After two posts worth (Part 1 and Part 2) of carefully sifting the data, we arrived at the standard conclusion that pretty much everyone goes with: Jesus held the Last Supper as a Passover meal on Thursday night; and was executed and buried Friday. (Which is "Good Friday" only if, and only because, Jesus was raised to life again sometime between sunset Saturday and dawn Sunday. But this is a historical analysis series not a theological one.)
Sure, GosMatt and (to a lesser extent) GosMark have some oddities in the Greek that can cause some problems, but GosLuke's language is far more specific; and even taken by themselves, GosMatt and GosMark independently add up to that timing schedule once the narrative details are thoroughly accounted for. So GosLuke isn't simply settling things one way that could have meant something else in the other two Synoptic Gospels, just clarifying what the other two Gospels added up to after all.
Soooooo.... where's the problem? Why do even conservative Christian scholars sometimes talk like the question of the day when Jesus died is in doubt?
-----oh, wait. We're still missing one of the canonical Gospels.
Yep, factoring GosJohn into the account leads to most of the trouble. Click on the jump to see why!
The problem isn't that GosJohn's timing is vague or mythically symbolic or anything like that. The Gospel According to John has the largest proportion of clear time/space narrative cues of all four canonicals! So when it doesn't seem to add up with the Synoptics, that leads to questions not only of which account we ought to follow, but to what extent any or all of them are historically unreliable.
Which is not to say that GosJohn doesn't have some timing vagueries of its own. John (unlike Matthew and Mark) is very specific that Mary of Bethany anointed Jesus six days before the Passover, and that His triumphal entry into Jerusalem happened the next day. (12:1-19) But GosJohn has nothing else to say about any of the other pre-Supper events of that week; and John's one unique contribution (12:20-50), a scene that occurs when certain Greeks arriving in town to worship at the Passover want to meet Jesus (but which has nothing much to do with them after), has no timing cues at all. Or spatial cues for that matter -- does it happen in the Temple, outside the Temple, in Jerusalem, outside Jerusalem? What relation should or does it have to any of the sequence of events set up in the Synoptics during that week? Who knows? I myself (in
Anyway, when GosJohn picks up specific timing cues again, at the start of what we call chapter 13, the first thing John says out of the gate is {pro de tês heortês tou pascha}, "Now before the feast of the Passover"; and John isn't doing this to set up a scene where Jesus answers His disciples concerns about whether arrangements have been made for celebrating it yet or if not should they be doing so now (rather too late in the week to secure any decently large enough private room in the city!) No, John is setting up the Last Supper scene itself! Which John then goes on, unlike the Synoptics, never to call a Passover supper! In fact John doesn't mention anything that might feasibly point to this being a Passover service at all. Yet it's still obviously supposed to be the same scene in the Synoptics: Jesus laments that Judas will betray Him, and sets up the sign pointing to the traitor (which has extra meaning of honor to Judas if this is a Passover service by the way), and prophecies that Peter will also deny Him and that the disciples will be scattered; and there isn't another meal or day later, this is it! -- Jesus leaves the table (after what is called the Final Discourse) and goes to Gethsemane that same night to be arrested (with clear time/space cues), and He's tried before Pilate the next day and crucified and buried that same day.
So, if this all happens before the feast of the Passover, when exactly is the Passover supposed to be?! -- because on the face of it, the Synoptics, especially GosLuke, seemed to be saying the Passover holiday was that night!
Yet John is quite clear further on that the Passover holiday hasn't happened yet on the day Jesus is tried and executed. When Jesus is led into the Praetorium from Caiphas at 18:28 (although John doesn't actually mention the trial before Caiaphas but only a meeting with Annas the father-in-law of Caiaphas and still the proper high priest aside from Roman assignment, so this phrase means John knows about the trial before Caiaphas but is skipping over it), he specifically says that the chief priests don't want to go into the governor's residence because they don't want to be ritually defiled (by entering a pagan's house) before they have eaten the Passover! So the main Passover meal hasn't been celebrated and eaten yet!--GosJohn is clearly saying that the holiday itself wasn't the night of the Last Supper!
(Pilate's custom of releasing a prisoner at Passover, which all four canonical Gospels report, doesn't have any clear timing cues in itself about whether he does that before the Passover ceremony, symbolizing what Egypt should have done, or after the Passover ceremony, symbolizing what Egypt did do in setting the Hebrews free. Strictly speaking the Synoptics, aside from a verse appended to GosLuke in later copies to synch it up a bit better with GosJohn and the other Synoptics, don't even connect this practice specifically to the Feast of Passover--Pilate on their account might do this for each or any holiday feast.)
Moreover, once the crucifixion process kicks off, John makes a point of saying (19:14) that this happened on "the Preparation for the Passover". By this John apparently means the day the lambs were slain and crucified for sacrificial cooking, because when John connects what happens and what doesn't happen to Jesus, to Old Testament prophecy, the details of blood and water and being pierced and not having a bone broken are (at least superficially) similar to what happens to the lambs. (GosJohn alone of all texts in the New Testament, except also the Revelation to John, includes language of Jesus being called the Lamb of God in relation to Him being slain--although curiously he doesn't do so here at the actual scene.)
John doesn't only mean the day of preparation for the Passover meal, though; he also very explicitly means the day of preparation before the Sabbath: 19:31 (New American Standard Version) "The Jews therefore [meaning the Jewish leaders as GosJohn usually does by that term], because it was the day of preparation, so that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath, for the day of that Sabbath was great, asked Pilate..." to order the men being crucified that day to be killed early and buried. (Jesus has already died when this request is made, by the way, but the other two men had not yet.)
Having set up that this is happening on Friday before sunset, John doesn't report anything happening Saturday at all, but moves on at the beginning of chapter 20 to {tê mia tôn sabbatôn}, "the first of the sabbaths", the same phrase used by the other canonical authors; and again by narrative context one way or another this has to mean Sunday morning just like they do.
So, there's the problem: GosJohn has the same Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday sequence as the Synoptics, and he's quite clear about that when the details are added up, but he's also very explicitly clear that the Passover holiday meal was going to be held Friday night with the lambs slain on Friday (which on Jewish day-reckoning would have started at sunset on Thursday). The Synoptics very clearly say that the Last Supper was the Passover celebration, held on Thursday night, with no mention of Friday night being the Passover celebration instead.
This is the main reason why there are various theories about Jesus having been slain some other day than Friday, even though all four texts are explicitly clear that He died on a Friday afternoon a few hours before sunset (thus those theories can only get going by discounting or ignoring various points of textual data).
Of course, another way of solving for the data is to conclude that the data cannot be solved for!--the Synoptics or GosJohn or both are just wrong, either accidentally or on purpose. Obviously sceptics tend to go with this kind of theory, but a number of conservative scholars are willing to suggest that John thematically shuffled the night of Passover around to emphasize how the sacrifice of Christ mirrored the sacrifice of the lambs eaten at Passover. (John would be the more plausible candidate for thematic shuffling of the Passover day, mainly because there doesn't seem to be any reason why someone in the earliest church would shuffle the Passover meal back to Thursday night.)
A more rare solution, and the one I currently accept, is the one I've talked about already in the earlier two parts: a leader was allowed to celebrate the Passover one night early in emergency circumstances, the typical example being that of the Maccabeean revolution when a battle was expected the next day.
This theory accounts for a number of other peculiarities in the stories, especially why in all four accounts the Caiaphas coterie in the Sanhedrin had decided to wait until after Passover to arrest and execute Jesus, and yet all of a sudden they're in a rush to get Jesus crucified by early Friday morning on the basis of information Judas thought he had to rush off to tell them. That Judas realized Jesus (at least) had learned of his plans to betray Him at some opportune time, might be a reason for Judas to flee as quickly as possible; but it would be no good reason for Caiaphas and his allies to rush a hasty trial and execution after they had already decided to wait. They wouldn't do that unless the situation they themselves were worried about had changed; Jesus knowing Judas was a traitor doesn't change any situation the Sanhedrin cares about, enough to risk mob action (and in the face of what was apparently some stiff opposition in the Sanhedrin against condemning Jesus, as GosJohn and some of the Synoptic accounts both tend to indicate in somewhat different ways).
But if Jesus holds the Passover one night early, that's a signal He's expecting not to be able to do it the normal night due to an emergency situation; and that would be a signal to the Sanhedrin that Jesus intends to make serious trouble Friday before Passover (or perhaps Friday night at midnight, since traditionally the Messiah was expected to come/reveal/declare himself at midnight after Passover).
The theory, as mentioned in previous parts, also synchs up with some odd Greek phrasing in GosMatt and GosMark, not found in GosLuke, to the effect that the first of two Feasts of Unleavened Bread was at hand when Jesus prepared the Passover.
That phrasing doesn't show up in GosJohn, but what does show up is a curious detail not found in the Synoptics: the disciples are confused about why Judas is leaving. They don't realize he's going out to betray them, but they can't decide if he's going out to buy supplies for the Passover (because he's the group treasurer) or if he's going out to give money to the poor which is what the person in the eldest-child position is supposed to do when the Passover ritual reaches a certain point (and also Judas is the group treasurer--but there are indications among the canonical four Gospels that Judas was given the place of honor at the meal.)
In other words, according to the implications of GosJohn 13:29, the disciples themselves were confused among themselves about whether they were in the middle of celebrating a Passover seder that night or not!
Now, if Jesus was holding the Passover seder in a peculiar way -- and there are indications in all four Gospels in this direction, too -- they might be confused about whether they were celebrating Passover at all that night, but they wouldn't be confused about whether Judas was going out to purchase supplies for Passover unless they thought this wasn't the normal night for Passover! If they only had one and only one night for Passover in mind, it's far too late to buy supplies for Passover by now, so that wouldn't be an issue. If they have two nights for Passover in mind, however, then that explains the detail of their confusion among themselves about whether Judas is leaving to buy supplies for Passover or to fulfill part of his role in celebrating Passover. (GosJohn, unfortunately, isn't clear that going out to give money to the poor is part of the seder celebration, but John demonstrably engages in Jewish meanings and theological disputes elsewhere that would fly way over the heads of a Gentile audience.)
This theory might also explain the oddity of GosJohn avoiding (almost) any indication that the Last Supper is a Passover meal. The only way John could explain that to a Gentile audience would be to introduce the concept of an emergency Passover, and even to a mixed Jewish/Gentile audience he might want to avoid bringing up the typical rationale for an emergency meal: battle expected the next day! On the contrary, John is much more concerned than the Synoptic authors with emphasizing that Jesus never had any intention of armed rebellion against Rome, and that He got on rather well with Pontius Pilate the Roman governor. That's an important cultural point at whatever time GosJohn was written (or even updated and re-released), whether pre 70 or late 90s: the Romans should understand that Christians pose no military challenge to their authority at all. Jesus was not slain in military rebellion against Rome, but due to religious concepts and political maneuvering by people who, ironically but wrongly, were worried (so John says, 11:47-53, even more explicitly than the other canonical Gospels) that Jesus intended to stage a military rebellion.
This may also account for why GosJohn would skip over or downplay the Passover-seder characteristics of the Last Supper after John had seemed so insistent about Jesus suggesting His real presence in something people would be eating and drinking, back in chapter 6 (in a scene that connects to the pre-Christian Jewish concept of the Temple "showbread", as the new manna, being the vehicles of the real presence of YHWH shown to the people during feasts). John would have a cultural reason to skip over that for sake of trying to protect Christians from Roman harassment; but Jews in John's audience would remember that one of the important points to the Passover is that the sacrificed lamb must be entirely eaten: the lamb may be a symbol for something greater, but Jews aren't supposed to 'only symbolically' eat the lamb by eating bread instead or anything like that.
So John isn't simply ignoring such issues, he's bringing them into His account, sometimes in very blunt ways--it's hard to get blunter than for Jesus to repeatedly insist that people must "munch" on His flesh to have God's own life in them! Consequently, there has to be some explanation other than doctrinal issues over the Real Presence for him to skip (almost) completely over the question of whether the Last Supper was a Passover seder.
(GosJohn has some other interesting details along this line, too, such as the statement back during the prologue in chapter 1 that, in Greek, says Jesus continues dwelling with us or within us as in a tabernacle for us to view His glory; and that we all at some point receive all His fullness with our hands. English translations tend to obscure this language, although the ancient Catholic congregations keep such things in mind.)
At any rate, this is the best harmonization explanation I've found so far about why the Synoptic accounts and GosJohn seem to deviate so dramatically between when the Passover occurred, Thursday night or Friday. And while I'm a bit late for contributing it this Easter, I hope it will be of some help on future Easter weeks to come!

True, although not the timing weirdness I wanted to talk about.
I'm thinking of doing an article on what the implications are of GosMatt including "three day and three nights in the earth" in Jesus' discussion about the sign of Jonah, when Matthew's own account agrees that it couldn't even possibly have been three days and three nights by even the most generous stretch of what counts as "days".

Sometimes when he drops the gloves in a hockey game, Winnipeg Jets forward Tanner Glass wonders what his former colleagues at Dartmouth College are up to. The small Ivy League college is known more for producing poet Robert Frost, industrialist Nelson Rockefeller and three Nobel Prize winners, and not a rugged NHL hockey player whose fights are rated on popular hockey websites.
"Yeah I get the odd message from those guys, they like it," Glass said today after practice. "Everybody loves a good fight, I think."
Glass, 27, signed a one year contract with the Jets this summer worth $750,000. A Regina native, he spent four years at Dartmouth before starting his NHL career in 2007 with the Florida Panthers.
Glass said he turns down many "staged fights" and looks back fondly to the days when "you used to have to kind of think up a good excuse [to fight]. But now tough players are eager to gain playing time and win favour from coaches so they simply ask for a fight. "If they haven't fought in five or 10 games I think guys try to get their fights in," he said.
He added those types of fights are becoming less frequent, partly because many of the so called fighters are actually decent players. "They are not just hopping in with the one objective in mind, " he said.Report Typo/Error

Bruce Campbell heads to Pabst Theater for 'Army of Darkness' screening
'Army of Darkness' star Bruce Campbell in town for screening
With his pronounced chin and talent for smooth line readings, Bruce Campbell was born to deliver cheesy catchphrases. That's why he's a favorite go-to actor for starring roles in schlock like "Maniac Cop" and "Tornado!" In some cases, some of those B movies have endured as cult classics - most notably the "Evil Dead" series, whose initial installment is getting the remake treatment this spring.
The series' and Campbell's finest hour was 1993's "Army of Darkness." The gleefully cartoonish fantasy horror flick features Campbell as housewares employee Ash, who's thrust back to medieval times where he wages battle against demons with his trusty "boomstick" (i.e. a shotgun). And Campbell's catchphrases in "Darkness" - oh, they're "groovy." Between "Come get some," "Give me some sugar baby" and many more too crass to print, it's hard to pick a favorite.
Campbell will attend a screening of "Army of Darkness" at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Pabst Theater, 144 E. Wells St., where he'll share stories from his career and answer audience questions. Tickets are $28 at the box office, (414) 286-3663 and pabsttheater.org/" target="_blank">pabsttheater.org/">pabsttheater.org .

When I open a file using fopen, and i set the mode to r+ (that supposedly allows me to read and write in that file at the same time), and then when i try to read or write in it, only the first thing i try works, for example:
in this case, only fgetc() would be succesfully executed, while fputc would be ignored. If I put fputc() first and then fgetc(), then it would be fgetc() the ignored function?Code:int main() { FILE *file; file = fopen("test.txt", "r+"); char a = fgetc(file); fputc('a', file); printf("%c", a); fclose(file); }
What am I doing wrong here? why cant i read and write at the same time?

What is said to be Australia's first commercial Indigenous fresh products company has been launched at the Adelaide produce markets.
The Matjarra brand has grown from a small family operation on Yorke Peninsula in South Australia to an operation employing 25 people.
They produce herbs and spices which are being supplied to IGA and Foodland supermarkets across SA.
Company founder Ron Newchurch said there was potential to expand the concept across Australia.
"During our winter a lot of our stocks stop growing.
If we can get Indigenous people around Brisbane and the top of New South Wales growing in the winter, they can sell produce to us down here," he said.
Mr Newchurch borrowed to get the business up and running, but has now had support from Indigenous Business Australia.
He has paid back his loans and the business is now a profitable enterprise.
"Now we've had to buy a refrigerated van to bring 50-60 boxes down, three times a week." Mr Newchurch is hoping to triple production in the next few years.
"We've got 80 acres of land, we've got three hectares under irrigation and we want to develop another 10 hectares of produce to become one of the main suppliers to the [Adelaide] market," he said.
"We're trying to create jobs now to get the Aboriginal people out and get them off welfare."

The 45-year-old said he heard three doctors saying they did not think he was going to pull through before he slipped into a coma.
"I thought I was on my way out. It has got to inspire me to never let this happen again. I've come through that - death. I was dead," Gascoigne said in an interview in The Sun. Gascoigne is back home after a month at an Arizona clinic where he was treated for his illness.

Antidotes for Aging Parts
7 ways to maintain your health and prevent disease as you age.
Years of exposure to UV light and smoke may contribute to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of blindness in older people. But an antioxidant-rich diet may help. Studies link higher intakes of vitamins C and E, beta carotene and zinc as well as lutein and zeaxanthin (antioxidants in yellow and green vegetables and egg yolks) and omega-3 fats with reduced risk for AMD.

Common Issues
Why aren't my images showing up on archive pages?
For each post, you need to set a featured image.
I don't see the Portfolio and Team pages.
You need to set your pretty permalinks at

- your-site-url.com/portfolio
- your-site-url.com/team
To add those pages to your menu: Go to
Appearance > Menu and add a custom link for each URL. Don't actually create the Portfolio and Team pages because that's not how it works. They already exists, but will not be available on the
Menus page like other links.

Contact high concerns in Pueblo
PUEBLO, Colo. - Officers getting high from marijuana.
It's a big concern for the Chief of Police in Pueblo. He's worried about officers getting a contact high.
That's why he's relieved that the city of Pueblo voted to hold off on retail marijuana sales, at least for now.
"I'd be concerned as they answer further calls for service that their decision making might be impaired in some way," said Luis Velez, Pueblo Police Chief.
It's been ingrained in our heads that being near tobacco smoke can hurt you. But when it comes to weed, the answer isn't as clear.
"They've actually done studies on people they put them in glass enclosures and left them in there for hours with so much smoke you couldn't see through it. None of those highlighted on a drug test. In other words, the levels didn't reach high enough on a drug test to hit positive, but they did have THC in their body," said Dr. John Torres.
Researchers say smoking one joint is the same as breathing in second hand smoke from 16 joints in one hour.
"You're probably not going to run into problems, you probably will not get enough in your body to effect any drug tests. Probably not enough in your body to cause any impairments," said Dr. Torres.
"I would differ with people who have that opinion. I would be concerned that the officers would come out of that club and be under the influence themselves of the marijuana smoke," said Velez.
Pueblo City Council decided to wait on its decision on selling retail marijuana or opening cannabis clubs. That's why the chief says, he's relieved. At least for now.
The decision on retail marijuana sales in Pueblo has been extended until the end of November. The vote on growing recreational marijuana has been pushed back until June 30th.

Edinburgh-based Miller Group, the UK's biggest privately-owned construction group, has sold its civil engineering business for £20 million as it seeks to focus more on core areas and make acquisitions.
The company will now concentrate on housebuilding, property and construction.
London-based Morgan Sindall is to buy Miller Civil Engineering Services, which Miller had identified as non-core. MCES consists of tunnelling and infrastructure services. Clients include West of Scotland Water.
In January, Miller sold its mining operation to Scottish Coal. The latest disposal "completes the restructuring of Miller's construction services businesses," said the company.
Chief executive Keith Miller said MCES "was the one business which had no complementary cross-overs with the others. It was fairly specialised."
MCES employs 350 people, based in Rugby, in the Midlands. Turnover last year was 130 million, with pre-tax profit of 3.7 million.
Miller, 93 per cent family-owned, will grow its turnover this year, despite selling off MCES. The company said yesterday it was projecting a record turnover of 600 million for 2001, up 7.8 per cent on 2000. Miller said: "It just shows how fast we're growing in the other areas."
Miller was in Birmingham yesterday for the BBC Good Homes Show at the NEC, where one of the company's houses is on show. He said the firm was looking to expand in the Midlands.
The company made three acquisitions during the year, worth a total of 66 million. Miller bought John Lynch, a housebuilder based in the west of Scotland, and housebuilders Birch and Crest Nicholson.
The disposal reduces Miller's headcount to about 1,850. It will also help reduce the company's gearing, which had risen to 129 per cent at the end of the year as a result of acquisitions. However, Miller said this was not the reason for the deal and said the company could afford more acquisitions. "We're looking at a number of things, although there's nothing imminent," he said.
The company reported an operating profit to 29.4 million for the year to 31 December 2000, compared with 19.7 million in 1999.
In July, a consortium headed by Miller was awarded the 1.2 billion contract for Glasgow schools Public-Private Partnership. The 30-year deal, the biggest PPP so far, will see Miller maintain Glasgow's 29 secondary schools. Miller has a 25 per cent stake in the consortium. The company has also landed a 39 million contract to build the Centre West shopping centre at East Kilbride.
Morgan Sindall shares rose 18p to 398p.

By PA Independent Staff
HARRISBURG – The new year began with most eyes on Washington, D.C., as Congress tried to hammer out a last-second deal to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff," but Pennsylvania was making news as well.
Gov. Tom Corbett decided to sue the NCAA over the fines and penalties assessed by the collegiate athletic association on Penn State University in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, and lawmakers elected in November were officially sworn in during a New Year's Day ceremony marking the start of the new session.
Corbett sues NCAA over Penn State sanctions
Gov. Tom Corbett filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on behalf of the state of Pennsylvania in federal court this week, arguing that the collegiate association overstepped its own rules by assessing a $60 million fine and a series of sanctions against Penn State University in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal.
After months of research and deliberation, as well as discussions with alumni, students, faculty, business owners and elected officials, Corbett said he has concluded that the NCAA's sanctions were "overreaching and unlawful.''
In the lawsuit, the state argues that the NCAA sanctions threaten the state's economy, citing a study that says Penn State football generated $161 million in business during 2009 and helped create 2,200 jobs.
In a statement, the NCAA said they were "disappointed by the governor's action" and said lawsuit was without merit.
Under state law, a governor is allowed to file a lawsuit directly without going through the state attorney general's office, which in this case had a potential conflict of interest since it conducted the investigation that eventually led to the NCAA sanctions in the first place.
Some have accused Corbett of flip-flopping, since he said in July that the sanctions were part of the "corrective process" the school needed to undergo.
The move doubles as a political maneuver for Corbett, who may be attempting to win back support from Penn State alumni who turned on the governor after the Sandusky scandal and helped to elect the first Democratic attorney general in Pennsylvania history in November when Kathleen Kane largely ran on a platform promising to review Corbett's handling of the case.
Corbett denied any political motivation for the lawsuit and said Kane was not involved in the planning of the suit.
No changes at the top for legislature
There were no change in the top leadership ranks of the state House and state Senate as new members were sworn in to begin the two-year legislative session on New Year's Day at the state capitol.
Members re-elected Speaker of the House Sam Smith, R-Jefferson, to a second term as the head of the state House. Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, and Minority Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny, each were elected to second terms as the chiefs of their respective legislative caucuses.
In the state Senate, President Joseph Scarnati, R-Jefferson, will lead the chamber for a fourth consecutive session, while Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Chester, and Minority Leader Jay Costa, D-Allegheny, will continue to serve as floor leaders.
While Democrats won all five statewide elections in November, they were unable to topple the GOP's hold on both chambers of the state legislature, meaning the next two years will begin in much the same way as the last two years – with Republicans holding all branches of state government.
Committee chairmanships were also announced this week.
2013 could see more inheritance tax exemptions
State Rep. Steve Bloom, R-Cumberland, will soon introduce legislation to eliminate the inheritance tax on business assets, including real estate, for children, siblings or other relatives of a decedent.
He led similar legislation last year that exempts family owned farms from paying the tax.
All too often, Bloom said, family-owned businesses may not have the cash to pay the inheritance tax bill. This means family members inheriting a business are faced with selling off assets or taking out a loan to cover the tax while keeping the business in the family.
A Department of Revenue analysis of Bloom's proposal shows that exempting family businesses would create a loss of $9.9 million in taxes in 2013-14, and $11.3 million the next year. By 2017-18, that figure would be around $13.4 million, as over time inflation would increase asset values.
Some Pennsylvania lawmakers have introduced proposals to eliminate the tax. State Sen. Richard Alloway, R-Franklin, for example, has introduced legislation to phase out the tax over time.
Bloom said he supports other efforts to eliminate the tax, but he hopes to chip away at it over time.
"If we can't eliminate it, at least we can make progress towards lessening its impact," he said.
Folmer again pushes for state budget spending cap
For the second year in a row, state Sen. Mike Folmer, R-Lebanon, introduced the Taxpayer Protection Act, which would create a budgetary cap linked to population growth and inflation.
The concept is modeled after the Taxpayer Bill of Rights, a controversial state spending cap policy known as TABOR. It's only been enacted in Colorado, where it was later suspended.
Folmer said his legislation would create a spending ceiling, helping to manage the tax climate and improve business growth.
"I believe you can either grow government or grow business, the two don't seem to match," he said.
Folmer points out that Pennsylvania is in the minority of states that has no formal controls on budget growth. The only requirement is that a balanced budget be passed before July 1.
Pennsylvania already is on the path to reigning in its state spending. In the previous two budgets, the state kept growth under the rate of inflation, while in years past it was two or three times that, according to Folmer.
Lawmaker: Arm teachers to increase school safety
Armed guards may soon patrol outside Pennsylvania's public schools, and the teachers may be armed, as well.
A pair of Republican lawmakers in the state House are working on legislation to make Pennsylvania schools safer. But while all sides agree on the need to improve school safety, some worry about bringing guns into schools, regardless of the lawmakers' intent.
State Rep. Greg Lucas, R-Erie, plans to sponsor legislation that would make it legal for teachers and school administrators to carry weapons in the classroom, provided they are licensed to carry a firearm and have valid and current certification under state law.
"As we consider ways to improve school safety, I believe we have to consider trusting school personnel to serve as a first line of defense. We trust them to protect our children every day. I think we need to offer them the tools to carry out that sacred trust," Lucas wrote in a memo being circulated among members of the state House this week.
Pennsylvania has more than 3,000 public school buildings spread across 500 school districts.
Gun control advocates said they were concerned about the possibility of accidents if guns were allowed in the classroom, and worried that students might be able to gain access to those firearms.

Since the introduction of the DVR more than a decade ago, consumers have learned they don't have to conform their lives to broadcast programmers' schedules in order to watch their favorite TV shows.
Along come online sources like HuluPlus, or the network's own websites promise even more convenience: Get any episode of any show with no need to remember to record it. But adoption is hampered by the awkward viewing experience of the cramped screens of laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
Welcome to TV viewing in the Age of the Customer. Consumers want their favorite shows when they want them, on their preferred device, with little or no effort on their part.
Linear TV, DVRs and today's online viewing experience all fail on at least one of these dimensions. Viewers increasingly cobble together a mix of sources and devices to create this level of convenience, and each of these players vies to capture more of viewers' time by improving its offering.
In my new report, "How Online Video Will Challenge DVRs' Role," I delve into how these two sources of video entertainment vie to meet consumers' increasing expectations. DVRs have the advantage of incumbency, while online viewing offers greater flexibility.
Let the battle begin!

Wal-Mart also sells the Apple TV and Roku devices, so it might not seem like a big deal, but it is. Because Wal-Mart is going to promote Boxee TV with in-store displays and outbound marketing support. Why? Because in addition to the regular apps like Hulu, Netflix, and the rest, Boxee gives Wal-Mart customers three things they can't get from Apple or Roku:

If nothing else, the first half of the local prep football season was marked by one deluge or another, be it in the form of rain, significant injuries or suspensions. To which we say, thank goodness it's fall, both on the calendar and thermometer. Perhaps this tinge of crispness in the air means the weather delays, and perhaps the injury scourge, are behind us. Which isn't to suggest the season's first six weeks were a total wash. Before pressing on to tonight's action, we pull on our ponchos and wade back in time to offer our midseason report.
Coach of the Half-Year
At the risk of further un-appreciating Durant's Mike Gottman, whose staff might be the most underrated around, our nod goes to retiring Robinson coach Mike DePue. We still maintain those state-record 11 defensive TDs (in only five games) are a bit flukish, but credit DePue and his staff for employing a plethora of coverages, hammering home the art of stripping the ball, and generally plugging their kids into positions where big-play chances increase. Their offense (185 rushing yards a game) isn't shabby either.
Honorable mention: Gottman, Strawberry Crest's John Kelly
Player of the Half-Year
Count his mesmerizing 2011 season, and Armwood's Alvin Bailey has been our Player of the Year and a Half. The type of player for whom defensive spies were created, Bailey (679 total yards, 10 TDs) has nonetheless flourished, particularly when it counts. In last week's winning fourth-quarter drive against Sickles, he had two receptions for 51 yards. Think about it: Has any local player in recent memory delivered so often in the clutch?
Honorable mention: Strawberry Crest WR Karel Hamilton, Wharton CB Vernon Hargreaves III, Carrollwood Day ATH Andy Embody, Berkeley Prep RB Chris Williams
Upset of the Half-Year
Coming off an abysmal 2011 season in which it won one game (against Leto) on the field, Strawberry Crest served notice with a 21-7 season-opening thumping of Plant City. We've since learned the Chargers (2-3, but two points from 3-2) are a bona fide team under new coach John Kelly. But considering their previous season and the one-half, 49-7 annihilation they suffered against Durant in the spring jamboree, no one saw that win coming.
Honorable mention: King 28, Strawberry Crest 16; Plant City 23, Gaither 21
Rookies of the Half-Year
(Or more specifically, guys having breakthrough seasons)
Ray Ray McCloud, Sickles: In five games, this 160-pound sophomore has run for 622 yards.
Tristan Hyde, Strawberry Crest: Unassuming sophomore has 1,341 passing yards, 12 TDs
Bubba Olivera, Berkeley Prep: Senior newcomer has 17 catches, 441 yards, six TDs
Brad Mayes, Berkeley Prep: Solid so far (763 passing yards, seven TDs) but the sophomore's big tests loom
Ervin Micheal, Plant City: This 5-6, 155-pound freshman ran for 427 yards in first four games
Milestone of the Half-Year
With last week's 36-28 win against Jefferson, Hillsborough coach Earl Garcia clinched his 20th consecutive winning season at the school. Think about that: Every Terrier on the roster has known nothing but winning football at Hillsborough his entire life.
Four story lines to follow in the second half
1. Down-to-the-wire districts: At this point, we can only venture an educated guess at how three district races — 6A-8, 5A-8 and 3A-5 — will unfold, and that's exciting. At least four teams (and maybe five) remain viable playoff candidates in 6A-8. Robinson, Jesuit and Lakewood, meantime, remain gridlocked in 5A-8; and we wouldn't be stunned to see Berkeley Prep, CCC and Tampa Catholic duke it out in a 3A-5 district tiebreaker.
2. They're rivalries again: Tampa Catholic hasn't topped Jesuit in 13 years, and Robinson hasn't topped Plant in eight. Based on what we've seen so far, those trends conceivably could be halted in November. Conceivably, we said.
3. Davis' run at the record: Hobbled by a recent knee injury, Carrollwood Day senior Robert Davis finds himself 997 yards shy of Hillsborough County's all-time rushing yardage record with four regular-season games remaining. The record's still within reach, but Davis will need a stellar finish and at least two playoff games.
4. Clear Friday forecast: We're counting on no more weather delays the rest of the season. We've had enough in six weeks to last the remainder of the decade.

Revenge of the Little People
Probably you don't think a lot about how challenging the world can be for little people. That's because the chances are you aren't one.
Most people are not little people, or they wouldn't be called that. They'd be called "regular-sized people," and a person your size would be called a "huge, horrible giganto-man." Although not to your face, since you could crush a little regular-sized person with your colossal, meaty fist.
You once were a little person, though—one of a very common type of little person that we call "children." Do you remember? Everything was built too big for you, and you couldn't reach the freezer without standing on a chair, and you had to wear unfashionable clothes, because no designer makes "skinny jeans" for three-year-olds. And what about leisure time? Did they have clubs your size at the driving range? Negative. Did you ever feel like bellying up to the bar at your local public house. Sorry, you had to scalp up to it instead. Yeah, back in those days, you got the oily end of the dipstick all the time.
But now you're bigger. Like, a lot bigger. You got tall. You wear thick slabs of prosperity around your midsection like a championship belt. And you've forgotten what it's like to be the little guy in a world engineered for big guys. You never even think about it anymore. (OK, sure, you role-play a halfling rogue in your weekly game, but that doesn't really count.)
Well, the joke is on you henceforth, Jumbo, because the Acer 10.1-inch Atom netbook was built for you in every way but one: The diminutive size. Now you will know the frustration of inconvenient proportions!
Yeah, there are smaller keyboards out there, but this one's plenty wee to make you feel like an ungainly ogre. Your clumsy megafingers will fumble gracelessly across its compact keyboard! You'll poke undexterously at the dinky trackpad! You'll crouch and duck trying to fit your big, fat face in the li'l' webcam's field of view! You'll curse your creator for imprisoning you in such a uselessly oversized body!
The one thing you won't do, though, is give up on using the thing. So what if it's a little petite for comfort? Your new Acer netbook is far too nifty a little machine to give up on those grounds. You'll make do. You'll figure it out. You'll get used to it.
And then you'll finally understand how smaller folks feel all the time.Authorized for SquareTrade Extended Warranty

Made for iPod (Docking Station)
The Made for iPod logo indicates that the product is equipped to use an optional Yamaha Universal iPod Dock that lets you connect your iPod to this product. With the optional dock you can listen to your music and operate the iPod via the product's remote control while at the same time charging the battery on your iPod. Depending on your product's specifications, some will allow you to use the On-Screen Display feature on your video monitor to navigate your music. Some products can even allow you to view your photos and movies from your iPod on your video monitor (view the Specifications of each product for iPod playback compatibility)...
8 Ch Ext Input
8 additional input jacks for discrete multi-channel input. Front (Left, Center, Right), Rear (Surround Left & Right, Surround Back Left & Right) and Subwoofer
CINEMA DSP Digital™
Conventional multichannel audio reproduction systems base their sound on Dolby® Digital and DTS Digital Surround™ decoding, using matrix and steering technologies to create surround sound effects. Yamaha CINEMA DSP Digital™ is much more advanced; actually creating independent sound fields that envelop you in an unmatched surround sound experience. With dialogue, music and effects located in separate sound fields, you will hear sound with directionality, smooth movement, exceptional clarity and presence.
Digital ToP-ART
Digital ToP-ART (Total Purity Audio Reproduction Technology) is the name Yamaha has given to a design philosophy whose goal is to maximize digital quality while minimizing analog circuitry. The culmination of Yamaha's long experience in digital engineering and design, it brings together several key elements to create the best-sounding, A/V components available on the market.
Dolby Digital EX
This surround format from Dolby Digital includes an added center rear channel. The rear center channel is actually matrixed into the two rear channels, and is extracted upon playback. (Formerly called Dolby Digital Surround EX, or Dolby Digital Matrix 6.1.)
Yamaha has developed a natural, realistic DSP algorithm for headphones. Parameters for headphones have been set for each sound field so that accurate representations of all the sound field programs can be enjoyed with a pair of headphones.
XM - XM Ready
A product with this feature indicates that the item is XM Satellite Radio (XM Ready), allowing you to hear over 150 digital channels of music, news, sports, talk and entertainment from America's number one Satellite Radio service. With the addition of the optional digital antenna XM Mini-Tuner Home Dock and the XM Mini-Tuner accessories sold separately, just subscribe to XM Satellite Radio and hear radio as it was meant to be!
YPAO™ Automatic System Calibration
The Yamaha Parametric Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are. First it checks the speaker connections and phase of each speaker. Then it sends out tones which are captured by the microphone to analyze the room acoustics and sets a variety of parameters, such as the speaker size, the distance of the speakers and even the sound pressure level, until it achieves the best sound conditions for your room.
In this format, the back surround channel is matrix encoded into the left and right surround channels. For playback, the three channels are separately decoded.
Neural Surround
Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in surround technology and has been adopted by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of surround recordings and live events in surround sound. Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency domain processing which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. System playback is scalable from 5.1 to 7.1 multi-channel surround playback.
Neural Surround™ name and related logos are trademarks owned by Neural Audio Corporation.
XM HD Surround Sound
XM and Neural Audio Corporation announce XM HD Surround, which provides content with six discrete channels of digital full fidelity audio powered by Neural Audio technology. Marking the first time that a radio company has broadcast in 5.1 Surround Sound twenty-four hours a day. Beginning in April 2006, XM will broadcast the Fine Tuning® (XM Channel 76) and the classical pops music channel XM Pops (XM Channel 113) in XM HD Surround. XM will also broadcast a variety of special shows and live music performances at the XM studios in XM HD Surround.
Compressed Music Enhancer
Yamaha employs sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms to enable playback that improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3 and WMA. With the Compressed Music Enhancer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life to be as close to the original recording as possible.

Hello all.
New GoPro Silver that i'm still getting to grips with. Experimenting this morning by taking 30s video clip at 720p/60fps and a timelapse comprising of ~700 images. Transferred onto computer fine (Intel i3 @ 2.58GHz). I usually use Premiere Elements for my video editing and have recently started playing with After Effects. Computer can cope just fine with processor intensive activities. Cineform opens and I can import files. Set In/Out. Adjust basic conversion settings and add to the queue. The issue I have is upon clicking the "convert " button the file status changes from Waiting to the progress bar and 0%.... and that's it. No progress and no CPU activity to suggest it's doing any work either. Software hasn't crashed as I can close and quit or even remove clips from the queue. So, any thoughts?

Mitigating Risks in Reductions-In-Force
By Brian S. Rauch
Reductions-in-force have, unfortunately, become a growing trend in the retail sector. As detailed in last month's issue of HFN, both Macy's and J.C. Penney recently announced the elimination of 2,000 or more jobs. Even though they are typically done to improve profitability, reductions-in-force can be costly in terms of declines in productivity, loss of morale and potential litigation costs defending claims from terminated employees. With proper preparation, however, these costs can be mitigated.
Comply with Applicable Law
It is important to analyze all relevant federal, state and local laws when considering a reduction-in-force. Most importantly, the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) requires most employers with 100 or more employees to notify employees (as well any applicable union representative and certain local government officials) at least 60 calendar days before certain plant closings and mass layoffs. In general, the notice to the work force must identify the location of the layoffs, company contact information, whether the layoffs are permanent or temporary, the expected schedule for separations, whether bumping rights exist and the job titles and individuals currently in those job titles. In addition, many states and localities have their own "mini-WARN" statutes that an employer must consider. Certain aspects of these state laws can apply to employers with as little as 10 employees, and generally cover employers with more than 25 or 50 employees.
Be Proactive in Notifying Employees
Notify the affected employees as soon as feasible in order to avoid unnecessary rumors. Early notification of upcoming layoffs also provides employees with time to become mentally prepared for their potential layoff and will provide the remaining employees with a sense that the company treated the departing employees with respect--and, thus, provide the comfort of knowing that they will be treated with such respect going forward.
Consider Offering a Severance Plan
Providing severance packages in exchange for a release of claims can limit the company's potential legal risks. A severance package can consist of severance pay, outplacement services, continued health benefits or COBRA payments, or other benefits, in exchange for the employee releasing the company from potential claims. Importantly, a release of claims only will be valid if the severance package exceeds the amount otherwise owed to the employee by way of a contract or policy.
Provide Written Documentation
Employers should provide affected employees with written documentation of their last date of employment, the cessation of company-provided benefits and the details of any severance package being offered. In addition to being a good practice to avoid any misunderstandings, many states require employers to provide a similar written notice of termination. Moreover, employees should be notified that shortly they will receive information regarding their rights to continued health coverage from either the company or health insurance provider.
Communicate with Continuing Workers
After a reduction-in-force occurs, it is vital to have open communications with the continuing work force. Employers should be honest about the reasons for the reduction-in-force, the regrettable nature of the situation and the plan for moving forward. Then, the company should redirect the message to re-energize the remaining work force.
In short, preparation and effective communication can make the unfortunate situation of reducing force a little less risky.

The Prez Sez . . .
There are two exciting things I want to mention this month. One happened this summer and the other will happen in December.
First, Maynard Hill and crew succeeded in flying an RC aircraft across the Atlantic Ocean and landing it within 35 feet of where they wanted. This was the fifth attempt, and at the beginning Maynard only gave it a 20% chance of succeeding. This is not surprising considering the amount of things that could go wrong. Anyone who has flown an RC plane for a while can appreciate that. Briefly, the plane was launched under RC control, then turned over to the GPS system and returned to RC control for the landing in Ireland. Information on the condition of the aircraft was sent back to home base via satellite and an Internet hook up. To learn more about the flight check out tam.plannet21.com
Second, December 17th is the 100th anniversary of powered flight. The Discovery Channel has done a great documentary on the Experimental Aircraft Association's work to reproduce the original 1903 Wright Flyer. This is the plane that will be flown at Kitty Hawk, NC on the 17th. The show goes into a lot of detail on what the Wrights went through to design, build and fly the plane. The special should be shown again several times between now and the 17th of December. They are planning another special on the 17th. If you do not have cable, I have a videotape of the show I can loan out. For more information check out www.countdowntokittyhawk.com.

Fuel Tank Vent Tube Aid
From Radio Control Modeler
Ever get upset with getting that brass vent tube at the correct angle and length to hit the bubble at the top of the fuel tank, only to have everything go catawampus when you tighten down the compression screw? Here are a couple of tank tips that should help. First run a #4-40 tap through the nylon compression washer, discard the sheet metal screw supplied with the tank and secure a #4-40x1" bolt to replace it. Don't ever try to get that tube to hit the bubble, instead just get the bend pointing in the right direction, then use a piece of fuel tubing to extend it to the bubble. Cut a V notch in the end of the tubing so it can't seal against the top of the tank. Mark the end of the fuel line with a Sharpie so you can see it through the fuel tank. The #4-40 bolt will tighten down without putting any torque on the compression washer. Use a smidgen of silicone grease (available in the plumbing supply department) to lubricate the brass tube for easier insertion into the rubber stopper.

At The Field
By Glenn Crocker
By the time you receive this, the field will have been winterized. We took the tarps down prior to the remnants of Isabel that were supposed to come thru and the rest was done the first part of October.
Other than the rainy stretch which seemed to be most of the summer, the flying season has not been bad. Thursday nights were well attended but it seemed this year most people were content to sit and chew the fat instead of flying and then hit the Ice Cream parlor in Honeoye.
There was not too much award fodder this year. Most people behaved themselves, and the rest of the members who witnessed anything were sworn to secrecy. Ned's tree only had one confirmed kill this year.
Flying at the lake was well attended. The last time we were there, we had eight people flying. Usually there have been three to four of us. The water has been calm for the most part. The only problem we had was the fisherman that caught a huge trout right in our takeoff and landing zone. He was back every Tuesday after that so we had to takeoff and land around him. Never did see him catch another fish.
There still is a lot of flying left so plan to take advantage before the white stuff comes. See you at the Dinner aka Ladies Night Out.
If you fly, watch for the plane eating trees. They are bulking up this time of year.
Good gosh there were two of them!
Here is another pretty face to identify. Believe it or not he was in the same school and same graduating class as our happy biker and the building was left standing.

No problem here
Taxiing down the tarmac, a DC-10 abruptly stopped, turned around and returned to the gate. After an hour-long wait, it finally took off. A concerned passenger asked the flight attendant, "What was the problem?" "The pilot was bothered by a noise he heard in the engine," explained the flight attendant, "and it took us a while to find a new pilot."

Keeping the dust off
Eric Higham had a suggestion for a way to clean fragile and hard to clean items. He barrowed his wife's "Swiffer Duster". It's a small flexible device that can get into tight places to remove dust and dirt. The cleaning part is replaceable and they are available at most grocery stores.

Use plastic window covering
Waxed paper is the standard covering for plans. When building an airplane on top of them, I find that waxed paper does not come in large enough sheets and tends to stick to the airplane.
last time I built, I used some left over plastic that is used to cover windows. This stuff is made by 3M Scotch and comes in large 3x5' sheets. This was the exact size of the plans I was using. The covering will shrink if heated, but this is not necessary as it lays very flat. CyA and other glues will not stick to the plastic at all, and it is crystal clean unlike waxed paper.
There was even a roll of double stick in the box. The price on the box (which was several years old) was $5. This price is much cheaper than the Great Planes plan protector stuff, but I don't think you get as much.

Health Alert
Many chores around the shop create dust, and while dust is a nuisance, it can also be a health hazard. Dust of any variety can cause problems over a period of time so why not get in the habit of wearing a dust mask? A cloth or paper mask is good for common dust. For known hazards like paint fumes or spray chemicals, a cartridge type respirator is the way to go. This becomes critical when working with two-part paints that are sprayed. Uncured epoxy and epoxy-based paints are toxic and can cause significant lung damage, even in a single exposure.
There is a large selection of cartridges, so make sure to match the cartridge to the material you are working with. A couple of things to remember are there is no universal cartridge, and a mask that doesn't fit properly offers no protection. A separate air source, away from your shop, is the only safe way to use some paints associated with custom car work. Read and follow product warnings.

A Little Humor
(I may have put this in an earlier Newsletter. If so I apologize but it's worth reading again)
After every flight, pilots fill out a form called a gripe sheet, which conveys to the mechanics any problems they had with the airplane during the flight.
The mechanics read and correct the problems, and then explain in writing on the lower half of the form what remedial action was taken. The pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humor.
Here are some actual maintenance problems submitted by Quantas pilots and the solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
By the way, Quantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.

Keep it Together
From Model Airplane News
It can be a challenge to keep servo leads and extensions together in a model plane that flies in all directions. John discovered a simple solution: apply a drop of flexible CA to the back of the servo plug (the side without the pins) and then plug it into the extension. If you need to take the plugs apart, just slip your hobby knife between them and cut through the CA. You'll easily be able to scrape the dried CA off with the hobby knife. Because flexible CA is rubberized, it won't crack under vibration, so your connections will be secure.
