Five of the six public schools in Taylor County need improvement, according to the state's new testing system.
The first results from the system, a state-mandated overhaul of how school districts are measured, were released on Friday.
And since the test scores are part of an entirely new testing system, school officials say they can't be compared to previous scores, but tell the district where they need to improve.

18906 Shepherdstown Pike
The Antietam Early Banjo Gathering (also known as the Early American Banjo Conference) is the premier event for enthusiasts and scholars of the 19th century banjo music and culture. The conference, held at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum on the Antietam National Battlefield, raises awareness of the early banjo's significance in the development of American popular music. It also underscores music's importance in the lives of Civil War soldiers.
The event is a truly unique forum for both experts and novices to meet and share knowledge, playing technique, and passion for banjo history and its meaning in the 21st century. Each year, the conference brings dozens of people–researchers, collectors, musicians, and instrument builders–from across the nation to participate in workshops, jam sessions, and scholarly lectures. The gathering takes place in and around an 1840s threshing barn on the Antietam National Battlefield, lending an appropriate setting and atmosphere that is at once scholarly and casual.
The banjo gathering features five different program sessions throughout the weekend. Presenters on each day talk or demonstrate on a wide range of subjects, including instrument construction, playing techniques, music, history, and other topics closely tied to the culture of the early American banjo. The conference's schedule allows ample time for "jam sessions" and mentoring with some of the nation's most experienced players.
The cost of registration for the Sixth Antietam Early American Banjo Gathering is $60. The museum will provide a continental breakfast and lunch on Saturday and Sunday. Participants are encouraged to stay overnight on the Pry House property, either in the threshing barn or in period or modern tents on the grounds. Camping overnight is encouraged, but hotel accommodations are available in nearby Hagerstown, MD.
Registration opens at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum on Friday afternoon. Formal sessions begin on Saturday morning and conclude with a public concert given in or near the Pry Barn at 5:15PM. Formal sessions resume on Sunday morning and the event concludes with a public performance at the Dunker Church on the Antietam Battlefield in the early afternoon. As a part of the gathering, registered participants are invited perform in the public concerts. While participation in either concert is purely voluntary, attendees are encouraged to share. Each performance gives participants an opportunity to play publicly with well-respected musicians in very unique and special venues.

Photo essay: The stunning beauty of Chihuly at the Arboretum
Photo: Tom Fox/Staff Photographer
Over the summer staff photographer Tom Fox began trying alternative methods of shooting photos by using the iPhone, Lytro's light field camera and the new Canon Mark III 5D. The ongoing Chihuly exhibit at the Dallas Arboretum is a great fit for this kind of experimentation. This is Chihuly's Mirrored Hornets, photographed with an iPhone using the Hipstamatic app.

Immigration bill would be mistake
Published: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 2:46 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, July 2, 2013 at 2:46 p.m.
I have to disagree with the letter written recently by Jimmy Burland, "Time is now for immigration bill."
The letter writer can quote targeted statistics until the cows come, but amnesty did not work in the past, and it will not work today.
The organizations he refers to in his letter have vested interests in seeing 11 million undocumented residents become citizens. In addition, the percentages of Louisianans he says support this bill's citizenship giveaway mean nothing. One can get the results one desires by polling known areas of support for one's cause.
There is a path already on the books on how one immigrates to our country and can become a citizen. To grant citizenship to these people who cut in line ahead of the law-abiding immigrants is a slap in the face to those who follow the law and wait through the process. It also sets a destructive precedent that will attract more undocumented residents.
Furthermore, the letter writer should know that the U.S. Constitution requires that all bills for raising revenue originate in the House, but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments. This senate bill is not an amendment to an existing house bill, so on that point alone, this bill is DOA in the house.
If, in the event the so-called "Gang of Eight" were able to find a way around that, thank God we have a Republican majority in the House who will see to it this bill never so much as makes it to the floor for a vote.

Racist, greedy and Uninformed voters cast pall on America
Many people disagree with the policies of President Obama. Thankfully for the country, they represent less than 50 percent of the voters.
However, in the aggregate, they are creative and persistent in their opposition. Unfortunately, too many base their opposition on something separate from reason, logic and fact. I put this opposition into three categories: low information, racism and greed.

Uninformed: If they paid any attention to what Obama did and stood for in his first 4 years, they would never have voted for him or any of the Democrats in congress. Particularly regarding Obamacare, which "had to be passed to find out what was in it" and are now doing so, much to their dismay with its many surprises and numerous hidden tax increases. No new taxes on anyone earning less then ______(pick your number) - well NOT so, everyone who has a job has had their taxes increased. Anyone who needs a medical device is paying an additional tax on it. Anyone who itemizes deductions now has their exclusion for a medical deduction raised from 7.5% to 10% - effectively a tax increase. And the list goes on.
Racism: Of course there is no racism involved in 97-99% of blacks voting for Obama, or in some districts of Chicago where the white candidate got not a single vote.
Greed: Are you telling me that government union workers vote primarily Democrat because they don't care about maintaining their lavish pay and benefits (which exceed those in the private sector by 30-49%) and are granted to them by union coddling Democrats, and because they are not greedy? And really, welfare, SNAP and Section 8 housing recipients, voted Democrat because they want to get off the government dole and become independent, productive workers? And that the unemployed voted for Obama so they would not get additional weeks of unemployment compensation?
Yes, indeed, you got everything backwards! Sadly somehow you are unable to see that, perhaps because you are uninformed, racist and greedy? "

Progressive tax?? Though I don't agree with it. Sure, as long as EVERYONE pays something. 50% pay nothing and actually receive payment from the government for being less successful. Why not either a flat tax. (everyone pays the same %) Or my preference, EVERYONE pays the same amount as we all use the same services.
And BTW I'm not so sure most of us voted for Obama. The numbers in the swing states like Ohio were wrong. Entire voting districts where Romney got not one single vote? hmm Our elections are no more legit than in Venezuela. "

BROOMFIELD - The plan worked in the first half. It did not in the second half.
And the Vail Christian boys basketball's dream of a 1A state title died in the semifinals Friday afternoon with a 61-50 loss to McClave at the 1stBank Center in Broomfield.
Vail Christian will play Caliche today at 2 p.m. in the third-place game here.
"We put ourselves in position," Saints coach Sheldon Kuhns said. "We just didn't finish the deal."
Meet Cody Canfield
McClave's Cody Canfield was the focus of all of Vail Christian's attention, and with good reason. The Cardinals senior is 6-feet-5 and one of the best players at this convention of Class 1A's elite. After Vail Christian's win Thursday over Fleming in the quarterfinals, the Saints watched McClave knock off Holly, 63-35, with Canfield dropping a whopping 36 points on that set of Wildcats.
With the Cardinals seemingly looking to No. 24 on every possession Thursday, the Saints decided to throw the kitchen sink at Canfield, essentially daring anyone else in Cardinals' red to beat them. Saints senior Kevin Boselli was the primary defender Friday, but every time the ball went into Canfield, especially in the first half, two extra Vail Christian blue shirts seemed to be there as well.
"It tough. It was real tough," Canfield said. "We had some guys come in and do some great things for us on the outside. That's the toughest defensive scheme any team's thrown at me all year long. It was hard."
In the first half, Vail Christian held Canfield to six points and the teams were tied at 24 at intermission. In the third quarter, Canfield showed why he is a contender for the 1A Player of the Year Award with 11 of his game-high 22 points. With a major assist going to McClave sophomore guard Tayor Geisinger, the Cardinals outscored the Saints, 17-4, in that period as McClave pulled away.
The Cardinals started the second half with their guards attempting 3s to ease the Saints' pressure on Canfield inside. Nonetheless, Canfield corralled one of those attempts and put it back for the first bucket of the third quarter.
Canfield went 3-for-4 from the line and then started to rampage in the paint with a layup for a 31-26 lead as well as two big blocks on Vail Christian offensive possessions.
With 3:05 left in the third, Geisinger delivered the help outside the Cardinals so dearly needed. The sophomore hit a 3 from the top of the arc and was fouled for a four-point play.
"Taylor came into the game and knocked some big, big shots for us," Canfield said. "He hit that (four-point play) ... in the third. I'm glad he went off."
As if to put an exclamation point on things, Canfield dropped an 18-footer from outside just to show a bit of versatility.
"He is a handful to guard, but we expected that," Kuhns said. "What we didn't expect was the supporting cast to get as hot as they did. No. 11 (Geisinger) really hurt us. That's a good basketball team."
In the meantime, McClave also changed up defensively bringing up its guards on its perimeter defense to stymie the Saints.
"To be honest a lot of the reason we had to get out to them was because they were shooting too well," McClave coach Shawn Randel said. "We just couldn't give them any space at all. They dictated that we had to do that or we'd get beat."
When the dust settled at the end of the third, McClave led Vail Christian, 41-28. The Cardinals extended their lead to as much as 15 points during the fourth quarter, however, the Saints (19-5) keep fighting to the bitter end. It didn't help that Vail Christian had several key players in foul trouble.
"We dug too deep of a hole in that third quarter," Kuhns said.
New goal
So the challenge for the Saints now is to shake off Friday afternoon's loss and take on Caliche for a third place in Class 1A today at 2 p.m. As tough as Friday's loss was, Vail Christian is still at the Final Four and completely off the map with regard to its history. Though these have been a heady last two weeks, this program had never advanced past the semifinals of the District 1 Tournament, much less make state until this season.
"There's disappointment that we can't go get the big trophy we were hoping to get," Kuhns said. "At the same time, there's still one more to play. Tomorrow's still our championship."

Cyprus Makes Strides in Offshore Energy Search
From Business Recorder
Cyprus said on Wednesday it was making good progress with a second round of licensing for exploratory drilling aimed at exploiting offshore oil and gas deposits.
In October drilling permits, subject to negotiation, were approved for blocks 2, 3, 9 and 11, and on Wednesday block 10 was also added to the list.
"Negotiations with applicants for blocks 2 and 3 have made significant progress while progress has been made in negotiations for block 11," said government spokesman Stefanos Stefanou.
However, talks with preferred bidders for block 9 a French-Russian tie-up involving Total ENP Activities and Novatek have ceased, he said.
He said the cabinet had decided direct negotiations should end as they had been "unsatisfactory," and they would now move on to ENI-Kogas.
The government is also negotiating a deal with the same Italian-South Korean partnership for blocks 2 and 3.
France's Total is still in the running to exploit block 11 on its own and the government has also decided to negotiate directly with it for the adjacent block 10.

No 3-Trick Pony: Champagne's Indigenous Varieties
Post by Chuck Hayward | December 20th, 2012
JJ Buckley's latest Champagne Report has just been released with new articles along with new winery profiles and updated reviews. Click here to download a copy. To give you a taste of this edition, today's post is based on an article that looks at Champagne's lost varieties which are currently undergoing a renaissance.
If there is anything that wine enthusiasts have committed to their memories, it's that chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier, in varying proportions, are the three grapes used to make Champagne. Like many other details about the wine and the region, that's just a bit of the actual truth. Because as wine geeks and aspiring MS and MW students know, seven grapes are legally allowed to be used in the production of Champagne. All of a sudden, Champagne drinkers are hearing about grapes such as arbane and pinot blanc vrai, fromenteau and petit meslier in their bubblies. What's going on and how did this happen? (more…)

The Jensen brothers are unlikely to walk away untouched from the federal charges against them, according to a Seattle-based foodborne illness lawyer.
Eric and Ryan Jensen were charged with introducing tainted cantaloupe into interstate commerce.
"It's a pretty unprecedented move," said Bill Marler, who represents dozens of listeria victims' families.
Marler has dealt with foodborne-related cases for 20 years, but none have been like the Jensens'.
"In the cases where they have prosecuted in the past, there's been real clear evidence that the owners of the company absolutely knew that the product was contaminated when it left their plant," he said. "The Jensens, I think, were inept and I think they weren't paying attention to really common sensical food-safety practices, but there just does not appear to be at all, any evidence that they knowingly shipped contaminated product."
Whether the Jensens knew contaminated fruit was leaving their farm or not won't matter. Marler said the law only requires that the product that was shipped was contaminated. He said whatever the outcome is, the case is sending a strong message to other growers about the importance of food safety.
He said it's also a message of justice for families of listeria victims. But it doesn't make things all better.
"For the husbands and the wives who lost their spouse of 50, 60 years, people who lost their parents, it's still a pretty big hole in their lives," Marler said.
Foodborne illness lawyer discusses Jensen case
The Jensen brothers are unlikely to walk away untouched from the federal charges against them, according to a Seattle-based foodborne illness lawyer.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Catherine Lu (702) 486-6982 / 334-7953 email@example.com (Carson City, NV; September 14, 2012) – The U.S. Department of Defense cut short a trip to the Middle East by Secretaries of State, following social unrest in several countries. Secretary of State Ross Miller returned to the United States today after touring military bases and meeting officials to gain first-hand knowledge of military and overseas voting issues. "The attacks in Libya emphasize the importance of protecting democracy by ensuring our armed forces can easily vote in elections, a right they fight to preserve daily," said Miller. "Their voices need to be heard on Election Day." With deadlines for registering and requesting an absentee ballot quickly approaching, Miller joins the Heroes Vote Initiative to promote National Military Voter Readiness Day. The observance on September 15, 2012 raises awareness among and helps prepare military members, their spouses and dependents for the upcoming election. The deadline to register online at www.registertovotenv.gov is October 6. To vote by absentee ballot, registered individuals must request one from their County Clerk or Registrar of Voters by October 30. Military members and overseas citizens can request an absentee ballot by completing and submitting a Federal Post Card Application due October 30. Military Voter Readiness Day not only raises awareness about the importance of voting, it also provides military members with the necessary tools to register and request an absentee ballot. Such tools include on-base registration drives and a web-based application to register and request an absentee ballot in six easy steps. That web-based application is available at www.HeroesVote.org. For more information about military and overseas voting, visit the Election Center on the Secretary of State's website at www.nvsos.gov, or by clicking here.
"We are proud to work with the Nevada Secretary of State's office to make sure that our service members are election ready for November," said Eric Eversole, founder and executive director of the Military Voter Protection Project. "They have shown a tremendous dedication to our troops and that will make a big difference in November and beyond." Miller traveled to the Middle East this week to gain first-hand knowledge of military and overseas voting issues on a trip sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense's Federal Voting Assistance Program. He and fellow Secretaries of State first stopped in Kuwait to meet with U.S. Ambassador Matthew Tueller and U.S. Embassy staff, where they held extensive meetings to discuss voter outreach efforts for U.S. citizens living abroad and collaboration to resolve barriers to voting. Military leadership briefed the secretaries on the U.S. Army Central voting assistant program at the Third Army war room. The program is in place to ensure successful absentee voting during the election year. The secretaries also met with assigned officer at military installations to resolve any outstanding issues. The stop also included a tour and an extensive presentation at the U.S. Army Post Office to learn how military ballots are processed and transported. Following Kuwait, the Secretaries of State toured Al Udeid Air Force Base in Qatar, where they received a briefing regarding the Combined Air Operations Center voting assistance program, met with the Qatar Embassy regarding voter outreach, lunched with constituents, and toured the military postal facilities. The Secretaries of State then traveled to Bahrain, where they met with the U.S. Ambassador and Embassy officials; admirals and voting assistance officers on a naval base; and constituents at the Sheik Isa Air Base. As Nevada's chief elections officer and president of the National Association of Secretaries of State, Miller is strong advocate of changes to the state's military and overseas voting laws to ensure all ballots are received on time and counted in elections. Miller worked with the Nevada Department of Veteran Services and local elections officials during the 2009 legislative session to pass Assembly Bill 41, which allows Nevada voters overseas to register to vote; request and submit absentee ballots electronically; and accepted language from the federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act. The passage of MOVE Act in 2009 placed greater protections for services members and other overseas citizens by requiring elections officials to send absentee ballots to voters who submitted a request at least 45 days before the election.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's a little concerned about bear run-ins. Paul and Claudia Aex hold the Summit Daily at Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska with a bear in the background! Run!!
Though from the looks of this photo, I'm sure the lovely couple had no problems slowly backing away from the grizzly due to the bear's lethargic persona. Much like Bart the Bear that ran in Summit Up a couple of days ago. Turns out, there's been a major break in the Breck bear break-in case!
After the case was written about in the Sunday edition of the good ol' SDN, millions of Summit Up readers sent in tips to Ol' Smokey the Bear who was in pursuit of the vagrant Bart.
He was found after millions of tips about his frequent attendance at the Gold Pan surfaced. Smokey barged into the bar, old-west style, and found ol' Bart laughing over not one, but two very large beers.
If you don't know, bears get caught when they're exposed to alcohol. Whether they're bad village bears like Bart or nice ones simply wandering around, wildlife managers and Smokey the Bear are quick to detain them!
With Ron Burgundy as an influential role model, some famous last words from Tyler over at The Alpine Market in Frisco, "stay classy Summit County." We out.

Canon law is minimal on the naming of churches. Canon #1218 says
only that each church is to have its own title which cannot be
changed after its dedication. Commentaries then direct the reader
to the current liturgical books which are more explicit on the
titles of churches and are to be followed.
The Ritual for the Dedication of a Church states that every church
to be dedicated must have a titular. This titular may be the Blessed
Trinity, our Lord Jesus Christ invoked according to a mystery
of his life or a title already accepted in the liturgy, the Holy
Spirit, the Blessed Virgin Mary (likewise invoked according to
some appellation already accepted in the liturgy), one of the
angels or a saint inscribed in the Roman Martyrology or in a duly
approved appendix (to the martyrology). A blessed may not be a
titular without an indult from the apostolic see.
The ritual also indicates a church may have only one titular unless
it is a question of saints who are listed together in the calendar
of observances (for example, Cosmas and Damian, Peter and Paul).
The ritual then gives to the bishop the responsibility of dedicating
to God new churches built in his diocese.
The chancellor of the archdiocese in which I live tells me that,
from a canonical point of view, the bishop alone has the authority
to establish a parish. Part of the act of establishing a parish
would include the dedication of that parish to God under a particular
title. It is, therefore, the bishop who has the final say about
the name of a new church. In practice, I am told, the bishop sometimes
asks the founding pastor to recommend a name. In this instance,
I would surmise that the pastor may sometimes consult the members
of the new parish on a patron or title.
But sometimes the bishop has his own list of favorite names. Or
he may want to be sure names are not duplicated. And it may be
that someone who contributes greatly to the building of a church
requests that it be dedicated under a particular title.
It's hard to say how particular
churches came to be titled in the course of history. But the chancellor
reminded me that after the definition of the Immaculate Conception
(in 1854) many
churches were named for Mary under this title. I'm sure the same
was true of the dogma of the Assumption (an ancient dogma solemnly
defined in 1950). And often enough after a new saint is canonized
a church will be named for that saint, for example, St. Elizabeth
Seton or St. John Neumann.
When religious orders build churches, those churches may well
be named for their founders or saints of their order.
In some ways naming a church is like naming a baby--lots of people
can get into the act.
I am devoted to the rosary and say it daily. One time I heard
that they were proposing two new sets of mysteries to add to it,
but these mysteries were later discarded by the American bishops.
Now there is nothing about it, even in the Catholic Almanac.
My question is this: Why were these new mysteries dropped so suddenly
and no mention of it is made?
In their November 21, 1973, pastoral letter on the Blessed Virgin
Mary, Behold Your Mother, Woman of Faith, our National
Conference of Catholic Bishops commented on the rosary. There
the U.S. bishops reminded us that the rosary is more than a matter
of racing through a string of familiar prayers and they spoke
of the importance of reflecting on the mysteries. They also wrote:
"Besides the precise rosary pattern long known to Catholics,
we can freely experiment. New sets of mysteries are possible.
We have customarily gone from the childhood of Jesus to his passion,
bypassing the whole public life. There is rich matter here for
rosary meditation, such as the wedding feast of Cana and incidents...where
Mary's presence and Mary's name serve as occasions for her son
to give us a lesson in discipleship....Rosary vigils have already
been introduced in some places with an instructive use of readings
from Old Testament as well as New, and with a recitation of a
decade or two, if not all five. In a public celebration of the
rosary, hymns can be introduced as well, and time allowed for
periods of silent prayer."
Other than this statement of the U.S. bishops, I know of no stated
intention of promoting a new set of mysteries.
Why have not more people taken the liberty of experimenting with
different mysteries and styles of rosary recitation? We can only
speculate on that. People do not easily change their habits of
prayer. The familiar and accustomed bring comfort and ease us
into prayer. Most prayer books or leaflets, moreover, and the
Enchiridion of Indulgences itself continue simply to list the
traditional 15 joyful, sorrowful and glorious mysteries of the
As far as I can determine, few people took the bishops' encouragement
to experiment with the rosary. Walter Kern in his 1979 New
Liturgy and Old Devotions (Alba House) suggests mysteries
for each day of the week. Besides the traditional joyful, sorrowful
and glorious mysteries, expressed in Scripture quotes, he offers
mysteries based on doctrine, Genesis and the end times ("Jesus
will judge the living and the dead"). St. Anthony Messenger
Press in 1983 published The Healing Mysteries: A Rosary for
the Sick, by Joanne Turpin. Turpin's listing of mysteries
was: the healing of the crippled man at the pool of Bethesda,
the healing of the woman with an infirmity of the spirit, the
healing of the paralytic at Capernaum, the healing of the woman
suffering from hemorrhage, the healing of the blind man at Jericho.
I am middle-aged, married many years and lead a rather quiet
and religious life. In his homily a priest said we shouldn't confess
little things that are not really sins and confession shouldn't
be like reading a shopping list. What then should we confess?
The reminder of the Catechism that we must confess all
mortal sins of which we are aware, following a diligent examination
of conscience, is taken for granted here. Also to the point is
the Catechism's advice that, while it is not necessary,
it is good to confess our everyday faults (venial sins).
With that said, I would note that the ritual for the Sacrament
of Penance gives us a five-page examination of conscience in Appendix
III. The examination follows the Ten Commandments under three
general headings which look at our relations with God and each
other and our efforts to grow in the likeness to God.
I think that any spiritual director would suggest that penitents
using an examination of conscience look for what we call the predominant
fault. Try to determine what drives you in your daily life. What
motivates your actions? What determines the decisions you make
in family life, in social life, in your business dealings? And
look not just at the wrong you may have done but also at the good
you left undone.
Is personal comfort the great determinant of your life? Are pleasure
and sensual satisfaction your main consideration or motive for
your actions? Or is your life characterized by pride, vanity or
ambition? What would a confession following such an examination
of conscience sound like? It might go something like this: "I
find that I am very self-centered in my life. I spend more on
my own pleasure and amusement than on anyone else in the family.
I control the TV all the time. I determine with whom we are going
to socialize. I overspend on clothing for myself. I took credit
for another employee's idea to get ahead."
Or, "I discover I am proud and overly ambitious. I can never
admit I was wrong, that a mistake was mine. I brag and take credit
for all that goes right and blame others in the family or at work
for what goes wrong. I'm so busy trying to make a buck I have
no time to spend with my spouse and children. I have to have the
newest in everything and put my family in debt unnecessarily to
have it. I jeopardize the security of my spouse and family because
of my extravagance and failure to provide for sickness and our
old age."
Can you tell us how many people and who are the "stigmatized"?
When you speak of the stigmatized, I presume you mean those who
have been marked by or bear the wounds of Christ in their bodies.
According to Ian Wilson in his book Stigmata: An Investigation
Into the Mysterious Appearances of Christ's Wounds in Hundreds
of People from Medieval Italy to Modern America (Harper and
Row), there have been more than 300 stigmatics since St. Francis
of Assisi. Besides St. Francis, the list ranges from such well-known
people as Blessed Angela of Foligno, St. Catherine of Siena and
Padre Pio to Johann Jetzer, a poor farmer, and Cloretta Robinson,
a Baptist girl from West Oakland, California.
Wilson concludes that the presence of the stigmata is not a guarantee
of sanctity or the miraculous. He sees the phenomenon as surrounded
by mystery but also sees a relationship with the phenomena of
multiple personalities and hypnosis and the power of mind over
For another view of stigmatics, you can read They Bore the
Wounds of Christ: The Mystery of the Sacred Stigmata, by Michael
Freze, S.F.O. (Our Sunday Visitor, $14.95).
Is it coincidence or is there significance in the fact there
were 12 tribes of Israelites and 12 apostles of Jesus?
There is significance in the fact there were 12 tribes and 12
apostles. In Matthew Jesus promises the disciples, "[W]hen
the Son of Man is seated on his throne of glory, will [you] yourselves
sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel"
(Matthew 19:28). In the Last Supper account Luke also has Jesus
telling the apostles the Father will confer a kingdom on them
that they may eat and drink at his table in his kingdom "and
you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel"
(Luke 22:29-30).
In Revelation John describes the new heaven and the new earth
and he describes the new Jerusalem. There are 12 gates to the
new Jerusalem and 12 angels stand at the gates. On the wall are
inscribed the names of the 12 tribes of Israelites. The wall has
12 stone foundations and the names of the Twelve Apostles of the
Lamb are inscribed on each foundation (Revelation 21). The Church
and its members are the New Israel.
From a Mission in Nigeria: "We write to inform you
of our change of address and to request that you still remember
our works, whenever you have more holy objects, old books and
other items of our religion to send us (for our library and distribution
during our apostolic works)." Books and religious articles

Hi there,
I got a new amp and wanted to stream 24 bit 96 Khz FLAC's to it using a PS3.
I read that PMS had this behaviour at one time through the 'Audio High Fidelity' engine, but that it has been broken for a while.
How I understood the engine worked was:
1) browse the FLAC files from the PS3 using the Video section (not music)
2) PMS uses TsMuxerAudio as the player.
3) TsMuxerAudio + its parent TSMuxerVideo then:
a) creates a dummy video file using fake.jpg
b) use ffmpeg to extract a WAV/PCM file from the .flac OR use flac.exe if the sample rate is divisible by 48000
c) use tsmuxer to combine the above two files into a .ts stream containing MPEG4/ISO/AVC video and LPCM audio
I had a look at the latest code found there were 2 problems in the code. (https://github.com/ps3mediaserver/ps3mediaserver/)
1) TSMuxerVideo.launchTranscode(...) had the sample rate params in the wrong order ("-ar",rate,)
2) TsMuxerAudio.isCompatible(...) was failing as it was expecting Format.AUDIO instead of Format.VIDEO
I've testing this on windows 7 by running 'mvn clean package', then installing the produced PMS-setup.exe
I can successfully stream 24 bit 96 Khz FLAC files from my PS3 (and also .avi videos from the same directory).
Bringing up info on the steam on the PS3 shows: [Linear PCM 2Ch. 96Khz 4.6 Mbps AVC 5kbps ]
The patch for this is here http://pastebin.com/eRAzeUwR
I'm not sure on how you accept patches???
On a side note, for those interested... I found that the 'Audio High Fidelity' engine does not work for 24bit 88.2 Khz files.
The final step of using tsmuxer.exe fails with "Sample rate 88200 is not supported for LPCM format. Allowed values: 48000, 96000, 192000".
I have no solution for this and am puzzled as the PS3 in its 'Audio Output Settings' allows 88.2 linear PCM...
Controversially I got a 24bit 88.2 Khz FLAC file to stream using the Whitebear Media Server & Logitech Media Server. This was using the 'Music' option of XMB on PS3. My amp showed it was receiving 88.2 Khz.
Cheers, Paul

I just watched on the news the pope's farewell speech. How amazing to see thousands of people in such a beautiful setting. It is truly remarkable to see so many believers gathered in one place from all over the world.
Do I believe the pope made a good decision? Absolutely! We all know he could have sat back as pope and slid through the rest of his life doing the best he could. Traditionally, everyone would expect that. But Pope Benedict chose a much harder path. To resign took courage and above all faith, knowing the church would successfully move forward. His farewell speech, the little I was honored to watch, was a graceful and prayerful ending. He seemed sure of his decision and sure we Catholics, as always, will survive this and any other storm we encounter. The church can and will withstand change, and Pope Benedict is an obvious supporter in change when it is for the good of the church and its followers!

New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
Holding the office of King's Justice, which is the title of the royal executioner, Ser Ilyn Payne once served as captain of the guard to Lord Tywin. A boast regarding his master's influence over the Mad King led Aerys to have his tongue torn out. Payne has become a frightening figure: tall, mostly bald with a few very long wisps of hair, gaunt, grim, and with very piercing and frightening eyes. Without a tongue, he cannot speak, but he occasionally laughs in a disconcerting manner. His armor and clothing is plain and not well-cared for, but his executioner's sword is.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

ATLANTA – July 10, 2012 -
Two weeks after Tropical Storm Debby struck Florida, $5.3 million in state and federal aid has been approved to help those affected by the storm and flooding.
Almost 3,500 survivors have contacted the Federal Emergency Management Agency for help or information regarding disaster assistance. Some are seeking housing assistance from FEMA because the flooding has made their home unlivable or inaccessible.
Other forms of disaster assistance are provided by partner agencies such as the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and the Small Business Administration. FEMA refers survivors to those agencies. Businesses are also referred to the SBA. Other callers may be interested in disaster unemployment assistance, crisis counseling or legal aid.
The following is a snapshot of the disaster recovery effort as of July 9:
932 households already approved for FEMA grants that assist with temporary rentals and personal property loss.
$4.7 million approved for housing grants, including short-term rental assistance and home repair costs.
More than $551,000 approved to cover other essential disaster-related needs, such as medical and dental expenses and lost personal possessions.
1,715 home inspections completed.
620 visits to disaster recovery centers by people affected by the disaster.
5 disaster recovery centers currently open.
No matter the degree of loss or insurance coverage, survivors are urged to apply for help. They can use any of the following methods:
By phone, call 800-621-FEMA (3362) from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Assistance is available in most languages. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may call (TTY) 800-462-7585.
Online at www.DisasterAssistance.gov.
By tablet or smartphone, use the FEMA app or go to m.fema.gov.
Businesses that need help may contact the Small Business Administration at the SBA Disaster Customer Service Center at 800-659-2955 (TTY 800-877-8339), send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or go to https://disasterloan.sba.gov/ela/ to apply.

What if you were giving away millions of dollars to young people, but the number of them asking for it had dropped dramatically during the past three years? You'd wonder what on earth was going on.
That's a good question, especially because it involves the future of our state.
Officials of the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission recently reported that the number of young people receiving state Promise scholarships has dropped.
For high school graduates whose grades qualify them for the help, it is a good deal. If they keep their grades up in college, Promise will pay up to $4,750 a year of their tuition at West Virginia institutions of higher learning, both public and private.
Legislators fund the Promise program - $47.5 million in hard-earned taxpayers' money this year - to increase the state's dismal rate of residents with college degrees. That is important not just to the young people, but to the state's attractiveness to businesses that create jobs.
In 2009, 14,692 students applied for Promise scholarships. This year, just 11,433 sought them. And of the 3,689 who qualified, 585 didn't accept the money. Presumably, they chose to attend colleges or universities out of state, or not to pursue higher education at all.
Higher education Chancellor Paul Hill gave several reasons for the drop-off in Promise awards. Fewer high school graduates, not enough interest in going to college and lack of preparedness among many high school seniors for higher education were among factors he cited.
Obviously, the Promise program isn't working as well as hoped - at least not without help overcoming some of the other challenges Hill cited.
West Virginia simply must provide better educations for more of our young people. Clearly, simply throwing money at the problem hasn't solved it.

NAPANOCH — A short-circuiting microwave required the attention of 50 firefighters and caused the Town of Wawarsing's only full-service supermarket to close.
Sparks from the microwave malfunction ignited foam trays used for meatpacking on ShopRite's loading dock after midnight Tuesday, Napanoch fire Chief Ralph Davis said. The three-alarm blaze took 20 minutes to put out, Davis said, and left the loading dock with smoke and water damage. The fire was confined to the loading dock and the building had no structural damage. Employees had to be evacuated from the store, ShopRite spokeswoman Santina Stankevich said. None was injured.
The store was closed Tuesday.
Firefighters from four companies were at the scene. The last firefighters left four hours after arriving at ShopRite.

The first set is completely inessential. It's cool hearing Phish as a backing blues band, but it is really nothing to seek out.
The second set doesn't get much better. The DWD is the worst of tour so far (really just a sign of how great all the other versions this tour have been). As noted above, Page's outro to Caspian is very sweet. La Grange is fun to hear. But really, please skip this one, especially considering how much better the next night is.

In general, I am fascinated by the scripting possibilities of Photoshop. The unspoken "BUT" is that I have to make a living and lately "A living" means more work for less money so there's more work. So it is just a romantic thought that lingers in the back of my lizard brain hoping to surface when I don't have any work or gardening or cats to feed...
I had a problem recently. One that seemed destined to slow my workflow down to a crawl. To fit within a project requirement I needed to somehow squeeze down the total size of the assets by 20%. My plan was to batch process a folder of images in Photoshop's Save for Web format. I cannot speak to the particulars of "why" but that compression you get is better than anything Fireworks or Graphic Converter can do. It's as good as ImageReady was and its my first choice when preparing images for digital output. It is a little cumbersome though when there are over 300 images to be processed.
The problem? Call me an idiot but I have just been unable to get a droplet to include "Save for Web" in the processing. Followed every online tutorial I could find online. No joy. And the included Image Process script is just useless, it doesn't really accomplish anything a run of the mill droplet couldn't. Luckily, there are people much smarter than me.
Like Paul MR over at PS-scripts.com He uploaded a script called Picture Processor that set my tail wagging. There are a couple of different versions so chose the one that fits your needs.

Stay safe and lawsuit-free

Thinking of throwing a parade-watching party this Carnival season?
Beware: Getting too caught up in Mardi Gras madness could leave you in a legal lurch.
Lawsuits happen all the time for seemingly any reason — but the stakes are raised even higher when alcohol is involved, which is often the case this time of year.
Before you completely throw caution to the wind and "let the good times roll," make sure you are aware of the legal risks involved in hosting revelers in your home or office.
In our overly litigious society, party planners and hosts need to be familiar with social-host liability.
This relatively new legal term, coined by personal-injury attorneys, refers to the criminal and civil responsibility of a person who furnishes liquor to a guest.
Simply put, if one of your guests drinks too much and becomes a party pooper — hurting themselves or someone else — you could be found liable for the damage.
Most people are completely unaware, but this form of liability can apply to almost any situation involving alcohol being poured regardless if the party is happening at a bar, at the office, in your home or on the parade route.
So play it safe this Carnival season with these simple tips:
n For parties in your home, plan transportation for your guests, including designated drivers or cabs for a safe ride home, and have ample and appealing nonalcoholic beverages for your designated drivers.
n For office parties, consider a bus or taxi service for your employees.
n Avoid providing a self-service bar, opting instead for a bartender well-versed in identifying underage and intoxicated drinkers.
n Never ever serve alcohol to underage guests.
n Halt the flow of alcoholic beverages long before the party ends.
n Take action if a guest does overindulge, arranging for transportation home.

It's now official, the day before the Inaugural Peninsula Park Open, we'll be having Grand Opening ceremonies at 3:00 Friday 3/30. We're going to try to set up a celebrity pro/am doubles with City staff, P&R staff, P&R Commissioners, sponsors, and anyone else we can get to play 9 holes for the fun of it after we announce it's open. I'm hoping we'll make a big deal out of it too in the papers and TV. It's probably March Madness time, but hopefully we can get some attention.
We have lots of details to figure out, but it's a start.

Definition of corpus in English:
noun (plural corpora /ˈkɔːpərə/ or corpuses)
1A collection of written texts, especially the entire works of a particular author or a body of writing on a particular subject: the Darwinian corpus
More example sentences
- The entire corpus of Modern English prose has grown up since, and been influenced by, the works of Tyndale and Coverdale, and during the formative period of the early translations there was little other widely available reading matter.
- This text is an important contribution to a growing corpus on a volatile subject that has generated studies in several disciplines.
- Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species was not a bolt from the blue: it fitted naturally into, as well as transcending, a corpus of writing on evolution.
collection, compilation, body, entity, whole, aggregation, mass
1.1A collection of written or spoken material in machine-readable form, assembled for the purpose of linguistic research.
Example sentences
- Some linguists have collected large corpora of written or spoken samples of a language, their frequency lists and studies of data made easier by computational processing.
- To answer these questions, authentic learner data has been compared with native speaker data using computerized corpora and linguistic software tools to speed up the initial stage of the linguistic analysis.
- The major data source for the linguist is not a corpus of attested utterances but a native speaker's intuitions.
2 Anatomy The main body or mass of a structure.
Example sentences
- The right fallopian tube, right ovary, uterine corpus, and uterine cervix were all grossly unremarkable.
- Gastrin acts on the enterochromaffin-like cells in the gastric corpus to release histamine, which stimulates parietal cells to secrete acid.
- An estimated 36,100 cases of cancer of the uterine corpus, usually of the endometrium, were expected to be diagnosed in 2000.
2.1The central part of the stomach, between the fundus and the antrum.
Example sentences
- The classical way anatomists divide the stomach (fundus, corpus, antrum, and pylorus) makes little sense in terms of motor function.
- The former includes the fundus and the rostral two-thirds of the corpus, while the latter constitutes the rest of the corpus, the antrum, and the pylorus.
- Within the stomach, the gastrostomy site should be in the middle to distal third of the corpus.
Late Middle English (denoting a human or animal body): from Latin, literally 'body'. sense 1 dates from the early 18th century.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will play nine games against teams that advanced to last year's postseason as part of the 2011-12 men's basketball schedule, head coach Willis Wilson announced today. The team will host 12 games this season, including 11 at the American Bank Center.
"This is an exciting and challenging schedule for my first year at the helm of the program," Wilson said. "Thanks to the commitment from our administration, we have several top-notch teams coming to Corpus Christi and it should be thrilling for our fan base. We're looking forward to seeing large, loud crowds to cheer on our team throughout what should be a fun season."
The Islanders play five games against 2011 NCAA Tournament teams (Texas A&M, West Virginia, Utah State, UTSA twice) and four against squads that took part in the NIT a year ago (Oklahoma State, Missouri State, McNeese State and Bethune-Cookman). In non-conference play, Big 12 foe Texas Tech, 30-win squad Utah State, former Islanders coach Ronnie Arrow's South Alabama team and Denver will each pay a visit to the American Bank Center.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will also take part in the Las Vegas Classic this year, run by iBN Sports, who also heads up the Las Vegas Invitational that the Islanders participated in last year. Wilson's squad will play on-campus road games against West Virginia and Missouri State in the Classic's opening rounds, then will play Bethune-Cookman and either Kennesaw State or Tennessee Tech in Las Vegas.
New to the schedule is ESPN's Bracketbusters, slated for the weekend of Feb. 17-19. The event pits teams from mid-major conferences against one another with the intention of building the school's postseason resumé. The opponent for the Islanders' road game in the event will be determined approximately three weeks before the contest.
The Islanders open the season on Friday, Nov. 11, at Oklahoma State for a 7 p.m. contest. The Cowboys have won all seven historical meetings with Texas A&M - Corpus Christi, including a 68-58 win in Stillwater last year. The following Monday, Nov. 14, will be the Islanders' home opener, as newly-selected Western Athletic Conference member Denver comes to the American Bank Center for a 7 p.m. affair. It will be the third matchup against the Pioneers in school history, with each team winning a home game during the 2001-02 season.
Next up is a "Turkey Tuesday" matchup against Utah State on Tuesday, Nov. 22. The game will be a doubleheader at the ABC, as the Islanders women face Iona at 5 p.m. with the men's game against the Aggies to follow. USU had a stellar 2010-11 season, going 30-4 and finishing 18th in the Ratings Percentage Index. Just after Thanksgiving, the Islanders face the Aggies of Texas A&M up the road in College Station, for a 3 p.m. contest on Saturday, Nov. 26.
December starts with a bang, as Texas Tech and new coach Billy Gillespie come to the Coastal Bend for a 7 p.m. affair on Thursday, Dec. 1. The Islanders are 1-3 against the Big 12 foe all-time. After a road game at Houston on Saturday, Dec. 3, the team will take an 11-day furlough for final exams. The start of winter break comes with a thrill as Arrow returns to the ABC for the first time since leading the Islanders to the 2007 NCAA Tournament. It is the first meeting between USA and Texas A&M - Corpus Christi.
The Islanders close out 2011 with a return trip to Houston, as Coach Wilson will face off with his alma mater, Rice. The contest is scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 28, at Tudor Fieldhouse. The team also has two non-conference road games in February, with a matchup at Savannah State on Feb. 6 and the Bracketbusters contest the weekend of Feb. 17-19.
Texas A&M - Corpus Christi will open Southland Conference play with a Jan. 4 contest against Lamar at the American Bank Center. Other home conference opponents for the Islanders are McNeese State, UT Arlington (Dugan Wellness Center), Texas State, Stephen F. Austin, Sam Houston State, UTSA and Central Arkansas. The Islanders' conference road slate includes contests at UTSA, Southeastern Louisiana, SHSU, Nicholls, Northwestern State, Texas State, SFA and UTA.
The Southland Conference Tournament returns to the Merrill Center in Katy, Texas, for the fifth straight year. The men's portion of the event kicks off on Wednesday, March 7, with the championship game to be played on Saturday, March 10. The Southland Tournament champion will earn the league's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.

haha! iusethis user tallies = appfresh: 44726; macupdate desktop: 207.
@bbolman : what do you think makes this better than AppFresh? i seem to remember thinking something similar, but i've deleted this app and don't remember now what i might have thought was better. whatever it was, it wasn't enough to win me over from AppFresh.
Bet Mac App Store will throw a big spanner into the works of this app/service in the future.
There's no denying this is probably better than AppFresh, but when you compare pricepoints, it's not THAT much better that I could imagine justifying the purchase. Maybe I'm wrong?
Is it better than appfresh? I have no clue.
Hard to imagine why I'd want to try something other than AppFresh.
It is included in the $20/year membership now - the price on this site is incorrect.
I thought this was $20 per year (same as MacUpdate subscription)?
40.00? Seriously?

This week on the Melissa & Doug blog, we're exploring emotions and all the wonderful ways you can help your children build emotional intelligence.
Yesterday, we highlighted 5 easy, everyday tips, like using the low-stress environment of playtime to talk about what different emotions look and feel like. Using the arts and crafts your child is comfortable with is a great way to conduct these conversations: in a comfortable, non-confrontational way, you can ask your child to discuss what certain emotions "look like" without putting her on the spot. Here's a simple "emotion-themed" art project to help spark these conversations:
Step 1: Gather Up Your Child's Favorite Arts and Crafts
Make this activity exciting for your child by using the tools she enjoys most, like paint or stickers. If your child is a new writer, you may want to focus more on drawing versus writing down her feelings (although alphabet stickers may be a nice way to sneak in a little letter-learning, too!)
Step 2: Introduce the Activity
Present the activity in a way that will appear exciting! Ask your child to create posters for a bedroom or playroom, with each poster representing a different emotion. We recommend telling the child up front that the posters will be created with you. This may eliminate any pressure the child could potentially feel about creating something "on display" or while being watched.
Step 3: Pick Your "Feelings"
Ask your child if she knows what a "feeling" is. Then, ask her to share some examples. (Tip: go with the flow. If your child doesn't follow the process you had originally intended for an activity, or immediately come up with a specific emotion, go along with how the project naturally progresses. Start with something they do understand like the concept of "fun" for example. You may discover some things you hadn't anticipated!)
Step 4: Have an Ongoing Conversation versus Waiting to "Show-and-Tell"
Rather than asking your child to "present" their poster to you when finished, work side by side, talking through what each image represents. Ask her to elaborate on certain pictures, and how certain situations make her feel specific emotions. We also recommend you provide your own pictures about things that make you feel a certain emotion to lead by example.
Finally, allow your child to start with more "traditional" or generic drawings, and then guide her to more personal ones. For example, she may draw a picture of a monster, which most children are "scared" of. You can then ask what other things in her life may inflict fear, such as being in the dark, a shot from the Doctor, and so on. The key is to start "general" and move toward the personal, guiding her along the way with your own insights and experiences.
Have you ever done a similar project with your child to build emotional awareness? We would love your input and feedback in the comments below!

Generating Options Kentucky
Solar power is most commonly produced when photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electricity. PV systems are made of solar cells, which absorb the photons in sunlight, causing the free flow of electrons through the cells circuit. Today, some cells can convert up to a quarter of the sunlight that shines on them into electricity.
Compared to other countries, the United States receives more solar energy in the summer than other times of the year because days are longer and the sun is nearly overhead. The sun's rays are far more slanted during the shorter days of the winter months.
Wind power is produced by wind turbines, which convert the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy to generate electricity, charge batteries, pump water and grind grain. Most wind energy technologies can be used as stand-alone applications, connected to a utility power grid or even combined with a photovoltaic system. For utility-scale sources of wind energy, a large number of turbines are usually built close together to form a wind farm that provides grid power.
Stand-alone turbines are typically used for water pumping or communications. However, homeowners and farmers in windy areas can also use small wind systems to generate electricity. Learn more about small wind electric systems from Energy Savers.
Biomass is organic material made from plants and animals. Examples of biomass fuels include wood, crops, manure and some garbage. Most electricity generated from biomass is produced by direct combustion using conventional boilers. These boilers primarily burn the organic materials to produce steam, which spins a turbine. The spinning turbine then activates a generator that produces electricity.

Tulsa police are seeking to question a man arrested in Kansas on an outstanding domestic assault warrant in connection with the slayings of four women found dead inside a Tulsa apartment.
Tulsa police spokeswoman Jill Roberson says the 33-year-old man was arrested Tuesday night during a traffic stop in Independence, Kan. She said police were looking to return the man to Tulsa and she was unaware Wednesday if homicide detectives had had a chance to speak with him.
Roberson says the man is not a suspect in Monday's shooting deaths of 23-year-old twin sisters Rebeika Powell and Kayetie Melchor, 33-year-old Misty Nunley, and 55-year-old Julie Jackson. But Roberson says the man was known to frequent the area and that his name surfaced as part of the investigation into the killings.

A story about two protesters charged with crimes at a Monday night demonstration in Oakland incorrectly reported the crime each protester is accused of committing. Jeffrey Clark is accused of two misdemeanors; Lamar Caldwell is accused of a felony.
OAKLAND -- The Alameda County District Attorney's Office filed criminal charges Wednesday against three protesters who contributed to a chaotic and violent march Monday night, while Oakland police announced the arrest of another protester on an outstanding warrant.
Lamar Caldwell, 26, and Tanzeen Dohal, 34, of San Jose, were arrested and charged with felony vandalism, according to authorities. Jeffrey Clark, 30, who holds a New York driver's license but listed his address in Oakland, was charged with misdemeanor battery on a police officer and assault, police said. The men were arrested Monday night near the 1500 block of Broadway. A police probable cause warrant states that Clark threw a rock at a police officer.
Caldwell, also of Oakland, is accused of causing more than $400 in damage for breaking a display window at the Men's Warehouse store on Broadway. A police probable cause warrant states that officers watched Caldwell striking the window at least three times with an "unknown object" until it broke.
Meanwhile, Oakland police announced that another man was arrested late Tuesday after a fourth night of protesting along downtown Oakland streets.
The arrest, which took place near 14th Street and Broadway, came on the heels of three consecutive nights of vandalism and violence that left smashed windows and storefronts, graffiti and debris from demonstrators' clashes with police.
The evening marked the first night since Saturday that protesters did not march or vandals did not damage city streets.
The protester was arrested on an outstanding warrant during a confrontation between police and more than 30 protesters after the Oakland City Council meeting, police said. Seventeen others were cited with various misdemeanor offenses, officials said.
Police also reportedly confiscated sound equipment from a protester who allegedly violated the city's noise ordinance.
The crowd was protesting Saturday's acquittal of George Zimmerman in Florida in the shooting death of an African American youth, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, and on Monday night briefly shut down traffic on Interstate 880 and blocked several streets. During the protesters' marches and skirmishes with police downtown, more than a dozen businesses were vandalized, including some targeted during previous protests.
Among the targeted businesses on Monday were Comerica Bank, 1200 Broadway, the Burger King restaurant at 13th and Broadway; Youth Radio, 1701 Broadway; and Men's Warehouse, 300 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza. All had windows smashed. Sears, 1950 Broadway, had more windows smashed and paint was splattered, and the restaurant Flora, 1900 Telegraph Ave., where a waiter was savagely attacked with a hammer, had its windows broken.
There was no repeat of vandalism Tuesday.

Knitter's Review
April 1, 2009
Our appetite for exotic fibers knows no bounds. It brought corn, soy, bamboo, and it introduced qiviut, yak, and American bison to our knitting baskets. And it gave us yarns made from jade, laced with copper, and fortified with seaweed extracts.
So it should come as no surprise this week when I tell you about a new company that is taking fiber innovation to a whole new level by producing a spinnable form of recycled kitty litter.
