The top religion and ethics stories of 2011
This has been a year of big stories globally, nationally and locally with many shaped or coloured by religious and ethical dimensions.
From the revolutions sweeping through the Middle East to the traumatic implications of phone-hacking revelations for British journalism.
Uprisings dominated the year. The domino-effect of revolution has so far touched Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain, Syria, Yemen, and many other countries in the Middle East.
Colonel Gaddafi lost his life after a civil war in Libya, and in Egypt, President Mubarak lost his job.
We had our own, decidedly more muted protests in some parts of Britain and Ireland.
Unwittingly, Saint Paul's Cathedral became an architectural metaphor for a national debate when cathedral authorities tried to remove the anti-capitalist tent city that is still encamped on its doorstep.
That was too much for one of their senior clerics.
"The church should not put its name to any course of action that may lead to violence against the protesters. I can't in conscience go down the road on which they are embarked," said Canon Dr Giles Fraser.
With those words, he said goodbye to his job at St Paul's Cathedral and plunged one of Britain's leading public institutions into even greater chaos.
Ethics of assassination
The killing of Osama bin Laden triggered an international debate about the ethics of assassination (if, that is, he was assassinated).
Former Irish president Mary Robinson became a leading voice in expressing "moral unease" about the killing. He should have been arrested and brought to justice, she said.
It was also a year of commemorations and celebrations marking the 400th anniversary of the Authorised Version of the Bible.
Even the arch-atheists Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens penned celebratory essays.
Prime Minister David Cameron capped off a year of celebrations with a lecture reminding Britons that they live in a Christian country and should celebrate that too.
Mid-year, Rupert Murdoch shut down the News of the World, which had been in existence since 1843, after revelations of phone-hacking and other questionable practices at the newspaper.
The government soon launched a public inquiry, led by Lord Justice Leveson.
The Leveson Inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the media has already produced some extraordinary testimony which may lead to proposed changes in press regulation.
Catholic Church
Ethical practices within the Catholic Church were the continuing concern of the Irish government.
Following the publication of Judge Yvonne Murphy's review of the Catholic diocese of Cloyne, Taoiseach Enda Kenny issued a stinging rebuke to the Vatican from the floor of the Dail.
He accused the Catholic hierarchy of putting the Church ahead of child rape victims.
The latest revelations, he said, had exposed a dysfunctional, elite hierarchy determined to frustrate investigations, and he warned the Holy See that religion does not rule Ireland.
"For the first time in Ireland, a report into child sexual abuse exposes an attempt by the Holy See to frustrate an inquiry in a sovereign, democratic republic as little as three years ago, not three decades ago," he said.
In August, and to the great relief of the Presbyterian Church, thousands of people across Northern Ireland received cheques in the post from the failed Presbyterian Mutual Society (PMS).
A rescue package underwritten by the Westminster government and the Stormont executive allowed those who invested less than £20,000 to get all their money back.
Larger investors received 85% of their money, with final settlements dependent on the sale of PMS assets.
There was less cheering in the Church of Ireland as it emerged that one of their senior clergy, the Very Rev Tom Gordon, had entered into a civil partnership with his partner of 20 years.
That outraged some conservative members of the Church of Ireland, particularly in Northern Ireland.
But Dean Gordon revealed that he entered into the new legal partnership with the full knowledge of his bishop, Michael Burrows, and that his relationship has been supported by members of his congregation.
The Church of Ireland's House of Bishops soon announced that they would hold a crisis summit in the Spring of 2012 and encouraged their clergy and members to resist un-Christian language in public debates about the controversy.
If Anglicans were plunged, yet again, into a debate about sexuality, Catholics were, at least momentarily, reflecting on celibacy.
In September, the former Bishop of Derry Dr Edward Daly called for an end to mandatory clerical celibacy, suggesting that the rule discouraged many well-qualified young Catholics from ordained service.
Why the bishop waited until his 77th year to share this conviction with the public remains something of a mystery.
That same month, Northern Ireland's health minister, Edwin Poots, ruled that sexually active gay men will not be permitted to donate blood, leading to allegations of "irrational prejudice".
The health ministers in England, Scotland and Wales had already lifted the ban on the basis of a new review of the clinical evidence which concludes that there is no significant risk to public safety warranting a continuation of the ban.
Politicians from across the political spectrum in Northern Ireland joined leaders from the main Protestant churches in attending the funeral of the murdered Catholic police officer Ronan Kerr.
At the Requiem Mass in April, Cardinal Sean Brady appealed to dissidents: "In God's name stop - and stop now!"
Norway massacre
As the year progressed, we began to get a better picture of Anders Behring Breivik, the man who murdered 68 men, women and children in two attacks in Norway on 22 July.
It emerged that Breivik passionately hated Muslims and, bizarrely, appeared to have believed he was defending Christian values by assaulting the multicultural outlook of contemporary Europe.
Court-appointed psychiatrists assessing Breivik later concluded he was clinically insane, a paranoid schizophrenic who should be treated as such.
The year ended with the sad news of Christopher Hitchens's death at the age of 62.
Amongst those who stepped forward to pay tribute to the "new atheist" as one of the greatest prose writers and public intellectuals of our age were a coterie of Christians who befriended him between bouts of intellectual sparring.
These included Pastor Douglas Wilson, who co-starred with Hitchens in a documentary recorded on their touring debates, and Dr Francis Collins, the evangelical Christian who heads America's National Institutes of Health and who advised Hitchens on new treatments for cancer.
Perhaps the strangest story of the year was the rapture that failed to materialise.
Harold Camping is an eccentric American pastor and a serial predictor of the end of days.
He previously announced that the Rapture would take place on 21 May 1988, then again on 7 September 1994.
His most recent prediction, 21 May 2011, came and went, so he "reinterpreted" his prophecy and Judgment Day was re-scheduled for 21 October 2011.
The fact that you are reading this now is evidence enough of the need for a further re-scheduling.
Apparently an "invisible judgment day" took place last May, so invisible that it took the pastor two days to realise it has happened.
Harold Camping later apologised for the whole eschatological mess and resigned from ministry.

Less than a week before the election and super storm Sandy has given Mitt Romney another compelling reason to change his mind, or at least his tune, without actually admitting that he's doing it.
Here's Romney circa mid-2011 on the subject of whether the budget of the Federal Emergency Management Agency should be cut:
"We cannot -- we cannot afford to do those things without jeopardizing the future for our kids."
THEN AND NOW: Devastation from super storm Sandy
And as for what to do with emergency response instead, he said:
"Every time you have an occasion to take something from the federal government and send it back to the states, that's the right direction. And if you can go even further and send it back to the private sector, that's even better."
Nothing could have made those statements sound more foolish than Sandy, the multistate natural catastrophe that called for a giant coordinated effort across state boundaries. Which is probably why the GOP presidential hopeful wasn't talking up the private sector or the harm the nation was doing to future children by rescuing the ones affected by a killer storm today. Instead, he said in a statement:

Taking Science on Faith
Unlike biologists, who get tarred with the brush of Creationism at the slightest mention of the G-word, physicists have been free to bring God into their speculation. Here, physicist Paul Davies explains the obvious: that both religion and science are confronted with mysteries that can't be reduced to theories or empirical investigation.… READ MORE >

Big Brain Theory: Have Cosmologists Lost Theirs?
"It could be the weirdest and most embarrassing prediction in the history of cosmology, if not science… If true, it would mean that you yourself reading this article are more likely to be some momentary fluctuation in a field of matter and energy out in space than a person with a real past born through billions of years of evolution in an orderly star-spangled cosmos… If you are inclined to skepticism this debate might seem like further evidence that cosmologists… have finally lost their minds."

meet the team
Brian Kong
Milton, MA
Milton Academy
Grade: Sophomore
reading, web browsing (especially wikipedia), drawing, playing with computer(programming, etc.)
Math Club, Science Magazine, etc.
2008 US Physics Team, AMC, AIME, and some other competitions in Korea
I was born in America, but mostly grew up in Korea, before coming to Milton Academy, a boarding school in Milton, MA. This is my second year at Milton. Ever since I was young, I was interested in math and how things worked. But strangely at the time, I did not really like the science that was being taught at school. All of this changed, when I first encountered a physics textbook in 7th grade. I began to see how interconnected math and science were. I was amazed how the world could actually be described in a very orderly and mathematical language. And this also made me appreciate math and its power of abstraction even more. Ever since I have been very passionate about physics. I like physics that explains things I experience daily. I am also fascinated by more abstract and counterintuitive branches of physics.
Besides physics and math I've always liked to sit back relax while thinking and imagining. Thinking about physics and how it relates to the world can get quite philosophical. These things makes me confused all the time but they are fascinating and it is sometimes even enjoyable to be confused.
I enjoy reading both books and websites, especially nonfiction. I enjoy getting to know more about virtually any non-trivial things. That's why I like wikipedia so much. Starting with an article and reading more and more by following the related article links has been one of my favorite hobbies. I especially like reading about the small details in history and imagining what life back then might have been like. For example I like looking at historical maps. It gives you a far more extensive sense of the past then descriptions of major events that you can find in history textbooks. I also like architecture and listening to various types of music in my free time.
I greatly enjoyed the experience with the physics team last year. And I am looking forward to the camp this year.

Apple cuts iPad price
Tablet discounted in run-up to new version's debut
Apple has knocked £100 off the price of the first-generation iPad.
Undoubtedly a move to clear the shelves before the arrival, on 25 March, of the new version, the upshot is that buyers can avail themselves of the older, thicker, heavier model for less.
The 16GB Wi-Fi only is now £329, down from £429 - which is what the 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G model now costs.
Run up the 3G-less line, and the 32GB iPad is now £399, the 64GB version £479. Add 100 quid to those prices to add HSPA 3G connectivity.
Who will take Apple up on the offer? With the superior offering only weeks away, not that fans, that's for sure. But it may be enough to tempt buyers keen on the tablet but thus far put off by the price.
Apple won't actively pitch the old iPad as the low-cost option, but that's what it will become, just as the iPhone 3GS is still being sold, despite the arrival of the iPhone 4 last summer.
But even £100 off still leaves the iPad looking pricey when even speedy, Nvidia Tegra 2-based, Android-running tablets like Dixons' Advent Vega can be had for £250. ®

Since 1998, the numbers of hunters in California has continued to increase, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which believes there are about 320,000 licensed people older than 16 who go afield.
Since 1998, the numbers of hunters in California has continued to increase, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which believes there are about 320,000 licensed people older than 16 who go afield.
Major reasons for the boost in the hunting fraternity are programs designed especially for women and youth, such as Becoming An Outdoors Woman seminars, upland game and big game hunts, and this weekend's annual federally sponsored Youth Waterfowl Hunt for boys and girls 15 years and under, who hold a valid junior hunting license.
On Saturday and Sunday, only youth may carry or discharge a firearm aimed at ducks and geese. The special "after season" hunt is conducted free on most state wildlife areas and national wildlife refuges, and on privately owned duck clubs. Bottom line: If you have a child who would like to waterfowl hunt, ask any adult hunter you know if he will open his marshes to you.
"This is the best program for youth hunters I can think of," said Tim Davanis of Stockton, a regional director for the California Waterfowl Association. "Show me a youngster who bags that first bird and they're a hunter for life. It's all about being with a caring adult, learning about ecology and gun safety and having the opportunity."
Information: Cal Waterfowl, (916) 648-1406, or Los Banos Wildlife Area, (209) 826-0463.
And, if getting outside is more important than gearing up for Sunday's 49ers vs. Ravens Super Bowl in New Orleans, here are some close-to-home suggestions for family fun.
Located about 22 miles north of Stockton off Interstate 5, its well-appointed visitor center greets adventurers on weekends. There are docents, informational displays and numerous walking trails through the old-growth riparian forest and a boardwalk through a seasonal wetland that is teeming with birds - white-fronted geese, pintail ducks, sand hill cranes and a variety of shorebirds - to name a few. Take the Twin Cities Road exit and head east, then south on Franklin Boulevard.
Tour the state facility and see juvenile steelhead and king salmon and learn about the lifecycle of these anadromous fish. Then, take a picnic and hike along Van Assen Park just below the hatchery where deer, wild turkey and many raptors and songbirds can be viewed. Wet a line and try your luck. Take Highway 12 east of Clements and turn onto McIntire Road to reach the hatchery and park. Open daily sunrise to sunset. Free admission.
A 90-minute drive will transport you to another world reminiscent of how the Central Valley appeared at the time of the pioneers. This is the San Luis NWR. Its new, state-of-the-art visitor center is open daily from sunrise to sunset. There is no charge to view dioramas, hear biologists speak about flora and fauna, and learn about the ecosystems that make up the vast Grassland Ecological Area, home to the largest concentrations of ducks and geese on the entire Pacific Flyway. There are nature trails, vehicle tour routes to see a herd of tule elk and tens of thousands of birds, observation decks and picnic areas. Get there by taking Highway 99 south to Turlock and exit on Lander Avenue (Highway 165) south. About 10 miles north of Los Banos turn onto Wolfson Road and follow signs to San Luis, a jewel in the refuge system.
Walk along the Calaveras River from University of the Pacific west toward the Stockton Sailing Club, seeing birds and critters that call this urban waterway their home. Or, walk around Lodi Lake and its adjacent wildlife area. You don't have to go far to enjoy nature. In fact, the beauty you'll discover might make you forget about the game.

As the population for the Lauderdale County jail continues to exceed capacity, the cost to house the inmates also continues to rise.
The facility in downtown Meridian is equipped to house up to 290 inmates. As of Thursday morning 287 were there, and an additional 20 from the jail were being housed in neighboring Kemper County, which has agreed to help ease the overcrowding problem.
"We estimate and have submitted with our budget for the upcoming year that if we maintain that population in Kemper in the 20 to 30 range, that's an additional $250,000 of money that we will have to increase the budget for the Lauderdale County Detention Facility," says Sheriff Billy Sollie.
This is aside from the 3% increase in costs that the jail's food service and medical coverage providers are each calling for starting the next fiscal year.
Meanwhile, as the jail's occupancy rate steadily exceeds its capacity, the big questions are, 'What can and will be done to address this issue long term?'
"You have two options," says Sollie. "Number one we can do nothing or number two we can add additional space. We would like to have that discussion, but as we all know the board of supervisors just voted for a $14 million bond issue for recreational activities and the renovation of the courthouse."
For that reason, Sheriff Sollie says additions to the jail anytime soon are unlikely.
Currently Lauderdale County pays Kemper County $20 per day, per inmate to house the extra inmates there. With no long term solution at this time, Sheriff Sollie says there's no choice but to pay the costs.
If Lauderdale County supervisors renew the contract with the current food service provider, the cost for each meal per inmate will increase from $.97 to $1, and the cost for medical insurance will rise to $339,000 per year.

UB: As a major public research university, we are an excellent setting for discussion of issues important to the Obama administration
When President Barack Obama addresses an audience at the University at Buffalo on Thursday, Aug. 22, it will mark the first time since 1853 that a sitting U.S. president has spoken at the university.
"President Obama's visit to the University at Buffalo will be a historic occasion for our university and our community," said UB President Satish K. Tripathi, "and we are happy to provide a forum for the president to address issues important to our nation.
"On behalf of the entire Buffalo-Niagara region, we look forward to welcoming the president of the United States to our university and our community."
Obama's address to the nation from the UB campus is expected to focus on issues important to America's middle class, such as the rising cost of higher education. As a major public research university and a leading voice in the national conversation about issues vital to higher education, UB is an appropriate setting for such a discussion, Tripathi said.
A member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, UB was praised this year as a national model for higher education reform by the New America Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy institute.
The New America Foundation report highlighted UB as one of six "next generation" universities nationwide, citing the university's innovative approaches to controlling costs and expanding student access while improving the quality of education. UB was noted, in particular, for working with Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher to enact the historic NYSUNY 2020 legislation, and the report praised UB's "Finish in 4" graduation pledge to students.
The university also is at the forefront of other issues important to the Obama administration, including health care, improving STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education, and economic revitalization through development of university research.
For example, the university is building a new medical school in downtown Buffalo to strengthen the region's health care, pioneer new medical treatments and fuel job creation. And last year, UB launched the New York State Center of Excellence in Materials Informatics, modeled after the Obama administration's Materials Genome Initiative, to spur discovery and development of new materials important to national security and essential to the manufacture of innovative products and technologies.
"Fostering a public space for discussing these and other pressing societal issues is vital to our mission as a leading research university focused on advancing the greater public good," Tripathi said. "We are delighted to have the opportunity to host such a timely and meaningful conversation here at UB."
Millard Fillmore, who served as the nation's 13th president, was university chancellor from 1846-74, holding the title even while serving as U.S. vice president from 1849-50 and as president from 1850-53. Since then, four former presidents have spoken at the university.
Further information regarding the timing, location and topic of Obama's address at UB will be forthcoming from the White House, as well as additional details about the availability of tickets for this event.
The university will provide updates about Obama's visit on its website, www.buffalo.edu.

Quote from Sliding Glass Patio Doors Beautifying Home Inside and Out :
There is plenty of sliding doors designs you can refer when you finally decide to install ones into your living area. For example, you can mix the glass fixture with wooden frame. Aluminum frame is also a good choice. You can paint the frame for your sliding doors with glass material in any color you like, even if it is the bright and pop one to make the doors simply noticeable. However, what about opting for neutral colors for your framed sliding glass patio doors to make the look simply timeless?

With flowers, flames and teary eyes, veterans, soldiers and European leaders celebrated peace in ceremonies around the continent marking the 68th anniversary of the Allied victory over the Nazis.
The events offered a moment of reflection and illustrated the importance of European unity as the continent is struggling with economic troubles and lingering tension between Russia and the West.
Graying former fighters from Russia and other Soviet republics stood proudly beneath the Soviet war memorial at Treptower Park in Berlin, honoring millions of comrades-in-arms killed in World War II.
In Moscow, President Vladimir Putin attended a ceremony beneath the Kremlin walls ahead of two days of public holiday and military parades for Victory Day, which remains a significant event on the Russian calendar and in the Russian psyche.
To the west, the presidents of France and Poland laid a wreath beneath the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, flanked by French and Polish soldiers. The two men, whose countries were occupied by the Nazis, then re-ignited the flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, their hands side by side gripping an enormous torch.
Several countries mark Victory in Europe Day.

Petraeus resigns as head of CIABy MICHAEL A. MEMOLI
Tribune Washington Bureau
November 09. 2012 10:26PM
WASHINGTON - CIA Director David Petraeus unexpectedly resigned Friday, citing "poor judgment" after engaging in an extramarital affair.
In a statement sent to CIA staff, Petraeus said he had personally delivered a letter of resignation to President Barack Obama on Thursday, which was accepted on Friday.
"After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair," Petraeus said. "Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours."
Petreaus, who turned 60 this week, assumed leadership of America's fabled spy service in September 2011, replacing Leon Panetta, who became secretary of defense. He previously served as top commander in Afghanistan, head of U.S. Central Command, and top commander in Iraq.
Petraeus' wife, Holly Petraeus, is an official with the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. A long-time military wife, she was appointed in 2011 as head of the agency's Office of Servicemember Affairs, which looks out for the financial interests of people in the armed services.
Petraeus and his wife have long had a seasonal boat house in Springfield, N.H., where Mrs. Petraeus' family lived for many years.
Petraeus is registered to vote in Springfield.
White House press secretary Jay Carney, who was holding his regular press briefing as news of the resignation broke, declined to offer any details. But in a statement released later Obama thanked Petraeus for his "extraordinary service."
"By any measure, he was one of the outstanding General officers of his generation, helping our military adapt to new challenges, and leading our men and women in uniform through a remarkable period of service in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he helped our nation put those wars on a path to a responsible end. As director of the Central Intelligence Agency, he has continued to serve with characteristic intellectual rigor, dedication and patriotism. By any measure, through his lifetime of service David Petraeus has made our country safer and stronger," he said.
Obama said he was confident the CIA would "continue to thrive and carry out its essential mission."
Michael Morell, the agency's deputy director, will serve as acting director.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Dave and Holly Petraeus, who has done so much to help military families through her own work. I wish them the very best at this difficult time," he said.
James Clapper, director of National Intelligence, praised Petraeus' decades of service to the country "in uniform and out."
"Of all the exceptional men and women I have worked with over the years, I can honestly say that Dave Petraeus stands out as one of our nation's great patriots," Clapper said in a statement.

ORANGE – Police seek a woman suspected of killing another woman in a shooting Thursday afternoon in an Orange neighborhood.
Officers about 3:30 p.m. responded to reports of a woman shot in the 2000 block of East Palmyra Avenue, Orange police Sgt. Dan Adams said.
Officers found a woman suffering from gunshot wounds on a sidewalk near an apartment complex. The woman, who police say was in her mid-40s, was taken to a hospital, where she died hours later.
Police are not releasing the shooting victim's name until her family is notified of the death.
Authorities on Thursday night identified a woman suspected in the shooting as Jessica Gonzalez, 35, of Santa Ana. Gonzalez, who police say is about 5-foot-5 and 90 pounds, was wearing black sweat pants and a black, long-sleeve shirt.
Gonzalez, who police say was armed with a handgun, reportedly escaped on foot before officers arrived.
Police on Thursday night were still searching for Gonzalez, who they cautioned is to be "armed and dangerous."
Police say Gonzalez and the woman killed in the shooting knew each other but indicated that the extent of their relationship and the cause of the shooting are under investigation.
Christie Lowe, a resident of the neighborhood where the shooting took place, said she heard as many as four gunshots, a brief pause, then two to three additional gunshots.
Lowe said she went outside and saw a woman with a gun pacing back and forth. Lowe went back inside her home to call 911, and when she came out again, the woman was leaving the neighborhood on foot.
Lowe and other neighbors said they recognized the woman with the gun, described her as living in the neighborhood and indicated that she is known to act erratically.
Both directions of Tustin Street were temporarily closed after the shooting. Tustin Street was opened about 5 p.m., but the neighborhood off Palmyra remained cordoned off, with residents waiting to return to their homes watching from a nearby gas station as police went over scene.
Authorities ask anyone with information to contact Orange police detective Scott Trausch at 714-936-1204.

Learning Index >> Hand-blockprinted Textiles: Phyllis Barron and Dorothy Larcher
They had a flair for overprinting and often obtained unusually rich effects, for example Guinea was sometimes used twice to print on the same material, the block being reversed the second time it was printed. (No. 1) They would also use 'found' objects to print with: a plastic nail brush was occasionally used for spotting, while Motor was simply a rubber car mat which they cut up and made into a block by mounting on wood. (No. 2) Other designs such as Gordon might be embellished with an overprinted V and a small running zigzag achieved with a pastry cutter. (No. 3)
The names of designs derived from a variety of sources. They could be relatively straightforward like Diagonal or Dandelion. (No. 4, 5) Alternatively they might be named after the place or person particularly associated with the design for example Peach was named after Harry Peach, the founder of Dryad Handicrafts in Leicester.

Red Hat opens up Spice desktop virtualisation protocol
Starts plotting Fedora 13 features
In keeping with its practice of eventually open sourcing the software technologies it acquires or creates, commercial Linux distributor Red Hat has said that it has let go of the code behind the Spice protocol. This was a key ingredient of the Solid ICE desktop virtualisation platform that it got its hands on when it bought KVM hypervisor maker Qumranet in September 2008 for $107m.
Red Hat threw down its own server and desktop gauntlet in February of this year. It said it would back away from its support of Xen and roll out standalone Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) hypervisors and management tools for servers and desktops as well as embedding the KVM hypervisor inside its Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distro.
The standalone KVM hypervisor went into beta in June, while KVM was embedded as the preferred hypervisor in the RHEL 5.4 update in September. The RHEV Hypervisor, or RHEV H for short, plus its companion RHEV Manager (RHEV M, and explicitly for managing KVM on servers) went commercial in November.
The SolidICE virtual desktop infrastructure tools based on the KVM hypervisor are being rejigged as the RHEV Desktop edition, and will consist of a bare-metal or type 1 hypervisor for PCs and the tools to manage desktop operating systems and their virtualisation layers. While the RHEV server and tools are separate products, they are sold as a bundle that costs $499 per server socket for standard support and $749 per socket for premium support. Red Hat has not said what RHEV Desktop will cost when it is delivered in early 2010. It has also not been more precise about the date on when RHEV Desktop will come to market: the software is currently in private beta testing.
In the original SolidICE VDI tools, the Spice, which is short for Simple Protocol for Independent Computing Environment, was an alternative to Microsoft's Remote Data Protocol used for linking PCs to remote servers. SolidICE lets users access their remote PC instances running on servers through RDP or through Spice, which was optimized for LAN (rather than remote WAN or dialup) connections. It was specifically intended to do a better job rendering multimedia (graphics, video, and audio) than RDP does and to use much less resources on the servers that back-end the VDI setup.
Having open sourced Spice, Red Hat will now try to rally support around the protocol and get the open source community to help make it better. The focal point for Spice development is www.spice-space.org, not the Fedora Project where Red Hat's Linuxes get bolted together before being hardened for the commercial RHEL releases. Most of the Spice code is distributed under the GPL v2 license, but some bits of code use LGPL or BSD licenses. You can get the Spice protocol specs here.
In a separate announcement, Red Hat said that 200 members of the Fedora Project met in Toronto for the FUDcon developer's conference and began the task of hammering out what features will be going into Fedora 13. The Fedora 12 release came out in mid-November, and the project says that it is going to try to get back to a May Day and Halloween release schedule in 2010.
The expectation is that Fedora 13 will have a smaller number of new features than Fedora 11 and 12 had, and that the project will work on making the fit and finish of the software better. The most important thing for Red Hat is to take a snapshot of Fedora 13 and ruggedize it with the most current possible and stable Linux kernel, to get RHEL 6 into the field around the middle of next year. ®

Last night rumors emerged that she'd been offered one of the lead roles in the new season, but today E! reports that her reps say she is in fact not doing the show. (HBO concurs; no Chastain.) Alas, someone else will have to wear the ill-fitting agency windbreaker that all female law-enforcement characters are required to wear on television. Back to the Twitter drawing board.

Whistling Girl
by Ann Marcus
Hardcover - 320 pages (November 1998)
Our price: $22.95
As cocreator and writer of the wild, groundbreaking soap Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, Ann Marcus didn't hold back--and that's still her style. Her new, ultra-dishy autobiography, Whistling Girl (Mulholland Pacific Publishing), chronicles her years as queen of the prime-time serials--she also wrote for Peyton Place, Knots Landing and Falcon Crest--but what really had us gasping were her no- holds-barred memories of writing Search For Tomorrow, Days of Our Lives and General Hospital. It's all here: paranoia, petty jealousies, office politics and angry stars. Marcus says she was verbally attacked in public by SFT leading lady Mary Stuart. She openly blames her firing at Days on the "plotting" of elderly cowriter Elizabeth Harrower, mother of the show's star, Susan Seaforth Hayes. Then there's the 1988 set-side intervention to help an alcoholic GH actress, whom Marcus doesn't name but does say is still on the show, making it very easy to do the math. Ouch!

Honors Thesis
The Honors Thesis is a written manuscript that presents a piece of original scholarship conducted under the guidance of a faculty mentor. For most Honors students, completion of the Honors thesis will be the climax of their college careers. Working on a thesis project provides ways of developing the ability to investigate a problem and to do serious writing, research, or creative work that will provide a foundation for work in their chosen profession.
By completing an Honors Thesis, you will develop knowledge, skills and initiative that are essential to meet future challenges. You will develop self-knowledge and new personal resources. When you are pushed to the limit of your energy and creativity, you will discover new ways of addressing problems and organizing time. This training is invaluable and you will often look back to realize just how much difference it made in your professional preparation.
In addition to independent work, the project involves a close relationship between the student and the faculty members, particularly with the professor supervising your scholarly work. Such sustained interpersonal interaction contributes greatly to the quality of the experience, leads to more intimate and informative letters of recommendation, and sometimes leads to lifelong professional relationships.
Typically, preparation for the Honors Thesis starts in the junior year and finishes in the senior year. In the spring semester of their junior year, students find a mentor and write a proposal for their project which must be approved by the Research Committee of the Honors Council. They then conduct research or scholarship for their project, usually into the Fall semester of their senior year. They write up the project and present their work at the SURE Conference in the spring semester, as they graduate with their Honors degree.
The Honors Thesis process is documented in the Thesis Handbook, which also contains appropriate forms for students and faculty mentors.
Sample Thesis topics:
- 2016
- 2015
- 2014

Students and faculty may apply for reimbursement of expenses for Honors Thesis research or related scholarship. Please see Thesis Expenses for instructions and application forms.

PRETORIA, South Africa, April 21 (UPI) -- A South African journalist claims Olympian Oscar Pistorius took acting lessons to help prepare him to give testimony during his murder trial for killing girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
Jani Allan, a former columnist for the South African Sunday Times, made the allegations about Pistorius in a post on her blog. "I have it from a reliable source that you are taking acting lessons for your days in court," Allan wrote in the post. "Your coach has an impossible task."
Pistorius threw up and sobbed while giving testimony in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria.
Allan reiterated her allegations while speaking with The Sunday People. "I have this information from extremely reliable sources," she said. "I have it on very good authority that Oscar is being coached on his court performance by a close actor friend, who is also famous in South Africa."
Steenkamp's mother June also questioned whether his testimony was an act. "He has been very dramatic, the vomiting and crying. I think he's just about keeping himself together," she said. "I don't know whether he's acting."
The "Blade Runner" is facing 25 years to life in prison if he is convicted.

Melissa's team reached the summit in adverse conditions - conditions that seem to be threatening to end the climbing season on Everest earlier than usual this year.

Sydney FC had been desperate to keep the Italian legend, who had reportedly fielded offers from several clubs around the world.
Their wish has been granted, with the 38-year-old marquee man - scorer of 11 goals this A-League season - happy to remain at the Sky Blues.
"I am very happy to be staying at Sydney FC for another season," the Juventus legend said via statement.
"I chose Sydney FC at the beginning of this season because I wanted to show my love of football in another country and I have enjoyed the challenge and my time at Sydney FC and in Australia.
"I have always said I want to continue that for next season but first we must work hard for success on the field for the rest of this season."
Football Federation Australia chief David Gallop said Del Piero's decision to stay is a huge show of faith for Australian football and the A-League.
"If he'd gone just one season then people may have questioned how he felt about the A-League," Gallop said.
"This is very much him saying he had a great experience and he wants to have it again.
"That's great for football in Australia and the A-League and it's exciting to have him signing for a second season."
The decision to stay and activate the second year of his €1.5 million-a-season deal was met with delight by Sydney FC Chairman Scott Barlow.
"I am delighted to announce that Alessandro Del Piero will continue to be a Sydney FC player for the 2013-14 season," said Barlow.
"Alessandro's arrival at Sydney FC has been a wonderful success for Sydney FC and the A-League both domestically and internationally.
"His performances on the field have been tremendous, highlighted by him becoming the leading goalscorer for Sydney FC in a single season, but off the field he has also delivered unprecedented interest and profile for Sydney FC across all levels of the club.
"We look forward to working together with Alessandro to increase the profile of Sydney FC and football in Australia as we strive for success on the pitch for the remainder of this season and next."

Winfield's Veterans' Home grounds will be the site of the 2013 KCAC Cross Country Championship on Saturday, November 9. The women's 5-kilometer race will begin at 10:30 a.m., with the men's 8-kilometer race is scheduled to follow at 11:15 a.m.
Winfield's Veterans' Home grounds will be the site of the 2013 KCAC Cross Country Championship on Saturday, November 9. The women's 5-kilometer race will begin at 10:30 a.m., with the men's 8-kilometer race is scheduled to follow at 11:15 a.m.
The winning team in each division will be the KCAC's automatic team qualifier for the NAIA National Championships to be held November 23 at Rim Rock Farm, northwest of Lawrence, Kansas. The top five individual finishers in each division not on the qualifying team and finishing in the top 15 of the conference meet will also qualify for the national championships which are being hosted by the KCAC and the Lawrence Sports Commission.
Brielle Lund of Tabor College will return to defend her KCAC individual women's title from 2012 while the leading returnee in the men's division will be last year's runner-up, Joel Allen, also of Tabor.
Lund won last year's KCAC meet, hosted by Ottawa University on its Pomona Lake course, with time of 19:32.0.
Twice named the KCAC cross country Runner-of-the-Week this fall, she followed up her KCAC cross country title run with the top finish by a KCAC female at the NAIA National Championships, finishing 81st.
Also included in her collegiate resume are KCAC track titles at 3,000 both indoors and outdoors.
Seven other top 11 finishers returning from last year's KCAC women's championship include: 2. Rachel Renken (Friends), 4. Hillary Callaway (KWU); 6. Haley Welch (Friends), 7. Chelsea Fullerton (Ottawa), 8. Connie Collins (Friends), 9. Aspen Frey (McPherson), 10. Cassie Hollenback (Southwestern), and 11. Kelsey Buffum (Southwestern).
Allen placed second at the 2012 championship held on Ottawa University's Pomona Lake course in a time of 26:38.3. Named the KCAC Runner-of-the-Week twice this season, Allen placed fifth at the 2011 KCAC meet and was Tabor's top finisher in all five of the BlueJays' meets, topped by his KCAC leading 25:01.35 at the Southwestern NAIA Mid-States Classic two weeks ago.
Half of last season's KCAC top ten men finishers return including: 4. Brock Nooney (Friends), 5. Colton McNinch (Southwestern), 6. Brooks Ballou (Saint Mary) and 7. Peyton Wade (Friends).
Preseason polls by the conference coaches ranked Friends University as the early favorite to repeat as champion of the women's division, followed by Tabor, while Southwestern was the men's preseason favorite over the University of Saint Mary.
Friends University is the two-time defending women's team champions, but Southwestern and Kansas Wesleyan appear ready to challenge the Falcons.
The last 13 women's team titles have been distributed among four schools with Southwestern winning five outright crowns while KWU and Friends have each won three team championships. Southwestern and KWU shared the 2006 title. Ottawa won the 2003 team championship.
Ranked No. 20 in the latest NAIA national poll, Southwestern's men will enter the 2013 conference meet as the defending champion, after Friends University in 2011 broke the Moundbuilders' streak of 31 straight KCAC titles, from 1980 through 2010.
Prior to Friends' win in 2011, Bethany College was the last non-Southwestern team to win a KCAC title, having taken home the team title in 1979.
Over the past 33 years, the Moundbuilders have also won all but four individual titles.
Seven schools are represented among the KCAC's top 10 women's best times led by Ana Gamboa's (Saint Mary) 18:22.65. Three schools have a pair of individuals in the top 10: University of Saint Mary - Gamboa and No. 8 Amy Jystad; Kansas Wesleyan - No. 2 Valarie Segay (18:45.4) and No. 9 Tara Davis; Southwestern - No. 3 Kelsey Buffum (18:45.9) and No. 5 Cassie Hollenback (18:47.98). Rounding out top 10 are No. 4 Brielle Lund (Tabor – 18:46.2), No. 6 Rachel Renken (Friends), No. 7 Amber Burgess (Sterling) and No. 10 Aspen Frey (McPherson).
Gamboa's and Hollenback's bests came at the recent Southwestern hosted NAIA Mid-States Classic on the Veterans' Home course.
The other top five times all came at the Missouri Southern Invitational.
The men's top 10 has representatives from six schools led by Joel Allen's (Tabor) 25:01.35. He is joined in the top 10 by teammate Garrett Daughtery (#5 – 25:44.30). Three other schools have two reps in the top 10: University of Saint Mary – #2 Brooks Ballou (25:08.72) and #4 Josh Whittaker (25:34.5); Southwestern - #3 Colton McNinch (25:24.5) and #9 Sam McDaniel; Friends - #7 Brock Nooney and #8 Peyton Wade. The remaining top 10 times were posted by #6 Jeremiah Gerardy (Bethany) and #10 Hunter Stayton (Kansas Wesleyan).
The start and finish lines for both races will be in the area east of the building complex of the Winfield Veterans' Home. The championship course is relatively flat, mostly grass with a couple of long, gentle hills. The women's 5-kilometer race will consist of one 3,000-meter loop, then one 2,000-meter loop. The men's 8-kilometer course will be two loops of the 3,000-meter course followed by one 2,000-meter loop.
The Southwestern women's 5k course record is 16:17.99 by Hannah Helker (Oklahoma Baptist) in 2013 while the men's 8k course record is 23:17 by Kennedy Kithuka (Wayland Baptist) in 2011.

The doctrine of karma and rebirth provides the best theory of the workings of moral order.
Therefore there is a moral advantage in accepting the doctrine of karma and rebirth.
Does anyone else have a reason to believe in rebirth?

"Color" in diamonds actually refers to a lack of color. The less body color, the rarer and more valuable the diamond, and the higher its color grade. Colorless (D, E, F) and Near Colorless (G, H, I, J) are all acceptable ranges of diamond color and will not exhibit body color when viewed in a piece of jewelry.
When it comes to color, Hearts On Fire diamonds are in the D, E, F, and G, H, I, J range.
Additionally, Hearts On Fire offers a limited quantity, in very limited designs, of Hearts On Fire jewelry set with Faint (K) color Hearts On Fire diamonds.
In addition, Hearts on Fire serialized diamonds are offered in complete engagement rings in two high-quality categories: Sensational and Signature.

Fitting In
Cody appears to sometimes wander aimlessly, pacing back and forth and rambling on with what seems to be an endless stream of echolalia. But his behavior is not always random and meaningless. There are distinct patterns of words and actions that are meant to achieve a clear objective. And after years of observation Bill and I have been able to discern what some of those objectives are—particularly when the goal is to interact with others in social situations.
It has been my experience that many people believe Cody has no actual desire to participate in social experiences because he often appears to be off doing his own thing, not paying any attention to anything around him. But for the last year we have noticed a monumental shift in the way Cody demonstrates the level of his awareness.
Cody used to not speak of an event until much later. Until he did we were not entirely sure how that circumstance affected him. Some believe it is because it takes him longer to mentally process an event when the real issue is a language processing deficit. And because there have been many times he could not express himself with language many people are led to believe he lacks the capacity to be social.
Over the last few years Cody's language processing issues have begun to wane and with that his true desires for social interaction with others has become apparent. His wish to participate in conversation has dramatically increased. He listens to the conversations of others and begins to verbalize about it right away.
For the last year we have had a dead limb hanging high in a tree that we have been unable to get down. Today it came down and I told Bill I was "so thankful" it did. Immediately Cody looked Bill in the eye and told him he was "so thankful" the limb came down. He was "so thankful" his chair was fixed. And he was "so thankful" to lie on the sofa and watch TV at night with Mom.
Cody has been engaging in this kind of dialogue on a consistent basis over the last couple of months. This is his attempt to converse. It is decisive, not arbitrary. Word association processes are involved. He makes eye contact. He directs his comment to the person it's meant for. It isn't the repetitious chatter we've been used to for so long. And we've noticed desires for other kinds of group participation as well.
We have enjoyed a great deal of time outdoors this summer. Bill and I often spend our evenings sitting in our picnic area enjoying the mild weather, watching wildlife, talking about our day and having a cold beer. Meanwhile Cody revels in roaming around at will, having a Popsicle and giving new names to all the bugs.
Recently we noticed we had to watch where we put our beer and where Cody was in proximity to it. He became very adept at sneaking around and snatching it up to gulp it down before we knew it. While he is 27 years old and I would have no objections to his drinking responsibly, I'm unsure of what effect the combination of alcohol and his medications may have on him. And yet I hated to deny him what is considered by many to be a pleasurable and social activity. So Bill bought some non-alcoholic beer. The bottle is similar in appearance to that of the beer we drink and the taste is close enough for Cody's liking. Cody was elated that he could now participate in this activity with us.
Many people believe that people with ASD lack the capacity to have social desires. Having spent 27 years raising my own son who is on the spectrum and four years working in behavioral health, I'm finding that statement to be untrue. Just because a person may not show they have desires to be social doesn't necessarily mean they don't have those desires. Sometimes it's up to others to help them find ways to channel in to what is a hidden capacity.

Perhaps this result had been coming – for a creaky Manchester United and for Tottenham Hotspur, who ended 23 years without a league win here thanks to a pacy, muscular performance that punched holes in Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
When Shinji Kagawa scored the third of three goals in three minutes at the start of a breathless second half, Spurs put on the tin helmet for the remaining 37, plus four that would cause Ferguson to continue a favourite theme in his post-match briefing. After André Villas-Boas's vibrant side had survived, the Scot complained that the extra 240 seconds were an "insult". It was before the added time that Ferguson witnessed the true reason his side lost.
Spurs were too big and too fast for United. In Sandro and Mousa Dembélé, Villas-Boas has midfield heft and speed, with the latter's heels possessing a turbo booster that glides him away from opponents. The Belgian creates as well as destroys, as he did on 32 minutes when taking Sandro's pass just outside the area, shifting into top gear to leave Paul Scholes watching, then finding Gareth Bale.
The Welshman is the prime speedster in this Spurs side. The way he tore through United's non-existent midfield and left Rio Ferdinand flailing in a different postcode before finishing right-footed beyond Anders Lindegaard terrified the home team.
That was Tottenham's second. Their opener also derived from pace. This time Jan Vertonghen sped down the left and the hapless Ferdinand could not stop him unloading a finish that was deflected past Lindegaard. In front of Roy Hodgson and his assistant Gary Neville, Ferdinand was having an afternoon to prove the England manager correct all along.
"Football reasons" was Hodgson's explanation for leaving Ferdinand out of the Euro 2012 squad, rather than his being unable to share a dressing room with John Terry. On this evidence Hodgson is prudent. Spurs' third came when Jermain Defoe barged Ferdinand aside down the left and, after Bale received and shot, Lindegaard's save went straight to Clint Dempsey, who scored.
On Thursday Hodgson announces his next England squad for the World Cup qualifiers with San Marino and Poland. After Ferguson stated he wants Ferdinand to concentrate on his club career, this display means the 33-year-old may not have a decision to make.
Wayne Rooney, who came on for the ineffective Ryan Giggs at half-time, will be chosen by Hodgson. The striker created Nani's 51st-minute strike that began the three-in-three-minutes goal rush, and he also hit the frame with a free-kick.
But Spurs hung on, and Villas-Boas said: "This is just the beginning for us. It's an away win, which means so much to our fans, our staff and our players. We spoke during the week and felt we could get a result: we came for the win. That's why we played so well in the first half because the players believed they could come and upset United. We just felt it was our day because of the confidence we have had on the training ground."
Villas-Boas and his band deserve the victory for the refreshing decision to fight United on their home turf. Pace and retaining the ball were key, he said. "I think [so] because, yes, we broke a couple of times, but in the first half it was more about our possession."
Before this second defeat in six league outings, United had endured some narrow escapes. Fulham and Southampton were both squeezed past, with 3-2 wins, while even Ferguson admitted United had not played at their best in the 2-1 victory at Liverpool in the previous match.
This defeat had been coming. A team-sheet featuring the 38-year-old Giggs and 37-year-old Scholes against a formidable opponent is a rarity. So when it dropped for this one, the alarm sounded among the home congregation.
Dembélé, a summer target for United to bolster their sagging midfield, had bullied the Reds earlier in the season here, when still at Fulham. Asked why many sides have scared United already this campaign, Villas-Boas played it straight. "It's not for me to comment," he said.
Patrice Evra was more open. "We had the winning mentality in the second half. But we have to start to play like this from the first minute," the left-back said. "Instead we'd already conceded two goals. That's why I say that the problem was inside our heads. It looked like we stayed in the hotel. Maybe I'm being hard on myself and the team but today we put on the Man United face only in the second half – and that is not enough if you want to win the title."
Of the two defeats already in the league, Evra said: "It's too much if you want to win the title. Two losses is too many but we have to try to be positive as well."

A simple and inexpensive accessory that will cut accurate joints.
By Bill Hylton
Pages: 94-96
From the November 2004 issue #144
Buy this issue now
The mortise and tenon is one of those fundamental joints you're obligated to master. It's used for building frames of all sorts (including post-and-beam architectural frames), as well as tables and chairs.
Over the years, especially in the last decade or two it seems, a variety of substitute joints and alternative constructions have been contrived to circumvent the mortise and tenon. I don't know why. The joint can be cut many ways, using different tools. For every woodworker, regardless of tooling, experience and self-perceived skill level, there must be a method that can be mastered.
If you're still looking, here's yet another approach for cutting tenons. It's router-free.

I knew in my heart that this was true. I had heard it several times, but darned if all of my personal tests just seemed to support the idea that the result set was always returned in order by the Clustered Index fields. But now, I have the proof I have been seeking!
In a comment to my How to Return Record #n post, Hugo Kornelis posted a link to his own post with the evidence (and later an explanation). I thought this was such a big deal that it deserved to be highlighted in a primary posting for the benefit of all those who missed his original post, only read the RSS feed and never follow the comments.
Thanks, Hugo!

The LG 19LD350 19-inch LCD TV doesn't look anything special on first inspection, with its low price and a fairly meaty depth (65mm) that confirms the absence of an LED backlight.
Despite a red strip across the bottom and a glowing blue 'on' indicator it's not exactly visually arresting, with the slim screen surround the design's high point.
The 19LD350 is all about usability. The floating graphical interface comprises eight shortcuts to its attractive menus, with easy access to inputs (only 'live' inputs are shown) including the USB slot.
From there, JPEG photos are displayed in double-quick time, while slideshows can be set to music; the 19LD350 can play MP3 music files, though –sadly– no video. That's a shame, because digital files such as DivX are best suited to a TV this size.
The eight-day EPG squeezes schedules for just five channels across two hours, though it redeems itself by being super-fast to operate and offering a now/next toggle button alongside a date switcher, which makes searching up to a week in advance a cinch.
The 19LD350 also has some cracking picture options, with an excellent 'Cinema' preset and all kinds of tweaking options.
A shame, then, that both the LCD panel and the speakers are of average quality. Freeview pictures appear soft, though clean and colourful, and while a Blu-ray player attached to the set's sole HDMI input provides pin-sharp visuals, the usual blur and judder takes the gloss off movies.
Colour is natural and contrast on the 19LD350 is pretty good, though there's a reasonably small viewing angle that sees blacks turn to grey from tight angles. Sound, meanwhile, is weak, with little in the way of low frequency audio.
A likeable effort from LG that excels in all areas aside from pictures and sound, where this 19-incher falls just short of expectations. If that's not of major concern to you at this size, there are few better TVs to curl up in front of.

Yummers the Cat Eats His Broccoli
Our little kitty Yummers LOVES his veggies. Here's a great picture I took of him and Mr. Vegan Eats and Treats recently. While Mr. VE&T is trying to peacefully enjoy his dinner, Yummers is screaming and yelling for some of the broccoli. This is standard behavior for our little guy. He's quite bossy while we're eating! His top three veggies are broccoli, asparagus, and fresh corn, but he really loves most veggies. Especially the green veggies.
In fact, we just started including some wet kitty food in his diet, but he still eats the pureed sweet potato before the kitty goo. Good boy, Yummers!
So, without further ado, here is a cute video of our little Yummers Potatoes joyfully and bossily eating his broccoli. I love how he runs off with his fresh broccoli stalk at the end, like a tiger on a hunt. Also, please ignore Mr. VE&Ts raving about whatever he was watching on TV. What a goober!
Also, as a little bonus... here is a cute video of our dog Stevie Wonder grunting and groaning and making her weird and cute little snuggle sounds. She is awesome.
Lots of foodie pics coming soon - the memory card is filling up!

OK, this post just made my DAY! What a couple of cuties! Yummers really took off with that broccoli there! *mine*ReplyDelete
Stevie Wonder makes the cutest snuggle sounds. I want to squeeze her senseless! (I won't) :)
