love the C/W, but if LeBron isnt wearing his own current sig line in games, why the hell should I pay for em?! give me more 7's, 8's and 9's
November 12th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne / 12
The LeBron 11 will shift into the blue hues this week with the release of this upcoming colorway. The sneaker continues the trend of fiddling with the side Swoosh-remember that each of the LeBron 11 pairs to come to retail so far have had a different approach with respect to that logo. This next one is clean as far as textures are concerned, but sports a slight gradient that shows up at the left end. Continue reading to see a full set of images on the "Gamma Blue" LeBrons and watch for them to hit at shops like Sneaker Lounge on November 16th.

Hi Everyone
I'm going work on a skill code to read the grid settings of a design.
I have attached the snap shot. Please advice on how to get the grids value.
Hi Jerry,
I'd like to know how to do this too. Did you ever find a way?
You might want to post this question to the PCB SKILL forum instead of the PCB Design forum, as it's a SKILL question.
In reply to EvanShultz:
You can try using the undocumented 16.3 command axlDBGridGet. It will give you grid information for etch subclasses.
e.g. axlDBGridGet("TOP") => (nil name "TOP" objType "grids" readOnly nil xOrigin 0.0 yOrigin 0.0 xMajor 1.0 yMajor 1.0 xGrids (1.0) yGrids (1.0))
If you still need it, I have some code that will get all the grid form information but it's a real kludge.
In reply to eDave:
Hi Dave
Yes please. Can you send the code over.What i have done is instead of checking, i have permenantly set the grids in my code to be 0.001
axlShell("define grid")
axlShell("setwindow form.grid")
axlShell("FORM grid non_etch non_etch_x_grids 0.001")
axlShell("FORM grid non_etch non_etch_y_grids 0.001")
axlShell("FORM grid all_etch all_etch_x_grids 0.001")
axlShell("FORM grid all_etch all_etch_y_grids 0.001")
axlShell("FORM grid done")
Hi Evan
I was unable to check the grids. What i have done is set the grid permanently to 0.001.
In reply to Jerry Wilson:
Hi Jerry,
See attached. I hope you can figure out how to use it without help.
This is a usage example:
layers = AFn_getGridSettings()\
layers["TOP"] ->spacingx
Hi Dave,
This function works perfectly. Thanks!
BTW, how does one learn about undocumented functions? Or private Cadence functions beginning with "_", that I've seen you mentioned before. Have I missed the documentation for the undocumented functions? :)
Hi Evan,
Generally undocumented commands are risky to use - they may (and often do) disappear between releases. If you do find one that you regard as being necessary you should raise an enhancement request to get it made "public".
Of course, because they are undocumented, you will have to guess the command syntax. Easy for some commands but not others. However, using the command: arglist usually helps.
The trick for finding them is to search the symbols used in the lisp symbol list: oblist.
I'll post some code over in the Skill forum.

The New Zealand dollar is headed for a 0.8 percent weekly decline as more buoyant US data bolstered demand for the greenback and kiwi sentiment was dented by Fonterra Cooperative Group cutting its forecast payout and speculation that the central bank will make good on hints it will intervene in the currency market.
The kiwi slid to 84.95 US cents at 5pm in Wellington, from 85.60 cents at 8am on Monday and at levels above 88 cents last month. The trade-weighted index weakened to 79.71 from 79.90 on Monday.
While weaker commodity prices and intervention talk weighed on the kiwi locally, better data out of the US increased demand for the greenback. A report this week showed the US economy expanded at a 4 percent annual rate in the second quarter, beating the 3 percent expectation of economists in a Reuters poll and after shrinking 2.1 percent in the first quarter.
"There was a combination of good US data in the form of GDP and really bad domestic news. The New Zealand-US exchange rate is lower for those two reasons," said Peter Cavanaugh, senior adviser at Bancorp Treasury Services. "It ended last week on a negative note and it has simply been downhill traffic all the way."
Still, Cavanaugh said the kiwi is ending the week on a less negative note because of how far it has fallen in a short space of time. "So far it's been no more than a correction but it is straining the uptrend," he said.
While the Reserve Bank signalled a pause in its tightening cycle after raising the benchmark interest rate last week, rates are still expected to move higher in the future and the kiwi has retained buyer support around its 200-day moving average of 84.50 US cents.
Tonight, the focus is on US non-farm payrolls data, with economists in a Reuters poll expecting the world's largest economy added 233,000 jobs in July.
Given sentiment, currencies are more likely to react if the jobs number falls short, said Bancorp's Cavanaugh.
The New Zealand dollar advanced to 91.42 Australian cents from 91.24 cents at 5pm yesterday, was little changed at 63.46 euro cents from 63.48 cents, advanced to 50.34 British pence from 50.24 pence and gained to 87.44 yen from 87.37 yen.

Report: Top Hamas Officials in Damascus to Discuss Shalit Swap
German FM: Premature talk could jinx Shalit deal; Mediators have made breakthrough, says Al-Hayyat.
A Palestinian delegation involved in the negotiations in Cairo to free abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit arrived in Damascus to discuss finalizing the deal with Hamas politburo chief Khaled Meshal, Arabic news station Al Arabiya reported Tuesday.
According to the report, Israel has refused to release some prisoners to neighboring countries, preferring to send them elsewhere instead.
Meanwhile, visiting German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle on Tuesday refused to discuss the negotiations underway in Cairo to free Shalit, a deal German officials have been mediating between Israel and Hamas.
After meeting Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Westerwelle said he hoped an agreement could be reached shortly, but warned that premature elaboration could thwart a positive outcome.
For his part, Lieberman also refused to offer a stance on the matter, saying: "I will discuss the matter when I know all the details."
Despite Israeli sources' predictions that the cabinet would give its majority approval to the deal, Lieberman said "the decision won't be easy." Each of the ministers in his Yisrael Beiteinu party would vote according to their personal sentiment, he said.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that the prisoner swap deal with Hamas has still not been reached, despite growing reports of significant breakthroughs over the last few days.
The prime minister pledged that as soon as the sides finalized an agreement, the deal would be brought to the cabinet and to the Israeli public for discussion.
"We will not avoid a public discussion nor take this as a chance for underhanded opportunism," the prime minister promised during a visit to the Israel Police headquarters. "We will allow cabinet ministers and the public to debate the issue."
He made his remarks as a group of bereaved parents petitioned the High Court of Justice to force the government to fully disclose the details of any exchange deal made with Hamas.
"There is still no deal and I don't know if there will be," Netanyahu said. "Right now, we can't make decisions on something that has not been finalized. Nothing has been finalized, and there is no deal yet."
Trade Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer said earlier Tuesday, however, that Israel and Hamas are closer than ever to securing a deal with Hamas for Shalit's release.
Ben-Eliezer told Army Radio that the price for Shalit's release was difficult, but "in the end, the government will have to decide - and I hope the decision will be for the best."
'Barghouti to be freed in Shalit swap'
Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti - currently serving five life sentences in an Israeli jail - will be one of the Palestinian prisoners freed in exchange for Shalit, the Al-Hayyat daily reported on Tuesday.
According to the report, the German officials mediating the negotiations between Israel and Hamas have made significant breakthroughs since their arrival in Cairo on Monday.
The Arabic-language news station Al Arabiya, meanwhile, reported that a Hamas delegation that arrived in Cairo would discuss the issue with the German mediator.
In recent days Netanyahu has been working to ensure that the cabinet will approve the deal. At a meeting in his office a few days ago, the possibility was raised of submitting the agreement to a limited forum before presenting it to the entire cabinet for approval.
The idea is to create momentum to push the deal through. Also discussed was the possibility of having the security cabinet, or the entire cabinet, authorize Netanyahu, or a limited forum to approve a deal.
"There is no deal yet and I can't yet know whether there will be a deal," Netanyahu told Likud ministers on Monday. "It doesn't depend only on us. On the other side, too, there are various positions and indecision. It is still unclear what will happen, what will be proposed and what we will agree to."
Netanyahu said he plans to hold a broad discussion on the matter in the Knesset and cabinet. He met Monday night with Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin. Observers say he is likely to bring the proposal to the full Knesset for discussion, but to submit it for a vote in the cabinet only. A few MKs are trying to persuade the prime minister to have the Knesset vote.
"There will be a public discussion and there will be a discussion in the Knesset on the issue, which must be approved by the cabinet," Netanyahu reportedly said at the meeting. "There is still no discussion in the faction or in the cabinet because there is still no deal."
Netanyahu says the decision "is between two poles: on the one hand, the desire to take care of our soldiers and bring them home, sometimes at the cost of endangering lives - a very important value for our people and in Jewish tradition - and on the other, avoiding the encouragement of future abductions."
The Prime Minister's Bureau broke its recent silence on the issue Monday, releasing a statement alluding to reports in the Arab and international press. "Recently many details originating from abroad and the foreign media have been published; they are unauthorized, and some are intentionally distorted," the bureau said. "The efforts toward Shalit's release have always been kept away from the media's gaze and [Netanyahu] does not intend to revisit the issue."
Cabinet still not decided on Shalit vote
Many cabinet members have not yet decided how to vote if a deal is submitted to the cabinet. Ministers from Labor and Shas are likely to support it, while those from Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu are likely to present the greatest obstacle.
Likud ministers are refusing to say how they will vote, and a few, speaking on condition of anonymity, have hinted that they might vote against an agreement.
Hamas' delegation in Cairo includes Ahmed Jabri, the head of Hamas' military wing and senior Hamas figures Mahmoud al-Zahar, Ayman Taha and Salah al-Bardawil.
Syria-based Hamas members of the delegation are expected to return home after the talks to brief the head of the organization's political bureau, Khaled Meshal. Only after that will Hamas' position on the German mediator's latest proposals be known. According to the American Arabic-language television network Alhurra, the mediator left Israel Monday night for Egypt.
The Hamas newspaper Al-Risalah reported that the deal for Shalit's release would be carried out shortly after the end of the Islamic holiday Id al-Adha, which begins on Friday and ends on Monday. The paper said the sticking point was a single prisoner whom Hamas wants freed, although other sources say this report is unreliable.
Egyptian sources added Monday that there are a number of open issues and that they did not expect the swap to happen within the next week.

Tailor's Eben Freeman Masters the Hard Shake

This month's Food & Wine brings a pretty illuminating profile of Eben Freemen, the resident cocktail genius at Tailor (and the one man who has come through the review process completely unscathed). Freeman talks about his current creations, such as smoked Coke and brown butter rum, not to mention some of his more outré plans, such as alcoholic breath strips and a Coppertone-flavored cocktail ("That would be the ultimate summer drink.")
But the most interesting thing in the piece, for our money, was the drink wizard's new technique of "hard shaking," a practice so difficult that only its inventor, Kazuo Ueda of Japan, and Stanislav Vadrna of Czechoslovakia have successfully mastered it. Freeman, we are told, "cups his hands around the sides and holds it in front of his chest, his elbows out. He starts by slowly agitating the shaker while bringing it up and down in front of his body, then accelerates; the shaker sounds like a train gaining speed. When he reaches full momentum, the red-faced Freeman looks like he's performing some kind of ritual dance." Whether it works, just the fact that Freeman knows about something like that makes us want to go back to Tailor for drinks. Just not Coppertone drinks.

We consider an architecture for a serverless distributed file system that does not assume mutual trust among the client computers. The system provides security, availability, and reliability by distributing multiple encrypted replicas of each file among the client machines. To assess the feasibility of deploying this system on an existing desktop infrastructure, we measure and analyze a large set of client machines in a commercial environment. In particular, we measure and report results on disk usage and content; file activity; and machine uptimes, lifetimes, and loads. We conclude that the measured desktop infrastructure would passably support our proposed system, providing availability on the order of one unfilled file request per user per thousand days.

Stop blame game, Cal Thomas
October 19, 2010
Cal Thomas tries to paint this fatherly image of John Boehner. Sorry, Cal, it doesn't fit. He stated he wants to lay out the facts so the public will understand, while having discussions on ways to fix our problems. Sounds like a very Democratic point of view. It just doesn't work that easily, especially with the "just say no" Republican Party. No discussion necessary. Our way, or we sic the tea party on you people. Stop blaming each other. Search for sound solutions (not your party bias)
Cal Thomas: We must embrace liberty before we surrender it
July 7, 2014
There are many ways to lose freedom — conquering armies, surrendering without a fight. Unfortunately, we are currently surrendering our freedom, not to a foreign power, but to our own government. The growth, reach, and cost of big government is happening before our eyes and eroding our liberty, largely because too many Americans are not familiar with the brilliant system of government our Founders established. Progressives prefer a "living Constitution," which is constantly changing to conform to their ideology.
Leaders must read Cal Thomas' column
February 13, 2011
Rarely agreeing with Cal Thomas' thinking on any subject, I find myself in total agreement with his column, "Radical Islam gains strength in Egypt. " Mr. Thomas is absolutely correct in his analysis, and it should be taken as a wake-up call by our leaders, who seem to have their heads in the sand. Robert Robinson, Boynton Beach
Cal Thomas: D-Day is simply dumb day for way too many Americans
By Cal Thomas
June 6, 2014
Given the numerous studies revealing how American education lags behind instruction in other countries in disciplines once thought to be essential, it should come as no surprise that on the 70th anniversary of D-Day, a lot of people are clueless about central elements of the Allied invasion of the European continent on June 6, 1944. The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) has released the results of a survey, which finds only slightly more than half (54 percent) of those who took a multiple choice quiz knew that Dwight D. Eisenhower was the supreme commander of Allied forces on D-Day.
Cal Thomas' article misinterprets Obamacare rule
January 16, 2011
Regarding "Obamacare Rule an Affront to Life": What is truly an affront to life is Cal Thomas' article so titled in the Jan. 3 paper. How can any reasonable American make a connection between a law that allows any person who so chooses to request from their medical professional information and education in order to make an informed decision as to medical and, yes, life choices? All this law does is allow for insurance to pay for this. Who could argue against having a patient forgo such a vital discussion because they didn't have the funds to pay for it. Where in all of this does Mr. Thomas see the government as "deciding" who should live and who should die?
Cal Thomas: What is the law?
By Cal Thomas
May 18, 2010
We are told by no less than President Obama and supporters of his nominee to the Supreme Court, Elena Kagan, that she "loves the law." I love my cat, but what does loving the law mean for the court, for the law and for the public? What is the law? Is it a game played by insiders who went to Harvard (or Yale) law schools and the intellectual equivalent of theological debates over how many angels can dance on the head of a pin? Or is it something else, and if something else, what?
ReGina Skane: Cal Thomas disrespects the self-sufficient
By ReGina Skane
November 24, 2012
While I agree with the title of Cal Thomas' opinion published Nov.12, "If election says anything, it's that culture is changing,"I am lividly resentful of his statement that "President Obama's re-election mirrors the self-indulgent, greedy and envious nation we are rapidly becoming. " I was raised, almost to a fault, to revere independence and self-sufficiency. I now depend on Social Security. I am, however, not a dependent person. Neither am I self -indulgent, greedy or envious.
Cal Thomas right about using our money in other countries
June 15, 2011
I don't normally agree with anything Cal Thomas says in his columns. However, his piece on June 6, "Money isn't enough to turn nations into democracies," was right on the mark. It is delusional to think we can "fertilize" Third World, Middle East areas with countless billions of dollars and create blossoming democracies. Whatever small fraction of their populations that might welcome anything like a democracy we'd recognize would be overwhelmed by the radical theocratic masses who have known nothing but religious excess for centuries.
Cal Thomas blind to the good in America
August 1, 2013
I really liked reading Cal Thomas' Republican rant about the successes of the Republican governors. Cal is the poster boy for the RNC Angry Old White Men's Club, along with George Will and Pat Buchanan. He states that the less faith you have in government the more you have in yourself. A total right-wing Foxbite that only resounds in the echo chamber that is the current Republican Party. Our government isn't perfect, but it is a lot better than what citizens of many other countries have.
Cal Thomas is the one who's a pain
April 25, 2010
In a recent column, Cal Thomas says the new health care law is "all pain, no gain." It tops the charts on cynicism and hyperbole, which is usually the case when the writer leads with an "all or nothing" argument. Yes, health care reform is going to cost money. Anything worthwhile always does. He attributes all the "pain and no gain" to simply the costs of the plan. Americans usually find ways to finance worthwhile causes. We will do that with health care. However, not once does he mention the gain to millions of Americans who will benefit from this new law. Those who are shut out of affordable health care because of some pre-existing illness; those who, because of a new illness, are suddenly dropped from their plans; those who are bankrupted because of a catastrophic illness not covered by their limited plan, are just a few. This is a classic example of how biased and imbalanced reporting is manipulated to advance a narrow point of view of the writer without regard for the whole picture.

Cal Thomas: Conservatives eye Marco Rubio as reincarnation of Reagan
November 27, 2012
Conservatives have been dreaming that a political reincarnation of Ronald Reagan would lead them to an electoral promised land. I never put my faith in such a possibility, because the past is a dangerous place in which to live. Reagan never lived in the past, though he learned from it. Yet among the contemporary political figures that closely represent the substance and style that made Ronald Reagan who he was is Senator Marco Rubio, Florida Republican. At a fundraising event for Iowa Governor Terry Branstad last Saturday, Rubio touched all the Reagan bases and focused on solutions, not just a recitation of well-known problems.

Cal Thomas: Too much pointless talking in 2012 campaigns
August 13, 2012
Two of my pundit colleagues -- David Brooks of The New York Times and Peggy Noonan of The Wall Street Journal -- have written about this "boring" and "inconsequential" presidential campaign. Perhaps the reason is that we've heard it all before. "There is nothing new under the sun," wrote the author of Ecclesiastes, but that doesn't mean old ideas that worked in the past can't be updated and applied to our time. Here in the birthplace of our 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, an education center stands to promote his ideas and values (full disclosure: I serve on its National Advisory Board)
Cal Thomas: Health care ruling evidence of U.S. Oprahfication
July 9, 2012
When asked at the close of the Constitutional Convention in 1787 what the Founders had wrought, Benjamin Franklin famously said, "A Republic, if you can keep it. " That question might also be put to the five Supreme Court justices who voted last week to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, which mandates health insurance for most Americans, based on twisted logic that it is a tax and thus within the power of the Congress to...
Saturday letters to the editor
July 7, 2012
The taxing authority Chief Justice John Roberts in his majority opinion stated, "Congress's use of the Taxing Clause to encourage something ... is not new. Tax incentives already promote, for example, purchasing homes and professional education. Sustaining the mandate as a tax depends only on whether Congress has properly exercised its taxing power to encourage purchasing health insurance, and not whether it can. " I must take exception with Judge Roberts use of Congress' taxing authority to penalize those who don't purchase health insurance since the references he used are treated as a positive means of encouragement and not as a penalty for not doing so. Since when has the taxing authority been used as a penalty for not doing or taking advantage of something that is totally the discretion of the individual's decision?
Cal Thomas the one blind to bias, not NPR
By Doug Vernier
March 28, 2011
Re Cal Thomas' commentary, "NPR is blind to its own liberal bias" on March 21: Mr. Thomas writes that "The problem for NPR and other media is not only bias, but blindness. Large numbers of Americans believe NPR and the broadcast networks are hostile to their beliefs. " Mr. Thomas has no facts on which to base these bitter words. There have been no national polls that back up his statement. "Hostile to their beliefs" comes not from fact, but from Mr. Thomas' illusions of the facts.
Cal Thomas: Obama flip-flops in 60 Minutes interview
By Cal Thomas Tribune
December 19, 2011
President Obama doesn't suffer from amnesia, but apparently he hopes the public does. In his latest in a series of interviews on "60 Minutes" on Dec. 11, the president took positions that are the polar opposite of what he was saying as recently as last spring. One wishes all of those "fact-checkers" who point out supposed mistakes by the Republican candidates were as committed to noting even worse flaws in the president's promises. In his interview with Steve Kroft, the president said he always believed that reversing the culture in Washington "was gonna take more than one term.
Cal Thomas: All hail Emperor Obama
June 25, 2012
"This notion I can somehow just change the laws unilaterally is just not true. We are doing everything we can administratively, but fact of the matter is there are laws on the books that I have to enforce. And I think there's been great disservice done to the cause of getting the DREAM Act passed and getting comprehensive immigration passed by perpetrating the notion that somehow, by myself, I can go and do these things. It's just not true. " -- Barack Obama, September 2011 President Obama is no longer president in the constitutional sense.
Cal Thomas: Americans see political parties as sources of partisanship, gridlock
June 11, 2012
In his 2007 book, "The Great Upheaval: America and the Birth of the Modern World, 1788-1800," historian Jay Winik writes that among Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, none "believed in political parties, which they feared would lead to 'rage,' 'dissolution,' and eventual 'ruin' of the republic…" The latest poll from the Pew Research Center, "Partisan Polarization Surges in Bush, Obama Years," seems to indicate that the...

Guard Dog of the Underworld
"The entrance to the land of the dead is guarded by a ghastly canine apparition, allowing entry only to those its master (Plutitan) allows. The rest, become engulfed in an eternity of darkness. Rumor has it that this impregnable guardian is the gate itself, but none who've attempted this theory have been heard from again."
Part 5 out of 5 of Laurelman's third set of commissions. Finally managed to get the design the way I wanted it, enter Gateklos, legendary guard dog of the underworld!
Normally Cerberus-based Fakemon have the additional dual-typing of Fire, which in retrospect, makes sense. Laurelman wanted this one however to have pure Dark-typing, so I had to play a little differently from the norm. Instead of making it look practically like a legendary Houndoom knock-off, I literally took what Cerberus was meant to guard and implemented into its design: The gates to the Underworld. The jaws of all three of its heads resemble fence railings to emphasize this, while the smoke substance emitting from Gateklos is complete darkness. Basically, Gateklos's body structure is more like a container than an actual organic body holding all the darkness inside.
Name origin comes from Gate+Skylos (Dog).
Gateklos © Laurelman
I love how you put a fresh spin on the idea rather than do the whole fire/dog concept for Cerberus. Great work
i would definently use that, if it would be in a pokemon or fakemon game !
TWINBELLOWS!!! Oh wait.....nevermind, wrong servant of the underworld, lol.
Very good my friend!
O.o sca-ry
A three headed dog? I wonder what this fakemon could be based of. It's not like it's so obvious you don't even need to look at the description XD
Great design, as usual
Great design, as usual
awesome! haha
Frickin' scary, awesome, and unique at the same time! PURE EPICOSITY!! 0_0

Katrina odyssey brought many blessings for New Orleans priest
Fr. Dennis Hayes decided to take his chances and stay put as Hurricane Katrina teased the Louisiana coast, hoping the storm's Category 5 fury would spare his parish.
Fr. Dennis Hayes decided to take his chances and stay put as Hurricane Katrina teased the Louisiana coast, hoping the storm's Category 5 fury would spare his parish.
Ten years later the memories still linger for Carol Spruell, as if they happened yesterday but perhaps were a lifetime ago.
She remembers the chaos, despair, uncertainty and the cries for help from so many and workweeks that had no end in the days and months following Hurricane Katrina. She also remembers the lines, droves of desperate people who had lost everything in Katrina's floodwater, who were seeking any modicum of relief, whether it was articles of clothing, a bus ticket to a relative's house outside of the area or assistance in finding a place to live.
After the devastating impact of Katrina, many of the most vulnerable victims -- newborns and elderly from New Orleans -- found refuge at parishes in the diocese of Baton Rouge.
St. Patrick Church in Baton Rouge provided one of only a few shelters in the area specifically for evacuee families of newborn babies, according to volunteers there at the time.
After evacuating for Hurricane Katrina, Malcolm Ware couldn't wait to get back to his apartment at the Santa Maria del Mar Retirement Community and the shrimp awaiting him in his deep freeze.
"Somebody had given me five pounds of shrimp, which I had put in the deep freeze the night before we left," he said. "I thought, 'Boy, I hope the power doesn't go off because, when I get back, I can eat my shrimp.'"
Eco Catholic: Barely two months out from the release of Pope Francis' environmental encyclical, the first glimpses of its reach have begun to materialize.
Portland Mayor Charlie Hales got a roar of approval Monday when he told a packed Catholic church that he opposes new fossil fuel projects that would affect his city.
The crowd of more than 400 at St. Philip Neri Church had convened for the blessing of a totem pole that residents of Washington state's coastal Lummi Nation carved as a symbol of opposition to coal export facilities along the Columbia River.
The national association for U.S. male religious has vowed more actions than words in taking up Pope Francis' global call for protecting the planetary home, hoping their recently passed resolution will lead not only to eco-conscious changes in their own congregations, but will serve as a model for other Catholic institutions.
While calling for global carbon emissions cuts, Kenya's National Council of Churches has launched a multifaith campaign to lobby governments, industries and multilateral agencies to agree on a binding treaty at the United Nations climate change talks in Paris later this year.
Eco Catholic: Nearly a dozen Catholic colleges and universities were included in Sierra Club's list of America's greenest universities.
Philippine environmentalists and advocates for farmers, fishers and the poor praised "Laudato Si'" and said that, using it as a guide, they were ready to get to work.

So hard.. I loved a bunch of music from each game; Gym leaders in RBY, Champion and Kanto gym leader music in GSC/HGSS, Gym leaders and Elite Four in RSE, Cynthia's battle music and the Elite Four area music (not the battle music), BW gym leaders and normal N battle, and all of the remixes in B2W2. I am going to go with GSC/HGSS just because the Kanto Gym Leader battles in that game are pure genius.

Program/Project Management
An inability to inspect without written warning, an understaffed team, and missing reports are among the safety problems that federal officials have found with the Hanford nuclear site, a leaked audit draft reveals.
An internal draft of the new Environmental Protection Agency audit was obtained by Hanford Challenge, a group that works "to hold Hanford accountable" by protecting whistleblowers, conducting environmental sampling, and generating resolutions and collaborative opportunities for improving site cleanup.
The 196-page audit, "State Review Framework and Integrated Clean Water Act Permit Quality Review," dated April 29, 2013, was for Federal Fiscal Year 2011 and discusses nuclear waste sites in Washington, including Hanford.
Established in 1943 as part of the Manhattan Project, Hanford is the most contaminated nuclear site in the U.S. and one of the largest and most complex hazardous waste sites in the world. The site is located in southeastern Washington on 586 square miles of desert.
A leaked draft audit of the Hanford nuclear site in Washington was discovered by the Hanford Challenge, an organization dedicated to holding Hanford accountable.
The draft criticizes Washington State's Department of Ecology Nuclear Waste Program, which oversees Hanford, for not having enough inspectors and not performing required inspections. The EPA has designated the state program to enforce federal hazardous waste laws.
"We have been highly concerned about regulatory capture at Hanford for some time, and we believe that the State needs more of an arms-length relationship from the polluter at Hanford," said Tom Carpenter, Hanford Challenge Executive Director, in a statement about the audit.
Deal with DOE
According to the audit, the Ecology program has an agreement with the Department of Energy to provide prior written notice of inspection plans and has limited its compliance evaluations to only those areas identified in the written notice.
In at least once instance, inspectors had to return to their office and write a notice to the DOE in order to return to an area where they saw a potential violation and complete the compliance evaluation, the audit said.
"This notification significantly inhibits Ecology's ability to complete inspections which cover the entire facility and to make accurate and timely compliance determinations," the audit stated.
The audit also included the following findings about Hanford:
"Over the past two years, there has been only one enforcement action at Hanford," Carpenter said. "In the same period of time, Ecology has filed over a thousand such enforcement actions against other polluters in the state."
Follow-Up Actions
Hanford presents "unique challenges for compliance and enforcement," according to the audit. In 2011, data for Hanford showed five evaluations, one violation and one informal action that returned to compliance. However, the audit stated, "We do not expect the Hanford Facility ... to be returned to compliance in the foreseeable future."
In 2011, only two of the 24 units at Hanford were inspected. The audit found that the Department of Energy had to give prior written consent to inspections at Hanford, and only the areas previously approved could be inspected; additional inspections required additional approvals.
In the draft audit, EPA also recommended several follow-up actions related to Hanford that included:
"We are encouraged that Ecology is willing to add inspectors to the program, and otherwise make changes to its oversight process at Hanford," said Carpenter.
"We encourage the State to assure that the Nuclear Waste Program is empowered and expected to conduct rigorous, arms-length oversight. and that the program has sufficient resources to conduct effective regulatory enforcement."
Hanford Background
The Hanford site was used to produce weapons-grade nuclear material during World War II and the Cold War. Although most of the site has been decommissioned, tens of millions of tons of radioactive waste remains.
Now, the Department of Energy stores more than 50 million gallons of high-level radioactive waste in 177 underground tanks at Hanford. Many of the old, single-shell tanks are known to leak, so the DOE transferred most of the liquid waste into newer, double-shell tanks.
Earlier this year, CH2M Hill Companies pleaded guilty in a time-card fraud scheme at the Hanford site that lasted from 1999 to 2008.
But in August 2012, it was discovered that a double-shell tank was leaking. The DOE's safety analyses show enough flammable gas in many of the double-shell tanks to reach flammable conditions without proper ventilation.
Time Card Fraud, Recent Issues
In March, CH2M Hill and subsidiary CH2M Hill Hanford Group Inc. pleaded guilty to engaging in time card fraud at Hanford from 1999 to 2008.
Eight employees pleaded guilty to felony charges, one of which was the whistleblower. The scheme cost the company $18.5 million in penalties and restituion.
The company admitted that under its $2.6 billion nuclear tank cleaning contract that tied the company's fees to the wages it paid, employees routinely overstated the number of hours they worked and management condoned the practice and submitted the inflated, fraudulent claims.
The company avoided criminal prosecution under a Non-Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Washington.
Also, the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board stated in April that it had concerns with unresolved technical issues related to the design of the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant and the state of safety culture at Hanford.
According to the board, the DOE has not resolved several technical issues with the plant and the "flawed safety culture" was inhibiting the resolution of technical and safety issues.

A Beijing-backed Hong Kong newspaper's report that Chinese President Xi Jinping took a mystery cab ride last month prompted an unusual denial from China's official Xinhua News Agency on Thursday, although the origins of the strange tale remain murky.
A Beijing-backed Hong Kong newspaper's report that Chinese President Xi Jinping took a mystery cab ride last month prompted an unusual denial from China's official Xinhua News Agency on Thursday, although the origins of the strange tale remain murky.
The Ta Kung Pao newspaper reported Thursday that Xi took the 26-minute, 8.2-kilometer (5-mile) ride on the evening of March 1 as claimed by taxi driver Guo Lixin. The report said Xi was accompanied by another passenger who rode in the front passenger seat, but who wasn't further identified.
The report said that after talking about Beijing's pollution, Guo took a closer look at his back-seat passenger and said: "When you take cars, does anyone tell you you look like a certain person? Anyone ever say you look like General Secretary Xi?"
Along with the story, the newspaper posted on its website a graphic of the route the cab supposedly took from Beijing's Drum Tower neighborhood, which is just north of the central leadership compound, to the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse Hotel. Photos showed Guo pointing to a framed handwritten note on a piece of white paper supposedly from Xi that read, "Safe and smooth journey," in Chinese.

Most Read Stories
Later Thursday, a Xinhua reporter who covers transportation issues posted a statement on Weibo, China's popular Twitter-like website, saying Beijing transport authorities confirmed the trip, but it was swiftly deleted. Xinhua then issued a statement saying further checking showed the report was false.
By 6 p.m., the newspaper had issued an apology and removed the content from its website. "After checking, this is false news. We are deeply disturbed and extremely regretful," the apology said.
The report generated suspicions among some Chinese readers almost from the start, in part because Xi supposedly hailed and got a taxi at rush hour on a Friday in Beijing, a usually difficult time to find a cab. A call to the Shengdali taxi company, where Guo supposedly works, to ask about Xi's alleged ride was answered by a woman who said, "I don't know about this," and then hung up.
It wasn't clear how a newspaper that has close links to China's ruling Communist Party and is usually considered authoritative on political matters would run a false report, especially one so apparently bizarre.
While Xi has sought to portray himself as in-touch with regular people, Chinese leaders are surrounded by heavy security at all times, and it would be highly unusual for him to take public transport. China's former emperors were known for sometimes sneaking out of their palaces incognito to have fun or conduct secret inspections, but it is difficult to imagine the head of the party, military and world's second-largest economy taking such a risk.

Morning News and Stuff
City fights over public vs. private streetcar operation; Ohio to free man wrongly imprisoned for 40 years; is another government shutdown looming?
Hey all! Once again, I'm rushing toward a day of covering meetings and hearings, so let's do this morning news thing in a "just the facts" fashion. First, about those meetings:Cincinnati City Council today is expected to pass the streetcar operating and funding plans after the Major Transportation and Regional Cooperation Committee gave it the thumbs up yesterday. That's a big deal, considering the city had been working for months to figure out where the system's $4 million yearly operating budget would come from. But the fighting isn't over. Now there's disagreement about whether Metro or a contractor should run the streetcar. It's a classic private vs. public argument. Vice Mayor David Mann and a majority of council want the Southern Ohio Regional Transit Authority to do the work. Councilmembers Kevin Flynn and Amy Murray, on the other hand, would like to see SORTA take bids on operations from private companies to see what kind of savings contracting the work could yield. A consultant for the transit authority, TRA, has generated numbers saying that the city could save about $300,000 a year by going private. SORTA's union has taken issue with those numbers, though, and say they could match a private company's price. Council won't consider Mann's proposal until sometime after Thanksgiving, which means a couple more weeks for wrangling over the deal.City Council will also vote on a motion to name Third Street after Carl H. Lindner Jr., one of Cincinnati's most towering business figures. That's prompted some questions about Lindner's legacy, specifically around LGBT issues. He gave millions to various causes around the city, but also had a darker side. Some, including Councilman Chris Seelbach, would like to take some time to get more public input on the move before putting his name on a prominent downtown street.• Hamilton County Commissioners are holding a public hearing over the county's 2015 budget this morning. The budget has been controversial. The original proposal by County Administrator Christian Sigman called for a .25 cent tax increase to fund renovations of a former hospital in Mt. Airy, a boost Republican commissioners Chris Monzel and Greg Hartmann batted down recently. The Mt. Airy site, donated to the county by Mercy Hospital, would hold a new, updated crime lab and coroner's office, as well as the county board of elections and other offices. The coroner's office and crime lab are in serious need of updates, officials say, and are running at less than full capacity. Without the tax boost, however, the budget will remain flat and many other offices, including the Sheriff's Department, will face cuts. Monzel has said he'd like to have the budget passed before Thanksgiving, making this the last significant hearing on the issue.• Procter & Gamble has officially stepped up to publicly support same-sex marriage, the company said yesterday. While the company has had domestic partner benefits since 2001, this is the first time it's made a public statement about the divisive issue. Though the announcement comes in the wake of a recent federal court decision upholding Ohio's same-sex marriage amendment, the company says the move isn't political, but is about supporting its employees and attracting the best possible talent. • Major Hollywood movies filming here in Cincinnati give the city an undeniable cool factor, but does that translate into an economic boon as well? A recent study by the UC Center for Economics Education & Research says yes. The state pitches big tax breaks to film production companies, but also get a big boost in the jobs and economic activity those films bring, the study says — 4,000 jobs and $46 million in economic activity in Cincinnati for $6.5 million in tax breaks. But the equation may be more complicated than that. According to this Business Courier blog post, when you take into account the state's return on investment – how much of that $46 million is coming back in taxes — and alternative uses for the tax dollars spent. Interesting stuff and worth thinking about.• Ohio is about to free a prisoner wrongly convicted of murder almost 40 years ago. Ricky Jackson and two others were convicted of murdering a man in 1975 based on the eyewitness accounts of a single 12-year-old boy. That boy later recanted his testimony, saying he was "just trying to be helpful" to police by testifying. Jackson will be freed from jail Friday after a years-long legal battle aided by the Ohio Innocence Project. The Cleveland Scene first reported the story and drew attention the Jackson's plight.• Finally, are we headed for another government shutdown? There's a showdown brewing over President Barack Obama's use of executive action to ease deportations of undocumented immigrants. Hardline conservative Republicans want to tuck measures preventing the president from doing this into spending bills integral to the budget process, forcing Obama to either sign them or veto them and halt Congress' approval of funds that keep the federal government operating. GOP congressional leadership, including House Speaker John Boehner and probable Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have said last year's shutdown was damaging for the party and that they will not abide by a repeat. But the GOP's tea party-aligned right flank says they won't rule out grinding the government to a halt again.

Jim Neil's unlikely road to Hamilton County sheriff signals a new day for the department

1 Comment · Thursday, January 3, 2013
Most Cincinnatians have only known two sheriffs during their lifetime, and for a majority — almost 30 years — that sheriff was Simon Leis. Leis retired as Hamilton County's top cop in 2012 after 25 years. He'll be succeeded by Democrat Jim Neil on Jan. 4 — the first time in more than 36 years that a Democrat has held the office.

Sheriff Ends Some Township Patrols

Beginning in April the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office will end free patrol service in some townships. Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. has said requiring townships to pay for the patrols is how he is handling a $4 million budget cut ordered by county commissioners. The cuts for mean that Leis will pull 22 of the 150 deputies currently assigned to patrol duties throughout Hamilton County.

City Council's proposal to abolish Police Department ignites debate
Chris Charlson
1 Comment · Wednesday, March 2, 2011
Some community groups are outraged about a hastily crafted proposal by Cincinnati officials that could result in the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office taking control of all policing within city limits, adding it shows a lack of planning and judgment. Critics say the wide-sweeping proposal, which is being rushed through in three months, would disrupt many of the hard-fought police reforms that resulted from the Collaborative Agreement.

1. In spite of the elegance of the theory of balanced growth, it must be recognized that neither a competitive equilibrium over time nor a succession of temporary equilibria through time generates a monotonic expansion in the economy, unless it is endowed with the stocks of goods and the labour force exactly in the balanced growth proportions. When the historically given initial point is off the balanced growth path, a path produced by the competitive mechanism would regularly or irregularly wind through the economic field. The rhythm is not monotonic; nevertheless, it is still equilibrated as no dissonance is heard throughout the whole process of development.
Such paths, along which the competitive or 'neo-classical' (as we may call it) system develops from the given historical point, are classified according to the numbers of periods involved. If an equilibrium over T periods is established in an economy whose residents can correctly foresee events in those periods, then that equilibrium is said to be of order T. It is evident that this classification is an extension of the Marshallian tripartite division into the temporary, the short period and the long period equilibrium. The Temporary Equilibrium that rules within any single period is an equilibrium of order 1, while at the other extreme there is the Perfect Equilibrium over Time (or the equilibrium of infinite order) that will occur when prices in any period in the future (as well as tastes, resources and technology in the future) are correctly predicted. As was observed by Malinvaud and others and will in the next chapter be reconfirmed, in the present von Neumann-like model a 'Pareto optimality' of order T is realized along a competitive equilibrium path of the same order. 1 The economy can, therefore, work for ever in an optimum way with perfect efficiency if it travels along the path of competitive equilibrium of infinite order. It would supply a useful standard of reference in the theory of growth and could be compared with the Silvery Equilibrium path (a balanced growth path) discussed in the previous chapter—the other standard of reference. The comparison is the subject matter of one of the later chapters; we devote the present and the next chapter to

Brown Is on the Brink of Calling Autumn Election; DEFEATED: Tory Lisa Ventura
Byline: Simon Walters
A GENERAL Election could be held in four weeks after Gordon Brown wastold by aides he will never have a better chance of winning - and senior Toriesadmitted they feared defeat.
The Prime Minister is under huge pressure from his closest allies to call anElection on October 25 after new private polls by both parties show him with aclear lead over David Cameron in the all-important ratings for statesmanship.
One of Mr Brown's allies told The Mail on Sunday: 'Gordon is about the only onewho is not convinced that we have to do it now.
'All our research suggests we would win - and win well. But he is so cautioushe will not commit himself.
Unless something unexpected occurs in the next week or so, we are determined tomake him go for it.' Politicians from all three parties were gripped byElection fever yesterday as Mr Brown prepared for the Labour Party conferencein Bournemouth, which begins today.
He will use his speech tomorrow to urge his supporters to help Labour win afourth successive term. He will not announce an Election, but could do so nextweek to sabotage the Tory conference.
If Mr Brown opts to go to the country on October 25, he has until October 2, aweek on Tuesday, to tell the Queen of his decision.
A spokesman for Mr Cameron said the only reason Mr Brown was considering anearly Election was because he knew Britain faced serious problems next year.
'If Gordon Brown calls an Election now it will be because he knows there istrouble ahead,' said the spokesman. The economy is not in great shape and thereare serious problems on a whole range of issues.' The spokesman denied theTories were 'jittery' about an Election after the latest polls showed MrCameron on 33 per cent, six points behind Mr Brown - no better than the ratingsof his predecessor, Michael Howard.
'We have always said that if we get the chance to prove ourselves we will takeit,' said the spokesman.
'The key point we have to get across is why Brown is going early. It can onlybe because he knows things are going to get worse.' But as Tory officials saidthe party had already raised a [pounds sterling]10 million Election fund, other sources wereless bullish. One senior Conservative said: 'We would give anything to avoid anElection now. We have lost our way a bit in the past few months and need timeto regroup.' Labour insiders said one reason for Mr Brown's nervousness aboutgoing to the country is because he is terrified of losing - and beingremembered as the second shortestserving Prime Minister in history.
If Mr Brown gambles on October 25 and is defeated, he will have been in powerfor 120 days. George Canning, who became Prime Minister in 1827, fell ill anddied 119 days later.
Tory morale suffered another blow last night after Stephan Shakespeare,director of the YouGov polling firm and a former polling adviser to Iain DuncanSmith, forecast victory for Mr Brown.
'David Cameron has successfully rebranded the Conservatives but he has not yetdone enough to show he has attractive policies on issues which people careabout most,' said Mr Shakespeare. …
