Arab Americans and Law Enforcement: Rights at Risk
"I have long argued that Arabs and Muslims were the weak link in America's civil liberty chain. When the rights of vulnerable minority groups are threatened, we must demand a halt to abuse. It is worrisome that in the post-9/11 era the challenge to constitutional rights has often been met with silence -- because it was Arabs and Muslims who were the targets. What we have failed to recognize is that if the rights to assemble, to speak freely, to be secure from unwarranted search, and to be guaranteed due process are put at risk for any group, then these rights may ultimately be threatened for all Americans."
We Palestinians have so much to learn
"Gaza should be a reminder to them all that nothing amounts to anything as long as the Israeli occupation is in place. We cannot let Israel sit back and mock us while we bicker away and build castles in the air with our own illusions of grandeur. Matar Abu Ata's mother, his father and that precious little boy who will no doubt grow up in his brother's shadow are not interested in who sits on the higher horse or how many times both sides try to knock the other one down. All Matar's mother is thinking and praying for now is that Mater Jr. will never ever meet the fate of his big brother."
Malala but not Afia
"Afia Siddiqui's defense lawyers argued that their client had shot at the US officials in a panic and said the crime lacked any connection to terrorism. During the hearing, it was heard by the trial jury that Afia Siddiqui, the day after her arrest grabbed an M-4 rifle in her interrogation room and started shooting 'death to America'."
Veterans' Day Mourning
"When I think about heroes, I always think about my friend, Elliott Adams. During the 60s, Adams volunteered for the Army. He fought in Vietnam. He was a paratrooper. He was wounded. After hospitalization, he was redeployed to Korea, and then Alaska. All of those things might make Adams seem like a hero to most people, but that is not why I think of him as a hero. Adams is a former president of Veterans for Peace, but that also is not why he is a hero to me. More than anyone I have known, Adams has dedicated his life since being discharged from the military to working for global peace. He has gone to Gaza with Physicians for Social Responsibility."
Muslim world destined for greater interference in Obama's second term
"The Arab revolts amply demonstrate that America uses the armies to control the outcome of the democratic elections and counter rebels. So the real agents of change are the armies of the Muslim world and nothing else. If Muslims truly want to bring about a permanent change in their political lives then they will have to get the armies loyal to America and other Western powers to switch sides."
Celebrating Iqbal's Birthday
"Not being a practical politician himself, it was the genius of the Allama who not only 'discovered' the most appropriate person for the job in the person of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the man to become the future Quaid-e-Azam of the nation. He gave Mr. Jinnah the realization that he had the competence of doing that Himalayan task and would come up to the expectation of the Muslims of the Subcontinent. It is incumbent upon each one of us who enjoys a free life in a free environment of a free country should be deeply obliged to that great man of our history."
Goodbye to a War
"The split was exacerbated by the Tea Party fanatics. It seems that every few generations the American nation is afflicted by a new wave of insanity – the anti-Anarchist hysteria after WWI, McCarthy after WWII, the Tea Party now. To its immense credit, America has a knack of overcoming these waves. But the Tea Party killed Romney, in spite of all his desperate flip-flopping."
Syria's Assad Warns of Apocalyptic War
"Even without envisaging any foreign intervention and the domino effect it will have on the region and on the world as President Bashar Assad predicts, Syria is being eroded from within and without by different forces which have mobilized despite the rift in their ideologies but each with a unique agenda. The tug of war in Syria has long started and there is an immediate danger of engaging the entire region in this bloody broil."

Keras Resources (LON:KRS) has struck a third gold tribute agreement in Western Australia to bring its potential resource inventory to over 500,000 ounces and advance its aim of becoming a cash flow positive miner.
Investors welcomed the news and shares were lifted 11.76% in early deals to 0.95p.
It has inked a binding profit share agreement with KalNorth Gold Mines Limited (KalNorth) for the Lindsay's project, which includes open pit and underground resources of 215,100 ounces at 1.7g/t of the yellow metal - 77% of which falls into the higher confidence indicated resource category.
Dave Reeves, the managing director, told investors: "We will now start work on revising the proposal to mine with a view towards commencing open pit production from this area in Q3 2016 to add to planned production from Grants Patch and Wycheproof.
"I look forward to working closely with KalNorth on this operation in what is mutually beneficial agreement for both companies."
The Lindsay's project lies 65km north north east of Kalgoorlie and about 60km north east of the Grants Patch Gold Tribute Project, where the company is on track to begin initial mining in the very near term.
There is also significant exploration potential down dip from Parrot Feathers (a potential underground operation), where mineralisation extends up to 200m below the resource base, Keras noted.

Those of you who object to the U.S. sharing advanced nuclear reactor designs with China might snigger at this news. Those of you who support the collaboration will find it dismaying: Last month's U.S government shutdown forced the Department of Energy to cancel a rare high level meeting with China regarding the two nations' ongoing partnership in molten salt reactor development.
But while the collaboration's bosses failed to meet for the key appointment, the roster of U.S. contributors has been expanding to include additional universities and industrial members, such as Bill Gates' nuclear company TerraPower.
According to people familiar with the situation, DOE Assistant Secretary Peter Lyons was due to travel to Tennessee's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in October to meet with the project's Chinese co-leader, presumably Jiang Mianheng. Lyons and Jiang were the two co-chairs of the collaboration when it began in Dec. 2011.
With the itineraries set and with sensitive travel visas in place for Jiang and his Chinese delegation, something happened on the way to Tennessee: The U.S. government closed its doors for two weeks when Congress failed to agree on general budgetary appropriations.
The shutdown took out all manner of government operations including national energy labs such as Oak Ridge (ORNL), where in the 1960s the U.S. built a molten salt reactor, the designs for which are part of the DOE/China advanced reactor partnership.
I've sent several emails to Lyons and to a DOE spokesperson asking whether Lyons and Jiang have rescheduled, but they have not replied. Around the time that DOE and the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) entered the agreement in December, 2011, Jiang was the president of CAS' Shanghai branch. He is the son of China's former president, Jiang Zemin.
The two countries are sharing information related to a molten salt cooled, solid-fuel reactor that would safely operate at high temperatures and thus serve as a more efficient electricity generator than today's "cooler" conventional reactors, and that would also serve as a valuable source of clean industrial heat, replacing fossil fuels. The reactors also portend safety, waste, and proliferation advantages over traditional nuclear.
China plans to build a prototype of a 2-megawatt "pebble bed" reactor by around 2015, and a 100-megawatt demonstrator by 2024.
It is also planning to build a reactor that is both cooled and fueled by liquid salts – a "molten salt reactor" (MSR). It plans a 10-MW prototype by 2024. DOE has said that the collaboration only entails salt-cooled technologies, and is not specifically exploring MSRs, which many experts regard as a logical and superior next step after the development of a salt-cooled reactor.
Jiang has expressed intentions of using high temperature reactors not just to feed the grid with electricity – cleanly powering future fleets of electric cars – but also to provide heat for processes like hydrogen production (he wants to then turn the hydrogen into methanol) for coal gasification, and to turn coal into products including olefin and diesel.
Earlier this month, U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz told a nuclear conference in Irvine, Calif. that the U.S. could have similar uses for high temperature reactors.
"Small modular reactors, especially high temperature ones, may have a particular role there essentially as heat sources," Moniz told delegates at the Future of Advanced Nuclear Technologies gathering organized by the National Academy of Sciences and the Keck Futures Initiative. He outlined a number of possible applications, including "process heat, water desalination, hydrogen production, petroleum production and refining."
Moniz told the conference that he recently traveled to China to help promote the Westinghouse AP1000, a conventional reactor with improved safety features, designed by Westinghouse, the U.S. subsidiary of Japan's Toshiba. There are currently four AP1000s under construction in China, with more planned. Westinghouse and China are co-marketing AP1000 reactor technology beyond China.
At the Irvine gathering, Moniz did not mention the DOE/China high temperature reactor collaboration.
He also did not provide any details on how the U.S. might beef up its commitment to advanced reactor development; when I asked him, he would say only that he hopes to "marshall" resources. By comparison, China's commitment is much more significant and multifaceted. It is backing the molten salt project at CAS – just one of China's several advanced reactor projects – with about $400 million, and hopes to produce a prototype as soon as 2015.
DOE has provided $7.5 million in funding to three universities – MIT, the University of California Berkeley, and the University of Wisconsin – for advanced reactor development, with a focus on molten salt cooled, solid fueled designs. Those three universities plus ORNL were seminal members of the DOE/China collaboration, and Westinghouse has been advising them on how to eventually commercialize their technology.
Researchers from those entities and from China have met for four separate collaborative workshops over the last two years, my sources tell me. Those gatherings have not included chairmen Lyons and Jiang. A fifth workshop is planned for January, at UC Berkeley.
Meanwhile, the core group of workshop participants has grown to include TerraPower, the Seattle company chaired by Gates which has been widening its nuclear net. TerraPower continues with its original mission to develop a fast reactor that it calls a traveling wave reactor, but has encountered a few technical snags and is now investigating other possibilities as well including molten salt reactors and thorium fuel.
Other new participants have included San Diego-based General Atomics which is developing a high temperature solid fuel, helium-cooled reactor that it calls the Energy Multiplier Module (EM2). From academia, the Georgia Institute of Technology, the University of Michigan, Ohio State University and the University of New Mexico have also joined the workshops.
General Atomics has submitted its EM2 as a candidate for the second tranche of DOE's $452 million award for small modular reactors — reactors that are smaller than today's gigawatt-plus behemoths and portend significant costs savings. Most advanced high temperature reactors are suitable for small modular form, with sizes ranging from around 30 MW to around 500. GA is competing against other high temperature reactor makers for the award, including X-Energy. Conventional temperature machines are also in the hunt, including one from Westhinghouse and another from Corvallis, Ore.-based NuScale.
A year ago DOE awarded the first tranche, of around $225 million, to Babcock & Wilcox for its mPower reactor, a scaled down version of an ordinary temperature conventional reactor. B&W announced earlier this month that it needs to sell a 70 percent stake in the joint venture company developing mPower in order to continue.

I am a proud peacock parading all the way through life with confidence, flair, and godliness. I am a highly motivated individual who has a track record of success—and aggressively pursuing my purpose. I believe in working hard along with sound wisdom and proven principles to obtain what the majority deems a good life. Having a definite aim in addition to playing hard and having fun is a prerequisite for building a successful and fulfilling life.
Being from New Orleans make it easy to be unique—taking into consideration that New Orleans has its own culture—which is the only one of its kind: (Food, Music, Dances, Style, and Celebrations like you guess it "Mardi Gras and the New Orleans Indians and brass bands.") New Orleans is the greatest fun factor anyone can ever have. I have learned how to have fun from the best: live music, stage plays, family functions, worship gatherings, and New Orleans second-lines along with some of the most soul stirring performances that have ever been demonstrated!
Furthermore, because of its southern hospitality being a gentleman comes quite naturally to me. This includes having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, strong family values, lending a helping hand to those who are less fortunate, giving support to the poor and counseling the needy.
Most people I know would say that I am charming, loving, witty, funny, open-minded, and honest. But my closest friends would articulate that I am also a man of great wisdom, integrity, and loyalty with a passion for helping others—and, that I love the Lord and believe in His word, His truth, and His way. Outside of my core values, I have a great sense of humor accompanied by social graces and style of course.
Finding someone who complements me as well as share the same vision, virtue, and values is truly a blessing. I believe in coming together for a divine purpose is the most fulfilling and rewarding life any couple can and will ever experience. It is about chasing destiny—overcoming challenges, celebrating small victories, managing tough times, achieving greatness, creating and building and a family legacy through the power of God's word, education, and accomplishments.
I love New Orleans music and jazz, R & B, soul and much more.

Your wallet stores your valuable cash and credit cards, so shouldn't it look luxe? We love that these sleek cases are durable, not bulky. Do they get your vote?

The picture is disappointing, as the description mentions a money clip that isn't shown. Also, the biggest problem with wallets for me and my husband is always that they won't expand to fit all the stuff we carry. I would like to see a picture with money, change, and cards all filling the wallet, to see the functionality. Moreover, $75 for a wallet is way out of my league.

#28 May I Kiss You?
This poem was written to express my desire to kiss my love. Yes, he is the love of my life - And yes the sex is hot - But it all has to start somewhere, doesn't it?
This poem originally was published in Love Poems - Erotic Poems
May I Kiss You?
I ask if I may kiss you.
You just smile; no answer is necessary.
My initial kiss is just a flirting of our lips.
My tongue lightly flicking -
Like I am asking, "Do you want me?"
The tip of my tongue runs all around your lips.
Touching every part,
Inside and out -
Over and over again.
Tickling you, tickle, tickle, goes my tongue.
Now I press my lips gently to yours.
Rubbing your lips back and forth against mine.
My kisses are hot and fast.
I cannot rest long in any one place.
I have such a need to go on.
I trail kisses of passion all over your face.
Then back to your mouth.
Our tongues dance together.
We are exploring.
I circle your tongue with the tip of mine.
You echo the pattern back to me.
I lick the sides, underside and the top.
You echo back.
I suck your lower lip.
You echo back.
We repeat, repeat, repeat.
The sensations are driving our emotions.
We are wild for each other.
You thrust your tongue in and out.
The movements are rhythmic and stabbing.
Simulating our love making during mating.
I ask again, do you want me?
I can tell that you do.
No words are necessary.

Dermatology Questions? Ask an Online Dermatologist.
it could be a benign growth like dermatofibroma
if you have a photo, you could send it to me
I'm afraid that there's no photo. Just picture a mosquito bite.
ok, lots of things resemble a mosquito bite
What do you suggest?
as i said a dermatofibroma
prurigo nodularis
u can have a look at the pics on the internet
will do.
let me know if it resembles either of it
the treatment for prurigo nodularis will be to apply clobetasol propionate cream once daily for 2 weeks
dermatofibroma needs to be surgically excised
I looked at pictures on the internet. The pictures may be of extreme cases, but the dermatofibroma examples all are red colored bumps and the bump that I have is the same color as the rest of my skin.
Doesn't prurigo nodularis itch? Mine doesn't itch.
yes they itch
dermatofibroma can be skin coloured as wel
keloids also are long standing bumps
ok. Thanks.

Chris Tucker set to host BET Awards
Comedian Chris Tucker is on tap to host the 2013 BET Awards. Welcome back, sir!
Black Entertainment Television revealed Tuesday that Tucker, who is having a career resurgence after his role in last year's Silver Linings Playbook after many years of being out of sight, will host the June 30 telecast.
This is the first time the 41-year-old funnyman has hosted the show, which was hosted by Samuel L. Jackson last year. Rememeber the Spike Lee performance a la Kanye and Hov?!
"I am honored to be asked to host this year's BET Awards. I'm looking forward to be being part of a really great show," Tucker said in a statement.
Stephen Hill, BET's president of music programming and specials, said the network is excited to have Tucker on board.
"We cannot wait for Chris to set fire to the BET Awards stage with his unique brand of mayhem," said Hill.
The BET Awards will take place at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre on June 30. As an extension of the awards show, the BET Awards will introduce its new festival "BET Experience at L.A. LIVE!" leading up to the Sunday show. So all eyes will be on him in this inaugural weekend for BET.

Sage is in the hotel Aria. Executive chef Shawn McClain serves contemporary American cuisine with an emphasis on seasonal ingredients.
Walking into the dining room I was immediately impressed: polished black tables, gold columns, purple accents and lighting, mirrored walls.
After a brief look at the menu, I both decided on the 8-course grand tasting menu along with wine pairings.
The service was very good. Our waiter was delightful and always happy to answer all our questions and bring us anything we needed. My only complaint about the service was that the first few courses seemed a little rushed. I had just finished one course and barely put a dent in my wine pairing and the next course was already being brought out. Luckily this was not the case for the later courses.
Vancouver Island Kusshi Oysters with piquillo pepper and tequila mignonette
I'm generally not a fan of oysters but I really enjoyed this. The small size of the kusshi certainly helped but what really sold me was the pepper and mignonette sauce. It gave the oyster a really nice, refreshing bite and let me focus on the taste rather than the texture.
Seared Black & Blue Tuna with baby artichoke, anchovy and quail's egg
Every component of this dish complemented the perfectly seared tuna so well. The fresh acidity of the tomato, the saltiness of the anchovy and the richness of the quail's egg gave the dish amazing texture and flavour.
Foie Gras Custard Brûlée with bing cherries, toasted cocoa nibs and salted brioche
This is the reason I chose Sage for my birthday dinner. I love crème brûlée and I love foie gras – when I read about this dish at Gastronomnom I just had to try it. It did not disappoint. The foie gras was so smooth and rich. The cherries provided a nice tart distraction in every other bite and the brioche was both sweet and salty and practically melted in my mouth. The combination of the three was sheer perfection. It was the best thing I've ever eaten and I wish I could have it every day. Whenever I'm in Vegas in the future the foie gras custard will keep me coming back to Sage.
Lobster Ravioli with lemon-olive oil puree, baby green beans and sweet corn
I usually find lobster a little chewy, but this was a very nice, delicate preparation. The sauce was not overpowering and the sweet corn added some much appreciated extra texture.
Alaskan Halibut with pancetta and mushroom risotto
This wasn't my favourite dish. The halibut was a little bland and even the pancetta did not give it the extra oomph it needed. The mushroom risotto on the other hand was wonderfully creamy and flavourful, but I preferred it on its own rather than with the fish.
Grilled Steak with chanterelle mushroom
This was a great piece of steak, cooked to tender perfection.
After the steak came the intermezzo sorbet. I can't for the life of me remember what kind it was, and I forgot to take a picture. It tasted very green and fresh and it was enjoyable.
After an amazing meal, dessert was unfortunately a disappointment. The panna cotta on its own was a little bland (though admittedly panna cotta is not one of my favourites). The iced cream was terrible. It tasted like Captain Crunch Maybe if you ate this as a child it would bring back some retro memories and make you look more fondly at the dish. However, the taste of sugary children's breakfast cereal is not what I look for in a dessert. This was the only dish I didn't finish.
Spiced chocolate soup
I was very appreciative of this rich, sweet chocolate drink to erase the memory of the panna cotta and end the meal on a high note.
I really enjoyed my meal at Sage. With the exception of the dessert every dish was exquisite and made me feel good about picking Sage for my birthday dinner. The only thing I would do differently next time is forgo the wine pairings. The wines were excellent, but I really only enjoy reds or champagne. I lack appreciation for white or desert wines so a number of the glasses were wasted on me. I also have a fairly limited appetite and the combination of 8 courses and 7 glasses of wine was a little too much. Next time I'd go for just a glass of champagne and a nice red and focus more on the food.
I recommend Sage to anyone looking for a great and reasonably-priced gourmet meal in Las Vegas. The foie gras custard brûlée is something everyone should experience. Bon appetite!

I'm still unsure what the right solution is in general. -- sam th samth at ccs.neu.edu

Response to
Yeah man, you got it.....but heres the good.....
I don't know if I can keep shooting the gun like this. It's been about 500 pellets through it. It might make a tight group of 3 pellets and the next three are on the right or left and high. I often get a smile shaped grouping when they are somewhat tight. I might deisel here and there for 3 shots or so. But I have always had a hard time with these snappy guns.
And it's a joke they say it's 70 percent less noise. Its louder than every single springer i have; all steel spring coils. I have to end my shooting session with my RWS 94 just to be able to know that I can still shoot at all.
Other guns break in sooner if I recall correctly. And some guns like my 34 shoot dead on out the box. Some titans do in read anyway. I feel like i got a bad one. But i have done every trouble shooting thing I know. And it's still not grouping.
I got BKL's and a 3200 elite on it. I'm giving it a really fair shot at grouping. But ok. I'll try to get to 2000 pellets. If it doesn't group. I don't know. Maybe it wasn't meant for me. I have to locate more super H points before i give up though. Thanks for the encouragement.

Who has the time to keep up with weight-loss research? It's so technical and confusing and often contradictory. Yet if you don't know what's going on in the world of caloric counting, the pounds may not drop off as fast as you think they should.
In one European diet and exercise study, for example, participants who were given detailed explanations of the research were more likely to exercise or eat better, or both, than a less clued-in group.
Good Housekeeping has dug into the latest research. And as it did, it found that a surprising number of dieting tactics accepted as gospel have recently been shown to be dead wrong. Knowing which still hold up and which are big fat lies can mean the difference between winning and losing at weight loss.
Here, Good Housekeeping endeavors to set the record straight on two common weight-loss strategies, sending you on the path to a new and slimmer you.
Strategy 1 • To lose a pound, you must cut 3,500 calories.
False: This much-quoted equation doesn't account for the slowdown that happens to your metabolism as you drop pounds, according to researchers at the National Institutes of Health.
"As a result, it drastically overestimates how quickly people lose weight," said senior investigator Kevin D. Hall. That's why his team has created a computerized model that accurately predicts just how long you'll have to say no to french fries. It takes into consideration not only the drop in calorie burn as you get slimmer, but also your current weight, your age, how much you're eating now and other variables.
Let's say you're a 46-year-old woman who weighs 170 pounds. According to the traditional formula, if you cut 500 calories a day, you would drop a pound a week 500 multiplied by seven days equals 3,500, or one pound and lose 26 pounds in six months. But the new math shows that the weight loss is more likely to be 19.5 pounds.
Strategy 2 • Three square meals a day works as well as a plan that includes several mini-meals.
True: Dieters who stick to breakfast, lunch and dinner often are no hungrier than those who opt to have frequent small meals and snacks throughout the day, a new University of Missouri study found. Actually, if you're a dieter who doesn't want to have to be extra careful about portion control, eating three squares might be a better strategy.
"Often people misinterpret the size of a 'mini meal' and end up taking in far more calories than they realize," said lead author Heather J. Leidy. "Also, more meals means more exposure to food, which creates more opportunities for overeating."
How to make the strategies work:
Calorie counting • The weight-loss gods may be cruel, but knowing what to expect can keep you from getting discouraged and from backsliding when the scale seems stuck. Try the new Body Weight Simulator, go to bwsimulator.niddk.nih.gov.
Three square meals or mini-meals • Whether you want to be a traditionalist or a conscientious "mini meal" strategist, the most important thing is not to go too low. Dieters who dine only once or twice a day tend to get ravenous and we all know where that leads.

Pew! Pew! Pew! went the Mars Curiosity Rover. At least in my head, it did. That's right, folks, the laser is a-firing on the Red Planet.
Here's the weekly video update from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, giving us details on what the rover has been up to (remember, it's got work to do - it's not just there to admire the scenic landscape).
I find it amusing that the laser can shoot something 600 times at the same location and only drill about 1mm thick. NASA's gonna need a bigger laser if we're ever going to find gold up there.

Comments on celibacy and democracy in the church by Italian Archbishop Pietro Parolin, whom Pope Francis named as the Vatican's new Secretary of State on Aug. 31, are raising eyebrows today, with some wondering if they herald looming changes in Catholic teaching and practice.
In truth, Parolin's comments represent what might be termed the standard moderate Catholic line – priestly celibacy is a discipline, not a dogma, and can therefore be revised, but it nonetheless has value, and the church is not a democracy but it can and should be more collegial.
Those points have been made many times by many different voices, and they don't necessarily point to any specific policy decisions. If anything, Parolin seems to want to temper expectations that Francis will turn the church on its ear, stressing the theme of continuity.
In other words, what the interview confirms is not so much a spirit of revolution on Francis's watch, but rather the generally pragmatic and moderate stamp of his papacy.
The following is a provision translation of Parolin's comments, which came in an interview with the Venezuelan newspaper El Universal.
* * *
Parolin: The church has a role of continuity in history, based on what Jesus Christ founded. It needs to be loyal to itself. The church can never change to the point of completely adapting to the world. If it did so, it would get lost in [the world] and would not accomplish its mission of being salt and light.
Question: Do you mean that the approach to reform implies a return to early Christianity?
Yes, taking into account that we also have two thousand years of history. This history has not happened in vain. It is not simply about returning to the past, at least in the most radical way, but a return to the fundamental principles of the church. I want to underline the theme of continuity because sometimes it seems, and I don't know if I'm exaggerating here, that Pope Francis is going to revolutionize everything, he is going to change everything.
Isn't that what is expected of him?
We expect him to help the church to be the church of Jesus and to fulfill its mission. That's what all popes must do. But the church has a constitution, a structure, a content that are those of the faith, and no one can change those.
Aren't there two types of dogmas? Aren't there unmovable dogmas that were instituted by Jesus and then there are those that came afterwards, during the course of the church's history, created by men and therefore susceptible to change?
Certainly. There are dogmas that are defined and untouchable.
Celibacy is not --
It is not a church dogma and it can be discussed because it is a church tradition.
That goes back to what period?
To the early centuries. After its implementation, it was applied during the first millennium and after the Council of Trent, the church enforced it. It is a tradition, and the concept lives on within the church because during the course of all these years things have happened that have contributed to develop God's revelation. This was completed with the death of the last apostle, Saint John. What happened afterwards was an increase in the comprehension and the living out of the revelation.
Speaking of celibacy --
The work the church did to institute ecclesiastical celibacy must be considered. We cannot simply say that it is part of the past. It is a great challenge for the pope, because he is the one with the ministry of unity and all of those decisions must be made thinking of the unity of the church and not to divide it. Therefore we can talk, reflect, and deepen on these subjects that are not definite, and we can think of some modifications, but always with consideration of unity, and all according to the will of God. It is not about what I would like but what God wants for His church.
What does he want?
God speaks in many ways. We must be careful to this voice that guides us on the causes and solutions. We have to take into account, at the moment of taking a decision, these criteria as well as to the opening to the spirit of the times.
When the pope asks himself, "Who am I to judge gays?", what is he saying?
He is saying that the church's doctrine is very clear on this moral point.
Jesus Christ accepts us all as we are?
Yes, but he also asks us to grow and adapt to the image that he has inside us. Our individual conduct is judged only by God, and the pope has said this.
You have said that changes must be made without dividing the church. Don't you think that a way to decide on its application would be by consulting the whole church, its bishops? Wouldn't it be a democratization?
Certainly. It has always been said that the church is not a democracy. But it would be good during these times that there could be a more democratic spirit, in the sense of listening carefully, and I believe the pope has made of this one of his pontificate's objectives. A collegial movement of the church, where all the issues can be brought up, and afterward he can make a decision.

Washington (AFP) Nov 07, 2013
The White House urged Congress on Thursday not to tie its hands in nuclear talks with Iran, as hawks sought stronger sanctions and to limit its power to offer inducements to Tehran.
As negotiators from Iran and major world powers, including the United States, edged close to an interim nuclear deal in Geneva, skepticism remains rife in Congress.
A group of bipartisan senators is calling for tougher sanctions against Tehran, even as talks take place in Geneva.
And Republican Senator Bob Corker raised the prospect of legislation to limit Obama's power to waive some existing sanctions, as part of an interim deal designed to test Iran's willingness to comply with restrictions on its nuclear program.
"It is important for Congress to reserve its ability to legislate for the moment when it's most effective in order to give the current P5 plus one negotiations the best chance to make real progress," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.
"Our view has been that we need to allow for a pause here so that we can explore the potential represented by these serious and substantive negotiations," Carney said, when asked about the threat of tougher sanctions than those already hurting Iran's economy.
Both Obama and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani find themselves challenged by hardliners in their respective capitals as they pursue a deal to end a long nuclear showdown short of US military action.
Congressional sources say there remains little support for any easing of sanctions at this point, but substantial backing for toughening the regime among lawmakers who think it will make Iran more compliant to Western demands.
But the White House fears Iran will interpret a new layer of sanctions as a sign it is not serious in the talks. Officials also fear tough action by lawmakers will bolster conservatives in Tehran and undercut Rouhani's diplomatic initiative.
Carney stressed that Obama had no intention at this point of softening the "core architecture" of sanctions with Tehran.
But he said Washington was contemplating "limited, targeted and reversible relief" in return for Iran taking steps to halt advances in its nuclear program which the West believes is geared towards producing weapons.
Carney and other US officials declined to offer details of the proposed deal.
Reports from Geneva suggest those steps will include limits on Iran's enrichment capacity, verification steps and restrictions on its stockpiles of nuclear material and its nuclear facilities.
The interim agreement would be designed to build confidence on both sides with a view to concluding a final deal.
Carney said the president envisaged only limited relief for Iran from economic sanctions, so pressure could be reapplied if necessary.
"If Iran does not live up to its commitments, the temporary modest relief would be terminated, and we would be in a position to ratchet up the pressure even further by adding new sanctions."
But key figures, from both parties on Capitol Hill, want to ratchet up pressure on Iran regardless.
Bob Corker, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is contemplating a measure that could limit Obama's flexibility in a limited effort to ease sanctions.
"We've crafted an amendment to freeze the administration in and make it so they are unable to reduce the sanctions unless certain things occur," Corker told the Daily Beast website.
"They have the ability now to waive sanctions. But we're very concerned that in their desire to make any deal that they may in fact do something that is very bad for our country."
One option for Corker would be to attach a measure to a bill setting the budget for the Pentagon, which would make it tough for Obama to veto without throwing financing for the entire US military into chaos.
Carney would not say whether Obama would veto such a measure if it reached his desk. But he hinted at something White House officials say privately -- that thwarting the negotiating process could put Washington and Tehran on a dangerous path.
"The willingness to pause while we explore this possibility is really a demonstration of support for the possibility of a peaceful negotiated resolution to this issue rather than a march to war," he said.
International sanctions against Iran
The United Nations, the United States and the European Union have all adopted increasingly tough measures over the past seven years.
On October 3, US President Barack Obama's administration urged lawmakers not to impose more sanctions on Iran as it seeks to respond to overtures from its new President Hassan Rouhani.
Since 2006, the UN Security Council has approved four series of sanctions:
- Resolution 1737 (December 23, 2006) imposes economic and commercial sanctions against 10 entities linked to Tehran's nuclear and ballistic programmes. The assets of these entities and of 12 prominent figures are frozen.
- Resolution 1747 (March 24, 2007) freezes the assets of 13 new entities linked to the nuclear programme or the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. There is also an embargo on Iranian arms purchases and restrictions on loans to Iran.
- Resolution 1803 (March 3, 2008) hits more entities and individuals with a foreign assets freeze and travel ban. It also bans the supply of dual use items (civil and military) to Iran.
- Resolution 1929 (June 9, 2010) places new restrictions on Iranian investments and bans the sale to Iran of certain heavy arms (tanks, combat planes and helicopters). More names added to sanctions list.
Washington first imposed sanctions in the 1980s, banning businesses and individual Americans from trading with Iran except with Treasury Department approval.
- In 2008, the United States introduces further financial restrictions by banning American banks from acting as an intermediary for the transit of funds to and from Iran
- In July 2010, a law targets the supply of petrol to Iran, which is highly dependent on refined products, and punishes foreign groups investing in the Iranian oil sector.
- In November 2011, Washington beefs up its sanctions against individuals supporting the development of Iran's oil sector. In December 2011, the assets of foreign financial institutions that trade with the Iranian Central Bank in the petrol sector are frozen.
- July 31, 2012: Obama imposes new economic sanctions on Iran's oil export sector and on a pair of Chinese and Iraqi banks accused of doing business with Tehran.
- June 3, 2013: Washington announces new sanctions focused on the rial currency for the first time and also the auto sector.
- July 31, 2013: Three days before the investiture of new president Rouhani, the US House of Representatives approves new sanctions which would slap strict limits on Iran's oil industry, the automobile and mining sectors. The legislation has yet to pass the Senate.
- July 26, 2010, the EU goes further than the UN, banning technical assistance or the transfer of oil technologies to Iran and the activity of some Iranian banks and adds names to the United Nations list of individuals banned from travelling. The measures focus on the Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
- In May and December 2011, the assets of 243 Iranian entities and around 40 more individuals are frozen and visa bans imposed.
- January 23, 2012. The EU agrees on a ban on Iran oil imports, effective July 1, and freezes the assets of the Iranian Central Bank.
- October 15, 2012: A new package of sanctions targets EU dealings with Iran's banks, shipping and gas imports. A government minister is on the list.
- December 21, 2012: The EU adds 18 companies or institutions and one person to a blacklist of those targeted by an asset freeze and travel ban.

App Directory SDK
Frequently Asked Questions
SSO Flow
As a requirement, we expect developers to use Single Sign On authentication on the Hootsuite side of the app, but OAuth for the external service provider.
Here is the workflow the app should follow when using SSO on the Hootsuite side:
- You can set the app to use SSO in the dev admin tool, then provide a shared secret
- This will cause Hootsuite to pass the user Hootsuite User ID through with a token check for every interaction with Hootsuite
- This will keep a record of the Hootsuite user
- The App will then take that ID and will have a layer that maps the Hootsuite ID to the App User ID
- If there is no record, the App should prompt for authentication (OAuth within your app)
Retain User Settings
After the stream authenticates with Hootsuite, the following parameters are passed back to the stream iframe:
- lang=en
- timezone=7200
- pid=2823 // placement ID, unique for each stream per user
- uid=1234567 // Hootsuite user ID
- i=1234567 // user identifier (optionally entered by user upon App installation)
- ts=1318362023 // timestamp
- token=123abc... // security token (sha1 hash)
App developers diverge here in terms of how they store these details for a user. The preferred method is to use the provided hsp.saveData and hsp.getData methods, however, storing this within a table within your app is also acceptable. Please avoid using cookies to store session information.
Multiple Account Support
In order to support multiple accounts across streams (the ability for a user to authenticate each stream under a unique account), you can tie the access token to the stream/app ID. Each new stream adds results in a call to authenticate with your service - even if the user has already added the app and authenticated it in a different stream, the app will request the user to authenticate again.
hsp.js Errors
hsp.init should not be in every page, but only on the initial page of the app and only called once. Once you have initialized, you should then be passing the PID and UID along to each successive page the user visits in the app. The UID and PID should be passed along as part of the recieverPath URL: /index.php?theme=magnum&lang=en&timezone=-25200&pid=515068&uid=209524
After loading my app stream, I am getting this js error: 'Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL https://abc.abc.abc from frame with URL https://xyz.xyz.xyz Domains, protocols and ports must match'.
- Make sure there are no errors on your app stream/plugin page
- Ensure your app stream/plugin is using the correct hsp.js: https://d2l6uygi1pgnys.cloudfront.net/jsapi/2-0/hsp.js
- Make sure apiKey in hsp.init() is correct
- If the Hootsuite dashboard is in SSL mode, make sure you have provided the correct secure iframe url in the app stream setting page. Make sure your app receiver URL is also using SSL. It is important that hsp.js is loaded in https.
I am getting 'API Key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is not correct, please check your app settings' error on the dashboard.
Make sure apiKey in hsp.init() is correct.
I am getting 'API Key: is not correct, please check your app settings' error on the dashboard.
Make sure apiKey in hsp.init() is not empty. If you use hsp.js in your popup or other iframe pages, make sure hsp.init() is not called again. The only hsp function that is legitimate to use outside app stream/plugin page is hsp.cloaseCustomPopup(apiKey, pid), and it doesn't require init.
After loading my app stream, I am getting this js error: 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'appendChild' of null'.
Check your hsp.init function. Make sure it is called after the page is completely loaded. e.g. put the function inside $(document).ready().
How do I use hsp function on my custom popup page?
If your popup and app stream/plugin are in the same domain, it is recommended that your popup uses the following javascript function to communicate back to your stream/plugin page and run the hsp function from there: window.parent.frames[apiKey_pid].hsp.some_function().

Mac CountryWide splurges $2.4bn on US centres
Page Tools
Macquarie CountryWide Trust has leapt into the big league after unveiling a $2.4 billion deal to buy a 65 per cent share of First Washington's US shopping centre portfolio.
Under the deal, the trust will join its existing US partner, Regency Centres, to buy a portfolio of 101 neighbourhood shopping centres spread throughout California, Washington DC, Baltimore and Chicago.
Combined with its existing US, Australian and New Zealand assets, the trust will become the biggest owner of grocery-anchored centres in the three countries.
Chief executive Kylie Rampa said the deal would be funded by a $706 million, 6-for-11 renounceable rights issue and a book-build placement to raise $137 million. The rest will be funded largely through debt.
The rights will be valued at $1.85 each on a distribution yield of 8.4 per cent.
The deal reflects the limited opportunities that listed property trusts have in Australia to expand. Macquarie CountryWide invests in shopping centres that are primarily anchored by a supermarket.
The Australian assets include Nambour Plaza, which was the trust's largest redevelopment since its listing in 1995.
Before the latest deal, the trust owned or had a majority stake in 148 properties in Australia and New Zealand. It entered the US market in July 2001 with Regency Centres and now the joint venture has a 75 per cent interest in 50 properties across North America.
"This is a trust transforming transaction," Ms Rampa said.
"The high quality of the assets, grocer strength, attractive demographics and forecast positive impact on the trust's performance combine to deliver a unique investment opportunity, which we're excited to bring to CountryWide investors," she said.
Following the signing of all contracts the trust's market capitalisation will jump from $1.5 billion to $2.4 billion, giving it a 2.7 per cent share of the ASX 200 Property Trust index.
The seller of the portfolio is the First Washington Investment I, LLC and California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) joint venture, plus a 75 per cent indirect interest in two additional US assets, with the remaining interests being acquired by Regency.
The trust's units were in a trading halt yesterday, last trading at $2.12.

About us
According to our research, (which forms part of a new report "Ways into Work for Young People,") a lot of young people feel that big business could do so much more to support them into the world of work. And here at the Co-op, we tend to agree.
Which is why, since 2011 we've taken on over 3,000 apprentices, paid them the rate for the role rather than the National Minimum Apprentice wage, and also provided the benefits of a full-time employee.
We've also created the Co-op Young Members' Board (CYMB) to provide insight into the thoughts, views, issues and aspirations of people aged 16 to 25. And we sponsor the Co-op Academies Trust, which is responsible for eight academies (four secondary and four primary) in Leeds, Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent – all committed to providing good quality work placements for students.

Hard-working single mom Jamie Fitzpatrick (Gyllenhaal) is concerned that John Adams Elementary is letting her daughter down. Teaming with a caring teacher (Davis) who wants the best future for her own son, she sets out to improve attitudes and elevate the school's academic standards. Despite the odds, with courage, hope and persistence, the women just might prevail in this uplifting film that also stars Rosie Perez and Academy Award Winner Holly Hunter (1993, Actress, "The Piano") .

And I agree with LAG that 7's scribble looks really good, even if it's become the denim symbol for "tool" have to agree with LA and jason here. i like nudies, seven, an occasional g-star (not really the jeans just the design some of the subtler diesels (although the embroidered back pocket that they use once in a while is cool) and of course levis, wrangler and lee! i think the dior dart/scratch is among the best designs ever. but i tend to love the simplicity of my designless julian reds and a.p.c.s the most. one thing i hate is the straight line (like express,prps, or a&f). but i definately lean towards a cleaner look in general. i like to collect obscure vintage jeans with interesting (and sometimes very ugly) back pocket motifs. nothing really beats this though

"Exactly what I was looking for"
I was looking for a resource that would help me develop as a DM. I had been a DM for years doing the same thing over and over. I felt like something was missing but couldn't figure out what it was. This book helped.
"Helpful tips for Dungeon Masters"
As a DM who is often overwhelmed by the amount of prep work associated with bringing a module to to table in a competent manner, I found this book has a lot of helpful information about how to reduce some of the things that eat up a lot of time and don't provide a lot of in-game payoff. Also, the book gets to the point and doesn't waste a lot of time. At under 3 hours, it's not a huge time investment to get the knowledge it offers.
-1 star as it refers to a pdf a number of times that is supposed to be supplied with this audiobook that you never receive with Audible. It doesn't hamper things too much, but it really would have been nice to have.
"lot of stuff to take away"
quick read that gives you a lot to reflect on. you get to see the concepts played out deferantly from 10 other gms points of view.
"great information for new and old DMS"
good for dms new and old. a must read for gamers of any experience. techniques taught in this book will make your game 5x better
This is a great guide for any DM who feels like they're putting too much work in to the game with too little reward. It gives great bulleted guidelines for keeping it simple and relying on the NPCs and PCs to flesh out the setting on the fly.
"Great Tips"
Another DM friend suggested this and was not disappointed. Advocates "Be Like Water" D&D- kun-do.
"useful and quick"
i liked it, had useful tips for running a session with minimal prep time, that is.literally what the book is all about
Hard @ Play!
"Great Advice"
Even if we all have our own style this book gives loght to new & interesting ideas!
"this is just what I needed"
I've been doing since the 1970s and tend to over prepare. the methods within this book seem promising, and look like they will bring back spontaneity and make my life easier. plus this book is very enjoyable
"Required read for any DM"
Short and to the point. This book reminds you that preparing a game does not have to be a 20 hour process. The author gives lots of great advice and resources plus the text is VERY up-to-date.

Former Republican Senate Majority Leader and 1996 GOP presidential nominee Bob Dole slammed the Republican Party on Fox News Sunday this week. Dole said the current party wouldn't welcome himself, Reagan, or Nixon and should go over their party policy.
"I think they ought to put a sign on the national committee doors that says 'closed for repairs' until New Year's Day next year and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas," Dole said when asked about the state of today's Republicans.
Dole also said he doubted he could make it in today's party.
"I doubt it," Dole said. "Reagan couldn't have made it. Certainly Nixon could not have made it because he had ideas. We might have made it, but I doubt it."
we have to believe him in respect to Reagan, they used to drag out his dead carcass everyday showering him with blind praise, then reality became know he did all of what they were accusing Pres. for and denying his olive brances.
he "COMPROMISED", he "RAISED TAXES" the one republican thing he did was lie, Iran-contra, trickle down the biggest mialead. now the re buried him and we don't hear his name much at all except from those who did,'t get the email.

My Italian Sketchbook
In My Italian Sketchbook, 30-year-old artist Florine Asch follows the tradition of the 18th century Grand Tour, when writers, architects and members of European high-society embarked on long journeys around Italy, taking in key cultural sites, often sketching as they went. Asch's sketches are full of character, light-hearted, spirited and bursting with charm. Her fresh approach leaves us full of respect for the classical wonders of Italy's art and architecture, but also opens our eyes to the equally delightful architecture of today's stores, the markets, and local life.My Italian Sketchbook is a must-have for Italy lovers and all those who paint in watercolor or simply appreciate this delicate art.

Sibling abuse, including sibling sexual abuse, commonly known as sibling incest, is more
prevalent than most people would like to believe. In fact, it is probably the most
accepted, and ignored, form of domestic violence.
According to Dr.
Vernon Wiehe, professor of social work at the University of Kentucky and author of Perilous Rivalry: When
Siblings Become Abusive, '...as many as 53 out of every 100 children abuse a
brother or sister, higher than the percentage of adults who abuse their children or their
spouse. What some kids do to their brother or sister inside the family would be called
assault outside the family'.
Because of the
relationship of perpetrator and victim the abuse is rarely acknowledged or understood
within the family. It is often hidden or minimized outside the family. 'Boys will be boys'
or 'siblings fight' are often heard phrases which minimize the activity, and the damage
caused by such behaviors.
Here you will find
information about the problems associated with this type of domestic violence. "Sibling Sexual Abuse - A Parents Guide" offers much
useful information. Separate sections help parents to recognize sibling abuse and give information on how to intervene if you discover this is
happening in your family. Also of interest is a section on prevention of sibling sexual abuse.
Perpetrators are
frequently protected by parents and other family members. This protection shields them
from dealing with the consequences of their actions. The victim is also not given the help
that they need in order to deal with the effects of the abuse.
Survivors of
sibling abuse & sibling sexual abuse often display signs of post
traumatic stress disorder. The symptoms are the result of traumatic events with which
the survivor is unable to cope. Complex post traumatic stress disorder is a relatively new
term, first used by Judith Herman in her book Trauma
& Recovery, and is used to distinguish symptoms and
situations of CPTSD from those of PTSD.
CPTSD is frequently seen in survivors of trauma, abuse and
control extending over months or years.
There may also be
signs of dissociative identity disorder or DID. Many of the symptoms
of DID will also be found on the other lists of symptoms caused by severe trauma.
Some people with
DID may have a tendency toward self-persecution, self-sabotage, and violence. The violence
may be self-inflicted and/or directed at the outside.
Denial serves to
reinforce the damage. The person will have problems that may last for a lifetime if they
do not receive treatment.
Adult survivors of abuse including sibling abuse may suffer from some of these symptoms.
These symptoms may vary in degree according to type and duration of abuse. Recognizing
symptoms is an important first step in recovery.
The perpetrator
usually does not get the treatment that they need to stop this type of behavior. Parents
and other relatives sometimes cover up the abuse out of disbelief or shame. The
perpetrator continues the behavior unless they receive treatment.
If you or someone
you know is a survivor of sibling sexual abuse, please get help. You may see, in yourself,
some of the signs or symptoms shown on these pages.

Well, it's the 11th day of Christmas by my medieval calendar, so I can get in another two posts on this before Christmas officially ends. And, purely by coincidence, it's more medieval Christmas music, but from countries other than Germany. Actually, there are only a couple of them—France, Italy, the low countries, England—that's pretty much it. There's surprisingly little from Spain, at least that's been recorded. One explanation is that there isn't that much of it, largely because much has been lost. Another, and more likely, explanation is that when Moors and Jews were expelled from Spain in1492, they took their music with them—and much of it resurfaced elsewhere, particularly in Italy. The Catholic Church wasn't particularly interested in multiculturalism at that time—quite the reverse, in fact.
But what we have is enough. Continue reading

On his day off, Ferris Bueller had quite the adventure. From "borrowing" the 1961 Ferrari 250GT of his best friend's unforgiving father to visiting both the Sears Tower and the Art Institute and finally to singing "Danke Schön" and "Twist and Shout" in front of thousands of Chicagoans, it's fair to say that no one ever had a day off quite like it.
Baseball Prospectus figures out which Cubs game Bueller went to.

Lions fall to Caledonia whip Houston, Lanesboro
By Craig Moorhead
, Government/Sports Writer
Tuesday, October 16, 2012 6:56 AM
Nicki Ellingson tips past Houston double block. The junior middle hitter scored 24 points at the net in 3-1 win against the Hurricanes.
Aly Folz keeps ball in play against Caledonia with no. 2 Tara Solberg and no. 4 Addison Cross ready to assist.
The Spring Grove volleyball team lost at Caledonia on Oct. 8, then won two home matches versus Houston on Oct. 9 and Lanesboro on Oct. 11.
Spring Grove (L) at Caledonia
8-25, 12-25, 12-25
Unable to stop the powerful hitting of Caledonia, the Lions dropped their 11th match of the year while playing their Highway 44 neighbor. The Warriors (19-6) came into the contest ranked No. 8 in the Class AA state poll.
While both teams had about the same number of attacks, the taller Warriors had 36 kills to 16 for Spring Grove. They also won the blocking battle 7-0. Caledonia had 39% hitting efficiency, by far a season-high for Lion opponents, while Spring Grove attacked with 4% efficiency (16 kills, 13 errors).
The leading scorer was 5-foot-10-inch Caledonia senior Maria Fruechte with 16 kills, 4 scoring blocks and two service aces.
The Lions had not previously experienced the elevation exhibited by 6-2 Emma Lange, 2011 state high jump champion, who was far above the net for her 12 kills and three ace blocks. The senior middle hitter also scored on two ace serves.
For the Lions, Nicki Ellingson put away seven kills with no errors. Addison Cross supplied 14 set assists. Samantha Bratland served 6 for 7 with two aces. Cross also served 5 for 6 with one ace.
Overall, the Lions put the ball in play at 91% with three aces and three miscues. The Warriors served aggressively at 95% with 11 aces and only four errors.
Spring Grove never led, falling behind 5-0 in set one and 4-1 in the both of the final two sets. In set two, the Lions came back to tie at five-all and six-all before the Warriors won six of the next seven points. It was the Warriors' ninth straight win in a series they lead 42-18.
Spring Grove (W) vs. Houston 25-16, 21-25, 25-17, 25-18
Returning to conference play, the Lions broke the tie for second place in the Southeast Conference (SEC) East Division with a four-set defeat of the Hurricanes.
Both teams were much more productive at the net than in their first SEC match, which the Hurricanes won in five sets. After achieving only 12% hitting efficiency against Houston back in September, the Lions matched their second-best efficiency of the year at 23% in the rematch.
Houston, at 25% efficiency, held a slight edge by virtue of a huge margin in the second set, the only one that the Hurricanes won.
Except for struggling in set two, Spring Grove had much better hitting numbers than the Hurricanes in the other three sets.
Ellingson led all scorers with 20 kills, 4 ace blocks and an ace serve. Cross scored 12 times with 5 kills, 2 blocks and a match-high 5 aces while serving 13 for 13. She also aired 37 set assists. Tara Solberg put away 11 kills.
Like Cross, Randi Mehus had 5 kills with only one misfire along with three ace serves. Bratland contributed 5 kills, 2 blocks and an ace serve.
Spring Grove served with their usual accuracy at 91% with Houston at 90%, but the Lions managed 12 aces while the 'Canes lost ground with three aces and eight serving errors. Outside hitter Aly Folz served 16 for 18 with two aces.
On defense, Mehus led with 12 digs with Aryn Jahnke digging 9 times. It was team defense as Folz had 8 saves with Cross digging 7 and Solberg 6.
The Lions never trailed in set one, getting off to a 12-3 start. They also took an 11-4 lead in set two, but Houston came back with a 15-3 run, which included 8 Lion hitting errors along with 5 Hurricane kills.
Following that hitting nosedive, Spring Grove's hitters came back strongly in final two sets. In set three, the Lions again took an 11-4 lead but this time did not falter and closed the door with a 25-17 win.
In set four, Spring Grove took a 9-4 lead only to see Houston tie the score three times before a four-point Lion run broke a 14-14 tie.
Spring Grove then closed the match with a block, an assist and an ace by Cross before a final-point kill by Solberg with an assist from Folz.
For the Hurricanes, Abbey Loken had 16 kills and Emma Berg 10. Senior setter Vanessa Lee had 9 kills and 27 set assists.
Spring Grove (W) vs. Lanesboro 25-17, 25-10, 25-16
Thursday's win over Lanesboro assured Spring Grove (14-11, 9-3 SEC) of a winning season and prevented the Burros (1-16, 1-11 SEC) from escaping the cellar of the SEC East.
The Lions enjoyed their best hitting efficiency of the season (26%) but suffered through a season-low 82% serving success.
Both teams struggled at the line with more errors than aces. The Burros kept only 80% of their serves in play, the second lowest of Lion opponents this season. With six ace serves and 13 errors, it was Spring Grove's worst ace-to-error ratio of the season.
The Lions had more kills than miscues in each set while the Burros accomplished that only once. LHS had 10 kills in the first set and then had only two in each of the final two sets.
Ellingson led in scoring, hitting 18 kills, 4 blocks and an ace serve. Bratland put away 4 kills, blocked for 2 points and served one ace.
Cross had 24 set assists in addition to scoring 4 kills and one service ace. Heidi Buxengard was the lone Lion with more service aces than errors. She served 2 for 3 with 2 aces.
Two kills by Madison Ming allowed Lanesboro to score the first point of the match and led briefly at 2-1, but the Burros played from behind most of the night.
LHS hit well in that first set but could not match the Lions four ace blocks and four ace serves. The Burros could not attack at the net with enough success to stay in contention in the final two sets.
Considering kills, errors and blocks, Spring Grove outscored LHS at the net 52-25.
Both teams closed their regular season on Oct. 16 with Spring Grove at Glenville-Emmons and LHS at LeRoy-Ostrander. Sub-section seeding occurs on Wednesday, Oct. 17.
The 12-team sub-section 1A East Tournament begins on Monday, Oct. 22 with the top four seeds having byes until the quarterfinal round on Oct. 25. The higher seeds will host the first two rounds.
The Oct. 27 Saturday afternoon semi-finals and the Nov. 1 finals are both staged at Mayo Civic Center in Rochester.

Bondcast with Xander and Matt!
1:00 PM on 10.29.2012 // Matthew Razak@MatthewRazak
Enough Bond minutia to kill a man
Xander is today watching Skyfall before I will, but just a few days ago neither of us had seen it so we sat down to talk about all the other James Bond movies we had seen. We planned to cover everything in one podcast, but that turned out to be impossible. Seriously, there's crap on the editing floor that no person ever need hear. The Bondcast, as we're boringly naming it, is simply two massive Bond fans talking about everything Bond.
We think it came out pretty well, but we're both insanely into Bond so it's also possible that we were speaking in some language we made up through our shared love of James Bond and we didn't even know it. Please give it a listen and let us know if anything we say makes any sense at all. If it does you're in for some in depth discussions on each and every Bond and, like any fine Flixist podcast, jokes about penises.

Rihanna Cancels Concert in Dubai As Chris Brown Celebrates His 20th Birthday
Rihanna Makes a Few Adjustments to Her Schedule
Rihanna left her NYC hotel yesterday afternoon following her late night of partying at the Costume Institute Gala. While she was rubbing shoulders with other stars on the red carpet, Chris Brown was back home in Virginia quietly celebrating his 20th birthday. Rihanna's busy travel schedule has one fewer trip on her itinerary now that her supposed comeback concert in Dubai has been cancelled. She did join Kanye on stage at Monday's big event, getting even some of the most serious fashion folks out of their seats to dance.

An update to my recent patch for setupWords() in htsearch.cc
because I identified some more goo.
It seems it is always wrong to remove words in "boolean" search,
as this will leave a dangling "or", "and" or "not" operator:
if you badword "cat", your "boolean" search for "cat or dog"
will just say "or dog" in $(WORDS).
This may still be incomplete; I would rather remove this
"filtering" of what to keep in $(WORDS) entirely; it only
half-heartedly removes badworded words and tries to skip the
"hidden" on-the-fly modifiers (those the user wrote inline in
the query such as "hidden:" and "exact:", see the
code and Mr Scherpbier's recent mail with the message-id
<email@example.com>, not in the archive yet).
This done for no good reason IMHO -- I think $(WORDS) should be
kept unmodified as the user wrote it; only for the *user* to
But that would be a change in function more than a fix for an
abnormal situation, so I will not make a patch for it until I
know if that's acceptable. (So? ;-)
This patch is a *replacement* for my recent patch (it was
easiest for me this way, as that one wasn't in CVS yet. :-)
By the way, is this address (firstname.lastname@example.com) really appropriate
for patches? <URL:http://dev.htdig.org/patches.html> says they
should go here ("the htdig mailing list"), but I think
htdig3-dev would be better. Thoughts?
