Event Details
Crab feed? Annual? What are you talking about?
The St Martin of Tours Crab Feed has been an annual tradition here at the St Martin of Tours of San Jose Parish for many years. This year's crab feed is coordinated by the Men's Club, and is a way for the parish to come together as a community while enjoying great food and great friends while supporting the parish. All proceeds directly benefit the St. Martin of Tours parish.
What's on the Menu? (besides crab, that is....)
This year we will be expanding the food offerings, with help from Jake Caputo, adding more salad choices, three choices of pasta sauce, clam chowder and the original cracked Dungeness Crab. (YUM!) We will start with salad on the table and open several small buffet tables with soup and pasta. The crab will be as it was last year, delivered to your table and dessert and coffee will follow. The bar will be no-host with many different bottles of wine and several choices of beer, sodas and other non-alcoholic choices.
The Bellarmine Filipino hip-hop dance troupe will be performing and much, much more.
Seating is limited to 300, so be sure to get your tickets before they sell out.
Can I reserve a whole table?
Absolutely! If you prefer, you can reserve an whole table in advance. Your reserved table comes with 8 adult tickets and 4 children's tickets, your choice of 4 bottles of wine from the bar, unlimited drinks for you and your table and a dedicated server. (no waiting for crab!) This is a great way to avoid the hassles of lining up early for a seat. There is a limited amount of tables available for purchase. Contact Frank Lux (firstname.lastname@example.com or 408-505-7453) to reserve your table now!

"I suppose I'm following in the footsteps of two people who left Ireland in famine times with probably no more than the clothes they wore," Mayor Padraig Conneely said, referring to Dennis Oliver and his brother-in-law, D.C. McGlynn, who came to the United States from the Menlough area in Galway, Ireland, during the 1850s and erected an arched gate here with the words "Menlo Park" on it. (When a railroad stop opened nearby in 1863, it was named after the words on the gate.)
Menlo Park Mayor Peter Ohtaki (dubbed with an honorary Irish surname "O'Taki") described the state of Menlo Park, California, as strong. Empty storefronts downtown are being replaced by businesses such as the Refuge restaurant and the LEGO store, Build It Again With Bricks. On a recent trip to the East Coast he was delighted to find that people no longer confuse Menlo Park, California, with the eponymous community near Edison, New Jersey.
The progress comes at a price, with traffic and economic vibrancy clashing with village character, Mayor Ohtaki said. "We must solve the bottleneck of El Camino Real." Compromises with the proposed Stanford-Arrillaga development will continue to be worked out, as will any revisions to the downtown/El Camino Real specific plan.
The friendship agreement is a symbolic gesture indicating the two cities aspire to build a connection without committing either city to fund programs such as cultural exchanges, Mayor Ohtaki told the Almanac.

"I guess they went to DSM-IV, but perhaps did not know about DSM-5," alarcon said with a laugh.
As alarcon had never seen an alligator he took the description to mean crocodile.
alarcon was looking for and expecting to meet Coronado at any time.
But alarcon was not of a retreating disposition; the fierce Colorado had now met its first conqueror.
But it was an unknown quantity at the time of alarcon's visit, so far as white men were concerned.
alarcon, a member of the party of the sea captain Uloa, was the first man to reach the Colorado.
But the old man declared alarcon to be the son of the sun and took his part.
alarcon relates that the tribes seen on the Rio Colorado by him in 1541, wore on one arm "certain small pipes of cane."
Who could preach with more wit a brief sermon like this than alarcon?
alarcon must now have been about at the mouth of the Gila, and the river referred to was, of course, the Gila.

FFRF 'stands up' for Ohio students (April 19, 2012)
Students at Lakeside High School (Ashtabula, Ohio) will no longer be forced to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance, thanks to the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt informed Superintendent Joseph Donatone of this blatant First Amendment violation via an April 13 letter of complaint. She pointed out that some faculty members required that students participate in the pledge against their will. "Students have a constitutional right not to be forced to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance or to be compelled to stand for its recitation," advised Schmitt.
Schmitt added that students should not be singled out, told they must stand, or otherwise be penalized for following their freedom of conscience.
Donatone promptly replied to Schmitt's letter on April 19: "We can assure you that we recognize our students' right not to participate in the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and we have directed our staff accordingly."
FFRF to Georgia judge: Send aid, not bibles (April 19, 2012)
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has put an end to a Douglas County (Douglasville, Ga.) judge's inappropriate use of county resources to promote the Christian message.
The judge was using county supplies to collect new and used bibles and distribute them to "persons around the globe who do not have the resources to get bibles." She also solicited the bibles through the county newsletter and collected the bibles at the courthouse. FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt took issue with this flagrant violation. Schmitt sent an April 13 letter to Douglas County officials: "This use of County resources to solicit and distribute Christian bibles violates the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The sole purpose of the judge's endeavor is to benefit a religious organization — the Christian church."
Schmitt noted that the judge's actions also violated the Georgia Constitution. The law advises that "[n]o money shall ever be taken from the public treasury, directly or indirectly, in aid of any church, sect, cult, or religious denomination or of any sectarian institution."
A secretary for the Chief Magistrate promptly responded to Schmitt with positive news. During a phone conversation the secretary confirmed that bibles will no longer be accepted/delivered to the courthouse. She added that there will not be any more advertisements for the fundraiser.
FFRF puts an end to postal worker's proselytizing (April 11, 2012)
FFRF Senior Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert sent a Feb. 17, 2012, letter of complaint to an Oklahoma City post office after a local complainant reported an egregious violation.
One of the postal workers distributed proselytizing Christmas messages in the mailboxes on his route. In her letter, Markert pointed out that this violated not only the Establishment Clause, but postal regulations.
Manager Kreg Stockstill responded April 11, apologizing for the inappropriate action and confirming that the office had "addressed all concerns raised with a thorough investigative process and ha[d] taken all corrective action as needed."
FFRF turns the page on North Dakota bible distribution (April 9, 2012)
Hagan Elementary School in Williston, N.D., will no longer permit representatives of Gideons International to distribute bibles to its youngest students.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation took issue with a particularly egregious situation that occurred in a fifth grade classroom. Students returning from music class found bibles placed on each of their desks. The teacher then led the class in a discussion of the bible. "It is unconstitutional for public school districts to allow the distribution of bibles during the school day. Courts uniformly have held the distribution of bibles to students at public schools during instructional time is prohibited," wrote FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt in a letter of complaint to Superintendent Viola LaFontaine.
Schmitt maintained that Williston Schools may not allow Gideons or any other religious groups, to enter school property to distribute religious literature, or to engage in bible discussions.
In an April 9 response letter LaFontaine affirmed, "Please be assured this will not happen again and bibles will not be distributed in any of the Williston Public School District #1 Schools."
FFRF tightens security at a Wisconsin hospital (April 9, 2012)
The University of Wisconsin Hospital in Madison, Wis., will no longer allow Gideons International to unlawfully distribute bibles on public property, thanks to the Freedom From Religion Foundation.
FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt sent an advisory letter to UW Hospital President and CEO Donna Katen-Bahensky on March 22: "Permitting members of the Gideons or other bible distribution organizations the privilege of passing out their religious literature in the entrance of a state-run hospital constitutes blatant state endorsement of these Christian publications." A local complainant noted that security officers regulated the area in question, but claimed they were unable to take any action because it was in "a public space," even though it was by the main hospital entrance. Many of the security officers stated that "they were getting a lot of complaints" and admitted to being upset about the situation.
"A hospital entrance should be free from such distressing obstacles to ill patients and their worried relatives. Because of this undesirable result and the serious constitutional concerns that exits, the best policy would be to prohibit the distribution of any non-approved materials on the UW Hospital campus," noted Schmitt.
Katen-Bahensky sent a positive reply to Schmitt on April 9: "In re-eduating our Security Department on the non-solicitation policy earlier this year, we did discover that there had been some confusion with respect to the Gideons, but that confusion has been clarified. All solicitors, including members of the Gideons, will be asked to leave the area if they are soliciting there." FFRF had protested the practice on behalf of patients and staff, for many years.
FFRF hunts down sectarian Easter event in Tennessee city government (April 6, 2012)
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has persuaded the City of Mt. Juliet (Tenn.) to stop promoting "the Great Easter Bash."
"The Great Easter Bash" was a Christian event set to take place on April 7 in a public park. The City of Mt. Juliet Parks and Recreation Department was the designated host, with Friendship Community Church as a co-sponsor. As host, the city advertised the event on the department's webpage and on mass distributed postcards. FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt took issue with this blatant blending of government and religion. She wrote to Parks Director Jay Cameli on April 4: "While organizing and encouraging citizens to attend family-friendly recreation is a laudable goal, advertising and co-sponsoring an event with a church constitutes government endorsement of religion and alienates those Tennessee residents who are not Christian and who are non-religious."
Schmitt received confirmation on April 6 that the city wisely removed all information about the Easter event. The parks department "removed the city logo, as well as all references to the 'City of Mt. Juliet' on the printed materials that will be distributed at the event." Employees were instructed to treat the event as they would any other.
FFRF tells a Cleveland university that faith does not mean family (March 26, 2012)
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has pre-empted any future Cleveland State University-sponsored "Faith & Family Day" from taking place on school grounds.
FFRF Senior Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert wrote to CSU President Ronald Berkman on March 13 over the university's inappropriate endorsement of "Faith & Family Day." The event took place on Jan. 7, 2012, during a men's basketball game. The event was promoted using a logo consisting of numerous Christian crosses. "This promotion of religion, particularly Christianity, by a publicly funded university is inappropriate and unconstitutional," wrote Markert.
Markert pointed out that when a publicly-funded college "holds an event promoting a specific religious viewpoint, that statement sends a message that people adhering to certain religious beliefs are favored members of the community."
A representative of the university responded to Markert via a March 26 letter: "Immediately upon being notified of this, all posters, flyers and marquee messages within the Wolstein Center were removed... I am satisfied that appropriate steps have been taken to ensure that there will not be any future advertisements or promotional events sponsored by the university that will in any way suggest that the university endorses religion or any religious preference."
FFRF starves North Carolina restaurant of church discount (March 23, 2012)
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has put an end to an inappropriate and unnecessary church bulletin discount at the Fisherman's Quarters II in Asheville, N.C.
Fisherman's Quarters II habitually offered a 10% discount to church-going patrons. This particular promotion was at the top of the list on the restaurant's website along with its other discounts. FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt initially wrote to the restaurant owners on Oct. 17, 2011: "Fisherman's Quarters II's restrictive promotional practice favors religious customers and denies customers who do not attend church as well as nonbelievers the right to 'full and equal' enjoyment of Fisherman's Quarters II."
After receiving two additional follow-up letters, a representative of the restaurant verified that the unlawful practice would change. He maintained that the offer would be amended to apply to all patrons.
FFRF 'deletes' biblical emails at Georgia school (March 23, 2012)
The Freedom From Religion Foundation ended an inappropriate and unnecessary use of employee email at the Harris County School District in Hamilton, Ga. Prior to FFRF's involvement, the school district allowed "principals and other leadership staff to send emails to their subordinates which include bible passages." One particular email correspondence took place between an elementary school principal and the school district's director of transportation. Theses emails contained "relevant" bible passages intended to "guide" the recipient.
FFRF Staff Attorney Stephanie Schmitt wrote to Superintendent Craig Dowling on March 15: "No public school employee may urge religious points of view on students, parents, or employees. This includes bible verses and talking about 'following God.'"
Dowling responded to FFRF's complaint on March 23: "The Harris County School District will take such action as it deems appropriate regarding such communications to fulfill its responsibilities to avoid the advancement of religion and remain neutral in respect thereto," added Dowling.
FFRF muffles athletic prayer at Kentucky high school (March 20, 2012)
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has prevented a local minister from delivering another pregame prayer over the loudspeaker at Madisonville-North Hopkins High School in Madisonville, Ky.
A minister delivered an invocation over the public address system at the Region 2 Boys Basketball finals on March 6. A local complainant informed FFRF that the minister issued a Christian prayer, even after FFRF warned the school about illegal school prayer last fall. FFRF Co-Presidents Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor sent out a statewide memorandum to all Kentucky superintendents prior to the 2011 athletic season. Senior Staff Attorney Rebecca Markert followed up with Superintendent James Stevens in a March 12 letter: "As was made clear last fall, it is illegal for a public school to organize, sponsor, and lead prayers at public high school athletic events."
An attorney for the school district responded to Markert on March 20: "We have conducted an investigation into this matter and we are aware of the federal law which has been established on this issue. We appreciate your reiterating it to us and we have taken steps to ensure compliance with federal law on this issue. Superintendent James Lee Stevens will address this issue with all Principals and District level Administrators at the monthly administrators' meetings and will ensure compliance with federal law on this issue."

FY2011 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations - The Senate Appropriations Committee approved its version of the FY 2011 Labor- HHS –Education bill (S. 3686) on July 29. The House Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Subcommittee passed its version of the bill on July 15. The House and Senate appropriations for NIH match the FY 2011 President's Budget request of $32,007.2 million or 3.2 percent above this year (see NIA Budget Report).
On July 30, 2010, the President signed into law H.R. 5849, a bill to extend temporarily the SBIR/STTR programs through September 30, 2010, as P.L. 111-214. The previous extension, P.L. 111-162, expired July 31, 2010. H.R. 5849 was introduced on July 26 by House Committee on Small Business Chair Nydia Velazquez (D-NY), passed in the House by voice vote on July 27, agreed to in the Senate by Unanimous Consent on July 27, and presented to the President on July 28.
H.R. 6017, The Gulf Coast Health Monitoring and Research Program Act of 2010 – On July 30, 2010, Representative Lois Capps (D-CA) introduced H.R. 6017, the Gulf Coast Health Monitoring and Research Program Act of 2010. The bill would require the Secretary of HHS, in consultation with the Secretaries of Labor and Commerce and the Administrator of EPA, to establish a short-term and long-term comprehensive health screening, monitoring, and research program for oil spill workers and vulnerable residents, and on food safety affected by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Specifically, the program would be required to include research on the exposure of workers and vulnerable residents to oil, dispersants, and other chemicals and physical hazards during the clean-up effort, including: (1) information about the use of personal protective equipment, (2) biological sampling where appropriate, and (3) information on such exposure of workers and vulnerable residents who may be more susceptible due to their age, preexisting health status, pregnancy status, or other factors determined by the Secretary. H.R. 6017 was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
H.R. 3286/S. 1492, The Alzheimer's Breakthrough Act of 2009 – On July 22, 2009, Representative Markey (D-MA) and Senator Barbara Mikulski (D- MD) introduced the Alzheimer's Breakthrough Act of 2009 (H.R. 3286/S. 1492). H.R. 3286/S. 1492 would increase the authorization level for Alzheimer's disease (AD) research, and require the Director of the NIA to make supporting AD research a priority for the Institute. In addition, the legislation would require an expansion of clinical research on AD with a focus on (1) early diagnosis and detection, (2) the relationship of vascular disease and AD, and (3) expediting the translation of research findings into effective treatments and prevention strategies. The bill would require the Secretary, HHS, within 3 years of enactment of the legislation and every 3 years thereafter, to convene a summit on AD for the purpose of providing a detailed overview of current research activities at the NIH, as well as to discuss and solicit input to potential areas of collaboration between the NIH and other Federal agencies related to research, prevention, treatment and public outreach on AD. It is reported that S.1492 will be scheduled soon for Senate HELP Committee mark-up. No House committee action is anticipated.
S. 3036/H.R. 4689, The National Alzheimer's Project Act – The National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA) was introduced by Senators Evan Bayh (D-IN) and Susan Collins (R-ME) and Representative Ed Markey (D-MA). It proposes to establish in the Office of the Secretary of Health and Human Services an Office of the National Alzheimer's Project and calls for the development of a national AD plan. Both bills are pending committee action.
H.R. 5037/S.1373 – On April 15, 2009, Representative Mike Doyle (D-PA), along with cosponsors Representatives Henry Waxman (D-CA), Rick Boucher (D-VA), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), introduced H.R. 5037, the Federal Research Public Access Act of 2010. H.R. 5037 would require each Federal agency with extramural research expenditures of over $100 million to develop a specified Federal research public access policy that is consistent with and advances the purposes of the agency. The bill would make each Federal research public access policy applicable to: (1) researchers employed by the Federal agency whose works remain in the public domain; and (2) researchers funded by the agency. The bill specifically excludes from this policy the following: (1) research progress reports presented at professional meetings or conferences; (2) laboratory notes, preliminary data analyses, notes of the author, phone logs, or other information used to produce final manuscripts; (3) classified research, research resulting in works that generate revenue or royalties for authors (such as books) or patentable discoveries, to the extent necessary to protect a copyright or patent; or (4) authors who do not submit their work to a journal or works that are rejected by journals. H.R. 5037 would also require annual reports from each agency on its Federal research public access policy. The measure was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Investigations. An identical bill, S. 1373, was introduced on June 25, 2009, by Senators Joseph Lieberman (IND-CT) and John Cornyn (R-TX).
H.R. 2987, the Cure and Understanding through Research for Alzheimer's Disease (La Cura Act) of 2009 -Introduced in the House on June 19, 2009, by Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (D-CA). The measure proposes to amend the Public Health Service Act to ensure sufficient resources and increase efforts for research at the National Institutes of Health relating to Alzheimer's disease, to authorize an education and outreach program to promote public awareness and risk reduction with respect to Alzheimer's disease (with particular emphasis on education and outreach in Hispanic populations), and for other purposes. The measure is pending action by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
H.R. 3170, the FY 2010 Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Act- On July 16, 2009, the House passed H.R. 3170 by a vote of 219-208. This legislation contains many government-wide provisions applicable to NIH. Of note, this legislation continues the A-76 prohibition regarding competitive sourcing and contains a new provision that would require each department or agency to develop an inventory of service contracts. Regarding the annual cost-of-living allowance for Federal employees, H.R. 3170 does not contain a pay raise provision since the House agrees with the Administrations' request of two percent. This measure has passed the House and was referred to the Senate for action.
On May 20, 2009, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) introduced S. 1110, the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) Reform Act of 2009. Of interest to NIH are provisions that would authorize the Commission to advise the Secretary, through AHRQ and NIH, on priorities for health services research. In addition, it would authorize the Commission to have access to all raw data and research conducted or funded by the Federal government, including data and research produced by NIH, CMS, and AHRQ. Finally, NIH and AHRQ would be required, not less than twice a year, to submit a report to the Commission containing information on any research conducted which has relevance for the determinations and recommendations being considered by the Commission. S. 1110 is still pending action by the Senate Committee on Finance.

The idea behind the private cloud is to package the advanced automation techniques pioneered by public cloud service providers like Amazon or Salesforce so that you can "try this at home" with your own data center. With the launch of Windows Server 2012 last week -- and System Center 2012 earlier this year -- Microsoft is making big noises about moving in a private cloud direction.
Is that a credible claim? Absolutely. Windows Server 2012 is a huge upgrade; check out our coverage of the 10 best new features and reviewed the Release Candidate. To begin with, the server virtualization improvements raise Microsoft's game to VMware levels, from live storage migration to support for much larger Hyper-V clusters to the new virtual machine replication features -- all this in conjunction with new Virtual Machine Management functionality in System Center 2012.
[ Want to cash in on your IT experiences? InfoWorld is looking for stories of an amazing or amusing IT adventure, lesson learned, or tales from the trenches. Send your story to email@example.com. If we publish it, we'll keep you anonymous and send you a $50 American Express gift cheque. ]
But server virtualization is only square one for the private cloud. Measured against the whole list of private cloud requirements, Windows Server and System Center 2012 look strong.
Most surprising to me are the new Hyper-V network virtualization features, which enable you to overlay multiple software-defined networks on a single physical network ("VLANs on steroids" as InfoWorld's Oliver Rist calls it). Although at a very early phase, network virtualization is the key enabler of the software-defined data center, a tipping-point trend where all data center resources can be virtualized and recombined in new and interesting ways.
The network virtualization features center on the Hyper-V Extensible Switch included in Windows Server 2012. This virtual switch is based on the Network Device Interface Specification, and third parties are already creating plug-ins to add features. System Center 2012 SP1, due later this year, will upgrade Virtual Machine Manager to support the IP address mapping necessary for VMs to use Windows Server 2012's network virtualization. Interestingly, SP1 will also enable you to migrate VMs to the Windows Azure public cloud more easily.
Windows Server 2012 excels at other key private cloud capabilities, including self-service and identity management. It's easy to set up portals so that users can provision their own computing resources. With the new Active Directory Dynamic Access Control features, administrators get extremely fine-grained control over what users can do based on who they are.
About the only area where Microsoft is lacking is in metering and chargeback. When infrastructure is shared, you need a way to divide up and meter pooled compute, storage, and networking resources and automatically charge line-of-business accounts -- or at least show those charges to the appropriate stakeholders. Without that capability, IT people either get mired in spreadsheets estimating charges or settle for inaccurate or unfair cost allocations that will come back to haunt them.
Overall, though, Microsoft deserves high praise for its giant step into the private cloud. Of course, Microsoft's private cloud is (surprise!) pretty much an all-Microsoft affair; you can throw some Linux VMs on Hyper-V, but of course Microsoft only provides the tools to manage the VMs, not the OS they contain. Likewise, although the application management features of System Center 2012 earn kudos, they really begin and end with Microsoft apps.
How many customers will decide to roll out Microsoft private clouds on a large scale -- where the benefits are most apparent -- remains to be seen. But the massive technology effort behind Windows Server and System Center 2012 has without question earned Microsoft its private cloud stripes.

San Bernardino's human resources division manager has resigned, and her last day will be May 23, she said.
"I do not wish to disclose where I am going. I also do not wish to discuss my reasons for leaving at this time," Diana Leibrich said in an email. "I hope you understand."
Leibrich has managed the city's human resources division since March 2012, shortly before its bankruptcy.
In that time, she's managed the resignations of most of her fellow department heads, as well as former Interim City Manager Andrea Travis-Miller, and the hiring of replacements for some of them.


text: Jason Patric recently won a court ruling which will allow him to try and get visitation with the child he fathered with Danielle Schreiber. Jason Patric had been denied visitation because he fathered the baby through IVF and was not married to Danielle. It sounds like keeping him away from the baby might be the best thing. In court papers filed by Schreiber she claims that Patric once beat her on the face and head with a telephone and has called her a Jew c**t. Oh, and one of the times he called her c**tish in front of staff at the preschool of his son. Yeah, so not a nice guy at all. Patric's lawyer says this is all made up garbage, but, a lot of it sounds real. Schreiber managed to obtain a restraining order against Patric back in November.

We have The Chronicle of Higher Education [1], the trade journal of higher education. Also, see Inside Higher Ed [2], which is free on the Web.
For other news, one good source is The Economist [3]. (Although, to tell you the truth, I'm partly suggesting it because it has Dr. King on the cover, which makes a good thumbnail image today.)
We have access to the New York Times [4] and the Wall Street Journal [5] also. We get them through ProQuest, and they include today's articles if you go Advanced Search and choose today's date. ProQuest is not quite as nice as the nytimes.com [6] and wsj.com [7] interfaces. I often start with those, until they ask for money. Then, you can come to our ProQuest and find it in today's news. But watch out. The Wall Street Journal often has different article titles for otherwise identical wsj.com [7] and Proquest [5]versions.
That's not all (and of course there's lots that's free on the Web). See this list [8] or this guide to news sources [9]. Or ask us for help [10].

Mines program helps expose high school students to engineering
GOLDEN, Colo., Aug. 19, 2009 – Colorado School of Mines Minority Engineering Program (MEP) has helped design a free, six-week Engineering Exploration program aimed at helping high school freshmen develop an interest in engineering.
The Double-E (Engineering Exploration) program, which recently launched at Abraham Lincoln High School in Denver, aims not only to expose high school students to engineering but to help them further that interest in college.
Double-E is the result of a partnership between Mines MEP, Lockheed-Martin, Denver Boy Scouts, Denver Public Schools, Catholic Charities, College in Colorado, and Colorado MESA.
Mines MEP Director Khanh Vu said two Mines students will be chosen to mentor high school and elementary students.
"Part of MEP's mission is to be involved in a community program that serves low income and high minority populations," Vu said. "We hope to see students enroll at Mines as a result of Double-E."
Students in the Double-E extracurricular program will experience engineering in a variety of ways. Interested students will spend six weeks reading Jim Lovell's book, Apollo 13, taking field trips, receiving information on how best to prepare themselves for college, and teaching engineering principles to elementary school students.
A sample week of the program could include a discussion on batteries (using the events of Apollo 13 as a real-life example), touring the electronics lab at Mines, and learning and teaching elementary-aged students how to make a battery out of a potato.
The program, which is housed with the Denver Area Boy Scouts, will offer three sessions throughout the academic year, each with a different engineering focus — electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and aeronautical engineering.

From 2005 to the end of 2013—eight years—only two U.S. governors visited Mexico.
"Welcome to the New World," Ryan tells Ramius at the end of the movie.
We promised you we would end the war in Afghanistan and I guarantee you, we will end the war in Afghanistan.
I mean, I do end up writing, but in a twelve hour writing day, I have about four hours of actual writing.
There is a short fuse and a certain explosion at the end of this piece of treachery.
And here and on this wise let my fanciful tale about letters and teachers of letters come to an end.
Who saw its fires here rise, and there descend, Explain his own beginning, or his end?
His thoughts now leaped to the end as blindly as they had shrunk from it before.
"I wish we could stay and see the end of this," said one of the members.
When the end came it was like falling out of a balcony into the street.
Old English ende "end, conclusion, boundary, district, species, class," from Proto-Germanic *andja (cf.

Impacts on the U.S. Oil and Natural Gas Markets
As of Friday, October 7, 4:00 pm
Shut-in Status
As Hurricane Rita approached, 16 refineries along the Gulf Coast
shut down as a precautionary measure and to allow employees
to evacuate, and as today, 5 are completely shutdown. In sum,
there are 3 refineries still shut down in the New Orleans area
following Hurricane Katrina, 4 shut down in the Port Arthur
and Lake Charles areas, and 1 shut down in the Houston/Texas
City/Galveston refining area, amounting to a total of about
2.1 million barrels per day of refining capacity that is currently
offline. This accounts for about 900,000 barrels per day of
gasoline, about 500,000 barrels per day of distillate fuel,
and about 200,000 barrels per day of jet fuel that is not being
produced as long as these refineries remain shutdown. Please
consult the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability's
Report for specific information on the refineries.
Natural Gas
For the first time since Hurricane Rita made landfall, a spot
price quote at the Henry Hub was available today (October 7)
from the Intercontinental Exchange, an online trading platform.
The Henry Hub spot price was $13.68 per MMBtu, while prices
at other points in the Gulf region averaged $12.95. The overall
average price for the Lower 48 was $12.19 per MMBtu, 78 cents
lower than on October 6. Sabine Pipeline, operator of the Henry
Hub, has now lifted its force majeure for gas flows at 12 pipeline
interconnects at the hub, but still notes it will continue its
force majeure for all remaining points until further
notice. There are 14 pipelines with interconnections at the
Henry Hub. As a result of these changes at the Henry Hub, the
New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX), where futures contracts
are traded for delivery to the Henry Hub, has lifted the force
majeure condition for both September and October 2005 natural
gas futures contract delivery obligations, effective for gas
day October 5. NYMEX said that all participants who have outstanding
obligations for these delivery months should commence nomination
procedures in conformance with prescribed practices.
In an attempt to assess the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita on oil and gas production, the Louisiana
Office of Conservation is addressing the operating status
of producing wells in a thirty-eight (38) parish region for
information. On October 7, the Office said it has received reports
indicating 535.7 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of onshore
and offshore (in State waters only) natural gas production has
been restored, while 42.9 percent of the wells reportedly remain
shut-in. However, the Office has not received information on
approximately 38.5 percent of the oil and gas wells in the region.
The daily gas production capacity of the 38 parish region is
estimated to be approximately 2,235 MMcf/d, based on the average
production reported to the Office for the period January 2005
to May 2005.
There are 20 natural gas processing plants, with capacities
equal to or greater than 100 million cubic feet per day, in
Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi that are not active. A number
of non-operating plants with a total capacity of 4.76 billion
cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) are operational, but are not active
owing to upstream or downstream infrastructure or supplies being
unavailable. These plants had flowed 2.29 Bcf/d before the hurricanes.
A number of the inactive plants are expected to be operating
within 4 weeks. Based on updated data, these plants have capacity
of 2.87 Bcf/d and pre-hurricane flow of 1.62 Bcf/d. Based on
updated company information, pre-hurricane flow volumes indicate
that the average utilization of the non-operating plants was
roughly 56 percent. Based on updated data on estimated pre-hurricane
flow volumes, the non-operating processing plants represent
about 7.30 Bcf/d.

EVERETT — The first aircraft flight here, which took place 100 years ago, went largely unseen.
That's a far cry from the masses of onlookers for the first flight of Boeing's 787, assembled and flown at Paine Field. And the 1913 flight probably drew fewer people than Everett officials had planned.
Everett leaders had watched in dismay in 1911 when the city of Snohomish won the honor of having the first airplane flight in the county, noted Dave Dilgard, historian with the Everett Public Library. That flight, which ended in a crash landing, prompted Everett officials later to court the Christofferson brothers to bring a so-called hydroplane to town in the summer of 1913.
Silas Christofferson wowed the Pacific Northwest in 1912 by flying from the top of Portland's Multnomah Hotel, landing his Curtiss biplane across the river in Vancouver. It was his 19-year-old brother, Harry P. Christofferson, who showed up in Everett in late June 1913.
The Everett Daily Herald and the Everett Morning Tribune chronicled Christofferson's visit, calling him the "birdman" or the "sky man." Hundreds gathered as Christofferson assembled the aircraft on June 29 at Port Gardner. As rain fell, the pilot covered the float plane's engine and walked away. So did the crowd. Only 30 or 40 people remained when Christofferson took the seaplane for a flight over the bay.
The young pilot would have plenty of chances to draw onlookers over the next few days. Everett officials devised a simple warning to residents that Christofferson was about to fly: They sounded the fire alarm whistle for a full 60 seconds, giving would-be onlookers five minutes to clamber to spots where they could watch the flight.
Christofferson's aircraft was no Dreamliner, making enough noise to be its own warning whistle.
"The terrific roar of the motor filling all watchers with a sort of numbing terror," the Herald, an evening paper at the time, wrote of Christofferson's July 1 flights. Many onlookers "cringed as though fearful the gasoline demon overhead was bent upon their destruction," according to the Herald's account.
The plane could fly at a speed of 50 mph with an 80-horsepower engine, according to one newspaper account. The Curtiss-type hydroplane consisted of steel, wood and cloth. It carried enough fuel to fly 70 miles.
Christofferson admitted to the Herald that he preferred flying over water to making loops around the city. But on his July 2 flight, Christofferson flew over downtown Everett, venturing as far from the water as Colby Avenue.
"If anything goes wrong with the engine while over land we don't stand much chance," he said.
Taking off and landing along Everett's waterfront, which was lined with paper mills at the time, still wouldn't have been easy for the aviator, Dilgard pointed out.
Over five days, Christofferson took up several passengers. The queen of the Kla Ha Ya Days festival, then called Kla-How-Yah days, was the first female passenger in Everett and was treated to a 15-minute flight.
If air travelers today think getting stuck in the middle seat is rough, that's nothing compared to Christofferson's passengers. As he finished up in Everett, Christofferson described improvements he was hoping to make for the passenger's seat for his show in Seattle.
"I'm rigging up a better seat on the hydro for a companion, who now has to sit on this piece of board to the left of my seat," he said.
Christofferson's passenger was not only required to sit on a board but in front of that noisy engine, which likely made the seat shake, historian Dilgard said.
Christofferson and his brother, Silas, were planning to sell slightly larger float planes they'd built while flying in Seattle. They had already sold two, for $5,000 each. The brothers were considering starting an aircraft manufacturing company with the help of backers in California, Harry Christofferson told the Herald.
"We want to make aviation so common that exhibition work will disappear," he said.
The Everett demonstration was Harry's first, though he had been flying for a while. He had more experience building and maintaining aircraft. Silas was the "thriller" of the two brothers, Harry Christofferson told the Herald.
Silas Christofferson died in a plane crash three years later. Aside from his Multnomah Hotel flight, Silas Christofferson gained fame in 1914 by "bombing" buildings in Seattle with flour sacks as real bombs dropped in Europe as World War I erupted.
Harry Christofferson later started a flight school in California. He died at the age of 84.

Orientalism was the equivalent of an academic beach book during in the summer of 1979—a "cult bible," says Warner.
Brad Gooch on how the ghost of Edward Said's 'Orientalism' haunts the work.
The last section, "Orientalism," is exquisite and gilded, with golden-hued floral wallpaper.
Fountains tinkle beneath gently moving palms; the savour of Orientalism clings to the spot.
He struck his hands together, a bit of Orientalism he had brought back with him.
Yet he had undoubtedly lost much, and the measure of his loss was proven in his estimate of the Orientalism of Jeypore.
Then he was ushered into the cabin, that was replete with Orientalism as well.
A form of Orientalism which frequently occurs in Magyar folk-poetry.
The capitals are of somewhat composite order, with a leaning to Orientalism.
As aiding very greatly in the popular introduction of Orientalism, Apollonius of Tyana must be mentioned.

LynUI — I'm a mess of unfinished thoughts
yes XD I didn't specifically mean you though, I meant LED (the 'idea') inspired UIs. They look great when you're stood alone with no frames up but then when you get into a raid "stuff" starts to appear on screen and they look less organised, so i didn't want to give a false impression of what my UI looked like =)
This is with the 'clean icons' pack (Weakauras look a lot cleaner indeed) and it also shows with Bigwigs up, the other boss doesn't have timer bars for some reason. Still not sold on the red/blue but I'll leave them for now. Also shows what the combat log window should look like when i've fixed its Kgpanel, still need to fix the boss frames too when I find a way.

What stuff appears in a raid?
It's just a 5 men party, a 10 man raid would have 5 frames more, a 25 raid 20 frames more. But there isn't any extra "stuff" besides that. Led inspired ideas fucking up the core of what minimalism is really isn't my problem.
Just call em Carebear inspired UI's and we're good.
'Lord Sargeras, sweep your molten fist through this world, so that it may be reborn in flames and darkness!'
'So the light's vaunted justice has finally arrived.'
'Boldly said. But I remain...unconvinced.'
My Warrior
Boss frames if there are multiple targets to check energy (Onyxia for example) If you are a RL or just need to know you'd probably have raid CDs shown when they're on or off cooldown.
The main thing would be timer bars for whichever bossmod you were using though, quite rare to find a raider not using DBM or Bigwigs, even in the higher end guilds.
If you took 'offence' to me using the term 'LED inspired' then, i dunno, dont XD
What other people do with my UI is not of my concern. And I don't take offence for a game I don't even play, but my UI's are holy (paladin, PUN INTENDED). I just find it a bad generalization as you say Led (me) inspired UI's. Yet the problems you mention aren't even in my (Led) UI.
And now it's time to get pissdrunk. Buhbaajz.
This is my first time making or posting my ui. I used a number of different ui's through out Cataclysm such as Tukui, ElvUI, LUI, etc. I decided to create my own in MoP taking inspiration from the various ui's that I have used in the past and ones that I have seen in "Post Your UI" forums. As such, there is a lot of influence from QuseUI and Skaarj UI that can be seen here. I'm also striving to imitate ouf_NIN which I adore immensely but isn't working completely for MoP right now.
I play a number of roles and classes, so I am trying to make a one-for-all type of ui. This is why my raid frames are positioned in such a prominent area, and probably bigger than some dps/tanks would like to have them. This ui is still very much WIP.
Boss combat ("Ushifted" is the Guardian druid who is my focus... and yes, I got locked out...):

JBoss at JavaOne 2010
Despite the awkward venue and the under-new-management mis-steps - with six conference sessions, a couple of BoFs and an expert panel under our belts, JavaOne was a great event for JBoss with many of our illustrious Core Developers present in full force, including: Dan Allen, Jay Balunas, Emmanuel Bernard, Manik Surtani, Dr. Mark Little, Andrew Lee Rubinger. Congratulations guys.
We again used the developer-friendly "mini-theater" with 30-minute sessions that were mostly about the JBoss projects, presented by the Core Developers themselves since the Developer Community seems to continue to like and appreciate this format.
Videos from the JBoss booth at JavaOne
Check out the videos of conversations and demos presented at the JBoss booth for JavaOne
"Mark Little on Java" with Mark Little
"Getting Started with JBoss" with Noelle Jakusz
"Ashesh Badani on Paas" with Ashesh Badani
"Transactions: Overused or just misunderstood?" with Mark Little
"RichFaces in the Cloud" with Jay Balunas & Alexander Smirnov

"Data-as-a-Service using Infinispan" with Manik Surtani
"What's new in Hibernate: a JPA 2 perspective" with Emmanuel Bernard
During the 3-days the exhibit hall was open, we presented 16 ~30-minute of these mini-sessions in our 10x20 booth - 10 of these were unique. We videoed these and and will make available for replay on Vimeo along with the slide decks here in the coming days.
We also shot some interviews including one with JBoss CTO Dr. Mark Little on the state and future of Java, and Noelle on getting started w/JBoss. We'll be making those available here Real Soon Now.
The JBoss JavaOne party was held at "The Slide" at 430 Mason Street and it was also a success - over 200 people attended... all the right people, of course! Several people told us that that party was like the JBoss parties from the "old days." There can be no higher praise!
Net-net, we had a great show, lots of fun, and we believe JBoss had the biggest booth crowds on the exhibit hall floor. Thanks for coming by to see us!

Gaga, Wild Bunch adopt Kore-eda's Father
EXCLUSIVE: Japan's Gaga Corporation and Wild Bunch are jointly handling sales on Hirokazu Kore-eda's Like Father, Like Son, marking the second time they've collaborated on one of the director's films.
Wild Bunch is handling all rights outside Asia, while Gaga is selling Asian territories and will release the film in Japan. The two companies had a similar arrangement on Kore-eda's I Wish, a gentle story of two brothers trying to reunite their divorced parents.
Like Father, Like Son revolves around a family that is thrown into torment when informed by a hospital that they were given the wrong baby and their six-year-old son is not their child.
"It's the story of a successful man who thinks he has everything until he receives this phone call," said Gaga chairman Tom Yoda. "It's slightly more hard-hitting than [Kore-eda's] last film."
Fukuyama Masaharu plays the father and Ono Machiko, Lily Franky and Kiki Kilin also star. Produced by Fuji TV, Amuse and Gaga, the film will be released in Japan by Gaga on October 5.
Gaga is also handling international sales on animated feature Hanakappa, based on a popular TV series and financed by a production committe headed by Toho. Dentsu has Asian rights while Gaga is handling the rest of the world. Toho will release the film in Japan on April 12.

when booting from CD, press TAB at the boot option and see what the swap option is in syslinux.cfg.
set the same to be in your usb boot setting. (i.e. syslinux.cfg in your usb boot folder). That should do it.
I am trying to install BT4 onto a USB. I have done so by copying the Boot and BT4 folders from the ISO file to a fat32 partition then running the bootinst.sh in Ubuntu 9.04 and also tried running bootinst.bat in WinXP. Also I have tried using Unetbootin by copying the ISO image to a fat32 partition on my USB.
I was able to boot to BT4 successfully, however durning startup the "Activating swapfile" fails. This annoys me for 1. because the "Activating Swapfile" is OK when I boot from a CD but if I boot from the USB in either of the 3 ways I created the USB from above I can't get the "Activating swapfile" to be OK.
I tried partitioning my USB in different ways 1.1 fat32 partition then the rest is ext2. 2. fat32 partition, then with a linux extended partition which was made up of an ext2 and linux-swap. 3. Also tried creating a fat32, then a second parition ext2 then a seperate third as linux-swap. 4. Partitioned the whole drive as linux extended and put in a fat32 and an ext2 and a linux-swap inside.
I still can't get the damn "activating swapfile" to be successful. BT4 seems to work even though it fails but I don't like it. Plus i don't understand how a read-only DVD can have the swapfile successful but a writeable flash drive fails. I would like to understand how this is so but I couldn't find any info. As I don't like posting in forums.
Also I know that flash drives have limited read/writes but that's beside the point.
My last resort now is to boot from the CD then treat my flash drive as a HDD and set it up like it's a single boot install.
If anyone has any info on the swapfile please let me know. Again I want to mention the the Activating swap is succesfull in all cases but just the "activating swapfile" fails when booting from the usb.
when booting from CD, press TAB at the boot option and see what the swap option is in syslinux.cfg.
set the same to be in your usb boot setting. (i.e. syslinux.cfg in your usb boot folder). That should do it.
When I boot from the CD there isn't a swap option. Also the same syslinux.cfg is used when I boot from the CD or when I boot from usb.
The only difference I can tell when I boot from a CD rather than from usb is that the file system on the CD is ISO6687 (4 numbers after ISO that I can't remember). And when I boot from the usb it is using a fat32 filesystem. Could that bee the problem?
Is this an external usb drive or thumb drive? If it's the latter, don't put a swap partition on it.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Yes it is a thumb drive (flash memory). I will not put a swap partition on there. I was just wondering for my own knowledge why it is working this way.

Sea urchin surprise reported in news@nature, biologynews.net 9 November 2006 and Science, vol. 314, p398, 10 Nov 2006. Scientists have decoded the genome of the California purple sea urchin and have identified 23,300 genes made from 814 million DNA code letters. The scientists were surprised to find 7,077 of the sea urchin genes are also found in humans. Most surprising was that some of the "in common genes" are associated with hearing, balance, and sight in humans, but the sea urchin does not have eyes and ears. The vision genes were found to be activated in the animal's tube feet. Gary Wessel of Brown University, who participated in the project, commented: "Nobody would've predicted that sea urchins have such a robust gene set for visual perception. I've been looking at these organisms for 31 years - and now I know they were looking back at me." Some of the eye and ear genes were thought to be unique to vertebrates. The gene study also showed that sea urchins have a complex immune system.
Editorial Comment: Seven thousand out of 23,300 genes is approximately 30%, but no-one has yet claimed sea urchins are thirty percent human. Next time someone claims that humans are 98% chimpanzee remember this! Finding genetic information that is used in eyes of vertebrates but in tube feet in sea urchins simply shows that the information carried on genes can be used in different ways. It is not evidence that one kind of creature changed into another. Neither is this type of phenomenon a new discovery, but rather an ignored old one because it doesn't fit evolutionary theory. In the 1970's, prominent embryologist Gavin de Beer wrote a book entitled Homology: an Unsolved problem (1971 Oxford University Press). He pointed out that "homologous" structures are not always controlled by the same genes, and the same genes in different organisms can control different structures.
The following two quotes from de Beer's book are from an article entitled Homology and Heterochrony: The Evolutionary Embryologist Gavin Rylands de Beer (1899-1972) by Ingo Brigandt, Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh: "It is now clear that the pride with which it was assumed that the inheritance of homologous structures from a common ancestor explained homology was misplaced; for such inheritance cannot be ascribed to identity of genes." (de Beer, '71, p 16)
"But if it is true that through the genetic code, genes code for enzymes that synthesize proteins which are responsible for the differentiation of the various parts in their normal manner, what mechanism can it be that results in the production of homologous organs, the same 'patterns', in spite of their not being controlled by the same genes? I asked this question in 1938, and it has not been answered." ('71, p 16) (Ref. echinoderms, genetics, invertebrates)
