On "Flight 93" RIPI saw "Flight 93" on A&E Saturday night (this is not the "United 93" now playing in the theaters), and the hour lead in interviews of those whose loved ones were murdered by the terrorists destruction of the WCT Towers. There is a time for the pen and a time for emoting hot and focused. The people aboard United flight 93 who saved either the capital building or White House from obliteration, and the firemen, policemen, and the unknown men and women who tried to save the lives of those trapped in the upper floors of the towers, only... ... more

Middle East UpdateThe face of the war on terror must include Israel, which some, including the MSM, have not done in the past. Israel is in fact a crucial part of this global war on terror. Caroline B. Glick has another excellent article in Jewish World Review. Here's a taste: The face of the enemy has changed. If in the past it was possible to say that the war being waged against Israel was unique and distinct from the global jihad, after the events of the past week, it is no longer possible to credibly make such a claim. Four events that... ... more

Iran's Secret PlanEight fundamentalist Islamist organizations have received large sums of money in the last month from the Iranian intelligence services, as part of a project to strike U.S military and economic installations across the Middle East Asharq Al-Awsat has learned. The plan, which also includes the carrying out of suicide operations targeting US and British interests in the region, as well as their Arab and Muslim allies, in case Iran is attacked, was drawn up by a number of experts guerilla warfare and terrorist operations, and was revealed by a senior source in the Iranian armed forces' joint chief of staff... ... more

If you have been living in a cave and don't know, the movie United 93 is the story of the brave passengers who grounded the plane to save it's target, either the White House or the Capitol. I expected the movie to be slanted, as most Hollywood movies are. But I was wrong. It was amazing. It was factual.

"The West cannot fight without Israel" by Jose Maria AznarIf we trace the line between the West and the rest, Israel is on the same side as Europe, the U.S., Japan, and Australia. We defend the same values against the same enemies. Now it is imperative to defend our values and way of life against a new threat: Islamic extremism and terrorism. The new mission of NATO should be clear: to combat jihadism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. If the Allies want to prevail collectively over the gathering threats, NATO must refocus itself on fighting terror, the major threat today. continues here... ... more

Update And Audio On the Blue Book of FreedomIn March I wrote a blog on my just completed The Blue Book Of Freedom, which I wrote to get the word out about the incredible virtues and moral goods of democratic freedom. I purposely kept it short (about 80 pages), on message, and factual. It is a declaration of war on thug regimes, and I envision the book as something like Mao's Red Book. People are encouraged to wave it vigorously in front of the North Korea, Sudan, and Iran embassies shouting, "Long live freedom. Down with thug regimes." Even, "We will bury you."

These memoirs get away from the cold abstractions of scholarly and journalistic books on China, and their sterile analyses and statistics.

Speaking in Damascus, Meshal attacked Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas after the latter had reportedly blocked Hamas bid to set up a new security force. Meshal vowed, "The military-security coup supported by Zionists and Americans will not happen." He reaffirmed Hamas' position regarding Israel. "We will not recognize Israel," he said.

Moving Towards SanctionsDiplomacy. Sanctions. Military action. These are the three steps that the international community will be required to take against Iran, if Ahmadinejad does not stop the race towards political suicide. As diplomacy has already failed, sanctions will be soon imposed on the Iranian regime before the last and final step. We are going to discuss here the social, political and economical implications of such a measure. If the United Nations Security Council imposes sanctions on Iran, domestic support for Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad will wane, according to ALEX VATANKA, Eurasia editor for Jane's Information Group.

Pakistan takes out another al-Qaeda (and Pakistan's view of DNA)Abu Marwan al-Suri, a Saudi Arabian who reportedly escaped a US air strike in January, has been killed by Pakistani security forces today. Pakistan is taking out al-Qaeda one by one, hopefully getting closer to Osama bin Laden. Marwan wasn't hiding in a cave somewhere, he was riding around in a mini-bus. Pakistani security forces stopped the bus to check the occupants, when Marwan opened fire on them, killing one and injuring another. I have to give credit to the Pakistanis. They are under a lot of pressure from all sides and yet they continue to search for the enemy. ... ... more

Colleague comments on it below: Regarding the survey on promoting democracy, one interesting finding was the fairly straightforward view (point 1) that most Americans don't favor "promoting democracy with military force" -- of course not! Americans are so imbued with the democratic culture of bargaining, negotiating, and compromise, that reverting to the use of force for almost any purpose except clear self-defense is anathema. This meshes with the view that going to war wasn't a good enough reason to do the Iraq... ... more

Iran and Palestinian Islamic JihadOf all the Palestinian terrorist organizations, the PIJ (Palestinian Islamic Jihad) is the one with the closest ties to Iran and which receives more Iranian aid, especially financial, than any other. For Iran (and for other countries which support international terror), money is one of the most important tools for operating terrorist infrastructures, in this case in the PA-administered territories as well as for encouraging the activities of various Palestinian terrorist organizations. According both to captured PA documents and the statements of terrorists arrested and interrogated, the terrorist organizations operating with Iranian support, that is, the PIJ, Hamas and Hezbollah,... ... more

'Ax-AOL', as it is being called, hopes to apply economic pressure on the parent company by boycotting AOL. Why AOL? Because Lou Dobbs is the largest money-maker for CNN, it is unlikely that CNN would elect to fire Dobbs; thus, top-down pressure from Time-Warner-AOL is being sought as a means to pressure CNN to let Dobbs go.

Promoting Democracy -- From Rhetoric to RealityFrom Pro Forma: One of the most important steps in transforming something -- such as "promote democracy" from the area of theory-idea-normative to the arena of practice-structure/institution-description -- is to actually change the institutions. This is an important lesson the commies certainly understood; perhaps Gramsci's description of "marching through the institutions" is most illustrative. The lesson is one Democrats understand, and implement quite well in American politics: party loyalty is important, and once in power, they -- for the most part -- adhere to "the party line" and end up governing.

The primary criticism was that our analysts were "too wedded to their assumptions" and that our tradecraft -- the way we analyze a... ... more

Populists Beware Of Immigration Reform?
No matter how you cut it, those that cross our borders illegally are criminals, and the fact that the U.S. government has failed to protect our borders and has also failed to enforce the enforcement of our laws is itself also criminal. To further fail to enforce the laws that have been criminally ignored is encouraging criminal behavior.... more

Thucydides, Aquinas and the GWOTThere was a fascinating symposium on the "Future of War" recently in the pages of "Historically Speaking, the Bulletin of The Historical Society," with some important lessons to be heeded in the GWOT. As Thucydides argued, people go to war for one, or some combination of, three reasons: fear, honor, and interest. He is largely correct. However, a proper understanding of our actual human nature compels us to refine the Thucydidean formula to conform to what we have described in past posts as the three motors of human action: material interest (survival and growth, source of fear), social interest (order... ... more

Churches are being destroyed in PakistanWhen diplomacy equals lunacy. Multan (Pakistan): "Christians on Sunday protested against the desecration of the Holy Bible and arson attacks on their places of worship in various parts of the country, terming the incidents 'religious terrorism'." Special services were held for those who had died in various incidents of violence against minorities. "It is religious terrorism to set our church (in Mian Channu) ablaze during the period when we (Christians) fast. It is an attack on our religion and belief.

How To Keep The Peace--Understand PowerIt's maxim not to be despised 'Though peace be made, yet its interest that keeps the peace. ----Cromwell. Speech, September 4, 1654 Born out of conflict, the labor of mutual adjustments to change, peace is a new social contract. Its spine is a balance of powers; its organs, expectations. But peace eventually ages and, overcome by change, dies as it entered this world: in conflict. And of its life, cooperative and productive, its offspring, experience, will remain. Thus the question: how to assure peace a long and healthy life, and to minimize the burden of its inevitable passing. The Peacekeeping... ... more

Project DescriptionThe design of rolled aluminum and aluminum can recycling giant Novelis' new Global Research & Technology Center intended to give customers a close look at the company's world-class R&D, engineering and manufacturing expertise, drive collaboration with customers, and showcase innovative use of Novelis' materials.
The 160,000-square-foot facility, located less than 25 miles from Novelis' Atlanta corporate headquarters, was previously office and warehouse space for a chemical manufacturer. Architecture firm Lord, Aeck & Sargent (LAS) designed a new public entry, retrofitted the office space, and built out the empty warehouse space to create a wide variety of materials development and testing laboratories along with a 30-foot-tall high-bay space housing a 16,000-square-foot pilot beverage can production line, an industrial lab with two overhead cranes, and warehouse space. The building is one story with a mechanical mezzanine in the high-bay area to optimize the use of space. Approximately 35,000 square feet remains for future expansion.
Novelis asked LAS to design a facility that emphasized cohesiveness with the company's corporate headquarters in Atlanta, so LAS created a modern, open, light-filled work environment with similar finishes, and we took the design a step beyond. The firm also created numerous ways to incorporate the company's aluminum into the design.
The building's public entrance, for example, formerly pedimented precast concrete and glass, has been completely reimagined and features a 38-foot-long cantilevered aluminum-clad steel and glass canopy and updated landscaping that reaches out to welcome visitors. The design incorporates a dramatic structure and a playful use of scuppers and rain chains that direct water into the new planted areas that frame the arrival sequence. The modern entry that sets the tone for the site and the innovation we expect to create inside.
Inside, visitors enter a light-filled lobby that leads into a showcase area for Novelis materials including an all aluminum car body and a global map made of recycled aluminum cans. Both areas are flanked by offices as well as meeting spaces that will bring together Novelis' top worldwide metallurgists, materials scientists, engineers and technologists to collaborate with customers from around the globe.
Beyond that are the laboratories, designed to address a Novelis goal for flexibility. Lab furniture can be reconfigured economically to accommodate anticipated ongoing changes in lab use and equipment.
The labs are configured along a 480-foot-long double-loaded corridor.
In order to engage visitors by showcasing Novelis R&D and also provide relief from what otherwise would have been a long, monotonous corridor, LAS added several design features. Among them are windows that look into the labs and aluminum panels at the lab entryways to provide wall texture and give another nod to Novelis material.
Other corridor design features are aimed at giving texture to the ceiling. They include a reveal around the ceiling and large round specialty lights – located at the laboratory entries – meant to evoke the aluminum can shape.

The 'Glee' star gets a rock 'n' roll makeover and does her best impersonation of Brandon Flowers to pay tribute to his band's previous clips.
The Killers debut a music video for their latest single "Just Another Girl". They recreate their past videos with Dianna Agron replacing Brandon Flowers. She dons a fake thick mustache as a reference to "All These Things I've Done", walks past a wedding scene similar to that of "When You Were Young", and rocks out with a skeleton as a tribute to "Bones".
The "Glee" actress channels her inner rocker in a feathered blazer, vest, bowtie and buttoned-up shirt, as well as sports a pompadour hairdo. "It was an 18hr work day yesterday, we powered through an impossible number of setups, had fun, & I think you're going to like what we did!" she gushed about the video shoot on Twitter last month.
"Just Another Girl" is one of two new songs in the band's recently-released greatest hits compilation "Direct Hits". The other new track in the CD is titled "Shot at the Night".

A Finnish penetration testing company has released a free tool it says can detect all variants of five major families of malicious software that steal online banking credentials.
The tool, called Debank, was built by Finnish penetration testing company Fitsec, which has used the tool to scan its customers' machines, said company founder Toni Koivunen.
[ Learn how to greatly reduce the threat of malicious attacks with InfoWorld's Insider Threat Deep Dive PDF special report. | Stay up to date on the latest security developments with InfoWorld's Security Central newsletter. ]
The tool works by scanning a computer's process memory, Koivunen said. Most malicious software these days is "packed," or compressed, before it is distributed. That can fool antivirus programs, since the malware can appear to be a different program each time it is repacked.
Koivunen said antivirus programs often use heuristics as an alternative way to detect malware aside from traditional signatures, but that method is not always as successful as a full memory sweep.
Debank looks at the program after it has been executed on a computer. Malware authors rarely change the core code of the program, which is what Debank analyzes.
Koivunen said Debank can detect nearly all variants of SpyEye, Zeus, CarBerp, Gozi, and Patcher, five well-known banking malware programs. The malware has to be running for Debank to detect it and the tool only works on computers running Windows, he said.
Debank was able to detect more than 200 variants of Patcher after FitSec found a part of its code common to all variants. FitSec has also tested it against hundreds of variants of SpyEye, a particularly advanced piece of code that operates as part of a botnet. It can harvest credentials for online accounts and also initiate transactions even while a person is logged into their account.
Fitsec decided to just give the tool away and has made it available for download on their blog. "We had no reason to start charging for it," Koivunen said. "Basically, we hate malware."

Is Your Toothache Killing You?
Just a few mere months ago, there was news that stuck many as very odd, but members of the ADA and the dental community just nodded somberly. The headlines discussed a man who had succumb to death that resulted from a mere toothache. Who would think a toothache could kill you? If you really wonder, just ask your dentist. In recent years, a lot has been learned about oral health and its connection to the rest of the body. The bacteria, which first appeared in the mouth, has been found in the arteries and brain of study participants. There have been definitive links found between cardiovascular health and that of the mouth. Knowing this, it is not horribly surprising to know that a person could meet his fate after a simple toothache.
The facts of the case make it even more understandable. Despite consistent recommendations of his dentist, the man failed to have the tooth removed. His bank account was suffering, according to the story that he told doctors. Keep in mind that a tooth extraction in Bastrop, Texas is considered a very affordable procedure, unlike braces, porcelain veneers, or implants that would understandably denied. There is also help to be found in affording such necessary procedures.
Facial swelling and severe headaches soon plagued the man, who still held off on having the recommended extraction. His poor choices continued when the emergency room physicians prescribed antibiotics and pain killers. With too little income to support the cost of both, he tossed the script for antibiotics aside and the infection continued to spread. Working its way into the blood, it eventually reached his brain, leading to cerebral abscess. That is a inflammation and a collection of infected cells in the brain. Healthy tissue builds up around it as an immune response, which builds pressure within the skull that can be life threatening. Had the man taken the prescribed antibiotics, the infection would have been cleared and the abscess would have healed. Instead it claimed his life.
If you are imagining this man to be elderly, beyond his prime, think again. The victim was in his twenties – too young to have gotten a real start in life and too old to plead ignorance. Unfortunately, his age group is among the most common to ignore signs of oral trouble. They often avoid the dentist, even in emergency situations, citing a lack of money as their reason. One must ask himself 'how much is your life worth?'
Bacteria is always present in the mouth, but the good variety can quickly be overtaken by the bad, which is why it is so essential to have regularly scheduled appointments with a local Bastrop dentist, such as Chad Byler, DDS, PA. Gum disease starts silently, but it can quickly ravish the oral tissue and even eat away at the bone that holds teeth in place. The beginning signs of trouble – known as Gingivitis – can be spotted by a trained dentist and stopped before they become a bigger problem.

Local fifth graders can tap MTEMCs Tree Wise program
Local school fifth grades can have a comprehensive tree care program delivered to their students beginning in late February.
Its a free service from Middle Tennessee Electric, and all it takes is a call to the cooperatives Community Relations Coordinator Cathy Mitchell.
Last year, we were able to visit 27 schools over a three-week period, Mithcell said.The curriculum includes classroom activities and discussions on how to transport, plant and care for trees. Students go home with a tree sapling to plant with their families as part of an after school project to let the children practice what they learned.
Through the program, MTEMC also stresses the importance of not planting trees under power lines.
Fifth-grade teachers in MTEMCs service area may contact Mitchell at 494-1065 to schedule their free program.

Cracow Region
Excursions in the vicinity of Cracow
The Wieliczka salt mine, a UNESCO World Heritage site, has been in operation since the Middle Ages. It has several tiers going down to 327 m below the surface and forms a labyrinth of corridors, chambers and galleries. For sightseers, there is a special 3.5 km route leading through an extraordinary fairytale world. Among Wieliczka's treasures are the unique Crystal Caves with their beautiful halite crystals, and a series of amazing chapels carved into the salt. The most famous are the Chapel of St. Anthony, the Chapel of the Holy Cross and the stunningly beautiful Chapel of St. Kinga decorated with salt sculptures and chandeliers made of salt crystals. The mine also has an exhibition of tools illustrating the development of mining technology over the centuries.
Auschwitz - Birkenau
Heritage List. Almost 1.5 million prisoners lost their lives in the camp, most of them Jews from Poland and Central Europe, as well as Poles. The Monument of the Martyrdom of Nations was erected here in memory of Holocaust victims. A tour of the camp includes the Auschwitz permanent exhibition, the primary camp set up by the Nazis in 1940, and the most important parts of Birkenau: the former camp area, barracks, the unloading ramp and ruins of gas chambers and crematoria.
Kalwaria Zebrzydowska - Wadowice
Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, also called the "Polish Jerusalem", is one of the most important places of pilgrimage in Poland. The small town situated in an attractive valley is famous for its monastery complex, which includes the Bernardine Fathers' Church and the pilgrimage park. Every year magnificent religious ceremonies are held here, which include colourful Passion plays and indulgence fairs and attract crowds of pilgrims from all over the country and abroad. The Calvary paths - a complex of sacred sites, chapels and little churches which blend into the natural landscape - are perfect for reflection and contemplation. The monastery complex at Kalwaria Zebrzydowska is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Wadowice, the birthplace of Karol Wojtyła, who became Pope John Paul II, is another popular place of international pilgrimage. The focal point of the town is the market square and the Parochial Church - the Virgin Mary's Offertory Minor Basilica. The font where Karol Wojtyła was baptized can be found in one of the naves. Nearby is the Pope's family home, now a museum with a display of mementoes, photographs and letters.
Pauline monastery on Jasna Góra
Częstochowa, the spiritual capital of Poland, attracts pilgrims and tourists from all over the world, who come to see the Pauline monastery on Jasna Góra. It is one of the most important places of the Marian cult in this part of Europe and houses the miraculous painting of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Child, the Black Madonna. The four gates of the monastery complex lead into the main courtyard. Steps going down lead to the Last Supper room, and upstairs you can see 14 bronze Stations of the Cross, John Paul II's Gate and the treasury which includes a collection of richly decorated liturgical vessels and vestments. The monastery complex also includes the Basilica of the Holy Cross and Nativity of Mary, one of Poland's most valuable examples of sacral architecture.
Ojców National Park - Pieskowa Skała
Ojców National Park lies in the Jura Cracowsko-Częstochowska upland. There are several hiking routes in the park, starting from the former Spa Park near the ruins of a castle built by King Kazimierz the Great. The diverse terrain includes several picturesque valleys. The longest of these is the Prądnik Valley, with its fascinating karst limestone scenery of rocky ravines, springs and caves. Among the park's greatest attractions are the amazingly-shaped rock formations created by erosion. The most famous of them is Hercules' Club - a 20 m high rock standing precariously on its narrow end. Ojców National Park is awaiting inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Pieskowa Skała boasts one of the most beautiful castles in Poland. This Gothic stronghold was built by King Kazimierz the Great on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Prądnik Valley. It was converted into a Renaissance residence in the 16th century. After further alterations in subsequent centuries, the castle was restored to its full Renaissance splendour after World War II. The interiors house a magnificent exhibition of sculptures, paintings, tapestries and furniture.
The Eagle's Nest trail
Taking its name from the almost inaccessible castles built on the steep limestone rocks, The Eagle's Nest trailis one of the most popular tourist destinations near Cracow. The ruins of these strongholds and watchtowers are relics of the defensive system created by Kazimierz the Great to protect borders, major trade routes and settlements. As the centuries passed, this invincible system of fortifications has gradually fallen into ruin. Today the picturesque ruins are one of the symbols of the Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska upland.
Jura Krakowsko-Częstochowska Upland
Bochnia - Nowy Wiśnicz
Though less famous than the mine in Wieliczka, the salt mine in Bochnia is Poland's oldest and a major tourist attraction in its own right. Salt was mined from the mid-13th century, but today mining no longer takes place. Instead the mine houses a spa offering inhalation treatments. A tourist route runs 200 m underground exhibiting old mining techniques, and a 350-metre-long corridor with rails along which wagons once ran leads to the Ważyn chamber with its special therapeutic microclimate. On a higher level of the mine, the beautiful Chapel of Saint Kinga features a pulpit and figures of saints carved in salt. Visitors can also take a ride on an underground train or slide down a 140-metre-long ramp which was once used for transporting salt - an unforgettable experience indeed!
Nowy Wiśnicz boasts the castle of the Kmita and Lubomirski families - one of Poland's most valuable, not to say beautiful, examples of early Baroque residential and defensive architecture. With its bright white walls, towers and annexes contrasting with its red roof, the castle is a breathtaking sight. The oldest part of the castle, for centuries an aristocratic residence, was built in the 14th century. Today the castle retains its early Baroque form with Renaissance additions. The interiors feature Baroque portals, window frames, stucco decorations and polychromes. The castle is surrounded by fortifications from the early 17th century.
Sucha Beskidzka - Zubrzyca Górna
The 600-year-Old Town of Sucha Beskidzka lies in a picturesque basin in the valleys of two rivers in the heart of the Beskid Mountains. The town's unique scenery and its Renaissance castle "Little Wawel", with its famous orangery, certainly make Sucha a place worth visiting. A special feature of this region is the numerous roadside shrines hidden among the trees. It's also worth visiting the Rzym inn, an historic wooden building notable for its regional architecture. The inn was built around the mid-18th century and hosted merchants as well as the local highland robbers. Today it is a café and restaurant specializing in regional cuisine.
The village of Zubrzyca Górna
The village of Zubrzyca Górna lies in the Beskid part of Polish Orawa - a beautiful and fascinating area. A mountain that stands out in the gently sloping range is Babia Góra (1,725 m above sea level), queen of the Beskid Wysoki Mountains. Zubrzyca is home to the Orawa Ethnographic Park, an open-air museum featuring the most valuable examples of historical architecture from the region.
Wygiełzów - Lipowiec
The Vistula Ethnographic Park in Wygiełzów presents the traditional folk culture of the region stretching west of Cracow. The open-air museum lies at the foot of Castle Hill, itself a beautiful beech-wood nature reserve. At the summit is Lipowiec, the ruined medieval castle of the bishops of Cracow. Farmsteads dot the undulating terrain, along with a church with a bell tower and other examples of local architecture, including an oil mill, smithy and watermill.
Pieniny mountains
The Pieniny Mountains, one of the most charming corners of Poland, are justly famous for their extraordinary scenery. The central part of the mountains makes up the Pieniny National Park, where rocky limestone ridges and steep slopes overgrown with forests rise above winding river valleys, overlooked by the peaks of Trzy Korony and Sokolica. The region's most popular tourist attraction is the raft trip down the Dunajec River gorge, which also forms the border with Slovakia - a truly memorable journey into the heart of the Pieniny Mountains. The route leads through the most picturesque parts of the national park. Narrow wooden dugouts tied together in fives to form rafts and steered by experienced raftsmen are the only means of travelling along the Pieniny gorge from the Polish side, as there is no road along the Dunajec.
Raft trip down the Dunajec River gorge
In Niedzica, you can admire one of the prettiest and best located castles in Poland. The stronghold, built in the 14th century and converted into the Renaissance style in the 16th century, was the seat of a distinguished family of Hungarian magnates. Apart from the courtyard and beautifully preserved rooms in the castle's upper floors, it's well worth climbing to the observation terrace to take in the view of the Pieniny Mountains, Zalew Czorsztyński reservoir and the nearby dam and the ruins of Czorsztyn castle. An interesting though still uncertain footnote to the castle's history is the "Inca Testament", which was discovered here and apparently reveals the secret of the Inca treasure lying at the bottom of Lake Titicaca in Peru.
Czorsztyn is famous for the historical ruins of a castle that once stood overlooking the River Dunajec. Czorsztyn castle was built in the 13th century as a border stronghold guarding the trade and diplomatic route linking Poland to Hungary.
Poland's winter capital, located at the foot of the Tatra Mountains, attracts visitors with its enchanting landscapes, original architecture and genuine Podhale highland folklore. Once a small mountain village, it grew to become a Mecca for artists and mountaineers and an important tourist, cultural and health centre. The town is the highest in Poland, and is a centre for winter sports, a base for hiking along the Tatra trails, as well as host to many folklore events. The cable car to Mt. Kasprowy Wierch and the funicular railway to Mt. Gubałówka, ski lifts and ski jumps, marked hiking trails leading through picturesque valleys and mountain pastures in the Unesco-Listed Tatra National Park - these are just some of the things that draw people to Zakopane. In the oldest part of the town, on Kościeliska street, there are many examples of historical wooden highland architecture. The famous main street, Krupówki, which is always teeming with life, is great for a stroll or a browse through the local craft shops. And don't leave until you've tried some of the speciality oscypek cheese. Numerous inns on the street offer original Podhale regional dishes.
Suggested routes:
A tour of Zakopane: Kościeliska street, the cemetery on Pęksowy Brzyzek, Krupówki street, and one of the options below:
- funicular ride to Mt. Gubałówka or cable car ride to Mt. Kasprowy Wierch
- hike along one of the mountain routes in the Tatra National Park
- trip to the emerald-green Morskie Oko, the largest lake in the Tatra Mountains

[display_podcast]What does the Bible say in regard to discussing Christianity with not just non-believers, but atheists?Most atheists become convinced of their stance toward God from an intellectual point of view. But remember- there are a lot of really bright, intelligent atheists; and there are a lot of really bright, intelligent Christians. The thing is that Biblical facts are true regardless of people's brainpower. 1 Corinthians 1:18-21 (Living Bible) says:18 I know very well h … [Read more...]

Senior Visit Day
Age: 18
Year: Freshman
From: Woodstock, MD
Major: Undeclared
Hobbies? I play piano, guitar, organ, and clarinet. I also like dancing, singing, talking, and laughing with friends.
What's your favorite class? Latin 201 with Dr. Clark. He takes a dead language and manages to give it more life than you would believe. The way he teaches us with energy, joy, and simplicity really keeps learning fun.
Do you play any sports? Yes, I am the goalie for the soccer team, and I play on the basketball team... I also plan on doing all the intramurals.
Do you participate in any drama or music related activities? Not currently, but I do plan on singing in the choir or possibly auditioning for a Christendom play before I graduate.
What is your favorite thing about Christendom? The excellent formation of body, mind, and soul. I am learning from excellent professors, receiving sound instruction in the Faith, and playing sports with great guys, excellent coaching, and healthy competition.
Why did you choose Christendom? I have two older sisters that came to Christendom, and I had the privilidge of visiting them occasionally during the school year. The exposure to the faithful community and wholesome atmosphere convinced me that Christendom was the place for me.
Plans after graduation? After graduation I see myself as a teacher, lawyer, FBI agent, pilot, musician, astronaut or possibly working as a salesman for Christendom.
Life on Tap
John Donovan explains the strategy of searching for a good career.
Outstanding Talent at Piano Night
This year the underclassmen were more strongly represented with five freshmen and seven sophomore performers, while Junior Steven Curtin and Senior Matthew Lancaster represented their classes.
"The performances were all outstanding," said Christendom Professor of History Anthony Sheehan. "The skill of the musicians, despite there being no music program at the college, was excellent."
Sophomores Elizabeth Sartor and Alex Kecskes both presented original compositions. Freshman John Rogers and Senior Matt Lancaster had self-arranged medleys. But original or not, the incredible talent of the room was undeniable; the full audience was testament to that.
"Christendom has many great performances to look forward to over the coming years," said Lancaster.
Chronicler Online Reporter and Sophomore Liz Sartor performs an original composition.
Western Movie Night
While observing that a large amount of the audience was male, Senior Katherine Sartor said with a smile that the film "was good, but it's definitely a guy's movie!"
Students enjoyed the movie, and are looking forward to a real western experience at the rescheduled Texas Western Night!
Open House
Gregorian Chant and Active Participation in the Mass
Senior and music minor Nathan Scott commented, "I thought it was really interesting what he said about how the entrance hymn doesn't give as much focus to the procession, because we are singing and are distracted, whereas if we have an introit chanted by a schola, we benefit a lot more from the beauty of the procession."
The talk was followed by questions and a brief reception. It was the first event of the Beato Fra Angelica Fine Art Series.
Mahrt directs the St. Ann Choir at Stanford.
Senior Visit Day
On Monday the Admissions office hosted it's first Senior Visit Day. Visiting students learned about Christendom's unique academic, spiritual, and cultural life from various presenters. They were also able to have lunch with faculty members and sit in on classes. The next Senior Visit Day is scheduled for Monday, October 12, 2009—Columbus Day. Find out more here.
Visitors enjoy lunch with Literature Professor Dr. Patrick Keats.
A student panel answered a wide array of questions: from sports to the spiritual life.
Admissions Director Tom McFadden explains Christedoms one-of-a-kind location in Rome—right next to the Vatican.
The Death of Lenin
"On January 20, 1924 Lenin died in his bed in agony and terror, his body racked by convulsions so violent that they flung it into the air," Carroll said. "Such was the death of Lenin, and the proof that God's vengeance on an evil soul can take place in this world as well as in the next. 'Vengeance is Mine,' says the Lord."

Temperaments and Treats
"I had heard some of it before, but not in that way," Freshman Lisa Vincente said. "It was a great talk—really interesting."
The girls appreciated the opportunity to learn not only more about themselves, but more about others too.
Dr. Flippen explains how you can know if you're Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic, or Phlegmatic.
The Grace to Seek Forgiveness
First is preparation, outlining our sins, but not looking too hard to outline the source of the sins. Second is contrition, and this is the part where we recognize "this is what I am." We also must remember at this part that God is giving us the grace to seek forgiveness. Third is the resolution: how, practically and concretely, can I strive not to sin? We must ask ourselves this and work out ways for our own situation. Fourth comes confession. In confession we must remember to be specific, but not in too much detail. Fifth is the exortation and penance: we must listen carefully to the confessor at this time.
"It is also a good idea to do the penance as soon as possible, immediately after confession if we can," explained Fr. Gee. "If you ever get a penance you absolutely cannot do, don't be afraid to ask for another penance."
Sixth is absolution: at this time the confessor says the prayer of absolution and asks God to grant us pardon and peace.
"Bonus time!" said Gee. "We're getting pardon and peace, the good old-fashioned shalom."
Finally, we do our penance and complete the sacrament of reconciliation.

Equestrian Program
The instructor, Tina Anderson, teaches more than just the basics. Last week, Junior Elise Anderson was working with keeping an uncooperative horse under control.
"It's a great way to relieve stress," said Sophomore Grace Bellow, "and it's also good exercise."
Not only are the lessons comprehensive, but they're affordable. "It's the cheapest you'll ever find for horseback lessons," exclaimed Sophomore Katie Gutschke.
The fun, benefits, and great price make this a wonderful program.

Sophomore Katie Gutschke leads her horse into a canter.

Why Wouldn't You Come to Christendom?
My answer is exactly the opposite: if you are a strong Catholic and committed to your Faith and want a solid education, and for icing on the cake you want to play varsity intercollegiate sports, why wouldn't you come to Christendom?
Some don't even play sports in college; they work hard and play all throughout high school and then go to a big university and have to stop playing these sports, which they worked hard at and thoroughly enjoyed for so long.
At Christendom we offer intercollegiate varsity sports for men and women, and opponents range from smaller Christian bible college to larger Division III schools, covering states from New York to North Carolina. Athletics, particularly intercollegiate varsity sports, offer such a great place to form friendships and build character and virtue, while enjoying a sport that an individual person loves. On top of that, it is a great place for evangelization and Christian sportsmanship to be shown, such as when our soccer teams huddle up at center field following each match and sing "Non Nobis Domine."
The bottom line is that here at Christendom, student-athletes compete in the sports they love, often against Division III talent, all the while receiving a great education in a Catholic environment that is second to none in its formation and building of friendships.
Intensive Italian and Santa Marinella
On Saturday, a group of us took a day trip to Santa Marinella, a beautiful coastal town on the Mediterranean Sea. After an hour's train ride, we arrived on the sandy beaches, which were warm, inviting, and much-appreciated after a week of studying Italian.
Sunday, the day of rest, definitely lives up to its name in Rome, as one is hard-pressed to find a store or restaurant that is open. Though, if there is one place to go on a Sunday afternoon after Mass, it is Old Bridge Gelateria, located right outside the Vatican walls. A big serving of gelato for a great price makes it well-loved by Christendom students.
Chillin' at the beach: Roman style.

Q: I am interested in applying for the upcoming Spring semester. What do I have to do, and when?
A: If someone wishes to enter Christendom in the Spring, they need to fill out our regular application and simply mark on it that they are interested in attending in Spring 2010. Both first-time freshmen and transfers are accepted at this time. For those who are transferring, we need to receive your college transcripts before we can send your application to our Admissions Committee.
Applications should be submitted prior to November 1, although I would recommend submitting it even earlier, if at all possible. The Spring 2010 semester begins on January 16. Normally, we admit about 15-20 students each Spring, and we should be able to admit about the same this upcoming Spring as well.
If someone is interested in applying for financial aid, the financial aid form (found on our website) must be completed and filled out in a timely fashion as well.
So, anyone interested in attending Christendom this Spring should fill out the application, fill in the financial aid form, and expect to hear from us near the beginning of December.

Goof: Nick finds the tape recorder, listens to where it's currently at, and then rewinds it, and plays it further back on the tape. While he is doing all of this you can see it's in his left hand, the hand closest to the camera (which is on an angle because his hand would have been blocking it). However, as soon as he listens to it, when the camera angle changes, if you watch the frames before it's in his left hand and then suddenly in his right hand, while he listens and starts walking around the room.
Goof: When Sara is pointing to the various phone records with her finger where she's standing, where her arms are and where she's supposed to be pointing is inconsistent. She would have to move unreasonably fast in order for the timing to match up.
Goof: When Kelly's heart stops Sofia proceeds to do CPR. However, in order for the CPR to be effective, Kelly would have to have been moved off the bed onto the ground or another hard surface in order for the chest to compress, she wouldn't have been able to compress her chest the correct depth.
Goof: Warrick wasn't wearing gloves when he picked up the screwdriver that Grissom said needed to be printed.
Sara: Freud would have a field day with this family.
Warrick: Dad loves his daughter, but mom only sees the daughter as competition.
Sara: And everyone wonders why Bianca can't meet a nice boy.
Warrick: Bianca eats nice boys for brunch.
Chelsea (about her and Ahren): Bianca came in and found us. I wish it never would have happened.
Warrick: What's that, getting busy with her boyfriend or getting caught?
Warrick: Guess who's paying Bianca's mortgage? A Mr. Harry Desmond.
Sara: Happy Harry? Gas n' Sip Harry Desmond?
Wendy: Who's your daddy?
Greg: No wonder she didn't work. He owns fifty Gas n' Sips in Vegas.
Sara: Oh, maybe Mr. Desmond is trying to protect the family fortune.
Wendy: Or the family jewels. I got the results back from all those sex stains on the sheets. Three donors: Ahren, Bianca and Chelsea.
Warrick: I guess they were having a little threesome.
Wendy: Yeah, I just really hope he was only doing one woman at a time. Chelsea is Bianca's mother.
Nick: What do you got?
Sofia: Well, I wasn't sure if I should call it in as a 419 or a 401a.
Catherine: Hit and run?
Sofia: You tell me. (they walk over to the car and see the victim is pinned up against the car and the wall)
Nick: Mm, I don't know. When you run, you usually take the car.
Sofia: The vic's Sylvia Mullins. Works in one of the offices upstairs. The security guard found her.
Catherine: Did you run the plates?
Sofia: That's why I went with the 419. RO's the vic.
Warrick (about the vic): It'd be kind of hard for one of those women to wrestle him down.
Grissom: Not if she walks softly and carried a big knife.
(After they arrest Kelly for killing Sylvia)
Kelly: You care why I did it?
Nick: It doesn't really matter now.
Kelly: She told me my dad didn't leave me anything; he never would have done that. My dad loved me.
Sofia: So you killed her?
Kelly: The ransom was her idea and when she didn't get the money she took it from me. (Kelly OD's on the pills she took before they arrived and she dies)
Nick: Hey, Grissom. You wanna talk to me?
Grissom: Yeah. Sit down. (pause) I heard that uh, Kelly Gordon may be a suspect in your murder case.
Nick: Yeah.
Grissom: Is that a problem?
Nick: No. No, it's not a problem. Hey, by the way I heard the tape. I did a voice comparison. Sylvia Mullins is the other voice on that tape. She's Walter Gordon's ex-business manager so I'm pretty sure she had something to do with my kidnapping.
Grissom: But now she's dead.
Nick: Yeah.
Grissom: So... it's over.
Nick: Yeah.
Grissom: Good.
Nick: Good.
Warrick: Every time this chick calls Tom, somebody gets shot.
Grissom: It's like thermite.
Sara: Thermite?
Grissom: When you combine two seemingly harmless elements, aluminum and rust, press them together, add heat, it creates an explosion so hot it'll burn through steel. Powerful but uncontrollable. It burns and burns until it burns itself out, finally consuming both elements.
Sara: I guess some people just shouldn't be together. (looks towards Grissom)
Brass: Tom Harper, come on down!
David: So, just find the bull with the bloody horn and you've got your killer.
Grissom: Well, in my experience I found that most threesomes end up being one too many... so, David, check and make sure that they didn't pull a Lorena Bobbitt. (David looks confused) Take a look. (David feels around and then pulls back sharply)
David: No, we're good! My man's all there.
Brass: You know, let's fill in the blank: if it walks like a stalker, talks like a stalker..
Tom Harper: I'm not a stalker!
Brass: Then what's this? Excellent service?
Justin Cole: So, why am I here?
Brass: Why? You're getting homesick from the train tracks behind Union Plaza already?
Nick (to Kelly Gordon): When you worked in the prison garage, did you learn how to fix cars or to steal them?
Warrick: Hodges.
Hodges: Your victim did not have GSR on his hands.
Warrick: Okay, what about metallic trace from the garage floor?
Hodges: Thank you, Hodges, for performing that incredibly elaborate test requiring copious concentration and an advanced degree.
Warrick: So you don't have any results from the metallic trace on the garage floor?
Hodges: But I will. That's the beauty of me.
Brass: So what are you on besides meth?
Chelsea: Not meth. Glass.
Brass: Uh-huh.
Chelsea: We did some coke at the club, had a couple of drinks. There was this guy that gave us these, uh, these blue pills, but I had to come home and lie down.
Brass: Ecstasy.
Chelsea: We only do this when we're ... when we're clubbing. I mean it's... it's just a hobby. It's not a habit. We have it under control.
Brass: Well the dead guy from the garage might beg to differ.
Warrick: He can be partying with two hot chicks and he was out here working on his bike at four in the morning?
Grissom: Maybe he wasn't invited.
Warrick: Who brings a gun to a knife fight?
Grissom: The winner?

Music Featured In This Episode:
I Like The Way- Bodyrockers
When Nick accesses the case files on the computer, the Sylvia Mullins case file was dated Jan 19 2006 - the same date as the episode premiered.
As Nick clicks into the file concerning his kidnapping, the file creation date was listed as May 19 2005 - the date the two-part Season 5 finale " Grave Danger (1) & (2)" originally aired.
Also, there's a note that Nick's file was last modified on Sept. 23 2005 - the day after the Season 5 premiere episode "Bodies in Motion"(when the Walter Gordon tape is analyzed).
Grissom tells David to check the body to see if the perp pulled a "Lorena Bobbitt." David Berman, the actor who plays David Phillips, was one of the doctors involved in the Bobbitt case.
Brass: Tom Harper, come on down!
This saying is from the game show The Price is Right. They say "You're the next contestant on The Price is Right. Come on Down!"
Warrick makes a couple of references to tweaker or tweakers. The term tweaker refers to a methamphetamine user.
Grissom refers to Lorena Bobbitt. Bobbitt cut off her husband, Wayne Bobbitt's penis with a kitchen knife on June 23, 1993.
Episode Title: Daddy's Little Girl
The title of this episode refers to both cases which dealt with suspects who were favored by their fathers.

New York fans -- who take pride in their passion and hostility, even when it's misguided -- need to take a long look in the mirror today after being shamed in the pages of a Los Angeles newspaper:
Reporting from New York -- Manny Ramirez, you're not in San Diego anymore. Or are you?
The Dodgers' left fielder sparked some boos Tuesday night during an abbreviated appearance, but he mostly generated indifference from a Citi Field crowd that displayed something resembling SoCal cool. The heckling was especially mild among those seated behind Ramirez in left field during the 4 1/2 innings he played before being ejected for scattering his bat, helmet and arm guard on the field after a called third strike.
"I've been in some hostile environments," Daniel Nussen, a Santa Monica-born Dodgers fan who now lives in Manhattan, said from his seat in left field. "This is just like another Mets game."
The only possible explanations for this are (a) Citi Field has priced out your typical, obnoxious Mets fan in favor of a bunch of mild-mannered white collar types; (b) the Mets' recent struggles have simply demoralized the fan base, to the point where they can't get their dander up over much of anything; or (c) Manny Ramirez isn't nearly the villain in the eyes of fans that the press desperately wants him to be. What say you, Manny?
"I get that support everywhere I go. "The fans have been great to me, especially in L.A. . . . People really like me."
Makes sense to me. Now, can we finally get over the phony outrage?

The FA is marking the 25th anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster by delaying the kick-offs of all Premier League, Football League and Conference matches by seven minutes, with the same procedure being followed in both the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley.
Arsenal's tie with Wigan Athletic will now kick off at the national stadium at 5.07pm on Saturday 12 April, while Hull City v Sheffield United will begin there at 4.07pm the following day. A minute's silence will be held at these games and at all league matches from Friday 11 to Monday 14 April in the final minute before the delayed kick-offs.
The FA Cup semi-final on 15 April 1989 between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, when 96 fans lost their lives, was ended six minutes after kick-off because of the crush in Hillsborough's Leppings Lane End.
