I agree with the majority in all 4 questions in the survey, especially # 3. As to # 4, while I am against gay marriage, I don't believe that "any sexual expression of love between gay couples is immoral". I have to consider that homosexuals & lesbians are born with their orientation, just as I was born heterosexual. I can imagine a "parallel world" where gay was the norm, and straight was perverted. Would I stop liking girls?-Of course not! However, I believe that marriage is properly an institution between 1 man and 1 woman. Civil Unions are fine, for gay couples. Those survey answers, I feel, would be similar, here in the U.S.A.

Did Amarach (Tomorrow) Research not survey people in the east [Leinster] and west [Connacht] of Ireland, as well as north [Ulster] and south [Munster]? If the 'faithful' of the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church (HRC&AC) only conditionally be[lie]ve the Churches' dogma/doctrine, (i.e are a la carte or cafeteria Catholics), does that not mean they are not officially RC, thereby nullifying the research? That is, Roman Catholics are what the HRC&AC dic[k]tate. What people 'be[lie]ve' (sic) is largely irrelevant. What they know is far more important. Children be[lie]ve in Santa Clause and tooth fairies, largely at the insistence of their silly parents. Does that mean they exist? Ironically - yes! The more people be[lie]ve anything, the more they will it into existence. Be[lie]f is premature knowledge. Sadly, it is also deductive subjectivity in epistomologically terms. Be[lie]fs are an impediment to authentic spirituality. What do the IACP be[lie]ve?

Look at all the "defects" of birth that would be diminished.
I'm sure Mike Cleary wishes it was so in his day, so too Bishop what's his name who was sent off to Africa for R&R, I wonder if there are any 'little bishops' left behind there.
We would never know, at least Michael was faithful.

KatieMurphy if you are crazy enough to think that marriage would stop pedophile priests,you need counseling.They are two totally distinct categories ,but don't dare to confuse the two.There are enough problems already.

Just recently there was a big flap over the german pope saying never neve never re priests marrying. One would think that given the propensity of unmarried priest to rape children he would change his mind..........................In the old days they called altsheimers disease "hardening of the arteries". Now we know better about the apprent cause, but it sure sounds like Pope Bennie has a hardening of the arteries and hardening of the heart......................May he live long and a long papacy. Its obvious he was sent by God to destroy the Islamic like church of the west. hates gays, hates birth control, absolute truths etc etc.

It's a mistake to assume that a married priest would try to transfer church property to his family or that his parish would have the burden of supporting his wife and children. Among the ECUSA male priests I've known, their wives have careers and have bought homes in which to raise their children. The wives make more money than their priest-husbands. But, I suppose, wives of Catholic priests might be perennially pregnant unless the RC Church changes its teaching on contraception!

I suppose you could make the case that the Church is not much different than the Augusta National Club, and can choose who they want as part of their membership. Of course, the Vatican wants as many women members as possible, but not as priests, bishops, etc. The hypocrisy of allowing married Anglicans in while claiming marriage is a detriment to pastoral duties says it all for me.

There is no doubt that the married priesthood should be considered more strongly. There has to be some paperwork done ahead of time. If you think that the divorce proceedings involving the Los Angeles Dodgers got to be messy, what about if it involved the Archdiocese of Los Angeles? The Orthodox allows marriage for a deacon. Once he is ordained, it is not allowed. You just cannot be out there chasing women if you are the pastor. What is holding it up? Now, there have maneuvered into places of authority gay priests and lesbian nuns. That is the holdup. They want the entire "cup of tea" where marriage is "spread around the shop". Bernardin ensured the turmoil with his outlandish concept of the "seemless garment". Now, gays have a foothold and want the entire basket of fruit.

The Church is not a democracy run by politicians and polls. Although it may be entertaining for some to note the results of polls of public opinion, but they will have as much effect on Church teachings as they might on the weather. Nine out of ten people indicating a preference for sunny days will not stop the rain!

I completely agree that priests should be allowed to be married, and women should be allowed to be ordained as priests, too. From what I learned in College about the enactment of celibacy is that originally priests were allowed to be married and have children. The Church was a thousand years old before it definitively took a stand in favor of celibacy in the twelfth century at the Second Lateran Council held in 1139. This was because the Roman Catholic Church wanted to keep all the wealth within their religion... not allowing priests to pass along their wealth to their family when they passed away.

All this fuss is caused by the God's Clerk making a few spelling mistakes when taking down His Commandments. (spelcheckir hadn't been created yet!) ~ "What'll I put down for Sex? - says he. God said "Celebrate"; but the fool mis-heard and left out the 'r'. The same happened when he described Satan! The clown got his 'l' and 'n' mixed up and put Cult!

OK, Let's analyze this. I bet "the farm" that if a similar survey was conducted in the US, the remainder of Western Europe and Australia,the results would be the same if not with higher percentages.Africa, South and Central America and other places in the world where third world countries exist may be different as the populance in these countries probably don't have the sophistication as of yet, to see the hypocrisy and con games promulgated by the Roman Church.
Why are Episcopal priests who have wives and children allowed to become Catholic priests because of their opposing views with the Episcopal(Anglican) Church? That is; because of their homophopic and anti-women views that they share with the Roman Church. What kind of spirituality does that reflect? Shouldn't these priests be celibate as well, based on the Roman Church's rationale for single clergy?
Why is the Roman Church so adament about the evils of homosexual expression when the Roman Catholic Priesthood is one of the most obvious homosexual cultures on earth?
Finally, in an world economy where people in all walks of life want to raise their children in a wholesome lifestyle without having an unmanageable brood of children, does the Roman Church want to govern what goes on in folks' bedrooms?
The days of the Roman Church's need to ignore the cares and needs of Roman Catholics are coming to an end. The folks who blindly accept the Roman Church's nonsense are in their 70's, 80's and 90's. They soon will be gone and then the money and the blind obedience will no longer exist.
May God, who is probably despondent over what these idiots have done to his Church, help these pathetic bastards.

The United States isn't leaving anything to chance.
While it pursues a diplomatic solution to the Syria crisis by sending U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to meet with his Russian counterpart in Geneva on Thursday, it has also started arming the rebels. The rebels, though, say the arms have yet to reach them.
Meanwhile, a Vladimir Putin-penned editorial in the New York Times has at least one White House official saying it's an indication the Russian President is "now fully invested in Syria's chemical disarmament." And a U.N. report says that both sides -- the regime and the rebels -- have committed war crimes in the bloody two-year-long civil war in Syria.
Here are the five things to pay attention to today.
1. Give peace a chance
As the diplomatic focus shifts to Geneva, the talks get down to the nuts and bolts of how to identify, verify and ultimately destroy the chemical weapons stockpile of the Syrian regime, a senior State Department official told CNN. Expect the sessions to last two -- possibly three -- days. A final deal may take much longer.
Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov have talked nine times since the August 21 chemical weapons attack. U.S., British and French diplomats also are hashing over the similar matters in New York.
These are complicated matters with competing interests. Expect any final deal to go to the U.N. Security Council to be put into a formal resolution.
And to add to the intrigue, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius says the U.N. report on last month's attack will "probably" be published Monday. And there will "certainly be indications" pointing the origin of the attack towards the Assad regime, he said in a radio interview Thursday.
Looming over the talks is the military strike card that President Barack Obama continues to hold. He asked Congress this week to put the authorization on hold, but the card isn't going back in the deck just yet.
"This is the way that diplomacy works," said former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright , who was America's top diplomat in the Clinton administration. "You use the threat of the use of force to get some action in diplomacy, and then diplomacy just to figure out what you do about the threat of the use of force."
Still, it doesn't give the White House a lot of wiggle room.
"If diplomacy fails, he's painted himself into a corner," Democratic Sen. Lindsey Graham says. "The leader of the free world can't say all these things at the end of the day and do nothing."
2. Rebels get their guns
These things don't happen quickly. It was back in June that officials familiar with the matter told CNN the United States planned to send small arms, ammunition and potentially anti-tank weapons to Syria's rebels. Concerns over just who the White House could trust kept the process on the slow track. But no more.
Funded and organized by the CIA, the weapons begain getting to moderate Syrian rebels two weeks ago, a U.S. official tells CNN.
"A coordinated effort is being made among the many supporters of the moderate opposition to get them the assistance they need," Kerry said during a Google+ Hangout discussion this week.
Not so, the opposition groups said Thursday. The Syrian National Coalition and the Free Syrian Army deny they have received weapons.
"We have some promises from the U.S. administration of shipment of weapons in a short period of time, but until now we have not received any," said Free Syrian Army Political and Media Coordinator Louay al-Mokdad.
We're waiting to see what the White House has to say about that.
3. Business as usual
Obamacare. Government funding. An energy efficiency bill. Relieved of an impending vote on whether to give the president the authorization to attack Syria, Congress is moving onto other matters.
Yet, Syria continues to bubble under the surface.
"Congress will be watching these negotiations very closely," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warns. "If there is any indication they're not serious or they're being used as a ploy to delay, then Congress stands ready to return to that Syria resolution" that would authorize a military strike on Syria. Whether the votes are there to approve such a resolution is another matter.
But for now, there's a different deadline looming over Congress. No spending plan by early October and we could be looking at a government shutdown.

About DB5
The Aston Martin DB5 is perhaps this British sports car manufacturer's most famous model thanks to its iconic appearance in Goldfinger alongside Sean Connery.
While it was only in production for two years between 1963 and 1965, with just over a thousand examples rolling out of the factory, it has remained an iconic representation of sporting style of the decade in which it emerged.
The DB5 was based heavily on the preceding DB4 Series V, although it did feature a number of unique elements which set it apart from its predecessor.
The 4.0 litre engine, fashioned largely from aluminium, was one of these advancements. It gave the car 282bhp and allowed it to reach a top speed of 145mph and Aston Martin was so confident in the new power plant that it adopted it as its first choice for many future models.
While its performance was impressive, the DB5 also made a big impression thanks to the luxurious nature of its interior. It had electric windows, thick woollen carpets, seats which could actually recline and a number of other advanced elements.
Early models all have a four speed manual gearbox, although a five speed replacement soon became the standard. There was also a DB5 with an automatic transmission offered.
While the DB5 was only created for a brief period, it did arrive in a couple of distinct variants. The DB5 Vantage, for example, was a high performance version of the original, of which only 65 were ever produced.
It was also possible to buy a convertible edition of the DB5 and these were denoted as Volantes, which would go on to be the name that Aston Martin applied to many of its future soft tops.
Perhaps the oddest and rarest version of the DB5 was the Shooting Brake, which was effectively an Estate car produced expressly for David Brown, the man whose initials are recognised in the DB range. He wanted room to put his dogs and hunting gear in the back, which explains the unusual setup featured.
Interestingly the famous DB5 which featured in 1964's Goldfinger was actually the first ever prototype of the car produced and it helped to make Aston Martin one of the most sought-after manufacturers around.

Looking for an Intern?
Please contact:
Internship Program Director Melinda Jackson if you would like to extend a job offer to our students
Direct number: 408 924-5293
Dept. fax: 408 924-5556
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Interns receive academic credit for their service. They are required to work at least
10 hours per week at their internship on a fixed schedule worked out with you. You'll
need to be flexible enough to allow them to meet their other obligations. They'll
need a specified supervisor (you or a member of your staff) as well as some specific
responsibilities. Interns meet with internship director on a monthly basis; he'll
probably also visit you in your office.
Melinda Jackson talks with interns about their interests (level of government, campaign, elected official or community group, policy areas, etc.) and she suggests a placement if they don't already have one in mind. She maintains a list of interested placements and a file of "job descriptions" which the students can look at. Students are then given contact names and numbers and they phone potential placements to arrange for an interview. Some placements treat this like a job interview, others are more casual it's up to you. If the student is acceptable, set up a work schedule and get started.
Internships usually run from the end of January through mid-May and from the end of August to Mid-December. You should plan projects and work assignments accordingly.
The supply of interns is not sufficient to meet demand. Here are some ways you can increase your chances of getting an intern:
- Give Melinda Jackson an occasional reminder of your interest.
- Provide a brief "job description" by email or fax. Make it sound interesting.
- Designate a specific project or policy area for the intern.
- Provide hourly pay or a stipend for the semester ($500-1500).
- Whenever you meet a San Jose State student, suggest that they intern with your office and refer them to Melinda Jackson. Students need not be political science students, although we encourage them to take appropriate courses like state or local politics before or in concurrence with their internship.

The Signaling and Nutrient Sensing Program supports research aimed at elucidating intracellular signals that regulate cellular responses to insulin and other hormones as well as studies that reveal the role of nutrient sensing signaling pathways in the development and/or progression of insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, Type 2 Diabetes and obesity. The identification of regulators, interacting partners, and substrates as well as elucidation of modes of signal transmission that influence biological systems impacted by diabetes, obesity and metabolic diseases is a major focus of this program. Investigations designed to reveal cross-talk between insulin signaling and the mTOR pathway, including studies examining the biochemical basis of mTOR's positive effects on cell growth and negative effects on insulin signaling should be assigned to this portfolio. Examples of specific areas of interest include: Molecular analysis of ligand binding, activation and interaction of signal relay molecules to the insulin receptor including cross-talk between signaling pathways involved in or influencing responses to insulin or other hormones; for example, intracellular kinases, phosphatases, and anchoring/scaffolding proteins. Nutrient modulation of cytoplasmic signals upstream and downstream of the mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR); including studies centered on kinases upstream of mTOR such as the class 3 phosphatidylinositol-3 kinases (PI-3K) and the AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK), mTOR-associated proteins including Raptor, GβL, PRAS40, Rictor and mSin1, and substrates such as the ribosomal S6 kinases (S6K1 and S6K2) and the 4E-binding protein (4E-BP1); as well as biochemical pathways that may intersect or impact mTOR signaling such as PKB, RSK, and ERK-mediated events modulating the function of Tuberous Sclerosis Complex proteins (TSC-1&2). Functional analysis of signaling receptors and relays to include comparisons of wild type and mutant proteins in cell culture and in genetically engineered animal models.

Published: 12/27/2012 6:28 PM | Last update: 12/27/2012 10:46 PM Untouchable NessEagles' amazing run to 8-man state title earns top story choice.There wasn't much that went wrong for Ness City football this year.Tests were few.
And games were compressed. Just three years removed from playing in the 11-man ranks, the Eagles captured the Eight-man Division I state championship by reeling off a series of merciless drubbings, proving matter-of-factly they were far and away the most dominant team in their class. In an undefeated campaign, Ness City ended nine games early by way of the 45-point mercy rule, played just 38 quarters in 13 games and won by an average margin of 43.8 points. Because of that supremacy, Ness City's remarkable state title run is The News' area preps story of the year. They played a rare four-quarter game to earn the title of state champion, beating Mankato-Rock Hills 40-8 on Nov. 17 at Fischer Field in Newton. Amazingly, the Eagles never had much let-up over the course of the season. And it showed in another rout. "They put in so much work," Ness City coach Chris Bamberger said of his team following the championship game. "They've been on the grind all year." And for the Eagles to be the top story in a year where there were many memorable ones makes their crown extra special. Consider that Scott City won two state championships - one in basketball and another in football - in Hutchinson under the leadership of coach Glenn O'Neil. Add in basketball state titles for the Sterling boys and McPherson girls. Heck, some of those same Bullpups helped win a Kansas Class 4A state volleyball championship in the fall. Then there was Sydnee Eck who, before leading Andale to a softball title, threw an incredible near-perfect game and hit a pair of home runs against Buhler in April. Quinn Dippel etched his name into the boys tennis record books by winning his third straight 4A singles crown for Smoky Valley. Meade pulled from 11 points down to upend Centralia in the 2A football championship game. The postseason efforts of Liberal boys soccer and Burrton boys basketball, which sent veteran coach Ralph Butler out on a high note, were also worthy of mention. But the Eagles' rose above the rest because their story garnered national prominence. Immediately after beating the Grizzlies for the championship, Ness City was ranked as the national No. 1 eight-man team by MaxPreps.com, a CBS Sports website for high school athletics. After all the eight-man playoffs in the country were finished, the Eagles were still pegged among the best eight-man teams in the U.S. by MaxPreps at No. 5. Not too shabby. Especially for a team that could've easily been caught up in its own grandeur, given the way it routinely blew out opponents. But that never entered into the Eagles' minds. After ripping through the regular season, Ness City was seemingly more dangerous in the playoffs playing against annual contenders Pretty Prairie and Solomon. They beat the Bulldogs and Gorillas in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively, pitching a pair of two-quarter, mercy-rule shutouts to put themselves on the doorstep of winning a state trophy. "That's huge just to be playing your best football this time of year," Bamberger said before the championship game. "If you can do that, it allows you to have the opportunity to play in Newton." That's where the same cast of characters that had carried the Eagles all season came through again. Their small, athletic lineman out-worked Rock Hills' bigger trench players to pave ways for running backs Dalton Gantz and Garrett Flax and quarterback Koltyn Ratliff. Gantz, a 2013 Shrine Bowl invitee, was a difference-maker on offense, running for 157 yards and two touchdowns. Tucker VonLehe's punt block, which was recovered by Will Frusher for the game's first score in the second quarter, opened the floodgates for Ness City. "Neither team could grab any momentum. ... Once we got that touchdown, things started to get rolling and we finished it off," Gantz said. On defense, Blake McVicker led a swarming unit that held the Grizzlies to just 70 rushing yards. And, just like their broken record sort of year, Ness City won its trophy with lopsided panache. Afterward, the Eagles finally realized just how fantastic their run had been. "They haven't really sat down to enjoy anything yet," Bamberger said afterward. "It's time. It's time for them to enjoy it because they deserve to." THE HUTCHINSON NEWS' TOP 10 AREA PREP STORIES 1. Ness City steamrolls its way to the Kansas Eight-man Division I state championship: The Eagles don't play a ton of football - just 38 quarters in 13 games - but in doing so assert their supremacy in the eight-man ranks. The Eagles end nine games by halftime or later via the 45-point mercy rule before stomping Mankato-Rock Hills 40-8 to cap a 13-0 season. 2. Scott City wins Class 3A titles for basketball and football in Hutchinson: Led by coach Glenn O'Neil, the Beavers take home two different state trophies for their accomplishments in Hutch. They defeat Nemaha Valley 61-47 in the Sports Arena in March for the boys basketball title and, after trailing 21-0, come back to beat Silver Lake 28-21 at Gowans Stadium in November in football. 3. Sterling makes an improbable run to win the 2A boys basketball title: Entering the state tournament as the No. 6 seed, the Black Bears pull off a 64-62 overtime stunner in the first round against No. 3 seed Jefferson County North, edge No. 2 Berean Academy 50-44 and pummel previously undefeated Meade 71-49 for the championship. 4. Andale's Sydnee Eck throws near-perfect game against Buhler: The Indians' softball ace strikes out 21 of the 22 Crusader batters she faces in an incredible individual performance on April 16. Only Buhler's Natalie Sebastian reaches base, getting to first on a dropped third strike in the top of the fourth inning. Eck adds two solo home runs in the game for good measure. 5. McPherson rallies to beat Topeka Hayden for 4A volleyball crown: The Bullpups cruise to the the state tourney in Salina and shake off a first set loss to the Wildcats in the championship match for a 22-25, 25-22, 25-23 title-clinching win. 6. Quinn Dippel caps his stellar career at Smoky Valley: After committing to Creighton University in November 2011, the Vikings' senior delivers an inspired season in the spring, going 33-0 to capture his third straight 4A singles title. Dippel finishes his prep career with a 140-8 record in singles. 7. McPherson girls power their way to 4A basketball championship: Perennial contenders in 5A, the Bullpups claim their eighth state championship and first in Class 4A by snapping Holton's 51-game winning streak in a 34-27 championship game victory. 8. Meade stages comeback to upend Centralia for 2A football title: The Buffaloes rally from an 11-point deficit with the help of senior quarterback Chris Hardaway. His two TD passes in the final three minutes help secure Meade's second state title in the last three years. 9. Liberal soccer finishes as surprise runner-up in 5A: After going just 7-8-1 in the regular season, the Redskins catch fire in the playoffs. They beat Hays, Salina Central, Great Bend and KC Harmon before coming up short against Bishop Miege in the title match. 10. Burrton sends longtime hoops coach out with fourth-place state finish: In his 29th and final season with the Chargers, Ralph Butler leaves with a season to remember. His surprising team saves its best for late in the season, beating Pretty Prairie for a 1A Division sub-state title and then upsetting No. 2 seed Downs-Lakeside at the state tourney in Emporia.

Abu ʿAbdillah Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi'i (Arabic: ابو عبدالله محمد بن إدريس الشافعيّ) was a Muslim jurist, who lived from (767 — 820 CE / 150 — 204 AH). He was active in juridical matters and his teaching eventually led to the Shafi'i school of fiqh (or Madh'hab) named after him. Hence he is often called Imam al-Shafi'i. He is considered the founder of Islamic jurisprudence.[3]:1
The biography of al-Shāfi'i is difficult to trace. Dawud al-Zahiri was said to be the first to write such a biography, but the book has been lost.[4][5][6] The oldest surviving biography goes back to Ibn Abi Hatim al-Razi (died 327H/939) and is no more than a collection of anecdotes, some of them fantastic. The first real biography is by Ahmad Bayhaqi (died 458H/1066) and is filled with what a modernist eye would qualify as pious legends. The following is what seems to be a sensible reading, according to a modern reductionist point of view.
al-Shāfi'ī belonged to the Qurayshi clan Banu Muttalib which was the sister clan of the Banu Hashim to which Muhammad and the Abbasid caliphs belonged. Hence he had connections in the highest social circles, but he grew up in poverty.
767 – 786: Al-Mansur to Al-Hadi's era[edit]
Early life, studies with az-Zanji in Mecca[edit]
He was born in Gaza, near the town of Asqalan. While still a child, his father died in Syria and thus his mother decided to move to Mecca when he was about two years old. His family roots were from Yemen, and there were more members of his family in Mecca, where his mother believed he would better be taken care of. He is reported to have studied under Muslim Ibn Khalid az-Zanji, the Mufti of Mecca at his time and is considered the first teacher of Imam ash-Shafi'i.[7]
Studies with Imam Malik in Medina[edit]
He moved to Medina to teach others of the message of Islam and be taught by Malik ibn Anas. He memorized Muwatta Imam Malik at a very early age whereby Imam Malik was very impressed with his memory and knowledge.[8]
786 – 809: Harun al-Rashid's era[edit]
After that he lived in Mecca, Baghdad and finally Egypt.
Among his teachers were Malik ibn Anas and Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Shaybānī, whom he studied under in Madinah and Baghdad.
He was appointed as a judge in Najran in the time of Harun ar-Rashid. Sunnis portray that his devotion to justice, even when it meant criticizing the governor, caused him some problems, and he was taken before the Caliph, falsely accused of aiding the Alawis in a revolt. al-Shaybānī was the chief justice at the time, and his defense of ash-Shafi'i, coupled with ash-Shafi'i's own eloquent defense, convinced Harun ar-Rashid to dismiss the charge, and he directed al-Shaybānī to take ash-Shafi'i to Baghdad. He was also a staunch critic of Al-Waqidi's writings on Sirah.
In Baghdad, he developed his first madh'hab, influenced by the teachings of both Imam Abu Hanifa and Imam Malik. Thus, his work there is known as "al Madhab al Qadim lil Imam as Shafi'i," or the Old School of ash-Shafi'i.
809 – 813: Al-Amin's era[edit]
Muhammad ibn Harun al-Amin (787–813) (Arabic: محمد الأمين بن هارون الرشيد), Abbasid Caliph. He succeeded his father, Harun al-Rashid in 809 and ruled until he was killed in 813.
813 – 820: Al-Ma'mun's era[edit]
He died at the age of 54 on the 30th of Rajab in 204 AH (820 AD). He was buried in al-Fustat, Egypt.
Imam al-Shāfi'ī developed the science of fiqh unifying 'revealed sources' - the Quran and hadith - with human reasoning to provide a basis in law. With this systematization of shari'a he provided a legacy of unity for all Muslims and forestalled the development of independent, regionally based legal systems. The four Sunni legals schools or madhhabs- keep their traditions within the framework that Shafi'i established.
Imam al-Shāfi'ī gives his name to one of these legal schools Shafi'i fiqh - the Shafi'i school - which is followed in many different places in the Islamic world: Indonesia, Malaysia, Egypt, Somalia, Yemen as well as Sri Lanka and southern parts of India.
Saladin built a madrassa and a shrine on the site of his tomb. Saladin's brother Afdal built a mausoleum for him in 1211 after the defeat of the Fatamids. It remains a site where people petition for justice.[9]
Among the followers of Imam al-Shāfi'ī's school were:
- Bayhaqi[citation needed]
- Hakim al-Nishaburi[citation needed]
- Jalaluddin Suyuti[citation needed]
- Al-Dhahabi[citation needed]
- al Ghazali
- Al-Nawawi
- Ibn Hajar Asqalani
- Hafidh ibn Kathir
- Imām an-Nawawi
- Imam Al-Mawardi
He authored more than 100 books.
- Al-Risala — The best known book by al-Shafi'i in which he examined principles of jurisprudence. The book has been translated into English.
- Kitab al-Umm - his main surviving text on Shafi'i fiqh
- Musnad ash-Shafi'i (on hadith) - it is available with arrangement, Arabic 'Tartib', by Ahmad ibn Abd ar-Rahman al-Banna
Personal life[edit]
Many stories are told about the childhood and life of ash-Shafi'i, and it is difficult to separate truth from myth:
Tradition says that he memorized the Qur'an at the age of seven; by ten, he had memorized the Muwatta of Imam Malik; he was a mufti (given authorization to issue fatwa) at the age of fifteen. He recited the Qur'an every day in prayer, and twice a day in Ramadan. Some apocryphal accounts claim he was very handsome, that his beard did not exceed the length of his fist, and that it was very black. He wore a ring that was inscribed with the words, "Allah suffices Muhammad ibn Idris as a reliance." He was also known to be very generous.
He was also an accomplished archer, a poet, and some accounts call him the most eloquent of his time. Some accounts claim that there were a group of Bedouin who would come and sit to listen to him, not for the sake of learning, but just to listen to his eloquent use of the language. Even in latter eras, his speeches and works were used by Arabic grammarians. He was given the title of Nasir al Sunnah, the Defender of the Sunnah.
He loved Muhammad very deeply. Al Muzani said of him, "He said in the Old School: 'Supplication ends with the invocation of blessings on the Prophet, and its end is but by means of it.'" Al-Karabisi said: "I heard al-Shafi'i say that he disliked for someone to say 'the Messenger' (al-Rasul), but that he should say 'Allah's Messenger' (Rasul Allah) out of veneration for him." He divided his night into three parts: one for writing, one for praying, and one for sleeping.
Apocryphal accounts claim that Imam Ahmad said of ash-Shafi'i, "I never saw anyone adhere more to hadith than al-Shafi'i. No one preceded him in writing down the hadith in a book." Imam Ahmad is also claimed to have said, "Not one of the scholars of hadith touched an inkwell nor a pen except he owed a huge debt to al-Shafi'i."
Imam Muhammad al-Shaybani said, "If the scholars of hadith speak, it is in the language of al Shafi'i."
Shah Waliullah, a 18th century Sunni Islamic scholar stated:[10]
" | A Mujadid appears at the end of every century: The Mujtahid of the 1st century was Imam of Ahlul Sunnah, Umar bin Abdul Aziz. The Mujadid of the 2nd century was Imam of Ahlul Sunnah Muhammad Idrees as-Shafi'i the Mujadid of the 3rd century was Imam of Ahlul Sunnah Abu Hasan Ashari the Mujadid of the 4th century was Abu Abdullah Hakim Nishapuri. | " |
According to many accounts he was said to have a photographic memory. One anecdote states that he would always cover one side of a book while reading because a casual glance at the other page would commit it to memory.
He claimed that the game of chess was an image of war, and it was possible to play chess as a mental exercise for the solution of military tactics. Chess could not be played for a stake, but if a player was playing for a mental exercise, he was not doing anything illegal. Provided the player took care that his fondness for chess did not cause him to break any other rule of life, he saw no harm in playing chess. He played chess himself, defending his practice by the example of many of his companions.
- He who seeks pearls immerses himself in the sea.[11]
- He said to the effect that no knowledge of Islam can be gained from books of Kalam, as kalam "is not from knowledge"[12][13] and that "It is better for a man to spend his whole life doing whatever Allah has prohibited - besides shirk with Allah - rather than spending his whole life involved in kalam."[14]

Supreme Court Ruling Means Problems for Patients
The Montana Supreme Court today denied a constitutional challenge of the Montana legislature's harmful changes to Montana's medical marijuana law, the Missoulian reports.
In September, the Supreme Court had overturned significant parts of a lower court's ruling which blocked some of the worst parts of the new law from taking effect.
The Supreme Court ruled in September that providers could have no more than three patients and that providers weren't able to accept any payment to cover the operational costs of providing cannabis to patients. Before the Supreme Court ruling, the average provider had 16 patients. It costs approximately $240 to provide one ounce of cannabis to a registered patient in Montana.
Because of this ruling 5,000 of the state's 8,000 patients will lose their licensed medical marijuana provider. They'll have 30 days to either find a different provider or begin growing marijuana for themselves–which means they need to get permission from their landlord to do so.
There are several reasons that the new restrictions will be a problem for patients. Most patients are too sick to grow their own cannabis. Cultivation is costly and difficult, and landlords may be reluctant to sign affidavits giving renters permission to grow marijuana in the home.
In the closing days of last year's session, legislators passed a new medical marijuana law with a veto-proof majority. The new law repealed the popular voter-approved program and forced through a new, stricter law that many say was designed to effectively end medical marijuana in the state.
An initiative referendum called IR-124 appears on the ballot this year which allows voters to either keep the current medical marijuana law or overturn it. A NO vote on IR-124 is a vote to reject the Bat Crap Crazy legislature's changes. Several candidates this year, including Attorney General Steve Bullock in his campaign for governor, have come out in opposition to the current law and believe it should be overturned.
James Goetz, the attorney for the Montana Cannabis Industry Association, will immediately seek a temporary restraining order and a second preliminary injunction to block the provisions the Supreme Court evaluated – this one under the new standard of review established by the Court in its recent ruling.

A2Y Chamber and West Washtenaw Business Association host job fair Wednesday at WCC
Unemployment rates well below state-wide and national averages haven't stopped job fairs from popping up across Washtenaw County. The next fair, co-hosted by the Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti Chamber of Commerce and the West Washtenaw Business Association will be Wednesday, Oct. 17, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Washtenaw Community College.
Lon Horwedel | AnnArbor.com
"Not only were they looking for exposure, but they were hoping the chamber would help them find people because they had positions they were looking to fill."
Henson serves on the chamber's ambassador committee that helps connect established businesses with emerging businesses and new members. She said the fair will be an opportunity for chamber members and non-members alike to recruit new employees. It's also an opportunity for the chamber to work more closely with the West Washtenaw Business Association, who hosted a candidate forum Oct. 10 at Weber's that drew a range of state and local candidates, including both Rep. John Dingell, D-Dearborn, and his opponent Cynthia Kallgren.
There is a wide variety of companies signed up for the fair. According to a release, participating companies include Michigan Ladder, Northwestern Mutual, Select Ride, Quantum Signal, and the Zingerman's company of businesses. Henson said the companies are hiring for part-time, full-time, and temporary positions and that some jobs are lower entry level while others require higher education.
The fair will be in the Morris J. Lawrence Building on WCC's campus and Henson expects about 150 people to show up looking for work. Admission and parking are free, and participants are advised to bring multiple copies of their resumes. She has reached out to the Eastern Michigan Echo and the Washtenaw Voice as well as attempting to get the word out via Facebook and Twitter.

Acid in food requires acid in wine; the two play off each other and, strange but true, soften one another. This recipe is fairly far along the acid axis (vinegar, tomatoes) and whether you choose a light red or a stout white, make sure either has a solid spine of acidity too.
The food: Spicy smothered pork
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over high heat; add 1 small onion, sliced. Stir-fry until wilted. Add 3 cloves garlic, minced; stir-fry, 1 minute. Transfer onion and garlic to a plate. Season 4 boneless pork chops with salt; brown in skillet. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium; add 3 tablespoons paprika and the onions and garlic; cook 2 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in 1 can (15 ounces) tomatoes. Cover; cook 3 minutes. Return pork to pan; cover with sauce. Cook until done.
Makes: 4 servings
The wines
2011 Yalumba Viognier, Eden Valley, South Australia: A major complaint against viognier is its low acidity, but that's not the case here; deft extraction of skin solids add a refreshing, cleansing edge; add on aromas and tastes of ginger, mint and anise for more super-delish. $15-$20
2011 Folie a Deux Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast: Really terrific, tangy, squeegeelike acidity frames this medium-bodied, cherry-filled pinot; scents of wood and forest add complexity. $20
2009 Chateau Bousquette Prestige, St. Chinian, France: A blend of organic syrah and grenache from the Languedoc, with solid crisp acidity at the finish, along with supple tannins and a lengthy shadow of dark red fruit flavors. $25

Software design

Software design is the process by which an agent creates a specification of a software artifact, intended to accomplish goals, using a set of primitive components and subject to constraints.[1] Software design may refer to either "all the activities involved in conceptualizing, framing, implementing, commissioning, and ultimately modifying complex systems" or "the activity following requirements specification and before programming, as ... [in] a stylized software engineering process."[2]
Software design usually involves problem solving and planning a software solution. This includes both low-level component and algorithm design and high-level, architecture design.
Software design is the process of implementing software solutions to one or more set of problems. One of the important parts of software design is the software requirements analysis (SRA). It is a part of the software development process that lists specifications used in software engineering. If the software is "semi-automated" or user centered, software design may involve user experience design yielding a story board to help determine those specifications. If the software is completely automated (meaning no user or user interface), a software design may be as simple as a flow chart or text describing a planned sequence of events. There are also semi-standard methods like Unified Modeling Language and Fundamental modeling concepts. In either case, some documentation of the plan is usually the product of the design. Furthermore, a software design may be platform-independent or platform-specific, depending on the availability of the technology used for the design.
Software design can be considered as creating a solution to a problem in hand with available capabilities. The main difference between Software analysis and design is that the output of a software analysis consist of smaller problems to solve. Also, the analysis should not be very different even if it is designed by different team members or groups. The design focuses on the capabilities, and there can be multiple designs for the same problem depending on the environment that solution will be hosted. They can be operations systems, webpages, mobile or even the new cloud computing paradigm. Sometimes the design depends on the environment that it was developed, whether if it is created from with reliable frameworks or implemented with suitable design patterns.
When designing software, two important factors to consider are its security and usability.
Software design topics[edit]
Design concepts[edit]
The design concepts provide the software designer with a foundation from which more sophisticated methods can be applied. A set of fundamental design concepts has evolved. They are:
- Abstraction - Abstraction is the process or result of generalization by reducing the information content of a concept or an observable phenomenon, typically in order to retain only information which is relevant for a particular purpose.
- Refinement - It is the process of elaboration. A hierarchy is developed by decomposing a macroscopic statement of function in a step-wise fashion until programming language statements are reached. In each step, one or several instructions of a given program are decomposed into more detailed instructions. Abstraction and Refinement are complementary concepts.
- Modularity - Software architecture is divided into components called modules.
- Software Architecture - It refers to the overall structure of the software and the ways in which that structure provides conceptual integrity for a system. A good software architecture will yield a good return on investment with respect to the desired outcome of the project, e.g. in terms of performance, quality, schedule and cost.
- Control Hierarchy - A program structure that represents the organization of a program component and implies a hierarchy of control.
- Structural Partitioning - The program structure can be divided both horizontally and vertically. Horizontal partitions define separate branches of modular hierarchy for each major program function. Vertical partitioning suggests that control and work should be distributed top down in the program structure.
- Data Structure - It is a representation of the logical relationship among individual elements of data.
- Software Procedure - It focuses on the processing of each modules individually
- Information Hiding - Modules should be specified and designed so that information contained within a module is inaccessible to other modules that have no need for such information
Design considerations[edit]
There are many aspects to consider in the design of a piece of software. The importance of each should reflect the goals the software is trying to achieve. Some of these aspects are:
- Compatibility - The software is able to operate with other products that are designed for interoperability with another product. For example, a piece of software may be backward-compatible with an older version of itself.
- Extensibility - New capabilities can be added to the software without major changes to the underlying architecture.
- Fault-tolerance - The software is resistant to and able to recover from component failure.
- Maintainability - A measure of how easily bug fixes or functional modifications can be accomplished. High maintainability can be the product of modularity and extensibility.
- Modularity - the resulting software comprises well defined, independent components. That leads to better maintainability. The components could be then implemented and tested in isolation before being integrated to form a desired software system. This allows division of work in a software development project.
- Reliability - The software is able to perform a required function under stated conditions for a specified period of time.
- Reusability - the software is able to add further features and modification with slight or no modification.
- Robustness - The software is able to operate under stress or tolerate unpredictable or invalid input. For example, it can be designed with a resilience to low memory conditions.
- Security - The software is able to withstand hostile acts and influences.
- Usability - The software user interface must be usable for its target user/audience. Default values for the parameters must be chosen so that they are a good choice for the majority of the users.
- Performance - The software performs its tasks within a user-acceptable time. The software does not consume too much memory.
- Portability - The usability of the same software in different environments.
- Scalability - The software adapts well to increasing data or number of users.
Modeling language[edit]
A modeling language is any artificial language that can be used to express information or knowledge or systems in a structure that is defined by a consistent set of rules. The rules are used for interpretation of the meaning of components in the structure. A modeling language can be graphical or textual. Examples of graphical modeling languages for software design are:
- Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is an example of a Process Modeling language.
- EXPRESS and EXPRESS-G (ISO 10303-11) is an international standard general-purpose data modeling language.
- Extended Enterprise Modeling Language (EEML) is commonly used for business process modeling across a number of layers.
- Flowchart is a schematic representation of an algorithm or a step-wise process,
- Fundamental Modeling Concepts (FMC) modeling language for software-intensive systems.
- IDEF is a family of modeling languages, the most notable of which include IDEF0 for functional modeling, IDEF1X for information modeling, and IDEF5 for modeling ontologies.
- Jackson Structured Programming (JSP) is a method for structured programming based on correspondences between data stream structure and program structure
- LePUS3 is an object-oriented visual Design Description Language and a formal specification language that is suitable primarily for modelling large object-oriented (Java, C++, C#) programs and design patterns.
- Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general modeling language to describe software both structurally and behaviorally. It has a graphical notation and allows for extension with a Profile (UML).
- Alloy (specification language) is a general purpose specification language for expressing complex structural constraints and behavior in a software system. It provides a concise language based on first-order relational logic.
- Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is a new general-purpose modeling language for systems engineering.
Design patterns[edit]
A software designer or architect may identify a design problem which has been solved by others before. A template or pattern describing a solution to a common problem is known as a design pattern. The reuse of such patterns can speed up the software development process, having been tested and proven in the past.
Software design documentation may be reviewed or presented to allow constraints, specifications and even requirements to be adjusted prior to computer programming. Redesign may occur after review of a programmed simulation or prototype. It is possible to design software in the process of programming, without a plan or requirement analysis,[3] but for more complex projects this would not be considered a professional approach. A separate design prior to programming allows for multidisciplinary designers and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to collaborate with highly skilled programmers for software that is both useful and technically sound. Making of robots is also a huge use of software design

According to Papal Dictate dating back as far as 1883 the pope is nominally the Bishop of Kilfenora, in County Clare. Along with attempting to mend a fragile Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis I is taking on this west of Ireland diocese.
However, this doesn't mean that Pope Francis I will be making regular visits to his Irish diocese.
The County Clare library records explain this anomaly. Their records state:
"The last Catholic bishop of the diocese was James Augustine O'Daly who died in France in 1749. In 1750 the Catholic church united Kilfenora with Kilmacduagh and in 1883 both dioceses were united with the relatively new diocese of Galway. To this day, the official title for prelate in the see of Galway is Bishop of Galway and Kilmacduagh and Apostolic Administrator of Kilfenora. Technically, this means that the Pope is the Bishop of Kilfenora."
The Church dictates that no bishop can be split between two different provinces.
A source from the parish told TheJournal.ie that this rule was introduced to "prevent bishops from collecting dues from more than one province without doing the work."
They said it is unlikely that canon law would ever be changed to amend this as Kilfenora is the "only one of these parishes that still exists."
The source said, "It's a unique thing that the parish has and they pride themselves on it because it gives them that little bit of distinction from other parishes...For all practical purposes it means absolutely nothing because the bishop [of Galway] does everything and I don't think it's going to be high up on Pope Francis' list."
The Bishop / Pope is not expected to make frequent visits as the Bishop of Galway handles all the clerical and administrative duties of the area. However, last year, residents of the County Clare region did think that Pope Benedict XVI might make a visit to the diocese while travelling for the Ecclesiastical Conference in Dublin, according to the Clerical Whispers blog. However the now retired Pope did not travel to the event.
Just because a cat has kittens in the oven,it doesn't make them muffins.
Silly! But enjoy the fairy tale as it is St. Patrick's season. It is really harmless and may be fun for some.
As an American of European Ancestry I. thought the Polish John Paul II somewhat Romantic; But there is something so utterly Down Home about a Latin Papa. See you all ( Catholics ) at Midnight Mass, Christmas Eve 2013 / from The Sistine Chapel ? )
If the Captain wants to choose another nationality/race, he may consider turning into a Latino. They are the wave of the future, whosse political strength in the U.S. will soon exceed that of all the European nationalities combined, including the Anglo-Saxons whose culture has for centuries been the dominent one in this cuntry.
Ha ha ha this is almost as good as Kate 'I'm a daughter of Brian Boru and an airline hostess, y'know' Middleton. Apparently I'm related to Genghis Khan and will be around in a minute on a shaggy pony to outline why I should be considered half-Irish and half Mongolian. I wonder does this mean Kate 'I'm as Irish as all get out' Middleton is also related to Genghis Khan as an apparent compatriot of mine? Ah lads.
Thanks to Irish Central for this interesting piece of Church history. The merging of the Kilfirora Doiocese with another diocese remind me of 2 other small Munster dioceses of the 1600s that have since been combined with larged entities. One was the Diocese of Ross, which was united with the Diocese of Cork. In the late 1640s Bisho Egan of Ross was captured by the Cromwellians who wanted him to persuade the Irish forces to surrender, but the good bishop urgesd then to fight on. Then the Roundheads HANGED this Bishop. In Oct. of '1651 when Limerick fell to Cromwell's forces, Terence O'Brien of the Diocese of Emly, who had backed Hugh Dubh O'Neill and his 1,500 army of Ulstermen that held the city for 4½ months, was HANGED and his diocese was later merged with that of Cashel. (Bishop O'Brien was one of the 17 Irish martyrs who were beatified by the Pope in Sept., 1992).

Hotel Nikko Princess Kyoto Guest Reviews (3)
This is an excellent facility and I would highly recommend it for a Kyoto stay. I was on a business trip and others on the trip stayed in other facilities that were no where near the quality of the Nikko Princess. The staff worked very hard to accommodate my needs including providing instructions in Japanese that I could use throughout my day. The only glitch I had at the hotel was the room service person spoke very little English and I was unable to order all that I wanted for a meal but this was an isolated incident in an otherwise excellent stay.
Martin Burns wrote on October 10, 2007
We stayed here for the New Year celebrations and found the staff extremely helpful and accommodating. Even the restaurant and bar staff spoke English and were all delightful. Impeccably clean and the Japanese restaurants were stunning!
Keith Scorgie wrote on January 8, 2006
I certainly would recommend this hotel because of its qualities as hotel and its convenient location for visiting the Kyoto touristic places of interest.
