I personally have never taken a position on any subject the school board may be considering; however, I would like to offer another viewpoint and option to consider regarding the renaming of the gymnasium and stadium.
The fact that Bill Chance may have the gymnasium named after him would be a very nice tribute to one of the finest men it was my privilege to know. He was a great man and was always available to the students, as Ronnie Bush stated in his article in the My View section of a recent Journal-Standard.
Regarding the renaming of the stadium, I believe consideration should also be given to a coach rather than just one of the many very fine players that suited up as a Freeport Pretzel. I can only speak from my own personal experience in sports; however, there is one coach that not only gave many years to Freeport's football teams but also was head track coach. Howard Weber was dedicated not only to the football program for many years but also to the track program and had a major influence on probably thousands of young men who were privileged to participate in sports under his leadership. He was coaching the track team when the Pretzels won its first district title.
Rather than permanently rename either the gymnasium or stadium in one person's honor, may I suggest you instead establish a "wall of honor" to recognize outstanding coaches and athletes who have exemplified what it means to be a Freeport Pretzel. It is my hope that the name of the gymnasium and stadium remain as is for all who had the opportunity to wear the orange and black.

Over the last year and a half I have been posting off and on about the joys
of having multiple USB drives. It appear Fedora 9 has solved that problem,
rather all those problems. Here is the /etc/fstab as I found it after
upgrading from 8 to 9.
UUID=a1f211c3-9b64-4200-9f60-0b920d8f0ddd / ext3
defaults 1 1
UUID=8dd23455-e351-4b8a-a923-4b8713b219dc /boot ext3
defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
UUID=2055b72e-55e0-4183-97e1-1eac173bc78c /media/320 ext3

defaults 1 2
UUID=03077c2e-f2b7-4a0c-a44c-ad07ed534456 swap swap
defaults 0 0
It grabs the UUID and mounts them on the right partition.
I have no idea what it will do on a new installation.
However now that I have seen this happen this is also the first time I have
upgraded with the USBs connected to the computer so maybe this would have
happened with an older version.

Setting Up Subversion And Apache for Ruby on Rails Development
Posted on July 20th, 2007 in Ruby on Rails, Web Development | 1 Comment »
I've been asked several times how I have my Ruby on Rails development environment set up. The most frequently misunderstood aspect of a Rails development environment is that you do not have to have your Subversion repository physically located on the same server as your deployed application. The only requirement is that all the pieces of your development environment puzzle need to be able to access one another over the internet. So, here's how I have myself setup. It works on both linux (Ubuntu) and Windows XP.
My primary development platform is Ubuntu Linux but I have also set up Apache and Subversion on Windows XP. So I'll try to make Windows related notes along the way. My deployment platform is always a Linux based system – usually Ubuntu Server. In order for Capistrano to work it's magic in needs to make a bunch of symbolic links which is pretty much a Linux feature. While you can develop on any platform you want, make sure you are deploying to a Linux server.
Setting Up Subversion and Apache
This is a description of how to set up your development environment web server and Subversion repository. Again, it is not necessary to have your Subversion repository on your live server. My repository resides on my development machine. I actually have a domain name assigned to my development machine so that it can be accessed over the internet. I use zoneedit.com to manage the DNS. It's a pretty ugly site but it's free, easy to use, and gets the job done. If you don't want to bother with setting up zoneedit, simply put the IP address of your development machine in your server's /etc/hosts file. Or, just use your IP address and forget about setting up a domain for your development machine altogether.
Make sure you have Subversion installed either by installing from Apt if you are on Ubuntu or downloading and installing Subversion if you are on Windows. I'm on Ubuntu so I do the following:
sudo apt-get install subversion subversion-tools
Once subversion is installed, pick a place on your file system where you would like to store your repository. You might choose a location like /home/username/svn or E:\svn on Windows. You want to make sure that Apache is able to write to the folders on your file system. Change to the directory where you want your repository and then create it as follows:
cd /home/username/svn
svnadmin create application-name
sudo chgrp -R www-data application-name
sudo chmod -R g+w application-name
Now you have an empty repository. You cannot access it over the web yet as we have not yet set up Apache. You can however access the repository over your file system. So if you aren't interested in accessing your repository through Apache, you can stop here and start using Subversion. You won't be able to deploy your application over the internet though. So you will probably want to configure Apache to work with Subversion.
On Ubuntu you will need to install libapache2-svn which is the package that provides the mod_dav_svn and mod_authz_svn modules for the Apache 2.2 web server. These modules provide Subversion's WebDAV server backend, to serve repositories over the http and https protocols.
sudo apt-get install libapache2-svn
If you are on Windows, make sure you get the apache the appropriate apache module. Then enable the following modules.
sudo a2enmod dav
sudo a2enmod dav_svn
If you are on windows you will probably need to enable these modules by editing your apache configuration file. You will need to add the following lines to httpd.conf
file: httpd.conf
LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
Next, in your Apache configuration file you need to tell Apache where your repository will be physically located. I'm using Apache 2.2 so I go into /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and setup the location for my repository as follows:
file: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
<Location /path/to/repository>
DAV svn
SVNPath /absolute/path/to/repository
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /absolute/path/to/password/file.txt
Require valid-user
There are three different paths in the above configuration. The first path is the path in the Location tag. This is the path in your URL after your domain. For example, you might have the URL http://www.my-dev-site.com/svn/application-name in which case you would have <Location /svn/application-name> Note, that your url path does not have to map exactly on to the path on your file system.
The second path is the SVNPath which is the absolute path to the location of your Subversion repository. In our example above we would use /home/username/svn/application-name
The third path is the absolute path to you htpasswd file. We haven't created this yet. You may choose to put it in your home directory at /home/username/svnpasswords.txt This is the file that will house the usernames and passwords for accessing your Subversion repository through Apache. Here is how to create you password file.
htpasswd -c /home/username/svnpasswords.txt
If you want more than one user, run the same command again but leave off the -c. If you don't leave off the -c then a new password file will be created and all your previous entries will be lost.
Restart Apache and you have a functioning Subversion repository.
Setup the standard Subversion directories as follows:
svn mkdir http://www.my-dev-site.com/svn/application-name/trunk -m "creating trunk"
svn mkdir http://www.my-dev-site.com/svn/application-name/tags -m "creating tags"
svn mkdir http://www.my-dev-site.com/svn/application-name/branches -m "creating branches"
Importing Ruby on Rails Project Into Subversion
Now we need to set up version control for our Ruby on Rails project. Let's assume we've already got a Ruby on Rails project we want to add to Subversion. If you don't, now is the time to create one.
cd /home/username/rails
rails application-name
Make sure you change directories so that you are in the root directory of your Rails application. Then checkout the trunk of your new repository.
svn co http://www.-my-dev-site.com/svn/application-name/trunk .
Now add all of our project files to your working copy.
svn add *
We don't really want ALL of our files under version control. For example, we don't want to store session files, log files, etc. So tell Subversion to ignore a few files.
svn propset svn:ignore "*" log/
svn revert log/*
svn propset svn:ignore "*" tmp/
svn revert tmp/*
svn commit -m "initial project import"
svn update
Once you are generally comfortable with setting up a project like this manually, you may want to remove some of the hassle by storing an example "starter" rails project in Subversion. When you are ready for a new project, copy the example project out of Subversion. This is an excellent tip and a clever time saver so you can stop using the rails command.
Adding Multiple Files To Subversion
During the course of developing your Ruby on Rails application you will most likely have the need to add a bunch of files to version control. For example, you may have run a few generators and now you need all those files in Subversion. If you want to add all of the "unversioned" files to Subversion, here's a command that will do that for you.
svn st | grep "\?" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn add
This series of commands runs the status command in subversion, pipes the output to grep where we only select the lines that start with ? (indicating that the file is not in Subversion yet). The output from grep is piped to awk where we pluck out the file name of each unversioned file and pass that file name to svn add. It's a great time saver.
Another way to add multiple files:
$ svn add . –force
works great.

SEATTLE -- A disappointing weekend ended with a frustrating finish.
Stanford was out-rebounded for just the third time all season and shot 26.5 percent in the first half, falling to Washington 76-63 in front of an announced crowd of 9,794 Saturday at Alaska Airlines Arena.
"It's always disappointing when you lose, whether it's two losses or one," Cardinal coach Johnny Dawkins said. "To me, they're all the same. We hate to lose and, unfortunately, we didn't get a win this weekend."
After being swept by the Huskies and Washington State, Stanford drops from first to fifth in the Pac-12 standings, one game behind conference leaders Cal and Oregon.
"Coming off of Utah and Colorado, I thought we were playing really good basketball," point guard Aaron Bright said. "We knew we let one get away at WSU, and then we didn't play the way we could here. Hats off to UW, they're a great team."
Stanford (15-5, 5-3 Pac-12) tried to pound the ball into the post early, feeding Josh Owens, who used his quickness to get by Washington's 7-foot center, Aziz N'Diaye.
Owens finished with 14 points and nine rebounds, but the Huskies controlled the offensive and defensive glass, claiming a 47-32 advantage.
"They did a great job boxing out," Dawkins said. "They were very alert on the offensive rebounds, and defensively they did a great job of crashing the boards. They're a terrific rebounding team, and when they put their minds to it, they can rebound with anybody."
The Cardinal trailed by two with 13 minutes to play in the first half but scored only one basket the next 10 minutes. While Stanford missed shots, the Huskies went on a 10-2 run.
Despite shooting poorly in the first half, the Cardinal trailed by only seven at the break.
"I felt good down seven," Dawkins said. "We knew we didn't have our best half of basketball."
For Bright and John Gage, it was a homecoming of sorts, since both sophomores attended nearby high schools. With Bright's high school coach, Chris O'Connor, sitting behind the Cardinal's bench and his mother, Cindi, sitting behind the basket, the point guard looked nervous early.
"You've got to try to find that calm disposition on the floor," Bright said. "You always want to come out and just play tremendous every time you play in front of your family and friends, but it's just about coming out cool and collected."
Bright settled down in the second half and finished with 14 points, but Stanford couldn't keep the Huskies from pulling away.
Washington (12-7, 5-2) went on an 18-2 second-half run -- the Huskies led by as many as 22 points -- to seal the win. The Cardinal didn't have an answer for Washington's freshman point guard, Tony Wroten Jr., who scored a game-high 21 points.
"Tony Wroten was as advertised," Dawkins said. "He was a great player tonight, and that usually helps."

About one million cars are stolen in the U.S. each year. Worried your car might be part of that statistic? A new report by the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), a non-profit in Illinois, ranks the most stolen cars in the United States in a study fittingly titled Hot Wheels 2009. The study examines the make, model, and model year of each reported stolen car in 2008.
The numbers indicate you should be more concerned if your car is over ten years old. The number one stolen car is the 1994 Honda Accord, with over 55,000 stolen nationwide in 2008. One reason older vehicles are targeted more often is because they lack up-to-date anti-theft technology. According to the study's news release, certain models of older cars are also more popular because their parts are valuable on the black market.
The report's preliminary numbers show that 2008 could become the fifth year in a row that the number of auto thefts has declined. The NICB explains that the numbers are showing a 13.1 percent decrease from 2007. This means the total could be less than one million, which would be the lowest in twenty years. These numbers could continue to decline in the next several years due to the continuously improving anti-theft technology.
According to the Forbes article on the study, the best way to protect your car is common sense:
"The best defense, of course, doesn't involve expensive recovery systems or gadgets, but simple common sense. Keeping valuables like shopping bags, purses and loose change out of sight when you park your car is a legitimate theft deterrent, as is simply locking the car and taking the keys with you. No high-tech system will prevent pilfering if the keys are already in the ignition."
Drumroll please…the top 5 cars stolen in the U.S. in 2008:
1. 1994 Honda Accord (55,170)
2. 1995 Honda Civic (48,073)
3. 1989 Toyota Camry (26,245)
4. 1997 Ford F-150 Pickup (17,416)
5. 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup (17,405)

Symbol Analysis
We are constantly reminded of the fact that the knight is getting older. In the first stanza, he has "journeyed long" (4), which implies that he's already old. Then the speaker flat out says "but he grew old "(7). Then, in the third stanza, we learn that his strength has "failed him" (14), at which point he meets a ghost-like figure. It's not clear if the knight just gets old because he gets old, or because his endless searching has prematurely aged the poor dude.
- Line 4: We learn the knight "had journeyed long." The word "journeyed" refers both to the knight's literal journeys, but may also be a metaphor for his journey through life.
- Lines 7-8: The knight "grew old" at some point during his search—or maybe as a direct result of his search.
- Lines 9-10: The shadow that falls over the knight's heart is a metaphor for the knight's depression or unhappiness, or it may also be a metaphor for his advancing age. Think of it like this: there are more shadows when it's closer to evening, and the knight is clearly in the twilight of his life. The repetition of the beginning H ("his heart") and F sounds ("Fell", "found") is called alliteration.
- Lines 13-14: At last, the knight's strength has "failed him." His body is weakening with his advancing age. The repetition of the beginning H sounds here ("his," "him") is known as alliteration.
- Line 15: The knight encountered a "pilgrim shadow," which sounds like a ghost to us. This is probably because he was old and close to death—the time when some people claim to start seeing dead people.

Indonesians Frustrated With Economy, Survey Finds
By Resty Woro Yuniar
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Asep Hidayat waits in flip flops and rolled-up jeans near a bus stop in Jakarta for buyers of his colorful hair clips and hair ribbons. Frustrated, he knows he may have to wait for some time.
"Hopefully, next year the economy would be better than this year," the 29-year-old street vendor says. "The government must prioritize us, the poor,"
Mr. Asep isn't alone in his discouragement with the Indonesian economy. While Indonesia's economy grew at just over 6% in the first quarter from a year ago, it marked the slowest growth rate since the third quarter of 2010.
Only 37% of Indonesians rank their economy as doing well, according to a new report by the Pew Research Center. The finding is part of a new survey --"Global Attitudes Project" — of views in 39 countries by the non-partisan American research group. China came out on top, with 88% of its citizens saying they are satisfied with their economy. More Malaysians – 85% — were happy with their country's economy than any other Southeast Asian country surveyed.
In addition to Indonesia and Malaysia, the other Southeast Asia country in Pew's survey was the Philippines. Sixty-eight percent of Filipinos defined the economy of the Philippines as "good."
"[One of] the most striking divides in global economic attitudes is that citizens of emerging market countries are overall more pleased with their economies than are people in advanced or developing economies," Pew said in its report. The figures were 33 % versus 24%, respectively.
"People in emerging markets also appear to have weathered the recent economic downturn more easily than others around the world. Attitudes in these countries have changed very little or even improved between 2007 and 2013," added the report, which was released this week.
Pew surveyed more than 37,000 people in 39 countries divided into three categories – advanced economies, emerging markets, and developing economies – based on World Bank income groupings. The survey asked people their opinions on their country's economic condition, their own personal financial situation, income disparities and the chances for upward mobility.
Citizens in Japan and South Korea, two of Asia's largest economies, aren't content with their country's performance, with only 27% and 20% of respondents respectively giving their economy a "good" rating.
However, most respondents in Asia-Pacific countries said they were content about their personal finances, making it the most pleased region among the six surveyed.
When asked what the government should first address, more citizens in China, Malaysia, Indonesia said the rising prices caused by inflation than other options, such as economic disparities, lack of jobs and public debt. Citizens in the Philippines, Japan and South Korea were more likely to cite the lack of employment opportunities.
In 31 of 39 countries surveyed, respondents said the gap between the rich and the poor is a very big problem. About two-thirds of Chinese (69%) said inequality has grown. Only in Malaysia (56%), Venezuela (53%) and Australia (51%) did at least half of the respondents say the economic system is fair to most people in their country.
Pew asked whether people were having trouble paying for the basic necessities of food, health care or clothing. Nearly a quarter of Americans (24%) said they have struggled to pay for food. That is similar to emerging markets, such as Brazil (24%). Chinese (30%) and Indonesians (37%) said they have trouble paying for health care.
People living in emerging and developing markets tend to be more optimistic about the future than those in advanced economies. More than half of three Southeast Asian countries' citizens — Indonesia, 52%; Malaysia, 63%; the Philippines, 58%– believe that their personal economic situation will improve in the next 12 months. In China, where the economy has been slowing, 80% of citizens say things will get better next year.
Ahmad Udala, 41, a motorcycle taxi driver in Jakarta, says he is disappointed with the economy and wants the Indonesian government focusing on creating more jobs.
"I think the economy now is worse than in 2007," said Mr. Ahmad, adding he only has enough money to pay for basic needs. "I am not too optimist and not too pessimist. I think the economy would be the same [next year]."

Oil marketing companies will be left to absorb 30% of the subsidies on LPG with the government making provisions for only 15% in the Budget. This will change only if the oil companies are allowed to revise retail prices in line with international trends.
Although the Budget has increased subsidy allocation for petroleum products from Rs 6,265 crore to Rs 8,116 crore, the allocation for LPG and kerosene has actually dropped by Rs 400 crore to Rs 4,100 crore. The finance ministry provided subsidies of about 4,500 crore for LPG and kerosene last year. The higher allocation for '03-04 includes arrears of Rs 2,200 payable to the oil companies.

This paper introduces a product quantization-based approach for approximate nearest neighbor search. The idea is to decompose the space into a Cartesian product of low-dimensional subspaces and to quantize each subspace separately. A vector is represented by a short code composed of its subspace quantization indices. The euclidean distance between two vectors can be efficiently estimated from their codes. An asymmetric version increases precision, as it computes the approximate distance between a vector and a code. Experimental results show that our approach searches for nearest neighbors efficiently, in particular in combination with an inverted file system. Results for SIFT and GIST image descriptors show excellent search accuracy, outperforming three state-of-the-art approaches. The scalability of our approach is validated on a data set of two billion vectors.
High-dimensional indexing, image indexing, very large databases, approximate search.

Clean Energy Investment Retreated in 2012 Despite China Surge
From The Sydney Morning Herald
Clean energy investment slid 11 per cent last year after governments in industrial nations slashed subsidies for technologies ranging from wind turbines to solar power and biomass.
The $US268.7 billion ($254.4 billion) invested in the industry last year was down from a record $US302.3 billion in 2011, the second highest reading ever and was five times the level in 2004, according to data compiled by Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
Investment fell 32 per cent in the US, 51 per cent in Italy, 68 per cent in Spain and 44 per cent in India. That offset gains in China and from small hydropower projects, which were among the few bright spots in the report released today.
"The most striking aspect of these figures is that the decline was not bigger given the fierce headwinds the clean energy sector faced," Michael Liebreich, chief executive of BNEF, said in the statement.
He attributed the declines to the debt crises in the US and Europe, which pared support for incentives that bolster the industry, and to a 24 per cent decline in solar panel prices last year. All segments of the renewable energy industry experienced a drop in investment except for small hydro, which rose 17 per cent to $US7.6 billion.
Solar projects reaped the most funding with $US142.5 billion of the total, followed by wind at $US78.3 billion. Energy-smart technologies including electric vehicles and energy efficiency saw $US18.8 billion investment. Biomass and waste-to-energy investment declined 27 per cent to $US9.7 billion.

The new Coach lost his first game since replacing Antonio Conte, falling 3-2 to amateur side Lucento, and takes on newly-promoted Serie A team Cesena on Wednesday.
"That defeat with Lucento hit the headlines, but tomorrow is a completely different game," insisted Allegri in his Press conference.
"Our training only began on Monday morning and we haven't yet reached an acceptable fitness level.
"All the players will come to Cesena, even the internationals. I have at my disposal a group of players who immediately realised how to optimise the time at our disposal."
There are numerous stories circulating, particularly in Chile, that Vidal is ready to join Manchester United for €60m (approximately £48m).
"I spoke to Vidal to understand his fitness levels. He is motivated, so club and Coach are very happy he will remain in Turin.
"He had surgery just 32 days before the World Cup, so will train on a special schedule for a few days. Vidal is fundamental for Juventus and not just in practical terms and he wants to stay."
The Serie A fixture list pits Allegri against his old club Milan at San Siro just three rounds into the new season.
"It will be intriguing, also because it's a challenge between two teams who want the Scudetto. It's going to be a difficult season, so for me and the lads it would be important to win.
"I come back to San Siro as an opponent, having spent three and a half exciting years there. Last year Milan were very unlucky, but they and Inter will be back in the Scudetto race."
The internationals only arrived from their post-World Cup vacations on Monday, including Andrea Pirlo, who left Milan because he was not in Allegri's plans.
"I saw them motivated. I am new to this environment was catapulted into it from one day to the next, so I'm still trying to get a handle on everything. We've only got a month to achieve that.
"Pirlo? We already spoke 10 days ago. We are professionals."

Year of the Eucharist: A Call To Unity
Pope Benedict and Eucharist
From One Plate to One Body
Building Up the Whole Human Family
Edwin Victor, S.J., a native of India, has spent lots of time living among Muslims in his country, acquiring an intimate knowledge of their religion and language (Urdu).
In a March 21, 2005, article in America, a Jesuit weekly magazine, Father Edwin wrote about an experience he had while studying in a prominent Indian madrasa (religious training school for Muslims).
"At the madrasa," Father Edwin writes, "the students and I ate together off the same plate. One student told me: 'We eat together like this at home. It is the mark of being together as one family. You are a member of our family. It is a sign of our trust for one another.' As I shared meals with my Muslim friends, I felt close to the way Jesus related to people. For Jesus a meal was a symbol of life and relationship. Through a simple meal he built up an everlasting relationship between his friends and his Father."
Father Edwin quoted one of the Muslim students as saying, "When we eat from the same plate, our love for one another is deepened." Father Edwin went on to observe, "Sharing meals in this way helped me to feel more deeply united with them and to understand the joys and agonies of their lives."
The symbolism of eating from one plate is very meaningful—and a wonderful idea to apply to the Eucharist.
Pope Benedict and Eucharist
The day after his election to the papacy on April 20, Pope Benedict XVI made several comments on the Eucharist in his first message to the cardinals.
"In a very significant way," Benedict said, "my pontificate starts as the Church is living the special year dedicated to the Eucharist....The Eucharist, the heart of the Christian life and the source of the evangelizing mission of the Church, cannot but be the permanent center and the source of the Petrine service entrusted to me.
"The Eucharist makes the Risen Christ constantly present: Christ who continues to give himself to us, calling us to participate in the banquet of his Body and his Blood. From this full communion with him comes every other element of the life of the Church, in the first place the communion among the faithful, the commitment to proclaim and give witness to the gospel, the ardor of charity toward all, especially toward the poor and the smallest."
Pope Benedict assured the cardinals that the Eucharist would be at the center of World Youth Day in Cologne in August and at the Synod of Bishops in October.
"I ask everyone," he added, "to intensify love and devotion to the eucharistic Jesus and to express in a courageous and clear way the real presence of the Lord...."
From One Plate to One Body
Just as eating off the same plate can deepen unity among family members or friends, so when we share with proper awareness the one plate at the Eucharist, we deepen unity and love among ourselves and with the whole Catholic community.
Pope Benedict took this eucharistic dynamic one step further. "Nourished and sustained by the Eucharist," the pope asserted, "Catholics cannot but feel stimulated to tend toward that full unity for which Christ hoped and prayed in [the Upper Room]."
The pope then confided that "his primary commitment" as the successor of Peter would be "that of working tirelessly toward the reconstitution of the full and visible unity of all Christ's followers."
Building Up the Whole Human Family
Just as Christ in the Eucharist calls us to pursue the ecumenical dream of becoming one vast eucharistic community embracing all the Christian Churches, so also he calls us to promote the unity and development of the whole human family.
Again, the one-plate model helps us here. A basic principle of Catholic social teaching is that the earth's resources belong to all. Mother Earth, so to speak, presents to each of us the goods of creation on one plate, and each deserves a fair share of the Creator's blessings.
The Eucharist serves as a good model in this regard. In that Holy Banquet, each person receives an equal part of the one loaf, which is Christ himself. And each is fully satisfied. And so it should be with the banquet of creation. Everyone has an equal right "to be seated at the table of the common banquet," to use the words of Pope John Paul II in On Social Concern, #33.
Because of human greed, however, faulty international policies, unfair trade laws and the tendency of the rich to exploit the poor, many disadvantaged brothers and sisters are not able to find even a seat at the table—much less a fair share of the one plate of creation.
Part of our calling as a eucharistic community is to go out and work alongside people of all faiths and perspectives in the struggle for a more united, loving and just world where everyone in the human family has an equal right to participate fully in the banquet of creation.
In similar tones, Pope Benedict affirmed that the Church wants to work with everyone "in a search for the true good of mankind and of society." Asking God for "unity and peace for the human family," Pope Benedict pledged "the willingness of all Catholics to cooperate for true social development, one that respects the dignity of all human beings."—J.W.

The association between soft-tissue calcification (STC) and uremia has been recognized for more than 100 years,1 but it is only since the widespread use of regular dialysis and transplantation that this has become an important problem.2
Virchow1 surmised that calcium salts dissolved from bone were carried in the blood and deposited at some distant site to form "calcium metastases," a process analogous to the dissemination of cells from a primary neoplasm. In a review of 88 patients," the underlying cause of metastatic calcification was nonmetabolic bone disease in 35, uremia in 23, primary hyperparathyroidism in 21, and vitamin D intoxication in 9. The lesions typically occur in the kidneys, stomach, lungs, and the left side of the heart, supposedly because of relative local alkalinity.4 The essential feature of metastatic calcification is its occurrence in previously normal tissue exposed to an abnormal chemical environment, in contrast to dystrophic calcification which occurs in

Denorfia in lead-off slot Sunday vs. Rockies
Written by | Bill Center | 12:18 p.m., Sep 5, 2010

Padres manager Bud Black is adjusting his lineup again Sunday afternoon as the Padres seek to snap a nine-game losing streak against the Colorado Rockies at Petco Park (1:05 p.m.; TV: 4 San Diego)

Chris Denorfia will bat in the lead-off slot for the first time this season with Miguel Tejada hitting in the No. 5 slot behind Adrian Gonzalez. Aaron Cunningham will start in left and hit eighth in the order against Rockies left-handed starter Jorge De La Rosa.

The Rockies will be seeking to complete their first road sweep of the season against the Padres, who have seen their lead in the National League West slip from a season-high 6 1/2 games over the Giants on Aug. 25 to just two games.

And the Rockies are just 5 1/2 games out with 16 of their final 26 games at Coors Field.

The Padres made another roster move Sunday morning, calling up left-hander Cesar Ramos from Triple-A Portland. Ramos will give the Padres a second left-hander in the bullpen for situational purposes and also has the ability to work long relief.

Ramos was 6-7 for Portland with a 3.28 ERA in 30 appearances and 15 starts. He had two stints with the Padres this season and was 0-1 with a 21.21 ERA. He allowed seven runs in one inning in Seattle in his last outing with the Padres on May 21.

Army Navy: The Last Place
What the critics are saying:
The Rock and Roll Report: The band's sound is reminiscent of a mixture of Teenage Fanclub, Pulp and Belle & Sebastian with an easygoing bounce in each track's rhythm.
Sputnik Music: While the lengths of the songs remain almost exactly the same as the ones on the debut, this set of tracks feel like they've had more room to breathe.
Spin: Frontman Justin Kennedy cycles through the stages of grief, from bitterness (the deceptively upbeat piano plink of "Ode to Janice Melt") to shrugging acceptance (the aptly titled "Pastoral"), emphasizing sharp hooks and partisan reportage over woe-is-me solipsism.
Pitchfork: Army Navy's note-perfect mining of the classics isn't merely musical. Frontman Justin Kennedy's woebegone lyrics about the one who got away-- who, it comes out in fits and spurts throughout The Last Place, may've been a celebrity, and may not've exactly been unattached-- hew almost as closely to classic power-pop tropes.
The Last Place, which has since been released digitally via eMusic, is out now via The Fever Zone Records.

Tipperary not finished article insists boss Eamon O'Shea
Updated: Monday, 18 Aug 2014 00:17 | Comments
Tipperary manager Eamon O'Shea insists that his team still have a lot to work on, despite blowing Cork out of the water in the All-Ireland semi-final.
Tipp hammered the Munster champions at Croke Park by ten points, though O'Shea says improvement will be required before next month's final with Kilkenny (7 September).
"I'm not trying to downplay the performance or appear any way calm about this; I think the performance was really good," he explained.
"I'm just saying they are not happy with their movement and their coming on to the ball.
"In terms of where it came from, these guys are calm. They are calm about what they do. They don't pay much attention to what is being said or written about them.
"We tried to get calmness around us, solidity around us, and to be something. That's all we want to be; to be something.
"What you saw was that solidity. When people are assessing Tipperary, sometimes I see the word 'flair' being mentioned.
"When I assess Tipperary I see the word 'character' first. Because you can't have flair without character. This team are really strong in terms of their character.
"That's the way it has to be. You can't get into an All-Ireland final unless the team has bundles of it."
Tipp were given little hope of making it this far, but their win over the Rebels sets up a fourth All-Ireland final in six years with Kilkenny.
"I think it's great credit to them," said O'Shea. "I said it to them that they should be proud of what they've done, in terms of the way they delivered on what they wanted to do themselves.
"We just put in a framework for them and I'm just happy for them."
Cork boss Jimmy Barry-Murphy didn't pull any punches in his assessment of what was one of the poorest performances of his latest three-year term in charge.
"I just think on the day we were comprehensively outplayed in many positions on the field," he said.
"I think when you're playing a team of Tipperary's quality, you can't hope to win the game [when that happens].
"Nine wides in the first half was shocking. It was very, very poor at times.
"That eroded confidence certainly. Free-taking was a problem as well. Different things didn't help us today.
"I thought two points down at half-time flattered us. The wides eroded confidence, heads seemed to drop because of that."
Barry-Murphy led Cork to within a puck of a ball of winning last year's All-Ireland before they lost the final after a replay to Clare.
However, he was non-committal about his future as Rebels manager.
"I'm not sure," he said. "I'll have to reflect on it to be honest and talk to the county board to see what they want to do."

Jennifer Nettles Holds Down Two Top Spots on Duets
"I just shine a flashlight," Sugarland lead singer says humbly as she dominates new TV singing show.
Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland is representing country music in a sweet sweet way on the new ABC singing contest Duets.
Once again, her two duet partners landed in the two top spots Wednesday night (June 20).
In fact, that marks the fifth straight week that Jennifer's R&B partner, J. Rome, has been atop the leader board. And J. Rome did it with "I Will Always Love You."
But it was Jennifer's second partner, John Glosson, from Jennifer's hometown in Georgia, who really wowed the crowd with his version of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On." It drew a standing ovation, even from judge/pop singer Robin Thicke, not always a huge John Glosson supporter in past episodes.
The judges also gave Jennifer the credit she deserved for singing her butt off, with Kelly Clarkson specifically mentioning the country singer's talents on high notes after the Celine Dion cover.
Jennifer remained humble: "I just shine the flashlight," she said.
In coming weeks, viewers will get to vote, so it'll be interesting to see if J. Rome can hold on to that top spot and ride it all the way through to the end.

Don't Let Quality Be Blinded By Quantity
If there's one theme that sticks in my head from last month's Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) & BrewExpo America in Denver, it's quality versus quantity. Or, more specifically, how much does the latter help or hurt the former?
The quality issue has been a running theme at the past handful of CBCs and has been a core talking point in Brewers Association director Paul Gatza's annual State of the Craft Brewing Industry address. And it kind of has to be, especially when you're bringing quantity into the equation. By quantity, I mean, of course, the exploding number of new breweries getting into the craft business year after year. Just last year the number of new craft operations surged by about 15 percent to 2,768 at the end of 2013.
It's exciting but it's also somewhat frightening and that sentiment's certainly not lost on the folks at the Brewers Association. It's a segment whose key players have survived and thrived largely because of an uncompromising commitment to quality. The pioneers got in the business when there was no bandwagon on which to jump or wave to ride.
But now, as everyone from financial community to amateur brewing hobbyists are hip to the accelerating growth of craft, there could be many getting into the business without getting their heads around what's truly involved. I've spoken to more than a few people who's said, "I'm a pretty good home brewer and my friends said I should start a brewery. So I did." And more than a few others among the moneyed classes who've said, "I hear craft brewing's hot, so I'm going to invest in it even though I don't know much about it or really care all that much about beer."
I can somewhat relate with the first group. It wouldn't be immodest of me to say that the dozen years I've been writing about beer (not to mention every other beverage) that I know slightly more than the average consumer about it.
But I could never claim to know as much or more about beer than actual brewers or authors who've had several books published on the topic—many of whom I count among my friends. The friends not involved in beer in anyway, however, think I know "everything" about the beverage because I know a few more things about it than they do. So I've had them tell me on more than one occasion, "Hey, you should start a brewery." Umm, no. There are two types of insight my experience has afforded me. No. 1: Running a brewery is hard work. No. 2: The more I learn about brewing the more I learn how little I know about brewing.
So it scares me when folks say they'd committed their every penny to a business based on nothing more than the urgings of less-knowledgeable friends.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that there's so much interest in craft beer and so many new players. I fell in love with craft beer my first year at Beverage World and the rise of the segment over the past decade-plus has paralleled my own personal beer geek adventure.
This is personal for me. I don't want this surge in quantity to be at the expense of quality. Because it's quality that really makes craft...well, craft.

American Forests is proud to announce a series of three tree measuring webinars and a grant program in partnership with Laser Technology, Inc. (LTI), world leader in manufacturing the most popular line of handheld professional measurement and mapping lasers. For the grant program, American Forests and LTI have teamed up to create a unique opportunity for state coordinators and certifiers to upgrade their equipment to more accurately measure current and potential champion trees. The grant program will distribute up to 10 refurbished TruPulse 360 compass laser rangefinders valued at $1,000 each.
Grants will be issued to state big tree programs which submit the best grant applications, based on need and merit. The grant submission form includes an essay describing how they would utilize LTI's measurement technology, including what tools or methods are being used now when making field measurements, how it will improve the program to use LTI's measurement technology and how results will be tracked or reported. American Forests and LTI will also co-host a three-part webinar series that will educate veteran and aspiring big tree hunters and tree-tech enthusiasts on the latest measuring guidelines from the National Big Tree Program: http://www.americanforests.org/bigtrees/forestry-measurement-tools/measurement-tools-techniques-webinar-series/.
The National Register of Big Trees is a competition based on size, so it's critical that a champion tree is the true champion. American Forests recently formed a Measuring Guidelines Working Group to update the current measuring guidelines and establish techniques everyone can use to minimize errors when nominating national contenders. Part of the ongoing effort to elevate the scientific foundation of the program is to equip state programs with the tools necessary to measure trees accurately and consistently.
"American Forests and Laser Technology, Inc., share an interest in advancing appreciation for, and the science of, big trees," said Scott Steen, President and CEO of American Forests. "We are delighted to be working together to offer this webinar series and, thanks to the generosity of LTI, a terrific grant program."
Tens of thousands of professionals, from foresters to electric utilities, use LTI lasers every day to measure heights, clearances, slopes, azimuths, spans between two tree features and much more. All raw measurements and calculated solutions from the laser can import into most GPS and GIS handheld data collectors for remote positioning and mapping purposes. American Forests is very enthusiastic about supporting the efforts of state coordinators by getting LTI's measurement technology in their hands.
"Our professional measurement division got started with a laser we designed for the US Forest Service in the early nineties," explains David Williams, CEO of Laser Technology, Inc. "When I learned about this opportunity to work with American Forests and help get our technology out to professionals who need it, we were excited to jump on board."
The LTI-sponsored three-part webinar series will also provide an opportunity for individuals to win a TruPulse 360 laser. Candidates will be eligible to win by attending all three webcasts. Their names will automatically be entered three times into a drawing to win one of the two TruPulse 360 lasers to be offered. This contest is above and beyond the ten lasers for the grant program.
Each webinar will focus on one component of the equation used to crown a national champion tree: circumference, height and crown spread. The webinars will feature expert guest speakers affiliated with the National Big Tree program. Because LTI tools are used by world-class big tree hunters, scientists, forest ecologists, and timber cruisers all over the world, American Forests is proud to work with LTI and bring their world-class equipment to the hands of more forestry professionals.
American Forests restores and protects urban and rural forests. Founded in 1875, the oldest national nonprofit conservation organization in the country has served as a catalyst for many of the most important milestones in the conservation movement, including the founding of the U.S. Forest Service, the national forest and national park systems and literally thousands of forest ecosystem restoration projects and public education efforts. In the last two decades, American Forests has planted more than 45 million trees in forests throughout the U.S. and in 44 countries, resulting in cleaner air and drinking water, restored habitat for wildlife and fish, and the removal of millions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Learn more at www.americanforests.org.
Laser Technology, Inc. is celebrating their 28th year of business and has been awarded 63 laser and compass-based patents worldwide with current ones pending. Laser Technology, Inc. is responsible for developing the first recreational rangefinder and the first reflectorless handheld total station. LTI engineers are the only ones who successfully created a handheld compass laser that produces 1 degree azimuth accuracy without any pitch and roll limitations. It's called TruVector Compass Technology™ and nothing on the market has yet to match its reliability, repeatability and overall performance.

Hi Google Analyticator Crew,
First of all, big thanks for this great plugin!
Today I updated the plugin to the latest version of Google Analyticator and it returned this error:
Google PHP API Client requires the CURL PHP extension
The WordPress installation is running on a local Appache server (Xampp) maybe that has something to do with it?
I hope you can help me out.

One of many photos I took in a very short time in Jökulsárlón, Iceland. Shame actually but i had that day company in my Jeep and it was already getting dark and we had few miles to Hofn where we were staying for the night so I needed to be very quick with taking the photos, that one I think perfectly captures the mood of that stunning place.

Our group applies principles from quantum mechanics and statistical thermodynamics to model molecular phenomena with computer simulations.
We use or adapt existing software to perform ab initio electronic structure calculations, all-atom and coarse grained classical molecular dynamics and Car-Parrinello and Born-Oppenheimer ab initio molecular dynamics simulations.
We also develop new techniques and program code for new hardware like GPGPUs and multi-core CPUs and specific complex problems, for example to enhance sampling of rare events, and develop parameters for realistic coarse grain modeling of meso-scale biophysical applications.
Our simulations help interpret experimental results and gain understanding from a microscopic perspective. Thus we are collaborating with researchers from several multi-disciplinary research efforts.

Though the study and practice of medicine has been around since the beginnings of human civilization, it is only within the past 150 years that the medical field has made its most groundbreaking and world-changing discoveries and advancements. We've learned what germs are, what they do, and how to destroy them; we've discovered DNA sequencing and the secrets of genetic coding; and we've advanced the act of surgery, once a desperate battlefield choice likely to kill the patient, to an outpatient procedure that people can volunteer for when they don't like the shape of their noses.
In case you woke up this morning wondering what Facebook's stance on Human Centipeding is, wonder no longer. You can now rent "Human Centipede II: Full Sequence" on Facebook via the SundanceNOW page. That is, until some parents group gets a whiff of it and shuts that noise down. Just wait, it will happen.
Unlike some other cartoon series that shall not be named, it amazes me that after 15 years, South Park continues to be funny & push the boundaries of good taste. But while we all know my attraction for crude humor, you're probably wondering what the HELL South Park has to do with Horror....a t least other than the Snooki episode they did - that was terrifying.
When the BGH Crew began discussing its nominations for its list of the top ten horror films of the year, one thing became rather obvious. While it's been a year filled with lots of quality horror films -- indeed, some might even say risky films -- there wasn't that one movie that broke away from the crowd to truly establish itself as the best.
As if "Bad Biology" wasn't an awkward enough conversation, this week we're discussing "The Human Centipede". Enjoy!
The time has come folks, this week the crew hunkers down and watches "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)". Directed by Mr. Tom Six the film has been all a buzz for the past few months with the hip kids on the playground because of it's seriously f'ed up plot. If you don't know about the film yet then you're in for a treat.
I'm still not totally sold on the idea of a prequel to "The Thing", regardless of the flick's potential. To help bolster interest, the very first photo from the set of the film has been released to the general public, but to be quite honest, there's really not a whole lot to look at. Unless, of course, you like random buildings and snow.
When things slow down at work for a moment, take some time today to properly investgate the brand spanking new trailer for SyFy's Mega Piranha. The film stars Barry Williams and Tiffany. How could things possibly go wrong?
IFC Films has graciously unleashed even more twisted pictures from writer/director Tim Six's upcoming shocker "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)". The sooner I can get my hands on a copy of this disgusting little flick, the better. Am I as sick and disturbed as I pretend to be? Why not? I'm bored.
If you're not familiar with the upcoming film "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)" then you're in for one hell of a Monday morning. In short the movie revolves around a mad doctor who is obsessed with the idea of creating a living human centipede by sowing peoples mouths to other peoples asses. Take a sip of your coffee and think about that for a few seconds. Did you just throw up? If not then you're a sicko too.
Milla Jovovich fans, get your towels ready. The first batch of photos from "Resident Evil: Afterlife" have finally arrived! Is it sad and grossly pathetic that I own all three movies on DVD? Probably.
There's something vaguely disturbing about the new one-sheet for Tom Six's twisted human drama "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)". As soon as this thing hits DVD, I'll be the first in line to pick it up. Does this make me a sick, demented bastard? I certainly hope so.
If you're as crazy about this current wave of extreme Japanese gore flicks as I am, chances are you'll love this snazzy collection of photos from Iguchi and Nishimura's upcoming action/gore epic "The Mutant Girls Squad". These chicks can kick my ass any day of the week.

The Press Newspaper
Oregon City Council last Monday approved a three-year collective bargaining agreement with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 755.
The agreement states that there are no wage increases for the first year, and a reopener on wages in the second and third year.
New sheriff sets administrative staff
The sheriff said Hickman, who has more than 30 years of law enforcement experience, is an asset to the community and department and is able to work "with the public as well as the sheriff's office staff."
Oregon is seeking the renewal of three levies on the November 8 ballot.
Voters are being asked to renew an existing 2 ¼ percent five-year levy on income that is needed to run the city.
An austerity plan that includes closing Graytown and Carroll elementary schools if an operating levy on the November ballot fails has been approved by the Benton-Carroll-Salem school board.
The schools would be closed starting with the 2012-13 school year, reducing personnel by six teaching and 10 non-teaching positions.
Many parents attending a school board meeting last Tuesday were critical of the board's approval of pay hikes for 12 administrators in the Oregon City Schools District.
The board had approved raises for 12 administrators at an August 16 meeting. Superintendent Mike Zalar received the biggest raise, from $116,965 to $130,221.
