Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- Duluth Bishop Paul Sirba will release names of priests in the Duluth Diocese who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse of a minor.
Bishop Sirba plans to host a press conference on Tuesday to release the list. Attorneys requested earlier this month that the names of 17 priests accused of sexual abuse be released to the public.
This comes after the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis released the names of 34 priests with accusations of sexual abuse.

App That Uses Augmented Reality to Translate Phrases
New app called Word Lens uses the iPhone's camera to view a phrase in another language and translate the phrase right inside the camera, showing the translated text and not the original text (that is the augmented reality part of the app). The app is free but you have to pay for language packs. The only language pack available is English-Spanish and Spanish-English. That language pack costs $4.99. To view the app in action, watch the video below:

A Fear Based Condition
Physiological Trauma is a Psychological or emotional injury caused by a deeply disturbing experience or experiences. In severe cases trauma can cause severe and lasting symptoms that can be life-disabling. The most commonly know trauma is Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) originally associated with the victims of war and first diagnosed post Vietnam. However Trauma can be caused by anything that shocks the senses and not all traumas will result in PTSD: the area is a complex one.
The majority of trauma's are minor. We may be initially traumatised by witnessing a road accident or hearing of the death of a loved one and in most cases the affects will reduce and disappear within a few days but for some they will experience a trauma that is so severe it will effect their day to day quality of life and may feel unmanageable. Abuse; physical, sexual, and spiritual are the areas which we will touch on and can be found in the navigation index.

Day Four performer Sean Kingston's last stop before he left Muskegon Monday was at the Burger King near The Lakes Mall. Kingston was headed to the airport when he decided to take a little detour for some breakfast.
Battle of the bands
Father Time Bomb, a Belmont band, won Monday's Battle of the Bands youth competition, with For the Bridegroom coming in second and Rastyger third.
Seen on the path
Muskegon residents aren't the only ones using the bike path near Heritage Landing. Day Five performer Julianne Hough was spotted dressed in a Hershey's chocolate T-shirt riding "a very nice bike." Next best thing to dancing.
'Special child'
Lucky is the child who gets taken to the carnival. JaMar Gomez, 5, was the center of Maggie Anthony's world when he got off a ride at the Midway, and she handed him his cotton candy. He was his aunt's sole guest at Summer Celebration Monday. He's special to me," she said.

Help desk associates provide customer support, help problem solve, and keep the company's network and computer systems running. Help desk associates typically work indoors in a casual business environment. They make work in call centers, universities, government offices, or manufacturing centers. Regardless of the location, help desk associates that support internal clients primarily work in front of a computer, answering, logging, and troubleshooting calls at their desk. Help desk associates that assist external clients will respond and fix problems on site. This may include using tools to take desktops or printers apart to analyze problems. This work is often mentally intense with occasional physical labor required.Read More...
Help desk associates need strong interpersonal skills and a positive attitude. This is because they work with a diverse array of people. Regardless of who or where the client is, help desk associates need to tactfully and skillfully provide IT customer service to clients who are often frustrated or upset. This requires strong oral and written skills and a professional demeanor.
Help desk associates need a strong education in computer science. That is, they need to be trained in understanding and fixing hardware and software. This includes desktops, printers, OS systems like Windows, and network administration.

An associate's or bachelor's degree in computer science is a fundamental prerequisite. In addition to this, popular industry standard certifications include Microsoft Certified Professional, Cisco Career Certification, and the Apple certification program.

Apple's next-gen iPod nano may see return of narrow form factorApple's "fatboy" iPod nano may be retired after only a year on the market to make way for a new generation of the player that will mark a return of the narrow form factor used in the first two generations of the device.
Citing "extremely confident" sources, iLounge reports the new player will retain its traditional click-wheel while sporting an elongated display with the same 1.5:1 widescreen aspect ratio as the iPhone and iPod touch, versus the 1.33:1 ratio of the prior iPod nano and iPod classic.
This will leave the player looking like, among all other things, one of Microsoft's existing Flash-based Zune players, those sources say. Apple is said to have made the move in order to preserve all of the fatboy nano's usability, while adding longer display that will allow users to rotate the device into landscape mode for viewing videos.
While iLounge is not a traditional source of insider information, it does have close ties to iPod and iPhone casing manufacturers who are sometimes privy to the dimensions of Apple's next-generation handheld devices ahead of their release.
By releasing those dimensions early, Apple affords those manufacturers ample time to develop and bring to market casings and protective holders around the same time that it introduces its remodeled handheld products.
An artist's rendition of what may be Apple's next-gen iPod nano design. | Source : iLounge.
As such, iLounge is largely credited as being one of the few publications to accurately describe the form factor of Apple's iPhone 3G handset before its public unveiling.
In its report late Tuesday, the publication also cited sources who indicated that recent rumors of next-generation iPod nanos adopting multi-colored enclosures are "most likely inaccurate."
Instead, each fourth-generation iPod nano is will more likely sport a single-colored anodized aluminum frame akin to the second-generation of the players introduced in the fall of 2006.

Fall 2009 - Life as a second-year
My second year of business school is now well underway. So far, I would say I probably have never been this busy in my entire life but in a completely satisfying and "great" kind of busy. In undergrad I was balancing my major with being a student-athlete and that was busy... then during core I was getting used to the new genre of classes I was taking with my extracurricular projects, but now I really think I am the busiest I have ever been. Let me begin...
I am currently taking a class in business law that is fascinating. It is taught by John Akula, a professor who is not only brilliant and experienced, but entertaining and personable. I'm also taking a Data Modeling class and a marketing class. However, the highlight of my semester so far has been my G-Lab Africa class. G-lab (Global Entrepreneurship Lab) Africa is, this year, focusing on Global Health Delivery. Specifically, my team and I will be working with a company in Africa for the rest of the fall semester and then we will go on-site in Johannesburg, South Africa in January for a 3-4 week internship. The issue of global health delivery means a lot to me and I cannot wait to contribute my team's business skills to enhancing the way of life in Africa. Look out for more posts as we get closer to January. I fully intend to document the trip both in written form and on video!
As another travel and work opportunity, I am thinking about doing China Lab in the spring semester. China Lab allows a group of students at MIT Sloan to work with a company in China for the first half of the spring semester and then do a 2 week on-site internship during SIP and Spring Break. This is an incredible opportunity to work with growing companies in China.
I am continuing to work for Titleist, one of my summer internship companies. I feel especially lucky to be working in an area that I have so much passion for. The sports and retail industries have a lot of interesting facets to them and I have certainly been able to experience them in my internships. I am also working with the EMS (Entertainment, Media, and Sports) Club this fall as VP of Special Projects. (www.sloanems.org/meet-the-team.html) I am overseeing the SportsLab program that is now in it's second year. This year, we were able to secure projects with a hospitality development company, Converse, and the Boston Bruins. The SportsLabs offer a rare opportunity to work with companies inside this industry prior to recruiting season. I also helped run the MIT Sloan Golf Tournament this past Saturday at Stow Acres CC in Stow, MA. Though it rained all the way up to the tournament and then towards the end, we were lucky enough to get it in. It was a tremendously good time and offered a chance for students to get out, enjoy a day on the golf course, and have some fun with their fellow classmates.
Planning for the 2010 MIT Sloan Sports Analytics is fully underway. As students, we are lucky enough to work with Jessica Gelman of the New England Patriots and Daryl Morey of the Houston Rockets. This conference has taken off since it's inception 3 years ago. I was a panel-lead for the conference last year securing panelists for the Careers in Sports and Talent Identification Panels. This year, I will be working to help the team pull off the best conference yet. Stay tuned, as we get closer. The conference will be held on March 6, 2010 and promises to amazing. (www.sloansportsconference.com/2010)
Speaking of sports, the Red Sox are in the playoffs and I know it is that time of year again. GO SOX!!! Seriously, how many Red Sox - Angels contests can we have in the ALDS???
I have been continuing with my half-marathon and marathon training. I will be running my half-marathon on November 15 in Newton, MA. I really cannot wait. I have been working so hard at training smart and eating well, I cannot wait to see the results. I am shooting for a time well under two hours. In the spring, I am going to run the Boston Marathon... this is something I have always wanted to do and decided to just do it this year. Right now my long-runs are around 10 miles for the half-marathon. I will probably run in December, take it light while I am in Africa in January, and then train all out for the almost 3 months leading up to the Boston Marathon. I know it won't be easy balancing training with all of the other stuff that I am doing but the challenge is well worth it.
My pilot core team is doing great. They will be having their first set of midterms in the coming week. I have done my best at giving them the advice that I wish I had known a year ago. Speaking of which... how has it already been a year? It is crazy how fast time flies in business school. I attribute it to how much fun I am having working on projects and classes that really mean something to me. It really is exciting. :)
Finally, I will be working with the Ambassador's Program throughout the fall semester so if you come for a campus visit, you might run into me. Until then, have a great fall and enjoy the leaves!!!

MOF to invest NT$200 billion in infrastructure development
By Kathryn Chiu, The China Post
February 27, 2014, 12:03 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Ministry of Finance (MOF) announced recently that an NT$200 billion package of infrastructure development plans, spanning 48 build-operate-transfer, urban renewal and public land projects, according to local media reports.
The ministry said the projects are open to private investment, which will be reviewed at the package's official launch during an investment promotion conference in Taipei on March 20.
An MOF official revealed that there were 103 cases of private participation amounting to NT$77.5 billion in public projects last year. The MOF expects this investment to add NT$28.7 billion to the government's revenues and generate 17,000 jobs.
The MOF said it plans to capitalize on growing private investment momentum in Taiwan by holding a second investment promotion event later this year.
According to a MOF dispatch, the 48 public works are situated around the country in locations such as Kaohsiung, Kinmen, New Taipei, Taichung, Tainan and Taipei. They include large-scale developments each with an estimated value of up to NT$29 billion.
One of the leading undertakings involves an NT$28.6 billion urban renewal project in Taipei's Nangang District. The prime location of the site is expected to attract broad interest from developers at home and abroad.

In an effort to light up dark alleys in Carlisle, the Carlisle Neighborhood Alliance is offering discounts to residents in the Elm Street target area who want to install a security light behind their properties.
The program offers dusk-to-dawn lights to residents who will put them up along alleys, said Eddy Kaplaniak, Elm Street manager.
The light fixture costs about $125, and hookup is about the same. The charge to residents is based on income and could range from 50 percent to free.
"We hope to have them all allocated by the end of June," he said.
While there are some security lights along alleys, many are motion sensor-activated and broken.
"There are dark spots," he said. "We're more aggressively targeting around parks and walkways where we see people use them as walkways, like the Locust Street corridor.

7/28 Cubs 2, Giants 1
Travis Wood picked up another quality start and a quality at-bat. Wood notched his 18th quality start and belted his third home run to lift the Cubs to a 2-1 victory Sunday over the Giants and complete a sweep of the defending World Series champs. Welington Castillo smacked a tiebreaking home run with two outs in the seventh, his third of the year, to give Chicago its first series sweep in San Francisco since Sept. 13-15, 1993.
The Cubs concluded a 10-game West Coast swing through Denver, Phoenix and San Francisco 6-4, and picked up their 26th road win, three more than their total last season. Last year, the Cubs went 1-18 on the road against the NL West.
"I can't remember ever as a player or anything having this kind of trip on the West Coast," Dale Sveum said. "To win six out of 10 on the West Coast, no matter how good a team you are, it's one of the harder things to do in baseball."
They did it without Matt Garza and Alfonso Soriano, both traded during the trip. On Sunday, Soriano had four hits, including a two-run homer and walk-off RBI single for the Yankees, which prompted loud cheers in the Cubs clubhouse. The high socks on Starlin Castro, Junior Lake and Luis Valbuena on Sunday? That's Soriano style.
"We said we wanted to do it for Sori," Castillo said of the socks switch.
Wood was in the trainer's room and heard all the ruckus. The lefty was on the Cubs last year when they also overhauled the roster, dealing Ryan Dempster, Geovany Soto and others. This time, it's different.
"It's always a little different, especially when you lose a guy like Soriano," Wood said. "He was one of our hottest bats, probably the hottest bat at the time. He's the leader on the team and he's been here the longest. It was sad to see him go, but I think he had a pretty solid day today. We just have to pull together and string some wins."
The pitchers ruled. Wood singled to lead off the third and then homered off Tim Lincecum with two outs in the fifth, his third of the year, and the most by a Cubs pitcher since Carlos Zambrano hit four in 2009. It's the first time Lincecum has ever served up a home run to a pitcher.
"I'm always surprised," Wood said of his power. "I'm not up there trying to hit homers. I'm just trying to put good swings on it. I was able to get two hits today and fortunately one of them went over the fence. Unfortunately, I gave it up the next inning."
Lincecum got a little payback with two hits off Wood, both singles.
The Giants loaded the bases with nobody out in the fifth, and Buster Posey hit into a bizarre double play, forcing the runners at third and at home. But Pablo Sandoval delivered an RBI double to tie the game. Castillo's home run was all Wood needed, and ticked Lincecum off.
All three games were decided by one run. Winning those close games in front of sellout crowds can only help, Sveum said.
"A lot of these young guys have to get a feeling for that in the big leagues, and the feeling of the last three games here, how close every out was and how every pitch here meant everything, and the situations [Saturday night]," Sveum said. "These guys, some of them anyway, that multiplies by 10 when you're in a pennant race, those kind of games. It's always a learning process."

Well done gentlemen! Go back to Chicago proudly! Bet you will be happy to be back at Wrigley! Keep up your winning ways.
Interesting game, Cubs win, thats always a bonus. Well pitched by Wood, Home Runs by Wood and Castillo. Good thing Castillo hit one or Wood would have more than Castillo.
Cubs are not hitting, nor were the Giants, but Rusin, Jackson and Wood really held them.
Wood getting two hits has proved he might be the best RH hitter off the bench. Just something for Sveum to think about.

Syracuse, NY - Two Syracuse men are facing a felony after police executing a search warrant Thursday at their East Borden Avenue home found more than an ounce of crack cocaine, Syracuse police said.
Michael Nixon, 36, and Maurice Davis, 35, both of the second floor apartment at 117 E. Borden Ave., were arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance; misdemeanor criminal use of drug paraphernalia; and unlawful possession of marijuana, a violation. Both men were arrested about 5:15 p.m.
Police found 29.2 grams of crack cocaine, enough for more than 290 individual doses, police said. Also found were a digital scale with cocaine residue on it, 7 grams of marijuana and about $330 in cash, police said.

Sometimes it seems our sidewalks are adorned with more teddy bears than beads, more deflated foil balloons than doubloons, more R.I.P. and "Gone Too Soon" signs than instructions on where to toss a Carnival trinket. Those stuffed animals, balloons and poster boards are our attempts to memorialize one dead child or another. Drive through the metropolitan area often enough and you're sure to encounter the soggy or sun-faded remains of a tribute to a murdered child. If you haven't yet seen one, keep driving. You'll come across an old one. Or see one in the future.
Ahlittia North's mountain of teddy bears was yet growing Wednesday. The 6-year-old was discovered missing from her home in Harvey's Woodmere subdivision Saturday morning. Her body was found in a nearby trash bin Tuesday before dawn. So by the time a walking prayer vigil was held on Harvey's Destrehan Avenue Wednesday, heartbroken neighbors had already left many signs, stuffed animals and reflective balloons. The girl was a promising dancer, and one of the signs in front of her house included a photograph of Ahlittia in a shimmering emerald dance costume. "She's Dancing In Heaven Now," the sign read.
One Woodmere resident said Wednesday that her young daughter had heard about Ahlittia's murder and that she wanted to come to the memorial and leave a teddy bear. That child, who looked to be about Ahlittia's age, told a reporter on the scene, "I feel bad for the little girl." She expressed her sorrow without the head-shaking dismay that adults outside the residence displayed when talking about Ahlittia's death. Dismay isn't included in a young child's emotional repertoire.
They might not understand what has happened, but they're not going to express disbelief, not going to shout, scream and holler that this ought not happen. That's left to us adults. We express our disbelief - even as all the other memorials to slain children call our disbelief into question.
Last year 5-year-old Briana Allen was killed while celebrating at her cousin Ka'Nard's 10th birthday party in Central City. Teddy bears and balloons were left on the steps outside the little girl's home.
Ka'Nard was hit by a bullet at his own birthday party. He was wounded at this year's Mother's Day second-line parade organized by the Original Big 7 Social Aid and Pleasure Club. Two men have been charged with opening fire on the crowd.
In December 2011, teddy bears were left on a lawn of the B.W. Cooper Housing Complex after Keira Holmes was killed in a drive-by shooting shortly before her second birthday. The little girl's nickname was "Pooh Bear."
Following the September 2010 drive-by murder of 2-year-old Jeremy Galmon, somebody erected a cross at First and Dryades Streets. They decorated the cross with children's palm prints and quoted Isaiah: "and a little child shall lead them."
Briana, Keira and Jeremy were collateral damage. The people who killed them were trying to hit somebody else. Ahlittia was targeted. She wasn't killed with a gun but with a knife. She was reportedly killed not by a stranger, but by her stepfather's nephew. Matthew Flugence, 20, was booked Wednesday with first-degree murder in the little girl's death. Jefferson Parish Coroner Gerry Cvitanovich said her neck was slashed down to the bone, calling the two cuts "very aggressive stab wounds."
The disappointing end to the search for 6-year-old Ahlittia was reminiscent of the heart-sinking news in 1999 that the body of 6-year-old Kevin Wooden had been found in tall weeds near a warehouse at Burthe and Joliet Streets in New Orleans. He had been severely beaten, Orleans Parish Coroner Frank Minyard said, before his liver finally ruptured. The imprint of an adult-sized fist was found in the back of the 30-pound child.
Kevin had disappeared four days earlier from outside his Zimple Street home. He has a street sign on Carrollton Avenue dedicated to him, but you can live in that neighborhood for years and not even notice it.
Before Kevin's funeral was held, The Times-Picayune reported, enough toys were left at the scene of his murder to fill five giant bags that were given to his family. One sign described Kevin as the "angel of Riverbend."
"We sit around sleeping this," New Orleans-born poet Gabrilla Ballard wrote after Kevin's death, "Numbing ourselves to such incidents / Hoping that if we stop thinking about Kevin .... / that the same thing won't happen to our children / That our babies won't be found in an abandoned building."
Even those people who keep their eyes forced open don't have a response that's adequate. They pile up stuffed animals on the sidewalk.
And we mourn that child's death. Sometimes our mourning even lasts until the next child is killed.

Baton Rouge -- Jurors could not be barred from taking notes during criminal trials under a bill approved by the Louisiana House Criminal Justice Committee on Tuesday. Senate Bill 5, by Sen. Edwin Murray, D-New Orleans, was inspired by constituent Denise Thornton, who contact him after serving as a juror on a case in which having such notes would have made it easier to reach a verdict. "If I am being asked to render a judgment affecting the lifelong freedom of a fellow human being, I want to do everything humanly possible to make sure the decision is based on accurate information, and I am confident in that decision," Thornton told the committee.
The bill, which has already been approved by the Senate, also allows jurors to receive a copy of the charges in the case, something Thornton said would have helped during the case on which she was a juror.
The notes taken by jurors would be destroyed immediately after the jury reaches a verdict so they could not be used on appeal.
State law now allows jurors in criminal trials to take notes only if both the prosecution and defense agree. Federal courts and state civil trials also allow note-taking for juries.
The bill was approved by the committee 9-4, but not without stiff opposition from prosecutors, who said jurors could rely on inaccurate notes or be so focused on writing they could miss subtle but important cues that could determine whether they could trust the testimony they were receiving.
"Instead of jurors writing down things and paying attention to their pencils and their pads, they should be paying attention to the witness and his body language and his temperament and demeanor because how he says it is just as important as what he says," said Scott Perrilloux, district attorney for the 21st Judicial District.
But Rep. Roy Burrell, D-Shreveport, said the measure is important to reaching an accurate result.
"I think the best way to build something is to have something you can go back to that is pretty much exact and build upon it," Burrell said. "If your memory is like mine, that's a very hard task to do. You need some aid to keep the facts straight and come up with an end result that is fair to someone's liberty."

Martín Rico y Ortega, "The Ladies' Tower in the Alhambra of Granada," 1871, oil on canvas, 25 x 15 3/4 in. Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Bequest of Ramón de Errazu
Impressions of Europe: 19th-century Vistas by Martín Rico is the first ever comprehensive exhibition afforded to one of the key figures in landscape and plein air painting of the 19th century. After its debut at the Museo del Prado in Madrid, the exhibition has arrived at the Meadows Museum of Art on the campus of Southern Methodist University, where it will be on view through July 7.
Impressions of Europe features 106 works of art, including paintings, drawings, and sketchbooks. Rico's subjects range from the urban landscapes of Paris and Venice to rural scenes from his native Spain. Yet it was not only grand vistas that provoked Rico's artistic imagination: his sketchbooks reveal an interest in the women, men, and animals populating Europe's great cities and quiet villages.
Martín Rico y Ortega, "View of Paris from the Trocadero," 1883, oil on canvas, 31 x 63 in. Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Gift of Marquesa de Manzanedo
Mark A. Roglán, director of the Meadows, gave this statement: "Rico was hugely influential in the rise of new approaches to landscape painting, but until now there has been no comprehensive exhibition that brings together pieces from every phase of his career. By showing the full breadth of his work and developing a catalogue with new scholarship on Rico we are shedding new light on the rise of Realist landscape as a pivotal 19th-century movement. Equally important, we are bringing Rico's work to new audiences internationally."
Martín Rico y Ortega (1833-1908) was among the most prominent Spanish painters in the second half of the 19th century. He traveled across Europe, copying the works of the greatest landscape artists, and he truly established himself in Venice, where he spent the last three decades of his life. Rico's style is uniquely his own, blending naturalism and impressionism and demonstrating equal skill in developing smart compositions and capturing momentary lighting effects. Rico is famed for painting in gondolas stationed in Venice's many canals and holds an especially important place in the history of plein air painting.
Martín Rico y Ortega, "On the Seine," 1869, oil on canvas, 15 1/4 x 25 1/2 in. New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Bequest of Maria DeWitt Jesup
Impressions of Europe is the fourth exhibition realized from the partnership of the Meadows and the Prado (other partnered exhibitions have focused on the works of El Greco, Ribera, and Velázquez). The show was curated by Javier Barón, chief curator of 19th-century paintings at the Prado. For more information, visit smu.edu/meadowsmuseum.

The Fly-Z XL Driver is engineered to help make golf easier through higher draw-biased ball flights which deliver easy distance. A 460cc, all-titanium head features a slightly lower profile face combined with an offset hosel to deliver the trajectory often needed by seniors, women and beginning golfers. The Fly-Z XL Driver, being the only offset driver in the marketplace, delivers up to 17.5 yards of draw bias. Note: Robot testing revealed that even vs. Fly-Z in its draw position, the XL Driver offers 10.5 additional yards of draw bias, making this the perfect driver for slice correction or easy up.
Speed Channel Face with Forged E9 Face Weighting, Crown Zone technology along with an all-titanium head, saves weight and helps deliver a back CG position that yields great forgiveness and draw bias. A high MOI sole geometry combined with an offset design makes the Fly-Z XL easier to hit straight by correcting slices, increasing stability and maintaining distance.
GRIP: Fly-Z XL features a graphite Matrix shaft with a Lamkin REL 360 Grip.
Speed Channel is an engineered trench that surrounds the club face to help minimize face thickness and provide increased ball speeds across the face for incredible distance with forgiveness.
Offset Design helps the golfer square the club face more easily at impact. Now you can forget about that slice once and for all, and enjoy higher, straighter, more draw-biased drives.
Zone Weighting removes weight from the crown to reposition it low and back in the head for a low, deep Center of Gravity. The result? Extreme forgiveness on off center hits and excellent distance no matter where you hit the ball on the face.

Many of the extraction techniques developed over the past generation tout selectivity among their advantages. In reality, solvent selection and the use of stationary (sorbent) phases are the main mechanisms for providing selectivity. Therefore, selectivity is often limited to isolation of classes of compounds rather than individual structures. In this column instalment, the selective removal of a fat substitute in food products is discussed to demonstrate options for obtaining selectivity during extraction.
Over the past generation or so, myriad extraction techniques were developed that have generally improved yields, lessened the amount of organic solvent used, and minimized time. Additionally, many of these techniques claim advantages concerning selectivity.
Selectivity is the ability to determine the analytes of interest in preference to other sample components (potential interferents). A recent instalment of this column (1) advocated that selectivity can stem from any point in the analytical process, but as a general rule selectivity arises from separations, selective detection schemes, and selective chemical reactions. These approaches can balance each other. For example, if an analytical separation is not completely sufficient, the use of a selective detection method like mass spectrometry (MS) or fluorescence spectroscopy can offer the balance of the required selectivity provided that the unseparated components do not suppress the detector signal.
Turning our attention back to modern extraction methods, the fundamental driving force of the technique leads to the element of selectivity. A number of sorbent-based methods, such as SPE, solid-phase microextraction, and stir-bar sorbent extraction, use chromatographic stationary phases to isolate solutes of interest from gaseous or liquid samples. Analytes are retained by their attraction to a stationary phase of similar polarity and are selectively eluted via choice of an appropriate solvent. The techniques aimed at solid samples, including supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), pressurized fluid extraction, microwave extraction, and ultrasound extraction, rely on the application of energy (often heat) to drive the analyte into an appropriate solvent. In all of these techniques, both sorbent- and solvent-based, the key to selectivity is the match between analyte polarity and polarity of the extracting phase. In other words, "like dissolves like". Thus, extractions are usually considered crude separation techniques, providing compound class selectivity and less utility for the selective isolation of specific, individual compounds. Of course, volatility is the major contributor to selectivity for gas-phase techniques.
If the primary selectivity mechanism in extractions is solute polarity (that is, matching solute polarity with the solvent or sorbent following the "like dissolves like" principle), is selectivity possible during chemical extraction? Is selectivity beyond compound class selectivity possible? Do extractions need to be selective or is selectivity solely a function of subsequent chromatography and detection?
To look at an example of extraction selectivity within the "like dissolves like" polarity context, let's consider the example of fat analysis in food products and, more specifically, the example of sucrose ester fat substitutes.

BROOM Herbert, of probably Newport, WALES, possibly born in Wiltshire England, probable son of Worthy and Margaret BROOM.
The funeral took place on Thursday of Mr Herbert BROOM, whose death occurred on Sunday evening after a brief illness. A large number of relatives were present, also employees of Messrs White & Co.s Pontymister, steel foundry, of which deceased was an employee.
A short service was held at the house, previously the funeral leaving for Cefn Chapel, at which another service took place, both being conducted by the Rev S Jones, Moriah Chapel, Risca.
The service at the grave side was taken by the Rev. F.H.Southall, Newport, who, in the course of his remarks, sympathetically referred to the widow & child of the deceased, also the aged parents of both deceased & his widow.
The deceased was held in deepest respect throughout the district, where he was well known, & signs of mourning were in evidence along the route from Risca to Bethseda Chapel. The coffin, of polished elm, was laden with wreaths, including one from deceaseds fellow workmen, his
sorrowing father & mother, his brothers & sisters, Mr & Mrs Johnson & family, father & mother in law, & many others.
The undated newspaper clipping this is copied from was in possession of Grace Millicent STEWART (nee BROOM), grandneice, who was born & died in NZ>

shiralee has been a Family Tree Circles member since Nov 2012.
Hi Shiralee, he is listed in the census' i have added tp your previous post
Herbert Broom 1878-1910 son of Worthy Broom 1840-1911 and Margaret, nee Jones married Margaret Henderson in 1903
Both SilverVixen and janilye,
I am so very grateful to be able to understand this relationship. My late mother-in-law had been without her parents for a long time, & when she gave me this obituary, with 2 others (Worthy & Margaret BROOM), she did not have the connections. Her grandfather (David BROOM) died after only a few years in NZ, & direct family information has been long lost. Thank you for your wonderful input via Family Circles. I am happy to supply photos & any history of NZ descendants of David BROOM, is asked.
for anyone interested in the locations (as I was)
Pontymister is a small village in Caerphilly county borough in Wales.
from The development of Pontymister ... The Pontymister ironworks began in 1801. First it was connected by a tramroad to the canal, but when the tramroad from Newport to Sirhowy was opened in 1805, the ironworks tramroad was connected with the Sirhowy tramroad
Thank you for this ngairedith - I do hope descendants of Herbert get to read this.
According to Herbert's gravestone in Bethesda Chapel, Rogerstone, his wife was Emily Broom. Having searched FreeBMD's database he did marry a Henderson and also an Emily, in September 1903. I've searched for an Emily Henderson and Margaret Henderson, but it doesn't find a match. Perhaps she was Margaret Emily. Janilye, do you have atranscript of the marriage?
Silvervixen, than you very much for this. I am very glad I posted the obituaries I had, as I have been able to be in touch with a direct relative of my husband. Mike Watkins has a site to which I am now affiliated.
I just hope a direct descendant of Herbert is glad to get his obituary.
Keep going with your good work. ;-) !

It's hard to put too much stock in a team or individual player's performance through just one month of the season, but that doesn't mean that performance should be ignored.
Star players getting off to a slow start is nothing new, but there is no faster way to get a fanbase riled up than by stumbling out of the gates.
So here is a look at every MLB team's star hitter that needs to step up ASAP as they look to get on track before the season gets too far along.

SALISBURY, N.C. — The first former Bloom store in the Charlotte, N.C. area reopened Wednesday under the Food Lion banner, and eight additional stores are scheduled to reopen next week, according to a report in the Charlotte Observer. Earlier this month, six former Bloom stores in South Carolina reopened as Food Lions. Food Lion, a division of Delhaize, said earlier this year it would shut down the Bloom banner in the Carolinas.

Pros: Nice mids, very easy to drive, very good build
Cons: lack of realistic sound
I had it for a week then sent back, i didn't like the slow and unrealistic presentation.
Rolled off treble made it sound like a tetris with electronic music. It was an acceptable performance
for most of genres, exceptionally good with instrumental music. Very comfortable and it has never been harsh.

I cannot sleep with any light coming into the room. This blackout curtain does exactly that. I did not notice any smell and I have a super sensitive nose. They are absolutely perfect for this very picky person.
These are a good fabric for liners. They drape nicely. Others that I saw were more like plastic. These liners had options for hanging with different drapery style, That makes them more versatile.
I love the liners. Looked for some time for something like this. Not hard to hang and provides a lot of protection from the cold. Made a big difference in my living room.
Panels keep the heat out extremely well. Improved the temperature inside immensely.
Works fantastically, needed room darkening and the are perfect!
Exceeded my expectations. Very good quality and worked perfectly in our bedrooms
It definately blocks out the light, except that light does come through on the top and bottom of the curtain, so it could be a little longer. But it does its job overall and the early morning light no longer wakes me up. I would definately buy this product again
I have a glass slider on the west side of the house that gets afternoon sun. It gets very warm in the living room where the slider is. The panel was placed behind the drapes already there and it made an amazing difference with the temperature of the living room. It darkens the room very well. It will also help keep the room warmer in the winter. Excellent product. Easy to hang.
They work great
We live near a major highway and the road noise is bothersome. This curtain makes the room MUCH quieter. We're sleeping much better, thank you. (Previously tried another brand that was ineffective.) The black out feature is great, too. Hung with tab-top curtains. Sags a bit between the rings, but the curtain rod is high enough above the window that it's not a problem. Fit our 52" wide curtain panels.
I have been looking for a product like this for MONTHS.....and I have finally found it! It works amazing...no light coming in! Lots of other websites didn't explain their product very well, so the product I got didn't seem like the product I ordered. On this Touch Of Class website, the picture explain very well exactly what you're getting!
Does the trick, just make sure you hang your curtain rod above the window since the liner drops down a few inches from the rod when using the gommet rings.
these were more than I wanted to spend for curtain liners, but they work very well. They are soft enough to gather well when you open your curtains and do a great job at blocking light. I'm buying another pair for the guest room and eventually to replace the useless "black out" curtains I have in my sons room.
They are much nicer than the black out curtains I bought previously and they work better also. I like that they can be hidden behind my current white curtains and they don't feel like plastic, so the curtains still hang nicely
They do darken a room to some extent. Since they are only made in 45" width ( pretty sure that was done on purpose as most drapes are 52" wide ) you have to but two panels to cover one 52"wide window. Too much light comes in between the two panels. Will be returning them tomorrow.
After purchasing and returning several "room darkening" curtains... I was skeptical of these. However, they turned out to be exactly what I was looking for! I have white curtains, and wanted something that would filter all of the light out without looking too dark (ugly) behind an almost white curtain. These are perfect! They are easy to hang, and provide hotel quality darkness. I would recommend these to anyone looking to actually "darken" a room.
These liners were exactly what I was looking for. I am very pleased.

DH and I are still getting in the "groove" of being a married couple. We've run into a few things where I wondered how other people do it...
-Do you each have your own space in your home? (Does he have a man cave, do you have a place that is YOURS, etc.) Do you run into any issues (trying to share space if you don't have individual spaces, or keeping out of one another's spaces if you do)?
-Are your finances joint or separate? Do you each have your own "spending money" but the bills come from the same place, or is everything combined? Who is in charge of monitoring your finances?
-Do you each have your own group of friends, or are they all "OUR friends"? Do you take the time to hang out with your friends without your SO? How do you feel about it? (Do you ask each other for permission, do you feel guilty about it, is it no big deal, whatever.)
-Do you have YOUR stuff and he has HIS stuff? Is some stuff OUR stuff---or is everything OURS? Does it make a difference if you purchased/got it before you merged households?
I guess I'm just looking for some insight into how other couples balance between being a couple and being two individuals!

Hills, particularly large buildings, sometimes above ground power/telephone/cable distribution (more an issue on 160 than 10, certainly). The closer the building, the smaller it can be and obstruct or attenuate signals. Someone I knew was complaining about his vertical's low angle performance. I went by his residence, and noted that the NE direction was UP the street (literally), something like ten houses before things leveled out. It was a really nice neighborhood, and doesn't deserve the word clutter, but for radio purposes NE it was. When I lived in Albuquerque, the Sandia Mountains (10K+) were east of me, and the lowest bit of sky east was up 25 degrees. Extremely scenic, but qualifies as radio clutter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris BONDE" <email@example.com> To: "Guy Olinger, K2AV" <email@example.com> Cc: <firstname.lastname@example.com> Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2002 6:53 PM Subject: Re: [Towertalk] 160m Inverted L > At 03:37 PM 2002-08-11 -0400, Guy Olinger, K2AV wrote: > > >This also puts the current maxima at the ground which improves low > >angle performance, assuming a good radial field and no low angle > >clutter which would block the low angles anyway. > No low angle clutter, I assume that this is referring to objects on the > ground or near to the ground sothat it is in the path of the outmoving > wave.

Is that true?
On the same token, I have heard that using bullets tipped with mercury will explode on impact, causing worse wounds.
Is that true?
While were at it, lets talk about silver bullets, great for werewolfs, but did/does anyone do that? Is silver a good jacket to use, like copper? Would a soild silver bullet be more harder that a lead one?

The increased density of the mercury is not what causes the greater wound damage, rather it's the property of a dense metal fluid blasting through soft tissue. The mercury would turn into several small metal balls, each dissipating energy along it's own wound channel, maximizing energy transfer to the target... I remember reading somewhere that mercury filled rounds were the original "dum dum" rounds.

Originally Posted By Bretshooter:
You said earlier that the amalgam was made when the Hg contacted powdered lead. Being a powder, it would allow the mercury to contact all of the lead present. But with just the surface of the bullet cavity exposed to the Hg, might it not just amalgamate with the lead it can contact directly, creating an amalgam cup? Would it necessarily be able to dissolve any additional lead from the bullet thru that amalgamated layer?

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- For the 22nd straight year, the Indians have avoided arbitration during the off-season. Thursday, they announced the signing of infielder Mike Aviles to a two-year, $6 million contract. GM Chris Antonetti said the deal gives Aviles security and the Indians some cost certainty in preparing their budget.
It will also give them a shortstop in case Asdrubal Cabrera is traded before his contract expires after the 2014 season. Cabrera, who will make $16.5 million over the next two years, was the subject of many trade rumors this winter.
When asked about the possibility of Cabrera being traded, Antonetti warned not to read too much into the transaction.
"Mike Aviles complements our team," said Antonetti. "He's very valuable and very versatile player."
Aviles will make $3 million each in 2013 and 2014. He was a club option for 2015 worth $3.5 million. In January, Aviles filed for arbitration. He was seeking $3.4 million and the Indians offered $2.4 million. He settled for just over the midpoint of the two offers with an additional year thrown in.
The seven Indians who filed for arbitration earned $24.75 million in salary for 2013. The Indians have not had a player go to arbitration since Greg Swindell and Jerry Browne in 1991. Aviles' hearing was scheduled for next week.
The Indians acquired Aviles and catcher Yan Gomes from Toronto in November for right-hander Esmil Rogers. Last year Aviles was the primary shortstop for Boston, batting .250 with 28 doubles, 13 homers and 60 RBI in 136 games. He had career highs in doubles, homers, RBI and tied career bests in extra-base hits (41) and steals (14).
Aviles should be a busy man this season. Depending on how the bench is built, he could be the top utility infielder or see significant time at DH. Antonetti and manager Terry Francona feel comfortable with Aviles playing short, second and third base. Francona has even talked about him getting time in right and left fields.
If another utility infielder makes the club, Aviles could see a lot of time at DH. It seems the Indians plan on rotating players through the DH this year.
"I'm blessed and cursed with versatility," Aviles told reporters last month. "As long as I get a chance to play, I know I can help the team a little bit."
Said Antonetti, "How we use the DH will reflect how the bench comes together."
Another arm: The Indians have signed left-hander Rich Hill to a minor-league deal with an invitation to big-league camp. Hill, who turns 33 on March 11, is 23-20 with a 4.60 ERA in 118 games (70 starts) with the Cubs, Orioles and Red Sox.
In his career, he has held lefties to a .209 average and an 0.65 OPS. He was with the Red Sox for parts of the previous three seasons. Antonetti said Hill will get a shot in the bullpen. He was bothered by elbow problems last season and made just 25 appearances.

Richard Dawkins joins calls for apology for gay mathematician Alan Turing
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Good luck getting this poor execuse of a government to apologise for anything!
They always think they do what's "right", and tell you repeatedly too.
Blair didn't even apologise for slavery. The most Turing will get will be a statement of "regret" and some spin about "advances" made for gays since his imprisonment and suicide.
Should we not be asking for an apology for all those affected by the pre 1967 laws? Some of them must still be alive after all. Why just Mr Turing, he certainly suffered greatly but so many others did too.
It's time all those charged under our regressive past laws receive the pardon they deserve.
Jae makes a very sensible point.
And by the way – why has Richard Dawkins never been considered so far for a Stonewall award? Through his writings on Science he contributes immensely to greater understanding of morality; his books are sharp lessons in how to think, too: he shows the importance of building beliefs on evidence and reason, adn equally, what we mean by 'evidence'. He provides a wealth of intellectual ammunition with which to shoot down the anti-gay case. (I can almost feel an opinion piece coming on….)
I've signed. As I have previously said on this site, the guy deserves a postumous Knighthood!
Go for it, Adrian. It's just a question of writing it down…
Well done, Prof. Hawkins, its good to see someone with balls speaking out, long overdue. Expect precious nothing from either party, they'd rather reward ignorance by giving knighthoods to football players who contribute nothing to benefit society.
Having met Prof.Dawkins on a few occasions, I don't always agree with him on everything, I've had to try and seperate his valid points from those which might be ego-driven, but on this occasion, I'm very please to hear of his support.
"After the war, when Turing's role was no longer top-secret, he should have been knighted and fêted as a saviour of his nation. Instead, this gentle, stammering, eccentric genius was destroyed, for a 'crime', committed in private, which harmed nobody."
That paragraph expresses the situation well. A very sad story. Alan Turing should get an apology. But I do agree with Jae that many other people should be in line for an apology too.
If the Equality Bill should pass, wouldn't we have a better chance at seeing to it that members of the Rainbow committee receive the recognition they deserve?
Otherwise, I'm afraid Verde (1) is just being realistic. Go ahead and prove me wrong…Please!
Maybe the Prime Minister can apologise for things which are his fault (record public debt, crappy public services, no police on the streets, illegal wars, not arming troops when he sends them to war……couldn't we go on) rather than things he had nothing to do with.
This is as ridiculous and cynical as Tony Blair "apologising" for the Irish Potato Famine and the slave trade.
I will never cease to be amazed at how cynical politicians will be – let's apologise for this and the gays will vote Labour. Don't fall for it boys
Compensation should be paid to Turing's family for the assault the state committed against Alan's body by administering female hormones to castrate him.
Any person who had the same inhumane treatment because they where gay should be compensated by the state.
I agree with Julian: Gordon Brown can't really give a meaningful apology for something that happened when he was no more than a child and wouldn't even have known what homosexuality – or any other kind of sexuality – meant.
Those who COULD and SHOULD meaningfully apologise are those callous MPs, ex-MPs and other "morality" campaigners (and there must be some of them still alive) who fought tooth and nail to prevent the 1967 reform.
Will, and lets not forget to mention that those callous MPS, ex-MPS and other "morality" campaigners included many tories too, not just labour. Are any of us naive enough to believe that even David Cameron would be taking the lead to offer an apology? Its all very well beating up on Brown, but please, if Cameron and the tories are so pro-gay, why don't they lead the charge to prove it? The same party that gave us Section 28 and many in that party would bring it back if they could. Cameron was once a staunch supporter of it. Leopards don't change their spots to easily except if its for political expediency, no matter which side they're on.
Ah, Richard Dawkins- a voice of sanity-no surprise there.
No 11: Julian: You say: "This is as ridiculous and cynical as Tony Blair "apologising" for the Irish Potato Famine and the slave trade."
Well Tony Blair expressed 'regret' for those things. He didn't apologise. Apparently an apology would leave the government liable for compensation.
I reckon the same reasoning would be used in Turing's case and in the case of all other people convicted for being gay.
I can vouch for that.
As an Acadian whose ancestors were deported from Nova Scotia by the British Armed Forces in the New World in 1755, I know of a number of high strung Political Science students who insist that the Monarchy owes the Acadians an apology, but it ain't in the works, not only because of what you say, that it would leave the British open for compensations, but also because it has been proven beyond any doubt that the Monarchy or the British Board of Trade was not even remotely aware of the deportation of the Acadians at the time.
The decision to deport an entire population of Acadians was taken unilaterally by an upstart general, a guy called Lawrence, who ended up throwing himself on his own sword (poor baby) when it dawned on him how barbaric he had become.
Most Acadians today are content to receive a compassionate word from the Queen. It really does mean a great deal, more than you can imagine, and the 'royal regret' should not be trivialized…in my opinion, of course.
For once I agree with Simon Murphy, one cannot go apologising for a nations past actions, otherwise we would have Italy having to pay compensation for the Roman invasion of Britain. One has to draw a line in the sand, and admit regret, but not sanction it's reasoning.
That said, Alan Turing deserves the recognition that has been ignored him for so long, and even the simple publicity of his massive contributions to computer science will allow people to draw their own conclusions regarding his private life.
I'm not sure what good these public apologies do – it's pretty cold comfort for poor Turing, dead over 50 years, as are (no doubt) most of those involved in his imprisonment.
On the other hand, at least the petition will give his achievements – and, now that it's widely acknowledged, his gayness – some publicity, and that can only be a good thing.
I think in the case of a single innocent person who has not been dead that long and who gave this country a means to defeat the Nazi's is a special case for an apology from the Govt on the issue of why he was punished. That does not mean,as previously said, we don't need to draw a line on general apologies for historical events we now find repugnant and unacceptable; human history is littered with such events and sadly no one country holds the monopoly.
But Vince – that wouldn't really work. It is understandable that the government doesn't want to pay compensation for events long ago. However gay men who were jailed or convicted for being gay are still alive – possibly in their thousands. An apology for Turing would be even less likely seeing as there are many victims of government homophobia who are still alive – unlike slavery or the Irish Famine. I think the government would be worried about opening the floodgates for legal action.
It's a corker, and I am enjoying this intelligent debate.
Once the Equality Bill is passed, I suggest we bring this up again and do something very special to validate Turing, e.g. a posthumous Knighthood = a royal apology in a civilized way. no?
No RealityCheck?
No Tigal-Splatherer?
Just intelligent debate…?
I am dis-cumknockerated…!
I well remember those days, the 1950's and the sheer panic I felt as a teenager at the slow realisation as I read my dad's papers that 'that' orientation was 'me' and that that was where I was heading.
I do not remember Turing or his case but I do remember reading avidly about someone called Vassall; it all seemed so 'heinous' this 'homosexuality' "crime" but even as a kid I could not understand how it could be a crime.
To be a criminal, I thought in my juvenile head, you had to 'do' something; you had to 'lift something' (no comments about 'shirt-tails', please, any bigots out there reading this…heard 'em all B4; ta!..)
You had to murder someone.
But here was something, this 'homosexuality' and it was a crime just to 'be' that; it was a crime to want to touch another man even if that other man also wanted what you wanted.
I was, became, increasingly desperate, as the teen-age years sped on, to get myself away from any situation where I might be with other boys/men and 'do' something and end up in the same place as these other criminals namely the front page of the News of the World to the unending ignominy of my mam….(I thought in those far off days.)
So I went into the Church.
The rest is history explained 'ad nauseam' on these pages preeve.
But I read on another page and I think it was by EAGLE ASHCROFT (an American?) a comment to the effect that the Church was a way of laundering one's orientation.
I long since had already come to that conclusion myself, especially with regard to the Roman Catholic Church with its celibacy rule for its religious (priests, nuns, lay clerics)
The celibacy rule, at a stroke, fends off any query as to "Why are you not married..at 35.?"
There can be no question as to why; the answer is the celibacy rule….a tailor-made excuse/legitimisation and bolt-hole.
No, Keith. The celibacy rule for the clergy was imposed by the Church in a different age when the primary concern of senior clerics was to prevent positions in the Church from being passed on from any person to that person's heir in an automatic fashion – to prevent the priesthood from becoming the heritable spiritual domain of the aristocracy.
All that said, however, I do think that we gay people should be proud of Alan Turing for he gives the lie to those who view us as shallow, meaningless and trivial. He was the foremost mathematician of his generation and his sterling work at Bletchley in breaking the Enigma code and in inventing the computer immeasurably helped to win World War II for the Allies.
Personally, but I'm prepared to be persuaded otherwise, I don't think that an apology for the treatment meted out to Mr. Turing has any value today. I would prefer an honouring of his name and memory and a posthumous award for his faithful service to our country in its hour of need.
Perhaps we should campaign for the Queen to award him a posthumous Garter decoration – or some such equivalent high honour. Certainly, some acknowledgement of him and his talent is needed to be expressed by the establishment. However, I'm just not sure that an apology is appropriate given the fact that the generation that castigated him is now largely defunct or dead. For me a posthumous honour would be better and would seem (again, perhaps, only for me) a more fitting tribute to a great man and a great intelligence.
Apologies, no matter how they are couched, are vapid and evanescent whereas honours conferred record a man in the roles of his country and acknowledge his achievements and talents. I, personally, would prefer him, Alan Turing, to be honoured for his contributions to our society rather than having his memory apologised to and his contributions then forgotten.
That's just my opinion so do, please, feel free to disagree with me.
I agree with Jean Paul Bentham at 22. A posthumous award would be better than an apology for it would validate his actions, his loyalty, his learning and his intelligence – not to mention his suffering and his rejection by his peers.
John M.J
As much as I agree with your statement, unfortunately a large majority in this sorry country of ours would not even know who the man was.
A reasonable percentile would most likely ask, which "Big Brother" was he in or which "Soap".
Indeed, for the sake of future generations a VERY public apology by whichever of these men that destroyed this individual with their hypocritical christian crap should be announced and screamed from the rooftops.
Being a realist, it wont happen.
The type of kids that used to make my childhood bad are now in government.
You have a point, Mr. North, you have a point! But simply because the undereducated and ignorant don't know who Mr. Turing is and what he did for us doesn't mean that he should not be honoured in some way, does it, as well, if we feel that we have to, apologised to?
But I do agree with you just a little bit! Perhaps his memory should be apologised to as well, and honoured. Perhaps now, in these opening years of a new century, our country, our establishment, should make amends for the errors of the past.
Then again, perhaps we shouldn't apologise for what was normal way back then but simply acknowledge that our ancesors were wrong and that we acknowledge greatness in retrospect. I find this issue very confusing for I am torn in two directions. I can quite see tha Mr. Turing was judged by the mores of his time without supporting, from my modern viewpoint, such mores and such viewpoints.
Despite the obvious sincerity of your comment I stick to my idea that Mr. Turing should be honoured rather than apologised to.
Dawkins is using Turing as a convenient bandwagon for his usual anti-religion mantra. I don't think he really gives a stuff about Turing, or anyone else.
Don't be so cynical Rose. Dawkins loves science, and is merely angry at a fellow man of science being hounded for being gay.
it's not cynicism! I've met the man!!! But I DO think Turing should not only be given an apology – albeit WAY too late – but whatever honour can be given to him. I've already signed the petition.
Here we go again, the usual ignorant and conceited mantras bleated about against non-believers based on no evidence….
I studied Computing Science…learned about the tragic fate of Dr. Turing from a professor who had been taught by him. Turing's story opened my straight eyes to the horrible persecution gay men and women have experienced as a result of religious zealots defining morality.
I agree with jae–The question of apology and knighthood for Turing are distinct. An apology is due on both sides of the Atlantic to all those people who have been persecuted. Turing should receive a posthumous knighthood for his invaluable contribution to the war effort. Where can Canadians sign up to help push both these causes? (PS I'm ashamed to admit but under our current neanderthal government, there is only grudging acceptance of LGBT people; on the other hand there is only grudging acceptance of the gov't by most Canadians!
As a Canadian proud of my Acadian roots, the fact that an Acadians now have equal opportunity in this country means more to me than any royal apology for something that does not remotely concern this Monarchy. For example, Acadians now have their own University which has transformed our lives, present and future, and all for the betterment of Canada. These are not just noble thoughts. We have actually had an Acadian Governor-General, and at this very moment, the Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick, home of the Acadians, is himself a highly intelligent and artistic Acadian, the accomplished poet and writer, Herménégilde Chiasson. These honors are much more meaningful to me than an apology from the Queen.
Being recognized for an outstanding contribution to the unfolding of our Democracies represents not only an apology, but also a place in history.
And yes, the Canadian Government does need a blood transfusion, and the sooner, the better. But, we gays are much better off now than when I was growing up, and the whole thing was made possible by the democratic process.
Better than an apology or a knighthood would be a statue on that empty plinth in Trafalgar Square – a site where traditionally military heroes have been honoured. A statue of Turing would not just be a tribute to him but also to the changed attitudes towards homosexuality of society in general and the military in particular. Plus it would piss-off a great number of traditionalists, I imagine….
"pre 1967 laws?"
Turing was convicted for "gross indecency" with a 19 year old, so he would still have been convicted under the same law up until 1994, when the age of consent in Britain was lowered to 18. In fact he probably would have had a considerably more severe sentence AFTER 1967, since the penalties for sex with men under the age of 21 were then increased, and many more such cases were prosecuted.

His latest post raises many points but one disturbing departure from accepted practice should cause as much or more concern than the thug approach the Harper Cons have brought to our parliament and that is the question of the Speaker not intervening when Conservative Peter Van Loon stormed across the floor to dropping 'F" bombs and displaying boorish and threatening behaviour.
Here is his latest and it is right on the money.
