Chaos Abounds: Part Two
But no sooner is he on the bed than he lifts his leg and – what the hey - pees on my brand new duvet! He's never peed inside the house before! I yank him off the bed, drag him down the stairs, and as I push him outside, I notice that my backyard looks different. Patio furniture has been rearranged, potted plants have been moved, and a dormant water fountain is not just running, but overflowing and flooding the patio; even my wind chimes are hanging from different locations. Huh?
Then I'm distracted by an odd sound in front of the house. So I return inside and open the front door, where I startle a shifty-looking man with a cable in his hand. Nearby, three other men are waiting for him. When I ask what they're up to, he confesses they're running a cable underneath my home so they can hack into my DSL and hijack my DirecTV. Then his friends push their way into my home.
In a panic, I grab my cell to dial the police. But apparently, my stupid cell is on the fritz because it keeps flashing hieroglyphics and lightening bolt-symbols on the display screen. So I use my landline to dial the operator and tell her it's an emergency and to connect me with the police immediately. And she does so.
In San Diego.
I don't friggin' live in San Diego, I scream into the phone! I need the local police! And I keep trying to redial, but it's useless because now my landline has locked up too. Meanwhile, strangers are multiplying as they invade my yard and crawl throughout every room in my home; some even sit at my kitchen table, helping themselves to a cup of coffee.
My heart is pounding so loudly and wildly, it feels like a jackhammer is about to rip right through my chest: I need the police! I need Jack Bauer! I need help and I'm gasping and panicking and can't breathe and…
I wake up.
Elvis is snoring on the floor alongside my bed. In the golden haze of early morning sunshine, all is peaceful and quiet. Except for an odd sound: the pulsating, reverberating beat of Ricky Ricardo pounding out Babalu on his conga drums.
Oh. Wait. That's my heart.
I try to go back to sleep, but that's pretty much a lost cause, what with Ricky in my chest and all. So I go downstairs to enjoy a soy latte and appreciate the serenity of my beautifully empty home.
And all is right and good with the world. For now.

A Day in the Life of Chaos
Work is always chaotic, but lately, things have kicked up a notch and I'm trying to keep my head above water, really I am. But with every breath I take, it seems I gulp a bit of water and sink a bit deeper and I'm starting to make sloppy mistakes. Little ones sure, but I swear, it's the little ones, like dropped commas, that haunt me the most. As a marketing writer, of course they would. That's like a surgeon leaving a sponge inside a patient, or an accountant who subtracts six from ten and gets three. But my brain is on overload and hey, it's not a very big brain to begin with. Hear that sizzle? That's my brain. Fried.
And then I come home and pick up my mail. Every day there are reminders, so many reminders. From Kaiser: time for your annual mammogram! Time for your annual GYN! Hey, now that you've hit the half-a-century mark, you get to enjoy your very first colonocsopy—it's time for that, too!
And letters from my Home Owners Association aka the Gestapo: Guess what you lucky homeowner: you are being assessed almost $1,000 because our building construction plan ran over budget and total blowhards that we are, we just took it upon ourselves to spend money we didn't have rather than budget for it accordingly. So now each of you, the schmucks who voted us into office, owes us $1,000. Payable immediately, thank you very much.
And from Charles Schwab: remember that $140,000 you socked away for your retirement? Well, it's now worth $62.58 and you get to retire, well, never. Sorry 'bout that. Thank you for your business.
And my iPod died.
And did I mention my mom took a spill? Her naughty greyhound, Lucy, caught sight of a kitty and tried taking after it. But Lucy forgot that Mom was on the other end of the leash and said leash twisted around Mom's ankles and knocked her to the ground. Pavement, of course. Nothing broke, thank God, but when you're 72 years old, getting slapped in the face with concrete is no minor ordeal. Knees and elbows are stiff and swollen. Ribs are sore. Every step hurts. Crutches are needed. So now I'm running double-duty, driving the 20 miles round trip to walk Mom's dogs, do her grocery shopping, run errands, prepare meals. Of which I'm more than pleased to do- I adore my mom. I just wish there were more hours in the day.
And in the meantime, the lower half of my face is still completely numb from the maxillofacial surgery I had seven months ago. My surgeon, Dr. Hottie, warned that nerve regeneration could take up to TWO years and so, I'm trying to keep the faith, and – ha – keep a stiff upper lip. But I'm not sure that anyone can truly understand how challenging it is to have a face that is completely, totally dead from the nose down. Friends swear they don't notice any change in my speech and facial expressions and this comforts me because my face FEELS paralyzed. If you've ever had novacaine for a dental procedure and remember how discombobulated and weird and frozen your face felt, well, that's mine, only ten times worse. For seven friggin' months. Dead.
So having said all this, is it any wonder that last night I succumbed and hit the sauce? Yes, that's right. I know it's unhealthy and addictive and fattening, but I needed to drown my sorrows, so yes, I turned to the sauce.
Hot fudge, that is. And not the organic Chocolate Moo from Trader Joe that I enjoy sparingly once a week, but walloping servings of the ooey-gooey-million-calorie-per-teaspoon-clog-those-arteries-died-and-gone-to-heaven hot fudge. Poured in tsunami waves over two wading pool servings of mouth watering mint-chocolate chip ice cream. Oh, it was good. Evil. Delicious. Medicinal.
Because hey: a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. And did I mention that its been crazy busy these past few months...sigh…and with no end in sight?

The Not-So-Fast and the Furious
Unless, that is, you happen to be the woman who was too busy yapping on her cell phone to notice that traffic had come to a dead halt; subsequently, she tapped the back fender of the car in front of her. Not hard, mind you. But enough to trigger her air bag,which exploded in her surprised face and imbedded her cell phone as a permanent earpiece.
I confess, it made me snort. Oh c'mon, who doesn't like to see an inattentive driver get their comeuppance?
And that was me, trying to be attentive when I noticed a black Ford SUV to my right, slightly ahead, sloooowly drifting into my lane. Maybe I was in the driver's blind spot. Maybe the driver hadn't looked over his shoulder, maybe he hadn't notice there wasn't space to squeeze his behemoth vehicle into or hey, maybe he had just been discharged from a nearby clinic and was still under heavy sedation from his ice pick lobotomy.
So I gave a few frantic taps on my horn. Not a loud, rude, "YouAreSuchAnIdiot" foghorn kind of blast, but a "Hey hey hey, you're about to cause us both a pain in the neck" type of warning. Said driver heeded the horn and moved back into his lane.
Crisis averted. Or so I thought.
Because just seconds later I pulled up alongside the driver, prepared to give a little "no hard feelings" wave, and was greeted with an unexpected sight: a sweet-looking, professionally-dressed young woman, sticking her head out the window and shooting bullets with her eyes while flipping me the bird with both hands. My passenger window was rolled up so I was spared her screaming words. However, if my lip-reading skills are as good as I think they are, I'm pretty sure she wasn't wishing me "luck."
What the hey? She performed a careless maneuver, she almost hit me and I'm the bad guy here? And I was reminded of an article I read that mourned the death of driver's training as part of the high school curriculum. Most schools discontinued the program in the mid-eighties due to budget cutbacks. As a result, drivers are now getting their version of driver's ed through games like Grand Theft Auto and movies like The Fast and the Furious. Sure, they're learning the logistics of operating a car, but is anyone teaching the importance of simple courtesies, like turn signals, hand waves, and the zipper method for merging? 900-pound vehicals are being propelled by hot-headed Road Warriors and it's every man for himself.
And, so it seems, every woman. Even sweet-looking, professional ones.

Sorry if this issue has already been addressed and answered, but I can't find it anywhere.
How do I/Can I fetch the current site's ID?
(Or blogs? sorry, not sure which terminology is being used)
I would like to set up a check whether you are currently viewing the main site or a sub site, something like;
if ( blog_ID = 1 ) {
You are on the main site
} else {
You are on a sub site
I found this code in the codex;
$blog_details = get_blog_details(1);
echo 'Blog '.$blog_details->blog_id.' is called '.$blog_details->blogname.'.';
So what I need is to get the ID and insert it where that code suggests a check for Blog ID 1's details.
Thanks in advance!

SAN FRANCISCO -- With a sweeping California law allowing the collection of DNA from anyone arrested for a felony hanging in the balance, a federal appeals court on Monday struggled with whether a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling forecloses a legal challenge to the controversial law enforcement practice in this state.
A special 11-judge 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals appeared at times inclined to find that the Supreme Court decision this year upholding a similar Maryland law may trump efforts to overturn California's DNA collection law. But during an hour of arguments, some of the judges also expressed concern that California's law is much broader than Maryland's, permitting the collection of DNA from arrestees even if they are never charged with a crime.
"California is pretty extreme," 9th Circuit Judge Harry Pregerson told the state's lawyer at one point.
In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of Maryland's law, likening collection of DNA samples to fingerprinting suspects booked into police custody. Maryland's law, however, permits DNA collection only from those charged with a serious felony, and after a judge finds probable cause they committed the crime.
The American Civil Liberties Union argues that the Supreme Court's reasoning would not support California's law, which lets law enforcement to collect DNA samples at the time of arrest and keep the results in a state database, even if the suspect is never charged.
Several 9th Circuit judges grilled ACLU lawyer Michael Risher on Monday, suggesting the Supreme Court's Maryland ruling, written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, would allow DNA collection at the time of arrest because it is the same as fingerprinting. Judge Milan Smith noted that Justice Antonin Scalia, who wrote the dissent in the Maryland case, warned that Kennedy's outcome would result in allowing DNA collection in any arrest.
"The reality is the Supreme Court said (in the Maryland case) that DNA was like fingerprinting," Smith told Risher. "If (Scalia) is correct ... you are out of luck, are you not?"
Added Judge Raymond Fisher: "It seems the thrust of the (Supreme Court) majority opinion is that DNA, no matter how it comes into the possession of the government in terms of arrests, is an incredibly valuable tool."
Attorney General Kamala Harris has urged the 9th Circuit to uphold the California law, arguing that there are no "constitutionally significant" differences between her state's law and Maryland's. The Obama administration has sided with California, citing the importance of DNA in solving crimes across the country, where 28 states now allow some form of DNA collection from felony arrest suspects.
Chief Judge Alex Kozinski suggested there may be a middle ground, allowing the court to send the issue back to the lower courts to review in light of the Maryland ruling. Among other issues, Kozinski noted that the ACLU's case is now too broad because of the Maryland decision and that a smaller group of people might be able to make viable claims that the DNA collection violated their privacy rights.
Risher, the ACLU's lawyer, urged the 9th Circuit to resolve the broader legal questions now.
The 9th Circuit ordered the new arguments earlier this year to give each side an opportunity to address the Supreme Court's ruling in Maryland v. King. The 9th Circuit had put the California challenge on hold to await the outcome of the Supreme Court's decision in the Maryland case.

Technical Abstract: Common dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum Poir.) is an important forage grass in the southeastern U.S. Besides common, there are several other dallisgrass biotypes but little is known about their forage potential. Five apomictic dallisgrass biotypes (common, prostrate, Torres, Uruguaiana, and Uruguayan) were grown at College Station, Texas, and Baton nRouge, Louisiana, to learn more about their forage production, quality, an persistence. Torres and Uruguaiana biotypes did not persist at either location. In Texas, the forage yields of the common, prostrate, and Uruguayan biotypes were similar; however, in Louisiana, prostrate and Uruguayan produced significantly more forage than common because of its poor persistence. At both locations, there were not significant differences in mean CP, NDF, ADF, and IVTD for common, prostrate, and Uruguayan. Uruguayan and common were evaluated under grazing at Jeanerette, Louisiana, and the Uruguayan biotype was more persistent than common.

Hiatal Hernia
Hiatal Hernia Symptoms & Signs
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Most hiatal hernias are of the so-called "sliding" type, in which the junction of the esophagus and stomach and part of the stomach protrude into the chest. The junction may reside permanently in the chest, but often it juts into the chest only during a swallow. These hernias can and most often do occur without producing symptoms at all. When they do produce symptoms, they are the typical symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Heartburn, regurgitation, and nausea are common symptoms. Other symptoms can include chest pain or burning and difficulty swallowing. A bloated feeling after meal consumption and shortness of breath sometimes occur.

I had another night of "contractions" so also shattered today - been really regular - every 10 mins and lasting a good 45 seconds, but get the feeling this is going to take a while.

On the Road
by Jack Kerouac
On the Road Madness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Part.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #40
It was remarkable how Dean could go mad and then suddenly continue with his soul - which I think is wrapped up in a fast car, a coast to reach, and a woman at the end of the road - calmly and sanely as though nothing had happened. "I get like that every time in Denver now - I can't make that town any more. Gookly, gooky, Dean's a spooky. Zoom!" (III.9.6)
Sal seeks to understand Dean's madness, but recognizes that doing so isn't completely possible.
Quote #41
At intermissions we rushed out in the Cadillac and tried to pick up girls all up and down Chicago. They were frightened of our big, scarred, prophetic car. In his mad frenzy Dean backed up smack on hydrants and tittered maniacally. By nine o'clock the car was an utter wreck; the brakes weren't working any more; the fenders were stove in; the rods were rattling. Dean couldn't stop it at red lights, it kept kicking convulsively over the roadway. It had paid the price of the night. It was a muddy boot and no longer a shiny limousine. (III.10.7)
The destructiveness of Dean's madness is evident in the physical destruction of the car.
Quote #42
By this time Dean was so exhausted and out of his mind that everything he saw delighted him. He was reaching another pious frenzy. He sweated and sweated. The moment we were in the new Chrysler and off to New York the poor man realized he had contracted a ride with two maniacs, but he made the best of it and in fact got used to us just as we passed Briggs Stadium and talked about next year's Detroit Tigers. (III.11.3)
Sal sees Dean's madness as akin to religious fervor. What exactly Dean is worshipping, however, is unclear.

Book Reviews Methods: French cooking soufflé
by host
3 comments
Soufflé à la Len Deighton
In my last post I mentioned the book Ou Est Le Garlic by well-known thriller writer Len Deighton as an example of the sub-genre of cookbooks for men—particularly as it was reprinted as French Cooking for Men.
Curiosity got to me and I decided to find one for myself, securing this very nice copy of the original:
Once I started reading it, I was suprised by how little it fits in with the other manly cookbooks I talked about or their style. There's none of the overt sexism of A Man's Cookbook, for example. I'm not sure what makes it a cookbook for men other than its simplicity, inclusiveness and the "cook-strips" themselves. The only conclusion I can draw is that it's a cookbook for men because Len Deighton wrote it, and maybe the assumption is men need pictures to follow. And I'm comfortable with that given how good the cook-strips are.
In short, Ou Est Le Garlic is a great little cookbook. The text around the cook-strips is conversational, yet informative. The cook-strips themselves are clear and concise but detailed enough to provide a basic understanding of fifty classic French preparations. What Deighton tried to do is something similar to Mark Bittman's approach (on an obviously much smaller scale) in How to Cook Everything. Deighton selected what he belived to be fifty foundational recipes for French cuisine that could be varied in small ways to produce numerous other dishes. I appreciate this kind of cookbook as the assumption they start with is that the reader-cook has their own personal tastes that they'd like to apply in their cooking. It's the difference between following a recipe and learning a style of cooking. Ou Est Le Garlic may be an unassuming little paperback of what are essentially comic-strips with annotations, but Deighton really wants the reader to learn the basics of good French cuisine—a noble aspiration.
So, the question is, does the book work? I decided to try it and see—selecting this strip on the classic French soufflé:
The task I set for myself was to follow Deighton's instructions closely and see how the proposed dish came out and what I learned from the experience. I chose the soufflé because—for some unknown reason—I've never really tried to cook a classic soufflé before. I've cooked a number of similar dishes: flan, popovers, crust-less quiches, meringues—but never really the soufflé itself. There's a popular image of the soufflé as a very challenging, uncompromising dish, but I'm a skeptic by nature. I've cooked a lot of weird, difficult things with the wrong equipment* under bad conditions. A few eggs, some flour and dairy products are not daunting to me.
Michelle provided some welcome assistance on this one: whipping the egg-whites in her brand new KitchenAid stand mixer—which she will be writing about in a future post—and conducting the all-important folding step, once I had completed the "creamy sauce" Deighton refers to in his strip.
The soufflé came together quite easily, and as per the process outlined in the strip, but the results were a little disappointing:
The flavour was excellent—light, airy, but with the richness of cheese (good gruyere)—but I expected more loft. The only drawback I can see to Deighton's strip is that he doesn't specify either the size of the dish [See: update below] or how much height to expect from his recipe. I used a very traditional Emile Henry soufflé dish—and there was only one size in the store—that certainly looks like the picture in Deighton's strip. But he neglected to provide a picture of the finished product. I expected it to puff up above the rim of the dish.
We have some thoughts around trying to achieve more loft the next time: cream of tartar in the egg whites, flouring the buttered dish and no cheese on top—we'll see next time if we get to a picture-perfect end product. Obviously that popular image of the soufflé as a challenging dish is not entirely urban myth.
So, maybe not an unqualified success, but the flavour was excellent. We'll definitely use this recipe again and I'm still pleased with Len Deighton's cookbook in general.
*On this occasion, I did go out and buy a soufflé dish, but please, we're civilized people here, n'est-ce pas?
Update: This is a perfect example of why doing cooking projects at night after a scotch & soda is not always the best strategy. Mr. Deighton clearly specified the size of the soufflé dish—it's right there in black-and-white above—five and a half inches across. So, later I will measure the one we actually used and provide another update—stay tuned. Management apologizes for the apparent stupidity of our testers…meaning, you know, me.
by Edward Milward-Oliver
Len Deighton created his cookstrips for The Observer newspaper, to be read by men and women readers alike! The first one was published in The Observer on Sunday 18 March 1962. They became one of the paper's most popular features, with readers demanding that the strips be printed on tea towels, laid in plastic tabletops, and turned into wallpaper for kitchen walls. Deighton produced a total of 189 cookstrips. The series ran until August 1966 and formed the basis for several best-selling books.
Thanks for the additional colour. I can certainly understand if they were that popular—the strips are really charming. It seems odd that if Deighton originally meant them for a general audience that "Ou Est Le Garlic" would be reprinted in 2009 as "French Cooking for Men."

YEAH FOR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES! I needed some good news!
I am so anxious I do not even know where to turn. I am in a job right now that is flexible and has some nice perks. However, I am not passionate about it and not particularly happy. I do appreciate the fact that I have a job. However, I decided to apply for my dream job. Much to my surprise, I got an interview and a second interview. I should find out today, although I have a hunch it will not be today (maybe tomorrow or so). The problem is, I am so anxious waiting for this job. There is a VERY good chance that I will NOT get it. I was pretty shocked to get an interview! I am sure the other applicant has more experience, better recommendations, is internal, etc. I REALLY want this job. I never really put myself out there and I feel like I did emotionally with this job. I also told family members and a couple friends, which I am now regretting. I know it is really pessimistic, but I am kind of waiting for the "no thank you" call/email. Sorry, for the long, Debbie-downer rant, I am really struggling with the roller coaster. Thanks for listening!

This title includes the powerful, poignant and unforgettable portraits of soldiers in charcoal and pastel. Eric Kennington produced during the Second World War established him as 'among the most capable draughtsmen' of the day. He was frequently mentioned by leading art critics as equal in skill to contemporaries such as Augustus John, William Orpen and John Singer Sergeant. His work was routinely placed in the same class as such giants from the past as Botticelli, Van Eyck, Durer, Hans Holbein the Younger, Cranach, Ingres and Goya. The incisive, crystalline quality of his draughtsmanship was especially admired, the variety of effects he could achieve with the subtlest change in pressure on a stick of charcoal or pastel. This book brings together a fine selection of Kennington's war portraits, along with accounts of his sitters' dramatic careers and the context of these works.

The Dubai Pet Show takes place on 8th February 2012 at the Sevens sports stadium. You can bring your dog and have a great day out!
There is a tent for cat lovers too but you're not allowed to bring your cat (yes, that's Happydoggy breathing a sigh of relief all the while pretending to be disappointed).
We went last year and were amazed at how many dogs there are in Dubai. Because there are no dog-friendly outdoor parks in Dubai, it's such a treat for a dog to get together with so many others. You have to keep your dog leashed at all times while you are there but it's still a wonderful experience.
We're definitely going again this year.
New Rules and Regulations
Following the sad incident last year, new rules have come into force for this year's show.
There will also be a visible presence of Dubai Municipality to ensure that the rules are complied with. You can see these rules on the Dubai Pet Show 2013 website.
To help more people see them, I've replicated them here:
- The following breeds are banned by the Dubai Municipality and will not be admitted to the Pet Show:
- All kinds of Pit Bull Terriers
- American Pit Bull Terrier
- Brazilian Fighting Dog
- Argentinean Fighting Dog
- American Staffordshire Terrier
- Japanese Tosa
- Wolf dog
- Rottweiler
- Doberman
- Shar Pei
- Any cross breed from the above
- Authorized Dubai Municipality Vets at the entry gates will check all dogs and entry will be based on their discretion.
- Dog owners should present their pet's registration and vaccination booklets to Dubai Municipality Staff at the entry gates.
- Puppies under 6 months of age are not allowed entry to the event.
- Dogs must be kept on a short leash at all times and leashes must be held by adults.
- Should the Authorized Dubai Municipality Vets at the entry gates deem it necessary that certain dogs be muzzled, the same shall be muzzled throughout the duration of the event. In which case, muzzles must be provided by the pet owners.
- Dubai Municipality Inspectors at the venue are authorized to impose penalties on pet owners who do not abide by the rules and regulations of the event.
- Dubai Municipality Inspectors reserve the right to expel anyone from the event venue for inappropriate behavior or signs of aggression.
- Dog owners are responsible for the actions of their dogs.
May I just add another rule – Please pick up after your dog. It's shocking how many people don't even when there are clear signs and free waste bags dotted around.
Exhibits and Stands
There is always a lot going on. You'll find:
- Fun competitons for your dog – fancy dress, dog most like owner, happiest dog… (hmm Happiest Dog… I wonder…)
- Police dog demonstrations
- Face painting for children
- Grooming advice
- Lots of goodies to buy for your pet. Most exhibitors offer great discounts on the day.
- Advice on where to go for Day-care (I recommend Woof)
- … and a host of other things.
Adopt a Dog
K9 will be exhibiting dogs that need a new and loving home. You will see the K9 dogs being walked around throughout the morning.
They'll also be in the show-ring at 10:30am and 1:15pm. If you are thinking about adopting a dog, be sure to head over and speak to the handlers. They will be happy to answer all your questions.
Are you planning on going?

Though many might imagine faith and science as incompatible, religion and atomic science, at least, are natural bedfellows. Both lead their truest devotees into a troubled insomnia, staring wide-eyed at dark ceilings as undeniably existential matters banish any thought of sleep. The first nuclear test was itself an oddly syncretistic undertaking--bearing the moniker of the Christian Godhead, Trinity; recounted by J. Robert Oppenheimer with his infamous appropriation of the Hindu scriptures; and, in the explosion, the apotheosis of materialism itself, rending the very building blocks of the universe. And, as the nuclear age took shape, humanity's faith traditions proved instrumental as centers of resistance to what many of us see as categorically immoral devices.
In the storied and steady history of faith-based opposition to nuclear weapons, however, mainstream U.S. Evangelicals have been notably absent. Such has been our (yes, I'm one) absence that Michael Sean Winters, blogging on the website of the Catholic magazine America, wrote last week of the new Two Futures Project, "Nothing in recent memory is stranger than the emerging alliance between a group of activist evangelicals and former Cold War statesmen in support of an effort to eliminate nuclear weapons."
As the founder and director of said alliance, I'm delighted to discover that we're so superlative.
Last week we launched the Two Futures Project, a Christian movement led by a new generation of U.S. Evangelicals--with the blessing of our older forebears--for the complete, multilateral abolition of nuclear weapons. We have no illusions that the process will be quick or easy, and thus, are preparing for the work of a generation--to ensure nonpartisan continuity of purpose in U.S. political leadership for a nuclear-weapon-free world. Our goal is rooted in "the power of the ought," as Max Kampelman and George Shultz call it, securing unshakable support for a post-atomic age, with the intention that its attainment would become the north star, or organizing principle, for U.S. nuclear policy.
Winters, a devout Catholic, isn't the only person surprised by the Two Futures Project launch and the breadth of Evangelical support for our initiative--and with good reason. Though Evangelical statesmen such as John Stott, Billy Graham, and Jim Wallis--not to mention the steadfast witness of our Evangelical Anabaptist brethren--have raised voices in opposition to nuclear weapons, Evangelicalism has been tacitly or actively supportive of at least nuclear deterrence. So why the present shift?
The answer is primarily rooted in the obsolescence of factors such as a zealous anticommunism and a cultural distaste for the progressive advocates of disarmament. Such considerations, though of considerable importance to Christians in the 1960s and 1970s, have little bearing on a generation presently coming of age. These cultural attitudes may have persisted into the present day, but they have no potency or resilience. In other words, Evangelicals default to a Cold War position supporting nuclear weapons--just like most Americans--primarily because nobody has suggested we do otherwise.
But when Evangelicals today actually consider the effects of even a single nuclear weapon, the old logics fall away. Instead, we see a catastrophic event on a number of issues near and dear to the Christian heart--the destruction of innocents; massive degradation to the environment; and the little-discussed financial fallout that would probably be the most devastating worldwide consequence of a Bomb, bringing untold suffering especially to populations that already exist on the margins of the global economy.
This generational shift in U.S. Christianity has a providential synchronicity with the sea change in prevailing political attitudes about the role and utility of nuclear weapons. The shift in nuclear paradigms from the Cold War to the post-9/11 era will of course be well-known to Bulletin readers. The new view, articulated in varied ways by the Shultz foursome and the Global Zero coalition--and, most recently/significantly by presidents Barack Obama and Dmitry Medvedev--recognizes that traditional deterrence is obsolete in the age of asymmetric warfare, that nonproliferation is no longer credible unless yoked with a serious commitment to disarmament, and that the alternative to a nonproliferation-disarmament agenda is eventual proliferation leading someday to the use of a nuclear weapon, whether by accident or design.
But discussion of this new realization has been largely confined to the nuclear technocracy--scientists, diplomats, politicians, and military leaders--without a broader public consideration, including the faith community. As a result, the profound moral implications of this shifted paradigm haven't yet received their proper due.
Consider, for example, the U.S. Catholic Bishops' 1983 pastoral letter--the most in-depth theological examination of nuclear weapons in the Cold War. It resulted in widespread public consideration of nuclear weapons and their implications. Yet the letter pulled up short of a categorical denunciation, citing a provisional acceptance of nuclear deterrence as an interim step to disarmament. Put simply, the bishops recognized that it is better for a nuclear weapons not to be used than the opposite, and so deterrence, though its premises are ethically dubious, is from a certain perspective at least morally plausible--that is, one could make a good-faith argument in its favor during the Cold War.
But what about now, when the bilateral status quo of the Cold War no longer offers deterrence its peculiarly terrifying stability? What about an age in which a besieged Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty means that all scenarios except global zero eventually lead to nuclear use? What about an age in which the threat of nuclear terrorism reveals deterrence theory as a Maginot Line--decent at preventing a frontal attack, but utterly useless against a more creative adversary?
In other words, the largely unrealized particularity of our present circumstances and any imaginable future mean that nuclear weapons are unarguably morally bankrupt, with a corollary mandate that demands abolition.
As U.N. disarmament chief Sergio Duarte points out, disarmament represents the fusion of idealism and realism: It's the right thing to do, and it works. There's an alignment between what we must do for our security, what we can do technologically, and what we ought to do morally. And it is my prayer--and ongoing labor--that U.S. churches will be the place where this threefold alignment is discovered and acted upon, creating an irresistible movement for an inevitably nuclear-weapon-free world.

'Smokey Bones' Menu Expands Beyond Barbecue Roots
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 5:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 5:51 p.m.
ATMOSPHERE: When Smokey Bones first opened its Lakeland location in 2005, the chain restaurant was themed like a Rocky Mountain Ski Lodge. Fast forward to now and the restaurant feels more like an Applebee's or T.G.I. Friday's. That being said, the restaurant is clean, spacious and well-lit. There are several TVs showing sports, music videos and random clips ranging from classic hockey fights to "The Three Stooges."
3901 U.S. Hwy 98 N.
Hours 11 a.m to 2 a.m. Monday-Saturday, 11 a.m. to midnight Sunday
WHAT'S NEW: With the remodel and branding, which happened in 2012, the menu was diversified. The barbeque is still there, but now there are items such as Cuban sandwiches, top sirloin steaks and build-your-own burgers.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: My cohort and I came for lunch last week. He had the smoked turkey with fries and broccoli and I had the Loaded BBQ Burger — a cheeseburger with pulled pork, barbeque sauce and two onion rings. The turkey had a nice flavor to it and my friend said the broccoli was well-cooked. My burger seemed lackluster. The barbeque sauce already on the burger gets lost when combined with pork and onion rings. I'd recommend slathering it in either the KC BBQ sauce (sweet) or the Chipotle BBQ sauce (spicy) to add flavor.
PRICE RANGE: Lunch menu $9.99 or below, dinner is between $8.49 (Pulled Pork Sammy) to $21.99 (full rack of baby back ribs).
AMBIENCE: 3 stars
FOOD: 2 1/2 stars
SERVICE: 3 stars

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, April 23, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- With the "New-U" come lots of new questions, and some people are worrying about their jobs.
News 12 was at both of the open forums on Monday, and there is some good news for employees.
Both Dr. Ricardo Azziz and Dr. William Bloodworth emphasize they are not expecting layoffs during the consolidation. If anything, they hope to grow even bigger as a new university.
"If we do not grow, we begin to shrink," GHSU President Azziz said.
Growth. Merger. Consolidation. Call it what you will ... the bottom line is change is coming for the two schools.
"I don't have concerns about expanding," said ASU Communications Lecturer Kathleen Trigg. "I have concerns about how we go about expanding."
Trigg was one of many people at the forums today, hoping to get more information about the merger.
"Reporting structures will change. Your seat may not be the same seat you had before," Azziz said.
But he also has good news about jobs at the two institutions.
"We have not really genuinely planned on cutting lots of positions -- or any positions -- at all."
"The key, though, is growth," said Azziz, explaining how growth might mean shuffling around positions that crossover.
The example he uses is that the new school will only need one registrar.
"They're both friends of mine!" exclaimed Trigg, referring to the two current registrars at the schools. "How is this going to be settled in a way that it's something we're all happy with?"
She says her main concern is adjusting and combining department positions while being respectful to the employees involved.
ASU President Bloodworth jokes they are already operating with a pretty lean university staff.
"Anybody work in an office that's overstaffed?" he questioned the audience. "I can't say don't be anxious," he added more seriously. "But I think I can say -- your job security is just as good going into the consolidation as it was beforehand."
ASU Student Government Association President Ethan Holliman is plugged in with what the students are talking about.
"There's a lot of discussion about the name. Also, a big concern with what tuition is looking like," he said.
Holliman said he personally hopes student involvement is still encouraged once the university expands.
"The good news is I've got [Dr. Azziz] on record saying he wants us to have student representation, he's open to it, wants us to have more," he said.
Overall, Trigg says these forums are helpful.
"What we did here today is wonderful. I would give President Azziz and President Bloodworth an 'A' in their communication for getting us together and talking with us."
The nursing programs of the two schools will begin consolidating this summer. The rest of the merger will take place in 2013.

Head Coach Lindy Ruff said the netminder suffered no setbacks yesterday in a full practice with the team and is within days of returning to the lineup.
"He reacted well, he had a good day," Ruff said. "He's coming along quick now."
Miller has missed the last 12 games after suffering a high-ankle sprain on Feb. 21 against the New York Rangers. In that span the Sabres have had a 3-7-2 record.
He participated in team's full workout Monday and continued to show improvement Tuesday at HSBC Arena.
"He looks good, he's moving well in the net," Derek Roy said. "It's great to see a competitor like him back at it, working hard… he's a warrior out there."
The Sabres may also see the return of Adam Mair by the end of the week. The winger suffered a mild strain in his knee March 14 against the Atlanta Thrashers.
"He's been practicing… so we'll get him ready," Ruff said. "Adam seems like he's back to almost full strength."
Ruff also indicated that Teppo Numminen's ankle has healed after having an infection last week.
The Sabres worked on special teams during practice on Tuesday, with a few changes to the power play units:
Dominic Moore - Thomas Vanek - Derek Roy - Craig Rivet - Toni Lydman
Drew Stafford - Paul Gaustad - Jason Pominville - Jaroslav Spacek - Tim Connolly

(WOMENSENEWS)--Byron Hurt wants to make one thing very clear: He loves hip-hop.
But the activist filmmaker has been questioning the music's depiction of women for more than a decade, long before Don Imus' slur of black female college basketball stars set off a national debate on the language that some rappers use.
For years Hurt raised questions about the treatment of women as an educator with a program about gender violence aimed at male college athletes.
These days he has shifted his focus to hip-hop's portrayal of women and has a film that does much of the talking and questioning for him. "Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes" explores manhood, sexism, violence and homophobia in hip-hop culture. It premiered at the Sundance film festival in 2006, has been shown at more than 30 international festivals and had its U.S. debut on PBS in February.
Currently, the film is being shown at colleges across the country, conferences, grassroots events and community programs. In May, the film will screen at a Swiss television conference and the Ford Foundation has launched a two-year initiative to screen it on historically black college campuses. Since the Imus controversy, Hurt said he has also received increased requests for media interviews and screenings.
The film is often accompanied with panel discussions or question-and-answer sessions that Hurt tries to attend. There are also resources available to go along with the film such as a classroom curriculum for high school and college students that emphasizes media literacy and spurs students to think about hip-hop culture and masculinity.
The documentary is also being used as an education tool in the classroom. Gail Dines, for instance, a professor of sociology and women's studies and chair of American Studies at Wheelock College in Boston, shows the film in her courses on the sociology of race, women's studies and media.
"My students are the MTV generation, so they don't respond to print," said Dines. "They respond to images. That's why this film is so powerful. It uses hip-hop images to deconstruct hip-hop. It's rare that a documentary is a good teaching tool. Byron is an example of the work filmmakers can do if they are political and have courage."
'Getting Men to Speak Out'
"Byron has been out there for 14 years doing anti-sexism work," said Jackson Katz, author of the 2006 book, "The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help," and an educator and advocate who works on violence prevention programs with men and boys. "'Beyond Beats and Rhymes' takes that work to a new audience and medium, but it's the same activism. It's getting men to speak out about men's violence against women."
Hurt first began working on the film one afternoon in 2000, when he was watching Black Entertainment Television. One music video after another, he noticed, showed rappers posing and throwing money at the camera, with women dancing around them.
"I saw how formulaic, hypersexual, hyper-aggressive and materialistic the images were," said Hurt, who lives in Plainfield, N.J. "I thought to myself it's time to make a film. I pulled out a piece of paper and started writing a proposal."
In the film Hurt interviews well-known rappers and hip-hop moguls about masculinity and sexism and pays tribute to hip-hop, while questioning its representation of manhood and women.
"This film is Byron's autobiographical story," said Katz, who is also the co-founder of the gender-violence awareness program where Hurt began probing some of the issues raised in the film. "By Byron putting himself on camera and talking about his own journey, he puts a human face on a cultural critique of hip-hop and allows men--especially men of color--to go through that journey vicariously through him."
Hip-Hop Before Football
Hurt fell in love with hip-hip as a boy. Later, as a student at Northeastern University in Boston, where he studied radio and television journalism and was also a star quarterback, he listened to hip-hop before his football games to get psyched up. He never questioned the lyrics.
After he graduated in 1993 an athletic advisor recommended him as an educator for the violence prevention program that Katz co-founded, called Mentors in Violence Prevention, which is considered the leading prevention initiative used in professional and college athletic programs.
"I was reluctant to take the job," said Hurt. "I didn't know any other guys who spoke out about violence against women. I was concerned about how my male friends would view me. Now when I look back it seems so silly, but at the time it was really important."
But Katz invited Hurt to a workshop and during the training he asked the men what they did to prevent being raped and sexually assaulted. The answer came back: nothing.
When Katz asked the women the same question, though, they came up with a list of safeguards: everything from the buddy system to not jogging alone at night. Hurt had no idea that women took such active precautions as a matter of routine. He realized he could learn a lot from the job.
Hurt became a mentor training specialist, educating male athletes about violence against women. He started conducting workshops at college campuses in New England and eventually conducted them nationally and within the Marine Corps. He worked with Mentors in Violence Prevention until 1997.
Masculinity Explored on Film
Hurt also continued making documentaries. He produced his first film as a senior in college. Called "Moving Memories: The Black Senior Video Yearbook," it is about the trials and tribulations of being a black college student on a predominantly white campus in New England. Then he made "I Am a Man: Black Masculinity in America" in 1994, which looks at how issues of masculinity play out in society and the differences among races.
In his latest film one of the topics Hurt explores is how major corporations have narrowed hip-hop's portrayal of black manhood.
"Hip-hop has always been hyper-aggressive, homophobic and sexist, but there was more diversity before," said Hurt. "In mainstream hip-hop right now there's a more narrow vision of masculinity and manhood than in 1989 when hip-hop wasn't mainstream."
Mainstream hip-hop doesn't have to be so limited, though, as can be seen with the song "Classic" by Kanye West, Nas, KRS1 and Rakim, added Hurt, who describes the song as a demonstration of "pure" musical skill.
The filmmaker said that rap stars have a responsibility to expand the vision of masculinity by singing about topics other than drugs and violence--but consumers must also be critical of the music they purchase.
The problem, he added, is much bigger than hip-hop culture though. "How can you fight something as big as sexism, patriarchy and hyper-aggression? Boys and men all over the country--whether they listen to hip-hop or not--are indoctrinated. We need a broader education of boys and men that allows them to express the full range of manhood."

Second-half surge carries Albany past women's soccer
Sept. 27, 2012
Albany, N.Y. - Four second-half goals, including three in a span of five minutes, carried Albany to a 4-1 victory over the Stony Brook women's soccer team in Thursday's conference opener.
Coach's Reaction
"This was probably the strangest 4-1 result you'll ever see. We had plenty of scoring chances and we really controlled the possession and the momentum, but the better team doesn't always win. We lost our way late in the second half and had some defensive lapses, but credit Albany for finishing its chances and counterattacking well."

Jim Mora Jr. made his debut at UCLA in impressive fashion.
Although, Mora Jr. is known for his defense, the new offense captained by new OC, Noel Mazzone, was more notable. Last year, Rick Neuheisel had UCLA in a pistol system. It was awkward and sometimes uncomfortable to watch. Mazzone is known as a single back guru who loves to throw the rock. Mazzone unveiled a couple new wrinkles from his ASU days and it appears he has been studying Dana Holgerson at West Virginia. I'd noticed Mazzone combining running plays with short passing plays in the past and it looks like he's going to do this a lot more. The anatomy of the play is the OL is blocking like it's a draw play and the WR's are running a "Stick" passing concept. UCLA's Jonathan Franklin scored against Rice on a Stick/Draw combo play when the LB jumped the stick route instead of playing the run, focus on Rice's #44:
My guy, Chris Brown, does a great job of breaking this down over at Smartfootball.com. I figured it was easier to piggyback on his terrific analysis. We'll be seeing a lot more combo-plays in the Pac-12 now that Leach, RichRod, and Todd Graham are in the conference. Sarkisian, Kelly, and Mazzone have been running combos already. Here's a diagram below of a trips formation against a garden variety 2-deep 40-front nickel defense (cheers to Smartfootball for the image):
The QB is going to to read the circled defender. If the LB jumps the stick route, the QB hands off to the RB on a delayed draw. If the LB reads the OG's stays inside and honors his gap responsibility, the QB hits the slot on a 5-6 yard stick route. Whatever the LB decides to take away the QB is going to make him wrong. Here's a still image below of a 30 front defense:
Mazzone didn't run the QB much in his 2-year stint as ASU's OC from 2010-2011, but probably because of his personnel. The ASU QB's he inherited, Steven Threet and Brock Osweiler, were both tall more pocket-passer types, while Osweiler's athleticism was underrated, neither were fitted to run Zone-Reads or be much of a threat in the running game. Now at UCLA, Brett Hundley is a big, fast, and strong enough to take hits and make people miss, as evidenced in his first play from scrimmage:
Something to watch over the first half of the season is how much UCLA runs Hundley against Pac-12 teams.
Overall, I think Mazzone's offense is evolving by imploring a few Air-Raid concepts into his offense and more run/pass combo plays. The simple stick/draw play is a very safe call on 1st and 2nd down. I saw a lot less swing and bubble passes as compared to his time at ASU as well. One thing I've always admired about Mazzone is he calls a few passing concepts like Stick, Scat, and Snag throughout a game but he does it from different formations keeping it simple enough for his players while complicated enough for opposing defenses. I'm a fan of this new UCLA Offense and have a feeling it's going to put up a lot of points this season.
5 Comments on UCLA's New Offensive Look
September 3rd, 2012
If you watch the first video at :20 seconds (after the stick/draw combo) there's also a pass/run combination of an inside zone read + RB swing pass out of a split-back shotgun set.

Analysts Agree, an eBay Split-Up Is 'Unlikely'
PayPal is probably not separating from eBay – at least according to Wall Street analysts.
Analysts Wednesday said investor Carl Icahn faces long odds in his quest to split eBay in two. Icahn snatched up the equivalent of 0.82% of eBay shares and is pressing to get two of his employees onto the board of directors, eBay said.
"We put a low probability on eBay spinning off PayPal," wrote Brian Nowak, a Susquehanna Financial Group analyst in a note to clients. Nowak said eBay's mainstay marketplace unit "is a material and high margin driver of PayPal growth, bringing new users to PayPal with essentially zero customer acquisition cost."
Nowak had lots of company Wednesday, a day after Icahn disclosed his plan. Gene Munster, a Piper Jaffray analyst, said, "We believe a PayPal spinout in the next several years is highly unlikely." Colin Sebastian, of Baird Equity Research, gave it slightly better odds at just "unlikely."
"The company is best left as one entity given both segments face highly disruptive competitive environments," said Matt Nemer, of Wells Fargo.
The appeal of PayPal as a standalone company seems to be its faster revenue growth, rather than its profitability which trails that of eBay's traditional marketplace division. PayPal revenue grew 19% in last year's final quarter, outpacing marketplace's growth of 12%, and is on a pace to become the biggest eBay unit by sales.
For its part, eBay vows to fight the effort. Directors Pierre Omidyar, the company's founder, and Marc Andreessen tweeted separately that they are "fully aligned that eBay and PayPal are best together."
CEO John Donahoe offered a vigorous defense against splitting the company on the earnings call Wednesday as well as in an interview. "We believe that our collection of assets drive more growth and more success together, than apart," Donahoe said.
An eBay spokeswoman said the company board's nominating committee is reviewing Icahn's request to add directors and said eBay had nothing to add to its comments from Wednesday. She said Icahn put up employees Jonathan Christodoro and Daniel Ninivaggi as board nominees. Christodoro is a director for Herbalife and Talisman Energy, among others and Ninivaggi is a Federal-Mogul director,
Icahn wasn't immediately available for comment, an assistant said.
Even if he is successful, Icahn would face an uphill battle with only two backers on an 11-member board. King She, another Susquehanna analyst, said Icahn's best opportunity may be 2015 when the entire slate is up for re-election.

I found the original RPLMan.doc to be very useful.
It lists the supported entries, along with a brief
description and stack I/O .
And there are some code examples given,
even for a POL and error trapping.
Also very important: RPLMan.doc sheds some light
on the RPL principles, the individual data structures, and more.
And my version of RPLMan.doc is a plain ASCII text file,
so searching for a keyword is very easy.
However not everyone is interested in SysRPL programming,
IMHO most HP calculator users are more or less happy
with UserRPL, as most normal tasks can be programmed
using UserRPL.
