Limbu is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken in Nepal, India (Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Sikkim, Assam, and Nagaland), Bhutan, Burma, Thailand, UK, Hong Kong, Canada, and USA. It is falsely believed that Limbus/Yakthungs are multi-lingual, but there are hundred and/or thousand of Yakthungs who speak only in Yakthungpan (Limbu language). Limbus refer to themselves as Yakthung and their language as Yakthungpan. Yakthungpan has four main dialects such as Phedape, Chhathare, Tambarkhole, and Panthare dialects. The theoretical concept of four major Yakthungpan dialects is much more ideological because scholars, writers, and linguists have not yet done scientific research on the Yakthungpan, spoken in Sikkim, Bhutan, Assam, Burma, and Thailand. Meaning, there can be definitely more than four Yakthungpan dialects. To officially announce that there are only four major major Yakthung dialects is a blindspot of ideological and political thinking without doing proper research in other Yakthungpan speaking communities such as in India, Bhutan, and Thailand (and even beyond).
Among four dialects and/or many dialects, Phedape dialect is widely spoken and well understood by most Yakthungpan speakers. However, as there are some dominant Panthare scholars who have role to create knowledge and control knowledge in the Limbu communities, Panthare dialect is being popularized as a "standard" Limbu language. As Panthare Yakthungs are much more engaged in central political position and administrative positions, they are trying to introduce Panthare dialect as a Standard Yakthungpan.
Yakthungpan (Limbu language) is one of the major languages spoken and written in Nepal, Darjeeling, Kalimpong, Sikkim, Bhutan, Burma, and Thailand. Today, linguists have reached the conclusion that Yakthungpan resembles Tibetan and Lepcha.
Before the introduction of Sirijanga script among Limbu Kiratas, Rong script was popular in East Nepal specially in early Maurong state. Sirijanga script had almost disappeared for 800 years and it was brought into practice again by Tey-Angsi Sirijunga Xin Thebe of Tellok Sinam.
Geographical distribution[edit]
Limbu is spoken east of the Arun River in the following districts of Nepal (Ethnologue).
- Kosi Zone
- Mechi Zone
Ethnologue lists the following dialects of Limbu.
- Dialect cluster 1
- Panthare
- Chaubise (Charkhole)
- Yanggrokke (Yanggruppe)
- Dialect cluster 2
- Phedappe
- Tamorkhole (Taplejunge)
- Dialect cluster 3
- Chhatthare (Chatthare, Chhathar)
Yanggrokke, Chaubise, and Charkhole are minor variants of the Panthare dialect. Phedappe and Tamorkhole are similar. Chattare is less well understood by other dialect speakers. The Limbu dialect spoken in Sikkim, India is the same as Panthare.
Limbu, Lepcha and Newari are the only Sino-Tibetan languages of the Central Himalayas with their own scripts.[3] The Kiranti or Limbu script was devised during the period of Buddhist expansion in Sikkim in the early 18th century when Limbuwan still constituted part of Sikkimese territory.[4] The Kiranti script was probably designed roughly at the same time as the Lepcha script (during the reign of the third King of Sikkim, Phyag-dor Nam-gyal (ca. 1700-1717)). However, it is widely believed that the Kiranti (Sirijanga) script had been designed by the King Sirijanga in the 9th century. The Sirijanga script was later designed by Tey-Angsi Singthebe. As Te-onsi Singthebe spent most of his time in the development of Yakthungpan, Yatkhung culture, and Sirijanga script, he is considered as the reincarnation of the King Sirijanga.
As Te-ongsi Singthebe was astoundingly influential person to spread Yakthung script, culture, and language, Tasong monks feared him. Tasong monks feared that Tey-Angsi might transform the social, cultural, and linguistic structure of Sikkim. Therefore, Tasong monks caputured Te-ongsi, bound on a tree, and shot to death with poisonous arrows.
Both Kiranti and Lepcha were ostensibly devised with the intent of furthering the spread Buddhism. However, Sirijanga was a Limbu Buddhist who had studied under Sikkimese high Lamas. Sirijanga was given the title 'the Dorje Lama of Yangrup'.
The language and script's influential structure are mixture of Tibetan and Devanagari. Unlike most other Brahmic scripts, it does not have separate independent vowel characters, instead using a vowel carrier letter with the appropriate dependent vowel attached.
The Limbu language and literature has been less practiced in Nepal since the last eighteenth century. The cultural identity of any community was taken as a threat to the national unification by ruling elites until the recent years. The use of Limbu alphabets was banned and the possession of Limbu writings outlawed. There were no specific laws about it, but the Security Act was enforced for such cases under the strong directives of Kathmandu.
Limbu has its own unique writing system, which is similar to Tibetan and Sikkimese scripts. The Sirijanga script is unique and scientifically designed by King Sirijanga in the 9th century; it was later re/designed and popularized by Tey-Angsi Thebe and his cronies in the 18th century. Since teaching of Limbu/Yakthung language and writing was banned by the Khas-Hindus in Nepal after the "Noon Pani Sandhi" between the Limbuwan and Gorkha Kingdom (Prithvi Narayan Shah), far more Limbus are literate in Nepali than in Limbu in Nepal. Although many Limbu books were written in Devanagari and Roman (English), now Limbus/Yakthungs have well developed computerized writing system and many books are published in Sirijanga script.
History of Limbu writing can be divided into the following ways:
Historical Development of Yakthung rhetoric and writing:
1. Classical Susuba Lilim Yakthunghang period: King Sirijanga and his cronies (9th century AD) 2. Medieval Susuba Lilim Yakthunghang period: Tey-Angsi Thebe and his cronies (18th century AD Limbuwan (includes Limbuwan and Sikkim) movement. 3. Modern Period:
First Generation Limbu writers and rhetors: Period of Jobhansing Phago, Chyangresing Phedangba, Ranadwaj Yakthung, and Ranjit Yakthung (Brian Hudgson's manuscript collection period)
Second Generation Limbu writers and rhetors: i. After the establishment of "Yakthunghang Chumlung" (1924); thereafter, several books were published. ii. Limbu script was much more influenced by Devnagari script at this period. iii. At the same time, both national and international linguists, researchers, and writers addressed the issued in this period. This period is period of inquiry, communication, discovery, and re/construction.
Third Generation Limbu writers and rhetors: This period denotes after the restoration of democracy in Nepal in 1990. Introduction of "Anipan" at school; many research and writing such as MA/MPhil theses and research reports; establishment of Limbu organization at the local and global level; period of delinking, relinking, and linking epistemologies.
Limbu language has many papers and publications in circulation. Tanchoppa ( Morning Star ), a monthly newspaper/magazine published since 1995. There are many other literary publications. The oldest known Limbu writings were collected from Darjeeling district in 1850's. They are the ancestors of the modern Limbu script. The writings are now a part of collection in India Library in London.
In Nepal, the Limbu language is taught on private initiative. The Government of Nepal has published " Ani Paan" text books in Limbu for Primary education from grades 1 to 5. Kirant Yakthung Chumlung teaches Limbu language and script in its own initiative.
In Sikkim, since late 1970s Limbu, in Limbu script has been offered in English medium schools as a vernacular language subject in areas populated by Limbus. Over 4000 students study Limbu for one hour daily taught by some 300 teachers. Course books are available in Limbu from grades 1 to 12.

Art City Looks: Graeme Reid
In a week when the big news is the appointment of Laurie Winters as director at the Museum of Wisconsin Art, it seems like a good time to stop and consider what it means to be a Wisconsin artist.
I think about this question a lot, actually. Do artists respond organically to place? What is indigenous to our region's cultural community?
I think, for instance, about how Terese Agnew began making quilts because of the cold winters here. I think about the number of artists who talk about how the long winters prompt them not only to stay inside but to turn inward in various ways. Or there are those, like Tom Uttech and David Neic, who thrive on the clear, cold Northern skies.
I think about the artists and curators who integrate quintessentially Midwestern notions into their practice, like David Robbins' Ice Cream Social TV show. In Milwaukee, a city once know as the machine shop of the world, it is interesting to consider how many artists address issues of work and labor and of the hand crafted.
There is a particular kind of independence here among artists who've embraced their obscurity here, who understand the limitations and benefits of working some distance from the art centers of New York and LA.
Graeme Reid, who will be Winters' right hand, has considered these questions for many years. Reid is one of the most familiar faces at art events, from the most contemporary of shows to the smallest of rural art fairs. He exemplifies the values of the artist he talks about in this week's Art City Looks: John Steuart Curry.

IRVING, Texas -- A 96-yard touchdown drive, followed by another touchdown 14 seconds later. A great catch on a 60-yard touchdown pass. And an 83-yard punt return for a touchdown.
So, Bill Parcells, what stuck out most about your first game coaching the Dallas Cowboys in Texas Stadium?
The mistakes, of course.
"It's just a start, something to build on, a little encouraging for me," Parcells said following a 34-6 victory over the Houston Texans on Friday night. "But I want a smart team and a smart team doesn't get eight penalties and turn the ball over twice. A dumb team does that. And dumb players are offsides three times in a row in the second half."
Quincy Carter did his best to tighten the battle for starting quarterback, recovering from a slow start to go 6-for-6 for 90 yards on the long drive and hitting Antonio Bryant on a 30-yard touchdown pass immediately after Dallas (1-1) recovered the ensuing kickoff.
With co-frontrunner Chad Hutchinson watching from the sideline, Carter went 10-of-17 for 141 yards and left with a 17-3 halftime lead.
Houston starter David Carr played the entire first half, too, and produced just one scoring drive. The Texans (0-2) took a fumble on the opening series and drove inside the Dallas 10, but settled for a 22-yard field goal by Kris Brown.
Carr completed his first seven passes, with a 29-yarder to Jabar Gaffney on the first drive, and finished 12-of-16 for 96 yards. He was sacked twice; it would've been three but he was flagged for intentional grounding.
"We've got some things we need to take care of protection-wise that I'm actually glad happened tonight than in Miami (season opener) or definitely in the season," said Carr, who was sacked an NFL-record 76 times last season. "I think it's just more mental breakdowns than being beaten down physically. These are things we can fix and hopefully get better."
Parcells said Thursday that nothing should be read into his decision to give Hutchinson the night off, although owner Jerry Jones said Hutchinson outplayed Carter in a 13-0 loss to Arizona in the preseason opener.
Parcells opened camp hoping to pick a starter after this game, but in announcing his QB rotation for this game he said Thursday he didn't know when he'd do it.
"This was an opportunity for Quincy and he took advantage of it," Jones said.
So did Troy Hambrick, who had minus-1 yard on four carries against the Cardinals. He ran for 11 and 10 yards on his first two carries and finished with 38 yards on eight tries. He had a 1-yard touchdown run to cap the 96-yard drive and made a key block on the TD pass to Bryant.
Carter helped himself with more than his accuracy. On the long drive, he danced away from a sack, turning a near loss into a first down from the 9 when cornerback Jason Bell was flagged for holding in the end zone.
Tony Romo, an undrafted rookie from Division I-AA Eastern Illinois, replaced Carter to start the third quarter and lost a fumble while scrambling on his first play. He bobbled his second snap, but finished 4-of-6 for 74 yards, most on a 60-yard touchdown to Randal Williams, who made a great grab over cornerback Kenny Wright.
Parcells said the quarterback made "more good decisions than bad," adding that the long drive "was a good sign, that was real positive."
Parcells also said he was encouraged by the quick score following the fumbled kickoff and by the long punt return from sixth-round pick Zuriel Smith. Parcells smiled wide and patted Smith on the back when he came to the bench.
The Texans gained just 204 yards and didn't convert a third down until rookie Dave Ragone took over in the fourth quarter. Coach Dom Capers said his team regressed from the preseason opener, a 20-12 loss to Denver.
"I was encouraged with the start last week, but disappointed with the performance tonight," Capers said. "We were a sloppy football team. We've got a lot of work to do."
Tony Hollings, a supplemental draft choice who cost Houston a second-round pick next year, had 45 yards on 14 carries in his debut. Likely starter Stacey Mack ran seven times for 16 yards.
This was the first game setting for the Cowboys and Texans since Houston stunned Dallas in its first regular-season game last September. The teams met in a scrimmage in San Antonio two weeks ago. They don't meet again in the regular season until 2006.
Houston defensive end Gary Walker and cornerback Darrick Vaughn left with sprained shoulders, and fullback Jarrod Baxter sprained a foot.
Dallas backup running back ReShard Lee sprained a knee.

Injury Woes Grow
Eakin out six weeks with knee injury; Shore injured in Saturday's practiceby Mark Stepneski @StarsInsideEdge / Inside Edge
The injury woes continue to grow for the Dallas Stars. The update on the injury center Cody Eakin suffered in Friday's practice was not good, and there was more bad news after center Devin Shore limped off the ice during the Saturday afternoon practice session.
First up was the news on Eakin, who was injured in a collision in his first practice at camp.
"Cody is going to be out in the six-week range with a knee injury," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said.

Camp: Day One
Five things I liked:
- HEB Arena - awesome venue to watch sessions and a prime AHL rink
- "Hotstovin" again. Looooove talkin' shop.
- The substantial media meat plate that was provided (Only the finest meats, cheeses, fruits and buns were assembled...and there was also some food...Buh-dum-bump!)
- The 'hidden bag skate' drills followed by the 'nets pushed out, REAL bag skate', followed by the off-ice workout (It's supposed to be hard)
- Seguin's selfie with the school kids

Stars go through tough practices as training camp opens in Cedar Parkby Mark Stepneski @StarsInsideEdge / Inside Edge
Dallas Stars hockey is back. Forty-six players hit the ice for the start of training camp Friday at the H-E-B Center at Cedar Park. Coaches split the team into two groups and ran both through a tough on-ice session that lasted about 75 minutes.
"We put them through a pretty tough battery of drills, pretty hard skate," said Stars coach Lindy Ruff.
"It wasn't easy out there, and I don't think the first day should be easy," said Stars captain Jamie Benn. "He put us through a pretty tough skate and it was a good one."
The Stars practice again Saturday and then scrimmage at the H-E-B Center Sunday. Ruff said the goal is to get things in order for Monday's preseason opener against the St. Louis Blues at American Airlines Center.

Lehtinen shaping next generation of Finnish hockey
Former Stars player thriving as Finland's General Managerby Evan Sporer @ev_sporer / NHL.com
What started out as pleasure for Jere Lehtinen has turned into business.
And lately, business has been good.
When Lehtinen finished his playing career with the Dallas Stars in 2010, a 15-year NHL tour spent entirely in the Lone Star state, he said he knew he didn't want to coach.
"But I wasn't sure what was going to happen in the future," he said.

It wasn't just that forwards and countrymen Ales Hemsky and Radek Faksa became close in the sense of 'friends' last season when Faksa was called up to the NHL.
"I was living at his house, too," Faksa said.
Faksa became an understudy of sorts, and followed Hemsky all the way onto the same line. Along with Antoine Roussel, they were a unit that earned more playing time by effectively filling a checking, defensive niche for head coach Lindy Ruff.
Statement from Dave Strader on his cancer diagnosisby Dallas Stars Staff / Press Releases
The Dallas Stars have released the following statement on behalf of Play-By-Play Announcer Dave Strader regarding his cancer diagnosis:
"With the start of the NHL season almost upon us, I wanted to share an update on my condition with everyone who has been kind enough to reach out over the past several months. In early June 2016, a tumor was found in my bile duct. I was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a fairly rare and aggressive form of cancer.
"There is no cure for my cancer. However, at this point in time, it is treatable. With advancements in all areas of cancer treatments evolving so quickly, I'm fighting every day and doing everything the doctors tell me. The Stars' organization, the fans and the entire NHL family have been so supportive. It has meant so much to me, my wife Colleen and our entire family to know that we are not in this fight alone. I will work as many games as my condition and my treatments allow. Thank you again for all your love and support."

Stars prospects rally for 5-3 win

2nd Stanley prison escapee knows a bit about forgery
Several officials have suggested that the public was never in jeopardy after a couple of inmates escaped from the Stanley Correctional Institution using forged documents last month.
The prosecutor investigating the matter isn't buying it - especially in the case of convicted killer Jimmy Baldwin. He was allowed to walk out the door, taking an Eau Claire bus to Milwaukee, where he stayed with his sister for a week.
"The remarkable thing is he stayed on the bus," said Chippewa County District Attorney Jon Theisen. "I don't understand it."
Not that Baldwin was the only violent offender allowed to walk free.
No Quarter has learned that the second Stanley escapee was Eddie G. Evans, a 57-year-old career criminal who has twice skipped out of prison in the past. According to past news reports, he escaped from the Green Bay Correctional Institution in 1976 and a Utah prison a decade later.
Old habits die hard.
Evans also spent 18 years in a Louisiana prison on armed robbery charges before being released and sent to Wisconsin in 2003 so he could serve parole near his family. Less than two months later, he stole a woman's Hyundai Elantra at gunpoint at a Madison car wash, holding his firearm just inches from her face. He led police on a wild car chase before crashing.
A Dane County judge sentenced Evans to seven years behind bars and 13 years of extended supervision. The case prompted heavy news coverage in Madison.
Evans was set to be released in January.
But, Theisen said, some forged documents purportedly trimmed his probation to just one year. More important, the prosecutor said, other fake records supposedly voided a Louisiana order that he be sent there as soon as his Wisconsin sentence ended so he could serve an additional eight years behind bars for violating parole with his carjacking conviction.
In short, Evans walked out of Stanley a free man last month instead of being sent to Louisiana and locked away in the Louisiana State Penitentiary.
Louisiana officials can't believe what happened.
"I wasn't real pleased," said Paul Farr, an Ouachita Parish, La., deputy clerk whose signature and seal were forged in the fake court documents letting Evans go free. "This is the first time this has happened to me in my 22 years here."
Only after someone alerted the FBI to Evans' escape did the plan begin to unravel.
He was arrested Jan. 26 by Middleton city cops, and he is locked in the Dane County jail for violating the terms of his parole, said Elise Schaffer, public information officer for the Dane County sheriff.
On the same day, Baldwin was nabbed at his sister's house on Milwaukee's north side.
All that prompted Stanley prison officials to conduct an audit of their records. They soon identified a third inmate who was scheduled to be released Feb. 2 with the help of some additional forged records. Those documents cut the inmate's term from 12 years in the clink to just five.
That Stanley prisoner, who has not been identified, was not released.
The three cases appear connected.
"The investigation has not revealed who did it," Theisen said regarding all the fake records. "It looks like a system, an M.O."
State corrections officials have remained largely silent about the problems at the medium-security prison in northwestern Wisconsin, saying they don't want to compromise the criminal investigation.
Stanley Police Chief Roy Fredrickson had been leading the probe, but local authorities last week asked the state to lend a hand. The state Division of Criminal Investigation, the investigatory arm of the Department of Justice, has agreed.
"As with law enforcement's investigation in Chippewa County, DCI will have the Department of Corrections' full cooperation," corrections spokeswoman Melissa Roberts said in a statement.
Theisen said he expects that he will bring criminal charges, but he didn't provide specifics. Corrections officials have said they believe Baldwin and Evans had outside help.
"I just don't know where the charges are going to be and what they're going to be," Theisen said.
In Baldwin's case, the fake records reduced his sentence from 73 years to 20 years, the prosecutor said. The change allowed him to be released Jan. 19.
A Milwaukee County jury convicted Baldwin in 1995 of first-degree reckless homicide while armed and four counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety. Baldwin and fellow members of the Vice Lords street gang fired more than 40 shots into what they believed was a drug house used by a rival gang.
Killed in the hail of gunfire was an airport skycap who had the misfortune of standing outside the house when the shooting started.
Theisen said he cannot figure out why Baldwin, 32, didn't simply take off while riding the bus from Eau Claire to Milwaukee last month. The prosecutor said prison officials drove the former inmate from Stanley to Eau Claire and Baldwin traveled alone and without any kind of monitoring on his trip to Milwaukee, where he then met with his probation agent.
Instead of running, the felon returned to his old haunts.
Noting he's not in the business of advising prison escapees, Theisen said jokingly, "I think he'd have been better off fleeing."
Baldwin is now at the Jackson Correctional Institution, a medium-security prison in Black River Falls, according to state records.
Evans could soon be on his way to Louisiana.
Farr, the Louisiana clerk, said Evans filed a motion in 2006 asking a judge to find that his old Louisiana criminal sentence was illegal.
Evans was trying to avoid being sent south for more prison time once he was released from Stanley. Louisiana officials had issued an order automatically revoking his parole because of his carjacking conviction.
His motion was tossed.
Last summer, Evans asked for copies of his motion and the judge's decision, Farr said. The clerk sent them to the inmate.
Not long after that, Evans turned over to Stanley officials a six-page Louisiana court ruling dated Aug. 21, 2009, purportedly reducing his Louisiana sentence to time already served. The decision effectively canceled the order requiring Evans to do extra prison time once he left Stanley.
Accompanying the ruling were the minutes from the Louisiana court hearing, plus a letter from the clerk notifying Evans of the judge's finding.
Farr said it's all fiction.
The hearing never occurred. The judge never issued the ruling. Those listed as attending the hearing are a patchwork of names from Evans' past, including court officials who are now retired or dead. The cases listed on the docket were manufactured. The signatures were taken from the documents denying his earlier motion.
"He did some cut and slice," Farr said.
This shouldn't come as a complete surprise.
Evans was sent to the Green Bay Correctional Institution in 1976 for - you guessed it - forgery, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. He escaped shortly after and turned up in San Diego months later.
In 1983, Evans escaped again, this time from a Utah facility, where he was doing time for burglary, car theft and, yes, forgery. He was convicted in Louisiana a couple of years later.
What should be surprising, however, is that the fake records worked.
Under state law, Theisen said, an inmate's time on supervised release must equal at least 25% of the time he or she spends behind bars. One of the fake documents in Evans' case trimmed his supervised release to one year, even though that represents less than a quarter of his seven-year prison term.
That should have set off red flags.
But no one noticed.
No one caught it.
"There should be tighter safeguards," Theisen said, "to say the least."

P8579/C Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of P8579in our 2015, and 2016 Porsche Design range.
With no frills and state-of-the-art materials and craftsmanship, these men's glasses stand for stylish design and self-confidence. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The quadratic shape is a good choice, especially for softer facial features. The square glasses give more contour to a round face. The straight outer edges also give the impression that the face is longer. The noble metal frame allows for filigree lines and creates an extraordinary lightness in appearance. In addition, metal eyeglasses are virtually indestructible - strong, flexible and corrosion resistant. Grey lenses are a classic in sunglasses. Their high degree of neutrality with regard to the field of view, makes them particularly suitable for everyday use. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Porsche Design back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Lori: more than a year ago
My son's room was smelling really bad from the diaper pail, and I kept the window open and also tried using lysol disinfectant sprays on and around the diaper pail and nothing was working. I just got these gems in the mail today, and ALREADY they've made a huge difference deodorizing his room! They really work! Because it was so bad, I put one in the diaper pail and one on top of his dresser and wow, I really noticed the difference.

This article was corrected | View correction
A majority of pediatric patients and rare adult patients with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) develop a chronic respiratory disorder referred to as "lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis" (LIP). Efforts to identify an infectious agent responsible for this process so far have failed. In this study, frozen sections of lungs from patients with AIDS and pulmonary disease were tested by in situ molecular hybridization for the presence of cells infected with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type III (HTLV-III) and expressing viral RNA. In the case of an infant with LIP, a relatively high frequency (0.1 %) of cells in the lung were found to be positive for HTLV-III RNA. This number is the lower limit of total cells infected since the in situ hybridization technique as applied in this study depends on expression of HTLV-III genes, and previous evidence indicates that a proportion of cells infected with HTLV-III may not express viral RNA. Moreover, this degree of infection of the lung is likely limited to LIP, since in ten patients with AIDS and pulmonary diseases other than LIP, only 0% to 0.002% of cells in lung were positive for viral RNA expression. Thus, HTLV-III may play a direct causal role in the development of LIP in infected patients, implicating its involvement in yet another of the diverse clinical diseases associated with this virus.

How Religion Changes a Chinese Billionaire Developer
Zhang Xin, the billionaire Chief Executive of Soho China Ltd. 0410 -4.77 % , insists she's not the woman she once was.
Religion has changed everything. At age 45, Ms. Zhang is reinventing herself as a moral and modest Baha'i convert who has transcended materialistic pursuits and now wants to focus on charity and education. "Baha'i has transformed me," she says.
It's hard to square this vision of Ms. Zhang with her public image. Millions in China know her rags-to-riches success story: a textile factory worker at age 14 in Hong Kong, a night school student who made it to Cambridge University in the U.K., an early career with Goldman Sachs and Travelers Group. Together with her husband, Pan Shiyi, she founded Soho China and took it public in 2007, raising more than $1.9 billion.
They are the "It Couple" of China, known for their glitzy parties, designer clothes and celebrity friends.
But when I sat down with Ms. Zhang recently in her chic white-toned office in Beijing's central business district, she tells me, "If you knew me six years ago, you would think, 'This is a very annoying woman.' " She was "very arrogant" then, she says.
"We've put too much confidence in that materialistic abundance will bring along better education, which will in turn facilitate progresses in civilization," she wrote on Sina Weibo, a microblogging service where she has more than 1.4 million followers. "But China's development has smashed our illusion."
She hopes that religion, and Baha'i in particular, can help China to bridge the gap between fast economic growth and spiritual development that lags behind. A new religion with about six million believers globally, Baha'i emphasizes the spiritual unity of all humankind.
It's curious to hear Ms. Zhang, of all people, lament the results of materialism in modern China. After all, she's lived the China Dream more exuberantly than almost any other woman in the country. And for the past 16 years she and her husband have built their fortune selling that dream to the aspiring Chinese middle class. They are known for their futuristic buildings designed by Riken Yamamoto, Peter Davidson and Zaha Hadid.
In China, the property-developer label is synonymous with greed and excessive profits. Just last month, Premier Wen Jiabao pointed his finger at developers when talking about the country's housing problems. He urged developers to "take all their social responsibilities," adding that he believes "the blood flowing in their bodies should be moral too."
I can't help but ask Ms. Zhang why anybody would want to listen to her preaching about being good? Hasn't anybody called her hypocritical?
She's well aware of the image problem. "For many people who don't know me, they will naturally think, 'a developer, corrupted, not a good person,' " she says in her usual fast-talking, enthusiastic way. "I think many people, including me, are biased against many things. And bias comes from ignorance. Just like many Chinese, having never been to Japan, think all Japanese are bad people. Once the knowledge is there, the ignorance will go away, and bias will go away."
Does she find any conflict between ethical behavior and money-making, particularly in China's current business environment when abiding by rules can mean you'll be less likely to succeed?
No, Ms. Zhang says. If you're more honest than the other people, your business will perform better than them because your business partners will trust you more and want to do more business with you, she says. Besides, talented people like working for ethical companies.
To be sure, Ms. Zhang isn't the only businessperson in the country hoping to tackle social problems with religion. How Chinese society has lost its morality —and how to regain it—is a hot topic on both the Internet and around dinner tables.
One of the more dominant theories goes like this: the Communist Party made all Chinese atheists; then the Cultural Revolution destroyed all Confucian doctrines that guided Chinese society for thousands of the years; finally, in their relentless pursuit of wealth in the past 30 years, Chinese broke away from whatever moral boundaries that were left. It's a country that has no reverence, no respect and no fear.
People blame the loss of morality for social ills from pollution to corruption and infidelity. Along with higher living standards have come higher levels of anxiety.
Some have turned to religion for solace. According to a 2010 survey by the Chinese Academy of Social Science, there are more than 20 million Christians in China, and 73% of them were converted after 1993, just about the time the economy went into overdrive.
Ms. Zhang says she converted to Baha'i in 2005 after a family crisis made her question the meaning of the success she had worked so hard for. She found that prayer could be calming.
Mr. Pan converted about the same time. Now they sometimes post their prayers and their interpretations of Baha'i teachings on Sina Weibo, where Mr. Pan has about 3.5 million followers.
Ms. Zhang never lets her musings on religion stray into the area of politics. She claims to be apolitical, and doesn't believe that changing the political system will lead to a better society. She says that the revolution in Egypt didn't really change its society, citing the sexual assault on CBS correspondent Lara Logan immediately after Hosni Mubarak stepped down as president. It doesn't make any difference if it's a democracy or a dictatorship, she says. "The real change comes when people's hearts change. When everybody has a better heart, the whole society will change."
Then will the religious beliefs of China's most famous business couple have as much influence on young people as their previous glamorous lifestyle?
"I hope so," she says. "In our early days, we tried to be a creative developer. And we tried to throw the best parties. Now there are [other] creative developers like us. And we've come to the point in our lives that we believe that Chinese society needs spiritual guidance, and we're privileged to receive such a beautiful thing. We need to share it with everyone."
"But you're a developer, and in China…" I asked again.
Ms. Zhang smiles, "It is indeed very interesting that we're doing this. This is so ironic."

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The Quincy Carter era got off to a rocky start, to say the least.
The Dallas Cowboys' rookie quarterback, who became the starter this week, looked dazed and confused against a New Orleans Saints defense that promised to make things tough on him.
Carter's problems started early. His second pass attempt of the game was picked off by Saints cornerback Michael Hawthorne, who returned it 19 yards to give New Orleans a 7-0 lead in the first quarter of a 16-10 victory.
The Cowboys have now lost 17 of their last 18 preseason games, including nine straight.
"You've got to own up to your mistakes when you make them,'' Carter said. "And I made some tonight.''
Carter, drafted to be the long-term replacement for Troy Aikman, moved up when the Cowboys released veteran Tony Banks.
Carter left the game with 6:45 left in the third quarter and finished 5-of-17 for 27 yards. He was pressured constantly and spent much of his time scrambling or looking for receivers.
Toss in the interception and two fumbled snaps and it easily added up to Carter's worst performance of the preseason.
"Quincy had a tough time early on,'' said Cowboys coach Dave Campo. "But he has the maturity to learn and grow from the experience.''
The Cowboys expected the preseason debuts of running back Emmitt Smith, center Mark Stepnoski and receivers Joey Galloway and Raghib Ismail to help ease Carter's transition into the starting lineup.
They didn't make much of a difference.
Smith gained 15 yards on six carries, including 11 on his first carry of the evening. Galloway and Ismail both failed to make a reception.
All told, Dallas managed only 53 yards of offense in the first half, only 47 yards against the Saints' first-string defense. They had only two first downs and did not convert a single third down.
Carter was replaced by Anthony Wright, who didn't make much of a case to claim a starting spot. Wright, who started two games last season, completed 5 of 10 passes for 62 yards and also was intercepted once.
But while the offense was remarkably inept, the Cowboys' defense finally showed a little spunk.
The Saints' only other points came on 35-yard and 27-yard field goals by John Carney and a 28-yard field goal from Jon Hilbert.
The Cowboys held Saints running back Ricky Williams to 38 yards on 13 carries and sacked quarterback Aaron Brooks four times. They also forced Brooks to fumble, setting up a 37-yard field goal in the second quarter by Tim Seder.
"They made me have to scramble or take the ball down,'' Brooks said. "I've got to give their defense a lot of credit. They played good football.''
Cowboys cornerback Kareem Larrimore intercepted Jeff Blake and returned it 95 yards for a touchdown, cutting the Saints' lead to 13-10 with just over 12 minutes left in the game.
"I just so happened to make a good play,'' Larrimore said. "I almost bobbled it, but I held onto the ball, and I was gone from there.''
The Cowboys never threatened to score in the game's waning moments, sending them to another loss - and into their final week of training camp with more questions than answers about their struggling offense.
"Overall, I think we did some good things and some bad things,'' Campo said. "But there are some other things we have to work on this week.''

Barbara George
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (August 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Barbara George (16 August 1942 – 10 August 2006) was an American R&B singer and songwriter.
Born Barbara Ann Smith in Smithridge, Louisiana, United States,[1] she was raised in New Orleans and began singing in a church choir. She was discovered by singer Jessie Hill, who recommended her to record producer Harold Battiste.[2] Her first record on Battiste's AFO (All For One) record label, "I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)", which she wrote, was issued in late 1961, and both topped the R&B chart and made number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was later recorded by many other artistes, including Freddie King, Paul Revere & the Raiders (1966), the Merseybeats, Ike and Tina Turner, and Bonnie Raitt (1972).
Two subsequent releases, "You Talk About Love" and "Send For Me (If You Need Some Lovin')", both on AFO, reached the Billboard Hot 100 later in 1962, but failed to match the national success of her first hit.
Later recordings met with more limited success, and George largely retired from the music industry by the late 1960s, with a few subsequent attempts at a comeback being unsuccessful. She sang on the Willy DeVille album, Victory Mixture.
George died in August 2006 in Chauvin, Louisiana, aged 63.[1]

"Coming off a big win we had on Sunday I think it gives us a little bit of momentum, especially going into another game with them," Jacobs said. "Knowing a lot about the team, we'll just try to go out there and stick to our gameplan. I think Varny (Derek Varnadore) gave us a good blueprint of how to have success against them on the mound. We played hard on Sunday and that's the biggest thing going into this week.
"We can play with teams like that and win against good teams. Going into it we just have to keep that confidence rolling. I need to go out there and get us off on the right foot and keep a good demeanor and focus in the dugout for the entirety of the game."
Jacobs will have the job of holding down one of the top offensive attacks in all of baseball led by All-American catcher Mike Zunino. Hitting .324 this season, the powerful right-hander has 15 home runs and has 51 RBI. Just behind him is right fielder Preston Tucker. A lefty with power to all fields, the senior is hitting .321 with 14 home runs and 43 RBI on the year.
As a team Florida has 66 home runs on the season, eight in front of second-place Kentucky in the SEC. To show how dominant the Gators have been with the long ball this season, no other team in the league has even 40 home runs this year.
The good news for Jacobs and the Tigers is that the SEC Tournament will be played in spacious Regions Park this week. A tough place to hit the long ball even with the hottest of bats, Jacobs said as a pitcher you have to approach things a little differently playing in Hoover.
"With guys that don't have the power numbers, sometimes you try to split the plate up a little more and let the outfielders go get it," Jacobs said. "Especially in our case we have a lot of guys out there that can really run the ball down. You're going to error more on letting them put the ball in play than trying to pick the corners. You want the ball in play as much as possible there because there is a lot of room to catch the baseball. It's a little different approach, but you still have to make your pitches and let your defense go to work."
Pitching and defense play a bigger role in college baseball than at any time in the last 25 years with the changes in the bats that came last season. That has shown in 2012 as the Tigers have struggled defensively (last in the SEC) and in giving out walks (fourth-most in the league). Jacobs said that will be a focus for Auburn this week in Hoover without question.
"I think you're going to see a walk and back-to-back hits and a team ends up scoring a run and that's it," Jacobs said. "That might be the difference in the game. The biggest thing is to minimize your walks. You want to do that every week, but especially in a park like that because the scoring might be a little lower and maybe one or two runs and a walk here or there could be the difference in the ball game."
Auburn (30-26) will try to take down Florida (40-16) at 4:30 p.m. in game three at the SEC Tournament at Regions Park in Hoover. The game can be seen on CSS and also on Channel 210 on DirectTV.

Even though cities have higher rates of crime and murder, a new study finds that overall, urban areas are safer than the sticks.
However, that counterintuitive conclusion doesn't fit Philadelphia. The City of Brotherly Love turns out to be about as risky as rural areas, largely because of car accidents.
"Philadelphia does tend to be on the worse end" of the safety spectrum for big cities, said lead researcher Sage Myers, an emergency medicine physician at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

WARNING: Today's PS3 Update Will Kill Your Linux
Fond of your classic PS3's ability to load Linux? Then don't accept the update that Sony is pushing on you.
Those of you logging onto the PlayStation Network today with your PS3s will notice a request to update your system firmware to 3.21. If you have no intention of ever running Linux on your console, then feel free to update – but be warned that this new update will remove the "Other OS" capability. Read here for more.
Of course, those who are interested in staying up to date and still be able to partake on PSN may have to wait for a hacked custom firmware solution. We don't know if it's possible yet, but this one hacker is currently working on it.
Don't forget to check out what John Carmack thinks of this latest move by Sony in our feature of Why You Should Care that Linux is ditched.
This thread is closed for comments
krzyinuyashaFor those who read this you can keep linux and still access PSN without updating. If you search around there's tutorials on how to use the old PS3 Proxy bypass to trick the PSN servers into thinking you have the latest update. I'm currently using this seeing how i use linux and play PSN games. I'm not sure how long this bypass will work for but it is an option until a CFW is released. also i have to say i am very disapointed in sony for this i've been a long time follower but now i question my loyalty over this.
Don't give me that bullshit.
I normally don't care about people pirating, but in this case piracy on the PS3 would spell doom for Custom software. GeoHot isn't interested in it, and neither am I. In the horrid outcome that people start PS3 Piracy, Sony will work to destroy all CFW regardless of it purpose and intent.
They may try initially, but if they find there isn't any CFW that allows piracy, they may ease up, maybe even meet the community half way, realizing their reaction was inappropriate.
borisof007Ever wonder why mac owners don't complain about their inability to use other programs? It's because they're used to not having much choice to begin with, for them, it's the status quo. And I'm not saying that in a negative way, it's just the truth.
If you don't want your userbase being angry at you for having less choices, don't give them choices to begin with only to take them away later.
bonznumber1well for the time being i have found a workaround for 3.21 to bypass the need to update I re-posted it on my site here's the link
follow this and you'll be good to go until Sony requires at least 3.21 for there games
pittathPS3 hacker Geohot demos his custom firmware 3.21, includes otherOS support.
