Focus "Enterpreunership and Risk"
The Max Schmidheiny Foundation places a special emphasis on "Entrepreneurship and Risk". Various projects serve to examine the trends and perspectives with regard to entrepreneurial risk management. The foundation is thus reacting to the comprehensive political, economic, technological and social changes that have determined entrepreneurial activity over the last two decades, and is looking into the impact of such turbulence on a sustainable free economic and social order.
With its two forums, "Entrepreneurial Perspectives on Switzerland" in 2006 and "The Future of the 'Milizsystem'" in March 2007, the Max Schmidheiny Foundation has launched an initiative that will invigorate the creative discussion on selected topics amongst the younger generation of entrepreneurs, politicians and representatives from civil society. The initiative is based on the belief that a free economic and social order can endure only when characterised by deep mutual appreciation and progressive cooperation between business, politics and society, and an open discussion on the fundamental issues of our time.
The Max Schmidheiny Foundation has endowed the University of St. Gallen with a Professorship for Entrepreneurship and Risk. Within the context of entrepreneurship and risk, and from the perspective of law and economics, the foundation wishes to lend its support to research, education and the transfer of knowledge with professional practice, and thus foster insights into a dimension of the entrepreneurial context that is increasingly important for the sustainability of a liberal order. The Max Schmidheiny Foundation Professorship also symbolises the long-term association between the Max Schmidheiny Foundation, the benefactor's family, and the University of St Gallen.
In the future, the Max Schmidheiny Foundation will continue to maintain its traditional partnership with the St. Gallen Symposium – the venue for the presentation of the annual Max Schmidheiny Freedom Prize between 1979 and 2003 – and play an active part in this platform for open, international dialogue on the fundamental issues concerning management, the entrepreneurial environment, and the interface between business, politics and society.

To get ready for Valentine's Day, we asked some husband-wife chef and restaurant management duos to share their romantic stories: how they met, what they like to cook to celebrate the holiday and whether their restaurants go all out in the name of love.
Written by Tiffany MacIsaac, Executive Pastry Chef of the Washington D.C.-based Neighborhood Restaurant Group. Her husband, Kyle Bailey, is the Executive Chef of Birch & Barley, one of NRG's popular restaurants featuring a seasonally inspired menu and an extensive (read: 500+) list of beers.
Kyle and I met at the since-shuttered Ilo, a three-star restaurant located in a NYC hotel. At the time we were both in relationships, but we became fast friends. One night a week, Kyle would need to stay to work the room service shift after dinner. No one ever ordered, though, so we would get a pack of beer from the corner store and drink it while we waited. A closing restaurant can be a depressing environment to work in, but we always worked hard and pushed one another. After the restaurant closed, we went our separate ways, but we stayed in touch. When Kyle was working at another restaurant, Cru, he recommended me for a pastry chef position (even though his girlfriend at the time was a pastry chef) and the rest is history.
Being married (going on 3.5 years now) and working together presents its challenges, but we overcome these by being very communicative. (Kyle likens us to Dr. Dre and Eminem: "We fight nonstop, but we get along better than anyone else.") We're incredibly honest with each other in the kitchen and never hold back on giving feedback about a certain dish – we're both striving for greatness.

I've never been the lucky sort, lottery tickets aren't my thing and I can't even recall winning a single game of Bingo. Las Vegas is all about the food, not the slots and I don't even bother entering sweepstakes. That's why when Chinese New Year rolls around the beginning of each year, I don't count on luck to carry me through 12 months, but rather go the Chinese route — eat my way to please the gods of good fortune.
This year, Chinese New Year begins on February 3 and goes on for 15 days — I can't think any other holiday that lets you feast for that long! I've hand-picked a big list of recipes for you to try — and since the Chinese are incredibly superstitious, there are rules of what to eat and what not to eat. One of them (on the not-eat list) is squid, called "Yow Yu." In the olden days, workers would have to travel far from home to work, often bringing personal belongings rolled up in a blanket. When a worker was fired, he was ordered to "yow," or roll up his blanket, packing his stuff to go home. Serving squid symbolizes being fired in the coming year. If your co-workers or subordinates pleasantly surprises you with a dish of succulent squid on February 3th, be very suspicious.

Happy Chinese New Year!
This will be the year of the Rabbit – and according to The Holiday Spot, here's the horoscope for 2011:
A placid year, very much welcomed and needed after the ferocious year of the Tiger. We should go off to some quiet spot to lick our wounds and get some rest after all the battles of the previous year.
Good taste and refinement will shine on everything and people will acknowledge that persuasion is better than force. A congenial time in which diplomacy, international relations and politics will be given a front seat again. We will act with discretion and make reasonable concessions without too much difficulty.
A time to watch out that we do not become too indulgent. The influence of the Rabbit tends to spoil those who like too much comfort and thus impair their effectiveness and sense of duty.
Law and order will be lax; rules and regulations will not be rigidly enforced. No one seems very inclined to bother with these unpleasant realities. They are busy enjoying themselves, entertaining others or simply taking it easy. The scene is quiet and calm, even deteriorating to the point of somnolence. We will all have a tendency to put off disagreeable tasks as long as possible
Money can be made without too much labor. Our life style will be languid and leisurely as we allow ourselves the luxuries we have always craved for. A temperate year with unhurried pace. For once, it may seem possible for us to be carefree and happy without too many annoyances.

I need some help as a beginner understanding columns in css. I am using a template from dreamteplate and I am using the contact.html page as my home page. Here is a link to preview the [unaltered template. The problem is when the page is viewed on a phone or the desktop browser window is scaled down horizontally to simulate small device screen the two columns overlap. Same can be seen on my [URL="http://www.anthonycarnevale.com"]live site here](http://www.dreamtemplate.com/templates/7556/centindu---responsive-website-template.html).
I need assistance knowing what I am looking for to fix and adjust this code. I would either like to make it stop the scaling down at the point right before overlap so you would have to scroll horizontally or even better for phones make the two columns move on top of each other into single column at point of overlap.
Please let me know if there is any additional info you need as again I am very lost as to where to start looking since it is a template and I don't have much experience.
It's not really viable to preserve those columns on small screens, so this is where you are better off using @media queries. They are pretty cool, actually. Try adding this to your style sheet and see what happens:
@media screen and (max-width: 620px) {
.left_side_white, .right_side_big {float: none; width: 100%;}
oh wow thank you so much for this, it worked like a champ. I due have 2 more questions. Is there a specific place I need to put this since my css file is quite long and there is another respon css file that has a lot of info relating to screen size so I am not sure if is belongs in there instead? It seems to work no matter what css file I put it in and I attached both if it helps . Last question is not as important as what you have already greatly solved but is there a way to make it so when it combines them into one column the right columns contents end up on top instead of below the left columns contents?
Really thanks again for solving that I do appreciate it.
Glad that was useful.
No, anywhere is fine. Wherever seems best to you.
is there a way to make it so when it combines them into one column the right columns contents end up on top instead of below the left columns contents?
I suspected you might ask that. The only really viable way at this stage is to reverse the order of the code in the HTML. There may one day be a way to do this just with CSS, but that's a long way off (such as the grid module that is currently on the drawing board).
Thanks again for all the help and I really cant complain since the text in left column is so little I don't think the right column text gets lost being on the bottom. One of these days I will get more time to go through and clean up the template since I know the code is not clean at all. Lots of learning to go but this has at least made my site presentable on mobile devices so I thank you.
No worries, although it should be really easy to swap the two columns around in the HTML.
Yeah I kinda like the layout with the contact info on the left but pretty easy if I changed my mind.
Next I will start working on fixing the prettyphoto script that populates the images and video holder when you click on them. That appears to not take use of the full screen space on mobile devices but this was the biggest hurdle and I was worried it would stop people from using my site on mobile device so I feel a lot better.
Changing the order in the HTML won't affect the layout ... the contact info will still be floated left and the other column floated right.
oh I see because of the css tags I assume. Ok might explore that option then just to experiment I didn't realize.

MATT Bown is hoping that victory over county rivals Devizes Town last weekend has put the wind back in the Westbury United sails.
First-half goals from Marc Lanfear and Matt Dyer saw Bown's men get back to winning ways in the Toolstation League First Division after a run of four matches without a victory.
And Bown has his fingers crossed that last Saturday's three-point haul has put a spring back in Westbury's step.
"It was nice to get back to winning ways. We've had a lot of games off in the last few weeks and when the lads are just running all the time, it gets a bit tedious," said the United manager.
"I was disappointed with how we played against Cheddar last week because I felt that we didn't deserve anything from that game but on Saturday, I thought that we were dominant in the game.
"We conceded a goal right before half-time, but in the second half, I thought that we were comfortable – the managers of Devizes thought that we deserved to win afterwards too.
"Hopefully this can kick us off again now. We've already gone past the points that the side picked up last season so everything now is a bonus.
"It's be nice if we could carry on enjoying our football and pick up a few more results between now and the end of the season."
Westbury's Simon Millard and Devizes' Mark Barnes both missed chances to break the deadlock early on before Lanfear put the hosts in front with 27 minutes on the clock, with the striker tapping home from Simon Millard's free-kick.
Dyer marked his first start with a goal as he fired home five minutes before the break, but United saw their lead halved when Devizes' Lee Himsworth pounced on the stroke of half-time.
Westbury face a tough trip to table-topping local rivals Bradford Town tomorrow and Bown is simply targetting a positive performance from his team.
The United chief said: "Obviously, it's going to be really tough because Brad-ford have been battering everybody.
"They can afford to pay players and they've got a good squad together, with lads on the bench that would walk into other teams – they can afford to do that and it's got them to the top of the league.
"We're a little bit different becuause we don't have a budget and we're just trying to build for the future.
"I just want to see us have a go and try and put in a good performance over there – if we can do that, then I'll be happy."
Lanfear and Charlie Walton are both injury doubts for tomorrow's game against Bradford but defender Craig Fisher, who recently joined Westbury from Corsham Town, could be in line for his debut.
- WARMINSTER Town's trip to Cheddar on Saturday was postponed, with the Red and Blacks hosting Almond-sbury UWE tomorrow.
Shanley's staying on full throttle for derby despite looming cup semi-final
BRADFORD Town boss Paul Shanley insists he won't be resting players for next Tuesday's Wiltshire Senior Cup semi-final when local rivals Westbury United visit Trowbridge Road tomorrow.
Bradford bid to reach the final of the county cup competition when they travel to Hellenic League Purton on Tuesday, but Shanley says that promotion remains the primary objective for his Tool- station League First Division leaders.
"I've said all along that our aim is to get promoted this year and anything that happens in the Wiltshire Cup is a bonus," said the Bradford manager.
"Westbury will be coming to us to try and win the game and I'll be playing my strongest side because to me, it's our biggest game of the season so far – if anything, we'll be making changes on Tuesday."
A goal from defender Craig Gingell, his third in as many games, was enough to hand Bradford a 1-0 victory at Keynsham Town last weekend.
Shanley added: "It says a lot that our goalkeeper (Lewis Porter) was our man of the match – we didn't play well but points, not performances, are paramout at the moment.
"I'd gladly take eight more 1-0 wins like that – that'd do me."
Tom Welch misses tomorrow's clash with Westbury while striker Joe Vyner joins the injured Shaun Percival on the sidelines after breaking his wrist.
Tuesday night's trip to Wincanton Town was postponed.
Rawlings' satisfaction
CORSHAM Town chief Trevor Rawlings was pleased to see his team produce a more complete performance to see off Cribbs last weekend.
The Corsham manager was critical of his side's Jekyll & Hyde display in last week's draw with Warminster Town but on Saturday, Nick Holton struck either side of half-time, with his second a diving header to finish off a fine team move.
Jackson Hamilton fired home the hosts' third of the afternoon, with Cribbs pulling a late goal back after ex-Chippenham Town man Dave Gilroy had been sent off for two bookings.
"I was a bit annoyed last week because I wanted us to perform for a whole match, but we did that on Saturday," said Rawlings.
"We'd played really well in the first half and we stressed at half-time that we needed to carry it on but that's exactly what we did and the only shame was that we relaxed and let them get a goal back late on."
Tuesday's trip to Shepton Mallet was postponed.
Higdon hat-trick in rout
DARREN Perrin isn't getting carried away by his Melksham Town's rapid rise up the Toolstation League Premier Division table but is proud of his side's recent fine form.
Melksham hit the goal trail once again on Monday evening as they put six goals past Hengrove Athletic after half-time, with Gary Higdon netting a hat-trick and Dan Kovacs grabbing a brace whil Leigh Rogers and Ben Thomson also got themselves on the scoresheet.
Town's victory provided an emphatic response to dropped points against bottom-of-the-table Bishop Sutton last weekend, with 17-year-old Harry Waylen grabbing a last-gasp equaliser to rescue a 2-2 draw after Kovacs' earlier strike.
"We used our get out of jail free card last weekend and I asked for a response on Monday, which I got," said Perrin.
"The players have been absolutely magnificent. I'm not getting carried away because I know things can come back and kick you in the backside, but the players deserve all of the credit."
Bees' buzz is back as Town return with a win
TROWBRIDGE Town manager Mike Alford was delighted to see his side finally return to action after 11 weeks kicking their heels.
The wet winter weather had put paid to every Trowbridge fixture since their 3-1 defeat to FC Chippenham Youth on December 14 but last weekend, the Bees finally got back in the saddle as they thrashed Wroughton 5-2 at the Weir Field.
Otis Young and Ian Groves both had changes to open the scoring early on before hosts Wrough-ton broke the deadlock midway through the first half.
But Trowbridge hit back instantly through Young, who grabbed his second of the game with a fine free-kick to make it 3-1 after Groves had already got himself on the scoresheet.
Wroughton reduced the arrears after the break with a delfected strike but Kurt James killed off any chance of a comeback as he slotted home Trow-bridge's fourth.
Fellow substitute Tarick Yachou then pounced to put the icing on the cake.
"It was fantastic to be playing again and although we were rusty, we did OK," said Alford. "There were some really good moments and the highlight was seeing Otis back on the score sheet. We made hard work of it but the lads' effort was brilliant."
Fifth-placed Trowbridge are due to host Wilts Calne Town at Woodmarsh this weekend.
Meanwhile, in Division One of the Wiltshire League, title-chasers Melksham Town Reserves, who go to Blunsdon tomorrow, closed the gap on league leaders Intel to a point with a 3-1 triumph in Swindon.

Kahramanmaraş Aksu TV; Kaçkar TV, 27 January 2011
Samsun Aks TV, 27 January 2011
When news of any matter reaches them they spread it about, whether it is of a reassuring or disquieting nature. If they had only referred it to the Messenger and those in command among them, those among them able to discern the truth about it would have had proper knowledge of it. If it were not for Allah's favour to you and His mercy, all but a very few of you would have followed Shaytan. (Surat al-Nisa', 83)
For example, something happens. Someone takes his brother to the doctor, who says it looks like a malignant tumor. He spreads the word to all the family. But some relative has a weak heart and then suffers a coronary. He goes into a coma. That is really not sensible. That is why, when news emerges, one should first hand it on to an expert who can analyze it properly before spreading it around. That person can then decide whether or not to pass it on.
Those who make hijra in the Way of Allah will find many places of refuge on the earth and ample sustenance. If anyone leaves his home, making hijra to Allah and His Messenger, and death catches up with him, it is Allah Who will reward him. Allah is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surat an-Nisa', 100)
How does a Muslim go on the hegira on Allah's path in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as)? His mother says; "We regard Islam and religion as nonsense. We do not want you to talk about religion. That is what I demand of you as your mother." "If you pray, I will disown you," she says. "Thank you. I will be delighted if you do it at once," he will say. "I no longer want you in this house" she says. "I do not want you if you turn to Allah and religion, to Islam, and take Muslims as your friends" she says. "Thanks be to Allah," he says. "Kiss me goodbye, I must be going" he says. And he will go on the hegira to be with other Muslims.

Building A 21st Century Infrastructure In Communities Across the Nation
Washington, D.C. – In cities and towns throughout the country, natural gas utilities are working with their local governments to find cost-effective ways to ensure the safe and reliable delivery of clean natural gas. The American Gas Foundation has released a report detailing the factors driving the need to upgrade existing pipeline infrastructure, the status of these efforts and a discussion of alternative methods of recovering the costs associated with the necessary investments.
"These unique cost recovery programs for investments in enhancing local natural gas distribution networks provide important benefits to customers," said Ron Jibson, Chairman of the American Gas Foundation and Chairman, President and CEO of Questar Corp. "America's natural gas utilities are working with regulators at the state and local level to make the necessary investments in upgrading these systems while continuing to deliver natural gas at affordable prices."
In 2011, United States Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood brought together federal, state and industry stakeholders in order to discuss steps for making continued improvements to the safety and efficiency of the nation's pipeline infrastructure, and called on state regulators to provide for timely recovery of pipeline replacement investments, recognizing that reliance on traditional cost recovery approaches may impede efforts to accelerate these activities.
Dave McCurdy, president and CEO of the American Gas Association, said, "Our members are building the 21st century infrastructure that this nation needs. America's domestic abundance of this clean energy source has made it an affordable and efficient way to heat our homes, run our vehicles, generate power and support other forms of renewable energy. We now have a terrific opportunity to continue to upgrade our delivery system to meet this growing demand."
The report states: "Many states have concluded that the historical reliance on resource-intensive base rate cases is not an effective or efficient means of meeting the safety imperatives associated with aging pipeline infrastructure. Several jurisdictions have implemented alternative cost recovery mechanisms to address the need for timely recovery including infrastructure cost trackers, infrastructure base rate surcharges, and deferred regulatory assets. The specific mechanisms reflect the goals of the local natural gas utility and the particular statutory guidance, policies, and precedent of the respective jurisdiction. Notably, the majority of these programs have been implemented within the last five years."
In June, the American Gas Association released a new "Natural Gas Rate Round-Up," a periodic update on innovative rate designs. The report highlights several states that are on the cutting edge of innovative rate designs, working with their natural gas utilities to build and maintain an advanced energy delivery system while continuing to deliver natural gas at affordable prices.
The American Gas Foundation (AGF) is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1989 focused on being an independent source of information research and programs on energy and environmental issues that affect public policy, with a particular emphasis on natural gas.

3 chim-chim cheers for 'Poppins'.
USA Today
Based on P.I. Travers cherished stories and the classic 1964 Walt Disney film, Mary Poppins features the Sherman brothers original Academy Award-winning songs.
The show has been created, in collaboration with Cameron Mackintosh, by Academy Award-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes, who has written the book, and the Olivier Award-winning team of George Stiles and Anthony Drewe, who have composed new songs and additional music and lyrics.
Mary Poppins marks the first collaboration between Disney, producer of acclaimed The Lion King and Cameron Mackintosh, legendary producer of the record-breaking The Phantom of the Opera, Cats and Les Miserables. The result is a musical so extraordinarily enchanting that, like the critics, you'll have just one word for it: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Opening night: 19 February 2013
Closing night: 24 February 2013
Mary Poppins is for elementary school children and older.

Something was off at first.
The right earlobe, which in life had been slightly longer than the left.
The stomach, which in bronze arched out into a hint of a pot belly.
Those are the kinds of details John Wooden's daughter, Nan, pored over when working with sculptor Blair Buswell. The project had to be perfect: an 8-foot, nearly 400-pound statue of the iconic UCLA coach, unveiled Friday afternoon just outside the north entrance of Pauley Pavilion.
"I wanted people to be able to look at it and say, `Oh, that's John Wooden,"' Nan said. "I don't think there's any doubt."
He now stands in a campus thoroughfare, with arms folded, knee bent, gazing out in thoughtful repose from behind his black-frame glasses.
The hope, many said, was that Wooden -- who led the UCLA basketball team to 10 NCAA championships from 1948 to 1975 -- would continue to inspire the thousands of students that will walk past him every day.
The two-year process was made possible in part by a donation by Jim Collins, chairman emeritus of Sizzler International and active UCLA alum. Calling Wooden a "friend for life," Collins shared a story from the coach's non-basketball activities.
In 1982, Collins -- who first met Wooden in late 1950 -- suggested Wooden take a place on the board of directors; the coach and his wife, Nell, had been frequent customers at the Sizzler location on Ventura Boulevard, near their Encino home. Wooden said yes. For nine years, he never missed a quarterly meeting.
For nearly half an hour, underneath the sweltering sun, students and alumni alike shared their own memories. David Bocarsly, a third-generation Bruin, reminisced about the games he attended growing up; at halftime, he would often run down to Wooden's seat to say hello.
Chancellor Gene Block talked about Wooden's famed "Pyramid of Success," a copy of which adorned his office.
The task of capturing what Wooden was in all things, to all people, was immense. Tipped for the task was Buswell, a sculptor who has spent 30 years crafting inductees to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The resident of Pleasant Grove, Utah, spent a day combing through the UCLA archives, perusing hundreds upon hundreds of pictures before he found the right one: a picture of Wooden in his late coaching days, plaid-jacketed and wearing an expression of confidence and intensity.
"I loved the expression," Buswell said. "And I thought, if I could capture that, I've got something."
Buswell spent a year on the statue, half of which was spent working on the full-size model. He juggled other projects as well, but this was his major undertaking of the year. The result, he said, is among the highlights of his career.
Shipped some 700 miles, the statue was unveiled in a flurry of applause as a UCLA-branded veil was drawn. The irony, of course, is that Wooden himself - who died in 2010 at 99 years old - likely would have declined such a gesture.
"He'd probably pooh-pooh this," said former UCLA women's basketball great Ann Meyers Drysdale, who emceed the ceremony. "He wasn't one to draw attention to himself."
"He would have been against it," said his grandson, Greg Wooden. "Absolutely. Unless his whole team could be out there."
Wooden might have scoffed at his own bronze likeness, but his statue is as much for those around him as it is for the man himself.
On the stone base beneath his feet, etched into a bronze plaque, is one of his favorite sayings: "Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable."

HOUSTON - A late night bar brawl lead to a shooting in the Montrose area, investigators said.
It happened at a bar near Stanford Street and Hyde Park Boulevard around 10 p.m. Saturday.
Authorities said the two men involved in the incident had been fighting earlier in the week. The fight continued when police said the two saw each other at the same bar.
Investigators said one of the men pulled out a gun and shot the other in the chest. The man who was shot was rushed to Ben Taub Hospital, where he was listed in serious condition. Police arrested the suspected gunman at the scene.

An Ogden woman was killed Sunday morning after she lost control of her vehicle and plowed into a pole and a parked car.
Ogden police Lt. Troy Burnett said the 41-year-old woman, whose name was not immediately released pending the notification of her family, was driving southbound about 6:20 a.m. in the 2000 block of Harrison Boulevard when she left the roadway at a high rate of speed, drove up over a curb and hit a light pole.
Burnett said the woman's vehicle continued on and struck a Cadillac Escalade that was parked in a driveway. The impact propelled the Cadillac about 50 feet into a second vehicle parked in another driveway.

HOUSTON - An apartment fire ripped through a southeast Houston apartment complex Friday.
Fire officials say the fire broke out around 5:30 pm at an apartment complex on Beamer Road and Scarsdale.
Amile Porter lives at the complex. He said he went door-to-door, warning residents of the danger.
"One lady was asleep with her baby," said Porter. "I made sure everybody was out and called the fire department."
Fire officials said the flames wasted no time ripping through the complex.
"When we got here, we had fire all the way up through the roof," said Jerry Terrell with the Houston Fire Department. "We got here within a few minutes after we got the call, but it already had heavy smoke and fire when we got here."
So far, there is no word on any injuries.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Topic: Guillermo Afaro Martinez "Memo" 1942-2008
It is with great sadness that I post here to inform everyone that my dad passed away last night at the young age of 65. He battled CC for 20 months and died peacefully with my mom by his side and the rest of his family surrounding him.
Guillermo Alfaro was born in 1942 in Mexico City to a family of physicians and not surprisingly became one himself. In 1965 while a resident in Paris he met my mom, with whom he was married for almost 43 years. In 1968 they left for Edinburgh Scotland so dad could pursue his PhD; they later lived in Philadelphia where dad as a postdoctoral fellow. Upon his return to Mexico they had their only son (me) and lived very happily in the same house since 1973. Dad held a variety of teaching and research positions in the National University and National Institute of Cancer. He retired in 2006 upon his diagnosis.
My dad was a man of strange habits and a rather atypical person. He was affectionate but not social and would rather read a book than spend a night in the town. He devoured books and knowledge like no one I ever met and he was the person you could always count on for obscure facts.
Dad was a man out of time. Sometimes I think he should have lived in a different era. He was always out of sorts in big cities and loved his little country house outside Mexico City. He was a passionate traveler and loved to visit us in Seattle, where I often feared he would want to move:)
My dad was not a perfect man. Seldom agreed to things easily, had a temper and was Philly fan, something inadmissible in a Mariner household. He was also stubborn and would sometimes spend too much time with his own mind than with others. That however, made him who he was. Eclectic, intelligent and above all honest to a fault.
I know I will miss my dad dearly and will cherish the conversations we had, his visits to Seattle and his love for my mom, my wife and his dear Ines and Andrea.
I feel a strange sense of relief knowing he is no longer suffering or depressed; I frequently think he was wasted by depression beyond any tumors.
"Memo" will be missed but he leaves a legacy that will not be forgotten (plus several thousand books no one will know what to do with)
Dad, I will miss you very much.

God maintains the temperature of the Earth in equilibrium and ensures the continuity of that equilibrium. If the temperature were to rise a little the ice caps would melt and the equilibrium on Earth be destroyed. But no such thing happens. This equilibrium ordained on Earth and in the entire universe is constantly maintained. If the heat of the Sun were to rise a little the whole of our galaxy would be affected. But the order determined by God is perfectly stable, and God ensures that it is constantly and uninterruptedly maintained. A similar picture was produced in the world-famous film The Day After Tomorrow, in which a storm suddenly arose and the air began to freeze, so quickly that a helicopter suddenly freezes and the people inside it freeze to death in a matter of seconds.
The fact that the Earth constantly follows a safe and regular course in this giant universe is a sign of faith that people must reflect deeply on. God shows us His infinite might. Anyone with an open mind will realise his own helplessness in the face of the might of God by way of these signs leading to faith, and will see that he has no power to do anything unless God so wishes. In one verse of the Holy Qur'an God says:
We made the sky a preserved and protected roof yet still they turn away from Our Signs. It is He who created night and day and the sun and moon, each one swimming in a sphere. (Sura al-Anbiya', 32-33)

What a great afternoon ! The sun was out, the sky was blue and we were going zip lining at Marble Mountain. We met our guides Reg Flynn and Daniel Kean at the Marble Zip Tours (MZT) office (conveniently located at the base of Marble) for the 2 pm tour. We had enjoyed zip lining with MZT previously but had not experienced their newest zip line which brings you back to the base of Marble Mountain via their longest and fastest zip line yet!

Fall is at its peak in Western Newfoundland right now (from the end of September to mid-October) and there are several great reasons to make the trek in this direction from anywhere in the Atlantic region.

Su-Mei Tse
2008, 2009
Su-Mei Tse (b. 1973 Luxembourg) works in a wide range of media that includes photography, sculpture, video, and installation practice. One finds a deep appreciation for craft and gesture in her work. Tse grew up in a musical and culturally diverse family and is comfortable moving between different cultures, occasionally diverting them and testing them against common clichés. Trained as a classical cellist, she creates work that often explores visual and auditory perception
Su-Mei Tse's work has been exhibited nationally and internationally including solo shows at Galerie Serge Le Borgne, France; Art Tower Mito, Japan (2009); Seattle Art Museum, Seattle (2008); PS1, New York (2006); the Casino, Forum d'Art Contemporain, Luxembourg (2006); the Renaissance Society, Chicago (2005); Museet for Samtidskunst, Roskilde, Denmark (2005); and the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden (2004). In 2007, Tse collaborated with artist Lee Mingwei on a two-part exhibition, Duologue, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Taiwan. Her work has also been shown at the 2006 Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennal, Japan, the 26th São Paulo Biennial, and the 2003 Venice Biennale, where she was awarded the Leone d'Oro for her three-part installation, Air Conditioned. In addition, Tse received the Prize for Contemporary Art by the Foundation Prince Pierre de Monaco in 2009, an Artist Residency and Project at the Fabric Workshop and Museum, Philadelphia in 2008, and the Edward Steichen Award, Luxembourg in 2005.
Su-Mei Tse trained as a classical cellist at the Luxembourg Conservatory where she won the Cello First Prize in 1991. She continued her studies at the Conservatoire de Musique in Paris as well as studied textiles and printing at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués where she received a diploma. In 2000, Tse graduated with a degree in Plastic Arts from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Su-Mei Tse was born in Luxembourg and currently lives and works in Berlin and Luxembourg.
While in residence in 2008, Su-Mei Tse spent many hours in the galleries and archives doing research. During these visits Tse looked through Isabella Stewart Gardner's music programs from concerts Mrs. Gardner held at the Green Hill estate, her Beacon Hill residence, and later at the museum. She reviewed music manuscripts and scores by composers such as Gabriel Fauré, Wilhelm Gericke, Charles Gounod, Clayton Johns, Theodore Leschetizky, Charles Martin Loeffler, and Ignas Moscheles. She also looked through two of Mrs. Gardner's Guest books as well as her travel scrapbooks from Asia. As Su-Mei Tse completed her first three weeks at the Gardner she and 1999 AIR Lee Mingwei had a conversation in the Tapestry Room. These two artists and friends talked about their work, their residencies at the Gardner and the thinking that shaped their forthcoming exhibition in Taipei.
In 2009 Su-Mei Tse returned to the Gardner to install a new work that merged sound, sculpture, and a video projection. Her project, Floating Memories, reflected on the passing of time, distant memory, absence, longing, and directly referenced the empty frames in the Dutch Room which remain as an ever-present reminder of the theft of thirteen artworks in 1990. Tse spoke about her work with curator Pieranna Cavalchini and invited Belgium songwriter and musician Niko Hafkenscheid to perform at a Gardner After Hours evening while her work was on view. Other programs included a gallery talk by 2006 AIR and video artist, Cliff Evans, and conversation between Cavalchini and Enrico Lunghi, Director of the Mudam Museum in Luxembourg. Tse created an artist book in conjunction with the exhibition entitled Su-Mei Tse: Notes that was published by Charta Edizioni, Milan.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
"I know what you're thinking - you're thinking that there's no such thing as telepathy. Now you're thinking that that was an old joke. Now you're getting annoyed, and you're thinking about punching me. You're struggling to control your temper... struggling... struggling..."
"All signs point to...uh...ask media!"
"Those of you who believe in Telepathy, raise my hand!"
"That's telekinesis you dumbass!"
Note: This article was dictated by the spirits through a ouija board.
Telepathy is the process by which someone can read the thoughts of other persons. For example, you are thinking of Charlie Brown. Well, you are now. This is another thing telepathy can do, it can transmit thoughts into the minds of others. According to X-Men comics, the use of telepathy causes a sort of wobbly purple halo to form around the head, though this has been disputed.
The term telepathy was first coined by psychic researcher Praho Fywiner in 1999, but pre-coined in the Nineteenth century by researchers using precognition. The phenomenon has been in existence for longer than that, however, since the times of Eragon. But prior to being named in 1999, telepathy was referred to as "thought transference", "mental radio" or "bullshit".
edit Experiments
There are two ways to test for psychic powers. Firstly, has the subject's mental abilities been the focus of a TV special? If so, then the subject is indeed psychic.
The second way uses zener cards. The tester makes a huge pile of these cards, shuffles them and looks through them one by one, while the testee tries to read the tester's mind. The testee traditionally sits behind the tester and promises not to peek.
edit Uses For Telepathy
A telepath could be the world's greatest salesman, diplomat, poker player, politician, psychologist, cult leader, con man, supervillain, superhero or detective the world has ever known. Instead, they make their money from psychic hotlines and appearance fees on talk shows. The reason for this has to do with the World Telepath Association's ethical guidelines:
- Do not use your psychic powers for evil, unless your name begins with a z, or you are named after a mental illness (Dr. Psycho, Count Phobia, Professor Depression, Senator Schizophrenia,
- Do make espouse an ill-defined, vaguely hippy-flavoured lovey dovey worldview, unless the Pentagon is hiring you, in which case talk up the possibility of assassinating Osama bin Laden with a dowsing rod.
- Do not read the mind of Burt Reynolds. He deserves better.
- Do not work for a living. What are you, stupid? Oh yeah, you ARE!
Mistic Meg predicts that you, <insert name here>, will meet a tall, dark stranger and will then get raped.
edit Limitations of Telepathy
In spite of the vast powers that Jean Grey and Saturn Girl posess, they will never be as interesting as Wolverine and Brainiac 5, respectively.

THE Archbishop of York has backed the campaign to keep children's heart surgery at Leeds General Infirmary, where youngsters from North Yorkshire receive life-saving treatment.
Dr John Sentamu has visited the unit which could be forced to stop carrying out surgery under an NHS shake-up, following a review in July which recommended care should be concentrated at fewer sites.
However, senior medics have warned children's lives could be at risk if paediatric surgery is stopped in Leeds and families from York and North Yorkshire have to travel to Newcastle instead.
The Archbishop said it had been "a great privilege" to visit the unit, saying: "It serves the whole region and has saved the lives of so many across Yorkshire and further afield.
"It is inconceivable that we could lose such a fantastic integrated local service. This is one of the top-performing units in the country and it is the only one with the recognised 'gold standard' of having the co-location of all paediatric services which are required.
"I have been supporting this campaign to keep the children's heart surgery unit at Leeds open for some time behind the scenes. I have raised my concerns personally with Government ministers. But I want to say publicly that we need to keep this unit open.
"We need a strong NHS serving a large number of children. Closing the specialist unit at Leeds will have a devastating effect on so many people. It would be terrible news for people across Yorkshire."
Dr Sentamu said "good co-ordination and clinical collaboration" was needed rather than "a culture of winner-takes-all excellence".
Sir Neil McKay, chair of the Joint Committee of Primary Care Trusts, which made the heart unit decision, said: "Royal Colleges of Medicine and clinicians publicly welcomed the decision on the future of children's heart services.
"The NHS decision-making committee listened very carefully to all the views expressed during the largest consultation in NHS history. Co-located services and population density were key issues which were given extensive consideration by the NHS when making its decision, which are a matter of public record.
"Since the NHS's decision. these issues have been included in a referral to the Secretary of State and are currently subject to an independent review by the Independent Reconfiguration Panel."

We were in a rush to get some errands done after work so we can make it to my niece's 7th birthday dinner on time.
We stopped by Home Depot on Leila Avenue to pick a few things up for our basement renovations. Because we were in a rush to make it to the dinner, I told my husband I'd leave him with our 16-month-old daughter to pay for the items in our shopping cart while I walked over to the Safeway at the other end of the strip mall to pick up some milk for our daughter.
While paying for the milk, I got a call from my husband. He had locked our daughter in the car with the keys in the vehicle. He thought they must have fallen out of his pocket when putting her in the car seat.
Being a worried mom, I ran back to the car with my jug of milk and was very flustered. My husband called my brother to pick him up and drive him to our house to get the spare key.
Luckily, a kind young couple pulled up with their son, also 16 months old and asked if we needed help. The man said it would be much faster if he drove my husband to get the spare key. Without another thought, my husband hopped in the car with the couple.
Because of the wonderful act of kindness of this couple, we were able to get my baby girl out of the car and I was able to hold her in my arms to comfort her.
We cannot thank you enough for going out of your way and helping us on that stressful evening. Your kindness and generosity went a long way.
— A. and T. Toledo

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Jose Abreu clubbed his major league- leading 29th homer of the season, a two-run shot that set the tone for the Chicago White Sox's 6-2 decision over the Cleveland Indians.
Gordon Beckham added a two-run double and Scott Carroll tossed five scoreless innings before exiting with a back injury to help the White Sox halt a three- game losing streak.
"I tried to do my best to stay out there as long as I could," Carroll said.
Prior to his departure, Carroll (4-5) held the Indians to a pair of singles and a walk in the 29-year-old rookie's second straight impressive start on the road. He yielded just one hit over 6 2/3 scoreless innings to best Boston in Fenway Park on Monday.
Cleveland's Zach McAllister (3-5), making his first major league start since May 21, also pitched well despite being hung with the loss. The right-hander was reached for three runs on only four hits over seven solid frames.
"I felt like I got in a good groove," McAllister said. "I made a couple bad pitches that really hurt me."
Michael Brantley had a solo homer for the Indians and Jason Kipnis went 1- for-3 with an RBI in defeat.
McAllister, called up earlier in the day to fill-in for an injured Justin Masterson, set down nine of the first 10 Chicago hitters before issuing a leadoff walk to Alexei Ramirez in the fourth. His next pitch wound up in the Chicago bullpen courtesy of Abreu, who launched a slider the other way to break a scoreless deadlock on the White Sox' initial hit of the day.
The Cleveland hurler didn't surrender another hit until Alejandro De Aza and Moises Sierra came through with consecutive singles to begin the sixth. McAllister got Abreu to bounce into a double play this time, but Adam Dunn followed with a single off the right-field wall that plated De Aza for a 3-0 lead.
Carroll, meanwhile, began his stint with two perfect innings and stranded two Indians in both the third and fourth. Zach Putnam kept the shutout bid going upon taking over in the sixth, but got into a bases-loaded jam after giving up three singles an inning later.
Javy Guerra then entered and walked Kipnis to put Cleveland on the board, though he prevented further damage with an inning-ending strikeout of Asdrubal Cabrera.
Brantley got the Tribe within one with a leadoff homer off Eric Surkamp in the eighth. Cleveland didn't get another runner on the rest of the way, however, and the White Sox put the contest out of reach with a three-run ninth.
Austin Adams, making his major league debut for the Indians, was greeted by a Dayan Viciedo single and a Conor Gillaspie double to start the top of the ninth. Beckham brought them both home with a double into the left-field corner and later crossed the plate on Leury Garcia's sacrifice fly.
Game Notes
Ramirez appeared to hurt his back while attempting to field a ground ball in the third inning and was removed in favor of Sierra after walking in the fourth ... The White Sox ended a nine-game losing streak against AL Central teams and won for only the third time in their last 14 visits to Progressive Field .. Brantley's homer extended his hitting streak to nine games ... Beckham's ninth-inning double ended a 1-for-32 stretch for the Chicago second baseman ... White Sox outfielder Adam Eaton (wrist/ankle) and Cleveland's Chris Dickerson (hamstring) both sat out the game.

Did you know?
South Africa's oldest independent newspaper is the Grocott's Mail, operating out of offices in Grahamstown.
If you called Grahamstown the 'Settler City', the 'City of Saints', 'Sleepy Hollow' or 'Rini', you'd be correct on all counts.
This Eastern Cape town is where the early British settlers – craftspeople and builders in the main – produced some of the most remarkable architecture in South Africa. Just spend a day walking its streets, and you'll find yourself back in the mid-1800s: follies, fancies and Victorian styles reminiscent of London. Settler City.
Perhaps, because there were so many skilled immigrants, a large number of churches and schools were built. City of Saints.
Grahamstown also lies in a geographic dip – it's always a little warmer in town (which is good when the cold winters set in) than on the outskirts. Sleepy Hollow.
Rini is also the name of a local chief who once held sway in this area, before the grinding succession of 9 frontier wars between the British and the Xhosa, who did not relinquish their part of the Eastern Cape lightly.
But mostly, Grahamstown should be called 'Student City' after the thousands of young men and women who study at Rhodes University. Rhodes is world-famous for the inventors, thinkers, writers and academics it has produced over the generations, and when it is open for learning, the town buzzes.
The students – who enjoy these tree-lined streets and the thrill of learning in a country setting – set the tone of Grahamstown during term time with their parties, their events and their purely joyous presence.
And when the mid-year vacation arrives and the students leave for home, Grahamstown gets ready for the party of the year: the annual National Arts Festival.
The festival really kicks off on a Sunday afternoon in July up at the Settlers' Monument. The conductor hoists his baton high and the gleaming orchestra sweeps the crowd off to a magical place ruled by music and delight. And residents and visitors alike alight on 10 days of amazing…

Thakoon Fall 2011
The one constant so far these past few days has been the reinvention of the parka. Inevitable, perhaps: The coldest couple of winters in eons, and, less practically, something has to fill the void left by the dearly departed biker jacket, RIP. Many, many designers have worked tirelessly to bring you infinite variety: shrunken to jacket proportions, tailed like a top coat, furred up, paneled with shearling, hooded, or nude of hood. It has been worn with just about everything—most often, though, over a long evening dress, because, you know, decamping from party to car can be pretty treacherous, so what better protection than a utility jacket? Thakoon Panichgul had his own contribution to the genre at his show at the Plaza Sunday evening, having reworked it with a wasp waist from the eighteenth-century French court, and Masai-inspired draping. Oh, and down quilting. Oh, and a Masai check. Then he threw them over lanky crop pants, and skirts that were super-short and super-full, or bustled all the way to the floor.
All this worked . . . sometimes. Other times, it felt like the median age of the women wearing his clothes had dropped by at least a decade, when everything became too abbreviated. But it's a small quibble, because this was a collection with a clear and concise point of view, where the colors—rose pink, scarlet, a blue that was as much Yves Klein as it was tribal Africa—were wonderful, as were his accessories, like the ankle boots resting on high chunky slanted heels, in deep red velvet or yellow batik. And for all the work that clearly went into this, sometimes it was the simplest looks—like a one-shouldered "African plaid" dress, or a jacquard sweater over Berber striped pants—that stole the show.

Patient Bucs wait for Phils' bullpen, stun host
Inge's go-ahead single caps comeback after Wandy keeps it close
PHILADELPHIA -- Brandon Inge returned from the disabled list on Tuesday with the goal to do whatever the Pirates asked of him. Two games later, it's hard to imagine the Pirates asking for anything more than what they have received.
Wandy Rodriguez allowed three runs, including solo home runs by Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, on nine hits, but Pittsburgh rallied against the Phillies' bullpen for a 5-3 win at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday. After Pedro Alvarez's seventh-inning home run off of reliever Antonio Bastardo made it 3-2, a two-run eighth capped by Inge's go-ahead single with the bases loaded off setup man Mike Adams led to a much-needed Bucs win.
"You just try to do whatever the skipper [Clint Hurdle] asks you to do," Inge said. "[Coming off the bench is] different for me. It's a learning curve for me. I'm having to ask guys about it. I'm just trying to get a scouting report from some of the guys that have done it before."
Pinch-hitter Jose Tabata led off the eighth with a walk. Starling Marte followed with an infield single and Travis Snider -- 0-for-3 up to that point -- singled into right to score Tabata and tie the game at 3. Adams walked Andrew McCutchen to end his night without recording an out and left the bases loaded for reliever Jeremy Horst.
To counter Horst, Hurdle went to the right-handed bat of Inge. On Tuesday night, Inge provided all the offense the Bucs needed in a 2-0 win as his RBI double off Cole Hamels scored the first run of the game. On Wednesday, Inge swung at Horst's first offering and his RBI single through a drawn-in infield handed the Pirates a 4-3 lead. Horst did get a 3-2-3 double play two pitches later by Neil Walker followed by a ground out by Alvarez, but the damage was done.
"I think it's more of a mindset," said Inge, who is a career .326 (43-for-132) with the bases loaded, with 123 RBIs. "You know that you can really tremendously help your team. One run there is great, anything over that is complete bonus. You know what kind of impact you can make with the bases loaded.
"I think most guys try to focus more. It's been a learning curve, because I think earlier in my career, I put too much pressure on myself. Now I'm just trying to have some fun and drop some runs. It's a better mindset. You can't worry about bases loaded and just compete against that pitcher."
Meanwhile, Rodriguez had opened the year in dominant form, having allowed just one earned run over 16 innings of work. That included just five hits and one walk -- but that type of efficiency wasn't the story against the Phillies on Wednesday.
Rodriguez had just one clean inning, and at least one runner reached second in five of the 5 2/3 innings he worked. Still, the veteran battled and opened the sixth with consecutive groundouts.
That's when the wheels came off for Rodgriguez as Ben Revere reached on an infield single and moved to third on a single through the left side by Humberto Quintero. Pinch-hitter Kevin Frandsen's single gave the Phillies a 3-1 lead and led to Rodriguez being lifted for Vin Mazzaro.
"Today I didn't have my best stuff, but I tried to compete," said Rodriguez, who got a no-decision. "I tried to hold it together to a run or two. I made three mistakes, and they scored three runs. I had a couple of mistakes with my location. Like I said, I was just competing."
Through much of the early going, both teams struggled with the large strike zone of home-plate umpire Dan Iassogna. A prime example was the first inning, when Marte opened the game with a walk off Roy Halladay.
Halladay managed to strike out the side despite his 25-pitch first frame. All three strikeouts by Snider, McCutchen and Garrett Jones were looking as both Snider and McCutchen took outside corner fastballs for the third strike.
Halladay settled down and threw just 18 pitches over the next two innings to enter the fourth without allowing a hit.
"That first inning, we stretched [Halladay] out and made him throw 25 pitches," Hurdle said. "It was like wrestling in with a two-point reversal with two short innings and before you know it, he has less pitches than Wandy. We didn't adjust accordingly. He had a method to his madness out there."
Down 1-0 in the fourth, Jones reached on a two-out walk. Walker was then hit by a pitch and Alvarez followed with a single into left-center to tie the game at 1. The rally ended as Russell Martin, looking to extend an eight-game hit streak, struck out looking on a high curve. Martin stared down Iassogna to no avail.
Rodriguez's bumpy night started with a first-inning leadoff single by Jimmy Rollins to left-center. Rollins decided to challenge McCutchen's arm in center and tried to stretch the single into a double. McCutchen gunned Rollins down. Utley followed with a home run into the right-field stands for a 1-0 lead.

A MINEHEAD GP has been recognised by the British Medical Association for his voluntary work in running the Minehead RNLI Crew.
The BMA is highlighting the voluntary work done by doctors, and is raising awareness of the benefits brought to communities, the NHS, and doctors themselves, by embarking on a new initiative; 'Doctors as Volunteers'.
The BMA has run a competition inviting doctors to share their experiences and create a poster promoting their cause.
Dr John Higgie, a Minehead GP, who volunteers as the RNLI's local operation manager will have his poster displayed at an exhibition this week.
He is on continuous call to respond to launch requests from coastguards, to authorise the boats to launch, to monitor operations while they are at sea, and to ensure the station is immediately readied for when the next call comes.
John said volunteering for the RNLI brings immense satisfaction.
He adeed: "Nearly every call involves helping people who have got into trouble, and the look of relief on their faces when a lifeboat arrives more than repays all the effort, training, and the risks inevitably involved in putting to sea in the bad weather.
"The RNLI builds the finest and safest lifeboats in the world for its 4,600 crewmen and its budget - unsupported by Government - is £150 million a year.
"In other words it's only volunteering that keeps the lifeboats afloat and saving lives at sea: what greater incentive could there be to get involved?"
Dr Ian Wilson, chair of the BMA's Representative Body, said: "The posters are just a taste of the many remarkable and moving stories we know our doctors are involved in.
"By showcasing individual experiences, we hope to encourage and inspire those considering voluntary work to take a chance and go for it."
