The map was made in or around 1491 by Henricus Martellus, a German cartographer working in Florence. It's not known how many were made, but Yale owns the only surviving copy. It's a big map, especially for its time: about 4 by 6.5 feet. "It's a substantial map, meant to be hung on a wall," Van Duzer said.
The Martellus map is interesting for several historic reasons, Van Duzer says. One is it's relevance to Columbus. "It's extremely likely, just about unquestionable that Christopher Columbus saw this map or a very similar one made by the same cartographer, and that the map influenced his thinking about the world's geography," Van Duzer said.
There are several lines of evidence for this, Van Duzer says. Columbus sailed west from the Canary Islands hoping to find a new trade route to Asia. Writings by Columbus and his son suggest that he began searching for Japan in the region where it appears on the Martellus map, and that he expected to find the island running north to south, as it does on the Martellus map, but not on any other surviving map made before his voyage. (You can see Japan floating too far off the coast of Asia in the top right corner of Martellus's map above).
Of course, what Columbus found instead was something Martellus hadn't known about—the New World.

Martellus's map was also a big influence on Martin Waldseemüller, another German cartographer whose 1507 map is the first to apply the name "America" to the New World. The Library of Congress purchased the only surviving copy of Waldseeüller's map in 2003 for $10 million. "There are many places where the same information was in the same place on the two maps," Van Duzer said. "The layout is very similar, a lot of the decorative elements are very similar."
What isn't known, because of the condition of the Martellus map, is how similar the text on the two maps is. "One of the most exciting images I've ever seen of a map is an ultraviolet image of the Martellus map taken in the early '60s," Van Duzer said. "If you look at eastern Asia with natural light, if you look closely, you get a hint that there's text there, but if you look in ultraviolet light suddenly you see that there's text everywhere."
Most of the text still isn't legible in those older UV images, but some of the parts that are appear to be drawn from the travels of Marco Polo through east Asia. There are also indications of where sailors could expect to find sea monsters or pearls. "In northern Asia, Martellus talks about this race of wild people who don't have any wine or grain but live off the flesh of deer and ride deer-like horses," Van Duzer said. Waldseeüller copied much of this.

There are also interesting differences between the two maps. Waldseeüller gets the shape of Africa more or less right, but on the Martellus map, southern Africa juts out way too far to the east (Africa is on the left side of both maps). In addition, Martellus's depiction of rivers and mountains in the interior of southern Africa, along with place names there, appear to be based on African sources. It's likely that this information came from an African delegation that visited the Council of Florence in 1441 and interacted with European geographers. Three other surviving maps contain some of this same information, but the Martellus map covers more territory than any of them, making it the most complete surviving representation of Africans' geographic knowledge of their continent in the 15th century. "In my mind, that's absolutely amazing," Van Duzer said.
Van Duzer hopes to learn more about Martellus's sources from the new images the team is creating. Scanning the map only took a day, after two and a half days of set up, he says. The team used an automated camera system developed by a digital imaging company called Megavision. The system uses LEDs to deliver light within a narrow band of wavelengths and minimize the amount of heat and light the map was exposed to. The camera has a quartz lens, which transmits ultraviolet light better than glass. The team photographed 55 overlapping tiles of the map, using 12 different types of illumination, ranging from ultraviolet to infrared.
Conceptually, the process isn't very complicated, says team member Roger Easton, an expert on imaging historical manuscripts at the Rochester Institute of Technology. "We're really just looking at the object under different colors of light and trying to find the combination of images that best enhance whatever it is that we're trying to see."
But extracting legible text from all those images will take a lot of imaging processing and analysis, and a lot of trial and error, Easton says. A combination that works on one part of the map might be useless for another part. "It depends on the details of how the map has eroded or how the color of the pigments has changed," Easton said. "Different pigments reflect different wavelengths of light, and they deteriorate differently too."
When the project is complete, probably sometime next year, the images will be available for scholars and the general public to examine on the website of theBeinecke Digital Library at Yale.

It happens almost every year: a movie comes out with a big budget and hot talent attached to it... and it fizzles horribly. Case in point: Speed Racer had a reported $120 million budget and made only $44 million domestically.
Actually, we quite liked Speed Racer, which had a lot of heart and a genuine love of anime and other pop culture. But regardless of whether Speed Racer deserved its fate, it was a cautionary example: a big summer movie that tanked. And with more massive films coming out this summer than any year since 2008, there will be casualties.
Which big-budget summer film is going to share Speed and Chim Chim's terrible fate this summer?

Trapped Within a Gilded Gucci Cage
Posted by Reem Adeeb
Saturday afternoon in Knightsbridge is never a dull moment: The anti Fur protesters come out in droves chanting :" Shame on you! Gucci....Harrods....Cavalli...."whoever they are targetting....Fur is Murder!"
So the reason for this photo? I am in fact trapped behind the solid doors of Gucci...I wish you could see me...hilarious!
As I attempted to leave I am faced with the closed doors,the chanting crowds outside with banners and pamphlets. I look at the 3 burly guards and say:
"Can I leave? I'm wearing wool and viscose?!!"
"Madam,...no problem" says Burly Guard as I approach the door...hesitant 'cos to be honest it was rather overwhelming:
"Ermmmm...Are you coming with me?"
Luckily the Police were by the door,the crowd didn't fly at me...and there was my sister and her husband in hysterics watching me emerge.
This photo was their gift to me...to immortalise the moment I was trapped within Gucci.

LBJ delays fee hikes until middle of January
The LBJ Medical Center has delayed the fee hikes until the middle of next month, to give the Fono and the administration time to come up with a financial package to assist the hospital, whose board chairman says LBJ reserves the right to implement the new fees if nothing changes in the financial picture for the government owned facility.
The fee hikes were due to go into effect Christmas Eve. However, Gov. Togiola Tulafono and the LBJ board and management met this week to discuss ways to resolve the hospital's financial woes. Yesterday, LBJ board chairman Moananu Va issued an official statement about the delay.
"It is our… intent to delay the proposed increase until at least Jan. 14, 2012," said Moananu. "If the necessary subsidies have not been received by that date or if our financial picture changes dramatically in the interim, we reserve the right to implement the proposed new fees at any time."
(Congressman Faleomavaega Eni announced yesterday that Congress has approved funding for the U.S. Department of Interior which includes more than $22.7 million for ASG operations — which includes funding for LBJ. See separate story)
Moananu thanked the community, the governor and the Fono for the comments LBJ received regarding the proposed fee hike, adding that about 40 people attended Monday's public hearing and about a dozen others submitted written comments.
"We heard two distinct messages," said Moananu, adding that the first one seeks to delay the fees for twenty days until the Fono is back in session next month and has an opportunity to address this issue.
"We are willing to do so, but our dire financial position gives us very limited flexibility in this regard," he pointed out. "We are already significantly behind in paying our vendors. We must receive the appropriate subsidy from ASG in order to delay the increase."
(As of yesterday, Samoa News was unable to confirm if ASG has provided the subsidy for December.)
Once the Fono is in session, "we must have immediate consideration and approval of a supplemental appropriation of at least $4 million to allow us to pay all of those who have extended us credit," he said. "We also must have a commitment from the Fono to find a workable, sustainable, reliable revenue stream for the long term stability of the Medical Center."
Last week, Senate President Gaoteote Tofau Palaie submitted to the governor the proposed short and long term solutions submitted by the Fono to assist the hospital.
To get a quick cash infusion for LBJ, Gaoteote says a $3 million appropriation bill would be introduced using excess funds in the Workmen's Compensation Account as the funding source and the Senate also plans to re-appropriate $1 million from Insurance Proceeds Account for the hospital. (See Samoa News story on Dec. 19, for more details.)
In the hospital statement, Moananu said the second message received from the public was that if an increase is necessary, it should be a smaller amount than is proposed.
"We understand the burden the proposed increase will cause in many households. We regret its necessity and magnitude," he said. "The amount of an increase, if any, depends upon the total financial package available from the government."
He then announced the delay of the fee hikes until next month.
At press time there was no official reaction from the governor's office to the delay in the hikes.

World Bulletin / News Desk
Tropical Storm Isaac lashed south Florida with winds and heavy rain on Sunday after battering the Caribbean, threatening to interrupt most U.S. offshore oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and disrupting plans for the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
Isaac is expected to strengthen to a Category 2 hurricane and hit the Gulf Coast somewhere between Florida and Louisiana at midweek - on or near the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina - the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in an advisory.
A hurricane warning was issued for the Gulf Coast from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle, including New Orleans, which was devastated when Katrina struck the city on Aug. 29, 2005, killing more than 1,800 people and causing billions of dollars of damage to the Gulf Coast.
In Louisiana, Governor Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency and said 15 low-lying parishes outside New Orleans' newly built, $14.5 billion flood defense system would likely be under mandatory evacuation orders by Monday.
"There's really nothing that's going to stop this storm from forming and from strengthening," said Jindal, a seasoned crisis manager who has weathered such disasters as the 2010 BP oil spill.
On Mississippi's Gulf Coast, residents started stocking up on supplies and securing their homes. "It is packed. They are clearing the shelves," said Lindy Stewart after shopping at a Sam's Club in Gulfport. Stewart said she bought bread, lunch meat and other "stuff you need to survive a couple of days without power."
The Mississippi State Port Authority ordered the port of Gulfport cleared of all cargo vessels and cargo containers.
Isaac is forecast to become a hurricane either late Monday or Tuesday. The NHC said the storm was expected to eventually intensify to a Category 2 hurricane with "extremely dangerous" sustained winds of 105 miles per hour (169 kph) as it swept through the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Forecasters are predicting a more westward track that could bring Isaac over the heart of the U.S. offshore oil patch, which produces about 23 percent of U.S. oil output and 7 percent of its natural gas output.
Meteorologists at Weather Insight, an arm of Thomson Reuters, predict the storm will spur short-term shutdowns of 85 percent of the U.S. offshore oil production capacity and 68 percent of the natural gas output.
With the threat to offshore oil infrastructure and Louisiana refineries, U.S. crude oil prices traded up 75 cents to $96.90 a barrel in Asia early Monday.
Once ashore, the storm could wreak havoc on low-lying fuel refineries along the Gulf Coast that account for about 40 percent of U.S. refining capacity.
That could send gasoline prices spiking just ahead of the U.S. Labor Day holiday, analysts said. "It's going right in the heart of refinery row," Phil Flynn, an analyst with Price Futures Group in Chicago, said on Sunday.
London-based BP Plc <Bp. l>, the biggest U.S. Gulf producer, said it was shutting production at all of its Gulf of Mexico oil and gas platforms and evacuating all workers on Sunday.
At 8 p.m. EDT (2400 GMT) on Sunday, Isaac was about 60 miles (100 km) southwest of Key West at the southernmost tip of the U.S. mainland, packing top sustained winds of 65 mph (100 kph) and churning west-northwest at 15 mph (24 kph).
Isaac was becoming better organized and faced favorable conditions, increasing the possibility that the storm could strengthen beyond a Category 2 hurricane, said NHC meteorologist David Zelinsky.
Tropical-force winds from the massive storm stretched across 400 miles (644 km), with rain bands extending even further, he added.
"It certainly is a large storm," he said, noting that wind gusts of 60 mph (100 kph) had been detected as far apart as Key West and Palm Beach.
The winds forced cancellations of hundreds of flights in and out of Miami, Fort Lauderdale and other south Florida airports. Miami Mayor Carlos Gimenez reported more than 500 cancellations affecting Miami International Airport alone.
More than half of the restaurants and other businesses were shuttered in the tourist haven of Key West after many visitors heeded official warnings to head home early. Isaac began moving away from the Florida Keys on Sunday evening.
Republicans, who will formally nominate former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as their presidential candidate for the November election, will convene their four-day meeting on Monday as scheduled, then recess until Tuesday.
Tampa, located on Florida's west coast, still faces a threat of both winds and heavy rains from Isaac. But forecasters said a slight westward shift in the storm's track helped put Tampa out of harm's way.
In Haiti, Isaac added to the misery of more than 350,000 survivors of the 2010 earthquake still living in flimsy resettlement camps as water gushed into tents and corrugated plastic shacks ripped apart by the wind.
Authorities in the impoverished nation said the storm had killed eight people, including three children.
In the Dominican Republic, officials said three people were missing, including the mayor of a town near Santo Domingo who was swept away as he tried to save another person from a flooded river.
No deaths or injuries were reported in Cuba, which got off lightly when the storm crossed its eastern flank instead of raking up the length of the island as originally predicted.Last Mod: 27 Ağustos 2012, 09:24

Get personal with the stunted space child of the '80s, Peter Quill (also known as Star-Lord) in this exclusive Guardians of the Galaxy featurette. The footage showcases the number one reason we're deeply excited for GOTG, Chris Pratt. And yes, he's talking about space hijinks and arguing with a CG raccoon.
This is an inside look at the life of the only human character in the GOTG gang, Peter Quill. It also brings back that "almost kissing" scene between Gamora and Quill. Will they or won't they? I don't know! Honestly, I just want more footage of Rocket Raccoon and Peter bickering. Who knew this dynamic would turn out so great? (Well, as great as it looks in the trailers and clips.) Fingers crossed for this one, guys.
Guardians of the Galaxy will premiere on August 1st, 2014.

The Pear Delicatessen, A Soda Mecca in Seattle
Seeking out and sampling every variety of canned and bottled pop isn't always easy. Regional restrictions, limited product roll-outs, arcane legal restrictions, and the brute realities of the market keep us forever on the hunt. Lucky for us, in almost every big city in America, there's a store that understands our passion for carbonation. If you're as into soda pop binges and flavor overdoses as we are, there's probably someplace in your town that stockpiles a variety of soft drink brands and hard-to-find tipples. And if you happen to live in Seattle, that place is the Pear Delicatessen & Shoppe.
Located in the Emerald City's legendary Pike Place Market, just a stone's throw from the original Starbucks, the Pear Deli went through a number of permutations before it ended up as one of our favorite places to buy soda. Long a family business, it began as a cab dispatch before becoming a meat packer and a costume warehouse before ending up, in 2003, as a delicatessen catering to the busy crowd at one of the city's busiest tourist attractions. The Pear offers sandwiches, specialty chocolates, cookbooks, and a wide selection of beers, but for our purposes, the real draw is its gargantuan wall of sodas.
The Pear Deli's treasure trove of micro-bottlers and regional colas numbers over 250 flavors and varieties of over 50 brands, spanning the whole U.S., from Hawaii to New England. The selection ranges from the usual corporate giants and brand-new flavor combinations to tiny family-owned soda brands going back as far as the Civil War. The choices are forever changing; and Pear's owners, though admirably dedicated to their old favorites, are also willing to switch things up.
Among the available brands during our most recent visit were ones we've sampled before, including Fentiman's, Squamscot, Hot Lips, Waialua, AJ Stephan's, Jackson Hole, Fitz's, Faygo, Sprecher, Maine Root, Blenheim, and Kutztown; we also found old favorites like Berghoff, Virgil's, Sioux City, Abita, and Dad's alongside less familiar brands like Sea Dog, Barrel Brothers, Captain Eli's, and Olde Rhode Island. We loaded up a basket with Grown UP Sodas, a cola from Seattle's Pig Iron BBQ, some Dog 'n' Suds for nostalgia value, and even tried something purporting to be Capone Family Secret Soda before we ran out of stomach space.
The Pear Delicatessen is open seven days a week for your soda-drinking pleasure. Prices can be high, especially since they sell only by the single bottle, but the selection can't be beat, and everything is properly chilled and ready for sipping. Best of all, at least for non-Seattleites, the Pear is starting an online store. It's not up and running yet, but once it is, it'll be a terrific opportunity to sample some of the country's rarest sodas without having to trek to Pike Place.
Have you ever visited the Pear Deli? What's your one-stop shop for rare and specialty sodas?

VANCOUVER - Jason Garrison, Maxim Lapierre and Zack Kassian scored goals as the Vancouver Canucks beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-0 Wednesday night at Rogers Arena.
Now on to the really important stuff. Like who's going to start in goal Friday night when the Chicago Blackhawks visit town?
Roberto Luongo threw a little gasoline on the goaltending controversy with another strong performance Wednesday night. A surprise starter, Luongo turned aside all 24 shots he faced to record his 61st NHL shutout.
He's now played more minutes this season than Cory Schneider, who had been anointed Vancouver's new starter last spring.
Many expect Schneider will start Friday night against the Blackhawks, who are 6-0-1 after losing 3-2 in a shootout to the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday night. But many observers also thought coach Alain Vigneault would start Schneider against the Avalanche.
Vigneault wasn't saying anything about his Friday starter after the game.
"I'll tell you tomorrow," he said, then adding "again, I understand why this is an issue outside our dressing room. We've got two goaltenders who want to play 60 games in a 48-game schedule. I get it. But at the end of the day, they are both quality individuals, they are both team guys and they will do what I say and never complain."
Luongo, of course, is accustomed to normally getting the next start after a shutout.
"I don't know," Luongo said when asked if he expected to start against the Hawks. "Like I have said before, I just get ready to play and whatever the decision is it will be fine.. I just want to be ready and whoever starts Friday is good."
Chants of "Louuuuuuu" filled Rogers Arena in the dying seconds and the fans gave Luongo a standing ovation when the final buzzer sounded. It's clear most Canuck fans appreciate the way Luongo has handled an uncomfortable situation.
"It was nice," Luongo said. "It was a nice moment there the last few seconds and also coming out for the (first) star as well. It was something I very much appreciated."
Luongo's save percentage this season is .938 and his goals-against average is 1.61. Both are fourth best in the NHL.
Now, back to the game. The Canucks finally found a 2-0 lead they could hang on to after blowing three two-goal leads in their previous six games.
It should not have been a surprise. The Canucks have owned the Avalanche in recent years. Vancouver is now 16-0-2 in its last 18 games against the Avs. Talk about your Colorado Rocky Mountain High.
Garrison got his first goal as a Canuck at 7:34 of the first period and it came on Vancouver's first shot of the game. Garrison's shot from the left point got past a screened Colorado goalie Semyon Varlamov.
"Always nice to get that first one," Garrison said.
It had been all Avalanche up to that point. Colorado had a 5-0 edge in shots and practically all the play had been in the Vancouver zone. But Garrison's goal seemed to wake up the Canucks, who finished the period with a 9-7 edge in shots.
Lapierre made it 2-0 at 15:12 of the second on a nice individual effort. He beat Colorado defenceman Greg Zanon to the puck at the Vancouver blue line and broke free for a two-on-one rush with Aaron Volpatti. Lapierre's shot from deep in the right faceoff circle trickled through Varlamov's pads.
"The puck was bouncing a little bit so I was going for a shot for sure," Lapierre said. "I got a little lucky, but it was big."
Lapierre's goal came just seconds after Luongo had made a nice glove save on a Zanon shot from the left point.
Earlier in the second, the Canucks killed off a 5-on-3 Colorado power play that lasted 1:25.
Kassian's goal came at 8:18 of the third on a Vancouver power play. Dan Hamhuis fed Kassian a perfect pass from the left point and the rookie simply had to redirect it past Varlamov from the edge of the crease for his team-leading fifth goal of the season.
"Dan made a great play on my goal and you can't really do too much to screw it up other than tapping it in the back of the net," Kassian said.
Earlier in the third, Luongo stopped Colorado centre Matt Duchene on a short-handed breakaway.
"It was a key point in the game and even though he was in alone, he had a couple of guys on his back so he really didn't have much room to do much and I was able to challenge him and not give him much," Luongo said.
"The guys did a great job of keeping most of the shots to the outside enabling me to do my job much easier and there wasn't really any second or third opportunities either. First and foremost it's ncie to get the win. It's my third start and I really wanted to get in there and get a win for the guys.
The Avs were playing without three of their top four scorers from last season. Ryan O'Reilly is holding out for a new contract, Steve Downie is gone for the season with a torn ACL and new captain Gabriel Landeskog is out with head and leg injuries following a hit on Saturday by San Jose defenceman Brad Stuart.
The win moved the Canucks above .500 at 3-2-2, while Colorado fell to 2-4-0.
ICE CHIPS: Colorado defenceman and former Canuck Shane O'Brien sat out as a healthy scratch for the fifth time in six games. . .Andrew Ebbett, Cam Barker and Andrew Alberts were the Canuck scratches.

Herman Cain Should Resign From Church Role if Sex Claims Prove True, Says Martin Bashir (VIDEO)
Herman Cain Should Resign From Church Role if Sex Claims Prove True, Says Martin Bashir (VIDEO)
MSNBC Host Martin Bashir, who has been vocal about the espoused Christian faith of politicians vying for the presidency in 2012, has called on Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain to not only call it quits with his campaign, but to also resign from his position at the Atlanta church he attends, if allegations of an extra-marital affair prove to be true.
Sharing the Friday segment of "Clear the Air" on his Facebook page with the title "Bashir: Hypocrites can lie in the pew but should never lead from the pulpit," the MSNBC host pondered if Cain, while deciding if he should withdraw his campaign for the presidency, should not also "step away from his position within the church given the recent allegations against him of an extramarital affair."
Ginger White, a 45-year-old Atlanta, Ga., resident claims she and Cain had an affair for 13 years. After the allegation was made public, Cain said he was "reassessing" his campaign. The former Godfather's Pizza CEO also revealed that his wife of 43 years, Gloria Cain, had no knowledge of his friendship with White. Cain has reportedly previously been accused by four other women of sexual harassment.
"[Mrs. Cain] had no idea that her husband even knew Ginger White, let alone gave her money and allegedly slept with her. But then this campaign has been full of surprises for Mrs. Cain, who, by the way, has acted with complete dignity throughout these tawdry proceedings," Bashir continues, according to an MSNBC transcript.
He adds, "But, if Mr. Cain is to drop out of the Republican race, isn't it time he also considered resigning his position as an associate minister at Antioch Baptist Church in Atlanta?"
MSNBC contacted Antioch Baptist Church, but reportedly no one would "deny or confirm" Cain's position at the church.
"But if Herman Cain proves to be lying and drops out of the race, doesn't that also disqualify him from holding a position in the local church?" Bashir wondered.
In calling on Cain to be disqualified from holding a position at Antioch Baptist Church, Bashir, a Christian himself, could have been referring to the Bible's teaching regarding the standard for individuals holding positions of leadership in the church. One example of a passage referred to on this topic is found in 1 Timothy 3, which reads in verse two: "Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable..."
The MSNBC journalist noted that Cain's church is a part of the National Baptist Convention of the U.S., Inc., and referred to the organization's Statement of Faith, which reads:
"We believe that the Scriptures teach that the blessings of salvation are made free to all by the Gospel; that it is the immediate duty of all to accept them by cordial, penitent and obedient faith; and that nothing prevents the salvation of the greatest sinner on earth, but his own determined depravity and voluntary rejection of the Gospel; which rejection involves him in an aggravated condemnation."
"If Mr. Cain withdraws from politics, then he must surely resign his position in the church," Bashir concluded, "because one thing is for certain. Hypocrites can lie in the pew, but they should never lead."
Those who commented on Bashir's "Clear the Air" segment were mixed over his remarks on Cain, some vowing to still support the Atlanta businessman and Baptist minister despite the allegations.
"I'm still supporting Cain. Frankly, if Donald Trump can toy with the idea of the Presidency and be up in the polls (when he was running), and he's got a marital history that would put Gingrich, Clinton and Cain to shame -- then Cain's problems are insignificant," wrote Silvie Rivera on Bashir's Facebook page.
Others appreciated Bashir's expression of his viewpoints.
"You tell it like it is, and do so with class," wrote Bob Bickel Martin.
Bashir, who interviewed Rob Bell for his controversial book on hell, Love Wins: A Book About Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived in March, is a "committed Christian" who attends Tim Keller's Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City.
In a Sept. 15 "Clear the Air" segment, Bashir, who joined MSNBC in 2010, also questioned the presidential candidates' Christian faiths and their "cheap" show of Christianity.
On Friday, Cain told supporters that he would be making a "announcement" regarding the next steps in his campaign Saturday in Atlanta, reportedly after meeting with his wife. Will the beleaguered businessman will announce the suspension of his campaign?

Now available. A series of secular thoughts for the day podcast from www.thinkhumanist.org. I've contributed one that will be there from this Thursday (15th Feb.)...... Other contributors include Anthony Grayling and Stewart Lee. For an article in the Glasgow Herald including edited transcripts of Grayling, Lee's and my thoughts click here.
It is absurd that Radio 4 only allows religious contributions to this slot; just as it is absurd that we have unelected religious leaders with seats in our legislature. There was a flurry of debate about Thought for the Day when Richard Dawkins was allowed a secular one in 2002, but now podcasting is so easy, there are ways of getting round Radio 4's reluctance to cater for a very significant proportion of its listeners to this slot. If this gets really popular, perhaps Radio 4 will have to revisit its policy.

If you're looking for good, clean fun on stage for the entire family, Southington Community Theatre has just what you're looking for, said director Heidi Bass Lamberto.
On Feb. 21, the local theater group opens the 1956 musical, "L'il Abner," which is based on the longtime cartoon strip of the same name by Al Capp.
The musical played on Broadway in 1956 and has been performed oodles of times over the years by community groupssimilar to Southington Community Theatre.
"I thought the world was ready for a blast back to a more wholesome time of life," said Lamberto.
In addition to something for the audience, Lamberto said, "I also wanted a show that all ages could participate. Some shows limit youth, and others limit adults. This one seem to encompass all ages."
Lamberto said she was already familiar with "L'il Abner" before SCT decided to take it on.
"I saw the show performed at Southington High School many years ago when I was first involved in local theater," said Lamberto. "My closer connection to it was remembering it as a cartoon strip and a set of characters that all Americans knew, just like Annie and Daddy Warbucks. I remembered the songs, they have a way of sticking with you."
Asked how SCT is putting its own little mark on the show, Lamberto was a bit coy.
"I am not even sure I can spoil that," said Lamberto. "You really need to come to see the show. I feel very confident that no other theater group including Broadway has had the magic ingredient I have to keep the audience laughing."
But she did offer one oblique hint.
"Look for J. T. Cornpone," said Lamberto.
Lamberto was more than willing to extol the virtues of the cast that will be entertaining the audiences with "L'il Abner."
"The strength of this cast and crew is that they truly know how to have fun," said Lamberto. "They are hardworking and motivated to do their best. Each cast and crew member has been asked to do some extra work and all have replied with a OK. I enjoy watching them work off of one another. One cast member does something, and that ups the ante for the rest of the cast to follow suit. And, boy, do they follow."
"L'il Abner" takes the audiences into the fictional world of Dogpatch. And Lamberto said the audience will ride right along in the journey to his universe.
"The creators of 'L'il Abner' are amazing. I originally chose this show thinking it was a wholesome family show, which it is; however as I read and reread the script, I was amazed at the sharp wit directed at the government, the focus on the human desire to have more and be more, and the fact that those themes are ongoing and always prevelant when it comes to the human race."
"People need a laugh, people need to hope, people need to get happy endings," said Lamberto. "That is what happens and that is why people will come and that is why they will tell others to come."
"L'il Abner" will be performed by Southington Community Theatre on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday—Feb. 21 to 23—at Southington High School, 720 Pleasant St., Southington. Tickets are $15 at the door, or you can purchase them in advance at the following locations for a discount price of $12: Just for You Country Gifts, 979 Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike, Southington, (860)628-8948 or The Music Shop, 405 Queen St., Southington, (860) 628-7878.
Going back to Dogpatch with SCT's 'L'il Abner'
If you're looking for good, clean fun on stage for the entire family, Southington Community Theatre has just what you're looking for, said director Heidi Bass Lamberto.

Landsvirkjun has exercised an issuer call option to redeem a bond on 28 October 2020 of the amount of USD 50,000,000.

Utley gets a full night off because of rainout
PHILADELPHIA -- Before inclement weather postponed Friday's contest, Chase Utley was out of the Phillies lineup for the first time since returning from an oblique injury last month.
Utley appeared in 20 straight games since June 21, and manager Charlie Manuel said he just wanted to give the second baseman a chance to rest, especially with White Sox left-hander John Danks on the mound.
"He's been running a lot, running, sliding, running the bases, and I thought it was time for him to get a blow," Manuel said. "Against a lefty, I thought it would be a pretty good time to give him a break."
Utley, a left-handed hitter, has hit .280 with four home runs, five RBIs and a .330 on-base percentage since returning from his injury, which sidelined him for a month. Utley is hitting .275 with 11 homers, 30 RBIs and an .836 OPS this season.
For the first time in his career, Utley committed three errors in one game Thursday. The trio of gaffes came in the game's first two innings, and the first error happened when Utley collided with first baseman Darin Ruf while going for a popup. The next two came on one play, when Utley bobbled a grounder and then made a poor throw to first base.
None of Utley's errors resulted in runs, however, and the Phillies beat the Nationals, 3-1. Kevin Frandsen delivered a go-ahead, pinch-hit single in the victory, and was slated to start at second base and hit sixth on Friday. Frandsen is hitting .295 with 16 RBIs this season.

Ramos: 'Our minds are in Venezuela'
VIERA, Fla. -- It's hard for Nationals catchers Wilson Ramos and Jose Lobaton to concentrate on baseball 24 hours a day. They are concerned about their loved ones because of the violence and unrest in Venezuela.
Ramos is telling his family to buy all the food they can and stay home until the chaos is over.
"I feel sad to see about what's going on in Venezuela. We can do nothing [in Florida], just support the country and support the people over there. We have to see what happens to the government. They have to do something," Ramos said. "We are working right now, but our minds are in Venezuela. It's hard for us to concentrate on what we have to do here, because all the families are over there."
Lobaton is reluctant to talk about it, because he is concerned about the safety of his family.
"We have it on our minds all the time, but we have to separate it from baseball because this is our job," Lobaton said. "We are waiting for good news that everything is over. I really don't like to talk about politics. … Every day is so dangerous, but we want something good. It's hard to say a lot of things about it. We are praying for Venezuela."

Did Monsanto Win Prop 37? Round One in the Food Fight of Our Lives
This article was published in partnership with GlobalPossibilities.org.
It was a mighty fight. And it's far from over.
Between Oct. 7 and Nov. 6, 4.3 million Californians – nearly 47% of those who voted – cast their ballots in favor of what would have become this country's first law to require mandatory labeling of foods containing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and ban the routine industry practice of marketing GMO-tainted foods as "natural."
That Monsanto and Big Food's 4.8 million votes managed to scuttle Prop 37, one of the most widely publicized and closely watched state ballot initiatives of 2012, is almost a footnote to the real story. (As of today, with reports of almost 3 million votes still uncounted, some still question the "official" vote count and whether the No on 37 camp really won at all).
The real story is this. Prop 37, the grassroots-powered California ballot initiative to label genetically engineered foods in California has focused a national spotlight on GMOs, and the serious hazards that transgenics pose to human health and the environment.
It has permanently altered the national debate surrounding food safety, chemical-intensive agriculture, and sustainability. And it put the consumers' right-to-know and truth-in-labeling on the table for millions of Americans.
Prop 37 has exposed the dark side of Big Ag and Big Food, and their desperation to keep U.S. consumers in the dark about whether or not our food has been genetically engineered, a fundamental right enjoyed by citizens in over other 60 countries.
This monumental food fight has underscored how dirty money, indentured media, and dirty tricks have polluted our democratic process.
Prop 37 has brought together an unprecedented state and national coalition of more than 3000 organic food retailers and public health, faith and labor, consumer and agriculture, and environmental and political groups, with combined email lists of over 10 million people. The campaign collected almost a million signatures of registered voters to get on the ballot. It mobilized more than 10,000 volunteers and raised more than $8 million, much of that from individual organic consumers and natural health advocates from around the country, not just from California. It spawned new networks like GMO-Free USA and the 30-state Coalition of States for GMO Labeling, alliances that will help raise public awareness and money, and streamline the process of writing state GMO labeling laws.
Prop 37 has awakened a sleeping giant. It has created a statewide and national Movement with the potential to transform the entire U.S. food and farming system, part of a new political awakening in which grassroots forces have begun challenging the power of the corporate and political elite.
Prop 37 may indeed symbolize the "beginning of the end" for agricultural biotechnology and industrial food and farming, a profoundly unhealthy, unsustainable, climate-disrupting system that has dominated American agriculture for the last 60 years.
The real story is this. Prop 37 has created an unstoppable Movement, one that is already preparing for a new fight, on the next battlefield.
Behind Monsanto's Narrow 'Victory'
What did Big Ag and Big Food win on Nov. 6? A closer look reveals just how narrow their victory was.
Pre-election poll results revealed that early voters and those who still planned to vote No on 37 supported Prop 37's basic premise: that consumers should have the right to know what's in their food.
So why did so many vote No? Because they heard over and over, via $46 million-worth of TV and radio ads, that Prop 37 was poorly written, "made no sense," included special-interest exemptions, would trigger thousands of lawsuits, and would cost them money at the checkout counter. They were even led to believe, through blatantly fake voter guides mailed to their homes, that the Democratic Party urged them to vote No - even though the California Democratic Party had loudly and publicly endorsed the measure.
Prop 37 showed us yet once again what money can buy. And the No on 37 forces, led by the six largest pesticide and junk food manufacturers in the world, had a seemingly endless supply of cash to pour into their campaign of lies and deceit. Yet all that cash couldn't convince consumers that they shouldn't have the fundamental right to know what's in their food, much less that GMOs are a good idea.
In the end, Monsanto, DuPont, Dow, Pepsi, and Coca-Cola were forced to pretend they were on our side. They ultimately argued through their advertising that sure, consumers should have the right to know, but that Prop 37 was the wrong path to take toward consumer free-choice and truth in labeling.
Big Ag's strategy? Convince voters that industry respected our right to know, but that they were so concerned about saving consumers money and protecting them from a law they portrayed as ill-conceived, that they just had to rush in with their millions to protect us from ourselves – as if they were the ones who were going to come back with a more consumer-friendly law.
Should we hold our collective breath for Monsanto's new-and-improved version of Prop 37? A GMO labeling law written by grannies, not trial lawyers? A law that will ensure that meat from animals fed GMOs and shot up with GMO growth hormones must also be labeled? A stricter law, requiring that restaurant food containing GMOs be labeled so consumers can choose to avoid their laboratory-concocted Frankenfoods even when they dine out?
Prop 37 won in most coastal counties, including Los Angeles County and San Francisco, but lost in rural areas – areas the No on 37 campaign began pounding with anti-Prop 37 propaganda on Oct. 1, a week before early voting began. Flush with cash, they outspent us 5 to 1, running ads for almost a month before we were able to respond with our own campaign. Results showed that once we got our message out to those areas, the tide started to turn back in our direction.
The election result numbers shed a great deal of light on how powerful this consumer movement is: With only $8 million to spend, compared with their $46 million, we came within six percentage points of winning. And we are not going away anytime soon.
No Turning Back for the Alternative Food and Farming Movement
Prop 37 was the largest and most successful GMO labeling campaign yet, but it was not the first and it will not be the last.
In the last two years alone, 19 states have made a run at GMO labeling, either through citizens' initiatives or legislative efforts. We've come a long way from the failed push for GMO labeling in Oregon 10 years ago, a campaign that barely made a ripple outside that state. We've put GMO labeling on the national map, and we've put Monsanto on notice: This movement is stronger than ever, and it's not going away.
Activists in Washington State have already collected more than half of the signatures they need to put Initiative-522 on the ballot there in 2013. Oregon activists are eying a similar initiative in 2014. Plans are now in the works to restart campaigns in states like Vermont and Connecticut, where laws don't provide for citizens ballot initiatives, and reignite legislative those states's efforts to pass GMO labeling laws. Consumer support in those states is running higher than the national average of 90%, yet previous attempts to pass laws in Vermont and Connecticut those failed when legislators caved into threats by Monsanto to sue if they passed GMO labeling laws.
Prop 37 may change that, now that legislators have seen just how powerful this movement is – and how vulnerable their political careers may be if they continue to cast their votes against their constituents in favor of corporate lobbyists.
The Organic Consumers Association and our allies will now mobilize our growing base of organic consumers and natural health advocates to educate the public and pass GMO labeling laws across the country. Our narrow loss in California at the hands of dirty money and dirty politics has only strengthened our resolve and energize our grassroots army.
Prop 37 has fueled Americans growing outrage toward the role of corporate cash and indentured media. In the wake of this bitterly contested battle, food activists will continue to expose companies such as Kellogg's, General Mills, Coca-Cola, Dean Foods, and Pepsi, who donated millions to quash Prop 37 and who make billions of dollars by deceiving consumers with their so-called "natural" brands, produced with genetic engineering, toxic pesticides, and climate-disrupting chemical fertilizers. We will not rest until consumers understand that so-called "conventional" or "natural" products are a fraud, posing unacceptable risks to public human health and the environment.
We hold out faint hope that our Monsanto-controlled FDA will respond to consumer demand for a national GMO labeling law, even though a GMO labeling petition garnered more signatures than any FDA petition in history. We're equally skeptical that President Obama will honor his 2007 campaign promise to label GMOs, given his history of pandering to Big Ag and smoothing the way for faster approval of GMO crops. Yet we welcome these national grassroots lobbying efforts for their ability to broaden public awareness and build support for one of the most critical food policy issues of our time. So we'll keep up the pressure on the Obama administration in their second term.
We are witnessing one of the greatest consumer awakenings in recent times. Consumers are more ready than ever to help us pressure the marketplace for truth and transparency in labeling, especially when it comes to GMO labeling laws. They're ready to help us promote those companies who are on the right side of consumers, and expose those who aren't. They're willing to take on multi-billion companies like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's who can – and should – support consumer's right to know by immediately beginning to implement the voluntary labeling of the thousands of foods in their stores that contain GMOs.
So, go ahead, Monsanto and DuPont. Celebrate while you can. Your dirty money and dirty tricks have knocked us down. But we're back on our feet, energized and battle-savvy.
Round one in the food fight of our lives is over. But the battle has just begun.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Fred Couples has the lead and Tiger Woods has a lot of work to do heading into the weekend at the Masters.
The 52-year-old Couples made seven birdies Friday to shoot 5-under 67 and surge into a tie for the lead on this, the 20th anniversary of his title at Augusta National.
Jason Dufner shot 70 and will play in Saturday's final group with Couples, tied for the lead at 5 under.
Woods, meanwhile, made birdies on two of the first three holes but gave that all back and more. He shot 3-over 75 and was 3 over heading into the weekend.
The cut was 5-over par, meaning Trevor Immelman's birdie on 18 keeps him around for the weekend. Tom Watson was on the number heading to the tee box on 17 but finished bogey-bogey.
Update: Here's a look at Woods kicking his club on the 16th after a poor shot. Remember, this was the same hole back in 2005 where he registered that unbelievable chip shot.

Article content
George Clooney has opened up about his feud with a British tabloid, insisting it is "fun to slap those bad guys every once in a while".
Earlier this month, the Hollywood star slammed Mailonline.com - the Internet arm of the U.K.'s Daily Mail newspaper - for publishing a false story about his upcoming marriage to British lawyer Amal Alamuddin.
The article suggested Clooney's future mother-in-law was unhappy with the match, and editors at the tabloid subsequently issued an apology, insisting the story was "not a fabrication" but accepting it was "inaccurate".
Clooney publicly rejected the apology, and in a new interview with Variety, the actor admits he continued the feud with tabloid bosses to point out just how inaccurate some of their stories can be.
He explains, "It's just fun to slap those bad guys every once in a while, knock them around."
Clooney adds, "I would sit with my friends and we'd just go, 'So they just sat at a computer and just went, 'OK, this is what I'm gonna say today.' I mean, literally, because you just go 'There isn't literally an element of truth in this.'"
Although Clooney does not take tabloid gossip too seriously, he fears the publication of rumours could lead to a bigger problem in the media: "You just laugh, and let it go. I'm used to it after all these years. But the thing that bothers me is how much the Daily Mail is now bleeding into American press and becoming a source for some pretty legitimate newspapers. So that's the thing that worries me.
"Those are really bad guys and they do tend to tee off on everybody. It's fun when you can go, 'Well, this one, I know I have all the facts right.'
"Usually the argument is: 'Hey, we're not gonna tell you our source,' and, 'Prove it.' And when they actually do it themselves it's so great. You go, 'OK, well you obviously just s**ewed this (up), so I think I can get you now."
He adds, "That's why you pick your fights at a tabloid. Every day they write things that aren't true, but every once in a while they write something that is actually dangerous to your family, and it's probably not true. And that's the one you pick."

New employees and customers are the lifeblood of an organization, bringing with them new energy, new ideas, and new business. In the next 15-20 years, most of these additions will be Millennials--members of "Gen Y", commonly defined as people born between the late 1970s and early 2000s. If you are a corporate leader, you are already coming into frequent contact with this generation, if not yet as customers, then as employees. What measures are corporate leaders taking to ensure strong and positive connections with the next generation? To find out, join this webcast to hear from a generational strategy expert--and learn about the actions she is seeing on her clients' 2013 "must-do" lists.
This webcast is part of the series, Your 2013 "Must-Do" List: Shaping the Future. As expectations for performance grow and resources continue to be tight, it's more important than ever to identify those "critical few" actions that drive the best results. In this new series of webcasts, we'll hear from leaders on the front lines about the issues and opportunities they will address in 2013–why they chose what they did and how the list is different from the past. By participating in the webcast, participants will gain new insights and ideas for their own 2013 lists.
Audience: Executives of corporate shared service organizations who need to recruit with Gen Y employees: communications managers and directors, human capital practitioners, D&I staff, strategy and corporate leadership, and all business managers

XABA, M I. A qualitative analysis of facilities maintenance - a school governance function in South Africa. S. Afr. j. educ. [online]. 2012, vol.32, n.2, pp.215-226. ISSN 2076-3433.
I analysed school facilities maintenance, a school governance function in South Africa. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 principals and three deputy principals as coordinators of this function at their schools. The interviews were purposively and conveniently selected to gather data regarding school facilities maintenance and gain insight into the challenges this function presents to schools and their governing bodies. Findings indicate that schools generally do not have organisational structures for planned facilities maintenance, nor do they have policies on facilities maintenance. Evidence of facilities maintenance at schools mainly relates to concerns with facilities repairs, (mostly "as the need arises") and general campus cleanliness; mostly with emergency and corrective forms of maintenance as opposed to crucial preventive maintenance. Therefore, there is a need for interim facilities maintenance committees and, in the long term, a whole-school approach to facilities maintenance that makes facilities maintenance a strategic lever for school functionality.
Palabras clave : facilities maintenance; facilities maintenance categories; facilities maintenance inspection; facilities maintenance organisation; facilities maintenance planning; facilities maintenance policies; facilities management; school facilities; school facilities maintenance; service systems maintenance.

In an admission that shocks absolutely no one, unnamed sources within the Penn State athletic department have confirmed that associate athletic director Mark Sherburne was fired this week for his role in the investigation of child sex abuse claims against former coach Jerry Sandusky and the administration's failure to properly act on same. Specifically, sources indicate Sherburne was fired for his failure to timely comply with the state Attorney General's subpoena for documents related to the investigation.
One person said Sherburne was dismissed for failing to produce in a timely fashion documents under subpoena by the state Attorney General's office related to its investigation into Sherburne's boss, athletic director Tim Curley. Curley is on administrative leave after being charged with lying to a grand jury and failing to report an abuse allegation against retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
The documents were eventually produced voluntarily and without further court intervention, however information is scarce and it is unclear if Sherburne produced the documents or someone else in the department eventually complied with subpoena.
Just about every high ranking official and his or her cousin declined to comment on the story—deferring to some other department —making this just another Penn State story.

I sincerely hope you guys are all playing XCOM: Enemy Unknown right now. Yeah, Dishonored is great. But XCOM, man… this game has been keeping me up until 3 in the morning night after night. It's amazing.
As we noted in our tips for playing the game, one of the best things about the game is how you can customize and rename your squad. Twitter has been on fire with people sharing their friends' in-game exploits (I have personally been killed like three or four times).
So, we want to see your XCOM squad!
Drop a picture of them in the comments, tell us who they're based on, and share any great exploits they've had.
