Point Park dance major Madison Tabet is crowned Miss New Mexico at the statewide pageant in June 2010.
After finishing freshman year this spring as a dance student at Point Park University, Madison Tabet returned to Albuquerque, New Mexico, knowing she had a busy summer ahead. It became even busier when Tabet won the Miss New Mexico pageant in late June. Now her days are filled with public appearances, visits to schools, personal training and preparing for the Miss America pageant in January.
"It's such an exciting time," says the 18 year old. Tabet credits her jazz dance performance during the talent competition with helping her to win the Miss New Mexico title.
"She is one of the most amazing dancers I've ever seen," says Carol Henry, executive director of the Miss New Mexico Organization. "That's what our judges said about her, too."
Tabet earned a dance scholarship to Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts following her performance at the Youth America Grand Prix student ballet competition in New York City.
This summer, she received additional funding for her education as a result of winning the Miss New Mexico pageant, in which she competed as Miss Bernalillo County.
The competition included presentations about issues important to each competitor. Tabet selected domestic violence. Now, as Miss New Mexico, she visits schools and shelters to discuss the issue, and she calls attention to it in the media.
"It is rewarding talking to people about this important topic," she says of her new role.
In her free time the new Miss New Mexico is preparing for the national competition. The pageant, which represents a lifelong dream for Tabet, will be held Jan. 15, 2011 in Las Vegas.
"I have one shot at becoming Miss America, so I am giving it my all," she says.

I'm heading back to Michigan for five days. Got a ticket 7 days ago for the best price I've ever seen for a Denver to Flint flight (although I've only ever looked for a Flint to Denver flight – does that matter much?). Gonna ride the bus from the park n ride near my house to the airport. It's convenient AND affordable!
We bought a bed last night (not the mattress — just the bed). Saw it in the store, and we both said "Whoa, that's perfect." Then we bought it online the next night because it was $200 cheaper. Let's hope the store holds up to its 4.5 star review rating! Rugs are next.
Update: Our bed arrived, and I got it set up. I've determined that Colorado beds (again, not including mattresses) are more sophisticated, mature and much cooler than Michigan beds. However, my opinion may be biased because I've only ever bought a bed in Colorado, and I've never bought a bed in Michigan. My assumption is that beds in Michigan were just not good enough for me to buy.

Gingerline HQ
From the pioneers of underground immersive dining comes the ultimate night out for East London's food adventurers: Gingerline HQ. Part hideout, part parallel reality, Gingerline HQ is a clandestine and chameleon dining adventure held in a secret location along the East London Line (or 'ginger line', as they call it). The destination and concept is as mysterious as the menu. Visitors to their past adventures have been thrust into Siberian circuses, dived into submarine mess halls and descended into underground tunnels for Victorian banquets. To take part, hover near any station on the East London Line (London Overground stations between Highbury and Islington and Crystal Palace) at 6pm on the evening of your booking; you'll receive a text message telling you where to go. Once there, you'll be dined and delighted with a welcome cocktail, five courses of delicious seasonal cuisine and a piece of take-home menu art. After being treated to a night of fine food and unexpected pleasures, all diners will be sworn to keep the secrets of the Gingerline safe. Over-18s only.

It is my second time in a Gingerline event. Secret island is fantasticly well presented and a great experience. Let down by the food and the overprice cocktails( though very creative flavours in the drinks)
I have been intrigued by the Gingerline for a while and thanks to Timeout, I was able to experience it for myself last Thursday - for free! Thanks Timeout and Sony! There was a lot of built up and it only added to the excitement of the event. Well planned, entertaining characters (actors and fellow diners). Though initially it did feel a bit like a school trip as we were split into groups. That was quickly dispelled as soon as the first drink arrived and everyone settled down to eat. The drinks were top notch and the whole evening was only let down by the food. Meagre portions, cold and first course was 2 cherry tomatoes wrapped in undercooked puff pastry! The design etc was superb though ad I loved the venue. I've lived jn Shoreditch for 3 years and have never felt so 'East London' as I did that night. I would really recommend it for taking a first or second date, you won't run out of things to say and if the date runs out of steam, there are probably other fishes in the cavernous arches of Haggerston!
Five reasons why you would enjoy a gingerline event: 1. Love for the unknown There is some thrill on things that are not planned, yet to be discovered. You will just know the date, and then little by little you will find out.. the reception venue, the hidden path to the dinning venue, the people, the food, the activities throughout dinner... 2. Meet the neighbours You can talk to a type people that are very different to you and that you may otherwise not interact with. I dined next to a theatre performer and a wine merchant. I work in the city so as you can imagine, this is quite a different conversation that from my last Christmas dinner! 3. Original food I consider myself a bit of a foodie and although I would not go to this event just for the food (you really come here for the experience), what I enjoyed about my meal is that it was very original both in terms of presentation and in mixing of flavours - if chili, raspberry, cardamom, pumpkin and chocolate... all in one dish sound intriguing, this event is definetely for you! 4. Randomness From a phone hidden in a chicken, to a hidden spy in a wheelie bin under a bridge... I do not think I need to explain much more on this one 5. It is temporary The fact that this all is a pop up makes it special and ephemerous, each theme event is different, a bit of London that not everyone would have the opportunity to know... so be fast or the opportunity will go!
I received a mysterious text message with an overground station name and a time in it. That's how my undercover night just started and that was just the beginning of a great night out. Finding the hideout following the clues of other agents on the ground was good fun. The venue was really unique (I would just say that you need to access via a secret door in a garage in East London!) and both food and drinks were top notch. Kudos to Gingerline HQ on the organisation and the entertainment, I absolutely recommend it!
One of the most unique dining experiences i've had my whole life. If you've been with a partner for a long time, or even a really old friend to be honest, and feel like something new is needed, This is definitely for you. I'm trying not to give away too much information, but, i guarantee that unless you and your guest are Mr & Mrs Smith you'll find this experience new, intriguing, fascinating and tasty.
What an amazing event! Everything was so well set up, I really felt like I was a secret agent for the night. Every detail was well thought out, from the presentation of the food, to the way they led us to the Hideout by giving us clues and mini missions to complete. It was a lot of fun and is something I've never experienced before. There was also an open bar with a great range of cocktails (loved the Pink Panthers!) and the staff were really attentive. There was never a dull moment with something happening between every course of the meal. Great work Gingerline HQ, keep it up!
What a fabulously nutty night out - we arrived at our secret London location and, after a few 'missions' arrived at our final destination at which point supper began to arrive, 4 courses of mouth wateringly delicious food - accompanied by two signature cocktails and some decent wine. In between each course there were a number of fun activities to get involved in and the evening went out with a bang, a perfect night out! Go go go
We had a very good time getting entertained, eating drinking and talking to other people. the whole night was organised nicely and staff where really giving their best performances!! In terms of food, it was delicious and nicely presented.. and drinks were just great and the fact that it was a free bar just made the whole night full of pure joy!! I would definitely recommend this to everyone.
A fantastic night of food, drink and performance. The theme for our event was secret agents and we had no idea what was in store when we rocked up for our initial 'breifing'. From then on we were immersed in a weird, and comic adventure that kept us guessing 'whats coming next' - the answer was great food, great interactive performance and a surpise twist at the end. Highly recommended
Had a very enjoyable time - would definitely recommend it! The food was top notch and the entertainment well thought out. People who are complaining about the price below, should really consider the amount of planning and effort that went in to such a well run operation! Some of the entertainment could have been a bit more inclusive but I found that if you wanted to get involved their was plenty of opportunity to do so! Also considering the amount of alcohol consumed, £50 was an absolute steal!
Loved everything about it. The place was beautifully put together- so quirky and inventive and lots of attention to detail. The food was delicious and unusual. I felt so happy in that twilight fairytale world that I didn't want to leave. Magical. It would be brilliant if there was live music and dancing afterwards- turning it into a longer and even more immersive experience!
Super food, great atmosphere and well worth the money! Loved it.
Went to Gingerline with friends recently and we couldn't recommend it enough - really don't understand the comments below although I did notice another link with much more positive reviews! The food was absolutely delicious and the time and effort put into every detail was remarkable. Performance wise, it's fun, quirky and interactive without the pressure to get involved if you just want to chat with friends. All in all a magical experience and we'll all come back again!!
Experience-wise, it was pretty good fun, although once you got past the initial 'wow, isn't this crazy!' thing, there wasn't much else to stay for. The food was pretty average, definitely not worth £50. The place was decked out like a super cool casino - even the dinner tables had roulette markings on them. I thought after dinner maybe we'd have some casino-like events, but not at all. Once dinner was over, we were encouraged to leave! The place looked amazing, the props were amazing, but it seemed a lot of effort for nothing as we didnt even get to use most of them! Worth going once, but unless they had a real re-think about what it is they're trying to do, I'm not sure I'd go again.
I agree with Jamie. The experience felt underwhelming, past its sell-by date and l wish I had spent my money elsewhere. It's also in an area of London without nightlife so don't go thinking you'll be able to have an easy drink nearby.

From the colorful pages of this year's Stem to Stern, you will observe the exciting and enlightening year ECU's Maritime Studies Program has enjoyed.
Contributions made to the department via our Stem to Stern publication go toward a scholarship fund to help defray the cost of education and research for students in the department: a worthy cause. This year, we have created an honorary medallion to reward our contributors! Program graduates who donate $50, and outside contributors who give $100 will receive this coin in the mail. Donations can be mailed to the Program in Maritime Studies. We thank you so much for your support of this program!
From very humble beginnings, the Maritime Studies Program at East Carolina University has blossomed into one of the world's leading academic underwater archaeology programs. It is characterized by hands-on underwater training, primary document historical research, and other practical skills such as remote sensing and grant writing. These skills provide the type of training eagerly sought by employers. Since its inception in 1982 the Program has graduated 266 MA students in this field, with an overall graduation rate of 71%. Most of our graduates have gone on to get jobs in the field as Contract Archaeologists, Government Cultural Resource Managers, Museum Archaeologists, Curators, Museum Directors, National and State Park Staff, Conservators, and Teachers at all levels.
Qualified students enjoy extensive university support in the form of Graduate Assistantships and Scholarships. These positions supply both teaching and research experience. Yet we don't just rely on the classroom, the Program in Maritime Studies takes pride in the fact that we take theory into the real world to practice it in the field. In the Program exciting careers are not an accident they are the result of planning, introspection, training, and last but not least, field experience.
Program staff includes Professors with both National and International reputations in research excellence including 8 full time PhD Archaeologists and Historians backed by 3 technicians as well as a fully staffed Diving and Boating Safety Office boasting a well maintained fleet of research vessels. Our expertise includes cutting edge remote sensing, ROV, and archaeological survey techniques, skills that attract employers. Our professors have written over 30 academic press books concerning their various research interests plus innumerable articles and site reports concentrating primarily on North American underwater archaeology projects ranging geographically from Bermuda to the Middle of the Pacific Ocean, and the Caribbean Sea to Lake Superior.
If you have read this welcome then perhaps you are searching for a career that combines a love of exploration, ship and sea faring history, and archaeology. We can offer you this opportunity, while also letting you benefit from a very large network of working alumni. Education is our forte, yet our outstanding job placement after graduation is also a source of pride. It is an element of solid academics and a growing web of working professionals who remember their family here at ECU's Program in Maritime Studies.

From the early 1950s to the dawn of digital cinema, stereoscopic 3D (S3D) earned a reputation as a gimmick for tacky genre pictures.
Schlockmeister William Castle and his ilk used it to send warrior arrows and fiery torches flying into the aud's faces at every turn.
But today's S3D filmmakers see stereo as an important creative tool that adds to the emotional impact of their pictures.
"There's an emotional component of 3D," says helmer Henry Selick, whose "Coraline" impressed mavens with its creative use of stereo. "There's that ability to give comfort, and, like many other tools in filmmaking — lighting, performance, everything — 3D is now a powerful tool to influence emotions."
Selick did just that with "Coraline," flattening out the "real world" to make the title character's life feel constricted, then expanding the space when she goes into the "other world" version of her house.
Similarly, in Pixar's "Up," the stereo-space changes with the emotional arc of the widower at the center of the story, Carl. When he's isolated, both Carl and the space are flattened. When he's having an adventure, he and his world have more depth. In the climactic fight aboard a zeppelin over the Amazon jungle, the 3D actually has more depth than real life.
Creative S3D wasn't unknown even in the bad old days. On "Dial M for Murder," Alfred Hitchcock — unenthusiastic about the format — used low-angle shots with lamps and furniture in the foreground and the actors placed behind the screen plane. It gave the picture a voyeuristic feel, as if the audience members were prowlers.
Today's filmmakers, though, are more aggressive about turning stereo up or down, just as they might change color saturation or sound volume.
Making creative use of 3D, however, requires a change in mindset from traditional filmmaking techniques, says Phil McNally, DreamWorks' global stereoscopic supervisor. He points out that much of the art of cinematography involves trying to create the illusion of depth in a flat image — in effect, a 3D-to-2D conversion.
"People have become experts at this translation from 3D to 2D to the point where we sometimes lose track that that's what we're doing," McNally says. "People who love film enjoy that process of 3D-to-2D conversion so much that sometimes it's hard to actually look at something in 3D and not feel just uncomfortable. It's not what they're used to."
For example, S3D seems to require wider-angle lenses than 2D. McNally explains that the long lenses often used for 2D shooting capture a long, thin cone of space, but a viewer in a theater is looking at a much wider cone. "We found in our world that's about a 24mm lens or 50-55 degrees field of view. Lenses that are wide angle create very natural-looking 3D."
Pixar's stereoscopic supervisor, Bob Whitehill, found something similar. "Since our eyes are roughly about a 45mm lens," he says, "we're used to that spatial sensation. And so, when we're watching something in 3D, we expect that dimensionality to be reflected on the screen."
Filmmakers who've worked in digital S3D like the format and expect it to stay, though its future probably depends on whether it makes its way into homes.
Selick, in fact, wishes "Coraline" could have been released only in S3D, not in both flat and stereo.
"From my side, all the effort went into making a great 3D film. I wasn't really trying to split it down the middle.
"For me it was the perfect marriage of medium and technology."

Graham B needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 137 designs submitted by 43 freelance designers.
We are a new business that will deliver great online learning for busy professionals- initially mainly accountants. They have to do Continuing Professional Development (CPD) but it is usually dull and boring - we want to be different. It will use all forms of current on-line and social media.
We are starting with a logo, and will use this project as a basis for our web designs too.
The target audience is young, degree qualified professionals - accountants, lawyers, financial planners, etc. They are tech savvy and time poor, but have expectations of quality.
However these are the early adopters but we hope to extend this to the older professionals (35-50yrs) too so we don't want it too crazy but fun if possible!
We need the logo for just the words smartCPD (one word no spaces)
We would like the CPD part easily identifiable as this is a common term that is most important. smart should communicate how we are different - better learning experience - meaningful, emorable and motivational.
I am thinking a typographical treatment and one which reflects professionalism (say university feel). Feel free to work with colours but remember we want to roll it out for the web site too (and stationery).
No stock shots please.
Please provide as an EPS and Jpeg. CMYK and RGB would be helpful for different uses.
I have attached our current "temporary" logo

Newsflash! Someone found some old headstones in a ditch south of Wichita, the sheriff's office makes the names public while continuing to investigate, and within hours genealogists have found the cemetery while the police are still looking. How? Easy -- the sheriff's staff were searching actual cemeteries and genealogists were searching findagrave.com. Thanks to the work of the local genealogy societies, Find-A-Grave has Wichita covered.
My favorite part of the article is this remark from the officer in charge of the investigation: "He estimated he heard from 50 people within an hour. "I didn't realize how many people do these genealogy searches," Pollock said."

But all these guys are correct you cant really underpower a speaker but if the new XXX is like the MX (which it should be) it takes a bit to get it moving. I havent had any personal experiance with the new xxx's myself since the only one we've done at the shop happened on my day off. But ive dealt with a few MXs.
the issue i see you running into is going to be with the box. Sealed is allright but like nisimo said ported is going to stand out more especially when the speakers can handle more power wise. BUT ported boxes really need to be designed correctly to work right. If you got some crazy nonsense tuned to 60hz+ and leaking air its going to flop on its face.
Also when doing the box your going to want to be sure and do plenty of braces and probably double up on the face. Most of the boxes ive seen returned with the big speakers we sell (MX, SX, MT) all just have the single baffle. I dont think ive seen anyone with a dual baffle box come back with issues reguarding the box itself.
cool, thanks. ive tried my hand at designing a ported box but, im worried if its gonna come out right. im a mechanic by trade so i HAVE TO build it myself. but also ive had a few concerns. first off would be would the box need to have ports on either side of it?? essentialy like this: http://www.diamondaudio.com/PDF/current/WiringEnclosures/Dual12VentedEnclosure.pdf (didnt know any other place to reference)
or is a single port ok> the other problem is IF i can get that size box in my vehicle, is having the ports that close to the ears ok?? i know of rounding over the edges of the port w/ a router to reduce port noise, but we are talking like a foot away.
again you guys rock, thanks for helping me design a great system!!

Sen. John Ensign, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, paints a grim picture of his party's chances in the 2008 election.
At a Monitor-sponsored lunch with reporters Thursday, Senator Ensign said Republican candidates were facing the worst election climate since 1974, when Richard Nixon resigned as president. He volunteered that having Republicans reclaim the Senate would take a miracle and outlined a fundraising strategy based on frightening donors about what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi might attempt without Senate Republicans to block her.
Ensign, a two-term senator from Nevada, quipped that, "there wasn't a long line of people who wanted this job this election cycle and for good reason. It is probably the toughest election cycle ... since 1974." Ensign added that, "The other problem has been the number of Republican seats that are up." In the current election cycle, Republicans have to defend 23 seats, the Democrats only 12.
Given those numbers, "It would be fairly miraculous for us to get back in the majority. We are trying to be realistic on holding ... as close to where we are today as possible," Ensign said.
One reason for the grim outlook, Ensign noted, is that, "of the competitive races in the country, really seriously competitive races in the country, nine of the 10 of them currently are held by Republicans. So that basically means we are playing defense."
Independent political forecasters put likely Republican losses in the Senate at anywhere from three to seven Senate seats. Ensign said losing three seats "would be a great night ... it would be a terrific night for us absolutely." He said losing four seats "is kind of where we have set our absolute worst goal."
Minimizing losses is essential, he said, since losing more seats would make it impossible for Republicans to block Senate action by threatening a filibuster. In the current Senate, Democrats and Republicans each have 49 seats with the two independents often voting Democrat. "You have got to have the 41 seats ... to effectuate a filibuster and to get 41 seats you probably need 45 on a consistent basis, because you are always going to lose a few Republicans" on any given issue, Ensign said.
The ability to block Democratic action is key to the pitch Ensign said he is making to Republican donors. "The critical part and one of the things we are talking [about] to a lot of folks around the country is that if Barack Obama becomes president, Nancy Pelosi looks like she will be at least where she is today if not in a stronger position in a majority in the House. And that means Senate Republicans really will be the fire wall to (1) stopping bad legislation or (2) at least making the majority come to us and moderate their positions."
Ensign said the most 10 most competitive Senate races are in: Alaska, Colorado, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, and Virginia.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's biggest brewers, Corona maker Grupo Modelo and Sol producer Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma, have agreed to face more competition to end a dispute over their long domination of the domestic beer market, the world's sixth-biggest.
Mexico's Federal Competition Commission (Cofeco) said on Thursday that Modelo, a unit of Anheuser-Busch InBev SA (ABI.BR), and Cuauhtemoc, which belongs to Heineken NV (HEIN.AS), would in the next five years have to reduce exclusivity deals they have with clients in Mexico or face heavy fines.
The directive follows a longstanding complaint from rival SABMiller SAB.L, whose brands include Miller, Grolsch and Peroni, and which has struggled to make headway in Mexico.
In terms of the amount of beer consumed, Modelo accounted for some 56 percent of the Mexican market in 2012, with Heineken Mexico at 43 percent, data from market research firm Euromonitor shows. SABMiller was a distant third with 0.3 percent.
The two brewing giants agreed to conditions that include limiting exclusivity deals in convenience stores and restaurants to a maximum of 25 percent of points of sale, reducing this to 20 percent over the next five years.
In addition, no such agreements may exclude sales of artisanal beer brewed by small-scale beer makers, Cofeco said.
The watchdog also set a penalty for breaking the terms of the agreement at up to 8 percent of Cuauhtemoc's or Modelo's annual Mexican revenue.
Modelo had domestic sales of 51.6 billion pesos ($4.01 billion) last year, implying a penalty of up to $321 million - or about a third of the company's net profit in 2012.
The settlement gives microbrewers, as well as SABMiller, a better chance to compete, but not everyone was persuaded.
SAB Miller's Mexico unit said a complete opening of the market would have been better for all involved. "Miller is analyzing the settlement to determine its response in due course," Armando Valenzuela, chief executive of Miller Trading Company in Mexico, said in a statement.
One of Cofeco's five commissioners voted against the settlement because he wanted a stronger ruling. "In principle, I think these exclusive agreements are wrong, because they reduce choice for consumers," said Miguel Flores.
Exclusive agreements between restaurants and bars and the dominant pair of brewers already account for 25 percent to 30 percent of the market, the commissioner said. "This is just formalizing the status quo. There is no change in the market," said Flores.
The ruling, which allows existing agreements to expire, was "not that harsh" Credit Suisse said in a research note.
SABMiller would have improved access to the market, but it still faces some barriers to Mexico, including its brand portfolio, Credit Suisse analyst Antonio Gonzalez wrote.
Shares of Heineken and AB InBev, the world's biggest brewer, closed up nearly 1 percent after the decision. Shares of SABMiller, the second-largest brewer worldwide, were up nearly 2 percent on the London Stock Exchange.
Restaurants and bars in Mexico have received a range of incentives for entering into exclusivity deals with the brewers, including awnings, games, refrigerators and discounts on inventory purchases, if sales are high enough.
Many Mexicans have looked forward to change in the market, which is a duopoly for the two big brewers.
"The monopoly that Grupo Modelo and Cuauhtemoc have is really screwed up," said Paco Bernal, the dreadlocked manager at El Palenguito, a small, dimly lit mezcal bar in Mexico City's Roma Norte neighborhood, earlier this week.
AB InBev and Heineken have carved up much of Brazil's market in addition to that of Mexico, while SABMiller has leading positions in smaller Latin American nations such as Colombia and Peru.
Following the Cofeco settlement, SABMiller will probably start offering big discounts and lots of incentives to Mexican retailers, said James Mosher, an expert on the brewing industry at the CDM Group consultancy.
"I would expect, depending on how effective the agreement is ... in 10 years they'd be able to grab 10 percent of the market," Mosher said.
AB InBev this year completed the purchase of the half of Modelo it did not already own, after settling a dispute with the U.S. Justice Department.
Dutch brewer Heineken acquired Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma, whose other brands include Dos Equis and Indio, from Coca-Cola bottler Femsa (FMSAUBD.MX) in 2010.
Femsa, which has a 20 percent stake in Heineken, operates convenience store chain Oxxo and has exclusivity deals to sell the Dutch company's beers. Modelo has similar agreements with bars and restaurants. ($1 = 12.8570 Mexican pesos)

text: Latest News Trump is ready to build the wall. Bids open for a "30 foot tall…big, beautiful wall" at the Mexican border. "The wall" is about to get built. Published 2 years ago on March 18, 2017 By Alex Christoforou 561 Views Share Tweet For anyone who thought Trump's "we will build a wall" campaign rhetoric was just that, rhetoric, think again. The AP reports…. The Trump administration wants to build a 30-foot-high border wall that looks good from the north side and is difficult to climb or cut through, according to a pair of contract notices posted to a government website further detailing President Donald Trump's promise to build a "big, beautiful wall" at the Mexican border. The notices were made public late Friday by Customs and Border Protection, the Homeland Security Department agency that will oversee the project and eventually patrol and maintain the wall. The proposals are due to the government by March 29. One of the CBP contract requests calls for a solid concrete wall, while the other asks for proposals for a see-through structure. Both require the wall to sunk at least six feet into the ground and include 25- and 50-foot automated gates for pedestrians and vehicles. The proposed wall must also be built in a such a way that it would take at least an hour to cut through it with a "sledgehammer, car jack, pick axe, chisel, battery operated impact tools, battery operated cutting tools, Oxy/acetylene torch or other similar hand-held tools." The government will award a contract based on 30-foot-wide sample walls that are to be built in San Diego. This is the second time the Trump administration has asked for private companies to bid on building the wall. Last month CPB put out a call for "concept papers" to design and build prototypes by March 10. Trump has bragged in recent days that the wall is ahead of schedule, though it's unclear from the latest contract notices if any firms have submitted wall proposals or if any such submissions have been rejected. The government has not said where the wall will be built, though the contract notices suggest some pieces of a new wall could replace existing fencing that stretches over about 700 miles of the roughly 2,000-mile border. The current fencing of mixed construction, including 15-foot steel posts set inches apart that are designed to keep people from crossing and shorter posts that are intended to block cars. Border Patrol agents are constantly repairing holes in the structure. And the cost for the 30 foot high wall… This week the president sent a budget proposal to Congress that included a $2.6 billion down payment for the wall. The total cost for the project is unclear, but the Government Accountability Office estimates it would cost about $6.5 million a mile for fence to keep pedestrians from crossing the border and about $1.8 million a mile for a vehicle barrier. Congressional Republicans have said Trump's wall would cost between $12 billion and $15 billion and Trump has suggested $12 billion. An internal report prepared for Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly estimated the cost of building a wall along the entire U.S.-Mexico border at about $21 billion, according to a U.S. government official who is involved in border issues. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the report has not been made public. That report proposed an initial phase that would extend fences 26 miles and a second wave that would add 151 miles, plus 272 "replacement" miles where fences are already installed, according to the official. Those two phases would cost $5 billion. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!

Published 12 hours ago on March 20, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch The Hill committed what may well have been a random act of journalism when it reported that Ukrainian Prosecutor General, Yuriy Lutsenko, told Hill.tv's reporter John Solomon that the American ambassador to that country, Marie Yovanovitch, gave him a "do not prosecute" list at their first meeting. Normally, all things Russia are covered by the American press as "bad", and all things Ukraine are covered by the same as "good." Yet this report reveals quite a bit about the nature of the deeply embedded US interests that are involved in Ukraine, and which also attempt to control and manipulate policy in the former Soviet republic. The Hill's piece continues (with our added emphases): "Unfortunately, from the first meeting with the U.S. ambassador in Kiev, [Yovanovitch] gave me a list of people whom we should not prosecute," Lutsenko, who took his post in 2016, told Hill.TV last week. "My response of that is it is inadmissible. Nobody in this country, neither our president nor our parliament nor our ambassador, will stop me from prosecuting whether there is a crime," he continued. Indeed, the Prosecutor General appears to be a man of some principles. When this report was brought to the attention of the US State Department, the response was predictable: The State Department called Lutsenko's claim of receiving a do not prosecute list, "an outright fabrication." "We have seen reports of the allegations," a department spokesperson told Hill.TV. "The United States is not currently providing any assistance to the Prosecutor General's Office (PGO), but did previously attempt to support fundamental justice sector reform, including in the PGO, in the aftermath of the 2014 Revolution of Dignity. When the political will for genuine reform by successive Prosecutors General proved lacking, we exercised our fiduciary responsibility to the American taxpayer and redirected assistance to more productive projects." This is an amazing statement in itself. "Our fiduciary responsibility to the American taxpayer"? Are Americans even aware that their country is spending their tax dollars in an effort to manipulate a foreign government in what can probably well be called a low-grade proxy war with the Russian Federation? Again, this appears to be a slip, as most American media do a fair job of maintaining the narrative that Ukraine is completely independent and that its actions regarding the United States and Russia are taken in complete freedom. Hill.TV has reached out to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine for comment. Lutsenko also said that he has not received funds amounting to nearly $4 million that the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine was supposed to allocate to his office, saying that "the situation was actually rather strange" and pointing to the fact that the funds were designated, but "never received." "At that time we had a case for the embezzlement of the U.S. government technical assistance worth 4 million U.S. dollars, and in that regard, we had this dialogue," he said. "At that time, [Yovanovitch] thought that our interviews of Ukrainian citizens, of Ukrainian civil servants, who were frequent visitors of the U.S. Embassy put a shadow on that anti-corruption policy." "Actually, we got the letter from the U.S. Embassy, from the ambassador, that the money that we are speaking about [was] under full control of the U.S. Embassy, and that the U.S. Embassy did not require our legal assessment of these facts," he said. "The situation was actually rather strange because the funds we are talking about were designated for the prosecutor general's office also and we told [them] we have never seen those, and the U.S. Embassy replied there was no problem." "The portion of the funds, namely 4.4 million U.S. dollars were designated and were foreseen for the recipient Prosecutor General's office. But we have never received it," he said. Yovanovitch previously served as the U.S. ambassador to Armenia under former presidents Obama and George W. Bush, as well as ambassador to Kyrgyzstan under Bush. She also served as ambassador to Ukraine under Obama. Former Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), who was at the time House Rules Committee chairman, voiced concerns about Yovanovitch in a letter to the State Department last year in which he said he had proof the ambassador had spoken of her "disdain" for the Trump administration. This last sentence may be a way to try to narrow the scope of American interference in Ukraine down to the shenanigans of just a single person with a personal agenda. However, many who have followed the story of Ukraine and its surge in anti-Russian rhetoric, neo-Naziism, ultra-nationalism, and the most recent events surrounding the creation of a pseudo-Orthodox "church" full of Ukrainian nationalists and atheists as a vehicle to import "Western values" into a still extremely traditional and Christian land, know that there are fingerprints of the United States "deep state" embeds all over this situation. It is somewhat surprising that so much that reveals the problem showed up in just one report. It will be interesting to see if this gets any follow-up in the US press. Liked it?

All power now rests with the Brussels, as to how, if and when the UK will be allowed to leave the European Union. Remember to Please Subscribe to The Duran's YouTube Channel. Follow The Duran Audio Podcast on Soundcloud. Via Bloomberg… Theresa May claims Brexit is about taking back control. Ten days before the U.K. is due to leave the European Union, it looks like anything but. House of Commons Speaker John Bercow's intervention, citing precedent dating back to 1604, to rule out a repeat vote on May's already defeated departure deal leaves the prime minister exposed ahead of Thursday's EU summit in Brussels. Bercow, whose cries of "Orrdurrr! Orrdurrr!'' to calm rowdy lawmakers have gained him a devoted international following, is now the pivotal figure in the Brexit battle. May's team privately accuse him of trying to frustrate the U.K.'s exit from the EU, while the speaker's admirers say he's standing up for the rights of parliament against the executive. If just one of the 27 other states declines May's summit appeal to extend the divorce timetable, then the no-deal cliff edge looms for Britain's departure on March 29. If they consent, it's unclear how May can meet Bercow's test that only a substantially different Brexit agreement merits another vote in parliament, since the EU insists it won't reopen negotiations. Caught between Bercow and Brussels, May's room for maneuver is shrinking. Amid rumblings that their patience with the U.K. is near exhaustion, EU leaders are girding for the worst. Liked it?

Continue Reading Latest President Putin signs law blocking fake news, but the West makes more Western media slams President Putin and his fake news law, accusing him of censorship, but an actual look at the law reveals some wisdom. Published 19 hours ago on March 20, 2019 By Seraphim Hanisch The TASS Russian News Agency reported on March 18th that Russian President Vladimir Putin signed off on a new law intended to block distorted or untrue information being reported as news. Promptly after he did so, Western news organizations began their attempt to "spin" this event as some sort of proof of "state censorship" in the oppressive sense of the old Soviet Union. In other words, a law designed to prevent fake news was used to create more fake news. One of the lead publications is a news site that is itself ostensibly a "fake news" site. The Moscow Times tries to portray itself as a Russian publication that is conducted from within Russian borders. However, this site and paper is really a Western publication, run by a Dutch foundation located in the Netherlands. As such, the paper and the website associated have a distinctly pro-West slant in their reporting. Even Wikipedia noted this with this comment from their entry about the publication: In the aftermath of the Ukrainian crisis, The Moscow Times was criticized by a number of journalists including Izvestia columnist Israel Shamir, who in December 2014 called it a "militant anti-Putin paper, a digest of the Western press with extreme bias in covering events in Russia".[3] In October 2014 The Moscow Times made the decision to suspend online comments after an increase in offensive comments. The paper said it disabled comments for two reasons—it was an inconvenience for its readers as well as being a legal liability, because under Russian law websites are liable for all content, including user-generated content like comments.[14] This bias is still notably present in what is left of the publication, which is now an online-only news source. This is some of what The Moscow Times had to say about the new fake news legislation: The bills amending existing information laws overwhelmingly passed both chambers of Russian parliament in less than two months. Observers and some lawmakers have criticized the legislation for its vague language and potential to stifle free speech. The legislation will establish punishments for spreading information that "exhibits blatant disrespect for the society, government, official government symbols, constitution or governmental bodies of Russia." Insulting state symbols and the authorities, including Putin, will carry a fine of up to 300,000 rubles and 15 days in jail for repeat offenses. As is the case with other Russian laws, the fines are calculated based on whether the offender is a citizen, an official or a legal entity. More than 100 journalists and public figures, including human rights activist Zoya Svetova and popular writer Lyudmila Ulitskaya, signed a petition opposing the laws, which they labeled "direct censorship." This piece does give a bit of explanation from Dmitry Peskov, showing that European countries also have strict laws governing fake news distribution. However, the Times made the point of pointing out the idea of "insulting governmental bodies of Russia… including Putin" to bolster their claim that this law amounts to real censorship of the press. It developed its point of view based on a very short article from Reuters which says even less about the legislation and how it works. However, TASS goes into rather exhaustive detail about this law, and it also gives rather precise wording on the reason for the law's passage, as well as how it is to be enforced. We include most of this text here, with emphases added: Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law on blocking untrue and distorting information (fake news). The document was posted on the government's legal information web portal. The document supplements the list of information, the access to which may be restricted on the demand by Russia's Prosecutor General or his deputies. In particular, it imposes a ban on "untrue publicly significant information disseminated in the media and in the Internet under the guise of true reports, which creates a threat to the life and (or) the health of citizens, property, a threat of the mass violation of public order and (or) public security, or the threat of impeding or halting the functioning of vital infrastructural facilities, transport or social infrastructure, credit institutions, energy, industrial or communications facilities." Pursuant to the document, in case of finding such materials in Internet resources registered in accordance with the Russian law on the mass media as an online media resource, Russia's Prosecutor General or his deputies will request the media watchdog Roskomnadzor to restrict access to the corresponding websites. Based on this request, Roskomnadzor will immediately notify the editorial board of the online media resource, which is in violation of the legislation, about the need to remove untrue information and the media resource will be required to delete such materials immediately. If the editorial board fails to take the necessary measures, Roskomnadzor will send communications operators "a demand to take measures to restrict access to the online resource." In case of deleting such untrue information, the website owner will notify Roskomnadzor thereof, following which the media watchdog will "hold a check into the authenticity of this notice" and immediately inform the communications operator about the resumption of the access to the information resource. The conditions for the law are very specific, as are the penalties for breaking it. TASS continued: Liability for breaching the law Simultaneously, the Federation Council approved the associated law with amendments to Russia's Code of Administrative Offences, which stipulates liability in the form of penalties of up to 1.5 million rubles (around $23,000) for the spread of untrue and distorting information. The Code's new article, "The Abuse of the Freedom of Mass Information," stipulates liability for disseminating "deliberately untrue publicly significant information" in the media or in the Internet. The penalty will range from 30,000 rubles ($450) to 100,000 rubles ($1,520) for citizens, from 60,000 rubles ($915) to 200,000 rubles ($3,040) for officials and from 200,000 rubles to 500,000 rubles ($7,620) for corporate entities with the possible confiscation of the subject of the administrative offence. In addition, the law introduces some new elements of offence, one of which stipulates sanctions for creating obstacles to the functioning of life support facilities, transport or social infrastructure, communications, energy and industrial facilities and credit institutions by way of disseminating fake news. In such instances, fines will range from 100,000 rubles to 300,000 rubles ($4,570) for citizens, from 300,000 rubles to 600,000 rubles ($9,150) for officials and from 500,000 rubles to 1 million rubles ($15,240) for corporate entities. Another element of offence imposes tighter liability for the cases when the publication of false publicly significant information has resulted in the deaths of people, has caused damage to the health or property, prompted the mass violation of public order and security or has caused disruption to the functioning of transport or social infrastructure facilities, communications, energy and industrial facilities and banks. In such instances, the fines will range from 300,000 rubles to 400,000 rubles ($6,090) for citizens, from 600,000 rubles to 900,000 rubles ($13,720) for officials, and from 1 million rubles to 1.5 million rubles for corporate entities. While this legislation can be spun (and is) in the West as anti-free speech, one may also consider the damage that has taken place in the American government through a relentless attack of fake news from most US news outlets against President Trump. One of the most notable effects of this barrage has been to further degrade and destroy the US' relationship with the Russian Federation, because even the Helsinki Summit was attacked so badly that the two leaders have not been able to get a second summit together. While it is certainly a valued right of the American press to be unfettered by Congress, and while it is also certainly vital to criticize improper practices by government officials, the American news agencies have gone far past that, to deliberately dishonest attacks, based in innuendo and everything possible that was formerly only the province of gossip tabloid publications. The effort has been to defame the President, not to give proper or due criticism to his policies, nor credit. It can be properly stated that the American press has abused its freedom of late. This level of abuse drew a very unusual comment from the US president, who wondered on Twitter about the possibility of creating a state-run media center in the US to counter fake news: ….and false way. Something has to be done, including the possibility of the United States starting our own Worldwide Network to show the World the way we really are, GREAT! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 26, 2018 Politically correct for US audiences? No. But an astute point? Definitely. Freedom in anything also presumes that those with that freedom respect it, and further, that they respect and apply the principle that slandering people and institutions for one's own personal, business or political gain is wrong. Implied in the US Constitution's protection of the press is the notion that the press itself, as the rest of the country, is accountable to a much Higher Authority than the State. But when that Authority is rejected, as so much present evidence suggests, then freedom becomes the freedom to misbehave and to agitate. It appears largely within this context that the Russian law exists, based on the text given. Further, by hitting dishonest media outlets in their pocketbook, rather than prison sentences, the law appears to be very smart in its message: "Do not lie. If you do, you will suffer where it counts most." Considering that news media's purpose is to make money, this may actually be a very smart piece of legislation. Liked it?

IFitOne feature request: Heat Map view
I would love to see a time-series heatmap view of all of the metrics I am tracking in IfitOne. The fact that IFO already assigns heatmap-style color coding to the daily metrics results seems to suggest that this feature is already on the roadmap, but I'll advocate for it nonetheless.
Tracking my progress on each of the metrics over time would show me whether I am improving, or losing ground on the day-to-day decisions that go into losing weight (and improving productivity). This is far more useful than showing me if I am gaining or losing weight.
An example - I am tracking quality and duration of sleep, as well as several factors that contribute to sleep quality: caffeine intake, sugar, night snacks, exercise. I want to see what the trends are for these factors over time, rather then having to look at each day separately. Several of these factors can have multi-day impacts, for example (e.g. caffeine).
I _really_ love IFitOne, and have started trying to convince my friends (and my spouse!) that this tool makes tracking my daily scorecard easier than any app I have seen since I built my own using HandDBase back in the 90's.
Keep up the good work, and let me know if you need a beta tester for new versions!
IFitOne feature request: Desktop views
IfitOne is a fantastic app, but it would be a huge improvement if the data could be synced to my desktop for viewing and analysis. I would love to be able to take the data and export the charts to my facebook account, e.g. (possibly with some sanitizing). The heatmaps of the various metrics would be _ideal_ to post to facebook, so my friends could help hold me accountable for making good choices.
Thanks for all the hard work - I have become a serious fanboy since I found the customizable metrics feature!
IFitOne: user community?
I would love to have a discussion forum/community for IFitOne users to share their strategies with the tool. As an example, here is the current schema I am using for my IFitOne metrics - how are other users using the tool?
My target is improved personal productivity, with weight management as a side-effect. I have defined a number of personal metrics to track my daily decisions, events that cause stress, and my productivity, and would love to share those with others with similar goals.
Is there a place to do this (besides the moribund support forums) ?
Am I the only fanboy to date ?
IFitOne: Bug: Adding or changing metric breaks historical data
When I add a new metric to IFitOne, it 'breaks' the historical data, which makes the summary data useless.
Example: Assume I have 4 metrics (A,B,C,and D), with data for 1 month, then add a new metric (B.1) so there are now 5: A,B,B.1,C,D
When I export data, I will get a spreadsheet for the past month, with all 5 values recorded for each day. However, the values will not be aligned correctly:
A has data for A
B has data for B
B.1 has historical data for C (!)
C has historical data for D (!)
D has no historical data
In the summary page, D will also show 0% met, and B.1 will have a completion percentage even though I haven't entered any data for it.
There are other failure modes for this bug:
If I change the threshold for a metric (e.g. from "no more than 2" to "no more than 3"), the threshold is applied to all historical data as well. This also affects the summary screens - the metric will show a much higher completion percentage than it should.
This bug is particularly painful since I tinker with the metrics weekly, as I learn more factors that are relevant to my goals, or decide that there are factors which are no longer relevant. I effectively don't get any benefit from the history and summary functions.
IFitOne: Bug: Deleting data also deletes metrics customization
When I accidentally selected "delete all data" (I intended to "export my data", and hit confirm without realizing I had chosen the wrong option - should those really be adjacent on the menu?), I was horrified to find that all of my customized metrics had been erased, and I was stuck with the default IFitOne metrics! (actually, I am guessing that I hit the delete all data option, based on the results - I don't actually know why the app apparently reset on me...)
This is particularly frustrating, as the logs are still present on disk with the metrics defined. I had to recreate the metrics, and lost all history - sigh. It was almost a consolation that the history was all corrupt anyway because of the "failure to change historical data" bug I filed a minute ago...
Perhaps something else happened to reset the app back to factory defaults?
IFitOne: Am I managing data correctly?
So, as I learn how to use the tool, I have found I need to be able to manage the data to work around some of the limits in the tool.
Bug: IFO will corrupt the history of any metrics after the point of insertion if I try to insert them in the list.
Workaround: I only add new metrics at the _end_ of the list. Unfortunately, this breaks my sorting for my metrics (by type).
Anything smarter that I can try?
Bug: IFO includes corrupted history in calculating success percentages on the "Daily Goals Met" screens. (corruption caused by changing schema metrics at various points over the past 2 months).
Workaround 1 (Failed):
I tried to use the "date range" function to only consider newer data. However, the Daily Goals Met screens don't use the "date range" restriction - they appear to include all of history regardless of the "date range" I have selected (success percentages don't change no matter what I select).
Workaround 2: I deleted the log files for the dates prior to my schema change. This seemed to work - the success percentages are correct for the remaining history. It was sad to lose my progress on weight from that prior period, though.
+ Any better way of restricting the data that is used in the application
+ Is there any way to edit the log files to fix corrupted data? Editing the data using the UI is tedious when you have more than a week's data or so...
And, I am also interested to know if the support forums are active any more? Any chance of getting a support forum for IFitOne any time soon?

IFitOne facebook group
I created a "fans of IFitOne" facebook group, to share ideas with other fans (in the event that there _are_ any other fans :-).
Would it be possible to get permission to use the IFitOne image as the image for the group? I took the liberty of uploading it, but will take it down if there are copyright concerns.
Thank you for the Facebook page, you have our permission to use the logo as you have posted or any of the screenshots from our website, etc.

Way cool — the Holy Father yesterday turned to Cassiodorus and Boethius. Teresa Benedetta translated:
Dear brothers and sisters,
Today, I wish to speak about two ecclesiastical writers, Boethius and Cassiodorus, who lived during some of the most trying years of the Christian West, particularly, of the Italian peninsula.
Odoacre, king of the Eruli, a Germanic tribe, had rebelled, bringiing an end to the Western Roman Empire in 476, but soon he succumbed to the Ostrogoths under Theodoric who would control the Italian peninsula for the next several decades.
Boethius, born around 480 in the noble house of the Anicii, entered public life as a young man, becoming senator by the age of 25. Faithful to his family's traditions, he entered politics, convinced that the principles of Roman society could be integrated with the values of the new populations.
In that new era of an encounter between cultures, he considered it his mission to reconcile and bring together classic Roman culture with the nascent culture of the Ostrogoths. He became very active in politics, even under Theodoric, who respected him greatly at the start.
Notwithstanding his public activity, Boethius did not ignore his studies, dedicating himself in particular to an examination of philosophical and religious themes. But he also wrote manuals of arithmetic, gemoetry, music and astronomy: all with the intention of passing on to the new generations, in those new times, the great Greco-Roman culture.
In this context, namely, in the promotion of the encounter between cultures, he used the categories of Greek philosophy to propose the Christian faith, even here, in search of a synthesis between the Hellenistic-Roman patrimony and the Gospel message. Because of this, Boethius has been described as the last representative of ancient Roman culture and the first of the medieval intellectuals.
His best-known work is De consolatione philosophiae, which he wrote while in prison to make sense of his unjust detention. He was, in fact, accused of plotting against King Theodoric because he had taken on the defense of a friend, Senator Albinus.
But it was simply a pretext. In fact, Theodoric, Arian and barbarian, suspected that Boethius harbored sympathies for the Byzantine Emperor Justinian. Boethius was tried, condemned to death, and finally executed on October 23, 524, at the age of 44.
Because of his tragic end, he can speak of his own experience even to contemporary man, and above all, to so many persons who are undergoingg the same fate because of the injustice present in much of 'human justice'.
In his prison text, he looks for comfort, for light, for wisdom. He writes that he was able to distinguish, precisely in his situation, between apparent 'good' – which is absent in jail – and true 'good', like authentic friendship, which can be found even in prison.
The highest good is God. Boethius learned – and teaches us – never to yield to fatalism which extinguishes hope. He teaches us that fate does not govern, but Providence, and it has a face. One can speak to Providence, because Providence is God.
That is why even in prison, there is the possibility of prayer, of dialog with him who saves us. At the same time, even in his situation, he kept a sense of the beauty of culture, and recalls the teachings of the great Greek and Roman philosophers – like Plato and Aristolte, whom he had begun to translate into Latin – and Cicero, Seneca, and poets like Tibullus and Virgil.
Philosophy, as the search for true wisdom, is, according to Boethius, the real medicine for the soul (ibid., Book I). On the other hand, man can experience authentic happiness only in his interiority (ibid., Bk II). And so, Boethius could think about his own personal tragedy in the light of a Wisdom text from the Old Testament (Wis 7,30-8,1), which he cites: "Wickedness prevails not over Wisdom; indeed, she reaches from end to end mightily and governs all things well" (Bk III, 12: PL 63, col. 780).
The so-called prosperity of evil ones, moreover, turns out to be false (Bk IV), and proves the providential nature of adverse fortune. The difficulties of life reveal not only how ephemeral the latter is but also that it is eventually useful for identifying and maintaining authentic inter-personal relationships.
Bad fortune, in fact, allows us to distinguish false friends from the true, and makes us understand that nothing is more precious to man than true friendship.
To fatalistically accept a condition of suffering is absolutely dangerous, says the believer Boethius, because "it eliminates at the root the possibility of prayer itself and of theological hope which are the bases of man's relationship with God" (Bk V, 3: PL 63, COL. 842).
The final peroration of De consolatione philosophiae may be considered s synthesis of Boethius's entire teaching which he addresses to himself and to all who may find themselves in similar conditions. He writes in prison: "And therefore to fight against the vices, dedicate yourself to a virtuous life oriented by hope which elevates the heart until it reaches heaven with prayers nourished by humility. The impositions you have undergone can change, sometimes refuted as lies, with the enormous advantage that you always have before your eyes the Supreme Judge who sees and knows how things really are" (Bk. V, 6: PL 63, col. 862).
Every detained person, for whatever reason he ends up in jail, knows how onerous this particular human condition is, especially when it is made brutal, as it was with Boethius, by the use of torture. Especially absurd is the condition of those who, like Boethius – whom the city of Pavia honors and celebrates as a martyr to the faith – are tortured to death without any other reason but their political and religious convictions.
Boethius, symbol of countless prisoners unjustly detained through all the ages and in all latitudes, is an objective doorway to contemplating the mystery of the Curcifixion on Golgotha.
A contempoary of Boethius was Marcus Aurelius Cassiodorus, a Calabrian native born in Squillace around 485, who died in the fullness of youth in Vivarium around 580.
He too, born into a high social level, dedicated himself to political life and cultural commitment as few others did in the Western Roman Empire in his time. Perhaps the only ones equal to him in this double commitment were Boethius himself and the future Pope, Gregory the Great (590-604).
Conscious of the need not to allow the human and humanistic patrimony accumulated in the golden age of the Roman empire to vanish into oblivion, Cassiodorus collaborated generously – and at the highest levels of political responsibility – with the new peoples who had entered the confines of the empire and had now settled in Italy.
He too was a model of cultural encounter, dialog and reconciliation. But historical events did not allow him to realize his cultural and political dreams which aimed to creeate a synthesis between Italy's Roman-Christian tradition and the new Gothic culture.
Those same events convinced him, however, of the providentiality of the monastic movement, which was then affirming itself in Christian lands. He decided to support it, giving over to it all his mateerial wealth and his spiritual forces.
He conceived the idea of entrusting to the monks the task of recovering, conserving and transmitting to posterity the immense cultural patrimony of the ancients so that it would not be lost. For this, he founded Vivarium, a monastery in which everything was organized so that one could appreciate just how invaluable and irrenunciable was the intellectual labor of the monks.
He made sure that even those monks who had no special intellectual training did not only perform material work in agriculture, but also transcribed manuscripts and thus aided in transmitting the great culture of antiquity to future generations.
All this, without minimizing the monks' monastic and Christian commitment and their charitable activites with the poor.
In his teaching, distributed in various works, but above all in his treatise De anima e nelle Institutiones divinarum litterarum, prayer (cfr PL 69, col. 1108), nourished by Sacred Scripture and the Psalms (cfr PL 69, col. 1149), always has a central place as the nourishment that was needed by everyone.
For example, here is how that most cultured Calabrian introduces his
Expositio in Psalterium: "Having rejected and abandoned in Ravenna all the demands of a political career characterized by the disgusting flavor of worldly concerns, and having benefited with joy from the Psaltery – a book from heaven that is authentic honey to the soul – I plunged avidly like a thirsty man into studying it ceaselessly to allow myself to be permeated by its salutary sweetness after having had enough of the countless bitternesses of active life" (PL 70, col. 10).
The search for God, the impulse to contemplate him, notes Cassiodorus, remains the permanent goal of monastic life (cfr PL 69, col. 1107). But he adds that, with the aid of divine grace (cfr PL 69, col. 1131.1142), one can reach a better fruition of the revealed Word by using the sientific conquests and the 'profane' cuultural instruments already possessed by the Greeks and Romans (cfr PL 69, col. 1140).
Personnaly, Cassiodorus dedicated himself to philosophical, theological and exegetical studies without perticular creativity, but he was always attentive to intuitions which he recognized as valid in others. Above all, he read Jerome and Augustine with respect and devotion.
About Augustine, he wrote: "In Augustine, there is such richness that it seems impossible for me to find anything that he has not already treated abundantly" (cfr PL 70, col. 10).
Citing Jerome, he exhorted the monks at Vivarium: "Those who gain the palm of victory are not only those who shed blood or who live in virginity, but all those who, with the help of God, triumph over the vices of the body and keep the right faith. But in order that you may, always with God's help, more easily defeat the temptations of the world, while being in the world as pilgrims continually on the move, seek above all to guarantee to yourselves the salutary assistance suggested by the first Psalm which recommends meditating night and day on the law of the Lord. Indeed, the enemy will find no breach through which it can attack if all your attention is taken up by Christ" (De Institutione Divinarum Scripturarum, 32: PL 69, col. 1147).
It is an admonition that we can welcome as valid, even for us. In fact, we too live in a time of an encounter of cultures, of the dangers of violence which destroys cultures, and the necessary task of transmitting the great values and teaching the new generations the way of reconciliation and peace.
We find this way by orienting ourselves towards the God with the human face, the God revealed to us in Jesus Chirst.

City of San Antonio Transfers Almost 3,000 Acres to Government Canyon
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Government Canyon State Natural Area is adding almost 2,962 acres of environmentally critical habitat for conservation purposes and future recreational use. The additional land boosts the state natural area's total size to 11,576 acres.
The land deal was okayed Thursday by the San Antonio City Council, which approved the transfer of eight tracts of undeveloped city-owned property to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The land had been purchased by the city with Proposition 3 tax revenues to protect water quality in the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone and for possible use as future parkland.
"The expansion of Government Canyon State Natural Area is a true testimony to the effective partnership between our agency and the City of San Antonio that has always focused on conserving the land's unique natural resources, regardless of ownership," said Carter Smith, TPWD's executive director. "We will be investigating a range of biologically appropriate and compatible public use opportunities, including and up to public hunts."
Future use and development of the additional acreage will be consistent with Government Canyon's existing restrictive development and appropriate public use policies in effect since the state natural area opened to day use in late 2005, according to superintendent Deirdre Hisler. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will work with the city to develop a public use plan that takes into account the protection of all natural resources, she said, including the endangered golden-cheeked warbler that nests in the area.
"The added acreage was purchased by the city under a parks venue and for water quality purposes, so there will be minimal facilities on the tracts," Hisler said. "Some tracts will complement Government Canyon State Natural Area's existing trail system, while others might accommodate a different form of compatible public access."
Almost 90 percent of the Government Canyon watershed rests atop the recharge zone for the Edwards Aquifer, a primary source of drinking water for millions of San Antonio area residents. The eight new tracts fall into this ecologically sensitive watershed as well, and represent the majority of undeveloped lands adjacent to Government Canyon in a rapidly growing area, where in some spots subdivisions abut the state natural area.
In addition to educating the public about the ecological fragility of the karst environment of porous limestone that funnels rainwater underground into the aquifer, Government Canyon SNA affords outdoor enthusiasts access to thousands of classic Hill Country wilderness via some 40 miles of hiking trails. Visitors also have access to 15 recently built picnic sites and an open-air pavilion for day use only. Future plans include providing limited camping opportunities.
Government Canyon State Natural Area is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday through Monday. Call (210) 688-9055 for a list of upcoming special events and other information, or see the park Web page.
