Think you aught to be more worried about this £14.99 2Mb, uncapped
service from Plusnet. If they are capping & traffic shapping their
premium services I'd hate to think how they will treat their base level
Mind you having said that maybe it would be ideal, but check, double
check & then check again...

Twinkies have been a snack staple for Americans for more than half a century, but that could be coming to an end.
The Hostess Company is closing its doors and Twinkies and Ho-Hos could be no more.
Local Hostess thrift shops aren't immune to the closings, and the Hostess thrift shop on Hartnell Ave. in Redding is closing its doors next Tues.
Die-hard Hostess fans are snapping up their favorite treats, as well as bargain priced breads.
"I guess I'm gonna have to switch to the less expensive Little Debbies," said Peter Fischer, a long-time customer. "It's a tough switch though, it doesn't taste the same."
Unfortunately for those in need of a cheap sugar fix, the Hostess thrift store in Redding is wiped pretty clean already. And the Twinkies were the first to go.

Miley Cyrus did what most of us will never be able to do: She took the opportunity to give voice and a face to homeless youth on one of this generation's most prominent music platforms, the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).
Miley grew up in the industry, so walking the red carpet and having VIP access to some of the most watched performers and personalities, including Beyonce Knowles, this year's MTV Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award winner, Maroon 5, Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Snoop Dogg, and Taylor Swift on August 24, 2014, was nothing new.
What made Miley's appearance so incredible was that she was able to use her mass appeal and ability to create controversy in a way that combined both class and compassion for those who are often the least understood and least respected.
Accepting her award, on behalf of the more than 1.5 million homeless youth, was Jesse. Miley's proxy was once homeless. While he made general comments such as, "I've cleaned your rooms...I've been an extra in your life. Though I may have been invisible to you on the streets, I have a lot of the same dreams...," his focus and delivery made the topic easy to digest.
Jesse did a great job in getting the message across.
Perhaps on another stage, if he or Miley had more time, they may have shared how being homeless is a condition or state of not having permanent or stable housing. Homelessness is not, or shouldn't be, a word we use to gauge how we value and treat individuals. The homeless are daughters, sons, mothers and fathers, relatives, families we once knew, former friends and neighbors; most didn't aspire to or imagine they'd become homeless.
Giving Miley props is by no means minimizing the great work that homeless service providers, outreach staff/volunteers and other advocates do; Miley is just able to do it on a larger scale with a wider audience.
Like so many other communities, St. Louis has its share of youth living on the streets and under bridges, sleeping in the parks and bednight shelters, and doubled up on the couches and floors within the homes of family members, friends and strangers.
The good news for teens and others who find themselves homeless in St. Louis is: The City and County are both committed to serving and providing resources for homeless individuals and families. In fact, according to Fox2now, in St. Louis, the number of homeless people decreased by seven percent from last year.
The City of St. Louis' efforts, as highlighted through its Continuum of Care (CoC) partnerships and alliances, provides a comprehensive approach to ending homelessness. To read about the City's services, click here.

Debugging Tips for Skinning
By Christian David Straub on Mar 31, 2010
If you are developing a skin for your Fusion Application in JDeveloper you should know these tips.
1. Firebug is your friend
2. Uncompress the css style classes
3. CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION so that you see your skinning changes right away 4. View the generated CSS File
1. Firebug is your friend
Install Firebug (http://getfirebug.com/layout) into Firefox and use it to view your rendered jspx page in the browser. You can select the HTML dom nodes on your page and you can see the css styles applied to each dom node.
2. Uncompress the css style classes
By default the styleclasses that are rendered are compressed. You may see style classes like class="x10" and class="x2e". But in your skin css file you have styleclasses like:
af|inputText::content or
It is easier for you to develop a skin and debug a skin with Firebug if you see the uncompressed styleclasses. To do this, a. open web.xml b. add
c. save
d. restart the server and re-run your page.
3. CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION so that you see your skinning changes right away
For performance sake the ADF Faces framework does not check if you skin .css file has changed on every render. But this is exactly what you want to happen when you are developing or debugging a skin. You want your changes to get noticed right away, without restarting the server.
To do this,
a. open web.xml
b. add
<description>If this parameter is true, there will be an automatic check of the modification date of your JSPs, and saved state will be discarded when JSP's change. It will also automatically check if your skinning css files have changed without you having to restart the server. This makes development easier, but adds overhead. For this reason this parameter should be set to false when your application is deployed.</description>
c. save
d. restart the server and re-run your page.
e. from then on, you can change your skin's .css file, save it and refresh your page and you should see the changes right away
4. View the generated CSS File
There are different ways to view the generated CSS File which is your skin's css file merged in with all the skins it extends and processed and generated to the filesystem and linked to your generated html page.
One way is to view it with Firebug. The problem with this approach is you might see something that is a little different than the actual css file because Firebug may do some extra processing.
I like to view the generated css file by:Right click on your page in the browser

Abby Abildness is the founder and executive director of Healing Tree International. HTI's mandate is to heal and restore God-ordained destinies of people and nations. To accomplish this they develop and teach Kingdom models in the areas of government, business, medicine, and justice in partnership with other ministries and marketplace leaders.
Abby is also an ordained pastor with Life Center Ministries International and a marriage and family therapist. She is the Pennsylvania representative for the Cindy Jacobs' Reformation Prayer Network and John Benefiel's Apostolic Prayer Network, and was commissioned as an apostle by John Benefiel in 2011.
Abby is a former behavioral science professor at Penn State University Hershey Medical Center, and pastoral care professor at Myerstown Theological Seminary. She and her husband Jim have four children, 3 married, and three grandchildren.
In 2010, Abby wrote Healing Prayer and Medical Care, a collection of true-life stories and a proven victorious blueprint for a vital healing prayer ministry. Abby uses her 30 years in the medical field and successful experiences through healing prayer at medical centers and hospital chapels to clearly reveal that God is healing people every day. She also contributed a chapter entitled "Spiritual Unity" in So You Want To Change The World, a compilation of twelve authors' perspectives on how you can make a positive difference in your world.
Abby continues to have a profound healing ministry in and around Hershey, PA. Not only did she and her team have healing prayer in Hershey Medical Center for seven years, she also trains healing teams around the nation and continues to offer healing prayer in The Londonderry Inn each week.
The Londonderry Inn serves as HTI's headquarters as well as a Bed and Breakfast where guests come from around the world to experience rest, refreshment, and restoration in the presence of the Lord. She and her team offer teaching and ministry at the Inn to leaders in government, business, medicine, and justice to restore destiny to them and their nations. She also teaches healing prayer seminars quarterly in the Inn.
Abby is a sought-after speaker and teacher both nationally and internationally. She coaches leaders in all seven spheres of society on destiny, both individual destiny as well as regional and national destiny. She is a powerful and gifted teacher who stirs the hearts of her listeners to fulfill all that God has ordained for them in His Kingdom. Everywhere she goes, she leaves a flame of revival that brings about a shift in the region for the Kingdom of God!
After multiple trips into Northern Iraq and Israel, Abby has been invited to establish HTI headquarters in these nations. Leaders in these countries recognize that what Abby has established in Healing Tree International and in the Londonderry Inn is a MODEL that will establish and sustain healing and justice and will restore their God-ordained destiny to their nations.
Abby has tremendous influence in her home state of Pennsylvania, the Keystone state. She prays weekly with Senators in the state capitol, and as a result of these prayer times, God has moved mightily in the lives of senators and through them as they promote justice and healing in Pennsylvania through legislative means. She is also on the executive committee and is the National Prayer Coordinator for America For Jesus, a national event to be held in Philadelphia September 28 and 29. This event is designed to call America back to her destiny as One Nation Under God and to fan the flames of revival in America for the Third Great Awakening! Abby carries the heart of William Penn who founded Pennsylvania and is America's first Founding Father. The United States Constitution is modeled after William Penn's First Frame of Government written to establish the "holy experiment" which came to be known as Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania carries the covenantal root to establish godly government to be a holy example to honor all men and bring freedom and justice for all. The government of Pennsylvania is destined to serve as a holy example, to not only our nation, but to all nations. Abby carries Kingdom authority and influence to bring about, through government, liberty and justice throughout Pennsylvania, into the US, and unto the nations!

French giants Paris Saint-Germain will begin the groundwork for luring Chelsea attacking midfielders Eden Hazard and Oscar during the Champions League quarterfinal, The Telegraph reports.
Jose Mourinho's creative engines behind the striker are a massive part of what the Blues do, so neither will go cheap.
The price tag for Oscar, himself, is rumored to be in the £42m range and that bid is likely to be submitted before the world cup.
Young Brazilian teammate and PSG star, Loucas Moura, has taken to the press to do his best to unsettle Oscar.
"Oscar is a very good player," Moura said. "A rare talent in today's football, given his qualities. He is very complete and very smart. We need someone like him at PSG.
"I think he would help us a lot. The more quality players there are, the better it is for the squad. Also, he's a very good friend of mine. I would be very happy if he came to PSG, the club, too."
Former Newcastle central midfielder Yohan Cabaye has gotten in on the act, too. Prior to his move to Newcastle, and subsequently PSG, Cabaye played with Hazard before each moved to the English Premier League.
"Hazard is the player I'd like to see at PSG," Cabaye said. "He would do a lot of good to Paris and the league. He's one of the best players against whom I've played."
Mourinho will unlikely be pleased at the timing of both statements. Chelsea is about to begin the run-in, and have a very realistic shot at grabbing the title.
And, of course, PSG will be hosting the Blues next Wednesday.

My telephone system (fritzbox 7170) outputs log data on telnet and some form of script is needed to start it from
crontab, capture all data and write anything that comes in to a log file without delay.
It also has to be able to detect any disconnects, as it has to reconnect as fast as possible (lets say within a few seconds) so that no calls are lost.
The log-files will be used to monitor the line, send email alerts about all calls, change line status on my website and much more. Right now it works on Windows, but not on my Debian box (RaspberryPi).

Has Madonna lost her parental mind? On January 4, music icon Madonna posted a picture of her 13-year old son and his friends celebrating the new year to Instagram and it has a lot of people wondering just what was she thinking?
The child in question is Madonna's 13-year old son with director Guy Ritchie. Although the three teens are not shown actually drinking alcohol in the picture, Madonna's son Rocco is shown holding a bottle of Bombay Sapphire Gin and each of his friends is holding a bottle of Belvedere Vodka. The picture is captioned, "The party has just begun! Bring it! 2014"
Historically Madonna has been known to say and do some shocking things but providing alcohol to minors? She has admitted in the past that she is not a tough enough parent but this might just prove that it's time to change that.

I Copied
All Your Hard Work
And Will Trade It
For Personal Gain
[name removed]
(also called "You Are A Looser By Your Own Doing")
For obvious reasons, we deliberately removed as much identifying information as we could.
Please note in all this that I have repeatedly said I don't care about private copies on CD-ROM or even small-scale distribution, particularly in countries where online time is cost-prohibitive. What I do care about is mirroring my work elsewhere on the Web. I do not want my work posted in any commercial setting (no advertising whatsoever). I also fear that mirrored copies could easily outrank my originals on any number of search engines (as happened in the dreaming.org incident). In this latter case, the entire reason for my doing this at all has been defeated: I spend thousands of hours working to make this web site uniquely useful and attractive for the purpose of bringing visitors to this web site. But what happens? The work that I do ends up drawing people to web sites other than this one! web sites which are not there for the art or the activism but are someone's way of making money. I sacrifice time I could have spent making money for myself so that others may free up time to make money plus make money off of my work directly? That's not right at all!
Nevertheless, this fellow talks of openly trading my work. Also, he grabbed and converted my work without first checking with me to see what I think about it. Finally, as you'll see during the course of this dialogue, he lies to me about his intentions, first saying one thing and later denying it.

Dear Editor,
First, many thanks for your wonderful web site. I have been studing this subject for [length of time removed] and have owned [large number removed] books on [subject removed].
NOW i wish to use E-text and save trees. I copied all the E-text on your site to [format name removed] documents.
I am looking for other books on this subject and have found many. I can trade them for other texts.
I have heard that both "[author's name removed]" by [title removed] & "[title removed]" by [author's name removed] were recently in E-text on the web but have both disappeared. Do you know any sources for these E-text, OR could you post my interest with my e-mail on your web site so that someone else may send a ZIP file to me.
I am also VERY interested in any texts by [author's name removed]
You may hear my lectures on [subject removed] at [URL removed] Click [link names removed] in that order.
If after listening you think that people would find this as interesting as the [large number removed] listeners of this show did then please put a link to these shows on your web site. They are a result of [information removed].

Cordially [name removed]
(Note: the orange emphasis is ours. -- PAM)
Note to Our Readers and Supporters:
This is as close as I get to hanging this whole project up and finding something else to do.
This is the only reason I've ever wanted to quit doing this, and I came close to doing just that several times last year alone.
PLEASE -- if you see anybody trading ANY e-texts of ANY Joseph Lewis books or W. E. H. Lecky or the Bruno book or the corrected Emma Goldman material or especially Gora's material or Remsberg's "The Christ," please go along with it for long enough to find out as much as you can about that individual, particularly the whereabouts, and provide me with this information so I can try to put a stop to what you just read -- to stop him from rendering my pride and joy to a drop in his vast bucket.
This will help me protect my main reason for even doing this work at all.
I have watermarked all my e-text conversions so that it would be impossible for someone to remove these watermarks short of doing their own conversion work.
I do this work for the purpose of providing a unique experience on the Internet. Being disabled and having virtually no social outlet, THIS PROJECT IS ALL I HAVE! PERIOD! I have done this work at GREAT SACRIFICE, slaving over this project when others were out dancing, slaving over this project while others were out making a few extra bucks.
Now, someone comes along, mouse in hand, and grabs months and months and months worth of work -- upwards of ten thousand hours in all, by my calculation -- and then trades my pride and joy on the open market for personal gain. Now, perhaps he can have a few more Saturday nights free to go out on the town, perhaps he can free up some time to earn some extra money.
Or, perhaps he can trade what he stole from me to somebody who stole somebody else's work.
Then this stuff will be posted not exclusively where it belongs -- right here, because that's why I converted it -- but any number of places on the Internet.
Then, you won't need me!
Won't someone please explain to me:

I convert my e-texts exclusively for this project. I also watermark my work with very subtle changes so that if someone wanted to use my e-texts to, say, reprint the Joseph Lewis stuff (e.g. Prometheus Books), they'd have to do their own conversion work. I did this because I don't like the Bank of Wisdom stuff: too poorly done.
The works you're looking for may be on Bank of Wisdom. That stuff used to be free to post but no longer (or so I've heard; I don't pay attention). Perhaps someone had it up and someone else said to take it down.

You don't need to post this material elsewhere on the web, because it's already posted right here. (Private CDs are a different matter.)

I was hoping you could give me more possitive help.
I don't know what you mean.
First, I have not heard of any of the writers you mentioned.
Secondly, since you said you grabbed my e-text conversions and rendered them into a different e-format, I can only hope that this is for personal, private use, and that you do not intend to display or distribute them in any manner. I'd really hate for us to become adversaries over something like that.
If you wish to distribute or post e-text conversions of this material, you are welcome to do the work of converting it to e-text. However, I do not want my e-text conversions posted anywhere other than on the postitiveatheism.org domain, and I do not want them distributed. I do not own the copyright to the original work, but I do own the copyright to the watermarking that I put into my e-text conversions, and I am very jealous over it. The watermarking is the only way for me to protect my work converting the books to e-text.
If I find that someone has posted my e-text conversions and they refuse my request to remove them, I will remove mine and will tell all my readers why I did this. If I sound bitter it's because I am: almost everything I've done to try to make this web site unique has been posted on someone else's web site at one point or another.
I slaved for hundreds of hours over these things, getting them just right. I put much of this stuff up before I had enough money to buy a scanner and OCR software, so I typed it by hand. When I do a book such as Lecky, that costs me about three months out of my life. Being disabled, I cannot work nearly as quickly as normal people. I am very proud of my work and do not want it used for any purpose other than the reason I did the work: to draw attention to this web site. Most of those who have stolen my work from me already have a lot going for them: I have only this going for me.
This is the only thing that I've been able to build that's mine.
And people keep stealing it and posting it on their web sites so that they can free-up some time to go out to a show or make some money or whatever -- anything except set aside the time to do the work themselves.
I have had many, many problems with people taking my hard work on the Quotes section and posting it on their own web sites. Here I slave for hundreds of hours, mining books that I hobbled my broken body down to the Library to check out, and hand typed a lot of these (because the excerpts are too small to justify scanning). Then I do the research to write the comments. Then, after that, I (hopefully) have something unique to offer readers and (hopefully) they will visit me and write me letters and (hopefully) contribute toward keeping this web site up and running -- if not some help in doing the work then perhaps some help in paying the bills.
Since I earn a disability pension, I do not do this for the money. I do it because I feel a need to stop from happening what has happened to me for being an atheist. And this is all I have.
But then, along comes somebody who, with two or three keystrokes, copies my work and pastes it into their own web site. The time I spent doing the work comes to naught, because now I no longer have a unique quotes page, the work I did to make it unique now lives on someone else's page as well. Then, with the time they saved by stealing my work, they can go earn a little money (when I went ahead and ate bland food and took a bus rather than drove a car). Then, with the time they saved by stealing my work, they can go out and have a good time on a Saturday night (when I cannot tell you how many hundreds of Saturday nights I spent slaving over this computer terminal, lovingly building a web site that's different from all the others.
Now it's no longer different, but is the resource where many of the newer atheist web sites grab their material. Instead of doing their own work and building a better Internet, they grab my work and make the Internet one big broken record.
It is for this reason and no other that I have been tempted to stop doing this work. If I sound bitter it's because I am. The conversions I've done are hand-picked. The quotes I've posted are hand-picked, and most of them come from my own reading, my own journey. The rest come from the reading and journeys of those close friends who have met me through my web site -- that I built.
Those who stole my quotes and posted them cannot tell you the stories behind any of those quotes: I can tell you all the stories and I can pull them out and use them in an article or a Letter response and can weave them into poetry for you.
Those who steal from me can hit the Control key and the "C" key at the same time, but I cannot tell you anything more that they are able to do.

You specifically made a big point about trading these things and even offered to trade with me. Now it's just a private thing and you don't offer copies of what someone wants for copies of something you want!
Which is it?
In whose hands will my conversions eventually end up? And what are the chances that whoever gets this or that copy will not know that I don't want copies elsewhere on the Web and that the very reason I even bothered to create them was to post them here?
So you burned them onto a CD and then someone has something you want so you make them a copy of the CD, having long forgotten that my (basically) life's work is a drop in the bucket on this vast collection of e-texts. (Even the links back to my web site don't go back there any more because they are relative, not absolute.) Ah, but someone else might have a higher ranking on the search engine, and so when a person searches for the information, the go to the bootleg copy rather than the real copy.
It's one thing for you to trade in material that is gone and long forgotten: this material is alive and well and constitutes a major portion of this particular effort: approximately one-fifth of the entire web site.
You just burned one-fifth of my assets onto your CD and, according to a natural reading of your first letter, these belongings of mine are now part of a collection that is freely available in trade on the open market.
It is for this reason that I watermarked my work, and it is for this reason that I have already posted a warning, asking our readers to help us put a stop to people who are trading what I so laboriously and lovingly created specifically for Positive Atheism Magazine -- what I sacrificed a relationship with Internet Infidels over because I wouldn't let them mirror my work.
And you think I'm going to sit still for this? You think I should?
When I die, my will states what is to happen to everything I own, including the web site and down to where the e-texts will go. While I am alive (even if I take them down), if somebody uses them in a way that I don't like, I'll pursue the matter.

I am sorry that you have had such a difficult time. I am sure that many people copy items from your site only to read them later.
In [removed] I wrote a book called [removed], to are articles and Books on [removed] back to [removed]" [removed] pages of text, with over [removed] references, [removed] years (thousands of hours) work and much expense. After my book out the biblios at the end of new books,articles etc increased by 6 times by just looking them all up in my book, BUT NOBODY gave reference to my book because that was there secret source of all my work for them(and I became embittered). My book, still is in print (I made about 10 cents an hour for my work) did not go further because of jealousy and politics of authors. So I do understand and do appreciate your efforts. I guess after being a bibliophile for over [removed] years and owning [removed] books in [removed] major collections I have just relized that things happen but the wonderful works of others will live on and you are doing some of that and I thank you.
I invite you to listen to me on [removed] and audience of [removed] people. SEE [removed] CLICK [removed] then [removed] THEN: [removed] in that order. I talked about "[removed] ETC" it was well recieved and I still get e-mails. If you wish you can link your site to it, as the subjects are the same. I did not make a dime for my hours on this show and I gave away years of hard research time and traveled to [removed] countries over [removed] years. I want people to be FREE of the slavery on man-made belief systems.
Giving can be a rewarding experience. Love is the best experience. I am academic and enjoy teaching others and myself.

Still, your first message to me was an offer to trade things for e-texts from gaud nose ware. I need reassurance. Can you assure me that none of the material that I created for PAM will enter into any trading of any kind?

The first thing you said to me is "Want to trade?" This clearly indicates that you're in the business of dealing in bootleg manuscripts and e-texts.
This is precisely why I asked that question: had you been honest, you would have humbly answered it. Since you blow up and accuse ME of being in the wrong (like all the other thieves I've encountered do, thieves who have stolen e-texts from me and used them for personal gain). I have no choice but to finger you as a thief. The only reason you'd respond this way when I ask you to promise me to be on the up-and-square is because you're lying to me. I can tell you had no intention of honoring that agreement in the first place; it shows in the way you responded to that one question. However, nobody who is reformed (like me) would ever offer to trade anything to anyone at any time. Thus, your initial offer shows that you still do not care one whit about intellectual properties. Your subsequent about-face suggests that you'd stoop a bit if doing so would increase your count by a few more items (such as the dozen or so that constitute my life's work thus far -- drop in your bucket, for sure).
I ought to know, I've dealt in bootleg recordings off and on since I was a kid (but only ever in stuff that's way out of print: no one I ever knew ever grabbed stuff that the owner was still using -- like you appear to be doing). On top of that, I did time as a coyote in the early 1980s. If it takes one to know one, there you have my credentials. No wonder your first e-mail seemed weird before I even opened it: I even recognized your family name and wondered, at first, if there was a connection.
Therefore, I have blocked your e-mail address and will be on the lookout for my work being used in illegal and illicit manners. When I find them, I will go after whoever's box the stuff lives on unless they're willing to finger you and help me put an end to your game.

something from the air in front of her - "the results of your

She held up ten stubby little fingers, then, her smile wider and more

The chapter begins on the Sunday in November immediately following

we've been using for the term, that would make this 18 December.

Michael's Story:
Don't assume you're healthy
Michael blamed an energy drink for his wildly beating heart.
The competitive cyclist noticed that every hour his heart would go boom, boom, boom. Michael, who was training as a part of cycling team to ride a 24-hour race, dismissed the heart pounding as an energy drink side effect.
The next day, the pounding got more frequent. Michael's wife, a nursing student at the time, urged him to get it checked out.
He went to an urgent care and they sent him directly to the Emergency Department at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix.
There, Banner cardiac specialists told him that he had atrial tachycardia, a genetic condition that would require medication and surgery to control the abnormally fast heart rhythms.
His family and friends were shocked that someone so young and apparently healthy had such a serious heart condition. Michael was just as surprised but realized that the blackout spells he had suffered from for years had been his body trying to tell him something.
Although stunned, Michael was confident about his medical care. He completely trusted his cardiac surgeon the first time he met him.
Michael's Banner cardiac specialist performed an ablation to his heart by freezing areas to create scar tissue that would prevent the conduction of electrical impulses.
Because the surgery was minimally invasive and Michael was in overall good health, he had a short recovery time.
He's back on the bike, although he took it slow in the beginning. He now avoids caffeine because it stimulates his heart and he wears a heart monitor while cycling. "I'm just happy to be doing it again. I'm happy I got another chance.''
Michael said he learned that the importance of listening to his body. "If something is amiss, then check it out. And when your wife tells you to go to the doctor, go.''
Michael: I am living proof.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Did Rudy Hermann Guede or Antonio Aviello kill Meredith Kercher? Rudy Hermann Guede confessed to being the killer of Meredith Kercher during a jailhouse discussion, Mario Alessi told an appeals court Saturday. Guede disputes the conversation with Mario Alessi ever taking place. Guede's alleged jailhouse confession is critical in determining whether the conviction of Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito should be thrown out on appeal. But how about Antonio Aviello?
Knox, Sollecito and Guede were all convicted of the murder of Meredith Kercher. Since then, a series on victories have been obtained by Knox's legal team through the Italian appeals process. While those wins have initially been as to DNA crime scene evidence, the case took a dramatically different turn Saturday when witness admissions were introduced.
Two convicts have testified for Knox and Sollecito. First, Mario Alessi has testified that Guede confessed to the murder of Kercher during a jailhouse encounter. Alessi claims that Guede told him Kercher was killed by Guede and an unidentified second man. Guede allegedly said that he and the second man went over to Kercher's home to have three-way relations, that Kercher resisted, that after Guede returned from the restroom he found the other man on top of Kercher with a knife, and that the other man cut her throat in his presence.

Guede tells news that he never had such a conversation with Mario Alessi.
Second, Antonio Aviello is the focus of another investigation. Inmate Luciano Aviello has told the appeals board that his brother murdered Kercher during a break-in robbery that went wrong. Mario claims that Antonio killed Kercher, had Mario hide the weapon and the house keys, and that Antonio remains in hiding in Naples.

Mario in a police statement says "I know because my brother confessed to me that he had killed Meredith and he asked me to hide a blood-stained knife and set of keys."
"I had everything under a little wall behind my house," he said. "I am happy to stand up in court and confirm all this and wrote to the court several times to tell them but was never questioned."
Antonio Aviello has yet to be called by the appeals' court, his whereabouts unknown.
Mario Aviello, a member of the Mariano mafia family, said he Antonio previously lived with him in Perugia. "When he came to my house he had a bloodstained jacket on and was carrying a flick knife. He said he had broken into a house and killed a girl and then he had run away. "
He added "My brother told me that he and an Albanian friend of his called Florio were breaking into a house to steal some pictures. The house they broke into didn't have any pictures and instead they found the poor English girl who started screaming like mad. Antonio stabbed her in the throat then he tried to stifle her screams. Meredith defended herself like mad, scratching and hitting out at him."

According to a doctrine known as connectionism, the properties of the human mind, from memories to mental disorders, are encoded in a distinctive pattern of neural connections, which contribute to a person's uniqueness. For years, connectionism has inspired a new generation of scientists to search for the connectome, a map of links between a brain's neurons. A trained physicist turned neuroscientist, Prof. Seung now claims that every individual is his or her connectome. He has founded Wired Differently, an online citizen science community which enlists volunteers from the general public to map connectomes by analyzing neural images via an online gaming experience. The German-U.S. collaboration Eyewire, which is built around datasets derived from the two-photon and scanning elctron microscopy co-invented by Prof. Denk, is WiredDifferently's first project. With the goal of mapping the neural connections of the retina, Eyewire volunteers trace neuron branches through images of brain scans by playing a simple online game, helping the computer to color a neuron as if the images were part of a three-dimensional coloring book.
German physicist and neuroscientist Winfried Denk revolutionized the high resolution imaging of cells inside tissues. In order to better follow neural connections, he co-developed two-photon microscopy and contributed to the invention of serial block-face scanning electron microscopy that allows the tracking of neural processes across long distances. Yesterday, he was announced a 2012 Kavli Prize Laureate in Neuroscience. He is sharing the prize with Cornelia Bargman (Rockefeller University) and Ann Graybiel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Prof. Denk has been the Director of the Biomedical Imaging Department at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, Germany, since 2000. His collaboration with Prof. Seung dates back to 2006.
Sebastian Seung is the author of the recently published book Connectome: How the Brain's Wiring Makes Us Who We Are, "the best lay book on brain science" according to the Wall Street Journal. He is Professor of Computational Neuroscience at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Jim Sharp, the President of Carl Zeiss Microscopy, LLC, and CEO of Carl Zeiss, Inc., will moderate the event. Carl Zeiss has been providing microscopy solutions to scientists and researchers for over 160 years.
The discussion will take place on Wednesday, June 6, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at the German House New York (871 United Nations Plaza, First Avenue, btw. 48th & 49th Streets). To RSVP by June 4, click here: https://secure.jotformpro.com/form/21375383494965

Legislation to extend oil spill and shipwreck liability
Legislation to ensure shipping companies have more liability if their ships are wrecked or spill oil, will be introduced to Parliament in the next few months.
It was revealed on Friday that Maritime New Zealand is predicting the cost of the clean-up after the grounding of the Rena could be $50 million.
The ship's owners are legally liable to pay for about $11.3 million of the costs and Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee says the liability cap of $12 million, would double.
Labour has criticised the Government for not improving the maritime liability rules, when it was advised to do so in 2008.
But Mr Brownlee says Labour also had the opportunity to update maritime legislation, but they too did not foresee the Rena disaster.

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), recently issued a three-year, $196,200 grant to Pacific faculty members Dr. Leigh Anderson and Dr. Roshanak Rahimian.
Anderson is a professor in the department of anatomical sciences at the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, and Rahimian is an associate professor in the department of physiology and pharmacology at the Thomas J. Long School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Both are working together to examine the effects of type 2 diabetes on vascular and secretory function. The title of the grant is "Blood Flow and Salivary Gland Function in Diabetes."
The NIDCR recently issued 16 grants in a first round of funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The ARRA was signed into law in February 2009 as part of an effort to create or save jobs and advance American innovation. In March, ARRA made $10.4 billion available to NIH through September 2010. These monies were provided specifically to expand public support for promising research ideas, construct and improve laboratory facilities and purchase scientific equipment to enable the work.
"NIH grants are being used for research that will save lives, cure disease and improve quality of life," said Rahimian. "I am extremely excited and proud that the NIH has recognized the significance of our collaborative research."
Anderson adds that it is collaboration that made this grant possible.
"Numerous students at both the Schools of Dentistry and of Pharmacy and Health Sciences have already been involved in our research, and with this award others will now have their educational experience enriched," he said. "More importantly, though, this award demonstrates the value of building collaborative relations across departments and schools within University of the Pacific."

But what if these websites go too far? What if these healthy living blogs end up teaching people unhealthy techniques for over-exercise and under-eating? It's a possibility, but it's also something that is already being done intentionally on "Pro-Ana" websites.
"Ana" is a nickname for anorexia, used almost as a term of endearment by girls striving for a dangerously thin body. There are between 400 and 500 "pro-ana" websites today that provide diet tips, inspiration photos and community forums. Fasting is promoted, eating less than 500 calories per day is admired, and purging is listed as a viable option. In fact, there are "Pro-Mia" (bulimia) sites as well. It's estimated that one in five six to 11 year old children have been exposed to these websites.
Are you shocked? Angry? Disturbed?
Pro-Ana sites provide validation for girls in the midst of an eating disorder and encouragement to those who are struggling to become as thin as certain models and celebrities. The forums allow girls to share their experiences, often leading to competitive dieting. There are pages dedicated to hiding these behaviors from friends and family, and on occasion even links to pro-suicide sites.
Anorexia and bulimia are serious diseases, not something to strive for. Over 10 million Americans suffer from Eating Disorders each year. The medical complications are many, including muscle loss, hair loss and a risk of both heart failure and kidney failure. Anorexia specifically has the highest premature death rate of any mental disease. Having personally suffered from Anorexia, I know that it is something I would never wish upon anyone. That one would choose such harmful and lonely habits is incredibly disheartening.
The good news (if there can be any good news) is that many of the websites are being shut down. Some of the "pro-ana" sites, however, are staying live by claiming they are actually pro-recovery. It's common to see a disclaimer on the home page, or even language saying the site does not support or promote anorexic behavior. Dig deeper, though, and the telltale content is still there.
So what can be done?
Promote positive body image. Watch what you say in front others, especially younger girls and especially on the Internet. Instead support nutritious meals, beneficial activity and abounding energy.
Donate to eating disorder research. Eating disorder research is largely underfunded compared to other mental diseases.
Donate and promote eating disorder education. Many times these harmful websites are found by girls seeking out information or answers to questions about the disorders.

Expected annual savings is about $320,000
December 6, 2012 | Vol. 116 -- No. 33
Last Thursday, Nov. 29, the board of Spokane County Commissioners voted to pull their funding from Martin Hall Juvenile Detention Center in Medical Lake beginning in 2013.
The move is estimated to save the county $320,000 each year for the guaranteed five beds reserved for Spokane County. Martin Hall currently has 60 beds, but only 20 are in regular use, Commissioner Al French said.
Payments averaged out to $175 per bed every night, regardless of whether it was being used. Contract negotiations arose with other counties using Martin Hall in an effort to reform the payment structure, larg...

In the world of Mormon feminism, there is no issue of greater concern and frustration than the glaring absence of female Deity. Men, it is often said, have a distinct advantage in that LDS doctrine gives them a clear picture of their eternal identity, destiny and purpose due to the fact that God, without question, is a member of their own sex. This doctrine provides them a firm foundation upon which to build their character, their testimonies, and their conceptions about what eternal life will entail. Women on the other hand have been left to tread the waters of uncertainty, not knowing the true purpose of their existence, what they will become, or what eternal life looks like for them.
This imbalanced, incomplete knowledge of Deity poses a grave threat to the future of the LDS church, particularly in a time when personal opinions and grievances are publicized instantly. As more LDS women begin to wonder publicly why the restored church possesses no specific knowledge about Heavenly Mother aside from the assurance that She exists, the more distressing the silence from church authorities becomes. Members begin to offer their own disturbing reasons for the lack of revelation, that the silence is perhaps due to the shame of Her position as a subordinate, as a dependent, or as part of a harem – any of which are instinctively repulsive to the citizens of a nation where independence was resolutely declared and human equality was defended to the death as a "self-evident truth."
Worse than this is the fear that Heavenly Mother's silence and invisibility is the eternal model and template for women, a model implied by the current structure of male-only priesthood leadership in the church. This particular concern has the potential to lead feminist Latter-Day Saints to a horrifying conclusion: that for women, the Atonement of Jesus Christ is irrelevant. If the punishment for sin is captivity and death, it logically follows that the Atonement of Jesus Christ does nothing for women if their ultimate destiny – be it heaven or hell – is captivity and death. And what is captivity but eternal subjection? What is death but eternal silence and passivity? If these are woman's heritage, Eve's prophetic words ring hollow: there is no joy in woman's redemption, if redemption is nothing but everlasting subjection.
Though obscure scriptures hint at the existence of the feminine Divine (Proverbs 1-9, etc.), the simple fact remains that the identity, character and eternal role of Heavenly Mother, the female counterpart to Heavenly Father, has never been revealed – not in scripture, not in any official declaration from the church, not in the temple ceremony, and not by the prophet of the Restoration. This begs the obvious question: Why? So far, the customary explanations have all been negative – in addition to the foregoing reasons, others include that knowledge of the Mother is not critical to our salvation; that it is being withheld to protect Her from our blasphemy; or that She without priesthood is marginal, impotent, or unworthy of the worship, praise and attention reserved for male Deity.
Since all of these conjectures are soundly debunked by scripture (if you know where to look), the most obvious reason why Heavenly Mother has not been revealed is demonstrated by the children's game of "hot and cold": that the Mormon folklore regarding this issue so far has been very, very, cold. To find the warmth of light and truth, one must travel in the opposite direction of the course initially thought correct. As the reasons offered so far span a range from the distasteful to the demeaning, the truth must be something that has never before been collectively considered: that the knowledge of Heavenly Mother is the greatest, most marvelous and astounding doctrine that can possibly be revealed to the mind of man; a knowledge so complex and powerful it could be revealed only at the apex of civilization.
If this were the case, everything we have ever learned throughout the ages and everything ever spoken or written by holy prophets is for the express purpose of preparing us to receive this sacred knowledge. It then becomes our mission to understand the true reason why God has chosen to reveal so many things to the inhabitants of this earth – but not the knowledge of Heavenly Mother. Yet how can this mystery be understood if any knowledge of it has been withheld? The answer is that we do know one thing about this knowledge: that it has never been revealed. Here the key to this great mystery is given, that to begin the search for the elusive knowledge of God the Mother, one simply needs to locate the things in the scriptures which are described as having "never been revealed."
As it turns out, the scriptures have much to say on things that have never been revealed, or more specifically, "things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world." Seven scriptures in particular when woven together shed perfect light on when the knowledge of Heavenly Mother will be revealed, to whom it will be revealed, and why it hasn't been revealed previously. Thus within holy scripture is found The Greatest Story Never Told.
First, let's focus on "when."
Modern-day scriptures D&C 27:13, 112:30 and 128:18 (listed at the bottom) reveal that we are living in a time period called "the last times," within which resides a special dispensation of the gospel called "the dispensation of the fulness of times." This is the final dispensation for this world and the only time in history when things which "never have been revealed from the foundation of the world" are slated to come forth. Though the latter scripture states that the "dispensation of the fulness of times" began to usher in with the revelation of the gospel to Joseph Smith, it can be supposed that this dispensation has not yet blossomed in full due to the fact that all things in heaven and on earth are not yet "gathered into one" (the literal Twelve Tribes of Israel, for instance). Therefore, the things that have never been revealed, including the knowledge of God the Mother, would only come forth in this particular dispensation, presumably in the near future when it begins to fully bloom. That pretty much takes care of the "when."
Next, let's focus on "whom."
Due to the "top-down" governing structure of the LDS church, it is a common belief that all knowledge concerning the nature of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ must come through authoritative channels (meaning the all-male priesthood leadership of the church) which is then passed along to the general membership. This assumption fosters a tendency in church members who desire knowledge about mysterious gospel topics to either passively wait for leaders to reveal new information in conferences and other venues or to actively petition them for revelation through letters or other media.
The scriptures, however, paint a different picture of how the knowledge that has never been revealed should come forth in this final dispensation. In D&C 128:18 it is written that the things which "never have been revealed from the foundation of the world" will be revealed specifically unto "babes and sucklings," a title defined by Jesus Christ Himself in Matthew 21:15-16 (Joseph Smith Translation included in italics):
"And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he (Jesus) did, and the children of the kingdom crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?"
The first verse presents a clear distinction between the priesthood authorities of the church (the chief priests and scribes) and the lay people of the church (or "children of the kingdom"), with Christ referring to the latter as the "babes and sucklings." It can then be concluded that "babes and sucklings" is a reference to the members of the church who specifically are not ordained to any priesthood office in the church, but are eligible nonetheless to enter the temple of God. Likening this scripture to our day, who are the temple-attending members of the LDS church that do not hold any priesthood office? There is only one answer: women.
What an astonishing prospect to consider that in the last days, the usual pattern of revelation from God (through the Spirit) to priesthood leaders, and from priesthood leaders to members will be turned on its head as new knowledge of God in this unique dispensation will be revealed through the Spirit to the women of the church, who would then reveal this knowledge back to priesthood leaders. But should it be so astonishing when we consider the many times throughout scripture where the Lord counts His work as complete only when the first becomes last and the last becomes first? "But remember that all my judgments are not given unto men; and as the words have gone forth out of my mouth even so shall they be fulfilled, that the first shall be last, and that the last shall be first in all things whatsoever I have created by the word of my power, which is the power of my Spirit." (D&C 29:30)
If this were so, it would certainly explain why no specific knowledge of Heavenly Mother has ever been revealed by God's ordained prophets – it was never meant to come through them in the first place. Incidentally, it would also attest that they are indeed true prophets, having never claimed such knowledge or published any official expositions on the subject despite the rising demand for revealed doctrine from women in the church. Most importantly, it would serve to explain why so many LDS women are being drawn toward feminist concerns as new knowledge of God the Mother can only be received by those who are asking the right questions, as LDS church origins so accurately demonstrate.
Last of all, "why?"
Like so many other scriptural interpretations, such positions regarding "when" and "whom" might be promptly dismissed if not concluded with a doctrinal explanation of "why." Why was the knowledge of God the Mother deliberately withheld from before the foundation of the world if knowing God is life eternal? Could the reason be worth the many generations of brutality, denigration and oppression inflicted upon women as a result of their perceived dissociation with the Divine? What would justify the centuries of misconception and strife caused by prolonged ignorance on this matter?
There is only one fitting explanation – one that could only be known by the Spirit of revelation, even that same Spirit which expounds every scripture and mystery of God. It begins with an understanding that God works according to certain patterns, and ends with a careful study of the last three scriptures: D&C 121:26-28, Matthew 11:27, and JST Luke 12:9-12.
The first reads,
"God shall give unto you knowledge by his Holy Spirit, yea, by the unspeakable gift of the Holy Ghost, that has not been revealed since the world was until now; Which our forefathers have awaited with anxious expectation to be revealed in the last times, which their minds were pointed to by the angels, as held in reserve for the fulness of their glory; A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest."
This restoration-era scripture clearly identifies the Holy Ghost, even the third member of the Godhead, as one of those things that "never has been revealed from the foundation of the world," unlike the Father and the Son. It explains that the complete knowledge of the Holy Ghost was reserved for a future time in which all the things of God would be revealed; whether there be one God or many gods, all would be made "manifest" in the "fulness of their glory."
This pattern of Godly manifestation, or the order in which God is revealed for the purpose of human comprehension, is found in the next scripture, Matthew 11:27, and is a pattern that can be applied to the Holy Ghost. It reads (JST included in italics):
"All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and they to whom the Son will reveal himself; they shall see the Father also."
While the modern reader might initially find this scripture difficult to interpret, with the aid of the references listed under footnote 'd' (Luke 10:22 and John 14:6-14) it is clear that this scriptural account establishes that the Son reveals the Father, as the chapter heading affirms.
If it is true that the Son reveals the Father, or in other words that one can only come to know or comprehend God the Father by first knowing God the Son, then why would this pattern not apply to the Holy Ghost? Could it be that one can only come to know God the Mother by first knowing God the Holy Ghost, in which the unveiling of the Holy Ghost would unlock the complete comprehension of the Mother, that they are "One," even as Jesus is "One" with the Father?
In order to address this question it is necessary to explore the reason why the knowledge of the Holy Ghost was deliberately reserved for the final dispensation of this world, which by extension would explain the dearth of knowledge concerning our Heavenly Mother. This reason is provided in the last of the seven scriptures, JST Luke 12:9-12:
"'But he who denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.'
Now his disciples knew that he (Jesus) said this, because they had spoken evil against him before the people; for they were afraid to confess him before men.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, He knoweth our hearts, and he speaketh to our condemnation, and we shall not be forgiven. But he answered them, and said unto them,
Whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, and repenteth, it shall be forgiven him; but unto him who blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him."
The last verse of this scripture thoroughly explains why God, of necessity, withheld the knowledge of the Holy Ghost until the fullness of the last dispensation: when the Holy Ghost is finally and dramatically unveiled to our full comprehension, any denying, blaspheming or "speaking against" this particular God shall not be forgiven in this life or the next. Rendered in the simplest terms, the complete manifestation of the Holy Ghost opens an individual to the solemn and terrifying possibility of becoming a son – or daughter – of perdition.
Though the concept of an unpardonable sin is as difficult to grasp today as it was in Jesus' day, Christ's oft-repeated warning about blasphemy against the Holy Ghost meriting the second death only makes sense when the pattern of Godly manifestation is applied to Heavenly Mother, and when Heavenly Mother is the all-powerful co-Creator God in the aforementioned book of Proverbs personified as "Wisdom." If the Holy Ghost reveals God the Mother, who is Wisdom Herself, then the manifestation of the Holy Ghost amounts to a full unveiling of the perfect knowledge of God, where all God's long-kept secrets and mysterious ways are fully disclosed to all humankind in clarity and in certainty. Once Wisdom, or Heavenly Mother, is finally revealed by and through the Holy Ghost, there will be no more mystery and no more doubt about who and what the only true God really is. The knowledge and existence of God will be as demonstrable and as provable as any scientific fact, which explains why it will be an unpardonable sin to deny it.
Using this perspective, it is plain to see that the knowledge of God the Mother was kept hidden throughout the ages not for Her own protection, but for ours. Wisdom, or Sophia (Greek translation), was ordained from the beginning to be revealed only in a time when Her children have been prepared to receive Her perfect knowledge with the full understanding that it comes at the ultimate price of spiritual death – even the Second Death - for those who deny it after receiving it in full. As formidable a cost it may seem, this is not the first time human beings have been faced with the prospect of death in exchange for the knowledge of God. In the Garden of Eden, the choice was just that – Adam and Eve were given an opportunity to become like God by partaking of the knowledge of good and evil, but the price of that knowledge was physical death (as well as a type of spiritual death).
Nearing the end of our probationary mortal estate in this final dispensation, it appears that the scriptures (or iron rod) have been subtly pointing our minds toward the fruit of the next tree essential to our progression – the fruit of the tree of the perfect knowledge of God, otherwise known as the Tree of Life, just as Lehi and Nephi's vision portrayed. This tree stands as a representation of God's Wisdom, which is God's Love – even the reproving, enduring, pure love of Christ known as Charity Herself. This First Vision we encounter in the Book of Mormon reveals it is the purpose of all scripture to seek and find Wisdom, to partake of Her fruit, and to live eternally in the perfect knowledge and love of God which should fill us with unspeakable joy if we do not heed the scorn of those who embrace the inferior wisdom of the world.
As is shown in Nephi's vision, it is only by and through the Spirit of the Lord, even the Holy Ghost, that we can come to know the true interpretation of the Tree of Life (of which Mary is a type) and Her fruit, just as we can only come to know the Father by and through the Son. Like the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, once it is eaten there is no going back.
And here is where the story begins.
Scripture References:
1- D&C 27:13: "Unto whom I have committed the keys of my kingdom, and a dispensation of the gospel for the last times; and for the fulness of times, in the which I will gather together in one all things, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;"
2- D&C 112:30: "For unto you, the Twelve, and those, the First Presidency, who are appointed with you to be your counselors and your leaders, is the power of this priesthood given, for the last days and for the last time, in the which is the dispensation of the fulness of times.
3- D&C 128:18: "I might have rendered a plainer translation to this, but it is sufficiently plain to suit my purpose as it stands. It is sufficient to know, in this case, that the earth will be smitten with a curse unless there is a welding link of some kind or other between the fathers and the children, upon some subject or other—and behold what is that subject? It is the baptism for the dead. For we without them cannot be made perfect; neither can they without us be made perfect. Neither can they nor we be made perfect without those who have died in the gospel also; for it is necessary in the ushering in of the dispensation of the fulness of times, which dispensation is now beginning to usher in, that a whole and complete and perfect union, and welding together of dispensations, and keys, and powers, and glories should take place, and be revealed from the days of Adam even to the present time. And not only this, but those things which never have been revealed from the foundation of the world, but have been kept hid from the wise and prudent, shall be revealed unto babes and sucklings in this, the dispensation of the fulness of times."
4- Matthew 21:15-16 (Joseph Smith Translation included in italics): "And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children of the kingdom crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased,
And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?"

A time to come in the which nothing shall be withheld, whether there be one God or many gods, they shall be manifest."

The More The Merrier – George Stevens
Although Mr. Dingle no longer lives in the apartment, he still manages to play Cupid by engineering an evening in which he manages to get Connie away from Pendergast and alone with Joe. In one sequence, she reminds the soldier that she is engaged to Pendergast since he becomes somewhat amorous, kissing her neck; Connie continues to speak fondly of Pendergast, but it is apparent that her emotions are weakening toward Joe. Inside the apart¬ment later on, they admit that they love each other but Joe is scheduled to leave Washington the next day.
At this point the fates seem to take the upper hand as-the FBI shows up to take Joe into custody. Apparently, in a rash moment, Joe has scared away a pestering neighborhood boy by claiming that he was a Japanese spy, and the boy has reported him to the authorities.
Joe's denials avail him little, and he finds himself and Connie at the police station trying in vain to explain the situation. In the ensuing confusion, both Dingle and Pendergast turn up, with the latter horrified to see his betrothed in custody. As he hears the story, however, he becomes less interested in the claims that Joe is a spy, and more, interested in the revelation that he has been sharing Connie's apartment. It is a development that he can scarcely tolerate. Simultaneously, one of the newspapermen, knowing that Pendergast is a government official, sees the making of a great story as Pendergast sees the making of a great scandal; his future would certainly be ruined by being linked to such a scandalous woman. Pendergast therefore steadfastly maintains that the only solution to this sticky situation is for Connie to marry Joe quickly and then get an immediate annulment. This is a side of Pendergast that Connie has not seen before, and she finds it distasteful. She agrees reluctantly to his idea, however, and she and Joe, cleared of the charges that he is a foreign agent, return to the apartment, where they regretfully agree to play out Pendergast's scheme. Mr. Dingle, however, convinces them to get married but not have an annulment, leading them at the film's finale in a chorus of his favorite saying: "Damn the torpedoes! Full steam ahead!"
The role of Connie was one of Jean Arthur's best; her winsome charm suited the working-girl character perfectly, and a more glamorous star in the same role might have robbed it of credibility. McCrea, another successful "Everyman" type of character, is likewise effective as Joe. Most, however, agreed that the film was stolen by Charles Coburn, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his rich comic performance. The film's other nominations included Jean Arthur for Best Actress, Stevens for Best Director, Ross and Russell for Best Original Screenplay, and the film for Best Picture. The basic plot of The More the Merrier was updated and remade as Walk Don't Run (1966), starring Cary Grant in the Coburn role, with the romantic leads Samantha Eggar and Jim Hutton. Capitalizing on the housing shortage in Tokyo during the 1964 Olympics, the remake was a pale shadow of the original, lacking the innate charm given it by the stylish direction of George Stevens.
