A shipwreck deposits Hercules (Kevin Sorbo) on the shores of Atlantis. Here he meets the fortune-telling Cassandra (Claudia Black), whose efforts to tell the warmongering King Panthius (James Beaumont) that Atlantis is doomed have fallen upon deaf ears. Both Cassandra and Hercules are thrown into prison, where Hercules discovers that Panthius was not only responsible for destroying his ship, but has enslaved thousands of shipwrecked sailors to mine the crystal necessary for the king's deadly, high-powered cannon. This episode was originally aired as the finale of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys' third season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Don't call me 'Sir' THE NEW YEAR brings a knighthood for Diarmaid MacCulloch and a new documentary series for BBC2 following his acclaimed A History of Christianity for BBC 4 in 2009.
The Oxford don and Anglican deacon has just put the finishing touches to How God Made the English, a three-part examination of his thesis that religion has shaped national identity.
"Englishness was created by religion and the Catholic Church originally. Now that Britain is questioning its future, Englishness is back and we need to know what it is about," said MacCulloch, who is professor of the history of the Church in the theology faculty of Oxford University.
His next project is preparing for the Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh, which he will deliver from 23 April to 3 May on the theme of silence in the history of the Church. He told us he was surprised and delighted by his knighthood: "It is a huge pat on the back for religious history and it is great to see the Government and the powers that be recognise that the history of Christianity is very important."
Asked if he intends to style himself "Sir", he tells us that as an Anglican clergyman he is not allowed to. The appropriate way to address him is, he explained, "Diarmaid MacCulloch, Knight".
That elusive red hat IF VATICANISTAS are to be believed, the next consistory will take place on 19 February. By this time there will be 107 cardinal electors, leaving Pope Benedict XVI with 13 slots to fill to bring the consistory up to the 120 limit allowed to vote in a conclave.
It seems, however, that the Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nichols is unlikely to be on the list currently being finalised in the Apostolic Palace. This is because the voting cardinal of England and Wales, Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, will not turn 80 – the age when cardinals lose their right to vote in a conclave – until 24 August. It is widely accepted that those bishops of cardinalitial sees do not receive the red hat while their predecessor is still able to vote. The 19 February date is posited by Italian journalist Sandro Magister of the weekly news magazine l'Espresso, but the consistory may take place in the autumn, giving Archbishop Nichols a chance of becoming a cardinal this year.
Another sign that a consistory is coming up soon is a report that the ecclesiastical goldsmiths, the Savi Brothers, have received orders for the new cardinals' rings. According to Andrea Tornielli of La Stampa, there is a new design replacing the cross on a rectangle of worked gold with a simple cross.
Pole positions WHEN ARCHBISHOP Patrick Kelly celebrates the golden jubilee of his ordination to the priesthood next month, his priests want to give him a gift worthy of the occasion.
His auxiliary, Bishop Tom Williams, suggested a crozier that would match the decor at Liverpool's Metropolitan Cathedral. In fact, Bishop Williams felt it important to tell the archbishop in advance about the plan so that he could contribute to the design. Now nearing completion, the crozier is made from stainless steel with a piece of glass at the top representing the Eucharist. It is being made to match the stained-glass windows and other works of art in the cathedral.
Priests and parishioners have been invited to contribute to a collection to pay for the crozier, but it seems a few are not too happy about the idea. Judith Foy, who lives in north-west Merseyside, told us some parishioners were putting Monopoly money or buttons into the collection envelopes. She said a local Catholic charity, Nugent Care, which is desperately short of funds, would be a more worthy cause.
Another parishioner said she and others were "disgusted" about the gift. But Bishop Williams pointed out that the crozier was for the cathedral and was not a personal gift so the archbishop would leave it behind when he retired.
"A gift is a gift," he said, adding he did not know how much had been raised nor how much the crozier would cost.
War over peace mural IT TOOK a year to complete but only a few short days to reduce the colourful tiled mural that once adorned the facade of San Salvador's Metropolitan Cathedral to rubble.
The destruction of the mural has caused outrage among its admirers and reportedly condemnation from the Salvadorean Government. A Facebook page, "Indignados por El Mural", has attracted dozens of furious posts. The Church ordered the removal of the mural and said that parishioners had been consulted and were in agreement with a plan to replace it with a depiction of the Divine Saviour of the World, to whom the cathedral is dedicated.
The earlier mural was the work of local artist Fernando Llort. Completed in 1997, it was made in homage to the 1992 peace accords that ended El Salvador's civil war. In a statement Llort said the commission had been the highlight of his career and its destruction by the Church was incomprehensible and upsetting.
One report suggests the Church may be prosecuted under a law passed last year making it illegal to deface art deemed part of the country's patrimony.
The cathedral contains the tomb of Archbishop Oscar Romero who stood up for the poor in the country's civil war and was assassinated in 1980. During his funeral, 44 people were killed in a stampede as the congregation fled the cathedral when gunmen – allegedly members of the security forces – fired on mourners.
Morality tale IT IS expected to cause a stir when it is screened to Christian audiences later this year, but the members of the British Catholic family behind the film Doonby say their ultimate aim is to take its pro-life message to the wider, secular market on both sides of the Atlantic.
At first it is hard to identify Doonby as a pro-life film, beginning as it does with the arrival in a small Texas town of a mysterious drifter, Sam Doonby, who takes a job in a blues bar and becomes something of a local hero.
It later emerges that Sam was the result of an unwanted pregnancy and that his mother agonised over whether to have an abortion. Those who have seen the film mention an astonishing twist at the end.
The team behind the production are brothers and former Stonyhurst College pupils Mike and Daniel MacKenzie – who produced and filmed it respectively – and their father, writer and director Peter. Mike, 32, chose to return to his alma mater in Lancashire late last year to give the film its first public British screening and was encouraged by the response it received from pupils.
"I was a sixth-former at Stonyhurst when I first read Dad's script for the film and I was blown away by it," said Mike. "It's not covered in crucifixes and other overtly religious symbols, and is not designed to offend pro-choice audiences, but I think it carries a clear message."

A pastoral Pope? If Robert Mickens is anywhere near the mark with his list of likely candidates to succeed Pope Benedict ("Conclave contenders", 31 December 2011), the Church faces a bleak future. Only one of the eight cardinals he names has ever worked as a parish priest. Can we assume that the remaining seven have never listened to the story of a single mother or talked personally to a girl with an abortion in her past, sat at the bedside of dying sinners, heard the pleas of a divorced parishioner barred from the sacrament, felt the anger of women who see themselves as scorned by their Church, discovered the desperation of jobless, debt-laden families, observed the dismay of an elderly person when told their church will have to close?
Is it not time that a significant period of hands-on pastoral experience is required as an essential condition for higher ecclesiastical office? Gerard Loughran Newcastle upon Tyne
Just-war theory – how tenable? Tina Beattie ("Unconscionable and unjustifiable", 31 December 2011) tells us – on what evidence it is not clear – that "only a small minority of Catholics remains robustly committed to defending the just-war doctrine", and that "no humanitarian can afford to support war today". Certainly one would hope that no Catholic would support going to war until all other means have been exhausted, but she fails to answer the age-old pacifist dilemma of how to act when that point is reached. Should we ignore the threats and actions of those who would do us or others harm – from Cambodia, Rwanda and Bosnia in the recent past to future possible threats such as Iran or North Korea whatever the consequences: or are we content for the dirty work to be done by non-Catholics, enabling our hands to be kept clean – hardly a noble position? William Furness Glastonbury, Somerset
Tina Beattie may well be right about the shift in church thinking, but the just-war approach still has much to offer. It was never meant to be a means of legitimising war. The only "lawful authority", in just-war terms, entitled to authorise military action today is the Security Council of the United Nations .The only exception is in a situation of immediate self-defence and only then until the Security Council has taken charge. The charter, signed in 1945, says that before any military action is agreed upon, all non-violent ways of settling disputes must have been explored and found wanting. This is no surprise. After all, the first aim of the United Nations is "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war". Unhappily, the Security Council has been turned into an

instrument for legitimising wars either already active or pre-planned. The Libyan regimechange air war is the latest example of this process. Bruce Kent Movement for the Abolition of War, London N4
Pope Benedict XV may have been "a true and courageous prophet of peace who struggled strenuously and bravely, first to avert the drama of war and then to limit its terrible consequences", but he was singularly unsuccessful in both ambitions. Sadly, the example of Hitler is relevant and in an imperfect world there have to be less than ideal solutions.
It is arguable that, for instance, Franklin Roosevelt's creation of the United Nations, Jean Monnet's vision of Franco-German amity, President Kennedy's Nuclear Test Ban treaty or even 40 years of political/military containment of the USSR, which broke the back of the Soviet economy leading to the dissolution of the USSR and its empire, did more for world peace than the pious exhortations of unworldly religious leaders. Tina Beattie might even consider what would have happened in Libya in 2011 had Nato not intervened. The management of international affairs is a subtle and sophisticated art, which is why we have many politicians but few statesmen. Fine principles are all very well, but as the late Sir Isaiah Berlin commented: "The task of the wise was to undo the mistakes of the good." (Professor) John Kentleton University of Liverpool
The Church in the high street Abbot Christopher Jamison (31 December 2011) writes on the potential for the Catholic Church setting up shops offering youth employment opportunities. I have long thought that the Catholic Church in the UK has huge potential for much wider encouragement with social enterprise. It has the built assets required, often situated in excellent trading positions for maximum impact – a nationwide network of buildings – churches and church halls which are often woefully underutilised. How many churches are now occupied only for a few hours one day a week? How many Catholic schools, despite various government initiatives, are in use for only eight hours a day on 192 days a year? It has access to skilled and experienced lay volunteers who could be galvanised into putting Catholic Social Teaching into practice within a structured environment. This is a huge opportunity for making a real difference, as the Church did in the recessions in the last two centuries. This is the way to evangelisation and engaging the young. (Dr) Martin Price Dinas Powys, Vale of Glamorgan
In the footsteps of Mary Gratitude is due to Abigail Frymann for all the information she has given on the Israeli tourist office's "Mary Trail" ("Checkpoints and churches", 26 November 2011). But the tourist office's appropriate point of beginning would surely be the Church of St Anne, in Jerusalem, between St Stephen's Gate (or the Lions' Gate) and the beginning of the Via Dolorosa. The fine Crusader church is built on the site traditionally associated with the house of Joachim and Anna, and so the place where Mary was conceived immaculate. This shrine has been entrusted to the Missionaries of Africa (White Fathers) since the time of their founder, Cardinal Lavigerie. In the grounds lie the remains of the probatic pool where Jesus cured the paralytic. This is not connected with Mary, but is well worth a visit. (Archbishop) Michael L. Fitzgerald Embassy of the Holy See, Cairo, Egypt
The heart's a wonder So Romanticism is alive and well at The Tablet. Having noted dutifully the themes in Archbishop Nichols' Tablet lecture ("Formation of the human heart", 29 October 2011), I nevertheless succumbed to a growing curiosity arising from his attribution of amazing qualities to the human heart. The archbishop, along with Pope Benedict, seems convinced that it can be "formed", "nurtured", "tutored" and "transformed". It can also be "fashioned into a listening heart", and can even talk – which explains how "heart speaks unto heart". Accordingly, this conversational ability enables the human heart "to enter into a profound communication with God's heart" and even "God opens his heart to us". We should not be surprised, therefore, that the archbishop also believes it can actually see – "may we keep the eyes of our heart upon this little baby" (Christmas message, 17/24 December 2011).
Talking, listening, learning, seeing – truly a remarkable organ. The truth is, of course, that since Harvey in the seventeenth century we know that the heart is a pump. It is not

In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
Design arguments have been around forever and expressed in various ways. Most of them fall into what we call natural theology, which is the process of inferring something about the existence and nature of God by the inspection of nature.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.
Perusing the writings of atheistic scientists and philosophers like Daniel Dennett, one could easily get the impression that arriving at a simpler explanation for something equates to a revelation that things are "lower, cruder, and more trivial."
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
When presented with the evidence for human population sizes over our evolutionary history, a common point of confusion for evangelicals is how this evidence fits with Mitochondrial Eve. How can we all come from one woman (and one man) but also come from a large population of 10,000 individuals?
I fear that many of us ask the wrong questions about the beginning of the book of Genesis. Not only does this generate needless confusion and division, it also makes us miss the life-changing truths that we could see if we asked the right questions.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".

Air confitioner made temperature like in Winter outside. Hardly found an ac switch. You can either switch ac on or off (you can not choose temperature). So it will be freezingly cold or hot (in Houston summers), no comfortable temperature for you. Worst Motel/Hotel experience in my life.
The big roaches, the horrible smells, the lady behind the counter with tattoos on her chest. The place was old, stinky, and was falling apart. I would rather stay in our car then sleep another night at this roach coach.
This place is ok to stay
It looks like they stole my credit card number, it is the only place in Houston
It is very well located near downtown Houston and the major highways
There was suspicious customers around
Its cheap and OK for the money.
Unsafe location by all means. There is no safety in this place due to its location
The price compare with the place and quality is pretty good. You can take bus by 2 min walking (bus # 24) and get to downtown in 15 min. The staff escecially the lady in morning 7:30 to 9:30 were very nice and friendly.
I spent 4 night there. I find some bugs in my first room then I changed my room.
Staff is very friendly and bed is super comfortable. (King size)
If you need laundry, forget it. Its completely dirty and visited by a deseased cat. Bad tv. Booked for a non-smoking room and got a smelly one.
Staff was nice.
Room smelled mouldy and smoky although I asked for a non-smoking room. Women were soliciting to men in the lobby. The entire hotel room did not have a garbage can including the bathroom. The towels were dirty.
1) Price paid through booking.com was higher then what was advertised as well as what was offered by others. 2) Room was not good - Bed sheets were dirty, toilet had running water, remote control did not work. 3) We had room in second floor with lots of luggage, no elevator.
The location.
The drug dealers, the sleazeballs, the bullet-proof check-in area, the stories about SWAT teams making frequent visits -- you get the idea.
Nice moel with friendly staff
A poor location unless you have own car
They had nice floors and nice staff.
TV reception wasn't that great. Horrible area, but that's not really their fault.
Excellently ok
Nice room / bed.
Landscaping maintenance poor. Lobby needs work, could have been neater.
I liked the manager, that's it. We couldn't find it and after 3 houra of driving around we called the manager and he was kind enough to come and find us at this place we ended up at after several attempts but just couldn't figure it out. We had cancelled the reservation simply because we couldn't find it. We went downtown to try and find one cose to Minute Maid Stadium where our concert was going to be that night but everything was all booked up. So we rebooked at the Western Inn and tried again to find it and still nothing. We followed the manager back to the place and our room was $6 more and it was a smoking room.
The remote control didn't work, there were stains on the sheets, the blanket had holes and cigarette burns in it. There was a porno station on the tv that we weren't aware of and good thing we didn't have kids with us. There was no coffee maker, hair dryer, or anything else you usually find at a hotel of that price. One corner of the shower was all coming apart and there wwere other places in the room that were in disrepair. Early in the morning, there were people screaming at each other that woke us up, then later on more yelling. Tjere was no room sergie or even a place to get something to eat. There was a coffe machine in the lobby but no decaff. It's probably one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in. The manager was a very nice man though.

SAN LUCAS, Calif. - For some local students, required school supplies include paper, pens, and drinking cups.
The 70 San Lucas students line up several times a day to fill-up on purified water from 5 gallon jugs.
The kids aren't drinking out of reusable cups and bottles to be eco-friendly, it's because they have to.
For two years San Lucas Elementary teachers and parents have been told their students can't drink the tap water.
The entire town was informed their drinking water contained dangerous levels of nitrates and residents are still waiting for a permanent solution.
"We are buying bottled water every week for our students and staff. It's running us about 7 or 800 dollars a month," said San Lucas Union School District Principal Nicole Hester.
Scientists say the drinking water woes of rural communities up and down the Central Coast go back decades.
In some rural communities, any pesticides or nitrates from fertilizers have gotten directly into the drinking water.
Nitrates are thought to be most dangerous to babies under 6 months and pregnant women. In others, nitrates are expected carcinogens.
San Lucas residents prepared demands to the State Water Board to find some viable options for clean drinking water. Not just for people here, but all over the Central Coast.
This week, lawmakers discussed the immediate problem: the money set aside for projects isn't making it to the communities.
"There's over 463 million dollars of clean drinking water funding that is sitting in accounts," said Assemblymember Henry Perea (Fresno).

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- Sheriff's officials in Jefferson County say four people have been charged with stealing more than $400,000 from the Birmingham Board of Education.
Authorities say an investigation led them to arresting 50-year-old Maury Pettway, 52-year-old Marcellous Blackmon and 47-year-old Rodney Everson on charges of theft and using a public position for personal gain. Sheriff's Spokesman Randy Christian says the three worked in the Board of Education Transportation Division and created fake invoices for car parts and maintenance at a shop one of them owned.
Authorities also arrested 40-year-old Kimberly Watson on theft charges. Bond for Watson is set at $30,000. Bond for Everson and Blackmon has been set at $40,000 and bond for Pettway has been set at $60,000.
It was unclear Thursday if the four had lawyers.

Resource Detailed View
By arrangement.
Oxford Universitys Mars Wind Tunnel is a facility in which Martian winds (0.5 60 m/s), pressures (3 15 mbar), and temperatures (200 300 K) can be simulated. It has been specifically designed for development and calibration of meteorological instruments for Mars landers. Originally developed for the Mars NetLander mission (now cancelled), it was used for Beagle 2 meteorological sensors, and for NASAs MSL wind sensors. It is due to be used for ESAs ExoMars mission. The facility also can be used for further simulation of Martian wind, e.g. to study convective cooling rates from the top of a Mars lander, or for other low density flow regimes, e.g. stratospheric conditions.
The facility has recently been improved, with an improved cooling and data acquisition system. With proposed further modifications, it will also be able to repeatedly simulate step changes in temperature and wind speed and to independently cool different portions of the test section.
Also in the same lab (optionally as part of the same RI) we have a number of other wind tunnels which can be applied to a range of regimes for planetary aerodynamic simulation, at speeds up to Mach 10. In particular, we can simultaneously achieve the correct enthalpy and Mach number for Mars entry vehicles. In particular, we have tested aerodynamic stability and heat transfer parameters for Mars Pathfinder, Beagle 2, and Huygens entry vehicles.

Member Meet-Ups
Cincinnati- KY Cross the Bridge for Life
We'd like to invite all of you to join us in this fun day! We will gather at The Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in Covington, KY for 10:00 am Mass with Bishop Foys. After Mass we will grab a quick bite to eat, and then join everyone at the Peace Bell for the festivities, which begin at 1:30. There will be prayer, guest speakers, music and song, and free t-shirts. Get there early! Parking and t-shirts become scarce quickly!
The walk begins at 3:00. It's not long or difficult, but it is highly public as we traverse the Ohio River, cross into Cincinnati and come back. We will be done well before 4:00. Cincinnati JTM hamburgers are being served afterwards free to all walkers.
After the event is over our group will mostly like enjoy a famous Graeters' Icecream at a nearby parlor. Then we will decide what we do from there. Perhaps we will just kick back at a local park, take in some sites at Newport along the Levee or see a movie. It all depends on the mood, weather, and what crops up.
If anyone wants to come from out of town and make a weekend of it, let me know. We can make that happen. There are reasonably priced hotels very near me, and I will be glad to play hostess and show you around town. Perhaps Saturday would be a good day to take in the Cincinnati Zoo. (The Reds are out of town-- darn!)
Check out the official web page for the walk. I do hope you will join me and some of the Indy CM Crew for this fun and uplifting day! Don't hesitate to ask questions. An event page will be up soon in the "Events" section.
Thanks for posting this... I think I will definitely try to make it!
Hi, Amy! It's good to make your acquaintance. We would love to meet you, and celebrate life with you. Plus, you never know who you may meet. Keep an eye on this thread; I'll post when I have the event page up.
Hi Dawn, Thanks for posting this. I will try to make it. Do we need to register?
Hi, Sue! I was hoping this would reach others in Ohio like yourself. There is no need to register for the walk through the link I gave. But when I get the events page up, you'll need to sign up there and share your travel plans with us, so we know to look for you. It's going to be a great day!
The event now appears on the event's page: CM Kentucky & Cincinnati - Cross the Bridge For Life
Sounds awesome! I'm in!
Personally, I'd vote no for the zoo, but I love the idea of something outside...
Yeah!!! Lucy is in!! Y'all are going to love Lucy. Lucy, are you thinking that there are enough crazy animals in our group that there is no need to see them on the other side of the zoo bars? There is plenty to do in our area at this time of the year, so anyone who is coming for the weekend will not be bored!

When the youngest Spartan hoplites geared up for a new campaign, their commander would ask: "What's the difference between you and the Spartan king?" The rookies would hesitate, not sure if this was yet another manly test or a genuine inquiry into social status.
I'm reminded of this every time I visit Thompson Memorial Chapel on the Williams College campus. It's a fine place to meditate and leave the world behind like kicked up dust on a country road. It also thrusts history upon me.
Towering above the pews like birds of prey are the names of Williams' war dead. They're organized in ranks and files on the limestone walls, as if in proud, parade ground formation. As a war memorial - being a veteran I've visited many - it ranks second in solemnity only to the Cadet Chapel at West Point.
But the Williams shrine is no less significant, and far more illuminating. Beginning with founder Ephraim Williams who fell in a pre-Revolutionary skirmish, the names are classified by conflict, covering every war through several centuries and ending in the 1970s with Vietnam.
The conspicuous absence of names following that disaster is unsettling.
Indeed, this void indicates a growing social divide - that of privileged Americans not strapping on their share of the load once the U.S. turned to all-volunteer forces. Nowhere else is this more striking than inside the Beltway, and at top institutions that produce many of today's leaders.
The demographics of Congress speak loudly on this issue. In 1974, as conscription ended in the wake of Vietnam, 80 percent of our national legislators were veterans. Today, that number has fallen under 20 percent for the first time in history.
Increasingly, the government's most influential members - and their children - are products of the elite schools
In the past, Williams and other Little Ivies had a fair number of their graduates serve in uniform; today that number has dwindled to a handful. So there is credibility in a legislator such as just-retired Democratic Congressman Charles Rangel, a Korean War veteran, who always pushed to reinstitute conscription.
Rangel's allies, who include both Democrats and Republicans, correctly argue that America's lower and middle classes assume too many of the risks in periods of prolonged conflict - such as the last decade. Meanwhile, scions of the upper classes don't, and as a result, lose the ability to shape national security from a user perspective.
In this same vein, the majority of sovereign nations, many which we tout as examples of benevolent societies in matters such as universal health care, require conscription. In these countries, however progressive, military service remains one of the paybacks to a state that provides cradle-to-grave public programs.
Meanwhile, the bulk of our military's leadership is increasingly produced by the larger land-grant state universities and the military academies, and less so from the Ivies and their smaller equivalents, such as Williams. These institutions have their share of leaders in nearly every walk of life - why then cede their influence in the Pentagon?
Our military, which in the Digital Age must handle far more sophisticated missions than just to take and hold ground, has a highly educated officer corps, and would benefit from an infusion of classic liberal arts graduates from the nation's top private schools.
Recent moves such as Harvard reviving its storied ROTC program are a step in the right direction. And students at Williams can tap into officer commissioning courses at several Albany, N.Y. colleges.
But at a college named for a hero of the French and Indian War, the ethos needed to overcome logistical inconvenience seems scarce, as is the will to look past prevailing ideologies on elite campuses - even in the name of societal fairness.
So after staring at that post-Vietnam void of home-grown Spartans on the wall, I always leave Thompson Chapel at peace, but with a reminder of the perils of privilege, and the demands of leadership - which echo back to the ancient Greek paradigm.
Pointing to the ground, the Spartan commander advised his neophytes: "The difference between you and the king is that when we strike camp on the eve of battle, you will sleep in this mud hole here - he will sleep in the one right next to you."

Bluegrass Festival delights thousands

�It�s like a way of life. It�s a simpler kind of organic living. It�s all acoustic music, and it comes from the heart and soul, and it�s very invested in our history,� said Chere McKinley as she warmed up with a Niles, Mich., bluegrass-based band, 23, between two RVs prior to their afternoon set.
As 23 readied to take the stage, the Jackson family and their band, Lonesome Meadow of Westerville, Ohio, who were once again the headliners at the festival, were concluding a rousing set with an energized version of the Dolly Parton-penned �Jolene.�
Fiddler and lead vocalist Anne Marie Jackson and her two brothers, John on guitar, and Gary on banjo, front the band, as their father Mark plays upright bass. They�ve been together for close to seven years, and even mother Julie is involved, as she sells CDs and plays public relations rep off stage.
Anne Marie calls the fiddle a violin, as she started playing classical violin when she was younger. She follows in the footsteps of her granddad, who plays fiddle and guitar. �We like to play, it�s kind of our family�s music. My granddad plays it, all of my dad�s side of the family plays it, so it�s like home for us,� said Anne Marie, who looks fondly to playing at the Osceola festival, �a great festival,� which her family has played four times. And then when they�re not on the road, Anne Marie said that nothing beats the feeling of playing on her grandparents� front porch back home.
The festival, which runs through the afternoon today, Aug. 19,, is not just about bluegrass music. Food options are endless, as there is homemade ice cream, pork tenderloins, ribs, pizza, tropical ice drinks and all sorts of dogs. Boy Scout Troop 122 of Osceola is also present for its annual all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast. There are also many arts and crafts and other booths.
Sam Kindley of Mishawaka was at a booth that featured the cigar box guitars he makes. �They�ve been making them since the Depression,� said Kindley. �They used to make them out of broom handles, and cigar boxes, and any kind of wire they could find.� Kindley said the guitars were played mostly in the Delta by blues musicians, and that �there has been a big resurgence of it in the last few years. There are actually festivals dedicated to the music of cigar box guitars.�
Back on stage, it was time for Carl Bentley and the Eagle Creek Band of Morristown to take the stage, as 23 finished up its afternoon set. Carl�s son Mason, 5, may not have many licks down quite yet, but he sure knows how to wear a cowboy hat. Carl said his son accompanies the band on stage mostly to gain a sense of stage presence.
Bobby Johnston, 74, who had retired from bluegrass after a career that started at age 9 and featured appearances at the Grand Ole Opry and gigs with Conway Twitty, was also getting ready to take the stage with the Eagle Creek Band.
Johnston loves bluegrass sort of like the name of a band that he used to be in � A Thousand Pounds of Bluegrass. �When I was a kid there wasn�t nothing to do. We worked. We had no TV, we had no electricity. We had a battery-powered radio, and music was something to do. Kind of like a kid playing with a bicycle � but I never had one, I had a fiddle.�

People can speculate on his motives as to why he created the story. And if he did create the story to gain links or to stir up some controversy, he definitely achieved. Unfortunately the post has already been removed so I am not sure on exactly all that was said as I didn't want to really dig that deep into it anyways.
But it all comes down to people believing what they want. People have the choice to display what they want on their sites or in their business. If they don't research the consequences then they are just looking for trouble. I think that people don't fully realize that even though the Internet allows for some form of anonymity, there can still be dire consequences for what you decide to put on your site.

Terrible. Story.

It's definitely a shady technique and definitely demotes the trustworthiness of even such reputable networks as ::cough:: FOX, but personally I don't think too much into the DIGG effect other than a tool for people to spread 85% mildly entertaining randomness and maybe (stretching it here) 15% actual useful stuff - give or take if you like cats.
I hate that it's spam but I don't hate that he made it so that social media users could infect themselves.. Is that bad? I don't know - definitely agree things should be more standardized.
Posted 17 May 2008 - 06:06 AM
Who knows if it'll hurt Lyndoman's business. It should, but probably won't since there are lots of people out there who want to gain notice by any means necessary, regardless of ethics. But I'd have to guess that it'll probably hurt the reputation of money.co.uk a good bit. And with good reason. They are cuplable, and being a news outlet should be held to higher journalistic standards.
I would imagine by now they're just wishing it would all go away. Because the longer the discussion goes on, the more it hurts their reputation.
Here's a better question for you SEO's out there.
Would anybody take on this client now if they came to you looking to perform some damage control because of this or similar incidents? I don't SEO for others anymore, but if I did and if they came to me with the tale I'd turn them down flat and laugh at them for getting exactly what they deserved. A reputation for being an very unreliable news source. Hell, me being me I'd probably publish the details of their frantic attempts to control the damage done by their own stupidity!
As an aside, for any who attempt to view Jill's link above in IE7, you'll want to switch to another browser like Firefox. The template being used in the SMENE blog apparently has issues in IE. Jill, you may want to look into having someone create some IE specific css rules, which can then be triggered with conditional statements in the html template. As it is right now IE7 users won't see your thoughts at all. Just parts of some of the comments.

I can't really get on the page of it being a big deal.. for me it's a giant not-funny-news-style rickroll but only with useless information that's really only lowering the value of where it was placed. Now if more people started using this technique and don't see the harm in that it only lowers the quality of the website then yes there is definitely a problem.
For the most part I think everyone gets that it was a lame tact that hurts the brand as a whole and would have been more appropriate as some sort of 'April Fools' joke - but then again it likely wouldn't have been so widely spread.
It demoted the brand.. investors and people of that suit are likely to be more critical on the tact than whatever they benefit from it. Hurting your brand outweighs a bit extra search traffic by far IMO.

Some people are proud, so where does it end? Is it to lie and gain by hurting others?
Currently in the Uk we have some important bills going through the legislative system concerning human animal embryonic work, and also reducing the maximum time for abortion. this is a highly imotive subject, so how can I eploit this topical subject?
1. I could write an informative article that stays within the bounds of decency yet asks and answers the questions many people are asking.
2. I could set up a fake ethical 'view the foetus to be aborted' website make up loads of harrowing tales, start a forum thread going, start a petition for parliament etc while ALL of it is me and my team using fake names to generat e publicity. While totally exploiting the situation while causing upset
Now don't get me wrong, if you are a pro life website, then of course it would be legitimate to start a debate on eithics, then I would expect (and want) to see video etc of a foetus at the 20 week stage , in order to make my call. BUT and it really is a huge but, in this format it is meant to be informative, and the information, albeit biased, is honest and true.
I think you can see where I am coming from, and to post fake information on a finance site, when many people are struggling financially, and to make it so it will cause pain and suffering to innocent people, ALL for the sake of some backlinks?
Well sorry to say but their clients deserve to lose their Google trust factor, and the company in question deserve to pay!
Shall I get off the fence now

Posted: Oct 11, 2012 11:20 AM by Marnee Banks - MTN News
HELENA - We will be airing our first live debate of this campaign cycle on Saturday when Republican Steve Daines and Democrat Kim Gillan square off in their race for Montana's lone U.S. House seat.
State Political Reporter Marnee Banks recently spent some time with the candidates on the campaign trail, and the two readily admit that they don't see eye-to-eye on the issues.
Daines is a private businessman from Bozeman who says he believes the nation needs more jobs and less government, saying that "we face a $16 trillion debt."
Gillan is a former State Senator from Billings who believes America needs a problem solver.
"We only have one voice in the US House of Representatives," she said.
Daines told us that his top three priorities are creating jobs, balancing the federal budget and reducing federal regulations.
"I don't believe we need to raise taxes to solve the problems in this country. This is primarily a spending issue. It's not a revenue issue in Washington. So, I think we need to look across the board and nothing is off-limits and we need to be looking at how every agency, every department comes to the table now finding ways to do more with less. Then we are going to have to go back and look at across the board reductions in spending," he said.
Gillan agrees the federal government needs to tighten its belt, but she says there are some programs which are just off-limits.
"Without Social Security and Medicare, without those two programs, 58% of Montana's senior citizens would be living below the poverty line," she said.
Daines says he supports reforming the Medicare system and allowing future retirees to purchase their health insurance on the private market as part of his fundamental belief that the federal government is too big. He also backs a balanced budget amendment as well as the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
"I call it the unaffordable healthcare act, we can't afford this," he said.
Gillan says she supports the law, adding that Congress instead needs to focus on making the tax system more fair for the middle class by closing tax loopholes on big corporations. She says she will support bills which put Montanans back to work through workforce development programs and infrastructure projects.
"Here we are driving along the Interstate, without some federal dollars we would not be able to maintain this interstate. We just passed two trucks, they are shipping good and services in and out of Montana. So, I am not too sure how the catch phrase of less government more jobs really is going to have a positive influence on Montana's economy," she explained during a recent road trip.
One thing is clear about these two candidates, they see the role of the federal government very differently.
The Montana Television Network will host a debate between Daines and Gillan that will air Saturday at 9 p.m. and it will be live streamed on our websites. It will be followed by post-debate coverage on the 10 p.m. news.

Community Technology
Technology Matching Fund
Community Problem Solving, Civic Engagement, and Community Building
The city encourages projects that apply information technology to solving community problems, encouraging civic engagement and supporting community building. We look for projects that will engage individuals not usually involved in the civic process. The goal is to integrate technology tools into community building and civic engagement activities, which may result in a mix of online and in-person activities.
These projects should ultimately result in: 1) Increased awareness of community issues; and 2) Increased community participation in problem solving. 3) In creased interaction with government.
Here are links to some community problem solving, civic engagement and community building examples. You are not limited to these types of projects: International District Housing Alliance Youth and Seniors project Video International District Housing Alliance Youth and Seniors project presentation America Speaks E-democracy Bridging the Gap between Citizens and Local Government with Information Technology
Your project could expand the use of Internet tools (such as email lists, web forums, collaboration tools) or use in-person technology (such as mobile polling, photo or video, mapping devices). Your project is likely to include marketing and training activities to encourage participation.
This is a relatively new area for many community groups, so we invite you to contact us to discuss your ideas.

A Promising Flee
Bird Courage
Brooklyn duo, Bird Courage, have been releasing lo-fi acoustic goodness since 2011. With a debut full length and a handful of singles released online, their most recent (January 2012), though short, release is definitely a cut above most others I've heard in similar styles. A Promising Flee, at only five songs, is far too short in my opinion, but I enjoyed every second of the album.
The opening title track is a hustle of strummed acoustics and brilliant lyric/melody play. It reminds me of the frantic, angsty acoustic punk I grew up listening to, but with softer lyrics and better writing. The latter part of the album sweeps in to chamber folk, with finger picked guitars, tight harmonies, and a comfortable amount of reverb on everything; Sounding like a stripped and tamed Fleet Foxes with a touch of The Tallest Man on Earth and slice of Iron & Wine. I can really get behind this album for its slick, understated delivery and refreshing take on a nearly worn out genre.
The album leaves much in a similar style to as how it began. A strong punch of acoustic guitars with a thumping kick drum making an appearance. This last tune reminds me of Mumford and Sons with its strumming patterns and lyrics.
I heavily suggest looking into Bird Courage and A Promising Flee if you're in need of something new to add to your fall/winter playlists.
Song in the Wind
Donna Greenberg
Toronto vocalist/ songwriter Donna Greenberg presents Song in the Wind, her second record full of original tunes. An eclectic mix of jazz, swing, Latin, and ballads comprise the main structure of this adult contemporary album.
Between the beautiful arrangements, musicianship, and Greenberg's especially tasteful, jazzy voice, there is a lot happening here. Groovy Latin percussion and Bossa Nova beats are the backbone with a wide range of exotic instruments fleshing out the sound. And although the instrumentation is great, what I found to be completely astounding was the many different languages that Donna's songs were translated and sung in. As I am no linguistic expert I needed to refer to her press kit to find out that she sings in Spanish, French, Brazilian, Portuguese, and Italian. Amazing.
Even though I found this to be the most unique album I've heard all year, I did find myself getting a little bored. However, I was looking forward to the solos in each song, exhibited by world class talent. Tasteful nylon string guitars, saxophone, and clarinet were the stitches that held it all together for me.
I should have either learned to tango or popped a bottle of red and drawn a bath before diving into this record, so maybe you can give that a shot instead. Check out Ms. Greenberg at www.DonnaGreenberg.com

HDD recovery is a way of retrieving lost data on a hard disk drive. Usually, the disk could be exposed to physical damage, which could mechanically spoil it for example, if a laptop fell on a hard ground. However, corrupt files could also damage the hard drive erasing all its data. One could manually retrieve the data or use special software designed to do the work. Manual retrieval of data in a damaged hard drive would take time and is also cost involving. Software developers also charge highly for their products and services. However, the best thing is that HDD recovery is the best thing in panicking situation especially where one fears of totally losing their data.
The lesson therefore is to take good care of the computer. One should not put it in compromising positions as its hard drive might get damaged easily and cost heavily. A backup is very necessary for every document a computer user considers useful. Just because of the availability of HDD recovery one should not be careless to lose their data as it is sometimes impossible to retrieve the data especially where the hard disk is physically damaged; some of its components have broken down completely.
Why You Need HDD Recovery
Hard drivers are finely tuned machinery where the important data and files are stored for further use when necessary. These data and files can be lost due to failure of Hard Drive functioning. The failure may be on account of various reasons, such as malfunction of power up systems, dropping, hitting, excessive heat or other external factors, including "write head" damage, "head arm" malfunctions or platter corruption. It is not obvious that hard disk failure does not necessarily mean that all the data has been lost. In some cases, the damage is confined to some sets of files that were stored in the damaged sector of hard drive. If the damage to the HDD is a result of proper use, the recovery in such case improves.
HDD recovery is a process of recovery of the lost data and files. HDD recovery involves accessing a computer disk as part of an effort to salvage data. HDD recovery is done when a disk fails to perform properly and there are no backups of data. There are various processes and number of resources for the purpose of HDD recovery of any computer. If the damage is considered serious in nature, it would be wise to send to the HDD service center.

Taking a broader tack, there were times when access to information on the web was slip-shoddy since organizations could not install the expensive programs necessary to restrict accessibility. Now, the two aspects of security approach, namely the physical workplaces and the documents, have altered for good thanks to new cloud access control software. For it to be modern, this kind of set up would call for the following
