The leveraged use of biomarkers presents an opportunity in understanding target engagement and disease impact while accelerating drug development. For effective integration in drug development, it is essential for biomarkers to aid in the elucidation of mechanisms of action and disease progression. The recent years have witnessed significant progress in biomarker selection, validation, and qualification, while enabling surrogate and clinical endpoint qualification and application. Biomarkers play a central role in target validation for novel mechanisms. They also play a central role in the learning/confirming paradigm, particularly when utilized in concert with pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modeling. Clearly, these attributes make biomarker integration attractive for scientific and regulatory applications to new drug development. In this review, applications of proximal, or target engagement, and distal, or disease-related, biomarkers are highlighted using the example of the recent development of sitagliptin for type 2 diabetes, wherein elucidation of target engagement and disease-related biomarkers significantly accelerated sitagliptin drug development. Importantly, use of biomarkers as tools facilitated design of clinical efficacy trials while streamlining dose focus and optimization, the net impact of which reduced overall cycle time to filing as compared to the industry average.

MODTHEBOX! reviews the Xoxide C-6 Black Hawk case.
Of course, the highlight of this case is the huge side panel window. Accented in chrome finished moulding, the window gives a spacious view of the case interior. The window itself is a foot long and 9 inches high. At first, I wasn't sure I liked the placement of the window, with the lower portion of the motherboard hidden from view, but with the system installed and some interior lighting, it grew on me. Mounted in the bottom corner of the side panel is one of six Sunon KD1208PTS2-6 80mm fans. These fans are a sleeve bearing , running at 2700 RPM, while displacing 35 cubic feet/minute of air at a noise level of 30 decibels.More information at MODTHEBOX!

It is said that if you ever saw how sausage was made, you would never eat it. And so it was that after watching the proceedings of the State Assembly Organizational Committee in Sacramento last Wednesday I felt sickness in my stomach and disillusionment in my heart.
As one familiar with some issues affecting the industrial community, I had been asked to appear at a hearing opposing AB 277, which would enable the Indian gaming casino to be built in Madera. In addition to a few representatives from opposed Indian tribes, others appearing included one farmer, one pastor, and one very forthright Madera County supervisor.
Arriving in Sacramento, an attorney representing those opposed to off-reservation Indian gaming told us the committee was chaired by Los Angeles Assemblyman Isadore Hall III, whom the governor had directed to push the bill through committee for a floor vote. We were told to limit our comments to no more than one to three minutes and present our accompanying written material.
None of us was opposing Indian gaming in Madera County. Our issues related to safety, social impacts, and water at that specific location and generally to the integrity of the government process. My chief concern had first been raised by a Madera Airport commissioner. It was that the Environmental Impact Report overlooked the hazard of building a high occupancy casino/hotel in an airport take-off zone, contrary to the published land use safety guidelines under the State Aeronautics Act. I hoped to outline serious unanswered questions and present an air traffic map and other written material.
The pastor would point to published studies of the adverse social impacts of urban gambling and challenge the proponents' assertion that virtually no Maderans opposed a casino being built on the edge of town.
The farmer would point out that sinking wells for a high water usage development at this site would likely adversely impact the fragile local water table.
Finally, the county supervisor, representing the district where the casino would actually be located, objected, as did his predecessor, that the report (financed by outside gaming investors) misrepresented critical issues that could impact the county in perpetuity. He wanted to present to the committee one of several, six-inch thick binders containing scores of constituent letters objecting to the project.
When the hearing opened, we watched from the gallery, because every seat on the main floor was already occupied by proponents who had been bused in. Chairman Hall announced that he supported the bill and proceeded to call one witness after another to testify without interruption to its merits.
Witnesses included North Fork tribal officials and attorneys, the governor's representative, and a number of current and past Madera elected officials supporting the casino. After nearly two hours, opponents were finally admitted to the chamber and lined up behind the public comment microphone. The chair admonished us to state our name, whom we represented, whether we were "for or opposed" to the bill, then to remove ourselves from the microphone forthwith.
The first at the podium was the supervisor representing some 35,000 Maderans. He identified himself as the supervisor of the affected district and began to step forward to present the binder. The chairman immediately and sternly rebuffed him, and after the supervisor pleaded to make a few comments, his microphone was cut off and the sergeant-at-arms briefly summoned. The exasperated supervisor was reduced to reporting that he opposed the bill without the dignity of being allowed to explain why.
Although Chairman Hall, at his own discretion, later allowed five opposed tribal representatives to make three-minute statements, the rest of us were limited to stating our name, represented group, and that we were opposed.
Thus, were the inconvenient questions of public safety, community social impacts, water resourcing, and government transparency summarily dispatched. The session ended amid much self-congratulation by the proponents. Chairman Hall had his victory. And the proceedings had demonstrated that parliamentary procedure strictly controlled by the chair of a committee or a board can wield the imperious power of censorship with shocking effectiveness.
As our country becomes increasingly fractured along party, ethnic, class, and special interest lines, we should denounce the use of parliamentary manipulation at any level of government that cynically limits the balanced consideration of opposing views. Perhaps to the chairman we must all rise and salute, "All Hail, Honorable Chairman!"... but in our aching gut we may wonder, "What toxic ingredients have you mixed into our political sausage?"

A Rabbi's World
The JW Q&A
Thirty years after Jacob Chinitz, a Conservative rabbi, and his wife Ruth and two children moved to Israel, he took an interim post at a Montreal synagogue. A woman in his Bible class there would turn out to be his next wife. But not yet.
Jacob was widowed in 2005 after 50 years of marriage. He was back in Israel and still had the company there of two children and six grandchildren. But it's not the same as a partner. "Two years later, I was still lonely," says the rabbi.
Enter his former student, Dolly Dezsofi, who also had led a full life. Hungarian-born, she came to Jerusalem for a conference of the Jewish Child Survivor's Network in November 2007. Though her first two marriages hadn't worked out, she still believed in marriage and in the pursuit of happiness. "That's what prompted me to call Jacob and invite him out for dinner."
"We hit it off from the very beginning," says Jacob."Dolly was full of life. She was energetic, fun, and optimistic. And I was captivated by her smile."
Yet the second date had to wait a while. Dolly liked to keep her commitments and she had signed up for a three-week Sar-El Volunteers for Israel program in which civilians live on an army base. Still, Dolly wanted Jacob to know that she was interested in their relationship. She emailed Jacob: "I'd like to cook dinner for you."
"The pasta was cooked," says Jacob, "and I was cooked."
They shared many interests. They both worked out in the gym; they played Scrabble together; and they began reading a famed Jewish mystical text, the Zohar, together.
Yet Dolly decided to return to Montreal. "I wasn't going to uproot myself for an unstable situation. There had to be a commitment," says Dolly.
Jacob had feelings for Dolly. A rabbinic colleague, Reuven P. Bulka, had written: "A good first marriage naturally begets a second marriage."
Jacob, however, still had feelings for his first wife. As he himself admitted: "Every once in a while, it's like having two wives." As a member of the Moreshet Israel congregation in Jerusalem, Jacob discussed the matter with his rabbi, Avraham Feder. Rabbi Feder told him: "It's very complicated, because you don't want to forget what you had."
The idea of parents remarrying is not necessarily an easy thing for the children, even when they are grown-up. Jacob notes how the Babylonian Talmud addresses this issue of step parents in Ketubot 103. Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi says the commandment "Honor your father and mother" refers to the wife of your father, including a second wife, and the husband of your mother, including a step parent.
For Dolly's children, the idea of their mother remarryiing would be a double blow. She was leaving their settled family constellation and she was leaving Montreal. Actually, though, only one of her four children lived in Montreal, as the others had scattered, but were still on the same continent, in L.A., Miami, and Toronto.
Both Dolly and Jacob celebrate January birthdays. Their 2008 gift to themselves was the decision to get married. For Dolly, the fact that one grandson lived in Israel made the move easier. She returned to Israel in July of that year and in four days, everything was ready for the wedding. The four poles of the wedding canopy would be held up by Jacob's four grandsons. Their friend, Rabbi Feder, would officiate. What did he say to the couple under the wedding canopy? "Every marriage is a gamble, and this one is even more." But life is a gamble, right? Dolly was 78, and Jacob was 87.
Dolly and Jacob were married on July 11, 2008. Mazal tov!

I knew Doll's husband, Jacon Chinitz from the time we were very young 6-7 year old chilren. I have been in Israel for many years and knew of Jacob's death ... I did know Ruth. I will be in Jeruselem in May (around the 12th) and would like to meet Dolly - if she is well and willing. I shall only be there for a few days. She can, I she wishes, reach me here. Jacob (to me he will always be "Yankele") had a photo of himself as a ten yeard old in a sailor suit and cap - I gave him a copy when I met him after many years in DC - then saw him and Ruth in Jeruselem.

I would like to be put in touch with Dolly Dezsofi. My mother's maiden name is Dersofi and her father came from Hungary. I see some similarity in the names even though it is a wild shot at actually being related.
Please assist. my e-mail is: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you!

The Environmental Apocalypse
Early in the morning, while most are still sleeping, groups of elderly Chinese women spread out across city streets. They tear open trash bags, pick through the litter and sort out bottles and cans that come with a deposit. And then they bring them to the local supermarket to a machine that scans and evaluates each can, accepting and rejecting them one by one, and finally printing out a receipt.
The interaction between the elderly immigrant who speaks broken English or the homeless man who is barely holding it together… and the machine is a stark contrast between what the new smart clean green economy pretends to be and what it actually is.
The machine, like so much else that we design, is impressive, but its existence depends on someone digging through the trash with their hands for much less than minimum wage to extract a generally useless item.
The entire bottle economy, which has more than a passing resemblance to the trash sorting operations in the Third World carried out by despised and persecuted minorities, like the Zabbaleen in Egypt, is artificial. The United States is not so poor that it actually needs to recycle. It recycles not under the impulse of economic imperatives, but of government mandates.
The elderly Chinese women dig through the trash because politicians decided to impose a tax on us and an incentive for them in the form of a deposit. All those useless 1980s laws created a strange underground economy of marginalized people digging through the trash.
Every time politicians celebrate a recycling target met and show off some shiny new machine, hiding behind the curtain are the dirty weary people dragging through the streets at the crack of dawn, donning rubber gloves and tearing apart trash bags. They are the unglamorous low-tech reality of environmentalism.
These are the Green Jobs that aren't much talked about. They pay below minimum wage and have no workplace safety regulations. They are the Third World reality behind the First World ecology tripe. It's not that the people who plan and run the system don't know about them. But they don't like to talk about them because they come too close to revealing the unsavory truth about where environmentalism is really going.
Environmentalism, like every liberal notion, is sold to the masses as modern and progressive. It's the exact opposite. It's every bit as modern and progressive as those sacks of cans being hauled by hand through the streets to the machine.
Prince Charles, that avid idiot and environmentalist, visited a Mumbai slum a few years ago and said that it had some lessons to teach the West.
"When you enter what looks from the outside like an immense mound of plastic and rubbish, you immediately come upon an intricate network of streets with miniature shops, houses and workshops, each one made out of any material that comes to hand," Prince Charles wrote in his book, Harmony.
The Prince of Wales is quite the author. In addition to Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World, he has written Shelter: Human Habitats from Around the World, The Prince's Speech: On the Future of Food and The Illustrated Guide to Chickens: How to Choose Them, How to Keep Them.

"There never was such a goose. Bob said he didn't believe there ever was such a goose cooked. Its tenderness and flavour, size and cheapness, were the themes of universal admiration. Eked out by apple-sauce and mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient dinner for the whole family; indeed, as Mrs. Cratchit said with great delight (surveying one small atom of a bone upon the dish), they hadn't ate it all at last!" – A Christmas Carol
Everyone in the Christmas-celebrating world has seen at least one version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. Whether he's played by Alastair Sim, Mickey Mouse, or Kermit, Bob Cratchit has the tastiest-sounding Christmas meal of any Christmas story: roast goose (the roast beast being a close second). Upon seeing it on the spit, the first thing one thinks is "That looks ever so delicious!" The second thing is "Who the heck eats goose on Christmas?"
Germans, that's who. That's right; goose is more likely to be found in Germany than in jolly ol' England. In Germany, roast goose is called Gänsebraten. It is traditionally stuffed with onions, chestnuts, and apples; and it is seasoned with salt, pepper, marjoram, and barely much else. It may be topped with goose or cranberry gravy or red cabbage.
Although Baltimore houses plenty of the descendants of German immigrants (myself included), finding German food out is difficult. There's pretty much Eichenkranz in Highlandtown, and that's about it, save maybe a few restaurants that may include sauerkraut or bratwurst on their menu.So if you want German food, either visit your friend Fritz or make it yourself. One can find an 8-pound (standard size) frozen goose at the local Safeway in Canton. Another place certain to carry it is H-Mart in Catonsville, where you can find everything from frog legs to cow bile. It also helps that duck is also popular in Catonese food, which makes it even more likely to be there since H-Mart specializes in Asian groceries.
There are sure to be many websites with Gänsebraten recipes, but the website for Schiltz Goose Farms has compiled dozens of recipes from all over, so there is sure to be few gems there. Be just like Bob Cratchit with the Dickens Style goose recipe. If you want authentic German goose, check out Travels through Germany.

Dream-Land Isolation Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (verse)
Quote #1
By a route obscure and lonely, (line 1)
Poe emphasizes the feeling of loneliness almost as much as he does the sense of sadness. They're obviously related, too. The speaker of the poem is sad because he's alone. In a way, there's nothing that's lonelier than a dream. We always dream by ourselves, so it's no surprise that the speaker thinks the road to the dream world is lonely.
Quote #2
Their lone waters— lone and dead,— (line 18)
It's a little tough to imagine how water can be lonely. Still, you can sort of picture a cold, isolated ocean, right? That's what we get from this line – an image of a sea that's so barren and cold that it looks like it would be lonely. Of course it's a lot easier to see that when you don't feel that great. Just like the whole world can look sad when you are sad, it's pretty easy to make even an ocean look lonely when you feel alone. Our speaker looks out at the world, and sees a version of what's happening in his head.
Quote #3
Shrouded forms that start and sigh
As they pass the wanderer by— (lines 35-6)
These are the ghosts of the dead, and even though they are sort of like characters in the poem, we never find out who they are or hear them speak. In the end, all the phantoms, ghouls and other critters in the poem just pass through, and leave the speaker alone and lonely.

Highest paid occupations, November 2004
November 10, 2005
The management and legal occupational groups were the two highest paying of the 22 major occupational groups in November 2004.
In both of these occupational groups, more than 30 percent of workers earned $43.75 or more per hour. Among management occupations, 36.4 percent of employees earned $43.75 or more per hour. In legal occupations, the corresponding number was 32.3 percent. In contrast, only about 1 percent of employees in either of these occupational groups earned less than $8.50 per hour.
As a group, 11.8 percent of employees in healthcare practitioner and technical occupations earned at least $43.75 per hour. Yet certain healthcare practitioner and technical occupations, such as specialist physicians and dentists, accounted for 12 out of the 14 highest-paying detailed occupations in November 2004.
These data are from the Occupational Employment Statistics program. To learn more about occupational earnings and employment, see Occupational Employment and Wages, November 2004 (PDF) (TXT), news release 05-2145. An employee with hourly earnings of $43.75 would have annual earnings of $91,000, assuming he or she is paid for a "year-round full-time" schedule of 2,080 hours.

A Knight to remember
Ojai Film Festival puts spotlight on Oscar-winning actress
By Tim Pompey 11/07/2013
Late fall in Ojai means it's time for the Ojai Film Festival, scheduled this year to run from Nov. 7 through Nov. 14. With 51 films chosen for competition, artistic director Steve Grumette marvels at how the technology and the films themselves keep getting better.
"Our reputation among filmmakers is increasing far and wide," he said. "As a result, the quality of films has improved. We love the idea that people can come and see films that they would never be able to see elsewhere."
The free kickoff featuring a Disney nature film called Wings of Life (2011) happens at the Libbey Bowl on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m. Narrated by Meryl Streep, this intimate and unprecedented look at butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, bats and flowers is a celebration of life, as a third of the world's food supply depends on these incredible, and increasingly threatened, creatures. Filmgoers are encouraged to bring a blanket.
As usual, there are many genres of film that will be featured. Highlights this year include:
Families are Forever (2013): The real-life experience of a Mormon family coming to terms with a son's homosexuality. This documentary chronicles parents Tom and Wendy's struggle to accept and support their son Jordan while maintaining their religious convictions.
Gore Vidal: The United States of Amnesia (2013): Celebrated novelist, essayist and activist Gore Vidal's life is explored, including his notorious debates with William F. Buckley and his acid and witty commentaries on the state of American public policy.
The Bright Side (2013): Hazel Kelly and George Lombard dream of making it big on the silver screen. On the eve of WWII, these star-crossed lovers sing and dance their way through a series of misadventures to find true love.
At Middleton (2013): Driven Audrey wants nothing more than to study linguistics at Middleton. When she and her free-spirited mother arrive at Middleton for the campus tour, they share a life-altering encounter with a straight-laced heart surgeon and his disaffected son.
Luminaris (2011): Boasting a surreal setting and a whimsical plot, this film celebrates the triumph of a common man over the mechanized world of assembly line production.
In addition to the films, special recognition will go this year to cinematographer Dean Semler, who won an Academy Award for Dancing with Wolves (1990); and to actress Shirley Knight, nominated for two Academy Awards, as best supporting actress for The Dark at the Top of the Stairs (1960) and Sweet Bird of Youth (1962). She also won both a Golden Globe and an Emmy Award as best supporting actress for her role in the film Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995).
Knight will be receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the festival. A free screening of the film Rain People (1969), directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Knight and James Caan, is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 10, 2 p.m., at the Ojai Arts Center. Knight will appear for a Q&A session following the premiere of her new film Redwood Highway, starring Danforth Comins and Catherine E. Coulson. It will be shown at the Ojai Playhouse Theater on Friday, Nov. 8, at 8 p.m.
In addition to its workshops on screenwriting, voiceover and makeup, the festival will continue to encourage environmental filmmaking by featuring the film series launched last year called Focus Earth. For executive director Jamie Fleming, this series offers a chance to explore environmental themes with a more diverse audience. As he notes: "It's an opportunity to expose a broader range of people to topics that give them a chance to think about new ideas and the way they live and deal with their environment."

TC TO ÉMILE MONTÉGUT ; 15 October 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18581015-TC-EM-01; CL 34: 217-218
Chelsea, 15 Oct., 1858.
My dear Sir,
Owing to perverse accidents, the foolish blame of which is my own chiefly, I have not fairly got your letter till this morning! I beg you excuse my seeming neglects.As to the Frederick, unluckily (in one sense) there is not a copy of it left, for some time past. The edition went away "in a week"—the bookseller reports—and not till he get a second printed, which he is urging forward with all his might, can I have the pleasure of fulfilling your request1—Tauchnitz's reprint (at Leipzig), or the better part of it, I see, is already in circulation; 3 little volumes out, the other two soon coming: no doubt it is at Galignani's2 as elsewhere; and if you are very pressing, that will be a resource.
Lewes is in Germany this good while, I know not specially where. Mr Pigott3 I do not personally know, nor anything about The trader,4 in late times, but I will take the earliest opportunity of sending your message in some sure way. The sea-shore is solacing and wholesome to nervous people, physically, morally: one of my own vain dreams has always been that of getting to reside in some solitary place, within sound of its everlasting voice and in the sphere of its grand busities. Could not you contrive more frequently to get back thither, and carry on your work there?5
I have still lying ahead a mass of dreary chaotic labour, which, in my now state of bodily strenght6 and spiritual, is enough to make me shudder! I mean to get thro' it, if I can, and then rest forever.
Your Essays7 are circulating with good acceptance; I found excellent reading in that little volume.
Yours allways truly /

About Bill Dellinger
This meet is named for legendary University of Oregon men's track and field coach Bill Dellinger. The Springfield, Oregon, native and two-time NCAA champion for the Ducks was a three-time Olympian, the 1964 Olympic bronze medalist at 5,000 meters, and holder of two world indoor and six American records. In cross country, he took pride in the fact that he never lost a race as a high school, college or post-collegiate athlete. As the Oregon men's cross country head coach from 1968-1998, Dellinger guided the Ducks to four NCAA team titles and 12 top-three NCAA finishes. Athletes under his mentorship received 45 cross country All-America honors.

Honduras is one of the large countries of Central America whose weather and climate are described in more detail on the Panama pages. It is situated between 13° and 16°N, between Nicaragua to the south and Guatemala to the north.
It has a western border with El Salvador and a very short coastline on the Pacific. In size it is similar to Pennsylvania and a little smaller than England. Much of the country is mountainous and the only extensive lowland is in the extreme east.
Reliable climatic data for Honduras is sparse. The table for Tegucigalpa is representative of the hilly country of the tierra templada, where there is a larger daily temperature range and cooler nights than is found in the low-lying tierra caliente.
The Caribbean coast of Honduras mostly faces north and has a much lower annual rainfall than Nicaragua to the south or Belize to the north. It appears that annual rainfall here is no more than on the Pacific shore and, unusually for this region, most rain falls in the winter period of low sun. At this time the northeast trade winds are blowing more directly onshore.

And Then…
Hi, Lesley. I had decided to let my MORE subscription lapse and then I received my May issue. Your column and Jamie Lee Curtis's article are what changed my mind.
Celeste Rubanick
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
About three weeks ago I was complaining to my husband for the 100th time of what I was sure were side effects of the antidepressants I had been on for years. A few days later I picked up a copy of More and read "Learning to Trust Myself" by Leslie Egnuss. I showed it to my husband saying, "This is me!" I went to the doctor who ordered an MRI and I did indeed have multiple sclerosis! I am so grateful for this article. I can now get appropriate treatment and hopefully feel better. Thank you so much!

She Did the Best She Could
Lesley, Thank you for your "editor's letter" of May 2010! I have been a More reader since its onset. I'm now a semi retired 66 year old teacher working in retail at Talbots a few days a week. I am writing because your letter struck such a chord with me. At 11 years old in 1954, my mother suffered a complete mental breakdown after learning her life savings had been misspent by my stepfather. After 6 months of hospitalization and shock treatments, she came home a strange and different person unlike the one I had previously known. Like you, I adapted in my own way of dealing with my "weird" mother, often feeling ashamed and embarrassed by it all. Fortunately, I was able to go to college and create my own family with a man from a "perfect" family. My life has been quite blessed and different from my mother's, with two lovely daughters, 7 grandsons and a beautiful adopted granddaughter from Guatemala. Mental illness has still plagued my life, though, with my brother committing suicide at 40. Without the help of therapy and a deep religious faith and a loving husband, I don't know how I would have been able to cope with it all. Thank you for sharing. It helps so very much to know there are others with a similar story, and I too realize my mother "did the best she could."

Catechism of the Catholic Church
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC)was promulgated by John Paul II on October 11, 1992 - the thirtieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council. This catechism, which is only the second catechism written by the Church, was born out of the documents of Vatican II and builds on the Church's first catechism written after the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century.
• The Profession of Faith – The Creed (What We Believe)
• The Celebration of the Christian Mystery – Liturgy and Sacraments (How We Celebrate)
• Life in Christ – Christian Morality (How We Live)
• Christian Prayer – A Personal Relationship with God (How We Pray)
The goal of the Catechism is to guide, assist and enliven catechesis (teaching) which aims to put "people …in communion… with Jesus Christ" because "only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity" (CCC 426). At the center or "heart" of this catechesis of the truth and beauty of the Catholic faith is a Person – Jesus Christ – "who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever" (ibid). Man was created by God and for God and, thus, every person's heart was given an innate desire for truth and happiness that can only be satisfied by God Himself (CCC 27). Man is created to know, love and serve God, and to live in communion with Him in this world and throughout eternity (CCC 28, 31, 44, 45). Because God is Love, all the doctrine and teachings of the Church have the love of God and the love of neighbor as their final end – all the teachings of the Church are at the service of charity – the "love that never ends" (cf. Jn 13:1) seen in Christ's sacrifice on the Cross for man's salvation (CCC 25).

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has written their own local catechism called the United States Catholic Catechism for Adults (USCCA). This catechism is based on the official 1992 Catechism of the Catholic Church, but is written to address the culture and the needs of the American Catholic community. It retains the structure of the four pillars of the faith, and each chapter begins with the story of a saint and contains points for meditation and questions for discussion.

If I'm understanding previous OpenVZ discussions correctly, the template is basically a master tar.gz archive, which is unpacked to form the container's 'root filesystem' ? But where does 'config' fit into this. For the filesystem stuff, for LXC we've got a section under <devices> whcih looks like <filesystem type="mount"> <source dir='/some/path'/> <target dir='/'/> </filessytem> Which says 'make /some/path be the root filesystem, using a bind mount'. I could imagine representing the idea of a template with a slight variation like <filesystem type="template"> <source name="template name"/> <target dir='/'/> </filesystem> > For tag domain/devices/disk: > need to add "diskspace" > desirable "diskinodes" - it is optional because of "disknodes" are over > very rarely. Does OpenVZ actually attach disks to containers ? I thought it was just filesystem level virtualization, not actual block devices in the guest ? Anyway, this seems like quota management to me, so perhaps adding a <quota type="size" max="10000"/> And <quota type="inodes" max="100"/> > For tag domain/devices/interface: > How to describe, if want to add ip addresses for routing network? We'll probably want todo something based on <interface type='ethernet' which is a generic catch all config. Does OpenVZ support bridging, or NAT for containers ? > Also, OpenVZ may move network adapter to VM (for example, eth1), adapter > becomes inaccessible on harware node. How to describe it? Is it > ethernet type? The latter case is basically hardware device assignment. This isn't something we currently have a way to represent in libvirt, but we certainly need something. I don't think it belongs in the <interface> tag though - for device passthrough we want something more generic, allowing specification of devices based on subsystem, or class. eg Based on subsystem naming, to pass through PCI network card with PCI device number 00:1d.2 <host subsystem='pci' dev='00:1d.2'/> Or based on class specific naming <host class='network' dev='eth1'/> Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :|

In what was anticipated as a very emotional and revealing interview with British interviewer Sir Michael Parkinson, five-time Olympic gold medalist Ian Thorpe has reportedly confirmed that he is gay. According to the Sunday Telegraph, the Australian Olympic hero revealed his sexuality in a tell-all interview set to air on Australian television on Sunday night.
The admission comes after years of denying rumors regarding his sexuality. Parkinson described the interview as "one of the best" he has ever conducted because of the fascination he developed for the celebrated Australian athlete, who he said before the interview, intrigued him because of his disconnect from the celebrity life. It was also Thorpe's bravery in making a full admission to being gay and sharing his personal struggle with depression.
The 31-year-old previously denied the gay rumors and addressed his feelings about people making assumptions about his personal life in his autobiography "This Is Me." In the book, published in 2012, Thorpe wrote, "The thing that I find hurtful about it is that people are questioning my integrity and what I say. That's the only part I find hurtful, that this is something I would be embarrassed about and that I would hide."
Thorpe is obviously not embarrassed about the person he is today and has had to come a long way to reach a destination in his life where he is internally happy. He has defeated depression and opened up to the world about what bleeds inside his heart. Parkinson felt the interview was rewarding beyond Thorpe's revelation that he is gay. He said after the interview, "I think his sexuality is no one's business but his own. But I think it's one of the best interviews I have ever done in terms of (Thorpe) talking about depression and things like that."
The former Olympic swimmer is just the latest athlete and public figure to come out as gay over the last few years. By now, it's certainly not as big of a deal as it was years ago, but it is still scary for someone in Thorpe's position who is just seeking acceptance. Another openly gay Australian Olympic athlete, Matthew Mitcham, knows the challenges Thorpe has been through and may still have to face. The former diver is hoping the revelation gives Thorpe internal peace and brings about respect from the public.
Mitcham said, "I really hope this process gives him some peace and that the media and the public give him the same respect and the same overwhelming support I received in 2008. The Australian public and media have a really wonderful opportunity to set an example for kids who are in Ian's position." Ian Thorpe is now on a growing list of international athletes who have come out publicly as gay.

When many expected the dollar to continue to depreciate over the foreseeable future, a few experts, notably Christian Broda, predicted the dollar could strengthen in 2010, if the Federal Reserve exited quantitative easing (QE). This was contingent on the US economy enjoying a strong rebound. The exit never happened. The economy was anemic, but the dollar still strengthened. Why were so many pessimists about the US dollar so wrong?
Now that the Federal Reserve may actually exit QE, the natural conclusion is the dollar should strengthen even further. This is the same conclusion many arrived at in 2010, but the underlying fundamentals are still the same. Japan is still doing QE and Europe has been opening up the possibility in recent weeks. The difference is that the US economy is much stronger than in 2010, so it would seem wise to keep your investment in the US.
When the Fed exits, usually there is trouble in EM and many are now thinking twice about following the conventional wisdom emerging markets (EM) are the place to put your money. Conventional wisdom following the monetary collapse of 2008 has proven to be suspect at best. The hesitation to dump US dollars for EM currencies is prudent.
In 2009, most industry professionals feared the inevitable end to so much money printing would be a spike in inflation. This would cause a rise in the price of gold and a steep decline in the strength of the US dollar. With the Fed pumping trillions of dollars into the economy how could there be any other outcome?
Many celebrities and financial experts in 2009 predicted the US economy would be racked by high inflation when the inevitable recovery began. Authorities as diverse as Harvard historian, Niall Ferguson, and famous hedge fund investor John Paulson were openly stating the only possible outcome from so much QE would be massive inflation. Indeed Professor Ferguson wondered if the U.S. was becoming Argentina, so racked by inflation it would cripple any recovery. The Wall Street Journal suggested, as the American economy improved, the risk of inflation would skyrocket.
There were the experts that were on the price deflation side. The Nobel Prize-winning Op-Ed (opposite the editorial page) columnist Paul Krugman wrote: "And what these measures show is an ongoing process of disinflation that could, in not too long, turn into outright deflation… Japan here we come". This theory was widely publicized by the New York Times and others who used the threat of deflation to justify the continuance of QE policies in recent years.
What happened? Why are we not paying for our daily fix of coffee with newly minted $50 and $100 dollar bills? Why are US consumers unable to buy the same "cup of joe" for a quarter? If all the experts were wrong, who is right?
Hindsight has a way to weed out the extreme views and find those that offer a more moderate, and accurate tone. Among those not believing the sky was falling back in 2009 was Christian Broda, now a managing director at a $12bn hedge fund and Ethan Harris, Chief Economist at BoFa. Their paper speculated the then-current market forces would conspire to make low inflation the outcome for a long period. Time it seems has declared their view the winner as inflation has remained under their prediction of 5% for the past 4 years. If you had followed their advice, you might not be sitting on piles of $1800 an ounce of gold.
What does this mean for FX markets if the US dollar remains strong? If the Fed exits QE while others such as Japan and Europe continue to inflate their economies will the US dollar head to unchartered highs? Will there be a backlash as exports from the US are unable to compete with lower priced markets?
The key to this question resides in how quickly the Fed will taper. This is the point at which the Federal Reserve reduces its $85 billion monthly purchases of Treasuries and MBS and is considered the crucial first step before the support ends and is eventually reversed. Once the Fed decides to taper its purchases, the effect on FX markets will become apparent. Only then can the opinions of experts on both side of the inflationary divide be judged.
What the past 4 years of prognostications has shown is those who take extreme views are often using past historical declines to predict future events. This year many are calling for a measured taper from the Fed and a continued strong US dollar as the economy improves. Taking a moderate position in 2014 could be the safest. Moderation is the key to prosperity; it certainly is according to Christian Broda.

The saying "you get what you pay for" doesn't ALWAYS hold true when it comes to mascara. As a true lover of all that is beauty related, I couldn't help but be curious about the "promise" of false lashes in a tube from the Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies. I set out this weekend determined to give this new mascara a try. As I was walking down the makeup aisle the bright, flirty colors of the new Maybelline mascara instantly caught my eye. I grabbed my tube of "luxe lashes" and headed for home to try out my new purchase.
I found the Maybelline Volum' Express The Falsies was very easy to apply. I had no clumping and the "spoon brush" did a great job at coating every single, teeny, tiny lash, even the ones I never knew I had, with mascara. My lashline looked full, thick and sexy. Now, did the MAYBELLINE Volum' Express The Falsies give me the same luxe lahsline that I get from wearing false lashes? No, I really don't think that this is possible. But it did do a great job at improving and enhancing what I naturally had. So, if you are looking for a good mascara that will create a fuller, thicker looking fringe that won't break your "beauty bank" then check out the new Maybelline Volume Express The Falsies. Please let me know what you think. Till then! B.
Why You'll Love It (Maybelline.com)
"1.Patented Spoon brush and Kera-fiber formula instantly build 8x more volume without clumping".
"2.Unique flexible wand helps to lift and separate lashes to provide the look of 300% more lashes".
"3.Ophthalmologist tested"
For Best Results
"Hold brush with spoon side against lashes and sweep from root to tip to fill in gaps and coat each lash with Kera-fiber formula. Repeat until false lash look is achieved. Do not let dry between coats"

Rail fares minister under fire over travel expenses
09:06 06 January 2013
Conservative cabinet minister Simon Burns is under fire after it emerged he takes a chauffeur driven car to work in London rather than take the train.
According to the Mail on Sunday, the MP travels the 35 miles between his Essex home and Westminster using an £80,000-a-year departmental car service.
The disclosure comes just days after inflation-busting average rises of 4.2 per cent for regulated rail fares, which include season tickets, took effect for passengers.
A spokesman for passengers' campaign group Railfuture told the newspaper: "It would be nice if the person who is setting these fare rises was also experiencing some of the congestion and overcrowding endured by ordinary, hard-pressed travellers."
Mr Burns reportedly defended his regular use of the Department for Transport pool car by saying: "I have given up my second home in London and I commute to and from work carrying classified papers which I work on during my journey."
Cabinet Office officials confirmed last night that there were no restrictions on ministers taking the "red boxes" that contain their government papers on public transport.
Transport minister Stephen Hammond revealed details about the department's travel arrangements in parliamentary documents.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said non-classified documents could be taken on public transport.
She added: "The Ministerial Code provides for ministers to use a government car for home-to-office travel when working on classified papers."
A DfT spokesman said: "The Minister of State does not have a home in London but uses his commute to work on official papers and so travels in a car provided by the government Car Service for security reasons.
"The Ministerial Code permits ministers to use official cars for home-to-office journeys within a reasonable distance of London when they are working on classified papers."

Check out stars who had it all, lost it all and got it back!
Vanessa Williams was on top of the world in 1983, when she became the first African American to be crowned Miss America. She had a hard fall, though; when nude photos of Williams surfaced, she was forced to give up her title amidst the scandal. "The incident was a part of my life that was pretty devastating," she has said. "But in the context of my whole life, I got over it."
Today, she's having the last laugh. Not only did Williams find success as a singer (Her 1991 album The Comfort Zone went triple-platinum) but she's also had a solid career as a television actress, first on Ugly Betty and currently on Desperate Housewives.
Anyone who publishes a memoir titled Little Girl Lost at the ripe of old age of 15 probably hasn't had the easiest time of it. That's true for Drew Barrymore, who became a worldwide star at age seven with the release of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. She went on to struggle publicly with drugs and alcohol, enduring two stints in rehab and a suicide attempt by the time she was 14. Hard to believe that, today, Barrymore is one of Hollywood's most successful actresses and (with her company Flower Films) producers. In 2009, she won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of "Little Edie" Beale in Grey Gardens.
Winona Ryder was thought to be one of the most promising young actresses of her generation. Star-making roles in cult classics such as Beetlejuice, Heathers, and Reality Bites brought her fame, while turns in Martin Scorsese's The Age of Innocence and 1994's Little Women earned her Oscar noms. Things took a turn for the strange, however, when Ryder was arrested in a 2001 shoplifting incident at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills.
An embarrassing trial (remember the "Free Winona" tee-shirts?) and four-year hiatus from acting followed. But Ryder more than put herself back on the radar with a role as an aging ballerina in 2010's Black Swan. She also has a part in Frankenweenie, a film by director Tim Burton, out in March 2012.
He showed early promise in films such as Less Than Zero and Chaplin, but Robert Downey Jr. became more known as a notorious party boy and drug addict after a series of arrests in the 1990s. "It's like I've got a shotgun in my mouth with my finger on the trigger, and I like the taste of the gun metal," he famously told a judge in 1999.
After a court-ordered drug treatment program, Downey got sober and Hollywood gave him another chance. He became A-list once again with 2007's Ironman and 2009's Sherlock Holmes and is now expecting a baby with wife Susan Levin.
Romances with Johnny Depp and Matthew Broderick. A little hit movie called Dirty Dancing alongside Patrick Swayze. Actress Jennifer Grey had it made in the 1980s! But a tragic car crash while vacationing with Broderick in Ireland left her with chronic back pain and a bad nose job rendered her virtually unrecognizable by the early 1990s ("I went in the operating room a celebrity and came out anonymous" she has said. "It was like being in a witness protection program or being invisible."
Hollywood stopped calling and Grey's career didn't recover until 2010 when she proved that she still couldn't be put in a corner by claiming the top prize on Dancing with the Stars at age 50.
Just 10 days after winning an Oscar for The Blind Side, Bullock's nearly five-year marriage to motorcycle mogul Jesse James unraveled in a humiliatingly public fashion (remember Michelle "Bombshell" McGee?) as his numerous affairs came to light. (This, after she'd publicly thanked him for "having [her] back"!)
A devastated Bullock quietly retreated to her home in Austin, Texas. But she re-merged just six weeks later, beaming alongside her new adopted son, Louis, on the cover of People. The scandal also boosted public goodwill for Bullock, who is now ranked as the highest-paid actress of all time.
She was still riding high on her Oscar-winning role in 2006's Dreamgirls when singer and actress Jennifer Hudson suffered a horrific loss. In late 2008, Hudson's beloved mother, brother, and seven-year-old nephew were murdered in her hometown of Chicago. She left the spotlight, postponing the release of her debut record until the following year.
Today, Hudson has successfully resumed her career and also found love, marrying, and giving birth to a son named David in 2009. Recently, she lost a stunning 80 pounds on Weight Watchers and a memoir is in the works.
Mickey Rourke was the toast of Tinseltown in the '80s, winning acclaim for his roles in Diner, 9 1/2 Weeks and Barfly. But, thanks to his hot temper and substance abuse problems, he soon earned a reputation as difficult. He abruptly quit acting for boxing in the 1990s and became nearly unrecognizable thanks to facial injuries and subsequent reconstructive surgeries. After the flameout of a tumultuous marriage to model Carre Otis and the end of his boxing career, Rourke was nearly broke.
He launched an unlikely Hollywood comeback in 2008, garnering raves for his role as a down-on-his-luck fighter in The Wrestler. Who does he thank for the change of fortune? "I'd like to thank all my dogs," Rourke said on winning a Golden Globe in 2009. " … because sometimes when a man's alone, that's all you got is your dog."
Was anyone else, um, concerned in 2007 when Britney Spears shaved her head bald, started bashing car windows with an umbrella, and was checking in and out of treatment facilities? The pop star admitted at the time, "I hit rock bottom." Custody of her two young sons was transferred to Spears's ex, Kevin Federline and the courts later gave Spears's dad, Jamie, control of her empire.
Spears began a slow comeback in 2008, culminating with her 2011 record Femme Fatale and accompanying world tour. Today, she seems to have found stability with boyfriend Jason Trawick.
The force behind such mega-hits as "Un-break my Heart" and "Breathe Again," Toni Braxton was forced to file for bankruptcy in 2007. She followed that with more hit records, but Braxton still couldn't manage her money. In 2010, she filed for bankruptcy one again, reportedly owing up to $50 million.
Braxton's luck improved in 2011, when her reality show Braxton Family Values was picked up and she signed a new record deal.
The adopted daughter of Lionel Richie found fame on the 2003 hit The Simple Life (alongside then-pal Paris Hilton), but real drama followed in the form of DUI arrests and a widely-rumored eating disorder.
These days, however, Richie seems to have left her wild ways behind and is now better known as a fashion designer, wife to Joel Madden, and mom to their kids, Harlow and Sparrow. She will next be seen as a mentor on the upcoming TV show Fashion Star.
The role of Karen in 1991's Goodfellas made her a star, but a lengthy custody battle with ex-boyfriend Harvey Keitel left her bankrupt by 1999. ''It was horrifying and embarrassing: getting foreclosure notices; lawyers knocking on your door wanting their money and no work to be found,'' she has said. ''It was basically, who do you pay at the end of the month? You have to pay the mortgage. You have to pay the taxes, food and electricity and lawyers.''
But that all changed when Bracco was cast in the career-making role of Dr. Jennifer Melfi on HBO's The Sopranos. Today, she's debt-free and appears often on the hit show Rizzoli and Isles.
In 2004, domestic doyenne Martha Stewart was sent to federal prison after being convicted of lying to investigators about a stock sale. Few thought the empire Stewart had spent decades building could survive the blow ("The company she leaves behind will be lucky to survive as even a shadow of its former self," one columnist noted.)
But she proved the naysayers wrong. Re-emerging in 2005, Stewart—who said her nickname in prison had been "M.Diddy"—went immediately back to work on her still-successful eponomyous magazine and TV show; she recently released her 75th cookbook.
As Rebecca Howe on Cheers, Kirstie Alley won an Emmy and a Golden Globe and later starred on the successful sitcom Veronica's Closet. But a battle with her weight led to a loss of roles. In 2005, she created and starred in the series Fat Actress, playing herself, but the show was canceled after just seven episodes. That same year, she joined Jenny Craig and dropped 75 pounds—becoming the brand's pitch woman—only to gain it all back. Alley didn't really find the spotlight again until 2011, when she became a fan favorite on Dancing with the Stars.

During the last two to three decades, a large body of work has revealed the molecular basis of many human disorders, including retinal and vitreoretinal degenerations and dysfunctions. Although belonging to the group of orphan diseases, they affect probably more than two million people worldwide. Most excitingly, treatment of a particular form of congenital retinal degeneration is now possible. A major advantage for treatment is the unique structure and accessibility of the eye and its different components, including the vitreous and retina. Knowledge of the many different eye diseases affecting retinal structure and function (night and color blindness, retinitis pigmentosa, cone and cone rod dystrophies, photoreceptor dysfunctions, as well as vitreoretinal traits) is critical for future therapeutic development. We have attempted to present a comprehensive picture of these disorders, including clinical, genetic and molecular information. The structural organization of the review leads the reader through non-syndromic and syndromic forms of (i) rod dominated diseases, (ii) cone dominated diseases, (iii) generalized retinal degenerations and (iv) vitreoretinal disorders, caused by mutations in more than 165 genes. Clinical variability and genetic heterogeneity have an important impact on genetic testing and counselling of affected families. As phenotypes do not always correlate with the respective genotypes, it is of utmost importance that clinicians, geneticists, counsellors, diagnostic laboratories and basic researchers understand the relationships between phenotypic manifestations and specific genes, as well as mutations and pathophysiologic mechanisms. We discuss future perspectives.

ANAHEIM – Long before high school quarterbacks started turning their football games into personal "Madden" simulations, dynamic running backs flourished as the heart and soul of the offense.
With the list of sophisticated aerial attacks increasing yearly, Katella has shown that a steady run game can be just as lethal.
The Knights (5-2, 2-0) amassed 447 yards on the ground, split between nine ballcarriers, and cruised to a 34-0 Orange League victory over Santa Ana Valley on Thursday night at Western High.
"I was pleased with the way our line blocked tonight," Katella coach Fred DiPalma said. "Obviously TJ (Ashmeade) and Ricky (Cobian) are great backs, but credit the line. They did a great job up front."
Ashmeade, who ran for 216 yards last week, finished with 255 yards on 29 carries. Cobian added 103 on 11 carries and a score.
"Once again my offensive line came out and played great," Ashmeade said.
"All I had to do was run through the holes they made for me.
"I just wanted to set the tone for the offense and get the whole team involved."
After turning away Santa Ana Valley (4-3, 1-1) on the game's opening possession, Katella used five plays of more than 10 yards to sustain an 89-yard drive that culminated in a 7-yard TD run by Ben Cobb.
A possession after the Knights lost a fumble near the goal line, Cobian capped a quick five-play drive with a 2-yard TD run.
Katella then halted consecutive Falcons drives with interceptions — one each by Joseph Inda and Joseph Rivera — and took a three-score lead late in the first half.
"I told the kids that if they wanted to win a league championship, that was the team to go through," DiPalma said of Santa Ana Valley. "Being 2-0 is huge for our confidence.
"Our kids now have to continue to be consistent and play well, then we'll see what happens."
Alex Hernandez finished with 76 yards rushing for the Falcons.

Dear all, here is a question that has been bothering me. It goes without saying that I would appreciate any help in answering it.
Let {I_k} be a countable sequence of two sided closed ideals in a C*-algebra (ring) and J be a two sided closed ideal in the same C*-algebra (ring). Then "intersection of {I_k + J} = (intersection of {I_k}) + J"
If needed we can relax the above hypothesis by assuming that {I_k}'s and J are prime ideals.
Thanks in advance, Audrey Kirilova.

Late Night Wars Heat Up as Jimmy Kimmel Gets New Time Slot
ABC plans to move "Jimmy Kimmel Live" up to the 11:35 p.m. time slot starting in Jan. 8, swapping out "Nightline," which will start at a new time of 12:35 a.m.
The change will mean Kimmel's show will air opposite longtime late-night programs "Late Show With David Letterman" on CBS and "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno'" on NBC.
The switch also comes amid NBC's decision to lay off about two dozen staffers from "The Tonight Show." Leno, who took a salary cut to save other jobs, joked about the cuts and made digs at NBC and parent company Comcast during his monologue last night. He wasted no time in addressing the news, greeting his audience with "Welcome to the Tonight Show, or as Comcast calls us, 'The Expendables.'"
"We've consistently been No. 1 in the ratings," he continued, "and if you know anything about our network, that kind of thing is frowned upon."
