Thanks to Eric for the following TNA Impact Wrestling spoilers from Monday night's tapings in Orlando. These will air this Thursday on Spike:
* Bobby Roode and AJ Styles went to a five-minute time limit draw in the opener. Sting came out and gave them five more minutes. Roode works over AJ's injured leg to get the win.
* In the Wild Card Tag Team Tournament, Abyss and Scott Steiner beat Rob Terry and Hernandez.
* Kurt Angle calls out Sting to the ring and demands a rematch against James Storm. Sting says Storm won fair and there is no rematch. Angle threatens to go to Storm's home if he doesn't get his match.
* Zema Ion beat Tony Nese.
* Jesse Neal and Gunner go to a No Contest. Ric Flair was in Gunner's corner. Gunner pushed the referee and after the match, attacked Neal, who had to be stretchered out.
* Jeff Hardy came out and talked about his World Title shot at Genesis. Bully Ray interrupted and reminded Hardy that thye have a match tonight.
* Samoa Joe and Magnus beat Robbie E. and Douglas Williams in the Wild Card Tournament.
* Madison Rayne beat Traci Brooks.
* Brother Devon called out The Pope. Devon's sons came out with Pope. Devon wants to squash the beef but Pope eggs it on. Devon hits Pope with a right hand and tries to leave with his kids. Pope hits Devon with a low blow and leaves with the kids.
* Jeff Hardy beat Bully Ray in the main event. Bobby Roode ran down from commentary and attacked Hardy. They put a table in the ring and put Hardy through it. Sting came down and got in Roode's face but got beatdown by he and Ray. Impact ended with Ray and Roode posing in the ring.
and no mention of the firing on this weeks show way to go tna advertise like wwe and then cancel without notice.. but then too tna has done that many times with live events too. advertise for events the 2 3 weeks befopre it happens cancells the show and dont even let the venue owner know about it. very bad business decisons by owner jeff jarret himself.
It may have been taped… not in front of the live crowd.
also, it's ridiculously stupid to have magnus and williams on different teams.
Its called the wild card tag tournament for a reason.
Douglas Williams is already buried, and probably on his way out of TNA soon.
Magnus is young, and could possibly have a future in TNA
and the wild card tag tournament is stupd..WCW did this once..and it was a failure…Man..tna is a mixed bag right now..(better than the "e" but still…
7 Matches?
Very awsome
Sounds like minimal talking aswell
and we get to see wrestlers we haven't seen in ages (Zema, Nese, British Invasion)
About time some of these faces returned to Impact, half the roster is never seen anymore so its refreshing to see some of these characters again ! I'm sure the firing segment is going to be taped and shown on TV.
Hello Everyone,
First of all, Wasn't someone going to get fired because of the match between Hardy and Jarrett??? So did TNA just forget to work that into the Impact this week?!?!? Looks like just another TNA error.
Next, Why the Hell would TNA have Doug Williams and Magnus wrestle against each other. They are one of only two Tag Teams left in TNA. They are so short on real teams it doesn't seem right to do that !!!
Another thing, When the hell is Gail Kim going to defend her Knockout Tag Title??? It looks like they pushed the woman's Tag belt back again!!!!
Please, get Devon's kids off the tv. They don't wrestle, and I don't think that anyone cares about the lame story line with him and the Pope. They are both Mid-Card wrestlers at best, and then putting Devon's kids in the mix is just making it worse!!!!
Last. . . . You put the PPV main event in the opening match???? REALLY. . . . Nice to see that people paid money for a PPV that had a main event that is opening match material.
THANK YOU!…It really steams me that they did the FINISH to a PPV main event title match on free TV..it's like saying..hey..you paid 40 bucks to watch this, but we're going to let everyone see the ending for free. I remember WCW used to do that…along with this tag team thing..its just dumb…
Hey Mike,
I do remember WCW doing that too. Maybe TNA is doing it now because of Bischoff and Hogan.
I think so too. Even though Brother Love is supposed to be in charge of creative now, this absolutely is a typical Eric Bischoff MO. He's obviously still got lots of pull behind the scenes with TNA. Basically anybody who spends a dollar on TNA ppvs right now when the company has this attitude is nuts. The ppv's under this philosophy become throwaways. You don't need to buy the cow when you can get the milk for free. TNA shows no respect for it's paying fans when it does things like this. They need to get serious and decide whether they are a ppv driven company or a tv driven company and payoff in one form or another. This Nitro after ppv stuff just doesn't cut it.
the spoilers don't announce backstage segments. a jarrett could have been fired back stage.
screw tna for throwing jeff hardy right back into the main event

Vertigo Releases 'Strange Adventures' Creative Teams, Paul Pope Cover
Vertigo released this week the Paul Pope-illustrated cover of Strange Adventures #1, the mature readers revival of DC Comics' venerable science fiction anthology. A one-shot going on sale later this year, Strange Adventures #1 features a who's who of Vertigo creators both new and old. Most auspiciously, the issue comes with the first chapter of Spaceman, the much anticipated new project by Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso, the Eisner-winning creative team of 100 Bullets.
Check out Pope's Strange Adventures cover and the full creative team breakdown after the jump.Launched in 1950, Strange Adventures has been home to countless DC Comics short stories that are indeed strange but also quite cool. The title has a habit of birthing memorable characters like Deadman, Animal Man and Captain Comet, the latter of whom starred in a recent, well-received revival of the title written by Jim Starlin.
Vertigo's Strange Adventures includes contributions by Scott Snyder, Peter Milligan, Ross Campbell, Paul Cornell, Denys Cowan and Jeff Lemire, the latter of whom will lend his idiosyncratic style to DC's Ultra the Multi-Alien, who was recently characterized somewhat unfairly by comedian Conan O'Brien as "a f*cking mess." If anyone can turn that rep around, it's Essex County creator Lemire. You can see some of his artwork for the book in our previous coverage.

26. 1. 2005 - Collective bargaining continues at CSA
Prague, 26 January 2005
Today's meeting of the Czech Airlines Supervisory Board discussed the on-going collective bargaining at CSA. The Board unanimously supported the position of the CSA management in collective bargaining with union organisations and declared for the fulfilment of the company's Strategy for the 2004-2014 period. The objective of the Strategy is to increase the value of the company, its profit and to eliminate the cumulated loss by 2006.
"I've been closely monitoring collective bargaining at CSA and would like to stress that the objectives of the company management have unanimous support at Supervisory Board meetings", said about collective bargaining Eduard Janota, Chairman, Czech Airlines Supervisory Board and Deputy Finance Minister.
Collective bargaining still continues at Czech Airlines. The company management has reached agreements with seven out of nine union organisations. These agreements will allow concluding of a collective agreement for three years, and thus ensure medium-term stability of CSA and allow it to fully concentrate on customers and strategic projects.
Disagreement with unions representing pilots (CZALPA) and flight attendants persists. A team from the Czech Technical University, Faculty of Transportation Sciences, participates in the collective bargaining between the CSA management and pilot union. The team headed by Petr Moos, Vice-Dean of the faculty, should help bring the positions of both parties together. Václav Skurovec and Otto Pastor are another members of the team.
Jan Juchelka, Chairman, National Property Fund, the biggest CSA shareholder, said about the bargaining with pilots: "We support CSA management. The requirements of pilots are now beyond Czech Airlines' economic potential ":
"We do not question the high professionalism of CSA pilots, but the key investments to maintain competitiveness and investments in future development of the company have to be primarily directed to modern aircraft and technology, in accordance with the approved Strategy for the 2004 – 2014 period," said about collective bargaining Zdeněk Čáp, Executive Director, Czech Consolidation Agency and CSA Supervisory Board member.
If the collective bargaining fails, the dispute will be submitted to a mediator pursuant to §11 of the Collective Bargaining act no.2/1991. Both parties approved Jiří Kleibl, Dean, Faculty of Business Administration, University of Economics, Prague, to be the mediator.
Collective bargaining at Czech Airlines has started on 1 November 2004. All nine union organisations have been negotiating individually. Despite the fact that the previous collective agreement expired on 31 December 2004 and unions refused its extension until 31 January 2005, the management granted all employees the benefits that may be granted without a collective agreement under the Labour Code, until the end of January 2005. However, the company cannot grant its employees benefits resulting from previous collective agreements, such as reduced working hours by half an hour a day and an additional week of annual leave.

Jessica Alba Estylo Photoshoot
I know I said that the thing on Jessica Alba's chin bothered me, but sometimes you have to overlook little blemishes like that when you're faced with such an outrageous amount of excellence. I don't know if it's the hair or the shirt or the fact that Jessica Alba is an insane beauty Goddess, but these photos get my patent-pending Superficial Star Award. So if Jessica would just kindly stop by, I'll give her her well deserved prize: tons of sex with me.

When it comes to having a successful career, there is no substitute for hard work. But on the other hand, hard work won't do you any good if your accomplishments are going unnoticed.
If you're anything like me, you probably believe your work should speak for itself, and that the idea of tooting your own horn sounds, well, obnoxious. But waiting around hoping your good work will catch the boss's eye could be preventing you from getting the recognition—and possibly the promotions—you deserve at work.
But how do you let people know about your good work without sounding like a jerk? Here are a few techniques I've found successful.
Track Your Successes
If someone were to ask you, "What did you do this month at work that you are most proud of?" would you be able to answer? Maybe not—it's very easy to get stuck in the day-to-day grind of work and forget to take note of all the great things you do for the company.
So, make a plan for how you're going to stay on top of them. While this won't necessarily get your successes noticed, it will help you be more aware of them so you can know what to share with other people. Try one of these systems to get started:
Add Accomplishments to Your Meeting Agenda
Next time you meet with your boss, add an "Accomplishments" section to the meeting agenda. This might sound obvious, but it has been a powerful way for me to make sure I let my bosses know when something has gone extraordinarily well (without feeling like I am bombarding them with random cheers for myself).
I usually frame this in terms of progress on a major project and how it affects the organization overall, then I mention anything specifically that I did (my community-then-individual method of sharing good news). For example, "The new site launched successfully this week. Jessica and Mark were really helpful in ensuring the content was good to go, and we're getting great feedback from our audience! To get extra eyes on our work, I was able to secure syndication partnership with ABC Magazine, which has brought in additional traffic."
Not only is this a good way to keep yourself accountable for reporting your successes, it's great to set the expectation that you're achieving great things and that you want your boss to hear about them. Nothing beats having someone look forward to hearing about your great work.
Volunteer Your Expertise
One of the best ways to establish your contribution as an employee is by helping your co-workers solve problems. So, when you notice an ongoing problem or challenge that's related to something you're good at, offer your services. Don't just volunteer for anything, but offer to help in an area where you can demonstrate your excellence at a time when it's clear your talent is needed.
For example, at my company, Idealist , we're trying to figure out how to better support organizations that use our site to post jobs. I work on the job seeker end, and realized that there could be ways to make a stronger connection between those two audiences. I offered to help brainstorm ideas with the project lead, who in turn suggested my involvement and expertise to the executive director. Win!
In short, let other folks talk about how helpful and smart you are. In other words, let them do the bragging for you.
Tackle Low-Hanging Social Fruit
There's no need to share your accomplishments solely with your co-workers—you can also leverage social media to share your successes and build your brand . LinkedIn is made for this—you can list your projects and any key achievements you've had your various jobs, making it easy for others to see all you've done.
Meanwhile, Twitter and Facebook are perfect for mastering the fine art of the #humblebrag, à la, "It's not easy raising $20,000 in a year, but someone's gotta do it!" Or, forget being humble and just enjoy the semi-removed nature of sharing good news online. Go on. Try it now and see how many people support you, want to connect with you, and begin suggesting other great opportunities and resources to help you rock your career.
The important thing to consider when sharing any accomplishment is to focus on celebrating your success in the context of your company, career, and professional growth, rather than making it sound like you think you're better than others. Because, well, that would be bragging.

This months obsession: hats. I'm walking, talking and making hats all day now.
Allow me to introduce you this weeks efforts...
Rescued-from-the-side-of-the-road-hat. It looked like a ball of dirty felt when I found it. I cleaned and restored it and added a Boy Scout Leader vintage leather band (also found). Completely Indiana Jones now. Judging by the oily crease at the front, this hat has seen some serious wear.
Remake-hat-project: Daggy-thrift-store wool felt hat I re-blocked (which is to reshape a hat with steam and wooden hat block).
I also reduced the brim and added a coffee-stained silk ribbon band.
Thrift store straw hat before.
And after being reshaped and found nylon cord band in place. Denise calls it my 'Brokeback hat'.
Although done last year, I should include this one here too- a nod to Rihnhart Plank. An old fedora with a reduced brim and destroyed crown. I used a blow torch and soldering iron. That's another Boy Scout hat band too.
Oh dear...need more room already!
Then there is the sewn hats to sell....
Wool newsboy cap.
Denim off-cut flat(or Ivy/Bocce/Dai/Golf) caps.
Combat canvas caps too...
Next week I will actually be making the felt to make a hat with- wet felting. It should be fun as I have never felted before. I did say it was an obsession!
How is your obsession?

These two forms include all the information necessary for the competent authorities to give their consent to the movement.
This interactive database aims at facilitating the paperwork of all parties involved in transboundary movements of wastes by providing the necessary information to complete the forms. The database includes practical information and specific requirements or provisions for each country.
The database offers two possibilities:
1 View data from any country and run queries according to different selected criteria
2 National competent authorities enter and update their own data. Please select your country and enter your password

My families experience with Wounded Warrior Family Support was amazing from the start. Their application process was very smooth and easy to fill out to make sure you get all the information in properly. Once accepted we were able to schedule our family vacation for Oct, 2015 at the Bahama Bay Resort in Orlando for a week. Also along with the week in Orlando the organization donated free theme park tickets to the local large theme parks and a couple of gift cards to help cover cost of vacations. My family and I enjoyed the time we were able to spend together and go to some of the parks we have never be before. It's great organization and people like this that make it a lot easier to deal with some of the thing I personally and my family go through on a daily basis.
We are a family of 8. My husband is a wounded veteran and I care for him and our 6 girls. WWFS has been an amazing blessing with the help and support we have received. Wendy has been very understanding and willing to work through our issues as a family.
Wounded Warrior Family Support helped save my husbands life.
My husband is a Combat Marine, who was suffering horribly with PTSD, Night Terrors, Flashbacks & TBI. Not to mention other Combat related physical medical issues. My husband refused to seek treatment as he was the Sole provider for our family of 6.
They were instrumental in providing the help we needed, So he could get the help He needed.
Wendy, the Respite Director has been a continual support for us emotionally, and spiritually. Where would I be, and our family with out their encouragement, and support.
My husband is on the road now to Recovery. Which means, that our family is too.
God Bless Wounded Warrior Family Support. May God continue to richly bless this Non Profit, and all whom serve the Wounded Veterans and their families.
Wounded Warrior Family Support has been absolutely wonderful for our family!!! We went through so much during transition and they were there for us. We would never have been able to get through all that we faced without them!!! Even after initial contact and services they continued to contact us to check on our well being and continued to offer us services and resources! They have been truly amazing and I owe them more thanks for what they have done for my family than I could possibly give them!! Love them all so much! Thank you WWFS!! For truly caring and asking nothing in return!
I want to thank all at the Wounded Warrior Organization for the out standing trip to Bahama Bay Resort and tickets to three theme parks in Orlando, all expense paid made possible for my son's family and I. When he told me of it I was planning on driving from NC to meet them. When my son called to tell me that they were paying for my trip too as caretaker, I was blown away. Was a once in a lifetime gathering for all of us to be together and having fun.
It was a blast we had the best time didn't have to worry of nothing except to have fun and relax. It was like I was a kid again especially at Wet& Wild, I at 60 years old kept up with the young ones, not even sore the next day from all that stair climbing! Then Universal Studios got to have my photo taken with my favorite Transformer Bumble Bee, loved the ride too! Harry Potter ride was fun, but the dragon one was way too rough for me. I made a hit with my grandkids for they were wanting to ride with me! go figure grandma was the cool one! A week I will not forget! I do donate to WW and will continue to do hope everyone else does too! I pray for all service personal to stay safe.
First and foremost I just want to say that I pray that the staff at Wounded Warrior Family Support and your loved ones are in the best of health, body, mind, spirit and heart.
My sincere Thank you is not enough for what you and WWFS has done for my family and myself. We had an amazing and fun loving time at Yellowstone. The experience was just so Heavenly, especially because it involved spending it with my family. My deepest Thank you again for blessing us with such an amazing gift. Thank you for the love and care that you have demonstrated to me for the service in gave this great nation. Its because of organizations and people like yourself that I went to serve to defend this nation. You all will forever be engraved in our hearts...nothing can ever take away what WWFS has done for us. May the Lord bring an abundance of Peace, Love, Happiness, and Joy to everyone that was able to make this blessing happen. Thank you again for sharing your hearts with us.
God bless you and America,
Harrison Manyoma
U.S. Army (SGT) retired
Purple Heart ( July 04 )
Thanking everyone involve first of all, we were some grateful and blessed to be able to take a vacation that took us outside the home. I can not even begin to express our feelings. Just to see my family all so relax having fun and even the weather was perfect all because the WWFS. Thank you for moments and memory that will last forever in our family generation of story be told. GoD bless
First of all, Thank You to everyone who made this trip possible! It was such a great & positive memory we made as a family! When dealing PTSD & TBI I always say that my spouse isn't the only wounded warrior. My kids are too. They are the lil warriors in this battle that get left unheard or forgotten. They have been through a deployment and had to say goodbye to their daddy. The next they're welcoming a stranger. They've seen him at his worst and continue to walk on eggshells. I reluctantly applied for this trip. Crowds, noise, fireworks just doesn't work for us but this was different! We did rush through the parks, picked end seats in the stands at shows, just minor adjustments. This trip made our family seem whole again. It was worry free. Dealing with him is a lot and not having to worry about the finance part of it was even better! Seeing my husband smiling and posing with characters, enjoying rides with our kids was priceless! I can never thank you enough for this opportunity. I hope to some day give back and help another family!!!!
WWFS really made myself and my family feel special. They sent us to Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. The accommodations were above our expectations, and they provided everything we needed. To see the smile on my children's faces everyday, was priceless.
WWFS allowed my family to take a once in a lifetime trip to Yellowstone park in Wyoming. We had the best time, reconnected and enjoyed exploring one of our nations most incredible national parks! Every day was something new and exciting for my family and I to explore and learn. They thought of everything from travel accommodations, spending money and all lodging planning. We are so happy were were chosen and I hope more families get the chance to experience this great service for our wounded.

Venkateswaran Krishnan Sreenivasan
Old Age: A Replay Of Childhood - Poem by Venkateswaran Krishnan Sreenivasan
Old age, a virtual replay of childhood
Enacted in body, mind and mood;
An escape from tumultuous adulthood
Into an ignorant and innocent brood
The integument hangs like a garment loose
With spots and specks few would choose
No more the enticing ornament of youth
But a repellant apparel uncouth
The body shrinks like an autumn leaf
With veins coursing through a dried up sheaf
With a feathery touch, the thigh bone breaks
While walking or talking, the body shakes
The eyes look like crystals dimmed by dew
Everything in nature is dark in view
The ears are immune to the rumble in the sky
And to birds that sing in choir and fly
Downy scalp hair, all gray and sparse
Combing it becomes just a farce
Glossy pates save time on wash
And reflect sunshine in a flash
Unsteady gait balanced on stick
Oscillating like the flame of a wick
Propped up on stilt wherever they go
Like trees in the breeze, they toss to and fro
Food is gulped down as the gums are bare
A lucky few possess a fitted ware
Eating and voiding side by side
It is a bumpy ride against the tide
Is old age a replay of childhood?
A withered flower, not a blooming bud
A charade of characters on a crumbled page
A display of human frailties wrought by age

Hey everyone, this is my very first blog post (embarrassing, I know) and since I have stagefright I'm going to keep this short and sweet. This is the first of what I'm sure will be many $HOUTOUTs (yes, I wrote it like that) to University administrators working to green the hilltop.
First off is Audrey Stewart, our alpha and omega of sustainability. Audrey is the Program Coordinator for Sustainability at Georgetown and she has been instrumental in getting students' projects off the ground and connecting them to campus or D.C. resources. Since she arrived on campus, she has worked tirelessly on projects large and small within university administration to reduce our carbon footprint.
Erika Cohen-Derr, Director of Student Programs, is also a great friend of EcoAction and a proponent of sustainability on campus. She takes special care to incorporate student suggestions on how to reduce waste at student events like SAC Fair and Georgetown Day, and is helping us develop materials to train student group leaders in sustainability and reward them with "Green Organization" status.
More $HOUTOUTs after the jump!
The newest addition to the list of people we idolize is Claire Corbett at Lauinger Library. Claire has been a huge help in our efforts to make double-sided printing the default setting on library computers. We thank Claire for going out of her way for sustainability.
Much love to the students who came to our meeting to present on their eco-initiatives, including Jessie Robbins, GUSA's Secretary of Sustainability and an all-around badass; Colin Doyle and his composting initiative; and Farmer's Market co-founder Bre Donald. Contact these rock stars to get involved in their projects, and come out to our meetings to see how you can get involved and get EcoActive.
So there you have it, a group of hardworking people well deserving of a $HOUTOUT. We salute you!
If you want to give someone a green $HOUTOUT, write it up and email it to Madeline at email@example.com!

A. Complies
with test A for Identification described under Betamethasone and Clioquinol Cream but
preparing the solutions in the following manner. For solution (1) disperse a quantity of
the ointment containing the equivalent of 1 mg of betamethasone with 10 ml of methanol by heating on a water bath until the methanol begins to boil. Shake
vigorously, cool in ice and filter. Evaporate the filtrate to dryness in a current of
nitrogen and dissolve the residue in 0.5 ml of chloroform. Solution (2) contains
0.24% w/v of betamethasone valerate BPCRS in chloroform.
B. In
the Assay for betamethasone the chromatogram obtained with solution (2) shows a peak with
the same retention time as the peak due to betamethasone valerate in the chromatogram
obtained with solution (1).
C. In
the Assay for clioquinol the chromatogram obtained with solution (2) shows a peak with the
same retention time as the peak due to clioquinol in the chromatogram obtained with
solution (1).
For betamethasone
Carry out the method for liquid chromatography,
Appendix III D, using the following solutions. For solution (1) mix 10 ml of a solution
containing 0.024% w/v of betamethasone valerate BPCRS and 0.0012% w/v of betamethasone
21-valerate BPCRS in ethanol (65%)

The quantity of active ingredient with respect to
Betamethasone Valerate is stated in terms of the equivalent amount of betamethasone.

ROME -- A bishop's "ad limina" visit to Rome should be a time of reflection, renewal and inspiration to return home to preach the Gospel with joy, said Bishop Paul G. Bootkoski of Metuchen, N.J.
Preaching to his brother bishops from New Jersey and Pennsylvania Dec. 3 at Rome's Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls, Bishop Bootkoski said, "If we have a sense of joy and convey that message, that will attract the people of our society because, by and large, today it seems to be a joyless society."
With Pope Benedict XVI and bishops around the world focusing on the "new evangelization" -- finding new ways to preach the Gospel to people who have heard of Christ, yet never believed or have stopped practicing their faith -- Bishop Bootkoski said the bishops must reflect on how they preach, teach and live.
"It's a difficult age for all of us," he said. As recent popes have noted, "Western society has forgotten the concept of sin" and many people see themselves primarily as "victims" of things that have gone wrong, rather than as people responsible for making good or bad choices.
And, the bishop said, the sense of victimhood "creeps into our own personal lives" and ministry, unless each one is honest with himself and with God.
Bishop Bootkoski said that echoing St. John the Baptist's cry, "Prepare the way of the Lord," in the modern world is difficult when people do not believe they have to change.
The key to effective preaching and teaching is to have "a sense of joy. Sin abounds. It's all around, but it does not overtake us because we have the message of Jesus Christ," he said.
The "ad limina" visits, which bishops make to report on the status of their dioceses, also include time for reflection and prayer. Bishop Bootkoski told his fellow bishops, "We should be inspired and become renewed through this 'ad limina' to preach and teach the Good News to our people. That is our role. That is our goal. That is why we have been called to ministry."
The bishops celebrated a late-afternoon Mass Dec. 5 at Rome's Basilica of St. Mary Major with Bishop Donald W. Trautman of Erie, Pa., presiding and preaching. The previous day, he was released from a Rome clinic, where he had spent several days for medical care.
Bishop Trautman told Catholic News Service that although the group was scheduled to remain in Rome until Dec. 10, he would leave Dec. 6 and would seek further medical treatment at home for a urological problem.
The 75-year-old bishop had been in the clinic Dec. 1 when the other bishops of Pennsylvania met the pope, so he joined bishops from New Jersey for a group meeting Dec. 5.
"I was very pleased" with the meeting with the pope, he said. "He remembered me and I was pleased at that. We had met before when he was prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine (of the Faith) and I would come over to visit with him about liturgical matters" as a representative of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
The bishops are using the new translation of the Roman Missal for their Masses in Rome, and Bishop Trautman said it went well at St. Mary Major, although it was something of an adjustment to pray at a chapel where the altar is placed against the wall, meaning his back was to his fellow bishops, concelebrating priests and the small congregation.
In his homily at the Marian basilica, Bishop Trautman spoke about Mary as a model of trust and hope in God.

Get a clue. Once you are past the second generation of naturally born in habitant, you are a "native" and have no attachment to any other state other than the one you were born in.
You're a fool to request such a thing.
But, the guy that requested she go back to "her" country, thats just crap too. After all, this is the melting pot. Immigrants made this country. As long as she tried to be an American and not an Iraqi American, I'd accept her.
...to do anything else is simply ignorant.

u cant be just an american or iraqi-american when u are born in iraq and just lived here for a couple of years,what r u trying to say? that people who came here from another country should forget about their native country and all of a sudden become just american? thats absurd.total nonsense.It doesnt matter if u are past the first generation,u can not forget where you came from as that is your motherland an your native continent and u call urself caucasian coz of the caucas mountains which is not in colorado but in europe.The point is no one in the usa has a right to say to anyone "go back to your country" and certainly not kill anyone coz of that,her husband was a advisor to american troops going to iraq...now she's dead,5 kids with no mother coz of some idiot that has european DNA in him.
what does that even mean "as long as she tried to be just american and not iraqi american? wtf does that mean? and who the hell are you or who asks you who you would accept or not accept? im bosnian and if u ever told me that as long as i tried to be american and not bosnian american i would fucking punch your teeth down the throat.i will never ever be something i am not, i am a bosnian ,that is my dna,thats my first language ,i speak german too but i m not bosnian-german...i am an american citizen and thats that.I simply know a little more then you do not saying im better then you,just that i have a better oversight and a deeper understanding.
And by the way my son who is 1 yr old ,his mother(my wife) is american,born and raised,guess what language he is getting thought first? Yap,bosnian...because i am not worried about english as he will pick that up latter in no time,if i did when i was 14 so can he when he is 4...no problem for them to know 20 languages at that stage as a matter of fact.He needs to know bosnian coz it is the language english spawned off, guess why you say sit? what does sit mean to you? nothing ! or saddle...where does that come from? from the word sjedi in old slavic,which is now bosnian/serbian or croatian,same thing... s means with and jedi comes from jedan which means one so it means to sit down is to be one with it(whatever u are sitting on) im not saying that english spawned of just one language such as bosnian/serbian but others as well,ol french,latin old germanic of course...but the old slavic was a big component as it uses words like a picture directly describing the action or thing or whatever like a picture.In my opinion everyone should learn that language as it will help them get in touch with god better,any other language you learn actually will drastically help you understand the world better.

Our purpose of posting the ICM newsletter on the World Wide Web is to better serve Iowa agriculture with crop production and protection news by making it more accessible and by increasing the speed of delivery. The on-line ICM newsletter is linked to a search engine so that you can search for information by keyword.
Additionally, James Hill [3], county extension education director in Hancock County [4], has developed an excellent index of ICM articles from the past three years. You can find his index at the same web site. We will be using Jim's index until we get the opportunity to update older articles with the appropriate color photographs. You will find his efforts to be extremely beneficial in searching for ICM newsletter information beginning with 1994.
This article originally appeared on page 141 of the IC-476(20) -- July 29, 1996 issue.

About Spetses
Spetses, one of the most popular of the Saronic Islands, lies off the Peloponnese coast, about 180 km from Athens. Little has changed in this idyllic island over the years with its traditional houses and cobbled streets, where horse and carriage are still one of the main forms of transport.
Long ago, Spetses was famous for its ship building and even today the lovely harbor is bussing with life and fantastic fish dishes from the day's catch. Inland, there are pine-clad slopes that open all along the coast to reveal enchanting little bays and coves where you can bathe in the crystal clear waters or just merely laze in the sun.

WASHINGTON —Alabama in March became the latest state to sign on for collective e-tracking of pseudoephedrine sales, making the Heart of Dixie state No. 10 to employ the system statewide.
The makers of PSE-containing medicines have created an industry-funded system that allows law enforcement to identify "smurfers," or those who try to illegally violate limits in state and federal law on the amount of PSE-containing medicines individuals can purchase in a given period of time. E-tracking is favorable to cough-cold and allergy manufacturers fielding PSE as an ingredient because it poses no additional purchase barriers to consumers. State legislatures, such as that of California, had been considering the feasibility behind classifying PSE as a prescription-only medicine.
The e-tracking system also allows law enforcement officials to track would-be violators of PSE regulations in real time, enabling them to find meth labs that otherwise would have gone undetected.
According to a recent poll conducted by David Binder Research, more than three-fourths of Alabama voters supported the new e-tracking system. The poll also found that as many as 78% of those surveyed agreed that e-tracking will be "a huge help to law enforcement."
The nine states that already have passed legislation and/or implemented e-tracking capabilities include Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri and Washington.

New Clutch Switch "MOD"?...
So I have searched and read endlessly for my issue...
Car will start sometimes no problem first try, other times I have to stomp the clutch to the floor and then it will start. I thought maybe my clutch switch was going out, and I was dreading the possibility of the starter. I thought it couldn't be the started though as stomping the clutch to the floor made it so I could always start car.
The previous owner did do the clutch stop mod, and I have since adjusted it so that it is out as far as possible to be able to start the car. Well obviously sometimes a bit too far.
So I thought instead of the disabling mod to be able to start car without pushing clutch in, I thought maybe go a bit less dramatic and simply move the magnetic clutch switch device up a tad further "tricking" it so it is able to "switch" everytime so I can start the car with a normal pressing of the clutch.
Well, this worked! I tested with the clutch switch installed normal and pressed clutch in normal a few times in a row to try to start - would not start. Cheated it up with zip ties and did a number of starts in a row with just pressing the clutch in nice and soft.
Should this be ok to keep it like this? Any potential issues?

About the Piece
La Dolce Vita
Last Modified:
Fellini's La dolce vita (1961), starring Marcello Mastroianni, is a fanciful film about "nothing." Mastroianni plays a society writer caught up in the parties and superficial life of the rich and hangers-on in Rome's high society. Rota's much-copied theme captures the fleeting and shallow pleasure of "the sweet life."

Winston Churchill died on 24 January 1965, 70 years to the day after the death of his father. The Times still had advertisements on the front page - they ended on 3 May 1966 - but on the announcement of Churchill's death, an exception was made and the sombre news was promoted to the front page. Not even the Coronation had received this treatment.
Churchill was honoured with a state funeral, the first for a non-royal family member since William Gladstone in 1898. His body lay in state in Westminster Hall for three days and a service was held at St Paul's Cathedral. Thousands lined the streets on that bitter morning and millions more watched on television.

This column is available in a weekly newsletter called IT Best Practices. Click here to subscribe.
In October 2012, then-U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta gave a speech in which he warned that the United States was facing the possibility of a "cyber Pearl Harbor" and was increasingly vulnerable to foreign computer hackers who could dismantle the nation's power grid, transportation system, financial networks and government. According to Panetta, the nation's adversaries have been acquiring technologies that could allow an aggressor nation or extremist group to gain control of critical infrastructure. "They could derail passenger trains, or even more dangerous, derail passenger trains loaded with lethal chemicals. They could contaminate the water supply in major cities, or shut down the power grid across large parts of the country."
None of those things have happened in the U.S. – yet – but there have been recent high profile attacks on industrial and critical infrastructure systems elsewhere.
Investigators have confirmed that the Ukrainian power grid was knocked offline in December 2015 by a cyber attack that used malware to damage computers and sensitive control systems. A troubling aspect of this attack is that other countries' power systems aren't much better protected than the Ukrainian system, meaning this could happen anywhere. Even in the U.S.
Germany's Federal Office for Information Security reported a cyber attack on a steel manufacturing plant in late 2014. According to the agency, attackers used a spear phishing email to gain access to the plant's office network, and from there made their way into the company's production network. Commands were sent to the network's control components, preventing the plant from appropriately shutting down a blast furnace. This resulted in significant physical damage to the plant, costing millions of dollars and shutting down productivity for months.
Many experts believe this is just the beginning of cyber warfare events that will be waged around the world. Unfortunately, the industrial world is years behind the information technology (IT) world in preparing for cyber attacks, largely because this is something new in the operational technology (OT) world.
Traditionally, OT systems have been isolated and protected by the means of "security through obscurity." Industrial systems run on proprietary operating systems from companies like Schneider Electric, Honeywell, Emerson, Siemens and a handful of other vendors. Until recently, they have had no connections to the IT world where malware is prevalent.
This is changing, however, as plant operators seek the benefits of creating connections between IT and OT systems. Operators want to gather important metrics that can help them improve their production processes and gain better insight into the business overall. But this is creating vulnerabilities on the OT side of the house, and as a result, plant operators need to harden their OT environments—something that is easier said than done.
The IT and OT environments are quite different. In the IT world, if a vulnerability is discovered, say on a Windows or Linux system, it's simple to install a patch and reboot the system. In an industrial environment, you can't just shut down a production system to apply an update or patch and then reboot. Something like a petroleum refinery, a water treatment plant or an electricity generating station has to be scheduled for downtime, and even at that the maintenance is typically performed only once or twice a year.
In the IT world, systems get replaced every three to five years. In the OT world, the replacement cycle for machines might be 10, 20 or 30 years or more. Equipment that is decades old was never built with security in mind, so there might not even be a way to update the OS.
There are many issues in the industrial world that make security hardening a real challenge. NextNine is one company stepping up to address the challenges, offering a distributed platform for security management of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition/Industrial Control Systems (SCADA/ICS) environments.
NextNine's platform consists of a centralized security center, virtual security engines that are located at each plant location (one per plant), and a secure communications tunnel that connects the security center to each plant's security engine.
The plant operator defines the enterprise security policy in the security center and it is pushed out to the various plant locations. The virtual security engine can semi-automatically – with help from a human because of the industrial environment – implement security policy. The engine also measures the compliance of the security policy to what has been defined and will send the results back to the central office to present in a dashboard. This process goes well with concept of the hardening circle that security people would like to see: set the security policy, measure current compliance to the policy, report the gaps, address the gaps, repeat.
NextNine offers a variety of services with its platform. One of them is a granular remote access solution that enables a vendor – say, Honeywell – to get into the plant to provide updates and patches to its own devices. The remote access solution would allow a specific engineer at Honeywell to see only Honeywell devices, and only the ones that he is allowed to deal with. He can only perform tasks he is authorized to do, and even those can be overseen by local personnel and aborted in case the engineer does something dangerous or that isn't allowed. It's a strong mechanism with audit trails that are required by various security regulations such as NERC CIP.
Another NextNine capability is inventory. Maybe this sounds trivial, but many of these industrial companies don't know what assets they have. If they don't, they definitely cannot defend them. It's not as easy as it sounds to do an asset discovery and inventory because in this fragile, proprietary world of industrial systems, if the asset discovery is done too aggressively, it's possible to bring the plant down, which is the worst possible scenario. NextNine says it enables an asset inventory without putting availability at risk.
NextNine keeps a whitelist of approved applications and a blacklist of things that aren't permitted to run on these systems. The solution also collects log files to send to a centralized security information and event management (SIEM) system for analysis. NextNine supports a variety of third party anomaly detection tools and does compliance measurement. Everything is presented in a dashboard to keep management informed of the security status.
The end result is that there is an inventory report, a site compliance report for the security policy, and a dashboard that managers can look at and act upon to improve the hardening of the plant. While this is commonplace in IT environments, it's truly a new experience in many industrial situations that have never done this before.
NextNine says its solution is vendor-agnostic and will work with equipment from a variety of industrial vendors, as well as with active security protection solutions (like anomaly detection and patching) from specialty software vendors.
This platform is said to fully conform to the NERC CIP 5.1 standards, and NextNine says it is even helping define industrial security standards being put forth by the White House and NIST. It's all done with the goal of reducing industrial cyber risks and bringing a more mature security posture to this vulnerable environment.

Pennsylvania gambling regulators are expected to give the state's racetracks the go-ahead Sept. 27 to plug in thousands of slot machines, the biggest step in two years toward making Pennsylvania one of the nation's busiest gambling markets.The seven-member Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is scheduled to vote on whether to grant conditional slots licenses to the state's six racetrack owners, which include the nation's largest casino operator, Harrah's Entertainment Inc. With most, if not all, of the racetracks expected to get the nod, Pennsylvanians for the first time will soon be able to play slots in their home state, instead of driving to Atlantic City, N.J., Delaware, New York, or West Virginia.To wrap around the gambling floors, the racetrack owners are spending well over $1 billion to tear down old grandstands and rebuild them with steakhouses, spas, and sports bars. The Mohegan Indians, who operate a huge casino in Connecticut, are shooting to open the first slots parlor in Pennsylvania. Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs, in the northeastern region of the state, could open its doors as early as November."We're going about 100 mph right now," racetrack spokesman Jim Wise said. "It's a very exciting time. It's a lot of long hours and lot of energy being expended, but it's all worthwhile to get this building open."A temporary slots parlor in the renovated grandstand at the track near Wilkes-Barre will house the machines until a more elaborate gambling hall can be built over the next two years. The rest of the racetrack owners expect to unveil slots casinos over the course of the next year.
In December, the gaming board plans to decide whether to issue permanent slots licenses to the racetracks, as well as to pick from among 15 casino developers and established resorts that are competing with one another for seven additional slots licenses.A 14th slots license is set aside for whoever wins the state's final harness racing license. Applicants from Lawrence and Beaver counties were rejected by the Pennsylvania Harness Racing Commission, but a Pennsylvania appeals court said the commission erred in rejecting the bid of Bedford Downs in Mahoning Township. The court upheld the rejection of Valley View Downs in Beaver County. The appeals court decision is being appealed by both the commission and Valley View Downs.Ultimately, Gov. Ed Rendell expects Pennsylvania's slots parlors to pull in $3 billion a year, with most of the state's share to be used to help cut local taxes and boost the state's share of spending on public schools.If his projection proves accurate, Pennsylvania would become the third-biggest commercial gambling state in the nation, behind Nevada and New Jersey and ahead of Mississippi and Indiana, based on 2005 statistics compiled by the American Gaming Association.Pennsylvania's July 2004 law that legalized slots allows up to 61,000 machines, a number that would make Pennsylvania the second-biggest slots state behind Nevada, not counting Indian casinos.With racetracks in each corner of the state and most near major population areas, including Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, at least two-thirds of Pennsylvanians will live within an hour's drive of a gambling hall. Pennsylvania's racetrack slots also will be an hour's drive from competing gambling destinations, such as Atlantic City.Pennsylvania's horse breeders and racetrack owners are heralding the arrival of slots as the savior of the state's declining equine industry. With neighboring states using slots to plump up purses at their racetracks, many breeders and bettors have drifted away from Pennsylvania in recent years, industry officials said."It will be the first time in a long period that people will be able to make money in this business in Pennsylvania," said Joe Thomson, a Pennsylvania-based Standardbred breeder who has farms in Delaware, Maryland, New York, and Canada--but not Pennsylvania.Many officials in Pennsylvania's racetrack towns also have welcomed the slots as a boon to their bottom lines. Officials in the Bensalem Township have long been slots boosters because they feared losing Philadelphia Park, the biggest employer and taxpayer there.

Comments to the FT from one of the most important figures in the NHS this morning ask the most fundamental question that can be asked about the NHS: in an era of austerity can a universal free health service survive?
Malcolm Grant, chairman of NHS England, told us that he thinks a future government will have to consider more widespread user charges in the health service unless the economy picks up.
Grant made clear that he would not support any departure from the defining principle of a free-at-the-point-of-use NHS. But that doesn't matter – these are macro-economic decisions for government that fall beyond his remit. Read more

Ideology or academic freedom?
Two interesting developments:
Congress has decided to hold hearings to assess the claim made by Stanley Kurtz, Martin Kramer, Daniel Pipes, and others that Title VI funded academic programs in Middle Eastern studies are hotbeds of anti-American propagandizing. The hearing, which will be called "International Programs in Higher Education and Questions of Bias," will commence this Thursday. Kurtz, who will be testifying, has the details. In short, his argument is that thesis-driven post-colonial theory (think Edward Said's Orientalism) has effectively derailed genuine inquiry in academic Middle Eastern Studies, so much so that many prominent programs actively work against the government that funds them.
To be clear: Kurtz and others are not arguing that Middle Eastern Studies should be parrots for American foreign policy, but rather that the government should think twice about allocating special funds to departments so politically driven that they boycott the National Security Education Program, a scholarship program that "supports foreign-language study for students who agree to work for national-security-related agencies after graduation." For the last decade, the African-, Latin American-, and Middle East Studies Associations have all boycotted NSEP.
Kurtz's killer point:
academic freedom and free speech must be protected. Free speech, however, is not an entitlement to a government subsidy. And unless steps are taken to balance university faculties with members who both support and oppose American foreign policy, the very purpose of free speech and academic freedom will have been defeated. The vigorous and open debate that's supposed to flourish at our colleges and universities cannot exist without faculty members who can speak for divergent points of view. Yet, by rewarding politically one-sided programs with gigantic funding increases, Congress is actually removing any incentive for deans and provosts to bring in faculty members with diverse perspectives. At this point, Title VI funding increases are only stifling free debate.
Read the whole thing, as they say. And then check out this piece from yesterday's Contra Costa Times detailing how the University of California is proposing to change the wording of its statement on academic freedom by excising the passages that exhort professors to avoid trying to convert their students to their point of view.
Critics of the current UC statement say that it is archaic, and that it needs to be revised to acknowledge that it is impossible for professors not to bring their politics into the classroom. They want to cut the section that reads, "To convert, or to make converts is alien and hostile to this dispassionate duty" as well as the section stating that the University "assumes the right to prevent exploitation of its prestige by unqualified persons or by those who would use it as a platform for propaganda" because, a spokeswoman said, "If we accepted that as our standard, we would not be able to offer a whole lot of courses we do offer. ... Some of the most interesting work in academia is political and passionate." The new statement would explicitly give students academic freedom, but it would also strike existing language that forbids professors from proselytizing. If the proposed revisions are accepted, the University of California would no longer promise to provide "facilities for investigation and teaching free from domination by parties, sects, or selfish interests."
Luann Wright, founder and president of NoIndoctrination.org, has been fighting the proposed changes for some time. Her take on them is simple and to the point: "It's almost condoning using the classroom as a platform for indoctrination." Supporters of a revised policy say the changes are long overdue, and that they would bring the UC statement in line with those at peer institutions. But one has to wonder about the timing and the motivation. After the flap the UC Berkeley English department endured last year when graduate student Snehal Shingavi wrote a course description warning conservative students not to take his class on "The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance," one would think that the last thing the University of California would want to do is revise its statement on academic freedom so as to seem to accommodate, if not actively encourage, such outrageously partisan behavior. But there it is.
So: Stanley Kurtz and others have convinced Congress to consider the possibility that Title VI funding is actually working against its own stated aims, and that the government should consider whether it wants to continue to spend dollars on programs that are not using those funds conscientiously and impartially. Meanwhile, the University of California is considering altering the language of its academic freedom statement in such a way that it turns every classroom in the system into a de facto political forum. Taxpayers may have something to say about that, as may the government that supplies the University of California with the bulk of its funds.
Thanks to readers Jeff P. and Fred R. for links to the NRO and Contra Costa Times pieces.
