One characteristic of the modern world is the propensity to separate. We separate work from home, both of those from recreation, and the economy from the environment. More than anything, we separate faith from life. Faith, we are frequently told, can only be acceptable if kept in a private realm that touches nothing else.

What can God and nature have had in mind when they designed the aging process? Why is it that just when our mental prowess, our human maturity, and our emotional freedom are at their peak, the body begins to fall apart?
The first of our readings for this Sunday's Mass consists of Isaiah's heady account of a visionary meeting with the Lord sitting in majesty, sumptuously arrayed, attended by seraphs, six winged – a rich experience. I like it a lot.
The Year of Faith, declared by Pope Benedict is a "summons to an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the One Saviour of the world" (Porta Fidei 6).
St. Paul famously tells the Corinthians that there are "three things that last: faith, hope, and love." At this Pauline prompt, the Christian tradition has identified these three as the "theological" virtues, meaning those features that come as a unique gift from God and that serve as the structuring elements of a properly spiritual life.
It's a grismal way to start the day. But it must be done. Each and every morning I go through the newspaper obituaries searching for any priests or nuns who might have died. Should one be on their way to heaven, a story might be done based on their religious life.
Two important anniversaries. Two famous lives.
Twenty five years ago, on Jan. 28, 1988, the Supreme Court handed down the Morgentaler decision, ruling that Canada's then rather permissive abortion law was unconstitutional.
Pope Benedict, to his credit, repeatedly challenges the old canard that religious divisions are a primary source of societal violence. Most recently, the pope told diplomats accredited to the Holy See that true religion reconciles men and women with God.
In virtually all of his novels, Milan Kundera manifests a strong impatience with every kind of ideology, hype or fad that makes for group think or crowd hysteria. He is suspicious of slogans, demonstrations and marches of all kinds, no matter the cause. He calls all these the great march and, to his mind, they invariably lead to violence, all of them. Kundera likes artists because they tend to steer clear of causes, wanting to paint or write rather than march.
All of us have a dream. It may be covered by our losses and disappointments but it is there. It is a dream of freedom and love. A dream of making a real contribution to humanity. A dream of friendship, community and sharing life.

As the second-largest employer in San Francisco and fifth-largest in the nine-county Bay Area, UCSF's impact in the local and regional communities is huge – positively contributing to the health of the people and the economy.
With the vitality from its growing campus at Mission Bay, UCSF plays a major role as a $3.3 billion economic driver, creating thousands of jobs in San Francisco in construction alone.
In 2010, UCSF released an economic impact report that shows how the University benefits the entire San Francisco Bay Area, generating more than 39,000 jobs and producing an estimated $6.2 billion economic impact when including operations, construction, salaries, and local purchases by employees, students and visitors. For more on the economic impact, visit the Economic Impact Report website.
One of the educational programs with the broadest impact in the community is the Science & Health Education Partnership (SEP), a collaboration with the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). Initiated in 1987, SEP enables UCSF scientists and educators to work with the SFUSD to support quality science education. Each year, more than 300 UCSF participants contribute about 10,000 hours of service, and work with more than 400 SFUSD teachers representing more than 90 percent of the K-12 public schools in San Francisco.
And as an internationally renowned health sciences university, UCSF's tremendous accomplishments and contributions have transformed health and health care in the global community in areas including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and tobacco, to name just a few.
UCSF Mission Bay features a state-of-the-art fitness center that is open to the public offering three floors of activities, a full-sized gymnasium and indoor and rooftop swimming pools.
UCSF's reach goes well beyond US borders, primarily through UCSF Global Health Sciences, which works with partners in countries throughout the world to improve health and reduce the burden of disease in the world's most vulnerable populations. Established in 2003, Global Health Sciences involves an innovative team of educators, researchers and health care professionals working around the world to train global health leaders and build sustainable solutions to improve health and eliminate disease. For a look at Global Health Sciences' growing number of international partnerships, see this map.

"I'll confess, I was one of those - this was a long time ago now - one of those that thought well, World War I was a long time ago, it was about trench warfare, who cares? World War II is a lot more relevant. In fact, that is exactly wrong," said Gen. Richard Myers, the retired 15th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Myers, keynote speaker at the Borah Symposium Wednesday night at the University of Idaho Student Union Building, served over 40 years in the Air Force. As chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the four-star general was the principal military adviser to President George W. Bush during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Myers said WWI has affected the way we live and the way we act. It provided lessons for today.
"I don't think you can overstate how important it has been to our development as a country, to our involvement in the world," he said. "It is quite a remarkable period."
Myers said we can look at the impacts of WWI from a geopolitical sense, understanding the way it impacted nationalism, economic imperialism and diplomacy.
He said women's suffrage was spurred by WWI, as women went to factories to replace the men out on duty. Many women found they could do the jobs men did. Myers said WWI was responsible for the undoing of classes because "all classes suffered and when you all suffer you are all more alike."
He related the war to modern fashion and the evolution of the Burberry trenchcoat worn by British officers in the trenches. On the side of the coat were little brass rings that they would hang their grenades on, a feature that is still there today.
"I do not have one; I will buy one," he said.
We use common language that comes directly from WWI, such as "in the trenches" and "over the top," which meant coming out of the trenches and entering no-man's land, Myers said.
Myers told the story of WWI and the effect it had on the globe through the eyes of George C. Marshall, the third U.S. Secretary of Defense, Chief of Staff of the Army and Secretary of State in the early 1900s and "one of the greatest public servants, ever."
Myers said when WWI started, the Navy was relatively prepared and the Army was not prepared at all. He said that was similar to the situation we had entering Iraq in 2002-03.
On Nov. 18, 1918, Marshall was quoted as saying instead of 500 tanks, they had 18. Almost 100 years before Iraq, Marshall was making the same observations that our forces were not prepared for what they were entering, and we paid for it with lives, limbs and an inability to properly train, Myers said.
"Thinking about how Congress is looking at the military today and I am wondering if they understand what preparedness means," Myers said.
"If you have to go unprepared you will take more casualties and more civilian lives," Myers said. "If you want to think about preserving peace, then strength is important and that is more than having numbers - you have to be prepared."
Myers said as a general the main laws of war he dealt with had to do with making sure those who were not combatants - civilians and civilian property - were not harmed during military activity.
He said they wrestled with the military necessity of a target, the distinction between combatant and non-combatant and proportionality - if striking a bridge means 10,000 civilian lives would lost, it might not be deemed a military objective because the outcome is not proportionate to the civilian deaths, he said.
He said WWI was horrific in terms of deaths. In WWII there were a lot of incidents such as fire bombs in Germany and Japan that would not pass muster today, and in the Korean war we bombed dams, which we would not do anymore.
"War is never going to be humane - it is just not - but we can certainly, hopefully, control the involvement of noncombatants and that is the whole logic," Myers said.

With the win, the Thunder (32-10) took the lead in the Northwest Division from the Blazers (31-11).
Oklahoma City trailed 95-90 with about three minute left, but Durant caught fire and made a trio of three-pointers during a 15-0 Thunder run.
LaMarcus Aldridge paced Portland with 29 points and 16 rebounds. Wesley Matthews added 21 points on 7-for-15 shooting.

Heat 93, Celtics 86
Playing a third consecutive game without guard Dwyane Wade (knee soreness), LeBron James led the way with 29 points as the Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics.
The Heat scored the last nine points of the game to earn the win and improve to 30-12, good for second place in the Eastern Conference.
It was a much needed win for the Heat, who entered Tuesday's contest having won just two of their previous six games.
The Celtics (14-29) lost their 10th straight road game and also suffered injuries to Avery Bradley and Brandon Bass.
Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo, in just his third game back after missing a year due to a knee injury, finished with one point and five assists. He missed all eight of his field goal attempts.

Jazz 112, Timberwolves 97
Kevin Love flirted with a triple-double with 19 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists as Minnesota routed the Jazz for the second time in four nights.
On Saturday, the Timberwolves blew out Utah by 26 points.
In the rematch, Utah's Gordon Hayward finished with a game-high 27 points with five rebounds and five assists in his first game in two weeks after being sidelined with a left hip flexor.
Utah (14-29), however, only had two other players in double figures.
Corey Brewer added 19 for the Wolves who also got 11 points and 13 assists from Ricky Rubio.
- - -
Kings 114, Pelicans 97
Rudy Gay matched his career high with 41 points, including five of eight from three-point range, to lift the Sacramento Kings to a victory over the New Orleans Pelicans.
Gay made 16 of 25 shots and also added a 30-footer at the buzzer to end the third quarter with a 91-70 Sacramento lead.
Isaiah Thomas added 20 points and 11 assists and center DeMarcus Cousins had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Kings (15-25).
The Pelicans, who snapped an eight-game losing streak with a road win against Memphis on Monday, fell to 16-25. They got 17 points from guard Tyreke Evans.
- - -
Nets 101, Magic 90
The Brooklyn Nets continue their red-hot month with a victory over the Orlando Magic.
Andray Blatch led the Nets with 18 points, Joe Johnson and Paul Pierce each added 13 points as Brooklyn improved to an NBA-best 8-1 in January.
While the Magic proved pesky in the first half, the Nets (18-22) outscored Orlando 27-14 in the third quarter to build a double-digit lead.
Kyle O'Quinn led Orlando (11-31) with 15 points and eight rebounds.

According to Twopchart the number of Twitter accounts is now up to 465 million registered accounts and it will hit the 500 million landmark on Febraury 25th.
That's around nine months after it passed the 300 million mark in May of last year.
The milestone for Twitter will come ahead, but not by far of Facebook hitting one billion users in the Summer. The social media numbers are getting seriously large.
Twitter passed the 400 million mark in the early autumn and as you might expect that growth has been accelerating. Twitter has effectively grown by more than 65 million accounts since autumn and Twitter wants that to continue as it tries to reach to consumers.
Not a surprise really. Social media itself is growing rapidly as more and more people read about it and jump on in for themselves. People of all shapes and sizes like Rupert Murdoch, for instance, who has been making a rather large splash since he signed up to Twitter on December 31. He was very splashy over the weekend with his Google pirate tweets.
Although it is worth keeping this in perspective as while Twitter will hit 500 million accounts, that is people who have signed up, that many of those accounts are in active or not tweeting (although many do use Twitter to monitor and listen rather than talk).
In October Twitter told us that while it might have around 400 million registrations it only had 100 million active users, according to CEO Dick Costolo.
It also has to be remembered that the 500 million Twitter accounts figure will also include armies of spots and spammers. No one knows how many of those are out there, but it feels like a lot.
However, Costolo did also say at the time the number of global active user numbers had grown tremendously in 2011 as logins per day surged: "We had 30% of our monthly active users login in every day at the beginning of the year. Now it's over 50%," Costolo said.
Spammers aside this is a big moment for Twitter and it is safe to say that by the end of the year its total user numbers will close on 750 million giving it a billion uses sometime in 2013.

"Cop Out" Co-Screenwriter Mark Cullen Breaks Down Opening Scene
No matter their opinion on the rest of the film, movie trivia fans will likely get a kick out of the opening scene of Kevin Smith's comedy "Cop Out." The film stars Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan as a pair of NYPD cops, and in the opener, Morgan's character, Paul Hodges, is interrogating a suspect at the police station as his partner watches from behind one-way glass. To intimidate said suspect, Paul yells catchphrases from a score of different movies, ranging from the plausible ("Scarface") to the head-scratching ("Jaws," "Beetlejuice") to the meta ("Die Hard," which starred Willis).
Co-screenwriter Mark Cullen, who wrote the script with his brother Robb, said that the "Die Hard" reference was Morgan's improvisation, but that 95% of the opener was actually scripted. The scene was also tweaked during reshoots for the film. Cullen explained that in the original script, the two cops were just riffing in a diner, but after test screenings, they were told by the studio to make the scene more "dynamic" and the current scene, which is a wink to the genre, is what they came up with.
Smith also welcomed the screenwriters — who cast Smith in their 2007 Showtime TV pilot "Manchild" — onto the set. "He told us, this is the first film I'm directing that I didn't write, so I want you two to be near the production," said Cullen. "Cop Out" was also a first for the brothers; after ten years as television showrunners, the film — which was originally set up at Gold Circle Films with Robin Williams set to star — is their first feature film credit.
"One of the best jobs in the world is being a TV showrunner — it's next to being king in TV, whereas being a writer on a movie is one step removed from the janitor," said Cullen. "The nice thing about this film is that Kevin wanted us there and it was a collaborative set."

Definition of zilch in English:
- As an added bonus, since I know absolutely zilch about Bob Fosse, I could not take serious issue with the choreography like the obnoxious couple sitting next to me.
- I simply wanted to point out my lack of experience, i.e. zilch and zero, of attending major rock concerts.
- I can offer zilch in the way of information about Allawi himself.
- But I sure don't play rugby just for the money and if I was paid zilch I would still be the first one out at training.
1960s: origin uncertain; perhaps from a Mr Zilch, a character in the 1930s US humorous magazine Ballyhoo.
zip from mid 19th century:
As a name for a fastener, zip dates from the 1920s. The idea of speed was already present in a 19th-century use representing the sound of something moving through the air rapidly. Zoom appears at the same time with the same sense. In the USA zip also means 'nothing, nil, zero'. This appeared in print in 1900, much earlier than the similar zilch, the first clear example of which dates from the mid 1960s, though Mr Zilch had been used as an indefinite name 30 or more years before. The US zip code, a postal code consisting of five or nine digits, is unrelated, being short for Zone Improvement Plan.

2012 Olympic Profile: Weightlifter Jang Mi-ran
As the 2012 London Olympics nears, let's meet some of the South Korea's promising athletes.
Jang Mi-ran
Event: Weightlifting
Birthday: October 9, 1983
Jang Mi-ran was a gold medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, completing the weightlifting 'grand slam' after winning four world championship titles and one Asian Games gold medal.
In Beijing, Ms. Jang set three new world records; in the snatch with 140 kg, in the clean and jerk with 186 kg, and a combined 326 kg. Current world champion Tatiana Kashirina from Russia and China's Zhou Lulu have since overhauled two of those records and will be Ms. Jang's stiffest competitors in London.
Despite whispers that Ms. Jang is in the twilight of her career, she has stopped short of saying London will be her last appearance.
Words to remember:
"The color of the medal doesn't matter."
"My goal at the London Olympics is to set a new record." "People call me a defending champion, but I am actually a challenger."

First amatuer HD video from the edge of space!
Check THIS out!
The balloon and camera were launched at 7:44 AM, the balloon burst at 10:51 AM at 107,145 ft. and the camera landed via parachute at 11:40 AM, 89 miles from the launch site after a 3 hr. & 56 min. flight. The camera recorded a total of 4 hrs. & 22 min. of Hi-Def Video before it stopped recording 53 secs after landing, when its 32GB of memory was full. The only thing better would have been if the camera had recorded for several minutes more to captured the sound of us approaching and video of us opening its container.
It's amazing what you can get up to with the technology we have today... 40 years ago, this would have cost tens of thousands of dollars to accomplish! We are truly living in the future.
Here's a truncated version of the video with all the high points of the voyage:
Just plain cool.

Incoming Cal freshman Missy Franklin won two titles Wednesday night at the U.S. national swimming championships in Indianapolis.
Her time of 1 minute, 55.63 seconds in the 200-meter freestyle was 0.08 seconds off the world's best this season. The Olympic champion and world-record holder in the 200 backstroke then set a U.S. Open record in that race at 2:05.68, the world's best time this season. Cal's Elizabeth Pelton was second in 2:06.29 -- the second-fastest time of the year.
"That hurt a lot, but I love doing the double," said Franklin, who won the 100 freestyle on opening night Tuesday.
Also, Stanford's Felicia Lee was fourth in the 50 butterfly in 26.54 seconds.
Olympian Ryan Lochte won the men's 200 freestyle in 1:45.97 and 200 backstroke in 1:55.16.
Former Cardinal Eugene Goodson took the 50 butterfly in 23.29, while ex-Stanford star BJ Johnson was second in the 200 breaststroke in 2:10.09.
Cal League
Will Swanner hit a two-run home run with two outs in the top of the ninth inning to lift the Modesto Nuts to a 4-3 victory over the San Jose Giants at Municipal Stadium.
Mac Williamson's three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth had given the Giants a 3-2 lead.
The Giants were swept in a three-game series for the first time this season and have lost four in a row for the first time this year. The Nuts have won seven in a row to open the second half.
The Giants continue their homestand Thursday night with the opener of a four-game series against the Stockton Ports.
Jedd Soto, who took a medical leave of absence 12 games into the Saint Mary's baseball season this spring, resigned after 10 seasons as coach, the school announced. "It is with a heavy heart that I am resigning due to unforeseen circumstances this spring," Soto, 39, said in a statement. No reason was given for his departure. He compiled a 209-275-3 record.

TULSA, Okla. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's golf team wrapped up its second tournament of the fall with a ninth place finish at the Bob Hurley ORU Shootout at Meadowbrook Country Club. Nikki Dunn led the way with an 11th-place result for the Islanders, shooting a 230 (78-77-75).
Just like Dunn, the Islanders improved every round of the event, finishing with a 314 in the final 18 holes to finish with a 953 (321-318-314). Redlands CC (305-312-304—921) took the team title, rallying past Arkansas State (316-296-311—928). Lamar (317-305-306—928) led the Southland schools at the event with a fourth-place finish, besting fifth-place Sam Houston State (312-315-309—936) by eight shots. Stephen F. Austin (329-332-346—1007) finished 14th at the event.
Dunn missed a top-10 finish by just a single stroke, as Lamar's Katelyn McDougal and UTEP's Teresa Nogues tied for ninth with a 229. Oklahoma City's Jessica Schiele took the individual title with a three-round 223.
"I'm glad that we were able to improve our performance each round," head coach Carol Blackmar said, "but I know that we are capable of more than we showed this weekend. It was great to see such a strong performance out of Nikki after a disappointing first tournament.
"I was also really pleased with Lindsay Biehler – she has been working hard on her mental toughness and it really showed today when she bounced back to finish par-par," she added. "If we can get all our players rolling at once, I know we can contend for a Southland title."
Ryann White shot a 78 in the final round to finish with a 238 (85-75-78) for the tournament. Biehler delivered a 79 in Tuesday's action to post a 239 (81-79-79) in the event. Krista Fenniak (77-87-82—246) and Cristina Reynoso (88-87-82—257) rounded out the action for the Islanders.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi returns to action next weekend at the Harold Funston Tournament, hosted by Sam Houston State in Huntsville. The Islanders will play 36 holes on Monday, Oct. 10, and 18 on Tuesday, Oct. 11, at the event.

From Adviser Guide:
Auto-Enrolment 1hr
Q: What role is there for financial advisers?
Over the next few years employers in the UK will need to get to grips with their employer duties.
Nest is not able to give financial advice, so Graham Vidler, director of communications and engagement at the organisation, said depending on how members approach Nest it would signpost them for advice to unbiased.co.uk or in some circumstances to the Money Advice Service.
To find out how Nest can help advisers and their clients, Mr Vidler said email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 0300 3031949.
Mr Vidler said there were a few reasons why Nest could work well for advisers and their clients:
1) Nest is an easy-to-use scheme that any UK employer can choose to meet their employer duties.
It can either be used on its own or alongside an existing pension scheme an employer may have.
2) Nest makes it easy for employers to delegate access to an adviser to manage the scheme on their behalf.
3) Nest is fully up and running and working with employers large and small.
4) Nest makes it simpler for employers by communicating in clear, plain language that helps to make pension saving easier to understand.
5) Nest's straightforward communications also mean employers are less likely to spend time dealing with questions from their workers.
6) Nest is a low-cost scheme.
Andrew Towner, director of employee benefits at Cartlidge Morland, said as pension provision can seem very complicated, financial advisers will have a significant role in ensuring understanding by an individual of their pension arrangements and choices, so that suitable financial planning can take place.
Steve Wood, a senior consultant for Helm Godfrey, said it is a highly complicated area and unless an adviser is an expert in corporate pensions, employee benefits and auto-enrolment, the best advice they could offer might be to refer their client to a specialist in the sector.
Some employers may also offer employees the services of a financial adviser when it comes to automatic enrolment as part of a review of their financial affairs.
Mr Wood said: "Encouraging corporate clients to do this could result in a business opportunity for advisers to pick up new clients from their corporate client's workforce."

The Echoes of Earth Science
- Created: Sunday, 01 January 2006
NASA's Earth
Observing System Data and Information System
(EOSDIS) acquires, archives, and manages data from
of NASA's
Earth science satellites, for the benefit of
the Space Agency and for the benefit of others,
local governments, first responders, the
commercial remote
sensing industry, teachers, museums, and the
general public.
EOSDIS is currently handling an extraordinary
amount of
NASA scientific data. To give an idea of the
volume of
information it receives, NASA's Terra Earth-observing
satellite, just one of many NASA satellites
sending down
data, sends it hundreds of gigabytes a day,
almost as
much data as the Hubble
Space Telescope acquires in an
entire year, or about equal to the amount of
that could be found in hundreds of pickup trucks
with books.
To make EOSDIS data completely accessible to the
science community, NASA teamed up with private
in 2000 to develop an Earth science "marketplace"
that lets public users quickly drill down to the
information they need. It also enables them to
their research and resources alongside of NASA's
and resources. This registry is known as the Earth
Observing System ClearingHOuse, or ECHO.
The charter for this project focused on having an infrastructure completely independent from EOSDIS that would allow for more contributors and open up additional data access options. Accordingly, it is only fitting that the term ECHO is more than just an acronym; it represents the functionality of the system in that it can echo out and create interoperability among other systems, all while maturing with time as industry technologies and standards change and improve.
In streamlining the public access path to Earth science
data and materials culled by EOSDIS, NASA's Goddard
Space Flight Center joined ranks with Global
Science & Technology,
Inc., a science, engineering, and information
company serving Federal and corporate clients,
and Blueprint
Technologies, Inc., formerly a woman-owned, small
specialist in providing architecture-based
solutions that
was recently acquired by Pearson
Government Solutions, Inc. (The company is
now recognized as Pearson Blueprint
Technologies, Inc.)
From 2000 to 2002, Goddard worked with Global Science & Technology (the prime contractor on the project) and Blueprint Technologies (the subcontractor) to develop the ECHO registry platform. A public version was released in November 2002. Feedback from early adopters on this initial operational system led to a new set of enhancements, considering the data access needs and expectations of America's Earth science ring were changing before its very eyes. The development team refined the original version to expand the capabilities offered to the community.
The expansion of the project took place through 2004, with a strong emphasis on data collection. By 2005—and several software versions later—a much-improved ECHO service registry was in place, complete with more than 60 million pieces of Earth science metadata and customized client interfaces for improved searching capabilities. Furthermore, this metadata registry allowed users to publish and exchange their services, algorithms, and models.
Product Outcome
Today, the Earth science solution developed in
part by
NASA and for NASA is fully live and operational
as ECHO
version 8.0. The public registry is officially a
brokering system that enables information and
sharing that ultimately leads to improvements in
and analysis, as well as copious societal
benefits. For
example, local governments can use ECHO 8.0 to
make key
decisions about adverse weather conditions facing
regions, such as floods and hurricanes. Having
to the latest satellite imagery via ECHO can give
a leg up in taking any precautions they can to
fully prepared.
"ECHO poses an exciting example of how technology can be used to solve real-world challenges and create important foundations of change for generations to come," said Jeanne O'Kelley, general manager of Pearson Blueprint Technologies. "Indeed, what makes this particularly relevant is the use of Web-services technology that can be applied not only within the geospatial realm, but across numerous sectors—including homeland security—making any set of data easier to record, access, and share."
Version 8.0 provides a mechanism of interoperability between
organizations who offer Earth observation data
and independent
organizations who offer tools, algorithms, and
that utilize this data, essentially serving as
between data and client partners. With this
feature, Earth
scientists have a basic infrastructure to
leverage resources
from global partners and, hence, build dynamic
"The future of a global exchange of Earth-observing resources allows for effective use of the resources for current science applications and enables future innovation in putting together these data, algorithms, models, and other services in new and unintended ways," said Pearson Blueprint Technologies' Michael Burnett, the lead ECHO architect. "ECHO is built as infrastructure for a service-oriented enterprise, the future of enterprise-level exchange in many domains, including that of Earth observation."
In order to retrieve data stored in ECHO, a user can search for specific metadata using keywords or certain spatial or temporal parameters. In performing a spatial search, for instance, a user can enter geographic parameters, such as the name of a state or an exact latitudinal/longitudinal location. The search will then generate a set of results for access within the user's application.
Because ECHO is a Web-brokering system, the user can order information in a manner similar to how he or she would go about purchasing items from traditional online retailers. The user can simply add any data items of interest to a personal online shopping cart and then proceed to checkout. If the data items retrieved by the ECHO-generated report are not of any interest to the user, he or she can then initiate a new search based on new keywords or parameters.
With Web-based services continuing to expand and reaching new users as a result, the developers of ECHO anticipate that publicly available Earth science data will proliferate for tomorrow's Earth science generation, all because of the synergy between today's data contributors and customers.

Does George Clooney Have the Range to Play a Road Warrior?
Some of the members of Flyertalk are buzzing about the possibility that George Clooney might end up playing a member of their tribe in an upcoming flick.
According to the Hollywood Reporter:
Clooney is in talks to star in "Up in the Air," an adaptation of the 2001 Walter Kirn novel, with Oscar-nominated "Juno" director Jason Reitman behind the camera.
The Oscar-winning actor will inhabit an unapologetic corporate downsizer whose untethered life is consumed by collecting air miles.
It's hard to say whether Clooney would be a good fit for the main character — Ryan Bingham — or not. Maybe the bearded, slightly lumpy look he assumed to play a former CIA agent in "Syriana" could also work for a perpetually traveling corporate road warrior.
Still, I wonder whether tapping into the heart of darkness among business travelers is too much of an emotional stretch for a guy whose travel life is likely more centered on private jets and speed-boat jaunts near his estate on Italy's Lake Como.
But if not Clooney, then who? When looking for an everyman, I always opt for Ernest Borgnine, a character actor you can set your watch to. (Mostly, because I've always liked his name.) But at 91 years old, Mr. Borgnine might be a bit too experienced for this role. (Although he does provide the voice for Mermaid Man on the popular kids cartoon show "Sponge Bob Square-Pants.") Ed Norton's work as a business traveler in "Fight Club" would seem to recommend him for the role, if he were up for it. Any other ideas?

Quentin Blake's handwriting typeface MAR 09 2016
If you've read a book like Danny the Champion of the World or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you have seen the work of illustrator Quentin Blake.
Type foundry Monotype have created a typeface from Blake's distinctive handwriting. Each letter has four variants so the text looks more random, like actual handwriting:

A major check forgery operation has been uncovered in Jackson, police said Tuesday.
Three men were arrested late Tuesday, police said.
Police said one of the suspects tried to cash a stolen check for $469 at the Bank Plus on Terry Road Tuesday.
When detectives caught him, they said he took them to a home on Nimitz Street and Pyle Avenue, where more evidence was found.
Police said the man confessed to breaking into a Raymond car lot.
They recovered several keys to cars, car titles, a safe containing $4,000 in cash and an air compressor.
Anthony Brown was arrested by the Jackson Police Department and charged with check fraud, authorities said.
After serving a search warrant at the house on Nimitz Street, the Hinds County Sheriff's Department arrested two other men who were inside the house, authorities said. Their names and the charges, if any, they may face have not been released.

Vt. college using wind turbines to collect data
Dorm to house 4 micro-turbines
Published 11:04 AM EDT Sep 06, 2013
Castleton College in Vermont has set up four micro wind turbines on campus.
The college built its newest dormitory, Hoff Hall, with solar panels on the roof. The turbines, at 3 feet in diameter, are joining them in generating power.
Vermont Public Radio reports the college is working with JLM Energy of Rocklin, Calif., which is planning to gather data on how its equipment works in colder climates.

Pushed to the culture margins, jazz is lurking, sprouting new shoots, preparing to break out and grab its audience anew. That's my hopeful prediction. Meanwhile, here are 20 CD recommendations from 2011 -- essential listening, as I see it. Mostly new things here, along with a few reissues.
Bruce Barth: "Live at Smalls" (smallsLIVE). Recorded at the basement club in Greenwich Village, this disc captures pianist Barth and his scrappy trio in front of a simpatico audience. The group is wailing; you can feel the atoms vibrating in the air.
Dan Blake: "The Aquarian Suite" (BJU). Echoes of Max, Mingus and Ornette: a legacy of great piano-less quartets, now extended into the new century by this sensational tenor saxophonist and his smart, rock-hard band, featuring Boston-based trumpeter Jason Palmer.
James Carter: "Caribbean Rhapsody" (EmArcy). With his teeming virtuosity -- tender, then blustery; splintering, yet deadly precise -- Carter dances through composer Roberto Sierra's luminous Concerto for Saxophone and Orchestra.
The Cookers: "Cast the First Stone" (Plus Loin). This all-star unit brings together champion players -- scene shakers since the '60s and '70s. We're talking about saxophonists Billy Harper and Azar Lawrence, trumpeter Eddie Henderson, pianist George Cables, bassist Cecil McBee and drummer Billy Hart. Potent.
Miles Davis: "Live in Europe 1967, the Bootleg Series Vol. 1" (Columbia Legacy). An astonishing 3-CD set of live performances (it includes a DVD, too) by the trumpeter with Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter and Tony Williams, the seminal '60s quintet. It hits likes something brand new.
Deep Blue Organ Trio: "Wonderful!" (Origin). An in-the-pocket B-3 trio from Chicago (featuring guitarist Bobby Broom) hits the sweet spot with this collection of Stevie Wonder tunes. Groan with pleasure.
Bill Frisell: "All We Are Saying" (Savoy Jazz). The guitarist covers 16 John Lennon tunes, channeling them through folksy Americana roots-rock and jazz (sort of), with Kenny Wolleson smacking away on drums. A pure-love tribute, from "Please Please Me" to "Beautiful Boy."
Darren Johnston's Gone to Chicago: "The Big Lift" (Porto Franco). The Bay-based trumpeter's latest project comes coiling out of the '60s world of Malachi Favors, Grachan Moncur, Archie Shepp and other heroes. Turbulent, hard-edged, big-hearted.
Gilad Hekselman: "Hearts Wide Open" (Chant du Monde). A slow burn from the young Israeli guitarist, who keeps pitching wood chips into the coals as the band plies his alluring tunes. With saxophonist Mark Turner, bassist Joe Martin and wing-tipped drummer Marcus Gilmore.
Robert Hurst: "Unrehurst, Volume 2" (Bebob). Recorded at Smoke, the Manhattan club, the veteran bassist's trio pulls you straight down into its beautiful vortex. Hurst is joined by pianist Robert Glasper and drummer Chris Dave, two of the more fantastic and elastic new-breed players.
Abdullah Ibrahim & Ekaya: "Sotho Blue" (Sunnyside). South African street chants and hymns, evocations of Ellington, deep balladry from the pianist-composer.
Christian McBride: "Conversations" (Mack Avenue). The world's greatest bass player plays duets with Hargrove, Corea, Sting, Angela Kidjo and others. "Spiritual" with the late Billy Taylor may be the best of the batch.
David Murray: "Octets" (Black Saint/Soul Note). Five of the saxophonist's fantastically ragged, swinging and roots-conscious octet dates are collected in this box set: "Ming," "Home," "Murray's Steps," etc. Classics. Part of a much-needed Black Saint/Soul Note reissue campaign by the Italian CAM Jazz Group.
Sonny Rollins: "Road Shows Vol. 2" (Doxy). So here we are listening to selections from Sonny's 80th birthday concert last year at New York's Beacon Theatre -- and out walks Ornette Coleman. What happens is messy and a total blast, a meeting of unpredictable giants.
Tyshawn Sorey: "Oblique - 1" (Pi). Virtuosity as adventure. The young monster drummer and his band step beyond their influences: Braxton, Threadgill and M-Base.
Helen Sung: "(re)Conception" (SteepleChase). She builds "You Got It Bad Girl" into Frank Loesser's "I Believe in You." She swings like a demon through warm standards (not the usual ones) with primo rhythm-mates Peter Washington (bass) and Lewis Nash (drums).
Charles Tolliver Big Band (Mosaic Select). This 3-CD set includes the trumpeter's first big-band album, one of the most exciting jazz recordings of the last 40-plus years. Originally titled "Music Inc." and recorded in 1970 for the musician-run Strata-East label, it captures jazz at a moment when its street credibility still ran high. Tolliver floats and jabs like Muhammad Ali, knocking you out with his soul.
Trio Dolce Vita: "Amar- cord" (Jazzwerkstatt). An elegant and mischievous reworking of Nino Rota tunes, performed by a Swiss-German trio: Claudio Puntin (clarinet, bass clarinet, glockenspiel), Jorg Brinkmann (cello, electronics), Johannes Fink (bass). If you love Fellini ...
David Weiss & Point of Departure: "Snuck Out" (Sunnyside). The trumpeter resurrects lesser-known '60s tunes by Charles Tolliver, Wayne Shorter and others. His quintet features tenor saxophonist J.D. Allen, who lathes a couple of outrageous solos; if you don't know him, he will become a favorite.
Miguel Zenon: "Alma Adentro/The Puerto Rican Songbook" (Marsalis Music). The most gorgeously fluid alto saxophonist to come along in a while, Zenon is our Cannonball Adderley. This album is state-of-the-art romanticism, with an edge.
On another day, I might have picked 20 others: Fabian Almazan: "Personalities" (Biophilia); Ambrose Akinmusire: "When the Heart Emerges Glistening" (Blue Note); Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke, Lenny White: "Forever" (Concord); Eliane Elias: "Light My Fire" (Concord); Amir ElSaffar: "Inana" (Pi); Art Hirahara: "Noble Path" (Posi-Tone); Joshua Redman, Aaron Parks, Matt Penman, Eric Harland: "James Farm" (Nonesuch); Ben Kono: "Crossing" (Nineteen-Eight); Jeff Lederer: "Sunwatcher" (Jazzheads); Charles Lloyd and Maria Farantouri: "Athens Concert" (ECM); Lisa Mezzacappa & Nightshade: "Cosmic Rift" (Leo); Orchestre National de Jazz: "Around Robert Wyatt" (Bee Jazz); Gretchen Parlato: "The Lost and Found" (Obliq Sound); Ed Reed: "Born to Be Blue" (Blue Shorts); Alfredo Rodriguez: "Sounds of Space" (Qwest); Craig Taborn: "Avenging Angel/Piano Solo" (ECM); 3 Cohens (Anat, Avishai and Yuval Cohen): "Family" (Anzic); Jeff Williams: "Another Time" (Whirlwind); Anthony Wilson: "Seasons/Live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art" (Goat Hill); Sam Yahel: "From Sun to Sun" (Origin)

Spanish Fashion Hits The Tents
There's more to Spanish fashion than Balenciaga and Oscar de la Renta. Asociación Creadores de Moda de España, or ACME (the Spanish equivalent of Council of Fashion Designers of America), is kicking off a campaign promoting Spanish designers. First stop, the fashion week tents in Bryant Park.
Ana Locking, Carmen March, Juan Duyos and Juanjo Oliva will show their Spring 2010 collections via film installation Sunday afternoon at the Celeste Bartos Forum. Presented in a four-way, split-screen format, the installation was directed by Nicolàs Mèndez, known for his music-video work.
"It's the only way we could really work together," says Carmen March, noting the designers' "very different visions." March, who usually works in couture, is presenting her third prêt-a-porter collection. Her surf-inspired pieces are meant to reflect late summer in her native Majorca — one dress is structured like a particularly elegant Neoprene wetsuit.
Juanjo Oliva's collection remakes mid-century silhouettes in African prints. Juan Duyos also looks to the '50s and '60s for his designs, but with original prints from the American tropical tiki craze. Ana Locking's structured garments mix materials like latex and organza in burnt red and orange. The palette is a departure from her favorite black, she says, because the world needs more energy and pomp during this economic funk. "We need to enjoy fashion once again," Locking says. Appropriately, she's named her collection "Antidote."
Other Spanish notables, including Oscar de la Renta, the Spanish minister of culture and the president of ACME, will be on hand for a press conference about other ACME initiatives Saturday at the Queen Sofia Institute.

News 12 This Morning/Friday, April 18, 2014
(WRDW) -- Just over a year ago, Marie Gunter, 1st grade teacher at W.S. Hornsby Elementary, went out into the community asking for help to take her students out of the classroom and into the sunshine.
"I went literally door to door through our community and asked people to donate dirt and donate wood and donate their time," Gunter said.
That's how the W.S. Hornsby K-8 community garden was born where the entire school helps foster five garden beds.
"Pretty much all classes do come out especially when they're studying a certain unit," Gunter said. "What they're learning they can use. And that's one thing that we're looking to do is to arm them with some marketable skills."
And this garden isn't only used for teaching purposes.
This year they're growing potatoes, carrots, corn, beans and various other food staples and once they're ready, the class harvests them to give back to the community.
"Even though they love being out in the garden, the thing they love most is when the soup kitchen comes and they can give them the food," Gunter said.
Giving back is an issue she says--hits close to home.
"I had a student and he and his family just had a hard time finding enough food," Gunter said. "That's when I decided to make it my mission to start a garden here."
Now she and students at Horsnby are asking for the community's help again after the school's applied to win a $20,000 grant from national retailer, Seeds of Change.
"The top 50 institutions will go on to the final judging phase," Gunter said.
She says if they win they've got big plans for the cash.
"We want to offer summer garden camps to students in our area and then garden classes throughout the year," Gunter said. "Please vote for us! Please. We can't do this. The good that can come for our community cannot even be measured."
And that money will go toward more than just students at Hornsby.
They also plan to use the money to fund several community gardens across the area, and to bring in mobile app designers to help middle school students build an app that will allow students across the area to document their garden's growth.
Voting is opening until April 22. You can vote once a day online.
Just click the "Seeds of Change Grant" and search zip code 30901 to find Hornsby and vote.

The Peninsular Florida region encompasses most of Florida south of a line extending from Jacksonville to Steinhatchee on the Gulf Coast. At one time, Florida had nearly 20.4 million acres (8.22 million ha) of wetlands, of which some 9.7 million acres (3.9 million ha) were the type most valuable to waterfowl. Florida has lost millions of acres of wetlands, primarily to urbanization and agriculture. Wetlands in Florida have also been adversely affected by the introduction of several species of invasive exotic plants, such as water hyacinth. Nonetheless, Florida contains some wetland areas that serve as important migration and winter habitat in the Atlantic Flyway, nearly all of which are located within the peninsula.

It makes you a ( fill in the blank ).
Gotta give Jef credit for being one of the few cartoonists that actually gives his characters four fingers, rather than three. Probably compensatory behavior for his name having only one F.
@frumdebang And yet in panel three, Caulfield's left hand appears to have only four digits altogether!
I actually clean and work around my house on weekends. Otherewise I would go nuts just napping and watching TV.
Get some caffeine and sugar into yourself, 1012. I'm counting five digits.
I cringed as I read Caulfield's dialog in the third panel. I thought he was referring to Mrs. Olsen's mental health, and of how destroying it was his leisure activity. Turns out he was only saying something disrespectful about his mother. A relief!
Caufield understands his mom must have good mental health (pleased) with him or he gets no leisure time himself. A logical observation and not insulting in the least Bigpuma.
9000 – I don't know why it's been removed, but the "About Frazz" text, upper right, used to advise that all of the Frazz characters wear inflated latex gloves as some sort of comment on our modern society.* As I myself have the manual dexterity of a worm, I will give credit to anyone who can draw a recognizable human being, fat fingers or no.
*This is not technically true.
@frumdebang Egad! You're absolutely right! Pushing the glasses up a little higher made all the difference….
You mean Frazz not Caufield and his thumb is not visible as he is holding the cord and a thumb is necessary for the grip, otherwise the cord is just floating in that loop.
@Red Repoc No, I meant Caulfield, whose left hand is at Frazz's elbow. I really did mistake what I was seeing!
Ahh ok a miscount, I understand.
Looks like his mom is fine. My room was always spotless and in order. I didn't own anything and I was never home.
It's a logical observation to suggest that your mother is mentally ill just because she asks you to straighten up? I see.
Who knows if he means it, or if he's just using overstatement to give his complaint a sharper edge? Whatever he's up to, though, it's cheeky.
And you probably grew up to be a Republican, right?

In "Start or Sit," we make a call on players who merit strong starting consideration — and players who might be best on the bench. However, owners should tailor their own lineup strategy to their roster constraints, league rules and other relevant factors.
Here's our Week Six rundown:
Colts RB Vick Ballard (at N.Y. Jets) — Ballard, who's slated to make his first career start at the Jets on Sunday, is an acceptable "flex" play in bigger leagues. The Jets' run defense is allowing 172.4 yards and 1.6 TDs per game. Here is a waiver-wire pickup who immediately can be placed in certain lineups, given the matchup. This especially holds true if you are dealing with bye-week and/or injury-related issues. Ballard gets the call with Donald Brown (knee surgery) expected to miss 2-3 weeks, according to interim head coach Bruce Arians.
Giants RB Ahmad Bradshaw (at San Francisco) — He likely made many fantasy owners very, very happy with 200 yards rushing against Cleveland on Sunday. Now, he draws a tough San Francisco defense. Sit him? No, start him, I say. In his lone 2011 meeting against the Niners (in the NFC championship game), he ground out 126 yards on 26 total touches (20 carries, six catches). With so much at stake against such a strong defense, I would guess Bradshaw won't be getting much rest on Sunday.
Eagles TE Brent Celek (vs. Detroit) — The Lions have had some problems against tight ends. The 49ers' Vernon Davis caught a pair of touchdowns against Detroit in Week Two, and the Titans' Jared Cook scored a 61-yard TD on Detroit the following week. What's more, Cook's Tennessee position mate, Craig Stevens, also had a productive day (5-63-0). Celek's playmaking ability makes him an intriguing play in Week Six.
Buccaneers WR Vincent Jackson (vs. Kansas City) — The Chiefs, who have surrendered 10 TD passes, are one of only eight teams to have given up double-digit scores through the air entering Week Six. Jackson had at least 100 receiving yards and a TD in two of his final three games entering the bye. I would think continuing to get the ball to their go-to receiver will be a big part of the Bucs' post-bye plans.
Redskins RB Alfred Morris (vs. Minnesota) — While the Vikings are allowing just 3.2 yards per carry, I'm still inclined to recommend Morris as a play on Sunday. After all, when these teams met on Christmas Eve 2011, Evan Royster rolled for 132 yards on 19 carries against Minnesota. What's more, Morris (100 carries, 491 yards, four TDs in five starts) has been simply too productive to recommending sitting right now. Note that Morris has received 85.5 percent of the carries that have not gone to QB Robert Griffin III this season.
Cardinals running backs (at Buffalo) — Yes, the Bills' run defense has been wretched the past two weeks, surrendering 558 yards (!) on the ground. However, I wouldn't be pushing William Powell or LaRod Stephens-Howling into the lineup simply because of the matchup. The Cardinals have been a poor rushing team all season, and the Bills fared well against the Jets' and Browns' running games earlier in the season. I have no problem with a "flex" flier on Powell in very big leagues — with Stephens-Howling coming off a hip injury, Powell might be the safer Week Six play for those inclined. However, owners with more proven options will want to look elsewhee.
Ravens QB Joe Flacco (vs. Dallas) — I just don't like the matchup. The Cowboys, who have one of the game's top CB tandems, are allowing just 169.5 net passing yards per game, and they have allowed just five TD passes in four games. While Flacco has been better at home than on the road, that isn't enough to make him a top-caliber play in Week Six.
Chargers WR Robert Meachem (vs. Denver) — The Broncos' stout pass rush is capable of limiting downfield passing, and Chargers wideouts had only one TD in two games against Denver a season ago. Meachem's two TDs at New Orleans in Week Five were positive signs, but they came against his old team, and they came after four games of limited production.
Broncos RB Willis McGahee (at San Diego) — The Chargers have held up pretty well against the run, allowing just 3.7 yards per carry. (Though, to be fair, teams have attempted just 99 rushes in five games vs. San Diego, which is less than the league average.) Nevertheless, the early evidence suggests it's easier to throw than run on the Chargers, who have allowed 11 TD passes.
