|69th Annual Sugar Bowl Classic ~ January 1, 2003
It's rare for an untested quarterback not to make game-turning mistakes.
This was not one of those times.
Florida State took the early fight straight to Georgia, but Bruce Thornton's second-quarter interception of a Fabian Walker pass and 71-yard return for a touchdown was just the miscue for which the Bulldogs had been waiting, and they used it as the springboard to victory.
"I wanted to make a big momentum swing," said Thornton, whose touchdown came with Georgia trailing 7-3. "We needed something to happen because they had all the momentum."
The victory put a fitting cap on Georgia's first SEC championship in 20 years. The 13-1 final record placed the Bulldogs third nationally, their highest ranking since 1983.
Florida State (9-5) ended with its most defeats since 1981.
"I'm happy for Mark," FSU coach Bobby Bowden said of his former aide. "But that doesn't overcome my sadness for me."
It might have been different had Rix or McPherson been quarterbacking for the Seminoles. Walker played well early on, throwing a touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin in the second quarter. But he did little after the game-turning pick, and was replaced by Boldin.
"We had to do what we had to do, and things weren't very structured," Bowden said. "The split-second timing wasn't there, and we were just kind of hoping someone would make some plays. We made a couple, but it seemed like we had to work hard for everything we did, and they got it a little easier."
Boldin threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Craphonso Thorpe on the last play of the third quarter to make the score 23-13, but that was as close as the Seminoles got.
Georgia's Billy Bennett kicked the last of his four field goals with 10:39 left, and Florida State's last real chance to at least make it interesting ended when Tim Jennings stopped Boldin on the Georgia 32, three yards short of a first down on a fourth down carry with 6:50 to go.
Georgia, outgained 131-118 in the first half and in control of the ball for only 8:17 with just four first downs, did a better job in the second half, chiefly on the running of Musa Smith.
Smith carried 23 times for 145 yards, 108 after intermission, and earned the Miller-Digby Award as the game's MVP.
"When a defense like ours is playing as good as it did tonight, you have a great kicking game and a running back like Musa Smith, you're going to win a lot of games if you don't mess up," Richt said. "It might have been a little boring. But in a game like this, you'll take boring if that's what wins for you."
Things certainly weren't boring before Thornton's interception.
Florida State, as an eight-point underdog, was leading more than midway into the second quarter and had the ball in Georgia territory with a third-and-six at the Bulldog 34, Walker lofted the ball and Thornton, a junior with only one previous career interception, picked it off and had little trouble negotiating the left sideline for the score.
"I think he (Walker) got a pressure on him," Thornton said.
"Maybe he was trying to throw it away. I just happened to come up and catch the ball."
Four plays later, after a 26-yard punt return by Damien Gary, Georgia had the ball at the FSU 37. The Bulldogs' backup quarterback, D.J. Shockley, came in and wasted no time passing to Terrence Edwards, who had beaten Seminole cornerback Stanford Samuels at the goal line for the touchdowns to make the score 17-7.
That was Georgia's only offensive touchdown of the night, but with a defense that ranked fourth nationally in point allowed, it proved to be enough.
"Coach Richt taught us how to win," Edwards said, "That's what this whole season's been about."
Richt gave credit to Bowden for teaching him how to coach a winning team. "Coach Bowden is just one of the best men I've ever known," Richt said. "We just had to play against him, and no matter who you play you want to win."
"They made it a great game until the very end."
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

It is my second offense and I am on dosa what is the likelihood of my DUI getting dropped to a negilant driving or wreckless driving I blew .015. Will my dosa get revoked my po hasn't violated me.
First it is absolutely necessary to know if you mean .015 or .15. There is a huge difference there, I assume you mean .15 as it would be unlikely (not unheard of) for the State to file a case wherein that low of breath test was measured on someone over 21.
Also, it is necessary to know whether your first offense was within 7 years or outside of seven years because if it is within 7 years and your charge occurred in King County, it is extremely unlikely your case will be reduced unless there is a significant evidentiary issue. Even if your prior is outside of seven years it will be very unlikely you will obtain a negligent driving or reckless driving without a huge evidentiary problem for the government. You may want to explore the possibility of a deferred prosecution, but you need to consult with an experienced DUI attorney and Chemical Dependency Professional before entering into that option.
It is likely you are going to face some problems regarding your DOSA due to the new alcohol allegation. It is advisable you obtain an experienced DUI lawyer right away. There is also much more information that would be necessary to gather to fully understand your predicament.See question
It's been about three months since the incident. I am just now failing the drug test.
I am not certain you have been found guilty of a Marijuana DUI, have been charged with it, only arrested for or if you are on pre-trial conditions of release but if you don't complete the alcohol/drug treatment as part of the court's sentence the court can impose some of the suspended jail time, subject you to further alcohol/drug treatment, revoke part of the fines or take other actions as part of issuing sanctions.
It is in your best interests to complete the alcohol drug treatment prescribed by the treatment provider. If you are simply talking about a dirty UA, you would want to be forthcoming with the court about your use of alcohol or marijuana even though you have, ostensibly, been restricted from using.See question

As my colleagues have echoed, 30 mph over the speed limit is going to get you stopped every time and any judge will find that to be a reasonable basis for the stop. Regardless of when and where you normally drink, if your BAC was .12 it is very difficult to tell you the likelihood of "beating" the DUI. It will take an experienced DUI attorney to sit down with you and ask some more questions to give you an idea of your chances.

It's certainly not too late. Many times lawyers are retained the week of a first hearing (arraignment). It's advisable you have an attorney at that first hearing to ensure no conditions out of the ordinary are placed upon you. Keep in mind that from the date of arrest you only have 20 days to request an administrative hearing to challenge the suspension of your license (that telephonic hearing is separate for your upcoming court date). Feel free to contact me to discuss any of your questions.See question

Good for you for complying with the IID requirements and having no positives, I hope your program/treatment is going well. I always tell my clients, it doesn't hurt to ask DOL and the court, all they can say is no, but in this instance I agree fully with the previous couple of answers. The DOL is the agency that controls the imposition of the IID and the length it is required. You can ask, but the chances of having it removed are slim to none.See question
Annual event, Seafair, is a big party. But if I'm anchored can I be cited?
Each case is different, if I were on the boat with you and you were drinking, I would suggest you not get behind the wheel if it is anchored or seat yourself in the captain's chair as you would inevitably draw attention from the numerous patrols. That being said, it would be interesting to me if you were cited while anchored, but you could be cited by these patrols just to give you some trouble and make you go through the process.See question

Most judges will allow individuals, especially parents of a minor child to address the court prior to sentencing. Make sure and let the attorney representing your child know of your wishes. I highly doubt the court would deny you the ability to address it. I don't believe the marital status woudl affect the court's decision, but you would want to be sure and not verbally disrespect the court or others while offering your thoughts. Good luck.See question

The simpliest answer is that it will be a discretionary decision by the border agent. Although a Neg 1 doesn't specifcally prevent your entry into Canada, it would be up to the individual agent to make the decision regarding entry. Just keep in mind, you could be denied entry, so make plans ahead of time in case that happens.See question

With four prior DUIs, if you are convicted of this most recent DUI you are in serious jeopardy of having a judge impose the maximum penalty even though given your question it looks like the minimum jail time is 30 or 45 days in jail plus electronic home monitoring/detention. You really really really need the help of an experienced DUI attorney. I would need further information to evaluate your case, i.e. what court is it in, have you completed a Deferred Prosecution previously, etc.
Feel free to give me a call for a free consultation/case evaluation.

Well, you have a number of issues, but if your attorney is handling the appeal for you, you are probably in good hands. Field sobriety tests (FSTs) are voluntary according to case law; however, surprisingly some judges will say they are not even when the case law is rock solid! These same judges will only entertain a challenge to the admissibility of FSTs if the individual was coerced into taking them or they were taken under duress. When an individual with a badge and a gun tells you to do something, most of us do. Even when the officer says "if you don't take them, you'll be placed under arrest" to some judges this isn't coercion, so good luck, I hope the superior court follows the case law!See question

Does the Medium Matter? The Relations among Bankruptcy Petition Filings, Broadtape Disclosure, and the Timing of Price Reactions
- Abstract
- Full Text PDF
- Author(s): Mark C. Dawkins, Linda Smith Bamber
- Published: Dec 17, 2002
- Pages: 1149-1163
Drawing on a comprehensive sample of 330 bankruptcy petition filings from 1980 to 1993, we find that most of the market reaction does not occur on the bankruptcy petition filing date when the information becomes publicly available. Rather, most of the reaction occurs when news of the bankruptcy filing is more widely disseminated via the Broadtape. This "Broadtape announcement effect" persists after controlling for firm size, exchange listing, and predisclosure information. These are primarily timing differences since abnormal returns cumulated over an 11‐day window centered on the filing date do not differ significantly across Broadtape disclosure date classifications.

The last time Manchester United surrendered the English Premier League title was with almost the last kick of the 2011-2012 campaign. This time, the crown fell from its grip in mid-January. It creeps now into an off-Broadway production: the desperate race for fourth.
After another loss - this time 3-1 to Chelsea - it is all receding for United and David Moyes: the title, a Champions League place and the evolutionary principle laid down by Alex Ferguson. The FA Cup has gone too, at the third-round stage. This week brings a League Cup semi-final second leg, with United trailing Sunderland 2-1. Failure to prevail would deprive it of a daunting Wembley final against Manchester City, which leads West Ham United 6-0.
This is not turbulence. This is about starting all over again. The idea that United would pass like a well-kept Rolls-Royce from Ferguson to Moyes is not worth even debating. The most successful club of the past 20 years is not undergoing adjustment difficulties.
The removal of Ferguson's managerial genius has exposed the team and the owners to merciless scrutiny. There is no need to complicate what we see: too few players who can match the quality on show at City, Chelsea, Arsenal and, increasingly Liverpool, which is six points clear of United in the fourth Champions League place.
City has scored 63 league goals to United's 36. Moyes' men have the fewest points at this stage of any United team since the Premier League brought Year Zero to the English game. City, on the other hand, has reached 100 goals in all competitions faster than any team since the league's inception.
There is more. When Chelsea needed to replace the veteran (Samuel Eto'o), who forced a hat-trick past United's disjointed defence, it sent on Fernando Torres, a £50 million ($93.4 million) striker. When Jose Mourinho wanted to shut the game down he took the wrapping off Nemanja Matic, re-bought last week for £21 million.
At City and Arsenal, too, the bench hums with talent. In the absence of Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie - which would be grievous for any manager, any club - there is simply not the depth of talent in United's squad to compensate for the upheaval of Ferguson standing down and Moyes needing time fully to appreciate United's attacking tradition.
Confining the analysis to this 3-1 defeat, you would say United's back four is not functioning as a single entity and is vulnerable to pace and set-piece play. On the right, Antonio Valencia is combative but lacks a gift for the unexpected. Ashley Young, meanwhile, contributes in flashes but is not consistently threatening, while Danny Welbeck is a level down from Rooney and van Persie.
When an 18-year-old (Adnan Januzaj) is your lone conjurer, the time has come to acknowledge a creativity deficit, especially when Shinji Kagawa, an unused substitute here, is not trusted against a Chelsea midfield that grew in number as the afternoon wore on.
Without its two top-class strikers, United is trying to close the gap on Arsenal and City with its most mediocre midfield in decades and two full-backs who invite opposition attacks.

The Latinos Of Silicon Valley
A great article by Giovanni Rodriguez in Forbes (The Latinos Of Silicon Valley) describes with ease the role that Latinos are playing in the Silicon Valley. He mentions Rebecca and I as emerging leaders. We're thrilled to see a community of new leaders emerging in the Silicon Valley and to be considered among them. But truly, our team makes all of this possible.
I wanted to expand on the article with my point of view and explain why his article matters so much.
The Latinos of Silicon Valley –– We are about technology. We are like a startup. We are about the world. (Giovanni Rodriguez in a Forbes article dated May 11th 2013)
We've been in the Silicon Valley for well over a decade. We came directly to Stanford after a full year of traveling abroad. Over the years, we've learned that the Valley can be fun, unpredictable, exciting, rewarding and sometimes even heartbreaking. There's a reason why people from all over the world come here –– it all boils down to an insatiable feeling of curiosity and the unstoppable need to create something, to put a ding in the universe, as Steve Jobs would say.
I've always been curious about the most random things. As a kid I wondered what would happen if I used my dad's computer. I reformatted the hard drive and it took him hours to restore it. It was thrilling and scary at the same time. I wondered about luck and class differences. As a kid I was acutely aware of the socioeconomic differences we had to face as a family. I think experiencing that and being aware of it has helped me strive for something better throughout my life. I was part of the have-nots and though it was tough, I enjoyed being the underdog and rising above it –– and still do.
I wanted to know more but I didn't know where to start. My mom was pivotal, as she implanted the seed of curiosity by filling the gaps of knowledge with new and mesmerizing facts and stories about far away lands. Even though I had a great coach, after a while the oppressive environment with a revolving door of presidents and coups brought me down, so I stopped looking and I became a follower. But thankfully not for long. It was hard because it meant being completely aloof and putting my head down, which has never been one of my strengths, so I started looking again.
When I arrived to the Silicon Valley, everything changed –– not overnight but it was a pretty fast transition. I took up computer science, though I'd never programmed in my life and I was lucky enough to get an internship at Sun Microsystems. I didn't know anyone but as things happen here, we met a super cool guy who happened to be a director of marketing at Sun and he happened to be looking for interns. Plus I happened to be persistent. I worked Saturdays and Sundays at the office. I was thankful that they would let me come to the office on the weekend and also surprised that not many people did, except the director.
My family's emphasis on education, hard work and risk-taking was a great platform where to stand. Then I came here, to the Silicon Valley, as an outsider and now I feel part of the fabric of it. The platform my family built helped me stand tall and face challenges, accept failure and to always strive to be better. I believe we have a big responsibility to open up doors and to build up our presence in business, technology and innovation.
As Giovanni said in his article, we "expect others — Latinos and non-Latinos alike — to begin investing. For one of the most remarkable things about Silicon Valley is that it is fast emerging as one of the world's new melting pots."

Half-million in Philippines flee Typhoon Rammasun
MANILA — A typhoon blew out of the northern Philippines on Wednesday, having caused at least 20 deaths, knocked out power in entire provinces, damaged two parked jetliners and forced nearly half a million people to flee from its lethal wind and rain, officials said.
The eye of Typhoon Rammasun made a late shift away from Manila, but its peak wind of 93 mph and gusts as high as 115 mph forced down trees and electric posts and ripped off roofs across the capital of 12 million people that largely shut down before the deluge.
Although Rammasun packed far less power than Typhoon Haiyan, haunting memories of last year's horrific storm devastation prompted many villagers to move rapidly to safety at the prodding of authorities. Of the half a million people affected by Rammasun, more than 423,000 fled to emergency shelters, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council.
In a shantytown at the edge of Manila Bay, hundreds of people fled when strong winds started to tear tin roofs off shanties. Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada said his city staged anti-disaster drills two weeks ago to prevent deaths during a catastrophe, and he was relieved that only a few residents suffered injuries.
Although the low toll has been attributed to the typhoon skipping Manila, Estrada believed the public's greater awareness of anti-disaster maneuvers saved many lives. He acknowledged that the wind and rain weren't as deadly as many feared and said it was a good time for people to hone survival skills.
"It was like a drill," Estrada said.
Officials reported at least 20 deaths elsewhere, mostly people pinned by falling trees and electrical posts. A fire volunteer died when he was hit by a block of concrete while hauling down a Philippine flag in suburban Pasig city, said Francis Tolentino, chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.
Three fishermen were reported missing in Catanduanes, near Albay province, where Rammasun made landfall late Tuesday.
At Manila's international airport, the left wing of a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 was damaged when strong gusts pushed it against a bridge passageway, manager Angel Honrado said. No one was injured.
Another parked jetliner reportedly had minor damage.
There were no estimates of damage in communities that lost power and telephone connections. Polangui Mayor Cherilie Mella Sampal said 10,000 of the 80,000 residents in her town abandoned their homes before the typhoon.

COLUMBUS, Ohio-- Saint Louis head coach Rick Majerus' first recruiting class started with seven players. Four years later, just four remained. One helped the program from the bench in shirt and tie and one is currently a junior. The other two, Brian Conklin and Kyle Cassity, became the defacto leaders faces of the program.
On Sunday afternoon, as the seconds ran out on the Billikens' season, it marked the end of an era in SLU basketball for Conklin and Cassity.
Ruben Cotto, Willie Reed, and Brett Thompson all left the program for varying reasons. Femi John suffered a career-ending knee injury, but would remain a voice around the program throughout his SLU tenure. Kwamain Mitchell faced a setback that required him to sit out a year. All the while, Conklin and Cassity matriculated through the system, earned their degrees early, and began working on their Masters in Business Administration.
So when Conklin took the podium for the final time yesterday, the ever-calm and composed senior simply couldn't hold back. He had been through too much in his time at SLU to not let his emotions show.
"Coach has done so much," Conklin said, sobbing into a blue NCAA-logoed microphone. "Being his first recruiting class, he told me that we were going to help him build something special here. And it felt like this year it really came together, and Kyle and I, Kwamain, we were able to take what Coach taught us."He's a great coach. I couldn't imagine playing for a better coach, a better person. He doesn't just teach you about basketball, it's about life. And he's a great figure for the community and for the city, and he's really brought Saint Louis basketball to where it is right now, bringing in great guys.
"We all love each other in that locker room. And he just knows how to read a person and he brings us all together and we buy into his system because it works, and it brought us this far this year. And you know they've got a great nucleus coming back next year and they're going to be a really tough team, really tough guards, because it's the guy that's leading it."
Cassity, who was featured in the Billikens' system for three years, played just one minute on Sunday. A career full of ups-and-downs was over, and although his eyes welled red with tears, a positive outlook still remained.
"There's nothing we can hang out heads about," Cassity said. "It's tough to lose, but we went out guns blazing."
To realize why emotions rode so high, you'd have to know more about the two seniors.
It was an unlikely pair. Conklin was from Eugene, Ore. and grew up a diehard Oregon fan. Cassity starred at Pinckneyville (Ill.) High School and hails from Tamaroa, Ill., a small town with a population of 737.
Majerus had handpicked the two for one another. He told Conklin that he had his future best friend already committed, which eventually turned out to be the case. So much so that Cassity will be one of Conklin's best men in his wedding later this year.
Although the 64-year-old coach has had plenty of players affect his life over the years, but when he took to the stage first on Sunday in Columbus, he couldn't get very far. He sounded exhausted and out of breath. The last ten minutes had been spent with two of the first players he ever brought to SLU's campus.
"I don't want you to think I'm out of breath or anything," Majerus said fighting back tears. "It's just very emotional for me with Kyle and Brian. You get attached to kids. I'll see them again, not in the capacity that they're in now."
Perhaps it was the fact that they were part of his first recruiting class. His emotions were also likely enhanced by both of them receiving all-conference academic honors, something he values more heavily than basketball talent. Whatever it was, it was genuine. Those were the types of kids Majerus wishes he had every time around.
In fact, coming up four points short against Michigan State was a bit of a microcosm for the program. The Spartans were superior at every position and on a whole much more talented. As Conklin noted, SLU players generally aren't five, four, or even three-star players coming out of high school, but they work as a cohesive unit.
Cassity believed that the Spartans rivaled Duke as perhaps the Billikens toughest opponent over his four-year career. A bunch of players who have bought into Majerus' system, however, made it a very close ballgame.
"That's probably not the first game that has happened to us," Cassity said. "It happens a lot. We're not the most talented team, we're not the most athletic team, we're not the quickest team. But we're normally the better team."
After reaching the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2000 and winning a tournament game, the 2008 recruiting class seems to have provided a strong foundation for the program to grow for the future.
"I hope so," Cassity said about leaving the program in better shape than it was when he arrived. "I really do. When we got here we were Coach's first class. It's kind of a building block. We were starting something new at Saint Louis University. Hopefully that winning tradition kind of sticks around for a while. These guys, they're hard workers. They'll be back next year, I'm sure. No doubt about that."
With recruits Jared Drew and Keith Carter coming in, the pipeline looks to be in store for several years of success to come.
Cassity and Conklin had to ride through the bumpy years first in order to make Sunday possible. They had made it to the end , and that's what made this time so difficult.
"What I'd do to get one more year to stick around and play," Cassity said with a wide smile. "That's for sure."

Churchill is a small, northern community with a lot of character; big-chain hotels or gourmet restaurants won't be found here. Visitors will, however, find warm down-home hospitality and clean, comfortable hotels with all the amenities. Staying in town allows you to walk to and from different venues, spend some time on your own, and, perhaps, meet some of the locals.
Churchill is located along the treeline of the northern edge of the boreal forest, and attracts arctic and boreal species of wildlife, birds, and plants. Commonly seen species include arctic and red foxes, arctic hare, caribou, gyrfalcons, snowy owls, ptarmigan, and, in the summer (June-Aug), beluga whales.
Additional Notes:
It's unwise to wander the streets of Churchill at night as bears occasionally enter the town. Local vehicles and houses are usually left unlocked, so if you do meet an animal, then take cover immediately in a calm and orderly fashion. Polar bears are predators and should never be approached on foot. Don't be tempted to feed the bears, it is punishable by an instant fine and it's also extremely dangerous.
Included Activities:
Eskimo Museum
Town and Historical Tour
Plane (2.00 hour(s))
Private Vehicle
Polar bears begin to swim ashore in mid-July. In October they begin to gather in numbers along the coast, waiting for pack ice to form over the Hudson Bay, at which point the bears disappear in search of seals. Churchill's 'bear season' begins in early October and lasts until early November.
Known as the "Lords of the Arctic," these spectacular animals are massive with the average male polar bear growing to more than 600kg (1,320 lbs) and standing 3.05m (10 ft). While large, they are surprisingly quick and have great agility. The bears have a highly acute sense of smell and are skilled hunters - able to pick up a scent from more than 30km (19 mi) away. They can even detect the presence of seals under 3 ft (.9m) of snow and ice. Polar bears have no natural enemies and no fear of other animals (including humans).

Planting a Brighter Future
If I could earn a living doing what I love the most then I would start my own nonprofit business so my staff, volunteers and I could help towns and cities all over the world to establish their own community gardens. My nonprofit would also serve individuals and families by giving them the necessary tools and information to begin their own home gardens, via garden starter kits mailed directly to their homes, thus helping people to lead a more satisfying and self-sustainable lifestyle. To make this dream a reality I am starting now by working towards my first goal of earning a bachelors degree in Environmental Studies and Spanish. While attending Central Michigan University for this degree I am also taking classes in nonprofit business and leadership. I am currently the Co-President of Campus Grow, a gardening club on CMU's campus and continue to learn from this position every day. My next goal to bring my plans closer to becoming a reality is to serve for two years in the environmental section of the Peace Corp. I think this would give me great experience in the field and boost my ability to form a business around that type of work. I would feel as though I was not working a single day of my life if I could earn a living physically helping others around the world to turn the dirt surrounding them into a means of leading a happy, healthy and self-sustainable life.

At 3:01 Baltimore County 911 center received a call for an apartment fire at 37 Tentmill Lane, Pikesville Maryland.
Crews arrived to find fire in a second floor apartment and were faced with multiple residents still in the apartments. Fire crews and Baltimore County Police assisted in extricating and rescuing multiple residents.
Two residents were transported to Northwest Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
The fire involved 4 units and displaced about 20 residents. Red Cross is on scene assisting with the displaced residents.
The cold weather and icing conditions complicated fire department operations, and salt trucks assisted on scene. The cause and origin are under investigation. Updates will be provided as they become available.

The cruciform pan captures the imagination and leads the worshipper to a contemplation of the sacrificial love of God revealed in the death of Christ. The symbolism also is emphasized by two crosses on the outside of the building. One is on the lantern tower, a slender spire sometimes called a fléche, located on the roof over the crossing of the nave by the transepts. The other is a stone cross on the south façade of the chapel above the large narthex window over the entrance doors.
Historically, the tower was used for protection and refuge as well as the location of the church bell. The tower is on the southeast corner of Lois Perkins Chapel.

Jenis Valda Glickardus was born in New York City in 1910. Before age two, he was admitted to the New York Foundling Hospital as James Glickardus. In the autumn of 1912, he traveled by train to Butte, Nebraska, to meet his foster parents, Henry and Mary Sommer. The Sommers named him Albert James Sommer, and adopted him in 1930.
After high school graduation, Albert sold petroleum products in Osmond, Nebraska, and married Dorothy Bolender in 1940. During World War II, he served with the First Infantry Division in Europe. After his military discharge in 1946, the Sommers moved to Norfolk, Nebraska, and Albert worked as a veteran's service officer for Madison County. He died in 1990.
For his journey on the orphan train, James Glickardus (who would become Albert Sommer) wore this numbered armband. The typed identification tag was sewn into his clothing. He also wore these mittens and socks on the train.

There are many ways to update your views when your server- or client side business logic changes. The strategy you find me usually recommending is the ModelLocator strategy, which leverages the Flex binding feature. See Steven Webster's article for more information.
Basically, your views bind to properties that are retrieved from your ModelLocator. These properties can be changed from your Commands, other business logic or other views and once changed; all listening views are updated seamlessly.
Since many of the Cairngorm examples out there are meant to be easy to understand, they often just show these properties exposed as single properties on the ModelLocator. Once your RIA grows in size, this indeed can be quite limiting. I'll showcase another Cairngorm sample application that focuses on how you can improve your architecture with investing in slightly more advanced business logic. The sample application is a stock market dashboard that allows users to retrieve price quotes on a company stock. From time to time I'll add features to this application, to showcase some possible ways to architect a Cairngorm application. This version of it will use Cairngorm for Flex 2 Beta 3.

WLAN limited access by Vendor
Hi all,
I have this problem.
In past I've configured WLAN with PSK, then another WLAN with 802.1x authentication. Now I need to restrict PSK WLAN for Nokia only (I've spent a lot of time, but no chance to start PEAP (MSCHAP v2) working with Nokia, but it's another story and I blame Symbian).
But these days I would like to force people to stop using the PSK WLAN and let only Nokia people allowed.
I don't know how to limit access to this WLAN.
I was thinking about some Vendor filter, but don't know how to implement.
MAC address filter is out of discussion, because I don't want to put all the possible MAC addresses, and I didn't find how put a MAC address range in WLC (single MAC address filter I use).
So, any help will be appreciated.
Thank you very much

In my experience, if you are OK with a periodic pg_dump for your primary backup technique, then the data is just not that important to you. And if you drop and re-create a table from pg_dump output, that event is worth noting -- I would rather see the timestamp of applying the pg_dump output. When it comes to forensics, why don't we feel that it is worth preserving next available xid and every tuple's xmin and xmax through pg_dump? I don't think we should, but the arguments against trying to do it seem similar to me. They are newly created tables when you run the SQL generated by pg_dump, with fresh rows and indexes. To pretend otherwise seems to me to reduce the value of the feature. On the other hand, having one central way to deal with it for all object types seems to increase the value of the feature. -Kevin

Pink Creates New Family Portrait with 'True Love' [VIDEO]
When it comes to Pink's marriage to motor cross pro Carey Hart, I'm always suspect of trouble in paradise. They seem to play out 'irreconcilable differences' so well in her music videos. But its a family affair including the couple's daughter Willow in the clip for Pink's new song 'True Love'.

Publishing, and by extension publication, is in a state of rapid flux. This has become evident in recent years, and some have now even characterized the domain as unstable, with the traditional forms of publication no longer being sustainable.
The focus of
A recent report, entitled
Digital is the single greatest area of growth, but most information companies are searching for the right strategy;
The industry is not sustainable in its present form—distribution channels and business models need to be revamped;
Personalized data, hailed only a few years ago, is now being overtaken by "gamification" with the emphasis on interactivity and mobility, and illustrating just how fast the technology is moving.
One of the biggest consumers of publications has been libraries, particularly academic libraries. Over the last decade, the role that academic libraries played as a repository of knowledge has come under tremendous economic and technological challenges. No longer are academic libraries focused on their traditional mission of being a supporting institution to other academic units. Rather, they are undergoing a transformation to adapt to the changing university campus landscape and, in certain situations, aiming to become the center of scholarly communications. What effect has these trends taken on their content spending? It turns out that this picture is equally cloudy, as academic libraries cannot be treated as a homogeneous group. In a study by Regazzi [
Finally, it is clear from the data available that libraries are generating strong returns in their investments in electronic resources—in particular, e-books and e-serials, which are part of the digital libraries now available in the market-place. Libraries and their institutions have benefitted from these electronic materials acquisitions as measured by reductions in per-unit costs. Though total acquisition costs of e-books and e-serials have increased by 261% and 507% respectively, a 79% decrease in e-book per-unit costs and an 87% decrease in per-unit serial subscriptions have been realized across all libraries in the period 1998–2008. Libraries generally, particularly large academic libraries, continue to increase their spending on publications, while receiving excellent value for these investments.
However in another study, looking at the relative growth of a wider range on public institutions, Regazzi [
As this is a complex funding environment, it is difficult and unwise to draw more conclusions from this preliminary study. There are, however, at least two fundamental questions that will undoubtedly be discussed by academic and university administrators as well as public library and funding executives going forward. These are broadly: are the current strategic directions of libraries sustainable, and are these strategies receiving adequate resourcing.
What is clear from this study is that academic libraries are pursuing a very different strategic direction then public libraries. While academic libraries continue to invest heavily in collection development, albeit moving decisively to electronic collections, public libraries are transitioning their investments from collections per se to community programs and services. Public libraries have been rewarded for this direction with a growth of 35%, or more than 2.5 times that of academic libraries, over the period. Academic libraries have grown less and decreased in proportion with their parent university institutions.
On the question of sustainability and adequacy of funding, again we see two very different pictures. Public libraries, at the beginning of the great recession in 2008, received an over funding of revenues to expenses for the year as a group. Moreover public libraries outpaced academic libraries in increased spending in every category of expense, except collection expenditures, and public libraries did not reduce expenditures in any of the expense categories of their library operations. Academic libraries, on the other hand, reduced their expenditures on total staffing and overall operations; the only exception to this was in the case of large academic libraries. As a result, while all but a few public libraries grew their staffs and collections, only large academic libraries were able to grow in both dimensions, with very small and small academic libraries being affected the most adversely and finding themselves needing to reduce both their staffs and their collection development programs.
Though it will require much more analysis and study, it does seem from this initial set of findings that academic libraries need to review their emphasis on collection development, and that very small and small academic libraries in particular, will need to find a more sustainable financial footing going forward.
What do we make of these confounding and perhaps conflicting trends—industry experts proclaiming the unsustainability of our current forms of print and digital publications, while large academic libraries embrace these publications with increasingly larger and larger investments, again while other public institutions experiment with other information and service priorities. I hope that

The TLA Network is thrilled to introduce our new coordinator, Deb Hensley, who is currently working alongside Callid Keefe-Perry, our present coordinator, and will take the reins Nov. 1. Deb is a singer, collaboratively and solo, and she has performed widely with her improvisational singing group, Improvox. A writer, artist and musician, Deb brings to the TLA Network over 20 years' experience designing and directing programs, grants projects, mentoring/coaching, and teacher training, particularly in the field of early education. She's worked extensively with public institutions and non-profit organizations, often focusing on arts-based programs, and she's the author of a number of books for educators and parents. After two decades as an early education professional, she discovered TLA, or as she tells us, "I feel like TLA discovered me. I had been practicing transformative art in my singing life for many years but hadn't really assigned a name to it." She completed her MA in TLA in Goddard College's Individualized MA program in 2011 and has been working as an arts and education consultant. After the Power of Words conference, Deb will be our coordinator, and Callid will transit out of this position and into the role of Chair of the TLA Network Council. Please feel free to drop Deb a line to welcome her at email@example.com, and you can contact Callid at firstname.lastname@example.com to wish him the best in his new adventure as a doctoral student in theology at Boston University.
The following interview was done via email between Deb Hensley and Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg.
Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg: How did you discover TLA, and was it resonance at first sight?
Deb Hensley: Well, in a way, I feel like TLA discovered me. I had been practicing transformative art in my singing life for many years but hadn't really assigned a name to it. When I decided to pursue a masters program at Goddard, TLA jumped up off the page and yelled-me me! Here I am! This is the program for you! Yes–resonance at first sight. I mean, I believe all art is transformative and intrinsically valuable– but I also discovered that joining with a group of dedicated individuals willing to give deep consideration to the implications of what that transformation means was further important work for me–beyond the art itself. I have loved investigating how artistic practice cuts across all vocations and eliminates categories of age, race and rank with which we are taught to separate the world; how it banishes boundaries, and fertilizes both artistic and professional endeavor and builds community.
TLA embraces and defines Daniel Pink's 6 word vision for what he believes professionals and business leaders need to embody in order lead in the coming century in his book A Whole New Mind: Design, Story, Orchestra, Empathy, Play, Meaning. I think he's saying we need to bring artistic elements intentionally into the world of business and commerce and politics. And I don't think that's just a nice option to try. I think it's vital to our survival as a species. The TLA concentration was an excellent platform for exploring this.
CMG: You explore the voice in your singing, writing and art. Could you share what you've been discovering over your life about how opening your voice in one way affects opening it in another (such as how improvisational singing might affect your writing, or how writing might affect "finding your voice" when making a big decision in your life)?
DH: When I started attending to birdsong as a model for re-inhabiting the voice, I paid some serious attention to crows and ravens. Who do not have "pretty" voices. Nor are they cautious about using them. But Me? Over the years I got stuck in a singing voice I believed needed to be "pretty." Thus I had been overly cautious about using it in new and different, OK bigger ways. Moreover, I actually believed my singing voice was truly incapable of being big. I was positive–I mean absolutely convinced I would never be able to truly belt out the blues or hold forth with soulful gospel. But the ravens got me going in the right direction and with them as a model, I began experimenting with new croaks and sounds and ways of letting my voice out. Oh it was just chirpy and weird at first, but it was a start and I made incremental progress.
Just recently I had a big breakthrough. I was asked to sing at a wedding this past spring and one of the songs requested was "At Last" by Etta James. If you know this song you know it's a BIG song. With big soul and big sound. Well I thought–no way. I don't do Etta James. I can't even begin to sing like that. Not even in the shower. I'll just have to do my breathy high-voice-white-girl version and hope for the best.
Concurrently, while practicing with my singing group one day, we were working on a song that needed someone to belt out a really strong note at the end. They decided it should be me. I needed to bend the ending note and hold it out strong like a hot jazz singer. I told my singing mates, not me…can't do it. But they wouldn't let me off the hook right? So–Ok I thought. I'll go for it. And I just opened up my throat and did it. Just like that. (…kudos to the Ravens)
Wow. I couldn't believe at first. There was my voice –doing that thing I never thought it could. I drove home howling. And when I sang at the wedding, I sang "At Last" with that voice. For the first time I sang the blues. I mean I'm no Etta James! But it was wonderful to be set free of that limiting view of myself.
So that is just one example of how opening my voice has been personally and literally transformative. And as you might imagine, it has carried over into other areas of my personal and artistic life as well as my work as an education consultant. For instance, I feel like a far better leader as I arrange and present trainings to teachers. I have been experiencing increased confidence in stating what I need and who I am personally and professionally. I've come forth with bolder ideas and taken bigger risks in my personal and professional life. I have better physical and emotional endurance and care less and less about how I'm perceived by other people. It's more and more about what feels true from the inside out.
CMG: Where do you find replenishment and inspiration in your life?
DH: Praying, singing (alone and with others), writing and a good night's sleep. I also like to play outside and take great inspiration from wild nature. I'm fortunate enough to live near the Maine coast with opportunities to sail and fly and I don't take this for granted. I feel very blessed. I also love love love to ride my bike. I get on my bike and turn immediately into a ten year old. I'm a big believer in what the Early Childhood Ed. world names "primary experiences." When I ride my bike, or sing, or move, or dance, I have those invaluable primary experiences–the real thing. That's when I replenish–when I can live in the primary experience–touching, tasting, smelling, seeing, hearing.
CMG: As a Transformative Language Artist, what do you wish to bring to your community? Can you share an experience of helping others find their voice(s)?
DH: Music and singing creates tribes. It bonds strangers and friends, strengthens and heals family ties and connects people with each another on so many levels. It creates meaning. I just want to keep doing it. I've brought my TLA practice into school groups (High School and College) professional conferences, teaching circles and early childhood communities. Every time we sing–and especially when we create vocal music in the moment, there is an outpouring of delight at rediscovering the joy of spontaneously singing together. I've experienced the joy of bringing improvisational song forms to circles of "singers" and those who perceived themselves as non-singers. Seeing individuals light up with sound and song has been a great source of satisfaction and hope.
One time I was leading a singing circle and there was a woman from Egypt in the group. As we began to sing I noticed tears coming down her cheeks. At the break she came up to me and told me that in her culture and family, singing as a woman, and especially publicly, was looked on very unfavorably and that this singing was the first time she had been able to ever really let her voice out. She expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity and said she was committed to keep doing it.
One time a young woman I know gave her parents the gift of an Improvox Vocal Exploration Workshop for a Christmas present. As she brought her mom and dad into the workshop space it was very clear from the start that her mom was absolutely terrified of singing. As we always do, we did our best to create a safe emotional space and then gently encouraged but never required, participation. Because the improvisational forms we use are non-threatening and created mostly in the moment, she responded almost immediately. Soon she was singing and creating her own music on the spot and completely and utterly delighted about it. We got a three-page thank you letter a few days later expounding on the experience and how meaningful it was to her to find her voice again.
CMG: You name one of your websites, "When did we stop singing?" Can you tell us more of what's behind that question, and what, over recent years, you've been discovering about that question?
DH: I'd love to encourage readers to visit my website: www.whendidwestopsinging.com for the fluffed out version, but for me the question played out something like this: One day I heard about how the medicine man from the Aboriginal culture addresses sickness and depression. He doesn't give drugs. Doesn't offer therapy. He simply asks the person who comes to him for help "When did you stop singing?" The message, of course, is clear. Go back to that point. Figure out why you stopped. Then start again. Start singing.
After I heard this I realized something important was missing in my home, my work place, my social interactions–my life. I began to recognize that I had lost that free and easy singing voice I had as a child. That it had been co-opted by expertism. So I decided it was imperative to re-inhabit it.
At the same time I realized the larger culture we live in–our homes, our work places, our street corners, our classrooms (how sad is that?) our social interactions, our marketplaces, our lives–are largely bereft of spontaneous, open, voluntary singing. So I wanted to do something to contribute toward shifting that.
Interestingly, I've discovered through my TLA work that what I thought was a project in creating songs related to bird music was also and maybe even more importantly, very much about having that "primary experience" I referred to earlier. All art is about primary experiences, of course. But I didn't realize until more recently that answering the question "When did we stop singing?" would be so far reaching. That it would create such relevance to my so called "day job." That it would cause me to inhabit not only my singing voice, but my professional community in a different and far deeper way. Which is the whole point of TLA right? And a very important point I think.
CMG: Some of your work focuses deeply on bird song, and how learning to listen helps us come home to the living earth and to who we are as part of the earth. Could you elaborate on this?
DH: One day I got hold of some old Roger Tory Peterson vinyl birdsong recordings. I put one on our old turntable and the first birdsong to play was the wood thrush. I turned the revolution rate down to 70. Not slow enough. I slowed it further with my finger and listened again. What emerged was so compelling I held my breath– what pure tones and stunning intervals!
From that point on, I made a pact with myself to listen to birds for a whole year and understand what they had to teach me about singing. I learned the reasons they sing, how their double voice boxes allow them to sing duets with themselves and how extensive their repertoires can be. I watched them fly around in my woods filling it with sound and sometimes with silence. I learned how intertwined their songful communities and economies are and how they ebb and flow. I learned their songs as variously, defensive, territorial, plaintive, desire-filled and jubilant. And I watched them just hanging out– bartering beauty for beauty—mostly at dawn, sometimes at dusk and more or less in between.
I learned that their voices constitute their identity as much, if not more, than their feathered bodies do. They sing right on key, and right on purpose, weaving sound patterns into a powerful force field of polyphonic colors. They sing to answer a thousand questions, a thousand dawns, a thousand other birds and simply because they have a song. Moreover they must sing it to survive.
Here's what the birds said to me: If you really want to sing, listen to us first. Look for holes in the fabric of the air and find your own song. Sing that one. That's the one the world needs.
CMG: What have you been creating and focusing on lately? Where do you feel yourself being called in your singing, writing, artwork, etc. in recent seasons?
DH: I'm learning to play the harp, which is so very sweet–with the intention of bringing that instrumentation into my TLA practice and songwriting. I'm also fascinated with the architecture of fiction. So I'm currently pretending to be a novelist, practicing what it feels like to create not only nice characters, but interesting, damnable and quirky ones. Oh and kill people– (…like I said, you might want to edit this…). It's nothing publish-able yet but it's a wonderful practice. I'm currently in the process of starting a collaboration with another female singer/songwriter/dancer and visual artist. We have begun exploring ways to present "the sounding and moving possibilities of the divine feminine" –which is enormously satisfying. Beyond this, my calling is songwriting and leading song circles when I can which is always ongoing.
CMG: What led you to apply to apply for the position of TLA coordinator, and what's your intention, wishes and hopes for your work in this position?
DH: My overarching intention is to carry out the wishes of the TLAN council to the best of my ability. My hope is that together we will continue to distill the focus and mission of TLA and fully define it as "emerging field." I am committed to increasing the membership base, investigating grant-writing opportunities and discovering new fields and venues where TLA might take root. What led me to apply? Instant resonance again. And my love for the arts and how art can transform. A desire to see the concept of TLA succeed and flourish and to be a part of it's evolution and growth. And because it fits into my life as just the right patch in the piecework quilt I'm calling a career.

Layne Roberts, known as "The Doc" on Penn's Peak Radio, said his daily 9-1 Office Party is being "re-invented."
Starting Monday, The Doc will have a co-host, a new format, and even a new name: Doc & Leah with the Daily Bump and Grind.
The show will still air live, Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
"It will be a very eclectric show," said The Doc.
The co-host is Leah Holmes, who will just go by the name "Leah."
Although she has reportedly done extensive work behind the mic, this is her first time co-hosting a live radio show that's simultaneously broadcast on television. It airs on Blue Ridge Cable Digital Channel 113. It can also be heard on Channel 80 of Blue Ridge Cable TV, and streamed onto computers by visiting the Web site at pennspeakradio.com.
What will be especially unique is that every day of the week has a theme. The Doc stressed that there also will still be plenty of country and rock music played on Penn's Peak Radio.
The daily themes will be as follows:
Ÿ Mouth-off Mondays - Doc said, "We invite listeners to call in and gripe about anything they want to get off their chest, so they don't take it out on their co-workers."
Ÿ Edible Tuesdays - Each week a local restaurant will be featured on the show, and the signature dish of the restaurant will be sampled.
Ÿ Intoxicating Wednesday - Doc explained that this is a new feature which involves Beer Magazine.
Ÿ Thursday: Strange New Products - The crew takes a look at some unique items.
Ÿ Freebie Fridays - Any topic can occur.
Leah, a native of Clarks Summit, now resides in the Lehigh Valley.
She said she's looking forward to being a part of Penn's Peak Radio programming. When asked what to expect, she said, "It's off the cuff. You never know what's going to happen so you have to listen."
She stressed that the program will have give-aways.
"We'll have words of wisdom and nonsensical banter," said The Doc. "We have an interesting line-up of guests coming on the show."
The Doc said anyone interested in appearing on Doc & Leah with the Daily Bump and Grind should e-mail email@example.com [1].
"Doc & Leah and the Daily Bump and Grind" on Penn's Peak Radio will be aired 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily on Penn's Peak Radio and on Blue Ridge Cable Digital Channel 113.

Wether or not my prayers will work I will not know. However, the child did not appear injured. Though one of the child's parents could have been hurt. Whatever happened it was a tragic and sad sight.

FancyPants's recommendation
I once dated this artist/hockey player in Toronto. After one very drink filled evening I awoke to his best attempt at breakfast in bed. It was 7 slices of toast, a glass of lukewarm water and a clementine orange. If you are going to be THAT lame, at least stamp a heartfelt sentiment on it. Jerk.

this might be the funniest recommendation i've read all day.ok, it IS the funniest recommendation i've read all day. i especially like the tag "not being lame" - we need more of those types of recommendations!

Who could imagine a better morning than waking to a plate of "I Love You" toast. Surprise your family and friends and they're guaranteed to love you even more.

Nothing says "I love you" better than toast. Think about it...it's sweet, it's warm...it's, um, better with butter. Wait, what? Anyway, this Toast Stamper is awesome. Just press it into a piece of bread (plain white bread works best), remove it, and then toast your bread on your toaster's "dark" setting. The result will be the most romantic toast ever! Toast!

Now you can tell your friends and family how you really feel everytime you make them breakfast. A cute touch to my all time favorite food - toast in the morning. Just stamp onto the bread pre-toast, drop in the toaster, and when it's all done the I <3 you will show up in all of it's glory.

They say the way to a man (or woman's) heart is through the stomach. Why not insure that by making sure the message is clear? Toast stampers stamp message onto toast, but I'm sure you can find other uses for it too. Great way to start off V-day - Toast of love to your health!

DeFever 50 Pilothouse
Built to endure, the impressive DeFever 50 Pilothouse delivers a casually elegant and spacious interior with generously appointed exterior living areas. The pilothouse fulfills the promise of comfort at sea with excellent visibility ahead and abeam. Access to port and starboard side decks and the flybridge is provided, while spiral stairs lead to accommodations below. A raised L-shaped settee with drop-leaf table doubles as a convenient watch berth and appealing retreat for casual dining. The efficient instrument console will accept the owners' choice of electronics with ample space for a fixed helm seat. Rich hand rubbed teak cabin soles, paneling and cabinetry are featured throughout.
The salon is bright and airy with an open floor plan that gives owners the freedom to arrange their selected furniture and entertainment components, or to select built-ins to suit their needs. A standard layout is offered for the galley, but it may be configured to accept additional or optional appliances by removing the stairway from galley to master suite.
The elegant master stateroom is located amidships. A walk-around queen bed with drawer storage below is featured in two optional floor plans. The classic cabinetry and louvered hanging lockers may be complimented by a corner built-in entertainment unit with vanity/desk if the galley stairway is eliminated. The ensuite head features VacuFlush toilet and large separate shower stall. A watertight door grants entrance to the engine room, where 5"6" headroom and maneuverability improve access for maintenance on all systems.
The forward accommodations may be entered from the master stateroom or by stairs leading from the pilothouse. To port is the guest head with Vacuflush toilet and handheld shower wand. To starboard is storage that may be fitted with full size stackable washer and dryer. The guest stateroom forward may be configured with a traditional V-berth and filler, or with single bunks. Plentiful storage is provided with both options.
The integrity of a hand-laid fiberglass hull with gel coat finish, and full keel to protect the heavy-duty underwater running gear is enhanced with safety features and quality components such as molded-in non-skid decks, stainless steel handrails mounted on stainless steel stanchions, and stainless hardware, including cleats, chocks and ports with screens. The coveted pilothouse and Portuguese bridge are trademark DeFever designs. The expansive flybridge can accommodate a large dinghy with davit. A raised L-shaped settee with abundant storage below, cocktail table, and wet bar with icemaker are positioned near the helm station, with space available for two helm seats. The large aft deck, with spacious lazarette and engine room access, may be enclosed to provide even more relaxing living space in inclement weather. The 50 Pilothouse reflects its DeFever heritage with recognizable style, quality construction and comfort at sea.

"All bets are off," says Simon Conway Morris, professor of evolutionary paleobiology at the University of Cambridge.
The first speaker in the four-day seminar I'm attending at Cambridge, Morris gave a dazzling high-speed overview of evolution and convergence -- similar structures arising independently.
How is it, he mused, that the saber tooth tiger of North America was a mammal but the one of South America is a marsupial? That the ability to see or to sing arose independently multiple times? That in birds alone flight evolved three times, maybe four? That the mechanics of walking are similar for the cockroach, the giraffe, you and me?
Evolution is more predictable than people expect at this moment, he said. But don't open the box for intelligent design or creationism and try stuffing him in. Conway Morris accepts -- even led a humorous moment of veneration for -- Charles Darwin, a Cambridge alumnus.
But he's impatient, even annoyed by the limits of labels, calling ID "pernicious." Even the neo-Darwinist label popular with many scientists today is one he shrugs off. Darwinian science, he says, is "a mechanism without predictable ability."
Actually, it sounds more like this: "Fine. Fine. Fine. Neo-Darwinists. Fine. Now let's grow up and move on. Move the discussion forward."
Science, after all is always "unfinished business." Among the areas where we know little: The origins of life and the nature of consciousness. Are all mentalities universal? A broadcast that only awaits our development of the antennae that can pick it up? (Perhaps a God broadcast? Conway Morris stops short of this -- at least here.)
But if consciousness is sensory impressions interpreted by a chemical process, which somehow leads to sentience, to thought, eventually to theology in humans, what about New Caledonian crows? These clever birds make differentiated tools. Are they a few thousand years short of fighting over Calvinist doctrine?
No, says Conway Morris although it's not a slammed-door sort of NO! Remember, his baseline: "All bets are off."
Conway Morris says there is much more than the endless analysis of arrangement and organization that stem from pure Darwinism. Where he usually sets people's heads snapping back with attention is when he announces, "Most of the tree of life is effectively arranged" or "The tree of life was always there. Evolution just fills in the gaps." These are "hypotheses, to be sure," he says, "But now I think there are a few straws in the wind."
His lecture was the first of the nine lectures over the four days for our seminar. We will look initially at the evolutionary roots of religion: What is explained by biology, archeology and other sciences?
Then we"ll move on to discuss what science says -- or doesn't say -- about "religious truth," said Fraser Watts, Fellow and Director of Studies in Theology for Queens College, Cambridge, when he welcomed us to the program the night before.
Conway Morris quickly built a complex case for saying, there's practically no difference between us and other creatures. So, he said, how is it that our differences (who else would come up with skydiving as a sport?) are "absolute and profound? ... Something else is going on ...
The thoughts of things which inspire our imagination, which touch on genuine realities, are not made up stories. Just because we don't understand things doesn't mean they don't exist, he said. "Ethics are pre-determined and a matter of discovery, not a evolved concept."
His book, Life"s Solution: Inevitable Humans in a Lonely Universe, concludes, in part,
... Given that evolution has produced sentient species with a sense of purpose, it is reasonable to take the claims of theology seriously...
Whether we shall always remain entirely ignorant; of what a beetle (or a bat) thinks is open to discussion. Even if we do, the complexity and beauty of life's solution' can never cease to astound. None of it presupposes, let alone proves, the existence of God, but all is congruent. For some it will remain as the pointless activity of the Blind Watchmaker, but others may prefer to remove their dark glasses. The choice, of course, is yours.
To us, he forecast continuing discoveries of new realities, realities there all along. "All bets are off."
That includes the possibility that "one can be gloriously wrong. I don't mind at all. Conway Morris said, "Massive self-confidence is boring."

Paris (ESA) Jan 16, 2013
ESA's Proba-V microsatellite is now assembled and midway through testing to ensure it is fully spaceworthy. The miniature Earth-observer, designed to chart global vegetation every two days, will be launched in April.
The testing at the specialised Intespace facility in Toulouse, France, includes rigorous simulations of Proba-V's take-off conditions and the hard vacuum and temperature extremes it must endure in orbit.
It comes after Proba-V's assembly was completed by prime contractor QinetiQ Space at its facility in Kruibeke, Belgium last month.
Building it was a complex operation. Although smaller than a cubic metre, the satellites carries a wide-angle telescope for its main Earth-monitoring instrument, a pair of radiation sensors, a fibre optic connector experiment, a prototype radio transmitter based on the semiconductor gallium nitride, and a test receiver to track aircraft in flight all around the globe.
Such a crowded payload is standard for ESA's Proba series of satellites, set up to give early space experience to promising new European technologies, especially from smaller companies often lacking easy access to space.
But Proba-V also marks a departure from previous technology demonstrators Proba-1 in 2001 and Proba-2 in 2009. Both later became operational missions once the outstanding performance of their main instruments became clear.
This time around, Proba-V has been conceived as a quasi-operational mission from the start, serving a waiting community of users.
The V stands for Vegetation: the small satellite is flying a miniaturised version of the Vegetation sensor on France's full-sized Spot-5 satellite, intended to extend its nearly 15-year continuous record of observations - dating back to the previous Spot-4 mission, launched in 1998.
There are more than 10 000 registered users of Vegetation products worldwide, and the data have contributed to hundreds of scientific papers.
Despite being much smaller than the original Vegetation instrument, Proba-V's version observes compatible spectral bands while delivering a spatial resolution three times sharper.
Among other firsts for the mission, Proba-V will fly a radio amplifier based on gallium nitride. Often described as the most promising semiconductor since silicon, gallium nitride offers higher power levels and radiation resistance.
Proba-V will also be the world's first space mission to detect Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast signals from aircraft, building up a global overview of air traffic.

Gale, whose Twitter bio says that he is a 'Bachelor' producer, and a woman called Diane are involved in a note-passing battle on a delayed flight and he documents the incident on Twitter.
Elan Gale, who says on his Twitter bio that he is a producer of "The Bachelor", documented a note-passing battle he experienced on a delayed flight during Thanksgiving on Twitter, garnering hot reaction from his followers. Gale was on a plane on Thursday, November 28 when the crew announced the flight was delayed. Being upset at the prospect of missing her time with family, a woman called Diane made a complaint to the flight attendant.
"Our flight is delayed. A woman on here is very upset because she has Thanksgiving plans. She is the only one obviously. Praying for her," Gale wrote. "The male flight attendant said 'I understand ma'am. I'm looking forward to seeing my family too.' She responded 'This isn't about you,' " Gale continued.
After the plane finally took off, Gale decided to send a glass of wine to the woman with a note attached. "Dear Lady in 7A, It has come to my attention that today is your 'Thanksgiving!' It must be hard to not be with your family. Please accept this glass of wine. It is a gift from me to you. Hopefully if you drink it, you won't be able to use your mouth to talk. Love Elan," he wrote. He later delivered two bottles of Vodka himself to the 7A seat and received a reply.
The note read, "Dear 'Elan,' The wine wasn't funny. The vodka wasn't funny. You're an awful person with no compassion. I'm sorry for your family that they should have to deal with you." In another note, she suggested they talk to the authorities when they landed. Gale wrote back, "When you speak to the authorities, please make sure they arrest you for cannibalism because you just ate my d*ck! Love, elan."
Later when they met in person, Gale claimed that Diane slapped him. A staff member asked if he wanted to report it to the police, but he said no. However, he gave Diane a final note which read, "Diane, allow me to introduce myself. I am TheYearOfElan...Look me up online. Read every tweet. Read every response. And maybe next time you'll be nice to people who are just trying to help. PS, Eat My D*ck. Love Elan."

Word To Your Father, Courtesy Of Vanilla Ice
So, yeah. Rob Van Winkle, better known as Vanilla Ice, was a Father's Day gift expert on "The Today Show." How did I not know about his show "The Vanilla Ice Project" on the DIY Network? Adding to my Hulu queue right now. Yes, he did say, "Word to your father." And may I remind you that this man once had sex with Madonna? Now he wears a blue tooth (well, it's technically a spy cam) and says things like, "Simple as a pimple." That is all.
