Streetline Receives The Wall Street Journal 2011 Technology Innovation Award
Streetline's Parker™ App Awarded Runner-up in Transportation Category
Oct 17, 2011, 15:12 ET from Streetline, Inc.
FOSTER CITY, Calif., Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Streetline, Inc. (www.streetline.com) has been named a 2011 runner-up for The Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Awards. Streetline was recognized in the transportation category for its smartphone app Parker™ that delivers real-time information on available parking spots nearby.
The Wall Street Journal received over 600 applications from companies, organizations and individuals in 31 countries. An independent panel of judges from venture-capital firms, universities and other organizations and companies assessed the entries based on whether the innovation breaks with conventional ideas or processes in its field, whether it goes beyond marginal improvements on something that already exists, and whether it will have a wide impact in its field or on future technology. From that pool, the judges chose a total of 35 winners and runners-up in 16 categories.
"Streetline is honored to be recognized as a leading technology innovator by such a prestigious publication," said Zia Yusuf, president and CEO of Streetline. "With the launch of Parker, we introduced the first fully integrated consumer smart parking platform that not only helps consumers easily find and pay for available parking, it also helps them access parking data – such as location and hours – for facilities across the US."
Streetline's patented smart parking platform detects the presence of a car through a network of ultra-low power wireless sensors located in individual parking spaces. By downloading Parker onto a smartphone or compatible tablet, consumers can access real-time parking availability – with icons noting more than four spaces available (plenty of parking), more than two spaces available (some parking), or less than two spaces available (limited parking). The app also delivers information about parking space time limits, pricing, whether meters take credit cards or coins, and space capacity for select off-street parking facilities including structures and lots.
The Wall Street Journal Technology Innovation Award winners will be honored at a dinner and awards ceremony on November 8 in conjunction with the VentureWire FASTech conference in Redwood City, California. For more information, please visit http://fastech.dowjones.com/.
Attendees to the 18th World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems that is being held from October 16-20, 2011 can visit Streetline at Booth #1445.
About Streetline, Inc.
Streetline's mission is to make smart cities a reality through the use of sensor-enabled mobile and web applications. We bring together all aspects of parking management technology in one integrated system – from street-level sensors to mobile apps, analytics, and parking management software. As the leading global provider of real-time parking solutions for cities, airports, universities, private garages, and motorists, Streetline has recorded more than 40 million parking sessions.

Why cradle an Oscar when you can cuddle a baby?
While most of Hollywood's A-list stars celebrated at the Academy Awards on Sunday, newlyweds Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively ditched the glamorous affair and spent time cheering up sick patients at a local hospital in Canada.
Reynolds, 36, and Lively, 25, made a visit to the Health Sciences North's pediatric unit in Sudbury, Ontario. Lively is visiting Reynolds while he is in town filming the drama Queen of The Night.
"I can tell you the visit was really appreciated by the kids, their parents and the staff on the unit," hospital spokesperson Dan Lessard tells Sudbury Northern Life. "Mr. Reynolds and Ms. Lively were wonderful with the children."
Sudbury resident Sarah Lavallee, who is watching over her 3-month-old son at the hospital, was grateful for the stars' visit.
"Ryan and Blake were both very kind to us. They introduced themselves right away and asked how my son was doing," Lavallee tells the paper. "I really appreciated both Ryan and Blake giving me something to smile about at such a difficult time."
The couple, who tied the knot last September, made their rounds chatting with multiple families and even took turns holding an infant.

CHENNAI, India -- Last year's runner-up Stanislas Wawrinka of Switzerland and gritty Serb Janko Tipsarevic posted second-round victories at the $450,000 Chennai Open, a hardcourt Australian Open tuneup.
The third-seeded Wawrinka was tested Thursday, as he snuck past 20-year-old Belgian qualifier David Goffin in a pair of tiebreaks, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-3), while the sixth-seeded Tipsarevic got past Russian qualifier Alexandre Kudryavtsev 6-2, 7-6 (7-3) at SDAT Tennis Stadium.
Wawrinka struck seven aces and needed just under two hours to dismiss a game Goffin, while Tipsarevic popped seven aces and broke Kudryavtsev on two occasions. Kudryavtsev failed to enjoy even one break-point chance against Tipsarevic, who reached the quarters here for a third straight year.
The hard-hitting Wawrinka lost to Croat Marin Cilic in last year's hard- hitting Chennai finale.
Wawrinka's quarterfinal opponent on Friday will be capable Dutchman Robin Haase, while Tipsarevic will take on Japan's Kei Nishikori.
Another seeded victor on Day 4 was the No. 8 Haase, as the promising Dutchman overcame Japanese qualifier Yuichi Sugita 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. The aforementioned Nishikori came back to beat dangerous Colombian Alejandro Falla 4-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Friday's other quarters will pit top-seeded Wimbledon runner-up Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic against Slovenian Blaz Kavcic and seventh-seeded former Chennai champion Xavier Malisse versus speedy German Bjorn Phau. The Belgian Malisse captured this event in 2007.
This week's champion will claim $68,850.

I wonder if the extra free time available to Tim will make him more friendly on the phone ;o)
Bike Forum
TF Tuned New Owners
i doubt it
Having met Tim in person he is a really nice guy and very helpful but I know what you mean about his phone manner! I think they deal with a lot of questions that in truth if us blokes RTFM we wouldn't have to bother them - lol
who owns it now? Is it still the place to get the work done then?
Isn't "RTFM" Tim's standard reply?
Seriously though, he's a top bloke that knows his stuff! What's happened then? Can't find any info...
Try the front page Mark.
Last time I spoke to him he was really friendly and helpful and sent me the spares I needed to fix my Pikes
solamanda - Member
Try the front page Mark.
I was! TFTuned's front page though... D'oh!
Tim Flooks was just fine with me on the 2 occasions I rang them.
why's he selling?
I've met Tim in person at a couple of races and he's always been a thoroughly nice chap, spoken with him on the phone and he's always been willing to go above & beyond what you could reasonably expect from someone who must be so busy.
I know the company will stay in operation and I'm sure it's great for Tim & Helen but it does still make me a little sad that a Company he's worked so hard to build up has been purchased by some who perhaps see it as little more than a cash cow.
I know, I know, I'm a cynical old git.
Tim Flooks was just fine with me on the 2 occasions I rang them.
why's he selling?
I was just being tongue in cheek, I've met him a few times, he's one of those people that isn't afraid to speak his mind (if that's how you want to put it), some people like that, some don't. Personally I think it's great as you know where you stand, and Tim SERIOUSLY knows his stuff. But some people like to be "schmoozed" as a customer, and have people pander to their ego's etc. Tim ain't the kind of guy to do that if you get my drift! Definitely a no nonsense, get the job done kind of guy.
And at a guess, I'd say the last point I made is probably why he's selling it, yet remaining on in a technical capacity. Just speculation but it would allow him to carry on doing the bits he's world class at (fixing bike suspension) without having to do loads of the other tat that most people don't like about running a small business (accounts, chatting to bank managers etc.)
He's probbers done OK out of it, doesn't now have to deal with the management BS but keeps onin a role he enjoys. Sounds good to me.
Try the front page Mark.
...what is this 'front page' you speak of?...
Doubt he could any more friendly the times I've rung or emailed for advice they've been spot on and very helpful.
Leave him alone, he really is a good bloke.
Just read some of the dumb ass questions posted on this and imagine getting interrupted by people asking similar kinds of questions when you`re trying to get on with a days work.....

You're absolutely right, don't think my tongue in cheek comment translated very well in written word! My bad!
I think they're referring to the original post, which was meant tongue in cheek.
yep I to have had dealings with Tim F and found him realy helpful, and I have met him on the Q's nice guy.
And to anyone who dissagrees be warned he is fuggin huge
43eded Verry verry nice man. He got stuck in a lift with me once in Alpe d'Huez. Poor chap.
Still.. lets hope the Technical title he has given himself isn't just a smokescreen to fade onto the distance and oblivion.
no wonder he needs the time off!

CERSKA, BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA — War crimes investigators uncovered two skulls and a layer of decomposed bodies Tuesday in a grave said to contain Muslim men from Srebrenica massacred by Bosnian Serbs.
Forensic specialists used a backhoe, shovels and wheelbarrows to carry away the top layer of soil. Red flags marked where human remains were found in the first complete exhumation of a mass grave northwest of Srebrenica.

For once, Joanne Walker's not out to save the world. She's come to terms with the host of shamanic powers she's been given, her job as a police detective has been relatively calm, and she's got a love life for the first time in memory. Not bad for a woman who started out the year mostly dead.
But it's Halloween, and the undead have just crashed Joanne's party.
Now, with her mentor Coyote still missing, she has to figure out how to break the spell that has let the ghosts, zombies and even the Wild Hunt come back. Unfortunately, there's no shamanic handbook explaining how to deal with the walking dead. And if they have anything to say about it - which they do - no one's getting out of there alive.

"A Satisfying Installment in the Series."
A good continuation of Jo's story. She's learning to embrace more of who she is. And Gabra Zackman's narration is wonderful as always.
I do recommend reading the series in order.
"I love this series"
This was another excellent book. I love Joanie's inner voice. I wish all of Murphy's writings were available on audible.com. Murphy, Ilona Andrews, Karen Chance, and Maria Snyder are my favorite authors. Please get all of their writings on audible.com. As always, Gabra Zackman is wonderful.
"C E Murphey Rocks"
This is one of my all time favorite series. Joanna Walker is such a kick ass heroine. Lots of philosophy, but also, lots of 'what the hell' lets go for it. Great cast of characters. Well written, unique perspective on urban fantasy.
"Last one for me?"
I started listening to this series with Book 1, when the narrator was Christine Carroll and really liked it. It's unfortunate that Audible or the publisher made the decision to use Gabra Zachman for all the subsequent books. Her style is really irritating, and I have sadly made the decision that I will be reading any additional books on my iPad rather than have to sit through her Valley Girl renditions. Maybe if I just read the books I will start to like the characters again, because honestly, it took me months to listen to this installment. The narration was so uninspiring and irritating that I just didn't care.
I nominate Ms. Zachman for the Raspberry Award as one of the most irritating narrators on Audible.
"narrator ruins it. Won't but any more"
I very much enjoyed the first book in this series, and though I didn't enjoy the narrator of the second book, I tried this third book to see if I just needed to get used to her. I can't. Her style seems monotonal compared to the first book's narrator, her character voices aren't as varied or as enjoyable to me, and she makes the author's writing style seem completely different and no longer appealing. The story is fine, but I just don't enjoy the reading style. Since this narrator is the one chosen for the rest of the series, I won't be buying any more titles.
"Not a zombie fan, but"
Love this series and this book! I love how the main character is always a work in progress. She'll admit she doesn't know it all, but isn't a whiney female who things just accidently fall into place for her.
"great story, very emotional the last half hour"
Went through quite a few tissues during the last half hour. Joanne is growing in her power, and her knowledge of her power and how to use it. Excellent narration. Brings everyone to life. Outstanding series.
"You have to love this author to buy it!"
I thought the captain and JoAnne would have more dialogue. Waste of my money a second time.
If you are a fan Ok. This author sucked me in again on the review. Never again. Way too slow and too many adjectives that do not add to the story line.
Ms Zackman is a great reader, but she can only make a good story great. She can not make a bad story good.
Way to wordy. Author needs a new editor at publisher. Decent story line, with good humor when author does not dwell on descriptions that do not add to the story.
I am done with this author
"Absolutely the worst book ever written"
Absolutely the worst book ever written i wasted $13 on this book the Narrator's voice could shatter glass
NO way
Complete disappointment
Absolutely the worst book ever written

Lancastria, Meknès Down
Germany's score for ruthlessness mounted last week in the accounts of two major ship sinkings, one old, one new:
Six weeks old was the hitherto censored story of the 16,243-ton Cunarder Lancastria. She was sunk in mid-June off the French harbor of Saint-Nazaire just after embarking 5,000 British troops and a sprinkling of refugee women & children for evacuation to England. Nine Stukas dived on her, three at a time. The first two waves missed. The third connected, but none of the three planes came out of its dive. All crashed into the...

text: I know that in a +L1 FIC tournament where there is a main draw of 32 consisting of 8 seeds, the eight seed positions are at slots 1, 5, 9, 13, 20, 24, 28 and 32. However, if eight of the thirty-two main draw slots are reserved for the qualifiers, are there predetermined slot positions in the main draw for those eight qualifiers or are the remaining 24 slots just assigned randomly between the rest of the main draw participants and the eight qualifiers? Should it be right that someone that made it directly into the main draw without having to qualify would have to play a main draw seed in the first round, or do the eight qualifiers normally get matched up against the eight seeds in the first round? If the qualifier slots are predetermined, can anyone provide a supporting USTA link that documents the draw layout?

California Bay Area
87-Stop Four-Manual Renaissance™ Home Installation
Dr. Ted Montgomery recently installed a new 87-Stop Four-Manual Renaissance™ Organ in his home. It is the fourth organ in Dr. Montgomery's home, replacing a small pipe organ, and is his third Allen. His home is an outstanding example of Country French architecture. Since the only doors large enough to allow passage of the organ console were in the dining room, it was necessary to "fly" the console up and over the house from the street below-"The Flying Organ!" Above the main room's fireplace and conversation area is a suspended library, where the organ's main audio systems are located. The audio system of the floating E. M. Skinner String Organ is installed in a room adjoining the library, making the effect of the String Organ drifting in truly remarkable.
Dr. Montgomery is very active in music and organ circles of the Bay Area and has been most gracious in sharing this outstanding installation with others.

On the EID board the ratepayers have two friends, directors Day and Prada. I had hoped that in Mr. Coco, we would have a third ally on the board. It seems that Mr. Coco has chosen to favor the developers and agricultural interests of the county over the residential ratepayers who actually elected him.
Contrary to his campaign pledge to freeze rates, he has voted to increase them. He has said he would like to increase rates by 30 percent! I have not seen where he has cut the costs of the agency, nor implemented "tough policies" that would make the EID "more efficient and cost-effective." Are we supposed to forget his campaign promises and just carry on?
I should have anticipated Mr. Coco's loyalty to special interests. They spent $60,000 to get him elected.
Coco is no friend of the regular ratepayer!

County cricket: Gloucestershire captain Michael Klinger out for three weeks
Last Updated: 23/06/14 3:58pm
Gloucestershire captain Michael Klinger has been ruled out of action for up to three week after breaking his toe.
The Australian opener was hit on his left foot during last Friday's NatWest T20 Blast defeat to Hampshire at the Ageas Bowl.
He was ruled out of the ongoing Championship Division Two match against Glamorgan at Bristol and x-rays have confirmed he has a small crack on his middle toe.
Klinger said: "The toe is still very sore and the x-rays have shown up a small crack.
"The experts are taking a close look at it and we will know a lot more later. At the moment, it's looking like it will be around three week."

In the case of any thermogenic product you have to use caution. Ephedra is a potent substance. It does speed up your heart but that does go away in most cases when you stop using it. If you have a clean bill of health using thermogenic products in a cycled phase can be effective. Have people died using thermo products? Yes they have. Those individuals also had previous health conditions or did not follow the dosage in most cases. However, clean diet and cardio are the best fat burner out there. Slow and steady wins the race.

Vigils will be held in Minnesota and several other states on Sunday to mark the 250 days three American hikers have been held in Iran.
One vigil is scheduled to take place in Robinson Park in Pine City, Minn., where the mother of Shane Bauer lives. Another Minnesota vigil will take place at Memorial Park in Shakopee.
The families of Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal have said the three were hiking in Iraqi Kurdistan when they accidentally crossed the border into Iran. Officials in Iran have accused them of being spies, and just this week Iran's intelligence minister said on an Irani TV station that the three have links to U.S. intelligence agencies.
The families have called the allegations "ridiculous." They said their loved ones have had no access to their attorney and have only been allowed to call home once.
Besides Minnesota, the other vigils are being held in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, South Africa and British Columbia, Canada.

Red Mass Marks New Court Term
Redefinition of Marriage Cases Prominent
BY Joan Frawley Desmond
Senior Editor
October 21-November 3, 2012 Issue | Posted 10/16/12 at 12:09 PM
WASHINGTON — As the U.S. Supreme Court prepared for a new term, Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese for the Military Services exhorted members of the high court to be guided by the Holy Spirit and moral norms that transcend political considerations.
"We have heard the question posed by the apostles just before the Lord Jesus ascended into heaven. Their vision was of a political reality alone: the end of Roman rule and the independence of the chosen people," stated Archbishop Broglio during his Sept. 30 homily at the annual "Red Mass," traditionally held at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle the day before the new term starts.
"It was a vision firmly anchored in this world alone. They would need the gift of the Holy Spirit, so as to purify their goals, understand their mission correctly and be able to accomplish it."
Addressing a congregation that included the chief celebrant, Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington, six of the nine justices on the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., and a slew of lawmakers, the archbishop called on the nation's public servants to allow their faith to guide their deliberations.
"We must be loyal Americans by being bold and courageous men and women of faith and conviction regarding the ethical norms that guide society and its choices," he said, paraphrasing a passage from a homily by Archbishop William Lori of Baltimore.
There are now six Catholics on the Supreme Court: Chief Justice Roberts and associate Justices Samuel Alito, Anthony Kennedy, Antonin Scalia, Sonia Sotomayor and Clarence Thomas.
During its most recent term, the court drew intense public scrutiny and partisan attacks as it reviewed legal challenges to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act; it upheld the health law in a controversial ruling on June 28.
Last January, in a closely watched First Amendment case, Hosanna-Tabor Evangelical Lutheran Church and School v. EEOC, the court unanimously upheld the "ministerial exception" doctrine, which bars government interference in the appointment of religious ministers.
The U.S. Catholic bishops applauded the Hosanna-Tabor decision. But the Supreme Court's ruling on the Affordable Care Act meant Church leaders must press ahead with legal challenges to the federal contraception mandate, which is authorized under the health law.
At press time, the high court's October 2012 docket includes 32 cases set for oral argument over the next two months. There are civil liberty, equal protection and criminal cases.
First Amendment scholars haven't flagged any of those cases, but lower-court decisions and congressional action could change the mix.
DOMA Showdown
Experts also predict the court will soon agree to hear appeals of lower-court decisions against the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and possibly review the court decision that invalidated California's Proposition 8, which in 2008 amended the state constitution to affirm "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
"Most of the DOMA cases address the same core issue: Can Congress define marriage for federal purposes as the union of a man and a woman?" noted Jim Campbell, legal counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom, who said the court was likely to review at least one DOMA case.
"I think that it is very likely that the court will grant review of rulings striking down DOMA and Prop. 8. It would be grossly irresponsible of the court not to do so," said Ed Whelan, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington-based think tank.
An expert on constitutional law who blogs at National Review Online's Bench Memos blog, Whelan has predicted that if the court rules against DOMA and Prop. 8 it risks igniting a "decades-long firestorm that will make Roe v. Wade's disruption of American politics appear minor by comparison."
In a Sept. 26 post, Whelan said the court should "affirm the proposition that the Constitution does not speak to the question of same-sex 'marriage,' but that it (the Constitution) instead leaves that matter to the political processes for decision."
Richard Garnett, a constitutional scholar at the University of Notre Dame, agrees that pressure is building on the court to address the "question of whether states are required by the Constitution to expand the definition of civil 'marriage' to include same-sex couples."
Earlier this year, the Ninth Circuit ruled against Prop. 8, and Garnett thinks the high court will likely review that decision "because — generally speaking — if a federal court invalidates a state law on federal constitutional grounds that state can make a strong case that it is entitled to review by the Supreme Court," said Garnett, who blogs at Mirror of Justice.
The Obama administration confirmed in February 2011 that it would no longer defend DOMA. Speaker of the House John Boehner quickly pledged that Congress would take up that responsibility, and Paul Clement, the former U.S. solicitor general in the Bush administration, was hired to defend the federal law.
The U.S. bishops are watching the DOMA cases carefully, not only because a redefinition of marriage in federal law would undermine an essential social institution, but also because it would trigger legal challenges designed to halt the operations of Catholic social agencies and educational institutions that adhere to Church teaching on marriage.
"If the definition of marriage is changed at the federal level, religious freedom will really be threatened," Archbishop Lori of Baltimore, the chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee on Religious Liberty, said.
The timeline for one or more DOMA cases moving into the high court's docket is still unclear, but Garnett speculated that the court might even "accept all of these cases at once."
Once a federal court "invalidates, on constitutional grounds, an act of Congress — even an act that the president has declined to defend — there is a strong argument that Congress, as a co-equal branch of government, is entitled to review of that invalidation by the Supreme Court," he explained.
Other Issues
But while the pressure is on to have the court decide DOMA's fate, experts don't expect any straightforward religious-liberty cases like Hosanna-Tabor to appear in the court's docket this term.
"From a First Amendment point of view, this could be a quiet term," said Mark Rienzi, senior counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.
"Theoretically, an HHS mandate case is possible, but these cases still have a ways to go. There are 30-some cases, but they are long shots," said Rienzi, who is a law professor at The Catholic University of America. He noted the government had moved to dismiss several legal challenges to the federal mandate, arguing that plaintiffs' concerns would be addressed in its proposed rulemaking.
For the moment, however, constitutional experts like Richard Garnett say they will be following the court's deliberations on a number of "controversial and interesting questions," including a challenge to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and an affirmative-action case, Fisher v. the University of Texas.
"Add this to the fact that, if President Obama is re-elected, at least one justice will almost certainly resign and be replaced this term, and you have an interesting year coming up," Garnett concluded.
At the Red Mass, Archbishop Broglio's homily (see sidebar) seemed designed to hold such political dramas at bay, as he repeated the ancient Roman maxim "Justice knows neither father nor mother; justice looks to the truth alone" and told the congregation that "those who involve themselves with human law are doing God's work. You are called to be involved with the same matters with which the Lord God is involved in relationship with his creation."
Quoting from John 14:23, he asked the justices to remember that "the ultimate value was the eternal judgment rendered by almighty God. 'Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.'"
'We Are Instruments in the Hands of the Lord'
The following text is the homily that was given by Archbishop Timothy Broglio of the Archdiocese for the Military Services at the 60th annual "Red Mass" in Washington on Sept. 30. Each year, the Mass is held the day before the Supreme Court's new term begins to ask God's guidance upon justices, judges, attorneys and senior government officials.
Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the archbishop of Washington, was the principal celebrant at the Mass at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle.
The author A.J. Cronin told the story of a district nurse he knew during the time he practiced medicine. She covered a 10-mile district by herself, was extremely capable and generous with her time. She was patient and cheerful. Her salary was insignificant, and late one night, after a particularly strenuous day, Dr. Cronin suggested that she demand a higher salary. "God knows you are worth it," he added. Her reply was classic: "If God knows I'm worth it, that is all that matters to me" [as recounted in Father Richard Beyer's The Catholic Heart Day by Day].
Indeed, if we live and work with the confidence that we are inserted into the Lord's plan, then that is all that matters. Is that not what the word of God tells us this morning at the 60th annual "Red Mass," as the readings invite us to be open to the Spirit of God, beg his blessing on a new judicial year, and strive to be instruments of a New Evangelization?
The passage from the Book of Numbers is fascinating. The Lord has guided the chosen people out of Egypt and through the desert, but there is a structure and a system to govern them. Seventy elders are chosen to help Moses with the task of judging, but Eldad and Medad miss the installation. Still, they receive the gift and the mission.
To Joshua's concern about a possible challenge to Moses' leadership, he explains that the Divine gift is not limited by place, but attached to the person, wherever he or she might be found. The sovereign liberty of God determines how he will act, and that obliges the believer of all times to question the temptation to close God within the narrow spaces of a justice which assigns itself the task of protecting the presumed rights of God while trampling upon those of his or her brothers and sisters.
Of course, you and I live in a world of forms, IDs, procedures and verification. One commentator on this passage suggested that in the near future in order to die you will have to fill out the appropriate form, and perhaps a diligent clerk will tell you to save the receipt to present to St. Peter at the gates of paradise.
Moses' wish is the better course: "Would that all the people of the Lord were prophets!" His invitation is to look for the evidence of the good, of truth and of the beautiful in another. There is not a monopoly of the Spirit, but, rather, an abundance of gifts to be used to build up the body of Christ.
How appropriate it is to speak about that abundance on Sept. 30, when we would normally celebrate St. Jerome, a learned doctor of the Church, who was first charged to translate the Bible from its original languages to the vernacular Latin. His talents were used to make the word of God accessible to the ordinary folk.
We remember him and remain inspired by his quest for learning, as we gather as a community of faith to beg an abundance of blessings upon the women and men of our judiciary and the legal profession.
It is a moment to pause and pray for those who serve our country and foster justice for all. We know that a believing community engages in prayer for the needs of all, but especially for those who face arduous tasks.
Indeed: "Justice is radically intolerant of injustice; justice seeks out injustice to destroy it. To emphasize security at the expense of eradicating injustice creates a fool's paradise" [as Archbishop Robert Dwyer said at the Red Mass in 1957]. The Romans put it more succinctly: "Justitia non novit patrem nec matrem; solum veritatem spectat justitia" — justice knows neither father nor mother; justice looks to the truth alone.
For that reason, we are here primarily to pray with you and for you as you execute the daunting task assigned to you at various levels. We beg a blessing for all of you and for all of those who assist you in this important ministry. We invoke the only Just One so that he might inspire all that you do. We recognize "that those who involve themselves with human law are doing God's work. You are called to be involved with the same matters with which the Lord God is involved in relationship with his creation" [as Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk said at the Red Mass in 1988].
We have heard the question posed by the apostles just before the Lord Jesus ascended into heaven. Their vision was of a political reality alone: the end of Roman rule and the independence of the chosen people. It was a vision firmly anchored in this world alone. They would need the gift of the Holy Spirit, so as to purify their goals, understand their mission correctly and be able to accomplish it.
So we pray for all of those gathered here, that they might welcome the strength of the Holy Spirit and the interior dynamism with which he fills our hearts. We do so just before the beginning of the Year of Faith given to us by the Holy Father, because there is a "need to rediscover the journey of faith, so as to shed ever clearer light on the joy and renewed enthusiasm of the encounter with Christ" [Pope Benedict XVI, Porta Fidei].
The mission is always audacious, but it is possible with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. We are instruments in the hands of the Lord, and so we pray to be ever open to his presence. The message is filled with hope: not only for eternal life, but also for the graces necessary so that our lives are truly noble, worthy of God and of the vocation he has given us.
We speak so often of the New Evangelization because we recognize that we must be its instruments in all that we do. The faith we hold in our hearts must motivate the decisions, the words and the commitment of our everyday existence. That existence is extraordinary, because it is infused with divine grace.
St. Thomas More said that he died the good servant of the King but the faithful servant of God first. We, too, are faithful citizens only when we embrace the fullness of the principles of our faith and allow them to enliven and fortify our contributions to the life of the nation. Or, to draw on the eloquence of the archbishop of Baltimore in a paraphrase: "We must be loyal Americans by being bold and courageous men and women of faith and conviction regarding the ethical norms that guide society and its choices" [Archbishop William Lori's installation Mass homily].
There is so much that we bring to the discourse of our society. Our faith expresses itself in worship, but also in witness. From the beginning, the Church has been active in society to make a contribution, especially to the care of the poor, but also to education. The first universities grew out of the monasteries.
We cannot separate who we are from how we live. To quote Father Alfred Delp, a Jesuit condemned to death by the Nazis, "Futility or ineffectiveness do not dispense one from speaking the truth, declaring what is right and just. … Woe if the prophets are mute out of fear that their word might not be heeded" [as quoted in Magnificat, Vol. 14, 2012].
I am reminded of my first year as a seminarian in Rome. An important 19th-century Justice Department building was closed because it was unsafe. It seemed to be sinking into the ground. Yet the Colosseum, Pantheon and the ruins of the Roman Forum were all still standing and could be visited. It was a good reminder that not everything contemporary is good — and that stable foundations are essential. Our society must also rest on stable, clear foundations. Otherwise, we run the risk of sinking into the mire of one popular sound bite after another.
Last January, the Holy Father recalled for the bishops of this region that consensus about the nature of reality and the moral good and the conditions for human flourishing are at the heart of every culture: "In America, that consensus, as enshrined in your nation's founding documents, was grounded in a worldview shaped not only by faith, but a commitment to certain ethical principles deriving from nature and nature's God."
Cronin's nurse knew that as well. She recognized that the ultimate value was the eternal judgment rendered by almighty God. "Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him" (John 14:23).

The photo and the facts
Clint Eastwood focuses on too many elements in epic story of World War II image
There's a famous line from the 1962 John Ford movie ``The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" : ``When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." That sentiment goes to the heart of our national propensity for mythmaking, and it applies as much to war as to westerns.
In ``Flags of Our Fathers," his new film about the 1945 battle of Iwo Jima and its legendary flag-raising photo, Clint Eastwood simultaneously tries to honor the legend and lay bare the facts behind it. If that sounds confused, well, so is the movie.
``Flags" is also brutal, elegiac, caustic, noble, sentimental -- a World War II film that tries to be all things to all Americans. That may be a fine way to win elections but it's hard on good filmmaking. You come out of the theater impressed by the scope of Eastwood's reach and frustrated by how little remains in his grasp. As gifted as this filmmaker is, this isn't the sort of thing he does best.
The chief flaw of the film is structural: ``Flags" intercuts between the grueling 35-day battle itself, the ensuing US tour of three of the supposed flag-raisers, and modern-day sequences in which the son of one of the men interviews his late father's fellow servicemen, sifting their memories for the truth.
There are three movies here, in other words, and two of them are ``Saving Private Ryan. "
``Flags of Our Fathers" is based on the 2000 book by James Bradley , son of John ``Doc" Bradley, and at one time it was intended to be directed by Steven Spielberg , who commissioned a script by William Broyles Jr . Spielberg is still credited as producer, but when the directorial reins passed to Eastwood, he brought in his house screenwriter, Paul Haggis (``Million Dollar Baby" ), to fine-tune the script. That's a lot of cooks.
There are even more in the movie. As is now known, that iconic Joe Rosenthal photo of six men raising a US flag atop Mount Suribachi wasn't quite what it seemed. The flag had already been raised by members of Easy Company early on the morning of Feb. 23 , 1945, as American forces took control of the beachhead. Told that one of the Navy brass wanted it as a souvenir, a battalion commander ordered a switcheroo -- no one but the Marines should have the glory of the memento, in his opinion -- and sent another group up to replace the first flag.
That's the image that went into the newspapers and the history books: an accidental fraud that doubled as a booster shot for an exhausted and nearly bankrupt America. Only three of that second group were alive by the end of the long battle -- Navy corpsman Bradley (Ryan Phillippe ) and Marines Ira Hayes (Adam Beach ) and Rene Gagnon (Jesse Bradford ) -- and ``Flags" re-creates the months-long whistle-stop tour on which the US government sent them.
It's an orgy of patriotic overkill meant to sell war bonds (and it does, to the tune of $23.3 billion), but the effect of the hoopla on the psyches of the men is ruinous. Asked to climb papier-mâché replicas of Suribachi in stadiums across the country -- to fireworks and Sousa marches, no less -- they mostly retreat further into themselves. The slick, naive Gagnon is happy to play the war hero; he certainly looks the part. The taciturn ``Doc" Bradley, a medic who risked his life dozens of times a day to aid the wounded, constantly drifts back into bloody memories of the battle.
The movie presents Hayes as the primary victim. A Pima Indian trained as a Marine paratrooper , Hayes wants no part of the glory, but every time he steps away from the limelight, there's some racist fool to put him in his place. Crippled by survivor guilt, Hayes turns increasingly to alcohol. ``I can't take them calling me a hero," he moans to his government minder (John Benjamin Hickey ). ``All I did was try not to get shot."
It's a solid, unsettling point: What really makes a hero? ``Flags of Our Fathers" tries to answer by constantly returning to the battle for the tiny Pacific island one character likens to ``a burnt pork chop." We see good men die horrible deaths, and Eastwood memorializes as much military bungling as individual bravery.
These are harrowing sequences and bloody as hell, but they use the same cinematic vocabulary as the D-Day scenes in ``Saving Private Ryan" without establishing their own emotional beachhead. Desaturating the colors from Tom Stern's cinematography so that everything is olive drab and deep crimson, Eastwood thrusts dozens of helmeted young men at us and asks us to keep them all straight. You appreciate their actions even as you're sorting them out.
The Japanese, dug into caves, remain unseen except for an occasional detonated corpse. Anyway, Eastwood is giving them their own film: ``Letters From Iwo Jima," told from the Japanese perspective and due in February . The battle in ``Flags of Our Fathers" is between dueling notions of valor: the simpleminded kind used to sell war on the home front and the bitter, endlessly compromised sort found in the trenches themselves.
The relevance to current events is there for the taking; the director doesn't force the issue. He's more interested in the young warriors who get caught between the legend and the facts -- between what we want from them and what they endure for us. It's a monumental subject, and this heartsick but diffuse movie only occasionally glimpses its entirety.

A passenger was thrown off a flight after noisily objecting to the pilot being a woman.
Just before take-off, he stood up and shouted: "Someone should have told me the captain was a woman.
"I'm not flying with a female at the controls."
Police were called to the domestic flight from the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte and, as other passengers booed him, led the man away. The flight was delayed by an hour.

There was once a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...a soccer ball! And this soccer ball rolled around a platform with a multitude of impossible obstacles. And then there was a mighty grandmaster that was able to control the ball with telepathic powers. Only his wisdom could prevent the ball from falling into the depths of outer space.
This may sound like the plot to the worst movie of all time, but we're not talking about Tom Cruise's latest blockbuster. I am proud to present to you an Android game called Hyperspace.
Is the game better than the background story? Look at our test results below.
|Reviewed version
|Latest version
Features & Use
Hyperspace is an Android game that requires both skill and concentration. It's similar to Labyrinth, but a whole lot faster.
The aim of the game is to guide a soccer ball to its end target as quickly as possible, while collecting as many points as you can. You'll come across the following obstacles along the way:
- Holes
- Blocks that slows you down
- Blocks that speed you up
- Blocks that reverses controls
- Blocks that bounces you backwards
- Skulls that chow down the ball
There are a total of five levels available in the lite version. It shouldn't take you long to get through all of them very quickly. You'll notice that this game requires a lot of practice to improve your results. In the lite version, you only have one difficulty level (normal), whereas as the full-version has:
At the end of your game, your collected points are added to a world-wide top scorer list. I didn't, however, manage to find out whether your points are really posted online.
Bottom Line:
Difficult, yet fun game. It reminds of a game I've played before, but I can't think of which one exactly. Any suggestions?
Screen & Controls
The game is played almost entirely using your tilt controls. You can accelerate/break the ball by tilting your phone forward and back. Same goes for moving the ball from right to left. The tilt angle affects the balls speed and acceleration.
The game's 3D graphics shows what Android has to offer.
Since the entire game is played using motion sensors, it's important to feel comfortable with your Android device. You should definitely calibrate your phone to make playing easier.
Bottom Line:
It's noticeable how much effort has been put into this game. According to the developers, it took over 6 months to develop this game. The menu graphics are pretty lame (hopefully you won't think I'm being too harsh here), but the 3D engine isn't too shabby! It definitely shows Android's amazing potential for the future.
All in all, it's a ton of fun that can be ruined at times by poor performance (check out the Speed section below). Don't be surprised if your battery life gets quickly depleted - this game eats up a lot of power.
Speed & Stability
This is a delicate issue with this game. At first, I thought I wouldn't even be able to play the game because of all the lags and glitches. Fearing a back-lash from our lovely community, I decided to give Hyperspace another chance.
I had to close every single other app and widget on my phone, in order to get Hyperspace running smoothly.
No crashes under my watch...
Why only two stars? Because it's really annoying having to shut down every single widget just to play a game. On my Hero, I've set-up a separate theme just to play Hyperspace. Otherwise, playing this game can be a big pain.
Price/Performance Ratio
Hyperspace LITE can be downloaded for free from the Android Market.

I don't know what phone the reviewer was playing it on, but I play it on my Eris (528 MHz processor), & I've never had any lag what so ever. 5* for speed and stability.

Ford used branch assembly plants all over the United States from 1915 on.
I covered the Jacksonville Assembly plant in a prior post here at this link.
Jess over at Vintage Seattle has some great photos of the Seattle Washington Ford plant as it stands today. You can view his page on the first Seattle Ford plant here.
The second Ford plant in Seattle was built at 4730 (now 4735) Marginal Way. This was an Albert Kahn designed plant built during 1930-32, but the plant was only used for 8 years upon which the property was turned over to the US Army. The Long Beach plant which I also covered in prior posts here and here. supplied sheet metal parts and other stampings to the Seattle plant. The 'new' plant at Marginal Way now serves as office space & other uses under the umbrella name "Federal Center South Complex".
In the next installment I will cover the Ford Assembly plants in Atlanta, GA, Richmond, CA and others.

Ben Affleck and Seraphina Grabbing Breakfast | Pictures
Ben Affleck Breaks For Breakfast With Sera Following His Weekend Win
Ben Affleck Breaks For Breakfast With Sera Following His Weekend Win
Ben Affleck took his daughter Seraphina Affleck to one of the family's favorite breakfast spots at the Brentwood Country Mart in LA this morning. A beanie-clad Ben held Sera's hand while she snacked on a sweet treat wearing a cute pair of boots. Sera spent yesterday with her older sister, Violet, and her mom, Jennifer Garner, at the farmers market in LA after an exciting night for Ben. The Director's Guild Awards took place Saturday night, and Ben was named filmmaker of the year. Taking home the evening's highest honor marked the latest accolade Ben earned for directing his film Argo. He may not be up for best director at the upcoming Academy Awards, but Argo is nominated for seven Oscars, including best picture.

Alex Anthopoulos remembers the night well.
Seated amongst the scouts at Olympic Stadium on
Sept. 29, 2002, he was charting Montreal Expos right-hander Tim Drew's first start of the year.
"I mentioned to the scout beside me how Drew was having a nice game. It may have been Larry Corrigan who was with the Minnesota Twins then, I'm not sure, but the more-experienced scout said, 'Take a look at the lineup, the averages, this isn't a real major league lineup.'"
Through the majesty of baseball-reference.com we can do so nine seasons later:
Reggie Taylor (.254), Jose Guillen (.242), Todd Walker (.299), Adam Dunn (.249), Russell Branyan (.230), Wily Mo Pena (.214), Travis Dawkins (.133) and Kelly Stinnett (.231).
Ken Griffey, Aaron Bone and Juan Encarnacion had the night off. No Barry Larkin, Austin Kearns or Jason LaRue, either.
"You are always leery of September competition," the Blue Jays general manager said on Monday afternoon.
The Jays continue their September run — their 18th consecutive without reaching October and post-season play — Tuesday night at Fenway Park. They have 15 games remaining; all 15 against teams with winning records.
The first 12 are against teams hoping to secure an October spot: The Red Sox (two games), the New York Yankees (three), the Los Angeles Angels (four) and the fast-closing Tampa Bay Rays (three). Then, the Jays finish with three in Chicago against the White Sox.
After the Red Sox lost to the Tampa Bay on Sunday, their fifth straight defeat and 10th in 13 games, David Ortiz said it was time to panic.
"This schedule should help in our evaluation process, we should be getting every team's 'A' lineup," Anthopoulos said. "This is as good as a September schedule a team could have.
"We're constantly trying to evaluate the way they react. You don't want to make too much of one series. We were swept in New York, then took three of four from Boston. Does that mean X over the course of six months? You can't overweigh one series."
A year ago the Jays were three games over .500. They wake up Tuesday one game above sea level.
The GM's biggest surprise to this point?
"Jose Bautista," Anthopoulos said. "The average is better. I didn't see him hitting .300. I didn't think he would improve defensively. He's better in all aspects of his game. He was already outstanding, it's why we signed him, then he went out and improved."
Bautista is hitting .305 with 98 RBIs. He leads with 41 homers, a .443 on-base mark, is slugging .627 and an OPS of 1.070. He also leads with 114 walks in 134 games. The right-fielder missed 13 games due a stiff neck and the birth of a child. A year ago he was hitting .264 with 42 homers and a 110 RBIs.
On the other side of the coin are Tuesday's starter Brandon Morrow and lefty Brett Cecil.
Morrow is 9-10 with a 5.12 ERA, striking out 177 in 153 innings in 26 starts. A year ago Morrow was 10-7, with a 4.49 ERA with 178 strikeouts in 146 1/3 innings in 26 starts.
"Morrow started well, had a good July, then struggled, we'll see how he finishes his final three starts," Anthopoulos said. "Right now Cecil's ERA is comparable, he started out slowly and went to (triple-A) Vegas."
Cecil is 4-9 with a 4.37 ERA in 18 starts. A year ago he was 12-7 with a 4.12 ERA on his way to leading the Jays with 15 wins. This season he made 12 starts at Vegas.
"A career progression does not go upward in a straight line," Anthopoulos said. "Russ Adams had a nice first year for us. Aaron Hill started out hitting .180 one year, was about to be sent out and then came on. Travis Snider and Adam Lind came up and had to go down. Roy Halladay was sent out.
"There are growing pains with a young team. Some might regress, some might get hurt. You can't be naive or stubborn to think they will all progress at the same rate."
The Jays take the field at Fenway Tuesday night with a 0.1% chance post-season play.
The earliest date they were eliminated was Sept. 3, 1995.

Previous entry
Entry title
So this will be like the modeling team's first ever notebook entry. Mary and I will be keeping the same notebook entries since we would basically end up writing the same thing anyway. So if you ever wonder why Mary has such a strange sense of humor...well...it's probably not her writing.
Anyway, I'll just give a quick rundown of what we've been up to these last couple of days.
We created a model for how BLH and RalDHII convert B-carotene into retinoic acid.
We started a model that shows how IPP is converted into B-carotene. The model is extremely complicated because of all the intermediates and there are likely a lot of side reactions which we have still yet to consider.
We also did quite a bit of work with further modeling and analyzing how IDO will ultimately affect levels of Trp operon activity. Essentially, the problem we see from the models is that IDO reacts much more quickly with Trp than 5MT, which is problematic. If we have a high initial concentration of 5MT so that the system would see a large fluctuation of 5MT compared to Trp, time it takes for 5MT levels to drop are on the time scale of thousands of seconds because IDO reacts so slowly with 5MT. On the other hand, if we use lower levels of 5MT, we run into the problem that the levels of Trp fluctuate much more greatly than levels of 5MT. So yeah, basically the model just continues to confirm our troubles with the Trp Operon.
In addition, the team decided that it would be most productive to split all the non-modeling people into subgroups to allow them to study a particular component of the system. Basically, this would allow the modeling team to focus less on the biological details of a particular reaction and while allowing another team member to become the expert on a particular topic.

In a recent move to dispel rumors that the state of Minnesota actually counted mud puddles in their original slogan "Land of 10,000 Lakes" they have hired a group of scientist who had just finished a tour in the Antarctic. Melvin Swensen an Under Secretary to the Undersecretary to the Undersecretary of the interior states that too many rumors are flying that the real amount of lakes most likely does not exceed over two thousand lakes. He said that the scientist would use the most up to date equipment and a GPS satellite to count lakes. He said that the scientist has been given dimensions to follow and that if a water area does not match that dimension then it will not be counted.
Mr. Swensen states that he personally believes that the original count was taken from a bar in mid winter when most lakes were frozen over.
When asked if the count was less than 10,000 what were they going to do, Mr. Swensen stated that they will present the old count to the legislators for the state and let them vote on accepting the original count. The legislators will vote to have the plus or minus sign stamped on the license plates. "It is not as though some lame brain is actually going to count those lakes, and even if they do by the time they are finished the State will have found a new way to count all the water ponds and rain over filled areas." Melvin Swenson states that mud puddles dry up to quickly to be counted and that places that cannot handle the rain overflow will be added into the lake factors. He is sure that the scientist will find more than enough so the license plate will not have to be changed. Mr. Swensen is pictured situated among the scientist he is the only male standing.
Mordachai Brunner the head of the team said he is looking to get their count done as quickly as possible and now that it is the winter season most of the lakes will be frozen and easier to measure for dimensions and counting. He ads that in the winter it is more pleasurable to count as the Minnesota state bird "The Mosquito" is dormant and will not bother the group.

Remember when the USDA gave Monsanto's new GMO crops the fast track to approval? Regardless of the numerous accounts of organ damage, pesticide-resistant weeds, and unintentionally mutated organisms like resistant insects, our own government is manipulating the game to let "biotech bullies" like Monsanto get speedier regulatory reviews. Consequently, the environment, livestock, and consumers will be exposed to even greater danger.
As stated in their press release, the Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, envisions transforming the USDA "into a high-performing organization that focuses on its customers." We'd like to think that we, the consumers, are those customers. The likes of Monsanto, Dow, and Syngenta, however, would probably disagree.
Here's your chance to tell the USDA otherwise. The first two crops on this list have been on the old, slower-track approval process, which allows 60 days for the public to comment. The remaining four are new additions but are on the fast track, meaning we still only have until September 11th of 2012 to have our say before these seeds hit the soil and, maybe, your dinner table.
6 New GMO Crops to Act Against
GM foods are bad news for the earth and all of us who live on it. Have your voice heard while you can.

Jack Osbourne rushed to a drowning woman's aid while on his honeymoon in Hawaii October 8, and after being attacked by "oddly and hostile fans" online following the incident, Osbourne says he does not want to take all the credit for saving a life.
Coming under fire after wife Lisa Stelly first tweeted of the incident — in which Osbourne and his friend Tyler resuscitated a woman and remained by her side until paramedics arrived — the newlywed wrote on his Facebook page that he wasn't the only lifesaver that day.
"I never said I was the sole contributor in the rescue," Osbourne — who spent five years as a police reserve and is trained in CPR — wrote. "In fact, I haven't said anything at all. The last thing I want to do is take all of the credit when in fact there were a few people who helped save her life."
Osbourne, 26, went on to detail how he and his friend Tyler, a former Army operator, assisted five other Good Samaritans in resuscitation efforts under the direction of a neurosurgeon from Japan. Osbourne and his friend lifted the woman onto spine board and took over chest compressions while a golf cart took her from the beach to a nearby hotel and awaiting ambulance.
"During his attempt, I was holding the woman's lifeless body so she wouldn't fall from the moving vehicle," Osbourne writes. "Tyler and I switched positions, and I straddled the woman in order to get the right amount of leverage for the chest compressions. Once we arrived, we waited for the EMT for approximately 4-6 minutes. During that time, I continued to administer chest compressions. As soon as the EMTs arrived, I backed away and let them take over."
According to Osbourne, the woman he helped rescue is on the mend. "I hope she has a speedy recovery," the documentary producer wrote to conclude his Facebook post.
Osbourne and actress Stelly, 27, the parents to daughter Pearl, 6 months, tied the knot October 8 as his mom Sharon, dad Ozzy and sister Kelly looked on. "I cried tears of joy from beginning to end," the groom's mother later recounted of the emotional wedding ceremony.

Israeli Foreign Minister Shlomo Ben Ami met secretly Monday in Paris with a senior official from Qatar, which last month closed the Israeli trade office in Doha, the Haaretz newspaper reported on Thursday.
The paper said that the meeting was apparently with Ben Ami's counterpart, Sheikh Hamad Ben Jassem al-Thani.
Israeli government sources said that the meeting was "very good", and that there would probably be a follow-up, according to Haaretz.
Qatar, current chair of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, on November 9 closed the Israeli trade office under pressure from Saudi Arabia and Iran ahead of an OIC summit, which called on Islamic nations to break ties with the Jewish state.
The office had been opened in 1996 -- Albawaba.com

A prominent member of the Nigerien Party for Democracy and Socialism (PNDS-Tarayya), has called on the international community to help fund the presidential election scheduled for 3rd January 2011.
Bazoum Mohammed said the military junta is incapable of providing all the funds needed for the election, which he said could seriously delay Niger's much anticipated transition to constitutional rule.
"We have to look for 27 billion francs with our external partners. I think that it is a big challenge and we will have to call to our partners to find this fund. Otherwise, we will have a delay and we don't politically need it (the delay)," he said.
Niger's Independent Electoral Commission (CENI) said it needs 30 billion francs ($57,333,026) to organize next year's election.
But, the military junta said it can only provide 3 billion francs ($ 5,733,302) out of the 30 billion needed for the vote.
The electoral commission announced Sunday that the country's presidential and legislative elections will be held on 3rd January next year.
The electoral body also said the run-off will be held on 14th January if none of the presidential aspirants wins over 50 percent of the total vote cast.
Mohammed said there is a need for the international community to help fund next year's vote.
"We have to call our partners, the European Union, UNDP (U.N. Development Program), U.S.A (United States) and even some other countries like Japan, and ECOWAS, (Economic Community of West African States) (and) African Union. Everybody has to be mobilized to help this fund because we have to go out of this military rule and this transition," Mohammed said.
Officials of Niger's electoral commission were sworn in last month tasked with organizing the elections and to ensure the winner of the presidential vote will be sworn in by 1st March 2011, as stipulated in recommendations by the National Consultative Council.
The swearing in of the new president will effectively end the rule of the military government that overthrew former President Mamadou Tandja. Mr. Tandja came under international criticism after he changed the constitution that removed term limits.
Niger's military junta set up the National Consultative Council to help the country's transition to constitutional rule.
Led by opposition leader Marou Amadou, the Consultative Council has 131 members drawn from political parties, trade unions, civil society groups and security forces.

Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance
Details of Disappearance
Amy was last seen hitchhiking near her home in Coconut Grove, Florida. It was a school holiday and Amy was meeting her friends downtown for lunch. By dinnertime, the Billigs knew something was wrong and contacted a Miami police officer who was a family friend. He said to wait 24 hours before reporting Amy as missing. Next day the family called the police.
Amy was a student at Miami South High School at the time. She loved the music of Bob Dylan, Judy Collins and Joni Mitchell, she wrote poetry and was into love and peace. Her father, Ned Billig, owned a gallery in Miami's artists' quarter of Coconut Grove. He last saw her as she stopped by for lunch money.
Until her death in 2005 Sue believed it was no coincidence that her daughter vanished on the way to meet her friends on the same day that several hundred Hell's Angels roared into town on their bikes in celebration of their annual "Bike Week". Two days after Amy's disappearance a woman rang the Billigs to say that the Outlaw motorcycle gang had abducted Amy and were holding her against her will. Over the years, Sue Billig personally investigated nearly 100 claims from people alleging that they knew what happened to her daughter.
In 1997 a retired Hell's Angel, Red Pompano, 65, and suffering terminal cancer, claimed that Amy and a friend had been lured by bikers to join a drugs party in a remote part of the Everglades. The friend managed to escape, but Amy was drugged and abducted by a biker named Paul Branch who kept her a virtual prisoner for two years. But when Sue Billig found Branch he was also terminally ill and refused to confirm that he had abducted Amy. But he did say that she had a two-inch-long appendicitis scar — something that had never got into the media. Branch died a week later before Sue Billig could question him further.
Ned Billig and his wife Sue are dead, but Amy's brother Josh keeps up the search for her.

WARREN (WWJ) – One hundred and seventy-two and half pounds and counting. That's how much weight a Warren teen has lost who stars in the Style Network TV Show, "Too Fat for 15." When 17-year-old Hayley Bailiff decided to go to a school for obese teens called Wellspring in late August, she tipped the scales at 511 pounds.
"Last February, my dad came up and talked to me and he told me that my uncle and he had been talking and I pretty much had to choose to either figure something else to do about my weight, or do the lapband surgery."
Bailiff had heard about Wellspring, where the TV show is shot and decided to go there. She had struggled at Warren's Regina High School, where she was bullied so badly, she was sometimes forced to miss class.
"At school, it was difficult being overweight, because they had seats that were connected and I couldn't fit in the connected seats. So I always had to get to my classes early to make sure that I could get a seat that was unconnected."
Hayley says she has a hard time taking compliments about how good she now looks when she returns home like she did for tonight's episode of the show. But she's enjoying her weight loss.
"Just playing team sports every day is so much easier, it's ridiculous," Hayley says. "And I can help out my team that much more, which gives you a confidence boost….You become that much more needed…wanted."
Her advice to other teens struggling with their weight?
Bailiff says, "Try and do something about it now, because soon enough, you'll be giving up your senior year to go away and leave all your friends, and not be able to go to prom."
"Too Fat For 15" airs Monday nights at 8 on the Style Network, with re-runs throughout the week.

Gov. Walker vetoes a provision after CUs, banks say it gives payday lenders undue authority.
Measure backed by bankers, credit unions and city of Milwaukee.
The recent public exchange between the Wisconsin Bankers Association and the Wisconsin Credit Union League over member business lending sounds a lot like what has been going on in our nation's capital for months. A stalemate between two parties who argue they can do it better, yet no one gets...
The Wisconsin Bankers Association says most of the state's credit unions are not near their respective member business lending caps.
Wisconsin, fast becoming the nation's battleground for credit union-bank clashes over the tax exemption and CU to bank conversions, erupted anew last week with dueling press releases following a fresh appeal from the banking lobby to Congress tied to the debt crisis.
Dairy State imbroglio over tax exemption continues to heat up.
WBA calls exemption "sacred cow"; WCUL calls bankers hypocrites, citing years of no taxes while reaping profits and taking bailouts.
League committee to meet on July 20 to discuss next step after bankers win battle over bill to smooth way for credit unions to become banks.
Wisconsin Credit Union League harshly critical of measure in budget bill that bankers say eases path for credit unions to become banks.

As you know, I've been writing for Horrornews.net on and off, and I've got a bunch of reviews over there (probably about 15 to 20 films) that you won't find showing up on The Moon is a Dead World.
The latest is Monster Dog, the 1984 Spanish werewolf film starring Alice Cooper (but not his voice). There are a couple of music videos in this movie written by Cooper himself; besides the glam, though, there's not much point in seeing this Z-grade film.
Check out my review here, and leave some comments – it's lonely writing all by my lonesome without an audience.

The pound stumbled against the dollar and the euro this week as Bank of England governor Mark Carney appeared before MPs and suggested there was more spare capacity in the labour market than once thought – which implies the economy can recover more before there's likely to be much wage inflation, or pressure to raise interest rates. This contrasted sharply with his warning of just a fortnight ago that rates could rise faster than markets expected.
One MP accused the bank of behaving "like an unreliable boyfriend. One day hot, one day cold." Meanwhile, several British firms, including defence group Chemring and chemicals maker Croda, have warned that the strong pound, now at a five-year high against the dollar, is undermining foreign sales.
What the commentators said
Perhaps Carney's chopping and changing represents "a new policy of quantitative teasing", said Ruth Sunderland in the Daily Mail. While he could argue that when the data changes it makes sense to change one's mind, "too many apparent U-turns within too short a time creates confusion".
The City is "entirely baffled", agreed Larry Elliott in The Guardian. Carney's main policy initiative, forward guidance, "lies dead in the water". Far from reducing uncertainty about future rate rises, he has returned us to the time when the Bank assumed "the future was unknowable and… the interest-rate decision had to be judged afresh each month". So "apart from the bigger salary and the Canadian accent", there is barely any difference between Carney and his predecessor Mervyn King when it comes to monetary policy.
Meanwhile, the Bank is probably glad that sterling has hit its recent highs, said Phillip Inman, also in The Guardian. It will keep a lid on import prices and offset inflationary pressure. But if a high exchange rate becomes entrenched, then "exporters [may] decide the pound is working against them to such an extent that they may as well give up".
However, the fuss about the pound hitting exports is overdone, said Jeremy Warner in The Daily Telegraph. Manufacturing comprises just 10% of the economy now, and it's mostly "niche, high-value-added, and relatively price-insensitive". The same is true of service exports, at which we excel. This is why our exports haven't really benefited from a weaker pound in recent years, but should also be largely unaffected by a stronger one. The level of the currency can't be the decisive factor in the long-term performance of a country's manufacturing sector. Look at Germany: its industry adapted perfectly well to a steadily climbing deutschmark.

Good Points
Live! features such as downloadable games are cool!!!
Bad Points
Picture quality, calendar is sooooo freaking bad, no alarms when phone is off.
General Comments
I have my Vodafone Live! GX10 since February '03, the phone is good in attracting other people's attention on you. Its downloadable games collection gives hours of fun.
But the phone sucks when comes to organizer capabilities.
The calendar is poorer than poor (only 3 events per day, no reminder possible), the alarm clock is even worse (it can only be programmed 24 hours in advance, it cannot contain any notes so sometimes you don't remember why you set the alarm in the first place and the MOST ANNOYING fact is that it doesn't set off when the handset is off!!! it just gives you a message that you had an alarm only when you turn the handset on).
My previous Siemens phone had none of the cool features of GX10 but had an excellent calendar that let you organize your life...
After that I had to buy a palmtop...
Written on: 13/08/2003
Totally agree with you there. I got the GX10 in March and was happy with it because of the camera and it looks good, BUT the calendar and alarm functions are rubbish. Swapped it for the Sony Ericsson T610 and I am very happy!
