Venetia Greenhalgh has become weary of reading third-party accounts of what Mormons believe, since she finds it so rarely aligns with what is followed by the local Mormon population here in the Berkshires.
"I don't know why people don't want to ask an actual Mormon," she said. "Why read books by non-Mormons to find what Mormons believe? If you wanted to know what Jews belive you'd ask a Jew, or Christians, you'd ask a Christian. People have the idea that there aren't any Mormons around here, but we're here, we're just quiet. Which is funny; we're the ones that have full-time missionaries. In other places of the country, people think we're too vocal."
Here in the Berkshires, Greenhalgh estimates that roughly 70 fellow Mormons attend church with her every Sunday. Previously, the church had split to include those members in Williamstown who couldn't get to Pittsfield, holding some services in a space in the Holiday Inn.
But after those few families with no transport left the area, the group reconsolidated six months ago at a building in Pittsfield, now serving people from Williamstown down to Great Barrington.
"Our normal Sunday service is a sacrament meeting," explained church counselor Robb White. "The main focus of that meeting is to partake of the sacrament. We have bread and water --we don't partake of alcohol -- to remember Jesus died for our sins. In addition we have an opening hymn/prayer, closing hymn/prayer, and after sacrament, two or three different speakers to teach us something about doctrine."
White estimates that there are 3500 Mormons in Western Massachusetts, and is quick to praise their community service. "When we had the tornados that came through," he recalled, "because of the way we're organized, we were able to organize instantly. We went through communities in the Springfield area with chainsaws, rakes, all sorts of tools, and for almost a year we helped peopel clean up their yards and communities free of charge, may have logged over 3000 service hours."
White notes that other organizations were also out helping out, from Baptists handing out lunches to the Knights of Columbus offering a grilling wagon, but says that the Mormon church's Relief Society is the largest women's service organization in the world. In addition, the church has an organization called Helping Hands which organizes various relief kits, give away food, etc.
The commandment to tithe, White explains, means that members of the church give 10 percent of what they make to the church, which covers all overhead for their humanitarian groups, and allows 100% of any subsequent donations to be directed to those in need. With Mitt Romney now on the national stage, Mormon ism has recently been getting more attention than usual. Greenhalgh doesn't mind the attention.
"It's amazing how many articles there are about 'I knew a guy who read a book about Mormonism, and here's crazy stuff they believe.'", she said. "I think that there have been misconceptions, but by and large it's been positive."
"We send missionaries throughout the world, but we haven't done so well with public affairs," White admitted. "I think maybe one of the bigger misunderstandings people might have is whether we're a Christian religion or not. That's something I can answer unequivocably, which we are. We believe that Jesus Christ is the savior of the world. We believe the bible, have the old testament and new testament in addition to the book of mormon which we believe is another book of Jesus Christ."
When it comes to Romney, White referred to a strict policy of political neutrality, where church leaders don't tell people how to vote, and simply have them vote their conscience.
"But we're happy there's interest in our religion, and happy to answer questions people might have," he added. Greenhalgh likewise doesn't see Romney's candidacy as an issue for the Mormon church. "I would hope that people would be over that," she explained. "I don't know why it would make any difference. I can't speak for the public at large, but he is what he is; I don't think that has much to do with his politics."
Meanwhile, Greenhalgh doesn't mind the attention if it gives her a chance to correct what she sees as common misconceptions. "I can't imagine how anyone could reach the conclusion that we're not Christian," she said. "I'm not sure what parameters there are aside from believing in Christ and living your life like him."

Shrink Rap / What to do with alienated adult son?
« on: Jan 13, 2006, 09:47:49 AM »
I have a 33 year old son, whom I believe has been alienated from me by his father. I see my son as also participating in this. He seems to have adopted all the negative views his father holds about me. Then he sets up situations that will inevitably result in a "to do" which I am sure confirms for him all of his negative beliefs about me. This has been going on since I was separated, when my son was four years old. His father broke all the visitation rules, repeatedly sued me for sole custody (which he did not get) and kept my son away from me by,for example, taking vacations with him during the only times I had vacation. His father remarried and has become extremely successful and has all the toys, etc. There are two (lovely) step sons from my ex's new wife. I had hoped that by now my son would have some insight into what happened. Instead, things are getting worse all the time. We hardly have any contact and when we do, it has to be on my son's terms. Making plans to get together is a huge struggle that usually results in an emotional fight over the telephone. Recently, he refused to tell me his arrival time, coming to visit me. After trying several times to get this information, I suggested that he not come visit me unless it was what he wanted to do and it seemed like he did not want to come. That was a first. Very difficult. I have always been available to my son. He does not value what I have to offer as a mother. It breaks my heart.

When the rest of the sharemarket rallied from early March, one stock, which had previously traded in lockstep with the market, was left behind: Infratil going backwards instead.
That's because some investors now think the company has a debt problem, the big bogey of the moment. Those investors may well think their fears are confirmed when Infratil reports a hefty bottom-line annual loss tomorrow, probably around the $200 million mark.
But Infratil is no Nuplex with recession-battered earnings. The losses will mostly be paper losses from writing down the value of its listed investments, particularly its 3.3% of Auckland International Airport, and 33% of Australia-based Energy Developments.
Most likely, Infratil will also write down the value of its British airports, which have been reporting mounting losses as the global recession bites particularly savagely in that country.
In a sense, that's all noise. A key number will be operating earnings, which should come in at about $350m, up 11% on the previous year. The underlying earnings of its key assets, such as its 51% stake in TrustPower and 66% of Wellington International Airport, continue to grow at a healthy pace. But the value of Infratil's assets does matter in the context of its bank debt.
Rob Bode, an analyst at First NZ Capital, says one of Infratil's three banking covenants is that shareholders' funds must be above 40% of total tangible assets.
In early April, Bode calculated this ratio could have fallen as low as 43.3% from 49% in September last year. Infratil had kilometres to spare within the other two operating earnings-based covenants, he reckoned. Later in April Matt Henry at Goldman Sachs JBWere conducted a similar exercise and estimated shareholders' funds were sitting at about 48%.
Of the company's main $520m banking facility, a third is rolled over each year and $174m was duly extended in February. A presentation the company gave to analysts this month showed $327.4m net bank debt at March 31.
Given how gloomy the mood in global financial markets was in February, I would have thought if Infratil really was in trouble with its banks, it would have shown up then. Assuming the banks keep rolling over debt, the first major refinancing event Infratil faces is in May 2011, when $112m of its listed bonds mature.
Infratil has a total of about $750m in listed bonds, including nearly $240m in perpetual bonds, all of which rank below its bank debt, which no doubt gives its bankers considerable comfort, but which also led analysts to the conclusion Infratil is over-geared in the current environment.
All of Infratil's bonds are trading at significant discounts to face value so issuing replacement bonds now doesn't look like a viable option, but who knows how sentiment will have changed by 2011.
Acting chief executive Marko Bogoievski says the bank rollover was uneventful. "There wasn't really even a conversation," he says, although the margin Infratil has to pay has gone up, in line with margins everywhere. Nevertheless, Bogoievski says investor perception is a reality which the company must address. Rather than raising equity at huge discounts, as other companies have been doing, Infratil has been selling assets.
In April it sold Fullers Ferries for $40m, yielding an estimated $12m profit over book value, and later that month it sold properties for $23.1m, a $4.1m profit over book value.
Bogoievski says Infratil will probably exercise its put option to sell its 90% stake in Luebeck Airport in Germany back to the city. That will yield about $60m.
Another possible source of funds is Infratil's warrants which lapse in July. If exercised at $1.62 they could raise $136.7m. The shares mostly traded above that level last week, increasing the likelihood the warrants will be exercised.
While Infratil clearly has plenty of time to sort out its balance sheet, Bode's argument that the company needs to position itself to take advantage of current conditions is compelling. "Arguably, Infratil's model and the market are probably much more prospective than they have been for a long time," he says. With a deregulation-minded government, likely opportunities for private participation in infrastructure projects, and the exit of private equity buyers prepared to pay over the odds for the sorts of assets Infratil favours, "the market is ripe with opportunity".
Rob Mercer at Forsyth Barr suggests Infratil also consider selling its stakes in Energy Developments, Auckland Airport and Austral Pacific.

Ball sets NCAA record for most rushing scores
Story Topics
Question of the Day
Is President Obama's handshake with Cuban leader Raul Castro a non-issue?
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Wisconsin running back Montee Ball has broken one NCAA record and tied another.
The Football Bowl Subdivision's career record-holder for touchdowns (81) became the career leader in rushing touchdowns (74) during the first half of the Big Ten title game against Nebraska and tied the mark for most career games with two or more scores (25). Ball broke the tie with Travis Prentice of Miami (Ohio) for rushing touchdowns on a 16-yard score midway through the second quarter.
He tied Prentice's record for multi-TD games with a 9-yard run up the middle early in the third quarter.
A week earlier, Ball broke a tie with Prentice's record for career scores (78).
Ball rushed for 111 yards in the first half of Saturday night's game in Indianapolis.

Karen Sypher Found Guilty in Rick Pitino Extortion Case

Karen Cunagin Sypher Found Guilty on Six Counts of Extortion
Karen Cunagin Sypher was found guilty of extorting University of Louisille basketball coach Rick Pitino. Despite the prosecution's wishes, Sypher was released on her own recognizance until sentencing, which takes place on October 27.
- Karen Cunagin Sypher Unzipped My Pants Says Rick Pitino
- Matt Jones Twitter Feed from Rick Pitino Extortion Trial
- Rick Pitino Affair: Coach Paid for Karen Sypher Abortion
The lurid, drawn-out saga has been going on for a year, since Rick Pitino admitted to having an affair with Sypher.
Neither Karen Sypher nor Rick Pitino came out of the trial looking good, but the case hinged on prosecutors proving that Sypher intended to extort Pitino, and that she lied about his having raped her.
Sypher showed no signs of emotion as the verdict was read. Her son, Jacob, wouldn't talk to reporters, but as he and his mother were leaving, he told prosecutors: "Thanks for taking my mother away, guys." He then clapped sarcastically.

The Indiana Water Resources Research Center
Indiana has a plentiful water supply which includes 35,673 miles of rivers and streams, over 105,000 acres of publicly owned lakes, reservoirs and ponds and 59 miles of Great Lakes shoreline. Yet we continue to struggle to find ways to manage our water so that we will meet increasing demands for more reliable, cleaner water and to restore, preserve, and maintain more of the services that our bodies of water provide including; clean drinking water, recreation, flood peak mitigation, wetland habitat, and others. In general, ground-water quality is good and groundwater is very safe. Indiana surface waters resources have undergone extensive assessment and a new surface water monitoring program administered by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management was implemented in 2001. Indiana water users withdraw approximately 10,700 million gallons of water per day from our ground and surface water resources. Surface water for energy production (water used for cooling in coal-fired power plants) accounts for the largest part (65%) of the state's total reported water use. Indiana continues to rank among the highest industrial self-supplied water users in the U.S. (2,300 Mgal/day) and together with Louisiana accounts for 32 percent of the total fresh surface-water withdrawals in the country.
Notice: The 2013 grants program is up and running. Once again, we are most interested in the Wabash River Watershed. Please visit the Funding section section for more information.

Lovezzola's tosses up a menu filled with throat-delighting pastas, subs, salads, and pizzas. More than 15 toppings, such as canadian bacon, pineapple, salami, and hamburger, are ready to complete Lovezzola's signature pizzas ($11.30+), while calzones or strombolis, both with up to three toppings ($6.49 each), also satisfy cheesy-crust cravings.

The restaurant lives by the motto "real southern cooking," and its chefs take pride in preparing each dish with the same care that their mothers would have used. Sisters even sells its unique blend of spices through an online store so that customers can re-create the restaurant's fried chicken or season their bathwater.
Groves of oaks and georgia pines reflect off the glassy surface of strategically placed water hazards at Southbridge Golf Club's 18-hole course, the grassy brainchild of renowned course architect Rees Jones. Soaring above the 6,922-yard layout, wayward golf balls may carom off of the dense population of timbers, nestle into the pillowy sands of deep bunkers, or sink into the abyss of ponds, streams, and lava pits that come into play on nearly every hole. Large greens await at the end of each hole, eager to befuddle golfers with breaking putts and a fast, well-maintained surface. An onsite driving range nurtures golfers relationships with their clubs, and a menu of fresh meat, seafood, and salad at the genteel diner of Vickery's at Southbridge curbs hunger that may sap strength from drives or preempt post-round putter-jousting competitions.
Course at a Glance:
Vibrant groves of trees and gardens provide a scenic backdrop for year-round driving range practice and miniature golf at Tualatin Island Greens. At the range, 43 synthetic hitting bays (including 25 covered and 12 heated stations) look out onto a vast field with plenty of real estate for Herculean drives and accuracy-testing target areas, including a green surrounded by a moat to keep area lawn gnomes from stealing the flagstick. The range also features target flags at 20, 30, and 40 yards to facilitate short-game practice or serve as the destination for balls hit out of the practice sand trap.
Water trickles over a tiny canyon of bedrock that runs alongside Tualatin Island Greens' mini-golf course. The 18-hole course is situated in the shade of towering pines that, paired with its well-manicured gardens, instill peace of mind as players read tricky slopes and avoid obstacles such as Lilliputian ponds, sand traps, and Olympic track hurdles. Golfers can improve their par-hunting prowess past sunset, as the entire complex has lights for nighttime use. Tualatin's Island Grill is also onsite to keep appetites at bay with burgers, chicken wings, and other savory fare.
You would think that a restaurant inside one of The Hill's 200-year-old historic homes would have a menu steeped in traditional American cuisine. But that's not the case with Blue Mermaid Island Grill, which instead serves the sweet, spicy food of the Caribbean. Popular dishes include everything from guava-braised short ribs to a New World paella with chicken, shrimp, mussels, and sausage in curried rice. Chefs can prepare many menu items vegetarian or gluten-free.
Blue Mermaid Island Grill also has full bar service, including eight rotating craft-beer taps and margaritas in nine flavors. Cocktails contribute to an upbeat vibe—which landed it a feature on Food Network's Rachel Ray's Tasty Travels—as does live music four nights a week with both professional and local musicians. The indoor and outdoor dining areas are decorated with pieces from local artists, adding to the grassroots vibe and relieving owners Scott and Karen Logan of trying to pull off a major museum heist.

Wild Boar (inoshishi)
Wild Boar (inoshishi, Japan)
***** Location: Japan, other regions
***** Season: Late Autumn
***** Category: Animal
The ancestor of the farmer's pig, this wild one roams the forests of all of Japan, excluding Hokkaido, so they say. It sleeps during the daytime and comes out the feed in the evening. It likes small animals like mice, earthworms and river crabs, but also feeds on rice and other grains, fruit and nuts. The farmers of course do not like to share their rice harvest with the wild boars. Smile at the story of old Basho and his fellow farmers below, not much different from my life in the mountains here !
Nowadays, all rice fields in my area are sourrounded by electric fences or metal fences. But since the boars easily jump more than one meter, it does not help much. After the typhoon in September 2005, we have them as twighlight visitors on the fields around the home and spend supper listening to them shoving through the nearby bamboo grove, making eerie sounds as they waddle past.
During the Edo period, poor country people started eating the meat of this "whale of the forest" and called the meat peony (botan). The meat of deer was maple leaf (momiji) and that of the horses was called cherry blossoms (sakura). Thus the pious Buddhists could pretend to eat vegetarian. The raw meat is arranged on the plate to look like a peony flower, see below. It is then put in a broth and boiled together with vegetables.
I remember a "Wild boar party" when our local hunter had shot one animal and invited all the neighbourhood to participate in its decimation. The carcass was placed on his pickup truck in the garden and everyone could cut his favorite piece, eat it raw with garlic (sashimi), boil it to stew in a large pot or eat it in noodle soup, barbeque it or whatever. The taste of raw wild boar bacon was quite delicious ! By the time all had eaten for 6 hours or more, not much than the tail was left of the animal. Even the bones had disappeared in some stomach. And the whole boiled head was a special delicacy, with eyeballs and all eaten...

Genjuan no ki 幻住庵記 ( The Hut of the Phantom Dwelling )
By Matsuo Basho
..... my grass hut.
Mountain home, traveler's rest-call it what you will, it's hardly the kind of place where you need any great store of belongings. A cypress bark hat from Kiso, a sedge rain cape from Koshi-that's all that hang on the post above my pillow. In the daytime, I'm once in a while diverted by people who stop to visit.
The old man who takes care of the shrine or the men from the village come and tell me about the wild boar who's been eating the rice plants, the rabbits that are getting at the bean patches, tales of farm matters that are all quite new to me.
And when the sun has begun to sink behind the rim of the hills, I sit quietly in the evening waiting for the moon so I may have my shadow for company, or light a lamp and discuss right and wrong with my silhouette.

Here's the Inoshishi of Japan aka Yamakujira. Inoshishi translates "lion of Ino", and Yamakujira translates "mountain whale". Both names reflect the Japanese view of these creatures as being large and fierce. My son took these pics in downtown Kobe while walking to his college.
Wild Boars in Kobe City
December 2010
In many parts of Japan, wild boars are becoming a great nuisance, since the hunters are too few and old (or dead), but the boars thrive in the abandoned fields of remote villages.

Our neighbour puts out stuffed animals in winter. They are mounted on some bicycle wheels and spin around . . .
Some come close to my own daily walk up to the mailbox. We have put up some pinwheels to distract them, but it seems not effective. They are slowly destroying the steep slopes to the neighbours and between the fields.

sotobori ni rin to inoko no kagari kana
by the outer moat
bonfires strong and forceful --
night of the wild boar
Tr. Chris Drake
The hokku is from the 10th month (November) of 1815, when Issa, living in his hometown, is back in greater Edo on a three-month visit. The hokku evokes the night of the first Day of the Wild Boar in the 10th month, the month governed by the wild boar according to Sino-Japanese zodiacal calendrical thought.
On this day people of all classes eat special rice cakes believed to increase fertility and protect against disease. They also light hearths, ovens, leg and hand warmers, and other fires for winter and spring use. Edo castle uses the occasion to display of its power and magnificence by lighting large, bright bonfires in iron baskets hanging at key points in and around the castle and at the gates in the wall at the inner ends of two bridges that cross the outer moat. On a practical level, the bonfires are used to light the way for daimyo domain lords and shogunal officials who live outside the moat as they arrive at around sundown to attend an obligatory celebration in the castle on the night of the first Day of the Wild Boar.
All daimyo lords and shogunal officials, including those who live inside the outer moat, are required to attend this celebration, during which they symbolically acknowledge their subservience and pledge once more their fealty to the shogun by accepting fancy rice cakes made from newly harvested rice. The lords and officials and their men are in their most formal clothes and closely follow strict protocol as they go through the gate. Both the lords and the hanging bonfires are imposing, yet there is something utterly serious and as cold as the November night about the whole scene. Issa, who must be standing outside the outer moat, seems to realize that the bonfires are as much for spectacle and for use in identifying each attendee at this mandatory event as they are for simple illumination and that this gravitas and well-lit formal precision are a consciously used image of power itself.

In the Hooge Veluwe, the national park near where I teach, the population of wild boar has increased tenfold and more, so much so that hunting clubs requested permission to shoot down a couple of hundred to keep the population healthy. Animal rights organizations protested, so the hunts did not push through, except for the occasional kill. I do wonder, though, if at one point the park will become too small for the thousands that will still come. Some manage to break through the perimeter fence and get killed on the highway.

Thanks for the comment, Ella!
Our local hunter left no heir to his shooting ability ... so we will have more wild boars to destroy the harvest in the neighbourhood.

When the Olympic flame lit up Bath
Yesterday was not a ride day, or a race day. Due to more important engagements none of us put any miles in on our bikes. However, it was the day that the Olympic torch arrived in Bath & then travelled on to Bristol. I was in Bath so a couple of us took a ride to town to see what all the fuss was about.
The fuss was all about the individuals who were chosen to carry the flame, each for 300 metres before passing it into the next lucky runner. The city of Bath was out in it's masses & everyone took advantage of the sun to watch this once in a lifetime opportunity. Once the main procession had passed, we, along with a whole load more cyclists tagged on the back & followed for a while across town.
This was quite a surreal moment & although the real show was over the crowd continued to snap away at the renegade cyclists enjoying the ride.
We watched the flame go by one more time near the Royal Crescent where it had to make it's way through a ridiculous amount of onlookers. I'd say thousands were there, but I wasn't counting, I just knew it was near impossible to move for people. Post-procession we spent some quality time enjoying the sun. A perfect combination of bikes, sun & good friends.
This guy took the time to don his best outfit for the occasion, and proceeded to pose for photos next to his less than special bike.

This male Human individual was a member of the Jedi Order during the Jedi Civil War. He wielded a blue-bladed lightsaber in combat.
During the Jedi Civil War this Jedi was a member of the strike team sent to capture Darth Revan, alongside Bastila Shan and five others. The Jedi successfully boarded Revan's flagship and fought their way to the bridge to confront the Dark Lord. He and two of his comrades were killed when Revan's opportunistic apprentice Malak ordered his gunners to fire upon the bridge, seeking to rid himself of both his master and the Jedi.[1]

CORPUS CHRISTI - A group of Corpus Christi Army Depot workers held a protest outside of Congressman Blake Farenthold's office Wednesday afternoon.
The group of about 30 union workers were protesting cuts and furloughs they could face beginning Friday. That's when $85 billion will be slashed from federal spending unless a deal is reached in Washington.
The protesters say they're not happy with Farenthold's voting record on this issue so they want to send him a message.
But, in Washington, the two sides don't even have a negotiation scheduled until Friday.

Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: 136, placed Ingerana in Ceratobatrachidae on the basis of DNA sequence evidence. Some species formerly recognized in Micrixalus and Platymantis were placed in this genus by Dubois, 1987 "1986", Alytes, 5: 64-65, who recognized two subgenera noted in the accounts, Ingerana and Liurana. Rana tenasserimensis was included in Indirana by Laurent, 1986, in Grassé and Delsol (eds.), Traite de Zool., 14: 761. This genus was not recognized as distinct from Micrixalus by Zhao and Adler, 1993, Herpetol. China: 136, pending additional work on Chinese species. Inger, 1996, Herpetologica, 52: 241-246, noted that Liurana was diagnosed on a characteristic that has been noted only in one of the three species assigned to the subgenus. Fei, Ye, and Huang, 1997, Cultum Herpetol. Sinica, 6-7: 77-79, ranked Liurana as a genus—not followed here because not all species can be sorted among the two taxa. See comment under Rana charlesdarwini. Roelants, Jiang, and Bossuyt, 2004, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 31: 735, suggested that Ingerana is in Occidozyginae, only distantly related to Ceratobatrachini. Fei, Ye, Huang, Jiang, and Xie, 2005, Illust. Key Chinese Amph.: 147-149, provided a key to Chinese species of Liurana. Dubois, 2005, Alytes, 23: 4, suggested without presenting evidence that Liurana is a synonym of Limnonectes (as Taylorana; in Dicroglossinae). Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: 236, discussed the status of Liurana, and provisionally retained it a synonym of Ingerana, pending the appearance of published evidence in support of its placement. Bossuyt, Brown, Hillis, Cannatella, and Milinkovitch, 2006, Syst. Biol., 55: 579-594, provided largely similar results, but although they placed Ingerana baluensis (the same exmplar used Frost et al., 2006) as the sister taxon of the remaining ceratobatrachids, their found Ingerana tenasserimensis (the type species of Ingerana) to be in Dicroglossidae and they found at least one species of nominal Platymantis (papuensis) far from other species of Platymantis, thereby suggesting its nonmonophyly. Although it is clear that at least Ingerana tenasserimensis should be in Dicroglossidae, it is not clear what component of "Ingerana" (including "Ingerana" baluensis) should remain in Ceratobatrachidae. Should Ingerana (type species Rana tenasserimensis Sclater, 1892) be placed in Occidozyga, the effect would be to render the bulk of the remaining taxon as Liurana. But the whole group is currently in a terrible state of taxonomic/phylogenetic disarray (DRF). Wiens, Sukumaran, Pyron, and Brown, 2009, Evolution, 63: 1217-1231, corroborated that recognition of Ingerana renders Occidozyga paraphyletic, as did Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, although this paraphyly was remedied by the transfer of Occidozyga borealis to Ingerana by Sailo, Lalremsanga, Hooroo, and Ohler, 2009, Alytes, 27: 1-12.

The Indian Point nuclear power plant sits on the eastern shore of the Hudson River 35 miles north of New York City. On October 15, a three-judge panel hears evidence on whether the plant should operate for another 20 years. At issue is Indian Point's ability to handle the challenges of aging, as well as its cost estimates for dealing with a meltdown. But what's really at stake is whether nuclear power has a future near the Big Apple.
The two operating reactors on the site produce roughly 17,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity each year. A new report from the Natural Resources Defense Council argues that this electricity could be replaced nearly for free. In fact, the report argues, New York State is already building a new transmission line that will bring in enough power to replace a quarter of the nuclear-generated electricity. But analyses by plant owner Entergy suggest the changeover would come with a hefty bill.
All parties agree that a shutdown would see an increased role for natural gas—meaning more carbon emissions, exacerbating climate change. Whatever the decision, a warmer future is coming—which means more energy demand to cool off summer in the city. Wouldn't it be nice if that power came without the promise of more heat?
—David Biello
[The above text is a transcript of this podcast.]
* Clarification (10/17/12): It is not the NRDC's position that a shutdown of Indian Point nuclear power plant would necessarily require the addition of new natural gas power plants. In fact, their new report lays out a blueprint for how Indian Point's power could instead be replaced by a combination of energy efficiency and renewables at low cost. At the same time, the report does note that, in all likelihood, more natural gas power plants will be built in New York State over the next decade and contribute to the region's electricity supply.

NEWPORT Gwent Dragons second row forward Ian Nimmo has signed a loan agreement with London Irish.
The 28-year-old, who made 16 starts for the Gwent region last season, joins the Exiles as cover for George Skivington and Kieran Low and has been named on the bench for tomorrow's Aviva Premiership match against Exeter Chiefs.
Nimmo, an imposing figure at 6'7" and close to 19 stone, joined the Dragons from the Cornish Pirates in July 2012 but he has fallen behind Matthew Screech and Wales caps Andrew Coombs, Adam Jones and Rob Sidoli at Rodney Parade.
He played for Harlequins A in their fixture against Bath last week.
Nimmo was also once on the books of Leicester Tigers and represented Scotland at under-21 level.
London Irish director of rugby, Brian Smith said: "We are really looking forward to having Ian onboard. He will bring plenty of size and experience to our pack in the short term absence of George and Kieran."

Due to some unforseen complications during a routine maintenance, we've had to temporarily disable access to subversion repositories in order to do rollbacks on a subset of repositories.
Update 12:42am CST / 06:42 UTC:
All affected repositories have been restored to their latest backups from this sunday and access to repositories have been restored. Unfortunately, that is the most recent backup we have where we know the issue not to be present. All affected repositories have had their UUID changed, so you will have to do a fresh checkout. This was done to prevent any corruption of server side repositories, due to limitations in how svn handles revisions.
The easiest way to restore any commits made since sunday is take your old checkout, remove the .svn folder(s) and copy it on top of the fresh checkout, and then commit it.
We're very sorry about this situation, and are still investigating what went wrong during the maintenance to cause this.
What svn command should we use to roll back changes to a particular date in subversion? Is it the svn merge or the svn revert or something else. http://www.bancdeswisstest.com/

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
Dispatcher Kerrie Ruppert wasn't sure what to think when she answered the call that came into the Fayetteville 911 communications center on Feb. 6.
"I don't think my wife's going to make it," a man said.
A woman could be heard screaming in agony.
"The first thing I thought was this woman is dying in the car," Ruppert said.
The woman - 30-year-old Brandy Lee - was, in fact, having a baby. In her husband's Lincoln Navigator off Bragg Boulevard near the Interstate 295 construction site.
"She won't stop pushing," said her husband, Brandon Lee, 31.
About six minutes later, the Lees welcomed their daughter, Briyah. She weighed 7 pounds, 12 ounces and was 20 inches long.
Delivering a baby was something Brandon, a civilian contractor, never dreamed he'd be doing.
"There are certain things in your life you know you're not going to do, and that was one of them," he said.
About 4:30 p.m. that day, Brandy's water broke while she was sitting on the couch in the family room of their home in Cameron.
The contractions were becoming more regular, and the couple knew it was time to head to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, Brandon said.
Their vehicle was packed, so they got their 16-month-old son, Brandon Jr., and put him in the Navigator and headed toward Fayetteville.
By that time, Brandy said, the contractions were every 30 seconds to a minute.
"I thought, 'I'm not going to make it,' " she said.
The trip to Fayetteville seemed to take forever, Brandon said. Every traffic light caught them as they were coming through Spring Lake, he said.
They had passed the Knox Street gate to Fort Bragg when Brandy told her husband to pull over.
"I knew that baby was coming out," she said.
Brandon pulled off the road and dialed 911. A dispatcher in training answered. She quickly handed the call to Ruppert when Brandon said his wife was in labor.
An audio recording of the call shows that Ruppert and Brandon remained calm, allowing the birth to happen smoothly and quickly.
Or as smoothly as possible in a vehicle pulled to the side of the road with a 16-month-old in the back seat who screamed each time his mother wailed in pain.
"Can you see any part of the baby?" Ruppert asks as Brandy yells in pain.
"No, I can't," Brandon replies several seconds later.
Then, Brandon tells Ruppert he thinks he sees some of the baby's hair.
"Stay on the line," Ruppert says. "Do not prevent her from having this baby. Tell her to rest in the most comfortable position. Take deep breaths and be comfortable."
Brandon calmly tells Brandy to take deep breaths.
"Yeah, I can see the head," he says as Brandy screams.
"The baby's head is almost out," Brandon says.
Ruppert tells him to support the baby's head and shoulders as it comes out.
"Remember, that baby is going to be slippery," Ruppert says. "Don't drop the baby."
Brandon continues coaching.
"Tell her she's got to push, Brandon," Ruppert says.
Several seconds go by without any voices, and suddenly Brandon says excitedly, "It's out. The baby's out."
And then, he was holding his daughter.
"She opened her eyes and looked at me," Brandon said.
He cleared her nose and mouth with his finger and found a sweater to wrap her in. He then placed her on Brandy's chest and turned the heat on full blast; it had grown chilly with the vehicle's doors open.
At Ruppert's direction, Brandon took a lace out of a shoe and used it to tie off the umbilical cord.
Then, the ambulance arrived. The paramedics congratulated the couple and took Brandy and Briyah to the hospital.
Briyah was pronounced healthy and fit. The only issue was a low core temperature, Brandon said.
When Briyah is a little older, the Lees said, they'll tell her the story. Probably many, many times.
"Yeah, I'll have to keep the Navigator after it breaks down," Brandon said. "Put it on bricks in the backyard."

Think Gov. Pat Quinn regrets getting involved in the power struggle over control of the Southern Illinois University Board?
We doubt he anticipated the firestorm he would create when he attempted to replace three well-respected metro-east board members, or expect the Senate to rebuff his nominees. Not one senator voted to approve Quinn's nominees.
Madison County Board Chairman Alan Dunstan and St. Clair County Board Chairman Mark Kern have asked Quinn to reappoint John Simmons of East Alton, Mark Hinrichs of O'Fallon and Ed Hightower of Edwardsville, and if Quinn is wise he will do so and distance himself from this fight.
Quinn's decisions were never about the good of the SIU system, it was about micromanaging the selection of the board chairman. The system is doing well, and the Edwardsville campus has had phenomenal growth during these board members' tenure. Removing them also means that the board would not have any SIUE grads on it.
Quinn so far isn't backing off. His spokeswoman said the governor's priority is to build SIU into a world-class institution. Well, it will be pretty hard to work toward that goal if Quinn continues his petty political meddling.

The history of The Fray and ABC goes all the way back to the second season of Grey's Anatomy, when their then-unknown song "How To Save A Life" was featured in the episode Superstition, and also used in previews for the third season. That usage would help launch the song all the way to #3 on the Hot 100 charts, and set the stage for it to eventually go 3 x Platinum. Now we're helping them launch their latest single, "Love Don't Die" off their fourth album, set for release in January. Click Here to get the full story on the latest from The Fray.

The cabin was great. We had 4 adults and 4 kids in the cabin. It was just right. The kids loved all hanging out together in the loft. We loved our stay. Would definitely come back again.

We had a good but chilly weekend. It was nice to have the option of going to an indoor waterpark. Our cabin was very clean and nice. We did have a group that was staying next to us that was very loud the last night of our stay and we called the front desk and within minutes security was there to tell them to be quiet. Very impressed at the response.

The villa was everything we expected and more. It was the perfect location, the kids loved the loft and the bonfire. The villa was clean and had everything we needed and more. So much better than a hotel any day! We would highly recommend this to our friends and anyone else visiting Jellystone.

GM looking to expand its Lansing Grand River plant
General Motors is considering spending nearly $40 million to expand its Lansing Grand River plant.
On Monday, the Lansing city council will consider granting tax abatements to GM.
The abatements are tied to the automaker's plan to spend $38 million to expand its Lansing Grand River plant. The expansion would add about 150 jobs.
GM already makes its Cadillac ATS at the plant. The ATS recently won the North American Car of the year award at the North American International Auto Show.
Production of the next generation Camaro is being moved to the Lansing plant as well, though there's no timetable on when the Camaro production would begin.
