ABSTRACT: Historically, psi effects have been linked to altered states of consciousness (ASCs; Bem & Honorton, 1994). In this context, arguably the most widely used technique is the Ganzfeld. However, in recent times, scholars (e.g., Alvarado, 1998; Braud, 2005; Scimeca, Boca, & Iannuzzo, 2001) have formulated cogent arguments that cast doubt on whether the Ganzfeld is, in fact, an ASC that is psi-conducive. Consequently, it may prove prudent to investigate other conditions that induce ostensible ASCs that are purportedly psi-conducive, and it would be wise to get feedback from test participants in these states. In this theoretical paper, we propose that psi effects may be enhanced (i.e., strengthened) using a shamanic-like treatment. On that basis, we argue that parapsychologists must go beyond the assumption that psi effects are optimised under conditions that are inherently passive procedures, and foster techniques that require cognitive action from test participants.
ABSTRACT: I note the similarity of an electron's wavefunction to a human consciousness in three examples: (i) The diffraction of an electron's wavefunction by a double slit into two wavepackets and the reported location of a human consciousness in two separate regions of space; (ii) an electron wavefunction with spin-up and spin-down terms simultaneously and a person undecided on two possible courses of action; and (iii) two electrons' wavefunctions entangled and identical human twins suffering the same pain while separated by thousands of miles. I hypothesize that the electron's wavefunction and the human's consciousness are so similar that the electron's wavefunction is conscious and the human consciousness is a wavefunction. This marries consciousness with quantum mechanics. I suggest an experiment that might be due to a human conscious wavefunction's interacting with an electron's conscious wavefunction, namely, where a human volunteer attempts to mentally flip the spin of a lone electron. I give the details of such an atomic experiment. If successful, this phenomenon could be used to turn human thought into a PowerPoint message, projected onto a screen letter by letter.
ABSTRACT: Psychic reading is a method used to foretell the future of an individual. However, cold reading is a non-paranormal technique used by many self-claimed psychics and mediums to determine details about another person in order to convince them that the reader knows much more about a subject than he or she actually does. We wanted to explore some strategies for using and appraising the so-called "token-object" effect common in psychic reading. We planned to follow the design of our earlier research using a psychometry procedure with a sample of ordinary people (non-psychics) and a sample of self-claimed psychics. One of the aims of the study was to determine if the 'psychics' participants could give impressions while touching the objects of two sitters. The experiment was introduced to the participants by telling them that two different conditions, "face-to-face" and "remote" psychometry, were being undertaken using a physical object as psi-stimuli. The sample consisted of 83 participants. We concluded that those participants who claimed to have psychometry psi ability ("Psychic" group) showed greater psi hitting than "Non-Psychics" in both conditions ("remote" and "face-to-face"). Because face-to-face readings allow for sensory cues, no firm conclusion of "genuine" psi can be justified from such an experiment. Therefore we should treat this significant finding with caution.
ABSTRACT: Previous research has demonstrated the effects of ostensible subtle energy on physical systems and subjective experience. However, one subtle energy technique that has been neglected by previous studies, despite anecdotal support for its efficacy, is Quantum BioEnergetics (QBE). Furthermore, personality traits that influence subtle energy effects remain unclear, and previous experimental studies have not investigated the constructs of Love and Joy, despite qualitative and anecdotal reports indicating that these variants of positive affect are essential elements of the subtle energy experience. The aim of the present study was to investigate experimentally the effects of QBE, and the personality trait Mental Boundaries, on positive and negative affect. Participants (N = 69) were administered the Boundary Questionnaire Short Form to quantify Boundaries, and then randomly assigned to one of three conditions: QBE, Placebo ("sham"), or Control. Affect was retrospectively assessed using the Positive and Negative Affect subdimensions of the Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory (PCI). As predicted, a significant multivariate effect for condition was found with regards to the PCI subdimensions: Joy, Sexual Excitement, Love, Anger, Sadness, and Fear. In contrast to our expectations, a significant multivariate effect was not found for Boundaries with regards to the combined PCI-Affect variables. As hypothesized, significant interactions were found between condition and Boundaries with regards to Positive Affect, Love and Joy, with the QBE/Thin Boundaries factorial combination associated with the highest mean scores for these dependent variables. It will be prudent to ascertain whether these results are replicated in a larger sample and a placebo condition that improves on the standard randomized placebo-controlled protocols of previous subtle energy research.
Things That Go Bump, By Day and by Night: An Expectancy Effect?
ABSTRACT: This is a report of a further self-test using a Schmidt Random Number Generator—the tenth such study in the series. The experimenter-participant is prone to experiencing unusual percussive or vibratory phenomena (usually occurring in his feet or on his back). Hypothesising that a psi element may be involved, the experimenter-participant conducted 856 runs (100 binary trials each run) under six different conditions, before the percussive phenomena abruptly ceased. An early dramatic within-session decline effect led to the incorporation of a test for this effect in all sessions individually and combined. Magnitude scores were analyzed in addition to deviation scores. The main results were overall decline effects from the first-half of a session to the second-half of the session, for both types of score. In the case of magnitude scores, the second-half mean run-score was significantly below chance. The author attributes these effects to a general expectation of significant results.
ABSTRACT: In six studies on the I Ching—an ancient Chinese system of divination—successful predictions of first- and second-hexagrams (i.e., hexagram hitting) based on pre-selections of corresponding descriptor-pairs have ranged from chance, to significantly above chance. No significant effect below chance has ever been found. Hexagram hitting has been predicted by measures such as paranormal belief, time perspective, and meaningfulness. Storm (2008a) found a near-significant aggregate hexagram hit rate of 27%. Though these results are encouraging, there has been no assessment of the reliability and validity of the main test instrument used in the I Ching studies, the Hexagram Descriptor Form (HDF). To test the validity of the HDF, three control methods were tested against the experimental method. Taking first- and second-hexagram hit rates together, three out of 22 tests on the experimental method (14%) were significant or near-significant. Three significant or near-significant outcomes out of 66 control tests (4.5%) were attributed to chance. Inter-rater reliability was tested using two I Ching experts who judged the 64 descriptor-pairs of the HDF for suitability against their corresponding hexagram readings. The correlation between judges' ratings was not significant (the mean rating ranged between 60% and 82%). Using the pooled data of six studies, the HDF was tested for possible selection and outcome biases. A selection bias was found, but no outcome biases were found. The I Ching and the HDF were considered suitable for parapsychological research.
Dream Manifestations: A Paranormal Experience?
ABSTRACT: The current research investigated the life-after-death (LAD) experience of a 30-year-old Australian female. The experient encountered somatosensory and auditory contact from her deceased father who woke her from the dream she was having of him. Analysis considered personality and social influences, and potential psychological explanations from Freudian, Gestalt, and Adlerian and Jungian perspectives. The experience was further evaluated theoretically with geophysical, biological and neurochemical determinants, all of which claim differing degrees of scientific support. Although a genuine LAD experience could not be refuted, the most scientifically plausible explanation identified Rapid Eye Movement (REM) extending into hypnopompic stages of sleep due to a delayed REM-off condition. But, other factors were identified as influencing the quality, timing and duration of REM and, thus, a definitive causal explanation remained elusive.
ABSTRACT: In a previous article (Storm & Rock, 2009) we proposed an imagery cultivation model to be at least as psi-conducive as the Ganzfeld, based on anthropological and parapsychological claims concerning alleged psi effects during shamanic practices. Imagery cultivation is associated with shamanic states during which state the percipient actively propagates or cultivates psi-related images. Since psi-modifying variables should also be investigated in psi research, paranormal belief/experience (as measured on Thalbourne's, 1995, Australian Sheep-Goat Scale), and Transliminality (the tendency for psychological material to cross into or out of consciousness; see Thalbourne & Houran, 2000) were tested in the present study as possible predictors of psi. Non-shaman participants (N = 108) were randomly assigned to one of two conditions: (1) a control condition (n = 53) consisting of sitting quietly with eyes open; or (2) a treatment condition (n = 55) that involved shamanic-like journeying instructions followed by 15 minutes of monotonous drumming (8 b.p.s.). Participants were required to describe verbally, and then rank a randomly-selected concealed line-drawing, which they held throughout the condition. Number of direct hits (34.5% where PMCE = 25%) in the shamanic-like condition was significant, z = 1.66 (p = .048, one-tailed), but the hit rate for control-condition participants was at chance (22.6%, z = -0.40, p = .345, one-tailed). Post hoc, we found significant extreme effects—that is, preferences for ranks #1 and #4 independent of condition for the whole sample (N = 108, 65 hits, 60%, p = .042, two-tailed). Neither transliminality nor ASGS scores predicted hit rates.
ABSTRACT: The sense of being stared at may be interpreted as a psi phenomenon. However, previous research has neglected to investigate this experience using a psi-conducive environment such as the Ganzfeld. Furthermore, the personality traits that influence the sense of being stared at remain unclear and previous studies have not investigated the phenomenological correlates of this phenomenon. The aim of the present study was, therefore, to synthesise Ganzfeld and remote staring methodology in order to experimentally investigate the effect of the Ganzfeld on the sense of being stared at. Personality and phenomenological correlates of the sense of being stared at were also examined. Forty "receivers" were administered the Short Boundary Questionnaire to quantify a personality trait referred to as mental boundaries. Receivers were randomly assigned to either a Ganzfeld or non-Ganzfeld condition, and administered 20 randomized staring/non-staring trials. Receivers' phenomenology was retrospectively assessed using the Phenomenology of Consciousness Inventory (PCI). Only the hits (i.e., correct guesses) for the Ganzfeld/non-staring trials were significantly greater than MCE (i.e., mean chance expectation). There was not a significant main effect for the Ganzfeld/non-Ganzfeld factor with regards to hit rate, but there was a significant main effect for staring/non-staring. Furthermore, there was no significant interaction between these factors. The correlation between mental boundaries and staring hit rate approached significance. For the Ganzfeld group, both PCI-volitional control and PCI-rationality were significantly positively correlated with non-staring hit rate. For the non-Ganzfeld group, PCI-altered experience was significantly positively correlated with staring hit rate. Future research might use a complementary mixed-method to further investigate the phenomenology of a receiver's sense of being stared at during Ganzfeld and non-Ganzfeld stimulus conditions.


The sunshine manufactured by fluorescent light bulbs normally provides a bluish white-colored high-quality that will possibly not may appear just as genuine while light source out of incandescents. You'll find an inkling of space from studying colour temperatures recommended relating to the package. Brightness provided by the candent medulla frequently contains one hot and cold temperature regarding 2,700 Thousand, consequently if you want a more natural light, you'll want to pay for a concise fluorescent fixture lamp fixture of this equal temperature. Lighting along with a temp involving 3,000 K in order to 3,500 Thousand produces a unbiased light light. Something earlier mentioned 4,000 Nited kingdom might be closer to daylight.

The course of cholelithiasis varies among individuals. Most people with cholelithiasis have no symptoms at all. A minority of patients with gallstones develop symptoms: severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, and complete blockage of the bile ducts that may pose the risk of infection.
Cholelithiasis can lead to cholecystitis, inflammation of the gallbladder. Acute gallstone attacks may be managed with intravenous medications. Chronic (long-standing) cholelithiasis is treated by surgical removal of the gallbladder.
Symptoms and complications result from effects occurring within the gallbladder or from stones that escape the gallbladder to lodge in the CBD.
Patients with the lithogenic state or asymptomatic gallstones have no abnormal findings on physical examination.
Most asymptomatic patients decide that the discomfort, expense, and risk of elective surgery are not worth removing an organ that may never cause clinical illness. However, if symptoms occur, gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) is indicated because pain is likely to recur and serious complications can develop.
Surgery: Surgery can be done with an open or a laparoscopic technique.
Open cholecystectomy, which involves a large abdominal incision and direct exploration, is safe and effective. Its overall mortality rate is about 0.1% when done electively during a period free of complications.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice. Using video endoscopy and instrumentation through small abdominal incisions, the procedure is less invasive than open cholecystectomy. The result is a much shorter convalescence, decreased postoperative discomfort, improved cosmetic results, yet no increase in morbidity or mortality. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is converted to an open procedure in 2 to 5% of patients, usually because biliary anatomy cannot be identified or a complication cannot be managed. Older age typically increases the risks of any type of surgery.
Cholecystectomy effectively prevents future biliary colic but is less effective for preventing atypical symptoms such as dyspepsia. Cholecystectomy does not result in nutritional problems or a need for dietary limitations. Some patients develop diarrhea, often because bile salt malabsorption in the ileum is unmasked. Prophylactic cholecystectomy is warranted in asymptomatic patients with cholelithiasis only if they have large gallstones (> 3 cm) or a calcified gallbladder (porcelain gallbladder); these conditions increase the risk of gallbladder carcinoma.
Stone dissolution: For patients who decline surgery or who are at high surgical risk (eg, because of concomitant medical disorders or advanced age), gallbladder stones can sometimes be dissolved by ingesting bile acids orally for many months. The best candidates for this treatment are those with small, radiolucent stones (more likely to be composed of cholesterol) in a functioning nonobstructed gallbladder (indicated by normal filling detected during cholescintigraphy or oral cholecystography or by absence of stones in the neck).
Ursodeoxycholic acid 4 to 5 mg/kg po bid or 3 mg/kg po tid (8 to 10 mg/kg/day) dissolves 80% of tiny stones < 0.5 cm in diameter within 6 mo. For larger stones (the majority), the success rate is much lower, even with higher doses of ursodeoxycholic acid. Further, after successful dissolution, stones recur in 50% within 5 yr. Most patients are thus not candidates and prefer laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, ursodeoxycholic acid 300 mg po bid can help prevent stone formation in morbidly obese patients who are losing weight rapidly after bariatric surgery or while on a very low calorie diet.


You may find Ian Fleming's third James Bond novel, Moonraker , to be a surprising, refreshing read for several reasons.
First, it is new to those who have only watched the movie adaptations. Moonraker the novel has very little relationship to the 11th Bond film, starring Roger Moore, where Moore's Bond is trying to prevent a global conspiracy involving the Space Shuttle.
Second, Bond is humanized. The impressive perfection of Bond in Casino Royale is smoothed out and Ian Fleming, after two other Bond novels, is easing into this super spy's mystique, his aura, and the nature of this suave and sophisticated man of mystery. The uncomfortable 1950s racial elements of Live and Let Die are thankfully completely absent here. Here we see Bond at home, Bond buying a car, Bond's daily life as Agent 007, including reviewing forms as any government analyst might do. We get to see that Bond's life, outside the novels, is routine. It's a Bond you may never thought you would get to see, if all you have seen are the films.
Third, Hugo Drax is a fantastic villain. Even James Bond admires Drax and acknowledges it to other characters throughout Moonraker. Bond's preoccupation with Drax's looks, his facial hair and the odd close-cut workers and their own myriad variety of moustaches is simply intriguing.
Fourth, we get to see Bond commiserate away from the Secret Service offices with M himself. M invites Bond to an exclusive club called Blades, one of the most perfectly described locations in the Bond universe. One might think we've seen Bond already do the card game bit in Casino Royale , yet Moonraker's card war is strangely epic.
Fifth, you'll find some classic supporting villains that could be found in classic Hollywood mystery stories, including Krebs, a Wormtongue-toady type who at one time could have been played smartly by Peter Lorre. There's even a classic mad scientist.
Moonraker finds Bond summoned to M's office where M proceeds to explain the need for a personal favor. A certain member of the oldest gentleman's club in all of jolly old England has been caught cheating at cards. What kind of a man–a man who could afford to play the highest stakes of games in a club so exclusive only 200 members are ever allowed on the roster–would risk his reputation and membership on such arrogance and stupidity?
M calls on Bond because he is known around the service as the card player to beat, with a background knowledge of every trick in the book, and Fleming goes to some lengths in explaining the games and the ruses, not in any overdone way but just enough to immerse the reader in Bond's world. The club has the high brow feel of the club of Duke & Duke in Trading Places, and throughout the novel I wondered if any of Moonraker's vivid descriptions directly inspired movie script locations like the exclusive Bushwood Country Club in Caddyshack.
It doesn't take long for Bond to figure out a way to foil the great cheating millionaire. But this millionaire, Sir Hugo Drax, is key to the British government's most important pet project–he is the mind behind the Moonraker missile project. Moonraker is Great Britain's first nuclear weapon and the future of the UK's national defense system. The significance of the first test of said missile causes M to pull Bond in when a member of the security team is killed at the launch site. Bond takes over the role, which forces him to work one on one with Drax.
At first Bond loathes Drax and continuously finds ways to criticize him to M, yet once he follows Drax to examine his new creation he is rightly impressed with his ability to pull together a team of researchers and support staff, including 50 Germans, to complete this monumental project. His work on site causes him to partner with the obligatory Bond girl of this novel, Gala Brand, a Scotland Yard agent posing as Drax's personal assistant.
Moonraker is full of good action scenes–Bond chasing after Brand when she is kidnapped, Bond and Brand hiding with the missile silo walls, more than one murder attempt against Bond, the grand card game, and uncovering the secret purpose of the Moonraker rocket. Where Casino Royale was exciting from a plot standpoint but not so much in-depth as far as character is concerned, and where Live and Let Die is now somewhat dated, Ian Fleming's writing in Moonraker is vivid, rich, and compelling.
Moonraker would be ideal as a film remake today. With Dame Judith Dench as M, it would be fascinating to see how Bond could be a friend of sorts assisting M after hours on more of a social mission than a political one. And translating the V-2-inspired rocket and Cold War themes into something compelling today would be a fun challenge for the keepers of the James Bond mantle.

"Recently, it was my privilege to teach, as well as to preach, at the Robert E. Webber Institute of Worship Studies in Jackonsonville, FL. I was singularly impressed with both the rich scholarship and the profound worship manifest there…indeed, I could hardly tell the difference!
"Charles Wesley appealed to 18th century Methodists: 'Let us unite the two so long divided: Knowledge and Vital Piety!' Many have responded to Wesley's challenge, most with limited success. In my estimation, none have taken it quite so seriously and realized it as successfully as IWS.
The Institute for Worship Studies was founded with that question in mind.
More and more professors of church music, music ministers and pastors realize there is a gap in their education. They have the music education and the skills for music and worship leadership, but they lack the knowledge of the biblical foundations, historical development, theological reflection and cultural analysis for effective worship ministry in today's world.
IWS was founded by Robert E. Webber to meet this need and prepare leaders for the challenging task of worship ministry in a complex and rapidly changing world.
We're glad you've found your way here. We hope the information on this website will help you understand how IWS can impact your ministry and explore whether God is indeed calling you here.

PHOTO STORY: Counter-rallies challenge 'Reclaim Australia'
Sarah Hathway
Adelaide. Photo: Welcome to Australia via Facebook.
About 2000 people joined a rally against racism in Federation Square on April 4.
The Melbourne rally was the largest counter-mobilisation against the racist, "Reclaim Australia" protests organised across Australia. The Melbourne "Reclaim Australia" event was attended by about 500 people.
The "Reclaim Australia" protests were organised by groups associated with the neo-Nazi and Christian fundamentalist far-right. A prominent spokesperson for them was Shermon Burgess, who has taken to calling himself "The Great Aussie Patriot" and is either a member or ex-member of the Australian Defence League, the Australian offshoot of English Defence Group, an outfit known for its criminality and racist violence.
Burgess is on the public record supporting killing asylum seekers and Muslims and describing Aboriginal people as "just dickheads … on metho, passed out, bludging cigarettes, and still blaming the modern generation for what happened 200 years ago". However, New Matilda reported on April 4 that on becoming the public face of "Reclaim Australia", Burgess made a clumsy pretense of having changed his views on Aboriginal people.
"Reclaim Australia" has claimed to support Indigenous rights. First Nations activists however, are not fooled. The Blackfulla Revolution Facebook page said: "We stand strongly opposed to 'Reclaim Australia', just another brand of the kind of racism this country was founded on through dispossession and genocide of First Nations. Every racist who posts to this page seems to support 'Reclaim Australia' and there's nothing coincidental about it.
"Muslim brothers and sisters have shown great solidarity in recent weeks and we stand with you in rejecting all forms of oppression and bigotry. Full support to all opposing the hate brigade."
Indigenous activists were prominent in the counter-mobilisations against Reclaim Australia. Burgess's efforts to disguise his anti-Aboriginal racism are in line with the "Reclaim Australia" organisers strategy of denying their racism and framing their rallies in terms of opposition to "Islamic extremism". This has been enabled by the increasing scaremongering around a much exaggerated threat of terrorism and scapegoating of Muslims and asylum seekers by mainstream political parties and media -- tactics used to divert attention from unpopular government policies and justify anti-democratic laws.
Their demands include stopping Sharia law being enforced in Australia, banning Halal certification, introducing "pride" in the Australian flag and the national anthem at schools, and to ban the burqa (or equivalent). All of these demands, absurd or extremist as they are, can be regularly heard in federal parliament and the opinion pages of the Murdoch press.
Despite claims that "Reclaim Australia" was not a racist or neo-Nazi event, several participants had visible SS and swastika tattoos.
The Melbourne counter-rally built on the success of the previous week's 15,000-strong rally for refugees, which the media largely ignored. In contrast, the media heavily reported "Reclaim Australia".
Not only did the the media take the claims by "Reclaim Australia" organisersthat they were not racist at face value, media reports suggested the racists' professed concern about the threat of Sharia law being implemented was based on a genuine possibility.
The irony of quoting Catch the Fire Ministries' Danny Nalliah -- the same Danny Naliah who infamously attributed the 2008 Black Saturday bushfires to God's vengeance for the relaxation of Victoria's abortion laws -- as a spokesperson for a rally against "religious extremism" escaped the mainstream press.
The counter-protesters in Melbourne held Federation Square, despite violently being attacked by neo-Nazis at the "Reclaim Australia" event. At least one neo-Nazi attacked protesters with a knife. Victoria Police protected the racists. At least two people at Melbourne's rally against racism were also knocked unconscious by by mounted police. Horses were used repeatedly against the anti-racists.
In Sydney, heavy rain reduced numbers and police kept the racists and anti-racists separate. NSW Police had previously denied the anti-racists permission to rally in Martin Place, despite granted the racist rally permission. Police threatened legal action against counter-mobilisation organisers if they advertised their rally in Martin Place.
About 150 anti-racist protesters listened to speakers including Refugee Action Coalition and NTEU member Nick Riemer, Paul Keating from the Maritime Union of Australia, Kuranda Syiet from Forum on Australia's Islamic Relations and rally initiator Camilo Zannoni. They then marched towards Martin Place, but were blocked by riot police.
In Canberra, there were about 30 racists and 30 anti-racists. Numbers at the anti-racism rally were low as "Reclaim Australia" pretended to cancel the event in the week before.
In Hobart, 100 anti-racists racism surrounded the 40-strong "Reclaim Australia" events.
Anti-racists also confronted "Reclaim Australia" events in Brisbane, where veteran racist Pauline Hanson was drowned out by anti-racist chants. In Adelaide, Perth, and Newcastle, police tried to bully anti-racists into not having a counter protest.

Peterson was no threat. That was a showcase before the fight was announced. That was canelo on Jose. Who has knocked out broner or Easter in a fight?
Peterson was said to be a stiff test by many, people on this very site ...if Garcia is not koing guys at 140 he is not coming up with heat to hurt Spendce and it is not like Garcia is some master boxer with mayweather evasiveness lol. The truth is in the square of course and it is a feeling in boxing that "anything" can happen in a fight, but bar rthat anything, I just see Spence as superior to Garcia and he is not merely brute strength and aggression. Spence is very methodical in Mike the body snatcher Mccallum type fashion, and opponents land less than 30 percent of their power punches against him.
Wasn't it the opposite eye? We obviously saw the fight differently. I saw a very game Brook who, like vs GGG, wilted under the non stop pressure of a bigger puncher. He boxed well, but ran out of ideas and faded. Conversely, Spence withstood Brooks initial onslaught and seemingly got stronger each round. That, to me, is a testament to not only skill but conditioning and the results of competing with the likes of Jermell Charlo and other quality boxer every training camp. That's a direct result of sparring top tier guys on your rise to the top and continuing that trend instead of being fed cupcakes to boost your ego like some guys receive.


In a familiar coda to statewide testing breakdowns, Pearson has agreed to reimburse the state of Minnesota for costs associated with disruptions on assessments given earlier this year.
The state's department of education says Pearson, a huge provider of education products and services, will pay the agency $1 million in fees and provide up to nearly $4.7 million in educational support.
Minnesota officials said that statewide assessments in the spring were riddled with a series of problems, most notably several days' worth of technical disruptions that stemmed from server delays.
Those disruptions were partly attributable to "malicious, third-party" distributed denial-of-service attacks that were meant to overwhelm and thwart Pearson's tests, state officials said in a statement Wednesday.
State Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius called the testing foul-ups "simply unacceptable," but said the state was pleased with the agreement.
"Pearson has been working with us in good faith to arrive at this significant settlement that provides us with assurances, and recognizes the magnitude of the impacts that the failures had on the state," she said.
As part of the deal, Pearson agreed to several steps, including providing the state with access to a pair of company products at no cost for the duration of the testing contract. Those products are Pearson Perspective, an online tool that provides supplemental resources to teachers and students, in support of standards; and Write to Learn, an online literacy tool.
The state's current contract, after recent adjustments, is valued at about $39 milllion, Josh Collins, a spokesman for the state department of education, said in an interview.
Pearson also said it will move statewide testing in Minnesota next year to a newer, cloud-based testing platform that the company says has stronger security. One of the platform's features is the ability to withstand distributed denial-of-service interruptions, Minnesota officials said in their statement.
In addition, Pearson will cover some of the costs, and provide support for a test that is not connected with the company—the ACT. Minnesota has taken steps to increase high schoolers' participation in the college-admissions test in recent years, but those plans have been complicated by budget restrictions. The new agreement with Pearson will help ensure that as many students as possible can take it, Collins said.
Numerous states have been frustrated by delays and mishaps in their attempts to administer online tests in recent years, fueling public and policymaker mistrust of testing.
Pearson, McGraw-Hill Education (which recently decided to get out of the state testing business) the American Institutes for Research, Measured Progress, and other vendors have taken the blame.
Those problems have touched some of the most populous states in the country, like Florida, where the American Institutes for Research took heat for problems earlier this year; and rural ones, like North Dakota, as we've reported.

"Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." Henry David Thoreau.
His own addiction started many years ago on the shores of Lake Canobolas in Orange, New South Wales, where aged not much over 10 he caught his first fish on a fly with his father. Trounson has come a long way from then, but his love of the sport is as strong as ever.
But his work keeps him very busy, and it is difficult to find the time to go fly fishing. Stem cell research is a hot topic and its findings crucial to so many enterprises, not just medical applications.
Steve Williamson is a fishing guide, and runs Trout Fishing Adventures out of Jindabyne in the Snowy Mountains of NSW. He sees his fair share of what he calls "high-pressure corporate types" escaping up to the mountains, and says that the one constant he notes about the sport is its engrossing nature.
The unique difference in fishing with a fly is that the angler does not use a hook baited with a worm or other tempting morsels, but casts a hook that has bits of feather, fur and yarn tied to it, made to represent the natural food the trout will be hunting for.
The artifical fly can vary greatly depending on location, the time of year and even local weather conditions, and can range, depending on the season, from representing flying insects that may fly near to or land on the water surface, to their larvae stage when they live under the surface — represented respectively by dry flys and wet flys.
Most fly anglers will agree that it is not just about catching a fish. Fly fishing, apart from being mentally relaxing and conducted usually in pleasant surroundings, appeals to the environmentally conscious as well, as the method is less harmful to the fish, and many anglers return their catch.
Ric Innes of the Compleat Angler Group is reluctant to make too sweeping a generalisation, but contends that in his experience the average fly fisherman will try not to disturb the natural environment of a river or lake, and leaves little telltale evidence — no hooks or pieces of line lying about, no empty stubbies nor cigarette butts. "It's the pursuit, not the catch, that is important," Innes says.
The prominent American fly fishing writer Robert Traver, when asked why he loves to fish, said it was "not because I regard fishing as being terribly important but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant — and not nearly so much fun".
And it is the appeal of getting away to fish, "the other important thing that I do" as Alan Trounson puts it, that keeps drawing him back to mountain streams or lakes, not so much to rekindle but to relive the joy of casting a fly to a wild trout.
When an opportunity presents itself to wet a fly, Trounson is more likely these days to head for somewhere closer to home, and has joined a club that allows him access to a series of pristine lakes near Ballarat, Victoria, no more than an hour from his home.
Fly fishing clubs offer an easy way for those interested to get started, and Innes says there is a strong fly fishing club scene, with like-minded members keen to share experiences and knowledge.
"They run events, casting competitions, fly tying lessons. You can learn a lot from clubs. But you'll always find a lot of people who are into the peripheral items," Innes says. "Some collect reels, some are only interested in tying flys. I know people who know the latin name of every insect, and their life cycles." But it is important to remember, he says, to not be put off by the details.
Fly fishing need never be seen as a daunting or expensive sport, Innes says, and his point is backed up by Steve Williamson's experience. "I was 20 and keen on fishing, and I walked into a tackle shop in Sydney one day and said I was wanted to learn to fly fish," Williamson says. He was shown a rod, reel and fly line and told it all came to $1500. "So I walked out," he says.
"Many moons later I tried another shop and the guy said 'here's an outfit, not the best but it'll get you started; $100'. And even today, there are some excellent fly fishing outfits around for about $200, which is all you need to get started." Williamson says you can even hire an outfit and get a two hour lesson to see if you like fly fishing.
You will need a mid-range fly rod, 5-6 weight, weight-forward fly line, leader and backing, and a better-than-bargain-bin reel.
Flys, sizes 14 to 12: Bead-head nymphs, streamer flys, Elk hair caddis, Royal Humpy, Royal Wulf.
Fly fishing clubs offer free casting and fly tying sessions; ask at any good fly fishing shop. If you think a guide is the way, see fishingguides.org.au.

Ultimately, films are about escapism," Into Film Ambassador and Hollywood actor, Naomie Harris muses.
The Into Film Festival is returning for its sixth phenomenally successful year from 7-23 November, with a dazzling array of free films and events in Oxfordshire's many cinemas.
From Didcot and Witney's Cineworld to Vue in Oxford and Bicester, and the city's independent cinemas The Ultimate Picture Palace and The Phoenix, there is something to engage every child and teenager.
"Film's unique ability to tap into our own lives through the narrative of another is really quite magical," says Naomi, pictured. "And to be able to experience that by watching film together with friends or peers as part of the Into Film Festival is a great opportunity for young people, and I hope that educators take advantage of that," the British actress adds.
Organised by education charity Into Film, which engages with over half of UK schools, the festival is free to all 5-19-year-old students and supports education through an eclectic programme of films and events for schools, engaging in topical themes and debates.
The Oxford programme offers a hugely exciting and diverse range of free special events and screenings this year.
For example, on November 8 at The Phoenix Picturehouse, acclaimed artist and director Ai Weiwei's Human Flow will be screening.
The documentary is centred around the global refugee crisis of the 21st century and explores some of the most essential topics of our age – particularly for young people – including immigration, human rights, modern warfare, poverty, and child safety.
This is followed by a workshop with Oxfam where, amongst many other unique activities, young people will participate in the charity's 'Home Is...' action and write a message of solidarity for refugees.
Just as excitingly, there will be a showing of Academy-Award-nominated animation, The Breadwinner on November 15 at Vue Oxford with an introduction by Female Lead; a non-profit organisation dedicated to making women's stories more visible.
It is set in Afghanistan and follows a young girl who disguises herself as a boy to provide for her family after her father is unjustly arrested.
Above all else, the film is a lesson for young people in empathy and understanding towards the hardships faced by people of their own age around the world.
The Oxford programme additionally offers an extensive programme of current screenings for all ages - many of which are tailored specifically for people with Autism - including Suffragette, Fantastic Mr Fox, Peter Rabbit, Mary and the Witch's Flower, Zoo, Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween and The Darkest Minds.
"Into Film is a really brilliant initiative because anything that facilitates the arts in our current climate, particularly with regards to younger people, is really vital as we are seeing increasing cuts and less funding in schools," actress Gwendoline Christie agrees.
And with big names behind Into Film from Kenneth Branagh to Michael Sheen, Will Poulter and Rosamund Pike, the festival is going from strength to strength, determined to introduce young minds to the wonders of film in its many guises.
The Festival has been programmed by Into Film's curation team into six contemporary themes to properly engage with the young audience its aimed at, namely: Mental Wellbeing: Moving Minds; Year of the Woman: Empowered Voices; Visions of Europe; Saving the World: Eco Warriors, Superheroes and Revolutionaries; Anim18 Connections: An Animated World; Comedy Genius: Slapstick to Subversive.
"We are incredibly proud of the Into Film Festival, Paul Reeve, CEO of, Into Film says: "With the fantastic support of the UK film industry, this event reached 487,000 children, young people and their educators last year.
"With nearly 3000 screenings across 550 venues featuring over 150 films nationally this year we look forward to welcoming schools, teachers and pupils, enabling them to experience the magic of cinema.

Pushing back against reports of concern over the Employee Free Choice Act's passage, union officials insisted on Monday and Tuesday that they have enough votes to get the legislative priority through Congress and to the president's desk.
A spokesperson for the AFL-CIO told the Huffington Post that the union's legislative team and whip counters are "100 percent confident" that EFCA will pass. Without giving away who the Republican targets would be -- Democrats will need at least one GOP Senator to defect for a cloture vote ending debate -- the official offered the following optimistic outlook.
"We are not worried at all. The Secretary of Labor and [Vice President] Biden both are coming to our Executive Council meeting and demonstrating their commitment to working Americans and re-building an economy that works for everyone. [Labor Secretary Hilda] Solis spoke at length last night about how important the Employee Free Choice Act was to helping America's workers and rebuilding the middle class. She also made sure to remind everyone that her and Obama were co-sponsors of the Employee Free Choice Act. Right now our analysis is simple. The House will pass it, the Senate will pass it, Obama will sign it, and America's working people will benefit."
The spokesperson's remarks come a day after the Huffington Post reported on concern over the possibility of moderate Democrats defecting on EFCA. Moreover, they come as elected and non-elected Republicans have begun to publicly advertise the resources and energy they will bear on this legislative fight. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich declared during his speech at CPAC that conservatives "will never forgive somebody" who votes for cloture or the passage of EFCA. Meanwhile, business groups are reportedly getting set to ramp up their lobbying efforts and target potential Democratic defectors.
That said, Democratic leadership in the Senate has not backed away from its position that a vote on the Employee Free Choice Act -- which would allow unions to more easily organize -- will be held sometime in the late spring or summer. The party should, by that time, have 59 caucusing members, provided that Al Franken is seated in Minnesota. Thus, in order for the bill to pass cloture, one Republican would have to cross the aisle. The most likely candidate is Pennsylvania's Arlen Specter.
How hard the Obama administration pushes for EFCA's passage could go a long way in determining the outcome of the vote. To this point, the president has given some encouraging signals to the labor community. But he has not been definitive about a preferred time frame for the bill -- choosing instead to focus his time and efforts on more pressing and complex economic matters. That may change with Labor Secretary Hilda Solis installed at her post. The California Democrat made her first public appearance on Monday in Miami before a gathering of union officials and offered an early and firm endorsement of the legislation.
"If you take care of an employee, that employee will produce. Productivity by our workforce, especially union members, has increased," she said. "But we don't see the same value in terms of their wages going up. So there has to be some morality placed there."

I just read an article in Engineered Systems magazine that reminded me of one of my own blog postings from a few months ago. The difference is that the author in the ES magazine article went all mathematical on us and showed the formulas for calculating HVAC system reliability given the reliability of the individual components in the system. Although it was a long time ago I remember going through the mathematical exercise in one of my engineering courses back at the University of Texas...so we have all known about this procedure for a very long time.
So, the "new" system concept under this scenario would actually have a reliability of only 81.7%...not quite so good I think you would agree.
The information from this example is actually directly from the competitor's product literature...and I left out some components for simplicity sake. The reliability of the components at .98 was an estimate and you can plug in whatever numbers you think are accurate. The important thing is to recognize that the more complex the system is the lower the reliability will be.
In a previous blog posting I quoted Albert Einstein who said ..."make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.". I still think Albert was a pretty smart guy and when I look at some of the design solutions being proposed today for data centers, pharmaceutical warehouses, or cooling in general I just have to wonder why we sometimes design such complex solutions.


The classic mindset that new forex traders get into markets for, is to make money. If we're all honest, that's why everyone is here and there isn't a problem with that mindset per se. The problem occurs when making profits are the first thing that a new trader thinks about. Instead, you the first thing that you should be thinking about is how to limit forex trading losses.
Getting your mindset right in this manner, is the most important thing a new forex trader must do to be consistently profitable. Limiting your forex trading losses should always come before setting profit targets.
While you're never going to avoid forex trading losses, you can greatly limit them by considering the following points.
The first way to limit forex trading losses is the obvious namesake: Setting a stop loss order accordingly.
If you're forex trading without a stop loss then you're just asking for trouble. Before you have even entered your trade, it is advisable to have a plan in place for your stop loss and a hard stop loss level applied to your order in MT4.
While more advanced forex traders might simply use a mental stop, having the discipline, speed and patience to be able to close your order where your forex trading plan says you should takes a high level of skill.
Battling your human emotions to lock in a loss is one of the hardest things to overcome as a forex trader and if you can't do it, then plan your trade with a stop loss level and let your MT4 platform stop you out as planned.
Another aspect of how to limit forex trading losses is to make sure that you're on top of your money management at all times.
What percentage of your overall capital are you going to risk in order to target how much?
What is your win rate expectancy?
By answering these two questions, you can calculate your money management strategy within your overall forex trading plan and take a huge stride toward limiting your forex trading losses.
The final point to consider when trying to limit forex trading losses, is how you go about managing your trade.
Do you simply place your trade, set your stop loss/take profit levels and then walk away from your screen? Or do you instead stay glued to a 1 minute chart and ride every bullish or bearish single pip tick that the market prints?
There isn't a right or wrong way to go about managing your forex trade and whether sitting at a screen helps or hinders your decision making process depends solely on your individual personality.
The important thing in deciding how you manage your forex trading positions are whether you are able to follow your original trading plan and whether you have the discipline to stick to it if things aren't going your way.
Remember that you had a plan for the sole reason of limiting your forex trading losses, so follow it!
As we said above, just remember that you're never going to completely avoid forex trading losses, but you can limit them. Plan your trade, follow your rules, trade with an ECN forex broker and you'll be on the path towards consistently profitable forex trading in no time.

Miner: I can't control major budget items
By Jimmy Vielkind, Capitol bureau on August 20, 2013 at 2:29 PM
Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner used a hearing of the state Senate's Local Government Committee to again highlight the fiscal stress she faces in the state's fourth-largest city and plead for some state action.
Specifically, Miner said she has no effective control over a major portion of her city budget: the wages and benefits paid to police officers and firefighters. Their collective bargaining is subject to binding arbitration, where if an impasse is reached both sides appear before a three-person panel — made up of one person appointed by the city and the union, and one who is agreed upon by both — that makes a binding decision.
Mayors often complain that these panels make awards that are unaffordable, but Miner put it in starker terms.
"Police and fire are subject to binding interest arbitration, which means we have effectively no control over those salaries," Miner said. "So a significant portion of our city expenses we don't have any control over. In addition, I would loop in health care into that, because the health care expenses that are associated with police and fire are also associated with binding interest arbitration."
That's $105.1 million — a bit less than half of the city's $241 million general fund budget for this fiscal year — as you can see from the slides in Miner's presentation, below.
Also during the hearing, a top aide to Comptroller Tom DiNapoli said the state must look at increasing the money it sends cities through the AIM program — something Gov. Andrew Cuomo has said he is loath to do. DiNapoli issued a report in January that highlighted how AIM funding has lagged behind inflation.
"We believe that [additional] aid to localities is something the state must consider," said Nathaalie Carey, assistant comptroller in the division of local government.

Are you prone to a problem with 'Stool formed, but porous & airy'?
Aerated stools may imply fermentation of food in the gut. Fermentation releases carbon dioxide, which creates bubbles and ultimately gas. Fermentation is a sign of sourness. Fermented foods like sauerkraut are intensely sour, and a similar process happens in your body when digestion is poor.
When stool turns sour and ferments due to poor diet or weak digestion, nutrients you eat in your daily meals become meals for bacteria. In other words, bacteria gets fed well and you don't. The result is malabsorption syndrome. You may have intense hunger that never feels completely satisfied, no matter what you eat.
Fermented stools are toxic to your system - some of the food particles that are fermented or not completely digested are absorbed into the blood. This irritates your internal organs, especially the liver and kidneys. Toxins cause inflammation which irritate the delicate tissue mucus membranes.
20 minutes before meals, increase your digestive capacity by having a Ginger Appetizer.
Bitter and Astringent tastes destroy bacteria, so make sure each meal includes these tastes.
Augment your diet with these specially chosen ingredients below which may be useful for 'Stool formed, but porous & airy'. Individual results vary depending the cause of your imbalance and by constitution.

Q: Auto snooze local notifications in iOS I am developing an application in which I want to snooze the received notification automatically for 10 mins, if user didn't take any action (neither dismiss notification, nor opened the app) on the previously displayed notification. This is required in iOS

A: You can't do that. Have you ever seen an app behave that way? No, because it's impossible (and incoherent).
Think of it this way. If the user does nothing, your app gets no signal that the notification fired. So it cannot "do" anything in response. You cannot respond to something that didn't happen.
Here's another way to look at it. When the notification fires, your app might not even be running. If the user does nothing, your app still won't be running. So how can it "do" anything?

In a comment, you referenced an app that has an "autosnooze" feature. But that app likely isn't snoozing in response to the fact that the user didn't do anything. It is scheduling a repeating notification (or multiple notifications) in advance, so the repetitions are already present when the user does nothing. When the user does respond, the app deletes the extra scheduled notifications. So you see, as I said before, the app responds to something that the user did do, not to something the user didn't do (though I can see why this behavior might give the illusion that it does what you asked to do).

World War II Campaigns: Italy--The Liberation of Rome (June 4-5, 1944)
Figure 1.--The Germans as their defenses south of Rome crumbled, declared Rome and open city and rapidly retreated. Joyous celebrations comenced when it became clear that the Germans were gone. Despite the fact that Fascist Italy had been one of the key Axis powers, the Ak=llies, especially the Americans, were treated as liberators when they entered Rome. This was in part because of the German occupation. It was also because of the notable affection of the Italian people toward the Americans. Many Italians had either lived in America or had American relatives. The American combat units paused only briefly before continuing north to resume the campaign against the Germans. Source: U.S. Army photograph.
The situation in Rome was very complicated as the Allies approached. There were Fascists, but they had been largely descredited by thecWar and the German occupation. The Vatican was split into two wings. Church people were hiding Jews all over Italy. One wing in the Vatican favored this. Another wanted to expel the Jews, afraid of the possible NAZI reaction. Some in the Vatican feared the Communists would seize control of Rome and invade the Vatican. Pope Pius XII dithered, unsure of what approach to take. German authorities in Rome were confused. Some had fallen in love with the city. Some had even resisted NAZI efforts to roundup and deport the city's Jews, primarily because they did not want to embarass the Pope. Some of the Germans who had been in Rome for some time did not fully comprehend the NAZI commitment to killing Jews. Finally Hitler himself had to send the orders. The Americans and British both wanted to enter the city first. American commander Mark Clark was intent on achieving this honor. He wanted to be the second general in history to conquer Rome from the south. (The first was the Byzantine General Byzarius.) Clark was less interested in cutting off the retreating Germans. The British unable to enter Rome first made an unsuccessful effort to cut off the fleeing Germans. Rome was finally liberated by the Americans (June 4). The scenes in Rome were that of a liberated nation. Italy had been one of the Axis countries but since the Italian capitulation (September 1943) had been occupied by the Germans and experienced their share of natural brutality. The Italians had, howver, a very high regard fir Americans because of the extensive Italian emmigration during the late-19th and early 20th century. The Romans celebrated with the entrance of the Americans. The Allied failed to trap sizeable German units and as a result would face another costly winter campaign. The world's focus 2-days latter turned on July 6 to the coast of France and the D-Day invasion.
Italy was one of the three major Axis countries. Mussolini had made Italy Fascist, but unlike the NAZIs and the Japanese militarists, he was unable to drum up much animosity toward the Allies or enthusiam for the War. While the Italian people had no strong feelings one way or another toward the British, there was a broad feeling of warmth and friendship toward the Americans. Large numbers of Italians had worked in America and come back with their savings. Even more Italians had family that had emograted and stayed in America. No amountof Fascist war propaganda was able to change this wide-spread feeling. And Italians both before and during the War did not warm to Hitler and the NAZIs. And more than 2 years of War did not change Italian attitudes toward the Germans. Than came the Italian surrender and German occupation of Italy (September 1943). The Italians experienced first hand the brutality of the Germans and what Axis occupation had meant throughout Europe. The Germans interned the Italian Army and transported them to the Reich. In the process the Whermavht shot thousands of Italian soldiers. The Gestapo arrested Italians known to be sympsthetic tothe Allies and began the roundup of Jews. Thus in a short time a generalized disapproval of the Germans turned into active loathing on the part of most Italians. Thus the Allied move on Rome is generally referred to as the 'liberation' of Rome. This is in sdharp contrast to the Soviet and American seizues of Berlin. The people of Rome jubilantly received the advaning Allied soldiers, especially the Americans, as if Italy had never been an Axis power.
Anzio (January 1944)
As the Allied drive north bogged down at the Gustav Line, the logic of an anphibious flanking invasion surfaced. Fifth rmy Commander Mark Clark ordered a plan be prepard for a single division operation centered on Anzio (November 1943). Anzio was selected as the best site. It was only 30 miles south of Rome, but still within range of Naples-based Allied aircraft allowing vital air support. British commanders were enthusiastic about the plan, but the Americans less so, believing that the planned invasion force were insufficient for the task of overwhelming the Germans fotce in the area. The Anzio plan was temporarily shelved as fighting continued incomclusively on the Gustav Line. General Eisenhower was given command of the Overlord planning (January 1944). The command of Allied forces in the Mediterranean went to to General Sir Henry M. Wilson. The Anzio invasion was soon back on the table. At the same time Prime Minister Winston Churchill personally to hold shipping and landing craft in the Mediterranean for one more invasion before the final Overlord buildup. The Anzio invasion plan became Operation Shingle. An Anglo-American ground, naval and air force units assembled in Naples, under the command of Maj. Gen. John P. Lucas, commander of the U.S. Fifth Army's VI Corps. The Allie launched heavvy attavks on the Gustav Line (January 12). The attacks focused on Cassino. This successfully focused the Germans on the Casino area. The invasion armada managed to depart Naples without alerting the Germans (January 21). The Americans landed at Anzio behind the Gustav line (January 22, 1944. The initial landing was a success and surprised the Germans. The Americans began moving off the beach and tentatively pushing toward Rome. Many historians fault the American commander, Maj. Gen. John P. Lucas, for not acting decisively by attacking the Germans more ggressively. Lucas decided to build up and consolidate his units before moving inland in force. This enabled the the Germans in hold on and reinforce the vital high-ground. Kesselring assembledcavailable reinforcements. [Atkinson] A minority opinion maintains that Lucas was wise in building up beach defensives. The Germans launched a whitering attack with artillery and Panzers. American and British units manage to repulse repeated German attacks. It looked for a time that after a month of heavy fighing the Germans might destroy the American beachead (February 17). The American defense supported by invaluable naval artillery support managed to hold off the Germans. The German counterattacks continued for two more weeks, but were was finally haulted (March 2). The Anzio landings failed to envelop the Gustav Line, but it did force the Germans to further stretch their lines and commit their last reaining reserves. This in the end weakened the Gustav Line allowing the Allies to finally break through. The Allies executed numerous anphibious landings during World War II. None failed, but several came very close to failing, including the two main Itakian landings (Salerno and Anzio). The allies learned from their experiences, the Germans failed to adapt their strategic and tactical doctrine. The Allies learned that it was vital to land in force. The Germans,at keast von Rundstedt, failed to learn that the first few days were vital. Once theAllies had consolidated a bridgehead, given their aircand sea resources, it would be virtually impossible to dislodge them.
Cracking the Gustav Line (May 11-18)
The Allies launched their long-awaited spring offensive (May 11). A massive artillery barrage by 1,660 artillery pieces opened up on the Germans from Cassino to the sea. Alexander than threw 25 Allied divisions atthe Germans. The British 13 Corps successfully crossed the Rapido River at two points, finally establishing a bridgehead. The Polish Corps assault on Monte Cassino still heavily defended by the Germans failed. The Poles were some of the most fierce fighters in Alexander's army. More than than 50 percent of the Poles were casualties. To the west in the American II Corps area the U.S. 88th Infantry Division made some progress against stiff German resistance. The 4th Moroccan Mountain Division of the French Expeditionary Force (FEC) were able to take Monte Majo (May 13). This proved to be the turning point. This gave the Allies high ground overlooking the Liri valley. It exposed the left flank of the XIV Panzer Corps and finally the German position at Cassino. The Americans attacked at this weak point in the Gusrav Line. The 85th and 88th Divisions were committed. The result was a series of savage engagements and the German fill back, further wudeningvthe gap in the German defenses. The German lost an estimated 40 percent of their combat strength in the first 3 days of the llied offensive and it was now obvious they no longer had the forces to hold the Gustav Line. Other Allied units moved forward addingvto the presure. The Allies were now in a position to encircle Casino. The Germns began to withdraw north, but staging rearguard operations to slow the Allies. The American II Corps and the FEC broke through the German defenses. The Canadians crossed the Rapido in force. The British 78th Division cut Highway 6. The Polish Corps, supported by the 78th Division, launched another attack on Monte Cassino (May 17). A day of fierce cimbat ensued wuth heavy losses on both sudes. The German position at Casino could no longer be maintained. That night the surviving Germans withdrew. The Poles in the morning reached the summit unopposed (May 18). With the Allies in possesion of Casino and consolidating their positin of Anzio, the Gustav KLine was fataly compromosed. The overstreached Germans at long last had to abandon Rome and retreat north.
Hitler/Ceasar Lines
The Allies wanted to closely pursue the retreating Germans to prevent them from establishing new defensive positions. The Germand hoped to restablish what they rerred to as the Hitler Line. The British 8th Army move up the Liri Valley (May 18-19) encountered stiff German resistance from fortified positions. The result was another series of frontal assaults and heavy casualties. The German were less successful to the wEst in the American Fifth Army sector. The Germans were withdrawing from the coast to keep from being cut off. General Clark thus decided to attack in force to effectva link up with the Anzio bridgehead. Alexander had ordered him to support the 8th Army's left flank. Instead he ordered the Fifth Army to attack north toward Fondi and Terracina where they could link up with the Anzio bridgehead and begin the drive on Rome. He ordered the FEC to continue its attack on the Fifth Army's right. This appears to have diverted the German's attention from II Corps. Clark ordered the 85th and 88th Divisions to take Terracina. The Allies made progress all along the front (May 23-25). The FEC and II Corps penetrated the still poorly prepared Hitler Line in several spots. The Eighth Army attempting to move up the Liri valley had less success. Now it was time for the Anzio breakout. Maj. Gen. Lucian K. Truscott, Jr., commanding the 90,000 man VI Corps attacked toward Cisterna (May 23). His objective was Highway 6 at Valmontone. The result was 3 days of hard fighting. VI Corps (3rd and 45th Infantry Divisions, the 1st Armored Division, and the 1st Special Service Force) drove out of the Anzio beachhead. THis threatened to separate the German Tenth and Fourteenth Armies. Finally advance units of the 85th Division met a patrol of VI Corps engineers moving south from Anzio effecting a link up with the Anzio beachhead. The Germans hastily withdrew to the Caesar Line, an incomplete line of srong ponts between Anzio and Rome to a point two miles south of Valmontone. The Germans faced several problem. The terraine south of Rome was not as favorable as that utilized for the Gustaf line and their forces had been depleted. The attacking Allied forced also made it difficult to establish a coherent defensuve line.
Command Division
Alexander was the overall commander in Italy. He had envisioned the planned VI Corps breakout to be part of an the second thrust aimed at curring off German forces south of Rome. Clark, nominally Alexander's subordinte, had never accepted Alexander's vision, especially the primacy of cutting off German forces. Clark was especially interested in the liberation of Rome. So much so that he was sometimes called Marcus Aurelius Clarkus. Clark thought that the German were too strong to cut off at Valmontone as Alexander planned. He also feared that the Ceasar Line would prove too strong for VI Corps. Inteligence reports suggested that the Germans were pulling back from the area north of Anzio. This opened the road to Rome and Clark thus ordered VI Corps to begin the drive on the capital. He rejected Truscott's protests abd Alexabder's instructions. He ordered the 3rd Division and 1st Special Service Force to continue toward Valmontone, but he directed the bulk of his forces, including the 1st Armored and the 34th, 36th, and 45th Infantry Divisions to join the northern advance led by the 85th and 88th Divisions. Some historians have shrply criticized Clark's leadership, arguing that he was grand standing so he woild have the glory of liberating Rome. American commander Mark Clark was intent on achieving this honor. He wanted to be the second general in history to conquer Rome from the south. (The first was the Byzantine General Byzarius.) Historians argue that shifting the direction of the American offensive allowed the bulk of the German firces to evade encirclement at Valmontoneand and escape north where they suceeded in establishing anither strong defensive line.
Italian Fascists
There were Fascists, but they had been largely descredited by the War and the German occupation. Mussolini had been rescued by SS commandos (September 1944). Even so, he did not resume power in Rome. He established, under close German supervision, a Fascist puppet regime in northern Italy.
The Vatican was split into two wings. Church people were hiding Jews all over Italy. One wing in the Vatican favored this. Another wanted to expel the Jews, afraid of the possible NAZI reaction. Some in the Vatican feared the Communists would seize control of Rome and invade the Vatican. Pope Pius XII dithered, unsure of what approach to take.
German Authorities
German authorities in Rome were confused. Some had fallen in love with the city. Some had even resisted NAZI efforts to roundup and deport the city's Jews, primarily because they did not want to embarass the Pope. Some of the Germans who had been in Rome for some time did not fully comprehend the NAZI commitment to killing Jews. Finally Hitler himself had to send the orders.
Open City (June 4)
Rome was finally liberated by the Americans. The retreating Germans declared Rome an open city. The Allies were nor entirely sure how the Romans would react. The Allies dropped propaganda leaflets on Rome early in the morning. The commander of the Allied 15th Army Group, General Sir Harold R. L. G. Alexander urged the people of Rome in the leaflets "to stand shoulder-to-shoulder to protect the city from destruction and to defeat our common enemies." The leaflets went on to say, "... this is not the time for demonstrations. Obey these directions and go on with your regular work. Rome is yours! Your job is to save the city, ours is to destroy the enemy." The first units to reach Rome were elements of the U.S. 3d, 85th, and 88th Infantry Divisions and the 1st Special Service Force. Tgey encountered only scattered German resistance. The people of Rome for the most part remained indoors as instructed in the leaflets, fearing that the Germans might still be present and that fighting might ensue.
Celebration (June 5)
The next day was anything but quit. Large numbers of ecstatic Italians poured out into the streets to welcome the Americans. By this time the the principal elements of the Fifth Army were moving moved north through the city in pursuit of the Germans. The scenes in Rome were that of a liberated nation. Italy had been one of the Axis countries but since the Italian capitulation (September 1943) had been occupied by the Germans and experienced their share of natural brutality. The Italians had, howver, a very high regard for Americans because of the extensive Italian emmigration during the late-19th and early 20th century. Many Italians remained in America, but unlike other immigrant groups, large numbers of Italians after earming a little momey, eturned to Italy and bought small farms or shops. Most had vert fond memories of their time in America. Many other Italians had relatives in America. The Romans celebrated with the entrance of the Americans. Few Itlalians had wanted war and certinly not with the Americans. The people of Rome crowded into the streets to welcome the Americans. A huge city-wide celebration began. Shops were closed and crowds took to the streets, cheering, waving, tossing flowers, and climbing on American vehicles. Pope Pius appeared on the balcony of St Peter's and spoke to the thousands of Italians who had gathered in St. Peter's Square. He said: "In recent days we trembled for the fate of the city. Today we rejoiced because, thanks to the joint goodwill of both sides, Rome has been saved from the horrors of war." President Roosevelt in an American radio brodcast welcomed the fall of Rome, saying, "One up, two to go." He cautioned the American people, howeever, that Germany had not yet suffered enough losses to cause her to collapse. The Fifth Army combat units did not linger long in Rome itself.
German Retreat
The German Tenth and Fourteenth Armies for the most part retreated in good order. The Allied failed to trap sizeable German units and as a result would face another costly winter campaign. The German troops continued to hold northern Italy. They resisted there and resisted the Allies and Italian resistance forces tenaciously until they surrendered (May 2, 1945).
D-Day (June 6)
The world's focus quickly turned on July 6 to the coast of France and announcement that the Allies were landing on the coast of France--the long awaited cross-Channel invasion. The hard-won accomplishments of the Allied forces in Italy, finally liberating Rome quickly disappeared from the headlines. The Normandy D-Day landings (Operation Overlord) overshdowed the Italian campaign. The original plan for Overlord was a simultaneous invasion of southern France (Operation Anvil/Dragoon). The German success in holding the Gutav Line centered on Casino diveted men and supplies from the prepartions for Operation Anvil. The result was the landings were delayed. The landings were finally made (August 15).
Drive North
The impact on the Italian campaign was not just a matter of press headlines. The liberation of France and de=rive on Germany became the first Allied priority. This appears to have been a sound strategic decesion. The narrow Italian peninsula was an advantage fir a defending forceas as it resrictedthe movement of alarge army, nuteven more importantly the relatively upobstructed northern European plain was a much easier route to the Reich than the southern route from Italy which required crossing the Alps. This meant that men and material to support the Italian campaign and the drive north became even more difficult to obtain. Even worse from the point of view of the Italian effort, units were even withdrawn frim Italy for redeployment in southern France. The FEC, the VI Corps headquarters, the U.S. 3d, 36th, and 45th Infantry Divisions were all assigned to the new Seventh Army preparing for Anvil. This meant that the Eighth and Fifth Armies would have only 14 divisions attack the 9 divisions of the German Fourteenth Army in the west and the 8 divisions of the German Tenth Army in the east.
After the liberation of Rome, Allied air forces could move into Italiam basses around Rome. From these more northely bases they could reach targets in the Reich as well an targets in eastern Europe, such as the synthetic fuel and rubber plants at Auschwitz-Monowitz in occupied Poland (Silesia).

And then, a flash of insight: when I am aware of the ball, I am only ever aware of it in relationship to myself. Moreover, this is true of everything I observe: when I am aware of anything outside myself, I am only ever aware of it in relationship to myself. In other words, I perceive only from the perspective of my own consciousness, and therefore to be aware of anything is simultaneously and automatically to be aware of my self.
Put another way: I can't conceive of what it would be like to be aware of something outside myself completely divorced from its relationship to me. If I observe that the coffee table in front of me is there, I am necessarily aware that I am here, even if I don't have that literal thought in the moment. "But what if I just look at a photograph of a painting that hangs in the Louvre?" I might argue with myself. "I'm now aware of that far-away painting even though I can't see myself in relationship to it, and I'm conscious of the painter even though he died long ago and I never met him." Even here, conceiving of the painting as "far away" is only possible because of my awareness of myself as "right here." And understanding the painter as an inhabitant of the past amounts to a recognition of myself as existent in the present moment. Awareness of anything else as removed from me in either space or time not only leads to, but actually IS awareness of myself as present.
In my meditative state, this insight led quickly to a collapse of my perceived distinction between the world and myself. My perception of anything else is just that: a perception, a function of my consciousness, and therefore also an expression of my consciousness. If I go unconscious, I will no longer be aware of the world around me, and therefore will also no longer be aware of myself. Awareness of myself, I think, actually arises from awareness of things outside myself.
This understanding leads to a transformation of consciousness: it transforms the experience of daily life from an automatic interaction with the other to a perpetual meditation: every interaction with the world becomes a direct experience of my own consciousness. By devoting my attention to the world, I gain directly proportional access to self-awareness.
As I move into my day, I will take this insight with me. I will be kinder, gentler, and more attentive to the world and the people around me, supported by a new recognition that there's not so much of a distinction between us as I once thought.

Teen Charged With Robbing Bank in Chicago Was on Probation for Previous Bank Robbery: Prosecutors
A young teen charged with robbing a bank in Chicago this week allegedly robbed his first bank two years ago, at the age of 14, prosecutors said Thursday.
In his first bank robbery, prosecutors said the boy was armed with rifle, the Chicago Tribune reports. His second attempt came two years later, when he walked into a TCF bank on Chicago's Southwest Side reportedly armed with a chrome revolver.
Police said the teen suspect walked into the TCF Bank branch at 6141 S. Archer just after 4 p.m. Tuesday, displayed a hand gun and demanded money.
According to officials, he fled with $1,600 but only had $500 when he police found him at his home late Tuesday.
The teen, whose identity has not been released because he is a juvenile, was charged with armed robbery, aggravated robbery and robbery.
The Tribune reports he was still on probation for his first robbery at the time, but had cut off his electronic monitoring bracelet before the second attempt.
He was ordered held in custody and is scheduled to appear in juvenile court again on April 29, prosecutors said.
