1. About This Release
Parallels Server 4 for Mac has a host of major new features and improvements in comparison with version 3.0, making it a true next-generation virtualization solution suitable for organizations seeking to consolidate and optimize their IT infrastructure.
2. What's New
Parallels Server for Mac includes the following new features and enhancements:
- Parallels Server for Mac can be installed on Macs running Mac OS X Server v10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard.
- You can now create virtual machines running the following guest operating systems: Mac OS X Server v10.6 Snow Leopard, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2.
- The overall stability of Parallels Server for Mac has been significantly improved since the previous release, especially the support for running Mac OS X Server v10.6 Snow Leopard in virtual machines.
- The installer now checks for available updates before installing Parallels Server for Mac and installs the most recent version.
- Parallels Server for Mac supports the creation of virtual networks. A virtual network acts as a binding interface between a network adapter on a virtual machine and the corresponding physical or VLAN adapter on the Parallels server, and allows you to include virtual machines in different networks.
- The functionality of Parallels Management Console, the main cross-platform tool for managing Parallels Server for Mac and virtual machines, has been significantly improved and enhanced since the previous release.
- A new "prl_disk_tool" utility is included in Parallels Server for Mac. This utility allows you to resize and compact virtual disks in your virtual machines.
- A function displaying the disk space and network usage of your server and virtual machines has been integrated into Parallels Management Console.
- You can now create consistent, full, and incremental backups of your virtual machines and store them on both local and remote servers.
- The following migration types are supported in Parallels Server for Mac:
* Migrating virtual machines between Parallels servers, including "warm migration," when the running virtual machine is moved to another Parallels server, without any interruption in service.
* Migrating Linux and Windows physical servers to virtual machines.
* Migrating Containers to virtual machines.
* Migrating third-party virtual machines (VMware, Microsoft Virtual Server, and Virtual Box) to Parallels virtual machines.
This functionality is available in both the "prlctl" utility and in Parallels Management Console.
- Most of a virtual machine's network settings (IP address, network mask, and default gateway) can now be configured from the physical server using both the "prlctl" utility and Parallels Management Console. For this feature to work, Parallels Tools must be installed on the virtual machine.
- You can now execute arbitrary commands inside virtual machines by running them from the physical server. For this functionality to work, Parallels Tools must be installed on the virtual machine.
- You can now gain access to the command line of a virtual machine and execute various commands in it directly from the Parallels server, without needing to log in to and provide administrative credentials for the guest OS.
- Parallels Server for Mac supports the setting of user passwords for virtual machines from the physical server using both the "prlctl" utility and Parallels Management Console. For this functionality to work, Parallels Tools must be installed on the virtual machine.
- The Express installation mode has been enhanced with the possibility to install Windows 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, and Fedora operating systems in "unattended" mode.
- You can now change Windows unique security identifiers (SIDs) when cloning a virtual machine or deploying a virtual machine from a template. For this feature to work, Parallels Tools must be installed on the virtual machine.
3. Bugs Fixed
- It is impossible to install and use Parallels Server 4 for Mac on servers running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
- It is impossible to install and use Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Server inside virtual machines.
- A virtual machine may consume a lot of CPU time, even if it is idle.
- Resuming a suspended virtual machine with Windows may result in a BSOD on this virtual machine.
- Reverting to a snapshot of a Windows virtual machine may result in a BSOD on this virtual machine.
- Connecting to a Parallels server using Parallels Management Console on a remote computer may lead to a high CPU usage on this Parallels server.
- The performance of WikiServer on a virtual machine needs to be improved.
4. Known Issues and Restrictions
- Encoding video with Podcast Producer on a virtual machine may take much more time than on the host operating system.
- Servers running Mac OS X Leopard Server may crash while running several huge virtual machines. The problem does not exist on servers with the x64 version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
- Sometimes, Parallels Management Console may stop working when connecting to the Parallels server. To work around this problem, restart Parallels Management Console.
- A virtual machine with a large amount of RAM may hang when installing the SUSE operating system on it.
- It may be impossible to connect to a virtual machine using Parallels Management Console after stopping it forcibly or resetting the virtual machine. To work around this problem, restart Parallels Management Console.
- An empty virtual machine cannot be backed up.
- If a Windows virtual machine cannot be shut down gracefully (e.g., due to some unfinished work), it will be forcibly stopped after a while.
- SmartMouse may not work properly in virtual machines running SLES 11.
- Updating Mac OS X 10.5.3 to 10.5.8 on a virtual machine may take a long time.
- A kernel panic may occur on a Mac OS X virtual machine after resuming it. To work around this problem, use the following system flag: "kernel.paravirt.enable=0."
- It is impossible to write files to the FAT32 virtual disks mounted to the Mac OS X host operating system.
- A number of compatibility problems exist with Parallels Server 3 for Mac snapshots.
- The license installed on the Parallels Server may be lost after upgrading this server from Parallels Server 3.0 for Mac to Parallels Server 4 for Mac.
- You may have problems using Parallels Mounter to manage virtual machines whose disks are formatted with the HFS+ file system. For example, you may fail to rename or delete folders and files on such disks.
- Parallels Mounter does not support the management of dynamic and LVM disks.
- Parallels Mounter does not work on servers running 64-bit versions of Mac OS.
- You may have problems managing virtual machines that reside on Network File System (NFS) shares.
- Parallels Transporter does not support the migration of computers whose disks are formatted with ext4.
- You may fail to start a virtual machine migrated using Parallels Transporter if the original system was incorrectly shut down before the migration.
- Parallels Transporter can migrate bootable LVM partitions and dynamic disks as data disks only.
- Parallels Transporter does not support the migration of third-party virtual machines with SCSI disks.
- Sometimes, Parallels Transporter may fail to convert virtual machines created with VMware Fusion or VMware ESX.
- A virtual machine may crash after hibernating. To work around this problem, suspend the virtual machine instead of hibernating it.
- Dynamic disks of a backed up virtual machine may become offline after restoring the virtual machine.
- The "prl_disk_tool" utility does not support the resizing and compacting of dynamic and LVM disks.
- The upgrade from Parallels Server 3.0 to Parallels Server 4 for Mac may fail. To work around the problem, stop all virtual machines on the server, remove Parallels Server 3.0 from the server, and then perform a clean installation of Parallels Server 4 for Mac.

The pre-credit prologue has a band of armed gunmen stealthily closing in on a house, followed by an explosion of guns and bombs that lasts for several minutes. The leader of the gang, Sultan (Pankaj Tripathi), keeps shouting out for a certain Faisal who is supposedly hiding inside. When we finally see the inhabitants of the house huddled together in one corner, they comprise three women, one old man and a youth whose phone rings to the tune of "Nayak nahin, khalnayak hoon main". He doesn't pick it up. The gunmen exit and find themselves confronted by a police post. The credits roll and we will have to wait for the second part to make sense of this scene.
The first half hour of this part establishes the central crisis -- the struggle to helm the coal mafia of Dhanbad/Wasseypur from the pre-independence days starting with Shahid Khan (Jaideep Ahlawat, superb), a brigand who steals food grains from trains in the name of a dreaded dacoit and later starts working for the local thekedar Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia in a sparkling debut). When the British leave, the ownership of the mines passes on to the hands of Indian warlords like Singh who exploit the workers even more ruthlessly than the imperial masters. This long voiceover mapping the history of the region may appear boring to some, but for me, it's fascinating to watch the genesis of a socio-political conflict.
Shahid dies and his young son Sardar (Manoj Bajpayee), convinced that he was bumped off, swears to avenge his death. Shahid was a brave-heart, his son is ruthless yet charming in his own dysfunctional way, and a compulsive womaniser -- a fact his firebrand wife Najma (Richa Chadda) recognises and gives him hell for. The scene where she catches him red-handed at a brothel and beats him up is hilarious.
Sardar is well and away on his mission to decimate Singh and gradually starts breaking into his stronghold. While both characters are vicious, neither is given more importance or weight than the script demands. The lines between good and evil are too blurred for anyone to become larger-than-life. Though Singh does exude a quiet menace as a don-turned-politician who thrashes his own son publicly and is too wily to be readily upstaged.
As the film progresses, the screenplay picks up pace with Sardar flitting between building his parallel empire and impregnating his women -- he falls in love with a girl called Durga (Reemma Sen) while in hiding and marries her, abandoning his wife and sons for a few years. Neither woman plays victim -- Najma packs her young boys off to earn a living, but doesn't allow them to sully their father's name by sleeping with the enemy; Durga gets her own back for being abandoned, after she refuses to share a home with her rival.
The sons grow up with angst and admiration in equal measure as the latter part shifts focus to their initiation into the family business. The younger son Faisal (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is clearly the Michael Corleone figure who will emerge protagonist in Part 2. Siddiqui has such an arresting screen presence, it's hard to take your eyes off him -- think the Bachchan persona minus the height or the voice and his performance assumes even greater value.
Gangs of Wasseypur doesn't work as an original story -- in fact, it's Kashyap's most mainstream film -- but as a sophisticated retelling of a familiar tale in an authentic setting, complete with dialogue, styling and music that evokes the earthiness and raunchiness of the Indian hinterland. Imagine a song with lyrics like "Teri keh ke loonga" composed to peppy folk rhythms and used when Sardar first sets off on his mission in a jeep along dusty roads or "I am a hunter", a grossly offensive lyric sung by a band of hippies on a train providing the backdrop for a cat-and-mouse game involving a cache of guns, an informer and the police.
Sneha Khanwalkar's music is simply sensational and together with Kashyap she turns a film about bloodletting and vengeance into a rousing musical. And one that, despite its 160-minute running time, leaves you begging for more.

The round table Q&A interview session that follows our gargantuan hands-on with the English language version of Final Fantasy XIII is strange. Normally in these things, questions centre on game mechanics, features, future plans, downloadable content and the like. But this one's different.
Most of the questions put to producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama ask, essentially, why FFXIII is so linear, why you can only control one character during combat, and why it doesn't have loads of villages to visit and NPCs to talk to. The result is that Kitase and Toriyama spend most of their time defending the game they've created, rather than explaining what it's about. But they do so with a smile - the development legends have clearly been asked these questions before.
"As you know, the battle system of this game is brand new, even though it is based loosely on the Active Time Battle - as has been the case for years - but it's like an evolved version." Kitase explains.
"Because of the newness of the system, we wanted to allow each player the time to adapt to the new system so that they can learn how the game works and what you can do, in a more natural way. That's the intention behind this criticism of it being linear.
"In the second half of the story, once you get down to Gran Pulse [chapter 11], it's more open field gameplay. So you need to be patient, really."
Patient, huh? That's not a quality you'd normally associate with gamers. Well, maybe we can be patient, if, at the end of the first half of the game, it breaks free from its shackles and evolves into the GREATEST JRPG OF ALL TIME! And by that we mean, there will be loads of villages to explore and NPCs to talk to, right? RIGHT?
This time, it's Toriyama's turn. "The world of Gran Pulse; basically there are several towns and lots of NPCs there, but not that many, so quite a small number of towns. But the main attraction of Gran Pulse is the missions; there are quite a few missions available there. And in many of them you have to take on a boss which is more powerful than the last boss of the main story, so it's quite challenging."

A few unhappy endings occurred around Philadelphia International Airport Wednesday, and it had nothing to do with missed connections.
Police arrested nine people in a prostitution sting using Craigslist and City Paper advertisements to target hookers who frequent airport hotels.
Capt. Dan MacDonald III, commanding officer of the 12th District, which covers Southwest Philadelphia and the airport, said that there's been an uptick in crime at airport hotels over the last six to eight months that can be linked to prostitution.
"This violence has resulted in numerous robberies, assaults and one homicide all directly related to prostitution going on at Philadelphia airport hotels," he said.

Sirius & Our Starseed Connection
Sirius & Our Starseed Connection
by Starseedjourney
July 5, 2008, Comments(1)
Extraterrestrials & UFO's
Sirius & our starseed connection- by Lia Scallon
The planet Sirius is the brightest star in heavens. As a binary star system, Sirius is composed of a bright star, called Sirius A and, around it, in an elliptical orbit, moves Sirius B, the first ever, identified dwarf star. Sirius B orbits around Sirius A, every 50 years, causing Sirius to wobble and appear therefore to sparkle more brightly than any other star. All stars sparkle, but none like this one!
Long before scientists ever knew of its existence, and long before any equipment existed that could verify its position in the heavens, many of the ancient civilizations knew that behind the brilliant star that is Sirius, lay a dark, shadow star - a black star that is much smaller and more intense. The records of these ancient civilisations, as far back as 3,000 years ago, include drawings of the movement of Sirius and it's dwarf, Sirius B. These ancients believed that Sirius was the source of all life, of all energy, and yet detailed knowledge of Sirius and its dwarf star, has only recently been discovered by modern science.
Sirius was at the core of the calendar, texts and sacred knowledge of the ancient, advanced civilisations of Lemuria, Atlantis and the Land of Sumer. The sacred knowledge of the Dogon tribe in northern Africa and aboriginal and indigenous tribes in Australia, South America and Asia also revolves around knowledge of this star.
In Egypt too, much revolved around Sirius, as the gateway and centre of all that is sacred. As far back as the very remote periods of Ancient Egyptian history, the Goddess Isis has been associated with the star Sirius. Specific pyramids were temples to Isis and to Sirius - Her gateway and portal. Sirius, like Isis, was called the Great Provider. The annual rising of the star Sirius brought the inundation of the River Nile, which, in turn, brought fertility, and therefore wealth, to the land of Egypt. It marked the beginning of the Egyptian Sothic Year – the Egyptian calendar.
This heliacal rising of Sirius, as it is known, occurs when Sirius rises on the horizon, together with the sun, and remains visible for a few moments, until it fades with the advance of dawn. The heliacal rising of Sirius takes place on July 26th. It is concurrent with the annual opening of the Sirius stargate known as the Lion's gate - called the Lion's Gate because the Sun moves into Leo at this time. The constellation of the Lion, guards the entrance to the Sirius Stargate. The energy of the Lion's Stargate continues through until August 12th. The potent energies of change that flood in at this time are then available for us to use, for the rest of the year.
The Great pyramid of Cheops, in Egypt, is also aligned to the rise of Sirius. Chambers found within the pyramid are strategically positioned in reference and deference to Sirius. All the mythologies of Isis, Osiris, and Horus in Egypt - and mythologies in the more ancient Land of Sumer - are based upon this Sirius Connection.
Lazaris in the channelled work, 'The Sirius Connection' says this:- "Stars and planets dot your heavens. Many are vortexes where energy enters your universe and where energy leaves your universe. The grandest of these vortexes is Sirius – the Vortex of the Goddess".
1994 saw two incredible astronomical and celestial occurrences - the Grand Union of Sirius - when Sirius A and Sirius B came as close to each other as they can be - and the re-positioning of Pluto which came into exact alignment with it. Such an event had not occurred in more than 90.000 years and will not reoccur for another 90,000 years. When this rarest of rare alignments took place, the Vortex of Sirius opened.
Lazaris says: - "The Vortex of the Goddess through which all energy enters and leaves your Universe, through which all the Archetypal energy flows, through which your Higher Self's energy enters, has opened wide and opened full".
"When the Vortex opened it filled you with Light, a Light that will change, grow, transmute and transform you. Through it flowed the Light and Love that can allow you to transcend what has been, and to create what will be. It is through the gateway represented by the brilliant blue-white star Sirius - that all the energy enters your universe - the energy that is your very Soul and Spirit, the energy of your Higher Self".
"This is a time of new birth and of new life. It is the time of the grandest transmutation, the grandest transformation and yes, of the grandest transcendence that has ever occurred. The Goddess is returning and She brings with Her a Light, a Light that once lit, cannot be extinguished."
Artwork by Lise Nilsen
In her book 'Union', which contains teachings she has received from a group of Ascended Beings known as the Union of Love and Light, author and channel Jennifer Starlight writes: -
'Sirius is the guardian and the protector of your souls. It is the all-encompassing Mother; it is the birth canal, if you choose, of your universe, of your soul's experience into this earthly realm. This star nation grounded its energy on the earth plane through your ancient Egyptian civilization. You shall feel the love of Sirius through the waters of your body and through your emotions. For understand, Spirit communicates to you through feeling and you feel the communication firstly in your soul'.
Sirius is known as the watery blue planet and is believed to be the home of those magnificent high vibrational beings - dolphins and whales. These beautiful creatures, anchor the vibration of Unconditional Love into our third dimensional planet. The dolphins, who embody the essence of joy and playfulness, help us to reconnect to joy. Our separation from Source has resulted in a loss of our connection to the joy of the Divine. The dolphins are here now to help us recapture that lost sense of joy.
In a poem from her book 'The Star-Borne', Solara describes how that loss of connection happened…
The Star-Borne
In the Beginning
There was
But one Star,
The Star That We Are.
Merged as One,
We shimmered and rotated
In the vast empty Heavens.
Each spark,
Each glowing ray,
Was the manifestation
Of our combined Essence.
Our Star
Was one being,
Containing everything.
Critical mass.
Our Star
Then exploded
Starry fragments
Of itself
The Endless
And through.
Cascading fragments
Cast outwards
Upon Heaven's currents,
Star waves
Churning with
Debris of Star.
Split apart
The sky.
And ever
We held together
As best we could,
Our vision
On the One Star
That we had been,
That we truly are.
Rent apart
The mandalic display
Like fireworks
Illuminating the sky
In their brief
Moment of glory.
Further apart…
We could
No smaller.
We developed
Into individualized
Units of consciousness
This is termed
The Birth
Of the Angels
This could be seen as an explanation for why so many of us are drawn to the stars - why so many of us do not feel quite at home on this planet. In the beginning, we were One Star. We experienced total, perfect union with The One. After our Star exploded, in what some refer to as the Big Bang, we separated into tiny fragments of Star - into what Solara calls our Golden Star Angels, although, in truth, we never separated from the One.
When the Call came to descend into matter, we, as Golden Angels, chose to answer the Call. However, it was not necessary for us to descend into the third density with our full Presence. All that we had to do was to send a small shaft of Golden Light earthward and anchor it therein. This shaft of Light was like a tiny Golden Beam or Ray of Light from our Star of One.
This minuscule starseed of our true greatness was the part of us, which embedded itself into matter. This is the tiny part of us that has lived out the cycle of repeated incarnations on planet Earth. Hence, we often feel homesick, alone and sometimes filled with sorrow and despair. Our souls are yearning to be reunited, into the fullest union again with the One.
Another message in Solara's book, supports the channelled teaching in Jennifer Starlight's 'Union', which describes Sirius is the Birth canal of our universe. Solara writes:-
"As we arrived here from what we shall term, Beyond the Beyond, we chose an individual entry point or midway station which indicated our preferred mode of expression. These Stargates could be perceived as separate notes upon a unified scale, or as fingers upon the same hand. Many of them are familiar to us as Sirius, Arcturus, Orion, Antares, Pleiades, Andromeda, Aldebaron, Polaris etc. Some of us have felt as if these Stargates were our homes. Although we have long immersed ourselves in their vibratory frequencies, finding great solace in their familiarity, often returning to them between earthly embodiments, they are not our place of origin. They simply represent our gateway to the Beyond".
"So many times have we made the journey back and forth through the dimensional doorways of these Stargates, that we even do it when we are asleep. It has been something many of us do with great ease, whether consciously or unconsciously. Some of us have expanded our consciousness sufficiently to enable us to travel through more than one major Stargate, obtaining a comfortable sense of being at home in several Stargates. We have developed the ability to tune into different frequencies of energy and express them whenever we choose. This familiarity with more than one major Stargate, helps free us from a primary identification with just one Stargate. It enables us to stretch our awareness to the outer boundaries of this dimensional universe. As our consciousness ever expands, we start to realize that our true being is too vast to be contained solely within dimensions one through six'.
To conclude this little exploration of Sirius and our starseed connections, here are some beautiful thoughts that I have compiled from the pages of www.spiralgoddess.com. May they bring to you confirmation and reassurance that you are indeed part of the great All That Is. Each and every one of us is an integral part of this vast, eternal universe - absolutely connected to each other and divinely connected to Source.
Star Dust
The heavens are alive with the great cosmic dance of becoming.
Galaxy upon Galaxy in infinite space, dances with creation
And everywhere, there are expressions of the Great Goddess
To us on Earth,
Her essence is green mingled with blue.
Her milk is Star Dust . . . offered to all creation
The ceaseless cosmic winds are Her breath
Atoms are the cells of Her blood
Her form is All Things
When we look to the sky, we are our ancestors,
Eternal humans gazing into the endless expanse.
The millions of Stars that shower us with their energy
Are the same stars that they looked upon.
The same Stars that saw them paint sacred caves.
The same Stars that shone as they sculpted the ancient Venus figures.
These are same Stars that helped them to see what was Sacred.
Stars that bathed the Moon, and Goddesses of our ancestors
In eternal energy and light.
Look to the Stars . . . they are the doorway to timelessness
They will help you to know the eternal moment that is Now
Breathe in the Star Dust and reclaim simply "Being Alive"
Listen to their silence voices, speaking through light . . .
Whispering that your life is Sacred . . . and timeless
All life is Sacred and each moment is precious
Eternity is Now
I allow my Spirit to soar Free
I am a creation of the Universe
Eternal in my Essence.
In time . . . when my life wanes
Returning my body to Star Dust….
Held in the body of the Great Goddess
I will again be the Energy of Life

Time's Up!Monday, January 7th, 2013
Want to see something pretty amazing?
The emblem, of course, is the DullHawk flag, made by a man very familiar hereabouts. I'm the proud possessor of a full-size version. You can get various sizes of the flag and a pretty cool tee shirt from Kent "DullHawk" McManigal himself. NFI on my part, but wouldn't it be great really to see it everywhere? And hear that buzzing?
I'm going to add links to it to today's earlier post where I talk about time. Should have thought to do that in the first place.

Martha Linnia Johnson, 97, a longtime resident of Mount Vernon passed away Sunday, December 15, 2013.
She was born September 18, 1916 in Harper, Washington, the only child of Swedish immigrants, Carl and Tillie (Svensson) Berg. Martha was very proud of her full Swedish ancestry.
At an early age she moved with her family to Long Beach, Washington where they started a cranberry farm. Martha worked on the farm along side her parents, until she left home to obtain a higher education, after high school. Martha graduated from Ilwaco High School in 1935. She attended Wilson's Business College in Seattle and after graduating, returned to Ilwaco to become a longtime employee of West Coast Power and Light (later known as PUD #1).
Martha married Albert Johnson on January 8, 1940, and the couple moved to Mount Vernon in 1948, where Albert went to work as herdsman for the owner of Dynes Guernsey Farm on Hoag Road. The land on which this farm was located was later purchased by the Salem Lutheran Church of Mount Vernon. The new church now stands there.
Martha and Albert's family began to grow in 1948 when their first child, Allen Lee (their angel unaware) was born. In 1951, Albert and Martha stared their own farm and built a home on Britt Slough Road in Mount Vernon. Martha had fond memories of the bicycle rides she and Albert enjoyed on the Dike road near their farm. New joy came into Martha and Albert's life in 1953 when two little brothers, Dennis and Dale joined their family. Their arrival inspired the Johnson's to name their farm Denny-Dale Farm, which would become the legal name of their thriving enterprise. With her growing family, Martha was soon following a hectic schedule of activities for and with the boys who were members of 4H and Future Farmers of America, which meant running to meetings with them and annual participation in the Skagit County Fair and the State Fair in Puyallup, showing their animals. The boys enjoyed this immensely and were proud of the many ribbons they won. After having lovingly and successfully raising their sons, Albert and Martha reached out to others and with compassion and love took in foster children to care for and to introduce them to healthy farm living.
When children no longer needed her attention, Martha decided it was time to go back to work. She was employed by Troutman's Emporium and retired from there after twenty-five years, at the age of 81. She was happy showing and modeling in what she called her "Senior Show" for elderly customers. Martha, with here happy smile and sunny disposition, found time for serving others in many ways.
She was a member of and attended Salem Lutheran Church for more than fifty years, teaching Sunday school, serving on the Care Team, and volunteering in any way she could to serve her beloved church and its members. Martha's hobbies and interests were many. She was a member of the Washington State Grange, Vasa Lodge, Hospital Guild, a bridge club, Red Hat, and Salem Care Team. She volunteered at the Friendship House and the Skagit Valley Hospital. Her most avid interest was in people with special needs and the organizations that served them such as
Special Olympics
, Service Alternatives and Josephine Sunset Home.
After Albert's death in 1993, Martha stayed on in her home until 1999 when she moved to Heather Village in Mount Vernon. She enjoyed many years in her new home, making new acquaintances, visiting with old friends and keeping active in her church and in other interests. Allen, who happily moved into Life Care Center of Mount Vernon continued to be her top priority.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved husband of 53 years, Albert; her daughter, Trudy Ann; sons, Dennis in January, 2007 and Allen in March, 2012.
She is survived by one son, Dale; grandchildren, Jeremy Johnson and Jana of Longview, Linnia and her husband, Scott Sayers of Bellingham, and Mark Johnson and Valerie of Mount Vernon. She is also survived by her 4 great-grandchildren (her greatest joys), Tate and Owen Sayers, Mia Marie Johnson, and Isabel Johnson; her great friend and the mother of Jeremy and Linnia, Rolleen Johnson; as well as well as a host of friends who will surely miss her, and her smile.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2013 at 1:30 pm at Salem Lutheran Church.
Memorials may be sent to the Friendship House, 922 South Third St, Mount Vernon, WA 98273 or to Salem Lutheran Church, 2529 N. LaVenture Rd, Mount Vernon, WA 98273.

Quick Thoughts While Pondering My Blog's Future
One of the things that amazes me, living as I do with a teacher, is that parents hold their children to such incredibly low standards, work hard to undercut teachers' authority in the classroom (and in the grade book), and make excuses for their lovely little angels. Then they wonder why those same children grow up only marginally skilled and completely unprepared for the difficulties of the real world.
I'm not in the habit of making excuses for the schools--from an overly insular culture afraid of outside influence and on to unions that protect teachers who are unfit for their positions, there's a lot to be cranky about in public education--but I hear stories daily that have convinced me that the biggest stumbling block to many of these kids' success happens to be their parents. I wonder who taught these parents that their kids should be protected from the deserved consequences of their decisions.
If anything, I continue to feel that the kids should be held to a higher standard than that imposed by the teachers in DG's school--standards that many of the parents think impose undue burdens on their kids. Burdens like turning their homework in on time, doing their own work, and failing when they won't even show a basic level of effort. Not competency, mind you, but effort.
Grow up, parents, you're not doing your damned job.

Origins: The sturdy denim was originally a fabric called 'Serge' from the city of Nîmes in France. It was called Serge de Nîmes and eventually got shortened to 'denim' (de Nîmes). The word 'jeans' comes from the French phrase bleu de Genes, meaning the blue of Genoa to indicate the jeans worn by Italian sailors from Genoa that were dyed blue with the Indigo.
Evolution: Jeans was originally worn by slaves who worked in plantations. In 1853, during the SanFrancisco gold mining rush, Levi Strauss started supplying clothes to miners who wanted trousers that would not tear easily. In 1872 Jacob Davis had the idea of using metal rivets to fasten the pockets to the pants and worked out a deal by which Levi Strauss patented it and thus was born the copper riveted Jeans. The 'Cowboys' in the Hollywood western movies popularized Jeans in the 1930s. In the 1950s Jeans became the symbol of teen rebels. In the 1960s the hippie culture brought painted and embroidered Jeans into fashion and soon Jeans became a symbol of western opulence. It is only from the 1970s that Jeans actually became an affordable comfort wear, popular across the world.
Fabric and the Garment: Even though the cotton twill fabric, i.e. Denim, has been almost synonymous with Jeans pants for a long time, both the fabric and the garment have evolved. Jeans is now made with different materials and in different colours and denim has also expanded into other garments like shorts, shirts, jackets, wallets, bags, hats and even parkas . Denim signifies casual, trendy and relaxed fabric and we at Yepme.com think it is an essential fabric in a man's casual wear wardrobe.

To the Editor:
Mr. President:
On April 26, I received a solicitation for funds for membership in the Democratic National Committee. Although the request was not out of line, $25 was the lowest amount printed on the pledge card.
That was not the only mail I received. American Express sent me a bill also. It was for the billing cycle ending April 20. It contained five charges totaling $204.78. All were for gasoline.
Which one gets paid will be a coin toss. Heads: American Express gets paid. Tails: DNC doesn't.
Michael Stefanco
Hmmmm: pay for gas or donate to the DNC?

Bob and Walter Tenor (played by, respectively, Damon and Kinnear) are conjoined twins, connected at the hip. Though happy flipping burgers on Martha's Vineyard, they head to Hollywood to pursue Walter's dream of becoming a star. He's soon cast as Cher's co-star (yes, the real Cher) in a TV show.
There may be a hilarious comedy in conjoined twins, but the flat Stuck isn't it. Though written and directed by real-life brothers Peter and Bobby Farrelly (There's Something About Mary), it is too sentimental to score high on the funny meter. (PG-13)

After attacking a woman who was hiking in an Olinda pine forest earlier this month, a pit bull has been deemed dangerous, according to a notice from the Maui Humane Society.
The dog's owner was given the written notice Tuesday of the dangerous dog designation, which carries immediate restraint and confinement requirements, said Maui Humane Society Chief Executive Officer Jocelyn Bouchard.
She said the pit bull, an unspayed 1-year-old female who weighs about 70 pounds, is being kept in the Upcountry area.
The attack occurred at about 5:30 p.m. Aug. 2 while Upcountry resident Kathy Munsen was hiking with her 5 1/2-pound Pomeranian puppy, Bijoux, at Waihou Springs State Forest Reserve at the top of Olinda Road. Munsen said her dog was leashed, but then several people arrived along with the unleashed pit bull that charged up a hill toward Munsen and her puppy.
She was holding up her little dog to keep the animal from being attacked by the pit bull when it chewed on Munsen's arms, at one point having half of Munsen's forearm in its mouth. Eventually, the woman who owns the pit bull showed up to pull the animal off them, Munsen said.
After being helped out of the forest by a visiting nurse who happened to be hiking in the area, Munsen was taken by ambulance to Maui Memorial Medical Center. She required 20 stitches to her right arm and up to 15 stitches on her left arm.
Because the Maui Humane Society still is investigating possible citations against the pit bull owner, Bouchard said Tuesday, the agency wasn't releasing the owner's name. The name, age and residence of a suspect become public when an arrest is made, regardless of whether the person is being charged.
Bouchard said that when a dog is deemed dangerous, the owner must comply with "a set of very-rigid requirements, including having the dog spayed or neutered."
The dog immediately must be confined to the owner's home in a closed structure, preventing it from leaving, or it is kept outdoors in a locked, fenced-in area that's fully enclosed to prevent escape, according to Maui County Code. When outdoors, the dog must be with someone 18 years of age or older, kept on a leash no more than 3 feet long and muzzled as well to prevent biting.
Within 10 days of the notice, the owner also must post signs saying "beware of dangerous dog" in a prominent and clearly visible location at the access point to the property and in the structure where the dog is confined. Also, within 10 days of the alleged incident, the owner must obtain liability insurance of at least $50,000 to cover medical and veterinary costs resulting from potential future actions of the dog.
Within 30 days, the owner is required to permanently identify the dog by microchip and also must spay or neuter the dog at the owner's expense.
The owner has 10 days to dispute the dangerous dog designation, which would result in a hearing by the Maui County Animal Control Board.
Munsen said the owner told her the dog hadn't attacked a dog or person before.
But Victoria Kray said she believed the same pit bull with the same owner tried to attack her dog in June and recognized it from a recent Maui News article on the Munsen attack.
Kray, who was living in Kuau at the time along the north shore, said her 18-pound female Cockapoo, Neko, was in the yard relieving herself while her owner was nearby.
"We start walking toward the door," Kray told The Maui News. "All of a sudden, I hear a dog come barreling around the corner from across the street. She tried to attack my dog."
Kray said a student of the dog owner, a teacher, was parked near the house and it was the student who pulled the pit bull away.
"The dog was throwing itself at the front door to get at the screen," Kray said. "My dog got away unscathed. That was a close call."
Eventually, Kray said, the owner came over and pulled the dog away.
Because her dog was not injured, Kray said, she didn't report the attack back in June.
But she said she recently called the Maui Humane Society and left a message to try to report the incident after learning about the attack on Munsen.
Bouchard said the agency encourages people to report such incidents when they occur.
"We do have people that will call us and say, 'I don't want this person cited. I just want a record of it, if there's another bite,' " Bouchard said. "That would give us more evidence. Then, we have something on record. Obviously, if we don't know about it, there's not a lot we can do."
Animal control officers have been making random checks on the pit bull that was deemed dangerous at different times of the day, Bouchard said. "The dog has been secured every time we check," she said.
She said there's sometimes a "spike" in reports about unleashed dogs. She said the agency and the county did receive calls about loose dogs at Baldwin Beach Park after a news report came out about the fatal attack by a Rottweiller on a much smaller terrier on July 2, near the entrance to the Paia park.
"Certainly, unleashed dogs are a hot topic right now," Bouchard said. "If the dogs were leashed, these incidents almost without fail would be eliminated."
A first-time leash law violation carries a minimum $50 fine, with penalties increasing for any subsequent violations. Fines also can be ordered for a dog-attack citation, which requires a court appearance for the owner.
Munsen, who is healing from her injuries, said the leash law fine should be increased to $250 as a deterrent.
"If they implemented that at the County Council level, that would really help the problem," she said. "It would be a win-win situation. The county would bring in some bucks. Maybe we would end this issue that's been going on for years."

My Mum's Special Secret is an adorable picture book about a young Kookaburra and his mother.

William Jelani Cobb & Cynthia Young, editors
W.E.B. DuBois's 1903 prediction that the problem of the 20th century was "the problem of the color line" defined the next 97 years. His prophetic words have shadowed the politics and culture of black people throughout the African Diaspora. Taking this forecast as a departure point, the editors of the anthology 21st Century Black ask writers, scholars and visual artists to project into the future and consider what the state of the race and the state of the very concept of race will be in 2036.
We are living in a time of enormous demographic, technological and political upheaval, and this prompts us to ask what might our collective futures look like? We are interested in pieces that will extrapolate current trends in politics, technology, medicine and healthcare, law, art, diasporan relations, family life to what might be their logical extensions. We seek both scholarly forecasts and imaginative "future hypotheticals." We wish to answer two questions substantively and creatively: Where are we headed? And where might we be in 30 years?
How will the next 30 years shift our understandings of race as new immigrant patterns alter our urban and suburban landscapes, as different minority populations consolidate their political power, and as a new multiracial generation of children emerges and claims distinct identities? How might these current and projected changes transform U.S. politics and culture?
Topics may include but are not limited to considering the future impact of any of the following:
We will also consider a limited amount of speculative short fiction (no more than 3000 words) and visual art with futurist themes.
Please submit brief (700 words max) abstracts, c.v., and your contact information to Cynthia Young, Assistant Professor, University of Southern California & William Jelani Cobb, Assistant Professor, Spelman College at the e-mail address given below. For fiction submissions, please send the entire piece. Visual art should be sent as a jpeg file.
Deadline 15 December 2004

AIG is finding it hard to convince people that everything is fine at its insurance units while making slow progress on reducing its obligations to the government.
Read more:
american international group
You made a $1.5bn profit? Big deal.
That is the attitude many are taking towards American
International Group (AIG)following its first-quarter results.
The slowly-recovering, government-backed insurer reported net
income of $1.5bn for the first quarter of 2010, a reverse from
a net loss of $4.4bn in the first quarter of 2009. Despite the
improvement, analysts remain sceptical about AIG's
For example, Cliff Gallant, analyst at Keefe, Bruyette and
Woods, is unimpressed by the results, saying that the reported
income is meaningless unless the benefits trickle down to the
"They are not paying their series dividend and over the
quarter they increased the amount of debt they owe to the
federal government," he told Reactions. "From my point from
view the net income that they are reporting is not accruing to
the common shareholder so to me it is a somewhat irrelevant
Gallant caused AIG's share price to drop 6% on
April 27 after he released a report saying there is little
long-term value in AIG's shares under its
ownership structure and that the shares are grossly
Other analysts Reactions has spoken to point out that AIG
remains extremely thinly capitalised. This means the market is
very skittish and skeptical about AIG's long-term
Others are more bullish, however. In May, Fairholme Capital
Management increased its holding of AIG shares to 25.5m shares
from 15m shares as of the end of March 31.
But I am not so sure anybody truly understands the endgame
here. This is an extraordinarily bizarre situation that the
insurance market has not seen before.
Following fellow US insurer The Hartford ridding itself of
its debt to the government earlier this year, AIG is now the
only insurance firm still being propped up with government
funds. AIG is in an incredibly awkward position.
According to Gallant: "On the one hand you have a company
that wants to say they are making money and financially
stabilising but at the same time they are saying: 'We
can't pay the interest we owe you.'
That's not the degree of income, strength and
stability that most people want to see from AIG."
Therein lies the problem.
AIG wants to have its government-bought cake and eat it too. It
has to adopt a bullish, hard-nosed business attitude of
fighting to keep its business and saying everything is fine
while also remaining propped up by the taxpayer. Its recent
sales of AIA and Alico will help a lot, but it may still take
another two or three years for the government to get out of the
insurance game and it is far from clear it can do this without
the taxpayer making a great loss.
The situation clearly irks its competitors, and
understandably so. Mike McGavick, CEO of XL, went public with
his grievances in March at the World Insurance Forum. He said
the problem of everybody else competing with a government-owned
entity is very real.
"I am quite astonished, and I suppose at some crass level,
very jealous of [AIG] being able to call the Treasury to refuel
reserves. I think this is fascinating idea and should be
offensive to all of us that compete," was one of his
McGavick was merely saying what a lot of AIG's
rivals must be thinking. He added that he found it offensive
AIG could pick and choose which assets to sell, especially
given the common accusation that AIG is slashing rates in a
desperate bid to hold onto business. McGavick predicted that
consumers would ultimately lose out because pricing will have
to go up when the situation corrects itself.
AIG's largest competitors have another reason
to hate the firm. Insurers are being caught up on the focus on
financial institutions that are deemed too big to fail and may
end up lumbered with onerous new regulations.
I cannot help feeling that it would have been fairer to
carve AIG up quickly and separate its insurance units from the
parent company that, as a result of absurdly stupid risk
taking, found itself with higher obligations than it could ever
hope to pay by itself.
Its former CEO Hank Greenberg now believes AIG should have
been allowed to go bankrupt. I am not sure I agree with that.
The actions taken by the government were tough decisions made
under incredible pressure. But it seems in trying to stabilise
AIG, the government may end up destabilizing the rest of the
insurance market.
It is a bit rich that AIG's insurance units get
to fight another day and remain in the fold of the parent
company. They would argue that the problems were not related to
insurance. That is fine, but what use is having a free market
if firms do not get punished for making stupid decisions that
bring a firm to its knees? By rights, all of AIG's
insurance units should have been split from the parent as soon
as possible, whether by sale or IPO. This was the plan, hence
the rebranding of Chartis in preparation of a clean break. That
the plan got changed should be a source of outrage for its

BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
I really don't have any. Just continue on my goals in life
Treat your stepmother with respect Pantera, or you'll be sleeping in the streets!!
Apparently I did not post any resolutions here for '11, so therefore I either met them all or none of them. Whatta year!
I don't know if I want to make any for '12, knowing that by the end of the year, all of humankind will be wiped off the face of the world.
From Star Wars Episode VII: the Broadway Edition... FN and the Amazing Technically-Poe's Dream Jacket.
I don't really 'believe' in resolutions, besides most people don't keep them. I will say a few things that I want to do in 2012: find a new job, if I don't do that I want to at least be 'moving towards' a new job ie. go back to school. I have an idea or two with that but I'm figuring some things out with that so I'm not set yet in that reguard. Continue to grow and advance my coaching career, in a magical world that would be my full time job. Qualify for the Boston Marathon.
Here's what I plan to do next year, not necessarily "resolve" to do...
- two days acting as Abe Lincoln for the local library's Civil War documents exhibit
- prepare some students for their HSEE in Feb., Mar. and maybe Apr.
- see the "new" Star Wars 3D movie (maybe even on opening day)
- take an Alaskan cruise in the summer (gift to mom)
- continue to help mom pay off the house
- publish the 8th annual English dept. literary journal
- remain cellphone-less
Here's what I might do in 2012 (some are out of my control)...
- do more than plan to write, and actually get down to doing it
- be re-hired to teach (perhaps even without a loss of salary ) at my same school site for the fall (and thereby earn my 10-year pin )
- make "some changes" (nah! steadfast consistency is awesome! ) or "open up" to others
- reach 10K SSG posts (all quality ones, too)
From Star Wars Episode VII: the Broadway Edition... FN and the Amazing Technically-Poe's Dream Jacket.
Well, 2012 promises to be a busy year for me as well.
A+ certification
Network+ certification
Security+ certification
PACS Systems Analyst certification
Instructor qualified
Continue working on my B.A.
May the force be with you.
My resolutions for this year are similar to last year's, except I'm a lot closer to getting the comic done (I've got about 14 or so pages laid out). As what usually happens with life, 2011 presented some unexpected challenges, not the least of which was tearing the bicep muscle in my arm last September and having to have it surgically repaired. I'm still recovering from that right now.
I haven't really added up my Star Wars spending for the year yet. I'm pretty sure I might have gone over my $100 limit, but I highly doubt I passed the $200 mark.
For 2012 I'm going to resolve to NOT purchase any Ep1 or Prequel related Star Wars merchandise. Should be fairly easy as long as I can get over the initial temptation once the new packaging hits.
I also resolve to NOT see EP1 3D in theaters.
Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split. - Robert E. Howard
Nothing for 2012 or 2013, post-wise. Hmm.
In 2014, I recall to make no revolutions. But here goes for resolutions, maybe:
- request to teach Honors level students for the first time
- do something with the 20th anniversary of the subject matter for a possible book plot
- get new Christmas outdoor lights, THAT WORK!
- let things go as they happen
- get some repair work on the house
- remain un-injured
From Star Wars Episode VII: the Broadway Edition... FN and the Amazing Technically-Poe's Dream Jacket.
- requested, but denied
- did not, sadly
- did, and they were easy to put up (still are)
- sort of did
- only what needed to be fixed, but will get to the other stuff this year
- YES I did!
Thinking of what to resolve...

Daley usually has two with him, with two additional officers nearby at all times. A pair is assigned his house. I used to see them when he lived in Bridgeport. Poor guys bored out of their minds.
Oh, don't forget, Daley and DiFi both own guns. They have them, the serfs do not.:)
August 3, 2007, 01:01 PM
Pretty good!
Add the gun thing.
If they tell you "You don't need a gun, the Police will protect you." why does Mayor Daily have one AND full time body guards?

I'll make that version also. Will make one about DiFi, Boxer and Daley.
August 3, 2007, 01:24 PM
Great poster Oleg, I did find it a little difficult to read though, because of the text in the two frames being so close together, perhaps a simple vertical bar between the two pictures would help. That would also serve to "seperate" the "commoners" from the "elite" in a subtle way.
Just a thought. Thanks again for all you do!

No, they are CPD, pistols with shotguns or machine pistols in trunk.

I know several people who are immediately turned off when they see pictures like this. Not because of the message, but because there's almost always a bad picture of the person the artist doesn't support, and a good picture of the person the artist does support.
Any chance of using a Daley picture that doesn't make him look ugly (a better expression)?
August 3, 2007, 01:42 PM
Atk has a good point. it might even be better with a picture of a happy, smug Daily... (particularly if there is a guard in the background)
August 3, 2007, 01:49 PM
Great picture!

But very much like the topic.

Does that picture of Daley remind anyone else of Big Brother?

Not me. Big Brother was always described as "mustachioed" in the book. The unusual word stuck with me, when thinking of his description.

Crystal Structure of Human Catechol O-Methyltransferase with bound SAM and DNC
Structural highlights
[COMT_HUMAN] Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones. Also shortens the biological half-lives of certain neuroactive drugs, like L-DOPA, alpha-methyl DOPA and isoproterenol.
Evolutionary Conservation
Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) plays important roles in the metabolism of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol estrogens. The development of COMT inhibitors for use in the treatment of Parkinson's disease has been aided by crystallographic structures of the rat enzyme. However, the human and rat proteins have significantly different substrate specificities. Additionally, human COMT contains a common valine-methionine polymorphism at position 108. The methionine protein is less stable than the valine polymorph, resulting in decreased enzyme activity and protein levels in vivo. Here we describe the crystal structures of the 108V and 108M variants of the soluble form of human COMT bound with S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and a substrate analog, 3,5-dinitrocatechol. The polymorphic residue 108 is located in the alpha5-beta3 loop, buried in a hydrophobic pocket approximately 16 A from the SAM-binding site. The 108V and 108M structures are very similar overall [RMSD of C(alpha) atoms between two structures (C(alpha) RMSD)=0.2 A], and the active-site residues are superposable, in accord with the observation that SAM stabilizes 108M COMT. However, the methionine side chain is packed more tightly within the polymorphic site and, consequently, interacts more closely with residues A22 (alpha2) and R78 (alpha4) than does valine. These interactions of the larger methionine result in a 0.7-A displacement in the backbone structure near residue 108, which propagates along alpha1 and alpha5 toward the SAM-binding site. Although the overall secondary structures of the human and rat proteins are very similar (C(alpha) RMSD=0.4 A), several nonconserved residues are present in the SAM-(I89M, I91M, C95Y) and catechol- (C173V, R201M, E202K) binding sites. The human protein also contains three additional solvent-exposed cysteine residues (C95, C173, C188) that may contribute to intermolecular disulfide bond formation and protein aggregation.

Regular moon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In astronomy, a regular moon is a natural satellite following a relatively close and prograde orbit with little orbital inclination or eccentricity. They are believed to have formed in orbit about their primary, as opposed to irregular moons, which were captured.
There are at least 55 regular satellites of the eight planets: one at Earth, eight at Jupiter, 22 named regular moons at Saturn (not counting hundreds or thousands of moonlets), 18 known at Uranus, and 6 small regular moons at Neptune. (Large Triton appears to have been captured.) It is thought that Pluto's five moons and Haumea's two were formed in orbit about those dwarf planets out of debris created in giant collisions.

Police identify man killed in Derry Township crash
SUV drove onto open trailer bed, police say
UPDATED 1:18 PM EDT Apr 24, 2013
An 86-year-old man was killed when an SUV drove onto an open trailer bed in Derry Township Tuesday morning, police said.
Kenneth Klinger, of Palmyra, was killed in the crash, which happened about 9:05 a.m. Tuesday in the 400 block of East Chocolate Avenue (Route 422).
Investigators said a tractor-trailer was stopped in the westbound lane loading/unloading equipment.
Klinger's SUV drove onto the lowered trailer ramp and onto the open trailer bed, struck a piece of equipment and overturned onto the ground, police said.
Investigators said he was the only person in the vehicle.

July 20, 2005 | The NIH Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC) will use Genedata's Screener software system to collect and analyze data generated from its small-molecule library project. The NCGC is the first component of the NIH Roadmap to deliver new chemical tools for biomedical research.
The NCGC opened its laboratory doors in February, designed to screen thousands of small molecules in assays submitted by the research community. One advantage has been the lack of legacy data or structure to integrate.
"We knew this would be a golden opportunity to start new without legacy systems," says James Inglese, director of the biomolecular screening and profiling division. This provided NCGC the unique ability to implement whichever system they felt best fit their needs.
"Scientists are used to either hidden analysis or a very cumbersome process," says Michael Lindemann, Genedata's business manager for the Screener software products. Screener, however, is designed to work in a more interactive fashion. Researchers can view more than 5,000 plates simultaneously. Failed plates stand out and can be viewed by zooming into the display.
A second feature applicable to the NCGC's needs is Screener's dose response curve module, called Condoseo. It typically takes 16 hours for a researcher to fit and review a thousand dose response curves, making such analysis prohibitive, Lindemann says.
"Our customers turned to us and said, 'We need a tool that allows us to screen a thousand dose response curves.' And we met that challenge for them," Lindemann says. By automating the process, Genedata cut the analysis time down to an hour.
The NCGC has completed its first screen using the software and professes to being pleased with the results. Satisfying Genedata's understandable desire for feedback to improve the system isn't easy, however, as NCGC staff have yet to learn how to utilize all of Screener's analytic capabilities. "Data analysis is one piece of the high-throughput screening process," Lindemann says. And NCGC researchers have plenty to keep them busy from establishing a small-molecule library to building a Web site for the dissemination of results.

MIFFLINTOWN - Juniata County voters rejected a potential 25-percent school tax increase but put the future of kindergarten, the arts, agriculture, building trades and other educational programs in doubt for the school district, according to unofficial vote tallies Tuesday night.
Voters overwhelmingly voted "no" to the tax referendum question, with 6,039 votes, or 81.74 percent, opposed versus only 1,349 votes, or 18.26 percent, in favor, according to the unofficial results.
"The people have spoken, and they don't want a tax increase," Juniata County School Board President Mark Wagner said. "The administration and board are hopeful that Gov. Corbett can allocate us more money."
The Juniata County School District asked voters to choose between an 11.35 mill tax increase to fill a $3.1 million budget deficit or a slew of cuts that would eliminate or reduce educational programs like kindergarten, vocational agriculture, building trades, industrial arts, business education, family and consumer sciences, secondary art and music, and extracurricular activities, along with numerous employee layoffs attached to those programs. Other staff reductions include two guidance counselors, an elementary principal, 2.5 secretaries and 10 paraprofessionals.
"We're going to have to make cuts," Wagner said. "It won't be easy. The administration has given us a bare-bones budget to work with without raising taxes above the index."
The school district asked voters to consider a tax increase greater than the 1.9 percent allowable after Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed budget made drastic cuts to education funding and grants, such as those that the Juniata County School District uses to pay for kindergarten.
Acting Superintendent Kay Shehan Hughes called the vote "unfortunate," saying that students will lose valuable programs because of the funding losses.
The school board will be asked to approve a $30.3 million budget for the 2011-2012 school year during a meeting Thursday. The budget includes 55.459 mills in real estate tax, a 3.1 mill increase.
Already the school district has reduced expenses through employee salary freezes, suspension of certain purchases, project deferments, staff reductions and more. The possible closure of Susquehanna Elementary also is up for consideration.

Blackwell: Obama Administration 'An Active Participant' in Labeling Conservatives 'As Haters and Bigots'
As we noted the other day, Tony Perkins, Jerry Boykin, and Ken Blackwell, all of the Family Research Council, penned a joint op-ed in which they accused the Southern Poverty Law Center and others on the left of leading "an open assault upon those with whom they disagree," and blaming "this type of demonizing" for the shooting that recently took place at FRC headquarters.
Today, Blackwell discussed the topic with WNDTV/Radio America where he, like Tony Perkins before him, also placed the blame on President Obama and his administration for supposedly working with the SPLC "hand-in-glove" in the effort to demonize conservative Christians "as haters and bigots":
We think that there is more and more evidence that the Obama Justice Department and the Southern Poverty Law Center work hand-in-glove and that's disturbing because it's investing an enormous amount of power that is subject to misuse in an organization that has a political motive in attacking those of us who are strong in our pro-life ethic and strong in our support of traditional marriage. And a Justice Department that is supposed to be neutral is, by all measure, an active participant in this clash of visions; not only this clash of visions but in this mislabeling of people who are exercising their fundamental human rights and constitutionally guaranteed rights as haters and bigots.
Every day of his presidency, [President Obama] has done whatever it takes to undermine the Constitution and to empower a strong central or federal government which, by definition, has to be predicated on the weakening and the destruction of the family and chasing God and faith out of the public square or, at a minimum, silencing the church.
So I see this as an extension of that sort of mischief and that sort of wrongheadedness when he attacks those organizations that defend the pro-life ethic, defend traditional marriage, and defend strong families, and who advocate putting a harness on the growth and the reach of government.
