University Concert Choir
The University Concert Choir is a mixed soprano-alto-tenor-bass chorus of between 45 and 50 students. The group performs standard choral works of all styles and in several different languages. Under the direction of Prof. David Neiweem, the Concert Choir has collaborated with the University Catamount Singers, the University Orchestra, and the Burlington Choral Society in recent years.
The Concert Choir typically performs at the Homecoming Concert and Halloween Organ Concert in October in addition to a full program at the end of each semester.
Recent repertory
Recent repertory includes performances of Ramirez' "Misa Criolla", Mendelssohn's "Hear My Prayer", and, together with the Burlington Choral Society, several major works including Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Verdi's "Requiem". The Concert Choir also participated in recent premiers of new works by Professor Emeritus Thomas L. Read and former Associate Professor Michael Hopkins.
Auditions are held at the beginning of each semester, during the first class meeting. Students are not required to prepare material for the audition, but will be tested for range, pitch/rhythm/melody memory, and basic music reading ability.

Natalie Portman Gossip
Natalie Portman gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
It's hard out there for a female director
Wenn, Jason Kempin/Getty
A couple months ago, Marvel Studios announced that Patty Jenkins, director of Monster, would be in charge of Thor 2, which was very exciting as it was only the second time a woman would be in charge of a superhero tent pole project (Lexi Alexander was the first to do so with Punisher: War Zone—this would've been the first time a woman was in charge of a superhero movie with the potential to actually be good). Full Story
Natalie Portman – Worst Everything Ever
Written by Duana "Um, well, first of all, I don't know the sex of my child". Ugh. And then again, ugh. I'm going to try to rein in my rage and let it slowly build rather than unleash it all at you, unsuspecting, in one go. Full Story
Pregnant in virgin white
Written by Duana There's a thing that happens wherein people talk about how glamorous our mothers looked when they were pregnant, and lament that people are now wear leggings and so forth. That's half due, I suspect, to the fact that depending on how old you are, your mother might have been holding a Betty-Draper style cigarette and or lounging in something orange, because that's what happened in the 1970s. Full Story
The Black Swan & Sofia Coppola
It was announced a couple of months ago that Natalie Portman is the new face of Miss Dior Cherie. Her topless kitten ad is below. Now the commercial, directed by Sofia Coppola, has been released online. Her face is exquisite. Beautiful lighting. Typical Coppola atmosphere. But what's it lacking? Something… I can't put my finger on it. Full Story
Straddling Oscar weekend
Like there's not enough on his plate. James Franco has been nominated for an Oscar for his work in 127 Hours. He's also hosting the Oscars on Sunday February 27th. That Friday he's back on General Hospital Full Story
Pregnancy BitchFace
Woah! Does everything get more concentrated when you're expecting? My friends say that senses are heightened, everything is felt more acutely, and, judging from Natalie Portman, even BitchFace gets more intense. That right there could rival Jessica Seinfeld Full Story
The Smutty World of Benjamin Ballet
It started with a curious item in Page Six about a couple of months ago. Benjamin Millepied, Natalie Portman's fiancé and baby father, was supposedly "obsessed" with her on the set of Black Swan, where they fell in love. He stopped at nothing to have her. He ignored everyone else to be close to her, including a longtime girlfriend… The implication then was that Millepied is a golddigger, determined to get ahead. Full Story
SAG Possessed Bride: Winona Ryder
Why is my girl so crazy? Half the time she looks, like, stunned to be there. And it's not like Winona Ryder is a stranger to these occasions. Quite the opposite, in fact. Winona should be very familiar with an awards season. But it's still like a caged animal on display, big brown eyes darting around, ready to flee at a moment's notice. Full Story
SAG Black Swans: Natalie Portman & Mila Kunis
Natalie Portman did nothing annoying last night. Ok maybe her clapping. But even I can concede that that's really, really stretching. She looked lovely, her womb did not inform her acceptance speech, and I have to say I quite enjoyed the attitude she was throwing at Giuliana Rancic during the pre-show when she was asked about dumbass sounding baby names. Full Story
I WENT TO FILM SCHOOL…again
Finally had a chance to watch the Newsweek Actor Roundtable. I love these videos. But they're an investment. If you do have an hour at lunch, or at home later though, I promise it's more worth your while than most talk show interviews. Because it's not so much what they say, it's what they say to each other. Full Story

Hi Guys,
I've read somewhere (can't find it now :( ) that it is better to use panels not blocks . I can't remember weather it was about curtain case or in general.
Can anyone please recommend me a good article where I can read about differences between panels and blocks and advantages and disadvantages of use both?

In 2006, it was discovered that Bayer found out a vaccine it was selling in the United States was accidentally contaminated with HIV.
In order to cover its tracks, say the journalists in this video (below), Bayer pulled the vaccines off the market and sold them to consumers in Japan, France, Spain and other countries, where hemophiliacs were then contaminated with HIV due to the vaccine.

In 2006, it was discovered that Bayer found out a vaccine it was selling in the United States was accidentally contaminated with HIV.
Brain-cooling devices developed
Scientists have developed new ways to cool the brains of heart attack and stroke victims to protect them from damage and help save lives.
Among the inventions, reported in New Scientist magazine, are a cap that blows cold air across the scalp.
Dangers of Third Hand Smoke
You've heard of the dangers of smoking and of second hand smoke, but have you heard of third hand smoke? It's a newly discovered danger that doctors are now warning of. Third hand smoke is the toxic chemicals left on clothing and in you hair that lingers long after you've smoked a cigarette. So even if you don't smoke around your child, it's still dangerous to children, giving the health department yet another reason to discourage tobacco use.
Law on Flu Vaccinations May Be Tested
New Jersey, the first state in the nation to require flu shots for young schoolchildren, set a Dec. 31 deadline for parents to obtain flu vaccinations for their children. It was part of a new policy requiring a total of four additional immunizations for schoolchildren over the objections of some parents who worry about possible risks from vaccinations.
The requirement applies to children between 6 months and 5 years who are attending licensed day care and preschool programs. State public health experts said that flu shots for young children are important for overall public health.
A New Cigarette Hazard: 'Third-Hand Smoke'
Parents who smoke often open a window or turn on a fan to clear the air of second-hand smoke, but experts now have identified another smoking-related threat to children's health that isn't as easy to get rid of: third-hand smoke.
That's the term being used to describe the invisible yet toxic brew of gases and particles clinging to smokers' hair and clothing, not to mention cushions and carpeting, that lingers long after smoke has cleared from a room. The residue includes heavy metals, carcinogens and even radioactive materials that young children can get on their hands and ingest, especially if they're crawling or playing on the floor.
Grape extract kills cancer cells
An extract from grape seeds can destroy cancer cells, US research suggests. In lab experiments, scientists found that the extract stimulated leukaemia cells to commit suicide.
Within 24 hours, 76% of leukaemia cells exposed to the extract were killed off, while healthy cells were unharmed, Clinical Cancer Research reports.
Marinating 'may cut cancer risk'
Marinating a steak in red wine or beer can cut down the number of cancer-causing agents produced when it is fried or grilled, research suggests.
Meat cooked in this way contains relatively high levels of cancer-causing compounds called heterocyclic amines (HAs).

2014 Honda Odyssey Aces New Crash Tests
It may have a built-in vacuum cleaner, but when it comes to safety the Honda Odyssey most certainly doesn't suck.
The 2014 Odyssey has been awarded the highest overall rating of 'Good' by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), including a rating of 'Good' on the new small overlap frontal crash test – a new test designed to replicate an accident where the front corner of the car impacts another vehicle or object (such as a utility pole or tree). As a result it has been awarded the highest Top Safety Pick Plus rating by the IIHS.
The Odyssey joins the 2013 Civic and Accord in earning Top Safety Pick Plus ratings.
SEE ALSO: 2014 Honda Odyssey Gets a Built-in Vacuum
"Honda's commitment to safety is perhaps best demonstrated by the fact that we achieved this high standard in a mid-cycle refresh of the 2014 Honda Odyssey," said Art St. Cyr, VP of product planning at American Honda. "Honda's goal is to continuously advance the safety performance of every Honda vehicle to fulfill the trust our customers place in the Honda brand."
"Safety is high on the list for parents when it comes to shopping for a family vehicle," said Institute President Adrian Lund. "Consumers look for models with the highest safety ratings. Honda is ahead of many of its competitors in building state-of-the-art crashworthiness into its vehicles."
While a mid-cycle refresh, the 2014 Odyssey gains an improved safety structure as well as a new type of side curtain airbags specifically designed to protect occupants in an offset crash.

Amplifier Power Specifications
Amplifier Specifications
An amplifier increases the power of the signal being fed to it by taking energy from its power supply and matching the signal but increasing its amplitude. Amplifiers use many different methods for converting these electrical signals and have been categorized into classes.
Class A/B: Greater than 50% of the input signal is amplified while the other percentage is "off". These amplifiers have a small amount of current flowing through the output transistors all the time which almost eliminates crossover distortion. Class A/B has great sound quality but is not as efficient as class D. These amps are most commonly used to drive speakers.
Class D: Also known as switching amplifiers, class D amps have output transistors that are completely turned "on" or "off". This means that when the transistors are on, there is almost no voltage across them but when they are off there is significant voltage but no current flowing through it which makes these amplifiers very efficient at the cost of sound quality. These amps are most commonly used to drive subwoofers.Other Classes: You may see classes such as GH, bD, X, FD, etc. by some manufactures. These amplifiers tend to be either class A/B, D or a hybrid of the two but with improvements to their designs that can make them more efficient or offer better sound quality.
RMS power is the amount of continuous power, measured in watts, that an amplifier produces is called RMS power. The higher the RMS figure, the louder and cleaner your music sounds.
The RMS output figure is much more accurate than the peak rating when comparing products.
A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.
When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.
The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.
- RMS Power
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio
This rating applies to both external car amplifiers, as well as the amplifiers inside of in-dash stereos.
Subwoofer Specifications
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".
Sealed: These enclosures completely enclose the air inside the box. These boxes produce a tight bass.
Ported/Vented: These enclosures have a slot of air to escape from the box. The result is a sound that has more "boom".
Bandpass: These are a combination of both sealed and ported enclosures. They can be very efficient, but require tuning for the best response.

Programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) is an immunosuppressive receptor that transduces an inhibitory signal into activated T cells. Although a single nucleotide polymorphism in the gene for PD-1 is associated with susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), PD-1's role in SLE is still not well understood. we used NZB/W F1 mice, a model of lupus-like nephritis, to examine the function of PD-1 and its ligands.
Immunohistochemistry, Intracellular cytokine assay, Antibody treatment using anti-PD-1 and anti-PD-L1 mAb, and CDC assay.
PD-1 was predominantly expressed on CD4+ T cells that infiltrated the kidney, and CD4+PD-1high T cells produced higher levels of IFN-g than CD4+PD-1low or CD4+PD-1- T cells. Stimulation with PMA/ionomycin caused splenic CD4+PD-1+ T cells to secrete high levels of IFN-g and IL-10, low levels of TNFa, and no IL-2, IL-4, or IL-17. In vivo anti-PD-1-mAb treatment reduced the number of CD4+PD-1+ T cells in the kidney of NZB/W F1 mice and significantly reduced their mortality rate (p=0.03). Conversely, blocking PD-L1 using an anti-PD-L1 mAb increased the number of CD4+PD-1+ T cells in the kidney, enhanced serum IFN-g, IL-10, and IgG2a ds-DNA-Ab levels, accelerated the nephritis, and increased the mortality rate.
CD4+PD-1high T cells are dysregulated IFN-g-producing, proinflammatory cells in NZB/W F1 mice.

text: On November 30th, 1996 I was born into this world. I'm sure you guys are not worried about that though. Haha! Anywho, on to the reason I started writing this article. My birthday was over the weekend. My dad, Kaye, Molly, and I went into the Smokey Mountains. This is only the second time I have even been to the mountains. Last time we stayed in a hotel this time we stayed in a two story cabin! It was an amazing trip! In this cabin on the ground floor there were two rooms and two bathrooms. Also, there was a pool table or as some people call it a "billard" table. Upstairs there was a bedroom, a bathroom, a huge living room, dineing room, and kitchen. On the deck outside there was a hot tub! In all of the bathrooms there is a Jacuzzi! We shopped all day Saturday. That was fun. When we decided to head home on Sunday we went by a place with alot of Christmas stuff inside. Me and my dad decided to walk across the road to the park while everybody else shopped. We saw a bunch of ducks.We were then as we say "Homeward bound". I had a great time at the cabin but, I have to say it was great coming home getting to sleep in my bed. Well, that was my trip. I took some pictures so I figured I would share them with all of my newsvine friends.(:

What is in this article?:
- Advanced Centrifugal Casting for Complex Geometries
- Significant Green Advantages
- Gravity + centrifugal force
- Controlling acceleration
- Process benefits list
- Controlled influx technique
Samples of complex castings produced by the speed-controlled centrifugal process, developed by Gravcentri (U.S. Patent No. 8,186,417 B2.)
Metalcasters seeking a no bake process that offers excellent material properties with reduced scrap rates and a relatively low capital investment should take a close look at developments in centrifugal casting. Recent advancements in the centrifugal casting process make it an ideal choice, especially for reducing the cost of complex castings versus traditional conventional casting processes. With this new process, molten metal is introduced into the cavity by combining gravity feed and centrifugal force feed using a variable-speed rotating turntable under electronic control. The centrifugal force is controlled, making it substantially more consistent until the metal has solidified.
This is accomplished by controlling the ramp-up acceleration of the turntable where rotational velocity is a time-dependent function of rotational radius and molten metal mass, taking into account the flow rate and cooling rate of the liquid. This allows the centrifugal casting process to produce castings with more complex geometries —which is a challenge with traditional centrifugal casting processes.
There are many benefits to using this improved centrifugal casting process for complex cast components, including:
Energy Efficiency — This process significantly improves energy efficiency, reduces waste, and minimizes the need for risers and may eliminate vents through a process that uses both gravity feed and centrifugal force feed, to very accurately control the flow of the molten metal into the mold cavity. It also minimizes the amount of metal remaining in the sprue when the metal cools. The riser can be of minimal size thereby minimizing waste.
Improves Yield — A conventional ferrous sand casting process will yield approximately 65 lb. of finished product for every 100 lb. of metal poured (65% efficiency / or yield.) This improved centrifugal process will yield approximately 85 lb. of finished product for every 100 lb. of metal poured (85% efficiency/ yield.)
Eliminates Venting — Because the molten metal is introduced under controlled conditions, it is possible to fill most mold cavities that would otherwise necessitate a vent. This lessens assembly labor requirements as well as lowering cleaning room time and improving yield.
Reduces Waste — The controlled influx technique allows the mold cavity to be filled at a rate that does not damage or degrade the mold walls, to ensure the entire cavity is filled before the metal starts to solidify regardless of configuration, in a controlled quantity that leaves very little excess material that will need to be removed.
Higher Quality — The controlled influx technique advantageously keeps the majority of the heat at the ingate. When the ingate is designed with a riser, the riser is heated with the metal flowing into the mold making the riser size requirements less than in traditional static single gravity technique.
This heated riser process, in addition to the pressurization of the riser from centrifugal force allows for smaller risers that improve yield, lower cleaning room time since attachments are smaller, simpler gating design, more quantifiable solidification modeling, etc.
The controlled influx technique advantageously places the hot spot of the cooling metal at ingate so that any product shrinkage that occurs when the metal finally solidifies will occur at the ingate, and thus in the sprue and/or riser to be removed.

In times of war, a strict curfew makes sense.
|63 percent black Baltimore is working to enacting a year-around curfew for 'youths'; as an FYI, the Baltimore City Public School system (with a yearly budget of 1.32 billion) is 83.8 percent black
In a 63 percent black city, with a public school system 83.8 percent black, a strict curfew is the only to maintain some semblance of law and order. [Baltimore City May Impose New Curfew For Teens, CBS Baltimore, 5-12-14]:
Cracking down on curfews. Baltimore City may soon impose a tough new curfew for teens. City leaders say they want to keep kids off the streets but opponents say the new restrictions may be unconstitutional.
In a preliminary vote, the city council approved a bill that could make Baltimore's curfew laws among some of the strictest in the country.
Last February, dozens of teens tear through the 7-Eleven in upper Fells Point. Now city leaders are trying to stop behavior like this.
"We have to look for ways to support kids in need, vulnerable children. One way we identify those kids are the ones that are out unsupervised," said Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
The city council is considering expanding the curfew so children under the age of 14 would need to be home by 9 p.m. year round. Fourteen and 16-year-olds would have a curfew of 10 p.m. on weeknights during the school year and 11 p.m. on weekends. There would also be a daytime curfew during school hours.
But opponents say the curfew expansion bill is equivalent to putting the kids on house arrest, which could create more problems than it solves.
"If adopted, it would make Baltimore's daytime and evening curfews one of the most extreme curfews in the country," said Sonia Kumar, ACLU Maryland.
Kumar sent a letter to the council saying enforcement of the curfew expansion encourages unnecessary police stops for young people.
"I can't look at you and say, `You're over 14; you're under 14; you're 15.' And moreover, I can't look at you and know whether you are on your way home from school," she said.
But Police Commissioner Anthony Batts says he believes it's enforceable.
"I think it's fairly easy to see the difference in a 14-year-old, 13-year-old, 12-year-old," he said. "And if this keeps them safe, I think it's a positive."
The curfew expansion will be up for a final vote in June.
The mayor plans to open year round connection centers, providing resources for those who violate curfew.
Under the proposal, if a child is caught violating curfew, the family can attend counseling to have that citation wiped off their record. More than one citation could result in a hefty fine.People are so quick to blame the absence of a father in a black child's life for their negative behavior, immediately absolving the black (white or Hispanic) mother from the equation.
No one is forcing women to bear the children of black men, but the declining quality of life in Baltimore is the visible, infected scar - in the form of blight, boarded up houses, and plexiglas - of our refusal to the consequences of black bastardy.
With an operating budget of $1.32 billion, the Baltimore City Public School system operates as a daytime (tax-funded) daycare center for the adult black population to send their spawn.
Even better, 84.5 percent of the 84730 K-12 student population (of which 83.8 is black) qualifies as low income, meaning almost 9 of every 10 students is eligible for Free or Reduced-Price Meals. Here's what the Baltimore City Public Schools CEO sent out last year to the parents of a system that is 83.8 percent black:
Dear Baltimore City Public Schools Families,
Last year, you made a huge difference for our kids.
The time you took to complete the Free and Reduced Price Meals application for your family resulted in more of our students eating nutritious meals in school. It also generated more than $40 million in new state funding for our schools this school year.
City Schools receives approximately $5,000 from the state for every student who is eligible for Free and Reduced Price Meals—money that goes straight into our General Fund and funds our 198 schools. Because many more of you completed the application, nearly 10,000 students were newly identified as eligible for free or reduced price school meals last year. This allowed City Schools to receive $43 million in new state funding and avoid the budget cuts sustained by most local government agencies this year. School funding for 2010-11 remains stable
as a result.
Because of you, we can ensure that more of our students eat well and receive more of the resources they deserve.
What's even better than a free lunch? How about Baltimore's "Breakfast Club" promotion, which gives all 84730 students enrolled in Baltimore City Public Schools a free breakfast:
School breakfast is free for all City Schools students. This no-cost breakfast is called the Breakfast Club, and students join it by arriving to school on time and eating breakfast.In 2014, NASA had an operating budget of $17.6 billion.
We can't even send astronauts into space anymore, with NASA forced to hitch a ride into low-orbit via the Russians, but we can give black kids free breakfast and lunch in Baltimore.
But once the
This is America in 2014.
No war is being waged.
Just a city overwhelmed by the natural tendencies of black people, with the growing black population in Baltimore regressing civilization to the black mean.

Largo's playoff appearance last year was short on games. The Packers were bounced from the Class 6A region quarterfinals by Armwood.
This year, Largo wants its playoff-type experience to last more than a week.
Try the entire season.
Most of the county football schedules were finished on Wednesday. Largo has been sure to mark their calendars. Playoff teams from a year ago are on tap the opening week.
And pretty much every week after.
The schedule, which coach Rick Rodriguez fashioned to provide few automatic victories this season, will be a bear. The Packers have five games against teams that made the playoffs from last season. That doesn't include a regular-season finale against Countryside, which would have made the playoffs if it did not have to forfeit games because of an ineligible player.
And it could get tougher.
Largo joined Countryside and Lakewood as the three county public school teams that have two open dates to fill. Each is allowed to schedule games against non-county opponents. Rodriguez said he is trying to fill those dates with games against Miami Jackson and possibly Bradenton Manatee. Rodriguez said he initially had a game scheduled against Pasco but was unable to pull it together.
The Packers will open the season with Northeast. There also are games against Lakewood, East Lake, Venice and Osceola.
Rodriguez made things tough by design because by the end of the year, his players will be ready for anything.
"These are the kind of games that will make us better," Rodriguez said.
Last season Largo waltzed through the regular season, going undefeated and beating each county opponent on its schedule by at least four touchdowns. Most of the games were so lopsided the Packers sat their starters midway through the third quarter.
Rodriguez said the lack of challenging games down the stretch hurt Largo in its opening-round playoff loss to Armwood.
Largo is in the same region as Armwood, as well as Hillsborough and Robinson.
"We need to be ready if we're going to play those teams and beat them in the playoffs," Rodriguez said. "We need to schedule as many games against strong teams as we can."
Other key games include a season opener between former district rivals East Lake and Palm Harbor University, which are now in different classifications. And season finale between Lakewood and Northeast will be played at Progress Energy Field for the third annual Mayor's Cup.

Are there any tutorials out there or samples of a simple CCS Dropdown Menu?
I recently built a simple menu bar which looks like a series of (horizontal) rectangles. When you hover over one, it turns color. And each rectangle is like a "tab" that leads to a section in my website.
So now I would like to expand, and have a submenu for each main menu item. For example, I have an item "SHIRTS" and I would like a vertical dropdown that displays:
I want to steer clear of JavaScript since I don't know it, and away from CSS3 since I need to be backwards compatible to IE6.
No fancy effects. Just a simple solid color, rectangular drop-down menu like you would find in most applications you use on your computer.
Are there any tutorials out there or samples of a simple CCS Dropdown Menu?Hi,Here is a couple of very simple examples using fixed widths that show the basic concept.
(view page source)Simple Dropdown #1Simple Dropdown #2
since I need to be backwards compatible to IE6.For IE6 support you will need to use the sfhover script since IE6 only supports :hover on anchors.
A typical suckerfish dropdown uses li:hover to trigger the dropdown and that is where IE6 needs help. The script only needs to be feed to IE6.
See the article at html dog for the basic setuphttp://htmldog.com/articles/suckerfish/dropdowns/

[tags]atheist, atheism[/tags]
Ouch. I'm just glad nobody was hurt.
They broke Jesus!
Looks like somebody lost their head…. 😀
oh my god they killed a sculpture!
Didn't you catch God's finger pushing the handle off the guy's shoulder?
My guess is that it's a statue of Mary that whatever Catholic church that is, is trying to put into place. The sisters appear to be members of the Dominican orders who worship Mary in particular,.
A poster on another blog called it, "No Statues for Old Men."
Freakin' awesome!
Not sure, but there have been plenty of decapitated saints throughout history.
It's not a statue of Mary. It's a statue of some man or angel.
The reaction of the crowd is insane. I swear I can hear people crying.
Yea I love the reaction of the crowd. It's amazing how much importance religious people put into such meaningless things.
I was just upset that a piece of art got broken…. no matter what it represents.
That settles the idolatry question…
who the hell carries a statue like that?
Jeff, that's not even art to begin with; it's kitsch!!! Bloody meaningless kitsch!!
I actually LOLed.
I am glad nobody got hurt though.
It is a man in gold armor. For some reason St. John (of the Gospel fame) is often depicted wearing armor. The thing in his hand looks like a feather, so could be a quill pen for writing the gospel. I'm guessing it's St. John the Evangelist.
Health and Safety want a word. Are those men trained to move statues? Where are their hard hats? Why wasn't the statue properly secured and packed for transportation? I don't believe that they're wearing high visibility jackets. The crowd hasn't been partitioned away from the hazard to avoid injury. They aren't wearing gloves, there's no matting on the floor and the room is badly lit. *sucking teeth noise* There's bound to be an accident sooner or later.
Have them call me. I'll make them a good copy for a reasonable price in light and strong fiberglass bolted to a super-light palanquin. Those bearers look pretty old, and as young people continue to drift away from the church the faithful doing the lifting will be older and older.
They need to have a guy preceeding and waving orange flags like they do when the fork lift comes along at Home Depot.
A fork lift! LOL! I had promised myself I wouldn't laugh at this accident that upset so many people and could have injured some, but the vision of a forklift coming down the aisle going beeep beeep beeep beeep over the singing is just too much.
It's gotta be St. Drogo, patron saint of hernias. (Back in the 1960's, in the wake of Vatican II, the church ditched a whole bunch of saints, including St. Drogo, who really was the patron saint of hernias.)
As for "who carries a statue this way," haven't you folks ever been to Europe? Or to a place in the US with a large foreign-born Catholic population? Have you at least seen "Godfather, Part II?"
And the crowd's reaction may have had something to do with the fact that the statue landed right next to an elderly nun. Im sure she's going to be known around the convent as Sister Mary Shit-Your-Pants after this.
And you can just imgine everybody saying, "Thank GOD no one was hurt!"
Graven image? Maybe they are just following one of the 10 C in a conspiracy…

How Many Protons In Cesium?
The atomic number of Cesium is 55. The atomic number is actually the number of protons in an atom. So, the number of protons in cesium is 55.
Since the number of electrons is other equal to the number of protons so the number of electrons in cesium is also 55.
To find the number of neutrons in cesium, we subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. In this case, the atomic mass is 133.
No of neutrons = 133 - 55
= 78
Therefore the complete profile for cesium is:
Protons: 55
Electrons: 55
Neutrons: 78

INDIANAPOLIS -- It's hard to say who is the bigger tournament darling – the Butler team or Blue II, the English bulldog that is the team mascot.
At home games Blue greets the starters during introductions. He has done the same at the Final Four with a crowd of more than 70,000 watching at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Saturday night before tipoff against Michigan State, the starters pat Blue on the head as he barked up a storm.
"I think we'd be kind of lost if we came out and didn't go over there and pet him," senior Willie Veasley said. "All four years that's the only thing I've known. As soon as they announce me, run (past) the team and go pet him.
"It's like a ritual – something we have to do."
MORE: 'Sometimes he barks, sometimes he bites'
Butler had to get permission from the NCAA to have Blue on the court.
"We had to jump through hoops," Butler team spokesman Jim McGrath said. "It was constant negotiating with the NCAA."
Understandably, McGrath said, the NCAA typically doesn't allow live mascots on the court. "You wouldn't want a Gator (alligator) from Florida or a buffalo from Colorado on the court."
So how did Butler pull it off?
"We got special dispensation on that one because he's cute," McGrath said.

After finishing the funky bells, I needed something simple to sew. View C of this pattern has two pieces. TWO. Can't get more simple than that, right?
When this pattern first came out, I wasn't a fan because of the giant front drape. But after seeing several versions, I decided to try it.
Sorry for the single crummy photo. I was too tired to go through the motions with the tripod and camera settings. Why do we still observe Daylight Savings Time? Waaaaaaah!
On with the review...
Fabric & Notions:
- 2 yards of purple rayon Lycra knit
- sewing machine for pleats
- serger and coverstitch machines for seams and hems
Instructions: The first thing you're instructed to do is finish the edge of the front drape. Knits don't ravel and this step is really unnecessary. I knew this and tried to finish the edge anyway. Bad idea. I serged about six inches and stopped because the fabric was getting chewed up in the worst way. I picked the stitches and left the edge raw. Sanity? Check.
Construction: Easy peasy. Sew pleats. Sew CF. Sew sides. Sew shoulders. Burrito thing. Hem.
Wear Factor: It's great to hide my affinity for most things chocolate (no chocolate cake/ice cream..bleh). The only thing I don't like is the fullness in the back. I tried to add some shaping to the side seams, but it didn't work. I think this is just how the top is designed. The only thing I found a bit annoying is that the stitched CF sometimes falls to the outside - if that makes any sense. I found myself adjusting it constantly. Score: 7/10
Conclusion: I'll probably make one more - maybe in a print. This is a pretty distinctive style and I think one or two is enough for me.
Funky Bells Update
I wore the funky bells skating on Friday. When I asked my skate buddy (who knows that I sew) what he thought about the jeans, he grabbed a "bell", wrapped it tightly around my ankle, and said, "Much better." Bwahahaha! What does he know?!
For the most part, the jeans survived the 'roll test.' After prolonged wear and movement, I could feel that the front crotch length was way too long. If I make another pair of pants from this pattern, I definitely have to make an adjustment.

J.C. Penney ad apologizes to shoppers
J.C. Penney is sorry and wants your business back.
That's the gist of its latest ad, which the mid-priced department-store put on its YouTube and Facebook pages.
"Recently J.C. Penney changed," a voiceover states. "Some changes you liked, and some you didn't. But what matters with mistakes is what we learn. We learned a very simple thing, to listen to you."
The Plano, Texas-based company last month fired its CEO, Ron Johnson, after 17 months on the job and rehired his predecessor, Mike Ullman.
Johnson's changes, which included getting rid of sales, backfired and caused sales to plummet.
The ad acknowledges the missteps and asks customers to return to its stores.

Until this rise of the machines, trading had largely been a parochial business.
Why would they push for a solution unless they are pushing a parochial interest?
My bias is that Congress tends to be parochial, irresponsible, and self-interested.
What we are is kind of parochial and not all that well dressed, but these are not actually crimes against manners.
I love my adopted hometown, but let's be honest: it's parochial, bourgeois, and somewhat lacking in world-class amenities.
Even Ruddiman was brought up at the parish school, and was, moreover, for some time a parochial teacher.
The average incomes of the parochial clergy, meanwhile, were small.
Inside the walls of Manila there is only one Spanish parochial church, namely, the cathedral.

In the parochial schools, even from St. Dunstan's time, children of the lower orders were taught grammar and church music.

This thesis is concerned with Electrical Impedance Tomogaphy (EIT), a medical imaging technique in which pictures of the electrical conductivity distribution of the body are formed from current and voltage data taken on the body surface. The focus of the thesis is on the mathematical aspects of reconstructing the conductivity image from the measured data (the reconstruction problem). The reconstruction problem is particularly difficult and in this thesis it is investigated analytically and numerically. The aim of this investigation is to understand why the problem is difficult and to find numerical solution methods which respect the difficulties encountered. The analytical investigation of this non-linear inverse problem for an elliptic partial differential equation shows that while the forward mapping is analytic the inverse mapping is discontinuous. A rigorous treatment of the linearisation of the problem is given, including proofs of forms of linearisation assumed by previous authors. It is shown that the derivative of the forward problem is compact. Numerical calculations of the singular value decomposition (SVD) are given including plots of singular values and images of the singular functions. The SVD is used to settle a controversy concerning current drive patterns. Reconstruction algorithms are investigated and use of Regularised Newton methods is suggested. A formula for the second derivative of the forward mapping is derived which proves too computationally expensive to calculate. Use of Tychonov regularisation as well as filtered SVD and iterative methods are discussed. The similarities, and differences, between EIT and X-Ray Computed Tomography (X-Ray CT) are illuminated. This leads to an explanation of methods used by other authors for EIT reconstuction based on X-Ray CT. Details of the author's own implementation of a regularised Newton method are given. Finally the idea of adaptive current patterns is investigated. An algorithm is given for the experimental determination of optimal current patterns and the integration of this technique with regularised Newton methods is explored. Promising numerical results from this technique are given. The thesis concludes with a discussion of some outstanding problems in EIT and points to possible routes for their solution. An appendix gives brief details of the design and development of the Oxford Polytechnic Adaptive Current Tomograph.

As we get closer and closer to Ricky Rubio's return to the court, Foot Locker has launched a new ad featuring the Pups Boy Wonder. Personally, I think the ad is hysterical but I'm admittedly terribly bias towards anything Rubio is involved with.
It is pure genius when they cut to the backyard and Rubio "kinda sorta" screams while flexing his muscles. I can't imagine how many parody videos that two second clip is going to be a part of for years. In fact, I nominate that little clip to be used at the start of pregame introductions at the Target Center – at the very least, the first time Ricky is suiting up for the game. Agree or disagree?
There were several comments about the ad and it not being a good idea for Ricky to be doing the fake wrestling skit while rehabilitating his knee. I couldn't tell if that was oozing with sarcasm or just negativity. If it was the latter, please loosen up people. Please, for the good of this country. (Steps off pedestal)
Hope to see Ricky in a few more commercials in the near future as the rest of the basketball world is able to take notice of the highlight reel he's capable of putting in every time he steps on the court. We'll just stand by and count the days until his return.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/8/2011 (2164 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams missed Monday's practice with a foot injury and the team has sent him to see a specialist to help determine the severity of his condition.
Williams wore a protective sleeve on his right leg and said he was just resting. Coach Leslie Frazier had a different take.
"The fact that he's had trouble pushing off lets us know that it's more serious than we thought originally," Frazier said.
Williams played in the preseason game on Saturday in Seattle. He said he came to training camp in the "best shape of his life," save for "a few bumps and bruises." But he didn't acknowledge being hurt during a brief interview after practice, and Frazier said it was too soon to tell whether Williams has a serious injury.
"We really need him to come along. He really struggled in the snaps he had on Saturday with that foot," Frazier said.
Williams might not be able to play right away when the regular season starts anyway. His four-game suspension — issued three years ago for testing positive for a banned weight-loss drug — is still pending with the NFL. Neither he nor Frazier said Monday they've been given any indication about the status of that penalty, with the opener less than three weeks away.
"What have y'all heard? I mean, goodness, you'd think you'd hear something by now," Williams said.
Said Frazier, laughing: "I don't want to hear anything. If I hear something in 2020, that'll be fine with me."
Frazier wasn't laughing when he talked about offensive lineman Scott Kooistra, who was placed on injured reserve because of a "very significant" neck injury suffered against the Seahawks. Kooistra was still in Seattle for treatment and examination. He was getting some time at right guard in training camp, where Anthony Herrera is returning from knee surgery.
Kooistra was pulling on a play and jammed his neck when he made his block. He wasn't able to move it left or right, Frazier said.
"He was a guy who looked like he might be able to help us," Frazier said of the eight-year veteran, who was signed as a free agent.
Frazier said he wasn't sure if Herrera would be ready to start this Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys in the pre-season home opener. If not, Ryan Cook or possibly Chris DeGeare will play right guard with the first team.
The Vikings filled Kooistra's roster spot by signing defensive end Stylez White, a former Minnesota standout who played for the Gophers with the first name Greg. He totalled 24 sacks over the last four seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Vikings did have some positive developments on their injury situation. Tight end Visanthe Shiancoe (hamstring), wide receiver Percy Harvin (ribs) and wide receiver Greg Camarillo (groin) all returned to practice Monday after sitting out last week.
"I think it'll be great for us just to develop some continuity. We've had some moments in practice where they've all been together but to finally get them together in a game, where we have our full complement, that's a good thing for our football team," Frazier said.
Running back Toby Gerhart had soreness in his Achilles tendon and his ankle, so he was held out of the light practice on Monday.

A tough week in Matthew Elliott's coaching career finished with a smile of relief after he watched the Warriors bounce back from humiliation to beat Newcastle 28-12.
The victory in Auckland on Saturday came eight days after the biggest defeat in the club's history when they were thrashed 62-6 by Penrith.
Elliott pointed to a lift in attitude and application as the foundation for the Warriors' third win of the season, which took them off the bottom of the NRL table.
"That's what I was most delighted about," he said.
"Obviously it's been a reasonably challenging week for the players and I'm just happy we get to finish in this fashion. We need to back it up now."
One of the features of the Warriors' performance was keeping the Knights scoreless in the second spell.
In the process, they reversed a trend of theirs this season of giving up late leads.
It still meant some familiar fears remained as the clocked ticked over 70 minutes with the Warriors holding a 22-12 advantage.
"If I told you I wasn't slightly anxious a bit, I would be lying," Elliott said.
"I thought the way we finished was a real credit to the boys."
Newcastle remain fifth despite the defeat, which was compounded by injuries to fullback Darius Boyd (ankle) and winger Akuila Uate (ribs) early in the second half.
At the time of the injuries, the Knights, with winger James McManus bagging two tries, were leading 12-10.
Coach Wayne Bennett said it was always going to be a battle for his team when two key players went off.
But Bennett wasn't surprised that the Warriors were able to produce such a huge form turnaround.
Other clubs had been able to bounce back from big losses, including Canterbury-Bankstown and the Wests Tigers this weekend.
"I continually say this competition is that close with the quality of players that every team has got," Bennett said.
"That's what the salary cap has done. It's brought the ability of the players within the teams really close.
"It's not as hard as it used to be in the old days to bounce back."
With Boyd and Uate injured, the Warriors hit the front when a short ball from hooker Nathan Friend put prop Steve Rapira over.
Skipper Simon Mannering, moved to centre to shore up an area the Knights had been targeting, then scored a converted try to make it a 10-point game.
The Warriors sealed victory eight minutes from time when a Shaun Johnson pass put lock Elijah Taylor into a hole for his side's fifth try.
Earlier, the Warriors made a flying start in front of 9257 fans thanks to back-to-back penalties which led to a try to winger Manu Vatuvei.
In a seesawing first half, McManus replied for Newcastle, hauling in a pinpoint Jarrod Mullen kick.
Five-eighth Thomas Leuluai put the home side back in front by diving over a pile of bodies to dot down, but McManus's second touchdown had the Knights ahead at half-time.

Reviews for Banana Cranberry Muffins
Average Rating
"I made these muffins tonight and they are delicious. Likely the best muffins I've ever made. Tonight's batch made 17 muffins because I didn't want the 14 running over the tins. I'm making another batch tomorrow and will only make 14. My friends all need to try these! Best recipe I've found to use up bananas and the cranberry tartness is wonderful. Bravo!"
"Great recipe. I modified as I always find muffins to sweet. I didn't cook the cranberries just added them in as is and used 1/2 instead of 2/3 cup sugar in the batter. Also used butter instead of shortening. They were perfect."
"very good recipe. will make again"
"These muffins are excellent. I left the nuts out. Made them into mini muffins. I will take some to a women's meeting where we each bring a snack to share."
"Yummy! I followed the recipe exactly but left out the nuts. Flavors play well together!"
"These muffins were tasty. I omitted the nuts, and saved the cranberry syrup drained from cranberries to make cranberry lemonade!"
"Great recipe! Followed the recipe exactly and these are the best muffins I have ever made! Simply delicious!"
"Yum! Love these muffins. I only had one egg so I used that and threw in an extra banana. Also used craisins because I didn't have fresh or frozen cranberries. Still turned out amazing!"
"Great recipe! I like to make healthier adjustments so I modified it by: a) replacing the 2/3 cups of sugar with splenda; b) adding 1/4 cup of oats; c) using 1 cup whole wheat flour and 3/4 cup all purpose flour; d) replacing 1/3 cup shortening w/ 1/6 cup of butter and a little more than 1/6 cup of unsweetened apple sauce; e) take away the walnuts. I baked it for about 20 - 21 minutes."
"Really good! Neither the banana or cranberry dominated the recipe, they worked well together! Thank you for sharing!!"
"WOW, these are yum-dilli-iscious! Very tender and flavorful. We added the walnuts and it was a nice counter-flavor in there...nutty, sweet banana and sweet-tart cranberry. Nice pace change for a muffin."
"I loved these muffins. They were so yummy, and a delight to use the fresh/frozen cranberries! The leftover drained juices was great for using in all kinds of recipes. Thanks so much for this recipe. Now in my stack of favourites!"
"I made these muffins a while back for co-workers. I doubled the recipe but only used 1 bag of cranberries with 1-cup sugar & 1-cup water when simmering the cranberries. I also substituted 1/3 cup shortening plus 1/3 cup butter for the 2/3 cup shortening called for when doubled (Half shortening and half butter in any recipe that calls only for shortening usually tastes much better). I also substituted slivered almonds in place of the walnuts. These muffins were great! I have made them and have recommended the recipe several times since then. Thank You Gretchen for sharing this great recipe..."
"I needed a new recipe to try, I was tired of the old ones"
"Delicious and a hit with my family, especially with my picky daughter. Preparing berries in the above method reduced their bitterness and improved taste. And the strained leftover cranberry liquid can be used in seltzer, jello, soda, syrup, etc."
