The Congregation of Sisters of St. Agnes was founded on American soil in 1858 through the efforts of Father Caspar Rehrl. The pastoral zeal of this Austrian missionary had led him to the newly created diocese of Milwaukee, which was under the leadership of Bishop John Martin Henni and included all the Wisconsin Territory. Father Rehrl ministered tirelessly to the immigrant people in the area between Lake Michigan and Lake Winnebago, from Milwaukee to Green Bay.
After unsuccessful attempts to bring religious women from Europe to help him in his work, he received approval from Pope Pius IX to establish at Barton, Wisconsin, a sisterhood of young pioneer women, under the patronage of St. Agnes of Rome, to whom he had a special devotion. On August 12, 1858, the Congregation of St. Agnes came into existence when Father Rehrl received three women into his new society. Among them was Gertrude Rehberg, the first young lady to respond to Father Rehrl's plans to found a sisterhood. That day she became Sister Mary Agnes Clara and would be the first permanent "Agnesian."
According to his proposed constitutions, the "Agnes Sisters" were "united for this purpose, that by means of their united strength they may train and educate children in such a way that they may. . .come to God in heaven." This early rule of life also envisioned a hospice and infirmary at the motherhouse for those who were not members of the congregation.
At first the small group suffered such untold hardships and difficulties that, for a few months in 1861, it was reduced to one blind member. The arrival of Mary Hazotte in 1863, however, gave Father Rehrl his "child of destiny." She was received into the community as Sister Mary Agnes and was elected its general superior the following year on her profession day, at the age of seventeen.
As the society grew, so did the tensions between Father Rehrl and Sister Agnes. He wanted to send the sisters and candidates into ministry after minimal training; she insisted that they remain at Barton for a more thorough preparation. In June of 1870, Father Rehrl, now aging and burdened with pastoral work, resigned as director of the congregation. A month later, Rev. Martin Kundig, administrator of the diocese, came to Barton to disband the sisters because they had no definite rule and no ecclesiastical approval. Providentially, at that same time the co-founder of the Capuchins in the United States, Father Francis Haas, was present at Barton conducting a retreat and revising Father Rehrl's earlier proposed rule. Through the intervention of Father Francis, the institute was not disbanded. Moreover, Father Kundig named Father Francis its spiritual director.
On August 1 of that same year, 1870, the sisters made the historic move to Fond du Lac, which was a more favorable location. With the help of her sisters and the guidance of Father Francis, Mother Agnes led the small group to become a lasting apostolic institute. Repeatedly re-elected, she served as general superior until her death in 1905. Through her faith and courage and that of the other early sisters, a living flame of apostolic zeal spread its light and warmth beyond the fieldstones of Barton and Fond du Lac to the far-reaching areas of the United States. Before long, the Sisters of St. Agnes were responding to many and various needs of the church through education and the care of immigrants, orphans, the sick and the elderly.
Today, as in its early years, the mission of the congregation extends beyond any one culture or nationality. Women of all ethnic groups and races are welcome as members, just as from its beginnings women from diverse backgrounds have enriched the congregation and been enriched by it.

An Auckland flag maker has been inundated with Emirates Team NZ flag orders from all over the world and has hurriedly printed two extra lots already this week.
Flagz Group is the official supplier of flags to the team as well as to other America's Cup racers.
Managing director Shane Brown says his staff have been "working flat out" trying to keep up with the demand for the black and silver flags after hundreds of orders came in from Australia, America, Canada, Austria, Denmark, Sweden, France, Dubai and, of course, New Zealand.
"On Sunday, after the race last weekend, our phones went ballistic. We came into work on Monday morning and we had over 100 orders from the weekend alone, just for Emirates Team New Zealand flags."
Mr Brown said Kiwis had also been ordering the flags, with up to 400 sold in the past week, some of which were being taken with supporters up to San Francisco.
"We've had trouble keeping up with the demand."
When supplies ran out, Mr Brown rallied staff to print 100 more on Sunday, and another 40 yesterday. He was expecting another influx of orders after today's races.
He said the America's Cup was big business for Flagz Group.
"It's absolutely great business and people don't understand that a lot of industries like myself, we benefit from this."

In a time when health care is such a moving target, it is an extremely difficult arena for the working poor and uninsured to receive preventive and primary care services. East Cooper Community Outreach (ECCO) and the MUSC College of Nursing have responded to this overwhelming need by opening "Partners in HealthCare," a nurse practitioner-managed clinic that focuses on the care of uninsured patients with diabetes, hypertension and associated conditions of hyperlipidemia, obesity and tobacco usage.
The clinic, which opened in June, serves the uninsured residents of East Cooper without a medical home on Wednesday evenings by appointment only. Appointments are scheduled through ECCO by calling 843-416-7145 or by emailing email@example.com.
This unique practice emphasizes continuity of care, health education, lifestyle coaching and care coordination. MUSC nurse practitioners are the primary providers. ECCO's Prescription Assistance program assists with securing needed medications for enrolled patients.
Dianne Schuler, ECCO board member and retired registered nurse says, "One of our biggest focuses is helping ECCO clients to better understand their conditions and prescribed medications." It's true. When you're poor, medications are rarely taken as prescribed. It's a common occurrence when our Health and Wellness manager discovers a patient is taking half of their dosage a day or has compromised the formula in some way.
Frequent reasons for failure to take medication include miscommunication or poor understanding of the disease and prescribed medications, lack of funds for medications prescribed, or medication side effects. The ongoing, real-time support provided by the health coaching offered at Partners in HealthCare strives to address these barriers in addition to promoting healthy lifestyles. Dr. Deborah Williamson, associate dean at MUSC's College of Nursing, said, "Our team of nurse practitioners strives to engage the clients through building relationships and trust which is a key component of the health-coach model." Health coaching has been shown to improve outcomes in chronic disease management.
Last year, South Carolina and several southern states chose not to receive federal funding for Medicaid which is a vital component to the Affordable Care Act. This created a huge gap for the working poor. Purchasing personal health insurance is not affordable for someone making minimum wage. The Post and Courier reported on June 22 that in South Carolina, 194,000 residents fall into this gap and remain uninsured.
Uninsured individuals are especially susceptible to poor outcomes associated with chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. These individuals are less likely to be aware they have the condition, less likely to be under control and more likely to use an emergency room as their usual source of care. These factors contribute to fragmented care delivered at a high cost with worse health outcomes than the insured. Partners in HealthCare hopes to demonstrate a reduction in emergency room visits by providing a system of care that engages the client in self management to reduce poor health outcomes.
Chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, if uncontrolled, can result in significant complications such as stroke, amputations, vision loss and kidney disease. The loss of productive years of life due to these complications is why Partners in HealthCare is so critical. As Schuler says, "Our goal is to improve the health of our community – one patient at a time."
Jack Little is executive director of East Cooper Community Outreach.

ALTHOUGH SOME in the Philadelphia Police Department have cold-shouldered former Officer Richard DeCoatsworth, the man who runs the department has positive feelings toward the ex-cop, and some personal guilt.
Commissioner Charles Ramsey thinks he failed the embattled and troubled hero cop, who recently retired with a medical disability and who may be criminally charged soon in a Port Richmond bullying incident. He is due in court Feb. 27 to answer a private complaint charging harassment and simple assault.
In an exclusive interview that took place after the police investigation began but before the civil suit was announced, Ramsey told me he made a mistake in granting DeCoatsworth's wish to join Highway Patrol after the young cop was shot in the face during a 2007 car stop.

Thoughts for Thrifting
By Cindy Hamlin, Special to the Citizen 10/27/11
• Don't be afraid of the seedy! Most of the best thrift stores are in the less than ideal parts of town. Thrift stores are dirty and you will have to dig, but isn't a bargain worth digging for?
• Make nice with the owner/manager! Tell them what you are looking for and they may know where it is or will keep an eye out for you.
• Thrift stores need bags for the customer's purchases. Your home is likely filled with them, both paper and plastic, so make nice and curry some favor!
• If there is a quantity of an item, but they are priced individually, ask if they can give you a price if you take all of
them. Be prepared to take them (or not) depending on the price. If you ask for a better price on an item (not all do this) be prepared to pay it. The owners get really peeved if you ask continually and never buy it.
• Most thrift stores have a discount schedule (colored dots/tags, sections that are over stocked with items, etc). This is usually posted or announced when you arrive, so look for it or ask. It may make the difference in buying it or leaving it there.
• Think of other uses for your purchases. The shirt with a spot can be fabric for a bag; a wool sweater can be felted. A shirt missing buttons can have a new funkier set. A single earring can become a pendant on a necklace or the center for a brooch. No item is a lost cause unless it is disgusting!
• Craig's List is a good place to check for shops. They usually post it in the yard/garage sale section.
• Stop in often! They get new merchandise EVERY DAY and ALL DAY! It is not the same store 20 minutes after you leave.
• Google search "thrift shops" and "your town". You may find ones that you never knew of. Ask a fellow thrift shopper if they found any new or cool shops.
• If your gut tells you that the item is worth something, LISTEN! As you develop and fine tune your thrifting skills it gets better. You can also go home and research it. I buy items at the Goodwill and then take home and research it. They have a return policy for store credit only, so I am not at a loss if I take it back.
• Tell your thrifting buddies what you are looking for. They can help you look for that illusive item.
Good luck and happy hunting!
Cindy Hamlin is a lover of thrift shops and a maker of things. She shares her exploits on her blog, Cindy is Crafty (cindyiscrafty.wordpress.com) and she makes and sells jewelry designs at shops in the Metro Richmond region and her thrift finds on eBay.

Pre-gaming: Spurs vs. Warriors Game 5
AT&T CENTER — Despite losing Game 4 to the Golden State Warriors, the Spurs are back in San Antonio in better shape than when they left last Thursday. And with a few extra hours to rest various bumps and bruises than they had in the 36-hour layoff between the third and fourth games, both teams are in decent physical shape before the pivotal Game 5.
At least that's what the coaches are saying.
But by this time in a best-of-seven series, both teams know what they're getting. As Gregg Popovich said, players are going to play.
- After four games, the chess match has hit its stretch run. You know what your opponent's next move is oftentimes, it's just a matter of execution, Pop said. "By this time, both teams have made little tweaks here and there to what they want to do. It really gets to the point where players play, players make shots or make plays that determine the outcome of games at this point really."
- When asked about what he's learned about the Warriors over the last eight days, Pop took a line from a classic Dennis Green press conference: "They are who we thought they were. Young, talented, energetic, motivated team. Mark [Jackson] has formed it into a good executing group at both ends of the floor, not just offense. They play good, solid D. They play hard, they play physically. That's what we expected and that's what we got."
- Jackson did talk about basketball, though. One of the big questions has been the status of Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut throughout the series. "I'll wait until the work out but both seemed to be feeling a little better. We'll see how it goes once I get back to the locker room but we didn't do much today, not a lot of movement, but both seemed better." For what it's worth, Curry seemed to be moving around smoothly during his pre-game routines.
- When asked about his team's shooting and defense, Pop said rebounding was his biggest issue. "I'm not all that concerned with defensive deficiencies. There are always going to be defensive deficiencies, that's why the games aren't 10-8. I'm not trying to be a wise-ass, people are going to make mistakes and the scores are going to be in the 80s, 90s and 100s, whatever, because it's human beings and they can't be perfect in that regard. I'm more concerned about the rebounding than I am the defense. I thought we made — if Golden State is going to 84 points again tonight, I'll be a happy man. It's not easy to hold them to 84 points. But there were lots of situations where they got second and third shots and I thought they were hungrier and more maniacal in going after the boards and 50-50 balls than we were in that game. So that's a concern and the other one is our shooting. We haven't this bad, we had one good game out of four as far as shooting goes. Last game was horrendous with 55 [percent] at the line when we were shooting about 80 [percent] all year. It's like catching the shooting flu or something all of a sudden in this round. I'm concerned about that, but we can do more about the rebounding than the shooting. It'll either come back or it won't, but the rebounding you can work at."
- Mark Jackson had some more interesting things to say during his pre-game press conference in this one: "I just knew it was something special about these guys, and I knew the winning spirit was flowing all throughout them. I believe that the hand of God is on this basketball team. I said to my church, in front of this basketball team, that God was going to use this team — with all its flaws, shortcomings, hurt, excuses, history — to show folks that if he can do it with us, he can certainly do it in their situation. Because the hand that they've been dealt is probably better than the hand that we've been dealt, when you look from top to bottom, how this team has been able to beat the odds. Like I said, it may not be everybody's cup of tea, but it's mine." I leave this without comment.
- Lastly, Pop said Parker is doing OK despite struggling through Game 4. "He couldn't plant, he couldn't push off, getting up on his toes was tough. He and Curry both looked like they were not themselves. (Parker) just got kicked in the calf. So there's, like, a knot in your calf. It just affects movement. It affects explosiveness. He's better today."
I expect the Spurs to shoot the ball much better this evening with a little extra rest under their belt and their legs underneath them. Between field-goal percentage, three-point percentage and free-throw percentage, Game 4 featured the worst combined shooting percentage of the Pop/Duncan era. I doubt that happens again. And considering they nearly won a playoff game despite such an awful performance, the Spurs should feel good about where they're sitting. But they must continue to play good defense, and rebound, rebound, rebound.

In 1992 we began operating what was then the largest structural steel beam bending roll in the Western Hemisphere. In 1999 we began operating the world's largest beam bending machine. The combination of the greatest capacity with the most experience makes us your best choice for any project requiring bending of beams. With 30 specialized machines capable of beam bending, we can match the machine and the method to your specific requirements. For example, we can minimize trim and obtain a greater yield from the raw steel material because we have more sizes of machines to choose from than any other company. (Trim or waste or cut-off is the material required at the beginning and ending of steel curved sections: its length is determined by the distance between the rolls on the machine.) We have over 130,000 square feet of plant with the capacity to lift more than 40 tons of steel and ship steel sections 105 ft. long. We have close relationships with specialized freight carriers who have the equipment—"low boys," stretch trailers, etc—to economically and safely ship oversize loads anywhere on the continent. All steel beam material is stored inside a climate controlled, state-of-the-art plant. With our extensive records, we can advise you regarding what steel beam bending can be done, what if any shrinkage or deformation might occur, and offer cost- and time-saving suggestions. Call us for a quick, competent and consistent consultation or quotation. We are bending the largest beams in both Chicago, IL, and Kansas City, MO.
In addition to beam bending, we also rough, torch cut; plasma cut; and saw cut these sections. We can punch or drill holes in the web or flanges. We can also weld on end plates as we do on tunnel supports.
Equipment manufacturers use us for bending of beams for heavy equipment, truck frames, tank stiffeners, and monorails. Structural steel fabricators use us for steel beam bending for building frames, for roof supports, for canopies, for trellises, and for arches. These elements are found in stadiums, airports, rail stations, bus shelters, commercial buildings, auditoriums, gymnasiums, and many other structures.
Contact us for more information on steel beam bending and other metal bending services we provide.

Unlike some decade-end dazzlers, this one's supposed to be funny—but Anita Bryant and the Village People on the same show? The mix of live performances (Leif Garrett, Roy Clark) and film is confusing—and host Dick Clark doesn't help. Art Buchwald is a riot, and Hugh Hefner says, "In the 70s, only priests wanted to get married." But never has a decade seemed this long.

AUSTIN - The state's property taxpayers need relief, but its public schools need help even more, a Texas Association of School Boards official said Wednesday.
David Dunn, TASB associate executive director of governmental relations, said the group plans to seek $2 billion more in state aid for schools over the next two years and will recommend that the new money benefit all school districts.
"We're in favor of property-tax relief, but we just think the needs of school districts are critical," Dunn said.
The funding recommendation stems from a study done by a special committee appointed by TASB and Texas Association of School Administrators. TASB is finalizing recommendations to the Legislature, which starts its session Tuesday.
Gov. George W. Bush has proposed a $2 billion property-tax cut. He also is calling for $1.6 billion in new state funding for schools, including $1 billion that districts can use for teacher pay increases.
Bush said he agrees that education should be the top funding priority.
"I do believe, though, that in times of plenty, it's important to pass money back to the taxpayers," Bush said. "I think we can do both."
TASB wants to make sure all districts benefit from new funding that's provided.
Dunn said the system for funding public education is "maxed out" and needs to be expanded. Many districts are close to their taxing capacity, Dunn said.
State law caps a district's tax rate for maintenance and operations at $1.50 per $100 valuation, although the limit can be exceeded if voters approve. Dunn said 246 of the state's 1,048 school districts are over the limit.
The Amarillo Independent School District's maintenance and operations tax rate is $1.33 per $100 valuation. The district has an 18-cent rate to cover debt service.
Pati Buchenau, AISD executive director for finance and budget, said projections indicate the district will be at the $1.50 maintenance and operations cap in three years.
"Either the funding has got to change or we've got to do some major cutbacks, or we'll have to go to the voters," Buchenau said.
But the most likely scenario is for the district to cut its budget, she said.
TASB is expected to ask lawmakers to increase the basic allotment for schools. The allotment is $2,396 per student.
To help property-poor districts, TASB wants an increase in the school funding law's guaranteed yield, Dunn said.
The state guarantees each district will raise $21 per pupil for every penny of its tax rate above 86 cents. Dunn said TASB would like the guaranteed amount increased to about $23.
The association wants to raise the wealth level that triggers the "Robin Hood" provision in the school finance law. The law requires districts with at least $280,000 in property wealth per student to share local tax money with poor districts.
Raising the wealth level would reduce the amount of tax funds the rich districts would have to share, Dunn said.
TASB is expected to recommend a revision of the state's teacher salary schedule. Dunn said salary increases should focus on the first five years of teachers' service because studies indicate that is when a teacher is most likely to leave the field.
The state's minimum salary for a beginning teacher is $21,240, and TASB is expected to recommend that the starting salary be raised to about $26,000.
Dunn said preliminary estimates indicate the proposed increases in the minimum salary schedule would cost about $400 million over the two-year budget period. If all districts passed along similar increases at all steps of the salary schedule, the cost would be about $2 billion for the biennium, he said.

Introducing Sister Maria Victoria!Comments (0) Filed under: Uncategorized
Tags: Profession, Sister Maria Victoria, Vows
What a joyous, wonderful, special weekend we had as we celebrated the Rite of First Monastic Profession for our newest member – Sister Maria Victoria! With our Adoration Chapel temporarily closed due to monastery renovations, the ceremony took place in the chapel of Our Lady of Rickenbach (our infirmed Sisters' facility).
The origins of this beautiful ceremony are rooted in our Rule of St. Benedict. During the rite, a novice is presented to the prioress general and the community after fulfilling the requirements of formation. Then the novice officially seeks admittance to the Congregation after which the Sisters say, "We accept her. We welcome her. Thanks be to God!"
In our Congregation, one who makes profession can request a new religious name. The name – if approved – is kept secret until it's revealed during the ceremony. So the days leading to the ceremony are usually filled with speculation of what the new name might be, and the novice gets more than a little joy in keeping the secret from everyone.
So when Prioress General Sister Pat finally shared Novice Clarisa's new name – Sister Maria Victoria – it was met with surprise and delight, especially considering the name was chosen to honor her grandmother.
In a voice that shook with emotion and joy, Sister Maria Victoria made her vows of Stability, Conversatio and Obedience to the Rule of St. Benedict.
Stability is a commitment of lifelong fidelity to God and our Congregation. Conversatio is a commitment to embrace all of monastic life as a path to holiness and conversion. This includes poverty or simplicity of life and chastity. Obedience is a vow of listening, responsive love to the voice of God as it comes to us through prayer, the Rule of St. Benedict, Scripture, our Prioress and our Sisters.
Her petition read: 'In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. I, Sister Maria Victoria, of the diocese of Lomas de Zamora, Argentina, vow for three years to Almighty God: Stability, Conversatio and Obedience according to the Rule of Benedict and the Constitution of the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, before God and all the saints and before Sister Patricia Nyquist, Prioress General, and the Sisters of this community.
As a member of this Congregation, I dedicate myself to the adoration of Christ in the Eucharist.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
In witness whereof I have written this document and signed it here at Clyde, Missouri, in the year 2010, on the fourth day of the month of December.'
Sister Maria Victoria placed the petition upon the altar as a symbol of offering her life to Christ in community and was then presented with the habit.
She excused herself to change into her new clothing. Changing from secular clothing to the black and white of the Congregation is an ancient Benedictine custom, ritualizing dispossession, conversion, simplicity and incorporation into the community. Upon her return, Sister Pat placed the emblem of the Congregation around her neck.
Our emblem symbolizes the bread and wine of the Eucharist, inspiring us to always prefer nothing whatever to Christ and to live a life generous of love and humble service.
For the next three years, Sister Maria Victoria will settle more deeply into monastic life and determine whether or not this is the path she wishes to dedicate herself. If so, she can be received as a perpetually professed sister.
Witnessing the Rite of First Monastic Profession is a joyful, spirit-filled experience. We are so glad her friends and family could be with us on this special day and look forward to having Sister Maria Victoria help lead the next generation of Sisters, continuing the tradition set forth by those before us in this religious life.

Do you:
- Check out every movie as soon as it comes out?
- Consider critiquing every film you see a personal hobby?
- Think of yourself as a film connoisseur?
- Know the stylistic elements of film noir, both classic and contemporary?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then a B. A. in Film Studies from Chapman University's Dodge College of Film and Media Arts might be right for you.
At Dodge College, you'll explore film history, theory and criticism in depth while acquiring a hands-on introduction to production, including cinematography, lighting, editing, and sound design. This unique combination of theoretical knowledge and filmmaking practice will give you a distinctive understanding of how the essential elements of film work together, something that studying theory alone simply can't do.

you need an sd card. even then, i'm not positive you can take the game's progress file.
My buddy is having a Wii Party tonight.
I'm bringing some games, and need to know the best way to transfer my saved files to his system.
Does the wii mail have the capability to transfer these files?
Please let me know.
you need an sd card. even then, i'm not positive you can take the game's progress file.
A response to "Wii - DVD Compatible?"
"I put a PS3 disc in it and the Wii wouldn't read it. WTF is this world coming to? If I buy a video game console, it better take and kind of media I want. Even if I were to dust off some of my vinyl LPs, the bastard better work."
yea, sd card is the only way possible
»How do I backup / transfer my saves to an SD card from my Wii?
From your Wii main menu: Wii Options > Data Management > Save Data > Wii. You'll see all of your Wii saves that are currently on your internal memory. Select the save you want to backup / transfer and select 'Copy' (you need to have an SD card in. Any one will work.)
The save is now on your SD card.
Si ...only SD.

Actually, even with an SD card, I think the save data on the card will only work on your Wii. Nintendo made it stupid and I don't think you can transfer data between consoles.
Pretty sure, but not 100%.

^^ I thought game saves you could just not VC games.
If You Add My Wii Code, Please PM me with your code so i can add you. THANKS
This is true. The only thing that wont work is the VC games. There is even a site where people upload their game saves for lazy people who don't want to play through all the crap they don't like. Its:Originally Posted by cannon

I dunno. When I had my Wii and Guitar Hero III, I went to my cousins house to play it on his Wii. The GHIII saved game wouldn't transfer over to my SD card but some others would. Finding which one will and which one won't is spotty.

Stock Futures Point to a Wall Street Rebound
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were rising Friday, pointing to a rebound after two sessions of deep, Federal Reserve -related selloffs that culminated in the largest drop in equity prices since November 2011 and led to an environment for bargain-hunting.
The app, available for both Apple's iOS and Google's
Futures for the S&P 500 were rising 12.5 points, or 15.11 points above fair value, to 1,596.5. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were gaining 93 points, or 113.68 points above fair value, to 14,794. Futures for the Nasdaq were adding 18.75 points, or 15.42 points above fair value, to 2,898.75.
The economic calendar is empty Friday.
Friday is a quadruple-witching day of futures and options contracts expirations, which could bring greater than normal volume and volatility.
U.S. stock markets plunged the most in 19 months Thursday on fears the Fed plans to reduce the bond-buying that has fueled equity markets for more than a year and kept mortgage rates at historic lows.
"Markets don't like change and you are seeing that evidenced in the selloff of the last few days," Greg Sarian, the Philadelphia-based managing director and partner of the Sarian Group at HighTower, wrote in an email. "What investors are not paying attention to is the very reason the Fed is considering a change in policy is that the economy is slowly but surely getting better."
The Tokyo District Court issued a partial verdict Friday in favor of Apple in the case that centered on "bounce-back" technology for scrolling on devices. Damages weren't announced.
Sprint's $5-a-share offer and the bid's acceptance from a special committee of Clearwire's board indicates that Sprint is trying to finish its merger ahead of key shareholder meetings through June. The revised offer, a 47% premium from Sprint's last $3.40-a-share bid for Clearwire, also signals the company is caving to pressure from Dish.

The Securities and Exchange Commission charged a South Pasadena, Calif.-based wealth-management company and its former fund manager with conducting a three-year-long insider-trading spree in shares of Dell (UNKNOWN: DELL.DL ) , NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA ) , and Wind River Systems Friday.
According to the SEC, from 2008 to 2010, Whittier Trust Company fund manager Victor Dosti "generated profits and avoided losses for funds he managed at Whittier Trust by trading on confidential information that he obtained from Danny Kuo, a Whittier Trust fund manager who Dosti supervised."
The SEC alleges that Dosti used inside information from Kuo to trade into and out of Dell and NVIDIA stock ahead of quarterly earnings announcements, and also traded Wind River stock ahead of news that Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) had agreed to buy it in 2009 -- reaping $475,000 in gains and "avoided losses" from the first scheme, and $247,000 from the second.
"Time and again, Dosti received what he knew was inside information from Kuo and traded on it to generate illicit gains for the funds he managed," said SEC New York Regional Office Senior Associate Director Sanjay Wadhwa.
As is usual in this kind of announcement, revelation of the SEC's charge against the defendant, and conclusion of the matter, were made simultaneously. In this case, Whittier Trust has agreed to:
- Disgorge profits of $724,052.
- Pay interest of $75,296 on the ill-gotten gains.
- Pay a penalty of $724,052, equal to the amount of the illicit profits.
Similarly, Dosti has agreed to:
- Disgorge profits of $77,900.00.
- Pay interest of $2,951.
- Pay a penalty of $77,900, equal to the amount of the illicit profits.
In neither case did the defendants either admit or deny wrongdoing.

I think a lot of folks are concerned about that big screw coming loose, but I haven't had a problem with them.
April 18, 2007, 01:11 AM
Mine wobbled loose once, but it tightened back up and gave me no more problem through hundreds of rounds (on my FAL, which tends to be hard on scopes).
Personally, I love it. I got it for free with my Aimpoint, so it's hard to beat that!
April 18, 2007, 01:36 AM
Mine came loose a few times. I put a bit of Loctite on it, and havent had a problem since. I may have to Loctite the ring screws, but that all depends on what it does. Im happy with it though.

Well, I can't speak for others; but I am always swapping optics or playing with irons, so I like mounts that return to zero reliably and go on and off easy. Basically Larue or ARMS.

I have two of 'em that are collecting dust in a drawer, if anyone wants one really cheap....
April 18, 2007, 01:19 PM
There was the vertically split version that used two Allen screws on top and one on the bottom-- those weren't too great. The current ones with the "thumb screw" are just fine. The problem people are having is that the "thumb screw" fools you into thinking its actually a thumb screw, which it isn't. Use something (a quarter dollar is too small in my opinion) as a lever to get it good and tight and you won't need Loctite or anything else. I have a house key with a nice flat side on the handle portion, which gives a good 2-inch lever and that works great. I've used these rings in thousands of rounds of in-house product testing at UltiMAK, and I trust them completely. There's nothing in their design that's significantly different from most other rail squeezers.

Leonardo DiCaprio to star in Baz Luhrmann pic
SYDNEY – Pre-production for Baz Luhrmann's 3D project "The Great Gatsby" will begin in Sydney next month after the city beat out New York for the pic.
Luhrmann's "Gatsby" will star Leonardo DiCaprio, who last worked with the helmer on 1996's "Romeo + Juliet."
Pic will be based at Sydney's Fox Studios and locations and vfx work will also be done Down Under, which is getting a good reputation for 3D work and recently won the 3D component of the final Harry Potter series and the BBC "Walking With Dinosaurs" 3D pic.
"Gatsby" is a Bazmark production backed by Warners and has a reported budget of $120 million. It is good news for the local industry, which has not other international prods skedded to shoot here due to the recent strength in the Aussie dollar.
" 'The Great Gatsby' will be a boon for the NSW film industry, particularly given Baz Luhrmann's commitment to maximizing use of local cast, crew and visual effects expertise," said NSW premier Kristina Kenneally, announcing the pic on Saturday.

It wasn't me. I agree Conklin wasn't good but no way were all four goals his fault. The LaRose goal was a huge defensive breakdown . TBH I didn't see 3 and 4 against since my feed went out. He did make some good saves though yo keep it from being worse. He got a win that he deserved against NYR.
Your point about coming back from adversity is good, but the bigger lesson that was hopefully learned is that constanly pressuring with no letting up is the way to claw back, not just flipping the proverbial switch in the third.
It should have been a 5-2 game IMO. The first goal is iffy and Ill give hime the benefit of the doubt. The second goal was all him as was the 1st PP goal or was it the 2nd pp goal? I cant remeber which cause they were so close together.
He is playing for GR now because of his performances and hes only here cause of injury. He is subpar by NHL standards no questions asked.

Later, she was joined by Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke, and the two tackled the very difficult choreography to Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)." – Jennifer Garcia

Lauren Conrad and Derek Hough added fuel to the fire of dating rumors by partying together – very closely – in the back room at L.A.'s Trousdale Lounge. Though they were with friends – she had Lo Bosworth with her, and he was hanging out with Mark Ballas – they mostly spent time with each other. They even hit the dance floor, where Hough had his arm around Conrad's waist. "It was obvious there was a lot of chemistry between the two," an onlooker says. "She was very smitten." So smitten, in fact, that they shared some smooches. Says the onlooker: "Neither seemed embarrassed about kissing in public." – Jennifer Garcia

Independent Major in AADS
Presently, there is no AADS major at Boston College; however, interested students can develop and propose an independent major in African & African Diaspora Studies. Such a major must be organized around a coherent grouping of courses drawn from several disciplines and around a specific theme. Through an independent major in African & African Diaspora Studies, a student can enrich her or his overall academic experience.
Under usual circumstances, students are advised to follow the educational programs offered by departments. In rare instances, for students with special interests that cannot be satisfied in a regular major, double major, or a combined major and minor, Boston College's Educational Policy Committee will approve an interdisciplinary Independent Major. Students who wish to apply for an Independent Major must normally have achieved a minimum 3.5 grade point average by March 1 of their sophomore year. The student must plan, with the aid of a faculty advisor, a program of twelve (12) courses, ten (10) of which must be upper-division. These will extend over no more than three departments and will be selected in accordance with a clearly defined unifying principle. This program should be equal in depth and coherence to a typical departmental major and should include a plan for a final project or paper that demonstrates the thematic coherence of the Independent Major and reflect the ongoing assessment of the major by the student and the advisor. Each proposed independent major should be submitted to the Dean's Office before March 1 of the student's sophomore year. The Dean will then present it to the Educational Policy Committee for approval. An Independent Major will ordinarily be the student's only major.
For more information, or to begin your application for an independent major in African and African Diaspora Studies, please contact the African and African Diaspora Studies Program staff.
The African and African Diaspora Studies major is comprised of 12 courses, ten of which must be upper division courses.

Still possible?
December 11, 2009 - Buck Frank
If the Steelers somehow find a way to turn around this five-game losing streak and win their last three games -- the next two are at home -- they still have a chance to get a playoff berth.
I don't think it will happen, but you can't say they're dead, yet. Hines Ward has already said they're done, and nearly all of the TV analysts have buried them, too.
It appears the Steelers are among a group of teams fighting for the sixth seed, but the fifth seed is not a lock. The current fifth-seeded Broncos (8-4) have four losses and still have games in Indianapolis and Philadelphia along with two divisional home games. The Steelers would hold a tie-breaker on them.
Of the other teams, the Steelers still have to play the Ravens (6-6) and Dolphins (6-6) and could give each of them their seventh loss.
--The Jaguars (7-5) have games against Indy and New England and end the season in Cleveland. This week, they play Miami, and Steelers fans should be rooting for the Dolphins.
--The Jets (6-6) still have to play Atlanta, Indy and Cincinnati.
--The Dolphins also have games against 5-7 Tennessee and 5-7 Houston, so those teams could end up knocking each other out.
Any of the teams still in the hunt that can string together a three-game win streak will have a good chance at making the playoffs. Crazier things have happened,
But ...
Of all the above outcomes that have to go the Steelers' way, the one that is most likely not to happen is the Steelers winning three straight.

8 p.m. Friday, BJCC Concert Hall, 1 Civic Center Plaza, $50-$65 through Ticketmaster.
The name Celtic Woman brings to mind an ethereal lass with a mass of tangled curls, her cloak whipping in the wind and sprayed with sea foam.
Uilleann pipes. Jaunty reels. Elegant harps. Moss-covered castles.
Romantic stereotypes, perhaps, but Irish music has a way of conjuring such flights of fancy.
Indulge yourself, then, if you watch the top-selling troupe from the Emerald Isle on its PBS specials. Celtic Woman has been spreading its siren song since 2005, first on television and then on CDs and concert tours.
Angelic vocals from four soloists, fiery fiddling from a featured instrumentalist and soaring accompaniment from a orchestral ensemble are key parts of the formula. Theatrical staging and a blend of traditional and contemporary tunes complete the equation.
"The energy we create on stage seems to speak to people," says David Downes, Celtic Woman's music director, composer and co-creator. "There's a certain honesty. The job is to be yourself."
Still, there must be some kind of magic in the air when an act captures the interest of audiences around the globe, sells millions of recordings and tops Billboard's world music charts.
Decide for yourself on Friday, when Celtic Woman performs in Birmingham at the BJCC Concert Hall.
Sopranos Chloe Agnew, Orla Fallon, Lynn Hilary and Alex Sharpe -- think of them as multiple Enyas or dueling Sarah Brightmans -- will apply their voices to originals and covers from Celtic Woman's catalog. It includes "The Blessing," "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun," "Caledonia," "At the Ceili,"
Mairead Nesbitt, who usually bursts on stage in a swirl of skirts, will punctuate the performance with lively violin solos. About 20 other people will be on stage, as well, playing and singing and dancing.
"We try to deliver a genuinely passionate performance to the audience," Nesbitt says. "The goal is to communicate in a natural way."
In Nesbitt's case, that means bowing with precision, leaning toward the audience and leaping like an adrenalized Cupid. Compare her to an athlete and she won't disagree, although modesty prevents her from bragging.
"I've always been in admiration of people who make something difficult look really easy," she says. "That means they're doing it properly."
In fact, Celtic Woman has been called "'Riverdance' for voices," but Nesbitt's contributions add a more visceral, physical dimension.
"What she does isn't choreography," says Downes, the music director. "That's just her. But there's a tremendous sense of performance going on."
Nesbitt believes that compliment should be paid to everyone in Celtic Woman's company, from the singers to the designers to crew members.
"We're in complete support of each other," she says. "We have to be. We're on the road together for four to six months, doing sound checks and shows and meet-and-greets. We travel for 10 to 12 hours, get into hotels at 5 a.m., and have to do it all over again."
Of course, fans aren't supposed to think about any hard work that goes on behind the scenes. Instead, Celtic Woman's productions are designed to spring up and envelop audience members, whisking them away from reality for an hour or two.
"I hope people have a range of responses to the show: happy, sad, reflective, excited," Downes says. "I want them to marvel at something. And when they leave, I want them to feel they were dragged along by the hand on a journey."

Here are some useful links to Oracle-related content that I recently discovered, as seen from the perspective of a "Sun classic" Oracle employee.
Start with Blogs.Oracle.Com. I had checked it out last year and then forgot about it but I just revisited it and I found the content quite interesting.BOC covers a number of topics, from the core Oracle DB, to ADF, to CEP, and more; a few recent examples are:
You can track BOC from the website, the RSS feed and @oracleblogs. BOC does not have as much volume as what BSC had, say, in early 09, but it's pretty close to today's BSC. And, BTW, Justin has indicated that the current plan is to merge BOC and BSC (and, yes, the BSC content will be preserved).
- Update/Insert With ADF Web Service Data Control,
- New ADF Design Paper Covering Task Flows
- JMX Based Monitoring - Part One,
- "Oracle Coherence 3.5" Book - My Humble Review
- Using Open MQ as an Oracle CEP Event Source
- Simple ADF page using BAM Data Control
Like at Sun, plenty of useful content is generated outside of BOC, but,unlike BSC, BOC does not include a planet aggregator.Two useful planets are OraFAQ.com (RSS, @orafaq) and OraNA.info (RSS , @oraNA). I discovered oraNA first and I'm following it; sample posts from there:
Overall, there is quite a bit of community generated content around Oracle-related technologies. Oracle employees also seem to generate a healthy amount of content, I suspect tempered by things like culture and RevRec.A key difference is the lack of blogging from Oracle management:clearly,upper management has a different perspective.
- Building Virtualbox from scratch.
- Oracle ramps up software virtualization strategy
- CentOS 5.5 (and VMWare 2.0.2)
Note - If you know of other key sources of information on Oracle, let me know via comments to this entry and I'll update the main post.

Yes we've heard this. Low carb works in the short term.
Low-carb diet burns the most calories in small study
By Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY
A new study is raising questions about the age-old belief that a calorie is a calorie.
The research finds that dieters who were trying to maintain their weight loss burned significantly more calories eating a low-carb diet than they did eating a low-fat diet.
But some experts say these findings are very preliminary.
The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, was designed to see if changing the type of diet people consumed helped with weight maintenance because dieters often regain lost weight.
So scientists had 21 obese participants, ages 18 to 40, lose 10% to 15% of their initial body weight (about 30 pounds). After their weight had stabilized, each participant followed one of three different diets for four weeks. Participants were fed food that was prepared for them by diet experts. The dieters were admitted to the hospital four times for medical and metabolic testing.
Heres a look at the three types of diets used in the new study:
A low-fat diet, which is about 20% of calories from fat, 60% from carbohydrates, 20% from protein. It emphasizes whole-grain products and fruits and vegetables and cuts way back on oils, nuts, fatty meats and other high-fat foods.
A low-carb diet, similar to the Atkins diet, with only 10% of calories from carbohydrates, 30% from protein, 60% from fat. This diet emphasizes beef, fish, chicken, eggs, cheese, some vegetables and fruits while slashing the consumption of breads, pasta, potatoes, rice, cakes, cookies and starchy vegetables.
A low-glycemic index diet, similar to a Mediterranean diet, is made up of vegetables, fruit, beans, healthy fats (olive oil, nuts) and mostly healthy grains (old-fashioned oats, brown rice). It gets about 40% of daily calories from carbohydrates, 40% from fat and 20% from protein.

A low-fat diet which was about 20% of calories from fat and emphasized whole-grain products and fruits and vegetables.
A low-carb diet, similar to the Atkins diet, with only 10% of calories from carbohydrates. It emphasized fish, chicken, beef, eggs, cheese, some vegetables and fruits while eliminating foods such as breads, pasta, potatoes and starchy vegetables.
A low-glycemic index diet, similar to a Mediterranean diet, made up of vegetables, fruit, beans, healthy fats (olive oil, nuts) and mostly healthy grains (old-fashioned oats, brown rice). These foods digest more slowly, helping to keep blood sugar and hormones stable after the meal.
Findings, published in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association: Participants burned about 300 calories more a day on a low-carb diet than they did on a low-fat diet. "That's the amount you'd burn off in an hour of moderate intensity physical activity without lifting a finger," says senior author David Ludwig, director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Boston Children's Hospital.
"Participants burned 150 calories more on the low-glycemic index diet than the low-fat diet. That's about an hour of light physical activity," he says.
The reason for the low-carb advantage is unclear, he says.
"We think the low-carb and low-glycemic index diets, by not causing the surge and crash in blood sugar, don't trigger the starvation response. When the body thinks it's starving, it turns down metabolism to conserve energy," he says.
The authors note a downside to the low-carb diet: It appears to raise some risk factors for heart disease.
Ludwig says that restricting carbohydrates over the long term may be hard for many people. If you're trying to lose weight, "you can get a jump start with a low-carb diet, but over the long term, a low-glycemic index diet may be better than severely restricting carbohydrates."
"The low-glycemic index diet seems to be the happy medium," says Cara Ebbeling, associate director of the Obesity Prevention Center. "It didn't slow metabolism as much as the low-fat diet, and it didn't seem to have some of the negative effects on cardiovascular disease risk."
On a low-glycemic index diet, you would avoid highly processed carbs such as white bread, white rice, many snack foods, prepared breakfast cereals, sugary desserts and sugary beverages, she says.
Experts had different responses to the findings.
George Bray, an obesity researcher at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge who has also studied this topic and who wrote the accompanying editorial in JAMA, says that other studies "show that you can do well on any diet as long as you stick to it. Adherence is the major key for weight loss and maintenance. There is no magic in any diet."
Eric Westman, a Duke University researcher who has conducted several studies on the low-carb diet and is co-author of The New Atkins for a New You, says this study documents that the "lower the carbohydrates, the better the metabolic effects. People burn more calories if they eat fewer carbohydrates."
Marion Nestle, a nutrition professor at New York University, says longer studies conducted among people in their own environments, not with such controlled meals, have shown "little difference in weight loss and maintenance between one kind of diet and another." More research is needed to show that interesting results like these are applicable in real life, she says.
"In the meantime, if you want to lose weight, eat less."
Yes we've heard this. Low carb works in the short term.
and there's the rub. Trying "to stick to it." trying to maintain fat lose while on a high carb (high GI) diet will make you feel like you're having to starve yourself to keep the weight off.George Bray, an obesity researcher at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge who has also studied this topic and who wrote the accompanying editorial in JAMA, says that other studies "show that you can do well on any diet as long as you stick to it. Adherence is the major key for weight loss and maintenance. There is no magic in any diet."
Would I be putting a grain-feed cow on a fad diet if I took it out of the feedlot and put it on pasture eating the grass nature intended?
In other words a person to whom someone has been imprudent enough to grant a professorship, no less, in what is (ostensibly) a science subject, when confronted with results she doesn't like attempts to brush them aside.
She then repeats her mantra.
She might as well have put her fingers in her ears and chanted, "La, la, la, can't hear you."
The low carb group was the highest in protein which is the most thermogenic macro. It was rigged on the LC side when it wasn't concluded the carb content of diets that made it superior or the higher protein. The low-carb group had 30% protein the other 2 only had 20% protein.
As some even say proteins actual calorie content works out to be about 3 instead of 4. Now lets see them switch the higher protein content to the low fat and Mediterranean diet so we have some proper comparisons.
I saw this earlier from a different source, but no one cited what the "increased risk of CVD" was with low carb... What is it? Where is the data from?
as richard nikoley and evelyn at carb sane have both queried - if the diets are isocaloric, and this was a weight maintenance period (i.e. nobody's weight changed), yet one group had a higher RMR... something isn't adding up. i mean quite literally!
Just saw this Good science, bad interpretation « The Eating Academy | Peter Attia, M.D.
It gives much greater depth to the study (seeing as I couldn't access all the data) showing impact on inflammation, leptin, and other metabolic parameters.

- IP Address
- Domain Name
- OS and Software details
- Information about the pages you are visiting
2. Choose wisely which websites you visit - malicious sites leave parasites
There's no such thing as safe anonymous filesharing, Avoid P2P and distributed filesharing. Torrent, Kazaa, Gnutella, Morpheus and at least a dozen other filesharing networks exist. Most are free. And all are rife with trojans, viruses, worms, adware, spyware, and every other form of malicious code imaginable. http://antivirus.about.com/od/securitytips/a/safetytips.htm
3. Personal Information
- Choose wisely which websites to give out your personal information (address, password, credit card information)
Browsing the web? Look for https://, no https://? then enter no personal information
Email Security Tips
Email attacks - More ways to get you to give attackers your personal information.
Address Spoofing
Not all email is who is says it is from, sometime it is forged. Spoofing is a technique commonly used for spam and phishing to hide the origin of an email message. (wikipedia.org)
Phishing is the fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an email. Communications purporting to be from reputable organizations or IT Administrators are commonly used to lure unsuspecting users. Phishing attempts often directs users to send a reply or enter details at a fake website whose appearance is almost identical to the legitimate website expected. (wikipedia.org)
Hyperlinks and Phishing Attacks
Email scams often place links in messages and they try any number of techniques just to get you to click on the link. Clicking on an unknown link may seem harmless, but it makes you extremely vulnerable. Often email scams rely on placing links in messages that seem to come from a service that you trust, like your bank, credit card company, or social networking site. To make these phishing e-mail messages look even more legitimate, the scam artists may place a link in them that appears to go to the legitimate Web site (1), but actually takes you to a phony scam site (2) or possibly a pop-up window that looks exactly like the official site. (wikipedia.org)
Email Attachments
Attachments are a highly exploited feature of email to spread malicious code. Know the source of the attachment. If it seems weird - it is, don't open it, check with the source. (US-CERT.gov)

While this piece is not about the dreamworld of a young girl who is forced to fight dragons, Nazis and pimps, it does present an epic fantasy that many fans wish they could freely explore.
From vexatious criminal charges to excessive self-appraisal, these athletes continue to baffle fans and frustrate their teams.
While many on this list believe that they are of a higher power, others garner a spot based on pure irritation.
Whether it's the way they play their sport or the manner in which they celebrate success, these athletes have earned the right to a confrontation with angry fans—or maybe just in theory.
Here are the top 25 athletes we would like to sucker punch.
