The Develop Conference today announced the ten games shortlisted to be on display within the Indie Showcase running from 20–21 July in the Develop Expo.
"The response to the Indie Showcase has been amazing. The standard of the games submitted has been exceptional and are a real testament to the innovation and creativity of indie developers," commented Adam Green of Assyria Games and chair of the judging panel. "Needless to say, it was a very difficult decision for both myself and the rest of the judges to narrow the list down to these final ten; if only we could feature them all! However I'm very excited to see what other developers and publishers think of these games when they have a chance to play them at Develop in a couple of weeks."
Delegates to the conference will be able to play all ten games on 20 and 21 July in the Indie Showcase area situated within the Expo. The winning game as chosen by the judges will be announced at 1.30pm on Thursday 21 July.
There will also be the chance for all attendees to vote for their favourite Showcase game in the People's Choice Award – voting slips to be provided and awards presented to the winning developer in a ceremony closing the conference at 5pm on the Thursday.
The Indie Showcase shortlisted games are:
- The Dream Machine by Cockroach - a point & click adventure game on PC with characters and props made out of materials like clay and cardboard. You play as a couple who've just moved into a new apartment and discover that all is not as it seems.
- Kairo by Locked Door Puzzle - an atmospheric 3D exploration and puzzle solving game on PC. Enter this lost world and slowly uncover the true purpose of Kairo and fulfil a great destiny.
- Skulls of the Shogun by Haunted Temple Studios - this arcade strategy game on PC is an invigorating cocktail of 1960's flavoured sorcery, arcade button mashing pace and turn based strategy.
- Amoebattle by Intrinsic Games - a real-time strategy game developed for the Nintendo DSi. You are a microbiologist with the ability to control amoebas and you must use strategy and wits to defend the microscopic world!
- GliD by Spiderling Games - a single player exploration game on PC in which you play as a small robot tasked with exploring and restoring an abandoned world.
- Orc Attack by Casual Brothers – a beat'em up multiplayer game for PC, Xbox 360 & PS3. Take the role of a funny and somewhat grubby Orc warrior, who needs to help his mates to recapture their ancestral lands.
- The Swapper by Facepalm Games - an ambient puzzle platformer, it features game mechanics centred around the main character's ability to create clones and swap consciousnesses with them.
- Fate of the World by Red Redemption - a PC game that uses scientific models as a backdrop to a challenging and thought-provoking strategy simulation.
- Creavures by Muse Games - set in a world with beautiful phosphorescent colours players will take control of five miniature mythical creatures to help them solve mysterious platforming puzzles.
- To-Fu The Trails of Chi by HotGen – an iPad game where the player's main objective is to reach the mystical Fortune Kitty - however, more experienced gamers will enjoy the optional challenge of collecting the game's 300 emblems.

The Movie:
With the perky 1935 musical Thanks A Million, Fox's Cinema Archives made-to-order DVD program unearths another "too good to be forgotten" flick from their holdings. Fox is going way back into the archives for this splashy production, among the earliest films released under the 20th Century Fox banner (the merging of the Fox Film Corporation and 20th Century Pictures took place over the summer of 1935; this came out the following November).
Belying its typical appearance, Thanks A Million stands out a bit by incorporating political satire with song and dance. Is it a pip, or all wet? Read on.
Our story revolves around a ragtag band of unemployed touring musicians, headed by Dick Powell's affable crooner, Eric Land. Also in the troupe is Eric's lovely singer-dancer girlfriend, Sally (Ann Dvorak), Sally's wisecracking musical partner, Phoebe (Patsy Kelly), and the group's opportunistic manager, Ned Allen (radio star Fred Allen in his first film). Arriving in a Podunk upstate New York town, the musicians take shelter from a rainstorm in a local theater where a campaign speech is being delivered by a pompous candidate. Although aspiring governor Judge Culliman (Raymond Walburn) speaks to a packed house, the crowd empties out once word gets around that the thunderstorm has passed. Backstage, Ned visitis Culliman and his backers, proposing that his troupe would energize the campaign rallies by having the man serve as part of a larger, more appealing musical program. The gambit proves to be so popular that Eric Land ultimately upstages Culliman when he delivers a speech in place of the drunken candidate. His folksy, brutally honest speechifying proves the be such a hit that Culliman's backers urge Eric to run for governor instead. Eric accepts, mostly for the publicity, but it lands him in hot water with Sally when the wife of one of the campaign's wealthy donors becomes infatuated with him.
Thanks A Million satisfies as Depression-era escapism, with plenty of interesting/odd musical performances and a sprightly cast led by the surprisingly good Powell (about as untethered as he's ever been). The political angle, with the flashy tyro winning out over the old fuddy duddy, has a sharp and oddly prescient edge (thank Nunnally Johnson's script, brimming with 1930s-style dialogue). With its big-city knowingness, the film actually comes across like the sassy, contemporary product put out by Warner Bros. at the time. Not surprising, since this was produced by Darryl F. Zanuck, who had recently left Warners to strike out on this new venture (where he'd settle for decades). It entertainingly drives home the theme of the common guy making good, with the help of emerging technology of radio.
Speaking of radio, Thanks a Million also holds interest as a vehicle for Fred Allen, a popular radio comedian of the day a la Jack Benny. Like Benny, Allen never made a comfortable transition to the movies (or TV, where he was a long-time game show panelist). His characterization of type-A manager Ned Allen is much more abrasive than his radio personality, but at least this offers a rare glimpse of a radio legend in action on celluloid. Grating as he can be, the actor is nicely matched up with the salty Patsy Kelly (after Allen suggests going to the automat for a meal, Kelly quips "Who's got the nickel?"). The film also gives the usually emotive Ann Dvorak a chance to sing and dance (she's great; Kelly, not so much). As noted before, Dick Powell sings and acts with gusto, positively liberated at the chance to break free from the thankless "boy singer" roles from the Busby Berkeley extravaganzas that made him famous.
And what about the music? The original songs by Arthur Johnston and Gus Khan have a perfectly charming sass which falls perfectly in line with the can-do story. In addition to the lead actors, there are a few odd specialty performers in support. One is a quiet yet oddly irritating violin virtuoso, part of Fred Allen's troupe, who goes by the name Rubinoff. An ingratiating singing group rounds out the troupe - The Yacht Club Boys, part harmony singing combo, part slapstick comedians. The relatively loose, modest musical doings are interrupted by an overblown, Gershwin-like number performed by Paul Whiteman & His Orchestra, a piece that stops Thanks a Million in its tracks but holds a fascination all its own.
The DVD:
As part of the Cinema Archives made-to-order discs, Fox's DVD edition of Thanks a Million falls in line with other m.o.d. products in heavily depending on the quality of the source print used. Here, they used an average looking print with lots of dust and some vertical scratches blighting what is overall a pleasantly sharp picture with lots of detail. While the picture quality is keyed towards the dark side, the mastering is fine.
Thanks a Million's somewhat raggedy but decent mono soundtrack is the only audio option here. The music tends to break up and get shrill on the louder end, and there are a few pops and dropouts, but mostly it's a decent listen (incidentally, the film's sole Academy Award nomination was for Sound). No subtitles.
Only a simple menu for this release, with chapter stops every ten minutes in the film.
Final Thoughts:
The cheery 1935 Dick Powell vehicle Thanks a Million could easily be confused with any number of 1930s musicals in the Busby Berkeley mold. The film's fresh and sharply observant take on political spin places it above the others, however. As one of the first products of the newly formed 20th Century Fox studio and mogul Darryl F. Zanuck, the film tackles a Depression-era story with plenty of vim and verve. Snappy work from Powell and co-stars Fred Allen, Ann Dvorak and Patsy Kelly, too. Recommended.

By WGBH News
Nov. 15, 2011
BOSTON — The "We Shall Not Be Moved" exhibit by photographer Kelly Creedon documents the human impact of the foreclosure crisis in Massachusetts. The exhibit is traveling to the hardest-hit cities and its next stop is downtown Springfield, where volunteers will partner with No One Leaves/Nadie Se Mude Nov. 19–20 to transform a vacant commercial space on Worthington Street into an installation. The exhibit will be on display there through Dec. 18. (Event info.)
Creedon and her subject David Dunwell, a homeowner dealing with foreclosure, appeared on "The Callie Crossley Show" on Nov. 15.
Creedon started the project in 2008. She didn't expect it — or the crisis — to extend all the way through 2011.
"One of the things that inspired me to start telling some of these stories was this series of eviction blockades that had been happening in Boston in 2008. And I sort of felt like I was catching the tail end of this sort of series of really moving actions, and recognizing at the same time that I'm not an economist and I wasn't in a position to be predicting where we were going to go as a country at that point, obviously. But I wasn't hearing people anticipating that 3 years down the line we would still be looking at another however many years — we're at this point talking about 10 to 12 million families that we anticipate will be impacted by foreclosure, directly impacted, by the time we can find some recovery. So, I wasn't anticipating to still see our country and these communities so entrenched in this crisis, 3 years down the line."
Dunwell talked about the hardest part of being foreclosed on:
"One of the main reasons we moved out to Springfield was to be able to have our own home and be able to show our children the way of life that was better than we had. We moved to Springfield because all the houses in the Boston area were elevated out of our price range. It was really tough and humbling to be able to present to our children this dream that we had is now lost. That we have no home now. That was really, really tough, compounded by the fact that I lost my job a year and a half prior — that was heart-wrenching."
But when thinking about the future, Dunwell was more optimistic, despite the fact that Springfield had the most foreclosures in the state in 2010, he said:
"I've definitely found a home. I don't think this is the end of my dream… I am in no way dismayed. I know that I will stand — if I don't get to keep my own house, I'll stand again, and I'll show my own children that this dream is possible within Springfield, within Massachusetts, within the United States of America."

Where should Shelby Herrington play?By MARK QUIRK
New Hampshire Union Leader
December 10. 2012 10:29PM
There's no question Shelby Herrington can play the sport of hockey. It's just a matter of which team she should play for.
That is now in the hands of a Merrimack County Superior Court judge who has to decide if the junior should play for the boys' or girls' hockey team at Bishop Brady High School of Concord.
While some local coaches said she should be allowed to finish out her career with the boys, they also think that in the future, players should be required to play against their own gender if the opportunity is available.
"In the long run, it would be nice to have some of these girls around to play girls," said Hanover coach John Dodds.
Dodds has coached the Hanover girls' squad since 1987 and says the Marauders are the oldest publicly funded girls' hockey program in the country. He said he feels Herrington could benefit by being allowed to remain with the boys' team, but also said his league needs to flourish with the best talent available.
Herrington, who is considered one of the best female players in the state, is currently a member of the boys' hockey team. But that is being challenged by the NHIAA, which wants her to play for the cooperative girls' squad the school has with Trinity of Manchester. It has become an issue because this is the first year there is a varsity girls' program at the school. She has played for the varsity boys' program the past two seasons.
Stacy Boudrias is coach of the girls' team at Concord, where there are both boys' and girls' teams. She agrees with Dodds that Herrington should be allowed to play with the boys' team, but a line needs to be drawn somewhere.
"I think girls should play (against girls) at schools where there is a girls' team available," Boudrias said.
Far more schools offer boys' hockey (49) than girls' hockey (14).
There has been one other girl who played for a boys' team at a school that had a girls' program. That was Danielle DiCesare, who attended St. Thomas Aquinas of Dover and played for the Saints boys' team her senior year during the inaugural season of varsity girls' hockey in the state. St. Thomas has a cooperative team with Dover.
Peter Wotton is the athletic director at Dover and a member of the NHIAA hockey committee. He also played and coached hockey in his career and lends a unique perspective.
"As a hockey person and a past hockey coach, I don't understand the need to play for a boys' team when there is a girls' team," Wotton said.
DiCesare played for four years at Princeton University and is one of many girls who have played on boys' teams in the state. Other notables who played on boys' teams before there was a girls' league are Tara Mounsey of Concord, and Andrea Berlin and Sadie Wright-Ward, both of Oyster River of Durham.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Georgia Southwestern women's cross country team made its first-ever appearance at the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional on Saturday morning and finished in 22nd place out of 31 teams. Freshman Daria Woods led the Lady Hurricanes with a time of 25:25 on the 6k course.
Woods finished in 104th place overall out of 211 competitors. A strong back half of the race allowed her to climb 19 spots from her position at the 3k mark.
Linda Esparza crossed the finish line second for GSW with a time of 25:52, good for 116th place, while Jessi Young was the third GSW runner across the line in 26:04. Young, GSW's top runner all season long, was battling an illness on race day and her stamina suffered as she dropped 21 places over the final half of Saturday's event.
Lisa Espino crossed the finish line one second and one place behind Young with a time of 26:05. Raven Martin took 152nd place in 27:04 and Mikaela Shimko posted a time of 28:35.
With 75 points, Wingate University finished ahead of Peach Belt Conference Champions Flagler College (107), for the team title. The PBC placed four teams in the top five of the regional.
Hannah Witt from King University crossed the finish line first overall with a time of 21:46.

The first major ruling in the case of Environmental Law Foundation v. State Water Resources Control Board will be delayed, according to a recent order rescheduling an April 11 hearing.
The first major ruling in the case of Environmental Law Foundation v. State Water Resources Control Board will be delayed, according to a recent order rescheduling an April 11 hearing.
The case originated as a challenge to the management of groundwater resources connected to the Scott River and is expected to set the precedent for whether or not such resources can be regulated through the Public Trust Doctrine.
The final written arguments were submitted March 28 in the Sacramento Superior Court where oral arguments are now expected to take place May 16. According to a recent order, the hearing was delayed due to two election-related matters coming to the court's attention.
While the main question relates to the public trust question, the final briefs touch on a variety of other interrelated issues. The California Farm Bureau, submitting a brief supporting Siskiyou County's position, had argued that a ruling affirming the PTD's application to non-adjudicated, interconnected groundwater would be an unconstitutional taking of property rights.
In the petitioners' response, it is argued that the regulation of groundwater cannot initiate a takings claim due to the nature of water rights.
"Under well-settled California law, water rights holders – unlike owners of real and personal property – obtain only a right to use water, if and when they perfect a water right to do so. Thus, water resources of this state are fundamentally incapable of private 'ownership' in any traditional sense."
Despite being on different sides of the civil suit, the SWRCB and the plaintiffs have each argued that the state does have the right to regulate groundwater resources under the PTD. In its final brief, the SWRCB also argues against the Farm Bureau's takings claim.
"Since the public trust has always authorized regulation of activities that have the potential to affect public trust resources, the declaration sought by Petitioner Environmental Law Foundation (ELF) cannot result in a taking because background principles dictate that no one has a property right in unlimited use of groundwater unfettered by the public trust," the SWRCB brief states.
Siskiyou County, in its final brief, reaffirmed its arguments that the state legislature must grant the SWRCB authority to utilize the PTD in regulating groundwater use, and that adjudication of groundwater rights in the Scott River basin preclude the state board from regulating that groundwater.
While the hearing was delayed to May 16 at 10:30 a.m., attorneys close to the case suggest that the decision could be delayed again, and in previous interviews, counsel for all sides gave assurances that the judge's decision will likely be appealed right away.

The letter must include clearly stated and documented examples of extenuating circumstances that prevented satisfactory progress. Examples of acceptable documentation include medical or legal statements and/or documents that verify the student's appeal request.
A letter stating the decision of the committee will be mailed to the student and a copy will be placed in the student's file.
If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the admissions committee, one final academic appeal may be initiated by submitting a letter of appeal to the Vice President of Student Affairs within 10 business days after the receipt of the written admissions committee decision. The decision of the Vice President of Student Affairs will be final.

When money affects friendship
My friend J. and I are in a spiffy bar overlooking San Francisco Bay, having our regular drinks-and-dinner date. At the table to our right, two Silicon Valley types wrangle a high-tech deal; to our left, a first-date flirtation heats up. J. and I eavesdrop, enjoying the floor show while sharing wine, food, encouragement and laughter. The check comes, and we drop our respective credit cards on the table. Our usual waitress knows to split the bill, but this time, I pick up the check first and scrutinize it as if I were an IRS auditor. I frown and, before I can stop myself, say, "You should pay more. You had one more glass of wine than I did."
We stare at each other, mortified. Neither of us can believe what has just come out of my mouth. But since our last dinner, I've lost my job at a major university and, with it, the six-figure package of salary and benefits I'd let myself believe would be mine until I quit or retired. Now, thanks to a bureaucratic reshuffling, my life has suddenly gone from an orgy of accumulation—new and better hair products, a fancier car, more exotic vacations—to the freelancer's game of scrimping and saving and making do. I've put some rainy-day money aside, but not enough to keep up my formerly free-spending lifestyle. I'm back to living on a budget that doesn't include the kind of "who's counting?" casualness that once made my evenings out so much fun.
"I'll leave the tip," J. says stiffly. I let her, and we hug good-bye with a new awkwardness. What a stingy friend you are, I tell myself as I get into my car. I drive home wondering if my tightened purse strings will damage my bond with J., not to mention my other friendships.
I don't enjoy playing the role of poor relation. Before the job-that-got-away lifted me to fleeting financial plenitude, I lost one of my closest friends to what I call bankbook-disparity syndrome—but not for the reasons you might think. G. never looked down on me nor gave me reason to feel inferior because of my precarious financial state. No, my friendship with G. ended because her relative wealth turned me into an envious, needy, judgmental, raving—I think you know where I'm going with this—bitch.
Once upon a time, G. and I were financial equals, until she married a rich guy and bought a fairy tale house on a hill. My friend burbled about the fun we'd have at Newly Married Manor, toasting gourmet marshmallows in one of the five fireplaces, hot-tubbing life's little stresses away beneath the canopy of redwoods in her backyard. I tried to appreciate her largesse, to focus on how lucky I was to have her as a friend. But each time I drove up the winding streets to G.'s new house— "up" as in looking up, moving on up and beating myself up—I found myself (a) wishing she'd buy me stuff, (b) hating myself for wishing she'd buy me stuff and (c) wondering where in life I'd gone wrong. I'd forget about my own happy relationship, the books I'd published, the rewards of my financially insecure but creatively satisfying profession. Surely, I thought, if I were as worthy as G., I'd have earned more, married more profitably, befriended a few hedge fund managers or cracked the lottery code.
Not surprisingly, blaming myself for these things started to feel unbearable. So I did the only sensible thing I could: I started blaming her. I convinced myself that wealth had changed her; that she'd married for money and become a snob. If she picked up the tab for dinner, I felt like a loser who couldn't pay my own way. When she didn't, I resented her selfishness.
When she confided in me about tensions in her marriage, I felt compassion but also a bit of superiority welling up in my chest. Maybe she had money, but at least I had love and a rock-solid relationship. Then, when she told me about the remedies she had in mind—$200 sessions with the best couples therapist in town, a week at a $500-a-night resort—all my warm, fuzzy feelings went up in a wisp of green smoke. I'd start to tell G. about my new book deal, then change the subject. Why would she care, when the money I'd be living on for the next two years equaled her vacation budget?
Soon, our cozy fireside confessionals chilled to frozen silences. With the ancient redwoods outside her window as silent witnesses, our friendship withered and died. I missed G. but told myself it was simply too hard for people who weren't in the same economic class to be close; we moved in different circles, shopped in different stores and cared about different things. From now on, I vowed, I'd avoid heartache and stick to my own kind.
Then my extreme financial makeover happened, literally overnight, when I got tapped for the university job a few years later. One day I was a hardworking, underpaid, underinsured freelancer. The next, I was a vacation-paid, retirement-benefit-accruing staff writer, earning as much in a few months as I'd formerly scraped together in a year. My checking account went from empty to full; my shoes, from Payless to pay more. Still, well after my frugality had outlived its usefulness, I waved it around like a vestigial limb, claiming a craving for Chinese when friends invited me to pricey new restaurants. I clung to my identity as the economic underdog, running hungry, efficient and lean.
Until the day I looked in the mirror, saw a $5 coffee drink in my hand and realized it was time to face facts: I'd changed sides, an insight that first stunned, then thrilled me. Soon I was buying gifts, meals, drinks and plane tickets for my less-affluent friends. My chubby checkbook gave me confidence; with it, I could solve any problem—a dropped laptop, a ding in my new car. Now that I wasn't worried about keeping up, I broke the vow I'd made when G. and I ended things. I made friends with people who had more money than I did.
Among them was S., whom I met at a conference. One night, we had dinner at an upscale Indian restaurant and ordered extravagantly. Afterward, the table was littered with our leftovers: biryani and kebabs on gold-edged plates. S. lifted the dripping wine bottle from its silver bucket and filled our goblets. Her glass gleamed in the candlelight as she toasted to our friendship and mutual success. We touched glasses, basking in our shared sense of accomplishment. S. had recently sold her first big book. I was nearly two years into my sweet gig. We both knew how fortunate we were.
The check came, and S. and I engaged in an affectionate tug-of-war. "Let me." "No, let me." I don't remember who paid, but I do remember thinking how gracious S. was as we hailed a cab, both aglow with wine and camaraderie. "What a generous friend you are," S. told me, when I waved off her $20 and insisted on paying the fare. Clearly, S. found me charming. Of course she did: I was expansive and relaxed. Everywhere I went—and I went lots of places now—my healthy bank balance backed me up. Finally, I was successful on the scale that mattered, flying here and there on my expense account, making home improvements, picking up checks.
Until the dream job evaporated and I found myself caught up in a lifestyle I could no longer afford. It was time to stop thinking about what I could buy (real estate? Manolos?) and start thinking about what I didn't need (premium cable, 600-thread-count sheets). But it wasn't until I cheaped out on J. at dinner that I realized what I truly couldn't do without: my friends. To keep them, I'd have to stop measuring myself by standards I wasn't sure I'd ever valued in the first place.
After that unhappy night with J., another new (and wealthy) friend called to invite me to dinner with friends. T. named the restaurant, a place where even an expert skinflint like me couldn't eat for less than $50. I imagined scanning the menu for the cheapest entr?e, while the others ate and drank with abandon. I wasn't sure I could sit through a dinner I couldn't afford without sinking into an envious state.
T. knew I'd lost my job but didn't say if she was treating, so I had to assume I'd be covering my own tab. I felt a flash of resentment, remembering the meals I'd bought for less flush friends during my brief affluence. Why, I wondered, wouldn't T. do the same for me? Then I reminded myself that I didn't want our friendship to end the way things had with G., and I took myself down a different path. "I'd love to come," I told her.
When the server took orders, I asked for an appetizer, a glass of wine—and a separate check. No one seemed offended. The others offered tastes of their osso buco and salmon; I offered tastes of my baked Brie. I laughed and gossiped, then went home satisfied. I hadn't let my longing for what my friends had keep me from good company—which I know I value more than money. I'd learned, beyond a shadow of a doubt, what makes my life rich. Which is why I'll never be poor again.

Record, 3-6.
Week 11: Unlike the Eagles, firing my defensive prognosticator has worked. I predicted a Birds loss the last two weeks and was correct. Logic would suggest I should keep picking against them until they show they can win, but I'm a glutton and see some hope in Washington.
For a team that has lost five straight, the Eagles appeared very loose this week. Maybe its denial, maybe they've completely given up or maybe the players decided they have nothing to lose. As Andy Reid told his troops earlier in the week: "Just go play. Go play, one play at a time. Go play. Enjoy the game. That's what this is all about. You're in the National Football League. You play for the Philadelphia Eagles. Go enjoy the game."
Of course, they may just stink it up again. But the Eagles are likely to win a few more and it might as well be against those wretched Redskins. As dynamic as Robert Griffin III has been this season, coach Mike Shanahan hasn't found a way to convert a multifaceted offense that utilizes the quarterback's unique skill-set into a consistent winning formula.
Griffin, along with rookie running back Alfred Morris, will give the Eagles defense something to think about. But Washington's offense which relies more on misdirection than power could play into the Eagles' strengths. No one would ever call the Eagles defense a smash mouth unit, but it does have speed and it does have players that can make plays in space (assuming, naturally, that they tackle, which is a rather significant assumption).
So I don't see the Redskins, who have the No. 2-ranked rushing offense in the league, running roughshod over the Eagles.
As for on the other side of the ball, Nick Foles makes his starting debut. An Eagles nation turns its lonely eyes to the rookie quarterback. That's a lot of pressure to bear. Reid and Marty Mornhinweg will carry over last week's game plan in which both Foles and Michael Vick weren't asked to stand in the pocket for too long behind a deficient offense line.
They will take chances downfield. They would be crazy not to against a defense that has had ever less success getting to the quarterback than the Eagles. But the Birds were leading the Cowboys, 17-10, late in the third quarter behind an offense that ran a lot of screens and quick, timing-based throws.
LeSean McCoy will get his touches, as well. The aftereffects of last week's flu are gone and Reid/Mornhinweg won't have any excuses for not feeding their running back in the early going. With Vick sidelined, the end of Reid's tenure a near certainty and the playoffs a pipe dream the Eagles will finally deliver a crisp performance and win by two touchdowns -- yes, two touchdowns. And that will mean another week of Foles under center.
Prediction: Eagles 27, Redskins13.
What goes right: Todd Bowles shows his defense acumen and bottles up Griffin for most of the game.
What goes wrong: The Eagles' special teams have another breakdown.
Record, 5-4.
Week 11: There is practically no reason for optimism in the Eagles' fortunes anymore, because every week they seem to display an aversion to winning. But the team on the other side this weekend is also reeling, and does not have the talent -- particularly on defense -- that the Cowboys possessed last week.
The wild card in this game is how Foles plays. Considering the Eagles' scoring and turnover problems, a rookie quarterback's shortcomings will not exactly negate offensive momentum. In fact, I think the presence of Foles will alter how the Eagles play and actually create a template that is more conducive to winning with this offensive line and roster.
Look for Foles to throw high-percentage passes. It would be imprudent not to take shots down field, especially because the Redskins' secondary is susceptible and their pass defense ranks No. 30 in the NFL. But this game will be won by McCoy running the ball and catching screen passes, and short completions by Foles to his pass-catchers with hope that they can generate yards after the catch. By doing this and keeping the Redskins on notice, the Eagles could potentially find big plays over the top -- and Foles has the arm to make those throws.
Also, the offense could benefit from the absence of Jason Avant. This is not to diminish Avant as a player, because he's a capable slot receiver. But Avant is purely a slot receiver, and the Eagles can now mix and match the other receivers to try to create mismatches. This is what teams have often done against the Eagles this season to considerable success.
There should be legitimate concern about the Eagles' defense against Griffin, which is the best reason to pick against the Eagles. Washington's misdirection and play-action will prove to a be a challenge, and the Eagles must be careful that the wide-nine does not create lanes for Griffin to exploit. A key player to watch for Washington will be tight end Logan Paulsen, who has capably filled in for the injured Fred Davis. He's a safety valve for Griffin and could especially help on third down. The Redskins' zone-rushing scheme will also cause the Eagles fits.
Still, I think this is a game the Eagles will win. A more conservative offensive approach will be beneficial for a team ill-suited to win shootouts, and the Redskins' recent struggles scoring shows that the Eagles are not the only team in this game in disarray.
Look for another close game before the Eagles to snap their five-game losing streak. It won't alter the outcome of the season, but it will at least change the story for a week.
Prediction: Eagles 21, Redskins 17.
What goes right: McCoy exceeds 100 rushing yards, Foles completes 65 percent of his passes and the Eagles cornerbacks play better against comparatively inferior wide receivers.
What goes wrong: Griffin wows the Eagles with a handful of dazzling plays and the Eagles still struggle to force turnovers.

A CHRISTMAS BRIDE/CHRISTMAS BEAU by Mary Balogh, Excerpt
About the book:
In a pair of classic Regency-era Christmas romance novels from New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh, the holidays herald the greatest gift of all: unexpected, all-consuming love.
A Christmas Bride
The very wealthy Edgar Downes has promised his aging father to finally take a bride—specifically, to wed a titled lady by Christmas. London is full of pretty, proper, and eligible misses, but it's the widow Helena, Lady Stapleton, in a shocking red dress, who captures Edgar's attention. Helena is intrigued by the seductive stranger—but he's simply not in her class. Marriage, of course, would never do. But in a season of miracles, something wondrous is about to happen.
Christmas Beau
Not even the warm, forgiving Christmas spirit can stop the Marquess of Denbigh from settling his score with Judith Easton: The beautiful young widow injured Denbigh's pride years ago by jilting him for another man. Now that Judith is free from a nightmare marriage, the handsome marquess has her in his sights—and wants her in his arms. But to trust the tender words on his lips, Judith must not only see past the hardness of his heart, but learn once again to trust her own heart's desire.

Ladies, please help me figure this out! I'm out of my mind with fear over this now. My son almost choked to death tonight on a piece of apple -- a piece he bit off. I did the baby heimlich, had him upside down, was screaming for someone to call 911 when we finally got it up. His lips were white, and he was spitting blood and his nose was bleeding a little. I can hardly type this, but I need to understand it. A short while longer, and it would have been too late.
When it happened, he was sitting in his high chair beside me at dinner. The apple he was eating was sliced into "chip-sized" pieces, like french fries, as the BLS pandits suggest.
I would consider it the kind of random thing that can happen to anyone, but the same thing happened yesterday! Yesterday I got it on the first baby heimlich round, so I didn't even have time to get freaked out before it was taken care of, but it was no less serious choking. Yesterday it was a piece of dried apple.
Has anyone else heard of a choking-risk developmental phase or condition to watch out for? Why would it be happening now? Felix will be one on Saturday, and though he was premature, he is pretty caught up developmentally -- he took his first run of unassisted steps today, so right on the milestone mean. His pincer grasp is excellent. We transitioned to BLS/W about 6 weeks ago and it has been going great. But should I stop? He loves apple and even has a sound-word for it, but I dont know when I'll be able to let him eat them again. Could he not be ready? Could it be teething (in which we are deeply submerged this week)?
Any speculations or stories, or just reassurance, will be greatly appreciated.

IT Management Slideshow: From Darwin to Jay-Z: Eight Leadership Insights to Inspire Any CIO
Not everyone seeks inspiration in a diverse group of thinkers that includes Charles Darwin, Sun Tzu, Jeff Bezos and Jay-Z. But author/business leader Ryan Blair's path to success has hardly taken a conventional route. In his book "Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain", Blair reveals how he went from living an idyllic life in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in Southern California to joining a gang and then shuffling in and out of juvenile detention centers. Through a life-changing mentorship, he focused his energies on entrepreneurship, going on to create and sell three companies for hundreds of millions of dollars (the first of which he started at age 21). In "Nothing to Lose," Blair shares thoughtful, motivational quotes from famous people both current and historical—reflections that can benefit CIOs and other leaders. Here eight highlights—including one from Blair— plus takeaways on how these translate to your life as CIO:

I'm new at, I've only be using linux seriously for about a month. I was configuring sudoers
configuration file last night and was wondering if I didn't make any novice syntax errors,
misconfiguration mistakes, and security problems ......
I read the man and somewhat figure it out,
but just checking. I did also configure syslog

It has been fun to sit back and watch the liberal obsession with identity and gender politics intrude on the selection of the next chair of the Federal Reserve. The two leading candidates are Janet Yellen, currently at the San Francisco Fed, and Lawrence Summers, the liberal renaissance man who has been Treasury Secretary, president of Harvard, and lots of other things. Conservatives do not really have a dog in this fight and are close to indifferent: both Yellen and Summers are respected, with a slight edge perhaps going to Summers, as Yellen is seen as a monetary "dove" who is more likely than Summers to lead us into a return of ruinous inflation.
Naturally there is a vocal faction among liberals demanding that Obama must choose Yellen because she's a woman. It also helps that Summers has a reputation for being something of a jerk. (I heard he was delighted by the portrayal of him as brusque and direct in The Social Network. And anyone who can send Cornel West packing from Harvard can't be all bad.) Women have complained (with good reason apparently) that Obama's economic team is an "old boys club" where women are marginalized—even very accomplished women like Christina Romer. (What was that again about a "War on Women"? Never mind.) And of course Summers was drummed out of Harvard for speaking candidly about possible differences in the number of men and women with high level ability in math.
So I wonder if it helps Summers's chances that he's received a ringing endorsement from Cass Sunstein?
The mission of the Federal Reserve Board is to help to increase employment, to promote economic growth and stable prices, and to protect consumers. For its next chairman, Obama has some extraordinary candidates, but no one knows more about how to carry out that mission than Larry Summers.
This might be enough to get Glenn Beck to back Yellen. The environmental left has long disliked Summers from a single comment he made more than 20 years ago. The infamous "Summers memo" written while he was chief economist at the World Bank even has its own Wikipedia entry. Here's the beginning of the offending passage:
'Dirty' Industries: Just between you and me, shouldn't the World Bank be encouraging MORE migration of the dirty industries to the LDCs [Least Developed Countries]? I can think of three reasons. . .
Worse, in 2008 Summers attached the following comment to a report on climate change policy:
[T]he costs of addressing climate change are highly uncertain, but I remain concerned that many policymakers do not sufficiently appreciate how large these uncertainties are or the consequences of paying them insufficient attention. Environmental certainty enjoys much attention while uncertainty over the cost of cutting emissions receives too little. This balance is wrong, particularly in the short term, since emissions in any given year matter little, while high costs, even for a short period, can cause substantial economic harm, particularly to the most vulnerable.
The left also dislikes Cass Sunstein, because he's said nice things about cost-benefit analysis, and, believe it or not, actually put the brakes on some proposed regulations from the regulation-happy Obama Administration in his first-term post as head of the Office of Independent Regulatory Analysis (OIRA) in the OMB. So does Sunstein's support really help Summers? Some lefties are already saying that Sunstein's column is one more reason to support Yellen.
I expect one more strike will kill off Summers chances. If someone finds out he's said nice things about the Keystone XL pipeline, it will all be over.
Here's the Daily Kos's subtle cheat sheet for lefties:

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The University of Maryland's decision to stay in the Atlantic Coast Conference or join the Big Ten comes down to tradition versus money.
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — The University of Maryland's decision to stay in the Atlantic Coast Conference or join the Big Ten comes down to tradition versus money.
Given the plight of the school's struggling athletic program, the Terrapins' stature as a charter member of the ACC may not mean as much as the prospect of playing a home football game against, say, Ohio State, and being part of a league that generates more revenue.
The board of regents is scheduled to meet Monday to discuss the joining the Big Ten. If Maryland approves the move and applies for admission, Rutgers is expected to follow suit and leave the Big East. That would leave the Big Ten with 14 schools. An announcement on Maryland's final decision is expected this week, maybe as soon as Monday.
The addition of Maryland and Rutgers, located in New Brunswick, N.J., about 40 miles south of New York city, would give the Big Ten an added presence in the East — along with Penn State — and add two huge television markets. Which explains in part why the Big Ten is courting Maryland and offering a fee to join, enough to at least partially offset the $50 million exit fee the ACC approved by vote in September after adding Notre Dame.
By leaving the ACC, Maryland would be breaking ties and rivalries with many schools it has competed against since 1953. There are few bigger college basketball games than Maryland vs. Duke, and Terrapins fans for decades have made up a decent portion of the crowd at the ACC basketball tournament.
Unfortunately, tradition doesn't fill the football stadium on Saturdays. Maryland can't sell out the luxury boxes at the newly renovated Tyser Tower inside Byrd Stadium, and only 35,244 fans showed up Saturday on senior day for a game against 10th-ranked Florida State.
Maryland lost to the Seminoles 41-14, its fifth straight defeat. The Terrapins (4-7) close out their second season under coach Randy Edsall at North Carolina next week, and he insisted Sunday that his attention was centered solely upon the present rather than the future of the program.
Asked his opinion of the potential move to the Big Ten, Edsall responded, "My whole focus is trying to clear things up from Florida State and getting ready for North Carolina. ... I'm just concentrating on North Carolina."
Rutgers coach Kyle Flood had a similar response when asked about the reports during a Sunday teleconference with reporters. "The best thing for me do to is not react to it," he said.
Maryland's six home games this season averaged 36,022 fans in a stadium that seats 54,000. Home matchups against Ohio State, Michigan and Nebraska would surely be sellouts. It's possible that the school would consider expanding the on-campus stadium if it joins the Big Ten.

January/February 2005
Intensive media coverage failed to ignite mass hysteria; gut reactions seemed to run a short gamut from "So what else is new?" to "This just proves what I've been saying all along!" But the fact that everyone was talking suggested that this "superbug," whatever its merits as a clinical phenomenon, clearly represented a potent meme, or unit of cultural information. Memes are to culture what genes are to biology.
The superbug meme adapted itself to a remarkably broad range of hosts -- it evolved into strains tailored to support virtually everyone's agendas. We saw public health officials fretting and prominent researchers bickering over the significance of the case; while press releases from the HIV/AIDS community provided healthy doses of skepticism and context embedded in well-rehearsed calls for more funding and better prevention policy; while conservative commentators drafted Patient X into their war on hedonism and moral decay.
But the novelty of the superbug meme quickly dissolved into a mix of now-familiar cultural struggles around promiscuous gay sex and illicit drugs. The superbug may not be spreading, but it briefly illuminated a landscape of out-of-bounds bodies and the pleasures they seek.
But the last several years also generated a steady diet of new incarnations of the sexual outlaw at regular one-to-two year intervals: barebacking, "bug-chasers" and "gift-givers," surging syphilis rates and internet-enabled anonymous sex, men "on the down-low," and crystal meth-fueled sex fiends, to name a few.
The current focus on crystal meth brings a new twist, linking sexual deviance to a long-standing tradition of moral panic around drugs. From a harm reduction perspective, the recent anti-crystal campaigns are a familiar remix of reefer madness and just-say-no-style demonizations of a drug and, by extension, the people who use it. The relentless coupling of crystal meth and HIV in some "educational" materials would lead one to think that on crystal, unsafe sex and resultant HIV infection is all but inevitable. I've taken to joking that I want to start a counter-advocacy group of people who've used crystal and never got HIV. Not a pro-crystal group, per se, but a pro-reality group, to break through misleading and ultimately counterproductive rhetoric.
At the height of the AIDS epidemic in the US, some people were committed to telling the truth about sexuality to power -- and each other. I still remember the sense of liberation in the early '90s from reading certain 'zines -- Scott O'Hara's sexy yet matter-of-fact "How I Got AIDS: Memoirs of a Working Boy," serialized in Diseased Pariah News, or Pat Califia's essay in Frighten the Horses about the struggles and contradictions of safer sex, and how and why we slip. These sex radicals pushed buttons and boundaries, all while maintaining a politically engaged commitment to exploring and documenting the messy, murky, contradictory truths of desire. Radical AIDS activism and queer cultural politics blended and fed each other in new fusions and recombinations resembling nothing so much as sex itself.
We need that energy now -- the response of the HIV community to the superbug Sargasso betrayed a bankruptcy of new ideas, new strategies, new narratives. Nobody even attempted to defend Patient X, much less understand or identify with him. Advocates used the case to advocate for more prevention dollars, without any explanation of how current programs could have prevented this infection if adequately resourced and freed from political constraints. HIV prevention is in a silent state of crisis -- we're not doing any better now, and we've ceded our power and knowledge to the CDC, just as communities -- or, more accurately, social networks and subcultures -- have conceded the responsibility for prevention to AIDS service organizations.
Perhaps we could start by breaking down the boundaries between people who work on preventing sexual transmission and people who work on preventing transmission in injection drug users (IDUs). It's increasingly clear that alcohol and drugs play a role in a lot of HIV infections through sex, and that a lot of IDUs actually get HIV from sex rather than needles. Both camps have different conversations, different agendas, and different struggles. But maybe that provides fertile ground for the kinds of fusions and recombinations that could reignite HIV prevention as a movement, not just an institution.

Backed by boisterous, Polish flag-waving fans Friday at U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago resident Andrzej Fonfara scored an epic victory.
Fonfara, a native of Poland, battled former world champion Gabriel Campillo of Spain in a 12-round IBF world title eliminator. Campillo dominated early with smooth movement and combination punching. The tide shifted in the ninth round, however, when Fonfara demolished Campillo with a barrage of punches. Campillo collapsed to the canvas and didn't get up.
The win makes Fonfara the No. 1-ranked contender for Bernard Hopkins' IBF light heavyweight world title. Fonfara will likely have to win one more bout before being named mandatory challenger, however.
"I'm happy about the No. 1 ranking. I'm a warrior; I fight until the end of the fight" Fonfara told ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" broadcaster Bernardo Osuna moments after the bout.
Fonfara said he was frustrated by Campillo.
"Campillo is very tough and he's very sneaky," Fonfara said. "Our tactic was pressure, pressure, pressure. It's easy to say but it's more difficult when you get in the ring."
Even though it wasn't a perfect performance, the 25-year-old plans to grow from this bout.
"I know my mistakes," he said. "I need to work more on my defense. I'm very critical of myself."
That said Fonfara, is still hopeful he will become another Chicago-based champion from Poland.
"I did my best. I beat Campillo; I knocked him out," he said. "This was my determination and this is what I want to be a world champion."
In other action Friday, Oak Lawn native Mike Mollo lost his rematch against Artur Szpilka, and Adrian Granados of Cicero knocked out Mark Salser.
"I tried my best," Mollo said. "He was the better man tonight."

Hope you're having a good holiday break, mhaberling. I asked you on another thread in this subforum if you would list what you found to be "unanswered questions" (apologies for paraphrasing) about evolution. Are you interested in continuing this discussion? And if you really miss SHIN, you can probably find him at the Atheist Think Tank http://www.atheistthinktank.net/thinktank/index.php or Is God Imaginary? http://isgodimaginary.com/forum/index.php forums. I find him a relatively upbeat troll, but a troll; not interested in discussion / debate.
I'm going to be honest, I really don't want to discuss evolution at this time... My problems with evolution are pretty minor, I actually believe in the theory for the most part, and last time I tried to bring it up I felt like I was shoved into a creationist vs. evolutionist argument that I never really wanted.
... I felt like I was shoved into a creationist vs. evolutionist argument that I never really wanted.
the rabbit hole just got larger for shin.
Enough with your bullshit.
. . . Mr. Friday . . . that post really is golden.
The word theory, in the context of science, does not imply uncertainty. It means "a coherent group of general propositions used as principles of explanation for a class of phenomena" (Barnhart 1948). In the case of the theory of evolution, the following are some of the phenomena involved. All are facts: Life appeared on earth more than two billion years ago; Life forms have changed and diversified over life's history; Species are related via common descent from one or a few common ancestors; Natural selection is a significant factor affecting how species change. Many other facts are explained by the theory of evolution as well. The theory of evolution has proved itself in practice. It has useful applications in epidemiology, pest control, drug discovery, and other areas (Bull and Wichman 2001; Eisen and Wu 2002; Searls 2003). Besides the theory, there is the fact of evolution, the observation that life has changed greatly over time. The fact of evolution was recognized even before Darwin's theory. The theory of evolution explains the fact. If "only a theory" were a real objection, creationists would also be issuing disclaimers complaining about the theory of gravity, atomic theory, the germ theory of disease, and the theory of limits (on which calculus is based). The theory of evolution is no less valid than any of these. Even the theory of gravity still receives serious challenges (Milgrom 2002). Yet the phenomenon of gravity, like evolution, is still a fact. Creationism is neither theory nor fact; it is, at best, only an opinion. Since it explains nothing, it is scientifically useless.
Is this generally agreed?
It has irked me for a while now that the fundamentalists stand up and says "Well, evolution is only a theory", wearing belts made of cowhide, cows being an animal that did not exist as they are until we selectively bred them.
They bang on about "transitional fossils", which suggests to me they don't actually understand the process of mutation and preferential selection at all.
Is evolution, in the wider scientific community (Don't care about the creationist point of view here), regarded as theory or fact?
3º Why women?
5º Why is there right from wrong/good from evil?6º Why emotions & consciousness/why didn't we remain like the animals(unable to choose right from wrong)?7º Why ability to reproduce?>snip<21º How do you explain the Fibonacci sequence/the number "e" & the number Pi?

Robert Pattinson's alter ego battle
Robert Pattinson admits his 'Twilight' character would not approve of his 'Bel Ami' alter-ego.
The Hollywood heartthrob is famed for playing Edward Cullen in the vampire franchise and he admits his character in his latest film, Georges Duroy, couldn't be more different from one-woman man Edward.
He said: ''I guess there's something quite fun about 'Bel Ami', going from Edward to playing some guy who pretty much abuses women to get money out of them. Edward so wouldn't approve - and I thought that was a funny irony. But the story, independently, is great, so I only thought about the irony afterwards.''
Robert also says George has no redeeming features about him as he doesn't care who he hurts.
He said: ''He just doesn't have a conscience. He's content to do nothing and thinks everything should just be given to him. But if someone slights him, or directs any insult at him, the most overwhelming energy grabs him and he turns into the absolute devil.
''It's like in 'Giant', when James Dean builds the entire empire to say, 'F**k you.' He's exactly like that but without any redeeming characteristics. The whole story is these people trying to beat him down into remorse, and just as he's about to touch it, something good happens to him again.''


text: Breadcrumb Home Scott Suttell Blog March 20, 2013 02:30 AM In this deal, at least, Dan Gilbert is a bit of a high roller Scott Suttell Tweet Share Share Share Email More Print A quick-hit edition: The Wall Street Journal analyzes Quicken Loans founder/Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert's negotiations to take control of Detroit's Greektown Casino-Hotel — a potential deal that stands out because Mr. Gilbert, who likes bargains in Detroit real estate, seems to be willing to pay a price "that isn't deeply discounted." An affiliate of Mr. Gilbert's Rock Gaming "already owns some shares and has agreements that would give it a 77% stake in Greektown Casino's voting shares for about $147 million," the newspaper reports. Meanwhile, Greektown Superholdings Inc., which owns the casino, on Tuesday announced terms "that could pave the way for Rock Gaming to buy shares from the remaining shareholders." The Journal says the existing agreements "peg the casino's total value at roughly $600 million, including about $200 million in cash and $400 million in assumed debt, according to people familiar with the matter." The property "fits into Mr. Gilbert's passion for revitalizing downtown Detroit as well as his Rock Gaming's focus on developing downtown urban casinos like it has done in Cincinnati and Cleveland," according to the story. Mr. Gilbert tells The Journal that the fuller casino pricing makes sense because it is an operating business rather than an empty building that needs to be filled up and repositioned. "Sure, you want real estate that is a good value," he says. "But that doesn't drive us. We're driven by our mission to rebuild this city." The patient navigation program at the MetroHealth System is the subject of a case study by Harvard Business Review. The post notes that MetroHealth started the program "to help patients, especially underinsured ones, through the barriers that often impede their ability to obtain care." These barriers "are not just financial; they can also be logistical, emotional and even cultural," according to Harvard Business Review. The gist of the program is that navigators help handle patients' needs and their understanding of the health care process, ensuring that patients are getting the care they need. This is important, since, for example, "every no-show or cancellation in the cancer specialty area costs money — for MetroHealth, it is nearly $1,500 per appointment." (Check out this Nov. 12, 2012 story, by health care reporter Timothy Magaw, about the heavy cost of missed appointments for health care systems.) Harvard Business Review notes that a six-month Accenture-MetroHealth study found the program is providing a positive return on investment in a number of ways: patient navigation support helped reduce no-show and cancellation rates by 3% compared to a control group of patients; the revenue generated by the program paid for the salaries of two full-time patient navigators in just over three and a half months; each full-time navigator added $150,000 in additional hospital revenue per year. Some work at NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland is highlighted in this Information Week story looking at "10 space technologies that help on earth." The story notes that the GATR Communication System — a product of NASA Glenn and the former SRS Technologies, now ManTech International Technologies — is a portable, inflatable antenna that enables high-bandwidth satellite communications in remote parts of the world. (GATR stands for "ground antenna transmit receive.") In 2004, Information Week says, a spinoff called GATR Technologies was formed to license and commercialize the system. It's now used by military, intelligence, homeland security and nongovernment organizations to transmit and receive data, voice and video, the magazine says. The technology also has helped with relief efforts following hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires and other disasters. Americans remain in a generally grumpy mood, given the economic turmoil of the past five years, and Ohioans are among the most unhappy. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the scores of each state in the six categories that comprise the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index to identify objective measures that affect happiness. (Some of the factors include health, life expectancy, income and education level.) Crunching the numbers, the website declares Ohio as the seventh most-unhappy state. "Ohio ranked seventh worst in the Gallup report when it came to its residents' healthy behaviors. Nearly 28% of the population smoked, the third-highest percentage of all states," according to the story. In addition, Ohio was one of just four states "where less than half the respondents indicated that they exercised a minimum of 30 minutes a day in three of the previous seven days. Perhaps due to unhealthy behaviors, Ohio ranked eighth from the bottom in terms of physical health. Almost 30% of the population was considered obese based on their body mass index, the eighth-largest percentage of all states." The least happy state in the nation? West Virginia.

The public debate on church teaching about condoms triggered by Pope Benedict XVI's comments in a new book provides an ideal opportunity for parish priests to clarify that teaching for the faithful from the pulpit, said the president of Caritas Internationalis. Cardinal Oscar Rodríguez Maradiaga of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, said that many Catholics do not know what the church teaches in this regard. "This could be a good opportunity for us in the parishes to clarify and to teach." Cardinal Rodríguez dismissed claims that the pope had changed the church's teaching on the use of condoms. "It has been the doctrine of the church all the time that when there are emergency cases the principle of double effect" applies. The book, Light of the World: The Pope, the Church and the Signs of the Times, is based on interviews Pope Benedict granted the German journalist Peter Seewald. In the book, the pope said that the use of condoms—for instance, to prevent the spread of H.I.V.—"can be a first step in the direction of a moralization, a first assumption of responsibility."

Boulder, CO, USA - Preventing release of toxic materials from abandoned mines on public lands is both a huge problem and a daunting task. Just where does one go for information on how to dispose of contaminants when the only way to access a mine is by helicopter"
Understanding and Responding to Hazardous Substances at Mine Sites in the Western United States, published by the Geological Society of America, documents approaches, techniques, and scientific considerations in cleaning up contamination at historic mines on public lands.
According to editor Jerry DeGraff, U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Clovis, California, "Relatively few understand the scope of this problem on public lands and the complexity involved in addressing it. With continued population growth in the West and more people living adjacent to public lands, concern about contamination from abandoned mines has taken on a greater sense of urgency."
The volume begins with an overview of the abandoned mine problem and site conditions that influence remediation strategies. Subsequent chapters address site characterization, specific contaminant issues, impacts of hazardous substance releases, and successful containment responses.
Papers reflect the many challenges associated with remediation on public lands, including difficult physical access to sites and treatments appropriate to remote locations where frequent monitoring and maintenance are not possible. According to DeGraff, the diversity of authors contributing papers also illustrates the variety of government agencies, both federal and state, and private firms working on the issue. The volume is an outgrowth of a symposium organized by DeGraff for the annual meeting of the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists held in 2002.

This piece was first published on The Arty Semite blog at The Forward.
At a time when Iran is in the American consciousness thanks to both Washington and Hollywood, a major exhibition about the Jews of Iran has opened in Los Angeles. "Light and Shadows: The Story of Iranian Jews," which originated at Beit Hatfutsot: The Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv, is at the Fowler Museum at UCLA until March 10, 2013.
The show, the first ever in the United States on Iranian Jews, traces the 3,000 year-long history of Iranian Jewry with more than 100 objects ranging from archeological artifacts to intricately made Judaica to illuminated manuscripts to contemporary photographs and art installations. According to Smadar Keren, Beit Hatfutsot's curatorial department director, it took two years to collect the various objects and mount the exhibition, which ran in Israel for most of 2011 and was a huge success.
Moti Schwartz, Beit Hatfutsot's director noted that "Light and Shadows" represented a major turning point for his museum, which does not have its own artifact collection, save for a few items. Based on the positive response to the exhibition, the museum is now set to open one on the Jews of Bukhara, with exhibits on other Jewish communities in the works, as well.
