text: SGPP Twin Cities Campus Commencement Address Delivered June 7, 2009 in Minneapolis Brother William Mann, FSC President Introduction As some of you know, my work as a leader of the Brother of the Christian Schools – prior to coming last year to Saint Mary's – required that I travel internationally and allowed me many and diverse experiences. I had gotten to the point in life where I, more or less, had begun to expect the unexpected. However, never had I imagined the surprise of being invited to be the President of this university and never could I have imagined the many ways in which this past year required that I stretch and grow. I stand before you after one year as President with a greater appreciation of the contribution our university makes in the lives of students and society and with a profound admiration for the faculties and staffs with whom I am privileged to work and collaborate. A Troubled Youngster Named Calvin Now I'd like to tell you a story. Not so long ago, I was, as part of that former job as a leader of the Brothers, touring a school much as I have regularly – all throughout the year – toured our own Saint Mary's campuses both here and in Winona. On that visit a few years ago, I met a troubled youngster named Calvin, 11 years old, attending a school for the emotionally, behaviorally and academically challenged. The young teacher whose classroom I was visiting introduced all of the youngsters to me (there were about a dozen), but he accidentally skipped over Calvin. I later learned that Calvin was a second generation student at this school, where his young father had also previously struggled with educational failure and emotional unrest. It was the look on Calvin's face when he was passed over that I will never forget. It was the look of a person ignored, left out, invisible … once again, inadvertently marginalized. When the teacher realized what he had done and tried to remedy his mistake, Calvin then chose to ignore us. It was as though he were saying, "If you didn't see me before, I also can pretend that you are not here now." I was reminded on that visit of John Baptist de La Salle, the 17th century Frenchman, who founded the Brothers of the Christian Schools and launched the movement that we now know as Lasallian education, a world-wide network of schools and universities of which Saint Mary's University is a significant part. I was reminded of this priest, De La Salle, who saw a whole social category passed over and excluded from having an education and who did something about it, who at about 30 years of age – having just finished the work of his master's and doctoral studies – really for the first time in his life saw the poor of his own city. His eyes and heart were opened to their plight, and he used the many personal resources at his disposal – primarily an engaging personality, a keen and disciplined intellect, and an excellent university formation and education – not to accrue wealth, comfort, or status for himself, but he used all of the gifts at his disposal to educate the children of the working class and especially to enhance the quality of life for the less fortunate of his great nation. This young boy Calvin remains an icon in my consciousness each time I enter another gathering of people, the majority of whom I do not know. He is a reminder about how easy it is in a crowd, a school, a grouping of students or families, a hospital or healthcare center, a professional or business setting, even today at this ceremony to see all, but yet to see few if any individual faces. He remains an inspiration to acknowledge each person gathered here as a holy presence and to recall that this quality of seeing and welcoming and knowing each precious individual is the key principle at the heart of the Lasallian ethos, which is the core of the educational mission of Saint Mary's University. Other Institutions That I Have Visited You could well imagine what it was like for me to have had the opportunity to visit schools and universities in many of the 82 countries in which the Lasallian educational network is situated; and I carry within me many and varied voices and memories of important stops along that journey. Meeting with students at Bethlehem University in Palestine, an institution opened by the Brothers at the direct invitation of Pope Paul VI because Palestinian Christians had no access to university education in their homeland. It is an oasis of learning in a war-torn land, a beacon of hope where the opportunity for employment and family well-being become a possibility, where a small bridge between religions is strengthened as the dream of peace with justice in the Holy Land is fostered and supported. Accompanying some young student teachers in Papua New Guinea to the Hohola Youth Development Centers in Port Moresby. These are a number of small early childhood literacy centers run by university teachers and their students, where classes are conducted on dirt floors and where young mothers hang through open windows struggling to follow lessons being given to their children because this is the first and only opportunity that they themselves have had to learn to read and write. Visiting the University of Saint La Salle in the Philippines where they've opened a Center that provides marginal rural rice farmers with micro-credit assistance and capacity building as entrepreneurs and driving in a van to its Bahay Pagasa Center. The House of Hope there gives adolescent delinquents a second chance. They live in safety and dignity, for the first time no longer locked up in an adult population of prisoners. Efforts are made to help these young people hope that there is an alternative to failure, self-destruction, and exploitation. The Lasallian Educational Vision As a student, the Brothers and my Lasallian educators communicated to me the message that I had great worth, that I was important and should be taken seriously, that I deserved respect, and that I could make a real difference in this world. That was a powerful lesson, such Good News, such a life-changing experience, that I cannot imagine not having spent my life – as an educator and a citizen – trying to communicate that same message to others. For this is who we are as Lasallians. This is, at its core, what Saint Mary's University is about. We strive to unleash the creative capacity of minds and to enkindle a passion in hearts. We strive to run good schools where students – both young and old – can be confident that they will be known and valued while receiving an excellent education. They know they will be treated as individuals and with respect while being formed to ethical lives of service and leadership. They will be welcomed into a community of belonging and belief while being prepared for civic responsibility and being formed to provide the kind of ethical and entrepreneurial leadership in the professional sphere for which the peoples of the nations dream. Now my hope for you today, graduates, is that your years with us at this university have been good years. I hope that during your time among us you were helped to lay claim to a great portion of the promise and the potential that is yours to share with the world, to glimpse that contribution that you as graduates can make for good, especially in these auspicious and tumultuous opening years of the 21st century, and to embrace with enthusiasm and generosity the opportunity you now have to help make the work-place and the home-place of this great nation a better place for all of God's children. Conclusion May you go forth from this ceremony today, then, with eyes truly opened to the hopes and the needs of others and with hearts on fire to be the artisans of a just world order, one that treats others with reverence and dignity and that benefits the whole of the human family. As recipients of a Saint Mary's education – supported and held within the loving embrace of your families and friends, prepared by your professors and your experiences at Saint Mary's – go out there to embrace with both hands and a full heart the destiny that awaits you. Go out into the world and really make a positive difference. Once again, congratulations! God bless you! Good luck!

Rumors that Phaedra Parks is divorcing husband, Apollo Nida, has reached fever pitch as enough drama to sink a battleship unfolds on "Real Housewives of Atlanta." While nothing has been solidly confirmed in the divorce department for Parks and Nida, it's not looking good for the fiery couple.
According to E! News in a July 28 report, multiple sources tell them that their marriage is in trouble. One sources describes it as being on "very shaky ground right now." Phaedra is taking a little time off to focus on family. As TMZ reports, the "southern belle" of "RHOA" isn't going anywhere. It's unknown what exactly she's doing, it's just evident she's using the time for family issues. Could she be filing divorce papers and the drama won't be shown until the show airs late Fall?
A source tells E! News:
"Phaedra is trying to keep everything contained and protect her kids, which is why she's taking time off from the show. She does not want their ordeal shown on TV."
The sources believe that Nida is not on the same page as his wife.
"He has not been showing her the same respect. He's been filming a lot. He's been out and about and trying to be seen as much as possible before he goes to jail. Right now, he's not exactly sure when that will be so he's living it up while he can."
Clearly the two aren't seeing eye-to-eye on being discreet in their marital problems. Phaedra has kept quiet while Apollo is out getting all the exposure he can before serving his eight-year sentence on bank fraud and identity theft. He's "salty" over Phaedra not appearing at his sentencing and is bitter about her lack of support.
A source told Hollywood Life recently that Phaedra would have filed for divorce from Apollo a long time ago if they didn't have children, but the fact he's in serious trouble again might "push" her to do it this time.
Will Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida really get divorced?
"Real Housewives of Atlanta" season 7 airs this Fall on Bravo Sunday nights.

Can I Sue for Defamation of Character? -- Ontario, Canada.
I live in Ontario, Canada.
I graduated from high school last year, and just recently I found out that one of my old teachers has been saying things about me to her class while she is supposed to be teaching. This wasnt just a slip up either, it has been multiple times over the course of a few weeks. Things like "he's an *******" and "the most awful person Ive had to teach." And I dont think any of this is deserved because I honestly didnt do anything to her and I assumed we were getting along when she was my teacher. It isnt just me either, shes been saying things about other former students of hers too, they just havnt found out yet.
I will definitely be contacting the school board about this, but Im wondering if I can sue for defamation of character/ slander, or anything else?
And would the payoff from this be able to cover the legal fees?
I probably just sound like a kid thats pissed off at his teacher, but I am really offended by this and feel that what shes doing just isnt right.

re: Can I Sue for Defamation of Character? -- Ontario, Canada.
I wish to inform you that you may file a suit for defamation against teacher for defaming you. When the teacher had said anything against you to her students at that time there has been a communication by the person that has defamed you and your reputation has suffered. In this regard you may first give a notice of defamation and compensation. If teacher refuses to pay compensation then you can file a lawsuit. The amount of compensation will depend upon the words said about you, number of students present etc. The greater the damage to reputation the greater will be compensation.

re: Can I Sue for Defamation of Character? -- Ontario, Canada.
How does one prove how much their reputation has suffered? Because to be honest, most of the people she said things to were my friends anyways, so it really wouldnt have had any effect on them. I just want to sue on the grounds that she said this in the first place. Do I still have a case?

Re: Can I Sue for Defamation of Character? -- Ontario, Canada.
She can say anything she wants in opinion about you- such as "He's the worst student I've ever had to teach". That's her opinion. It's not untrue if that's how she feels about it.
You might want to take the matter up with her supervisor, the principal and the superintendent of the school. Her behavior is childish and unprofessional and does not comport with adult teaching standards.
No, you do not have a case. You cannot sue everyone who says something bad about you. If you did, you'd be in litigation virtually all your life. People are going to say bad things about you from time to time. It happens to all of us.

Re: Can I Sue for Defamation of Character? -- Ontario, Canada.
A statement is taken as defamatory if that statement imputing the reputation of a person. From the facts it could understand that she made a mere statement or may be her opinion. It seems it will not in any way impute your reputation. But if the teacher is trying to make this statement purposefully or with the intention to ridicule or defame you in front of others then you have a case for defamation. In other words if the teacher knowingly spread false statements that harm the reputation of the student then no doubt she can be found guilty of slander. But remember teacher's statements may be conditionally privileged if they are made as part of the disciplinary process or of the teacher's administrative responsibilities.

Re: Can I Sue for Defamation of Character? -- Ontario, Canada.
I have a question as well, I wrote a review of Dealership that pulled a fast one on me, and he just contacted me after seeing it online to claim he would like to sue me for defamation. The thing is, everything i stated in that review is true, "can he sue me? should I be pulling this down? Or should I be leaving this up so others do not go through the same issues we did with them?" Please see what I wrote below...
" ***** Motors is the Biggest Scam you will ever encounter with regards to dealerships. Please do not indulge the thought of giving it a chance with them because they don't check credit or they don't ask questions or if you don't have all you money together to buy a car for cash.
I'll explain why. I went to ******* Motors to buy a car. I found what I thought to be a reasonable car, and was advised not to mind the ON Check Engine light as it was a small issue. I proceeded to pay my extremely high deposit and then left.. A few months the Head Gasket blew and the motor was useless, only after a few months.. I returned to them and advised them of this. They told me the was a warranty for it and I would have to pay for half the charges. I was confused, they sold me a car that they knew would die only to have me pay the fees to repair it yet again. Anyway, I paid the fees roughly $2000, and the car was not even completely repaired. I missed a payment due to the large amount i just had to fork out to them. They immediately repossessed the car with no explanation. I was told i would not get the car back because I had defaulted on the contract. I then managed to talk to them and paid my past due and a month ahead. A few weeks down the line, that issue regarding the engine they did not fix came up and I returned the car to be fixed. I again had an issue with my bank account and their pymt did not go thru. Knowing what had happened in the past I immediately found some cash and took it to the dealer that very same day, so the payment was not actually late, but just did not pull out of my acct.
They told me they would not return the car to me because our agreement said they would get their payment thru the account. Another thing is before I made the payment they were completely fine with me coming in to make the payment. BUT as soon as I made it, they told me, they will not give me the car back unless I pay off the car now. With out notice, the owner ************* called the Police and advised them that we were harassing him and demanded they remove us from their property. He also advised us to never contact him or come to their premises without a lawyer or he will file harassment charges against us.
At this point we were completely stunned. This guy, "*********", had managed to get $2200 as a deposit, $1900 in payment towards the car, $400 that he claimed were bank charges due to NSF, $1800 for to repair (the repairs which were done in his own shop and not completed) a car we were told worked just fine and had passed inspection and was now demanding we pay the remaining $3600 in 15 days or he will not give us the car back or our money back.
This guy seems to be in the business of defrauding people, buy selling cars that he knows will die in a few months only to recover them back, keep your money and sell them off again to another person. Mind you this character, "************" has been jailed in USA for 10years for unknown charges, and has had civil matter disputes regarding his business, ******** Motors and has been take to court numerous times... Please also check the BBB Better Business Bureau.
Please be aware, this dealership is not one you want to be dealing with at all.."

Re: Can I Sue for Defamation of Character? -- Ontario, Canada.
I am wondering if I have a defamation of character case. I had attended a school for the deaf and recently found out that someone had spoken ill of me. I had just started going out with my fiancee and her family had been told of a previous relationship where the mother knew a former teacher of mine. They were told that my wife's family built a house for her on the property and that they did not want me living there. Although, I was married after that relationship where the mother knew my former teacher.
Here are the facts:
My wife's parents did not build a house for her on the property.
My relationship before I was married the girl's parents had a mobile home put on the property.
We live in such a small area that it could only be this teacher.
When I was asked by the girl's mother if I knew this teacher I said yes and she asked me what would this teacher say about me?
Although the teacher does not live in the area now she did before and is an alumni of the local high school, my old girlfriend showed me the teacher's mother's residence.
I was alarmed and incensed that a former teacher would have said anything at all considering that I am out of school and should not involve herself in my business unless she heard my side too.
I have been out of school 19 years when my fiancee's family told me what they were told. Although I just got this information last fall and I understand there is a two year benchmark and that you can't file after the two years is up.
My question is if I can't say when this information was shared can it be the first time I suspected something? or do you work from the comment made to me from this family member last fall?
Please let me know you thoughts. Thank you.

Re: Can I Sue for Defamation of Character? -- Ontario, Canada.
(Continued from previous thread above.) I failed to mention that this former teacher said that I had better be good to my fiancee is what was told to me by my fiancee's family. This is the reason that I am so alarmed by this. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you.

Re: Can I Sue for Defamation of Character? -- Ontario, Canada.
What are your monetary damages?
You cannot sue simply because someone's talking about you. You must prove to the court that your reputation - in the form of losing money - has suffered.
This means you must prove that you've lost money as a result.
Until you can prove that, you have no grounds for lawsuit.

[Printing-user-general] Print test -- nothing happens
David Nason <mailboxdpn-linuxprintingorg <at> yahoo.com>
Hello: I have installed SuSE 9.3 and want to use my HP LaserJet 5L parallel printer. This same printer worked perfectly with the same computer under SuSE 9.1. But with 9.3, Yast detects the printer correctly -- which tells me the cable and connection is OK -- but when I click for a printer test, nothing happens. In http://localhost:631/printers/y2test, the tests are showing in the queue as processing -- for hours -- until I delete them. I have tried several drivers from the list, including those for the 4L, which is what I had to use with SuSE 9.1, but I get no printer test from any of them. What is wrong and what do I do about this? Thank you.

This briefing paper is the first in a series of articles that describe the liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry-technology, markets, safety, security and environmental considerations and the growing role LNG may play in the nation's energy future. This paper also introduces the reader to LNG and briefly touches on many of the topics relating to the LNG industry. The second paper, LNG Safety and Security, deals with the safety and security aspects of LNG operations in more detail. A third paper, The Role of LNG in North American Natural Gas Supply and Demand provides an in-depth analysis of why additional LNG will be needed to meet U.S. energy demand in the near future. All three papers, plus supplemental information, are available in a complete online fact book, Guide to LNG in North America.
LNG is the liquid form of the natural gas people use in their homes for cooking and heating. Natural gas is also used as fuel for generating electricity. Natural gas and its components are used as raw material to manufacture a wide variety of products, from fibers for clothing, to plastics for healthcare, computing, and furnishings. Natural gas makes up about one-fourth of all energy consumed in the United States each year. The most common use of LNG in the U.S. is for "peakshaving." Peakshaving is a way local electric power and gas4 companies or utilities store gas for peak demand that cannot be met via their typical pipeline sources. Peakshaving can occur during the winter heating season or when more natural gas is needed to generate electric power for air conditioning in the summer months. The utility companies liquefy natural gas when it is abundant and available at off-peak prices, or they purchase LNG from import terminals supplied from overseas liquefaction facilities. When gas demand increases, the stored LNG is converted from its liquefied state back to its gaseous state, to supplement the utilities' pipeline supplies. LNG is also currently being used as an alternative transportation fuel in public transit and in vehicle fleets such as those operated by many local natural gas utilities companies for maintenance and emergencies.
Natural gas comes from reservoirs beneath the earth's surface. Sometimes it occurs naturally and is produced by itself (non-associated gas), sometimes it comes to the surface with crude oil (associated gas), and sometimes it is being produced constantly such as in landfill gas. Natural gas is a fossil fuel, meaning that the natural gas we produce from the subsurface is derived from organic material deposited and buried in the earth millions of years ago. Other fossil fuels are coal and crude oil. Together crude oil and natural gas constitute a type of fossil fuel known as "hydrocarbons" because the molecules in these fuels are combinations of hydrogen and carbon atoms.
The main component of natural gas is methane. Methane is composed of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms (CH4). When natural gas is produced from the earth, it includes many other molecules, like ethane (used for manufacturing), propane (which we commonly use for backyard grills) and butane (used in lighters). We can find natural gas in the U.S. and around the world by exploring for it in the earth's crust and then drilling wells to produce it. Natural gas can be transported over long distances in pipelines or as LNG in ships across oceans. Natural gas can be stored until needed in underground caverns and reservoirs or as LNG in atmospheric tanks. Transportation of LNG by truck takes place in the United States on a limited basis. Such transportation is more common in countries without a national natural gas pipeline grid. Truck transport of LNG it could grow in the United States if LNG niche markets, such as use of LNG as a vehicular fuel, develop.
4 We use the term "gas" as shorthand for "natural gas." Our use of this shorthand form is not to be confused with "gasoline", the most heavily used vehicle transportation fuel. Gasoline is manufactured from crude oil which, as noted in the text, also is a fossil fuel and is often found together with natural gas in underground reservoirs.

Campaigners have called for swimming to be made a priority in sports lessons after a study revealed one in three children leaves primary school without the skill.
It comes as recent figures showed that drowning is the third most common cause of accidental death of children in England - prompting concern that many youngsters do not know how to swim.
According to a report by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA) and Kellogg's, of those who cannot swim, nearly two-fifths (39%) have never been offered lessons at school.
It means around 200,000 youngsters leave primary school each year unable to swim, with 75,000 of them never being given the chance to learn, the report said.
This is despite swimming being part of the national curriculum for seven- to 11-year-olds, it added.
The curriculum states children in this age group should be able to swim unaided for at least 25m - about the length of a regular pool.
The ASA is calling for every child to learn to swim in primary school, with better training for teachers and robust monitoring of lessons by Ofsted.
Swimming should also be given priority in school budgets, help should be given to secondary school children who cannot swim, and more should be done to keep school pools open, the association said.
The report also reveals that without school swimming lessons, many more children would not learn the skill - as one in six parents never takes their child swimming.
ASA chief executive David Sparkes said: "Swimming is also the only subject on the national curriculum that can save your life so it's essential that government, schools and parents join us in taking action and break the cycle before we create a generation of non-swimmers unable to pass on this life-saving skill to their children in the future."
British Olympic swimmer Mark Foster said swimming was also a life skill that can keep people healthy into their old age.
"If you think we're an island nation and a nation surrounded by lakes and all our holidays gravitate towards water, towards the sea, towards swimming pools, so it's so important that kids have that life skill, if you like," he said.
"I go into a lot of schools and I see obesity, diabetes, and all these things on the increase and I think, if we only give them the opportunity to swim... it's a life skill we should give people."
He added: "It can save their life, it can save them from drowning, but also long-term... being healthy and fit."

Winter has definitely arrived in Lake Tahoe, where the snow totals are reaching or exceeding more than 4 feet at some Lake Tahoe ski resorts.
It has snowed at least 40 inches in the last 24 hours at Diamond Peak ski resort and it continues to dump today. The North Tahoe resort in Incline Village plans on opening its Lakeview lift today.
"We're thrilled to see this storm come in; Lake Tahoe has needed it," said Kayla Anderson, the Marketing Manager at Diamond Peak. "Right now we are experiencing the best conditions of the season. I strongly urge skiers and riders to get to Diamond Peak and take advantage of this powder while it lasts."
The snow has been quite extreme at several resorts. Kirkwood Mountain off Highway 88 is reporting 63 inches from the storm, including 22 inches dumping on its summit Saturday.
At Boreal Mountain off Interstate 80, the resort has gotten 56 inches from the storm. Boreal, a great spot for snowboarders, has beefed up its jib park, adding 25 new jibs and jumps.
Alpine Meadows ski resort had a huge day of snow, reporting 18-33 inches Saturday and a storm total reaching 51 inches.
The storm isn't good news in some respect, thanks to the wind and high temperatures that has resulted in rain.
Wind issues had Heavenly Mountain delaying its opening today until 10 a.m. Located on Lake Tahoe's south shore, Heavenly received 16 inches of new snow on Saturday and is reporting snow depths of 37 inches at the base and 98 at its summit.
Due to very high winds, Mt. Rose ski resort announced it would be closed Sunday (Feb. 9).
The higher temperatures in the Lake Tahoe region have been an issue. The temps were in the high 20s overnight and hiking to the low 40s during the day, which has resulted in rain at lower elevations.
Although it's been raining at lower elevations, there's plenty of snow on the summit of most ski resorts. For example, Northstar California reported only 2 inches at its base level Saturday, but 32 inches of snow at its highest elevations.
It was the same story at Squaw Valley, where it mostly rained in the village area, but at its summit was reporting 38 inches of snow Saturday.
The storm has been a blessing and a bit of a curse for Donner Ski Ranch, which resides at Donner Summit. The resort had been close for more than a month, but opened Saturday after a large snowfall. However, it was raining and Donner Ski Ranch closed today, but expects to reopen this week.

Thread: Skyrim Update 1.9 Problems

Skyrim Update 1.9 Problems
I make a lot of gamesaves for Skyrim on the Xbox using my PC version of the game and then modifying the game with console commands. I've made hideouts, modified characters, changed perks, etc, but I've never had any significant problems doing so until very recently when the Beta for update 1.9 on Skyrim came out; Since update 1.9, the gamesaves I make for the Xbox won't load up anymore, and just as I note, I am doing absolutely nothing differant from what worked in the past.
I've attempted to delete what I presume to be the update in my Skyrim's data folder known as "Update.bsa" and "Update.esm". Doing this has only succeeded in preventing my Skyrim for the PC from working at all, and it now only freezes up, putting me back at square 1.
If anybody has any possible solutions at all, please reply. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Re: Skyrim Update 1.9 Problems
Try clearing your Xbox's cache and re-updating and loading a gamesave.

Re: Skyrim Update 1.9 Problems
The update hasn't come out for the Xbox yet, but is out for the PC, which is why I think it is the problem. So clearing the cache and re-updating will likely have little effect, I will try anyways though just to see if it works.

Re: Skyrim Update 1.9 Problems
I figured that, which is why I am now trying to find a solution that will either allow me to remove the update and still allow me play Skyrim on the PC or will allow me still have the update and yet have the profiles work on the Xbox, cause so far the problem is "You can have one but not both"

(9:15 a.m. EDT) -- At a time when cruise lines are increasingly removing complimentary perks (earlier this year, Royal Caribbean took heat for limiting Concierge Lounge access on most ships to only its highest tier of repeat guests), one is bucking the trend.
Celebrity Cruises announced this morning that it is rolling out enhancements to its past-passenger program, Captain's Club, beginning this month -- with additional perks to be announced and implemented throughout the year.
So what's new now for Celebrity's loyal guests? We'll cut right to the chase:
Every ship (except Celebrity Xpedition) will host a once-per-cruise Captain's Club Celebration for all Captain's Club members. The party will include meet-and-greets with the captain and his senior officers, interactive cooking demos and "CC Jams" -- performances by shipboard musicians.
All Select and Elite members will receive expanded laundry benefits. Select members have access to free pressing of two clothing items and discounted laundry on cruises of 12 nights or longer. Meanwhile, Elite members receive one free item of dry cleaning, a complimentary bag of laundry (wash, dry and fold) and additional discounted laundry on cruises of 12 nights or longer.
Elite members and their stateroom companions will now have access to an exclusive onboard lounge. Michael's Club will transform into the members-only Captain's Club Lounge at certain times of the day. From 8 until 10 a.m., the lounge will serve as a coffeehouse, with complimentary espresso, tea and menu items; reading materials; and Wi-Fi access (Celebrity Solstice and Equinox only). From 4 until 6 p.m., Elite members can return for a complimentary drink or an optional wine tasting event.
Elite members will also receive complimentary 90-minute Internet packages. Select members will receive a 25 percent discount on any Internet package.
As for what's next ... well, you may actually have some say in that. Celebrity is actively reaching out to its customers for input via a new Captain's Club Advisory Board, an online panel the cruise line says it has created in order to continue to provide new and useful perks to its best repeat passengers.
How does this work? Spokeswoman Tavia Robb tells us that the line has already recruited some members, representing all tiers, to participate -- and used their feedback as part of the program design process. "We will now add more members to their ranks," she says. "We will seek those who are active in the program and who have recently sailed with Celebrity. New invitations to join will go out later this month. We'll be looking to have around 500 members on the board and will interact with them on a monthly basis."
Celebrity currently divides its repeat guests into three tiers: Classic (1-4 credits), Select (5-9 credits) and Elite (10+ credits). One credit is awarded per cruise, but passengers on cruises of 12 nights or longer and those who book certain cabin and suite categories can earn additional credits per cruise. Prior benefits remain in place.

Celebrity Cruises Perks Up Past-Passenger Program
Celebrity Cruises Perks Up Past-Passenger Program

It is not shocking to see Meryl Davis and Charlie White in the lead after the short program today at the 2014 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. They are an amazing team who are on the hunt for a sixth U.S. Championship title and a spot on the Olympic Team.
Davis and White skated beautifully and brought the audience to their feet while skating to My Fair Lady. They could sit on the ice for their entire free skate and still be named to the Olympic Team, since they have gone undefeated for almost two years now, yet they continue to push the envelope each time they get onto the ice.
Last year's U.S. Championship silver medalists, Madison Chock and Evan Bates, have now put themselves in position for yet another silver medal. This team has the speed, the spark and the unison that has made them one of the best in the nation.
Sibling duo, Maia Shibutani and Alex Shibutani also skated well with only minor issues on their twizzles, as they did leave some point on the table. They were still able to hold onto third place as they recovered well and skated with energy and enthusiasm.
Coming in only 1.31 points behind the Shibutani's are Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue. This team placed fourth at nationals last year and are hoping to make their way onto the podium this season. Hubbell and Donohue came out with a strong short program and are only trailing by a small margin, yet they will have to skate their best to overcome the Shibutani's in the free skate.
Newbies Alexandra Aldridge and Daniel Eaton have had a great senior debut thus far, coming in right behind Hubbell and Donohue. They showed such connection and maturity, it is no wonder that they are the two-time U.S. junior national champions. They were more than ready to make their senior debut.
The ice dance free skate will conclude on Saturday on NBC. Be sure to check your local listings for times. It should be a dramatic finish, especially for the third place finisher who will most likely be named to the U.S. Olympic Team.
Current short program standings:
1. Meryl Davis and Charlie White - 80.69 WATCH
2. Madison Chock and Evan Bates - 73.41 WATCH
3. Maia Shibutani and Alex Shibutani - 68.00 WATCH
4. Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue - 66.69 WATCH
5. Alexandra Aldridge and Daniel Eaton - 63.71
6. Lynn Kriengkrairut and Logan Giulietti-Schmitt - 61.22

9. Ginna Hoptman and Pavel Filchenkov - 52.68
10. Anastasia Olson and Ian Lorello - 47.86
11. Isabella Cannuscio and Michael Bramante - 46.21

TechCrunch: Twitter Joins Linux Foundation
Scott Merrill writes:
The overwhelming majority of web-based services today rely on Linux. More and more of these companies are joining the Linux Foundation, the "nonprofit consortium dedicated to fostering the growth of Linux." The Linux Foundation provides a neutral ground for companies and users to discuss and collaborate on Linux's development, so it makes sense for companies with large Linux footprints to get involved. Linux Foundation members include IBM, Intel, Google, HP, Oracle, and a raft of other names you'll recognize. Twitter will be joining up next week.

The future of American Jewish music - which has an awful lot in common with its past and present - was spread out in all its diversity on May 2, when the American Jewish Music Festival returned to Los Angeles after a three-year absence. Delighting an overflow crowd of more than 1,000 people in the main sanctuary of Stephen S. Wise Temple, the evening covered most of the musical genres that have been woven into Jewish music during the past few decades, from klezmer to folk to rock to jazz to the art song.The guitars, accordion and electric bass that were present on stage for various pieces during last Tuesday's pro-gram - not to mention the electronic keyboard and hyped-up drums that roared through others - would have been unthinkable as accom-paniment to the music of worship in the synagogues of the listeners' grandparents. Jewish music followed certain rules; psalms and prayers had signature melodies that varied only with the time of year or the day of the week. The music was handed down from generation to generation. It represented our history and our aspirations. It was our conduit to God.It was boring, the grandchildren said. See ya.
The Jewish Music Commission of Los Angeles, which sponsored the May 2 program and, according to its executive director, David Kates, is very much about the music of worship, is one of the institutions trying to convince those grandchildren - and their children and grandchildren - that Jewish music can engage people even as it seeks to connect them with a sense of the sacred. And it is trying to reassure traditionalists of every stripe that a psalm can sound like a madrigal, a hymn can sound like a cowboy waltz and a prayer can have a salsa beat - and still be Jewish music.
"There is nothing newunder the sun," Wise's cantor, Nathan Lam, who served as master of ceremonies for the evening, told the audience, reminding it that synagogue music has always borrowed from the cultures in which Jews have lived and has always used vernacular languages as well as Hebrew. But there is plenty new in Jewish music, which worries some Jews even as it delights others.
In purporting to present music that congregants might conceivably hear in a worship setting, the May 2 program tacitly laid out two of the issues engaging practitioners and consumers of synagogue music: the extent to which congregants should be able to participate in worship as singers and the extent to which stylistic boundaries of synagogue music can be stretched in order to attract new - younger - congregants and keep them coming back.
In Reform Judaism, no less a personage than Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations (UAHC), has called for worship featuring "music that is participatory, warm, and accessible." Addressing the UAHC's biennial convention in December, Yoffie asserted, "Our wisest synagogues invite their members to sing, because they know that Jews feel welcomed, accepted and empowered when they sing."
Local templegoers echo Yoffie's sentiment. "When I go to temple, if I don't sing, I'm not there," one Reform congregant said, adding that about the only piece she's happy to have the cantor sing as a solo is Kol nidre. "Most of us don't get to use our voices that much during the week," said a man who belongs to Reform and Conservative synagogues. "Just getting the vibrations going in our chests helps us spiritually."Not just congregants but some service leaders are comfortable with the idea of cantor as songleader rather than soloist. "When I lead services, it's far more important to bring the congregation together in song and prayer than to sing at them or for them," said Julie Silver, a popular songwriter and recording artist who also serves as cantorial soloist at Sha'arei Am in Santa Monica. "There is clearly a shift in the Reform movement, and I suspect in the other movements as well, away from the high cantorial presence and toward the group, the congregation, drawing people in through music and teaching."
The cantor who appoints himself or herself the guardian of synagogue music gives a lot of Jews a swift pain. "I'm not a huge fan of chazzanut," said Craig Taubman, a colleague of Silver's who grew up at Sinai Temple in Westwood and whose "Friday Night Live" services, featuring Shabbat liturgy set tohis bouncy pop tunes, are packing them in at Sinai every month. "Many of the people who preach chazzanut (cantorial chant and song) are so rigid: not just the right tune, but the way they do it, in their synagogue. Many traditional cantors believe it's important to be frozen in time, that it's their God-given responsibility to keep the music as it's always been."
But it isn't just vanity or attachment to tradition that causes the prospect of services-as-community-sing to send a chill down the spine of many cantors. There's the fear that the music will become one-size-fits-all and the worship experience will be less, not more, intense for many congregants. "Just sitting and listening is a no-no any more," said William Sharlin, cantor emeritus ofLeo Baeck Temple and a leading figure for more than 40 years in Southern California Jewish music."I find there's a possibility of 'just' congregational singing. It's very important to have participation, but that may also sometimes interrupt the flow, the continuum of the sacred stream."
Another problem is that when almost all the music of a service is geared to congregational singing, you wind up throwing out a lot of breathtaking music only because it's meant to be sung by a solo voice or a well-rehearsed ensemble. During the past 30 years, Sharlin, Michael Isaacson, Meir Finkelstein, the late Aminadav Aloni and any number of other composers have written synagogue music for soloist and/or choir much too beautiful - and, if you give it half a chance, much too powerful on a spiritual level - to be relegated to High Holy Days alone. Even Debbie Friedman, the high priestess of contem-porary congregational music, has written pieces such as her tender interpretation of the nighttime Hashkivenu prayer, "Shelter of Peace," and the introspective "Reb Nachman's Prayer" for solo voice - and they represent some of her best work.
"Accessing music does not always mean 'sing-along,' " said Sam Radwine, a Reform cantor who serves Congregation Ner Tamid, a Conservative synagogue, in Rancho Palos Verdes. "Accessing can also happen when the worshiper hears something and is able to connect to prayer."
Lam worries that the predominance of tunes for everyone to sing will eventually dumb down the music. "It's no longer about music that is good; it's about music that's accessible," he said in an interview. "We shortchange our congregants by not giving them credit for their musical sophistication."
Nor did the Jewish Music Commission, in providing a smorgasbord of crowd-pleasing numbers last Tuesday, include only what was "accessible" to the average congregant's singing ability; a majority of the pieces presented, both new and classic (including a couple that had won prizes from the commission), were geared to performance by soloist or choir and emphatically not to congregational singing. "The commission wants a modern era of Jewish music that does not sacrifice [traditional music] but includes it, that is participatory but retains the strength of the role of the cantor," Kates said.
Conservative Judaism, which historically has frowned upon tinkering with the liturgy and which makes greater demands of the worshiper than does the average Reform service, has also run into trouble with congregants who lack the Hebrew and the skills to feel at home in shul. "The worshipers with little or no background are seeking a prayerful experience but lack entry into the traditional service. ... They feel strange and disenfranchised and will give up easily if they can't find something to hold on to," said Ira Bigeleisen, cantor of Adat Ari El in North Hollywood. "The craze for congregational singing and 'participation' is an outgrowth of this need," Bigeleisen added. "I don't mean that congregational singing isn't important; it is very important in creating a sense of community. But in reality, it is a poor substitute for being able to say the prayers oneself and really praying to God."
And creating opportunities for congregational singing doesn't mean the congregants will sing. "Even when you teach them, they just sit there," snapped one woman involved in her synagogue's music program.The issue of how the music of worship should sound, of course, is a classic example of "two Jews, three opinions." What transports one congregant puts his neighbor to sleep. One templegoer wants the music to sound exactly the way it did when she was eleven, when it sounded like Methodist hymns; another wants it to sound exactly the way it did when she was eleven, when it sounded like Peter, Paul and Mary. One thinks the traditional davening modes are enough music for any service; another believes it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.
The traditional musical signatures for Jewish prayer, some of which date back to antiquity, are known collectively as nusach. These modes form the basis of prayer music and provide the dominant sound in traditional synagogues, includ-ing most Conservative synagogues, and they are incorporated by many contemporary composers who are trained in them, though sometimes subtly enough to go unnoticed by the untutored ear. While they are prayer itself to some Jews, they haven't found their way into much popular music (other than klezmer), and to some Jewish leaders, nusach comprises an archaic sound that drives away more potential worshipers than it attracts.
Even some congregations committed to tradition have made concessions to worshipers' changing needs. The Happy Minyan at Orthodox Congregation Beth Jacob in Beverly Hills, for example, replaces a lot of the traditional chant with tunes by Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach and even wordless nigunim to bring congregants into a more joyous worship experience.
"Music has to be traditional, but it has to be music that people want to listen to," said Steven Jacobs, rabbi at Congregation Kol Tikvah in Woodland Hills, who, with Debbie Friedman, led aservice called "Nusach California" at a regional UAHC convention several years ago. "So much of Jewish music is mournful, not soulful. We're never going to get to young people if our music doesn't reflect joy."Thus the persistent folk-rock influence that has infused so much Jewish music since the late '60s. "Popular music has always played a major role in coloring the music of the service," Ira Bigeleisen said. "In Eastern Europe, it was klezmer music; in Germany, it was classical music." Bigeleisen points out that in Europe, where most people still listen to classical music, Jews reject the pop-oriented liturgical tunes that are so popular in the States.
Aviva Rosenbloom, longtime cantor at Temple Israel of Hollywood, also points to an American culture lacking in serious music education as an influence on Jewish music. "Not as many people go to classical music concerts as in the past generation," she said. "Not as many kids study instruments seriously and play in orchestras; classical music becomes foreign territory. This affects how they respond to more formal compositions [in the synagogue]."
To Taubman, however, genre is unimportant compared to effect. "Sacred music is what moves people, period," he said. "If it works for people, who am I to tell them it's bad? If it brings people into the synagogue, inspires them to do mitzvot, to connect - who's to say it's bad?"
In a project not quite like any heretofore created, Taubman is going to write the music for a Shabbat morning service in which he melds his signature pop sound with traditional nusach. "We hope the congregants will get the tools they need to pray in an easy, digestible form within the framework of tradition," said Bigeleisen, who is participating in the project along with other Conservative cantors, Rabbi Richard Levy of Hebrew Union College, and Synagogue 2000, the transdenominational institute studying the changing synagogue and whose temple will introduce the service. "I think this allows us to innovate while staying connected with two thousand years of Jewish tradition."
If certain trends within Jewish music today are causing certain Jews to grit their teeth, perhaps it's time to look at the big picture. "I think that many worshipers nowadays want to feel joyful at services because we have much to be joyful about: the State of Israel, the integrated position of Jews in America," Bigeleisen said. "These are major changes from 60 years ago."
Nor are cantorial or Jewish choral music likely to die out as long as there are people who care enough to keep them going. American Orthodox Judaism was moribund 40 years ago, but it came back to life in the 1970s and is thriving and growing today. Yiddish was a dying language 20 years ago; now young people are flocking to classes and learning to speak, read and write the mame-loshn. Chazzanut may take on some unaccustomed colors and shapes in the coming years, but reports of its demise are probably premature.Julie Silver is too excited to worry that Jewish music is anything but flourishing. "It's a very hot time in Jewish music," she says. "Things are changing and growing. We are embracing our past and dealing with the present while keeping a steady eye on the future. [The words] speak to more Jews - especially the ones who years ago would have turned and walked away from shul because of the classical rigidity, the perceived dogma, the inability of the synagogue to adapt and change.
"Music is the language that binds us," Silver continues. "We look to our Jewish songwriters to tell the stories, to remember the past with reverence, honesty and wit. But it is incumbent upon us to change, to be radical, to reach out and create new traditions. Our experiences, set to the music of our American homeland, will lead us back into the synagogue and make the worship experience meaningful, sweet, and relevant."

New Horizons is a robotic spacecraft mission conducted by NASA. It is expected to be the first spacecraft to fly by and study the dwarf planet Pluto and its moons, Charon, Nix and Hydra. It may also flyby of one or more other Kuiper Belt Objects. The mission was prepared primarily by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). New Horizons was successfully launched on January 19, 2006. After a flyby of Jupiter on February 28, 2007 at 5:43:40 UTC, New Horizons is expected to arrive at Pluto in July 2015. As New Horizons passed through the Jovian system for a gravity assist in February, it performed scientific observations of Jupiter, the Galilean satellites, the Jovian rings, Himalia, Elara, and Earth.
The New Horizons primary goal is to improve our understanding of the worlds at the edge of our solar system. The mission will image and map the surface appearance with visible-wavelength cameras, perform near infrared spectral studies to determine surface composition, and probe the atmospheres with ultraviolet spectrometers and radio waves to study escape of the atmosphere as well as the interaction of the atmosphere with the solar wind.
The SBN is the lead PDS node to archive the New Horizons mission data. The latest version of the New Horizons Project Data Management Plan is available as a PDF file.

A UK winner has scooped £148m in the EuroMillions, a lottery spokesman has confirmed.
The winning numbers were 11, 17, 21, 48, 50 and the Lucky Star numbers 9 and 10. The £148,656,000 win is the second largest EuroMillions jackpot ever.
A National Lottery spokesperson said: "Lady Luck is clearly shining down on the UK once again with another big EuroMillions win this year – the seventh jackpot to be won so far in 2012."
This jackpot is the largest since Colin and Chris Weir from Ayrshire, Scotland, scooped £161m in July 2011.
The Lotto spokesperson added: "We have plenty of champagne on ice and look forward to welcoming the lucky ticket-holder into the National Lottery millionaires' club."
The winner will have a fortune bigger than that of Sir Tom Jones, who is worth £140m, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
Camelot is still looking for a UK ticket-holder who is yet to come forward to claim a £63.8m EuroMillions prize after hitting the jackpot on June 8.
The owner of that ticket, which was bought in the Stevenage and Hitchin area of Hertfordshire, has until December 5 to pick up the prize.

Kithuka Shatters Tech 10k School Record at Stanford
Kennedy Kithuka broke the Texas Tech school record in the 10,000-meter run Sunday at Stanford.
May 5, 2014
PALO ALTO, Calif. - Senior Red Raider distance runner Kennedy Kithuka shattered the Texas Tech school record in the 10,000-meter run Sunday night at the prestigious Payton Jordan Invitational where he crossed the finish line in 27 minutes 41.73 seconds.
Kithuka finished sixth overall, and second among collegians in the race, and with the performance became the first Red Raider to break the 28-minute barrier in the event. It marks the second outdoor school record to fall victim to Kithuka this season as he has now set a total five Texas Tech track and field school records in his career - a list that also includes the indoor mile, 3,000m and 5,000m- all set during the 2013 season.
The decorated Red Raider most recently took down the outdoor 5,000m school record at the Mt. SAC Relays on April 18.
Kithuka was also a member of the school record setting distance medley relay team as the anchor leg in 2013.
On Sunday, Kithuka broke the previous 10,000m record set in 2007 by Kevin Chelimo by a full 40 seconds, and now owns the current No. 1 time in the NCAA in the 5,000m and No. 2 time in the 10,000m.
The performance capped off a strong showing by Tech distance runners at the Payton Jordan Invitational as sophomore Evans Tuitoek finished second in section three of the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase with a new collegiate-best time of 8:51.62. Tuitoek's time marks the best by a Red Raider in the event since 2010.
Nick Rivera went on to win section four of the men's 800-meters with a season-best time of 1:50.19.
Texas Tech, which completed competition at the annual Red Raider Open Saturday, now eyes the Big 12 Championships set for May 16-18 at the Fuller Track and Field Complex in Lubbock.

Right now, Slingbox owners need to use the company's proprietary software to access their television, but Sling.com will allow them to watch their live TV streams and saved content in a standard web browser via a special plug-in � which unfortunately for Linux and Mac users runs only on Windows-based PC's at the moment. Of course, you also need a decent high-speed Internet connection at home to enjoy watching your Slingbox streams through the site.
All in all, Sling.com still has a ways to go if it wants to unseat Hulu as the top choice for online video streaming, but hopefully it will continue to introduce new content and perhaps even the ability to stream such content to a Slingbox set-top box.

Yes, when I saw Barky for the first time on TV in 2004, knew he was just a slick little conman commie.

FRESNO, Calif. --- With one week until their first fall tournament, Fresno State head women's tennis coach Ryan Stotland announced the Bulldogs 2013-14 schedule.
"This schedule is one of the toughest schedules that we have had," said Stotland "We play a lot of ranked teams this year, there aren't going to be any easy matches."
The Bulldogs compete in seven individual tournaments this fall and open up competition at the Redding Challenger in Redding, Calif. on Sept. 8. Fresno State then travels to Berkeley, Calif. two weeks later to compete in the Nike Cal Invite, Sept. 27-29.
After competing in three more fall tournaments, Fresno State returns home to host its annual Bulldog Classic, Nov. 1-3 before finishing its fall schedule at the ITA National Indoor Intercollegiate Championships, Nov. 7-10 in Flushing, N.Y.
The 'Dogs conclude their tournament play at the California Winter Invite the third week of January. The Bulldogs then begin dual match play at Clemson on Jan. 25. While at Clemson Fresno State will also face Tennessee (Jan. 26) or Purdue (Jan. 26) to conclude its ITA Kick-Off Weekend.
Fresno State will be on the road for most of February with matches at Sacramento State, St. Mary's, Kansas State, Wichita State, Idaho, Washington State and Princeton.
The 'Dogs home opener will take place on Feb. 21 against Santa Clara at 3 p.m. The Bulldogs then host Boise State for their Mountain West opener two days later at 10 a.m.
After opening conference with the Broncos, the Bulldogs will not see a MW opponent until hosting San Diego State on March 28 at 11 a.m., and UNLV on March 30 at 10 a.m. Fresno State then concludes MW play with two road matches at San Jose State (April 11) and Nevada (April 13).
Other nonconference teams Fresno State will face include Pepperdine, Santa Barbara, UT-Arlington, Dartmouth, Denver and Cal Poly.
"The most exciting part of our schedule is the Mountain West Championship that we are hosting this year which is a big honor, "said Stotland.
In its second year in the Mountain West, Fresno State will host the 2014 Mountain West Championships April 24-27. The tournament will be held at the Sierra Racquet Club.
With six returning Bulldogs and two newcomers, Stotland is looking forward to getting the season started. Fresno State returns Aishwarya Agrawal, Rana Sherif Ahmed, Tanya Murtagh, Anne Susdorf, Anneka Watts and Sophie Watts and welcomes freshman Claire Yang and transfer Sofya Malysheva.
"We are excited to go play all of these tough teams and get the season underway, "added Stotland.

Always the Same
A big advantage of the serial-number approach to identity is that
things stay the same even as they change. Identity doesn't depend on
location or on any combination of attributes. Two bank accounts
might have exactly the same balance, but they are different accounts
because they have different account numbers. Within a single account
the balance is likely to vary from day to day, but it remains the
selfsame account.
This interplay of constancy and change is certainly a familiar
feature of human life. My friend Dennis Flanagan has written that
the molecules in most of the tissues of the human body have a
residence half-life of less than two weeks. Clearly, then, I'm not
the man I used to be—and yet I am. Indeed, it is when this
process of continual molecular replacement ceases that "I" vanish.
In the semantics of programs, the unique identity of objects matters
only when things can change. In a programming system
without assignment operators or other ways of modifying existing
values, the distinction between separate-but-equal things and the
selfsame thing is of no consequence. If an object can never change
after it is created, then the outcome of a computation will never
depend on whether the program uses the original object or an exact copy.
For certain abstract kinds of objects, the whole concept of
individual identity seems beside the point. In the equation
2x – 2 = x + 2, should we think of the three
2's as being three separate-but-equal entities, or are they three
expressions of a single archetype of 2-ness? It doesn't seem to
matter. There is no way of telling one 2 from another. The same can
be said of other abstractions, such as alphabetic characters or
geometric points.
Even some elements of the physical world share this indifference to
individuality. Electrons and other elementary particles seem to be
utterly featureless; unlike snowflakes, no two are different. All
electrons have exactly the same mass and electric charge, and they
carry no serial numbers. They are a faceless multitude. No matter
how long and hard we stare, there is no way to tell them apart. They
are all separate but equal.
