EDITORIALS>>Be thankful
It doesnt matter because whatever your current station in life, we all have something to be thankful forfamily and friends, of course.
But most importantly, we should be thankful that we are in a country that allows us the opportunity to move up lifes ladder, even here in central Arkansas.
Americas history is a cornucopia of people moving up: The poor becoming rich, the mailroom clerk becoming the companys president, even a shoe salesman (Harry S. Truman) becoming president.
Thats what makes this country great. Everyone here has a chance. Its not a right, but a true opportunity to achieve. Just look all around you.
Lets be thankful for that, and as we pursue our personal goals and dreams, lets work together to keep our country a place where dreams can and do come true.

The zoo lost 11 marmoset monkeys earlier this year when thieves stole the tiny creatures from their cages.
It's hoped the two howler monkeys, called Greeb and Wing, will act as an alarm system as they 'scream' very loudly if they're disturbed or upset.
A man from Exmoor Zoo in Devon said he hopes the bigger monkeys - which can also bite - will scare off burglars.
Big teeth
Danny Reynolds of Exmoor Zoo said: "They use their tails as a fifth limb so you have to keep out of their way when you clean their cage - they are a handful!"
After a massive search two of the marmosets stolen from Exmoor were found in a back garden. They have since returned to the zoo.
Greeb and Wing moved to their home in Barnstable about three weeks ago. They eat lots of leaves, vegetables and fruit and in the wild the creatures use screams to find each other.
It's hoped the couple might have babies soon.

I would like to know your reasoning behind warning about Cauda Equina red flags with a C-Spine injury.In treatment terms a herniation should always be ruled out but the neck should be kept moving. PS if any bladder or bowel movements become difficult to control or the loss of leg sensation occurs go straight to A and E.
good luck

Hi Alan,
I was considering the part with the 6 metal clips as the inner part and the outer part has the 4 plastic clips. I started by putting a plastic spatula just under the rear portion of the outer piece and pulled down enough to pull down more with my fingers. I then worked my fingers around this outer piece to the sides were I could then see the metal clips on the side of the inner piece. I was able to work my fingers in to where I was now pulling down on the beefy inner piece and finally apply enough downward force on the inner piece to pull it down, releasing the two metal clips. I then did the same on the other sides until the entire unit came out. I wish I could explain this better but essentially, the outer piece is too flimsy to pull down on enough to cause the metal clips on the inner piece to release. The goal should be to open up the outer piece enough so that you can work your fingers or tool on to the stronger inner piece and pull down on that to release the metal clips. I feel that if you apply all your downward force to the outer piece, it will break before the inner's metal clips release... I hope this helps!

Washington (AFP) July 13, 2014
Orbital Sciences Corporation on Sunday launched its unmanned Cygnus cargo carrier on a journey to resupply the astronauts living aboard the International Space Station.
The spacecraft lifted off from Wallops Island, Virginia at 12:52 pm (1652 GMT) aboard a gleaming white Antares rocket.
A NASA commentator described the launch as a "flawless 10-minute ride to orbit."
The spacecraft is packed with 3,653 pounds (1,657 kilograms) of food, equipment, science experiments and tools, Orbital Sciences Corp. said.
The launch marks the second of eight missions the company has contracted with NASA, and is the third journey by Orbital to the International Space Station after a successful demonstration trip last year.
This mission, known as Orb-2, was initially supposed to launch in May, but a Russian-built rocket engine in the Antares rocket failed during a prelaunch test, causing a delay.
A new flock of satellites, food and supplies for the crew, experiments for growing arugula in space, and a pump for the Japanese module to replace one that failed are among the items on board the spacecraft.
The Cygnus should arrive at the orbiting outpost on July 16.
American astronaut Steve Swanson and crewmates aboard the station will reach out with the ISS's robotic arm to grab the cargo ship, aided by NASA mission control in Houston, Texas. The capture is scheduled for 6:37 am (1037 GMT) and the berthing of the ship to the station is set for 8:45 am (1245 GMT).
Orbital Sciences and SpaceX are the two private US companies that have won major contracts with NASA for multiple missions to carry supplies to the International Space Station.
Orbital's deal is worth $1.9 billion and SpaceX's contract is $1.6 billion.
Orbital's cargo ships burn up on reentry into Earth's atmosphere, unlike SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, which makes an intact splash landing in the ocean.
Orb-3 is scheduled to launch in November, and three more Cygnus missions are planned for 2015.
NASA lost its capacity to reach the space station after the 30-year space shuttle program ended in 2011.
SpaceX and Orbital now make regular resupply journeys with their unmanned cargo ships. Europe and Russia also have their own spaceships that can tote equipment and provisions to the research outpost.
In order for astronauts to get there, nations must buy seats aboard Russia's Soyuz spacecraft, at a cost of $70.7 million each. The spaceship carries three people at a time.
Several American companies are competing to be the first to complete a crew vehicle that will restore US access to the station in the next few years.

How can you tell which auto repair facilities in Solano County are the value they claim to be? Independent research and scientific surveys will prove their claims.
All Diamond Certified car repair shops have undergone a ratings process that most other auto repair shops can't pass. If you want quality from a vehicle repair shop in Solano County and the greater North Bay and Bay-Delta Region, you'll have confidence when choosing among Diamond Certified shops. You can read Diamond Certified reports on all certified facilities, including verbatim survey responses. And you'll never be deceived by fake reviews because all research is conducted by live telephone interviews of a large, random sample of actual customers. If you can't find a Diamond Certified car repair shop within reach, you'll have to carry out some research of your own.
Even if you're in a hurry to have your repairs done, it is wise to check references. If you do, auto repair shops in Solano County should be willing to give you the names and phone numbers of recent customers you can call as references. Keep in mind, though, that the reference list supplied by the shops are not as reliable as the results of the large random sample of customers surveyed during the Diamond Certified ratings process. That's because references are "cherry-picked," rather than randomly chosen from all clientele, meaning the shops are likely just giving you a few happy customers to call.
If your do call on references, specifically ask for a list of their 10 most recent customers (to help avoid them giving you only customers they know were satisfied) and call those references. Ask general questions about their experience with the shop's personnel as well as specific questions about the car repairs.
Questions you might want to ask the auto repair references you call may consist of:
- What vehicle services did _(auto repair shop name_) do for you?
- Were you satisfied with the car repairs from this Solano County auto repair shop?
- If you live in a smaller town such as Nut Tree, Maine Prairie, Bucktown, Cordelia, Elmira, Green Valley or in rural The Bay Delta Region, was your auto shop willing to tow your car or truck to their auto repair garage?
- Were you pleased with the turn-around time from the auto repair center?
- Did the mechanics and auto service writers listen to you and communicate with you about your car problems?
- Was the price was fair for the car repairs you had done?
- What did you like best about this Solano County automotive repair shop?
- If you had any problems or miscommunications with the auto center, were they willing to work with you to come to a satisfactory solution?
- Would you go back to this car repair facility?
- Would you recommend/have you recommended this auto repair garage?

I use this in preference to Vi or Emacs, or any GUI editor since it got syntax highlighting. It feels more Unix-y than either of those because it just edits text and leaves everything else up to command line tools which you can access with ctrl-z then 'fg' back into ne.
Very capable and accessible
This is a very nice editor indeed. If you already know and love vi or emacs, this probably won'nt interest you much.
However, if you are looking for a more learnable text editor that excels at handling very large files (unlike most graphical editors), this will work nicely.
More New Users Should Use This
For the new user, I recommend this editor on any Linux install.
I use this editor all the time whenever I have to do things at command line, especially in cases where I need to 'su' as root from command line and now need to edit a file without waiting on Nautilus to open up so that I can right click the file and open with gedit. This editor is fantastic for me and I recommend all new users consider installing it.
I don't know why the rankings on this aren't high enough. I guess people new to Linux and Unix either don't know about freshmeat.net yet or perhaps they feel they have to "do as the Romans do" by sticking with vi or emacs or whatever editor they have in their GUI so that they can say, "Hey, I know vi". Sure, everyone is going to need to know the 5 minute tutorial basics of vi, such as its few modes and how to switch these, and how to save a file and get out of it. Perhaps they might even learn that CTRL+Y yanks a line out. But I have chosen not to learn anything beyond that.
Instead, I use this editor 'ne', which is very similar to Nedit but in pure console form. The reason I use it is because I have to sometimes be at command line, either through an ssh connection, or when I have to do a 'man' on a command, or when I have to 'su' as root. So, whenever I'm at command line and need to edit a file, I don't like to wait for nautilus or gedit to load so that I can mess with them, so I use 'ne'. I also don't like messing with vi or emacs because I'm just not that crowd.
nice console-based editor for novices
It's a fact of life that new users want an editor that works like Windows notepad. Finding a solution that can be used over a non-X11 connection from a Windows machine is not easy. This editor not only provides the basic feel of notepad, it delivers easy access to some very nice advanced functions (mark location, find regexp, macros, save preferences, ...) that are unusually easy to use.
I built the program on a fairly clean Solaris 7 box with no problems.
I'm sticking with vi and emacs but now everybody is happy.
An open, cross-platform journaling program.
A scientific plotting package.

Egypt rivals claim presidency as army tightens grip (REUTERS) By Marwa Awad and Yasmine Saleh CAIRO, EGYPT 06/18/12 1:46pm EDT)
Source: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/18/us-egypt-election-idUSBRE85G01U20120618
Reuters News Service
Reuters News Service Articles-Index-Top
(Reuters) - Egypt´s agonized passage from revolution to democracy was in limbo on Monday, as the Muslim Brotherhood claimed victory in a presidential election while the generals who took over from Hosni Mubarak decreed it was they who would keep power for now.
That drew a sharp rebuke from Washington, long the Egyptian military´s financial sponsor. The Pentagon said it was "deeply concerned" and urged the army to hand over "full power" to civilians - but it made no mention of U.S. action if it did not.
The former general running against the Brotherhood´s Mohammed Morsy scorned the Islamist´s self-declared triumph as a bid to "hijack" the election. Ahmed Shafik, Mubarak´s last prime minister, said his data showed it was he who was ahead.
After a day of counting, and mutual jibes over violations, there was no official word on how the two-day run-off had gone and electoral supervisors warned they may not publish a result until Thursday - prolonging what for many Egyptians has become a wearisome deadlock between a military past and religious future.
Shafik´s camp insisted he led by two to four points but even sources in the army, which has fought the Brotherhood through six decades of military rule, indicated they were preparing to accept that Morsy had won Egypt´s first free presidential vote.
But whoever emerges as president - and one electoral official privately endorsed Morsy´s claim to be leading by 52 percent to 48 with the bulk of votes counted - he will find his powers tightly circumscribed by a decree issued by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi´s military council as polls closed on Sunday.
Having last week dissolved the parliament that was elected in January with a thumping Islamist majority, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) said it would now take back the assembly´s legislative powers and could also step in to break a deadlock in drafting a new constitution.
Liberals and Islamists called it a "military coup".
"Military Transfers Power - to Military," ran the ironic headline in independent newspaper al-Masry al-Youm.
Tantawi, Mubarak´s defense minister for 20 years, had promised Egyptians who entrusted him with their revolutionary gains to hand power to civilians by July 1. That pledge, endorsed by the United States, would be satisfied, the council said, with the induction of a new civilian president by June 30.
Yet he will be a president who can only appoint a government whose every law must be endorsed by SCAF. A timetable set down for writing a constitution, passing it by referendum and then electing a parliament could leave Tantawi in charge until 2013.
At the Pentagon, a spokesman said: "We are deeply concerned about the new amendments to the constitutional declaration, including the timing of their announcement as polls were closing ... We support the Egyptian people in their expectation that the (SCAF) will transfer full power to a democratically elected civilian government, as the SCAF previously announced."
Facing a dilemma over how far to push its leverage over a close ally, the biggest Arab army in a turbulent region where militant Islam is a common threat, Washington released $1.3 billion of annual military aid to Egypt in March despite slow progress on democracy. The Pentagon said on Monday it wanted to maintain those close ties, but would "monitor events closely".
"It is unclear who will rule, who the real leaders will be, and who - if anyone - represents the people," said Anthony Cordesman at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "What is clear is that Egypt is no closer to stability and a predictable path to the future than before."
The Brotherhood, however, expressed its joy and defiance on the streets and Morsy, a 60-year-old, U.S.-educated engineer who was a political prisoner under Mubarak, promised to be a leader of all Egyptians - a nod to the many, from Christians to secular liberals to moderate Muslims, who fear intolerant clerical rule.
"Thanks be to God who has guided Egypt´s people to the path of freedom and democracy, uniting Egyptians for a better future," Morsy said in a victory speech to supporters in Cairo.
Hundreds of flag-waving supporters of the Brotherhood gathered in Tahrir Square, where the anti-Mubarak revolt was launched on January 25, 2011, mainly by secular young urbanites.
"Thank God, we have got rid of military rule and the police state," said Mona Issam, one of several cheering women clad in robes and full- face veils. "We hope Morsy takes power from the military council ... We lived like strangers in our land under the old regime. We were oppressed and Islam was not the law."
Hosni Qutb, a 45-year-old physician, derided Shafik as the "candidate of Israel", in reference to the military rulers´ 33-year-old peace treaty with Egypt´s Jewish neighbor. Israel fears growing hostility from Cairo and said an Israeli and two militants were killed in an attack on its border overnight.
Yet Monday´s celebrations were hardly noticed in the morning rush hour and measured barely a drop compared with the human sea that engulfed Cairo on February 11 last year when Mubarak fell, pushed aside by generals fearful of losing their own privileges.
Morsy attracted support from many who reject his religious agenda and the imposition of Islamic law but wanted to bar the way to Shafik, 70, whom they see as the heir to the old regime.
As Islamists cheered, unemployed Mohamed Mahmoud, 28, did not share their joy: "I voted for Morsy but I can´t say I´m happy," he said. "I´m still afraid of both and what they may do.
"I don´t want an Islamic state or a new Mubarak state."
"This decree just makes plain the hegemony of SCAF," said Khaled Ali, a liberal lawyer eliminated in the first round of voting. "This decree strips the president of the powers he was elected to have and gives those to the military council."
The order indicated that the army, which controls swathes of Egypt´s economy, has no intention of handing substantial power to its old Islamist adversary and may be hoping that public disillusion with the Brotherhood´s performance will reduce its influence on the new constitution and the next parliament.
The Brotherhood has contested the army´s power to dissolve the present parliament and, with other groups, has called for a mass demonstration on Tuesday. It has warned of "dangerous days" ahead. But few see the Islamists, who hung back at the start of the revolt and spent much of the past year in uneasy symbiosis with the army, launching a violent grab for power any time soon.
In a statement, the movement rejected SCAF´s right to issue a decree but avoided direct confrontation: "SCAF must keep its word to the people to hand over executive power to an elected president," it said. In fact, it is "executive" power that the generals plan to transfer, while keeping "legislative" rights.
A Western diplomat said the Brotherhood, badly bloodied in the 1990s, would tread cannily: "What the counter-revolutionary forces would like is for the Muslim Brotherhood to throw their forces onto the street. Then there would be a real pogrom.
"That is why I don´t think it will happen."
A senior Brotherhood official, Essam el-Haddad, told Reuters: "This is the beginning of a very tough path. The beginning of it is dealing with the amended constitutional declaration that strips the president of any real powers."
The failure of the new parliament to agree a consensus body to draft a constitution - liberals accuse the Islamists of packing the panel with religious zealots - has left Egyptians picking their way from revolution to democracy through a legal maze, while the generals control the map and change it at will.
General Mohamed Assar defended the actions of his comrades on SCAF: "This big country, with its big problems, will face challenges in its move towards democracy," he said, but added:
"With the support of this great people ... the first president in the history of Egypt chosen by the people will soon begin building the new renaissance of Egypt."
However, the experience of the past year has left many Egyptians doubting that the military, and what they call the "deep state" stretching across big business, Mubarak-era judges, security officials and the army, will ever hand over control.
Political chaos has ravaged a vital tourist trade focused on pyramids and Red Sea beaches and the latest turn of events, by prolonging uncertainty, may further harm the economy. The main stock market index fell 3.4 percent to a five-month low.
"How can you possibly make these huge economic decisions in such circumstances?" says Gabriel Sterne, an economist at London investment banking house Exotix. "Such events as these only serve to undermine confidence and accelerate capital flight."

great catch. can you submit this picture to my group japan-hdr ?

Thank you
Thank you

Street photography is not really my thing but this shot totally caught my attention and drew in me for a closer look. The guy in the background is intriguing. What exactly is he up to? The mask, the shades in the rain?
Masks are used for both fashion and to prevent spreading illness in Japan. =]
People in Japan usually wear those masks a lot. Might be because of the radiation problem they're having right now or something else. ):
I don't think it's the radiation. They've always done that, since before as well.
I know they have. /: Some do it to protect from sicknesses, or they're sick themselves and don't want to spread it, etc. I actually used to do it sometimes.
Ah, okay. Yeah. I honestly think it's weird, but hey, it seems to work. And if it doesn't, no apparent harm done, lol.
Great photo congratulation on the DD
It finely expresses . . .
The everyday life atmosphere was captured in a great way! Well done!!!!!!
Great shot...... reminds me of when I was living in Tokyo.
Wonderful atmosphere and such a beautiful moment you've captured. Congrats on your well deserved DD
This is an interesting photo. The really attention grabber for me is the fact that the guy behind the girl has on the facial mask. As if she is just scorching up the air as she walks through it or something. Very remarkable scene. Even the water looks like it's cooling her off.
Love the contrast!

I would like to respond to the gentleman that commented on the landscaping at Woodlake Circle entrance, "Low water plants would make better landscaping," by Curt Juran, Feb. 12.
First of all, I would not criticize something until you have the facts. If you would have gotten out of your car and looked at what we were planting and installing, I don't think you would have put the HOA down. Most of the plants that were planted are drought tolerant. We covered the soil with bark to keep the moisture in the ground. We installed a drip system in all the planters to save on water. And the sod that was installed is one of the most drought tolerant of all the grasses.
So instead of criticizing the association, you may want to look at your own yard. Oh, and by the way, we have LED lighting to save on energy.

Szechuan Shrimp
Traditional Szechuan dishes are often quite spicy, but we've given this recipe only a slight dose of heat. If your taste runs to the incendiary, make yours hotter by adding more red-pepper flakes.
Slideshow: Amazing Seafood Recipes
- Servings: 4
- 1/2 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons sherry
- 2 red bell peppers, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 1 1/4 cups long-grain rice
- 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, shelled
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 scallions, white part chopped, green tops sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried red-pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
How to make this recipe
In a small bowl, combine the chicken broth, ketchup, soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, and 1 tablespoon of the sherry. Heat a wok or large frying pan over moderately high heat until very hot. Add the bell peppers and stir-fry until starting to blacken, about 5 minutes. Remove.
Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Stir in the rice and boil until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, toss the shrimp with the remaining 2 tablespoons sherry and the cornstarch. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in the wok or frying pan over moderately high heat. Add the shrimp and stir-fry until just done, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp and add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Reduce the heat to moderate and add the charred bell peppers, the garlic, ginger, the chopped scallions, and the red-pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 3 minutes.
Increase the heat to high. Add the broth mixture and boil until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp and sliced scallions and just heat through. Drizzle the sesame oil over the top. Serve the shrimp with the rice.
Suggested Pairing
A German Riesling will be a knockout here. If you're keeping the heat subdued, a Pfalz Kabinett will work fine. If you increase the pepper, go to a sweeter Spätlese or even an Auslese.

Editorial: Holiday shopping as economic stimulus
Editorial: Holiday shopping as economic stimulus
U.S. consumer confidence dropped in November to 70.4 percent, an inauspicious sign for businesses that rely upon boosted sales this holiday season. Down from 72.4 percent in October, this figure is a seven-month low. (Data is from the nonprofit research organization The Conference Board, which measures such statistics in America.) Despite these unfavorable findings, it remains to be seen whether end-of-the-year shopping is negatively affected.
Declining customer confidence unsurprisingly coincides with waning public trust in national lawmakers. Conference Board researchers logically believe the government shutdown in October may have led some citizens to form pessimistic views regarding employment and economic prospects. Americans also could be hesitant to spend as freely this holiday season due to concerns about the bungled Obamacare roll-out. (Can current health plans be kept? Will new plans cost more than originally advertised?)
Considering the frustrating, messy, hyper-partisan state of federal politics these days, it's understandable that people may feel uncertain about the immediate future, to the point of shopping conservatively.
Diminished spending during holiday season, though, would hamper economic growth at a critical period. Naturally, businesses nationwide have come to expect pumped-up sales as the calendar year concludes. Customers holding back would mean an ill-timed lump of coal for bottom lines.
Or, the opposite may prove true during the next few months. Spending patterns do not always adhere to assessments of confidence. Americans sometimes will still shop in spite of low economic optimism — perhaps out of routine, perhaps as a pick-me-up. According to a Nov. 27 AP news story, even as consumer confidence shrunk in October, spending actually increased in certain markets. Gains were seen in restaurants, auto vendors and retail stores, especially for furniture, electronics and clothing.
This could be because, in general, national gas prices are down and hiring is up. Also, as gift-giving holidays approach, people may be more willing to open wallets for the sake of procuring presents. Which, of course, is not necessarily a bad habit, despite fiscal prudence individuals may exercise the rest of the year.
After all, come the holidays, we're typically not spending extra on ourselves, but on others. And these annual purchases to show our appreciation for family and friends also provide a yearly elixir for commercial bottom lines. So, where it can be afforded, shop with confidence as 2013 closes out, for each present bought and wrapped is also a contribution toward the continued health of America's economy.

We plan to soon be able to offer a new service to sports fans who want to contribute and share content with the BBC.
Our principle aims are to provide a high quality service which is more distinctive than our current message boards and offers members a better range of ways to get involved.
We have outlined some of our plans to achieve this, such as enabling members to submit match reports and articles, which other members can then comment on. We will also provide member pages and, in time, privileges for trusted users.
You can read about our initial plans in more detail here:
Sport Editors' blog: You and BBC Sport - now and in the future
But what we are very keen to do right now is get a user group together to give us some vital constructive input while things are under development.
Ideally, we would like a range of fans of different sports, competitions and teams who would be willing to participate in the following ways:
You don't have to be an internet expert but it would be helpful if you have a reasonable knowledge of online communities; both the BBC's and others.
If you are open-minded and keen to try new things and give us an honest opinion - we want you on board!
Thank you for all your emails. We have had a great response, receiving far more offers of help than there are spaces on the user group. We appreciate all the responses so far, and will be in touch with everyone as soon as possible.

On October 5, 1964, President James B. "Mr. Jim" Hillman*, 86 of the Neshoba County Fair Association died in his sleep at his home at 520 Poplar Avenue in Philadelphia.
In 1883, at the age of five, James B. Hillman, originally of Marion County, Georgia, moved with his family to the Beech Springs community in southwest Neshoba County, Mississippi, a temporary stop on their way to a permanent home in Texas, a place in which they never settled.
Even though educational opportunities were scare in that rural part of Neshoba County, Mr. Jim attended school in a one- room log cabin whenever it met, and whenever he had a way to get there.
The lack of a formal elementary and high school education did not deter Hillman, who graduated from Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1903, moving to Philadelphia a year later.
In December of 1904, Hillman, at the age of 26, married Kate L. Spivey, known affectionately in her later as "Aunt Kate." Over the next 58 years, Mr. Jim practiced law in Neshoba County, before retiring in 1962.
In late 1905, during his legal career, Hillman drafted the incorporating documents for the town of Philadelphia.
Beginning in 1911, he served as county attorney for several terms, judge of the 8th judicial district, and president of the Neshoba County Bar Association for 35 years.
His obituary noted that, "One of his greatest interests was the Neshoba County Fair Association," a corporation in which he served as vice president for three years, 1936 to 1939, and as president for 25 years, 1939 to his death in 1964.
For the October 5, 1964, edition of The Neshoba Democrat, Editor Jack L. Tannehill wrote a front page eulogy entitled, " 'Mr. Jim' A Friend." "Rich in money he was not, but in friends and memories he was wealthy indeed. His well-mannered, ethical and easy-going ways made him a respected lawyer, gentleman and husband at all times," wrote Tannehill, among other words of praise.
Stockholders of the Neshoba County Fair Association, on November 5, 1964, elected Vice President Thomas Brown Williams, Jr., as president to succeed J. B. Hillman.
Williams, who had served as vice president for 19 years, 1945 to 1964, acted in this new position for four years until 1968, following in the footsteps of his father, Thomas Brown Williams, Sr., who had led the Association for 17 years, 1919 to 1936. (Note: These three men together presided over this famed institution for nearly one-half of a century).
Other officers elected at this meeting were: Norman Johnson, Jr., vice president; Morris Therrell, vice president; Willard Hays, vice president and secretary and Juarene Killingsworth Ruffin, treasurer.
Board members in addition to the officers were: Marshall Cannon, Jr., Henry A. Kennedy, B. J. Milling, Herman Alford, Homer Lofton Hooper, Sr., Olen Nicholson, S. W. "Bill" Richardson, W.H. Holland, Mrs. Ellen Johnson Spendrup, Joseph K. "Joe" Turner, Jr. and Hugh H. "Boots" Harpole.
Four weeks and four days before the official beginning of the 1965 session of the Neshoba Fair, the first under the direction of the newly elected officers and directors, a staff reporter for The Neshoba Democrat wrote: "The historic old fairground, eight miles south of Philadelphia, is being readied for another 'Giant Houseparty.' This is the annual family reunion for hundreds of native countians and Mississippians as well as for patrons from all over the nation. The spacious and shady grounds of this famous old campground provide the natural setting for leisure, fun and frolic. Fellowship and friendship are the reigning spirit for the traditional gathering. The programs for the fair are always planned to provide some form of good entertainment for people of all ages. There is to be the finest in talent presented on stages; the outstanding state leaders will appear; politicians and future office seekers are being scheduled to speak; Miss Neshoba County will be selected; outstanding commerce and agricultural will be on display, as swell well as the popular livestock shows, harness and running races." "Mr. Jim" Hillman would have been PROUD!

From 2009.igem.org
iGEM > Paris > Ethics > Ethical Report > Introduction
By using an engineering approach, synthetic biologists hope to discover underlying design principles in genetic networks and to develop new standards for how biologists manipulate genes. Tim Gardner and Jim Collins' biological toggle switch (Gardner, Cantor, and Collins 2000) is a good example of this engineering approach. Using simple, standardizable genetic modules, they were able to build a switch in E coli that controls its behavior. Thus, knowledge from genetics is transformed to work for engineering purposes. Through standardization, it is hoped that discoveries and progress in synthetic biology will be usable at a large scale, will be included in a common reference and could create a harmonious and protocolar ensemble.
The emergence of a new discipline, of new forms of knowledge, new sets of practices and handling is "socially" accompanied by new discourses, tales, hopes, anguishes, etc. That new "whole" will have built-in stakes, references and paradigms that affect our regard of the world. Our reflexion is about ethics in synthetic biology. Thus, we will poll, question those hopes, anguishes and promises linked to that new discipline in that ethical perspective.
The ethical reflexion has some intellectual constraints : we will have to take account of and challenge the abstraction of the moral and normative while facing the complexity of the social world it is trying to rule. Ethics in science is quite difficult to define, I decide to consider it as the challenge of the coexistence of a free scientific research, both in theory and practices, and the social responsibilities of those scientific theories and practices. In this introduction, we will have to consider two sets of stakes, two dimensions relevant to that challenge. At first, in the field of ethics : how and for what aim was the ethical reflexion on the sciences built? Then, in the field of science : why do scientists have to consider, through the concept of risk, the social world?
A. Perspectives from the field of ethics : polyphony and the moral imperative.
Deontology in science (as a professional ethical code or a code of professional responsibility), since Hippocrates, was gradually twisted, invested, questioned by a series of social actors and disciplines. It no longer belongs to doctors and, largely, to scientists, on their own and in a "corporatist" way, traditional and endogenous, to rule the moral implications of their works and productions. It is an ethics "by doctors, for doctors".
The main rupture which leads us from medical ethics to bioethics happened after World War II, with collective reflexions about human rights and science, coming to us from the "by doctors, for doctors" perspective. During the 60's, two kinds of events happened that shaped the development of bioethics : some scandalous cases (for example the Thalidomide, the Brooklyn and Willowbrook cases (Hirsch, Ameisen, and Collectif 2007)) and the emergence of new critical and political discourses claiming individual rights, autonomy and contesting authority, and, through that criticism, medical and scientific authority.
The singularity of bioethics comes from this plurality of legitimate social actors, disciplines and discourses about "good practices in science". Among these, medical and scientific discourses are joined with discourses from the theological and juridical fields, as well as discourses from activists, ecologists, citizens, consumers, patient, etc. That singularity comes with a enlargement of the scale of the object of the ethical thought : from medicine to life science. In the United States of America during the 70's, that movement came with a polarization of the ethical concerns : some specialized sectors of ethics were rising (bioethics, business ethics, environmental ethics, etc), showing that the point is now both about building a system of ethical references and a rational procedure of decision-making. It enlightens the pragmatical concern at work in that new ethical perspective.
Legitimacy seems quite hard to attain : the one who detains scientific knowledge is no longer the only one who "can" and "must" express the social ins and outs about a scientific discovery or progress. There is dissociation between modes of legitimacy of bioethical discourse and forms of "traditional" scientific gratitude. We can notice that new participants of the debate are "uninitiated" persons or a "mixed group", expressing themselves in new structures (institutional or not), new moment of expression, and new recommendations. Temporality, form and dynamics of discourses are now numerous, hybrid and non rivalled. Exteriority from the scientific field is now a criterion of legitimacy, regarding the fact that internal motivations of the speakers are not involved in the moral imperative expressed.
These new expressions of "good practices in science" lead us to a new problem : it reveals a new and complex prescriptive dimension to the bioethical discourses. Actually, the pragmatical objective of that ethical reflexion is to prescribe. It makes use of an imperative, a "good practices manual" as tools, expressing its genealogy and cultural history : universalism of moral principles from the modern philosophy.
Both elements, one from the historical construction of bioethics and the other from that philosophical tradition, are intention. Plurality of discourses about good practices in science is becoming a productive polyphony, both considered as complex and as new wealth of our democratic societies. That polyphony seemed quite contradictory to the quest of unity and simplicity of moral principle, built on the idea that a moral imperative has to be one, simple and necessary to be operational and, above all, to be valid.
How are we to deal with both, quite contradictory dynamics in the bioethical perspective? How are we to build normative principles in order to guide and to control practices? Every disciplinary paradigm, every social actor, every regard seem legitimate to express in their own way but are still trying to fulfill a unique moral imperative. Bioethics has the interest to embody that tension between a polyphony of legitimate discourses and and a moral imperative quest, between the multiple and the unique, the hybrid and the pure.
As we find out in our previous reflexions, the look of the outsiders of the scientific field on scientific practices and productions is now perceived as a richness and is progressively admitted and legitimate.
Citizens, jurists, sociologists, economists, politicians, people from consumers or patients' associations, NGO's are now entitled to claim a visibility on scientific practices and motivations. That claim came with discourses, recommendations and alerts.
My own presence in the Paris team in the IGEM competition is representative of that phenomenon : being a science studies sociologist on the team, having a "anthropological approach", trying to enlighten ethical stakes. Scientists accept the presence of observers. What will be the feedback of that acceptance? Of that opening to the other, the outsider of the scientific community, the uninitiated?
We first have to come back to an a priori that will be only mentioned here because of its importance even if it is not at the heart of our reflexions : the historical influence of the uninitiated, the non scientists on the constitution of scientific knowledge, has always been important, even if invisible. In the pubs of London in the modern period (Stewart 1999) or in the salon of the "Blue stockings" movement of the British aristocracy (Sartori 2006), many invisible places and people are left out of the History of science but were active contributors in the production of knowledge. That contribution in invisibility is a way for us to perceive the broadness, the irregularity and the divergence of the multiple front line of science, creating a multiplicity of places, people, kind of expertise and practices to look at (Pestre 2006).
According to Marie-Angèle Hermitte (Hermitte 2007), in the 1970's, a "society of science and technology" (referring to any society where science and technology are the primary production resource) developed between the economy of knowledge under construction (weighing up knowledge, technology and sustainability as a new motor of the contemporary capitalism) and the risk society, considering that "we can't have one without the other". That culture of science also has a new component, separating it from the idea of priceless progress, making its rise "spectacular" for the analyst : that society rests on "consent". It is now admitted, encouraged and normalized to expose difficulties and risks linked to technological society, to admit that technological progress is not exempt from negative effects. That element will be important in our approach, because it culturally built up a new objective of the ethical perspective, adding to the objective of prevention (regarding established risks) an objective of precaution (adding the "probable" risks to its concerns). The new aspect of "consent" in our technological society regarding crisis, risks and the global consensus about the necessity to exit lead to the creation of a new people, composed of manufacturers, scientists, politicians, and citizens keeping their differences of opinion in order to create "social pact" to answer the new social and environmental imperatives. The risks associated with emerging technologies could reconfigure the social world, putting the promises, responsibilities and expertise of science and scientists at its centre. The ethical questions in sciences and the new relations that it "imposes" between social actors can have some large effect and reconfigurations on the social world and democracy.
We have to take into consideration those uninitiated in the social debates, controversies and polemics nowadays about the technical and scientific decisions facing risks (nuclear waste, GMOs, infected blood). Controversies are special moments and situations where both uncertainty and divergences between actors are perceptible. These situations call scientists' monopoly into questions about what is the best way to resolve the "local" problem, leading to a more "global and conceptual challenge" by reopening the question of the "neutrality of science". The legitimacy of the scientific decision about risks, and so the technical choice of politics usually based on these scientific decisions, are now disputed. Scientific and social controversies are a way to put into light the democratic aspects of the scientific decision-making process, focused on the question of the good way to "live together" (including the environmental question), that new social pact, where ethical perspective is at the center. We can also notice, referring to the work of Callon, Lascoumes and Barthe's (Callon, Lascoumes, and Barthe 2001), that controversies are also regarded as a new way to practice a "dialogical democracy" in the decision making process, in some new "open spaces where groups can mobilize themselves to debate technical choices in which the public is involved". As already proposed, the question of governementality, the scientific decision making process and democratic experimentation have to be considered in our reflexion.
As evidenced by our emphasis on the words "look" and"regard", ethics is mainly about observation, looking before assessing. Importantly, in order to judge a situation, one needs to have access to it. That "look" on scientific production can be the look of the scientific community, the look of the outsider, the look of the judge, etc. Building ethical tools is also about building that observation, that special way to look at scientific production. I intend to create a dialogue between the "look", the "regard" and the "speech" as the next step of this ethical perspective. That way, speech has to be thought almost as "action", referring to the performative utterance, allowing us to consider it also in a critical perspective, by observing what kind of power, tensions and strategies are involved in a scientific debate that covers a multiplicity of social stakes.

Lil Boosie Breaks Silence Behind Bars...
Boosie is so beloved by the south and just about any inner-city community that he goes beyond cult status, straight into a venerable religion. So, when he was sentenced to eight years at the Angola State Prison in Louisiana, a "Free Boosie" twitter account immediately sprung up. That account now has 133,000 followers. Though he is forbidden to talk to the press directly, Lil Boosie was able to correspond with Jeff Weiss through his attorneys. Via Spin:
"It's been hard at times. Some guards hate me with a passion and it shows in some of the things I've been told and called. Some guards come to work full of hatred for inmates. I think they do that because their household is miserable or they're just tired of working," Boosie reasoned. "When I first got here, I was a ticking time bomb. I've been done bad by some guards, but there's people here who have been done worse. They do have some cool guards here though. As far as inmates, I'm respected. It's just like the streets — the real respect me and the fake are Boosie haters."

Bribery case against Israel's Sharon dropped
Page Tools
Jerusalem: Israel's attorney-general dropped a bribery case against Prime Minister Ariel Sharon yesterday in what could be a major boost to his plan to evacuate Jewish settlers from the Gaza Strip.
Attorney-General Menachem Mazuz said he had found insufficient evidence to warrant charges against Mr Sharon.
The case, which had the potential to topple Mr Sharon and derail his Gaza pullout plan, centred on alleged payments of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the prime minister's son, Gilad, by an Israeli land developer in the late 1990s.
Investigators had looked into whether Mr Sharon, foreign minister at the time, used his position to seek Greek government approval for an island resort. Israel's chief prosecutor had recommended Mr Mazuz put Mr Sharon on trial. Mr Sharon denied wrongdoing.
"After all these discussions, I have come to the decision that the case should be closed for lack of evidence," Mr Mazuz told reporters.
But Mr Mazuz may not have the final say. Leftist opposition politicians vowed to challenge the decision before Israel's High Court. Mr Sharon could also face indictment in two other corruption probes in which he has denied breaking any laws.
Despite that, Mr Mazuz's ruling lifts a cloud overhanging Mr Sharon's political future and strengthens his hand in pursuing his plan for "disengagement" with Palestinians by removing all 21 Jewish settlements in Gaza and four of 120 in the West Bank.

Whether you're a burger-lover or steak-seeker, the dishes you love you be a bit more pricey next year.
Analysts with the Dutch-based Rabobank anticipate that beef production will decline in 2013 thanks to the severe drought in the Mid-West, CNN reports. The drought makes it less cost-effective to raise beef cattle because the price of feed goes up and herds cost more to maintain.
Production is expected to decline anywhere between 4% to 9%. Even if the rains do come, farmers could hold back prime females for breeding rather than sending them to slaughter.
Plus, the price of beef is already climbing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a pound of ground beef went up 40 cents between Oct. 2011 and 2012, while a pound of USDA Choice sirloin went up 43 cent over the year. As a result, demand for beef in the U.S has dropped as well.

Vanilla Gelato with Peaches in Balsamic Vinegar
Pouring balsamic vinegar over fruit is a secret from the kitchens of Modena, the Italian city where the vinegar originated.
- Servings: 8
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup plus 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 ripe peaches or nectarines, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
How to make this recipe
In a medium saucepan, combine the cream, 1 cup of the milk and 1 cup of the sugar. Warm over moderate heat, stirring, just until steaming.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and the remaining 1 cup of milk until smooth. Slowly pour in the hot cream, whisking constantly, until combined. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until it coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 8 minutes. Strain the custard into a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
In a bowl, combine the peaches with the balsamic vinegar, the pepper and 1 tablespoon of sugar and let stand for 10 minutes; add more sugar if necessary. Divide the peaches among 8 bowls and top with scoops of the gelato. Spoon the balsamic sauce on top and serve.
Make Ahead
The vanilla gelato can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 days.
Cooking Club Tip: If you don't have time to chill the custard in the refrigerator before making the ice cream, strain it into a stainless steel bowl and set it over another bowl full of ice water, stirring constantly. The custard should cool down in a matter of minutes.

Yes, sin was caused by God's creation, because God gave His creation free will to choose to do so We are not mindless and we can choose to sin, but with our mind and will, we can also choose to love God and be forgiven through Christ Jesus God didn't make us mindless, and my point is that any world disaster caused by man has a sinful root to it if you look deep enough.

Does god punish and forgive everybody the same way?
How about the way he treats angels who misbehave? Loki? Luci? teh snake-kun?

Yes, God judges each person according to their own actions, and He forgives all who repent before Jesus Christ.
When angels have sinned they become demons, there is no redemption or forgiveness for angels. This is because angels have been in the presence of God, and to be in the presence of God one must have been judged. Because they have already been with God, when they sin there is no redemption, they clearly made their choice.

I believe in the doctrine of there a many paths to the same thing..........Religion is nothing but a philosophy that we humans created to understand our exsistence....I just believe we shouldn't just let ourselves be constrained by one certain religion, i studied a many religious texts and found a common ground among them all! Just simply believing in something a not questioning it is something I deeply dislike......I was once kicked out of my friends Bible study for asking " How can the Bible be divine if it was written and translated by sinners?" and " King James, why did he find want to translate the Bible?" There are so many loopholes in religion that I often get puzzled by, I just never take anything for face value......I think with an open mind and believe that there is something greater such as God, but I am not bogged down by fearing hell, because I have a strong personal moral code.
I think religion is more another way to induce "right" human behavior, like our laws have moral codes built into them to make sure we humans are controlled or act in a right and correct manner.
My question though is in any religion, there are rules, commandments, and codes one must follow to obtain a good standing with their higher power, why are we given choices, choice is the problem that we have that often leads us to going astray. So why have it?
what i don't understand is that such things as rights to discriminate is quite an often seen fact in religion, mainly because of society's moronic idea to give unadulterated and unquestioning respect to religion, so the hate-mongering of the religious is being freely tolerated while criticising religion is strongly disliked and looked upon as if it was a crime to question the existence of god, or the doctrine's rightfulness. what a nice double-standard.
only very few people dare to question the conflicts between religion and human rights today, and if they do they are said to be insulting someone's right to have a religion. some people would even go so far to disallow criticism against religion in general, expecting from us to honour religion with the same respect as its followers. whenever we try to question, or point out how very intriguing some issues are such as creationism, gay rights, or abortion; religious automatically come up with the argument that they have the right as a human being to have their religious harmony preserved, and thus demanding respect from non-adherents, i.e. not daring to question the religious doctrines.
of course, i do partly agree, everyone should have the right to devote his life to one's beliefs, as undoubtedly it is a fundamental human right to have the freedom of worship, of course, that's a fair argument, but this line of reasoning should not force us to give extravagant respect to some religious views.
despite their religion's message of love and patronage, archaic laws such as burying homosexuals alive, honour killings, marital abuse and female genital mutilation, etc. are respected/accepted by the religious. of course this is kind of generic, as there were also christians, too, who've been known to argue against female rights, gays, citing passages of the bible to support the enforcing of the subdued place of women in home and society.
that such archaic patriarchal-based sentiments can be still seen in our advanced world, is surely evidence of how much religion is being tolerated and unquestionably respected.
most of us shy away from questioning religions and religious beliefs because it is simply too much of a hassle. amusing is that religious people are never short of citing "hurt/offense" at criticism hurled at their religion, but often have no scruple about causing real damage and pain in form of words and, sadly, even actions, in other words, massively disrespecting the rights and liberties of other individuals.
allowing them to hold sway over policies and laws that discriminate others is unacceptable. here i am not trying to insult, this is just a simple form of realisation that religion and the religious are not that golden, saint as they present themselves.
other than that i find it rather troublesome that religion asserts itself as the unquestionable absolute truth, and doesn't tolerate any other form of thinking. demanding more blind respect than they deserve, even from those who don't share the same religion, if in any way religious at all.
spreading and evangelising, by any means, should not be allowed, as people should have the right to decide what they want to believe in without pressure from others.
only those who have the desire to keep it to themselves out of consideration for others, deserve my respect. sadly, only very few would meet those standards. ; /
while some moral values taught in the many holy books are universally accepted, not all of those views taught by religions are universally acceptable, or lawful. and that's where we should set a straight line, between the tolerable and non-tolerable.
other than that, referring to the absolute truth of a religion. it is a fact that many religions made/make various claims about this world that have been proved, later on, to be wrong. but since this claims are set under the category of religion, we are somewhat prohibited from questioning them with the same combativeness with which we'd be questioning other "truth" claims(for example questioning the truth that someone got abducted by aliens), and instead of that we are compelled to respect them, due to fear that we'd get accused of insulting someone's religion. being strongly discouraged from challenging beliefs, because if we'd do we'd get called "racist"(yeah, i know, ridiculous, but some of them really call you racist if you don't show any form of empathy for their belief), and if we dare then we would risk that some religious fundamentalists would take serious offence and make a fuss when their beliefs are challenged( for example the reaction that arouse after the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in Jyllands-Posten).
by all means, i do not say that we should completely abolish the idea of respect/existence for religion and the religious, but demanding to let religions reside on an elevated pedestal, shielded from criticism and arguments that we'd be vigorously applying to any other form of truth claims, is simply asking too much, as i don't see where you'd be deserving to get such special rights, those still existing special rights for the religions and religious are simply not defeated because the mere possibility that some religious zealots might take serious offence by it, and due to that would thanks to blind rage make a serious ruckus and endanger other people's life, generally sets people in fear. there is nothing more annoying and endangering than the vengeful spirit of a fundamentalist.
ps: i don't know why i posted this in the islam thread, this thread seems to be more suited for my post, so =S
I said maybe, baby. But I just don't know.

right. what about the middle age? where the christians burnt everything that was conforming to their little "holy" book?
what about the muslims who kill people daily in the name of their religion. the so-called holy war. funny.

The religion itself is not teaching them to do that, it is there own ignorance and twisted perception of their religion that causes them to do it. The few parts of certain religions (Christianity) that do promote that kind of behavior are not the main focus of it's teachings, and were most likely written in long after the original text by religious officials as a way to control people to suit their own needs. It is the individual's choice whether to follow the part that tells them to look down upon or harm others, or to follow the part that says to tolerate everyone and be the best person that you can be. Religion doesn't start wars or hurt people; ignorance, selfishness, stupidity, mental instability, or any combination of those does.
Because I have nothing better to do with my life
Pretty much all religion sucks ass. There's been too many wars (and still is) because of it, and i seriously can't see a single little benefit with it either. Why should we follow books that are thousands of years old in these times? It's not just the extremists that's the problem, there's tons of hindus that don't believe in healthcare because of their religion. The kids that are born with four arms or two heads are being greeted as gods, and receive no help for their condition whatsoever, causing them to die at a young age.
And to all people saying that we cant blame war on religion.
Not all wars can but all too many can.
Sure it's true that sometimes it's a pure scapegoat to hide the real reason behind the war.
But! What if they didn't have that scapegoat? What if they suddenly couldn't unite their people by saying:
"Deus le volt!" (God Wants it). Theres a chance of course that they could just brainwahs their people in some other way but...
Religion is intolerance, and to all that say different...
According to a Time/CNN poll from 2002, 59 percent of Americans believe the events in the
book of Revelation will take place.
Whats in that thing then? The rapture is in there, meaning that 59 percent of the americans think that all non-christians will be left behind to burn and live through torture on the earth while they themself are up in heaven laughing their asses off.
And don't say extremist again cause first of all i said 59%.
Second of all Religion is a safe place for these extremist. Why? Cause we allow it to be so.
We can't just take these extremist down because they're most likley protected by your country's
freedom of religion, it's legal too do a lot of stuff as long as you do it in the name of religion.
Like revoking the right to freedom of speech: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy
We don't really need these things that was mostly made up to stop the people to rise up in arms against their own in the old ages. If you really wanna be religous however, make up your own religion. You could probaly make a better one between commercials. One that is actually adapted to our time, and doesn't require us to overlook some parts like... well heres a bunch any ways: http://www.evilbible.com/Evil%20Bible%20Quotes.htm.
There's a special place in hell for spoiler whores.
religion is simply misused by a lot of people.. but it is not to blame..more likely people are to blame for their being selfish and lack of love...
di ako akalaing... ganun pala siya ka-gan-da.. nyahaha!
I'm not quite sure why people seem to lack the knowledge about those holy scripts. There are quite some very intriguing verses in it that shouldn't be ignored and also, even if they were added later on, shouldn't be underestimated when a monotheist starts to spread its evils around the globe.
Even if 99% of the book propagates love and compassion, 1% is enough to nullify all of those lovely godly and peaceful verses.
I said maybe, baby. But I just don't know.
Religion is mainly a tool for those in power to please there greedy corporate masters, and lame ass war profiteers.

Good point there,but aint it just all excuses?just blaming religion for everything,its just a form of self-gratification.it does not matter if they are extremist or whatever,to find justification in what they doing in whatever they are doing,be it mass murder or arsony.it just plain simpler to turn to something in which a number of people already believe in.there is a higher chance that people might actually believe you.picture this,the muslims who claim jihad,they might be just extracting revenge on the U.S for bombing their cities.but if they go out and say its for revenge,in all seriousness,who gonna support them?maybe within their own country,but what if u have something thats world wide?something millions of people around the world already believe in.claim jihad and their reach is longer.maybe some extremist muslim in some other country might actually believe the stuff they say.better to have ur hand in a lot of cookie jars rather than just one.
simply put,its like a gun,it can be used as a tool for protecting yourself,a deterrent from harm or it can be used to kill.when it come a time to use it.its you who pulls the trigger.when when you do,can you go out and say,"its the gun that told me to fire?"well yes you can say that but wouldnt that be a load of crap?wouldnt it sound like just an excuse?
thats why i said people should just blame themselves.i am not a big fan of religion but even to me blaming religion sounds like bull to me.an excuse.similar to saying "blame my parents for the reason i was born"

text: This is a reminder of the upcoming planned power outage. Please review and distribute as appropriate. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV) has been notified by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) that the planned power outage has been rescheduled for the weekend of January 17-20, 2014. Certain TxDMV computer systems will be down from 6:00 p.m., Friday, January 17, through 7:00 a.m., Monday, January 20 (CST). This planned outage is due to the necessary replacement and maintenance of TxDOT backup power systems, increasing the overall reliability of those systems going forward. We are asking all customers and stakeholders to plan appropriately to minimize the impact of the outage. WebAgent (WebSub and WebDealer) Impact WebAgent-Subcontractor (WebSub) will be unavailable and subcontractors will not be able to complete registration renewals during the outage. Subcontractors who normally submit batches and payment on Sunday evenings may complete this task Friday before 6:00 p.m. or on the following Monday. Notification of this outage will be placed on the WebSub log in page. TxDMV will notify Fiesta, HEB, Kroger, Randall's, and Tom Thumb corporate staff of the outage dates. Counties should notify their subcontractors of the outage to ensure all WebSub users are aware. In addition, dealers participating in the WebDealer Pilot will be unable to complete title transactions during the outage. Pilot Counties should notify their dealers who are using WebDealer that the application will be unavailable until 7:00 a.m. Monday. RTS Impact We anticipate that the Registration and Title System (RTS) will not be affected by the power outage. Counties should conduct RTS workstation closeout activities as usual on the afternoon of Friday, January 17. However, if RTS experiences an outage unexpectedly, you will be able to complete registration renewals and some title transactions using RTS mainframe down. Title transactions that may be processed in mainframe down are transfers of new vehicles and vehicles not previously titled in Texas. If you complete work in RTS using mainframe down, you will need to close out that workstation on Monday morning. Counties working on Saturday in mainframe down and closing out on Monday will need to run the substation summary and countywide for Saturday's date in order for the totals to appear on the correct date. The totals will reflect as Monday work if Saturday's date is selected for the substation summary and countywide reports. The Batch and Funds Remittance report will be available as usual on Monday morning. While we do not anticipate an RTS impact during this power outage, please be prepared in the event of any unexpected down time. IVTRS Online Renewal Impact We expect that IVTRS, the online registration renewal system for the motoring public, will be available during the power outage. Impact to Other Systems eTags. The application used by dealers to print temporary tags, eTags, will be unavailable during the outage. Dealers will be asked to follow their Internet Down procedure during the outage. A separate communication to the dealer community will notify them of this outage. VTN & VTP. These systems will be available during the outage. This means vehicle owners will be able to place vehicle transfer notifications (VTN) on the motor vehicle record and new vehicle owners will be able to print five-day vehicle transit permits (VTP) using the online application. Specialty Plates. Customers will be able to check personalized plate availability and place orders for specialty plates using the TxDMV.gov or My Plates.com websites during the outage. MVINet. Users of the online motor vehicle record inquiry system MVINet will be able to query motor vehicle records during the outage. Tow truck companies, auto yards, insurance companies, and motor vehicle dealers are examples of entities that use MVINet. We apologize for any inconvenience this outage may cause you and appreciate your support as we upgrade our systems. In the event that the systems come up earlier than planned, we will notify you so that the impact to your operation is minimized. Thank you, Randy Elliston, Director Vehicle Titles and Registration Division Texas Department of Motor Vehicles If you have any comments or suggestions concerning this VTR communication process, please contact your local TxDMV Regional Service Center. If you would like to see previous postings from the "VTR Electronic Archives," please visit http://extlists.txdmv.gov/pipermail/vtr-tac/.

Bucks offer unique new ticket feature this season
The Milwaukee Bucks announced the "Cheer the Future" ticket plan, a unique offer that makes it easier than ever for fans to attend all Bucks home games this season and beyond. Under the new package, fans who buy a "Cheer the Future" season ticket plan in select locations for 2014-15 are eligible to receive steep discounts – even free tickets – on the same seats for the 2015-16 season.
A limited number of these packages are available and must be purchased by Sunday, Aug. 31. To learn more about this special offer, visit Bucks.com/CheerTheFuture.
"Milwaukee has such an exciting, engaged community of college students and young professionals," said Wes Edens, co-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks. "We want them invested in everything we're going to accomplish. Making the Bucks accessible to everyone is our priority."
The Milwaukee Bucks have introduced a "Cheer the Future" ticket plan for this season, which will give longtime and new fans an opportunity to reconnect with the Bucks and its new roster led by this year's number on draft pick, Jabari Parker, and last year's first round pick Giannis Antetokounmpo.
This package will allow groups of fans can pool resources and share seats in select locations and the more games attended in the 2014-15 season, the greater the discount for the 2015-16.
Fans that attend at least 30 Bucks games during the 2014-15 season will receive a 50 percent discount off the same seats in 2015-16; those that attend at least 35 games will receive a 75 percent discount; and those that cheer the deer at all 40 home games can attend year two for free.
"We have one of the most exciting teams in basketball right now," Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry said in a statement. "We're going to reclaim the home court advantage. We know our fans are ready to start their journey back now. Once they experience this exciting new brand of Bucks basketball this season, they will be hooked for the second season and beyond."
The announcement follows the sale of the Bucks to a dedicated new ownership group committed to revitalizing and rebranding Bucks basketball with the addition of future Hall of Famer Jason Kidd as coach, and the assembling of one of the league's most exciting groups of young and talented players.
