A glitch with one of the key instruments ? an imaging spectrograph ? aboard the Hubble Space Telescope continues to plague the 19-year-old spacecraft after attempts last week to fix the problem, NASA said today.
Mission managers regrouped today to decide what their next steps should be to fix the anomaly with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) that caused the Hubble team to suspend the instrument's operations July 6.
STIS is a super-sensitive spectrograph that can detect faint light from distant developing galaxies.
The team made an attempt to fully recover the instrument on July 10, but was unsuccessful. The team collected diagnostic information on the problem and met today to review the status of STIS.
"We're making sure we understand it fully," Ed Ruitberg, a Hubble Program Manager at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., told SPACE.com.
The team will meet again later in the week to determine the next course of action. Mission controllers are unsure how long it will take to get STIS back into science-ready mode.
"We're not going to turn it fully operational until we know [more about the problem]," Ruitberg said, though he's optimistic the instrument will fully recover.
While the glitch has delayed the preparation of STIS for science operations, "it doesn't affect the other instruments," Ruitberg said.
The STIS glitch came a few weeks after a separate glitch that froze the observatory's new data handling unit, installed by shuttle astronauts in May during the fifth and final servicing mission of the telescope. That glitch was resolved in mid-June.?
On a happier note, a third glitch, with one of Hubble's cameras, was resolved last week.
?Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) suspended operations on June 24 after the instrument's flight software detected a problem in its new electronics box. Mission controllers were able to revive the camera on July 6.
"We basically just had to re-initialize the instrument and it came back up and running," Ruitberg said.
ACS has finished its Servicing Mission Observatory Verification, or SMOV program, and is ready to do science, though there's still a chance that the glitch could occur again. The team is working on mitigation strategies in case that happens, Ruitberg said.
ACS has been on Hubble since its launch in 1990 and was revived by the shuttle astronauts during their 13-day service call.
"Everything else is going very well," he added.

In a decisively pro-policyholder decision issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in IMG Worldwide, Inc. v. Westchester Fire Ins. Co., Nos. 13-3832, 13-3837 (6th Cir. July 15, 2014), the court righted a wrong in not only affirming a jury's finding that an excess carrier had breached its duty to indemnify its insured, IMG, but also, in reversing the trial court's ruling that the excess insurer, Westchester, had not breached its duty to defend, noting that to uphold the trial court's ruling in this regard would "not only penalize IMG, the non-breaching party, but… would provide perverse incentives: encouraging insurers to disclaim their duties to defend."
IMG was named in a lawsuit arising from a failed real estate development project for which it had served as a consultant (the "Gastaldi suit"). Plaintiffs in Gastaldi alleged they had been sold undeveloped properties in reliance upon defendants' promise to develop the properties into high end condominiums. IMG sought coverage for defense and indemnity costs under their commercial general liability policies from their primary carrier, Great Divide, and excess carrier, Westchester. Both insurers denied coverage. IMG subsequently incurred over $8 million in defense costs, and nearly $5 million in indemnity costs in a settlement with the Gastaldi plaintiffs.
IMG and its primary carrier, Great Divide, agreed to settle their coverage dispute for $1.25 million, exhausting the $1 million policy limit and providing for an additional $250,000 in reimbursement for defense costs. IMG sued Westchester, its excess carrier, and prevailed in a jury trial on its claim that Westchester had breached its duty to indemnify. The court, however, had retained the question of Westchester's liability for IMG's defense costs, and found in favor of Westchester, holding that Westchester's duty to defend "expired" upon IMG's settlement with Great Divide and furthermore, was conditioned on Westchester's retention of subrogation rights allowing it to recover payments from another insurer.
On appeal, the Sixth Circuit affirmed the jury's finding that Westchester owed IMG a duty to indemnify it for the amounts paid in settlement. The Westchester policy provided that it would indemnify IMG for liability arising from an "occurrence" resulting in "property damage," where "property damage" was defined to include "[l]oss of use of tangible property that is not physically injured." Westchester argued that (a) there was no covered "occurrence," because the only occurrence that could have led to damages attributable to IMG was the alleged misrepresentation(s) made by IMG, and (b) there was no "property damage," but rather, simply a "loss on investment," which was not covered.
The Sixth Circuit, like the trial court, disagreed, finding that (1) the "occurrence" did not have to be the alleged misrepresentations but rather, could be the developers' abandonment of the project (which was a covered occurrence), and (2) the property damage occasioned thereby was covered because "under Ohio law, 'purely economic damages' are insurable under the 'loss of use of tangible property' language at issue…." Thus, the court found that the jury had adequate evidence to find that there was an "occurrence" causing "property damage," thus triggering Westchester's duty to indemnify IMG.
Regarding defense costs, the Sixth Circuit overturned the trial court's ruling, finding IMG entitled to recoupment of defense costs under two separate clauses contained in the Westchester policy. The first clause provided that Westchester had a duty to defend IMG "against any 'suit' seeking damages for… 'property damage' when the 'underlying insurance' [Great Divide] does not provide coverage…." The Sixth Circuit found that the term "provides" could reasonably mean either "provide for" or "undertakes to deliver," and that under the latter interpretation, Westchester's duty to defend IMG would have been triggered "when Great Divide wrongfully denied coverage." Finding the policy language susceptible to two reasonable interpretations, the appellate court construed the term "provides" against its drafter, Westchester, and held that "Westchester had a duty to defend IMG after Great Divide wrongfully denied coverage."
The second clause that afforded IMG defense coverage from Westchester provided that: "[i]f no other insurer defends, [Westchester] will undertake to do so, but [Westchester] will be entitled to the insured's rights against all those other insurers." The Sixth Circuit concluded that no other insurer had undertaken IMG's defense at the time IMG asked Westchester to defend it in the Gastaldi suit, given the primary carrier's refusal to defend IMG, thus triggering Westchester's duty to defend. In finding in favor of IMG on Westchester's duty to defend, the Court also disagreed with the trial court's conclusions that (1) Westchester's duty to defend "expired" when IMG settled with Great Divide and (2) was conditioned on its retention of subrogation rights allowing Westchester to recover payments from another insurer. First, with regard to the expiration argument, the Court noted that Ohio law provides that an insurer's duty to defend is determined at the time the underlying action is brought and thus, the district court's conclusion that Westchester's obligation to defend expired when Great Divide and IMG settled was incorrect, since the breach occurred several years prior to the settlement. Second, the Court found that nothing in the relevant portions of the Westchester policy made Westchester's duty to defend contingent on a right of subrogation against the primary insurer," concluding that "obtaining or preserving subrogation rights was not a condition precedent to Westchester's duty."
The IMG decision serves as a substantial victory for policyholders, as it provides support for broader indemnity coverage and likewise, reaffirms the public policy that insureds should not be left holding the bag when a primary carrier refuses to defend; the excess carrier might be obligated to step up to the plate. It should also serve as a reminder to policyholders that when a primary carrier denies its duty to defend, this denial itself may actually trigger an excess carrier's defense obligation.

Skip to comments.Obama Officials Sat In On Solyndra Meetings
Posted on 09/09/2011 7:49:12 AM PDT by sunmars
Officials from the Department of Energy have for months been sitting in on board meetings as "observers" at Solyndra, getting an up-close view as the solar energy company careened towards bankruptcy after spending more than $500 million in federal loan money.
Word of the Energy Department's unusual arrangement came as federal agents on Thursday converged on the California headquarters of the failed solar company, focusing fresh attention on the first corporate beneficiary of President Obama's stimulus program to create new clean energy jobs.
The company, which closed its doors last week and laid off 1,100 workers, has been a subject of an ongoing series of stories by the Center for Public Integrity's iWatch News in collaboration with ABC News.
Questions about the loan have been simmering for months. In 2009, the Energy Department put Solyndra's application on a fast-track for approval, and announced the award with great fanfare. The generous terms of the government loan included the lowest interest of all the green projects benefitting from Energy Department help, iWatch News and ABC News found.
And as part of the deal, the Energy Department agreed that if the company went bust, private investors could recoup their losses before the government. Republicans in Congress called the investment "a bad bet" and said it "put taxpayers at unnecessary risk."
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
It's also a very easy story for the public to follow..just connect the dots...the Dems were soooo eager to make this happen..for the PR..that they pushed it along rapidly..didn't conceal their tracks...
Too late.
Holder and Ubama sent the FBI in to "raid" the place and get control of the evidence.
It's all washed up or gone by now.
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Doesn't mean all the evidence was sitting there in the Solyndra offices, however. In fact, insofar as investors and board members are concerned, probably little of it was.
That means that someone in the PowerBroker Community has decided to cut Obama loose.
good luck with that........
...ABC has a vested interest - I see that they plug their partnership with the "Center for Public Interest iWatch division". If it takes a Democrat scandal to get this baby off the ground, then so be it - seems to be the thinking at ABC.
Those who have been chosen to take a prison term for this, have copies of data squirreled away.
They ain't doin' time on Obama's crime.
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking!
At least China is still making the solar panels./s
And thank goodness Gibson doesn't have the proper wood to make those terrorist guitars. /s squared
Sounds like the old USSR where all companies had to have political officers present to operate.
I believe it was Jonah Goldberg who wrote a few days ago that there is no such thing as crony capital. Well, Jonah, here it is. Supporters of the President, i.e., cronies were handed $535 million from the feds. That is a return on investment that we non-cronies can only dream of.
Solyndra is crony capitalism in all its glory.
Why is it surprising that administration officials sat in on the Board meetings? This IS the world's first fascist government since Nazi Germany, it only stands to reason that this would happen.
I believe the Left is now going to begin the process of forcing Obama out of his re-election bid.
We've seen the media slowly start to turn on him.
The bigwigs in the Party who KNOW about the origins of his birth are going to urge him to resign due to "health concerns" which will be entirely plausible given his history of smoking....
Yep. All shredded by now.
Just following orders you know.
Laz, it is exactly 0bama's MO to throw some flunkies under the bus. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. Will the flunkies get the "carrot & stick combination" to get them to go quietly, or will the squeal on 0bama's administration? And if they do squeal, will it get any play in the media?
Even though it might serve ABC's interests in getting their "public interest" off the ground, they aren't going to let any dirt get on 0bama or Holder. I think it's just going to be another installment of left-wing night at the Kabuki theater.
"Solar Gate"...I'm first!
No special prosecutors. Their role is actually to bury corruption by dragging out investigations for years.
Bingo. Why don't more people see this?
And all this media "coverage" is bullshit so then they can report that nothing was found and the administration is squeaky clean.
"And to make sure the money is properly spent, were building on reforms weve already put in place. No more earmarks. No more boondoggles."
Solyndra Filing a Disaster for Obama
In a blow to the Obama administration's efforts to create green jobs, solar-cell maker Solyndra announced Wednesday that it will close its remaining Fremont factory, lay off its 1,100 employees and file for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy represents a high-profile failure for a federal stimulus program that gives loan guarantees to green-tech manufacturers. Solyndra was the first company to win one of the guarantees, receiving $535 million in 2009.
...Yea, on this thread. Bravo...
A ready made Republican campaign commercial! Obama green Initiative Bankrupt!
How about SOLARGATE!
What did the president know and when did he know it?
Did they actually get and spend half a billion? I'm reading elsewhere (including some FR posts) that they did not.
Was Solyndra a union shop? I know its situated in Union city, perhaps that means the entire city is union...
That was the first thought that came to mind when I heard of the raid.
Friday news dump.
Solyndra Board Meeting:
"Gentleman, things are not going well. We have spent all our money on the wrong things, and the Company is headed towards bankruptcy."
Obama Cabinet Meeting:
"Gentleman, things are not going well. We have spent all our money on the wrong things, and the Country is headed towards bankruptcy."
The FBI and Holder are part of the document destruction team to eliminate all links with the Obama administration. It will be years before we learn the facts, if at all.
Wow! From an NBC affiliate:
President Obama faces political catastrophe in the form of Solyndra .....
"President Obama faces political catastrophe in the form of Solyndra....."
They used to report these types of things about the Great Klinton, and then a couple of paragraphs later they'd tell us where to send cash for his legal defense fund.
I think a joint committee of congress on the scale of Watergate or Iran/Contra should be convened immediately.
It would have been fun to give a republican response last night in front of these offices. It will make a great backdrop for commercials in the next election.
Somewhere in line behind them are we, the taxpayers, who involuntarily helped fund this modern Teapot Dome boondoggle.
I is for Impeach.
All in favor..
The 'I's have it.
Kudos to Qbert for finding this little gem. I'll post for further reference:
OMG! Who in the Energy Dept. thinks they can bypass a bankruptcy judge and screw the taxpayers?
Umm, not really. Solyndra was half a billion. The "jobs bill" (that doesn't exist except in the mind of potus) is half a trillion. I know its confusing. I get my billions and trillions mixed up too, especially when I balance my checkbook.
Holder should have been forced to step down a couple of years ago after he left black racist go when they were outside the polling booth intimidating voters and then went on to say his people.
Add that to how there is a racist program in place letting blacks go while going after whites.
Add the fast and furious program too this as well.
This admin stinks of corruption and if this was a republican admin the biased media would have ripped them apart by now.
I'm not sure, but I bet they are using consultants from the group that screwed over the Chrysler bond holders.
"Holder and Ubama sent the FBI in to raid the place and get control of the evidence"
Solyndra has been "Solaundered."
Actually - the coverup is excellent news -
Means there was something there to cover up - beyond their usual incredible incompetence.
Remember - all we need is one "Monica's Dress". In a company that just failed and laid off 1,000 - I bet someone has something nice on a thumb drive somewhere.
this is both the most corrupt and most stupid administration in history. When the dam breaks - it will be a flood.
Won't be enough to brinmg him down on its own, but may work well with Palin's perfectly positioned campaign.

April 20, 2012
Despite the suggestion of the old adage, the two best teams in the WHL's Western Conference on paper are also the two who will meet up in the Conference final, a berth in the Championship Series on the line as they begin battle Friday night in Kennewick, Washington.
The yin: the defensively stingy Tri-City Americans, led by head coach Jim Hiller and goaltender Ty Rimmer. The yang: the high-flying Portland Winterhawks, loaded with offensive stars, led by their dynamic duo of Sven Bärtschi and Ty Rattie.
Tri-City finished as the best defensive club in the Western league this season, averaging just 2.64 goals against per game. That qualifies them as third best in the nation between Niagara, London and Shawinigan. Portland were the league's best offence by a long-shot, but finished just behind Québec's Victoriaville in the entire Canadian Hockey League as far as goals per game goes. They were last season's Conference champions, as well, and return many of their stars.
The teams appeared to be on a collision course at the start of the post-season, and despite the hiccups in their respective Western semifinal series', where both had to win Game 7s on Wednesday night. Despite this, the teams are focused for tonight, as both put in strong performances heading in. "I thought we played one of the best games we played all year on Wednesday night," Rattie told the Oregonian. "We're exactly where we wanted to be at the beginning of the year."
As for Tri-City, they put together a dominant performance in puck possession Wednesday, out-shooting rival Spokane (avenging last season's playoff defeat) 48-19 in the most important game of their season. Ams coach Hiller had some very positive things to say about the way both teams played:
"If you caught one of these games, you were treated to some of the best junior hockey entertainment you are going to see," Tri-City coach Jim Hiller said. "Both teams did everything they could. What else can you ask?
"There wasn't one shift in the last 12 days or seven games that either team could have relaxed. Every game was decided by one goal — two goals was the empty net. No team had a lead of more than two goals. There was not once where you thought it was over." [Canadian Press]
Tri-City, you see, can also run and gun with the big boys. They do boast runaway WHL scoring champion Brendan Shinnimin and line mate Adam Hughesman as one of the stronger one-two punches offensively in the league. Shinnimin followed up his 134 points in 69 games regular season effort with 18 points in 11 games with the Ams in the first bit of the playoffs.
But that doesn't account for the best postseason performance. As mentioned above, the Winterhawks hold onto Rattie and Bärtschi, Rattie playing healthy after being bumped in Game 4 of the second round series and not playing at 100% at the admission of his coach Mike Johnston. Yet due to his dominant play before that, the St. Louis Blues draft pick has scored 23 points in 11 games, with 13 goals to lead the playoffs.
One factor in deciding the eventual winner might be which team keeps its cool in a rivalry tinged with dislike.
"In this series here, there's a lot of skill on both sides, so nobody wants to go over the edge," Johnston said. "Nobody wants to get into an area where you take too many penalties, because the other team's power play is very effective." [The Columbian]
Since the top-end talent on this team may be somewhat equal, it could be decided by more than star power, not like there's any lacking in this series. The two clubs accounted for four of the six players on the WHL Western Conference First All-Star Team, with Rimmer and Shinnimin representing the Ams, and Rattie along with two-way defenceman Joe Morrow, a first-round pick of the Pittsburgh Penguins last NHL Draft.
(1) Tri-City Americans (50-18-2-2, 104 pts, beat Everett 4-0 and Spokane 4-3) vs. (2) Portland Winterhawks (49-19-3-1, 102 pts, beat Kelowna 4-0 and Kamloops 4-3)
Season series: Tri-City 6-4-0-0. Odds favour: Portland by 51%. Prediction: Americans in 7.
Veteran Leadership: The Winterhawks had 11 players from last year's team that lost in the WHL championship series last season to the Kootenay Ice return this season, including overagers William Wrenn and Olivier Gabriel. Wrenn, the captain, acts as not only a foil for his fellow defencemen like Morrow who like to jump up into the rush, but he doesn't take a lot of penalties. A few timely shorthanded goals last series prevented their penalty kill from allowing a goal every game.
For Tri-City, their overage players all returned from last season's playoff defeat, in Shinnimin, Hughesman, and checking centreman Mason Wilgosh. Wilgosh, who scored just 9 goals in the regular season, has come alive in the playoffs with 4 already in the 11 games.
Advantage: Portland.
Goaltending: Tri-City has the obvious edge here. Ty Rimmer, as noted above, was one of the top goaltenders of the regular season, leading the league in save percentage and was second to Medicine Hat's Tyler Bunz in overall output. He had a rough outing in his last three playoff starts (although his team bailed him out and won two of them) allowing nine goals on 67 shots. Despite those hiccups, his save percentage of .922 has stayed consistent through the post-season, and he's the goalie who can both steal you a game, and you can count on to play consistently every night.
For Portland's Mac Carruth, to say he had a rough second round would be an understatement. After posting a .904 in the regular season, which was slightly above league average, Carruth stonewalled the Kelowna Rockets in Round 1 and stopped 103 of 109 in the first three games of Round 2. He then proceeded to allow 18 on the next 109, letting Kamloops back into the series, before stealing it with a shutout in Game 7.
Advantage: Tri-City
Special Teams:
You can't really fault a Portland penalty kill that scored two goals for every three it gave up in the second round (they gave up six, but two of their four shorthanded tallies were scored on an empty net), but keeping this group from taking too many penalties is something Johnston is going to have to look at. When you have players like Gabriel or Brad Ross who often play on the edge, they're going to give up opportunities to the other team. Portland's powerplay isn't something you want to face, but in the second round they fired at just 21.4% efficiency, which was above their 5th-ranked regular season powerplay that fired at 19.6%
But Tri-City had even more trouble in the second round on the powerplay, scoring just 3 goals in 26 attempts. The PP was a place that the Americans had trouble in the regular season, clicking at just 10th in the league, but they made up for it by being a dominant team at even strength. I don't have total powerplay numbers, but it's worth noting their games this postseason have seen considerably less overall special team's opportunities than Portland. Their games tend to be cleaner and they stay out of the box, winning games that way. Hopefully we see a lot of 5-on-5 action.
Advantage: Portland.
Why Portland should win: They're a powerful team whose offensive talents far exceed that of their opponent's. Aside from Rattie and Bärtschi, the man in the middle on the line, Marcel Noebels, is often left forgotten about, and he's picked up 11 assists in the playoffs thus far. Their depth is quite staggering with Ross, Brendan Leipsic and Cam Reid as players who can contribute on the second line, (in fact, Brad Ross is looking more and more every game like a player who will be in the NHL some day. Not only is he very skilled around the net, but he has that agitation edge to his game that rattles cages) and they also have two very strong puck movers in Morrow and rookie Derrick Pouliot.
While Pouliot is young and susceptible to turnovers, he still has the ability to move the play forward every step of the ice. Behind him, the defensive stability of William Wrenn and Tyler Wotherspoon made sure that Carruth saw fewer shots than the average league goalie this season (30.7 vs. 31.7). They aren't a team that has to rely on their goaltending, and the teams that make it the easiest for themselves are the ones that score the most goals and allow the fewest shots. Portland have the upper hand in both categories. They also threw 40 shots on Ty Rimmer's net four times during the season series, and cracked 50 twice. Despite losing both Ryan Johansen and Nino Neiderreiter from last season to the NHL, their carry overs haven't slouched.
How Tri-City could win: Simply, I think that Ty Rimmer is the kind of guy who can steal a series, and we haven't seen Tri-City's powerplay click as it could and should given the offensive talent they have available. Their depth isn't as stunning, but their second line with Wilgosh, Justin Feser and Swedish import Malte Strömwall has clicked for nine goals so far. They could give you a sneaky goal or two in what should be a wide-open series, maybe look for the smooth-taking Mitch Topping or big 6'0-200 Zachary Yuen to jump up in the play and catch the Portland D unawares.
With stronger goaltending, and knowing that they've outscored Portland in the season series (and put up 3.8 goals per game against them), does it concern them that Portland boast one of the best offences in the entire CHL? The shots they give up aren't as high quality as other teams', simply because they come at even strength. The Americans were still the second-least penalized team in the WHL this season, Jesse Mychan having calmed down since a trade brought him over from Everett, and not boasting a single 100-PIM player who spent the entire year with the team.
Discipline, goaltending, and top-end scoring. Portland may have the better team, but Tri-City are loaded with the type of pieces that can counter them effectively. It will be a great series, but in the end, I think it will be Tri-City going through to compete for the Ed Chynoweth Cup.

Skip to comments.THIS IS HOW ONE GROUP OF CATHOLICS RESPONDED TO CHANTS OF HAIL, SATAN! [PHOTOS]
Posted on 06/28/2014 9:43:48 AM PDT by NYer
Last summer, pro-abortion protesters shouted "Hail, Satan!" in the Texas statehouse as the late-term abortion ban was under debate. It was a messy, agitated scene — a battlefield between the forces of good and evil:
Fast forward to this past feast of Corpus Christi Sunday, where a very different event took place in the same building (click here for larger size):
What are you seeing? Let's zoom in:
That's right! Over 1,000 Catholics participated in a Eucharistic procession and adoration inside the state capitol! It marks the first time (to my knowledge) that Catholics publicly adored the Blessed Sacrament in their state capitol.
What a beautiful way of responding after all the ugliness that took place in this same location last year. And what an appropriate way to celebrate and give thanks for the pro-life victories that have been achieved over the past year!
The event, described by one lead organizer as "evangelization at the grassroots level", resulted from years of fruitful collaboration between lay leaders, deacons and priests, the Knights of Colombus, the bishop's office and Texas politicians.
The organizers have been receiving inquiries from other Catholics around the country about how they might participate next year. Saint Mary Cathedral and the Knights of Columbus (Council 14055) deserve special credit for hosting and providing much of the financial backing for this evangelization outreach.
I hope Catholics in other states consider doing something similar in their own capitols. Our faith is beautiful when we express it!
All photos (except where noted) are by Arlen Nydam and used with permission. You can view his slideshow of this Corpus Christi procession here including the stunning panorama photo from inside the capitol — please support his work!
You will no doubt find this extremely gratifying.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! Wouldn't it be grand if processions took place in every town in America?
For what purpose: worshipping a wafer or proclaiming the saving grace of Jesus Christ?
How beautiful! If only more faithful Christians, whether Catholic or Protestant would boldly follow suit!
Why don't you just count your sour grapes before they hatch.
I am not a Catholic but I think they did a wonderful, brave, thing.
God Bless them. I wish all of us Christians were as demonstrative about our faith.
"Our faith is beautiful when we express it!"
Might have a hard time getting those sabers past the metal detectors though. :)
.......especially after a "gay pride" march/parade!!!
From "Hail Satan" to "Fail Satan."
I know you are kidding, but Knights of Columbus are defenders of the faith and always accompany a Bishop in ceremonial events. Their uniforms are from other times. They have not been updated. They raise a lot of money for different groups at the Church.
We worship Christ and we proclaim Him. These two actions are not just compatible, they are indivisible.
You obviously just don't get it.
LOL! Thanks for the chuckle. I'll have to remember that.
There is no substitute for Christ and the sacrifice He made on the cross. We are justified by faith and not by works, so that no man can boast.
Don't stalk people, and don't start pinging them to threads to continue some personal grudge you have.
I love that they had a daylight walking procession! This is how we used to publicly celebrate Mary in the month of May. Everyone come outside to enjoy the green and blossoming splendor of God's Spring and Summer seasons. More of it, please. Look at all the little children there, who will never forget experiencing this event with their families. What a grandly built structure. It would be perfect for Opera i.e. Handel's Messiah. The actual date this occurred is not indicated. I;m surprised nobody was bellyaching about a state owned building being used for "gasp!" Christian Religious Ceremony!
Just dial 1-800-PAPIST THUGS 4Jesus and press "2" to hear this message en espanol
I understand you have an interest in Texas and its religious makeup. As such, this article seems right up your alley. Pinging is not stalking. And I do most earnestly protest your characterization of me -- I hold a grudge against no man, woman, or animal.
No need to get grumpy. Peace out big dipper.
You made that up, the religious makeup of Texas or any state is about the most routine and easiest information one can find.
You pinged me to argue about something, what is it?
That wafer becomes the Body of Christ; Christ is worshipped, not the wafer.
I have no interest in arguing with you, brother. If this article is not of interest to you as I had thought, go in peace.
Good, when I looked at your previous posts to me, I'm glad that you have decided to not pursue what you pinged me for, especially since it has nothing to do with this thread whatsoever.
The Catholics are doing just that. God Bless them.
Amen,. Thank you for posting this tribute to our Lord.
We will be in full Regalia tonight. Our Monsignor is celebrating his 60th Anniversary as a priest tonight and the Bishop of Washington is coming in for the Mass.
I have to agree with "left that other site". I think there's a real revival going on in the Catholic Church. They have been very vocal against a lot of things Obama and company have been trying to push. They have and continue to fight the pro-life fight. I salute their efforts and pray for them. They have been the voice of the Church in America when other denominations seem frustratingly silent. PTL!
Keep the tough guy act to yourself. And the insults too. No one here wants to hear it or should have to.
If you have too much of a problem with that, then you are not adult and mature enough for this forum.
Grow up. Or leave. Make up your mind, then stick to that.
I would certainly like to be a part of a procession to our capitol building in Salem, OR.
Are you aware of transubstantiation?
The substance of bread is transferred into the Body of Christ.
It is the Body of Christ that people are kneeling down for and worshipping.
God bless you as you learn more.
Thank you. And God bless you and yours, as well.
We all should be free to scrutinize doctrine, without fear. Through reading the Word and prayer, the Holy Spirit will reveal to us what is truth. But this Reagan guy is off the wall.
"I don't know what his problem is."
Really? You don't think that "his problem" might be your irreverence toward God, His sacraments, and His Church?
ReaganÜberAlles, sorry, I should have pinged you to post # 37. My apologies.
This is amazing. May God bless those people who participated.

2016 8th Annual Red Drum Tournament
Announcing NCBBA's 8th Annual Red Drum Tournament
It is time to register for this year's tournament. This year's event will be held October 19, 20, 21, and 22, 2016 on the northern beaches of Hatteras Island. In 2009 the NCBBA Board of Directors (BOD) voted to take this on as a fundraiser for our continued fight for "free & open vehicular beach access". Now in its 8h year this has become our largest fundraising event of the year. The 4 day event will once again be hosted by & headquartered at Frank & Fran's in Avon with registration beginning at 10:00 A.M. on 19th. Fishing begins at 12:01 A.M. October 20th & continues until noon October 22nd. We are hoping for sweeping changes to ORV restrictions that we are currently saddled with, now that the National Defense Authorization Act 2015 has passed. But past experience working with our government, we all know that they move at a slower pace than most everyone else. But if the same rules apply, this tournament is "Grandfathered" under the Final Rule, so the Northern Beaches between Ramp #23 & Ramp #38 that are otherwise closed will be open. (Subject to Resource Closures for turtles) This is your opportunity to fish these areas! The chains will be removed & signs covered by NPS by 8:00 A.M. October 19th.
The tournament has space for 300 paid anglers plus positions for 36 judges and other officials. Applications are available for everyone at Frank & Fran's and on line at: www.ncbba.org. You do not have to be a NCBBA member to participate. The $100.00 tournament entry fee includes: tournament hat, BJ's famous meatloaf dinner on Wednesday evening during the General Rules Meeting & Saturday night's Tournament Banquet. If you register by September 1st, you will also receive a tournament t-shirt!
Judges are needed! Without them, we could not have a tournament of this type. If you are interested in being a judge you will be compensated for your time with a free entry into the tournament for the times when you are not judging. (Your Entry Fee will be refunded during registration on the 19th.) Each judge works a 6 hour shift at least twice during the 3 day event. Each judge will be assigned a ramp to work and will need a 4x4 vehicle with NPS ORV Permit & be able to cover a 3 or 4 mile area between the ramps. Depending on the draw, some judges are scheduled to do an additional 4 hour shift Saturday afternoon. At least 36 people are needed for these positions.
Head Judge for this year's tournament will again be David Flanigan. He will again be assisted by Bobby Halstead. Ervin Gaskins will assist me as Co-Chairman.
Again this year, we will be collecting non-perishable food items for the Hatteras Island Food Pantry & new unwrapped toys for the Dare County children who otherwise may not have a present to open this Christmas. Please drop off your donations at Frank & Fran's during the event. We will also accept cash donations anytime during the event. Checks should be made payable to NCBBA & put Toys or Hatteras Island Methodist Men in the memo line on the check.
The NCBBA BOD and Frank & Fran's look forward to seeing you this fall and hope the weather and fish cooperate, making a fish catching fun time for all.
Tight Lines!

Sarandon's Big Night
Actress and social activist Susan Sarandon, 53, was honored before 400 friends and guests in New York last night for her work on behalf of the Center for Constitutional Rights, a civil rights group. The mood of the event was low-key and mellow, but that didn't stop Tim Robbins, Sarandon's partner of 12 years, from eliciting some big yuks from the crowd in speaking about his companion. As for what endears Sarandon to him, he said, "She's loved by both die-hard Rangers fans and die-hard drag queens." Sarandon, visibly moved and crying when presented an award, noted, "In the end, it's only community and family that's going to be the measure of your life." Looking out at her assembled admirers and friends, she added, "And you can see the family I have."

Hey guys,
In light of recent events, my xbox main board stopped working. The problem is the CMOS cap leaked and must have broke something since it no longer powers on. I have checked the board, but I can't find a clear indication of what happened. I have also tried powering the board on it's own and with a different power supply.
It's a 1.1 (according to eeprom), PAL and unmodified at the board level. I'd send the board only but I'll also send you the EEPROM image aswell so that if it is revived, you can lock a harddisk onto it.
I'm looking for a replacement board which is also PAL, and one that isn't v1.0 or v1.6 (I don't want to mod the case).
I know I'm going out on a limb tradig non-working for working, but with others offering xbox boards for $50+ in some cases I may aswell buy a new xbox, so I'd try my luck replacing the faulty component.
I'm based in the UK, but I'll ship it out to other countries for no cost

Environmental Studies Awards
The environmental studies department at UCSC is proud to offer undergraduates and graduates the opportunity to earn awards and scholarships for their achievements.

Berry Craig: The folks at Fox aren't real newshounds. They're rabble-rousing hacks in the tradition of the country's old-time partisan press.
Beyond Outrage
Robert Reich: I have never been as concerned as I am now about the future of our democracy, the corrupting effects of big money in our politics, the stridency and demagoguery of the regressive right, and the accumulation of wealth and power at the very top.
Let Us Now Occupy Reality
Robert Illes: "Occupy" is in the third stage of Gandhi's meme about how non-violent resistance, and civil disobedience works. We have seen the movement ignored. Then we saw it ridiculed. Now we're seeing it being fought. The next step: "… then you win."
Government's Dead; Now What?
If all information is controlled by the corporations will they spew propaganda to distract and convince the masses how lucky they are and how they need to be good consumers? Will entertainment continue it's decent to the lowest common denominator because it sells corporate products?

George Prescott Bush, Yes, ANOTHER One, Considering Run for State Office
Honestly, I thought George Foreman had a lot of Georges in his family, but now I'm beginning to wonder if the Bush clan doesn't have him beat. First there was George H.W. Bush, then George W. Bush. Now, there's George P. Bush (maybe even P.G. if you count his second middle name), son to Jeb and grandson to H.W. Confused yet?
Anyway, George P. is a lawyer in Fort Worth and he is considering taking aim at the old family legacy: politics, in this case Texas Land Commissioner, which may not sound like much, but it packs quite the political wallop.
According to a story on the Huffington Post Web site, George P. has yet to decide if he'll throw his 10-gallon hat in the ring for a specific post, but he does have political aspirations and many Republicans believe that because he is half Mexican (his mother, Columba, was born in Mexico), he could help bridge the gap between Mexican voters and the GOP.
Instead, he spoke of how his past experience as an asset manager would help him manage the Permanent Schools Fund, which pays for public education and is managed by the land commissioner. He also said his perspective as an Afghanistan war veteran will help him use the post to become a leader in veterans' affairs.
Bush said he would announce his final decision after the Texas Legislature adjourns in May but added that his choice will depend "where the governor's thinking is." Perry, who flamed out as a presidential candidate but remains popular in Texas, says he'll reveal this summer if he will seek another term.
Some have speculated that Bush could challenge Perry for governor - and even if he doesn't, what Perry decides will trigger political dominos falling.
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson plans to run for lieutenant governor next year, creating a vacancy in his office. But Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican, may himself run for governor in 2014, meaning his post could be open too.
On the whole Hispanics still vote predominantly Democratic even if that means voting against a candidate with similar ethnic heritage, so it is questionable whether someone with George P.'s background would have much success making inroads into a community that has largely spurned the GOP, particularly sporting his surname.
But, one thing is certain, there's a new Bush in town with a new initial and, like the Kennedys, they just won't seem to go away.

Vermilion Catholic slips past Crowley in extra innings
CROWLEY – Missed opportunities and a late defensive collapse proved costly for the Crowley Gents Wednesday afternoon at Miller Stadium.
The Gents (4-7) failed to capitalize on early scoring opportunities, leaving seven runners stranded through seven innings, and then fell apart defensively in the eighth inning, committing three errors in the extra frame as Vermilion Catholic rallied for a 5-1 victory.
"We had a lot of missed opportunities tonight," said CHS coach Christian Doughty following the loss. "I never look at it as one inning cost us a ballgame. We did not play well in the eighth inning, but it was the little things that we didn't do throughout the game that I felt like cost us."
The Gents had numerous opportunities to plate runs throughout the game, but a lack of timely hitting as well as base running mistakes thwarted potential big innings for the home team.
The Gents left three runners stranded in the first two innings, two in scoring position, and had a runner thrown out at the plate in the third frame to end the inning.
"We haven't done of good job of stringing hits together this year," said Doughty. "That's why, when we do get consecutive hits, with two outs, we're running. They're going to have to throw us out at home because we just don't do a good job of stringing along hits.
"If we have back-to-back hits and have a chance to score a man, he's got to go. That's just the nature of it."
With the score tied at 1-1, the Gents threatened in the fourth when Taylor Doughty reached base on an infield single and Brody Deshotel doubled to left field. Then with one out, Steven Bertrand was intentionally walked to load the bases. Mickey Morgan's chopper to third base allowed Vermilion Catholic to cut a run down at the plate for the second out.
Two pitches later, Eagles' catcher Aaron David caught Deshotel straying too far off third base and picked him off to end the inning.
"We just didn't capitalize in situations where we had runners in scoring position," said Doughty. "You have to score runs when you're in that position (bases loaded and one out). Having a base running mistake in that critical time of the game was huge."
Taylor Doughty kept the Gents in position to get the victory. He scattered seven hits and walked four through seven innings before giving way to freshman Bradly Ancelet in the eighth.
Ancelet gave up just one hit and one walk, but the Gents committed three errors that led to four unearned runs in the frame.
"I thought we did a lot of good things," said coach Doughty. "I thought Taylor pitched well enough to keep us in the game. They (VC) were never able to string a lot together as far as runs were concerned. We got out of a few big innings where they had runners in scoring position. I am just disappointed in our overall play."
Deshotel paced the Gents with three hits, including a double, and Morgan followed with two hits. Kaleb Cormier had a double, Bertrand added a RBI single and Doughty rounded out the offense with a single.
The Eagles had eight hits on the day. Blair Landry led the charge with three hits while Hayden Ryder and Ryan Domingue each had a single and a RBI. Derek Broussard added a double and Stephan Guidry and Etienne Trahan each had a single.
Crowley took on Cecilia yesterday in the first game of the Westminster Tournament but results were not available at press time. The Gents return to action Saturday morning when they round out tournament play against Avoyelles at 9 a.m.
