End the silence on torture
The sacrifice of the heroes of 9/11 must not be used as a justification for torture
September 11, 2001 will always remain an infamous day to the world. But to the men and women of the NYPD and FDNY it remains indelibly stamped in their minds. For on that tragic September morning in the dying embers of summer, they raced towards lower Manhattan by any means necessary.
Battling their way through the sea of humanity, fearfully fleeing the devastation, these men frantically checked their pagers and mobile phones for any information that may enlighten them with regard to the inferno which was about to engulf them. They stood in ranks on Liberty, Church and Barkley Streets as terrified civilians by the thousands fled north on the elevated West Side Highway.
These individuals whose aspirations in life were the most humbling – save enough for a house in the 'burbs, enough to put their children through college, that long dreamed-of trip back to the old sod or whatever country bore their ancestors, the highlight of their week shooting the breeze over a few ice-cold beers – for many hundreds of these men these dreams and aspirations were to lay unfulfilled in the ruins and the wreckage of the World Trade Center.
As they donned their breathing equipment and held their torch-fire axes, many stood in silence, attempting to comprehend the incomprehensible as they stared skyward at what appeared to many as Dante's Inferno. Some made frantic cellphone calls home, fully knowing it may be their last, some blessed themselves and prayed to their god, many thinking they may see him soon. If they were fearful, they did not show it, for it was not fear and self-motivation that propelled these individuals into the World Trade Center and up smoke-filled stairwells.
It was, to quote Chief Edward F. Croker, an Irish-born American of the fire department of New York from 1899-1911, "an act of unselfish bravery." Chief Croker said, "When a man becomes a firefighter, his greatest act of bravery has already been accomplished." These sons and daughters of immigrants were the finest examples of bravery humanity has ever produced. The compassion beating in the hearts of these individuals will remain unsurpassed in our lifetime. They defined everything great about the nation and the unconquerable soul of the human spirit.
On the morning of this barbaric act, as millions viewed throughout the world on TV screens, questioning the very existence of a god in the face of such barbarism, the individuals of FDNY and NYPD restored my faith in the existence of a just compassionate god. For their actions exemplified that. They shall forever remain deep in our hearts and in our memory, as those who sacrificed their lives so that others might live. No greater tribute can be bestowed upon them.
Just for a moment, remember where you were on that fearful morning and the fear you felt and think what these individuals were doing at that very exact moment. Yet the story of these individuals who emanated everything great about mankind has been tragically hijacked by those dark forces of mankind, those who took the sacrifice of these people and repeatedly used it as an excuse for the justification of torture. These men did not give their lives so that people could torture in the name of political ends.

Older kids can learn to make these themselves, and younger ones can be helpers. Remember to be careful with knives and sharp blender blades.
Which came first, the chickpea or the egg? These rich and tangy deviled eggs with chickpeas (a.k.a. garbanzo beans) are inspired by hummus, yet have an irresistible appeal all their own.
Cashews and almondmilk give this pasta dish creamy richness, without the addition of dairy products. If you'd like your pasta even spicier, toss the noodles and sauce with 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
This is a fantastic side or first-course salad, but it will transition easily to a main course with a scoop of fresh crabmeat or grilled shrimp. Choose tomatoes of different colors and sizes for best effect: yellow, green, purple or striped, and a mix of large and...
Buttery puff pastry forms the base for these crunchy twists, perfect for serving as a snack or before a light meal.
Cheddar cheese and sweet cranberries complement each other nicely in these little muffins, bringing sharp, sweet and tart flavors together in a single bite. A basket of these mini muffins looks tempting on the holiday brunch table.
We love summer fruit and sometimes indulge in a bit of decadence in our preparation. Sweet dough topped with mascarpone cheese, fresh peaches and berries are finished with crème fraîche and fresh mint. This delicious treat is not your standard fruit bar.
Tiny red aduki beans deliver a low-fat source of protein and fiber while balancing the flavor of sweet potatoes and bitter greens.
You can easily make a meal of this herb-and-garlic tomato soup paired with lightly crunchy toast liberally topped with creamy, rich avocado spread.
This salad of black-eyed peas and crunchy vegetables tossed in a light vinaigrette is a traditional New Year's dish, but it's suited to other meals as well. Spicy, zesty and colorful, the black-eyed peas in the salad may resemble caviar to some wishful eaters.
Make sure the prosciutto you use isn't too thinly sliced or it may fall apart when you assemble these tasty hors d'oeuvres. Substitute fig preserves, if you like.
The sweet and tangy dressing for this coleslaw also makes a wonderful all-purpose dressing for any salad. Turn this dish into a vegetarian main course by tossing in some cubed baked tofu.
Karen from Dallas made this dish for one of her favorite cooking teachers. "She paid me the compliment a student would hope to receive from their teacher by asking for the recipe." This healthy stir-fry combines tempeh, burdock root and whole grain pasta with...
Traditionally, smoked or fresh southern pork sausage, known as Andouille, is the centerpiece of this Cajun-inspired dish. Pinto beans, onions and green peppers get a kick from fire roasted tomatoes and green chiles in this deceptively simple yet filling meal.
Creamy Yukon Gold potatoes provide a tender base in this light and tangy, European-style alternative to the traditional mayonnaise-based potato salad. Chives, parsley, tarragon and capers add depth of flavor, while olive oil and Dijon mustard pull it all together...
Tart grapefruit becomes sweet and delicate when poached in a syrup of honey and warm spices. Serve with yogurt or fromage blanc for a delicious breakfast treat, or with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

SLO Solar Cookers is a solar cooking club in San Luis Obispo, California.
Rosemary Wilvert writes:
For those who enjoy solar cooking, nothing is more satisfying than to share this pleasure with others. Five locals from different walks of life have teamed up to present solar cooking classes at community gathering spots around San Luis Obispo County. Two teachers began with demonstrations in their homes, a recreation hall and coffee houses, and soon received invitations from Cal Poly State University, Earth Day in the Plaza, Cuesta Community College, and the Botanical Garden. As the audiences have grown, so have the number of teachers; our aim is to teach others to teach others . . . . Our newest member is from a professional cooking school.
Along with tasty samples of foods cooked on the spot with no fuel, we share a short video from SolarOvens.org, showing the environmental benefits of solar cooking. We share copies of Solar Cooker Review, including its catalog in the back, and answer questions. We point out that just about any recipe can be used, and the fun is in the experimentation. The participants taste for themselves how varied and delicious the foods are.
I have been cooking by the sun, nearly everything we eat, for several decades, even in the winter. I made my first two ovens from cardboard, and then a few years ago bought an SOS Cooker from Solar Cookers International. Made from recycled soda bottles, it's my favorite, for light-weight portability and efficiency. It has paid for itself, as I hardly ever heat my kitchen oven. My husband and I take it on trips; it makes a hit in the campground!
Even a modest lifestyle in the U.S. is plushy compared with those in most of the developing nations. My solar oven, greywater system, backyard garden, etc, themselves, won't make a huge difference in the world, but they are a tiny bit I can do. The effort is so rewarding.

Dear Church is a series of letters from a twenty-something to the global church she's not always sure she wants to be a part of. The author's story awakens the voice of a younger generation whose attendance in the church is dropping, yet she encourages the church that their Christian faith is still alive and well. In the end, Dear Church tells a story that will be familiar to every age group: the story of overcoming disillusionment and staying the course.

Recently, there has been substantial growth in mutual funds utilizing managed-futures-based strategies. The number of distinct managed futures mutual funds doubled to 24 in 2011, according to Morningstar Inc. The funds represent a revolutionary advance in the product mix in managed futures. Once regulatory roadblocks are lifted, the growth of mutual fund products will escalate even more.
Some of the principal attractions to managed futures mutual funds for investors and financial intermediaries are that, in addition to offering exposure to the asset class, they offer daily liquidity. Also, they can be sold, like traditional mutual funds, through omnibus "supermarket" arrangements using electronic "point and click" trading, without the need for investors to fill out subscription documents or applications. However, the regulatory landscape for these products is evolving quickly.
Therefore, it is important that sponsors looking to launch managed futures mutual funds understand the regulatory issues. Recent rulemaking proposals by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and recent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) policy changes could affect these products (see "The tax man cometh," last page).
Managed futures mutual funds are regulated by both the CFTC and, pursuant to the 1940 Act, by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The sponsors of these investment products must understand the restrictions under the 1940 Act that relate to trading futures contracts in a mutual fund. Because of these unique issues, it also is important that compliance officers of these funds (and their managers) implement appropriate policies and procedures designed to prevent violations of applicable law. To further complicate matters, much of the law in this area is uncertain.
Section 18 of the 1940 Act limits the ability of investment companies to issue senior securities, which primarily is intended to restrict an investment company's ability to create leverage. The SEC has viewed various trading practices, including futures trading, as potentially involving the issuance of senior securities.
To address the leveraging concerns presented by such transactions, the SEC has established guidelines. These generally are set out in no-action letters as well as informal staff positions. They typically require the establishment and maintenance of a segregated account with the investment company's custodian containing sufficient assets to cover the obligation arising from a particular transaction (Segregated Account). The assets in a Segregated Account must be liquid (and may include equity securities and debt securities of any grade) and marked-to-market daily, and may not be used to cover other obligations.
The SEC has reasoned that a Segregated Account will function as a practical limit on the amount of leverage an investment company may undertake and ensure the availability of adequate funds to meet the obligations arising from such transactions.
With respect to futures contracts, the SEC generally has taken the position that an amount equal to the full notional value of the contract must be held in the Segregated Account. However, with respect to cash-settled contracts, the SEC has, on an informal basis, allowed funds to segregate only the marked-to-market net obligations (i.e., the fund's daily net liability) under the contracts, if any, rather than full notional value.
Since 1985, the CFTC has excluded mutual funds (which are registered with the SEC as investment companies, or RICs), insurance companies and ERISA plans that are "otherwise regulated" from regulation to avoid duplicate oversight. CFTC Rule 4.5 applied only to qualifying entities such as RICs if they used futures solely for bona fide hedging purposes or in other futures transactions if the aggregate initial margin and premiums required to establish such positions did not exceed 5% of the net asset value of the fund's portfolio, after taking into account unrealized profits and losses on any such positions and excluding the amount by which such options were in-the-money at the time of purchase (the 5% Test); or if the RIC marketed itself as a futures product or as a vehicle for trading in or providing exposure to commodity interests (the Marketing Test). In 2003, the CFTC removed both of those tests for RICs. Now, a RIC could use futures in any amount and hold itself out in any way and still be excluded from the CFTC's pool rules.
Not surprisingly, RICs began taking advantage of the expanded exclusion and a number of new managed futures RICs targeted at retail investors were launched. It created a regulatory anomaly with other retail managed futures products such as publicly offered futures funds (that were not RICs). The public futures funds were subject to detailed disclosure requirements, pre-filings with NFA, periodic reporting and other requirements, none of which were applicable to the managed futures RICs relying on Rule 4.5. Perhaps as a result of the regulators realizing that the de-regulation effort may have gone too far, or chagrined that they had no regulation over the fastest growing segment of the managed futures industry, the CFTC and National Futures Association (NFA) began efforts to re-instate the 5% Test and Marketing Test.
RICs that had launched managed futures funds opposed any additional regulation and correctly cited that although excluded from CFTC regulation, their funds were subject to SEC regulations for RICs. However, it didn't seem to make sense to have a "regulatory arbitrage" opportunity for two virtually identical retail futures products, one involving a RIC with no CFTC or NFA regulation, and another with a public futures fund with significant regulation.
NFA took the lead role in speaking with the various segments of the RIC and managed futures industries to find a workable resolution. NFA assembled an informal group of representatives from the various factions to share their ideas in an attempt to forge a set of proposals to the CFTC. In April 2011, NFA submitted its comments on the Rule 4.5 amendments to the CFTC.
NFA recognized that there are RICs that use a significant number of futures (satisfy the 5% Test) but do not market themselves as managed futures products. In those cases, NFA proposed that the RIC's registered investment adviser register with the CFTC as a pool operator, but that they be excluded from the CFTC's Part 4 disclosure obligations. With the proliferation of futures equivalents (e.g., swaps), the calculation of the 5% is more complicated than prior to 2003 when the rule just counted initial futures margin. In addition, in advance of the adoption of the swaps rules and margin requirements, no one knows how much of a fund's 5% will be taken up by margins.
The second operating restriction that the CFTC wants to restore to Rule 4.5 is the Marketing Test. In other words, a fund sponsor would not qualify for the exclusion in Rule 4.5 if it markets the fund as a managed futures product or as a vehicle for getting investment exposure to the commodities or futures markets. Certain funds have clearly marketed themselves as futures funds, whether because of the name of the fund or its stated investment objective. For other funds, it is not as clear whether they satisfy the Marketing Test (see "Pass or fail," below).
If the proposed revisions to Rule 4.5 are adopted, an instrument that calls itself a managed futures fund would have to comply with the CFTC's Part 4 commodity pool rules. The most difficult challenge will be to "harmonize" those CFTC rules with the requirements under the SEC's rules for RICs. Although there are some logistic differences in the areas of reporting to investors, delivery of the prospectus and recordkeeping, those easily can be resolved by the CFTC's exemptive authority.
The hardest area to harmonize will be the content of the disclosures to investors. The SEC and CFTC's disclosure practices are similar but not identical, and in some areas, they conflict. The SEC requires disclosure of the dollar amount of expenses an investor will pay after one, three, five and 10 years of investment, assuming a 5% return. However, the CFTC requires a "breakeven" disclosure of the percentage return that a fund must realize in the first 12 months of operations to recoup all fees and expenses during that period. The best example of a conflict between the two has to do with past performance results. The SEC prohibits the inclusion of past performance of the fund sponsor (unless the fund is substantially similar to the other fund). However, the CFTC requires all of such past performance, whether substantially similar or not. The CFTC could exempt RICs from the past performance disclosure obligations (and from any other rule that is inconsistent or conflicts with the SEC's rule), but it would detract from the CFTC's goal of regulating these retail futures products.
Another significant difference between the SEC and CFTC is the way that the prospectus/disclosure document is amended. When filing an amendment with the SEC (that does not trigger the re-filing of a registration statement), the amendment is effective upon filing without staff review or comment. By contrast, all amendments filed with the CFTC (actually NFA, to whom the function was delegated) are reviewed by NFA (even those with immaterial changes). While every effort is made by NFA to accommodate a fund's schedule, the volume of filings and the detailed review of them that is mandated by the CFTC frequently causes significant delays before a document can be distributed to fund investors. Because RICs have daily purchases and redemptions, it is critical that all updated prospectuses be available to investors without delay. The CFTC could require RICs that are not eligible for Rule 4.5 to file all amendments with NFA but make such amendments available to investors immediately without waiting for staff comments.
The CFTC hosted a "roundtable" on July 5, 2011 for the various interested parties to share their views and provide additional information to the staff during their deliberations on the rule proposal. More than 80 industry participants have submitted comments to the proposed changes to Rule 4.5, many of them critical in one way or another.
It is not clear that the SEC is willing to exempt or modify its rules as part of any harmonization with the CFTC in connection with adoption of a revised Part 4.5. Thus, the burden to mesh the rules may rest solely on the CFTC.
The goal of the CFTC and NFA in amending Rule 4.5 is laudable — to have a level playing field when it comes to regulating retail managed futures products. The rub is that the uneven playing field right now is just fine with the existing funds. It is hoped that the CFTC will work with the industry to address operational concerns prior to enacting any final rulemaking.
Many persons in the industry expected that the CFTC would have adopted the Rule 4.5 changes by now. The delay could be a matter of allocation of staff resources. No doubt the staff is swamped with finalizing the Dodd-Frank swap rules, and then something called MF Global came along.
The tax man cometh
In addition to the SEC regulations, the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) also causes unique issues for managed futures mutual funds.
For example, mutual funds avoid corporate-level tax by qualifying as "regulated investment companies" under the IRC. And under the "90% Test," at least 90% of a regulated investment company's gross income each year must come from dividends, interest, gains from the sale of stock, securities or foreign currencies, certain payments with respect to securities loans and other income derived with respect to the investment company's business of investing in stocks, securities or currencies. The IRS has ruled that income from a fund's investments in commodity futures contracts does not constitute qualifying income for purposes of the 90% test.
To address this tax constraint, the mutual fund industry has come up with an alternative structure: Under the diversification rules applicable to an investment company, that company is permitted to invest up to 25% of its assets in a wholly owned foreign subsidiary corporation. These subsidiaries, which are usually organized as Cayman Islands exempted companies, typically hold futures contracts, swap contracts and fixed income securities that serve as collateral. Generally there are no tax limitations on what they can hold. The income and gain recognized by the subsidiary each year generally constitutes ordinary income for the investment company under the "subpart F" rules applicable to "controlled foreign corporations" whether or not the subsidiary makes any actual distributions to the investment company. It should be noted that the income from the foreign subsidiary will be ordinary income for the investment company, which will result ultimately in ordinary income to the investment company shareholders when they receive their distributions. Thus, the structure is not as tax-advantageous as a partnership structure under which the partnership can take advantage of the 60-40 rule for gains on regulated futures contracts under Section 1256 of the Code, which results in 60% of the gains flowing out to investors at long-term capital gains rates.
The IRS has issued 29 separate private letter rulings to individual funds to the effect that the subpart F income resulting from these subsidiaries will be qualifying income for purposes of the 90% test even though the income of the subsidiaries if earned directly by the investment company would not be qualifying income. But the IRS recently suspended its issuance of any further private letter rulings on this subject, and is working on preparing published guidance that can be used by all taxpayers. It is anticipated that the official guidance that is ultimately issued will reach the same conclusion as did the private letter rulings, although that is not a sure thing.

I am sure many of you are aware of the coming transition to IPv6, and the corresponding global exhaustion of IPv4 (the current form of Internet addressing). In light of this, we'd like Mac users to be aware of this...
For reference, check out http://www.fud.no/ipv6/ and scroll down to "The Mac OS X Problem."
In order to best prepare for going to IPv6 and accessing dual stack sites successfully (even over IPv4) on World IPv6 Day (6/8/2011) and afterwards, you need to ensure you have the most recent version of the OS. So, if you are a Mac OS X user, you should be sure you are running 10.6.5 or later.
It is not known if 10.5 or 10.4 will get automatic updates with the recent Apple IPv6-related fix in it (we doubt it, as it does not appear to be Apple's policy to update older OS versions). So if you were considering an OS upgrade for your Mac, maybe this is the extra motivation needed. ;-)
When Comcast lights up the San Francisco bay area with IPv6, I can boot every version of Mac OS X and let you know what happens.

It will affect any and all operating systems (OSs) that use the internet. It is a change in the IP format, which is what google.com, cnn.com and all other websites translate to in numbers format.

Just ran a test on IPv6 setup.
Went into my router and saw a n IPv6 tab.
Clicked on IPv6 and then clicked on Autodetect.
Saw an IPv6 address fro the WAN side and the Lan Side
Went to a Dos Prompt and did an ipconfig and see both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Did a Ping -6 ipv6.google.net and got a good ping
Did a ping -6 iipv3.comcast.net and gailed
did a ping -6 ipv6. comcast.com and got good ping
Opened IE8 and browsed ipv6.google.com and ipv6.comcast.com
Looks like some sites are already setup to work with IPv6
Looks like Comcast DHCP servers are already serving up IPv6 addresses along with the IPv6
Also looks like my Vista based Laptop comes out of the box with IPv6 ensabled
MacIntosh folks will want to use the command ifconfig instead of iconfig to look for the ipv5 addresses
Not sure of the Mac equivalent for the IPv6 png command of ping -6
Anyone have OS X 10.5? If so -- go run our test at http://test-ipv6.comcast.net. We're considering 'helping' certain users that need to upgrade too Snow Leopard (10.6).
I have different vintages of Macs and can run all Mac OS versions for testing.*
I just need Comcast to roll out IPv6 to the San Francisco bay area.
* PowerPC and Intel Macs. Mac OS 9.x - 10.6.x
06-23-2011 09:08 PM - edited 06-23-2011 09:09 PM

Toyota won't just be adding solar panels to its popular Prius gas-electric hybrid car—like the solar electric conversion kit seen at left—it'll be powering a version of it exclusively via sunshine, according to The Nikkei, Japan's business newspaper. In fact, Toyota will be relying on the solar-electric car to "turn around its struggling business," which resulted in its first operating loss in more than 70 years, the Associated Press reports.
ScientificAmerican.com and other media outlets reported last summer that Toyota was planning to begin selling a Prius with some solar panels as early as May of this year. But the latest reports are that the Japanese automaker is seeking to build a totally solar-driven vehicle.
Toyota declined to comment—and denied the existence of such a vehicle to All Cars Electric—but, in any event, such a car would not be ready for sale for years. That may be because it would be tough to keep the price down— not to mention to draw enough power to fully fuel a car—with photovoltaics spread across its body, even if manufacturers used the superefficient, super-expensive ones employed on satellites.
Still, the news is a possible ray of sunshine for an alternative-fuel car market deflated by word that hybrids led the decline in U.S. vehicle sales last year and that the Challenge Bibendum—an alternative car show sponsored by Michelin—set to be held in Rio de Janeiro this year will be delayed until at least 2010 because of "increasing financial constraints of several of Challenge Bibendum's traditional partners."
Despite the setbacks, however, interest and enthusiasm for new energy efficient and environmentally friendly transportation modes remains strong among automakers and governments. And some enterprising folks have used Toyota Prius's as emergency generators this winter or tiny Tango EVs (for electric vehicle) to plow their driveway:
It certainly seems that electric propulsion is vying to regain the power it ceded to gasoline engines a century ago. Major manufacturers such as 3M and Johnson Controls have formed a consortium with U.S. government labs to develop longer lasting, more powerful batteries for such vehicles and innovative start-ups, such as U.S.-based Better Place and China's BYD Motor are working on both the infrastructure and the cars themselves (though Warren Buffett-backed BYD won't begin selling its F3DM electric car, already available in China, until 2011 in the U.S.).
So the question remains: how will these cars get their juice? Electricity direct from the sun via photovoltaics or intermediaries like the wind? Or electricity produced by burning fossilized sunshine in the form of coal? Either way you look at it, really, the Toyota Prius is already largely fueled by solar energy, just a much dirtier form.

The author of the given message tried to offer to car factories to master manufacture of the converter of a thermal energy of an environment in a constant electrical current. The breadboard model of the converter exists.
Such converter completely excludes necessity of burning of fuel, works round the clock and continuously.
At cost, commensurable with cost of the solar battery he gives out of energy in 300 times more. The converter by the area of one square meter located under a roof of the car, allows, even without accumulators, in a continuous mode, to give back in the electric drive of wheels up to 80 kw. At presence of the accumulator, in conditions of urban driving, the maximal capacity which is given back in the electric drive, can reach(achieve) 400 kw.

Can auto manufactures come up with any more lame brain excuses for not mass producing electric cars? Do any of these idiot auto manufactures ever read Scientific America, Popular Mechanics, or watch How Its Made? We need to get rid of these three big idiot fool manufacturers in America and turn Japan into an auto manufacturer and pay them whatever they need to start mass producing electric cars for the world, or at least for America.

The hybrid's charge-control computer and fossil-fueled auxiliary power plant could service the residence as an auxiliary power source if neded, and the residential solar array could, in turn, recharge the vehicle while it sits in the garage. If the vehicle's power-pack were designed to be readily interchanged, one could keep a set of batteries "topped-off" at all times, or better yet, just buy two cars and charge one while the other is in use.

And in Russia, as well as in USA, nobody the source of renewed energy with specific cost in 300 times interests, than solar battery and working round day without any batteries less.
It would not be desirable to address to the Japanese or in China, but will come!
It is great to see research finally being put into use by older Japanese companies and start-up American groups, as seen in Mondays article, Toyota to offer car powered by the sun? Although a exclusively solar cars functionality may be questionable due to erratic weather patterns in most areas of the world, those who can afford one will most likely have a backup car for rainy days. Infrastructure will be very important in order to shift the world from gas stations to battery stations.
As a high school sophomore who is interested designing cars, I feel that advancing new car designs is going to be very important in keeping a clean Earth in the years to come. With population always on the rise, more and more cars will be on the roads. These cars need to be cleaner, quieter, and less wasteful than the vehicles we currently use or even more conflicts will occur between nations of the world. With Toyota releasing the design for the 2010 Prius this week, which includes a solar roof to help lift the strain off of the battery and achieve well over 50 MPG, it is clear that there are still people that care about having a natural Earth.
Keep up the great work, brainiacs!

NEWTON COUNTY - A Newton County pastor is in jail awaiting bond after family members say he shot and killed his nephew outside his church.
The Newton County Sheriff's Office has confirmed Luther Jones is in jail on a murder charge, but would not release further details.
The shooting happened around 10:30 a.m. Sunday at Belgrade Baptist Church in the 4400 of FM 1416 near Kirbybille in Newton County.
Juanita Jones, the victim's sister, told 12News that Curtis Paul Jones, 34, of Bon Wier, was shot at least three times as he arrived at the church.
Many in the community surrounding the church know both the pastor and his nephew.
"It just don't make sense. Because they are both good people. For real, they're both real good people," James Hanks, a friend of the family said Sunday.
Family members of the Jones' said Curtis had recently been released from prison and that there had been a feud going on long before the shooting. They also said Curtis was going to church to get his life back on track.
A motive for the shooting has not been released by officials.
An autopsy has been ordered.

Just try it...you'll know. Don't blame me if your heart explodes though I did it the other day b/c I wasn't by my stash an hour before I lifted so 15 minutes before I went to lift I dissolved 2 in water and slurped it down.
Hits you hard!
If you can't take it regularly 1 hour before you can still get a good workout on RPM.

Comparatively Speaking: Wetting vs. Superwetting
By: Anthony J. O'Lenick Jr., Siltech LLC
Posted: February 2, 2011
In this edition of "Comparatively Speaking," industry expert Tony O'Lenick discusses the terms wetting and superwetting in relation to the ability of a surfactant to wet a substrate.
The terms wetting and superwetting both relate to the ability of a surfactant to wet a substrate but the substrates being wetted in each test are fundamentally different and often confusing to the cosmetic formulator. Superwetting is a term generally applied to the ability of a drop of surfactant to spontaneously spread on a paraffin surface.1 This type of spreading is important in agricultural applications when fertilizer or herbicide is sprayed on a waxy leaf plant. The compounds demonstrating this phenomenon are trisoloxanes (see Figure 1). This type of wetting is generally not of interest to the cosmetic formulator, but the commonality in the terms can be confusing.
Wetting is a term that, when used by the cosmetic formulator, refers to hair and skin rather than paraffin, and is measured by a dynamic method such as the Draves wetting test.2 There is often a significant difference in the behavior of an aqueous solution of a particular surfactant as measured by these two types of tests, even when both substrates are hydrophobic. The superior behavior of the trisiloxane derivatives on hydrophobic substrates has been called superwetting or superspreading by a number of investigators of the phenomenon.3 Table 1 shows the comparison of a trisiloxane to a dimethicone copolyol. While the structure of the trisiloxane is given above, the structure of dimethicone copoylol is shown in Figure 2.
As Table 1 shows, the trisoloxane drop superwetter at 0.1% by weight spontaneously spreads to 56 times its original diameter on paraffin. None of the dimethicone copolyols can do this. Trisiloxane is unique in this regard. When evaluated on cotton using the Draves method, the wetting times of the low molecular weight dimethicone copolyol is similar to the trisiloxane. Formulators looking for wetting agents for hair care and skin care can use the low molecular weight dimethicone copolyols for their formulations.
M. Rosen,4 perhaps the best known expert in surfactant technology, along with his associate, Song, have studied the difference between wetting and super wetting and have concluded:

The ability to grow employee headcount in an environment where labor costs are rising also shows strength in these Top Ten states' small business economies.
At the same time, small business employees in these growth states can also view these economic results positively - jobs are available to them and salaries are rising. While employees in other states did experience salary growth in 2006, the job growth in most states was flat or declining in 2006.

Links Round-up 12.6.12
- Who Destroyed This Iconic African-American Mural In Philadelphia? (The Atlantic Cities)
So why did it mysteriously disappear?
Staffers at MAP and a local outpost of the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development have established a spotty timeline. Sometime around May somebody defaced the mural with graffiti – which is darkly funny, given that MAP began in the '80s as an anti-tagging initiative. Whoever owned the mortgage "decided the best thing to do was paint it over" during the summer, says Lisa Wolfe at HUD's Office of Public Housing.
But the property went into foreclosure with HUD reassuming the mortgage in September, and Wolfe says she doesn't know who requested the monochromatic paint job. The blackout was discovered this week when people tweeted and called MAP to complain – not an infrequent way for the program to learn about defacement, given the sheer number of artworks it's sponsored throughout the city.
It wasn't the first impromptu mural makeover. A couple years ago a city work crew, mistaking a fresh painting along the subway line for graffiti, marched out and covered it up. This summer, an anonymous agitator lobbed black paint at former mayor Frank Rizzo's portrait in the Italian Market. And sometimes developers will intentionally cover up a mural, knowing that "there's nothing we can do," says MAP's Thora Jacobson.
- For Young Latino Readers, An Image Is Missing (The New York Times)
Hispanic students now make up nearly a quarter of the nation's public school enrollment, according to an analysis of census data by the Pew Hispanic Center, and are the fastest-growing segment of the school population. Yet nonwhite Latino children seldom see themselves in books written for young readers. (Dora the Explorer, who began as a cartoon character, is an outlier.)
Education experts and teachers who work with large Latino populations say that the lack of familiar images could be an obstacle as young readers work to build stamina and deepen their understanding of story elements like character motivation.
While there are exceptions, including books by Julia Alvarez, Pam Muñoz Ryan, Alma Flor Ada and Gary Soto, what is available is "not finding its way into classrooms," said Patricia Enciso, an associate professor at Ohio State University. Books commonly read by elementary school children — those with human characters rather than talking animals or wizards — include the Junie B. Jones, Cam Jansen, Judy Moody, Stink and Big Nate series, all of which feature a white protagonist. An occasional African-American, Asian or Hispanic character may pop up in a supporting role, but these books depict a predominantly white, suburban milieu.
- What Would Jesus Shoot? (The Daily)
In Texas, where it's legal to carry guns into any church without a specific no-firearms policy, Heights Baptist in remote San Angelo began offering concealed carry classes in June. The class was a response to security concerns among congregants.
"We're about 150 miles from the border with Mexico and we're very unsure about our insecure borders — about what's coming into our cities," Pastor James Miller told NRA News. "Personally, I feel more secure that should our worship time be interrupted by a life-threatening intrusion, that we would at least stand some kind of a chance in stopping either a mass killing or terrorizing experience."
Preacher Jeff, as Marengo Christian's Copley is called by his flock, likewise emphasizes the spiritual importance of being able to defend oneself.
"Jesus advises his disciples to sell their cloak and buy a sword," he told The Daily. "He instructed his people to be prepared to defend themselves. It's really hard to find someone in our congregation that doesn't shoot somehow."
"I was sitting at work; I got a phone call from my car company, from the loan. And they asked me if I planned on going forward with the bankruptcy that I'd filed on June 22nd. This was completely out of the blue, I hadn't gone to the court to file, so I had no idea what they were talking about," Azibo said.
He rushed to the federal courthouse in downtown Los Angeles and asked whether someone had filed for bankruptcy under his name. A clerk handed him a folder with documents containing signatures that were not his.
The report listed that he was single and that he owned a Honda Accord, a property in San Diego and another in Carson. None of that was true. He discussed this with one of the agents at the bankruptcy court-and soon they realized that someone else had filed for him. Unfortunately, the court told him, his case is typical.
That was one of the best murals in the city. I can't believe that someone would disrespect it, and the artist, by tagging it. There are better ways to clean up graffiti than with black paint.
Most of them are unsightly and tacky (the examples of "ugly" murals are actually infinitely better than the obnoxious ones that you can see on the MFL on the way to and from 69th St).
So many people misinterpreted that NYTimes article. I tried to get people to understand what they were trying to say but hardly anyone got it.

The Paris Summer Program offers an engaging and practical course of study for students and graduates interested in international and comparative law. All instruction is in English. The 2012 Paris Summer Program curriculum includes these offerings:Drafting International Contracts (2 credits) Professor Jane E. Scott
This course provides intensive instruction in the drafting of commercial contracts in an international context. Students learn how to translate a business deal into contract terms, how to organize those terms into a coherent contract, and how to draft clearly, precisely, and efficiently. Students also explore the special considerations that arise in international transactions, including choice of law, choice of forum, and dispute resolution. Drafting skills are developed and assessed through regular in-class drafting exercises and weekly graded drafting assignments of increasing complexity. Grades are based in part on graded drafting exercises and in part on a final exam.
International Business Transactions ( 2 credits) Professor G. Ray Warner
This course is designed to introduce the student to some of the major legal issues that arise in doing business across national boundaries. Among the topics to be considered are the international sale of goods and services, foreign investment, technology transfer, national, regional and international regulation of international trade, extraterritoriality, the European Union, and doing business in developing countries. Grades are based upon a final examination and class participation.Comparative Criminal Law (2 credits) Professor Elaine M. Chiu
This course takes a comparative look at substantive criminal law by studying the varying approaches of different nations to common difficulties in penal laws. Specific topics may include the rationales for punishment, the role of victims, omissions, consent, necessity, mental illness, hate crimes, etc. The laws of several countries will be considered. In learning these varying approaches, students will be improving their abilities to critically analyze doctrinal law and to recognize important differences in policy and philosophy as they concern criminal justice.
For more information on the Paris Summer Program, please contact us. To apply to the program, please complete and return the application form.
