"Where priest and people together face the same way, what we have is a cosmic orientation and also in interpretation of the Eucharist in terms of resurrection and trinitarian theology. Hence it is also an interpretation in terms of parousia, a theology of hope, in which every Mass is an approach to the return of Christ."
Joseph Ratzinger - The Feast of Faith"In those situations where homosexual unions have been legally recognized or have been given the legal status and rights belonging to marriage, clear and emphatic opposition is a duty. ... If all Catholics are obliged to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions, Catholic politicians are obliged to do so in a particular way, in keeping with their responsibility as politicians." CDF 2003
One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting. — C. S. Lewis

"One of the few things in life you can be absolutely sure about is that, if Management tells you it doesn't like your Tone, you are getting something right."
"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

She doubted she could lose a lot of weight, so Ann Anderson set her sights low.
Twenty pounds.
That was her goal when she signed up for Pete Thomas' "Lose It Fast/Lose It Forever" program.
"I'd tried in the past," Anderson says. "I'd lose 10 pounds and gain it – and more – back."
But that was two years and 60 pounds ago.
Anderson lost that weight and became more active thanks to Thomas, a walking, talking testimony to the ability to lose weight, keep it off and become fitter and healthier in the process.
Thomas, 44, of Ann Arbor, Mich., once tipped the scales at 401 pounds. He began dropping weight after becoming a contestant on the hit NBC reality show, "The Biggest Loser." Three months in, in May 2005, he was voted off the show.
But he took what he learned there, plus what he learned on his own, to become the show's most successful at-home weight-loss contestant.
He lost 83 pounds on "The Biggest Loser" and another 102 after leaving the show.
Thomas was so excited about what he had accomplished that he started teaching others through seminars, boot camps and corporate wellness programs, coaching and coaxing numerous others to shed weight and become fitter.
Anderson, 46, of Pinckney, Mich., had tried to lose weight many ways. She knew she was in for something different the first day of Thomas' 10-week program.
"I'll never forget it," she said. "He said, 'We need to make a decision to commit now or quit.' That really struck me because that told me this guy is not in it for money or fame. We had paid for the class and he was telling us 'I'd rather give you your money back, because we want serious people here.'
"Then, when you see that life-size poster of him when he was that 400-pound person, and you see what he looks like now … it's inspiring."
Anderson ended up losing 27 pounds during the class, and eventually shed 33 more. She has kept it off for about eight months now.
What made the difference for Anderson, a hairstylist who was overweight all her adult life?
She says she learned how to eat smarter and exercise more in ways that made it stick, and it became so routine she doesn't think about it anymore.
"Every week he focused on a specific topic and gave us homework assignments," she recalls. "It wasn't just coming to class and sitting and listening. He had challenges every week, and he made them fun and interesting."
For example, one day the class went to a grocery store and participants competed to find the lowest- and highest-calorie food items. "Some of the foods I thought were low-calorie, weren't," Anderson says.
Getting active also made a huge difference for Anderson and others. "I remember the first time he told us to run on a treadmill for 15 minutes," she says. "I thought, 'Oh my God! He's crazy.' "
But then he talked her through it. "He said, "Run two minutes, walk one minute.' Well, you sort of feel like you can do anything for two minutes."
The two minutes turned into 15, and five months later, in October 2010, she ran her first half-marathon. This October, she'll run her fifth.
"I think about how crazy I thought he was when he told us to run 15 minutes, and now I've been running two hours every Monday for the past two years," she says.
Unlike Anderson, Ann Guttman, 46, of Ann Arbor, was physically active. She biked and she played soccer and field hockey, but over time she packed 20 extra pounds onto her 4-foot- 8 frame.
She didn't think it was possible because she was so active.
But one of the most important things Thomas told her: "You can't outrun your mouth."
Guttman realized she was engaging in self-defeating behavior. "I'd go on a 40-mile bike ride and eat a huge plate of food at Coney Island afterward," she says. "I'm little, but I can pack away the groceries."
Guttman started the program in February and dropped 20 pounds before the class ended in April. She did it by increasing the amount of exercising she does, adding strength training to her regimen and choosing lower-calorie options when she goes to restaurants.
Not only did Guttman lose weight, but painful symptoms of arthritis disappeared, she says.
She and others say team spirit built into the program – which Thomas calls the secret sauce of success – is also extremely encouraging, both in person in the seminars and boot camps and online through a private Facebook page where members post successes and challenges and connect with workout buddies.
"You can post that you're looking for someone to walk or run at a particular park and a particular time and you're bound to get at least two or three people responding that they'll join you," Guttman says.
Jessica Towers knew she needed to do something when she saw a photo of herself with husband, Matt, and their two daughters, in December 2010.
"I'm seeing that picture and thinking, 'Am I really that big?' "
Towers signed up for the boot camp in January 2011. Six months later, Matt joined, too .
"I learned I needed to cut the amount of calories I was eating by almost half. At first, I thought, 'How can I get by eating this little?' I was cranky, irritable. But after about a week, I got used to it," she says.
Both of them also started exercising, including running.
This month, they'll both run a half-marathon in Detroit. It will be her second; his first.
Thomas "has given me the knowledge that I need and showed me that I can do it," she says.
Meanwhile, Towers, who dropped from a size 18 to a size 10, says she feels better than she has ever felt. "I'm wearing sizes I don't even remember wearing in college. It's nice to be able to shop in regular stores. That's probably the best part."
Matt Towers achieved his goal of getting to 200. The 6-foot-1 software consultant went from 290 pounds in July 2011 to 200 this past April. He was so encouraged by the program that, at Thomas' suggestion, he became a certified fitness instructor .
He also started a fitness program at his church so he and his wife can share what they've learned with congregants at Peace Lutheran Church in Ann Arbor.
But there's another big bonus.
"I used to love to play basketball in high school and college. There's a group of guys who play at lunch. I used to drive by and watch them play for years and I used to think, 'I wish I could join them.' But I just didn't have the energy."
He plays with them now.
"It's hard to put into words how fulfilling that is," says Matt.
Thomas' plan
Pete Thomas (www.petethomas.com) mixes his weight loss story, and those of people he helped, in a new how-to book that he hopes will help others do what the title suggests – "Lose It Fast, Lose It Forever" (Avery, $26).
The book maps out the key components of his approach, such as engaging your mind in the battle, developing an individualized plan that involves reducing calories and increasing exercise, using a support team, journaling and viewing weight loss not as a goal itself, but as a means to a healthier, more purpose-driven life.
Thomas' philosophy is: "Master your mind, manage your mouth and multiply your muscles."
"My goal is to help people develop a plan that works for them," he says.
Thomas quit his job as a real estate investor to devote all his time to helping others succeed in living healthier lives. "My misery has become my ministry," he says.
He believes the mind is one of the most important tools for healthier living.
"The reason we fail is because of broken focus," he says. "Your most powerful weight loss weapon is your mind."

One of my favorite moments is when I get to snuggle with my 4-year-old to watch "Dinosaur Train" before I take him to preschool.
Recently, there was an episode where Mrs. Pteranodon took her four children to play with Mrs. Maiasaura and her children. Mrs. Maiasaura was an overprotective mom whose fear for her children's safety outweighed her ability to let them explore the world immediately around them. On the other hand, Mrs. Pteranodon allowed her children to explore everywhere and take what appeared to be risks in their play and interaction. Even though they are fictional, computer-animated characters, I could relate to both of these dino-moms and it got me thinking.
Where you choose to be and for whom you are there for should come from your own heart. It is easier to listen to those around you who tell you what you should and should not do, but remember they are speaking from their own experiences first. They may be trying to be helpful, but ultimately they are expressing their own hindsight and everyone's 20/20 is different. As humans, we are always pushing for independence; it is inherent to our nature.
From the time my daughter was born more than 10 years ago, I knew I wanted and needed to be home with my kids the majority of the time. It is a choice every mother makes: stay home or work? Sometimes finances make that decision for you. In my case, teaching with three kids in full- or part-time care would leave me with gas money to get to and from work…not much of a gain there.
In addition to the financial issue, a mom has to consider herself. Yes, herself. Now that is not selfish, so just relax. I'm not saying put yourself before your children; however, we have all heard the saying: "If Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."
If a mom knows she needs to work for her own happiness, then by all means she should with the support of those around her. If a mom knows she needs to be home with her kids and if it's possible, then she should do what she can to make that happen. Sometimes, as with single parents, there is not much of a choice, but no matter the choice of the mom, it is no one's choice and business but hers! However she is going to be happy is going to benefit her family.
An independent woman is a woman who does what she wants, regardless of what that "want" may be. I have been lucky in the sense that I was able to participate in my husband's optometry practice doing bookkeeping and managing staff. It was really a few hours of work a week. That was enough for me. I felt productive. Though it wasn't in my field of training, to quote a friend, I was able to "use at least one brain cell that day."
It's as different as taste in shoes. What is great for some, can break another's ankle. Some things you can choose and some things you have to let happen. You have to listen to your gut. But criticizing another's choice, just because it is not the one you would make, doesn't benefit anyone.
When my daughter began her school career, there was always a big issue of play dates. Most of the time, these play dates were a reflection of parent choices, whether it be that the parents knew one another, or the parents specifically chose with whom they wanted their child to play. I made some attempts at finding play dates for my daughter, but it never felt right to do so. It was better for her to ask to play with someone specifically.
There was a shift in my involvement by the time my older son reached the socially interactive stage. I didn't get as involved as I previously had. I just let it be. I came to realize that his ability to choose and form friendships started with his independence in his own social environment. I realized that if I started choosing for him, then perhaps he wouldn't be able to choose for himself later. He wouldn't know how to "make" a friend himself. He would miss out on skills he needed to choose friends that suited him. I came to the realization that finding friends for him did him no favors. It's a valuable skill for him to practice throughout his development. Right about that same time, I quit worrying so much about my daughter's social interactions and let her begin to find her own path.
Sometimes, they may choose someone that I feel is not the best influence and I will voice my concern, but I have found that they are getting more skilled at identifying negative behaviors on their own. I will always exercise my parental authority when necessary, but I work hard to balance it with open-mindedness.
One of the biggest challenges I have found as a parent is letting go. We have all heard that, I know. But it's not just something that is marked with milestones, but something that happens every single day of my kid's lives. Every day they learn a little bit more about themselves and the world around them. Every day is a step to independence. For me that doesn't mean losing my child; it is a mark of success. The ultimate goal of motherhood is helping to nourish another human being into independence so they can go out into the world and be successful and independent.
As Mrs. Pteranodon kindly reminded Mrs. Maiasaura, "It's your choice, but if it was really dangerous I wouldn't let Buddy go."

Is the man behind the lens ready for his close-up?
Abrams, 33, is best known for photographing the contemporary music and commercial fashion scenes, having shot for magazines like Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Sports Illustrated and GQ, among others.
Here are five more things to know about the man spotted holding hands with Garth:
1. His celebrity photos range from intimate to chaotic
Abrams has quite the impressive portfolio on his website, ranging from arresting portraits of actresses like Hayden Panettiere and Zoe Saldana to intimate snapshots of athletes like skateboarder Tony Hawk and surfer Kelly Slater, to chaotic tour images of musical acts like Coldplay, Foo Fighters and Ben Harper.
2. He's making a documentary about the Black Keys
Abrams was on tour with the Akron, Ohio, rock duo for much of the first half of this year, and is good friends with Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney. He tells Spin that he hopes to make "a buddy comedy with perhaps the greatest soundtrack of all time," he says, adding, "I'm fortunate enough to know both these guys pretty well and their relationship is pretty incredible and very funny."
3. He photographed skateboarders in Afghanistan for a stunning series
Far from the bright lights of Los Angeles, where he's based, Abrams discovered a small but thriving skateboarding scene in Afghanistan – and documented it in a remarkable series of photos. He was inspired by a YouTube clip he'd stumbled upon showing Afghan kids skateboarding in Kabul. "It struck me as the most positive image I'd seen in a long time," he told The New York Times. "I had to figure out a way to get over there."
4. He posts a regular photo diary of his travels online
Want to keep up with Abrams? He posts images from the road regularly on his personal Tumblr account.
5. He's got some interesting hobbies, too
On the bio page of his website, Abrams says he spends his downtime "riding motorcycles, eating ice cream, and writing biographies of himself in the third person." Well, that explains the Dairy Queen drive-through photo on his Tumblr.

The victims of Reading's latest triple shooting have not cooperated with the investigation, police said.
The shooting happened around 1:45 a.m., Monday, in the 800 block of Franklin Street in Reading, near Peach Street.
A woman was shot in the hand, one man was shot in the shoulder, and another man received a bullet to the buttocks, police said.
Police said one of the victims, Matthew Christopher Soto, 24, was arrested after it was discovered he was wanted by the Pennsylvania State Police for escape.
The second victim, Juan Carlos Cortez, 27, was arrested because police said he was found to be in possession of marijuana.
Police said that all three victims have claimed they were not together at the time of the shooting, and have no idea who shot them.
Neighbors said they just want the violence to stop.
"Because you could be walking down the street and all of a sudden, you could get shot," said Janet Reed.
This is not the only triple shooting the Reading police is trying to solve. On Friday, May 4th, around 7:00 p.m., there was a triple shooting near 17th and Perkiomen Avenue. Police have named two suspects, Christopher Pagan, 19, and Xavier Jason Pagan, 22.
Anyone who has information that can help investigators is asked to call Crime Alert Berks County toll-free at 877-373-9913.

"I was with him just four days before it happened," Gibson, 35, said on The Arsenio Hall Show. "We were on the set shooting, and that was a lot of shock and trauma for the family and all of us involved, because he's such a nice guy."
After an emotional Dec. 1 visit to the site of the crash, Gibson largely withdrew from public view, preferring instead to express his grief via social media.
"In moments like this, it feels – it feels like death has won," Gibson later posted to Facebook, paraphrasing a funeral sermon by Bishop T.D. Jakes. "But the Bible says that love is stronger than death."

This refers to the governor on a steam engine. Two heavy balls are attached to the engine so that as engine speed increases, the centrifigal force of the flywheel causes the balls to rise. As the balls top out, they govern (limit) the engine, thereby controlling maximum engine speed. "Balls out," then, refers to running the engine at maximum speed.
The engineer was running the train at a "balls out" pace while trying to make up time.

Code.org's video with Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Will.i.am
Teaching children how to code
Coding is the language of the future, with the power to create and modify the computer programs and websites that increasingly shape our day-to-day lives. While millions of people in the United States spend hours each day engaged with interactive technologies, relatively few truly understand how they work; and fewer take an active role in developing software and websites.
Still, some organizations are advocating more be done to teach young people about computer programing and coding. It is no secret that younger generations, born into an age of smartphone apps and near-ubiquitous Internet access, tend to be more enthusiastic and adept at using new technologies than their parents and grandparents. The key word here is "using" technology, as opposed to creating new programs and reimagining existing processes.
Today's children tend to be passive consumers of software and web pages created for a profit by private companies. Currently only 1 in 10 U.S. schools teach children to code, according to nationwide research by programming advocate Code.org. If school-age children want to learn how to code themselves, it is usually by their own initiative and on their own time. Recent evidence suggests that a lack of students studying coding now could become a serious economic problem in the near future.
Code.org claims that computer programming jobs are growing at twice the national average, while less than 2.4% of college students graduate with degrees in computer science—fewer than 10 years ago. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that by 2020, the U.S. will create 1.4 million jobs in computer science related fields. If current trends continue, U.S. citizens with the necessary skills and experience will fill only 30% of these jobs.
This means that U.S. companies would be forced to outsource valuable coding jobs to India, China, Eastern Europe, and other countries with growing IT sectors, while thousands of Americans remain unemployed or stuck in low-skilled, low-wage positions. So what can the U.S. do to address this problem? In his latest State of the Union address, President Obama issued a "new challenge to redesign America's high schools for the demands of a high-tech economy", by focusing on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) classes and promoting partnerships with colleges and employers.
There could be advantages to promoting a focus on STEM subjects in general, and coding in particular, even earlier than high school. In a recent video from Code.org, many prominent technology advocates, including Bill Gates, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, and Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas, suggest integrating computer science into K-12 classes, striving to make the subject interactive and fun by using simple programming languages and initially focusing on game design.
Several independent groups are seeking to help address America's shortcomings in computer literacy. Elementary teachers across the country use the Logo program, originally developed by Seymour Papert in the 1960s and available for free online in four languages, to teach children the basics of coding by instructing a turtle to move across a computerized grid.
Engineers at MIT developed a basic programming language called Scratch to introduce beginners to coding concepts. Progressive nonprofit groups like Code For America seek to bring experienced coders from the private sector into lower-paying government jobs, in an effort to streamline operations and incorporate technological know-how into the public sector.
Governments and private organizations abroad are also embracing the need for early coding education. In Estonia, home to only 1.3 million people and one of the world's first e-enabled governments, a public-private partnership called ProgeTiiger will channel 70,000 euros into an effort to teach schoolchildren aged 7-19 to code. The pilot program will involve course materials and specialized training for teachers, and explore methods of tying programming concepts to traditional subjects like math and logic.
In the U.K., computer manufacturer Dell has partnered with the British initiative Apps for Good to send volunteers to schools, helping students develop their own smartphone apps to solve common problems. A nonprofit group called Code Club hosts a network of after school clubs run by professional software developers, which utilizes peer-to-peer learning as students stay in touch with each other and continue to share information and ideas.
In the U.S. and abroad, the benefits of teaching children to code extend beyond purely economic considerations. Children's personal and professional lives will increasingly be shaped by computer programs. Without the ability to code, they will become passive consumers at the mercy of programmers working for technology giants, unable to construct or meaningfully interact with the virtual reality that surrounds them. Like any language or skill, the ability and enthusiasm to code is best developed early in life. By incorporating computer and web programming into the public education system, the U.S. stands to benefit not only in terms of economic competitiveness, but also in the overall quality of life for its citizens.

I have seen this video before, anyway great article, congratulations! :)
By Crom, no! Keep government out of it!
Ah, those heady days of yore when there were 1-line-of-BASIC contests in BYTE magazine.
Funny, I heard the same kind of vows from the French government 30 years ago... It costed millions, if not billions, to equip most French schools with brand "new" 6809-based computers (6809 is/was a slow 8-bit MCU), obsolete before they arrived in 1985 (just when the 16/32bit 68000-based AtariST and Amiga came). It didn't work, teachers weren't trained enough for that and were somewhat wary of those new machines, and the kids who were interested in it already had more powerful systems at home.
Anyway, coding is one thing, designing an application is another. Coding someone else's design is lame and uninteresting, designing without the knowledge of what can really be done is even worse, not to say about current situation where good coders are supposed to implement crappy designs from "engineers" who haven't a clue of what the system can do... or not.
Designing an app from the idea to the core is fun, develops intelligence and capacity of deduction. Analysing existing systems and reverse-engineering would be the other side that never no-one thinks of, while everyone accepts the idea that imitation is a master key to knowledge.
Coding is one thing (and coding events in a phone app is definitely NOT coding, Java will give tricks look fancy, but never sane coding habits...), but programming's only a tiny piece of the puzzle, useless on its own.
Great post Rebecca, thank you. I see Scratch mentioned again. My son (7) loves building things, play with Lego and is good with 'math'. I'm going to introduce him to Scratch and see if he likes it.
teaching children the beauty and logic of coding indeed should be already on the basic school curriculae. INHO it is not coding per se but more the way one can use building blocks and stream logic.
24 Feb there was a great article on opensource.com https://opensource.com/education/13/2/livecode about LiveCode. the language resembles natural English and makes you remember HyperCard. thanks to donations LiveCode is also avaliable as open source. in fact it is a must-have for every self respecting Linux distro! http://www.runrev.com/products/Overview/
I am a student. I want to code a lot...but have no idea of where to start from and how to maintain....
Any Suggestion will be highly appreciable!!!!
Please help!!!!
In the old times, programming required you could read, and dedicate a lot of time to testing, checking, hacking, disassemble to see how things are bound together, while trying to fit everything in a project (don't be too modest...).
Therefore, you need to have a project of what you want to do, and figure out what you need to achieve it, tweak, find workarounds... and realize all you've done so far is wrong and you have to start over. That happens all the time, don't worry.
You should choose the language depending on the type of project (C is not too fit for database apps, unless you're writing a DB kernel) and not the other way round, and you may need many mockups in different languages before you choose the definitive one. Java is a good choice for a prototype, a proof of concept, never assume it's fit to the real world, it is seldom. Netbeans is a good start, handling many different languages.
After a few years of coding, designing, learning, you may catch that coding is nothing and comes last, but the Art you' put in it makes all the difference...
Thank You!!!!
recently I compared LiveCode with what I know of HyperCard language and it seems very much the same. so you could search the net for hypercard or hypertalk code examples or see if your 2nd hand bookshop has these huge HC 'bibles'. they contain lots of code and examples.
I'm 11 and I code and design little webpages. =) I think it would be fun to teach other children coding as well. It can really stretch your mind, and it helps you think when faced with a problem.

World Bank rep's parting shot: Dominicans rebuke yet accept corruption
Story Text & Photos © 2012 by Dominican Today
Jun 15 2012 17:59PM
Dominican Today
- SANTO DOMINGO- Outgoing World Bank representative Roby Senderowitsch on Friday called the country's corruption "often criticized yet accepted," but always harms the poorest the most. He said Dominican Republic is two countries, one where there's great social inequality reflected in misappropriated funds and another with great beauty, wealth and lots of good, hardworking people who advance toward development. There's no denying that Dominican Republic has a high economic growth, the largest in the region, but this hasnot become wellbeing for most families, there's no good quality of life. Senderowitsch said the middle class's search for individual solutions keeps it from a significant growth, because it doesn't react to society's ills, citing the education system failure, where only 50% of the youngsters reach 12th grade. The World Bank representative, speaking in his farewell reception, noted that when he speaks of those two countries, there're many people who do not like to live in it, complaining, and there're others who think their country is wonderful and deserves a better future. Among the country's most pressing challenges, Senderowitsch cited that 300 women die in childbirth each year, which in his view merits a review of the health system, and the levels of corruption, which penalizes the poor. He criticized the Government's tax exemptions to certain sectors, which he affirms most of those funds don't go where they're needed. In the free zones and tourism companies luxury buildings are exempt of taxes, but the working class housing is taxed. Read original at

UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State's new offense in 2012 was far different and more dynamic than in recent years, but coach Bill O'Brien said it was merely the "foundation" for what he ultimately wants to do.
"We have to add more because our opponents have seen it for a year," O'Brien said of expanding the playbook. "We're a different team. Whoever the quarterback is will be a different guy. We've got tight ends that have played a full year now and know what to do. Receivers. A different offensive line. Different guys playing running back. So we've added and we've adapted it to the type of team we have."
Whether that means more yards and points this season will depend heavily on who wins the starting quarterback job - Steven Bench, Tyler Ferguson or incoming recruit Christian Hackenberg - and how quickly he progresses.
Entering Wednesday's practice, the 10th of the spring, O'Brien said the reps between Bench and Ferguson have been split equally. He even had the precise statistic.
"Both guys have exactly 168 reps if you're looking at the 7-on-7s," the coach said.
Neither has a leg up in the race at this point.
"I can't say that one guy has really stood out above the other guy," O'Brien said.
Carter progressing
Tight end Kyle Carter is nursing a wrist injury that cut his productive 2012 season short, and he said he's recovering well from surgery.
"I will definitely be back by the beginning of the season," Carter said Wednesday before adding that he actually could play a game now if needed.
Carter is being held out of contact drills but is taking part in other practice activities. O'Brien said the tight end won the team's rehab award during the offseason training program.
As good as Carter was last season, O'Brien said he would be "a much improved player next year."
Penn State has tremendous depth at the tight end position. Carter caught 36 passes last year, and the Lions also have impressive sophomore Jesse James (15 catches), senior Matt Lehman (24 catches) and Adam Breneman, the No. 1 tight end recruit in the country.
Taking it easy
One thing O'Brien knows he can't do with his reduced roster is push the players too hard during the spring and risk injuries. That means limited tackling in practice.
"We don't tackle during the week," the coach said. "It's April 11, and Aug. 31 is when we need to be ready to tackle and have our best players ready to go. ... There's nothing more important this year, next year, the year after than the health of this football team. So we're going to try to do that and teach these guys how to practice on their feet."

Scientists have developed a gene expression panel that they claim can be used to accurately predict whether suspicious mouth lesions will become cancerous. The resulting test, called the quantitative Malignancy Index Diagnostic System (qMIDS), quantifies the expression levels of 14 genes associated with the FOXM1 cancer gene, and converts the measurements into a diagnostic score that indicates the risk of a lesion becoming cancerous. Its developers at Queen Mary, University of London, initially validated the panel on 359 head and neck cancer, dysplasia, and normal tissue specimens from 299 patients in the U.K. and Norway, and also confirmed the potential utility of the panel to diagnose (pre-)malignant human vulva and skin squamous cell carcinomas.
Histopathology represents the current gold standard for diagnosing cancer in lesions, such as those in the mouth, but the method is invasive, can require a fairly large tissue biopsy, and can take weeks to yield results that are inconclusive, explain Ahmad Waseem, M.D., Muy-Teck Teh, M.D., and colleagues. "A sensitive test capable of quantifying a patient's cancer risk is needed to avoid the 'wait and see' intervention. Detecting cancer early, coupled with appropriate treatment can significantly improve patient outcomes, reduce mortality, and alleviate long-term public healthcare costs."
In contrast, the qMIDS test requires a much smaller piece of tissue, and provides results in just three hours. The Queen Mary investigators say its trial in head and neck cancer demonstrated that the qMIDS exhibits a detection rate of up to 94%, and a false-positive rate as low as 1.3%. "We are excited about this new test as it will allow us to release patients with harmless lesions from regular follow-up and unnecessary anxiety, whilst identifying high-risk patients at an early stage and giving them appropriate treatment," comments consultant oral and maxillofacial surgeon Iain Hutchison, co-author of the team's published paper in the International Journal of Cancer, and founder of the Facial Surgery Research Foundation's Saving Faces Charity, which partly funded the study.
The authors describe qMIDS and the trial in a paper titled "Exploiting FOXM1-Orchestrated molecular network for early squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis and prognosis."

Tax benefits for US firms to support employee volunteers
06 October 2005, 20:39
by Kanti Kumar
In the United States, a new legislation is being introduced in the Congress "which encourages employers to continue to pay workers who volunteer in the aftermath of a disaster".
The Assistance for Individuals Delivering for America Act (AID for America Act), being introduced by Congresswoman Nita Lowey, would encourage employers to continue to pay the salary of deployed volunteers by creating federal tax credits worth 50% of an employee's salary up to $3000 per month. This proposal would apply to the disaster recovery efforts for federally designated disaster areas, including Hurricane Katrina. The credit would cover a maximum of three months and require individuals to volunteer a minimum of 40 hours per week over the course of their leave from employment. To receive the credit, employers would be required to provide full benefits.
"Volunteers give so much of themselves to help those in need. In the case of Hurricane Katrina and other catastrophic disasters, we need their expertise and training for weeks and months," said Lowey. "This legislation will help them continue to help others while also providing for their own families."
What do you think of companies being given incentives for encouraging their employees to volunteer? If they need further incentives to allow their staff to volunteer, where does that leave the companies vis-a-vis their corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the concept of volunteering being an act of free will, for the community's benefit?

Barborak opposes bill to regulate Internet cafes, says too restrictive
March 20, 2013
LISBON — State Rep. Nick Barborak found himself in the minority by voting against a bill that would place significant restrictions on Internet cafes....
Barborak states: "Obviously, they need regulated. There is no virtually no regulations and the state has an responsibility to regulate them and to make sure they are not taking advantage of anybody,"
It sounds as though "Big Brother" wants a "cut" of the profits?

I respectfully disagree.
What he brings to the team is slowing the development of Nyquist. Can't have that anymore.
Bert is effective with Pav and more importantly Pav likes playing with him.
He's helpful in the shootout and with us fighting for every point we can get, a shootout point can make or break the end of this season for us.
Last, we only have one player that anybody is even remotely intimidated by (Tootoo) and with Bert we'd have another. I like having a big, tough, guy on a line with Dats.
Bert brings a lot to this team. If you don't see that we're lacking in his absence, then we haven't been watching the same top 6 this season.

Digger wasps are continuing to multiply in numbers in the Lowcountry. At Possum's we used to get a few complaints in localized areas, now the numbers seem to be on the rise. One faithful reader of the 'Horticulture Hotline' sent me a 14 page letter describing the progression of damage to her yard. The presence of wasps is intimidating and unsafe.
Digger wasps start out as just a few holes in the yard. The holes are where the adults lay their eggs. In the spring, the young emerge. In the fall these wasps are now adults and they dig new holes and lay eggs for the following spring. In a very short time period, you can go from having a few digger wasps to thousands. All these holes can ruin your turf areas and the wasps make it less enjoyable to be in the yard.
Most of these wasps are predatory feeders. They eat grubs (should manage for moles and potential turf damage), small flying insects and ground dwelling insects (mole crickets, etc). The wasps sting the prey to death, then bring the dead prey back to the wasp's hole (nest), then lay an egg on it so the young has an instant food supply when it hatches.
All control should be done at dusk or at night when the wasps are in their hole. You need to plan on several applications of products to manage this pest. Since the wasps eat insects in your yard that you should be managing to certain thresholds, going after the wasp as well as their food source should benefit you greatly. Since the wasps like subsurface insects, Sevin would be a good product to start your management program.
If you just have a few holes, Delta Dust is a great product. At night treat in and around the hole. Some people will also "plug" the hole. At Possum's we sell the plugs, but you could possibly use something from around the house. Be sure to turn off the irrigation and check for rain.
If you have many of these uninvited guests, DeltaGard G or Turf Ranger could be used across the whole area. Remember they fly, so getting your neighbors involved is crucial. These products need to be watered in to get to the target. Turf Ranger recommends ½ inch of water. Water the product in slowly so the product soaks into the ground, and does not run off into a non-target area. Apply these products when you first see the wasps and until they are gone, waiting at least one week between applications.
Essentria IC3 is a National Organics Program compliant product that is labeled for wasps and other small flying insects (mosquitoes – yeah). IC3 is safe to use around water, kids, and pets. Consider using IC3 in your product rotation.
When treating always wear dark clothes and have a can of wasp freeze on your person. Digger wasps did not get there overnight, and they are not going to go away overnight.
Always read, understand and follow product label. The product label is a Federal Law.
Bill Lamson-Scribner can be reached during the week at Possum's Landscape and Pest Control Supply. Possum's has three locations 481 Long Point Rd in Mt. Pleasant (971-9601), 3325 Business Circle in North Charleston (760-2600), or 606 Dupont Rd, in Charleston (766-1511).

The month of May is filled with milestones, among them Mother's Day, college and university graduations, and perhaps most importantly for many Catholic families with young children, First Eucharist.
As I write, our parish directors and coordinators of religious education, our catechists, and our Catholic School teachers are preparing thousands of children for what is both a sacrament and a milestone in a life long journey of faith for the First Communicants and their family.
For a pastor, the Liturgy is one of joy. What a comfort it must be for him to look out on those eager little faces and to see their proud parents, grandparents, siblings and family friends just beaming. Of course, in many parishes, the number of children receiving First Eucharist is so large that the seats assigned to each family have to be limited. In other parishes, there are several Liturgies. This means a great deal of work for the pastors, directors, coordinators, catechists and teachers, not to mention the servers, church musicians, ushers and other parish staff members, but one rarely hears any complaints from them.
What Catholic, active or inactive, could fail to be reminded of her or her own First Eucharist? A young member of my family will receive First Eucharist on Saturday, May 8. When I learned of the date, I suddenly remembered that I received the Sacrament for the first time on a May 8 as well. Of course, that was more years ago than I care to admit but isn't it interesting how the date stayed with me? I couldn't tell you the date of my Confirmation.
Of course, many families will celebrate with a party afterward, but the wise ones will know that the key moment is the Liturgy. It's not about the pretty white dress and the new suit; it's not about the gifts, although they are lovely; and it's not about the restaurant or caterer. It's about Jesus coming to the child and that child's family.
In the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a Montessori-based catechetical method that is growing in popularity in our archdiocese, First Eucharist is preceded by a family retreat experience. After the First Eucharist liturgy, children don't rush off to party. Instead, they actually return to the atrium, that reserved special place in the parish where the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd always takes place, to ponder what has happened. If the families want to have parties that's fine, but they are asked to schedule them for a later date.
Interestingly clothes are not a big issue in the Catechesis because all the children wear simple white garments. Doesn't that make every parent who had to watch a daughter try on 50 dresses before falling in love with the most expensive one, just a little envious of the parents in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd?
Whatever catechesis our First Eucharist children are in, all of us in the Archdiocesan Catechetical Office, both at our central office and every one of our regional offices, join in the joy of these children, their families and their friends. May the rest of their lifelong journeys of faith be filled with joy and grace.

The spring of one's senior year of high school is memorable for many reasons. For some, it may be planning for the senior prom; for others, it's all about graduation and the festivities surrounding that milestone.
For me, while prom and graduation day were eagerly anticipated, it was another, more life-altering occasion that shaped the woman I ultimately became.
On a May afternoon in 1976, while thumbing through the most recent issue of Ms. magazine, I came across a column titled "Where Are They Now" that featured a little-known but remarkable Quaker woman by the name of Alice Paul. Paul was a bold and brilliant political strategist behind many unconventional, militant and, most important, successful strategies that, used across America a century ago, culminated in 1919 with the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, giving women the right to vote.
As a burgeoning young feminist, I was intrigued to learn that America's leading suffragist, the woman responsible for my soon-to-be-realized ability to cast my first presidential vote, and the author of the Equal Rights Amendment, was residing in a nursing home in Ridgefield, Conn., and welcomed correspondence.
That very afternoon, I sent the first letter of what was to be a yearlong correspondence with one of America's most significant civil rights heroes (she died in 1977).
It was the glorious Saturday in May, spent with the great Miss Paul, that added steel to my backbone and forever cemented my social justice ideology.
As we now approach the 100th anniversary of Paul's launch into history, I recall fondly her colorful stories. She recounted that on March 3, 1913, America witnessed for the first time an act of highly visible, public protest drawing dramatic attention to the fact that over half the nation had no voice in the election of the nation's president or Congress.
Paul, not yet 30 years old, helped organize the protest. Eight thousand women from across the country converged on Washington, D.C., to march from the Capitol to Constitution Hall the day before President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration. They carried purple, white and gold banners that proclaimed, "We demand an amendment to the Constitution of the United States enfranchising the women of the country." It was the largest such protest in history up to that time.
Embracing the Quaker values of equality and social justice, Paul turned on its ear that dismal national reality – 50.8 percent of the population could not choose its president or Congress – and devoted her every waking moment to ensure that American women received the basic human right to have a voice in their nation's government. America has never been the same.
Despite being imprisoned and beaten for her militancy, Paul never lost sight of her goal, to secure passage of the 19th Amendment. The battle for women's suffrage had languished for decades. Beginning in the mid-19th century, such notables as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton became the face for the suffrage movement, but, despite creating national momentum and interest, failed to make suffrage a reality.
It took a young, determined, courageous and selfless woman from Mount Laurel, N.J., to provide the strategic thinking, organizational skills and passion to secure passage of the 19th Amendment. Long before Mahatma Gandhi and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Paul used nonviolent protest to draw attention to women's civil rights and advance democracy.
Recounting her early days working in London with such notable British suffrage leaders as Emmeline and Sylvia Pankhurst, Paul reminisced about Emily Davison, a British suffrage martyr who died valiantly in the struggle for women's suffrage. It was Davison who urged Paul to return to the United States to "start a revolution." Paul recalled telling Davison, "I can't. I don't know anyone back home who would work with me. I'd be working all alone," to which Davison replied, "It takes only one woman."
For every woman reading this column today, please remember with gratitude that one woman – Alice Paul – who dedicated her life to making sure that you, your daughters and granddaughters have an equal voice in electing our nation's leaders – many of whom, thanks to Paul, are also remarkable women.
The things that change our lives often come when we are not looking for them. It could be a book we read; it could be a sermon we heard, or it could be the confidence expressed in us by a parent, teacher, or mentor. We would like to hear from women about their defining influences for Women's Voices. Send your essay (up to 700 words) to firstname.lastname@example.com and include your name, email and daytime phone number. Submissions must be by email.

Hands on: Creative SoundBlasterX Katana reviewNot yet rated
IFA 2016After having taken over TV sound, Creative Audio wants to bring the soundbar to desktop computing.
IFA 2016After having taken over TV sound, Creative Audio wants to bring the soundbar to desktop computing.
The monolithic Creative Sound Blaster Axx SBX 20 certainly has a unique look - as well as Bluetooth for phones.
Just because you've got a small set of speakers, you don't have to put up with tinny, bad quality music.
Logitech's Z623 speakers come with George Lucas-approved THX-certification. At £120 the Z623 certainly doesn't come cheap, but does it sound like it's worth all that extra money? The answer is a resounding yes.
There's no ignoring it - power up the Sony SRS-DB500 and a great ring of blue light pulsates around the multi-jog dial. Any thoughts of subtle ambiance for enjoying films and games goes out of the window - as well as a blinding blue glow.
Microlab's X16 2.1 speaker system includes customisable low and high tones, but those adjustments are made either through flimsy buttons on the subwoofer or via an infrared remote control.
The Logitech Mini Boombox utilises the smartphone's Bluetooth connection to become a rechargeable wireless speaker. The Logitech Mini Boombox charges via a USB cable and is small, with a simple - yet quite good looking - design.
iLuv's Boom Cubes are tiny speakers, but can produce a surprisingly big sound.
A powerful set of speakers that plug into your laptop's USB port

Heidelberg University formed a new advisory board to guide, promote, advise and support the School of Business' mission to become a premier business school.
The advisory board, dubbed the Berg Business Board, is composed of 11 executives, six of whom are from local businesses.
Those members include: Willard P. Heddles, CEO and present, Tiffin Metal Products; John Bolte, executive vice president of National Machinery LLC; Richard Focht, president and CEO of Seneca Industrial and Economic Development Corp.; John Detwiler, president and CEO of Seneca Regional Chamber of Commerce; Cynthia Dennison, senior director of finance of Mercy Tiffin Hospital and Mercy Willard Hospital; and Andrew J. Felter, president and chief operating officer of Webster Industries Inc.
Haseeb Ahmed, dean of the School of Business, said the board will advise on issues that impact the school's mission and strategy, and serve as a sounding board for new programs, initiatives and activities.
Heidelberg has a traditional liberal arts education, Ahmed said.
"We wanted to focus on a good foundation for business major students," he said.
The board is among programs such as the Heidelberg Business Institute, the Executive-in-Residence and Entrepreneur-in-Residence that add quality and relevance to the School of Business, to reinforce a forward-looking perspective and create a mindset that connects practice with theory, Ahmed said.
He said the board will benefit the surrounding community to help aid students with internships, job placement and, in the classroom, to get a feel on how to solve real-world problems and get an idea of what it will be like to work in a business atmosphere.
The board is to meet once each semester. Their first meeting was in September, where members elected officials, discussed the role of the board and the steps the board needs to take.
Heidelberg alumna Stacy Cox, '94, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Croghan Colonial Bank in Fremont, was chosen to be the first chairwoman of the board.
"This is very exciting for me personally," Cox said. "I started my university experience after I had been in banking for a couple of years and about the same time I was promoted into my first managerial role.
"As a result, much of my growth as a leader occurred as I was studying business at Heidelberg," she said. "This provided me with an opportunity to apply what I was learning in the classroom to my business role and vice versa."
The board is to meet again in February to put in place a strategic plan for the university and School of Business.
Cox summed up the board's future endeavors, stating the board will participate with students in networking events and fundraisers. Board members will serve as guest lecturers in classes to discuss the application of business theory in their daily business activities. There will be financial support, internships, field studies, mentoring arrangements and service opportunities for students to become directly connected with the business leaders in our communities. The board will partner with Heidelberg to continually improve the quality and relevance of the education it provides to business students.
"(In this economy), it is critical. We are competing daily with people around the world who are aggressively growing their businesses," Cox said. "In many cases, they are doing it more rapidly and for less cost than we are accustomed to seeing in the U.S. To remain competitive, business leaders need to be prepared to adopt the most current business practices and leverage the most current technologies.
"We have to have a global focus and readiness to change the basic knowledge and to adjust the curriculum to always move ahead," Ahmed said.
Heidelberg has put in place new programs in marketing, social media, research methodology and applied business economics, Ahmed said.
"The sole purpose is to provide education," he said.
As for the board, Ahmed was "pleased with the unprecedented willingness and excitement of the board to be involved with us."
The additional board members are: Mark Beliczky, managing director of Salus Sciences LLC in Baltimore, Md., who is vice chairman of the board; Scott Hicks, president and CEO, Clyde-Findlay Area Credit Union; Jerry Ross, executive director of the National Entrepreneur Center in Orlando, Fla.; and Cary Cox, manager of business development of Marathon Petroleum.
