Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
This weekend saw a terrible incident where a young gay man was beaten and taunted, in what appears to be a hate crime, by other young men, right here in Lowell.
The alleged savagery of these men, who were all from Lowell, should all give us pause. I have twice before called for Senator Panagiotakos and Representative Nangle to vote down - or at least abstain from voting on - the anti-gay-marriage amendment. One of the reasons I have given is that the hateful atmosphere which will prevail in our state as the forces of bigotry come rushing in to support such a measure will lend itself to more incidents like this.
I'm not saying that the anti-gay-marriage amendment will cause further violence. However, if it's fine to "vote" on denying civil rights for our own neighbors, friends, and family, to deny their families the civil protection the rest of us enjoy, what message does that send? How much further, is it, really, for some to deny those same people their very humanity, or their lives?
I hope our Senators and Representatives think very carefully on the difference between their personal beliefs, and civil fairness. I hope they decide to think like brave leaders and care about their legacy, and on which side of history they would like to be remembered for standing.
I hope they can imagine what it would be like to be twenty-two years old, walking down a street, and taunted, then beaten, just for who you are. Send those thugs a message, let's stop the hateful anti-gay amendment here and now.
And what does it say when the judge lets the 3 thugs out on personal recognizance?
LOWELL — Three Lowell teens were released without bail but placed on a nightly curfew after they pleaded innocent to charges they beat a man, nearly tearing off his bottom lip, while shouting homophobic slurs at him early Saturday
Good point Lynne, we shoudlnt accept that from our democratic rep Nangle, he's been getting away with his dinosaur politics long enough it s time we recruit a real democrat to run against him next election.
And where is the outcry from the legal community about the judge letting these thugs out?
What's interesting is I googled the victims name to see if there were any other stories about this, and the first hit is his name on the Lowell Sun Arrest Log for an arrest warrant from just two weeks ago for "failure to appear". For what offense, it does not say. Not that it has anything to do with this, but interesting never the less.
Very limited information in that article on the incident. It doesn't sound good though, at least on the face of it.
Something to consider… it is something to look into. How many young men who commit hate crimes and violence in general come from broken homes? I realize I'm a guest here, but hear me out on this when young men are raised in a home with a mother and father they are less likely to commit crimes, including hate crimes. I just recently made a comment on Richard Howe's site regarding fathers being more then child support payments.
"Take crime. Mothers who manage to get and stay married are much less likely to produce boys who end up terrorizing playgrounds, parks, and little old ladies walking home from the grocery store. One recent Princeton study found that boys who grew up in an intact, married family were half as likely to end up in prison as young adults. After studying murder and robbery rates in our nation's cities, Harvard sociologist Robert Sampson observed, "Family structure is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, predictor of variations in urban violence across cities in the United States." This is why neighbors should thank the married mothers on their block.
Or take psychological well-being. Children who are fortunate to grow up with a married mother and father are much less likely to find themselves in serious emotional trouble. By contrast, children who grow up without their father are significantly more likely to suffer from depression. And for some children, it gets much worse than depression. In the last half-century, suicide has more than tripled among teens and young adults; one recent Harvard study found the single "most important explanatory variable" behind this disturbing rise in youth suicide was the "increased share of youth living in homes with a divorced parent." This is why children should thank their mothers for getting and staying married."
Marriage is an issue of personal feelings or a civil right, it is a matter of public policy to encourage mothers and fathers to have intact relationship for the children. It is assumed that procreative activities will sooner or later bring forth a child. Both mothers and fathers play a key role in the making a child into a well-functioning non-violent adult. Yes, it may seem paradoxal, it must be taken seriosly in the debate of what is marriage. Both mom and dad are important, that is why it is the definition of marriage that is important and not any legal benefit attach to it that really matters.
Lynne and other readers, I know it is a passionate subject thanks for letting express the opposing view point.
Did the SUN article mention something about these three THUGS being from one-parent families? Alternatively, is this just an advertisement for Institute for American Values?
Like any research data, it can be manipulated to provide the outcome you are looking for. I have to wonder how many of the "violent boys" you mention were raised by lousy parents? I would argue that the number of parents you have is not as important as the type of human being the parent happens to be.
I plan to send your comments to my three happy, successful, well-adjusted siblings (two of them boys who have never shown a sign of violent behavior) who were raised from a young age by our mother, an outstanding woman. This will be there good laugh for the day.
I wholeheartedly agree that a child usually benefits from a two-partent household rather than a single-parent household, but I fail to see any connection between divorce/single parenting and same-sex marriage.
A couple of further points:
- I am not famililar with any evidence that two parents of the same gender cannot be equal or better parents than a male-female couple. I'm quite sure there are plenty of cases in which a mother or father has not been a positive role model for a child.)
- You also seem to discount any benefit derived from non-parental role models (e.g., teachers, extended family, etc.).
- "It is assumed that procreative activities will sooner or later bring forth a child." Assumed by whom and in what context?
- "… that is why it is the definition of marriage that is important and not any legal benefit attach to it that really matters." Civil marriage is primarily about the rights and responsibilities of the individuals entering into contract with one another as well as their right and responsibilities as parents, if there are children. This is precisely why anything less than full marriage equality is damaging to families of all kinds.
On a tangent, you might be interested in this recent post by JoeTS over at BlueMassGroup: http://www.bluemassgroup.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=7526
Renee..While I respect your opinion, I do disagree…There are many children who have two parents in the home, who behave terribly and wind up the worst offenders in society. So, I don't think that children who are raised by single parents, wind up any less ambitious, successful nor more likely to commit crimes than children who are raised in two parent households. This coming from a single parent home with a tremendous amount of involvement from a non custodial parent.
The Greater Lowell Equality Alliance and MassEquality are sponsoring a vigil in response to this incident.
"Show that Lowell is no place for hate.
Recently, a member of the Lowell community, James Nickola, was the victim of a brutal anti-gay hate crime. He was violently assaulted by three men simply because of his perceived sexual orientation.
This incident should be a powerful reminder to us all that homophobia still exists in our state and can lead to violent episodes like this one. We need to continue working together to create a climate of acceptance and to make Massachusetts a place where tragedies like this don't occur.
Please show your support for James by participating in a Community Candlelight Vigil this Thursday.
Community Candlelight Vigil
Thursday, June 7th
St. Anne's Episcopal Church
8 Kirk Street
Lowell, MA
(Corner of Kirk Street and Merrimack Street)
For any questions or for more information about the vigil, please contact Kate Tyndall from the Greater Lowell Equality Alliance (GLEA) at (978) 866-3049 or email@example.com.
Thank you,

Campaign Director"
Just discovered your blog. I think there is no doubt that if the marriage ban goes to the ballot it will increase violence against gay men and lesbians. It will create an atmosphere in which it is okay to say that LGBT people deserve to be second-class citizens. We've all got to be at the State House on June 14, letting the legislature know that we won't accept being excluded from constitutional protections. BTW, if you are interested in the struggle for same-sex marriage, check out www.courtingequality.com.

If $d$ is an integer, not a perfect square, and $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt d)$; if $\mathcal{O}_K$ is the ring of integers $K$, then I want to prove that there are infinitely many primes in $\mathcal{O}_K$.
How do we show that this is true? Thank you.
If $d$ is an integer, not a perfect square, and $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt d)$; if $\mathcal{O}_K$ is the ring of integers $K$, then I want to prove that there are infinitely many primes in $\mathcal{O}_K$.
How do we show that this is true? Thank you.
I suspect you may have mistyped the question, or your professor may not have thought through his or her question carefully enough! Perhaps you are meant to be dealing with prime ideals, not elements?
That said, the result is true, and can be proved at a pretty elementary level, although I think that would be pretty hard for a homework problem. Here are some hints towards the most elementary proof I can think of, followed by some more thoughts.
(1) Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $p$ an element of $R$ such that $R/pR$ is an integral domain. Show that $p$ is prime. (I'm not sure what definition of a prime element you are working with, but this one should be equivalent to it.)
(2) Let $p$ be an odd prime such that $d$ is not square in $\mathbb{Z}/p \mathbb{Z}$. Show that $\mathcal{O}_K/(p \mathcal{O}_K)$ is isomorphic to the field with $p^2$ elements. In particular, $p$ is prime in $\mathcal{O}_K$.
We have now reduced to showing that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $d$ is not square modulo $p$.
(3) Show that there is an element $r$ in $\mathbb{Z}/(4d)\mathbb{Z}$, relatively prime to $4d$ such that, if $p \equiv r \mod 4d$ then $d$ is not a square modulo $p$.
Now, I don't know whether or not you are allowed to quote Dirichlet's theorem in your course. If you are, you are done. If not, I do know an elementary proof that there are infinitely many primes $p$ of $\mathbb{Z}$ such that $d$ is not a square modulo $p$, but I'd rather not write it out until I know you need it.
I worry that what I have written above may give you the wrong impression, that prime elements of $\mathcal{O}_K$ come from primes $p \in \mathbb{Z}$ for which $d$ is not square. That is only half the truth.
To make my life simple, let $p$ be relatively prime to $2d$.
If $d$ is not a square modulo $p$, then $\mathcal{O}_K/p \mathcal{O}_K$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$, as I discussed already. If $d$ is a square modulo $p$, then $\mathcal{O}_K/p \mathcal{O}_K \cong \mathbb{F}_p \oplus \mathbb{F}_p$. So $p$ is not prime.
The ideal $(p)$ factors as $\pi_1 \pi_2$, where $\pi_1$ and $\pi_2$ are prime ideals. It may or may not happen that $\pi_i$ is a principal ideal; if $\pi_i$ is principal, then its generator is a prime element of $\mathcal{O}_K$. What happens is that there is a finite group $H_K$, called the ideal class group, and $\pi$ represents an element of this group. The ideal $\pi$ is principal if and only if the corresponding element of $H_K$ is trivial.
It is in fact true that every element of $H_K$ is represented by $\pi$ for infinitely prime ideals $\pi$ of $\mathcal{O}_K$, and this is still true when we are dealing with "split primes", which in this case means prime ideals $\pi$ coming from a prime $p$ for which $d$ is square.
I worked out the particular case of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-23})$ in an earlier answer. But I don't know a general proof that every ideal class is represented by infinitely many prime ideals without going through class field theory.
Remember that an element $\pi\in\mathcal{O}_K$ is a prime element if and only if for every $\alpha,\beta\in\mathcal{O}_K$, if $\pi$ divides $\alpha\beta$, then it divides either $\alpha$ or $\beta$.
Question. Are there any rational primes $p$ that are also primes in $\mathcal{O}_K$? If so, what are they? How many are there?
If the question has an affirmative answer and there are infinitely many such primes, then you'll be done. So let's consider what happens to a rational prime in $\mathcal{O}_K$.
We may assume that $d$ is not merely not a perfect square, but in fact squarefree, because if $d=r^2s$, then $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}) = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{s})$.
Consider the "norm map" $N\colon K\to\mathbb{Q}$ given by $$N(r+s\sqrt{d}) = (r+s\sqrt{d})(r-s\sqrt{d}) = r^2 - ds^2,\quad r,s\in\mathbb{Q}.$$ This map is multiplicative: if $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{K}$, then $N(\alpha\beta)=N(\alpha)N(\beta)$. Also, since $r+s\sqrt{d}$ satisfies the polynomial $$\Bigl( x - (r+s\sqrt{d})\Bigr)\Bigl(x - (r - s\sqrt{d})\Bigr) = x^2 - 2rx + (r^2-ds^2),$$ then $r+s\sqrt{d}\in\mathcal{O}_K$ if and only if $2r$ and $r^2 - ds^2\in\mathbb{Z}$.
This means that $r$ is either an integer or a half integer; if $r$ is an integer, then $ds^2$ must be an integer, hence $s$ must be an integer (since $d$ is squarefree). If $r$ is a half integer, $r = \frac{a}{2}$ with $a$ odd, then it is not hard to show that you must have $d\equiv 1 \pmod{4}$, and $s$ must also be a half integer.
It also means that we can translate statement about divisibility in $\mathcal{O}_K$ into statements about divisiblity in $\mathbb{Z}$, through the use of the map $N$. If $\alpha$ divides $\beta$ in $\mathcal{O}_K$, then $N(\alpha)$ has to divide $N(\beta)$ in $\mathbb{Z}$.
Now, suppose $p$ is a rational prime, and that $p$ divides a product $$\left( a + b\sqrt{d}\right)\left(x+y\sqrt{d}\right).$$ We want to know under what conditions we can conclude that $p$ divides either $a+b\sqrt{d}$ or $x+y\sqrt{d}$.
Since $p$ divides the product, that means that $N(p)= p^2$ divides the norm of the product, that is, $p^2$ divides $$N\left(\left(a+b\sqrt{d}\right)\left(x+y\sqrt{d}\right)\right) = N\left(a+b\sqrt{d}\right)N\left(x+y\sqrt{d}\right) = (a^2-db^2)(x^2-dy^2).$$ Since each of $a^2-db^2$ and $x^2-dy^2$ are integers, and $p^2$ divides the product, then $p$ must divide one of the factors. Without loss of generality, say that $p|a^2-db^2$.
Say $a$ and $b$ are both integers (think about the case where they are both half integers on your own later). Consider some possibilities:
In summary: either $p$ divides $d$; or else $d$ is a quadratic residue modulo $p$; or else $p$ has to divide one of $a+b\sqrt{d}$ or $x+y\sqrt{d}$.
That is: if $p$ does not divide $d$, and $d$ is not a quadratic residue modulo $p$, then $p$ is a prime element of $\mathcal{O}_K$.
(This was under the assumption that $a$ and $b$ were integers; if they are both half integers, you'll get a similar conclusion).
So, the question now becomes:
Question (modified): Are there any rational primes $p$ for which $d$ is not a quadratic residue modulo $p$? How many?
Show there's infinitely many such primes for any given $d$. This (together with the completed argument given above) will show that there are infinitely many primes in $\mathcal{O}_K$, namely, at least as many as there are rational primes for which $d$ is not a quadratic residue.
Note that these are not all the prime elements in $\mathcal{O}_K$, though; for some primes $p$ that do not divide $d$ and for which $d$ is a quadratic residue, you get two prime elements of $\mathcal{O}_K$ that are not rational primes, for instance (infinitely many primes for sure, sometimes all such primes).

Rated 5 out of 5 by karriefree Great wall art I ordered this online and it arrived in excellent condition. It is really cute and rustic. Planning to hang this in my daughter's room. The item is much larger than I imagined but that's my fault for not looking at the dimensions before ordering. Either way, I really love this! April 17, 2014

Vandals Roll Out First in Limited Edition Series: Schlereth Bobblehead
MOSCOW - What better way to support the University of Idaho Vandals, and honor one of its Hall of Famers, than having NFL great and ESPN sports commentator Mark Schlereth in your house?
Today, the University of Idaho unveiled the first in a commemorative set of Vandal Legends - the Mark Schlereth bobblehead.
Schlereth is excited.
"It's fitting that the school that gave a kid from Alaska an opportunity to play football and get an education is also giving me my first bobblehead," Schlereth said. "I'm really honored!"
Schlereth is the first in a series of legendary Vandals to be featured on a bobblehead. This year, each football season ticket account will come with the Schlereth collectable. In subsequent years, a new bobblehead will be unveiled and be provided to each season ticket account, providing that something extra for individuals who support the Vandals. Each seven-inch high figure will have a distinctive base that will connect to future bobblehead bases to form a commemorative set.
"Mark on the field, Mark in the NFL, Mark on ESPN and now Mark as a bobblehead - we wanted to both have a memorable way to honor him and celebrate the amazing qualities of our Vandal athletes that he represents," said Rob Spear, Idaho athletic director.
Schlereth helped lead the Vandals to three Big Sky titles in his four seasons at Idaho. He anchored the Vandal offensive line on a team that went a combined 37-12 and won Big Sky titles in 1985, 1987 and 1988. His 1988 squad advanced all the way to the NCAA D-IAA semifinal game and he earned second-team All-America recognition. He was selected in the 10th round of the 1989 NFL draft by the Washington Redskins and played 12 seasons, during which he was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and a three-time Super Bowl champion. He was the first native Alaskan to play in the NFL. Since 2002, he has been a popular ESPN analyst for SportsCenter, the Mike & Mike Show, the Scott Van Pelt Show and NFL Live.
To purchase season tickets and get the Schlereth bobblehead - only available with orders through July 22 - call (208) 885-6466 or visit GoVandals.com.

Office: 215-898-2923
Overall Record: 128-67-28
The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer program's all-time winningest coach, Darren Ambrose has never had a losing season in his 14 years overseeing the program. He has coached the team's first two All-Americans as well as its first NSCAA Scholar All-America, CoSIDA Academic All-America of the Year, Ivy League Player of the Year, Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year, and Ivy League Rookies of the Year. In addition, Ambrose has been at the helm for all of Penn's Ivy League championships (2001, 2007, 2010), three of its four NCAA Championship berths, and an ECAC title in 2000.
Three of the last four seasons, Penn has gone into its final match with an Ivy League championship still a possibility. A tie at Princeton in 2010 gave the Quakers the title over the Tigers that year; in 2011, Penn beat Princeton but finished second behind Harvard; and in 2012 the Quakers needed to beat Princeton to share the title with the Tigers, but fell in Princeton, 4-2. (The 2013 team did not have a shot at the championship on the final day, but went 5-1-1 in Ivy play and finished the season second in the Ivy standings.)
Each of the last three years, Penn has had three women earn first-team All-Ivy. That had never happened in the history of the program.
Penn's most recent campaign was certainly one for the ages. The Quakers finished the year 12-1-4 overall, setting a program record for fewest losses in a season. Penn also shut out 12 of its 17 opponents and allowed just eight goals all season. The women went 5-1-1 in the Ivy League to finish in second place, and at the end of the season three sophomores -- Caroline Dwyer, Erin Mikolai, and goalkeeper Kalijah Terilli -- were named first-team All-Ivy. Dwyer also was a third-team NSCAA All-America (just the second All-America in program history) and the inaugural Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year.
The Quakers also enjoyed a record-setting campaign in 2011, going 14-2-1 to tie the program record for overall wins and break the mark for winning percentage. In addition, Penn allowed just seven goals -- the previous record for fewest goals allowed in a season was 13 -- and led the nation in shutout percentage. The Red and Blue finished the season 5-1-1 in Ivy League play and took second place behind Harvard.
In 2012, Penn went 9-6-1 overall but once again went into its final game playing for a chance to win a share of the Ivy title. The Quakers lost at Princeton, 4-2, and ended up third in the conference behind the champion Tigers (7-0-0) and Dartmouth (6-1-0).
Penn finished the 2010 season with a 4-1-2 Ivy record that gave the Red and Blue their second outright title and third overall. The Quakers went to the NCAA Championship for the fourth time, falling to Big Ten champion Penn State 1-0 in the first round. Overall, Penn went 9-7-2 on the season. At the conclusion of the campaign, a Penn player was voted the Ivy League Rookie of the Year (Kerry Scalora) while a pair earned first-team All-Ivy selections (seniors Kaitlin Campbell and Sarah Friedman). The 2010 season also saw Coach Ambrose reach the 100-win milestone at Penn, achieved with the Quakers' 4-3 win over Harvard on Sept. 24.
In 2009 Penn went 10-4-2 overall, the best overall record among Ivy teams. The Quakers finished third in the Ivy League at 4-3-0, and had six players earn All-Ivy honors (the third time in five seasons that happened). Senior forward Jessica Fuccello tied the school record for goals in a season, with 16, and was first-team All-Ivy for the second time in her career.
The 2008 season saw the Quakers go 8-6-3 overall and place five women on the All-Ivy teams, including first-team selections Natalie Capuano and Sarah Friedman (who shattered the program record for assists in a season). Capuano ended her career as one of Penn's most decorated players as a three-time first-team All-Ivy and NSCAA all-region selection, and a number of academic honors including NSCAA Scholar All-America -- a first for the program -- CoSIDA Academic All-District, and Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area. In Ivy League play, Penn was unable to defend its 2007 title, but the Quakers did hand champion Harvard its only conference loss.
The Quakers went 13-4-1 in 2007, finishing one win shy of the program record. The women also went 6-1-0 in Ivy play, earning the program's first outright Ivy title, and advanced to the NCAA College Cup first round before losing to James Madison, 2-0. When the season finished, Penn had six players named All-Ivy, and two earned regional honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Perhaps most impressively, Penn was ranked seventh in an always-deep and difficult NSCAA Mid-Atlantic regional poll, its highest finish during Ambrose's tenure.
In 2006, with a roster that featured only two seniors, Penn went 8-5-3 overall and allowed just 14 goals in 16 matches. In Ivy play, Penn allowed only eight goals in seven contests and had shutouts of Cornell and Yale.
In 2005, a youthful squad went 8-6-3 overall. In the Ivy League, the Quakers tied No. 22 Yale (1-1) and earned shutouts of Cornell and Brown. At the end of the season, six players were given All-Ivy recognition by the conference coaches, behind only conference champion Yale which had seven players honored. The last time Penn had so many women earn All-Ivy was 1997.
In 2004, Ambrose guided Penn to its fourth-straight top-four Ivy League finish, as the Quakers recorded a 4-2-1 mark in the Ancient Eight to finish third in the standings. With his first team comprised entirely of his own recruits, the Red and Blue posted a 9-6-2 overall record. The 2002 team finished with an overall record of 9-5-3 and a 3-3-1 mark in the Ancient Eight, while in 2002 Ambrose coached the Quakers to a third-place finish in the Ivy League, as they lost just one conference game for the second-straight season.
After taking over as head coach in 2000, Ambrose led the squad to a 10-8-1 record and an ECAC Championship that season. He then returned in 2001 to lead his young squad to a record-breaking season. As one of the nation's up and coming coaches, Ambrose made a strong impression at Penn in a very short time. With just one recruiting class under his belt and a nucleus of returning players from the previous year, Ambrose brought a share of Penn's first-ever Ivy League title to Philadelphia in 2001. The regular-season record of 13-1-3 remains the best in the program's 15-year history.
Ambrose also has focused on helping his student-athletes balance the demands of the classroom, no easy feat at an Ivy League institution. Under Ambrose, more than 80 percent of the Penn women's soccer players have graduated with GPAs above 3.0, and Penn is the only Ivy League program to have earned the NSCAA Team Academic Award each of the last 13 years.
Since arriving at Penn, Ambrose has also taken on a variety of roles within the local soccer community -- in fact, in March 2007 he was head coach of Eastern Pennsylvania's Girls' 1989 Olympic Development Program (ODP) team that won the national ODP title. It marked the second time Ambrose has been associated with an ODP national champion, as he assisted the EPYSA's winning U-17 team in March 2002. He has also served as the goalkeeper coach for the WUSA's Philadelphia Charge and as a regional staff coach for Region I ODP.
Before joining the Red and Blue, Ambrose served as an assistant coach at Florida State University in 1999 under former Penn Head Coach Patrick Baker. At FSU, he helped Baker produce the 13th-best recruiting class in the nation and saw the team register its best season in the program's then five-year history.
Prior to his stint at FSU, Ambrose spent three years as the women's and men's assistant coach at Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn. He was an integral part of the success of programs that had a combined record of 77-33-3, a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) championship and three other second-place finishes, as well as three NCAA Tournament appearances.
Ambrose began his coaching career at Rhodes as a graduate assistant for both programs from 1993-95. He then went to the University of Connecticut to be the men's assistant coach under legendary head coach Joe Morrone, before returning to Rhodes in the fall of 1996.
Ambrose was active in youth soccer in Memphis. During his two years as head coach of the Memphis FC '81 girls' team, he led them to the 1998 Tennessee state club title. He also directed the team to victory in Europe, where his team was crowned champion in the women's open division of the Dana Cup in Denmark (1998). Ambrose served as a regional staff coach for the Olympic Development Program in Regions II and III for more than five years. He was also an ODP state staff coach in both Tennessee and Florida.
Ambrose, who holds a United States Soccer Federation (USSF) "A" License and a National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Advanced National Diploma, has also taken an active role in soccer education programs. He served as an instructor for the Tennessee State Soccer Association, and at Rhodes he taught USSF "E" and "D" license courses to Rhodes players who were beginning their coaching careers in the local community. He also had work published in the Tennessee State Soccer Journal and in the English publication "Entering the Field," a sociological look at the growth of soccer in the U.S. (1998). Ambrose is also an instructor for NSCAA goalkeeping courses.
Born near Sheffield, England, Ambrose played soccer with the youth programs of Sheffield United of the English League Championship and Doncaster Rovers of the English League first division. He also represented the English Schools Regional Team before coming to the U.S. for his college career at Division II national power USC-Spartanburg (S.C.).
While in goal for the Rifles, Ambrose garnered some impressive honors, including Adidas National Player of the Year in 1992-93. He was also the first USC-Spartanburg player to be named a GTE Academic All-America, in 1992-93. Other honors included GTE Academic All-Region awards in 1991-92 and 1992-93 and being selected as the USC-S Outstanding Senior Student-Athlete in 1992-93. In 2002, Ambrose was inducted into Spartanburg's Hall of Fame. This balance of academic and athletic achievement is something Ambrose brings to the Penn program on a yearly basis.
Ambrose earned a B.S. in management accounting at USC-S and in 1995 went completed an M.Ed. in sports administration at the University of Memphis.
Ambrose currently resides in southern New Jersey with his wife, Sherry, and daughters Madison and Ainsley.

One hundred and forty-seven adult recipients of the Nucleus 24 cochlear implant system, from 13 different European countries, were tested using neural response telemetry to measure the electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP), according to a standardised postoperative measurement procedure. Recordings were obtained in 96% of these subjects with this standardised procedure. The group results are presented in terms of peak amplitude and latency, slope of the amplitude growth function and ECAP threshold. The effects of aetiological factors and the duration of deafness on the ECAP were also studied. While large intersubject variability and intrasubject variability (across electrodes) were found, results fell within a consistent pattern and a normative range of peak amplitudes and latencies was established. The aetiological factors had little effect on the ECAP characteristics. However, age affected ECAP amplitude and slope of the amplitude growth function significantly; i.e., the amplitude is higher in the lowest age category (15-30 years). Principal component analysis of the ECAP thresholds shows that the thresholds across 5 electrodes can be described by two factors accounting for 92% of the total variance. The two factors represent the overall level of the threshold profiles ('shift') and their slopes across the electrode array ('tilt'). Correlation between these two factors and the same factors describing the T- and C-levels appeared to be moderate, in the range of 0.5-0.6.

all my IP phones connected to 5 switches grouped into a VLAN that only carries voice traffic. (Voice VLAN) also i have more 10 VLANS shared in our switches.thru VTP domain
SPAN is configured on the top switch to use Voice VLAN as the source of network traffic, any voice traffic sent or received by a port that is part of Voice VLAN that traverses the top switch will be copied and sent to the SPAN destination port.
It is captured only if the phone is sending packets that hit the top switch. This is also the case if the phone on the bottom switch was on a call with an IP phone connected to the top switch. It also works if the phone on the bottom switch is sending packets through the top switch to a connected gateway.
my Question is :-
the SPAN Port didn't capture -only- the calls between 2 IP phones @ the same switch.
all my switches is CISCO 3560
can any one help me please?

Patterns for Effective Interaction Design
Sebastopol, CA—Despite all of the UI toolkits available today, it's still not easy to design good application interfaces. This bestselling book is one of the few reliable sources to help you navigate through the maze of design options. By capturing UI best practices and reusable ideas as design patterns, Designing Interfaces, Second Edition (O'Reilly Media, $54.99 USD) provides solutions to common design problems that you can tailor to the situation at hand.
"Designers in 2010 deal with the same thorny interface design problems that they did back in 2005, when the first edition of Designing Interfaces was published," says author Jenifer Tidwell (@uijtidwell), reflecting on her book's second edition. "But now they have additional thorny problems, including designing for mobile platforms, incorporating social media, and using highly interactive techniques that weren't very common back then. This book needed to offer some answers for these issues."
Tidwell adds, "I wrote the first edition of Designing Interfaces for people who designed desktop software and, to an extent, those who designed rich Web applications. That's changed. Now, most designers work on the Web, with sites and services that span a wide range of topics and degrees of interactivity. Many also work on mobile sites and apps. The new edition of Designing Interfaces is written for all of these designers."
This updated edition includes patterns for mobile apps and social media, as well as web applications and desktop software. Each pattern contains full-color examples and practical design advice that you can use immediately. Experienced designers can use this guide as a sourcebook of ideas; novices will find a roadmap to the world of interface and interaction design.
· Design engaging and usable interfaces with more confidence and less guesswork
· Learn design concepts that are often misunderstood, such as affordances, visual hierarchy, navigational distance, and the use of color
· Get recommendations for specific UI patterns, including alternatives and warnings on when not to use them
· Mix and recombine UI ideas as you see fit
· Polish the look and feel of your interfaces with graphic design principles and patterns
"Anyone who's serious about designing interfaces should have this book on their shelf for reference. It's the most comprehensive cross-platform examination of common interface patterns anywhere." —Dan Saffer, author of Designing Gestural Interfaces (O'Reilly) and Designing for Interaction (New Riders)
About the Author
Jenifer Tidwell has been designing and building user interfaces for industry for more than a decade. She has been researching user interface patterns since 1997, and designing and building complex applications and web interfaces since 1991.

Casa Lapostolle
The Marnier Lapostolle family, creator of Grand Marnier, the world famous French Liqueur, founded Casa Lapostolle winery in 1994.
Casa Lapostolle's mission is to produce world-class wines. The meticulous adherence to traditional French winemaking techniques, combined with high tech facilities and the renown Chilean soil and climate have made Casa Lapostolle the premium leader from Chile.
Casa Lapostolle is owned by the great-granddaughter of Grand Marnier's founder, however don't expect any citrus-flavored wines. Rather, expect dry, full-flavored examples with a touch of French flare.
The Rapel Valley is one of the hotter wine regions of Chile and is known for producing full red wines. Casa Lapostolle Merlot has what is considered typical aromas: ripe blackberry, plum, black pepper, earth and a pinch of roasted green bell pepper. The nose also picks up elements of boysenberry, mulberry and spice.
The first thing you recognize on the palate is a very smooth texture, carrying a ripe, and spicy vanilla. The flavors are similar to what's found on the nose -- mulberry, blackberry -- and are backed by mild to medium acidity and mild tannins. The finish is very earthy and a touch hot.
Overall it is a very flavorful wine with good complexity. Why not try one today.

Wines From the Golden State!
"I say American wine, you say…California. And well you should as the Golden State represents almost nine out of every 10 bottles of wine made in the USA.
"Today, California is home to 115 American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) and nearly 3,500 wineries. Many of California's most important wine regions enjoy a healthy influence from the Pacific coast. Warm days, cool nights and long growing seasons allow many of California's grapes to gain a level of ripeness and maturity that is consistent and enviable. From Napa Valley to the Central Coast and the Central Valley to the Sierra Foothills, the sheer diversity of soil structure, weather patterns, landscape and various microclimates of California's wine growing regions bring extraordinary variety and grape growing potential to the state's copious collection of wine estates.

Tom Gory of Galaxy Wine will be pouring selections from Oregon, California, Italy and France:
"Scharffenberger Brut $18.99
91 Points, Editors' Choice, Wine Enthusiast - "This is a beautiful brut, easily worth its price. It shows the fancy elegance of more expensive bubblies, with its refined texture and rich but subtle flavors of strawberries, peaches and brioche. Made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and easy to find." 90 Points, Best Buy, Wine & Spirits - "This is a pale, dry sparkling wine with a robust pinot noir scent. Winemaker Notes: The wine is two-thirds Pinot Noir which produces a red fruit forward nose (cherry and plum) combined with one-third Chardonnay which adds the tropical expression of lychee nut and mango. The 100% malolactic fermentation adds a vanilla cream character producing a round and full-bodied wine. After approximately two years on the lees, there are notes of freshly baked bread and pastry that enhances the more fruit forward style of the wine. Finally, after several months on the cork, the wine develops caramel and hazel complexors."
to Z Rose 2013 $11.99
"The 2013 A to Z Rose tempts with aromas of strawberry, watermelon, cherry, hibiscus, honeycomb and a sweet herbal note. The mid-palate is bright and spicy, full of red fruit flavors and personality to spare. The creamy texture is lifted by the firm acidity and low tannin. This wine finishes crisp and clean with lingering flavors of citrus and strawberries. Pure Enjoyment! A to Z Rose is made with intention from grape to glass. 100% Tempranillo. Rogue River Valley."
"Louis Latour Grand Ardeche Chardonnay 2011 $13.99
The Grand Ardèche 2011 has a lovely shimmering yellow-green colour. It has a delicate bouquet with a subtle oaky touch. Still young, one must leave it for a few months in order for the the woody notes to be perfectly smooth. It is a very balanced wine with a certain nervousness present on the finish which gives it a very promising future."
"Cantina Zaccagnini Montepulciano 2011 $13.99
This dry, red wine made from the Montepulciano wine grape in the Abruzzo region of east-central Italy is noted for its deep reddish-purple hues and subtle nose with clear aromas of coffee and dark chocolate. The wine smells like Tiramisu in a glass. They are wines of medium body with silky tannins and a pleasant mouth feel and a subtle finish, very fresh, and fruity."
"Domaine de Cristia Grenache 2013 $12.99
Vivacious ruby red colour. Good aromatic intensity on the nose with aromas of ripe fruits, red-fruit coulis and hints of fresh licquorice. The palate offers good volume, is rich and endowed with silky tannins. Good amplitude in the middle palate which leads onto a long finish where the licquorice aromas persist."
"Abacela Vintners Blend #14 $14.99
Choosing and assembling the different varietal wines for this cuvée, though challenging, is always a pleasure. This proprietary Mediterranean blend is mostly Tempranillo, while 13 other varietals join to create a wine that is greater than the sum of its parts. Fresh fruit tones and a rich mouthfeel are underpinned by interesting aromatics of dark fruits, plums and barrel spices. While excellent now, this smooth, moderately tannic wine will continue to improve in the bottle for the next three years."
"Fruit Source: Abacela's Estate Fault Line Vineyards, Umpqua Valley
Appellation: Umpqua Valley, Southern Oregon AVA"
Varietal Composition: Tempranillo (34%), Syrah (22%), Malbec (19%), Merlot (12%), Dolcetto (5%), Bastardo, Graciano, Petit Verdot.

Small Domaine Red Burgundy ($23)
Friday, May 30th 2014/ 4 pm - 7:30 pm @ Mt Tabor Fine Wines
"…You may feel that Oregon Pinot is more enjoyable than Burgundy. But believe me, the very best of Oregon just can't match up with the best of Burgundy. The Burgundy will surely cost more, a lot more, than the Oregon equivalent but as far as the best wine can be, and in this case the best Pinot Noir can be, there's just no match. In my opinion we are a solid second, and we should be proud of that considering Burgundy has been growing Pinot Noir for hundreds of years and the Pinots of New Zealand and California can be amazing. So let's taste and savor and make our own judgements. After all, it's a very subjective game we play. Sandy"

(This weekend is not-so-coincidentally the weekend of the Prefontaine Classic track met in Eugene, OR – where the top runners in the world compete every spring.)"

Oregon Wine Month "Mentors & Mentees" with Pam Walden & Ben Casteel
Saturday, May 31, 6pm – 8pm
"will•ful (adj): determined; pertinacious; unruly; wild Willful Wine Company is the passion or owner and winemaker Pam Walden. She makes small quantities of hand-crafted Pinot Noir, as well as limited amounts of other varietals.
Pam sources from vineyards in the Dundee Hills and Eola-Amity appellations, working with the growers to ensure the best quality grapes. Sorting happens both in the field, and again at the winery, to ensure that only the best grapes are used. The grapes are destemmed and cold-soaked below 50F for around two weeks. Pam's goal is to accentuate the quality of the fruit so she opts to ferment using native yeasts. She believes that the several strains of microflora used during native fermentation bring out the fullest expression of the terroir, resulting in a more complex wine.
2012 Willful Pinot Noir, Dundee Hills
"The grapes for Willful Pinot Noir come exclusively from Latchkey Vineyard in the Dundee Hills. One of the most distinguished viticultural appellations in the Willamette Valley, the terroir is renowned for producing world-class Pinot Noir. "

Chile & Argentina: Viva la Revelations!!
"Oh, man, is this going to be a great event! We haven't traveled so far south for months. Meanwhile those crafty wine practitioners in South America keep upping the ante, practically daring me to pour their wines, knowing that the results will be an unchecked spread of love and happiness across a large swath of SE Portland. Dare I say this is one of the strongest lineups from that continent we've ever put together? Of course I dare, because as a wise old redneck once said "It ain't braggin' if it's true". Truth…and delicious grape based beverages…will definitely be served this week as you will see below. These wines are incredibly satisfying and I am finding myself getting more and more intrigued by the advances in quality these wines seem to be making, especially at their remarkably affordable prices. The weather for some outdoor tasting seems to be going our way, too, so we can also look forward to a perfect patio evening at VINO! Here's what you'll be tasting once you get settled in…"

College Hockey:St. Cloud Returns To Winning Ways At Home
Meyer Pitches Shutout Vs. Wisconsin For 5-0 Win
ST. CLOUD, Minn. — Netminder Scott Meyer gained his first shutout of the season, the team-record eighth of his career, in No. 8 St. Cloud State's 5-0 win over No. 14 Wisconsin Saturday.
The win improves SCSU's record to 11-4-1, 6-4-0 WCHA, while UW falls to 11-9-0, 8-6-0 WCHA.
Meyer was stellar once more with 24 saves in the game, while his teammates outgunned the Badgers 45 to 24 in shots on goal.
Joe Motzko scored the first goal — and the eventual game-winner — at 4:18 of the first period with assists from Jon Cullen and Derek Eastman. Cullen then extended the score to 2-0 with a goal at 1:01 of the second.
SCSU exploded for three goals in the third with tallies by Matt Hendricks at 10:54, Tyler Arnason at 14:48 and Mark Hartigan at 19:37.
Cullen and Hendricks both finished the contest with a goal and an assist as the win snapped a three-game home losing skid for the Huskies.

FCC Lands at Stanford
By SDN Program News Staff: LH on Apr 04, 2008
We here at SDN aren't usually political, but this is something everyone online should be interested in. We're forwarding this announcement from Media Alliance.
The Federal Communications Commission has
scheduled an internet management hearing (primarily focusing on the
Comcast/Bit Torrent controversy and other net neutrality issues) at
Stanford University on April 17th.
This hearing will not (as far as we know) incorporate public testimony
(although the FCC is accepting comments through the date of the
hearing), but it is open to the public. The time and exact location on
campus have not yet been disclosed. We'd like to avoid a repeat of last
month's experience in Cambridge where Comcast bused in a bunch of sleepy
seat-warmers. Can the Bay Area manage a vital, engaged, awake and
activist audience at the hearing? It might mean a very early morning in
Palo Alto (seating is first-come, first-served), so we'd encourage
people to contact any friends and family in the South Bay available
during the week and ask them to consider giving a day to the important
cause of digital equality and freedom of expression. See:

To me, the most startling signs of a developing shift were the e-mails we began getting—the striking new language in the messages that management sent around periodically, announcing job openings to staffers who might be interested. At the Washington Post, where I have worked since the mid-1990s, these e-mails had long carried a ring of deep familiarity; they were almost a litany, with a cadence all their own. The paper was looking for a Tokyo correspondent, they would say, or a feature writer, or a beat reporter to cover the Pentagon.
Except that all of a sudden the e-mails changed. Besides invoking the familiar jobs, they sometimes announced different kinds of positions. More and more—starting about five years ago—the e-mails said the paper was looking for people who could aggregate and blog and manage online content and enhance reader interactivity. To many of us, these offerings had little connection to spoken English, never mind journalism. Under normal conditions, we would have had time to adjust to seeing these jobs listed, but the move to online news was taking place during a period of global economic crisis, when the paper was obliged to winnow staff through buyouts. The effect of these twin developments—newsroom shrinking, job descriptions changing—was freak-out inducing. Overnight, it seemed, our skill set had become outdated, and we needed to learn a new one. Fast.
But what skills should we be acquiring, and how long before those, too, were irrelevant? Did we need to remake ourselves entirely or just a little? Many of us were working mothers, some with husbands whose jobs were vulnerable; how could we upgrade our competence when we felt stretched thinner than ever, in a workplace where all of us had to do more with less? In short: Where was this rapid change taking us? What would our professional world look like in a decade, and how could we ensure that our claim to a desk and a paycheck would continue?
These are questions that workers around the country are urgently asking. The changes in journalism may have been especially acute, but owing to the one-two punch of economic downturn and rapid technological development, people in many fields arrive at work in the morning wondering what life-altering upheaval—industry contraction, bad jobs numbers, decision to outsource, changes in economy/industry/top management—might have occurred overnight. Just ask people in the legal profession, which in a major structural realignment is moving paralegal jobs overseas, where documents can be searched more cheaply. Ask people in banking, which is getting more automated by the day. Ask anybody, really, and you will hear workers wondering how to prepare for whatever lies around the corner. "Companies change, managers change," says Vicki Lynn, a senior vice president with Universum, a firm that specializes in employer branding and talent recruitment. "The future will be here in six months."
But in the midst of all this turmoil, certain truths about future jobs are becoming clear. The American economy is hollowing out, as MIT economist David Autor has put it, with middle-skills jobs disappearing and employment moving to the lower and higher ends of the spectrum. Despite this evolution away from the industries that have supported the postwar middle class, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that in the next 10 years the economy will grow, albeit modestly. As the massive baby boom cohort ages—and needs more physicians, nurses, home health aides and increased technical staff to support it—the field projected to expand the fastest will be health care. The same is true for social services: We'll need more counselors, therapists and social workers. Education will see robust growth as baby boom teachers retire. Both health care and education are, of course, female-dominated fields.

When I was programming on MVS around 1987, the assembler we were
using was IEV90. IBM have come up with new names since then.
Given that my code is all compatible with IEV90, and if it wasn't
for the AMODE, RMODE and GETMAIN LOC=BELOW, it would also be
compatible with IFOX, is there any reason why I shouldn't make
IEV90 the assembler I use in my procedures? If IBM were to
release MVS/XA, then this would work out of the box.
It's similar to coding in C90 instead of C99. The code works
on more platforms. If there's no reason to use extensions,
then I don't want to. I most certainly want the modules to
be marked ANY/ANY, so I do want an assembler that supports
those constructs. Any reason to not go ahead and change all
my JCL to that?
I can't call IBM's procs, because the assembler is part of a
compile proc already, and you can't get one proc to call
another proc (I believe).
BFN. Paul.

Wake Forest is proud to have a thriving Office of Sustainability. This office is making a major impact on campus by encouraging more sustainable practices on campus. Our students are eager to be green, and they volunteer with gusto for events that help our environment.
There will be an Earth Day Fair on Wednesday, April 22nd – encourage your students to attend! And if your student is still looking for a niche on campus to belong to, there are tons of wonderful sustainability activities that happen all the time; here's where to learn more.
Hopefully the Earth Day Fair will spur your students to think about how to be more environmentally aware. When your Deac comes home for the summer, he or she might urge you to have a greener household. How can you do it?
– Sign up for online bill payment and e-notifications for your bills instead of receiving paper bills
– Resist the urge to print out directions or other 'temporary use' documents; look at them on a computer or smartphone instead
– Purchase reusable shopping bags for groceries (and avoid plastic ones)
– Buy energy efficient "green" light bulbs
– Use a rain barrel to collect rain water for flowers and gardens (and avoid using a hose)
– Compost your food scraps and use to fertilize rather than purchasing chemicals
– Shop at local farmers markets and buy locally-grown food
– Use public transportation if it is available
The Office of Sustainability has created a Green Guide for campus, but you can take many of its ideas and apply it to your home life as well.
Will your house commit to being greener this year?

BOULDER – From the open of practice to its conclusion the pace remains the same. A system highlighted by constant motion and a high tempo has made its way to Colorado, and early on it seems that the team is adapting quickly to the new head coach's fast-paced methods.
Two days into his first fall camp at CU, head coach Mike MacIntyre's new wave approach to up-tempo football has already become the talk of practice.
"It's fast this year," fullback Jordan Murphy said. "We're flying around. We're running 80-90 plays at practice and it's been non-stop reps, not too many subs and two different fields. We're getting after it."
The constant use of multiple practice fields gives Colorado coaches the opportunity to keep players in shape and develop them at a rapid rate instead of having large groups of players standing around doing little for long periods of time.
"The tempo's very important," MacIntyre said. "We're getting repetitions and getting in shape then that'll put pressure on them during the game. The pressure, tempo, and hurrying up (are all important). They have to communicate better so it teaches them all of those attributes."
Although the pace is faster, the team has yet to show any signs of fatigue. The players' stamina level remains high even after a three-month layoff – a credit to the off-season conditioning work overseen by Dave Forman, the director of sports performance, and the summer player-run practices (PRPs).
"They had good stamina," MacIntyre said of Wednesday's work. "They got after it. I thought they finished practice good. We were able to get through a lot of situations which is important especially with a new team and a new staff. I want these young men to know exactly what's going to happen in all situations.
"In pressure situations I want them to think just like I think and when they can do that, that's when you execute in those situations. So you have to do them over and over and over."
The tempo is only expected to accelerate between now and the season opener on Sept. 1 against Colorado State. Although there were some mistakes, the coaching staff knows they can't overwhelm the players with too much too quickly.
"I think you could overload them and they could slow down," MacIntyre said. "I think that's very important. There's a fine line there to make sure you don't do that."
Fall camp will continue with another afternoon session on Thursday from about 4-6 p.m.

Advertising as we know it is changing, it didn't happen yesterday, it's happening NOW. It is morphing into facebook, social media and twitter ads. While alternative approaches to reaching your audience is through lifestyle, a new kind of integrated marketing has emerged to date.
3 approaches that all work in a virtuous cycle together….
Owned Media
These are the channels you own: Your website, blog, social media (facebook, twitter etc), email list and customer database. The content you send via these channels could include direct mail, email newsletters, blog posts, multimedia and more. I'd also include events in this list. Events are part content, part channel.
Earned Media
Another word for this is publicity. It can include newspaper, magazine or TV coverage; coverage by bloggers; guest posts; consumer reviews; and Facebook or Twitter posts about you.
Paid Media
Just like it sounds, this is attention you pay for. Included here: Display advertising (online and offline), pay-per-click advertising, trade shows, advertorials, news wire distribution, sponsorship and more.
The brand that can unite all three marketing strategies – owned, earned and paid media – is the future savvy marking agency not seen to date.
From this point forward there will again only be one kind of agency and it will be called agency. What I mean is, an integrated agency with social media as another arm. Mobile marketing, SEO, digital marketing and research through conversation…. all services an agency of tomorrow will be expected to provide.
There will always be specialized services out there but ultimately the big agencies will be providing all these services in order to fully optimize the new research and advertising approaches social media and digital media provide…. to reach out to the masses.
The three steps of social media advertising:
1. Engagement
2. Social ad/ engagement ad from discussion
3. Display/banner/skyscraper/digital
Creativity matters more than ever in this world today and all three types of media approaches help shape, morph, model, select and change, the copy and ads to be more efficient in creating effective messaging. Making creatives more effectual and creative than EVER BEFORE.
Don't be mislead into believing the future of "agency" is social media. Social is simply another very important strategy to help with research and to get your message out there to your audience.
The question now would be, should sales, customer support and business development report to marketing?

The long awaited hero, Rubick, the Grand Magus!. My gameplay commentary of Rubick was actually one of the first videos I ever posted on Youtube, and here he is again. He's a strong solo mid hero who has pretty strong early ganking due to his strong nukes(especially if he steals some from enemies). He definitely has lots of potential as a hero, so keep an eye out on the pro scene!

By Julie D. Griffin
John Denver who doubles as a makeshift prophet of God, nee no credentials, and a grocery store manager, just too much for his small town, he eventually finds himself homeless and as he states at the same time unrelocatable ~ The first Oh God film which leads onto the platform of Oh God II. about a child, a young girl who talks to God, and although the second film which has a lot of bland scenario regarding same, still George Burns shines as God and while no one really knows what God per se actually looks like physically, even an atheist believes of the possibility of God or a god. Otherwise, what argument would such a person make against a greater being for the reason of the existence of one against. In Oh God II., Wifred Hyde White and Anthony Holland also join an elder God of a George Burns, while her father takes her to a real theater and a Chinese diner for a change. God speaks through fortune cookie messages, television and even while driving a motorcycle. The little girl comes up with an idea to campaign God, and even the father grows uneased. "I'm not a tube of toothpaste," replies God. And the advertising executive father wants no part of marketing the holy one of Israel. George Burns as God attests that he is no advertising campaign. Despite the little brown eyed girl who wants to push God around and make a great big want me list of the man, her father tells her that he for certain at least knows ~ "I don't think I'd handle that act ~ I could get into a lot of trouble with that." An honest critique of God II. while the film tries to use a slant at material cuteness, while the acting of Mr. Burns rates high, the other points of the film seem rather carnal and base. At least with God II. though, George Burns as God does get invited to speak on the Johnnie Carson Show, and while the themes of a lot of existential Yin and Yang get thrown around as the philosophy of God again, unlike with the former construction of the film series, the idea of an originally spoiled little rich girl who talks to God does not exactly vie or line up well with the mother Mary ideal of a poor Jewish girl who finds herself pregnant with a pre-eminent savior, and later gives birth under a mediterranean country moon sky on a pile of hay with donkey, sheep and other animals standing around watching.
Oh God, You Devil which rends the third film of the George Burns, God trilogy of the theme portrays Mr. Burns as both God and the devil. A rock star, who makes a bargain with the devil for his soul for a lot of fame and money finds himself torn between two devils ~ God and the devil. An infamous and classic theme of opera and fiction from ages begone, the poor star of the film hardly knows which George Burns to cleave onto. Confused, he fluctuates between the identified good and evil outlined and defined by the director of the film, and just as the other original Carl Reiner Oh God production, said, Burns informed Denver who died before a second production of same, that he was not really looking for anyone significant and that really ordinary would do. Again the theme of the last film capitulates the theme of the present film to present a more carnal and religious Yin or Yang retreat. Of course, with traditional belief, one does not exist without the other. Representational motif therefore of the more dramatic criticism of the film, make one veer and more precise, run from any postcolonial identification for all three of the films. But rather, to attribute the duo gods of Satan and God to any form of reconstruction seems a soliloquy of error. And while no great psychoanalytic film theory would do here, it would be some appropriate. And not likely questionable regarding eco-feminism since a female actress, albeit a child exhibited the second film of the trilogy, and yet a more endemic mythologies structure while not exactly clearly outlined here ~ Does have a moment of tryst and shine not likely to be too unclearly undefined.

U.S. International Broadcasting at the Speed of Life
Sitting in on a whiz-bang presentation at the USC/Public Diplomacy Council's forum this week by BBG's dynamic and talented CIO and CTO, André Mendes, I was reminded of important progress we've made in our transmission and technical infrastructure. We now have the most reliable transmission network – ever – providing the best array of signals on all platforms to our audiences worldwide. This means transmission downtimes that are fractional – often less than one percent. This also means we've tapped new methods for reaching our audiences in key regions.
I'm thinking in particular of the satellite "radio with slate" concept that is now reaching China, Tibet and Iran unobstructed. We know there is growing use in China of these small satellite dishes, something in the range of 11 percent, according to the most recently available data – and by now, that number would be higher. In Iran, the proliferation of small satellite dishes far exceeds that of China. This is a direct consequence of a precipitous drop in the cost of these satellite set-ups and their ready availability in normal commercial venues and the black market. In these places that continue to inhibit news of issues deemed uncomfortable to authorities, access to the balanced news of our broadcasters is a real lifeline.
Similarly, our successful Internet Anti-Censorship program continues to employ leading-edge technology. We have developed and are distributing a credit card-sized network device that contains web addresses of popular sites, checks their accessibility from countries that censor access to the web and reports these blockages back in real time. Another tool developed by the BBG's IAC program allows users to download and browse web content from a satellite feed outside the authoritarian firewalls and slow bandwidth encountered in places like Iran and Cuba even if the Internet is completely shut-off.
In some cases, we must transition from the traditional platforms that we've been using for many years, such as shortwave, and onto the newer platforms. We can't do it so quickly that we hurt our audiences. For example, in places like Nigeria and rural Afghanistan, we continue to have substantial SW radio audiences even as there is an explosion of use of cell phone technology.
At the same time, we now deliver content via mobile and have grown users of U.S. international broadcasting's content to over six million new users per month. For example, we're reacting to changes in Mali and other hotspots by creating simple, low-bandwidth audio distribution channels for mobile phones.
Given the speed of change in marketplaces around the globe and the shifting habits of our old and new audiences, I am gratified that our dedicated team has made such important progress even as I know we have to be faster and more nimble in the days to come. I know we can be!

New LG tablet coming this year
A couple of years ago, LG dabbled into the whole Android tablet thing, but not with great results. Not by any stretch of the imagination. The Optimus Pad was as uninspiring as LG's smartphones were around the same time.
Recently though, the second largest Korean mobile device maker is experiencing a turnaround of sorts in the smartphone space. Sales are up, and the company has started producing some actually desirable models over the past few months. And now it looks like it's ready to dive right back into the tablet world.
LG is working on a new tablet. This will be out later this year, possibly even as soon as in the third quarter (which is from July to September). The information comes from a report over at munhwa.com. Details about any specs are completely missing, however. As is any mention of which operating system this tablet will run.
The Optimus Pad ran Android at a time when Android-based tablets were pretty rare. Now that Google's mobile operating system is finally making inroads into the tablet market, perhaps it's time for LG to try again. On the other hand, Microsoft would certainly be happy if LG decided to go with Windows RT, that company's new tablet-oriented OS. Time will tell, but it definitely looks like the tablet market will get even more competitive later this year.
