Audacity of hypocrisy: Sameer Bhat
Guest post by SAMEER BHAT, written on 26 November in response to Kashmiri Pandits heckling the Mirwaiz in Chandigarh.
Aesop, the Hellenistic slave, narrated a profound tale in the winter of 6th century BC. The story is simple but the message remains relevant 2700 winters later. A Bee, queen of the hive, buzzed her way to Mt Olympus to present Jupiter some fresh honey. Jupiter, delighted with the offering, promised to give her whatever she wanted in return. The Bee thought for a while and then said, "Please give me a stinger, so that I can hurt whoever might come to take my honey."
Jupiter didn't quite like the Bee's desire to hurt people, but he had made a promise and had to keep it. So he answered: "I hereby give you the stinger you want, but use it at your own risk. For you may only use it once, and it shall break off in the wound you make. Thus you will die from the loss of it." Right-wing Kashmiri Pandit groups have taken recourse to the stinger, over and over again. Cloaked in nothing but nuisance value, the loss is, in plain words, their very own.
I don't frankly admire the Mirwaiz too much. I think he reeks of an elitist with all those expensive caps and well-pressed Kameez-yazars [Pathani dresses] but he is an important voice, however rapidly he talks on TV. The fact that some goon in ill-fitting pants will awkwardly lunge at the spiritual head of a huge section of Kashmiris is such a travesty. What compounds the pain further is the sight of neo-Nazi style fellow Kashmiris, cheering the mobsters on. Hell what have we become?
Heckling and assault on dissenting voices has become the new bench-mark of the largest democracy in the world. If instant 2-minute TV fame is your idea to spend a dull Thursday afternoon, then all you got to do is this: Rush to the nearest Kashmir seminar in town and behave like an undomesticated mare, kicking away at everyone. Bare your teeth menacingly and go ahead and smack the speaker. In no time the robot-like cameramen will have your attention. And Eureka: You are a nationalist. An ultra-nationalist, if you please. Friends can see you on telly. Simple.
One wonders if this is the educated, liberal, brainy, respected Pandits who once inspired awe. Not to mention an overwhelming majority of Kashmiri Pandits do retain their secular ethics and cultural upbringing. Somewhere in the melee (post the exodus, which is such a shameful chapter) several second generation KPs mingled with the rougher crowd. Soon they would become the flag-waving, uncouth sloganeering jokers in the pack. What is transpiring at the moment is part of the same transmutation.
Lately it has become quite fashionable to dub anyone 'enemy of the state' as soon as something displeasing is said. Ofcourse there are heart-aches, ofcourse there is displacement, ofcourse there are serious agreements but a passado at everyone who holds a position contrary to your own makes you a crack-pot. To shoot a man because one disagrees with his interpretation of Darwin or Hegel is a sinister tribute to the supremacy of ideas in human affairs — but a tribute nevertheless, the literary critic Steiner said sometime back. One only agrees.

One cannot actually disagree with what the author says. Some may call it poetic justice but fact is KPs have also suffered and just becuase Sameer Bhat has a way with pen and writes eloquent prose does not mean that KPs are hooligans. Yes some black sheep are thre
Sarmad permalinkNovember 29, 2010 5:18 PM
At no point is it metioned that all Kps are trouble-mongers but real character would be when Pandit community leaders stand up to this goondaism and condemn such acts rather than cast aspertions on others and start lamenting. That is when it becomes really shameful.
ajit permalinkDecember 2, 2010 4:44 AM
" real character would be when Pandit community leaders stand up to this goondaism and condemn such acts rather than cast aspertions on others and start lamenting."
Should all members of a community be required to "stand up to and condemn such acts" to everyone's satisfaction whenever some members within them do something shameful ? And in the absence of such, do things become "really shameful" ?
I am sure I have heard something like that in some other context. ;-)
Nazir permalinkApril 27, 2011 11:59 PM
None can deny the fact we all 've suffered.One Community lost its homeland,other keeps losing its lives.If we intend to reunite & pave way for peace,then such actions will only hinder our desires.I may disagree with mirwaiz personally on certain issues,doesnt mean i'll bear sum1 heckle him or geelani sb simplybcoz they dont like their version.Just to remind,mirwaiz was only talking of army's excesses in that event.I 'vent cn anyone condemning these goons.

if j&k is ever trifurcated then panun kashmir have the right to ask for some districts for kashmiri pandits. displaced sindhis from pakistan did not do so and theirlanguage and culture in india is vanishing.

Not only does the Groklaw article rip Dennis Byron apart but he makes
himself look a complete dolled up prat in the original article. The
comments are particularly acidic!
The years have been very kind to me.
It's the weekends that have done all the damage!

As I kid, I was scared of monsters. Specifically, the Star Trek Salt-Vampire and Hans Christian Anderson's Death, sitting on the Emperor's chest. (I slept on my side for years after reading "The Nightingale." Death couldn't get you, I reasoned, if you declined him a seat.) But I was never afraid of the monsters in Where the Wild Things Are, the best-known book by Maurice Sendak, who died on Tuesday.
Eight ways to manage your social media ministry
Church leaders are already strapped with not enough hours in the day. And now we're supposed to be engaging in social media too? How do we manage it all?
Early this week, the same video kept popping up on my Facebook wall. It's from a press conference in Greensboro, at which North Carolina NAACP president William Barber (whom the Century profiled here) made a crucial point: "How do you feel, personally, about same-sex marriage?" is the wrong question. The right question is about equal rights under the U.S. Constitution and federal law.
By midweek, my Facebook wall was overwhelmed with comments (and links) about President Obama's decision to give the right answer to the wrong question.
New today from the Century: The price of prisons, Obama's right answer to the wrong question, more.
New today from the Century: Aussie Christians, the "we" of women's rights, more.
It is difficult to know what to say in response to Mona Eltahawy's explosive article on the experience of women in Middle Eastern countries. She writes about a level of institutionalized brutality that demands that readers pay attention.
At the same time, she doesn't say anything new, nothing that wasn't already made too vividly clear during the Arab Spring.
I probably shouldn't be surprised if I learned that, when N. T. Wright isn't busy exegeting, episcopating or writing best-sellers, he throws 100-mph fast balls and makes award-winning beer. But for some reason I was a bit startled to find out that he's not only a Dylan fan but a pretty decent singer, too.
North Carolina voters go to the polls today, and the race that will make all the headlines doesn't have a candidate. On the ballot is a constitutional amendment defining marriage between one man and one woman as the only legal domestic union recognized by the state.
I'm against the amendment--a popular view here in Greensboro. The city council passed a resolution opposing it. Light blue "Vote Against" yard signs dot the neighborhood around our church.
Across the state, opinions are more varied.
New today from the Century: Talking about same-sex marriage, French vs. U.S. babies, more.
John 15:9–17
I have found myself dreading Facebook lately. With the general election beginning to churn, the competing posts are out: "Evidence of Obama's socialist conspiracy!" "Republicans plan to inspect every woman's womb!" Some are rather scary while others I quietly cheer; still others simply draw me into grief over how little Jesus seems apparent in any of it.
The Century's work relies primarily on subscriptions and donations. Thank you for supporting nonprofit journalism.

Beholder were originally a mere side project playing covers of classic and contemporary metal alike. Having decided to try their hand at writing their own material to accompany their colossal live show, the Birmingham quintet now have a string of prominent festival appearances and a righteous debut album, 'The Awakening', under their belts. Bristling with thunderous tunes that defiantly wave the banner for old school metal while injecting it with a dark new motif, it breathes new life into the trad metal template. Featuring Simon Hall - Lead Vocals, Martyn Blackwell - Guitars and Vocals, Scott Taylor - Guitars and Vocals, Si Fielding - Bass and Vocals and Chris Bentley - Drums.

Definition of electron diffraction in English:
electron diffraction
The diffraction of a beam of electrons by atoms or molecules, used especially for determining crystal structures.
Example sentences
- An advantage in using electron diffraction from crystals over imaging for evaluating the effect of energy filtering is that quantitative analyses can be carried out for high-resolution data more easily and reliably.
- That work led to their discovery of electron diffraction in 1927.
- This is reminiscent of the two-dimensional projection Fourier map obtained experimentally by electron diffraction.

5 muslim soldiers arrested at Fort Jackson, accused of attempting to poison food supply
5 Muslim US Army soldiers have been arrested at Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina. They stand accused of attempting to poison the Army food supply at Fort Jackson, and they are now supposedly being referred to as "the Fort Jackson five." These 5 muslim soldiers worked as Arabic translators for the US Army. Details of the situation are not clear, as this is still an ongoing investigation; and it is not yet known whether the "suspects" are still in custody.
Given the current rash of muslim "incidents" in the American military, this news is not altogether shocking. What is shocking is that these 5 muslim soldiers were arrested just before Christmas. Two Months!?! Why didn't we hear about this sooner? Are Homeland Security and the Military trying to cover their mistakes? Perhaps, they are just afraid to admit that their rampant political correctness is a threat to national security. Whatever the reason is, we should have been told about this much sooner.

BIRTHDAY GAL: Actress Patricia Clarkson was born in New Orleans on this date in 1959. This birthday gal has won two Emmy awards for her guest appearances on "Six Feet Under" and she also garnered a 2004 Oscar nomination for her performance in "Pieces of April." Clarkson's vast list of film credits includes acclaimed work in films such as "Good Night, and Good Luck," "The Station Agent" and "The Green Mile."
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Wake up and you might wonder why you have become a workaholic. It isn't that you got up on the wrong side of the bed, but that holiday distractions have run their course and you are aware of the pace.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Don't wear stripes with plaids. Be aware of instances when a case of bad taste could result in a bad first impression. It is always the last card that is carelessly placed that makes a house of cards collapse.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Mincemeat pies are good during holidays, but it is also time to mince words. This isn't the time to put too much reliance on the thoughts or ideas of others. Hold off on key decisions -- and don't beg for advice.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be sympathetic toward those who are locked into unpleasant routines. You, too, must roll up your shirtsleeves and get your hands dirty. Shirking duties will only earn you frowns from the powers that be.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Play the part of the cynic. This morning's news will probably line tomorrow's birdcages. Count to 10 before you invest your money or make a major purchase. A healthy lack of gullibility will protect you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Avoid emulating bad habits. The old monkey-see, monkey-do mentality could be very much a factor in your decisions. You would be wise to shelve any significant decisions until the holidays are over.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Give and forgive. You might make it a point to distance yourself from someone whom you feel is a troublemaker, but perhaps that person only seems to cause trouble because you distance yourself.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The piper must be paid. Too much partying could have cut into your work schedule -- or perhaps the holidays have put you behind in other ways. It is time to pay strict attention to duty and to honor obligations.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): As they say, "Waste not, want not." An inner tug of war between kind-hearted generosity and self-preservation could challenge you. Don't be in a rush to spend your pennies or impress others.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Hidden willpower propels you. Combine business with pleasure to wind up in a top dog position. With your determination to succeed, all you require is an ally with vision and imagination.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Make up your own mind. It might be conditioned reflexes that cause you to choose Door No. 1 over Door No. 2. Avoid repeating old patterns or following others along a well worn and familiar rut.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take your time without wasting your time. This is a day when you have to lie in the bed you already made. Keep promises, remain respectful to superiors and delay starting new enterprises.
IF DECEMBER 29 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: Your path ahead may be filled with bliss if you remain realistic and keep your feet planted firmly on the ground. A romantic encounter could seem too good to be true in February, so let time pass and be sure you can trust your feelings. From mid-June, when you are at your best in the business or career arena, through the end of July, life will run more smoothly. In the middle of July, those who are not good for you will have a tough time getting close, so use that as a measuring stick to gauge how important a new person or idea should be. Mr. or Ms. Right will be more likely to knock on your door in late September or early October, but if you are already in a committed relationship, this is a good time to interview for a new job or make an important change.

What materials did you use? silk noil - dyed three times starting with Golden Yellow. Then Purple, and then a mixed rust. Just wanted folks to see that large pieces can be manipulated just like small pieces!
Gorgeous! The colors are so rich. I've had my embellisher for a few months now and I'm amazed at all it can do, just love it. Enjoy!
good for you. show us some samples!!!
I too have a felting machine but afraid to use, any tips?
Just jump in and have a few extra needles handy...I broke a few while I was getting the hang of how to move the cloth and my feet at the same time. It's a little like dancing!!
The best way to get past fear of using a machine is to use it! I find it easier to get started by cutting up some 15" squares of various leftover fabrics and then assembling some other supplies - pieces of felt cut into shapes like in my pic, or threads and yarns - anything that won't break a needle! Then I just play on the little squares in order to understand what the machine will do. It's fun and not so challenging as starting a big project with materials that feel too "precious" to mess up. And the machine will work on all kinds of things that the basic instructions don't suggest. I've even felted into window screen. (not the metal one but the other stuff.)
I've never tried felting, but this project is so elegant. I didn't expect elegant.
Yiu never know until you try it - we have to remember that companies who make equipment like the Embellsiher machine have a specific way of using it in mind but it doesn't mean that we, as artists, can't blow thier minds with new approaches to what they envisioned!!
Wow, this is unbelievable. I can only hope to make pieces this beautiful. I make felted pieces for other artisans and decided to take this class to add dyeing to add to my collection in the hope of being able to sell some. I'm not sure I'd want to let a piece like this go though!
When you make beautiful things it is good to find them new homes! It gives you more psychic space to create more!! and then the process repeats itself.

The Good Earth
by Pearl S. Buck
The Good Earth Chapter 3 Summary
- Fast-forward nine months, and O-lan is ready to give birth. Even though Wang Lung wants her to have a midwife, O-lan doesn't want anyone to help her—especially not anyone from the House of Hwang.
- When Wang Lung tries to persuade her, O-lan speaks the most she as ever spoken before. She tells him that when she goes to the House of Hwang, she will be dressed in her finest silks, with her brand-new baby boy, and it is going to be sweet. They won't see her one moment before, and that's that.
- So when the time comes, O-lan goes into her room and gives birth all alone. Outside of her room, Wang Lung waits anxiously until he hears a cry. When everyone figures out that it's a boy, all he cares about is how awesome he is for getting a firstborn son.
- Wang Lung looks at O-lan and remembers that she just gave birth all by herself, without anesthesia, and without complaining. We guess that he realizes that he should probably care about her too, and he says he will go to the market to get some stuff for her to feel better.

Need for Speed: How to Get Faster Drug Reviews in Europe
The drive to encourage drug development in rare and neglected diseases is picking up steam.
In the U.S., when a company receives FDA approval for a drug that targets a neglected disease, it gets a voucher that can be used to get priority review from the FDA on another, larger market drug, which would speed up the approval review process and could lead to the more lucrative medicine hitting the market sooner.
In the latest issue of the Lancet, researchers from Duke and the Spanish patent office are now calling for a similar "priority review voucher" system in Europe. They estimate that adopting a voucher system in Europe could speed up the approval process by six months, which could translate into an estimated $300 million in value.
"The potential to get decisions faster has great value and can be used for a worthy cause," says David B. Ridley, co-author of the Lancet article and one of the Duke researchers who came up with the original idea.
The concept became law in the U.S. in 2007, and the first voucher was awarded to Novartis in 2009 after the FDA approved Coartem, a malaria drug. In August, a bill was introduced in the Senate to extend the priority review vouchers to include some pediatric rare diseases, such as cancer and muscular dystrophy. The legislation was one of the key topics at last week's pediatric cancer summit run by the Pediatric Cancer Caucus, which works with legislators.
No one knows how many vouchers might ultimately be given out every year in the U.S. Ridley told the Health Blog he hopes to see 2 to 3 a year eventually but that the process will take a while since the idea is to support new drug development. The legislation hasn't been written yet in Europe.
Nancy Goodman, who lost a 10-year-old son to cancer in 2009 and whose Kids v Cancer group helped drive the effort to expand vouchers to include pediatric rare diseases, says about the potential number of vouchers, "That's the million dollar question." But even one voucher a year, she adds, would represent "a sea-change for kids with cancer and rare diseases."

Foreign Animal Disease Research
1a.Objectives (from AD-416):
The objective of this research project is to evaluate native and modified forms of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) envelope proteins for their capacity to induce rapid protective immune responses against CSF virus.
1b.Approach (from AD-416):
The protective efficacy of the three virus envelope glycoproteins E0, E1 and E2 will be assessed in swine. Native forms of E0, E1 and E2, as well as harboring modifications that may enhance their immunogenicity, will be expressed in the baculovirus system and assessed in their ability to induce early protection within the first week after immunization. Modifications to the E0, E1 and E2 structure will include their fusion with immunostimulatory molecules (flagelin), or their ability to deliver to professional antigen presenting cells by fusing them to anti-class II antibodies or by increasing their immunogenicity by expressing them as highly complexed molecules to tetramers. It is expected that the introduced modifications would improve the efficiency of these candidate vaccines.

TCU Close to Jilting Big East for Big 12
The Big 12 Conference is maneuvering to add Texas Christian University, in what would be another blow to the beleaguered Big East.
The Big 12 announced Thursday that its board of directors has authorized negotiations with TCU, which is currently competing in the Mountain West Conference but was scheduled to begin play in the Big East next year. TCU and Big East officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
TCU would be the 10th member of the Big 12, which has been seeking new members to stabilize itself after losing three schools. Texas A&M's recent decision to leave for the Southeastern Conference—and the further possibility of the University of Missouri leaving—created an opening in the Big 12. The conference is stronger in football than the Big East and more geographically sensible for TCU, located in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Big 12 still faces uncertainty regarding Missouri, whose board voted earlier this week to give its chancellor, Brady Deaton, the authority to consider membership in another conference. Over the past year and a half, the Big 12 has been wounded by the losses of Colorado to the Pac-12, Nebraska to the Big Ten and Texas A&M's planned defection in 2012. (The Big 12 said that on the advice of legal counsel Missouri did not participate in the otherwise unanimous board approval to negotiate with TCU.)
But the Big East, which lacks a powerful anchor school like the University of Texas, appears to be in worse shape. Syracuse University—a founding Big East member—recently decided to leave for the Atlantic Coast Conference along with the University of Pittsburgh. Connecticut Gov. Daniel Malloy has indicated that the University of Connecticut would be interested in leaving the Big East for the ACC if the latter decides to expand further.

Felicity Jones, Tom Rothman Win at Gotham Awards
Thank goodness it's warm. That was the standard opening greeting between the actors, directors and producers who attended the 21st annual Gotham Independent Film Awards at Cipriani Wall Street last night.
The balmy weather allowed for more smoke breaks, two press lines (one outdoors) and time to walk between the ceremony venue and the undisclosed after party location (two blocks away).
The night began with a two-floored cocktail party where we spoke with Felicity Jones, the British actress who would later win the Gotham for breakthrough actor for her role in "Like Crazy." (She was up again both Shailene Woodley of "The Descendants" and Elizabeth Olsen of "Martha Marcy May Marlene," to name a couple). She hadn't prepared a speech and was "frankly terrified" to present. "Winning is easy but presenting is a performance," she said.
There were half dozen bars all serving different alcohol, from the vodka bar to the Heineken outpost. Instead of navigating, the stars like C. Scott Willis who directed "The Woodmans," simply whipped out their wallets and started tipping waiters to get them their drinks of choice (mostly the restaurant's famous Bellini's).
Running a half hour behind schedule, the awards began as the mushroom baked pasta was served. (This also happened, coincidently, when several waiters claimed to be "fresh out" of Bellini's.) We sat at the Royal Bank of Canada table (they were one of the "premier sponsors) and found ourselves running between the table and the press room located up two flights of stairs and behind the stage.
"This award, this ceremony feels like coming home," said Tom Rothman, one of the four people honored with "Tribute" awards. (The others were Charlize Theron, David Cronenberg and Gary Oldman.)
Back downstairs Sean Durkin was "bummed." (He lost the Breakthrough Director award to Dee Rees for "Pariah") As was Mike Cahill, the director of "Another Earth," but the warm weather meant more smoke breaks, which made him "happy."
The awards ended before dessert could be properly served, prompting the guests to head at an accelerate rate to the undisclosed after party location. "C'mon, keep up," said actress Louisa Krause, a cigarette dangling in her hand.

Stanford had a five-year streak of College Cup appearances end last season, losing 2-0 to eventual NCAA women's soccer champion UCLA in the Round of 16. The Cardinal finished 15-6-1 under Paul Ratcliffe, who is entering his 12th season.
"Last year was a good year for us," said Ratcliffe, 194-43-21 in his days at Stanford. "We had a young team with five freshmen starting many games. We grew as a team through the year."
The Cardinal, ranked No. 6 in the coaches' preseason top 25, return nine starters, most notably electric forwards Taylor Uhl and Chioma Ubogagu and physical midfielder Lo'eau LaBonta. Uhl, who led Stanford in goals last year with 12, and LaBonta were named to the watch lsit for the Hermann Trophy, the award given to the nation's best player.
"We have a lot of girls coming back from last year," said Uhl, who transferred from the University of Minnesota before last season. "That's always good for team chemistry. We have a strong senior class. We have a solid backline with some cool attacking play up top."
"We have more experience and more balance in this squad," Ratcliffe said. "There is strength throughout each line. If we keep everyone healthy and everyone works hard, we can have a really fun year."
Uhl and Ubogagu, who has 17 goals and 27 assists in her career at Stanford, have the most experience in the forwards. Uhl is seeking more production from herself this season.
"I can be a lot more dangerous than I was last year," Uhl said. "I can get in on more services, just all-around. I can be a bigger goal-scorer this year."
Ratcliffe may be calling on highly regarded freshmen Kyra Carusa (Del Norte-San Diego), Mariah Lee, who prepped at Kentwood in Covington, Wash., and Andi Sullivan, out of South County School in Lorton, Va. Lorton is a suburb of Washington, D.C. Senior forward Haley Rosen returns after missing most of last year with an injury and should add depth.
Senior midfielder Alex Doll was one of three players who started all 22 games last year. Senior Hannah Farr of St. Ignatius-San Francisco brings some needed experience to the midfield, as does sophomore Stephanie Amack, who can also play in the backline.
Junior defender Laura Liedle started all 22 matches a year ago, while Maddie Bauer started 21 matches on defense. Fifth-year senior defender Kendall Romine had 18 starts in 2013.
Ratcliffe listed junior Sarah Cox as his starting goalie. However, Ratcliffe added there will be a three-way competition throughout the year with sophomore Jane Campbell and freshman Alison Jahansouz, from Edison-Huntington Beach. Campbell, a member of the U20 national team, started 18 matches last season, recording two shutouts in the NCAA tournament.
"Alison is a really talented goalkeeper, but she's coming off a long-term injury and working on getting healthy," Ratcliffe said. "When Alison gets healthy, it's going to be a real battle with all three goalies."
Ratcliffe stated that only a few positions are locked up, if that.
"A lot of positions are up for grabs," Ratcliffe said. "Nothing is set in stone. Everyone is competing. We're trying to find the right system to match the players."
Three local freshmen, should not only help with ticket sales, they might see some serious action on the field. Gunn-Palo Alto's Sarah Robinson, Menlo School-Atherton's Jaye Boissiere and Menlo-Atherton's Zoe Pacalin all played club soccer together with the Mountain View/Los Altos Mercury. Robinson, a midfielder, won the 1,600 meters in the state track meet this past spring.
"It's fun to play with the likes of Taylor Uhl and Chioma Ubogagu," Robinson said. "I've been watching the team for so long. It's nice to get to play with them, finally. It's a cool experience."
Boissiere and Pacalin are also listed at midfield on the Cardinal roster.
"I hope the three local freshmen come in and make an immediate impact," Ratcliffe said. "They're really talented players. They're from a very good club and have been taught well. The question is can they adjust to the physicality and the speed of play of college? I think they can because they are so technical, but it takes some time."
"The freshmen have come in with great attitudes," Uhl said. "I'm happy to see them transition here and be a big part of this team."
Stanford opens the season at traditional power North Carolina on Friday. First home match for the Cardinal is Sept. 4 vs. UC Santa Barbara at 7:30 p.m. The Pac-12 opener is at Utah on Sept. 26. With teams playing each other once, Stanford is at preseason No. 1 UCLA on Oct. 9 in their only meeting.
"We are excited to get down there and play UCLA and see what we're made of," Uhl said. "We know they're a dominant program."
"UCLA is going to be a strong team again, but there are a lot of strong teams in the Pac-12," Ratcliffe said. "There is so much parity in women's soccer now that every game is going to be a challenge."

Twilight Preface Summary
How It All Goes Down
- The Preface jumps right into the action, starting the novel off with an unknown narrator (we later find out it's Bella) telling us that she's about to die.
- "The hunter" stares at her across the room, and she knows she's going to die.
- At least her death is going to be noble, since she's dying in place of someone she loves.
- And even though she's scared, she says, "When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end" (Preface.4).
- What kind of "dream" was she offered? Let's find out...

Jumping the Season with the Flower ShowsBy Colleen
There was no way I was going to miss the Show. Despite my recent eye surgery, I refused to bail on the long-planned bus trip to the Boston Flower Show with my best friend, Muriel. The sojourn had been paid bought and paid for months earlier; we needed a respite from winter, and anyway, what's a bandaged eye to a dedicated gardener? On the appointed morning, despite a few misgivings, off we went on the bus taking us northeast.
Truth be told, once we arrived, I caught only glimpses of many exhibits. The dark sunglasses I donned were awkward and clumsy. I bumped into people, and tired easily. I had to stop at regular intervals to administer eye drops.
I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Few events are as exhilarating as stepping into an oasis of spring in the midst of a New England February. There's nothing like inhaling the mingled smells of flowers, moss, green grass and new growth at a Flower Show. The excited babble of eager gardeners is incomparable. What a gift to plunge into the season weeks ahead of when Lady Spring makes her true entrance!
Want to see gardens in full bloom? Survey the latest garden gadgets, fertilizers, tools or what's new in lilies? How about a fresh approach to deer repelling? Need some information on garden planning, or about those new ultra-sweet cherry tomatoes? It's all there at the Flower Shows.
There's something for everyone, but it's important to have a plan. Grab a site map before entering and scope out what's most pertinent. If you wish to wander alone, arrange a meeting place with the compadres. Try not haul a purse; instead consider a reusable canvas bag, the better to stuff in free samples, literature, and those purchases you need to hide from your spouse.
Bring a camera; the display gardens are to die for, and though you think you'll remember how effectively azalea 'Bollywood' or humulus 'Aurea' was used, your memory will fail when you attempt to recall. Trust me on this.
Lug some snacks in your bag. Though the shows all offer refreshments, they may not have what you hanker for, or the lines may be long and it's best to keep yourself fueled while you're burning calories strolling the Show floor.
And then there's the lectures. Need to learn what's new in urban gardening? Want to be inspired by the Perennial Plants of the Year? Or to educate yourself and your partner on how to achieve a more eco-friendly lawn? Scan the list of lecturers, and plan to attend one or more of the free presentations. It's sometimes a chance to meet and greet your favorite garden author, but at a minimum you'll get a leg up on various gardening topics. Also, most shows offer a bookshop area; be sure to see what's new in horticultural writings. Often the areas host book signings by folks who deliver the lectures.
The Connecticut show Traditions of Nature, http://www.ctflowershow.com runs from Thursday, February 23 to Sunday, February 26 as does the Rhode Island show, Simple Pleasures, http://www.flowershow.com/ . The Boston Flower and Garden Show http://www.masshort.org/Blooms-and-the-Boston-Flower-&-Garden-Show runs from Wednesday March 14th until Sunday, March 19th, and granddaddy of all, Philadelphia, www.theflowershow.com runs from Sunday, March 4th until Sunday March 11th.
Though I've never again attended a garden symposium with a bandaged eye, late winter each year finds me plotting a way to fit in a visit to at least one of those harbingers of spring, the Flower Shows.
I'll be presenting at the Rhode Island Flower Show on Saturday, February 25th; the Syracuse Flower Show on Saturday, March 3rd; the Chicago Flower Show on Monday, March 12th; and the Boston Flower Show on Saturday, March 17th. Stop by & see me!

Master-Apprentice training
Participate in Master-Apprentice Training
You can take part in Master-Apprentice training through the DRIL training program.
RNLD now offers a nationally accredited Certificate II in the Master-Apprentice Language Learning Program.
Master-Apprentice in Australia
In March 2012, RNLD auspiced two 3-day workshops to train thirty-six Indigenous trainers from thirty-one language groups across Australia in the Master-Apprentice Language Learning Program (MALLP) method. This project was a Strategic Initiative funded through the Indigenous Languages and Arts program.
- to develop a pool of Indigenous regional trainers who will subsequently be able to deliver expert training in the Master-Apprentice method in communities, Indigenous organisations, and key Indigenous educational institutions across Australia,
- to offer training in methods appropriate for use in locations which do not have a fluent language speaker population and thus which are not yet ready to develop Master-Apprentice teams; for example, 'language pods', which have been developed in the US by communities such as the Yurok of Northern California,
- through this, to create local Master-Apprentice teams and language pods in numerous locations to help rebuild conversational fluency in Australia's Indigenous languages.
The Master-Apprentice method pairs one speaker of the language (the master) with one apprentice belonging to the same ancestral language group, and the pair is trained in one-on-one language immersion techniques. The trained team commits to spending at least ten hours per week together teaching and learning the language.
The method was developed in the USA, where it is managed by the Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival (AICLS).
The Master-Apprentice manual describes the method and activities in detail.
How to Keep Your Language Alive: A Commonsense Approach to One-on-One Language Learning by Leanne Hinton with Matt Vera and Nancy Steele (2001) Berkeley: Heyday Books.
AICLS has developed a list of wordless books you can use in Master-Apprentice training.

Breaking Dawn
by Stephenie Meyer
Breaking Dawn Book 2, Chapter 12 Summary
How It All Goes Down
Some People Just Don't Grasp The Concept Of "Unwelcome"
- Much to their frustration, Leah joins Jacob and Seth. Although she's not fan of vampires, she claims she needs to look after Seth, her younger brother. Plus, she's excited to be away from Sam's pack, because she still suffers from being his "pathetic ex-girlfriend."
- Leah reveals that Sam plans to first talk to the Quileute tribe elders before launching an attack.
- At the Cullen house, Carlisle thanks Jacob for protecting their family. He explains to Jacob that Bella is like a daughter to him. He believes that the right thing to do is to respect her decision to have the baby.
- Carlisle explains that he discovered that the genetic make-up of vampires and humans is more similar than he thought, which made it possible for Bella and Edward to produce a baby.
- He also reveals to Jacob that the baby is destroying her because her body rejects any form of nutrition to feed the fetus. Jacob muses that the baby probably wants blood instead of food.
- Hearing Jacob's thoughts, Edward suggests that they try feeding Bella human blood. Since he's a doctor, Carlisle has a large supply of donated blood in the house. Bella takes her first vampire-ish act with humor: "Practice for the future, right?" (12.221).

New to OpenGL, My 3D shapes have invisible sides when rotating?Posted Sunday, 10 June, 2012 - 14:34 by samerater in
I assume that the depth buffer is not enabled.
You'll need something like this:
GL.DepthMask(true); GL.Enable(EnableCap.DepthTest); GL.ClearDepth(1.0f); // clear before starting to draw geometry
and make sure you set the depthbuffer bits on the GraphicsMode.
If you can't fix it please post your code so we can help you :-)
Thank you very much, that works. I really appreciate the help.
Also, I think I set up the perspective wrong. If I draw the shapes further back in z, they do not appear to be any smaller. What is the best way to set up the perspective for glcontrol?
i was going to say, also if you see suddenly parts of it 'disappear' as its rotating or moving, the polygons could be going beyond the clipping plane, meaning they wont get rendered (this is set up when you make the ortho or perspective projections)

"This Five Star palace restoration breaks the mould of the generic royal palace that scatters the terrain of Rajasthan. Instead of conforming to the usual ostentatious preservation of regal Rajput splendour, the palace combines minimal modern design with its original features. Uncluttered by pomp, 39 luxury suites have all white walls, stone floors, marble bathrooms, hot tubs, balustraded terraces, and hints of historical Indian artworks. Nooks and crannies throughout the palace on all levels are historical spaces come romantic areas for reading, relaxation or even private dining for two. Swimming pool, lawns, vegetable gardens, and spa area surround the palace. Stunning views further afield of villages, steaming greenery, wheat fields and mountains. Magnificent sitting room with marble floors, billiards room and bar terrace. Refreshingly modern, definitely luxury, and very romantic. "

The Dothan City School Board approved its 2009 capital outlay plan Monday night.
The plan sets priority to projects and also places price tags on the construction or renovation proposals.
The plan makes safety the first priority by placing a $300,000 security camera upgrade at the top of the list. That is followed by the much-talked about roof makeovers for Dothan Technology Center and Northview High school for $1.85 million.
Dothan City Schools CFO, Mike Manuel, says the additions and renovations for Dothan High School's science and arts building are in the planning stages and will cost about $6 million.
New to the 2009 plan are adding classrooms to Grandview and Selma St. Elementary Schools. Manuel estimates an increase of 40-60 students at Selma and around 100 for Grandview following re-zoning of the school district.
Plans are underway to add portable classrooms to those schools until the new ones can be completed.
Other News...
CFO Mike Manuel says the School Board's more than $1 million dollars at Wachovia Bank is safe. The Board's Child Nutrition Program is located at Wachovia. Manuel says the deposits are protected by a combination of FDIC insurance and the State of Alabama's "Security for Alabama Funds Enhancement" program.
Ted Hall with Dothan City Schools say enrollment is up by 67 students at Dothan City Schools:
-Up 54 at Elementary
-Up 10 at Middle
-Down 96 at High School
Hall explains that the high school number is actually 56 because the system no longer counts kids in the CITY program, for at-risk students with legal issues. Hall says the move should also help Dothan High achieve a better graduation rate to meet AYP.

People are flocking to Dallas. The city's 2014 population is nearly 1.25 million, and a handful of suburbs to the north are some of the fastest-growing areas in the nation. Dallas city officials and developers are scrambling to give area residents the amenities they desire.
After decades of neglect, West Dallas is booming. Trinity Groves is a burgeoning restaurant center in a former dilapidated part of this neighborhood, which sits just across the Trinity River from downtown.
No fewer than nine restaurants are open with at least six more expected to come online soon, and locals are flocking to the area nightly.
The seven-acre, $50 million mixed-use development known as Sylvan | Thirty recently opened its first store—a Cox Farms Market that bills itself as a family-owned, farm-fresh organic grocer offering plenty of local foods. Other tenants include a ramen noodle restaurant, a yoga studio and CrossFit gym, each of which is expected to open soon. The apartments aren't completely finished, but officials hope to have people start moving in to the roughly 200 residential spaces by the end of 2014.
Another residential complex is under construction just east on Fort Worth Avenue at the site of the former Dallas West Mobile Home and RV park. Developers plan to build high-end apartments on the eight-acre site located minutes from downtown. About one block in the other direction, owners of the Belmont Hotel plan to construct another roughly 325 apartments.
A few miles south of West Dallas, the Bishop Arts District has become one of the hottest spots in the city, expanding beyond a couple blocks of boutique shops and restaurants to now include a bookstore and even more high-end eateries, such as Boulevardier, which The Dallas Morning News recently dubbed one of Dallas' "most likable restaurants." Dozens of dilapidated properties are for sale in the area, as investors and families alike flock to the area seeking good deals on real estate in one of the city's most walkable neighborhoods.
When the Calatrava-designed Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge opened at the end of March 2012, city officials hoped it would kick-start a resurgence in West Dallas, but few could have envisioned the transformation that's occurred in just two short years.
Dallas officials have long hoped Victory Park would also become a commercial hub. Outside the American Airlines Center recently, city leaders rolled out the red carpet, complete with two elephants, for members of the Republican National Committee, as the city attempts to woo the GOP in hopes of hosting the political party's 2016 convention.
About 10 years ago, the area consisted of nothing but vacant buildings and a bunch of long-forgotten rail lines. Now there's a W hotel, more than 1,000 residences and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science. And developers continue to enhance the area with new retail and restaurants.
Just up Maple Avenue, construction on yet another apartment building began in Uptown. The Uptown Plaza will sit adjacent to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas campus and is a short walk to Dallas' Klyde Warren Park, which has become the go-to spot for many city-sponsored events, as well as residents wanting a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Including Uptown Plaza, there are currently four high-rise apartment buildings under construction in Uptown, just north of downtown Dallas. Further proof that Big D continues to live up to its name.

Take a look around. Everything seems to be moving so quickly. Today's world is a fast paced, go-go, what's next, sort of place. We should all strive to take a few moments to slow things down a bit. Fortunately, we now have a soundtrack to help us achieve that very thing and it comes in the form of the new album by the Rhode Island based doom metal trio known as Pilgrim, "II: Void Worship".
"II: Void Worship" is a sequel to their first album, "Misery Wizard" which I was unfamiliar with prior to hearing this new album. So, this was my introduction to Pilgrim.
Pilgrim's "Misery Wizard" is an album that pays tribute to doom metal by concentrating solely on the singular root of the genre. Where modern doom metal acts like Candlemass, Type O Negative or Crowbar have injected fantasy, blues or visceral attitude to twist the genre to their liking, Pilgrim has added none of those embellishments.

The budget cuts proposed under Governor Schwarzenegger's latest plan would include some hefty cuts to the state parks department. This would result in 48 parks across California being closed down!
The International Mountain Bicycling Association has some information on their website , including a link to email legislators and the Governor that you disapprove of this. There isn't any word on what would happen to the parks onces they're closed, but you got to figure if the state needs money, chances are they'll be sold off to private developers. Not cool.
It sounds like he is on a rampage: Surfline.com talks about how he followed up this news by "urging the California Coastal Commision to approve the 241-toll road extension, which, if completed, would run through San Onofre State Park".
After a long, long day of discussion and deliberation, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) voted against the proposed toll road through San Onofre State park.. There was an unprecedented turnout of over 2,000 people at the CCC hearing yesterday. with a strong showing of supporters from both sides. The meeting began around 9am and a decision was finally rendered around 11:30pm! It was a long, arduous process for everyone involved, but at the end of the day, it proved to be an important, precendent setting decision. Although this gives opponents of the proposed toll road a stronger foothold, the battle is far from over. The TCA will likely appeal the decision to the federal government and the battle will continue.
No matter where you stand on the issue, one can't help but take pride in participating in the democratic process. It was an incredible experience that I won't soon forget.
I just received an email from Gov. Schwarzenegger himself:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about funding for our State Parks system in the 2008-09 Fiscal Year. I appreciate hearing from fellow Californians during this difficult budget year.
California's natural beauty is renowned throughout the world, and I have made it my priority to protect our environment so future generations of Californians can continue to experience and enjoy what we have all come to love. Our state parks provide a fantastic introduction for each of these generations to the California experience and help to bring our residents and visitors closer to our landscapes.
I heard your concerns when I submitted my first budget proposal in January, and I'm happy to write you today to inform you that the May Revision of my budget restores funding for the California Department of Parks and Recreation - keeping all of our 278 State Parks open and our State Beaches fully staffed with seasonal lifeguards. My revised budget proposal will provide $11.8 million from the General Fund and $1.5 million from increased State Park fees to keep our parks open. The fee increases will range from $1 to $2 at selected parks.
It goes on to say that there are still significant budget problems, he's working to change that, and you can help by buying California Lottery tickets. But this sounds like good news so far, right?
This kind of thing reminds me how important it is to vote for candidates who respect the environment and acknowledge the need for open public spaces. This is especially true for federal land, where protection starts from the top down.
