I've gotten access to Dabble and will try it out later.
Search, for all its coverage, respresents a small fraction of the percentage of time that people spend online. Well over 90% of people's time is spent with content (news being the number one category).

Once there were 3,000 temple singers in Tamil Nadu. Now there might be 100.
I will be a temple oduvar until my death," declares Sivagangai boldly. "I have dedicated my life to this work, and I am happy with whatever payment I get. I will not take up any other job, even if I am offered a lot of money."
Brave words. In the twilight of a tradition long overdue, great praise for simply surviving, even the most optimistic would have to concede that the singing of Tamil Nadu's temple bards will never quite reclaim the light of its greatest glory. Yet there is Sivagangai and a few more like him. And after them, there will be a few more. And so it will be for a very long time, for the music of the oduvar is truly divine. As told from the annals of South Indian history, "A heart that does not melt from the songs of the oduvar does not melt at all."
In the Tamil language, the word oduvar comes from the verb odhu, which means to sing respectfully. One who performs odhu is an oduvar. More specifically, according to the ancient tradition of South Indian temple worship, an oduvar is a singer who has been rigorously trainedÑusually from a very young age in a most difficult form of South Indian classical temple music. He is maleÑusually Saivite Tamil and sings only for GodÑusually in temples and ashramsÑand only from the Tirumurai, a twelve-book collection of hymns and writings of South Indian Saivite saints.
"To the one who embodies within Himself the Vedic hymns and Vedic sacrifice, truth and untruth, light and darkness, joy and sorrow, the divided and undivided, the attachment and release, the beginning and ultimate end to Him our songs of praise we sing."
Like a first-rate concert violinist, the oduvar must possess more than a sense of discipline. He must be blessed with extraordinary talent and exemplary dedication. Yet, unlike perhaps even the finest violinist, he must also be pure, humble, religious, austere and devotional. This is as it was 100 years ago. But modern times militate against the success of the oduvar. Today, when rock and stones mean "Mick Jagger" rather than "granite deity," the very fact that Sivagangai would want to do what he is doing at all is just short of a miracle.
The golden age of the oduvars reached its height when India's kings held sway. South India's documented history dates back to the fourth century bce when the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas ruled what is now Tamil Nadu. The domains of these three dynasties changed many times over the centuries, and other dynasties periodically came into power. Through it all, there was a steady patronage of the arts, and this served the expansion of Tamil culture well.
The Tirumurai were written and compiled from approximately 200 bce through the eleventh century. During this time, the saints that composed these poems and songs were becoming legends, and oduvars like the minstrels of Europe, were singing their praises. In the eleventh century, during the reign of two important South Indian kings, Rajaraja Chola and Rajendra Chola Sumatra, the religious life of the Tamil people was at its zenith, and times were never better for the oduvar.
Rajaraja Chola once supported more than 3,000 oduvars. During his reign, these sacred singers were given great respect. After the ceremonial flame of high puja was shown to the temple Deity, it was passed next to the oduvarÑeven before the king, if he were present.
During the 14th century, Muslim invasion weakened the Chola dynasty, then in power. Even after the great Vijayanagar Empire fell in 1564, Tamil culture continued to flourish under Nayak rule. History shows, in fact, that the Tamil way of life enjoyed undisrupted development from prehistory until the British came, almost 500 years ago.
The East India Company of Great Britain was established in Tamil Nadu in 1640 when it negotiated the use of Madraspatnam, later to become Chennai, as a trading post. Petty quarrels among provincial rulers catalyzed the British to gain administrative control over the area. Under their colonial rule, most of South India was integrated into the region called Madras Presidency. When India became independent in 1947, Madras Presidency became Madras State. In 1956 the Madras State was reorganized to form present-day Tamil Nadu along linguistic lines.
The religious Hindus of India generally suffered from British occupation and Indian Independence. The British left them humiliated subordinated to Western values and nonreligious principles. Indian Independence spawned a faltering democratic government laced with corruption. This new democracy harvested profits from temples and left priests nearly penniless. As bad as this was, the priests at least had jobs, for the temples could not function without them. The oduvars, however, were expendable. Only the most dedicated remained at their posts. This is still true today. Sivagangai is now working in the Kundrakudi Murugan Temple, which is government controlled. Although his food and lodging are free, he makes only about $15 a month.
At the Tirumurai Pathasala run by Koviloor Aadheenam, Ratnasabhapathi Desikar, 72, teaches a five-year intensive course to qualify oduvars, but he currently has only seven students. There are four other schools like this in Tamil Nadu. The most successful of them is at Dharmapuram Aadheenam, where teachers have sustained their program for the last 25 years. Today, in all of Tamil Nadu, it is estimated that less than 30 students are studying to become full-time oduvars.
This bleak horizon reveals a glimmer of light. Recently, a Tamil movie entitled Raja Raja Cholan featured a number of oduvars performing on film. Never in recent history have these elite but obscure musicians enjoyed such mainstream promotion. Sri La Sri Nachiappa Gnana Desika Swamigal, the pontiff of Koviloor Aadheenam, is enthusiastic. "We will be releasing an audio cassette/CD on Tirumurai," he says with a gleam in his eye. "Things are slowly getting better. There is more respect for the oduvar." For years, Swami has been spearheading a campaign to revive the tradition.
At the school run by Koviloor Aadheenam, Muthukumar and Ananda Kaleeswaran, both 21, are the only two students who have graduated from the course since its inception in 1995. Muthukumar is a first-generation oduvar, while Kaleeswaran is fifth generation.
"Many have discouraged me, saying that I may be losing out monetarily," says Muthukumar. "But I was firm and determined. Oduvars are respected everywhere."
The students still studying in the program all share a similar enthusiasm. Dingidul, 18, seeks to emulate his grandfather, who is still a highly revered oduvar. Sivanmalai, 16, wants to sing in a temple in his hometown. So do 23-year-old T. Rathinavel Subramaniam and 18-year-old Ganesan. "Even in villages, people are now more God-loving," says Ganesan, who will be a 15th-generation oduvar. "So I am very sure this tradition will stay for a very long time." Soma Sivaprakasam, 20, is the son of an accountant who became an oduvar. He dreams of going abroad to serve as a teacher and a singer.
At the Koviloor Aadheenam, Tirumurai school education is free, just as it is in all the pathasalas (schools) of Tamil Nadu. Food, accommodation, clothes and books are provided at no cost. The Chettiars, a community of wealthy South Indian businessmen, have long been associated with the oduvars and figure in their future as dependable patrons. Organizations like the Music Academy, Seethai Hall, Narada Gana Sabha and Ramalingar Pani Mandram all based in Chennai, Tamil Nadu's classical music vortexÑconstantly promote the Tirumurai and the oduvars.
Then there is Sivagangai, who daily strives to melt even the hearts that do not melt at all. The saints who wrote the songs he sings have long ago passed away. Yet, they live on in their Tirumurai and in the sacred singing of Sivagangai.

MONTREAL, QC--(Marketwired - November 04, 2015) - They are the best headphones in the world: with the successor to the legendary Orpheus, Sennheiser is presenting new high-end headphones that offer an unprecedented audio experience. The electrostatic headphone system combines to perfection the most innovative technology with carefully selected, luxurious materials and the highest-quality craftsmanship. A masterpiece that has its price: the high-end headphones, which will be hand-crafted in Germany from next year onwards, will cost around EUR 50,000.
Building high-end headphones which sound so brilliant that you feel that you are in a concert hall; creating acoustics that surpass anything that has been heard before: this has always been Sennheiser's vision. And in 1990/1991, the audio specialist achieved precisely that: Sennheiser took the audio world by storm with an engineering masterpiece that exceeded all previous ideas about the performance limitations of headphones. The product became an icon of the audio industry and was recognized as the best headphones in the world -- until now. Almost 25 years later, Sennheiser is now opening up a new chapter in audio history with the successor: "With the new HE 1060 / HEV 1060, we once again push the boundaries and show that we can repeatedly set new benchmarks in excellence and with that shape the future of the audio world," said Sennheiser CEO Daniel Sennheiser.
The new HE 1060 / HEV 1060 surpasses every other headphone system in the world by offering the ultimate in reproduction precision, exceptional spatiality and a frequency response that extends far beyond the range of human hearing ability. "It is able to deceive our senses in a completely unique way, creating the perfect illusion of being directly immersed in the sound," explained Daniel Sennheiser. Even the slightest nuances of the music become audible. Alongside star producer Steve Levine, Grammy award-winner Gregory Porter was one of the first to be invited to an exclusive listening trial. "When I record my own music, I always try to convey my emotions. I don't know how exactly, but these headphones really do succeed in getting those emotions across," said the jazz musician, describing his listening experience with the HE 1060 / HEV 1060.
To make this possible, a team of Sennheiser experts spent almost a decade continuously working against the limits of what is technically possible -- and once again created the best headphones in the world. The HE 1060 / HEV 1060 uses an innovative amplifier concept that combines to perfection the advantages of a tube amplifier with those of a transistor amplifier. "I am very proud of this absolutely exceptional product," said Sennheiser CEO Dr. Andreas Sennheiser. "The HE 1060 / HEV 1060 stands for the innovative power of our company and our joint commitment to the pursuit of perfect sound."
The selection of all materials consequently supports the acoustic excellence of this milestone product. Each of the more than 6,000 components was meticulously chosen. To ensure an outstanding acoustic performance, the audio specialist used exclusive components such as gold-vaporized ceramic electrodes and platinum-vaporized diaphragms. The marble that Sennheiser chose for the amplifier housing comes from Carrara in Italy and is the same type of marble that Michelangelo used to create his sculptures. "The properties of the marble optimally protect the amplifier's core and its unique optics and structure turns each HE 1060 / HEV 1060 into an individual work of art," said Maurice Quarré, Director of Select & Audiophile at Sennheiser.
The design of the HE 1060 / HEV 1060 follows the principle of pushing the boundaries of what is possible in order to visualize Sennheiser's ambition of creating perfection in every detail. "Due to its technical superiority, the HE 1060 / HEV 1060 has no need for an exaggerated design. Its beauty lies in its reduction to what is essential," explained Oliver Berger, Head of Global Design Management at Sennheiser.
Audio specialist Sennheiser is one of the world's leading manufacturers of headphones, microphones and wireless transmission systems. Based in Wedemark near Hanover, Germany, Sennheiser operates its own production facilities in Germany, Ireland and the USA and is active in more than 50 countries. With 18 sales subsidiaries and long-established trading partners, the company supplies innovative products and cutting-edge audio solutions that are optimally tailored to its customers' needs. Sennheiser is a family-owned company that was founded in 1945 and which today has 2,700 employees around the world that share a passion for audio technology. In 2014, the Sennheiser Group had sales totalling EUR635 million. www.sennheiser.com.

Bottle Flipping is huge. Why not see who is the best flipper in your youth group.
1. Plastic Bottle. Empty out some plastic water bottles. You can use gatorade bottles as well but gatorade bottles are usually easier to flip.
2. Candy Corn.You can use candy corn or any candy for that matter. It makes it more fun to use candy instead of water.
Empty the bottles completely and let them dry for a few days so that there is no moisture left in them.
Fill each bottle with the same number of candy so it's fair for everyone. We used 25 candy corn in each bottle.
Set up two tables on stage with 2 bottles on each table.
Two contestants per team. The goal is for a team get a total of 10 bottle flips. First team to get a collective 10 successful bottle flips is the winner. Flips do not have to be consecutive.
What an awesome idea. This is truly a great game. I modified it slightly by using skittles instead of candy corn. I divided the candy out by the five colors. I then put the colored skittles in 5 separate bottles, thus creating 5 'teams'. this variation of the game allows for all the kids in the group to be involved. Each member of the team takes turns flipping the bottle until the desired number of successful flips is reached.. For an added variation after the number of successful flips the team has to eat all the skittles to complete the game. We had a great time with this game thanks for sharing.


Early Thursday morning, Senate Republicans kicked off what is expected to be a long, winding process of repealing the Affordable Care Act, the healthcare law better known as Obamacare.
The Senate passed a budget resolution by a vote of 51 to 48 after 1 a.m. ET that is designed to direct the legislature to draft a bill that will repeal the ACA.
Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders were among those who spoke out against the repeal bill to no avail during the vote. Sen. Rand Paul, who has grumbled about the effect a repeal could have on the federal deficit without a replacement plan in place, was the only Republican to cross party lines.
"Congrats to the Senate for taking the first step to #RepealObamacare - now it's onto the House!" President-elect Donald Trump tweeted on Thursday.
Democrats added more than 100 amendments — with mostly symbolic intentions, as they do not have control of the chamber— to protect provisions such as insurers not being able to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions and the ability of children to stay on their parents' insurance until age 26. All of the amendments were voted down.
The vote comes as Republicans and Democrats have made the ACA and its possible repeal one of the central parts of their agendas.
With Trump in line to take the Oval Office in just more than a week, Republicans have been moving forward with a long-planned repeal while a debate has arisen among GOP lawmakers over the timing of the bill's replacement.
Democrats have vowed to fight the repeal of the law at every step and so far have said they will be uncooperative on a replacement.
The resolution next moves to the House of Representatives for a similar vote that is expected as soon as Friday.
Republicans are using what is called budget reconciliation to repeal a large part of Obamacare.
Budget reconciliation allows lawmakers to pass legislation that has an effect on the federal budget with only a simple majority. In this case, outlays for things in the ACA, such as Medicaid expansion and funding for exchanges on which people can sign up for insurance, fit the bill.
So where does the resolution passed by the Senate on Thursday morning go next?
House Republicans will convene over the next few days to take up the Senate's budget resolution. If it passes the Republican-controlled House, which is likely, the resolution will instruct committees in the House to begin drafting legislation for repeal.
From there, the drafting will go much like any other bill: to a vote on it in the House (subject to simple majority) and then on to the Senate, where it can be amended. If it is amended, then it goes to conference committee.
If the Senate adds amendments, the conference committee made up of both House and Senate members responsible for drafting the bill would come together and create a compromise bill. That bill would then go through votes in both bodies and, if passed, go to Trump's desk for approval or veto.
Though the repeal is on the top of the legislative agenda, Trump is unlikely to put his pen into action on it anytime soon.
GOP leaders' comments that they want to replace the bill at the same time they repeal it suggest that a seamless transition may take time. House Speaker Paul Ryan said replacement and repeal would happen "concurrently," and Trump has pledged it will be "simultaneously."


Varying dates in July / August, 23rd July to 1st August 2012.
As the August moon waxes in the Buddhist month of Esala, the most extravagant of festivals takes over the city of Kandy in Sri Lanka. The procession includes fire-jugglers, acrobats, fabulously decorated elephants, traditional dancers, musicians, whip crackers, torch bearers and thousands of barefoot pilgrims and swordsmen to name but a few.
Each night as dusk settles the Perahera (parade) takes to the streets growing ever larger and more vibrant until the final night when the parade is at its most magnificent.
The tradition dates back to about 300 AD and is a blend of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs dedicated to the deity Skanda as well as Buddha. It is intended to invoke the blessings of the gods for rain, fertility, successful crops and good health. Elephants feature heavily as they are symbols of abundance and fertility. They are the "clouds who walk the Earth", and are therefore deemed instrumental in attracting the vital rains for a good harvest.
The largest elephant carries the most revered of treasures – a golden casket said to hold a tooth of Buddha. The story goes that Buddha's tooth was brought to Sri Lanka in the 3rd century AD, hidden in the tresses of a princess. Pilgrims flock to visit the golden temple, Sri Dalada Maligawa every day of the year to see this venerated treasure.

Juneau Assembly renames downtown district to honor original residents
By Adelyn Baxter (KTOO-Juneau) • Jul 9, 2019

A downtown Juneau neighborhood has a new name. Formerly known as the Willoughby District, the area will now be known as the Aak'w Village District, paying homage to its original residents.
Last year, descendants of some of the original residents of the Juneau Indian Village performed an oral history called "Aan Yátx'u Sáani: Noble People of the Land." In it, they talked about the renaming of traditional Tlingit sites after white settlers. Like the area that was once the Aak'w Kwáan clan's summer village. The clan was relocated there from Auke Bay when many went to work in the mines.
People now call it the Willoughby District.
Its namesake, Dick Willoughby, arrived in Juneau during the early mining days and went on to gain a reputation as a scam artist. He sold copies of postcards to tourists depicting what he called the "Silent City."
It was actually just a photograph of Bristol, England, superimposed over a photo of Muir Glacier.
Even with that reputation, after he died a road was built through the Juneau Indian Village, and it was named after him.
It's not entirely clear when the area became known as the Willoughby District, but the name has persisted for years.
That is, until the Aak'w Kwáan decided to request the change.
Clan spokesperson Frances Houston wrote a formal request to the Juneau Assembly earlier this year.
"I believe that the new name of Aak'w Village District is bringing back what is important to the Aak'w Kwáan clan," Houston said recently. "So with my opinion, it is showing the respect going back to the rightful people of this area."
The Assembly unanimously approved a resolution changing the district's name to the Aak'w Village District Monday night. The district's boundary includes the area between the Alaska State Office Building and Gold Creek, from Egan Drive to Village Street.

Deputy City Manager Mila Cosgrove said it may take some time for locals to stop calling the area the Willoughby District, but the change will be reflected soon as the city works on the Downtown Wayfinding and Interpretive Element Project.
"So signage, instead of referring to it as the Willoughby District, will refer to it as the Aak'w Village District," Cosgrove said.
For Houston, changing the name is also a way of honoring her mother, tribal leader Rosa Miller, who asked her to take on the role of speaking for her clan.
"I never thought I would be doing this, but it's important. I know that I'm doing something important for the clan, and that's to stand tall," she said.
Earlier this year, students led an effort to add a Tlingit name to Juneau-Douglas High School. The school board approved the proposal, adding Yadaa.at Kalé, meaning "beautifully adorned face," to the school's name.
How carving halibut hooks teaches Juneau students both science and tradition
By Zoe Grueskin (KTOO-Juneau) • May 2, 2019
In a science classroom at Juneau-Douglas High School: Yadaa.at Kalé, students are holding carving knives. Teacher Henry Hopkins walks up and down the rows of desks, showing them how to shape the hunks of yellow cedar in their hands.
"The students were working on traditional Tlingit halibut hooks, which sounds like it's primarily a Tlingit carving project, but it's actually a science project," said Hopkins.
Summit invites fluid speakers of Southeast Alaska Native languages
By Tripp Crouse • Sep 14, 2018
About 100 fluent speakers of Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian languages are left in Alaska and Canada's Interior. And a Southeast Alaska cultural center invites them to Juneau for an Alaska Native language summit.
"Voices of Our Ancestors" will invite fluent speakers of Lingit, Xaad Kil and Sm'algyax. The three-day regional summit will be Nov. 13-15.
Sealaska Heritage Institute will cover transportation and hotel costs for fluent speakers living in Alaska.
Tlingit code talkers recognized by Alaska Legislature for their efforts during World War II
By Henry Leasia (KHNS-Haines) • Mar 12, 2019
The Alaska Legislature adopted a citation Wednesday recognizing the contributions of Tlingit code talkers during World War II. During floor sessions, representatives and senators spoke about the outsized role that Alaska Natives have played in the military.
Climate change looks different in Southeast Alaska. Here's how tribes are planning for that.
By Elizabeth Jenkins (Alaska's Energy Desk) • Jun 4, 2019
Alaska's most recent plan to address climate change was removed from the state's website back in December. Meanwhile, some municipalities and tribal governments are moving ahead with their own ideas about how to respond to the growing problem.

Best Buy Impacted by Payment Card Breach
After Delta Air Lines and Sears Holdings, Best Buy has also come forward to warn customers that their payment card information may have been compromised as a result of a breach suffered by online services provider [24]7.ai.
Similar to Delta and Sears, Best Buy contracted [24]7.ai for online chat/support services. The retailer says it will contact impacted customers and provide free credit monitoring if needed.
Best Buy has not specified exactly how many of its customers are impacted, but noted that "only a small fraction of our overall online customer population could have been caught up in this [24]7.ai incident, whether or not they used the chat function."
San Jose, CA-based [24]7.ai provides customer acquisition and engagement solutions to organizations in a wide range of sectors and any of them could be impacted by this incident. Its website lists several major firms, but some of them apparently no longer do business with the company.
Delta has set up a dedicated page on its website and it has provided some new information regarding the incident. According to the airline, cybercriminals planted a piece of malware in [24]7.ai software, which captured some payment card data between September 26 and October 12, 2017.
"[The malware] made unauthorized access possible for the following fields of information when manually completing a payment card purchase on any page of the delta.com desktop platform during the same timeframe: name, address, payment card number, CVV number, and expiration date," Delta explained.
The airline believes the incident may impact hundreds of thousands of customers, but it cannot say definitively whether any information has actually been stolen by the attackers.
It appears that the malware involved in this attack is capable of harvesting payment card information entered on websites that use the [24]7.ai chat software. Consumers may be impacted even if they have not directly used the chat functionality, which has only been leveraged as a point of entry to the websites of major organizations. These types of attacks have been common in the past years.
Sears Holdings, the company that owns the Sears and Kmart retail store brands, says the incident has impacted the credit card information of less than 100,000 customers.
Sears and Delta said they were only notified by [24]7.ai in mid and late March, several months after the breach had been supposedly contained.
Contacted by SecurityWeek, [24]7.ai said it could not provide any additional information about the breach, citing client confidentiality agreements.

Well, it had to happen sometime. Mon famille has discovered Costco. Picture this: three Brits gawking at the wide Costco Entrance. "Mesmerizing," was the term my husband remarked!
Once inside, all three of us gasped at the huge amounts of tissues for the loo, soap for the bath, laundry, etc, then we saw it: The Food Halls!
This rivals Harrods' Food Halls. In fact, if Harrods had a warehouse, it would be called Costco! The Fishmongers with whole king crabs, and lobsters! The Bakers showing off the largest pies and cakes we have ever seen! The Butchers with literally tons of carved meats! (Must be where Lady Gaga got her ham dress?) Red Meat Couture.
We confess we all bought too much and my daughter loved the Juicy Couture lounging pants in four colors for half price! There was a cashmere sweater set I looked at, but no, I cannot wear single ply. My husband fingered the puffy down jackets by North Face. He had to have one. We were in discount heaven!
Before paying we decided to try to have Tea, just like Harrods in the café area. Fiona and I settled in on the clean white plastic table, not really my style and my husband went for Tea and Cakes. How disappointing when he came back with Hot Dogs and Smoothies! Oh well, Harrods has you beat Costco when it comes to Tea, dahling.
We paid the huge bill. Much larger than we supposed being everything was "such a bargain", and made our way to the doorway. We were "checked" out by a large lady who demanded our receipt and nosed through our cart to see if we were "pocketing "any items not paid for. That was a little daunting, but Fiona mentioned it wasn't as bad as the Pat Down she had at Heathrow.
So a quick call for the car and James put all our treasures in the trunk. Home to unpack and find a new room sized pantry for all the "Super Sized" larder essentials.
Now who wants to try some of the eight cans of Chili we had to have? We also have six boxes or crackers to go with.

TV ReviewsAmerican DadSeason 8
American Dad: "Naked To The Limit, One More Time"
Kevin McFarland
American DadSeason 8
"Naked To The Limit, One More Time"
American Dad flouts continuity more often than I'd like in an episodic animated comedy. Sure, at the beginning of any episode, the same stable of characters is at the writers' disposal. But the show has worked itself into a place where it frequently juts out on a tangent away from normal continuity or canon, and feels no need to bring an episode back to status quo by the end. Do this once, and it undercuts expectation in intriguing fashion. Do it repeatedly, and it loses its charm, and starts to feel like either the writers construct plots incapable of resolution, or that they don't want to.
The attitude seems to be, "This is the eighth season, the characters are established, so it's okay for Roger to shove Jeff into the tractor beam of a spaceship returning to Roger's home planet, have the episode end a minute later, and do nothing about it because it starts over again next week." Call me old fashioned, but I'm disappointed with the frequency of these plots, and how many of them feature Roger being an incorrigible jackass to get what he wants. He can't walk around naked because Jeff doesn't know he's an alien, so he poses as Jeff's new invisible friend. At that point, it's not even so he can walk around naked, it's so he can act as obnoxious as possible to Stan and Francine.
The eighth season première went through these same motions, with a conflict that ended in Roger skinning Jeff alive, one of the more disturbing moments of the season. That's also the episode that throws Roger's callous, repeated dismissals of Hayley into question. He loves her as a lounge singer, and even mutilates her husband, but now he shoves Jeff into a tractor beam and barely registers any memory of anything about Hayley. These continuity slips make it harder to laugh at the jokes, because it makes the characters so malleable that they aren't reliable.
It's more difficult to actually solve the problem at hand: Either Jeff needs to address his inability to keep a secret, or Roger actually needs to figure out another solution besides returning to a freezing, booze-less home planet with only consensual sex. A lot of viewers like Roger—and I do too, when the disguise is right—but indulging and celebrating this side of him isn't funny to me. The extended montage of Roger highlights falls flat, and went on for so long that I didn't really care if they were made up or all actually recycled from previous episodes. There's a light E.T. vibe to the final scene, but I felt nothing but disappointment for the way the episode ended.
Roger repeats the line "There's always a way around things!" a few times during this episode, and that seems to be the mantra whenever this type of episode rolls around. It's constantly trying to subvert typical episode structure, but to its own detriment, since that quick cut to black after a non-resolution is now established as a typical model for American Dad.
The B-plot isn't much better, as Steve is the only one of his friends whose butt hasn't "come in yet," the male equivalent of the last girl to get boobs. His friends all have defined posteriors, and he's left flat and resorts to stuffing his shorts with halves of a ham. But that plot ends the similarly to the main one, just continuing on in one direction with only a slight suggestion of any change. Steve knows he should be comfortable, and it came through a ridiculous escape scenario where he needed a flat butt to squeeze out of a donut shop. But the 911 call that completely ignores the fire is a left-turn joke that leaves another plot feeling incomplete. Steve's so focused on his own problem that it makes him oblivious to others, and he's narcissistic enough to only talk about himself to a 911 operator.
There are a few moments that stick out as particularly funny—Principal Lewis killing a few drug dealers and stealing a plane full of cocaine, the cutaway where Jeff spills secret after secret—but for the most part, this is a thoroughly unexceptional episode. Not egregious, or offensive, or notably terrible, but every time American Dad throws caution to the wind and refuses to reign in the third act, it gets a little more frustrating. Defying sitcom structure can be exciting and compelling to watch, but breaking from that structure in the same way multiple times is a crutch.
American Dad uses cutaways so sparingly that it's actually a bit jarring to see one, but the Jeff flashback/cutaway made me laugh a lot.
I guess you kind of have to use The Usual Suspects in that kind of a situation, though Fight Club and a couple others may have worked too.
Principal Lewis is the MVP of this episode, and frankly, most episodes in which he appears.

Corks & Curls remembers the year
The making of the U.Va. yearbook
By Elizabeth Cornick | 12/04/2016
After a seven-year hiatus, Corks & Curls returned last year to memorialize students' University experiences.
Marshall Bronfin | Cavalier Daily
Corks & Curls, the University yearbook, was founded in 1888 and consisted of a staff composed of one brother from each fraternity. After a seven-year hiatus in publication between 2008 and 2015, Corks & Curls released the 2014-15 edition, heralding its revival.
The University yearbook is a feature-driven publication that strives to memorialize the student and University connection in any given year.
Managing Editor Sarah Alexander, a second-year College student, said in order to keep the yearbook focus on student life at the University, the Corks & Curls staff brainstorms different story ideas and pays close attention to University conversations.
"When you're reading the yearbook, we want to make you feel like you're reliving the year," Alexander said. "So you can look at this book almost like a coffee table book, so you can look back on the year and really reflect on what went on, what made this year special and what kind of events people went to that made this year great."
Corks & Curls works to cover all events around Grounds. Though many are the same year to year — due in part to the many traditions at the University — staff members will specifically look for events that make 2016-17 unique from the other years, Alexander said.
Notably, Alexander said this year's edition will include a spread on the controversial presidential election and its impact on student life. Corks & Curls staff are approaching the election from various angles, including stories on the Eliminate the Hate Campaign and student voter turnout statistics.
Photography is another important component for the yearbook's documentation of student activities at the University. Sarah Thomas, a second-year College student and photo co-editor, said Corks & Curls afforded her the opportunity to continue to be involved with photography while at the University.
"I really enjoyed the fact that I got to see all these different parts of the University that I never would have been able to see," Thomas said. "When you're a photographer I think that you really get to see all the different aspects [of the University] and a lot of the behind the scenes that goes into the creation of the big events. It takes you random places, but in the best way."
One of the main featured spreads of Corks & Curls this year will be the reopening of the Rotunda — an especially unique part of student life this year, Alexander said.
Before September, many current University students had yet to sit on the steps of the Rotunda or see it without other remnants of its reconstruction — like the black coverings that had been draped over the Rotunda's columns.
Other spreads in the yearbook will focus on the Muslim Student Association, Double Hoos — students who attended the University in both undergraduate and graduate programs, Monticello, Special Collections Library, University athletics and other events.
Just as Corks & Curls aims to highlight what is unique about University student life for the 2016-17 year, the yearbook itself is a unique publication. In addition to the stories and photographs, Thomas said in past years Corks & Curls has included poetry and drawings.
"We have some poetry that we're trying to incorporate in the book," Thomas said. "We try to make it somewhat creative … You have to be careful because it's not a newspaper article, it's about the interesting parts of U.Va. life and you want to focus on that connection between the students and the University."

Law students: Apply for 2007 MBF Legal Intern Fellowship Program
Issue January 2007
Return Print This Article Download This Issue
The Massachusetts Bar Foundation (MBF) is pleased to announce that applications are now available for its Legal Intern Fellowship Program (LIFP). Through the LIFP, the MBF awards $6,000 stipends to law students who intern during the summer months at nonprofit organizations providing civil legal services to low-income clients in Massachusetts. Founded in 1996, the LIFP seeks to encourage careers in the law that further the goals of social justice, while contributing valuable legal support to organizations serving the state's low-income population.
MBF Trustee and LIFP Committee Chair Jenny C. Chou explained, "With these grants, organizations that address the legal needs of the poor are able to get much-needed assistance from law students. And having had the experience of working with a legal aid organization, these students may be more inclined to enter the arena of public service law. It is really a win-win situation."
Generous funding from the MBF Fellows Fund and the Smith Family Fund makes this program possible. Established together with the MBF in 1964, the MBF Fellows Fund consists of donations from Massachusetts lawyers and judges who serve as fellows to the foundation. Proceeds from this fund are used for initiatives that support the MBF's mission: to improve the administration of justice, promote an understanding of the law, and ensure equal access to the legal system for all residents of the commonwealth. The Smith Family Fund was created as a permanent endowment to the MBF in 1989 to provide legal services to low-income individuals, especially to children.
As one of the MBF's most successful initiatives, the LIFP has enabled law students to put lessons learned in the classroom into practice at organizations across the state. Students repeatedly rave about their experience. For example, Adam Homicz, 2003 MBF Fellow, noted, "The experience gave me invaluable insight into the intricacies of legal aid and taught me more about how law is actually practiced than my entire first year of law school."

Goal Of Life Moral Stories.
Once in a city, a child lived with his father, after coming to school, he used to go to work with his father. His father used to work in a horse stable. The child sees that every day and wonders how his father works so hard, but still never receives the honour that the owner of those stables receives. He used to see how the owner of those stables gets a lot of respect in society.
The next day, he enthusiastically gave his article to the teacher. The teacher told the results after examining the entire article and did not give any grade to the child's article.
Now the child went to the teacher and asked: Why did not you give me, Marcos and extended it?
The teacher said: If you also wrote a small and thick article like the rest of the children, then you would have approved, but what you wrote is completely impossible. You have nothing with people, so what you have written may not be possible. If you want, I give you another chance, you should write another article tomorrow, which makes a real goal.
The boy thought hard about going home, but he could not think of becoming something else. The next day he went to the teacher and said: "Give me the marks you give me, but this is my dream, and I do not want to be anything else, I can not change my dream". After 20 years this child has literally completed his dream.
The moral: we must understand that if we decide to do something and without distracting our entire mind, we can not prevent us from fulfilling his dream if we put all our attention in achieving that goal. There should be no doubt about your own dream alone in your mind.

We also plan to offer a number of breakout sessions on the important periods of RCIA.

Q: How can I add org.json (json) to my application so that it successfully deploys to JBoss Fuse? Background:
I want to use org.json.JSONArray and org.json.JSONObject but am not clear on how I can add support in my JBoss Fuse container.
Problem:
Simply dropping the jar (i.e., "json-20170516.jar") into the JBoss Fuse "deploy" folder does not appear to suffice.
- In fact, it appears to cause issues with other bundles...
i.e.,
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.json</groupId>
        <artifactId>json</artifactId>
        <version>20170516</version>
        <type>jar</type>
    </dependency>

Question
Is it possible to provide support for this api in JBoss Fuse - and, if so, how can this be acheived?

this did not work for me (likely a maven config issue)

What if criminal suspects could gain a leg up on police by listening in on secure law enforcement radio transmissions via smart phones? That's already happening in Maryland, according to ThreatPost.
Law enforcement officials in the state are reporting that "criminal gang members and associates" are using websites such as radioreference.com and mobile apps including the 5-0 Police Radio Scanner to monitor police officers' moves. In a warning issued last month, the Maryland Coordination and Analysis Center said officers in at least one incident had heard their radio transmissions over a suspect's smart phone.
The center warned that suspects can use the information gleaned from the app transmissions to plot their crimes, set up ambushes for police officers, or plan escape routes.
There were at least 20 scanner apps available for download as of 2010, the center reports. One of them, the 5-0, advertises access to several emergency transmissions, including police, fire, aircraft, railroad and marine frequencies, according to the center's warning.

Semantic Technology Experts In Demand
by Mark Feffer July 22, 2016 4 min read
AnalyticsDataSemantic Technology
If you're not heavily involved in the data world, you may not have heard of semantic technology, but it might be time to give the category some attention. It's one of those areas of tech that's becoming more important as organizations of all kinds contend with streams of information that contain multiple data structures (or no structures) and move at speeds that approach the threshold of mind-boggling.
If you follow the news, you can watch the technology's spread through a variety of industries and products. Ford, for example, recently led a seed funding round for California startup Civil Maps, which converts raw 3D data into machine-readable maps to help fully autonomous vehicles navigate any road. And health IT experts say the day is coming when "data silos and lack of semantic interoperability will not be tolerated." As Irene Polikoff, CEO of semantic data integration company TopQuadrant in Raleigh-Durham, N.C., told Dice Insights: "Pretty much every major bank has a group working in this area."
But what is semantic technology? In Business Cloud News, Jarred McGinnis, UK managing consultant at Bulgaria-based developer Ontotext, defined semantic technologies as encoding "meaning into content and data to enable a computer system to possess human-like understanding and reasoning." Polikoff describes it as "a standard for sharing data and metadata so it can be easily distributed using a standard protocol," allowing you to "use the same data model to capture both data and metadata."
Why is that important? It allows for significant improvements in the way data is categorized, stored and retrieved.
"Data has become so heterogeneous," Polikoff observed. "You used to be able to design a data model and stick with it, but now it's becoming so varied it needs more flexibility" to process and use effectively. With semantic technology, data and metadata can be stored in the same standard and space. Among other things, that means the data warehouse doesn't have to be designed in advance.
"Call it schema-last," Polikoff said. "Add data first, then structure it." That's a handy capability to have when your company struggles to understand disparate data sets, where they're coming from and what they represent. "It allows identification of non-standardized data in a multitude of formats," Polikoff explained.
Many Opportunities, Not So Many People
As in so many other areas of tech, the demand for people with skills in semantic technology outstrips the number of tech pros who understand how to put it to use. Those people are in "a whole range" of roles, Polikoff said, including data architects and those who work with data models, as well as application architects and developers who know the standards and languages to create applications to run against it.
With so much activity taking place across so many industries, it doesn't appear as if demand will let up any time soon. To help address the shortage, companies such as Polikoff"s TopQuadrant, Oracle, Ontotext (which has offices in New York) and Oakland-based Franz Inc. provide training programs; some colleges, and a handful of MOOCs, also offer classes.
As Luca Scagliarini notes in Networks Asia, "The opportunities presented by 'making sense' of our data and information come with new requirements for comprehension, context and connection." In cognitive computing, information management, and data analytics, semantic technology is becoming an important part of the data-scientist toolkit.
