Sister Lydia Dargie, 85, FCSCJ (Sister Cecile de Marie), a Daughter of the Charity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, died after a long illness on July 20, 2016, at the Holy Cross Health Care Center in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Lydia Dargie was born January 2, 1931, in East Ryegate. She was the daughter of Alfred Dargie and Annie (Fillion) Dargie. Lydia Dargie professed her vows with her religious congregation on July 3, 1951. During her 65 years of religious profession Sister Lydia served in various missions in Champlain and Morrisonville, New York; Newport, Burlington, Rutland, and Barton; Colebrook and Littleton, New Hampshire. Since 2013, Sister Lydia had resided at the Holy Cross Health Care Center in Manchester, New Hampshire, due to declining health.
Sister Lydia was a dedicated math teacher for much of her active life. She was especially happy to cheer on students who needed a boost of confidence, and willingly encouraged the arts and crafts — dimensions which she believed enhanced students' capacity for learning concepts, both in the classroom and in life situations. Students readily stayed connected with her over the years, which Sister Lydia cherished as her teaching transitioned into administration and office work, in either a school setting or in a diocesan center. She loved to grow flowers and marveled at the beauty of nature.
Sister Lydia was predeceased by her parents, and her brother Ernest. She is survived by a brother, Everett, of Springfield, Massachusetts; and a sister, Dora Ward, of St. Johnsbury; by several nieces and nephews, by special niece, Robin Scarbeau of Essex Junction; and by her sisters in the religious community.

Karen Karnes
Karen Karnes, 90, a pioneer of the modern studio pottery movement, known for moving seamlessly between creating functional ware and complex, modernist sculptures, died July 12, at her home in Morgan.
Her death was announced by Ann Stannard, Ms. Karnes's life companion.
Today Ms. Karnes's life in art appears preordained. As a young student at Brooklyn College she studied with Serge Chermeyoff, who led her to Black Mountain College and Joseph Albers, then a year in Italy where she met Gio Ponti. She returned in 1950 to study under Charles Harder at Alfred University, and then back to Black Mountain where she became part of one the most important collective art communities of the twentieth century. It was there that Ms. Karnes first gained national attention for imbuing traditional forms with a minimalist design aesthetic. Each cup, bowl and casserole was unique, the previous one inspiring the next, while collectively being part of a singular exploration of form.
In 1954, Ms. Karnes left Black Mountain College with writer/artist MC Richards, pianist David Tudor, composer John Cage, and architect and patron Paul Williams and his wife, writer Vera Williams, to found the Gate Hill Cooperative outside of New York City. This "Black Mountain for adults" became Ms. Karnes's home for the next 25 years. While at Gate Hill, Ms. Karnes produced a series of press-molded and coiled architecturally-scaled planters, birdbaths, fireplaces, and chairs that announced her originality and creative ambition.
In 1967, at Gate Hill, Ms. Karnes built a salt kiln, a decision that would play a significant role reviving nationally this centuries old technique. From this point her work took off and she began to make some of the most iconic studio ceramics of the era: cut-lidded jars, large scale vases, bowls, moving away from more modest tableware. She said, "[Salt-glazing]…forced me into another place, and once the leap was made, I kept growing." Her well-known salt-glazed jars with their straightforward rising forms and striated facets of wire cuts on the top of the lids, are one of the longest and most personal explorations of a single form in the field. This model of studio production, in which a popular, iconic, and useful pot undergirds and supports more experimental and evolving bodies of work, is one that many studio potters have employed successfully since.
In the late 1970s, Ms. Karnes left Gate Hill for Vermont. Having moved with Ann Stannard, her companion of many years, Ms. Karnes began making some of her most ambitious work: larger thrown vessels and asymmetrical ones, coil-built over thrown bases. The pots often embraced color: blues, greens and yellows, subtly modified by the wood flame and ash. These works showed a new complexity, moving between commonplace polarities of pot/sculpture, landscape/body, male/female, spiritual/physical, and inside/outside. Several bodies of work followed: massive cut-lidded jars, pots with slits that ran up added hollow bases that might be larger than the body of the vessel itself, and forms with reaching "wings," also divided by slits. Additionally, she produced forms with added necks, tulipieres, and boulder-like shapes with craters, some open to the inside, some not.
During this period, Ms. Karnes showed at the Garth Clark Gallery in New York City, as well as other leading galleries such as Joanne Rapp, Habitat/Shaw, Ester Saks, and Leedy/Voulkos. She received multiple awards and honors over these years: a National Endowment for the Arts Visual Artist fellowship, The Society of Arts and Crafts (Boston) Medal of Excellence, the Vermont Arts Council Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts, the American Crafts Council's Gold Medal, and the Watershed Legends Award.
Her work was the subject of the retrospective exhibition A Chosen Path: The Ceramic Art of Karen Karnes that originated at Arizona State University Art Museum in 2011 and traveled to the Asheville Art Museum, the Currier Museum of Art, the Racine Art Museum and The Crocker Art Museum. Ms. Karnes's work is in the permanent collections of those five museums and many more including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the American Craft Museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Ms. Karnes's family, friends and neighbors — all are welcome — to join in on a celebration of her art and life on September 11, 2016 at the Unitarian Church (opposite the Irving gas station) in Derby Line, at 4 p.m. — submitted by Kurt Sundstrom and Mark Shapiro.
Scott W. Keysar, 73, died peacefully at his home in Derby early Friday morning in the loving arms of his wife, Sue.
He was born October 25, 1942, in Hartland, Maine, son of the late Berkeley and Marion (Parkman) Keysar (Alley). The family moved to Derby Line in 1948, where Mr. Keysar grew up on Main Street and was known and loved by everyone for his friendly and outgoing personality. His love of all sports began as a member of Doc Stuart's first Little League team. He was a baseball and basketball player in high school, a hockey goalie in middle age, and an avid Red Sox fan forever. Mr. Keysar graduated from Derby Academy in 1960 and Vermont Technical College in 1962 with a degree in highway engineering. He immediately commenced his career with the Vermont Agency of Transportation, and through his work at District 9, he developed close relationships with fellow employees and town officials. He was responsible for designing, constructing, and securing funding for many highway improvement projects throughout the Northeast Kingdom. Mr. Keysar retired in 2014 after 52 years.
Mr. Keysar met the love of his life, Susan Tetreault, of Newport Center, and they were married on September 30, 1978. They built a home together out of the woods in Derby, raised their sons Stephen and Jason, and enjoyed their many close friends and family members. Mr. Keysar was motivated to see his sons complete college, and find partners, and one of the greatest joys in his life was to spend time with his two grandchildren. Having done all this, may he rest in peace. Mr. Keysar is survived by his wife, Susan; sons Stephen and his wife, Phuong, and children Elliot and Lily of Aurora, Colorado, son Jason and his partner, Sara DeFilippi, of Brooklyn, New York; sister Nancy Porter and husband, Bruce, of Bonita Springs, Florida; and brother Steven Keysar and wife, Karlene, of South Hero. He is also survived by his sisters-in-law: Patricia Laber and her husband, Scott, of Derby, Margaret Derick and husband, Mike, of Newport; by brothers-in-law: Tom Tetreault and wife, Mary, of Newport Center, and Richard Tetreault and wife, Susan, of Newport Center.
Mr. Keysar was a beloved uncle to many nieces and nephews.
Friends may call on Friday July 29, 2016, at the Curtis-Britch-Converse-Rushford Funeral Home, 37 Lake Road, Newport from 9 to 11 a.m., followed by a celebration of his life at 11 a.m., with Pastor Glenn Saaman officiating. Should friends desire, contributions in his memory may be made to the Ronald Holland Dialysis Center, in care of North Country Hospital, 189 Prouty Drive, Newport, Vermont 05855.

Jeremy Michael Maxwell, 32, beloved son of Vanessa Raymond and Paul Maxwell, died on July 19, 2016, at his home in Coventry.
Born and raised in the Northeast Kingdom, Mr. Maxwell's passion for the outdoors was present in everything he did. An avid hunter and fisherman, he enjoyed being in nature and the woods, so it was only fitting that he worked his way up to becoming a foreman with Asplundh Tree Experts. His friends and family fondly remember a smile that never left his face, a kind and generous heart, and a palpable and genuine love for those who were lucky enough to have known him.
He is survived by his fiancé, the absolute love of his life, Katie Ste. Marie; his mother, Vanessa Raymond, and her fiancé, David Palmer; and his father, Paul Maxwell; by his treasured sister Torrie Maxwell, his rock, with whom he shared his soul, and her fiancé, Charles Sanville; by his brother and forever "bud" Brandon Maxwell, who learned and laughed by Jeremy's side, always looking up to his trusted brother and best friend; by his brothers Paul Maxwell Jr. and Jonah Kontoes; and his sister Ashley Maxwell; by his adored aunt Teresa La Porte and her husband, David; by his cousins: Shane, Tom, Michael, Jay, Jacob, and Linzy; by his nieces and nephews: Payson, Harlee, Bentley, Keagan, Harper, Hailey and Rayna; and by his dog, Remington. He was predeceased by his aunt Melissa Chamberlin and by his grandparents Roland and Estelle Raymond.
Should friends desire, and in lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to assist with funeral expenses. Donations can be mailed to: care of Vanessa Raymond, 363 Hugh Herron Road, Saranac, New York 12981.

Tom Nelson, 79, formerly of Albany and Irasburg, died peacefully on July 16, 2016, at Maple Lane Nursing Home where he had been a resident since May 23.
He was born in Albany, on July 2, 1937. He was the son of Allen and Marion (Hoyt) Nelson.
He attended elementary school in Albany and graduated from Craftsbury Academy in 1956. He dedicated his life to farming on the family farm in Albany until he retired on July 2, 1999.
Following his retirement, he lived for 13 years in Orleans before moving to The Meadows housing complex in Irasburg in December 2012.
During his earlier years, he enjoyed bowling, snowmobiling, tractor and horse pulls at the county fairs, woodworking, his "coffee club" at Bob's Quick Stop in Irasburg, and being outdoors. He will fondly be remembered for his easy going, good-natured personality, his integrity and honesty, and his quick, genuine smile.
Mr. Nelson never married or had children of his own, but experienced several special bonds and friendships with his hired hands who worked beside him on the farm, in particular his "right-hand men," Randy and Raymond Pierce, who have kept in touch with him over the past 30 years. He looked forward to their annual summer visits on their trips back to Vermont. He was also a special part of his nieces' families: Shelly Morey and her husband, Michael, of Newport; and Sonya Kittredge and her husband, Paul, of Albany. He enjoyed celebrating birthdays and holidays with them. Yankee Swaps will never be the same without him!
He is also survived by his brother Roger and his wife, Beatrice, of Derby Line; by his niece Beccy Hardy, and her husband, John, of Derby Line; by his nephews Scott Nelson of Coventry, Stacey Nelson of Essex, Bill Nelson of Lyndonville; and by several nieces and nephews from Washington State who traveled to Vermont and met him for the first time just three short weeks ago.
Mr. Nelson is also survived by his great-nephews: Benjamin Kittredge, Matthew Kittredge, Scott Nelson Jr., John Curtis Hardy, Thomas Hardy, and Cooper Nelson; great-nieces Tessa Nelson and Jenna Morey; and by his sister-in-law Janet Nelson of Albany.
He was predeceased by his parents; by his brother George Nelson in 2013; and by his sister Ruth Lamotte in 2014.
Donations in his memory can be made to Green Mountain Farm to School, 194 Main Street, Suite 301, Newport, Vermont 05855.

Scott E. Perkins, 44, of West Charleston, died in Lebanon, New Hampshire, on July 19, 2016, after a long illness.
He was born on September 14, 1971, in Newport, a son of Margaret (Bresse) Perkins and the late Gerald Perkins.
He graduated from North Country Union High School. At the age of 16, he started working in the maintenance department at North Country Hospital and rose to obtain the supervisor position. Mr. Perkins really appreciated his fellow workers and the concern that they showed through his illness. He and his companion, Anick, enjoyed going camping with the trailer, traveling to Maine, fishing, and snowmobiling. They also loved his motorcycle, four wheeling, and being with his friends. He would willingly lend a hand to anyone, enjoyed being a jokester, and spending a lot of time with his daughter, Emily, taking great pride in all of her many accomplishments, as she was the center of his life.
He is survived by his companion, Anick Desorcy; his daughter Emily Perkins; his mother, Margaret Perkins; his brother Steven Perkins and his wife, Cresta; by several aunts, uncles, and cousins; by his niece Maleighna; by his nephews: Tyson and Brock, and by grand-nephew Stephen. Mr. Perkins was predeceased by his sister Elizabeth, his father, Gerald, and by grandparents Ralph and Mable Perkins, and Ernest and Lucille Bresse.
Should friends desire, contributions in his memory may be made to the Mary Wright Halo Foundation, 1073 Upper Quarry Road, Newport, Vermont 05855.

Kenneth C. Pierce Jr., 90, of Newport, died on July 23, 2016, at North Country Hospital, with his loving family by his side.
He was born in St. Johnsbury on May 30, 1926, to Kenneth C. Pierce Sr. and Maude (Davis) Pierce. His mother passed away when he was five years old, and he was then raised by his father and stepmother, Ozilda "Rose" (Choquette) Pierce.
Mr. Pierce married Mary Jean Blake on May 15, 1948. To this union were born three children, who along with his loving wife of 68 years, survive him: Daniel Pierce and his wife, Cindy, of Mount Joy, Pennsylvania, Cathryn Comar and her husband, Jim, of East Dorset, and Susan Wright and her husband, Roy, of Derby. He is also survived by his grandchildren: Trish Pierce White, Jessup Pierce, Ryan Comar, Amy Comar Pickering, and Devan, Damen and Taylor Wright; along with eight great-grandchildren: Judah, Aliyah and Sarayah White, Jack Pierce, Lily Comar, Corbin Pickering, and Brody and Myles Wright. He is also survived by a sister, Penny Flood of Newport; and by a brother, David Pierce of Northfield, Massachusetts; and by numerous nieces and nephews.
Mr. Pierce was predeceased by his parents, and by two brothers, Ronald and Winthrop.
Prior to his marriage, Mr. Pierce served his country during World War II in the U.S. Army. He was part of the U.S. mainland Japan Assault Force, and was aboard a troop ship when the Japanese surrendered. He was then stationed in Nara, Japan, to help the Japanese people reorganize their lives following the war. Following the war, Mr. Pierce worked for the railroad for a short time, and tried his hand at owning his own log truck, which proved to be less than safe or profitable.
However, following his marriage to Ms. Blake, he still pursued his passion for trucking and drove the highways and byways of Vermont and New England for the majority of his life. He hauled grain for Eastern States Farmer's Exchange, hauled milk for Earl Hackett, and Nelson Farms, and then asphalt for Pike Industries in his later years. He was the first bulk tank milk driver hired by H.P. Hood Milk Company, and eventually became manager of their truck fleet in Newport. When Hood's sold their truck fleet, Mr. Pierce became a field man for Northern Farms Milk Coop until their closing. Needless to say, Mr. Pierce knew every road in Orleans County and beyond, and knew just about every farmer as well.
Mr. Pierce was also a volunteer fire fighter for the Newport City Fire Department and Ambulance Squad for many years, and was always out the door when the fire whistle blew or the "red phone" rang at the house. He was a member of the American Legion Post 21, and the United Church of Newport.
Mr. Pierce loved the outdoors and was an avid hunter and fisherman. He loved going to his deer camp on Bald Mountain every November, and spent many hours playing cribbage with his hunting buddies and father.
However, the pride of his life was his summer cottage on Lake Seymour where he and Mrs. Pierce spent every summer for the last 50 years. During his later years, he loved to sit on his front porch and watch the boats come and go. He especially loved it when his grandson and best friend, Ryan Comar, with whom he had a unique and special relationship, restored his old boat and would take him out on the lake fishing once again.
In his retirement, Mr. Pierce never forgot his community, donating many hours as a volunteer at North Country Hospital, and driving veterans back and forth from White River Junction in the Disabled American Veterans van. Mr. Pierce was very social and had the "gift of gab" and loved meeting and talking with anyone and everyone.
Mr. Pierce loved his family and will be greatly missed.
Friends may call from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 27 at the Curtis-Britch-Converse-Rushford Funeral Home, 4670 Darling Hill Road, in Newport.
Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 28 at the United Church of Newport. Interment will take place at 1:30 p.m. at the West Village Cemetary in West Charleston with full military honors.
Should friends desire, contributions in his memory may be made to the Mary Wright Halo Foundation, 1073 Upper Clyde Street, Newport, Vermont 05855, or to the United Church of Newport, Third Street, Newport, Vermont 05855.
Online condolences may be made at curtis-britch.com.
Laurette A. Woodworth, 72, of North Troy, died on July 20, 2016, in Newport.
She was born on April 12, 1944, in Jay. She was the daughter of Ernest and Beatrice (Voyer) Mayhew.
Ms. Woodworth was a wonderful cook, always reading cookbooks and trying new recipes. She also loved doing word search puzzles, enjoyed her cats, and cared for her yard.
She is survived by her brothers Raymond Mayhew and his wife, Debbie, of North Troy, and Marcel Mayhew and his wife, Kathy, of Jay; by her sister Mary Jane LaPan of Jay; and also by numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved to visit with.
She was predeceased by her parents, and by her husband, Glover Woodworth.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Ms. Woodworth's name to her sister Mary Jane LaPan, P.O. Box 85, North Troy, Vermont 05859, to help defray expenses.

Finite Element Methods and Equivalent Electrical Models for Loudspeaker Characterization.
Current research into electroacoustics tends to determine the global transfert function between an initial electrical signal and the acoustical signal supplied at the ear. Because electrodynamic transducers radiate in a large frequency bandwidth, lumped parameter model such as Thiele and Small's is not sufficient to provide a realistic simulation of the vibro-acoustic behaviour of the system. This study proposes the use of Finite Element and Boundary Element Methods to compute a complex 3D response of a loudspeaker for each mechanical modes and then synthesize an equivalent electrical model that takes into account acoustical coupling between all modes.

The Arena Football League is facing financial pressures that could force the league to dissolve, according to a number of newspaper reports.
The Denver Post, citing two unnamed sources "with knowledge of the league's troubles," said the league could dissolve if it doesn't secure financing by Dec. 19.
"The business model for the league is broken," Michael Young, Colorado Crush executive vice president, told the Denver Post. "If the rug is pulled out from under us, it's pulled out from under us."
On Friday, the AFL issued a statement which said: "The AFL is working on long-term structural improvements which have unfortunately delayed some important events, such as the release of the 2009 schedule, the Dispersal Draft, and the beginning of free agency. We thank our fans for their enthusiasm for these events and ask them to be patient a little longer while we finalize our long-term improvements. All AFL teams are working toward winning ArenaBowl XXIII."
Phil Simon, director of communications with the San Jose SaberCats, told ESPN.com's Liz Merrill they've gotten a lot of calls from fans and season-ticket holders asking "Is there going to be a season?"
"Right now, we're in a push to renew season tickets," Simon said, "and people are not willing to put down money if they don't know if we're going to have a season.
"We tell them that we're proceeding business as usual. That there will be a season and we will be playing."
On Saturday, the Columbus Dispatch reported that two players said they had received text messages warning them that the league was in jeopardy.
"We're supposed to find out sometime [Friday night] whether we're even going to have a league anymore," Michael Landry, a free agent who played for the Columbus Destroyers last season, told the Dispatch. "From what I know, the league's in trouble."
"I've heard it, but I hear that every year," Destroyers receiver Derek Lee told the Dispatch. "I hear it's a little more serious this year than in previous years. I'm worried, but I can't let it take over. I just have to hope for the best."
Larrell Johnson, an offensive lineman for the Kansas City Brigade, told Merrill that he has heard that there is a "50-50 chance" that they will play this year.
"A lot of uncertainty going on right now," he said. "It's been really frustrating. You don't know what you're going to do or what's going to happen. We're sitting here teetering on [whether] we're going to play or fold."
Johnson said he's at least lucky to have a Plan B. He's a store manager at a Dollar General in Kansas City.
"But for the guys relying on this as their main job, it's not really fair to them," he added. ""I always have a backup plan because you never know what could happen. This offseason has really proven that."
In October, New Orleans VooDoo Owner Tom Benson told the AFL he planned to fold his team. Benson, who also owns the New Orleans Saints, owned a team which hosted the last two ArenaBowls and led the league in attendance in 2007 at 16,645 per game. The team was fifth last year with an average of 14,321.
David Baker, the league's commissioner for the past 12 years, resigned in July, two days before the ArenaBowl. The league began play in 1987.
Baker's replacement has not been named.
Earlier, a statement from the AFL said that the league is looking at a number of ways to structure the league going forward. "Ultimately, owners will vote on the best of numerous options, which could include traditional incremental growth or a nine-figure infusion of capital from a blue-chip investment group," the statement read.
The league's games were televised nationally by ESPN, which also has a partial ownership stake in the league.
"We have always admired the AFL's fan-first philosophy, but we have no comment on their business activity," ESPN said in a statement.

Separation of Repeating and Varying Components in Audio Mixtures
A large amount of modern pop music contains digital "loops" or "samples" (short audio clips) that appear multiple times during a song. In this paper, a novel approach to separating these exactly repeating component waveforms from the rest of an audio mixture is presented. By examining time-frequency representations of the mixture during several instances of a single repeating component and taking the complex value for each time-frequency bin with the smallest magnitude across all instances we can effectively extract the content which is perceived to be repeating given that the rest of the mixture varies sufficiently. Results are presented demonstrating successful application to commercially available recordings as well as to constructed audio mixtures achieving signal to interference ratios up to 42.6 dB.

Sound Card--HP Pavilion dv6
Hello, I've recently been redesigning my room and I decided to get a surround sound for gaming purposes.
I was reading reviews and some say the:
Logitech X-540 speakers (http://www.geek.com/articles/xyzcomputing/logitech
are not compatible with laptops whereas other say they are. Other reviews also say that the matrix function solves most of this, but I was wondering if I would be able to get the full 5.1 surround sound with this laptop. Regarding the sound card, that is the one thing I am most unsure about. Would it suffice? The sound card is the default from the HP online store.
Also, if my sound card does not suffice, is there a way I /could/ get it to work? If possible, please link me to a solution.
Thanks in advance!
Re: Sound Card--HP Pavilion dv6
I can't help but did you find a solution?
Re: Sound Card--HP Pavilion dv6
I believe the only way to get Dolby Surround Sound out of the DV6 is via the HDMI port. The DV6 does not have surround sound connections otherwise. You would need a Surround Sound Receiver that has HDMI inputs.
Now I have the DV6 and a Sony Surround Receiver with HDMI inputs, but I cannot see any surround sound settings in my DV6 while the HDMI is active. The HDMI sound properties only show 2 stereo channels enabled while the HDMI is active (it will be all grayed out when HDMI is not connected). I came to the support site looking for answers to this problem.

Principles of Microeconomics - With Access / Edition 9by Karl E. Case

"Are you tired of books that sacrifice clarity by introducing some of the complexities of economic theory too early?"
Case/Fair/Oster, believe that the best way to understand how market opportunities operate and the best way to understand basic economic theory is to work through the perfectly competitive model first, including discussions of output markets, input markets (land, labor & capital), and the connections between them, before turning to noncompetitive market structures, such as monopolies and oligopolies. When students understand how a simple perfectly competitive system works, they can start thinking about how the pieces of the economy fit together. Learning perfect competition first enables students to see the power of the market system. It is impossible to discuss the efficiency of markets as well as the problems that arise from markets until students have seen how a simple, perfectly competitive market system produces good and services.
Reviewers tell us that Case/Fair is one of the all-time bestselling POE texts because they trust it to be clear, thorough and complete. This well-respected author team is joined for the 9th edition by a new co-author, Sharon Oster. Sharon's research and teaching experience brings new coverage of modern topics and an applied approach to economic theory, as demonstrated in the new Economics in Practice feature.

Czech Berdych recorded his fifth win in eight matches over Federer, triumphing 3-6 7-6 6-4 while top seed Djokovic beat Juan Martin del Potro 6-3 7-6.
Djokovic and Federer have claimed eight of the past 10 Dubai titles between them and the 5,000 capacity crowd were urging the world's top two to win through under the floodlights.
Serb Djokovic obliged in the first semi but a tired Federer fell short, losing at the semi-finals stage of the tournament for the first time in eight appearances.
"I couldn't have a better feeling than this one, coming from court playing Roger almost in front of his home crowd," Berdych said.
The Swiss went into the match with an 11-5 winning record against the world number six, although the Czech had been victorious in four of their past seven meetings, including at Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.
Federer broke in the first set when Berdych slugged a whipped forehand from mid-court into the net for a 5-3 lead. He sealed the set with a second set ace.
The Swiss surged from 5-2 down in the second, but then fluffed three match points in the tiebreak before Berdych forced a deciding set with a bludgeoned return winner.
In the final set, two miscued forehands and a double fault from Federer gave Berdych two break points at 2-2.
The Swiss saved the first with an ace, but skewed another forehand wide to fall 3-2 behind and Berdych served out the match.
"I leave this match with a lot of regrets," Federer said. "The match was in my racket. You do all the right things for so long and then at the end you've got to explain why you didn't hit two shots decent."
Earlier, Djokovic extended his winning streak to 17 matches by beating Del Potro 6-3 7-6.
Djokovic, unbeaten since October in a run that includes a third straight Australian Open title, eventually proved too much for a defiant Del Potro.
The Serbian had breezed through the opening three rounds without dropping a set but Del Potro - the only man outside of the men's 'big four' to win a Grand Slam since 2005 - was a different prospect.
The former U.S. Open champion squandered a 3-0 second-set lead only to then break back when Djokovic was serving for the match at 5-4 up in the second, with the Argentine forcing a tiebreak.
Djokovic ultimately triumphed, a forehand winner from mid-court the only point in the tiebreak going against serve.
"His serve is very powerful, his forehand from the back of the court he can do anything with - I needed to stay in it when I was a break down," Djokovic said in a courtside interview.
"I played a poor game when I needed to close it out but he's a great player, so it was always going to be challenging."
The three-time Dubai champion did not start with his usual fluency but he improved as the sun set and the temperature fell.
Djokovic claimed the first break point with Del Potro serving at 2-3, the Argentine drifting a forehand long from mid-court.
The Serbian seized the chance, pushing his opponent wide with an angled drive that found Del Potro wanting and went 4-2 up.
Djokovic dictated play from the baseline, exploiting every short ball and finding angles that had the towering Del Potro scrambling in vain to counter and he sealed the first set in 35 minutes.
Djokovic is a crowd favourite but the Argentines in the stands, dressed in the national team's colours, cheered their man's every point, chanting his name at end-changes.
That seemed to inspire him and he held to love in the second set's opening game before going 0-40 up in the next.
Djokovic saved the first two break points with successive aces but the third saw him drag a cross-court backhand wide to fall 2-0 behind.
Serving at 3-1, Del Potro scuffed a backhand into the net to give Djokovic a break point.
Preparing to serve, Del Potro was given a time violation which was met with a cacophony of boos from the stands. When the point was played, the Argentine mis-hit to gift a break back.
Djokovic raced into a 5-3 lead, faltered, then showed his class to book a place in his fourth Dubai final in five years.

I'm not familiar with your religious background, however if it is of a Christian tradition I would urge you to pray for the shooter too. Jesus said to love our enemies, and to be honest I think the kind of personthat would go and indiscriminately fire on innocent individuals who are also colleagues and friends is actually in need of more prayer than the victims; in the sense that he is a lot further from God than any of them. It is of course good to remember Jesus reaction to his Roman killers "Forgive them father for they do not know what they do" or to remember that the Apostle Paul was a mass-murderer of Christians before his experience on the Damascus road.

Firstly have you read the Qur'ān? For the record I have read the entire thing. I would say it is always very inadvisable to form opinions based on commentaries and the thoughts, opinions and conjecture of others. Especially if it is based off information from websites, which are frankly often questionable in their content, academic publications are far more useful. The Qur'ān can be seen to teach many things, the above is one such belief, widely held by many Muslim's but not a universal belief; like Christianity, Islam has many sects and "denominations" despite a Muslim's claim of them being united.
Originally Posted by

Jihad Watch
is one of the sites I regularly visit.)
Firstly, having briefly reviewed that website, I would advise the content is very questionable. Second reading the Qur'ān is a very complicated affair as it says very different things in different portions; the Meccan revelations are very different in tone and attitude to Christians and Jews to the Median revelations.
The Meccan Sura, are generally much more positive towards Christians and Jews, calling the former "men of the book" to be consulted on matters of faith. However the Median Sura, which followed Muḥammad's rejection by Christians and Jews are much more aggressive to those of none Muslim faith which calls for them to be killed by the Sword; so it depends which part of the Qur'ān you accept as to your attitude to non-believers if you are a Muslim.
Originally Posted by

The action of a religions followers, I don't think define a religion as peaceful or violent. It's hardly as if Christianity has a wonderful past; general Islamic attitudes were much more acceptive towards Christianity until the Crusades, and indeed all through the Middle Ages, Muslims treated the Jewish far better than the Christians did. More over Christian Conquistadors battered Inca infants heads in to kill them to guarantee them a place in heaven! If you say they aren't real Christians, cannot the same be said for Muslim terrorists?
That said, I confess, I am not a fan of Islam, but I think this the most complex of matters which is far too often simplified and stereotyped. I think we would do well to remember that the Islamic terrorists, have killed far more of their "fellow Muslims" than they have Westerners.
In the end returning this back to the subject of the Gun man, there are many Muslims in the US Armed Forces who faithfully serve their country, and it would be a shame to tarnish them with the same brush as the evil done by Major Malik Nadal Hasan. Again our thoughts must go out to the victims, and I dare say the family of Major Hasan, it must be a terrible thing to have a relative do such evil things.

Corner tap, quick…..they have satellite!
My TV never responds no matter how loudly I holler.
But there's no basket! It's just a hoop and a net….I have a friend named Annette, and she wears hoop ear rings….I'd rather watch her….
Wow, Janis is reading a real book…figured her for a Kindle gal.
(NCAA…go GREEN!)
He had them on the strawberries
Same as last year?
They went!
Go White!
Arlo apperars to have been flagged.
Rudy and I are patiently waiting for the NFL draft….
Originally, the hoop and net was a peach basket. That only lasted a year; but, for the first 10 years, you still had to climb up and retrieve the ball, after a goal was scored.
I have a UPS power back up for my satellite Internet link. My laptop fends for itself. I haven't bought a UPS for the satellite TV yet. :-)
Get rid of cable and get Directv. Unless it's storming HARD outside, you'll never have it go out.
Basketball started with baskets Varnes, usually peach baskets instead of hoops and nets. The ball had to be retrieved by ladder after each score. Of course a lot of games ended up 10-6 or something like that. Basketball players are also still called cagers at times because at first they played inside a caged floor.
I got rid of Directv mainly because of their stupid commercials. Also because of the fact every time it rains hard it goes off, and if the lights flicker on and off once, it takes 10-15 minutes to get back on the air. Back to cable for me.
We are dependent on the electron. If we lose it we lose much. A book doesn't need a power source and will never go out. A kindle will.
Go green make paper out of hemp—naturally not acidic.

Apparently so, but at least I'm genuinely a fan and want to see them succeed, not fatten my wallet.Ideally in a perfect world someone like that would come along soon..
We really should have took Steve Morgan up on his offer when he bid a good few years ago. He was and is still a genuine Liverpool fan. We may not have the financial clout of city of chavski but but we would be on a stable financial footing and I very much doubt he would have put any debt against the club.He's now involved with Wolves I believe.

pretty architecture and splendid capture.
Greetings Micha
Hi Micha.Many thanks for your kind comment. Something above Levoča city... Present day Levoča is an urban cultural historical reservation. It was founded in the middle of 13th century, after the Tatars raided the local lands. Successively it became the most important town in the Spiš region. Since 1271 it had been a seat of local self-government of 24 Spiš towns. The town is rich with historical gothic and renaissance buildings. Levoča was a cultural center of the Reformation processes in Slovakia. A printing plant had operated in Levoča since 1624. During anti-Habsburg uprisings in the 17th century, the town was on the decline.
Hello Janko,
thanks for your informations. I think it's a very historic city.
Best wishes Micha
Hi Micha.Levoča, with a number of its historical monuments, is one of the most important towns in Slovakia historically. In the historical center, you will find more than 50 gothic, renaissance and early-baroque houses of nobles with arcade interior courtyards. The original town walls from the 14th and 15th century still remained preserved around the town center and they are about 2 km long. Several towers, bastions, and Košická and Menhardtovská town gates have been reconstructed.
Very nice photo!
Thank you, Igor, for the good words. Warm wishes.JANKO
Good picture. Best of "Panoramio"! Greetings from Hungary
Nice pictures, Greetings from serbia.

This is Leda, she is one of oldest characters and she changed appearance several times. I like how she looks now and her long green hair <3
She has a very sad story, but now she is not involved in our RP. So I'll just say that she was kidnapped by Sat, who made her his wife. He loved her for her beauty, for the harmony which she brings wherever appearing. But unfortunately she could not give him an heir. This was not her fault - none of Sat's concubines also could not do this.
Because of this, Sat stopped loving Leda and stopped spend time with her. His castle turned in a golden cage to her, where it is impossible to escape.
You may order "Monochrome passions II" Artbook in our Shop.
Other work with Leda:
Such a Beautifully Drawn Leda. Will we see any stories about Leda and Sat's Background?
I love the colors
Beautiful! *-----*
aww the colors, i like this one so much ^-^
Because she has green hair and flowers grow out of it, I can't help but think her hair is actually really long grass. Speaking of, she looks like Sif with green hair, I mean they almost have the same face.

DENVER (AP) -- A Denver television news anchor who was bitten by a dog on live TV is planning to return to work next week.
Kyle Dyer of KUSA-TV was bitten in the face by an 85-pound Argentine mastiff last month while doing a segment with the dog's owner and a firefighter who had rescued the pet from an icy pond.
She received 90 stitches and the station says she plans to return to work on Monday.
Dyer called the incident an accident and says she's glad the dog is home after spending 10 days in mandatory quarantine.

February 08, 2002By DOUG McMURDO A man who was seriously injured by a tiger at a southern Pahrump residence on Nov. 2 has named Nye County as one of three defendants in a lawsuit filed last month. Plaintiff Roger Ganrud also named Paul Mason and Annette Grabowski in his complaint, and alleges the pair was negligent when Mason allowed Ganrud to feed the animals.
Nye sued over tiger biteCounty failed to act after being notified big cat had bitten human earlier, suit alleges
Grabowski allegedly owns the tigers and Mason is accused of allowing Ganrud in close contact with the "inherently dangerous animals" when his are was bitten and severely injured. Ganrud attorney Craig K. Perry on Thursday said Nye County was named because authorities had been put on notice the tigers had bitten a human prior to the incident involving Ganrud.
Perry said Ganrud's medical bills exceed $160,000, which included required re-constructive surgery, but he doesn't think his client will get anywhere near that figure in damages.
In compliance with Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure, Ganrud seeks compensation in excess of $10,000, but the county's exp

Jewellery salvaged from the wreck of the
Titanic will go on display later this week, the
company that owns the artifacts says.
The 15 items, including pendants, rings and a pocket watch,
will first be exhibited in Atlanta from November 16 through
January 6, and they will later be on display in Orlando and
Las Vegas, through May of next year, Atlanta-based Premier
Exhibitions said.
The jewellery includes diamonds, sapphires and pearls, said
Alexandra Klingelhofer, vice president of collections for
Atlanta-based RMS Titanic Inc., a subsidiary of Premier
RMS was first to recover artifacts from the Titanic
and has the legal right to anything salvaged there,
Klingelhofer told Reuters.
Many of the jewellery pieces, recovered from the wreck in
1987, were found in a leather bag that had likely been in the
care of a ship's purser, an employee responsible for handling
money and other valuables, Klingelhofer said.
The purser likely removed the jewelry from a safe on the
Titanic as the ship was sinking and placed them in leather
bags so that he could return them to their owners after the
rescue, she added.
"But there were no pursers that were rescued," Klingelhofer
The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912 after hitting an
iceberg in the north Atlantic Ocean.

Empathy has for a long time been recognized to play a crucial role in ethics and moral psychology, even though its precise contribution is still under dispute. Especially in the 18th century philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment attributed to 'sympathy' - understood as the capacity to 'put oneself in another's place' - a central role for the foundation of morality. Other theorists, though, have been more skeptical about the contribution of empathy to explaining fundamental moral ideas and norms, and there are similar debates about the relative importance of empathy with regard to the explanation of moral learning and the internalization of moral norms.
Keynote speakers:
Professor Robert Miles (University of Victoria)
Professor Roger Luckhurst (Birkbeck – University of London)
Professor Tanya Krzywinska (Falmouth University)

Chapter proposals are invited for an edited collection tentatively titled Representing the Other Half: Essays on Poverty in American Popular Culture (under contract with McFarland). The volume will seek to interrogate the ways in which poverty has been depicted (and/or ignored) across a variety of media, including but not limited to fiction, non-fiction, poetry, film, photography, painting, music, radio, etc.
Questions to be considered, among others: When, why, and how do producers of popular culture represent and/or ignore poverty? How do those representations influence the idea of poverty in the American cultural imaginary? In turn, how does that imaginary interact with policy? What role might the scholar/critic play in this process?
Call for papers: Collection of Essays on 21st-Century British Fiction & the City
I am seeking contributions by scholars from any relevant discipline to an edited collection focusing on 21st-Century British fiction's engagement with the city or urban environment. Once the collection is finalized, it will be submitted to and peer-reviewed by a press that has indicated interest.
The deadline for submission of a 750-1000 word abstract is November 16, 2015. Send your submission electronically to firstname.lastname@example.com along with a brief C.V.

On the surface, notoriety, visuality and celebrity culture oversaturate the information age. But what insidious formations lurk beneath the glossy surface? Faceless monsters dwell behind black screens—paradoxically both numbing factories of the masses and liberating tools of the dispossessed. Does this anonymity transform us into voiceless dolls that preserve the misogynistic power structures or grant us power through simulated online versions of ourselves. While menacing conglomerates practice institutionalized discrimination and witless pariahs face the backlash, moralized hackers expose hidden weaknesses that often bring those responsible to light.

Opinion pieces on the foodservice equipment and supplies industry from leaders and laymen from all aspects of the business, including dealers, distributors, design consultants and multi-unit operators.
While 2012 has been an up and down year, it seems as if the restaurant industry is poised to finish strong if the U.S. Commerce Department's November sales results are any indication.
Job growth is critical for the foodservice industry to continue to grow. So the fact that the Bureau of Labor Statistics' November jobs report showed a decline in unemployment is a good thing, right? Not when it means there are fewer people in the workforce. So foodservice will continue to ride the wave of emotion that accompanies the foggy labor outlook.
The good news is that the business environment is expected to improve in 2013. The bad news is that foodservice operators face no shortage of challenges heading into next year.
While Gross Domestic Product increased the National Restaurant Association's Restaurant Performance Index slipped into contraction mode. Much like the overall U.S. economy, it seems as if the foodservice industry will continue to ride this roller coaster for a while.
Given that we are more connected than ever and as well informed as we have ever been, are trade associations still relevant in today's foodservice industry?
In many ways it is ironic that in this issue we explore the future of foodservice design consultants. That's because in this issue we also remember design consultant Jim Webb who passed away far too early in late October. It was out of several conversations with Jim that we decided to make this article part of our December issue.
Customer visits are up but check averages are down at casual dining establishments. So what does this all mean for the foodservice industry? This Week In Foodservice tries to make sense of it all.
With many people very jittery about the state of the overall economy, many observers are wondering about the impact of Hurricane Sandy on the foodservice industry. This Week In Foodservice sheds some light on the subject and takes a closer look at a variety of industry-related economic indicators.
Hurricane Sandy tested the resilience of the economy, foodservice operators and more.
As economists continue to assess the impact of Hurricane Sandy, there's still plenty of economic news to report that impacts the foodservice industry, as noted in this edition of This Week In Foodservice. We also take a look at what one analyst has to say about the potential outcomes of the general election.

I'd pay Frank to shoot pit bulls. I know he likes shooting dogs, and it's a new source of revenue.
Frank, you know where to reach me.
I'll bet they could make a up the difference in no time if they started running ads from escort services and massage parlors.
Print revenue is down. So are sales of VCRs. Online revenue (while still a small portion of the business) is growing rapidly.
All newspapers are going down in revenue. this isn't an exclusive to The Seattle Times. At least they are being proactive.
Oh my God, that's so funny.
It's not really a scoop. Employees knew about this earlier. And it's not just dailies. The Stranger box outside my building has lots of copies spilling out of the box and onto the sidewalk because there are no takers.
This is what you get when you post a neoconservative rag in a liberal town.
The market ain't interested.
Capitalism owes no one a free ride, least of all the Blethens or their comrade GWB.
What, are you waiting for more comments? This story was boring yesterday, and it's boring today.
I'm glad you bumped this up so that I could read it twice. It's like they need 12 million now.
@8, naw, he's just got to take the obligatory daily shot at the Times, and this was the best he could manage today.
i dropped the Times for the PI a year ago, and i'm about to drop the PI because it sucks just as bad.
i'd miss the mayhem reporting, though.
Reposted because...? Oh, I get it now: Josh figures, "Hey they'll be so desperate to get someone in there who will work for $30K a year that they'll actually consider hiring me! Big time, here I come!"
See, Josh actually buys this myth that America still has a middle class, that's his prob, @12.
It's easier to read the comics page and the classified ads in a real newspaper.
It's nicer to not have to take the online version down to the recycling bin, though.

Criminal Defense Attorney
The Clurt has some discretion here but has the authority to impose the maximum. Additionally, if you are still serving your sentence for the DUI, you are facing a potential for additional jail time. You need to retain an experienced criminal defense attorney and stop driving.
Personal Injury Lawyer
It will depend on the Court's decision
DUI / DWI Attorney
As an ungraded misdemeanor, it will depend on your prior record. In Dauphin County, charges like this rarely receive incarceration, however, house arrest is an available option.
If you had a BAC above a .02 while driving, the court has much less discretion.
It is imperative that you speak with a local DUI defense attorney, such as myself to advise you appropriately.

All three of my colleagues have answered your question correctly. However, to be honest, based upon the premise that this is your third offense, you are not offering the judge many viable options.

The Other Side of the Altar
Paul E. Dinter
Farrar, Straus \& Giroux, $23, 240 pp.
In times of crisis, effective leaders understand the urgent need for honesty and candor, for the kind of truth telling that allows for healthy, creative responses. They steel themselves to hear truths and face realities they may well prefer to avoid. Often the urgency of the crisis overrides the instinctive denial of realities too painful to face and voices too disturbing to hear. It is one of the graces of crisis that truth telling unfetters the imagination and offers hope and direction.
In the present church crisis, Paul Dinter emerges as a significant truth teller. The Other Side of the Altar may well shake loose a constricted ecclesial imagination and contribute to the kind of honest dialogue that remains a vital step in moving through and beyond the present morass.
The storm now engulfing the church and its priests and bishops has been building for decades. Yet during these years of restless turmoil, many church leaders appeared indifferent to the experiences, joys, and struggles of both the lower clergy and the people in the pews. One would think that bishops would search for ways to tap into the lived experience of the men and women, husbands and wives, parents and grandparents who remain the backbone of the U.S. Catholic faithful. And one would think that bishops would be eager to meet with their priests and ask sincerely and honestly, "What is your life really like? Tell me about your joys and...
