text: I agree, and need to get the bike up and check/tighten the head bearings. You'd think that with all the rain we've had I'd have plenty of time to do this, but graduate school + a change in my teaching assignment + additional professional changes = no friggin time. Summer vacation? What's that? There's definitely some wiggle from the front, but I clearly remember the mirrors on my old '95 doing exactly the same thing. Seem to recall some moto mag reviewers also saying the same. However, since you guys don't have this issie there must be a problem with my bike. On the other hand, Sorbothane sent me several different sheets of stuff to play with as mirror mount plates. This stuff is */very /*cool. Taxes? Hot damn, man we're taxed to death up here! And pot hole jumping is a local sport. A bit hard on the car's suspension, though. Anything that gets scraped off couldn't have been /*too*/ important... Computer, eh? Couldn't possibly be porn or file sharing. Kids never do any of that. And those are always such clean, reliable sites.

Since November, Singapore has hosted an additional 648 legs and 162 trunks for Elephant Parade. The "parade" features painted elephant statues that raise awareness for the conservation of Asian elephants. They will be sold at auction to benefit the Asian Elephant Foundation and the conservation fund of Wildlife Reserves Singapore.
If you've missed your chance to see the elephant statues, then visit the Botanic Gardens during the Elephant Parade Viewing Days from 8 – 11 January. Enjoy all 162 of these painted beauties in one location and make your pick for best-in-show.
Why not grab a snack for the trip out to Botanic Gardens? While elephants may like peanuts, we know that humans like gourmet popcorn! Stop by a Garrett Popcorn Shop® and treat yourself to CaramelCrisp™, CheeseCorn™ and Chicago Mix™. Your taste buds will thank you!

Since CUBRID 9.0, CUBRID supports SHOW CREATE TABLE statement. This command allows you to see all the table columns as well as all the constraints such as primary key or foreign key. Below you can see the SHOW CREATE TABLE result ran on the "game" table from demo database:
csql> show create table game; === <Result of SELECT Command in Line 1> === TABLE CREATE TABLE ============================================ 'game' 'CREATE TABLE game ( host_year INTEGER NOT NULL, event_code INTEGER NOT NULL, athlete_code INTEGER NOT NULL, stadium_code INTEGER NOT NULL, nation_code CHARACTER(3), medal CHARACTER(1), game_date DATE, CONSTRAINT pk_game_host_year_event_code_athlete_code PRIMARY KEY (host_year, event_code, athlete_code), CONSTRAINT fk_game_event_code FOREIGN KEY (event_code) REFERENCES event ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE RESTRICT, CONSTRAINT fk_game_athlete_code FOREIGN KEY (athlete_code) REFERENCES athlete ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE RESTRICT)' 1 row selected. Current transaction has been committed. 1 command(s) successfully processed.
From the above output, you can see that pk_game_host_year_event_code_athlete_code is a primary key on host_year, event_code and athlete_code fields, while fk_game_event_code and fk_game_athlete_code are foreign keys referencing the event_code field in event table and athlete_code in athlete table respectively.
Another approach that works regardless of CUBRID version is described in the following section. Use the command below.
SELECT * FROM db_index WHERE class_name = 'game' AND is_primary_key = 'YES';
There are 2 foreign keys: fk_game_athlete_code. To find the columns constrained by a given foreign (or primary) key, run the SHOW INDEX command and look for the Key_name that corresponds to the above index_name.
As you can see, the 2 constrained columns are athlete_code and event_code. Currently, there is no way to obtain the referenced table name in SQL apart from using "SHOW CREATE TABLE" statement.

Wind 101
Learn About the Wind Industry
Endurance Wind Power manufactures wind turbines for distributed wind applications.
What does "distributed wind" mean? This is when energy is produced where it is consumed, without the need for it to be transmitted long distances. Farming is one of the most common businesses of our customers. These customers harvest wind on their site, not only do they farm crops and livestock, they also farm the wind.
The term wind farm, however, is synonymous with utility scale wind turbines. Turbines that are much larger in size, and require energy to be transmitted from long distances to where it will eventually be consumed.

He's one of today's most successful American designers—and one of the most outgoing. Known to many as the sharp-witted judge on the Lifetime TV reality series Project Runway, now in its tenth year, Michael Kors is recognized for both his larger-than-life personality and his simple yet chic aesthetic.
"I'm always going to be all about finding ways to make you look more empowered and feel more confident, so it's all about the body," he says. "At the same time, I like glamour, but I also like comfort and ease. Those are the key ingredients that are always part of the Michael Kors stew."
Kors launched his line at age 19, in 1981, when there were few high-end American designers. Since then, the Council of Fashion Designers of America has honored him three times, most recently with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010. The vibrant designer opens up to PBI about his journey through the fashion industry.
Do you have personal ties to Palm Beach?
I'm very friendly with Aerin Lauder—Aerin and Jane and their mother, Jo Carole. I've known them a long time, and they have such strong ties to Palm Beach. The same thing with my friends Marjorie Gubelmann and Phoebe Gubelmann. Whenever I am in Palm Beach, it's fun to see all the generations, from babies to grand dames, all in one family. When Marjorie got married, her wedding was in Palm Beach, and it was such a Palm Beach mix—everything from caftans to a tuxedo.
How do your designs fit the Palm Beach lifestyle?
The nature of me as a person is the nature of me as a designer in that I love luxury, I love indulgence, but at the same time, I like to be barefoot, I like comfort, I like ease. That's always been how I design. My favorite places in the world are places that combine a sense of glamour and luxury with a laid-back, barefoot approach—kind of the best of both worlds. … I also think my clothes are very much designed for someone who loves to travel—how [would she] pack? And Palm Beach [is] filled with people who have a lot of points on their compass.
When you were launching your line in the 1980s, was Palm Beach a stop in your trunk shows?
Oh, definitely. Palm Beach is not often barefoot [laughs]. If it's barefoot, it's a gold flat sandal. There's this incredible opulence and glamour, but at the same time, someone's jumping on a bike and going to Publix and picking up a quart of ice cream. And I love that idea, that you can have this kind of American glamour. It's a small town with big-city sophistication.
What do you remember about the early years of your career—being on the road, doing trunk shows, building your name?
When I was in my early twenties, I kind of looked like Christopher Atkins in The Blue Lagoon. I had shoulder-length, curly blond hair and I was in torn-up jeans and basketball sneakers. But the clothes [I designed] were very sophisticated.
I grew up in New York, so I was more familiar with certain cities. But suddenly, when you got to travel, you got to see: Is there a difference between how you dress for dinner in Miami versus Naples versus Palm Beach versus Boca Raton? And there is a slight difference. You might wear the same top and the same pair of trousers, but are you wearing flat sandals in one place? Are you wearing stilettos in another? Are you wearing your hair in a ponytail in another? How would you do it? So I think that starting out like that, it really opened my eyes to how many variations there were in how my customers lived. And you really get to see the life of a city.
Your designs are very versatile. How did you develop a knack for that?
When I'm actually fitting the clothes, I'll say to the model, "Let's try it with a belt. Let's take the belt off. What does it look like if we throw a jacket on over that? Let's try it with trousers. Let's try it with a skirt. Can you wear it with flat shoes? Can you wear it with high heels?"
As a designer, I'm very empathetic with the customer. I know what it's like to be busy. I know what it's like to travel. And I want people to feel joy and excitement when they buy something new from me, but I also want them to be able to actually use it for a long time to come. …
That's one of the reasons why doing trunk shows for all these years has allowed me to hear what women think. In today's world, we get to do a trunk show on a regular basis in a strange way with social media. When I think about our Facebook fans or our Twitter followers, it's like I'm having a trunk show with a million and a half people [laughs]. But I like the feedback. It's what allows me to really key into it. I think some designers don't want to listen. They don't want to see, and they don't want to hear. I love [feedback]. It's the best thing.
Where do you usually find inspiration?
I'm constantly refreshed when I go to different places. For me, it can be anything from Big Sur, California to Bali. When I'm inspired by a place, I always try to think about how we take the mood or the spirit of that place and make it work for people's everyday lives so they never feel like they're in a costume.
So is it usually a place that inspires you?
It's often a place. It can be also, though, a film—an old one, a new one. It can be a television moment. It can be a piece of music. Fashion is the zeitgeist. How does it happen that Amy Winehouse hits the scene at the exact same time as Mad Men and Hairspray? And at the time, I did a collection that was kind of Amy Winehouse meets Mad Men. So it could be anything from a piece of music to a travel experience.
Do you remember most of the pieces you've designed?
I have a crazy memory for everything I've ever designed. Half the time, if I look at something, I can tell you what model wore it in a show, and sometimes I can even remember what music was playing when she came out. I have a good memory for some things and a terrible memory for others, but I've been doing this for so long, the clothes are very personal, so I remember them all.
How do you keep your designs fresh?
Fashion is this kind of living, breathing thing. The world continually is changing, and when the world changes, people's lives changes, so there are new fabrics developed. There are new rules. We never thought that people would wear sequins for day. We never thought people would wear sandals in the winter. We used to have an idea of, "That would be something that would be great for you to wear if you're 30, and that's something that you'd wear if you were over 50." Well, those rules are all changing. And they're always changing.
Keeping my finger on the pulse of what's next and what's new makes it, for me, exciting and interesting still. I'm not about a revolution each season, but I am about an evolution. So it's always going to evolve.
Sometimes when I design something, I think, "You'll never need another black dress. That's the only one, ever." And then of course six months later, I'm like, "Well … did you see this new fabric?" or, "Oh, it's really kind of fabulous with the slit," or, "Ooh, the bare back on this one"—so there's always going to be the evolution of the next one. It's just making sure you keep your eyes and your ears open to what's happening in the world and to what's happening in people's lives.
How would you describe your personal style?
I spend all my time thinking about everyone else, so the last thing I want to do is think about what I have to wear. So I want it simple and easy, and I like it clean and comfortable. So for me, it's generally going to be black and white. I can go anywhere in the world in a black jacket, a white jean, a pair of loafers and a black t-shirt.
You sound like a mom on the go.
Yeah. Well, I think maybe that's also one of the things that people would appreciate, that I do understand what life is like when you're busy.
If you weren't designing, what do you think you would be doing?
Well, I love the theater, and I've always been a theater fan. We go all the time. I don't think I'd be a great Broadway star, but maybe a great Broadway producer. Who knows? It could happen. Again, I love to travel, so I think theater is a way to travel without jumping on the plane.
What else do you like to do in your down time?
Again, if I can escape, I'm happy to escape to a beach or into nature in general, whether it's going out east—and believe it or not, yes, Michael Kors will get on a horse—or being able to catch up on reading a great biography on a beach. I like to get out of the city when I can.
One of your biggest accomplishments has to be winning the Lifetime Achievement Award. What did that mean to you?
Fashion's always about living ahead of the time, so I never really thought about, quite frankly, how long I had been designing. And in my mind, when I was in my 20s and designers won the Lifetime Achievement Award, I always thought they were, you know, 80 [laughs]. And so when I first heard that I won, my first reaction was, "But I'm too young." And then of course, the dust settled and I really was incredibly flattered.
We were entering our thirtieth year, and it made me think. It's a competitive game, the fashion game, and it sounds cliché to say, but it really is like the Academy Awards. When your competitive peers decide to acknowledge you, it's very gratifying. For me, it was almost the halfway point. It wasn't the crowning achievement.
What else would you like to achieve?
I think the biggest thing to achieve in fashion is to stay curious and to be ready for what's next. The world changes so frequently, and it's going to continue to change. What do I want to achieve? I want to achieve everlasting curiosity. Curiosity and energy. That keeps you going.
Project Runway just hit 10 seasons this year. That's a huge milestone.
A long one, yes. A long, television life, yes, absolutely.
What's it like to look back on the last 10 years?
Honestly, it's gone incredibly quickly. We've now had more seasons than I Love Lucy. … I have to liken Project Runway to fashion in general: It's always changing. There's always something new. And that's what keeps it interesting and makes it fun. I get to spend my time with smart, beautiful, stylish women like Heidi [Klum] and Nina [Garcia]. So if you're a guy who likes fabulous women, that's not a bad gig.
You always look so concentrated when a garment is coming down the runway. What's going through your mind?
When I look at clothes in Project Runway, I'm really trying to focus on the actual project at hand. How well did they actually listen and execute? I'm looking to see how things are made, how they're cut. Does the designer understand a woman's body? Did they make the right choices? It's a lot to absorb in a quick moment, so I'm very plugged in and concentrated when I'm watching it.
I'm sure the designers appreciate that.
Well, I feel that it's the least I would expect from anyone who's sitting in one of my shows.
Your remarks on the show are always so creative and memorable. How do you come up with them?
Honestly, I never think about it. I don't always look to be funny. I just go with my visceral gut reaction when I see something. And sometimes it's funny because I end up saying things that a lot of people are thinking anyway. Instead of the designer thinking that it's all about ruffles, [I say,] "Well, it looks like toilet paper." So I'm just honest. But at the same time, I know how much work they've put into it, so I'm always conscious of that and try to get them to do the best work they can do. That's my main objective.
Where do you get your sense of humor?
I grew up around people who were funny and they didn't know it [laughs]. I grew up with a cast of characters. I had a lot of aunts and uncles and my grandparents—it was like watching a [Frederico] Fellini movie. I was an only child and very observant, so I sat back and observed all this. To me, there's nothing better than a belly laugh that you can't stop.
What's the best advice you were ever given?
Before I started my own business, I designed for a store in New York called Lothar's that was across the street from Bergdorf's. And at the time, I thought I should go to work for a designer, because that's what everyone did. There was a designer named John Anthony who was very popular at the time, and he was a family friend. I went to go see him and showed him my work, and he looked at me and said, "You don't belong working for anybody but yourself. You really understand women, and you know what works for them. Just stay true to yourself. You'll always be successful if you just go with your gut."
Did you take his advice right away?
I got discovered shortly thereafter [laughs]. Dawn Mello was the fashion director at Bergdorf's at the time, and she saw the clothes and she contacted me. The next thing I knew, I was whipping up a collection and within a few months, the clothes were at Bergdorf's.
So what's next for you?
Oh my gosh. I think what's next for me is we continue to open our own retail stores all around the world. ... I've learned so much over the years doing trunk shows and personal appearances. The contact with my customer has always been a hallmark of who I am as a designer. Through opening these stores, it's like having multiple laboratories all around the world. We'll continue to open new stores in places that I as an American designer never dreamed of opening stores—everywhere from China to the Caribbean. That and staying energetic and curious, those are my key priorities.
What do you want your legacy to be?
Hopefully [the notion] that you can have it all. You can be glamorous, you can be sexy, you can be powerful and you can be comfortable at the same time.

Higuain's Chip 'Among The Best Ones' He's Scored
The Columbus Dispatch - August 15, 2013 01:35 PM
As a professional soccer player, Federico Higuain has scored his fair share of goals during an 11-year career. But when he looked back at the second goal he scored Saturday against New York, the Crew's captain put it in rare air.
"It must be among the best ones (I've scored)," he said today through an interpreter. "I scored a similar one in the past, but because of our need and the necessity to win and some of the other circumstances like how the game was playing out, it really has to be up there at the top."
With the Crew ahead 1-0 against the visiting Red Bulls, Higuain took in a pass from rookie midfielder Wil Trapp and sprinted ahead into open space along the right channel at Crew Stadium. With goalkeeper Luis Robles a few yards off the line, Higuain chipped the ball from outside the area and deftly found the back of the net to seal the game. The shot essentially froze Robles and helped the Crew snap a three-game losing streak.
After the game, Crew coach Robert Warzycha waxed poetic about the goal and said goals like that are "why we come to the stadium. That's why we're coaching and playing, because you're looking for goals like that."
The chip is up for MLS goal of the week voting (click here to vote) and Higuain, whose nickname is "Pipa," seems likely to be the first Crew player this season to win the honor. It was also featured on MLS' "Anatomy of a Goal" series on the league's official website, marking the first time the Crew has been on the scoring side of such a clip. You can view it by clicking here.
"It was a very smart move by Pipa," teammate Jairo Arrieta said through an interpreter. "He did what a player of his caliber does."
The goal was Higuain's second of the night, but his first was no picnic either. After the Crew was awarded a penalty kick in the 62nd minute, Higuain stood at the spot to face a familiar foe.
On May 4 in Crew Stadium, Robles saved Higuain's penalty kick attempt in the 72nd minute at the south end. The change in momentum helped spur the Red Bulls to a 1-0 win. Twenty-two days later, the two matched up again and Higuain blasted one past Robles in a 2-2 draw in New York.
When it came time to take his third attempt against Robles, Higuain admitted to some trepidation.
"I don't want to kick more PKs to that goalie because there's already been three this season," he said. "It makes you nervous. The third time, it's a mind game. It's very stressful going against the same keeper."
Why take it, then?
"Because it's my responsibility," he said. "The coach trusts me and my teammates trust me. It's an honor to be the one designated to take the PKs this year."
Higuain and Robles are the sixth pair to face each other for three penalty kicks in a single season in MLS history. The last two were Los Angeles' Landon Donovan and Chicago's Sean Johnson in 2010 and Donovan was successful on two of those attempts.
Of the six pairs, only two field players have buried all three of their chances: Chicago's Ante Razov against Colorado's Scott Garlick (2003) and D.C. United's Jaime Moreno against Chicago's Zach Thornton (2005).
Seven pairs of players have faced each other for four penalty kicks across entire careers. No kicker has taken four attempts against the same goalkeeper within the same season.

Dan,Although not recommended for safety reasons, I have disabled the interlock on the plastic cover so that I can add ingredients and play around with the dough while the fork is spinning.

Story "Grocery Store Cupid" by Southeast Professor Carlton Hughes to appear in new Chicken Soup for the Soul book
A story by Carlton W. Hughes has been chosen to appear in the publication: "Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Dating Game."
Hughes, a professor at Southeast Kentucky Community and Technical College, was informed recently that his work will appear in the popular Chicken Soup series and the book will be available for purchase at bookstores across the nation by the Christmas season. Hughes received the news of the selection of his story from D'ette Corona, assistant publisher of the book series. She informed the writer that only a small percentage of the submitted stories make it into print.
Hughes mentioned that he received inspiration and guidance for the his story from Tracy Crump, a freelance writer who has been published in numerous Chicken Soup books. "This past summer when I attended the Kentucky Christian Writers Conference I took part in a workshop taught by Ms. Crump. That's where I found out about the book and about the process of writing and submitting my work to Chicken Soup," he said.
The book series was created by motivational speakers Mark Victor Hansen and Jack Canfield. They remain as editors of the books along with Amy Newmark. Chicken soup books are published and distributed by the prominent publishing house of Simon and Shuster.
Hughes mentioned he had read several of the Chicken Soup books, including "Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul" and "Chicken Soup for the Father and Son Soul," which contained a story by his friend Ms. Crump. He said when he learned of a forthcoming book and its title "The Dating Game," he received word that stories were being accepted. He quickly set out to write the story. "I thought of the situation of how my wife and I met, so I decided to try my hand at putting that story to paper," he said. "Tracy proofed my story and gave me advice and then I submitted the story. I have learned that Chicken Soup receives thousands of submissions for each book, and one must go through two rounds of cuts. I kept receiving e-mails that I had made the cut and was encouraged, and last week I got the mail that I had made it into the book."
Hughes' story, "Grocery Store Cupid," details how his brother-in-law Jess, who, at the time worked at a grocery store in Cumberland, "fixed" him up with the woman, Kathy, who became his wife nearly 20 years ago.
A serious writer since his days as a junior high school student in Jenkins, Hughes credits his teacher, Robert Cox, now a professor at SKCTC, with inspiring him to write and to develop his talents. "He nurtured my talent and love for writing throughout high school and my first college English course," he said. "In college at Morehead State, I wrote for the student newspaper, and, in the early 1990s, I wrote a column for the Harlan Daily Enterprise. After a break in writing, I began taking the craft much more seriously when I became a Christian 15 years ago."
According to Hughes, through his writing he strives to "bring light and beauty to the world." He mentioned that Chicken Soup books are not considered Christian books. "However, their goal is to encourage and to inspire people. I do some writing for Christian ministry, but my works have also appeared in secular publications such as Kentucky Monthly."
Additionally, Hughes is on the planning committee and is a faculty member for the Kentucky Christian Writers' Conference. He has attended the Blue Ridge Christian Writers' Conference in Asheville, where he has won two awards for plays he wrote for his church. Several years ago, a story by Hughes was published in the book "Simple Little Words" published by Honor Books.
He has been on the faculty of SKCTC since 1990. He resides in Cumberland with his wife Kathy and their sons, Noah and Ethan.

Beatrice N. Meyers
PAYNESVILLE, Mich. -Beatrice N. Meyer was born in Paynesville, Mich. on Sept. 14, 1929, to parents Charles and Elizabeth Nurmi and passed away on Jan. 30, 2013.
In 1947, she graduated from Hancock High School and attended Michigan Technological University and received a bachelors degree in education at Michigan State University in 1952. After graduation she taught in Ferndale, Tapiola (Dolle) and Holt, Mich. After receiving her master's degree in guidance counseling, she went on to teach in school districts in Indianapolis, Ind., Billings, Mont. and Woodridge, Ill.
In 1953, she married David Meyers of Chassell. She is survived by her husband of 60 years; three children, D. Keith Meyers of Lawrence, Kan., Kirsten Olson of Lansing, Mich., and Kimberly (Arn) McIntyre of Rockford, Mich.; plus seven grandchildren, Rebecca, Amy and Erin Meyers, Aaron and Kayla Olson, and Raija and Keaton McIntyre.
Bea led an eventful life. To meet a local need after her children started school, she opened a private kindergarten in Downers Grove, Ill. for five years, before continuing her career in Woodridge School District from where she retired in 1988. While living in Downers Grove, she was involved with Finn Ladies of Chicago, Finnish American Club of Chicago and volunteered as a Girl Scout leader.
After retirement, she and Dave moved to Holiday, Fla. There she was active in the Finnish American Club of New Port Richey, Fla. She participated in the Scandinavian Club and their folk dancing group. She was an active bowler, loved to play golf and was very active in the League of Woman Voters and AAUW. She loved to travel the world with her husband and visit relatives and friends in Finland. Most of all, she enjoyed entertaining friends, family and grandchildren on Lake Shore Drive in Chassell. The coffee pot was always on.
In addition to her other activities, Beatrice served on the Finnish Council of Finlandia University and the board of Salolampi Foundation (Finnish Language Camp), Bemidji, Minn. for over thirty years. Her Finnish heritage was very important to her. The family asks that donations be made in her name to the organizations listed.
A memorial service will be held at the Finnish American Club at Madison & Delaware, NPR on Feb. 2, 2013, at 2 pm.

for those of you who appreciate the movie...i think that is both fine and dandy. i'm not trying to convert anyone who likes it into not liking it. but for me...no likey
i'm one of those guys who buys everything paul releases. albums...deluxe editions, if possible. cd singles with b sides. everything. but, i didn't buy that movie. because i would never watch it. truth be told...i don't have the album on cd either.
i can respect an opinion that differs from mine. its all good with me. but for arguments that suggest the movie is (at least) better than howard the duck, or anaconda...now thats funny. to say there are some real stinkers out there that are worse...is a marginal defense at best.
i will give it his...i did have a crush on tracy ullmann at the time.

When one introduces the topic of the ethics of meat eating, a debate about religion will often follow. Scriptural texts will be invoked either for or against the practice. In short order, the diets of the Buddha, Muhammad, or Jesus will be considered. Recently, the invocation of beloved environmental writers such as Aldo Leopold has joined references to the traditional sacred texts of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Leopold — famous for proposing the concept of "thinking like a mountain" — introduced the eco-centric view of a "land ethic."
The first-ever panel on Animals and Religion at the American Academy of Religion was held in 1994, consisting of Andrew Linzey, Catherine Keller, Paul Waldau, Jay McDaniels, and myself. While the points made by the panelists were theological, the discussions that followed ranged from the purpose of "canine" teeth in humans to the defense that eating meat is enjoyable.
An audience member suggested to the panel that "It's a dog-eat-dog world." Christian theologian Andrew Linzey responded, "Isn't that what Jesus came to change?" Paul Waldau pointed out that, in fact, it is not a dog-eat-dog world. Dogs rarely eat dogs.
The digressions that occur in such discussions — then and now — suggest that approaching the issue from the lens of religion or ethics can often become muddled and unfocused. But at least five approaches for addressing the issue of the consumption of animals arise when one studies religion:
1) Most religious traditions postulate a vegan beginning. In the religions that hold the Book of Genesis as a part of their scriptures, a vegan diet is pronounced as the appropriate food for human beings (Genesis 1:29); the much-contested "dominion" granted in Genesis 1:26 is dominion within a vegan world. Christopher Chapple suggests the possibility that one can trace religious ideas of the practice of nonviolence to an ancient renouncer tradition that later gave birth to Jainism and Buddhism and influenced aspects of Hinduism, including the classical yoga school. This is one of the reasons Rynn Berry calls Jainism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism the "four ahimsa-based 'vegetarian' religions." What do those beginnings suggest about our relationships with other created beings?
2) As mentioned above, some find it helpful to invoke what Jesus, the Buddha, or Muhammad ate. Recently, the question has shifted to "if they were alive in our time, what would they eat now? If they learned about the way animals live and die within factory farms, what would they do?" Would they agree with the winner of the recent New York Times competition that "most present-day meat production is an ecologically foolish and ethically wrong endeavor"?
3) What is the nature of creation and what is our place in it? Some religious traditions are seen as reinforcing human-centeredness because they appear to suggest that humans are the teleological fulfillment of creation. Are we removed from creation or embedded within it? If our relationship with creation is a religious issue, and since animals are a part of creation, is not our relationship with animals also a religious issue? Karen Davis suggests in response to Aldo Leopold that before she could think like a mountain, she wanted to know if that would include thinking like a chicken. In other words, we should not lose sight of the individuals within creation.
4) What are the effects of anthropormorphizing God? Does an anthropormophic God cause us to see animals as excluded from God's love or concern? Moreover, what is the effect of seeing humans as in God's image? Why is being in God's image often interpreted in view of power and manipulation and hegemony instead of compassion and mercy and emptying unconditional love? Do we anthropomorphize God out of properties that we are most likely to be using against others? We are most likely to assert the image of God when we are lording over others, and using our power. Acts of unconditional love, suspensions of judgment, mercy for the weak, kindness to animals, get associated with a picture of wishy washy ineffectualness and weakness — qualities often seen as undesirable.
5) How do we show compassion and who are our neighbors? Do animals fall within a religious call to be compassionate? Are animals our neighbors? While most religions might have what some call a "miminal treatment" ethics regarding how animals should be treated, recent writings argue for expanding that. In their Religious Vegetarianism, Kerry Walter and Lisa Portmess suggest, "Whatever the sacred and the holy are thought to be, the human slaughter of animals questions it, renders it paradoxical, demands reflection." In my own work, I have found the writings of Simone Weil illuminating. Weil writes that all our neighbor requires of us is to ask "What are you going through?" and to be willing to listen to the answer.
What are you going through chicken, cow, pig, lamb, fish? This may be a more profound and urgent question in the twenty-first century than ever before.
Carol J. Adams is the author of The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory, Woman-Battering, Prayers for Animals, and a four-book children's series of prayers for animals. In addition, she has edited and co-edited five anthologies, including Ecofeminism and the Sacred. She is working on a book on theology and animals and you can read more on her website.

Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer in the United States. If they haven't already done so, students all across our country are heading back to school this week. And for more than 270,000 of them, this school year will also be the start of a whole other adventure -- studying abroad!
If you want to understand another country and its culture, institutions, and languages, there's no substitute for living there, whether for a few weeks, a semester, a year, or longer. The friendships that these experiences foster are life-changing, and they form the basis of our country's international relationships for years to come. Students with that experience are more confident and better prepared to engage globally. Studying abroad also enriches the campuses and communities around you.
In short, study abroad expands your world: new insights, places, and people open up all kinds of new opportunities, at every level.
If you're interested in studying abroad, the State Department sponsors programs for almost any kind of student -- American and foreign, high school, undergraduate, post-graduate, and even teachers and scholars. If studying abroad isn't right for you, you can bring the world to you by hosting an exchange student.
For Americans interested in seeing the world, check with you school's study abroad offices to see what's offered and check out our Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program for funding opportunities. You can also consider applying for a Fulbright Scholarship, teaching English abroad, or spending an academic year overseas through the National Security Language Initiative for Youth or YES Abroad.
Foreign students should check out the EducationUSA advising network, an incredible online and in-person resource for accurate, up-to-date information about studying in the United States. Our advisors can help with guidance on everything from picking a school to getting a visa. You can find all of our international academic programs, like the Fulbright Program, the Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study Program, the Future Leaders Exchange, the Community College Initiative Program, and more on the Educational and Cultural Affairs website.
In the meantime, stay tuned for our celebration of International Education Week (IEW) From November 12-16, our website and Twitter hashtag will be open with Q&A, events announcements, and study abroad tips. We hope to hear from you -- or, better yet, to see you studying abroad soon!
Kristellys Z. in the United Kingdom writes:
This is a great post!! And a great resource as well for American students who haven't thought or are thinking about the idea of study abroad. When I was a student in Florida International University, I only wish I would've taken the opportunity to study abroad. It just wasn't anywhere near my periphery for an unknown reason!
Now I work in Scotland encourage Scottish students to study abroad and it seriously is a great and worthwhile cause (scotlandgoesglobal.co.uk). It will probably be one of the best experiences you'll have a student. I get to experience now through my husband as he's studying abroad here in Scotland... I get all the benefits (enhanced cultural awareness and employability, openness, so much learning!! and fun!).
I hope that when we go back to the States I can keep working on this issue! Thanks, Ann! Keep up the great work!!

Great article. For those Americans looking to get paid to work abroad after college, there are tens of thousands of Americans teaching English abroad every year in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. They all go through a short term TEFL Certifications course (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).

It's so important that students look for educational opportunities overseas - it only takes that one experience to plant the seed. Students come back more culturally sensitive and confident! My guess is they most likely become lifelong travelers as well. :)

'The Grey' Has Us Seeing Red
|Fremlin | cc by 2.0
There's no gray area when it comes to The Grey—this film has been rotten to wolves from the get-go.
Reneging on Their Word
Long before filming started, PETA met with a producer of The Grey and explained how animals used in movies often spend most of their time confined to chains or cages when they are not performing and may be beaten or deprived of food in order to force them to perform. The producers assured us that they would use only computer-generated imagery and animatronic wolves—but we've now learned that they reneged on their promise.
Eating Wolf Meat
Director Joe Carnage—oh, excuse me … Carnahan—ordered wolf carcasses flown in for the cast to eat so that the actors would "have a sense of the movie we were making." He bought the meat from a trapper, meaning that the wolves likely suffered horribly in traps before being killed.
Not surprisingly, Liam Neeson, no friend to animals, was game for eating wildlife.
The Big, Bad Wolf
A film that has the potential to scare more people than "Little Red Riding Hood," The Grey portrays these intelligent, family-oriented animals the same way in which Jaws portrays sharks. The writers paint a pack of wolves living in the Alaskan wilderness as bloodthirsty monsters, intent on killing every survivor of a plane crash by tearing each person limb from limb. Yet wolves aren't aggressive animals, and as Maggie Howell, the managing director of America's Wolf Conservation Center, says, "Wolves don't hunt humans—they actually shy away from them."
Don't just shy away—run away from The Grey.

Why do people freak out about eating a wolf, but eating a cow or chicken is fine?
I have a really big problem with this movie and not because they ate wolves, which is bad and hopefully not true. My issue is with the portrayal of wolves as such horrible man eating monsters. Wolves don't hunt men, men hunt wolves. Wolves run from man and rightly so. But what is this message to people, that all wolves are ravenous, evil killing machines, while they are so very not that. The popularity of this movie disturbs me. I stopped watching after I saw the completely unrealistic view put on wolves. When was the last time anyone heard of a wolf hunting and killing a humans? Anyway, I just needed to get that out, was really bugging me. thanks for listening
i usually would not agree with you guy but you are correct ilove wolves there the only animal i would not hunt for but i am a avid hunter and the only reason for that is bc i like the thrill of the hunt and the taste of wild game.
Loved the movie for what it is…a movie, pure entertainment. Does this make me hate wolves anymore than before? No, it's because I also watch Animal Planet, Nature, Discovery Channel and happen to love nature. Movies like this don't kill wolves, it's the people like you and who continue to prosper and expand the population which then leads to further expansion into the wilderness and so on….please stop with this non-sense. You're better off helping wolves by becoming a vegan…yes vegan, not vegetarian.
The movie, with wolves or not, mind you, was bad. A boring collection of uninteresting characters you dont give a dim during the movie. After a while, when i realized how unfair it was to wolves, i went to bed. This movie would only please someone really childish. And i completely agree is a disgusting portrayal of a whole species. Very irresponsible.
when i saw the movie, i just assumed that the wolf they skewed was not actually wolf. Im not saying its acceptable to promote trapping, i think its very cruel. But, as far as sending the wrong message, kids today didn't know it was real wolf until this article was written… And, trappers dont necessarily "trap", because you cant call them hunters… "hunter" is not a profession. the wolf carcass they ordered in was most likely stalking farm animals or herds of cattle, in which case needed to be killed because it complies with an agreement made between USDFW and ranchers. When one wolf isn't scared to kill cows or sheep and stay away from homes, neither will the rest of the pack it came from.

In short: Up hill start with some fast down hill and flat sections.In full: The other reviews have said it all before, get the hills out of the way in the first 2K then its down hill and back on the flat. Nice venue, good scenery and organization and a quality tech T. I was surprised at how quick the race is considering the hills. Will add it to my calenderDate of review: September 26, 2011
In short: Well organised & an entertaining courseIn full: Run was well marshalled & friendly. Tow path was a bit bumpy in places which didn't help with keeping your form with tired legs. Course not as challenging as I was expecting. The finish is downhill from the start so the toughish first 3k is easily forgotten by the rest of race being downhill or flat. Thank You Horsforth Harriers. Hope to do race again.Date of review: September 26, 2011
In short: Well organised, great t-shirt and nice raceDate of review: September 25, 2011

In short: Well-organised with a good mix of road and towpath.In full: Very well organised with plenty of encouraging marshals, very nice technical t-shirt and a surprisingly quick course.

Get the hills out of the way quickly and you know its downhill or flat for the run in. Marshalls were fab, never had so much smiling encouragement.

Lamb Osso Bucco with Rustic Lamb Demi-glace
- 4 pre-cut lamb osso bucco (from local butcher)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped into1/2-inch squares
- 2 ribs celery, roughly chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 medium yellow onions, roughly chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 garlic gloves, crushed
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 gallon lamb stock, recipe follows
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- For the Lamb Stock:
- 2 pounds lamb bones or 1 cup lamb base
- 1 large carrot, roughly chopped into large pieces
- 1 rib celery, roughly chopped into large pieces
- 1 large onion, roughly chopped into large pieces
- 2 gallons cold water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 bay leaves, optional
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
Season lamb osso bucco liberally with salt and pepper and set aside on a plate. In a heavy-bottomed roasting pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil on stove top. Carefully place the osso bucco in the hot roasting pan and sear all sides, until nicely browned. Once seared on all sides, remove from pan and set back onto plate. Using the same pot with the lamb drippings in the bottom, add carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. Saute for approximately 10 minutes using a wooden spoon to scrape the lamb drippings off the bottom of the pan and to caramelize the vegetables. Once caramelized, add tomato paste, coat the vegetables with the paste, and brown slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping the drippings off the bottom of pan using a wooden spoon. Reduce the wine by half and add the lamb stock and thyme. Season with salt and pepper. Place the seared osso bucco back into the pan. Change to high heat and once the stock starts to boil, put roasting pan into the oven. Cook the osso bucco for about 2 hours until it is fork tender, almost falling off the bone. You will want to turn the osso bucco every half hour so that it cooks evenly and does not burn on the bottom.
When finished, take the lamb out of the sauce and set aside. In a blender, blend the sauce until the vegetables are pureed. Place about a 1/4 cup of sauce into the bottom of each serving bowl, top with osso bucco and drizzle with a little more sauce. It is best served with roasted carrots, onions, and potatoes.
This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe, in the proportions indicated, and therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large roasting pan, roast lamb bones in the oven until dark brown. On a sheet tray, roast carrots, celery, and onion in the oven until browned as well. Place the bones and vegetables in a 4-gallon stock pot. Add 2 gallons cold water, salt and pepper, and bay leaves, if desired. Bring to a boil over high heat and then turn down to a simmer over medium-low heat. Simmer for 4 to 5 hours to get the best results.
If using lamb base, roast vegetables as explained above. In a 4-gallon stock pot, add 2 gallons water and whisk in lamb base. Add the roasted vegetables and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for approximately 1 hour.

I used to lend my graphic novels through the hats&books library but they moved to the Pavillion and they have now the books on open shelves. And I am so, so, so, so... tired of 'losing' things through different groups!!
So, I thought I could stay at the cafe next to my books collection and lend them for people to read there and then. In exchange, for my security they would have to leave with me a good identification and a valuable item during the loan (!). It sounds harsh but these books are expensive and you cannot get them at the library (the ones I have); they could develop wings...
Now, next thing is how and where to leave them. Our space is tiny. I checked and, as things stand I could put this old suitcase that I bought under one of our small tables, or just standing against the wall behind the armchair or so. What do you think? It is very possible that nobody wants to bother with such thing for just a bit of reading. But it could work out as well. Maybe I could just try for a month and see how it goes???
Any opinions??

Somehow, my years of writing about fashion on the Internet have made me simultaneously less sensitive to prices but more stingy with my fashion money. When you're lucky enough spend all day looking at the most covetable bags and shoes in the world, you become acutely aware that the next Next Big Thing is always right around the corner, and knowing that makes it difficult to justify committing money to anything other than the pieces that you just can't picture yourself living without. Somehow, Loeffler Randall has managed to pack its Spring 2013 collection with exactly those kinds of items.
I went on a mini shopping spree at LoefflerRandall.com at the end of last week, and two of the three pieces I ordered were from Loeffler Randall's perfectly printed collaboration with Tucker. (If you want to know about the other pair of shoes I picked up, check out TalkShoes.com.) The bags and shoes, in a black-based floral or black-and-white geometric print, are exactly the kind of thing you'd want to wear on a sunny spring or summer day. For the bold among us, the two prints also mix quite well. For my own wear, I picked up the Loeffler Randall Mini Rider and Loeffler Randall Odile Espadrille Sneakers, both in the floral print. (I love a black-based floral.) Check out the collection and prices in the slideshow below or skip straight to shopping via LoefflerRandall.com.

Five mensches and a menorah, 1987
The Columbus Dispatch - December 11, 2012 12:04 PM
This photo was taken on the west lawn of the Statehouse twenty five years ago. It was the third night of Hanukkah and the five men standing at the front of the platform are all local Rabbis. From left to right they are: David Stavsky, Hirsh M. Chinn, Chaim Hisiger, Henoch Millen and Chaim Capland.
Rabbi Capland was given permission to place the twelve foot menorah in Capitol Square, where it stood for the first four nights of Hanukkah. Due to complaints from the Anti-Defamation League and the American Civil Liberties Union, the display was taken down early at the direction of the Ohio Department of Administrative Services. It was moved to the front of Martin's, a kosher food market in Whitehall, which is now a Kroger.
Tonight is the fourth night of Hanukkah and while the Statehouse is not getting into the spirit this year, Easton Town Center has a thirteen foot menorah on display if you are so inclined. It was lit this year by Abe Weinrib, who turns 100 today and is a survivor of the Nazi prison camp Bergen-Belsen.
Happy Hanukkah to all our Jewish friends from the Dispatch library!

Aviamarket Flies R66 Around the Globe
|Part of the around-the-world flight
of the Robinson R66.
The company organized the flight in an effort to test the newly Russian type certified R66. The flight took the helicopters from Russia and across Europe before crossing the North Atlantic Ocean heading west over Canada, with a passage through Alaska and finally crossing the North Pacific Ocean to Siberia and back to Moscow. Crossing the Atlantic presented the biggest challenge of the trip, as it featured the longest stretches over water, the longest being 490 miles.
A team of four pilots flew about 620 miles per day in the R66s which were outfitted with auxiliary fuel tanks to extend their range.

Estimated grade.
Sold by B. Max Mehl Jun '41 price realized $14.25
Ron Guth: In 1798, a new Liberty Head hub punch appeared for the Draped Bust large cent. The most obvious difference between the old and the new hub is the addition of two prominent curls to the new hub: one in the hair near the shoulders and another in the hair to replace the softer curl below and to the left of the ear. The new style was used on all Draped Bust Large Cents through 1807 with one exception -- when an old 1798 obverse was overdated to 1800!
According to the PCGS Population Report, the 2nd Hair Style is slightly more common than the 1st Hair Style, though there are more Mint State examples of the 1st Hair Style. The finest 2nd Hair Style certified by PCGS (as of May 2011) is a single MS65RB.

About the Author: Tom Countryman serves as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
As part of the recently launched U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue, the United States committed to building a comprehensive long-term partnership with Pakistan across a wide range of issue areas, from economic development and energy to education, healthcare and strengthening democratic governing institutions. Attacks by al-Qaida and associated extremist groups inside Pakistan and neighboring Afghanistan -- and the desire of such groups to extend their reach to the United States -- demonstrate the urgency and importance of developing a long-term relationship with our partners in Pakistan to address shared security challenges as well.
Security cooperation is a critical element of building a comprehensive, long-term partnership with Pakistan. In fact, I recently returned from Rawalpindi, where I co-led a meeting of the U.S.-Pakistan Strategic Dialogue's bilateral Security Assistance Working Group. U.S. security assistance programs overseen by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs aim to improve Pakistan's counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operational capabilities, deepen our bilateral relationship, and underline America's long-tern commitment to helping Pakistan and its neighbors to promote peace and security in the wider region.
In the meeting, I joined Deputy Director of the U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency Jeanne Lynn Farmer, and Major General Nasir Mahmood, Additional Secretary, Pakistan Ministry of Defense Production, to review the status of defense goods aimed at strengthening Pakistan's capabilities to meet shared security challenges. In recent months, these deliveries have included U.S. P-3C patrol aircraft to the Pakistan Navy and an Oliver Hazard Perry Class naval vessel, as well as progress in construction at Pakistan's Shahbaz Air Force Base, which will allow for the delivery of new F-16 fighter aircraft for their air force later this year.
But U.S.-Pakistani security cooperation is much more than equipment deliveries. Pakistan is among the leading beneficiaries of more than $7 billion in annual security assistance programs overseen by our Bureau in 70 countries. As a part of that security assistance, Pakistan receives approximately $300 million a year in U.S. training and equipment provided under Foreign Military Financing (FMF), as well as opportunities for more than 100 Pakistani officers and enlisted personnel a year to study at U.S. military schools through the International Military Education and Training program (IMET), offering them a chance not only to acquire key technical skills, but also to forge lifelong professional ties and personal relationships with their U.S. counterparts.
We plan to further expand our commitment to stronger security ties as the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs assumes responsibility later this year for the new Pakistan Counterinsurgency Capabilities Fund (PCCF), which supports the Government of Pakistan in building and maintaining the capability of its security forces to conduct counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations, and to clear and hold terrain in contested areas throughout the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and elsewhere along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
PCCF is aimed at strengthening Pakistani security forces so they can diminish extremist access to safe havens from which attacks on Pakistan, the United States, and international forces operating in Afghanistan are planned and executed. PCCF also complements our efforts to implement our $7.5 billion, five-year civilian assistance strategy, which includes efforts to help the Government of Pakistan provide basic services to the Pakistani people, particularly in areas vulnerable to extremists.
As Secretary Clinton recently observed, "Pakistan is on the front line of confronting the violent extremism that threatens us all. And Pakistan's civilians and security forces continue to bear the brunt of that fight. We respect the sacrifices that Pakistan has made in combating terrorists who seek to undermine its stability and undo its progress." Pakistan's armed forces have stepped up to the challenge from Swat to South Waziristan, and the United States will continue to support Pakistan as we work together to protect our citizens and our countries from the violent extremism that threatens us both.

NYPA Approves Issuance of
$465 Million in Refunding Transactions to Reduce Interest on Debt
Connie Cullen
(914) 390-8196
Printer-friendly version
September 20, 2005
ALBANY—New York Power Authority (NYPA) trustees
today approved new resolutions authorizing the issuance and sale of two
new series of bonds, the Series 2005A and Series 2005B Revenue Bonds
(the 2005A Bonds and 2005B Bonds, respectively), and Commercial Paper
Notes (CP-3) for an aggregate amount not to exceed $465 million. The
financings will reduce debt costs to NYPA.
The 2005A Bonds, in an amount not to exceed $195
million, are being issued for the purpose of refunding a portion of the
Series 2000A Revenue Bonds (2000A Bonds), which are callable on December
15, 2005, and to pay the cost of issuance of the 2005A Bonds.
Approximately $187 million of the 2000A Bonds will
be refunded. These bonds financed a portion of the costs of NYPA's Long
Island Sound Cable Project, an underground and underwater transmission
line. The majority of the projected savings from this refunding will be
passed on to the Long Island Power Authority through reduced debt
service billings. The Series 2005A Bonds are expected to be tax-exempt,
fixed rate bonds.
The 2005B Bonds and CP-3, in an amount not to
exceed $270 million, are being issued for the purpose of refunding
approximately $238 million of Commercial Paper Notes (CP-2), to pay
associated swap termination fees and the cost of issuance of the 2005B
Bonds. The CP-2 to be refunded were swapped to a fixed rate in order to
hedge against rising interest rates, therefore to terminate those swaps
a payment will be required to the swap counterparties. The Series 2005B
Bonds are expected to be tax-exempt, fixed rate bonds and the CP-3 will
be taxable.
"Reducing debt service helps save Power Authority
customers money and continues NYPA's sound stewardship of its debt
service coverage that has been consistently recognized by the rating
agencies," said Joseph Seymour, chairman, NYPA. Current ratings
assigned to NYPA are AA-minus by Standard & Poor's, Aa2 by Moody's
Investors Service and AA by Fitch Ratings, all with a stable outlook.
The life of the 2005A and 2005B Bonds will not
extend beyond the current maturity dates of the instruments they are
refunding. The 2005A Bonds would amortize over the same period as the
2000A Bonds with the same maturity date of November 15, 2020. The 2005B
Bonds would be amortized over the same period as the CP-2 with the
maturity date of February 15, 2015. The CP-3 would be amortized over
the next three to five years.
A team of four underwriters led by Morgan Stanley
will market the 2005A Bonds. Citigroup will oversee the 2005B Bonds
with assistance from three additional underwriters. No dates have been
set for the sale and closing of the bonds and notes.
NYPA uses no tax money or credit in its
operations. The Power Authority finances operations through the sale of
bonds and earns revenue from proceeds of its operations, which is in
large part, the sale of electricity. NYPA is the largest state-owned
electric utility in the nation. Statewide, NYPA generates electricity
at 17 locations and operates over 1,400 circuit miles of transmission.
