Freshmen Octavia Saunders (Westward Ho, England/Filton College) and Camilla Alderin (Oslo, Norway/Persbraten Videregaende Skole) led the Falcons with two shots each while five others had one shot a piece.
The Falcons will be back in action this Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 2 p.m. as they travel to the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

A cut fiber line creates a major inconvenience for thousands of phone and internet users.
The problem came from a failed attempt to steal copper. The outage affected thousands of Windstream customers in Perry County. We found out why backed up e-mail is the least is the of their worries.
Windstream officials say a would-be copper thief cut the wrong cable on Highway 421 along the Leslie-Clay County line instead cutting off thousands in Perry County from internet and long-distance phone services. It took Windstream officials all night to find the spot, and all morning to splice the fiber back together.
"The price of copper is pretty high and they can get a lot for it, and as the weather gets nicer, we're seeing more of it this time of year," said Windstream Spokesperson Erin Ascione.
Widespread copper thefts cost Windstream $700,000 dollars, just in the last two years.
"More important than that is our customers, when this happens, are left without a lifeline, without a way to get a hold of emergency services," Ascione said.
"Seconds and minutes sometimes could mean life or death," said Tony Watts with the Kentucky State Police.
It hasn't happened yet, but police say if someone dies because they can't dial 911, attempted copper thieves could face more serious charges than they realize.
"If a grand jury sees fit, exactly, you've got murder, you've got manslaughter, you've got reckless homicide, you've got a number of things that may cross a grand jury's mind when you present that investigation," Watts said.
Officials want to find out who's responsible for this crime, and let them know how many lives they put at risk.
If you have any information about the attempted copper theft, you should call police.

I want to look nice for my pregnancy, but at the same time im trying to grow my hair long so that its easier to deal with once the baby comes. I figure putting it in a pony tail is alot easier then trying to style shorter hair each day. But i feel like a mess. Its thick, and poofy and wavy. I try to moose it when i go out so it looks half decent but its unruly!
Anyone else trying to grow out their hair? Tips? I hope mine is long enough to pony before April! Ive been growing from a few inches since July 1st.

Each group will be required to hand in three case write-ups. All teams must do Colonial Homes since this is a case which requires price elasticity analysis. You may then choose any two of the following four cases:
Virgin Mobile
EA Sims
Cigarette Wars
The reports should be 2 pages long. This space constraint is designed to ensure that you think hard about the most important points to write down.
Your reports must be handed in at the start of the class in which the case will be discussed. These cases will be graded and will determine 36% of your overall grade. For the three written cases you should discuss the cases only within your group.
Use the case questions to guide your reports (and to help prepare for our discussion of the other cases). Some additional recommendations:

Don't Fear the Rater: Analyst Reactions to Moody's Downgrade Threat
You'd think that, after a major rating agency warns it's about to slap you with a credit-rating downgrade, you'd have to pay more to borrow money. And you'd be right, unless your name was Uncle Sam.
Ten-year Treasury yields are at 2.92% this morning, near their lows of the year, despite the warning from Moody's last night that the US AAA bond rating was in peril if it doesn't put the kibosh on this debt-ceiling debacle.
And little wonder, judging by the tone of several notes from economists and bond strategists this morning, who say the rating-agency cage-rattling is hardly the end of the world:
Goldman Sachs:
Moody's decision today to put the US on review for possible downgrade was, in our view, well telegraphed and does not significantly increase the likelihood of a downgrade. While headlines have swung from reports of a $4 trillion package last week to concerns more recently that no agreement will be reached, the underlying situation hasn't changed nearly as much. New details have emerged which support the view that near-term fiscal contraction would be modest. New "plan Bs" are emerging as to what to do if Congress fails to reach an agreement by the August 2 deadline, but the most likely means to a long-term debt limit increase remains the deficit reduction package that is being negotiated.
Jim Vogel, FTN Financial:
Unlike many aspects of credit analysis, the market is likely to render its own judgment on the US's credit standing rather than register a knee-jerk response to any rating agency's views on a topic of this magnitude. One reason is that rating agency cookbooks don't function that well on large scale, complex issues. Investors are much more likely to follow rating wisdom when the issuer in question represents one segment of an industry or a smaller sovereign. Concluding the US political process is fundamentally flawed — when this particular government array has been at it five months — is a stretch few of the world's most aggressive investors would be willing to make right now.
Although part of Moody's message raises important issues about debt management going forward, the immediate focus on August raises the bar for Aaa that is a big stretch in this political environment. By requiring a high degree of political unity/speed on a genuinely contentious issue, Moody's actually diminishes its own credibility and its standing to influence market behavior on global sovereign issues. S&P has taken a similar stance and runs the same risks among investors.
John Higgins, senior market economist at Capital Economics:
If a downgrade does occur, we doubt it will trigger widespread panic selling of Treasuries provided bondholders continue to get paid and the government does not default. Admittedly, the outcome might be very different if, in the unlikely event, the government actually defaults and this obliges some investors to liquidate their holdings of Treasuries for regulatory reasons. But even then, the impact might be short-lived and less than some fear, as the loss to bondholders would probably be small – presumably amounting to only a short delay in receiving their cash flows on Treasuries.
[P]rovided Congress can agree on a credible strategy for deficit reduction in the relatively near future (i.e. shortly after next year's presidential election at the latest), we think investors' faith in US government debt is unlikely to be shaken permanently. If a ratings downgrade galvanised Congress, it could even have a positive impact on Treasuries in the medium term.
Mike Schumacher, UBS rates strategist:
In our view, the chance of the US defaulting briefly if the political process goes off track is a risk that investors should not ignore. We continue to recommend buying 10yr Bunds vs. Treasuries, positioning for the long end of the US yield curve to steepen, and buying short-dated payer swaptions on the belly of the US curve versus selling shorter tenor payers.

Vontobel Says Emerging Markets Over-reacting to Fed Tapering Plan
The U.S. Federal Reserve's plan to gradually withdraw its support for debt markets is more manageable than many fear and won't be enough to force investors to rethink their emerging market strategies, according to Switzerland-based Vontobelset Management.
Vontobel, which holds assets in countries as diverse as Turkey, Russia and Brazil, reckons that when the Fed eventually feels able to trim its $85 billion monthly asset purchase program it will cut it by $15 billion, an amount fund manager Luc D'hooge believes isn't much.
Mr. D'hooge, who heads Vontobel's emerging markets fixed income funds, told The Wall Street Journal that the volatility seen among emerging market investments since the Fed first hinted it would start pulling its support has been a "bit overdone."
Analysts and economists mainly expect the Fed to start scaling back its asset purchases around the turn of the first and second quarters. The first public comments by incoming Fed chief Janet Yellen suggest the U.S. will keep its stimulus program intact until at least early next year.
A report by Fitch Ratings published earlier this month said that over 40% of European credit investors expect tapering to cause significant volatility.
"We do not anticipate widespread [emerging market] credit distress, owing to secular improvement in credit fundamentals, reducing risks from tighter global liquidity, higher interest rates and FX risk," Fitch said in the report dated Nov. 8.
"But the potential for the Fed move to increase volatility adds to worries about slowing EM [emerging market] growth," Fitch said, adding that credible and coherent economic policy management is likely to remain the most effective shield for sovereign credit profiles.
Vontobel had 160 billion Swiss Francs ($174.7 billion) worth of assets under management at the end of June 2013, and it currently has around $928 million invested in emerging market debt across three funds. One fund is focused on hard currency assets while the other two invest in local currency bonds.
Almost 8% of Vontobel's dollar-denominated Emerging Markets Debt is invested in Indonesian debt, around 7% in Russia, roughly 5.5% in Turkey and about 3.5% in Romania.
Vontobel's exposure to the three major Central European economies is relatively light.
"Czech debt is too rich [expensive] and they don't have dollar-denominated bonds," said Mr. D'hooge, a Belgian who, besides being a Chief Financial Analyst charter-holder, has an MSc in Geology and Mineralogy. He said also that the Czech Republic is a high-income country relative to its emerging market peers,
The size of Vontobel's investment in Hungary is largely in line with the benchmark provided by the J.P. Morgan Emerging Market Bond Index, despite some "structural issues" there. Vontobel's exposure in Polish assets is underweight versus the same benchmark.
Nonetheless, Hungary on Thursday surprised investors on the upside and the Czech Republic on the downside when they released third-quarter gross domestic product figures. Hungary's economy grew by 0.8% on the quarter, faster than the market consensus of 0.5% growth. GDP in the Czech Republic, meanwhile, declined 0.5% on the quarter compared with expectations it would grow.

paissad, can you also look into the issues with mediainfo and libmediainfo0?
not sure if this is anything to do with you?

It's about TsMuxer, i cannot put the full .deb package in PPA Launchpad repositories because tsMuxer source is not available ! ... That's the main reason why i currently prefer using my personal repo.
Osiris X wrote:Built debian package for 1.23 a couple of weeks ago and it works great - a few observations (not specifically related to this version):
I was experiencing an A/V sync and audio distortion (slowed down audio) problem particularly when using pmsencoder. It transpired that the latest version of mencoder in the debian repository was to blame - version 3:1.0~rc4+svn20110505-0.0. I have since held the package at version 2:1.0~rc4.dfsg1-2 and the problem is resolved.
I also experienced massive CPU + memory usage spikes (inc. disk thrashing on my swap partition if left long enough), extremely lengthy delays in media library re-builds and browsing the media server from the PS3. This issue turned out to be related to the version of libmediainfo0 that I was using. It appears that version 0.7.44 (in the debian repository) has this problem with certain .avi files - seemingly parsing the entire file to extract information. The problem also exists if you try to use mediainfo command/gui directly to extract info from the files in question.The solution was to hold the version at 0.7.41
I hope this helps somebody

But all tutorials are quite old and the script does not provide a multithread option.
Does someone have a solution or a link to a valid tutorial which works with Maverick or Lucid?

The iPod changed the MP3 device market and it did not really matter what the competition did. Nirma, in late '80s, handed out a beating to Hindustan Lever's Wheel and created a new mass segment. Experts say Nano will perhaps be more Nirma than an iPod.

Created By Affordable Care Act, Expands Access to Mental Health Services
WASHINGTON, DC—Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-3) announced today that three Connecticut health centers have been awarded grants by the Health and Human Services Department. With the grants, Griffin Hospital, Fair Haven Community Health Clinic and Community Health Center, Inc. will be better able to provide comprehensive physical and mental health care to students, in their schools, where the care is easily accessible.
"These grants will go a long way towards making health services more readily available for children and adolescents. Unfortunately Connecticut needs no reminder of how critical it is to make sure young people can access mental, as well as physical health care services. I am proud the Affordable Care Act created this grant program and we are continuing to support programs that make our communities healthier. Even in tough fiscal times, we have to put people's health and safety first."
The awards are as follows:
- Community Health Center, Inc; Middletown--$451,370
- Fair Haven Community Health Clinic, Inc; New Haven--$231,305
- Griffin Hospital/Griffin Health Services Corporation; Derby--$26,772
Under the Affordable Care Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services is required to award grants to support school-based health centers that provide comprehensive physical and mental health services to children and adolescents. For more information on the program, click here.

It took a couple of years, but an Ohio Supreme Court-appointed panel has developed 56 recommendations related to application of the state's death penalty.
The 22-member panel of judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, legislators and law enforcement officers was appointed in 2011 by Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor. The panel released the recommendations during a meeting in Columbus Thursday.
"Ohio would still have capital punishment but I think it would be limited to the worst of the worst cases, which has always been the stated goal of the death penalty in the United States," state Public Defender Timothy Young, who supports many of the proposals, told the Associated Press.

Among those proposals is removing the death penalty option for anyone legally determined to have a "severe mental illness" when a crime is committed or at the time of the scheduled execution.
In addition the death penalty would not be an option simply because a death occurred during the commission of some felonies, including aggravated arson, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, kidnapping, and rape.
"I don't think the death penalty should be eliminated, but it could be curbed. If an accidental death occurs when someone is committing a crime, that should be taken into account," said Marietta College student Dylan Staats from Euclid.

Some Ohio death penalty panel recommendations:
Remove death penalty option for someone legally diagnosed with "severe mental illness" at the time of the crime or at the scheduled time of execution.
Death penalty would not be an option solely because a death occurred during some felonies, including aggravated arson, aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, kidnapping and rape.
Prohibit death penalty in cases without DNA or biological evidence, a video recording linking the defendant to a murder, or a voluntary recorded confession.
Create a fund to pay for all prosecution and defense of capital cases.
Source: The Associated Press
As for mental illness being a consideration for not imposing the death penalty, he said that could present a problem.
"It could be hard to prove mental illness at the time a crime was committed," Staats said.
Marietta resident Elsie Bonnette said once a felon is convicted it's often a long time before the death penalty is carried out.
"Even when there is a death penalty sentence, it's so complicated (the convicted felon) may be in prison for years, and (taxpayers) have to take care of their housing, food, and health needs during that time," she said.
Jim Naylor, another Marietta resident, agreed that it can take years before a death sentence is completed. But he would like to see the death penalty eliminated in Ohio.
"No matter how heinous the crime, we're still killing people for no other reason than revenge," he said. "And it can take 20 to 30 years to file appeals against their sentence. I think the sentence should be life imprisonment and bring back the inmate work crews so they could work to pay for their crimes rebuilding our infrastructure."
Another panel recommendation would prohibit the death penalty in cases where DNA or biological evidence is not present, or if a voluntary recorded confession or a video linking the defendant to a murder does not exist.
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien, a member of the panel, told the Associated Press that he disagreed with many of the panel's proposals.
"Many of the recommendations are so onerous that you could take Timothy McVeigh, and if he didn't give a videotaped confession, and you didn't have DNA, you couldn't execute Timothy McVeigh," he said.
McVeigh was convicted and executed in 2001 for the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, Okla.
The Ohio General Assembly would have to take action in order for some of the panel's recommendations to become law.
Ohio Rep. Andy Thompson, R-Marietta, said he's supported capital punishment.
"I've supported it in the past. Not everyone agrees, but especially in the case of heinous crimes I think it should remain in place," he said. "But I also can appreciate that everyone should be able to prove their innocence. So I'm looking forward to seeing the panel's recommendations."
According to The Associated Press, Ohio has executed 53 men by lethal injection since re-instating the death penalty in 1999. Another execution is scheduled in May.

DC Central Kitchen Wins USDA Farm to School Grant
We're all about local impact at DC Central Kitchen. That's why we're proud to announce that we won a $100,000 grant from the USDA Farm to School program to invest more into local produce.
Because of seasonality, it's hard for us to use local when it's out of season. This grant will give us more capacity to process and safely store fresh produce when it's ready locally.
With the additional funding we'll also increase our investment into local growers and farmers by 43 percent over 2011, to an impressive $165,000 in local impact.
The produce will be used in over 5,000 healthy, scratch-cooked meals each day serving students at DC Public Schools.
Over half of DCCK's funding comes from generating revenue through social enterprise and with this Farm to School Grant, we're not just investing resources back into the community. We're also seeing a return on that investment that cycles back to our other life changing programs. The Healthy School Food Program is an example of how we're thinking long-term about being a sustainable organization.
The Washington Post ran a story on the USDA award last week. Check it out here.

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- In response to overwhelming fleet requirements and positive user feedback of the SPAWAR Acquisition Integrated Logistics Online Repository (SAILOR) 2.0, the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) launched SAILOR version 2.1 on Sept. 15.
Developed in collaboration with Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence, the updated tool provides additional product features in anticipation of fleet demands for expanding the number of systems covered by this powerful tool.
"I see critical value with SAILOR in terms of a direct technical knowledge medium between the fleet and subject matter experts ashore," said Lt. Cmdr. Donald Wilson, force combat systems information officer, Commander, Naval Air Forces. "Having the documentation readily available at the click of a mouse, allows Sailors to properly configure, operate and maintain equipment and software; in turn you get improved system performance and support which equals increased fleet C4I readiness."
SAILOR was developed in November 2010 as a user-friendly tool to assist the fleet in accessing current hardware and software configurations as well as product support documents. SAILOR allows the fleet to exchange technical knowledge with subject matter experts through blogs and a technical exchange forum which ultimately increases transparency and decreases response time.
"Not only will the fleet have access to critical documents and configuration files for their C4I products, they'll have 'how to' videos to help trouble shoot their equipment," said Margaret Fellenbaum, SPAWAR's technical director of product data management.
Originally designed for Sailors between ages 18 to 30, users can now navigate a comprehensive interface that includes video streaming capabilities, convenient document aggregation, fleet feedback mechanism, consolidated navigation menus and enhanced user support areas.
"Bandwidth is limited out in the fleet. SAILOR 2.1 loads significantly faster and is more responsive," said Information Systems Technician 1st Class Justin Roysdon, SPAWAR C4I Help Desk.
SAILOR 2.1 offers the fleet an array of features such as "tech tube," updated navigation and interface display and a media center. Tech tube, a series of "how to" videos, was created based on SPAWAR Commander Rear Adm. Patrick Brady's recommendation to display, track and report video tutorials to the fleet in an effort to proactively counter critical fleet issues like readiness and technical support.
"SAILOR has become an essential tool for the fleet to enhance C4I readiness and ultimately the Navy's Information Dominance capabilities," said Brady. "SPAWAR continues to strive to meet fleet requirements, and SAILOR 2.1 provides additional features that the fleet has been asking for."
With an increasing response to the promotion of fleet readiness and ensuring warfighter efficiency, requirements are rapidly increasing for a faster, more efficient means of accessing online training, technical manuals and "how to" videos for Sailors on board a Navy ship.
With a focus on fiscal efficiency, SPAWAR took the reins and pursued a more cost effective approach in quickly distributing logistics, training and instructional material to the fleet with version 2.1.
Forward moving trends have also shown systems leaning toward central online distribution points to provide an on-demand environment, where data can be instantly accessed without the need for physical media. SAILOR 2.1 significantly decreases program sustainment costs in maintaining, shipping and tracking of training materials.
"[SPAWAR]...listened to the fleet Sailors and placed a majority of our C4I system information in a single location," said Information Systems Technician 1st Class Christopher Tierney, USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53).
SAILOR 2.1 will maintain its current security, privacy methods and policies, with the new changes not having an effect on security measures.
As the Navy's Information Systems Dominance systems command, SPAWAR and the SAILOR 2.1 team looks forward to receiving feedback on the launch of a product that directly benefits the sailor, increases fleet readiness and improves product data availability, accuracy and accessibility.

One of the world's foremost pizza experts presents more than 100 weird and wild pizza box designs
Since the origins of to-go pizza, pizzerias and pizza chains have taken great pride in covering take-out boxes with captivating designs. They've also wrestled with the best way to manufacture a box that can keep a pizza both hot and stable.
Here the world's expert on pizza boxes collects 100 weird and wild box designs and explores the curious history of the pizza box. Included are international designs, corporate designs, and dozens of quirky images produced by and for mom-and-pop pizzerias.
Where does all of this art come from? Scott Wiener has been collecting and cataloging pizza boxes for 10 years. In Viva La Pizza!—named after a popular box design—Wiener traces design trends over the past four decades and speaks to some of the world's most prolific box designers. The result is a captivating look at pizza culture and a new way to look at one of the world's favorite foods.
SCOTT WIENER's writing appears online at Serious Eats and on his blog, Scott's Pizza Journal. His award-winning column, "Man on the Street," appears monthly in Pizza Today Magazine. He is the founder of Scott's Pizza Tours, which guides tourists and New Yorkers though the history, science, and culture of New York City pizza. The tours have been featured on the Food Network, the Cooking Channel, the Travel Channel, the Discovery Channel, Lonely Planet, and a host of other outlets. Wiener maintains the world's largest archive of unique pizza boxes.

Former Top SEC Enforcement Official Returns to Law Firm Milbank, Tweed
George Canellos, who stepped down from a top enforcement job at the Securities and Exchange Commission in January, is returning to his former law firm of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP to head the litigation department.
The announcement caps weeks of speculation within the legal world about where the one-time SEC enforcement co-chief, also a former federal prosecutor, would wind up in the private sector.
Mr. Canellos had been courted by a number of top law firms. Milbank Chairman Scott Edelman invited Mr. Canellos to breakfast at Bubby's in Tribeca to make his recruitment pitch shortly after Mr. Canellos stepped down. "Bubby's is Scott's new power breakfast place," Mr. Canellos said.
But the pitch nearly stumbled when they showed up and found Bubby's closed, said Mr. Canellos. Instead, the two hunkered down at a local diner. "I told him how good it would be for him and how good it would be for us," Mr. Edelman told Law Blog. "We wanted George back."
On Tuesday, Mr. Canellos called Mr. Edelman. "I'm in," Mr. Canellos said, according to Mr. Edelman.
Mr. Canellos has strong ties to the firm – he was a partner there from 2003 to 2009. Messrs. Edelman and Canellos had been junior associates in adjacent offices at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz early in their careers. Three of the firm's partners had been fellow prosecutors serving alongside Mr. Canellos in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York.
"I have relationships with the people there that go back decades," Mr. Canellos told Law Blog on Wednesday.
Milbank is a 148-year-old firm that was founded in 1866 and rose to become one of Wall Street's preeminent firms thanks in part to its historic association with the Rockefellers.
Mr. Edelman told the Law Blog his 600-lawyer firm has been trying to shed its stodgy image as it moves into more 21st century legal niches including satellite and aviation financing deals. Milbank also represents Apple Inc. in some of the company's ongoing legal battles with patent holders.
Mr. Canellos took charge of the SEC's New York office in 2009 amid criticism the agency had failed to catch Bernard Madoff's $17 billion Ponzi scheme and clamp down on the practices that led to the financial crisis.
Mr. Canellos was part of the team in 2010 that led an overhaul of the agency's 1,000-man enforcement division, which brought in more Wall Street experts, created a new system to reward cooperators and flattened out the division's management structure. In 2012, Mr. Canellos was appointed co-chief of the agency's enforcement division.
Mr. Canellos oversaw some of the highest-profile civil cases on the behalf of the securities regulator, including the insider-trading investigations into the Galleon Group hedge fund founder Raj Rajaratnam, former McKinsey & Co. global chief Rajat Gupta and the giant hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors LP. Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York handled the related criminal cases.
Mr. Canellos is expected to take up his new duties at Milbank in March. In the meantime, Mr. Canellos said he is savoring some downtime, with a vacation in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, a golf getaway to Orlando, and reading books that are not about the law, including Rubicon: The Last Years of the Roman Republic.

If you are a fan of Smallville, you'll know that Tom Welling, who plays Superman, has yet to wear the iconic tights and cape of the comic book crusader, but, as the series comes to an end, he is inching towards the costume like a reverse strip tease.
Here he is pictured in a red leather jacket embossed with the Superman logo. I don't normally go for red leather jackets as I usually associate them with Russian ladies in pumps at an 80s style disco but Tom could wear anything, or nothing at all, and still look good.

Critics of Larry David say he has gone further than any other Jewish comic or intellectual in insulting Christianity and Christian values.Gilad Atzmon (Hebrew: גלעד עצמון, born June 9, 1963) is a jazz musician, author and anti-Zionist activist who was born in Israel and currently lives in London."Anti-Semite is an empty signifier, no one actually can be an Anti-Semite and this includes me of course. In short, you are either a racist - which I am not - or have an ideological disagreement with Zionism... which I have."He was born a secular Israeli Jew in Tel Aviv, and trained at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem. His service in the Israeli military convinced him Israel had become a militarized state controlled by religious extremists. In 1994, Atzmon emigrated from Israel to London, where he studied philosophy. Atzmon is an anti-Zionist who critiques Jewish identity issues and supports the Palestinian Right of Return as well as the establishment of a single state in Israel/Palestine. He is a signatory to the "Palestinians are the Priority Petition" which states "full and unconditional support of the Palestinian people is a condition sine qua non for activists to adopt.
In an episode of the highly popular HBO series "Curb Your Enthusiasm," which caricatures David's true personal life, David accidentally splashes a drop of urine on a framed picture of Jesus that is hanging in his devout secretary's bathroom.
Having been prescribed a drug that makes him urinate like an Israeli police anti-riot water-jet cannon, a drop of urine splashed right under the eye of Christ. In the scene David seems to be aware that some of his water has ended up on the face of Jesus. Before leaving the bathroom he stares at the drop closely, he is just about to clear it but guess what, he doesn't. The man wouldn't touch his own urine. He prefers to leave the mess behind. He doesn't take responsibility. In the following scene, David's secretary springs into his office overwhelmed with divine excitement, announcing that she and her mother have witnessed a miracle in their bathroom just after David left. They saw Jesus crying with a fresh tear running down his cheek.
People in America and around the world are outraged. 'A Jewish comedian urinated on Jesus Christ they say.
Henry Makow was very eloquent in describing what is so wrong in David's comedy. In his 'toilet accident' David managed to express contempt for "Jesus, Christianity and millions of Christians. First, No Christian would keep a portrait of Jesus in the bathroom. Only an arrogant, disrespectful, ignorant person like Larry David could imagine that. Second, no writer with respect for human dignity and decorum talks about toilet accidents. What is this childish fetish comedy-writers have with bodily and sexual functions? Is this the last taboo? Third, this scene would be classified as a hate crime if it were aimed at anyone but Christians. Imagine the reaction if he peed on a Menorah, an Israeli flag or a Koran? I don't believe this scene is an accident. It's a deliberate attack on the Christian majority, designed to humiliate, shame and disinherit."
I obviously agree with the thrust of Makow's argument, yet I would suggest to him to leave out the Jewish Menorah, for not many Jews know what the Menorah stands for. Let's try instead, to imagine what would have happen if a Gentile would urinate by mistake on a Holocaust symbol. What would have happen if, for instance, a French Muslim comedian splashed a drop of urine on a portrait of Elie Wiesel? Let me tell you, hell would break loose.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
One must bear in mind that contempt towards others beliefs and spiritual symbols, is well imbued in the Jewish value system. This applies to the religious secular, left, right and centre. It is an established fact that Orthodox Jews are taught to spit whenever they come across a Crucifix or pass by a Church. Not many Gentiles are aware also of the devastating fact that Yeshu, the Hebrew name for Jesus, corresponds to the abbreviation for the Hebrew expression 'yimmach shemo vezikhro', meaning "May his name and memory be blotted out", an expression saved for the most hated enemies of the Jewish people such as Hitler and Amalek.
I learned recently from an American Jewish professor who teaches in Prague, that convoys of young American Jewish students make their way to the beautiful Czech capitol every summer. They apparently use the opportunity to spit on the many Churches and golden crucifixes around. I also learned from the professor that the Crucifixes on Prague's famous Charles Bridge were initially decorated with the Hebrew words Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh Adonai Tzvaot, "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts" back in the 17th century just to stop Jews spiting on Christian symbols and the Crucifix in particular. *
But it isn't just the orthodox Jews who spit on others precious symbols. In fact Jewish secular ideology is just as spiteful towards other ideologies. The so called Jewish Humanists, Liberals, progressives and atheists happen to spit on every form of spirituality and divinity. Jewish emancipation has led Jews towards a new form of Atheist zeal that has matured into zero tolerance towards religion. The emancipated believes in 'reason' and the 'spirit of enlightenment'. But it goes further; the Zionists spit on human rights and universal values in the name of Jewish national revival. The Israelis spit white phosphorous on civilians in the name of the war against terror. The Marxist mocks God and religion in the name of 'working class politics'. In fact to be a Jew is to spit on something. Even the so-called 'self hating Jews' spend much of their intellectual effort spitting on themselves.
Here Comes the Twist.
Larry David is a TV genius. I came across him for the first time a year or so ago. In the band wagon I was touring with at the time, the English Jewish manager played 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' all day long. My first reaction was total resentment towards the self-centric skinny sociopath. But soon he grew on me. In fact I fell in love, I became addicted and so were all the other band members who rushed to buy the entire DVD box. Interestingly enough, many of my Arab Friends happen to love David as well. I have recently learned from my friend Mamoon Alabbasi, an Iraqi born writer and editor, that he is a devoted Larry David fan. He insists that David could easily be an Arab character. Seemingly the Jewish protagonist has managed to bring to light some tribal tendencies that may as well cross the divide. David, the protagonist of Jewish autism, greed and selfishness somehow touches the universal.
In 'Curb your Enthusiasm,' David manages to blur the distinction between Larry David the protagonist and David the person. He invites the camera to his home, to his kitchen, to his bed, into his wife's knickers. He is far more than just a glimpse into a Jewish, modern, Godless life. He is a dark satirical portrayal of everything that could ever go wrong with Jewish secular identity.
David spits on everything: you name it, he spits on it. It was David who exposes the Jewish fetish with body organs long before we all started to discuss Israeli organ harvesting. David ridicules the Shoa obsession, the Jewish and anti Wagner fetish. David spits on every possible American value one can think of. He mocks the celebrity culture, materialism and greed. He exposes Jewish supremacy, ignorance and arrogance. Yet, he is doing it all by putting himself in the line of fire. He doesn't just bring to light to Jewish ugliness, he often embodies this ugliness himself.
David is probably the most courageous Jewish comedian of all time. He is there to provide us with the ultimate possible devastating portrait of Jewish emancipation. He is the self centric, egotistic, sickening character and yet, he is totally beloved and adorable.
In fact, it is not Larry David we should 'pick on', it is not David who is caught in a 'toilet incident'. It is the disastrous identity he exposes and portrays on the little screen, which was once again caught spitting. Rather than David, it is those who are indoctrinated to hate whom we should criticize. Those who spit on Crosses, Churches, Koran, Islam, God, the prophets, spirituality, divinity and so on.
The above should lead us into a different interpretation of David's latest incident.
The complexity that is exposed by David's scene has very little to do with his accidental urine spray. It is not even David's conscious decision not to clean the mess he left behind. Far more crucial and deep is David's role in ridiculing and dismissing of divinity. By presenting the secretary as a fool who sees God in a 'drop of urine', David actually shows contempt to billions of believers. The sad truth is that constant rage against spirituality and divinity is the real message of the emancipated Jew to the Western World. The modern Jew regards him or herself as the embodiment of rationality, they dismiss the possibility of supernatural forces, they are logical, rational and positivist. They believe in empiricism, science and technology.
But in David's 'toilet scene' it is not just Christ and the Christians who are being insulted, it is an insult to anyone who believes that life is more than just physical matter. And yet, David should be thanked for providing us once again with a glimpse into the emancipated Jewish mind.
Far more concerning is the fact that even the Catholic leaders who were outraged by David's toilet scene failed to grasp or articulate where the problem was. Even they lost the capacity to think in spiritual terms. They themselves fell into the Judeo centric material symbolic trap thinking about 'a urine drop' and a 'portrait of Christ'.
David's Catholic critics failed to grasp it all because they are already spiritually suppressed, silenced, robbed and indoctrinated by different enlightened rational 'Davids'. They are pushed into the corner by an extremely intolerant institutionalised liberal discourse that is there to serve one emancipated tribe in particular.
David, bless him, took upon himself the courageous responsibility to portray the ugly face of Jewish atheism and Jewish liberal identity. He took it upon himself to embody the dismissal of divinity and spirituality. Rather than blaming the messenger we better be brave enough to read the message.
* "On Charles Bridge, the visitor will observe a great crucifix surrounded by huge gilded Hebrew letters that spell the traditional Hebrew sanctification Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh Adonai Tzvaot, "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts." According to various commentators, this piece, degrading to Jews, came about because in 1609 a Jew was accused of desecrating the crucifix. The Jewish community was forced to pay for putting up the Hebrew words in Gold letters. Another explanation is that a Jew spit at the cross and for this he was to be put to death as punishment. When this man begged for his life, the king, seeking to have good relations with the Jews, said the Jewish community had to rectify the offence…."

Honesty is the best policy...
Sometime the truth is subtle and politically correct, sometime is comes from Larry David, in you face, SPIT, then you have to wipe it off and think about why people are so ignorant about Jesus.
From what I have learned, Jesus was an OK guy, Why hate a nice person,? Did I miss something about the culture or is it just me, I dont see this as very funny or should I say, not enlightening, more in the tome of disgusting, at least to me, but then, who am I ?
The bit about the drop or urine on Jesus cheek is funny and no harm done but if the intention was to highlight the act and spread it's practice or glorify this kind of desecration practice as the New Jewish modern chic, Larry David knows that low brow is chic and sells it to this audience, thats not enlightenment thats stupidity. People will emulate this attitude and David will create more of it, culture wars or is this innocent jibes, maybe both. He could do better, but if your going to pick on God, it seems like Jesus always takes the heat, this is Jesus hate, right, why bother, the guy is dead, martyred at that hands of people to whom he would be a humble and loving king and they spit in his face, Larry David may think he got away with one but Jesus is known to return in the sky with rewards, when you see great earthquakes and tribulations, wars and rumors of wars, Larry David, Dont look up.

I sold Penn Virginia Resource Partners on July 3
When I posted my most recent update of my Dividend Income portfolio http://jubakpicks.com/2012/07/03/if-you-want-to-earn-more-dividend-income-youll-have-to-put-up-with-more-volatility-what-you-want-to-avoid-is-a-permanent-impairment-of-capital/ on July 3, I promised that I'd make the required changes to the online portfolio http://jubakpicks.com/jubak-dividend-income-portfolio/ within a couple of days.
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
Here it is early September and I'm just updating the portfolio now. My bad.
For those of you without perfect recall (or who have better things to stuff their brains with than changes in my portfolios) on July 3 I dropped Penn Virginia Resource Partners (PVR) from that portfolio. The closing price that day was $24.03.
My logic was pretty simple. Although Penn Virginia's share price wasn't down significantly in the period under review (May 6, 2011 through June 29, 2012)—in fact it was up 0.9%–I was worried about the stock going forward. It wouldn't profit me, or any other income investor, to collect Penn Virginia's hefty dividend yield, then 8.5%, if the share price tumbled and investors suffered a permanent impairment of capital. Looking ahead, I could see a recovery in coal demand and prices from current levels, but to me it looked like the market share losses suffered by high-cost Appalachian coal, Penn Virginia's strong point, would be permanent. Western producers were building out new shipping capacity on the West Coast that just about guaranteed that lower-cost coal from the Powder River Basin would grab a bigger share of Asian markets after any recovery. Management at Penn Virginia seemed to recognize this trend too and had started to diversify the company's asset base into natural gas collection and pipeline systems.
"If I wanted to own more of this kind of asset," I wrote then, "I'd look to increase my investment in ONEOK or Magellan or Western Gas Partners."
And with that I sold Penn Virginia out of the portfolio, an action whose bookkeeping I'm completing today.
Full disclosure: I don't own shares of any of the companies mentioned in this post in my personal portfolio. The mutual fund I manage, Jubak Global Equity Fund http://jubakfund.com/ , may or may not now own positions in any stock mentioned in this post. The fund did not own shares of Penn Virginia Resource Partners as of the end of March. For a full list of the stocks in the fund as of the end of March see the fund's portfolio at http://jubakfund.com/about-the-fund/holdings/

You can now, thanks to Easyjet fly from London to Tours. The airport is small so very simple. Hire a car and drive on the motorway A28 directly to the château. It will only take you from Tours 1hour and 15 minutes.
You can also take the train from St Pancras International station and arrive in Le Mans without going through Paris. Le Mans is just 30 minutes from Saint Paterne.
From A28
Alençon Sud exit N° 19, follow the sign to Saint Paterne, Saint Paterne centre, and at the 2nd stop turn immediately on your right.
From Paris : take the " pont de Saint Cloud ", then the motorway A13 in direction of Versailles, and then the N12 in direction of Dreux, Verneuil sur Avre, Mortagne au Perche and finally Alençon.
From Alençon : take the D311 in direction of Chartres/Mamers/Orléans. At the exit of Alençon, the alley of the château will be on your right, opposite a gas station, in the centre of the village of Saint Paterne.
Take the A1 in direction of Paris. Stay in the right hand lane, and follow the signs " Paris Ouest " up to Porte de la Chapelle.
Take then the " périphérique Ouest ". Paris is on your left. Follow the signs for Rouen (the A13 motorway). Continue to follow the direction of Rouen and take the tunnel of " Saint Cloud ". Continue on the A13 until Versailles, and then the N12 in direction of Dreux and Alençon.

Malloy Energy Plan Pits Natural Gas Against Oil
From Bloomberg
By Stephen Singer
A broad effort by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to reshape energy policy in Connecticut with incentives to boost efficiency and keep down costs has drawn strong opposition from the home heating oil industry, which accuses the state of encouraging residential and business customers to dump local oil suppliers in favor of increasingly popular natural gas.
It's shaping up as a David-and-Goliath struggle between family-run home heating oil companies stung by skyrocketing oil prices, and the state and its regulated gas utility monopolies.
"They're using state resources to eliminate jobs, delivery drivers, customer service representatives," said Stephen G. Rosentel, president of Leahy's Fuels Inc., a family-owned home heating business that has operated in Danbury since 1917. "These are real jobs and real people, and they matter."
Malloy administration officials disagree with Rosentel's comments, saying the governor's plan would create 10,000 jobs through the extension of gas lines and other projects and lead to significant savings for consumers.
"This is by no means forcing anyone to covert (to natural gas) by any stretch of the imagination," Malloy spokesman Andrew Doba said Monday.
Malloy's proposal recommends policy changes in energy efficiency, electricity supply, industrial energy needs, transportation and natural gas. He's promoting his plan as a way to spur economic development, business growth and lower costs in a state where homeowners and businesses have long complained that high energy costs are choking off other economic activities.
But the natural gas component instantly stirred opposition to the proposal giving incentives to homeowners and businesses to convert from oil to natural gas.
Thirty-one percent of Connecticut homes heat with gas, compared with 47 percent in Massachusetts and 48 percent in Rhode Island, the state says. And the percentage of commercial and industrial businesses with access to gas is only slightly higher, state officials say.
Malloy proposes to make gas available to as many as 300,000 Connecticut homes and businesses by asking state regulators to allow utilities to collect customer payments — extended over longer periods of time — to finance conversions to natural gas. The plan also would promote construction of 900 miles of gas mains with a focus on connecting factories, hospitals, schools and other big energy users.
The governor's plan calls for privately obtained capital, utility financing and bonds to pay for conversion. It also proposes an economic development fund to support fuel-switching for commercial and industrial customers to support a "growth agenda."
Jessie Stratton, director of policy for the state Department of Energy and Environmental Policy, did not entirely rule out public financing, saying that "taxpayer involvement is probably unlikely."
"Barring some public subsidy, which I think is fairly unlikely, there is no state subsidy on this," she said.
Stratton, a former state legislator, said Connecticut has promoted a "significant amount of public subsidies" for oil with incentives to promote efficiency in buildings heated by oil and tapping into a fund financed by electric and natural gas ratepayers.
Chris Herb, vice president of the Independent Connecticut Petroleum Association, said the group is "absolutely opposed" to any state incentives to convert to natural gas.
"We're not afraid of competition. We're not afraid of consumers making choices," he said. "We believe natural gas utilities have the financial means to extend their lines."
But Doba said the governor's proposal is being supported by labor unions and the Connecticut Business & Industry Association, the largest business representation group in the state.
Michael West, a spokesman for United Illuminating, the New Haven-based utility that shares its parent holding company with Connecticut Natural Gas and the Southern Connecticut Gas Co., said increased demand for natural gas is due to rising interest from customers who "call us constantly."
The gas companies have made a commitment to increase the number of customers by about 10 percent over three years, beginning in 2011, from its current number of about 345,000, he said.
Mitch Gross, a spokesman for Yankee Gas, a subsidiary of Northeast Utilities, said the Connecticut company has been adding between 3,000 and 4,000 customers a year since 2007.
"The phones remain very busy," he said.
Rosentel questioned why the state needs to provide incentives if oil companies are losing customers to natural gas and propane.
"That's happening without a state subsidy," he said. "It begs the question, 'Why is the state subsidizing?'"
And Herb questioned the state's economic development assumptions that converting to natural gas would pump $250 million into the state's economy each year by cutting homeowners' heating bills and another $215 million a year in business production cost savings.

It seems he didn't have one single positive comment on astex prior to the run up. He must have been playing stupid. It looks as if most of these pumpettees had no believe in astex when they should have and now are over compensating for it. I also notice that thinkabout it does zero actual DD, he just seems to post whatever stupid thought that gets in it.
Pumpettees are normally the runt of the litter.
Sentiment: Sell
If they're pumpettes, you're either a dumpette or dumbette (for wasting your time and ours on this board).
Told you already, you are sick narcissistic egomaniac. You really need to see a doctor asap and stay away from sharp objects. JUST LEAVE US ALONE , YOU SHITBUCKET OF LOSERS.

When we hear the term "infectious disease", we usually think of something that can infect us and cause a disease process to begin. That "something" can be a bacteria, virus, parasite, or fungus obtained from many different sources (other infected individuals, poor hygiene, transfusion with infected blood, shared needles between drug users, etc.). Disease-causing bacteria and viruses are known as infectious agents, and some of them can be quickly identified by using genetic testing techniques; however, common infectious agents, such as certain bacteria and viruses, are much less expensive to identify using standard laboratory methods that don't involve genetic testing techniques.
Bacteria are one-celled organisms that contain their own DNA and in some cases can cause serious disease. Even those bacteria that harmlessly live inside our bodies and are involved in beneficial processes can become mutated under unusual conditions and cause us to be very sick. By isolating the DNA from bacteria, and amplifying and analysing specific regions of the DNA, the bacteria can be identified very quickly. Among the many bacteria that can be quickly identified using these genetic testing techniques are: Chlamydia trachomitis, which is an organism that causes a sexually-transmitted disease; Neisseria gonorrhea, which causes gonorrhea, Borrelia burgdorferi which causes Lyme Disease, Legionella pneumophilia which causes Legionnaire's disease, Mycoplasma pneumoniae which leads to "walking pneumonia", Mycopbacterium tuberculosis which can cause tuberculosis, and Bordetella pertussis which causes whooping cough. Specimens that might contain these bacteria include urine, blood, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, and others.
Viruses are unusual organisms that sometimes insert their DNA into a host's genome. The viral RNA or DNA utilises the host's cells to produce proteins and make more viruses. Viruses such as hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are examples of RNA viruses.
Other disease-causing viruses that contain DNA instead of RNA include Herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, parvovirus, and varicella-zoster viruses. All of these viruses can be identified by first removing the suspected viral DNA or RNA from a patient specimen and then using it to provide a "fingerprint" of the suspected virus. Specimens usually include blood, cerebrospinal fluid, sputum, other body fluids, amniotic fluid, tissue, or bone marrow. Much of the testing on donor blood that will be used in a blood transfusion utilises genetic testing to inspect the blood for viral contamination.
Determining how many copies of a virus' RNA or DNA are present in an individual's blood is another use of infectious disease genetic testing techniques. The number of copies present is typically referred to as the "viral load" or "viral burden". This testing is usually done after a drug therapy is initiated to assess whether it is working or not to remove or decrease the viral RNA load. The most common viral load tests are for HCV or HIV, and the tests require a sample of blood.A parasite is a complex multi-cellular organism. Parasites usually infect an individual through the saliva of a biting insect, such as a mosquito, or through infected material. An example of a parasite that can be identified using genetic tests is Toxoplasma gondii which can cause encephalitis or congenital infections that lead to severe damage of a fetus (fetal toxoplasmosis).

Man sentenced to life in prison without parole for sexually assaulting 5-year-old relative in Tarrant County
A California man was sentenced to life in prison without parole Thursday for sexually assaulting a 5-year-old relative in Fort Worth.
Julio Ortiz Chavarria, 45, was convicted Wednesday of two counts of aggravated sexual assault of a child under six. He received the maximum sentence Thursday, according to the Tarrant County district attorney's office.
On Aug. 19, 2011, a 5-year-old girl told her mother that Chavarria had sexually assaulted her. The girl was taken for an examination at Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, according to court records.
Chavarria had abandoned his truck in a Walmart parking lot in Arlington and fled to California. Fort Worth police issued a warrant, and Chavarria was later extradited to Texas. He had prior convictions in California for robbery, drug possession and theft, according to the Tarrant County district attorney.
"This defendant has a pattern of taking things that don't belong to him," said Tarrant County Prosecutor Melinda Westmoreland in a written statement. "This time he took something that we can never get back—the innocence of a child."

A Social Network for Elearning Developers and Professionals
I believe that learning is really all about trust.
Words written on a website or piece of paper can say anything. Whether or not we take them on board and learn from them really depends on how much we believe what they are saying is true. And whether or not we believe them is about our personal relationship with the person we think authored them.
So why do people trust the web? Let's take Wikipedia as an example. The entry about elearning in Wikipedia was first created by Hannes Hirzel in 2002. Since then, it has had hundreds of users creating hundreds of changes to the document. Hannes himself gave up editing in 2005 (after 59 edits) but a user called WeisheitSuchen has continued edit the document since racking up 67 edits from 2007 to 2010.
So, it would be fair to say that the page about eLearning on Wikipedia has been thoroughly discussed, debated and changed by a wide variety of people for a long period of time. Does this mean it is more trust-worthy (and therefore learnable) than other web pages? Probably. I personally don't particularly trust the pseudo-anonymous Wikipedia contributors as individuals. As a group though, I would say that they confer a certain level of trust-worthiness.
However, this is not the real reason why I trust what is written on the Wikipedia page. There's another level of editorial control over Wikipedia documents that isn't immediately obvious. Remember, we didn't search Wikipedia to find the page on eLearning, we searched Google.
Google PageRank
Google ranks web pages according to an algorithm invented by Larry Page whilst he was a PhD student at Stanford University called PageRank. The basic idea is that web pages get ranked more highly for a particular search term if they are more linked to by other pages on the web.
Through my use of Google over the years, I've come to trust that their PageRank algorithm is correctly ranking pages by trustworthiness. It is not perhaps because I am consciously thinking that all those votes from all those different web users mean that everyone has agreed that the Wikipedia page for eLearning is very trustworthy. It's just that from my own experience, I trust Google to serve up the goods.
So we see several layers of trust have been established here; but perhaps only one really counts in the end, our faith in Google. That trust is underpinned by the human editing power of Wikipedia and the human linking power of other web page authors who link to the Wikipedia page.
Learning in the Social Web
The web is now a complex mixture of search algorithms that reflect human 'voting' and actual human editing and linking. The way we learn online is dependent on these linkages and we are contributing to them all the time as we use the social web.

A Great Guide is Everything!
Had the great opportunity today to get out and play "tourist." We woke to an Bermuda downpour of biblical proportions which, by the time we were finished breakie became a delightful day. Now Bermuda is this small island, 22miles by 1 mile but within that is packed nothing but really cool, gorgeous, quaint and spectacular land! We didn't know it at the time, but the driver the Rosewood sent to pick us up at the airport would not only become our guide for the day, but now a good friend. Myron is this marvelous historian (and you know how I love history trivia) born and raised on Bermuda. And everyone on the island seems to know him so we are receiving the VIP treatment! Well, we started talking about the Shell Slate roofs that dominate the architecture of Bermuda and Myron wanted me to see the inside of one of the original structures using this material. Well, coming out, the light was great so I had to take his photo. This is a simple click with D4 / 18-35AFS of our new BBB (Best Bermuda Bud).
