Athenaeum Lectures
The Athenaeum offers several different series of lectures. The oldest is the LeBlond Lecture series. Leblond Lectures have been given for more than 50 years. At present they occur annually or biennially and can address any theological topic.
The other lecture series offered by the Athenaeum have been established more recently. The Gardner Lecture in Moral Theology was established by a gift given to the Our Faith, Our Future capital campaign (1994-96) by Mr. and Mrs. James J. Gardner. The Gardner Lecture is given biennially on some topic in moral theology.
The Marzheuser Lecture on Jewish-Catholic Relations was established in memory of the Rev. Richard A. Marzheuser alumnus, faculty member and dean of Mount St. Mary's Seminary, who died in 2000. In the last years of his life, one of his main concerns was fostering improved relations between Catholics and Jews. The Marzheuser Lecture is given biennially on a topic related to Jewish-Catholic relations.
The George C. Findley Memorial Lecture was established in 2004. For almost 15 years George Findley was director of the Office of African-American Catholic Ministries of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. In that capacity he worked closely with the Athenaeum on a number of projects over the years. For that reason the Athenaeum established this lecture series in his memory. The purpose of this lecture series is to explore the relationship of African-Americans and other culturally distinctive groups to the Catholic Church. The Findley lecture is given annually or biennially.

My mom, (who some of you readers may be used to by now), is an extremely different kind of person. Eccentric to some. Funny to others. Irritating to me. And the word, "manipulative" doesn't even begin to describe her ways. Sometimes though, I feel as though I'm the only one in the world who realizes this. Like I'm turning into Chief Inspector Dreyfus, while she pushes forth as Inspector Clouseau...and I'll be the one placed in solitary confinement twitching my eye in a sanitarium for the criminally insane somewhere.
Take this birthday card. Seems like a simple, (albeit completely plain), normal birthday card. Only problem is, I received it THREE WEEKS AGO and my birthday is on Christmas Day. That's over a month and a half too soon...!
Now listen. I'm not being over-sensitive here. If you receive a birthday card early, the sender usually prefaces it with that recognition. "I'll be out of town for a long time...didn't want to miss your birthday." Or..."Came across this cool card-know it's early, but it reminded me of you." Or that ol' standard...,
"I'm friggin' out of my gourd and just had to get this card to you today because I could be dead by tomorrow" rationale, right?
Don't you get it?
Here's what I think: She feels like she won't BE HERE by December 25th to wish me happy birthday. Poof. Gone. So she HAS TO send me a birthday card this early. Either that, or she wants to be the very first one to recognize my special day.
Is this ok or am I nuts? Normal people send cards ON (or right around) special occasions, yes?
Anyway, here it is. You be the judge.
And Happy Valentine's Day!

While opinions issued from the Kansas Attorney General's office do not carry the same weight as law, they suffice for guidance until legal precedent is established.
With that in mind, it will be interested to see how Attorney General Derek Schmidt rules regarding the issue of guns on Election Day. He has been asked whether voting Kansans are allowed to enter polling places with their properly permitted concealed-carry weapon.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach requested the opinion, citing "some ambiguity in the law" concerning the temporary polling places that get set up. Concealed carry now is allowed in most government-owned buildings unless elaborate security systems are put in place that would prevent all weapons from getting inside. That law doesn't have an exception for election days.
But for most elections, additional facilities temporarily are utilized both to expedite the process and increase convenience for voters. Churches, libraries, universities and charity organizations come to mind -- sites where concealed weapons usually aren't allowed.
"We've invited the attorney general to weigh in before we issue any guidance to the counties," Kobach said.
It is not difficult to predict how the attorney general will rule. State laws governing the conduct of elections already apply to every polling place the county election officer designates. Examples abound.
For instance, solicitation of contributions within 250 from the entrance of a polling place while the polls are open is considered disorderly election conduct -- a class B misdemeanor -- no matter where that polling place is located. Intimidating, threatening or coercing a voter to cast their ballot for a particular candidate or issue is a severity level 7 nonperson felony regardless of where it takes place.
A university might be considered a bastion of free speech, but it gets curtailed when people are there to vote. It is a class C misdemeanor to wear a sticker or carry a sign that clearly identifies a candidate within a radius of 250 feet from the entrance to the polling place. A church might enjoy the right to peacefully assemble, yet only can stand within 3 feet of any table being used by an election board if given permission by the supervising judge.
Clearly, election laws already apply at all polling places -- whether public or private facilities. We would guess guns, at least concealed carry weapons, are about to become part of the election day routine.
The interesting question is whether all the temporary locations are willing to allow weapons on their premises for voting when they normally would not. These sites could decide the risks aren't worth it, and simply decide not to allow polling places to be established.
Alternatively, site managers could decide the risk is worth it -- if the county election office is willing to pay significantly more for the infrequent leases.
Either way, county officers might be scrambling in advance of the next election. The sooner they receive clarification on the latest unintended consequence of the Legislature's action, the better.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska — A 79-year-old man whose Alaska residency is in dispute has been charged with 32 hunting infractions.
Alaska Wildlife Troopers say LeRoy Gerner for five years has obtained and used Alaska resident hunting licenses while maintaining residency in Pennsylvania.
Gerner splits his time between Butler and Alaska. The investigation began last month after he shot a bull moose near his summer home in Eureka.
State records indicate Gerner since 2009 has received a Pennsylvania homestead tax exemption, which is available only to residents for their primary home.
Troopers say Gerner's driver's license and passport indicate he's a Pennsylvania resident.
Gerner was scheduled for arraignment Friday, but he reportedly did not appear and a $250 warrant was issued for his arrest.

Ahn Hyo Seop had a memorable experience on SBS's "Running Man."
On November 4, the actor made his first-ever appearance on the show. Ahn Hyo Seop walked in dressed up as Dracula right when the "Running Man" members were expressing annoyance at their own dramatic costumes and makeup. The cast had some fun at the actor's expense and he naively walked right into their fun trap.
They commented that the actor's costume was weak and aired their complaints. When Ji Suk Jin said that Ahn Hyo Seop was an ambitious person, he waved both of his hands and denied this.
Ahn Hyo Seop then kept laughing when Seo Young Hee appeared. Seeing this, Yoo Jae Suk asked him why he kept laughing. The actor confessed, "My agency told me to laugh a lot when I come on the show." Ji Suk Jin also made everyone laugh by saying, "I'm getting a lot of criticism these days, so please zoom in on this shot," and wiped away Ahn Hyo Seop's sweat.
The cast prepared to play the first game where they could receive a hint about the "ghost" and guessed that even if there was one "ghost," they may have a few assistants. When Ahn Hyo Seop asked, "Are there three ghosts?" the members became suspicious of him and asked, "How do you know there are three ghosts?"
When it was time for Jun So Min to choose a male partner for the day, Ahn Hyo Seop was left flustered again.
The actress pondered over her choices. "I'm thinking hard about who I should choose," she said. Yoo Jae Suk commented, "If Ahn Hyo Seop doesn't get chosen, then wow. But why is Jun So Min's face getting so red?" Ji Suk Jin added, "We're not telling you to date [the person you choose]."
Jun So Min couldn't come to a decision and suggested rock paper scissors. When Kim Jong Kook ended up becoming her partner, Yoo Jae Suk teased, "Ahn Hyo Seop needs to think about this too. This is the first time where a male guest wasn't chosen."
Jun So Min jokingly added, "I planned this. I'm the first woman who didn't choose you," and Ahn Hyo Seop began sweating buckets out of nervousness.Redirect me

As if it isn't already hard enough to get a job.
Over the past few decades, sizeism in the workplace has increased by 66 percent and it affects women more than men.
Sizeism is the discrimination of people due to their size.
It's "comparable to rates of racial discrimination" in the workplace, says a study conducted by Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.
"It results in inequitable hiring practices, prejudice from employers, lower wages, discriminatory action and wrongful termination," Rebecca Puhl, director of research at Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, says in the study.
According to Trust For America's Health, more than 68 percent of American adults are either overweight or obese, and the common stigma associated with people who battle with their weight is that they're "lazy, unmotivated, lacking in self-discipline, less competent, noncompliant, and sloppy."
For the ones who are able to pass the hiring process, they are sometimes given less desirable positions solely because of their appearance, or receive lower pay than those who aren't considered overweight. The study found that women who were considered a little heavier have salaries approximately 6.2 percent lower than those who weren't, whereas the difference in salary for men is around 2.3 percent.
"The further you are from the societal ideal of beauty, the discrimination you face is exponentially harder," says Sondra Solovay, an attorney and author of " Tipping the Scales of Justice."
Currently, Michigan is the only state that explicitly bars discrimination based on weight, although cities such as Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Calif., Binghamton, N.Y., Urbana, Ill., and Madison, Wis. also legally protect workers from discrimination based on their weight.
In other states, the bias is included under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is enforced by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, but is not specifically mentioned in the law.

European Commission
Brussels, 5 July 2012
Commission Delegated Regulation on Short Selling and Credit Default Swaps - Frequently asked questions
What is short selling?
Short selling is the sale of a security that the seller does not own, although the seller will subsequently need to buy the security in order to be able to deliver the security to the buyer. Short selling can be divided into two types:
1."Covered" short selling is where the seller has borrowed the securities, or made arrangements to ensure they can be borrowed, before the short sale.
2."Naked" or "uncovered" short selling is where the seller has not borrowed the securities at the time of the short sale, or ensured they can be borrowed.
What is a Credit Default Swap?
A sovereign Credit Default Swap (CDS) is a derivative in which the seller of the CDS agrees to compensate the buyer in the event of a default of the referenced sovereign in return for an annual premium. It can be regarded as a form of insurance against the credit risk of the default of a sovereign.
In addition to short selling on cash markets, a net short position can also be achieved by the use of derivatives, including Credit Default Swaps (CDS). For example, if an investor buys a CDS without being exposed to the credit risk of the underlying bond issuer (a so-called "naked CDS"), the investor will gain from, rising credit risk or the default of the bond issuer. This is economically equivalent to short selling the underlying bond.
Why has the Commission adopted a Delegated Regulation on short selling and CDS, and how does this relate to the Short Selling Regulation?
The Commission is empowered by the Short Selling Regulation1 to adopt delegated acts by 31 March 2012 (which can be extended by 6 months) specifying certain technical elements of the Regulation, to ensure its consistent application and to facilitate its enforcement. The technical issues to be addressed in these delegated acts are set out in the Regulation and are explained further below.
What is the procedure for adopting this Delegated Regulation?
The Delegated Regulation is a delegated act of the European Commission. This is an autonomous act of the Commission which is drafted and adopted by the Commission. While the Commission has requested and taken into account the technical advice of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on the technical issues covered by this delegated act, the Commission is not bound in any way by this advice. Prior to issuing its final technical advice, ESMA consulted stakeholders on draft technical advice. The Commission has also prepared an impact assessment accompanying the Delegated Regulation which considers the impacts of the different options, as well as the technical advice of ESMA and the views of stakeholders. In its preparatory work the Commission has also consulted the expert group of the European Securities Committee, the European Parliament, and the European Central Bank. Following adoption by the Commission, this Delegated Regulation is subject to a three month objection period during which either the European Parliament or the Council can object to the Delegated Regulation; this period can be extended by a further three months. If neither of the co-legislators objects during this period, the Delegated Regulation is published in the Official Journal and enters into force. Provided that the co-legislators do not exercise their right to object, the Delegated Regulation is therefore expected to be published in the Official Journal by mid-October and to enter into force on 1 November 2012, the date of application of the Short Selling Regulation.
What are the objectives of the delegated regulation?
The objectives of the Short Selling Regulation are to:
The Delegated Regulation specifies certain technical elements of the Short Selling Regulation in order to ensure consistent compliance by market participants and enforcement by competent authorities. The objectives of the Delegated Regulation are to ensure that:
What are the key issues addressed by the Delegated Regulation?
The delegated regulation specifies:
In what cases will a buyer of sovereign CDS be deemed covered and therefore not subject to the ban on uncovered sovereign CDS?
The Short Selling Regulation prohibits persons from entering into uncovered sovereign CDS transactions, but covered sovereign CDS may still be legitimately taken out to hedge exposures to certain assets or liabilities. The Commission has specified in the delegated Regulation which cases constitute covered sovereign CDS.
The Delegated Regulation therefore specifies in some detail the cases which constitute a legitimate covered sovereign CDS. Firstly, the hedged assets and liabilities must be of a certain defined types. Secondly, the exposure should not exceed the value of the hedging CDS when it is entered into. Thirdly, the assets and liabilities must at least be meaningfully correlated with the sovereign CDS, and this correlation must be demonstrated through either a quantitative or a qualitative test (see below). Finally, although cross border hedging – using the CDS referencing one Member State to hedge against exposures in another Member State - is not permitted by the Short Selling Regulation, certain tight and specific provisions are specified in the Delegated Regulation governing the hedging of multinational exposures.
How will a sovereign CDS position holder have to demonstrate correlation?
The holder of a covered sovereign CDS can demonstrate correlation between the hedged assets and liabilities and the sovereign CDS by meeting either of the two correlation tests set out in the Delegated Regulation. Firstly, under the "quantitative" test, when a correlation co-efficient of at least 70% is shown based on certain specified data and methods, then the correlation test will be met. Secondly, the "qualitative" test is that there should be a meaningful correlation between the hedged exposure and the sovereign CDS. This calculation should be based on appropriate data and not show evidence of a merely temporary dependence. Finally, certain hedged exposures may be deemed to meet the correlation test per se – for example, hedging regional government exposures using the sovereign CDS of the relevant state will be automatically deemed to meet the correlation test, without the need to perform either the qualitative or quantitative tests. The holder will need to demonstrate to their supervisors how the test was met if required.
How does the Delegated Regulation promote transparency in short selling of shares?
The Short Selling Regulation requires significant short positions in shares to be notified to regulators at one threshold (0.1% of issued share capital), and disclosed to the public at a higher threshold (0.5%). The Delegated Regulation sets out the technical details of how to calculate those net short positions, including how net short positions should be calculated by different funds managed by the same fund manager, or by different entities within a group company.
How does the Delegated Regulation promote transparency in short selling of sovereign debt?
The Short Selling Regulation requires significant short positions in sovereign debt to be notified to national regulators, but does not set the thresholds for such reporting, leaving these to be specified in a delegated act. The Delegated Regulation therefore sets out the notification thresholds for significant short positions in sovereign issuers. In light of the technical advice of ESMA, the Delegated Regulation proposes two categories of thresholds: a threshold of 0.1% of issued sovereign debt where the total amount of the outstanding issued sovereign debt is between 0 and 500 billion euro; and a threshold of 0.5% where the total amount of the outstanding issued sovereign debt is above 500 billion euro or where there is a liquid futures market for the particular sovereign debt. The additional notification thresholds above those initial levels will be 0.05% (starting at 0.15%) and 0.25% (starting at 0.75%) respectively. Each issuer of sovereign debt in the EU will therefore fall into one or the other reporting category. It should be noted that sovereign issuers as defined in the Short Selling Regulation include the German Länder and EU issuers such as the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF), the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) as well as the 27 EU Member States.
The Delegated Regulation also details how net short positions in sovereign debt are to be calculated, including where there is a long position in sovereign debt of another sovereign issuer which is highly correlated with a given sovereign debt. The Delegated Regulation specifies that a high correlation means a correlation of 80%.
In what circumstances can Member States suspend the restrictions on uncovered short selling of sovereign debt?
The Short Selling Regulation sets out certain restrictions on uncovered short sales of sovereign debt, in order to reduce the risks of settlement failure. To enter a short sale, an investor must have borrowed the sovereign debt, entered into an agreement to borrow it, or have an arrangement with a third party under which that third party has confirmed that the sovereign debt has been located or has otherwise reasonable expectation that settlement can be effected when it is due. The restrictions do not apply if the transaction serves to hedge a long position in debt instruments of an issuer, the pricing of which has a high correlation with the pricing of the given sovereign debt. The Delegated Regulation specifies that "high correlation" means a correlation of 80%.
In addition, Short Selling Regulation empowers competent authorities to temporarily (for 6 months, renewable) suspend these restrictions where the liquidity of the sovereign debt falls below a pre-determined threshold, to be set by the Commission in a delegated act. This Delegated Regulation therefore sets the threshold for the significant decline in liquidity necessary for this temporary suspension power to be triggered. The Delegated Regulation specifies that such a temporary suspension may be triggered when the turnover in the sovereign debt concerned in a given month falls below the fifth percentile of the monthly volume traded in the previous twelve months. Before exercising the power, regulators are required to check that this significant drop in liquidity is not due to seasonal effects on liquidity (i.e. declines in liquidity usually observed in August or December).
What are the thresholds which may trigger a short term suspension of short selling of illiquid shares and other financial instruments?
The Short Selling Regulation gives national regulators the power, in the case of a significant fall in the price of a financial instrument on a trading venue in a single day, to impose a restriction on short selling of the financial instrument until the end of the next trading day. If despite the measure there is a further significant fall in value of the financial instrument, the regulator may extend the measure for up to a further two trading days. The Short Selling Regulation sets a threshold of 10% for liquid shares, but leaves it to a delegated act to specify the thresholds for illiquid shares and for other financial instruments.
The Delegated Regulation specifies the following thresholds for significant price falls in the following financial instruments during a single trading day:
No threshold for a significant fall in the value of the unit price of a listed UCITS, except for Exchange Traded Funds that are UCITS, is specified in this Delegated Regulation, as although the price may vary freely in the trading venue, it is subject to a rule in Directive 2009/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to undertakings for collective investment in transferable securities (UCITS) which keeps the prices close to the Net Asset Value of the UCITS.
No threshold for a significant fall in the value of derivatives which have an underlying which is not a financial instrument, including commodity derivatives, is specified in this Regulation. Given the diversity of these other derivatives, the difficulty of calculating consistent and stable thresholds and the potential to circumvent any threshold, the Commission considered that it is not proportionate or effective to set a threshold for these other derivatives. Article 45 of the Short Selling Regulation requires the Commission to make a report to the European Parliament and the Council on various aspects of the application of this regulation. The Commission may therefore adopt a delegated act in relation the thresholds for UCITS and other derivatives, in particular commodity derivatives, after this review.
What criteria should national regulators or ESMA take into account in determining whether there are adverse events or developments which could trigger a temporary ban on short selling?
The Short Selling Regulation provides that in exceptional situations, national regulators will have powers to impose temporary measures for up to three months (renewable), such as to require further transparency or to restrict short selling and credit default swap transactions. ESMA is given a central role in coordinating action in exceptional situations and ensuring that powers are only exercised where necessary. ESMA can also act itself when the threat from adverse events or developments has a cross-border dimension and action by national regulators is insufficient to address the threat, or in the case of sovereign debt where an emergency is declared by the Council. To ensure a consistent approach to the use of regulators' powers of intervention, the Commission is given the power to further define criteria for determining when an exceptional situation arises.
This Delegated Regulation therefore specifies what are the criteria or factors to be taken into account by national regulators when determining whether there is a threat to financial stability which could trigger temporary short selling bans. These include, for example, serious financial, monetary or budgetary problems or other matters which may lead to financial instability concerning a Member State or a bank and other financial institutions deemed important to the global financial system. Another example is damage to the physical structures of important financial issuers, market infrastructures, clearing and settlement systems, and supervisors which may adversely affect markets in particular where such damage results from a natural disaster or terrorist attack.

The dethroning of the dollar
Is the dollar in danger?
On Thursday, President Trump finally followed through on his
Keds Anchor Chambray ZMoNzc4K
to impose tariffs on most steel and aluminum imports. He did so, he says, to promote Corral Boots A3190 c9YnAgYE
as fairer relationships between the United States and its trading partners. "We've been treated so badly over the years by other countries," Trump said at Thursday's signing ceremony.
But one reason America runs persistent trade deficits is that the U.S. dollar is in high demand. This drives up the value of our currency, making our exports more expensive. And one reason the U.S. dollar is in high demand is that it serves as the world's premiere reserve currency. So to get the sort of trade relationships Trump wants, the U.S. dollar might have to be kicked from its throne.
How could that happen?
There are a few possible ways, says Barry Eichengreen, an economics professor at the University of California, Berkeley and co-author of a book on the topic.
But before we get into the nitty-gritty, let's unpack what a reserve currency means. Basically, whenever two countries trade goods and services, they inevitably trade currencies. But no country controls any currency but their own. That makes it useful to stockpile (i.e. reserve) other currencies for a rainy day (e.g. a financial shock rattles markets or an unforeseen trade crisis strikes).
In theory, everyone should trade in a whole bunch of different currencies. But thanks to many historical factors, most countries just trade with each other using U.S. dollars. Thus, they stockpile dollars, too. As of 2017, almost 64 percent of all foreign exchange reserves were American currency. The euro was in second place at a mere 20 percent. The Japanese yen was way back in third, with less than 5 percent. China's renminbi was just 1.1 percent.
"We talk about the secret sauce that makes for an international currency, with four ingredients," Eichengreen told The Week . "Size, stability, security, and liquidity."
Right now, there's no obvious contender for replacing the U.S. dollar.
Japan, for instance, probably lacks both the sheer scale of GDP and the political or military reach necessary to serve as a reserve currency. And neither of those things will change soon.

Lydia wrote:Hi Justin, that is great news. I've tried a few things with flarestrap, just to showcase options to my team. I probably have just scratched the surface, so I have no 'big' feature suggestions yet. Two things that come to my mind:
- What about the bootstrap carousel? Probably I can use it already, but there is also the slideshow in Flare. Do they 'integrate' in any way?
- Small thing but important: I wondered about a way to get the copyright/license right for bootstrap/flarestrap. Yes, it's free but there should be a note (how?) to the origin. A snippet/masterpage/other with a standard note would be great.
If those things are already possible, I'm sorry for my oversight.

There's a 'top navigation' skin (see Flare's help as an example), and perhaps more interesting are the skin proxies which allow you choose where in your page to put components like the menu (navigation), search, search results.

Staff writer
Bailey Penner of Peabody was ecstatic when he found out he won a $700 scholarship from the Kansas Honey Bee Producers Association earlier this spring. The 13-year-old middle school student did not expect it to be so hard, however, to get his own bee colony going on his family farm just north of Peabody.
Penner used his scholarship money to order a swarm of bees from California, but they died en route to Kansas because of truck driver error. The second order Penner placed also met with disaster when the truck hauling his group, along with 16 million other bees, was detained in a blizzard in Wyoming and the bees arrived dead.
"There is really only about two weeks out of the year that is safe order and ship bees," Penner said. "I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get my hive started this year."
Penner's luck changed, however, and last week a healthy hive of bees arrived at his home.
"Usually you have to wait about three days before you let the queen bee out of her separate box and into the hive," Penner said. "But we had to do it early because she might have frozen on her own without the worker bees' warmth."
Penner said the worker bees are able to connect their legs and form a ladder around the queen bee when cold weather strikes.
"We use hive reducers to crowd them into a smaller space and they can make it 98 degrees in there," he said. "The bees can't go outside if it is 50 degrees or colder, so they stay in and keep the queen warm."
Even though this is Penner's first try at raising bees, he said he has been interested in the farm enterprise for years.
"My dad has always been interested in bees, and two years ago I began working with Debbie McSweeney and learning all I could," he said. "I saw this video about how to raise bees and what you could do with them, and I have been hooked ever since."
McSweeney encouraged Penner to apply for the state bee scholarship and he wrote an essay outlining his interests.
"I've been to two Kansas state bee meetings so far," he said. "They are really interesting and I want to get to as many as I can before one of the leader's retires. They have so much knowledge to share and I want to hear it all."
Penner's mom, Kelly said the family was rearranging vacation time so they could attend bee meetings with Bailey.
"The meetings are at a different place every time," Penner said. "We've gone to Park City for one and to Wichita for another."
Penner's parents are supportive of his interest in bees. His dad even ordered a hive of his own, but they were on the unfortunate load that died in Wyoming. Two weeks ago however, they were able to rescue a wild swarm of bees from the Cory Foth residence in Peabody, so activity around his hive is also buzzing with life.
"The bees protect their own hives," Bailey Penner said. "So we don't worry about them mixing too much. They are very loyal to their own queen."
Though just beginning his bee farming career, Penner talks with one of experience about worker bees, queens, drones, scouts, and guard bees.
"The drones are very large compared to the workers," he said. "They have large, almost horsefly-like eyes, and they die after mating with the queen when she takes her maiden voyage out of the hive."
Penner said he looked forward to checking his hive next week and planned to use a free-day pass he earned with high-test scores from school.
"We are going to open up the box and see if the queen has started laying her brood," he said.
Penner said it would be a year before he could plan to harvest any honey from his bees, but he plans to sell extra at his mom's hair salon shop in Peabody.
"Honey is very healthy for humans," he said. "It is supposed help with allergies and has a lot of natural vitamins."
Penner said he fed his bees sugar-water during the cold weather and hive adjustment period, but they would soon be making their own food from flower pollen.
"Bees can travel up to five miles to get food, so they can cover all the flowers in Peabody," he said. "They also really like dandelions, so I hope people don't kill them off too much."
Penner said he had been stung once or twice but it did not hurt much.
"They can be really tame when they are not alarmed or protecting the hive," he said. "They are getting used to me."

South Dakota's Joe Glenn on South Dakota State Loss, North Dakota State Game
It was the atmosphere they were looking for and the competitiveness that was missing from last year's South Dakota Showdown game, but in the end, the result was the same for USD Saturday, a loss to in-state rival South Dakota State.
The problems for the Coyotes in the 27-12 loss started with the running game - or a lack of one - with regulars Trevor Bouma and Jordan Roberts limited with injuries, leaving USD to start the game with wide receiver Josh Vander Maten pressed into service as a running back.
Bouma and Roberts did eventually make it on to the field, but were noticeably limited by their injuries, as the Coyotes managed just 59 yards on the ground. Head Coach Joe Glenn told me that made things tough for his team:
Despite having the ball 9:40 less than SDSU, the USD offense did out gain the Jackrabbits 384 yards to 315, thanks to a career high day from wide receiver Terrance Terry and 21 completions from quarterback Kevin Earl:
Despite the setbacks running the ball, the Coyotes did have plenty of opportunities offensively. Eight different times in the game USD drove the ball inside the SDSU 40 yard line, but only three of those drives netted points (2 field goals and a touchdown). Three other drives ended on downs, one with a missed field goal, one with an interception:
With South Dakota State trying to close out the game in the fourth quarter, the USD special teams and defense came up with two big plays to keep the Coyotes clinging to life.
With 4:34 to play, Dyllon Knox blocked a field goal to keep it an eight point game, and then with 2:53 left, Keyen Lage forced a Zach Zenner fumble, giving the Coyotes the ball on the SDSU 30, with a chance to tie the game.
But on the very next play, a combination of things went wrong for USD on a pass attempt from Earl to Terry that instead was picked off by the Jacks' Winston Wright, who took it 80-yards for a touchdown that put the game out of reach:
The loss leaves USD 4-7 (3-4 in Missouri Valley play) with one game left on the 2013 schedule, at #1 North Dakota State Saturday at the FargoDome.
Last season in Sioux Falls, the Bison handed the Coyotes their worst loss of the Joe Glenn era, 54-0, out gaining USD 385-76 in total offense.
So will there be any mention of that game heading into this week's match-up?
Kickoff is 2:30pm Saturday afternoon in Fargo.

Comments: Thomas Lamborn (Nee: ) | Ks | 1851-1900 | Comments: Frank Roses Gr Grandfather ///submitted by Edsel Burdge Jr. 8/2004 - Thomas Lamborn (1821-1892) was originally a member of New Garden Monthly Meeting (MM), Chester Co., Pa. On 12 m. 16, 1846, he married Mary Hayes (18261919), daughter Isaac Hayes of East Marlborough MM. At some point they moved to Cayuga Co., NY. He was recorded a minister in Scipio MM (N.Y.) (Wilburite and later the subgroup of Wilburite Friends known as Otisite). In 1863, with feloow Quakers, Joseph Brinton, Joseph Hopkins, and James D. Otis, Lamborn visited President Abraham Lincoln. In 1865, he laid a concern before his meeting to be liberated for service in Great Britain. The Meeting for Sufferings did not unite with the concern. Lamborn refused to lay it down and elicited the support of a number of Friends in Ohio General Meeting, including Joshua Maule. As a result, Ohio GM split between the Maulites and Kollites (followers of minister Daniel Koll), with the Kollites identifying with the General Meeting of Pa., New York Yearly Meeting (Otisite), and Annual Meeting of New England. In N.Y., Lamborn broke with NYYM (Otisite) and held meetings in his home under the care of Ohio GM. At some point, Lamborn moved to Woodson Co., Kan., where he died.
Information about Lamborn can be found in Joshua Maule, TRANSACTIONS AND CHANGES IN THE SOCIETY OF FRIENDS (1886), 274-292; A. Day Bradley, "New York Meeting at Poplar Ridge and the Primitive Friends," QUAKER HISTORY 68 (Autumn 1979): 76; Thomas Lamborn and Mary Hayes marriage, Friend (1 m. 2, 1847): 120. I have a photocopy of an account of his visit with Lincoln. I also have photocopies of several letters from Lamborn to Joshua Maule, taken from the Joshua Maule Collection at the Friends Historical LIbrary at Earlham College in Richmond, IN.

Have a read here for instructions
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/threa ... geNo=7#131
2) macros for everyone
here's a great thread of macros for all classes
3) addon info
a) Trinity buttons VERY easy to set up
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/i ... yBars.html
piccy here...
http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/9494 ... 032vg5.jpg
you can see the keybindings are shown here. that ui is actually a month old now so it's marginally different
b) Fubar - replacement for Titan Bar - you can see it in the screeny above (at the top)
It's aced... I'll come to that later.
You'll need the following mods.
c) Cartographer - it's aced too... great replacement for Atlas and has Map coords ... I've actually flipped to MetaMap since I wrote this because there's some cool usernotes things going around
d) Monkeyquest - I've gone with Questffu... very easy to use and plugs into fubar - aced
e) Onebag - aced, ditto OneBank and OneRing
f) bank items - never used it but try the aced - OneStorage or OneView
g) Tank Alert - no idea you'll have to search yourself
h) EQcompare = Equipcompare - aced
i) Item Rack - closet gnome - aced... this can also autoequip a mount set or herbalist/mining set etc etc. very useful.
j) ACE.... for ace you need at LEAST 3 libraries
but you probably need a few more too... just have a quick look if you get a redbox error message and it'll probably say something about missing... and then a library name, just install a library like another addon.
How to install ace libraries and addons...
1) download this file
2) click the addons you want and hit F12
done, same method for updating them too!!!
finally you should consider ORA2 and BIGWIGS, both aced and both useful for raid alerts and boss mods, will be essential later on
also KTM threatmeter is a good one if you care about aggro ... i don't
finally finally!
the official Ace addon pages are at http://www.wowace.com but frankly it's a shytshow and is very badly presented... useful info but badly executed.
my current official source for addons is http://www.wowinterface.com because its MILES less laggy than curse gaming and it has all the aced addons and loads of others but most important it has pages which tell you about the addons, screenshots, and comments... (hints tips etc)

Daily Intranasal Oxytocin for Childhood-Onset Schizophrenia
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01712646
Recruitment Status : Terminated

- How to Read a Study Record
- Oxytocin is a chemical that the brain normally produces. It plays an important part in the way humans and other animals act in social and emotional situations. Adults with schizophrenia have been studied to see if oxytocin can reduce some symptoms of schizophrenia, such as hearing voices, feeling suspicious, and not feeling interested in daily life. These studies show that oxytocin may help. However, it has not been studied in children who develop schizophrenia. Researchers want to see if oxytocin, given as a nasal spray, is safe and can reduce schizophrenia symptoms in children.
- To see if an oxytocin nasal spray can reduce schizophrenia symptoms in children.
- Children above 10 years of age who have childhood-onset schizophrenia, and have schizophrenia symptoms in spite of taking medication.
- This study will last 4 weeks. Participants will stay in the hospital for the entire period of the study. Participants may also have an extra 2 weeks of study medication and 1 week of testing immediately following the initial 4 weeks.
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical and psychiatric history. They will provide blood and urine samples, and have imaging studies of the brain. They will also have tests to look at their social and emotional functioning. These tests will take 1 week to perform.
- Participants will have either oxytocin or placebo nasal spray twice daily for 2 weeks.
- At the end of the 2-week period with nasal spray, there will be 1 week with no nasal spray. All the tests of week 1 will be repeated.
- The optional extra 3 weeks (2 weeks with oxytocin and one week for testing) will be similar to the second, third, and fourth weeks of the study. All participants will have oxytocin during this period.
|Condition or disease
|Childhood Onset Psychotic Disorders Schizophrenia
|Drug: Intranasal Oxytocin
|Phase 1 Phase 2
Recent studies with intranasal oxytocin administration indicate moderate efficacy in symptom reduction in adult patients with schizophrenia, and moderate to good response in improving social cognition in patients with autism. The majority (about 75%) of patients with childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) continue to show impairing social and psychotic symptoms after drug treatment optimization, and almost 30% of children with COS have co-morbid autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Oxytocin may be a safe and effective adjunctive treatment to improve social cognition, reduce anxiety, and indirectly reduce psychotic symptoms in medication-stable COS patients.
To study whether intranasal oxytocin (study medication) would be safe, improve emotional/social cognition, and reduce symptom severity in clinically stable COS children and whether the study medication would also result in specific neurocircuitry changes, as measured by multimodal neuroimaging.
Study Population:
72 patients (36 per group) with COS, ages 10 and above will be recruited. All patients will be on stable medications for at least one month prior to this study.
Two-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design trial of daily intranasal oxytocin. Subsequent to the study period, a two-week extension of open label study medication will be offered to all participants, regardless of study group assignment.
Outcome Measures:
Primary Outcome Measures:
To evaluate the safety of intranasal oxytocin in COS patients.
To assess whether intranasal administration of oxytocin will improve both positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia compared to placebo, as measured by PANSS, SAPS, SANS, and BPRS.
To evaluate whether intranasal oxytocin has significant effects on the social and emotional processing and behavior of children with COS, as measured by the Diagnostic Analysis of Nonverbal Behavior (DANVA-2), Developmental Neuropsychological Assessment (NEPSY-2) standardized social perception battery, Brune Theory of Mind Pictures Stories Task, Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test. Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS).
To measure alterations in neurocircuitry after oxytocin administration, as measured by fMRI, DTI, and MEG.
To evaluate changes in blood plasma oxytocin levels measured over the course of the study.
|Study Type :

Topic: Bossk vs. Durge
Hey everyone,
This subject came up under another thread so i decided to start a new one for it. The reason why this would be a good close match is because they are both slightly blinded by their quick tempers and deep anger. They both find themselves turning to blind anger which makes them fight impulsively instead of using their smarts (like the Fetts).
here is a little clip of something i found on Durge, for those of you who are not very familier with him...it doesn't quite do him justice, but will do for now.
Durge-----Gen'Dai Bounty Hunter
The Gen'Dai, an extremely long-lived species, are usually not aggressive. Durge is and exception.
Who do you think would win? this close match should have a divided result...

Michael Beasley is one of the few NBA players who might actually manage to be more interesting when he's not playing professional basketball. Since the NBA lockout began, he's been cited for speeding and for marijuana possession, and he "mushed" a heckler during a game at Dyckman Park in August. This man needs a reality show.
But now it's October, and Supercool Beas is shedding his leaves and starting anew. He's doing yoga and pirouettes and he's organizing exhibition games (it's plausible that he's doing it all stoned). From the Star Tribune:
He has played with childhood pal Durant and Wall in exhibition games across the country and also has incorporated elements of yoga, karate and, yes, ballet into summer workouts intended to make his body stronger, more limber and help ensure a long, productive career. He has dropped about 15 pounds after playing last season at 240 pounds.

Australian radio jocks leave airwaves following nurse's death
The Australian radio jocks who impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles on Tuesday will no longer be on the airwaves -- for now.
The news comes after a nurse who fell victim to the DJs' prank telephone call seeking information about the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge died in an apparent suicide.
The station released the following statement about radio personalities Mel Greig and Michael Christian: "Southern Cross Austereo (SCA) and 2Day FM are deeply saddened by the tragic news of the death of nurse Jacintha Saldanha from King Edward VII's Hospital and we extend our deepest sympathies to her family and all that have been affected by this situation around the world."
"Chief Executive Officer Rhys Holleran has spoken with the presenters, they are both deeply shocked and at this time we have agreed that they not comment about the circumstances. SCA and the hosts have decided that they will not return to their radio show until further notice out of respect for what can only be described as a tragedy."
The King Edward VII hospital said nurse Jacintha Saldanha took the hoax call by two Australian radio disc jockeys who impersonated Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles early Tuesday to elicit private information on the duchess' condition. Saldanha later transferred the call to the nurse caring for the duchess, who was admitted for acute morning sickness. That second nurse spoke freely about her 30-year-old patient, one of the world's most photographed women.}
Saldanha was found dead early Friday. Police say her death is unexplained.
"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies at this time are with her family and friends," said John Lofthouse, the hospital's chief executive, said in a statement. "Everyone is shocked by the loss of a much-loved and valued colleague."
St. James's Palace, which speaks for Prince William, the duchess' husband, also expressed sadness about the nurse's death, but insisted that it had not complained about the hoax.}
"On the contrary, we offered our full and heartfelt support to the nurses involved and hospital staff at all times," the palace said in a statement.
The prank phone call took place early Tuesday and the two radio personalities apologized the following day.
A woman using the often-mimicked voice of Britain's monarch asked after the duchess' health. She was told by the second nurse who took the call from Saldanha that the duchess, the former Kate Middleton, "hasn't had any retching with me and she's been sleeping on and off."
The nurse went on to say the duchess had had an uneventful night, as another radio employee pretended to be a dog yapping in the background. The alleged queen and prince then talked about traveling to the London hospital to check in on the patient, who is married to the queen's grandson, Prince William.
The hospital said it supported Saldanha in the aftermath of the call and that its phone protocols were under review.}
The Australian station 2DayFM placed the recording of the conversation on its website but later said it was sorry.
"We were very surprised that our call was put through. We thought we'd be hung up on as soon as they heard our terrible accents," the radio jocks said in a joint statement with the station at the time. "We're very sorry if we've caused any issues and we're glad to hear that Kate is doing well."
However, the disc jockeys also described the call as the "easiest prank call ever made," and promoted it through the station's website and social media accounts.
The Sydney-based 2Day FM continued promote its prank call on air early Saturday morning local time. It described the hoax as "the prank call the world is talking about" before playing clips of news programs reporting on the original call.
Christian's Twitter account has since been taken down.
Officials from St. James's Palace have said the duchess is not yet 12 weeks pregnant. The child would be the first for her and Prince William and become third in line to the British throne, after Charles and William.

Nokia has finally released an "exclusive" video game for their Lumia line of Windows Phones. But no, it's not Angry Birds: Space or anything from EA, it's a little indie title that they had on Symbian awhile back called Climate Mission 3D.
Sounds like a bad 80's movie to us. That or an episode of Captain Planet.
Regardless of Cartman-like reaction it's not half bad. The 3D graphics are well done and the music is chill enough without being annoying. You basically have three mini games--Iceberg, Ants and Trees--which keep you occupied with little tasks like making bigger icebergs, forcing slave ants to do you bidding by collecting pine needles or populating the earth with fruit launching trees.
Although we jest at the theme of the game, considering it's free it' s not a terrible time killer. While the initial levels are dead simple (to train you) it does get a little challenging. There are also things to unlock and do around the globe and we guess the message ain't too bad albeit tacky.
But hey, free is free so if you're on a Nokia Lumia phone go and grab Climate Mission 3D now in the Nokia Collection. Thanks, Kay O., for the tip

Our Faithful Friends: Horses
Do you know that after dogs, our most loyal friends are horses? Domestic horses never leave their owners if they are able not to.
These loyal friends can carry us kilometres without becoming tired. Horses are the animals that have helped man most throughout history.
Today, you can see thousands of cars on the streets and there are many motorways built for these cars. Cars, however, came into the service of man only in the last century. At the time your grandfather's grandfather was born, there were no cars. In those years, animals, especially horses, were used for transportation.
Do you know that you can identify the age of a horse by looking at its incisors? Indeed, since the grass on which horses feed contains sand and dust, their teeth wear out gradually and the degree of this indicates their age. Despite this, however, horses' teeth are very long. These teeth are similar to long strips buried deep in the roots of the jawbone. That is, compared to our teeth, the roots of horses' teeth reside deep inside. As the teeth wear out, the part remaining in the jawbone begins to emerge. In fact, the roots of the teeth of very old horses appear on the surface of the gum. Each tooth may wear out about two and a half to five centimetres (one to two inches) before it loses its ability to chew. Think for a moment: had our Lord not given this feature to horses, these animals would quickly lose their teeth and die of starvation.
Our Lord has also given another important ability to the hair of horses. Horsehair serves as a thermostat – a device used to regulate body temperature – for the animal. Their body must always remain at a constant body temperature of 38 degrees Centigrade (100.4 F). To maintain this temperature, the hair of the horse becomes longer in winter. In hot seasons, horses shed their hair, thereby maintaining this body temperature.
Here is another interesting feature of horses: Horses sleep on their feet! Do you know how they manage not to fall down? Because their leg bones have the ability to lock themselves while asleep. Thanks to this ability our Lord has given horses, they can sleep on their feet and also carry very heavy loads. The heads of human beings, however, fall down even when they fall asleep in an armchair.
Horses' legs are specially created not only to make them carry heavy loads but also to make them run very fast. Unlike other animals, horses do not have collarbones, a feature that enables them to take bigger steps. Besides, there is a bone-muscle mechanism in their limbs that, as they gain speed, decreases the amount of energy they spend and increases their ability to move. The functioning principles of this mechanism is similar to the gear mechanism in cars. Just as an accelerating car shifts to a higher gear, horses, too, shift to a higher gear when they want to run faster. While the force required for pushing decreases, the ability to move increases.
Well, why are horses' bodies designed in a way to make them carry heavy loads and run very fast? Actually, carrying heavy loads or running very fast are not skills that a horse needs for itself. So, why do horses have these abilities?
The answer is obvious. These skills have been given to horses not to meet their own needs but to serve human beings. In other words, Allah has created horses with these abilities so that they can serve human beings. In the Qur'an, our Lord stresses that He has created animals to serve people:
And He created livestock. There is warmth for you in them, and various uses and some you eat. And there is beauty in them for you in the evening when you bring them home and in the morning when you drive them out to graze. They carry your loads to lands you would never reach except with great difficulty. Your Lord is All-Gentle, Most Merciful. And horses, mules and donkeys both to ride and for adornment. And He creates other things you do not know. (Surat an-Nahl: 5-8)

Fun BBWs in Central Illinois
Thanks for checking out the group - hope everyone finds what they are looking for.
The most real people can be found in groups and that is what will be found here as well.... We are a social based group that does try to get together on a monthly basis to give everyone an opportunity to come out and hang out with us, but we are not a group that provides a play room with any of our get togethers. Sex does happen at our get togethers - just a bit more privately than in some other groups.
The group is not only about the best big beautiful women (BBW) in Central Illinois and the men who appreciate all they have to offer, it is also an escape for many of us from our hectic day to day lives. Everyone is welcome to join in the fun and friendships that this group has to offer as long as all guidelines will be followed and respected. Those guidelines are simple. Respect yourself - and each other. There are no hook up threads allowed on our boards and we do not allow web cams in our chat room.
Posting to boards is encouraged and commenting to posted threads is always appreciated. Every new member who joins needs to post a new member intro so that the whole group can welcome you appropriately. Posting and commenting is what will keep each member listed as active. If the time has been taken to join, take the time to give it a real chance.
The group goal is to attract and keep active members who want to be a part of a fun and fabulous group.
In addition to what has been mentioned, the group is about each and every member. The main rule for the group is respect (as already mentioned). Each member has their own life, opinions, values, etc... and no personal attacks will be tolerated against any member. Each member regardless of personal background shares at least one common interest, the group. Everyone is here to have fun, make friends, and meet new people.
An active chat room is a goal of the group as well. It is understood that everyone's schedules will cause people to be in group at different times, but this can still be an achievable goal. The chat room can be a great place to get to know some of the members better, but the only way to be a part of the chat room is to remain in active member status.
Thanks for reading - WELCOME TO THE GROUP - and please post a new to group intro thread before going any further!!.

For seniors who find it increasingly difficult to leave home, there are several local businesses who will deliver essential needs right to the doorstep.
Local grocery stores across the county deliver for no or a small delivery fee.
Carlsons' Grocery Store delivers to those within Marion city limits and at the lake for a $1 delivery fee.
Co-owner Greg Carlson said the store has been delivering to seniors forever, and are glad to help the elderly of the community.
"We know some of them need a little more help, so we send our elves out to deliver what they need," he said.
The store takes grocery orders before noon and delivers them on Tuesday morning. They have a special delivery van they use to take the groceries. Carlson said they usually deliver to anywhere from eight to 12 residents a week.
Greg Carlson's son, Nick Carlson, and nephew, Chase Carlson, alternate taking the deliveries every other week.
"I really enjoy taking them," Nick Carlson said. "There's several I deliver to every week and they're fun. They always ask how I'm doing and check up on things happening in my life. Most of them are very nice and funny."
Merrill Branson said he and his wife, Jean, wouldn't be able to make it without the delivery service. Until last week, the Bransons did not have access to a car. Nick Carlson delivers essentials to their house every week. During deliveries, the couple jokes and catches up on events from his life.
Nick Carlson said with the low cost for delivery the store actually loses money, but it is not the money that counts.
"I think my dad knows that his parents are getting to the age where they will need the service soon, so he doesn't want to do away with it," he said. "With the large elderly population we want to do what we can to help customers."
Peabody Market owner Rick Turner said they deliver to five or six people a week for no delivery fee. Customers are asked to call with their orders on Friday morning.
"We try to get all orders out by noon on Friday," Turner said.
Both Hillsboro grocery stores, Dale's Supermarket and Vogt's Hometown Market, offer free delivery to seniors any day of the week. Vogt's manager Todd Vogt said they deliver to a few regulars.
Keith's Foods in Goessel has been delivering to local seniors forever, according to owner Keith Banman. He said the delivery route is pretty small, but will take deliveries any day of the week for people who need them.
Several pharmacies also deliver prescription medication to seniors.
Greenhaw Pharmacy of Hillsboro has a program called Meds on Track. The pharmacy delivers a month's supply of medicine to seniors within the city limits for a $1 delivery fee. They also deliver to residents outside of town for a fee based on miles driven.
Owner Eric Driggers said they have 70 regulars they deliver to every month. The pharmacy sorts the medicine into daily doses in week increments.
"It takes a lot of guess work out of medication for most seniors, that way they aren't missing doses and taking the right amount," he said. "It's also a lot more convenient for them."
The pharmacy has been offering their delivery program for over 10 years, Driggers said.
Marion Health Mart offers a similar program, except they deliver in the evening, also for no delivery fee.
Don's Drug Store in Peabody also delivers for free. Pharmacist Ken Krehbiel said the program was started 33 years ago.
"People call and we take them their meds," he said. "We try to condense it down to one day a week, but if people need medicine we will take it whenever."
He said the pharmacy continues the program as a service to the elderly who may not be mobile enough to drive to the store.
"Sometimes it's hard for them to get out and about," he said. "This helps make sure they stay safe and get what they need."
