Nobody directly asked me, but I feel an urge to comment on the current dust-up over the proposed Berry Library. I disagree with just about every point the Design Review Committee makes in their recently-publicized list of objections.
The Design Review Committee (DRC) alleges that the proposed building's "massive length" creates a barrier between the existing campus and the proposed north quadrangle. The Berry design appears to me no wider east-to-west than the existing Baker Library edifice, a building that presently effects a dramatic division between the green and almost all points north. The proposed building could not possibly aggravate this division, and may indeed ameliorate it by providing another front for a building complex that now has an unsightly rear. (I almost wish the Berry design was even wider so as to require the razing of SAE.)
The DRC finds that the Berry design fails to relate "in a substantive way" to Baker. I disagree. The west and east ends appear to me to meld with Baker in both scale and in material, especially since recent alterations now call for more brick. The height of the building will not obscure Baker Tower from any angle, and I suspect that the tower will appear interestingly bizarre from the northern vantage over the top of Berry. The contrast between the mill-quoting design of the Berry facade and the neo-Georgian arrogance of Baker, the efficient-looking lines of the Berry with the insistently inefficient lines and spaces of the sprawling Baker, appeals to me. And the material quotations of the old in the new guarantee that these bold contrasts will prompt fruitful comparison, not just feelings of discord and disjunction. Baker speaks of a Dartmouth where substance took second place to appearances; Berry suggests the opposite without being snotty or condescending about it (even though I am).
The DRC's point about the "clarity" of Dartmouth's "Colonial past" escapes me entirely. I am not aware of any colonial period building of any architectural significance on this campus. Dartmouth Hall (1784) is very old, but not pre-revolutionary. Perhaps the handsomest buildings on the green, Rollins Chapel and Wilson, have nothing colonial about them at all. And as to the "18th-century Cartesian rationality" that the DRC thinks we ought to preserve (Descartes, however, was a pre-revolutionary thinker), the less we dwell on that, say I, the better. Cartesian dualism was due for a rest long ago, but Dartmouth failed to recognize that until quite recently.
The DRC cites Cummings Hall as a good example of reinterpreting the adjacent old with a spirit of the new. That's fairly true, but Cummings Hall was never intended to be a major architectural anchor to any section of the campus. Berry is supposed to be just that, and as such, it ought to be big, singular and remarkable, not a mere "addition" either to an existing building or even an existing section of campus.
I find I disagree so sharply with the DRC largely because I cannot share their assumptions about what this project should be and what it should say. This project, the largest and most significant campus building undertaken since The Hopkins Center, should not settle for being nothing more than "a seamless connection between the original campus and the northern quadrangle," especially since the original campus is either somewhere in Connecticut, or Dr. Wheelock's first Hanover log cabin. The Berry Library, whatever else it might be, should NOT be just more of the same neo-Georgian doggerel. Dartmouth deserves a vision of a brighter, more adventurous future. A building "that fundamentally relates to Baker Library" would be a building that sends messages I cannot condone. Baker was never a good library building; it has always valued monumental arrogance over access to the collection, tower over stacks, portrait-laden hallways over bookshelves. The building sends anti-intellectual messages both inside and out. The Berry design should announce a break with those messages even as it acknowledges Dartmouth's past.
Finally, the Dartmouth campus is not, never has been, and I hope never will be "experienced as a cohesive whole." Any institution of Dartmouth's age, over two centuries, ought to exhibit traces in its architecture of all the eras it has inhabited. It should not try to concoct a false uniformity or cohesion that obscures its age, its maturity, and its recognition of the contingencies of history in the life of an old institution. Visitors in the next century will look for signs of every era in Dartmouth's rich and various past. Let's not disappoint them by trying to pretend history, even Dartmouth's history, is full of "Colonial clarity," "seamless" connections, and a $40 million building without a "separate identity."

Dad's age didn't matter unless father was older, mom much younger, study found
MONDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Older moms are more likely to have a child with autism than women who give birth at a younger age, new research shows.
Researchers from University of California, Davis, looked at records for the nearly 5 million births in California between 1990 and 1999, a decade in which autism incidence increased 600 percent statewide.
A woman's risk of having a child diagnosed with autism rose by 18 percent for each five-year increment in her age, according to the study. That means that a woman who gave birth at age 40 or older had a more than 50 percent greater chance of having a child with autism than a woman who gave birth between 25 and 29, and a 77 percent greater chance of having an autistic child than a woman who gave birth before the age of 25.
While previous research has shown that older dads are more likely to have a child with autism, this study found no such link between autism and paternal age, with one exception -- older men who had children with much younger women.
Men over 40 who had a child with a woman under 30 had a nearly 60 percent increased risk of having a child diagnosed with autism compared to men aged 25 to 29 who fathered a child with a young woman.
Among mothers over 30, the increased risk associated with having a baby with a man older than 40 dissipated, according to the study in the Feb. 8 online issue of the journal Autism Research.
In California, women having babies over age 40 increased by 300 percent between 1982 and 2004, the researchers noted. Still, they stressed that the rise in women over 40 having babies probably accounted for less than 5 percent of the statewide surge in autism cases noted in 1990s.
"Advancing maternal age is contributing only a very small proportion of the increase in autism cases," said study author Janie Shel

BBB November Hot Topics
1. H1N1 Scam:
Be wary of any email or web site related to H1N1. People are falling victim to scams online, from "cure-all" supplements, to "H1N1 Flu Kits" that make claims to prevent you from catching the flu. The FDA recently created an H1N1 "Fraudulent Product List," available on its Web site: www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/h1n1flu/.
2. BBB Scam:
If you are 50 years old or older, it's time to be checked for colon cancer.
"Screening and early detection can save lives," said Kentucky Department for Public Health Commissioner Commissioner William D. Hacker, M.D. "If you are 50 or older or have a history of colon cancer in your family, get checked. It's the best way to ensure your future health and well-being, avoid more serious complications and reduce the cost of health care."
This holiday season, everyone will be hunting for a bargain. The Better Business Bureau is warning online shoppers that some deals are just too good to be true.
"Everyone will be looking for the best deals this year and scammers know that they can take advantage of that by using low prices to lure in victims," says Reanna Smith-Hamblin, Communications Director for the BBB.
BBB offers the following advice to help make online shopping a safe and easy experience this holiday season:
FRANKFORT - For many, Thanksgiving means a home-cooked feast with family and friends. In light of this holiday tradition, the Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) reminds Kentuckians that food safety should also be a part of the celebration.
Many holiday dinners incorporate meat and poultry, a possible source of foodborne disease unless handled and prepared properly. This holiday season, DPH urges consumers to take precautions in preparing food items and to pay close attention to good hygiene practices.
It's been 10 years since the kidnapping and murder of 17-year-old Jessica Dishon.
After the initial suspect, David "Bucky" Brooks, was indicted but the proceedings ended in a mistrial, there has been no other charges.
There were hundreds of theories in back in 1999 with just as many suspects named. Yet, to date, another trial has not been held.
After the media circus which surrounded the case 10 years ago and the ensuing trial, things have been quiet.

The finding "evens the playing field when thinking about the development of language," Hopkins said. "The brain is not making a distinction between gestures and verbal language. It's possible that speech co-opted the neural networks that underlie gestures."
Hopkins and his colleagues, who study the evolution of gesturing in chimps, have found that chimps, like humans, have a preference for using their right hand. In chimps, this right-handedness is obvious only when they're communicating information to either another chimp or a human. And brain scans of the chimps, taken when they were using their right hand to communicate, identified activation of the same regions that Gannon's research identified.
The implications of all this? Some experts say that Gannon's finding could help researchers and clinicians understand and treat brain conditions such as aphasia, which wipes out people's ability to comprehend information and express themselves verbally, and autism, which involves a complex array of language-based problems. Others think it might be possible to strengthen these brain connections or open new doors for communication with gestures.

Migration to and through Mexico has been a critical policy issue for the Mexican government since the 1980s, as large numbers of Central Americans have flowed in through the country's porous southern border, first in flight during times of civil war and humanitarian crises and later in pursuit of greater economic opportunity in the United States.

Is there an easy way to filter out "Non-Intentional" stories from the Facebook Graph API. For instance, when I check a user's feed I get tons of "John Smith is now friends with xyz" posts, which are not actually posted by a user.
The graph API used to not return these at all. For older Facebook apps, there is a migration setting "Include recent activity stories" which suppressed these, but new apps don't get that migration option.
I've resorted to a RegEx and checking for a "story_tags" attribute, but I was hoping there's a cleaner way (maybe a query flag to the /feed endpoint?)

Latest Headlines
Windows Phone hasn't managed to achieve the kind of developer mindshare of Apple's iOS or Google Play, but if the early Twitter reaction is any indication, Microsoft may have much better success with its new Windows Holographic effort.
Even Microsoft might be surprised to learn that developers on Twitter were almost universally positive about its "universal app" plans.
There aren't a lot of ways Microsoft will be able to follow up its recent announcement of Office for the iPad, but confirmation that it will acquire Xamarin would come pretty close. If the rumors are true, though, it would suggest that Microsoft is aggressively moving in a mobile-first direction that leaves much of its legacy baggage behind.
Microsoft's $7.5 billion deal to buy Nokia's devices and services business and license its patents is now expected to close in April, later than the companies had hoped. The companies said regulators in Asia still need to approve the deal.
Huawei said it has no plans to release a dual-OS smartphone running Microsoft's Windows Phone and Google's Android, contradicting earlier statements from a Huawei executive.
Huawei plans to release a smartphone that runs both Microsoft's Windows Phone and Google's Android in the U.S. market in the second quarter of this year, according to a Huawei executive.
Microsoft will waive license fees for its Windows Phone software for two Indian handset vendors, Karbonn and Lava, according to a Times of India report. The report, which cited unnamed sources, made clear that Microsoft was pursuing the move to bolster its market share in the fast-growing Indian market.
If the rumors about Microsoft bringing Android to its mobile phones are true, the company can expect a sharply divided developer community.
It's the kind of strategy that might catch iOS and Android developers off guard: a mobile OS platform provider going out of its way to make it easier to publish on its app store.
Nokia's overall handset business reported a drop in sales for the fourth quarter and the company posted weaker smartphones sales in the period than it did in the third quarter, a troubling sign since the holiday season is typically the strongest for smartphone makers. The earnings, which likely will be the last in which Nokia reports handset sales, come just as Microsoft is finalizing a $7.4 billion deal to take over Nokia's devices business and underscore the challenges Microsoft will face as a hardware maker.

At the Tate Modern, a mammoth sized 3-way plug hangs above an exhibition space. And in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, Oldenburg's delectable Spoonbridge and Cherry artwork.

College is over in Oklahoma — now what?
"I'm a person that really likes having a plan, so moving somewhere without a job was an uncharacteristic move on my part," she said.
After arriving about two weeks ago, she has applied to more than 30 jobs in editing, marketing, advertising and copy writing. As she applies, she dreams of a career as a food writer for a major newspaper.
Be serious
"Be selective and only apply for those things you're serious about," Goodwin said. "You shouldn't apply for a job on a whim or for a practice interview because you're going to be wasting your time and your recruiter's time."
While journalism isn't one of the majors with the highest rates of unemployment, Lecza is still worried about finding a permanent job.
Lecza has savings to use for rent and food, but she predicts that money will run out by the end of the summer. If she doesn't find a "big girl job" by then she said she will have to get a job at a clothing shop or waitressing — anything to pay the bills.
"I'm not married and I don't have any kids or anything so I feel like this is the time in life to go ahead and make those crazy decisions," Lecza said.
A few weeks after graduation, Merckling got a paid internship at a health care consultation company in Texas, detouring his permanent job hunt for now. A family friend offered him the internship as a steppingstone to get experience in the health care field. Ultimately, Merckling wants to go into politics to help craft health care legislation.
According to Georgetown University's 2013 Hard Times report, graduates with fitness majors have small levels of unemployment — only 5.2 percent. Regardless, Merckling got few calls back for job interviews. And at the two interviews he did get, Merckling said he felt underqualified for the positions because he was up against professionals with advanced degrees or more than five years of experience.
"That's my trouble," he said. "I'm in a market which is just saturated with college degrees and I don't have the experience a lot of people have."
While Merckling heads off to his internship for the summer, Lecza continues the job hunt on her computer as she overlooks the city in her Chicago apartment. After having at least three jobs during college, she feels weirdly idle.
"Everybody's always saying you're never going to find a job in your field," Lecza said. "It's so hard, and there are so few jobs, but if I'm going to find a job anywhere it's going to be in a big city."
It's a huge adjustment going from your own place back to your parents' place. It's like I can't take 10 steps without telling them where I'm going. It's like I'm back in high school."
Mitch Merckling,
OU graduate

The Wiki summary here is good, and you can go read other sources if you'd like.
I have recently established a web site containing a summary of what actually will be done within the purview of our research.
The Overview is a summary of a longer classified document (unavailable until WikiLeaks or the Washington Post releases it).
J. R. Pleis et al., "summary Health Statistics for US Adults: National Health Interview Survey, 2009."
A summary of the facts to date can sit comfortably as the lead story in Sunday's New York Times.
This summary of Indian stories and their investigators is necessarily incomplete.
He had not reckoned upon being dealt with in this summary fashion.
According to this summary, the world has been formed by the universal soul: this soul is the same as their spiritus, or spirit.
The summary of a lesson, given by the class, is a test of the effectiveness of instruction.
In conclusion, it would be vain to attempt to summarize what is already too much of a summary.
early 15c., from Medieval Latin summarius "of or pertaining to the sum or substance," from Latin summa "whole, gist" (see sum). Sense of "done promptly" is first found 1713. The noun meaning "a summary statement or account" is first recorded c.1500, from Latin summarium "an epitome, abstract, summary," from summa "totality, gist."

Yes, for the people denied property rights it largely is. However, they don't require capitalists to deny themselves property rights, and the pre-revolutionary Russian serfs maintained a system very much like that, where each village would
-decide which families got to work which plots of land, based on how many children they had, etc, all in the name of fairness and efficiency. The result was the poorest class of people north of Africa, because nobody would make any improvements on the land (since someone else might get the same plots next year), and the plots weren't even contiguous. They could give you a dozen narrow strips that were far apart from each other, so you spent half your day moving from one to the other. But the land and resources were allocated fairly!
No, Socialism is government ownership of the means of production.

This is 5 stars for sure. So simple but so good.
This was a big hit! People were surprised to hear that the combo was fig and black olive, but it was much loved. I served with crackers. Thanks for sharing!
Loved the combination of salty and sweet! I started serving on crackers, but quickly switched to delicious crusty italian bread. Wonderful treat this Christmas! Thanks for sharing. Made for Photo Tag!
Ohhhh....Mikekey....this recipe is beyond 5 stars!!! I served it with warm french bread and with crostini. I am personally blaming you for the 2lbs. I gained by eating so much. This recipe was very simple and I was curious about the taste of the fig with the black olive and in my opinion, it was excellent.
Congratulations on your Week 3 win in the 2012 Football Pool!!!!

Yesterday, Today and Forever
This morning, as I have read through the 12th and 13th chapters of Hebrews, the following verse jumped out as a great reminder of the great hope we have in Him. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. – (Hebrews 13:8) Few words hold so much power and promise.
Jesus is our Healer, Redeemer, Father and Friend. He promises to never leave us nor forsake us, and His love endures forever. No matter what comes our way, He is present and His words remain true. Our greatest hope lies not only in who He is today, but in all that He has in store for us for all of eternity. May we trust in He whom we have known to be faithful in the past; receive all that He is offering to prepare us for today, and hope in the promises that will endure forever.
is always the same;
our Holy High Priest,
there's no greater Name.
He will never change,
His love shall endure;
we can trust in Him,
our hope is secure.
The God that has been,
is the same today;
and will ever be,
for now and always.
His love never ends,
His grace He pours out;
may we hope in Christ,
dispeller of doubt.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are the same yesterday, today and forever. Thank You that we can trust completely in You. Thank You that because of Your sacrifice, we can come to You and place all of our hope in You. Forgive us for doubting Who You are, or Your faithfulness when times are uncertain. Teach us to trust You more, so that we will be certain of who You are, regardless of what comes our way. Lead us to love others as You so graciously love each of us, and may many come into a lasting relationship with You as a result. Be glorified Lord God, as we trust in who You are and the unchanging nature of Your goodness and grace. Amen.
© Shannon Elizabeth Moreno and Revelations in Writing, May 2011 – present.
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; …write them on the tablet of your heart. – Proverbs 3:3
Thought For the Day
Do we love the Lord with passion from a deep wellspring? Is it love to be tolerant of those committing evil? Or is it instead a apathy? How do we stand before God a say"I loved my neighbor" and yet bridled our passion in order to not offend man? Our God is not a shallow god! His passions run deep! To feel His love is almost indescribable! "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches." – Revelation 3:14-22 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation3:14-22&version=NIV
Oh Lord, please do not let me forget that fire of your love and presence, in Jesus name I pray! I Love you Lord!
An Undivided Heart
I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh. Then they will follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. They will be my people, and I will be their God. – (Ezekiel 11:19-20)
Though the Israelites had been sent away and scattered, and had become divided from God and each other, the Lord was making a promise to His people. God gave word that He would restore them back to their land once again. Verses nineteen and twenty were further promises to His people that He is faithful.
The promises spoken for the Israelites, are still available for us today. When we seek Christ, He will give us an undivided heart and place His spirit within us. He takes our hardened, calloused heart, and exchanges it for one that is soft, tender and vulnerable. His Spirit directs our path as to what we should and should not do, and He calls us His own, and He is our God.
once as hard as stone;
transformed by Jesus Christ,
through whom love is shown.
He grants us His Spirit,
to dwell in our heart;
so each of us will know,
His path from the start.
He makes us His people,
and He is our God;
He transforms and grows us,
let the earth applaud.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You grant us an undivided heart and a new spirit within us. Thank You that when we seek to find You, You are ready and waiting for us. Thank You that You exchange our hard hearts for ones of flesh that are soft and open to all that You ask. Thank You that Your Spirit within us makes known the paths we're meant to take, and helps lead us and guide us in the ways we are meant to go. Thank You that we are Your people and that You are our God. Forgive us for our words and deeds that do not reflect that relationship. Help us to be a rightful representation of You before the world, as we go forth in love, just as You love us. May many come to know You as their Savior and King, as they too, grant You full access to their hearts and lives. Be glorified, Lord God, in all that we say and do. Amen.

But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ. – Ephesians 2:4-5
Firm for Our Forever
But he who stands firm in the end will be saved. – (Matthew 24:13)
A life fixed on faithfully following the Father, is not for the fearful nor faint of heart. Temptations and trials are guaranteed, and choosing to willfully set aside our own pride and plans for those prepared for us by our Father in heaven, is not an easy undertaking. Daily, we must decide to either do His will, or our own. Though our way may lead to momentary satisfaction, His way, leads to a life everlasting. Temporary discomfort is well worth our eternal exchange. He has given His life for ours, so that we may lay hold of all that He has promised, and claim it as our own. The Lord is our strength and our supply, and will provide all that we need to weather every storm. Often He will ask us to step out of the boat to walk toward Him through the wind and waves, but He is always within an arm's reach, ready to lift us up if we begin to sink.
hold fast to the end;
to our Lord Jesus,
our Savior and friend.
Though trials will come,
and seas will get rough;
our Lord Jesus Christ,
is always enough.
His strength when we're weak,
His peace in our storm;
His hope is secure,
in Him, we're reborn.
Hold fast to the One,
whose preparing room;
for all who follow,
to be with Him soon.
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that despite the trials and tribulations that come our way, if we stand firm in You, we are assured of our eternal security. Thank You that though at times days seem long, they are but a blink of an eye in comparison to our eternity with You. Forgive us for our faltering faith, and help us to hold fast to You in all things and at all times. May our confidence in You encourage others to seek the security found in You alone, and may many find safety in You. Let us love others as we are loved by You. Be exalted in all that we say and do. Amen.

But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ. – Ephesians 2:4-5
Have Mercy Upon Me, O Lord
Psalm 6:1 O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger,
neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak:
O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.
3 My soul is also sore vexed:
but thou, O Lord, how long?
4 Return, O Lord, deliver my soul:
oh save me for thy mercies 'sake.
5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee:
in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
6 I am weary with my groaning;
all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears.
7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief;
it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity;
for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my supplication;
the Lord will receive my prayer.
10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed:
let them return and be ashamed suddenly. (KJV)

Doest thou well to be angry?
Jonah Chapter 4
1 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish:for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. 3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry? 5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city. 6 And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd. 7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered. 8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live. 9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death. 10 Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? (KJV)
You can run but you can't hide
Chapter 1
1 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. 3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish:so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
4 But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken. 5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. 6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not. 7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. 8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou? 9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land. 10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous. 12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you:for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you. 13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not:for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them. 14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood:for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee. 15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea:and the sea ceased from her raging. (KJV)
Word for the Day
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Thought for the Day
1 Corinthians 13:12 KJV "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: for now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."

US considering 'other military options' in Iraq
The US government is considering "other military options" in Iraq, a media report said here Thursday.
President Barack Obama is considering air strikes or airdrops of food and medicine to address a humanitarian crisis among as many as 40,000 religious minorities in Iraq, who have been dying of heat and thirst on a mountaintop following death threats from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, reported Xinhua citing CNN.
About 50,000 Yazidis are thought to have been trapped in the mountains after fleeing Sinjar town - although the UN says some of them have now been rescued.

Big Ten to add lacrosse, Hopkins as affiliate
Published June 3, 2013 10:15 am
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Park Ridge, Ill. • The Big Ten is adding lacrosse as a sport in 2015 and welcoming Johns Hopkins as an affiliate member for men's lacrosse only.
The addition of men's and women's lacrosse to the conference portfolio will boost the number of league sports to 28.
Both the men's and women's lacrosse leagues will include Maryland, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers. Maryland and Rutgers officially join the conference starting in 2014.
Six teams are required to hold a conference championship, so adding Johns Hopkins as an affiliate member brings the Big Ten to the minimum number for men's lacrosse. The sixth team on the women's side will be current Big Ten member Northwestern.

Briefly: eSATA performance reviewed, VoIP gaining popularity
updated 02:55 pm EDT, Fri May 21, 2010
People dissatisfied with carrier reception
A new Mac Performance Guide has been released by diglloyd, which looks at the performance of several eSATA cards in the MacBook Pro, while Line2, a VoIP service provider, has recently conducted a survey claiming a growing interest in VoIP as a primary calling service.
diglloyd has updated its series of Mac Performance Guides with a new article covering the performance of several eSATA cards available for the MacBook Pro. The guide looks at three different models, including the OWC Slim ExpressCard to eSATA Adapter ($28), Sonnet Tempo SATA Pro ($198), and Sonnet Tempo SATA Edge ($50). Testing is said to show that in all cases eSATA cards outperform FireWire 800, but due to the MacBook Pro's low-bandwidth ExpressCard/34 slot, top performance is only between 45 and 70 percent of the fastest peripherals for the Mac Pro. Out of the three eSATA cards the review says that the Sonnet Tempo SATA Pro offers the absolute best performance, though for a fraction of the cost, the OWC card is only 10 percent slower. Also in favor of OWC is plug-and-play compatibility, and an ability to boot a computer from an eSATA drive.
Line2 survey finds reasons for customers switching to VoIP
A recent survey, conducted and promoted by Line2, has revealed that more than 80 percent of its customers would be interested in using VoIP as their primary method of making calls. The survey was also intended to discover the reasons that led customers to try a VoIP calling app in the first place. Results showed that the number one reason was a dissatisfaction with the reception provided by their carrier, while other incentives included reducing the cost of a phone bill, adding a second number for business calls, and cheap international calling. Line2 produces a VoIP app for the iPhone and iPod touch.

There are already a significant enough number of threads on the matter -- this entire forums is about discussions on the packets anyway -- but here is my view on the manner. Note that I will be using 4E terms primarily, mostly because I've played and DMed that edition.
Simply put: not enough pros, and the devs still a lot to work on before I can actually run it with my group.
There are already a significant enough number of threads on the matter -- this entire forums is about discussions on the packets anyway -- but here is my view on the manner. Note that I will be using 4E terms primarily, mostly because I've played and DMed that edition.
The Good
- Advantage/Disadvantage. This is so far the biggest praise I have for the playtest (and I'm considering houseruling my 4E games to use this as well). With only cover, superior cover and dodge as the static modifiers, everything else is either "roll twice and get the better" and "roll twice and get the worse". Simple, effective.
- Finesse Weapons. A simple solution to a long-standing issue regarding basic attacks. Effectively removes feat tax (for some).
- At-Will Cantrips. They at least took a hint from 4E on this one.
- Action Simplification. Keeping it simple. I like this.
- Fighter is decent. Not as good as the 4E Fighter (pre-Essentials and post-Essentials), but still tolerable.
The Bad
- Hit Dice. The main thing that saves this from going to "the ugly" section is the fact that we're looking at Hit Dice + Constitution modifier per HD, allowing an 18 CON Wizard to regain 5-8 HP per Hit Dice (a level 1 Wizard with 18 CON would have 19-22 HP). Otherwise, I actually prefer 4E surges in that it's a bit more realistic that more damage taken = more effort to recover hit points, as opposed to "I luckily roll and remove all the damage I can take with one hit die".
- Missing mechanics. Apparently weapon training and skill training is +3. To be expected from a playtest module though, so it's only at "bad".
- Only three magical power sources. Arcane, Divine, Psionics (to be introduced later). Arcane (and to some extent, Divine) really should have been broken down and properly distributed between the Primal, Elemental, Shadow, Martial, etc. sources. It's an appeal to pre-4E people though, so it's only bad and not ugly.
The Ugly
- Hit Point Progression. Hit point bloat still exists. Assuming a 14 CON Fighter, we're looking at an HP range of 16-26 at level 1, and 54-254 HP at level 20 (playtest sheets show averages, "how to play" has the HP rules).
- Vancian Magic in general. Not only is it back to classical Vancian, but flat out blocking wizards from casting spells when using armor? Seriously, not even encounter spells, which is closer to Vance's magic?
- Messy spells. While 4E's mechanics seem to be there in the rules, it's only with the INT vs. AC attacks. Everything else is just, well, out of whack, simply put: some spells grant ability saves, some don't grant any resistance, some grant variable resistance.
- Buried mechanics. The fact that everything is in paragraph form is aesthetically appealing to some, but the only thing saving you from the burden of having to pore through the entire wall of text just to look for (and use) the mechanical effects is the fact that all the text is relatively short. However, Grease, Hold Person, Mirror Image, and Turn Undead have questionable lengths especially in re-readability.
- Magic still trumps everything else. It's not as bad as 3.5, but seriously, Grease? Sleep?
- Monster system. It is absolutely horrible. Do the monster traits really have to be separated from the rest of the monster block? Do spellcaster monsters HAVE to use PC spells? Honestly, in spite of the complexity and challenge in creating monsters in 4E, at least they had the freedom to be anything the DM wants (on the fly).
- Wall of Text. As in buried mechanics for spells, but with the sheer amount of fluff text even within the mechanics, I fear that I can't even start running the playtest in my group, who are turned off by the archaic nature of the whole thing.
Simply put: not enough pros, and the devs still a lot to work on before I can actually run it with my group.
ShowThis is what I believe is the spirit of D&D 4E, and my deal breaker for D&D Next: equal opportunities, with distinct specializations, in areas where conflict happens the most often, without having to worry about heavy micromanagement or system mastery. What I hope to be my most useful contributions to the D&D Community: DM Idea: Collaborative Mapping, Classless 4E (homebrew system, that hopefully helps in D&D Next development), Gamma World 7E random character generator (by yours truly), and the Concept of Perfect Imbalance (for D&D Next and other TRPGs in development) Pre-3E D&D should be recognized for what they were: simulation wargames where people could tell stories with The Best Answer to "Why 4E?" Fun vs. Engaging

nyc clip
U sexy
Oh yeah, I went through something very similar to this. I was tutoring the girl across the street from me. Her mom had to work that evening and I was helping her daughter get ready for some finals in a couple of courses. The only difference was she kept rubbing my leg while I was trying to explain some of the subject matter. She told me that she could probably concentrate better if we made out first because that was all she could think about. She was shy about a finger in her ass at first, like this one, but soon really liked it and was pushing her ass hard back on my finger. We fucked and then we went doggy and I put my finger in her ass and she cummed right them. She said she had no idea her ass was that sensitive. We fucked more and then she wanted me to ass fuck her, so again, very carefully getting her ass ready and she used her hand to control my dick. It wasn't long before she shoved hard back on my dick and she really worked her ass, wanting more. I spent that weekend working with her, and when her mom wasn't around, we fucked. She passed her classes with good enough grades to get into college, but she continued to want more tutoring sessions and of course I couldn't deny her.

MTS Faces 'Significant' Loss From Uzbek Subsidiary, Tulgan Says
OAO Mobile TeleSystems, Russia's biggest mobile phone company, faces a 'significant' loss from its operations in Uzbekistan after the nation's authorities removed its license.
"We are looking at a significant loss of value in Uzbekistan," Joshua Tulgan, director of investment relations at MTS, as the Russian company is known, said by phone from Moscow. "We are discussing possible scenarios for our second-quarter disclosure."
MTS invested about $1.5 billion in the Uzbek unit, he said. The company is scheduled to report second-quarter earnings on Aug. 28, Tulgan said.
Uzbekistan froze the company's license on July 17, saying MTS violated its permit and didn't pay enough taxes. The authorities prolonged a suspension of MTS's local unit's license for three months from July 30, the company said in a July 29 statement. The unit's acting chief financial officer and three other employees have been imprisoned since mid-July, Tulgan said.
"Four of our colleagues remain imprisoned, and we are actively seeking their release," Tulgan said. "We are considering legal strategies but right now it is too early to comment on any definitive steps."
