Each week, this article highlights players who are widely available in standard leagues that can help in specific roto categories. Remember, while each player highlighted can help in a specific category, there's no guarantee for production in other areas.
Marvin Williams, PF, Jazz
Williams has gone for 20-plus points in three straight games. More importantly, he's attempted 15-plus shots from the field in three straight games, which gives reason to believe his productivity could continue. Now, he happened to go 5-of-8 from downtown in his last two games, and we know that won't continue to be the case each night, but the optimist would point to the fact that Williams is proving that he's a more than capable shooter from long range, and the numbers bear that out. He is shooting just a tick over 40 percent from behind the arc, which is the first time he's eclipsed that mark in his nine-year career. The Jazz beat the Heat on Saturday night, so suffice it to say they'll stick with what worked in that game, at least in the short term, and Williams was a focal point of the offense against Miami. He is available in more than 90 percent of ESPN leagues and more than 80 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Khris Middleton is another option here, but then you'd be buying into whatever it is the Bucks are doing, and thus setting yourself up for disappointment and befuddlement.
Jared Sullinger, PF, Celtics
I've been saying all year that Sullinger was the one guy in the Celtics' frontcourt to hold on to, and if you followed that line of thinking, you don't need me to tell you how fantastic he's been lately. He's averaging 23.8 points and 13.8 boards, while seeing 35.5 minutes per game over his last four games. He won't average those numbers for the rest of the season, but I'm buying this production more than I'm selling it, so if you aren't fortunate enough to have Sullinger on your team, I'd offer an appealing package in a trade for him, in case his owner thinks he can sell high. Coach Brad Stevens said he thinks Sullinger can be a double-double guy, and the raw ability is certainly there. For some reason, the Celtics beat writers seemed to be treating this breakout as some big surprise, when anyone who watches the team knows that Sullinger's talents in the paint know no bounds. When a reporter asked Gerald Wallace if he was surprised by Sullinger's last week of games, Wallace almost seemed pissed off at Sully for taking this long to start playing this way outside of practice. I'm not treating Sullinger like a top-50 player moving forward, but he's closer to that level than you might think.
Steve Blake, PG, Lakers
I'd been kind of hanging back, with regards to the Lakers point guard situation, not wanting to jump the gun on any one guy until we saw how it played out. The early returns point to Blake being the guy, at least in terms of the traditional point guard categories. He suffered a ruptured eardrum in Tuesday's game, which sounds pretty traumatic, but he stayed in the game and then went out the next night of the back-to-back set and put up a triple-double with 15 dimes. Granted, it came against the Cleveland Cavaliers calamity of a backcourt defense, which also got out of Jordan Farmar's way as he cruised to 21 points and eight assists, but 15 assists is still 15 assists even if it came against the sieviest (I don't care if that's not a word) backcourt in the league. In fact, I want to take this opportunity to remind all daily leaguers to start whichever tandem of point guards and shooting guards is playing the Cavaliers on any given night. You can thank me later. Blake is owned in most ESPN leagues, but is still out there in more than 50 percent of Yahoo! leagues. If you missed out on Blake, Farmar's not a terrible option either.
Patrick Beverley, PG, Rockets
Beverley's gradually getting less horrific with his shooting percentage, and he offers so much in the other categories, that he's worth scooping up in most category leagues. Last week I highlighted his rebounding prowess from the point guard spot, this week I'm pointing to his defense. Over his last three games, he's averaging 2.3 steals and 1.3 blocks, which warrants a look, despite the fact that he won't blow your mind with assists or scoring. He's available in more than 80 percent of Yahoo! leagues and more than 90 percent of ESPN leagues. Tony Allen is also a guy who's flying a little under the radar. He is nearing a return from a hand injury, and when he does come back, he'll be a solid option here too.
John Henson, PF, Bucks
Despite referencing the Bucks frontcourt quagmire as a reason not to go for Khris Middleton, if you need blocks, Henson is still worth the roster spot. He was dropped in a lot of leagues after his latest injury, and in two games back, has already swatted five shots. He doesn't need huge minutes to do damage either, and when he does see big-time run, he puts up big-time numbers across the board, so there's a lot of upside here. He's available in roughly half of all leagues. Ronny Turiaf, Greg Stiemsma and Elton Brand offer blocks and very little else.
Tim Hardaway, SG, Knicks
I still like Hardaway a lot here. He hasn't been making three-pointers at an outrageous rate lately, but he's still attempted six-plus from downtown in each of his last five games, while seeing 30.4 minutes per game over that stretch. He's not a Kyle Korver or Stephen Curry level dead eye, but the quantity has been making up for the quality during this recent stretch. He's available in a little over 80 percent of leagues.

Need to Dual boot a hardware RAID 0 between Vista and Ubuntu 8.04
I have 2 160GB SATA HDD's I partitioned Vista to get 129 of the 149 GB's. I need to have Ubuntu 8.04 on the other partition (not set-up it is merely free space) and don't know how to make ubuntu read the RAID 0 array. It lists the hard drives as 2 seperate things. Help!
P.S. This is a true hardware RAID there is no RAID card involved just my mobo telling the computer that there is a single HDD.
Please post specs of your motherboard. If it is raid through the motherboard, you most likely have what they call 'fakeRAID' which is really software raid under the covers. Anyway, Ubuntu clearly states they don't advise installing on fakeRAID, but here is a link to a howto on their site:
It's a bit daunting only because the page is so long, but I think you only need to worry about the install portion.
Hope this helps! Good luck.

Q. Be careful taking over-the-counter potassium! It can build up in your body and eventually stop your heart. Consult your doctor about the proper dosage before starting. I nearly killed myself taking potassium on my own a few years ago.
A. Potassium is one of those "Goldilocks" minerals—both too little and too much can be deadly. A physician should use a blood test to monitor anyone who takes a potassium supplement, whether it is prescription or over the counter.

Initially, you may see a slight drop in your score because of the Hard Inquiry. Once you get the card and make your first payment, the card issuer should report to the bureaus a day or two after your due date. Assuming you pay it almost off (not down to 0%), you should see an immediate increase in # of accounts and Open Utilization. This should raise your score more than what it fell for the hard inquiry. All of this depends on your current state. Opening a new card will usually raise your score but could be offset by the drop in your average age of open credit.

UW-Whitewater gears up for Wabash
You won�t find many teams with a better nickname than the Little Giants.
The Little Giants will be at Perkins Stadium on Saturday, and UW-Whitewater coach Lance Leipold says his opponent doesn�t live up to its nickname.
�The first thing that catches your eye is their size,� Leipold said. �They�re probably the biggest team physically that we�ve seen since September.�
Wabash (11-1) enters the NCAA Division III quarterfinal game off an impressive 38-23 second-round victory over previously undefeated Case Western last week. Wabash quarterback Matt Hudson completed 33 passes to nine receivers for 308 yards and five touchdowns.
The Little Giant defense had five sacks and 13 tackles for losses totaling 54 yards.
Wabash�s offensive line is led by All-North Coast Athletic Conference picks Brian Hilts and Jeremy Morris. Hilts is a 6-foot-7, 274-pound senior left tackle, while Morris is a 6-6, 302-pound junior right tackle.
Skip Tokar is a 6-6, 310-pound sophomore right guard.
Hudson is a 6-6 sophomore who has thrown for 2,603 yards and 24 touchdowns while completing 207 of 300 attempts.
His favorite targets have been sophomore Brock Graham (64 catches, 561 yards and 5 TDs) and senior Mike Russell (61, 760, 5). Senior Bart Banach has seven touchdowns among his 39 catches and senior Gabe Guerrero has six TDs in just 25 receptions.
Leipold said the Warhawk defense will be out to prevent big plays. Wabash has averaged 6.3 yards per play, including 12.3 yards per pass reception.
�They do have great weapons on the outside and do a good job of getting them the ball,� Leipold said.
Wabash has averaged 31.7 points a game. The Warhawk defense has limited opponents to 14.5 points and 273 yards per game.
One of the keys for the Warhawk defense since the team�s only loss to Division II St. Cloud State has been turnovers. Whitewater�s veteran defensive secondary and linebackers have 27 interceptions, which has helped the Warhawks (11-1) earn a plus-19 turnover advantage.
Ben Farley has six picks, Matt Blaziewske has five and Tristan Borzick and Andy Murray have four each.
Even defensive end Ryan Orgizovich has gotten into the turnover act, returning both a fumble and an interception for a touchdown in the playoffs.
�Our defense has been carrying us for the last few weeks,� Leipold said. �We�ve been very opportunistic the last month or so.�
Linebacker Adi Pynenberg leads the Wabash defense. The 5-11, 213-pound senior was the conference Defensive Player of the year and like Whitewater running back Justin Beaver,is a Gagliardi Trophy finalist.
Pynenberg has 86 solo and 72 assisted tackles, 25.5 tackles for losses, eight sacks, three interceptions, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
Beaver and the Warhawk offense are averaging 32.9 points and 391 total yards per game.
The 5-foot-9 senior back out of Palmyra has rushed for 2,001 yards and scored 13 TDs this year, running his career total past the 6,000-yard mark.
�He�s an extraordinary player,� Leipold said. �We don�t fool anybody with Justin. He gets his share of carries.�
And that has been enough to again get to the Elite Eight.

Welcome to This is Europa
We are glad that you are visiting our site and we want you to feel welcome here.
This is Europa is an independent community that brings together dedicated individuals who are driven with the same aim to highlight and reverse current policies that we deem as harmful to our people. In every Western country, we can see the same trend: white European peoples are becoming a minority in their own homelands, and anyone who tries to oppose it is without exceptions demonized or ridiculed.
We believe that these policies are intentional and are enforced and supported by people with an anti-white mindset, and that it is responsible for causing our politicians to favour policies that lead to our people becoming a minority in Europe and other Western countries.
Some say that this cannot be changed in a peaceful way but we highly believe in peaceful solutions to these challenges and we want to inspire others to take action within our Statement of Principles in order to make a better society and to stop our people from becoming a minority in our own homelands. We believe that this is the morally right thing to do. After all, no matter how you try to do away with a group of people it would be morally wrong. Were Mexicans, for example, to be exposed to politics that would lead to a Mexican minority in Mexico everybody would see it as immoral.
As a way to counter this development, we want to help others understand that a future for our people does not exclude a future for other peoples and races. After all, it is not inhumane for Africans to live in Africa or Asians to live in Asia.

HornsNation is counting down the top five moments of Texas' 2012 season this week.
Play No. 5
The game: Geno Smith and West Virginia had been untouchable. The quarterback was a Heisman candidate who, through four games, had yet to throw an interception and had been sacked only four times. West Virginia was 4-0 coming into the game, and that put a scare into the traditional powers with the thought that the Mountaineers might be national title contenders. Texas represented their first big test of the season.
The play: Texas was trailing 21-14 but had momentum and had stuffed WVU for minus-4 yards on its two previous plays. Smith dropped backed to pass from the his own nine but never had time to get rid of the ball. Instead, defensive end Alex Okafor got into the backfield, sacked and, more importantly, stripped the ball from Smith. Bookend Jackson Jeffcoat fell on the ball in the end zone and Texas tied the game at 21 in the second quarter. The play electrified the largest home crowd in Darrell K. Royal Memorial Stadium history and the stadium shook as the 101,851 in attendance jumped in the stands.
The play was also a portent of thing to come. Okafor sacked and stripped Smith again in the fourth quarter. This time the defense was not able to fall on the ball and score. Instead, Chris Whaley's fumble recovery gave Texas the ball at the WVU 12. Lamentably, Texas' offense failed to produce points in what proved to be the drive that determined Longhorns' losing fate.

Little change for cotton
The stock markets open at
this hour show little change as is the case with most US commodities.
ICE Spec/Hedge & CFTC
COT Reports – Per the ICE exchange, spec added 585 new longs and 4,055 new
shorts for a net decrease in spec longs by 3,470 contracts. Over the past two weeks specs have
reduced their net long position a total of 7,666due to the addition of nearly 9500
new shorts from Dec 6-17. The CFTC legacy type reports show similar activity
with non-commercials in futures only.
As of Tues, Dec 14, spec added 622 longs but 4,456 new shorts for a net
reduction of their net long position by 3,834 contracts. However, as was the case the preceding
week, specs appear to be buying options to offset any risk in their new shorts
as the futures/options report show 1,295 new longs and 1,469 new shorts.
US Classing/Loan Data – As of
Dec 16, another 931,369 running bales were classed of which 74.9% is
tenderable. For the season,
15,008,421 running bales have been classed or 85% of the NASS crop estimate of
18.27 mln statistical bales. Due in large part to Texas, the tenderable amount
of the US crop has advanced to 64.4%. The only states with a significant amount of cotton
still being classed by mid-December are Texas, Ga Ca, Ok, Az and SC. Five states though are through,
Ark, La, Ms, SC and Va.
As for loan information,
672,227 running bales entered the loan program and 510,521 were redeemed for a
net in-movement of 161,706. As of
Tues, Dec 14, 4.07 mln running bales are in the loan program. To no one's surprise, Tx has the most
cotton in the loan program, 999K bales.
Next is NC then Ga followed by Tn, Ms and Ark. Another way of viewing
the amount of cotton in the loan, 3.57 mln is there by way of
co-ops and the remaining 497K was entered by producers.
The March contract went
through its Nov 10 high with little, if any, difficulty and more is expected
given how options settled in its next session. The now expired Dec 10 contract traded as high as 157.23 on
the same day and that to should be taken out easily. Having spoken to various commercials and traders, mills are
buying only limited amounts of cotton and certainly not with the same interest
during October and early November.
Whether foreign mills are buying on-call meaning buy now, price later is
unknown but given how high prices are, it is fair to assume they are pricing
very little and based on their activity in October/early November, probably
buying options to protect their upside.
As of today's close and using open interest in the March options, there
are more than 87K calls in the money. As its peak, the Dec 10 had over 95K just
prior to its last trading day.
As to why there is so much
interest in buying the March, some commercials are nervous being short the
front month. Continued export
sales over the next few weeks will drop the available cotton to extremely low
levels and helps explain the widening inversion of March over May and
July. I remain suspect if
shipments will ultimately match projected USDA exports of 15.75 mln bales as
demand rationing reaches around the globe but that is of little consequence to
those in the front month for the moment.
My technician said in
regards to today's activity "Was that an exhaustion gap in March Cotton? It will take a few days to know." As a reminder this week is "3 up" and
another day or two of limit up may prove enough. I am attaching a cotton continuous monthly chart using the
close only with a Relative Strength Index study at the bottom. The nearly vertical move from the Jul
2010 close of 82.36 through today of 154.12 is an increase of187%. Starting from the low close of 46.47
that was made in Mar 09 through today, the chart shows an increase of
332%. Even more amazing is with 8
days left in the month, the RSI value is 91.8%. I looked at various commodities that had sustained a major move
over the past few years such as crude oil, sugar, silver, wheat, soybeans,
gold, and corn. I found only two
commodities with a higher RSI, sugar from Jan 06 and soybeans from Feb 08. As was the case in early November, the
cotton rally will end when it ends.
Attempting to peg a specific price high is an exercise in futility but
as Dave says, toward the end of this shortened week, the market may tell us its

Do us a favor, Al-Jazeera, keep her in Qatar, along with Al-Gore. We don't want either of these leftist dhimmis in America.
Politico Naomi Wolf, the author and activist, is in early-stage talks with the global news network Al Jazeera, POLITICO has learned. Wolf, who currently writes a column for The Guardian, confirmed the news late Thursday night but stressed that the talks were in the earliest stages and that no job offer was on the table. "It's extremely informal and very, very preliminary," she told POLITICO.
Wolf is in a non-exclusive employment with the Guardian and has written columns for Al Jazeera and other news outlets in the past. A spokesman with Al Jazeera did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the talks. Al Jazeera, a Qatari-owned news network, bought Current TV from Al Gore earlier this year in an effort to expand its reach in the American market. Al Jazeera plans to announce the launch of an American-based network, called Al Jazeera America, later this year and has set about on a hiring spree to bulk up American-based staff. Wolf would be its first high-profile hire.
Naomi Wolf was recently excoriated by Western critics for a piece she wrote in support of the hijab. In a Sydney Morning Herald article entitled "Behind the Veil Lives a Thriving Muslim Sexuality," Wolf muses over the true meaning of female liberation. In it, she promoted the Islamic view that that there is freedom in keeping sexuality vibrant but channeled within the marital relationship, and that the Islamic headscarf, "hijab," is actually liberating for many women. She recounted her travels to Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco, and her enlightening conversations with women in those countries.
To which Jamie Glazov of Frontpage Magazine responded with a piece called 'Why Naomi Wolf loves the burqa,"
The shameless phenomenon of Western leftist feminists abandoning millions of persecuted Muslim women under Islamic gender apartheid continues. Naomi Wolf has now come forward to say that she finds the Islamic chador sexy and supports its institutionalization throughout the Islamic world.
Never mind that Muslim women in most cases do not have a choice of whether or not to cover themselves, and face bodily harm and death if they do not veil. How much, one wonders, does Wolf care about Aqsa Parvez, a 16-year-old Muslim girl who was murdered by her father for refusing to wear the veil? Does Wolf think that honor murder is sexy too? Does it warm Wolf's heart that Aqsa's grave remains unmarked because her family is doing its best to erase all remnants of her 16-year existence on earth?
On the other hand, The Muslim Brotherhood English publication Ikhwanweb mostly sang the praises of this Jewess who holds the Muslim headbag in such high esteem.
The Brothers say, "Wolf's article is a welcome relief from the critiques of hijab that are more common in mainstream media, and contains thoughtful analysis that underscores her feminist views. It is also highly encouraging that a noted American feminist, who can reach such a large audience, has attempted to address hijab in an open and unbiased manner. Hopefully her attempt will serve as an example for many more Western thinkers."

There is only one way to describe this Pokemon species, and that is pure villain. I had to make a tutorial on "how to draw Mewtwo easy" because I know there is a lot of Mewtwo fans out there. I was also asked if I could make this lesson so because I haven't been around in an active manner lately, I just had to go ahead and get this drawing done ASAP. Mewtwo is another Pokemon figure that I grew up to watching and reading. It is supposed to be the evil counterpart to Mew, but knowing how Mew is so peaceful and pure, I could never believe that such a creature was created in Mew's image. I really did have a lot of fun with recreating such an oldie but goodie as far as Pokemon go. I think you fans out there will also enjoy drawing Mewtwo easy as well. Adios people and stay tuned in for more drawing fun!

Biography Updated on 12 November 2013

These are the only teams I have in my database (1888-1992) who had worse defensive SD scores than did Fulham last year.
Loosely translated, it's a measure of how much worse than the competition a team's defence was in any given season. So if, like last year, the average team conceded 53 goals and 1SD either side was 13, that means that the standard range was between 40 and 66. 15 of the 20 teams fell into this band. Chelsea were well below it, Everton and City were just below it, Cardiff were quite a bit above it and Fulham were well above it.
In 1963-64 the average team, playing 42 games remember, allowed 71 goals. The standard deviation here is 15, and so we're looking at a 'normal' range of 56 to 86. Only three teams were outside this range: Liverpool conceded 45, Birmingham conceded 92, Ipswich melted their way to 121 (having won the league two seasons previously!).
So we're looking at teams whose defences fall well outside the norm for the division that season. The big point here is that Fulham weren't just outside the norm, which is one standard deviation each side of the average, Fulham were 2.5 standard deviations outside the norm.
That puts them among the worst 1% of top division teams ever.
Having spoken at length on Monday about how Magath and co are being hard headed in rationalising spending, which I believe they absolutely are, I feel I need to re-stress the obvious: we are tearing last year's team apart because it was bad, historically bad, far worse than has generally been acknowledged.

Help is on the way for the Green Bay Packers' banged-up defense, and it can't come soon enough.
Coach Mike McCarthy said cornerback Al Harris and safety Atari Bigby are far enough along in their recovery from injuries to begin practicing on Wednesday, along with rookie running back James Starks.
Harris, Bigby and Starks began the season on the Packers' reserve/physically unable to perform list and are eligible to come off this week. Once the players begin practicing, the Packers have three weeks to decide whether to put them on the active roster.
"They can't do any more than they've done from a rehab standpoint," McCarthy said Monday. "So it's time to cut those guys loose. I know they're excited about it, and we're excited to get them on the practice field."
The Packers also beefed up their defense in a trade with Jacksonville to acquire safety Anthony Smith, a player Green Bay signed as a free agent in 2009 but cut before the season.
After losing back-to-back games in overtime, the Packers are preparing for a home game against Minnesota this weekend in dire need of reinforcements.
They were without eight starters because of injuries in Sunday's loss to Miami, including five on defense - and two of their defensive starters on Sunday, defensive end C.J. Wilson and safety Charlie Peprah, are third-stringers.
Beyond that, McCarthy said outside linebacker Brady Poppinga will have arthroscopic knee surgery and no timeline has been established for his return.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he was eager to see Harris and Bigby return, along with other injured players such as outside linebacker Clay Matthews, who sat out Sunday's game with a left hamstring injury.
"We're getting hopefully two studs back this week on defense, three if you count Clay," Rodgers said. "We need those guys back. We need to be at full force. No excuses, obviously."
And while McCarthy has received positive medical reports about Harris, Bigby and Starks - a sixth-round pick out of Buffalo who hurt his hamstring in offseason workouts and didn't play during his senior season because of a shoulder injury - he needs to see them in practice.
"When you're the head coach and you talk to players about injuries, they're always fine," McCarthy said. "They're always playing this week, and they're always good. And you appreciate that. But we'll find out about those guys Wednesday."
Harris is recovering from a season-ending left knee injury last November. Tramon Williams has played well after moving up from the Packers' No. 3 cornerback to fill in, but a healthy Harris would give the Packers three good, experienced cornerbacks.
Bigby's hard hits and big plays energized the defense during the 2007 season, but he has struggled with injuries since then. He skipped offseason workouts, hoping for a long-term contract, but showed up for training camp on time only to aggravate a left ankle injury. He needed surgery.
He was replaced by rookie Morgan Burnett, a third-round draft pick out of Georgia Tech, but Burnett tore his anterior cruciate ligament in a victory over Detroit earlier this month. Backup Derrick Martin also is on injured reserve with a knee injury.
It will be Smith's second stint in Green Bay. The Packers signed him as a free agent in 2009 but cut him before the start of the season, a move that was publicly criticized at the time by veteran cornerback Charles Woodson.
"Anthony has a history with us, has played in this defense, and we think he is a good fit," McCarthy said. "It will be great to have him back."

Risen 2 impressions thread
View Single Post
May 4th, 2012, 21:35
Like I wrote yesterday, I've completed the game twice now. The first character chose Inquisition and muskets, the 2nd chose natives and voodoo + melee. All in all, I have to say that the choice is really significant. There are quite a few quests that can be solved in different ways, which gives the game fairly high replay value.
Ending stats:
- Blades: 10
- Firearms: 2
- Toughness: 4
- Cunning: 8
- Voodoo: 10
As far as muskets vs voodoo goes, I'd say they're about equal, but depend primarily on playing style. Voodoo has a lot more utility than muskets - easy ways of making money (as explained above), easy ways of solving certain quests using voodoo dolls, a summonable ghost that can help you during certain solo sections, a mind control spell that can solve certain tricky fights in a rather smooth way and a bunch of potions that can boost your skills whenever you need it. Muskets on the other hand has.. well, crazy damage output and an overpowered companion.
The biggest issue of using voodoo is that a lot of nifty stuff is only useful/available late in the game, while muskets are very useful right away. Also, you can get the best musket in the game about halfway through the it without too much trouble if you know how to get it.
In fact, voodoo is balanced similar to how magic is always balanced in PB games - starts out slow, but gains power towards the end of the game.
Anyway, I still find Risen 2 highly enjoyable, and will play through it a third time before putting it away for now. I'll max out endurance this time and focus on intimidation more than persuasion (silver tongue). Should be interesting, though it might be somewhat easy now that I know where to find all legendary items and so on.
Edit: Oh, I spent almost 34 hours on the voodoo character, which is significantly longer than the musket one, despite knowing most locations and quests. Muskets are just that much faster, especially early on.

Yahoo Co-founder and CEO Jerry Yang has suggested Microsoft buying Yahoo would be "the best thing".
At the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, California, Yang said "To this day the best thing for Microsoft to do is buy Yahoo....I don't think that is a bad idea at all, at the right price whatever that price is. We're willing to sell the company."
Yahoo declined a bid from Microsoft for $33 (£21) a share from Microsoft back in May. Since then Yahoo shares have plummeted and Microsoft publicly stated it no longer had any interest in buying Yahoo.
Yang was questioned by one audience member regarding Yahoo's rejection of the Microsoft offer. "They walked away from a public offering and we were ready to negotiate. We wanted to negotiate a deal. We felt we weren't that far apart.
"At the end of the day, they withdrew and they have since been clear about not wanting to buy the company," explained Mr Yang.
Microsoft has not commented on Yangs latest revelations. If Microsoft were to buy Yahoo now they would get a good bargain compared to back in May. Since May the shares have dropped from $28.67 to $13.92 at the time of writing.

With the death of Eric Ericson on February 16, the world lost a true giant of choral training and discipline. Ericson's uncompromising and effectively 'new' view of choral sound had a huge impact on performance practice in Scandinavia and northern Europe, arguably paralleled only by the work of Barry Rose in the United Kingdom.
Ericson was born in Borás in south-eastern Sweden and studied at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and at the Schola Cantorum of Basel; he also took lessons in Britain, Germany and the United States. He quickly discovered that his ideas would best be realised through ensembles formed by his own hand; while still a student in 1945 he established the Stockholm Chamber Choir which would eventually, from 1988, carry his own name as the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir.
Ericson was also strongly associated with the Swedish Radio Choir – for many years the doyenne of vocal ensembles attached to broadcasting organisations – which he re-founded in collaboration with Sveriges Radio in 1951. He served as its principal conductor until 1982. For 40 years, from 1951 to 1991, Ericson conducted the male-voice Orphei Drängar ensemble in Uppsala. As his international career flourished from the late 1970s he worked with numerous ensembles including the Netherlands Chamber Choir, BBC Singers, RIAS Chamber Choir, Vienna State Opera Chorus and Laurence Equilbey's ensemble Accentus, with whom he made a rare guest-conducted recording of music from Finland on Naïve in 2001.
Had a profession been printed on Ericson's passport, it would surely have read 'choir trainer' rather than 'conductor'. His presence on stage always made itself felt, but his conducting technique was spare and focused in the extreme – increasingly so in old age. Directing his namesake choir with the dip of a finger or the shift of an eyebrow, his level of control, combined with physical stillness, could be staggering.
That only served to highlight the sonic qualities he strove to achieve – most notably a purity of sound gained through intense work on tonal blend and vowel control. He honed the Scandinavian tradition of choral lightness and cleanliness but combined it with the sort of reserved intensity characteristic of English choirs. In his ensembles, particularly the Swedish Radio Choir, he built a solid technique that brought with it dexterity and agility – allowing the devouring of repertoire from diverse periods.
Ericson soon became the chorus master of choice for a raft of high-level conductors including Claudio Abbado and Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Many would come to Sweden to work with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, knowing they'd get to collaborate with Ericson's radio choir by default in choral repertoire; often the choir would be invited to Berlin and Vienna to perform with the famous orchestras there, and it still is today.
Ericson was awarded the Nordic Council Music Prize in 1995 and the Polar Music Prize in 1997. His legacy – not least in community music – lives on in Sweden, where per-capita participation in choral singing is higher than in almost any other country on earth. And his name will live on, too: the principal conductorship of the Eric Ericson Chamber Choir passed to the late maestro's former assistant, the Swede Fredrik Malmberg, in 2012.

Cox to speak at Piedmont graduation
Georgia Secretary of State Cathy Cox will be the commencement speaker for Piedmont College's summer graduation ceremonies at 10 a.m. Aug. 4 in the Johnny Mize Athletic Center at the main campus in Demorest.
Piedmont President W. Ray Cleere and Chairman of the Board of Trustees Edward Ariail will confer degrees on some 239 graduates, including 60 students receiving bachelor of arts and science degrees and 179 receiving master's degrees.
Cox took office in 1999 as the first woman elected secretary of state in Georgia's history. She has an extensive background in law, journalism and public service, and before her election, she served three years as assistant secretary of state, directing the operations of the agency's five divisions. From 1993-96 Cox served in the Georgia House of Representatives, representing Miller, Seminole, Early and Decatur counties.
Local scouts head to national jamboree
Several Northeast Georgia Boy Scouts are gearing up for the Boy Scouts of American National Jamboree next week.
The jamboree is held every four years at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia, where scouts from across the country gather to participate in high adventure activities, such as ropes courses and kayaking, and to earn merit badges.
''There is so much going on that it is truly unbelievable for a young man to attend this event,'' said Tim Cooper, Northeast Georgia Area Council scouting executive.
The Northeast Georgia Area Council, which serves Boy Scout troops in 26 counties, will send 115 scouts and 10 adults to the event this year, Cooper said. Roughly 30,000 scouts from across the country are expected to be at the event this year, Cooper said.
The scouts will leave tonight by bus and tour Washington, D.C., before arriving at the 10-day jamboree. They plan to return home Aug. 2.

Sgt. Pablo Emilio Moncayo's family waited 11 years for Colombian rebels to decide to let their prisoner go. Then came an anxious year of waiting for it to actually happen.
Now that the guerrillas have freed two captive soldiers - the first such move in more than a year - it appears families of other Colombians still held hostage have only slim hopes of seeing any more releases soon.
Spending a dozen years as a prisoner, Moncayo was one of the longest-held hostages of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or the FARC. He was released Tuesday, two days after another fellow soldier, and flown by helicopter from an unannounced handover spot in southern Colombia to an emotional reunion with his family in the city of Florencia.
The leftist rebels still hold at least 20 police officers and soldiers, including Libio Jose Martinez, a sergeant who was captured in 1997 along with Moncayo during a guerrilla attack on a mountain outpost.
"Our hopes remain and we have to keep fighting," said Fanny Martinez, a cousin of the 33-year-old soldier.
The rebels sent a statement with the humanitarian team that picked up Moncayo in which FARC commander Alfonso Cano said: "With this unilateral gesture, the FARC considers the path cleared for the immediate exchange of prisoners of war."
But President Alvaro Uribe has opposed a swap of imprisoned rebels for hostages unless any guerrillas who are freed agree to abandon the FARC. Uribe has always insisted any rebels freed from Colombia's prisons as part of a prisoner swap be taken in by another country, such as France.
Uribe, who leaves office in August after two consecutive four-year terms, is hugely popular in Colombia for aggressively fighting the FARC and dealing it crushing blows, including the 2008 rescue of former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, three U.S. military contractors and 11 other captives.
Piedad Cordoba, an opposition senator who joined the International Red Cross on the mission to pick up Moncayo, has said the guerrillas insist that after freeing the two soldiers this week, they will now end their unilateral releases and press the government to negotiate a prisoner exchange.
But candidates in the May 30 election to choose Uribe's successor have shown little willingness to negotiate with the FARC, and violence has continued. A bombing blamed on the FARC last week killed nine people in the Pacific port of Buenaventura.
Considering that and other recent attacks, the FARC's message seems to be that "we have sufficient military capability to continue as an insurgent group, but at the same time we're open to the possibility of an eventual dialogue," said Sandra Borda, a political scientist at Los Andes University.
Uribe welcomed Moncayo's release and thanked Brazil - which provided a military helicopter for the mission - along with the Red Cross and the Roman Catholic Church for their cooperation.
"Colombia receives those who return from captivity with open arms and rejects the kidnappers with the greatest strength," Uribe said in a statement.
Moncayo's father, high school teacher Gustavo Moncayo, gained fame walking halfway across Colombia in 2007 to rally support for his son's release, wearing chains around his neck and wrists like those used at times by the rebels to bind their prisoners.
The leftist FARC, the Western Hemisphere's last remaining major rebel army, has fought for nearly a half-century trying to topple a succession of governments.
Estimates vary as to how many Colombian hostages remain in captivity.
The National Fund for Personal Freedom says there are 77 hostages in the country, including those held by the FARC, common criminals and a smaller rebel group, the National Liberation Army.
Some groups say there are more captives. The non-governmental organization Pais Libre says there are at least 136 people held hostage in Colombia.
Associated Press Writer Luisa Fernanda Cuellar in Bogota contributed to this report.

Lowrie not ruling out playing on Opening Day
Lowrie not ruling out playing on Opening Day
"I felt great today," he said. "It's another step in the right direction, so I'm encouraged. It's just one of those things that you just continue to go down that road and continue to progress."
Lowrie sprained the thumb eight days ago and hasn't played since. The Astros are debating whether to put him on the disabled list to start the season and activate Brian Bixler or keep Lowrie on the active roster with hopes he can play this weekend.
"I don't want to count it out," Lowrie said. "I want to wake [Friday] and see how it feels. They want to see me do a few things before they give it the OK and I'm in the same boat. I need to get into a few rounds of batting practice. Let's just take steps forward every day."
Astros manager Brad Mills said he's made out his lineup for Friday's game with Lowrie being ready to play.
"With as much as it has improved these last couple of days, there's definitely a real good chance," he said.
If Lowrie can't play, rookie Marwin Gonzalez, a Rule 5 Draft pick, will start at shortstop.

Re: moving mods.d
I've finally got gnomesword2-2.0.0 up and running, but without the commentaries, bible and dictionaries.:
if I do the following command:
$ gnomesword2 the program loads without the modules.
If I use this command:
$ cd /home/name/Dls/gnomesword2-2.0.0 and then
$gnomesword2 it loads the modules and everything is fine.
My question:
How do I move "mods.d" from /gnomesword2-2.0.0 too /usr/share/sword I've tried everything and it doesn't work.
God Bless

Re: moving mods.d
Yeah, I've got a similar problem
I installed GS on my Ubuntu sys and then added other user accounts. They don't have the new modules I downloaded.
Plus the update manager won't find them in my filesystem.
I would have to download them again, as it now stands--and I have 28k dialup!
I guess I will go under the hood again.....

Re: moving mods.d
I installed GS on my Ubuntu sys and then added other user accounts. They don't have the new modules I downloaded.
GS' install manager (which just uses sword's installmgr under the hood) puts newly-downloaded items in ~/.sword. Simply move them to /usr/share/sword (or wherever /etc/sword.conf indicates) and everyone on the system should be able to find them.
Alternatively, symlink /usr/share/sword/mods.d to ~/.sword/mods.d and /usr/share/sword/modules to ~/.sword/modules, and you'll get the same effect.
Be careful to set open-readable perms, of course.

South Park is an American adult animated sitcom created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone for the Comedy Central television network. Intended for mature audiences, the show has become famous for its crude language and dark, surreal humor that lampoons a wide range of topics. The ongoing narrative revolves around four boys—Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick—and their bizarre adventures in and around the titular Colorado town.
Parker and Stone developed the show from two animated shorts they created in 1992 and 1995. The latter became one of the first Internet viral videos, which ultimately led to its production as a series. South Park debuted in August 1997 with great success, consistently earning the highest ratings of any basic cable program. Subsequent ratings have varied but it remains one of Comedy Central's highest rated shows, and is slated to air through at least 2016.
The pilot episode was produced using cutout animation. All subsequent episodes are created with software that emulates the cutout technique. Parker and Stone perform most of the voice acting. Since 2000, each episode is typically written and produced during the week preceding its broadcast, with Parker serving as the primary writer and director.
The series has received numerous accolades, including four Primetime Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award, and numerous inclusions in various publications' lists of greatest television shows. The show's popularity resulted in a feature-length theatrical film, South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut which was released in June 1999, less than two years after the show's premiere, and became a commercial and critical success.
The show follows the exploits of four boys, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick. The boys live in the fictional small town of South Park, located within the real life South Park basin in the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado.The town is also home to an assortment of frequent characters such as students, families, elementary school staff, and other various residents, who tend to regard South Park as a bland and quiet place to live. Prominent settings on the show include the local elementary school, bus stop, various neighborhoods and the surrounding snowy landscape, actual Colorado landmarks, and the shops and businesses along the town's main street, all of which are based on the appearance of similar locations in the town of Fairplay, Colorado.The film was created by animating construction paper cutouts with stop motion, and features prototypes of the main characters of South Park, including a character resembling Cartman but named "Kenny", an unnamed character resembling what is today Kenny, and two near-identical unnamed characters who resemble Stan and Kyle. Brian Graden, Fox network executive and mutual friend, commissioned Parker and Stone to create a second short film as a video Christmas card. Created in 1995, the second The Spirit of Christmas short resembled the style of the later series more closely.To differentiate between the two homonymous shorts, the first short is often referred to as Jesus vs. Frosty, and the second short as Jesus vs. Santa.

With the departure of perennial Pro Bowl cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha via free agency, seventh-year cornerback Stanford Routt finds himself thrust into the spotlight. He already was under scrutiny for receiving a contract that guaranteed him $20 million over the next two seasons. Now that he's out from Asomugha's shadow, he figures to receive even more attention, from opposing quarterbacks, as well as fans and media. By all accounts, Routt has what it takes to withstand whatever comes his way, in part from learning under Asomugha the past six seasons.
Routt is faster than Asomugha, and he has experience playing against some of the league's top receivers. Only this year, he should see a top-tier receiver on just about every down. Routt was credited with being the third-best cornerback last season in terms of passes completed against him — tied with Asomugha, of all people.
He is confident, works hard and studies opposing receivers in much the same way that Asomugha did for so long.
Notes: Rookie quarterback Terrelle Pryor has begun serving his five-game suspension for violations committed in college. He isn't allowed to participate in practice but he can work out at the team's year-round facility and attend meetings. On Monday, he worked on taking the snap from center, dropping back, his footwork and throwing passes, under the watchful eye of a coach brought in from the outside. Pryor reportedly is going to appeal his suspension. When asked about it Monday, he said he has been ordered by coach Hue Jackson not to speak with the media. He is eligible to return to full-team activities in Week 6.

David S. Lopez, the head of Harris County's public hospital system, was in Dallas talking to the Parkland hospital board about the CEO's job here, said an anonymous tipster to the Houston Chronicle. Lopez could not be reached for comment at the time.
Today, I called his office in Houston and was told that any announcement would be left up to Parkland.
"Does that mean he's a candidate or that he came to Dallas to see about the job?" I asked John Martinez, his spokesman.
Martinez wouldn't answer directly about Lopez's possible interest in the Dallas job. "He's deferring everything to Parkland and their processes," Martinez said, while promising to check with Lopez to see if he wanted to talk.
About an hour later, Martinez called me back. This time, he said: "We called his office. We're referring any calls related to that back to Parkland."
It didn't sound like an outright denial to me.
Parkland spokesman Mike Malaise would not comment today on the CEO selection process or Lopez specifically. "Nothing has changed since the last time we talked about this," he said by e-mail. "So everything we discussed at that time still stands now."
In December, Malaise reiterated that the county hospital's board of managers invited six anonymous hospital leaders to meet with them last month about their possible interest in the long-vacant CEO job. Board chairwoman Debbie Branson had said even she did not know their race or ethnicity at the time they were invited to come here.
The group of six was promised complete anonymity, according to the hospital, because they would not become actual candidates unless any of them decided to apply for the job. So far, there has been nothing official on this selection process, other than Branson saying she hoped the board would offer the job to someone in January.
Picking a new Parkland CEO has become very hush-hush since the hospital board invited four previous candidates to meet with Dallas community groups more than a year ago. That foursome was identified and backgrounded. They shook everybody's hands and answered questions from anyone who got a chance to meet them. It was refreshingly open.
However, their job prospects ended without explanation, leaving Parkland without a top administrator for a second straight year. If you recall, Dr. Ron Anderson stepped down in December 2011, after the board refused to renew his contract. Dallas County's lone public hospital was embroiled in regulatory problems at the time, which threatened its federal funding. Things have eased since then.
But everything has been mum about this second group, until the surfacing of Lopez's name before Christmas.
Here's a little background on Lopez:
-- He became permanent president and CEO of the Harris County Hospital District in April 2004 after nearly a year as interim president and CEO.
-- The Harris County Hospital District serves more than a million patient visits annually through its network of three hospitals, 12 neighborhood health centers, 13 homeless shelter clinics, six school-based clinics and four mobile health units.
-- Lopez describes himself as an optimist, even when he's feeling heat about changes to his health care system. Most recently, he oversaw a regional effort to divide up future Medicaid funds for hospitals providing charity care in the Houston area, according to the Houston Chronicle.
-- Lopez read the 2,000-page Affordable Care Act, which took him four months, according to a story on CultureMap Houston, an online publication.
-- While he works out daily, Lopez also enjoys a daily Dr Pepper, usually accompanied by nachos.
-- Following his graduation from Trinity University in San Antonio in 1975, Lopez amassed an extensive resume in Texas health care. Here's a rundown of what he's done, taken from the Harris County Hospital District Foundation's website:
July 2000 - April 2004: Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for the Harris County Hospital District
September 1998 - June 2000: Senior Executive Director of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, Texas
October 1996 - September 1998: Consultant with Healthcare Services in Corpus Christi, Texas
September 1989 - June 1991: CEO of Medical Center Hospital in Odessa, Texas
November 1984 - August 1989: Associate Administrator of Santa Rosa Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas
September 1978 - May 1980: Executive Director of Atascosa Health Clinic in Pleasanton, Texas
November 1977 - 1978: Health Planner in West Texas Health Systems Agency in El Paso, Texas

This is from a large herbivore. It is interesting because it appears to have a stylid, the small ridge running between the two larger parts of the tooth. There is much discussion in North America about the stylid, some suggesting it is a good way to separate Bison and modern cattle teeth, other sying that young cattle can also have a stylid. Here is one such dicussion
As you follow the discussion it does show examples of cow teeth with a stylid so I think that is what I would go with.
Thank you John. it was bugging me because of the ridge and its likeness to Bison.
An evolutionary trait coming throuh into todays cattle is just as intriguing. thanks

BUENOS AIRES, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Argentina said on Tuesday its tax revenue jumped 27.2 percent in November from the same month a year earlier to 129.489 billion pesos ($13.367 billion).
The figure came in slightly below the median forecast of 131.369 billion pesos in a Reuters poll of analysts.
Private economists estimate Argentina's inflation rate is around 25 percent which would mean the increase in tax revenue is largely explainable by consumer price increase.

Three Cazenovia School District parents are making a difference in South Sudan this week.
Dave Reed, David Chanatry and Bruce Strong flew to Africa last week to bring new medical training and technology to the region and report on the situation there.
"My prime mission is a follow-up to a trip I made in December, and will be focusing on the hand delivery and then in the training of local staff in the use of two laptop size battery powered ultrasound machines," said Reed, who is a medical director in the village of Duk Payel.
The machines were donated by Sonosite, and are valued at about $20,000. The most important role of the machines will be the early detection of problems in late pregnancy; South Sudan has the highest maternal death rate in the world.
"Since we have no surgical capability at our clinic, to be able to detect an abnormal position of the baby in the week prior to delivery can be helpful in evacuating the mother to a place where surgical intervention is possible if needed," Reed said.
Chanatry is a professor of journalism at Utica College, and Bruce Strong is at the Newhouse school at Syracuse University. Both will be writing about the situation in South Sudan.
The second ultrasound machine will be taken to Jill Seaman, a world expert in the second most common parasitic killer in the world, leishmaniasis, and the recipient of a John D. MacArthur genius award in September.
Seaman has a clinic in Old Fangak, and has been helpful to Reed in his work.
"Jill is a personal mentor for me, and a mentor for the clinic in how to do the best practices with few resources in remote settings," Reed said. "Our mutual goals are in training and empowering local African staff to provide the best possible medical care to an area where there is no functional health care infrastructure as of yet, where families carry their child or parent as much as 12 hours through the bush for any hope of care."
Much has been achieved at the Duk Lost Boys Clinic.
Doctors have facilitated the large-scale distribution of treated malaria nets, preventing a disease that can kill two of five children before their fifth birthday. They have brought the capability to immunize children for the most common diseases that kill aggressively in Africa. They have also set up a blood bank and HIV and tuberculosis testing.
The three fathers scheduled their 9-day trip to return in time for this weekend's high school musical, "Annie Get Your Gun." Chanatry's daughter, Hannah, has a significant role in the show.

I need to begin the review of this new and wonderful novel of
suspense by reiterating an absolute truth: I hate camping. My idea
of roughing it is a room at the Embassy Suites that does not have
Fox News Channel among the television selections. A "nature walk"
is the strip of grass between a parking lot and any building. Using
a 12-gauge Mossburg to kill a spider is not an overreaction. Get
the idea?
Now let's turn to IN THE FOREST OF HARM, which is about, among
other things, a camping trip. This bad boy is Sallie Bissell's
first published novel. I trust that it won't be her last. Most of
the novel takes place in the deep woods of North Carolina, where
angels and soft livers fear to tread. Little Jump Off, North
Carolina, on the edge of the Nantahala National Forest, is the
childhood home of Mary Crow. Her memories of the place are, at
best, bittersweet. While she holds a fondness for the beauty of the
area, it is also the place where her mother was raped and murdered
by an unknown assailant. Crow feels at least partially responsible
for her mother's brutal death. She has taken that guilt and
channeled it into a career as a tough Georgia prosecutor.
IN THE FOREST OF HARM opens with Crow having prosecuted and
convicted Cal Whitman for the murder of a young woman. Crow and two
friends, Alexandra McCrimmon and Joan Marchetti, take a weekend
vacation back to Little Jump Off following the trial. While the
trip is a chance for McCrimmon and Marchetti to take a break from
their careers, for Crow it is not only a well-deserved break but an
opportunity to exorcise the demons of her memory. What the women do
not anticipate, however, is that Cal Whitman's brother, Mitch, is
following their every move.
Mitch was humiliated on the witness stand by Crow during Cal's
trial but he has something more than revenge for the embarrassment
in mind. Mitch is afraid that Crow is going to uncover some
additional facts that he would prefer stay buried --- and he plans
to bury Crow and her friends with them. Mitch Whitman is not the
only danger in the forest; there is a deranged homicidal drifter
hiding amidst the unspoiled wilderness. By turns cunning and
hallucinating, Henry Brank has stalked the woods for years, taking
victims at his whim. When he finds Crow and her friends at their
campground, he has no doubt as to who his next victims will
IN THE FOREST OF HARM, while ending satisfactorily, leaves just
enough unsettled issues at its conclusion to leave the reader
yearning for more of Crow and Bissell. My understanding is that
both yearnings will be satisfied.

In my own case, for the first time in the five years of operating the AHS 130 I have been completely free of puff backs for the entire season. The big change I made this year was reducing the thermo grate setting so that I also now see glowing coals even a significant time after the last fan operation. The other change for this season was a new load of coal (something I get every year) and until I have a couple more seasons with new loads of coal I have to note that a different coal supply might be affecting my results.
My draft drops as low as .02 on warmer days when the unit has not fired for some time and my own experience with puff backs has been that they occur at the end of a firing cycle--when draft tends to be highest--so I am skeptical that the draft inducer is making the difference for your friend.
It would be interesting if your friend was willing to experiment--try turning the draft inducer off and see if it brings the booms back--try removing the paper clip and see if the booms return.
Freddy wrote:Good day. My buddy with the AHS130 is in his 4th year. This year he has had more puff backs than ever. The obvious reason is a change of coal. He is still using Kimmel Pea size, but it is a different truckload this year. Obviously it has different characteristics. The first 3 years he would have a subtle boom on rare occasion. This year he has been troubled with heftier puff backs on a regular basis. I'm writing now as he has finally made changes that have made a huge difference. Hopefully a total and forever difference.
Big change #1: He installed a draft inducer with a rheostat. He now has "dial a draft". He wired it so it only runs while the fan is running and maintains a draft of .04. That made a good change, but still he had some minor puff backs.
Big change #2: He finally figured out how to set the Fugi control. The factory found the manual & emailed it to me. Come to find out the control was locked. Attached is the Fugi user manual. On page 19 you'll find the Lock system. Even following the manual it's tricky to un lock it, but we finally got it and then changed the ash temps. Before the asher came on at 130 and shut off at 140. Now it comes on at 125 and shuts off at 130. If any of you have the Fugi control and have trouble let me know & I'll be glad to try & help. Basically he set it at a low of 120, a high of 150, a Hysteresis of 5 and then told it to shut off at 130. It's odd how the "150" remains in the equation, but that's how it likes it. The very last hing you do is tell it the temp you want it to shut off at. His asher is allowed to run whenever it wants. I understand some people have wired it so the asher only runs while the fan is running. If he ever has another boom, this will be changed.
Change #3. He added a thick paper-clip to the bottom of the flapper door.
At this point he has been boom free for four days. Hopefully his issues are a thing of the past & hopefully this info can help others.

In response to the letter in the March 11 A-J entitled "Schools err to bar prayer except in tragedies." The letter writer stated "educational institutions ... have been very active in removing prayer and all reference to God in all activities." This is inaccurate on a few points.
First, educational institutions have not made this decision; the U.S. Supreme Court has consistently ruled in favor of the principal of separation of church and state. As taxpayer-funded institutions, schools must of course abide by these rulings. Failure to do so would open them to charges of bias and discrimination, which would undoubtedly lead to lawsuits.
Second, neither schools nor the U.S. Supreme Court have removed prayer from schools. We have indeed removed any forced or led prayer, but students and staff remain free to pray during their time at school, provided they are not interrupting classroom functions. For example, a student may say Grace at lunch, pray between classes or silently before a test, and meet with others for such religious services before or after class.
Perhaps the writer would encourage parents to involve religion and faith in their children's lives, rather than have the state do this. The family and church are much better at teaching matters of faith to children than schools could, or should, ever be.
