The Western Tribes. 1These are the portions which the Israelites received as heritage in the land of Canaan.a Eleazar the priest, Joshua, son of Nun, and the heads of families in the tribes of the Israelites determined 2their heritage by lot, as the LORD had commanded through Moses concerning the remaining nine and a half tribes.b 3To two and a half tribes Moses had already given a heritage beyond the Jordan; to the Levites he had given no heritage among them:c 4the descendants of Joseph formed two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim. But the Levites were given no share of the land except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for the herds and flocks.d

5As the LORD had commanded Moses, so the Israelites did: they apportioned the land.

Caleb’s Portion. 6e When the Judahites approached Joshua in Gilgal, the Kenizzite Caleb, son of Jephunneh, said to him: “You know the word the LORD spoke to Moses, the man of God, concerning you and concerning me in Kadesh-barnea. 7f I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the LORD, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to reconnoiter the land; and I brought back to him a frank report. 8g My fellow scouts who went up with me made the people’s confidence melt away, but I was completely loyal to the LORD, my God. 9On that occasion Moses swore this oath, ‘The land where you have set foot shall become your heritage and that of your descendants forever, because you have been completely loyal to the LORD, my God.’ 10Now, as he promised, the LORD has preserved me these forty-five years since the LORD spoke thus to Moses while Israel journeyed in the wilderness; and now I am eighty-five years old,h 11but I am still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me forth, with no less vigor whether it be for war or for any other tasks.* i 12Now give me this mountain region which the LORD promised me that day, as you yourself heard. True, the Anakim are there, with large fortified cities, but if the LORD is with me I shall be able to dispossess them, as the LORD promised.”j 13Joshua blessed Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and gave him Hebron as his heritage.k 14Therefore Hebron remains the heritage of the Kenizzite Caleb, son of Jephunneh, to the present day, because he was completely loyal to the LORD, the God of Israel. 15Hebron was formerly called Kiriath-arba, for Arba, the greatest among the Anakim.l And the land had rest from war.

No Change for FIDE: Kirsan Wins
September 29, 2010
ImageThe FIDE Presidential elections in Khanty-Mansiysk resulted in a win for incumbent Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. He will now serve another term from 2010-2014. The vote tally was 95 for Kirsan and 55 for Former World Champion Anatoly Karpov (who the USCF endorsed).  Unsurprisingly, the election was not without controversy. You can read more about it on and the Week in Chess. However, due to the margin, it is not likely that the result will be contested.

'Lugubrious' 'Deadpan' 'Saturnine' 'Cynical' 'Mr Misery'- These are the sort of words which frequently appear in reviews and profiles of Terry Hall. Undoubtedly Terry often exerts such characteristics however there is so much more to Terry Hall than these words intimate. With one of the most distinct singing voices and persona in pop, Terry has a substantial and impressive back catalogue with his most recent releases being amongst his best work.

A Q review once stated Terry was "a man who has had more bands than a short-wave radio" and despite the different music styles of each group, Terry's lyrics and persona have stamped a cohesiveness across them giving his fans a diverse and interesting path to follow with only the most limited of wrong steps. The Specials, the Fun Boy Three and, to a lesser extent, the Colourfield mixed political and social comment with everyday ennui whilst Terry's 1990s output has been more reflective, introspective and emotional.

Terry eschews the desire to put on an act for interviewers making him pretty unique and all the more impressive. The 'what am I doing here' demeanour puts interviewers on edge as they are usually faced with singers who feel the need to be an all round entertainment act (Jack of all trades, master of none). Terry doesn't play any instruments ("I find them quite petty") and therefore all his energies go into song writing and singing. It also means the musical backing to Terry's songs varies between his numerous song writing partners creating an interesting and diverse collection of songs.

There is already considerable documentation about the Specials and Terry's early career however in this biography I hope to run through Terry's post-Specials career from the Fun Boy Three to his most recent solo album 'Laugh'. Inevitability some of my own personal opinions creep in and feel free to use the message board to disagree (or to highlight anything I might have overlooked).

In the Specials Terry Hall became one of the most famous yet unique frontmen of British music. Michael Bracewell in his book 'England is Mine' states "fuelled by the tuneless voice and depressive vision of their singer Terry Hall, the Specials had less to do with Ska revivalism than they did with describing the world of mini-cabs and chip-wrappers which lurked behind the electro-pop glamour of their peers, Sheffield's the Human League." Bracewell goes on to quote from Terry's 'Friday night, Saturday morning' which appeared on the 'Ghost Town' EP. This track (one of the relatively few Specials songs written by Terry) gave a good indication of the direction Terry was taking and provided early evidence of the high quality song writing he would come to be associated with.

From a local band focusing on the issues of Coventry youth, the Specials became internationally famous. Terry recently said "What was the reason, the point in us trying to sing about the West Midlands in Boston or Japan? It was pointless." Terry has often stated how the whirlwind effect of such popularity adversely affected him. The 'Ghost Town' EP was at number one in the charts when the pressures within the Specials and the strains of touring finally resulted in vocalists Terry, Lynval Golding and Neville Staples departing to form the Fun Boy Three. The threesome revealed how long they had been considering leaving the Specials when their first single was released within such a short time of the break-up.

Their first single, 'The Lunatics (have taken over the asylum)' was a great start which continued the mix of everyday tales of mundane living with wider social and political messages. Terry's lyrical pessimism was encapsulated by the great line "so when the madman flicks the switch the nuclear will go for me". Terry managed to capture the political situation with deadpan humour making it a hundred times more effective than a Billy Bragg style dirge.

Terry's lyrics took a back seat for a while as the Fun Boy Three joined up with the then unknown female three-piece, Bananarama. A visual force to be reckoned with, the six piece released 'It ain't what you do (It's the way that you do it)' in 1982 which shot into the Top 5 and became one of the early 1980s most memorable hits. Bananarama's follow up release 'Really saying something' also featured the Fun Boy Three and had similar success. Often asked in more recent years why he teamed up with Bananarama, Terry once replied "Bananarama were as talentless as us, so it was a good reason to get together. It took them four days to sing three lines, but at least it was good fun". Whatever the reasons the resulting collaboration provides an enduring image of the early 1980s and brought a whole new audience to Terry's work.

The Fun Boy Three's own follow up to 'It ain't what...' saw the band return to the familiar themes of insecurity and uncertainty with Terry's vocals more ghostly than ever. 'The Telephone Always Rings' was released as the third and final single off the band's eponymous debut album (although strangely CD re-issues of the album give it the title 'Fame'). The album was produced by the band together with the late Dave Jordan. The album was generally recognised as a promising start although it has been considerably over shadowed by the second album since.

Between albums, the Fun Boy Three released a cover of Gershwin's 'Summertime'. Although there is nothing wrong with it, it nevertheless had the air of being a 'filler' and perhaps suggested a lack of direction and new ideas. However this idea was quickly banished with the release of the ten songs which made up the Fun Boy Three's second album 'Waiting'. 'Waiting' saw the band move more towards mainstream pop music yet with more subversive lyrics than ever. Terry was really becoming known as one of the most interesting and amusing pop lyricists of the time. The album was produced by Talking Heads' David Byrne and featured a sleeve with Terry in a checked suit with his trademark Fun Boy Three hair.

The first of three singles from 'Waiting' was the incisive 'The More I See (The Less I Believe)' about 'The Troubles' in Northern Ireland with Terry's vocals managing to capture exasperation, bewilderment and anger all in one. Two further hit singles came off the album 'The Tunnel of Love' and 'Our Lips are Sealed'. The latter being co-written by Terry and Jane Wiedlin, of the American group, the Go-Go's who had reached the top of the American charts with the song.

Rumours in the press began to circulate about the distance between Terry and the other band members. The shift in style between the debut album and 'Waiting' was clear and the Press increasingly presented it as Terry moving away from Lynval and Neville . There were stories about Terry's apathy towards touring especially in America. During Fun Boy Three gigs Terry met Toby Lyons (formerly a member of the Specials' contemporaries The Swinging Cats) and found they shared similar ideas about what direction they wished to follow. Whilst Lynval and Neville were in America, and the band seemed to be at their peak of popularity, Terry announced he was leaving. When asked a few years back by Jools Holland whether leaving was difficult, Terry stated that leaving was easy, it was being in a group that was difficult. A change in direction was also combined with a change in address as Terry left Coventry to move to Manchester - home of his beloved Manchester United.

Bridgeport Directories

Well, you just never know where you will find the information that you are seeking, but the library is a great place to start. These listings were found at the Birdgeport library and  were submitted by Jim Smith, found in the back of the city directories of Bridgeport. They are not marriage records, just a list of people who married in Bridigeport that year, I guess we can call it an index.

After 39 days in the Nicaraguan jungle, Survivor's Judson "Fabio" Birza took home the show's $1 million prize on Sunday's finale.

Beating out Matthew "Sash" Lenahan and Chase Rice for top honors, Birza won the first final immunity challenge after Dan Lembo was voted out. Then, after Birza swept the second immunity challenge -- his third straight victory -- and Holly Hoffman's torch was snuffed, victory was his.

With the jury votes shaking out at five for Birza and four for Rice (Sorry, Sash!), the trio's fellow castaways were clearly torn on who to award the million to. Jane Bright took home the Sprint "Player of the Season" award, with a landslide 60 percent of viewer votes.

Host Jeff Probst says Birza was a clear choice to be named sole survivor.

"He doesn't filter much and though at times he is a bit scattered, there is an undeniable charm and it's nice to have him on the list of Survivor winners," Probst told

Survivor's next installment, dubbed Redemption Island, premieres February 16 on CBS.

Recent Enhancements to Electronic Trademark Assignment System (ETAS) - July 28, 2014

We are pleased to report the following enhancements to ETAS.

  • New Conveyance Types: Two new conveyance types have been added to the cover sheet.
    • Entity Conversion-used when a business changes its entity type (e.g., from a corporation to a limited liability company) or its entity citizenship (e.g., from a New York corporation to a Delaware corporation); and
    • Merger and Change of Name-allows the filer to record with one fee and one cover sheet a transaction that involves the merger of two or more companies into a new company and a name change of the new company.

  • Ability to Identify Order for Multiple Transactions with Same Execution Date: The filer can identify the order in which multiple transactions having the same execution date should appear in the Assignment Historical Database (AHD). This enhancement allows a filer who has multiple assignments, mergers and name changes, which may have occurred on the same day, to properly identify the order in which the transfers should be recorded and appear in the assignment records so that the chain of title is clear to anyone viewing the assignment records. It is anticipated that, in the future, this enhancement will permit more accurate updates to the ownership information in the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) database.

  • ETAS Resubmission Form: The ability for a filer who receives a Notice of Non-Recordation from the Assignment Recordation Branch to electronically correct any omission or mistake on the originally submitted cover sheet, by using the new ETAS Resubmission form. If the filer receives a Notice of Non-Recordation, the notice will provide a unique Document ID and Access Code that allows the filer to access the Resubmission form. Once the Document ID and Access Code are entered on the Resubmission form, the information from the originally submitted cover sheet will appear in the Resubmission form. The filer will be able to add/change/correct the information that is identified as a problem in the original submission.
    • Resubmission form will not allow a filer to add new properties, but the filer may modify the Serial Numbers or Registration Numbers of properties previously identified, if there is a typographical error in any property previously identified.
    • Filer will be required to reattach the underlying document supporting the assignment.
    • Filer who initially submitted on paper or via facsimile will also be able to use the Resubmission form. Not all the information from the paper cover sheet will appear on the Resubmission form. The filer will have to enter the conveying party and receiving party information. However, the conveyance type, property numbers and correspondence information from the previous paper or fax submission will appear in the Resubmission form.

  • Notification about the Unauthorized Use of ETAS: A new addition to the validation page requires a filer to verify that he/she is aware that the unauthorized use of ETAS is a misrepresentation to the federal government and is prohibited and subject to criminal and civil penalties, including all penalties applicable to willful unauthorized access. Unauthorized use of ETAS includes providing false or spurious information, such as false or improper assignment documents or security agreements. This is added in an attempt to prevent a filer from submitting false transfers against another party's property.

Jason Vecchio
Jason Vecchio

UTSA baseball player selected by Cincinnati Reds

(June 7, 2005)--Jason Vecchio found out Tuesday afternoon that a mid-90s mph fastball just might be the ticket to a career in professional baseball. Vecchio, a junior right-hander on The University of Texas at San Antonio baseball team, was selected in the 16th round of the 2005 Major League Baseball first-year player draft by the Cincinnati Reds organization.

"It was a little surprising to be picked in the 16th round. I got called in the seventh and eighth rounds, but it wasn't until the 16th when I was picked. I am still excited though, and I like the Reds a lot," he said. "I didn't really care which team picked me."

Vecchio, a product of Pearland (Texas) High School, becomes the 12th Roadrunner player since 1994 to be drafted, with several other Roadrunners also in the professional ranks via free agent deals. With another day left in the draft tomorrow, UTSA head coach Sherman Corbett was happy to see interest in the Roadrunner program, which just recently competed in its first NCAA Regional since 1994, and looks for a few players names to pop up tomorrow.

"We are all definitely excited for Jason, and we'll see now what he decides to do. I think he was hoping maybe he would be drafted somewhere in the first 10 rounds or so," said Corbett. "It's nice to see that there is some interest in our players and our program, and hopefully we'll see a few more players drafted tomorrow."

Vecchio was the 12th pick of the 16th round and the 482nd overall pick as action in the draft concluded after the 18th round today. He becomes the fifth Roadrunner player selected by the Reds in the draft since 2000 and the seventh UTSA player to be drafted or signed by the Queen City team since 1994 when Paul Runyon signed as a free agent.

On the year, Vecchio produced a 2-4 record with a 6.14 ERA along with 29 punch-outs in 32.1 innings of work. He also tallied a team-high seven saves and now ranks third in career saves at UTSA.

Vecchio began the season as a starter, making three mound appearances in the first month as a starter, but he quickly found a role as the Roadrunners' closer. Entering his third year after spending the first two as a spot reliever, Vecchio recorded his first career save in March as the Roadrunners knocked off Oral Roberts in the Alamo City Irish Baseball Classic at Wolff Stadium.

He began the year with an 0-3 record but picked up his first win in a 11-10 comeback win at Texas State on March 25. He also picked up saves in conference wins over Louisiana-Monroe, Texas State, Sam Houston State and Nicholls State. In helping UTSA claim its first Southland Conference Tournament title since 1994, he recorded saves against Texas State and Lamar on consecutive days.

Popson Even-Par After First Round of NCAAs

May 21, 2013

First Round Results | Second Round Tee Times

ATHENS, Ga. -- Through one round of competition at the NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga., Lady Vol golfer Erica Popson is tied for 20th at even-par 72.

The senior is one of 12 golfers who shot even-par on the first day and is five strokes behind San Jose State's Regan De Guzman's lead.

Popson, who started her day on the 10th tee, birdied on the 14th hole, followed by a bogey on the 15th, to finish the back nine at even-par. The Davenport, Fla.-native carded two birdies and two bogeys on the front nine to wrap up the first day at even-par 72.

"I was a little bit disappointed," Popson said. "I felt like I played a little better than I scored today. I had a couple of bad shots that cost me a couple of shots on the scorecard. I would have liked to be under par today, but I don't think even par will hurt me too much. It keeps me in the game. Hopefully I can come out and play really well tomorrow and capitalize on some of the opportunities I missed out on today."

The NCAA Championship consists of 72 holes over four days. Second round action for Popson will begin at 12:48 p.m. ET. You can follow along at GolfStat.com.

Handout 1: The Ancient Sage

Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)

This is an excerpt from the poem "Ancient Sage"

Thou canst not prove the Nameless, O my son,

Nor canst thou prove the world thou movest in,

Thou canst not prove that thou art body alone,

Nor canst thou prove that thou art spirit alone,

Nor canst thou prove that thou art both in one:

Thou canst not prove thou art immortal, no

Nor yet that thou art mortal—nay my son,

Thou canst not prove that I, who speak with thee,

Am not thyself in converse with thyself,

For nothing worthy proving can be proven,

Nor yet disproven: wherefore thou be wise,

Cleave ever to the sunnier side of doubt,

And cling to Faith beyond the forms of Faith

She reels not in the storm of warring words,

She brightens at the clash of 'Yes' and 'No',

She sees the Best that glimmers thro' the Worst,

She feels the Sun is hid but for a night,

She spies the summer thro' the winter bud,

She tastes the fruit before the blossom falls,

She hears the lark within the songless egg,

She finds the fountain where they wail'd 'Mirage'!

The globe in perspective

Research for a secure, sustainable and equitable world

Initially proposed in the Challenge Campaign launched by former President Howard Petch in 1990/91, the Centre for Global Studies (CFGS) was formally established at the University of Victoria in 1998. Leading up to Dr. Smith’s retirement (June 2012) the CFS underwent a renewal process driven by a working group established by the Office of Vice President Research. The key motivation behind the transformation of the Centre was to “build on the centre’s existing research and advocacy strengths and to ensure that the CFGS is fully woven into the academic and social fabric of UVic in the future”.

Under the leadership of its current Director, Dr. Oliver Schmidtke (Poli and History), the Centre focusses on a mandate to promote collaborative, multidisciplinary, and cross-regional research and engage in connecting research in the field of globalstudies to local, national, and international communities. As such, CFGS is uniquely positioned to bridge academic research and student mentoring with knowledge mobilization and effective community engagement. The Centre awards fellowship to advanced graduate students, international scholars, and faculty researchers. These fellowships provide office space, a fellowship stipend for graduate students/visiting scholars and course and administrative release for faculty ranging from several weeks to a year in residency.

The CFGS is also host to numerous conferences, workshops and speakers.  The centre’s activities in Victoria, Canada, and abroad are designed to promote critical citizenship in a complex and rapidly changing global environment. CFGS research and public engagement build upon the University of Victoria’s intellectual expertise in four core themes: governance, environmental challenges, social justice, and culture and identity. The CFGS strives to produce quality and practical research with tangible benefits to both the local community and internationally. The CFGS has a rich history of producing cutting edge research and disseminating it in concise and accessible ways for both policy makers and the wider community.

Watch our events online!

The CFGS hosts events on campus all year round where we discuss important issues happening all over the globe. Many of our events are recorded so that we can share them with a broader audience.

Fire danger high this weekend for Vail Valley

EAGLE COUNTY, Colorado - The local weather forecast for the next few days is dry and windy with chances of lightning - it's not quite red alert level yet for local fire protection agencies, but it's getting close.

"It's fire weather for sure," said Ross Wilmore, with the U.S. Forest Service.

Colorado wildfires have been on the rise in recent weeks, and local fire officials are paying close attention to the fire danger. Depending on the area, the fire risk in the White River National Forest is high, very high or extreme, Wilmore said.

"We're looking at the wind blowing maybe into Sunday, and there's a couple of fronts coming through - for that reason we are concerned with fire danger," he said. "(We want people to) be really careful this weekend out in the backcountry with fire - it will be hot, dry and windy."

Heavy rains in June and July have actually made fire fuels a little bit worse, said Charlie Moore, fire chief at the Eagle River Fire Protection District. The extra fuels aren't necessarily a major risk, he said, but they could help a fire burn more intensely.

"It's not that uncommon to see high fire risk in August and September," Moore said. "It's pretty normal, actually."

This is the time when all the fire preparations that local fire officials have warned about for months become really important, said Eric Lovgren, Eagle County's fire mitigation specialist. Things like pulling back brush and weeds around homes and getting rid of other flammable materials around homes are extremely important, he said.

Residents need to take it upon themselves to know how to protect themselves and their homes, said Mark Miller, the Vail fire chief. Vail and Eagle County's Firewise programs send fire experts to homes to look at the dangers. Miller said more people took advantage of the program last year, but residents can still schedule an appointment for the free service.

"Each homeowner needs to have a self-awareness," Miller said.

Fire officials may have enjoyed the rainy months while they were here, but they knew it meant potentially more dangerous months to come. Early summer rain has helped grass grow quickly, meaning the so-called forest fuels can be more dangerous as things dry out, Miller said.

"Grass is quite tall - 2 to 3 feet in some areas around homes," Miller said. "As it dries out, then we have this huge surface fuel supply."

Surface fires tend to burn more intensely than fires burning at the tops of trees, Wilmore said. And with mountain pine beetles killing as many as 90 percent of the lodgepole pine trees in the area, dead trees leave room for sunlight to get to the surface more easily and dry it out. Dead trees can also blow over more easily in high winds, which leaves open areas uncovered and ready to burn.

Frequent thunderstorms in the area don't always mean the rain is getting enough moisture to those surfaces, either, Lovgren said.

"This is sort of just the beginning (of the fire season)," he said. "In the fall, with grasses starting to dry out, it lends itself to more ignition possibilities for things like lightning."

Eagle County fire officials are ready for anything, Wilmore said. Local officials collaborate with federal officials and each other, especially when conditions get risky.

"That's why we do all of those mitigation projects," Wilmore said. "I'm confident that if we get some small fires, we should be able to pick up most of them."

Since wildfires have been picking up nationally, resources are getting more scarce. Wilmore said if fires get active here, the Forest Service will be ordering more resources, like manpower and equipment, including air support.

That's why fire departments like Vail are keeping their men close by, rather than sending them to fight fires elsewhere.

"We're careful not to send wildland crews on deployments elsewhere because we want to make sure we have them if we need them," Miller said.

Fort Collins hiker, Daniel Palmer, describes harrowing Capitol Peak ordeal

Fort Collins resident Daniel Palmer believes it’s a miracle that he lived to tell the story of his Aug. 30 hike to the summit of Capitol Peak and his descent after being stuck on its steep north face.

The 45-year-old medical-equipment technician said he’s not a religious person in the traditional sense. He’s been “mad at God” because of his isolation following a divorce seven years ago, which led to his estrangement from his children.

But he’s certain that, along with Mountain Rescue Aspen, a higher power intervened that sleeting afternoon when he spent more than three hours wedged on a half-chimney next to a 1,000-foot vertical drop — unable to go any farther — waiting for a rescue team to arrive and bring him back to safe ground.

“The whole experience gives me a new relationship with God, given his hand in all of this,” Palmer said. “With the amazing timing of the rescue team and everything involved in getting me off that mountain, I just cannot deny his role.”

Palmer said he’s an experienced climber of Colorado fourteeners. He set out for the peak early that morning with someone he met through, an informational website on Colorado’s highest peaks, after camping the previous night near Capitol Lake.

His companion was younger and reached the summit ahead of Palmer. By the time Palmer reached the 14,130-foot summit around 11 a.m., the other hiker was already on his way down, having chosen the traditional route, the narrow traverse known as the Knife Edge.

Palmer witnessed some bad weather moving in and didn’t stay long at the top. Somehow, he said, he got “turned around,” and instead of taking the Knife Edge, he ended up descending along the steep north face of the mountain.

The decision was odd, he said, because before making the trip west from Fort Collins he was cognizant of the fact that another hiker this summer — a man who shared his last name — died trying the north-face route. Ryan Joseph Palmer, 35, of Vail, is believed to have fallen 200 to 300 feet on the north face of Capitol Peak on July 19, according to the Pitkin County Sheriff’s Office. His body was recovered two days later.

“It’s one of the things I can’t wrap my mind around: why or how I ended up on the north face. I wasn’t intimidated by the Knife Edge. I definitely had no qualms about going back that way. It’s just that I got turned around, and by the time I realized where I was, it was too late: I couldn’t climb back up,” Palmer said.

Thoughts of “fate and mortality” ran through is mind at that point.

“How did I find myself doing exactly what this other guy did when I knew very well not to do it?” he said.

Palmer said he was able to get three-fourths of the way down the north face when he reached a point where he knew he couldn’t go any farther. He was on a narrow half-chimney with a vertical drop of more than 1,000 feet on the other side of it. Soon he was frozen — not by temperatures but by fear.

His cellphone worked, and he called 911. He had some food, water, three jackets and a climbing helmet, and he waited for what “seemed like an eternity.”

“I was wedged in what was kind of a half-chimney, with my back against one cliff face and my feet against another. I was just sort of hanging there for three hours. Lots of thoughts were going through my mind, like how did I get here, and death, and how are they going to get to me, and how long can my strength hold out,” Palmer said.

He said he started shivering uncontrollably, but not from temperatures. He could hear rocks falling and sliding in the valley below.

A Black Hawk helicopter arrived, circling many times, seeming to acknowledge his presence. He saw a nearby ledge that would make it easier for rescuers to get to him, but it was just out of arm’s reach. On what he describes as a leap of faith, he stretched and made it to the ledge, which was next to the steep, 1,000-foot drop.

“That was the scariest time I had up there, reaching for that ledge,” he said.

And then, after decent weather throughout his lonely ordeal, it started to sleet.

“My hands and feet were getting numb,” he said. “I was trying to hold on, and I reached out to God. I said, ‘At least if I am going to die, let me see your face.’”

At that precise moment, he looked up and saw the face of one of the two Mountain Rescue Aspen team members who had been dropped off above him.

The situation was not yet over, and some difficulty ensued. The rescuer put Palmer in a harness, and they rapelled several hundred feet along the north face. Somehow during the event, a rock was dislodged above him and hit him below the kneecap, stinging him like a bullet. After reaching an ice-packed area, he was told to slide along it, which shredded his jeans.

Finally they reached the area where the helicopter was able to pick him up. They flew to the Aspen-Pitkin County Airport, where an ambulance took him to Aspen Valley Hospital. He was treated for minor scrapes and abrasions and rested there for five or six hours.

Palmer gives thanks not only to Mountain Rescue Aspen but to Pitkin County Sheriff’s Deputy Adam Crider, who assisted him the next day in getting him back to the Ditch Trail, where his vehicle was parked. Crider also helped him with a flat tire on his vehicle.

He had to hike more than six miles to the spot where he had camped, before embarking on the frightening journey, to retrieve his gear. There, he met other campers who were talking about him as he arrived, and they offered him some aid and kind words, as well.

Though the experience was not something he would want to replicate, he said it wouldn’t deter him from one of his favorite pastimes.

“I won’t stop hiking fourteeners,” Palmer said. “I would rather go out doing something I loved than spend a life of regret for things that I never did. Going forward, I’ll definitely be a lot more careful and less cocky about it, but what happened isn’t going to stop me from getting out there and seeing God’s beauty.”

Politics of the Papacy

By Hugo Odiogor
The Papacy may seem to be a spiritual institution and its role may be seen to be purely limited to the administration of the Universal Catholic Church. In reality, the role of the Papacy in global politics has been prominent before, during and after the renaissance and now.

The Papacy is at the head of government and administration at the Vatican City, which enjoys a sovereign status and diplomatic representation worldwide.

It is known to be a moral voice on issues such as abortion, opposition to same sex marriage, opposition to dictatorial regimes, global poverty among other.

The strong demographic representation of catholic faithful throughout the world makes the Papacy a very strong institution. It is also known to be very wealthy and influential in global affairs. Although, it has no standing army, the Papacy is powerful and its opinion on any issue cannot be wished away.

The sudden resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, will certainly throw the Catholic Church back to the politics of selecting the next Pope and ensuring that the dust raised by the resignation of the incumbent pope is handled as conservatively as possible.

First, there will be issues of age and ideological disposition of the new Cardinal. There will be the issue of balance and representation in the Vatican and in the selection of the Papacy. During the cold war, the position of the Papacy was part of the cold war politics. During the formation of the United Nations, the issue of giving veto power to the Vatican was thrown up. The then Soviet President, Josef Stalin, opposed the idea on the grounds that the Vatican had no troops. The US and its western allies wanted a situation where they would use the veto power of the Vatican to outsmart the Soviet Union and its allies. The Vatican has an observer status at the United Nations.

The appointment of the former Pope John Paul 11 from Poland, was influenced by the ploy of the Western Union, to support the uprising in Poland which was aimed at weakening communist regimes in Eastern Europe.

The ploy worked as the opposition to communist regime strengthened and invariably, the entire communist regime in Europe collapsed. But the Pope almost lost his life.  Pope Benedict XVI is the first German Pope to be elected in over 1,000 years and he was selected by the forces that were opposed  to an Italian becoming a Pope in 2005.

There are many people who believe that it was those forces that opposed his emergence, that were behind the embarrassing leaks in the Vatican during his tenure as Pope. The issue now is whether the politics of Papacy will allow an African to emerge as a pope.

Tattoo designs - C >> Cattle Brands

Cattle Brand Tattoo Design Meanings - Cattle or Livestock Brand tattoo designs are an interesting take on Monogram and Ambigram tattoos. Monograms are traditionally used by individuals and companies to create a distinctive and recognizable logo out of a unique combination of the initials of their name. The initials, usually two or more, are often over-lapped, reversed or arranged in a distinctive pattern. Ambigram tattoos go one step further and are optical illusions where the arrangements of letters can be viewed in more than one manner.

Branding imagaes

The origin of livestock branding goes back several thousand years. The ancient Egyptian, Greeks and Romans marked livestock - and slaves - with hot irons. Prisoners and criminals might also be branded with marks that identified their crimes.

And branding is about identification, a brand is a mark or symbol of identity. It was originally meant to convey ownership and was also meant to deter theft. Lost or stolen animals without brands were nearly impossible to identify.

Livestock brands, particularly when used for cattle and horses in the American western frontier evolved into a language all their own. To the uninitiated, a brand may look no more familiar that an Egyptian hieroglyphic, but with a little practice, a pattern soon emerges.

Brands are created by using capital letters of the alphabet - although, if you are creating your own unique tattoo brand, there is no rule against going lowercase! - pictures or symbols, numbers and distinctive characters, most of which can be found on any keyboard, such as the slash /, circle O, cross +, bar _, star *, etc, with no limit to your imagination when it comes to dreaming up your own personal 'tattoo brand'.

Letters may be used alone, joined together, or, much as in a monogram, in interesting combinations. One of the really interesting and unique aspects of brands is the way that letters are displayed and described. Letters may be portrayed in an 'upright' or 'standing' position, in which case they are slightly elevated. A letter on its side, might be described as 'lying down' or 'lazy'. Upside down or reversed are known as 'crazy'.

As in a monogram, letters in a brand may also be said to be 'connected' if they touch or are over-lapped. Letters that are shown backwards are 'reversed'. A letter that is showing connected, but beneath a letter, may be described as 'hanging'. Letters that are tilted, may be said to be 'leaning' or 'running'. When the same letter is repeated, it may be referred to as a 'double' or a 'triple'. If a letter is within a partial circle, it may be called 'rocking' because of its resemblance to a rocking chair.

A picture brand is a brand of a symbol, perhaps a crescent, moon, star or stylized ladder.

There are three accepted conventions for reading brands:

1. Read from the left to right - RB (RB)

2. Read from the top to the bottom - K (Bar K)

3. When the brand is enclosed, say an R within a circle, it is read from the outside to the inside, as in ® (Circle R)

Many other countries also use livestock brands, from Argentina in South America to the outback of Australia.

Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantánamo Bay (New Line)

Having sated their hunger for White Castle, two overachieveing, post-adolescent stoners head to the pot paradise of Amsterdam but land instead in Gitmo when the Indian-American Kumar (Kal Penn) and the Korean-American Harold (John Cho) are mistaken for terrorists. Escaping with Cuban refugees, they flee Rob Corddry's rabidly bigoted lawman, with whacked-out horndog Neil Patrick Harris riding shotgun, and George W. Bush making a tokin' appearance. Though not quite living up to the 2004 original, the movie deserves praise for being the most subversive—and strangely incisive—cinematic take on the War on Terror in a year full of turgid Iraq dramas.

Verdict: Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle meets Team America: World Police

Baby Mama (Universal)

Given the talent associated with this tale of surrogate mommy mayhem (Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Steve Martin, and producer Lorne Michaels, to list a few), one couldn't be faulted for expecting to laugh. Sadly, Fey and Poehler's usual biting small-screen chemistry fizzles in a predictable plot littered with gratuitous potty jokes. Note to Tina: next time you attach your name to a movie, write it.

Verdict: Working Girl meets Knocked UpDeception (Fox)

Despite the promising casting and power relation of Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor, the women are the only reason to watch this boilerplate erotic thriller. Scantily clad femme fatale Maggie Q provides enough eye candy to keep hearts racing, and it's hard to keep your eyes off the magnetic, angel-faced Michelle Williams. Unfortunately, minds are numbed by the uninspired and drawn-out script by Mark Bomback, whose last flick, Live Free or Die Hard, should have been a tip-off.

Verdict: Showgirls meets Basic Instinct and Very Bad Things

What’s Happening

See what the Vanyo Martial Arts Team are up to in our Strongsville based school

What our clients say

We’re thankful to empower so many lives

Our son Dawud Jr. who has cerebral palsy came to Vanyo Martial Arts approximately two years ago to receive adaptive Taekwondo training. From day one Master Vanyo and our son Dawud Jr. connected and the results of his training have been outstanding. Dawud's self esteem has went through the roof as a result of his martial arts training at Vanyo Martial Arts. As well as his abilities in balance, coordination, endurance, and overall strength. Dawud Jr. Has also learned how to do things that because of his disability he could never do before, such as jumping and tuck and rolling. Master Vanyo has helped to instill in Dawud that the only limitations he has are the ones he put on himself, meaning there are no limits. Vanyo Martial Arts have truly taken our son Dawud Jr. to his next level by truly setting goals and no limits! Dawud Sr.
I started at Vanyo Martial Arts years ago in the Tae Kwon Do program. Now, 11+ years later, I participate in both Tae Kwon Do and the Muay Thai Mixed MMA class. With my personal experience, the Army often relocates me, and I have trained with different schools all over the US as well as conducted certifications within the Army Combatives Program. I have not found a school that is able to match the expertise and wealth of knowledge that Master Vanyo has. No other class leaves me physically drained, and mentally invigorated like his classes do. Every day I watch myself and those students around me grow, and it is an awesome sight. Another thing, belts here are not handed out like a factory. Master Vanyo ensures that we know our stuff before each test, and every belt is hard-earned. He, and his black belts, take the time to cultivate the new students, growing them into disciplined and hard working martial artists. I know that I feel a real sense of accomplishment every time I am handed a new rank. Hi highly suggest this school to anyone looking for a martial arts home. The Vanyo's will treat you like family. They also have special programs for students with special needs. It is a loving school that truly cares for each student and their personal progression. I look forward to seeing you there! John W
Great facility. Very knowledgable head instructor (Mark Vanyo). As former pro-athlete at Vanyo MMA I am meeting my needs, and learn proper techniques to stay in shape. Vitaly Potapenko - Cleveland Cavaliers
Master Vanyo is an excellent coach, and he is an encyclopedia of the martial arts. My confidence boosted after my first session, and my skills improved a lot faster than I thought. Thanks to the wisdom and tutelage of Vanyo Martial Arts I am in the best shape of my life." Mark Hunter - Chimaira

These procedures are published in order to provide all faculty and staff the guidelines necessary for financial control of departmental budgets. The procedures are to be used for all expenditures of a departmental budget except for salaries and wages, as these are fixed expenditure items.

A. General Guidelines
  1. When feasible purchases of supplies and equipment should be made through the purchase requisition process or with a purchasing card. Purchases from the Bookstore, Faculty Material Center and small purchases of supplies may be made without a purchase requisition. However, because of the lack of financial control on departmental budgets resulting from this type of expenditure, the University places primary responsibility for payment of any debt incurred through this process on the individual making the purchase. The University will pay for these debts only to the extent of the departmental budget.
  2. Purchase requisitions may be obtained from the Business Office.
  3. Completed and properly approved purchase requisitions may be submitted to the Business Office for processing. Purchase requisitions with missing information, such as estimated unit price, accounting codes or proper approvals will be returned to the originating department.
  4. completed and properly approved purchasing card statements must be submitted to the Business Office for processing.  Statements with missing information, such as accounting  codes, proper approvals, or tax and hotel rate discrepancies may be returned to the cardholder.
  5. A copy of the purchase requisition, Purchase Order and a receiving report will be returned to the department. Upon receipt of the material ordered, the receiving report should be completed and returned to the Business Office, this serves as the authorization for the Business Office to pay for the material.
B. State Board of Higher Education Purchasing Procedures

Refer to SBHE policy 803.1

C. Inventory
  1. All items of equipment, with a value of $5,000 or more, should be properly tagged and identified. These items will be listed on an inventory control printout and must be periodically accounted for.
  2. The Business Office must be notified if these items are moved from one location to another or of any change in status.
  3. Submit requests to Business Office for proper disposal for these items.

Congress Should Veto Obama`s War With Syria

“Congress doesn`t have a whole lot of core responsibilities,” said Barack Obama last week in an astonishing remark.

For in the Constitution, Congress appears as the first branch of government. And among its enumerated powers are the power to tax, coin money, create courts, provide for the common defense, raise and support an army, maintain a navy and declare war.

But, then, perhaps Obama`s contempt is justified.

For consider Congress` broad assent to news that Obama has decided to attack Syria, a nation that has not attacked us and against which Congress has never authorized a war.

Why is Obama making plans to launch cruise missiles on Syria?

According to a “senior administration official … who insisted on anonymity,” President Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons on his own people last week in the two-year-old Syrian civil war.

But who deputized the United States to walk the streets of the world pistol-whipping bad actors. Where does our imperial president come off drawing “red lines” and ordering nations not to cross them?

Neither the Security Council nor Congress nor NATO nor the Arab League has authorized war on Syria.

Who made Barack Obama the Wyatt Earp of the Global Village?

Moreover, where is the evidence that WMDs were used and that it had to be Assad who ordered them? Such an attack makes no sense.

Firing a few shells of gas at Syrian civilians was not going to advance Assad`s cause but, rather, was certain to bring universal condemnation on his regime and deal cards to the War Party which wants a U.S. war on Syria as the back door to war on Iran.

Why did the United States so swiftly dismiss Assad`s offer to have U.N. inspectors—already in Damascus investigating old charges he or the rebels used poison gas—go to the site of the latest incident?

Do we not want to know the truth?

Are we fearful the facts may turn out, as did the facts on the ground in Iraq, to contradict our latest claims about WMDs? Are we afraid that it was rebel elements or rogue Syrian soldiers who fired the gas shells to stampede us into fighting this war?

With U.S. ships moving toward Syria`s coast and the McCainiacs assuring us we can smash Syria from offshore without serious injury to ourselves, why has Congress not come back to debate war?

Lest we forget, Ronald Reagan was sold the same bill of goods the War Party is selling today—that we can intervene decisively in a Mideast civil war at little or no cost to ourselves.

Reagan listened and ordered our Marines into the middle of Lebanon`s civil war. And he was there when they brought home the 241 dead from the Beirut barracks and our dead diplomats from the Beirut embassy.

The only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history. Congress should cut short its five-week vacation, come back, debate and decide by recorded vote whether Obama can take us into yet another Middle East war.

The questions to which Congress needs answers:

  • Do we have incontrovertible proof that Bashar Assad ordered chemical weapons be used on his own people? And if he did not, who did?
  • What kind of reprisals might we expect if we launch cruise missiles at Syria, which is allied with Hezbollah and Iran?
  • If we attack, and Syria or its allies attack U.S. military or diplomatic missions in the Middle East or here in the United States, are we prepared for the wider war we will have started?
  • Assuming Syria responds with a counterstrike, how far are we prepared to go up the escalator to regional war? If we intervene, are we prepared for the possible defeat of the side we have chosen, which would then be seen as a strategic defeat for the United States?
  • If stung and bleeding from retaliation, are we prepared to go all the way, boots on the ground, to bring down Assad? Are we prepared to occupy Syria to prevent its falling to the Al-Nusra Front, which it may if Assad falls and we do not intervene?

The basic question that needs to be asked about this horrific attack on civilians, which appears to be gas related, is: Cui bono?

To whose benefit would the use of nerve gas on Syrian women and children redound? Certainly not Assad`s, as we can see from the furor and threats against him that the use of gas has produced.

The sole beneficiary of this apparent use of poison gas against civilians in rebel-held territory appears to be the rebels, who have long sought to have us come in and fight their war.

Perhaps Congress cannot defund Obamacare. But at least they can come back to Washington and tell Obama, sinking poll numbers aside, he has no authority to drag us into another war. His Libyan adventure, which gave us the Benghazi massacre and cover-up, was his last hurrah as war president.

Black Bean and Corn Quesadillas

Vegan Bean and corn quesadillas

Quesadillas made with vegan cheese are a great choice for an easy dinner. Serve with a big salad and a simple grain or potatoes (better yet, sweet potatoes). You can make these on the stovetop or in the oven. Photos by Hannah Kaminsky.

Makes 8; 1 or 2 per serving

  • 15- to 16-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup cooked fresh or thawed frozen corn kernels
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, very thinly sliced
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 or 2 fresh jalapeño peppers, seeded and minced, or 4-ounce can mild or hot chopped green chiles

To finish:

  • 8 soft taco-size (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup grated cheddar-style nondairy cheese, or as desired
  • Salsa (homemade or prepared), as desired
  • Vegan sour cream (homemade or storebought) or Cashew Cream, optional

Heat a large non-stick griddle, or preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Combine the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together. Arrange the filling on one half of each tortilla, leaving about a  l/2-inch border near the edges. Sprinkle each with a little of the cheese. Fold each tortilla over to make a half-circle.

If heating on a griddle, cook the quesadillas on both sides until nicely golden brown (flip them carefully!). If using the oven,  bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees, or until the quesadillas are hot and beginning to turn light golden brown.

Arrange one quesadilla on each serving plate and cut in half  with a sharp knife to make two wedges. Top each with a bit of the salsa and if desired, a small dollop of sour cream.

    Perfect for a quick healthful lunch. We’ve had great luck cooking melted vegan cheese with the George Forman grill that has a plate for grilling breads etc. I think we’ll give this recipe a try using the grill.

    Making this on the grill is a splendid idea! You’ve reminded me to designate some of the quesadilla recipes for the Vegan Barbecue section. Thanks!

Vandenbroucke's final hours

by Agence France-Presse at 9:17 AM EST   comments
Categories: Pro Cycling
An autopsy on Belgian cyclist Franck Vandenbroucke, found dead in his hotel room here on Monday, will take place on either Wednesday or Thursday, Senegalese police have announced.

"The autopsy will take place tomorrow (Wednesday) or the day after (Thursday) in Dakar," a police source revealed on Tuesday, before adding that "we shouldn't lose ourselves in conjecture" over the cause of his death.

The 34-year-old was on holiday with his cyclist friend Fabio Polazzi.

Staff at the seaside hotel where he was staying said he had been drinking and vomited before he died.

His body was found in a room at the hotel, 'La maison bleue', where he checked in at 0200 local time (0000GMT) on Monday.

"When he arrived, he was drunk," a hotel employee told AFP.

"He was with a Senegalese woman. He came for one night and we served him a beer," the employee said, asking not to be named.

"About four in the morning his girlfriend came and asked for a mop because he had been sick," the man said after being interviewed by police.

"By one p.m. (Monday) he had not come out of his room. About eight p.m. my boss called me and said the client had died."

An AFP reporter and photographer were allowed into the room on Tuesday from where the body had been removed by emergency workers in Saly, one of Senegal's main resorts, 70 kilometres (45 miles) south of the capital Dakar.

Vandenbroucke made his professional debut in 1994 and recorded 51 victories, including the 1999 Liege-Bastogne-Liege classic, his career highlight.

In 2002, Vandenbroucke was twice stopped by police under the influence of alcohol at the wheel of a car. Later that year, a police search at his home uncovered a large quantity of doping substances.

In Belgium, family and friends recalled a deeply troubled if talented rider.

Vandenbroucke had suffered from depression and two years ago tried to commit suicide after his wife said she was divorcing him.

"Sadly this has only partly come as a surprise, for we knew he was not doing too well," said his uncle, former racer Jean-Luc Vandenbroucke.

"He was up and down, both in terms of his health and his morale. He left for Senegal on Sunday."

His father Jean-Jacques said Frank had gone on holiday in a happy mood.

"He left in good health, he was beaming because he had found a team for next year," he said. "So we are stunned by the news."

In 2003, when he rode for the Quick Step team, Vandenbroucke appeared to be on the way back after a second-place finish in the prestigious Tour of Flanders classic, but he sank into depression the following year.

"Frank had perhaps too much talent and a slightly weak character," said all-time great Eddy Merckx.

Le Soir newspaper called him cycling's "enfant terrible ... the James Dean of his generation ... an accursed star impossible to seize".

"An exceptional champion, probably the finest Belgian cyclist since Eddy Merckx, Frank Vandenbroucke lived too fast, without noticing it, on the inebriety of success."

Planetside 2’s third continent may be added post-launch

Thursday, 13 September 2012 01:37 GMT By Brenna Hillier

Sony Online Entertainment is working on bringing a second continent into Planetside 2’s beta, but may save the third for after release.

SOE’s John Smedley revealed the updated timetable in a post on the MMO’s forum.

“We also are working hard on Esamir. It’s getting closer and closer to a finished state where we want you guys to play on it. It’s pretty awesome and very different gameplay wise than Indar,” he said.

“After that Amerish will go back to being worked on. These continents are taking longer than we expected and it’s possible we end up launching with two and delivering the third shortly after launch. We’re working super hard but we have some resource bottlenecks. We also are going to see how the game plays with two continents before making any final decisions, so please do us a favor and don’t judge any of this before you play the game with two.”

SOE is otherwise concentrating on performance, gunplay, certs, resources and mechanical debates like continent locking as it refines the MMO.

Planetside 2 is expected to launch this year – but Smedley has no qualms about delaying it.

“We are showing with Planetside 2 a strong dedication to launching this game when it’s ready, and not before,” he said.

“But that also means we need you as our playerbase to understand that this is like riding a wave that we have an idea where it’s going but aren’t precisely sure. Actually, that’s kind of fun to tell you the truth. We’ve been seeing gameplay you guys are coming up with that we sure are having fun watching and being a part of.”

Thanks, PCGamesN.

PS4 will not blocked used games, Yoshida confirms

Thursday, 21 February 2013 06:17 GMT By Brenna Hillier

After weeks of speculation the PlayStation 4 has been revealed, and although most of the rumours were true there was one very important omission.

“Used games can play on PS4,”Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida told Eurogamer.

“That’s the general expectation by consumers. They purchase physical form, they want to use it everywhere, right? So that’s my expectation,” he added.

Although the used-games-block has been touted for Sony several times, especially in the wake of an NFC patent, it’s really been persistent over on Microsoft’s side. The rumours hold so much sway that used game mogul GameStop keeps suffering share panic whenever they pop up again.

It’s probably safe to say that now that Sony’s definitely not blocking used games, for Microsoft to do so would be a grievous error.
