry. Barco simply had the best systems to offer."

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
The Law Professor began the article with this assessment: "It's been a few weeks since the victories in the marriage cases at the Supreme Court, and maybe it's time for the political left to own up to something. You know those opponents of marriage equality who said government approval of same-sex marriage might erode bans on polygamous and incestuous marriages? They're right. As a matter of constitutional rationale, there is indeed a slippery slope between recognizing same-sex marriages and allowing marriages among more than two people and between consenting adults who are related. If we don't want to go there, we need to come up with distinctions that we have not yet articulated well."
A polygamous family in the West
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
7/20/2013 (2 years ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: Professor Kent Greenfield, American prospect, polygamy, incest, gay marriage, homosexual marriage, Windsor opinion, Justice Kennedy, Deacon Keith Fournier
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - In an honest and potentially explosive article written for the American Prospect, a self identifying liberal/progressive left wing magazine, Boston College Law Professor Kent Greenfield told the truth that many Cultural Revolutionaries behind the movement to change the definition of marriage have tried to deny. The article is entitled The Slippery Slope to Polygamy and Incest and can be read here.
The Law Professor began the article with this assessment: "It's been a few weeks since the victories in the marriage cases at the Supreme Court, and maybe it's time for the political left to own up to something. You know those opponents of marriage equality who said government approval of same-sex marriage might erode bans on polygamous and incestuous marriages?"
"They're right. As a matter of constitutional rationale, there is indeed a slippery slope between recognizing same-sex marriages and allowing marriages among more than two people and between consenting adults who are related. If we don't want to go there, we need to come up with distinctions that we have not yet articulated well."
Now, let me explain the importance of this admission. Law Professor Greenfield supported the radical restructuring of the definition of marriage affirmed in the US Supreme Court's recent Windsor decision. He supported using the power of the State to enforce a moral and legal equivalency between homosexual and lesbian partnerships and marriage between a man and a woman.
People who defended marriage against the Homosexual Equivalency movement prior to Justice Kennedy's indecipherable and horrid opinion in the Supreme Court Windsor opinion were accused of being alarmist, or even homophobic. Now, one of the architects of the Cultural Revolution acknowledges they were actually giving an accurate assessment.
Greenfield continued: "The arguments supporters of same-sex marriage have made in court do not sufficiently distinguish marriage for lesbians and gay men from other possible claimants to the marriage right. If marriage is about the ability to define one's own family, what's the argument against allowing brothers and sisters (or first cousins) to wed?"
"If liberty protects, as Kennedy wrote ten years ago in Lawrence v. Texas, the case striking down Texas's anti-sodomy law, the "right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life," why can't people in polyamorous relationships claim that right as well? If it's wrong to exclude groups because of prejudice, are we sure the uneasiness most of us feel about those who love more than one, or love one of their own, shouldn't count as prejudice?"
The activist Law professor addressed some possible arguments which might prevent the ultimate outcome of this recent Supreme Court precedent opening the door to polygamy, incestuous marriages and other such relationship configurations. This very danger was occasioned by the manufacture of a new right to marry bestowed upon lesbians and homosexuals by the US Supreme Court.
He suggested that these arguments be developed by the Left in order to attempt to distinguish homosexual and lesbian 'marriages' from these other couplings. In short, to attempt to prevent the opening to polygamy and incestuous marriages. They include what he calls 'ickiness', the potential injury to children and the argument that incestuous relationships and polygamy are coercive and a matter of choice - not genetically programmed as he apparently believes homosexuality and lesbianism are.
However, Greenfield leaves little doubt, as evident in the manner of his discussion, that he sees the weakness of the arguments and doubts their effectiveness in holding back the ultimate effect which was unleashed by the Windsor opinion and the activist strategy in its wake - to compel every State to recognize same sex marriage. He concludes with this stark opinion:
"If these distinctions do not hold water, we have two options. We can continue to search for differences that make sense as a matter of constitutional principle. Or we can fess up. We can admit our arguments in favor of marriage equality inexorably lead us to a broader battle in favor of allowing people to define their marriages, and their families, by their own lights."
Justice Kennedy unleashed a whirlwind which threatens the common good of society. How tragic it is that a Catholic who is on the highest bench has paved the way to legal, social, moral and cultural anarchy. Of Course, he tipped his hand as a relativist in his opinions in Casey and Lawrence v Texas by opining that "at the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life."
That now often quoted gnostic statement is simply metaphysical nonsense. Some of the Justices of the Supreme Court have apparently decided they are the new alchemists of our age. They claim they can change the structure of reality with the stroke of their judicial pen. They no longer even pretend to rely on precedent, let alone the Natural Moral Law. They have decided the law is what they say it is, following the path of the legal positivists.
They are wrong, even if they presently weild a lot of temporal power. Marriage and family have been inscribed by the Divine Architect into the order of creation. Marriage is ontologically between one man and one woman, ordered toward the union of the spouses, open to children and formative of family. Family is the first vital cell of society; the first church, first school, first hospital, first economy, first government and first mediating institution of our social order.
Marriage as existing solely between one man and one woman was not an idea manufactured by the Christian Church. It precedes Christianity. Though affirmed, fulfilled, and elevated by Christian teaching, the truth that marriage can exist only between one man and one woman is not based on religion or revelation alone, but on the Natural Moral Law, written on the human heart and discernible through the exercise of reason. The future of a free and healthy society passes through marriage and the family.
This claim of the existence of such a Natural Moral Law is the ground upon which every great civilization has been built. It is the source of every authentic human and civil rights movement. This Natural Moral Law gives us the norms we need to build truly human and humane societies and govern ourselves. It should also inform our positive law or we will become lawless and devolve into anarchy.
The precedent established in the Windsor opinion, as this proponent of the Cultural Revolution now admit, leaves no room for any limitation on what can constitute a marriage under its rationale (or lack thereof to be more accurate). The Supreme Court had no authority to redefine marriage. It acted beyond its proper constitutional role and contrary to the Natural Moral Law which transcends religions, culture, and time.
Experience and history have shown us that if the government redefines marriage to grant a legal equivalency to same-sex couples, that same government will enforce such an action with the police power of the State. This will bring about an inevitable collision with religious freedom and conscience rights. It has already begun.
The fact that this Law Professor proponent of the Cultural Revolution admits the implications of the Supreme Court Windsor ruling only makes the necessity of a unified response by the defenders of real marriage, between one man and one woman, all the more urgent and clear.
