May 15 - 21 Is Hurricane and Flood Preparedness Week

May 15 - 21 Is Hurricane and Flood Preparedness Week
Knowing what to do before, during and after severe storms can mean the difference between life and death. To alert residents to the potential dangers of hurricanes and floods, and to educate them about preparing for these natural hazards, Governor Mark R. Warner has declared May 15 - 21 as Hurricane and Flood Preparedness Week in the commonwealth of Virginia.
"During Hurricane and Flood Preparedness Week we hope that Fairfax County residents will pay attention to specific hurricane and flood safety tips," said C. Douglas Bass, emergency management coordinator for Fairfax County. "If everyone will become familiar with actions that should be taken before, during and after storms and severe weather, our residents will be much better prepared to respond in case of inclement weather."
Fairfax County residents can take one precaution now by registering for alerts from the CEAN – Community Emergency Alert Network – offered by the county through the Office of Emergency Management. The CEAN will deliver important emergency alerts, notifications and updates to county residents during a major crisis or emergency. Messages will be sent to e-mail accounts, cell phones, text pagers, satellite phones and wireless PDAs registered on the system. Those registered on the CEAN will be provided a personal connection to real-time updates, instructions on where to go, protective actions that need to be taken and other important information.
In addition, persons also may register for any or all of the additional CEAN alert categories, including severe weather 24/7 and severe weather 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., Monday - Friday. To register for the Community Emergency Alert Network, visit the Web page www.fairfaxcounty.gov/cean.
Fairfax County also is prepared to respond to severe weather. It was the first county in Virginia to become certified as "StormReady," a program created by the National Weather Service that focuses on improving communication and preparedness in communities through outreach and public awareness education. Communities that are a part of this nationwide program are even more prepared for all types of severe weather, because they have detailed and clear guidance to improve procedures and formalize plans for hazardous weather situations.
The Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management, in cooperation with the National Weather Service and state emergency management officials, offers the following safety tips to protect lives and reduce property damage:
Before the Storm
- Know your risk. Consult your local emergency management office to find out if your area is flood-prone or for local preparedness information.
- If you live in a flood-prone area, identify where to go if you are told to evacuate and the safest route to get there. If there is a flood, you may only have minutes to get to safety. Choose several places – a friend's home in another town, a motel or a shelter. Remember, public shelters and many motels don't allow pets in their facilities.
- Get ready for a possible power outage by gathering a minimum one-week supply of foods that don't require refrigeration or cooking, such as canned goods, as well as bottled water, flashlights with extra batteries, a first-aid kit and battery-powered radio. If you need to evacuate, make sure you can consolidate these items into a portable "go" kit, such as a backpack or duffel bag.
- Purchase a NOAA Weather Radio for National Weather Service reports and severe weather warnings.
- Cut dead trees and limbs that could fall on your home.
- If your home or business is in a flood-prone area, make sure you have a current flood insurance policy (not typically part of a standard insurance policy). A 30-day waiting period is generally required to purchase flood insurance, so take time now to check with your insurance agent to learn more.
- Take pictures of your property before the storm to help validate your claim and remember to take your policies with you if you need to evacuate.
When a Hurricane Is Approaching
- Listen to your local radio and TV stations for updated storm information. A hurricane or flood watch means possible danger. If the danger increases, a hurricane or flood warning will be issued.
- If you have space in your refrigerator or freezer, consider filling plastic containers with water, leaving about an inch of space inside each one. (Remember, water expands as it freezes, so it is important to leave room in the container for the expanded water.) Place the containers in the refrigerator and freezer. This chilled or frozen water will help keep food cold for several hours if the power goes out.
- Fill your bathtub with water to use for toilet flushing in case water services are unavailable following the storm.
- Bring in garbage cans, lawn furniture and other items that could blow away.
- Fill your car's gas tank. Functional gas stations will be in short supply in a power outage.
If Heavy Rains Occur
- Be aware that floods are deceptive. Avoid already flooded areas. Floodwaters that are above your knees are dangerous. Turn around and go back to higher ground.
- If you find floodwaters on the road while driving, turn around and find an alternate route. The road could be washed out and rapidly rising water could lift your car and carry it away.
After the Storm
- Listen to your local radio stations for official disaster relief information and instructions.
- Prepare to be without power, telephone or any outside services for a week or more.
- Watch out for downed power lines, weakened structures, rodents and snakes, and avoid standing water.
- Avoid drinking tap water unless officials say it is safe to do so. Eat only foods you are absolutely sure are safe.
- Be extra careful when handling power tools, gas lanterns and matches.
- Operate generators outdoors only in a well-ventilated, dry area, away from air intakes to the home. Never use a generator indoors or in attached garages. Poor ventilation can result in carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
- Avoid using candles as a light source. Deadly fires can result.
Even when hurricanes strike other areas of the country, they can still cause significant damage and loss of life in Virginia. In fact, some of the worst storms in Virginia's history were from hurricanes that made landfall in other states. In 1969, Hurricane Camille made landfall in Mississippi, but killed 153 people in Virginia, making it the commonwealth's deadliest hurricane on record. Two years ago, Hurricane Isabel made landfall in North Carolina, but Virginia suffered 36 deaths and more than $1.9 billion in damages.
For more information on hurricane and flood preparedness, contact the
Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management at 703-324-2362, TTY 711 or
visit the emergency information page on the county's Web site at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/emergency.

TAMPA, Fla. - Sophomore Chris Caiazza netted a game high five goals, but the Saint Leo men's lacrosse team found themselves at the bottom end of an 18-8 final score against the University of Tampa on Thursday evening from the Naimoli Family Athletic and Intramural Complex. The loss bounces the Lions out of the Deep South Conference tournament, and drops their record of 8-5 on the season, while the Spartans advance to the tournament championship and advance their mark to 10-4.
Behind Caiazza's five goal performance, George Proechel, Tom Horn, and Matt Weller scored one apiece. Horn and Proechel added assists to their scoring totals, while Kevin Hutchinson dished out an additional assist on the night.
Between the pipes for Saint Leo, freshman Dave Moore made a total of 12 saves while facing 56 shots and 30 shots on frame. His adversary for Tampa, Joseph Fiorucci, made six saves.
The Spartans were led in scoring by Greg Griffo, who tallied four goals and two assists on the night. Kyle Hemrick and Ryan Becker each earned hat tricks, with Hemrick adding two assists and Becker dishing out an assist of his own.
Tampa got out to an early 3-0 lead, but an unassisted goal from Horn put Saint Leo on the scoreboard at the 7:58 mark in the first quarter. The Spartans answered back with two more to extend their lead to 5-1. Caiazza netted his first goal of the night off of an assist from Hutchinson with 2:48 left in the period to pull the Lions to within three, 5-2, but Tampa's Griffo added one for the Spartans with 59 seconds on the clock to close out the quarter with a score of 6-2.
The second stanza opened up with a goal from Weller to pull the Lions back to within three with 13:53 on the clock. Tampa answered back to pull ahead 7-3 at the 8:56 mark, but Caiazza earned the play of the night two minutes later when he intercepted a clear from Fiorucci and shot ball from 30 yards out to find the back of an open net with 6:49 on the clock.
Despite the Lions' best defensive efforts, the Spartans went on a three goal run to pull ahead 10-4. Caiazza netted his third of the night with 2:50 left before the break, but Tampa added two more of their own in the final two minutes to set the score at 12-5 at halftime.
It was a slow third quarter, with neither team able to put a point on the scoreboard until the waning moments of the period. With 31 seconds left in the quarter, Horn connected a pass to Proechel on an extra man opportunity to give the Lions their sixth goal of the evening, setting the score at 12-6 entering into the final period.
The fourth quarter saw the Lions outscored by their opponent 6-2, setting the final tally at 18-8. Tampa led the shot count 56-26, and had more shots on target, 30-14. Saint Leo earned 18 ground balls to Tampa's 38, and were 9-for-29 on faceoff attempts. The Lions found the back of the net on 3-of-6 man-up opportunities, while holding the Spartans to just one goal on four extra man situations. Saint Leo was successful on 13-of-17 clear attempts.
The Lions return to action on Sunday, April 21, when they travel to Hilton Head, S.C. to take on Mars Hill College at neutral site Hilton Head High School. Game time against Mars Hill is slated for 2 p.m. For more information, visit saintleolions.com. Fans can also stay up-to-date on the latest news, updates, and information on the Saint Leo men's lacrosse DSC Tournament run by following the Lions on Twitter, an "Liking" the Green and Gold on Facebook.

Young Old LadyLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Whilst relieving his bladder in a shop doorway one Friday night, Mad Ade met a lady who has 2 children, 3 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren. The lady who had all of these kids told Mad Ade that she was only 25.
How is this possible?
AnswerThe lady was born on 29th February. Her birthday comes once every 4 years. Thus, her age is 25, but she is actually 100 years old. By the way, she reported Mad Ade to the police.

In verse 1 we see the people going to their leader, "Up, make us a gods...." Instead of trusting their leader they grew impatient and demanding. How often do I look to my leader to be at my beckoning call? I want to guide and lead, instead of trusting the beautiful line of authority God established.
Then the people go on complaining about their leader to another leader. This caused division!
Aaron, then went on to "appease" these stubborn people by telling them to give him all their gold.
Now think about it, these people are in the desert and he asks for their possessions of gold. Verse 2 says, "Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives..." Gold, this fine, precious metal is what the people give up because they aren't willing to wait on God.
What do I give up because I grow impatient on God's timing? How often do we run ahead of God, willing to give up precious things, because His timing is not YOUR timing! I've seen people race ahead of God and marry a non-believer because they don't want to wait on God's timing.
After Aaron build the calf the first thing they say, "These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!" vs. 4. Are you kidding me?!? Did they forget that the Red Sea parted? Did they forget how God brought 10 plagues?
How often do we forget God's faithfulness when we are in a season of waiting? We must reflect and remember His goodness to avoid carving our own "golden calf'".
Aaron went on to build an alter to the Lord and proclaimed they would have a feast to the Lord. Here we see mixing idol worship, with worship of the Lord. Oh, yes friends, we can be in church "worshiping" God, yet clinging to our idols. This is not worship of the Lord, you can't have both, you must choose!
After their "worship" service they got up "to play" (vs. 6). Really!?! They are flat out disobeying God and they just want to play!? Do we "play" Christian? Do we go on Sunday, but by Monday we are worshiping the idol of self? Do we claim to have faith, yet "play" with the things of this world?
We see God tells Moses to go back to the people and Moses gets so mad at the people he breaks the first set of the Ten Commandments! In Chapter 34 Moses makes new tablets and the Lord proclaims in verse 6-7: "The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgressions and sin..."
What grace! What love!
But God adds to Moses that: "You shall not make for yourself any gods of cast metal."
There is more to take from this story, but as I read this morning these thoughts just jumped at me!
What jumps out at you?

Biking Paradise - The Best Bike Routes in San Diego
There are few better ways to explore the California coast than via beach cruiser. This green and good-for-you method of transportation is quintessential to SoCal and perfect for enjoying the San Diego weather while checking out the sites. There's no question that the Mission Bay and Mission Beach area that our island resort is tucked away in is one of the best places to bike ride in San Diego. With over 14 miles of bike paths offering views of the bay or beach, this mostly flat area is perfect for a leisurely afternoon pedal.
Guests have recently been telling us that they don't like having to rely on a car to explore the area, so we listened and bought a whole new fleet of 25 beach cruisers and 10 four-wheeled surreys for up to 6 people. While the surreys have to stay on hotel grounds, guests can now take the beach cruisers off property and discover Mission Bay on their own.
My favorite route from the resort is south over the Ingraham Street bridge past SeaWorld, then west up and over another bridge (W Mission Bay Drive) which ends at Belmont Park and the Giant Dipper Rollercoaster in Mission Beach. You can then continue up or down the boardwalk along the sand where there are various shops, restaurants, street performers, and plenty of gorgeous ocean views.
Whether you want to journey to the beach, or just explore our San Diego resort, next time you're here, definitely come scope out our amazing new fleet of beach cruisers and surreys. You can check out a map and plan your San Diego bike ride route before you arrive here, or wing it and grab one when you rent your bike.
Happy biking!

EMOTIONAL scenes followed Tranmere Rovers' relegation to League Two this afternoon.
John McMahon's squad were beaten 2-1 by Bradford City in front of 9,598 spectators at Prenton Park.
Rovers had taken the lead through Matthew Pennington but had to play the final hour with ten men following the sending off of Junior Brown.
Two second half goals gave the Bantams the win, and results elsewhere meant Rovers would have gone down even had they picked up all three points.
After the final whistle blew, Rovers' fans ran onto the pitch to console the squad. Players, including Max Power were in tears at the loss.
During a press conference after the game, McMahon said: "There are words to describe how I'm feeling, but I can't them say them on camera or tape. I'm devastated really.
"I thought we were a bit edgy to start with, which was going to happen, and approached the game really well.
"We got the goal we needed and until the sending off I felt we were in control. We controlled the tempo like we wanted to.
"They didn't really hurt us, until what happened, happened and changed control of the game.
"My own objective was to keep us in League One, unfortunately that's not happened."
McMahon had made there were three changes to the team that started at Leyton Orient last weekend.
Ian Goodison and Jason Koumas returned from injury to take the places of Danny Holmes and Jake Cassidy.
Goalkeeper Jason Mooney came in for his third start of the season in place of injured Owain Fon Williams.
Bradford started brightly, winning a corner in the first minute after Mooney turned a long range effort from Aaron McLean around the post, and the Rovers keeper saved soon after from Nathan Doyle.
After a spell of possession deep in the Bradford half, Matthew Pennington picked up a loose ball, lifted a shot over Jon McLaughlin which the keeper let through his hands and into the net.
Players and staff from both teams got involved in a scuffle in front of the Bradford dugout around the 25 minute mark and five minutes later McMahon's sqaud were reduced to ten men when Junior Brown was shown a straight red card for a late challenge on Nathan Doyle.
McMahon said: "I thought the challenge warranted a yellow card, not a red, and the bench were up in arms calling for Nathan to be sent off.
"I thought the challenge itself looked a lot worse than it was and when the player gets up and continues the game and turns round and winks at me, it tells you the story.
"The reaction between the two benches during this incident was really poor. It's not the professional thing to do."
With a man disadvantage Rovers switched to 4-4-1, with Akpa Akpro moving to a wide left role.
On 31 minutes, McMahon played Max Power into the area and the midfielder skipped past Doyle but his pass for Ryan Lowe was cleared by a defender.
With a man advantage Bradford were dominating the possession and spending much of the time inside the Tranmere half. Adam Drury drilled a back post volley over the Tranmere goal on 54 minutes.
Though Crewe were 2-0 up against Preston, a goal for Oldham against Notts County briefly lifted Rovers out of the bottom four to the delight of the fans inside Prenton Park.
However, less than ten minutes later County equalised from the penalty spot to put Rovers back to 21st.
Lowe went down under a challenge inside the Bradford area on 74 minutes but the referee waved away penalty appeals and seven minutes later the visitors equalised, when Stead's strike from the edge of the area deflected past Mooney and into the bottom left corner.
Rovers had a chance to regain the lead on 84 minutes when Koumas sent Akpa Akpro through on goal but the striker's attempted lob lacked power and McLaughlin gathered inside his six yard box.
And the miss seemed even more pivotal a minute later as Aaron McLean drilled a shot past Mooney from the right side of the penalty area to put the Bantams 1-2 up.
McMahon continued: "I'm full of anger and disappointment for the disappointed fans that came along today, particularly when you see the look on their faces and what it means to them as well. All in all, it's difficult to take, really.
"What's frustrating is the result wasn't in our hands. If it had have been in our hands, maybe we would have approached it differently.
"It's all about experience. How do you gain experience? By seeing good times, and by also seeing bad times.
"The players will take something away from today. It might not have been nice, but it will make them stronger and better equipped for their future.
"I can never knock the players for commitment and passion. I thought those players gave everything they had today. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be."

http://www.forces-war-records.co.uk/ have just re-launched their website after a re-vamp. To celebrate the new look they have added 14,000 new Japanese POW records to their database. These records are free to search and view.
Dominic Hayhoe from Forces War Records said "In addition to our new site design, we have been extensively adding new records to Forces War Records that our members have been asking for. One area not very well covered by any sites is the Japanese Prisoner of War records. In adding these, we know we will be helping quite a few people looking for information on their ancestors.

He goes on to say "Of course, in addition to these new records, as ever, all our records are not simply service records in isolation. All our records are uniquely cross matched with other information related to them such as what units the person served in or what battles they fought etc. giving a much more in-depth picture of what life was really like for them."

Gucci Spring 2013
There was a time, long before Tom Ford arrived to revolutionize Gucci, when the brand was part of the glamorous Roman decadence that surged up around movie stars and aristocracy from the fifties to the seventies. Not for nothing, the term paparazzo was coined in Rome, the epicenter of La Dolce Vita. At the time, Rome was seething with couturiers—the young Valentino, Capucci, Simonetta, Princess Galitzine, and many others—and Gucci supplied the stars with handmade bags, luggage, and equestrian equipment. Rome became the place that defined an opulent, privileged summertime lifestyle after the deprivation of World War II—a fantasy of yachts, nightclubs, and beaches that was often shot (on aristocratic models like Marisa Berenson and Veruschka) in the fashion photography of Richard Avedon and Gian Paolo Barbieri.
Not for nothing, either, is Frida Giannini a Roman-born designer. She lives in the contemporary world, of course, but for spring she was referencing those photographers and filtering a long-lost memory of late-sixties and early-seventies couturelike principessa glamour into her collection. In Giannini's front row sat a modern aristocrat, the equestrian show-jumper Charlotte Casiraghi, who Gucci kits out for her sport. She was wearing a tailored denim pantsuit.
All this background might suffice to explain where Giannini's looks are rooted—in a time when sporty-chic Italian women wore tailored crepe tunics over pants for day, and changed (for the endless parties in palazzi) into dramatic couture dresses (on which great, upstanding frills at the shoulder were a feature) extravagantly accessorized with ever-more opulent jewelry. In our twenty-first-century culture, the ritual of showing dresses like this, constrained to a darkened runway, with models walking up and down, is one we've become accustomed to. But, really, in order to look their best, these clothes need to live in the sun; they should be shown in the sybaritic context of wherever wealthy girls take their vacations next year.

WEPL Bristol & Somerset Second XI
Wembdon II 162-9 beat Ilminster II 161 by one wicket
KIERAN Cosens held his nerve to carry Wembdon II to a tense onewicket victory over Ilminster on Saturday.
Cosens (8no) struck the winning runs in the 39th over after a middle order collapse put Wembdon in danger of throwing the game away.
Earlier, Daniel Watts (4-22), Jack Lowe (3-32) and Pete Gliddon (2-15) were in the wickets as Ilminster were all out for 161 in 42 overs.
Liam Pigden (36) and Phil Curd (30) put Wembdon in a strong position in reply, and Jordan Rawles (21) looked to be taking the hosts to a comfortable victory.
But when Mike Watts, Lucas Hawkins and Scott Hughes fell in quick succession the game looked to be turning the South Somerset side's way.
However, Cosens stayed in control to plunder the winnings runs and give his side the win.

Standing up for Canada's veterans
Our Conservative government has made historic investments to improve the care and services available to Canada's veterans. We are working to cut red tape, and modernizing the department to reduce spending on administration and to deliver the highest quality and amount of services and benefits to veterans.
Canada's Funeral and Burial Program, as administered by the Last Post Fund, is designed to assist the families of veterans with the cost of a funeral, and since 2006, the families of approximately 10,000 veterans have benefited from it. As a standalone, Canada's program covers the full cost of a burial for a veteran and helps with the cost of the funeral. Together, these amounts provide an average of $7,000 to $10,000 for the families of veterans who could not otherwise afford it.
Canada's program is among the best in the world and we continue to look for ways to improve all of our programs and services, including the funeral and burial program, in a chal- lenging fiscal climate.
It is worth noting that it was our government that expanded the Veterans Independence Program to help the widows of more than 38,000 veterans.
It was also our government that set the minimum annual income for seriously injured veterans to $58,000, well above anything that was provided before.
In fact, since forming the government and guiding the country through a period of fiscal and economic restraint, we have increased the budget of the department by over 25 per cent.
Of our current budget, which exceeds $3.5 billion, over 90 per cent is spent in direct benefits and services for Canada's veterans and their families.
Canadians can be confident that our government is working for and standing up for veterans.

My setup:
Python 3.3.3
First problem: xlutils-1.7.0 would not install no matter what I did. I used the command prompt and installed it the same way as all of the other packages, but it returned an error. Feeling that I did not need it yet I moved on.
Second problem: Using xlrd, I can not import an .xls or xlsx file in any meaningful way. I have tried verifying encoding, but even when I change encoding I seem to get the same output. Example output as seen in Python 3.3.3 Shell:
<xlrd.book.Book Object at 0x0108DF90>
What I have:
Calling from PyExcelerate I can write, manipulate and save .xlsx files with no problem. I just need to figure how to import the data from .xlsx files in a way that I can assign cell by cell block values as variables and rewrite them onto another file. I am compiling information from a list of excel files and want to arrange data for a report that will be saved as an excel file. I have just began to get all of this together, but here is what I have so far:
- Code: Select all
from mmap import mmap,ACCESS_READ
from xlrd import open_workbook
print (open_workbook('simple.xls','rb')
with open('simple.xls','rb') as f:
print (open_workbook(file_contents=mmap(f.fileno(),0,access=ACCESS_READ)))
The above code seems to output a similar value to the shell as I listed above, twice. As you can see this is adjusted code from the python-excel.org examples, adjusted for python 3 syntax. I have gone through tutorials, and the library for literally every term in the code to verify all input methods and conditions. I don't know what I am seeing, and being new to the language I am having a hard time decoding what the output is derived from. Thanks in advance for you help.

Separation of church and state
The separation of church and state is the principle that religion and government have separate roles, and that neither should intrude upon the other: religious organizations may not set government policy, and the government may not privilege one religion over another, or religion in general over non-religion (and vice-versa). It is an important concept in secularism and a requirement of an "open society". The opposite policy is referred to as the "establishment of religion" as the official state sanctioned belief. When a religion gains significant influence in government, that government is referred to as a theocracy.
Consequences of religious influence
Coercion in religion and propaganda
If a religion can establish itself as the state religion, it can coerce people into participation. This includes mandating religious worship in prisons [1] or everyday life. Drug recovery programs with religious content can be mandated. [2] Teacher led prayers or repeated references to God can be introduced in government controlled schools.
Holidays are state sanctioned and typically aligned to a particular religion's festivals.
Many countries supposedly have laws or constitutional measures to prevent people being coerced by the state into a particular religion but their governments attempt to establish an official religion regardless.
Religiously motivated laws
Religion can motivate laws, their drafting or the way they are implemented. This sometimes occurs without the support of citizens or ignores the needs of minority groups.
- Banning abortion
- Sharia law
- Religious censorship
- Religious defamation
- Death penalty
- Blue laws
Religions dogma can motivate preferential treatment for a particular group, such as Arab Israelis being treated as second class citizens [3] or preferential treatment of Muslims in Indonesia. [4] In an Islamic state, non-Muslims (dhimmī) are required to pay a special Jizya tax. These laws often abridge political and personal rights, including:
- Freedom of religion, conscience and speech
- Equality before the law
Suppression of science and history
Education ignores important scientific (e.g. evolutionary) and historical subjects and may be replaced by religious dogma.
The government is more likely to pursue of ineffective policy based on dogma.
- Climate change denial based on religion,
- Abstinence-only sex education or no sex education at all,
- Banning abortion, although this does not significantly reduce the number of abortions.
Religious tests for office
Some countries require religious tests to hold public office or to be a competent witness in a court of law. This even occurs in several US states [5] but this is usually an ignored technicality since the US Supreme Court ruled that religious tests are unconstitutional.
In an Islamic state, non-Muslims (dhimmī) are not allowed authority over Muslims.
Arguments for separation
Religious government tends towards tyranny
"Is there any maxim in politics more certain and infallible, than that both the number and authority of priests should be confined within very narrow limits; and that the civil magistrate ought, for ever, to keep his fasces [bound wooden bundle symbolising judicial authority] and axes from such dangerous hands? But if the spirit of popular religion were so salutary to society, a contrary maxim ought to prevail."
"Theocracy is the worst of all governments. If we must have a tyrant, a robber baron is far better than an inquisitor."
"History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government."
Religious duties are separate from politics
"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should 'make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,' thus building a wall of separation between Church and State."
- — Thomas Jefferson
In Mark 12:17 , Jesus considers political and religious obligations to be separate: [6]
- "Then Jesus said to them, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." And they were amazed at him."
Jesus also showed little interest in worldly affairs such as politics and is generally regarded as a role model for Christians.
Politics corrupts religion
The merging of religion and politics leads to politicians influencing religious affairs. This is generally undesirable even for religious believers. [7]
No clear reason to prefer one religion over another
"A great many people seem to thing that if you are a Christian yourself you should try to make divorce difficult for every one. I do not think that. At least I know I should be very angry if the Mohammedans tried to prevent the rest of us from drinking wine."
Countries that support secularism
United States
The separation of church and state derives from the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which begins:
- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof....
The phrase "separation of church and state" does not appear in the Constitution itself; it was first coined by Thomas Jefferson in a letter to the Danbury Baptist Church, to explain the intended effect of this part of the First Amendment. [8]
In Lemon v. Kurtzman, the Supreme Court defined the Lemon test for determining whether a law violates the separation of church and state. A law is not constitutional unless:
- It has a legitimate secular purpose, and
- Its primary effect neither advances nor inhibits religion, and
- It does not cause an excessive entanglement between government and religion.
In the 19th century, American leaders supporting the separation of church and state were accused of heresy by the Catholic church. This is referred to as the Americanism heresy. However, formal recognition of church state separation still allows violations such as faith based initiatives, widespread display of the ten commandments on public land and resolutions that appeal to God. [9] It also does not prevent religiously motivated laws such as limits on abortion.
Section 116 of the Australian constitution states:
- The Commonwealth shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth.
Article 2 of the French constitution states:
- France is an indivisible, secular, democratic, and social Republic. It ensures the equality of all citizens before the law, without distinction as to origin, race, or religion. It respects all beliefs.
Article 140 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany states:
- The provisions of Articles 136, 137, 138, 139, and 141 of the German Constitution of August 11, 1919 shall be an integral part of this Basic Law.
The referenced article 137 of the 1919 Weimar Constitution begins:
- There is no state church. Freedom to form religious communities is guaranteed. Regarding the unification of religious communities within the Reich territory there are no limitations. Every religious community administrates its own affairs without interference of state or community.
Article 20 of the Japanese constitution states:
- (1) Freedom of religion is guaranteed to all.
- (2) No religious organization shall receive any privileges from the State, nor exercise any political authority.
- (3) No person shall be compelled to take part in any religious act, celebration, rite or practice.
- (4) The State and its organs shall refrain from religious education or any other religious activity.
Article 130 of the Mexican constitution states:
- Congress cannot enact laws establishing or prohibiting any religion.
Article 2, section 6 of the Filipino constitution states:
- The separation of Church and State shall be inviolable.
Article 41 of the Portuguese constitution states:
- The churches and religious communities are separate from the State and free to organize and exercise their own ceremonies and worship.
Article 14 of the Russian constitution states:
- The Russian Federation is a secular state. No religion may be established as a state or obligatory one.
- Religious associations shall be separated from the State and shall be equal before the law.
South Korea
Article 20 of the South Korean constitution states:
- (1) All citizens enjoy the freedom of religion.
- (2) No state religion may be recognized, and church and state are to be separated.
Other countries that support secularism
- Austria
- Bangladesh
- Brazil
- Canada
- Estonia
Countries that oppose secularism
- Afghanistan
- Argentina
- Burma (Myanmar)
- Cambodia
- China
- Denmark
- Egypt
In 1864, Pope Pius IX stated that the separation of the church and state was an error.[10]

The first consumer-grade access points running the new 802.11ac Wi-Fi protocol began hopping last summer, and IT-grade 802.11ac wireless gear is now appearing. Apple appears poised to include 802.11ac in Macs expected to be released this summer, if clues in beta versions of OS X are to be believed. PC, tablet, and smartphone makers will follow soon.
What's the story about 802.11ac? It brings several advantages that should promote fast consumer adoption: lower battery use when Wi-Fi is engaged in computers and mobile devices, faster throughput, extended signal range (I can personally attest to this), and less bandwidth contention than with other Wi-Fi gear. Those advances will help businesses, too, but IT will gain another reason to want to adopt 802.11ac, says Lisa Phifer, a network consultant at Core Competence: greater density, meaning more simultaneous connections per access point.
[ Wi-Fi printing that works: InfoWorld reviews 6 AirPrint options. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights via Twitter and with the Mobile Edge blog and Mobilize newsletter. ]
Still, both Phifer and Bob Egan, principal at the Seraphim Group consultancy and one of the original 802.11 standard's designers, say enterprise adoption of 802.11ac will likely take five years, even as home users and small businesses move faster.
Why the lag in larger businesses? One reason is that because 802.11ac can carry four times the traffic, IT will need to do much more than just replace access points. The backhaul needs to be bulked up as well, Egan says, both the internal backbone network and the connections to the Internet. That affects routers, switches, and more.
In the meantime, it's fine to replace individual access points with 802.11ac models. But at some point, you'll want to redo the site survey because the radio reach is different in 802.11ac than in 802.11a, 11b, 11g, and 11n. Plus, 802.11ac runs on the 5GHz band, which interacts with building materials differently than the 2.4GHz band used by 11b, 11g, and 11n.
Phifer notes that one advantage of 802.11ac is that its greater bandwidth per channel and higher throughout mean it can also be used for some internal backhaul. IT may not need to replace or upgrade all its physical network backhaul within buildings.
She also suggests that you avoid access points with plug-in modules for 802.11ac upgrades. Such access points may sound convenient, letting you upgrade ahead of a formal 802.11ac rollout, but the radios in 802.11ac routers are different than in earlier-generation routers; you likely won't get an optimal 802.11ac result when you do plug in the 802.11ac modules.
It's better to use 802.11ac access points today as you do your normal upgrades and in any new facilities, Phifer says. You might disable the 802.11ac radios to keep an all-802.11b/g/n network in the meantime. But it's usually safe to just leave 802.11ac on where you happen to replace or install new access points -- if access points end up so close they cause contention, you can deal with it first through channel-changing and, if that doesn't work, by disabling 802.11ac on some of those access points.
When you do an 802.11ac site survey in preparation for a major Wi-Fi redeployment, consider leaving your existing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n network at least partially in place. Using it for machine-to-machine wireless networking would create a clean separation of traffic that lowers the possibility of contention with computers, mobile devices, and printers; such separation also lets you achieve better security. You might also use that older wireless LAN for guest traffic, again creating a stronger separation for increased security and traffic control. Plus, putting guests on the slower network will discourage use of high-bandwidth services like video, which could see greater engagement due to 802.11ac's speed.
When all is said and done., it's a pretty straightforward transition for real benefits -- once all the pieces are in place, from client to wireless LAN to backhaul.
Then there's 802.11ad, aka WiGig, which is another Wi-Fi variation due in a few more years. It uses all-new spectrum (60GHz) and has greater speed but less range than 802.11ac. That means an all-new site survey. My guess is that early 802.11ad deployments will be more backbone-style uses or for a separate high-speed LAN segment meant for internal devices, not iPads and Androids. In other words, it's much too soon to worry about or to wait for 802.11ad.
But start your transition to 802.11ac -- or at least your planning for it.
