Los Angeles, Calif., Oct 29, 2013 / 04:01 pm (CNA).- Mother Antonia Brenner, who married and divorced twice before converting to the Catholic faith and devoting herself to prison ministry for nearly 39 years in Tijuana, died Oct. 17 at the age of 86.
"Humanly speaking, this is an irreparable loss, but from the point of view of the mission that she had, I think we have won something," Archbishop Rafael Romo Munoz of Tijuana said after receiving news of her death.
"She is a woman with the characteristics of a saint. I say that because I knew her and loved her a lot. I also received much affection from her. She has the traits of a saint, and that is why the Church has come out winning."
Mother Brenner was born Mary Clarke and was the mother of eight and lived in Beverly Hills prior to her conversion, which was effected by a dream. Even before this, she had done volunteer work for the poor in both Mexico and California.
In 1969 she dreamt she was a prisoner at Calvary preparing to be executed. Suddenly, Jesus appeared and offered to die in her place, which she refused, saying she would never leave him no matter what happened to her.
After this dream, Mother Brenner decided to devote her life to the Church.
Despite initial difficulties due to her status as a divorcee, in 2003 she founded the order of the Eudist Servants of the Eleventh Hour, which was founded for older women who feel called to serve the poor.
In an interview with the Los Angeles Times in 1982 about her prison ministry, Mother Antonia said, "Something happened to me when I saw men behind bars. … when I left, I thought a lot about the men. When it was cold, I wondered if the men were warm; when it was raining, if they had shelter."
"I wondered if they had medicine and how their families were doing. …when I returned to the prison to live, I felt as if I'd come home."
Both for the guards and the inmates at La Mesa penitentiary, Mother Brenner was the prison angel. But behind bars she was known as "Mama."
In her interview with the Times, Mother Antonia said the prisoners needed "to accept that they're wrong. They have to see the consequences. They have to feel the agony … but I do love them (Read More)

If we were to clone a famous Muslim person, might it have the effect of causing some Muslim people to finally question some things about their faith?
Would the clone also be Muslim? I don't think it would be nearly as effective if he wasn't.
Assuming the INfamous muslim cloned were the "prophet" muhammed, the muslims would probably kill him for insulting the prophet!
Although the clone would have the same DNA, there is no way to predict which genes will "express" themselves in the clone…the incubation process would be totally different from the original. The diet of this man's mother during her pregnancy cannot be genuinely recreated, so assuming your clone has the best of "womb-like" environments, the clone might be better or worse than the original, physically and neurobiologically. Simply put: you can't bake the same cake twice.
That aside, if the clone was an accurate duplication of this illiterate tribesman, chances are, he wouldn't turn out the same because the nurture (and nutrition) part of his existence would be vastly improved…he wouldn't have to be illiterate and would probably have a much better life as a clone. (Although, he might be considered mildly retarded compared to the hundreds of years of genetic evolutionary improvement.) Personally, I don't think the miscreant deserves another chance.
Would the muslims change their worldview if modern science were able to do this? Doubtful. They would consider it just another example of the evils of the west. And like I said at the beginning of this post: they'd probably kill him.
Would the clone also be Muslim? I don't think it would be nearly as effective if he wasn't.
Don't be ridiculous. You have to create two clones. Raise one of them a Jew and one as a Muslim. Then let them resolve the matter in a cage fighting match.
The clones would be conceived, gestate, and be born. You could raise them to be anything you wanted, within limits of course.
Raising one to be an Islamic Catholic Buddhist Hindu Jew would be a great trick, however.
I think it would be good to explore what type of effect a successful human cloning experiment might have on making people question their religion. If we were to successfully clone a human being, could it have the effect of making people question that only their religious Gods are capable of creating human life? What would it say about the religious notion of a human soul, when it was created by scientists in a laboratory?
Actually, this is a good topic that does not have to go as far as a human being, and not as far as cloning.
It occurs to me that at the current exponential progress in microbiology and related fields it is just a matter of time before we can create life, albeit in very simple forms. This would obviously be immensely important for understanding abiogenesis. I know that experiments have been done in which scientists have managed to cause an imitation of earths early atmosphere to create amino acids when given the necessary energy.
What does it make of god, the day when we can create a simple organism in a laboratory, what about the day when we can accelerate the reproduction and mutation and recreate evolution in an artificial ecosystem.
What about the day when we can blueprint a creatures genetics and create it completely artificially in a lab. Although we are far from some of these things, there is nothing that puts a theoretical stop to it, given that development continues, the day will come.
I wrote an article on this very topic for a paper some time ago. Not just creating life per say, but how human technology affects the image of, primarily the god of Abraham.
Half of the miracles of Jesus are really not miracles the day we can replicate it trough very mortal means. We can easily treat sickness, lots more sickness than Jesus ever did. We are just at the present day seeing an explosion in advances of actually giving sight back to people who have been blind since birth. What kind of a divine god is it, if we mere mortals, at the dawn of our youth can accomplish the same thing.
Let the clock spin for another hundred years or more, lets go to the day when we can essentially stop aging. What happens to immortal life in heaven, if you are immortal in this world? (unless you are blown to pieces or something), in which case we can wind the tape even further forward, to the day when we can replicate every single biochemical and electrical impulse in the brain and basically copy a personality and consciousness. You go out and get run over by a truck, the doctors just recreate your brain from a datafile and you are essentially the same person as when the brain scan was taken.
I know religious people hate this, because they fear this. Whenever I argue like this they blow up in my face like an angry beard of bees.
I get the "You are implying that man is god! HERETIC!" The violent reaction is due to a commandment, and its due to fear. Fear of this notion. There is nothing appalling about man acquiring these abilities, such technological power will undoubtedly put great demands on morality and responsibility, but if we can spend the next 100 years developing our philosophy and our morality without ignorance, the future generations of humans will be enlightened enough to view the best rationalists of today as backwards.
The fear, simply comes from the realization that man is quickly matching the supposed creator, and if technological advancement continues, the only barriers that sets limits to what we can do, are the barriers set by the laws of physics. In which case one day the human race (if smart enough to survive its brilliance), will outmatch this supposed creator with ease. Religion knows, that it will die, eventually. If science goes on, religion will not survive.
Its inevitable.
And this is why they seek to dismantle it, this is why the people of the cloth wish us to remain in this society. Because in hundreds of years from now, no level of ignorance will be able to retain the belief in the christian or muslim god.
The only question, is if these people will abandon their superstition now, and help us develop human thinking enough so that we do not kill ourselves with our future technology. Or if they will fight the inevitable and try to unmake our world.
Surely there are other, far better reasons for cloning a human being than merely to add yet another bullet point to the atheist's checklist. Yes, I think it would be interesting to do that and yes the religious implications would als be interesting…but having that be the primary reason seems pretty silly.
I would definitely like to see it done on some level though, just to know we are capable of it from a technological pov. I'd love to see mass production cloning of some vital organs too for transplant patients.
Unbeliever .. Great statements, and I am 100% with you.
I have said it for many years, that we as a society/civilization are being held back by the Faith Based Organizations of our world. Until that either becomes checked, or over we will never prosper in technology.
Well, unfortunately, unsupervised and nonridiculed religionists will just re-fantasize and say that the mystery of the soul resides in the human DNA strand.
Even if we were able to synthesize a DNA-strand from nucleic acids without a matching DNA-template, they would switch and say the mystery lies in either the guanine or cytosine.
The only way to defeat the religionists are to continually, and systematically shame and ridicule them. Make them embarassed over their shoddy belief systems.

Well the moment they try to move their metaphysical claims into the real world they are toast.
The only way the theists are able to defend themselves, however its not really defense its more like putting your fingers in your ears and screaming.
Anyway though, the only way the theists are able to "defend" themselves is to claim that certain entities does not exist in the material world. Like "god" and the "soul". I welcome any attempts they make of finding physical origins for their metaphysical claims in reality because it will only accomplish two things, 1) they will hopefully learn something about the real world while researching it, and 2) they will fail and make themselves look like fools, err bigger fools.

I suppose they do or at least they make the whole photography process a little more involving since you really have to move about a lot more, learning benefits aside they are cheap and useful little lens to have since they are particularly good for portraits and still life images.
Here is a stupidly quick photo I took with a canon 50mm prime lens that I bought for about £50 on ebay.

Yes. You have to buy lens' that are compatible with Canon. (IE: Sigma, Tokina, Canon.) Do your research on lens' before you buy them.

I enjoy using primes, though. It can feel restrictive, at first, especially to a beginner who is trying to photograph anything and everything (I admit it - that was me when I started). Yet once you get the hang of it, it becomes a very interesting experience. Your "photography vision-awareness" shifts to accommodate the lens that you're using, and it's different with each prime.

On a typical consumer DSLR this doesn't actually work quite like that however because of the crop factor. 50mm no longer produces the field of attention equivalent field of view but narrower. With typical DSLR crop factors something like 30-35mm would be more like it.
That being said there's one big advantage to f/1.8 50mm primes. In terms of image quality and low light performance there's absolutely nothing on the market that can even come close to beating them in terms of bang for the buck. You should be able to get a brand new Canon 50mm F/1.8 II for about $100 and for that money it's a deal pretty much impossible to pass. Out of 50mm lenses available for Canon that would be my recommendation.
As for it helping you get better at photography I'd have to agree with Ledgem. It's a tool just as anything else it's restrictions will force you to to think more of what you're doing if you want to end up with a good result and thus it will probably help a bit with becoming more comfortable with planning your compositions ahead. It will also allow far more control of depth of field than your kit lens. At 50mm 18-55mm Canon if I remember correctly has a maximum aperture of F/5 which doesn't really allow to do that apart from very very close focusing distances. So it will open the world of bokeh balls for you. Just don't get lost in there.
But there are really no tricks to improve yourself as a photographer. It's all in the effort you put into it. To actually get better you need just need to go out there looking for something to shoot come hell or high water. There's no substitute to experience and there's only one way to get it. Your equipment what ever it is, is just tools.
Some tools are better than others, some are not necessarily better in absolute terms but better suited for the job and so on. Having to adapt to the tools available is a useful learning experience. Because no matter what kind of gear you have you'll have there's always some of it to do. I've never found myself in a position where I would have had the perfect lens and a camera with me there's always something you'll need to work around of to get the shot you want.
What ever gear you get should be suited for the kind of photography you want to do. While a 35mm or a 50mm are good for general photography, street photography, portraits and so on they're pretty much useless for sports or nature photography. And then again something like 300mm f/4 which is great for nature and sports photography is completely useless for street photography.
So I would recommend getting a 50mm or 35mm it's with a reservation. They're great as long as you know what they're suitable for. If you want to try your hands on nature photography for instance I would recommend not wasting your money on either 35 or 50mm and would recommend going for Canon 55-250mm EF-S instead. It's a rather nice performer for its price. However be warned if you do end up finding that to be a lens that works for what ever photography you do, you'll probably run into it's limitations quite quickly.
I myself shoot almost exclusively on primes. Even though I don't really have large collection of them. I'm a graduate of film age as a photography enthusiast and equipment being a bit too expensive for a budget of a kid of his early teens I had to make do with what I had which was an arcane semi-automatic film camera and a few prime lenses. Seems old habits are hard to kick.
Here's one shot from a recent experimental set I shot. Taken with Olympus PEN E-PL1 and Voigtländer 25mm F/0.95 Nokton. Lit with two candles.

@escimo: How did you stage that to get it to get away with a low shutter speed at that angle?
As for primes, for my purpose - cosplay photography at conventions - the ability to do background blur would be useful because there's often limited opportunities for good backgrounds at convention sites. However, there's a couple issues (aside from costs as I don't actually have an SLR body at the moment so it would get pricy:
1) I tend to like to give my subjects some "space" and hence tend to shoot a lot at 24-36mm equivalent.
2) When I do shoot 50-ish mm, it tends to be in conjunction with wider 24-36mm shots. As a general rule, I wouldn't count on cosplayers to hold the pose while I swap lenses.
3) As mentioned, on most budget SLRs a 50mm prime is actually 75-80mm. It's unusual for me to use focal lengths that long unless I'm shooting down on the subject from a balcony or something like that.
In conjunction they tends to put a bit of a damper on the idea of using a 50 prime for my shoots.

Those are all good, but they ultimately still can't match a "full frame" body with a 50mm f/1.4 for blowing out the background.
I don't think that people talk about the 50mm prime as being important because it's 50mm. The significance of 50mm is that, on 35mm film (or a "full frame" sensor), it has roughly the same angle of view as the human eye. Hence, it's a vision-equivalent lens. Around 35mm for APS-C sensors (the exact number depends on whether it's a Canon or Nikon APS-C sensor), or 25mm for 4/3 sensors, are the same equivalent. It's just easier to keep referring to the 50mm lens, and figure that people will calculate the equivalent for their specific sensor.

It wasn't all that difficult just a bit of creativity with the use of tripod and a table. Tucked two of the legs of the tripod below and placed the figurine on the corner of the table. It was a bit of an awkward setup since the focusing distance is just above 20cm on that shot and there was very little room to play with since a good portion of the setup including parts of the camera and the lens were below the top of the table. Center post of the tripod was resting against the table in fact. Final composition was done by moving the figurine. Actually had to use self timer for the actual exposure since I had to hold both candles that I used for lighting in my hands since I couldn't get them to fit on the tabletop.

Thats a good little tut, I used to do something similar with sheets of white card and a lamp.
Anyway this studio talk put me in the mood to try out something similar.

A white blood cell (WBC) scan is an imaging test that uses a radioactive material(called a tracer) to look for infection or inflammation in the body. It is a type of
Alternative Names
Leukocyte scan
How the test is performed
Blood will be taken from one of your veins. White blood cells are separated from the rest of the blood sample. They are then mixed with a small amount of a radioactive material (
The tagged white blood cells are returned to your body through an inject into the vein2-3 hours later. The tagged cells gather in areas of inflammation or infection.
Your body will be scanned 6-24 hours later.For the scan, you will lie on a table.The scanner looks like an
The scan takes about 1 or 2 hours. The scanner is usually located in a hospital, but often the test can be performed on an outpatient basis.
You do not have to take any special steps after the test is over. Youmay go back to your normal diet, activity, and medicines.
How to prepare for the test
You do not need special preparation for this test.You must sign a consent form.
You will need to wear a hospital gown or looseclothing without metal zippers or snaps.You will need to take off jewelry, dentures, or anything with metal before the scan.
The health care provider may ask that you stop takingantibiotics before this test.
Tell your health care provider if:
- You have had a gallium scan within the previous month.
- You are receiving dialysis, total parenteral nutrition (through an IV), or steroid therapy.
- You have hyperglycemia.
- You are taking long-term antibiotics.
This procedure is NOT recommended if you are pregnant. Tell your health care provider if you are pregnant or trying to become pregnant. Women of childbearing age (before menopause) should use some form of birth control over the course of this procedure.
How the test will feel
You will feela sharp prick from the needle when the blood sample is taken and again when it is returned to your vein. The scan itself is painless. Thethe table that you are asked to lie on may be hard or cold. You do not feel the radioactive material.
Why the test is performed
WBC scanis done to look for ahidden infection. It is particularly useful if your doctor suspects there is an infectionor inflammation in the abdomen or bones.
Your doctor may suggest thistest if you may havean abscess, osteomyelitis, or unexplained fever, particularly after surgery.
Normal Values
A normal result means thattagged cells have not gathered abnormally.
What abnormal results mean
Abnormal results may mean you have an active inflammation or infection, such as a
What the risks are
There is a smallexposure to radiation from the radioisotope. The radiation from these materials is very slight, and the materials break down in a very short time.Nearly all radioactivity is gone within 1 or 2 days. There are no known cases of injury from exposure to radioisotopes. The scanner does not give offany radiation.
Due to theslight radiation exposure, most nuclear scans (including WBC scan) are not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Veins and arteries vary in size so it may be harder to get a blood sample from some people than others.
Other risks small risks fromhaving blood include:
- Too muchbleeding
- Fainting or feeling light-headed
- Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
- Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

A new state-of-the-art fire station is being planned for Valdosta Regional Airport in south Georgia.
Airport officials say the $3 million project is needed to keep the airport competitive. It's one of nine commercial service airports in the state, with three flights per day to Atlanta.
Jim Galloway, the airport's executive director, says the fire station will enhance public safety. Officials say most of the funding comes from the Federal Aviation Administration, with additional money from the state and fees paid by the airport's commercial users.
Construction is set to begin in two weeks and be completed in little over a year.
The airport was built before World War II as an auxiliary landing area to Moody Field. After the war, the federal government transferred the airport to the city.

During Itachi's and Kakashi's Fight
i wanted to ask a question about episode 82 during the fight between kakashi and itachi . Of course it was a one sided fight as we saw. When Gai came to save Kakashi , they told him not to look into itachi's eyes, he said he already knows. He said to defeat kakashi's sharingan he practiced to look on kakashi's legs and predict the movement. IMO this makes no sense at all , we never saw kakashi in the anime making a genjutsu, also sasuke have the sharingan and he never did genjutsu. The only reason u need not to look into their eyes is because u don't wanna be trapped in a genjutsu. When Gai is fighting kakashi even if Gai looked on his legs it won't make a difference since all his movements are taijutsu and the sharingan will copy everything on its own it sees through ninjutsu and genjutsu + it can copy the taijutsu movements as we saw sasuke copying Lee's movements before. IMO this is a mistake Gai shouldn't have known about itachi and shouldn't have practiced that way unless he knew about genjutsu.

I like the question,good notice and I totally agree with you.It was never mentioned before that Kakashi (or Sasuke) use genjutsu so it makes no sense .
The question is why did he have to say that in the first place??He cud've just not looked into Itachi's eyes I think .

i know by avoiding looking in the eyes he will avoid tsukyoumi , but Gai was supposed to belike Asuma and Kurenai who didn't know about that. Also what i'm saying he didn't need to practice this way against kakashi as we never saw Kakashi using genjutsu so why would Gai not look Kakashi into the eyes !!! that is what i'm asking

Kakashi used a genjutsu against Sakura in the bell test. and also used his Sharingan to make some sort of Hypnosis to Zabuza.
Gai needed to say that to explain Asuma and Kurenai what to do in that moment of emergency. and Yes, Gai measure Is mostly to avoid eye contact with a Sharingan user thus avoiding Sharingan Genjutsus abilities.

Even if you had never seen Kakashi use a genjutsu, if Guy says he does it, then he does. That would be sort of like if you said why does everyone say the fourth sealed the kyubii. Everyone says it, but we've never actually seen it. In a show like this what characters say is what makes up what has happened.

(And i am not sure if it was an anime filler but Kakashi used this kind of genjutsu pretty bad on Zabuza.....reading his mind and copying a jutsu which he didnt preform yet...Zabuza was staring at Kakashi's eyes)
Also i think Ameterasu works pretty much like Cyclops his eyelaser. Something like this picture below..

Sharingan does not simply copy jutsu it has its own powers, especially genjutsu, which is why Zabuza feared it so much that he created a mist cloud so that he would not be hypnotized again.
Gai has had several duels with Kakashi, close to 100 even (though some of these were revealed to be matches as silly as rock/paper/scissors).
He would be quite knowledgable of tactics to fight Sharingan as Chiyobu-sama was in the forest.
But it was revealed in that forest battle that Gai's tactic would not have worked anyway as Itachi can cast genjutsu from any part of his body, meaning that he could likely hypnotize you with his toes and then raise your head to eye level to do Tsukiyomi.

Consensus Report
Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Research at NIOSH (2008)Board on Agriculture and Natural Resources
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
The agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors are the cornerstone of industries that produce food, fiber, and biofuel. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts research in order to improve worker safety and health in these sectors. This National Research Council report reviews the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program to evaluate the 1) relevance of its work to improvements in occupational safety and health and 2) the impact of research in reducing workplace illnesses and injuries. The assessment reveals that the program has made meaningful contributions to improving worker safety and health in these fields. To enhance the relevance and impact of its work and fulfill its mission, the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program should provide national leadership, coordination of research, and activities to transfer findings, technologies, and information into practice. The program will also benefit from establishing strategic goals and implementing a comprehensive surveillance system in order to better identify and track worker populations at risk.
Key Messages
- On the basis of the information provided by the AFF Program, remarks provided by stakeholders, and comments submitted by the public, the committee understands that the AFF Program has not fully engaged its stakeholders.
- The AFF Program appears to have had considerable difficulty in applying the principles of and engaging in surveillance.
- The AFF Program targeted specific populations that it deemed at higher risk than others but omitted certain other populations and fell short in defining the entire population of AFF workers at risk of injury and illness.
- The committee concluded that AFF Program activities or outputs are going on and are likely to produce improvements in worker health and safety, and gave the AFF Program an impact score of 3. That score was merited by the fact that the program has made some contributions to worker safety and health, as seen in the success of projects that have affected children, commercial fishermen, and tractor operators.
- The lack of consistent leadership, long-term strategic planning, and periodic review of that course has led to a piecemeal approach to the research program, and the program appears disjointed more often than not.
- The committee assigned the AFF Program a score of 4 for relevance because it found that research has been in high-priority and priority subject areas, and research has resulted in some successful transfer activities.

Introduction by Francis Cebedo
We get a little bit of a different look at this Steve Potts Ti Hardtail. The perspective from the buyer's point of view is represented by Peter Tsang who is a regular forum member (aka "tburger") on Mtbr and also a good friend. Read on to follow Peter's bike building journey and watch our interview of Steve Potts at NAHBS 2012!
Peter is a resident of San Francisco who works in San Jose so he is a tight member of the mtbr riding group. He hangs out in Norcal Forum, drinks fine beer with the gang and he rides at every opportunity. But he crashed a couple of times on his shoulder and it would not heal properly. So had surgery on it and was down for about 6 months. He used this unfortunate turn of events to turn his custom bike dream into a reality. Follow his odyssey into the world of owning a custom bike.
Check this interiew with Peter below. And on the very last page, check the interview with Steve Potts.
By: Peter Tsang
I've been waiting a long time to start this new bike build thread! The planets had aligned, and I was finally able to order that custom dream bike I've been waiting for all my life. Being a NorCal native, and resident still, I quickly narrowed down my list of potential builders. It really became a no-brainer, when all I had to do was drive over the Golden Gate Bridge, and in a short time, be sitting down in the shop of the legendary Steve Potts. I had an awesome visit with Steve back in July, and we chatted about bikes and everything else for about 2 hours. I even played doggie soccer with Cowboy, his Jack Russel, in the shop. Just the visit itself was priceless. But more than that, I just agreed with his philosophy of bike building. Pure and simple. I appreciate and enjoy all of the improvements in cycling with modern technologies, but I'm also a bit of a retrogrouch at times. For example, the Santa Cruz Highball was actually high on my list, but carbon fiber just doesn't move my soul like a custom ti frame. This is going to be one to take to the grave. I have already told my wife to bury me with my Potts.
Okay, so fast foward 5 months, and now my bike build is in the works. During the last 5 months, I found that there is really not that much information (bike p0rn) out there with Steve's more recent creations. A few pictures here and there when the bike is new, but it seems the typical Potts customer is not one to spend much time on the interwebs posting pictures of their pride and joy. Well, I hope to change that with this thread. Rather than posting my build spec and pics of the final product, I thought I'd share my build process with you as I get parts together, and as the frame gets built.
I'm 5'6″ with a 29.25″ inseam. I don't race, and I have a Nomad for bigger hit stuff, so I wanted this bike for all around XC trail riding with intermediate gnar thrown in. I definitely wanted a Type II fork. I knew I would kick myself later if I didn't get this bike with the Type II. I also definitely want a 2×10 geared bike, so no sliding drop-outs, and it needed space to accomodate a front derailleur. I described my riding style to him, and deferred the number crunching and geometry design to him. Here is the preliminary drawing that he came up with.
I debated for a bit whether to have the bike built for me, or do the build myself. Steve works with Mike at Black Mountain Cycles, and I would not hesitate turning the frame over to Mike for a truly professional build. But during the wait, I did a lot of on-line shopping, and I ended up buying pretty much everything I needed. So the motivation hit me full on, and I will be assembling everything myself. Parts have been trickling in from Brown Santa.
Here are the Shimano Deore XT M785 brakes. I chose the 29er compatible silver color.
Everything pictured here weighs in at about 655 grams. That's before the hose gets cut down to size.

The fork of OpenOffice called LibreOffice is going to have its first official release soon. This version is primarily a code cleanup, and so it will not be much different to OpenOffice 3.3, which is also about to be released soon. For the subsequent release of LibrOffice, however, there are proposals starting to emerge which are quite interesting. Tech Drive-in reports on a mock-up of a proposed overhaul of the LibreOffice UI.

Recently I passed my license test and joined a real estate brokerage as a salesperson. One of the rudest awakenings was that agents were encouraged and expected to cold-call expired listings and "fizzbos" (FSBOs or "For Sale By Owner" properties) to get new listings.
I hate cold calling, and I hate the idea of cold calling. Some of that resistance relates to personal issues I need to work on relating to codependency. And the rest has to do with the numbers. Of 100 prospects, 80 of them are predisposed to never initiate a business decision based on a cold call. So you're really trying to find just 20 percent of the people you contact. There has to be a better way to reach these people; and also a better way to market to the reticent 80 percent so that when they're ready, they find you.
I'm looking at some work by the author Frank Rumbauskas to see if there is another way. He claims success.
More importantly, I need to pay attention to systems. I have a lot of pieces, but I don't have them working together.


text: No amount of gorgeous jungle footage can make up for the fact that this Disney-produced documentary feels about as natural as an episode of The Hills, though with (slightly) more feral characters. Narrated by Tim Allen, Chimpanzee gives us a fully smoothed-out story — about an orphan ape named Oscar — populated with chimps so cute and Disney-fied that you half expect them to break out in an Alan Menken song. Stay for the end credits: A mini making-of, showing the filmmakers' battles with bugs and jungle fauna, is more revelatory than anything in the actual movie. B

You might think that a $1 increase in gasoline prices would result in a big boost for the sale of hybrids and electric vehicles. Not so, according to a new report by Experian Automotive.
The Schaumberg, Ill., group says sales of small gas-powered cars would climb quickest, while sales of some hybrids would actually fall during such an increase.
Experian said the results were gleaned in part from a study on the effect of rising fuel prices on various vehicle segments over a five-year period.
The research, Experian said, showed that there was a direct correlation between fluctuations in gas prices and changes in market share for different types of vehicles.

Priests for Life praises the people of Michigan for working to pass the "Pregnant and Parenting Student Services Act."
"This legislation provides a unique system in which pregnant and parenting students will find an environment where they can receive free information and assistance without the pressure to abort," said Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life. "We have long known that getting an abortion is not a matter of freedom of choice, but rather of feeling you have no freedom and no choice.

EEB Collections Facility
This is a brief overview of the administrative structure and a general policy that affects everyone needing specimens from the EEB Collections Facility[1].
Administrative structure (From the bottom up)
The collection is divided into three main components each with its manager:
- Invertebrate collection manager: Jane O'Donnell; full-time
- Vertebrate collection manager: Jamie Fisher, part-time 1 day/week, currently Friday
- Plant collection (incl. paleo collection) manager: Bob Capers; full-time
Collection managers deal with the daily operations and supervise undergraduates. The collection managers are under the supervision of a director who also heads the respective collections committee:
- Invertebrate collection director: Janine Caira
- Vertebrate collection director: Kurt Schwenk
- Plant collection director: Don Les
Each collections committee includes faculty, the manager and a student representative.
The facility is headed by a director (Bernard Goffinet) who meets twice a year with the 3 directors and reports to the Department head.
Access to the collection facility:
The facility is open to anyone who needs to examine specimens; arrangements should be made with the respective managers.
Graduate students (or postdocs, and others) who must access the collections as part of their research must take the course "Introduction to Natural History Collections" which is offered once a year (typically fall, but exceptionally Spring 2007).
Students who take the course can be handed a key to access the collection independently.
TAs for courses that use specimens must take the course. TAs who do not take the course, will not be granted open-independent access, and hence will depend on the collection managers to access the specimens. This rule is strictly enforced, and is designed to maintain the whole facility clean, operational, organized, and hence accessible to everyone.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Andi Soraya Biography :
In 2010, cases of abuse had ever done to a woman named Sri Sukesih in Kemang, South Jakarta area mid 2008 and then finally was decided by the Supreme Court (MA). Andi who continue to take legal action from the High Court until the Supreme Court also must receive a prison sentence of 3 months.
Earlier, during the trial in South Jakarta Religious Court, Andi gets jail sentence for three months. The verdict was much lower than the demands of the public prosecutor (prosecutor) Daulat Napitupulu for 10 months in jail. The defendant then appealed to the Jakarta High Court that ultimately decided three months in jail with six months probation.
Prosecutors are not satisfied with the results then filed an appeal to the Supreme Court who eventually won the South Jakarta District Court to carry out the original verdict of imprisonment for three months.
Andi Soraya was already three times absent from the official summons. Therefore, Andi will be executed by force. Various reasons had proposed to postpone this execution, including the presence of children who are still fosterage, also shooting FTV obligation which still must be done. In fact, Andi Soraya had complained this matter to the National Commission for Child Protection on behalf of the fate of her children during her detention.
Finally, on August 31, 2010, Andi Soraya Attorney executed by the three officers who accompanied the police, who came home in the area of Housing Andi Soraya Puri Cinere, Depok, Bogor, West Java. Before starting to execute, they also have asked for help to the local RT.
There is no coercion in the execution process, as Andi Soraya with resignation drove to the Attorney to sign the files before taken to the Rutan Pondok Bambu.
Andi Soraya own children will be cared for by Steve Emmanuel, the former lover who is also father of her children, as long as Andi behind bars.
In Rutan Pondok Bambu, Andi Soraya placed one cell with Jennifer Dunn, one of the artist who has been serving a sentence for 11 months.
During his detention period, which was represented by his attorney Aya always maintains a PK (judicial review) in order to clean the good name of Andi Soraya.

Does anyone have any info on kiting from the Albany Bulb? Wind conditions, launching/landing? Is the best launch area the beach behind the horse trailer parking lot?
East Bay - Albany Bulb
Information about San Francisco Bay Area kiteboarding locations and guidelines.

East Bay - Albany Bulb
Does anyone have any info on kiting from the Albany Bulb? Wind conditions, launching/landing? Is the best launch area the beach behind the horse trailer parking lot?
Re: East Bay - Albany Bulb
I believe that is known as Racetrack. I don't see an entry in the Location forum for it, but it you search for Racetrack on this site, you'll find some good info.
Re: East Bay - Albany Bulb
Actually, this is one of the few local kiting areas that *doesn't* have much information on the site here. You can find some basics here:
http://www.norcalsurfshop.com/kite/bay- ... bay-bridge
As the racetrack is sometimes recommended as a "stepping stone" to riding at Berkeley, it would be great if someone here could provide the kind of detailed information that is available for Berkeley, Alameda, 3rd, et al.
Re: East Bay - Albany Bulb
I kited here after learning to stay upwind. I liked being able to attach a leash to my bumper and self launch from the parking lot. Dogs and their owners are here and don't understand why you may be less then excited to ward off a canine while keeping your kite in the air as you enter the "toilet bowl."
On light days you need to get out of the bowl and I've seen a few kites end up on the rocks at the north end, by the "bulb" of Albany Bulb. Better to make that turn early, the light wind can get weird over there.
It often blows better than Berkeley/EmeryPoint or Marina Bay, although sometimes it doesn't. When it does blow its a nice place for after work kiters and doesn't have the same "Union Wind" that Berkeley does (meaning it doesn't shut off at 5pm).
For landing you can drop your kite right behind the sand dune onto ice plants, so that's good.
You must be able to stay upwind and you should be confident of your "solo" abilities, since you might be coming in or going out alone. Great view of the squatter condos at the tip of the Bulb. Is that enough Nick?
Re: East Bay - Albany Bulb
You're speaking of one of the many eastbay launches. If you are local you'll get to know it. Every wind year is different and EB is very fickle where the wind blows. But when it does...
Re: East Bay - Albany Bulb
Yes, when I posted that in April of 2010 I was just heading into my second season and was still working on riding upwind. I've progressed a bit since then. But there's still no detailed info on the Racetrack in the "Sites" section so I guess my request is still valid.
On a related note--anyone have updates on the Racetrack/Bulb development project? I believe it was exactly two years ago that some of us attended the meeting in Albany about all the great plans. I stopped by the beach a couple of nights ago just to hang out and enjoy the view, and it doesn't look like anything is changing.
Re: East Bay - Albany Bulb
They had a meeting in late November to certify the final plans, but haven't seen anything since then.

Re: East Bay - Albany Bulb
i launch regularly from the albany beach/racetrack. i love this location, although there are some issues.
the good: i find the wind there steady and strong throughout the summer and early spring. the views are unmatched -- you stare straight out at the golden gate when heading upwind. it's not very popular so you're rarely worrying about space, collisions, etc.. very easy access from I 80 off the buchanan/albany exit or the gilman exit. never an issue parking. the beach and muddy bottom make entrance into the water easy. once outside of the cove, you can make amazing runs between richmond and emeryville. you're essentially smack in the middle of the olympic circle once you're out.
issues: the entrance from the buchanan/albany exit is only open when the racetrack is open. the entrance from gilman is always open. when races are underway, there is a fee to park in front of the beach: $5 from the buchanan/albany entrance and $10 from the gilman entrance. on sundays it's $1.
there are often dogs and kids on the beach so you must be careful with your kite. i've seen a number of kiters launch right off the beach and dive their kites perilously close to people on the shore. not cool or safe. i've seen a few people catch their lines on some tall poles on the beach. i advise body dragging to a safe distance from the beach.
i have seen a few cars with smashed windows, so be careful about leaving valuables in the car. i have a safe in mine for cc, cash, etc. this applies to many sites, however.
launching can be tricky. most people self launch in the parking lot and the wind can be a little squirrely behind the dunes. i use a short line so that if i lose control i'm not yanked into the air -- which i've seen happen. my kite also fell out of the sky and then caught a gust and dragged me across the parking lot once. not fun. so know what you're doing if you launch there.
many people are parking their cars in the middle of the lot to self launch. this irks the racretrack security, as it blocks the routes of the trucks hauling hay. please be aware of where you park and avoid blocking truck paths. no one wants a war with the racetrack, as the parking lot is their property (not the city's -- i checked).

Your work is vital. We are raising funds to support it.
Great start. Now let's update it to 2009, with some changes made. How to transfer licenses, mention LINUX as free software that work on older computers etc etc?
wcookDo the PC Thing is a downloadable guide...
Sorry - I get a file not found error ??
to gracefully decline hardware donations and directs donors to qualified refurbishers and recyclers.
Each year my firm donates several hundred PC's and notebooks to worthwhile NPO's, although we are not a refurbisher or recycler.
We all know that some business seek to dump unwanted junk on NPO's and the advice above is probably sound... although it's also worth noting that many firms donate serviceable (and sometimes new & near-new) computing equipment directly to NPO's in preference to sending it to a refurbisher or recycler to be sold for profit. Plus... Many NPO's that do engage in a relationship with corporate donors find the donor often provides much better long-term support than a refurbisher or recycler... E.g. If one of the schools or service orgs we donate computers to, calls to tell us a computer has a problem... we will usually just replace the machine for them and/or attend their site and fix it - no questions asked. It's in our interests to be a good corporate citizen and look after the NPO's we donate to.

WEST BEND, WISCONSIN – Gehl, a leader in compact equipment for agriculture and construction markets, is pleased to introduce the all-new, vertical-lift V400 Skid Loader; the largest skid loader in the world. The V400 boasts a rated operating capacity of 4,000 lbs. (1814 kg) and a true vertical lift height of 144" (3647 mm). As the king of all skid loaders, this machine reigns over the largest jobs.
The all-new V400 is a true vertical lift machine, which means the lift path follows a vertical line as opposed to an 's' shaped path offered by competitive vertical-lift models. Lifting up to 144" (3647 mm), the V400 can easily load high trailers and trucks. With an unmatched rated operating capacity, there are few jobs this powerful machine cannot handle.
"Gehl is excited to regain the throne as the world's largest skid loader," said Sean Bifani, product manager. "The V400 fulfills the market's demand for a high capacity skid loader. Paired with its high lifting height, the V400 enters the high-end of the skid loader market, where product options are minimal. The V400 provides maximum capacity and the industry's largest breakout force at 9,150 lbs."
The V400 comes equipped with a powerful Cummins diesel engine providing 326 ft-lbs. (442 Nm) of torque and 99 gross horsepower (74 kW). The hydraulic fan with swing-out cooler reduces fuel consumption and noise levels, and provides improved service access. All daily maintenance and service checks can be performed through the large rear engine hood.
When maximum hydraulic power is needed to run demanding attachments, the V400 skid loader is equipped with the tools to get the job done right. High system pressure, with optional high-flow of up to 40.8 gpm (154 L/min), is designed to handle virtually every high-performance attachment. Standard Hydraglide™ ride control allows the lift arm to "float" when transporting loads, minimizing loss of material and offering increased operator comfort.
The new state-of-the-art operator's compartment features unsurpassed ergonomics and superior comfort. The standard level II ROPS/FOPS cab-forward design optimizes the view to the bucket. A side-folding restraint bar with adjustable armrests increases operator safety and comfort. An optional pressurized cab enclosure with sound reduction material and a rear-mounted air filter provides a cleaner and quieter operating environment.
The exciting new Gehl V400 skid loader is now available in the North American, Central American, South American and Mexican markets. To learn more about the Gehl V400 Skid Loader visit the official website at www.gehl.com.
For more information, contact the nearest Gehl Skid Loader dealer, visit the Gehl website at www.gehl.com or call the Gehl literature hotline at 800-628-0491.

Off the top of my head, I would say that these are a must:
- Ability to save and load custom rosters, as well as share them
- Ability to reorder lineups, reactivating injured players in the official roster updates if desired
- Ability to trade players between teams, release them into the free agent pool, and sign free agents
- Ability to edit player bio data and ratings. This includes all ratings/tendencies, jersey numbers, positions, contract information, etc
- Ability to create new players, and fill in detailed bio data/ratings (ie give them full Draft information, all the same ratings/tendencies as original players, etc)
These are things that I'd also like to see, but aren't as pressing, because we can still make good custom rosters without them.
- Ability to use face scanning for created players, not just your Rising Star/LIVE Pro-Am player
- Ability to create custom teams, with a selection of pre-made images, and custom image importing
- Mass editing functionality (eg if you want to lower everyone's speed by 5, you can make a global change)
- If there are any special teams, the ability to edit them as well

There seems to be a constant battle on how video games are affecting the children that are playing them, but the fact is that video games can teach children too. In fact, video games can help to enhance the reading skills of a child, not to mention help build their coordination and visual skills.
In several video games, your child get to become the main character who travels throughout the game purchasing different items needed to complete the video game successfully, while reading special instructions given throughout the video game. Since the child is simply interested in playing the video game they become unaware that they are actually reading and often times the reading is above their regular grade level. You may often hear your child say they do not like to read, but if you will take the time to watch them play particular video games and tell them you can not see the writing that well, then hopefully they will read it to you and you will become fairly surprised.
Video games can even inspire children to new interests as well. In fact, when a child plays a video game that they do not know much about, then you may see your child bringing books home from the school library that are similar to their new video game. When a child is participating in a video game, then children can see history come alive. Each video game that your child plays must be viewed as having a positive side instead of listening to all the hubba of others, because video games can teach your child different skills.
Some video games are designed to teach the skills necessary for making a living as they give the gamer a variety of different choices. Video games also confront gamers with issues such as moral dilemmas, solving challenging problems, and developing social relationships as well. Children who play video games often have the pick up from a cluttered area than those that do not. In fact, studies are now showing that when learning is added into video game playing children begin being faster at the other activities they participate in.
Some where in the future of time teachers may begin incorporating the playing of video games into the assignments of their students. Several government agencies will use computerized video games to assist in stimulating certain types of situations for their employees. In fact, even the military and NASA train with computerized video games, which is due to the changes in computer technology. By looking more at the positive side of video games parents and teacher could really bring themselves closer to children.
Often times children are playing their video games on-line, which makes playing video games much more of a social activity. Children and adults can learn more from each other if they take the time to learn how to play these video games with each other, which will also open up the lines of communication and understanding. Hopefully, more individuals will see video games in a more positive light instead of in a negative way most of the time.

All the Awful Pictures from Justin Bieber's Movie Premiere
Justin Bieber, a Furbie toy given the ability to sing, held the LA premiere for his 3D concert movie Never Say Never last night. The red carpet was even uglier than usual. Let's take a look at all the atrocities unleashed by The Biebz.
Here is Bieber himself. Are those glasses for real or are they a joke like the empty frames he's always sporting? He's flanked by Usher and talent manager Scotter Braun. His name is seriously Scooter Braun? What is he, the villain in an Archie comic? [Image via Getty]
There is so much badness here. First of all P*r*z H!lton is talking to a child. You wouldn't throw you child into a vat of toxic waste, please don't let him hang out with one. And, yes, P*r*z is really wearing a naked Britney Spears T-shirt to a Justin Bieber movie premiere. The only thing worse than wearing the band's shirt to their concert is wearing another band's shirt to the concert. [Image via Getty]
Will Smith wants you to admire his media empire. [Image via Getty]
The only thing worse than the gigantic and obviously fake lips on Leona Lewis' shirt are the matching gigantic and obviously fake lips on her face. [Image via Getty]
Man, Selena Gomez looks good. Like a human Bratz doll, but good. Does that mean we have to start liking her now? That would not be good. [Image via Getty]
Dear Jane Lynch, we currently love you and think you are great, but if you keep bringing your wife and children to crappy Hollywood events, we might have to change your opinion. Love, everyone. [Image via Getty]
Uh oh! Someone let crazy Aunt Heather out of the basement again! [Image via Getty]
Nothing good can come from having will.i.am or any of the Bla'ck E@yed Pea$ at your event. Nothing. Just ask the Super Bowl. [Image via Getty]
We still aren't rid of Whitney Port yet? What do we have to do? Also, this male jockeying up to her is named Ben Nemtin, a combination of sounds that can not be articulated by the human mouth. [Image via Getty]
The saddest part of Miley Cyrus is that she doesn't even know that her outfit is ripping off Stevie Nicks or why that is a bad thing. [Image via Getty]

Hospice of Saint John's closure because of budget sequester (4 letters)
Re: "Lakewood's Hospice of Saint John closing inpatient doors due to cuts," July 3 news story.
As a clinical social worker in the Denver area for more than 25 years, it saddened me to learn of Hospice of Saint John closing. When we are born, there is no expense spared, no love withheld, no limits placed on the comfort we and our loved ones receive. However, when the topic is death, budget earmarks and social uneasiness with the issue itself can place organizations such as Saint John in harm's way.
In my experience working with underinsured and uninsured individuals, Saint John set the standard for all those who followed in regards to providing respectful and humane end-of-life care.
Please support all the hospice care providers throughout our state because they provide an invaluable and irreplaceable role in the fabric of this society.
Thomas Stephansky, Denver
This letter was published in the July 9 edition.
I was saddened to read of the closing of the Hospice of Saint John. My mom spent her final days there 10 years ago. They took her in when the University of Colorado Hospital would no longer care for her. Her caregivers were kind, compassionate and very respectful of her religious traditions. I only hope others in similar circumstances will find as welcoming and caring a place to live out their final days. I also hope those who think sequestration has not had much effect on our lives will think again.
Steve Uretsky, Littleton
This letter was published in the July 9 edition.
How our government officials can sleep at night is beyond me. It's hard to believe they couldn't find the $250,000 Hospice of Saint John's needed elsewhere in the budget. President Obama's trip to Africa cost $100 million; I'm sure some savings could have been found there. Or perhaps the vice president's trip to Arizona could be done via Skype or something like that.
RC Humphrey, Avon
This letter was published in the July 9 edition.
A hospice in Denver has been forced to close because the sequestration has caused a loss of funding that could not be absorbed.
The sequestration was the direct result of Congress' inability or refusal to agree on appropriation cuts that would reduce the federal deficit. Perhaps all members of the House and Senate should step forward and put in some time handling the bed pans and tending to the dying in hospice.
It is about time that members of Congress did something useful.
Lawrence H. Kaufman, Genessee

Remember when the only thing you had to worry about plugging your TV into was the wall? Maybe you don't, but I do. And then we got a rooftop antenna. And then cable. And then receivers and surround sound, laser disks and VCRs. Now it's a rats nest of cables and interconnects back there and they want to add Ethernet? Netgear's Internet Adapter for Home Theater (XAVB5004) is a powerline solution much like the Belkin we reviewed previously except that it amps up the throughput to 500 Mbps and includes both a powerline 4-port router and a powerline AV500 "gigabit" adapter (in this way it also improves upon the 200Mbps XAVB1004 model released last year). The system is designed to deliver flawless HD video streaming and is capable of connecting up to four Internet-ready home theater devices, such as HDTVs, Blu-ray players, IPTVs, TV set-top boxes, media players or game consoles to the Internet – it's even 3D-capable. The kit includes one 1-port adapter to connect to the router and one 4-port adapter to connect to the TV and your various peripherals. The solution's four ports are conveniently color coded for simple setup and the entire system is really plug-in ready from the minute you unbox it.
Netgear has been offering powerline products and routers for years. It only makes sense that they'd have a new powerline solution that brings the two together. The way powerline products work is they use the existing power lines in your home to make a connection. We've seen products that do this for audio signals (for surround speakers), Ethernet, and more. You install one device into your home theater and a second near your router. With the Netgear Internet Adapter for Home Theater, you actually get 4 priority labeled ports for your gear and an AV500 adapter to source the signal from your Internet router. That means that if you want one piece of gear (like a game system or Blu-ray player that you use to stream Netflix) to be allocated the most bandwidth, you install it in port 1. For the most part, however, we find that people rarely use so many Internet connections at once. We do like the four port switch (Belkin only offers 3 at the same price point) as it gives you more ability to integrate additional gear into your system.
Like all Powerline products that we've seen, the Netgear Internet Adapter for Home Theater (XAVB5004) has an encryption system. Netgear is using a 128-bit AES data encryption that can be either set by a push of the button on the units or via included software if you have a computer running Windows Vista. There are also convenient status lights that indicate the data rate you are achieving
We slung the system up to our reference Samsung PN51D8000 plasma display and found the bandwidth to be excellent – even enough to handle streaming 3D television from the Samsung servers – which was incredibly taxing. VUDU also streamed flawlessly at HDX resolution and we were able to send lossless audio from our computer to the television without any issues. Relocating a second unit into our primary home theater system, we found the 4-port hub to be a great feature as it allowed us to connect our Xbox 360, Oppo BDP-93 Blu-ray player, Denon AVR-3312 receiver, and DISH Network ViP 922 set top box to the Internet – all at the same time. Not having to use a separate router for this was terrifically convenient.
