The conference will convene April 5-7, registration information can be found at http://www.cccu.org.
Following the success of the inaugural Changing Faces conference in the fall of 2011, the CCCU is pleased to offer another opportunity for Chief Diversity Officers and others supporting diversity efforts in CCCU institutions to gather and explore themes of faith and multiculturalism. Guest speakers include, William Paul Young, author of the world-wide best seller, The Shack, and Richard Twiss, President of Wiconi International, an organization that works for the well-being of Native people by advancing cultural formation, indigenous education, spiritual awareness and social justice connected to the teachings and life of Jesus, through an indigenous worldview framework.
Warner Pacific College is ideally suited to host this conference, with a multi-ethnic student population, a commitment to diversity as a way of life, and a strong understanding of the urban identity of the Portland metropolitan community. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage the culture of Portland, which serves as the framework for a college that is, "in the city, for the city."
"Warner Pacific is honored to host this important conference," said the College's President, Dr. Andrea P. Cook. "Reaching out to diverse and historically under-served populations is at the core of the College's mission and we are excited to share what we have learned with our colleagues and embrace the wisdom that those from other CCCU colleges have to offer, as we work together to create diverse and equitable institutions of higher education."
The CCCU is a higher education association of 170 intentionally Christ-centered institutions around the world. The 118 member campuses in North America are all fully-accredited, comprehensive colleges and universities with curricula rooted in the arts and sciences. In addition, 54 affiliate campuses from 19 countries are part of the CCCU. The Council's mission is to advance the cause of Christ-centered higher education and to help institutions transform lives by faithfully relating scholarship and service to biblical truth.
Founded in 1937 in Spokane, Washington, as Pacific Bible College, Warner Pacific is a Christ-centered, urban, liberal arts college dedicated to providing students from diverse backgrounds an education that prepares them to engage actively in a constantly changing world.

The Stunning Success of "Fail Better"
How Samuel Beckett became Silicon Valley's life coach.
Stanislas Wawrinka's defeat of Rafael Nadal in the final of the Australian Open last weekend was a milestone not just in the career of a 28-year-old Swiss tennis player but also in the posthumous life of one of the 20th century's most unswervingly pessimistic writers. This is the first time a Grand Slam title has ever been won by a player with a Samuel Beckett quotation tattooed on his body (barring some unexpected revelation that, say, Ivan Lendl got himself a Waiting for Godot–themed tramp stamp before beating John McEnroe in the 1984 French Open final). The words in question, inked in elaborately curlicued script up the length of Wawrinka's inner left forearm, are these: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
The quotation is from Worstward Ho, a late, fragmentary prose piece that is one of the most tersely oblique things Beckett ever wrote. But those six disembodied imperatives, from the text's opening page, have in their strange afterlife as a motivational meme come to much greater prominence than the text itself. The entrepreneurial class has adopted the phrase with particular enthusiasm, as a battle cry for a startup culture in which failure has come to be fetishized, even valorized. Sir Richard Branson, that affable old sage of private enterprise and bikini-based publicity shoots, has advocated from on high the benefits of Failing Better. He breaks out the quote near the end of an article about the future of his multinational venture capital conglomerate, telling us with characteristic self-assurance that it comes "from the playwright, Samuel Beckett, but it could just as easily come from the mouth of yours truly."
But the oddest and most thematically dissonant invocation of the quote I've ever come across—and I'm inclined at this point to go ahead and call it a motto—was at the closing session of a major technology conference in Dublin last October. The stage was shared by Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, Elon Musk (founder of PayPal, Tesla Motors, and SpaceX), and Shervin Pishevar (billionaire venture capitalist, romantic consort of Tyra Banks). The interviewer closed the talk—the dual focus of which had been Musk's extraordinary career and the role of the tech sector in Ireland's economic recovery—by giving the last word to Beckett: "I remember being told the Samuel Beckett line, that great line; he said 'Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.' And that's what keeps me going, in many ways."
This invocation of Beckett sat oddly with the chat that had preceded it, concerned as it had been with disrupting market verticals and wealth creation and giving people a shot at pursuing their dreams of success. And it seemed to me to echo like a discordant note against the gospel chorus of Primal Scream's "Movin' On Up," to which the billionaire investors and their new prime ministerial friend left the stage.
I only really became aware of the extent of Fail Better's meme-ification a couple of years ago, on reading an excellent piece by the novelist Ned Beauman in the New Inquiry, in which he tracks its absurd ubiquity from quotation in Timothy Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek to books with titles like The Complete Idiot's Guide to Great Customer Service. "Watching a liturgy from such a gloomy and merciless author getting repurposed to cheer up mid-level executives," he writes, "is like watching a neighbor clear out their gutters with a stick they found in the garden, not realizing the stick is in fact a human shinbone." Until I read Beauman's piece, I mistakenly thought the line had a fairly niche status as a platitude particular to literary types. I considered it a sort of writerly cliché-in-residence—something you'd likely find propped in postcard form on a novelist's desk or pinned above the head of at least one bleary-eyed graduate student in any given English department. (I see no point in hiding the fact that this was my laptop's desktop image through for the first year or so of my Ph.D., for what little good it did me in the long run.)
But I feel as though I've been coming across the lines everywhere since reading that piece. Wawrinka's inner arm is just the latest and most prominent venue for their appearance. Note this strenuously twinkle-eyed rendition by Liam Neeson, part of a vague PR initiative by the Irish government to somehow boost the economy by reminding America that we produced both the Waiting for Godot guy and the Taken guy. (I find it hard to watch this, by the way, without imagining Beckett on the phone to Neeson, calmly intoning "I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.") There's also an exhibition called "Fail Better" about to open at the Science Gallery in Trinity College Dublin—Beckett's alma mater, and my own—described on its website as a showcase of "beautiful, heroic and instructive failures."

Waste management in Singapore gets a boost.
TAP Centre for Environment, Waste Management to be set up in Singapore
A Training, Advisory & Promotion (TAP) Centre for Environment and Waste Management will be set up in Singapore in the second half of 2011. This follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Waste Management and Recycling Association of Singapore (WMRAS) with the International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) and the National Environment Agency (NEA) The signing took place at a workshop held in conjunction with the World Cities Summit. NEA said the TAP Centre will be ISWA's first-of-its kind training centre outside Europe, where the association is based. It will organise regional and international waste management training workshops, forums and tradeshows to establish an efficient waste management environment in Asia. It will also provide waste management advisory services on policies and master-planning considerations to regional organisations and governments.
Asia is currently generating about 1 million tonnes of waste per day and this is expected to increase to 1.8 million tonnes daily by 2025. According to a World Bank study, the cost of solid waste management in urban Asia was US$25 billion per year in 1999, and this figure is expected to increase to US$50 billion per year by 2025. Hence, NEA said waste management has become a crucial issue in the Asia Pacific region, potentially taking a toll on the environmental front and a country's financial ability to cope with rising waste management costs.

I bought this shirt in the bright yellow color for running at night. I love the material and think its a great shirt for layering, but it definitely ran big. I am 5'2" 125 lbs and ordered a medium because I was afraid a small would be too restrictive - the medium absolutely hung off of me.

Comments about Womens Brooks Podium Long Sleeve No Zip Technical Tops:
I bought this top because I got a Brooks Podium long-sleeved shirt as a race shirt last spring, and I really loved it. The race shirt I got must have been a unisex XS, because I ordered a women's XS and while it fits, the hem seems a lot shorter to me, which bugs me. However, it's a capable top for weather like we get in the fall and spring. I like to wear a sleeveless compression top underneath it.

Students, Educators Rave Over March2Success Program
April 17, 2007
FORT KNOX, Ky. (Army News Service, April 17, 2007) - The U.S. Army Recruiting Command is helping prospective recruits and other students improve their test-taking strategies and math, science and English skills through March2Success, a free Web-based program.
With a curriculum designed by Kaplan and Educational Options, Inc., the program is proving successful according to teachers and students using it.
"This has been a great tutorial for students preparing for standardized testing. This is the best test preparation program I have run across, even better than the semester ACT preparation class we used to offer students here," said Mr. Dennis McArthur, a career counselor from Bonneville High School, in Idaho Falls, Idaho.
The program demonstrates the Army's commitment to providing lifelong learning opportunities to American youth - whether they join the Army or not, said Mr. Terry Backstrom, an experienced education service specialist with USAREC.
"This is just another way we can give back to our communities and help the youth of America be more successful," he said. "We need them to be successful. But more importantly, the United States needs our young men and women to be successful, and March2Success can help them do that."
"By using March2Success, I was able to prepare for the ACT by using the practice tests that were provided," said Ms. Hannah Hagert, a student attending Augustana College, Rock Island, Ill. "These tests allowed me to focus on my weaker subjects, and strengthen my overall test scores."
The practice tests also helped her realize how important time management can be to taking and completing a standardized test, she said.
The positive feedback doesn't surprise Mr. Backstrom. "In today's world, tests are increasingly the end, rather than the means. The world relies on tests to determine who will graduate, get a job, receive a scholarship, or even enter a government career as a firefighter, police officer, civil servant or military servicemember. How well young men and women do on standardized tests can have a great impact on their future," Mr. Backstrom said.
Participants may select part of all of the sections offered though March2Success, and are free to repeat lessons. The course sections include: comprehensive English (language usage, reading, writing); integrated math (basic math, algebra, geometry, statistics); skills and strategies (test-taking skills for state assessments, college admissions, aptitude tests); high school preparation (introduction to study skills, and classes in English, math and science); SAT Program (SAT preparation, SAT Quiz Bank, online SAT writing workshop, online practice test with performance feedback); and ACT Program (ACT preparation, online practice test with performance feedback).
March2Success is available at  www.march2success.com. Registrants may request recruiter contact through the site; however they are not required to do so and will not be contacted without request. Personal contact information (address and phone number) is collected only from those who ask to be contacted.
(Mr. Christopher C. Calkins writes for the U.S. Army Recruiting Command.)

Constitutional Court Strikes Down Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill
Jim Burroway
August 1st, 2014
Breaking news , I am officially legal . The constitutional court in Uganda has declared anti homosexuality law 2014 null and void
— Dr. Frank Mugisha (@frankmugisha) August 1, 2014
At noon this morning Kampala time, Uganda's Constitutional Court has declared the draconian Anti-Homosexuality Act null and void. The Court said that the law was invalid because Parliament lacked the constitutionally-mandated quorum when it passed the legislation last December. Article 88 of Uganda's constitution (PDF: 469KB/192pages) requires that at least one third of members be present any time Parliament votes "on any question."
Still in celebration mood safely made it out of court amidst crowd of journalists & demos' by anti gay groups – UG anti gay law nullified
— Dr. Frank Mugisha (@frankmugisha) August 1, 2014
The court room was reportedly tense as people gathered this morning for the session to start at 9:30 local time (2:30 a.m. EDT). The court had heard testimony on Wednesday and Thursday over the quorum issue, and observers were expected the court to rule on that question today. As 9:30 came and went, the Court announced that they were putting off the morning's session until noon. Pastor Martin Ssempa reportedly became agitated as the morning progressed, and police had to step in to settle the situation down.
Pastor Ssempa seems to be engaging ALL the petitioners! Police officer has stepped in to cool down the tempers. #Petition008

When the Constitutional Court resumed at Noon, it read its judgment nullifying the Anti-Homosexuality Act.

Meanwhile, Ssempa's twitter feed went silent after the court's verdict. As of this moment, this was his last tweet:

— Martin Ssempa (@martinssempa) August 1, 2014
J. Lester Feder reports that LGBT activists are bracing for another round of violence following the court's decision:
The law's supporters, like Ssempa and the leadership of the Inter-Religious Council of Uganda, had been whipping up their supporters during the two days of hearings before the ruling, and LGBT activists expected a backlash if they won.
"Many people are going to retaliate and attack community members," said Kasha Jacqueline of the organization Freedom and Roam Uganda, another of the petitioners. "People are going to retaliate — not just the members of parliament and anti-gay groups and religious leaders, but in the community as well."
The Anti-Homosexuality Act provided a lifetime sentence for those who convicted of homosexuality. It also imposed a lifetime sentence for those who convicted of "aggravated homosexuality," which include "serial offenders" of homosexuality "or related offences." Related offenses include lifetime imprisonment for entering into a same-sex marriage, seven years for conducting one, five to seven years for advocacy by or on behalf of LGBT people, five years for providing housing to LGBT people, and seven years for providing services to LGBT people. The Act also provided for the extradition of any "person charged with an offence under this Act."
Before its passage, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill had been safely bottled up in Parliament, but observers believe domestic politics eventually took over and ensured the bill's passage. Originally introduced in 2009, the bill remained bottled up in the House, which failed in its last minute efforts to pass the bill before the Eight Parliament expired in 2011. House Speaker Rebecca Kadaga had spent much of 2012 and 2013 raising her profile in a possible bid to challenge President Yoweri Museveni in the run-up to the 2016 general elections, engineered the bill's reintroduction in Parliament in February 2012. It's passage appeared imminent at the end of that year when it became a political football in a larger fight over control of the country's newly-developing oil reserves. As Parliament tore itself apart over a contentious oil bill, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill rose to the top of Parliament's published Order Papers, which sets the agenda for the day, under the heading of "Business to follow," of actions to take place after the oil bill's passage. It was believed that the hugely popular Anti-Homosexuality Bill was being held close at hand as a potential unifying measure. But after Parliament passed the contentious petroleum legislation, it broke for Christmas and the Anti-Homosexuality Bill was quietly removed from the Order Papers when Parliament resumed in the Spring of 2013.
But behind-the-scene plans to swiftly pass the Anti-Homosexuality Bill without debate emerged in April 2013, when the opposition magazine Observer reported that a MP's were lobbying Kadaga to hold the debate in a closed-door session so that individual members could speak freely without having foreign donations to their pet projects or travel visas jeopardized. On December 20, Kadaga made a snap call to bring the Anti-Homosexuality Bill before the house for a final vote, despite the bill not appearing on the order papers for the day. Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi objected to the vote citing the lack of quorum, but Kadaga overruled Mbabazi and the bill passed on December 20.
Museveni's initial reaction was to wrote a letter to Kadaga criticizing Parliament's rushed approval about the bill. Among his many complaints were that the bill was passed without the proper quorum. He told representatives of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights in January that he would reject what he called the "fascist" Anti-Homosexuality Bill. But again, politics intervened. Mbabazi was also maneuvering to challenge Museveni's position at the same time as Kadaga, and he was already on record as objecting to Parliament's passage of the legislation. Museveni's about-face in February was seen by many as part of a larger effort to counter Mbabazi's efforts to build a rival power base within the ruling National Resistance Movement. Museveni signed the bill on February 24.
The bill's signing initiated a wave of anti-gay vigilantism in the press while the government raided several NGO's for allegedly "promoting" homosexuality. In March, a coalition of human rights groups petitioned the Constitutional Court, charging that the Anti-Homosexuality Act violated several constitutionally-guaranteed rights, including the rights to privacy, free expression, thought, assembly, association, civil participation, and the rights to be free from cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. It also charged that Parliament acted improperly in passing the bill without a quorum.
In Uganda, it's typical for court cases to proceed at a snails pace, with months passing between small bursts of activity. Cases often languish for years. So it was a significant surprise when the Court's first act came late last week with a snap call for both sides to present their cases on Wednesday and Thursday, which caught a lot of people off guard. State Attorney Patricia Mutesi complained that she wasn't prepared to proceed with her arguments and asked for a delay, but the court rejected that request. It heard testimony Wednesday and Thursday, and delivered its decision today. That lightning-quick movement is practically unprecedented, leading many to speculate on the politics behind the court's dramatic move. Museveni is planning to travel to Washington, D.C. next week to attend a summit of African leaders.
LGBT and human rights activists say they expect the Anti-Homosexuality Bill to be reintroduced in Parliament again, but it would mean starting the entire process over again, including motions to seek permission to introduce the bill, a certificate of financial implication from the government, and committee hearings. That certificate of financial implication is likely the most logical step for Museveni to step in to quash the bill. When the bill was first introduced, the certificate certified that there were no financial implications, but with several countries suspending or canceling foreign aid to Uganda over the AHB, the financial toll of reintroducing the bill is now known to be enormous. It is believed that foreign aid makes up from twenty to thirty percent of Uganda's GDP, and about twenty percent of the government's budget.

Fordham Makes List of Top Fulbright Producers
Contact: Janet Sassi
(212) 636-7577
For the second consecutive year, Fordham University has been named by the
Chronicle of Higher Education
as one of the nation's top-ranking research universities earning the highest number of Fulbright awards for U.S. students.
Fordham was ranked 18th among a select 30 research universities to earn double-digit Fulbright awards for the academic year 2009-2010. It tied with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with 13 awards each.
Northwestern University came in first with 32 awards. The University of Chicago finished second with 31 awards. This year's results appeared in the
Oct. 19 issue.
Fordham has experienced a consistent increase in Fulbright awards in the last three years, climbing from nine in 2007, to 10 in 2008 and to 13 this year. A 14th award was offered to student Anthony Cotton, a graduate student in International Political Economy and Development and in economics in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, but he declined.
"The success of Fordham University students in winning a record number of Fulbrights this year is a wonderful endorsement of Father McShane's vision of Fordham assuming its rightful place in the national and international academic world," said John Kezel, Ph.D., director of the St. Edmund Campion Institute for the Advancement of Academic Excellence. "It's a great tribute to the dedicated collaboration of Fordham's faculty and student body."
This year's 30 percent yield rate of 13 wins from 44 applicants was particularly high, too, said Kezel. He added that 22 Fordham students were chosen as finalists for the award—a showing that, he said, was stronger than many Ivy League schools.
To date, some 1,557 students out of 7,398 nationwide applicants have received Fulbright awards for the 2009-2010 year. The awards are sponsored by the U.S. Department of State and offer funded opportunities for yearlong research and study abroad.
Fordham's 13 awardees will be traveling to nine countries. Three of the awardees are first-generation Americans. Nine awards were won by students or graduates of Fordham College at Lincoln Center; three awards by students or graduates of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and one award by a student at Fordham College at Rose Hill.
Fordham's winners are:
• Anne Lieberman, FCLC '09, an African and African-American studies major, awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to Thailand for a project titled "Women in Muay Thai Boxing."
• Veronica Mollere, FCLC '09, a social work and visual arts major, awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Thailand.
• Jennifer Chang Li, FCLC '09, an international studies major, awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Korea.
• Gary Gabor, a GSAS doctoral student, awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to Belgium for "Boethius and the Transmission of Ancient Greek Logical Tradition."
• Keeran Murphy, FCRH '09, an English major, awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Korea.
• Paloma Gutierrez, who has earned a master of arts in International Political Economy and Development from the GSAS, awarded a Fulbright Bi-National Business Grant to Mexico.
• Matt DeSoi, FCLC '09, awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Germany.
• Mark Nelson, FCLC '09, awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant to Vietnam.
• Madeline Felix, FCLC '08, who earned her BA in theatre, awarded the Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Vietnam.
• Andrew Henscheid, GSAS '09, to Copenhagen, Denmark, to research "Love's Authority: Søren Kierkegaard and the Question of Autonomy."
• Allison Waid, FCLC '09, an international studies major, awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to China for "Independent and Unabashed: Young Rural Migrant Women Living Working and Dreaming in Wuhan, China."
• Jessica Mahlbacher, FCLC '07, awarded a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Hong Kong.
• Ali Musa, FCLC '09, a political science major, awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to Jordan for a project titled "Structural Affinities Between Supranationalist Political Parties in Jordan."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to approximately 14,700 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in Westchester, and the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y.

What If the 300 spartans beat the Persians at Thermopolae?
How would this change the course of history? Leonidas Forever!
And by extension, what if Luxembourg had defeated the Nazis?
All the other greeks who were at thermopylae get rather annoyed that the Spartans take all the credit?
What if the Les Bos had lost to the Persian redecorators? Mrs. Garrison forever!
Sorry...that episode was on again last night and I couldn't resist...
Tales from the Technoyurt! The Timelines of Geekhis Khan
Welcome, to the World of Mañana!! Your contribution is wanted!
The Thebans probably do not switch sides. Spartan prestige is not as high as it would be (the heroic death meant more to rally Greece than a victory would), in all, I think the Persians would still be defeated at Plataiai.
With a little thought...
I get the impression that only von Adler takes this thread seriously.
A couple of points - 1) The battle was lost when Hydarnes' Immortals outflanked the Hellenic position via the Anopia track and attack in Leonidas' rear. 2) It was a Hellenic force numbering between 4 and 8 thousand hoplites under the overall command of the Spartans that was conducting the defence,which was a holding action undertaken while the rest of central and southern Greece mobilised. This mobilisation was delayed by religous priorities.
Let's explore an alternative outcome in more detail.
Leonidas had posted the 1000 Phokian hoplites to protect his flank on the Anopia track - it was their home ground: there were several Phokian defensive works in the pass, one of which, the Middle Gate, had been renovated by Leonidas and was the position he chose to anchor the defence.
A small alteration would prolong the holding action - Leonidas dispatching Spartan officers to direct the Phokians. Instead of retiring to a hill thinking they were the Persian objective and being masked and bypassed, the Phokians form phalanx and dish out similar casualties to the Immortals as had already been inflicted by the main force. La Gaurde recule.
The defence is prolonged enough for the Karneia religous festival to be completed. The Spartan army would arrive at the pass 4 days later, based on their rate of march to Marathon 10 years earlier. We can expect similar deployments by the other Hellenic states as took place for the Plataea campaign the following year, with the addition, as von Adler points out, of perhaps 10,000 Thebans. There was already an advance force of 400 Thebans with Leonidas, probably the Sacred Band and auxilliaries.
Leonidas is now in a position to undertake an offensive, in restricted ground unsuitable for cavalry, with 45-50,000 hoplites. The stage is set for
a slaughter greater than Cannae, Carrhae and Adrianople; perhaps of all of them together if we take the highest reasonable estimate of Persian numbers.
What happens thereafter depends on the fate of the Hellenic fleet covering
Leonidas' flank at Artemesion. If events unfolded as OTL, they would be forced to retire. If this happens before the completion of the Karneia, landings take place behind the East Gate' Leonidas is assailed from the rear and is destroyed as OTL but leaving an even greater legend. If after the Karneia but before the arrival of the main forces, there is a chance - and I put it no more than that - of a succesful back to back defence followed by the destruction of the Persian army. More likely Leonidas is overwhelmed and 'Plataea' brought forward to that years campaign season, probably at
Chaeronea, the next choke point on Xerxes' line of advance.
Having retired down the Euboean channel in a post Karneia scenario, the Hellenic fleet would be presented with an opprtunity to hammer the Persian
fleet in restricted waters carrying out a landing. Note Leonidas will still probably be overwhelmed.
In both post Karneia scenarios I would think Xerxes, seeing the possibilty of an almighty cock up would turn over command to Mardonius and get the hell out of Dodge. This time however, minus a fleet to cover or carry him, he would have to withdraw by land to the Hellespont with Greeks, Macedonians and Thessalians rising on the news of Hellenic victories. He could well be cut down on the way.
In the instances of Leonidas being killed at the pass, history might proceed pretty much as it did. There might have been a change of monarch and revolts across the empire, but this was pretty much what happened every time there was a succession. If Leonidas and the fleet had held on until relieved and gained a massive victory? All that was holding the Greeks together was fear of Persia, the most that would have happened I think would have been a campaign or campaigns to liberate the cities of Ionia, the Greek Isles and Cyprus, after which normal service would be resumed.
Minus the Athenian Empire. The Delphic League was again a consequence of fear of Persia, that and Athenian prestige for Salamis, which of course doesn't happen. No League - no empire, No empire - no Peloponnesian War.
I think this is a long enough post. I can sketch further possibilities, but to do a proper time line justice I'll have to recall some loans and aquire more material. I have established however, I hope, that a Laconic victory is feasible with one small alteration to reality.
Cheers, this is fun.
Leistungsfähiger Amerikan, I thank you!
Must get some sleep, but I will post some more when I have refreshed my overview of OTL.
Wouldn't the Greeks eventually die of exaustion? As I understand it the Persians lost about 20,000 men in 3 days. With modern estimates of 250,000 and ancient estimates of up to 2,500,000 Persians, and if Xerxes is willing to win no matter what the cost, we're looking at a battle that could potentially last anywhere between a month and a year.

And this assumes that Xerxes is willing to keep pouring men into the breech irregardless of the cost, for as long as it takes to win, and that no parts of his army mutiny at this idea.
One other note: Xerxes himself may be dead by the time that the Greeks show up to aid the pass's defenders. IIRC, the Greeks at thermopylae inflicted substantial casualties on the Persian leadership. As I recall, their defense of Thermopylae resulted in the deaths of many generals, including two brothers of Xerxes, and at one point almost broke through to the king of kings himself. So a prolonged battle of Thermopylae may lead to more of the Persian leadership dying before the issue is decided. Obviously, it is hard to be sure whether or not any specifc people would die, but it is not unimaginable to see Mardonius, Hydarnes (especially if the Phocians fight off the Immortals), Artabazus, or even Xerxes himself falling to the Hellenic spears.

Video: Blake Shelton Slams Today Show and Also Debuts 'Cool'
The Voice judge and mentor, Blake Shelton debuted his new song, Cool on The Today Show. Before singing, Blake spoke with Savannah Guthrie and gave her a little dig about appearing on the show.
When Savannah mentioned to Blake that he likes to tweet drunk saying, "And you don't apparently have any rules about being sober when you tweet." Shelton shot back, "No, or doing this show, either!" Yikes. What is that supposed to mean Blake? Was that a jab at his willingness to self promote himself any way he can?
Shelton also spoke with Matt Lauer and the rest of the gang, along with Carson Daly and weighed in on the new judges of The Voice, Usher and Shakira, first joking and saying, "they suck." Then on a more serious note he said that the new coaches are doing better than he and Adam had thought they would do and they appeared to do their homework making his job more difficult.
We have the complete interview on page 2 and his new song Cool, as well.

Food, Music and Fun at Festival de la Familia
Sacramento, are you ready for a fun-filled day of delicious tacos and carne asada, exciting bachata dancers and beautiful ancient art? The 20th annual Festival de la Familia promises all that and more this Sunday at Cal Expo.
The Festival de la Familia is a cultural extravaganza that pays tribute to the people and cultures of Latin American countries by celebrating their customs and traditions and highlighting the variety of Latin influences within our local community.
"It's really a celebration where we appreciate other cultures in a safe and family-oriented environment," said Veronica Delgado, chairwoman for the festival's Arts and Culture Pavilion.
One of the things the festival is known for is plenty of music, and this year the organizers are going all-out with multiple stages open throughout the day featuring live bands representing a variety of Latin styles and sounds, dance performances, a puppet theater and even salsa lessons from professional dance instructors for anyone who wants to give it a try.
In addition to the many singers, dancers and live bands performing throughout the day, the headliner act of the event will be Sonora Santanera, an iconic musical group from Mexico playing their recognizable topical sound.
"We're really going to put on a show," said Susie Cano-Guzman, festival president and food vendor coordinator. "It's a very fun event."
The festival will also showcase foods from more than 20 Latin countries, Cano-Guzman said. Food vendors will be set up in booths and walking around with carts offering such treats as paletas (fruit bars), raspados (snowcones) and gazpacho – a specialty from the Michoacan region of Mexico – and much more.
Cano-Guzman said she suggests attendees come hungry, because the food is going to be "phenomenal."
"There will be fresh, authentic foods from Mexico, El Salvador and Peru," Cano-Guzman said. "And, new this year, we'll have Cuban food, too."
Many local restaurants that have provided food to the festival in past years will be returning this year, including Carmen Taqueria, Baqueros, and Frank Levya's Xochimilco Mexican Restaurant and Grill.
Not only will there be opportunity to eat plenty of food, but parents and kids will be able to make food, too. Margaret Gomes, chef and nutritional instructor with the Live Food Academy will be on-hand throughout the day teaching how to make healthy food for the family with a simple, fun, hands-on approach.
One of the highlights of this year's festival will be the "Latin Culture Walk" exhibit in the Arts & Culture Pavilion.
"We've really enhanced the arts and culture exhibits this year," Delgado said. "It will focus on a variety of media, from photography to sculpture to mixed media. It's just incredible what these artists have put together."
The pavilion will feature a host of ancient artwork and literary works from Latin people through the ages along with a variety of contemporary art displays and more than 40 local artists will be on-hand to discuss their work and answer questions in this interactive exhibit.
Delgado said local artist, illustrator and photographer Felipe Davalos worked with the artists on the new arts exhibit to direct them in fine-tuning their projects and "helped them create something great for the community."
Nicole Zamora, festival events chairwoman says the all-day event will also include many activities for children, including arts and crafts activities and a chance to meet the players of Sacramento Gold semi-pro soccer team.
"The players will be out there to show off some drills, play with the kids and take pictures with fans," Zamora said. "It's going to be a lot of fun for everyone who comes."
Teddy Herrera, the bicyclist from Elk Grove who just returned from cycling over 11,000 miles across the United States will be on hand at one of the kids' stations in the Children's Activities section of the festival talking to kids about health and fitness, and leading kids in games like jumprope and hopscotch.
At one of the many crafts tables available on Sunday, kids will be able to make traditional "papel picado," bright colorful tissue flags with cut-out designs that are hung on strings to wave in the wind.
"The papel picado are used in many Latin countries for all sorts of festivities," said Cano-Guzman. "The bright colors add to the environment of celebration."
Zamora said attendees won't want to miss the parade featuring dancers, musicians, and performers, which begins at 1:30 p.m. and is a festival highlight for families and children of all ages.
"It's like a traveling cultural exhibit right before your eyes making its way from one end of the festival to the other," Zamora said.
Delgado said volunteers, committee organizers and sponsors have all worked closely over the past year in a community effort to get everyone involved in making the event interesting and fun.
"Volunteers are the legs we stand on," Delgado said.
The all-volunteer event makes use of 400-500 volunteers to help with children's events, watch the stages and guide people through exhibits. Volunteers are still needed for the day of the event, and anyone interested in helping can sign up online here.
The day's events start with a Catholic mass at 9 a.m., and then entertainment kicks off at 10 a.m. and continues until the gates close at 6 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased at the gate for $10 for adults, and $7 for seniors 65 and over. Kids 12 and under are free. Discount tickets are also available online here.

The Three Hour Diet
Jorge Cruise, a man who claims to have been 40 pounds overweight, has developed a diet plan designed to eliminate "belly fat." According to Mayo Clinic, fat in the abdominal area has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. For many people, the belly is a problem area, and this diet plan specifically targets it.
The 3-Hour Diet is a trademarked food plan that involves eating small portions every three hours throughout the day. This plan is very controlled and has a regimented eating schedule. By eating at specific times throughout the day, Cruise says dieters keep their metabolism running on high, reducing body fat.
How It Works
According to EveryDiet.org, the promise of the 3-Hour Diet is that by eating every three hours, dieters can lose belly fat and maintain a healthier weight. Accordingly, dieters are told to eat breakfast at 7 a.m., have a 100-calorie snack at 10 a.m., lunch at 1 p.m., a second 100-calorie snack at 4 p.m., dinner at 7 p.m., and then soon after dinner enjoy a 50-calorie treat. To follow the diet correctly, dieters must make sure they stop eating at least three hours before going to sleep.
Cruise developed this diet based on the belief that if you go for more than three hours without putting food in your body, it goes into "starvation mode." In other words, your body stores fat and burns muscle, slowing down your metabolism as if preparing for a period of hunger. Eating consistently will, according to Cruise, keep your metabolism moving quickly, helping you burn fat all day.
The Promise
The 3-Hour Diet promises that you'll get rid of stubborn belly fat without giving up your favorite foods or having to commit to a full-fledged exercise program. In fact, exercise is optional with this program. The 3-Hour Diet promises that within two weeks of joining the program, your levels of the stress hormone cortisol (which Cruise believes causes belly fat) will be reduced, and so will your waistline.
According to the program's website, you can drop 10 pounds during the first two weeks and then lose additional weight every week after that. The diet is advertised as one that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of weight loss. It also claims to be easy enough to follow that you will be able to stick with it until you reach your goals.
The 3-Hour Diet is all-inclusive. There are no prohibited types of food. In fact, some of the most maligned foods are allowed in small portions. Dieters can eat occasional fast food chicken, chocolate candy bars, bacon, and red meat. This is alluring for those who aren't ready to give up their favorite foods.
Cruise believes that there are no bad foods, just bad portions. Following this methodology, the 3-Hour Diet is fairly sensible. It takes into account the undeniable fact that calories are what determine weight gain and sets strict calorie limits for each meal and snack. The 3-Hour Diet's meal plan also encourages eating a balanced diet of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fruits and vegetables.
One danger is that the frequent eating involved in the 3-Hour Diet can offer an opportunity for abuse, especially if you have problems overeating to begin with. If portion sizes aren't controlled, frequent eating can actually cause you to gain weight. And the experts don't even agree that regular, small portions necessarily translate into weight loss. Another issue is that the 3-Hour Diet does not address the necessity of exercise, saying that although it may help with weight loss, it's not required.
Cruise's focus on controlling the psychological aspects of weight gain and weight loss is admirable. Stress eating is associated with increased abdominal fat. Healthy stress management is crucial for successful weight loss. The 3-Hour Diet does a good job tackling some of the eating habits that lead to excess body fat which lead to consuming excess calories at the wrong times.
However, every weight-loss program should include some type of physical activity. People become overweight when they eat more calories than they use, and one of the causes of the obesity epidemic in the United States is an inactive lifestyle. Dieters who combine the 3-Hour Diet with a healthy exercise program may very well see positive, long-term results.

Saw my new psych today. We agreed I should taper off buspar. and try out Klonopin. Day 1 begins tomorrow with half a pill of .5 mg Klonopin. I'm intrigued to see how this goes.I tried Klon 5 years ago during a very stressful job. Now I'm deal with a regular job but more GAD-created stress. So I hope I respond even betterto Vitamin K. When I took it last time, I did not have any addiction issues. And two of my friendshave happily been on Klon for some years.I've also learned the importance to reclaiming my sense of humor. I went through the day today looking for humor and lightness in all situations. And just searching for the humor made me smileand feel better. Anyway, I'll let people know how I do on Klon. I hope I'm one of those thatresponds well and that can take it over a long period of time. (The other med my doc suggestedwas gabapentin.)
Today, Sunday, I took 1 mg Klonopin. Instead of just mellowing me, it made me tired.But yesterday, I'd take .5 mg in am and .5 in pm. That seemed to lead to a new relaxation in the evening.So tomorrow, I'm going to tak .5 mg pill in morn. And .5 mg pill in pm. That seems to be a better flow for me.Anyone else have a similar experience?

Tallahassee, FL - "We will not end sexual assault until we're honest about what a problem it is in our communities," said executive director of Florida Council Against Sexual Violence (FCASV) Jennifer Dritt.
According to the National Women's Study, 1 in 5 women will actually report a sexual assault. That's 82% of cases going unreported. The study found only 7% of all reports are false.
"You can't say there are this few successful prosecutions and that means it's doesn't happen. And that most people are making false reports. There's no relationship between those two things."
The Refuge House in Tallahassee helps 100 women a year in rape crisis situations.
"For those victims who are there wondering now reading the paper whether it's safe for them to come forward to seek help to know they're not alone that help is available and that help is possible," said executive director Meg Baldwin.
Dritt adds there's no rush to jump to conclusions.
"There isn't any reason to vilify either one of the parties. It does not helpful to vilify our survivor. It's not helpful to assume guilt or innocence and you can support survivors and kind of withhold judgment and let the system run its course."
The Refuge House has a 24 hour hotline for sexual assault at 850-681-2111.

Assistant Secretary, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs
QUESTION: Secretary Gordon, first of all, thank you very much for your time.
How would you comment on parliamentary elections in Georgia? Central Election Commission is still releasing results, but we can say that President Saakashvili's ruling party lost majority in parliament.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: First let me just congratulate the people of Georgia on this election. It was closely fought, it was competitive, and the results are being respected, and that's what a democratic election should be -- so in that sense I think it's a historic election for Georgia and really for the region, and if parties continue to act as they have in respect of rule of law and institutions, it will be a model for the world.
QUESTION: U.S. representatives along with European observers monitored elections. Can you say today that elections were free and fair?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: I think so -- this was one of the most closely monitored elections anywhere ever, and we, the United States, played a big part in that because we've been saying for months that the most important thing for Georgia in this election is not so much who wins -- and of course we don't choose sides -- but that the election be a democratic model, and ODIHR, the OSCE's office that monitors elections, supplemented by many other groups, judged that it was a competitive environment and I think you can say that this was a free and fair election. Was it perfect? No election ever is, and there were some irregularities, and I think ODIHR has made recommendations for how Georgia can continue to strengthen its electoral laws, but bottom line, it was an open, competitive election and really positive for Georgian democracy.
QUESTION: The leader for Georgian Dream, Mr. Ivanishvili, [inaudible] do you believe that both parties will be able to work together or we just expecting some changes in Georgia?
ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: It's certainly in their interest to work together, and that's what we would like to see. Mature democracies, including our own in the United States by the way, sometimes have to go through periods of so-called cohabitation, where a leader from one party works with the leaders of the opposition party, and what is important is that both sides respect the rules. They have some differences -- those differences came out during the campaign, and nobody expects them to go away -- but if everybody is committed to the process and to rule of law, then the country as a whole will be stronger and that's what we expect from both sides.
QUESTION: Do you plan any meetings with the new majority leaders sometime in the near future? Here in Washington or in Tbilisi? On official level.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: Sure. First we need to give this process time. As you said, all of the votes haven't even been counted yet -- we need them to be certified; and then the new parliament will sit; and then at that point, the new parliament will approve a new government, and it's only at that point that we in our government will have counterparts, but of course we would expect to meet with them early on.
Georgia is a close, important partner of the United States, regardless of who is in the government at any given time, and we'll very much look forward to working with the current President and with the new parliament on so many areas of common interest.
QUESTION: Again, thank you so much for your time.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY GORDON: Thank you.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Who cares man, its not supposed to be true
Even though this article is obviously written firmly tongue in cheek, the section on the relationship between the Third Reich and Imperial Japan probably rings true. The nazi loonies really did go all over looking for "aryans" and thought that the Japanese, although non-white, were very 'aryan' in how they lived. No, scratch that, very aryan in the way the Germans THOUGHT the Japanese lived. Their notions of Japan were totally preconceived and this lead to lots of problems in the Axis later on such as the Germans not understanding why the Japanese would not attack Russia to help them.
Urban Dictionary
Whoever created this stole the whole first section pretty much directly from the Urban Dictionary article.
isnt this the best example ever of a wapanese person?? maybe she should be mentioned somewhere

Extensions Module Manager Articles Category
From Joomla! Documentation
To 'add' a new Articles Category module or 'edit' an existing Articles Category module, navigate to the Module Manager:
- Select Extensions → Module Manager
Click the 'New' button and click on Articles Category in the modal popup window.
To 'Edit' an existing Articles Category module, in the Module Manager click on the Articles Category Module's Title or click the Articles Category module's check box and then click the Edit button in the Toolbar.
This module displays a list of published articles from one or more categories.
Module Options
- Title. The title of the module. This is also the title displayed in the front end for the module depending on the Show Title Form Field
- Show Title. (Show/Hide) Choose whether to show or hide the modules title in the front end. The title will be the one in the Form Field above.
- Module Position. Choose the module position you wish this module to be displayed in. A custom module position can be entered for use with the load position plugin or the position button can be pressed to select a module position from the template.
- Status. (Published/Unpublished/Trashed) The published status of the item.</translate>
- Access. The viewing level access for this item.
- Module Ordering. This shows a drop down of every module in the position that the current module is in. This is the order that the modules will display in when displayed on in the front end as well as in the Module Manager.
- Start Publishing. Date and time to start publishing. Use this field if you want to enter content ahead of time and then have it published automatically at a future time.</translate>
- Finish Publishing. Date and time to finish publishing. Use this field if you want to have content automatically changed to Unpublished state at a future time (for example, when it is no longer applicable).</translate>
- Language. Item language.
- Note. Item note. This is normally for the site administrator's use (for example, to document information about this item) and does not show in the front end of the site.
- Mode. (Normal/Dynamic) If Normal Mode is chosen, then simply configure the module and it will display a static list of Articles on the menu items you assign the module to. If Dynamic Mode is chosen, then you can still configure the module normally, however now the Category option will no longer be used. Instead, the module will dynamically detect whether or not you are on a Category view and will display the list of articles within that Category accordingly. When Dynamic Mode is chosen, it is best to leave the module set to display on all pages, as it will decide whether or not to display anything dynamically.
Menu Assignment
[[Image:Help30-module-manager-menu-assignment-screenshot-<translate> en</translate>.png|670px]]
<translate> On this tab there is a list of menu items. You can choose between On All Pages, No Pages, Only on the pages selected and On all pages except those selected from the List.</translate>
<translate> If the latter two options are selected a list will show with all the menu items on as shown in the screenshot above. This allows you to assign modules to some but not all pages, and by selecting the menu links that you want the module associated with you can customize on what pages modules appear/don't appear. See How do you assign a module to specific pages? for more information.</translate>
Module Permissions
Dynamic Mode Options
- Show on Article Page. (Show/Hide) Choose whether to display the module on article pages or not. If hidden the module will only display itself dynamically on category pages.
Filtering Options
- Featured Articles. (Show/Hide/Only) Choose whether featured articles are displayed or not in the list of articles. Selecting only means only featured articles are displayed.

Like many heroes, Reilly McLean, 9, speaks like he did not have time to be afraid.
Reilly was riding his bike
"I was freaked out…," Reilly said. "All I could think was 'I have got to get the dog away from her.'"
Moments later he did, courageously grabbing the dog's collar and pulling it away. It was only as Reilly was pulling the dog away that he thought he was in a
"I realized he could turn around and bite me."
Fortunately the dog did not harm him and almost miraculously Marie escaped life threatening or permanent injuries, although she does have some minor scarring.
"I am really grateful for Reilly. If it wasn't for him I don't know if anyone else would have helped her," said Marie's mom Lori Anderson.
The dog inflicted seven puncture wounds, most of which were on Marie's right arm and leg. She was treated at Grande Ronde Hospital but did not need any shots because the dog, which was quarantined by law enforcement officers, was found to have been vaccinated for rabies.
Marie's mother was home at the time but did not know that her daughter had been attacked until she walked into her house on First Street.
"She was crying and said a dog attacked me. I said 'What?'"
Lori Anderson said the attack, which occurred last month, changed her daughter.
"She's a lot more cautious around dogs."
She even gets nervous around her family's dog when it gets excited, her mother said.
Marie will be a fifth-grader at Island City Elementary School this fall, Reilly McLean, will be a fourth-grader at Central Elementary School.
Shirlette Kenworthy of La Grande, Marie Anderson's grandmother, said Reilly McLean's act of bravery was truly heroic.
"He could have done lots of things but he stayed by her side,'' Kenworthy said. "He put himself in harm's way and didn't think twice about it. It is pretty amazing that such a young man would do such a thing. I'm proud of him. It says a lot about his character."

Industrial Enzymes
ENZYMES for Today's Global Market
Since 1994, Dyadic has manufactured and sold enzymes for the animal health and nutirition, pulp and paper, food, and textiles industries. Dyadic's global market reach and manufacturing capabilities, paired with our large-scale 150,000-liter fermenters in the U.S. and Europe, enable us to market and sell over 55 liquid and dry enzyme products to more than 200 customers in approximately 50 countries.
Dyadic's integrated C1 technology platform enables the discovery and development of innovative enzyme products, thereby providing customers with value-added solutions for their pressing business needs. Furthermore, because Dyadic has developed an integrated system for use in a high-throughput robotic gene discovery system, expression and large-scale manufacturing, researchers have a greater chance of commercializing what they discover, bringing cost-effective products to market in a shorter time period.
Dyadic's global presence
By continuing to leverage our evolving biotechnology infrastructure, Dyadic is expanding its product offerings within the $1.8 billion enzyme market. Having dedicated and knowledgeable sales personnel located in North and South America, Europe and Asia, Dyadic is able to provide customers with excellent service and support. Through the placement of inventory in strategically located high volume ports, Dyadic delivers superior customer service in key markets throughout the world.
Enzymes: Catalysts in nature, in our bodies, in industries
Enzymes are very large, complex protein molecules consisting of intertwined chains of amino acids. They are formed within the cells of all living creatures, including humans, animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, and microscopic single cell organisms. Although enzymes are found in all living cells, they are inanimate chemical compounds that are highly biodegradable, posing no threat to the environment. They are catalysts for chemical reactions, at work in nature, in our bodies, and in industry.
Enzymes control many vital functions — such as the metabolic processes that convert nutrients into energy — and they are highly efficient at increasing the reaction rate of biochemical processes. Each enzyme has a highly specific target, breaking down or synthesizing certain compounds, and operating under specific temperature, pH and pressure.
Because there are so many different enzymes, they are categorized according to the compounds they interact with to produce a reaction. Commonly used enzymes include lipases, which split fats into glycerol and fatty acids; amylases, which break starch down to produce simple sugars; proteases, which break down proteins; and cellulases, which break down cellulose.
Enzymes can be manufactured for commercial purposes by superheating a fermentation broth under aseptic conditions to form a completely sterile nutrient medium. The nutrient is then converted into a desired enzyme by using a carefully selected microorganism — such as Dyadic's C1 — in the presence of oxygen. The use of the broth, microorganism, nutrients and operating conditions determine the type and yield of each enzyme. Once fermentation is completed, various centrifugal, filtration, and precipitation processes separate the enzyme from the fermentation broth.

Costa Fascinosa Cruise Review by BusyBSA: Costa Cruise
Overall Member Rating
Costa Cruise
Destination: Mediterranean
Embarkation: Istanbul
A new Ship, beautiful! The rooms are big enough and most facilities needed are available, clean and neat. Definetely buy the Boys and Girls Softdrink package that they have, you save a bit with this. Everything worth doing on the ship is however charged for...Grand Prix and Golf Simulator, use of Spa Steam rooms, 4D Movies etc.
Our waiter and our room attendant was stunning, the chefs/cooks and receptionist could learn somethng from them, they were quite rude when asking for something, like "how dare you ask attitude" (Had to ask for butter to be refilled or teaspoons at the coffee stations) Our safe did not work and when you phone the number they tell you to, no one answers, so we left it after reception just told us to keep on trying.
Food was good, but average, their coffee sucks. It is in fact an italian ship, but expected more staff to be able to speak and understand english as they had Guests from all over the world, all their onboard entertainers and shows are More also not in english, so not so enjoyable and could not really join in on some of them.
Furthermore we enjoyed the trip and ports, their daily program is well organized and planned with lots of info. I would however say, unless you get a Costa cruise at a very good price, choose another cruise company. Less
