Bienheureux Juniper
franciscain missionnaire en Californie (✝ 1784)
Franciscain, le frère Juniper Michaël Serra a transmis la lumière du Christ en Californie, aux pauvres et aux humbles.
À Monterey en Californie, en 1784, le bienheureux Juniper (Michel Serra), prêtre franciscain. Malgré beaucoup de fatigues et d'épreuves, il prêcha l'Évangile aux tribus de cette région encore païennes dans leur propre langue et défendit avec beaucoup de force les droits des pauvres et des humbles.
Martyrologe romain
Le Bienheureux Jupinero Serra
Le Père de la Californie
Le Bienheureux Jupinero Serra est considéré comme le père de la Californie et, à ce titre, il jouit d'une réputation bien méritée, comme l'un des pionniers des Etats Unis. Sa statue monumentale est érigée à Washington, devant le capitale - pourtant, il ne vint que tardivement en Californie, qu'il organisa comme une Mission modèle, mais il a laissé la plus grande partie de son ministère missionnaire au Mexique.
De l'Espagne au Nouveau Monde
Michel-Joseph Serra est né le 24 novembre 1713 à Petra, village de l'île de Majorque. Dès son jeune âge, il fréquenta le couvent Franciscain de Saint Bernardin, à Petra, et entra au noviciat des Frères Mineurs le 14 septembre 1730, au Couvent de de Jésus de Palma de Majorque. Il y fit profession un an plus tard et reçut le nom de Junipero. Assez doué pour les études, il effectua son cursus d'études cléricales au Couvent Royal Saint François de Palma de Majorque, puis à l'Université Lulliène de Palma où il obtint le titre de Docteur en Théologie, puis il fut chargé d'une chaire de doctrine Scotiste.
En 1749, il demanda l'autorisation de partir comme Missionnaire Apostolique en Nouvelle Espagne, (actuel Mexique). Il reçut en fin d'année l'autorisation du Commissaire Général des Indes, et partit pour Mexico. Il était âgé de 36 ans quand il atteignit le port de Vera Cruz, puis la ville de Mexico, en décembre 1749. Pendant 17 années, il évangélisa les populations Indiennes, avec beaucoup de zèle, de Charité et d'efficacité, ne ménageant ni sa peine, ni la mise en oeuvre de ses qualités d'organisateur.
Les Missions Californiennes
En 1767, les Missionnaires Jésuites ayant du quitter les Missions qu'ils avaient fondées en Amérique Latine, Frère Jupinero fut chargé d'administrer les 14 Missions de Basse-Californie (Californie Mexicaine). Mais peu après, les rivalités politiques entre l'Espagne, l'Amérique et la Russie (qui s'établissait en Alaska), provoquèrent une expédition Espagnole en Haute Californie, et Junipero fit chargé d'y fonder des Missions Catholiques. Il commença près de l'actuelle frontière Mexicaine, en fondant la Mission de San Diego d'Alcala, qui est à l'origine de l'actuelle ville de San Diego (Etats Unis).
On lui attribue l'évangélisation et le Baptême d'un dixième de la population Indienne de la Californie. Ayant beaucoup marché à pied durant toute sa vie missionnaire, il imagina la création de postes Missionnaires à une journée de marche les uns des autres (environ tous les 30 kilomètres), le long de la côte Californienne (de San Diego à San Francisco). C'est pourquoi, l'on trouve encore, de nos jours, les principales villes, le long de la côte, portent les noms des missions fondée par Junipero, ou par ses collaborateurs. Ces noms étaient tirés du sanctiral Franciscain. Il fonda lui-même, près de 8 Missions, dont celle de San Juan de Capistrano, en 1776, année de l'Indépendance de l'Amérique.
Il mourut dans la Mission de San Juan Carlos, à Carmel, le 28 août 1784, mission où il fut inhumé. La Californie Franciscaine comptait 21 Misssions, portant la plupart des noms de Saints Franciscains, dont, par exemple Notre Dame des Anges, actuelle Los Angelès, en hommage à Sainte Marie des Anges, sanctuaire situé à Assise et berceau de la Famille Franciscaine.
Frère Jupinero Serra fut béatifié par le Serviteur de Dieu Jean Paul II le 25 septembre 1988, à Rome. De nos jours, l'Université de San Diego entretient sa mémoire et a suscité un grand nombre d'études sur l'oeuvre missionnaire du Bienheureux Jupinero Serra. Les "Missions de Californie" sont aujourd'hui des sites touristiques très fréquentés par les Américains en quête de retrouver leur racines. Quelques Missions anciennes sont aujourd'hui réoccupées par les Franciscains, comme les Missions de San Diego d'Alcala, San Luis Reis, ou Santa Barbara.

Portraits du Bienheureux Jupinero Serra
Blessed Junipero Serra
In 1776, when the American revolution was beginning in the east, another part of the future United States was being born in California. That year a gray-robed Franciscan founded Mission San Juan Capistrano, now famous for its annually returning swallows. San Juan was the seventh of nine missions established under the direction of this indomitable Spaniard. Born on Spain's island of Mallorca, Serra entered the Franciscan Order, taking the name of Saint Francis' childlike companion, Brother Juniper. Until he was thirty-five, he spent most of his time in the classroom-first as a student of theology and then as a professor. He also became famous for his preaching. Suddenly he gave it all up and followed the yearning that had begun years before when he heard about the missionary work of Saint Francis Solanus in South America. Junipero's desire was to convert native peoples in the New World.
Arriving by ship at Vera Cruz, Mexico, he and a companion walked the 250 miles to Mexico City. On the way Junipero's left leg became infected by an insect bite and would remain a cross, often life-threatening, the rest of his life. For eighteen years he worked in central Mexico and in the Baja Peninsula. He became president of the missions there.
Charles III of Spain ordered an expedition to beat Russia to the territory. So the last two conquistadores-one military, one spiritual-began their quest. Jose de Galvez persuaded Junipero to set out with him for present-day Monterey, California. The first mission founded after the nine-hundred-mile journey north was San Diego (1769). That year a shortage of food almost canceled the expedition. Vowing to stay with the local people, Junipero and another friar began a novena in preparation for Saint Joseph's day, March 19, the scheduled day of departure. On that day, the relief ship arrived.
Other missions followed: Monterey/Carmel (1770); San Antonio and San Gabriel (1771); San Luis Obispo (1772); San Francisco and San Juan Capistrano (1776); Santa Clara (1777); San Buenaventura (1782). Twelve more were founded after Serra's death.
Junipero made the long trip to Mexico City to settle great differences with the military commander. He arrived at the point of death. The outcome was substantially what Junipero sought: the famous "Regulation" protecting the Indians and the missions. It was the basis for the first significant legislation in California, a "Bill of Rights" for Native Americans.
Because the Native Americans were living a nonhuman life from the Spanish point of view, the friars were made their legal guardians. The Native Americans were kept at the mission after Baptism lest they be corrupted in their former haunts — a move that has brought cries of "injustice" from some moderns.
Junipero's missionary life was a long battle with cold and hunger, with unsympathetic military commanders and even with danger of death from non-Christian native peoples. Through it all his unquenchable zeal was fed by prayer each night, often from midnight until dawn. He baptized over six thousand people and confirmed five thousand. His travels would have circled the globe. He brought the Native Americans not only the gift of faith but also a decent standard of living. He won their love, as witnessed especially by their grief at his death. He is buried at Mission San Carlo Borromeo, Carmel, and was beatified in 1988.
Junípero Serra
Born at Petra, Island of Majorca, 24 November, 1713; died at Monterey, California, 28 August, 1784.
On 14 September, 1730, he entered the Franciscan Order. For his proficiency in studies he was appointed lectorof philosophy before his ordination to the priesthood. Later he received the degree of Doctor of Theology from the Lullian University at Palma, where he also occupied the Duns Scotus chair of philosophy until he joined the missionary college of San Fernando, Mexico (1749). While traveling on foot from Vera Cruz to the capital, he injured his leg in such a way that he suffered from it throughout his life, though he continued to make his journeys on foot whenever possible. At his own request he was assigned to the Sierra Gorda Indian Missionssome thirty leagues north of Querétaro. He served there for nine years, part of the time as superior, learned the language of the Pame Indians, and translated the catechism into their language. Recalled to Mexico, he became famous as a most fervent and effective preacher of missions. His zeal frequently led him to employ extraordinary means in order to move the people to penance. He would pound his breast with a stone while in the pulpit, scourge himself, or apply a lighted torch to his bare chest. In 1767 he was appointed superior of a band of fifteenFranciscans for the Indian Missions of Lower California. Early in 1769 he accompanied Portolá's land expedition to Upper California. On the way (14 May) he established the Mission San Fernando de Velicatá, Lower California. He arrived at San Diego on 1 July, and on 16 July founded the first of the twenty-one California missions which accomplished the conversions of all the natives on the coast as far as Sonoma in the north. Those established by Father Serra or during his administration were San Carlos (3 June, 1770); San Antonio (14 July, 1771); San Gabriel (8 September, 1771); San Luis Obispo (1 September, 1772); San Francisco de Asis (8 October, 1776); San Juan Capistrano (1 Nov. 1776); Santa Clara (12 January, 1777); San Buenaventura (31 March, 1782). He was also present at the founding of the presidio of Santa Barbara (21 April, 1782), and was prevented from locating the mission there at the time only through the animosity of Governor Philipe de Neve. Difficulties with Pedro Fages, the military commander, compelled Father Serra in 1773 to lay the case before Viceroy Bucareli. At the capital of Mexico, by order of the viceroy, he drew up his "Representación" in thirty-two articles. Everythingsave two minor points was decided in his favour; he then returned to California, late in 1774. In 1778 he received the faculty to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation. After he had exercised his privilege for a year, Governor Neve directed him to suspend administering the sacrament until he could present the papal Brief. For nearly two years Father Serra refrained, and then Viceroy Majorga gave instructions to the effect that Father Serra was within his rights. During the remaining three years of his life he once more visited the missions fromSan Diego to San Francisco, six hundred miles, in order to confirm all who had been baptized. He suffered intensely from his crippled leg and from his chest, yet he would use no remedies. He confirmed 5309 persons, who, with but few exceptions, were Indians converted during the fourteen years from 1770. Besides extraordinary fortitude, his most conspicuous virtues were insatiable zeal, love of mortification, self-denial, andabsolute confidence in God. His executive abilities has been especially noted by non-Catholic writers. The esteem in which his memory is held by all classes in California may be gathered from the fact that Mrs. Stanford, not aCatholic, had a granite monument erected to him at Monterey. A bronze statue of heroic size represents him as the apostolic preacher in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. In 1884 the Legislature of California passed a concurrent resolution making 29 August of that year, the centennial of Father Serra's burial, a legal holiday. Of his writings many letters and other documentation are extant. The principal ones are his "Diario" of the journey from Loreto to San Diego, which was published in "Out West" (March to June, 1902), and the "Representación" before mentioned.

. . When Father Junípero Serra founded California's first mission in 1769, he was 56 years old and asthmatic, with a chronic sore on his leg that troubled him for the rest of his life, and he suffered frequently from other illnesses, as well. He stood just 5 feet, 2 inches, and, as a journalist later wrote, "He certainly didn't look like the man who would one day be known as the Apostle of California." Yet he endured the hardships of the frontier and pressed forward with remarkable determination to fulfill his purpose: to convert the Native Americans of California to Christianity.
. . In pursuit of that goal, Father Serra walked thousands of miles between San Diego and Monterey and even Mexico City. He traveled the seas, also; and by the time he died August 28, 1784, in Carmel he had founded nine missions, introduced agriculture and irrigation techniques, and the Spanish language. He had battled governors, bureaucrats and military commanders to secure a system of laws to protect the California Indians from at least some of the injustices inflicted by the Spanish soldiers whose practices often were in conflict with Father Serra's.
. . Father Serra had been a philosophy professor and distinguished preacher at the Convent of San Francisco in Mallorca, the Spanish island where he was born in 1713. He was 36 years old when he reached the port of Vera Cruz, Mexico, on December 8, 1749, and walked to Mexico City. ( It was during that journey of 24 days that an insect bite caused the sore on his leg that sometimes became so painful he had difficulty walking. ) He spent 17 years in missionary work in the Sierra Gorda in the present area of North-Central Mexico. In 1767 he became president of the 14 missions in Baja California, originally founded by the Jesuits, then turned over to the Franciscans.
. . At that time, faced with the threat of Russian colonization from the north, Spain had committed itself to pushing northward into what is now the American state of California. Russian America (Alaska) was only 800 miles away. Spain feared that Russia would push south and gain a firm foothold in Alta California. The Spanish military launched an expedition into California in 1769 under the leadership of Gaspar de Portola. Father Serra set out with them to establish missions.
. . Serra's blessing of the site of Mission San Diego de Alcala on July 16, 1769, marked the beginning of the European settlement of California.
. . Between the years of 1796 and 1784, Father Serra made six voyages by sea totaling 5,400 miles. He traveled by land the distance between Monterey and San Francisco eight times, Monterey and San Antonio 11 times, His longest journey by land was from Monterey to Mexico City. In total, he traveled well over 5,500 miles by land.
. . Father Serra arrived at Monterey aboard the sailing ship San Antonio on June 1, 1770. He celebrated the first Mass on June 3, 1770, on the shore of Monterey Bay, where we now find the city of Monterey.
. . He returned to San Diego to work on the mission there, then founded Mission San Juan Capistrano in 1776, the year of the American Declaration of Independence.
. . When Father Serra died in 1784 he had established nine California missions and baptized 6,000 Indians, about 10 percent of the California Native American population. Those nine missions grew to 21. Today, more than 60 percent of the state's nearly 26 million people live in areas surrounding the missions, and El Camino Real, the road that Father Serra traveled on a tour of the missions shortly before this death, established a major artery running much of the length of the state.
August 28th is the anniversary of the death of Father Serra, and is set aside in special remembrance of his many contributions to the Catholic Church in America.
Bl. Junipero Serra
Feastday: July 1
Patron of Vocations
1713 - 1784
Beatified By: Pope John Paul II
Miguel Jose Serra was born on the island of Majorca on November 24, 1713, and took the name of Junipero when in 1730, he entered the Franciscan Order. Ordained in 1737, he taught philosophy and theology at the University of Padua until 1749.
At the age of thirty-seven, he landed in Mexico City on January 1, 1750, and spent the rest of his life working for the conversion of the peoples of the New World.
In 1768, Father Serra took over the missions of the Jesuits (who had been wrongly expelled by the government)in the Mexican province of Lower California and Upper California (modern day California). An indefatigable worker, Serra was in large part responsible for the foundation and spread of the Church on the West Coast of the United States when it was still mission territory.
He founded twenty-one missions and converted thousands of Indians. The converts were taught sound methods of agriculture, cattle raising, and arts and crafts.
Junipero was a dedicated religious and missionary. He was imbued with a penitential spirit and practiced austerity in sleep, eating, and other activities. On August 28, 1784, worn out by his apostolic labors, Father Serra was called to his eternal rest. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on September 25, 1988. His statue, representing the state of California, is in National Statuary Hall. His feast day is July 1.
Junipero Serra
A priest in the Franciscan order of the Catholic Church, Junipero Serra was a driving force in the Spanish conquest and colonization of what is now the state of California.
Serra was born into a humble family on the Spanish island of Mallorca in the Mediterranean Ocean. His parents sent him to a nearby Franciscan school, and his intellectual abilities soon caught the attention of his teachers. At age fifteen he enrolled in a prominent Franciscan school in the nearby city of Palma. The next year he became a novice in the Franciscan order and shortly thereafter was ordained as a priest.
Serra's intellectual acumen and enormous willpower secured his appointment as a professor of theology at the tender age of twenty-four. Six years later, in 1743, he moved on to a professorship at the prestigious Lullian University.
Despite his success as a pulpit orator and professor, Serra hungered for something more. In 1749 he secured permission to travel with some fellow Franciscans who intended to devote themselves to work at a mission near Mexico City. Serra took the long sea voyage to Spain's colonies. Despite ill health from the voyage, upon his arrival in Vera Cruz he insisted on walking all the way to Mexico City, a distance of over two hundred miles. This was the first of many feats of physical stamina and willpower which were to make the Franciscan a legend in his own time.
For some fifteen years, Serra worked in Mexico at much the same tasks as he had in Spain, although he took on missionary work to nearby Indian peoples in addition to preaching, hearing confessions, and helping to administrate Mexico City's College of San Fernando.
In 1767 the Spanish emperor's expulsion of the Jesuits from Spain's colonies led the government to ask the Franciscan Order to replace them as missionaries in Baja (lower) California. Serra was appointed head of these missions. The next year the Spanish governor decided to explore and found missions in Alta (upper) California, the area which is now the state of California. This project was intended both to Christianize the extensive Indian populations and to serve Spain's strategic interest by preventing Russian explorations and possible claims to North America's Pacific coast.
Serra spent the rest of his life as head of the Franciscans in Alta California. Already over fifty years old, dangerously thin, asthmatic, and seriously injured in one of his legs, the undaunted Serra led the founding of the Mission of San Diego in 1769, aided an expedition in locating San Francisco Bay, and personally founded eight other missions, including his lifelong headquarters, the mission San Carlos Borromeo at Carmel. His Herculean efforts subjected him to near-starvation, afflictions of scurvy, and hundreds of miles of walking and horse riding through dangerous terrain. Moreover, he was notorious for his mortifications of the flesh: wearing heavy shirts with sharp wires pointed inward, whipping himself to the point of bleeding, and using a candle to scar the flesh of his chest. His sacrifices bore fruit for the missionaries; by his death in 1784, the nine missions he had founded had a nominally converted Indian population of nearly 5,000.
Serra argued with the Spanish Army over the proper authority of the Franciscans in Alta California, which he thought should subsume that of military commanders. In 1773 he convinced the authorities in Mexico City to increase financial and military support for expansion of his missions, and to expand the authority of the Franciscans over both the army and the baptized mission Indians. He also urged Mexican officials to establish an overland route to Alta California, a suggestion which led to colonizing expeditions from New Mexico which established civilian settlements at San Francisco in 1776 and at Los Angeles in 1781.
Serra wielded this kind of political power because his missions served economic and political purposes as well as religious ends. The number of civilian colonists in Alta California never exceeded 3,200, and the missions with their Indian populations were critical to keeping the region within Spain's political orbit. Economically, the missions produced all of the colony's cattle and grain, and by the 1780's were even producing surpluses sufficient to trade with Mexico for luxury goods.
Despite the frequent conflicts between military and religious authority, for Alta California's Indians the missions and their Franciscan administrators were part and parcel of an enormously destructive colonization process. The Spanish, largely through disease, were responsible for a population decline from about 300,000 Indians in 1769 to about 200,000 by 1821. The strenuous work regime and high population density within the missions themselves also caused high death rates among the mission Indians. By law, all baptized Indians subjected themselves completely to the authority of the Franciscans; they could be whipped, shackled or imprisoned for disobedience, and hunted down if they fled the mission grounds. Indian recruits, who were often forced to convert nearly at gunpoint, could be expected to survive mission life for only about ten years. As one Friar noted, the Indians "live well free but as soon as we reduce them to a Christian and community life... they fatten, sicken, and die."
Junipero Serra is still a well-known figure in California, a virtual icon of the colonial era whose statue stands in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park and in the U.S. Capital. In 1987 Pope John Paul II beatified Serra, the second of three steps necessary for the Church's bestowal of formal sainthood. Many Indians and academics condemned this decision, pointing to the harsh conditions of mission life and Serra's own justification of beatings. (In 1780, Serra wrote: "that spiritual fathers should punish their sons, the Indians, with blows appears to be as old as the conquest of [the Americas]; so general in fact that the saints do not seem to be any exception to the rule.") Defenders of Serra cited the context of his times, his enormous personal sacrifices and religious zeal, and his opposition to punitive military expeditions against the Indians as exonerating factors. More than two centuries after his death, Junipero Serra is still a pivotal figure in California history and the history of the American West, this time as a flashpoint for controversy over European treatment of Indians.

The Seat Arona SUV has been spotted testing again just weeks before its global reveal. The sighting of Seat's upcoming Nissan Juke rival comes just over a week after images were leaked online, showing its exterior design more clearly than ever.
The images, published by MQB-Coding & Retrofit, showed the car's front, side and rear profile, with the styling heavily reflection its current Ateca SUV, particularly at the front end.
Seat has confirmed that the Arona, its new Ibiza-based compact crossover SUV, will go on sale in December this year. The covers will be pulled off next month.
Built to rival the likes of the Juke and Renault Captur, the Arona will be built on the same A0 platform as the forthcoming new Ibiza, using the VW Group's modular MQB architecture.
Like the Ibiza, it is likely to only be available in front-wheel-drive, and will share engines with the hatch. These will include the VW Group's new 1.5-litre TSI Evo petrol engine developing 148bhp. The range will also include a three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine and a 1.6-litre diesel.
It is the last of three new Seat models planned for this year, after an update to the Leon at the start of the year, and the launch of the fifth-generation Ibiza.
The Arona is named after a city on the Spanish island of Tenerife, and also after a town on Lake Maggiore in the Piedmont area of Italy. It will be developed and built at Seat's Martorell headquarters in Barcelona, Spain.
Seat boss Luca de Meo said: "The Leon, the Ibiza and the new Arona, together with the Ateca, are going to strengthen Seat from a commercial, financial and brand image standpoint. 2017 is going to be a very special year for Seat." Source: autocar

Alberta's Grid Sets Record Highs For Wind And Record Lows For Coal
The Alberta government's plan to phase out coal and ramp up renewables is unequivocally a good thing. Costs for renewables have dropped sharply and coal just isn't worth it when you factor in the health and carbon costs.
This report, co-authored by the Asthma Society of Canada, the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, The Lung Association (Alberta and Northwest Territories) and the Pembina Institute puts the health-care costs from Alberta's coal plants at $300 million annually.
Alberta accounts for close to 70 per cent of the health related impacts from burning coal for electricity generation nationwide. By phasing out coal, it is estimated that over the next 20 years:
- 590 premature deaths could be avoided
- 530 ER visits and hospitalization could be avoided
- 80,000 asthma episodes could be avoided
- And 1.9 million days of breathing difficulty and reduced activity could be avoided
Around the world investments in wind and solar are outpacing investments in coal and natural gas two to one. And when you look at a couple of recent records within Alberta's electricity system you can see where Alberta's electricity system is headed.
- On April 9th, 2016 at 1 a.m. wind energy made up 22 per cent of Alberta's net electricity generation. A record high.
- On May 8th, 2016 at 8 a.m. coal made up only 34 per cent of Alberta's net electricity generation. A record low.
Grant Arnold is the CEO of BluEarth Renewables, a Calgary based renewable energy developer.
"This is a sign of things to come and it's important to point out that isn't unique to Alberta. When you look at Texas and other places where there is a lot of wind energy they've successfully integrated them into the grid," says Arnold.
Angela Anderson is a spokesperson for the Alberta Electric System Operator. According to Anderson a lot of natural gas and wind energy has come online recently. The two biggest examples being the 300 MW Blackspring Ridge wind project in Vulcan County and the 800 MW natural gas fired Shepard Energy Centre both of which came online in the past two years.
"So we're already seeing the trend of wind and natural gas replacing coal," says Anderson.
And coal was on the downswing before the government's climate leadership plan was even announced. When you look at coal's share of electricity generation in Alberta over the past 10 years there's been a 13.5 per cent drop.
In 2019 another four units totaling 860 megawatts worth of coal fired generation capacity comes offline for good due to federal regulations. By 2029 another eight units will come offline due to those same federal regulations.
The process of replacing those old coal generators with renewables and natural gas projects starts soon. Over the next dozen years Alberta is looking at roughly $10-15 billion worth of investment just in renewables as the province phases out coal.
When you factor in the billions of dollars of investment and capital expenditures that are on their way and the health savings from phasing out coal it's a good thing we're seeing record highs for wind energy and record lows for coal energy already.

It started as a project to power Calgary's LRT with wind power in 2001, but in 2012 the City entered into an agreement with Enmax to supply all of the city operations, including the LRT with wind power from southern Alberta making the city operations 100% renewable. Calgary needs 144 megawatts of electricity to operate trains and run city operations. That emissions reducing effort is now poised to provide a major payback of almost $10 million per year in avoided carbon taxes. Photo David Dodge, GreenEnergyFutures.ca
The City of Calgary installed a 153 kilowatt solar system on the Southland Leisure Centre in September. The system consists of 600 solar modules and has an estimated payback of 14 years. In coming years renewable energy systems will have the added benefit of producing carbon free electricity, thus avoid future carbon levies. Photo ENMAX

Row over Commission-owned nuclear plant in the Netherlands
Serious safety breaches were found last year at a Commission-owned nuclear plant in the Netherlands, but further investigations were blocked by authorities, it has emerged.
According to Dutch daily De Volkskrant on Saturday (4 December), a police raid in September 2003 revealed dangerous abuses of environmental and safety standards at a reactor based in Petten, which is owned by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre.

However, documents from the Dutch Justice Ministry, obtained by the paper, show that the Dutch government hindered further judicial investigations against the plant.
The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs allegedly feared a diplomatic conflict with the European Commission.
The Commission had stated in a series of letters to the Dutch authorities that it would find prosecution of the Petten plant staff unacceptable, as Commission employees working at Petten possess legal immunity in the Netherlands.
Ongoing investigations against the plant by the Dutch public prosecutor were therefore hastily broken off in March 2004.
Explosion risk
However, after the police raid, Dutch prosecution authorities characterised the situation at Petten as very serious.
The investigations had revealed that toxic waste was stored without protection, bearing a risk of explosion.
De Volkskrant quotes concerned Dutch officials at the Public Prosecutors Office, who fear a situation of lawlessness at the Commission's power plant.
One official is quoted as saying that a "nuclear free-haven" has been created at Petten.
However, both the Joint Research Centre and the Dutch Ministry for the Environment reacted over the weekend saying that after a series of recent improvements, safety at the plant is now guaranteed.

Download Configuring access to SQL Server data and features is an important part of every DBA's job, but one that we all know must be handled carefully. The unintended consequences of giving too much access to resources can mean compromised or lost information. There are two important goals to keep in mind when configuring security for SQL Server: to protect the integrity of our data and prevent unauthorized access to it. There are many factors to consider when configuring security on a SQL Server. It's easy to overlook some of them, but if you use a systematic approach and factor in all four levels of security - server, database, schema, and object - the chances of missing something along the way become minimized.

The Blue Note
I would never have expected an investment banker from Arkansas to be the one who would hand me the key to deciphering Warsaw — at a Christmas party in Warsaw's favorite wine bar, hidden among auto-repair shops no less. But perhaps only Southerners, as an American sub-tribe, are able to empathize with a foreign national, regional or city identity that can't be summed up it with the expansively confident words "We're number One!" that accept victory as birthright. Perhaps only Southerners can understand the charm of an identity which is tarnished, marked by the memory of death and physical decay. There's a reason blues and jazz were invented there.

I turned to see a young woman in tight fitting scarlet cocktail dress that flattered her curvaceous body, lounging in the doorway of another room.
"I'm Caroline Peterson, AKA 'The Ex'. Although nobody can really get over 'Mr. Jacket'- Yes, I know that nickname. I practically encouraged him not to take it the wrong way when you children made it up."
She said it to the hallway at large whilst she lazily examined her nails. They were painted dark crimson. Giving a bitter laugh, she finally turned her attention onto me, and continued, "What a sad, sad death," though her tone of voice did not quite convince me that she was really as upset as the words would have expected. Her eyes were wild and the pupils were dilated.
"Come..." she called before disappearing into the room. I was hesitant to follow her but something told me she needed to be followed…
As I entered the room- a study of some sort- the young lady slid into a coal-coloured swivel chair and raised her eyes to my face. Although the room was light, with large rectangular French-windows that lead out to a green lawn, I could not decipher Miss Peterson's expression. She looked like a woman with a heart of steel and a past of ash. She had straight short hair, which I had trouble working out whether it was brown or blonde, dyed with so many shades of blonde, yet the brown roots always breaking through for revenge. It was like she was ready to be a different woman every day of the week!
"Number one: I'll be frank, Mister Josh Craig was hot, but a jerk. He dumped me for no reason, but I've found someone better. Oh God, I sound like a flipping advert."
She put her head in her hands. I frowned; Miss Peterson was incredibly hard to figure out. Glancing up, a scowl from her joined our party of facial expressions. "Don't look at me like that; I am not messed up!"
"Can we get to the point?" I tipped my head to one side as I continued to frown, "Number two?"
"Nuumbber two. He worked at that local school, Saint Christopher's."
"I know that-"
"Ah, but what you don't know is that his best friend also worked there…"
"Nope, I know that too. Caroline... I'm sorry; if you're not going to be useful then there is no point in me talking to you." I knew that to get information from this woman I would have to be rougher with her than I had been with Mrs. Craig.
"Isn't it strange though?" Miss Peterson giggled slightly, and I panicked that I might just have stepped into the path of someone mentally unhinged.
"Umm…" I mean: what was I to say to that?
"Okay. Well, I suppose you'd better get on with the usual interview questions then…" Miss Peterson ignored my baffled reactions.
Clearing my head, I went with the first query:
"Did he have a fight, or argument, with anyone recently?"
"Well, all I can think of is," said Miss Peterson, finally sounding like she had information that she could share, "when Josh fought with Andy a couple of days ago… Monday? Or was it Tuesday morning? I should know; I was there. I saw it happen…" She paused and suddenly looked distressed; a completely different emotion from the rest of the evening.
"They were arguing over me…"
I frowned again, but made sure that Miss Peterson couldn't see me looking sceptical; I thought she would have enjoyed having handsome men fight over her, but I supposed learning that a good friend had been murdered might have shocked her stone heart at least a little bit, and then I wondered if her fake 'sadness' earlier was all an act to hide her true feelings. I looked at Mr. Craig's ex-girlfriend sympathetically and spoke quietly, "Are you okay to continue?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry. It was quite-quite scary being between them, at that point…they've been at war recently after such a good friendship. And it just ended… Just like that… But… No, that's not important…"
"What?" But she was still staring thoughtfully far away into the abyss, so now I voiced another question that was eating away at me.
"Who's Andy?" Although a nagging sensation told me that I already knew.
"He works at the school too: Andrew Smith. He teaches Design Technology, and Internet Technology."
As I slowly said, "Yes, he taught me in Year Seven," I wondered how she knew so much of the school's operations.
There was silence as we both contemplated the truths of ours and other recent words. There was a growing intensity inside of me to find who this killer was.
"Do you know anything else important?" I pestered Miss Peterson for the answers…
"Well, there was one odd thing I saw; I don't know whether it's important…certainly not to me. But nevertheless I really should tell you before I forget-"

Consider the page FlexibleGrids/Demos/inflexibledemo.html - open up the file in your browser. It's a layout similar to our Jazz Calendar page, but much more simple. A header (gray background) sits at top, two columns (red and blue) float left and right, respectively, in the middle of the page, and a footer (green) sits at bottom. The 960px-wide design is fixed in width and center justified. The columns split by a ratio of 600px (the left red column) and 360px (the blue sidebar).
But note that, when we resize the browser, the design remains at a fixed width:
A revision to this same page now shows a flexible, fluid grid - please check out the page FlexibleGrids/Demos/flexibledemo.html in your browser, too. Instead of a fixed, 960px container for the page, we now assign a width of 80% to the container. (80% is somewhat arbitrary, but seems close to the spirit of the original, fixed-width design.) Most importantly, we have set the width of the floated elements - the left red main column and the right blue sidebar column - with percentages rather than fixed pixels.
We find the relative percentage-width values by dividing the fixed width of the element by the width of its container element. Thus, for the left (red) sidebar, 600 / 960 = 0.625 - that's 62.5%. Similarly, the right (blue) sidebar gets a percentage width of 37.5%, since 360 / 960 = 0.375.
The design now shrinks or expands - with the entire design a percentage of the browser width, and the #maincontent and #sidebar elements scaling proportionally - as the browser resizes narrower or wider:
The markup remains the same - we've not updated the HTML, just the CSS. But this subtle change - moving from fixed pixel widths to flexible percentages - already goes a long way toward rendering the design more responsively.

The Patriots have had eight months to think about what could have been. All offseason the Patriots players had to live with the bad taste in their mouth after their 27-13 playoff loss in Denver. New England has waited for payback ever since the schedules were announced and Sunday night in front of a national television audience, they'll get their chance at revenge.
No team likes to lose their final game of the season. It means they didn't accomplish their goal of winning the Super Bowl. While the Patriots can't win a Super Bowl title every year, the way last season ended was especially hard to swallow. Not because they lost, but because of how they lost.
In a game that saw New England outgain Denver 420-286 in total yards, costly turnovers and untimely penalties did the Patriots in and prevented them from reaching their fourth AFC Championship game in five years.
The Patriots trailed the Broncos 17-6 late in the third quarter but they still had a glimmer of hope. New England drove to the Broncos 5-yard line when the bottom fell out from under them. On third-and-goal, Tom Brady was blitzed as he tried to hit Troy Brown in the corner of the end zone. Champ Bailey picked off the Brady pass and returned it 100 yards before being knocked out of bounds just before the goal line. Mike Anderson's touchdown run on the next play sealed a Broncos victory and handed Brady his first postseason loss ever.
Following the game, Bailey wasn't shy about letting everyone know how important his interception was in securing a Broncos victory.
"They were setting picks on us early in the game," Bailey said. "They tried it again but Darrent Williams and I switched and I cut in front and picked the pass off. It was a great play by me. I did what I get paid to do; change the outcome of a game."
Brady threw for 341 yards against Denver that night but his two interceptions, particularly the costly one to Bailey, has been on his mind all offseason.
"It was tough," Brady said. "That's going to sit with me for a long time. I continue to be reminded of it. It's on NFL Network and every time I watch it's Champ running down the sideline. It was a tough way to end the year. I think we were playing at a much higher level at that point than we were earlier in the season. We were a very confident team. We just laid an egg out there and I was a huge part of that."
It's evident by Brady's comments that his first playoff loss was arguably the worst defeat he's ever been a part of. While that clearly wasn't one of Brady's best performances, a number of dependable veterans made uncharacteristically bad mistakes in that game. There was Brady's two interceptions, Kevin Faulk's fumble before the half and a muffed punt by the usually sure-handed Troy Brown in the fourth quarter. Despite their sloppy play, defensive leader Richard Seymour didn't offer any excuses after the game.
"It was disappointing but you can't say we did it to ourselves," Seymour said. "Mistakes are part of the game and we made more than Denver. It's uncharacteristic but when things like that happen, it comes out like this. As a competitive player and as a man, you have to accept it."
This week, Seymour said he and his teammates don't need any extra motivation with the Broncos coming to town.
"We'll definitely be ready for this game," Seymour said. "It's a big game against the team that knocked us out last year. We don't need any pick-me-ups for this one. It's going to be fun. This is what you play for as a competitor."
The Patriots appear to be getting the Broncos at that right time. While the Denver defense has played well early in the year -- not giving up a touchdown to this point -- the offense has struggled badly. The Broncos have scored 19 points in two games and were lucky to squeak by the Chiefs at home last week in overtime, 9-6. If Denver doesn't play better than they have this Sunday night, they could be in trouble against a Patriots team that's sure to be fired up for this matchup.
If you listen to the remarks made by the greatest quarterback to ever play for New England, it's hard to believe this game doesn't mean a little extra to him and the other players in the Patriots locker room.
"I re-watched the press conference before the Denver game," Brady said. "The last thing I said, to the last question -- it was about Champ Bailey -- was, 'Every time I throw over there I'm really going to make sure I'm careful when I throw the ball in his direction.' Then I walked off. Can you believe that? Of all the things to say."
--"I think that's the way it's going to be early in the season and trying to understand the different components we have on the team. There are a lot of players fitting into new roles and it's just going to be a lot of tough, hard-nosed games until we can play more consistently." -- Patriots quarterback Tom Brady on the inconsistency of the passing game early in the year.
--"We showed it to the team on film today. They were pretty excited about it. It was a good run. I don't know how many people saw it, the defensive guys were back there trying to get ready to go back on to the field for the two-minute drive if the Jets got the ball back. He hit Rhodes pretty hard." -- Bill Belichick commenting on Corey Dillon's fourth quarter run where he ran over Jets safety Kerry Rhodes.
--LB Tedy Bruschi made his return to the Patriots' lineup against the Jets, despite wearing a cast to protect his broken right wrist. The cast ended up being nothing more than a little uncomfortable for the Patriots emotional leader, as Bruschi finished the game with six tackles, two passes defensed and a game-clinching interception with only seconds left.
Following the game, fellow linebacker Mike Vrabel stood at his locker shaking his head. "Only Tedy could come back with a cast on his stinking arm and get an interception," Vrabel said laughing.
--Despite not playing in the same division, the Patriots and Broncos will meet for the 12th time in 12 years on Sunday night.
--Denver is just one of three opponents to have a winning record at Gillette Stadium. The others are Green Bay and San Diego.
--RB Laurence Maroney was one of five players nominated as a finalist for the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week award after his 65-yard, one touchdown performance against the Jets. He was up against Colts running back Joseph Addai, Saints wide receiver Marques Colston, 49ers outside linebacker Manny Lawson and Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams.
--LB Mike Vrabel was asked on Wednesday if the Patriots are looking to settle a score with the Broncos this week after last year's difficult playoff loss.
"No, it's the third game," Vrabel responded. "It's a big game but it's still early. We're starting to play better and obviously they're playing better. There are things that we need to work on and they're trying to do the same thing. To try and settle a score in the third week of the season is crazy."

Research Alliance: Northeast Educator Effectiveness Research Alliance
Principal Investigator: Julie Riordan
In collaboration with the Northeast Educator Effectiveness Research Alliance (NEERA) and the New Hampshire Department of Education, REL Northeast & Islands examined the implementation of new district teacher evaluation systems in the eight New Hampshire districts that received a School Improvement Grant.
The study compares district plans, measures implementation fidelity, and examines factors affecting implementation, including:
NEERA is focused on providing research to support states' and districts' development, implementation, and evaluation of new educator evaluation systems. This project responds to a request from the New Hampshire Department of Education, through an alliance member, to study the pilot implementation of the state's new guidelines for teacher evaluation.
A wide array of studies has called attention to the limitations of traditional educator evaluations, in particular their inability to differentiate among teachers and link teacher evaluations to student learning outcomes. In October 2011, the NHDOE released a set of guidelines for a new statewide framework for teacher evaluation that includes multiple measures of student learning and teacher performance. The state then required its 15 School Improvement Grant (SIG) schools to design and implement new teacher evaluation systems aligned with the new state guidelines during the 2012–13 school year.
The purpose of this study is to describe: (1) the features of the new teacher evaluation system in each SIG school, (2) the fidelity of implementation of the new evaluation systems during the pilot year as well as the factors that influence implementation, (3) the extent to which schools use their multiple rating systems to differentiate across teachers, and (4) the changes in teachers' perceptions of professional school climate during the pilot implementation year.
To complete the study, researchers used document reviews, survey responses, and interview data. The study population included teachers, principals, and evaluators located in New Hampshire's SIG schools during the 2012–13 school year.

Fifteen oral and beveil written objections were voiced Thursday night as the Marion counci held a public hearing on unpaid garbage and refuse collection fees. Objections mainly were from property owners of empty houses, persons who use private garbage collection and .service and those who feel the price is too high or the mandatory service unjust.

Blackford, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Sammons, Henry Katz, John Melchers, Gerald Hopkins and Gene Stmchan, and from out-of-town, W. E. Lutz of Mesa, Ariz., Joseph Taylor of Omaha and Mrs. Dick Clark of Washington, D.C. Oral objections were stated by Joe Dahlhauser, Harry Schriner, George Klinger, David Vaughn, Chester Dahlhauser, Hal Huber and Winifred Connell, all of Marion. ' The council received and filed the objections and referred them to the group's sanitation committee for study and a report at the March 7 meeting. Paving Project City Engineer Terry Chew was directed to prepare plans and specifications for the 1974 paving project No. 2, asphaltic overlay work. The non-assessa-ble project will include these streets: Third avenue, Twenty-second to Thirty-first streets; Sixth street, Third to Fourth avenues; Eighth avenue, Second to Third streets; Tenth avenue, Sixth to Seventh streets; Eleventh ave nue, Fourteenth to Seventeenth streets; South Twelfth street, to B avenues; Thirteenth avenue, Tenth to Eleventh streets; Fourteenth street, Thirteenth avenue to James drive; Sixteenth avenue Twenty-seventh to Twenty-ninth a t r e cts; Seventeenth street Ninth to Tenth avenues; Eight eenth avenue, Twenty-seventh to Thirty-first streets; Twen tieth street, Third to Fifth ave n u e s ; Twenty-first avenue Twenty-fourth to Twenty-sixth streets; Twenty-second street, First to Third avenues and Eighth to Tenth avenues; Twenty-fifth street, Fourteenth to Seventeenth avenues; Twenty-ninth avenue, Fifteenth avenue to McGowan boulevard; A avenue South Twelfth to South Fourteenth streets,; C avenue, South Twelfth to South Fourteenth streets; D avenue, South Twelfth to South Fourteenth streets; Fairview drive, South Eighth to South Eleventh streets; Northview drive, Eleventh to Seventeenth ave nues, and Starry drive, South Twelfth to South Fourteenth streets. All of these streets will have a one-inch asphalt overlay maintenance mat. An alternate, consisting of a three-inch overlay mat, has been set up for Seventh avenue from Ninth to Thirteenth streets. The Iowa highway commission has been asked to pay far this maintenance work. A letter from Police Chief Richard E. Cayler, concerning R J's lounge, 1075 Sixth avenue, was received and filed. Cuyler said the lounge owners are making an effort to correct the problems at the tavern. He rec- Curriculum Gets Linn-AAar Review By Pat Peterson It was a rather lengthy work session for the Linn-Mar school board Thursday night as it reviewed the curriculum for all grade levels. No formal action was taken. Glen Easterday, assistant superintendent, presented five elementary curriculum plans. He proposed initiating a kindergarten screening program. Easterday said it would he a )>re-kinri°rgartcn assessment of the student, his abilities and disabilities, so tho school could be ready to handle the needs of each student. He said it would be a step for the school to get ready for the student, rather than the student getting ready for school. Spelling Program The second proposal Involved changes in the spelling program. The changes would be directed at the 15 percent of the fastest and slowest students Easterday said the mid range of students would remain on the present program hut the students on either end of the range would be given supplemental materials to meet their needs. The third proposal involved initiating more coordination between classrooms and between elementary buildings in the language arts area. The fourth proposal was starting a pilot program in the Bowman Woods elementary school involving a multi-age group kindergarten-first grade class and a self contained single-teacher, crosfl-grade level class for classes one to three and two to four. The fifth proposal, Easterday said was not formulated, bul he was bringing it before fbi' hoard for their reaction on whether or not he should seek more information. His proposal was for twine kind of 'State funded program to help teach those children who may not be retarded hut have learning disabilities. John Corkery, junior high principal, said that in the 1974-75 year he experts to have IO to 50 more students which means that the junior high would he facing more problems finding room far the students until the new addition is completed. He reported on the present curriculum and suggested only minor changes in the exploit tory program. Special Education Cankery told the board he would like permission to try something different with the special education students. He said instead of grouping them separately, he would like them integrated into the regular classes, with the special education teachers working with the students, helping them in the various areas.

London mayor, Boris Johnson, backs US scheme Recycle Bank which gives people shopping vouchers to value of recycling
The mayor of London Boris Johnson will today outline plans for a scheme that rewards recycling households as he aims to cut the amount of rubbish going to landfill sites.
Johnson is backing a London-based trial of an American scheme called Recycle Bank, which gives householders shopping vouchers or donations to charity to the value of how much they recycle.
Johnson estimates a typical London household would make £14 a month under the scheme, one of a series of proposals contained in a draft municipal waste strategy.
Figures show the capital's recycling rates lagging behind both the rest of the UK and other international cities.
Johnson, who chairs the London Waste and Recycling Board, wants to save £90m per year through more recycling, better co-ordination and greater investment in less polluting technologies.
Just 25% of the four million tonnes of household waste generated each year by Londoners is recycled, with half going to landfill sites. The remainder goes to incinerators. Johnson is writing to all London borough leaders to ask them to redouble their efforts in recycling and, reminding them of pressure on future council tax bills if they fail to act.

Late-show sinks Tunisia
By James Pearson
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Late goals lifted Germany to 3-0 win over Tunisia in the Confederations Cup.Germany have booked their place in the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup after a late 3-0 win over Tunisia.
The hosts now have two wins out of two following their exciting 4-3 win over Australia earlier in the week.
Germany were far from their best against the Africans, but claimed all three points thanks to a flurry of late goals.
Tunisia to their credit kept out Jurgen Klinsmann's side in the first half, leaving the bulk of the 44,377 crowd frustrated in Cologne.
Just when it looked like Tunisia might claim a point Michael Ballack broke the deadlock from the penalty spot.
The Bayern Munich ace slotted home himself after he was fouled by Wissem Abdi on 74 minutes.
Bastian Schweinsteiger settled the contest just six minutes later before Mike Hanke added the icing on the cake.

Kite festival takes flight down by the lakefront
The Don Jacobs Toyota Frank Mots International Kite Festival returns to the lakefront for its 33rd year this weekend, filling the skies with colorful fliers small and large - some of them very large.
Among the spectacles to look for is the Mega-Octopus kite, which is 140 feet long and 50 feet wide.
Several professional kite-fliers are scheduled for both days, including brothers Josh and Zach Gordon, who perform kite stunts, as well as Mike Delfar of Milwaukee and Dan Newman of Racine. Chicago's Fire Kite Team and Team O2, who perform team stunts, will each put on three shows throughout the weekend.
The Grand Launch at noon Saturday and Sunday features more than 500 kites in the air at once. Gift of Wings kite shop, one of the event sponsors, will give away kites to the first 100 kids to participate in the Kids' Mad Dash.
Throughout the weekend, anyone can get free kite-flying tips from Brett Williams, known as "the kite whisperer."
The kite festival runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Veterans Park, off Lake Drive. For more information, call Gift of Wings at (414) 305-3145 or see www.giftofwings.com.

Office365 Connections Deprecated - Use Windows Azure AD
Immediate Action
Migrate your Office365 Connections to Windows Azure AD Connections.
- Create a Windows Azure AD subscription (free)
- Create a Directory (that will be associated with your Office365 account) and an application as explained here.
IMPORTANT: If you were using the
user_id in your application, notice that it will change from

Since early days, we supported authenticating users with Office365. Office365 has always used Windows Azure AD behind the scenes, but there wasn't a good UI to create an "application" in Windows Azure AD. That's why you had to create it in the Seller Dashboard. Moving forward Microsoft wants you to use Windows Azure AD and you can now easily create a directory associated with your Office365 account and the application.
