Shrouded in secrecy, the Templar Order has worked for untold centuries with the singular goal of bringing humanity under the uncontested control of an intellectual elite, by any means necessary. Believing that a free humanity is doomed to suffer chaos and destruction, The Order has worn many faces – including the seemingly devout Knights Templar of the Middle Ages and the far-reaching multi-national Abstergo Corporation of modern day – throughout history to accomplish its goals.
In the quest for control of human civilization, Templars have fanatically pursued the mythical Pieces of Eden, fragments of technology from an ancient civilization that would give them the power to establish themselves as the uncontested masters of the human race. The persistent Assassin Brotherhood has kept this fate at bay but now the dangerous Templar Order is stronger than ever and the future of humanity has never been in greater peril.

Espresso Logic provides explicit support for MongoDB in the Espresso Logic Designer. This capability allows developers to:
Create a MongoDB Resource endpoint
Using the Resource Editor in the Espresso Logic Designer, you create a new Resource by clicking the Add button, and changing the resource name. Next change the Resource Type drop down to MongoDB. Enter the remaining fields for the MongoDB Server, Database Name, and collection name. The username and password are optional (depending on your security settings). A filter can be passed into the Resource (which we will see in a minute) using MongoDB syntax such as
{attributeName: "value"}. This new Resource "MongoEmployees" is now ready for testing in the REST Lab.
Selecting Attributes to Display
The Attributes tab (for now) works with SQL Tables that are part of the Schema of the current project. Note that specific columns can be selected, aliased, and formatted and are reflected in the JSON returned by the REST API.
Building mobile applications or exposing data to partner systems sometimes require that data from multiple sources be combined, mixed, filtered, and returned in a single request. This data needs to be presented as a REST API to the mobile front-end to simplify client coding and reduce latency.
In our example, we are asked to return
Using the Resource editor and specification, we describe the data that we want (SQLCustomer is the parent resource and MongoOrders is the child resource). We create sub-resources attaching (e.g. joining) the sets at child level to create a new resource endpoint.
In this example, we pass the parent row attribute
"<name>" joining the orders field in the Resource (see the Join box (
customer_name: "<name>"). Notice the syntax joins the child attribute to the parent value for each row returned from the parent. The filter is used to refine the selection to only the paid orders.
Define the SQLCustomer Resource first
Join two MongoDB collections
MongoDB developers are told that you cannot do joins across collections. In a strict language sense, this is true. MongoDB is not a relational database. In Espresso Logic, resources are created dynamically and incrementally so a parent resource can pass detail row information to a child to retrieve a sub-resource of another collection.
For example, we have one collection in MongoDB named department. We have been asked to return a new blended resource that includes these department records and employees that work in the department. These collections can be from different databases or even different servers.
The 'join' passes selected attributes from the parent to the child resource to create a 'linked' collection of related values in the sub-resource. This allows you to do joins across MongoDB-to-MongoDB, MongoDB to SQL, SQL to MongoDB, and MongoDB to external REST for a blended mix and match of complex endpoints. Note the Syntax of the Join is expressed as a MongoDB expression: {department_name: "<name>"} where <name> is passed from the department collection.
Attach PathIn the example above - when we join a MongoDB collection - we need to tell the Resource logic where to insert this sub-resource collection. If the name is unique; then the result is a new attribute array with the result. If the name is an existing attribute array - the collection is inserted inside that array.
This optional field can specify which keys (or attributes) should be included in the MongoDB resource.A simple example: if your Mongo resource has attributes
age and
balance, and you want to include only attributes name and balance, you can use either:
{name: 1, balance: 1}or you specify the opposite, i.e. do not include the age attribute:
{age: 0}This field can actually do quite a bit more than that -- it is passed to MongoDB as the second parameter of the
find method. For instance, you could use Mongo's projection capabilities, e.g. :
{ coordinates: {$slice: 2}}which would return only the first values from the array named "coordinates".
This is a way to specify additional filtering on the resource, e.g. if you want to restrict the rows that should be returned by the resource.For SQL resources, this should simply be a fragment of a where expression;
For MongoDB resources, you should use the Mongo syntax:
amount_total < 1000 and paid = 'Y'
{"$and": [{"$lt": {"amount_total": 1000}}, {"paid": "Y"}]}

Adding Request/Response events to MongoDB
Using the Espresso Logic additional pre-and post-event handling services can be added for your MongoDB resources. Event handling begins with incoming requests - the Logic Design Studio offers a JavaScript editor and access to internal request state information (e.g. a GET, PUT, POST, DELETE).
See Request Events page for samples.
A Resource Row Event is a piece of JavaScript that gets executed every time a row is retrieved from the database for a specific resource or sub-resource.
This JavaScript code can then manipulate the row. See this link for more details: row event
Business logic is triggered by PUT, POST, and DELETE changes to SQL data only which in turn can call MongoDB resources to include in calculations, validations, constraints, and decision support.
Using Resources in Business Rules
In the blended architecture of the cloud - companies are turning to tools like MongoDB to build part of their new web and mobile strategy.
Authentication and Access Control
Espresso Logic offers multiple authentication services including: LDAP, Windows Azure AD, and Stormpath. In addition, the Role-Based Access Control service feature gives fine-grain control to determine who can see which resource based on role assignment.
Advanced access to MongoDB using JavaScript
The native MongoDB Java driver can be used to write advanced (native) JavaScript. In this example, we get the orders for a specific customer (containingRow) and passing this to MongoDB directly and returning the JSON response. Espresso Logic has add a JavaScript wrapper library around the MongoDB Java driver to make the process of using JavaScript easier. See the MongoUtility link.
MongoDB and JDBC (Experimental)
There are several JDBC drivers that can connect to MongoDB and perform selects, joins, order by, group by, and filtered where clauses. This example is shown using one of these drivers. The JDBC driver is loaded using the Project/Library upload facility to add new driver JAR files and optionally any JavaScript into the system. This example is using a JDBC driver to connect to MongoDB and execute an SQL query with a where clause. The JDBC driver can also do joins, sorts, column selection and some drivers allow selection into nested arrays (e.g Customer.Orders.Items.PartNum = 12345);

I have been painting bikes and cyclists since 2005. It started with a single painting of my favorite, local coffee shop in San Anselmo, where all the cyclists and mt. bikes would begin their Saturday rides. The town banded together to purchase my painting for the shop owner. My personal love of biking and cycling has kept me painting scenes with bikes since then. I also have done the occassional graphic/fun digital bike art on the iPad, which you can order as prints here.

LockWhen Bernard Laporte ushered in his new era the 'Kaiser' turned to the experienced Toulouse player - initially as skipper although he has now given way to Galthie. Pelous is very mobile with good all-round ball skills and agreat turn of foot. He missed the autumn wins over SouthAfrica, Australia and Fiji through injury and that's why Galthie has the captaincy. But he has been in superb form this season and will be the most experienced French player having won 61 caps.
Scrum Half
The 32-year-old Stade Francais player has bags of international experience and Bernard Laporte turned to him as captain as he started moulding a new team. Talented and competitive, he has done a brilliant job marshallingFrance's young talent and led his country to impressive autumn wins over South Africa and Australia.
Fly Half
This 19-year-old from Stade Toulouse could not have had a more spectacularfull debut for Les Bleus, pulling the strings in the gripping win over theAussies in Marseilles last autumn. He missed a couple of place kicks on theday but Laporte may well gamble on him ahead of the steadier GeraldMerceron in the Paris opener against Italy.
Bernard Laporte has not been frightened to give youth its head or play foreigners if they can qualify for France. New Zealand-born Tony Marsh is in the squad along with South African prop Peter De Villiers and lock Steve Hall. Marsh proved atough character on his debut in the 20-10 victory overthe Springboks and should be a Six nations starter.
The 25-year-old Montferrand player is quick, good in support and prides himself on a watertight defence - just the qualities Bernard Laporte admires. Still vying for a place with Xavier Garbajosa for a spot on the wing but should add to his 11 caps.
Another 16st-plus winger for defenders to deal with and has already been dubbed the 'French Jonah Lomu'. One of a crop of talented youngsters unleashed in the autumn internationals by Laporte, the 21-year-old Montferrand player looks a world-class prospect. Scored two tries in the avalanche against Fiji and impressed against the Springboks and Wallabies. With his size and power can punch holes in any defence. AskNorthampton whom he beat almost single-handed in the Heineken Cup.

"I'm sorry, Jared," I whispered with what breath I had left. The demon in front of me leaned forward, while the demon possessing Jared loosened his grip slightly.
"What—" Jared asked and I used the last of my strength I stepped back around Jared's legs so that my hips were behind his, then elbowed him as hard as I could in the gut, sending him tumbling back over my extended knee. He gasped, all of his breath being forced out, and I was free of his arm. I sprinted as fast as I could while hyperventilating and dodged around a false wall near the edge.
"Go after her!" the old man shouted. "Don't let her get away!"
I leaned against the wall, sucking in deep, wonderful breaths of stale air. I looked down at my hands before remembering that I had dropped my gun. I groaned, weaponless, and peeked around the side of the wall to try and get a clear picture. I still needed to kill the demon, somehow.
The old man was still in the circle, and I was suddenly struck with an idea. I couldn't see where Jared was, though, and that worried me. I quickly calculated the distance between where I was and the chalk near the circle. I clenched my jaw. It would be very close, and I wasn't entirely sure I could pull it off, but it was all I could think of. I just hoped that it worked, because if it didn't then I had killed one of the two closest to me.
I heard a footstep behind me and as I turned to see Jared coming around the wall on the other side, he fired my gun at me. I ducked instinctively, but the bullet grazed my arm. Left with no choice, I raced back around the wall and ran the thirty feet to the circle.
I skidded onto my knees when I got close enough, snatched the chalk, and with one swift movement I fixed the mar in the circle. The old man screeched at me angrily, but I ignored him as I began chanting. I clambered to my feet while I spoke, moving around to put the man between me and Jared as he chased after me and tried to shoot me more.
As I got close I grabbed the spike from where I had dropped it and held it at the ready. The moment the demon was safely encased in the man it was going to die.
Jared circled around, trying to get a clear shot at me, but I continued to move. I watched him carefully. The closer I got to finishing the spell the more he shook. I swallowed hard during a quick pause, then shouted the last three words of the spell.
Jared screamed, loud and long, as the darkness exploded out of his eyes and sped back into the old man's body. He continued screaming, his body bent backwards, until the last shred of void was all the way into the man, then he collapsed onto the ground, unmoving.
Before the old man could move out of my range, I slammed the stake directly into his chest. The man screamed, and I pounded my fist against the end of the stake, forcing it in further. Blood went everywhere, getting all down my front, but all I could think about was killing the evil thing. I pounded it one last time, and the man's scream choked off. He crumpled to the ground. I stepped on the spike, pushing it until it wouldn't go any farther, just in case. Then I stumbled backwards and fell to the floor, exhausted.
Chest heaving, I wiped blood from my face and leaned my head against my knee. It was finished. The demon was done for.
When I had recovered my breath I shifted to my hands and knees and crawled to where Jared lay. I tried to prepare myself for the worse. I had hoped that since only a part of the demon had gotten into him, then when it was forced out he wouldn't have died, but I didn't know if it worked. His body didn't stir and for one painful moment I thought he was dead. I felt panic building in my chest, creating a lump in my throat and bringing tears to my eyes.
Then I saw his chest move ever so slightly up and down with his shallow breath. I let out a harsh breath. He was alive. I looked him carefully up and down, checking for any damage. I knew that he would have a very sore stomach from the elbowing I had given him, since I had felt one like it before, but I couldn't see anything.
I brushed his shoulder gently and tried to wake him up, but he didn't respond. Worried, I moved to lift his head into my lap, where he would be more comfortable. To my horror the back of his head felt sticky and when I pulled my hand back out it was covered in hot blood.
I turned his head sideways to look and found the entire back of his head soaked in blood. I swore, something I don't normally do, and realized that when he had collapsed he had smacked his head against the cement harder than the human head is built to withstand.
Panicking again, I raced out to my car, ignoring the white dodge parked next to it, and hurried back with the first aid kit I had tucked behind the driver's seat. I quickly bound his head with an ace bandage.
After I had gathered up everything of mine and dumped it into the trunk of my car, I struggled to drag Jared's limp, and heavy, body outside. Once I had gotten him into the passenger seat, with a lot of effort and elbow grease, I left the warehouse in the dust and drove back to the hospital.

The University of Louisville football team is loaded with veterans and talent.
The Cardinals have some name guys, like Lamar Jackson, Keith Kelsey and Devonte Fields, who should be the leaders on and off the field this season, which begins on Thursday night against Charlotte.
But there will also be a few surprise players give key contributions.
The staff at Cardinal Authority believes we know a few of those players. With this piece, we take a look at five guys who could surprise this season for the Cardinals.
Dee Smith, Sophomore, Safety
One of two Smith's on this list, Dee Smith played in 10 games last season as a true freshman and had one interception. He's going to find his way onto the field because he's a player folks. Smith will mix and match with Josh Harvey-Clemons, Zykiesis Cannon and Chucky Williams and play different positions in the secondary. Smith is physical and has great coverage skills.
Jeremy Smith, Junior, Running Back
This Smith is one of a few guys in the stable of backs who will get a shot to run the ball. We think Smith's improvement in pass blocking and catching the ball out of the backfield will get him more snaps. He'll have a couple of big games.
Jonathan Greenard, Redshirt Freshman, Linebacker
We have heard a lot about the play of Jonathan Greenard in spring practice and also in fall camp. He'll be the backup to Devonte Fields and won't get as many snaps as a starter but he's still going to make a contribution. He has all the skills to be an all-conference guy down the road.
Kiola Mahoni, Senior, Offensive Line
The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Kiola Mahoni was up and down last season but not in fall camp. He's going to be one of the key members of the line, playing a lot of snaps and helping the line with communication. We expect a huge season.
Keith Towbridge, Senior, Tight End
A lot of chatter about Cole Hikutini from the tight end position heading into the season, but senior Keith Towbridge has been really good in fall camp and is finally 100 percent healthy. He wasn't healthy last season and missed time in the spring and summer after the same surgery as Devante Parker on his foot. Towbridge is known more as a blocker, but will get some targets from Lamar Jackson.

New Delhi, Oct. 1 : Afghanistan's economic growth is hindered by insecurity and the ongoing conference in Delhi titled 'South Asia Economic Conclave' gave an opportunity to discuss ways to enhance trade and investment in the war-torn country.
Decades of war in Afghanistan have brought economic instability in the region and the ongoing conference titled 'South Asia Economic Conclave' in Delhi laid an opportunity for the war-torn country to discuss ways to improve intra-regional trade and investment.
Afghanistan has abundant resources. However, the country is unable to exploit it.
Being a landlocked country, connectivity is also the biggest hindrance in carrying out trade in the South Asian region.
The ongoing TAPI (Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India Pipeline) project did not progress well. The territorial issues between India, Pakistan and Afghanistan are not allowing regional integration for trade.
Zabihullah Ziarmal, who heads a Kabul-based trading and logistic firm, said that security and stability will create market not only in Afghanistan but across South Asia.
"In Afghanistan and Pakistan, what is confronting promotion of trade and investment is the insecurity and the political instability and also the terrorism which is the bigger challenge," said Ziarmal, CEO, Cefe Group International, Afghanistan.
Although insecurity and war has crippled the growth of Afghanistan. However, the country appeals to take risk by private sectors to invest in the war-torn nation.
"If the South Asian countries wish to bring the political stability at the macro-economic level, the South Asian countries specifically the bigger players of the South Asian region, India and Pakistan the biggest economy of the eight South Asian countries need to be honest and to put specific policy and procedures on the ground," said Ziarmal.
The importance of economic integration is vital for the growth of the South Asian region and helping each other will improve to rise on the global standards.

We have used x-ray diffraction to assess the thickness dependence of strain in molecular-beam epitaxial (MBE) CdTe(211)/Ge(211). For 25-nm-thick layers, we find tensile stress of 100 MPa and in-plane strain of ~1.5 × 10−3. This stress relaxes during growth and becomes zero beyond 1 μm. We use the Dunn and Koch formula to estimate the threading dislocation density from the full-width at half-maximum of the (224) rocking curve. We then estimate the annihilation radius of MBE-grown CdTe(211)B/Ge(211) to be ~10 nm. Our layers have etch pit densities between 5 × 107 cm−2 and 5 × 106 cm−2 for a thickness of 10 μm. The lowest densities were obtained by periodic annealing epitaxy. We discuss mechanisms for the saturation of the dislocation density.

|Re: Setting Path for properties file
|Wed, 21 Aug 2002 21:46:59 GMT
Jillian -- Instead of loading the properties from the file, you can load it dynamically as a system resource, then pass the InputStream into a new Properties object. This way, you'll be able to load the properties file from anywhere in the classpath instead of just a hardcoded logical path in the filesystem. For example: this.getClass().loadResourceAsStream("/my.props"); Properties props = new Properties(inStream); The properties file will be loaded by the ClassLoader associated with your webapp, so you'll have to put the props file in a directory that that ClassLoader can access. I've never tried it, but I would think you could just place it in the WEB-INF/lib directory (can anyone confirm/refute?) directly. If not, you could always jar it up and place it there. justin At 02:19 PM 8/21/2002, you wrote: >I am using a properties file for my Java Beans/classes to reference >directly.

Opposition fuels talk of early election
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's minority Conservative government came under attack from two opposition parties on Monday over its ethical problems, increasing speculation that the country is heading for an early election.
The Conservatives, who have had five largely trouble-free years in office under Prime Minister Stephen Harper, are now stumbling from one mishap to another.
The opposition Liberals and New Democrats regularly accuse Harper of abuse of power and blast the government's spending policies, leading one polling firm to speculate on Monday that Canada was on the brink of a general election.
Although polls show the Conservatives would easily win a fresh election -- likely with another minority -- opposition legislators clearly feel confident they can benefit from missteps by a government that came to power in early 2006 promising to clean up politics.
The Conservatives need the support of at least one opposition party to pass the budget, which will be presented on March 22. If all three opposition parties vote against it, the government will be defeated and an election will be called, possibly for early May.
Last week, House of Commons Speaker Peter Milliken rebuked the government for refusing to say how much it would spend on prisons. He also condemned a Conservative minister for misleading Parliament.
The main opposition Liberal Party, which has already made it clear it will vote against the budget, said Harper had lost his moral compass.
"This was the guy who came into ... town on a horse called Accountability. Unfortunately, he put the horse down," senior Liberal legislator David McGuinty told reporters on Monday. Continued...

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - April 25, 1985, New Braunfels, Texas Bail bond board seen as problem-solverBy LILLIAN THOMAS Staff writer County officials are looking into the creation of a bail bond board after hearing about problems in the current system. County officials met this morning to discuss the issue. "There are practices going on that a bail bond board and only it could deal with," County Attorney Bill Reimer said. "For instance some bail bondsmen direct their clients to a particular attorney. Then attorneys come in and answer for a person (a name gotten from the bondsman) who hasn't shown up when in reality the attorney has never seen that person." District Judge Robert Pfeuffer said, "You mean we have bondsmen acting as attorneys then. I bet no judge knew that was going on." Under the current system the sheriff has sole authority to approve any bond. But the state makes no guidelines for the sheriff to follow. A bail bond board, however, must follow criteria for licensing bondsmen and has some discretion to set its own policies, Reimer said. "The courts have the right to cause one bond forfeiture, but not to tell the sheriff that that bondsman cannot operate because he has too many forfeitures. But a bail bond board could do that," Reimer explained. County Judge Fred Clark, however, felt that with cooperation among the county officals, a lot of the abuses could be handled. "I see no reason just to create something unless it has got some real purpose," Clark said. "Can't the sheriff right now turn down anyone he wants? All we need to do is get the information to him when a forfeited bond has not been paid, as Judge Pfeuffer said, that guy has used up his credit until it has been paid off." But by the end of the meeting the county judge had heard enough to decide to look into the problem and possibly create a board. "I think as we get bigger we need something in place that will keep abuses from happening," District Attorney Bill Schroeder said. "We don't have a terrible problem yet, but there is room for abuse in the present system. We also waste a lot of time trying to deal with bond forfeitures." A bail bond board has to be created by specific county officials, not the commissioners court, Clark pointed out. A petition signed by several county officials requested county commissioners to create a bail bond board. The board would be able to check criminal backgrounds of potential bondsmen. Regulations stipulate that no felons may be licensed bondsmen. Hays County created a bail bond board several years ago but since then the board has gone defunct, Pfeuffer said. "One reason for it is that they tried to not license someone because of his background and the person ended up threatening to sue them.

Burcham. a retired train engineer who pinned hopes for an extended life on an experimental artificial heart, died IO days after his unplant when a large amount of blood in his chest cavity inhibited his heart's pumping, his doctors said today. Dr. Allan M. lansing, medical spokesman for the Humana Hospital Audubon implant team, said Bur-cham's condition had deteriorated rapidly beginning late Wednesday afternoon He died at 9:40 p m. after his left lung filled wth blood, lansing said. Doctors initially did not know the specific cause of death, he said, but an autopsy identified a large "jelly-like" clot around the artificial heart. The upper chambers of his heart were remnants of his own natural organ. The lower chambers were made up by the plastic and metal device. "The cause for the sudden deterioration was compression of the upper left chamber of the heart by the blood clot within a confined space," tensing said, adding that the condition is known as cardiac tamponade. The condition normally would show up much earlier than it did rn Burcham 's case but the rigidity of the plastic-and-metal heart masked the problem for a while, lansing said. The source of the bleeding is still not known, lansing said. Burcham, 62, of la Roy, IIL, was the fifth and oldest recipient of a permanent artificial heart.

Page 12A Nursing program losing battle in Austin The future of New Braunfels ISD's vocational nursing program appears to be in jeopardy, as an attempt to restore state funding for the program has failed. An appropriation bill rider that would have restored funding to the remaining nine school district Ucensed Vocational Nursing (LVN) programs, including New Braunfels ISD's, was defeated in the Texas House Appropriations Committee last week. Rep. Edmund Kuempel (R-Seguin), who wrote the appropriation rider and tried to steer it through committee, said, "The move (to delete the rider) came when a review of the original bill took place. Unfortunately, our side lost the vote. "Hopefully, this is a temporary setback and the rider will be added during the floor debate." The Texas Education Agency has taken the stand that LVN programs belong in community colleges and for several years has been reducing the number of LVN programs in school districts, Leland Cox, vocational administrator with the school district, said. Even with the appropriations rider, all nine remaining programs will have to be administered by a community college. In the meantime, without the independent funding, the LVN program will continue through vocational education money. But the program then have to compete with other vocational programs for funding, Superintendent Charles Bradberry explained. Given the financial climate in many school districts, some of programs may not last through 1987. "Ours will still have funding, but it is not a very secure future," the superintendent said. Bradberry said there was little chance of keeping the program as it is now. "The second best choice would be to transfer the administration to a community college, but the students stay here for the courses and the training in our local hospitals and healthcare facilities,'' he said. TEA's philosophy aside, the LVN program at New Braunfels 1SD has a better track record than community colleges and the community needs trained nurses, Bradberry said. Tile passing rate of New Braunfels graduates on the LVN board exam is 98.6 percent, Cox said. 'The program began in 1968. in the last IO years we have graduated 358 students and out of that only five failed the exam," Cox said. The graduates of St. Phillips College's LVN program in San Antonio averages 85-95 percent passing rate, Ella Styles with the LVN program at St. Phillips said. The cost to students both in transportation and tuition is cheaper in the school district program, Ann See NURSING, Page 12A House sinks Nicaragua aid plan despite Presidential lobbying WASHINGTON (AP) - The Democrat-led House, after two days of bitter debate and dramatic votes, has left President Reagan's policy of aiding Nicaraguan rebels in a shambles, killing all active proposals for resuming U.S. assistance this fiscal year. Despite presidential lobbying, the House on Wednesday defeated a Republican alternative for $14 million in non-lethal aid by two votes, 215-213. Republicans then joined with liberal Democrats to kill a moderate Democratic alternative, 303-123. House Majority Leader Jim Wright, D-Texas, said he hoped the bill's defeat would give both the leftist Nicaraguan government and the Reagan administration a "good little breathing spell that might give both sides (the United States and Nicaragua) a cooling-off period." But Reagan declared that he had no intention to give up and planned to "return to the Congress again and again to seek a policy that supports peace and democracy in Nicaragua. ... Our friends in Central America look to us for help against totalitarianism." The president added that the House vote "damages national security and foreign policy goals." House Republicans said they might try to revive aid to the rebels before the current fiscal year ends Sept. 30 and would definitely seek approval of Reagan's request for $28 million in military support for the rebels in fiscal 1986, which starts Oct. I. House Minority Whip Trent Lett, R-Mis8., said the Republicans voted against the Democratic alternative, even though it contained $10 million for Nicaraguan refugees, because it SM NICARAGUA, Page IZA Canyon Lake release cut to 476 cfs The rains came, the lake level rose, and the Guadalupe River flowed. But since it's been about two weeks since the last good rain, the outflow from Canyon Dam was adjusted earlier this week to compensate for the decreased inflow. The Corps of Engineers cut the flow from 837 cubic feet per second at noon Tuesday, said David Welsch, with the Corps of Engineers. Today's flow is 476 cfs. "We asked for 500 (cfs), but that's what we got," Welsch said. "We had less water coming into the reservoir. "We had some rains earlier, but it's been a couple of weeks since we had good rains and the flows are reduced," Welsch said. "The release is going to vary according to the flow into the reservoir. "When the flows are reduced, the release is reduced," he said. "It's ready that simple" Welsch said the Corps office will wait for another good flow into the lake before raising the outflow level again.

That's what street crews are doing as they round up trash during the city-wide garbage clean-up, which ends Tuesday. Crews this week trucked 108 loads of garbage to the dump, totaling 119 tons. Add that to the previous two weeks' worth of garbage, and crews have taken 396 loads to the dump for a grand total of 796.7 tons. Public works director Fred Ryden said the hauls consist mainly of old plumbing fixtures, such as sinks and bathtubs; old furniture; dog houses; refrigerators; barbecue pits; parts of storage buildings; and pound upon pound of metal and siding, brush and limbs. Monday crews will pick up trash east of the Guadalupe River and north of Broadway and Post; while Tuesday's crews will go east of the Guadalupe River and south of Broadway and Post.

text: Home Gallery Video The Guardian Own The Weekend The Guardian: Own The Weekend Trademarked. Published on Jan 10, 2013 Editor's Pick The Guardian and BBH London follow up on last year's blockbuster "Three Little Pigs" spot with another blockbuster -- of a different kind. Tim Godsall of Biscuit Filmworks directs "Own The Weekend," an amazing three-minute long film made up of every Jerry Bruckheimer/Hollywood preview trope possible, all to tell you just one thing: The company now owns the consecutive two days that were formerly known as The Weekend. The film, which will be a major part of the Guardian's 2013 marketing strategy, is fronted by Hugh Grant, who wasn't paid for his participation in the campaign, possibly his way of supporting any news organization that isn't News Corp., considering his involvement in exposing that company's phone-hacking scandal in 2011. When asked about the details as to Grant's waived fee, a Guardian News and Media Spokesperson said, "That's a question for Hugh Grant, but he was happy to do this without payment as a fan of our newspapers." The premise of the campaign is that the Saturday Guardian and The Observer do such amazing, varied journalistic work over the weekend, they basically "own it." And we don't just mean they own the mornings, when you nurse your hangover with a cup of coffee and some newsprint. No, they own all of it, from its weather, to the time you spend outside with your kids, to Sunday night's romantic dinner for two. It's a complete departure from "The Whole Picture," which marked the Guardian's first brand positioning in 25 years. The film will run in its glorious three-minute form online, and will be shown via 60-second and 30-second cuts in cinemas and on VOD. There will also be OOH and print components.

As Mark Whitaker was about to graduate Harvard, diploma and a Marshall Scholarship to Oxford in hand, his father gave him some memorable advice: ?Beware of what you ask for, because you might just get it.?
The context here is important, as Whitaker relates in his fascinating new book, ?My Long Trip Home? (Simon & Schuster), which is both a memoir of a poor, mixed-race boy who becomes a classic American success story and a painful recounting of a troubled childhood haunted by a brilliant but self-destructive father.
Seeing his son graduate from one of America?s elite colleges, C.S. Whitaker urged him to try business and law, but Mark Whitaker would have none of it: He had walked into a newsroom for a summer internship at Newsweek and was smitten. A higher-up even suggested that he could be a senior editor one day.
?And what did you say to that?? his father asked.
?I told him, why not the top editor?? he replied.
And that youthful bravado prompted the graduation day advice.
But here?s the thing: He got it. Whitaker became editor of Newsweek in 1998, the first African American to head a major newsweekly. He then went on to be the Washington bureau chief for NBC News, and now, as managing editor of CNN, occupies an inviting office in the Time Warner building, with breathtaking views of Manhattan?s Central Park. At 54 years old, not only has he achieved the professional success that he wished for, but he has also found the family and community that he desperately missed in his itinerant, struggling adolescence.
And to his surprise, he found it with Jews.
There?s a ?generational fittingness? ? his words ? to this part of his story, which he relates in an interview with The Forward after a long workday: ?My grandpapa saved Jews; I married a Jew, and I?m raising my children as Jews.?
Whitaker?s book is propelled by a process of discovery. A year after his father died, Whitaker awoke early one morning and realized that he wanted to be a journalist reporting on his own life; to better understand his parents, especially his father. His mother, Jeanne Theis, was the eldest of eight girls. Her father ? the grandpapa that Whitaker references ? did, indeed, help save the Jews, famously so. Edouard Theis was the assistant pastor in the French Protestant village of Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, which bravely created a sort of underground railroad for Jews and other refugees fleeing Nazi rule during World War II.
Learning more about his French roots when he spent a year in Le Chambon as a teenager helped Whitaker appreciate how courageously his family had fought persecution, because as French Protestants, they already felt like outsiders in a defiantly Catholic country.
His mother and five of her sisters were sent to America during the war, and she was raised in Swarthmore, Pa., where she eventually became a professor of French at Swarthmore College. That was where she met C.S. Whitaker ? known as Syl ? one of very few African-American students on that campus in the 1950s. A descendant of slaves, raised in Pittsburgh, and both fiercely smart and utterly charming, Syl Whitaker was unafraid to break convention, which he surely did by marrying a white woman who happened to be on the faculty.
Whitaker?s parents? bitter divorce, his father?s philandering and alcoholism, and his mother?s struggle to support her two sons all made for a painful childhood that left him thirsting for communal connection. He began to find it at Harvard, through a close friend who was a devout Zionist.
?I felt this incredible sense of solidarity with Israel, a sense of it being a piece of the family history,? he said. ?Coming from two different traditions of being persecuted ? black and French Protestant ? I thought that Jews taking responsibility for themselves in the aftermath of one of the worst atrocities in human history showed great determination.?
But it wasn?t until Whitaker met and married Alexis Gelber, also a journalist, that he solidified his connection to Jews and Judaism. They found a wonderful rabbi who agreed to marry them, an interfaith couple, as long as they promised to raise their children ?with a clear knowledge of what it meant to be Jewish.? They found a welcoming synagogue in Manhattan with a Jewish day school that both of his children attended through sixth grade. Photographs of his marriage under a chuppah and of his mother at his daughter?s bat mitzvah are included in the book.
He wonders aloud about converting someday.
And he especially relishes the Jewish sense of humor. ?I was looking for some laughter and levity in life, and a lot of Jewish friends I made in college were hilarious. Smart. Irreverent,? he remembered. ?They are very motivated to make it, to be a mainstream success, but they still have an outsider perspective and a sense of humor about it. A lot of my black friends have it, too.?
That?s the larger point that Whitaker hopes he has made in his book and by the way he conducts his life, another lesson he learned from his father: not to be confined by race, or religion, or nationality.
?When I wrote this memoir, I was worried that people would be either upset or confused by the notion that I wasn?t definitely declaring I was one thing or another,? he said. ?In fact, I find that people are intrigued. This is increasingly the American story: We?re all mixed one way or another.?
