The first part:
I think the idea is good. I also think the idea of choosing to click to go on is good -- to explore.
But for me the video didn't really build the sense of wonder as much as it might have.
And I think it would work better if each part / location was a logical progression from the other, but with something unexpected. So when you get there you can see how situation B came from situation A, but before you clicked to go to situation B, you wouldn't have been able to predict that thing. Wouldn't that be closer to an idea you're communicating in the video?
Second part (exploring the car):
I only looked at this bit very briefly. In that brief time, it didn't draw me into the design process of honda engineers, or into 'wonder' -- and the creative do-something-with-your-cursor thing didn't really do much for me either.
But the idea, I think, is good.

Maddux vs. Cubs
Written by | Tom Krasovic | 9:30 a.m., Mar 13, 2008
Greg Maddux is to throw 70-80 pitches today against the Cubs at Mesa. He has thrown five walk-free innings, allowing one run. Another pitcher who is wearing out the strikezone is Cla Meredith, who has one walk and seven strikeouts in five innings.The lineup: SS Callix Crabbe3B Edgar GonzalezCF Jody GerutC Josh BardLF Paul McAnulty1B Robert FickRF Chip Ambres2B Marshall McDougalP Greg MadduxSeveral players are performing well in an attempt to win a job. Among them are several candidates for the left-field job -- Chase Headley, Jody Gerut and Paul McAnulty. Gerut also has done solid work in right field and center field. Another outfielder who can play all three spots, Jeff DaVanon has picked up the pace. He had an excellent game Wednesday. Of course, there's no guarantee that a productive spring translates into a big season. Last March, Terrmel Sledge had a big camp, enabling him to hold off a strong bid from McAnulty. But it was another candidate who would go on to have the best season of the would-be outfielders. Jack Cust, sold to the A's last May, had a big year with Oakland, which used him as a designated hitter and in left field. Sledge and McAnulty went on to have disappointing seasons.Crabbe, a second baseman for most of his career, is attempting to show he is a viable option as an emergency shorstop of sorts. He hasn't played there during the season since he was in Single-A, when he struggled at it. "It's not an easy place to play, obviously," said bench coach Craig Colbert. "He just needs to keep going out there."

There are no elevated magazine rankings, no conference contention expectations and no Heisman Trophy candidates as Cal opens training camp for the 2010 season today.
The conventional wisdom is that's a good thing for the Bears, who have demonstrated in recent years a stunning ability to crumble under the weight of great expectations.
But the Bears themselves aren't taking that bait. For one, Cal isn't exactly in concurrence with the so-called experts picking them to finish seventh in the Pac-10 and nowhere near the national rankings. And the Bears are also more concerned about things other than dealing with decreased expectations -- most notably finding a consistent passing game, rebuilding the secondary and finding a few linebackers to play alongside All-America candidate Mike Mohamed.
"We're hungry. We want to prove people wrong," said Mohamed, an All-Pac-10 first-team selection last season who led the conference with 112 tackles. "But at the same time, just because we're picked to finish seventh doesn't mean we have to. We've kind of been on the opposite side of all this in years past and fell flat on our face, basically. We know the expectations don't really matter. We just have to go out and play ball, and prove people wrong one week at a time."
One of the reasons pundits don't expect much of Cal this season probably is because they are gun-shy. Cal began two of the past three seasons ranked No. 12 in the Associated Press preseason poll and picked to finish second in the Pac-10. Each time, the Bears ended up with mediocre seasons and far removed from the national radar.
Cal has some pieces in place as camp opens. Fifth-year senior Kevin Riley is back for his third season as a starter, and talented tailback Shane Vereen showed last year what could come this year after replacing injured first-round NFL draft pick Jahvid Best (Detroit Lions). Four starters return on the offensive line.
Mohamed is one of the conference's top defensive players, explosive defensive end Cameron Jordan is back for his third season as a starter, and Sean Cattouse opened some eyes at safety last season.
Still, the Bears open camp with more holes than in any season in recent memory. Marvin Jones is the only returning wide receiver who has demonstrated any measure of consistency. Cal will have to replace both starting outside linebackers, and there are no slam-dunk candidates waiting in the wings. And the Bears have huge question marks at both cornerback spots, one of which was vacated by All-Pac-10 first-team pick Syd'Quan Thompson, who was drafted by the Denver Broncos.
"Whenever you decrease expectations, of course you're going to do better than what's expected because the expectations were not that high," said Vereen, Cal's leading rusher last season with 952 yards. "What's important is for our team to have its own expectations, its own goals -- raise the bar for ourselves."

Experian Marketing Services is compiling data, trends and benchmarks to share with marketers in the 2012 Digital Marketer. Below is a sneak peek into just some of the data quality tips you can expect from this valuable report.
Successful delivery of an email to a specific consumer is just as important as the message being sent. Maintaining a clean email database improves deliverability rates and will ultimately increase overall conversion rates. Here are three simple steps that marketers can take to cleanse email address files:
- Remove bounced emails – Obviously it doesn't make sense to send an email to the same inaccurate address over and over again. Removing known invalid emails from a list will not only reduce bounce rates, it will have an impact on the company's reputation with the Internet Service Providers (ISP). Each email domain earns a reputation with the major ISPs, like Gmail™ and Hotmail. Emails sent from that domain receive placement in a consumer's inbox based on the positive or negative nature of the sender's reputation. If too many emails bounce, then an ISP may consider the sender a spammer and place emails in the spam or junk inbox, or even prevent delivery of the communication. Keeping the bounce rate low can improve or maintain a sender's reputation.
- Cleanse email addresses – Most bounced emails are the result of syntax errors, like misspellings or typographical errors. Software tools can identify and correct invalid characters and change incorrectly typed domain names. These "cleans" can be done on a weekly or monthly basis, depending on email volume.
- Educate staff – It is important to train staff members on the importance of an accurate email address. If staff members understand where information is used and how inaccurate data affects the organization as whole, they may be more careful when collecting data in the future and reduce the number of careless errors made during entry.
By removing inaccurate information, cleansing existing addresses and training staff, marketers can increase the number of usable email addresses in their existing database. Ultimately, more delivered emails means more opens and clicks, and of course, better marketing results.

|HylaFAX The world's most advanced open source fax server
Hey all, Ok, I hope this isn't too much of a newbie question - I've just installed hylafax on a mandrake8 box, and have been wading my way through the docs and archive to try and see if I can do what I want to do. What I want to do is have hylafax only pickup incoming calls that are actually faxes - leaving me free to answer other calls using my normal phone. Distinctive ring isn't an option as I already have that on this line used for a business line. I found this email (http://www.hylafax.org/archive/2001-07/msg00020.php) which seemed to point me in the right direction. Here's what I see as the relevant part of my config: <snip> ModemType: Class1 # use class 1 interface ModemRate: 19200 # locked for fax sending&receiving ModemFlowControl: rtscts # default # ModemNoFlowCmd: AT\Q0 # disable flow control cmd ModemSoftFlowCmd: AT\Q1 # software flow control cmd ModemHardFlowCmd: AT\Q3 # hardware flow control cmd ModemSetupDTRCmd: AT&D3 # DTR off causes modem to reset ModemSetupDCDCmd: AT&C1 # DCD follows carrier # ModemDialCmd: ATDT%s # T for tone dialing AdaptiveAnswer: yes # enable adaptive answer AnswerRotary: "fax" # answer for fax ModemAnswerCmd: AT+FCLASS=1;A # default is to answer as fax Class1RecvIdentTimer: 10000 # timeout fax answer in 10 secs </snip> I have tried AnswerRotary as "voice fax data" and "fax data" as well, but with no success. When a call comes in, I get this in my logs: Apr 20 13:46:19 firewall FaxGetty[3708]: ANSWER: FAX CONNECTION DEVICE '/dev/ttyS1' Apr 20 13:46:46 firewall FaxGetty[3708]: ANSWER: DATA CONNECTION Apr 20 13:46:46 firewall FaxGetty[3708]: GETTY: START "/sbin/getty -h ttyS1 dx_19200", pid 4284 Apr 20 13:46:46 firewall getty[4284]: Segmentation fault Apr 20 13:46:46 firewall FaxGetty[3708]: GETTY: exit status 0400 Apr 20 13:46:54 firewall FaxGetty[3708]: MODEM SERIES 5 V.34 28800 MODEM DFS256K(K)-Z7 28800/ which to me suggests that its still trying to answer the call as a data call. Can anyone tell me where to look next for how to configure hylafax to only pickup fax calls? cheers dim ____________________ HylaFAX(tm) Users Mailing List _______________________ To subscribe/unsubscribe, click http://lists.hylafax.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi On UNIX: mail -s unsubscribe email@example.com < /dev/null *To learn about commercial HylaFAX(tm) support, mail email@example.com.*

Potato Frittata
Frittata Di Patate
4 new potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tabespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon pepper
8 eggs
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
Serves 4 to 6

Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil and boil until just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well.
Preheat the oven to 375 F.
Cook 2 tablespoons of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet set on high heat until it sizzles, about 2 minutes. Add the cooked potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once. Add 2 tablespoons of the rosemary, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once. Add 1 teaspoon of the chopped garlic and 1/8 teaspoon of the pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring once. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the remaining rosemary with a whick and set aside. Stir in the potatoes and mix well.
Cook the remaining 3 tablesppons of oil in a nonstick ovenproof skillet until sizzling, about 2 minutes. Add the potato-egg mixture and cook for 2 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes. Turn the frittata over and cook for 15 minutes.
Slide it out onto a serving dish, sprinkle with the remaining salt and eat warm or at room temperature. The flavors repen beautifully if held overnight in the refrigerator.
Chef's Tip:
If you do not have a 12-inch saute pan, you can use two 8-inch pans.

'The Hobbit' Gets Even More Real
Peter Jackson, director of "The Hobbit," is trying something new.
Instead of shooting the $500 million two-film version of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved book at 24 frames per second — the standard speed for the past 90 years — he will shoot "The Hobbit" at 48 frames per second, Mr. Jackson said on his Facebook page.
It is a decision the director compares to the moment when vinyl records were supplanted by digital CDs. No longer hemmed in by the price of film stock, said Mr. Jackson on the website, shooting at 48 frame per second "looks much more lifelike, and it is much easier to watch, especially in 3-D."
"It looks great, and we've actually become used to it now, to the point that other film experiences look a little primitive," he said on his Facebook page. He's not the only fan of this shooting style: Last month James Cameron announced he was planning to shoot "Avatar 2″ at a faster frame per second rate, too.
Mr. Jackson said some film purists may criticize the move. Apparently, the new technology eliminates the movie-feel to things – what film techies call "blur" and "strobing artifacts" – and produces images that some people say are too high-definition, or too real. But the director, who is filming now in New Zealand, added on his website that his crew, "many of whom are film purists, are now converts."
The question is whether movie theaters can handle the new technology.
"We are hopeful that there will be enough theaters capable of projecting 48 frames per second by the time 'The Hobbit' comes out," he said on the site. He said the industry predicts that there may be more than 10,000 screens capable of that projection speed by the December 2012 release, but "we don't yet know what the reality will be."

The Return of the Native
by Thomas Hardy
The Return of the Native Theme of Dissatisfaction
If Eustacia had an iPod with an Egdon Heath playlist, then "Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones would be at the top of it. The Stones start off that classic song with, "I can't get no satisfaction." And Eustacia is certainly getting zero satisfaction from living in Egdon Heath. In fact, most of the characters in The Return of the Native are perpetually anxious, restless, dissatisfied, and feeling trapped. This book takes place over just a year, but it seems much longer in terms of our characters' emotional lives and longing – entire epic sagas play out in various individuals' dissatisfaction with life. We can safely say that dissatisfaction is an emotional state that links all the major characters of the novel together.
Questions About Dissatisfaction
- Are any characters happy or satisfied with their lives here? What sort of effect does the fairly widespread dissatisfaction have on the overall tone of the novel, and how are happy or content characters significant to the story?
- What are some of the symptoms of dissatisfaction in the novel, and what do they tell us about the individual characters experiencing them?
- How do the imagery and the details of the heath itself contribute to the dissatisfaction of many characters?
- How does the language used to describe the heath reflect the dissatisfaction of so many characters?
Chew on This
Eustacia would be dissatisfied no matter where she was – her personality is just naturally negative.
Eustacia is depressed and dissatisfied largely because of the heath; if she had managed to escape to Paris, she would have been happier.

A longtime football coach whose resume includes several championships takes over as defensive coordinator at East Central Community College in Decatur.
Scott Brock, who has 25 years coaching experience on the high school, community college and university levels, was recently named to the post by new Warrior head football coach Ken Karcher.
Brock, who began his new duties on March 1, 2013, not only brings a wealth of experience and success to the coaching staff; he will also serve as a mentor to Warrior student-athletes, according to Coach Karcher.
"Coach Brock will bring an expertise to our program on the defensive side of the ball that will help East Central be successful," said Coach Karcher. "More importantly, he will play a major role in impacting the lives of our student athletes. I am confident that East Central Community College will be a better place because of Scott Brock and his family."
Brock began his career as a student assistant defensive coach at the University of Tennessee from 1985-86. He also had coaching stints at the University of Memphis (1986-88), Carson-Newman College, located in Jefferson City, Tenn. (1988-90); Charlotte (N.C.) Barons of the Minor Football League, 1990; Brentwood (Tenn.) High School, (1993-95); Barrien County High School in Nashville, Ga., (1995-96); Centennial High School in Franklin, Tenn. (1996-98), Middle Georgia College in Cochran, GA (1998-2001), Appalachian State University in Boone, N.C. (2001-03), Charlton County High School in Folkston, Ga. (2003-08); and Hilliard Middle Senior High in Hilliard, Fla., where he served since 2008 as director of athletics, head track coach, defensive coordinator and special team's coordinator.
Brock helped lead several teams to championships during his career.
He served as secondary coach and later receivers and tight ends coach when Carson-Newman College won consecutive NAIA National Championships (1988-89). He was special team's coordinator during the Charlotte Barons championship season (1990) in the Minor League Football System. Brock served as defensive coordinator and special team's coordinator when Charlton County (Ga.) High School captured its first State AA Championship in 2004. While at Charlton County High School, Brock also served as head track coach and led the squad to back-to-back AA State Championships in 2005 and 2006.
In addition, while serving as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator at Middle Georgia College, Brock's defense set the NJCAA record for total team defense and rushing defense in 1998. The rushing defense record still stands today.
While at Charlton County High School, Brock also served as head track coach and led the squad to AA State Championships in 2005 and 2006.
Brock said he considers former University of Alabama defensive coordinator Ken Donahue as his "coaching mentor." Donahue served 21 years as an assistant to the late Paul W. "Bear" Bryant.
A native of Englewood, Tenn., Brock received a bachelor's degree in Communications from the University of Tennessee in 1985 and earned a master's degree in Education/Athletic Administration and Coaching from the University of Memphis in 1987.
In addition to his coaching duties, Brock will serve as academic coordinator, teach physical education courses and be involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.
Honors include his selection to Who's Who Among America's Teachers and the National Honor Roll's Outstanding American Teachers.
Brock and his wife, Daniele, have a daughter, Makaeya, a ninth-grader; and a son, Brooks, a seventh-grader.

After various teaser renderings SsangYong has released two new images of its new XIV-1 concept car before its official debut at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.
The South Korean carmaker is now part of India's Mahindra Group and is pushing the XIV-1 as a "premium crossover utility vehicle (CUV)" designed for global sales. The name is derived from the phrase 'eXciting user Interface Vehicle', and highlights the show car's focus on interaction with the driver and passengers.

Leviticus Perspectives From Faith Communities In Practice
Getting Biblical in Daily Life
Jewish Perspective
Let's put it this way: Leviticus doesn't make it easy for Jews. In fact, it causes a whole slew of practical problems for contemporary Jewish communities. Not only can its ethical and purity rules be difficult to adapt to contemporary life, but since the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem two thousand years ago, there isn't even a place to follow the rules for Tabernacle offerings (for some more FAQs about sacrifices, check out JewFAQ).
Further complicating matters are centuries of analysis by learned rabbis in the Talmud, Mishnah, and Gemara, which serve as a touchstone for rabbinical teaching today.
To top it off, interpretations of Leviticus can also differ among the leading branches of Judaism. Traditions vary on such issues as kosher law, Sabbath observance, the continued application of rules for personal impurity, and—big surprise—same-sex intercourse. For the Orthodox, Leviticus is a book to be rigorously studied and applied; for the more liberal Reform tradition…well, let's just say that descriptions such as "stultifying and prosaic—like the first line of a recipe—and obsessed with irrelevant minutia" are not exactly ringing endorsements.
Offerings in Exile
Despite the many differences, though, the various branches of Judaism tend to share the same core response to the current meaning of sacrificial offering law. Nowadays, in the absence of the temple, the offering laws can be observed through repentance, prayer, and the pursuit of personal purity (whatever that might mean). The specific types of sacrifices provide lessons on such matters as thankfulness, awareness of sin, and ethical dealings with others. Done and done.
This approach to the offering laws treats them as instructive metaphors for acts of devotion and social responsibility. Yep, metaphors. That means don't sacrifice the animal; just do something that represents sacrificing the animal.
From this perspective, prayer itself is regarded as a form of sacrifice. According to the medieval Jewish scholar Maimonides, prayer is superior to animal sacrifice and sacrifice was just an accommodation to ancient customs. Kind of like how news websites today accommodate popular expectations with cat videos. (But let's be honest—cat videos will never go out of style.)
Other aspects of the offering rituals also continue to have a spiritual application. For example, although the literal altar fire has been out for centuries, Jews can keep the spiritual altar fire burning through prayer, repentance, and good works (source).
How 'Bout That Temple?
If everything's so hard without the temple, why don't they just build one? We mean, if humans can construct the Burj Khalifa, the temple shouldn't be that hard, right? (Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration.)
Whether the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt and temple sacrifice should be restored is, as you might imagine, a subject of heated debate. Some people believe that animal sacrifice is an obsolete practice, while others believe it to be required once the temple is restored in Jerusalem (source).
And it's not just the Jews who have something to say about it. Many fundamentalist and evangelical Christians believe that the restoration of temple sacrifice in Jerusalem is destined to happen. Except, for Christians, it's a sign that Jesus will return to Earth soon. So yeah, it's not really a six-of-one kind of a situation.
Kosher Conflict
So we can all agree on one thing: no one can agree on anything. In fact, opinions regarding the ongoing relevance of Leviticus in its specific details can vary widely even within a particular branch of Judaism. Some rabbis try to make Leviticus happen; others are ready to let it fall the way of yolo.
And of course, one of the most important questions is as follows: to eat bacon or not to eat bacon? Some Jews adhere rigorously to the kosher law (or kashrut) as refined over centuries of rabbinical commentary. Others are all about the cheeseburger.
And Everything Else Under the Sun
Leviticus manages to give us a rule about everything that's ever existed (except what to do when our DVR can only record 4 shows at once but there's just so much good TV on Tuesday nights!). So let's take a look at a few more:
- The laws on ritual uncleanness can be interpreted literally, spiritually, or sometimes in both ways. This is known among religion experts as really confusing. For instance, some Orthodox Jews stick to the rigorous rules for maintaining ritual purity for women in menstruation and other forms of physical uncleanness. (That can't be convenient.) Others interpret these rules in more spiritual ways or pretend they don't exist. Jewish feminist critiques of these laws can go either way, condemning the laws as emblems of the patriarchy or celebrating them as expressions of identity (source).
- The rules on skin disease are commonly interpreted on the spiritual level as a warning against gossip and slander. Some add that Leviticus requires a sacrifice of birds for skin disease because just like gossips they are always "twittering" and "chirping" (source). On the spiritual level of interpretation, it also shows that God has known from the depths of eternity that he hates Twitter.
- The laws of Leviticus pertaining to same-sex intercourse have sparked a lot of debate. Orthodox Judaism tends to oppose gay marriage, but within the movement there is considerable difference of opinion regarding not just the issue, but also the meaning of the relevant passages from Leviticus. Reform Judaism endorses gay marriage, as does the Conservative branch (source).
- The Day of Atonement, or Yom Kippur, continues to be an important holiday in the Jewish Calendar. No goats (sorry), but the service does involve reading the part of the Jonah story where the whale vomits him out onto dry land. As symbols of atonement go, this is sick.
- The other holidays in Leviticus are also still happening, which makes the book an invaluable resource for understanding Jon Stewart's Sukkot and Tu B'Shevat jokes on The Daily Show.
Christian Perspective
Leviticus is more important to Christianity than one might think. For Christians, Leviticus hands us the Old Covenant, while Jesus embodies God's New Covenant. Out with the old and in with the new. As branding strategies goes, even if New Coke doesn't end up replacing the previous product, sometimes it can lead to a successful spinoff.
The Christian connection to Leviticus goes back to Jesus himself. When Jesus says that the second greatest commandment is "You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39), he's taking it straight from Leviticus 19. Don't worry—plagiarism wasn't a thing back then. And throughout the Gospels, Jesus has a knack for cleaning up people who are unclean or imperfect according to Leviticus. Leprosy, disabilities, out of control menstruation—you name it.
The Sequel
It's not just about the Gospels, either. The New Testament's Book of Hebrews is kind of like Leviticus 2: Electric Boogaloo. Offerings, atonement, redemption—all the good stuff in Leviticus has now been done by the sacrifice of Christ on the cross. This is a deeply treasured principle among many young Christian people, since it gets them off the hook from actually having to read Leviticus.
New Testament professors aren't so lucky. See, the majority Christian view of atonement isn't about saving the community from how imperfections can mess things up (see: Leviticus), but saving individuals from God's anger through the offering of Christ as the perfect blood sacrifice (source). So that means you'll need to check out Leviticus if you want to see the other side of the coin. Plus, Hebrews has a knack for turning Leviticus against itself. For instance, it repeatedly calls attention to the fact that human priests are imperfect (Hebrews 7:23-28), thus lumping them in with the rules in Leviticus 21 against priestly imperfection and pollution.
Of course, not all Christians share the modern majority interpretation. The medieval theologian Saint Anselm, for example, viewed atonement and redemption in terms of compensating God for a debt. Although this view is largely rejected today, it echoes the rhetoric of compensation in Leviticus, so score one for old Anselm in the Hebrew Bible book of alluders.
Leviticus Wars
Big surprise: the most widely held Christian view of Leviticus is that it is fulfilled in the person and life of Christ. But Christian applications of Leviticus can vary widely, and they often don't divide neatly along denominational lines. Some of the differences represent split views of unclear passages, while others can seem like the result of too much time spent chewing the cud.
Of course, one of the areas where this has been at hot-hot-hot issue is same-sex relationships. For some Christians, the laws in Leviticus prohibiting same-sex sexual relations falls under the category of binding moral law (source). Translation: don't do it.
Christianity is also not particularly known for having a don't-ask-don't-tell policy. For centuries, confession manuals in the Roman Catholic Church included rather detailed questions regarding a penitent's sexual behavior (source). Modern scholars believe that if the Church had been able to record these confessions, being a religion professor would be a lot more fun.
Others Christians believe that the passages in Leviticus regarding same-sex intercourse are not binding moral law (source). Popular reasons cited in support of this argument include Christ's fulfillment of the Torah, limitation of these laws to pagan temple prostitution or rape, the laws' apparent basis in ritual restrictions against the mixture of certain bodily fluids, the laws' lack of any reference to loving relationships or sexual orientation.
For more on this hot topic, head over to "Hot-Button Issues and Cultural Debates."
Practicing What Leviticus Preaches?
Again, the zillion laws in Leviticus mean a zillion different kinds of practical procedure. Let's take a look at how some of these unfold in the Christian tradition, bullet-point style:
- One direct expression of Leviticus can be seen in church. The priestly robes described in Leviticus 8 have had a strong influence on vestments worn by priests and some pastors. Or as Reverend Barbie likes to say—Confirmation classes are hard! Vestments are fun!
- A passage occasionally cited as a binding moral law is the ban on wizards and witches. This has meant trouble for Christian kids who like (or think they would like) the Harry Potter series. Some conservative Christians believe it's a "gateway drug" to the dark arts such as casting spells (source).
- The tithe—the requirement to give 10% of your goods to God—continues to be a binding rule among some Christians (check out this example). As in Leviticus 26, God honors this tithe by rewarding the giver with more wealth, part of which apparently comes from no longer having to tip wait staff.
- Similarly, there are Christians—such as Seventh Day Adventists—who still adhere to the kosher laws. Despite the clear denominational differences, scholars do not divide Christianity into Catholic, Protestant, and Bacon-Free.
- Some Christians believe that the Sabbath is binding moral law, inasmuch as it is one of the Ten Commandments (source). The day of the Sabbath has been changed to Sunday, though, in keeping with the practice of the early Christian church.
- Following a theory of the end times known as dispensationalism, many conservative Christians also believe that animal sacrifices will continue when Jesus reigns over the Earth for a thousand years (source). Unlike Christ's sacrifice on the cross, these sacrifices will not have saving power, a theological position widely shared by cattle, sheep, and goats.
Islamic Perspective
Several of the laws in Leviticus regarding purity and sexual ethics might sound familiar to Muslims: namely, various bathing rituals and the prohibition against eating pork. Islam also regards Moses as a prophet and respects the revelation that he received from God.
And therein lies the rub.
According to traditional Islamic doctrine, the Torah in its present form is corrupt and unreliable (source). Why? Because the laws weren't recorded until hundreds of years after Moses heard them from God; and then, centuries later, they were lost again during Babylonian captivity. That means that the Leviticus that Jewish leaders in the 6th century cut and paste from surviving earlier material is an impure mix of the human with the divine.

The lost city of Atlantis
There had been a powerful empire located to the west of the Pillars of Hercules (what we now call the Straight of Gibraltar) on an island in the Atlantic Ocean. The nation there had been established by Poseidon, the God of the Sea. Poseidon fathered five sets of twins on the island. The firstborn, Atlas, had the continent and the surrounding ocean named for him. Poseidon divided the land into ten sections, each to be ruled by a son, or his heirs.
The capital city of Atlantis was a marvel of architecture and engineering. The city was composed of a series of concentric walls and canals. At the very center was a hill, and on top of the hill a temple to Poseidon. Inside was a gold statue of the God of the Sea showing him driving six winged horses.
About 9000 years before the time of Plato, after the people of Atlantis became corrupt and greedy, the gods decided to destroy them. A violent earthquake shook the land, giant waves rolled over the shores, and the island sank into the sea, never to be seen again.
Untill today!

President George W Bush has told the Israeli government that he may be prepared to approve a future military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities if negotiations with Tehran break down, according to a senior Pentagon official.
Despite the opposition of his own generals and widespread scepticism that America is ready to risk the military, political and economic consequences of an airborne strike on Iran, the president has given an "amber light" to an Israeli plan to attack Iran's main nuclear sites with long-range bombing sorties, the official told The Sunday Times.
"Amber means get on with your preparations, stand by for immediate attack and tell us when you're ready," the official said. But the Israelis have also been told that they can expect no help from American forces and will not be able to use US military bases in Iraq for logistical support.
(Article continues below)
Nor is it certain that Bush's amber light would ever turn to green without irrefutable evidence of lethal Iranian hostility. Tehran's test launches of medium-range ballistic missiles last week were seen in Washington as provocative and poorly judged, but both the Pentagon and the CIA concluded that they did not represent an immediate threat of attack against Israeli or US targets.
"It's really all down to the Israelis," the Pentagon official added. "This administration will not attack Iran. This has already been decided. But the president is really preoccupied with the nuclear threat against Israel and I know he doesn't believe that anything but force will deter Iran."
The official added that Israel had not so far presented Bush with a convincing military proposal. "If there is no solid plan, the amber will never turn to green," he said.
There was also resistance inside the Pentagon from officers concerned about Iranian retaliation. "The uniform people are opposed to the attack plans, mainly because they think it will endanger our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan," the source said.

Cher Has Good Reason to Kick Up Her Heels: Charlie Koppelman Is Producing Her Next Single
Koppelman, 42, whose seven-year-old Entertainment Company grossed $15 million in 1981, also acts as executive producer for such solo artists as Cher, Engelbert Humperdinck, Dolly Parton and Tom Jones and groups like the Four Tops and the Marshall Tucker Band. While record sales as a whole are taking a nose dive, Koppelman is busy successfully blending country music with pop, rhythm & blues with jazz, classical with contemporary. His company currently owns more than 10,000 songs that have earned 14 gold records (sales of 100,000 each), eight platinum (one million sold) and three double platinum (two million) records. "I worked with Charlie on the Guilty album," recalls Walter Yetnikoff, president of the CBS Record Group. "His creative instinct to marry the artists and producers and deliver them presents a powerful package to the industry."
Last September Koppelman and Streisand's longtime love, Jon Peters, decided the Richard Parker-Bobby Whiteside ballad Comin' In and Out of Your Life was right for Barbra's Memories album. Two months later, just in time for the Christmas record-buying rush, Koppelman made sure Streisand released Comin' In as a single. The cut created enough advance interest in the album to sell two million LPs in six weeks.
While Ross and Richie were recording Endless Love in the studio last year, Koppelman continuously interrupted from the control room to offer suggestions. "I didn't know who he was," recalls Ross, "but this little guy kept saying the right things." Several months later Charlie and Diana became better acquainted when he helped her find the lyrics for a disco tune she wrote with Ray Chew and Paul Jabara, Work That Body. "It sounded good and was exactly what I wanted," says Ross. Koppelman, acting as creative consultant, also encouraged Ross to release as a single her version of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers' 1956 hit Why Do Fools Fall in Love as a new single for RCA. "If I believe in a concept and the timing is right," he boasts, "I can always sell it."
Koppelman's own career as a tune-smith was mercifully brief. "I wrote terrible songs," admits Charlie, who gave up trying shortly after his graduation from Long Island University with a degree in physical education. "So instead I went into the business side of music with a friend, Don Rubin." They produced records for '60s stars like Darin, the Turtles and the Lovin' Spoonful.
When they sold the company for $3 million to Commonwealth Records in 1968, both men were retained to run the music division. They split up three years later, after Charlie was hired by CBS Records to head its domestic publishing division. He rose to veep for worldwide distribution, a job he held until 1975, when one of New York's largest private landlords, Sam Lefrak, became smitten with Koppelman's musical moxie and backed him as a solo. With Lefrak he started the Entertainment Company. "If you want music, get Charlie," says Lefrak. "As for business, the only difference in renting an apartment and renting a song is that you don't have to paint the song every two years."
That business also requires that Koppelman live four months a year in a Beverly Hills Hotel bungalow (stereo-equipped, of course). But Charlie tries to spend time with his wife, Bunny, in the 70-year-old, music-filled colonial home on Long Island's North Shore which they share with their children: Brian, 16, Stacy, 13, and Jennifer, 12; adopted daughter Lynda, 25, lives in Manhattan.
Koppelman's plans include producing musicals for prime-time and cable TV, videodiscs, radio shows and, of course, more records. Whom will he pair up next? Charlie isn't saying, but the possibilities are as endless as the number of "tomorrows" in Tomorrow, another single he's bringing out this month from the young star of the film Annie, Aileen Quinn. How about Stevie Wonder and Loretta Lynn? Wayne Newton and Wendy O. Williams? Mick Jagger and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir? Stay tuned.

He's almost 71. And his wife just resigned from the Alameda County Board of Supervisors after a drug-fueled affair with a meth addict. Her sensational downfall included shocking allegations that he once supplied her with drugs and encouraged her to commit suicide during a recent argument.
So now, after months of personal turmoil and four decades as one of the state's most powerful Democrats, is state Treasurer Bill Lockyer preparing to quietly fade away?
Not a chance. In fact, he's already squirreled away more than $2.5 million to run for another statewide office when he's 73.
Asked whether recent events will affect his plans to become California's new controller, the state's top fiscal officer, his spokesman, Tom Dresslar, replied with a firm "no."
"He still plans on running," Dresslar said Friday.
Whether Lockyer can survive the fallout from the scandal, however, is still an open question. Many Californians no doubt find it hard to reconcile his reputation as a political powerhouse with his troubled marriage to a woman three decades his junior who claimed that he plied her with drugs earlier in their relationship -- something he vehemently denies and which police say doesn't amount to much.
Lockyer's critics look skeptically at his contention that he didn't know his wife, Nadia, was in outpatient treatment for alcoholism when he poured $1.5 million from his political war chest to get her elected in November 2010.
Political goodwill
But most of California's political gurus predict Lockyer, who has remained mum since shortly after the scandal broke, will weather the storm just fine. They note that he's been an elected officeholder since 1973, as well as a formidable fundraiser.
"It's very dicey to attack a politician on the failings of a spouse," even if that politician helped that spouse win an office of her own, said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a veteran political analyst at the University of Southern California.
"Remember, love is blind," she said. "If you love your spouse, sometimes you can be in denial."
Dresslar said voters will reward Bill Lockyer for a litany of accomplishments. As a lawmaker, he said, his boss streamlined the court system. As attorney general, he established a Megan's Law website to track sex offenders, created a "do not call" list for telemarketers, recovered billions for energy ratepayers and improved the state's DNA lab, Dresslar said. And as treasurer, he said, Lockyer took on Wall Street to protect taxpayers.
Dresslar said Lockyer truly didn't know how much his wife was struggling with alcoholism when he was bankrolling her campaign.
"She had maybe a few too many drinks on occasion, but throughout the campaign, she by all appearances seemed capable of discharging her duties," Dresslar said. "In hindsight, he missed some signs.
"He believed Nadia was the best candidate in that race," Dresslar said. "He regrets the way things turned out. If he'd had a crystal ball, he would've discouraged her from running."
The Lockyer for Controller 2014 committee had about $51,000 cash as of March 31, and his 2010 treasurer campaign committee still has $2.55 million that could be transferred.
Veteran Democratic campaign strategist Dan Newman predicts that any opponent's attempt to take advantage of the scandal is bound to backfire. "He's such an established figure, I don't think it impacts his future beyond sadly increasing the prurient interest in his personal life," Newman said.
Even Jon Fleischman, a former California Republican Party vice chairman who publishes the conservative FlashReport political website, said how the scandal affects Lockyer's future is really up to him, not any potential opponent.
"It would be a significant challenge for an opponent to move this away from being the personal tragedy of the Lockyer family and into the bad political judgment of him supporting his wife's candidacy," Fleischman said. "If Bill Lockyer wants to run for state controller, given the amount of money he has in the bank and the gravitas he has with the party, he'd be an instant front-runner.
"Obviously that's a very personal decision that he has to make," he continued. "But as a practical matter, it seems he should really be concerned with what's going on with his wife. ... I'm wondering what kind of a campaign animal he is, because at some point, wouldn't you stop running for office to be a representative for all of California and instead just be a husband and a father?"
Lingering questions
From a legal standpoint, Nadia Lockyer's allegation that her husband supplied her with drugs, first made in a recent text sent to this newspaper, seems destined to go nowhere.
Hayward police Lt. Roger Keener said it's unclear when and where such a thing might have occurred, leaving questions of jurisdiction: Did it allegedly occur at the couple's Hayward home? Sacramento? Santa Ana, where Nadia Lockyer lived before their 2003 marriage and birth of their son, now 8?
There's also the question whether the alleged crime would be beyond the three-year statute of limitations for most felonies.
And Nadia Lockyer is unlikely to cooperate with an investigation, having already asked the public "not to hold anything against my husband for actions that happened a long time ago."
Besides, her credibility is shaky, no doubt part of the reason the state Department of Justice announced Friday that it was not charging her ex-lover, Steve Chikhani, of San Jose, with attacking her in a Newark hotel room on Feb. 3.
Lockyer had also claimed that Chikhani hacked into her email account to send this newspaper the original claim that her husband had given her drugs. She since has admitted sending the email herself.
Staff writer Julia Prodis Sulek contributed to this report.

Sean Hayes is adorable as the bumbling Chuck Baxter, a young accountant who attempts to advance his career by lending his bachelor pad to executives for their extramarital liaisons. Based on the 1960 Billy Wilder movie "The Apartment"–starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine–Promises, Promises is full of '60s panache and retro-meets-modern choreography. Imagine Mad Men meets Glee. Swell!
But hands down, the show belongs to Chenoweth, who, as cafeteria hostess Fran Kubelik, appears so tiny it's hard to believe that voice comes from such a small woman. And yet, she blows the roof off of songs like "Say A Little Prayer" and "A House Is Not a Home". On her duet with Hayes, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again," she even strums at the guitar.
While their romantic chemistry leaves a little something to be desired, Chenoweth and Hayes riff off of each other with comedic timing they've got down pat. Hayes' self-deprecating charm offsets Chenoweth's perky primness–even when caught in an affair–with aplomb.
Watch a sneak peek of Promises, Promises below:

News12 at six o'clock/ March 13, 2014
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Augusta's Housing and Community Development still needs a $2.5 million to continue redeveloping the Laney-Walker Bethlehem area.
They've spent $8 million so far in a three year span.
An outside review committee is recommending the commission keep the project going and give them the loan.
Some Commissioners want private companies to step up. City officials said when they build it in the Laney Walker area people come. Two of the three houses under construction there have already been sold.
"We haven't had any sit there for a long length of time," said Housing and Community Development Director Chester Wheeler.
Housing and Community Development Director Chester Wheeler said his department has bought more than 270 lots, fixed 95 dilapidated properties, built 24 homes and sold 22 more. All of that costs around $8 million.
The momentum stopped after Augusta commissioners refused to loan the department 2.5 million and called for a second set of eyes to look at his re-development.
The group of planners calls the overall program an achievement. They recommend the city loan the department $2.5 million dollars, invest money from the city's budget and find others ways to pay for the full project.
"We want to complete that project and continue it on and build up Laney Walker. We've got to address the issue of funds. Now it's whether or not we will give a 2.5 bridge loan," said Commissioner Alvin Mason.
More than $40,000 a month was going out the door for consultant fees, but Wheeler said that's not the case anymore.
"I haven't hired anybody, but I reduced my consultant fee by more than $100,000 in the contract signed in January," Wheeler said.
"The city can't do it on our own. We do not have the funds to do it on our own. We don't have the man power or the staff to do it," Mason said.

Art Journal: Garden Path/
To get started, I followed two prompts from Kick-Start Your Art Journal (Part 2 ): <Photograph> and <Limited Palette>. As I went about my day, I envisioned building a page around one photo and highlighting with the soft pinks of the conflowers. From pale pink bud to rich pink bloom to gray decline, their beauty always surprises me along our garden path.
This is a 9 x 12" loose art journal page on watercolor paper. There's a photograph of coneflowers from our garden, batik paper, handmade FIMO stamps, neocolors etc. The little circles were stamped with the lid of a pen.

How to Set up a Tenda W311R Wireless-N Broadband Router without the CD
- Plug in the router and connect it to your computer via a WIRED connection. Connect the cable into the Tenda router in one of the yellow ports labeled 1-4 (which one specifically should not matter).
- Open a web browser and go to http://192.168.0.1.
- When prompted for a username and password, enter "admin" for the username, and "admin" for the password. You should then see the following screen:
- Click "WLAN Settings", then "Basic Settings". You should see the following screen:
- Click "Enable Wireless" if it is not already checked, and enter a new name for your router in the field labeled "SSID". The default name is "Tenda", but you can choose any network name you like, so long as it is made up of only letters and numbers. Leave all other settings on this page at their defaults, and click "Apply".
- Now, click "Security Settings". You should see the following screen:

Bears are key recyclers in forest ecosystem, researcher finds
by Valerie Shore
A black bear about to scoop

Bears may play a much more profound role in the health and diversity of B.C.'s coastal forests than previously thought, says a University of Victoria biologist.
Studies of the interaction between bears and spawning salmon by Dr. Tom Reimchen have demonstrated that by carrying large numbers of dying or dead salmon into the woods to eat, black bears may be responsible for a massive transfer of essential nutrients from the streams into the forests.
"This potentially represents a major component to species diversity and productivity in forests adjacent to salmon streams," he says.
Reimchen became intrigued with the bear/salmon relationship while conducting a long-term study of stickleback fish in the Queen Charlotte Islands. "To me, salmon are like the wildebeest of the Serengeti," he says. "They've sequestered carbon and energy from elsewhere and arrive in huge numbers where, in a short period of time, dozens of other species depend on their abundance."
As he witnessed the spawning spectacle, Reimchen wondered what effect natural fluctuations in salmon numbers &emdash; and high harvest rates from commercial fishing &emdash; might be having on forest ecosystems.
In 1992, he set out to find some answers. As a study site, he selected a stream flowing into Bag Harbour, a small bay in Gwaii Haanas park in the southern Queen Charlottes, where about 5,800 chum salmon spawn every fall. He surveyed the number of salmon predators &emdash; such as black bears, eagles and seals &emdash; and inspected the salmon leftovers. "When you walk through the forest there are fish remains everywhere," says Reimchen. "These are salmon that were taken out of the stream and into the forest by bears, and partially eaten."
Conveniently, bears won't eat the hard lower jawbone of a salmon, so he was able to count the number of carcasses in the forest &emdash; sometimes located as far as 100 metres away from the stream. He found that about 80 per cent of the salmon that entered the stream ended up on the forest floor.
Reimchen returned to Bag Harbour the following year and got similar results. This time, he also assessed the reproductive condition of carcasses, and found that at least 70 per cent of females were spawned out and 80 per cent of males had spawned at least twice. "In other words, the effects on the next generation of salmon are small," he says.
More significantly, the eight black bears in the area each took about 1,600 kilograms of salmon into the forest &emdash; for a total of 5,200 kg &emdash; and ate about half. The remnants were used by scavengers, including a large number of insects.
"The bears are a major entry of nutrients into the forest that has not been recognized before," says Reimchen.
But the cycle doesn't end there. As the fish decay, nutrients such as nitrogen &emdash; a natural fertilizer &emdash; seep into the soil. "When you're walking through the forest and see not only salmon carcasses strewn everywhere, but also bear droppings, you can't help but suspect that there are nutrients being used by forest plants as well," says Reimchen. He calculates that rotting salmon contribute about 120 kg of nitrogen per hectare at Bag Harbour. "That's very close to the level of fertilizer used by professional foresters," he notes.
According to fishery statistics, Bag Harbour's chum salmon run peaked at 35,000 fish in 1947. Perhaps three to four times as much nitrogen was going into the forest back then. It raises questions about the long-term health of forest/salmon stream systems where bear predation is negligible due to human activity, such as Goldstream Provincial Park near Victoria.
Still, trees do grow where there are no salmon, so Reimchen's next goal is to find proof of a link between vegetation growth and salmon numbers. He was recently awarded a $110,000 grant from the Suzuki Foundation to trace salmon nutrients throughout the forest ecosystem using a form of nitrogen found in high levels in salmon. His team includes graduate student Deanna Mathewson, who is tracking this "salmon nitrogen" in vegetation, and postdotcotral colleague Dr. Jonathan Moran, who is researching the nitrogen content of soil.
Wood samples will be taken from Bag Harbour, Princess Royal Island and Clayoquot Sound.
"If we could detect this nitrogen signature in trees, then we could go ring by ring and look at the relative contribution of salmon year by year, possibly going back centuries," says Reimchen. "It might provide us with a direct estimate of how many salmon there were in past centuries, which in turn, would tell us about current ecological processes in our coastal forests."

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "
Alphabets Object To Portions of Helo NPRM
Major industry groups are expressing their displeasure with key sections of the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) governing helicopter EMS operations. In formal comments filed last week with the FAA, they voiced objection to portions of the rule mandating helicopter terrain awareness and warning systems (HTaws), IFR weather reporting and operational control centers. The groups-which include the Helicopter Association International (HAI), the Association of Air Medical Services and the National EMS Pilots Association (Nemspa)-want night-vision goggles (NVGs) as an alternate means of compliance to the HTaws mandate. Nemspa noted that data on the benefit of HTaws was thin, while HAI maintained that NVGs are the best way to avoid terrain accidents. HAI maintained that the new IFR weather reporting standards, which disallow the use of area forecasts, would have the unintended consequence of encouraging VFR flight into MVFR. The rule would also mandate Part 121-style operation control centers for operators with 10 or more helicopters. HAI found this 'incompatible' with Part 135 operations.

Hod (Höðr)
Hod (Höðr)
Life stories just don't get much more tragic than Hod's. Sure, as the son of Odin and Frigg, he's born a prince of the Asgard. But he's also born with a serious disability: blindness. That makes it kind of tough to join all the other kids in swordplay, archery, hand-to-hand combat—you know, normal kid stuff. Then, as if that weren't bad enough, Loki guides Hod's aim in shooting his brother, Balder, with mistletoe, the one thing that can kill him. Balder dies, and we're guessing Hod dies a little inside, too. Then he dies for real after Dad and his giantess mistress spawn Hod's freakishly fast-growing half-brother whose sole purpose in life is to kill him as punishment. This sad end to a sad life is enough to make you break out the Kleenex. Or maybe a pint of double-fudge chunk. Go ahead. We won't tell.

Daimler: Unionizing Vance will be hard sell
Published: Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 3, 2013 at 11:48 p.m.
The director of human resources for Daimler AG, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, said Thursday that he thinks the United Auto Workers will have a hard time trying to unionize Mercedes workers at Vance.
In an interview with The Detroit Free Press, HR director Wilfried Porth said Mercedes will remain neutral during the UAW's latest push to unionize the plant.
"The workers are free to decide if they want to be represented by the union or not," Porth said.
But he said the UAW faces an uphill battle at Mercedes-Benz U.S. International in Vance because the 2,900 workers there receive wages and benefits that he said Mercedes management considers adequate.
"I think the UAW in the U.S. has some challenges in marketing because of the history of the Big Three," Porth was quoted as saying, referring to Detroit automakers' contraction over the past 40 years.
Since 1979, the UAW's membership has declined from more than 1.5 million to less than 400,000.
The UAW has targeted the Mercedes plant as well as the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., and Nissan plants in Mississippi in its latest push into the Southeast.
