EDITORIAL: Sponsors can't afford to tolerate Russia's anti-gay games
The International Olympic Committee is letting Russia off far too easy. Russia has argued nonsensically that its new anti-gay law is in keeping with the Olympic Charter's protections against discrimination, and the IOC simply has accepted it.
The law, approved by the Russian parliament in June, prohibits "propaganda" in support of "nontraditional" sexual relationships. This means virtually any expression of homosexual love, or approval of or information about homosexuality. Russians face fines; foreigners, deportation. But this is not discrimination, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak claimed in a letter to the IOC, because the law applies equally to gay and straight people.
The IOC said this incredible explanation amounts to "strong written reassurances from the Russian government that everyone will be welcome at the Games in Sochi regardless of their sexual orientation."
That's not the issue, though. Being gay hasn't been illegal in Russia since 1993 — even if being openly gay is increasingly dangerous. The point is that tolerating homosexuality as long as it is closeted is not a policy of fairness. And, as the sixth fundamental principle of Olympism has it: "Any form of discrimination with regard to a country or a person on grounds of race, religion, politics, gender or otherwise is incompatible with belonging to the Olympic Movement."
In their desire to get on with preparations for the games, IOC officials may think it best to downplay their ability to influence the politics of host countries. But given that governments often host the Olympics in order to improve their reputations, the committee wields considerable power.
IOC pressure on South Korea's military dictatorship helped bring about democratic elections before the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul. Ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the IOC pressed China to drop its law requiring foreign journalists to get government permission before interviewing Chinese citizens.
Now, the IOC should be telling Russia to revoke its anti- gay law in order to conform with the Olympic Charter and remain the host of the Winter Games. As the committee has so far shown no such inclination, sponsors of the Olympics and television networks that plan to cover the event ought to push. Otherwise, come February, they may find themselves in an embarrassing mess.
The Russians already have used their new law to deport Dutch filmmakers for trying to make a documentary about gay rights in Russia. If openly gay New Zealand speed skater Blake Skjellerup talks about a boyfriend in an interview with NBC, will that crew be deported as well? To avoid the risk, will broadcasters evade the whole subject of homosexuality? That would make them complicit in Russia's discriminatory policies.
Unless the IOC acts, sponsors such as Coca-Cola Co., McDonald's Corp. and Visa Inc. will be tied to an officially anti-gay Olympics.
Russian authorities have said they will enforce the law on the games' participants and spectators. Perhaps they will put up with female Russian athletes smooching on the medal dais, as they did at the recent IAAF World Athletics Championships in Moscow. Or with rainbows painted on Swedish competitors' fingernails. Perhaps they will not.
In any case, it's not enough to carve out a discrimination-free zone for the Olympic village. The law should be revoked altogether.

the debate on energy
by Barry
Anyone who has ever
operated a baler in a Missouri hay field knows how interconnected things
are today. Should one tiny piece in the intricate machinery of that
baler break, the entire day's operation comes
to a screeching halt.
The same is true
for the nation's energy supply.
Seemingly unrelated events can ripple into major problems that eventually
trickle down to us as consumers.
The recent hurricanes
are a case in point. When the storms hit the Gulf region oil refineries
shut down, shipping was curtailed and the resulting decline in supply
hit consumers hard in the wallet.
A few years ago an
event as simple as a tree rubbing against a transmission line started
a series of events that resulted in a major blackout that left parts
of the East Coast and upper Midwest in the dark.
Low river levels,
disruption of railroad service, terrorist activities, our nation's
reliance on foreign oil and the rising price of natural gas are all potential
problems for energy suppliers. These real and potential events are what
prompted President Bush and Congress to push for passage of the 2005
energy bill. That measure moved energy to the top of the list of
issues our country must deal with.
In December, Gov.
Matt Blunt acknowledged the importance of energy to Missouri and pushed
its debate up a big notch when he appointed an Energy Task Force to
address the state's
growing energy needs.
Energy is critical
to Missouri and our economy is vitally dependent on a low-cost supply
of energy to heat and cool homes, power industry, fuel vehicles for
our many commuters and to keep expenses down for the businesses and
farms. Even though Missouri's
energy situation is better than other states, Gov. Blunt has shown
wisdom by being proactive to identify ways Missouri can continue
our competitive energy position.
By ratcheting up
the debate on energy the governor will identify issues and ensure potential
problems are addressed before they become a crisis. And the nine-member
panel, led by Public Service Commission Chairman Jeff Davis, is more
than up to the task at hand.
Other members
of the panel include Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder, House Speaker Rod Jetton,
Senate President Pro Tem Michael Gibbons, Rep. Rex Rector, Sen. David
Klindt, Public Counsel Lewis Mills, Department of Natural Resources
Director Doyle Childers and Agriculture Director Fred Ferrell.
The governor
has asked them to recommend ways to reduce our state's dependence
on oil, provide help so low-income Missourians can pay their
heating bills and promote new opportunities for the use of renewable
This last task is
one of the most exciting. Legislation has already been introduced,
with the governor's blessing, which
will mandate that all gas sold in Missouri contain at least 10
percent ethanol. This
will help boost Missouri's farmers and
move our state closer to energy independence.
electric cooperatives applaud our governor's initiative
in forming this task force. We believe he has the right
people looking at the problem at the right time. As the task force
meets, your electric cooperative will be well represented in the
energy debate and do whatever we can to help.
Hart is executive vice president of the Association
of Missouri Electric Cooperatives.

McHugh bursts onto the scene with Astros
Righty, who never lost faith in his ability, surprises with two dominating starts
HOUSTON -- Collin McWho?
That was the question on the minds of the majority of Astros fans -- and much of the baseball world -- when journeyman right-hander Collin McHugh struck out 12 batters in 6 2/3 scoreless innings in his first start with Houston on April 22 in Seattle.
McHugh, called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City when ace Scott Feldman got injured, came within one out of throwing a one-hit shutout in his following start Sunday against Oakland, increasing the intrigue and mystery surrounding the 26-year-old.
McHugh will take the ball again Sunday at Minute Maid Park against the Mariners with a 2-0 record and a 0.59 ERA, but the question remains -- who is McHugh?
"I made my debut in August 2012 with the Mets, and from that point on, it's been up and down," he said. "I was up and down with the Mets two or three times. Then I get designated, then get traded [to the Rockies] and go down again, and then designated again and picked up again.
"To be able to come here and immediately have success and have the confidence of the team and the staff, it feels good. I hope I can make it stick here. I would really like to."
McHugh was acquired off waivers from the Rockies in December as an inventory arm, someone to stash at Oklahoma City until there was a need in Houston. That happened when Feldman's shoulder didn't quite feel right following his third start, giving McHugh a shot.
Prior to the start against the Mariners, McHugh was 0-8 with an 8.94 ERA in 15 career Major League games, including nine starts, so there was little reason to believe he'd be as dominant as he's been. He's struck out 19 batters and allowed three walks, one run and five hits in 15 1/3 innings.
McHugh is the third pitcher to win his first two games with Houston and strike out at least 19, joining J.R. Richard in 1971 and Randy Johnson in '98. Pretty lofty company.
"I knew that there were going to be players stepping up this year," Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "Was Collin McHugh at the top of my list of guys that would step up? No. But am I happy? Absolutely. I really think it just goes to show you our scouting department does a great job identifying players."
In fact, the Astros had previously identified McHugh as a player they wanted in a trade with the Mets that never materialized.
"We kept our eye on him, and when he became available, we didn't hesitate to take him," Luhnow said. "Our scouts saw something in him they believed would be successful at the Major League level, and so after two starts, they're proven to be pretty wise. I'm excited about it. It's a great story."
McHugh grew up in a musical family in Georgia, the third of four children of Scott and Teresa McHugh. His older brother and sister, Evan and Eryn, are songwriters in Nashville, Tenn., and his youngest brother, Colby, is a film major at Georgia State University.
"I'm the dumb jock of the family," McHugh joked.
The right-hander has some artistic talents as well. McHugh grew up playing instruments like the clarinet and saxophone, and he has dabbled in the drums and now plays the guitar and ukulele. He also pens a blog, adayolderadaywiser.com, in which he writes about life and baseball.
McHugh pursued a career in baseball after he was drafted in the 18th round by the Mets in 2008 out of NAIA Berry College, where he was a business finance major.
"When I got drafted, I said I was going to give myself five years [to reach the Majors]," McHugh said. "At the end of five years, if I didn't think anything has happened, I don't feel like I'm close, I'll reconsider. I'm not a dumb guy. I could do something. I could finish my degree, get a good job."
McHugh and his wife, Ashley, would take inventory at the end of each season, and it was near the end of the 2012 season -- his fifth in professional baseball -- when he was called up by the Mets. He threw seven scoreless innings, striking out nine, in his Major League debut, only to be sent down the next day. McHugh wound up appearing in eight games that year, making four starts.
"Mentally, what it does to you, I don't know," he said. "You think, 'Am I good enough to keep doing this? Can I keep doing this? Do they have faith in me?' So to kind of battle through that and change roles a bunch of times and go from the bullpen to the rotation and back to the bullpen and then sit, it's been tough."
Tough enough for McHugh to consider throwing in the towel several times.
"Every baseball player at this level thinks about it kind of as a self-defense, self-preservation mechanism," he said. "This game is tough, man. It will get you down. You have it in the back of your mind, 'Can I do something else? Is there anything else I could be doing?' The game can become too big, it becomes too much pressure."
McHugh came to his senses and realized the opportunity to return to the Major Leagues, even though it's a grind, was something worth chasing.
"There's not a lot of better jobs in my opinion," he said. "That's where we are."
With Houston, McHugh has learned to pitch to all four quadrants of the plate to be successful. And now he's pitching with confidence, pitching coach Brent Strom said.
"I think he believes he's good, and that goes a long way for me," Strom said. "Despite the history and his numbers he's had in the past with the Rockies and Mets, I don't think this young man ever lost faith in his ability. He's made some adjustments, and obviously it's shown in these first two games, and hopefully he can keep it going."
McHugh summed up his first 10 days with the Astros as nothing short of a dream.
"In a good way," he said. "Hopefully, in a realistic way, I know what I'm capable of and I know what I can do. So far, it's been a matter of going out and performing. If I can go out there and execute well, I don't see any reason why I can't have some success and help this team win some games."

I'm spending this Day of Archaeology writing up the small assemblage of Roman and medieval small finds and Roman glass from a MOLA excavation on Cheapside in the City of London. It is a bit of a break from the Roman Walbrook sites which have really been at the centre of my working life for the last couple of years.
The Cheapside excavation is an interesting site overall but the finds assemblage is small and not terribly well-preserved and so it makes only a modest contribution to the wider story of the site. The Roman glass is fairly commonplace (mostly 1st-century cast ribbed bowls and 1st-/2nd-century jars and bottle glass) and there are only seven Roman small finds, again mostly common types such as bone hairpins and counters.
See a complete example of a Roman pillar-moulded bowl here.
These objects will help us date the stratigraphic sequence and can tell us a little bit about what was going on in the local area. But the careful records we make mean that these objects can be incorporated into wider projects of finds research based around London more generally and hopefully they will get a second chance to shine in the future. The two hairpins, for example, can be incorporated into a big project on the date, distribution and function of Roman hairpins from Londinium that is currently underway.
The medieval finds are mostly early in date, belonging to the Saxo-Norman period, the first centuries after the walled city was reoccupied. There is some interesting evidence for craft activity such as most of a hemi-spherical crucible with a pinched pouring lip. This is in quite a few pieces now but can be reconstructed by the conservation team to allow it to be illustrated.
See a complete crucible with a similar form but in a slightly different fabric here.
The star piece from the site though has to be a lovely bone 'trial-' or 'motif-piece'. This is a section of rib with carved interlace designs typical of the period. The precise function of these objects is unclear. Some people have argued that they could be used as moulds or formers but it seems more likely that they are a way of practicing or working out designs which can then be executed in other mediums. Similar objects have been found in contemporary contexts at sites such as York and Dublin; there are plenty of other examples from London too but this is a particularly interesting example.
See some more examples here and here.
Writing in 1991, Frances Pritchard noted that most of the trial pieces found in London seemed to come from a fairly restricted area in the western half of the city north of Cheapside. We've found a lot of new examples since then so this morning I spent a bit of a time plotting more recent finds in GIS to see if this pattern still holds true. It seems like the distribution has expanded a little to the area directly across Cheapside to the south and a little to the north in the area at Basinghall Street where there is a recent find and also another older find, not plotted here, from nearby at London Wall. In general, however, the pattern remains strong and more recent excavations near this area have produced large groups of these finds as at Guildhall Yard and No 1 Poultry. The outlier to the south along the waterfront is from a much later 13th century context and was probably redeposited during dumping to expand the waterfront. Overall, the evidence seems to suggest strong quite tightly focused evidence for Saxo-Norman craft activity around Cheapside and the immediate vicinity.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court delayed a decision on whether to accept an appeal from a Georgia death row inmate who has gained international support for his claims of innocence in the the murder of a Savannah police officer two decades ago.
Troy Davis' case has earned the support of leaders including the pope and former President Jimmy Carter.
The justices were scheduled to announce Monday whether they would take the case of Troy Davis, but no order was released. The court is expected to take up the matter again in September.
Last fall, the Supreme Court granted Davis a stay of execution two hours before he was to be put to death. A month later, the justices reversed course and allowed the capital punishment to proceed, but a federal appeals court issued another stay.
The high court's latest delay means Davis will continue to sit on death row. Watch a report on Davis' long fight »
His supporters Monday delivered about 60,000 signatures in petitions to Chatham County, Georgia, District Attorney Larry Chisolm, calling for a new trial.
"This delay is an indication that the Supreme Court is concerned by the gravity of Troy Davis' innocence claims," said Laura Moye, director of Amnesty International USA's Death Penalty Abolition Campaign. "We will continue to call on all authorities, including the Supreme Court, to finally hear the evidence that has motivated hundreds of thousands of people worldwide to raise their voices and demand justice."
Davis has always maintained his innocence in the 1989 killing of Officer Mark MacPhail. Witnesses claimed Davis, then 19, and two others were harassing a homeless man in a Burger King restaurant parking lot when the off-duty officer arrived to help the man. Witnesses testified at trial that Davis then shot MacPhail twice and fled.
But since his 1991 conviction, seven of the nine witnesses against him have recanted their testimony. No physical evidence was presented linking Davis to the killing of the police officer.
The Georgia Pardons and Parole Board last year held closed-door hearings and reinterviewed Davis and the witnesses. The panel decided against clemency.
MacPhail's mother, Annaliese, told CNN at the time, "This is what we were hoping for, and I hope pretty soon that we will have some peace and start our life, especially my grandchildren -- my grandson and granddaughter. It has overshadowed their lives."
After the justices in October refused to grant a stay of execution, Davis' sister, Martina Correia, told CNN she was "disgusted" by the decision.
"It doesn't make any sense," she said. "We are praying for a miracle or some kind of intervention. We will regroup and fight. We will never stop fighting. We just can't be discouraged. The fight is not over 'til it's over."
Ten days after the high court refused last October to intervene, a federal appeals court in Georgia granted a temporary stay of execution. Since then, further appeals by Davis' legal team have dragged on for eight months.
Prominent figures ranging from the pope to the musical group Indigo Girls have asked Georgia to grant Davis a new trial. Other supporters include celebrities Susan Sarandon and Harry Belafonte; world leaders such as former President Jimmy Carter and former Archbishop Desmond Tutu of Cape Town, South Africa; and former and current U.S. lawmakers Bob Barr, Carol Moseley Braun and John Lewis.

Do You Know the Muffin Man? 5 Meals to Make in a Muffin Tin
Muffin Tin Chef came to be when author Matt Kadey was working on a magazine assignment that required him to generate a range of recipes using muffin tins. The only stipulation? No muffins! His research led him to develop 101 recipes to take the at-home chef from morning through dessert, and Kadey discovered that muffin tin meals are a fun and easy way for kids to eat. "Preparing muffin-size items takes advantage of a child's preference for easy-to-grab, hand-to-mouth eating. Personal-size treats such as pizza or mac and cheese are sure to be a hit at the dinner table and in the lunchroom."

Who you gonna call? -Imaging CS6 with Ghost
Update for Sep 13, 2012: The workflow outlined in the Ghost video is no longer relevant when using the final AAMEE 3.1 release which removes the machine-to-licensing which was introduced with CS6. See the blog post AAMEE 3.1…or why puffer fish is a delicacy for more info.
That's right, I've summoned up the ghost of Ray Parker Jr. for a quick post on imaging CS6 with Ghost. What? Wikipedia tells you he is not dead? Fair enough. No offense meant Mr. Parker. Or is that Mr. Parker Jr.? Truth is he had a recording career before and after the Ghostbusters soundtrack but that was his big breakout hit. You can't undue a hit. And maybe this Adobe TV video will be a breakout that our Systems Engineer, Karl Gibson has been looking for. Yes, the "Client Imaging With Symantec's Ghost Suite" video is that good. That is, if you have the need to image CS6 and you are using Ghost. If not, probably about into the fifth minute you will ask yourself: "Why the heck am I watching this?"
This is the third video Karl has made for us around CS6. It's a trilogy. Let us know if you would like us to cover other topics or want Karl to make a prequel. Speaking of prequels, if you need additional guidance on imaging/cloning systems with a CS6 install on them then please check out the previous blog entry "Imaging CS6-Attack of the Clones."
Jody Rodgers | Sr. Product Manager | Enterprise + Volume | Digital Media | Adobe Systems
KACE anyone? How about deploying CS6 using KACE Appliance?
Why would Kace be any different to Ghost? Surely the method is generic and could be applied to any deployment technology.

Green groups oppose easing NY dairy pollution regs
Proposal violates state, federal laws
Environmental groups are pushing back against the Cuomo administration's plan to support a growing yogurt industry by easing regulations on large-scale dairy operations.
The Greek yogurt industry is growing so fast in New York that the state doesn't have enough cows to meet the demand for milk. At a "yogurt summit" in Albany last August, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called Greek yogurt one of the best entrepreneurial opportunities in a generation.
Farms with up to 200 cows are exempt from regulations requiring extra steps to prevent pollution from cow waste. Cuomo proposed raising the limit to 300 cows to help farms expand.
The Sierra Club and other groups filed formal comments Thursday saying Cuomo's proposal violates state and federal clean water laws and would likely result in runoff pollution.

Optional Equipment The Bertram 670 represents the ultimate in marine magnificence. Whether at anchor in Mykonos, Malta, Cabo, Costa Rica, Panama, Italy or cruising to a far-flung Caribbean island at better than 34 knots, she is the envy of all who see her. The Bertram 670 is the crowning achievement of nautical leadership by Bertram Yacht.

Thierry Zoller informed us about four possible privilege escalations in XAMPP for Windows. Thierry, thank you very much for notifying us of this problem.
The problem occurs if the installation path of XAMPP for Windows contains a blank character (like in C:\Program files\XAMPP) and you're creating a file named C:\Program.exe. In this case you will be able (for example) to catch the starting FileZilla service and start your own program (C:\Program.exe) as a service.
To exploit this vulnerability an attacker already needs full access to your C:\ directory to create the needed C:\Program.exe file.
Thierry found three other scenarios within this bug will appear. To find out more details about this problem please take a look into Thierry's Blog.
Update May 9th 2006
The current Windows beta fixes two of the problems based on this bug. We expect the next beta soon which will fix all four problems.
Update May 10th 2006
The new Windows beta now fixes all problems.

Your Final Fantasy VII experience begins with its haunting score, and your Tuesday is about to begin with this A cappella cover of Nobuo Uematsu's The Shinra Corporation.
It should be less intimidating since it's being performed by two dudes and not an evil corporation, but somehow, it ends up being just as oppressive. Maybe it's the flannel.

Hello bigrip, welcome to the forum!
Can you run ls -al commands in your /dev/input and /dev/input/by-id folders, and then copy the result here? I don't need the actual files (and they are virtual files so you could not copy them anyways), I just need to see the names of the files. This might give me ideas as to why rpix86 does not handle the files correctly.
Also, have you tried to start rpix86 with -k0, -k1 or -k2 parameter, to see if one of those would make rpix86 to recognise the keyboard?
Thanks for your interest in rpix86!

|Home >> Picnic-Perfect Photography Tips
Picnic-Perfect Photography Tips
Let's say your friends and family are feasting away outside on a red-and-white checkered tablecloth. A festive photo op, right? But if there's ultra bright sunlight above, or even grey, overcast skies, this could be one photo op that isn't quite the picnic you intended. In this article, Olympus Visionary Lou Manna, who has served as a staff photographer for the New York Times for 15 years, gives us a few tips for making all of our outdoor celebrations frame-worthy events. Lou has photographed images for over 40 cookbooks, authored the how-to book Digital Food Photography and has led the creative efforts for countless professional outdoor photo shoots.
- Set the stage. Pick a picnic location either entirely in the sun or entirely in the shade, since the contrast range in a combo lighting situation will be too great for any digital camera sensor and you probably won't get the detail you want in either the highlight or shadow areas.
- When shooting in bright daylight, try to have the sun at your side or behind your subjects. When the sun is behind your back, the result is often an unappealingly flattened image. Also, that will tend to make your subjects squint, which most agree is a rather disagreeable look. You can also use your flash to fill in harsh shadows, or use mirrors and aluminum foil to bounce light back onto your subjects. That way you'll create specular highlights and give a more appetizing appeal to all the food you're photographing.
- Place wax paper or a white shower curtain between the sun and your subjects. This will diffuse the light and soften the shadows. Click here to see an example of this technique. If you're using an Olympus camera like the E-30, E-620 or E-P1 which have built-in art filters, you can easily achieve a dreamlike effect with the filters called "Soft Focus," "Pale & Light Color" or "Light Tone."
- When shooting in the shade, you will need to be very careful about holding the camera steady. You might have to use a tripod. The lower light level means that the tiniest shake of the camera may result in a blurry image. Fortunately, most Olympus cameras have a built-in dual image stabilization feature, which protects against many of these blurry handheld mishaps.
- On your Olympus D-SLR or point-and-shoot camera, use the preset white balance settings in either the "cloudy" or "deep shade" modes. This introduces a warm yellowish and amber tone to the photographs and makes faces look much more engaging and food much more appealing.
- Consider using contrasting colors with your plates and napkins and try to vary the shapes and sizes of the individual food items. This will make the composition of your photographs much more interesting to the eye. Never forget this simple truth: You eat with your eyes first!
- All Olympus point-and-shoot cameras have a "Macro" mode (the icon is a flower) that greatly helps you focus closely to capture the detail, texture and beauty of the food and the various settings that you set out to capture.
- Don't forget to use the "Cuisine" scene mode—an exclusive point-and-shoot feature from Olympus—to boost the saturation, sharpness and contrast of food and drinks, especially for close-ups. It's quick and easy to do simply by pressing a button.
- Experiment with colors and moods by using the in-camera creative features found on the new Olympus E-P1, E-620, E-30, FE and Stylus series cameras. Do you want to know how a colorful picnic will look when you shoot it with the "Pop Art" filter? See for yourself before you take the shot, right in the camera's LCD. If you want to unleash your inner creative genius but don't have a camera equipped with in-camera art filters, use Olympus Master software to manually experiment with color, saturation, highlights, tone and other creative options.
- Here's another good professional tip: shoot from several angles, take risks and don't be afraid to experiment. Strive to be different! Most of all, have fun. The beauty of digital photography is that if you don't love a picture, you can press "Delete" and try it all over again.
Note: Photography courtesy of Lou Manna; shot with Olympus E-System cameras and lenses.

Are your POS signs and banners everything they should be?
If you're determined to not let your business blend in like a wall flower, attractive window signs are a must-have.
If you are looking to drive sales, nothing beats taking customers by surprise with POP materials where they least expect it: the floor.
For some mysterious reason, the human eye simply can't resist a vertical format. It is no wonder, then, that vertical banners are widely considered an indispensable part of the print marketing mix.
Contrary to what many people assume, there is more to light boxes than taking your average poster and placing a light source behind it.
Shopping aisles have certainly changed over the years, but wobblers managed to stand the test of time.
Most brand owners are well-aware that, when it comes to establishing an efficient retail marketing mix, it's best to either opt for printed POP materials or a combination of both digital and print. Here's why.

We did it!Today just before 2:00 p.m. (MDT), the very last batch of the 1940 US Census was arbitrated and submitted for publication. The indexing portion of the 1940 US Census Community Project is officially done!
|Just look at what we accomplished:
|It will take a few more weeks to complete the quality audit of the remaining states and publish them online for searching; however, the majority of the 1940 US Census records are already searchable online at the sites of the consortium members. Meanwhile, we hope the feelings you have at this moment of accomplishment are satisfying and will motivate you to continue giving. Families are being united across the generations with every name you index or arbitrate.

Brian Downing pled not guilty to charges he committed a sex crime in the hours after the Crimson Tide's BCS Championship win over LSU in New Orleans when he allegedly teabagged a Tigers fan at the Bourbon Street Krystal restaurant.
Judge Karen Herman set bond at $50,000 on Downing, who's been indicted on one count of sexual battery and one count of obscenity. Downing's lawyer attempted—and failed— to get the bond lowered, and claims Downing has no income after being fired by the Hibbett Sporting Goods store where he's worked since college.
There are two curious aspects to this case that have emerged since the indictment. First: Most media sources (the always-reliable Times-Picayune being the exception) have reported the first charge as "sexual battery of a male victim," which leads one to conclude there are different penalties for committing sexual battery depending on the sex of the victim. We couldn't find any such differentiation in the Louisiana Revised Code, and every Google hit for the phrase refers to Downing. We're curious why it matters, and who originally elected to add the sex of the victim to the story.
Second: Obscenity? Really? On Bourbon Street?

SKorea's top military officer puts off US trip
South Korea says its top military officer has put off a plan to visit Washington due to current tension with North Korea.
South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Jung Seung-jo had planned to meet his U.S. counterpart, Gen. Martin Dempsey, in Washington on April 16 for regular talks.
Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said Sunday the allies have agreed to reschedule the meeting because Jung couldn't be away from South Korea for several days at a time when North Korea is escalating its threats to attack.
North Korea has threatened to launch attacks on South Korea and the U.S. and produce more fuel for nuclear weapons. It is protesting South Korea-U.S. military drills and toughened international sanctions on the country.
The U.S. has 28,500 troops in South Korea.

The US is reconsidering its role in Middle East peace talks
The Obama administration will reevaluate its role in foundering Middle East peace talks following negative steps by both Israel and the Palestinians that have brought the negotiations to virtual collapse, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Friday.
A clearly distressed Kerry, who has spent the better part of his 14-month tenure as America's top diplomat trying to cajole the parties into talks, said it is "reality check time" for the peace process.
Speaking to reporters in Rabat before traveling to Casablanca for a meeting with the king of Morocco, Kerry said, "We are going to evaluate very carefully exactly where this is and where it might possibly be able to go."
Noting the other pressing issues he's dealing with - including Ukraine, Iran and Syria - Kerry said, "there are limits to the amount of time and effort that the U.S. can spend if the parties themselves are unable to take constructive steps."
He said it is "regrettable" that in the last few days both sides "have taken steps that are not helpful and that's evident to everybody."
Kerry has been the lead player in a months-long effort by the Obama administration to resuscitate Mideast peace talks, with heightened urgency as an end-of-April deadline approached for setting a framework for productive talks.
Even as the secretary made another visit to the region, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas moved, against Israel's wishes and the expectations of the U.S., to seek accessions to 15 international conventions through the United Nations.
Israel, arguing that the action violated terms the two sides had agreed upon for the Jewish state's release of Palestinian prisoners, retaliated Thursday by saying it would not set free a fourth batch of prisoners, as had been scheduled this week.
The U.S. has supported statehood for the Palestinians but has argued that they should accomplish this through the peace process rather than by unilateral actions.
Kerry planned to return to Washington on Friday after a lengthy overseas trip that had him shuttling between cities in the Middle East and Europe in an effort to keep the peace talks alive.
Kerry said the talks are not open-ended and "it's reality check time and we intend to evaluate precisely what the next steps will be."

The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia will host its Lifetime Achievement Award Gala on Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 6 PM at The Westin Philadelphia. This year's Gala honors one of music's greatest contributors - Burt Bacharach. The event is black tie
Nov 29, 2012, 06:18 ET
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia, a founding resident company of The Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, will host its Lifetime Achievement Award Gala on Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 6 PM at The Westin Philadelphia. This year's Gala honors one of music's greatest contributors - Burt Bacharach. The event is black tie.
The evening's event will include the presentation of the prestigious Annual Chamber Orchestra Lifetime Achievement Award to Mr. Bacharach with a mini-concert including surprise musical guests, a cocktail hour, a three-course sit-down dinner, dancing with live band, and open bar.
"I am deeply honored to accept The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia's Lifetime Achievement Award," remarked Burt Bacharach. "It is humbling to be recognized by such a distinguished organization for the work I have done throughout my life. For this great honor, and for my supporters who have followed me for years, I am eternally grateful."
"It is a privilege to honor one of the world's great musical figures," Kenneth M. Jarin, Esq., Chairman of The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia Board of Directors commented. "Mr. Bacharach's career embodies the qualities highlighted in the Chamber Orchestra's Lifetime Achievement Award - versatility, influence, creativity, longevity and success in music and the performing arts. His music has reached the ears and touched the hearts of millions."
A recipient of three Academy Awards, eight Grammys, and a Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, Burt Bacharach has been one of the most-honored and successful composers for well over half a century. His music is as diverse as his audiences, spanning generations and continents, as he is celebrated both as a pop culture icon and one of the world's greatest contemporary composers.
Mr. Bacharach's credits read like the world's favorite radio stations' playlist: "Alfie," "Arthur's Theme," "Close To You," "Do You Know The Way To San Jose," "I Say A Little Prayer," "I'll Never Fall In Love Again," "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head," "That's What Friends Are For," "This Guy's In Love With You," "Walk On By," "What The World Needs Now Is Love," "What's New Pussycat," and "Wishin' And Hopin'" are among his many hits.
"There is a very special pleasure for all of us in recognizing Burt Bacharach with the Chamber Orchestra's Lifetime Achievement Award," said Susan Schwartz McDonald, President of The Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia Board of Directors. "Mr. Bacharach's body of work is remarkable not only for its astonishing size and impact, but for the distinctiveness of his song-writing voice. He has given us a legacy of sophisticated song structures that transcend genre - complex and inventive as well as wonderfully hummable. The Chamber Orchestra feels truly privileged to add him to an august list of honorees who have made a worldwide difference through their music."

About this artwork
Early in his career, Diego Rivera enjoyed a brief but sparkling period as a Cubist painter. After years of rigorous art training in Mexico City, he traveled throughout Europe from 1907 to 1910. In l9l2 Rivera settled in Paris, where he befriended other emigré avant-garde artists, such as Amedeo Modigliani and Piet Mondrian. During World War l, he became a leading member of a group of Cubists that included Albert Gleizes, Juan Gris, and Jean Metzinger.
The subject of this portrait is Rivera's lover at the time, Marevna Vorobëv-Stebelska, a Russian-born painter and writer. Photographs of the sitter, which show her distinctive bobbed hair, blond bangs, and prominent nose, reveal Rivera's gifts of observation. Seated in an overstuffed armchair, she turns away from the book she holds in her lap, as if momentarily—perhaps angrily—distracted. Vorobëv-Stebelska is stylishly dressed in a gold-brocade bodice, white sleeves, and a dress whose shape hints at a pair of crossed legs. To her right appears a green, faux-marble form that may be a fireplace, and behind her is a schematically rendered window and shutters. In this Synthetic Cubist composition, Rivera used color to suggest spatial recession, making the planes meant to be closer to the viewer brighter than those at further remove. The painting's somber and rich color harmonies recall the palette of Gris.
Following World War I and the Russian Revolution, Rivera, like many other artists in Paris, rejected Cubism as frivolous and inappropriate for the new age. In 1921 the painter returned to Mexico, which itself had emerged from a decade of revolutionary struggle. There, adopting monumental forms that suited the country's new political reality, he began to produce work for which he is acclaimed today: paintings, graphics, and, above all, murals depicting Mexican political and cultural life.

Democracy in action: Do voters care?
Americans are quick to wave the flag to show their patriotism. But that enthusiasm is less evident when it comes to actually participating in democracy and going to the polls to vote.
The Virginia ballot in the November 5 election includes two Constitutional amendments and two bond referenda worth over $1 billion. That's a pretty heady responsibility tossed into the laps of voters. With low voter turnout projected, people wonder will voters bother?
Local delegates Rob Bell and Mitch Van Yahres, a Republican and Democrat who often differ on legislation, both support the proposed amendments and referendums. "I'm planning to vote for all four," says Bell.
"I voted for them in the General Assembly and am for them on the ballot," says Van Yahres. "I think they're absolutely necessary."
The first proposed amendment allows convicted felons to take DNA evidence and appeal to the state Supreme Court instead of going to the governor, who "has no expertise in DNA evidence," says Bell. "The limitations to hard scientific evidence will keep it from being a back door for appeals." Van Yahres says the amendment will speed up the justice process for those who may be innocent.
Second on the ballot is an amendment that allows localities to make non-profit property exempt from taxes rather than having to go through the General Assembly, a slow and cumbersome process, which is the current method. For example, "If JABA builds housing for the elderly, they now have to go through the state to the General Assembly to get it exempted," explains Van Yahres.
"Rather than have this bureaucratic step," says Bell, "this lets the localities do it."
Sally Thomas, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, welcomes the chance for localities to assume that responsibility, but points out, "There's a little irony. There are a lot of other things we'd like to have the ability to do at the local level that the General Assembly never seems eager to give us. Something that's been a problem for them, they're quite happy to give to the localities."
While the two amendments have attracted no opposition, nor, for that matter, much attention either, the $900 million educational facilities bond, from which UVA and Piedmont Virginia Community College would gain $73.3 million, and the $119 million parks and recreational facilities bond are drawing fire from the Virginia Campground Association.
Steve Albrecht, president of the association, says state parks are "the only industry in the state in direct competition with the private sector."
The association, which the state parks also belong to, opposes both bonds at a time when the state has a $2.2 billion deficit, says Albrecht. "We think it's fiscally irresponsible."
On the other hand, Delegate Bell thinks now is an excellent time for the state to borrow money. "If we're ever going to do capital projects, I'd rather we do them now when we can get a 3 1/2 percent rate. If interest rates weren't so good, I doubt I'd support this."
The Nature Conservancy supports the parks bond, which calls for $36.5 million to go for land acquisition for natural area preserves and new parks. "It's an incredibly important first step," says Nikki Rovner at the Conservancy. "Virginia spends less than other East coast states. It'll send a message to the legislature that voters support conservation."
The Campground Association has nothing against nature preserves. "We're not against that kind of expenditure," says Albrecht. Nor, he stresses, is the association against state parks.
But he does object to price of new camping cabins in the referendum: $90,000 each. "You can build houses cheaper," he says.
Referendums on the ballot usually pass. But with voter apathy and anti-tax sentiment, Albrecht thinks his organization's chances to defeat both are "very good."
"We'll be manning the polls and making a major effort in the next two weeks," he adds.
Will low voter turnout affect passage of the amendments and referenda? "I'm very disappointed in thinking that it might," says Van Yahres. "After 9-11 and all we've been through, democracy in action should manifest itself in voting, instead of wearing our patriotism on our sleeve."

About Engineered Flooring:
Engineered flooring consists of REAL hardwood layers with either a plywood, medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or lumber core. It's extremely stable, which means it's the perfect floor for any level of the home!
With plywood engineered products, real wood veneer layers are stacked on one another, with the grain of the adjacent layers oriented perpendicular to each other. Because wood expands and contracts in the direction of the grain, one layer stabilizes the next, resulting in a product that is less susceptible to the effects of moisture and temperature change.
Due to its construction, all engineered flooring works well in any climate -including high-moisture or extremely dry areas.

Taylor Swift Bakes Cookies With Olympian Gracie Gold
Taylor Swift is the sweetheart of country music, and U.S. figure skater Gracie Gold was the sweetheart of the 2014 Olympics. So, it makes perfect sense that the two would team up and create something sweet.
The songstress shared a photo of herself and Gold together in the kitchen on Wednesday (April 9). "First we baked a bunch of cookies and then we made faces," she captions. The two gals made silly faces at the camera, obviously having a good time -- and possibly riding on a sugar high from their delicious creations.
Swift is known for her love for all things culinary. She was recently spotted with Ina Garten from the Food Network, and baked chocolate peppermint cookies with Kelly Osbourne. Along with a probable sweet tooth, the singer has good reason for her kitchen obsession.
The 'Red' hitmaker admits that being in the kitchen actually de-stresses her busy mind. "There's something really calming and soothing to me about having everything measured out and stirring it and pre-heating the oven and getting it all working out."
In addition to their baking adventure, Swift and Gold ate dinner together, as the Olympian shares, "Had so much at dinner, and loved baking those amazing cookies!!! #cookiemonsters."

Is indexing the perfect investment solution for the majority of investors—or is it the most dangerous threat to free markets since Communism? Is the investment management business an intelligent way for an investor to access expertise—or is it a collection of greedy and incompetent thieves? Like most things in life, reality is somewhere between the extreme portrayals that tend to inhabit the media, and taking time to peel away the more nuanced layers is a valuable and productive exercise.
Modern stock market history has no precedent for the current influence indexing has on investor behavior and attitudes. Indexing is reshaping the public discussion about how to invest. Its simplicity, academic pedigree and remarkable track record have elevated it well beyond a mere investment strategy or even philosophy. I don't think it's an exaggeration to conclude that for a growing percentage of participants indexing is now the lens through which they experience and interpret investment reality.
Conventional wisdom informs us that the goal of active investing is to outperform the market. After all, if you can't generate above-average returns, what's the point of using professional management? This is a logical, sensible, even obvious conclusion. There is however, one small problem: outperforming the market is not a goal—outperforming the market is a result. And that seemingly infinitesimal, inconsequential, semantic, angels-dancing-on-the-head-of-a-pin difference is what has led investors, investment managers and most of the investment world down a proverbial rabbit hole.
The other side of that rabbit hole is an alternative reality where in order to keep their jobs, investment managers put aside what they know to be legitimate and successful investment strategies in order to chase the chimera of regularly outperforming their benchmark. This is not a little thing. The stakes are massive: trillions of dollars of investors' capital, and billions of dollars of fees to those managers who can successfully and consistently beat their benchmarks.
Unfortunately, the most sensible and successful long-term investment strategies can be volatile and/or produce long stretches of poor returns—a legitimate headwind in a world where under-performance is treated with growing impatience and the presumptive threat of investors departing with their assets.
Those threats have actualized: In growing numbers, investors have been departing active managers. According to Morningstar, through Nov. 30 all but $1 billion of the $41 billion investors added to U.S. equities in 2013 went to Vanguard. In the competition for investors' hearts, minds and dollars, the indexers are winning, and their lead is increasing.
The longer something works, the more likely that we will conclude that the elements behind its success are persistent and that the benefits can be assumed to be reliable. As a result we don't think twice about the following common refrain: "With the exception of a handful of investment geniuses (Warren Buffett, Seth Klarman, Carl Icahn, etc.), everyone else should own index funds."
An investor's primary choice is most commonly portrayed as active investing versus passive investing. But that is not correct. The actual choice offered investors is active investing versus index investing. Indexing as an investment strategy is not the same as the index itself, and that is a critical distinction. An index is a mathematical calculation of investors' aggregate behavior. Indexed investing, like every other investment strategy, impacts and shapes the supply and demand for securities in the market. The more money that is indexed, the more that indexing behavior impacts the market that the indexers are attempting to mimic.
Let me try to put this more plainly: Index investing behavior is not market neutral. The decision to buy or sell any security affects the supply and demand for that security, and thus the price. The fact that indexers have a predetermined mechanical benchmark that dictates what and how much they will buy or sell doesn't suspend the laws of supply and demand, which shape every transaction that takes place in the markets. And with $3 trillion of assets (and growing) indexed investment behavior is a hardly a fringe issue.
Imagine the kind of media attention that would arise if an active investment manager had $3 trillion of U.S. equities to invest in just one fund. Does anyone doubt that there would be a very public and much extended debate over the potential risks of having so much money concentrated in a single strategy?
Unexpected Upside
I am no apologist for the investment management industry. Firms' response to the pressure of short-term benchmarking could have been to double down on giving investors the best of what they had to offer, making their case honestly and transparently and letting the chips fall where they may. Instead (with some rare but notable exceptions) the industry chose to pursue strategies designed more to maintain assets than to make the smartest investment decisions—leading (as I argued in my May 2013 column) to today's sorry state of affairs where indexing has the potential to become so popular it could threaten the stability of the market mechanism it so successfully exploits.
But maybe that's not such a sorry state of affairs after all. The investment management industry grew into a complacent monopoly pocketing billions of dollars in fees while producing flashy but mediocre investment vehicles. There was no incentive powerful enough to force a change in their behavior until a critical mass of customers realized they could get better results and save 90-95% of the fees they were paying their active managers. So what began as a trickle is turning into a flood. Starting this year, indexing will no longer be a "shot across the bow" of the managed investment industry but a barrage of torpedoes and cruise missiles. Big ships will be sunk.
This raises three simultaneous dilemmas: (1) Everyone can't index. (2) The active management industry will be increasingly hard pressed to justify charging 10 to 20 times the fees of index funds. (3) If Jeffrey Wurgler of NYU is correct, as index funds continue to grow, even to the point of creating visible impact on the market mechanism, it will be even harder for active managers to outperform them; this will lead even more investors to choose indexing until—well, no one really knows what will happen, but none of the potential outcomes is good.
Even as indexing's unchecked growth could pose a threat to the stability of the market itself, it is the only force powerful enough to compel the restructuring and repair of an industry long-overdue for a complete overhaul. We should all be grateful to indexing for that.
The environment for the active investment industry is likely to get a lot worse before it gets better. A lot worse. Even so, I'm optimistic that ultimately the outliers in the active investment management industry—those handful of managers and funds that spend their time and energy pursuing excellence instead of asset growth—will form the foundation from which the industry can regroup and finally offer investors truly legitimate and competitive alternatives to index funds. If they can succeed in this forced restructuring, everyone wins.
