It is to be noted that a large chunk of a child's genetic code is carried by the male procreation cell. Some other interesting facts about the male procreation cell, the sperm, are listed below:
- Diet affects a man's sperms: A man's daily diet plays a major role in the health of his sperm. The choice of food has a big impact on sperm. For example, a publication in The Journal of Biology and Reproduction, 2011, has shown that DHA (an Omega-3 essential fatty acid found in cod liver oil and salmon) aids in improving the morphology of the sperm. Increase in DHA levels can turn a sperm with a round head into a healthy sperm with a cone-shaped head and fill it with important enzymes that aid in egg-opening. Increase in levels of DHA also helps in improving sperm mobility. Another study has shown that men who consume an excess of 3 cups of coffee per day exhibit a reduction in concentration of the sperms as well as total sperm count along with poor quality of the sperm.
- Health of sperm can be improved by climaxing regularly: Production of semen is reduced due to irregular ejaculation or abstinence from sex.
- Wireless Technology is capable of damaging sperm: Recent studies have shown that laptops using Wi-Fi to connect to the internet damages sperm via non-thermal effects. Hence, scientists suggest that men should try to avoid keeping laptops on their laps directly and should keep their cell phones in places other than the pant pockets.
- Extra energy for penetrating the egg: The journey of a sperm is long and vigorous; an incredible amount of energy is needed to penetrate the ova. Naturally, there is a dearth of energy when the sperm finally reaches the ova. At this time, a stream of energy is provided because of a burst of progesterone from the female. This energizes the sperm, which in turn, helps in penetration of the egg.
- Protection: The immune system assumes that sperms are foreign invaders because they carry only half the DNA as compared to other cells. Hence, there are special protective cells present in the testicles that create a barrier which tends to attack the sperm cells.
- Life span: The publication of a study in Biology of Reproduction (1984) has stated that sperm cells, in appropriate conditions, have a life span of up to 5 days within a woman's body.
- Negative impact of lifestyle choices on sperms: A number of studies have shown that men having habits such as smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, consuming caffeine and who are obese have hampered fertility. This has a negative effect on the health of a sperm. Men who frequently consume alcohol tend to exhibit poor sperm concentration and lowered sperm mobility. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a doctor.
Are you suffering from polycystic ovarian syndrome and are looking for an ideal remedy? Polycystic ovarian disease or PCOD is a common female health condition. It is a complex disorder and involves several factors which include insulin resistance, obesity, irregular menstrual bleeding, insufficient ovum production, and abnormal menstrual cycles. PCOD commonly occurs during the reproductive age of a woman and accounts for being a major cause of infertility.
According to Ayurvedic principles, PCOD occurs primarily due to the imbalance state of your doshas. The dosha vaishanmya is linked to the symptoms of PCOD, and the relationship between the doshas and lakshans is permanent.
PCOD is associated with stri beeja and rajah formation, along with medhodhantu to some extent. These should be attended to while the condition is being treated. The Ayurvedic treatment of PCOD aims at providing ideal care by correction of the ama dosha. By this, you achieve koshta shuddi, which in turn regularizes your tridoshas. The way or approach towards Ayurvedic treatment for PCOD includes the following:
- Treatment of agnimandya at both dhatwagni and jataragni levels.
- The alleviation of sroto avarodha is an essential part of PCOD treatment using Ayurveda. You should undertake purificatory therapies which are based on the grade of your doshic vitialation, and the exact area of affliction. These should be followed by rasayana drugs, which are free radical scavenging agents.
- The regularization of the apana Vata is essential as well. You must firmly avoid vihara and kaphkara ahara.
- Yoga and meditation are very important for the Ayurvedic treatment of PCOD. You should perform yoga asanas regularly. Some of the ideal postures for PCOD management include sarvangasana, matyasana, and shavasana.
- It is also very important for you to work out regularly, undertake different physical exercises. This will make your overall life much healthier.
- You must follow a healthy, www.lybrate.com/treatment-for-healthy-diet, which should consist of fresh vegetables and fruits.
Ayurvedic herbs for the treatment of PCOD
- The varuna crataeva nurvala is an effective herb which helps in the clearance of channels, which reduces your cyst's size.
- You can try hareetaki because of its amazing laxative effects, which reduce the morbidity of your body.
- Bilva or aegle marmelos heps in reducing the size of your growth, via its digestive effect.
- Strotasshuddhi is required and herbs likes Punarnava, kaphhar medicines are advised.
- Phytooestrogen sources and female tonic Shatavari is very much advised.
- Drugs like methika, karela, meshashringi etc. all anti-diabetic drugs as these drugs decreases tissue level peripheral insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, which being the chief pathological sequence in PCOD.
- Guduchi is another effective remedy for PCOD and has a rejuvenating effect.
- Kanchnar is the drug of choice for Thyroid as per AYURVEDA, Strotasshuddhi is done by using Trikatu, Punarnava and other medicines. Rasayan like Shatavari are advised for enhancing female hormones.
If you are experiencing any symptom of PCOD, it is recommended for you to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner. This ensures that proper diagnosis is undertaken so that you can start treating the condition as early as possible.
What menstrual problems are to women, prostate problems are to men. The prostate is a gland in the lower abdomen that aids in the production of semen. The prostate is walnut sized in a young man, but can get enlarged with age. As it grows bigger, it can cause a number of problems. These are commonly seen after a man celebrates his 50th birthday.
There are three common prostate problems faced by men. Some of the symptoms that can tell if a man has a prostate problem are:
1. Difficulty faced while urinating.
2. The urge to urinate frequently at night.
3. Constant feeling of a full bladder.
4. Pain while urinating.
5. Blood in urine.
This can be defined as inflammation of the prostate gland. In most cases the cause of this inflammation is unknown. However, there are two types of prostatitis; bacterial and nonbacterial. While the former reacts well to antibiotics, the latter is more difficult to control. Symptoms of this disease vary from one person to the next. Some of the factors that could trigger this disease are:
1. Chemical irritants
2. Past bacterial infection
3. Dysfunctional pelvic floor muscles
4. Sexual abuse
5. Chronic anxiety
As mentioned earlier, as men get older, the prostate gland tends to grow in size. This growth is benign, but can block the bladder neck and prostatic urethra. This can cause problems urinating and lead to acute urinary retention. This can be very painful. Inserting a catheter can provide temporary relief and help release stored urine. Chronic retention is much less common and is associated with high bladder pressure and can damage the kidneys.
Prostate cancer
Advancing age and family genetic history are said to be the main triggers of prostate cancer. This type of cancer can remain restricted to the prostate gland in its early stages but may spread to the other glands as the cancer advances. This can also cause the growth of secondary tumors in the bones.
The only way to correctly diagnose a prostate problem is with a thorough physical examination. This includes a digital rectal exam where the doctor will insert a gloved finger into your rectum to check the size of your prostate, a blood test, mid stream urine tests and ultrasounds. In some cases a biopsy of the prostate may also be required. Depending on the diagnosis, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics, surgery, radiotherapy or hormone therapy to manage your prostate. If you wish to discuss any specific problem, you can consult an urologist.


text: commit b0e2bb33 set a default value for the SPICE agent channel by inserting it during parsing of the channel XML. That method of setting a default is problematic because it makes a format/parse roundtrip unclean, and experience with setting other values as a side effect of parsing has led to headaches (e.g. automatically setting a MAC address in the parser when one isn't specified in the input XML). This patch reverts commit b0e2bb33 and replaces it with the alternate implementation of simply inserting the default value in the appropriate place on the qemu commandline when no value is provided. --- (Playing the devil's advocate on my own patch for a moment - one advantage of Christophe's method of setting the default is that if we use that object somewhere else in libvirt's code in the future, the value will be set even if the XML left it unset, but with my method we will have to check for a NULL name and replace it with the default value anywhere we want to use it. So I won't say that either method is definitely the proper way to go, but will just present this alternative and see if someone else has an even stronger opinion than me :-) (BTW, I think I've decided while typing this message that, if we decide to change from the original method of setting default to this new method, the change should be pushed as two separate patches - one reverting the original, and another adding the new. It's too close to morning for me to take the time to do that right now, though.) src/conf/domain_conf.c | 7 ------- src/qemu/qemu_command.c | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.c b/src/conf/domain_conf.c index 24e10e6..ea558bb 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_conf.c +++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.c @@ -5248,13 +5248,6 @@ virDomainChrDefParseXML(virCapsPtr caps, goto error; } else { def->source.data.spicevmc = VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_SPICEVMC_VDAGENT; - if (!def->target.name) { - def->target.name = strdup("com.redhat.spice.0"); - if (!def->target.name) { - virReportOOMError(); - goto error; - } - } } } diff --git a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c index 3d2bb6b..50b1e6d 100644 --- a/src/qemu/qemu_command.c +++ b/src/qemu/qemu_command.c @@ -3457,9 +3457,9 @@ qemuBuildVirtioSerialPortDevStr(virDomainChrDefPtr dev, qemuCapsGet(qemuCaps, QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE_SPICEVMC))) { virBufferAsprintf(&buf, ",chardev=char%s,id=%s", dev->info.alias, dev->info.alias); - if (dev->deviceType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_DEVICE_TYPE_CHANNEL && - dev->target.name) { - virBufferAsprintf(&buf, ",name=%s", dev->target.name); + if (dev->deviceType == VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_DEVICE_TYPE_CHANNEL) { + virBufferAsprintf(&buf, ",name=%s", dev->target.name + ? dev->target.name : "com.redhat.spice.0"); } } else { virBufferAsprintf(&buf, ",id=%s", dev->info.alias); -- 188.8.131.52

Convention Expansion Approved
Commissioner Greg Cox, who also is a San Diego County supervisor, noted "near-unanimous" support of the project by public speakers, who represented the region's business community, tourism industry and labor organizations.
He and other commissioners noted their task was not to weigh the project's economic benefits, but rather the impact on views and access of the downtown waterfront. Coastal Commission staffers have recommended denying the $520 million project because it may limit access to San Diego Bay, reduce the waterfront views and eliminate a park built to mitigate construction of the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.
Construction of a pedestrian bridge from the Gaslamp Quarter over Harbor Drive to the center would resolve their access concerns, but project backers said they can't afford it.
Project boosters say the addition of 740,000 square feet to the building would give it the largest amount of contiguous floor space on the West Coast, prompting an addition of 25 major convention and trade shows annually -- equivalent to a year's worth of business currently. Interim Mayor Todd Gloria also said the expanded center would create 7,000 permanent jobs and generate an annual economic impact of $700 million in San Diego. City coffers would expand by about $13.5 million in annual tax revenues, he said.

"I think it probably did," line coach Neil Callaway said.
Two weeks ago, the Bulldog linemen found an unlikely source to relieve their frustration. Behind the line's best game of the year, Georgia (7-4) rushed for a season-high 227 yards and thrashed Auburn 37-15.
"One of the Auburn coaches came up to me after the game and shook my hand and said, 'Thank you for whipping our butt,'" senior tackle Ken Shackleford said. "I don't know if he was being sarcastic. I think he was mad at his front five because they didn't play like he thought they were going to play, or maybe we played better than what he expected us to play."
Heading into Saturday's 3:30 p.m. game against No. 16 Georgia Tech (9-2), the Bulldogs have given up the second-fewest sacks in the SEC (13) and are the sixth-best rushing team in the conference (136.5).
That's all behind a line that's played just six players in more than 80 percent of the snaps this year and shown the ill effects of that lack of depth at times.
"It gets frustrating," senior Michael Turner said. "We never fell apart as a group, but you could tell that we were tired and we let it show a few games. We finally got it together for Auburn."
Other the Florida game, the line hasn't played "that poorly," Richt said.
"I think if we h ad more depth the guys that we have would have even played better," he said. "We had a bunch of guys beat up, bruised, tired, fighting it out every week."
Callaway is happy his group -- led by senior starters Nick Jones, Daniel Inman and Shackleford and do-it-all backup Turner, another senior – is closing the season strong.
"When you've got a good bunch of guys, you want them competing and playing hard," he said. "As long as you do that, you're all right. This next game will be very important for us. We're going to have to be very sharp and focused. It'll be the most difficult challenge by far."
Georgia Tech is second in the ACC with 29 sacks. The Bulldogs have given up just four sacks in the last four games and all of those came in the aforementioned whipping against Florida.
"We've had missed assignments, but I feel as the season progressed, we played better and better each game," Turner said. "It always feels nice when you play as a whole like that and you finally click. It's bad that it happened so late in the season."

It was the 500% markups that put Roger Hardy over the edge. He'd worked for a contact-lens manufacturer and watched consumers get gouged. Boxes of brand-name products would be sold to optometrists for $12.50, he says, and then resold to patients for $60 to $75.
To break what he calls a monopoly, he set up Clearly Contacts, an online contact-lens retailer that attracted early adopters who like trying out new businesses. A few years later, he expanded into prescription glasses. "Your iPhone should not cost less than your pair of glasses," he says. With gadgets, "there's intellectual property, there's patents, there's technology, there's electrodes...versus two little pieces of plastic, two little screws and two little pieces of glass."
Year founded: 2000 Home base: Vancouver Year it went public: 2008 Growth in eyeglass shipments in first quarter of 2011: 107% Glasses as a percentage of total sales: 13
Hardy initially thought contacts could never be sold online. "We fell into the same sort of hocus-pocus that opticians and optometrists tell everyone," he says. " 'Your eyes are so unique, you need to come and see me. I'm the only one who can care for you.' "
Lessons Learned
- Listen to early adopters. "If you want to make the jump to the mainstream market, you've got to wow early customers with more than just price," Hardy says. To figure out how, he reached out to his customers by calling them at home. That was 2000. Fast-forward 10 years and communities such as Facebook groups make outreach much easier.
- Speed and ease of use matter. "We didn't go out like the average dot-com and raise $100 million and spend it all on marketing in two years," says Hardy. "We were fairly prudent in getting our offering correct and letting customers be our sales force." The company sank $8 million into manufacturing equipment, and has increased its inventory from $10 million to $25 million. "It's easier to serve an existing customer than get a new one," says Hardy.
- Make it so easy they can't say no. To make ordering glasses as simple as buying contacts, the company has a no-questions-asked return policy. Customers can also order a few pairs at a time to try out different styles. "We don't want anyone to have a reason that they didn't try it," Hardy says.

Sony BMG certainly isn't the first company to talk about this route and it won't be the last...
Speaking to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung today, the company's CEO Rolf Schmidt-Holtz couldn't have been clearer:
"We are working on an online music subscription service," he stated. "The simplest option would be a flat rate under which a monthly payment would provide access to our entire music catalogue for all digital players, including Apple's iPod. It is even possible that clients could conserve some songs indefinitely, that they would own them even after the subscription expired."
Cost was even on the table with Holtz suggesting a price of six to eight euros per month, while he admitted BMG is in talks with rival music labels to diversify content and discussions are planned with mobile telephone manufacturers.
Of course no timeframe was put on the service - just as it hasn't been by fellow dabblers Apple, Universal, Samsung, Nokia et al. One thing is becoming clear however and that is a subscription model means DRM since no company with the slightest business sense is going to risk all its tracks being snatched by prolific downloaders over a few weeks. Still, allowances for customers to 'conserve' some content is also a common consideration.
So limitless rental or niche ownership? It's going to be the next big choice for consumers...

Poultry > Canada > Grilled Paprika Chicken >
Grilled Paprika Chicken
3 to 4 each of chicken drumsticks & thighs
Black pepper
Rinse chicken in cold water; shake off excess moisture and place chicken on a large cookie sheet. Season chicken with generous portions of paprika, Lawry's Seasoned Salt and black pepper. Make sure to rub spices underneath the skin as well. Sprinkle lightly with dried cinnamon. Allow the chicken to marinate for thirty minutes to one hour. Place the chicken on a pre-heated outdoor grill, turning once, until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.
Variation: Broil chicken in oven, although this method is not as good as the outdoor grill.
Suggestion: Grill and serve with Grilled Potatoes Labrecque.

Dr Rantissi, 56, said he jumped out of his car after the first missile struck. Witnesses said seven rockets were fired in all.
He said he was wounded in the leg and chest.
Dr Rantissi is a senior political aide to Hamas founder and leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and has taken the informal role of spokesman for the Islamic group.
He has taken centre stage over the past week in rejecting calls by Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas to cease attacks on Israelis in line with the United States-backed road map for Middle East peace.
Sheikh Yassin has that vowed Israeli civilians would be targeted after yesterday's attack.
"Israel is targeting Palestinian civilians, so Israeli civilians should be targeted. From now on all Israeli people are targets," he told reporters after visiting Dr Rantissi in hospital.
"We got Israel's message. They should now expect the answer."
Hamas has carried out the bulk of anti-Israeli suicide attacks since the start of the Palestinian intifada in September 2000.

Collins ready for six-pointer
By Tom Adams
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
James Collins is relishing the chance to star in Saturday's game against Sheff Utd.
James Collins is relishing the chance to prove to West Ham fans what he is capable of and help The Hammers win their crucial relegation clash with Sheffield United on Saturday.
Alan Curbishley's side have embarked on an impressive, and deeply necessary three-game winning streak, and another victory at Bramall Lane would put them level with 17th-placed Charlton.
Collins has played a key role in claiming clean sheets in the last two wins against Middlesbrough and Arsenal, and the Welsh international insists spirits are high at Upton Park at present.
"Everyone's buzzing with the three points from the Arsenal game and there is no reason why we can't take the confidence into tomorrow [Saturday]," said Collins.
"In the last few games we have given ourselves a massive chance. Tomorrow's game is absolutely massive, it's a six-pointer.
"If we win we are right back in the fight."
Collins has suffered a stop-start season due to a number of fitness problems, but he admits that recent injuries to Matthew Upson and Danny Gabbidon have given him the perfect chance to showcase his skills.
"I still have a bit to prove to West Ham fans about what I can do," Collins added.
"Coming up to the FA Cup final last season I played somewhere near where I can but I haven't been anywhere near the level I know I can play at.
"Hopefully two clean sheets in the last two games will have shown them something.
"Because of the boys out of the side at the moment, that gave me belief that I had to come in and do well."
Hammers boss Curbishley has also welcomed Collins' input, stating: "I am glad he has come back into the team. He has brought some aggression, enthusiasm and freshness to the team."

That's why she's got all these feathers in her hair! It's no secret Jenelle Evans is one of the world's biggest Kesha fans. In 2012, a Teen Mom 2 clip of the MTV star went viral after she told her lawyer she couldn't attend her court-ordered jail time because she had "second-row tickets to see Kesha." As it turns out, the most important man in Evans' life these days -- boyfriend, David Eason -- isn't aware of her undying devotion to the "Tik Tok" singer.
"David doesn't know who @KeshaRose is !!!!!!!!!" Evans tweeted on Thursday.

Back in 2012 when the clip of Evans went viral, Kesha responded during a Huffington Post interview, saying, "She is the reason I do what I do. Go, grrl! Don't let the man hold you down! We R Who We R!!!!"
And though Evans' main squeeze isn't familiar with her self-proclaimed "idol," the North Carolina native seems willing to forgive Eason, whom she started dating this fall.

"He brings me up when I'm down, always," she captioned an Instagram pic of herself with her boyfriend on Thursday.
The pair started dating after Evans and her ex-fiance, Nathan Griffith, split for good this past summer. Evans exclusively broke the news to ET at the time, saying, "I'm enjoying being a mom. I just celebrated my first son's 6th birthday this weekend and it went fantastic. I am not looking to date anyone at the moment. I am focusing on myself."

In The Confederacy as a Revolutionary Experience (1970) and The Confederate Nation (1979), Emory Thomas redefined the field of Civil War history and reconceptualized the Confederacy as a unique entity fighting a war for survival. Inside the Confederate Nation honors his enormous contributions to the field with fresh interpretations of all aspects of Confederate life -- nationalism and identity, family and gender, battlefront and home front, race, and postwar legacies and memories. Many of the volume's twenty essays focus on individuals, households, communities, and particular regions of the South, highlighting the sheer variety of circumstances southerners faced over the course of the war. Other chapters explore the public and private dilemmas faced by diplomats, policy makers, journalists, and soldiers within the new nation. All of the essays attempt to explain the place of southerners within the Confederacy, how they came to see themselves and others differently because of secession, and the disparities between their expectations and reality.

History has it that more than 500 years ago, when the Spanish Conquistadors landed in what is now Mexico, they encountered natives practicing a ritual that seemed to mock death.
It was a ritual the indigenous people had been practicing at least 3,000 years. A ritual the Spaniards would try unsuccessfully to eradicate. A ritual known today as Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. The ritual is celebrated in Mexico and certain parts of the United States.
Although the ritual has since been merged with Catholic theology, it still maintains the basic principles of the Aztec ritual, such as the use of skulls.
Today, people don wooden skull masks called calacas and dance in honor of their deceased relatives. The wooden skulls are also placed on altars that are dedicated to the dead. Sugar skulls, made with the names of the dead person on the forehead, are eaten by a relative or friend, according to Mary J. Adrade, who has written three books on the ritual.
The Aztecs and other Meso-American civilizations kept skulls as trophies and displayed them during the ritual. The skulls were used to symbolize death and rebirth.
The skulls were used to honor the dead, whom the Aztecs and other Meso-American civilizations believed came back to visit during the month long ritual.
Unlike the Spaniards, who viewed death as the end of life, the natives viewed it as the continuation of life. Instead of fearing death, they embraced it. To them, life was a dream and only in death did they become truly awake.

7/1 June sales figures:
19,794 for the month. YTD Subaru is up 5%.
Inventory dropped in June due to steady sales but fewer deliveries as a result of the March earthquake. All models are impacted but especially Japan-built Impreza and Forester. While US-built Outback sales is up 21% and Legacy is up 15% for the month, Impreza is down 45% and Forester is down 28% because the cars just aren't available to buy. Tribeca is consistent just under 200 per month.
YTD through June, Subaru is still up 5% for the year which is impressive. If there had been no earthquake they would be having another huge giant year. Looking forward through July , inventory is expected to be much lower than usual but will hopefully start to increase after that. There will be pent-up demand as buyers wait for 2012s and an improved selection, especially of hard to find models.

Fullerton man stands up to thug, gets shot at 3 times
Leg wound makes Narasimha Murthy think twice about self-defense in wake of afternoon shooting.
By BARBARA GIASONE
The Orange County Register
FULLERTON Traffic engineer Narasimha Murthy couldn't shake the morning newspaper story from his mind.
A social worker in Santa Ana told an Orange County Register reporter he was tired of neighborhood violence. When the employee told a tough-looking teen to leave the area, the boy responded, "You'll be dead tomorrow." The adult didn't back off; he stood up to the threat and called police.
Seven hours later, Murthy stood in a similar situation with one difference: He was shot at three times.
"I'm lucky to be alive," said the Fullerton resident, nursing wounds from one bullet that pierced his calf muscle and exited through the back of the leg. The other two bullets missed, and hit the sidewalk.
He sat in his kitchen Thursday going over his videotape of the Jan. 29 incident frame-by-frame. A copy was given to the police and FBI, he said.
Murthy's confrontation began at 3 in the afternoon at the corner of Arlington Avenue and 27th Street in southwest Los Angeles. The engineer was videoing traffic signals in a bid for a school traffic study. His camera was focused on cars whizzing through the intersection, but also captured a softer image of a man leaning against a lamppost.
Once the man spotted Murthy, he walked toward him.
The camera kept rolling as the man tried to snatch it.
The two struggled.
"I hung on best I could, and then I remembered the news article," Murthy said. The Santa Ana victim said if people are going to create change, they have to confront violence and street terrorism.
"I kicked the guy in the groin," said Murthy, 50. "It must have got him mad, because he pulled a 9 mm gun from his pocket and shot me.
"I didn't give up just like the man in the newspaper story," Murthy said. "My family said it was foolish of me, but I kept fighting back. The guy took off with my BlackBerry."
Murthy walked about 100 yards before he saw blood oozing onto his slacks. Passersby called 911, and he was taken to the Olympia Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for six hours.
He gave police a full report and the videotape that showed his assailant.
Los Angeles Police Department officer Julie Sohn said an assault with a deadly weapon report had been filed with the city's southwest division. No suspect has been arrested, police said.
While recounting the incident in his east Fullerton home, Murthy said he was so sure he could stand up to one thug.
"Like the guy in the article said, we the people have to make the sacrifice to save our community and be brave," Murthy said. "But I never expected to face anything like this at 3 in the afternoon in broad daylight."

text: Scholars have begun to conclude, contrary to popular belief, that Mass facing the people was not in fact the regular practice of the early Church, and that Mass facing east has been the historic norm. "As I have written in my books, I think that celebration turned towards the east, towards the Christ who is coming, is an apostolic tradition," wrote Pope Benedict XVI in 2004, while still Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (Looking Again at the Question of the Liturgy with Cardinal Ratzinger: Proceedings of the July 2001 Fontgombault Liturgical Conference, 151). In fact, those parts of the early Catholic world in which the sacrificial aspect of the Mass was best understood were most likely to celebrate Mass ad orientem. "The common direction of priest and people is intrinsically fitting and proper to the liturgical action," Cardinal Ratzinger explained (Foreword, Turning Towards the Lord: Orientation in Liturgical Prayer by U.M.

BILOXI, Miss. — If you are looking for a die-hard Saints fanatic, Peggy Byrd would be the one. Her entire office is decked out in black and gold. And you won't believe what's in her home.
"I have a Saints clock, Saints rug, Saints jewelry. I even have embroidered Saints 'Who Dat' toilet paper," said Byrd.
And a piece of paper on her desk serves as a true testament of her faith in her favorite team.
Byrd is an investments vice president at Peoples Bank in downtown Biloxi. Thirty-one years ago, she made a bet with her boss, bank president Chevis Swetman. It started off as a weekly wager paid with beer.
"One day, he said 'Peggy, you've paid me so much beer, just forget it. You'll never go to the Super Bowl.' So that's when I came up with the idea of doing this contract," said Byrd.
That contract states that if the Saints ever make it to the Super Bowl, Swetman would pay all the expenses for Byrd and her husband to attend the game. That includes tickets to the game, travel and lodging. Byrd even had the contract signed, notarized, and hidden in a safe deposit box.
"Otherwise, Mr. Swetman would be searching my office," said Byrd.
Now that the Saints are just one game away from the big match in Miami, Byrd already has her bags packed. She is looking forward to having a hotel suite on Miami Beach and a limousine ride to the game and to NFL parties. When asked how much the package would cost, Byrd answered, "Oh, probably about $25,000. What's that to Chevis? He's the president of a bank."
"She said she wanted low tickets on the 50-yard-line. But if you look at that document, it doesn't say anything about 50 yard lines. So she'll be lucky to get nose bleed end zone," said Swetman with a smile.
Swetman, who said he is nervous, said he signed the agreement because he gave up on the Saints back in 1979.
"I have to admit, I'm a little concerned at this point, just a little," said Swetman. "They've never been this far before."
While Swetman is pulling for the Vikings this weekend, the bank staff is rooting for Byrd and the guys in black and gold.
"I have faith in history and she's going down," said Swetman.
"No, I'm up for the fight." Byrd told him.
Saints Super Bowl bet has boss nervous
BILOXI, Miss. — If you are looking for a die-hard Saints fanatic, Peggy Byrd would be the one. Her entire office is decked out in black and gold. And you won't believe what's in her home.

Method for fixing deep scratches and rock chips

I had a chance to use the Langka products yesterday. My analysis summary:
Great product for deep rock chips and deep scratches. Works as advertised, removing excess paint.
Its "okay" for scratches that penetrate thru to the primer (white finish showing, can feel it with fingernail) but in most cases one must again put touch up paint on and remove it again, until you get just the right removal of the paint with the Langka product. I found myself removing all the paint a couple of times in the shallow scratches, even with a light touch.
Overall, I'd say this product doesn't exactly replace the old fashioned method of sanding in *some cases* of shallow primer scratches, but its a "must have" on the detail shelf for those quick and dirty rock chips jobs.
I tried to photograph the "stages" I went thru, and before and after results, but as you can see, the reflection of my Jet Black is just too overwhelming to see anything. The pics below are the product ($44 with shipping) and a "Before" pic of paint applied to a shallow scratch. No "After" pic because frankly there was too much reflection, and this type of shallow scratch was difficult to see to begin with.
The full product contains a pre-paint cleaner (Alcohol would have been a good substitute), the "Blob" remover, a "Paint sealer" (P21S would have worked in a similiar fashion), a small paint brush (I had a few of these already) and a card ( a credit card would have been sufficient). I'd recommend getting just the "Blob" remover if you plan to purchase this, and use the products I suggested above for replacements.

The Green Hornet
Though The Green Hornet, in some ways, seems uneven and never achieves the brilliance of Michel Gondry's past accomplishments, it certainly improves upon the standards of the current superhero genre. Invoking old-fashioned crimefighting franchises, and even buddy-cop flicks of the 1980s, the film entertains through and through as a hilarious mishmash of slapstick, satire and over-the-top action. It betters the unfunny cynicism of Christopher Nolan's Batman series, as well as Jon Favreau's self-absorbed, politically-jumbled Iron Man.
With a premise akin to those films, The Green Hornet deals with family issues and egotism. When underachieving playboy Britt Reid (Seth Rogen) finds his newspaper tycoon father dead and inherits his media empire, he becomes overwhelmed by daddy problems and discontentment, leading him to try to make something of himself. So with Kato (Jay Chou), a technology and martial arts expert, as his superior sidekick and Black Beauty as his souped-up ride, Reid takes on the name Green Hornet and begins to fight crime on the streets of Los Angeles, including Russian crime lord Benjamin Chudnofsky, played riotously by Christoph Waltz.
The plot may appear hackneyed, because to some degree it is, but to criticize it for that seems to miss the point. Gondry, working from a script by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, purposefully spins a story similar to the likes of Nolan and Favreau, revealing how those hip filmmakers have deadened the genre by taking themselves too seriously. But The Green Hornet differentiates itself through Reid's motivation. Whereas Bruce Wayne may seek justice, Reid unapologetically fights crime to receive glory and attention. As the new publisher of his father's newspaper, he demands the Green Hornet make the headline of every paper, and Kato rightfully calls him an egomaniac. Satirizing the praise that surrounds the narcissistic superheroes of today like, say, Tony Stark, Gondry challenges us to revaluate why we extol these masked heroes and, perhaps, why they have grown so popular in culture.
Gondry's spoof of the genre persists in the relationship between Reid and Kato. Made effective by amusing chemistry between Rogen and Chou, the mismatched duo exposes the marginalizing dynamics of ethnic sidekicks. Though others critics continue to mistake the disconnect as a misstep in the script, the satirical device surely makes itself apparent. The inferiority of the Green Hornet to Kato is so vivid that it's ridiculous. Kato makes the tricked-out Black Beauty and other weapons. Kato does all the fighting. He, in fact, has the uncanny ability to stop time when his heart races. Kato gets the girl. Kato saves the day—twice. Gondry, intentionally, portrays Kato as the real genius behind The Green Hornet to make a point, which doesn't just spread to the genre it criticizes but to the repressive society in which it exists.
But if Gondry's satire doesn't transcend, and it obviously hasn't so far, his film still makes for fine entertainment on the surface, as well as a fresh take on the superhero genre. Evoking the kind of creative moves we saw in last year's underrated Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, the action sequences result in visual splendor. In an early scene where Kato rescues Reid and takes on an entire gang of criminals, Gondry plays with pacing, slowing down and speeding up the action, as Kato's mind stops during the moment of crisis. Gondry's innovative mixing of the real and surreal, something even more realized in The Science of Sleep, surpasses anything Nolan has done visually.
The Green Hornet finds its best moments, nevertheless, through its humor, which Gondry juxtaposes in various forms. After a quarrel between Reid and Kato, there's a scene in which Kato is shown updating his resume, adding "sidekick" to his job list. The funniest moment, though, takes place early in the film when the duo goes out to fight crime: When riding in Black Beauty, they take turns singing and rapping Coolio's famous hit, "Gangster's Paradise." Though overused and somewhat typecast, Seth Rogen still proves funny with his irreverent sense of humor. His physical comedy fits seamlessly with Reid's obnoxious personality and partnership with Chou's Kato, whose wit and subtlety contrast him. But Waltz eventually steals the show as Chudnofsky. The exaggerated, cartoonish villain, who always worries about looking fearful enough, goes through a midlife crisis and starts calling himself Bloodnofsky to compete with the Green Hornet.
Alas, moviegoers may not know what to do with all this fun and silliness. Like Ang Lee's 2003 The Hulk, Gondry's update to the genre may just be too original. Tainted by the empty, over-serious nihilism of today's superhero movies, viewers and critics alike will surely dismiss The Green Hornet as a goofy, meaningless failure for Rogen and Gondry. But if they only give it a chance and find Gondry's vision, they might just never look at The Dark Knight the same, maybe asking, why so serious?

The latest superhero films are serious because they're the first ones that can be. The genre has finally gotten to a point where it can exist on its own instead of nudging and joking its way through the film. X-Men was the first superhero film to really take itself seriously and it's built from there. Still, you've got a great point. Dark doesn't always equal good.
I don't know if I want to go see this or not, I just am not sure I can get my mind to wrap my mind around Seth being a superhero. Maybe on video...

Many of today's financial services websites seem increasingly outdated. Why? More and more people are using the web as their primary banking channel and firms like Amazon, Apple, and Google are raising the bar on what customers — especially the younger generation — expect from their banks.
Despite the fact that the online channel is more than a decade old, most retail financial services companies have yet to make full use of its potential. Many banks still don't make it easy for customers to achieve their goals online, they struggle to provide compelling cross-channel experiences, fail to tailor content and functionality to individual needs, and don't enable customers sufficiently to take action by themselves.
We believe that a new generation of digital financial services is required — one that provides a fundamentally improved digital experience. To be successful, these next-generation digital financial services should be SUPER — simple, ubiquitous, personal, empowering, and reassuring.
This framework presents Forrester's vision of the of future of digital financial services and describes the technologies, processes, and organizational aspects that will enable it. It also provides examples of leading financial services firms that provide next-generation experiences today.
A key enabler of the Next-Generation is Agile Commerce which means optimizing people, processes, and technology to serve today's empowered, ever-connected customers across a rapidly evolving set of customer touchpoints.

[With apologies to all those of you who had already read this, I'm re-publishing this as the Forrester gremlins ate my previous post.]
For the past few years, many eBusiness and channel strategy executives in financial services have had a nagging sense that today's websites would be rendered obsolete as new technologies emerged or younger consumers developed radically different behaviour patterns. We think that time if fast coming upon us.
For the past six months we've been working on our vision of the Next Generation of Digital Financial Services, led by my colleague Alexander Hesse and inspired by the work of leading eBusiness teams worldwide. Although our vision is not an exact description of how all digital financial services will evolve, given the wide variety of markets that eBusiness executives operate in and the different strategies of their firms, we think the next generation of digital financial services will be characterized by five things:

BBC's One Planet Highlights Seasteading
BBC's One Planet included an interview with Patri Friedman for an episode about floating cities. Patri's contribution starts at about 11 minutes into the 18 minutes show.
One Planet described the show, "As architects and builders look for new ways to house the world's ever-expanding urban population, they're starting to turn to new horizons – out on the water. One Planet visits the Netherlands to see a floating home in Amsterdam, and speak to an architect planning a whole floating housing estate. Plus, we speak to the Californian thinktank planning new communities on the high seas, and visit the floating markets in Bangkok."
One Comment on "BBC's One Planet Highlights Seasteading"
After the interview with Patri, the host asks Kun Oldhouse about his view on seasteading. He replies with "Seasteading is good for the future, but I want to see things happen in the next 10 years. We should improve our current cities".
I expect to see results from Seasteading sooner than 10 years. Hopefully we can have something on the water in the next 5 years. I hope it's not as far into the future as Kun Oldhouse believes.
Our current cities are land-locked in an obsolete and rigid political environment that is entirely harmful for most of the people living in them, if we consider the potential of people as humans.
Trying to improve our current cities is a dead-end effort, which just wastes the resources spent on it. The only worthwhile way to spend those resources now is to put them into Seasteading. Everything else is a waste.

The Seattle Seahawks capped off an incredible season with a dominating 43-8 Super Bowl XLVIII win over the Denver Broncos. Seattle was in a similar position to the Oakland Raiders finishing with a 4-12 record, then a 5-11 record in 2008 and 2009. Seattle turned it around by building a fantastic, physical defense capable of taking over game.
With the rebuilding process underway in Oakland, the Raiders brought in two defensive minded leaders to run the team. General manager Reggie McKenzie comes from a defensive background as a former linebacker. Head coach Dennis Allen is a former defensive coordinator and grew up in the league on the defensive side of the ball. The Raiders front office and staff have been unable to really put their stamp on this team because of salary cap woes and limited resources to bring in players. This is the first offseason where McKenzie and Allen will have the ability to hand select free agents to make a run at. Chances are they will build through the defense.
Oakland also has a glaring hole at quarterback which is as important to fill. However, the Raiders need to go the defensive route to get back into contention quickly. For the Seahawks, they hit on late round draft picks and made hundreds of transactions to rebuild their roster. The Raiders are in a similar situation. Because of their cap issues, they could only get players on one or two year deals. They did not have a first round draft choice in two of the last three seasons. It is a roster void of talent.
Even though defense is the background of the coach and general manager, the product of the field has been awful. The Raiders have finished near the bottom of the league in defense both seasons with Allen as the head coach. They made slim improvements this season, but that came with 10 new starters on defense. They will again be rebuilding the defense this offseason. Continuity is important especially on defense, so guys can development chemistry and a comfort playing with each other. That is the task this offseason. The Raiders have the cap space and 2014 NFL Draft picks to build a defense to last. Now they have to find the right combination of players for them to make it work.

Musician Bob Geldof's daughter Peaches died of a heroin overdose, the same cause of death as that of her mother, Paula Yates, in 2000, The Times newspaper reported yesterday.
The 25-year-old model died suddenly on April 7 at her countryside home in southern England, but a postmortem examination proved inconclusive.
However, Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fotheringham was due to tell a hearing in Gravesend, Kent, yesterday that toxicology tests showed she had died of a heroin overdose, the newspaper reported.
Peaches, who wrote for British magazines and newspapers and presented a number of celebrity-driven television shows, was found dead at home, where she was looking after 11-month-old son Phaedra.
[1]Husband Thomas Cohen, 23, had spent the previous night apart from his wife and was looking after their elder son, 23-month-old Astala. He raised the alarm when he could not contact her by phone.
Police searched the property for drug paraphernalia, but found none.
Supermodel Kate Moss was among a host of celebrities who attended last month's funeral at a village church filled with memories for the tragedy-hit family.
Peaches' body was carried into St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence church in Davington, Kent, in a white coffin.
The church, which is next to the Geldof family estate, was the venue for the funeral of Yates.
The television presenter accidentally overdosed on heroin while looking after four-year-old daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily at their London home.
The night before her death Peaches posted online a photograph of herself with her mother.
Bob Geldof, former singer with The Boomtown Rats and founder of the Live Aid charity concert, has said his family is suffering "beyond pain" at the death of his second daughter.
A self-confessed "wild child" in her youth, she had become an advocate of "attachment parenting" after becoming a mother.
Coroner Roger Hatch is set to adjourn the inquest until July.

Hohner selects ARC for project
Citizen Staff Reports 10/06/12
Hohner, Inc, recently selected the Greater Richmond ARC to package more that 5,000 Blues Band harps for sale nationwide in music outlets. This is the third year that Hohner, a worldwide manufacturer and supplier of musical instruments with its U.S. headquarters in Richmond, has selected ARC (a not-for-profit organization that serves people with developmental disabilities) for a project.
The work is being carried out by adults with special needs in ARC's Industrial Services program (including John Gentry, pictured). Providing opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities is especially critical as employment opportunities are fewer for those with disabilities than for those without, says the organization.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to serve Hohner while providing training and work for individuals with developmental disabilities," added ARC's director of business development, Michael Foley.

No. 1 USC Men's Volleyball Goes 5 Sets Second Night In Row To Beat No. 2 BYU
March 5, 2011
TweetCLICK FOR TICKETSWATCH LIVE
For the second consecutive night, the No. 1-ranked USC men's volleyball team needed 5 dramatic sets to beat No. 2 BYU, this time by a score of 25-18, 23-25, 25-16, 22-25, 15-10, in a Mountain Pacific Sports Federation match in front of 3,000 fans on Saturday (March 5) in USC's Galen Center.
Friday's (March 4) score was 25-21, 17-25, 25-17, 21-25, 15-12 in favor of the Trojans.
The big crowd turnout was due in part to the post-match jersey retirement ceremony for former USC All-Americans and Olympians Dusty Dvorak and Celso Kalache. Dozens of former Trojan players were in attendance to honor Dvorak and Kalache, including such greats as Tim Hovland, Steve Timmons, Bryan Ivie, Tom Duke, Donald Suxho, Bob Yoder, Bill Yardley, Nick Becker, Lawrence Hom, Bill Stetson and former coach Ernie Hix.
With the victory, USC upped its overall and MPSF records to 12-1. It is the Trojans' best overall 13-match start since 2000 (also 12-1) and best MPSF 13-match start since 1994 (also 12-1).
BYU fell to 13-6 overall and 9-5 in the MPSF.
All-American Murphy Troy led USC with 18 kills while hitting .438. He added 8 digs and 3 blocks. His ace in the second set was the 125th of his career, a new USC rally scoring era career record (breaking Joao Grangeiro's mark set from 2003 to 2006).
Tri Bourne added 16 kills (hitting .483) and 10 digs for USC, Austin Zahn had 13 kills (hitting .611) with 4 blocks, Tony Ciarelli had 8 kills, 7 blocks, 5 digs and 2 aces, Steven Shandrick had 7 blocks, Henry Cassiday had a match-high 15 digs and Riley McKibbin contributed 58 assists, 7 digs and 3 blocks.
For BYU, Robb Stowell had a match-best 22 kills with 10 digs and 3 blocks, Taylor Sander added 17 kills and 9 digs, Futi Tavana had 11 kills (hitting .611), BJ Hiapo had 14 digs and setter Joe Kauliakamoa came off the bench in the second set and posted 45 assists.
Overall, USC outhit (.346 to .218) and outblocked (13.0 to 6.0) BYU and served more aces (5 to 1).
In the first set, USC got off to a 4-2 lead and never relinquished it while hitting .440.
BYU then clawed back from a 14-9 deficit in the second set, scoring 4 straight points to gain a 24-22 lead (the Cougars hit .457 to USC's .464).
USC got it back together quickly in the third set, forging an 8-4 lead and steadily pulling away while hitting .360 (BYU hit just .071) and getting 5 blocks.
Like it did in the second set, BYU fought back from a big deficit in the fourth set, overcoming a 16-11 gap by going ahead 18-17 and then holding off the Trojans.
The final set was full of momentum shifts as BYU began with 3-0 and 5-1 leads, but USC scored 5 unanswered points with Bourne serving to go up 7-6, then built it to 9-7 only to have the Cougars knot it at 9-9 before the Trojans had another 5-point run to gain control of the match.
USC continues on a 6-match homestand next week by hosting No. 13 UC San Diego on Friday (March 11) and No. 7 UC Irvine on Saturday (March 12). Both MPSF matches start at 7 p.m. in the Galen Center.

Thank you everybody for drawing my attention to older posts.
None of the solutions presented is optimal, in the sense that it does
not reproduce the standard GUI submenu that we find in the common Op.

My conclusion is that Wolfram should offer a submenu facility in Mathematica.
I am surprised they have not thought of it yet.
I will try to see if I can improve on the given solutions and will

Rights activists have launched a campaign urging South Korea to cancel an imminent shipment of over 1.6 million tear gas canisters allegedly ordered by Bahraini authorities battling a two-and-a-half-year-long rebellion.
An unverified document dated June 16, 2013 obtained this week by the monitoring group Bahrain Watch shows that Bahrain's Ministry of Interior has requested an order of 1.6 million tear gas shells, 145,000 stun and flash grenades, and 90,000 tear gas grenades.
The massive figure startled observers who pointed out that the quantity was larger than the entire 1.2 million population of Bahrain, half of which is comprised of foreigners and migrant workers not involved in the largely-peaceful, anti-government movement.
"I think if you look at the scale and frequency of the use of tear gas in Bahrain, it's unprecedented anywhere in the world," Alaa Shehabi, a founding member of Bahrain Watch which is behind the Stop the Shipment campaign, told Al-Akhbar.
"They (police) are using hundreds of rounds on a nightly basis, … so they need this amount to sustain the constant state of repression."
Shehabi added that her group has received information that the order is expected to be delivered before the end of this month.
"We've had, in the last 24 hours since we launched the campaign, 11,000 e-mails sent to Korean agencies involved in shipment," Shehabi said.
Heeding activists' calls, the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions have condemned the tear gas deal and urged authorities to prevent the shipment, citing humanitarian concerns.
The procurement tender does not specify the supplier of the weapons, but activists say that the bulk of the tear gas that reaches the tiny Gulf island is manufactured by two South Korean companies and a joint German-South African one.
Rheinmetall Denel Munition, the German-South African company, and South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration both declined to comment on the alleged deal.
Police have killed at least 89 people since the anti-government uprising erupted in February 2011, according to the Bahrain Center for Human Rights. Of those victims, 39 died from tear-gas related attacks including suffocation and direct shots to the head, records from Physicians for Human Rights show.
Authorities have so far been unable to quell the nearly daily demonstrations that persist across Bahraini villages against the widely-detested, US-backed monarchy. Dozens of human rights activists, doctors and political opponents have been jailed since the start of the uprising.
Over the past month alone, Bahrain sentenced 104 protest leaders to prison terms of up to 15 years on "terrorism" related charges.

138th Commencement activities
Student awards include the Argonaut Award, which is presented annually to the graduating senior with the highest cumulative grade-point average, and the Edith Farr Ridington Phi Beta Kappa Writing Award for the best Honors paper.
At 8:30 a.m. on Commencement day, 11 graduating seniors, who are members of the College's Army ROTC program, will be commissioned as second lieutenants into the U.S. Army. The graduates, part of the Green Terror Battalion, come from McDaniel, Mount St. Mary's and Hood College. The presentation will feature guest speaker Brigadier General Blake Edwin Williams, deputy commander of the First Army Division East.
McDaniel's annual Baccalaureate Service will be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 23, in Baker Memorial Chapel.
Honorary degree recipients and speakers at the 138th Commencement include Helen Thomas, reporter and columnist for Hearst Newspapers, and James Melhorn, President and CEO of EMA Inc. and McDaniel College Board Chair Emeritus.
During her 50-year career in journalism, Thomas became well known for her incisive questions as correspondent and White House bureau chief for United Press International. She is now a columnist for Hearst Newspapers. Often called the "First Lady of the Press," Thomas covered every president since John F. Kennedy. She has traveled around the world with Presidents Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H. Bush, and Clinton and continues to cover the presidency of George W. Bush.
In 1974, she became the first female White House bureau chief of a wire service. She was the first woman officer of the National Press Club, the White House Correspondents Association, and the first woman member of the Gridiron Club.
Thomas is the author of four books, "Thanks for the Memories Mr. President: Wit and Wisdom from the Front Row at the White House," "Watchdogs of Democracy?: The Waning Washington Press Corps and How It Has Failed the Public," "Dateline: White House," and "Front Row at the White House: My Life and Times."
Among many awards and accolades, the Washington Press Association Foundation recently gave Thomas a Lifetime Achievement Award. She was presented with an Intrepid Award from the National Organization of Women and is the recipient of the Helen Thomas Lifetime Achievement Award from the White House Correspondents Association and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Women's Media Foundation. In 1976, the World Almanac named Thomas as one of the "25 Most Influential Women in America."
She earned her bachelor's degree from Wayne State University in Detroit, Mich.
In his top leadership position with EMA, Inc., Melhorn oversees the operations of 12 subsidiary corporations. He has been recognized in the field of gerontology for his longtime advocacy for the needs of the elderly.
The company and its subsidiaries provide residential living, assisted living and comprehensive nursing service to senior citizens. Sixteen hundred people live in EMA facilities. The aging association is affiliated with the American Association of Homes for the Aging, a national organization of which Melhorn has served as a member of the House of Delegates since 1987.
A member of the College Board since 1993, Melhorn served as its chair from 1996 to 2007. He led the College through an historic name change, two major fundraising campaigns, and inaugurated a new president. He also was instrumental in acquiring the Jessie Ball duPont grant to support the Center for the Study of Aging and established a partnership between McDaniel and EMA, Inc. to support the Center. Melhorn also serves on the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges Chair Council.
Melhorn has also been a member of the board of directors at Target Community and Educational Service, Inc. He has served on the board of the American Heart Association's Marlyand affiliate, is a member of the BB&T Bank advisory board, and has served as a vice president of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce and as president of the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce. He has also chaired the Continuing Care Advisory Board at Maryland's Office on Aging, and chaired the board of directors at the Clover White Foundation.
Melhorn earned in 1964 a bachelor's degree in Political Science and Philosophy from Lebanon Valley College, a master's of divinity from United Theological Seminary in 1967, and completed additional graduate work at North Texas State University.

Today I was put into a situation entering a parking garage. The gate arm wouldn't open. The nose of my 1999 Grand Voyager 3.3 Flex van was pointed down the entrance ramp.
I placed the transmission in reverse and applied the throttle to back out of the entrance (to reverse going uphill). I was rewarded with smoke coming out of the driver side wheel well and NO rearward movement. The van did shudder a bit before the smoke.
A maintenance person got the gate working and I was able to drive the van down into the garage. I parked it and took care of my business. When I was leaving I started the van and placed it in reverse no movement. The tach RPMs did not drop like they had a load.
I physically pushed the van out of the parking space (flat surface) and then placed it in drive and drove up the ramp with no problems. I drove on the highway at 60 mph on the way home and it seemed normal. No warning lights have come on no check engine.
I get home and put the shifter in reverse no movement.
There is handwriting on the trans case indicating a date and mileage of the rebuild. It was rebuilt in 2007 with 115,000 miles on the van. It now has 150,800 miles. Im the 3rd owner.
27 years ago I was a trained auto tech. I surmise that a reverse band has failed. Ive read some threads here about changing the solenoid pack but Im pretty sure that is not the cause.
I'm eager to hear any opinions or experiences from fellow minivan owners. Thanks.

Posted Nov. 6, 2007 – The woman at the center of Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman's racial tirade, which was broadcast throughout the Web and broadcast outlets all over the country, says she rejects his apology.
Chapman's A&E cable show "Dog the Bounty Hunter" was suspended from production last week after a telephone call Chapman made to his son was made public.
In the conversation, he demands that his son, pictured above, break up with his Black girlfriend, also pictured above. He uses the word n**ger numerous times and suggests that the girlfriend might reveal that Chapman uses racist language. He later apologized publicly and has sought counsel from civil rights activist Al Sharpton.
The girlfriend, Monique Shinnery, says the matter's not resolved.
"I think Duane's apology was pathetic because it was not directed toward us," she says. "He didn't personally call (Chapman's son) Tucker or me to apologize. His attorney, Brook Hart, did. So I, personally, don't accept it."
It was later revealed that Tucker sold the recording of his father's tirade to the media.

In this glamorous self-portrait as a young art student, Luis Meléndez exudes confidence. Ranked first in his class at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid, the son of a prominent artist, he is poised for success. But Meléndez died in poverty. The about one hundred paintings he left us are not grand history paintings or royal portraits, but humble still lifes. What happened? The story begins with his father, Francisco.
Francisco Meléndez was the official miniature painter to the Spanish King, Philip V. He was also a founding professor of Spain's first art academy. Fiery and impetuous, he protested after losing an Academy commission that the school was poisoned by an atmosphere of jealousy and malice. After circulating a letter denouncing the Academy as a "very small organization for my talents," he was ousted, forbidden from ever entering the school again.
His son was also expelled. Despite his obvious talent, Luis' career never recovered. Meléndez, haunted throughout his life by his father's letter, was repeatedly denied positions at the Academy and at court.
