Competition is a good thing for buyers. Google's Nexus One smart phone is good competition for Apple's iPhone. How does the Nexus One stack up to Apple's past iPhone efforts?
Apple's iPhone has been all the rage for three years. The introduction came in early 2007, the launch in mid-2007, the iPhone 3G in mid-2008, and the iPhone 3GS in mid-2009.
iPhone advancements have been typical Apple. Evolutionary changes with each new model. Hardware features and specifications are often better on competing models, but the end result is similar to the Mac and iPod.
The whole experience is greater than the sum of the parts.
Blame the iPhone's popularity on Apple's inherent ability to blend just the right hardware with superbly crafted software. Add to the package over 100,000 smart phone applications, games, and utilities, and a simplified buying and synchronizing process, and it's no wonder the iPhone is a huge commercial success.
But that was then, and this is now. Competition is heating up, notably from Google's Android smart phone operating system.
Comparisons of Macs and PCs are controversial because it's difficult to compare apples to oranges (pun intended). Often, comparisons are made to hardware, and not software, or, at best, with specific OS features.
With smart phones there has not been much to compare. Early Android models were flimsy and lacked Apple's sophisticated fit and finish. Windows Mobile and other smart phone operating systems are an after thought. Palm's Pre would have been a darling last year if it were not for Apple's iPhone juggernaut.
Today, there's a large, ominous wave heading toward Apple's lovely smart phone beachhead. Google's Nexus One appears to be solid competition for the iPhone in nearly every area.
Apple trails the Nexus One in virtually every hardware feature, and leads only in the number of applications available to users. For now. To check out the details of the Nexus One, visit the Engadget review, a good summary from The Next Web, and Google's own specifications.
In summary, the Nexus One is a little longer, a little more narrow, a little thinner, and a little lighter than the iPhone. The Nexus One display is larger (3.7 inches vs. 3.5 inches), with more pixels, a faster response rate, and an AMOLED screen.
The Nexus One camera is 5 megapixels vs. the iPhone's 3 megapixels, comes with autofocus, an LED flash, and a digital zoom, neither of which are on the iPhone 3GS. Video capture resolution is higher, too, though frame rate is lower.
The basic telephony features are comparable to the iPhone; HSDPA 7.2Mbps (and HSUPA 2Mbps), Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth, stereo Bluetooth, accelerometer, digital compass, proximity sensor, light sensor, software keyboard, a clickable track ball, and so on. The Nexus One has a removable 1400 mAH battery, which provides longer talk time than the iPhone 3GS, but less standby, and less Wi-Fi or audio or video playback (no more grumbling about iPhone batter life, please—it's pretty good).
The Nexus One comes with 512MB of RAM vs. the iPhone's 256MB, but it also uses a 4GB Micro SD Card, which can be expanded to 32GB. The iPhone 3GS comes with either 16GB or 32GB of storage (not removable).
Simply put, comparing hardware, the iPhone has a lot of competition, and, indeed, some catching up to do. But, remember—the iPhone 3GS probably began production nearly a year ago, and a newer version is expected this spring.
From what I can see of the specifications, Google's Nexus One looks and feels like an iPhone 3GS, is virtually identical in size and weight and surpasses Apple's smart phone in some hardware features (faster CPU, second microphone for noise cancellation, lots of voice recognition components).
Where the Google Nexus One falls short of Apple's iPhone is software, specifically the rich variety of applications, games, and utilities (well over 100,000 in the iPhone App Store). Google's Android Market pales in comparison to the App Store.
Another area where Android phones do not compete on equal footing with Apple's various iPhone models is integration between software and hardware. Apple has a limited number of models with similar hardware functionality (so far as software is concerned). Android smart phones have many different hardware configurations, making it more of a challenge for software developers, and further limiting purchase choices.
At best, a few million Android-equipped smart phones are on the market so far (after nearly two years), and in a limited number of countries, while the iPhone and iPod touch platform is pushing toward 100-million in sales in approximately 80 countries in less than three years.
In summary, Google's Nexus One, available initially (and now) only on T-mobile (unlocked for $529, or with a contract for $179) in the US (UK, Hong Kong, and Singapore). Clearly, Google and HTC (the manufacturer) are pushing the Nexus One as the real 2.0 version of Android OS, and, more importantly, as a hardware reference platform for other manufacturers.
That does not bode well for Apple. Android OS for smart phones is free, so expect many more cell phone hardware manufacturers to get on board this rapidly moving gravy train. Apple may have set the mobile phone market on fire with the iPhone, but there's good competition on the streets already.
Differentiation is key to a product's success in an established market place. Can Apple keep the iPhone platform sufficiently different, sufficiently better in experience than Android? Think of the original Android phones as the Windows 95 of smart phones. That was just a year ago. With version 2.1, one could argue that Nexus One is a screaming fast PC with Windows 7 onboard. In other words, it ain't shabby.
Apple, it's your turn. What's the next great thing? Check out my Jesus Tablet article on Mac360.

30+ Fast, Fall Favorite Recipes for Families on the Go!
Well, we're in the full swing of the school year and man is this year's shaping up to be a doozy! My mother-in-law has warned me for years that the high school years are just the fastest and I knew she would be right… I just didn't image this level of whirling dervish!! Between the hour long carpool to get the oldest to his specialty campus down-town and his fervor to complete his Eagle Scout before his 18th birthday along with my youngest son's involvement in choir, theater tech, and lacrosse – plus 2 schools means 2 PTOs… and did I mention both fab!Hubby and I both have an hour(plus) commute? Whoosh – yep that's the time zooming by.
I have loved being able to refer to the Back to School board I threw together last month when I feel like I am in rut when it comes to dinner. With the weather beginning to change ever so slightly here (by this time some of you may already snow… but here we get summer, summer and more summer with a blip of a bit of cooler weather if we're lucky!) I am starting to crave those warmer, fall favorites. I've picked some recipes I'm looking forward to trying… hope you'll find something that inspires you and makes your evenings at little easier and a lot yummier.

David Henson on SNL's "DJesus Uncrossed" and the Violent Use of Jesus in America
David R. Henson (M.A. '09) responds to the controversial "DJesus Uncrossed" sketch on Saturday Night Live on February 16, taking aim at the way Jesus has been used for violence. [E]ven though the sketch satirized [Quentin] Tarantino, it also said something quite profound and revealing, if unintentionally, about how Americans have remade Jesus in our own violent images. Because, if truth be told, we've been trying to uncross Jesus for decades in this country, long before SNL got their pens into him. We have tried to arm him with our military-industrial complex, drape him with our xenophobia,...

Escaping the Ivory Tower: Practical Theological Scholarship
The motto of the Graduate Theological Union is "where religion meets the world," but what does it mean? It's easy to draw a line between what is "sacred" and "secular" (often whatever is not "sacred"), but that's not quite it either since religion is part of the world we know and the world interacts with religion. Rather, our motto emphasizes where faith traditions purposefully encounter people and events, sometimes in unique ways — describing this encounter as crossroads, bridges, and dialogue. The following are responses we received from current students and alumni regarding how their work...

You can find the very first version of VBS->JS conversion Addon at http://www.mediamonkey.com/beta/convertVBS2JS.mmip.
- Uses Regular Expressions, not a full VBS parser and so some language constructs (particularly complex, nested) can be misunderstood and thus converted incorrectly.
- There's an attempt to convert even UI code, but it's very rough, incomplete and rather intended for testing.
- More MM4->MM5 API conversions will be added.
Remember, this is the very first version, please leave us feedback, report missing features, submit your updated Regular Expressions, etc.
This topic is locked, so that you can subscribe it in order to receive updates about this script. Please discuss this script in other threads.

Talking about grooves and funk and grooves and funk, that's when Melon comes around.
Being one of Holland's finest all-round artists, grooving, funking, pumping, teasing and pushing will always be the red line in his monster sets. This Sunday a long monster set, just the way he likes it!


Hey! I'm new to the site, and just got into the show recently...I love it!
Just wondering how other fans feel about Angela forgiving Jordan at the end, but not Rayanne.
Is it because she was closer to Rayanne, and therefore the betrayal is worse coming from her? Or is it the stereotype of the guy appearing more "excuseable" in these types of situations?
It bugs me that Angela could patch things up with Jordan, while Rayanne is still an outcast. It takes two! Especially considering how Jordan treated Angela in their short-lived relationship.
I 'm not so sure Angela completely forgave Catalano, but it's easy to see she overlooks his betrayal more so than Rayanne's.
I'm not excusing Jordan's actions, however he was out of it when it came to girls (Angela's) feelings and as far as he figured they (him and Angela) were over. Maybe he wanted to hurt her by doing her best friend, maybe he's smarter than we give him credit for, knowing it would blow Angela's life away.
I can't really agree that it's a doublestandard, yet somehow that does seem to be the way it rolls.
What about Angela's new found respect (or love?) for Krakow, what does anybody think how that would have played out, would she date him or just ignore him out of total embarassment.
One of the reasons I was so pleased with the final episode (which I only just saw three days ago so it's fresh) was the way Angela looked at Brian at the end, even from Jordan's car. She was seeing him with new eyes. So I think she would have at the very least given dating Brian serious consideration.
Last edited by Kryzbn1 on Jun 9th 2008, 4:52 pm, edited 1 time in total.
As for the possibillity of a relationship between Angela and Brian, I like to think the last episode definitely shows Angela's increased awareness of his feelings. Now that they're on the table, I imagine her spending a lot of time struggling with her own feelings. If they ever do get together, I imagine it would take years. Sometimes more maturity is required to make those types of decisions!
I would imagine it hurt more that Rayanne betrayed her. Jordan was never that great of a boyfriend anyway. And him and Angela were not together when he slept with Rayanne. Not that it makes it any better, but they weren't. And I think the fact that he slept with her friend would have become more of an issue as the show went on. And I do think that Angela and Rayanne would have possibly become friends again, but I don't know if it would have ever truly been the same between them. Though I do think they would have hung out again at some point.
As for the Brian and Angel connection.... NO WAY! I definitely feel Angela had a new found realization about Brian in the finale, but I don't think there was any sort of *feelings* there on her bahalf. Her look to him in the end, I felt, was more of a 'Oh my God Brian, you do like me! I'm sorry I don't feel thee same way, but maybe now I might not treat you like crap as often' kinda look. I did not suspect a love connection there. Jordan treated her like crap half the time, and evetually she would have let him go. I just don't think Brian would be her next chioce. I only ever saw them as friends. But maybe that's just me.
I think that Rayanne is a person with more emotion than she seems to have. We could see this as the series went on, and how little things in scenes would show Rayanne almost sentimental. But she masked this. And because she masks things, it's no doubt that she felt totally guilty about what she had done to Angela, and she masked it by looking at it through a different perspective: that she was the one who really suffered and got hurt due to losing her best friend. She knew she really bombed and was a complete idiot.
And I agree with what some have been saying, that Angela and Rayanne would have eventually become friends again, but it wouldn't be the same. Maybe Angela would become closer once again with Sharon, now meet a new group of friends where Sharon and Ricky would become a part of as well. Maybe Delia would have been in their group too. Interesting to think about what kinds of characters any new friends would have been. Anyways, Due to Rayanne's stupid doings, I think she put the end to their true state of their friendship. I think they would have gone on to be occasional hanging out friends, but only the stop for a quick chat in the hall type. I think the situation that happened was just a big blow and things can never recover from that. How could it?
But it's obvious that Angela and Brian would have been the new stage of the series. I think slowly because they'd have to make things go with the speed of the show.
ETA: Oooh I'm the elusive Tino now.

Ion Codrescu lives in Constanţa, Romania. He teaches graphic arts in an art school and history of art at Ovidius University in Constanţa, as an associate professor. Art and poetry are two paths of his life. In 1992 he founded the Constanţa Haiku Society and the Albatross haiku journal, which he published as its editor for a decade. In 1992 and 1994 he organized the Constanţa International Haiku Festival. Between 2004 and 2007 he edited and published the international haiku journal Hermitage. In 2007 he received his Ph.D. in Visual Arts from the National University of Arts in Bucharest with a thesis on "Image and Text in Japanese and Western Haiga Painting." He is the author of thirteen books of poetry, haiga and essays published in Romania, France, Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. His poems, poetic prose and essays have received many prizes in Great Britain, Japan, Serbia and Montenegro, Romania, Bulgaria, France, and the USA, and have been published in 19 other countries. As an artist he has illustrated more than 100 books, magazines and journals. His paintings are housed in private and state collections (Setagaya Art Museum and Gunma Prefectural Museum, Japan) from many countries. All the works in this gallery were created for the book Something Out of Nothing: Original Haiku of North American Poets, Interpreted by Ion Codrescu (Winchester VA: Red Moon Press 2015, ISBN 978-1-936848-35-5).

Q: Big O notation and branching factor Lets say that you are trying to figure out what the best path to take is.  You have z number of possible moves and can make x number of moves at the same time.  You always do x number of moves at once, no more or less. How can you figure out the branching factor in terms of x and z?

A: the branching factor in this example is 1 - the size of the problem is not increasing - you had x options to start with, you followed them all and you have the same number of available moves. You appear to be effectively taking 1 step down each of x straight lines at once. no branching is occurring unless i have misunderstood your question (whcih is possible, cause i don't see what z has to do with it)

A: If you are generating x new states (one for each move valid move you can make) at every node then the branching factor is x if x is always less than z. If z is always less than x then the branching factor is z (as you can only make valid moves).

The popular osteoporosis medication Reclast has recently been associated with severe kidney impairment and acute renal failure. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a Drug Safety Communication stating that it is requiring Reclast warning labels to be updated to include information about this risk. The Reclast lawyers at Schmidt & Clark, LLP are currently investigating potential lawsuits nationwide on behalf of individuals injured by Reclast side effects.
It is important to note that the updated labeling changes will only be applied to Reclast, despite the fact that zoledronic acid, which is the active ingredient found in Reclast, is also sold as Zometa and marketed for the treatment of cancer-related indications. Renal toxicity is currently cited in the Warnings and Precautions section of the Zometa label. Dose reductions for Zometa are provided for individuals suffering from kidney impairment.
Additionally, do not use Reclast under any circumstances if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Reclast could cause harm to an unborn baby if exposed to the drug in utero. Always use an effective form of birth control when taking Reclast, and consult your healthcare provider immediately if you become pregnant during the course of treatment.

Q: Python rotating logger, how to keep restarts from overwriting the log file? I'm using a rotating logger create a log file every hour
import logging
import logging.config
import logging.handlers

tmppath = path.abspath(path.join(path.dirname(__file__), '..', '..', 'logging.ini'))
logging.config.fileConfig(tmppath)
logger = logging.getLogger("main.main")

The logging.ini contains these rules which say to use the file name
/var/log/myprogram/main.log and to start a new file every hour.
[loggers]
keys=root,main

[handlers]
keys=fileHandler, consoleHandler

....

[handler_fileHandler]
class=logging.handlers.TimedRotatingFileHandler
formatter=myFormatter
args=('/var/log/myprogram/main.log', 'm', 60, 336, )
[formatter_myFormatter]
format=%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s
datefmt=

This logger works great and creates a file per hour.
The problem is, when the program is restarted, the current log file
"/var/log/myprogram/main.log" is overwritten, so I lose some log time.
I could try to find the log file before activating logging and try to rename it "manually", but that seems really hacky.
Is there a way to configure logging to never overwrite a log file, but always append?
For my use case it would be acceptable, if after a restart the logging period is longer than an hour.

Q: find value of difference DISTINCT a column in PostgreSQL I have a table, I run count(capture_time) on a column the result is 616606. Also, I run count (DISTINCT capture_time) on the same column the result is 580580.
Now, I want to see the value of the 36026 rows.(616606 - 580580 = 36026)
Which query I can use?

A: You can use a GROUP BY to group all identical capture_time values. Then you filter on those capture_time values which exist more than one time by using HAVING. Something like this:
select * from tablename where capture_time in(select capture_time from tablename group by capture_time having count(*) > 1)


Free chapter of the Library Marketing Toolkit available for download!
My book on marketing libraries is completely finished, done, dusted, and is currently awaiting printing by Facet Publishing. It'll be out in July.
This is a pre-final proofs version of the chapter so there will be one or two minor changes in the real thing, but most of the content is the same.


Last July, while the sculpture was in progress, members of the officers' families and the Rev. John Dinello, pastor of the parish, stopped by Mr. Simon's studio.
"I wanted them to have a final look at it while I could still change things," the artist said. "The statue has to be expressive enough to carry these three families' emotions."
This version of St. Michael is a protective warrior with a watchful gaze. His left arm bears a shield and the right hand a sword. There's a cross on his belt. Instead of a coiled snake, decorative scrolls that represent clouds are at his feet. Heightening this ethereal effect are the beautifully formed, textured wings. Besides police officers, St. Michael is the patron saint of people who confront danger daily -- paratroopers, paramedics, fighter pilots and soldiers.
Bill Garrison, a first cousin of Officer Sciullo, recalled that when he grew up in Bloomfield with his extended family, "as long as you had a bike and a baseball glove, you were happy."
Co-founder of the advertising agency Garrison Hughes, Mr. Garrison served on a committee to plan the memorial and was delighted with the sculptor's work.
"He knew the deepness of it and he knew how sensitive it was," he said.
Public memorials are fraught with pitfalls; that pressure can weigh on some artists.
"I felt more privileged that they wanted me to do it," said Mr. Simon, whose relaxed air probably derives from his experience as a world traveler for 30 years, plus long residencies in Australia, England, Mexico and Brazil. Now 56, he returned to Pittsburgh about 11 years ago to help his mother care for his father, who had suffered a stroke.
Initially, Mr. Simon looked at how Renaissance and medieval artists portray St. Michael, who is often shown driving a sword into a snake that symbolizes Satan. He talked with Father Dinello and family members. Then, he worked with recycled clay to make a mold. Next, he made a rubber and plastic mold and packed sticky, architectural concrete into it.
"You pack it into the mold, which is the negative of a sculpture. By packing it instead of pouring it, it's already hollow when you pop it out," the artist said.
Concrete, he added, is suitable because the church's facade is brick and concrete.
"It's affordable. Bronze would be very expensive. They have a small budget and I'm also an expert at casting in concrete. I do everything here," he said.
The statue weighs 300 pounds; if it had been cast in bronze, it would have weighed at least 2,000 pounds.
A Pittsburgh native who grew up in Stanton Heights, Mr. Simon is best known for three, 15-foot-tall sculptures of musicians that stand on Downtown's Liberty Avenue in the city's Cultural District. He credits a high school ceramics teacher, Edward M. Kosewicz, as an inspiration.
At age 18, Mr. Simon was eager for experiential learning and the world became his classroom.
"I didn't know what I wanted to do. I knew that I wanted to travel."
In 1972, the day after he graduated from Peabody High School, he began hitchhiking to Berkeley, Calif., where he lived in a commune with 30 people.
Along the way, he learned to do carpentry and make stained glass. In the 1970s, he traipsed across Europe, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan and India. He also spent a year living on an orange farm near Sydney, Australia.
In the 1980s, he moved to Eugene, Ore., where he worked on large scale sculptures in a studio at the University of Oregon.
"I got along so well at the university that they gave me a great space and just let me do my thing," Mr. Simon said.
Back in California, he met Kato Havas, a child prodigy violinist and teacher who had known Bela Bartok, the famous Hungarian composer. Bewitched by the instrument and its gypsy melodies, Mr. Simon followed Ms. Havas to Oxford, England. She introduced him to Andrew Dipper, an internationally known expert in restoring musical instruments whose workshop was then based in Taynton, Oxfordshire, in the Cotswolds.
Later in the 1980s, "I was learning violin making and sculpture and carving, how to make varnishes and paints. It wasn't an academic environment. It was really an artistic environment. You learned by sweeping the floor and slowly learning how to do stuff," Mr. Simon recalled.
Today, Mr. Dipper lives in Minneapolis, Minn., and restores instruments for museums. He said Mr. Simon's relaxed manner belies a single-minded focus.
"You can't faze him at all. When he has some particular aim in mind, he will continue until the aim is met," he said. "I taught him a lot about casting and sculpting. He has a great facility with clay."
On a visit to see Mr. Dipper in Cremona, Italy, Mr. Simon befriended master violin maker Alvara Escalante, who invited him to move to Tepostlan, Mexico, a mountain village near Cuernevaca. There, Mr. Simon fell under the spell of Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, artist Francisco Toledoe and was inspired by Aztec, Mayan and pre-Columbian sculpture.
"And then I got the burning desire to do sculpture. I always felt that that was something that I loved."
Eventually, he devoted all his energy to sculpting because "sculpting offers more latitude for artistic expression. Violin making follows a strict formula," he said.
The next stop was Sao Paulo, Brazil.
"I went there to study tai chi. There's a big Chinese community there," Mr. Simon said.
When he returned home 11 years ago, he turned a vacant, two-story warehouse in Uptown on Gist Street into his home, using the first floor as a studio.
"James is very talented. We went through several images to get the right St. Michael," said Karla Owens, executive director of the Bloomfield Development Corp.
Father Dinello said family members and volunteers had definite ideas about how the memorial should look.
"We wanted it to be something strong to reflect what our police force was for our community. They are the strength behind the community. We didn't have block watch a few years ago. These officers were helping us get everything established."

The team at Freedom Insurance Group takes pride in their commitment to exceptional customer service, and we've got five tips to help you keep your home safe this fall season.
1. Test your smoke alarms.
All homeowners should check their smoke alarms at least once a month. You should create an emergency plan for the family and make sure that you practice it, as well. Research has proven that most home fire deaths result from smoke inhalation, so it's important to be vigilant about your alarms and your emergency plan.
2. Check your property, inside and out.
It's important to walk along your property and identify any places where injuries could occur. Do you see any areas where the ground is uneven and someone could trip? Are there any other hazards that require attention? Check inside for loose wires and poorly lit staircases, as well. To keep yourself covered in the event that your home is burglarized, Freedom Insurance Group, Inc. offers affordable homeowners' insurance for families that need it.
3. Double check hazardous materials.
Do you have medications locked and stored safely from children? Do you have household cleaners and chemicals out of reach of children? Is the Poison Control hotline number in a visible space in the event you need to call? It's always a good idea to revisit the items in your home that might be hazardous for both children and pets.
4. Sign up for the Neighborhood Watch.
Signing up with the local Neighborhood Watch is a great way to make sure that you feel safe in your home this fall. Knowing that your neighbors have their eyes out for suspicious activity is helpful and reassuring. Display the Neighborhood Watch sticker in a window that is visible to people form outside.
5. Think about your kitchen.
Do you keep an eye on the stove when you're cooking? Do you turn pot handles to the back of the stove to prevent knocking them over with boiling liquid in them? Kitchen safety is important in keeping your family safe this fall, and at Freedom Insurance Group, Inc. we help all of our customers find the best ways to keep their families safe this fall.

LACEY, Wash. – The Office of Campus Ministry at Saint Martin's University has been awarded a grant from the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities and Catholic Relief Services Global Solidarity Grant Program to help strengthen and expand its CRS Student Ambassador Program, which supports the work of Catholic Relief Services (CRS), the global relief arm of the Catholic Church.
The $3,000 grant will enable Campus Ministry to plan and carry out its new Justice in Action Leadership Formation Project, says Angela Carlin, M.Div., director of Campus Ministry, who will have oversight of the project. Planning for the project will begin this spring, and the project will begin during the 2017-18 academic year.
Carlin says the grant will enable the number of CRS Student Ambassadors to increase from the current two to six, and will pay for a formation retreat at the start of the academic year.
Carlin said she is excited about the possibilities the grant provides. "It's not just that we received money to do more on campus, but that we received money for leadership formation. We won't be just offering programs, but will also be empowering students to take the lead in sharing the beauty of our Catholic tradition and how it relates to social justice."
Saint Martin's two current ambassadors implement a variety of campus projects to build social justice awareness and action among fellow students. They have been able to attend a conference and a regional training session to learn how to do advocacy work. They also organize students to participate in activities like CRS Rice Bowl during Lent. Rice Bowl is a program that combines prayer, fasting and fund-raising for those in poverty worldwide.
Through next year's leadership formation project orientation and training, student ambassadors will learn how to plan, execute and assess CRS programming aimed at increasing education, advocacy and action surrounding Catholic Social Teaching in the area of social justice, Carlin says. With the extra leadership positions, increased programming can broaden its impact among students. Carlin says her goal is to make the program sustainable, as well as transformative and significant for students participating in program offerings.
Saint Martin's University is an independent, four-year, coeducational university located on a wooded campus of more than 300 acres in Lacey, Washington. Established in 1895 by the Catholic Order of Saint Benedict, the University is one of 14 Benedictine colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, and the only one west of the Rocky Mountains. Saint Martin's University prepares students for successful lives through its 25 majors and seven graduate programs spanning the liberal arts, business, education, nursing and engineering. Saint Martin's welcomes more than 1,243 undergraduate students and 277 graduate students from many ethnic and religious backgrounds to its Lacey campus, and 350 more students to its extended campus at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

Searching for photos associated with offensive "eggplant" images? Instagram now forbids it.
In case you've been under a rock in some paradise where not everything on the Internet is a euphemism, the eggplant emoji is pretty much synonymous with dongs at this point. In January, Instagram decided to put an end to the #EggplantFriday hashtag due to its graphic nature.
A spokesman for Instagram said the eggplant emoji was made unsearchable because it was 'consistently associated' with photos or videos that violate the social network's community standards.
Fair enough. Interestingly, you can still search for photos tagged with the banana and poop emoji. Will those be the next emoji hastags to be banned?

Top Best Dog Movies for Dog Lovers on Netflix
by Aastha Negi May 22, 2021 June 3, 2021 731
In films, furry stars are a rare phenomenon. Nobody can deny their existence or the volume of cuteness they give to the screen, though. From tragic to super-adventurous, the story has it all. Nobody ever said, "Humans are superior to dogs." Only those who have experienced a dog's unconditional affection and devotion will fully understand it. Every now and then, a dog film is released; it may be action-packed or a family drama, but all of these dog films demonstrate the incredible abilities of dogs and demonstrate why they are recognised as "a man's best friend."
If you have a puppy, you appreciate what it's like to cuddle with your fuzzy little closest buddy, and what's even cooler is cuddling with that furry friend while watching a film about other comfy warm creatures who remind you how lucky you are to have such a privilege in your life. We swear the planet would be a much happier place if only we could take our dogs wherever we wanted without any limits, but alas, that is not the case. As a result, we are unable to take our dogs to the movies. However, if we are unable to take our dogs to the cinema, we should carry the movies to them. As we have Netflix movies now, this can happen.
Top Movies for Dog Lovers (2021)
Does picking a Netflix show feel like a chore in and of itself? There are so many options to choose from that a half-hour has elapsed and you've not decided what to watch. When something happens to dog lovers, they go back to their old habits and look for something to do with dogs. Dogs make things right, even movies, in my opinion. And, thankfully, Netflix has a plethora of excellent options. Here are some top listed movies for dog lovers.
1. Benji Off The Leash (2004)
Benji Off The Leash is a touching tale about a young dog who is rescued from his estranged father by a young child. With the love and devotion of the little boy who protects him, the infant grows up into becoming Benji, a prototype hero. Benji, on the other hand, has a mission to complete: to save his mom from irresponsible breeding and death. Benji forms an alliance with Lizard Tongue, a street dog, and the two work together just to shield Benji's mother from an abusive person who is threatening to assassinate her. They tackle any obstacle along the way, including two police dogs, in order to stay alive and change the world because Benji is no longer on a chain.
2. Pet Fooled (2016)
'Pet Fooled' isn't like the other movies on this chart. This is a big eye-opening movie about the tainted pet food sector, not a touching dramatic film. We're gradually realising how commercial exploitation has harmed our lives, but do we ever consider how falsely marketed "good" pet food items could be harming our pets' lives? No, not until there isn't any. Because of all the truths it shares, this film will irritate you at moments, but it will undoubtedly broaden your horizons to the evil side of the commercial animal feed industry. This will also assist you in determining which foods are suitable for your animals and which foods should be completely avoided. Shiny, alluring tags, which are often misleading, conceal a number of major defects in their goods.
3. Beverly Hill Chihuahua: Viva La Fiesta! (2012)
This Netflix movie is about a pack of talking dogs. These movies are most likely created for youngsters because the pets in this one can talk and perform other complex jobs, which would be amusing for small children who love watching dog movies on Netflix for no other reason than to watch them. While it is not among the greatest movies on the list, this is the kind of movie that will keep your kids amused.
4. Hotel For Dogs (2009)
The movie 'Hotel for Dogs' is all about a hotel that is exclusively devoted to dogs, but it isn't as simple as it may seem. It all starts when Andy and Bruce, two siblings, find love with a homeless dog named Friday. Owing to their adoptive home's stringent no-pets policy, they seem unable to take Friday home. As a consequence, they plan to place him in a deserted hotel nearby so that he can re-enter society. As a result, they decide to house him in a nearby deserted hotel, which Bruce re-engineers into a comprehensive dog hotel. Friday isn't the only dog who has decided to make the motel their home. Many other dogs tend to reside there. Nevertheless, the location's constant barking and other disturbances start to arouse suspicion in the neighbourhood. To solve the problem and maintain the peace, Bruce and Andi must collaborate jointly. Bruce and Andi must work together to solve the issue while keeping their secret hidden from the elders and the community pound.
5. Balto (1995)
At moments, dogs can be brave champions, trying very hard to save the lives of those they love. Balto, a half-husky, half-wolf, risks his life to keep an outbreak from spreading through the city of Nome, and he does so not only for his family, but for the entire region. The film does an outstanding job of conveying the true nature of a faithful dog and comes highly recommended. This is one of the best dog movies on netflix.
6. Benji (1974)
The first installment of the 'Benji' franchise is amazing. The storyline is simple: it tells the story of Benji, a dog who enjoys his independence without a master and meets everyone in the community. When some of Benji's friends are kidnapped, he attempts to solve the case himself and discovers the criminal's plan to locate the kids and justify his fidelity. This film has a tendency to deliver both happy and sad tears. For all dog lovers out there, this is a must-see. This film has a tendency to deliver both happy and sad tears. This is a must-see movie for dog lovers.
7. The Champions (2015)
Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick was a member of an unofficial dog fighting ring where animals were beaten and tortured if they didn't attack in their games, according to the film. Vick was only imprisoned for a brief period of time for this crime, so the film starts by showing how manipulative a man can be at points but still get away with it. Owing to the confusion, 50 pit bulls were abandoned behind, and PETA dubbed them "deathtraps" because they were so distressed by the events. These puppies, on the other hand, were given an opportunity at life because they earned it. The film follows their growth from the day they are taken in until they become great buddies, as well as how they encourage everyone around them.
8. For The Love Of Benji (1977)
The 'Benji' series were a smash hit in the 1970s, and it's easy to see why once you watch them. Since this puppy is incredibly charismatic and adorable, you might call him a "Adorbs Pupper." Your soul would melt just staring at the little dog running around and doing what he's told. Benji grabs out a bogus CIA agent and finally wins everyone else's heart in this cute little chapter of the 'Benji' movies. Another of the best good dog movies on netflix you can stream with your friends is this one.
9. A Dog Walker's Christmas Tale (2015)
The plot of this film depicts the adventures of a 21-year-old female who relocates to a modern town and is forced to work as a dog walker for a wealthy developer. She sees a spa and cafe being constructed on the site of a nearby pet store while walking the dog one day. She is initially ecstatic about it, but once she becomes mates with another person who is also a dog trainer and detests those who want to demolish the dog park for a spa, she begins to doubt her own emotions. The girl has put her pride aside and banded together with her newfound friends to fight back against those attempting to ruin the area and save it until Christmas.
10. Beverly Hill Chihuahua (2009)
It's one of those movies for dog lovers in which the dogs can actually communicate. By chat, I mean actually speaking in English, which can be a little strange at times but also eliminates the presence of human actors from the film, so it all works out, doesn't it? During a holiday with her trainer in Mexico City, a speaking posh and privileged Chihuahua gets forgotten. This Netflix movie follows the journey of a dog who is trying to find her way back home and meets other dogs all along the way who will most likely become lifelong companions. If you're comfortable with dogs having real conversations with people, then you'll enjoy this exciting film about a missing dog's road home.
11. Turner And Hooch (1989)
The film, starring Tom Hanks, follows Detective Scott Turner, who leads a routine and organised life until one day he is tasked with investigating a murder case in which the only eyewitness is a vicious dog named Hooch. Turner's existence is thrown totally out of whack as he assumes the dog's duties and, over time, forms a connection with him. What else could you ask for when you have Tom Hanks and a puppy in the very same dog movie on Netflix?
12. Super Buddies (2013)
It all began with the movie "Air Bud," which influenced all of us as children, it is one of the best talking dog movies ever. After seeing a story about how a dog gives pleasure to everyone around him. One of the many films in the Air Bud collection is 'Super Buddies.' This one describes the magical tale of five dogs who each have their own special abilities. They save the universe by preventing a power-hungry extraterrestrial being, using their great powers. With years, the 'Air Bud' series lost its allure. However, for people who have been tracking the series from the beginning, this is still a fun film.
13. White Fang (2018)
White Fang is a screen adaptation of Jack London's classic novel of the same name. It follows the exploits of a wolf-dog as he lives with three separate bosses. The tale of White Fang has moved many hearts over the years, and it will continue to do so in the future. The aesthetics in this film version of the story are excellent, linking you to the main protagonist and the exquisite soundtrack. 'White Fang' is a film for adults as well as children, and it will bring you on the brink of floods of tears.
14. 101 Dalmatians (1996)
After a strange twist of fate, a depressed game artist named Roger meets Anita, a stunning fashion photographer, in a dog park. Soon after, the two fall in affection and marry, and Perdita, Anita's dog, becomes pregnant with Roger's dog, both of whom are dalmatians. All seems to be in order before Anita's wicked and glamorous boss abducts all of the dogs in order to make a jacket out of their beautiful fur. But the dogs quickly figure out Cruella's plans, and they devise their own scheme against Cruella. Live-action adaptations of original cartoon characters don't always succeed, but this one does. It isn't just as good as the animated movie, but it'll make you believe that this live-action film is much superior to the prototype.
15. Benji (2018)
You're wondering exactly if this is a compilation of dog films or just Benji movies at this point. Apologies, but we just can't get enough of adorable little mystery-solving puppies, and Hollywood obviously can't too, since they keep making remakes of it for the last few years. This film's plot is somewhat comparable to the first one, which was released in the early 1970s. Benji meets two young children and then sets out to save them once they are abducted. While this is a recreation of a classic, it strives to move you almost as much as the prototype and will certainly have you weeping.
If you are depressed, tired, or feeling lonely, dogs can be your lifesaver. They are the cutest little animals God has created for you. If you do not have a pet, hop on to some amazing Netflix movies. Whether it's The Benji or The Dalmatians, various dog movies will enlighten your mood and cheer you up. Have a look at the dozen movies for dog lovers available on Netflix. You can also stream with your friends and family as such films make for great quality time. Watch together and have a blast at your home.

Fiat Chrysler withdraws proposed merger with Renault
WTKR.com Jun 6 2019
Email Fiat Chrysler has withdrawn its proposal to merge with French automaker Renault — a deal that would have reshaped the global auto industry and helped the carmakers compete in the race for electric and self-driving vehicles. The company said Wednesday that it "has become clear that the political conditions in France do not currently exist for such a combination to proceed successfully." Earlier in the day, Renault said that the French government had requested its board of directors postpone the vote on the merger. France, which owns 15% of Renault and is the company's largest shareholder, previously indicated that ...

Okay, this is the MAIN reason why I love high-waisted jeans so much. Before I proceed to tell you why the fit of high-waisted jeans is so awesome, it's important to note that not all jeans are created equal. If you've tried on a pair of high-waisted jeans and thought, "no way, this is not for me," don't be dismayed! The right pair of high-waisted jeans should hit you at the most narrow part of your waist--find a pair that does this! Some are too high, and some are not high enough. When you find a pair that hits you are the perfect point, it will give you that illusion of a tiny waistline while making your legs look SO LONG. Seriously, whenever people compliment me on my long legs, I'm like, "girl, it's mainly the high-waisted jeans."
Aside from high-waisted jeans being JEANS (meaning they look great with just about everything), they're also great for all ages. Yes, I said it! Some women are timid about trying high-waisted jeans because they think that style is just for the "young girls," but it's so not. Woman of all ages can benefit from having jeans that fit great and show off their waistline. If you're concerned with looking age appropriate, then look for timeless styles that don't feature distressing, appliqué, or other trendy details.
High-waisted jeans come in an ENDLESS variety of styles, so you're sure to be able to find a pair you love. The list could go on forever, but different styles include distressed, skinny, mom, straight, flare, dark wash, light wash, appliquéd, raw hem, multi-button, and more. It's great to have a basic everyday pair of high-waisted jeans, but once you have some everyday jeans, have some fun with it and try more unique styles!
Still not convinced? Stop in & let us show you our high-waisted KanCan jeans! They are so flattering and comfortable. I think you'll love them.

Cavendish a crash-free victor
Hushovd keeps lead; one crash claims one of the race's favorites

"We kind of knew that this could be the last very nervous stage so we were extremely cautious and focused on keeping (three-time Tour champion Alberto Contador) out of trouble, and the boys did a perfect job," said Bradley McGee, the Saxo Bank-SunGard team director.
CHRISTOPHE ENA/AP
A pileup toward the end of the 135-mile course across the Loire River valley cost British champion Bradley Wiggins any shot of a top-three finish in Paris. Team Sky's leader crashed out of the race with what the team said was a broken collarbone.
CHATEAUROUX, France – Finally, the mountains.
After seven days of narrow, sinewy roads and sometimes fierce rain, Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck await a change of scenery. They made it through the crash-marred first week of the Tour de France relatively unscathed. Although the hills in today's eighth stage are far less daunting than the climbs to come in the Pyrenees and Alps, they will be a welcome sight.
"It will be a relief after several nervous and dangerous stages," Schleck said.
British sprinter Mark Cavendish won Friday's seventh stage. He did so in the same town – Chateauroux – where he won the first of his 17 Tour de France stages in 2008. Norway's Thor Hushovd kept the yellow jersey.
Another British rider, Sky team leader Bradley Wiggins, was knocked out of the race after breaking his left collarbone in a crash that took down several riders.
Cadel Evans remained in second place, one second behind Hushovd. Schleck is 12 seconds behind in seventh, and Contador is 1:42 off the lead in 24th.
Bigger gaps may start to appear by tonight after the first of two consecutive medium mountain stages – although Contador and Schleck might not attack each other just yet.
"Whether any of the favorites will be dropped depends on whether the race is hard from the gun," Contador said. "Hopefully, (today) when I wake up, I'll be in perfect condition."
Today's ride up to the Super-Besse ski resort gives Contador, Schleck and Evans a chance to distance themselves from lesser climbers.
"The time gaps will be small but large enough to shift the overall classification," Schleck said.
The stage ends with a short but sharp climb up to Super-Besse.
"It cannot be underestimated," Schleck said.
Contador was left with cuts and bruises when he came off his saddle two days ago. Wiggins, who finished fourth overall in 2009, was not so lucky Friday.
The same crash also claimed RadioShack veteran Chris Horner. He fractured his nose and rode for almost 24 miles on sheer grit. He was later diagnosed with a concussion and a bruised calf, and his team will decide this morning if he can keep racing.
Cavendish, who rides for HTC-Highroad, sprinted out of the pack in the last few hundred yards, beating Alessandro Petacchi and Andre Greipel to the finish.
Cavendish celebrated the same way as in 2008, clasping his head in both hands at the finish line.
"It was a tribute to winning here three years ago," he said. "I wanted to do the same gesture as 2008."
When a dazed Horner crossed the line, the American hardly knew what town he was in.
"Another day, another crash," RadioShack rider Yaroslav Popovych sang as he reached the sanctuary of his team bus. Another rider, Astana's Roman Kreuziger, also went to the hospital for a scan on his left wrist.
"Sorry for those injured (Friday)," Evans said. "Especially 'old mate' Chris Horner. Hope you're healing well."
Outside Sky's team bus the mood was downcast. Dave Brailsford, the team's manager, took in the news that his riders had lost their leader.
"Really bad day for the team because I was really looking forward to riding for (Wiggins) in the mountains," Sky teammate Geraint Thomas said. "We were lucky until now."
After Thursday's treacherous rainfall, described by Evans as the worst he had seen on seven Tours, riders again set off under a heavy shower Friday on the 135-mile trip from Le Mans to Chateauroux.
The rain was brief, soon turning to sunshine, and it appeared the stage would be a pleasant stroll through the French countryside as the pack let an early four-man breakaway go.
Riders casually picked up their lunch bags just after rolling across the Loire River at Chaumont-sur-Loire, traversing the former hunting grounds of Francois I and other French kings.
But there was no roast pheasant or wild boar, only bland energy bars as riders passed the former French monarchy's most elaborate chateaux, including Chambord, Amboise and Chenonceaux – the former residence of Catherine de Medici, perched on the River Cher with its sprawling gardens stretching into thick forests.
Then two crashes came out of nowhere, the second taking down Wiggins and Horner and shattering the already battered pack again.
After another wreck, RadioShack tunes into different frequency
CHATEAUROUX, France – RadioShack riders Chris Horner lost consciousness after a bad crash, and American teammate Levi Leipheimer lost more than three minutes during the seventh stage at the Tour de France.
Team manager Johan Bruyneel said Friday that Horner will go to a hospital for tests and is unlikely to start Saturday's stage.
Both riders are out of contention for the overall win. Mark Cavendish won the crash-marred seventh stage, while Thor Hushovd retained the yellow jersey.
Leipheimer also fell and said it was "chaos" on the road. He said he will work for teammate Andreas Kloeden, who is fifth in the overall standings, 10 seconds behind Hushovd.
