|Jump Canada Announces Co-Chairs for the High Performance Committee
|| Print |
July 31, 2010 — Jump Canada is pleased to announce that Terrance 'Torchy' Millar has agreed to remain in his current role as Chair of the Jump Canada High Performance Committee for a further two years. Effective immediately, Torchy Millar and Mark Laskin have been appointed as Co-chef d'equipes of the Canadian Show Jumping Team.
Torchy has been the Chair of Jump Canada's High Performance Committee since 2004, leading Canada to numerous victories in Nations' Cup competitions. Torchy was also the chef d'equipe when Canada won unprecedented Team Silver and Individual Gold Medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Mark Laskin, who rode on many Nations' Cup teams for Canada, has assisted Torchy in his role for the last two years. Both Mark and Torchy are enthusiastic about the new structure, as they feel that it will give the High Performance Committee better coverage of the country as a whole. Mark resides in Western Canada while Torchy is in the East, allowing them to share country-wide perspectives.
Mark Laskin will continue to assist Torchy in his role as Chair of High Performance. The next major event for the new Co-chefs will be at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky, this fall. They are also preparing for the $350,000 BMO Nations' Cup at Spruce Meadows as well as for the Spanish Tour taking place in September, where Canada will field Nations' Cup teams in Gijon as well as in the FEI Promotional League Final in Barcelona.

Why FAQ on growing peppers and growing sweet peppers? I get a lot of mail on a daily basis. Many of the emails have the same theme....about "How to grow peppers" or "Growing pepper plants in Michigan" or "Planting Bell Peppers in Dallas". I'm committed to answering every question about the 'how to' on growing peppers from seed to growing pepper plants. And growing them WELL. So we do answer every email personally...but with the rush of day to day operations, many answers are short and to the point. I decided to do this extensive FAQ that probably answers 90% of the most common Hot Pepper Planting questions from A to Z. I hope it helps. Epson Salt and fertilizers Dear Pepper Joe, Oh Master of everything Hot and Spicy, I have a question. You frequently recommend using epson salt on Hot Pepper plants. Why and how much should I use? Any other tips, oh wise one, on fertilizers? M. Wells, Charlotte, NC Hi M. Epsom salt delivers a immediate shot-in-the arm of magnesium to the plants and boost growth when applied as a foliar spray. Mix 2 tablespoons of Epson Salt in an average size spray bottle...shake it vigorously and apply to plant every 2 weeks with a thorough soaking. My favorite fertilizer is Fish Emulsion. I like it because it is a great all-around fertilizer and 100% organic. An alternative if Organic isn't important to you is Miracle-gro or it's equivalent. Use your choice of fertilizer every other week on alternate weeks from the Epson Salt spray. Therefore, your Chile plants are getting fed weekly. Fiery Regards, Pepper Joe Pesticides Hi Pepper Joe. First, let me tell you how happy I am with your germination rates. I bought the Bolivian Rainbow, Peter Pepper, Thai Sun, Turkish Cayenne, Hot lemon and Golden Habanero. By the way...that Golden Habanero is HOT!!! Ouch! Anyway, all peppers plants sprouted and every seed but 2 (I planted maybe 100 seeds) germinated. I've never done so well. My question is this. My plants have some aphids on the undersides of the leaves. What type of pesticide do you recommend? Julie Hey there Julie, I'm thrilled to hear about your wonderful germination percents. I get a lot of satisfaction when I hear glowing reports like yours. My pesticide of choice is to mix 1 teaspoon of dishsoap in a large spray bottle and apply directly to plants and try to get a direct hit on the bugs. The dishsoap is biodegradable and will stick to the plant and linger until you get a rain. Here's how it works. Soft bodied insects basically breathe through their skin and it suffocates them. With hard bodied insects it gives them a deadly case of dysentery. It works on most insects...very effective on Aphids...and is non toxic to your plants. By the way, it is the Ants that kinda 'Herd' the aphids. They carry them up the plants so the aphids can suck the sap out of the leaves. Then those smart lil' ants 'Milk' the aphids...much as we do with cows. Ants hate citrus rinds...particularly oranges. So make a mix of your leftover citrus peels in the blender with some water and put at the base of the plants. It won't kill the ants but usually they will move on. Bottling Hot Peppers What's up Big Pepper Guy? I have a ton of your Jalapeno peppers and want to put them up in bottles. Any advice? Duke AKA/ Pepper Stud Duke, I get asked this question a lot. I recycle bottles that I save from other stuff that has a plastic seal at the top...like mayonnaise jars, pickle jars, etc. I like a mixture of 2/3 distilled white vinegar and water. I add 1 tsp. of salt and 1/2 tsp. of turmeric as an added preservative. That is the basic recipe. When I want to get fancy I'll add a few cloves of garlic and bay leaves. Also, picking spice gives it a lot of extra flavor. Experiment and have some fun with it. Keep the Chile Faith Pepper Stud, Pepper Joe
Freezing Peppers Can I freeze my peppers? Last year I made a delicious Hot Sauce (from the recipe on your website) but this year I'd like to freeze them and use that way. Yes, Peppers are easy to freeze. Just rinse well and let dry. Slice off the stem and a tiny bit of the shoulder...just enough to expose the flesh. Put them in sealed baggies and freeze. When you thaw them out they are like fresh Hot Peppers. They keep well, at least for a year. Enjoy! PJ Hot Hands Pepper Joe Help!!!!! I just cut down a bunch of Hot Peppers to dry and my hands are burning. Worse yet, I touched a delicate body part and OH MY...I'm in pain. Anything to give me fast relief? Pepper Bob in Arkansas.....Help!! Pepper Bob, I can relate. Not that you want to hear this now but an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Wear plastic gloves next time. For now the best cure I've found is wash your hands in pure dishsoap...without water for at least a minute. The dishsoap will pull out most of the 'Chile Oil'..like it pulls out grease and oils from dishes. After you start to get some relief rinse off well. Nothing takes 100% of the burn out immediately but this will help. Pepper Joe Overwintering Peppers/Growing indoors
Hi Pepper Joe. Thanks for answering my last question so quickly about garden pests. My Peter Peppers are the talk of the neighborhood. I have many of the women in the neighborhood blushing. Ha! I know you like container gardening. When I brought my Orange Habanero plant indoors many of the leaves fell off. Will it survive? Worried in Wilmington. Dear Worried, NOT to worry. When you bring container grown peppers indoors they go into a state of semi-dormancy. Meaning, they will not grow much...some varieties will continue to ripen for a while...but basically the growth slows down. Initially several varieties drop leaves due to the climatic change. It is not a problem. The major reason to overwinter plants is to keep them alive and take out in late spring/early summer the following year and get a big jump on production and crop. Their requirements are few. Bring plants indoors before first expected frost in a location that gets some sun. Water every few weeks while indoors and fertilize lightly about once a month. They will flourish when you bring them back outdoors. Bring plants indoors before first expected frost in a location that gets some sun. Prune the limbs back into 4" Crotches". Leave about 8 to 12 of these. Basically you're pruning back about 2/3 of your pepper plants. Water every few weeks while indoors and fertilize lightly about once a month. Below is a good video on over wintering your pepper plants or click here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiXGM0MFAVc&list=TL0Ihhb5alajExcKNflgZyiFrNKYTipV94 They will flourish when you bring them back outdoors. I'm frequently asked if you can grow peppers indoors and the answer is yes. There was a time when I did not recommend it...but with grow lights now and hydroponic gardening indoors...we have many customers that are growing peppers indoors all year long very successfully. We're not experts at that so look online or on Google for more information. How about those Peter Peppers, Huh?
Fiery Regards,
Pepper Joe

Refusing Silence By Tess Gallagher
Heartbeat trembling
your kingdom
of leaves
near the ceremony
of water, I never
insisted on you. I admit
I delayed. I was the Empress
of Delay. But it can't be
put off now. On the sacred branch
of my only voice – I insist.
Insist for us all,
which is the job
of the voice, and especially
of the poet. Else
what am I for, what use
am I if I don't
There are messages to send.
Gatherings and songs.
Because we need
to insist. Else what are we
for? What use
are we?

One More Day
For about the last 2-3 weeks, the sentiment around the Twins organization has been to just continue to play meaningful baseball for as long as possible. Well, that plan was in serious jeopardy earlier this afternoon, as a loss against the Tigers would have eliminated the Twins from playoff contention.
Thankfully, the Twins were able to win a sloppy game (Baker only went five innings, and the defense committed four errors) thanks to the offense's ability to pick away at Nate Robertson in the early innings and the bullpen shutting the door (besides two unearned runs) for the rest of the way for the 8-3 victory.
Of course, were not this essentially an elimination game for the Twins, the big story would have been the bad blood that permeated the atmosphere all day long between both clubs.
It all started when Scott Baker skidded a pitch right by the face of Marcus Thames…
Thames glared out towards Baker, but then quietly took his base after being hit. It didn't look as if Baker had an intention of plunking him, especially in such an important game, and there really isn't any history between the two.
The next batter then grounded a ball that looked like a double-play all the way, but Thames slid hard into Orlando Cabrera and wasn't called out for interference…
Was it a close play? Certainly, as the tip of Thames' toes did touch the base. Yet, it was clear that his intentions were to get in O-Cab's grill. Borderline dirty, especially if Cabrera would have been injured on the play, but understandable if you are Thames and still feeling the wind of that fastball by your chin.
Things heated right back up again in the next inning, when Thames stepped back into the box. A high hard one forced Thames to move out of the box a bit, and he took a long glare out at Baker before reconsidering a charge. Again, I really couldn't determine intention from the pitch, as it wasn't thrown at his body and I don't think Baker would ever purposely throw at a guy's head.
Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of things either. Who knows who (manager, player himself, etc.) instigates these things, but when Jose Mijares came into the game to relieve Matt Guerrier in the eighth, his first pitch sailed right behind Adam Everett. This time, it was clear that retaliation was the name of the game, and both benches were warned, leading to the tossing of one manager (although not the one Twins fans would expect)…
Described as the "Ron Gardenhire Memorial Ejection" by the TV announcers, Jim Leyland was booted by home plate ump Angel Hernandez. It was clear that the Tigers were now miffed, and it didn't take too long for the final straw to break.
In the top of the ninth, leadoff batter Delmon Young was quickly plunked in the calf by Jeremy Bonderman, who was promptly give the old heave-ho by Hernandez. But then, one of the strangest sights I had ever seen transpired behind home plate…
Young, in obvious pain after getting hit in what looked to be square on the calf muscle, hopped around for a bit until the pain had subsided, then starting having words with a member of his one team! No Tiger player was within ten feet of him, and Young was mouthing obscenities and pointing towards his home dugout. Both benches emptied at that point, but by the time the bullpens got into things nothing really had developed (no punches or kicks thrown).
Dick and Bert were at a bit of a loss in deciphering what had set Delmon Young off, but the only thing they could think of is that Young was angry at Mijares for instigating the beanball war the previous inning. You know, were this not happening in a crucial point of the season, I think that Young would be a big story in the papers and media. To have words with your own teammate who's just trying to have your back is upsetting, especially coming from a guy who might still be best known in professional baseball for this unsavory incident…
Like I said, little will be made of this incident in the coming days due to the pennant chase, but if Go-Go is playing the outfield at the Dome tomorrow you'll know why.
Preview (83-76, 2nd, 2.0 GB DET): Lenny DiNardo (0-2, 7.52) vs. Jeff Manship (0-1, 5.81). The Tigers draw Peavy tomorrow, while the pitchers in this game leave little to be desired or hoped for. Could be a crazy one!
This Is Why I Don't Like Math
I contemplated doing a lengthy piece tonight about how the Twins are done and how it finally came to this point. With the Tigers' magic number down to 2 to clinch the AL Central, things sure are looking grim for our boys.
However, if there's one thing I've learned over the past few years, it has been to never give up on the Twins. They seem to play their best with their backs up against the wall, and I'm hoping that proves true tomorrow as well.
Here's the way I look at it: A loss tomorrow and the whole ball of wax is gone, that much is mathematical. However, a win would actually swing some momentum back in our favor a little bit. Would we be in great position? No. But at least Detroit would have to beat the likes of Jake Peavy, Freddy Garcia, and John Danks, while we would get Zack Grienke on our turf and than not much else from the Royals.
So, I'm not giving up yet. Two seasons of Twins late-season heroics ('06, '08) are on my side. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
Preview (82-76, 2nd, 3.0 GB DET): Scott Baker (14-9, 4.48) vs. Nate Robertson (2-2, 5.56).
Why Exactly Are We Moving Out Of Here Again?
Well folks, here we go again!! As common as .500 baseball has been for the Twins over the past two or three seasons, just as common has been incredibly inspired late-season play.
After taking the first game in this playoff-like Dome series against the Tigers last night thanks to the brilliant pitching of Brian Duensing, the Twins needed to keep the momentum going this afternoon and did so in spectacular fashion.
For the first seven innings, this game was the tightest of pitchers duels, with Carl Pavano's hex on the Tiger bats matching Justin Verlander's 99 mph heater. Both teams got a run early, and the Tigers scored again in the third to go up 2-1, a score that would hold until the bottom of the eighth inning.
Really, though, the momentum in this game began to shift in the top half of that inning. With Pavano out of the game after having pitched incredibly well, the ball was given to the ever-shaky Jesse Crain…who proceeded to get three quick outs on just eleven pitches (I probably should heap the credit on Crain tonight, as somewhere along the line I will be quick to jump all over him a bit later).
Of course, things didn't look all that bad for Verlander in that fateful eighth to begin with, as Punto struck out and Span hit one of his patented singles to land on first. Orlando Cabrera then lifted a lazy fly ball to left field that Don Kelly, who had been put into the game as a defensive substition just an inning previous, easily had measured…until he didn't, of course, and the ball dropped to put runners on second and third. With opposing teams only having to deal with those kind of Dome Balls for five more contests, the baseball gods must be getting their money's worth.
Joe Mauer was intentionally walked to load the bases, but Jason Kubel promptly doinked a single into left that scored both Span and Cabrera to give the Twins a lead. That was the end of the night for Verlander, but the firemen didn't do much better, as Brandon Lyon quickly served up a three-run jack to the suddenly red-hot Michael Cuddyer to give the Twins a 6-2 cushion, which would amount to the final score.
For the first time in quite awhile, I am seriously considering watching the Twins over the Vikings tomorrow afternoon. I usually award that time-slot to the footballers due to their once-a-week status, but there is just too much excitement emanating from the Metrodome right now to turn away! Since the Vikes start at noon and the Twins' opening pitch is 1:10, I'll at least have a bit of time to see how the Vikes game is going (maybe they'll be beating the Lions so badly it won't even be a decision!).
Preview (76-72, 2nd, 2.0 GB DET): Nate Robertson (1-2, 5.35) vs. Scott Baker (13-8, 4.35). Basically, this game could decide the season. A win pretty much evens things up, while a loss likely means that perfection will be needed down the stretch.

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Brandi Glanville was forced to move out of her Beverly Hills home this past week. As if she doesn't have enough trouble with her ongoing child custody battles and the constant rumors that she is broke, Glanville set tongues wagging once again as she packed up and moved into a temporary home. A Friday report by Radar Online claims that Brandi Glanville was forced to move out of her Beverly Hills home because the landlord wanted to up her rent.
Despite having already secured a furnished home for herself and children, Glanville referred to herself as homeless in a self-pitying tweet. She said, "Interesting what friends give me a hard time when we are stressed out and homeless." Apparently she has a different definition of the word "homeless" than most others. Not much time had passed before she tweeted again and said, "I'm loving our new digs in BH."
Brandi goes on to thank her movers, making sure to note that she is in "good hands." She was also vocal on Twitter about the reason for her move. Apparently the landlord double charged her for 2 weeks rent. At least that's what she is claiming. In her profanity laced Twitter account, Brandi talks about how shadiness of the owner of her former home.
Glanville is known to make up a story or two to get some sympathy. Who knows if she moved out because the landlord truly is shady or if she just couldn't pony up the rent anymore. She has two jobs though between "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and "Celebrity Apprentice" so why is she having so many financial problems still?
Brandi Glanville has complained that she had to build her credit after the split with Eddie Cibrian. She claims her name was on nothing and she had to pay a year in advance on her first lease. She also said Eddie now wants child support from her and she doesn't feel like she should have to pay up.
What do you think of Glanville's current "homeless" claims? Is she just being extra dramatic again? Leave your opinion of this "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star in the comments below.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- Space shuttle Discovery's astronauts won't need to make an extra spacewalk after all.
NASA had been considering a fourth spacewalk to fix a stuck valve at the International Space Station. But Mission Control told the crew early Thursday the repairs could wait. Discovery remains on schedule to depart the space station Saturday. The nitrogen valve failed to open earlier this week after the astronauts put in a new ammonia tank for the space station's cooling system.
Engineers on the ground have determined the space station can operate with the problem for at least a month. Flight controllers will continue trying opening the valve by remote. If that doesn't work, the space station crew may have to make the spacewalking repairs.

If you've never done it before, you may have a few questions about interracial dating. Spending time with someone of another race or culture is not a huge deal since, after all, we're all human and pretty much want the same things out of life...love, acceptance and good times. The following are just a few things to be aware of to help make your first interracial dating experience an enjoyable one for yourself and for the person you're going out with.
Don't Make Racial Differences Your Central Focus
Yes, you're bound to discover a number of differences between yourself and your date. While racial differences should be acknowledged and even celebrated, avoid deliberately looking for ways to point these differences out, especially if they have no relevance to the moment. Instead, it's far more appropriate to seek the things you have in common, particularly when first getting to know someone. In short, don't let a person's race (or your own) become the focal point of your relationship.
Don't Make Racial Jokes or Slurs
Believe it or not, some people believe that dating someone of another race makes it okay for them to tell an off-color joke about that race or to make outright racial slurs in jest. In their minds, this isn't a display of bigotry since, after all, they are dating someone of said race. Whether or not this is ever acceptable deserves question. It is not ever acceptable, however, when first getting to know someone. In fact, it's probably the best way to ensure that you'll never get a second date.
Expect a Few Stares
In some places, interracial dating barely raises an eyebrow. Yet and still, some may be prone to staring at interracial couples and others may even go as far as to make pointed comments. Expect this and decide now not to let such experiences overshadow your date.
It may help to further understand that some may stare due to an admiration for interracial dating. Others may not even make strong note of racial differences, but may stare for reasons such as thinking you make a nice couple. Either way, most people who date interracially experience extra attention at some time or another, so don't be surprised or offer a reaction if or when it happens to you.
Be Sensitive About the Location of Your Date
Let's face it, there are some areas where interracial dating is no big deal. Then there are others where you, your date or both of you may be met with hostility. As much as this shouldn't be a "thing" the truth is that you will have to give some forethought as to the places you go when dating outside of your race. It's sad to have to think about such in this day and age, but it's sometimes necessary. The last thing that you want to do is place yourself or your date in harm's way.
Compliment, But Do Not Obsess
There will be some obvious physical differences between you and your date. A different hair texture, shape of the eyes, skin color and eye color are likely things that you are attracted to, which is great. Be aware, however, that some people fetishize these same things and you may make your date very uncomfortable if you appear to obsess over them. So, compliment, yes, but do not go all creepy and let comments about these differences dominate the conversation.
Follow these tips for interracial dating and you're that much closer to having a great time. You may even want to give them a try after meeting someone at InterracialDatingCentral.com. However, ignore this advice and you run the risk of provoking your date's ire. The choice is yours.

World Record. These two words and the Bob Mathias Fresno Relays have become synonymous for well over a half decade. In what has become an annual rite of spring in the San Joaquin Valley, the West's most visible meet has long attacked some of the world's finest athletes onto the hallowed ground at Ratcliffe Stadium until continuing its success at Warmerdam Field. Along with its predecessor, the West Coast Relays, the Bob Mathias Fresno Relays has had 40 world records broken or tied in the 76-year history of the meet. The greatest athletes of the valley - Bob Mathias, Dutch Warmerdam, Rafer Johnson, Tommie Smith and Lee Evans - began competing in high school at the West Coast Relays.
The meet has also seen the spawning of some top stars outside of track and field circles. Baseball great Jackie Robinson, football stars O.J. Simpson, Ollie Matson, Henry Ellard, Willie Gault and Ron Brown and basketball's Bill Russell received some of their first claims to fame at Ratcliffe Stadium.
But the Bob Mathias Fresno Relays is not just for the world class athlete. Since its inception in 1927, the meet has included grammar school, high school and junior college events, tying the valley and the local community into one of the most successful track and field meets in the nation. A fan can watch and cheer for the local athlete, and at the same time view some of the finest athletes the world has seen. This diversity is what makes the meet so unique, and why the tradition has carried on and grown for so many years.

The Cats claimed the opening 200 medley relay event when the foursome of Sarah Denninghoff, Chelsey Salli, Aubrey Peacock and Margo Geer recorded a 1:43.96 for the win.

Today is Father's Day. It is and should be a day of celebration. Let Dad, as the joke goes, sit and have a beer and watch the ball game. In short, what he does all the time anyway.
But there is a serious issue here. For years the importance of fatherhood was neglected, and very often by the very fathers we are expected to honor and emulate. Much of it began with government aid programs. When dad became superfluous because our father in Washington would take care of his family anyway, many dads took the message as having taken patriarchical responsibility from their own shoulders, and started to live accordingly. The effects of the broken homes and lack of discipline this encouraged are still being felt in many communities today.
Then, rather than do things which respected families as whole units, mom, dad, and the kids, we began to look at single parenthood, which translated into pure matriarchy, as a virtue. Now, that surely can be. Sometimes it is forced upon mothers with the loss of a father through death or abandonment and may be genuinely heroic in that context. Yet it is hard to believe that most mothers would want that. Most would certainly want the aid of the other parent if for no other reason than help with daily trials. But more, any good parent should see that proper guidance is needed from the masculine and feminine. There is a reason that the right family structure involves both. Each one instructs in its own way, and through which a complete individual is better born.
So on this Father's Day it is best to remember that fathers are needed every day in many ways. If your dad is here, have a beer with him and watch a few innings of the game next to him. If he has passed, have the beer anyway and listen as he nonetheless watches a few innings with you. And if he has simply shirked his responsibilities, pray that he finds the courage to return to his correct role. For as with good mothers, without good fathers we are not whole. No one wants to be half a person.

Can the scrum master be a programmer on the team and take the role of scrum master just for now?
As is done in the time you must make a plan?
Can the scrum master be a programmer on the team and take the role of scrum master just for now?
As is done in the time you must make a plan?
Technically yes, they can. Unlike Jesse, I don't have any preset preference whether the roles should or should not be mixed. I would more look at the context and current team's needs and then decide whether you need have your Scrum Master (SM) full time or not.
In every case remember: some experimentation will definitely be helpful. Start with one approach, see how it works and don't be afraid to change it or tweak it to see whether another setup isn't better. You will also notice that situation changes over time and you should adapt to it on organizational level, which means you might want to change your approach over time.
Yes, this is possible, however ideally I personally believe the scrum master role should be a dedicated role per sprint. If developers want to pass around the role of Scrum Master on the team that is fine.
If you want to "dual role", there some some pitfalls to be aware of:
Yes, there is nothing to prevent a programmer from being the scrum master.
When one of the programmers on the team taks on this role it is important for them to have a good appreciation for the amount of time that they will be committing to the role.
If they are doing it full time it is important that they don't assign any tasks to themselves.
If they try to do a 50/50 split give them the time to find out if they are allocating enough time to themselves to do their development tasks. A good way of checking this is to have regular post-mortems after each sprint.

by Albert Camus
The Plague Part 4, Chapter 4 Summary
- So let's talk about Father Paneloux. He's joined Rieux's workers and has been are the forefront of the fight ever since. Since the day they all saw M. Othon's son die, he's been a little different (troubled, perhaps is the word).
- He's also writing an essay called "Is a Priest Justified in Consulting a Doctor?"
- Paneloux gives another sermon, though this time to a smaller congregation (possibly because everyone realized the first sermon didn't do anything, possibly because everyone keeps dying).
- Actually, the narrator clarifies, it's because the novelty isn't there this time. In fact, the word "novelty" has lost its meaning altogether.
- Superstition, it seems, has replaced religion. Concurrently, interest has risen in old prophecies that the population looks toward to explain the plague.
- Obviously, there is money to be made here. The printing firms capitalize on the craze. When they run out of real historical prophecies, they just make up new predictions. Reassuring ones, of course.
- The point is, the church is only three-quarters full when Paneloux delivers his sermon. Everyone notices that instead of saying "you," he now says "we."
- He says he still believes in what he said the first time around (that the people of Oran deserved the plague, we guess), but he admits there wasn't much "charity" in his words.
- We should look on the bright side, he says: everything is always for the best! This means there's a lesson to be learned here.
- Of course, he continues, there is good and there is evil; but we have trouble when we examine the nature of evil, like a child suffering.
- He'd like to tell us that the child will be compensated in heaven for his pain, but quite honestly, he doesn't know that for sure.
- Basically, Paneloux confesses, his back is to the wall. He, and in fact all of them, have to either believe everything or deny everything. Religion, it seems, is a package deal.
- After all, he says, the religion of plague time can't be the religion of regular time.
- Once, Paneloux tells us, a historical writer guy (who remains nameless) tried to say that everyone was either a Christian or not; either saved, or damned.
- When we experience this complete acceptance, he reveals, we can understand that a child suffering is God's will, and therefore it's OK.
- Now, he knows that the "ugly word 'fatalism'" will be applied to this. He's fine with this, as long as people call it "active fatalism."
- So, somehow, we need to accept that God wants it this way (hence the "fatalism"), but at the same time fight against it (hence the word "active").
- Father Paneloux tells them of an outbreak of the Black Death at Marseille where 77 of 81 monks died, three fled, and only one stayed behind. He insists with a banging of his fist: "My brothers, each one of us must be the one who stays!"
- He then refers to the Black Death (a.k.a. the plague) at Marseille and one Bishop Belzunce, who he claims shut himself up in a palace with food to avoid the plague. The people responded by throwing dead, infected bodies over the walls at him to make sure he died.
- (Historical Note: As far as we can tell, Bishop Belzunce is historically portrayed as a hero during this outbreak at Marseille. Either Camus got this history wrong, or he paints a deliberate portrait of Father Paneloux misrepresenting – intentionally or not – the true events of history.)
- Right about the time Paneloux gets to the part about children contributing their share to God's divine message, a violent gust of wind sweeps through the doors of the church, bringing with it rain and blatant symbolism.
- As he leaves the church, Rieux overhears an elderly priest and a younger deacon discussing the sermon: the elder believes it betrayed an uneasiness on the part of Paneloux.
- The young deacon reveals that The Church (that is, the institution of men) is none too happy with Paneloux; it's illogical, he says, for a priest to call in a doctor.
- Rieux later relates this conversation to Tarrou, who replies cryptically that when a religious man witnesses a young man who has lost his eyes, that religious man must either lose his faith, or consent to have his own eyes destroyed.
- The narrator prepares us to keep these words in mind while we witness the following "regrettable events."
- A few days after his sermon, Paneloux is asked to move his residence. A lot of people have had to do this, we are told, because of plague conditions. Tarrou, for example, now lives with Rieux, since his own hotel has become a place of quarantine.
- So Paneloux moves in with an elderly woman. Meanwhile, he doesn't look so good, health-wise. Also, he doesn't get along with this woman; it's nothing serious, but it certainly doesn't help when everyone is on edge to begin with.
- The only account we have of what is to follow, the narrator tells us, comes from the lips of this old woman.
- Seeing Paneloux sick one morning, she suggests calling a doctor. He vetoes the idea, so she leaves him alone.
- He later sends for her to insist that he doesn't have the plague (none of its symptoms, he says), and again refuses a doctor, as it is against his principles.
- So she continues to take care of him, without a doctor, with tea and check-ups and such. He seems restless, sweaty, incoherent, and all around unwell.
- By the following morning he looks even worse; he still declines to see a doctor, but wishes to be taken to the hospital so as to comply with regulations.
- The old woman rushes to the phone and calls Rieux; when the doctor arrives, the priest is indifferent.
- Rieux finds no sign of the plague, though the priest is obviously ill. Paneloux declines Rieux's offer to stay with him, as "priests can have no friends" other than God.
- Paneloux is taken to the hospital where he stares continuously at a crucifix. He coughs up some blood and shortly thereafter dies.
- We end the chapter on the image of the index card recording his name and the words "Doubtful case."
- Oh, Camus. You're just so clever. We don't even know what to do with you.

In advance of last month's air strikes by the Pakistani Air Force along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, Taliban fighters bolted for local barber shops.
Looking for ways to disguise themselves, some 700 Taliban and local Uzbeks militants flocked into towns in North Waziristan demanding tightly trimmed beards and very short haircuts from local barbers. Most said they were leaving the war torn area for the Gulf and wanted to avoid being detained at Pakistani airports, specifically Islamabad.
Today, July 8, the Pakistani Air Force carried out more airstrikes in the North Waziristan tribal village of Degan, a longtime stronghold of Taliban militants. Reportedly there were 13 deaths in today's bombardments.
Waziristan is in the northeast region of Pakistan where the border with Afghanistan is porous; in fact for the most part, even locals have a hard time knowing where the Pakistan border ends and becomes Afghanistan in the high reaches of the Hindu Kush, with elevations more than 3,000 feet above sea level.
Nearly half a million refugees in the rugged war-torn region have fled since the first of June when Pakistan unleashed their military force on the Taliban. It is estimated that some 400 militants have been killed in the offensive. Journalists are not permitted in the area, so actual statistics on the number of war causalities, including civilians, militants, and military is not verifiable.

The Harrison Waterfront Redevelopment
Plan represents one of the great opportunities for
redevelopment in the State of New Jersey. While many
former industrial areas in the State and the nation have
undergone revitalization, the Harrison Redevelopment
Plan has the potential to be a project of world class
scale. The designated redevelopers have submitted plans
which call for an array of uses that capitalize on the
presence of the Harrison PATH Station and the Passaic
The Plan seeks to unite the developers' proposals with a
design theme rich in industrial, cultural, and
environmental identity. Through exemplary design based
on the history and heritage of the Area, the Waterfront
Redevelopment Plan will forge a bold new identity for
Harrison. None of this could have been achieved were it
not for the vision possessed by the Town of Harrison - a
vision that has been validated by the interest of seven
redevelopers. Together, their proposals will create a
vibrant mixed-use, transit-oriented, pedestrian -scale
development that will make Harrison a regional
destination for years to come.
Our new state of the art soccer
stadium is the home of the Red Bull New York Major
League Soccer team, located in Harrison, New Jersey. The
stadium has a capacity of about 25,000 or more. It
features a full wavy translucent European-style roof
that covers all of the seats in the stadium but not the
pitch. The stadium sits alongside the Passaic River with
a view of the Newark, New Jersey, skyline. The
stadium is accessible via public transportation at the
PATH train station stop at Harrison.
This is A joint venture between the
principals, Millennium Homes and the Roseland Property
Company. Mixed-use development ( estimated details ).
1000 residential units with approximately 800 2-bedroom
units, 100 3- bedroom units and 100 1-bedroom units with
1500 parking spaces. 40,000 square feet of neighborhood
retail space with parking shared with commercial/office
units ( see below ). 800,000 square feet of commercial/
office space with 3,200 parking spaces. It is estimated
that approximately 100 residential units will come on
line per year beginning in the spring of 2007 and 2,000
square feet of retail coming on line by the spring of
2010. As of 2008, no timeframe is currently available
for office space at this time due to market conditions.

What Is A Structured Settlement In A Medical Malpractice Case
There are two types of medical malpractice settlements: structured settlements and lump sum settlements. These represent different ways of organizing payments received by a successful plaintiff. You will want to determine whether you want a structured settlement or a lump sum settlement before you file your medical malpractice claim. Your medical malpractice lawyer will walk you through the process of filing either one, but it is important to know the difference.
Difference Between Lump Sum And Structured Settlement
A lump sum settlement is what it sounds like - you receive all the money from the lawsuit at one time in a single payment. You will then use this big pot of money to pay any bills that need to be paid at the hospital or as a result of not being able to work. This money will have to last you for the rest of the time that your life is affected by illness or condition caused by the medical malpractice.
With a structured settlement, you receive money gradually to be used to pay for any expenses deemed to have resulted from the medical malpractice. Typically, a large sum of money is initially awarded to pay off outstanding bills, then a smaller sum is given each month to pay for the month's medical bills, living expenses and loss of quality of life. For temporary conditions, a structured settlement has a lifespan equivalent to the standard span of the disease or condition. For permanent condition, a structured settlement may pay for medicine and hospital care for life.
Advantages Of A Structured Settlement
The main advantage of a structured settlement has to do with taxes. For the lump sum settlement, you have to pay taxes on everything. With a structured settlement, different sets of taxes apply to different payments, so you might be able to enjoy significant cash savings in the thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Structured settlements also offer a greater chance that the plaintiff will engage in sound financial planning rather than simply spend all the money from the settlement at once.
Consult with your medical malpractice attorney to see if a structured settlement is right for you!

Deutsche Annington Goes Ahead With Smaller IPO Deal
Deutsche Annington bit the bullet and offered its shares for a lower price to get an initial public offering completed this week. The German real-estate company had scrapped a €1.2 billion ($1.55 billion) share sale last week because of volatile markets. But a rebound in investor sentiment was enough to let the company bring a smaller deal at a more-appealing price Tuesday.
Deutsche Annington said it will now offer shares solely to institutional investors over the next two days, at between €16.50 and €17. The offer price originally had been €18 to €21. The total offer size will be around €585 million, or roughly half what the company and private-equity shareholder Terra Firma had sought out to raise from new and existing shares when announcing the deal in June.
The new version of the deal reflects a pragmatic approach to getting a deal done when the chips are down. Terra Firma and its advisers had considered bringing a smaller deal last week at a lower price, but the order books would have had to stay open through the U.S. 4th of July holiday Thursday if the price went below the planned price range, making the deal vulnerable to any further market shocks.
By rejigging the IPO for institutions through an "accelerated book build," Deutsche Annington is able to put the deal to bed, and meet its original goal of raising funds to refinance its debt at a cheaper price. Terra Firma will still hold around 85% of the shares, but has now started the process of cashing out.
The final placement price will be announced Wednesday, and trading in the shares will start Thursday in Frankfurt.

On Thursday, an article on NFL.com co-written by Gregg Rosenthal and Chris Wesseling was released ranking the 2014 NFL free agent class. San Francisco 49ers safety Donte Whitner mocked the article where he was ranked 48th out of 101 players listed.
Whitner also tweeted the following statement:
"I'm ranked behind guys that didn't even play in 2014.... You guys haven't watched the film and defiantly don't know football! #Hitner."
With a few signings off the board, Whitner was moved up to 46th overall on the top free agents list. The two players who played less than half of the 2013 season include Raiders OT Jared Veldheer (8th) and Eagles QB Michael Vick (34th).
Whitner was ranked as the fifth-best safety among the 101 free agents on the list. Buffalo Bills safety Jairus Byrd is 3rd, while Browns safety T.J. Ward (13th) and Saints safety Malcolm Jenkins (38th) are all ahead of Whitner. Louis Delmas, who was recently released by the Detroit Lions is 50th overall.
The 49ers pending free agent will be 29 years old in July and he is coming off a top notch season in San Francisco. Whitner was wrongfully penalized for what referees determined as illegal hits three times this season. The veteran safety was able to boast how he wasn't fined by the league for any of his hits in 2013.
Whitner tremendously helped San Francisco in pass coverage and worked as a strong mentor to rookie Eric Reid, who was the team's free safety. He was targeted only a handful of times by opposing offenses as he allowed only two touchdowns all season.
Even though he was penalized several times, the tape shows he didn't illegally hit anyone, thus justifying his "Legal Hitner" name. Whitner hopes that penalties can be reviewed in the NFL on big hits, making sure calls are correct and not affecting the game.
"Too many times a play looks bad and the official throws the flag, but it ends up being a clean play," Whitner said in December. "Just because it's a powerful hit doesn't mean it's an illegal hit."

Debt. Prison. What's next?
With the United States government just one week away from a historic default on its debt, President Obama and House Speaker Boehner are publicly trading salvos about the impending crisis.
Yesterday, meeting in Los Angeles, the NAACP passed a historic resolution calling for an end to the so-called "war on drugs," weeks after a series of high-level reports (including a New York Times op-ed by former President Jimmy Carter) and called on the federal and state governments to end failed drug policies that have increased our prison population by 700% over a 35-year period.
What do these seemingly separate issues have in common? Answer: each was a central focus of the last two issues of Fellowship magazine, FOR's national journal addressing peace, social justice, and nonviolence since 1918.
If you're not a current subscriber, subscribe to Fellowship magazine today!
Without Fellowship, you missed our "Rethinking Money" issue, which featured commentary and analysis on debt, usury, banking, and our modern economic system by faith-based voices like Tom Greco, Ray Foss, and Scott Mooney, as well as FOR's executive director, Mark Johnson.
Those who received our "Transformation of/in Prisons" issue discovered the analysis of leading anti-mass incarceration advocates like Michelle Alexander, Kaia Stern, and Rima Vesely-Flad as well as the voices of people who have been imprisoned for decades, like Judith Clark, Jazz Hayden, and Philip Brasfield. They found Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, and Christian spiritual reflections on the U.S. punishment system. And our readers learned in advance that prisoners at Pelican Bay State Prison in California were preparing to launch a hunger strike on July 1 — three weeks later, this past weekend, the prisoners won significant victories in their campaign for human rights and against torturous conditions of imprisonment.
What's next in Fellowship? Over the coming year, you'll find feature articles, interviews, poetry, prayers, book and film reviews, and art and photography addressing such themes as faith and "security," human rights accompaniment, they centennial anniversary of Bayard Rustin's birth, and more.

Here's why this song should be in your collection!
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight" was already iconic when Walt Disney Pictures used the song in 1994 for its award-winning movie, The Lion King. The Linda family ultimately became winners too.
Solomon Linda was a janitor at Gallo Record Company in South Africa when he composed "Mbube" (a Zulu word for lion) in 1939. He recorded the song with backup vocals by The Evening Birds. Gallo gave Linda a small payment and writing credits, but not his copyrights. "Mbube" sold over 100,000 copies.
"Wimoweh" (renamed for the chorus, mispronounced in English) became a hit record and concert favorite in 1951 for The Weavers featuring Pete Seeger. Later, the famous producing team of Hugo & Luigi hired George David Weiss to compose English lyrics. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" became a #1 hit for The Tokens (featuring opera singer Anita Darian) in 1961. Linda died penniless in 1962.
Seeger donated his royalties to Linda's family, but the record companies never paid them. Disney was aware of the copyright issues. A Rolling Stone magazine article by Rian Malan in 2000 finally launched a settlement with Linda's heirs for millions of dollars.
This song is available on various albums in vinyl, CD and MP3 format from major vendors. Please consider purchasing them from a local independent record store.
Here's an interesting fact!
Check out these cover versions of "Mbube" by Miriam Makeba, Robert John, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Desmond Dekker, The Stylistics, and The Original Broadway Cast.

Revan.... Or Exile... Or Random Guy

I think that some new guy should be the PC. He/she could be a young sentient who is the apprentice of Jolee. Jolee then one day gets a vision of the future, and decides that you and he are going to run off to the unknown regions to find Revan and help or stop him, depending on what you find. Then when you're about to leave, Jolee is attacked by a Sith assassin (NOT the ones from TSL, but a genuine Sith who is acting as an assassin), and he orders you to leave without him while he's fighting because you're not ready to fight this new Sith and Jolee isn't sure if he is either. So you go off into unknown space with a couple droids (possibly T3 and a 'pacified' HK
) to do your thing, picking up companions along the way. In the end, you find out that the 'assassin' was actually the Exile, and that she has become Revan's apprentice, who has once again assumed the title Darth and has the Mandalorians led by Canderous for a fleet/army. Jolee survived the fight and shows up with the Republic Fleet which clashes with the Mandalorians fleet and you need to defeat Mandalore, Exile, and finally Revan as boss fights. Of course this would include appearances from Carth and Bastila with the Republic Fleet, and possibly people like Visas, Mical, and Atton serving Revan, or even Mira and Bao-Dur as prisoners or something. Just threw all this out there as a possibility. Also I'm assuming a LS playthrough, DS would lead to the obvious vice versa boss fights alignments etc...
Though I actually think that Bioware is going to MMO the series and say Revan and Exile are lost in space become more powerful so you can join them and defeat the great evil of the day.
