When Apple Inc kicks off its annual conference for software developers on Monday,... more »When Apple Inc kicks off its annual conference for software developers on Monday, all the power players in the Apple universe will be on hand, save the one that is in many ways driving the agenda: Google Inc. Apple forecasts to publicize its own mapping application on Monday, challenging the position of Google Maps, as one of the most-valued features on iPhone. Apple may announce its own mapping application on Monday, challenging the position of Google Maps, as one of the most-valued features on iPhone. It may promote the latest in Siri, the voice interface the company thinks can continue to set the iPhone and the iPad apart from the Android pack. Moreover, Firm also expects to unveil closer integration of its iPhone apps and iCloudstorage service with all its devices. It is said that it's all about loyalty and basically leveraging the opportunity of selling more to them. Battling in many arenas, the rivals employ different weapons. The Apple's vise-like grip on its ecosystem with the closely managed app store and its seamless integration with the hardware stands in sharp contrast to Google's free-for-all approach. The open system approach, significant of Microsoft Corp's hugely successful strategy of creating standard-setting software that runs on a variability of hardware, has allowed Android to capture the market lead in smartphones.Android has also helped create several potent hardware rivals to Apple. Samsung Electronics' Android-driven Galaxy SIII is drawing favorable comparisons to iPhone and Amazon.com Inc's cheaper Kindle Fire is challenging Apple in tablets and digital content. Apple's expected move to replace Google Maps with its own mapping application is a particularly dramatic example of how the rivalry between the companies has been evolving. Google has invested huge sums in its mapping technology over the years, and about half of its map traffic now comes from iPhones and iPads. Among other things, the traffic from those devices discloses valuable location data that helpsenhance the mapping service and provides features like real-time traffic reports. Apple has spent three years preparing to take mapping back. It has integrated technology from acquisitions such as 3D mapping company C3 Technologies, Canadian startup Poly9 Group and mapping service Placebase, said ISI analyst Brian Marshall. Micron Associates reported that whatever the case, Apple fans and partners can look forward to a fairly action-packed this week. « less jaegerrad August 23, 2012 61 Views More Info Full Credits jaegerrad Uploader Stats & Data 0Funny0Die 61 Views August 23, 2012 Published Category Politics Tags micron trends micron associates news articles madrid spain barcelona fraud world updates Up Next: Get Him To The Greek Opening AUTOPLAY Up Next In: 10 Get Him To The Greek Opening Tough Crowd by ZACH GALIFIANAKIS Demetri Martin in Melbourne Acting With James Franco Episode 1: "Sense Memory" Follow Browse Related Comments Vaguely Related Videos Vaguely Related Pics & Words Advertisement Tags: micron trends micron associates news articles madrid spain barcelona fraud world updates Advertisement

Caps 2, Bruins 1 (2 OT)
Conventional wisdom often gets tossed out the window during the Stanley Cup playoffs. Coming into this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series, most outside observers would have pegged the Boston Bruins as the team that would impose its physical will on the Capitals. It's that ability to brutalize opponents – along with, of course, legitimate top-end skill and a Hall-of-Fame goalie in Tim Thomas – that fueled last spring's championship run.
But someone apparently forgot to mention that the Caps spent the summer adding players who can at least hang in a series like this – tight checking, hard hitting, few odd-man rushes: Troy Brouwer, who scored on Saturday; Joel Ward, who has had two strong games; Jay Beagle, who found space in front of Thomas in overtime and forced a spectacular save. We already know Alex Ovechkin thrives in physical play. Even players like Nicklas Backstrom, John Carlson and, yes, rookie goalie Braden Holtby, have stood up to Boston. Washington's players were almost offended by the notion that the Bruins would be the more physical team.
"It's been one game. I wouldn't say we've been beat up at all," Brouwer said before Game 2. "We've thrown some pretty good hits. Every team's going to have a little bit of a hit advantage in their home building, and it should be that way. I think we're playing very physical against them. It's going to continue that way for the whole series."
After the game, when he had scored a goal and helped the Caps outhit the Bruins in their own building 41 to 36, Brouwer again brought up that curious lack of respect. Not that anyone should have picked Washington to win the series given their regular-season struggles. But Boston probably wasn't going to sweep them out of the playoffs, either. And the Caps seem to have a chip on their shoulder about it.
"Yeah. I don't know why anyone thought we wouldn't be able to," Brouwer said. "We played so well against them in the regular season. Every team's got another gear in the playoffs. But we've played great defensively in the last two games; we were patient. We kept pucks in good areas. We didn't turn pucks over."

The Swarm
The Daft Punk Alive 2007 All Access Post
David Prince
Obviously, we love Daft Punk. We have for a long time. And we loved this year's tour. We've been all over it:
- We were the first to tell you that the robots were in Kanye West's "Stronger" video and that Electroma was headed to theaters in the US.
- We had a discovery: Daft Punk's old helmets are available for $65,000 (permission not included).
- We noticed that YouTube keeps getting harder, better, faster, and stronger.
- We found fantastic footage of the London show.
- We settled the Daft Punk sample debate once and for all (haha).
- We were there the night the tour started in L.A.
- We went to Red Rocks and met the people who make the pyramid glow.
- We scored you free tickets to the Coney Island show.
- Update: We found the video that prompted Daft Punk to tell Will.i.am to throw Mamma from the train.
- Update: We made our own glowing encore outfit and started a Daft Punk Halloween Costume Contest.
- Update: We brought you the world premiere of the "Harder Better Faster Stronger" Alive 2007 video.
- Update: How the 'Daft Punk Girls' made their own helmets.
-Update: Daft Punk and Kanye West named SPIN Magazine's 'Entertainers of the Year'.
-Update: Daft Punk recording new music in Paris studio…
Plus, check out these interviews with Daft Punk from Pitchfork, L.A. Weekly, and Paper.
Today, we round out our coverage of the Alive 2007 tour with two more bits of info:
First, the August issue of Mixmag gets a good look inside the pyramid, and a brief description from Thomas Bangalter about what those guys are really doing on stage. In fact, according to Bangalter, it takes around 10 people working together to put on the Daft Punk live show.
(Click here to see a larger picture.)
"The show revolves around Ableton Live software on custom made super-computers, which we remotely access and control with Behringer BCR2000 midi controllers."
"Next to the ethernet remote computer screens there are four Minimoog Voyagers, the classic analog synthesizers. They're a 30-year old design."
"We can mix, shuffle, trigger loops, filter, distort samples, EQ in and out, transpose or destroy and deconstruct synth lines. We keep some surprises on the side too!"
"There's a direct connection between our rig and the lights and visuals of the show. The light and video engineers can also add or control layers during the show."
"Inside the pyramid are synthesizers and remote controls connected to the rest of the music equipment and computers, which are in rack-mounted towers off stage."
"Working the music equipment, lighting and video equipment, and building the pyramid for each show takes around 10 people, including both of us."
Finally, its now confirmed that the Alive 2007 tour has been recorded, mixed, and mastered for a November CD-only release. The concert recording is from the group's hometown performance in Paris this past June. Its scheduled for a November release.
The album will be released in two versions: a single disc that features the main set from this summer's tour, and a deluxe double disc that will also include the encore (
"Forever," "Together," "Music Sounds Better With You," and "One More Time") and a video for one of the tracks. The video is being directed by Olivier Gondry, and was shot by professional cameramen and more than 100 volunteers at the tour-closing show in Coney Island, NY last week.
Daft Punk currently have one more show on their schedule for 2007, an appearance October 27 at the Vegoose Festival in Las Vegas, NV.
UPDATE: Australian tour + Halloween show in Mexico City added + full live album details and tracklisting here.

Il Volo
"Un Amore Così Grande" – Il Volo
The young Italian tenor trio Il Volo impresses audiences with pitch-leaping vocal performances rich in three-part harmonies. With a name meaning flight, the charming group of crooners continues to drain fuselages as it soars from city to city, riding the forward momentum of their most recent album release, Más Que Amor. The youthful singers belt out surprisingly mature voices powerful enough to wow Italian TV viewers and earn a standing ovation on American Idol. Performing renditions of classic Italian songs as well as material penned by contemporary songwriters, the teenage opera singers showcase budding international appeal and the promise of a bright future.
Tower Theatre
Several decades of disparate architectural styles stand at the corner of 69th and Ludlow: an old-fashioned radio tower atop the Doric columns of a faux-classical cupola atop a streamlined marquee that broadcasts the year the Tower Theatre opened as a music venue: 1972. That's when it began helping introduce the world to such acts as David Bowie, Genesis, and Bruce Springsteen. Inside, red lights glow over an auditorium done up in the 1920s style of the movie palace that originally filled the venue, with marble pillars, Italianate archways, and an enormous light fixture that resembles an old film reel.

Brookfield hopes to save endangered Mexican gray wolves :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Brookfield Zoo has done it again. Regenstein Wolf Woods, which opens June 18, masterfully balances the needs of its Mexican wolf pack with the needs of its visitors.
I toured the exhibit with my 12-year-old daughter, Sara, a big wolf fan. This was her take: "I think it will be fun for kids of all ages. I'm looking forward to using the hidden cameras to see the wolves."
Five years in the making, Wolf Woods will be home to a pack of five Mexican wolves, brothers all. Funded by the Regenstein Foundation, the state of Illinois and donations, the $2.46 million exhibit is part of a joint Mexico-U.S. program to save Mexican gray wolves, the most endangered type of gray wolf in North America.
The zoo hopes to have a breeding pair in a couple years, according to Joan Daniels Tantillo, assistant curator for mammals. "These pairs are very valuable and we want to do a super job with them," she says. "We are very excited to be a part of the recovery program."
Located in the southwest corner of the zoo bordering Indian Lake, Wolf Woods covers 2.1 acres. The lightly wooded area features three pools (wolves like to swim), man-made beaver dams and a stream creating a wetland designed to naturally clean the water.
Shy and secretive, wolves are skittish around humans. To encourage the wolves to stay in view, rocks on three earth mounds will be heated in the winter because warmth-seeking wolves like to survey their territory from heights. The exhibit was "designed in a long, narrow fashion to allow the wolves to get close to visitors," Tantillo says.
A wood-chip trail encircling the perimeter of the exhibit provides five viewing alcoves-two of them offer unobstructed views and are perfect for photographing the wolves. Along the trail visitors encounter graphics and interactive exhibits that illustrate wolf behavior, including a mock kill site that offers clues about wolves' hunting behavior and how other animals and the ecosystem benefit from a wolf kill (the remains provide food for smaller animals and decomposition enriches the soil).
The viewing building has a one-way window for watching the wolves. Five cameras controlled by a computer and operated by visitors provide views of two man-made dens and other exhibit areas. "Wolves tend to lay where people can't see them," Tantillo says.
A replica of a wolf den that is wheelchair accessible encourages youngsters to wheel or crawl through for close-up views of wolves. This area, as well as the main viewing area, has a chute that allows keepers to provide treats that lure wolves closer to visitors. The multi-sensory "Call of the Wolves: A Journey of the Senses" provides a sense of a night hunt, complete with a soundtrack of the nocturnal animals howling.
Brookfield Zoo is at First Avenue and 31st Street in Brookfield. Admission is $8, adults; $4, children 3-11 and seniors 65 and over; children 2 and under free. Parking is $8. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For more information, call (708) 485-0263 or visit www.brookfieldzoo.org.

The finale of the current season of Project Runway is tonight, and I have no idea who will win (though I'm pulling for Sean and will plotz if Char wins), but there's more to fashion tonight than just the main show; immediately following the finale will be the premiere of Project Runway; Threads. It's a great companion series to Toddlers & Tiaras: The show focusses on teens and tweens who are fashion designers, assisted by their parents in executing their designs. The premiere features three contestants, including very gayish 13-year-old Alabaman Bradley; Christian Soriano serves as chief judge.
Maybe I don't understand the trends in reality television, but I just don't find watching children put into pressure-cooker situations to make for good TV. I mean, American Idol already has teenagers being judged harshly, but the show feels dumbed-down, especially with host Vanessa Simmons' condescending narration. (She brings one 12-year-old to tears within the first half hour.)
Next week, Project Runway: All Stars returns with seasoned (adult) contestants preceding this show. I think I'll change channels once All Stars ends — if I wanna see kids cry, I'll watch videos of Neverland Ranch.

4-Channel Power-over-Ethernet Midspan Injector
Power-over-Ethernet uses your LAN to send power via the network cable to whatever device you have connected at the other end, saving you the hassle of plugging the device in to both the network and to power. PoE lets you centralise your power supplies.
Home-brew PoE typically involves trimming back part of a LAN cable, separating out the relevant pairs of cable, cutting them, and soldering on a power socket so you can connect a plug-pack. That works fine, but it's ugly, fiddly, and takes time. Our 4-Channel Power-over-Ethernet Midspan Injector is the solution! Just unplug your LAN cables from your switch, plug them into the "device" ports on the injector, run short LAN cables from your switch to the "switch" ports on the injector, and plug in whatever wall-wart power supply you have handy. Done! No soldering required.
Note: this module does not provide proper, standards-compliant 802.3af PoE support. But it's a whole lot cheaper, and works with just about any home-brew PoE system.
Works great with our Ethernet Shield with PoE support: connect a 12V power source and fit the jumpers directly on the shield at the other end, or connect a 16V or 24V power source and combine it with our Power-over-Ethernet Regulator 14-24V.
- 2.1mm power jack suits many common wall-wart (plug-pack) supplies. Same connector as used on Arduino.
- Input voltage 7V to 24V, either AC or DC, any polarity. Bridge rectifier converts any input to a known-polarity DC output.
- Output voltage is the DC version of whatever you feed into it.
- "Power on" indicator LED.
- Four channels: suitable for powering up to four devices.

While the new cap on the Deepwater Oil Rig in the Gulf of Mexico has as of this week temporarily stopped the months-long oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, environmental scientist Dr. James Cervino said that based on his observations in College Point the Gulf may not be cleaned up for 100 years.
For the last six years, Cervino has been working and doing experiments to restore the marsh grasses in the East River along MacNeil Park. After seeing fellow scientist Michael Blum of Tulane University in New Orleans speak about his research on the effects of the BP oil spill on "The Rachel Maddow Show," Cervino asked Blum to send him crude oil from the Gulf to test on samples of spartina marsh grass growing in the East River along the park.
"These are the types of marsh grasses that are being killed by the BP oil spill," Cervino said.
Early tests of crude oil on the grasses — all done in a laboratory, not on-site —were not good.
"I expose it. It dies," Cervino said, adding that cell death happens within 24 hours.
Yet Cervino's work at home hints at a potential happy ending for environments suffering due to oil spills.
With a $5,000 grant from City Councilman Dan Halloran (R-Whitestone), and a new laboratory at the LandServ Environmental Group in Astoria he moved into last month, Cervino is gearing up to do a series of experiments with the crude. The experiments started in the Florida Keys about three weeks after the BP spill, where Cervino tested the oil crude on coral samples and found they died within 24 hours under undiluted crude.
When he gets his next batch of oil from Blum, Cervino plans to test it on not only samples of the local marsh grass, but also local shellfish, as well as on coral samples and coral cell lines from areas around the globe. The samples will be tested in a laboratory setting and with both undiluted crude oil and diluted crude oil from the Gulf.
"We'll be able to know the toleration limits," Cervino said of the samples he is testing. "How much can they take and how long will it take to recover?"
This question is crucial for Cervino's work in the Gulf and at home. Cervino said that on the site of the nearby Soundview Point Townhouses there was once an illegal landfill from the 1950s to the 1980s. Oil drums were buried within this landfill and oil from the drums leached into the nearby East River. This prevented marsh grasses from growing and killed much of the local wildlife.
But the developer of Soundview cleaned up the site well before building the townhouses, Cervino said, and he is working to bring the wildlife back. Through his experiments, Cervino has found that on sites exposed to oil, no roots can plant about 7 centimeters below the surface. But by electrically stimulating the soil, calcium carbonate and marsh grass can grow where the land was once unable to support life. Cervino has been able to do that through the use of a wire mesh electrically charged via solar panel and has already seen results.
"Whitestone and College Point, we're getting help," Cervino said.
Cervino said he has been regrowing grasses for six years so far. The project will last 10 years and he hopes to get funding for another 10 after that. With his current grant, Cervino also hopes to use it as a starting point to raise $20,000 and create an environmental science community garden at PS 129.
Cervino said he hoped the new cap on the rig works, but hopes this will mark a shift from deepwater drilling to more alternative energy sources, such as solar.
He also hopes restoration can be done in the Gulf.
"Restoration can work," he said. "There's a positive end to this story."

This summer has not been all fun rodeos and giggles for Stephen Harper and his Conservative government. After the furor over the long-form census, the Tories' lead in the polls
New numbers
this morning (from a poll conducted July 28 to Aug. 3) show support for the Conservatives at 29.7% support and the Liberals at 28.5%:
- Conservatives: 29.7%
- Liberals: 28.5%
- Green: 11.1%
- Bloc: 10.4%
- Other: 2.9%
So what do the numbers mean? With a margin of error of 1.8 percentage points, the poll puts the lead within the Liberals' grasp.
Previous results released by the same polling firm gave the Conservatives an 11-point lead in mid-July, in the wake of the G20 summit and the Queen's visit. Since then, the Tories have been under attack for killing Statistics Canada's mandatory
, an issue that has resonated with the public, according to EKOS:
"…It seems to have struck a raw nerve with the more educated class who may see this as an assault on the role of experts, professionals, and knowledge."
The firm also posits that Michael Ignatieff may be reaping the rewards of his down-home Liberal Express bus tour, which was in Newfoundland yesterday.
The Conservative Party appears to be losing support in Quebec and Ontario, while the Liberals are up in the Maritimes and Quebec.
Interestingly, the majority of Canadians polled (51.9%) say the country is headed in the right direction.
The survey included a sample of 3,444 Canadians and has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
The full results are

The Sires were the first known examples of human mutation as a result of imulsion exposure, almost a century before Formers appeared in Mercy and Char. Their children were also studied at the Facility; born with imulsion based birth defects, these children were mutated on a genetic level from birth.[4]
Sires predated the Drones (who were more advanced than the former) and had nothing in common with their biological descendants. Also, while the Drones of the Horde were organized, the Sires were truly savage.[3]
Creation of New HopeEdit
During the early years of the Pendulum Wars, the Coalition of Ordered Governments ordered the opening of the New Hope Research Facility under the junction of the Department of Health. The facility was opened under the name of Jameson Depot with the purpose of researching the mutagenic and teratogenic effects of imulsion on those who worked in depth with the substance. Dr. Niles Samson along with Dr. Stephanie Zimmer, Dr. Doug Sato, and Sven worked in the facility. Niles believed that the Sires represented "a genetic bridge to our future"[5] and hoped they presented themselves as a "survival advantage" against the mutagenic effects of imulsion, an idea Chairman Richard Prescott also entertained years later.[6] After internal information was leaked from someone in New Hope regarding the "children" housed there, the media began questioning the Department of Health, which led to the downfall of the Facility.[7]
After several staff members were attacked by the "children" and the information leak, the COG grew fearful of the reaction of imulsion companies and the health scares that could follow should the truth of imulsion mutation ever become public.[8] To prevent this, Chairman Monroe ordered New Hope to shut down and the "children" moved by foot to Mount Kadar. Niles created an AI in his image and left him to look after the Sires who were left dormant in their stasis tanks.
Arrival of Delta-OneEdit
- Main article: Mission to New Hope Research Facility
- "Those are irreplaceable specimens… …a genetic bridge to our future."
- — AI Niles Samson explaining the Sires' purpose.
14 years after E-Day, on the second day of Frost during Operation: Hollow Storm, CIC ordered Delta-One to investigate New Hope. After gaining accesses to the "abandoned" outpost, Delta discovered Wretches and later the Sires still inside their tanks. While investigating the location of the Locust stronghold the Sires' stasis tanks were accidentally activated, and one after another the Sires fell upon Dom Santiago and Marcus Fenix. The two Gears were able to get past the Sires and shutdown the security systems in New Hope. Any Sires that survived were presumably wiped out by the Imulsion Countermeasure Weapon when it was detonated.
The encounter with the Sires led to another "disagreement" with Chief of the COG Defense Staff, Col.Hoffman and Chairman Richard Prescott, on how Prescott kept secrets from Hoffman about the Sires and New Hope.[9]

Southern Pine Industry Meeting Calls for New Standard-Setting Process ~
The Southern Pine lumber industry is grappling with a major new problem concerning visual lumber grade rules and the mechanical strength of Southern Pine dimensional lumber. Based on recent testing, Southern Pine Inspection Bureau, the accredited agency tasked with writing rules and testing lumber, plans to release new, lower strength values for all dimensions of Southern Pine. But some in the industry are arguing for a go-slow approach for setting new design values for all species of wood — and are pushing for a new standard, not just for the wood, but for the standard-setting process itself. Here's the background: early in 2011, some lumber customers alerted the Southern Pine Inspection Bureau (SPIB), an official industry testing lab and grade-rule writing agency, about performance issues encountered in visually graded Southern Pine wood. Even before the complaints, SPIB had already been routinely testing lumber samples and comparing the test results to the wood's official published strength characteristics. In that routine testing, however, discrepancies between the measured results and the standard's minimum had not been wide enough to trigger a full-scale review of the published values. But in 2011, after receiving anecdotal complaints about structural performance of wood in the market, the SPIB undertook a broader effort to test a systematic sample of hundreds of Southern Pine 2x4s, and compare the results of the new testing against the official strength values (numbers which had been originally established by formal testing back in the 1980s and 1990s). SPIB found that the lumber's industry-wide quality had dropped (at least for 2x4s), and so SPIB has now proposed lowering the published values for tensile strength, strength in bending, and modulus of elasticity of Southern Pine. SPIB's proposal has set off alarm bells across the industry, and kicked off a controversy about how the lumber industry's official rule-seting organization, American Lumber Standard Committee (ALSC), should respond to the new data. Lumber distributors, truss makers, and big builders are all worried about the business impact of any change, and particularly of a too-sudden reduction in the allowable design values for the wood they sell or use. Now, one group of industry "stakeholders" is recommending a change in the SPIB's process for evaluating lumber and grading rules, as well as reform of the ALSC's formal process for endorsing new rules. Meeting on November 15th and 16th at an Atlanta, Georgia, hotel under the auspices of the Southern Forest Products Association (SFPA), the Southern Pine Design Value Forum produced a working report, " Findings and Recommendations," that calls for a do-over of the SPIB's first round of testing, in order to ensure "sound science" in the testing as well as industry-wide acceptance of the results. As for the new grade rules, the Forum report calls for starting over with a new rulemaking process that would include testing of all sizes and grades of lumber (not just for Southern Pine but also for other species of wood), and would build in longer comment periods and multiple stages of adoption for the standards. The first half of the forum report takes a look at the SPIB's new test values, along with a similar set of test values measured by Mississippi State University (MSU) researchers. In both sets of tests, the working group pointed out, the vast majority of wood exceeded the grade standard, even taking into account a factor of safety. The official testing protocol allows only 5 percent of a lumber sample to fall below the minimum allowable strength — a very conservative standard. In SPIB's new testing, 10 percent of the pieces failed below the minimum allowable modulus of rupture. On the other hand, 60 percent of the sample tested at better than double the minimum strength. In Mississippi State's testing, 6 percent of the test sample failed the test minimum; since the grade standard allows 5 percent to fail, the underperformance in MSU's sample amounted to just one percentage point. The forum report draws attention to a variety of reinforcing elements that are built into real-world houses, but which are not reflected in the minimums or safety factors used to specify individual framing members. Sheathing, wallboard, partitions, and redundant multiple joists, rafters, or studs all provide buildings with a structural resiliency, stiffness, and strength that serves to augment the capacity of the individual sticks of wood in any typical wood-framed structure, the report notes. Citing a range of published studies that identify reasons to consider the strength standards for framing lumber to be highly conservative, the report concludes, "The preceding discussion documents numerous effects that increase the in-situ performance and safety of light-frame wood structures. These effects go unaccounted for in design, but should not go unrecognized by those evaluating the timeline and impacts of proposed design value changes." In a second part of the report, the working group sets forth a revised process for modifying official lumber strength values and span tables. Key recommendations include: Revise the numbers once for all lumber sizes, rather than repeatedly for various dimensions of wood; coordinate routine modifications in lumber values with the three-year building code modification cycle, rather than change lumber criteria on a different time cycle; and include a wider cross-section of interested parties (commonly called "stakeholders") in the SPIB process for selecting and testing wood from the stream of commerce. The authors of the report requested that ALSC and SPIB give careful consideration to their recommendations, "to ensure that sound science prevails, disruptions in the marketplace are minimized, and confidence in the process is restored for all stakeholders." The ALSC is scheduled to hold a public meeting on January 5 in Washington, D.C., to consider its next steps.

Roundup: Archbishop Vigneron & Communion
There have been quite a few news reports and blog posts since Archbishop Vigneron made statements earlier in the week about the reception of Communion by supporters of "Gay-marriage." I wanted to create a list for some that are hoping to get caught up on the matter.
Catholic Blog Posts:
- Original post by the Detroit Free Press: Detroit-area Catholic leaders urge gay marriage supporters to skip Communion
- Father Z's take on the matter: Archbp. Vigneron: Catholics who push same-sex marriage should not receive Communion
- Dr. Ed Peters: A couple notes on today's DFP article on holy Communion and gay activists, esp in re Fr. Reese
- Diane's (Te deum laudamus) first roundup: Discussion of Worthy Reception of Holy Communion in Detroit
- Ignitum Today Post about the issue: An Examination of Conscience: Archbishop Vigneron, Communion, and Canon 916
- Father Z with clarifications: CNN insinuates that Archbp. Vigneron "dialed back" his words about promoters of same-sex marriage and Holy Communion
- Creative Minority Report: Abp. Vigneron: Gay Marriage Supporters Shoud Refrain From Communion
- Catholic Vote: DETROIT ARCHBISHOP TRIES TO SAVE SOULS; MAINSTREAM MEDIA NOT HAPPY.
That should do it… most of the "news" that you can read about it is contained as links within those posts.
For the most part the issue is being well handled, and if nothing else Catholics are faithfully defending the Church in the public square… but the battle wages on.

Chapeltown is in northern Sheffield, in South Yorkshire, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it forms part of the Ecclesfield civil parish. There are a wide variety of shops, pubs and restaurants as well as an Asda superstore. Sheffield Library also has a branch in Chapeltown called Chapeltown Library as well as a subway.
The town also has a twice-weekly market (Tuesday and Friday).
Like much of Sheffield there is a large amount of greenspace in and around Chapeltown. The town centre has a cricket ground and a wooded park on either side of it. Between Chapeltown and Ecclesfield the land is used for residential purposes on one side of the main road and agricultural on the other. There is also a brownfield site above the park.
It has two railway stations, one being a disused and allegedly haunted passenger station which is very well hidden in nearby overgrown woodlands, plus the railway station next to the Asda supermarket which is on the Penistone Line. Chapeltown is near the M1 motorway. There are two junctions (35 and 35a) serving the town: the latter is mainly used by Thorncliffe industrial estate, which contains the head office of Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions among other companies. There are also regular bus services into Sheffield and additional services to Barnsley and Rotherham town centres.
Most of the industry in the town lies within the Thorncliffe Industrial Estate, formerly the Thorncliffe works of Newton, Chambers & Company. This company was first established on this site in 1793,[2] initially an iron works but which over time expanded into related mining industries and the production of products produced by the fractional distillation of coal. These included the famous 'Izal' disinfectant range. During World War II Churchill tanks were built in the estate. Until recently one of these tanks stood as a memorial on the site of the old factory,[i] but it had fallen into a poor state of repair and has now been removed for restoration, it is unclear if the tank will be replaced when the restoration is complete.
The proximity of the M1 has helped the industrial estate's expansion in recent years, especially with companies involved in distribution. The disused railway station can be found by trekking though approximately a mile of dense woodland from the west (J35A), from White Lane. Part of this once- building is still lived in, but it is need of restoration and could be done very easily. The alleged ghosts are said to be Second World War soldiers, killed by bomb blast while on the train to the tank factory.
The old station " Chapeltown & Thorncliffe " can be seen from White Lane.

Ordered some new rims and tyres for my Ford Courier last week. John went above and beyond to get a great price and also the right style, size and fitment for my fussy requirements. The wheels turned up fitted and balanced and looked a million bucks. I couldn't of asked for a smoother transaction and a better guy to deal with. Thanks a million.
Had been looking at wheels for ages wanting to get great look/fitment. Called up Autocraze and spoke to Mo, he was awesome. Knew his products and put my mind at ease about the fitment. So I got my wheels and tyres (for a great price!) and I'm super happy!
AutoCraze were absolute legends to deal with when I was buying my Speedy Outlaws. Delivery to Queensland was unbelievably quick! Had the wheels fitted within a week of first making contact. Highly recommend!
The fellas at Autocraze helped heaps with the new wheels! Ordered them online and they arrived at my door 2 days later!! Awesome work fellas, cheers for all the help! Will definitely shop here again
Found the boys at Autocraze, top of the class, needed some rims for my Mustang and Mo had it all sorted. Their after sales support was fantastic too, highly recommend the guys, they are true car enthusiasts and take their time with your rims and their machinery is world class!
Awesome service, great people to deal with. Very professional and delivery was quicker than expected.. Also the car looks great, couldn't be happier. Thanks guys.
Ordered some rims and tires from these guys. Shipped Friday arrived Monday, great to deal with over the phone and the product you order is everybit as good in person. Already recommended to several friends.

Stasavage shows that active representative assemblies were more likely to be sustained in geographically small polities. These assemblies, dominated by mercantile groups that lent to governments, were in turn more likely to preserve access to credit. Given these conditions, smaller European city-states, such as Genoa and Cologne, had an advantage over larger territorial states, including France and Castile, because mercantile elites structured political institutions in order to effectively monitor public credit. While creditor oversight of public funds became an asset for city-states in need of finance, Stasavage suggests that the long-run implications were more ambiguous. City-states with the best access to credit often had the most closed and oligarchic systems of representation, hindering their ability to accept new economic innovations. This eventually transformed certain city-states from economic dynamos into rentier republics.
Exploring the links between representation and debt in medieval and early modern Europe, States of Credit contributes to broad debates about state formation and Europe's economic rise.

Our family rented two rooms and spent the weekend here. It was a great place to stay. Diana is a wonderful host. She includes lots of extras to help you feel comfortable (bottled water, coffee, snacks, allergy medicine :-) The rooms are beautiful, charming and comfortable. It was quiet and very relaxing. The village area is small and everyone was so friendly. I'm so glad we picked this Inn, and I hope we can go back again soon!

We enjoyed a weekend of tennis and golf in the middle of a mountain of pine trees. We drove less than 1.5 hours and found ourselves breathing the fresh air and enjoying the hospitality of the Pine Mountain Inn. Our room was spacious and clean and we were well taken care of by the staff. Across the way, we dined in an elegantly quaint restaurant/art gallery. Everything was within walking distance (from the bakery to the boutique to the golf course). We can't wait to return! Highly recommend this place to everyone!

f Barack Obama were dreaming up the ideal start to Mitt Romney's first overseas visit as the presumptive Republican nominee, the president might wonder whether his rival could offend the US's historic transatlantic ally.
That would obviously be rejected as impossibly ambitious, so the president might then ask himself whether Romney would fail to remember the name of one of his hosts in London.
Surely a successful businessman would never make such a basic error. So the president would wonder whether Romney would breach convention by saying in public that he met the head of MI6, Britain's overseas intelligence agency.
To the undoubted joy of the White House, Romney stumbled on all those fronts in London on Thursday, the first day of his visit to three of the US's closest allies - Britain, Israel and Poland.Read Full Article »

Revisioning the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
A Second Look at the 2nd Amendment
Once again our community is being plagued by gun violence and yet we still seemed focused on the symptoms and not the disease. While we are all too eager to decry the proliferation of gun related violence when it reveals itself in horrific events such as that of Sandy Hook, we seem strangely reluctant to turn that level of shock, outrage and urgency of action inward on ourselves. And just as importantly, we refuse to ask the foundational question about the constitutional right to gun ownership that seems to create an impenetrable wall of resistance to even the most minimal notion of gun control.
From my first day of law school I had a running argument with my Constitutional Law professor about the 2nd Amendment and the public perception that the right to bear arms is constitutionally guaranteed. Historically, the presence or absence of a "right to keep and bear arms" has been the subject of vigorous debate among constitutional law scholars for more than 150 years and I have added my own small contribution to that ongoing difference of opinion.
The text of the amendment reads, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment "codified a pre-existing right" and that it "protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia". With respect, this analysis misses the mark. Service in a militia is not the determining factor. Rather, the "need" for a militia determines the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. My very point is that today we do not need a militia to secure our safety and, therefore, do not need to keep and bear arms to safeguard that security.
I would argue that the right to arm oneself was indeed necessary at a time when citizens had no other means of safeguarding themselves and their homes. They "needed" a regulated citizen militia for the common defense. But in today's world we have police forces and standing armies for exactly that purpose. Without the existence of that communal need, there is no right to bear arms for security's sake. That right has now evolved by dint of time and civility to a privilege and like the license to operate a motor vehicle it is a privilege that must be exercised responsibly.
While many sections of the Constitution of the United States are appropriately susceptible to a "plain text" or "literal" reading, the 2nd Amendment, in my view, is not. I believe the framers envisioned an evolving document that would be responsive to the changes of a young and still maturing nation; changes that they could anticipate but could not foresee. The ambiguity in the phrasing of the arms clause places the responsibility to revision that clause on future generations. As part of the future those great and prescient men only glimpsed, it is incumbent upon us to take up this question in earnest. If we cannot evolve as a society, then we have failed those founding fathers and equally failed that foundational document which was created to guide our evolution as a society of fellow citizens and as a nation of laws.

Your views are short sighted at the least and incredibly naive at the worst. There is no duty for the police to protect citizens. Even if a duty exists, will the police department assign someone to protect every citizen? It cannot be done. People refuse to believe that they are susceptible to harm. I live in a small suburban town just outside of Indianapolis. I believe we have had only two homicides in the last 20 years or so. But crime is slowly creeping into the community from Indianapolis. Just a few months ago, a man was shot and killed by a couple of teenagers on the south side of Indianapolis. The teenagers then travelled to the west side of town and tried to rob a man at gunpoint. The teenagers then shot a man who was walking his dog. They were finally caught after a long police chase just two miles from my house. I am sure the police were looking for these two thugs, but they were not around to protect anyone. The best they can do is file a report and try to find someone after the damage has been done. The worst part is that one of the teenagers was released from juvenile detention just a few weeks before the crime spree. The kid's mother apparently pleaded with the government to keep him locked up. She new he was going to be involved in something horrible.
I believe that 99.9% of people are good people. It is the small number of evildoers that we have to worry about. If you think the police can protect you from that .1%, you are deluding yourself. The gun control advocates would like you to believe that you are safe. But if you look closely, virtually all of the gun control proposals have exemptions for government officials, security company workers, etc. What that really means is that the rich are allowed to protect themselves, but the rest of the population is not worthy of any form of protection.

"But in today's world we have police forces and standing armies for exactly that purpose. Without the existence of that communal need, there is no right to bear arms for security's sake."
The crux of your whole argument is you feel the government adequately meets all of your security needs.
Warren vs DC is all you have to reference to understand how weak that stance is. The government has no obligation to provide for your personal security. If you do not see the issues with a transient representative workforce or professional politicians that make lasting decisions on your behalf that have no impact on themselves, then you are beyond discussion.
The statement quoted above show how desperately myopic and inexperienced you truly are.

George III ordered the disarmament of the colonists in all 13 colonies in the spring of 1775, violating the rights of Englishmen held since the 13th Century. His actions failed miserably, exacerbating the distrust of The Crown and fanning the fires of revolution. The founding fathers simply codified our rights of 500 previous years. Our 2nd amendment rights shall not be infringed. And tyranny will always face an armed citizenry in the United States of America, despite your opinion and those of its ilk.

According to the rules of English grammar and usage, the sentence is simple and straightforward. The prefatory clause states the reason the right is being enumerated. It does not create the right, which is presumed to exist by the operative clause., nor does it place any conditions on the right. The right is declared unconditionally by the operative clause.
The term "well-regulated" modifies the noun, "militia", not the noun, "right". The two aren't even in the same clause. It is the militia that is to be well-regulated, while acting as a militia. Nothing in the sentence grammatically connects regulation to the right.
Stated another way, the amendment says that the right is assumed to exist, that the government has no power to infringe it, and that the reason it is being enumerated is to guarantee the people's ability to form and maintain a militia to insure their continued liberty.
Efforts to confound the obvious notwithstanding, the amendment speaks for itself.

District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), you have an inalienable right to have a gun in your home for self defense. Rights are inalienable Steve, they cannot be taken away by legislative action nor by the opinions of law students.
"That right has now evolved by dint of time and civility to a privilege"
RIGHTS NEVER DEVOLVE. By your reasoning the right of the poor to sleep is now a privlege by the dint of police harrassment and the existence of an adequate alternative in the form of methamphetamine.

Whisking With What?
You have to know, this is one of the strangest things I've ever done! (Quote from Tangled). But really, it is. It works like a charm though. I actually learned how to do this from my dad. He's a clever guy. I used this to make something I never imagined myself doing. It was actually quite a fun adventure and I can't wait to show you the tutorial tomorrow!

I was often compelled, by the dangerousness of the way, to deviate considerably from the direction I wished to pursue.
It was not his intelligence which he thought we underrated, but his dangerousness.
The dangerousness may either lie in the nature of a person or thing, or be imposed upon it.

All their plottings, their threats, their dangerousness dissipated like mist before the command of this one resolute man.
The injuries seemed to be all internal; but of their seriousness or dangerousness the physician could not yet judge.

Observation of class by a colleague can provide faculty valuable exchanges of ideas and approaches to a variety of teaching and learning situations. The class observation program is designed to help teachers improve instruction in the classrooms and laboratories to enhance student learning.
There are three main purposes for Requesting Class Observation:
An effective observation scheme is expected to improve the effectiveness and quality of teaching as well as students' learning experience. The goal of class observation is to provide faculty with the opportunity to develop and grow as a teacher in relation to the individual faculty member's own starting point in teaching.
The key to a successful observation is mutual trust and respect between faculty and the Consultant/Mentor. The observing Consultant/Mentor will not impose any particular purpose of class observation on faculty. In fact, faculty decides about the purpose of class observation. The purpose of a class observation can have various dimensions. Faculty may want to know whether the delivery of lecture content was clear or a particular group activity promoted student involvement in the subject. While faculty may have a specific purpose associated with class observation, it is also possible to request a general class observation, where the observer uses his/her own criteria to comment on the class. Additionally, the observer will assist faculty to establish a clear purpose of the observation, if faculty chooses to do so.
In order for an instructor to experience a range of different ideas and feedback over time, a change of the observing Consultant/Mentor is recommended.
A minimum of one observed session per year for each instructor is recommended. However, you may request multiple observations depending on your needs.
It is recommended that faculty request class observations at least five weeks into the semester and no later than 10 weeks into the semester (see Request Form ). This allows for a more effective use of feedback to improve your teaching and enhance student learning.
A range of activities which constitute "teaching" can be observed. Commonly, such activities would include lectures, small group sessions, and practical classes. For those involved in large amounts of one-to-one teaching or distance learning delivery, thought will be given to the most effective and appropriate style of observation.
Planning and implementing a systematic approach to class observation reduces bias and unreliability. The three most common instruments used in class observations are checklists, rating scales, and open-ended narratives (written analysis). The use of a combination of instruments is preferred to reduce bias. Faculty and the observer can talk about the possible instruments that will be used during class observation.
As in the case of other services in the Peer Consulting/Mentoring Program , the results of class observation are unequivocally confidential. Observation results are kept confidential between faculty and the observer, unless faculty wishes to share this information.
Faculty may choose to receive a written statement for a number of reasons. For example, faculty may want to include the statement in his/her annual report or other performance-related dossier to demonstrate teaching effectiveness. Faculty may also choose to discuss the results with the observer without any written document. Independent of faculty's decision regarding the feedback method, the observer will never share the content of feedback or faculty's identity in a verbal or written fashion.
Good feedback should help faculty develop an action plan for personal development and could lead to an agreement between faculty and the observer to employ another observation as a way of discussing faculty's progress in teaching.
It is important to reiterate that the Consultant/Mentor will work with the faculty who requests a class observation. If faculty requests a class observation, a pre-conference will be scheduled so that faculty can convey his/her ideas regarding class observation to the Consultant/Mentor.
To request Class Observation fill out the Request Form .

What are the statistical chances of catching various STDs after unprotected sex? Also do you know of any studies I could read regarding this question?
The best data is found at www.cdc.gov but approaching it from the standpoint of "what are my chances of getting ______ infection after this unprotected (or protected) encounter" is not a very helpful way to evaluate your odds. You are suggesting using the "odds" to help you decide whether the gamble is worth it or not. Not wise.
That's analogous to a health care worker saying "what are the chances of me getting infected with Hepatitis C or HIV from not wearing gloves with this patient whose history I don't know if they come in bleeding". The risks are probably low but not ever zero. So health care workers use universal precautions for all patients, every time, every touch. That is exactly how sexual partners should think of potential body fluid exposures. Protection, every time, every touch--yet acknowledging that even with protection, the risk is never zero.
