The nation of Norway was an especially unlikely setting for a shooting rampage that left at least 85 dead. The country of 4.9 million residents has one of the lowest per-capita homicide rates in Europe.
Interestingly, however, gun ownership is relatively common in Norway, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Gun ownership in Norway is common, although strict gun regulations and limitations are in place on ammunition for certain kinds of guns.
According to GunPolicy.org, an Australian university-based website, the estimated number of guns held by civilians in Norway was 1.4 million in 2007, the most recent year for which the site has such statistics for Norway.
Citing the "Small Arms Survey 2007: Guns and the City," published by Cambridge University Press, the website give the rate of private gun ownership in Norway as 31.32 firearms per 100 people[.]
In the wake of a shooting, after the initial shock and sorrow subside, two reactions predictably emerge — calls for greater civility in discourse and calls for greater gun control. Such was the case, at least, after Jared Lee Loughner shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in January.
And, indeed, some have already begun to criticize the rhetoric in Europe that has supposedly contributed to the sort of climate of hate that would prompt someone to release fire as at Oslo:
The attacks in Oslo on Friday have riveted new attention on right-wing extremists not just in Norway but across Europe, where opposition to Muslim immigrants, globalization, the power of the European Union and the drive toward multiculturalism has proven a potent political force and, in a few cases, a spur to violence.
The success of populist parties appealing to a sense of lost national identity has brought criticism of minorities, immigrants and in particular Muslims out of the beer halls and Internet chat rooms and into mainstream politics. While the parties themselves generally do not condone violence, some experts say a climate of hatred in the political discourse has encouraged violent individuals.
"I'm not surprised when things like the bombing in Norway happen, because you will always find people who feel more radical means are necessary," said Joerg Forbrig, an analyst at the German Marshall Fund in Berlin who has studied far-right issues in Europe. "It literally is something that can happen in a number of places and there are broader problems behind it."
Perhaps the calls for increased gun regulations are not far behind. Both reactions are understandable. Natural to want to make sense of senseless violence and even more natural to want to forestall it by tempering tongues and enacting obstacles to gun ownership. But we must not seek solutions where they will not be found.
On some level, perhaps the wisest course is to remain a while longer in the spell of shock and grief that evil casts, allow ourselves to feel the full extent of its horror — precisely so we will realize that no carefully crafted words, no perfectly strategized policy will ever eliminate it entirely. Perhaps in that realization we will then awaken to a new realization — that evil will only fully and finally be overcome by something greater than ourselves.
Update: This post originally misidentified Rep. Gabby Giffords as a Republican.

When viewed from a new angle, a different scale, or in a slightly different light, even something as familiar as the human body can look utterly alien. Case in point: these stunning anatomical illustrations, created by biomedical artist Alexandra Baker, which showcase the various nooks and crannies of the human form in all their otherworldly glory.
Illustrations like these represent science art at its finest, in that they're not only stunning but instructive — and to anyone unfamiliar with human anatomy, they bring the added bonus of looking utterly, beautifully strange (just ask any first year med student enrolled in gross anatomy lab). Part of this obviously has to do with the fact that human physiology is just plain fascinating, but Baker's depictions, in particular, really stuck out to us. We've included some examples of her work below, but you'll find much more at COROFLOT, and at her biomedial visualization company, DNA Illustrations.

StoryCorps will be coming to the Asheville office of MemoryCare today to record the life stories of people there who are experiencing memory loss.
The people at MemoryCare and their family members will have the opportunity to talk about the impact of memory loss.
With participants' permission, the stories will be archived in the Library of Congress with abbreviated versions of the interviews posted for listening on the Internet at www.storycorps.net. Some may be edited for national broadcast on National Public Radio's Morning Edition.
The weekly StoryCorps radio feature, heard Friday mornings on WCQS-88.1 FM, has a loyal following because of the warmth and humanity that comes through the unscripted conversations.
"Alzheimer's and other memory disorders put tremendous stress on family relationships, but they also lead people to reexamine their past and their relationships, and find new meaning and understanding about how valuable our memories truly are," said Dr. Virginia Templeton, Associate Director of MemoryCare.
"People share with us amazing stories about their lives," Templeton said.
"This is an exciting opportunity for them to share these stories not just in our clinic but with our community, and with the nation. The strain and loss people face with memory loss may come through, but so will the incredible strength, humor, and dignity."
To support and encourage people with memory loss to share their stories, StoryCorps launched a special Memory Loss Initiative in 2006.
MemoryCare will join in this national effort to collect stories as part of that initiative.
MemoryCare provides integrated medical care and support services to older adults with memory disorders and their families. MemoryCare is a nonprofit charitable organization at 100 Far Horizons Lane in south Asheville.
At MemoryCare, families receive education, counseling, and improved access to necessary services as they care for loved ones with memory loss.
"By partnering with StoryCorps, we know we will help preserve special memories and stories, but we also hope to increase the awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other memory disorders, and the need to support those affected by it," Templeton said.

"When I first came to Hong Kong, I was slightly amused and on occasion turned off by the wild color schemes used to paint many of the buildings. I was vaguely reminded of cartoons: pink, red, yellow, green, orange, as if to camouflage the true nature of what was going on inside." —Michael Wolf
Aperture is pleased to offer this very special limited-edition photograph from Architecture of Density, one of the artist's best-known earlier series.
One of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the world, Hong Kong has an overall density of nearly 6,700 people per square kilometer. The majority of its citizens live in apartments in high-rise buildings. In Architecture of Density, Wolf investigates these vibrant city blocks, finding a mesmerizing abstraction in the buildings' facades. Here Wolf examines residential housing complexes which are tightly packed together to accommodate the population—nearly seven million people living on 426 square miles.
Photographed from opposing buildings with direct vantage points, he removes all reference to sky and horizon line, flattening the space until it becomes, in the words of curator Natasha Egan, "a relentless abstraction of urban expansion, with no escape for the viewer's eye."
Wolf juxtaposes the work in Architecture of Density with that of his series 100 x 100—to explore Hong Kong from the inside as well as the outside, the living spaces of the people who in this dense metropolis and the buildings that house them. The work was published in a two-volume slipcased set Michael Wolf: Hong Kong Inside Outside (2009).
Michael Wolf (born in Munich, 1954) grew up in the United States and studied at UC Berkeley and with Otto Steinert at the University of Essen in Germany. His books include Sitting in China (2002), Hong Kong, Front Door/Back Door (2005), and The Transparent City (Museum of Contemporary Photography/Aperture, 2008). Wolf lives and works in Hong Kong and Paris.

With class, homework and other responsibilities, finding the time and money to take a partner out on a date is tough, but with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART), students can find cheap — yet impressive — date ideas locally.
Students of the Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) who are taking six credit hours or more have access to a free transportation pass that lasts an entire semester.
If a student does not qualify, DART offers a reduced day pass for only $2.50. With either of these passes, students are given the opportunity to explore a wide variety of interesting areas in Dallas.
There are many potential date spots throughout the city. Options range from cozy cafes known for their comfort food and quirky dish names to eclectic eateries known for their deliciously seasoned entrees.
Restaurants are not the only date spots that DART can help students travel to, however. There are also beautiful shopping districts filled with unique shops.
Below is a list of popular pockets of the Dallas area that can be traveled to using DART:
For those who have a sweet tooth, Glazed Donut Works, located in Deep Ellum, offers delicious, delectable and creatively crafted donuts. This little bakery has late hours, so it is a perfect spot for a weekend outing. It is open Thursdays from 9 p.m. to midnight, Fridays and Saturdays from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This cozy diner, located in Dallas, offers a plethora of quirky options on its menu, such as the Griddle Toast Tooty Fruity and the ever-popular "Drink Till You Buzz" coffee bar, which are both available 24 hours. Yes, this diner is open 24 hours, which makes for a perfect late dinner or hot drink spot after a long date.
Located in Mockingbird Station, the Angelika Film Center & Café is a great option for students who love movies. Every Tuesday, the theater offers discounted tickets for students and complimentary popcorn. Students must present their student I.D. to the box office for their discount and free popcorn.
Students who are fans of live jazz music and interactive exhibits would love the event that the Dallas Museum of Art hosts every third Friday of every month called "Late Nights at the Dallas Museum of Art."
For only $10, students can have access to hundreds of experiences that the museum has to offer, including readings, film screenings, tours and more.
For students who are open to trying ethnic food, Pho Crimson offers a warm, eclectic atmosphere and uniquely crafted Vietnamese cuisine.
There is a wide variety of menu options ranging from lightly flavored to spicy dishes. Located in the Uptown Dallas shopping district, Pho Crimson is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
If students are interested in a night out on the town, Mockingbird Station is a beautiful shopping district filled with vintage clothing, jewelry and an extensive selection of eateries.
It is open Monday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The DART Go-Pass offered to students has already benefitted many. Ishan Gibran, a student of North Lake College (NLC), said, "It's making life so much easier. DART is my primary mode of transport every day. With this, I am saving so much money."
DART helps students save money on gas and parking. The NLC train station is conveniently located on campus and opens the door to many adventures that can be shared with loved ones.

(CNN) -- As if dealing with the impact of devastating storm surges, drenching rains and potent winds weren't hard enough, hundreds of thousands in New York and northern New Jersey battled a new adversary Saturday night: the cold.
The National Weather Service forecast temperatures would dip into the 30s in Belle Harbor, New York, and Cape May, New Jersey. And even after the sun rises Sunday, residents may be lucky if the thermostat tops 50 degrees.
For many, keeping warm isn't simply a matter of turning on the heat, after Superstorm Sandy knocked out gas lines and electricity. Some 2.4 million people had no power for a fifth straight day Saturday, their patience running low, along with the temperatures.
Several residents in the Rockaways, in Queens, vented their frustrations at New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg as he toured the area Saturday. One woman yelled, "When are we going to get some help!" while a man talked about "old ladies in my building who have got nothing."
Supplementing and, in some cases, dissatisfied with the government response, neighbors and volunteers from afar to hard-hit areas Saturday to offer food, clothing and whatever else to those who are still cold and hungry.
"We covered two children with a blanket freezing and shivering here trying to get food last night," Rockaway resident Lauren O'Connor told CNN affiliate NY1. "We said we had to do something."
Official: Sandy-stricken areas will vote 'come hell or high water'
At a Saturday news conference, Bloomberg admitted he'd encountered many who were "worried and frustrated and cold" and urged those without electricity to go to a shelter or find another "warm place" to stay.
"Please, I know sometimes people are reticent to take advantage of services -- the cold really is something that is dangerous," he said.
For all the continued problems, however, many residents and officials also could point to progress Saturday. More public transit services were back running, fewer people were out of power, and even the days-long gas shortage showed signs of abating.
"We need to continue to focus now on the next phase -- returning to normalcy," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said restoring electricity is the top priority, reiterating Saturday that his state will hold utilities accountable if they weren't prepared for Sandy. More than 835,000 customers were in the dark statewide by mid-afternoon.
One of New York's top utilities, Con Edison, has restored power to all but 270,000 of its initially 940,000 customers affected by the storm, Senior Vice President John Miksad said. Bloomberg praised that company, while blasting the Long Island Power Authority -- which services the Rockaway peninsula -- for not having "acted aggressively enough."
"We realize that LIPA has outages throughout Long Island, but the Rockaways were the hardest hit by the storm," he said, adding that the utility indicated it could take two weeks to restore power there. "When it comes to prioritizing resources, we think they should be first in line. So far that has not appeared to be the case, and that is certainly not acceptable."
LIPA did not immediately respond Saturday night to CNN requests for comment on the mayor's criticism. But the utility's official Twitter feed was active, with promises of extra crews and that 90% of its customers should have power by late Wednesday.
Both Bloomberg and Cuomo praised the Metropolitan Transportation Authority for restoring 80% of subway services in New York City. The mayor said it should be up to 90% by Sunday.
"Not only did they try hard, but they got it done," Cuomo said.
Powering cars and trucks is another issue, as evidenced by long lines at gas stations around the region.
Christie noted that about 70% of gas stations from Interstate 195 and points north weren't operating Saturday -- not necessarily because they did not have gas, but because they couldn't pump it due to power outages. (By comparison, about 95% of stations south of Interstate 195 were working, he said.)
In Suffolk County on New York's Long Island, Leah Cepeda-Winfield said people were sleeping in their cars around 3 a.m. Saturday, trying to be first in line once the pumps reopened. About eight hours later, lines were still about a quarter-mile long.
"It seems that these long lines are everywhere you go," said Cepeda-Winfield, a CNN iReporter.
Still, a concerted effort in recent days to address the gas shortage appears to have yielded some positive results. Whereas the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported no gas in 67% of metropolitan New York stations on Friday, the federal agency estimated that figure plummeted to 38% on Saturday.
In addition to other sources again flowing into the region, the federal government announced Friday night it would deliver 12 million gallons of unleaded gas and 10 million gallons of diesel to dispense around the hard-hit region. Such fuel had already arrived at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and was being shipped out to stations, Christie said Saturday.
The governor also singled out Hess, based in Woodbridge, New Jersey, for distributing gas to rival companies whose stations had run dry.
"That's what New Jersey is all about," he said.
Drivers in New York City and Long Island, meanwhile, were able beginning Saturday to fill up directly from 5,000-gallon fuel trucks moving around the area.
Plus, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a temporary waiver of the Jones Act, allowing oil tankers from the Gulf of Mexico to enter northeastern ports.
On Saturday, officials cheered developments on several fronts. With one small exception, the Port of New York and New Jersey is now open to all vessels, the Coast Guard said. All water has been removed from the once-flooded World Trade Center work site, said Cuomo. Nearly $28 million in federal disaster emergency grants have been allocated across nine counties, the governor added.
Migration to coast heightens impact of storms
Still, as millions can attest, headaches and heartache from Sandy persist.
The 900-mile-wide superstorm left a huge swath of damage when it hit the Northeast this week, claiming at least 106 lives in the United States and two in Canada after earlier killing 67 around the Caribbean.
Worst-hit New York state suffered 48 deaths, including 41 in New York City, authorities said. Twenty of those were in Staten Island.
As communities grapple with the human toll, the price of the damage is stunning: between $30 billion and $50 billion, according to disaster modeling firm Eqecat. That far exceeds the firm's pre-storm estimate of $20 billion.
The region may be in for more bad weather, with a weaker storm predicted for next week. But Christie, for one, isn't ready for that quite yet.
"I know there are some forecasts of a Nor'easter next week," the governor said. "I can't believe it."

Golden Gate Park 4/20 pot festivities a hit with happy horde
The 21-year-old took a long drag off a cigar-size joint and exhaled, a white cloud of smoke floating around his head.
Sunday marked his second year attending 4/20, an informal marijuana-focused festival of thousands on Hippie Hill in Golden Gate Park, and Nathan - "just Nathan" - had traveled from Salinas to be part of the communal partaking of cannabis.
"Everyone is so nice," he said, taking another drag, adding that it was fortuitously Easter, albeit an untraditional acknowledgment of it. "Everyone is coming together to celebrate something."
While the vibe in the park was for the most part mellow, city and park officials were keeping a wary eye on the event. They didn't care about the cannabis. They cared about the clogged streets, illegally parked cars and mounds of trash.
There were several arrests by late afternoon, according to reports.
Last year, the crowds left 10,000 pounds of garbage in their wake and created at-a-standstill traffic jams as the revelers flooded the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood.
Supervisor London Breed said she didn't want to be a "buzzkill." But Breed, whose district includes the Haight and the park area, didn't want a repeat of last year's chaos and two-day cleanup.
She noted that smoking anything in any city park is illegal, but San Francisco has a tradition of turning a blind eye to infractions for official or unofficial events.
City officials said they would be cracking down on several violations, including structures or canopies, amplified sound, alcoholic beverages, tree climbing, fires, and peddling or vending without a permit.
Lenient attitude
Yet Hippie Hill and Sharon Meadow below it were covered in canopies, with speakers blaring music, bottles and cans of beer everywhere, an occasional tree climber, several barbecues, and dozens if not hundreds of people selling a range of regular and "medicinal" items.
"Lollipops (laced with cannabis), two for $5," one entrepreneurial woman yelled. "Joints for $2."
"Chili cheese Cheetos, Doritos, Fritos," yelled a man selling the straight snacks. "I got it right here. Fritos. Cheetos. Boom!"
So many people were selling pot cookies, pot brownies, pot cupcakes and other bacchanalian treats that sales were pretty slow, many of the impromptu vendors said.
"I'm pretty baked, so it's slow going," one sucker-selling woman said.
Yet there was no visible police presence in the meadow or on the hill.
"Ultimately, we want people to enjoy the park peacefully," said Connie Chan, spokeswoman for the Recreation and Park Department.
Elias Pizano, 29, drove from Modesto and arrived at the meadow at 6:30 a.m., a car-size beach ball in tow.
"It's like a celebration," he said. "Everybody is happy."
No place to go
That was arguably an overstatement. Among those not happy: people who needed a potty break in the midst of the pot smoking.
Because it was a non-sanctioned event, there weren't any portable bathrooms on hand, just a few stalls in permanent park bathrooms and a plethora of trees and bushes to accommodate the 10,000 or so revelers.
Similar events were taking place in other cities across the state and country, each hitting its peak at 4:20 p.m. with a shared communal high.
Yet the celebration comes as San Francisco and the state continue to grapple with the issue of relaxed laws on marijuana. In San Francisco earlier this month, the City Planning Commission approved restrictions to limit the growth of cannabis dispensaries in the Ocean Avenue neighborhood.
California voted to legalize medical marijuana in 1996. But Gov. Jerry Brown said recently he is watching closely to see how Colorado and Washington handle new laws that regulate the growth and sale of taxed recreational marijuana at state-licensed stores.
In San Francisco, officials were more focused Sunday on keeping the temporary cardboard trash cans from overflowing and traffic moving around neighboring streets.
Barriers prevented cars from entering the park and from accessing Haight Street.
Trash collectors
And a handful of park workers on overtime pay mingled with the crowd, picking up trash.
As 4:20 p.m. approached, however, trash started to dot the hillside and meadow, despite the numerous recycling and landfill boxes spaced about 30 feet apart.
Along the pathway at the bottom of Hippie Hill, where revelers were shoulder to shoulder, vendors Alicia, 30, and Patrick, 34 - no last names given - held up sizable $5 peanut-butter chocolate-chip cookies, each containing an estimated half-gram of marijuana. They had few takers.
"We're not coming back next year," said Patrick, adding they had come from Stockton. "Too much of a hassle."
Behind them was a cooler filled with most of the 150 individually vacuum-packed cookies they had made.
"We're gonna end up eating and passing out whatever's left," Patrick said with a shrug.

@article {Moeller-etal2011catena, title = {Plausibility test of conceptual soil maps using relief parameters}, journal = {Catena}, volume = {88}, year = {2012}, pages = {57-67}, abstract = {
The motivation for this article results from the fact that conceptual soil maps show oftentimes inaccuracies with regard to soil unit boundaries or misfits between original paper and actual soil-related information. Using the example of a German conceptual soil map (CSM), we introduce a procedure which could be considered as a framework for testing the terrain-related plausibility applied within a genetic based soil-ordering system. Framework means that all tests and the underlying methods can be adapted to specific targets. The procedure enables both reproducible integration of expert knowledge and application of statistically sound methods. The CSM of the German Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt was tested regarding the plausibility of colluvial and fluvial process domains. The plausibility test consists of four steps and was exemplified on a study area of 100 km2. First, basic relief parameters were combined to the explaining relief parameters Floodplain Index (FPI) and Mass Balance Index (MBI) enabling a classification of process domains by relative descriptions. Second, relief parameters and aggregated CSM soil units were integrated to soil-terrain objects (STO) executing a region-growing segmentation algorithm. In the third step, the one-dimensional MBI or FPI feature space of STO entities were clustered by using the K-means algorithm. The fourth step comprises the expert-based selection of reference clusters (RC) representing colluvial and fluvial process domains accepted as being true. Then, empirical cumulative distribution functions (ECDF) of RC and remaining soil unit-related STO clusters were compared by a traditional goodness-of-fit test whose suitability for estimation of terrain-related CSM plausibility is shown. Finally, the resulting ECDF distances were visualized. The testing procedure could also be used for the supervised selection of appropriate samples for automatic classification algorithms. The data integration approach is generally suitable for adopting existing data in computer-based systems.}, keywords = {Cluster analysis, Digital soil mapping, Expert knowledge, Kolmogorov Smirnov test, Segmentation, terrain analysis}, doi = {10.1016/j.catena.2011.08.002}, author = {M{\"o}ller, M. and Koschitzki, T. and Hartmann, K.-J. and Jahn, R.} }

Good Bye A. L.
June 22, 2007
Tough loss last night, especially after the Phillies regained the lead against C. C. Sabathia, one of the top pitchers in the game.
The Phillies finished 2-4 against the two best teams (Detroit/Cleveland) in the AL Central. They are the two best offensive clubs in that league and that's why they are dueling for the division title. The Phillies could have easily been 4-2. Bullpen inconsistency led to two of the four losses.
There is a silver lining in last night's game, two hitless, scoreless innings by Geoff Geary. He's struggled lately which any pitcher or hitter can do. Geary is a very important part of the bullpen.
So, it is good-bye to the AL and back to the NL starting tomorrow night in St. Louis. The Phillies need to regroup and avoid the other trip to Missouri a couple of weekends ago. In case you forgot, the Phillies lost two of three to the Royals.
The Cardinals are really scuffling, partially because of numerous injuries. But, they are still the defending World Champions.
Last night's defeat registered 9,990 in the history of the Phillies. Ten more creates a milestone that has never been reached by any other sports franchise. Get ready for some dandy media coverage, including two biggies, Sports Illustrated and USA TODAY.
Today's History Lesson
Established in 1883, the Phillies are the oldest, continuous, one-name, one-city franchise in American professional sports (although the team briefly used alternate nicknames in some years).
Of the eight teams in the National League in 1883, only three other franchises have been in the league as long as the Phillies, Chicago, New York (San Francisco) and Boston (Milwaukee-Atlanta). Before you ask, no, I wasn't around in 1883!
Because of the Phillies longevity, they have played more games, won more games, lost more games and attracted more fans (over 115 million) than any other sports franchise in this city. No team will catch us.
The Phillies been a Philadelphia institution longer than Philadelphia University, Temple University, Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, Philadelphia Suburban Water Co., Sunoco, Inc., The Racquet Club of Philadelphia and Goldenberg Candy Co.
Moving Up
Carlos Carrasco, the 20-year-old right-handed pitching prospect, has been promoted from Clearwater to double-A Reading.
His Clearwater numbers for 12 starts: 6-2, 2.84 ERA, 69.2 innings, 49 hits, 22 walks, 53 strikeouts; opponents batted .199. His two June starts: 1-0, 1 run in 17 innings with 15 strikeouts.
A year ago he was the Paul Owens Award winner as the best pitcher in the Phillies minor league system. He's headed for a repeat.
He's making his AA debut tonight at Reading.
Carrasco and Lakewood 2B Adrian Cardenas have been selected to the July 8 XM Satellite Radio All-Star Futures Game in San Francisco. Carrasco will be on the World Rostes; Carednas, the USA Roster.

Would you like a clutter free way to save all the work your child comes home with. Will look no further. Artkive is an app that lets you take a picture of your child's work, save it, categorize it and at the end of the year you can make a photo book of a whole years work. No need to save every piece of work that comes home. Is that not amazing! I have started using it and love it. It is a free app that you can download here.

Liberty on a Disk
To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Liberty Fund has just produced an amazing item — The Portable Library of Liberty, a single DVD containing the complete texts of more than 1000 books, audio interviews with 26 great scholars, and more. And it's free for the asking!
Just take a look at what you could be carrying in your laptop:
1,001 full text titles in PDF format, self‐contained and searchable. They are organized by titles, subject areas, and topics. Highlights include the complete scholarly editions of the works of Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill; the collected works of Jefferson, Madison, John Adams, & many others; and 166 full‐text books published by Liberty Fund.
works by hundreds of authors from Ancient Sumeria to the present, organized by people, periods, and schools of thought, such as the French Enlightenment, the Founding Fathers, 19th century natural rights theorists, the Austrian School of Economics, and many others.
audio interviews with 26 leading scholars from the Intellectual Portrait Series: Conversations with Leading Classical Liberal Figures of Our Time and 7 lectures on The Legacy of Friedrich Hayek.
a collection of Quotations about Liberty & Power which is a compilation of all the quotes of the week that have appeared on the front page of the Online Library of Liberty since its inception.
My initial response was, if all that stuff is on the web, then why do you need a DVD? And I guess there are two answers to that: First, there are people around the world who have computers but not regular internet access. Liberty Fund officers say that a typical request is something like "I am a masters student in economics at the national university in Bangladesh. Thanks for making this available to me. We do not have these titles in our library. Can I make another copy to give to my friends?"
And second, there are times that all of us could access a DVD but not the internet, such as on flights.
So — at the low, low cost of … nothing, it's truly an amazing deal. Order yours today. Or you could wait for the 6th edition later this year, when all the titles will be in the new ePub format for even easier reading on portable devices. The pace of progress quickens!

SEC M5: 02.01.13 EditionPosted by DPerry on February 1st, 2013
- Frank Haith has had a rough month. Questions over his job security in the wake of violations at Miami have been festering, and his Missouri Tigers, previously ranked in the top 10, were in free fall after heavy losses to Ole Miss and Florida. But forward Laurence Bowers' return would solve the latter problem at least, right? Wrong. Missouri lost to LSU in Baton Rouge, and Haith is not amused. "We have no toughness in the first half; we have no resolve," Haith said. "It's disappointing. It's really extremely disappointing. Guys are tending to do their own thing when the game's getting tight or there's adversity." Star point guard Phil Pressey, despite finally finding his scoring touch, should shoulder as much of the blame as anyone. The Wooden Award nominee has become a gunner from long-range, and missed a hurried effort (one of his 8 3-point misses on the night) late in the game when Missouri had been steadily coming back. "We (had been) driving the ball, and we needed to keep driving the ball," Haith said, noting there was plenty of time left. "We said that in timeouts." The Tigers are 0-4 in true road games this season.
- "They're real good." -Frank Martin. He was talking, of course, about Florida, right after his Gamecocks succumbed to a nearly 40-point loss at their hands. The Gators, sporting a 7-0 conference record with a point differential of over 28, are making a mockery of the SEC. They've beaten up on the bottom of the league, but the sheer dominance of their victories, not to mention the shellacking of 17th-ranked Missouri, indicates that weak opposition isn't the only explanation for their success. Florida isn't unbeatable, but their balanced offense (the nation's 4th most efficient) is somewhat of a safeguard against an unexpected upset. Four players average more than 11.0 points a game, and a fifth (Scottie Wilbekin), was just named SEC Player of the Week. Even if the odds are defied and every Gator has an off shooting night, coach Billy Donovan can just fall back on the 2nd best defense in the country. Your move SEC.
- Tennessee will be likely be shorthanded for their trip to Fayetteville this weekend. Junior guard Trae Golden suffered an injury to his right hamstring late in the Volunteers victory over Vanderbilt and is unlikely to recover by Saturday. "It's tough for our team," Vols head coach Cuonzo Martin said. "I thought he had really been assertive (lately) with the ball. So it's tough for our team, but more importantly, it's tough for Trae. He wants to be out there. He's upset about it. But we have to keep moving." Hometown walk-on Brandon Lopez should be the next in line to pick up the slack for Golden. The early scouting report on him features a lot of the standard buzzwords for walk-ons, so any offensive output will be a bonus. Arkansas' up-tempo style and the loss of Golden puts points at a premium, so the Volunteers will have to count on Jordan McRae rediscovering his shooting stroke and Jarnell Stokes continuing his recent offensive resurgence.
- As if having 12 of your shots blocked by one person wasn't painful enough, the hits keep on coming for Ole Miss in the aftermath of their loss to Kentucky. Reserve forward Aaron Jones suffered a torn ACL while senior guard Nick Williams re-aggravated a foot injury. Jones is obviously done for the year, while there is no timetable for Willams' return. This represents a serious blow to the Rebels' depth, affording coach Andy Kennedy no game time to adjust his rotation before traveling to Gainesville this weekend. Freshman Derrick Millinghaus, who has seen his minutes dwindle since the start of conference play, should see more time, while classmate Terry Brutus seems like the best bet to contribute a few minutes in the paint.
- I said a few months ago that we wouldn't mention this guy on this microsite again, but circumstances are forcing my hand. Big Blue Nation favorite and apparent troll Billy Gillispie will be in attendance for Kentucky's trip to College Station this weekend. In response to Texas A&M coach Billy Kennedy's invite, Gillispie said "Actually, I'm playing golf [in College Station] on Friday. I said, 'Who are y'all playing Saturday?' They said, 'Kentucky,' and so I said, 'I think I'll go.' But it's no big deal." Kentucky players will be focused on stopping Aggie guard Elston Turner, who scored 40 in his trip to Rupp Arena, but Wildcat fans will certainly be paying attention to an individual on the sideline. Expect one of ESPN's cameras to be attached to Billy, treatment usually reserved at Kentucky games for Ashley Judd.

This weekend, the Mozart Festival Texas (presented by the University of the Incarnate Word) will feature two programs. The Saturday night orchestral concert is titled Sturm und Drang.. This term is usually translated as "storm and stress" and describes a style in German literature and music, from the late 1760s through the early 1780s, that valued great contrast in emotions. The composer most associated with this style is Haydn.
This style is mostly heard in the middle symphonies of Haydn (he wrote 104). On Saturday, you can hear Haydn's Symphony Nos. 52 and 88. This is one of my personal favorite symphonic styles and I never understand why it isn't more popular. Haydn Symphony No. 88 is a great masterpiece and all the symphonies in the 50s and 60s are powerful, dramatic and very emotional. Without the influence of this Sturm und Drang style, Beethoven's signature style of quick dynamic contrasts would never have been possible.
Once you come to know these Haydn middle symphonies, you'll have a completely different concept of the Classical era. Here are the details:

They say time is a great healer, and in the case of one time two-thirds of Galaxie 500 Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang, it was more a case of indulging in a spot of reflective therapy culminating in More Sad Hits, their first recording as a duo.
Initially released to a largely unsuspecting public in a quite underwhelming fashion back in 1992. The world was preparing itself for the grunge phenomenon that in a matter of months would change rock music forever; slowcore or any of its melancholic predecessors wasn't on the agenda back then. More Sad Hits could be considered something of a requiem mass extinguishing the traumatic last few months of Galaxie 500 - Krukowski and Yang didn't exactly hide the fact that the break-up with the other third of Galaxie 500 Dean Wareham was purely down to musical differences. Indeed, even the sleeve notes of this re-issue mention "the bad energy Wareham always brought into the studio with him", a clear sign that relations weren't exactly amiable between one and all for a long time.
Between times, Krukowski and Yang had been listening to Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom almost continuously since the split, and it was largely due to the impact of that record from where More Sad Hits bore fruition. As with their previous works, esteemed producer Kramer found himself sat at the controls once again, and listening to the record now it becomes even more apparent how much of an influence he had on the end product, turning what could have ended up as being nothing more than an exercise in morose self-pity into a statute, grandiose affair whose inspiration would galvanise esteemed artists like Low and Neutral Milk Hotel (their song 'Naomi' is purely influenced by this record, fact fans) into writing some of the best music of their career, ultimately creating new sub-genres in the process.
Kramer's input into the record actually goes beyond mixing desk duties, his guitar work coming to the forefront on two of the record's highlights 'E.T.A' and 'This Car Climbed Mt. Washington'. Not only did he help create arguably the finest hour of Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang's recording careers, he also firmly established himself as a maverick genius in the process, setting the standards for what was to come both from his own hands and those of his contemporaries in the future.
However, let's not take anything away from the actual songs themselves here either. Twelve pieces of music in all, each and every one written at a time when neither party really had any inclination to carry on making music as widely illustrated in the lolloping 'Little Red Record Co.', which compares the music industry to a dictatorship similar to that of Chairman Mao.
Elsewhere, their mournful, Hammond-saturated reading of Soft Machine's 'Memories' and ode to all things Wyatt 'Sir Thomas And Sir Robert' resonate with a dense, yet strangely familiar beauty that may have confused the living daylights out of a music underground searching for the ultimate rock fix back in '92, but now sound resolutely perfect in the current climate.
Although More Sad Hits rarely finds itself mentioned in the same breath as Damon And Naomi's previous work such as 'On Fire', one suspects that is more down to circumstance than the actual quality, as this album hasn't merely improved with age, its finally found a place and era that can truly appreciate the greatness that is contained within. A funny thing, time, eh...

Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken Chili – black beans, corn, Rotel, Ranch dressing mix, cumin, chili powder, onions, cream cheese and chicken.
It is officially chili weather in Alabama – brr. We usually do a traditional beef chili, but I saw this in my google reader and decided to give it a try. One word – amazing!
It is made in the crockpot – my favorite preparation method. This only took 5 minutes to throw together before work. You could even mix it up the night before and just turn the crockpot on before heading out the door. The chili was delicious! We both loved it. It was even great reheated for lunch the next day.
Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Chicken Chili
- 1 can black beans
- 1 can corn, undrained
- 1 can Rotel, undrained
- 1 (1-oz) package ranch dressing mix
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 (8-oz) package light cream cheese
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Drain and rinse black beans. Place chicken at bottom of pot, then pour out whole can of corn (undrained), rotel, and black beans. Top with seasonings and ranch mix. Stir together. Place cream cheese on top.
- Cover with lid and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Stir cream cheese into chili. Use 2 forks to shred chicken. Stir together and serve.
- **Can place all ingredients in a freezer bag and freeze for a quick freezer meal later.**

First, when we get a cooling trend, idiots with an agenda remove a curve in a graph so it supports their position. Then when they get busted, the term climate change creeps in so they can make their money by jumping on either side of the fence (hello GE). Grrrrreat, now I can digest articles from losers who write the reason we have fewer hurricanes is because of global warming, then when that doesn't work out for them, I can read how the increase in hurricanes is the result of global warming.
Just a thought from little ol me. STFU.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court can choose from a wide array of outcomes in ruling on California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage and the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
The federal law, known by the shorthand DOMA, defines marriage as the union of a man and a woman and therefore keeps legally married gay Americans from collecting a range of federal benefits that generally are available to married people.
The cases will be argued Tuesday and Wednesday. Rulings are not likely before late June.
The justices might come out with rulings that are simple, clear and dramatic. Or they might opt for something narrow and legalistic.
The court could strike down dozens of state laws that limit marriage to heterosexual couples, but it also could uphold gay marriage bans or say nothing meaningful about the issue at all.
A look at potential outcomes for the Proposition 8 case and then for the case about DOMA:
Q. What if the Supreme Court upholds Proposition 8?
A. This would leave gay Californians without the right to marry in the state and would tell the roughly 40 states that do not allow same-sex marriages there is no constitutional problem in limiting marriage to a man and a woman.
Such an outcome probably would trigger a political campaign in California to repeal Proposition 8 through a ballot measure and could give impetus to similar voter or legislative efforts in other states.
Q. What if the court strikes down Proposition 8?
A. A ruling in favor of the two same-sex couples who sued to invalidate the voter-approved gay marriage ban could produce one of three possibilities. The broadest would apply across the country, in effect invalidating constitutional provisions or statutes against gay marriage everywhere.
Or a majority of the justices could agree on a middle option that applies only to California as well as Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and Rhode Island.
Those states already treat gay and straight couples the same in almost every respect through civil unions or domestic partnerships. The only difference is gay couples are not allowed to marry. Gov. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., signed his state's civil unions law Thursday.
This "nine-state solution" would say the Constitution forbids states to withhold marriage from same-sex couples while giving them all the basic rights of married people. But this ruling would not implicate marriage bans in other states and would leave open the question of whether states could deprive gay couples of any rights at all.
The narrowest of these potential outcomes would apply to California only. The justices essentially would adopt the rationale of the federal appeals court that found California could not take away the right to marry that had been granted by the state Supreme Court in 2008 before Proposition 8 passed later that year.
In addition, if the Supreme Court were to rule that gays and lesbians are deserving of special protection from discriminatory laws, it is unlikely any state ban on same-sex marriage could survive long, even if the justices don't issue an especially broad ruling in this case.
Q. Are there other potential outcomes?
A. Yes, the court has a technical way out of the case without deciding anything about same-sex marriage. The Proposition 8 challengers argue the private parties defending the provision - members of the group that helped put the ban on the ballot - did not have the right to appeal the trial judge's initial decision striking it down or that of the federal appeals court.
The justices sometimes attach great importance to this concept, known as standing. If they find Proposition 8's proponents lack standing, the justices also would find the Supreme Court has no basis on which to decide the case.
The most likely outcome of such a ruling also would throw out the appeals court decision that struck down the ban but would leave in place the trial court ruling in favor same-sex marriage. At the very least, the two same-sex couples almost certainly would be granted a marriage license.

On Tuesday, residents will be casting their votes on whether Missouri should provide funds to train additional home care aides, which would allow the state's elder and disabled population to remain in their own homes. This is known as Proposition B or The Quality Homecare Act.
On Tuesday, residents will be casting their votes on whether Missouri should provide funds to train additional home care aides, which would allow the state's elder and disabled population to remain in their own homes. This is known as Proposition B or The Quality Homecare Act.
This particular proposition is one which every adult child and person who is either physically challenged or of retirement age should pay attention to. With people living longer, and medical technology available to enable individuals to remain more self-sufficient to an older age, or those who just need a little assistance from time to time, this is a very important ballot issue.
There will always be persons who have disabilities, dementia or other physical and mental issues that do require living in either an assisted care or skilled nursing facility. However, if a person is coherent, able to make rational decisions, feed and clothe themselves, or needs just a little help with cooking, cleaning, or bathing, or perhaps their eyesight isn't what it used to be and they are in need of a ride somewhere, Proposition B would allow them to remain living in their own.
The Quality Homecare Act would provide the necessary funding for additional training of current home care aides, to hire more aides. It would also allow those who ordinarily would not be able to afford to have a home care aide to do so.
The U.S. Supreme Court has mandated that all states provide services "in community settings rather than institutions when remaining in the community is appropriate, consistent with the wishes of the disabled person, and can be reasonably accommodated." In this case, the word "disabled" also refers to senior citizens.
Proposition B also calls for the creation of the Missouri Quality Homecare Council, which would monitor the quality of home care aides being hired and trained, working conditions, and help to guard against possible abuse of the disabled and elderly. The Council would also engage in collective bargaining to see to it that home care aides are paid a wage, and receive benefits, consistent with the type of work they perform.
Basically, what this proposition does is allow disabled and elderly to continue living independently in their own homes at the state's expense, and avoid being placed in institutions, unless they are in need of services greater than those provided by home care aides, such as skilled nursing. It allows the recipient of services from health care aides to stay in familiar surroundings, and the freedom to come and go as they please.
It is estimated that, if passed, it could cost the state over $500,000 a year. However, if federal grants become available the state could end up paying much less. Local governments would not bear any of the costs or savings from this proposition.

Buzz- Steady Rise: An island sound without the tequila
Emotionally, local roots pop-rock quintet The Downbeat Project really meant it when naming their debut album Rise. From the album's first track, the theme of hope permeates both the lyrical and musical content.
"What inspires us is transcendence," says mandocello player Zachary Blatter (who plays under the moniker Zachary Orchard). "It translates into our music."
The title may also capture the band's growth, as the past three years have seen them grow a fanbase through frequent performances with crowded dance floors. Although they're known for their lush grooves and tropical flair –- far more Kingston than Magaritaville–- they dug a little deeper for the album.
Frontman Clarence Green calls "Strange as Love" the band's favorite track, and reportedly wrote it by scribbling in a notebook while living out of the back of his father's truck. Then there's "Back Home," which is inspired by the warfare in the Middle East; and politics meets personal when he writes about his late father's experience growing up amid segregation – "'He Lost Faith' is about my dad's experience in the military," says Green. "It's a song about him being able to die for his country, but not be able to go through the front door of the movie theater. He taught me that there is hope, and that's a thing people can relate to."
Hey, there it is again. And that's precisely why Rise puts you on a sun-drenched Jamaica beach and right at home, all at the same time.
Downbeat Project releases Rise on Saturday, May 1 at The Southern. Os Magrelos opens and the party moves to Random Row Books after the show. Doors open at 8pm and tickets cost $8.

Earth from Space: Snow-capped Scandinavian Peninsula
A cold wave swooped through the Scandinavian region last week bringing about sub-zero temperatures and blanketing the area in snow and ice, which caused Swedish ports to freeze. ESA's Envisat captured the snow-covered Scandinavian Peninsula on 11 March, 2006.
The peninsula, 1850 kilometres long and from 370 to 805 kilometres wide, is shared by Sweden (on the right), Norway (on the left) and Finland at the very tip. Scandinavia is a region of northern Europe, comprised of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, which is located just below Sweden (seen on the bottom right-hand side).
Scandinavia was home to the Vikings, warriors who instilled fear across the European continent by using boats to raid other countries. The period from the end of the 8th century to the mid-11th century is known as the Viking Age.
Bordered on all sides by water – the North Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, the Gulf of Bothnia, the Baltic Sea and the Kattegat and Skagerrak straits – the Vikings became expert shipbuilders and sailors. In fact, they were the first Europeans to reach North America, some 500 years before Christopher Columbus.
The Scandinavian Peninsula is often referred to as the 'Land of the Midnight Sun' because of a natural occurring phenomenon that allows the sun to shine for at least 24 hours. The opposite phenomenon, called polar night, occurs in winter when the sun sits below the horizon, producing very little or no sunlight.
These phenomena occur in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. As the Earth orbits the sun, its tilt places the North Pole towards the sun in the summer and away from the sun in the winter.
The Aurora Borealis, also called Northern Lights, can also be seen in the northern tip of the Scandinavian Peninsula from September to October and March to April. The aurora is a result of space weather and occurs between 56 and 970 kilometres above the earth.
The aurora is caused by high-speed electrons and protons from the sun entering into the atmosphere and colliding with air molecules, which causes them to emit light.
Acquired by ESA's Envisat's Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), this image has a pixel sampling of 1200 metres and a width of 1270 kilometres.

Château Pichon Longueville Baron 2ème Grand Cru Classé 1997
Current price estimate per bottle
Located on a low plateau, the vineyard in AOC Saint-Julien adjoins the commune of Cussac. Most of the plots have soil similar to Latour, consisting of coarse gravel with the drainage enhanced by numerous channels. The chateau was built in 1565 by Bishop Francois de Foix-Candale. His niece, who inherited it, married Jean Louis de Nogaret de la Valette, first duke of Epernon, grand admiral of France and governor of Guyenne, close to King Henri III. The power and fame of the Duke were such that the boats which passed in front of the domain had to lower the sails in sign of allegiance, hence the name Beychevelle (meaning baisse la voile, or lower the sails in the local dialect). A new chateau was built in the middle of the 18th century by the Marquis de Brassier, Baron de Beychevelle. The property was classified fourth growth in 1855. Several owners succeeded one another until today: the Japanese Suntory and the Castel group are now co-shareholders of GMF (Grands millésimes de France), which possesses among other things the Chateau Beychevelle. The vineyard extends over 90 hectares within an area of 250 hectares and the grape variety is composed of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. It is managed through responsible farming. Château Beychevelle has become one of the best names from the Médoc region.
Château Beychevelle produces refined, balanced wines, rich in tannins with delightfully elegant aromas of fruit and spices. These wines have good structure and a substantial capacity to age. The older vintages are particularly fine and are much sought after by wine enthusiasts in France and internationally, especially in Asia.

Rising H1N1 flu in New Zealand may exhaust vaccine supply
New Zealand's health ministry said today that a continued rise in pandemic flu activity has prompted the government to begin issuing public updates twice a week rather than weekly. Calls to New Zealand's flu phone line are running 35% higher than the normal seasonal level, with about 1,400 calls each day over the weekend, according to a ministry statement. Ten people are being treated in intensive care units (ICUs). Six deaths so far this year have been reported as linked to pandemic H1N1 flu, but four of those have not yet been confirmed. School surveillance, however, suggests that absenteeism rates are normal for this time of year. The health ministry is urging the public to get vaccinated, though it warned that only about 6,400 doses remain, enough to last through the end of August. Officials are exploring options for extending immunizations.
First death related to new bacterial resistance factor reported
A Belgian who died in June is the first person known to have died of an infection with a bacteria carrying a recently identified enzyme, called NDM-1, that confers resistance to carbapenem and other powerful antibiotics, according to an Aug 13 Associated Press report. The Belgian became infected while hospitalized in Pakistan after a car accident, and he died in a Brussels hospital after returning home, despite treatment with colistin, the story said. Although the resistance factor had been reported previously, it sparked widespread news coverage when it was described in Lancet Infectious Diseases Aug 11. The report said NDM-1–producing bacteria are spreading in India and Pakistan and have also been found in Britain. NDM-1 is encoded by a gene that can jump bacterial species and has been reported in several species in the Enterobacteriaceae family. Meanwhile, the Times of India reported today that discovery of the resistance problem has triggered a discussion about the need for an Indian national policy to curtail the "irrational use" of antibiotics and increase surveillance for resistance. In other developments, a news report noted that a March study in the Journal of the Association of Physicians of India (JAPI) described 22 cases of NDM-1 infections at a hospital in Mumbai. In an accompanying editorial, an Indian infectious disease specialist harshly criticized Indian physicians for overusing antibiotics.

Q fever agent found in US raw milk
A small study suggests that Coxiella burnetii, the cause of Q fever, is fairly common in raw milk sold in the United States, possibly adding to the well-known risks posed by this commodity. The researchers found the pathogen in 9 of 21 (43%) raw milk samples taken at dairies in seven states: Washington, California, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. The positive samples came from 8 of 20 dairies included in the study, says the report, published online Aug 12 by Foodborne Pathogens and Disease. The pathogen was found in 8 of 14 cow milk samples and 1 of 7 goat milk samples. The 43% rate of contamination was lower than what was found (over 90%) in a 2005 study that tested commercial dairy milk before pasteurization (which kills the pathogen), but the authors said the small sample size in this study prevents comparison. C burnetii is found in cattle, sheep, and goats worldwide, and humans most commonly contract it by inhaling contaminated barnyard dust, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Although the CDC lists consumption of raw milk as a risk factor for Q fever, the study authors write, "The pathogenesis of Q fever after oral exposure in humans is unknown, limiting our ability to assess the public health risk of this finding." They say further research is needed to learn the infectivity and pathogenicity of C burnetii after ingestion.

Southeast Asian nations test severe pandemic scenario
Ten countries that are part of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) began a 4-day exercise today to gauge for the first time how a severe pandemic would affect essential services in each country and the whole region. The group is meeting in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, according to a statement today from the United Nations, which is cohosting the event with ASEAN. The simulation is designed to test how a pandemic would affect a range of services, especially energy, transportation, and healthcare. The scenario features a communicable disease that arises on the continent of Pandemica, with five countries having economic and infrastructure conditions resembling those of Southeast Asia.

Need to Understand the New Patent Law? These Two Sites May Help
Posted by Plish on September 29, 2011
The America Invents Act has been signed into law. In order to understand the impact of the law, I've been checking out various websites and found a couple that do a great job of explaining what this law means and how it may impact inventive entities, both large and small.
First, check out the law firm of Pepper Hamilton where this great primer explains the changes in a clear and understandable manner.
Once you've read that, head on over to this Washington and Lee website, listen to the short podcast from Professor Alan C. Marco and read the article. This is a really fair and balanced opinion on the impact of the patent law changes.
My opinion?
Yes, there might be a slight bias to the law that favors larger companies, but there seems to be enough wiggle room in the law to enable entrepreneurs to flourish. Time and legal challenges will help shape the law, but in the meantime, if someone has a great idea for a product, passionately believes in it, and wants to see it come to fruition, the United States is still the place to be.

(JTA) — About 160 Swedes and Danes attended the first inter-Scandinavian Limmud Jewish learning event.
The March 11 event was held at an adult education center in Lund, a Swedish city situated 23 miles north of Copenhagen.
"Last year we held the first Lund Limmud and this is the first time that the event has gone international," said the event's co-organizer, Rabbi Rebecca Lillian.
"Many Swedes can understand Danish and visa versa, but to completely eliminate the language barrier each time bloc included at least one session in Danish or English," said Lillian, an American Reconstructionist rabbi who immigrated to Malmo from Chicago two years ago.
The event was promoted on social media in Swedish, Danish and English. The 2014 Oresunds Limmud will be held at a bigger venue, Lillian said.
She added the majority of participants were Swedish but a few dozen Danes also came, including former Danish chief rabbi Bent Melchior. In his address, he encouraged Jewish communities to embrace families with only one Jewish spouse.
