Travel loyalty programs are designed, in theory, to make us not think twice about our airline or hotel selection, but that doesn't mean the programs should be in total control. If the loyalty program we have pledged our loyalty to makes changes we don't like, we often have a way out, in the form of status matching. Status matching is a courtesy that many airline and hotel loyalty programs will extend to customers that want to switch some business to them. Basically, it's when a loyalty program "matches" your elite status in another program to a similar tier in their program. The idea is that they want to win over your business, and the way to do that is to treat you right from day one, assuming you have a history as a frequent traveler.
Status matches are typically once in a lifetime for any given program. Given how many changes we've seen in the travel industry over the past few years, especially in the form of consolidation, I guess it's appropriate to wonder whether we're talking about once in our lifetime or once in a loyalty program's lifetime. You can use any given status to match to more than one program, it's just that each individual program can typically only be matched to once.
There's typically no status matching within alliances. While it's sometimes more of an informal policy than a strict rule, airlines within the same alliance typically agree not to snatch away each others' customers. In other words, British Airways won't match American Airlines status (since they both belong to the OneWorld alliance), and Continental won't match Air Canada status (since they both belong to the Star Alliance).
Enjoy status for longer by matching in the second half of the year. If you match in the first half of a year, the status is typically good for the remainder of the year, while if you match in the second half of a year, status is typically good for the remainder of that year and the entire following year. So while different airlines have different policies, it generally makes sense to match in the second half of the year.
Airline Status Matching and Challenges
Finally, it's worth mentioning that, depending on your employer and its travel spend, you may have easy access to at least mid-tier status with certain airlines and hotel programs. It's certainly worth checking.

United States District Court, N.D. California
October 6, 2005.
HOMER E. HAWKINS, Plaintiff,
MARIN SHERIFF; et al., Defendants.
Homer E. Hawkins, currently in custody at the San Mateo County
Jail, filed this pro se civil rights action under
42 U.S.C. § 1983 in 2003, concerning events in 2002 and 2003 while he was in
custody at the Marin County Jail. After determining that Hawkins
had three prior qualifying dismissals and could not proceed in
forma pauperis, the court dismissed the action without prejudice
to Hawkins filing an action for which he paid the full filing fee
at the time he filed his complaint. Hawkins appealed. The Ninth
Circuit reversed the dismissal because the court had counted as a
prior dismissal the dismissal of a habeas action filed by Hawkins
which was not allowed under Andrews v. King, 398 F.3d 1113 (9th
Cir. 2005), a case decided more than a year after this court's
dismissal order was issued. The case file was returned from the
Ninth Circuit last week, and it is now time to resume the case
where it stopped, i.e., at the initial review stage. The
complaint is now before the court for initial review under
BACKGROUND Hawkins' complaint in this action was very poorly written. He
listed the primary defendant as "don't know" and the additional
defendants as "none," although on the cover page he listed the
defendants as the Marin Sheriff, chief of police, jail commander,
and "the officer's employees". See Complaint, pp. 1, 3. Hawkins
alleged in his complaint that a county officer was "doing
thing's" and a "count officer threaten to do more because I have
been fileing `grievances.'" Complaint, p. 3 (spelling and
grammatical errors in source). Hawkins further alleged that he
had filed numerous grievances about his legal materials being
opened, thrown around his cell and disappearing. Hawkins further
alleged that he had been threatened that the problems would
continue if he did not stop writing grievances. He further
alleged that his mail (that might have been legal mail) was
returned because he was indigent. He requested this court to
order officials at the jail to stop violating his rights.
A few weeks after he filed his complaint, Hawkins filed a
document entitled "Affidavit in support of motion to proceed in
forma pauperis and for appointment of counsel/attorney: to amend
(civil action/lawsuit): an order compelling discovery: request
for production of documents." (Docket # 4.) The "affidavit"
appears to be, among other things, an attempt to add new
defendants to the action and add claims for violation of privacy
rights and the attorney/client privilege based on monitoring of
conversations between attorneys and clients, although it is not
pled that Hawkins ever was subjected to any such monitoring.
A. Review Of Complaint
A federal court must engage in a preliminary screening of any
case in which a prisoner seeks redress from a governmental entity
or officer or employee of a governmental entity. See
28 U.S.C. § 1915A(a). In its review the court must identify any cognizable
claims, and dismiss any claims which are frivolous, malicious,
fail to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, or seek
monetary relief from a defendant who is immune from such relief.
See id. at 1915A(b)(1),(2). Pro se pleadings must be
liberally construed. See Balistreri v. Pacifica Police Dep't, 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir. 1990).
To state a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, a plaintiff must
allege two elements: (1) that a right secured by the Constitution
or laws of the United States was violated, and (2) that the
violation was committed by a person acting under the color of
state law. See West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 48 (1988).
The complaint is deficient in several respects and the
"affidavit" did not cure the many deficiencies in the complaint.
Hawkins must file an amended complaint that takes into
consideration the following information.
First, the retaliation claim appears deficient. An inmate suing
his jailers under § 1983 for retaliation must allege that he was
retaliated against for exercising his constitutional rights and
that the retaliatory action did not advance legitimate
penological goals, such as preserving institutional order and
discipline. See Pratt v. Rowland, 65 F.3d 802, 806 (9th Cir.
1995); Barnett v. Centoni, 31 F.3d 813, 816 (9th Cir. 1994). He
also must allege that the defendants' actions caused him some
injury. Resnick v. Hayes, 213 F.3d 443, 449 (9th Cir. 2000)
(holding that a retaliation claim is not actionable unless there
is an allegation of harm; the alleged harm may be a chilling
effect on the exercise of First Amendment rights). The complaint
appears to allege that retaliation was threatened but does not
allege that any retaliation actually occurred. In some cases, the
would-be retaliatory action is so insignificant that it does not
deter the exercise of First Amendment rights. Minor acts such as
"bad mouthing" and verbal threats sometimes cannot reasonably be
expected to deter protected speech and therefore do not violate a
plaintiff's First Amendment rights. See Coszalter v. City of
Salem, 320 F. 3d 968, 975-76 (9th Cir. 2003). Hawkins must amend
the claim to allege that he was subjected to retaliation if he
wishes to pursue the claim. If Hawkins claims that the mere
threat to retaliate was enough retaliation to chill his First
Amendment rights, he must so allege to attempt to show an injury
to him.
Second, Hawkins has not identified who allegedly threatened to
retaliate against him if he continued to file grievances. In his
amended complaint, Hawkins must identify the person who allegedly
threatened him. If he does not know the name of the person, he
may describe that person by using a Doe defendant designation to
refer to that defendant. (If he alleges that multiple unknown people violated his constitutional rights, each unknown
person must be identified as a separate John Doe, e.g., John Doe
#1, John Doe #2, etc. so that eventually each John Doe defendant
can be replaced by a separate person when his or her true name
becomes known.) Although the use of Doe defendants is acceptable
to withstand dismissal of the complaint at the initial review
stage, using Doe defendants creates its own problem: those
persons cannot be served with process in this action until they
are identified by their real names. Hawkins must promptly take
steps to discover the names of the unnamed defendants and provide
that information to the court in an amendment to his pleading no
later than January 6, 2006; any unnamed or Doe defendants whose
true name and correct address have not been provided by that
deadline will be dismissed from this action. The burden remains
on the plaintiff; the court will not undertake to investigate the
names and identities of unnamed defendants and will not appoint
an investigator to aid the plaintiff.
Third, the requirement that Hawkins identify the allegedly
responsible parties is not limited to the retaliation claim. For
every claim, Hawkins must identify the defendants who he proposes
to hold liable on that claim and must allege what each person did
or failed to do to cause a violation of one or more of his
constitutional rights. A plaintiff cannot lump together a number
of unidentifiable persons as a group defendant. Allegations that
unidentified members of a jail's staff acted inappropriately are
insufficient to hold any particular person liable. See Leer v.
Murphy, 844 F.2d 628, 634 (9th Cir. 1988) (liability may be
imposed on individual defendant under § 1983 only if plaintiff
can show that defendant proximately caused deprivation of
federally protected right).
Fourth, it appears that Hawkins may be attempting to claim a
violation of his constitutional right of access to the courts.
See Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 350-51 (1996). To establish
a claim for any violation of the right of access to the courts,
the inmate must show that there was an inadequacy in the jail's
legal access program that caused him an actual injury. See
id. at 351. To prove an actual injury, the inmate must show
that the inadequacy hindered him in presenting a non-frivolous
claim concerning his conviction or conditions of confinement.
See id. at 355. Examples of impermissible hindrances include:
an inmate whose complaint was dismissed for failure to satisfy some technical requirement which, because of
deficiencies in the jail's legal assistance facilities, he could
not have known; and an inmate who had "suffered arguably
actionable harm" that he wished to bring to the attention of the
court, but was so stymied by the inadequacies of the library that
he was unable even to file a complaint. See id. at 351. Mere
delay in filing papers would not be enough, for example, if they
were nevertheless timely filed or accepted and considered by the
court. See Hudson v. Robinson, 678 F.2d 462, 466 (3d Cir.
1982). Hawkins has not identified any actual injury as he must to
state a claim for a violation of his constitutional right of
access to the court.
Fifth, Hawkins' allegation that there was an interference with
attorney-client communications suggests that the claim may relate
a to criminal action pending against him. Hawkins is cautioned
that this court will not interfere with a state criminal case
pending against him. Under principles of comity and federalism, a
federal court should not interfere with ongoing state criminal
proceedings by granting injunctive or declaratory relief absent
extraordinary circumstances. See Younger v. Harris,
401 U.S. 37, 43-54 (1971); Samuels v. Mackell, 401 U.S. 66, 68-74
(1971). There are no extraordinary circumstances alleged here.
Furthermore, to the extent any claim would call into question any
conviction that he suffered (e.g., a claim that he was denied a
fair trial because he could not communicate with his attorney),
the claim likely could not proceed in a civil rights action under
the Heck rule. The case of Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477
(1994), held that a plaintiff cannot bring a civil rights action
for damages for a wrongful conviction unless that conviction
already has been determined to be wrongful. See id. at
486-87. A conviction may be determined to be wrongful by, for
example, being reversed on appeal or being set aside when a state
or federal court issues a writ of habeas corpus. See id. The
Heck rule also prevents a person from bringing an action that
even if it does not directly challenge the conviction would
imply that the conviction was invalid. The practical importance
of this rule is that plaintiffs cannot attack their convictions
in a civil rights action for damages; the conviction must have
been successfully attacked before the civil rights action for
damages is filed. Hawkins' complaint is so poorly pled that the
court cannot determine whether Heck actually bars any of his
claims, but he should bear the Heck rule in mind as he prepares
his amended complaint. Sixth, Hawkins is no longer at Marin County Jail and now is at
San Mateo County Jail. His requests for injunctive relief against
the jailers in Marin therefore appear to be moot because he has
been moved to another jail and there is no reasonable expectation
nor demonstrated probability that he will again be subjected to
the jail conditions as to which he seeks injunctive relief. See
Dilley v. Gunn, 64 F.3d 1365, 1368-69 (9th Cir. 1995); Darring
v. Kincheloe, 783 F.2d 874, 876-77 (9th Cir. 1986).
Seventh, Hawkins listed as a defendant a "chief of police," but
did not identify the municipality in which the person was the
police chief. If he contends the police chief of some city or
other municipality violated his rights, he has to identify the
city or municipality for which the person works. Service of
process could not be done as to someone identified only as a
"chief of police."
Eighth, pleading municipal liability must be done with great
care and with attention to these rules. A municipality can be a
"person" subject to liability under § 1983 when its official
policy or customs causes a constitutional tort, but a
municipality has no vicarious liability for the unconstitutional
acts of its employees under the theory of respondeat superior.
See Monell v. Dep't of Social Servs., 436 U.S. 658, 690
(1978); see Plumeau v. School Dist. #40 County of Yamhill,
130 F.3d 432, 438 (9th Cir. 1997) (to establish municipal
liability based on an official policy or custom, plaintiff must
show: (1) that he possessed a constitutional right of which he
was deprived; (2) that the municipality had a policy; (3) that
this policy amounts to deliberate indifference to the plaintiff's
constitutional rights; and (4) that the policy is the moving
force behind the constitutional violation). A municipality also
may be liable for constitutional violations from its failure to
supervise, monitor or train, but only where that failure amounts
to deliberate indifference to the rights of persons with whom the
municipality's employees come into contact. See Canton v.
Harris, 489 U.S. 378, 388 (1989). B. The "Affidavit"
As noted earlier, Hawkins filed a document called an
"affidavit." The caption of it suggests he wants discovery and
appointment of counsel. Neither request will be granted.
The court will not order any particular discovery. The court
generally is not involved in the discovery process and only
becomes involved when there is a dispute between the parties
about discovery responses. Discovery requests and responses
normally are exchanged between the parties without any copy sent
to the court, and the parties may agree to extensions of
deadlines without need for a court order. See Fed.R.Civ.P.
5(d) (listing discovery requests and responses that "must not" be
filed with the court until they are used in the proceeding or the
court orders otherwise). Only when the parties have a discovery
dispute that they cannot resolve among themselves should the
parties even consider asking the court to intervene in the
discovery process. The court does not have enough time or
resources to oversee all discovery, and therefore requires that
the parties present to it only their very specific disagreements.
And to promote the goal of addressing only very specific
disagreements (rather than becoming an overseer of all
discovery), the court requires that the parties meet and confer
to try to resolve their disagreements before seeking court
intervention. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 37(a)(2)(B); N.D. Cal. Local
Rule 37. Hawkins' request that the court order defendants to
produce all its files on plaintiff is premature. He must serve a
proper discovery request, receive no answer or an unsatisfactory
answer to the request, and meet and confer with defense counsel
before filing any motion to compel. Because one of the parties is
an inmate, the court does not require in-person meetings; rather,
the inmate and defense counsel can meet and confer by telephone
or exchange of letters, but must engage in a good faith effort to
meet and confer before seeking court intervention in any
discovery dispute.
The "affidavit" also indicates that Hawkins wants the court to
appoint counsel to represent Hawkins in this action. A district
court has the discretion under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1) to
designate counsel to represent an indigent civil litigant in
exceptional circumstances. See Wilborn v. Escalderon,
789 F.2d 1328, 1331 (9th Cir. 1986). This requires an evaluation of
both the likelihood of success on the merits and the ability of
the plaintiff to articulate his claims pro se in light of the
complexity of the legal issues involved. See id. Neither of
these factors is dispositive and both must be viewed together before deciding on a
request for counsel under section 1915(e)(1). Here, exceptional
circumstances requiring the appointment of counsel are not
evident. Based on the record before it, the court is not able to
determine that there is a likelihood of success on the merits and
the complaint does not raise difficult legal claims. The request
for appointment of counsel is denied.
The complaint is DISMISSED with leave to amend. The amended
complaint must be filed no later than November 11, 2005. The
amended complaint must include the caption and civil case number
used in this order and the words AMENDED COMPLAINT on the first
page. Plaintiff is cautioned that his amended complaint must be a
complete statement of his claims and will supersede existing
pleadings. See London v. Coopers & Lybrand, 644 F.2d 811, 814
(9th Cir. 1981) ("a plaintiff waives all causes of action alleged
in the original complaint which are not alleged in the amended
complaint.") Failure to file the amended complaint by the
deadline will result in the dismissal of the action.
Hawkins is responsible for prosecuting this case. He must
promptly keep the court informed of any change of address and
must comply with the court's orders in a timely fashion. Failure
to do so may result in the dismissal of this action for failure
to prosecute pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(b).
It is not sufficient for Hawkins to file a notice of change of
address in another court: he must file a notice of change of
address in this court and must file one in every pending case
every time he is moved to a new institution.
Hawkins is cautioned that he must include the case name and
case number for this case on any document he submits to this
court for consideration in this case.

Superb Lip Balm
Burt's Bees is well known for their lip balms and I do get why. It leaves your lips hydrated and moisturized - and not the oily kind of feeling. The tingly feeling (because of the peppermint oil) is not bothering at all but rather soothing. I believe that this lip balm is an amazing product, taking into account the quality and the value for money.

Best Lip Balm Ever Made!
First, I'd like to point out that this product has a very strong peppermint tingle that you will instantly feel but it's long lasting, doesn't leave that wet/greasy feel on the lips, and keeps my lips nice and moisturized.

Love it!
A simple, no-frills lip balm that does its job well. Unlike other lip balms I've been using previously, this one doesn't cause dead skin to form on my lips. It leaves my lips feeling soft with a refreshing and natural peppermint scent!

In news that you certainly wouldn't expect on a Monday morning, 54 year old former heavyweight champion of the world Frank Bruno has revealed that he is making a return to the boxing ring. ________________________________________________________________________________ Speaking in a television appearance on the popular UK program This Morning, Bruno revealed the startling news this morning (no pun intended), saying to the presenters:…
Jonathan Guzman Continues His Devastating Knockout Streak (21-0-21KO)
Undefeated knockout artist Jonathan Guzman (21-0, 21 KOs) continuing his hot streak in a 12-round super bantamweight title eliminator against Mexico's Daniel Rosas (20-3, 12 KOs) last night in Atlantic City.
Guzman, an unbeaten fighter out of the Dominican Republic and now training in Massachusetts, stabilized early and easily controlled the action in the second half of the fight. Guzman said:
"I used a lot of concentration early and let him make errors so I could see what he was planning to do. Once I saw the mistakes he was making I let my hands go."
Rosas was stunned in the third round, but Guzman was unable to close on a wobbled Rosas. In the fifth round, Guzman landed a left that knocked Rosas back and followed it with another, dropping Rosas just before the bell.
Guzman added:
"I wanted to let him throw some punches early. It helped me gain confidence and learn his tendencies. I saw him dropping that right hand, and I knew it would open up the opportunity for me to land my left."
Rounds six and seven saw Rosas take a pummeling, but miraculously stay on his feet. At the end of the eighth frame, Guzman dropped Rosas for a second time, and again Rosas was saved by the bell.
However, referee Benjy Esteves had seen enough and stopped the fight following the close of round eight. When asked about the stoppage, Rosas said:
"The Ref stopped the fight. I thought the fight should have continued, but he decided to stop it. He (Guzman) knocked me down, but I kept on fighting. I was never hurt. Guzman is a strong fighter, but I felt I could have continued and come back in the rest of the rounds."

filed: May 20, 1987.
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIAv.JUAN ADAME, APPELLANT
Appeal from the Order of the Court of Common Pleas, Civil Division, of Allegheny County at No. SA No. 1061-85.
Melaine S. Rothey, Assistant Public Defender, Pittsburgh, for appellant.
Robert L. Eberhardt, Deputy District Attorney, Pittsburgh, for Com., appellee.
Cavanaugh, Popovich and Montgomery, JJ. Montgomery, J., concurs in the result.
[ 363 Pa. Super. Page 407]
This is an appeal from the order of the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County finding the appellant, Juan Adame, guilty of the summary offense of obstructing public passage (18 Pa.C.S. § 5507) and imposing a sentence of ten (10) days imprisonment and a three-hundred dollar ($300.00) fine plus costs. We reverse.
The facts reveal that on the 4th day of June, 1985, at approximately 10:50 p.m., Glassport police officer Val Uziel was on duty and observed at least ten (10) youngsters (age twelve to sixteen) and the appellant congregating on the sidewalk in front of a business establishment (Open Pantry) situated at the busiest intersection in town. Open Pantry had previously requested the police to keep the area in front of its establishment clear and to remove anybody gathering there because this interfered with its business. Since it is patronized by mostly older people, they refuse, in the words of the officer, to go into the establishment when they see a "gang of kids" there, as was the case on the evening in question.
The officer told the appellant on four separate occasions that evening to leave. In fact, the third time the officer recalls stating:
We told him what he is doing wrong. We told him to move on, he is obstructing the public passages and also he is interfering with this place of business.
Nonetheless, albeit the youngsters would leave at the officer's direction, the appellant would remain and, "by his actions", would prompt the gathering of another group "to find out what he [was] yelling about." By the officer's fourth request, the appellant's refusal to remove himself from the premises resulted in his being cited for obstructing public passages.
After all of the evidence was presented, the de novo bench trial came to a close. The next day, i.e., April 29,
[ 363 Pa. Super. Page 4081986]
, an order was entered finding the appellant guilty as charged and imposing sentence. Attached to the order was a one page document advising the appellant of his post-verdict rights pursuant to Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure 1123 and 1410.*fn1 This appeal followed.
The sole issue raised for our consideration concerns the legality of the sentence. However, the merits of the contention will have to be postponed given the procedural irregularities which plague this case and, as a result, necessitate a remand.
First, it cannot be denied that the general post-verdict rules are applicable to summary cases appealed de novo to the Court of Common Pleas. See Commonwealth v. Pringle, 304 Pa. Super. 67, 450 A.2d 103 (1982); Commonwealth v. Koch, 288 Pa. Super. 290, 431 A.2d 1052 (1981). Adherence to such rules seems to have been ignored in the case at bar.
For example, we note the following failings of the trial court in the post-verdict area; to-wit:
[ 363 Pa. Super. Page 4091]
) Failure to impose sentence in open court (see 42 Pa.C.S. § 9752 and Pa.R.Crim.P. 1405(a));
2) No record was made of the proceeding (see 42 Pa.C.S. § 9759);
3) Failure to provide the appellant with his right of allocution (see Commonwealth v. Knighton, 490 Pa. 16, 415 A.2d 9 (1980); Commonwealth v. Brown, 342 Pa. Super. 249, 492 A.2d 745 (1985) (en banc) (Opinion in Support of Reversal by POPOVICH, J., joined by SPAETH, P.J., BROSKY, J., and WICKERSHAM, J.));
4) Failure to state on the record the reasons for the sentence imposed (see Commonwealth v. Mullen, 321 Pa. Super. 19, 467 A.2d 871 (1983) (en banc); 42 Pa.C.S. § 9721(b); Pa.R.Crim.P. 1405(b));
5) Failure to articulate the amount of the fine, its due date and inquire as to the appellant's financial ability to pay*fn2 (see 42 Pa.C.S. §§ 9758(a), 9726(d) and Pa.R.Crim.P. 1407); and
6) Failure to advise the appellant of his post-verdict rights (see Pa.R.Crim.P. 1405(c)).
Moreover, the type of "mail-order-verdict/sentence" issued by the court below is at odds with those stated principles so cherished in our judicial system, i.e., to have hearings, proceedings, sentencings and trials conducted in an open forum and of record. These precepts are lacking as to the manner and method in which the verdict and sentence were issued. See Commonwealth v. Ragoli, 362 Pa. Super. 390, 524 A.2d 933 (1987) (Opinion by POPOVICH, J., with
[ 363 Pa. Super. Page 410]
MONTGOMERY, J. Concurring in Result and BROSKY, J. Dissenting).
The error is especially glaring in regard to the circumstances surrounding the entry of the sentence. Not only was the appellant not present during the imposition of sentence, given the mail-order nature of the transmission, but the court below neglected to state of record its reasons for issuance of the sentence. See Mullen, supra. Thus, we are hampered in our efforts to assess the merits of the appellant's illegality of sentence argument, a subject which has not been waived for the appellant's failure to submit a modification of sentence motion within ten (10) days of imposition since the subject was not broached in open court. See Ragoli, supra; Rule 1405.
Thus, in light of the procedural shortcomings of this case, we do what we did in Ragoli and reverse the order of the trial court imposing sentence and "remand with directions that the trial court enter a finding of guilty or not guilty in accordance with accepted practice in this Commonwealth, and, if the verdict is guilty, to impose sentence as more fully detailed in the . . . [ Ragoli ] opinion. Jurisdiction is not retained by this Court." Id. 362 Pa. Super. at 403, 524 A.2d at 939.

Editorial Reviews
"In my opinion, this book's readability is its greatest strength because here it comes closest to serving his purpose: to stimulate readers to seek wisdom and thereby assist them in shaping not only their personal lives but society." (Studies in Religion, 1 September 2013)
"Thus far, the volume is of general interest, but there follows two more specialist chapters which cover academic teaching, curriculum shaping and funding and then the process of learning to be a theologian." (Evangelical Quarterly, 3 July 2012)
"This thoughtful and encouraging book forms part of a new series addressing contemporary debates and controversies in the humanities and social sciences . . . The book deserves to be read prayerfully and I hope it will find its way into the hands of those training for ministry as well as parish clergy and congregationalleaders." (Religion & Theology, 1 August 2012)
"Ford's central achievement, then, is his insistence on a model of theology that bears witness to the unity, diversity, and vibrancy of twenty-first century Christianity." (The Furrow, 1 September 2012)"The Future of Christian Theology is a book which is at once as bold and exciting as it is sensitive and wise. . . The book marks the very best of what that series might provide: written in exceptionally clear and accessible prose, it is nevertheless profound and deep. . . I cannot imagine any theologian or church person who would not find the reading of this book a beneficial enterprise. It is a must for all who care about the health of theology, the Church and - even more broadly - the world of which they are a part." (Theology, 1 November 2011)
"This book represents a mature summary of his academic and institutional vision." (Church Times, 23 September 2011)
"Ford writes exegesis that does more than illustrate; it leads . . . It's really, really good . . . Few theologians writing today are better positioned to see where theology needs to stay the same and where it needs to change for a new century." (The Christian Century, 18 April 2011)
"He also writes beautifully in a book that sparkles with insights and that is attentive to the diversity of settings and media in which theology is articulated. This work is eloquent, fluent and vibrant; it draws upon deep scholarship, carried lightly; it moves along at a brisk pace with an exhilarating tone, one that appreciates the rich variety within Christianity and it combines a serious concern for Christian integrity with a generous inclusivity towards and a desire to collaborate with and learn from people of other faiths." (Theological Book Review, 2011)
"The Future of Christian Theology by Prof David Ford of Cambridge (Wiley-Blackwell, £50) is another feast of good things: a book to widen horizons and deepen spirituality . . .So, two splendid books to feed minds and hearts." (Methodist Recorder, 21 July 2011)
"In the meantime, Ford's timely, stylish and passionate manifesto gives theologians plenty of work to be getting on with." (The Tablet, 23 April 2011)

This recording is remarkable in that while Abbado, and the wonderful London Symphony Orchestra's players, are playing mostly atonal music that can seem downright strange, dissonant, and strident, especially to ears that are not used to Berg, they have no trouble conveying the beauty, lusciousness, and excitement of much of this music. This is particularly true in the beginning and end of the "Lulu Suite," the final movement ("Marsch") of Berg's "Three Pieces for Orchestra," and the final selection of the five "Altenberg" lieder.
Since his stormy debut with The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, conductor Daniele Gatti has been a regular guest at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, where he has established a fruitful working relationship. On this CD, he conducts the orchestra in two key works by Alban Berg - his early 'Three Orchestral Pieces' in combination with the suite from his unfinished opera 'Lulu', his swan-song. Both pieces - conducted from memory during the concert performances - receive ominous and atmospheric readings from Maestro Gatti.
Excellent value box containing all of Berg's major works. The best performance is maybe Abbado's of Wozzeck. This is a live recording and sounds like it;very exciting orchestral playing that sometimes almost drowns out the voices . I dont think this is a problem as it kind of fits with opera's theme of helpless people up against forces they cant control etc. The Boulez recording of Lulu is also very good but here the lack of libretto in the package is a bit annoying as the opera has a very elaborate plot and the synopsis provided isnt really detailed enough to follow what's going on.
All three of Brahms' string quartets appear in this 2-CD set, along with his piano quintet, recorded live at the Vienna Konzerthaus, where Elisabeth Leonskaja joined the members of the Alban Berg Quartett. The ensemble's name honours the continuity and vigour of Vienna's long musical tradition, which reached one of its Romantic highpoints with these chamber masterworks, composed in the 1860s and 1870s.

I really enjoyed the book Trigger Mortis , so here I have put my own idea for who I think should play who if it was a genuine 1960s Sean Connery era Bond film. I'm having trouble for Logan Fairfax, the Kellers, Agent 279, Luther and Danny Slater though. I will ask for suggestions please. Hope you like this. I have included loads of 1960s tv and film actors and actresses.Read more >

Ruminations of alchemy, animations, and death
The Alchemy implementation is complete. Bug testing has revealed some issues that will surely get resolved soon.
Zini is also working on the "Death" branch. There was a bug where everything/everyone was insta-killed. That is no longer a problem, but there are more to be fixed.
The newly finished quick travel services in the "Travel Dialogue" branch is being refactored by Gus.
Pvdk continues working on our launcher with the support for profiles now back!
Greye is working in the "Storedevel" branch on lower level structures of the engine, rather than on user visible features ─ but that doesn't make it unimportant. In fact quite opposite: without it we would be screwed in many ways.
Chris is digging around in the animations. The number of commits increases, the number of issues decreases but the goal of fully implemented animations is still far away…
The OpenMW engine is so big and interrelated that every feature requires quite a lot of work…
Eli2 as usual continues to work on the editor. Stopgap json serializer has been replaced with the qt variant. There was also Qt5 experiment ─ not very important from practical point of view but some of you may be interested that "It works".
I had unexpected computer problems last week and I'm trying to make this post cover two weeks…
Scrawl finished work on the spell creation feature. Thanks to his good program planning at least part of the spell creation code can be reused for the enchanting feature.
gus worked on the traveling feature. He made a GUI which displays prices and you can now travel between places.
pvdk altered the launcher's data files tab. It uses a new model, but we unfortunately don't yet have support for multiple esx files in the engine!
Cory Cohen is working on the ESMTool. It displays human readable labels and it also provides record dumping with more details.
Greye made minor changes to the ESMStore. It nows allows storing additional records not loaded from esm/p files, but created in game, with the ability to modify these records. One situation where this is needed is during character creation, where the player decides his/her character's race.
Zini fought/is fighting with non-standard GCC extensions. He also enabled C++11 mode for compiler flags, but at the moment it's nothing more than an interesting detail. Standard coding for OpenMW is still the de facto of C++03. When C++11 is supported by the main compilers, then we'll add support for it. This means the earliest we'll see C++11 in OpenMW is the second half of 2013.
Did you notice the tag cloud on the right? Scrawl, zini and the rest of the development team are now not only programmers, but also tags! Funny!
If you did not visit our forum recently you could miss new theme. It's done by jedd and necrod, looks very nice and integrates with wordpress theme. This is not everything, lgro — our admin installed a brand new anti-spam plugin that should reduce the daily cleaning for admins and moderators — it seems to work good.
We have also quite a lot of programming progress. Scrawl added skill gain for training books and also started to work on video playback feature so maybe finally you will be able to see the intro movie as well as create spells since scrawl also works on it. In addition, as usual some bug fixing, most visible for global map not updating when it's pinned.
gus started to work on fast travel service: silt striders, boats and guild guides will be finally able to take you to the other towns. It seems that guild guides works just as silt striders and the only difference is that mages are located in interiors and will take you to the other interior so game is not able to calculate distance and in this case it just assumes that travel will cost 10 gold and be instant.
drpaneas (a new developer) started to work on his first task that is implementing a failed action. It's quite important!
Mark76 showed up on the forums recently. Nothing has changed for the multiple esm and esp support but zini thinks about splitting it so it won't be so overwhelming.
Zini on his own works on proper alchemy implementation. Needless to say current solution was nothing else then a prototype and was never intended to go into the 1.0 so it was just too strongly tied to the GUI and was just not planned properly. This is about to change.
greye is working on the old task of record saving. It's very important task for both game and the editor.
Hi all.
We're celebrating an anniversary on the site. It was exactly one year ago today, that we moved to our current forums. The forum migration involved moving all the archives from google cache and amazon to the new forum "archive section", but we had no choice. Thanks go to Lgro, our website admin! You gave OpenMW something essential to its current progress. The old website and forum had been left without any administrator, were invaded by spam bots and suffering from frequent periods of down time. In fact, we still can't close the old forum properly; it's still out there somewhere, dark and gloomy. Like the inside of a dead snail's shell… or the city of Moria. Readers, if you decide to go looking in the old forums… remember not to dig too deep.
Despite the departure of the creator and lead developer of OpenMW, the remaining team members decided not to give up. They started this new website, the new forums, and reorganized the project. And here we are, in what will hopefully prove the most productive year yet for OpenMW. So raise some glasses, "To new life… to our phoenix! Santé! Mazel tov! Prost! Skål! Na zdorovie! Salud! And cheers!"
Speaking of new life, here's what's happened since we last talked:
Edmondo, the maintainer of OpenMW for gentoo, fixed a few recent problems that were preventing OpenMW from running on Gentoo (We are once again using submodules). Gentoo users can once again install OpenMW.
There's been progress on our editor, thanks to Eli2. Auto completion was added and filters can now be imported from files. Lgro also pushed some bugfixes and added support for different types of encoding.
_greye is halfway finished with the player control task (a rather large task composed of five sub tasks). He's got movement and turning working, but camera nodes still need to be completed. Right now _greye is working on fixing bugs related to objects crossing cell borders.
Corristo implemented the correct Ogre main loop for OS X, so Mac's enjoy the speed of the cursor being freed from the tyranny of FPS.
Gus is working on moving and creating objects.
Scrawl added the basic features of the main menu. It has Return, Options, and Exit buttons.
Jhooks1 got the new
capsule box shapes collision method working on creatures.
Zini is working on yet another refactoring task, this time in the mw-subsystem. Refactoring code helps make it more organized, readable, and even efficient.
We are merging all the finished 0.17.0 features and fixes into the main branch of the engine and beginning preparations for our next release. Though thin in terms of new gameplay features, 0.17.0 includes major changes under the hood. For instance, the Shiny shader library makes shader development easier by allowing the same shaders to be run regardless of a user's choice of the OpenGL or Direct3d rendering subsystems, graphics card, and OS. While, the new animations system that's now in place improves performance.
If you have been following OpenMW, then you know what a picture like this means.
Here's a link to the blog post the picture references that explains its meaning
We need a lot of testing this version. You can help out OpenMW by reporting bugs.
Another week — once again brings things that moves our project toward playability and full compatibility with Morrowind. It's true that we are once again progressing with nice speed.
Since animation task is closed both jhooks1 and Chris was left without a task, but happily not for long…
Jhooks1 currently returned to physics implementation — you probably noticed that collision with npc is flawed: It's very easy to get stuck and in general behavior is very different then in Morrowind. This is not surprising at all since the way collision with npc works is itself not like in Morrowind. To make story short: while player character has it's own collision capsule (sphere that replaces the actually body mesh for the collision) npc are still half baked and use the body mesh for physics. That's the source of problems.
Jhooks1 is now busy with enabling the collision capsule also for npcs. That should solve most (if not all) problems in this area.
Meanwhile Chris is researching the morrowind feature not actually present in the vanilla game but often used in mod enthusiasts content: Billboard nodes. Most of you seen only billboard trees that adds a lot of eye-candy to the game, especially when compared with plain flora — but yet, the billboard nodes itself are more universal. Currently it's hard to tell if this feature will be present in OpenMW any time soon since experiments didn't brought ultimate insight.
greye continues being awesome. Dropping related job is finished and this week He is actually working on two branches. First off He started (and made a nice progress with it) task of player control. That's a big road blocker for a few… sorry Did I wrote "a few"? For a countless other tasks and features that are yet to come!
gus is back! And He is programming again! I missed him a lot — He is a really friendly guy… and developing openmw makes him super cool.
gus works on Object_movement_creation branch to add new script instructions related to object movement and creations. In theory, objects should be able to cross cell borders. Although It's not tested, now we have script instructions to test it… effects will be known next week.
This branch attacks roadblocker at least as large as player control. We must finish it before adding another large features.
Eli2 works on editor. Not just this week, but now it's time to say that actually this is a really good job. Although a lot of it is actually mostly provisional It already looks pretty good: The filters are working, the list displays items. Personally I see the beginning of the editor I would like to work with: very simple approach, very minimal yet ergonomic design, more then just enough of planning.
We need the editor, sooner or later, and it would be better to have it sooner — before OpenMW 1.0.0 so We won't need to hold work on long awaited modding features in the game data format only because there is no editor to work on this format in the first place. Everybody would love to have multiple exteriors and other goodies, right?
Although our multiple esm and esp support is still in embryonic state mark76 helps to test it a little. After returning from India and sharing the experience about it. He created a few small test plugins to expose complications in the current implementation. It can take a long time before issues will be solved and this long awaited feature will debut in the release.
Zini decided to add a brand new options "–script-console" and "–script-run". The first one enables additional console only commands that are intended to test our engine (currently none) while –script-run allows to point a file containing script instruction that are about to be run on game start.
Sorcerer, a new developer that joined us recently works now on task of importing configuration from morrowind.ini to openmw.cfg file. The importer is functional right now and soon should be complete.
Scrawl does not work on OpenMW at the moment, but instead He focused on the shiny lib, supporting us this way. He implemented LOD material generator and although we are not going to use it before OpenMW 1.0.0 at some point it may become a really handy tool for us.

Jennifer Lawrence has scored a $20 million payday for Sony's "Passengers" opposite Chris Pratt, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
And while Lawrence's role is "somewhat secondary" to Pratt's, THR notes that his deal nabbed him $10 million upfront with the possibility for more money, if Universal's "Jurassic World" performs well at the box office.
It seems that the Sony hack proved to be a blessing in disguise for Lawrence after it was revealed that she and co-star Amy Adams were paid less than their male co-stars in "American Hustle." Armed with that information, the star's agents were said to have stood firm on her $20 million fee.
THR also notes that Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are each asking for $20 million to reprise their roles in the third installment of the "21 Jump Street" series, while Lawrence is getting the same payday on a film that's not part of a franchise.
The $20 million paycheck for "Passengers" would cement Lawrence among the ranks of stars, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Sandra Bullock, Matt Damon, Robert Downey Jr., Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie, whom the publication recently claimed regularly bring home $20 million-plus salaries.
Again, $20 million-plus salaries that are usually only attached to a franchise. While Downey earned $50 million for "The Avengers," an estimated $75 million for "Iron Man 3" and is rumored to score $40 million plus backend participation for "Captain America 3," THR explains he didn't receive salaries anywhere close to these numbers for a movie like "The Judge."
Meanwhile, Lawrence, 24, is said to have previously earned $500,000 for the first "Hunger Games" movie, later scoring a $10 million salary for "Catching Fire," after the first film brought in more than $680 million at the box office.

Creating an internal brand video is a big challenge. Representing a company in a way that makes its employees excited to be where they are every day... it requires an internal team that is able to offer good insight into what makes the company a great place to work, an eye behind the camera that can show us the wonder within the corporate walls, and a director that can bring the most out of the employees in front of the camera.
Luckily we had all of those things along with an animator that could sprinkle in a few touches of magic. All of these ingredients came together to create, what we consider to be, an internal video that will renew employees' excitement about where they work.
We hope that it gets everyone excited about Seagate.

HOBBS, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico man is facing charges after police say he walked into an unlocked home, stole car keys and stunned a resident who found him baking a potato and raking leaves.
Patrick Lynn Waits, 45, was arrested early Tuesday following a bizarre chain of events that confused residents of a Hobbs home, the Hobbs News-Sun reports (http://goo.gl/c3Bwsg).
A female resident awoke to noise in her kitchen, and found Waits allegedly wiping down a countertop and baking a potato in her microwave oven, police said. "She asked him what he was doing there, and he told her he was making a potato," according to a police report.
When told to leave, a criminal complaint says Waits walked outside and left his potato in the microwave.
The report said Waits then went outside to rake leaves in the front yard.
The female resident convinced Waits to stay by saying she wanted to pay him for his service, police said. The move was apparently a ploy to get Waits to stay long enough before authorities arrived, police said.
Waits was found stumbling while walking, and he slurred when he talked, officials said.
Waits was arrested on burglary and unlawful entry charges. He also faces several felony warrants for failure to appear in court.
It was not known if Waits had an attorney.

Ten banks sign up to SuperDerivatives
SuperDerivatives, the foreign exchange options pricing service, has scored a coup signing 10 German and Austrian banks to its system.
The new users include Bayerische Hypo-und Vereinsbank, BW-Bank, DZ Bank, Erste Bank, Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg, Helaba, Raiffesenlandesbank Noe-Wien, Raiffesenlandesbank Oberosterreich, Sal Oppenheim and M M Warburg & Co.
SuperDerivatives' success in the Austrian and German markets comes as banks and end users increase their focus on risk management of currency trading activities. Earlier this year National Australia Bank (NAB) revealed that rogue currency options-related trading had resulted in A$360m (€220m) worth of losses. NAB has yet to release the findings from an independent enquiry into what caused the losses, but firms like SuperDerivatives have seen renewed interest in their systems since the scandal emerged.
Daniel Kadim, director of sales for Germany and Austria at SuperDerivatives, said: "The enthusiasm we are seeing for the pricing system is incredible. We have numerous banks testing the platform and that is being translated quickly into firm deals."
SuperDerivatives' existing customer base includes some of the leading players in the foreign exchange markets including Citibank, JP Morgan Chase, Merrill Lynch and Société Générale, as well as the corporate treasury departments at technology companies IBM, Alcatel, Xerox and Ford, the motor company.

Hi Gang
I have what I consider to be a great new application that I'd like to submit to RIM
I've read their unsolicited ideas policy and I don't know where to turn
Can you suggest to me how I can get my idea evaluated
I've been working on this for 4 years (sold my house for the equity) so I believe in what I'm doing.
Thanks in advance

If you sold your house in the US a few years ago that only proves you are sane, not creative. LOL.
Generally of course you want to protect anything protectable- patents or copyright may be an option.
Secret or various entry barriers may depend upon specific novel component.
If you can come close on keywords, a patent search may give you some idea of competing products.

Woolly hair nevus is a rare disease whose diagnosis is challenging. We present a case of this condition presenting in a 27-year-old healthy male. We describe a histology pattern consisting in the presence of several terminal hair follicles ending in the same dilated follicular infundibulum, a perifollicular lymphocytic infiltrate and an excessive amount of normal apocrine glands in deep reticular dermis, some findings non-previously reported. Clinicopathological correlation is very important for making a correct diagnosis. Source

Background Spanish is the second-most common language spoken in the United States, and Spanish speakers represent one third of the aging population. The National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center's Uniform Data Set implemented a Spanish neuropsychological battery. Previous work described the neuropsychological performance for English speakers. Here we describe performance on the Spanish version.Methods Data from 276 Spanish speakers with normal cognition were summarized, with descriptive tables of performance on individual cognitive tests. Regression techniques were used to evaluate the effect of demographics on cognitive performance.Results Spanish speakers were younger (70.0 vs 74.0 years) and less educated (10.7 vs 15.7 years) with more females (76% vs 63% female) than the previously described English speakers. Higher education and lower age were associated with better performance.Conclusion This national cohort of well-characterized Spanish-speaking elders provides descriptive data on cognitive performance, an important tool for clinical and research efforts. © 2014 The Alzheimer's Association.

Acute menorrhagia is a common gynecological disorder. Prevalence is high among women with inherited bleeding disorders and recent guidance for optimal management is lacking. Following a comprehensive review of the literature, an international expert panel in obstetrics, gynecology and hematology reached consensus on recommendations regarding the management of acute menorrhagia in women without a diagnosed bleeding disorder, as well as in patients with von Willebrand disease, platelet function disorders and other rare hemostatic disorders. The causes and predictors of acute menorrhagia are discussed and special consideration is given for the treatment of women on anticoagulation therapy. This review and accompanying recommendations will provide guidance for healthcare practitioners in the emergency management of acute menorrhagia. © 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. Source

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and relative impairment in insulin secretion and its possible long term complications. Its pathogenesis is poorly understood, but both genetic and environmental factors, such as obesity and aging, play a key role. "Diabesity" is a new term which refers to diabetes occurring in the context of obesity. In this article, we will discuss the epidemiology and impact of diabetes and obesity and will also outline the components of the metabolic syndrome and the studies that demonstrate that screening and prevention are possible in an attempt to control this epidemic.

Efficiency and effectiveness of the use of an acenocoumarol pharmacogenetic dosing algorithm versus usual care in patients with venous thromboembolic disease initiating oral anticoagulation: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial

Background: Hemorrhagic events are frequent in patients on treatment with antivitamin-K oral anticoagulants due to their narrow therapeutic margin. Studies performed with acenocoumarol have shown the relationship between demographic, clinical and genotypic variants and the response to these drugs. Once the influence of these genetic and clinical factors on the dose of acenocoumarol needed to maintain a stable international normalized ratio (INR) has been demonstrated, new strategies need to be developed to predict the appropriate doses of this drug. Several pharmacogenetic algorithms have been developed for warfarin, but only three have been developed for acenocoumarol. After the development of a pharmacogenetic algorithm, the obvious next step is to demonstrate its effectiveness and utility by means of a randomized controlled trial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of an acenocoumarol dosing algorithm developed by our group which includes demographic, clinical and pharmacogenetic variables (VKORC1, CYP2C9, CYP4F2 and ApoE) in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE).Methods and design: This is a multicenter, single blind, randomized controlled clinical trial. The protocol has been approved by La Paz University Hospital Research Ethics Committee and by the Spanish Drug Agency. Two hundred and forty patients with VTE in which oral anticoagulant therapy is indicated will be included. Randomization (case/control 1:1) will be stratified by center. Acenocoumarol dose in the control group will be scheduled and adjusted following common clinical practice; in the experimental arm dosing will be following an individualized algorithm developed and validated by our group. Patients will be followed for three months. The main endpoints are: 1) Percentage of patients with INR within the therapeutic range on day seven after initiation of oral anticoagulant therapy; 2) Time from the start of oral anticoagulant treatment to achievement of a stable INR within the therapeutic range; 3) Number of INR determinations within the therapeutic range in the first six weeks of treatment.Discussion: To date, there are no clinical trials comparing pharmacogenetic acenocoumarol dosing algorithm versus routine clinical practice in VTE. Implementation of this pharmacogenetic algorithm in the clinical practice routine could reduce side effects and improve patient safety.Trial registration: Eudra CT.
