It's Love The rain beat harder than it did a second ago. They stood holding hands as their cold hands grasped on the others remaining body heat. The sun had already set and the cold was setting in. Black clouded the once blue sky and the stars shined until the rain fell. The sound of cars and trunks rushing through the rain is heard and the pulsing sounds of the woman's heart rate rang in her ears. She kept her eyes closed and concentrated on the breathing next to her. The man held her hand tighter, brushing his rough thumb against the outside of her hand. It was soothing, but it didn't stop her heart rate from slowing down. They were dry, but even the shelter above them didn't stop some rain from entering their domain. It dripped, water dropping onto the women's chapped lips, cascading down her chin then done her neck, lacing them with Goosebumps. She flinched when lips touched her face, her lashes fluttering opening in an instant panic. Turning her head, she look
We Will Meet Again She ran and ran, her feet meeting the earth with a quick thumps. Pulse quickening like a wild fire, it was suffocating, terrifying and painful. Lightning blue eyes scanned around the surroundings. It felt like she was running in circles, everything looked the same, even as she ran faster. A heavy growl echoed behind her, when she finally saw the clearing. It was bright, calming, and beautiful. It was a ray of pure beauty, singing for her arrival. A sweet sigh of songs pranced into her ears and a breath of worry left her throat. Her eyes watered in happiness, a single teardrop fell to the crunchy ground and she took her last step out of the brown and green heaven that gave her so much freight. Her legs felt numb as her feet came to a halt, she looked behind her to give one last bid farewell as she moved forward into the warm summer's breeze. At last she closed the gate, locking it with no regret, a twang of pain pierced her heart, as she looked at the man now trapped in the

Is there any criterion answering the question:
Let $E$ be a Banach space. When does the Banach space $\mathcal{B}(E)$ of all bounded operators on $E$ contain a copy of $\ell^\infty(\Gamma)$? Here $\Gamma$ is an arbitrary index set, perhaps uncountable.
Of course, the answer is easy when $E$ is a Hilbert space with density character equal to the cardinality of $\Gamma$.
Thank you.

ICP Infinity Awards to Honor Goldblatt, Henner, de Middel
South African photographer David Goldblatt will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 29th Annual Infinity Awards, the International Center of Photography (ICP) announced yesterday. The awards will be given at a gala to benefit ICP on May 1 in New York City.
Goldblatt, 82, has produced numerous books and museum exhibitions of his work, which defies definition as either art or documentary photography. His work was included in ICP's recent exhibition, "The Rise and Fall of Apartheid," and is being exhibited now at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In a statement announcing this year's Infinity Award winners, ICP executive director Mark Robbins said, "We are pleased to recognize the achievement of this year's recipients including David Goldblatt, who has dedicated his career to not only documenting his native South Africa but also to teaching visual literacy and photographic skills to youth disadvantaged by the system of apartheid."
The Infinity Award for Photojournalism will be awarded to David Guttenfelder, the Chief Asia Photographer for the Associated Press, who has been documenting North Korea. The Infinity Award for Art will be awarded to Mishka Henner, who used Google Street View to capture images of the outskirts of European cities where sex workers have solicited clients.
Other winners of 2103 Infinity Awards are:
Young Photographer: Kitra Cahana
Publication: Cristina de Middel, The Afronauts
Applied/Fashion/Advertising: Erik Madigan Heck (selected for PDN's 30 in 2011).
Not announced yesterday was a winner for the Cornell Capa Award, inaugurated in 2000 in honor of the founder of ICP.
Past winners of ICP Infinity Awards include William Eggleston, Elliott Erwitt, Daido Moriyama, Lee Friedlander, Annie Leibovitz, William Klein and Malick Sidibe.

Recount continues in McIntyre-Rouzer race
Published: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 6:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 6:23 p.m.
Southeastern N.C. | Nine of the 12 counties involved had finished recounting votes in the 7th Congressional District race by Tuesday afternoon, with little change in the vote totals.
The race pits Democratic incumbent Rep. Mike McIntyre against Republican state Sen. David Rouzer. After the official canvass of votes last week, Rouzer trailed McIntyre by 655 votes.
With recounts in nine counties complete, Rouzer had trimmed the margin by 11 votes, to 644. Johnston and New Hanover counties still had to complete their recounts, and Duplin County didn't plan to start until Wednesday.
The Rouzer campaign said it would make a statement about the race after the recount is complete on Wednesday.

Deputies went to the 100 block of Haversham Drive Tuesday morning to find David Lee Galbreath, 27, armed and wearing a bulletproof vest, said sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Randy Christian.
Deputies arrested Galbreath on a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm. After his wife told deputies he was being evaluated for mental illness, deputies received permission from her to search the house.
Investigators recovered rifles, 12-gauge and .410 shotguns, 4 handguns, assorted combat knives and over 3,000 rounds of ammo.
He has been released from the county jail on $1,000 bond.
The conditions of his release included seeking psychiatric treatment and surrendering all of his weapons to authorities.

Motorola Defy+ gets official: IP67-certified Android Gingerbread smartphone
The same day it announced it would be acquired by Google, Motorola has unveiled a new Android smartphone: the Motorola Defy+ (of which we've heard before, of course). Just like Samsung's Galaxy Xcover, the Defy+ runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and is IP67 certified, so it's water resistant and dust proof.
The new Defy+ one-ups the original Defy with a speedier processor (1GHz instead of 800MHz) and a larger battery (1,700 mAh). Other than that – and the new version of Android – its features have remained unchanged: HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, 5MP autofocus camera, 2GB of on-board memory, and MicroSD card support.
Motorola says the Defy+ will be released in "early fall" in Europe, Asia and Latin America, for an unknown price. I'm not sure why North America isn't included here – maybe Moto wants to launch the smartphone there under a different name, or maybe it doesn't want to sell it there at all. We'll see.

INDIANAPOLIS - UIC head women's basketball coach Regina Miller sat down with The Horizon League's Cam Fuller following UIC's 62-57 victory at Butler last Saturday (Dec. 7) to discuss the Flames' 6-2 start and six-game win streak. They also touched on Rachel Story's stellar play, Ruvanna Campbell's impact and the San Juan Shootout.
Miller's Interview with The Horizon League
The Flames' 6-2 record is the best start in 12 seasons and equals the best eight-game start in the Division I era. Since UIC became a Division I member in 1980-81, the Flames have been 6-2 to start a season twice (1995-96 & 2001-02).
It is also the Flames' first six-game win streak since Jan. 11-Feb. 3, 2007 in the midst of a program-record 11 consecutive victories. Four of the six victories have been over 2012-13 WNIT participants (Idaho State, Miami Ohio, Texas Southern and Butler).
UIC is next in action Dec. 18 when the Flames travel to Kalamazoo, Mich. to take on Western Michigan (3-5). Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. CT inside University Arena. A win would match the 2001-02 squad for the best nine-game start (7-2) in the Division I era.

St. Paul's Church (originally 1521, rebuilt 1566)
The ruins of St. Paul's church stand at the summit of St. Paul's hill near the remains of A Famosa fortress. The site was originally occupied by the "Chapel of the Annunciation", which was built in 1521 by Duarte Coelho in gratitude to the Virgin Mary for saving his life in the South China sea. In 1548 the Archbishop of Goa in India handed over the church to the Jesuits, who began renovating it in 1566. The present building was completed in 1590, with the tower on the right side of the sacristy added in 1593.
The church is renowned as the place where the body of Francis Xavier, the pioneering Catholic missionary of Southeast Asia, was laid to rest for a period of eight months after his death at sea (from arch 22nd, 1553 to December 11th, 1553). The open grave in the church, now covered by a wire mesh, marks the place of Francis' temporary burial.
Xavier had been an active missionary in the Maluku region of Indonesia from 1546-47. His work there paved the way for permanent missions in the years to come. Afterward, Xavier continued his missionary activities in Japan. He was such a success that the Catholic Church considers him to have converted the most number of people to Christianity since Saint Paul.
In late 1553, Xavier returned to the Portuguese bastion at Shangchuan island in the South China Sea (about 14 kilometers off the coast of present day Guangdong). On November 21st, he took ill during a mass and fainted. Realizing he was about to die, he asked the sailors accompanying him to return his bones to Goa. The sailors agreed, and remained with him until he died on December 3rd.
Transporting a body back to Goa was not an easy process, so to make the corpse easier to transport, the Portuguese sailors at Shangchuan dumped quicklime into Xavier's coffin. They hoped to quickly reduce the corpse to recover the bones. The sailors then temporarily buried his body on the island and attended to other matters. When it came time for the ship to set sail, the coffin was brought on board and opened. According to legend, the body was in a condition as fresh as it had been when the sailors first buried it. When one of Xavier's fingers was cut off, blood even seemed to flow.
The ship proceeded to Melaka, where Xavier was buried for nine months at St. Paul's church. At the end of this period, the body was placed in a new coffin and brought to Goa.
The Pope canonized Francis in 1614, but only upon condition that Francis' right arm be brought to Rome (this was the arm Francis used to bless his converts). The arm was detached by Pr. Gen. Claudio Acquaviva in 1614 and put on display in a silver reliquary at the church of Il Gesu in Rome. Legend says that when the arm was removed, blood flowed as freely from the wound as it had when Xavier's finger was removed.
These legends could be easily dismissed but for the fact that the body still exists in fairly good condition in Goa, where it was laid to rest in 1637. Xavier's preserved corpse can still be seen once every 10 years during public expositions (the most recent of which was in 2004). Debate continues as to how the body could have remained "incorrupt" for so long. Some say that St. Francis was expertly mummified, while others say that the incorruptible body is evidence of a miracle.
The approximate location of the church is 2.192599' N, 102.249557' E (WGS 84 map datum).

May I suggest that you proofread what you write and use proper capitalization and punctuation? This is almost impossible to read.
In any case, as I said before, I've never heard of a lawyer referred to as a "moral agent," so I don't even know what that term might mean. Therefore, I have to conclude that it relates to some concept that you discussed in whatever class you're taking and which is unique to that class.
Your original post is obviously a homework question, and simply asking the question that way can only be interpreted as a request that others do your homework, and that sort of thing isn't going to be well-received anywhere. If you want to tell us how you have answered the question (which presumably will explain what "moral agent" means), we can give you feedback.

Proverbs 18:21
21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Do you breathe LIFE or DEATH into the people and circumstances you encounter? We have the opportunity, in all situations, to deliver LIFE or DEATH. Do you give others optimism and hope? Or do you offer discouragement, judgement, and disappointment?
The simple way in which we live and lead can be fresh air or defeat for those we influence. This is true in our business, family, and culture.
I have had, like many of you, the unique privilege of learning many lessons from life and personal experience. But most important, observing the lessons of those who have led successfully and breathed LIFE into my own LIFE has given me a great example of how to live in TRUTH. WISDOM provided by my parents, in-laws, grandparents, sibling, wife, kids, and friends have brought the TRUTH into my LIFE.
- "True leaders take blame and give away credit."
- "Remember whose you are – you were bought with a price."
- "The harder you work, the 'luckier' you get."
- "Lead by example – don't ask someone to do something you're not willing to do yourself."
- "Dead men can't be insulted – it is Christ who lives through you."
- "Always take the high road."
- "Get Real – truth builds trust."
- "Make sure you light up a room when you enter."
- "Make a difference – today."
- "Do what you love, it will never seem like work."
This loose personal collection of sayings has changed the way I lead. What a LIFE we have in Christ – we are His, and given for His good purpose — IF we follow. We can make the harsh landscape of someone's LIFE live again by the way we lead. Give credit. Lead by example. Take the high road. Get real. Make a difference. Love what you do.
Romans 6:13
13 Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness.
Be an instrument of righteousness.
Servants speak by giving LIFE to others.

When you're ready to put a ring on it, online jeweler Brilliance.com wants to send you a free 3-D printout of that diamond engagement ring you may wish to buy.
The concept of 3-D printing has garnered extensive media coverage over the past couple of years, mostly due to its potential for extraordinary medical advances such as creating body parts and custom medical devices or for its possible use in terrifying endeavors such as smuggling 3-D printed guns onto airplanes.
Now, retailers have begun to harness the power of this amazing technology, making it possible to preview replicas of important purchases before taking the plunge. Brilliance.com, a leading seller of online custom diamond rings, recently launched their 3-D printing solution to give buyers a hands-on shopping experience without leaving their homes.
Brilliant marketing concept
Pick the ring style, carat size and diamond shape you think you'll like, and Brilliance.com will send out a 3-D printed sample engagement ring, right to your door. They'll even send the 3-D CAD rendering electronically if you happen to have access to a 3-D printer on your own.
The company sent me a selection of 3-D printed diamond ring samples, along with ring sizers, and I think it must be the most unique and creative retail strategy I've seen in a long while.
The sturdy plastic ring replicas help you determine how the real ring will feel and look on your hand, without having to deal with the pressure of sales people at a jewelry store.
Try before you buy
Brilliance.com looks for ways to duplicate the positive aspects of the in-store shopping experience, such as customers' need to physically examine something they want, according to Shai Barel, the company's Director of Strategic Partnerships.
"As an online jewelry retailer specializing in engagement rings," says Barel, "this poses a particular dilemma with such a specific, emotional and expensive purchase. The key here is to let them see the difference in shape, size or carat instead of buying it online only to return it a few days later. Ultimately, we will have our inventory available for printing."
The company, which has over two decades of history, offers fine jewelry with a 30-day money-back return policy, lifetime warranty, care and maintenance and a conflict-free guarantee. As you're shopping, you can chat online with an expert gemologist any time you need help. While Brilliance.com currently offers the 3-D printing of their engagement rings, they plan to soon offer all of their products as 3-D samples.
Many retailers looking at 3-D printing options
Larger retailers have announced 3-D offerings as well, such as Amazon with their 3-D Printing Store, where customers can buy 3-D printed home decor, games, toys, tech items and fashion accessories. Walmart's CEO has indicated that the retailing behemoth may look at using 3-D printing for supplies and could even consider making an acquisition related to the industry.
After testing 3-D printing service centers in Europe for two years, Staples recently brought the concept to the U.S., opening 3-D printing "experience centers" in New York and Los Angeles.
Looking to get your own 3-D printer? You can purchase a low-end Da Vinci 1.0 desktop 3-D printer from Amazon.com for around $500, or a Hammacher Schlemmer desktop 3-D printer for $1378 with shipping.

Reggie Bush was born 2 months after the Dolphins last appeared in the superbowl.
Has it really been that long since their last appearance in the big game?

The technical laboratories consist of the central high pressure and large scale synthesis facilities of the institute. The reactor designs are developed and manufactured in cooperation with the institute's workshop. Large scale synthesis facilities are available for reactions in glass vessels up to 200 L. Furthermore, a standard set of purified and/or dried and deoxygenated solvents (about 1.000 L per month) are continuously provided for all groups. Another focus lies in the disposal of chemical waste with an annual quantity of about 23 tons.
Compressed and especially supercritical carbon dioxide is a technically well established solvent for analytical chromatography and large scale extractions. The extraction of caffeine from green coffee beans was developed by Dr. Kurt Zosel at the Technikum of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in the late sixties and is nowadays used worldwide for the production of more than 100.000 t decaffeinated coffee per year. Most recently scCO2 has found considerable and ever increasing interest also as an environmentally friendly alternative solvent for chemical synthesis. Current research efforts at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung are mainly devoted to the utilization of scCO2 as solvent for catalytic processes.
The diminishing fossil fuel reserves and the negative impacts of anthropogenic greenhouse gases emissions on the environment force us to implement renewable energy sources in a short time frame. Cellulose-containing biomaterials, which might originate from residues of food production or are ubiquitary and unintersting for current industry applications, are promising feedstocks for fuel production. As a participant of the DFG excellence cluster "Tailor-Made Fuels from biomass" we are dealing with the development of efficient nano-catalysts for transformation of D-glucose (the monomer of cellulose) into fuel precursor molecules such as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, levulinic acid or γ-valerolactone.
The separation of highly dispersed catalysts and their recycling from liquid-phase transformations are often critical with respect to recovery rates and preservation of the catalytic activity. In such reactions magnetically separable supports allow a matchless easy and gentle isolation procedure of catalytically active components. Currently, we are investigating the suitability of polyoxometalates which are attached to ferrit cores as catalysts for the olefin epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide.
Quite a large number of employees are involved in health and safety at work issues. Beside the line executives, as many as 31 appointees for different hazards and six authorized persons with well-defined inspection duties are contributing to that field in form of a sideline job. The activities are coordinated and controled by the safety commissioner of the institute, Dr. N. Theyssen. The targets are arranged quarterly with the managing director, Prof. Dr. A. Fürstner, and the health and safety committee. In quite a large number of these activities, our health and safety officer, Mrs. I. Sahm, is involved in a profound manner. Her substitute, Mr. L. Winkel, is responsible for the central documentation. Our external company physician, Dr. med. J.-H. Bolle, consults the institute in all questions dealing with occupational medizine and carries out corresponding examinations.
The institute is also well-positioned in the area of emergency organization. More than 50 first-aiders, 31 evacuation officers, 21 firemen (twelve of them are skilled in the usage of compressed air breathing apparatus) and one paramedic, Mrs. N.-J. Schrader, support our institute voluntarily. In addition an important assistance is provided by three co-workers from building services, the four members of the on-call service and two certified electricians.

Britney Spears has lost custody of her two children — at least temporarily — to ex-husband Kevin Federline. A Los Angeles judge ordered the singer on Monday (October 1) to turn over Sean Preston and Jayden James to Federline until further notice, effective Wednesday.
The judge's order came following an off-the-calendar hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, in which Federline's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan expressed concern over the singer's driving habits, after she was charged on September 21 for driving without a license (see "Britney Spears Charged With Two Driving-Related Misdemeanors" ).
Though a source close to the custody battle told MTV News when Spears was first charged with the misdemeanors that they would not affect Federline's custody request, that was before the singer was repeatedly photographed and videotaped driving with the children in the car. In one paparazzi video that grabbed headlines last week, Spears reportedly drove the wrong way down a one-way street for a moment while Sean Preston held Jayden James' hand, as if to comfort his visibly distressed younger brother.
(For a timeline of Spears chaotic activity in recent years, check out "Britney Spears' Sad Saga Continues With Judge's Child-Custody Order." )
The court's minute order of the Monday hearing, however, does not provide the cause of the judge's new decision. Instead, court documents obtained by MTV News list this new development as a modification to the existing court orders handed down just two weeks ago, which included random drug testing, counseling, and parenting classes (see "Britney Spears Must Undergo Regular Drug Testing, Parenting Classes In Custody Case" ). The rest of the record is sealed.
Though Spears is to hand over the children by noon on Wednesday, the matter isn't settled permanently: Commissioner Scott Gordon scheduled a new hearing to go over the arrangements on Wednesday. Spears' arraignment on the misdemeanor charges is set for October 10.

Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has insisted he will not quit, despite a 3-2 defeat at Malaga leaving his side 13 points behind Spanish league leaders Barcelona.
The disappointment of the loss was compounded by Mourinho's controversial decision to drop goalkeeper and captain Iker Casillas from the starting line-up - the first time he has not been picked while fit for over a decade.
Two goals from Roque Santa Cruz, on loan from Manchester City, provided Malaga with victory but the game was overshadowed by speculation over Mourinho's future, as he cut a forlorn figure walking the touchline with Casillas sitting behind him.
Real lie third in La Liga, behind Barcelona and second-placed local rivals Atletico Madrid.
Asked if he was worried about his job, Mourinho appeared incredulous.
"Not at all. I'm not worried about my job at all and I'm not going to resign," he said.
"I'm not a child. I know that results count. If I felt the players did not want to continue, I'd be too honest to continue.
"But they are not like that. We are just lacking some luck in the last few games, that is all."
Asked why he axed World Cup winner Casillas for 25-year-old Antonio Adan, he said: "At the moment, for me and my coaching staff, Adan is better than Iker."

If your man is anything like our men, he can quote Pee-Wee's Big Adventure with the best of them. We're pretty sure ours have at least 3/4ths of the script memorized. Maybe we should indulge their inner 10-year old this Christmas with the Pee-Wee's Big Adventure Poster ($17-50), sold at Society 6. Just know ahead of time that you're opening a can of worms--we're pretty sure that upon opening this poster, Pee-Wee will take over the Blu-Ray player for the rest of the day. Possibly the day after, too.
