The YAMA(Young Audiences Music Award) has been approved for financial support by the JMI Board in Jan-08 and is a pilot version of an award show that is going to take place on the Internet. We are looking for professional music productions focused on live performances for young audiences.
Every JMI member section is kindly requested to send in a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 productions which differ in style, target/age group and size of ensemble. This difference could be for example in age, largeness of group or different target group. You can decide for yourself where the difference should be in. The film should take 10 to 15 minutes. It has to be a life performance where the audience is shown. This is because then the jury can check if the production is focused on young audiences.
It is very important that we receive a lot of music productions!!
You can decide for yourself how and where to look for the productions. You could for example set up an own award show. You could send in production of JM (Jeunesses Musicales) from your country or you could look for other YA Music Productions.
After all JMI member sections productions have been received, the international jury will choose 5 nominees. The videos will be cut professionally and will be placed on the Internet.
All JMI member sections can and are kindly asked to vote. Each will have 5 votes to give; the favourite receives 5 points, the next 4 points and so on. The winner will be announced in a special ceremony during the JMI AGA in Ankara in September 2008.
The 5 nominees will receive media attention. They will be the YAMA Ambassadors and used as an example for the official version of the YAMA.
After the pilot version we will evaluate the YAMA in October. The working group of Young Audiences will evaluate the JMI member sections through survey; they will present the out coming to the board. If the board finds the pilot version successful the official version will follow.
Schedule for the YAMA pilot 2008
14 April
JMI members across the world are expected to identify high quality young audience productions, collect concert videos (VHS/DVD format). The JMI members may decide to make a national selection of the best recordings OR to
send them on (max. 5 entries/country).
All videos, together with a target group description, should arrive to the YAMA office
15 June 2008
15 June-01 July 2008
The YAMA Jury selects 5 nominees from received entries
01 July 2008
Edited versions of the 5 nominated productions are available on the dedicated website. JMI members can start cast their votes
01 September 2008
05 September 2008
YAMA Prize-winning ceremony and announcement of prize-winner in Ankara, Turkey, as part of the JMI AGA. Live web-cast on dedicated website
October 2008
The Young Audiences Working Group will evaluate the YAMA. They will present the out comings to the board. The board will decide whether the YAMA has a future
So look for professional and excellent music productions focusing on young audiences and families! It is very important that music productions for young audiences receive media attention; normally they do their important work in a complete media shadow. This way young people can broaden their knowledge and other music productions will be stimulated!
Objectives of the YAMA
To promote professional Live Music productions dedicated for young audiences and families
Attract media attention for their active promotion
Emphasize the important work they do for new generations of music-lovers; consumers, concert-goers and musicians
To promote the nominees and the winner
Encouraging other musicians and music productions to present themselves towards young audiences and families
Why is YAMA important – and why should YOU participate?
Jeunesses Musicales International is the world's leading network for providing children and young people with live music experiences, which may positively affect them for the rest of their lives.
There is no or very limited interest from the media to cover such pursuits. YAMA can help change this perception and thereby promote this work towards local, national and international media.
YAMA intends also to create awareness of the importance of young audience concerts among musicians and ensembles at large – thereby inspiring more young audience and family productions on the highest artistic levels
This can only be done with YOUR dedicated and active assistance and cooperation!
The 5 nominee's videos will be presented on a dedicated website together with information on each group. The JMI members will be invited to cast their vote. The winning production will be presented during the JMI AGA in Ankara, Turkey. The winning production team will receive a cash prize of € 2.000 to invest in future productions. The YAMA and its winner will be actively promoted to national and international media.
The video recordings should contain a target group description and an explanation of the production. The videos + information should be send in VHS/DVD format to:

Discussion in 'HYBRID -> EG-EK / DC' started by khan, Nov 5, 2002.
ive heard from a friend of mine that short shifters are not good for transmitions. is this true?
the reasoning behind this is that the shifter is longer on the bottom, resulting in a shorter throw up top for you, but at the same time- it changes the angle at which the linkage pushes the gear changer thingee
Frankly, i think its bs, and don't really care-
I've been using one for about 2 years now....

The Lelo Lily Changed My Life
I mean that with all my heart. I'm not usually a woman who wears her heart on her sleeve but I can get away with telling you all about this because I don't know you; well, one of you does (if you're reading this). The story goes back a few months to when I met my new boyfriend. I tell you he was my "boy" friend because he is quite literally just a boy to me. I am 52 years old and he is 25! I know, I am lucky aren't I?
Tom (that's my toy boy) introduced me to sex toys for the first time a few months ago, virtually when I met him. He picked me up in a bar on an evening when I was feeling particularly loose and cheap. Me and a couple of my friends had decided to go out trying to recapture our youth, and maybe some sex life (although we weren't holding our breath). Tom was in the bar, and he wasted no time in flirting with me. I remember thinking at the time that this boy must be pretty confident approaching three middle aged women who had clearly had one too many drinks, and to be honest it really turned me on. By the end of the night we were chatting like old friends, and we'd been getting on so well I hadn't even noticed my own friends had gone; I think they were a bit put out that they weren't getting as much attention as I was!
It was then that Tom started to tell me about his online business, selling sex toys. I couldn't believe my ears at first, but I was certainly intrigued. He said it was the best job he'd ever had and that he knew all about how women "crave to have the orgasms they deserve" and other such stuff, and he handed me the Lelo Lily vibrator. Well it's lucky that the Lilly isn't a huge great big thing the size of a table leg or I'd have felt like a real idiot holding it right there in the middle of the bar, but as it happens the Lilly isn't very big at all. It sat very nicely in the palm of my hand like a little pet, and it felt very nice to touch. I'm not very experienced when it comes to sex toys, but even I could tell that it was shaped perfectly to stimulate my clit and labia.
It looked so neat that I just wanted to get home and try it out. But then, to my surprise Tom told me to put it into my panties right there and then while we were sitting in the bar. He told me it was a clit vibe and it would make me orgasm like never before.
Well because my inhibitions were considerably lower than would usually be I did it of course. I looked Tom straight in the eyes and stuck my hand down the waistband of my jeans and popped it into my panties, just parting my lips a little to make it sit nice and snug. I could already feel it pressing on my clit and it felt fantastic. I was getting feelings in my lower body that I hadn't had since the last time I stood with myself pressed hard against the washing machine on spin cycle. Now, when I turned it on it was like something else entirely and not at all what I'd have expected from something so small and innocent looking. The Lelo Lily had a surprising amount of power for something so small, and its variable vibration speed allowed me to progress to my climax incrementally! I really can't get over how much this tiny vibe shocked me.
Sitting in one of those booths at the side of a bar certainly has its advantages, but I never thought I would take advantage of it in this way. Orgasm I certainly did – twice! That was the first time I'd climaxed like that in 30 years! The second time I came I turned up the vibrations and had to control the rest of my body shaking with the intense pleasure I was getting from this little Lelo Lilly. I looked Tom straight in the eye and my cheeks turned the brightest shade of red, brighter than anything I've had in my make-up box in the last 20 years. Tom was clearly enjoying himself just watching me getting off on the Lelo Lilly in my panties, and when I looked at him a little longer I realised that he too was shaking a little; the devil was playing with himself under the table!
Well, I had to help in out with that didn't i? I couldn't just leave the young man fiddling with his cock under the table so I reached under and did it for him while the Lelo Lilly sat there vibrating away in my panties. I had to stop after the second orgasm because my legs actually started to feel like they too were having an orgasm! I was tingling all over the place.
I still have my Lelo Lilly by the bed, and luckily Tom gave me the charger for it before we decided not to see any more of each other. I'm not sad though because I have my Lilly, and this little friend of mine has a lot more life in it than a man (up to seven hours of life to be exact) and it doesn't even cost me any money in batteries!

'New measures aim at regulating, not limiting media coverage'
By Raed Omari - Feb 12,2018 - Last updated at Feb 12,2018
AMMAN – Lower House Speaker Atef Tarawneh told the Jordan Press Association (JPA) on Monday that the recently announced measures aim at regulating and not limiting journalists' coverage of the Chamber's sessions.
JPA President Rakan Saaideh said that he received assurances from Tarawneh that no limitations are to be imposed on reporters covering the House's sessions and activities as per the new regulations announced on Sunday.
"Tarawneh voiced keenness on safeguarding press freedoms," Saaideh told The Jordan Times.
The House announced on Sunday that media coverage of the sessions will only be from the reporters' room, up in the gallery, under the new instructions under which photojournalists can stay up to five minutes under the Dome after a session begins to take photos.
Reporters' presence under the Dome, in the corridors and in meeting rooms is now prohibited under the new instructions.
Saaideh also said that he received assurances from Tarawneh that no soundproof glass wall will be installed in the reporters' room in the gallery.
In its Sunday's announcement, the House said that a soundproof glass wall is to be installed around the public gallery overlooking the debating chamber.
"Tarawneh said that the gallery will be lifted up a bit to decrease the noise attendees produce during sessions," Saaideh said.
Saaideh also said that he agreed with Tarawneh to always maintain coordination on issues related to reporters' coverage of the House's sessions and events.

Symphony 2013
14.7% Alc. This aromatic varietal, a cross between Grenache Gris and Muscat of Alexandria, is a single vineyard high-altitude desert grown wine, aged 11 months in stainless steel. Started with wild yeasts, finishing bone dry with cultured yeasts; super fragrant with pronounced orange marmalade characteristics. This is an impressive sipper, but will pair beautifully with Thai or intense Asian food, or try with my Argentinian mother-in-law's garlicky marinated Cuban roast pork.
Serve chilled. 152 cases.

Probably the highlight of my week was hosting a Murder Mystery party. We did the same one (Way out West) that we did with your family, but this time BJ and I were the bartenders. I put way too much time and effort into decorating, but I surprisingly didn't stress about it at all. Plus, I think the atmosphere was pretty dang awesome because of it. I invented a logo for the Silver Dollar saloon, then put it on a sign for the door, on aprons for BJ and I, and even made stationery for people to take notes on if they wanted. I divvied out the food to everyone else (making my life way easier), and one gal brought cans of soda, wrapped in paper with our logo on it. We also took down most of our pictures/paintings and replaced them with black and white photos and tin types (all framed in old barn wood). And I borrowed a couple of old cameras as decoration as well.
Our guests were fantastic with their costumes, and really got into their parts. It was hilarious being on the bartender end of things. We had our entire main floor open, but everyone stuck to the kitchen and family room area (even though we had 18 people in there!), which made it far easier for us to walk around, listening to what people were saying, laughing at how people chose to make friends/enemies, and perform our bartender duties. I definitely want to do more of these. So. Much. Fun.
And... let's throw things up a little and put kiddisms in the middle today.
Me: What do wolves say?
Abby: They don't say anything! They talk!
Kessa's dinner prayer: Help our food to be blessed. Help our family to be strong. Help our family to be safe while we eat. And while we sleep for lots of days.
Abby: My teeth don't know they're surprised.
BJ: Let's face it, Bellatrix was no Hufflepuff.
Abby, telling me that there were monsters where I was: It's OK. They are bad, but they won't hurt nice.
Sunday I was out in the garden and Kessa asked when we could pick carrots in a certain bed. I told her she could pick one right then. (She likes to pick them and eat them. I'm not going to complain.) She tried to, but it didn't take long before she told me she couldn't, because all the leaves were hooked to one spot. Now, there were a *lot* of leaves in that box, so I was rather skeptical. I went over anyway and soon found out that she was very right. (BJ points out that he has told me before that there was only one giant carrot in that box, but I have so completely ignored my garden this year that I apparently forgot.)
Resa. This carrot is gigantic. Ridiculously gigantic. After we cut off the leaves we weighed it. It was 4.2 pounds! BJ wants to put it on our front porch with our pumpkins. But the girls keep breaking off legs and snacking on them, so we'll see if it ever makes it out there. :)
Peter learned how to walk while pushing a little toy car on Sunday. He's been walking while holding fingers for awhile now, so this shouldn't be surprising. Honestly, I hadn't even considered trying him on it. Neither of our girls ever wanted to walk with it, so I've just dismissed it as a walking toy. But a neighbor's boy just learned to walk while pushing theirs, so I decided to try it, and man, he's taken to it like a duck to water. He can zoom around the house with it.
Also about Peter, I think his first word is officially "banana".
We had parent teacher conference with Kessa's teacher this week. As expected, she's doing great. What I wasn't expecting was one of the schoolwork papers that was given back to us. Resa! What am I supposed to do with this?! Kessa is not boy crazy!
She is also getting a lot better at roller skating.
And... apparently I didn't get any pictures of Abby this week. But I suppose she dominates the kiddism section, so oh well? I did get a video of her telling a story tonight. If I have time, I'll transcribe it and send it to you separately. She's hysterical.
Love and hugs,
~ Tianna and Co.

House of Coates (second edition). By Brad Zellar with photos by Lester B. Morrison. Designed by Hans Seeger. Little Brown Mushroom Books, 2012. 118pp., illustrated throughout, 6,75x8,75". Edition of 1000 copies.
Book description:
"In 'House of Coates', writer Brad Zellar pieces together the story of legendary recluse Lester B. Morrison.
Working from a handful of encounters and contradictory conversations, a sketchy paper trail and often confounding interviews with individuals who may or may not have been 'associates' of Morrison (including Morrison's former collaborator Alec Soth), Zellar attempts to reconstruct one episode from Morrison's decidedly episodic life.
In the winter of 2011, Zellar finally crossed paths with his evasive subject, and was - with Morrison's permission - granted access to the results of an MMPI (Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory) test that Morrison submitted to in August of 2009, along with the administrating psychiatrist's copious notes. Finally, in late December of last year, Zellar received in the mail a duct-taped shoebox - marked 'PERISHABLE' - containing almost two hundred photographs that Morrison termed 'disposable documents of the approximate period in question'.
From these raw materials designer Hans Seeger has assembled a book that Morrison himself has pronounced, 'Probably close enough to what might or might not have happened, and that's as much as I've learned to expect from the so-called 'real world' '."

Cooler Temps Ahead for IRL Race
Fans come first at Kansas Speedway. Kansas Speedway officials have moved its IRL IndyCar Series and NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series weekend to April 28-29 for the 2007 season. The change comes following an extensive survey with race fans who annually visit "The Track That Will Blow You Away!" Some 70 percent of those polled found that speedway ticketholders prefer moving the race date to a month with cooler temperatures. The IndyCar Series weekend has been held in July for the past six years and has become synonymous with uncomfortably hot temperatures.
"Our race fans come first," speedway President Jeff Boerger said. "They've really stuck with us over the past six years because that's how exciting the IRL racing is. But moving this race weekend to the springtime will make the weekend even more spectacular. It will be cooler for fans, the drivers, the media and the staff."
The IndyCar Series will race on Sunday, April 29. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series will serve as a companion event to the IndyCar race on Saturday, April 28. The two events comprise part of Kansas Speedway's RPM Season, which also includes the NASCAR Busch Series on Sept. 29 and the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series on Sept. 30.
"We're excited to make this date change announcement in conjunction with Kansas Speedway and pleased to assist Jeff Boerger and his staff respond to its fan base's desire for a race date offering cooler temperatures," IRL President Brian Barnhart said. "Putting Kansas Speedway on the schedule right before the Indianapolis 500 allows an already successful event to grow even more in stature while offering the IndyCar Series a great platform heading in to the month of May."
The new, cooler race weekend in April makes Kansas Speedway's IndyCar race the lead-in event to the famed and historic Indianapolis 500.
"This date change solidifies Kansas Speedway's IRL race as the most prestigious IndyCar Series event outside of the Indianapolis 500. It also strengthens our commitment to the race fans that support us," Boerger said.
Kansas Speedway's complete schedule for 2007 includes:
Friday, April
27 Kansas Speedway Qualifying Day
Friday, April 27 ARCA RE/MAX Series Kansas Lottery $150 Grand
Saturday, April 28 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series O'Reilly Auto Parts 250 *
Sunday, April 29 IRL IndyCar Series Kansas Lottery Indy 300 *
Friday, Sept. 28 O'Reilly Auto Parts Qualifying Day
Saturday, Sept. 29 NASCAR Busch Series Yellow 300 *
Sunday, Sept. 30 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series Kansas 400
* * These events comprise Kansas Speedway's 2007 RPM Ticket.
Advance tickets for 2007 may be purchased by calling Kansas Speedway at 913.328.RACE or toll free at 866.460.RACE. Advance tickets require a 50 percent per-seat deposit at the time tickets are requested. The balance will be applied toward the seat purchase when seats are assigned. For more information about Kansas Speedway, log onto the speedway's official Web site at www.kansasspeedway.com.

Both have been going through decades of evolution – whether regulatory in nature: the legal push for regional governance and cooperation in the power management sector, or the requirement for sufficient disaster recovery and business continuance in IT… or the more organic evolution of increasingly distributed control centers, ever increasing complexity, and an exponential growth in monitoring data… both have become an exercise in 'big data analytics' in the critical need for 'answers, not just data'.
Modern 'energy management systems' (EMS) and the associated 'market management systems' (MMS) have become central to the delivery of consistent and reliable power resources at the best possible economics. Modern IT infrastructure performance management systems are central to the delivery of consistent and highly performant compute, network and storage resources at the optimal economic investment for the resources required.
This is likely why leading edge power management organizations are using Virtual Instruments industry leading App-centric IPM solutions to guarantee the performance and availability of the IT infrastructure that underpins their ability to deliver optimal EMS and MMS capabilities to the market.
Data-intensive energy management systems (EMS) and market management systems are driving up storage requirements for energy delivery operations. With limited visibility into storage I/O performance, energy IT managers face a significant challenge maintaining the performance and availability of EMS systems and applications from providers such as Hitachi, Siemens, Schneider Electric and many others.
Virtual Instruments is helping top energy delivery companies address these issues with VirtualWisdom and Load DynamiX Enterprise. These award-winning infrastructure performance analytics solutions monitor, measure, test, and analyze physical and virtual data center environments (servers, networks, NAS, SANs and storage).
Every day, energy delivery organizations use VirtualWisdom to guarantee performance and availability of their critical infrastructure and applications and align performance requirements to deployment decisions. Here are some of the benefits they realize:
Figure 1: Energy IT manageability is eased with VirtualWisdom across complex data information models
VirtualWisdom's ability to monitor, report, trend and diagnose performance and availability issues from the application level to the storage arrays in a reliable and scalable way is essential for energy IT managers responsible for the infrastructure that maintains workflow, access to energy data and the overall delivery of power sources to customers.

I have found myself marveling this week at the small parade of gay-outings among U.S. politicians. Like previous media outings of closeted politicians, these expose men who have often built their reputations and careers on their passion for family values and their antipathy to anything that smacks of the gay tolerance agenda. U.S. media has long delighted in the travails of powerful but troubled men, who have despite their obvious conflicts somehow managed to acquire U.S. political leadership roles, and now are essentially working through their own problems with sexual identity in sometimes professionally disastrous public spectacles.
As a heterosexual Catholic, I have grown into adulthood during a period when our society's hostility to gay and lesbian people transformed into first a somewhat awkward tolerance to the sometimes ambivalent acceptance maintained for the most part today. I feel lately, however, that I am witnessing a regression in that process of acceptance, and I think it is at least partly fueled by the unhealthy acting out exhibited by the nation's closeted politicians.
I understand that for many people it can be a struggle to come to terms with personal sexuality, and it's sad to see the self-destructive manner of the unintended (I guess Freud might have something to say about that) self-outings of some prominent men in political life. How much better for them and for us if they could have resolved their personal struggles privately without arrests in public bathrooms or after pursuits of congressional pages or joining the mug-shot slideshow of DWI- or disorderly conduct arrests outside of gay bars, etc. But while I have some sympathy for the personal anguish and the family devastation I'm witnessing, I have to add that I find myself ultimately a bit infuriated by these men. How much damage, I wonder, has their rhetoric, powered by their own self-denial, done to U.S. civic life? How much damage have the policies they pursued in futile efforts to hide from the reality of their own lives done to the body politic?
The catechism instructs that individuals with a homosexual "inclination," which it describe as "objectively disordered" "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided." I note the increasing temper of the hierarchy's response to gay and lesbians in recent years as it seems to have neatly replicated the tone of U.S. political culture after a period during which the church addressed its gay and lesbian children with a little more tenderness and affection. Has the hierarchy, following the lead of U.S. politicians, ratcheted up the voltage on gays and lesbians because it's a "cultural winner?" Is the hierarchy overreaching in its response to gay and lesbians as cover for its poor performance on the sexual abuse of children by members of the U.S. clergy?
In the many sociological studies of U.S. clergy the number of men who have identified themselves or have been identified by researchers as gay ranges anywhere between 30 to 48 percent. Is it possible that similar percentages do not pertain to the highest levels of our church? Is it possible that the attitudes toward gay and lesbian people and church policies related to them are distorted in a similar manner as the policies supported by America's closeted gay politicians?
Sickeningly familiar revelations of sexual abuse are now roiling Europe just as they did America a few years ago. This week, because of the unfolding abuse crisis in Europe, several notable voices called for a hard institutional self-examination: "Enough" says Cardinal Kasper; L'Osservatore Romano publishes an article calling for women in leadership roles; Vienna's Cardinal Christoph Schonborn calls for an "unflinching examination" of causes of the scandal, including "the question of priest celibacy and the question of personality development"; and Father Hans Kung flatly states, "Compulsory celibacy is the principal reason for today's catastrophic shortage of priests, for the fatal neglect of eucharistic celebration, and for the tragic breakdown of personal pastoral ministry in many places."
Despite such exhortations, if the hierarchy in Europe follows the U.S. model, there will be an effort soon to blame the problem on homosexuality and efforts will be made to weed out men with "deeply rooted" gay tendencies (as opposed to "transitory," I kid you not) from the seminaries and the priesthood—a crusade against ourselves of course and an offense to the gay clergy who are living their ministries in service to the People of God with loyalty to the church and in fidelity to their vows.
Whatever becomes of mandatory priestly celibacy and however the church extricates itself from this latest sexual abuse crisis, the church needs to find a way to install, not just women, but married men and mothers and fathers in leadership roles to protect the health and wholeness of the institution. That is one overdue measure to help ensure that the positions the church takes and the policies she promotes and maintains for herself are not originating in a place where one person's crisis of self-awareness and identity intrudes on the integrity and mercy of our expression of faith and the mission of the church.
Kevin Clarke
I think a case is easily made that the most damage done to both people and institutions is made by the so called 'transitory tendencies' people. And that group is to be given slack by the church? If so then once again the stupid are in charge.
It's the 'transitories' who disgrace the Church, their political partys and most of all they reek havoc when married and they tell their wife and children they are 'leaving to find themselves' in middle age.And the Church has room for these 'transitories'in the priesthood?
Too many counselors and confessors have tried to patch up the damage by these 'transitories'.
... We believe that all institutions, including schools, businesses, hospitals and churches, have a natural tendency to hide mistakes to avoid embarrassment or liability. This natural tendency needs to be countered by open decision making and outside oversight. Openness and accountability help the Church become healthier and more just. We will ask our leaders to listen to the people of God as well as their lawyers and insurers when they have to make hard decisions.
We support and claim our ministry through baptism in our parish, in the diocese, and in the universal Church. Just as we have a Community Council of lay members and our pastor at Pax Christi, we call for more elected lay representatives to participate in diocesan decision making, including reviews of finances and personnel policies, particularly concerning seminary admissions and training.
We call for greater accountability of Church leaders. The performance of the pastor at Pax Christi is reviewed annually by the Community Council; this review is unique among parishes. We believe that annual reviews strengthen the bond between pastor and people. We encourage these reviews in other parishes and Catholic institutions.
We support an independent editorial board for the Catholic Spirit (diocesan)newspaper, to encourage more open news coverage of parishes and of the Archdiocese.
We urge more understanding of our history. There are precedents from the first millennium of our Church for married priests and leadership from both men and women. At Pax Christi, we advocate broadening our understanding of priestly vocation to include all the baptized, along with broader eligibility for ordination.
Our culture, including our Church, would benefit from a broad discussion about sexuality.
We need to reflect on the charism of celibacy.
There is no intrinsic link between priesthood and celibacy.
Always Our Children, the pastoral letter from the U.S. bishops addressed to parents of gay and lesbian children, calls for an open, welcoming stance towards all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation.
Our culture is obsessed with pornography and sexual deviancy.
We support a national clearinghouse for information on seminary candidates rejected for criminal or psychological reasons.
We support continued ecumenical dialogue so that we benefit from the experiences of other churches, synagogues, and religious centers. ...
The current pastor and council at Pax Christi would probably disavow some of these practices and recommendations today, so at this point I offer them only as a personal opinion, not reflecting the views of any other institution. The news from Europe makes the need for them in the wider Church all the more urgent.
The Ryan and Murphy reports in Ireland have prompted other countries to take a closer look at their own histories, and governments are becoming more agressive in demanding accountability. Lay people in Ireland especially are starting to demand participation in the selection and supervision of clergy, including bishops, and even senior clerics are starting to ask hard questions about urgent reforms.
For years, discussion of celibacy and the place of women in the church was taboo. Thankfully, open debate has now begun. once started, it will not stop until the reforms are finally in place

Carl Zimmer has an excellent piece in Sunday's NYTimes on Junk DNA, which I have learned is an unacceptable term in some circles, particularly to some of our most favorite NIH directors.
I would say, in terms of junk DNA, we don't use that term any more 'cause I think it was pretty much a case of hubris to imagine that we could dispense with any part of the genome as if we knew enough to say it wasn't functional. There will be parts of the genome that are just, you know, random collections of repeats, like Alu's, but most of the genome that we used to think was there for spacer turns out to be doing stuff and most of that stuff is about regulation and that's where the epigenome gets involved, and is teaching us a lot.- Francis Collins
Zimmer talks to a number of scientists who present some pretty convincing evidence about the lack of correlation between genome size and biological complexity, including the plant with the biggest genome. The article presents the tension between those, like T. Ryan Gregory from University of Guelph (one of the stars of Zimmer's article) who see lots of junk, and those, such as John Rinn, who are busy looking for things that non-coding DNA do.
As background for the current dispute, Zimmer goes back to Gould and Lewontin and their view of evolutionary mechanisms. Gould in particular, was frequently represented as "not believing in natural selection" because he believed that it wasn't all of evolution. What Gould (read closely) was saying was that of course, natural selection worked, but it, and evolution didn't make perfection. Exaptation, in his paper with Elizabeth Vrba, succinctly points out that selection often works with what already exists when a new structure evolves. Examples include skull sutures which make significant brain growth possible in mammals exist as joints in ectotherms that have neither large brains nor live birth. The Panglossian concept of perfection, as generated by natural selection, is something that has been argued about for years. The debates about junk DNA are just its current incarnation.
What fascinates me are the folks who object to the concept of junk DNA. Zimmer points out that even if John Rinn finds that "junk genes" have an important purpose, its much more like looking for gold in the sand on the beach. He quotes Alex Palazzo from University of Toronto: "probably what you found is a little bit of noise." Zimmer, at the end of the article, comes down firmly on the side of some DNA being junk, and in fact not "a sign of evolution's failure. It is, instead, evidence of its slow and slovenly triumph". As Zimmer implies, part of this defense of the Human Genome Project, but perhaps there is more going on.
The idea that there is junk, or waste, or nonsense in nature is tough for some people. They may or may not be overtly or classically religious, but slovenly nature, to use Zimmer's word, is an anathema to them. Many people who are in awe of nature, be it towering redwoods, or the intricate dance of genes, find stuff that doesn't serve a purpose, well, unsettling. The explanations of the accumulation of junk DNA, just like the accumulations of non-functional bits of anatomy, just happens. Zimmer, as Steve Gould famously did every year, goes back to Darwin for defense of both other forces of evolution beyond natural selection. What is tough is when the data, be it in the natural world, one's laboratory or genome, don't conform to one's preconceptions of the world.

Wait, did you just blame the Kochs for Shiller and neuroeconomics?

Book Description:
When life gives you a blank canvas, make art.
Sloane Whitaker hates everything about moving to Texas. She hates leaving behind her friends and half her family in New York, starting over senior year at Austin's NextGen Academy, and having to say she lives in Texas. Most of all, she hates that it's all her fault. If she wants to earn her way back to the Big Apple, she has to prove she can still be the perfect daughter.
Which means no vandalism art, no trouble at school, and absolutely no Tru Dorsey, her serial screw-up neighbor, who loves nothing more than pushing her buttons.
But from the moment he vaults onto the roof outside her bedroom, there is something about him that makes her want to break every rule. Suddenly it' s not the ten things she hates about Tru that are at the top of her list. It's the ten reasons she doesn't want to be without him.
The sky is an unfamiliar shade of midnight, the kind of dark blue you see in pictures and paintings but almost never in Manhattan. My city always has a kind of glow. Easter-egg colored, like a protective bubble of light. This darkness is too vast, too unending.
But at least out here I can breathe.
Inside, with the house too full of boxes and too empty of people, with Mom at the kitchen table, finishing the paperwork to enroll me at Austin NextGen Academy in the morning, telling me how much I am going to love this new place, I was suffocating. My heart rate sped up, and I started to see spots at the edges of my vision.
Rather than pass out on the kitchen floor, I fled to my room and out into the night.
Everything is wrong here. Not just the quiet and the dark. My whole world is missing. No Dad, no Dylan, no Tash or Brice. None of the friends I've gone to school with for the last three years.
Starting over senior year is bad enough, but to do it halfway across the country and with no friends and only half my family? That's torture.
And the worst part is that it's all my own fault.

I was intrigued by Maryann's concoction made with the heart of Bon Temp's local Hoodoo woman and fed to Tara and Eggs. They got real cray-cray after eating it and started simultaneously making out and beating one another. The power of food!
Could I veganize this? I wondered. I went over several vegetable combinations in my head and kept coming back to the good ol' beet. I gagged a little. For the record, I HATE beets. So I did some homework and researched flavors that go well with beets. I do enjoy oranges, and we all know sweet and savory flavors can do magical things. I crossed my fingers and hoped that it would work.
I used Kittee's pie crust recipe from Papa Tofu, which I believe is out of print--but you can go to pakupaku and click on the whole wheat pie crust recipe and write her to tell her how awesome she is. She'd like that.
I used my 50k spent in art school to sculpt that tiny crude heart. My ceramics prof would be disappointed. "Jennifer, didn't you learn anything from me?" She would say.
She'd take back those words after one bite. It totally worked! Holy Shit! I have found a way to enjoy beets.
My colleagues both omni and vegetarian loved it. So much in fact, Weebo the WonderOmni asked me the next day if I brought more and kept singing "She's my Hunter's Pie" to the tune of Warrant.
Maryann's Hunter Pie
Step 0, make the pie crust-(double batch) according to Kittee's directions. Make one crust and set the other roll of dough to the side.
Step one, the orgy of veggies and protein:
- 1/4 c. chopped onion
- 1 carrot-(get a purple one if you can!)
- 1 t. thyme
- 1/2 t. celery flakes
- turns of black pepper
- 1/2 t. salt
- 3-4 dry sage leaves, crumbled
- Saute this mixture in olive oil
after veggies are browned, add 1/4 c. red kidney beans and 2 c chopped seitan. Once that has browned even more, add 1 c. cubed cooked squash-( I used a mixture of butternut and patty pan)
Step Two, The Heart:
- 1 can of beets, draining the juice and setting aside
Step Three, The Blood:
- 1/2 c. chopped red pepper
- beet juice
- 2 T. cornstarch
- 1 t. red food coloring-(optional, but it will get you a deeper red color)
- 1/3 c. blood orange juice
- 1 T pom juice
Assembling the Maenad marriage:
Put veggie and protein orgy in the cooked and cooled pie shell. Pour the red puree over the mixture and top with the raw second pie crust. I made fancy lattice work with a mini heart, but you can do whatever the hell you want.
Bake at 350 for 40 minutes and allow to cool for about 15-20.
Goes great with a nice green salad of arugula, toasted walnuts, and a simple vinaigrette dressing.

Riya Sen Ashmit Patel MMS Scandal
Reportedly, this MMS video showed Riya Sen kissing Ashmit Patel and then some steamy scenes followed later turns into a heater conversation. Riya Sen and Ashmit Patel were dating each other for a longtime but the matter became worse when Ashmit found that Riya was cheating on him. Later, it is said that Ashmit might have released the video of their private moment on the web to take revenge from the actress starting this Riya Sen Ashmit Patel MMS Scandal that shot the actress to fame and popularity.
Riya Sen MMS Clip
Sexy and talented actress Riya Sen started modeling and contributing to art at the age of just 16 years. Since then she has appeared in music videos, television commercial, fashion shows and magazine covers. Riya has worked as an activist, and has appeared in an AIDS awareness music video with the aim of dispelling popular myths about the disease. She helped raise funds for pediatric eye-care. Riya has faced controversies such as love making MMS clip with actor Ashmit Patel, her sexy controversial photograph on photographer Dabboo Ratnani's annual calendar and her on-screen kisses in a conservative Indian film industry.
Riya Sen and Ashmit Patel's relationship got bitter when he found out that Riya was cheating on him. In a fit of fury, he allegedly circulated the MMS clip, which shows them kissing and indulging in foreplay. Riya Sen has not acted in any Bollywood actress blue film so far and there is no need for her to do so. Riya did National Film Awards winning director Bharathiraja's Tamil film, Taj Mahal released in year 2000.
Riya Sen has gained attention for wearing a bikini in Shaadi No. 1 and sharing on-screen kisses with co-stars Ashmit Patel in Silsiilay and Sharman Joshi in Style, respectively. Riya's public persona is compared to her mother Moon Moon, who was seen as a sex symbol of her time. Riya was ranked ninth on Femina 50 Most Beautiful Women, published in the magazine's September 2007 issue.

Goonalan's D&D 5th Edition Campaigns
Faction- The Order of the Gauntlet
The Order of the Gauntlet.
The Order of the Gauntlet is composed of faithful and vigilant seekers of justice who protect others from the depredations of evildoers. The organization is honorable, vigilant, and zealous. Clerics, monks, and paladins of good (and often lawful good) alignments are commonly drawn to the Order of the Gauntlet.
• Be armed and vigilant against evil.
• Identify evil threats such as secretive power groups and inherently evil creatures.
• Enforce justice.
• Enact retribution against evil actions—do not strike preemptively.
• Faith is the greatest weapon against evil—faith in one's god, one's friends, and one's self.
• Battling evil is an extraordinary task that requires extraordinary strength and bravery.
• Punishing an evil act is just. Punishing an evil thought is not.
Member Traits
The Order of the Gauntlet is a dedicated, tightly knit group of like-minded individuals driven by religious zeal or a finely honed sense of justice and honor. Friendship and camaraderie are important to members of the order, and they share a trust and a bond normally reserved for siblings. Like highly motivated soldiers, members of the Order of the Gauntlet seek to become the best at what they do and look forward to testing their mettle. There are few, if any, "lone wolves" in this organization.

PARIS --Planes couldn't land, cars couldn't move and pedestrians had to slosh their way through slush, but not everyone minded the snow in Paris for the start of haute couture week on Sunday.
At Atelier Versace, Kevin Costner said, "It's given Paris a wonderful look – it's like a winter wonderland." There to film "Three Days to Kill," Costner said when the invitation to Versace's spring/summer collection arrived, going to the show seemed like a good idea.
"I like to see what's going on in the city," Costner said. Besides that, he said his wife, Christine, wanted to go. "I'm missing a football game for this," he added. His mother-in-law, Judy Hardy, came along, too.
An eclectic front row, as happens often at haute couture shows, the night's lineup also included Olivia Munn of "The Newsroom," Melissa George of "Hunted," Princess Charlene of Monaco and recording artist Ne-Yo.

Demi Lovato is about as real as celebs in young Hollywood can possibly get. She has already battled her share of inner demons- everything from addiction issues to self abuse- and freely discusses these things as a way of helping others who are struggling to feel a little less alone. Demi also gets that not all problems are just fixed with the snap of a finger. Some issues need daily fine-tuning and that is what a good deal of her life is now about. Tweaking things until they feel right even if only for today.
Demi graces the August issue of seventeen magazine which hits newsstands on July 1st and she is also guest editor for the issue. Her interview is chock full of info on the rising star and it's clear that a lot of that soul searching that she has done has really paid off. She says that part of the reason that she gives back to people in need is because it's good for her soul. If she lost her own level of fame tomorrow then she's still left with her soul and all is not lost.
Demi also discusses the twitter wars that a lot of celebs find themselves tangled in. Girlfriend has found a way to deal with the comments that people make without going off the deep end in a reactive way. Demi says, I'm impulsive when it comes to fighting back, but I've learned to reel it in. Tweeting without thinking does more harm than good. So take a second. Journal what you want to say, and then if you still feel the same later, that's when you can tweet it."
That's the kind of advice a lot of us can take, right? How often do you find yourself reacting to something someone says on Twitter and just wanting to let them have it? Pretty often I'll bet! What are your thoughts on Demi? Do you guys respect her more for all of the stuff that she has already gone through in her life? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!

Victim's Bill of Rights
Oklahoma Crime Victim Compensation Program
Federal Domestic Violence Laws
Victims of federal criminal offenses are accorded certain rights under 18 U.S.C. 3771. Those rights include:
- The right to be reasonably protected from the accused;
- The right to reasonable, accurate, and timely notice of any public court proceeding, or any parole proceeding, involving the crime, or of any release or escape of the accused;
- The right not to be excluded from any public court proceedings unless the court, after receiving clear and convincing evidence, determines that testimony by the victim would be materially altered if the victim heard other testimony at that proceeding;
- The right to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving release, plea, sentencing, or any parole proceeding;
- The reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the government in the case;
- The right to full and timely restitution as provided in law;
- The right to proceedings free from unreasonable delay and;
- The right to be treated with fairness and with respect for the victim's dignity and privacy
- The Victim Witness Unit has been created to assist the victims of federal crimes and witnesses called by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the legal process. It is our job to provide information and assistance regarding the court process and referrals for services needed.
Oklahoma Crime Victim Compensation Program
A person who has been physically or emotionally injured as a result of a crime may be eligible for financial assistance through the Oklahoma Crime Victims Compensation Board.
To qualify for assistance:
- The crime must have occurred in Oklahoma on or after October 19, 1981.
- The crime must have been reported to a law enforcement agency within 72 hours.
- The claim for compensation must be filed within one (1) year of injury or death.
- The claimant must cooperate fully in the investigation and prosecution of the offender.
- Compensation shall not be awarded to a claimant if it would unjustly benefit the offender or accomplice.
- Compensation that could be awarded may be reduced or denied, depending on the degree of responsibility for the injury or death that is attributable to the victim.
The United States Department of Justice and the United States Attorney's Office have taken several steps to make the participation by victims and witnesses more effective and meaningful. One of these steps is to prepare a "Victim Witness Handbook". We hope that it will provide the answers to many of your questions and will give you sufficient general information to understand your rights and responsibilities. Victims now have access to automated and online tracking of the criminal case. Please call this office to find out how to participate in this program. If you have to serve as a witness, remember your assistance is greatly needed and appreciated by your community.
Federal Domestic Violence Laws
Violence and abuse at the hands of a loved one are frightening, degrading and confusing. Have you experienced this violence or abuse? If so, you are a victim of domestic violence. You are also the victim of a crime. In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). This Act, and the 1996 additions to the Act, recognize that domestic violence is a national crime and that federal laws can help an overburdened state and local criminal justice system. In 1994 and 1996, Congress also passed changes to the Gun Control Act making it a federal crime in certain situations for domestic abusers to possess guns. State and local authorities will continue to prosecute most of the domestic violence cases. However, the investigation of a case may reveal that federal prosecution is the best course of action. All the federal domestic violence crimes are felonies. It is a federal crime under VAWA:
- To cross states lines or enter or leave Indian country and physically injure an "intimate partner." 18 U.S.C. §2261.
- To cross states lines to stalk or harass or to stalk or harass within the maritime or territorial lands of the United States (this includes military bases and Indian country.) 18 U.S.C. §2261A
- To cross states lines or enter or leave Indian country and violate a qualifying Protection Order. 18 U.S.C. §2262.
- To possess a firearm and/or ammunition while subject to a qualifying Protection Order. 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(8)
- To possess a firearm and/or ammunition after conviction of a qualifying misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(9)
- For further victim service information, you may call the Victim-Witness Unit of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Oklahoma, at (918)382-2700.
