Celebrations greeted the registration this week of the 3,000th project under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), the world's premier system for developed countries to finance low carbon projects in developing countries.
The secretariat of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) announced that the project is a wind power one on the breezy plains of Inner Mongolia, where nomads have harnessed wind power on a small scale for generations.
The CDM is part of the Kyoto Protocol, an addition to the Convention that contains legally binding measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The 41-turbine, 49.5MW project is expected to save the emission of 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year by avoiding the construction of a fossil-fuel powered plant.
Developed by the Inner Mongolia Alashan Yinxing Wind Power Generation Co., Ltd, the wind farm is financed by a British company, Shell Trading International, which buys and sells carbon credits, and was approved by DECC last year.
Christiana Figueres, the UNFCCC Executive Secretary, said: "The Clean Development Mechanism is still evolving and will continue to do so. But from the original concept to now, it has been a success way beyond the initial expectations, not only in the number of projects but also in its ability to attract private sector investment into bettering livelihoods and environments of people in the developing world.
"The world will not solve climate change without an ever-increasing commitment to international cooperation," Ms. Figueres added. "That means the financial sector and business must be given ways and means to help put money and technology where they are most needed into the developing world, as well as into the developed world."
71 countries now host CDM projects, and besides the 3,000 registered about another 2,600 projects are in the vetting process.
Developed countries signed up to the Kyoto Protocol can use the CERs to meet part of their obligations to reduce their national greenhouse gas emissions.
To date, 1,039 projects have earned a total of more than 600 million certified emission reduction credits, according to the UNFCCC.
Another registration this week was the Kafr el-Dawar project at the Spinning, Weaving and Dying Co. near Alexandria in Egypt by Masdar, the Abu Dhabi government-owned renewable energy company.
This "helps reduce CO2 emissions through switching from the higher carbon intensive fuel such as Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) to natural gas, a lower carbon intensive fossil fuel, contributing to Egypt's goals in sustainable development," said Badar AlLamki, Associate Director of Masdar Carbon.
This is, disappointingly, one of only 23 CDM projects in the entire Middle East.
Allamki commented: "Egypt so far has registered only nine projects when the size of its industry and energy consumption carries many opportunities for CDM investors to shift the country's industries to using natural gas or renewable energy."
At last December's UN Climate Change Conference in Cancun, Mexico, governments agreed that tools such as the CDM have a key role to play in climate action. However, although it is unlikely that the Protocol will be renewed when it expires in 2012, the CDM will probably continue in some form.
Renewables set to expand
Another United Nations report presented this week to an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meeting in Abu Dhabi, said that renewable energies (excluding firewood) could expand by three to 20 times by 2050.
Based on a review of 164 scenarios, the report said: "The cost of most renewable energy technologies has declined, and significant additional technical advancements are expected.
"Further cost reductions are expected, resulting in greater potential for climate change mitigation and reducing the need for policy measures to ensure rapid deployment."
The 30-page summary for policymakers, part of a Special Report - "Renewable Energy Sources and Climate Change Mitigation" - will be officially published on 9 May.
In 2008 renewable energy production accounted for about 12.9% of global primary energy supply and was dominated by bioenergy with 10.2%, followed by hydro power, wind, geothermal, solar power and ocean energy.
Most of the 164 scenarios show renewable energies supplying over 100 exajoules (EJ = 1018 J), or 3.5GToe, a year by 2050, reaching 200-400 EJ a year in many scenarios, compared to 64 EJ in 2008, when world supply was 492 EJ.
Renewables' share of total energy supply varies widely in the scenarios, reaching up to 77% of total energy supply by 2050. But their technical potential - especially solar - is substantially higher even than projected world energy demand.
This could lead to cumulative carbon dioxide savings of 220-560 billion tonnes from 2010 to 2050, compared with 1.53 trillion tonnes of cumulative emissions in a reference scenario for the same period.
Global renewables investments, in four illustrative scenarios, are forecast at $1.36-$5.1 trillion for the decade to 2020 and $1.49-$7.18 trillion from 2012-30.
However, real costs will be lower, due to factors including savings on other energies.

While he spent most of his last WWE contract injured and out of action, it looks like Rey Mysterio will be sticking around the company. According to Wrestle View on Saturday, Mysterio has signed a new contract with the WWE. The word is that the contract is a one-year deal and Vince McMahon himself made the call to re-sign Mysterio.
The WWE has protections written into contracts in case of missed time due to injuries. Since Mysterio missed so much time over the last contract due to injuries, he owed the WWE time. His new contract will last through May 2015, although how much wrestling he actually will be able to do is unknown.
Of course, Mysterio is worth much more to the WWE than just his action as an in-ring performer. Despite missing so much time and missing so much television over the years, he still remains one of the most popular performers in the company. While not as big of a merchandise seller as he used to be, he is still a very huge seller especially for young audiences.
Mysterio was originally rumored to be heading to AAA to headline the promotion as it makes its U.S. premiere on the El Rey Network. He would provide the promotion with the biggest name for American audiences to recognize. It would also mark a return, as Mysterio caught his first big break in AAA back in 1992. After that, he moved on to ECW and WCW before making his WWE debut in 2002.
Since making his debut in the WWE, Rey Mysterio has won two world titles, one with each major belt. He also has held the Intercontinental title twice, the tag team titles four times with four different partners, and the now defunct cruiserweight title eight times. Now, with the new WWE contract, Mysterio will try to get his career back on track.

Tonight's History Channel episode of "American Pickers" was titled "Captain Quirk," starring Frank Fritz and Mike Wolfe. The professional pickers that travel across not only the United States, but over the world picking through treasures covered with dust and rust from age, and love every minute of their hunt as cobwebs and dead animals don't scare them a bit.
As the episode begins, Frank and Dave are still in Florida, as Mike continues to work in the shop. Ben, the guy who fixed up the Little Deuce Coupe, is helping put shelves on the weathered barn wood Mike used for the interior.
As the guys are traveling, Danielle calls with a lead for a doctor named Jack, who lives in Florida and has a couple of buildings filled with eccentric stuff. She knows that this stuff is not up Frank's alley, but maybe he will find something for the shop. When they pull up, he is waiting for them and happy to see them. He is a kitsch collector, usually stuff in bad taste. They find lots of weird medical stuff, with an outer space flair. Some of the stuff would make Dr. Frankenstein very happy. They found old televisions made by Philco, fishing lures, and a pod that holds a lot of people in case of a catastrophe.
Danielle calls again with a lead for a guy named Chris, with a huge neon sign collection. The guy was a car dealer, so she warns them not to fall for his sales pitch. When they walked into his shop, there were neon signs from yesteryear that made them ooh and ah. Everything was immaculate, including the antique cars in the gigantic space. He bought roached out signs, cleaned them up, and added neon to them, really making them pop.
He had mostly Ford cars because he sold them. He even had a special car owned by Edsel Ford, in mint condition. Most of his stuff was not for sale, and the stuff that was for sale was too high priced. Finally, Dave found an old Hastings Piston Rings clock for $175 and a Payne's West End Service neon sign for $1,000. Frank finally bought a Headlight Overalls Neon Sign for $1,650. Dave found a Moxie sign and a car radio sign without the radio. He got both for $2,650 after a lot of haggling.
Another call from Dani sent them to meet the Captain, who lives on a decommissioned tug boat named the Tutahaco. When they pulled into his property, it was not manicured like the last two. This one was a junker's paradise. Dee greeted them; she was his girlfriend, and they had a miniature horse for a pet and traveled as far as St. Thomas on the boat. Dee took the guys around to show them the Captain's stuff. Dave spotted a Harley jacket from long ago, and had to have it. Then there were a bunch of trailers with all kinds of stuff. Most of the trailers contained stuff the guys could not use. However, one had nautical stuff, portholes, a weathered American flag and a bunch of brass lights and portholes.
When the guys returned home, they were happy to see how much Mike got done in the new shop, and when he sees what they got, he will be looking for places to display it all on this episode of "American Pickers."

March Forum: Transitional Management
A vibrant management forum took place on Thursday 28th 2013 at the Hilton Hotel Nairobi. Guest speakers included George Kithii, an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya and Wanjiru Gikonyo National Coordinator the Institute of Social Accountability.
Both speakers tackled questions touching on Local Authorities, the new system of county governments and the functions and powers of the national and county governments.
Mrs. Gikonyo explained how TISA has been able to influence the design of Kenya's devolved governance structure through active and informed input in the policy and legislative process. She further explained the duties and roles of elected posts.
Mr kithii cautioned on the excessive power the governor will get. To him, a county government shall plan for the county and no public funds shall be appropriated outside a planning framework developed by the county executive committee and approved by the county assembly. The county planning framework shall integrate economic, physical, social, environmental and spatial planning.
Both speakers were certain that the devolved system of government is the most transformative aspect of Kenya's governance in the Constitution of Kenya2010. And were hopeful it will seek to redress ingrained regional inequality, unemployment and low growth by devolving political and financial responsibility to counties.

For some reason i can't update ubuntu to a newer version.
So I am forced to use Ubuntu 8.04.
How can I update only openssh from a 4.7 to a 5.X version ?
Download OpenSSH source. configure it to install to some private directory:
Now prepend /usr/local/ssh/sbin and /usr/local/ssh/bin in your $PATH. Now when you call ssh, you run the new binary.
Disable sshd in the box (I do not know whether sshd in Ubuntu 8.04 uses upstart or the older rc.* method). Then start (the new) sshd from /etc/rc.local (in case you want the machine to run the latest sshd).

Last Thursday night (July 10th), Boston's Blue Hills Bank Pavilion hosted a night chock-full of Dave Matthews-inspired live music.
First up, straight out of Austin, Texas was Saints of Valory. Sadly I missed almost their entire set. However, the two-and-a-half songs I did catch impressed. This is a band I will be keeping my eyes on, and I'll definitely show up early the next time they roll through town.
Next was the first co-headliner, American Idol winner, Phillip Phillips. Now, I've seen the Dave Matthews Band at least ten times over the years, and if there's one thing I'm certain of it's this: Phillip Phillips is a Dave Matthews clone. This isn't any new observation, or an insult, it's just the truth. I've been saying it since he was breezing through the weeks on American Idol, as has most of the internet. It's just something completely different to actually see it in person.
Clone or no clone, though, Phillip Phillips puts on one killer show. The solos, the singles, the complete control over the stage and crowd, Phillips has it. For me, he was the highlight of the night.
Finally, O.A.R. took the stage. Now, I've seen O.A.R. at least five times over the years; the first and most notable show being a club date at Lupo's in Providence almost a whole 10 years ago in November of 2004, and the last time being six years ago at the venue currently known as the Xfinity Center. Why the six-year break? Well, it wasn't any fault of their live show, that's for sure. No, their exceedingly disappointing albums and the horrible, horrible audiences kept me away.
After Thursday's show, though, I'm back. (Though hopefully I won't have to photograph future shows from the soundboard as I did for this one.)
They brought out their expected energetic, free form set consisting equally of new cuts ("Peace" and "Two Hands Up") and crowd favorites ("Hey Girl" and "That Was a Crazy Game of Poker"). Highlights here included their phenomenal Frankenstein creation comprised of "City on Down" and "Delicate Few" and a breathtaking rendition of "Irish Rose" with special guest, Stephen Kellogg. While I'm not the biggest fan of their newer material, there's one thing I'll cave in on; it's all much better live.
The only 'meh' part of the night was their closing with Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline." (We get it, you're in Boston. It's tiring already.)
Set List:
1. About Mr. Brown
2. This Town
3. Love and Memories
4. Risen
5. Two Hands Up
6. Shattered (Turn the Car Around)
7. Hey Girl
8. Right on Time
9. Favorite Song
10. Night Shift
11. I Will Find You
12. Heaven
13. We'll Pick Up Where We Left Off
14. Irish Rose (w/ Stephen Kellogg)
15. City on Down/Delicate Few

Disease Proof
The Hard Way to Spread the Word About Obesity
Running fifty marathons, in fifty states, in fifty days, is not the easiest way to go about it. But it's one way. And it's starting next month. The Chicago Sun-Times has details of 43-year-old Dean Karnazes' quest:
''Proceeds will benefit the 'Karno Kids.' I started the foundation as an anti-obesity campaign. We're getting kids and youth more active and engaged, eating better and embracing physical well-being.''Karnazes has completed other extraordinary feats: he once moved 350 miles straight, which took nearly 81 sleepless hours. He has crossed both Death Valley and the South Pole. In other words: he might actually pull this off.
Eight of the marathons -- including Chicago's -- will be run on their normal days. The other 42 will be recreations of established marathon routes. The Boston Marathon, for example, is run in April, but race organizers will recreate the exact route for Karnazes and other runners.
''This has been a few years in the making,'' Karnazes said. ''We are going to run certified courses in every state. I want to make sure that's documented.''
Some pedestrians might be inconvenienced by the police escorts accompanying Karnazes and his groups in the recreated races, but considering one-third of children in this country are obese, the Sunday Drive applauds all attempts to promote physical well-being.

Open thread: In the beginning, there was "Sharknado"
posted at 8:41 pm on July 11, 2013 by Allahpundit
The "serious" post on Egypt has 12 comments as I write this. Last night's ode to schlock has 140 and nearly twice that many "likes" on Facebook. It's quite clear what's happened here: Like the rest of America, you guys have "Sharknado" fee-vah and won't be able to concentrate on news until the itch is scratched. I won't fight you. Scratch away.
At 9 p.m. ET on Syfy, you will believe that bad weather can make giant fish fly. (And yes, of course there's a climate-change plotline.) Judging from the buzz on Twitter today, this is going to be a social-media phenomenon on the order of a presidential debate; here's your hashtag in case you want to group-watch but don't have real friends.
While we wait, read io9's interview with screenwriter Thunder Levin (yes, really), who's very much in on the joke. Exit quotation: "What does it say about humans that when poor displaced sharks are ravaged by nature's uncaring fury we try to kill them with chainsaws? I think we need to take a good long look in the mirror over that one."

So Worth It!My hair grows fast, and it grows in thick and dark. Shaving every day is difficult because I get nasty razor burn no matter what razor or creams I use... My skin is so sensitive. Plus, with the medication I am on, I am not allowed to wax because that could have a bad reaction! So, I purchased this epilator.
I heard that it could be painful, so I went in expecting the worst when I first used it. The first time is probably the worst. I waited until a night where I had an hour to kill (do this before bed, so if you do have a little rosiness from the plucking, it will go away by morning). I just had a beer, put on a TV show, made myself comfortable and epilated my legs. It's not "pain," necessarily... If you're a lady and you're used to plucking out your eyebrows, it's like that-- If you plucked 36 at a time. On your legs. It's somewhat uncomfortable, and a "buzzy" feeling, like you feel it all being plucked out... But that's exactly what it is doing. So don't expect it to be fast, fun and easy hair removal. It takes time, and a little stinging. But I was so happy with the results.
Even though it is uncomfortable, don't zip by too fast, because it will miss hairs! It can only grab so many, so quickly, at a time! Just grin and bear it! I only did a quick shave after for the few missed hairs remaining. I put some lotion on my legs after (this grape seed oil extract stuff I got from Sallie's), then went to bed.
One week later, I had few light hairs that had grown back... Now, with me I usually look fairly stubbly after just one day of not shaving, so this for me was very exciting. My hair now grows in less dark and coarse. It is softer and lighter, and less noticeable when it grows back!
Yes, it stings a little bit. Yes, it takes time (especially your first time). Obviously-- You're ripping hundreds of entire hairs out from under the skin surface... But I am SO happy with the results. The first-time-sting and time putting in is so worth it. My legs don't have nasty razor burn now. They feel smoother-- And no messy, hot wax!
I am extremely satisfied with this epilator. I wish I had started using it years ago, but I am so glad to have discovered it now!Sep 7, 2013AnnaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Thick or Coarse Hair

The Best Epilator Out There!I've had this for over a year and it's amazing! It hardly hurts (I have an extremely low pain tolerance) I will gladly recommend this to anyone looking for a great epilator for a low price!Jun 9, 2013Laina

Pretty GoodMore pain than expected, and it seems to miss some hairs. Took so long the first time I only did the bottom half of my legsâ?¦.could be though b/c it was the first time I did it. I typically have noticeable stubble after shaving within 24 hours. Epilator definitely lasts way longer.Apr 9, 2013Stephanie

Gives Results, But Not PromisingI do believe that this brand is inferior to Emjoi. I bought this about 4-5 days ago and I can safely say that it does leave hairs behind, as said in plenty reviews about the Remington Silky & Smooth epilator. It does take lots of my hairs, it is time consuming and it is painful but a good distraction helps. ( Music... Screaming words to ease the pain.. It does help. ) I think that the massage brushes don't help much, and the epilator does sometimes go crazy and it starts to run over your legs, breaking off the hair and really just killing you. A lot of times it will stop functioning even if it's fully charged which I thought was weird. But overall, it did do the job, removed the hairs, but be prepared to have to pluck out lots of strays. The epilator did not do a good job on my underarms and left me bleeding and it went haywire just running up and down the underarms. Not pleased with that, as I was looking forward to having nice soft underarms. The detail/precision attachment head also doesn't seem to work at all, as it doesn't remove any hairs because the part of the head that isn't the tweezers touches the skin and the epilator doesn't touch the skin because it's too short? ( can't word correctly, sorry. just skip this part ) I am planning to order the Emjoi Soft Caress Cordless Epilator due to the fact that this one I hear leaves less hair behind, more comfort and is better for the underarms. Overall, yes, it functions, but don't spend $60 when you can buy the Emjoi Soft Caress when you can find it for $40 on plenty of sites.Oct 14, 2012Anonymous

Worth The PainThis is my second epilator. I also have the emjoi light caress corded epilator and between the two I prefer this one. I love that this has two different attachments, one for the face and one for the body. Also, the charge on this lasts quite a long time, I was really surprised.
Also, because the actual "tweezers" on the head are detachable from the rechargeable base, you can actually run it under the faucet to clean it, which makes it very easy.Jul 23, 2012Danielle

College Hockey:Air Force, Niagara Finish in 2-2 Tie
Fransdal Scores Equalizer for Falcons
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — For the second night in a row, Air Force and Niagara played an overtime, but on Saturday, no one could scored the winner as the game ended in a 2-2 tie.
On Friday, Niagara won 3-2 in overtime, but Air Force coach Frank Serratore said his team had a better performance on Saturday.
"I feel like we played a better game tonight," Serratore said. "We made some changes tactically that really helped us, and we played with great urgency when we were down."
"We tried to come out with a lot of jump, a lot of intensity," said Falcon goaltender Marc Kielkucki, who made 48 saves over the weekend. "We worked hard and it would have been nice to come away with the 'W.' I thought we played well enough to deserve it."
"I have to give Air Force credit," said Niagara head coach Blaise MacDonald. "I thought we lacked the killer instinct early in the game, and they play well with and without the puck.
"We made great strides as a team this weekend, though. These games showed us areas we can be proud of and also showed us areas we need to work on."
Niagara, running off its momentum from the OT victory, was quick out of the blocks.
The Purple Eagles got the scoring started early. Less than five minutes had elapsed in the first period before freshman forward Nick Kormanyos picked up his first collegiate point by beating Air Force goaltender Marc Kielkucki with a high shot to the back of the net. Sophomore Randy Harris and freshman Chris Welch assisted on the goal to give the Purple Eagles the 1-0 lead.
Air Force battled for nearly the entire period before it was able to retaliate. With a man advantage due to a Niagara tripping penalty, freshman Spanky Leonard and senior Scott Bradley set up junior Derek Olson for a shot. At 18:21, Olson fired the puck past Niagara goalie Rob Bonk to light the lamp for the Falcons. The teams retired to the locker rooms with the scored tied at 1.
The second period was dominated by special teams play as both teams spent significant time in the penalty box. Air Force served four minor penalties while Niagara served three.
At 17:29, with both teams finally at full strength, it was the Purple Eagles who broke the tie. Junior defenseman Scott Crawford, off rebound shots from Paul Muniz and John Heffernan, flipped the puck past Kielkucki for Niagara's second goal of the evening. The period ended with Niagara once again in control, 2-1.
The Falcons were quick to retaliate in the third period. At 5:18, sophomore Kyle Fransdal wrapped around the back of the net and snapped the puck past Bonk to tie the game at 2. Defenseman Brian Reaney and center Derek Olson picked up points on the assists.
The teams battled evenly throughout the rest of the third as the goaltenders each posted five saves for the period. For the second time in a row, the Fighting Falcons and the Purple Eagles were forced into overtime.
The best efforts of both teams proved fruitless, though, as the game remained tied at the end of an intense overtime.
"These were two well-played, exciting games," said Serratore. "In this conference, the speed limit is high, and I commend our kids for playing hard all weekend.
"But we gave away three points out of four at home, and that stings. We'll have to make up those points on the road."
"At the end of the day, taking three out of four points on the road is pretty good," said MacDonald.

It is almost time for "The Bachelorette" 2014 to start and spoilers are already out for episode one. On Tuesday, Reality Steve shared big spoilers about how it will all go down. He was able to get a sneak peek of the first episode. He was able to see everything but the rose ceremony. That didn't keep him from figuring out who goes home though.
Steve already shared that Chris Bukowski will show up on the first night. He will try to get them to let him be on the show and Chris Harrison will act like he knows nothing about him coming. It is highly unlikely that he doesn't know but the show plays it out that way. Andi won't even let him in the door and doesn't act like she even knows who he is at all. You can assume he will show back up on "Bachelor in Paradise."
They show Andi Dorfman talking to her sister before it all starts. Her dad actually showed up as well, but they leave that out of the show. For the first time, viewers won't get to see any intros from the guys. The show will just start with them getting out of the limo and meeting Andi.
It really doesn't sound like there are any crazy exits out of the limo. One guy will be a fan of Lover's Bridge in Paris so they put a lock on the mansion gate and throw away the key. Another guy gets out with champagne. Nick will get the first impression rose this season. It sounds like a pretty uneventful first night when Andi meets the guys. The guys who go home are Josh Bauer, Dr. Jason Leep, Rudie Dane, Mike Campanelli, Steven Woolworth, and Emil Schaffroth.
Don't miss "The Bachelorette" 2014 when it starts airing on Monday May 19. It will be on at 8: 30 p.m. CST in the Oklahoma City area following "Dancing With the Stars." This looks like a great start to the season.

More than two dozen people are injured –– five critically –– and two are dead after a car careened into a crowd outside a concert venue at the popular South by Southwest music and entertainment festival, according to a post to the Austin Police Department official Twitter page.
The incident, according to a report from the Associated Press, took place just after midnight central time, after which accounts from witnesses began pouring in to social media sites.
The department tweeted about an incident at 9th and Red River streets in Austin, Texas, where the SXSW festival is held annually, which Fox 7 News in Austin indicates is outside a local concert hall called The Mohawk.
People at the scene have taken to social media sites like Twitter and Instagram to upload photos of the scene.
Police are asking those who witnessed the car crashing into the crowd of pedestrians to talk to police at the scene.
Lt. Brian Moore, in a briefing, said 21 people were transported to hospitals, most suffering just minor injuries.
Five people injured in the accident, Moore said, did suffer more serious injuries.

While we haven't yet mastered the finer points to our pastries or cupcakes, we think it's time to work in a little chocolate. One part recipe book, one part travelogue, Willie's Chocolate Bible: Chocolate Heaven in Recipes & Stories ($28) by chocolate guru Willie Harcourt-Cooze is a great book to grow our appreciation of all things chocolate (like we don't already appreciate it enough!). Besides, it's a given that you've gotta trust the chocolate expertise of anyone named Willie, right?

Arizona State vs California
Jan. 22, 2 p.m. - Men & Women
Arizona State vs Stanford
Jan. 23, 11 a.m. - Women, 1:30 p.m. - Men
TEMPE, Ariz. - The Arizona State men's (3-2 this season) and women's (5-2-1 this season) swimming and diving squads resume action this week with a pair of contests against top-10 Pac-10 foes. On Fri., Jan 22, the ASU men (No. 10) and women (No. 20) face California in a dual meet scheduled for 2 p.m. at Mona Plummer Aquatic Center on the campus of Arizona State University. California's men's squad enters this week's meet No. 8 in the country while its women's squad comes in at No. 6. The following day (Jan. 23) the Sun Devils will take on the Stanford Cardinal, whose men's and women's teams are both ranked No. 1 in the country.
LAST TIME OUT: The Arizona State men's and women's swimming and diving teams defeated the University of Utah Jan. 9 at the Mona Plummer Aquatic Center. The men (3--2) won 154-77 while the women (5-2-1) prevailed 160-74. The Sun Devil men won six of the nine individual events and both relays (200 medley and 200 free). Winners on the men's side included freshman Jacob Copley (1000 free, 9:36.31), sophomore Matt Carter (200 free, 1:41.72), junior Pablo Abal (50 free, 20.95), sophomore Austin Paulsen (400 IM, 4:00.04), freshman Bo West (500 free, 4:36.87) and recent transfer Travis Leyenhorst (100 breast, 56.92). The women were paced by freshmen Sarah Baham and Riley Mants, who both won two individual events. Baham took first in the 50 free (24.45) and the 100 fly (56.47) while Mants was victorious in the 400 IM (4:35.36) and the 100 free (53.66).
ASU Head Coach Michael Chasson on this week's meets: "I think that this weekend will be a good test of where we are. Since Texas (the Texas invitational in December) we haven't had a real tough meet that has been challenging swimming against top-level athletes. I think this will be a real good indication of where we are and if we have improved since December or not."
(Against California)
"I'm hoping to see some close races that we win. Last year ASU had a real close meet with Cal and I'm hoping that we can come back and maybe win this meet. It would be a good win to beat a team in the top 10, which is something that we haven't done this year. I think there will be a lot of close races that will be hotly contested. They are a big recruiting rival."
(Against Stanford)
"We are looking to see how many races we can win because there are some races that we can win against Stanford and if we can't win (then we want to see) how close we can be to winning them. We just want to be competitive and race them tough and see how we stack up against some of their top guys who have a lot of experience."
"This weekend's meets are a test of how our speed is working. We've spent more time working on speed, doing more quality stuff, but the only way you really know if you are moving in the right direction is swimming a meet against a good opponent."
On the women's team: "To a certain extent I have got a feel for what they do. We have only had two meets since I have been coaching them and both of those meets were against teams that weren't real strong and so certainly against these two teams we will have a much better idea of where we stack up."
RUNNER-UP FINISH FOR MALATESTA: ASU diver Trish Malatesta recently took second place in the platform competition at the 1999 All-American Diving Invitational held Jan. 6-10 in Austin, Texas. The meet included some of the top NCAA and club divers around the nation.
FABULOUS FROSH: One Sun Devil freshman who has already made a big impact this season is Riley Mants, who swam for Canada at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta.

Senator Kerry on the Place of Religion in America
by John Shelby Spong
July 30, 2004
For my column this week I have written a speech on the place of religion in American life that I would like to see Senator John Kerry make as part of his campaign for the presidency of the United States. I also delivered this speech in this format to a gathering of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention in the Old South Church in Boston on Tuesday, July 27, 2004.
Because this column is longer than usual, I will omit the question and answer feature this week only.
-- John Shelby Spong
My Fellow Americans:
In this campaign it has become apparent to me that most people in our country take seriously the faith and religious convictions of the candidates seeking the presidency. I cannot imagine it to be otherwise when those beliefs have an enormous impact on how either one of us will relate to the great moral choices of our day and the context out of which we will make the decisions of government.
As most of you know I was raised as a Christian in the Roman Catholic tradition. My faith has been a central part of my life, from my childhood days as an altar boy to my service in Vietnam, to the shaping of the values of my public life both as a prosecuting attorney and as a senator. At the heart of those values is the call to recognize the image of God in every person I meet and every citizen I serve. My wife and I are today active participants in our parish church. But while I respect, honor and seek personally to live by the teachings of my church, I think it is important to assure all Americans that I will never seek to impose my church's teachings upon the body politic of my nation. My respect for the pluralistic nature of American society is far too great for that. There are even some in the hierarchy of my own church who are uncomfortable with this commitment of mine, but it is to me an unwavering principle that I will never compromise. I am confident that most people even in my own Church understand and appreciate that position.
From the earliest days of America's discovery, this nation's Christian roots have been clear. No one should ever seek to deny or to diminish this part of our heritage. These welcoming shores have always been a haven for the persecuted. The first Christians who came to settle this land were religious refugees seeking a place where they were free to worship as they believed they should. They were Puritans in Massachusetts, Anglicans in Virginia, Catholics in Maryland and Quakers in Pennsylvania. Almost always what they were fleeing was some governmentally imposed religious authority. This nation promised these people that in this new world of hope, freedom of religion would always be guaranteed. Even though most of our citizens at that time were Christians, there has never been a desire to impose any one version of that faith on our people.
As the world has grown smaller, that promise has served us well since religious diversity today means something more than choosing between competing Christian denominations. In the last two centuries our country has been privileged to welcome and incorporate into our expanding and free society, people who worship as Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus as well as people of no religious persuasion at all. We also absorbed some of the spirituality of our Native American population. Our ability to accommodate this wonderful diversity, was a result of the genius of our founding fathers who created a constitution which established no religion but which guaranteed to all religious freedom. I am deeply committed to that principle, because it is basic to my vision of America.
Because religion is at the heart of our identity as human beings, religious issues are always emotional. That has been true since the dawn of time. It is still true today. Sometimes these issues have been so intense that they divided not just our communities of faith, but the whole nation as well, creating passionate controversy. Today we think of the debate that revolves around reproductive rights, birth control, family planning and abortion. Another fierce conflict is present in the current political and ecclesiastical discussions about how our gay and lesbian citizens are treated before the bar of justice and how they are welcomed and included generally in our society and churches.
Religious division also swirls around the place of prayer and sex education in our public schools, the use of capital punishment and even the proper way to seek to build a peaceful world. Many of our citizens, led by their deep and honorable convictions, challenge our nation today about basic fairness in all areas of our corporate life: fairness in the payment of taxes, fairness in the opportunities available to all our citizens in education and fairness in our willingness to provide health care for all our people. They believe, as I do, that both the burdens this nation imposes and the freedoms this nation offers should be equally available to all our citizens. Each of these issues has profound religious significance. The first thing a competent, as well as a compassionate government, must do is to be aware that these strong feelings exist, then to listen to the voices of those who raise them and finally to work to bring, if not consensus, then at least civility to our debate about how this nation will proceed on each of these questions. My guiding principle as your President will be to recognize that while some values may from time to time be in conflict among our citizens, the ultimate value of human dignity for all people must never be allowed to be compromised in anything that we do.
When one moves to the world scene one does not have to look far to see that religion has sometimes been used in the past, and is still being used today, in very destructive and life-denying ways. In the September 11th, 2001, attack, this nation experienced the violence and even the evil that can sometimes be found in religion. In the Middle East today, where three of the world's great religions have their origins, a brutal and bloody struggle goes on in which people, in the name of God, kill one another and themselves as a mandate of their worship. To the degree that religion feeds such attitudes and fuels such conflicts, we have to say that something has gone seriously wrong, for violence and hatred can never be the fruits of the spirit. As the most powerful nation on the face of the earth, we cannot avoid engagement in this part of the world. Nor would I want to do so. This venomous hatred, however, must be addressed through a foreign policy in which our strength is tempered by cooperation, by fairness and by mutual respect.
The America I see evolving today upholds its traditional religious heritage, but is still open to the emerging realities of our century. I believe we are a better society and a richer society because we honor and respect our diversity and recognize that people of every religious tradition have made major contributions to our nation's life. I note that this country has had Protestants and Catholics serving in almost every branch of our government as well as in the White House. We also have Jews serving this nation at this moment in the Senate, in the House of Representatives, on the Supreme Court and in every other walk of life. I am proud that my party nominated an Orthodox Jewish man and a great American, Connecticut's Senator Joseph Lieberman, to be our candidate for Vice President in 2000. That was a tribute both to him and to this nation's openness. But as our religious diversity keeps expanding, our willingness to embrace differences must also expand with it. That has not always happened. There are today, for example, more practicing Muslims living in the United States than there are adherents of some of our best-known Christian dominations. Hindus and Buddhists have come primarily from Asia in great numbers drawn by their participation in our high tech industry, and our capital markets. America must stand ready to honor these venerable world religions as they are added increasingly to the mix of our life. We must also in the name of decency and fairness honor those people who are not practitioners of any organized religion. They are also valued contributors of our land. None of our citizens is to be regarded as second class because of an adopted pattern of worship. All are Americans who work hard, pay taxes and exercise the privilege of the ballot. They stand ready to serve our nation and to defend our liberties with their lives in our armed forces. They are Democrats and Republicans and members of smaller political parties that express their convictions as this country has always allowed. They are political conservatives, moderates and liberals. They love this country and they do not want to see religion become a divisive force in our nation. Neither do I. Neither do the great majority of our citizens.
To balance our own deeply held religious convictions with the levels of tolerance and the mutual respect, that it takes to live in a pluralistic society, takes individual and national maturity. But I believe the people of the United States are capable of that. Most extended families in America have their own examples of religious diversity. One of my near ancestors, for example, was Jewish. Theresa and I have both Protestant and Catholic family members that we love and honor. We count among our friends Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus as well as adherents of no particular religious tradition. That is what America is. It is the job of the President of the United States not to set us against one another, but to keep us open and respectful of one another. That is accomplished, I believe, by the example the President sets. So let me make some specific pledges to you.
I will never try to divide this nation for my own political gain by playing one religious group off against another or playing religious people off against non-religious people.
I will never seek to use religion to gain votes.
I will never use our constitution to discriminate against any citizen of this land.
I will seek to develop a corporate life in the United States where mutual respect is real and where we honor God in one another and in our common humanity even as it stretches across great religious divides.
My experience in my own religious life encourages me to believe that very few traditions or religious practices are finally ever set in stone. They are rather always evolving. We are all aware that things have been done in our history with the blessing of religion of which we are today deeply ashamed. I do not need to remind you that Christians practiced slavery for centuries. Christians supported segregation and apartheid. Christians condemned Galileo and set up the battle that still goes on between science and religion, a battle that has not served America well. The debate over stem cell research is the modern form of this old debate. In the history of our Western world violent religious wars have been fought dividing nations and people. Those of our fellow human beings who have had religious convictions different from the majority have, in Christian history, been persecuted and even burned at the stake. With the encouragement and even the blessing of our various churches we have systematically treated women as second class citizens. In my own State of Massachusetts we executed women as witches in the 18th Century. We have oppressed people who were thought of as different out of our irrational fears. We have allowed homosexuals to be victims of great discrimination, physical abuse and even murder. We are not proud of these things today and most of them, thank God, are no longer saluted anywhere in this land. But they still reside in our memory so that we know that even religion, which is dedicated to the highest ideals and values, can nonetheless turn destructive and when it does we need to remember that it brings out the very worst that is in us.
The way I seek to guard against these tragedies ever occurring again in our nation is to recognize that the mystery and wonder of God is something we all seek, but no one ever possesses it. In the moment that we claim to do so, religion turns demonic. When we fully appreciate the fact that all religious people are finally pilgrims in search of the Truth of God rather than those who have arrived at some promised land of certain belief, then we will be a stronger nation and we will live in a more peaceful world.
I also note that throughout history change has occurred when great spirits have arisen to expand our understanding, to teach us new lessons, to provide new insight and to enhance our vision of who God is and where God can be found. Mother Theresa was one of those change agents. She opened our eyes to see the face of God in the faces of the poor. Martin Luther King Jr. was another. He helped us to see the image of God in those who were the victims of our racial discrimination. There have been modern day martyrs whose lives and deaths have served to raise our consciousness to changing realities and new definitions of what it means to be human. One thinks of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming and Harvey Milk in San Francisco. Surely the God we all seek can be found only when we dedicate ourselves to the task of building a world that will affirm the kind of openness to one another that will preclude violence at every point.
I am very happy to tell you that when I am privileged to serve as the President of the United States I will seek the wisdom of God and I will both allow and encourage a dialogue to take place inside me between my deepest religious convictions and my public duty. My goal will be to honor God in every person, to leave no life behind and to see to it that none of our citizens is allowed to live outside the boundaries of human dignity. I will therefore oppose anything that diminishes the life of any child of God. I will impose the standard of fairness on every piece of legislation I encourage. These are my values. They come out of my religious faith. I will not talk of these things publicly, but they will be at the heart of my presidency.
I want America to be a beacon of hope in a broken world, even in a religiously torn world. I want America to be the proverbial shining city, set upon a hill, where the light that radiates from us speaks of openness, tolerance, fairness, love and justice. That, I believe, is what religion at its best is all about. That is also what I believe America should be all about. At this point and at this point alone Church and State are not divided.
Is that too idealistic to dream, to advocate? I do not think so. I hope that you will join me in lifting high these principles and upholding these standards for the sake of our nation and in the service of the God who each of us deems to be ultimately holy and ultimately real.

If you go to a delicatessen or any restaurant that serves sandwiches, you may be familiar with one called "The Reuben". This is a old classic that has sauerkraut, corned beef, and Swiss cheese served with mustard on rye bread. It's a wonderful combination of flavors and one that many never forget once they try it.
I came across an interesting recipe that is a relative to the sandwich, which is for a "Reuben Casserole". This casserole contains many of the ingredients that the sandwich does, except that it's in a hot main dish! Reuben sandwich fans will love this one and if you've never had a Reuben, this will introduce you to it!
This dish begins easily enough with cream of chicken soup, to which you add mayonnaise and mustard. This is layered in a casserole dish with sauerkraut, noodles, corned beef, onion, and Swiss cheese. For the topping, rye bread crumbs give it the crowning touch. This is baked for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Then, the dish is covered and is baked for 15 minutes. Then, the cover is removed and bakes for 15 more minutes. Serve this with a green salad and a hot bread and you've got a good and easy dinner!
The mustard called for in the recipe can be pretty much any prepared mustard you like. The regular yellow mustard is always good, though the wine-based mustards or brown mustards are also great to use here, also. This also is very good reheated the next day and it heats up very quickly and easily in the microwave. To be honest, I feel that it's better the second day, as it chilling overnight in the refrigerator seems to enable the flavors to blend well.
Speaking of casseroles, I recently ran a recipe that many of you really liked, which is for "Spaghetti Casserole", another good and easy dish. In the event you missed it earlier, here's the link to get it:
Like the Reuben sandwich? Then you'll adore it's relative, the casserole!
- 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 4 teaspoons prepared mustard
- 4 cups drained sauerkraut
- 8 oz. noodles, cooked and drained
- 1 can (12 oz.) corned beef
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup rye bread crumbs
Mix together the soup, mayonnaise and mustard in a medium bowl. Layer the sauerkraut, noodles, soup mixture, corned beef, onion, cheese and bread crumbs in that order in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until cooked through. Cover the dish with heavy foil and bake for 15 more minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an addition 15 minutes. Yield: 6-8 servings.

ESPN's film "The U" was a breakthrough documentary for the network's "30 for 30" series when it was released back in 2009. The film garnered so much popularity that for years fans have clamored for a sequel to Bill Corben's widely acclaimed hit.
Well fans, your wish has finally been granted.
According to SI.com's Richard Deitsch, the network's ESPN Films division has ordered a second documentary on Miami's football program, tentatively titled "The U: Part 2". Corben and producer Alfred Spellman will join together again to make the film, which is set to air this winter and will be two hours long.
"The original film followed the transformation from a Miami football program that went largely unnoticed to 'The U' and all that [associated with it] both on and off the field," said an ESPN Films spokesperson. "It became a cult classic and remains one of the most talked-about '30 for 30' films we've ever done. But that narrative didn't end in the early 90's and this sequel will pick up where the original left off."
2.368 million viewers tuned into their televisions to watch "The U" when it aired in 2009, making it ESPN's highest-rated documentary at that time. The original film focused on the rise of the Hurricanes' football program that won four national titles between 1983 and 1991. The program was hit with sanctions in 1995 for numerous infractions inside the school's athletic department but rose to prominence again in 2001 when Miami defeated Nebraska for its fifth national championship.
Deitsch also reported that Corben and Spellman started shooting last week and have already sat down with former Miami offensive lineman Bryant McKinnie, who played on the 2001 title team. There is no short list of standouts that played for the Hurricanes during the 1990s and 2000s. 42 players from the 2001 national championship team went on to be drafted from 2002-2006, including 17 in the first round.
The school also produced an NFL first round pick for 14 straight seasons from 1994 to 2008, which is an NFL record. Miami also set a record in 2004 when six players were taken in the first round. Some of those first round picks during that span include Ray Lewis, Clinton Portis, Ed Reed, Warren Sapp, Jeremy Shockey, Reggie Wayne, Kellen Winslow Jr., Vince Wilfork, Willis McGahee, and Phillip Buchanon.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – American Idol 2014 results last night April 10, 2014 were revealed. But who was sent home on American Idol last night, who got the elimination, and was there another surprise? For the last three weeks, the focus of American Idol elimination predictions have been CJ Harris and Sam Woolf. With the judges using their only save on Sam last week, viewers wondered if CJ and Sam could head back to the bottom three this week again. In the end, Sam did not visit the Bottom Two for American Idol results last night. The Bottom Two rather was CJ Harris once again and Malaya Watson. And in final results, Malaya was sent home.
For now, American Idol results 2014 leave fans guessing how many times can CJ Harris land in the bottom and not get eliminated. Malaya Watson was eliminated last night. But now, going into next week's Idol results, CJ Harris and Sam Woolf will be tied with the most visits to the bottom three, namely three times. Dexter Roberts and Jena Irene, in turn, have visited only once.
Strangely, the judges this week gave Jessica Meuse and Jenna Irene the most critical remarks. But Jessica didn't visit the bottom last night and hasn't visited it once yet. For now, there are six weeks left in the competition, seven remaining contestants, and no remaining judges saves. For more about American Idol results this week click HERE.

There are times that call for standing your ground, no matter what, when you are right. There are other times when graciously backing off is the better choice.
The reasoning behind Dr. William McIntosh's decision to include a bust of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin at the National D-Day Memorial is correct. Dr. McIntosh sees all these sculptures as teaching tools and Stalin has an important lesson to teach us.
Articles helped
I would like to take this opportunity to thank The Bedford Bulletin for its fine coverage of Bedford House during the last month.
The front page article of the Challenge Grant for the Endowment Fund was read in all parts of the county and engendered many of the generous donations that we received. In fact, I will credit the newspaper coverage with helping us to almost double our goal of $30,000 to meet the $100,000 challenge!
It is no secret that the American people are facing a very tough economic climate. Families and small businesses are cutting back on expenses. As economic uncertainty continues, many across our nation are looking to the government for leadership during this difficult time. In these challenging economic times it is even more important for government to control spending.
They don't make Virginia governor's races like they used to, at least not since 1973.
That year, liberal firebrand Henry Howell squared off against Mills Godwin, the segregationist Democrat who had left the party after having previously been elected governor in 1965.
We have less than three weeks to go before the Nov. 3 state and local elections. I hope you're registered and intend to show up at the polls as these elections are important.
Granted, the local picture in Bedford County isn't exciting. The incumbents are running unopposed, so if each one gets his wife to vote for him and not too many people vote for Mickey Mouse, he wins. However, there are contested races for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general as well as the 19th House of Delegates seat.
Remember the days of the Commodore 64, the Apple II, and the Atari 400. Remember when folks couldn't figure out what anyone would need with 640K of memory.
Those are days, long gone by. But in the basements, attics and garages of many area residents those memories appear to linger, along with broken down microwave ovens, old television sets and printers that no longer print.
But what can be done with all of that electronic garbage? The city of Bedford did its part last week to help us get rid of the waste.
Grieving the loss
The community grieves at the loss of Olde Liberty Station. It has been a welcoming place to enjoy good food for so many.
Happily Harry and Julie Leist are planning to reconstruct and reopen this well-loved restaurant and landmark.
As Congress continues to work on healthcare reform, I am focused on making sure the voices of Central and Southern Virginians are represented in the debate. I know Virginians are deeply concerned about getting health care costs under control, securing the insurance people already have, and taking care of our seniors. Getting my constituents' feedback has been of primary importance to me, which is why I launched an online healthcare forum (www.perriello.house.gov/healthcareforum) in June and held over 100 hours of town hall meetings in August.

"6-2-14, 11 am UPDATE: "Tess" is at the vet getting a full workup--bloodwork, xrays, etc. She is in very bad shape, and seems to be quite elderly. Please honor pledges to Jesse's Place, a 501c3 rescue, paypal email@example.com. Please note that your donation is for TESS/Gaston 2282. Thank you!"
There have been multiple offers to adopt this dog. Please keep in mind there are many other dogs who are in desperate need of rescue. Please allow this writer to share the following from the volunteers who want each and every cat and dog to have a home and get as much attention as Tess:
"We the admins of this page appreciate the good efforts and intentions of all of you, but we don't mind saying it pains us to know there are 150 other animals (DOUBLE what the population should be) at Gaston who aren't getting any attention compared to this. We don't want you to forget this girl, but it would be great if each of you could help us network one of the others as well. Simply scroll back and forth in this album. There are other senior dogs (2058, 2059, 2136, 2241), there are other black labby dogs (2014, 2059, 2075, 2077, 2241), and there are the dogs and cats that we know are up for sure euth (dogs: 1927 2014 2049 2058-2059 2075 2077 2107 and cats: 2057c 2060c 2061c 2066c 2068c 2069c 2082c)."
She has no name; she was picked up as a stray with a dislocated hip in poor condition. The gentle, black Labrador mixed breed lies quietly on her mat at the Gaston County Animal Control, N.C. She appears to have emotionally just given up.
Veterinarians reset her hip and have given her pain medication to help her with her temporary discomfort, but a senior dog estimated to be over seven years old, no matter how sweet she is, has very few chances of leaving the shelter alive.
Here are Id#2282 statistics as listed by Animal Control. Saddest of all, please note her date to be euthanized is also listed:
