I am sitting in front of my laptop, hitting refresh over and over, waiting for a sign that someone is out there. Nothing. You might think that I'm hoping for news of a desperately needed organ donation. Nope. I'm waiting to see if a woman I'll call Jane has acknowledged my response to her tweet.
By now, we all know that on Facebook and Twitter you can project an image that may have eluded you in real life—of someone who is sexy, carefree or, in my case, socially savvy, with a knack for always saying the right thing. A chubby girl I know posts pictures of herself taken only at certain (aka slimming) angles. She also instantly detags images that don't give off the alluring vibe she's after. Another woman, perhaps a tad insecure because of her less-than-exciting love life, displays photographs of herself with hot guys, complete with suggestive captions, looking for all the world like the freewheeling sexpot she wishes she could be. And another acquaintance, who rarely cracks a book in real life, posts weirdly intellectual articles that the average Ph.D. wouldn't want to read. Ever.
I get all this. On Facebook, I've been known to do more than my share of overcompensating for my own awkward past. From first grade through high school graduation, I had no friends, and it's not because I went to a school filled with mean kids. In fact, in an effort to help me fit in, my parents sent me to seven different schools—public, private, coed, all-girls, parochial and secular—which means I gathered a large enough control group to be able to say this with certainty: It wasn't them; it was me.
I wasn't the shy version of unpopular, one of those wallflowers who melts into the scenery. Nor was I nerdy-unpopular, too good at physics to function on a social level. I was unpopular because I always managed to say the wrong thing. I bragged when I should have been humble. I made sarcastic jokes that didn't quite land right or, worse, hurt someone's feelings. Instead of finding geeky friends with similar interests, I tried to fit in with the cool kids—actually, I was obsessed with them, a surefire formula for becoming a social loser. I had an endless capacity for putting my foot in my mouth. My gift of observation, which would later help me succeed as a writer, didn't earn me any admirers because I never knew when to shut off my overly honest narrative. I didn't realize that when a girl asked if I thought a cute guy liked her, or wondered if she looked good in that skirt, or if I thought her nose was too big, she didn't want my astutely observed, unflinchingly direct answers: Not really. Not really. Yes, definitely, but maybe you'll grow into it.

Today, I
would like to continue conversation on the "Four Acts of Love." If
you haven't seen it yet, I encourage you to check out Group founder
Thom Schultz's
blog. He's doing a series based on his new book, and he discusses
things people today want to find in a church-what he calls the
"four acts of love." Last week we looked at the act of genuine humility. Today we'll talk about
another act of love: divine anticipation.
Thom has recently touched on this act of love on his
"Research by the Barna Group reveals that only 44 percent of
people who attend church every week say they regularly experience
God at church," according to Thom. "They're not looking for the
deep theological trivia that seems to interest a lot of preachers.
They crave something rather simple. They want to be reassured that
God is real, that he is more than a historical figure, that he is
present today, and that he is active in the lives of people around
Do the kids in your ministry experience God? How do you help
kids discover that God is relevant to their lives? Here are three
things you can do to help your kids discover a personal connection
with God.
1. Cut the "story" lingo. We've talked about it
A quick way to destroy kids' faith in the Bible is by referring
to it as a story. Executive editor of Children's Ministry Magazine,
Christine Yount Jones has a lot to say on this topic. "Even
worse-I've heard many referring to the entire Bible as the 'Big God
Story.' Some in this camp even refer to God as the 'main character'
in the 'Big God Story.' Yikes! We will reap what we sow! If we are
guilty of fictionalizing God's Word, how will our children ever
believe in its truth?"
2. Ask for God sightings. Here's a simple
exercise that has amazing results. Simply ask kids to share their
God sightings: anytime they've seen God at work. At first, kids
answers may sound a little silly…seeing God at work through their
pets. But make this a tradition. It helps train kids to be active
in looking for God. This is also a great activity to do with your
team of volunteers!
3. Pray. Let your kids pray. And don't just
have them bow their heads as you pray. Do interactive prayers. It's
not as hard as it may sound. Play some worship music and let kids
draw their prayers to God. Or take kids on a prayer walk around
your church. At the very least, allow kids a chance to speak to
If you want to know more about the The Four Acts of Love, make
sure to check out Thom's blog, and take a look at the new book Why Nobody Wants to Go to Church Anymore by
Thom and his wife, Joani.
What are some ways you help kids discover God? Let us know in
the comment section below!

Companies can no longer mitigate every potential threat and patch every vulnerability. The threat landscape is too vast and fast-moving and enterprise IT environments are too diverse and dynamic. To help prioritize threat management, organizations are integrating cyber threat intelligence as an essential part of their strategy for mitigating risk and remediating fraud. The desired outcome is informed decisions and a sound, cost-effective risk mitigation strategy based on the potential impact that any one threat can have on organizations' IT assets, sensitive data and critical production systems.
This whitepaper outlines four critical elements of cyber security intelligence that organizations must meet to ensure that the integration of the intelligence will help improve the safety and profitability of enterprises. Additionally, this paper includes four case studies showcasing the risks of unfiltered and unsubstantiated intelligence and specific questions to ask when determining the best approach for an overall risk-mitigation strategy.

I am using the c++ standard template library's priority_queue to implement an A* search. The priority_queue is made up of pointers to Path's.
class Path
{ int key;
bool operator < (Path & right);
bool operator > (Path & right);
bool Path::operator < (Path & right)
{ return key < right.key; }
and the priority_queue is declared as
priority_queue <Path *, vector <Path *>, std::greater <Path *> > pq;
the problem is it is not sorting the paths by the key value - it is sorting them by the address that Path * points to. I am declaring the paths dynamically so I have to give the priority_queue pointers to the Path, but its sorting them by Path * not by the less than operator. any help would be appreciated - thanks

be very careful, mr. romney. pres. obama and his cohorts are in the process of doing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to discredit, mock, undermine and ruin you. i wonder if they have figured out a way to cheat in the last debate - i wouldn't put anything past them. sadly, though, i am weary of all of this - the rancor, the ads attacking (mostly attacking romney), the bitterness between friends when they disagree about politics and even families "hating" each other over this election (although i must say that it is almost always the liberal factions that end friendships with conservatives rather than the other way around). i am just tired and pray that romney wins. i hope he does but they (these chicago dems) play so dirty and cheat so much i do fear he'll "win" just as chavez did. this is not the america that i grew up in.

There's no question we have a wall to wall criminal enterprise running this country and there's no where to go but down if Obama pulls this out.The media's jaws are dropped at the degree of separation Romney got out of the debate. Yea,Obama was bad but Romney doesn't connect with people and besides he's filthy rich and could possibly be hiding even more money.In the liberal's way of thinking,money conquers all.So Obama has been an obsessive fundraiser simply to buy negative attack ads.Obama swamped the swing states with negative ads on Romney for months on end,that's why he stayed ahead.When people got an unfiltered view of Romney,they wondered who the hell the ads were talking about.There's nothing wrong with the polls except Romney convincing people he's presidential.

I've seen reviews about the smell. I love this smell. The shampoo is great! I am a stylist and I will buy this again for sure.
This shampoo is super gentle on your hair. No sulfates and color safe, but at the same time it really gets your hair clean. It's a really great balance - best of both worlds!
This shampoo is super gentle. It doesn't lather and is free of sulfates which is why I bought it. It still cleanses effectively and doesn't strip any moisture.
I have been using Rahua for 2-3 years now and my hair has never been this healthy. My hairdresser is now thinking of carrying Rahua in her salon because she's seen the transformation and can't believe how healthy my hair is. It's fun to have long hair now!
I didn't like the conditioner because the smell was SO overpowering, but this shampoo was nice. It left my hair feeling soooooo soft for the rest of the day, and I could tell it did my hair some good! The only reason I can't buy it is because I need a Dandruff Shampoo, and this just doesn't cut it in that area.
Otherwise, highly recommended!
I have very dry hair that does not get oily or greasy easily, but after using this product, it was looking oily by the end of the day. I like that my hair looked healthier, just not the extra oil that came with it!
I tried this shampoo and it really wasn't any different than any regular shampoo in my opinion. It didn't really have a nice smell either. It smelled a lot like numbing medicine.
I have been using this shampoo 2-3 times a week for the last 3 months and every time it leaves my hair shiny and frizz-free. My hair is dry and curly. I recommend to use a small amount, otherwise it will leave hair oily.
The shampoo definitely provided a little oomph for my hair, and it has had a nice sheen all day...but the smell is somewhat strong and not too pleasant. It's neat that there is quinoa in the shampoo, but the smell took away from my complete enjoyment. I do LOVE that it's color safe - makes such a big difference!

Businesses have been popping up in Anniston recently, with three in the process of opening in the Model City's downtown: Daylight Donuts; Classic, Too!; and the Three Legged Monkey.
Although management at Daylight Donuts had planned to open Friday, delays with renovations to the shop's location at the corner of 14th Street and Quintard Avenue pushed the date back. But the shop opened Sunday.
"The kids and parents will be able to come in on their way to school or work," Owner Kim S. Ou said.
Ou, who is originally from Cambodia, said she and her family have been in the U.S. for about 10 years and decided earlier this year to settle in Anniston to start the donut business. The shop will serve coffee, a variety of donuts and such breakfast items as pigs in a blanket.
An expansion of Noble Street mainstay Classic on Noble, Classic, Too! is already open and serving a variety of coffee drinks and light breakfast items. "We decided we needed a nice coffee shop down here on Noble Street," said owner David Mashburn.
The shop's coffee menu includes such offerings as espresso, cappuccino, cafe mocha, caramel macchiato, as well as plain coffee.
Beginning this week, Mashburn said, the shop will begin offering lunch and add breakfast next week. Part of the impetus for opening a location across the street from Classic on Noble, Mashburn said, was frequent calls by patrons who can't take the time to sit and order lunch in the dining room and instead order ahead.
Classic, Too!, with its lunch-counter setup, is intended to have a more casual atmosphere and will offer "grab-it-and-go" lunches for those who need to eat in a hurry. The new facility in the Noble Building also has plenty of seating inside and an outdoor patio for patrons that Mashburn said he hopes to have covered soon.
Just up the block, the Three Legged Monkey will soon open its doors. Owner Angela Butts said the night spot will offer a new mix for patrons and hopefully break some barriers.
"It's going to be a diverse lounge," she said. "We want to attract everybody, not just black people or white people … so everybody can come together and have fun."
Butts said she plans to open in the evenings and offer events on different days of the week. These include spoken-word poetry, live bands, Monday Night Football specials and a Wednesday Happy Hour.
"We're going to do a lot of searching around for local bands," she said.
Butts said she doesn't have a precise opening date for the business just yet. She must still appear before the City Council for approval of an alcohol license on Aug. 13.
The Three Legged Monkey will offer a relaxing atmosphere and serve drinks but no food, Butts said. "It's more of an upscale lounge," she said, "where grown people can come and have a good time and not worry about the young people taking over."
Mayor Vaughn Stewart is glad to see new businesses popping up downtown.
"We're fortunate that the recession is winding down," he said Friday, noting that developers are becoming increasingly interested in doing business in the Model City.
"We have developers actually contacting the city, which has not been the case in a number of years, and it's very encouraging," he said. "We'll do whatever we can do legally and financially to encourage those businesses to open in Anniston."
Stewart said beyond the downtown corridor, there are opportunities for development all over the city.
"It's exciting," he said. "And I'm not saying all this will happen overnight, but it's certainly something we're working on."

I Believe... "Clean Coal" is PR Spin
I Believe... "Clean Coal" is PR Spin
We put together two quick youtube "video responses" to the new coal industry front group, American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity's (ACCCE), slick "I believe" advertising. Interestingly, the President of ACCCE, Steve Miller is claiming that the, "folks in the ads are a lot like most of us."
Does Miller mean most of us are like actors in a commercial paid for by the coal industry?
Here's our video responses:
- Kevin Grandia's blog
- Log in or register to post comments
I don't know how to be any clearer about who we are and where our money comes from! We say so near the top of the press release we sent out announcing the launch of our new organization!
For that matter, you glossed over the REAL news about the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity:
For the first time, we have over 40 coal-related companies agreeing to federal regulation of carbon dioxide, provided our 12 principles are met.
And for the cynical among you, those principles are available for anyone to see:
The ads themselves point people to americaspower.org.
And right there on the site is who funds the group:
"And again, why do all of these coal companies have to pay you to do these ads?"
While we're on the subject, why does someone need to pay a shill working for a PR company, such as you, to promote the political doctrine of Anthropogenic Global Warming?
It seems odd that such a supposedly cataclysmic phenomenon would need slick Vancouver public relations firm to promote it's existence?
I'm confused at the question. The company you named has its own ads. It is also part of a coalition of more than 40 companies promoting coal use for electricity.
The catch being that coal with carbon storage is the most expensive form of electricity available. (Hence why FutureGen was canceled)
Hell, even without carbon storage it's already atleast 3x more expensive than it was 5 years ago, now that the 2005 Clean Air Act laws have kicked in.
And then of course the regulation I'd imagine they are agreeing to is the Lieberman-Warner bill, which incidentally gives huge grandfather allowances to coal plants.
Aka, they are in favor of legislation that
1. Makes it so that they don't have to do anything different
2. Asks them to do something different, but doesn't ask them to pay for it
Either way you put it, they are against paying for carbon emissions.
Considering a small fraction of today's coal plants would require a liquid carbon distribution system LARGER than our existing petroleum pipeline system.
All you have is a pipe dream.
Or more specifically a claim that they are willing to do something, as long as it's so impossible that they will never have to do it.
Um, desmogblog was in the new york times 2 weeks ago, the globe and mail on the weekend and was voted one of the top 50 ecoblogs in the world by the London Times.
And our little Troll spends more time on this site than he does at work by the looks of things.
"nobody pays attention?
Um, desmogblog was in the new york times 2 weeks ago"
Yup. Apparently, nobody pays attention. --
New York Times anticipates newsroom layoffs
CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Newsroom layoffs are foreseen at The New York Times after the newspaper's attempt to reduce positions through voluntary buyouts fell short of its 100-job target.
In a memo sent to employees Tuesday afternoon, Assistant Managing Editor Bill Schmidt said: "[E]very effort to handicap the outcome suggests that we are almost certain to fall short of the number of volunteers we will need. If that is indeed the case, as we expect it will be, we will -- regrettably -- be forced to resort to some limited number of layoffs within the core newsroom."
New York Times Co.'s flagship newspaper, struggling along with the industry to stem losses in advertising sales as more readers turn to the Web for news and information, said in February that it would need to cut its newsroom staff by about 100 positions.
Those videos are a great response to the Clean Coal commercials. I hope people don't buy into their "spin" campaign.
I am trying to find easy, simple things I can do to help stop global warming (I don't plan on buying a hybrid). Has anyone seen that www.EarthLab.com is promoting their Earth Day (month) challenge, with the goal to get 1 million people to take their carbon footprint test in April? I took the test, it was easy and only took me about 2 minutes and I am planning on lowering my score with some of their tips.
I am looking for more easy fun stuff to do. If you know of any other sites worth my time let me know.
"Take the Nature Challenge: http://www.davidsuzuki.org/NatureChallenge/"
Yeah, and while you're doing that, Suzuki will be motoring across the country in his diesel rock-star tour bus, promoting his latest book of New Age poetry. Gore will continue gad about in his private Challenger executive jet, and ride in limos.
But, damn it, just take that Nature Challenge. No excuses, now.
"I am trying to find easy, simple things I can do to help stop global warming"
This seems a strangely impotent and facile response to what Global Warming enthusiasts often claim is an apocalypse. It would appear that you don't take the problem very seriously, given your half-hearted emphasis on only doing things that are "easy" and "simple". How on Earth do you expect us skeptics to take your claims seriously -- since you obviously don't take them seriously yourself?
I think what's plain here is that, despite the most strident rhetoric, Global Warming enthusiasts, deep down, in some vestigial subconcious remnant of common sense, grasp the obvious fact that absolutely nothing they, or the entire population of the planet do, can possibly control the climate. And so, you resort to empty symbolic feel-good gestures, that do nothing other than give you a warm feeling of self-importance and imaginary moral superiority. "Simple" and "easy".
"I am looking for more easy fun stuff to do."
Yes, that pretty much sums it up.
Earth Day Festivities in Edmonton on Sunday were a complete and utter failure.
The Sheeple really aren't that stupid after all.
There is hope.
This may indeed just be a lot of feel good hot air being expelled by a majority that would like to be viewed as green as long as it does not cause any inconvienience.
On the Coal issue, there is a company in Alberta that is very close to producing a coal powder that burns as clean as natural gas.
Still can't touch neuclear but....
Stay tuned.
What was your's?
While I and most other AGW realists care just as much as the alarmists about a clean environment, I just can't bring myself to care about carbon.
It's plant food.
Stop Poluting, but feed the plants!!!!\
We all need to eat.
Which plants exactly are thriving in the upper atmosphere, and taking advantage of the 747 megatonnes of carbon dioxide released through Canadians' activity in 2005 alone? Or the remaining 98% percent produced elsewhere in 2005? (Ref: http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/080422/d080422a.htm) Or better yet, all the CO2 produced in the past 100 years?
And yet you have claimed that increased CO2 emissions are assisting plant growth. Sorry, you can't have it both ways. Unless you are an obstructive simpleton, that is.
Lets see if this makes any sense:
"They focus on the "bonus allowance program" -- which would issue free allowances to utilities who build plants with CCS based on the tons of CO2 sequestered. Their conclusion: this program would be very costly (between $68 and $110 billion through 2030) but would result in a small number of new plants with CCS (no more than 48 gigawatts by 2030).
The reason for these large costs is that utilities would receive windfalls far greater than the added costs of CCS itself. Some one-gigawatt plants, for example, would receive free allowances worth $4.6 billion. These allowances would enable utilities not simply to finance the added costs of CCS but to offset emissions at existing coal plants, delaying reductions that would otherwise be required under the bill's declining emission caps. Despite the windfalls received by specific utilities, CCS would not, in fact, be required at any new plant and conventional uncontrolled coal plants could continue to be built."
In short, of course Coal companies think it's a great idea.
Because they don't have to actually pay for anything.
Finally, one of the UN members stands up and states what the real goal has always been.
How refreshing:
Bolivian President Evo Morales has told a UN forum that capitalism should be scrapped if the planet is to be saved from the effects of climate change.
And your comment reveals your own underlying paranoia. You are afraid of losing some money.
And in your view, then, anthropogenic global warming is another facet of this socialist decay?
Heh, I'd be the first to admit that home retrofit solar panels aren't going to get us very far.
Thinfilm CIGS panels coextruded in commercial flat roll roofing might be worthwhile though.
But where the real kickass is at, is in centralized solar thermal, ideally with heat storage.
Dish solar without storage though might be competitive for day-time power.
Geothermal, now that's just damned wonderful where you can get it. Better reliability than a coal plant, and it runs 24/7.
For instance, Geothermal provides more renewable energy to California than all the other renewable technologies combined, many times over.
And this is after you take into account that California has over 90% of US's solar electricity.
For instance, Google of course is getting in on the action trying to really kick this stuff into high gear.
I had an opertunity to do a cost benefit analysis on a solar panel for an office building about 6 months ago. The panel was state of the art, chosen by a government agency and promoted as the best of breed.
The output was rated at 1000 watts nominal.
The measured putput was 450 watts average duing the day.
The cost payback on this 28,000 dollar unit was 350 years using projected power costs.
Bottom line:
We could light the board room on sunny days for $28,000.
We decided there were more effective ways to make political statements.
We do have Geothermal heating however and that works ok. Not great, but ok and it's payback is somwhere before the building is due to be bulldozed at least.
There is hope however. A company in Ontario is about to release solar panels that are 48% efficient. Thats twice as good as the best available now.
And there is talk from a research team in Isreal about a solar conversion technology that is over 800 times more efficient than that.
One day it will be ready for prime time. Just not today.

Lawyer Volunteers
Lawyers who practice in Oswego County FREE* 2 Credit CLE Seminar
Sign up as a Pro Bono volunteer
Our purpose | Why is Pro Bono necessary? | Sign up and participation information | Forms and other resources | Frequently asked questions
Our purpose
The Honorable James C. Tormey, III created and Co-chaired the Fifth Judicial District Pro Bono Committee in 2005. The Committee developed a Plan called the "Fifth Judicial District Pro Bono Action Now Program" whose goal is to increase pro bono legal services for poor people throughout the district through the cooperative efforts of judges, lawyers, bar associations and legal services providers. To learn more about the inspiration for the Plan, see the section below "Why is Pro Bono necessary?".
The Committee would like to see that more of the legal needs of the indigent are met in the Fifth Judicial District. The ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct state that we should aim to provide at least 50 hours of Pro Bono legal services each year. The New York Lawyer's Code of Professional Responsibility describes the lawyer's "professional obligation to render public interest and pro bono service" and states that lawyers "should aspire to provide at least 20 hours of pro bono services annually".We hope that attorneys will realize how important their work is to indigent clients and find the work rewarding so that they will make Pro Bono a regular part of their practice of law.
Why is Pro Bono necessary?
The Administrative Board of the Courts created the post of Deputy Chief Administrative Judge for Justice Initiatives in 1999 and appointed Hon. Juanita Bing Newton to that position. Judge Bing Newton hosted a number of Pro Bono Convocations throughout New York state in order to determine how best to increase Pro Bono in New York. What follows is a portion of the Executive Summary of the report and recommendations that were the result of those Convocations:
The scope and complexity of New York's law and court structure make the assistance of a lawyer critical for obtaining civil justice. New York's one million households living in poverty cannot afford to hire a lawyer; moreover, the amount of free legal help available to them for their civil legal needs is wholly insufficient.
A study of the New York State Bar Association reported that New York's poor households experience an average of 2.37 unmet civil legal needs annually – a total of approximately 2.5 million legal problems for which no lawyer is available. Providing even a minimal amount of legal help for each of these legal problems would require many millions of hours of legal assistance.
How are these additional hours to be provided? Placing emphasis on educational programs and materials for those without a lawyer, while useful, has practical limitations and begs the fundamental unfairness of leaving the poor to fend for themselves in New York's challenging legal arenas. Moreover, while identifying sources of additional public and private funding for civil legal services continues to be essential, those efforts, however successful, are unlikely ever to raise sufficient funds to meet more than a relatively small percentage of the need.
Thus, it is important to consider whether and how New York State lawyers can increase their pro bono activity to serve the legal needs of poor New Yorkers. A statewide survey of the 2002 pro bono activities of the New York Bar found that 46% of New York's lawyers provided some pro bono service for the poor, with 54% providing no such service. Moreover, just 27% provided more than 20 hours of service – the amount recommended by the Administrative Board of the Courts in its 1997 Pro Bono Resolution.
In 2002, the New York State Unified Court System hosted four Pro Bono Convocations to brainstorm issues and develop tangible, feasible ideas and strategies for expanding pro bono service in New York. Judges, Bar leaders and other practicing attorneys, and legal educators from New York and elsewhere were among those participating in the Convocations.
From these Convocations the following findings emerged:
- A need exists to increase pro bono services in New York State
- A formal statewide initiative is necessary and desirable
- All stakeholders should be involved in the statewide program that is developed to expand pro bono
- The Judiciary should have a significant role in the statewide program, but local leadership, design, implementation and control are essential for a comprehensive and workable program
- Pro bono service should be voluntary.
Convocation recommendations include the following:
- Local pro bono action committees throughout New York State, supported by a statewide Standing Committee on Pro Bono, should develop local pro bono action plans.

It Has Been A Rough Year

"Little Brother"
Date Range:
01/24/2009 To 01/24/2009
Mikhail and Buddy, two of our more entertaining co-workers, were in the break room sharing nachos and bickering. As they are siblings who both live and work together, this is not an unusual occurrence.
Apparently, Mikhail had accidentally bought the wrong kind of Goldfish crackers when she went grocery shopping. While she was telling me about the funny encounter that she had in the grocery store, Buddy was simultaneously telling me that he hadn't eaten since lunch the previous day and it was all her fault. I assumed that the two stories were linked- maybe there was an explanation in the supermarket story for why he hadn't eaten.
As it turns out, there wasn't.
Mikhail (who is nearly four years younger than Buddy) cooks dinner for the two of them nearly every night. However, on this night she went to bed early, so she wasn't around to cook. Now keep in mind, Buddy is 22 years old and very capable of cooking for himself, or at the very least calling to order delivery. This is 2010, after all, and you can get about anything delivered to your door in thirty minutes or less. Did he cook? No. Did he call? No. And Mononna didn't think there was anything particularly unusual about that.
Ridiculous, right?
Fast forward a few days. I'm driving out to my little Brother's house. In the trunk: a case of water bottles, a chicken pot pie, salad, chips, a bottle of Jack, two dozen cookies, and other assorted groceries. Keep in mind that I don't live with my brother and haven't for sometime.
When I reached little Brother's house, I put away all of the groceries, fed his dog, put in a load of laundry for him, and wrote out very clear instructions so that his girlfriend could successfully cook the pot pie.
Also sort of ridiculous, right?
Except that I've been taking care of my brother for as long as I can remember. I helped with his homework, my germophobia kept our shared bathroom thoroughly clean and disinfected. I vacuumed every week and half time I threw his laundry in with mine. Caring for little Brother has always been something that I should do, rather than something that I want to do. Taking care of the men in my life is a duty that I have always fulfilled.
So why do we do it? Why do I, who is all about women's lib and independence, etc take care of my brother like he is a helpless child? It's clear that such treatment breeds laziness, as shown by Buddy's failure to feed himself.
I think that its a pretty common stereotype that men are "pigs". Most of my guy friends leave the hair in the sink when they shave, don't flush and never vacuum. But do they really forget to pick up after themselves? Is it laziness? Or does it not occur to them in the first place?
I always hear about the ways that women aren't treated equally and how women are unfairly stereotyped. But isn't this type of behavior (behavior that I was taught by my former hippie current yuppie mother) perpetuating the stereotypes? condoning the inequalities?
If a person is never required to do something for himself, why would he make a habit of it? Are we the mothers, sisters, friends, girlfriends who pick up after the slobs in our lives merely helping? Or are we teaching and reinforcing bad habits?
Am I, in a way, responsible for my brother's slovenly ways?

Enter through the stone pillars marked Hiddenbrooke. Walk along the paved road, passing by the open fields, streams and forests that give this place its beauty and character. Although lying at the foot of the mountain, the land is mainly gently sloped and easily accessible.
The park adjoins a Carmelite Monastery. Please observe the signs and respect the privacy of the Sisters.
Riverfront Park
With the River Pool, a playground, and volleyball, tennis, and basketball courts, this park extending into the Hudson just north of the Beacon train station welcomes those looking to break a sweat. The scenic setting is also perfect for fishing, a family dinner using one of the barbeque pits and picnic tables, or simply ruminating in the grass as the river rolls by. Festivals throughout the year celebrating everything from strawberries to corn to pumpkin make it a place of community, too.
Memorial Park
With pavilions, wooded picnic areas, lighted softball fields and a seriously well-equipped playground, this is your classic town park. It's also the place for a spring carnival and summer fireworks.
South Avenue Park
Tucked in at the corner of 9D and South Avenue, this is the park for serious hoopsters, with plenty of league action drawing crowds of spectators and players in the warmer months, and pick-up games throughout the year. For those who prefer to hit a ball over the net rather than swish one through it, there are shaded tennis courts here as well.
Green Street Park
This little gem nestled in the middle of a residential neighborhood at the foot of Mt. Beacon features picnic tables under a pavilion, a basketball court, and a great playground for kids.
Beacon Point Park
Scenic Hudson has rehabilitated the shoreline off Long Dock Road, putting in boulders and stone steps to stabilize the beach, benches, and a new boardwalk leading to the sculpture pier created by artist George Trakas.
There are plans in the works to increase the size of this park by another six acres.

San Antonio makes lone trip to Detroit
- Teams: San Antonio Spurs (39-11) at Detroit Pistons (18-32)
- Date: February 8, 2013
- Time: 7:30 p.m.
- Television: FSD
What to look for
The San Antonio Spurs will be making their lone appearance at the Palace of Auburn Hills tonight and might be without the services of Tim Duncan (knee, ankle) and Manu Ginobili (hamstring) when they try to stretch their 11-game winning streak to 12.
Let's make this clear: the Spurs are not better without Duncan and Ginobili, but boy are they still impressive and fun to watch.
What San Antonio lacks in terms of highlight packages, they make up for with simple and yet beautiful basketball execution.
It's in fact almost comical how the Spurs attack their opponents' weaknesses.
Where they might force one team to defend multiple options on a given play, they might toy with a poor defensive squad simply by running their basic stuff and still confuse the heck out of their rotations.
For instance, Tony Parker will run a simple pick-and-roll with Tiago Splitter and hit him on the roll for an easy basket at the rim. Per MySynergySports, the Spurs' roll men are converting 56 percent of their field goals in the pick-and-roll, which typically results in opposing teams shading their defenders to the paint to converge on the rolling big man to take away that option.
But San Antonio is smart.
If teams converge in the paint, Parker will pass the ball to the player at the wing who will then swing it to the open player for the corner 3-pointer (his man was the one that crashed down the paint to help out on the big man that rolled to the basket).
But NBA teams are smart and make adjustments right?
Well, Greg Poppovich teams are usually a step ahead of their opponents.
Should opponents alter their defensive coverage of the pick-and-roll and decide to still send the same perimeter player to converge on the roller in the paint, the player defending the first pass recipient (the player on the wing that receives the first pass from Parker and swings it to his teammate in the corner) will have to make the decision of helping a little in the paint and then running back out to his man or the player in the corner depending on which is the better shooter.
But again, San Antonio's coaching staff is smart enough to always put players on the court that have the ability to handle the ball a little but more importantly shoot it. Thus, whichever perimeter player ends up with the ball open behind the arc is typically a good if not great open shooter. Indeed, according to MySynergySports, Gary Neal and his teammates convert 39.5 percent of their spot up 3-point field goals.
And just for good measure, Tony Parker might keep the ball and go all the way to the basket or take the open mid-range jumper.
As scary as this type of offensive execution is for the 29 other teams in the Association, we are only talking about their pick-and-roll options here. The Spurs have a host of other sets and plays that they will run specifically to pick on an opponent's weakness.
Take the Minnesota Timberwolves as an example.
Pop had Parker bring the ball up the court, pass it to Boris Diaw, who ran the offense from the top off the floor. Then, Tony Parker essentially became the Boston version of Ray Allen; running Ricky Rubio through screens and dictating when and where he wanted to catch the ball for an open jumper.
This type of impressive offensive execution is part of the reason that San Antonio owns the fourth best offensive efficiency in the league, scoring 106.7 points per 100 possessions. And keep in mind, even when the Big Fundamental has been either in street clothes or on the bench, the Spurs have still produced 105 points per 100 possessions according to NBA.com's advanced stats tool.
The Pistons will have their work cut out for them tonight and will have to not only play hard, but also play smart to make things difficult for the road team and possibly pull out the victory.

He's expected to make a full recovery. So if he doesn't start this year, he will very likely do so next season.

High-pressure common rail systems for heavy-duty diesel engines meet Euro VI standard
At the same event, Delphi also revealed its new common rail system for small, one to four cylinder diesel engines, including non-automotive applications. This concept system aims at heavily downsized applications and developing markets.
A combination of highly efficient injector design, configurable pump layout and sophisticated air and fuel control strategies has provided a highly-flexible, modular solution for large engines between 7 and 16 litres displacement.
Delphi's new heavy-duty common rail system will be available in three configurations: two Distributed Pump Common Rail Systems (DPCRS), in which the pressure is provided by a number of separate pumping units, and a Remote Pump Common Rail System (RPCRS), which is similar to traditional common rail layouts. Running initially at 2700bar injection pressure, the technology is capable of operating at up to 3000bar to meet the requirements of future legislation, beyond EuroVI, that might limit the permissible CO2 emissions from heavy commercial vehicles. Delphi has been working on the Euro VI systems since 2005.
For Delphi, Euro VI represents evolution, not revolution," said David Draper, engineering director, Delphi Heavy-Duty Diesel Systems. We have substantial experience with very high pressures and already manufacture some of the most sophisticated control valves available. Combining this with innovative new architectures and control systems has allowed us to significantly reduce the cost of EuroVI compliance for our customers while continuing to improve fuel economy and CO2 emissions.

[Read Dr. Scult's intro first.]
Every time I preach a sermon, the substance of which I had given to the men in the sermon seminar, I realize how much more difficult it is to speak from the pulpit than to teach in class. The more important the idea expounded, the greater the difference in the amount of care that has to be given to the development and illustration of it.
When I had distributed to the men at the sermon seminar the outline on How to Seek God, I was sure that I could give a repeat performance of it from the S.A.J. pulpit on Rosh Hashanah, without giving it any more thought.
When the time came for preaching it approached, and I looked over the notes, I realized that, while it succeeded in driving home the thought that we must look to those traits in man which are reflected in the divine attributes of Avinu Malkeynu, Moshiyenu [Heb. Our father our King, our savior ] to give us a sense of the reality of God, and that those traits are still only inchoate and that God is therefore to be sought in the future of man, I had not indicated how we can recognize godhood or divinity when we so experience it.
The need for answering that question led me to discover again, but this time with greater clarity than ever, that the moment we transcend our own egos and identify ourselves with one other person we are on the way toward God. God is thus the reality experienced as we-consciousness, in the same way as the self or soul is the reality experienced as I- or self-consciousness.
But, and this is the most important fact to reckon with, just as the true self or soul is rarely identified or experienced, because of our tendency to treat some particular drives or impulses and their satisfaction as constituting our true self or soul, so we mistakenly regard as the experience of godhood any one of the many self-identifications with others, with family, friends, city, state, nation or class, stopping short, far from the limits of mankind as a whole. All these experiences are valuable as on the way to God, but misleading and a source of evil, when considered as the reality of God. That is fundamentally the implication of the unity of God as proclaimed in our Shema.
Kaplan was tireless in helping his students even after they became rabbis. Every summer he conducted sermon seminars for Conservative rabbis in order to help them with their High Holiday preaching. He would give them ideas which they discussed together.
Here we see Kaplan being like the rest of us in thinking he can take his notes from the seminars after the passage of a month and simply use them to deliver a Rosh Ha-shannah sermon he had worked on before. Perhaps more importantly , he shares with us a thought from the sermon, that the connections we make with the other are the route to the divine. This thought is much more familiar from Buber or Levinas than from Kaplan but here it is simply and powerfully stated. Kaplan goes beyond the identification with the other and cautions us to remember that such identification is only the beginning of our search for the divine.
We might also note the last paragraph where Kaplan implores us to continue our search for the divine beyond the highest ethical ideals we hold.
