Cornelius Lanczos (1893-1974) was a physicist and mathematician who had a profound impact on the foundations of twentieth century science. His papers cover a vast array of disciplines, including general relativity, quantum mechanics, scientific computation, applied mathematics and numerical analysis. This Collection provides documentation (a) that Lanczos was indeed one of the twentieth century's most versatile and innovative scientific minds, and (b) that many of Lanczos's ideas are still of interest to present-day research in physics and applied mathematics. This Collection will be of special interest to theoretical physicists, numerical analysts and science historians. The Cornelius Lanczos Collected Published Papers with Commentaries (Lanczos Collection or CLCPPC herein-after referred to as the Collection) represents the second phase of a two-part celebration of the life and work of Cornelius Lanczos. The first phase of this celebration occurred in December 1993 when North Carolina State University's College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences hosted the Cornelius Lanczos International Centenary Conference. [See the Proceedings of the Cornelius Lanczos International Centenary Conference, J. D. Brown, M. T. Chu, D. C. Ellison and R. J. Plemmons, eds. (Philadelphia, PA: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics [SIAM], 1994.]

Origin and Purpose of the Collection
The Cornelius Lanczos Collected Published Papers with Commentaries represents the second phase of a two-part celebration of the life and work of Cornelius Lanczos (1893-1974), a physicist and mathematician who had a profound impact on the foundations of twentieth-century science. This Collection also provides documentation (a) that Lanczos was one of the twentieth century's most versatile and innovative scientific minds and (b) that many of Lanczos's ideas are still of interest to present-day research in physics and applied mathematics. The first phase of this celebration occurred in December 1993 when North Carolina State University's College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences hosted the Cornelius Lanczos International Centenary Conference. The proceedings of the Conference were published by SIAM in 1994. Cornelius Lanczos visited NCSU several times during the period 1962-1968, holding two Visiting Professorships, and remained in correspondence until his death in 1974 with NCSU faculty members, particularly Professor William R. Davis, the General Editor of the Collection.
Brief Characterization of Lanczos's Contributions and Research
Cornelius Lanczos's research covered a vast array of disciplines, including general relativity, quantum mechanics, applied mathematics and scientific computation. He produced seminal and discovery papers in these disciplines. He pioneered investigations in a large number of research areas and problems, many of which are still of widespread interest today. Some of the more well-known contributions and related papers and books are cited below. (To identify these references see the list of Lanczos's publications in the Proceedings of the Cornelius Lanczos International Centenary Conference SIAM]--> previously referenced.)
In general relativity, these investigations include:
The Einstein-Lanczos Correspondence
The written correspondence between Albert Einstein and Cornelius Lanczos spanned the years 1919 to 1955. Mostly handwritten in German, the letters number about 200 pages, all of which had to be carefully studied before Part 1 and most of the introductory sections of Part 2 of the Collection could be completed. The initial responsibility for this study was undertaken by Barbara Gellai. During the last four years of preparation of the Collection, this study of the Einstein-Lanczos Correspondence has also been part of the responsibility of William R. Davis with essential help provided by Don Ridgeway. The editors are very grateful to the Albert Einstein Archives, The Jewish National and University Library, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, for making this correspondence available to them. However, it must be pointed out that under the restrictions of the Albert Einstein Archives, only a very limited amount of the material could be quoted. Consequently, the editors needed to be highly selective in the materials chosen for direct quotation and translation. Nevertheless, a substantial amount of the material written in Part 1 and the introductory section of Part 2 reflects insights and information gained by the editors from the correspondence that is not directly quoted.
Commentaries on the Published Papers of Lanczos
During the eight-year period of preparation of this Collection, the editors assembled fifty-four reviewed commentaries which discuss the results of Lanczos's papers, his ideas and methods, and topics that were of interest to him. In addition to these discussions, a number of these commentaries also examine Lanczos's work and thought as they relate to or have influenced research areas of current interest in theoretical physics and applied mathematics. Except for revisions to make the commentaries compatible with the overall format of this Collection, papers have been published essentially as they were submitted by the authors. William R. Davis and Moody T. Chu took the primary responsibility for collecting the commentaries for Part 2 -- Physics and Part 3 -- Mathematics, respectively.
The Introductions
The editors and other contributors have written sixteen introductions for each major section of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of the Collection. These introductions generally remark upon the major results of the papers which are covered in the section and provide comments made by others relating to Lanczos's results around the time of their publication. Also, these introductions provide relevant historical information and connect Lanczos's results with more recent research which is discussed in the commentaries on selected papers provided in each section. Where appropriate, the introductions contain information and excerpts from the Einstein-Lanczos correspondence.
The Translations
Before 1935 Lanczos published most of his papers in German. After 1935 about 90 percent of the papers were published in English with the others being published in French, German and Hungarian. In the Collection, English translations of Lanczos's papers (forty-seven in all) are provided adjacent to each facsimile page of the originals. Accordingly, the translations have been carefully formatted page by page to reflect, as nearly as was practical, the original publications. Also, this arrangement facilitates checking mathematical equations in the translation with the original language paper.
Where necessary for clarity in the translations, the editors have included editorial notes. In these translations we have generally followed the principle of providing nearly literal translations, reflecting the syntax and sentence style of the traditional scholarly scientific language (German) in which Lanczos wrote.
These translations with each page facing its original language page could provide useful source material for graduate students in physics and mathematics to help them learn scientific foreign languages (German, French and Hungarian).
The Contents and Structure of the Collection
The Collection is divided into four major parts [Parts 1--4 should not to be confused with volume numbers I--VI for this Collection]:
Part 1 -- Biographical and Professional Information is divided into five sections.
Section 2.1 is a general section covering the publications primarily relating to general relativity appearing during the period 1922-1934. Also, Section 2.1 considers the content of Lanczos's dissertation, a facsimile of which is contained in the Appendix. The subjects of particular interest dealt with in this section include the following: coordinate conditions and coordinate problems in cosmology, surface distributions of matter and junction conditions, general treatment of weak fields, Green functions, variational principles and methods, the problem of motion, integral conservation laws, and the Cauchy problem.
Section 2.2 is a specialized section dealing with Lanczos's contributions to non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The subjects of particular interest in this section include Lanczos's field-type formulation of quantum mechanics late in 1925 that provides an integral formulation of Schrödinger's equations before Schrödinger's paper presenting his wave equation for quantum mechanics was published and before his paper that discussed the connection between matrix and wave mechanical formulations of quantum mechanics. Also, Section 2.2 deals with Lanczos's important work on the proper quantum mechanical treatment of the Stark effect in very strong electric fields and a number of important matters relating to the history of quantum mechanics.
Section 2.3 is a specialized section dealing with Lanczos's contributions to relativistic quantum mechanics. The subjects of particular interest included in this section are: a quaternion formulation and generalization of Dirac's equation that includes isospin, results connected with the particle doublets of Einstein and Mayer (1933), and results connected with the work of Proca (1932, 1936).
Section 2.4 is a specialized section dealing with Lanczos's new derivation of Dirac's equation for the electron in which he treats relativistic wave mechanics as the Hamiltonian dynamics of function space.
Section 2.5 deals with a survey paper written by Lanczos in 1931 which compares general relativity to the other physical theories and considers the problems of attempting to formulate unified field theories. Also, this section contains discussions connected with the modern notions of final theory, including matters concerning the recent Hawking-Penrose debate and related philosophical issues.
Section 2.6 is a general section covering the published works of Lanczos in the period 1935-1955. The subjects of particular interest in physics in this period include: a curved space-time elasticity type formulation, including general relativity; a characterization of the most general quadratic variational principle in Riemannian space-time; a paper attempting to deal with gravitation, electricity, and matter waves; and writings on Einstein and the development of the theory of relativity. Also, the introduction to Section 2.6 contains some particularly interesting quotations from the Einstein-Lanczos correspondence.
Section 2.7 is a general section covering the published works of Lanczos in the period 1956-1967. The subjects of particular interest in physics are: a unified theoretical formulation of gravitation and electromagnetism based on a variational principle quadratic in the components of the curvature tensor; Einstein and the role of contemporary physics; splitting the Riemann curvature tensor; propagation of signals in positive definite Riemannian metrics with a four-fold lattice structure; a microphysical oscillating tetrad lattice universe (lattice constant of the order of 10-32 cm); and an appreciation of William Rowan Hamilton.
Section 2.8 is a specialized section dealing with the discovery and properties of the third order Lanczos tensor, antisymmetric in a pair of components, which exists in all Riemannian space-times. In particular, the Lanczos tensor is discussed in connection with its possible fundamental role relating to gravitational radiation.
Section 2.9 is a general section covering Lanczos's publications in the period 1968-1975. The subjects of special interest in physics in this section include: improved method for dealing with a variational principle with scale invariant variational principle quadratic in the components of the curvature tensor; Einstein's path from special to general relativity; Einstein and the future; further elaboration of the signature of Minkowski space-time derived in terms of an underlying submicroscopic highly agitated lattice metric substructure that is positive definite; speculations about a connection between the Minkowski signature and the quantum principle; further development of a scale invariant quadratic variational principle governing the fundamental lattice metric substructure; and solutions for the field equations of the scale invariant quadratic variational principle in the linear approximation.
Part 3 -- Mathematics is divided into four sections: Section 3.1--Linear Algebra (1936-1958); Section 3.2--Theory of Approximations (1938-1964); Section 3.3--Fourier Analysis and Orthogonal Polynomials (1942-1975); and Section 3.4--Differential Equations and Integration (1935-1968). Each section includes introductions with commentaries on selected papers.
Section 3.1 covers the following topics connected with Lanczos's work on problems in linear algebra: an iteration method for the solution of the eigenvalue problem of linear differential and integral operators; separation of close eigenvalues of a real symmetric matrix; solution of systems of linear equations by minimized iterations; spectroscopic eigenvalue analysis; and linear systems in self-adjoint form.
Section 3.2 deals with Lanczos's work on approximation methods: trigonometric interpolation of empirical and analytical functions; analytical and practical curve fitting of equidistant data; smoothing and evaluation of noisy data; and a precision approximation of the gamma function.
Section 3.3 deals with Lanczos's work in the area of Fourier series and orthogonal polynomials: some improvements in practical Fourier analysis; Chebyshev polynomials in the solution of large-scale linear systems; boundary value problems and orthogonal expansions; Legendre versus Chebyshev polynomials; and Fourier analysis of random sequences.
Section 3.4 considers Lanczos's work on the following topics: extended boundary value problems; solution of ordinary differential equations by trigonometric interpolation; an integral approach to the calculus of variations; and boundary value problems and the algebraic method.
Part 4 -- Papers of General Interest Including Philosophy and Pedagogy presents in chronological order papers covering the following subjects: philosophic aspects of the theory of relativity; science and society; modern physics in perspective; the inspired guess in the history of physics; rationalism and the physical world; mathematical pedagogy; Judaism and science; and science and art. A few of the papers in this part relating to the philosophy of science also mention some of the ideas Lanczos developed in his physics research papers.
The first complete set of the Collection was received in Raleigh on 5 February 99. Volume I is opened to the Frontispiece (p. ii) which shows Cornelius Lanczos in 1946 and to the Collection Title Page (p. iii).
The four Parts (1--4) of this Collection and the Appendix are divided into six Volumes (I--VI). Page xviii in each volume indicates in which volume each part, section and page is located. Each volume contains a copy of the pages i-xlv for the complete Collection (including a list of the Contributors, Preface, Copyright Permissions, Contents, List of Photographs, List of Commentaries and Introductions and Foreword). In addition, each of the Volumes II--VI contains the complete list of the Published Papers and Books of Cornelius Lanczos and the location of the papers in the Collection on pp. xxix-xxxvii. In Volume I this list is contained in Part 1, pp. 1-39--1-47. Page i of each volume is a brief Volume Title Page which gives the location of (a) the complete contents for the Collection, (b) the list of the commentaries and introductions by author for the Collection, (c) a chronological list of Lanczos's papers, books and book translations, (d) a narrative description of the organization and contents of the Collection, and (e) a detailed guide to locating material in the Collection.

Otep w/ Devil Inside -- San Francisco, CA -- May 18th, 2005 (Review & Set List)
TOUR: Otep
SUPPORT: Gizmachi, Devil Inside, Days End, Hostility
VENUE: The Pound -- San Francisco, CA
DATE: Monday, May 17th, 2005
ATTENDED W/: Lokia
GEAR WORN: Megadeth Hoodie Over White Risk Shirt
MERCH PURCHASED: None
MOSHING REPORT: Light
REVIEWED: May 18th, 2005
I took a leak in a real toilet at the Pound last night! Working Plumbing! My favorite shit hole is moving up in the world! I didnt see any rats this time either!
Lokia was ringleader on this one. Bouville and I made an attempt to witness Oteps ritual last January but left the building as she came on stage way too late. We suffered through a number of support bands that we fucking hated and lost all interest in the concert. Lokia went for Otep; I, for a support band called Devil Inside.
To slap a hand first: shame on the Pound for not even the illusion of security.
Hostility (a local band?) opened the night, but we (ok, I) was late and missed them. Days End was already in mid-set by time we took position. My first thoughts about this band: An Australian Killswitch Engage. Days End had their moments on stage but unfortunately those moments were all too brief for my liking. Their bass player was an added bonus: a fairly hot blond Sheila but I lost a bit of interest when I saw her paying with a pick and not her fingers. Days End played to maybe 100 people and didnt get an an enthusiastic crowd reaction.
As they were breaking their equipment, NWAs Fuck The Police came over the PA. I dont mind the rap; many of the white kids at my college listened to it back in the day. The problem is the fact YOU DONT PLAY RAP AT A FUCKING METAL CONCERT! EVER! The Pound must have a got a fucking clue because Motorheads Killed By Death came on right after it.
Devil Inside was everything I expected. Their set was similar to the last time I saw them as support for Cryptopsy. The band takes few breaks between songs, lending to a perception that their set is not long on quantity. It doesnt really matter to me because Devil Inside is all about the rhythm. I can just lock into their music. Jay Talbott, the lead singer, could be growling Mary Had A Little Lamb (the lamb wouldnt be too happy about it but it would be perversely metal for Mary. ;) and I wouldnt care because their music induces spams in my neck and body.
During their support for Cryptopsy, Jay screamed for a circle pit and jumped into the crowd to start it up. This time, two guys that I swear were their roadies went into the pit and started moshing and hxc dancing, at times even climbing around the iron support beams across the ceiling dangling their feet and kicking to the music.
Later in the set, he asked We were here about a month and half ago supporting Cryptopsy. Who was here for it? Two of us raised horns, which won acknowledgment. I guess not many from this crowd. I might have been the only one specifically in attendance to see them. Im brining friends next time.
A few moshers started a pit (I didnt join in) during the set but the problem was that the tallest-most muscular-cut dude was a woman. She wasnt getting or giving the toughest hits but she was still a sight. I didnt mosh but damn me if I didnt want someone to come barrelling out of the pit so I could take a shot. One guy came close enough that I got a solid elbow shot but most of time I ended up stepping in from of Lokia (who is more than capable of handling herself but habits are habits) and ruining her targets. :snivel:
Look for more information in the Support Spotlight shortly. These guys are two for two in my book. Devil Inside has spunk, are fun to watch, and Ill be damn sure to see them again when they tour through the area again. They performed well enough that tto make the bill on this review. OUT-FUCKING-STANDING, guys!
Their set list was roughly the same as last time, as far I can guess. Before it was:
34 Months For Nothing
Swallowing Razor Blades
Conflicted Conditioned
Bane Of Existence
Kiss The Cynic
Breath Fear
Dead Wrong
Since Im behind on my reviews, you dont know about the first time Id heard Devil Inside. One of the guitar players wrote down the set list with a huge smile on his face -- a nice guy - while working his merch booth. I bought a CD in January; I wish they had another available to buy.
About 200-250 people saw Devil Inside. Less than 50 people remained on the rail for Gizmachi, so few that you almost count them. Another 50 lurked around behind them. Yes, they can play their instruments. Yes, they are playing on stage and Im not. All of you know I hate ripping bands, but I have to ask a simple question. Who did they have to fuck to get on Ozzfest? The band thanked San Francisco for having them midway through their the set and NO ONE clapped. Ive never seen that before. I actually felt bad for them.
How badly did Gizmachi damage the momentum that Devil Inside built up? When Otep came on stage, 150 +/- were left in the crowd. Those of you familiar with the Pound will relate to this.. you know the merch table table on the left by the bar? The crowd barely reached it horizontally at its center deepest. I was able to walk up to the side rail and the side of the stage without even having to say Excuse me and take a few pictures. In fact, I have one with Lokia center rail worshipping her princess.
Oteps merch guy spent a lot of time away from the table and I doubt anyone stole anything, as I was watching out of the corner of my eye.
Lokia identifies with Otep; I suggest everyone read her review for insight. I dont identify with Otep, and quite frankly disagree with her about almost everything, Am I supposed to listen to Menocide and go euphoric ? Its not going to happen. Same with Jonestown Tea.. a song about incest. What I value about Otep is her art. Make no mistake about it.. it is art.
Otep wore a Nirvana shirt. Enough said. Automatic full point Eddie reduction.
That's our angelic Lokia staring up at a hunched Otep center stage. Bouville is no doubt proud of her. :horns:
Otep's stage show has a few props, like the pig's head, but is primarily just her pouring her heart (ache) out to her fans. I totally agree with Lokia regarding performance / acting / etc.
Last night was the first show that felt like I was on the job, as if I was just there to do a review. I attended for two reasons: Lokia wanted to go (she goes to all our crappy shows) and I was curious how House Of Secrets translated in a live performance. I didnt leave hating the band; I left not caring at all. It is the opposite of a mandatory 9 Eddie performance that moves me from nowhere to Euphoria.
How the fuck I am supposed to review Otep? I only remained in case Lokia needed someone to walk her to her car. I recognize Oteps art and argue they are good at what do. I cant identify with her lyrics, yet think highly enough of their expressions to have today bought the album I didnt own, Sevas Tra, primarily for a song that is a hard listen. Otep played before a small house last night like they played Ozzfest, and fans always love to see that. Members of the band came out and mingled afterwards too. Nice, guys.
I almost forget to call Otep a commie bitch. ;) Glad I remembered. Yeah Shamaya, it is your country too. I do respect your art. Right, Left.. to paraphrase Lethal Weapon.. they're trying to fuck us all in the drive through. You get a pass for everything but the Nirvana shirt. ;) Five Eddies.
Otep's Set List (obtained from Evil J after the show By Lokia):
*Requiem (intro)
Battle ready
Blood Pigs
My Confession
Jonestown Tea
*Shattered Pieces (outro)

Whatsup BF, need some advice on training here.
My Goals: In 2010 I want to make the USC Cycling (Club, but they race other schools). I am a casual-ish rider that rides 3x a week or so. I'm taking lots of units at college right now but I plan to have Feb-Aug 2010 off to just train train train.
My school is about 20 miles away currently so I think I'm going to buy a fixie and commute to school daily.
What should I do in regards to road races, If I'm a Cat 5 racer by Fall 2010 will that be sufficient? How competitive are collegiate teams?
Thanks, MG

Cook 4 additional small boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 lb.) in additional 2 Tbsp. KRAFT Tuscan House Italian Dressing on medium heat 5 min. on each side or until chicken is done (165ºF). Refrigerate for later use in making Cheesy Chicken Pot Pie.
Substitute 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs for the chicken breasts. Cook on medium-high heat 4 min. on each side or until evenly browned. Continue as directed.
When a skillet dish calls for toasted nuts, there's no need to heat up the oven. Before beginning the recipe, simply toast the nuts for a few minutes in the ungreased skillet on medium heat, stirring frequently just until nuts are lightly browned. Remove nuts from skillet and continue recipe as directed.
The broccoli in this quick main dish is a good source of both vitamins A and C.
* Nutrition information is estimated based on the ingredients and cooking instructions as described in each recipe and is intended to be used for informational purposes only. Please note that nutrition details may vary based on methods of preparation, origin and freshness of ingredients used.
My husband loved this dish. I used Green Beans because he does not like Broc. He said he loved it too. It was a wonderful discovery.
This recipe is great because I can get all the broccoli haters in my family to eat it up! We all love it! My daughter requests "chicken with trees!" I do make brown rice in a rice cooker rather than instant white rice.
Family loved it- asked that next time I add even more broccoli.

I'll go first:
Like the vast majority of us, I was unable to consistently watch a professional team growing up in Iowa so ISU became my team I would watch all the time and that is what helped send me there for college.
When I first moved to DC, I had the option to be a Ravens fan or Redskins fan since I could watch either team every week. I chose the Redskins so I wouldn't look like a bandwagon fan and they reminded me of the Cyclones in a way.
Also chose Nationals because they seem to be trying to do things the right way and they were terrible (I like underdogs, if you can sense the theme).
Also enjoy watching the Caps. I feel like hockey games are the most entertaining sport to watch live.
What made you a fan of your teams?
I am a whitesox fan and really the only pro team i can consistently watch. I spent most of my live in chicago burbs until we moved to iowa around 10 years ago. I used to be a huge bear fan, and bulls fan but those have dwindled over the past couple years.
Cardinals - Mom is from STL
Chiefs - Season tix growing up (3.5 hours every other Sunday. Only time I didn't care about getting up at 6 in the AM on a Sunday)
Orlando - Penny Hardaway, baby. Loved him. Don't really watch the NBA anymore, tho
Blues - Couldn't name one player on that hockey team anymore, however.

Because I live in Northeast Ohio. I will never win a championship. :(
As a young lad I grew up as a Brett Favre fan. As I started getting older I started supporting the whole Packer team around Favre well before Favre retired. To this day I have always been a big Green Bay supporter and as time has gone on I have now grown to hate Brett Favre.
Cardinals-Whole family on both sides are fans
Raiders-My older brother polluted my mind when I was growing up
Commitment To Excellence
Chiefs- living near CB makes this a logical choice. I am still bummed about what could have been the most interesting SB ever: 95- Montana vs Young. Then the Chiefs got screwed against San Diego and the SB ended up a blowout.
Rangers/Royals. My wife is friends with the Rangers GM's wife, so I follow them more than any other team, but when the Royals show a glimmer of hope, I am pretty happy.
Celtics. I love KG- saddened that he isnt a timberwolf, but he was enough to get me to watch Boston. As a kid, I loved the Bulls, so I would prefer them to win it all again.
Werder Bremen. I watched a match in Germany, so they are my favorite football club. I dont really follow european sports until WC fever hits, but they are generally my favorite team in FIFA for ps3.
Blackhawks. I have a lot of friends from the Chicagoland area, so I prefer to see them win, although, I dont follow hockey unless it's the finals or involved in international competition.
Any Rugby fans? my cousins played for Metropolis in the twin cities for a number of years, I really enjoyed watching the 7s on nbc this year, that and Invictus was a hell of a movie- I generally like usa, but I root for South Africa when the US is not playing.
I think that is pretty much it- I generally root against any other afc west team, most texas/new york teams unless there is an Iowa native like Kurt Warner playing.
I just rooted for the closest teams playing when I was a kid.
NFL: Vikings. Grew up 2hrs from Minneapolis and they were the games on TV. My Grandpa was a big Vikes fan too. Just made sense.
NHL: Blackhawks. I started following sports shortly after the North Stars left, the Blackhawks were the closest, and became my "local" team by default. I root for the Wild too, because I just can't cheer against Minnesota pro teams. Sucks they're in the same division going forward.
MLB: Twins. See above. I'm not really a big baseball fan, and this is more of a default thing. Twins games are a blast, and when you're up there, the passion people in Minneapolis have for them gets a little infectious. Maybe it's just the Grain Belt at Target Field.
NBA: Just don't have a team. Never got that into the Wolves even when they had Garnett and Marbury, but I wouldn't root against them. I don't hate the Bulls these days either. No emotional connection to any specific team, I guess.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
Vikings- Dad grew up a Vikings fan and passed it along to me.
Twins- ^^^^^^^^

NFL-Packers, dad was a Pack fan so I watched games with him. As I grew older I appreciated the small town, midwest feel that Green Bay and the organization have.
NBA-Don't follow much, but always root against the Lakers.
MLB-Casually, I am a Cubs fan. I don't care too much about it, but will watch them when they are on. Also want to go to Wrigley some day.
NFL- Bears, I was 4 when they won the SB so I dont really remember that but I do remember the SB shuffle and The Fridge and of course Sweetness after the fact.
NBA, MLB, NHL etc- I probably follow the Cubs as close as any other major sport other than football. I guess that makes me a fan but I will say that I was rooting for STL this year in the WS. Never really got emotionally tied to any pro team other than the Bears. I rooted for the Bulls growing up too ala Jordan.
Its beyond pride. Its a restored trust. Theres a confidence again, a passion that teeters on swagger. More than anything, (Iowa State head coach Paul Rhoads) has restored the Iowa State it factor, the steadfast belief that it is great to be a Cyclone...the mans enthusiasm is genuine to the core...
columnist Sean Keeler, Des Moines Register
NFL - Colts. My dad is a huge fan and his four kids never stood a chance. A lot of my best moments as a kid involved Colts games to some degree. There was Emtman getting a pick six against Marino in Miami (youtube it; you won't regret it), the COlts running roughshod over the Broncos and John Elway on MNF on Halloween, and the inexplicable run to the AFC championship in 95 with Captain Comeback. And of course, the last decade's been pretty good, too. Minus all the playoff failures.
NBA - Pacers. They sealed the deal when they drafted Fred Hoiberg. And I loved watching the late 90's teams with the Davis boys, Smits, and Reggie. Their best moment came in a losing effort. In the '98 conference finals, they had Jordan and the Bulls on the ropes. I believe it was Game 7 where MJ and Pippen just willed the Bulls to a win by crashing the glass on offense and repeatedly getting to the line. That was an amazing and underrated series. Poor Reg could never quite get over the hump. If it wasn't MJ in his way, it was Shaq and Kobe.
MLB - Cubs. Because what good is it being a sports fan if you can't have an underdog to pull for?
NFL: Chiefs, I have been a fan since the 2nd grade when my teacher was a huge fan and season tickets so I thought it would get on her good side and have loved them ever since. My first favorite Athlete was Derrick Thomas.
NBA: The Bulls, they were great when I was young and I have stuck with them through Thick and Thin.
MLB: The Cubs, My Greatgrandpa was a diehard and I have been with them because of him.
NHL: The Blackhawks, only because they are in Chicago. They only Chicago team I don't care for is the Bears. I don't root for or against them. (I will cheer for them when they play the Pack just to tick off my friends.)
#TeamProhm #ProhmanEmpire #ProhmanColiseum
NFL-Dallas, they were always on Monday Night Football and I loved their jerseys.
NBA-Philly-Allen Iverson
MLB-Angels-Around 06 I needed a baseball team to cheer for because all my friends during the summer were always arguing over baseball and I wanted to get in on the trash talk. I picked the angels because they were pretty decent, I liked their logo and colors, and I remember "Angels in the Outfield"
Blue Jays- When I was little my grandpa loved the cardinals, I thought they were the same team and just liked the color blue better.
Nets- Loved watching J Kidd in his prime.
Bills- Love having my heart broken... suppose that explains my ISU love too.

Honey Bar is a bar located at 345 Clarendon Street, South Melbourne. I was there to take part in the Melbourne Writers Club, and was very pleasantly surprised. It has a very modern feel to it, but is extremely comfortable and welcoming during a Melbourne winter.
I ordered the chicken parmigiana, and was almost physically intimadated by its size. It might be hard to tell from the photo, but that piece of meat was almost the size of my head. Because it was so big the chicken in the middle was a little dry, but the chips and salad on the side more than made up for it.
It is a big venue, and they make good use of the space. There's plenty of seating without feeling crowded for room. After a few dinners feeling like someone's elbow was in my thigh, it made for a great change. You can find their website here.

Shakespeare, Heartthrob
April 23, 2014 | by John Paul Rollert
Reclaiming the Bard for the common man.
There was a time when attending a motion picture was not an occasion but an event. Most of the great movie houses that might remind us—the Roxy in Times Square, Fox Theater in San Francisco, the Loews Palace in DC—are long gone, but the Music Box remains. A local landmark on Chicago's North Side, the theater still has its Austrian curtains, house organ, and even a hoary legend: the ghost of Whitey, the house manager who ran the theater from opening night in 1929 until Thanksgiving eve, 1977, when he lay down for a cat nap and passed away in the lobby.
The Music Box is an 800-seat theater, more than three times the size of Donmar Warehouse, another theater nearly four thousand miles away in London. What brought the two houses together was Shakespeare's Coriolanus. A recent performance at the Donmar was beamed live, and later rerun, to cinemas all over the world as part of Britain's National Theatre Live series. It was the first time the Music Box telecasted a production that completely sold out.
In Shakespeare's canon, Coriolanus sits somewhere between rarely remembered plays like Pericles and Two Gentlemen of Verona and stock selections like King Lear and Romeo and Juliet. A story of pride and political intrigue plucked from Plutarch's Lives, the play is a little like an olive: a bitter fruit from Rome and something of an acquired taste. Its title character is one of Shakespeare's great creations—for an accomplished actor, a role almost as inevitable as Iago or Macbeth. T.S. Eliot called the play "Shakespeare's most assured artistic success;" he admired it so much he wrote two "Coriolan" poems with an eye toward an unfinished tetralogy.
It's unlikely enough that an art-house movie theater would sell so many tickets to a telecast of Coriolanus—but I should add that this was a morning matinee in Chicago on a frigid Sunday in February. When I arrived, then, I wasn't exactly worried about finding a place to sit—but I was bewildered to discover a packed house where I expected an acre of open seats. Read More »
MacDonald Played Football for My Cousin's High School Team
March 12, 2014 | by David Mamet
The third of five vignettes.
I played football against him, and I saw him not only at the games, but at the various league events. And I saw him at my cousin's school banquets, open houses, graduations. He was the captain of their football team, the president of their student council and their student class; he was the recipient of various league honors whose names escape me, but, I believe, had to do with Most Sportsmanlike, and so on. I saw him suffer through this adulation as a young black man in a white community.
His high school coach cried when praising him at the league's year-end banquet, and I am sure, though I do not remember, that many of the parents' generation were moved to mistiness at his valedictory speech. It may have been a good speech, or it may not have, but the half remembered or imagined emotion on the audience's part must have been mixed relief and self-congratulation; relief at the first hint, in their world, of the end of racism, and self-congratulation at their (imaginary) part in the correction. How could it be otherwise? It could not. Who was harmed? No one except Bill MacDonald, who was the victim of the good-willed farce. Read More »
Elliptical Orbit: On Mircea Cartarescu
February 26, 2014 | by Sharon Mesmer
In the summer of 2011, I spent every afternoon Google-mapping the Chicago neighborhood where I grew up. I pulled the shades down, turned the air conditioner up, and typed the intersections that define Back of the Yards—named for its proximity to the Union Stockyards—into the search box. I was in the early stage of a nervous breakdown, obsessively attempting to revivify the past, the only place where, I believed, continuity existed. Fifty-First and Loomis was my embarkation point: the intersection where our family doctor's office was located. An unfilled prescription, from 1965, that I'd found in my deceased mother's jewelry box provided the office's address. My mother and I had had a contentious relationship, but that summer I fantasized about opening her grave and throwing her skeletal arms around me—"I thought even the bones would do," to quote Plath. I used the objects from the jewelry box (grocery lists, a Revlon "Moondrops" powder compact, old Sears charge cards, blue crystal rosaries, a Coty lipstick) to reconstruct her existence, and finding that prescription was like finding the key to a long-locked door.
Going to the doctor had been a kind of family outing—every three months, to get my grandmother's diabetes checked—and I wasn't sure if I had dreamed those odd excursions to that tiny office. My mother would go downstairs to get my grandmother dressed: clean hairnet; heavy girdle and thick support pantyhose; rhinestone brooch; nice dress instead of a stained shift; black orthopedic shoes instead of house slippers; and dentures, from the glass on the bathroom sink. Then she'd run upstairs to get my sister and me ready, dabbing Chantilly perfume on our wrists. Read More »
The Silent Treatment
February 13, 2014 | by Harry Backlund
On Art Spiegelman's new stage show, Wordless!
In 1970, when Art Spiegelman was twenty-two, he went to a gallery opening in Binghamton, New York, for an exhibition of woodcuts by Lynd Ward. Spiegelman wanted to tell Ward how much he admired the wordless novels the artist had made in the 1930s, but also, and no less importantly, he wanted to ask him what his favorite comic books were. The way Spiegelman tells it, the sixty-five-year-old Ward was gracious but confused: he didn't know much about comics; his Methodist minister father had forbidden them. Ward's woodcut novels, which blended Depression-era social realism with a Faustian sense of good and evil, owed more to the biblical engravings of Gustave Doré than they did to the Sunday funnies. Spiegelman didn't get the comics talk he came for, but he spent some time in the gallery, studying those prints. Two years later, he composed a four-page comic about his guilt over his mother's suicide. It was just a few panels, but their startling intimacy set the pattern for much of his later work, including the Pulitzer Prize–winning Maus, in which they were later included. Spiegelman titled that short comic "Prisoner on the Hell Planet," and in its stark style and pitch-black outlook, you can see the influence of Ward's woodcuts.
Spiegelman has given Ward's novels a central role in Wordless!, the new stage show he created with the composer Phillip Johnston, and which the two men presented twice last Saturday to sold-out crowds at the University of Chicago's Logan Center for the Arts. Wordless! weaves together Spiegelman's reflections on the history of wordless novels with slide show projections of the genre's classic works, which Johnston and his sextet accompany with rollicking, klezmer-inflected, vaudeville jazz. The back-and-forth between lecture and performance neatly captured Spiegelman's ambivalence about his role on stage. On the one hand, he was a comic artist on a mission, there to add a new branch to the family tree of the graphic novel, one that would demonstrate the genre's deep roots and help solidify its place in the canon of "real literature." Mostly though, Spiegelman was having fun. He was there to give the crowd what he had sought from Ward: a conversation about some of his favorite comics and a taste of the overwhelming pleasure they give him. "Don't worry if you get a little lost while you're watching," he reassured his listeners between puffs on his e-cigarette. "I'm hoping you will careen between my words and these picture stories until you're left as breathlessly unbalanced as I am." Read More »
The Price of the Ticket
November 14, 2013 | by M.J. Moore
Back in 1985, on the morning of November 23 (a cold, wet, gray autumn Saturday), I woke up happy. At that time in my life, nothing could have been more unusual.
But I knew that before that day's sun had set, I was going to meet James Baldwin, whose body of work (the novels and short stories, his plays and all those exquisite essays) had inspired my own burning desire to write.
Baldwin was on an interview-and-autograph tour which would be his last, crisscrossing America after the simultaneous publication of The Evidence of Things Not Seen (a book-length essay on the Atlanta child murders that were then still common knowledge) and The Price of the Ticket. On that Saturday afternoon, Mr. B. (as I privately referred to him) was scheduled to appear at a bookshop on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago. For the preceding month, each customer who made a purchase at Guild Books had received a Xeroxed postcard-size printout of an invitation to the event. Baldwin's appearance had also been touted in a news story printed that week in the Tribune.
I thought of how strange it must be—how truly bizarre—for a great writer who has spent thousands of hours alone in a room, grasping for words, struggling to sculpt just the right image on paper, to be confronted suddenly with hundreds of smiling, book-buying admirers; dozens of them invariably requesting special inscriptions for someone special; others craving a momentary brush with celebrity; still others bearing poems, plays, or stories they're praying to share, plus the others who want to say a few words. I belonged in the latter category. Or I told myself I did. And what I wanted to tell Mr. B., more than anything else, was something like this: Thank you—for your books, for all of your work, and for being such a formidable mentor. I knew he'd heard some variation of that a thousand times before, but I was determined to say it.
Baldwin's appearance was set for three P.M., and when I arrived at Guild Books just after two o'clock, a crowd of some three hundred was already crammed inside. A line of people stretched out the door and snaked around the corner and down the block. It may have been the most successfully integrated aggregation ever to peacefully assemble in Chicago (food festivals and ChicagoFest notwithstanding). Blacks and whites, Hispanics and Asians, Sikhs with turbans and Jews with yarmulkes were all in line, drawn together by the power of the words.
Passersby inquired about the reason for such a gathering. When told that hundreds were ignoring the autumn chill in order to meet James Baldwin, some of them smiled. Others drew a blank: they wanted to know why he was famous. Read More »

And if we can ever stop adding mini-features to it and can move over to actually cleaning it up (I've stopped promising, for fear of looking like more of a fool than I already do), it will be possible to _integrate_ it with other IDE-type systems, which is IMHO the right approach. In fact, for this particular problem I very much like Alex Schmolck's solution. It can be named eds, edsend, whatever, and act as a quick way to say 'send this file, at this line number, to my editor', without further complicating the (already unpleasant) magic %edit. Since I'm a sucker, I'll probably still add the '-s' switch to %edit to do this, so users don't have to write customizations themselves. Cheers, f

US president places candle in Hall of Remembrance, says 'when efforts are made to equate Zionism to racism, we reject them'

WASHINGTON - In his first appearance as president at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum, a solemn President Barack Obama
announced on Monday a new crackdown on Iran
and Syria
and said the world must never again allow hatred to take root into the "madness" of mass atrocities.

The US leader promised he would "always be there for Israel"

"When efforts are made to equate Zionism to racism, we reject them. When international fora single out Israel with unfair resolutions, we vote against them," Obama said.

"When attempts are made to de-legitimize the state of Israel, we oppose them. And when faced with a regime that threatens global security and denies the Holocaust

What Employers Want: Grads Who Can Think Fast, Work in Teams
June 25, 2013
WASHINGTON — They can get good grades, earn a diploma and breeze through that campus rite of spring, the job interview. But college graduates still might not land a decent job....
our politicians are all college grads.says something about college.

What I see in the Ohio Valley is a chasm between what employers want in an employee and what an employee wants from their job. Employers want to base their hiring on grammatical errors and proper punctuation. Employees want to go to work, give a fair days work for a fair pay. They want to know that if they do a good job, they will be rewarded for it. A simple "Thanks for a great day" at the end of a shift is usually a sufficient reward.

I think that the story talks all around the fact that college grad or not, younger workers have no work ethic. The most often asked question in job interviews (according to HR people) by applicants is about the Facebook policy, can they play all day or not. We have billboards urging workers to stop doing meth so they can pass a drug test and that is not just for blue collar workers. Articles written by HR people, and in speeches TO COLLEGE STUDENTs tell them that a 23 year old with an honorable discharge and a good performance record in the service is a safer bet than a brand new grad worried about their Facebook time. And a college grad with the military is a star in a room full of Momma's boys,wannabe gamers and meth heads. Your degree in sociology from profs who have to keep you in school or lose their jobs is not a demonstration that you will be a good employee. Hiring in the OV is a nightmare. Its why you see so many older workers still on the job. They show up, a basic skill

Speaking of grammatical errors........... I spent a few minutes perusing the supplement "Celebrate Statehood:June 20, 1863" that was included in the News-Register on Thursday June 20th. Full of grammatical errors! SO many that it made the reading confusing to say the least. In the reality of the Ohio Valley hiring decisions should be made based on ability, trustworthiness, dependability and desire. All verified and discussed during the interview. There aren't many jobs in the Ohio Valley where an employee will be required to communicate with their associates in Mumbai! But they should have the ability to be pleasant to the customer for an entire shift! They should have the ability to not complain about how much they hate their job in the presence of customers! They should know how to count back the customers change three times at the close of a transaction! They should be able to work without being harassed by mouthy unstable fellow employees.

I have a little problem with my Zimbra Desktop 2
I have set up on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit the Opensource Edition. No problem with that. To connect to the server, most of the Users use Zimbra Desktop. Because in the firm we use the calender and public calender and that stuff. So far so good, but when I want to print a page, like an e-mail there comes the problem. Everything is fine with the printing stuff, but I don't want the header up there. How can I change that? Nothing found in the Zimbra Desktop. I guess I have to change it in Prism somewhere, but how?
Oh yeah Zimbra Desktop is running on a Windows Server 2008 64bit terminal machine.
The Red marked stuff I don't want to be there.
Any suggestions??
Maybe I haven't found it, because I am wondering that nobody is having that problem, or I am searching too far. Just let me know if there is a thread. I looked a lot, and searched, but yeah, nobody's perfect.
So thanks for helpping me.

My kids adore all breakfast foods. Breakfast foods make everyone smile I am sure. The down side to traditional breakfast foods, is that they are loaded with sugar or flour, making them sweet and filling. The only hard thing about this is when you are trying to make every calorie count or make sure your kids are getting some form of nutrition. I love that these pancakes use egg whites and cottage cheese :) It gives these pancakes an added element of heathy!
I have made this recipe quite a few times now and my kids love them just as much as I do!
- 6 egg whites
- 1 cup dry rolled oats
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 Tbsp. flour
- 4 tsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1½ tsp. vanilla
- Blend all ingredients in blender until smooth.
- Heat skillet or griddle to medium-heat and spray with cooking spray.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter and flip when they start to bubble. Cook other side until pancake is golden brown.

CloudFlare is a service that sits between the server and user of a website (like a proxy), which adds security and accelerates your website. It speeds up sites by limiting bots and crawlers from accessing them, saving bandwidth and server resources. It protects against threats ranging from comment spam to SQL injection and denial of service attacks. CloudFlare is free with limited options, but there are tiered plans for businesses and pro users. This blog article covers the main features of CloudFlare, and its disadvantages.
CloudFlare operates out of 23 data centres around the world. It routes web traffic through its own servers and offsets much of the load to the site, especially in periods of heavy traffic. It uses a technology called Anycast to route your visitors to the nearest data centre, so loading times are much quicker for visitors, regardless of where they are located. Enabling a domain for CloudFlare only involves a simple modification to the DNS settings which will come into effect after a period of DNS propagation. It's very simple to disable CloudFlare if any issues are experienced whilst using the service.
CloudFlare's optimisation is clever, by combining multiple JavaScript files into a single request to avoid the overhead of multiple network requests. It optimises HTML and doesn't need to wait for slower scripts like advertising or widgets. And depending on the device your visitor uses, it automatically adjusts how the content is delivered.
CloudFlare detects and learns about new attacks and starts to block the attack for both your website and entire community of visitors. The longer you are on CloudFlare, the better the protection becomes. It provides the ability to block individual IPs, IP ranges and even countries, which eliminates the need for writing complicated server rules. It adds an extra layer of security for DoS (Denial of Service) attacks and can help mitigate many attacks. You can choose security settings for each of your websites.
There are lots of detailed reports for you to look at, too. It shows a list of threats that were stopped from reaching your site, creates a visitor reputation list and shows threat visitors by country, type, IP address and severity. An easy-to-read traffic report is provided (instead of going through log files). You can sort this by time, visitor type and traffic types, and even toggle between real time and daily updates. It is compatible with other analytics programmes, like Google Analytics.
There are hundreds of apps available that don't change the code on your site (instead, a JavaScript is simply inserted in the right place and can be turned off and on). They include analytics, affiliate links, monitoring and site searches.
Because CloudFlare caches static content from your website, whenever you make a change it may take a while before the change appears. This can be bypassed by enabling developer mode.
The basic (free) package doesn't support SSL certified sites. You could either use CloudFlare on subdomains that are not SSL protected, or upgrade. The next plan, CloudFlare Pro, is only $20 for your first site, and $5 after that. And you can mix plan types within one account.
Contact us if you'd like to discuss CloudFlare. We're here to help you get the most from your hosting.

Alt Porn Network
This site is closed.
This site is closed.
The Alt Porn Network is home to nine porn sites, including Ardens Top Drawer, Who Is Katie X, Super Modern Domme, Lazer Bunny, Ariel Adore, Club Aly Sinclair and Pussy In Stereo. This large site bills itself as "a premier destination for indie porn." Let's see if it's all it claims to be.
The latest and upcoming updates are on the homepage, so you know which site has something new to offer. Hot tranny Aly Sinclair's newest item has her posing erotically in a cardboard box and one of Lazer Bunny's recent scenes has some great smoking content with Megan Jones in a sheer, white tank top. Katie X keeps her identity secret as she wears masks in all of her material and you can catch her sticking a ripe banana in her cooch.
While some mega-sites act as a portal to their different websites, others offer all of the porn in one place. This site does it both ways. You can choose a site from the drop-down list in the advanced search bar or you can choose one from the "our sites" section.
Since the sites are focused on different niches (Femdom, shemale, etc) you might think it would be hard to find what you want. However, with that advanced search and content tags, it's really very easy. You can also filter it, so that you're looking at all of the content from across the entire network in one big collection.
In total, you're looking at 94 videos and about 500 photo galleries. The reason I say "about" is because some of the sets are actually vid caps instead. Each video's page has tabs that let you jump to the photo gallery it is associated with and vice versa. Naturally, you'll also find hundreds of other image sets that have nothing to do with the movies.
New videos are added six times a month, although there have been times where the updating slowed. New picture sets are made available almost every day. The movies can be downloaded and streamed in multiple formats, but it looks like the most common in a good-quality Windows Media file. You're also able to choose from AVI, MPEG, QuickTime, Flash and MP4. Sometimes the QuickTime file is a huge high-def one, but it's random from site to site and scene to scene.
Ariel Adore is a punked-out hottie and I really enjoyed watching her get nailed doggy style. I saw something on her that I've never seen before: a butt-crack piercing. I don't think the barbell comes out of her anus, but it looks super close to it! I took my time leaving a comment and made sure to add it to my favorites. In addition to hardcore sex, you'll also see deep-throat blowjobs, masturbation, lesbian porn and some fetish-oriented material.
When it comes to extras, there are two audio files (singles from bands) and some erotic stories. There are also four video feeds that list archived scenes from several of the models. There is a decent mix of content on Alt Porn Network and those who like variety will enjoy it.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

PAWTUCKET, R.I. Scottie the dog has a new nemesis in Monopoly after fans voted in an online contest to add a cat token to the property trading game, replacing the iron, toy maker Hasbro Inc. announced Wednesday.
The results were announced after the shoe, wheelbarrow and iron were neck and neck for elimination in the final hours of voting that sparked passionate efforts by fans to save their favorite tokens, and by businesses eager to capitalize on publicity surrounding pieces that represent their products.
The vote on Facebook closed just before midnight on Tuesday, marking the first time that fans have had a say on which of the eight tokens to add and which one to toss.
Other pieces that contested for a spot on Monopoly included a robot, diamond ring, helicopter and guitar. Fans from more than 120 countries voted.
"We put five new tokens out for our fans to vote on and there were a lot of fans of the many different tokens, but I think there were a lot of cat lovers in the world that reached out and voted for the cat to be the new token for Monopoly," said Jonathan Berkowitz, vice president for Hasbro gaming marketing.
"I'm sad to see the iron go," Berkowitz added. "Personally, I'm a big fan of the racecar so I'm very relieved it was saved but it is sad to see the iron go."
The social-media buzz created by the Save Your Token Campaign attracted numerous companies that pushed to protect specific tokens that reflect their products.
That includes garden tool maker Ames True Temper Inc. of Camp Hill, Penn., that spoke out in favor of the wheelbarrow and created a series of online videos that support the tool and online shoe retailer Zappos which pushed to save the shoe, Berkowitz said.
"We've even had some companies like Jolly Time Pop Corn reach out and petition to have a popcorn token added to the game, even though that's not one of the new five tokens," he said.
Versions of Monopoly with the new token will come out later this year.

Former 17 year pot addict urges Californians to vote 'no' onProp. 19
- written by James L. Lambert
Last month I had the privilege of being interviewed on Virginia radio station WINA regarding my commentary I wrote last summer about Calif. Pastor's reluctance to condemn a controversial state ballot measure, Proposition 19. Prop. 19 is an effort by Northern California marijuana activists and pot users alike to fully legalize the use and commercial development of recreational marijuana throughout our state. More detail of the ramifications of this terrible proposition is explained in a recent TBN interview I participated in along with the Chaplin for the San Diego Chargers, Shawn Mitchell.
When radio host Rob Shilling opened up his phone lines for calls that morning, Chris was one first callers on the line who wanted to inform the radio listeners of his past involvement with marijuana use. He told a very moving story about his own struggle with marijuana addiction that lasted for over 17 years.
Chris told the audience that "as a drug addict I was dependent on daily, multiple uses of pot. I missed many opportunities to mature by relying on marijuana to solve difficulties in my life as well as forfeiting my human potential. I would get high to divert any unpleasant thoughts and feelings of inadequacy and self doubt. Eventually, my frustrations would lead to more marijuana use, hence starting the endless cycle again and again… At the end of seventeen years of marijuana use, I wanted to die."
He went on by saying that during "the past twenty years, I have been healing my addicted personality and character by living life on its own terms, not my terms…This process has taken the power of years of intense effort to find the maturity that this powerful and insidious drug enabled me to deny."
Chris was happy to say he is drug free but it came after years of struggle. Chris concluded by urging all Californians to vote No on proposition 19. He also urged Pastors and Christians throughout the golden state to not be timid in declaring their support for a No vote too.
Perhaps you know of others like Chris' that are in your life right now. They also struggle with a drug that pot promoters say is 'not addictive'. Funny but
even the Office of Drug Control Policy informs us that there are over 1.23 million people who are currently in some sort of 'marijuana addiction' counseling.
As for myself, I have had a number of friends who have started their own downward cycle of drug abuse by their introduction to marijuana. What do these five have in common? They all have died from drugs. Tragedies like this have played out throughout the country. Hopefully the voters in California will realize that we cannot afford to make the mistake of saying yes to marijuana (Prop 19) – like Chris would have before he escaped his addiction to pot more than 20 years ago.

Kissimmee, FL – Osceola Regional Medical Center announces that it has recently installed complementary valet parking at the front entrance of its facility from 6 am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday. Anyone visiting the hospital during those times can immediately drive to the front entrance and exit their vehicle. Should they leave after 4 pm, the keys to their vehicle will be available to them from the front desk. This is a free service for patients and visitors and the hospital encourages its use whenever possible.
"We are well aware that those who visit our campus are preoccupied with a wide range of concerns. We believe that the installation of valet parking will allow patients and visitors to focus on primary concerns during a time of anxiety," said Kathryn J. Gillette, CEO of Osceola Regional Medical Center. "This will demonstrate Osceola Regional Medical Center's additional commitment to providing quality, compassionate care," she added.
In addition, the hospital will soon open an employee parking garage to complement its initiative and allow for more parking space availability.

Even in the highest levels of United States government, the cause of the demonstrations in the Middle East — and the killing of four Americans in Benghazi, Libya — following the online release of a trailer for a cheaply made film mocking the Muslim Prophet Mohammed has been a quagmire of contradictions.
The Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi left dead U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and three members of his staff. By Sept. 20, intelligence collected was still murky, with President Obama asserting the attacks arose after outrage of the video, The Innocence of Muslims. But the next day, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared the killings a terrorist attack.
On Oct. 3, USC Dornsife's Middle East Studies program held a panel discussion to help put the tragic deaths, protests and inflammatory film into context.
"The temptation for anyone watching the news about that video, and the riots and protests against it is just to react," said Kevin van Bladel, associate professor of classics in USC Dornsife and program director. "Our panel's message was different: don't just react, get informed."
Van Bladel said he wanted students to hear directly from experts and have an opportunity to ask them questions.
"One of the main functions of the humanities and social sciences is to provide understanding — of cultures, people and events," he said. "The Middle East Studies program is here to help our students and our society achieve that understanding for a region terribly misunderstood for lack of contextualized information."
Panelists included Laurie Brand, Robert Grandford Wright Professor and professor of international relations; Sherman Jackson, King Faisal Chair of Islamic Thought and Culture, and professor of religion, and American studies and ethnicity; and Fayez Hammad, lecturer of political science and international relations, all of USC Dornsife.
Philip Seib, professor of journalism and director for the USC Center on Public Diplomacy in the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, with a joint appointment as professor of international relations in USC Dornsife, was also a panelist.
Although the discussion was titled "Outrage in the Middle East: The Video Incident," Brand quickly pointed out that the outrage was not as widespread as reported in mainstream media.
"The impression in the media was of huge angry mobs rising up across the region," Brand said. "There were angry, and in a few cases, violent protesters. But outside of Libya, no Americans were killed. Any casualties were among the local population."
Brand noted that in Libya, a few days after the killings, tens of thousands of people demonstrated in Benghazi against al-Qaeda style radicalism.
"First, while the loss of life all around is terrible, the numbers of people actually involved in these demonstrations was quite small," Brand said. "Tens, hundreds, and in a couple of cases perhaps thousands, but those were largely peaceful demonstrations. In comparison with the sizes of the populations, these were small and limited."

Brand analyzed the responses to the film in the context of domestic political developments in a few countries where demonstrations were the largest. To make sense of the way these demonstrations and government responses unfolded, she said, one must first understand the ongoing processes of political transition unleashed by the Arab uprisings in spring 2011.
On Sept. 13 in Yemen, protesters stormed the U.S. Embassy, and on Oct. 11 in a drive-by shooting, killed the Yemeni Chief of Security for the U.S. Embassy Qassem Aqlani. Brand said these protest acts were part of an ongoing power struggle in Yemen between the former president and his successor.
Soldiers of two units under the control of relatives of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh allowed hundreds of protesters through checkpoints around the embassy, Brand said.
"They broke through to the inner building, ripped plaques and lettering from outer walls and tried to smash secure glass doors," she said.
Current Yemen President Abd Rabbu Mansur Hadi has promised an investigation into the incident.
In Libya, the Salafist militia group Ansar al-Sharia, the lead suspect for the attack on the U.S. Consulate, may share a similar ideology with al Qaeda — members want to establish a strict version of Islamic law — but its strategy differs from al Qaeda. Like many other small, loosely formed militias that can be found in other areas of the world, Ansar al-Sharia doesn't appear to be focused on achieving a strategic objective outside the areas they inhabit or want to inhabit, Brand said.
The ideology is more focused on local issues and domestic policy.
"Instead, they are effectively looking to fill a vacuum left by an absent or ineffective government, outside of al Qaeda's immediate reach, and trying to carve out a space that they can lay claim to," Brand said, using what the Taliban did in Afghanistan in the early 1990s as an example.
"And as I said earlier, there were massive demonstrations against Ansar al-Sharia," she said. "The people of Benghazi actually drove them out in the aftermath of the attack on the consulate."
Egypt and Tunisia are also in periods of political transition and unrest, Brand said.
"In order to understand the way that some of this anger was expressed and the way it was dealt with by the local governments we have to keep in mind that all these governments are going through political transitions," Brand said. "As part of the transitions you have competition for political power between important groups and the battles are not over. So the reaction to the film figures into this and has played an important part in the last few weeks."
Jackson noted that Salafi groups played a major role in bringing out demonstrations against the film in Egypt. The term Salafi has been used since the Middle Ages, but has become associated with strict and puritanical approaches to Islam. In the West, Salafi Jihadis advocate violence against civilians as a legitimate expression of Islam.
"It was a Salafi preacher who publicized the film in Egypt," Jackson said. "A Salafi preacher produced a video with an hour-long tirade against the film. There were other groups that had nothing to do with this and were opposed to the demonstrations. They said the demonstrations were a bad idea and that they violated Islam itself by attacking embassies.
"So we have to be careful about this whole Salafi thing. The rise of these extremist movements tells us something very unsettling about what has taken place in Egypt," Jackson said, adding that his experience with Egypt goes back 30 years.
"These extremist groups were unheard of then," he continued. "They are new on the scene and they represent a damning indictment of the religious establishment in Egypt itself. The religious establishment has lost much of its authority and that has opened the way for some of these other groups to come to the fore."
Hammad said that in order to understand the reaction to this film we must look at a framework of hostile engagement between two groups and their contexts. One group resides in the Muslim world and the other in the West (the U.S.).
"We could anchor this framework based on the saying of Umar ibn al-Khattab, the second caliph after the prophet," Hammad said: "Terminate a falsehood with your silence; Do not blather so as to attract the attention of the gloaters."
The blatherers are a small minority of Muslims who mostly did not see the film, ignored numerous pleas to withhold violent protest, and did not heed Umar ibn al-Khattab's advice.
They operate within a larger context of regional anti-Americanism, which stems from U.S. wars and interventions, U.S. support for authoritarian regimes, and the U.S. role in the non-resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
The group of gloaters reside in the West (including the U.S.), who gloat at the images of Muslims who, as televangelist Pat Robertson once said "go crazy when Islam is insulted" because "Ishmael, the Bible says, was a wild donkey. And apparently that spirit has pervaded these people."
The gloaters are the interlocutors of the first group who are ignorant about and intolerant toward Arabs and Muslims. This group is at the forefront of those who oppose allowing Muslims to build houses of worship in the U.S., in effect denying them their First Amendment rights. They are also at the forefront of pushing for more U.S. military engagement with the Arab and Muslim worlds.
After the discussion, including a question-and-answer session, USC Dornsife senior Julia Mangione said she attended the panel after hearing news reports about the demonstrations and killings.
"I didn't know how to interpret it," said Mangione, an international relations major. "It was important for me to understand why people are reacting the way that they are."
After listening to the panelists, Mangione now believes the protests may have occurred with or without the video.
"This event was so valuable because it gave students a different perspective than what we're seeing on the news," she said. "It was nice to get the academic perspective on this from experts who really know what they're talking about."
