(CNSNews.com) - A report over the weekend saying that the Pentagon is planning for potential military strikes against Iran brought the customary response from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. She said the United States wants a diplomatic solution to the nuclear dispute but no options are off the table.
The fact that the Defense Department leaked the information is seen as significant, however.
Numerous analysts and commentators, including critics of the Bush administration's foreign policy, have suggested that the mission in Iraq has left Washington unable or unwilling to risk confronting Tehran.
The decision to leak confirmation of the military planning appears to be aimed at sending a signal to Iran -- and others -- that the U.S. is both willing and able.
London's Sunday Telegraph said the identification of bombing targets and logistical assessments for an operation against Iran were part of a plan being formulated as a "last resort" in case diplomatic attempts to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons fail.
The planners were reporting to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's office, said the paper, and it quoted an unnamed senior Pentagon advisor as saying: "This is more than just the standard military contingency assessment. This has taken on much greater urgency in recent months."
Earlier this month the U.N.'s International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) agreed to report Iran to the Security Council over nuclear non-compliance, but held off any possible action against Tehran until at least the IAEA's next meeting in March.
On Saturday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stepped up the level of rhetoric aimed at the West over the nuclear row, threatening that Iran would revise its nuclear policies if its right to a nuclear program was violated.
"The nuclear policy of the Islamic Republic so far has been peaceful," he was quoted as saying. "Until now, we have worked inside the agency [the IAEA] and the NPT [Non-proliferation Treaty) regulations.
"If we see you want to violate the right of the Iranian people by using those regulations [against Iran], you should know that the Iranian people will revise its policies."
Iran earlier ended cooperation with the IAEA and said it would restart uranium enrichment. The latest pledge may be a threat to withdraw completely from the IAEA and the NPT.
In an interview with the conservative weekly Human Events, posted on its website Friday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said U.S. military action against Iran may be required if attempts to encourage peaceful regime change in Tehran in the next few years aren't successful.
"In my judgment, this goes back to the core question whether or not you believe that a religious fanatic with a nuclear weapon will do what he's openly saying he will do," he said.
"I believe this is such a high risk that it is utterly irrational for us not to have a strategy that says in the next two to three years this regime is going to be changed."
Gingrich compared the situation the international community now faces with that faced by Britain and U.S. vis-a-vis Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
The question was, would the U.S. today emulate Stanley Baldwin, the pre-war British prime minister criticized for pursuing appeasement with Hitler, or the wartime hero Winston Churchill.
"Our objective should be the systematic replacement of this [Iranian] regime," Gingrich said, calling for diplomatic and financial support for the "forces of independence" inside Iran.
If a peaceful transition to democracy was not successful, however, the U.S. may have to resort to force
"Here's a simple test question which I think every person should ask themselves: If one morning we lose several cities to nuclear weapons and you say to yourself, 'What is it I wish I had done the day before?' Wouldn't it be a lot better to do it?"

ISPE Product/Service Marketing Communications Manager
Tel: +1-813-960-2105, ext. 309
Fax: +1 813.264.2816
(TAMPA, FLORIDA, USA, 26 July 2013) – Delegates will gain from the vast knowledge of Nobel Laureate, Dr. Oliver Smithies, during his plenary session "Where Do Ideas Come From" at ISPE's Biotechnology, a two-day Symposium August 27-28, 2013 in Durham, North Carolina USA.
Dr. Oliver Smithies
Smithies is the Weatherspoon Eminent Distinguished Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at University of North Carolina. In the 1950s, he described the first high resolution electrophoresis system (starch gel), and discovered that normal humans have unsuspected inherited differences in their proteins. His technique of starch-gel electrophoresis opened vast areas of new study. With this technique, Smithies uncovered protein polymorphisms in normal persons and worked on the heredity of several blood proteins.
In 1985, Smithies described his second ground-breaking technique – the use of homologous recombination to alter a human gene in a living cell. With this technique, he has determined how genes affect blood pressure in healthy persons, and how the same genes influence the kidney problems that affect some people with diabetes.
In addition to Smithies' presentation, Dr. James Talton, CEO Nanotherapeutics and David Doleski, Director, Division of Good Manufacturing Practice Assessment, CDER, FDA, will present. Talton is a co-inventor of Nanotherapeutics' technologies and has several authored peer-reviewed publications and book chapters involved in drug delivery systems with a primary focus in drug analysis and controlled release formulations, pharmacokinetics, and pulmonary drug delivery.
"These expert speakers will serve as outstanding leads into this new conference that explores advances in biopharmaceutical manufacturing, facility design and integration to help companies develop and validate future projects and next-generation manufacturing systems," said Nancy Berg, President and CEO of ISPE.
Attendee registration is open. Those interested can learn more at www.ISPE.org/2013BiotechConference.

Montpelier Winter 2000
In the recent holiday season, I once again had the pleasure of watching the classic 1946 movie, It's a Wonderful Life. I suspect that most of you have seen this seasonal favorite. You remember the story: Jimmy Stewart plays George Bailey, a nice young man who tries but never succeeds in making it out of his quiet birthplace of Bedford Falls. While his friends go off to fame and fortune, George marries his high school sweetheart and stays home to run his family's building and loan association. Through no fault of his own, some funds of the building and loan are misplaced and it looks like George will lose the family business and even face fraud charges.
George feels that his life has been a waste. In despair, he stands on a bridge and contemplates suicide. Then an angel named Clarence shows George what life in Bedford Falls would have been like without him. George quickly learns that his life did make a difference. Without George, Bedford Falls would have been dramatically altered for the worse.
The movie prompted me to think about how the actions of one person can so significantly affect the lives of others. Clarence, the Angel, Second Class, summed it up best: "Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?"
If you are an alumna or alumnus, you know how deeply the thoughts and wisdom of that one very special professor at JMU affected your life. There is no question that historian Henry Brooks Adams was right when he said "a teacher affects eternity." The influence of a good teacher endures forever.
This influence on others is not confined to the faculty alone. Those of us in the university community also have our lives continuously altered in a positive manner through exposure to the bright young men and women who populate our campus. All of us grow stronger and wiser through contact with one another.
Private giving by our alumni and friends can also have a lasting effect on the university. Without endowed professorships and private support, a good number of our finest professors might move on to higher-paying jobs. And, our student body might look very different without private scholarship aid. We could lose many of our extraordinary young men and women -the brightest students, skilled artists, accomplished musicians, talented athletes.
With no private giving, our campus wouldn't look the same. The new Leeolou Alumni Center, now under construction, would never be. Showker Hall would lack much of the quality that has gone into the building. The Edith J. Carrier Arboretum, a priceless treasure of nature for the area, would remain as unmanaged woodland.
There would still be a James Madison University without private funding - but it would be a far different JMU. Bedford Falls without George Bailey degenerated into the dark and sinister Pottersville. JMU certainly wouldn't change as dramatically but, without private support, it could become a quite unexceptional place.
State funding and student tuition will enable us to continue operating JMU. And, yes, with money only from the state and students, JMU would still be a very good institution of higher learning. Without the edge of excellence that private money brings, however, JMU's national recognitions could evaporate, the huge number of applications we receive could dwindle and keeping quality faculty members could become exceedingly difficult.
As important as private funding has been to JMU's past, it will become even more important in the future. I urge the alumni and friends of James Madison University to dedicate themselves to helping the university maintain and expand its standing as one of America's finest institutions of higher learning.
It will take a united effort. In a statement that reminds me of JMU's All Together One (TM) concept, George Bailey gave his neighbors -and us -some good advice: "We've got to stick together . ... We've got to have faith in each other."

It's highly unusual for a chief executive to field questions about a communications executive, but Olivia Wirth is not your run-of-the- mill public relations spokesperson.
At Friday's heated
"I find it very disappointing regarding some of the attacks being levelled at Olivia when she's doing her job," he said. "It's very disappointing. I think she's done an excellent job for us and is a credit to Qantas."
Much of the crowd applauded. It is an indication of how high profile Wirth has become since joining the airline as head of communications around two years ago and taking on her new role as corporate affairs boss in April this year.
Wirth, as they say in public relations, has become part of the story. It is part of a deliberate strategy to fill the void sometimes left by corporations involved in major industrial disputes. She makes no apologies.
"It's part of the job. That sort of exposure is part of looking after government corporate affairs, weather incidents and the like attract a lot of media," she says.
Wirth has worked in a number of communications roles before joining the Flying Kangaroo. Early jobs included the Australian Tourism Commission, which she parlayed into a role as a media adviser to Joe Hockey, then Minister for Small Business and Tourism. Wirth had a stint as executive of lobby group Transport and Tourism Forum before joining Qantas in 2009.
Former Telstra and News Corporation communications and media relations executive Andrew Butcher said he's been impressed with how Wirth has conducted herself. "She's stepped into that role at a critical time and is doing brilliantly," he said.
"Her approach has been pretty brave to put herself out there, which opens you up to criticism from all angles, including unions, management and the media."
Former spinner and current Media Monitors boss Ian Kortlang agrees Wirth has done a good job but warns: "There's a time when a very efficient talking head is not the person to have up doing the talking. It's time for the CEO to do that".
Wirth's PR strategy has been constant engagement – and disclosure – with the media and government. Unlike Qantas's 2008 industrial relations dispute with the engineers, where the company's relative silence left a void for the unions to fill and saw perceptions of the brand plummet, Wirth has put either herself or Joyce up for daily grabs to ensure the column inches have been dominated by the airline. It was the same strategy deployed after the A380 engine explosion, her handling of which saw her secure the corporate affairs job.
Wirth, 36, says media calls begin at 6am and it is a 24-hour media operation during busy times such as the volcanic eruption in Iceland.
Wirth may accept she has become far more prominent but, like all good PR operatives, makes sure she defers to the boss when asked if she is now the face of Qantas. "Alan is the figurehead of Qantas. There's no doubt about that. This has been an extraordinary 12 months, we would like not to be in the media. We don't want to be headline news," she said.
"Unfortunately the focus is on the red tail and it's part and parcel of being a national airline."

Oh my word you should have heard my daughter slam the door on her way out this morning. I was in the bathroom and she didn't know I was up, and she's mad because I haven't picked up her phone yet from the principal.
The way she slammed the door, even if I go pick it up today she my not get it back!

Afternoon Yakksters! It's an uproar in the BB world today. CBS has made last-minute changes in a scramble to avoid the wrath of Chima. She has been threatening production that she will wreck havoc on the live show tonight if the "mystery" power is used to overthrow her nominations! So CBS's solution? Tape the "live" show…or at least, that's what we think. Earlier this morning, we noticed a message on the CBS website saying the live feeds will be down all day until 6PM PST/9PM EST. That leads us to believe BB has scrambled to tape tonight's show to have the chance to edit out anything that Chima (or any other houseguest) would have done that might have gotten CBS in trouble if shown live. On top of that, we're being told that CBS has turned away nearly 100 ticket holders for tonight's live audience … So what do you think? Does this ruin the chance of what could have been one of the best Big Brother episodes of all-time? Does this ruin the chance of those who paid for the live feeds to not be able to see the aftermath of the Coup being used if there's a lapse between the show's taping & airing? What about the "VIPs" that will watch the show be taped? Come talk about it with us in our forums and our live feed updates and be sure to join us after the show for up-to-the minute updates & discussion!! Don't forget to join Ahrean's Show threads to keep up with the action as it happens with all of us!
Click on below for the latest rumors regarding tonight's "live" show (updated as they come in)! Stick to the Yak for all your BB needs!!
Jeff used the power! He put up Natalie, then Jessie. The vote was done immediately. It was 3-2. Jessie was evicted! Voting to evict Jessie was Jordan, Kevin and Michelle.To evict Natalie was Russell and Lydia.(Jeff did not get to vote). Chima DID get to play in the new HOH. It was a comp. where questions were asked of two people, the winner of that round got to pick the next two people to go up against each other and so on. When Kevin got his question right, he pitted Jeff and Russell against each other, Jeff got it right. Cos thinks it was either Chima or Natale that pitted Jeff and Jordan against each other. (bitch!) It came down to Michelle and Kevin. Michelle won HOH.
Thanks to TVGrapevine for the info!

Latest is to provide the lookup functions in foreign.c, and use the same functions for all the different fdw's. I was about to implement those but got distracted. Will resume now. regards, Martin

Sparkly Louboutins for doughnuts? Yup, that's how I do it. :)
Hubs always laugh at my choice of footwear because I seem to wear the most inappropriate (in other people's eyes, not my eyes) footwear. He'll look down at my feet and say "Oh yes, 5 inch Miu Miu heels* for Costco, how appropriate." LOL. But my reasoning is that if you buy shoes for "special" occasions you'll never wear them so why not just pull them out for every day and get the joy out of them that was intended when you bought them? Everyday is a special occasion in my book!
*I have to say that I'm most impressed with my husband's memory of shoe designers and recognizing them. He almost always gets it right. Oh how I've trained him well. hehehe ;)

There may be a number of reasons why you would need to apply for a British passport in the US. Perhaps you have been living in the United States for some years and your British passport is near its expiry date; or you have been listed on your parent's passport and are now applying for your first one; you may have a child who is under the age of 16 and you are applying for their first passport, or renewing an existing one; or you may have lost or had stolen your existing British passport.
Whatever the reason, all British passports can be applied for here in the United States – you do not need to return to the UK to apply, and you do not need to send your application to the UK.
However, you should be aware that there are several different application forms, and which one you need to complete depends on whether you are an adult or a child. All forms can be downloaded and printed from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) website, or you can use the 'Smart' Passport Application system. This is a clever system (hence the name!) that uses just one form to figure out what kind of passport you need to apply for, depending on the answers you give to the questions it asks. Smart is an interactive PDF that you should download from the FCO website and save to your computer then complete in your own time, and print it once you're done. The benefit of this system is that you don't need to worry about whether you're completing the correct application form as it does it all for you.
Eligibility for a British Passport
If you're applying for a first time UK passport you need to make sure you are eligible to apply, i.e. you have a claim to British nationality. Determining whether you're eligible can be a complicated process and passport officers in the United States will not be able to give individuals a definitive answer, so please look at the Direct Gov Identity and Passport Service guide for more information.
Application Forms for British Passports in the US
Once you've determined you are eligible to apply you can complete the application form. Applying for your first UK passport is more complicated than simply renewing an existing one as the passport office will need to verify your identity and your claim to nationality. You will need to have your passport photos countersigned and you will need to provide supporting documents, however, the exact specifications depend on when and where you were born.
Applying to renew an existing British passport is more straightforward, provided you have the old passport in your possession as this will need to be sent with your application.
Note that if your passport is lost or stolen you should complete form LS01 as soon as possible so that your passport can be cancelled.
Where to Apply for a British Passport in the US
All British passport applications in the US are processed at the Regional Passport Processing Centre in Washington DC, which is located within the British Embassy. Applications should be sent by secure mail such as USPS Priority Mail service, or with a courier service such as UPS, so that you can get confirmation that the application has arrived.
Applications can also be sent via a passport agent who will check your application is in order before sending it on. This can add a number of days to your processing time, and may not be advisable if you're in a hurry.
How Long Does it Take?
Once your application has arrived at the processing center it takes several weeks for it to be processed, providing that your application is in order and you are paying the correct fee. The standard processing times for a British passport renewal in the US is four weeks from the date the fee is taken, and for first time applications and lost or stolen passports it is six weeks.
While you can access information about different types of passport services on the UK Passport in USA website, the focus is on professional passport expediting services for British citizens who need tassistance in obtaining their passprots. The same expediter we recommend for U.S. passports, It's Easy Passport, also provides expedited UK passport services.

So I wanted more control than the AFC offers and didn't want to mess with a standalone. So I bought the Unichip and the tuner licence. I haven't installed it yet, but it looks like pretty basic stuff. The tuning software is pretty standard tuning software as well and it should be easy enough to learn.

The last three decades have witnessed dramatic changes in the structure of supply and demand for fish, especially in Asia. This WorldFish research study sponsored by the Asian Development Bank focussed on nine developing countries – Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam, all active players in the transformation of global fish supply and demand. The study, broken into five components and reported here, considered: 1) the profile of key aquaculture technologies and fishing practices; 2) analysis of policies, institutions and support services; 3) socioeconomic profile of major stakeholders in the fisheries sector; 4) projections of fish demand and supply in the nine Asian countries; and 5) formulation of national action plans based on the findings and recommendations of the study.

I have a Soekris net4801 (running m0n0wall) in a cramped half-cab,
stacked in the small space between the top-most racked equipment and
the top of the cab. Works great, although it only handles about
40Mbits of traffic (with moderately complex firewall rules) before
hitting CPU limits. Power consumption is low, as is heat generation.

Mindy Kaling Gets All Up In Fox's Ladybits Playing An OB/GYN In New Sitcom
Sitcoms for everyone! Mindy Kaling is the latest lady we love to get her own show: a source tells NYmag.com that Fox will be ordering a pilot written and starring the fabulous Miss K. The "Office" star will play an OB/GYN as "young Bridget Jones type … trying to navigate both her personal and professional lives." Obstretics and gynecology are actually something our girl Mindy knows about in real life, seeing as her mama is a gyno in Boston. I'm suspending judgment for now: I love Mindy Kaling as much as the next 20something liberal arts degree-holding urban female, but it remains to be seen where stirrups and Pap smears are funzies on TV.

The season's first week may reflect what awaits Morse when he finally does return to the everyday lineup.
Entering Saturday, Washington pitchers had a 1.92 ERA, the best in the major leagues. They were second in strikeouts with 79, two fewer than the Dodgers. There's nothing fluky about it -- they're throwing strikes and getting people out.
Both losses after eight games were by a single run. Both games were quite winnable with a key hit that never came.
Offensively, the Nationals hit .241 over the first eight games. That puts them 17th in the majors, 10 spots better than they finished in 2011. Both Ryan Zimmerman and Danny Espinosa were hitting below .200, but Ian Desmond and Adam LaRoche look like All-Stars -- so far, anyway.
After LaRoche struck out three times Opening Day in Chicago, many fans proclaimed his demise, insisting the Nats needed to cut ties with the veteran immediately. Following an off-day, LaRoche returned with the type of swings usually seen much later in the season for LaRoche. His 2011 season ended on May 21, but perhaps this is what LaRoche would have played like last year had he been able to play into the summer months.
Desmond's start has been the biggest energizer for the offense. He's not the prototypical leadoff hitter, but how many of those guys are really out there? He's almost a cinch to swing at the first pitch he sees -- not exactly desirable in a leadoff man -- but is putting the ball in play the same way he did over the final 40 games last year. He has the manager's confidence, and that may be enough.
While the Nationals await the return of Morse, they're also awaiting the arrival of Bryce Harper. But it's not the 19-year-old Harper who's breaking out in upstate New York so far. It's first baseman Tyler Moore. Moore, a 25-year-old right-handed power bat, is off to a scorching start with the bat. He's simply repeating what he did at Single-A and Double-A ball. It's uncertain where Moore sits in the Nats' prospect pecking order, but he can definitely lash.
We're seeing Washington's best baseball start in 60 years. It's safe to say they won't play .750 baseball all year, but their pitching depth and even slightly better hitting should be enough to move them into that .530-.550 range by October, and that's near-playoff caliber.

As the weather begins to creep up higher into the 60s we are finally seeing some sleeveless shirts. I know I speak for everyone up here in state when I say FINALLY! So far we have braved one of the worst winters of all time. So now that it is starting to warm up and get nicer out, we have a great excuse to ditch our parkas and start dressing for warmer weather.
This Fashionisto debut's a great outfit for one of the first days of spring. He kept it simple yet casual. I love when a Fashionisto can rock a great tank top and now is the perfect time to ditch the sleeves.
He sports a black and white striped tank top with a black front pocket. This tank top is one that has come into style in the past couple of years with the front pocket or frocket as some like to call it. This Stussy tank top is similar to this Fashionisto's and is perfect to wear all spring and summer long. This tank top by Staple is similar as well and also involves color blocking another popular trend of the season. This tank top by Akomplice is one that really shows off the frocket look.
Hint: The good thing about the frocket is that there is a tank top out there for each and every day of spring or each and every mood you're in. If you're feeling patriotic, here's a tank top for that. The best thing about the weather finally warming up is the freedom to wear what you want and always pair your outfit with a fun pair of sunglasses. So don't forget to ditch those sleeves–suns out guns out!

|Continuous integration and deciding whether to build
|Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:24:25 GMT
Hello, As an introduction, I have an existing build system that I'm trying to improve by using Ivy. I think Ivy is very cool, so big thanks for it! I have a build server with projects checked out from CVS in one directory like this: projectA/ projectB/ projectC/ projectD/ .... Each project has in its root directory a build.xml and ivy.xml which also come from CVS. Each of these projects can build, tag, etc, itself and finally publish its artifact to an Ivy repository independently without directly referencing other projects. Now I'd like to implement a simple script which polls CVS and builds automatically builds new artifacts from projects which, well, need to be built. I can quite easily get a list of these projects with the Ant task buildlist sorted so that, for example, if A depends on B, B gets built and published before A. During the buildlist processing, the script goes through each of the projects to see if there are any changes in CVS and if there are, the project gets built. This works fine except that there are also the dynamic "latest.integration" revisions in the ivy.xmls and the script doesn't know if some if the dynamic revisions have changed by just polling CVS. I think that my script would work like I wanted it to if it would trigger a new build if the project has changed in CVS since the last build *or* if the dynamic revisions have changed. Therefore I'm now wondering what's the best way to check whether the dynamic revisions have changed. My script can get to the "static" ivy.xml of the previous build. It perhaps would work if the script executed "resolve", "delivered" a new static ivy.xml and then somehow diffed the static dependencies of the previous static ivy.xml to the new static ivy.xml to decide whether a new build should be triggered. Are the some easy ways to check if the dependencies of the latest resolved ivy.xml differ from those of a previously resolved ivy.xml? Or you think my approach is way off and that I should do it some other way?

I'd say a few other things but I want this message out there, to be read by all, so they can see just exactly what you are and how you do it!!

Ryan Phillippe Really Wants That DNA Test
"Just here to hope it comes out black. Wink."
Model Alexis Knapp apparently gave birth to a baby girl as Ryan Phillippe watched in the delivery room, according to People, which sounds well and good until the first sentence reveals it's never been proven he's the father. So basically Ryan Phillippe stood in a delivery room yelling, "Prick it! Prick its blood!" at a newborn baby which is why there's someone I'd like him to meet: Casey Anthony, Ryan Phillippe. Ryan Phillippe, Casey Anthony.

A video shows counselors calling for violent conquering of Jaffa and Acre (Akko).
"My family, we are from Jaffa," Majd told me with a sad smile.
We will act to correct this situation and develop a plan to ensure that Jaffa maintains its Jewish character.
Jaffa, ISRAEL—Israeli tour guide Yuval Ben-Ami, 37, waves his arm down the shore towards Tel Aviv.
Even with all these forces working against them, graduating students from Jaffa to Jenin still manage to dream big.
"Nothing will induce aunt Mary to mount a steed since the day she was lifted out of her saddle at Jaffa," said Caroline.
But he could keep the army no longer in the tainted air of Jaffa.
At length, the solemn and sonorous voice of the muezzin, from the minarets of Jaffa, came floating on the air.
To Nebi Sari, which is a pretty weli, two hour only from Jaffa.
Jaffa, however, after it had again fallen into the hands of Saladin, was recovered by the impetuous valor of the English king.

Bill Tapper was born in Evanston, Ill., in 1905. Nurtured by Calvary Baptist Church in Evanston, he graduated from Bethel Academy in 1928 and went on to Bethel Seminary, St. Paul, Minn., graduating in 1931. He received a B.A. from Macalester College, St. Paul, Minn., in 1934, serving Becker Baptist and the Ebenezer Mission (later Grace Baptist) of Minneapolis during his student days. Ordained at Grace Baptist Church in 1931, he served as their pastor until 1935, then served as pastor of Bethel Baptist Church in Duluth, Minn., from 1935 to 1943. In 1943, Tapper was called to be director of a new Bible school and young people's work for the Baptist General Conference. He traveled extensively, visiting all 15 districts and 341 churches. In 1948, he became pastor of Edgewater Baptist Church in Minneapolis. During these years he also served as an adjunct professor at Northwestern Bible College. In 1953, the conference asked him to assume the newly-established role of Executive Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
Tapper had a heart that had been damaged by rheumatic fever when he was a child. Doctors advised against stressful responsibility; never the less, he cheerfully accepted the opportunity to serve God through the role of Executive Secretary of the Board of Trustees. He served in this role for five years until his death in 1958 at the age of 53. Bill was married to Eva Nelson Tapper and they had three children, Miriam, John, and a child that died shortly after birth.
Under Tapper's leadership, the conference continued the work of expansion and consolidation begun in 1945. A conference-wide stewardship program, United Mission for Christ, was designed, which "seeks to unify the churches and conference boards into a oneness of purpose, plan, and performance" (Guston and Erickson, p. 228). In the area of home missions, the Vancouver Bible Institute was accepted under the conference umbrella. Work began on an outreach program to Native Americans in Northern Minnesota, and missions work in Alaska and Mexico was expanded. The Revolving Building Trust Program, an investment program to provide money for church construction, began. The Baptist General Conference World Mission program, begun in 1944, continued to grow. A mission hospital in Assam was founded and the Philippine mission opened a new work in Masbate. Brazil became the first South American field, and plans were made for expanding work to Argentina. The world mission staff grew from 59 in 1952 to 112 in 1958, and the mission budget doubled to more than $550,000.
Publications within the conference reached significant milestones, including the first printing of Gordon Johnson's My Church in 1957, still used today for membership orientation in conference churches. An extensive series of leadership training books was also published. A joint venture on Sunday School papers with the Covenant Press ended; in its place, staff prepared material to be published by Gospel Light Publications and distributed not only in Baptist General Conference churches but in evangelical churches across the country. In 1957, G. George Erickson, who had been involved with conference publications for over 34 years, retired, marking the end of an era.
The crucial role Bill Tapper played in establishing a central leadership position for the Baptist General Conference is summed up in these words from a Standard article in August 1969: "It was with considerable reticence that the trustee board and the conference established the office of executive secretary of the trustee board several years ago. But when the ministry of Rev. William Tapper proved the wisdom of the decision, it was decided, after his death, to establish the office of general secretary of the conference" (Standard, August 1969).

|Northcutt, Carroll win qualifier races, while Johnson and Mannis set personal best
|From Staff Reports
April 24, 2006 - MESQUITE - In their final tune-up before this weekend's regional meets, dozens of Hopkins County track and field athletes participated in regional qualifier meets, and three of them came back with gold medals.
Sulphur Springs went to Mesquite for its annual regional qualifiers meet, while athletes from Como-Pickton and North Hopkins traveled to Gladewater.
Sulphur Springs
The SSHS distance runners again came through with outstanding performances, while the girls were paced by shot putter Bridgette Nash and middle distance runner Kelsey Evans.
For the boys, juniors Graham Northcutt and Kasie Carrell each won their respective races. Northcutt ran the 1,600 meters in 4 minutes, 28.61 seconds, cutting three seconds off of his personal best, while Carrell took first in the 800 in 2:00.30.
They will each be running both races at the Class 4A, Region II meet Friday and Saturday at Fouts Field at the University of North Texas in Denton.
Sophomore Tate Ramirez took second in the 3,200-meter run in a time of 10:25, and freshman Dylan Rutherford, who is a regional alternate, was fourth in 10:32.
SSHS coach Jeff Riordan said the Wildcats did well, especially after a grueling week of workouts.
"We had our distance boys place well," he said. "They got out there and ran their best times of the year, and that's all we can ask. We had some good times, the kids worked hard and they competed well."
Shot putter Rodney Evans placed fifth with a throw of 42 feet, 6 inches, and high jumper Kaylon Page did not place.
For the Lady Cats, Nash threw 40-8 1/2 to place second. That was almost a foot farther than she threw in winning the District 12-4A meet.
Evans, meanwhile, placed fourth in the 800-meter run in a time of 2:34. She also ran a leg on the mile relay along with Kaitlyn Black, Whitney Roland and Trashonda Green. They did not place, but ran a time of 4:16.
The 800-meter relay team of Roland, Green, Tanya Runion and Molly Smith were seventh in a personal best time of 1:47.4.
"We get the kids in there, work them out and let them run their races and try to improve their times," Riordan said. "We had good outcomes. Anytime you get people to the regional qualifiers meet and have them placing, that's the best of the best."
The Lady Cats got another dose of good new Monday morning when they found out that freshman miler Cecily Adams, who was a regional alternate after finishing fourth at district, will get to participate in the regional meet after a North Lamar runner dropped out of the mile to concentrate on the two-mile.
North Hopkins
GLADEWATER - Sophomore distance runner Jessi Mannis ran a personal record in two different races, and junior Ebbonye Johnson matched her best in the high jump as the Lady Panthers prepared for their regional meet this weekend.
Mannis finished second in the 3,200-meter run in a time of 11 minutes, 59 seconds, the first time she has finished under 12 minutes. She then came back and ran the 1,600 in a time of 5:35, which was also her best.
Sabra Thomas came in fourth in the metric two-mile with a 12:23 clocking, and Rosa Fuentes was sixth in 12:50. Thomas was also eighth in the 1,600 in 5:40.
Johnson, who will be competing in four events at the regional meet, placed in three of them on Friday. She won the high jump with a leap of 5-6, which matched her personal best, and she was second in the long jump with a 17-5 effort. In the 200, Johnson finished sixth in 26.80 seconds.
She will also be running the 400 at the Class A, Region III meet set for Friday and Saturday at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches.
GLADEWATER - Sophomore distance runner Bethanie Stinson finished in between the North Hopkins runners in the 3,200, finishing third in a time of 12:00, and then was fourth in the 1,600 in 5:30.25.
Freshman Maci Kight set a personal best in the discus with a throw of 89-10, but did not place.
Deanna Garrett and Shelby Harrison both participated in the pole vault, with Garrett clearing 8-6 and Harrison 7-0.
For the boys, Reece Caddell tied his person best in the pole vault by clearing 12-6.
Como-Pickton will be traveling to Turner Stadium in Humble on Friday and Saturday for the Class 2A, Region III meet.

Denver, Colorado – (The Hosting News) – December 2, 2008 – Web hosting company, Webair, will deploy the authoritative name server software designed to increase the availability and security of DNS infrastructure, Secure64 DNS Authority, across all of its data centers worldwide.
In addition, the software is designed to reduce its operational costs, and provide its customers with comprehensive protection against network threats such as malware and DoS attacks. Secure64 DNS Authority's proven capability ensures that Webair's DNS infrastructure will be immune to malware, always available, and able to withstand denial-of-service attacks while still responding to legitimate queries – unlike other DNS applications that fail during network attacks.
Sagi Brody, CTO of Webair noted, "Webair is growing quickly and the rapidly increasing number of domains we host for customers put too much of a burden on our previous DNS solution. By using Secure64 DNS Authority, we not only have nearly unlimited scalability with 100% availability, we have also been able to save money by dramatically consolidating our DNS servers from 35 to 8. The most important reason for selecting Secure64, though, is security. It ensures that our customers will be protected no matter what."
Steve Goodbarn, CEO and Director of Secure64 remarked, "The traditional approach to protecting DNS infrastructure is inefficient. That approach, which requires hardening, patching and protecting the DNS with security devices is costly, time-intensive and ultimately ineffective. By deploying Secure64 DNS Authority, Webair is securing its DNS infrastructure for the future and paving the way for continued growth of its business."
Secure64 DNS Authority delivers the security and availability required in today's networks, without the cost and complexity of conventional solutions. Unlike 'hardened' systems that require constant patching, maintenance, and investment to keep threats at bay, Secure64 DNS Authority is genuinely secure as a result of an architecture that is fully immune to compromise from rootkits and malware as well as completely resistant to network attacks. In addition, its high speed network I/O stack dramatically improves DNS query performance, allowing Secure64 DNS Authority to achieve over 100,000 queries per second, the highest performance of any authoritative name server.
Features and benefits of Secure64 DNS Authority include the following:
- Eliminates OS hardening and emergency vulnerability patching
- Eliminates the need for network security devices to protect DNS
- Responds to 100 percent of legitimate queries while under attack
- Remains available during restarts
- Consolidates DNS servers
- Is immune to rootkits and malware
- Supports DNSSEC
Webair provides affordable, managed web hosting solutions for companies of all types and sizes, including world-renowned musicians, manufacturers, media companies and professional services firms. Webair provides all of hardware, software and support necessary to meet their customers' needs for co-location services, dedicated and virtual servers, content delivery networks, global load balancing, off-site backups and more. Webair operates its own fiber optic network and state-of-the-art datacenters located in New York, Los Angeles, Montreal and Amsterdam, and the company has a world-renowned reputation for providing the highly reliable Internet services.
Headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado, Secure64 is a software developer providing secure, self-protecting, high performing server applications. Secure64's core technology is SourceT, a patent pending Genuinely Secure micro OS designed from the ground up to make the micro OS and any applications running on it immune to rootkits and malware and resistant to network attacks. Unlike conventional operating systems with insecure architectures, SourceT does not need to be hardened, patched and protected to minimize exposure to vulnerabilities.
SourceT applications such as Secure64 DNS Authority and Secure64 DNS Signer do not require protection from firewalls, intrusion prevention or DDoS mitigation devices.

Recently I finished a pair of socks.
They are based on a pattern designed by Elizabeth Zimmermann and Meg Swansen. The pattern is called Arch-Shaped Stockings. And they are.
The socks have an arch shape, and snugly fit the sole of your foot.
I have a high arch. And despite what the so-called experts say about knitting socks, just adding extra length to the arch is not nearly as comfortable as the curved arch in these socks. So the socks I knit from this pattern are among my favorites.
I like a ribbed sock, because it hugs my leg and foot better. And yes, you can alter patterns for socks too.
Personally I'm not fond of the saddle heel turn to wear. A Christmas stocking is a different matter. I did put saddle heels in my Christmas Stocking Patterns, which are not worn. It makes a nice heel if you want a different color for the heel. And knit Christmas stockings are not meant to be worn!
For the saddle heel, basically you knit a square, and then turn the heel near the bottom of the foot. You end up picking up 12 or more stitches along two sides of the square. I found a heel from a book in the 1940s that only requires picking up 3 or 4. The turn begins higher, and makes more of a mitered heel.
I like the way it fits my foot. You may like a different heel. And that's perfectly fine…
So, what are my "Rules For How To Knit Socks"?
- The right way to knit is your way. This goes for anything you knit! 🙂
- Choosing 2 circular needles or double-pointed ones is a personal preference. I have some bamboo double-pointed needles I like to use for knitting socks. The wooden needles seem to hold the yarn better. And I find 2 circular needles require more concentration to remember which needle to use when.
- If you're just starting to knit socks, very dark colors like navy blue, dark chocolate brown, black and dark forest green are very hard to knit. My most recent socks were enough for me. I started with 2 skeins of sock yarn, so probably will use the rest for a shawl or scarf. Something I can knit on larger needles!
- Enjoy yourself. Knitting should be FUN!
- Rules 2 and 3 are optional and can be broken. 😉
Ever wonder how knitting rules started?
Mostly they were passed down by mouth from teacher to student. And probably worked well for most, but not necessarily all knitters.
It's fine to have knitting "rules" when they help you knit easier, faster or with more fun. When they become burdensome and take the pleasure out of knitting, it's time to break the rules or make new ones!
Have you lost the joy in your knitting?
Maybe you need to rediscover the power of FUN! "The Laugh Doctor" is ready to show you how. Click here right now to download this book now to put FUN back into your life – quickly, easily and almost effortlessly.
To your healthy and happy knitting & caregiving,

Pens' Nasreddine waits to learn status
Alain Nasreddine will know right before faceoff tonight whether he will play against New Jersey. Defensemen Brooks Orpik (mild concussion) and Darryl Sydor (groin), both of whom sat out Monday's practice, returned to the ice yesterday and showed no ill effects of their injuries.
"It's feeling good and we'll see if it gets tight or anything like that, but I'm expecting to play," Sydor said. "I felt pretty good out there and I was quite surprised that I didn't really feel it too much, but whenever you do have a strain, it's always good to take precautions."
Orpik absorbed a blow to the head by Toronto left wing Simon Gamache in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Maple Leafs but isn't suffering from headaches or nausea. Whether he will play will be a decision made by coach Michel Therrien and not the training staff, which deems him medically cleared to play.
While Orpik and Sydor may dot the lineup tonight it may take a little longer for forward Georges Laraque to reclaim his spot on the fourth line.
Laraque (groin) was kept out of the team's regular workout for the second straight day and, though he did take the ice briefly with strength and conditioning coach Mike Kadar before practice, he stayed out for only a few minutes and was not in full pads.
9 - Consecutive road games New Jersey will play to start the season while the Prudential Center in Newark is completed.
48 - Evgeni Malkin's rank (tied with 33 others) among the NHL's scoring leaders, the highest of any Penguins player.

This isn't the first time I've seen a business commit internet suicide and it probably won't be te last. Most businesses have no idea as to how to handle internet issues. I don't think the experience Coontie had while buying his car deserved his offending post. But in no case did Coontie deserve the treatment he received at Flow.
Flow is following the expected pattern. It appears they have enlisted a customer, BMWBabe, to come to their rescue. Now, I'll wager someone from the Flow will chime in an stick his foot deeply into his gullet.
The trick is to keep the ball rolling. This thread is probably cross linked to a few other boards by now and Flow is feeling pretty uncomfortable.
BTW, I'm a liberal. Being a conservative is insult enough, but I'll leave that for another day.
Telepath wanted: you know where to apply.

Good, Better, Best: Contemporary Computer Armoires
Yesterday, I showed you three classical computer armoires that let you set up a home office anywhere. But for those of you with edgier tastes, I decided to round up three more office armoires with a more modern vibe.
Good: Though the Ikea Cyril Computer Cabinet ($199) isn't as roomy as some others I've found, I love the smart design and minimalist look.
Two even better contemporary computer armoires, so
Better: Simple yet elegant, the Room & Board Calvin Armoire ($2,399) has a drop-down desk and chic, subdued hardware. It's available in a dark wood stain (shown), as well as a medium stain and a natural look.
Best: Pinch Design makes three armoire collections that can be customized in countless ways. I am particularly fond of the two-door Marlow Armoire with the office interior (from $5,570).

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice J. Michael Eakin sometimes feels inspired to dispense justice with the aid of a rhyming dictionary. His latest opinion includes lines such as:
Convicted of the forgery, insurance fraud, and theft,
he admits the first and last, but denies the charge that's left.
He claims the sentence for insurance fraud is most certainly amiss —
he says "I may be guilty, but I'm just not guilty of this.
My sentence is inappropriate — undo the wrongful conviction"
And in the end, seeks this relief from our appellate jurisdiction.
The full decision is available here.

Zephyrhills has announced its five finalists for the football head coaching search.
One person not on the list is Hudson coach Mark Nash, who withdrew his name from consideration.
The finalists include three Zephyrhills alumni in Troy Hochstetler, Reggie Roberts and Nick Carroll. Also among the five is Rashad West from Winter Park and Pasco assistant Tony Lister.
Hochstetler was a co-interim head coach last season after the school fired Jerrell Cogmon. Roberts played football with Cogmon at Bethune-Cookman. Carroll is an assistant at Sunlake and has also worked with former Chamberlain legend Billy Turner. West was a quarterback at Southeast Missouri State, and Lister has been an assistant at Wesley Chapel and worked alongside Pasco offensive coordinator Brad Starling.
Zephyrhills principal Steve Van Gorden said the nine-person committee will hold additional interviews through Tuesday before announcing the new coach Jan. 22.
"All five I would hire in a heartbeat," Van Gorden said. "We want to make sure this is the fit we need. The situation we were dealt with (former coach Jerrell) Cogmon was not good. We need to make sure we get the right person."

Microsoft has called on the US government and the IT industry to take immediate steps to improve the security of cloud computing.Brad Smith, senior vice president and general counsel at Microsoft, told a Brookings Institution policy forum on Wednesday that businesses need more reassurance when moving data from on-premise infrastructures to private and public clouds.Providers of cloud computing services, like Microsoft, need to make their security policies more transparent, Smith insisted, adding that the US government should introduce data protection policies specific to the cloud and come down harder on datacentre hackers."One obvious attribute of the cloud is that information is typically stored on a server computer controlled by a third party. This makes it all the more important for service providers to be thoughtful and clear in deciding and communicating what they will do with this information," he said."Equally important, we need government action to ensure that, as information moves from the desktop to the cloud, we retain the traditional balance of individual privacy vis-à-vis the state."Government will play a key role, not only in using cloud computing to enhance transparency and improve its services, but in moving the law forward to keep pace with technology."Smith added that the conversation about cloud security needs to be global because there is so much global data legislation relating to privacy and security."It needs to take place in Washington DC, but it needs to include individuals from across the country and in many other countries as well," he said.A recent Microsoft survey of business leaders' attitudes to cloud computing found that 86 per cent are excited about the initiatives, but that 90 per cent are concerned about the security, access and privacy of data in the cloud.

Precision guidance with impact angle requirements
Ford, Jason J. (2001) Precision guidance with impact angle requirements. Defence Science and Technology Organisation.
The weapon system guidance problem involves designing control algorithms to achieve weapon trajectories with predetermined interception conditions. The need to investigate precision guidance of weapon systems results from recent developments in weapon systems and sub-systems as well as changes in the deployment and operational philosophies.
New precision guidance problems have been posed that include requirements involving impact angle criteria in addition to the requirement for zero miss-distance. These new interception requirements facilitate optimization of the warhead/fuzing and seeker components and hence maximise weapon effectiveness. This paper proposes and analyses two solutions to this precision guidance problem.
The key contribution of this paper is a model of the engagement that highlights the structural properties of weapon trajectories that achieve the precision guidance requirements.
These structural properties are used to develop an ad hoc controller and are further developed to proposed an optimal control solution.
The two proposed control algorithms are examined both through theory and simulation studies for a variety of engagement configurations.
An improved understanding of the precision guidance problem is developed in this paper and this understanding will enable a more thorough and efficient response to the Department of Defence's requirements for assessment, evaluation, advice and modification of weapon systems.
