U.S. gov't sues to block American Airlines-US Airways merger
The U.S. Department of Justice and the attorneys general of six states filed suit to block the planned merger of American Airlines and US Airways on antitrust grounds.
The proposed $11 billion deal would create the world's largest air carrier, while leaving more than 80 percent of the U.S. commercial air travel market under the control of just four airlines.
"This transaction would result in consumers paying the price - in higher airfares, higher fees and fewer choices," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement announcing the lawsuit.
Puerto Rican woman sentenced to 99 years in baby's death
A San Juan court judge sentenced a woman to 99 years behind bars for the death of her 5-month-old baby and for hiding his body in a freezer.
Judge Harry Massanet Pastrana handed down his decision after Xiomara Rodriguez Flores, 26, pled guilty to one charge of murder and two others of mistreatment of a minor.
According to the investigation, the baby suffocated on his own vomit after the mother placed him face down on a pillow and went to bed after being bothered by the child's continual crying.
Major U.S.-Mexico border crossing modernized to speed traffic flow
Mexico and the United States plan to unveil a series of "major improvements" later this week on the Tijuana-San Ysidro international border crossing in an effort to speed up the millions of daily border crossings, the Mexican Foreign Relations Secretariat said.
"These modifications will increase the capacity of the lanes on the border bridge and facilitate the flow of passengers crossing the border," the secretariat said in a statement.
On Friday, as part of a widening and reconfiguration project, "Mexico will open five new lanes in the northbound direction on the old access road, known as Puerta Mexico, with the goal of channeling traffic toward the existing U.S. inspection stations," the secretariat said.
24 Hurt in disturbance at Chilean prison
Two dozen inmates were injured in a brawl and subsequent fire at a prison in the central Chilean city of Quillota, authorities said.
The regional director of the prison guard, Juan Carlos Manriquez, said the fire began at 1 a.m. and was started by prisoners who began burning mattresses and other objects that they then threw out the windows of their cells after getting into a brawl.
Manriquez said that the facility's guard intervened and eventually moved all 550 inmates into "the security area."
Cuba marks Fidel Castro's 87th birthday with little fanfare
Cuban Communist Party daily Granma paid tribute to former President Fidel Castro on his 87th birthday with words once spoken by Venezuela's late President Hugo Chavez.
"Fidel does not belong to Cuba alone, he belongs to this our world, to this our America," was the Chavez thought cited by Granma.
Tuesday marks Fidel Castro's eighth birthday since an intestinal illness led him to resign the presidency in 2006. Since then he has only occasionally made a public appearance.
This is also his first birthday since Chavez died of cancer in March at the age of 58.
Gunmen kill 7 members of family in western Mexico
Gunmen killed seven members of a family, including two children, and wounded seven others in the western Mexican state of Michoacan, officials said.
The gunmen attacked 30 members of the family Sunday night in Tuxpan, a city in the eastern part of the state, the Michoacan Attorney General's Office said.
Gunmen armed with assault rifles and pistols opened fire on the family, which had taken shelter in a house in the La Catalina area, the AG's office said.
Six males, including boys ages 10 and 14, and a woman died in the attack.
Attacks leave 13 dead, 28 wounded in Iraq
At least 13 people were killed and 28 others wounded in a series of attacks on the security forces and Shiites in Iraq, police spokesmen told Efe.
A car bombing in Al-Mada'in, a town located 30 kilometers (18 miles) south of Baghdad, killed at least five Shiites and wounded 15 others near a mosque.
The bomb was detonated as Shiite worshippers emerged from the mosque after noon prayers.
4 Injured in Chile gas explosion
At least four people were injured and another 600 were evacuated when a gas truck exploded at a gas station in the coastal Chilean city of Viña del Mar, authorities said.
The accident occurred soon after 12:30 p.m. when the truck was unloading gas at the station.
The truck had a gas leak that caused it to explode and ignite the fire, witnesses told Radio Cooperativa.
Police immediately cordoned of a perimeter three blocks from the station, while firefighters tried to control the blaze and keep it from spreading to neighboring homes, businesses and a nursery school.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Seventy-two hours after the major snowstorm slammed Minnesota, road conditions have vastly improved.
"We are now rating the system as fair," MnDOT spokesman Kevin Gutknecht said.
Gutknecht said the roads have improved dramatically since Saturday.
High winds and cold temperatures have been the biggest problems for crews trying to clean up the snow and ice.
"Salt is a temperature sensitive product. The warmer the temperature is the more effective salt is," MnDOT metro snow and ice manager Mark Fischbach said.
MnDOT had more than 200 crews out in the metro area over the weekend, putting down salt and deicing chemicals.
"The crews around the state have been working very hard for 24 hours a day actually to try to get them clear," MnDOT Deputy Commissioner Sue Mulvihill said.
Originally MnDOT officials thought Monday's commute might be tricky, but extra sunshine over the weekend sped up the clean-up.
"The sun is our friend," Fischbach said. "Air temperature was about 16 degrees, but road surface temperature was 33 to 36 degrees."
The added warmth and temperature sensitive salt should put the highways in fair condition for Monday — until the next storm hits.
"It's only February, so we can expect some more things coming at us," Mulvihill said.
The Minnesota State Patrol says since Thursday at 2 p.m., the patrol has handled 1,183 crashes with 118 involving injuries – one fatal. There were 2,568 vehicles off the road, 75 semi jackknifes 1,253 stalled vehicles and 81 motorist assists.

Last Monday, our new group of dancers in the Nancy Einhorn Milwaukee Ballet II program reported for duty for the 2010-11 season. When class started at 9:00 a.m., 16 young dancers from around the globe were at the barre and ready to go in their formal ballet uniforms (black and pink for girls, black and white for boys.) Our crew actually numbers 19, but Bea from The Phillipines flew in on Monday morning – ordered by her doctor to wait a day to fly after getting her wisdom teeth removed; Stéphano is still in Brazil where he will dance in a show that will pay his way here and Evan, a Milwaukee Ballet School graduate, is performing in Swan Lake in Germany!
A two week head start on the Company gives the Milwaukee Ballet II (MBII) dancers a chance to acclimate themselves and get into shape as a group – and believe me, they are getting into shape. The class schedule has been rigorous – ballet class from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m., an hour for pointe class/men's class and another hour of partnering. (The three boys who are here certainly got a workout without the other two to help partner 14 girls!) Director Rolando Yanes, Associate Director Mireille Favarel and principal teacher Karl vonRabenau spend the remainder of the day rehearsing some of the repertoire we'll do throughout the season – right now La Vivandière, the Swan Lake pas de trois and the Diana and Acteon pas de deux. Going from one ballet maintenance class a day since the time the summer program let out to this schedule is hard on the body and you could see these tired little dancers dragging their ballet bags out of here by the day's end.
Beyond continuing their strict training regiment, performing their own repertoire and dancing with the Company (this season in Esmeralda, The Nutcracker and Coppélia) the MBIIs are the stars of our Community Outreach Program. Education Assistant and Relevé Coordinator Lori Flanigan and I run programs that serve over 25,000 people a year – from kids to senior citizens, in libraries, businesses, nursing homes and elementary schools. The MBII dancers bring the ballet to life for audiences who don't know anything about the art form and to those balletomanes who just can't get enough tutus and tights. This week we wanted the MBIIs to get a sense of all the things their season would entail so we began our workshop training by discussing our outreach philosophy and by rehearsing the workshops themselves. On Tuesday, I got a call from the Aurora Zilber Family Hospice in Wauwatosa that suddenly made all this conceptual talk about the importance of outreach come to life.
The resident chaplain, Tamara, called on behalf of a patient named Robert. She explained how Robert used to dance and teach in Chicago and how he had expressed a wish to see ballet one last time. She was hoping that we could make this happen for him. When I went down to talk to the MBIIs as a group I had a pair of dancers in mind who could quickly put a pas de deux together they did many times last season – however, in this case, I wanted whoever would be performing to decide on their own to do it – this wasn't going to be a typical outreach situation. Lucky for me, and really for Robert, Barry Molina and Erica Alvarado shot their hands up right away to perform the Satanella pas they did last year.
On Friday morning we drove out to the hospice. The staff showed us to the family room – a square space about 12' by 12', not really ideal for a Petipa pas de deux, but none of us cared. We met Robert and the sparkle in his eyes made anything else we might have worried about disappear. Barry and Erica are an adorable pair and Robert agreed. Their performance was beautiful and Robert gave them solo applause many times throughout the pas. A few other patients, staff and families circled the tiny floor that became an intimate stage. Afterwards there was quite a photo shoot (paparazzi I told Robert!) and we had a chance to chat further. Robert held my hand as he talked about his own modern dance training, how he has a room in his house dedicated to his favorite company Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and how he especially loved the outreach residencies he used to at high schools. Was this kismet or what? Barry and Erica have a year of outreach under their belts and I couldn't have been prouder as an education director – it didn't matter what the floor was like or that there was a chandelier hanging down that they needed to watch for during their lifts – they wanted to dance for another dancer and they were exceptional.
I know it's going to be a fantastic season with this group of young dancers – their hard work in the studio is already evident and this first outreach set the pace and the spirit for the year to come. We always tell our audiences that ballet is indeed alive and well and relevant in today's world. This is so tangibly seen in everything the MBIIs do. They are young artists who come to work every day to pursue an incredibly difficult dream. From the steps they are learning in the studio to the beauty they gave to Robert, these dancers have been quite impressive. Inspiring stuff, all in a week's work.

This week, I learned through Facebook about Blackout Haunted House, an interactive theatrical experience in New York City and L.A. Their website advertises a terrifying experience for participants, who must be over 18 and must go through the haunted house alone. The experience includes "crawling", "physical contact", and "sexual and violent situations". What?! Sexual situations? This did not sound like a typical haunted house to me. I started to read the reviews posted on the website, and became more and more disturbed. Here are a few that stood out to me:
"After being immersed in rules and regulations, and signing away your very life, you'll be thrown, literally, into absolute darkness, at which point the terror begins. Sexual violation? Abuse? Torture? Nothing is off limits for the insane carnival of Blackout, the only haunted house we know of where the only way to make it through is to allow physical contact with the actors themselves. It vacillates between off-putting and terrifying… particularly when you have to stick things in your mouth… "
"The scariest haunted house in Manhattan. Expect to crawl, scream, get stapled, painted, and well – almost raped."
"thrill seekers at Vortex Theater's Haunted House are guaranteed to experience 'graphic sexual and extremely violent situations,' by foot or on their knees. "
Another reviewer offered this reflection on the experience:
"Dude kept pouring water on my face when the bag was on my head, I couldn't breathe, much less "bark like a real dog!" I was sucking wind and wet bag was clogging my mouth and nose, and I was hyperventilating."
At an emotional level, I found myself revolted. It is one thing to enjoy being scared, but it is another thing to enjoy a simulation of the experience of being physically and sexually terrorized. There are people who are willing to PAY ($50 for 15 minutes) to participate in an experience where you feel like you are "almost raped"!? I can only imagine how victims of sexual assault and torture– who have experienced terror and violation that is life-altering– would feel about this trivialization of their experience. How did we get to this point as a society that mimicking these experiences has become a form of entertainment?
Once I got past my initial shock reaction, I was able to process this event from a more intellectual perspective. As a media researcher, I concluded that the Blackout Haunted House was an excellent illustration of the massive desensitization of our society. Desensitization refers to the decreased responsivity (both physiologically and emotionally) to a stimulus as a result of repeated exposure. It is well-documented effect of long-term exposure to media violence (for a review, see the chapter "Do Violent Media Numb our Consciences?" in the book The Development and Structure of Consciousness). In other words, the more violent media you watch, the less it scares you, revolts you, or elicits feelings of empathy. Subsequently, the more intense a violent depiction has to be in order to elicit these reactions (which many individuals find thrilling and enjoyable). The danger is that desensitization actually affects brain activity and has been repeatedly linked to higher levels of aggression and less empathy for real-life victims. For example, experimental research with college men has shown that exposure to a few as two sexually violent slasher films lead to reduced levels of empathy for a victim in a portrayal of a rape trial (Linz et al, 1988).
In light of this research, the appeal of Blackout Haunted House in our violent-media-saturated society is easy to understand. I predict that if I surveyed people standing in line for tickets that every one of them would report that they were habitually exposed to violent media. But understanding it doesn't change my feelings- it still makes me shake my head in sadness.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Rather large or medium sized, black with deep purple sheen. Beak and legs black, hind legs heavily scaled, last two tarsal joints and part of preceding one white. Thorax with pale yellowish scales scattered over black background, abdomen unbanded. Very characteristic mosquito, recognized at glance by metallic purple sheen and white hind feet.
Altogether, while this species is sometimes common and bites hard, it can scarcely be considered a pestiferous species, because it does not leave the woods and breeds only in such swampy areas as are not often visited.

Recently I have had phone calls from Extension agents and Green Industry professionals in 3 states asking about "poisonous" hollies in the landscape. I am not sure what stimulated this sudden interest but will share what I learned. Please remember, I am neither a pharmacologist nor a toxicologist and I certainly have done no human feeding or dose response studies. That sort of work seems more appropriate for the medical community than for a horticulturist.
Logically, the first place to look for answers after the website for Poisonous Plants of North Carolina (http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/poison/poison.htm) would be books on poisonous plants. 'Plants That Poison' by Schmutz and Hamilton states that the poisonous parts on hollies are the berries. "The berries of all species are reported to be poisonous if eaten in quantity. The toxic principle is ilicin. Although not considered very poisonous, the attractive red or black berries should be considered dangerous to small children." Symptoms listed are "Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and stupor due to depression of the central nervous system." They also note that "These are the hollies used extensively as Christmas decorations. Indians and early settlers used the leaves to make a mild brew such as 'youpon tea'." The line drawings in this book look like Ilex cornuta.
'Common Poisonous Plants and Mushrooms of North America' by Turner and Szczawinski, gave a more thorough treatment. In the section on English holly (Ilex aquifolium) and related species, they write "Berries and leaves may cause digestive upset; berries occasional cause of poisoning in children, but not known to be fatal." They say the berries and leaves contain theobromine, a caffeine-like alkaloid listing the same toxicity symptoms as Shmutz and Hamilton. "However, fatalities from Holly are unknown, and their poisonous properties are frequently overstated. Mild doses of the leaves or berries cause stimulation of the central nervous system, whereas higher doses cause depression of the central nervous system." If large quantities of the berries have been ingested, they suggest that vomiting be induced followed by activated charcoal and a saline cathartic, excess stimulation caused by theobromine can be countered with barbiturates and benzodiazipines. Obviously, medical professionals need to be involved if treatment becomes necessary.
Turner notes that Yaupon holly, Ilex vomitoria, leaves were used to create a mild caffeine containing tea that was used as a substitute for coffee and tea by southerners in the American Civil War and notes a concentrated brew caused hallucinations and vomiting. Galle, in his massive work 'Hollies, The Genus Ilex,' writes that this concentrated brew was 'black drink', prepared for Native American ceremonial use.
The South American beverage Yerba Mate or Paraguay Tea is made from the holly Ilex paraguariensis var. paraguariensis and is still widely used as a stimulating tea. It contains caffeine. The drink is made from the dried fermented foliage with many cultivars grown in South America. The process reminds me of what is done to Camellia sinensis to make the popular black teas we can purchase in our grocery stores. To my knowledge, Paraguay tea is not an important landscape plant anywhere in the United States.
When I checked for specific toxicity references to our common landscape hollies, I found almost nothing. For the native evergreen species besides Yaupon holly, Ilex opaca, I. cassine, I. glabra and deciduous species, I. decidua and I. verticillata already mentioned, I found that the leaves of I. cassine were sometimes used by Native Americans like the leaves of I. vomitoria to make black drink. There were no other references uncovered that indicated these native species have any toxicity at all. In my more southern days, my favorite honey was gallberry honey which occurs when honeybees are foraging on the flowers of I. glabra and I. coriacea. Despite regular consumption, no toxicity was ever noted.
For the evergreen Chinese species, I. cornuta, there were medical references. The Chinese use I. cornuta in a variety of ways. The bark, leaves and fruit are used in herbal medicine for their general tonic value as well as for diseases of the kidney. Galle writes that seed oil is used in China for soap manufacturing plus a dye and gum are extracted from the bark. This very common landscape species, despite being pictured in a poisonous plants book, appears not to be toxic.
The evergreen Japanese hollies, Ilex crenata, seem to be everywhere in commercial landscapes in USDA hardiness zones 6-8. I. pernyi and I. rugosa are also evergreen hollies native to the orient which are increasingly finding their way into landscapes as selections of the species I. pernyi or as hybrids such as I. x meserveae, the blue hollies, with Ilex rugosa as a parent. The oriental cousin to our native deciduous winterberry hollies, I. serrata, has also made it into gardens as cultivars and hybrids, perhaps the most famous of which is 'Sparkleberry' from the U. S. National Arboretum. No references to medicinal uses or toxicity were found for any of these holly species.
Therefore, it seems that rather than panicing if holly berries or leaves are ingested, we should remember that Turner wrote "fatalities are unknown and their poisonous properties are frequently overstated." In my search only a few species were listed as having medicinal uses. So, if your callers can not watch what their toddlers are eating they probably have much more to fear from common beverages, condiments and household chemicals than from hollies in their landscape.

Baby Steps
By By Cristin Marandino
Bob Capazzo
Beyond the chuckle I got out of Aidan's precocious comment, his words resonated soundly with me. They speak to the very core of the environmental movement. Small efforts combine to make a big impact. Consider this:
• Setting your thermostat a mere two degrees lower in winter and higher in summer would save about 2,000 pounds of carbon dioxide (the major cause of global warming) each year. Two degrees. Come on, anybody can do that!
• Recycling one glass bottle saves enough electricity to light a 100-watt
bulb for four hours.
• Keeping your tires properly inflated can improve your gas mileage by approximately three percent. Every gallon of gas you save keeps twenty pounds of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere — and a whole bunch of money in your wallet.
• If every household in the United States replaced just one regular light bulb with a fluorescent bulb it would be the equivalent of taking 7.5 million cars off the road.
• Fixing a dripping faucet with a simple and inexpensive washer can save up to 2,160 gallons of water a year — that's enough H2O for about thirty showers.
With the knowledge that a little effort goes a long way toward making a difference, I welcome you to our first Green issue. While environmental matters are a global concern, they have a very real local impact. And that's exactly why we have devoted these pages to exploring the latest in green homes and cars, organic food, as well as the health of the Sound. Our slice of Fairfield County is filled with people doing great things to preserve the environment, and it's our pleasure to celebrate these personalities. They serve as constant reminders that we all can do something to make a difference — even if it is just one paper towel at a time.

- Price: $59.99 ($49.99 for PC)
- Genre: Strategy
- Release Year: 2012
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that while XCOM: Enemy Unknown might be a strategy game, it's a "Mature"-rated game because of strong violence, gore, and blood. Players can kill or be killed in a graphic manner. There is also strong profanity in the dialogue sequences, and the online multiplayer matches support open-dialogue between gamers.

What's it about?
Earth is under an extraterrestrial attack and so the Earth's governments unite to form a paramilitary organization, known as XCOM, to fight back against this unknown enemy. You're in control of this elite squad of super soldiers, to battle the aliens on our turf and prevent them from taking over the planet. Gamers do this by creating and defending an operational base, researching alien technologies, and planning and executing turn-based attacks against the aliens (including the deployment of air units like the Interceptor and Skyranger). Despite some differences in control, the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC versions of the game play out the same.
Is it any good?
XCOM: ENEMY UNKNOWN is a refreshing change compared to most other games available today. From Firaxis, the award-winning team behind Civilization, comes this action-heavy strategy game that delivers thrills and spills. The turn-based strategy spans more than 70 missions around the globe, which keeps things fresh, but choosing the right man or women for the job can be just as critical as following through with tactical combat. While the graphics can sometimes be a bit glitchy, the pacing and progression, single and multiplayer maps, and thoughtfully designed soldier depth all add up to an engrossing strategy game worthy of your time, attention, and money.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about whether it's a good idea to resurrect older computer game franchises, like XCOM, and create a new experience for the modern age. Or should classic games be left as is, and game developers should move onto new intellectual properties (IPs)?
This game contains a lot of violence and gore. What is the impact of this kind of violence on the player?

Aim. The aim of this paper was to report the results of a multicenter study on endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in patients with important angulation of the proximal neck using a flexible stent-graft (Aorfix).
Methods. Endovascular repair of AAA using a flexible stent-graft was performed at 16 centers in 29 patients with angulation of proximal neck greater than 45 degrees. Twenty-three patients (79%) had angulation greater than 60 degrees and were therefore contraindicated for repair with other contemporary devices.
Results. Technical success was achieved in all but one case (96%). There was one postoperative death due to multiorgan failure following revision of groin wound for hemorrhage. No patients were converted to open repair. One patient had persisting proximal endoleak despite placement of proximal extension. One patient in whom wireform fractures had been detected died from ruptured aneurysm at nearly 4 year follow-up.
Conclusion. Endovascular repair using a flexible stent-graft is feasible in patients with highly angulated necks. This stent-graft allows the possibiity of a to offer repair for patients unsuitable for the currently available commercial grafts. Mid-term results are acceptable and need to be confirmed by longer follow-up and larger series.

Football can be such a cruel game. Fans watch their team lose each week, but some losses are harder to take, whether because of the opponent or just the score. Some are so bad that even if you're not a fan of the loser, it can still break your heart.
Some losses are infuriating, while others are just humiliating. The toughest losses come on the biggest stages, but that doesn't make the minor ones easier to bear.
Here are the 50 most crushing losses in football history. I've surely left some out, so feel free to chime in with your most gut-wrenching football memories.

He Beat Joshua Bell! Yefim Bronfman Draws Crowd at Rush Hour in Grand Central
By Matthew Westphal
We all remember the headlines last April when The Washington Post Magazine convinced violinist Joshua Bell to busk in a busy D.C. Metro station at morning rush hour. The idea was to see whether people would take out any time to enjoy the music if the busker was as good as it's possible to get. The results were not terribly encouraging — and when Tasmin Little tried something similar in London about two weeks later, they weren't much better.
Yesterday morning in New York was different.
To be fair, Bronfman's appearance was publicized ahead of time (unlike the busking adventures of Bell and Little), so a few people actually turned up ahead of time to get good spots in Vanderbilt Hall, and who knows how many people left for work a bit early so they could stop and listen in?
"As a steady stream of commuters passed, nearly everyone at least looked to see where the music was coming from," reported Anne Midgette for The New York Times. "Some stopped and stayed; some listened briefly and moved on, usually after something tangible — a climax, a run, a flourish — in the music. Some were drawn by the applause and stopped to hear what would happen next."
Passersby who were plugged in to their iPods invariably passed by, she noted.
Bronfman's morning serenade was part of NYC Goes Orange, a week-long fundraising campaign by the Food Bank for New York City. Thus the orange suit — orange is the color of hunger awareness, and there were volunteers wearing orange scarves and pins passing out literature and orange bags of food around the piano (see below).
The rush-hour recital was also the kick-off event for a special online auction to benefit the Food Bank. Bidders are competing for Bronfman himself: the auction prize is a private in-home recital by the pianist, as well as the use for six months of a 7-foot Steinway Music Room Grand Piano with a Player Disc mechanism (with free delivery by Steinway & Sons). The bidding — at www.FimaForFoodBank.com ("Fima" is the Russian nickname for "Yefim") — began today at $5,000 and ends at 6 p.m. on October 29.
And if you're outbid for Fima's private concert, you can hear him next week at Carnegie Hall, in the first of seven concerts in his "Perspectives" series.

We know that the area of the half-circle divided by the area of the whole square multiplied by 100 gives us the percentage that the half-circles occupies in the square. Then, 100% minus the percentage found gives us the percentage of the rest of the square, which is the probability we're looking for. But I've tried to find a concrete percentage but I couldn't, I'm a bit rusty tonight and it's getting late Tell me if you get anything new...
Those are the calculations for what I've stated above:
x 100
x 100
x 100
% = The percentage that the half-square occupies
100% - %= The probability we're looking for...
100% - 129% = -29%

Before I came to the conclusion that organized religion was actually quite unorganized, I made an honest effort to find a brand of Christianity that best represented my beliefs. I'm fairly open-minded, and I'll try most things at least once. So like an investigative reporter who's gone deep cover to understand the inner workings of an organization, I have tried more branches of Christianity than your average person.
I grew up going to a Baptist church. The kind where the Pastor kept a new Cadillac and the women wore big hats for no reason. This particular church didn't require people to be immersed in water (baptized) in order to be considered saved. You just had to join their congregation on paper, and give money. They took 3-4 collections every service and made it known if you didn't put any money in the plate. After they collected, they would say something like, "stand up if you gave $100 or more". They would go through every denomination down to one. Then they would say, "well, stand if you gave nothing". It was the first church that I knew of that gave W2s to people to file taxes with. Anyway, except for the musical distractions I didn't like that church very much.
I courted this Apostolic Church for a while. When I decided to join, some ladies took me in this room in the back. They told me that in order to be considered a member, I would have to speak in tongues...on the spot. So they gave me these phrases to keep repeating over and over really fast, and that was supposed to make me speak in tongues. Because I was really giving a valiant effort, for three hours, I had to say things that sounded like "tie my bow tie" and "alibaba". Say "tie my bow tie" to yourself repeatedly. I felt like a fool saying "tie my damn bowtie" over and over. And they wouldn't give me any water. My mouth all dry and stuff, and naturally I didn't speak in tongues. When I left, I never returned. They called me every day for about two weeks, and when they got the hint they stopped.
Then there was COGIC (church of God in Christ). That place was a joke. Period. The choir was horrible; full of kids and old people, and although the pastor was male, he only spoke on Men's Day, which was every 5th Sunday. There was little emphasis on the bible, and the congregation was made to believe that they weren't qualified to understand the bible on their own. Long story short, it was a chick church. They were only interested in fashion anyway. I only went because my ex-wife went, and they were all family.
After that, I tried White Jesus...
There was the Seventh Day Adventist church. Since I believe that Saturday is the Sabbath, and they got together on Saturday, I thought I'd give it a try. They believe that one must be immersed in water (baptized) to order to be considered saved, that the day ends at sunset, and that the body is "sleep" until judgement day. Unlike Baptist, COGIC and Apostolic, the Adventists do communion four times a year instead of "First Sunday". The teachings were nice, and so were the people, but I eventually decided to further my search.
Last but not least, I began studying with the Jehovah's Witnesses. Now, people tend to prematurely dislike the Witnesses without really knowing why. It's just one of those thing you grow up learning from your parents. I liked them for the most part. They do go door to door to preach the gospel, and that's cool because the Apostles did it. That's something no other church I've been a part of has done. They teach you the bible so you can teach someone else, so learning the bible for yourself was a big plus. They teach you public speaking if you don't have experience, and they teach you how to turn a "no" into a "yes". They never asked you for money. If you walk two steps inside of a Kingdom Hall, you have already walked past the box where money is placed. There's no choir. We sang hymns from a book just like the Adventists. There were some concerns that eventually led to me sneaking away under the cover of darkness: They believe that Jesus took his throne in Heaven in 1914 after amending it from 1874 when absolutely nothing tangible happened on earth then. They believe that Michael the Archangel and Jesus is the same person. If the logic behind that were an SAT multiple choice question, it would read, "The bible says that Jesus leads an army of angels. It also says that Michael the Archangel leads an army of angels. Based on the information given, which of the following is probably true? A.) Jesus likes candy B.) Michael Jackson is an Archangel C.) Tupac is still alive D.) Jesus and Michael is the same person". With the answer being D.). I don't want to go any further because I don't want to come off like I'm bashing the Witnesses. I've met some wonderful people, but it's just not for me at this point in my life.
I now read and study the bible on my own. No distractions, no fake preachers, no big hats, no assumptions and no tying any bow ties. Since doing it on my own, I've gotten more out of the bible and learned more about myself and people in general than all the years spent searching for the right brand of Christianity.
You don't have to answer, but I'm going to ask anyway. Do you go to church? If so, which brand works for you. Do you know of any churches that would be considered a cult? For the Atheists: Is religion as big a joke to you as it is to some Christians? For the Muslims: What do you think about Christianity?
Before I came to the conclusion that organized religion was actually quite unorganized, I made an honest effort to find a brand of Christianity that best represented my beliefs. I'm fairly open-minded, and I'll try most things at least once. So like an investigative reporter who's gone deep cover to understand the inner workings of an organization, I have tried more branches of Christianity than your average person.

Nature Day Camp Information
Get on board with Environmental Education's "Nature Day Camp!" (Preschool, Youth & Teen Camps!)
Make sure your 2017 summer includes Summer Nature Day Camp! Children & youth under the age of 13 disappear into the woods and wild spaces of Portland as they learn ecology, explore nature's nooks & crannies, spend hours with our diverse & adventurous staff and help make our parks a better place. Weekly nature themes drive the ecology focus of the camp, and are used as a catalyst for children to learn & experience the world around them. As the week goes on and children become more familiar with the staff and the park, the activities shift into child-directed play and learning with the hope of creating a meaningful individual experience for each child and the group as a whole.
We hire staff who have an affinity to both ecology and play, and our summer staff members are trained in the traditional crafts & games of Nature Day Camp, child development, small group and large group management, risk management, Leave No Trace principles, nature crafts, ethnobotany, Portland Parks & Natural Areas stewardship, First Aid, and CPR. Our goals are to connect children to nature through experiential ecology, to model curiosity & wonder and to be positive role models toward youth of all ages.
Summer Schedule of Camps We have camps for preschoolers (partial-day), youth (full-day) and teens. The 2017 Schedule will be available in February! We also have volunteer programs for teens age 13-17. See the Teacher Apprentice page for more information.
2017 Nature Themes Theme info will be available Feb 2017!
Staff Camp staff have experience with environmental education curricula, wilderness philosophy, and child management techniques. PP&R runs an extensive background check for each individual on a yearly basis. Staff are all certified in CPR and first aid as part of their yearly training.

Yakima Basin Water Supply - May Forecast Released
Media Contact: John Redding, (208) 378-5212
Chuck Garner, (509) 575-5848 ext. 205
For Release: May 06, 2013
YAKIMA, Wash. - The Bureau of Reclamation's May 2013, Total Water Supply Available (TWSA) forecast for the Yakima Basin indicates a full water supply for both senior and junior water rights.
"The water conditions at the end of April in the Yakima Basin have reservoir levels above average while snowpack is near average at most sites and below average at a few." said Chuck Garner, Yakima Project River Operations supervisor.
At this time both junior and senior water rights holders are expected to receive their full water supply. The water supply forecast will be updated each month through July. Specific water delivery levels will not be determined until later in the year when the reservoir system's storage begins to decline.
The May TWSA forecast is based on flows, precipitation, snowpack, and reservoir storage as of May 1, along with estimates of future precipitation and river flows. Other future weather conditions that determine the timing of the run-off and the demand for water are also critical in determining streamflows, reservoir storage, and the water supply available. "The upcoming spring and summer weather will have an impact on crop demands and stream flow levels. Water saved through good irrigation practices will help increase the amount of water in the reservoirs at the end of the season," Garner said.

NINDS recently announced a new research education program for residents. The research education grant is a flexible and specialized mechanism designed to encourage the development of neuroscience researchers through both research training and educational experiences. It will prepare clinicians to successfully compete for individual fellowships or mentored career development awards.
There is critical need for additional clinician-scientists with the medical training and research experience to conduct basic, clinical, and translational research on neurological disorders. NINDS provides mentored career development awards (K08 and K23 grant mechanisms) to highly qualified clinician-scientists who have early training and experience in research, and who generally have one or more significant, original research publications. However, there is need for a mechanism to support the early training of clinicians during the residency/fellowship period in research and related skills, which would enable them to compete successfully for the mentored career development awards.
The research education grant to neurology and/or neurosurgery programs will create an opportunity for residents in neuro-related training programs (e.g., neurology, neurosurgery, neuropathology, and neuroradiology) to participate in a 6- to 12-month mentored research education experience during their residency. Funding may be continued for up to 12 months in their fellowship years. It will include the necessary training for successful competition for independent mentored research awards and will facilitate the transition from resident to research fellow to clinician-scientist. In addition to laboratory research skills, participants will develop the critical skills necessary to design and conduct research experiments and write competitive grant applications.
The overall goal of the program is to ensure that highly trained neuroscientists will be available to make future advances that will lead to a reduction in the burden of neurological disease.
The deadline for receiving applications is September 10, 2008. Potential applicants should contact Dr. Stephen Korn, Director of Training and Career Development, NINDS; telephone: 301-496-4188; email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Those that have Garmin Delta Collars, what are the good and the bad about them and would you buy another one? Are they too complicated to operate easily?
Those that have Garmin Delta Collars, what are the good and the bad about them and would you buy another one? Are they too complicated to operate easily?
Try the search feature, plenty of discussions about them.
I have the garmin delta and have been using it now for a few weeks... I'm overall pretty happy with it, but if I could change anything about it I would like to see the level of stimulation dial larger with distinct clicks so levels could be changed with out looking at the collar. Im not to familiar with other collars and the levels of correction or stimulation but I know that for my male black lab a little more stimulation range would be nice. That being said my female lab doesn't need more than a two or three setting to get her thinking. It all depends on your dog.
Just my two cents...
"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"
"I dont believe people should be able to own guns."
"I will not sign a healthcare reform plan that adds one dime to our deficits, either now or in the future."
"We've got to make sure that people who have more money help the people who have less money."
"Over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go."
B. Hussein Obama
Now I am not a full time trainer but I love the collar. Get it set where you want your levels and go. Seems durable and easy to use. Hunted in the pouring down rain and had no issues at all with it.
Lone Oak's Marley Man.. (My first)
Yea that's one of my rubs with discontinuing the Sport collars. Never had to look at that dial to tell what level you were on, not so with the "new better" stuff. Not a fan of them.
I dont adjust the settings differently my dog is a little soft so light nick will do the trick. I set it on the setting I want and leave it there and on for when I do need it.

As a wannabe Perl guy, I appreciate the power and flexibility of regular expressions. mod_security seems to be an elegant and relatively simple solution to a complicated problem.
I don't think the point is to avoid having to build security into applications from the ground up. After all, the same regexes you'd use in mod_security would work just as well in the application's input validation and probably ought to be there as well. Nothing wrong with double-checking input where potential security issues are concerned.
But I think mod_security is more than just a stopgap measure.
First of all, it is a security wrapper that can be used to protect web apps that you didn't write yourself and haven't had time to pick apart for flaws. Imagine your boss handing you an app written by a vendor and telling you to get it up and running ASAP. That never happens, right? Enter mod_security.
Second, why wouldn't you want to stop attacks as early in the session as possible? It means you can free up resources to handle the next legitimate request that much faster.
The only real drawback is what we all know: that complex regular expressions can be very tricky to implement. But that's another reason I like mod_security's post payload functionality. You can filter input progressively through a ruleset of many regular expressions rather than having to craft the "one true regex" that catches everything.
I'll definitely keep mod_security in mind.

Sound: "Selling England By The Pound", is what I consider the best album Genesis ever made. Tony Banks discovers synthesizers and real soloing, Steve Hackett introduced sweep picking to progressive rock, and Peter Gabriel's vocals were at their best. The album is started with the two radio hits, "Dancing With The Moonlit Night" and "I Know What I Like", considered the greatest works in the Hackett/Gabriel era. The rest of the album fluidly runs with little error, with "Firth Of Fifth", "After The Ordeal" and "The Cinema Show", one of Banks' greatest keyboard solos. // 9
Lyrics: Even after writing "Suppers Ready" for Foxtrot, Peter Gabriel was still full of amazing songs, and his vocals were just as good if not better. His reference to pop culture destroying Britain's music in "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight" is genius, and his writing about mythology and classical Shakespear in "The Cinema Show" is especially good. Even Phil Collins' vocals in "more fool me" is Beautiful. // 9
Overall Impression: Compared to the sometimes more drawn out songs in previous albums, "Selling England By The Pound" is essential. "Firth Of Fifth" was the first song that got me into Genesis, with the piano intro, the amazing lyrics, synthesizer jam session showing off Phil Collins' worth as a drummer, and the amazing guitar solo at the end, this song is my personal favorite song of any Genesis song. If there is anything on this album that's not perfect, it's "Battle Of Epping Forrest", one of those songs where the band got a little carried away with their jamming. If someone stole this from me I would probably slit their wrists with a rusty fish hook! If you are not sure what Genesis album to get, "Selling England By The Pound" is a good start! // 10
Sound: Genesis (with Peter Gabriel) is commonly know as one of the greatest progressive rock bands out there. After you listen to this album, it will be difficult for you to disagree. "Selling England by the Pound" is Genesis' fifth studio album, and was a large step forward for the band. Out of the eight tracks on the album (clocking just over 50 minutes), only one comes to mind that is a bit of a let down, being "The Battle of Epping Forest" (there is such a thing as TOO much jamming).
Each member of the band has grown as a musician, and the band itself has grown much tighter. You can really tell these guys know each others styles and easily make all of their parts fit wonderfully with each other. It's very rare that you hear a band that is this close together in terms of sound.
This album has a ton of great songs, and many of them you will want to listen to again. The great thing about them is that they're constantly moving. Often a song ends in an entirely different way then it started, and this constant change really makes the music interesting to listen to. From the flute solos, to the guitar solos, to the piano solos, this band really pulls off great music. The music is catchy, while at the same time being interesting and techinically complicated.
In terms of actual instrumentation, Genesis is no let down. Tony Banks, the pianist / synthist, begins to play a more dominant part in the band, having more complex solos and parts in the songs. His playing has definitely gotten even better from the last album, and even when his part isn't as important he manages to make it sound amazing. Phil Collins does a fantastic job on drums, able to keep up with strange time signature while still keeping things interesting and moving. Steve Hackett's guitar playing is also nearly flawless. He is able to acheive a very amazing tone, and while for the most part his guitar playing is not overly complicated, the feeling and emotion in it can really be heard. It may be strange to say, but I almost felt like there wasn't enough guitar however.. Other than that though, the guitar is fantastic. Mike Rutherford's bass is good.. when it's there. When he plays, he plays beautifully, but there could definitely be a lot more of it. Many songs feel slightly lacking without a powerful bass part. Finally, Peter Gabriel's flute parts are breathtaking. They fit in perfectly with the style of song and sound amazing.
So basically, this album is great. The band obviously consists of very talented musicians who know what they're doing and do it well. There are a few downsides, including some of the extended jamming and lack of guitar solos and bass, but these are relatively minor when compared to all of the good parts. // 9
Lyrics: The lyrics on this album are really great. Catchy, but not too catchy. Deep, but not so deep you don't understand what they're talking about. Intelligent, but not so intelligent you need a new dictionary. The lyrics avoid the two extremes, and fall almost perfectly in the middle. The lyrics go along with the music too, and cover a variety of topics, making the album even more of an enjoyable experience.
On actual vocals, we have Peter Gabriel (and Phil Collins on "More Fool Me"). Peter Gabriel is obviously a professional at what he does and is clearly an amazing singer. His voice fits perfectly with the music, and it is outstanding the way his voice can really make the song. Phil Collins also does a great job on the one song he sings on the album.
The lyrics and vocals are a strong point of the album, and I think without Peter Gabriel, Genesis wouldn't be the same (as is proven by Genesis turning into a lame pop band after his leave). // 9
Overall Impression: This album is great. It is probably my absolute favourite Genesis album. It's very progressive, but it's not just limited to that. Some of my favourite songs from the album (and probably favourite Genesis songs ever) include the amazing "Firth of Fifth" with all of its solos and sheer awesomness, and the mellow instrumental "After the Ordeal". "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight" also deserves some honourable mention. So if you're a fan of prog, rock in general, or Genesis, this is a great album. In my opinion it is the greatest Genesis album made, and although it is lacking in some parts, overall it's fantastic. // 9

Elizabeth Reaser sat down with John Horowitz at MTV News for MTV's Sneak Peak on The Art of Getting By along with her cast mates and was asked about her final day of shooting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.
From MTV.com:
She recalled saying goodbye to the epic five-movie saga while shooting the highly-anticipated Edward/Bella wedding scene, even though her work on the film wasn't quite over. She'd had to stick around a bit longer to finish up some shooting on the film.
"Suddenly, we were on the dance floor at the wedding and it was suddenly over," she said. "It's also 7 in the morning, and we had been shooting all night, so it was this weird, surreal experience. We were all in shock."
You can read more HERE and watch a clip below.

It was a great week for Elizabeth Reaser whose new film 'Homework' with Emma Roberts and Freddie Highmore was purchased by Fox Searchlight Pictures! It looks like a really good movie that will probably do well so keep a look out for it!
Tinsel Korey just released a song called The Letter on Amazon and I-Tunes. She has a sweet voice and you can play a sample on Amazon. It's only .99 and it really is beautiful.
Twilighters have ascended on Arsenal Park in Baton Rouge where they've been doing some outdoor filming for Breaking Dawn. The green screen is HUGE and I'm certain it is visible from space so I'm not sure how they'll keep tight security on that, but I guess we'll see….
Keira Knightley has officially replaced Marion Cotillard as the female lead and love interest in the film adaptation of Cosmopolis. She will play Rob's(Eric Parker) wife. I was looking forward to seeing Marion in this role so I'm a little bummed but look forward to seeing what Keira will do with it. Fingers crossed.
The Razzies were announced this week and I call bullshit! Somebody is a hater. Eclipse is nominated in every category. Hate it if you will, but don't tell me it is the worst movie of the year. That just makes you sound like you've got an axe to grind. You can see all the nominees here.
Elizabeth Reaser (Esme Cullen) was at the Sundance Film Festival when MTV asked her about working with Mackenzie Foy (Reneseme) and about what it was like to see Kristen as a newborn vampire for the first time. Check this post out because there are nice videos of her answering questions about both.
With the last two Twilight movies now filming in Baton Rouge and soon to move to Vancouver, there is concern as to what happens to Forks when the Twilighters stop coming. Tax revenue has increased dramatically in Forks since the books and movies were released. Twilighters have traveled from across the country and across the globe to visit this tiny magical town. What happens to the town with one stoplight when the money stops rolling in? Go here to see the town's concerns as well as some great photos I took on my trip in October.
Listal.com got Photoshop happy with several movie posters and gave them the Twilight hookup. I posted the best ones on our site but check out Listal's website to see all of them but I posted a few of my favorites below.
It was a fun week in the world of Twilight but I have some good things planned for next week, so stick around!

Elizabeth Reaser (Esme Cullen) was at the Sundance Film Festival when MTV asked her about working with Mackenzie Foy (Reneseme) and about what it was like to see Kristen as a newborn vampire for the first time.
"She's wonderful, and she lives across the hall from me in Baton Rouge, and she's a wonderful, great actress," Reaser said. "She never complains about anything. She's so professional about everything. She's such a sweetheart…..I think it was really well cast between Rob and Kristen. She could be their kid, you know? She looks like that," Reaser said, laughing about the fact that Foy, who is 25 years younger than her, is playing her grandchild. "This is far too quick!"
Elizabeth talks about Mackenzie at Reneseme:
Elizabeth talks Breaking Dawn (starts at the 1:59 mark):
"She scared me a little bit on Thursday, I'll be honest with you," she said. "Because when vampires are newborns, they're stronger than any other vampires, so for a second there I thought, 'This might not end well. She's looking pretty pissed right now.' It was great."

Elizabeth Reaser's new film Homework has been purchased by Fox Searchlight Pictures!
"George, a lonely and fatalistic teen who's made it all the way to his senior year without ever having done a real day of work, is befriended by Sally, a popular but complicated girl who recognizes in him a kindred spirit."
Elizabeth plays Charlotte Howe, Emma Robert's character's mother. It is a coming of age movie and while we've seen that over and over again through the years, these movies don't generally have such a talented cast. Homework stars Freddie Highmore, Emma Roberts, Michael Angarano, Elizabeth Reaser, Rita Wilson, Sam Robards and Blair Underwood. The film was produced by P. Jennifer Dana, Kara Baker, Gia Walsh and Darren Goldberg. The film is scheduled to be released in 2011.

What a long, strange sicky week its been, in my house anyway, but there was plenty of Twilight news to keep us busy.
Here are a few highlights:
We learned about the Twilight themed Parks and Recreation episode.
The Red Riding Hood movie poster as well as the official trailer from Catherine Hardicke were released and it looks like it will be an excellent and visually stunning film.
Rob was back on the Water for Elephants site doing reshoots and there were lots of photos available. I'm really excited to see this film!
On Sunday Rob and Peter attended the Golden Globes and we got to see tons of photos anf even some great videos from MTV that I posted on my Big Fat Golden Gloes Post.
We got to see a new HD photo from Breaking Dawn!
Rob was bleeding on the Water for Elephants! It was scary to see and we were glad that it was just for the movie.
There usually isn't a tom of info out of the Breaking Dawn set but I was glad to see that they were getting ready to shoot at Bella's house. Not the real on but one they were building in Vancouver.
Kristen Stewart was on the cover of Vogue! The photographs, all shot by Mario Testino was incredible and Kristen looks beautiful! There is also a behind the scenes video as well.
Rob came in at #8 on Time Magazine's list of Top British Invasions!
We played the "who is in Cosmopolis?" game and got Kristen's tortilla soup recipe.
Jackson Rathbone stopped by the Fender Showcase and we got the first look at the trailer for Ashely Greene's new movie Skateland.
The Official Twilight Convention Tour kicked off in Seattle this weekend and is again hosted by The Hillywood Show who will be showing Eclipse Parody that this year's shows!
Moviefone put out a list of 10 Sundance 2001 Films Most Likely to Hit Theaters Soon.
1. Red State
2. My Idiot Brother
3. The Convincer
4. Another Happy Day
5. Margin Call
6. Like Crazy
7. Homework
Drama. With Freddie Highmore, Emma Roberts, Michael Angarano, Elizabeth Reaser, Rita Wilson, Blair Underwood. Directed by Gavin Wiesen. A smart loner befriends the school beauty in a high school coming-of-age tale. An attractive cast could make 'Homework' stand out from other ho-hum coming-of-age dramas that have debuted at Sundance.
8. The Ledge
9. Little Birds
10. Page One: A day in the Life of the New York Times
I think more than a few of these movies look promising. Elizabeth Reasor in Homework sounds like it could be good. I also like Emma Robets. Michael Angaranois it it as well. That should be interesting. There is a documentary on the list which I find surprising, but I would love to see a behind the scenes documentary of the New York Times. I'm sure that's packed with one good story after another.
Sundance openes on January 20th.
And finally, we got a look at the new Breaking Dawn title card!
Newer news:
Judi Shekoni who plays Zafrina in Breaking Dawn is launching her own hair extensions company and there is talk of Rob being interested in playing Jeff Buckley in a movie about his life. One word, Hallelujah! I think Rob would be perfect for this so I hope it is reliable info. He can sing, well. He can play guitar, well and my guess is that he can probably lip sync too.
Jeff Buckley died in Memphis Tennessee in 1997 at the age of 30 when he went swimming in the Wolf River. I've read a bit about his life and I think there is a good story there. It would be great if Rob was the one who got to tell us that story.

تهران : سازمان اسناد و كتابخانه ملى جمهورى اسلامى ايران، <2007> Edition: چاپ 1Tihrān : Sāzmān-i Asnād va Kitābkhānah-i Millī-i Jumhūrī-i Islāmī-i Īrān,
This bibliography of Iran/Islamic studies is presented in two volumes and the time period covers 1613-present. It includes books that have been written in languages other than Persian and Arabic by non Iranian authors. Also translations from Persian and Arabic by Iranian authors published in the 14th century have been eliminated.
List of books sorted by language are as follows:
English: 7882 Titles
Russian: 3027
French: 2279 German: 770
Other: 20
Total 13,978
The Center for Library services (Tehran Book processing Center) was established in 1983 in the National Library of Iran. Their primary task was to catalog the Islamic studies collection of the National Library based on international standard. Holdings are divided into two sections, Persian-Arabic, which has always been cataloged in Persian, and other languages in English.
-Sample entries
Transliteration from languages such as Persian, Arabic, Cyrillic, Swahili,...etc, facilitates a better access to a wide range of resources for researchers at the Library of Congress, also, cataloging all original and translations belonging to one author under one name in English, allows the patron to start the search with one single name in English such as Omar Khayyam, and find his entire literary work in many different languages. In the advent of electronic database, the patron types Omar Khayyam and is able to find a 300 collection of Khayyam's works and not only poems in all languages but also in many different formats such as: CD, music, tape, etc.
Why the bibliography (cataloging) should be in Persian language?
Providing easy access to information is one of the main goals of every library and information center. Therefore, national libraries around the world, in addition to the Library of Congress, catalog their collection in their national language, regardless of the original language. Hence, the question is why shouldn't we follow that pattern and catalog non-Persian holdings into the Persian language.
The reason Library of Congress couldn't apply vernacular alphabets in its database for nearly two decades was that they had no choice but to apply MARC (Machine Readable Cataloging) in DOS operating system, when they began using computers to maintain their database. The entries were in English but the content remained in the original language. In 2004 a new program enabled the system to complete the entries with the information in the original language and script as well as its transliteration in the English language.
The idea of Persian language cataloging was initially proposed to the Pahlavi National Library in 1977 in the form of preliminary draft of recommendations to launch the Tehran Book Processing Center. However, it was also stated that certain preparations need to be in place before this idea can take shape, such as creating a transliteration table from various languages to Persian language. Also it was suggested that until such time, non-book items be cataloged in Persian alphabet and script, but LC style should be followed for all printed materials for the time being. Further, library information science was going through fundamental changes in Iran during the 60's and the 70's, so time was likely to be right for such radical changes in the arrangement of this collection. Later as the recommended developments were made such as; author's Mark tables in Iran/ Islamic studies, creating Persian subject headings, translation of Anglo-American Bibliographic Description, and also
ISBD(M)-International Standard Bibliographic Description Monographs for Persian and Arabic, along with a lot of other helpful resources, the effort to catalog Latin alphabet text into Persian got finally started. The only problem at the beginning of this project was lack of Library Science majors with cataloging skills and knowledge of English, French, Russian and German. However, we were able to start the work on the French collection in 1996, English and Russian collection in 1997, and also German in the year 2000.
Comparison between Persian and Latin cataloging
The disparity between Iran/Islamic studies cataloging in Persian, and the LC collection is not just the translation from one language to the other, but is the nuts and bolts of how Iran National Library has integrated cultural and language identity into Dewey and LC classification system. Regardless of the original text, this initiative has been extended to all areas linked to Iran such as, literature, history, geography, theology, philosophy, music and arts. Same pattern has been applied to subject heading entries, it means that subjects have been modified according to the content. Also, same revision/editing is made for ISBD (International Standard Bibliographic Description), based on Persian language and cultural characteristics in the Iranian National Library. Therefore, current bibliography of Iran/Islamic studies has benefitted from all the mentioned modifications, and this process only started when the necessary ground work had been laid.
Moreover, nearly all books in the present bibliography can be found in the Library of Congress collection and database as well as other major western libraries, since LC cataloging has a reputation for impeccable accuracy, often times we use that as our guide for comparison, however, the end result as mentioned before, represents certain differences.
Search by author :Names are usually different from LC style. For example, you see Omar Khayyam in the LC database/card catalogs, but in this bibliography you see; Khayyam, Omar ebn Ebrahim, 422-517(Islamic calendar).
Corporate headings: When publishing is carried out by an institution or organization the title is translated into Persian not transliterated. As such, US Department of State is translated according to what It's called in the Persian language which is, US Ministry of Foreign Affairs, although, the title in the original language is always available next to the translation. Such translations are based on a published translation of the list of foreign organizations that are kept in the National Library.
Search by subject: In most cases according to LC classification, there is no indication of the subject, such as, poetry, novel, play, etc, or categorizes it among a wide range of subjects. This is especially applicable when the original work is in vernacular languages (figures 1-3). However, the revised Persian version can be seen in the figure 4. Therefore, we have facilitated search by subject in special cases through the creation of specific subject headings (look under Khyyam in the present bibliography). In addition, we have included new subjects to the collection classified by LC for Iranian scholars, even if there is only a brief chapter about Iran. Subject headings are all in Persian language and extracted from "Farsi Subject Headings", published by Iran National Library, 1381/2002.
Classification: The complete collection of the National Library has been classified according to Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress style. Although, as mentioned earlier, National Library holdings have gone through additional classification in order to meet the Persian language and cultural requirements (see figure 5). In cases such as applied or pure science, economy...etc, LC and Dewy classification are not altered. Catalogers have two different classification methods at their disposal, to choose which fits their requirements the best.
Author Mark: Author is a crucial factor for both Dewey and LC classification. As there might be several copies of books under the same subject, therefore, special codes are applied to distinguish between them based on author, as such; shelving these similar groups becomes easier as well as retrieving them. Previous to adapting Persian codes, books were shelved according to English language alphabet.
The present bibliography includes the following indexes:
1. Subject index 15,593 entries
2. Title index in English 7,467 entries
3. Title index in Russian 3,027 entries
4. Title index in French 2,157 entries
5. Title index in German 753 entries
6. Title index in other languages 20 entries
7. Name index in French, English,
German and other languages 8430 entries
Total 42180 entries
