Ancient Game of Go to be Taught at Dietrich Theater
Originating in China more than 4,000 years ago, the game of Go is still popular today and is enjoyed by millions of people around the world. In Japan, Korea, China, and Taiwan, it is played professionally and is far more popular than chess is in the West. In the United States, thousands of people are fascinated with this ancient board game, and its popularity continues to grow.

Members of Congress have introduced new disaster assistance legislation aimed at helping farmers who suffered losses from Hurricane Katrina and from the intense drought and other weather problems that occurred in the Midwest this summer.
Some disaster bill provisions would also try to help offset the impact of sharply higher fuel prices, extend the Livestock Assistance Program and provide an additional $100 million in Emergency Conservation Program funds.
"Weather-related disasters have hit rural America especially hard," said Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., one sponsor of the bills. "We are hearing that Hurricane Katrina could cost the nation's agricultural sector more than $2 billion. That's on top of weather-related disasters that have already wreaked havoc on farms and ranches across the nation."
While Katrina's path of death and destruction along the Gulf Coast areas of Louisiana and Mississippi has dominated the news for the last month, farmers in other regions have been also been hurt by flooding, drought and tornadoes.
In North Dakota, severe storms and floods last spring prevented more than a million acres from being planted, according to Conrad. "Many producers who got a portion of their farms seeded watched as the floodwaters destroyed much of their newly planted crops."
"In the wake of the extraordinary damage done by Hurricane Katrina, the needs for food and farm assistance are unprecedented," said Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., the ranking member on the House Agriculture Committee. "We need to be sure that government agencies are authorized to respond to the immediate and long-term needs of those impacted by this and other disasters."
Peterson introduced a bill that would enhance and extend the USDA's authority to assist families displaced by Hurricane Katrina with disaster food stamps and other food aid. It also provides for crop and livestock loss assistance, emergency conservation programs and other measures to address the agricultural disaster.
"When a disaster like Hurricane Katrina, floods, or droughts hit, the response needs to be fast and effective," Peterson said. "We need to have a plan in place that looks at short- and long-term needs to help rural and agricultural communities recover from disasters."
Peterson's bill would also provide permanent standing food and farm disaster authority that would assure affected communities that emergency government assistance will be available when it's needed, he said.
While the emphasis continues to be on farmers unfortunate enough to be in Katrina's path, American Farm Bureau Federation President Bob Stallman asked Congress not to forget those who have lost their crops or income to other disasters in 2005.
"As harvest begins, there is a mounting sense of alarm over a potential financial blow to America's farmers," Stallman said in a letter to the chairmen of the Senate and House appropriations committees.
The letter provided examples of extreme losses that farmers in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama are contending with in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, but it also pointed out other farming disasters that have occurred recently, including hurricanes in Florida, drought across much of the Midwest and major tornado damage in states such as Georgia.
Stallman warned that the ripple effect from slowed barge traffic on the Mississippi River has the potential to affect farmers throughout all of the major grain-producing states.
"With 70 percent of the corn and soybeans exported via the Mississippi River, U.S. agriculture does not have the storage capacity to wait out a bottleneck nor a good alternative route to ship commodities," he said. "As you develop legislation to respond to destruction of Hurricane Katrina, we respectfully request that you address all agricultural disasters that have occurred or are occurring around the country.
"We urge you to also examine and adopt ways to help U.S. farmers affected by the transportation problems caused by Hurricane Katrina."
He said Farm Bureau agrees with attention being focused on the most devastated areas and first helping those who have lost loved ones and everything they own and noted AFBF and many state Farm Bureaus are making donations to their long-time partners at America's Second Harvest and other charities to provide immediate food relief.
The organizations have also established their own Hurricane Ag Fund, to help farmers and ranchers in the hurricane zone over the longer term.
The Agricultural Disaster Assistance Act of 2005, a bill sponsored by Conrad, Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., and Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., would provide aid for farmers hammered by Katrina and other disasters and by high energy prices, supporters said.
"Weather-related disaster losses combined with declining commodity prices and skyrocketing energy costs are putting farmers in a financial bind," said National Farmers Union President Dave Frederickson. "This comprehensive disaster legislation is an important step in helping producers cope with circumstances beyond their control."
A University of Missouri study says farmers are paying about 50 percent more for diesel fuel as they head into harvest this year compared to 2004.
"The agricultural sector is looking at significant increases in diesel costs for harvesting and hauling, propane costs for drying grain, and fertilizer costs for fall application," said Lori Wilcox, energy analyst at the MU Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute. "Current diesel prices are about a dollar a gallon above September 2004."
"Farmers and ranchers in North Dakota and the rest of the nation need this legislation to move through Congress quickly," said North Dakota Farmers Union President Robert Carlson said. "We are feeling this pinch now, and need action today."
He estimated a typical North Dakota farm will lose one-third of its farm profits due to the rising costs of fuels.
Harvest is about the worst time for a fuel price increase, according to FAPRI's Wilcox. About 60 percent of the fuel costs for corn production occur at harvest.
For corn, the final cost of production is expected to increase at least $14 an acre while soybean producers' costs will be up at least $5 per acre. Cotton producers will see a $29 per acre increase. "A majority of those increases come from fuel and fertilizer," says Wilcox.

We are pleased to post this guest blog from Thomas A. Shannon. Shannon is professor emeritus of religion and social ethics in the department of humanities and arts at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts.
The terrible tragedy last week in Aurora, CO, ironically just miles from the site of another massacre in Columbine, reveals the power of the gun. In just over a minute, the lives of 12 people were ended and the lives of many others irreversible changed. The fact the guns and the superabundant of ammunition appear to have been purchased legally does little to change the tragedy and surely does little to comfort those dead and wounded. Also whether the person responsible for this is mentally ill or not is beside the point. He had legal possession of guns that were able to do maximum damage.
Though calls for discussion of our gun culture and legislation are being made, it appears to be part of common wisdom that politicians are either unable or unwilling to challenge the power of the NRA. Whenever a politician suggests some change to gun legislation, he or she is immediately subject to the threat of not being reelected. Candidates for public office frequently need to demonstrate their support for guns by hunting or other activities involving the uses of guns. Many people feel the need to bring guns into the college classrooms and even Churches. But to criticize legislation that legitimates such behavior is to bring the wrath of the gun culture down on these people's heads. Countering the NRA and the gun culture that surrounds it is difficult but there are two groups to whom I would issue a challenge to do so: The Franciscans and the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops. These two groups do not face reelection issues and are moderately independent of the usual pressures brought to bear on those opposing the gun culture. But there are more specific reasons for these two groups to step forward.
Francis of course preached peace in his own troubled times. During a Crusade, he sought out one of the Sultans to preach to him and seek peace. But more significantly when Francis established his Third Order of laypeople seeking to follow his way of life, one of the stipulations he made was that they should not carry weapons. This was quite a radical proposal for his day but it did prove effective in helping to diminish some of the violence at that time. Because of their history, the Franciscans stand in a unique place to begin preaching peace and to take leadership in opposing a gun culture. Francis said that the Friars should begin and end their sermons with the words "The Lord give you his peace." Perhaps this could the basis for their preaching and for a public campaign to seek peace by countering the gun culture.
The USCCB is also in a unique place to begin a national campaign against gun violence. The Conference has many times demonstrated the ability to mount national campaigns that involved each diocese and parish of the country. They have distributed through various media pamphlets and other resources to provide the foundation for such campaigns. And the Bishops for decades have been promulgating a pro-life message. How much more pro-life could one be than to support gun control legislation? Would it not be wonderful to see a pastoral letter on the problems with our gun culture? Would it not be important for the bishops to ask us to hold hands, not weapons?
Both of these groups have the independence that is necessary to begin such a discussion and serious debate on gun control. They do not serve at the pleasure of an electorate and they both have deep resources within their traditions to address many aspect of the problems associated with the gun culture. Someone needs to stand up to this pressure and these two groups have the independence and resources to begin this discussion.
This is not intended as an anti-gun rant or a discussion on the interpretation of the Second amendment to the Constitution. It is not an anti-hunting or anti-target shooting screed. I live in a county where people hunt and most of those people use what they kill for food or take it to food pantries where the meat is distributed. We have a young man from our county on the Olympic skeet shooting team. Many young people learn to shoot on the high school shooting club. They learn to hunt from their parents or other relatives. But they also treat their guns with respect and use them for sport.
What we are seeing in the larger gun culture is close to an idolatry of weapons, particularly weapons that have no use in sport or hunting. Why is it necessary to be able to purchase an assault weapon? Why is it necessary to bring a gun to a classroom or a church? As long as victories for the gun culture such as the one in Aurora continue, we all stand in significant danger. I hope that the Franciscans and the USCCB will take up the challenge to begin a serious discussion on gun control so we may all live in peace.
It is about protection of oneself. God ordained self defense, and the Second Amendment recognizes the right to protect the integrity of one's body and spirit from criminals on one level and an overreaching government on another.
The right to keep and bear arms is ultimately our last protection against tyrannical government. I don't need a semi automatic rifle to hunt deer. I need it to be on equal footing with the government. The only logical reading of the Constitution is that one. Otherwise, it collapses under the weight of illogic and fallacy.
And finally, assault rifles are already illegal. I can not buy an M-16, which is fully automatic, mutliple bullets with one pull of the trigger. By definition, an assault rifle has that capability. I can only buy a semi-automatic which is one bullet per pull of the trigger.
James Holmes did have a gun. Unlike certain 13th century sultans, he was not impressed by the peaceful witness of the law-abiding audience which had voluntarily disarmed itself, and he methodically set about to kill as many of them as he could, without fear for his own life. Even though there were armed police on-site at the complex who responded to the theater almost immediately, Holmes had ample time to kill 12 people and seriously injure dozens more. In this case he chose to use a gun, but he could have killed just as many with a gas can and a match.
And the only reason why he was able to commit mass murder is because his victims were completely unarmed, like the good little Franciscans that Mr. Shannon wanted them to be.
It's long. But thorough.
As I just replied to this question on the other OP on this topic, the answer is guns both cause and prevent deaths. If one wants to take a side on this then they should be prepared with facts to back up their point of view. Here are a couple of links to those who defend gun rights or information on the values of allowing citizens to carry guns.
Whether these are valid measures of the vaule of controlling guns or allowing guns is what should be debated.
Your comments about us "good little Franciscans" notwithstanding...
Turning this movie theater into some Wild West shootout from yesteryear would likely have created more confusion, certainly more shooting and perhaps more deaths, being that the theater was dark and full of the smoke/gas released by the perpetrator.
Imagine if everyone HAD brought their guns into this crowded, dark, smoke-filled theater...I simply don't see Holmes being brought down cleanly. I imagine panicked random shooting, poorly aimed shots, multiple crossfires, and more victims. I imagine a legal nightmare of trying to match the bullets to the victims.
And I imagine more than one law-abiding citizen's life destroyed when he discovers it was his weapon that killed a 9 year old kid, or maimed a 30 year old man for life.
If this is the sort of thing we're talking about - or, rather, the sort of thing we should be talking about - a knee-jerk movement to further oppression is pouring gasoline onto smouldering coals.

Mt. Airy resident Andrew Gerson, 29, is the chef and owner of Strada Pasta, a gourmet food truck, and the driving force behind the Philadelphia Mobile Food Association (PMFA), a new organization attempting to change the landscape for food trucks and carts in the city.
To many people, the mention of a food truck conjures up an old metal hunk that sells sandwiches, hot dogs and Italian sausages. It is exactly this idea of a 'roach coach' that Gerson wants to dispel. "There's a real growth in the food truck sector, especially the gourmet part," he explained. "There's a Thai truck coming; you have L.O.S. (Lucky Old Souls) Burgers that do gourmet burgers, Chewy's that also does gourmet burgers, Pitruco Pizza and Nomad Pizza that are doing high-end Neapolitan pizzas in a brick oven, and my concept for Strada Pasta is to be doing all local, sustainable, handmade pasta dishes."
Food trucks are undergoing a bit of a renaissance right now "because it provides food access. It's a new communal way of eating, and it's on the go. It allows you quick access; not a lot of people have time to sit down. With the growth of a lot of these gourmet trucks, you can get a pretty decent meal between $7 and $12 and in a shorter time frame than a restaurant."
Philadelphia isn't the only city experiencing this growth. Austin, Portland, and Los Angeles also have a really strong mobile food industry. Gerson should know: he wrote his thesis at Skidmore College on how food trucks can be used to promote sustainable agriculture in urban environments. "It increases neighborhood vitality and the sense of community and creates food access, especially in underprivileged areas without access to good food, and those are things PMFA would like to tackle."
The impetus behind the formation of PMFA was what Gerson encountered when he started his own food truck. "The more I spoke to people, the more it seemed there were a lot of difficulties, and there was a lot of support for these ideas [of an association]. It's a way to talk about the issues. Where one truck would have difficulty going to City Council and being heard, this was a way to create a communal voice and to share resources and help each other out.
"Philadelphia is a tough city for mobile food. There's been a lot of legislation that doesn't allow for growth of the sector. Center city is very difficult to vend in, if at all, so we've been talking to the parks and recreation department. They opened up Love Park last year to vendors that's been a huge success creating food access and providing small businesses the opportunity to grow. But in other areas it's very difficult to vend. We're in discussion with Parks & Rec to hopefully open up more parks in the city. There's also a moratorium from midnight to 7 a.m. that doesn't allow trucks to operate, which is prime time for the bar scene."
Currently, Gerson estimates there are about 500 food trucks and carts operating in the city, with many more carts than trucks. Most food trucks are near colleges such as Penn, Temple and Drexel. Gerson envisions getting more access to the downtown business crowd by grouping trucks together.
The association is also focusing on lobbying efforts to change existing legislation, and is in the process of forming a 501(c)6 that would give them the ability to lobby. Their first event was the Philly Craft Beer Festival on March 3. They had five trucks at the festival, which was attended by 3500. Every truck sold out all of its food.
Gerson is also working on helping "truckers" with more practical matters such as obtaining financing for truck renovations and getting group insurance rates for members. The association also has a website that it uses to provide information to members about financing, legislation, a rough map of food truck locations in the city, etc.
Apart from PMFA, Gerson is also running Strada Pasta. Why would a college graduate with a master's degree in gastronomy and food communications from the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Italy and experience in a "slew of restaurants" want to start a food truck?
"It's the entrepreneurial spirit, the ability to run things the way you want to run it, on a slightly smaller scale. There are difficulties with both a truck and a restaurant, but I think it's the ability to communicate with your consumers in a way you don't really have in restaurants as a chef. Being able to gauge reaction, a truck seems like a more dynamic interface with the consumer … And since the operating costs are lower with a truck, you can purchase better products and still meet your price points."
This enterprising Mt. Airy resident sees beyond just creating a presence downtown. "We intend to work with Mt. Airy USA and other organizations to help bring more trucks up here. L.O.S. Burger truck has been attending the Chestnut Hill Farmers Market with success. There is definitely potential for trucks in this area."

Magglio Ordonez of the Detroit Tigers Officially Retires
Detroit Tigers fans remembered the career of Magglio Ordonez Sunday, when he officially announced his retirement.
Detroit fans had a chance to celebrate his stellar career in a ceremony before the Tigers hosted the New York Yankees. Among the highlights was a video tribute that included Ordonez's pennant-winning home run in Game 4 of the 2006 AL championship series.
"Big hit after big hit, leadership qualities," general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "We'll also always smile — in 2006, in that fourth game of the ALCS — when we see that ball going over the left-field fence, for one of the biggest hits in Detroit Tigers history."
The 38-year-old Ordonez finishes his career with a .309 average over 15 seasons with Detroit and the Chicago White Sox. His 294 homers are the second-most by a Venezuela-born player, trailing only Andres Galarraga's 399.
In 2007, the year after his ALCS homer eliminated Oakland, he became the first Tiger to win the batting title in 46 years. He hit .363 that year — the highest average by a Detroit player since 1937 — with 28 home runs, 54 doubles and 139 RBIs.
"I'm happy. I'm at peace," Ordonez said at a news conference shortly before the on-field ceremony. "I think the way that I left the game was the right way. I went to the playoffs, I did good 15 years in the big leagues, playing at a good level. I'm really proud."
Ordonez had family in attendance at his announcement, along with Dombrowski, Detroit owner Mike Ilitch and Tigers manager Jim Leyland.
"As a manager, one of your biggest thrills is to watch the best players in the world play the game, and I can't tell Magglio what a treat it was for me to have watched him play on a daily basis," Leyland said, choking up as he spoke. "I think the best thing that I can say to Magglio is, a manager has players over the years, and not all of them become friends, but you've become a friend."
Ordonez was hitting .303 in July 2010 when he broke his right ankle sliding into home. He needed surgery, and although he played in 92 games last year, he hit a career-worst .255 with only five homers. Detroit won the AL Central, but Ordonez fractured his ankle again during the playoffs.
He and the Tigers parted ways, and that ended up being it for his career.
"I knew it wasn't going to be easy to sign another contract. Two fractured ankles, my age," Ordonez said. "I got in good shape, but I didn't receive any offer, any nice offer, to come back to the big leagues. Only minor leagues."
Although Ordonez may be best remembered for his pennant-winning homer and batting title with Detroit, he became a star with the White Sox. He made his debut with them in 1997, and from 1999-2003, he hit .312, averaging 32 homers and 118 RBIs per season.
"They signed me when I was 17 years old and they always gave me a chance to play. If it wasn't for the White Sox, I wouldn't be here 15 years," Ordonez said. "The fans always support me, the organization, too. They were great to me."
Ordonez was limited to 52 games in 2004 because of calf and knee problems, and he signed with the Tigers after that season. He had injury problems again in 2005, but when 2006 started, both he and his new team were ready for a resurgence.
Dressed in a suit and sunglasses, Ordonez made the long walk in from right field during his pregame ceremony, waving to fans along the way.
By then, Leyland had already set the tone.
"I thank you for all the wonderful things you did for me, all the respect you showed me and all the respect you showed your teammates," the veteran manager said, his voice cracking. "You'll be missed. I love you."

Make This Now: Olive Oil Cake With Tangerine Marmalade
Get the Recipe
I spoke to my mother on the phone the other day. She was in New York, where it was so cold "your nose hairs freeze the second you step outside." Still, she's ever the optimist about weather and she ended the call by saying, "Well, we're getting there." (There being spring.) I held myself back from pointing out that we're still months away, but in my heart of hearts, I knew that I needed to do something to keep myself from getting depressed over the months of winter that still lie ahead.
Here's what I'm going to do: get excited over citrus. Load up my shopping cart with Cara Cara, Blood, and Mandarin oranges. Add in grapefruit and tangerines and start cooking.
Here's a great use for those tangerines (or really any citrus). A moist olive oil cake is topped with a homemade tangerine marmalade that captures the bright, perky essence of the fruit. With each slice, at least your taste buds will be transported to warmer climes.

The third and final debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney occurred on Monday, October 22. Today, Rasmussen released the results of its latest three-day poll of the race. It was taken during the three days following the debate.
According to the poll, Romney leads Obama by 3 points, 50-47. This result reflects essentially no change from the poll Rasmussen reported on the day of the debate. Romney led that one by 49-47. Thus, the Rasmussen results suggest, and we expected, that the debate did not alter the race.
The same picture emerges from Gallup's polling. Gallup uses seven-day rolling averages, so its results still encompasses pre-debate data.
Today's Gallup result has Romney up by 5 points, 51-46. Its last poll that did not include post-debate results had Romney ahead by that same count.
Obama, as we know, came after Romney pretty hard in the second and third debates. It did him no good. What, other than pulling a late October or early November suprise, can Obama do at this point to move the needle? I can't think of anything.
In my next post I'll consider whether Obama can win without moving the popular vote needle.

HAL: Affirmative, Dave. I read you.
Dave: Open the pod bay doors, Hal.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Well, the exact same thing happened to me – for three full days last week!. It was awful. Well, not awful, but strange. And it wasn't "exactly" the same as the movie, but if you ever experienced it, I'm sure you might feel the same way I did.
My Internet connection went down last week after my formerly trustworthy RCA modem went renegade on me. Not all at once – he was much sneakier than that. Over a span of two weeks, he slowed a bit more each day. Each time I tapped a command button, the computer's progress spinner whirled a few more times than usual before it brought up the page I wanted. Then it would stall, continue, then stall again.
I called Comcast. I tapped through their voice protocols: verified the last four digits of my phone number; clicked that I had a service problem; distinguished that my problem was with my high-speed Internet connection. The auto-voice suggested disconnecting the power source and reconnecting after 30 seconds.
Did that. No improvement. Called again. "Would you like us to send a 'refresh'" signal." Yes, I clicked. No improvement though. Tried this process several more times. No go. Called and clicked option 4 for a "specialized account representative" (their confusing way of saying "service technician"). A young man answered in a courteous, knowledgeable manner.
After several minutes of discussion, he declared my modem dead. My choices: Take its carcass to 4400 Wayne Ave. by 6 p.m., request that a service technician come to my home (this was a Tuesday, earliest appointment would be next Monday); or have it mailed to me overnight. Though the replacement modem is free, overnight shipping via UPS would cost $29.95.
At first I balked at the price. But it was 5:15 p.m., and I didn't think I could drive to the Comcast customer service depot by 6. Waiting till Monday for home service was out of the question. I earn my living via the Internet – between my writing and my used book business. Very well, I'd pay the shipping fee. It would arrive tomorrow. I'd take a night off the Internet. Read a book. Watch some telly. Can't be too hard, right?
And it wasn't 'hard'. But it was strange. As is so often the case, you are not aware of how your surroundings affect you until you're removed from them. I put down the phone after making arrangements with the Comcast representative. It was early evening. Soon dinner was over and I wanted news of the world. Where could I go? I don't watch television news because the networks seem biased, sensationalistic, shallow, and too many beats behind the Internet. Worse, the TV presents news items sequentially. One has to watch and listen through many stories to get to the ones he's interested in, which may not be covered in that particular broadcast.
It was then 7 p.m. The newspapers would not appear in my driveway till morning. I read the Inquirer and the Times, but not for news as such. The "news" is outdated by the time the paper arrives. No, I read newspapers for their features and their columnists (ahem). And I enjoy an aspect of their presentation shared with the Internet: The information is not bound into a time sequence. One can read Section D, for example, before reading A or B.
Besides the news, I missed the daily progress reports I get from my book market websites. Every day I check my writings' sales records with CreateSpace and Kindle. I look at my (meager) financial accounts. I go to the website where I sell old books online to see if I have orders to fill.
I check sports scores. I look at my Free Library account to see if a requested book has come in. I give a look-see at several professional bookselling websites and a few writing and publishing sites. I read a few friends' blogs. I check Facebook for messages and news. I look at my own blog to see if I've had "hits."
I felt cut off from the flow, but what the heck, 24 hours is not critical. The following day we waited for the UPS man in brown to show up. At 3:30 he pulled up and came up to the house carrying a huge (14 x 20 x 23 inch !) cardboard box. "Sounds empty," he said to my wife, shaking it.
And it was, I discovered when I returned home at 5:30 p.m. The round of calls to Comcast started over. Again, I talked to another polite, sympathetic young man. He was quite apologetic. Too late to drive to 4400 Wayne Ave. by 6. Please send it by overnight mail (again). Of course, he agreed, there should be no additional charge.
Another day without Internet. I wanted to call for a haircut appointment, but forgot my barber's number. Normally I'd look for it on the Internet at the shop's website. I found an old telephone directory in a closet, since we rarely use them anymore. (For one thing, the fonts now are incredibly small. I must strain to read them in a strong light.) One more way in which I've become Internet dependent.
On Thursday the package did not arrive. Another round of calls with Comcast. According to their records, "Your Next-Day package is scheduled to ship two days from now." I called the UPS tracking number anyway. Their automated voice told me that they had not received the item from the shipper yet. Another night of peace and quiet, away from the Internet. But maybe an important email had arrived a few days ago. Maybe someone had ordered a book we had for sale. Nothing but dead air from the Gilmores if anyone tried to reach us.
First thing Friday morning I drove to the Comcast center, a 20-minute drive from Chestnut Hill. After an interminable two-minute wait, I walked out with a new modem, given to me through one of those revolving two-inch-thick, bullet-proof revolving glass portals. At home, I plugged the three cables in. Within a minute we were all back in the spaceship cruising through the cosmos, heading toward eternity, our fingers nimbly tapping out our destinies.
The UPS truck arrived at dinner time Friday with another modem. I'm tempted to hold it hostage for a while – until my $29.95 speedy overnight delivery charges are refunded.

text: DALLAS (AP) President Barack Obama, resisting calls to visit the U.S.-Mexico border, met Wednesday with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and other officials to discuss the influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America that has become a political liability for the president and a test of his administration's competence.Obama and Perry, a Republican who may seek the White House in 2016, had a businesslike encounter at the steps of Air Force One before the private meeting. The president was expected to make remarks following the discussion.The roundtable in Dallas is seen by the White House as a way to address the immigration issue while avoiding awkward optics at the border. Tens of thousands of unaccompanied children have arrived there in recent months, many fleeing violence in Central America, but also drawn by rumors that they can stay in the U.S. White House officials say most are unlikely to qualify for humanitarian relief and will be sent back to their home countries.Obama arrived in Dallas early Wednesday evening. He bounded down the stairs and gave Perry a big wave. Perry didn't wave back, but the two shook hands and then quickly turned and walked toward Marine One, the helicopter that would take them to the round-table meeting. Obama put his hand on Perry's back for some of the walk.Obama's decision to skip a border visit is likely to provide more fodder for the Republicans and the handful of Democrats who say the president hasn't responded quickly and forcefully enough to the mounting crisis.Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, raised the prospect that Obama's failure to take a firsthand look at the border crisis could be akin to former President George W. Bush viewing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina from the air instead of on the ground."I'm sure that President Bush thought the same thing, that he could just look at everything from up in the sky, and then he owned it after a long time," Cuellar said on Fox News. "So I hope this doesn't become the Katrina moment for President Obama, saying that he doesn't need to come to the border. He should come down."Perry, a possible GOP presidential candidate in 2016, has been scathing in his criticism of Obama, saying the White House has failed to respond to his repeated warnings about a flood of minors at the border."I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from," Perry said Sunday.Even immigrant advocates, who say Obama's response has been too focused on enhancing enforcement and deportation, said he would benefit from witnessing the influx first hand."It would have been nice for him to see and speak to some of these children and some of these mothers with children who've come to find out first hand why they're coming," Michelle Brane, director of migrant rights and justice at the Women's Refugee Commission, said Wednesday. "I think that would make a difference in how he sees this problem."Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said the White House wasn't worried about the optics of the president traveling to Texas without visiting the border. Officials also pointed to Obama's request to Congress on Tuesday for additional resources at the border as a sign of the president's engagement in the crisis.If approved by Congress, the funding would go to increase detention, care and transportation of unaccompanied children, help speed the removal of adults with children by increasing the capacity of immigration courts, and increase prosecution of smuggling networks. The money also would help increase surveillance at the border and help Central American countries repatriate border-crossers sent back from the United States.Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill seemed open to the emergency spending request. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Senate would act on it this month.But Republicans criticized Obama for pulling back on plans to pursue legal changes that would allow the administration to send the minors back to Central America more quickly. The proposals had infuriated immigrant advocates, who say the changes could result in harsh treatment of kids and eliminate their legal protections."He just decided not to do that because of the pushback he got from some in his own political base," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. "We need to solve the problem, but you don't need to just ignore the cause of the current crisis. And that requires more than just appropriating $3.7 billion for additional judges and the like."___Associated Press writer Jim Kuhnhenn contributed to this report.___Follow Julie Pace on Twitter at http://twitter.com/jpaceDC

WJGreer necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 122 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
Combine the hooky edge of alternative rock, the grooving rhythm of funk, the easy attitude of reggae, and the innovation of electronic music. Stir well and cook, very hot. This is the sonic recipe for Colorado-based Fina Dupa and their new album "Are You Happy...Now?"
Fina Dupa projects a distinct musical brand. The players are highly trained and musically literate, and the music carries a degree of sophistication - much like Steely Dan of the 70s, the Police of the 80s, and the Dave Matthews band today. The songs are radio-friendly, yet carry a degree of unpredictability, making every live show different. This band is, above all other things, interesting.
Music samples are available at http://www.finadupa.com.
Fina Dupa primarily targets the age 35-50 audience range, with overlap into the 20-35 range. We appeal to the same people who enjoy good food and good wine, who spend time outdoors, and who are likely to spend disposable time and income enjoying the arts. They also might act a little naughty when nobody is looking. Our music, brand, and designs appeal intellectually and artistically, and are relaxing and fun.
The upcoming album, "Are You Happy...Now?" addresses the life cycle of love relationships and explores lots of good and bad things that can happen when we find someone. Songs like "Tease", "Casita", and "Helicopter" illustrate the emotion that drives the beginning of a relationship. "Saturday", "You Turn Me On", and "Almazul" look at the ups and downs of a relationship in action, and "Fallout", "Broke Again", and "Heartache" look at the downstream effects of a relationship gone wrong. The songs range from upbeat funk to cool R&B.
Images for the CD cover and back should reflect happiness as an unpredictable and fleeting emotion, and in more of a cynical than sunny way. Here are a few potential concepts, but please do not feel bound by this list:
- A field of spheres or shapes, suggesting a world full of people, with a subtle smile on only one of them. See upload.
- A creative presentation of two people who either are or aren't getting along; maybe both
- A satirical or sarcastic suggestion that happiness can be obtained externally, possibly subbing "RU" for "Are You" in the album name to indicate a prescription.
No guidelines on use of photography, digital image, or otherwise. Let's see what ideas you have; we have no preconceived notions.
We will use the designs in a standard CD cover application. So please use 12 cm x 12 cm (4.75 inches x 4.75 inches) as the measurement.
Multiple awards are possible.

There has been a lot of talk about Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson's contract situation, and for good reason. He's paid like a premier running back but performs erratically.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday that the Titans owe Johnson $10 million next season, including $9 million that's guaranteed if he's on the roster on the fifth day of the new league year. So the Titans won't wait long before needing to make a decision.
Mr. Rapsheet says Tennessee's decision could surprise a lot of people. Titans sources, as well as sources who had spoken to Johnson, believe he will be back with the Titans next season. Even though Johnson is a boom-or-bust back, he's still the biggest name on a young offense that has some potential next season, with wide receivers Kenny Britt and Kendall Wright growing up. The Titans believe Johnson will help sell tickets and want to keep him. Some of his struggles this year have been attributed to a banged-up offensive line.
Johnson's game Monday night against the New York Jets was typical. He had a 94-yard touchdown but gained just 28 yards on his other 20 carries. Then again, that 94-yard touchdown was the difference in the game. That's a tradeoff the Titans sound ready to live with next year.

Hi all,
FreeNAS needs some big modification for removing its present limitation (one of the biggest is the non support of easly users add-ons).
We think that a full-rewriting of the FreeNAS base is needed. From this idea, we will take 2 differents paths:
- Volker will create a new project called "'OpenMediaVault" based on a GNU/Linux using all its experience acquired with all its nights and week-ends spent to improve FreeNAS during the last 2 years. He still continue to work on FreeNAS (and try to share its time with this 2 projects).
- And, a great surprise:Â iXsystems, a company specialized in professional FreeBSD offers to take FreeNAS under their wings as an open source community driven project. This mean that they will involve their professionals FreeBSD developers to FreeNAS! Their manpower will permit to do a full-rewriting of FreeNAS.

With Lions defensive backs continuing to drop like flies, Detroit has signed one cornerback while putting another one on injured reserve.
Ron Bartell, who was cut by the Raiders last week, was picked up by the Lions today. That move came at the same time that the Lions placed cornerback Jacob Lacey, who suffered a knee injury on Sunday, on injured reserve.
Bartell started for the Raiders in Week One, then suffered an injury that caused him to miss the next nine weeks, then returned for Week Ten and started five more games before the Raiders cut him. He signed in Oakland this year after spending five seasons with the Rams, who took him in the second round of the 2005 NFL draft.
A Detroit native, Bartell will now get to spend the holidays at home.

An image sensor is a device that converts a visual image to an electric signal, which is used mostly in digital cameras and other imaging devices. It is a set of charge-coupled device (CCD) or active-pixel sensors (APS) like CMOS sensors. The pixel responds to the light by accumulating charges - the more light, the more charge. Thereby the optical signal is transformed into an electric signal, which gets converted into digial information. Compared to CCD, CMOS sensors are faster, smaller, and cheaper as they are more integrated, which makes them also more power efficient.
In several process flows, the completed CIS wafers get initially bonded onto a glass wafer for subsequent silicon thinning and back-side processing. This glass wafer can act as optical filter and is frequently bonded with patterned adhesive frames as an intermediate layer to avoid adhesive contact of the active pixel area. Several techniques like TSV (through silicon via) exist to feed the electrical contacts from the active front side to the back-side of the device.EV Group provides the equipment for adhesive application (spin and spray coating), patterning (optical lithography) and mechanically aligned or optically aligned bonding. Both thermally and UV curable adhesives are supported.

Twenty-six parties have agreed to help clean up the Great Lakes Container Corp. Site in Coventry, R.I.
Under the settlement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the settling parties will further investigate and remove soil contaminated with hazardous substances at a cost of about $2 million. The parties will reimburse EPA $200,000 for its site investigation costs and pay for its oversight of the soil removal work.
The 27-acre site, located at 592 Arnold Road, is bordered by Lake Tiogue, undeveloped woodlands, residential properties and Coventry Landfill. From about 1961 to 1980, a series of companies ran a drum reconditioning business at the site. The drum reconditioning companies accepted drums containing waste chemical and oil residues. During the reconditioning process, the companies cleaned drums of the residues and disposed of them at the site.
Between 1982 and 2005, EPA investigated and confirmed the presence of volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, metals, pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated biphenyls.
The agreement went into effect June 8.
The 26 settling parties include:

Thus far in our Joomla 3.0 testing, we have created a new article and published it to the front page. When we visit this new article in our browser, the url becomes:
As we set the title of the article to, "This is my first test article", Joomla used the article's title as the alias. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to change this alias. The steps below walk through this process after you have already published the article, but you can easily set this option while you're writing the article for the first time.
Setting an article's alias in Joomla 3.0:
- Log into your Joomla 3.0 dashboard
- In the top menu, click Content and then click Article Manager.
- In the list of articles, click on the title of the article that you would like to change the alias for
- In the top menu, click Publishing Options. You will then see the Alias shown. Make the adjustments that you would like, and then click Save in the top left menu.
When you visit your article again by navigating to it from your Joomla 3.0 homepage, you will see that the URL has changed. In our testing, we changed the alias from this-is-my-first-test-article to new-alias-goes-here.

Hello Joseph,
Sorry for the problem with your Joomla aliases. It appears that this particular issue was discussed and resolved in the Joomla forums. Check out this discussion and see if it doesn't address the situation that you are encountering.
Kindest regards,

Without an extension, the only way to remove the article id is to create a menu item leading to the article. Once you have done this, the id will disappear, and will also get rid of the leading category URL.
Example before: www.yourdomain.com/category/12-cool-post
Example before: www.yourdomain.com/cool-post
IMO this is much better for seo, unless you need the subcategories displayed

I am trying to change a Category page to a Single Article and attach it to a new parent. I've followed all the steps, including creating a menu item, selecting the article, etc. However the URL keeps grabbing a portion of the page physically "before" it. I hope this makes sense. So the new page I'm trying to establish should be http://www.micollegeaccess.org/about/newsroom but it keeps appear as http://www.micollegeaccess.org/about/webinar-recordings/newsroom. The "webinar records" is a web page that is attached to a completedly different parent page. I don't know how to prevent this, but it's done it every time I try to revise the original Newsroom category page to a Newsroom article.

Hello Lisa,
Without being able to see what is going on within the dashboard it is not possible to give a definitive answer. As a shot in the dark, you may want to rebuild the categories to see if that helps.
If you want us to poke around and you feel comfortable with that, you can email the admin username and password to email@example.com. We can then take a look at your actual setup. If you do that, please comment back here with the subject of the email so we can find it as we get thousands of emails a day.
Kindest Regards,

Hello Fazia,
To remove the courses category form the URL you will need to create a menu item of the type 'article'. From there you can also set the alias for the article. Also, on the same page, there is a 'select article' field. For that field, enter the article you wish to display.

How do you get rid of those annoying numbers in the page url. Take a look at this page url for instance:
I tried the above steps but somehow those numbers 8 and 2 still show up out of nowhere. Thanks

To do so, all you have to do is edit your template file located at:
components/com_content/router.php located within your template's HTML folder, and change this line:
$advanced = $params->get('sef_advanced_link', 0);
To this:
$advanced = $params->get('sef_advanced_link', 1);
Once complete, you should see that your URLs have changed.

LONDON — A British man on Friday won a High Court challenge of his conviction for tweeting that he would blow up an airport if his flight was canceled, a ruling that had made him an Internet free-speech cause celebre.
Paul Chambers, 28, was convicted and fined 385 pounds ($605) in 2010 over the tweet that he would blow up Robin Hood Airport in northern England, which he insisted was a joke. Thousands of Twitter supporters retweeted Chambers' message after he was convicted with the tag "I Am Spartacus" — a reference to the 1960 movie epic in which the titular hero's fellow rebels all assume his identity in a gesture of solidarity.
His lawyer had argued before the High Court that if his tweet was considered menacing, then William Shakespeare could have been convicted for quipping, "Let's kill all the lawyers," in his play, "Henry VI."
High Court judges on Friday overturned Chambers' conviction, saying there was no evidence to suggest that anyone who saw the tweet found it to be menacing or alarming.
"I am relieved, vindicated — it is ridiculous it ever got this far," Chambers said after the verdict.
U.K. celebrities such as broadcaster Stephen Fry and comedian Al Murray had also voiced their support for Chambers.

Now in its sixth year, the NMCA's Chevrolet Performance LSX Shootout in Indianapolis has become the premier event for LS-powered rides to slug it out down the 1320. Making the event even larger is the fact that the LS mayhem is mixed in with the NMCA World Street Finals, which is open to any car ready for some serious drag racing action. As proof that LS-powered cars haven't peaked yet, several records were smashed and two LSX drag radial entrants blasted into the 6s.
In addition to the all the drag racing there were jet cars, burnout contests, a vendors midway, car show, and used parts swap meet. For the LS cars there were a ton of classes including Drag Radial, All Motor, Real Street, Rumble (index), Fifth-gen Shootout, and the ever popular True Street and LS True Street competitions. This is one of the events we always look forward, too, and it's obvious that this three-day affair has a little something for everyone.
In addition to racing, there were a host of other things going on at the event including, burnout contests, a swap meet, and a car show. The event featured a vendors midway chock full of hot new speed parts. We were really drooling over this new twin-disc Quarter Master LS clutch.

I'm either crazy or ambitious, I haven't decided which category best describes my impulsive race registration from this past Wednesday.
It all started with a run. Or rather, a run that wasn't going to happen. I was technically supposed to cross train that day, but I couldn't help myself. I could practically hear the pavement calling for my feet to come hit it. So I did.
I took the dog, but left my iPod at home. I wanted to be able to hear my breathing, and increase or decrease my pace based on how I was feeling. I ran my usual route along the Wisconsin River, which ends up being about 3 miles when all is set and done.
The run felt incredible. I could tell I was pushing it, but my legs and lungs were up for the challenge. I didn't miss my usual music mixes, and enjoyed being more aware of my surroundings and in the moment.
By the time I got back home, I was riding a wave of endorphins. I plugged in my Garmin and, low and behold, I ran a 9:29/mi pace. That would be my fastest run thus far! Prior to that day, my fastest was a 9:51/mi.
This is where the crazy vs. ambitious debate comes into play! Feeling pretty good about myself, I decided that I couldn't wait till September to run my half. What did I do? I signed up for another half that I'll run in New York over Memorial Day weekend in May. Because one just isn't enough! Oh and did I mention that the week before I'll be graduating from college, packing my life into a U-Haul, and moving to NYC?
I'd like to say I'm ambitious. The event is one of the Holiday Marathon races put on for free, and you can choose the distance you'd like to run. I am looking at this as a trial to test my training, and to better prepare myself for the race in September. This is my way of dipping my big toe into the racing pool!
Have you experienced an endorphin-high after a run or a good workout?
Ever sign up for a race on impulse? If yes, how did that go?
