The man and woman need not be a "couple" prior to marrying.
Sexual identity labels are irrelevant. Marriage is a recognition of the male female union, and what that union produces, children. There have been court cases over the past 150 plus years that have stated procreation is a function of marriage.

Real marriage has always been and will always be a committed relationship between one man and one woman. Demanding it ain't so doesn't make it so.
It is the only relationship that reproduces naturally, a father and mother raising their children.
It is the only relationship that is the birthing place of every single other type of relationship.
It is the only relationship that reunites two completely unique parts. A complimentary union, instead of a duplicated half.
It is the only relationship that sexually fit together by design. There is no abusive violation of design.
It is the only relationship that restores a male and female to the very original roots of our creation, pre-gender.
It is the only union that blends two different genders bringing perfect balance. A same gender union lacks diversity and is off balance.
All this says nothing about the cultural, historic and religious distinctions that marriage wholly embraces.
It clearly has, needs and deserves a special and unique definition. It is absurd and sacrilegious to equate ss couples.

He must have permission from the "mother Church."
A gay rights organization is calling on Utah Gov. Gary Herbert to apologize for suggesting homosexuality is a choice and for calling decisions by other state leaders to not defend same-sex marriage bans the "next step to anarchy."
Then the question is, how will the "mother Church" control the masses?

If you really wanted to equate to marriage, ss couples would match themselves to the norm: A heterosexual couple who gets married with full intentions to have children in the setting nature established after millions of years of evolution.
But that won't work will it?
So what do ss couples do? They claim equality with hetero couples with procreation medical issues, old couples who have already had children, and couples who have a choice NOT to procreate. ALL of those situations can be remedied to allow mutual procreation.
Ss couples? NEVER! Even when you use default exceptions for hetero couples, ss couples are an epic fail!
But even before that disqualification, you ignore the vast difference between a union of diverse genders. At every aspect of comparison, a duplicate gender couple is vastly distinct and half the diversity a marriage creates.
Your demand for everyone to deny reality is setting up a horrible consequence. Ss couples will forever experience a sense of inferiority when their relationship is placed next to a real marriage. The sad reality is, the children involved will pay the worst price.

Cereals are extremely important
crops for human consumption. They account for over 50% of human energy and
protein needs, and cereal plants occupy two-thirds of all cultivated land.
Although cereals breeding have been very successful in developing improved
varieties using conventional tools and methods in the past, recent advances in
cereal genomics have made it possible to analyze the architecture of cereal
genomes, leading to an increase in our knowledge of the genes that are linked
to key agronomic important traits. Nowadays most research efforts focus on
understanding the genetic basis of traits of agronomic relevance and the
application of genomics tools for the improvement of cereals. The International
Conference "Translational Cereal Genomics" will cover the following research
topics: Model Systems in Cereals Epigenetics and Evolution of Cereal Genome
Genetic Resources, Natural Variation of Cereals Cereal "Omics" (Genomics,
Proteomics & Metabolomics, etc.) Genetics & Molecular Mapping of
Quantitative Trait Loci Application of Genomics in Cereal Breeding Sequencing
and Bioinformatics of Cereal Genome Molecular Markers, Marker Assisted
Selection & Molecular Breeding in Cereals Mutant Resources (TILLING,
ECOTILLING, DART etc.) for Cereal Gene Discovery Cereal Doubled Haploids Heterosis
and Hybrid Breeding of Cereals Breeding for Grain Quality, Processing,
Nutritional and Aroma Traits Breeding of Cereals for Abiotic and Biotic Stress
Tolerance Genetic Transformation of Cereals and Cereal Biotechnology Amongst

With the kinds of experiences I've had in my life, I keep thinking they might pull this under the rug from us and not allow us to make money with it. At this point, I could handle an ETF or ETN with NO contango so all you'd have to do is wait for calm times to buy then sell during volatile times. Of course, buying UVXY didn't work for me. $733 of my money went to $20 in one year. So I'm kind of thinking of buying the dips on this. Even dollar cost averaging could possibly work with something like this. I don't eliminate the possibility that the fun times may end for this symbol though. Because there was an article somewhere they mentioned there's going to be a sort of "non-decaying" (if I understand correctly) VSTOXX index in Europe If that works out, I wonder if eventually it may appear in North America
The current returns from XIV are extremely nice, but... had you been able to buy this in February of 2007, you would have lost 90% of your investment by December of 2008. Now in fairness, 2008 was a pretty remarkable year (as in, remarkably volatile), but a VIX back up much closer to 20 could easily happen. I'm not saying it's headed back up in the very near term (sure wish I knew how to predict that!), but over time it's bound to happen. Turn off QE, and things would probably get ugly fast.

Any thoughts on value of this bike linked above?
I'm looking for a bike to ride, not a restoration project.
I'm also considering a new Surly Cross Check, or Raleigh Clubman.
Looking for a light tourer/commuter. I'll be using it to commute to work 7 miles, and for weekend trips to nearby parks, camping out, so I will need at least a rear rack.
I could swing the cost of the new bikes, but am always looking for a deal too.

Steve Kizer was doing that college coaching thing, 22 seasons of it, in fact, when he came across a new opportunity.
Now in his eighth season as Skyview High School's head coach, after one as an assistant, Kizer is loving every moment of that new opportunity.
"Right now, I would do this forever," Kizer said. "I love my job. I don't even think of it as going to work. I wouldn't want to do anything else."
Kizer has led the football team to the program's first state championship game appearance. Skyview will take on Skyline of Sammamish at 7:30 p.m. Saturday night in the Tacoma Dome for the Class 4A title.
Kizer, 52, coached for two years at Western Washington, 14 at Walla Walla Community College, then was an assistant at Eastern Washington University for six years.
Family life changed him, and Vancouver came calling. When his wife, Karla, gave birth to their son Luke, Kizer started thinking about an alternative to the grind of college coaching. Football had to remain in the picture, and as most good coaches, he was a good teacher.
He saw the Skyview job open and jumped at it, without knowing much about Vancouver.
"I'd driven through on the way to Portland," Kizer said.
That first year, a transition from college to high school, he was considered the assistant head coach, with the promise that the job would be his the next season.
It all has worked out perfect, Kizer said, for him and his family.
"What a great place to live," said Kizer, who also is a full-time teacher at the school. "Really, from Day 1, everywhere we went, they treated me and my family awesome. Just a great community. And great schools, too. This district, and throughout Vancouver, these are the best schools you are going to walk into in this state. Especially Skyview."
Oh yes, he is all Skyview blue, always talking big about the school, not just his football team.
But it is the football program that has made Kizer a mini-celebrity. In his third season, the Storm went 11-1, losing a close game in the state quarterfinals. In 2009, the advanced to the semifinals. The Storm have won four consecutive league titles and five of the past six.
Now, Kizer and his players are in Week 14 of the season, playing for that first-place trophy.
"I feel extremely fortunate and extremely proud to be running this, to be the head coach of this team," Kizer said. "The kids bought what we were selling. They should get all the credit."
Kizer also said he appreciates Kym Tyelyn-Carlson, the school's principal, and former principal Ed Little for their support in hiring assistants who are teachers first. Kizer's assistants consist of history, math, and English teachers at Skyview.
"That's how we were able to turn this thing around, when we were able to hire young, energetic coaches who played college football and are great teachers," Kizer said, noting that Skyview went a combined 6-14 in 2004 and 2005.
Since that 6-14 start, Kizer's record is 53-17. And no, he does not miss college coaching.
"In high school, it's more about the game and it's still fun," he said. "It's just as exciting, just as much of a challenge, but without it feeling like a job."
He also remembered playing the game.
"The best time of your life is high school football," he said.
Now he is living that all the time.

NFL using L.A. as wedge to get stadiums built elsewhere
The Dalai Lama came to San Diego and sadly had nothing to say on the Chargers' new stadium issue. However, in a classic case of one-upping The Lama, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, using his entire power cord, went to Minnesota in an attempt to raise the dead.
Which he may have done.
The effort to get the Vikings a new stadium had expired until Roger (who strangely took along Steelers boss Art Rooney instead of Tim Tebow) visited St. Paul to meet (read strong-arm) the Minnesota state legislature and Gov. Mark Dayton. After Goodell's sermon, the senate committee Friday narrowly approved a public subsidy to aid in the building of a new, football-only stadium.
Of course this thing's finish line can't be seen, but the Vikings will play another season in the Metrodome, despite an expired lease. Interestingly, the possibility of moving the franchise to Los Angeles was discussed, although L.A.'s movement toward a new stadium is constipated.
But L.A. hardly stands as the elephant in this new stadium room.
"There is no ultimatum, but we did clearly talk about L.A.," Minnesota Sen. Julie Rosen said. "We clearly did talk about that as an open market."
The governor seemed to view the visit a bit differently, saying: "They were here basically to say, "This is it, folks."
That's where the strong-arming comes into play. L.A. scares everyone. Why, I don't exactly know, except maybe Tinseltown bluster makes people believe their movie is fact and not fiction.
But it's obvious why Goodell and his posse aren't taking a trip to San Diego, where the Chargers have been trying to get a new stadium built for a decade. The time isn't right.
"Roger did meet with the mayor (Jerry Sanders) a while back (November) and we recently met with Roger at a dinner in L.A., where he was being honored," Chargers stadium point man Mark Fabiani says. "Dean (club President Dean Spanos) and I talked with him before and after the dinner. He's paying close attention to our situation here and I think he'd come out if we asked him.
"I believe this shows that the league clearly wants to keep teams in their present cities and will do whatever's possible to keep a franchise from moving."
Goodell has said that time and again, but the commissioner remains an employee. A powerful employee, for sure, but he has 32 bosses, and if one of those captains wants to sail away — as we've seen with the Raiders, Cardinals, Browns, Colts and Oilers/Titans — there's really not much he can do about it. Except these franchises are running out of places to move where they'll build zillion-dollar stadiums.
Meanwhile, in San Diego, the anticipated how-to-finance-a-new-stadium report by New York-based Lazard has been delayed until later this year, which may push the lame-duck Sanders out of the loop on the issue. The Chargers hope to bankroll a special 2013 spring election for voting on the stadium plan, but everything seems premature at the moment.
"Obviously, the $200 million we're going to get (from the NFL for a new stadium project) is a big step; it's huge," Fabiani says. "There is some good news. There's the $200 million, and there seems to be a consensus on the type of facility we want, a retractable roof, multipurpose. We're still split on the site, between the East Village and 10th Avenue Marine Terminal (the best site).
"And I think the city finally has realized that the cost of operating our present site (Qualcomm Stadium, at around $15 million a year) is enormous. We've finally broken through on that. The existing site is a bad deal for taxpayers and selling it could generate a lot of revenue for the city."

The repeal of Britain's Corn Laws in 1846--one of the most important economic policy decisions of the nineteenth century--has long intrigued and puzzled political scientists, historians, and economists. Why would a Conservative prime minister act against his own party's interests? The Conservatives entered government in 1841 with a strong commitment to protecting agriculture; five years later, the Conservative Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel presided over repeal of the protectionist Corn Laws, violating party principles and undercutting the economic interests of the land-owning aristocracy.
The variety of constitutional designs found in democratic governments has important effects on policy choices and outcomes. That is the conclusion reached in Democratic Constitutional Design and Public Policy, in which the constitutional procedures and constraints through which laws and public policies are adopted--election laws, the general architecture of government, the legal system, and methods for amendment and reform--are evaluated for their political and economic effects.
The United States's post-World War II emphasis on activist fiscal policy for short-term economic stabilization was called into question in the 1960s, and by the late 1980s was superseded by the view that fiscal policy should focus on long-run structural concerns. For the past two decades both public policy and economic research emphasized monetary policy as a stabilization tool. But there remain issues in American macroeconomic policy having to do with budget deficits, present and projected, as well as a recent revival of interest in fiscal policy as a stabilization tool.
A country's stance on international trade is an important component of its economic welfare. Yet relatively little theoretical attention has been paid to developing accurate methods to assess trade policies, leaving practitioners and policy makers with ad hoc solutions that lack theoretical foundation. In this book, James Anderson and Peter Neary present a new approach to gauging trade restrictiveness. Extending the standard theory of index numbers that apply to prices, output, or productivity, Anderson and Neary develop index numbers that apply directly to policy variables.
The contrasting trends toward earlier retirement and greater longevity have resulted in steadily increasing retirement costs over the last forty years. One important factor influencing early retirement decisions is the expansion of retirement benefits; but studies predict that most countries, particularly those with early retirement incentives, will be unable to meet future pension and social security obligations.
Colombia, once a model of fiscal discipline for other Latin American nations, has seen its fiscal situation deteriorate since the early 1990s. Higher government spending, taxes that did not keep pace with expenditures, and severe recession led to an unsustainable debt-to-GDP ratio of 52 percent in 2002. Short-term tax increases, even coupled with spending reforms, have not restored Colombia to fiscal balance.
This NBER series presents current academic research findings in the areas of taxation and government spending. The papers included provide important background information for policy analysts in government and the private sector without making specific policy recommendations.The papers in Volume 19 address issues relevant to current policy debates as well as questions that are of longer-term interest.
Japan, the world's second largest economy, has suffered from a prolonged period of stagnation and malaise since 1991. Subpar growth, failing banks, plummeting real estate and stock prices, deflation, unprecedented unemployment, and huge government liabilities have persisted, despite extraordinary fiscal and monetary policy fixes.
This new edition of the leading text on business and government focuses on the insights economic reasoning can provide in analyzing regulatory and antitrust issues. Departing from the traditional emphasis on institutions, Economics of Regulation and Antitrust asks how economic theory and empirical analyses can illuminate the character of market operation and the role for government action and brings new developments in theory and empirical methodology to bear on these questions.
In 2000, the average driver in US metropolitan areas endured 27 hours of traffic delays, a rise from 7 hours in 1980. In many other countries, traffic delays are considerably worse than in the United States, and in developing countries urban traffic congestion is increasing with alarming rapidity. For fifty years, economists have been advocating congestion pricing as the way to deal with urban traffic congestion; but today, even after some successes, congestion pricing is encountering considerable political resistance.

S&C's IntelliTeam® CNMS Improves Communication System Reliability at ENMAX
CHICAGO, March 5, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- S&C Electric Company, a smart grid leader shaping the future of power delivery, today announces the successful deployment of an IntelliTeam® CNMS Communication Network Management System at ENMAX Power Corporation, one of the largest power distributors in Alberta, Canada. IntelliTeam CNMS is helping ENMAX quickly troubleshoot communication system issues, reducing the system's operating costs.
ENMAX, which operates a large distribution automation system in Calgary, relies on mesh radio communications to ensure proper performance of the automation system. With over 500 S&C SpeedNet(TM) Radios deployed on their power system, ENMAX sought a dependable network management solution to better manage and monitor these radios. IntelliTeam CNMS is making it easier and more cost-effective for ENMAX to detect and proactively manage issues that could impact communication system performance, such as impending performance issues with older backup batteries.
"Reliable communication systems are an important ingredient of our distribution automation system, for which response speeds are critical," says Graeme Cowie, Engineering Systems Automation, ENMAX. IntelliTeam CNMS complements the utility's advanced, automated smart grid, which already uses S&C's IntelliTeam® II Automatic Restoration System, S&C automated overhead and underground switches and IntelliRupter® Pulseclosers.
IntelliTeam CNMS offers a real-time, web-based solution for monitoring and managing radios applied on utility power systems. Its intuitive interface has many views including a deployment view integrated with Google Maps. Authorized users can monitor current and archived data on SpeedNet(TM) Radio networks of all sizes, as well as manage each individual radio and effect configuration changes. The software displays a chronological list of different level alarms and events, and can alert users via email when they are not logged in. All of this is accomplished through standard browsers without the need to install specialized software on client PCs.
"As smart grid deployments expand, utilities require new tools to manage these critical systems," says Mike Edmonds, vice president--Strategic Solutions, S&C. "The IntelliTeam CNMS installation at ENMAX demonstrates how communication management systems can improve the reliability and operating costs for smart grid systems." Citing a recent example at ENMAX, Cowie says, "We were having difficulty communicating with an automated switch, but IntelliTeam CNMS helped us identify the cause of the issue in about five minutes. With our previous method, that would have taken at least 30 minutes more, and we would not have known the root cause or duration of the equipment malfunction." About S&C Electric Company S&C, headquartered in Chicago, IL, is applying its heritage of innovation to address challenges facing the world's power grids and is thus shaping the future of reliable electricity delivery. The mission of employee-owned S&C is to continually develop new solutions for electricity delivery, fostering the improved efficiency and reliability required for the intelligent grid. Additional information about S&C is available at www.sandc.com.

Respond to Review of Dr. Tam's Vegan Haus
by eatinggreen
Review: We endured close to an hour in a taxi through sometimes stagnant traffic to try this place... having tried most of the top reviewed spots we wanted to venture out into something different and figured a shop run by a naturopath would have a health focus, so picked this one. We got there quite late, about 4.30pm so near their closing time. Their food is pre-made on the counter - a 'point to what you want' type affair. Most of the dishes were mock meat based, which we don't like, so we went for a bean and squash dish, a vegetable soup, another bean dish (which had mock meat in it but we had no other options so just ate around it) and a lumpia (local style garden roll). This was accompanied by some brown rice. We were surprised to find that none of the food was heated up - it was served at room temperature. Guess that's better than zapping it of its energy with a microwave!?? The rice was a bit hard and crumbly, not terribly enjoyable really but sufficient - better than white rice anyday. The vege soup was great despite being cold; we wished they had more. The mock meat and bean dish was enjoyable even though we left all the mock meat. The beans and squash dish was soy sauce based and tasted Japanese - my husband felt right at home and seemed pleased with the unexpected dose of familiarity. The lumpia stole the show - the sauce was quite different to anything we've tasted before. It was a transparent jelly which was squeezed on as needed. We promptly ordered another one, as the overall meal was decidedly lacking on freshness and the contents of the lumpia appeared to be mostly raw veges. The ambience of this store is of an everyday canteen. Certainly nothing special but clean and starkly comfortable. There were also a few health foods for sale there: dates, seaweed (Chinese in origin though), handmade soy sauce, etc. as well as some cabinets full of breads made with white flour and little else (zero nutritional value so we left them alone). Whilst enjoyable, the meal somehow left us feeling tired afterwards.. perhaps it was the lack of freshness, or the skewed balance of ingredients (lots of beans, not so many veges). We felt a doctor could have done better in promoting healthy vegetarianism rather than resorting to the use of mock meats (the contents and nutritional value of which are questionable at best). Still, good to see some vege options in this relatively remote location in Manila. And if the locals enjoy it then that can only be a good thing.

International development committee urges giving more money to NGOs and civil society instead of World Bank and EU
Pressure to meet spending targets as Britain's foreign aid budget rises to 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) could lead to the Department for International Development (DfID) making poor decisions, MPs warned on Thursday.
The UK's official development assistance (ODA) budget grew by 2.1% to £8.6bn in 2011, with DfID accounting for £7.7bn (much of the rest goes to the Foreign Office). By next year, when aid hits the UN target of 0.7% of GNI, total ODA is expected to rise £11.3bn (a reduction of £254m from the autumn statement of 2011 because of weaker growth). The coalition government's decision to stick to Labour's pledge of meeting the UN target has angered many Tories, who believe that DfID's budget should not be spared cuts faced by other departments.
At the end of 2011, DfID had to move forward payments of about £450m planned for 2012 to meet foreign aid targets. DfID also increased by £130m the value of payments on some other projects, prompting concern among MPs that DfID will be unable to ensure that British taxpayers are getting value for money.[view whole blog post ]

"Dib Dib Dib and all that" Mafikeng by CatherineReichardt
Mafikeng Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 21 photos
Not many people go to Mafikeng as tourists ... and neither did I.
I had to attend a meeting with North West Province's provincial authorities in Mmabatho organised just before the Christmas break, which is over a four hour one way drive from Johannesburg. My schedule was too restricted to stay overnight, but I didn't want to take the risk of driving exhausted, so once my meeting was finished - and mindful of the opportunity to put another uncolonised destination on the VT map, I mentally checked down my options as I grabbed a spot of lunch ...
Mmabatho ... mmm ... an artificial apartheid creation as the capital of the bizarrely fragmented Bophuthatswana bantustan (tribal homeland) and now recycled into the administrative capital of North West province. Only an oversized soccer stadium in the middle of the veld - passed over as a World Cup venue - and an expanse of government offices to recommend it ... think I'll pass on that level of excitement ...
Mafikeng ... a historic town so close to Mmabatho that it's impossible to say where one ends and the other one starts ... didn't they have a siege there? Much more interesting ...
They did indeed have a siege, but that was back in the days of the Empire, when South Africa was embroiled in the Boer War and 'Mafikeng' was mispelled as 'Mafeking'. At that time, Mafeking was a dusty town on the border with the Bechuanaland Protectorate (now Botswana) ... and unwittingly the point of convergence for some monumental celebrities, including Baden Powell (commander of the British forces and latterly the founder of the Scout movement), Sol Plaatje (luminary of the embryonic African National Congress) and Winston Churchill's cousin Lady Sarah Wilson, who is generally accepted as having been the first woman war correspondent. It was also the location of one of the largest Boer War concentration camps in which Afrikaaner women and children were interned under unspeakable conditions and died in droves.
It is only since I started writing on VT that I have started to explore the Boer War history of my adopted country, and I have been appalled by the extreme suffering that was inflicted on the Afrikaaner nation during this conflict - a reality that gets conveniently forgotten in British righteous indignation over the establishment of German concentration camps in the Second World War that were based on the model that they had themselves created. There are tours of the Zulu Wars battlefields in KwaZulu Natal, but the equally interesting legacy of Boer War history is largely negected from a tourist perspective: for those keen to learn more about this fascinating but tragic period of colonial history, also refer to my Potchefstroom, Machadodorp and Klerksdorp pages.
It is interesting to note that in fact the name 'Mafikeng' is itself a corruption of the term 'Mahikeng', meaning 'the place among the rocks'. The history of warfare in this region predates the Anglo Boer War, as this was the location of an intense period of inter-tribal warfare at the beginning of the nineteenth century. This conflict was known as the 'Mfecane' (meaning 'Crushing'), when the territorial expansion of the Ndebele under the leadership of Mzilikazi - a former lieutenant of Shaka Zulu - lead to wholesale destruction of communities throughout the area.
- Pros:A forgotten town of immense historic significance, and well worth a stop en route for Botswana
- Cons:Rather remote, so not worth a specific trip unless scouting or the Boer War are your passion(s)
- In a nutshell:Spiritual home of the woggle

Gas prices have been inching higher every day - with the average price across North Carolina costing about $3.07 a gallon. That's 15 cents higher than a month ago - and 34 cents higher than a year ago.
Prices in Greenville are above average right now at about $3.15 per gallon. Many drivers say they're feeling the pain at the pump - saying they've had to get creative with their finances as prices to continue to rise.
ECU economics professor Dr. Carson Bays says as gas prices increase, people tend to drive less, car pool or find other other ways around town. Dr. Bays says as our economy recovers, and countries like India and China keep expanding, gas prices will continue to increase. "If all countries simultaneously start expanding - putting their workers back to work, that's always going to mean increasing demand for resources. And one of those primary resources we rely on - whatever country you live in, is crude petroleum."
Dr. Bays says another thing people do when gas prices get high is buy more fuel efficient cars.

A few days ago, Jere Van Dyk returned to his tribal region.
The 1964 Hudson's Bay grad got a warm welcome during a national tour promoting "Captive: My Time as a Prisoner of the Taliban."
The book details his 45-day captivity and also tells what set Van Dyk on his path into the tribal areas of Pakistan.
The event was an unofficial reunion for members of Bay's Class of '64, who helped pack the Red Cross Building at Vancouver Barracks. Some grew up with Van Dyk 50 years ago.
Barbara Vaughan Olson, who introduced her classmate, recalled how they learned to ride bikes together on Z Street. She summed up the gathering this way: "We are Jere's tribe."
It was a reference to a theme that came up time after time in Van Dyk's book and in Thursday's presentation. Van Dyk talked about the complicated strands of loyalties and affiliations that must be understood before anybody can make progress in that part of the world.
Members of the largest ethnic group typify that sense of tribal identity this way, he said: "I've been a Pashtun for 5,000 years; I've been a Muslim for 1,500 years; I've been a Pakistani for 50 years."
Van Dyk spent time in the 1980s with the mujahedeen warriors who fought Soviet invaders in Afghanistan. He counted on those relationships to get him into Taliban territory.
Those relationships had gotten snarled over time. Van Dyk relied on his best friend in Afghanistan to put together his undercover reporting project. Later, Van Dyk put the plan into action with men who'd killed 17 members of his friend's family.
After Thursday's session, Van Dyk said he "was more nervous than at any talk I've given. It was more emotional."
But the opportunity to talk about his experiences with old friends is something Van Dyk has looked forward to.
A year ago, the FBI brought together Van Dyk and John Solecki, a United Nations refugee official from New Jersey who'd been held for 61 days by a Pakistani militant group.
"I'd watched him on video, pleading for his life," Van Dyk said. "But part of me was a bit envious."
Keeping things quiet
While Solecki's family and high school class rallied around him, "I had to keep quiet because of the ongoing nature of my case," Van Dyk said.
But as Olson said in her introduction, Van Dyk finally was back with his tribe Thursday.
The audience members came to see Van Dyk, but they also spent plenty of time reconnecting with classmates.
It was a chance to catch up on things — "My dad's office is a tattoo parlor now," one woman said — and pitch new plans.
"I was watching an all-comers' track meet," a fit-looking 60-something guy said to another ex-Eagle athlete. "You want to get a relay team going?"
All the hugs and handshakes going on around Van Dyk meant one thing: "I felt I was home."

Compared to... FujiFilm S8100
Where small-sensor cameras tend to fall over is as the sensitivity increases. Trying to create an image with less light is a struggle and a smaller sensor will be exposed to fewer photons of light, per pixel, at the same exposure settings. The result tends to be more aberrant data (noise), that either looks distracting or has to be smoothed away, at the expense of detail.
So does the larger sensor in the S100FS (almost exactly twice the area of the one in the S8100), produce a visible difference?
Studio scene comparison (ISO 400)
- Fujifilm FinePix S100FS: Aperture Priority mode, ISO 400, Default Image Parameters,
Manual white balance, +0.33 EV compensation
- FujiFilm FinePix S8100fd: Aperture Priority mode, ISO 400, Default Image Parameters,
Manual white balance, +0.33 EV compensation
- Lighting: Daylight simulation, >98% CRI
Fujifilm FinePix S100FS
FujiFilm FinePix S8100
ISO 400, 1/200 sec, F5.6
ISO 400, 1/400 sec, F5
Even at this relatively moderate sensitivity setting, the S8100fd is struggling while the S100FS is gliding along comfortably. The S8100fd is plagued by noise and the destructive effects of noise reduction. It looks a lot like the S8100's image has been extensively smoothed and then sharpened.
The S100FS by contrast has lost a little of its bite since ISO 100, with slightly lowered contrast, but retains similar levels of detail. The odd artifacts, characteristic of Super CCD sensors, are visible around the paperclips but overall the performance is head and shoulders (and torso, for that matter), ahead of its small, conventionally-sensored cousin.

Star Spencer football: Jerome Smith vital in the run game
Having graduated a power runner in Kenneth Davis, Star Spencer will turn to quickness in the backfield this season.
Speedy junior Jerome Smith leads the way behind a big but young offensive line that will be the key to Star Spencer's rushing success as the Bobcats try to make a return to the playoffs.
Another junior, Milon Smith, and senior quarterback Marshawn Reid II, contribute in the run game as well.
Though the Bobcats have very few seniors on the roster, coach James Harding has been pleased with his team's maturity through the preseason.
"We've still got some guys who are a little untested," said Harding, entering his third year at Star. "But you can tell we're a little more of a veteran football team by our execution. It's probably been its best since I've been here.
"These guys have been in the weight room during the summer. We went to a couple of camps, so even though we're young, we're expecting a lot out of those guys."
Star Spencer opens the season hosting rival Millwood at 7 p.m. Thursday night.

"These cards are printed on a sturdy, textured cardstock and the color is just right (not too bright, not too dark). I'm glad I ordered this design and will purchase again when I run low on cards."
"Despite the order not shipping when expected-Tiny Prints took the opportunity to make everything right about the experience. I ended up working with 2 different customer service reps throughout the process and they were both exceptional. They were helpful, service oriented, caring and professional. It tells me that the training received comes from the top down. And the best part is that I was extremely pleased with the product and would order from them again."
"I wanted a business card that stood out and Tinyprints didn't let me down. This card is gorgeous and really helps me make a great 1st impression with new clients. It's as original as I am!"
"I was a little nervous about my cards since I had never used you before, but I got them today and I am happy to say they are great! I will use you again. Suzanne"
"I used a handwritten-style font for the front, and the back I personalized with my email, my job title, and the address of my work. It's great that you can put whatever you want in the blanks provided (or leave some blanks empty). The card is gorgeous. I always get comments about how awesome my business card is. It's unique, but not loud - perfect for a professional environment like law. The card stock is thick and substantial. The ink is high-quality. Everything was accurate. Love these!"

In January 1860, only five months before the House of Beadle and Adams published the first dime novel, an anonymous contributor to The Christian Examiner revealed in an essay entitled "The Study of Nature" one of the principal cultural conflicts of the nineteenth century. "The life of man is a perpetual struggle with external Nature," the essayist commences, for "all her influences, if untamed and unresisted, are hostile to his full development and perfect growth, to his physical enjoyments and his higher aspirations, and even to his temporal existence." It is through "subjugation of her forces alone that man can achieve the nobler ends of his creation," and the "extent of his victories over Nature is a measure not only of his civilization, but of his progress in the highest walks of moral and intellectual life." Only by subduing Nature may man "vindicate his claim to be called a being, not a thing...." 1
Yet only pages later the essayist adopts a different stance. Lapsing into conventional Romantic rhetoric, he speaks fondly of man's

Moeen mauls Glamorgan
A two-paced hundred from Moeen Ali and Gareth Andrew's blistering half-century enabled Worcestershire to register their first Clydesdale Bank 40 victory of the season, by 178 runs against Glamorgan at New Road.
After seven consecutive defeats Worcestershire finally broke their duck by piling up 296 for five and then bowling out the under-strength visitors for 118.
In a remarkable change of tempo, Moeen made 46 in an opening stand of 105 in 22 overs with Vikram Solanki, then hammered 75 out of 106 runs scored in 11.1 overs with Alexei Kervezee.
The left-hander's second 50 came off only 19 balls and there was more stick to come for Glamorgan as Andrew blazed his way to an unbeaten 66 from 22 balls.
The former Somerset all-rounder hit 24 off the final over, including two sixes and two fours, leaving the unfortunate Chris Ashling with figures of 0-80.
Worcestershire's much-improved performance suggested they benefited from a practice session in the middle yesterday.
Although the exercise was curtailed by rain, the top-order batsmen were challenged to replicate different match situations.
When it came to the real thing, Moeen seemed to be out of touch, playing and missing regularly before driving his first boundary off the 22nd ball he faced.
However, once one shot had gone off the middle of the bat the runs flowed, although it was Solanki who set the quicker pace with five fours and a six in his 51 until he drove Dean Cosker to Tom Maynard at long-off.
That was the signal for Moeen to crack on with one of the best innings on the ground this season.
His hundred arrived from 94 balls and when he hoisted another catch to Maynard at long-on, he had made 121 from 105 deliveries.
The wicket went to Nick James, the former Warwickshire spin bowler's first in the CB40 this season, and two balls later he had another when Shakib Al Hasan gave the easiest of return chances.
Kervezee then went for 37, caught at long-on off Cosker, but Andrew waded into the bowling with six fours and five sixes as Worcestershire plundered 75 off the last five overs.
In contrast, Glamorgan lost half their side before they had as many runs on the board.
Danger man Mark Cosgrove was caught at slip in Matt Mason's eight-over spell of 3-38 and acting captain Mark Wallace was top-scorer with 29 before falling to Shakib, who finished with 4-32.

Gabryel Ording
Youth and high school camps will be offered throughout the month of July
A total of 124 Tech athletes earned the academic honor
Clinics will be held April 23, 25 and 30 from 6:30-8 p.m.
Recently completed her senior season for the Techsters
Tech continues to rank high in both the state and WAC graduation rates
Former Louisiana Tech volleyball player Gabryel Ording enters her third season on the LA Tech coaching staff after joining the Lady Techsters for the 2013 season as an assistant coach.
"I am happy to welcome Gabryel Ording back to Louisiana Tech University as one of our assistant coaches," de Souza said. "Her return to Louisiana Tech Volleyball is a great asset for our program. She has the values and the mindset that I look for in assistant coaches".
Ording completed her senior season and earned her bachelor's degree from Louisiana Tech in Kinesiology in November 2012.
Over the course of her time at Louisiana Tech, Ording lettered all four years and was also the volleyball program representative in the SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee).
Ording has now returned to Louisiana Tech to continue using her work ethic and knowledge to continue the development of the Lady Techster Volleyball Program.
While a student-athlete at Louisiana Tech, Ording was not only always prepared for all the practices and matches she competed in, but she was also a leader who contributed to the organization and development of the program on and off the court, de Souza added.
"To the benefit of our student-athletes, Gabryel will continue to be a great example of responsibility and dedication to our program."

The new DVC resort in Hawaii has insulated refillable mugs for $32.99.
Yes, you read that right. $33 for EACH mug.
Would you pay that at WDW?
Nope, no way, uh-huh....
Not unless it was high quality and useable for a very long time.
If it were re-useable, that would help.
But, since we don't drink soda, we don't usually get the mugs anyway. Not now since they've gone up in price and are only good for the length of stay that is.
What Shelly said, I guess we get 2 drinks a day, they have ice tea and power-aid for Ty. On occassion we'll get hot chocolate or coffee( although this time I brought my own coffee)at $2.75 a drink we would break even i guess. Nah, maybe I wouldn't. (unless you could bring them back each trip)
Ok folks, how many return trips are we making to Hawaii? If you guys are making more than one trip, you let me know, because I'm a great stow away.
I know it's DVC, but it's not cheap to get to Hawaii.
It should be re-usable at any Disney resort, whether that's DL or WDW.
I know prices are high in Hawaii but that is absurd. Since we normally only use ours at WDW for coffee in the AM and MAYBE Hot chocolate there is no way I would pay that price unless, as Johnie says, they were good forever.

For everyone who's ever wondered what it really takes to be a spy, legendary author Graham Greene ("The Third Man, The Quiet American") and his brother Hugh have compiled this irresistible selection of fiction, memoir, and tricks of the trade straight from the all-time masters of espionage. Here is a perfectly safe way to discover the dangerous secrets many spies have died to learn.
Want to know how to hide a map of an enemy fort in a butterfly sketch? Wonder why James Bond himself advises always drinking vodka with pepper?
Who hasn t fantasized about being a secret agent or been captivated by the mysterious lore of spycraft? From the words of William Blake, D. H. Lawrence, and Thomas Mann all suspected of spying in three great wars to classic espionage stories by Joseph Conrad, Rudyard Kipling, Eric Ambler, Ian Fleming, and Graham Greene himself, this fascinating compendium of all things spy makes the perfect companion for the armchair agent in all of us. If this book divulged any more secrets, it would ve had to be written with invisible ink. (Find out how to make your own inside )
About the Author
Graham Greene, the novelist, served with the Secret Intelligence Service during WWII. Greene died in 1991. Hugh Greene came to prominence as a journalist in Nazi Berlin. After being expelled from Germany just before WWII, he served in the RAF as an interrogator. Greene went on to join the BBC and was made Director-General in 1960. He died in 1987.
"From the Hardcover edition."
Graham Greene (1904-1991), whose long life nearly spanned the length of the twentieth century, was one of its greatest novelists. Educated at Berkhamsted School and Balliol College, Oxford, he started his career as a sub-editor of the London Times. He began to attract notice as a novelist with his fourth book, Orient Express, in 1932. In 1935, he trekked across northern Liberia, his first experience in Africa, told in A Journey Without Maps (1936). He converted to Catholicism in 1926, an edifying decision, and reported on religious persecution in Mexico in 1938 in The Lawless Roads, which served as a background for his famous The Power and the Glory, one of several Catholic novels (Brighton Rock, The Heart of the Matter, The End of the Affair). During the war he worked for the British secret service in Sierra Leone; afterward, he began wide-ranging travels as a journalist, which were reflected in novels such as The Quiet American, Our Man in Havana, The Comedians, Travels with My Aunt, The Honorary Consul, The Human Factor, Monsignor Quixote, and The Captain and the Enemy. As well as his many novels, Graham Greene wrote several collections of short stories, four travel books, six plays, two books of autobiography, A Sort of Life and Ways of Escape, two biographies, and four books for children. He also contributed hundreds of essays and film and book reviews to The Spectator and other journals, many of which appear in the late collection Reflections. Most of his novels have been filmed, including The Third Man, which the author first wrote as a film treatment. Graham Greene was named Companion of Honour and received the Order of Merit among numerous other awards.
Praise For…
"A charming curiosity….[The Spy's Bedside Book] serves not simply as a companion to espionage fiction, but as a kind of spy's how-to, right down to tips on secreting messages in boiled eggs and how to disguise maps in diagrams of butterfly wings (thanks to Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who actually did that)."—Los Angeles Times
"This compendium of memoir, fiction, aphorism and historical accounts of espionage through the centuries is the literary equivalent of a triple agent at a dead drop: You never know what you'll get, but it's always intriguing."–News & Observer, Raleigh"
Many of the early masters of spy fiction—from John Buchan to Ian Fleming—are represented in this quirky anthology, along with surprise guests, including W.H. Auden and Colette."—Wall Street Journal

Alvarez, Faulconer play blame game with pension scandal
Both candidates have taken money and support from pension-scandal figures
In addition, Alvarez has been endorsed by the city firefighter union. Its former leader Ron Saathoff was considered the most influential pension board member in getting approval for the underfunding deals. Faulconer is backed by the Police Officers Association. Its pension board representative approved for the 1996 deal but voted against the 2002 deal.
It wasn't that long ago that taking money from someone involved in the pension scandal was considered taboo. In 2005, Jerry Sanders returned a $300 contribution from Pierce, the then-pension board president, during his successful mayoral run after reporters raised questions.
Alvarez said his candidacy represents a halt to Republican leadership that continually the interests of the business community ahead of taxpayers.
"These special interests which supported past Republican mayors making decisions to underfund pensions and our neighborhoods are the same special interests supporting my opponent," Alvarez said. "I'm running to be a mayor for all of San Diego, with thousands of individuals supporting my campaign."
Faulconer's campaign spokesman Matt Awbrey released the following statement in response to this story.
"There's no disputing the two groups that caused the pension crisis were the special interests, including government unions, and the politicians beholden to them," Awbrey said. "Kevin Faulconer has been an independent leader on pension reform, while Alvarez's opposition to pension reform demonstrates his inability to be independent from the unions spending millions to elect him."
The candidates are scheduled to tangle in five more debates, including one at 2:30 p.m. Friday at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park.
