Almost exactly a year ago, the Wall Street Journal warned that "U.S. Signals More Scrutiny of Mergers, Antitrust". Just as President Obama had promised in his campaign, antitrust merger review was going to be a lot different from what we'd seen during the Bush Administration: The DOJ Antitrust Division and the FTC wouldn't waste any time showing that there was a new cop on the beat. Except things haven't quite worked out that way--not yet, anyway. The agencies have been busy: DOJ has continued its highly successful criminal prosecutions of price fixing and other hard-core antitrust violations, while the FTC has brought an ambitious case against Intel and is still pursuing longstanding agenda items like its campaign against some pharmaceutical patent infringement settlements.
When it comes to mergers though, does anything stand out? Ticketmaster-LiveNation was a pretty interesting deal, but you wouldn't know it from the DOJ's case. Instead of the provocative vertical (e.g., manufacturer and input supplier) issues that people have been anticipating from the new administration, the case focused on issues peripheral to the deal's potent combination of "the dominant primary ticketing service provider in the United States" and "the country's largest concert promoter." Nor have we seen much interesting merger work from the FTC lately.
Of course, a key reason for this is that firms like yours just aren't doing deals these days like they used to. Hart-Scott-Rodino premerger filings at the U.S. agencies dropped to about 700 in fiscal 2009, less than a third of the number just two years before. To their credit, the agencies haven't sat idly by waiting for the recession to end. What they've come up with though, it almost makes you wish they had. One FTC Commissioner has enthused that this lets the agency go after cases under FTC Act Section 5, which prohibits "unfair" conduct. More on that development in a later column. And the decline in new, competitively significant deals has led both FTC and DOJ to look for cases that they would not have even bothered with a few years ago: among consummated deals that are so small that they did not even have to be reported under HSR.
In the past couple of years, rummaging through the deal attic has yielded a handful of consummated, unreviewed deals that the agencies thought were worth undoing. In 2007, the DOJ went after a 2004 merger between the two daily newspapers in Charleston, W.Va. At the end of 2008, the FTC sued to undo Ovation Pharmaceuticals' January 2006 acquisition of what the agency called the only drug that competed with a product of Ovation's. (The complaint said only that the transaction did not reach the relevant HSR threshold, suggesting that the transaction's value fell below $53.1 million.) Earlier this year, DOJ challenged Dean Foods' $35 million acquisition of a rival dairy's business. And just last week, the FTC sued over Dun & Bradstreet's $29 million acquisition of its primary competitor in the provision of marketing data relating to kindergarten through twelfth-grade schools and educators.
Each of these four cases is still pending (there's a proposed consent decree before the court in the Charleston case), so it's unwise to try to draw any final lessons from them just yet. But each of them has the look of low-hanging fruit, especially in the eyes of a case-hungry agency. Each combined what the suing agency portrayed as the two leading players in the market; in fact, three of the cases involved what the agencies were able to describe as a "two-to-one" merger--a merger to monopoly. In both Dean Foods and Dun and Bradstreet, the complaints could only predict future harm, despite roughly a year-long post-merger track record. FTC evidently had more to work with in Ovation: it alleged that after buying the rival drug, Ovation promptly raised its price nearly 1,300 percent. Facts like these, even if they ultimately don't pan out at trial, will get an agency's attention every time. And even if the agencies lose, if the parties have to spend millions to prevail, the legal costs can overwhelm the upside of a $30 million deal pretty quickly.
Moreover, we're in a time where these facts are accessible to the agencies with an ease and immediacy that were unthinkable 10 years ago. With any number of publications like The Deal broadcasting details of transactions as they happen, even a busy prosecutor can keep an eye on deals that would never have even been noticed in the late 1990s. And as long as the drought in significant new deals persists, the agencies will have time and resources to bring to bear on small deals new and old. This means that you can't count on potentially troublesome deals avoiding scrutiny the way they may have in the past, when deal flow kept the agencies' pipeline full of deals worth examining, if not challenging. So if, after you've looked at a potentially problematic antitrust issue, the best thing you can say about a deal is that no one's likely to notice, that may be a sign that it's time to think some more about it, and to make a clear-eyed assessment of your taste for risk.
And try not to raise your prices 1,300 percent.

She has accused me of beating her with a stick whereas she has just got a scratch. Now you tell me is it possible that if I hit her with a stick, she gets only scratched," the 63-year-old said.
Om Puri alleged that his wife is very demanding and insists on going on foreign trips every year, something which is tough for a character actor to afford.
"She insists on going on international holidays annually. I am a middle-class man and a character artist. I am not Shah Rukh Khan that I will have so much money," he said.
The actor will be going to the court Wednesday with his lawyer.
Om Puri's wife Nandita lodged a complaint against him August 23 at the Versova Police station.
An alumnus of the National School of Drama and the Film and Television Institute of India, Om Puri carved a niche for himself with films like 'Aakrosh' and 'Ardh Satya'. He also entertained viewers with his comic timing in 'Hera Pheri'.
This is not the first time Nandita and Om Puri are facing problem. In 2009, when Nandita came out with a biography on her husband titled 'Unlikely Hero: The Story Of Om Puri' highlighting some of his most private sexual incidents, it had upset the Padma Shri winner.

From what I read in the OCA Statutes, MC members are elected at Diocesan Assemblies, not at gatherings of clergy. While the good people of Alaska are entitled to representation on the MC, it is to no one's benefit that the rules are treated in such a cavalier manner. It only gives the Nikolais & BTs more to rant and rave about, while showing the OCA up as a minor league operation. But then again, the Statutes were ignored in the past, why not now? Maybe the second order of business at the Pittsburgh AAC (after accepting +MH's resignation) should be to write new bylaws.

Everyone should be praying today!
Pray to our most compassionate and sweetest Lord Jesus Christ for His mercy and aid to our Synod and Church,
And to His most blessed Mother the Theotokos, asking for her protection and intercession,
and to the Holy Apostles & St. Nicholas of Myra - (the Thursday commemoration, never more appropriate);
and to St. Herman, Saint Innocent, Saint Jacob, Saint Peter, Saint Tikhon, Saint Raphael, Saint Nikolai Velimirovich, St. John of Shanghai, and the new hieromartyr of Russia Seraphim of Uglich, (whom I believe served in Alaska before the revolution), St. John of Kronstadt (who as a youth dreamt of being a missionary in America).
Pray for the repose of the ever memorable:
Metropolitan Leonty and Matushka Olga of AK,
Protopresbyter Alexander Schmemann, Protopresbyter John Meyendorff;
Archpriest Peter Kreta, Father Andrew Kashevarof, who labored in AK;
and Archpriest Vladimir Borichevsky & Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose), (blessed men and authors of services to St. Herman),
That all these may be given grace to intercede for us, if it pleases God.
At last brothers and sisters, we must pray and believe,
& love one another and confess our faith in God.

We can only hope that today, March 27th, will be the end of the long "Alaskan Night(mare)" for the saints of Alaska. These wonderful people have been victimized too long by the bad decisions of the old administration in Syosset - along with the rest of the OCA. A new beginning is upon us; the light of Christ is shinning and the darkness is overcome!

Mr. Stokoe,
Yes, I was present for the first part of the clergy meeting that took place on Tuesday, March 25, at St. Innocent Cathedral. Members of the St. Innocent Sisterhood decided that despite the painful nature of the meeting it was important to provide hospitality to the visiting clergy and we prepared an array of baked goods for this gathering.
From the very beginning, as priests gathered from throughout the Diocese in the Church Hall, I was enveloped by sorrow. I know many of these priests personally and continue to feel a deep affection for them despite any disappointment. I greeted each of those I know personally asking for their blessing, meanwhile recalling more joyous times when we had gathered together during retreats and assemblies. Some of the younger ones I knew from their days at St. Herman Seminary when I traveled there for Trustee meetings or to work in the Archives.
I couldnt help but be reminded that many had received their training and education at St. Herman Seminary thanks to a bold policy established by His Grace Bishop Nikolai early in his administration. He recognized that these men who would later serve in rural Alaska could not manage the financial burden of paying off a student loan. Consequently, he decided that those committed to staying and serving in Alaska would graduate debt-free. To accomplish this, fundraising was a constant effort. Bishop Nikolai often called on the generosity of his personal friends who responded willingly.
My love for these priests is not diminished. I am only deeply disappointed in the manner in which all this has unfolded. I am emotionally exhausted, but not spiritually. The Church, particularly during this Lenten season, provides us with spiritual nourishment.
Fr. Alexander Garklavs kindly acknowledged my desire to speak at the meeting and I kept my remarks brief. Again, I recalled Christs words in the Gospel of Matthew (18:15). Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you an him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
In light of this Scriptural passage, I suggested that Bishop Nikolai be invited to the assembly to hear their concerns. I also noted that our Lord lifts up the peacemakersBlessed are the Peacemakers for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. But, my suggestion was rebuffed, I believe by Fr. Michael Oleksa who commented something to the effect that we had passed beyond that stage. Christ provides no exemptions in this clearly stated passage. He does not suggest that this only pertains to simple scenarios, to facile infractions or that it is ever too late. With the greater part of the clergy in attendance, they had strength in number. What could they fear, and how much could have been gained? Bishop Nikolai could have listened to them, could have offered explanations, sought forgiveness had they conceded to this request. They could have all reached that noble peace that only forgiveness provides. I am certain that healing, growth and commitment could have occurred. Unfortunately, these could haves lack merit in reality.
When Bishop Nikolai learned several weeks ago that there were letters from clergy dissatisfied with him, he immediately arranged for a two-day meeting in Anchorage to address the concerns. Sadly, only about half the Dioceses clergy attended. He invited an experienced consultant to listen to and mediate the concerns. Bishop Nikolai did not attend the first day session as he recognized that the clergy needed an opportunity to speak forthrightly in his absence. The second day they met with Bishop Nikolai. I was not present at these meetings, but understand that healing and forgiveness occurred. The meeting had focus and directionit was based on Scriptural accountability.
Had the meeting on Tuesday followed a similar format, I firmly believe progress would have occurred. Christ provides the formula in Matthew 18:15 without any embellishment or exemptions, but it was ignored.
I recognize that there are those who have complaints about Bishop Nikolais administrative style or his personality. But he has been lopsidedly characterized on this site and elsewhere. Speaking with a friend today, she noted that those of us who know and work with Bishop Nikolai daily are fortunate to experience the gentle, caring, and humorous side of his personality. Those who meet him exclusively in his official capacity often fail to capture this. He is a complex person, but to my mind, there has never been a doubt that he has been deeply devoted to his clergy, their families and this Diocese.
I have served as Bishop Nikolais assistant and director of the Russian Orthodox Museuma volunteer positionfor three years. I have done this out of love for the Church, combined with respect and devotion to Bishop Nikolais vision for this Diocese. The Diocese purchased our building, centrally located across the street from the citys major cultural center, the Anchorage Museum, in 2002. In the beginning, a portion of it served as the temporary home of St. Tikhon mission church ministering to the needs of Anchorages growing Russian population. It was Bishop Nikolai who envisioned this need and found a Russian-speaking priest to serve this parish. Encouraged by Bishop Nikolai, this parish has since built a church of their own. In the spring of 2005, we opened the Russian Orthodox Museum, which enjoys annual visits of thousandslocals and tourists. The museum has a gift and coffee shop. My staff consists of part-time employeesFr. Yakov, a monastic originally from Kweethluk, Fr. Daniel Askoak from Russian Mission, my capable assistant, Anastasia Dushkin from Atka, Lea Merritt, a University of Alaska college student and Stephan Nicolai. It has become a wonderful gathering place for visitors from the villages who enjoy conversation, perhaps a game of chess and a cup of coffee. HYPERLINK "http://www.russianorthodoxmuseum.org" www.russianorthodoxmuseum.org. Our displays exhibit the rich history of Orthodoxy in Alaska. This was just one of Bishop Nikolais brainchilds. Last year, he established St. Nicholas Skete, a monastery in Eklutna. Before all these recent distractions, he was working with community leaders to establish senior housing next to St. Innocent Cathedral for our elders. These elders faithfully attend the services but lack transportation, requiring them to come in taxis. Through friendships within the community, he initiated an annual fundraising event, which gathers funds to redesign the entrance to St. Innocent Cathedral so that it will be handicap accessible. A well-known chef, Felix Zollinger, volunteered his culinary services to make this gala event successful. Bishop Nikolai has established other mission parishes, St. Yakov Center for Orthodox Christian Learning (Soldotna), and so much more. If he has failed a personality test by some, I firmly believe this could have been ameliorated by addressing the problem directlyScripturally, as I suggested in the meeting.
All great leaders seem to possess flaws in addition to their positive attributes. Ironically, these flaws often function simultaneously as their strengths. His Grace is sometimes impatient, sometimes intractable or uncompromising. But, that impatience has translated itself into tremendous accomplishments within this Diocese during his brief seven-year tenure. He is continually in motion, attempting to develop and improve the Dioceses institutions. His Graces character is many layered. Some have focused on his strictness and have characterized him as being cold and unfeeling. I have witnessed the opposite in his pastoral care and his interaction with Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike. I can say without reservation that his whole being is consumed with love for Christs Holy Church. On a daily basis he does what he perceives is right for Her, and for those whose souls he has been entrusted as our hierarch.
Some have asked why I resigned from the Metropolitan Council. His Grace articulated one reasonthe work that I have chosen to do for this Diocese is very time consuming. In addition to serving as his assistant and director of the Russian Orthodox Museum, I have many other responsibilities at the diocesan and parish level. My other reason is I have aging and frail parents who live in England and whose care I must oversee.
I do not know what the future holds, but this has all been a lesson to me to accept, Thy Will be done. I do not feel animosity toward those who have brought what I believe to be the bright vision of a dedicated servant of God, Bishop Nikolai, to a standstill, but I admit that I am deeply disappointed. It seems to me that there has been a profound lack of communication, love and forgiveness. Bishop Nikolai, despite any human flaws, has given of himself in all the ways he found possible to build this Diocese through the episcopacy bestowed on him.
Of course I have no actual way of measuring, but I would assert that there are hundreds who deeply love His Grace compared to every one who has spoken against him. I conclude this from personal conversations, e-mail messages and phone calls, which I have received from concerned clergy, Orthodox faithful and non-Orthodox from across the Diocese and the Nation.
I regret that I was not as eloquent or impassioned in my plea for peacemaking at the Tuesday meeting as those in opposition. I am tired and saddened, but finally acquiesce to the difficult lessonThy Will be done.
May God have mercy on us all.
With love in Christ,

You are a loyal and faithful retainer, but the bottom line is to be found in the Gospels when they speak of the "fruit" of one's work and efforts. Most of Bishop Nikolai's "fruits" are bitter and poisoned, as has been born witness to by so many in Alaska.
#7 Kenneth R. Tobin on 2008-03-27 08:10
Ms. Jacobs,
To put it none to bluntly, you could have just described Jim Jones as well. He also had a "caring and compassionate" side, he also accomplished great things, he also organized people and institutions. I am very certain that not everything BN has done while he has been bishop of Alaska has been bad or evil. I'm sure he has done very good things as well. But do those good things outweigh his humiliation of his clerics, the disregard for the canons of the church in ordaining someone unsuitable, and his blatant disregard for his Synod? No, no, no.
Should complaints be brought personally? Yes, but it hard to follow the letter of this biblical command when the person about whom you have a complaint is in a position of authority over you. This Bible passage only speaks in terms of complaints between co-equals. Hence, I struggle to see how you want to apply it to this situation. The people have made their complaint known to BN, numerous times, yet BN is still telling the evening news that these complaints are little more than figments of their imagination. Obviously, telling him their complaints still isn't working, so why ask them to continue to do so?

The MC members chosen for Alaska are temporary, non voting members chosen simply to provide filling for the void casued by the other member's resignations. They will be replaced or confirmed by a vote at the next regularly scheduled diocese assembly. This was made very clear and is understood by everyone, including the new members.
#9 Anonymous on 2008-03-27 09:00
It is clear from your posting that you are very sincere, and a loving person. We can all recognize and appreciate this.
What you and so many others do not understand, though, is that this crisis in NOT about his building beautiful edifices. It is about his alleged lack of love and understanding of the people, his lack understanding and appreciation of the Alaska Native culture(s).
A bishop is, foremost, responsible for the souls of the people of his diocese. He is to love them and protect them, not destroy them. It matters not at all whether he builds glorious edifices. If he has failed in love, understanding, and protection, he has utterly failed as a bishop.
Pray that the Holy Synod will do God's will in this matter.
#10 Fr. Daniel Swires on 2008-03-27 09:04
All well and good and a fine post. ....Whatever good he may have done is all over-shadowed by the hundreds of complaints from clergy & laity in Alaska. Compounding this sexuality issues and bad decisions, + Nicolai's episcopacy had to be examined more closely. The harm & chaos occurring in Alaska could not be allowed to continue.

Dear David: Read the statute more closely: "Vacancies occurring among diocesan representatives are filled by the respective dioceses." [Article V, Sec. 1] It does not say vacancies are filled by the diocesan assembly. So, IMHO, the vacancies were not filled in some "cavalier" manner.
#12 Michael Strelka on 2008-03-27 09:10
Bravo Mina!! You speak with great insight and eloquence for what I, too, deeply feel about Bishop Nikolai. As a Catholic I realize that all my volunteer efforts for the seminary, and Orthodox Church in Kodiak, through media coverage of the seminary and annual pilgrimage, are just that--volunteer and that I am not a member of your church. I pray that the voices of those who do see the goodness of your bishop be heard also, even in their silent prayers!! May the Lord's will be done. Peace be with all of you!!

The mental health professional who has been tasked with the podvig of being my wife tells me that one of the most useful tools in the Complete Narcissist's Tool Kit is the ability to draw smart, competent and decent people into the net. The narcissist needs such people to reflect back his glory to him and also to ensure that nothing sticks to him. (Think of Bill and Hillary Clinton, and the numerous smart, competent and decent people who willingly took one for the team.) The narcissist, who has a savage mean side, knows how to turn on the charm in order to manipulate the unfortunates caught in the net, and said unfortunates continue to defend the narcissist against all foes and despite all evidence. The savage mean side will be revealed to any of the narcissist's entourage who fails to reflect back glory or to deflect incoming rounds. (Think of Governor Richardson of New Mexico, who has now been officially demoted to "Judas" for daring to cross the Entitled One.) A clever narcissist can deceive many people over a long time. Those who are caught in the net need our prayers.

Well, with the statement of the Synod out right now, the Diocese of Alaska has now been left to die.
St. Herman must be crying.
There is a God, we all know, but he doesn't guide this Synod.
#15 Anonymous on 2008-03-27 10:30
Let there be no mistaking that the Synod made a deal with the devil and the devil won.
When a Synod, now so obviously void of any guidance of the Holy Spirit, bends to the desires and threats of a person of Nikolai's character and spirit, there truly is no hope. No hope.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the faithful and clergy of Alaska as they have to suffer through the death of the origin of Orthodoxy in America. May God have mercy on the souls of this Synod, for great in magnitude will be their reward in Heaven.
#16 Anonymous on 2008-03-27 10:34
The news has just arrived that Nikolai has been restored by the Synod. The mind boggles, but then again it really isn't such a big surprise. It simply confirms the utter futility of expecting anything positive from our totally incompetent and out of touch hierarchy.
Resistance is futile (at least in this BORG universe we call the OCA)!

I too commend Mr. Gregg Nescott for his comment towards monk James Silver.
On another note Mark, there was a comment posted yesterday, I believe, that stated very emphatically that Metropolitan Herman was asked to leave the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Jordanville and that Metropolitan Juvanaly of MP refused to serve with him. I found that extremely hard to believe so I made an inquiry and NO such thing occured.
Do people hate our Metropolitan so much to just blatantly make up a lie like that? That is pathetic.
I find it interesting that whoever posted this comment signed it anonymously. Very telling isn't it?
Perhaps you could follow-up with that one as well because false information like this just adds fuel to the fire.

I am SO unconvinced by all that has been said about Bishop Nikolai, pro and con. I simply don't know and won't judge. I feel others who want to deflect attention from more serious issues in the OCA are using his unpopularity as a ruse in the continuing cover-up. And more than that, I suspect Bishop Nikolai himself may be part of the ruse (as long as he maintains his status-quo that is.) And that suspicious nature is my sin, I guess.
I was reading about Christ's love last night and the author stated it is not the sentimental love we often think it is and seek to emulate. Rather it is a love that is also full of wrath, a love that could say to Peter Get thee behind me Satan, a love that could overturn tables in the temple, a love that could call the Pharisees full of dead men's bones, etc., a love that could say Let the dead bury their dead, a love that had no thought for culture and its many niceties and rules, but only for the salvation of men's souls. I think Christ was loving and humble in a way we cannot understand except by the Spirit. Common nicety and good manners, etc. were not of concern to him. He was Truth and his fight was to destroy the lies of the devil. His love was impassioned by his wrath
I am not saying Bp. Nikolai's love is like Christ's however, but
with the continuing cover-up in the OCA, I wonder if we are not all just witnessing a game being played out in which a person's rudeness and dictatorial behavior is pointed out so that the more serious issue is not addressed. This is the whole point of scapegoating, I guess, but in this case, perhaps Bishop Nikolai is playing along, knowing he will not really end up scapegoated by the secretive brotherhood of bishops when the game ends.
I certainly am confused by all this bantering re: canons etc., but this I know: let us be circumspect lest we create victims while overlooking the real sickness in the OCA, and by that I mean hypocrisy and all its outworking in theft, lies and cover-up.
May the Lord continue to bring it all to light and heal us.

It is obvious that morally and ethically challenged bishops do not have the moral authority, conviction, character, guts, and courage to do the right thing! They are weak and compromised. An unloving, power-mad, and unrepentant tyrant and abuser like -Nikolai can sense this and easily challenge and intimidate them.
We are witnessing the end days of the OCA. What a tragedy!
The time has come for me to say, with a very broken heart, good bye OCA.
#21 Theophan on 2008-03-27 11:41
It is very hard to know exactly what is going on behind the scenes here, especially instantaneously. I don't pretend to.
One easy, quick way to read it is that the Synod miscalculated, or has been cowed into confusion, submission or retreat, or never really intended to do anything in the first place, and in the end no charges will be brought or followed to a conclusion.
Another is that they want to go forward to removal carefully, without the distraction of the procedural quibbles (over enforced leave of absence, etc.) that His Grace and his supporters were raising, to say nothing of all the ambiguities and difficulties for poor Fr. Alexander Garclavs who seemingly had two more-than-full-time (if not impossible) jobs on opposite sides of a vast continent!
I can see possible hybrid interpretations of these two views across a whole middle range of opinions, too, with members of the Synod, even those with leanings for or against, unwilling to truly decide until evidence is truly in from all sides. The latter sure sounds like a pretty defensible idea since, as all admit here, no formal charges have been brought, let alone formally tried to a conclusion. This is not to say that I have changed my tentative belief (based on the "internet evidence" against and little by way of defense)that he should not continue in office, but rather that we should want removal, if it proves justified, to be done "decently and in order" as the KJV phrased it. Delay seems on the surface to offer Bishop Nikolai more than it does others, but time will probably tell. In the meantime he will doubtless be on best behavior, while those in Alaska who have criticized him will feel most uncomfortable.
I suspect that all sorts of people will want to make quick pronouncements, and those will tend to fall in line with what they already thought. The virtues of patience and silence usually elude me, and I expect some to blame me for trying to use this situation to acquire both. But I still hope to try.

#22 Fr. George Washburn on 2008-03-27 12:28
Dear Karen,
Normally, you are spot on, but this time with regard to Bishop Nikolai you have it backwards. Nikolai is actually the most extreme manifestation of all our current problems, not some misunderstood tyrant filled with righteous wrath or a posturing dupe for the Synod!! I, and many others, agree that it is easy for him to be a distraction and cover for others. But make no mistake, by his public words and actions he is, without any doubt, a disaster as a bishop and a public relations nightmare (for the OCA) of epic proportions.
Now, to their everlasting shame and disgrace, our Synod has either succumb to blackmail, or in a display of hierarchical solidarity forever, let this ravaging prelate loose to terrorize his already abused flock once again. It is hard to fathom otherwise, though it will be cloaked in cloying piety that mouths words extorting everyone to come together and work everything out. Yeah, right.
This is yet another botched opportunity to bring reform to the OCA by a Synod composed of men who can not lead, and would not be allowed to lead, in any other endeavor of life. They really all do need to retire to a monastery, as unfamiliar as those surroundings would be to them.
#23 Kenneth R. Tobin on 2008-03-27 12:32
As has been suggested, we need the resignations of the entire SOB. Start over with men who care about people and the church. The decision regarding + Nicolai and Alaska only proves we have a SOB which has no clue. Now, a continued spiral downward for the people and clergy in Alaska; more despair, more darkness, more hopelessness.
#24 Anonymous on 2008-03-27 13:16
I agree with you wholeheartedly! It looked like the Synod
might FINALLY do something right, and then they trip all
over themselves backsliding to let this horrible person
continue to stay in the very place he has wreaked so much
havoc in.
I'm especially disappointed in Job, Benjamin, Nathaniel and Seraphim - I thought they had "the right stuff" to stand up
to this kind of evil. So sad.....
#25 Pauline Costianes on 2008-03-27 13:18
Dear KRT,
Don't assume if you are from another state. Just pray harder for the better. Just a waste of time when you have some people sin. Understand SIN. If you have caused people to sin you can ask for forgiveness.
#26 Anonymous on 2008-03-27 19:23
"Right stuff"??? They have self-interests, they have political agendas, they have dirty secrets to hide -- none of this is right. They go after him and he exposes them, that's how it would work. And do not think that Nikolai didn't threaten them in this way.
Most of these bishops operate on one principle and one principle only -- protect the "institution" at all costs. Never go against another bishop because it may be "you" next. Who cares about the people, about the Church, about the Faith? SELF PRESERVATION is at the heart of their actions.

Skip to comments.The Five Pillars of Liberalism
Posted on 11/12/2010 1:44:30 AM PST by Gum Shoe
During my consideration of contemporary politics, I have noticed five reoccurring themes regarding liberal socialist thought. The Five Pillars of Liberalism detailed below, seem to capture the prevailing position taken by most every liberal socialist to which I have the pleasure of conversing. I've put their collective thought into words, and organized them for your pleasure.
1) Scorn - America is bad : In order for a world socialist workers utopia to have any chance at realization, the United States of America, as we know it, must cease to exist. The reason all prior communist revolutions have failed is because the United States of America, a minority of the world population, consumes the clear majority of the worlds resources. This consumption deprives non-Americans of their rightful portion of the worlds bounty, and keeps a majority of the worlds population in poverty.
2) Diversity - Divide and conquer : American exceptionalism, and the American identity must be attacked and broken down in order to expedite the conversion of The United States of America to a Marxist paradigm. Corruption of borders, mingling of language, and dilution of prevailing culture must be accomplished to these ends.
3) Hauteur - Few are fit to lead : Expect the worst in people. People are stupid. They are incapable of any degree of independent, or intellectual thought. They must be told what to think. Words must be defined so people will understand them within the socialist model. Any political discussion must be limited to socialist themes. Any deviance from a socialist theme, or consideration of unorthodox thought, is undesirable. However, debate within any socialist theme should be as brisk as possible to further the movement (Chomsky). Few have the requisite intelligence to define words as they pertain to the revolution. Those who do will lead the masses, and their authority will be absolute. Political strategy should be based on the assumption people are stupid and will respond to greed, lethargy, and racism.
4) Hubris - Government is salvation : There is no God, but god. There can be no authority above that of the government. All vestiges and symbols of any higher authority must be purged from the public conscience. Religious fervor and devotion are serious obstacles to the revolution. Therefore, priestly functions must be infiltrated to add a revolutionary voice to the peoples communion to advance the liberal socialist agenda. Government is the final arbitrator.
5) Ambition - Ends justify the means : Those who dissent and resist do not understand the ultimate goal of the revolution. If they did, they would welcome the end result. Those voices must be overcome by any means necessary. Once the objective of the world socialist workers utopia has been achieved, all will understand the beauty, and forgive any transgressions perceived along the way. Any murder, theft, or lie may be forgiven by the grace offered through the victory of the masses.
Eureka. You got it. The water is starting to boil and that nice warm sauna is getting a little hot. Wonder how many Frogs will escape the pot?
Pretty well sums it up.
If you get rid of the of them are we left with 2 legged stools?
This pretty much echoes the principles Marx laid out in the Manifesto.
Just stand up and then flush the stool.
I was wonderin' when someone would catch on to the inner meaning...LOL.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
TAMPA — With the sting still fresh from a new election law that affects the way the League of Women Voters operates, members of the group heard suggestions Saturday on how to work with the law while still hoping for its repeal.
Florida's new election law, which went into effect in most counties last month, requires that groups wishing to sign up new voters register their volunteers with the state. They face fines of up to $1,000 for not submitting voting forms within 48 hours.
The League of Women Voters, for whom a main priority is voter registration, suspended the activity in Florida because of the law's restrictions.
In five counties, including Hillsborough, the law won't go into effect until the U.S. Justice Department approves it because of past voting rights problems in those areas.
Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections Earl Lennard, who spoke Saturday at the annual meeting of the league's Hillsborough County chapter, said he is confident federal officials will make the right decision.
"I think the Department of Justice will be very mindful in its deliberations and will look at any and all aspects of the law that would have negative effects on voters," he said.
In the meantime, Lennard said his office is figuring out how to implement the new rules, which also include reducing early voting from 15 to eight days and requiring some voters who have moved to cast provisional ballots.
He suggested the League of Women Voters plan for it, too.
"We can work together to register voters," Lennard said. Supervisor of Elections Office employees could come to League of Women Voters' events to register voters directly, he said, avoiding so-called third-party registration altogether.
Many of the league's members hope a resolution can be reached before that.
"We are still hopeful that the issues will be resolved," said Mickey Castor, president of the group's Hillsborough County chapter.
Former state Sen. Helen Gordon Davis agrees.
"It's just sickening what they have done," she said. "Now many people won't get to the polls, and people who do get there will be turned away."
Gordon Davis said she recently donated money to the American Civil Liberties Union to help appeal the law in court.
Al Davis, a civic activist from Tampa, said he worries about the driving force behind such a restrictive bill.
"What were the benefits they thought these massive changes would be for the people of Florida?" he asked. "I can only think they wanted to do damage."
Sponsors of the bill in this spring's legislative session have said it would help guard against voting fraud in Florida.
Because of his job, Lennard said he won't express his opinion on the law.
"I don't have the luxury of saying how I feel about it," Lennard said. "I have to administer the law as it is written."
When the Justice Department's decision comes in August, he must do his job either way, he said.
"The whole objective of our Supervisor of Elections Office is to get people to vote, to help them vote, to make it a convenience to vote," he said, "and to make the voting experience a good one."

She made you laugh, she made you cry; she made your heartache
as a forgotten lullaby. With the closing stages of Oprah's immaculately
successful television series, it would be fun to take a look at
where this media mogul resides.
Well, to start with, Oprah has a couple residences, but her California
abode is beyond comparison, when it comes to the Montecito California
home called the as "The Promised Land".
The house was bought with a whopping $52 million in 2001 and
still remains to be a favorite residence after the television
series. The 'promised land' stretches itself to an area of 23000
square feet and its estimated value as of 2011 is $100 million.
Oprah spends most of her time unwinding in this home as this 42
acre estate has an amazing ocean and mountain view.
This property as told by
Oprah was first spotted when she was in a photo
shoot at a nearby location. The former owner of the house was
a Southern California industrialist Robert Veloz with his wife
who lived in the house since it was built a year ago. The Velozes
had bought the property for $15 million in 1998, after the death
of its previous owner Eloise Bacon, who lived for 100 years.
Oprah's Hawaiian Home
Oprah claims that there is not a single change that the designers
made without her taking a look at it. As they call her a perfectionist,
Oprah needs to witness every single piece of fabric, every doorknob,
every trim and utensil for its color and design. She also monitored
the grout's color that had to go in between the stone of the house.
Oprah's garden teahouse
exhibits a large and beautiful hybridized rose
she had fashioned in honor of the 25 African-American women who
were honored at her Legends Ball. The "Legends rose"
as she calls, is the oversized bloomed red flower. The roses are
so strong and vibrant, that you only need a few petals to make
a bouquet.
Winfrey also owns a beautiful apartment in Chicago, a big house
in New Jersey, an estate in Florida, a ski house in Colorado,
a house in Douglasville, Georgia, and land on Maui, Hawaii and
Antigua. However, currently she lives on "The Promised Land"
where she has 14 bathrooms and 10 exquisite fireplaces.

prison system
In the US, state laws governing compensation for wrongfully convicted people vary significantly. While some states offer sizable packages for the exonerated, at least 20 offer nothing. And even for those that do, it may not be enough to make up for the emotional damage on those who've been wrongfully convicted. Hari Sreenivasan reports. Continue reading
WASHINGTON — When inmates at a notorious Alabama women's prison came forward to complain of sexual abuse and harassment, state investigators time and again classified the complaints as unfounded or unsubstantiated and often recommended that the matters be closed without further action, according to investigative reports obtained by The Associated Press. Continue reading
More than 46,000 inmates, including many who have already served a decade or longer in prison, would be eligible to seek early release under the commission's decision. A judge would review the case of each prisoner seeking to get out early to decide if the release would jeopardize public safety. The releases would start in November 2015 and be phased in over a period of years. Continue reading

A group of traditional Asian dancers added an authentic touch to a fundraising evening with an Indian theme held at Stanborough Park Seventh-day Adventist Church in Garston on Saturday evening.
More than 90 people, many adding to the atmosphere by dressing in Asian costumes, sat down to a three-course vegetarian Indian meal and helped raise several hundred pounds towards the cost of funding a new initiative by church members to help to meet the needs of the local community in a practical way.
The evening culminated with a display of Indian dancing by five members of Southall-based "Anita's Dance Factory".
The church is planning to adopt the Community Chaplaincy Scheme which has been trialled in the south London/Surrey area where it has proved to be very successful.
Soon members of the church in St Albans Road will be visiting homes in Garston armed with a questionnaire seeking out those in need of help and support.
A team of volunteers is being lined up in an attempt to meet their needs once they have been identified.
Plans are in place to offer guidance to those seeking employment with writing CV's and interview techniques. It is also anticipated that help with more routine tasks like gardening, ironing, shopping for the housebound and DIY will be available in addition to support for adult literacy needs.
It is also hoped to extend the church's existing food bank which is currently operating on a small scale.
Help in locating those in need will also be sought from those already operating similar schemes in Watford or are aware of where help could be targeted.

Focus Point - IRS FolliesCommentary by Pete du Pont
August 03, 2001
I'm Pete du Pont with the National Center for Policy Analysis. How bad is IRS information doled out to taxpayers? Worse than you imagined.
The Treasury Department sent snoops to IRS walk-in centers all around the country to ask simple questions about filing or figuring taxes. IRS agents gave incorrect or insufficient answers 73 percent of the time -- and that's an improvement over last year.
As reported in the Washington Times, one investigator was left waiting 90 minutes, only to be given a stack of papers and told to "do her own homework." Another investigator went to a site at 11 in the morning, was told the agency wasn't answering any more questions, and was instructed to come back the next day.
According to Pamela Gardiner of the Treasury Department, of 90 questions on tax law, 61 were answered incorrectly and service was denied in seven more cases. It is inconceivable any private business could survive a week with such a performance. But the IRS can, and you pay for it -- in more ways than one.
Those are my ideas, and at the NCPA we know that ideas can change the world. I'm Pete du Pont, and I'll see you next time.

Tom Hiddleston Gives A Special Shoutout To Liam Payne's Dog
Thor and The Avengers star Tom Hiddleston had quite the night at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards. The dashing Brit (yes dashing. I find him to be very attractive) accepted Best Villain for his role as bad-ass-mother-f**ker-with-a-British-accent Loki.
"I am Loki of Asgard and I am burdened with glorious popcorn."
After graciously thanking the
academy whomever for his award, Hiddleston went on an adorable rant, which we all just went with.
"I just want to thank Liam Payne from One Direction who I believe named his dog Loki—liam's dog Loki is unquestionable better looking, certainly better bred and probably better known," Hiddleton told the audience, many of whom knew more about Payne's dog than they do Hiddleston.
"He's probably got more twitter followers than I do… it's all about spreadng the love."
ILYTH. Especially when you tweet things like this:
I just want to say THANK YOU, so much, to every single person who voted for Avengers, heroes & villains, at the @mtv Movie Awards. #SoProud
— Tom Hiddleston (@twhiddleston) April 15, 2013

Weiler Corporation's controlled-flare end brushes feature a trimmed crimped wire fill for more effective brushing action and enhanced durability when cleaning fillet welds, corners, bevels, channels and slots.
According to the company, the end brush's design virtually eliminates the rapid filament fatigue and wire breakage that occurs when using standard end brushes on high-speed air tools to clean and prep hard-to-reach areas. Its trim not only removes the most breakage-prone portions of the wire fill, but it also results in a shape that is more easily maneuvered into corners and against fillets. The brush's shape places more sharp wire tips into these hard-to-reach areas, where they can clean and condition more rapidly and thoroughly, Weiler says.
The controlled-flare end brushes are available in steel wire for use on carbon steel and other materials; and stainless steel wire for use on corrosion-resistant alloys, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. They are available in diameters from 1/2" to 1" and in 0.0104, 0.014 and 0.020 wire sizes.

Streatham-Croydon returned to winning ways after their Vase humiliation at Farnham with a 17-5 win over Bec Old Boys in Surrey Division Two.
Man of the match Walter Pretorius bagged a hat-trick of tries, with Aaron Brown converting the first, while Bec Old Boys' solitary try before half time meant Streatham had to be wary of their mid-table opponents.
Overall it was a strong and positive return to league action for Streatham-Croydon with fly-half Chris Geary directing matters with his usual calm, un-ruffled manner.
The loose forwards of Chris Tipton and Jack Kebbell had highly effective games, appearing in the backline and at the breakdown with a constancy which would have pleased the Streatham-Croydon coaching staff.
Charlie Crewe at outside centre was his usual elusive self, often pirouetting his way through a Bec Old Boys defence which was up flat and fast for most of the game.
The result is always the most important part of any match and Streatham will be happy to secure points which keep them at the very heart of the promotion race.
This weekend, Streatham visit Old Rutlishians in Morden, kick-off 2pm.

October 15th, 2010
Stemming from my experience of breast cancer, beginning in December 2006, it has come to me that disease is often due to an imbalance of the Soul – individually, collectively and globally. I would like to say a little about that here.
I was living in America, and had been for 33 years, when a suspicious area was found in my left breast through a mammogram, and diagnosed as malignant. This was a place where I had a cyst in previous years, which had proved benign. I consequently had a biopsy, and a lump was removed, and later some lymph nodes, where no more cancer cells were found. Chemotherapy and radiation were advised by my surgeon, but I declined. Conventional medicine had been good to me thus far, but my body did not like the idea of the next lap of the journey here, so I chose otherwise. I am cancer free now and I have learned a lot along the way, some of which I share in my book, A GUIDE TO BREAST CANCER: A WHOLE BODY A – Z FOR PREVENTION AND HEALING. It is enhanced by beautiful flower photographs taken by my sister, Jess Walsh, to bring some beauty to this rather scary subject.
Having trained and worked as a nurse for some years I do have the conventional perspective, much of which I value greatly, but with the further training and practice that I have gained in alternative medicine, I now see, firsthand, where we can have more choice in our health care. We do have more options if we know what is available, and what I hope to do with my book is to tell more people, including medical and alternative practitioners, as well as the general public, about these options.
After my surgery I used Prayer, Light Therapy, Diet and Nutritional Supplementation, Homeopathy, Flower Remedies, Hands On Healing, Emotional and Negative Pattern Release, Guided Imagery and Visualisation, as well as working with Music, Chant, Sound and Silence. Alternative Technologies, such as the QXCI Biofeedback Device, the BEST Machine and the IonCleanse Detox Footbath were also an important part of my healing. I had much loving support, and was privileged to have some knowledge of these therapies.
The added necessary ingredient was addressing the needs of my Soul, and why I had such resistance to these needs. There is a longing inside that is always calling us. I discovered, through my own experience also, that cancer thrives on resistance (fear), resentment, conflict (guilt), and despair, all of which I found I was harbouring.
The imbalance in giving and receiving had often shown up in my life as exhaustion or "burnout". Knowing my Dosha as Vata from Ayurvedic Medicine, I have learned to manage my Vata imbalances quite well, but there had been times over the a few years when the correction had not been complete. I did not get what I knew I needed, and seemed to find it less possible, as more things happened that seemed to require my energy, one way or another, as happens to many women. The word 'No' became more difficult to say. My space seemed to get smaller, and I knew my health was deteriorating, while everyone still told me that I looked terrific!
The truth was that in many ways I was "terrific". I had done a lot of work on myself, and I was expanding and praying for my next level of growth and service. However there was a part of me that was scared to take the leap that that required – that didn't even want to really hear what that might be, so I kept going busily, until I had to stop.In some ways it was a welcome break, because my Soul, above all, was so happy to slow down and have time to listen. I began to hear my own Truth – the call to come home to Ireland, and to be with my family, and to live alone, for however long. The challenge was great, but I know that Ireland is my right place at this time, and despite loss there is also the joy in knowing that I am answering the call of my Soul. The story will keep unfolding, as it always does.
Anger and despair can often be related to local and world news, and our feelings of lack of control over the outcome, which in actual fact can contribute to the problem. What we think and feel (in my belief system) ripples out and affects everyone. We can get swallowed up by our feelings of hopelessness, and forget our joy. Joy sends out good vibrations. Good feelings do not have to negate our sadness, or produce guilt, though sometimes in the cleansing healing process the "nasties" can surface for transmutation to something better. This is part of what is happening with our Planet also, and acceptance is helpful as we all raise our vibration to that of Unconditional Love. Embracing the part of us that is sad while acting on our gifts in service to humankind, however small this may seem, can release us from the role of victim and bring us much happiness. We can begin at any moment. It can be tricky as there are many layers to our sadness and anger and much of the suffering of the world is due to repressed feelings in our subconscious projected outwards. Some of our task is to discern the energy in these different layers.
Cancer appears to be with us in epidemic proportions, causing much suffering at all levels. I am discovering that it can be cured if we are willing to make the Journey. Each person who has gone before has left a clue, and in this way they deserve to be honoured and thanked. Everyone whom we watch suffer, or whose story we hear, causes us to feel and open our hearts; to question, and perhaps act differently for ourselves and for the good of all. The effect ripples out to Family, Community and thus the World, again and again, until we come back to balance as people and as a Planet, recognizing what is truly important.
May it be so.

Facts and Events
History written by Elmers children.
My turn on earth began on May 27, 1904 the second son of my parents George Brooks Longmore and Maud Mary Walters. I was born in a home in West Jordan, Utah. The home was owned by an elderly couple by the name of Last. My dad worked at the smelters in Murray, Utah.
My older brother Lester was born in 1902 in West Jordan, Utah. In 1909 my brother Alma was born and in 1913 my sister Luella. Both in Coltman, Idaho. My youngest brother Hyrum wasn't born until 1918 after we moved to Thomas, Idaho.
In the summer of 1904 we moved from West Jordan to Coltman, Idaho. Coltman is ten miles north of Idaho Falls. My grandpa Walters had just purchased an eighty-acre farm. My father built a home on their property. It was a two-room home with a dirt roof. There was no lath or plaster just boards on the outside that ran vertical. It was finished on the inside with "factory" (which is dried muslin) and then we white washed the "factory". There were home made carpets on the floor. We lived there from 1904 to 1915 a period of eleven years.
My father, while in Coltman, worked for Utah Idaho Sugar Co. and various blacksmith shops in Idaho Falls and Rigby before starting our own business in 1910.
The church was too far away so we didn't get to go very often, as we had no way of getting there. We had primary and religion classes during the school months. And Bishop Taylor was our Bishop in the Coltman Ward.
I was baptized in the canal that ran west of the old Coltman church house.
When we were young my dad used to take us boys hunting. In the summer we would go fishing. In the spring we would trap muskrat, in the fall we hunted ducks, and in the winter we used to go hunting snowshoe rabbits. The best fishing was up at Camas creek. I learned to love the outdoors because of my father's influence.
When I was about seven years old Les and I went with my dad to Idaho Falls for supplies. We drove a buggy or buckboard. In the drug store there, there was an old skeleton on display that they had found in a cave out in the desert. Les and I were just sickened at seeing this so dad took us up front to the soda fountain and bought us an ice cream soda. We also went to the blacksmith supply store. The owner gave Les and I a baseball bat. And I will always remember that.
I started my schooling in Coltman. Miss Reed was one of the teachers and Miss Wright taught the higher grades. In the school picture I am the one in the front holding the hat and my brother Les is two boys to the right of me.
In those days we didn't have candy and all the fine snacks kids have today. We used to slice potatoes and cook them on top of the old coal stove. They were really good. Home made potato chips!!!
When Luella was really young great grandma Bateman died and we got shiny new shoes for the funeral, which was a real treat. Because we usually only got one pair of heavy work shoes when the school year started and they had to last all year.
We moved to Thomas, Idaho in February 1915. Our first home there was another log house with a dirt roof. We were really homesick and wanted to go back to Coltman. It was still winter and the wind blew and how cold it was. We had to walk a couple of miles to school. The next year in 1916 dad built a nicer home. A two-room frame home on the "Thomas town site" next to the church and Thomas school. It was plastered and it was really nice there. That was the place I lived in as long as I lived in Thomas.
My dad was a blacksmith. He never did change his trade. He was a blacksmith until he was about 78 years old. Dad built his blacksmith shop, first on another property, and later moved it onto the property where he had built our home. With dad having the blacksmith shop we learned the trade. We shoed horses built wagon wheels and buggy wheels. I helped dad light the forge and whatever was necessary. You had to be good and strong to shoe horses. I got kicked many a time by a mean horse. You had to learn how to protect yourself from those horses. That blacksmith shop became one of the favorite places for my kids to visit when we went to Idaho to see grandma and grandpa.
When we were kids the big pass time at school was playing marbles. When the spring came and the dry ground showed through we would go out and play a game we called "Fats" or "Rounders" and also a game we used to call "Kill". Of course they were all gambling games. You took a chance on whether you were going to lose your marbles or win the other fellows marbles. We used to swim in the old Snake River and the American Falls canal near our home. We kids used to swim nearly every day if there was any water available.
The Thomas ward house was an old rock church house. Bishop Williams was our Bishop. Our parents made sure we went to church every Sunday. As deacons we passed the sacrament in Sunday school and in Sacrament meeting. And when we were Priests we blessed the Sacrament. The church house was just through the field from us.
During our dating years we found entertainment in many of the surrounding towns. We liked to dance. One of the popular places was "Paradise Gardens" in Firth and the "Blue Bucket" in Blackfoot. We used to go to shows and cafes and the ice cream parlor for a malted milk. While attending a dance at "Progress Hall" in Blackfoot I met my sweetheart, "wife to be", Lillian Sedgwick.
I went to California and worked for a time. I rode the rails (Hobo) with a friend to get there. At one point we were so hungry that when the train stopped we jumped off and filled up with fruit from a nearby orchard. We jumped back up on top of the train again and suffered the consequences of eating all that fruit (It was not a pretty sight!!!)
When I got to California I boarded with an Italian family in Santa Cruz for a time. While there I met Albert Tuney at a dairy farm. Albert Tuney was a boxer and I was his sparring partner. I later moved to San Francisco. I found a family of Longmores in the phone book. I contacted them and they let me come and board with them for awhile. I wrote letters to Lillian during the following months from California and kept the romance alive.
I returned home to Idaho and married my sweetheart on May 15, 1929. It was during the depression era and times were very hard. Things did not come easy. But I worked very hard to take care of my family. We loved children and wanted a large family. We didn't quite reach a dozen. We stopped with eleven.

Actress Khushboo met with a minor accident on Monday (January 27) when her vehicle was hit by a MTC (Metropolitan Transport Corporation) bus in Chennai at a signal. The tail lights, boot and bumper of the car were damaged, but the actress, like many celebrities, did not display her anger in public rather just warned the driver to be more careful.
Khushboo was in the Q5, which is gifted by her husband-director Sundar C. She talked about it on Twitter. She posted, "Wow!watte crash!! MTC crashes in 2 my car wen waiting at red light..boot,lights n bumper gone for a six..let him off with an advice n warning."
Her followers on Twitter were obviously worried and asked whether she was fine. She reacted conveying her thanks to all those who enquired about her, she posted, "Thanks 4 the concern friends..I m fine but heart bleeds as this car,Q5, is my gift to my hubby by me."
She further added, "1st thing dey do is remove the bus no.plate n route plate..driver doesn't carry license..he says nobody checks or ask..why?? Can we do this?"

Students living at the Stockton Seaview Hotel said the benefits far outweigh the one big drawback: being seven miles from the main campus.
A few students transferred back to campus dorms when rooms became available.
"I was hesitant because it is 15 minutes away," said Monica Chin, 19, a freshman from Marlboro, Monmouth County. "But my dad said let's go see it, and that sold it to me."
So far, the students have co-existed fairly easily with the hotel. An incident during homecoming weekend this year involving two students and a fire extinguisher resulted in fire alarms being activated.
This year, 135 students are living in a wing that requires a swipe key to enter, and has its own rear entrance and parking. Some students work at the resort and requested to live there, and others were assigned to it when other campus housing became full. The cost is about $10,700 per academic year, about the same rate as a room in one of the new apartments on campus.
"I was placed here, but when I came to see it, I loved it," said senior Emily Mohr, of Marlton, Burlington County.
Two students share a room, which is a typical Seaview hotel room: two double beds, dressers and desks and a flat-screen TV. Stockton has also provided a small mini-fridge and microwave.
The double beds are very popular, especially when compared with the typical twin beds in the dorms.
"The beds are so comfy," said senior Robert Shipley, of Manalapan, Monmouth County. "And the food is good."
Katie Baker, 21, a senior from Frenchtown, Hunterdon County, said Seaview feels like living in an apartment complex.
"You have a pool, hot tub, a game room," she said. "I know some people wanted to be here just for the pool. If you lose your key, there is someone here to help, and the food is awesome."
Students on the meal plan can eat on campus but also have a special menu they can order from the Seaview kitchen. The menu is available online, and students say they can order dinner from their smartphones before they leave campus, then pick it up when they get to Seaview.
Popular items are the cheeseburger, clam chowder and chicken sandwich.
Since the rooms revert to hotel rooms in the summer, students cannot put anything on the walls that would leave holes. That doesn't seem to bother them much, and a few have hung message boards or name tags on their doors.
The wing even has its own mascot, a life-size Labrador statue named Shadow, which is officially Drew Ankney's dog but is routinely moved around the hallways by other students. Ankney, 20, of Wildwood, said friends and family find it somewhat amusing that he is living in a luxury resort, but he loves the hot tub and access to pool tables in the rec room.
Lindsey James, 28, of Philadelphia, the resident complex director, said she has worked at other colleges, and the main difference at Seaview is that she has to coordinate with hotel staff rather than campus personnel to use public areas or for maintenance.
Stockton provides a shuttle to and from campus every hour, and the six students interviewed said they typically take the shuttle for convenience because parking is so tight on campus.
"I have a car, but I take the shuttle," said freshman Shane Delorme, of Manalapan.

Upgrade 'Free for personal use' license
With UCS-4.0-0 + errata19 the limits of the "Free for personal use" license have been raised from 5 users and 5 computers to 50 users and 50 computers.
- For already fully licensed domains nothing changes. They will neither benefit from these increased limits nor is any manual interaction required.
- Newly installed systems will automatically use the new licence and will benefit from these new limits automatically.
- Previously installed systems, which have not been activated yet through registration for the Univention App-Center, will be upgraded automatically and will benefit from these new limits.
- For registered systems the activation must be repeated to get a new license with the increased limits. The exact procedure is described below:
Upgrade procedure
- Login as the user "Administrator" to the UCS Management Console on the UCS Domaincontroller Master.
- Download the new "Free for personal use edition" license from <https://forge.univention.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=6570> and save it to a local file, or copy the following content into the clipboard:
- Open the menu in the top-right corner after "User Administrator" and navigate to "License" → "Import new license"
- Either import the license from the file using "Import from file...", or by pasting the content into the text box and selecting "Import from text field".
- Log out and re-login to the UMC Management Console.
- Open the same menu again and navigate to "Activation of UCS" this time:
- Enter your email address and press "Activate".
- Wait for the email containing the new license file to arrive. Copy the attached "ucs.license" file to a local directory or copy the content into the clipboard.
- Go back to the UCS Managament Console and select "Import new license" again. Either import the license from the file using "Import from file...", or by pasting the content into the text box and selecting "Import from text field".
- Log out and re-login to the UCS Management Console.
To verify that everything worked as expected, open the menu again and go to "License information" this time. It should list the following information:
- License type: Free for personal use edition
- User accounts: 50
- Managed Clients: 50
- Key ID: ...

Although it was the small annoucement today next to the N86 8MP, the Bluetooth headset BH-214 is actually quite cool. Had a chance to test it. Here the reviewhttp://www.400days.net/?m=2009

How come the "fake" (for lack of a better work) pictures (above) say N86 8mp, but the live pictures all say N85 8mp? (See GSMArena's live gallery.) I'm pretty sure that it's an N85 8mp, since the camera (and worse design) are the only differences from the original N85.

I'll let the comments in my example program speak for themselves: #! /bin/sh #| Hey Emacs, this is -*-scheme-*- code! #$Id: gui-constraints.ss 5286 2007-11-29 23:51:36Z erich $ exec mred --no-init-file --mute-banner --version --require "$0" |# (module gui-constraints mzscheme (require (lib "class.ss") (lib "mred.ss" "mred")) ;; Trying to use MrEd to solve a problem that is easily solved in ;; Delphi 6, and presumably other sophisticated GUI builders: we have ;; a couple of widgets, and we'd like the state of each of those ;; widgets to be determined by the states of some of the others. ;; Imagine a button and a radio-box, where the button is enabled if ;; and only if certain items are selected in the radio box. Now, we ;; could certainly add code to the callback for _the radio box_ that ;; fiddles the enabled state of the button, but imagine that we ;; actually have lots of widgets, not just two, and their ;; interrelationships are complex. It seems to me that it's easier to ;; put the code that enables a widget right "next to" that widget, and ;; have that code refer to all the things that affect it, than the ;; other way around, namely, having each widget "know" about those ;; that it -affects-. ;; So my solution is to write a background thread that runs all the ;; "update me" processes. This code here does just that, for a very ;; simple case. Alas the background thread burns up all the CPU ;; without that ugly "sleep" call; I haven't yet figured out how to ;; make it run only when it needs to run (i.e., when some state in the ;; GUI has changed). ;; * I think Kenny Tilton's "Cells" ;; (http://common-lisp.net/project/cells/) are a sophisticated way ;; to solve this problem (probably without threads) ;; * Java's "Swing" GUI thingy has something called "Actions" that ;; might solve the same problem: ;; http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/action.html; ;; "hotblack23" on #scheme suggests that ;; java.beans.PropertyChangeListener is the relevant class ;; * C-sharp has some documentation on "Event-based Asynchronous ;; Pattern", which _might_ be relevant (but in typical M$ style, ;; it's very hard to understand): ;; http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wewwczdw.aspx (define frame (new frame% (label "Constraint Testing"))) (define button (new button% (parent frame) (label "Click me!") (callback (lambda (item event) (message-box "OK" "Now what?"))))) (define radio-box (new radio-box% (label "Pick one") (choices '("Disable that button there" "Let it be enabled")) (parent frame))) (thread (lambda () (let loop () (sync (system-idle-evt)) (send button enable (not (zero? (send radio-box get-selection)))) (sleep 1/10) (loop)))) (send frame show #t) ) -- If you're trying to choose between two theories and one gives you an excuse for being lazy, the other one is probably right. -- Paul Graham

Our Indigestion (Dyspepsia, Upset Stomach) Main Article provides a comprehensive look at the who, what, when and how of Indigestion (Dyspepsia, Upset Stomach)
Medical Definition of Dyspepsia
Dyspepsia: Indigestion. A condition characterized by upper abdominal symptoms that may include pain or discomfort, bloating, feeling of fullness with very little intake of food , feeling of unusual fullness following meals, nausea, loss of appetite, heartburn, regurgitation of food or acid, and belching. The term dyspepsia is often used for these symptoms when they are not typical of a well-described disease (for example, gastrointestinal reflux) and the cause is not clear. After a cause for the symptoms has been determined, the term dyspepsia is usually dropped in favor of a more specific diagnosis.

• threnody •
Pronunciation: thre-nê-dee • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: A lament, dirge, or requiem for the dead, possibly a sermon, poem, song, or similar creative work.
Notes: This is an odd little word with a sad meaning, but a bit lovelier than its synonyms mentioned in the Meaning. A person who writes or delivers a threnody is a threnodist. Works that contain or resemble a threnody are threnodic. Don't forget to change the Y to IE before adding the plural suffix: threnodies.
In Play: Since threnodies are laments for the dead, they most often emerge at funerals: "The highlight of the funeral was Barry Moore's beautiful threnody to the deceased." Keep in mind that threnodies are any kind of creative work written or composed for the dead: "Rusty Horne wrote a poignant threnody for a brass choir that was played at Justin's wake."
Word History: Today's Good Word was taken from Greek threnoidia "lamentation", a compound comprising threnos "lament" + oide "song". Oide is the source of English ode and is found in several other borrowings, such as melody (tuneful song), rhapsody (sewing song), parody (secondary song), and tragedy (goat song—don't ask). Threnos comes from an earlier form, dhrein- "murmur, drone", which showed up in Germanic languages as English drone and German dröhnen "to drone". (We must thank Jamies Jones for suggesting today's Good Word and possibly forestalling a threnody for it.)

As cows near calving, the amount of bedded resting space needed per cow increases. Rick Stowell, agricultural engineer at Ohio State University, offers the following resting space guidelines for bedded packs or loafing areas. Keep in mind, free-stalls are recommended for far-off and close-up dry cows, but this may not be an option on all dairies.
Cow group – Bedded resting space per cow
Far-off dry cows (60 to 20 days before calving) – 50-60 square feet
Close-up dry cows (21 days before calving) – 60-100 square feet. Provide access to individual pen.
Maternity cows – 100-300 square feet. Individual pen is preferred.
Fresh cows – Provide free-stalls

"ONE of the biggest jobs when you take over a club is to get rid of the rubbish. The players who don't have any value, whether that's financially or to the team. That is the hardest job of any manager these days to offload the players you don't want.
"I still keep being reminded of how much money we have spent but I don't remember spending a lot since I've been here. We have improved the squad, trimmed it down and we are a better side because of it."
They are not the words of Rovers boss Gary Bowyer – although they easily could be – but of Nigel Pearson, the man who has just led Leicester to automatic promotion, and they come from a national newspaper article that has been doing the rounds in the corridors of power at Ewood Park this week.
In it Pearson stresses that the success the Foxes have enjoyed this season should not be taken in isolation, that it is the result of the work that has gone in his two-and-a-half-years in charge.
No wonder the article has struck such a chord at Ewood as Rovers find themselves at a similar juncture to the one that Leicester were at when they re-appointed Pearson in November 2011.
That is a club trying to shift its expensive deadwood while at the same time attempting to build a new team capable of winning promotion, on a budget that is removed from the wild excesses of the summer of 2012 when £30,000-a-week contracts were handed out like confetti.
And whatever happens between now and the end of this season – which suddenly, on the back of back-to-back wins, is very much alive – there is no question that Rovers have made progress on that front.
Yes there is still a lot more to be done and it will only be when the likes of Dickson Etuhu, Leon Best and DJ Campbell are off the wage bill that the dark financial clouds that continue to hover ominously over the club will lift further.
But rays of sunshine have begun to break through.
Anyone who had the pleasure of watching Rovers sweep aside QPR on Tuesday night would testify to that.
Take Jordan Rhodes and Paul Robinson out of the equation and that was a team that cost around £900,000, the combined price of Tom Cairney, Craig Conway and Rudy Gestede.
Rovers played with no little verve, energy and ambition and proved without doubt they have the seeds of a good side in place.
But for those seeds to grow patience is required.
It worked at Leicester and it must be given a chance to work here.
