Recently, I was chatting with my friend Jeff and mentioned that I'd be test driving the new Suzuki Kizashi Sport. Knowing his penchant for putting pedal to metal, I mentioned he might want to give it a spin as well. His response? "But I don't have a motorcycle license." Little did he know the SKS is a car—and a pretty snazzy one at that.
Of course, Jeff probably isn't alone in pegging Suzuki as having mostly cycle-centric offerings. After all, the Japanese manufacturer has long been synonymous with the two-wheeled set. Yet 2010 marks a new era and a whole new direction for Suzuki: they're looking to make flashy vehicles without the flashy price point. Enter the Kizashi Sport, which seeks its place among stylish but pricier peers like the Mini-Cooper, Mazda6, and VW Passat. Geared for "the confident explorer," the Kizashi Sport will run consumers anywhere from $19-28,000.
Recently, I was invited with a group of journalists to test drive the new 2011 model through the twisty, scenic roads of Poway, Ramona, and Julian in San Diego County. (Side note: for a fun road trip straight out of a car commercial, crank up the country tunes and take a meander through routes 67 and 78 in the aforementioned locales.) Though I'm no car expert (check here or here for more technical reviews of this model), I came away with several key observations:
**One thing I really appreciated about the Kizashi Sport was its "have it your way" appeal. Each side of the dashboard offers dual climate control (you know, for that girl who's always freezing and the guy who's always roasting—no more need to quabble over the controls). Also, you can switch into all-wheel drive as needed, which according to actual car experts, is rare at this price point.
**Another cool thing about the SKS is its bluetooth capability (in the GTS/SLS models). Built into the dashboard, you can use it to make and receive calls and all that fun hands-free stuff. There's also a USB connection to hook up an Mp3 player and rock out to your own driving playlist.
**I think it's also important to mention the killer warranty on this bad boy. Having just undergone a transmission nightmare with my beloved Beetle, I now understand the importance of a lengthy warranty! Suzuki offers a 100,000 mile/7-year powertrain limited warranty with zero deductible, so any lemons in the bunch are sure to yield lemonade.
**And finally, it's pretty! Leather seats, chrome accents, alloy wheels, and a cool sunroof make for a sufficiently sporty ride. Rumor has it that a convertible is in the works, which is music to this open-air girl's ears.
So if you're on the lookout for a new set of wheels for your everyday and/or travel needs, I think it's safe to say that the Suzuki Kizashi Sport is a good bet for a getaway car. (The editors at Motor Trend seem to agree; they're currently driving an SKS from Tokyo to LA and blogging it here.) Infinitely sexier than the Accord or Camry, it's got the features and look of a luxury car with a more reasonable price tag—so you'll actually be able to afford those rockin' road trips.

What we know as of Thursday morning:
Four commercial airplanes were hijacked Tuesday morning, two flying from Boston's Logan International Airport and one each from Newark, N.J., International Airport and Washington's Dulles Airport. The two from Boston crashed into New York's World Trade Center, the second one 18 minutes after the first.
About 40 minutes after the second plane hit the Trade Center's south tower, the jet from Dulles crashed into the Pentagon.
About 50 minutes after the south tower was struck, it collapsed. One hour, 44 minutes after the north tower was struck, it collapsed.
About two hours after takeoff, the plane from Newark, which was headed to San Francisco, crashed in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Pentagon officials Thursday morning said the preliminary death toll at the Washington landmark is about 190, much less than the first reports of about 800 feared dead. New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday morning that 94 people were confirmed dead in the World Trade Center attack and about 3,700 were reported missing.
Also there were 266 passengers and crew on the four hijacked airplanes.
What we suspect happened:
Osama bin Laden had a hand in the tragedy. The precision of the four separate hijackings - at three different airports - with the hope of hitting four highly visible targets has all the markings of the twin African embassy bombings in 1998. In those attacks, the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, which are separated by about 500 miles, were bombed almost simultaneously. Bin Laden has been credited with masterminding the scheme, which killed 223 people, including 12 Americans.
What we never will know:
What did those workers in the north tower, One World Trade Center, think when they looked up from their desks or swivelled around in their chairs and saw a jet heading straight for them? They had no idea; there was no warning.
The morning's first cup of coffee probably was spilled. More than a few choice words probably were screamed - at a high octave. The usual office banter ended instantly. People were running in offices that didn't witness a whole lot of running throughout a normal business day. Workers probably knocked over chairs, computers, stacks of paper, other co-workers and even bosses.
What kind of fear must they have felt? What were their last thoughts?
At some moment, perhaps, the eyes of the kamikaze pilot met the eyes of one or two of the workers on that floor. It would have only been for a nanosecond, and the thought process might not have kicked in.
Maybe nobody saw it coming. But what if they did?
What did those passengers on United Airlines Flight 175 think just before they slammed into Two World Trade Center? No one probably suspected that the hijackers were going to fly into a building. It never had happened before. They had no idea; there was no warning.
Perhaps one or two tried to rush the hijackers and failed. Perhaps people were so terrified they couldn't move.
Rational thought most likely takes a hiatus during times like these.
Maybe many of the passengers already were dead. Maybe their throats had been slit. Maybe one or two had a heart attack. If not, what kind of fear must they have felt as they looked out the windows and saw Manhattan race by at break-neck speed? They might not have known their exact fate, but they knew something was terribly, terribly wrong.
Maybe nobody saw it coming. At a time like this, it comforts us to think that everybody who died did so instantly, without any warning. But what if they didn't?
What did those passengers on United Airlines Flight 93, the one from Newark, the one that made a U-turn over Ohio, think just before they crashed into a rural field south of Pittsburgh? This might have been the most harrowing experience for passengers of any of the four planes that were hijacked. They were in the air for about two hours, although we don't know how long the hijackers were in control.
It appears that perhaps one or two of the passengers tried to do something to crash the plane. Thomas Burnett of San Ramon, Calif., called his wife, telling her he feared the flight was doomed and he had to do something.
Maybe he and a few others did something. It's possible that passengers on that plane knew what had happened in New York and Washington. Maybe their actions, which resulted in their own deaths and those of their fellow passengers, saved the lives of thousands.
What were the final thoughts of the firefighters who went into the Trade Center towers to rescue people but ultimately met their death?
What was it like for the people who died after being trapped in the rubble for hours, for days? What about the people who jumped from the top floors of the Trade Center, what were they possibly thinking?
One man who was visibly shaken with grief about the whereabouts and safety of the mother of his three children was interviewed Wednesday on ABC News. To paraphrase, he said not knowing was killing him.
It's impossible to see the video and hear the stories and not wonder, "What would I do if I was in the same situation?" Maybe that's one of the reasons the events of Tuesday are so troubling. We picture ourselves at work or on one of those planes or in that building or trapped alive or facing eminent death.
What would be our last thoughts?

Renovation Report: East Mecklenburg High School
Young theater buffs have been taking the stage in the East Mecklenburg High School auditorium since 1950, when the school opened. But the acting aficionados currently at the school are still performing in the original auditorium – an auditorium that evidently didn't make the grade.

Long hours in the seat, behind the wheel. Mile upon mile through dark, deserted streets and alleys. Of course you need something to light your way and make your working nights so much brighter.
Luckily, the Volvo FL is equipped with a pair of state-of-the-art headlights with cost-efficient H4 bulbs that will make your job easier and well lit. When driving at night, the headlights produce a powerful beam, providing you with an early view of what is happening down the road.
The headlights and rear lights on the Volvo FL comply with the European regulations for daytime running lights (DRL), and are automatically switched on once the vehicle moves forward.
The LED lights are automatically dimmed when parking or when low beam lights are activated. Something that approaching traffic and people in your surroundings will surely appreciate.
The headlights of the Volvo FL have been designed to belong to the family. The characteristic and confident V-shape of the lights will make you stand out in traffic, and be visible to other road users in the dark.

My brother-in-law is weird. He won't eat anything white, especially mayonnaise, or green, especially guacamole. I mentioned this fact to a woman in our office and she said, "Oh, all I eat is white food." To me, that is beyond bizarre, it's borderline psychotic. She eats oatmeal for breakfast, pasta for lunch, and waffles for dinner. That. Is. About. It.
I grabbed my notepad and asked my office mates to share their idiosyncratic eating behaviors. This is what is happening around me:
Carol "I hate things with lots of legs with shells that you have to peel. Gross. Like crawfish. It makes me sick to my stomach."
Zac "I can eat a peach whole but not sliced on a plate. And milk makes me gag. I can not swallow it."
Tim "I will not eat a ripe banana whole, it has to be cut into little circles. I can eat a green banana whole."
Liz "I do not like the food on my plate to touch." (Her whole body shivered when she revealed this fact.)
Cristina "I hate hot sandwiches with deli meat in them."
Ryan "I can't eat any meat that I cook. If I see it raw I can't make myself swallow it."
Raya "Sprouts." (She also quivered as she spoke.)
Chris "Beans of any kind."
Shannon "I only eat yellow food: pasta, scrambled eggs, cheese, chicken nuggets. Also, no bread."
Wow, I opened up a can of worms, which I love fried in bacon grease over a campfire. What about you? What makes you gag?

Learner drivers
When being a passenger for a learner driver, can you talk on the phone?
If the learner speeds, fails to give way etc, I beleive the passenger will also be fined too. The driver can't talk on the phone, but can the passenger?
From the rta (nsw);
Avoid using the radio, mobile phone or talking to other passengers while the learner is practising.
And this is the law;
Responsibility of person supervising holder of learner licence
16 Responsibility of person supervising holder of learner licence
(cf cl 12 (5) 1999 Reg)
A person accompanying a learner in a vehicle being driven by the learner on a road or road related area (other than a person submitting the learner to a driving test for any of the purposes of this Regulation) must:
(a) supervise the learner with respect to the driving of the vehicle, and
(b) take all reasonable precautions to prevent a contravention of the road transport legislation.
Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units.
So I think if the supervisor was on the phone it could be argued the learner wasn't being supervised correctly. Generally only the learner receives fine as they are in control of the vehicle, unless the supervisor is intoxicated, then they can be charged. Technically supervisors in cars with dual controls could also be fined as they are also in control of the car.
I'm curious too..
My daughter's had her learners for about 4 weeks, we've got about 4 hours up. I'm sure I wasn't this grey before she started driving...
-_--_--_ ________
_--_-_ -/___+__|__\__
The supervisor can
legally talk on the phone. But as fjwb has posted the supervisor can be given a ticket for allowing the learner to breach the road regulations. If the learner driver breaches a road rule they will be given a ticket for the exact offence and the supervisor will receive one for allowing the breach. eg failing to stop at a stop sign at a level railway crossing with stop signs gets the driver a $353, 3 point fine and the supervisor an $88 no point fine.
On a side note all learner drivers in NSW are restricted to 80km/h no matter what state or territory they hold their licence in. Its different if they are on their P's and from another state as they are allowed to drive to the limit they would be allowed to in their own state. The road rules were reworked in 2008 so that they would be the same in all states. However some states were allowed to keep some of their own individual rules. The 80km learner limit is one of these in NSW.
two headlights are better than one
In Qld you can (but God loves us up here)
No worries about passenger/supervisor using phone, but not allowed on loud speaker in Qld, Copy & paste from DTMR website :-
Learners, P1 type licence holders under 25 years of age and P1 type licence holders (who return from a disqualification to a P1 type probationary licence where at the time of the offence they were under 25 years of age) are subject to further restrictions. These licence holders are not permitted to use:
hands-free kits
wireless headsets
loudspeaker functions.
Passengers and supervisors of these licence holders are also banned from using mobile phones in loudspeaker mode while the car is being driven. However, passengers or supervisors can use a hand-held or hands-free mobile phone where only a one-way conversation can occur and not distract the driver.

Hi All
Well funny all of that, u have a 38k drive each way to work, and near paramatta, some times i see a nice little asian lady on her L's and what could be her grandma as the adult supervior
Only problem is that you can clearly see grandma is asleep, these 730am driving lessons must be really hard on her
I dont think the supervisor should be on the mobile , come on 9/10 times the calls are mainly s h i t , just like P platers , they get all excited about something stupid some one is talking about on the phone and they want to listen or join in , unfortunatly they dont concentrate on learning to drive - is this the case of learning bad habits ???
My big grumble with learners is that they are essentially learning how to pass a test as opposed to learning how to operate a machine in a competent and confident manner. I firmly believe that new drivers should also be subjected to similar proceedures that motor cycle riders must go through to get a licence, with engine HP out-put restrictions and speed limitations being prerequisite, along with a basic mechanical course so that drivers(operators of a machine) also have an understanding of how the machine works to give them a better grasp of it's limitations. As various levels of competence are achieved, restrictions can be lifted to suit the skill of the driver. I also believe however, that when they are driving on a dual carriageway with 110 km/h limits, they should be able to travel at the speed limit, as the 90 and 100 km/h restrictions in NSW for P1 & P2 causes trucks to undertake dangerous manouvres at high speed to get past them. If they are not confident of driving at that speed limit, then they should be prohibited from that dual carriageway until they are.If the vehicle they are using is not capable of 110 km/h, then it is the vehicle that needs to be prohibited from highways.
As for push-bikies, if they cannot ride at the sign-posted limit, then they should be prohibited from that road also.
If your project doesn't work, look for the part you didn't think was important.
One should forgive one's enemies, but not before they are hanged

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has once again demonstrated, not only her devotion to incendiary rhetoric and conspiracy theories, but her continued failure to understand how government actually works despite working directly for it.
Much like Glenn Beck, Bachmann responded to President Obama's State of the Union Address, in which he continually pledged to use his own executive powers to enact reform wherever he could legally do so without the notoriously obstructionist Congress's approval, by accusing Obama of trying to become a dictator.
"The president renewed his commitment that he is going to be King Obama," she insists.
Bachmann, who has lead the charge to vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act over forty times and threatened to vote no on all legislation unless it is repealed, now threatens to sue President Obama if he ever makes use of his executive authority.
"If he wants to move forward with this unilateral activity, he better be prepared for the lawsuit that the United States Congress will bring to him," she warned. "He may think he's king, he may declare he's a king, but that's not what he is under the Constitution."
Much like Donald Trump and James David Manning, Bachmann will need to be informed that the legal system is not a toy and that, before she files a lawsuit against someone, she needs to actually have a case against them.

Project Challenges
Locating structures, collecting attributes, and determining structure connectivity in the oldest and most congested areas of Alexandria presented several challenges.
Surveyors found more structures than anticipated. After the project got under way, surveyors began finding 30% more structures than estimated. Because inventory data had to be collected for 30% more structures, the project was in danger of going over budget. Woolpert worked with the city on a solution, which redirected surveyors to capture all sanitary and combined structures, and all storm structures in the public right of way, but not storm structures on privately owned parcels. This solution allowed the project to stay within budget.
Surveyors had to adapt the data collection effort along the way. Data collection sometimes was difficult for nonstandard historic structures:
The highly populated area, and the density of utilities, made collecting data and establishing connectivity challenging. Alexandria, and Old Town in particular, is known for its narrow streets with the right of way and historic buildings located right at the sidewalk's edge. This former industrial area has been reborn with dense residential development, which city planners say enhances the city's character. "Alexandria has prime real estate," said Baker, "but that presents challenges in terms of utilities."
Over the years, for example, city crews had to install utilities in the tightest of spaces; Woolpert surveyors routinely found 20 to 30 utility structures or lines—conventional, unconventional, historic, and abandoned—at a single intersection. And since Alexandria grew by annexation, it inherited infrastructure from other communities dating back to the 1940s. Woolpert surveyors spent time in the field learning how different infrastructure systems had been installed and connected over time, and verifying whether the right structures were connected to the right pipes.
Cars often remain parked on Alexandria's streets, blocking manholes and making data collection impossible. If inventory data could not be collected for certain structures, proper connectivity could not be established. When surveyors noted other discrepancies in the field, issues were documented on a project-specific ArcIMS Conflict Resolution Web site. Woolpert surveyors uploaded preliminary utility data as it was collected in the field so city staff could track, investigate, and resolve conflicts. This Web site allows users to post data, automatically generate maps, use a redline tool, perform queries through SQL commands, turn map layers on and off as needed, and generate reports by geographic area or structure type to aid in conflict resolutions.
City staff will decide how to prioritize and resolve these conflicts, either by sending out another field crew, performing dye tests, or doing something more invasive.
As the project nears completion, one of the next steps will be to create an asset management/work order management system. Ultimately, the city also wants to collect vertical data as needed throughout the city for modeling applications.
"As we learned in the past, this mapping data is simply a snapshot in time," said Baker. "Redevelopment will continue to change the landscape in Alexandria. It's the city's responsibility to keep this information current so that it always has value. We are developing a process to ensure that any updates received by developers or generated by a work order management system are added to the geodatabase."
The infrastructure GIS also is a starting platform for incorporating condition-assessment data and information from the city's infiltration/inflow, sanitary sewer overflow, and NPDES permitting projects.

Welcome to a new weekly feature, Spiritual Sunday, where I pick classic religious themed movies. The first pick of this new feature is Roberto Rossellini's 1950 film, "The Flowers of St. Francis." Fun fact about this movie it was co-written by Federico Fellini.
The film is made up of nine vignettes that are about St. Francis of Assisi and his followers. Each vignette is a parable with a moral theme, like for example the fifth one is called, 'How Francis, praying one night in the woods, met the leper.'
It was monks from the Nocere Inferiore Monastery that played St. Francis and his friars.
"The Flowers of St. Francis" is one of my personal favorite films by Rossellini. I first saw the movie on TCM, it was quite late, but couldn't leave the TV. A sense of sadness and happiness, mingle together while watching this Italian movie.
Famed directors, Francois Truffaut and Pier Paolo Pasolini both agreed that it was one of the most beautiful films in cinema. It is a beautiful film, and it doesn't matter what you believe in to get it's message, it's a film that teaches about humility, finding happiness in the little things, and just trying to live in a peaceful manner.
So check out "The Flowers of St. Francis" on Hulu Plus or rent in online, or your local video store.

My newest column at Slaw, the best of Canada's increasingly impressive law blog collection, has been posted. Go read it there and check out the rest of the news and remarkable insights Slaw makes available every day.
Posts Categorized: Innovation
Targeting the variable fee
For as long as most lawyers can remember, the billable hour has defined, powered, and shaped their law firms. It determines how lawyers work, how they sell their work, how much they earn, and how they assess and reward their employees. It breeds inefficient, overworked lawyers and frustrated, resentful clients; but it has also proved… Read more »
Hands across the water
I don't normally focus on very large law firms and mergers thereof, but I'll make an exception for this one. As you might have heard, US-based Hogan & Hartson and UK-based Lovells have apparently reached an agreement to merge their respective firms by May 2010. The combined entity (Hogan Lovells, provisionally) would crack the top… Read more »
The solution or the problem?
Last week brought news of three innovations that, each in their own way, aim to increase access to justice. It's noteworthy that none of them came from lawyers. First is a report that for the first time in Canada, a third-party litigation funding company, BridgePoint Financial Services Inc., persuaded an Alberta trial judge to allow… Read more »
The electric law firm
"Electric" as an adjective has kind of a dated feel, harking back to the 1970s when it modified Horseman, Company, Mayhem and Light Orchestra. But electric cars still retain a 21st-century buzz, keeping the momentum they developed during the recent oil shock as a serious alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles. The Economist recently devoted a special… Read more »
The apprenticeship marketplace
Critical mass, like the famous definition of obscenity, is one of those things you can't necessarily define but that you know when you see. We're approaching a critical mass of discourse on the necessity of change within the American law school system, and when we reach that point, the focus will switch overnight from necessity… Read more »
Why change is so hard
Last week's New Yorker column by James Surowiecki talked about health care reform in the United States, but it has something important to say about change in the legal profession too. Surowiecki noted the sudden remarkable rise in the number of Americans who say they're satisfied with their current health coverage. Among other factors, he… Read more »
The real impact of private equity
It's coming to the attention of many North American lawyers that our overseas colleagues are or soon will be selling equity interests in their law firms. Earlier this summer, American Lawyer profiled the progress of pioneering publicly traded law firm Slater & Gordon in Australia. More recently, Bloomberg News announced that at least three UK… Read more »
Just in case
"Stuff expands to fill the space available." If you've ever owned a closet, basement or garage at some point in your life, you know how true that is. The corollary, of course, is that the less space you have, the less stuff you find you really need. I once moved six times in the space… Read more »
The firms of the future
"Does the future belong to virtual law firms?" That question was posed by an American Lawyer article earlier this week that focused on Virtual Law Partners, a growing firm nominally based in Silicon Valley but in fact operating, well, wherever its lawyers are. Virtual firms — two others, FSB Legal Counsel and Rimon Law Group,… Read more »

Specialized adhesive formulations have been developed that are characterized by outstanding abrasion resistance. Abrasion resistance refers to the ability of an adhesive to resist wearing due to contact with another surface. Wearing occurs when a hard rough surface slides across a softer surface, usually the adhesive material, causing the undesired removal of material from the surface.
Classification of Surface Abrasion
Surface abrasion may be classified in three different ways: wear, scuffing and fatigue. These actions include the deterioration of material from a solid surface by the recurrent movement of another surface, the scraping of a surface and the stressing of adhesive material repeatedly, respectively.
Adhesive Performance
When countering these stresses, adhesive performance depends on the intrinsic formulation properties of the adhesive system, the localized film thickness of the adhesive, as well as the adhesion properties of the system to the specific substrate. Master Bond specializes in the development of epoxies, urethane modified epoxies and UV cure systems that protect against wear and corrosion in industrial environments.
Common Applications for Abrasion Resistant Adhesives
Our abrasion resistant polymers are frequently used in a wide range of applications, such as:
- Pump casings
- Chutes
- Pipes
- Slurry lines
- Vibrating screens
- Valve bodies
Master Bond also offers a comprehensive line of UV curable scratch resistant coatings for optical applications.
UV curable hard-coats provide a durable protective coating to protect glass, metals and plastics against shallow cut marks.
Most Popular Abrasion Resistant Epoxies
- Two part, room temperature curing, urethane modified epoxy with excellent flexibility and abrasion resistance. Can be used as an adhesive, sealant or coating. Features high bond strength to similar and dissimilar substrates.
- Two part, room temperature curing, silica filled epoxy with outstanding wear resistance. Superb chemical resistance.
- Extra hard, abrasion resistant UV curable coating for plastic substrates. One part, no mix system. Superb optical clarity. High resistance to staining and many common chemicals.

More details have been revealed in regards to the new mobs for "Minecraft." According to a report from PC Games N on June 21, the latest patch for the PC version adds the Guardian, an one-eyed green fish with orange spikes. The enemy will attack players with its laser attacks. Furthermore, the players also have to deal with Elder Guardian, which is more powerful than the regular version as it has the ability to shoot laser even when the player is on a boat.
Both the Guardian and Elder Guardian could be found in ocean monuments, another new feature that was added in the patch. The new underwater formations are built using a material named "prismarine." The Elder Guardian can spawn up to three times from within one monument. You can find an image of the mobs near the top of this article (courtesy of the official "Minecraft" Forum).
The same update may not be coming for a long time on the console ports. The 4J Studios development team is responsible for updating the existing "Minecraft PS3 Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition," which are several updates behind the original PC game. The company is also working on "Minecraft PS4 Edition," "Minecraft Vita Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" at the same time.
4J Studios previously confirmed that all console versions should be updated simultaneously for every new patch. However, the exact releases could vary based on the certificating procedures of Microsoft Studios and Sony Computer Entertainment. Currently, the PS3 port has been updated to 1.06 version while the Xbox 360 iteration recently got patched with TU16.
"Minecraft PS4 Edition," "Minecraft Vita Edition" and "Minecraft Xbox One Edition" are approximately two months away from launch as all three are slated to come out in the month of Aug. in Europe and North America. The video games are priced at $19.99 each although multiple upgrade options are available. For example, customers can upgrade from the PS3 to the PS4 and from the Xbox 360 to the Xbox One for $4.99. The Vita version can also be downloaded for free by "Minecraft PS3 Edition" owners.

TH113 - Bible and Belief (3 credits) The Christian Bible inspires faith for billions of persons worldwide and is a best-seller every year. In this course the Bible is studied as a means of Godメs revelation. Special focus is given to how different denominations vary in their respective use of the book as a source of divine revelation.

Students attend to the development of these creedal doctrines building on their biblical understanding of how these doctrines frame the human experience through a coherent system of thought, which addresses the challenges that modernity and post-modernity pose to the Christian world view. Students who have taken TH209 should not take this course. Prerequisite: TH112, TH113, TH114, or TH115. TH270 - Christianity in a Global Context (3 credits) Through comparison and contrast, students define and articulate how the Christian, especially Roman Catholic, world view relates to those of others.

Prerequisite: TH112, TH113, TH114, or TH115. TH280 - Latin American Catholics (3 credits) This course addresses the demographic reality of an expanding Latina/o presence in the Roman Catholic Church, both worldwide and within the United States. Specifically, topics covered are: the dynamics of Latina/o migration; Jesusメ attitudes and behaviors towards the marginalized; Mayan Catholic faith expressions; the U.S. Catholic Churchメs response to the Latina/o Catholic presence; and an appreciation of the one baptism that bonds us with our sisters and brothers in faith. This is an in situ, student-centered course. Students are expected to complete the Prerequisite course work before coming to Guatemala and, while in Guatemala, to actively participate in all course related activities. TH281-290 - Special Topics (1-3 credits) TH298 - Field Exploration (1-3 credits) Field exploration experiences offer students who are considering a major in the department the opportunity to explore a variety of pastoral and theological ministries in a supervised setting.

Offered in alternate spring semesters. Prerequisite: TH209. TH497 - Internship in Pastoral Ministry (1-17 credits) Pastoral and youth ministry majors and religious education majors test their aspirations and apply their knowledge in professional and pastoral contexts.

Reviews for Caramel Apple Cupcakes
"We used boxed carrot cake and chopped gala apples, btut left the nuts off. At one point I thought to use caramel sauce, instead of melting down caramels...I am glad we didn't! the regular square caramels add a delicious, old fashioned taste. Worth the extra few minutes to melt them down. Kids enjoyed and it was a cute idea to add the popsicle stick too."
"I didn't have enough apple, but these were still delicious! I used the boxed carrot cake."
"Over cooking the caramel turns it into hardened toffee. The longer it is cooked, the harder it becomes. I suggest you cut back your cooking time, TheresaW."
"OMG!!! It's so amazing, everyone loved these. The caramel was perfect and as others have said the caramel just kind of starts to run off the longer they sit, however it tastes great. I would not change the topping at all!!!! OOEY, GOOEY MESSY GREATNESS JUST LIKE A CARAMEL APPLE...this will be in my recipe book FOREVER :)"
"I needed to make more than 12, so I used a box spice cake mix, 3 cups of apples, and about 30 caramels. It made about 20 cupcakes, and they turned out good."

National Post ·
The initial public offering of Sprott Molybdenum Participation Corp. has been given a $36-million head start.
Blue Pearl Mining Ltd., which describes itself as the world's largest publicly traded, pure molybdenum producer, has placed three million shares with the issuer, which has filed a preliminary prospectus to go public. Blue Pearl sold the shares via a private placement at $12 per share. When the private placement closes, Blue Pearl will reduce its debt by $36- million.
The financing comes with a few terms and conditions. "The private placement is subject to definitive documentation, completion of Sprott Molybdenum Participation Corporation's proposed initial public offering and receipt of all required regulatory approvals and consents, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange," Blue Pearl said.
Sprott Molybdenum Participation Corporation (SMPC) is planning to raise cash from investors and to use the proceeds to invest in shares of public and private companies involved in the molybdenum business, either exploring, mining or processing the commodity. Part of the proceeds will be used to invest in, or hold and sell "all commercial forms of molybdenum."
The issuer is planning to sell units with each unit consisting of a common share plus one a share purchase warrant. The issuer is a clone of Uranium Participation Corp., which has given investors a healthy return in the two years that it has been public. Initially, investors purchased units -- one common share plus one-quarter of a share purchase warrant -- at $5 a time. The shares closed yesterday at $17.36.
SMPC priced its IPO yesterday. It will sell 36 million units at $5 each.
The sale by Blue Pearl is unusual but not unknown.
For instance, some flow through share funds sell shares directly to money managers as part of an offering. On some of those deals, the issuer sells common shares and flow-through shares and, because of the tax breaks, can command a higher price for the flow through.
In the summer of 2003, Canadian Oil Sands Trust closed a $228.5-million financing via the sale of 6.5 million units at $35.15 per unit. Of the number sold, 5.5 million were placed in the public markets and the rest via a private placement. While it is not directly comparable, a few years back a $900-million lead order from Capital Group underpinned a $2.1-billion equity financing by BCE.

Godwin returns Marianne Godwin, one of the veterans of the world of media and communications, has returned to the sell side. She has joined Octagon Capital Corp. as a media and telecom analyst.
"She brings a unique perspective to Octagon's research team with her combination of buy-side, sell-side, corporate and investor communications experiences," said a note circulated at the firm.
Godwin has had a varied career. Early on, she was on the buy side as manager of mutual fund marketing at Guardian Group of Funds. Then she joined the sell side and worked with Merrill Lynch, National Bank Financial and HSBC Securities. A stint in the corporate world followed, including a stop at Hollinger Inc. Most recently she was a principal and founder of Income Trust IR, an institutional equity advisory division of communications firm Barnes McInerney Inc.
"Once the brokerage business is in your blood, it's hard to get it out," said Godwin, noting that before she came on board, Octagon didn't employ the services of a media and telecom analyst.
Godwin, who is in the process of doing an industry study -- which she says is her "way of getting back into the industry" -- added that her research will focus on small- to mid cap-companies. "That's what this firm focuses on, all part of our value-added research," Godwin said.
Godwin believes her corporate experience will prove invaluable in her new role. "I better understand the communications process and that will help me in analyzing what's important to our clients. As a result, I believe that I will be a better analyst. Knowledge can't hurt," she added.
Octagon is home to a handful of anlaysts. Bob Gibson is the research boss and also covers consumer products; Jeffrey Fiell and Warren Verbonac cover oil and gas; Rik Visagie covers mining, while Abid Mukhtar covers special situations.

Adios In the two years it was public, FMF Group Ltd. provided lots of material for this column. Unfortunately, it didn't provide a return to investors who anted up $197.5-million to buy income participating securities. Those securities, which cost $10 apiece, achieved the notable distinction of never trading at issue price.
And now the end has come: The company's IPSs will be delisted at the close of market today for failure to meet the continued listing requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Don't Lick Metal Poles!
If you ate a lot of veggies for Christmas and aren't sure if you got enough iron. Remember, licking ice cold metal poles is NOT a good way to get your minerals. Instead, you'll find all the iron you need in green vegetables, like kale, Romaine lettuce and broccoli.
Now, hopefully you're enjoying the holiday afterglow. And don't worry. The blog will be back to full strength Monday. But keep checking all this weekend for more holiday-inspired posts. I triple-dog dare you!

Michael Mandelbaum has written a new book published by Simon & Schuster, titled "The Road to Global Prosperity," in which he examines the politics of the global economy and explains why globalization is irreversible and a positive for the United States.
Russia is a key player in this expanding global economic prosperity, but the takeover of Crimea by Russia could hurt the nation economically, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, says Mandelbaum.
Last week, the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States and the President of the European Council and President of the European Commission, joined together to condemn and take action against Russia for its takeover of Crimea.
"As such, we have decided for the time being to suspend our participation in activities associated with the preparation of the scheduled G-8 Summit in Sochi in June," said the group for the moment known as the "G-7 nations," in response to Russia's action.
Mandelbaum says that the single most important political determinant of the global economy's future will be the rate of growth with the emerging economic giants of the nations of Brazil, Russia, India and China, or simply referred to as the BRICs.
Which begs the questions? So what about the Ukraine and Russia crisis?
The National White House Examiner caught up with Mr. Mandelbaum, and asked him that question specifically, about the impact of Russia's ouster from the G8 (now the G7)?
How does it impact the arguments made by Mr. Mandelbaum in the book about the BRICs, including Russia being a part of the BRIC?
Mandelbaum said, "Russia's ouster from the G-8, and the sanctions imposed by Western governments, bear out one of the fundamental premises of 'The Road to Global Prosperity,' namely, the supreme importance, in the twenty-first century, of the global economy, even for what seem to be purely political and military issues such as Russia's invasion, occupation, and annexation of Crimea."
Was Mandelbaum concerned about the sanctions? "Economic sanctions, if properly designed and resolutely applied (neither of which can be taken for granted), can, over time, compel Putin and the oligarchs who support him and who form his power base to suffer real losses. Effective economic measures, especially those involving energy that reduce the Putin regime's revenues from the sale of oil and gas, can undercut the popularity it enjoys among the Russian people and weaken its grip on power."
Mandelbaum added, "On this issue, as on others, economics in general and the global economy in particular are the keys to politics."
As part of the BRIC, Russia knows it is threatened, not necessarily militarily, but economically. That explains last Friday's frantic phone call from Russian President Vladimir Putin to President Barack Obama looking for a "diplomatic resolution to the crisis in Ukraine." Obama suggested "Russia put a concrete response in writing and the presidents agreed that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov would meet to discuss next steps."
During his talk with Putin, Obama noted that the Ukrainian government continues to take a restrained and de-escalatory approach to the crisis and is moving ahead with constitutional reform and democratic elections, and urged Russia to support this process and avoid further provocations, including the buildup of forces on its border with Ukraine.
Obama made clear that this remains possible only if "Russia pulls back its troops and does not take any steps to further violate Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty."
The interests of Russia, is their economic interests and their future survival as an economic world power.
During the first era of globalization, Japan, Germany and the United States joined Great Britain and Western Europe to power the global economy; after 1945 southern Europe and some East Asian nations joined that globalization.
Mandelbaum has said that the "biggest political obstacle to global growth is war; and the bigger the war, the bigger the obstacle. Growth stopped, indeed went into reverse, during the two world wars in the first half of the last century." Mandelbaum discusses in Chapter 1 of "The Road to Global Prosperity," some of the global trouble spots in which wars that would set back global growth could erupt and one of them is the relationship between Russia and Ukraine, which has produced the recent Russian invasion and occupation of the Ukrainian province of Crimea.
The clear political isolation of Russia in terms of suspending participation in the G8; determination to hold the G7 in Brussels in June; and a clear reference to sectorial sanctions as a step that the G7 could take to intensify its pressure on Russia going forward.
"The Road to Global Prosperity" illuminates the crucial political issues that will determine the economic future. Mandelbaum makes a persuasive case for optimism and offers a concrete, practical guide to the economic challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
The book concludes with another metaphor, predicting that the global economy "will not come to a halt, veer sharply off the road, or hurtle into a fatal collision." Instead the ride will continue — "bumpy," but on an "upward path," largely because "there is no attractive alternative to free markets."
Michael Mandelbaum is the Christian A. Herter Professor and Director of American Foreign Policy at The Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington, DC. He is the author or coauthor of thirteen books, most recently the bestseller "That Used to Be Us," with Thomas L. Friedman.

Poor Wale, just can't seem to get any respect from the outside world. Twitter was absolutely set on fire last night—or rather, it was if your timeline is filled with hip-hop and basketball fans—by an encounter that Mr. Forlarin, a noted sports junkie, had at a game between the Toronto Raptors and his hometown Washington Wizards where he was sitting courtside. The incident started when newly acquired Raptors forward Rudy Gay made a jump shot, then gave a "call me" motion to a cracking-up Wale. This set off the Raps' announcing team, whose knowledge of the DC rap scene appears to be a little lacking:
Supposedly this fan is a well-known local rapper…Wall-ay.
Yeah, and Rudy Gay said 'Hey, Wall-ay, I'm in Canada now, eh! Call me!
Call me after the game, because I just torched the Wizards for at least a dozen here in the quarter…Wall-ay is inspiring! I'm sure somebody on Twitter could tell me if they've ever heard of Wall-ay.
He's not Drake, that's for sure.
No, he's not Drake, and yes, Matt Devlin, somebody on Twitter has probably heard of Wall-ay. Indeed, enough people have that someone let Wall-ay know about the incident, prompting the rapper to tweet the following:
@mattdevlinraps watch ur mouth
— Wale Folarin(@Wale) February 20, 2013
Just in case Devlin didn't get the message, Wale decided to pay the announcers' booth a visit during the third quarter, creating an awkward scene where Wale's defensive yammering could be lightly heard over the announcers, trying to call the game while ignoring Wall-ay.
Evidently the rapper never quite got his word in edgewise, as he later tweeted his dissatisfaction:
Somebody call u out your name . And you confront them . YOU wrong . So who u cheerin for the people who take insults in stride?Since when
— Wale Folarin(@Wale) February 20, 2013
This is all pretty great, and we hope it sets off an entire wave of local rapper / confused visiting announcer feuds. The tension between Kevin Harlan and T.I. has been simmering long enough.

Valentine's promotion. Valentine's Day is about 14 days away, so Heart to Heart together with KFM have something special planned for you and your loved ones. Here are some of the memorable romantic experiences of those participating in our promotion, and Esther Oluka takes you through what the lucky couples will enjoy if they got a chance to go to the beautiful Country Lake Resort, Garuga.
"They will be our queens and kings on that day and our role will be to make them feel at home." These were words from Mr Moses Odomel, the general manager of Country Lake Resort Garuga, to three couples who will win a Valentine's Day treat at the resort.
The treat will be part of the Just the Two of Us Valentine's promotion sponsored by the Heart to Heart magazine and KFM.
Located in Garuga, off Entebbe Road, Country Lake Resort offers a fresh, breath-taking, relaxed, romantic environment, with a fresh breeze ideal for loved ones.
Nature is written all over the resort as soon as you get to the driveway, punctuated by beautiful sculptures and antique paintings. If you ask me, every stroll offers a photo opportunity.
Overlooking the lake, the resort is quite busy. You won't miss people taking boat rides, kayaking, bird watching, playing mini-golf or volley ball, among other games. If you are not the active one, there are perfect viewing points.
The lucky couples will also be treated to a free photo shoot at the resort gardens, which are decorated with beautiful water fountains and crafted antiques.
And for couples who would want to unwind after a fun-filled day, did I mention the resort has two large dance floors where you will get to shake it off to live video mixing by their in-house DJ Jimmy?
The resort's cottages are named after Uganda's beautiful lakes, according to size. So guests have a choice to pick their favourite lake as they prepare for a warm, quiet night. You can be guaranteed to sleep like a baby.
According to Mr Odomel, the promotion is an opportunity for loved ones to pamper themselves and indulge in various fun-filled activities. The promotion is open to couples; married or not and any other loved ones.

The top 10 posts will be in for the final draw. You could also recommend a couple you think deserves a treat. Good luck!
My baby looked beyond my skin
I met the love of my life in December 2009 and I thank God everyday because my life has never been better. I like the way my baby adores me. When I had just met him, I used to feel ugly because my skin wasn't clear. I felt so insecure but one day, he sat me on his laps and told me: "Baby, I don't see anything wrong with your face. You are so beautiful and shouldn't care about such stupid things because I see beyond this pretty face, I see your heart and character and that's what matters."
He then kissed my face and hugged me. He made me feel so worthy and I have always felt beautiful since then. He calls me his model and uploads my pictures on Facebook with special messages. I feel like the luckiest woman on earth and there is nothing more I would want but to be everything he wants. He doesn't know I entered this competition but I want to tell him: "Nsubuga James, I want you to know in front of the whole world that I love you and even if I don't win, I just want you to feel as special as you always make me feel. HAPPY EARLY VALENTINE's.

Money wasn't her target
As a young man from a humble family, I went through struggles to get to school, so I vowed never to date until I had finished school and found a job since I had once lost a girl I loved so much just because I couldn't afford to take her out on days such as Valentine's. However, after resisting so many beauties at campus for a year, I met this one beautiful girl whom I found irresistible. I promised to take her out at least twice a month and promised her that Valentine's would always be heaven for us.
We dated for a year but I don't remember even one time when I took her out or bought her flowers. Another year went by and nothing changed but she stuck with me. In 2010, she visited my place on Valentine's but we all ended up in tears because I had nothing for her. That night we decided that we should stay together and since then, I still have never done something special for her. I feel this offer would be a real surprise to her and could bring more fire in our relationship.

Lunch, walk, memories
He invited me to his place and told me I was smart and beautiful and that I deserved a good treat. He asked me to keep him company in the kitchen as he prepared us lunch. Time after time, he would walk up to me and peck me on my forehead...he served lunch and later suggested we go for a walk, which ended in a treasure hunt at a place where we first met.

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced on June 17 that the number of chikungunya cases reported to them had risen to 57 imported cases and 23 locally acquired cases. The number of case reports more than doubled in one week. Puerto Rico has the only locally acquired chikungunya illnesses at this time.
At this time, the 48 contiguous states have only seen imported cases of chikungunya. Along with the 56 cases reported by the CDC, at least a dozen other illnesses have been confirmed by state health departments and media reports. Illnesses have been reported from 16 states. Florida reports 42 imported chikungunya cases as of June 14. Haiti is the source of 31 of those illnesses.
Florida has eight chikungunya cases above the total reported by the CDC. Rhode Island has reported two, while Mississippi and Tennessee have reported one each. WSB in Atlanta is reporting that, as of June 17, Georgia is investigating two possible chikungunya cases in American aid workers recently returned from Haiti.
The one imported chikungunya case in Minnesota is that of Dr. Jan Halverson, a pediatric emergency medicine physician who works in Haiti. The story of her chikungunya infection appeared in the Star Tribune on June 16.
Dr. Jennifer Halverson went to bed one evening in April after celebrating her birthday with colleagues in Haiti and awoke in the middle of the night with crushing joint pain — a characteristic of the infection caused by chikungunya (roughly pronounced "chicken-gun-ya''). The pain left her immobile and delayed her return to Minneapolis, where she is an emergency room physician for Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.
"I've broken a bone. I've had other medical issues," she said Monday. "I don't think I've ever been in so much pain."
Physicians describe the joint and muscle pain associated with chikungunya as "debilitating". In many cases, the pain is so severe that the patient is unable to get out of bed. Studies have shown that significant numbers of patients will experience pain for weeks, months or even years after recovering from the illness. The joint pain may be constant or may come and go, known as relapsing pain.
Chikungunya can only be caught through the bite of an infected mosquito. The mosquito vector for Caribbean strain of the virus is Aedes aegypti, the Yellow Fever mosquito. The mosquito is native to tropical and sub-tropical climates and has a limited range in the continental United States. It may be found in urban and suburban areas from east Texas to the Atlantic shore and from the Gulf of Mexico north to about the Ohio River.
