Only Half Achieved FcRA VC ill Continue Help to Able-Bodied Needy, Hopkins Declares WASHINGTON. Oct. 3—<U.P>—A tc'.al of 1,126.234 persons are work-ins; under the new deal's $4,000,000.-C00 employment propram, officials ■nounced tonight. The administration's aim is to crid direct federal relief on November 1. by making jobs for 3,500 XX) needy. The procram, according to the latest figures, is 2.373, 766 short of itc goal. Congress mp^e the money available last April 8. Despite the announced total of 1.126.234 person* transferred from relief rolls to payrolls. the employment drive has actually made only 55f,640 new jobs. Officials were counting 566,594 Civili&n Conservation Corps enroll-ees. 300.000 of whom were working before the work-relief program was inaugurated. Administrator Harry L .Hopkins' works progress administration, set up to spend some $2,000,000,000 on quick, cheap employment projects, has made work for 452.739 persons. In all. he probably would provide for 2.500.000. Other governmental agencies — public works with its heavy construction. rural rehabilitation, rural Electrification and oldline department*—have employed another 113,-655. Work-relief officials, with their goal less than half achieved and the deadline less than a month away, still insisted that the program will succeed in ending the dole November 1. Hopkins has announced that the Federal Emergency Relief administration will continue caring for any able-bodied needy it does not employ by that time.

Theta Sigma Phi To Meet Monday Women journalists will make reservations for the first journalism women's luncheon of the year, to be at the Women's Residence haU Monday at 12:15. by signing up today in the Daily Trojan office. The price is 35 cent*. Theta Sigma Phi. women's professional journalism sorority will sponsor the luncheon-meeting, and invites all women in journalism at the university, especially the new women. Monday's luncheon is designed to acquaint them with senior women journalists and the Trojan women's staff. The coed scriveners will decide on time, day, and place most suited for following Wf eklv luncheons. Bengal Game is Expected the editor Permits sroup Pictures it r 1 must pay $25 for its page. All individual pictures are to cost $1 per sitting. This is to be paid to the Gibbon's Studio at the time of sitting. Payments by the fraternities are to be made, half by November 15, 1935 and the remainder by February 15. 1936. In case these payments are not completed by February 15, 1936, the page will be omitted from the El Rodeo and all partial payments forfeited. All organizations that have received space free, such as Skull and Dagger. Trojan Knights, and Trojan Squires will be charged on the same scale as fraternities. To Boost Last Minute Total Considerabl)r Interest in the campaign to sell 2500 activity books appears to be on the upturn as the final hours of the drive approach, according to Marie Poetker, ticket seller in the Student Union book store. The S. C.-College of Pacific football game Saturday will probably be the factor that will boost the sales at the last minute, Miss Poetker said. Even if the 2500 mark is not reached by the end of the drive, it is likely that it will be reached, if not exceeded, in a few days. Beginning of the semester expenses have pressed many students for ready cash, resulting in their postponing of the purchasing of their activity books for a week or so, it was pointed out by Bill Warner and Eileen Gannon, chairman of the campaign. Sales Total 12 Yesterday's sales were 12, bringing the total to 1926, 574 less than the anticipated number. As yet sororities are rushing comparative standings of sororities have not been compiled because the Greek letter women have been occupied with formal rushing, a matter of much more importance to them than the effort to aid in the move to improve the financial standing of the student body. Leaders of the drive emphasized again the bargain awaiting the buyers of the activity books. "More than thirty dollars of value for only $10," BiU Warner said. "This offer is such a definite saving to the students, that It is hard for one to understand why one-hundred per cent support has not been obtained i already." Drive Not Ended Termination of the drive does not i mean that the books will no longer be sold, Miss Poetker said. The ' window will be open every day and I students may purchase their tickets at any time, she added. Two changes were released in percentage totals of the contest. Phi Kappa Tau reached an absolute high with 100 per cant, and Aeneas, men's residence hall, reached a new figure of 79.4. Trojan Loyalty Gauge 1—2500 Now— Goal «••••••••••« 2500 To Date..........tqit To Go 574 Apathy and utter disregard was the only response to attempts yesterday to interest S.C. students in fcrmation of a chapter of the National Students' League, as at least three youths stood on campus corners distributing printed notices of the organization. Par more interesting to the students. gathered on the avenue during the assembly hour was the battle between tha freshmen and sophomores, as the underclassmen sought to throw each other into the pool of the Doheny library foun- j tain. "Red" Squad Late The Los Angeles "red' squad arrived on the campus only after the handbill distributors had left the university, unmolested. Attempts on the part of the few sudents who took the trouble to listen. ' We don't want anything to do with your organization; you'd better move off the campus and quit wasting your time," was the sentiment expressed by a member of the Trojan student body as a group of some twenty surrounded a quite belligerent, unshaven bill-passer clad in gray trousers and sfeater. Belligerent Agitator This man, who had identified ; himself as a student of L.A.J.C., started to grapple with Squire Bob I McWhinney but was advised to stop i by his companions, one of whom I had been distributing the notices j in front of the Administration : building, and another who told him, i "Let them alone, there's too many I of them, and they're too big." Clse Foster and Squire Bob Wood ! followed one of the trio as he went I down 36th to McClintock and : watched a car null up alongside, Trojan Squires Schedule Noon Meeting There will be a meeting of the Trojan Squires today at 12:15 in 206 Administration building, according to Byron Cavaney, president of the organization. In order to get into the games to aid in the preparation of the rooting section for the football games it will be necessary to have an identification card, stated Cavaney. These cards will be given out at the meeting today.

The registration of any student is subject to cancellation if and when he accepts membership in or any measure of affiliation with an organization not approved by the committee." Any student or group of students contemplating joining an organization or assisting in the creation of any club or society should consult the chairman of th? faculty committee before taking any action. R. B. von KleinSmld President Wampus Schedules Freshman Edition Flash—"Oggie' Nash, brilliant editor of the Wampus, last night made a momentous announcement that the Wampus will positively appear October 9. "Oggie' says, "We'll have more and better misinformation than editor Irving Klubok had in his masterpiece." The Wampus has a Freshman theme the first issue. The high light will be a parody on the Freshman handbook. "Oggie' on being questioned what parody meant flashed a toothless smile and wagged his forefinger roughishly. Many excellent features will appear in the coming issue of this most up-to-date magazine. One feature deals with the Southern California intersectional football season. And now, dear readers, comes the best news of all. From a reliable source the information leaked out that another one of those oh-so-funny articles by J. Claude Manderbaugh will be one of the features of the October 9 issue. "Oggie" with his unusual keenness exclaimed. ' Who do you think wrote the article—none other than J. Claude Manderbaugh himself." After J. Claude comes President Eames Bishop giving a most sincere welcome to the new students. The Wampus comes to the aid of prospective fraternity man by in-naugurating a take-a-look-at-back-door week, showing the innocent freshmen that things are not always as they first appear. "Oggie'' Nash comments on this feature by saying. "If things were as they first appear they wouldn't appear first," thus showing the philosophical slant of his mind. Another popular feature of the Wampus will be a page devoted to comments on music and "night life." The usual price of 15 cents will prevail along with plenty of gags and cartoons to orovide good clean fun for every man, woman, and freshman on the campus. The cover of the Wampus will be black and red and is sure to cause comments wherever it is displayed. In fact "Oggie" Nash's closing remark was this; "The Wampus a "U" car bound for downtown. The students treated the handbills with no more interest than if they were the advertising material of some pressing establishment or theater offering a special attraction in this manner. Most of those who did take the sheets tossed them aside with no more than a glance at them. Previous attempts several years ago to establish a chapter of thc N.S.L. on the Southern California campus failsd when no interest was shown and last spring when the L.A.J.C. and U.CL.A. campuses were in constant uproar with anti-war meetings and the like, this student body showed no interest, being more concerned with their real object in coming to college, that being the serious matter of getting an education. tained from any of these girls or at the "Y" house. The decorations committee includes Mary Moore, Letitia Lytle, and Patricia Bamam. This dinner meeting is the first one of its kind ever to be held by the Y.W. for, although this organization is composed of many clubs and groups, due to different meeting days it is difficult for all of the girls to gather together at one time. The social service club, etiquettei, freshman, sophomore clubs and the hostess groups are only a few of the many divisions of this society. Opening the week preceding the Frosh election with an open declaration of war against the Squires, sophomore service organization, members of the freshman football squad threw Squires into the fish pond yesterday. Led into the trap that was laid by the pledges of Kappa Alpha, who this morning summoned the members of the freshmen team, several Squires were asked the way to the fish pond and when they pointed the way they were asked to accompany the group. The first one to be given the royal ducking was none other than Jack Warner, ace photographer for thc Daily Trojan and Wampus. Help came from other Squires in the persons of Bob McWhinney, Jay Brower, Gardiner Pollich, Hal Pitt and Bob Smirl. Jay Brower received the only injury in the fray and he was sent to Georgia street hospital for treatment for a severly cracked knee. Pollich. speaking for the sophomores, issued the call for all sophomore class members under the leadership of Bill Conselman, president of the class, to stand by during the chapel hour in case there is anymore disturbance. Word came from the headquarters of the freshman class that there will be plenty of action during the class election and that this was only the beginning to the fracas that will take place during the interclass brawl on Bovard field. Service Group Names Leaders Sheldon Loughborough was recently elected president of Alpha | Phi Omega, national men's professional service fraternity, it was announced yesterday. Other elections included: Robert DeViliss, vice-president; Earl Westover, secretary; and James Lynch, treasurer. Loughborough also appointed the following committee chairmen: Robert DeVilbiss. program, and David Brown, publicity. A rush smoker will be held Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in the Men's grill, it was anounced. Refreshments will be served. Spanish Officers Chosen Recently John Painter was elected president of the Eta chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, honorary Spanish fraternity, at a recent meeting. Other officers named for the current school year are: Josephine de Rojas, vice-president; Eleanor Farrell, secretary; Charles Brower, treasurer, and Prof. Antonio Heras, sponsor. Elected to membership in the junior year, both men and women who are majoring or minoring in Spanish are eligible. Students are chosen on a high scholarship basis. At the monthlv meetings, a social and educational program is presented with prominent artists, musicians, dancers, and lecturers as hcnor guests. Mrs. Maria Calvo, Madrid, soprano, sang a group of Spanish numbers at the election meeting. Eddie Stones, art editor of the Wampus, would like to meet all cartoonists interviewed in the Wampus office today during the Chapel hour. Plans will be made for the coming year at this meeting, he said.

Mixed Chorus Looks for Talent The mixed chorus stiU has room for sopranos and tenors with good voices and previous singing experience, declared its conductor Alexander Stewart, yesterday. Rehearsals are planned for a cantata to be given during the Christmas season, he continued, and several other major works with the orchestra will be undertaken during the year, as well as shorter pieces. Those interested in this type of group singing are invited to attend the next meeting of the mixed chorus in the Musical Organization building at 2:30. The course can be audited if desired, or one unit of credit will be granted provided work is done in either the men's or women's glee club. I.R. Groups To Hold Luncheon "All student? interested are invited to attend the Tuesday noon luncheon of the Los Angeles University of International Relations club to be held next week in the Women's Residence hall. Plans for the ensuing year and the continu-cance of bi-monthly dinners will be discussed, as well as the policy of the two organizations,' states Arthur Wisner. president of the university student body. Persons well versed ln world affairs and contemporary politics will be scheduled to speak on subjects of concern to students at the meetings of the two campus organizations, Wisner declared. Officers of the Los Angeles University of International Relations for this year include Arthur Wisner, president;; Peggy Waggoner, vice-president; and Jane Radrauff, secretary -treasurer Knopf To Give Bible Address Church To Honor Birthday Of Work With Lecture By S. C. Professor Illustrating difficulties that translators of the first bible faced where parts of parchment were tom off or letters obliterated or sleepy scribes copied the wrong word. Dr. Carl Knopf, professor of biblical literature and archeology, will honor the 400th anniversary of the appearance of the bible next Sunday at the St. Paul's cathederal (Episcopalian) with an address at 7:30. The first edition of the English bible appeared trom an unknown press October 4, 1535, which event throughout America is being celebrated. In addition to other problems, Dr. Knopf will show by illustration the difficulty of expressing in English certain ideas, connotations, bits of humor that were in the bible in the original tongue. For exhibit he will have with him pages from the famous Samarian old testament, the Jewish bible, and hand written letter scrolls and other objects that indicate magnitude of the translation task. "No detective yam." said Dr. Knopf, "has more intricate plot, greater suspence. deeper thrill, or possibilities of cleverness of action than has the task of the student of biblical sciences. Sleuthing for elusive words, lost books, nameless authors and all those intriguing factors that enter into the making and translation of the bible. The reward is worth it for by this process we catch a glimpse of great men, we rediscover great books, 'Outward Bound' Players Will Be Selected Today The first play to be presented by Play Productions this season will be Sutton Vane's "Outward Bound." Everyone in the University is welcome to try out for the cast. Tryouts will be held today in 125 Old College, starting a t one-thirty o'clock. Try-outs will continue Monday from one-thirty to three o'clock with further ones to be announced later. The play calls for nine principals, of equal importance. Touchstone Theater has been chosen as the site for all the Play Productions to be given this season. Encouraged by the activities of little theaters such as those at Yale, Bulletin ROME, Friday, Oct. 4—4U.RV—A government press bureau official told the United Press at 3:50 that so far no official announcement bad been issued that the Italians bombed Aduwa. ROME. Friday, Oct. 4. — (UP)—Eritrea and Italian Somaliland were in a "state of war" today as Italian troops advanced from these colonial territories against Ethiopia. However, the "state of war" proclamation issued in Mogadiscio, Somaliland, by Gen. Emilio de Bono, Italian high commander in Africa, does not constitute a formal declaration of war by Italy against the African empire. By Edward W. Beattw Copyright1935, by United Press. ADDIS ABABA, Oct. 4. (Friday —(HP)—A small Ethiopian force held its positions in the first day* fighting on the northeastern Agam. front against the thrust of Italy's motorized legions, a government announcement said today. Reports from the Agami sector said that fighting there on tin. first day of the Italian drive out of Eritrea south into Ethiopia ended indecisively. The defenders clung to their po-[ sitions throughout the night awaiting resumption of the Italian attack. Casualties 1 n the Agaml fight - Edw. W. Beattie tag were not reported immediately. The sector to east of Aduwa. bombed early yesterday by Italian planes with an unconfirmed loss of life estimated at 1,700. First indication of the Agami battle yesterday was the sound of heavy artillery fire from the direction heard in Aduwa. Emperor Haile Selassie complained to the League of Nations that the Red Cross hospital had been bombed. Men. women, and children, helpless non-combatants, were said tc have perished in the rain of steel from the sky. Foreign diplomats here privately expressed horror at the "unbelievable brutality" of the air attack. The government took all possible precautions for protection of Addis Ababa. Officials prepared to flee to caverns deep in the bowels of the mountain towering over the city at the first warning of plane? in the sky. Y.W.C.A.

Date Night: Casual Elegance at Zampa
Spots for every kind of date.
Zampa isn't the sort of restaurant you'd expect to find on the edge of the Meatpacking District. It's intimate and tiny, for starters, and its fiberglass chairs and wooden tables have a bit of unintentional scruff. Specializing in cheese, charcuterie, and wine, Zampa is made for the kind of date in which you want to show you care without coming off as overly committed.
We ordered two small plates and one large plate to split, along with glasses of light-bodied ruché and vibrantly fruity primitivo. Among its 80-odd choices from Italy, the wine list features a good selection of reds, whites, roses, sparklings, aperitivi, and dessert wines by the glass, half bottle, or bottle. Servers and bartenders thoughtfully answer any questions or suggest pairings. And rather than stare you down as you taste the sample, they might casually step away from the table, as our server did, letting you sniff, swish, and sip on your own.
The bresaola with shiitake mushrooms, pecorino, arugula, and truffle oil ($14) was more than a great salad. Its mushrooms looked like pinwheels but were substantive and savory, thanks to herbs like thyme and oregano. We rooted beneath the arugula to get to the last layer, the six or so silky slices of cured beef, which just about melted on the tongue. For some, the truffle oil will impede the taste of the bresaola, while others will love the slickness atop slickness, rich umami atop slight saltiness. We two were evenly divided.
For our second small plate, we tried the roast shrimp with garlic crostini, white wine, and cannellini white beans ($14). The first bite of garlic crostini was as abrupt as an alarm clock on a Monday morning. Dipping the bread into the not-as-effervescent-as-you'd-expect white wine sauce rendered the garlic milder. The shrimp, boasting char marks, were nevertheless light and deftly done. This could easily work as a main, given the generous bread basket (both white and multigrain slices) that comes at meal's start.
Cracking the crispy cheese atop Zampa's lasagna bolognese ($19) reveals excellently al dente, homemade pasta layered with beef, pork, and porcini ragu and béchamel. This dish was prim and clean, not cheesy or saucy, a reminder that Italian cooking can be restrained as well as boisterous.
The folks behind Zampa also run Bottino and Chop Shop in Chelsea. One side of the tables offers comfy gray couches, the other side Eames chairs in oxblood. Overall Zampa is stylish and a little sexy without being oppressively trendy or romantic. It's the restaurant equivalent of dress jeans and shined shoes, best for: a casually elegant date.

The UHV School of Nursing pinning
• WHEN: 3 p.m.
Nursing and UHV School of Business Administration commencement
• WHEN: 1 p.m.
Arts & Sciences and Education & Human Development commencement
• WHEN: 9 a.m.
The first class from the University of Houston-Victoria's nursing program in The Woodlands will be among students receiving their nursing pins Saturday.
The UHV School of Nursing will pin 28 Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduates and six Master of Science in Nursing graduates.
The pin signifies the nursing program from which a nurse graduated. Each nursing school has its own pin.
Kathryn Tart, founding dean of the UHV School of Nursing, said the ceremony is a special way to recognize the hard work of the graduates.
"It's always a joyous occasion to see our graduates receive their pins, and it will be even more thrilling this time because it marks the ending point for the first class to finish our RN to BSN program in The Woodlands."
UHV offers an accelerated, 12-month RN to BSN program that includes classroom instruction and clinical work every Tuesday.
In addition to previously established programs in Victoria, Sugar Land and Katy, the program was expanded to The Woodlands last year. In June, 20 students began the program by attending classes at the Lone Star College University Center at Montgomery.
Qingli Dong, a nurse who lives and works in The Woodlands, said UHV's program was convenient because it was nearby and face to face.
"Some of my coworkers took online RN to BSN programs, and they never saw any of their professors or classmates," Dong said. "I think it's easier to understand in a classroom setting. It's also easier to get questions answered. There's no need to email and wait for an answer."
Dong earned an associate degree from Lone Star nine years ago.
"It takes some time sacrifices for homework, but the upside is it's only one year," Dong said.
The Woodlands program has gained footing during the academic year with new agreements in place for students to obtain community and case management experience at area schools and hospitals.
"Our students tell us they like attending classes in their own community, and they like being able to talk with the faculty face to face," said Denise Neill, a UHV associate professor and the RN to BSN coordinator.
The pinning ceremony will include a speech from LeAnn Wagner, a longtime nurse and former dean of the Victoria College Allied Health Division. Wagner has been a registered nurse for 44 years. Her experience includes obstetrics, nursery, surgical nursing and house supervision.
In 1973, Wagner began teaching at the El Paso Community College nursing program, serving as a faculty member, level coordinator, discipline coordinator and assistant director of the program. In 1982, she joined the Victoria College faculty in the Associate Degree of Nursing program. She was promoted to dean in 2002, while continuing to serve as the nursing program director.
Wagner has served on many statewide nursing committees.
Wagner retired from Victoria College in January. She works part time as a nursing program site surveyor for the Texas Board of Nursing.

"The Love that Moves the Sun and the Other Stars":
Our Task to Proclaim the Gospel of the God of All Creation
The Most Rev. José H. Gomez
Archbishop of Los Angeles
Commencement Address
Thomas Aquinas College
May 14, 2011
President McLean, Dr. Kelly and members of the faculty; Mr. Wensley and members of the Board of Governors; Father Buckley and Father Raftery; distinguished graduates; all of you my dear brothers and sisters in Christ:
I am touched by the kindness of your invitation to be here and to share this beautiful day of joy with you.
I have been here in Southern California for almost a year now. On May 26, I will celebrate the anniversary of my installation as coadjutor. I have been the Archbishop of Los Angeles since the beginning of March.
I wake up every morning and I realize: I'm not in San Antonio, Texas anymore.
Los Angeles is truly an amazing city, with all of its liveliness and energy, all the diversity of languages, religions, cultures and lifestyles!
I was reading the remarks of Blessed John Paul II when he visited Los Angeles in 1987. He called the city "a great metropolis." He was right. It is truly a city of the world.
And the Church is a kind of microcosm. We have almost 75 ethnic and national groups in the Archdiocese and we celebrate the holy Eucharist and minister to people in more than 40 different languages. It really is what God calls his Catholic Church to be — una familia de Dios – "One family of God," drawn from every country, race and language.
I am humbled and excited by the possibilities for my ministry in Los Angeles. So I ask you please to remember me and my ministry in your prayers.
It is an honor for me to accept the St. Thomas Aquinas Medallion.
I admire this college and your faithfulness to the Church's mission for higher education and the new evangelization. So this is a sincere honor for me.
I have been studying St. Thomas since I was a young man in the seminary. I wrote my thesis on his theology of the virtues and specifically the virtue of courage.
Last year I wrote a book called Men of Brave Heart. I tried to take a fresh look at Thomas's theology in light of the teachings and witness of the saints and I applied this teaching to issues in the moral formation of priests and seminarians.
We need to hear Thomas's voice today — especially his ideas about the image of God and the image of Christ and the teleology or purpose of the human person.
He reminds us that, in the words of the Catechism: "The vocation of humanity is to show forth the image of God and to be transformed into the image of the Father's only Son."
Or in Thomas's own beautiful words: "The ultimate end of things is to become like God!"i
Thomas's concerns are very close to the heart of what I want to talk with you about today.
I want to start with a story that Blessed John Paul II once told. I have been thinking a lot about him. I know you are as overjoyed as I am that he has been beatified.
I have always felt a strong connection of grace with him. I was a new priest, ordained just three months, when he was named Pope in 1978. He called me to be a bishop in 2001 and, not long before his death in 2005, he called me to be an archbishop. And I feel the hand of Providence at work in his being beatified as I begin my ministry here in Los Angeles.
Recently, I was reading some retreat talks he gave for university students of Krakow in 1972, back when he was still Cardinal Karol Wojtyla. In one of these talks, he described a letter he received from a great natural scientist. Here is what that scientist wrote to him:
For the most part, I do not find God on the paths of my science. But there are moments — most often in the face of the majesty of nature, the beauty of the mountains, for example — that a strange thing happens: I, who do not find God on the paths of my science, at such moments, I feel that God exists! And then I begin to pray.ii
This is what I want to talk with you about this afternoon. It is something that concerns me very much.
Why is it that during the course of this good man's scientific work, he could not find God? How come, when he was in his laboratory or doing experiments in the natural world, this great scientist could not discover that God exists? Why did he not think of his scientific work as a kind of prayer, as something pleasing that he could offer to God?
My dear sisters and brothers, he could not because we have allowed Almighty God to become eclipsed in our scientific and intellectual life — in higher education, and in our culture in general.
We have eliminated God from all the processes by which we seek knowledge about ourselves and about our world. God is no longer a factor in our methods. Hence, God is nowhere to be found among our conclusions.
This fact has profound implications for the world you are entering into, my dear young brothers and sisters.
You are entering into a culture in America and in the West that is increasingly secularized and "de-Christianized."
Powerful interests have been at work for decades now, seeking to erase the influence — and even the memory of Western civilization's Christian roots. God has been eclipsed not only in science, but also in our laws and public policies, in our arts and literature, in our schools and media.
The goal, advocates of this effort say, is to get to a "post-Christian society."
They image a beautiful world, liberated from depending on God or superstitious or "magical" thinking. They imagine a society governed by reason and technology, dedicated to individual freedom and the pursuit of material comfort. And they imagine a society that would have no interest in defining the "good life," or making distinctions among the array of religions, cultures, lifestyles and viewpoints we find in the modern metropolis.
Now, I believe this "goal" of a secular, post-Christian society is a seductive illusion and a trap. But that is the subject for another talk at another time.
This afternoon, I just want to point out that this mindset will be a challenge to you, dear graduates. But it forms the territory of your Christian witness and mission. This is the environment in which you are called to proclaim Christ as his disciples.
You are about to commence into a world where more and more of our brothers and sisters live without any awareness of their need for God.
You will realize very quickly that in order to participate in the economic, political, and cultural life of our society, you will be asked to essentially conduct yourself as if you don't believe in God or as if he does not exist.
It is increasingly common today — even for good, faithful people — to treat their religious faith as something private that has nothing to do with the rest of their lives.
You need to resist that temptation in your own lives. But you also have an important duty to confront this culture with the power and the promise of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our world needs to be brought to a new remembrance of the God who created us and redeemed us and who calls us to a love that never ends.
As graduates of this fine Catholic college, you have a unique responsibility for this new evangelization. You must promote a new dialogue of reconciliation between faith and reason.
Blessed John Paul taught us that: "Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of the truth."iii
That is a beautiful saying. God made us with minds that can reason and hearts that can believe. We are "hard-wired" you might say — to seek the truth about who we are, the truth about the world we live in, and the truth about God.
And we can only discover these truths through our use of both reason and faith.
The fundamental problem today is that we have told ourselves that the insights of faith are irrelevant to our study of the world and to the study of the human person.
Our Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI speaks of "the modern self-limitation of reason."iv What he means is that we have told ourselves that there are certain things we can never really know. We have made a decision to limit our reason to only certain kinds of knowledge.
We have told ourselves that we can only know those things that we can experience ourselves or verify by experiments in a laboratory or by a mathematical equation. Everything else is rejected as "subjective," something private and hence unknowable.
Since we cannot "see" God with a telescope or detect the human soul with an MRI machine, we conclude that trying to talk about these realities is a waste of time. We conclude that we cannot know for sure whether they are true or not.
Now, my brothers and sisters, this way of thinking is like going into a fight with one hand tied behind your back, or trying to fly with only one wing.
Do we really want to accept that "reality" is only what we can see or touch or "prove" with experiments? What about the reality of the Eucharist or the sacraments? What about our Confession of Faith — our belief in things that are seen and unseen, visible and invisible?
Our world needs the eyes of faith, my brothers and sisters.
The "modern self-limitation of reason" has led to moral chaos. We are building a world where faith and life are completely separated; a world where knowledge and technical ability are separated from ethics and morality; and where power is divorced from responsibility.
It is a world in which we can identify causes and effects, but not reasons or purposes.
Reason is a great gift from God. But reason alone can't give meaning to our lives. Reason alone can find "no reason" to defend the weak, the unborn, or the human embryo. Reason alone can find no reason, no value in a person born with disabilities.
The Second Vatican Council warned us, and Blessed John Paul stressed again and again: "Without a Creator, the creature vanishes."v When God is unknown, we are unknowable to ourselves.
That is what has happened with the divorce of faith and reason.
Without faith, we can discover how the world works. But not why. We can't know where we come from or how we ought to live. Or why we were created.
Reason gives us only partial truths. But we are made to desire the fullness of truth. We are made to desire our Creator.
The problem today is that our intellectuals and our cultural leaders no longer have confidence. They are skeptical that we can know our Creator from what he has created. So we bracket off the question of God as something we cannot know.
My brothers and sisters, you are commencing into a world that has made the one true God, an "unknown god."
It is a lot like the world that the first Christians lived in. You are entering a world that is a kind of "spiritual bazaar" — filled with ancient religions, new spiritualities, new paganisms, and all sorts of obsessions and substitutes for religious faith.
It is a lot like Athens, when St. Paul visited there in the first century. Do you remember his great speech at the Areopagus, the forum for Athens's cultural elite?
St. Paul said:
Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, To an unknown god. What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.vi
This is your mission as graduates of this great college, my brothers and sisters. You must proclaim the true and living God to a world where he is unknown and considered unknowable.
Blessed John Paul used to talk about the need to evangelize all the new "areopagi" of modern culture. He called us to infuse Gospel values into all the areas where elite attitudes and opinions are formed and expressed — science, politics, business, the arts, philosophy, higher education, popular entertainment, and the media.vii
This is your mission, dear graduates!
Every Christian in every age has to give an account of the hope that is in him!viii In our times, the great defense we have to make is that God is "knowable." We have to help people understand that it is still possible to know God, to love God, and to serve God.
We must tell the world once more, the good news that we have a Creator!
We can know God through reason. As St. Paul said, we can know the invisible nature and eternal power of our Creator, from the visible and temporal things of creation.ix
Science and reason have helped us to see that our world is intelligible, that it is "reasonable." That it operates according to patterns that have a precise order and a predictable logic.
The world is not chaos and random chance. It is the opposite. From the tiniest cell to the orbit of the planets, we know there is an intelligent structure to everything in creation.
This confirms the revelation of faith. This confirms what the Gospel tells us. That in the beginning was the Word, the Logos. And in him all things were created.
But faith opens us to know even more. Faith opens us to know that the Creator is not only divine Reason. He is Love.
He is the one the poet Dante spoke of: The Love that moves the sun and the other stars!x
The designs of nature speak to us of God's love and truth!xi
Creation is the work of God's plan of loving goodness — a plan of love born in the heart of God before the foundation of the world.
This is what we must tell people!
To again quote your patron, St. Thomas Aquinas: "Creatures came into existence when the Key of Love opened his hand."xii
My brothers and sisters, we can never be content with only proving God's existence. We need to proclaim God's love. We need to proclaim him as Lord of creation, and Master of history, and King of every human heart.
We must proclaim the Gospel of the God of all creation to the men and women of our day.
We must tell them the good news that our Creator is a Father of tender mercies.xiii That he made this world for a reason. That he made each one of us for a reason.
We must proclaim that the world exists for the praise of God's glory. And that, as St. Ireneaus declared: "The glory of God is man fully alive."xiv
Dear graduates: You are called to make many converts to the God of all Creation.
I want to leave you with a beautiful story of conversion.
It is the story of one of our contemporaries, a great priest, professor and theologian, Cardinal Avery Dulles. He died just a few years ago at the end of a long and fruitful career of service to the Church.
He had grown up very privileged and as a high-church Presbyterian. His dad, as you may know, was the famous John Foster Dulles, who was secretary of state under President Eisenhower.
But by the time he got to Harvard University in 1936, Dulles had no faith. He was very much a modern man. He believed science had proven religion to be all superstition.
He thought that God was a kind of excuse made up to explain things that could not be explained yet by reason. As he saw it, the world was just a mass of matter and energy. Human life had emerged by chance and evolved according to the process of natural selection.
Dulles remained a seeker after the truth. He loved philosophy and history and poetry.
One day, he was reading St. Augustine's book, The City of God. He got up and took a walk outside. It was springtime and the trees were just starting to bud.
Dulles began to think about the trees. Why every year, at around this time, did the trees and flowers start to bud?
He wrote in his memoir: "The thought came to me suddenly, with all the strength and novelty of a revelation, that these little buds in their innocence and meekness followed a rule, a law of which I as yet knew nothing."xv
Dulles reasoned that if the trees exhibited an order and purpose, there must be some higher power of intelligence behind them, a Designer, a Creator.
That was the start. That night for the first time in years, he prayed the "Our Father," which he had learned when he was a child. He started reading the gospels every day. He discovered and came to fall in love with Jesus Christ.
This is a beautiful story.
We don't know if that scientist who wrote to Blessed John Paul all those years ago ever came to the faith. We do know that the beauty of this world, the beauty of creation, brought him to pray to his Creator, as it did for Cardinal Dulles.
What we must all do, my brothers and sisters, is to help others make this journey also.
We must help them to cross the threshold — from the wonders of this world, from all the beauty in heaven and earth, to know the God of all creation. And to believe in Jesus Christ, the first-born of all creation, through whom he created the world and through whom he upholds the universe, by the Word of his power!
Thank you for your attention today my friends. And thank you again for the great honor of this St. Thomas Aquinas Medallion.
I ask the intercession of Our Blessed Mother, the Seat of Wisdom, that our Father in heaven will bestow upon you all the blessings of creation and salvation.xvi

NEW ORLEANS -- UnitedHealth Group Inc. and the Louisiana Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs are bringing a 12-month program to help obese and overweight children lose weight. The classes are only for families on the company's Medicaid plan in the New Orleans area.
The company's UnitedHealthcare unit says the program, called Join for Me, gets families involved in lifestyle and behavior changes to help children lose weight.
"Children who are overweight and obese often want to lose weight, but can't figure out how to do it," said Dr. Ann K. Logarbo, chief medical officer for UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Louisiana.
For obese and overweight children, losing weight can reduce the risk of physical and emotional health problems. Obese children are more likely to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes, all of which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
In the program, an otherwise healthy child and a parent attend 16 weekly group sessions to learn how to eat better and get more active. At each group session, they get worksheets with topics and goals for a session at home. Those are followed by monthly maintenance sessions for up to eight months more.
Children are taught how to keep tabs on what they do, eat and weigh, and to limit screen time to two hours a day five days a week.
They're also taught a "Yes! and less" system to help their daily calorie count. Fruits, vegetables, lean meats and high-fiber foods are "Yes!" foods that they should concentrate on while limiting high-calorie, low-nutrition foods such as sweets, pizza, fried foods and sugary drinks to two servings a day.
A pilot program in Rhode Island was run through the YMCA. A report on that program, published in the journal Pediatrics, said it can be run by people who don't have experience in treating pediatric obesity, making widespread use possible.
The insurance company and alliance were holding a community forum on childhood obesity Tuesday morning at the New Orleans bionnovation Center.
Classes will be held at some Boys & Girls Clubs for families enrolled in a UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Louisiana Medicaid health plan. The company says it plans to use the program in some areas as part of preventive care for families who have its employer-provided health insurance or government-sponsored Medicaid managed care plans.
"Poor diet and a lack of physical activity are taking a devastating toll on the health of children in Louisiana, which has one of the highest rates of childhood obesity in the country," said Pat Van Burkleo, president of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeast Louisiana and the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge. Van Burkleo said the New Orleans program is a first step toward making it more widely available in Louisiana.

Extreme Sports
Extreme sports (also called action sports, aggro sports, and adventure sports) is a popular term for certain activities perceived as having a high level of inherent danger. These activities often involve speed, height, a high level of physical exertion, and highly specialized gear. While use of the term extreme sport has spread far and wide to describe a multitude of different activities, exactly which sports are considered extreme is debatable.

The media is dissolved during filtration, thus the cartridge should be replaced prior to complete depletion. As the Calcite's calcium carbonate neutralizes the water, it will increase hardness and a softener may become necessary after the neutralizing filter.

"I'm not sure I can add very much value to what the other speakers have already said," Mohamed El-Erian humbly began in a speech at the 2012 Strategic Investment Conference Thursday afternoon, jointly hosted by the alternative investment firm Altegris and Millennium Wave Investments in Carlsbad, Calif.
The CEO of the bond giant PIMCO, which has $1.3 trillion in assets under management, quoted Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke when saying, "We are living in unusually uncertain times."
"I am going to start with Europe, but not talk about it specifically," he said. "Rather, I am going to use Europe as a prism through which to view the world and our industry."
He then posed three hypotheses. The first is that Germany's outlook cannot be divorced from Europe or the world in general and vice versa, "they are incredibly interlinked." The second is that progress on the crisis is undermined by a lack of common analysis and vision. The third is that, as a result, we are in a world of "third- or fourth-best [solutions], as opposed to first."
He then turned to five discussion points for the remainder of his presentation.
- What lies at the heart of Europe's trouble?
- How have policymakers responded?
- We must evaluate Germany as the "good house in a bad neighborhood."
- What are the global parallels to the European crisis?
- What are the implications for how we should invest?
El-Erian addressed the first point by noting that Europe, with the exception of Germany, has essentially not grown in 12 years. While Germany has managed to stay ahead of the rest, the other countries are less competitive as a result of the "retrenchment" the euro zone is currently experiencing.
"They've accumulated debt in all the wrong areas; meaning in the weak euro zone areas as opposed to the strong," he added. "They have too little growth, too little competitiveness, too much debt and debt that has been applied to the wrong areas."
The policymakers' response was to go from "denial to political and policy catch-up to the gradual emergence of a more holistic approach through four interrelated components." The four components are:
- Getting the growth and austerity mix right (Europe is not yet there)
- Protect the outer periphery countries as well as the inner core
- Strengthen the core by "re-founding" Europe
- Build a bridge to prosperity through the use of liquidity
"Europe understands this list now, but the implementation of its components lags," El-Erian said. "It went from stable to 'bimodal' with fat tails. What will Europe be in a year? There is a high probability there will be a re-founding of Europe using the West and East Germany as a model. There is a lower probability it will fragment. If that happens it will be a total mess for Europe and the world. But it will tip one way or another and either way will be bumpy."
The United States is a house in their neighborhood, and therefore Americans should be concerned, he continued.
"Germany needs a partner, which is one reason you see a German chancellor actively campaigning for a French president. That is very unusual but they have a good relationship; basically, Merkel makes the decisions and Sarkozy explains them to the world," he quipped to laughter from the audience.
As far as the fourth point, the parallels between Europe and the rest of the world are:
- The robustness of the U.S. economy is facing structural impediments to growth
- The U.S. policy response from the Fed is "tactically smart" but strategically short-sighted
- There is a large and growing dependency on policies that fundamentally change the functioning of the markets
- Outer countries in many other parts of the world are not willing to move to the center
- There is a question of how the global economic system will evolve from here.
He concluded with the implications for investing, which he called the "Great Escape."
"In the short term, investors must escape the world of deleveraging. They must stay in the game as others try to pick their pockets in the market."
Comparing investors to Muhammad Ali's strategy for beating George Foreman in the "Rumble in the Jungle," he said investors must be able to absorb market blows and be agile enough to react quickly.
"We are living in a global realignment that our children and grandchildren will be talking about. We can't see it, because we are so close to it, but make no mistake, it's there."

Police and Crime Commissioner: Accountability
PUBLISHED: 12:22 15 November 2012 | UPDATED: 17:14 15 November 2012
Police and crime commissioner candidates were grilled by East Devon residents over concerns of accountability, and their commitment to the role.
Candidates Tony Hogg (Conservative), Brian Blake (Lib Dem), William Morris (Independent), Nicky Williams (Labour), Brian Greenslade (Independent) and John Smith (Independent) faced questions from residents at the meeting organised by Honiton Senior Voice yesterday (Wednesday).
Fellow candidates standing in the election Tam MacPherson (Independent), Ivan Jordan (Independent), Robert Smith (UKIP) and Graham Calderwood (Independent) were unable to attend.
Tony Hogg (Conservative): "We are accountable by definition from the start. You elect us and can dismiss us if you don't think we are doing a good job.
"You are going to get the Hogg brand of commitment. You are going to get 110 per cent from me."
John Smith (Independent) said: "Accountability comes in many ways. We will be accountable to the community any way through meetings like this. I
"In three and half years there will be another one of these elections then you can decide if the person did a good job the first time."
He added: "I will be stepping down from all my work to concentrate full-time on the police and crime commissioner role."
William Morris said: "This has to be a full-time job and I will give 110 per cent.
"This particular post is all about accountability and consultation. Of course it will make the police service itself accountable and we will make ourselves accountable to you."
Accountability, he says, will be done through meetings and engaging with the people.
Brian Greenslade said: "The commissioner will be accountable to the public from the ballot box in three and a half years.
"It important to get out and about in the community and talking to people. It is very important to test the temperature - not all the time should be spent at the office.
"I will put in the time it takes to do the job. It is not a set pattern of hours and I will adjust my commitments as I find out what needs to be done."
He explained that the commissioner will be made accountable by the Police and Crime Panel who will decisions made by the commissioner.
Mr Greenslade said he will not be stepping down from his other responsiblities and gave assurances he will give the time needed for the job to be done.
Nicky Williams said: "It is a full-time position and I would treat it as such. I will devote the time it takes to do the job."
She said she is determined to have a people panel to reflect community views and priorities as well as meetings with other meetings with more hard to reach groups and attending events.
Miss Williams said mechanisms will be in place to look at why decisions have been made and the the public can be part of the process.
"I will listen to publics voice and make sure their voice is heard. Of course if the commissioner doesn't do the job you can get rid of them in three and half years."
Brian Blake said: "I have never had a nine to five job. This will have my total commitment.
He added: "We take an oath of impartiality."
Mr Blake said there would be accountability to the public via social media including Facebook and Twitter as well as contact with the public by email and police surgeries.
Fellow candidates standing - Tam MacPherson (Independent), Ivan Jordan (Independent), Robert Smith (UKIP) and Graham Calderwood (Independent) - were unable to attend the meeting.
Robert Smith (UKIP) – He is a chartered child and educational psychologist has has been in private practice for more than 20 years. He provides advice to courts regarding child protection and family issues.
He says he wants the police to be tough on crime and wants to reconnect the police with the people and their communities.
Tam Macpherson (Independent)- He aims to reduce crime and cut reoffending, protect victims and witnesses and introduce greater transparency and accountability to improve the quality of the police service.
Ivan Jordan (Independent) - He is an architect and farmer. He lists tackling hate crime as a priority area, as well as focusing on strong community policing, protecting the force from privitisation and smarter budgeting.
Graham Calderwood (Independent) - A criminal lawyer for 40 years, he is now a part-time advocate and duty solicitor.
He says he would look to using officers more efficiently and look at how procedures can be improved.

From Openmoko
Qi is a boot manager. It is designed to replace uBoot. But Qi will be simpler and faster.
Qi's concept is it leaves everything possible to Linux, that includes even the video init. Therefore Qi does NOT provide a boot menu. The usual NOR uBoot menu you use to flash your Neo (Aux first, power second, wait for menu) of course works fine, but if you try the usual procedure to fire up NAND uBoot (Power first, aux second, wait for menu) you get no response. (not even the 'backlighted black screen')
Qi will boot from any kernel named uImage-GTA0[123...].bin in the /boot folder in the root of an ext2 or ext3 partition on the uSD card.
- Qi looks for a kernel in the first, second and third partition, silently ignoring FAT partitions.
- Qi expects the / (root) filesystem to be on the same partition as /boot.
- If both uImage-GTA02 and uImage-GTA03 files are present, Qi loads the right one for the machine.
Failing to find a kernel in the SD card, Qi will boot from the kernel in NAND (if the kernel works of course, see below). Failing to find a valid kernel, Qi perform a memory test. It means that one can either move kernels out of the way to get the memory test, or make an SD Card just with normal Qi on it and no kernels to get a memory test.
- Up to Nov. 28th, Qi would blink the blue Power LED a fraction of a second every 10 secs or so to say nothing valid to boot.
Download and installation
The daily download is a qi-s3cXXXX-andy_somenumber.udfu file at http://people.openmoko.org/andy/ . (look at your dmesg output for the CPU to pick the right s3c* version.)
The installation should be flashing like;
# dfu-util -a u-boot -R -D qi-s3c6410-andy_8589b40295653557.udfu
Source code
git://git.openmoko.org/git/qi.git , http://git.openmoko.org/?p=qi.git;a=summary . One can also just use strings(1) on the .udfu file to get an idea of where Qi currently looks for files.
Enabling console messages
[1] If it's SD Card boot, just create a text file, e.g., for a GTA02 use
on the rootfs in question, put in there
console=tty0 loglevel=8
and you'll see the messages on boot. If it's NAND right now you need to edit the default commandline in Qi for gta02.
Testing speed improvements
Stopwatch results on Qi (error is approx ±1/2 second):
Booting SHR image with uBoot:
- 0:00 power button held down
- 0:07 splash screen appears
- 0:15 drops to console showing kernel messages scrolling by for ~1 minute
- 1:18 Openmoko 'please wait' splash
- 1:31 desktop animated splash
- 2:38 finished booting
Booting identical setup with Qi flashed over uBoot:
- 0:00 power button held down
- 0:06 backlit black
- 0:13 please wait booting... (only this text on console for next 38 seconds)
- 0:51 Angstrom console message (at the end of kernel output with uBoot, but ONLY text display to appear throughout this stage with Qi)
- 0:54 Openmoko 'please wait' splash
- 1:05 desktop animated splash
- 1:54 finished booting
So for this particular configuration, it reduced time-to-desktop by about 28%, about 44 seconds. Surprisingly, the later segments of booting (desktop) were also noticeably faster than with uBoot - One would have expected just the fist stages up until init (kernel finished establishing itself) to be faster.
- Qi won't boot the 'first try' after power restored - the tester didn't count that first 10 seconds for Qi to be fair to its booting speed, not penalize it for what appears to be a bug that bears no relation to actual boot speed).
- The current (Oct. 12, 2008) 2.6.27 kernel does not boot from the build-in flash NAND. It only works from the uSD boot on ext3. If one tries to boot it from the flash, then AUX red LED blinks ~4/sec. This means kernel panic... It's panicking because it has no rootfs because it can't mount the jffs2 because of the CRC errors because there is a bug that the mtd are not done properly.
- Qi often doesn't want to resume after suspend.
- Qi is able to load kernels larger than 2MB correctly, uBoot has a bug.
- Without "console=tty0 loglevel=8" in append-GTA02, and especially the loglevel variable, Qi fails to boot the SD, claiming it has an unknown root device (2,0).
LED codes summary
- One Blue shine every ~10 second: did not found any valid kernel to boot
- About four RED shines per second: kernel panic.

FEAR FACTORY: Dallas Footage Available
The new lineup of FEAR FACTORY performed live on May 2 at Trees in Dallas, Texas as part of its North American tour with SHADOWS FALL, THE BROWNING, THE DEVASTATED and LEGACY OF DISORDER. Fan-filmed video footage of the concert can now be seen below.
FEAR FACTORY recently enlisted Matt DeVries as the band's new bass player. DeVries, previously of CHIMAIRA (where he played guitar) and most recently SIX FEET UNDER, joined FEAR FACTORY as the replacement for Byron Stroud (now with 3 INCHES OF BLOOD).
FEAR FACTORY has tapped Mike Heller (MALIGNANCY, SYSTEM DIVIDE) as its new touring drummer.
Commented Heller: "It is an incredible honor to be chosen as the new drummer for FEAR FACTORY! It's something I never would have dreamt of as a kid listening to 'Soul Of A New Machine' and 'Demanufacture' over and over again in middle school. It's also an incredible honor to be following in the footsteps of two of the most amazing and influential drummers in metal drumming history. I hope to continue their legacy, creating some of the most forward-thinking and innovative music available today."
"Recharger", the new single from FEAR FACTORY, can be purchased via iTunes. The track comes off the band's new album, "The Industrialist", which is due in North America on June 5 via Candlelight Records. The CD is a conceptual record based around a story written by vocalist Burton C. Bell. Lyrics to the album's ten songs divulge the narrative as discussed recently by Bell with Decibel magazine. The album's artwork was created by American designer Anthony Clarkson with additional direction from the band. The album will be available on three formats — standard CD, a limited edition deluxe digi-book (featuring two additional songs), and 180-gram double vinyl.
Bell notes, "The protagonist (The Industrialist) is the incarnation of all industries in the form of an automaton. The mechanical, technological, and scientific advances through the industrial age led to the creation of The Industrialist. In the story, the automaton becomes sentient as it collects memories with each passing day. Through observation and learning, it gains the will to exist. What was meant to help man, will eventually be man's demise."
"The Industrialist" again pairs FEAR FACTORY with producer Rhys Fulber. Mixed by Greg Reely (PARADISE LOST, SKINNY PUPPY, MACHINE HEAD), with additional tracking by Logan Mader (GOJIRA, DIVINE HERESY), the album is the second written by Bell and guitarist Dino Cazares since reuniting in 2009 after a seven-year split. Cazares says, "Collaborating with Burton again on the new album was like magic. Everything just fell into place naturally. It felt good to recapture the true sound of FEAR FACTORY, taking it back to where it all started while raising it to new levels." Regarding Fulber, Cazares says, "Rhys has been our secret member. He is the one producer who has been able to understand what we have been trying to accomplish from the beginning and has opened our eyes to new things without sacrificing our original sound. His production and keyboard talents has made FEAR FACTORY stand out amongst the many bands of our genre."

From the Makers of PLANET EARTH, Epic Natural History Series Narrated by Alec Baldwin
(Los Angeles, Ca., December 6, 2011) - Discovery Channel announces today that FROZEN PLANET, the seven-part series from the acclaimed documentary team behind PLANET EARTH, will premiere in the United States on Sunday, March 18, 2012 from 8-10PM ET/PT, and air on subsequent Sundays at 8PM ET/PT. A Discovery Channel/BBC co-production four years in the making, FROZEN PLANET will be narrated by award-winning actor Alec Baldwin.
FROZEN PLANET will provide the ultimate portrait of our earth's polar regions, where the scale and beauty of the scenery and sheer power of the natural elements are unlike anywhere else on the planet. To capture nature's majestic power - as well as its ultimate fragility - FROZEN PLANET's filmmakers utilized the latest cinematographic techniques and technology to capture groundbreaking imagery both above and below the ice in some of the most extreme and remote regions of our planet. The series' seventh episode, hosted on camera by British naturalist David Attenborough, will investigate what rising temperatures will mean for the people and wildlife that live there - and for the rest of the planet.

Free of Clive Palmer's grasp, Prime Minister Tony Abbott turned in a brilliant performance as a world statesman only to have his Treasurer rain on his parade.
A book about the life and times of Joe Hockey has Peta Credlin, Mr Abbott's chief-of-staff, speaking far above her station in life and anointing Mr Hockey as the leading leadership contender.
Then there is Mr Hockey's wife Melissa Babbage revealing her husband could not trust another Liberal leadership hopeful, Malcolm Turnbull.
Mr Hockey is even quoted uttering the death of a salesman-like opinion that his budget is much softer than he would have liked.
The authorised biography, Hockey: Not Your Average Joe, by Fairfax Media columnist Madonna King - a former News Limited journalist and ABC broadcaster - has rudely shattered Canberra's mid-winter calm.
The nation's capital habitually goes into hibernation, with MPs in their electorates or heading overseas to the warmth of the northern hemisphere on parliamentary fact-finding missions.
Now Coalition colleagues are muttering about Mr Hockey's sense of self-importance and timing.
Mr Hockey told friends who gathered at the North Sydney Oval book launch on Thursday that the release date was not of his choosing. He said he had agreed to take part more than a year ago, when in Opposition.
''I took advice from Tony Abbott and a number of other people and decided to co-operate,'' he said.
As to his wife's opinion on Mr Turnbull's trustworthiness?
''They were her words and they were uttered a while back. I work closely with Malcolm ... I speak to him regularly ... I trust Malcolm Turnbull, yes.''
And that business about the budget being softer than he would have liked?
''My job is to prosecute the case. Commentators want to have it both ways; on the one hand they said 'Joe didn't have the ticker to do what needs to be done' and when Joe is part of a team that lays down what needs to be done, they say otherwise,'' Mr Hockey said.
Mr Hockey thought the book's critics were disappointed by its revelation that he and Mr Abbott were very close, a ''welcome change in a relationship between a treasurer and a prime minister''.
But as to Hockey, PM? ''We'll leave that to destiny.''
None of Mr Hockey's federal colleagues attended the book launch.
A cabinet meeting in Canberra and a remembrance service took precedence. He said some were overseas.
However, the Hockey club at North Sydney included Nick and Kathryn Greiner, John Fahey, Peter Collins, Bruce Baird, Don Harwin, Gladys Berejiklian, George Souris, Peter Coleman, Andrew Denton and Jennifer Byrne.
Another Fairfax columnist, Peter FitzSimons, who is a close friend of Mr Hockey, launched the book.
Their families often dine together on Sunday nights. FitzSimons' wife, the Nine Network Today program co-host Lisa Wilkinson, acted as compere.
King received the biggest laugh when noting that her book recorded Mr Hockey's desire to enter hospital for stomach surgery under the pseudonym Dirk Diggler (the name of Mark Wahlberg's porn star character in the 1997 film Boogie Nights).
The doctors knew best, and he was admitted as Joe Little.
''And that's unlikely to help negotiations with Jacqui Lambie,'' Ms King said.

Morenci students will face some changes when they return to class Tuesday for the 2011-12 school year.
With less than a week until the doors open, last-minute preparations remain ongoing as administrators wrestle with staff cuts and uncertain enrollment.
Elementary school students will see the fewest staffing changes. As of Monday, Chris Mansfield was slated to move from third grade to developmental kindergarten.
Melissa Elliott will join Brigell Bovee-Vernier and Holly Bella in a kindergarten room. Other grades will have two teachers each: first, John Craig and Liz Jarrell; second, Teresa Barrett and Tatum Penrod; third, Robin Borton and Kelly Bush; and fourth, Beth Wright and Natalie Zuvers.
Andi Rorick will spend half of the day at the elementary school in a Title I role and half the day at the middle school as a special education teacher.
Middle/High School
Closer ties between the middle and high school are in place for the new school year, with more staff members serving in both locations and with an updated student handbook that serves both schools.
New principal Kelli Campbell worked over the summer with staff members to make the changes and create a shared policy book.
Students and parents have been alerted to changes in the handbook, including alterations to the dress code and a rule that forbids the use of cell phones and other signal-receiving devices during all school hours.
The handbook lays out the consequences for infractions—first offense, second offense, third offense, etc.—with continuing problems generally resulting in in-school or out-of-school suspension or attendance at Saturday School.
The handbook, which includes athletic policies, is available on the newly designed school website.
Academic changes include a new approach to foreign language. After experiencing continuing difficulty in trying to attract a part-time Spanish teacher, the decision was made to give the commercial product Rosetta Stone a try. Hudson schools have already taken that approach.
The obvious disadvantage, said counselor Diana Fallot, is the absence of a certified Spanish teacher, but the highly-regarded program allows a student to study one of many languages other than Spanish. A course is also available for students needing English as a second language.
All teachers will either take a turn in the computer lab for one trimester or take on an extra class for a trimester. This will serve staffing needs and also work toward equalizing the amount of planning time available for the upper grade teachers compared to those at the elementary school.
A paraprofessional is expected to be hired for the computer labs, but a certified teacher is also required to oversee on-line courses.
Matt Bostick will put his social studies credentials to use this year by teaching history and social studies classes at both schools, splitting his time between the two schools.
Brad Brown will teach a new probability/statistics course to provide one more option for the fourth year of mathematics. He will also serve as the "guided academics" teacher for the first trimester to provide help to students needing extra assistance.
Kerry Neiman, Kim Mohr and Dennis Quist will each have at least one class in the middle school, and middle school teachers Jim Bauer and Renae Schaffner will each spend some classroom time at the high school.
Fifth grade teacher Dan Hoffman will continue to teach Project Lead the Way science courses. By the end of the school year, all seventh and eighth grade students will have completed the experience—a necessary requirement before the class is introduced at the high school level.
The administration will keep a close watch on fifth grade enrollment over the first two weeks of school before deciding whether or not a third section is needed. A classroom aide will be present in each room to start the school year to help with the large enrollment.
Once classes are underway next week, there are no planned days off for students until the first parent/teacher conferences Oct. 20.

Cisco this week unveiled the fruits of its $5 billion acquisition of video software maker NDS with a product designed to enable media companies to deliver synchronized multiscreen video services.
The product, called Videoscape Unity, combines the NDS software with Ciscos Videoscape Internet TV platform, which was introduced at the CES consumer electronics conference two years ago. Cisco unveiled Videoscape Unity at this years CES conference in Las Vegas.
IN PICTURES: Best of CES 2013
Included in Videoscape Unity is a multiscreen cloud digital video recorder (DVR), which enables consumers to restart shows, catch up on past programs, and play back DVR-captured content from anywhere, on any screen, Cisco says. Videoscape Unity also includes unified search, discovery, and viewing functions to allow consumers to watch premium live and on-demand content on any connected device regardless of location, the company says.
Cisco also rolled out a connected video gateway for Videoscape Unity that serves as a single entertainment hub, with back-end management of IP and QAM video, for distributing video content to any IP-connected device in the home. Another component of Videoscape Unity is IP Video over Cable, which is designed to give consumers expanded choice of content and IP video services across a wider range of service provider managed devices.
Videoscape Unity was created by integrating Cisco Videoscape with the assets and business model of NDS, Cisco says. Cisco acquired NDS last year.
The new platform comprises a set of cloud, network and client based components, connected by open interfaces. The cloud and network components are the engines behind personalized video services, and enable multiple screens to be synchronized to create a single unified experience for the subscriber content looks and feels the same no matter what device they use, Cisco says.
Client components use an interface called Cisco Snowflake and NDS Media Highway multiplatform clients. The client software allows network operators to design user experiences, add them to clients for connected devices and set-top boxes, and deploy them across multiple screens and throughout large service footprints.
As a whole, Videoscape Unity is intended to allow operators to quickly add new content and services to subscriber endpoints with little time, effort and expense.
Cisco is also offering, for the first time, Videoscape "as a service," allowing operators to have Cisco build, monitor, operate and host their video infrastructures.

Google CEO on Obama Tech Czar Job: No ThanksBy Reuters - Print
Google CEO Eric Schmidt will not take the job of Chief Technology Officer of the U.S. government if asked by a new Obama administration.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said Friday he would not serve as technology czar in Barack Obama's administration if he was asked.
"I love working at Google and I'm very happy to stay at Google, so the answer is no," Schmidt said in response to a question from CNBC host Jim Cramer in an appearance on his television show.
Schmidt, who was one of the president-elect's most high-profile supporters, was in Chicago Friday as part of Obama's 17-person economic transition economic advisory board. The group met to discuss how to deal with the ongoing financial crisis.
Schmidt said he detected a sense of urgency in Obama, who he expects to "listen carefully" and act. The meeting was one of "great seriousness," he said.
Schmidt favors a new stimulus package that is more carefully focused than the previous effort. He said the first stimulus plan was "a bad decision on their part. A much better decision is to give out money that solves some other problem, like infrastructure."
He also said Obama shares his belief that green technology can help to revitalize the economy. Laid-off autoworkers in Michigan could be put back to work building batteries for use in hybrid vehicles, Schmidt offered.
Google has been active in investing in green technology companies, and Schmidt has expressed a deep personal interest in the area.
When asked about the current state of advertising, Schmidt acknowledged that times were tough. Google is the dominant player in Internet search advertising.
"Advertising is one of the first things that get cut, and its almost always a mistake, because you advertise to get revenue."
However, Schmidt said he expects advertising to bounce back quickly.
Shares of Google closed the regular session down 8 cents at $331.14.

Morning Showers and Storms
Strong thundershowers and storms are moving through Oklahoma this morning.. For all indications these showers and storms will be moving through NW Arkansas and the River Valley this morning between 6:00 and 8:00.
The storms are moving very quickly to the ESE at about 35-40 mph. Currently the showers and storms are staying below the "severe weather" criteria -- so now watches or warnings have been issued. That doesn't mean, however, that you should ignore them.
It is likely that strong wings, locally heavy downpours, and possibly small hail may be associated with these showers and storms. Be sure to tune in to SUNRISE this morning starting at 4:30 and stay with 40/29 throughout the day for the latest weather information.
