Comedies 'Cristela' and 'Fresh Off the Boat' join 'Marvel's Agent Carter', 'American Crime' and more in the network's pick-up slate.
ABC has granted new season orders to "Last Man Standing" and "Nashville". The renewals mean the Tim Allen-starring sitcom will be back for a fourth season and the country music drama will return for a 22-episode third season.
The network has additionally picked up two more comedies, "Cristela" and "Fresh Off the Boat", to series. The former, starring Cristela Alonzo, is a semi-autobiographical multicamera entry. ABC acquired it last summer but passed on it. Studio 20th TV took the $500,000 penalty and used it to film a "proof of concept" presentation on "Last Man Standing" stage with the show's crew.
"Cristela" centers on the title character, an American Latina who, in her sixth year of law school, is finally on the brink of landing her first big (unpaid) internship at a prestigious law firm. The only problem is that her pursuit of success is more ambitious than her traditional Mexican-American family thinks is appropriate. She's stuck straddling the old culture she's trying to modernize at home with her working-class family and the modern world she's trying to embrace in her professional career.
"Fresh Off the Boat" is written by "Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23" showrunner Nahnatchka Kahn, who also executive produces the new show along with Jake Kasdan. The single-camera comedy is based on Chef Eddie Huang's memoir of the same name.
According to the official logline for the show, "it's the 90s and 12-year-old, hip-hop loving Eddie (Hudson Yang) just moved to suburban Orlando from DC's Chinatown with his parents (Randall Park and Constance Wu). It's culture shock for his immigrant family in this comedy about pursuing the American Dream."
ABC previously renewed "Scandal", "Grey's Anatomy", "Castle", "Revenge", "Once Upon a Time", "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." and "Resurrection". It has also ordered a bunch of new series, including "How to Get Away with Murder" from executive producer Shonda Rhimes and "Marvel's Agent Carter".

Stock market watching
From an interview with the President of the European Central Bank, Mario Draghi in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) yesterday:
WSJ: What's the first statistic you look at in the morning?
Draghi: Stock markets.
WSJ: Do you look at the euro exchange rate?
Draghi: Not in the early morning.
I am surprised that he did not mention the TED Spread or some other interest rate spread. And even within the stock market, it would appear that he is looking at market levels and not something like VIX. Are inflation targeting central banks actually closet asset price targeters?
Interesting to compare the Draghi quote with a controversial statement in the Indian parliament by former central banker, then finance minister, and future prime minister, Manmohan Singh in 1992:
But that does not mean that I should lose my sleep simply because stock market goes up one day and falls next day.
This provoked a retort from a parliamentary committee a year later:
It is good to have a Finance Minister who does not lose his sleep easily, but one would wish that when such cataclysmic changes take place all around, some alarm would ring to disturb his slumber

Xstrata Copper has approved a $US122 million ($124.3 million) feasibility study on the $US5.3 billion Frieda River copper-gold project in Papua New Guinea, adding to its $US140 million of spending so far on the potential development.
Joint venture partner
The recent pre-feasibility study showed the project could produce 246,000 tonnes of copper and 379,000 ounces of gold a year on average in the first eight years. The mine is expected to have a multi-decade life.
Assuming a gold price of $US1000 an ounce, the cash costs of copper production would be $US43¢ a pound.
In a presentation in New York this week, Xstrata Copper chief executive
Further projects, including Frieda River, which have not yet been approved have the potential to lift output by a further 1 million tonnes a year.
Mr Sartain said the "transformational growth" in the copper business would also help cut its production costs, which are in line with the industry average, to a below-average figure.

Prayer service pays tribute to Rev. Martin Luther King
Three people who are among those who were closest to the late Martin Luther King Jr. brought an audience to their feet in Washington on Saturday during individual tributes at an internationally known Catholic church.
The occasion was a two-hour interfaith prayer service at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the largest Catholic church in the Americas, to celebrate the opening of the $120 million memorial that is the first site on the National Mall honoring an African American. The gathering opened just as the first raindrops from Hurricane Irene began to fall outside. The service was the last official event honoring the memorial until after the storm passed.
Andrew Young, in an interview, said he initially intended to tell the crowd of about 1,000 about how he met King in 1957 in Montgomery, Ala. But as Young, former U.N. ambassador and mayor of Atlanta, walked up to the podium, he decided, instead, to invoke two parts of the King memorial, and shared King's journey with the "Mountain of Despair" and push toward the "Stone of Hope."
King was surrounded by despair and the knowledge that many in the world despised his message, Young said. Young recalled visiting King in Montgomery, Ala., and seeing a new porch on King's home. It replaced one that had been bombed. The city of Montgomery wanted to tax King on the collection that was taken to replace the porch. Then, during a trip to New York City to promote his autobiography, he was stabbed. When King moved to Atlanta, he was arrested during a protest and carted off in the back of a paddy wagon where his only company was a German shepherd dog, Young said.
But out of King's "Mountain of Despair" came several instances of a "Stone of Hope," including passage of the Voting Rights Act, Young said. Quoting King, he told the crowd, "'You don't have any choice in where you die or how you die. The only choice you have is what you die for.'" Young added, "You and I must become Stones of Hope in the midst of this world of despair."
The service also included emotional speeches from King's daughter and King confidante Joseph Lowery, and performances of We Shall Overcome and Lift Every Voice and Sing by Maryland-based gospel group Patrick Lundy & The Ministers of Music.
And it took place in spite of cataclysmic circumstances. A Tuesday earthquake that damaged the Washington National Cathedral forced organizers to move the prayer service to the basilica. The strengthening of Hurricane Irene forced organizers to postpone Sunday's dedication of the 4-acre site to a date to be announced. President Obama was to lead the lineup that included Young, Lowery, Martin Luther King III, Aretha Franklin and Jennifer Hudson.
Rev. Joseph Lowery, who founded the Atlanta-based Southern Christian Leadership Conference with King, drew a standing ovation even before he said a word. The 89-year-old civil rights leader has struggled with his health since suffering a pulmonary embolism last year. During the week of celebrations, , he has been seen mostly in a wheelchair. But on Saturday, Lowery managed to walk up the steps in front of the basilica altar with the help of two men, and stand at the podium with the help of a cane.
Lowery offered a revelation of what was really going on in his mind as he delivered the benediction at Obama's inauguration on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, overlooking the National Mall. "I heard sounds emanating from the Lincoln Memorial," Lowery said, "and I heard the voice of a Baptist preacher coming from those steps."
He heard the familiar voice say, " 'America, come up from the low land of race and color. Come up to the higher ground of character.' I heard it. I wanted to shout, but the president was sitting right there," Lowery quipped. "So I said, between the lines, 'Thank you, Jesus.'"
Lowery also vowed that the circumstances that tripped up the memorial celebrations were just a blip in the scheme of things.
"With all the things black folk have been through, no little hurricane can come to stop us," he said.
After the service, Lowery said he would return to Washington for the formal dedication, "the Lord willing."
Rev. Bernice King, the daughter of the civil rights leader, reminded the crowd that her father was assassinated when she was 5, but said some of the few vivid memories she has of him are centered around the moments he would return home from the road. Each of King's four children, overjoyed at the return of their father, had a spot where they would plant a kiss on him.
Bernice King said that after her father was killed, she didn't fully understand, and she spent part of her childhood asking her mother, the late Coretta Scott King, when her "daddy" was going to come back.
She reminded the crowd of the last speech he gave before he died, called his "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech, in which he is said to predict his imminent death. King was shot and killed in Memphis the day after, on April 4, 1968.
"You might say today we've got some difficult days ahead, but it really doesn't matter now, because I've been to the mountaintop," King paraphrased. She said her father was "a man who refused to let it be about him but let it be about the word of God … so as we remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, my daddy, let it not be about us, but feeling and being obedient to the word of God."
King's sister, Christine King Farris, said she has had mixed emotions over the multiple celebrations.
"I'm overjoyed at the dedication, but then I think back on my brother, he was so humble, and he would say, 'Don't do this for me,' " she said with a chuckle.

text: Posted October 14, 2012 I watched a TON of the rest of the league today. It gave some real perspective. I look around the league, and it's hard to name a QB without lapses in play. People need to realize that we're so fortunate to have Newton and have a glass of STFU next time he has a poor game like last week against Seattle. I've seen Matt Stafford, Matty "ICE" Ryan, and numerous other "Star" QB have the same game today. Thus is life in the NFL. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Published: June 3, 2008 at 8:46 AMAccidents do happen, but sadly, with this much property loss someone has to take the blame. The crew will be held accountable for it, and I'm sure they'll have a hard time getting work in the same field. It's not like they can omit that they worked at USH on their resumes.
This fire is definitely bad news, but at the very least, no one was killed or critically injured.
I'm not into Conspiracy Theories, but I've seen and heard people trying to claim that it's some big wig's idea of publicity to get more attendance while getting rid of old attractions. I think it's absurd.

Signs of Drug AbuseSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
What are the signs of drug abuse and dependence?
The signs of drug abuse and dependence depend on the drug and the person using the drug. Behaviors that may be signs of a drug problem include:
- Changes in sleeping or eating habits, less attention to dressing and grooming, or less interest in sex.
- Up and down moods, a mood or attitude that is getting worse, or not caring about the future.
- Anger toward others or treating others badly.
- Sneaky behavior, lying, or stealing.
- Poor family relationships, or relationships that are getting worse.
- New problems at work or school, or problems with the law.
- Dropping old friends and activities, finding new friends, and not wanting old friends to meet them.
Having these signs doesn't always mean a person is using drugs. The behavior could be because of work or school stress, or it could be a sign of depression or another medical problem. But behavior changes like these are common in people who abuse drugs.
Physical signs of drug abuse and dependence include:
- Red eyes, a sore throat, a dry cough, and feeling tired.
- Needle marks on the arm or other area of the body.
- Small, "pinpoint" pupils in the eyes.
- Losing weight without trying to, or not feeling like eating.
- Changes in sleep behavior, such as not sleeping as well.
- Seeing things that don't exist ( hallucinations ).

Oconee economic development
In Oconee County government circles, there's a lot going on of late with its 400 acres on highway 11 at Richland. An unidentified company is said to be interested in property there. Paul Corbeil, District One County Councilman, also says tomorrow is the day that a committee is to give final discussion and a score to the idea of new shell building. As chairman of the Capital Project Advisory Committee, Corbeil will preside at tomorrow morning's meeting where there is scheduled final discussion and scoring for the idea of a third shell building, this one to be in the Echo Hills Industrial Park. Corbeil says the council is unanimous that the creation of jobs is the county's top priority, but an important question to him is whether, at this time, the county can afford a new shell building.

School Quality Snapshot Release
Official Letter
Official Letter
Dear County and District Superintendents and Charter School Administrators:
The purpose of this letter is to announce a valuable new report, the School Quality Snapshot (SQS), which has been designed for parents, district and school leadership, and community members to easily view multiple years of school data. This letter also serves to provide you with a revised release schedule for the 2011–12 Accountability Progress Reporting (APR) system.
School Quality Snapshot Release
As described in my report A Blueprint for Great Schools, one of my goals was to develop an accountability system that includes broader measures of student learning and school success. I believe that the SQS is an excellent step toward this goal. I am pleased to announce that my team has developed a new school report that will provide parents, teachers, administrators, board members, parent and teacher organizations, site council members, and other educational stakeholders with a snapshot of school data in a format that is easy to read and understand.
With the reduction in school funding over the last few years, many local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools have been forced to make difficult decisions on how to allocate their resources, while the need to use data in decision making has increased. I hope that this report will be a useful tool for school leaders to use data when making important educational decisions for our students. The SQS graphically displays comparative school, LEA, and state data for various accountability, demographics, and school climate indicators, making the report an exciting new tool for all stakeholders.
The SQS will be available for LEAs to preview on October 8, 2012, on the password-protected APR preview page. To introduce and familiarize LEAs with the SQS and what data are included on the report, a Webinar is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on October 8, 2012. Information on how to access the Webinar is provided in Attachment 2. If you have any questions regarding the SQS or the Webinar, please contact Meredith Babcock-Roberson, Education Programs Consultant, Evaluation, Research, and Analysis Unit (ERAU), by phone at 916-319-0423 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Accountability Progress Reporting Update
Attached to this letter is an updated schedule for the APR release. If you have any questions regarding this schedule, Academic Performance Index, or Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP), please contact the Academic Accountability Unit by phone at 916-319-0863 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you have any questions regarding Program Improvement status or AYP appeals, please contact the ERAU by phone at 916-322-3245 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
As my team continues to implement A Blueprint for Great Schools and revises the state's accountability system, I plan to seek input and advice from those of you working in the field. Thank you for all of your hard work on behalf of the students of California.

A. Helmet Use Laws for Bicycle Riders
(Source: the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute)
Excerpts from the BHSI Web site: http://www.helmets.org/mandator.htm
Revised immediately upon receipt of new information
For date of last revision see last line at the bottom.
There is no federal law in the U.S. requiring bicycle helmets. States and localities began adopting laws in 1987, but there is no formal central registry for them. Here are the ones we are aware of as of this date. The States are probably all included, but some localities could be missing.
That's a total of 20 State laws (including the District of Columbia as a "state") and 84 local laws.
** Florida permitted Counties to opt out, and three did so, but Brevard later reversed its decision, leaving the Counties of Citrus and St. Lucie not covered by the State law. Private property (a driveway, for example) was excluded but all roads and trails are covered.

ZIL launches Dynamic Growth Fund
Zurich International Life Limited (ZIL) has added the Dynamic Growth Fund (DGF) to its investment range.
The new fund has been specifically designed to appeal to cautious investors who are interested in wealth generating solutions that offer protection against stock-market volatility. Particularly appealing to those who favour low-risk propositions is the fact that the DGF has a protected price that will not fall below 80 per cent of the highest ever fund price.
The DGF maintains flexibility through the fact that clients are not locked into the fund – they go in and out of it at no extra cost or penalty. The fund is capped at 70 per cent equity and a minimum of 30 per cent equity exposure, with the rest being held in cash. The equity element of the DGF will be the S&P 500 Index.
Denominated in US dollars, the fund is intended to appeal to clients in core ZIL regions – Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Europe. The DGF will sit alongside ZIL's Money Market and Managed Funds.
Martin Davis, Chief Executive Officer of ZIL, said:
"Adding another string to our bow in the form of the DGF, allows ZIL to demonstrate our dedication to providing advisers around the world with a full range of investment options to suit their clients' needs as well as their own."
"ZIL's understanding of the importance not only of advocating funds which suit those who like to take risks, but also those who take a more cautious approach to investment, is embodied by the DGF which offers clients some of the excitement of the stock-market, with less risk. Early feedback from advisers has given us real confidence in the fact that it should be a resounding success across all of ZIL's key regions."
About Zurich International Life Ltd (ZIL)
Zurich International Life Ltd, headquartered in the Isle of Man, is part of the Zurich Financial Services Group. ZIL provides both individual and corporate customers with real financial solutions to their international protection, life assurance and investment needs.
About Zurich Financial Services Group
Zurich Financial Services is an insurance-based financial services provider with a global network of subsidiaries and offices in North America and Europe as well as in Asia Pacific, Latin America and other markets. Founded in 1872, Zurich is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. It employs approximately 55,000 people serving customers in more than 120 countries.
Fund details (details of charges)
The Dynamic Growth Fund will reference the S&P 500 Total Return Index for the equity element, and the USD 3 month LIBOR for the cash element. The 80% protection is provided by adjusting the exposure between equities and cash on a dynamic basis. The DGF will have a 1.8% annual management charge. Investors can switch into and out of the fund on a daily basis without penalty, using ZIL's standard switching rules. ZIL's standard product charges and commission terms will apply

In this study, environmental impacts of industrial waste disposal of used lubricating oils and sulphur wastes scenarios have been investigated and modeled. The life-cycle assessment methodology was selected among the environmental impact assessment methods. In this method environmental issues and burdens were quantitated in order to facilitate the comparison. In this regard, options with the least adverse impacts were suggested. Functional unit of the study has also been defined as amount of used lubricating oils and sulphur wastes in terms of kilograms based on capacity of transitional barrel. Accordingly, the system boundaries were selected for life cycle of the wastes produced in sulphur unit of Tehran Oil Refinery. Since the main disposal method applied in Tehran Oil Refinery was transference to the municipal landfill, two incineration and landfilling scenarios were modeled for used lubricating oils and sulphur wastes by means of Simapro-7.1 software. Then, the outputs of these scenarios were compared in terms of the least environmental impacts by EDIP 2003 and Ecoindicator 99 methods. Finally, incineration scenarios were recommended as the most efficient ones.

Great news for Canadian residents!
"Put some Porter's on it," our mothers used to say.
For those who used Rundle's Liniment Salve we are now able to supply you with Porter's Liniment Salve which has always been made from the same formula as Rundle's Salve.
Porter's Salve was originally formulated in 1916 by the Geo. H. Rundles Company of Piqua, Ohio. The Rundle Company also manufactured the salve in Windsor Ontario and the Mentholatum Company of Fort Erie, who later bought out the Windsor company, used the same formula as Porter's but sold it under the name of Rundle's Salve. This was discontinued years ago.
After more than 90 years, this soothing first-aid salve is still providing healing comfort to bruises, rough and cracked skin, insect bites, hard corns, sunburn and local irritations. The drawing quality works particularly well on slivers of metal, wood, or glass beneath the surface of the skin. It is recommended for man and beast alike, and has been a medicine cabinet staple since 1916.
Contains chlorobutanol, cresylic acid, zinc oxide, camphor, ammonia and oils of clove, sassafras and myrrh in a base of petrolatum, beeswax and lanolin.
Do not apply to large areas of the body. In case of deep or puncture wounds or serious burns, consult a physician; if redness, irritation, swelling or pain persists or increases, or if infection occurs discontinue use and consult a physician.
Keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children.

Step aside Tabasco, Cajun bluesman Tab Benoit is rapidly becoming Louisiana's hottest export.
In a rare west-coast appearance, Benoit brings his brand of swampy blues to Three Stages at Folsom Lake College in Folsom on May 25. Opening the show is local feel-good world music crew Mumbo Gumbo, who sound as fresh today as they did when they broke on the Northern California music scene 20 years ago.
Benoit was recently named best Contemporary Male Artist of 2012 and B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, dominating the Blues Music Awards held earlier this month in Memphis. His most recent album, "Medicine," took the Best Contemporary Blues Album award.
He's also a tireless advocate for Louisiana's shrinking wetlands, the founder and driving force behind Voice of the Wetlands. See related story.
Born in Houma, La., Benoit broke in at ramshackle Baton Rouge nightclubs as a teenager in the mid-1980s. He steadily improved, developing solid guitar skills and a Cajun-infused vocal attack.
By 2000 he was recognized as one of the rising stars of modern blues music, prompting comparisons to blues guitar heavyweights like Albert King, Albert Collins and even Jimi Hendrix. But he maintained a commitment to his Cajun roots, a goal that, according to his official biography, "often eluded him when past producers and promoters tried to turn him in a rock direction, often against his better instincts."
At 44 years old, he's just entering his prime with a mature blues growl, stellar musicianship and the looks of a heart-throb new-country star rather than the veteran New Orleans bluesman he's become.
Along the way, Benoit has earned a stable full of friends eager to play with him. His Voice of the Wetlands benefit tours have become a who's who of Louisiana roots music.
The line-up on "Medicine," his first album in nearly four years, is no exception. Bassist Corey Duplechin plays with Chubby Carrier and the Bayou Swamp Band; Ivan Neville is on the Hammond B-3 organ. He's the son of Aaron Neville and the leader Dumstaphunk. Drummer Brady Blade's resúmé includes the Dave Matthews Band, and on fiddle is the legendary Michael Doucet, whose Cajun revivalists Beausoleil are considered the best Cajun band in the world.
Doucet and Carrier will join Benoit in Folsom.
Swedish-by-way-of-New-Orleans songwriter and musician Anders Osborne co-wrote seven of the album's 11 songs with Benoit.
The album came together organically, he said. "We weren't trying to structure things. Most of the stuff here was played live; these are mostly first takes."
"Medicine" debuted in April at No. 1 on iTunes and No. 2 on Amazon. Pretty good first takes, Tab.
Legend has it that a young guitar student once asked B.B King which single guitarist he should study. The King of the Blues famously answered "Tab Benoit." In an unusual twist, Osborne plays B.B. King's guitar, "Lucille," on the album.
The opener and title cut, "Medicine," is a dark blues rocker that kicks off with a guitar solo that feels like a shot of Jack Daniels going down.
The ensuing lyrics imply something even stronger. "Let music be the medicine," said Benoit in a recent interview. "Like John Lee Hooker once said, 'Blues is the healer.'"
Stylistically, the album is a mix of blues-rock, Cajun and slower, vintage 1960s soul numbers.
Lyrically, it's equally diverse. After its bone-rattling first track, the album shuffles between gritty blues and soul elegies for the lost wetlands and upbeat Cajun and blues-rock "boy meets girl" themes, culminating with "In it to win it," a hard-driving blues song that's both autobiographical and inspirational.
"Whole lotta' soul," is an R&B number that asks:
"What's the matter with the place we live in?
Did mother nature get it wrong?
Arrest the delta in the name of changing
Dig it till it's dead and gone."
The song builds like a tropical storm in the gulf, then rains down a potent lament:
"What you gonna' tell the children?
What you gone tell the trees?
What you gone tell the spirit,
when the heart of the delta bleeds?"
The album is spiked with sunnier numbers that let Michael Doucet cut loose on fiddle. "Mudboat Melissa" is the bayou version of the classic "hot girl in a hotter car" story that swaps out the T-bird for a shallow-draft swamp boat.
"Can't you see" is a grinning mix of Tex-Mex and Cajun that plays out a similarly classic narrative: "girl leaves boy; boy whines." The couple's future is left to Doucet, who employs his haunting French yodel in the final two verses.
"Nothing takes the place of you" is a classic 1960's soul number that might have appeared on the B side of a Jackie Wilson single.
"In it to win it," tells Benoit's story, with some advice along the way:
"You gotta' get in it to win it
Life is a game you play.
Get in it to win it.
Before you waste away."
A scorching blues guitar solo drives the point home.
"Broke and Lonely" is a second-line strut that lets Benoit show off his chortle and demonstrate just how far he's come as a vocalist.
Tab Benoit has become the quintessential Louisiana roots artist, serving up a rich gumbo of indigenous blues, Cajun, rock, soul and country music — all performed with a raw tone and honest grit that will continue to propel a career that's already in the express lane.
His commitment to Louisiana wetlands preservation makes touring difficult. Promoter Mary Carrera said she's been trying to book him for years, and is delighted to host him at the spectacular Three Stages Theater in Folsom.
Tickets are available at the Three Stages website, threestages.net, for $20, $30 and $40. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. Carrera expects another in her string of sellouts at Three Stages.

The Founders of the Orthodox West: On Recovering the Spiritual Identity of Western Europe
Who are the great historical figures of Western Europe who define its identity? The answers of the secular world to this question are quite different from those of the Church. The Western secular world exalts secular figures like Charlemagne, Charles V, or Napoleon as "great Europeans". But all three of these left Europe full of graves. Indeed, Charlemagne and Charles V were renowned for their massacres and, as for Napoleon, he declared that he would have had Christ hanged as a fanatic.[1]
The Apostles
These Apostolic figures were to inspire countless others, who were to set out in later centuries as local Apostles, to enlighten the different regions and provinces of Western Europe. In the third and fourth centuries such saints established the Church in south-western Europe, in Italy, the Iberian Peninsula and Gaul, in the fifth and sixth centuries in the Celtic West, in the seventh century in England, and in the eighth to eleventh centuries in the Germanic north-west.
The Martyrs
St. Agatha.
Secondly, we cannot overlook the host of martyrs of the Imperial Capital and neighboring parts of the Empire. Some of them are well-known, like St. Sophia and her three children († 138), St. Cecilia († 2nd cent), St. Tatiana († 3rd century), St. Agatha († 3rd century), St. Laurence († 258), St. Valentine († c.270), St. Sebastian († 288), St. Lucy († 304), St. Anastasia († c.304), St. Pancras (†c.305), St. Januarius († c.305), St. Agnes († c.350), many others are less well known.
In other parts of the Empire there were others who also helped shape the spiritual identity of Europe. In Northwest Africa also there were many martyrs, for instance, St. Perpetua and St. Felicity († 203), and St. Cyprian of Carthage (# 258). In other parts of the West there were many other martyrs, still relatively little known outside their homelands, for example, St. Maurice of Agaunum in Switzerland († c.287), St. Eulalia of Merida († 304), St. Vincent of Spain († 304), St. Alban the Protomartyr of Britain († c.305), or St. Ursula in Germany (5th cent).
The Confessors
Similarly there are the great monastic founders and organizers of the Church, especially in heathen northwest Europe. For instance, in Gaul there were St. Martin of Tours († 397), who inspired St. Ninian († 432) in Pictish Scotland and St. Patrick in Ireland († c.461). In Italy, there was the great St. Benedict of Nursia († c.550). In Frankish Gaul there were St. Remigius (Remi) (†553), who baptized Clovis, St. Germanus of Paris (†561), St. Eloi († 660) and St. Peger († 679). In Iberia, there were St. Leander of Seville († c.601), St. Isidore of Seville († 636), St. lldefonsus (Alphonso) of Toledo († 666) and St. Julian of Toledo († 690). On the Germanic Marches there are also two great Apostles of the Lowlands, St. Lambert († c.705) and St. Hubert of Maastricht (+ 727).
After a thousand-year-long apostasy and as, seemingly, we re-enter pagan times, there are those who consider that the Christian history of Western Europe is a thing of the past. This is a negative and fatalistic viewpoint. The spiritual identity of Western Europe is not beyond recovery. The final word in history has not yet been spoken. However, if Western Europe is to be recovered for Christ, this will only come to pass through the pure seeds of its Conversion, on the foundations laid by the above Great Europeans.

[1] The evil of Napoleon is reflected in that of Lenin who, in the twentieth century, desired to erect a statue in honor of Judas on Red Square in Moscow. Eventually, instead of this, a miserable tomb was erected to contain Lenin's own putrefied corpse.

Hello, Daniel Banner!
Probably, Fr Andrew means spiritual decay of the Roman Church, with her papal doctrines, heresies and inventions.
Daniel Banner:
question: if the west decayed after 1054, how come its just begann to flourish: at least the romanesque and gothic christian culture. Never yet surpassed until now, an architecture of pure light.
Thanks and Regards,
I see a lot of that orthodox hatred for the west, it's religion, culture, heritage & heroes in your post. That hatred that is stronger among the orthodox than the Muslims.
Yes there is a spiritual crisis, but Charlemagne is a hero & founder of Europe, in those days all Kings killed many & he killed mainly pagans cuz he believed Christendom couldn't be safe if they didn't convert. Charles V christianized the whole of South America & his son christianized the Phillipines.
Meanwhile many rulers of Orthodox Eastern Europe collaborated & aided the Ottoman wars against European states.
Laurence Powers:
Thank you for this informative and encouraging post. Please remember that Only Yeshua is the Advocate in the Heavenly Court, and, as such, only ask intercession from Him, none other...Yet to appreciate and express gratitude and have remembrance for the Saints/Confessors/Martyrs and a True lense of History is to be knowledgeable and apply such knowledge...Yes, remember all the Horrors inflicted from within and without...All strive to displace the sons and daughters of Adam...Practice the Law, wear the Orthodox Cross...Defend the Temple (bodies) of the Slavic/Celtic people with faith, reason, logic, and Uncompromising protection of the land, and bloodline...Once all Slav/Celts are practicing the Law with faith in Yeshua, then other tribes will begin to do so again..Until all tribes do so, and not until then, the bodies of Slavs/Celts are sacrosanct, and to be separated from the world...Be a Light to the World, and the World will generate its own lights within each respective tribe...Follow the Law, Follow the Messiah, Do Not Compromise...

Whilst bearing the name James, I have difficulty with Compostella. The reputed relics of St James the Apostle were lost for 800 years according to the Compostella story. A star revealed that some sacred relics were buried in a field, in Spanish, Campo stella. The link with St James is thus very tenuous. Few Non-Spanish Catholics still accept the story.

If your beloved has commitment issues, maybe it's time for a little year-end tax planning.
It's a quirk of the tax law is that your filing status on the last day of the year is your filing status for the whole year. You can be footloose and fancy-free for 364 days, but if you exchange vows on December 31, you're just as married for 2010 as far as the tax law is concerned as a couple celebrating their 50th anniversary.
That can be good news for a couple where only one of the pair has significant income — for example, a couple where one member is supporting the other through medical school, or (shudder) accounting school. A year-end wedding for Iowa couple with a $50,000 earner and a non-earner could mean an extra $2,700 2010 tax refund.
Sadly, it works the other way for two-earner couples, but it's probably too late to get a divorce done by year-end.
We're 2010 counting down year-end planning tips all week. Catch all the fun!

Two cheers for the Administration's flawed anti-Semitism report
Last month, the State Department issued its report on contemporary global anti-Semitism. There's much to admire in it, albeit with a significant reservation.
It's a melancholy fact that such a report is necessary. Many American Jews of the post-war generation believed — or at least hoped — that anti-Semitism was dying. Our experience was of acceptance and assimilation. Surely Jew-hatred was going the way of flat-earthism, demonic possession to explain mental illness and other such irrational doctrines.
We were wrong.
"The oldest hatred," ever smoldering, has burst into flames again. So we have to be aware of anti-Semitism, study it, monitor it, condemn it. Various Jewish organizations are doing a good job of keeping an eye on our enemies. But in this great and good country, the government itself has lent its prestige to officially exposing and deploring world anti-Semitism. It's worth taking a moment to reflect on how unusual that is, historically.
One great virtue of the report is that it rejects the purported distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism: Denying the Jewish people its right of national self-determination (the essence of Zionism) is a sort of anti-Semitism. Describing anti-Zionism as "the new anti-Semitism," the report states that it "has the effect of promoting prejudice against all Jews by demonizing Israel and Israelis and attributing Israel's perceived faults to its Jewish character."
Anti-Zionism is common among, but not limited to, Muslims in the Middle East and in Europe.
In addition, the report does not just go after the obvious and politically easy targets, such as the Holocaust-deniers, the cemetery desecrators or the Arab disseminators of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion." The State Department boldly condemns the anti-Semitism of the United Nations. It explores the dismal record of many U.N. bodies, including the Israel-obsessed U.N. Commission on Human Rights (recently replaced by the no-better Human Rights Council), the Division for Palestinian Rights, the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People and the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories. Such undiplomatic honesty is praiseworthy.
But here's a puzzle. The State Department can find anti-Semitism all over the world — in Venezuela, Argentina, France, Hungary, Belarus, Syria, Iran, South Africa, Indonesia, New Zealand and many other countries. It properly identifies anti-Semitism at the United Nations on behalf of the Palestinians. But when it reaches the Palestinians themselves, the report is unexpectedly reticent. Reporting on Hamas is limited to its use of the "Protocols" (footnote on Page 21); a quotation trivializing the Holocaust (Page 24); and a mention of broadcasts featuring the suicide-bomb-encouraging Mickey Mouse rip-off Farfour (Page 56). (Oddly, this is in the section on "Anti-Semitism in Private Media.") When it comes to the Palestinian Authority, the State Department has even less to say: a single reference to Holocaust denial back in the 1990s, and only by the PLO-affiliated Palestinian Red Crescent (page 24).
Given the stated aim of the Bush administration to prop up Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, suspicion arises that the anti-Semitism report has pulled its punches for political purposes.
Jaime Petersen, spokeswoman for the State Department Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, firmly denies the charge. She observes that the report is intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive, and suggests that the department's religious freedom and human rights reports give fuller accounts.
That would be fine, if it were true. But the International Religious Freedoms Report 2007 does not fill in the gaps. Actually, it's more interested in how Israeli security measures impede access to mosques than in anti-Semitism. Indeed, it includes this remarkable claim: "Terrorists did not systematically attack anyone in the occupied territories for religious reasons …."
The Country Reports on Human Rights Practices 2007 is not much better on this score.
So the impression lingers that, for whatever reason, the U.S. government is soft-pedaling Palestinian Authority anti-Semitism. To get a truer picture, one must go to groups like Palestinian Media Watch (PMW). From PMW we learn, for example, that the official PA newspaper described Aladin Abu-Dheim, the murderer of eight students at Mercaz HaRav yeshiva, as a "groom" and his burial as a "wedding" — the language of martyrdom. We learn that on Feb. 28, 2008, Abbas told a Jordanian newspaper: "Now we are against armed conflict because we are unable. In the future stages, things may be different."
We learn that on April 20, 2007, Dr. Ahmed Bahar, the speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, said on PA television: "Allah, take hold of the Jews and their allies, Allah, take hold of the Americans and their allies…. Allah, count them and kill them to the last one and don't leave even one."
America cannot support peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians with wishful thinking and willful ignorance of the character of the PA. Only American pressure to liberalize Palestinian society, including the elimination of official anti-Semitism, has a hope of working. So we should thank the State Department for its anti-Semitism report and wish it continued success, and even greater clarity and accuracy.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/12/2012 (1695 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Chamber head sees bullishness
DAVE Angus, president of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, believes a recent survey of Manitoba business leaders indicates a very strong degree of confidence among Manitoba's business community.
"The level of confidence out there speaks to a real opportunity," Angus said. "It is the conditions we need in order to grow."
With more than 50 per cent of respondents indicating their workforce has grown over the past year and more than 50 per cent having increased capital spending this year, Angus said it's a very good sign for the province.
According to the chamber's current theme, he said, "It's time to be bold."
The survey received responses from a selection of 174 chamber members.
The results reveal a much more optimistic outlook from the business community compared with the last survey the chamber did. But that was in 2010 while the economy was still feeling the effects of the last recession.
"This is a significant change from what business leaders told us in 2010 as the recession was having a clear impact on these key metrics," said Angus. "The challenge now for the various levels of government and the business community is to strengthen the business climate to ensure this becomes a reality."
According to the Bold Business Leaders Survey, done in partnership with Aikins Law, Lazer Grant LLP and Legacy Bowes Group, more than one in three (37 per cent) business leaders cited labour availability and skill shortages as the greatest challenge facing their company over the next year, followed by the continued economic slowdown and rising operational costs.
Province's jobs picture better
JOB prospects have brightened in Manitoba, according to the latest Help-Wanted Index survey by the Conference Board of Canada.
The board said Tuesday Manitoba's index rose 3.7 points in October, offsetting about half of the losses recorded in the two previous months. A rising index suggests more job growth in the short term.
The rise here was part of a broadly based trend that saw index gains posted in every province in October, the board said. That drove up the national index by nine points, which more than offset the losses from the previous two months. The Help-Wanted Index is based on the seasonally adjusted number of new, unduplicated jobs posted online during the month across 79 Canadian job-posting websites.
CWB ships first load of canola
THE Canadian Wheat Board has shipped its first load of canola, a cargo of 42,000 tonnes, aboard the ship Tai Health, which is bound for Japan.
Changes to the western Canadian grain marketing system, implemented this year by the federal government, allow the CWB to market canola for the first time in history. Adding canola expands the CWB's crop mix, which already includes wheat, durum and malting barley.
The canola, which was shipped from the Port of Prince Rupert in B.C., has been purchased by the Japanese agricultural co-operative Zen-Noh, which has chosen the CWB to be its main supplier of Canadian grain.
CWB president and CEO Ian White said the canola was a mix of cash purchases from companies and farmers as well as canola committed by farmers in the CWB pool which runs from harvest to June 30, 2013.
CP plans to cut 4,500 jobs
CALGARY -- Canadian Pacific says it will eliminate some 4,500 jobs by 2016 and expects more than a third of those cuts to come by year-end as the struggling railroad works to bring down its operating costs.
The Calgary-based company said Tuesday the reductions will be achieved through job cuts, attrition and reducing contractors as part of its restructuring plan.
It expects 1,700 positions to be eliminated by the end of the year. In total, the reductions will amount to the elimination of about a quarter of some 19,500 employees and contractors operating in six provinces and 13 U.S. states.
The cuts are part of a plan to increase annual revenue growth between four and seven per cent from 2012 levels as well as reduce its full-year operating ratio -- a closely watched measure of how much revenue is required to run the business -- to the mid-60s range by 2016.
The strategic moves are the latest for the railway since a new board of directors installed Hunter Harrison as its chief executive officer in the summer following a bitter proxy fight with the company's largest shareholder.
More lost days in public sector
TORONTO -- A new report suggests public-sector employees in Canada take nearly five more sick, disability and personal days per year than Canadians working in the private sector.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says those extra days cost up to $3.5 billion per year, noting some public-sector workers can bank unused sick days, then take a lump-sum payment or use the days to retire early.
The CFIB says federal government employees take the most time off, averaging 15.2 sick, disability and personal days per year compared with 12.9 days in the overall public sector and 8.2 days in the private sector.
Employees in businesses with fewer than 20 employees averaged 6.7 days off, while those in firms with more than 500 employees took 9.1 days, which is still lower than the public sector average.

The ancient Theater of Dionysus, located at the foot of the Acropolis, is one of the earliest theatres in the world.
Dedicated to Dionysus, the God of wine and fertility, patron of drama, and the liberator of man from his everyday worries, it hosted the ciity's Dionysia festival.
Among those who competed were all the dramatists of the classical era who composed plays that have survived: Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, Aristophanes, and Menander.
Originally built c. 325 BC, it seated between 14,000 to 17,000 spectators.
It subsequently fell into disuse and little is recorded until 61 AD, where there is evidence of major renovations done under emperor Nero.
Its remains can still be seen at the site today, and they are a major tourist attraction.

"In the software world, there's a rich culture of providing basic open-source building blocks like compilers, editors, support libraries and operating systems," says Adams of the Frankencamera project. "Unfortunately, chip manufacturing is an inherently expensive business, and there's far less room for the kind of altruistic sharing that seems to be the major motivator behind a lot of open-source contributors. Having to sign [non-disclosure agreements] to even see how to use a part like an image sensor is common."
Although he and his fellow Frankencamera developers have encountered hesitation or refusals from companies they've approached to acquire information to help them build their digital camera, they have come across some willing to contribute — in particular because of the open-source aspect of their project. (Most of the Frankencamera's electronics are commodity parts that anyone can buy. A few components, such as the camera's power circuitry, were specially designed by the project's team.)
"Companies that are hard to extract information or parts from don't care whether you're planning something open source or commercial — they're equally reticent. People and companies that are willing to help are usually more willing to if it's going to be open source; they know they'll be able to benefit from any results too," says Adams.
The Issue of Intellectual Property
A big question swirling around open-source hardware projects is the legal issue of intellectual property — who owns what (including the whole and the individual parts) in an open-source device, especially if several people are contributing designs? Brendan Scott, a lawyer who specializes in IT law and runs the Web site Open Source Law, strongly advises the creators and lead developers of such projects to address this matter before anybody agrees to make anything.
As for how this should be handled, he says there is no one-size-fits-all answer. "In some cases, it will be better for individuals to retain intellectual property [in what they contribute]; in others, it will be better to transfer it to some holding entity. The main thing about intellectual property in a project is to turn your mind to the issue before you start — or soon after you start — rather than when you finish. By not addressing the issue, you may discover that the issue has been decided for you, perhaps in a way you are not happy with."
Michael Arrington, founder and co-editor of the TechCrunch blog, might agree. In July 2008 he announced plans to create a low-cost Web tablet, later dubbed the CrunchPad. While the hardware development process wouldn't be fully open, Arrington's idea was to "design it, build a few and then open source the specs so anyone can create them," as he wrote in the announcement.

in the Wolfram Research web site for a discussion of this design.
The Union function sorts the elements before comparing them, and
compares only adjacent elements after sorting. This is done for
reasons of efficiency. This also causes the behavior in your
example, since elements that match your SameTest aren't sorted
into adjacent positions.
The web page mentioned above contains additional discussion and
alternate definitions for Union that compare all pairs of elements.

Anti-corruption officers visit T&T Guardian
(Trinidad Guardian) Officers from the police Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau (ACIB) visited the newsroom of the T&T Guardian yesterday seeking information about a story on the Integrity Commission. The police were investigating a story that reported on a possible conflict of interest involving Integrity Commission chairman Ken Gordon.
Published in the Sunday Guardian on January 22, the story, by investigative reporter Anika Gumbs-Sandiford, quoted a letter that Gordon wrote to the commission's registrar about the printery owned by Gordon and his son Rhett. It also quoted a legal opinion on the issue provided to the commission by its legal adviser, Marlon Sambucharan.
Asst Supt Anthony Bucchan called Gumbs-Sandiford yesterday morning to give her an hour's notice that he was coming to the newspaper's office on St Vincent Street, Port-of-Spain, to interview her. At the meeting, ASP Bucchan told Gumbs-Sandiford he wanted to ask her about the legal opinion she had quoted in the story. T&T Guardian editor-in-chief Judy Raymond told Bucchan the newspaper would prefer if the interview were conducted in the presence of a Guardian Media Ltd attorney.
The police agreed to defer the interview to tomorrow morning so that a GML lawyer could attend. In his letter to the registrar, Martin Farrell, Gordon explained that he and his son Rhett had recently acquired Zenith Printery, since renamed Caribbean Print Technologies, and wanted to continue to do business with its previous clients, one of whom was the commission. Gordon asked whether there would be any objection to Rhett's tendering for work from the commission.
In his legal opinion, Sambucharan responded, "An issue of conflict of interest will arise upon this tender for work. Claims of self-dealing or serving a family interest, aka nepotism, may be raised but this is not to say that such a conflict cannot be mitigated against and/or lawfully avoided."
In February this year, the ACIB raided the offices of Newsday and seized computers and cellphones belonging to reporter Andre Bagoo. They later searched his home and a marked police car was seen waiting for hours outside the house. In January, the ACIB had asked Bagoo about the source of a story about a row between Gordon and a fellow commissioner, Gladys Gafoor. Bagoo refused to reveal his source.
Gafoor was suspended from the commission last December after refusing to recuse herself from discussion of an investigation involving former attorney general John Jeremie. A tribunal was set up to probe her conduct. Gafoor has mounted a legal challenge to the decision to suspend her and to appoint the tribunal to investigate allegations against her. The two matters are being heard in the High Court.

The mystery of Diana's missing possessions
The clothes Diana, Princess of Wales was wearing when she died were burned in her former butler Paul Burrell's back garden, the Old Bailey has been told.
But it was not just her clothes that met a bizarre end, a number of other items either went missing or astray.
The princess's own mother, Frances Shand Kydd, was accused in court of shredding large amounts of documents belonging to Diana, while she sat on her sofa drinking wine.
In one room in his home in Cheshire, the jury was told, there was a pine bench seat which tilted up to reveal storage space beneath.
This was the place where police found many of the items Mr Burrell is accused of stealing, including photographs, letters, CDs and cards.
At 3.30am on the day she died, the court heard, Mr Burrell was seen by a policeman loading his car with Diana's possessions to destroy - something he said was at the request of the family.
Police developed more than 3,000 photographs from negatives allegedly found in a carrier bag at Mr Burrell's home.
There were also photographs of the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and royal tours, and paintings from the Prince of Wales, signed "Charles", the court was told.
However, the hearing also learned the princess had on occasions given away clothes herself, to members of her family members of her family at informal events at Kensington Palace which Mrs Shand Kydd, smilingly, termed "upmarket car boot sales".
Missing clothes
Lord Carlile QC, for Mr Burrell, also told the hearing that on one occasion Mrs Shand Kydd, and her other two daughters Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes went to Apartment Nine at Kensington Palace and took away a "large quantity" of Diana's clothes from three storage rooms.
He said they took them away in a large estate car belonging to Lady Sarah and another car belonging to Lady Fellowes to which Mrs Shand Kydd simply replied: "We were all the same size."
Lady Sarah said she had received some suits and casual wear from her sister's estate. She also had a set of curtains, some chairs and a television from the office.
Father-of-two Mr Burrell, 44, from Farndon, Cheshire, denies stealing hundreds of personal items from the Princess's estate and property belonging to Prince Charles and Prince William.
The trial continues.
