Forums: Index > The Wizengamot archive > Concerning anonymous vandalism
I wonder if we could stem vandalism by requiring people to be logged in before they can edit anything. Anyone who wanted to edit would have to first log in, which would force vandals to create user names every time they wanted to mess with the wiki. I think this would make it harder for them to vandalise, as they wouldn't be able to hide behind a random-IP generator. Is it possible? Mafalda Hopkirk 17:15, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- That's not a bad idea, the Muppet Wiki does this I think. Let's see what other users think . John Reaves (talk) 22:25, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- I like the idea. My only concern is that, by stopping anon editting, we may discourage potential editors rather than encourage. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 22:35, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I disagree. I didn't know how to create an acount for months after I started editing this wiki. Had I not been able to edit I wouldn't be on this wiki today.-Harry Potter Fantic 1
- Well, what would happen would be that a window would come up saying please register, with instructions. Mafalda Hopkirk 00:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- A large proportion of our editors are anonymous. I think this would significantly stunt our growth. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- Please Don't, If this wiki was as big as ffxi or wookieepedia, then maybe I would agree, but its not and most traffic comes along the way of Anons, so its not really a good idea to do that even though that extension is not really enabled on this wiki ...--Cometstyles 22:06, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
- I just want to reitterate that i think it would be better if people couldn't edit pages anonymously, and i'll point to the recent vandalisms of Dumbledore's article. Mafalda Hopkirk 22:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Dwelling in Unity: Students from Seven Seminaries Gather for OISM
February 25–27, 2011 • Campus Event: OISM Gathering
How does one accomplish Orthodox Christian unity among jurisdictions? "One heart at a time," claims Monk Kilian (Sprecher), a St. Vladimir's seminarian who concluded his one-year term as President of the Orthodox Inter-Seminary Movement (OISM) at the annual Spring meeting of the group, which gathered on our campus over the course of Meatfare weekend. OISM is a society that encourages Orthodox Christian students from multiple seminaries to interact with each other and to learn about each other's liturgical and cultural traditions.
In addition to St. Vladimir's students who took part in OISM's Spring activities, twenty-five men and women from six other Orthodox seminaries were present, representing: Holy Trinity Seminary, Jordanville, New York; Holy Cross School of Theology, Brookline, Massachusetts; St. Tikhon's Seminary, South Canaan, Pennsylvania; St. Sophia Seminary, South Bound Brook, New Jersey; Christ the Saviour Seminary, Johnstown, Pennyslvania; and St. Herman Seminary in Kodiak, Alaska. Seminarians who gathered represented five jurisdictions: the Orthodox Church in America (OCA), the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR), the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (GOA); the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the United States of America (Ecumenical Patriarch); and the American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Archdiocese of the U.S.A. (Ecumenical Patriarch).
Father Kilian was especially pleased that two students from Alaska could attend. "Our brothers from St. Herman's," he explained, "whose flights were sponsored by the OCA and a donation of air miles, spent an entire week with us at St. Vladimir's. They sat in on classes, visited with students, and took trips to St. Tikhon's Monastery and Seminary, as well as parishes in Connecticut. They also were able to see some of the sights of Manhattan."
Father Kilian also noted that all the seminarians were able to celebrate their unity in Christ by participating in a Memorial Divine Liturgy, which preceded the traditional guest lecture, this time given by The Rev. Dr. Alexander Rentel, Assistant Professor of Canon Law and John and Paraskeva Skvir Lecturer in Practical Theology at St. Vladimir's. Father Alexander spoke on the topic "Towards a Renewed Mystagogy," which sparked a lively question-and-answer session among the gratified participants.
At the OISM meeting proper, students discussed issues of their respective schools, as well as what the transition from being under the umbrella of the Standing Conference of Orthodox Bishop in America (SCOBA) to the Episcopal Assembly structures might mean for OISM, on a pan-Orthodox level. Following these discussions, new board members were elected for 2011–2012. "Congratulations are due to our new President, Brent Holliday [Holy Cross Seminary], our Vice-President Alexis Baldwin [St. Tikhon's Seminary], and to our secretary David Mahand [Holy Trinity Seminary]," said Fr. Kilian.
As a final note upon leaving his office, Fr. Kilian reflected, "I'm thankful for the opportunity that organizing events for OISM gave me, in learning about and reaching out to seminarians across jurisdictional and geographical lines. So much of the work towards Orthodox unity, in my humble opinion, must take place on the level of each person's heart, and the face-to-face contact of brothers and sisters in Christ that OISM provides is one step in the direction of manifesting that unity.
"I'm also thankful," he continued, "that this year we welcomed the involvement of a new seminary in our organization, St. Sophia's Ukrainian Orthodox Seminary. We also were gratified in Fall 2010 by the first hosting in many years of an OISM meeting by Christ the Saviour Seminary in Johnston, Pennsylvania. At this, our Spring meeting, I was especially pleased to have the great gift of two brothers from St. Herman's able to make the transcontinental journey to fellowship with us.
"My closing impression at the end of the Spring 2011 meeting—the end of my presidential term—comes from the words of the Psalmist: 'Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity!' (Ps 133:1). My hope is that this delight and unity will continue into the next year of OISM, and throughout all our years, as we move out into ministry and strive to make that unity manifest in all that we do," he concluded.

Religious Sisters in South Africa Thank You for the Car for Their Work with Refugees
Thursday, June 19, 2014
Success Story
"Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for the great support you have given us in obtaining a vehicle that will help our community in our work for the migrants and refugees." So write the Missionary Sisters of Saint Charles Borromeo, who have been working since 1998 in Johannesburg, providing pastoral care for refugees and migrants. Since 2001 they have been running a home for refugee women and their children which they call "Bienvenu Shelter." This was an urgent necessity: until then the only shelters available were for native South African women and their children who were suffering from domestic violence and abuse.The refugee and migrant women were forced to sleep in parks, on railway stations, or even on the streets, where they were easy victims for criminals who roamed the suburbs, bringing violence and insecurity. As a result, these women, many of whom are already victims of violence and war in their own countries, have to endure yet more trauma. In their despair, many of these refugee women have also resorted to things they would never normally have done, such as selling their bodies for a little food for their children, for a place to sleep, or a little money. As a result, many are dangerously exposed to the risk of AIDS and other diseases. At the shelter run by the sisters they can at least find safe emergency accommodation and kind people who are willing to support them with help and advice.The Sisters urgently needed a vehicle for their work. Getting around Johannesburg using public transportation is very difficult and restricting, while travelling on foot is slow, and above all dangerous, since there are many violent robberies. One of their Sisters had already been robbed earlier.The Sisters appealed to ACN for help. Thanks to the generosity of our benefactors, we were able to provide them with the $13,500 they needed for a car. Now they can now get around much more quickly and easily, wherever their help is needed. They also promised us, "We include every single one of you in our daily prayers and we ask that God may bless you and your families."

ADA — Even if our flower beds aren't blooming yet, it's OK, because
the new businesses on Main Street are in full bloom. In the first few
months of 2014, three new businesses have filled the windows of Main
Street: Barbers On Main, The Artist Boutique on Main, and Main Street
BUKU Entertainment was founded by Main Street Live owner
Reginald Keller whose life in music began in Baltimore, Maryland in the
1990s. Back in those days, Keller was locating and managing
up-and-coming talent.
When asked what Main Street Live brings to
Ada, Keller said, "It brings needed live entertainment to Ada and gives
the students and the locals something to look forward to doing."
five years Keller envisions the Main Street Live stage filled with
national artists. He also wants to give new artists a platform of
support from which to launch their careers.
Barbers on Main was
opened in January by Seth Miehls. He was fresh out of barber school and
says opening the shop in Ada was a surprise that, "Just kind of fell
His mom is an Ada graduate and he has family in Ada, making it a good fit for him.
just a few months he has already gained a strong client base that is a
mix of community and college members. A cut and shave costs just $10 and
Miehls is experienced cutting all hair types. Be sure to stop in and
check out the restored back bar which was built in the late 1800s. The
shop has an old fashioned feel complete with a 1913 restored barber
chair. Miehls even offers straight razor shaves.
The Artist
Boutique on Main was founded by Deb Curlis and Jennifer McDougall and
opened just one month ago. The mother-daughter team knew that Ada needed
a shop like theirs because so many people make and sell unique items
but lacked the storefront location.
Curlis said, "I knew lots of
people who made things so I pulled everyone together and said, 'I know
this sounds crazy but let's give it a try'"
Everyone agreed to a
three month trial period and in just a few weeks the shop had enough
vendors to sustain itself. They now have 28 different unique handmade
vendors. The owners welcome new vendors and hope to expand into their
backroom someday.
The boutique will hold events lead by their
vendors. This week Ginger O'Connell held a jewelry making class.
O'Connell taught the group how to make drop earrings.
Barbers On Main, The Artist Boutique on Main and Main Street Live
provide very different services they all have one thing in common: they
love the town of Ada – students and locals - and are working hard to
bring new energy to Main Street.

Yes We Can: Obama Campaign Sued for Trademark Infringement by National Canning CenterAlex Toy
October 27, 2008
This AP Newswire article reports that the National Center for Home Food Preservation and Canning is suing the Obama campaign for using its trademarked slogan, "Yes, We Can." Although a former president of the DC trade association claims that the "slogan is known all over the country for just one thing: Canning," this case presents the issue of reverse confusion because Obama's junior use of the slogan is probably known nationwide, while most people probably have not even heard of the senior user's existence.
In evaluating a reverse confusion case, a court may consider: 1) the strength of the junior user's mark, 2) the intent of the junior user, and 3) the presence of a house mark. First, because of Obama's ubiquitous campaign ads and the non-stop political media coverage, a survey would likely show that the mark is very strong in connection with Obama. However, the respective services of canning and politics are so different that consumers are unlikely to confuse the sources of the slogan when in context. See Harlem Wizards. Second, it is highly doubtful that the Obama campaign intended to take advantage of any goodwill of the senior user because it was probably unaware of the trade association and because any possible goodwill would be de minimis and have nothing to do with politics. Third, Obama's well-known name used (in writing or orally) in connection with the slogan could serve as the equivalent of a house mark that would distinguish Obama's use from the trade association's use. See Vitarroz. A possible settlement could require Obama to always provide his name in connection with the slogan to distinguish his use.
Finally, it is unlikely that the trade association would suffer any significant harm from Obama's use because consumers would not think that the trade association (as the senior user) was trying to capitalize on Obama's goodwill because the canning industry and politics are completely unrelated. In addition, Obama uses the slogan in an inspirational sense, while the trade association uses it in a literal sense as a play on words. Therefore, a court should dismiss the suit against Obama's campaign or, at most, require the campaign to always explicitly use the slogan in connection with Obama's name.

When religions come together
In particular, we need to highlight where religions show respect for other communities and traditions, and have repudiated the extremist mindset. A notable example was last year's
Mme sac littéraire/sac à bandoulière portable/Sac multifonctions Vent CollègeC B
, rallying support throughout the Muslim world for the historical Charter of Medina, as a commitment to the values of citizenship and the civil rights of other religious communities.
Another example of inter-religious collaboration is the
Jack wolfskin sac en bandoulière belmore Marron moka
(KAICIID) established by Saudi Arabia, Spain and Austria, supported by the Holy See, on whose board of directors I am privileged to serve.
KAICIID has brought together major Muslim leaders from Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere in the Arab world, with heads of minority communities in those countries – Christian, Kurd, Yazidi, Druze – under the rubric "combating violence in the name of religion" . It has developed networks of collaboration throughout the region, training religious leaders in dialogue and social media skills.

Forget the new iphone and what it's going to look like. How long until the first un-tethered jailbreak will be out for it?!? That's the real question. I don't know about everyone else but i use more jailbreak apps then app store apps. Really the only stock apps i use is weather, calender, phone, and the music player. Rest are basically jailbroken paid for apps and tweaks few some app store games and couple apps. Phone is almost useless or child's play to me without jailbreak.
Hopefully it's that soon cuz I'm ready to jump on the sgs3.... BUT I will wait to see what the outcome is.

Prize Recipient
Alex Burger
My name is Alex Burger, and I am the son of a first-generation Colombian immigrant. I am inspired by my grandparents on my mothers side, who left everything they had in Colombia and immigrated here to provide their children with a better education and way of life. For the past eleven years I have lived in The Woodlands, Texas, and I am a recent graduate of The Academy of Science and Technology located at The Woodlands College Park High School. Next year, I will be attending Rice University in Houston and majoring in physics. I will also have a pre-medicine focus, as I hope to become an orthopedic surgeon in the future. I am choosing to major in physics because I am very interested in the subject, and I appreciate that physics emphasizes logic and problem solving skills rather than memorization. I believe that majoring in physics will help to discipline and train me in problem-solving, which will undoubtedly be a necessary skill in the field of medicine. Since physics was one of my favorite classes in high school, I am very enthusiastic about my decision to major in physics in college. I think that it will teach me to become a better thinker which will be beneficial to me throughout life.

Hampshire Hawks 240-8 (Greg Smith 3-49)
Notts Outlaws 244-9 (Fleming 102*)
Notts Outlaws won by one wicket
Fleming?s fifth hundred in all competitions dragged us over the finish line against Hampshire and Director of Cricket Mick Newell claimed the victory could prove crucial.
He said: ?We needed to close the gap on Hampshire and drag others into the relegation battle. We were never going to win if Fleming hadn?t batted through to the finish.
?It?s never easy to keep up with the run-rate when wickets are falling at the other end. He showed his qualities at the end and that win will be key in our battle to stay up.?
Newell was pleased with our performance in the field as we restricted the visitors to 240 in their 45 overs, with Greg Smith claiming three wickets.
But only Will Smith and Mark Ealham stuck around to help Fleming out, and the New Zealander?s two sixes late on kept us up with the target.
In the end, Hampshire?s slow bowling rate gave us the win, as the umpires awarded six penalty runs for not completing their overs in the allotted time.
Added Newell: ?We had some good periods with the ball and really held them up in the middle of their innings. There?s still plenty of areas to work on but we now have a base on which to build against Northants next weekend.?
We had more reason to celebrate at the break between innings when Chris Read received the totesport League Division One Player of the Month trophy for June.
Read collected the award for his matchwinning 68 not out against Lancashire Lightning, as well as hitting 45 against Middlesex Crusaders.
He maintained his form through the Twenty20 Cup and then completed his first hundred of the season in the Championship win over Glamorgan.

SAINT LEO, Fla. - In the wake of the fatal bus accident involving the Seton Hill University women's lacrosse team that claimed the life of head coach Kristie Quigley and her unborn child on March 16, the Saint Leo women's lacrosse team will join many college, high school and youth programs in 'Playing 4 Seton Hill'. The Lions will be collecting donations to benefit a scholarship fund set up for Quigley's young son, Gavin, at Thursday night's game against Shippensburg.
Quigley, 30, of Greensburg, died of her injuries at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. She was about six months pregnant, and her unborn son didn't survive. The bus driver, Anthony Guaetta, 61, of Johnstown, died at the scene. Quigley, who was in her second season with the Griffins, is survived by her husband, Glenn, and young son, Gavin.
The Lions will honor Quigley, the Griffin women's lacrosse program, and those affected by the tragedy, by incorporating Seton Hill's colors - crimson and gold – into their uniform during Thursday evening's game.
Fans are encouraged to join the team in their support and wear crimson and gold to the game.
Ribbons will be available to all in attendance, and a donation jar will be set up at the ticket table. In addition to any donations raised, proceeds from the ticket sales will also be donated to the scholarship fund.
Those who would like to make a contribution to the fund who cannot attend Thursday night's game, can donate directly to the Gavin Quigley scholarship fund here. The Play 4 Seton Hill cause can additionally be supported through both Facebook and Twitter (@Play4SHU).
Thursday's game will take place at University Turf Stadium. Game time between Saint Leo and Shippensburg is slated for 7 p.m.

Various fund managers have owned up to being a bit pathetic when it came to challenging powerful banking figures. They have been roundly castigated by the likes of Lord Myners and Hector Sants for their failure to act as responsible owners, and cannot expect to escape notice in Sir David Walker's review of corporate governance in the banking industry when that is published later this week.
No doubt they could and should have been a bit less accommodating of banks' plans for world domination, but in the end there is limit to the sanction they can apply. Passive trackers, which probably hold the biggest stakes, cannot threaten to sell, and active managers rarely hold large enough stakes to make selling much of an issue for a company.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. - SophomoreElizabeth Hitti scored off a penalty corner with no time remaining in Friday night's season-openinggame, propelling the University of Pennsylvania field hockey team to a dramatic, 5-4 win at Lehigh.
It seemed a fitting way to end a wildcontest that saw Penn take a 3-1 lead after giving up the first goal; give up two goals late in the first half for a 3-3 tie; then take the lead early in the second half before again surrendering a goal with less than four minutes to play.
Lehigh (0-3) got on the board first Friday night, as Caitlyn Mitchell scored on a hard shot from the top of the circle just nine minutes into the contest. Penn needed nearly eight minutes to equalize, before freshman Elise Tilton -- playing her first college game -- beat goalkeeper Julia Ward to the left corner of the cage. Emily Corcoran had an assist on the goal.
Julie Tahan finished a pass from Amelia Cohen off a penalty corner to make it 2-1 at the 20-minute mark, and then 10 minutes later Corcoran made it 3-1 when she scored on a rebound from another penalty corner. However, Lehigh drew level with a pair of goals just 1:02 apart before the halftime whistle. The first came from Matissa Glass, and the second one was scored by Mitchell with just 12 seconds remaining in the period.
Penn regained the lead eight minutes into the second stanze, as freshman Jasmine Cole finally converted among a string of shots by the Quakers. Hitti had an assist.
Lehigh made it 4-4 with 3:59 left in regulation, Gabby Tofig scoring with an assist going to Erin Ricker. However, that set the stage for Hitti's winner, with Sunny Stirewalt getting credit for an assist.
Penn outshot Lehigh, 24-12 -- Tahan andfellow captain Alex Iqbal led the way with five apiece --and forced Ward to make eight saves (with another defensive save thrown in). For Penn, Carly Sokach went the distance and made four stops.
Penn is off until next weekend, when the Quakers are at Saint Joseph's Friday and thenBucknell on Sunday.Friday's game will start at 3:30 p.m., while Sunday's tilt will start at 1 p.m. in Lewisburg.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/12/2012 (1694 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A tax watchdog says the province's continued failure to index personal income taxes for inflation will cost Manitobans millions of dollars in 2013.
Manitoba is one of only three provinces -- Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia are the others -- that allow for the phenomenon known as "bracket creep."
That's where the province takes more of your money by failing to adjust tax brackets for inflationary wage increases.
"The sad reality is Manitoba is still facing this secret form of taxation," said Colin Craig, a Prairie spokesman for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. "It's no secret that the average Joe has no idea it's going on."
Craig said Manitobans will still pay the province's highest rate of income tax (17.4 per cent) when their incomes reach $67,000 in 2013. That hasn't changed since 2009. In Saskatchewan, the highest provincial tax rate (15 per cent) won't kick in next year until incomes reach $122,589.
The basic personal exemption for 2013 in Manitoba is $8,884. In Saskatchewan, it's $15,241.
"The difference between Manitoba and Saskatchewan now is pretty stark," Craig said.
According to the taxpayers federation, bracket creep will cost Manitobans earning $45,000 an extra $11 in 2013. Those earning $80,000 a year will pay an extra $71. In a single year, the totals are tiny, but they add up over time. According to the taxpayers federation, the cumulative effect in the past decade for someone earning $45,000 is $160 a year in extra income tax. For someone earning $75,000, it's an additional $550 annually.
The Selinger government noted Thursday that basic tax exemptions will rise by $250 for Manitobans in 2013. The increase applies to the basic personal amount as well as the spousal amount for married and common-law couples and the eligible-dependant amount for single parents.
"With these increases, another 5,500 Manitobans will be removed from the tax rolls and the savings will total $19.1 million," cabinet press secretary Sally Housser said in an email.
Meanwhile, higher Canada Pension Plan and employment insurance rates will eat into paycheques across Canada, beginning Jan. 1.
Canadian workers earning $45,000 a year will pay an extra $84 in CPP and EI contributions, according to the taxpayers federation. Those earning at least $47,400 will contribute $891.12 in EI premiums in 2013, up $51.50. Employers will pay $1,247.57, an increase of $71.61.

Our general interest e-newsletter keeps you up to date on a wide variety of health topics.
In many cases, simple changes in your diet and lifestyle can provide relief from irritable bowel syndrome. Although your body may not respond immediately to these changes, your goal is to find long-term, not temporary, solutions:
Experiment with fiber. When you have irritable bowel syndrome, fiber can be a mixed blessing. Although it helps reduce constipation, it can also make gas and cramping worse. The best approach is to slowly increase the amount of fiber in your diet over a period of weeks. Examples of foods that contain fiber are whole grains, fruits, vegetables and beans. If your signs and symptoms remain the same or worse, tell your doctor. You may also want to talk to a dietitian.
Some people do better limiting dietary fiber and instead take a fiber supplement that causes less gas and bloating. If you take a fiber supplement, such as Metamucil or Citrucel, be sure to introduce it slowly and drink plenty of water every day to reduce gas, bloating and constipation. If you find that taking fiber helps your IBS, use it on a regular basis for best results.
Avoid problem foods. If certain foods make your signs and symptoms worse, don't eat them. These may include alcohol, chocolate, caffeinated beverages such as coffee and sodas, medications that contain caffeine, dairy products, and sugar-free sweeteners such as sorbitol or mannitol.
If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas.
Use anti-diarrheal medications and laxatives with caution. If you try over-the-counter anti-diarrheal medications, such as Imodium or Kaopectate, use the lowest dose that helps. Imodium may be helpful if taken 20 to 30 minutes before eating, especially if you know that the food planned for your meal is likely to cause diarrhea.
In the long run, these medications can cause problems if you don't use them correctly. The same is true of laxatives. If you have any questions about them, check with your doctor or pharmacist.

Box Score (PDF)
PHILADELPHIA - The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team put the clamps on Brown on Saturday night, limiting the Bears (8-12, 2-4 Ivy) to 29.8 percent shooting from the field in a 71-48 win at The Palestra. Miles Cartwright led Penn (5-17, 2-3 Ivy) with a career-high 28 points and tied for game-high honors with seven rebounds. He was joined in double figures by Tony Hicks, who had 15.
The night started slowly for the Quakers, who didn't score until three minutes had elapsed. A Cartwright three got Penn on the board and cut Brown's early lead to 4-3. Though both teams had their struggles on the offensive end in the first half, it seemed that the Bears were able to score on each possession following a Quaker basket. Penn was finally able to string together a four-point swing after two free throws from Dau Jok and an easy look in the paint for Greg Louis off a nice assist from Camryn Crocker to tie the game at 20-20.
Brown was still out in front, 25-23, with less than two minutes until the break when Cartwright was able to turn the tide in Penn's favor. After Cameron Gunter swooped in and pulled down a defensive rebound, the Quakers called timeout to set up some offense for late in the half. Moments later, Cartwright tied the game, beating three Brown defenders to the rim to make it 25-25. After the Bears used their first timeout of the game, Cartwright intercepted the ensuing inbounds pass and went coast-to-coast while being fouled, hitting the free throw to stake the Red and Blue to a 28-25 lead at the break.
Penn's lead was down to two points twice in the early going of the second half until Cartwright provided 3-point bookends to a pair of free throws from Hicks to give the Quakers their first double-digit lead of the contest, 40-30. After a timeout, Brown came back with a 6-0 run to cut the lead down to four, but that proved to be as close as the visitors would get on the evening. Three-pointers from Lucas-Perry and Jok were part of a 9-0 run that put Penn out in front, 49-36, with less than 11 minutes remaining.
Sean McGonagill ended a brief 7-0 run from Penn by going high off the glass, cutting the Quakers' lead to 56-40 with 8:18 to play. However that turned out to be Brown's final made field goal for nearly seven full minutes. By that time, Penn led 65-48 with just 90 seconds remaining. Six straight free throws down the stretch from Cartwright and Hicks provided the final margin.
Cartwright's 28-point night was his sixth 20-point game of the season. He added a game-high five assists on the night. Jok and Lucas-Perry each scored eight, while Jok was a force down low with six rebounds. Gunter tied career highs in the game with three rebounds and a pair of blocks.
Matt Sullivan spearheaded the Brown attack with 15 points and five boards. Cedric Kuakumensah tied a Brown single-game record with seven blocks. As a team, the Bears went just 2-of-18 (.111) from beyond the arc while the Quakers knocked down 9-of-15 (.600) from deep.
Penn begins a four-game road swing next weekend, traveling to face Harvard on Friday and Dartmouth on Saturday. Each tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

It happened at last. The skies here were overcast again and looked like it was going to pour down again, but I did a quick meal and it came out great . Had a couple of 1" thick N.Y. strip's that I massaged w / fresh garlic, a little olive oil, and some freshly ground pepper. Put a handful of soaked mesquite chip's in the smoker box and cranked her up on high til it reached 550 deg. and was smoking good, put the steak's on then turned down to med. Cooked the steak's on the oblique for 2 min. w/ hood closed, rotated steak's 90 deg., cooked for 2 more min.. Flipped them over and repeated on other side. Came out a perfect med. rare w / nice diamond pattern grill mark's.
On the side burner, I fixed some zucinni (sp) and red onion, sautee`d in olive with a ton of fresh garlic (oh yeah, I like garlic), fresh ground black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, kosher salt & tossed with freshly grated peccarino - romano cheese when it came off the heat. Acompanied with a salad of spring greens w/ homemade balsamic vinigarette, garlic bread toasted on the " D " and a glass of merlot. I think I'm in love again .
Dang, anybody notice the price of steak's lately, guess it might be because of fuel cost's, but they're sure going up, at least around here anyway.
Thank's for listening. YB2

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/1/2013 (1670 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Tragic combination
The reports on the Phoenix Sinclair inquiry have been extremely difficult to read -- and no doubt, they are also difficult to write. The child-welfare system is on trial, and it is clear there were many mistakes made regarding this little girl, and the combination was tragic.
While in hindsight it is obvious Phoenix should have been in care, at the time of her death she wasn't. The people who killed her were her family, not the social services workers.
Some of the reporting and commenting would lead one to believe otherwise. When a reporter or columnist makes a mistake, no one dies. It takes a lot of courage and caring to work in child welfare. Systems can certainly be improved, and it appears that some progress has been made since Phoenix's death. The system will never be perfect, but to vilify these workers is just wrong.
The Phoenix Sinclair inquiry is supposed to be about seeking the truth and about how and why poor little Phoenix died so it may never happen again.
After following this story, I have come to the conclusion that nobody gave a damn about her. Her family tortured and murdered her, while Child and Family Services employees might as well have cheered them on.
Almost everyone involved is totally devoid of empathy, and this speaks of the graceless times we live in. Quite frankly, Phoenix is lucky not to be alive because the system would have only prolonged the nightmare this innocent child was living.
I am appalled at what I'm hearing from all the child-care workers who let poor little Phoenix slip through the cracks. Just once I'd like to see at least one worker get up there and say, "Yes, we dropped the ball and we are so sorry, little Phoenix, for not being there for you."
My heart breaks for what that poor baby went through, and if anything good can come out of this, it's that it stirs me to become a foster parent in the hopes of giving neglected and abused children a place of safety for as long as is needed.
An effective genius
Re: Meet the next great pianist (Jan. 19). Gwenda's Nemerofsky's description of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's Masterworks concert performance goes beyond journalism and into art, especially the part of her review that deals with the young master of the piano, Nobuyuki Tsujii. I saw, through her words, his hands moving at such lightning speed that I was left breathless for a second time.
However, there is a point of clarification that I think needs to be made. Nemerofsky writes: "He was led on to the stage by conductor Alexander Mickelthwate because he has been blind since he was born, but that was the extent that his disability affected his performance and ability to captivate an audience."
I and a number of other of the supporters of the Arts and Disability Network Manitoba believe that artists such as Nobu are not "affected" by their disability but in most cases are "effected" by the limitation they may have. To a large measure Nobu's genius at the keyboard may be because he has to rely on his acute sense of sound rather than be distracted by sight, motion and lighting.
Denying responsibility
Once again, there is whining from a driver who was given a ticket for going through a red light. Once again, there is denial of responsibility for this act. Fortunately, in this case, there was no collision, and nobody was killed or maimed.
I was intrigued by Moses Falco's version of what constitutes "a split-second decision" (Letters, Jan. 22), and why he feels that going through a red light has any relevance to being ambushed in a speed trap. I rather tend to believe it was a case of poor judgment, supplemented by a complete denial of responsibility. It's never your fault. Blame inanimate objects for your shortcomings.
Driving at 80 kilometres per hour translates to 73.3 feet per second. A yellow light has a four-second span. At that rate, the vehicle in question was more than 293 feet from the intersection when the light turned from green to yellow. That is just slightly less than the length of a football field. Even at a reduced speed of 50 km/h (to allow for the snowfall and the slippery conditions of the road), the vehicle would have been more than 183 feet from the intersection when the light turned from green to yellow. His decision to run the light was made at the exact time that the light changed from green to yellow, almost a football field from the intersection. Driving in excess of 80 km/h during a snowstorm could be interpreted as attempted suicide.
I would suggest that if a driver cannot stop his vehicle safely in a distance between 183 feet and 293 feet, he should reconsider his decision to drive in Winnipeg during the winter. Perhaps public transportation would be more suitable. At worst, it would have saved him over $200.
Reading your Jan. 19 story Ambushing drivers in speed traps must stop struck a nerve with me. I drive to work and see people running red lights at speed almost daily.
Red light cameras, in my experience, don't seem to do what they are advertised to do: discourage scofflaws from blowing through reds. When I was learning to drive, my instructor instilled in me a habit that has definitely saved me from injury or death: always check to see if cross traffic is stopping for the red light before proceeding into the intersection.
I also think that roadside speed traps are useless in discouraging speeding, since people soon learn where they are and speed up again after passing them.
On my daily commute to work, I am amazed at the reckless behaviour of some of my fellow motorists, and believe the money invested in roadside speed traps would be better spent in more unmarked patrol cars.

Other designers are welcome to plunder Yves Saint Laurent's collections of the seventies for inspiration, but Ralph Lauren has his own archives to plunge into, thank you very much. And, as well all know, it's a very rich vein to mine indeed. Updating his iconic look from the era, this season Lauren do-si-doed with a very Ralph, very American muse—the cowgirl—putting together a collection that was full of prairie romance. He began with fringed leathers, in whipstitched jackets or flared pants, done in a palette of the high plains—bone, ivory, and tawny brown suede. But he quickly, and wisely, moved into more urbane territory. Bringing a feminine delicacy to the fore, he showed beautifully lacy Victorian blouses with tailored pants or linen cuffed shorts. Out came pretty hand-crocheted dresses that would have turned heads in Dodge and plenty of looks that would work just as well—stripped of their overt Wild West styling—right here in the big city.
In the end, there wasn't too much rooting-and-tooting going on. Lauren's had plenty of practice wrangling these kinds of themes, after all. As he knows, once the show's over, his devoted clients may not go for those big-as-Texas steer's-head belt buckles, but they still need good jackets, and he showed these by the droves. The best, subtly tailored in linen, some with a just-puffed sleeve, looked perfectly timeless, like all the best Ralph Lauren.

Dickey allows three homers as bats remain grounded
Knuckleballer surrenders leadoff shot, crucial two-out slam to Ackley
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays opened the season with grand expectations for a season that was surely to be the best that the city has seen since the heralded championship seasons 20 years ago.
Part of those heightened beliefs were due to the addition of the National League Cy Young Award winner, R.A. Dickey. But Dickey, like his team, has struggled, and Saturday was no different.
Dickey, the 38-year-old knuckleballer, gave up seven runs in six innings as the Blue Jays lost their fourth straight game, 8-1, to the Mariners Saturday at Rogers Centre, adding to the strain that has become a trying start to the year.
"We're all pretty beat up mentally right now, but you've got to get through that," manager John Gibbons said. "Coming into the season with great expectations, I got to say we haven't handled that well. But I don't think there's a magic bullet [to solve everything]."
With the loss, the Blue Jays have dropped eight of their past nine games, falling further down the American League East standings. Their 10-21 mark is the second-worst record to begin a season in Blue Jays history, eclipsed only by the 1979 team -- the franchise's third year in existence -- which started 8-23.
"It's a dark time right now," Dickey said after the game. "But there's hope. We're going to figure it out."
"The game of baseball is cruel, it is. It doesn't let you up," Gibbons said. "As tough as it is to come back that next day, you have to do it. When you're in a rut, you've got to do it. And only the strong survive. That's not just baseball, that's life, everything. You find out what you're made of, you really do."
Every time the Blue Jays dust themselves off and prepare after another poor outing, they seem to find a way to dig themselves a new hole. Saturday was no exception.
It took only two pitches against the Mariners for Toronto to fall behind.
Dickey threw back-to-back 80-plus-mph fastballs to start the game, with Seattle outfielder Michael Saunders smacking the second one into the Mariners' bullpen for the early lead.
Saunders' leadoff blast was the second of his career, and was only his third homer of the season, but Dickey's trouble with the long ball didn't end there.
Dickey settled down, retiring the next 10 batters before finding trouble in the fourth. The Mariners loaded the bases on a pair of walks and a single, before second baseman Dustin Ackley hit a full-count knuckleball over the fence in right field for a grand slam, making it 5-0.
"That's one of the curses about throwing a pitch like I do -- if you leave it up, sometimes it's going to get hit out of the park. … It just came at some crucial times today," said Dickey, who surrendered three home runs for the first time since Aug 15. against Cincinnati. "Especially that 3-2 one to Ackley… that singular pitch put us in a hole, big time."
The five-run deficit was far too much for the Blue Jays' offense to overcome, especially against Seattle righty Hisashi Iwakuma.
Iwakuma, who holds the best ERA in the American League since last year's All-Star break, tossed seven innings of one-run ball, allowing only five hits and three walks, while striking out five.
"He has been so consistent for us this year, and again he was today," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "Iwakuma has been pitching about as good as you can ask a starting pitcher up here to pitch."
The Blue Jays' lone run came on a sacrifice fly to center field from Munenori Kawasaki that scored Rajai Davis in the seventh inning. That run ended a streak of 23 straight scoreless innings by Toronto, which sent 93 batters to the plate in between runs.
In the first, the Blue Jays had a glorious chance to stop their scoreless ways. Toronto loaded the bases with one out, but failed to capitalize on their chances as both Colby Rasmus and Davis struck out.
"[Because of] what we're going through, it's magnified," Gibbons said.
The good news for the Blue Jays is the fact that Dickey's bothersome upper right back wasn't an issue in Saturday's outing.
"I'm taking that as a positive out of the day today. I felt much better than I have in the past," Dickey said.
However, even a cooperating back didn't stop the knuckleballer from hearing the boos that rained down on the club in the middle innings.
"I did hear them. It was hard not to, I mean, they were pretty animated," Dickey said. "And you can't blame them, we've played well below our expectations. We're booing ourselves.
"I think we're somewhat of a dysfunctional team right now," Dickey said. "We're searching for a way to score runs, a way to pitch well. We're doing a lot of things poorly, myself included. I don't know if it's a long slump or we're playing like a bad team right now. ... Certainly, with the names in this locker room, we're capable of much more."

Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2013
The moment of surprise—shock, even—at the opening of Ann Demeulemeester's starkly dramatic show wasn't about what was there, but what wasn't. And that, specifically, would be the absence of any kind of leg covering (at first, at least). None of her brilliantly cut masculine trousers, a lifetime's work to feminize them with an expertly wrought slouchiness; her spiraling skirts that tumble and twist to the floor; or boyish pants, scissored to finish above the ankle, all the better to amplify the lines of a heartbreakingly romantic poet's frock coat. (More on the likes of those and their eventual appearance in her show later.) No, that double take was provided by long, tawny, naked limbs appearing from beneath the highly abbreviated hem of a black dress, with a cleric-like rigor to it, waisted by a strict black leather corset belt lined with metal rings, while the sleeves trailing long and medieval in the dress's wake, all this worn with black ankle boots with a high geometric sculpted wedge; monastic, but with a fetish for modern-day urbanity.
At this point, one should leap in to clear something up about the shortness. This wasn't Demeulemeester trying to be sexy. (Although it kind of looked it, and that's meant as a compliment.) Or about her lending her voice to the chorus calling for a return to the sixties; nothing so obvious or clichéd from a designer whose instincts are always expressed in ways highly sensitive to women and in ways denuded of so many of the "inspirations" and "references" that others have recourse to. This was simply her responding to the overriding interest in next spring's minimalistic linearity—and what better way than with an uninterrupted expanse of leg?
That was the opening shot for an incisively sharp collection that featured plenty of looks, based around jackets most often, with minuscule hemlines: strong-shouldered numbers with more of those goth-Guinevere sleeves; tiny shorts worn with tailoring slashed up the back; or soft, collapsing, coat-style pieces worn one atop the other. Gradually, Demeulemeester created powerful contrasts by dropping everything to the floor, which took her into more familiar territory, including sinuous, super-long dresses, blocked in black and white, and always with a train, or those fluid, wide trousers so immediately identifiable as hers, or a trio of beautifully flowing evening dresses—white, cream, pearl gray—whose open backs revealed a matching underdress and perhaps a graphic metal chain detail glinting subtly from behind. All of this caught the prevailing direction of spring, undoubtedly, but it also never strayed for one second from Demeulemeester's own alluring and intriguing voice.

The Crap We Missed – Friday 8.15.14
Well, it's Friday already and time for another The Crap We Missed, the daily post I put together that's full of boobs, butts, "accidentally" naked boobs, boobs, butts and John Travolta wearing lipstick while Fish and I debate all day on whether the conversation about the use of a militarized police force is really overshadowing the socioeconomic factors that lead up to a Ferguson, Mo type event from even happening in the first place.
These issues are inseparable and hold tremendous bearing on the direction our swiftly dividing nation is headed. The important thing is to keep having these conversations in a logical, rational manner, with all sides using open minds to set aside the long-held beliefs, discrimination, and paranoia that ultimately lead to such vitriolic responses as looting and/or firing tear gas into peaceful protests. Blame and finger-pointing will lead to nothing but defensive backlash regardless of what stance is taken. The only way to effectively move forward as a society is collective acceptance that we're still doing a terrible job with this whole "liberty and justice for all" thing and that maybe some new approaches need consideration.
Just thought you should know what goes on in this tit blogger's monkey-boy assistant's mind until it interrupts with "Is that front-butt? Oh yeah, that's front-butt, that's totally going in."

Maybelline New York ExpertWear Eye Shadow 8 Pan Reviews
Good, Basic ShadowsThese don't seem to have as much pigment as their "Sultry Smokes" quads or Color Tattoo, but I have this eight-pan tray in fall shadows which do apply very well, blend beautifully, and last a very long time, especially over a good primer. The finishes in the palette range from matte to shimmer, and there are some shades which are absolutely and truly gorgeous--like a gently gleaming copper and a luxe emerald green. This is a good value. — 4 years, 3 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Great for travelI took this with me when travelling around Europe for three months as I only could travel with one bag. I found that I tended to use only one or two colors in the palette, but that it was nice to have options. The wear on these shadows doesn't seem to be as long lasting as their quads. I also found that some of the lighter colors were chalky and less pigmented.

I found the color pay off to be good, but I found out that instead of using a brush, these colors can be a bit chalky, using a clean finger to pat on these shadows make less of a mess. This was even more convenient because I didn't have to take an eye shadow brush with me and it saved me a lot of time!!! I could also fit this pallet into my makeup case which was great because I was able to apply it through out my day of sweating and such. I do find the lighter shades to be good high lighters for the face rather than colors on my eyelid so I felt like I didn't have to bring a bronzer or high lighter, which was awesome again. I think this is also a good sample pallet to find out which netural color is your favorite!! Some colors are a bit harder to use, such as the green, well for me I felt like the green was very dark so I applied it close to my lash line so it would look sort of like a liner. I don't care for the little sponge applicators neither, but this is a great, cheap, intro to make up pallet, that is also really convenient for traveling.

Recently I have been seeing reports of stalled / failed processes, both short-lived and long-lived. It turns out that in some cases, the process developers were updating processes on their live systems without taking due precautions. The following post is to explain what is actually happening under the hood, and why you can't simply "hot change" a process.
A simple process
Imagine you have a process called MyNotify with two steps in it: a first task (not start point) AssignUser, and a second task SendEmail. Pretty straight forward.
You have deployed this process, and process instances are merrily being kicked off. Great. Now you realize that you don't want the AssignUser task; rather, you want a Workspace Start Point. Remove the AssignUser task, configure the Workspace Start Point to open the same form as you had in the now deletd AssignUser task. Save and deploy.
You may now start getting calls from your users saying their form submission never resulted in an email. Upon investigating, you will likely find errors saying that "Job ID could not be found for Job […]".
Oh no. What happened?
Tasks not found
Let's wind back to where there were two steps. When a process instance is kicked off, what happens is that an entry in the database is made saying that process MyNotify has been kicked off by user "Alice" (for example), and it has been assigned to Alice, in the AssignUser task.
When Alice submits the form, LiveCycle goes to its database and checks the process – Alice just submitted the AssignUser step, so it checks MyNotify for an AssignUser step, and figures out what to do next from that.
If you have deleted the AssignUser task from MyNotify, LiveCycle will be unable to determine what to do next – and stall the process instance. Future instances should work fine (they are before the change point), anything that was at the SendEmail point in the process will be fine as well (they are after the change point). It is specifically process instances that are in a state that could be affected by the change that risk failure, and that will happen without possibility of roll-back or recuperation (bar performing some incantations in the database to recuperate the data, and then constructing some half-processes to mimick pre-change parts of the changed process, in the hope of pushing the data onwards — a lot of avoidable hassle, itself prone to failure).
Staying safe
It is understandable that you may think that if the process were modified, already-running processes would continue with the older version. This is not so, or at least, not in this scenario.
When kicking off a new process instance, LiveCycle does not automatically make a copy of the process to be followed should a new edit of the process come into existence. Maintaining a copy of all the configurations of a process for each instance created would cause extremely severe performance issues on the server, so a more de-coupled implementation serves best. The work of ensuring that a new copy of the process configuration is created is left up to the process developer.
Once a process is deployed, there are only two "safe" ways of updating the process.
Application Version
The first is to create a new Application version, and when all the new changes are made, deploy the new version.
- All old instances will continue their course in the old version.
- Workspace processes will kick off in the new version
- Calls to the old version of the process will still call the old version
Once you have ascertained for sure that NO more processes from the old version are running, and that no applications rely on the old version, you can safely undeploy it from runtime, and delete it if you so wish.
When will references point to the new version automatically?
Having done this, all references to sub-processes inside the same application will be updated, as will all resources referenced relatively inside the application. For example, MyApplication/1.0/ProcessA can reference /FormA (in Assign User tasks for example) which means "the current application's version's FormA". A sub-process on the process-workflow convas will be referenced relatively if the sub-process is contained inside the same application.
When do you need to update references manually?
Take special heed however — processes and resources that do not reside in the same Application do not see their references updated — they are absolutely referenced. If MyApplication/1.0/ProcessA is upgraded, it will not change the references to, for example, OtherApplication/1.0/OtherProcess. Similarly, if we upgrade to OtherApplication/2.0/OtherProcess, then MyApplication/1.0/ProcessA will still point to OtherApplication/1.0/OtherProcess.
Finally, note that if you create a new version of an application, all resources and processes are copied over with it with new version numbers too, and any textual references to other resources remain the same. So if MyNotify/1.0/ProcessA has a variable referencing MyNotify/1.0/FormA, then MyNotify/2.0/ProcessA will also reference MyNotify/1.0/FormA ; the same goes for resources uch as XDPs, XSLTs, and any other resources stored in an Application. The reason for this is that these references are stored as "strings" (pieces of text) and Workbench cannot, upon creating a new version, differentiate what snippets of text all through the Application are versions to update, what versions should not be updated, and what strings do not actually contain versions at all.
Down time (clean "brute force" update)
The other way is to plan downtime.
- Prevent people from kicking off new processes
- Let all processes complete
- … and only then deploy the new edit of the process
You could choose the second method to avoid having to update references to resources, but it would defeat the purpose of having this versioning at all and does, unavoidably, incur the overhead of a downtime.

(Excerpt from Harun Yahya's live interview dated 28 January 2011)
"My Lord, make my entry sincere and make my leaving sincere and grant me supporting authority direct from Your Presence." (Surat al-Isra', 80)
If one adopts that state of soul then a very intense excitement develops. One may even lose one's conscious mind because a kind of stupor results. People start talking in the 3rd person. Their speech is irrational. They will talk like people in a dream. They will lose possession of themselves because they will have passed to another dimension. So they will be terrified. It would be wrong to pass over to such a state without a spiritual guide. But those who enter that state of spirit (yakaza), they more or less enter into that system. For example, when revelation came to our Prophet (saas) he attained a spiritual identity. In other words, he ceased being a physical entity and became a spiritual one. He became like a spirit. As if he had passed into another dimension. After that, Gabriel (pbuh) made contact with our Prophet (saas). Our Prophet (saas) saw Gabriel (pbuh) but other human beings could not see what he saw because he was in another dimension. Gabriel (pbuh) revealed the verse at length. Our Prophet (saas) memorized it easily, but human beings could not hear it. The Companions just say there was a sound like the buzzing of bees. "And a huge stupor came down on us all" they say. They covered our Prophet (saas) with a cloth. Our Prophet (saas) appeared to be under the effect of that pressure. When Gabriel (pbuh) came to our Prophet (saas) when he was on a camel, even that animal was unable to resist and collapsed. That happened before the Companions' eyes. And a buzzing sound. An indescribable buzzing. Like the kind of buzzing one hears in one's head. Like the buzzing of bees. That buzzing ceased once the revelation had ended. And that great stupor. They lifted the cloth from the Prophet (saas). Our Prophet (saas) usually became very pale when revelation came. Then he recovered completely. Then our Prophet (saas) began reciting those immaculate verses of the Qur'an from memory to the people there. And they recorded them.2011-04-16 09:38:58

Five reasons for employers to love remote workFriday, March 11th, 2011
We've talked about the benefits of being a home worker before. But what about the benefits as an employer?
1. No heating bill
In these times of soaring oil prices ($110 a barrel), offices literally burn money. At least they do if you want people to actually turn up and work in them. The charm of a freezing office is distinctly limited.
The heating bill of any mid to large organisation is a significant line item. Any reduction would be nice.
One way is definitely to encourage staff to work from home from time to time. Generally speaking, staff are happy enough with this that they won't claim heating costs back on expenses. As each seat in your office spends more time each year working at home, such savings can add up.
2. No office equipment bill
Hiring new staff is expensive at the best of times. The whole search and selection process costs soon mount up. And once you've hired – your costs have only just begun. High up on the agenda will be ensuring dull-but-essential items like desks, chairs, lights are made available.
Home working staff will already have a place to work. It will already have these kinds of items in, representing a big capital saving.
3. No tea and coffee bill
Perhaps it's just me and *my* tea and coffee bill – but trust me; it adds up …
4. No sickness epidemics
'Oh No – John's got the flu!'
Dreaded words. In the bacteria-harbouring confines of the office, when one goes down, we all go down.
Home workers have their own built-in isolation ward from each other, limiting the spread of the dreaded 'office lurg'.
5. No cleaning
At least you as an employer don't have to organise it!
