Limerick supporter Pa Buckley looks on during his side's Allianz HL Division 1 semi-final clash against Tipperary at Semple Stadium, Thurles.
A long range converted free from Murphy was one of the highlights of the Cats' impressive display against Wexford.
Flynn went about his business with the minimum of fuss during Saturday evening's epic extra-time battle.
Wexford struggled to break down a Kilkenny defence which was superbly marshalled by their full-back.
English and the Treaty County have enjoyed a profitable league campaign that should stand them in good stead for the championship.
Delaney was tasked with the job of curbing Lee Chin's influence and he didn't let his side down.
Like Walsh behind him, the Kilkenny captain nipped more than his fair share of Model County attacks in the bud.
Maher and his Tipp team-mates will renew their rivalry with the Cats in Sunday's eagerly anticipated decider.
The Patrickswell player was his usual busy self and hit two late points which helped his side regain parity before the regulation 70 minutes came to a close.
A converted line ball from all of 75 yards out was a moment of exceptional skill from Maher.
Curran contributed three points to his county's cause against the Shannonsiders.
The Ballyhale maestro punished Wexford indiscipline with 12 converted frees and also chipped in with three points from play for good measure.
McGrath is in great form at the moment and pick-pocketed Limerick to the tune of five points from play.
The Tipperary defence had its hands full trying to keep tabs on Flanagan who sent over three points.
Premier boss Michael Ryan was full of praise for Forde after he amassed a personal tally of 2-11 at Semple Stadium on Saturday evening.
O'Connor's performance was one of the few positives from a Model County perspective.

My favorite Road Atlanta moment, was in 2007 or 2008, please forgive me I forget the year. It was a rain-drenched practice session that is etched in the forefront of my mind. All of the American Le Mans fans and their teams went into their dry huddles. Me, the diehard, sat in my GTI at the top of turn one hoping for sun.
Then, after about 5 minutes I heard a rumble in my chest. I got out of my car, went to the fence and I then saw these halogen headlights ablaze, cutting through the raindrops. I couldn't believe it! It was the gold DHL sponsored P2 RS Spyder! It rocketed past me, through the esses with no fear, it was Pat Long! At the bottom of the curves, up spectator hill, it was a blur, with an 18 to 20 foot rooster tail being sprayed by the Michelin pilots... Wow, I still get goose bumps as I remember my favorite Road Atlanta moment.
I am a tennis pro in Atlanta, GA and racing is my passion. I've not missed a race since the American Le Mans started. My home track, Road Atlanta, is my favorite. The best place to watch the race would be at the top of turn one before the esses as the cars carry the power out of turn one and down shift before the esses as they hit the curbing …SWEET!

How feasible is a nuclear terrorist attack on the U.S.?
Among U.S. counterterrorism officials, it is the ultimate nightmare scenario: al-Qaeda detonating a nuclear bomb in a U.S. city. Osama bin Laden says it is a religious duty to obtain a bomb, and most experts believe that if al-Qaeda were to succeed, the group wouldn't hesitate to use it. Though building even a crude nuclear weapon is time consuming, the wide availability of raw material and scientific expertise means that it is plausible for terrorists someday to get their hands on one. "The simplest nuclear bomb," says Ivan Oelrich, director of the security project at the Federation of American Scientists, "is very simple indeed."
The biggest hurdle is getting the material that causes the nuclear explosion. For a basic nuclear weapon, terrorists would need about 100 lbs. of highly enriched, weapons-grade uranium (HEU). Fortunately, manufacturing HEU is extremely difficult. Refining it requires vast industrial facilities, top-flight engineers and the kinds of resources available to a government but not to rogue terrorist groups. Unfortunately, many states have already done the hard work, creating 1,800 tons of HEU that is housed at research facilities, weapons depots and other storage sites in as many as 24 countries, according to William Potter, director of nonproliferation studies at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. Of greatest concern is the more than 300 tons of HEU in the former Soviet Union. Some of the material may have already gone missing: since 1991, there have been seven attempted thefts reported of small amounts of bomb-grade material and more than 700 reported thefts of unrefined nuclear material. In Chelyabinsk, Russia, in 1998, Russian intelligence uncovered a plot by employees at a nuclear facility in the region to smuggle out 40 lbs. of HEU for sale on the black market.
With sufficient fissile material in hand, a trained engineer could build a crude device without too much difficulty. The most basic design is that of the Hiroshima bomb, which fired two pieces of HEU at each other from opposite ends of an artillery tube. The bomb could be assembled at a basic machine shop and would fit in the back of a truck. If smuggled into the U.S. and detonated in a major metropolitan area, such a weapon could kill hundreds of thousands.

Retirement home firm McCarthy & Stone has returned to the stock market with a flotation valuing the group at £967 million.
The company had been listed on the London Stock Exchange for more than 20 years until 2006 when it was taken private in a £1.1 billion deal by a consortium led by Halifax Bank of Scotland (HBOS) and Sir Tom Hunter.
It has raised £90m through today’s initial public offering (IPO) of a 35 per cent stake in the business and said the proceeds would provide flexibility for further investment in land and building work.
Chief executive Clive Fenton said: “The level of support that our IPO has received is a strong endorsement of our differentiated business model and clearly-defined growth strategy.
After HBOS was rescued by Lloyds in early 2009, Lloyds became the major shareholder in McCarthy & Stone before selling its stake.
The builder’s major shareholders include lender Goldman Sachs and buyout firms TPG, Strategic Value Partners, Anchorage Capital Partners and Alchemy Partners.

Busway. A Pittsburgh City Paper Cover.
I had a lot of fun with this one. The City Paper’s editor, Lisa, wanted an illustration for a cover story on Pittsburgh’s Busways. And she wanted it to evoke that kidlit feel of something like a Richard Scarry book (with anthropomorphized animals going about their daily business).
I also thought about those hidden picture puzzles in Highlights while I was setting up the composition. Just a lot of little things, all going on at once. I used Clip Studio Paint for this illustration. Here’s my process.
This was all sketched loosely in Clip Studio using the Blue Real Pencil. I just wanted to get something down quick to get approval from Lisa. Once she and the writer hammered out a few details, I was given the go-ahead.
Inked in Clip Studio, with various inking tools. The most important tool at this stage were the Curve Rulers. I used those to ink all of those long, sweeping, curved lines (on the guardrail, sidewalks, roads, etc) and to help keep the lines of the buses and windows smooth.
I used a couple layers in Clip Studio to keep the flat colors and the highlights/shadows separate. I do this mostly so if I change my mind about one or the other, I can make tiny changes without having to redo the whole thing.
The tortoise here is being trailed by a hare (running up the stairs) that just can’t catch him. As usual, the tortoise wins this race.
March just wrapped up, so I had lions and lambs on my mind. I also threw in a bear with a Steelers jersey. Gotta rep the local sports teams.
In this section, the Pirates and Penguins get a nod. So does Pittsburgh legend Mister Rogers. His X The Owl character is going about his day wearing a classic Mister Rogers sweater.
The City Paper was kind enough to throw me this gig, so I made sure to put a CP Newspaper box in the picture. It was also a convenient place to put that banana the monkey’s so interested in. Oh, and that chicken? Originally, he was ‘crossing the road’ but that’s one of those edits they made at the paper. No crosswalks on busways. So now chicken’s riding the bus. I guess there’s more than one way to cross a road.
Ducks feeding ducks, a teddy bear at a picnic, just another pleasant day in the park. And is that a familiar friend in the bottom right?
Yup. I snuck in alternate universe versions of my Bigfoot and Scout characters (and even their squirrel pal, Squeaky). It’s a friendly city. I’m sure Bigfoot would feel right at home here.
Pittsburgh City Paper came calling last week to see if I’d do another cover for them. As art director/managing editor Lisa Cunningham explained it to me, this cover was going to represent a combination of a few things: the start of Pride Month, the release of an upcoming documentary on beloved Pittsburgher Fred Rogers, and the point at which those two entities intersect — Mister Rogers’ radical history of accepting all types of people and minorities before it was commonplace.
I didn’t have to do much layout work for this image because Lisa wanted it to echo the feel of a much-later photo of Fred Rogers where he’s shown welcoming friends to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
I did a quick, blue-pencil sketch in Clip Studio to map things out.
And then I went in with a pencil tool to work out the caricature. Initially, I was going to go over the pencils with a digital inking, but the sense I get from Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood is a very warm, soft, gentle feeling. So I thought I’d leave the pencil work as the final line.
After that, it’s all about adding color in Clip Studio. Again, I chose tools that might have a softer feel — pastels, colored pencils.
Initially, the job called only for Mister Rogers and Trolley. But he seemed a little solitary in the Neighborhood of Make Believe, so after handing in the assignment I requested a chance to add in some of my favorite neighbors. It just seemed like a happier scene with everyone in there.
Of course, I always leave a little extra in the composition because I never know how Lisa’s gonna crop/edit the illustration to fit the needs of the cover text and masthead. I like what she did with it this week, masking around the castle turrets.

Spend-management group Proactis Holdings swung to an annual profit after the acquisition of payment provider Perfect Commerce helped it boost sales.
Pre-tax profit for the year through July amounted to £3.7m, compared to a loss of £2.7m on-year.
Adjusted pre-tax profit, which stripped out one-off items such as acquisition expenses, jumped to £12.0m, up from £4.2m.
Proactis declared a final dividend of 1.5p per share, up from 1.4p on-year.
'This has been the first full year of ownership of Perfect which has dramatically changed the group's profile and has accelerated its strategy,' chief executive Hampton Wall said.

Electric car company Lucid Motors was all about its home state of California at the Los Angeles Auto Show a couple of weeks ago.
"We're a California car company and it's a fresh California spirit," said Peter Rawlinson, chief technology officer at Lucid Motors, as he showed off a new luxury 1,000-horsepower electric car at the show.
On Tuesday, though, Rawlinson was in Casa Grande, Ariz., announcing that Lucid will build its cars in the Grand Canyon State.
"The site we've located has been carefully selected, having scoured the U.S. extensively," he said.
He didn't say why California lost out. But Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey crowed about how his state's "commitment to low taxes and light regulations make us the best place in the nation to start and scale a new business."
Lucid is a small company based in Redwood City with grand plans to market a powerful electric luxury car packed with technology, to compete against German luxury brands and Tesla. The company showed off two "alpha" versions of the car at the Casa Grande event, wrapped in black-and-white camouflage.
When it hits full production, Lucid expects to turn out 50,000 to 60,000 cars a year. It intends to invest $700 million in the Arizona assembly plant and will hire about 2,000 workers by 2022. Initial hiring and groundbreaking are set for 2017; cars are expected to reach customers the following year.
Casa Grande is a desert town of 50,000 located about 50 miles southeast of Phoenix.
Lucid also said it planned to import car parts from Mexican factories near the border. Claudia Pavlovich, governor of the Mexican state of Sonora, took part in the Lucid announcement on Tuesday.
"Our two states together," she said, "have complementary strengths that make us more competitive" for industrial development.
Nogales, the name of American and Mexican municipalities on either side of the border, serves as a major trade gateway between the countries: $6.6 billion worth of goods crosses the border south and $10 billion worth crosses north annually.
Lucid is backed by Chinese investors, including Jia Yeuting, who also is backing Faraday Future, the Gardena-based car company having trouble delivering on its own hot new electric luxury car. Faraday has stopped paying millions of dollars in bills due and work has ceased at its barren factory site northeast of Las Vegas.
Lucid, however, is also funded by BAIC, a major automaker based in Beijing and controlled by the Chinese government.
Asked about Faraday and its problems, Rawlinson told the Los Angeles Times: "That's a completely different company."

Gasoline prices declined for the 70th consecutive day and are now 55% below the record high in mid-July.
Should the Obama administration launch a massive stimulus plan upon taking office?
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Gasoline prices declined for the 70th straight day, falling below the $1.87 per gallon mark, according to a national survey of credit card swipes at gasoline stations.
The national average fell 1.7 cents, sinking to the lowest level since Jan. 27, 2005, according to motorist group AAA. Over the last 70 days gas prices have plummeted 52%.
Prices at the pump have dropped $1.223 per gallon from a year ago and are now down 55% from the record-high of $4.114 per gallon reached in mid-July.
A total of 38 states recorded prices below $2 a gallon, with the cheapest gas found in Missouri, where prices averaged $1.571 a gallon.
Alaska continued to have the highest price at $2.889 per gallon.
Prices at the pump have been on a rollercoaster in 2008. Soaring prices curtailed travel this summer, and Americans waited months for a reprieve. They cut back spending in order to fill their gas tanks.
When the price reached the record-high $4.114 a gallon set on July 17, gas prices had risen already 35% year-over-year.
Gas prices finally began to sink on Aug. 21, as the dollar strengthened and oil prices saw their biggest drop in 17 years.
Late August brought Hurricane Gustav threatening infrastructure in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm shut down nearly all crude oil production and 82% of natural gas production in the Gulf region. Soon after, Hurricane Ike loomed over Texas and gas prices shot up in September, reaching more than $5 per gallon in some parts of the country during the early part of the month.
On Sept. 16, gas prices started declined as crude prices began trending lower amid weakening demand.
Meanhwile, the global economic slowdown continued to churn. The government's $700 billion Wall Street bailout plan punished the dollar, and on Sept. 21, oil prices posted their biggest one-day dollar gain.
Gas prices, meanhile, have continued to sink sharply, plunging 55% from the record-high in mid-July. Oil traders fear the global economic slowdown will continue to quash demand for fuel.
The AAA figures, compiled by Oil Price Information Services, are state-wide averages based on credit card swipes at up to 100,000 service stations across the nation.

After four months of combing through a Commerce City landfill, authorities on Wednesday have concluded the search for evidence in connection with the disappearance of 36-year-old Charlene Voight, according to Denver7 Investigates.
The conclusion of the search comes after the Littleton City Council approved $500,000 in December to continue the search, which started last November.
And though crews didn’t find exactly what they were looking for, they did discover pieces of evidence that could help in the ongoing search for the missing woman.
Voight was reported missing by her family last July 8 after they hadn’t heard from her since the final days of June. She had moved to Colorado from California just weeks before disappearing in order to live with her boyfriend, Jeffrey Scot Beier.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A group of black teenage girls stomp, clap and shout in unison in step dance routines, channeling their anger, frustration and hopes into powerful performances in a new documentary “Step,” out in U.S. theaters this week.
The journey of the founding class of the step troupe at the Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women shows the girls’ struggles in the aftermath of protests and rioting in the city where 25-year-old black man Freddie Gray died after suffering a broken neck in a police van in April 2015.
Stepping is not actually a dance, said Cori Grainger, one of the film’s lead subjects, because it does not use a beat. Instead, “you are the beat, you are the music, you use your hands, you stomp your feet, you clap, it’s spoken word,” Grainger told Reuters.
“We began to use step as a platform to talk about things that were most important to us, so we used our themes to educate people while we entertained them,” Grainger said.
“There are just rampant misunderstandings about the Black Lives Matter movement in this country and seeing these young women stand up and say ‘it could have been me,’ it feels different,” added the film’s director Amanda Lipitz.
The charter school attended by the girls aims for a 100 percent graduation and college acceptance rate, a goal that challenges some of the film’s protagonists.
Grainger hinges her hopes on a full scholarship to Johns Hopkins University as her family struggles financially while another girl, Blessin Giraldo, has to face the consequences of her low grades amid a difficult home life. Tayla Solomon clashes with a mother determined to keep her on the right track.
“I think a common misconception is that urban communities don’t really have kids in them who have big dreams and hopes,” Grainger said.

Two Glendale men were sentenced on Monday to 366 days in federal prison for their roles in cigarette trafficking scheme. Grigor Chivitchian, 57, and Sarkis Mkrtchyan, 47, were also ordered to pay $280,000 in restitution to the state.
The two men pleaded guilty to federal contraband trafficking and conspiracy charges in September, according to announcement from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The investigation that started in 2007 found that Mkrtchyan and Chivitchian were not authorized to purchase or possess untaxed cigarettes in California.
The two men were also ordered to serve three years of probation.
By avoiding interstate taxes and reporting, smugglers can make millions that go unreported.
Another Glendale man sentenced to more than seven years in federal prison in April for cigarette fraud and tax evasion in 2008.
Between January 2002 and June 2005, Avedis Djeredjian, now 41, bought more than 367,960 cartons of cigarettes from North Carolina without adequate tax stamps from California regulators, depriving California of $3.2 million in tax revenue, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Djeredjian was also ordered to pay back more than $6.4 million. And upon completing his prison sentence, Djeredjian will have three years of parole.

Two thoughts about freedom of movement, not directly related to Jeremy Corbyn’s speech in Peterborough today. Maybe more related to the ‘framing’ that preceded it (via the press release), but most of all in relation to the general stew the Labour left is getting itself in over immigration.
Firstly, if we’re going to talk about low wages and “social dumping” (which is both a function of capitalism, and the fundamental inequality within the expanded EU), then we should make sure that we also talk about the main labour movement response, which isn’t purely about regulation, but organisation. Sadly, many unions have offered lip service only to organising migrant workers and levelling up on wages since the EU enlargement in 2004. Falling back on Little Englandism post-Brexit is at best a masking of those failures. That important part of the jigsaw – union organisation with migrants and others on the periphery of the labour market – went missing in that press release today. It wasn’t much present in Corbyn’s speech, which mentioned workers rights, but not organising and campaigning. This was also missing in the referendum campaign – for example, the posted workers directive was only mentioned in the last week. We can’t afford to miss this stuff out, because it forms the basis of our opposition to UKIP.
Secondly, let’s not forget about the big picture. This issue, like Brexit, was always going to be tough – and to lay the blame purely on Corbyn’s head is ahistorical nonsense, which does none of us any good. For the last two decades at least, we’ve taken for granted huge swathes of the working class (and my that I mean the working class in all it’s diversity, not a “white” working class) and a simple consequence is that they’ve stopped listening to us as a party. This is a much deeper crisis than anyone seems to realise. At the same time, the right wing media has still had their ear, and that, combined with a folklore that has gone about in many working class communities (that it is the migrants to blame) has really taken root. It’s toxic because there are real job losses going on in those communities, leading to real poverty – and the left (broadly speaking) hasn’t been there to explain the real reasons for those changes – neither have the unions to a large extent.
None of this is especially surprising, but it is a huge mountain to climb. It will take a long time, as there are no easy fixes: only by using our remaining links – what’s left of the unions especially – to get back into those communities and start to build trust again can we do it. That involves (a) creating a more dynamic union movement and (b) a community-based organising approach. I’ve seen it happening on a small scale with the Durham TAs over the last year. It can be done. As well as getting into those communities, we need to have a positive alternative which directs people’s anger upwards, instead of at the people next door, or from the agency. That won’t happen by magic, as if we can shift the dead weight of “common sense” over night, with a press release or a speech. It’s down to all of us. But we’d best crack on.

Sharp Performance, a late-blooming 3-year-old colt trained by Dave Donk, didn’t make his first start until March, finishing a close third on grass at Gulfstream Park. But the son of Kris S. out of a Theatrical mare is bred on both sides for turf and distance, and he’s done nothing wrong since.
After breaking his maiden by 13/4 lengths over the lawn at Belmont Park in May, then taking a mile-and-a-quarter allowance by two, Sharp Performance won his stakes debut yesterday at Belmont, coming from off the pace to take the Grade 3, $150,000 Lexington by a length. He ran the 10 furlongs over the inner turf course in a sizzling 1:58.4 under regular rider John Velazquez.
Package Store, second by a neck last out in the Hill Prince here, ran a terrific race in finishing second. Ridden by Jerry Bailey, he set the pace to deep stretch and held a two-length lead with a furlong to go, but couldn’t hold off Sharp Performance while finishing 41/4 lengths clear of longshot Whitmore’s Conn in third.
Sharp Performance paid $7.60 as the second choice, keying a $35 exacta. Strategic Partner, favored by $3 over Sharp Performance in the win pool, took a bad step in the stretch and finished sixth.

Assume that Schwartz is fired: Blow up and rebuild or just refurbish?
This is the 2013 NFL.. you don't take 5 years to turnover a roster. Something I have said for years is there are two glaring differences between international futbol and football, football relies very heavy on the coaches DURING the game. It is very obvious that coaching is the problem with this team right now, in the past it was players and coach but right now we have better players but the coach's are not putting them in the right situations.
I think the reason people are doubting if this kicks are real or not is his style of kick will look odd to the people that do not watch the game of "soccer".. But as a father that has two sons that play travel soccer.. I also coach soccer. Yes I can totally see him kicking the ball well like that. Look at the goalies in the professional level, goalies even drop kick very well as well. All of these styles of kicks are what we teach kids at a basic level.. Instep of foot.. That one clip were he uses opposite foot across his body to kick ball, that is also possible. I have seen that done many times. Juggling a football.. yes that is possible as well. Bottom line.. he is striking the ball in the right spot..
What was Suh really suppose to say? How many interviews have we all heard from athletes? They never give the juicy gossip to the story. Swartz has a team rule that all in house stays in house. It is the media that create this more of a story, it was not Suh himself. Did he call all networks and say talk about "me"? No... Valenti has a history of being a jerk.. They could have talked more about his return, was he really going to talk about the accident? I dont think so.. so why push it..
Lions interested in Terrelle Pryor. Are you?
This is the problm here with sports in the US... I know he isnt getting the 10 million dollar contract, but really? Giving kids million's of dollars because they have potential, shouldnt they have to earn and show they are worth the money first? I am sick of hearing in press conferences "he is developing" or "he needs to adjust to the game" for that kind of money they better be able to step in and perform. Maybe this is a signal to our youth programs more than anything, not preparing kids better.
The reporter was doing there job like he should be doing his job. Having reporters ask him questions is part of his job. And if they do not give access to the media, because the NFL likes the media, the club gets fined. Go Raiola neeps to grow up and be a man. Or just get out of town !!!
Giants - Viking game postponed. Where to play it?
I have not seen anyone else say it so I will.. lol Another NFL move to show its love affair to Brett Farve, reports I heard were he would have missed sundays game. Why wasnt this game in Indy yesterday? lol Outdoor gearm ya right.. they could get it chartered in anywere.
Cutler is running away, Suh is chasing him. It would not take much at all to push in the back to make him fall.
Did anyone see that hit on Pittsburgh Heath Miller in the Sunday Night game? How was Suh a penalty and the Miller penalty not? The NFL is turning into a joke... There was a couple of bad hits in the Pittsburgh game last night and no calls. Were is the consistancy? And then Harrison fined for every hit he makes.
Stafford shoulder is blown out, he may be back. Hill breaks finger out for season. They need to just IR Stafford get him 100 percent healthy. Wow JT O'Sullivan and Josh McCown, nothing like going back to retreads. Who is next Charles Rogers?
11/25/10. Thanksgiving Day. Partiots @ Lions. CBS, 12:35pm. Week 12.
Except them few drives with all the penalties I thought the Lions were playing good. The big thing that hurts us is no running game. Yes Rayner missed that 46.. other than that one kick he did really good. I would not mind seeing him start being phazed in the kicking game even when Jason is healthy. We need to make sure this part of the game is not forgotten.
Why give up on Schwartz? The players are the ones making mistakes, a coach can tell them over and over what theyare doing wrong. They can not just cut a player, if they do they have to play the salary cap game. Some of them you may be stuck with. I hate to say it but we have to weather out the storm... I know it is a big storm. You cant replace a player midseason that easy. Most good players are not cut so what options do you have to pick up? In the end if comes down to Free Agents and draft picks.
I am a life long Lions fan, and actually if I do want a NFL game that is only team I will watch. Now maybe I was spoiled by Barry Sanders and his class act. As for this fight "I am mostly talking about all the players standing there jumping up and down like college kids at a game in the stands. Come on already... Yes I agree some of them diving players are bad. Yes I have watched enough soccer games to know about the diving, some do it because of stingers and some do it for a quick breather. This is not a particular occurrence, you see this show boating or something like it ever game.
This is whay the NFL is a joke !!! Stop jumping up and down as if "who's the man"... Stop with the show boating... Stop with the chest pumping for making a tackle... Stop with all the jestures... you are getting paid millions to do your job now just do it. I would watch a soccer game any time before a NFL game.

Learn about these tiny organisms with a mammoth role in aquatic ecosystems.
Learn why algae may be the most under-appreciated organisms on earth.They are a group that includes huge, multicellular organisms like sea kelp and microscopic, unicellular diatoms. We tend to hear about them when they overpopulate in sometimes-toxic blooms, or when they make recreational water "mucky." But algae are useful as indicators of ecosystem health and underpin many aquatic food chains. Humans use them in everything from fuel to fertilizer. Dr. Rex Lowe will share his extensive knowledge of and passion for these remarkable organisms.
Rex Lowe is a Professor Emeritus of Biology at Bowling Green State University and legendary Biological Station instructor. He will be co-teaching Algae in Freshwater Ecosystems at the Station this summer. His current research interests include algal diversity in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and on the South Island of New Zealand.

Yahweh instructed Moses to make two bugles of hammered silver for calling the congregation together and giving marching orders to the camps. They were to call the whole community to the Tent of Meeting.
Yahweh gave Moses instructions for using the bugle. He said a single, short blast was to call the leaders to assemble. A long blast was the signal to march. At the first blast the tribes who were camped on the east were to set out. At the second blast the camps on the south were to set out. The long blasts were the signals to march. The bugle call that gathered the assembly was different from the signal to march.
The sons of Aaron, the priests, were in charge of blowing the bugles; it was to be their perpetual assigned duty.
Yahweh also instructed Moses that at times of celebration, at the appointed feasts and New Moon festivals, the priests were to blow the bugles over their Whole-Burnt-Offerings and Peace-Offerings to draw attention to him. Then he reminded Moses again that he is the great I AM, Yahweh, reality behind all reality and that he was their God.
A little over a month after Israel had celebrated their second year Passover the Cloud lifted from over the tabernacle and the nation of Israel set out from the Wilderness of Sinai. David Guzik of Enduring Word Commentary imagines that a huge sense of excitement flowed through the people. Up to the time of this departure their journey had been from Egypt and slavery. When they left the Wilderness of Sinai they were to travel to Canaan and liberty as an organized and prepared nation. They begin their march at the command of Yahweh through Moses and they marched until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.
The flag of the tribe of Judah led the way, according to the plan, under the command of Nanshan son of Amminadab. The tribes of Issachar and Zebulun followed led by Nethanel son of Zuar. Eliab son of Helon commanded the forces of the tribe of Zebulun. As soon as The Dwelling was taken down, the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, carrying The Dwelling. The narrator mentioned the names of the leaders of each contingent of the tribes. The flags of Rueben, Simeon, and Gad followed. Then the Kohathites left, carrying the holy things and by the time they arrived The Dwelling would be set up.
The flag of the tribe of Ephraim moved out next, then Manasseh and Benjamin. Finally, under the flag of the tribe of Dan, the rear guard of all the camps marched out along with the tribe of Asher and Naphtali.
Many years ago I went through Basic Training. One of the things that taught us to work together as a unit was our daily march. We learned self-discipline by stepping in time together. There was satisfaction in coming together within a company, working hard in conjunction with and alongside a troop. The shared experience of the march builds relationships. When people march together they have to sacrifice walking to their own drummer so they can walk with the unit. A person has to learn to rely on the others they are marching with not to leave the designed path. A person has to respect the rights of and trust those he or she is marching with. Above all else the marcher has to obey the orders of the leader without question. The regiment of the march would teach the nation of Israel to live in community.
Living in Community helps people meet their basic needs but requires purpose, practice, power, and proficiency. People who are committed to living together in community rise to the challenges of individual personalities, abilities, and talents.
Life in this fallen world is hard. Preparation and change are hard. It’s easy to get discouraged and feel overwhelmed. It’s easy to be self-absorbed. Yahweh designed us to live with others in a community of love. This love isn’t about liking people. It isn’t about romantic affection. It’s something more than cultural niceness. It’s deeper than being respectful or mannerly.
Prayer: Lord, please help me to start each day by dealing with justice. You commanded that your people rescue victims from their exploiters, and attend to matters of fairness. You told us to set things right between people and rescue victims from their exploiters. You commanded that we not take advantage of the homeless, the orphans, or the widows. You demanded that we humans stop the murdering because you want justice—oceans of it. You want fairness—rivers of it. You said that’s what you want; all you want. I pray that my love will flourish and that I will not only love much but well. Teach me to love appropriately. I know that I must use my head and test my feelings so that my love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. I want to live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life you will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Yeshua ha Mashiach attractive to all, getting everyone involved in your glory and praise.
What do Yahweh’s instructions for the silver bugles tell you about your God’s character?
What was the most important use of the bugle?
Why is the order in which Israel marched important?
Why do you think the narrator mentioned the date of Israel’s march from the Wilderness of Sinai?
Why do you think it is important to learn to live in community?
7 What do you see as the most important thing about living in harmony with the people around you?

Omega. I bought her from Stuffed Ark, which won't sell to non-Americans, so I had to get a friend to help me buy her. Omega themselves don't seem to have an online catalogue.
Aww, you found one! Hooray!
Yep. From the place you suggested, I was able to get an American plushophile to help me out. Thanks, plushlover!

"Fracture of nanostructured Sn/C anodes during Li-insertion" by Katerina E. Aifantis, Meghan Hancock et al.
Printers; Three dimensional displays; Open source hardware; Fabrication; Scientific instruments; Manufacturing processes Sn/C nanocomposites, in the form of Sn or SnO2 islands attached on carbon surfaces, provide a high initial capacity when used as anodes in rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Upon Li-insertion, however, the Sn undergoes significant volume changes which result in fracture and, hence, a fade in capacity. In the present study a detailed electron microscopy analysis was used for the first time to document the fracture that occurred throughout the Li-insertion and de-insertion process. Particularly, scanning and transmission (SEM&TEM) electron microscopy was performed on four different Sn/C nanocomposites, before and after, electrochemical cycling. Analysis of the Sn particle size distribution showed that the greatest amount of fracture occurred during the first cycle. It was concluded that both the particle volume average and the area fraction of the as prepared Sn or SnO2 islands must be kept at low values in order to minimize fracture and, therefore, retain a stable capacity. A simple empirical expression was, hence, presented to relate the capacity with the initial microstructure.

Our volunteers have created a giant bee on the embankment of cycle and walking route 68 to highlight the path’s importance for wildlife.
Volunteers worked with artist Bruce Parker over three workdays to design and build the mosaic-style bee, which overlooks the busy A69. It is six metres tall with a wingspan of around eight metres and is made from the local whinstone rock characteristic of Hadrian’s wall, dolomite and white stone.
We own and manage the three-mile route from Haltwhistle to Rowfoot, which is on the long distance Pennine Cycle route 68 and part of the National Cycle Network. The traffic-free path is managed for wildlife, including adders, as well as a rich array of wildflowers, birds, butterflies and bees.

What on earth is going on inside the Labor Party? The Emma Husar saga is a very sad story. For everyone involved.
A hero wins them a tough seat but when it all gets a bit rough she’s treated not like a criminal, but worse. Criminals go through a transparent process, get all the details of the allegations against them and get to cross-examine their accusers. Internally appointed inquiries aren’t as transparent because they are not courts of law. Husar is meant to be happy with redacted allegations and summary findings.
Staff lodged complaints about her in just over two years. The inquiry into 44 allegations of misconduct exonerated Husar of the most serious and salacious allegations and found others had merit.
Yet senior Labor people muttering statements like “I knew there had been a few complaints” just doesn't cut it. Feigned ignorance by senior Labor figures is just that ... feigned. Nobody knew anything but somehow an internal Labor inquiry was set up? Yeah, sure.
The idea that they didn’t know there was a problem is claptrap and poppycock. Remember they’re not, like you and I, reading after the fact, about a person we don’t know, in another part of the country.
The Labor leadership were there in Parliament House, where the staff complaints are fresh gossip. Whatever was going on was happening in one of Labor’s most marginal seats. Believe me, political parties keep a close eye on them.
Take yourself there, to the reality inside Parliament House. There are just 23 Labor senators and members from NSW. These guys could just about squash in around two big tables for 10 at a wedding. They’re together in the Canberra hot house and at Labor and electorate functions. And they know when one of their own is in deep doo-doo. Friends will be worried, enemies will squelch around in schadenfreude. And they’ll chatter.
Their staff are in the same hot house. They talk to each other ... in the corridors, at the cafe. And they keep their boss up to date on whatever they hear. Remember, the staff chatting about this aren’t just voyeurs on an unfolding horror story. They have the motivation that only those who have ever felt aggrieved can understand.
With all of that swirling around Parliament House, Labor left an apparently struggling member without adequate support. The leadership turned a blind eye to staff complaints. What were they thinking? Problems like these don’t just drift away. For the member or the staff.
Husar maintains that this is a vicious smear campaign. Without the facts we can’t say if she is a complete shocker, if she’s been set up, or something in between. Is she getting off lightly or getting what she richly deserves? Has she been unfairly hounded out? The failure of the Labor team to face the problem and deal with it transparently and early has left a permanent cloud over Husar. Numbers of staff remain unhappy. The Labor leadership has failed both her and the staff.
Labor is hoping that her announcement that she will not recontest the seat means this will all blow away. It won’t. If staff have been mistreated that has to be dealt with. Ditto use of entitlements.
At the tail end of this is an interesting look at hypocrisy and double standards. Labor leader Bill Shorten will obviously come under scrutiny over the issue. He asked her to consider standing for Lindsay and it’s gone pear shaped. It’s all very well to speak supportively in sotto voce tones now. Why wasn’t support put around Husar in the first place?
And what about aggrieved staff? There’s no rule that says you just have to cop it because your boss is finding it tough. Shorten appears to want to be soft on Husar. But he has to defend workers if they’ve been hard done by, surely? This saga has laid bare a fundamental weakness: he just wants to walk away from difficult situations.
Equally we should all consider what treatment this would be given if it was, say, Michaelia Cash we were talking about. What if a younger Tony Abbott was accused of employing a nanny on his electorate staff? Does anyone really think that your party affiliation and journalists' personal opinions should have a dramatic effect on the coverage and cartoons that come your way? A better question might be, does anyone seriously think it doesn’t?
And then there’s the much broader gender issue. What if instead of single mum we were talking about a young, possibly overconfident, ambitious type-A male? Husar has been given appalling treatment by Labor. But I also think that many have gone much softer on her in the media because she’s a single mum.
Perhaps people are apprehensive about being accused of picking on a single mum. Cartoonists haven’t sharpened their pencils and that’s a good litmus rest.

If this semester had a theme, it would most certainly be potluck. I’ve attended more potlucks in the last several weeks than in all college. I’ve toiled in the kitchen making dishes of massive proportions to feed my many different friends who for one reason or another decided independently that hosting a potluck would be a great idea. And great they have been.
It started with a potluck to celebrate Chinese New Year. The menu was set to be filled with many delicious Chinese dishes but instead consisted largely of guacamole. We are, after all, college students with limited cooking ability. Still, the year of the snake was kicked off right with many mouthfuls of guac. The other potlucks followed in similar fashion. I attended one that was hosted by a Canadian friend of mine where, in addition to goodies to eat, attendees were expected to bring along a piece of literature to share with the rest of the crowd. My friend Darlene from UCSB hosted a Mexican food potluck for which I made (what felt like) a bathtub-sized amount of horchata. Even my puppeteering class held a potluck on our last day, which, by the way, was one of the more fabulous potlucks I’ve attended. French students live up to their country’s stereotype. We had pork products and different types of cheeses abound, several bottles of wine, and of course baguettes.
Potlucks are a funny thing. Very often you end up with lots of food left over in bizarre combinations or too many people make dessert and you are have to eat sweet bread for dinner. For one potluck I went to, another attendee and I brought the only salads, both of which happened to feature beets and goat cheese, so guests had little choice when it came to grabbing a side for their pasta. But despite all the weird, mismatched food you are bound to encounter at a potluck, they are always very fun. And the best part of them – only having to make one thing in a large quantity as opposed to an entire meal for yourself – makes going to them very worth it.
I’m sure I’ll be heading off to a potluck pretty soon.

In his recent commentary (“The need for nuclear,” July 15), former Constellation executive Mike Wallace advocates for 20 or more new nuclear power plants in this country by 2040. While he admits that natural gas power is more economical, he did not mention that wind and solar energy are now cheaper and safer than nuclear power.
Natural gas would be cheaper yet if the proposed export terminal at Cove Point in Southern Maryland and other places were not permitted. Why should the groundwater of our country, polluted by excessive gas fracking, be sacrificed so that energy tycoons can get richer by exporting it? Exports make prices higher for consumers, according to the law of supply and demand.
Nuclear power and natural gas exporting are both bad deals for the public, but our Republican governor, Larry Hogan, has so far refused to order a safety study for the Cove Point gas export terminal, now under construction. If more citizens would call the governor and ask for a Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) at Cove Point, which may scuttle the project, perhaps natural gas prices can be kept low enough to discourage plans for costly and risky nuclear power.

Simon Bassey today hailed the contribution of four AFC Wimbledon promotion heroes ahead of tomorrow night’s scheduled match against Newport County.
Christian Jolley, Lee Minshull, Ryan Jackson and Ismail Yakubu are all now plying their trade with the South Wales outfit almost three years since they helped Wimbledon into the Football League.
Simon (pictured) said: “They all played a massive part in getting the club to where we are now. All of them are good lads, but that’s football and players move on. I’m sure they will get a warm reception from our fans, they certainly will from me. They all acquitted themselves well when they were at the club and they’re top lads.
Of course, Max Porter is another former Don currently at Newport County and he’s recently returned to the squad after a long-term injury.
Dons Player subscribers can watch the full video interview with Simon Bassey on our premium site, along with the thoughts of Darren Jones on meeting his old club.

After mysteriously disappearing for two years with her best friend, young Judith returns home alone violently maimed. Her inability to communicate with her voice soon makes her the pariah of the community and the victim of cruel gossip. Judith herself is unsure about the details of her disappearance, and she moves through life silently pining for the boy she loves. Rejected by those around her, Judith struggles to appease her domineering mother and avoid confrontation with her tormenters. When her village is threatened by the return of a former enemy, Judith must recall painful memories and enlist the help of an unlikely ally. As one danger is averted, another soon takes its place. Judith finds herself stalked by a mysterious adversary. With the help of an unlikely friend, Judith must find her voice and reveal the truth of her disappearance and maiming before it’s too late to save her own life.
This is an incredibly powerful narrative told through the perspective of the mute girl, Judith. Although the choppy writing style is at first difficult to follow, it eventually develops a sort of natural cadence that really draws the reader in. The reader is at first given a narrow glimpse of Judith’s life and experiences, and then this glimpse is broadened to reveal the truth about her horrific maiming.
Admittedly the truth about Judith’s experiences is surprising, and Berry does an excellent job revealing the true nature and motives of various characters. The reader really gets the impression that people are not often what they portray themselves to be.
The abuse that Judith receives after her return to the village is greatly disheartening, but the resilience that Judith displays is inspiring. Teen readers may relate to Judith’s experiences to some extent, and her ultimate triumph leaves the reader with a sense of hope for the future.
Reader’s Annotation: After a terrible maiming, Judith is left mute and afraid. To save herself and the boy she loves, she will be forced to confront painful truths and find her voice.
After having four children with her husband, Phil, the author states: “I went back to school and earned an M.F.A. in writing for children and young adults from Vermont College of the Fine Arts, where I learned from many talented and committed writers for young people. The Amaranth Enchantment was the second novel I wrote in school, and the first one to sell to a publisher. Since then I’ve written Secondhand Charm, All the Truth That’s In Me, and the Splurch Academy for Disruptive Boys series with my older sister, Sally Faye Gardner, as the illustrator. All the Truth That’s In Me, my first YA novel, is my most recent release. It’s a 2013 Horn Book Fanfare title, a School Library Journal Best of 2013 book, and a Kirkus Best Teen Read for 2013. It has been named a Junior Library Guild Selection and has been nominated for a Carnegie Medal and a YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults award, and will be published in 12 countries internationally.
Have listeners attempt to talk without the use of their tongue, and then relate it to Judith’s situation.
Describe Lucas through Judith’s eyes.
Justification of Selection: Aside from being an assigned reading, this book has a strong female protagonist who demonstrates an inspiring resilience and perseverance through adversity.

During the second half of the last century, many countries gradually replaced their so-called classical corporate tax regimes, under which corporate earnings were taxed twice -- once in the hands of the corporation, and again when distributed to corporate shareholders as dividends -- with an integrated regime (imputation), which taxed such earnings only once. The driving force behind this trend was the expectation of significant efficiency gains. This clear and gradual trend has been abruptly reversed with the turn of the century. The phenomenon we call globalization, and in particular the proliferation of cross-border business and investment, has materially contributed to this dramatic sea change in the corporate tax world. The conventional wisdom was that imputation is unsustainable in a world whose markets integrate. This article argues that the abandonment of imputation is partly a consequence of our essentially non-cooperative world in terms of tax policy coordination. It concludes that imputation does not have to be the victim of globalization -- it can be retained to the benefit of many countries, but only through enhanced international cooperation and coordination of tax policies.

PARIS (Reuters) - The euro zone needs to agree on the details of a backstop for its planned bank resolution fund by the end of the year, European Central Bank policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau said on Tuesday.
European Union leaders agreed at the end of June to allow the ESM bailout fund to lend in an emergency to the existing bank resolution fund if it runs out of cash in a crisis. They left it to finance ministers to settle the details by December.
“It is now urgent to deliver on it (the June agreement) by the end of this year,” Villeroy, who is also governor of the French central bank, told a financial regulation conference in Paris.
“Two key issues remain: how to fund the backstop at a sufficiently high level to be credible, and how to create a swift decision-making process to deal with emergencies. If we need weeks to activate the backstop, then the backstop is useless,” he said.
The EU’s bank-financed rescue fund for failing lenders was set up as part of a banking union plan during the financial crisis, but it still lacks enough cash to cope with a large banking crisis, meaning it would require a safety net.
The backstop issue, along with a common insurance scheme for European depositors, have long blocked the completion of the euro zone’s banking union with a single supervisory body.
Villeroy said that making the resolution fund fully operational should be a priority, which would in turn open the way for a “pragmatic compromise” on deposit insurance.

We no longer get bombarded by hysterical nonsense on the subject from the media quite as much as a while ago. The public at large seems to have rumbled that the scientists whose grant money depends on scary stories about iminent disaster are not to be trusted, and global warming has slipped way down the ratings of issues that the public now worry about. In the USA, the public does not seem to be too concerned that The Donald is planning to stop spending public money on the issue. I suspect that a number of other countries might well be quietly sizing up the prospect of following suit, as the voters’ attention is more focussed on economic health than bogus warnings of being fried to a crisp or being swamped by sudden rises in sea levels.
Hence the motive for keeping a personal eye on the weather.
This little chap tells me the temperature and the humidy, both inside and out, the wind speed, the wind direction, and how much rain has fallen in the last hour. It even keeps a history, and has an alarm system.
So far, there has been nothing to get too alarmed about. And anyway, I can always look out of the window.
“A modest rise in the last year or so.” it’s a start.
As Keynes said, “If the facts change…” But so far, the recent rise is just something to keep an eye on. A country mile short of what the alarmists’ models have forecast. I think it is all to do with their assumption about feedback: is it positive or negative? It still looks to me like negative, but time will tell.

MADISON, Wis.—Prosecutors in Wisconsin say they can’t touch relatives who help criminals escape from the law or hide evidence.
A hearing at the state Capitol Thursday addresses the exemption for family members who help relatives cover up a crime. Prosecutors in states with accessory-after-the-crime laws can charge someone who helps cover up a crime as a party to the original offense.
Experts say Wisconsin’s current ‘harboring a felon’ law is among the most liberal in the country. Wisconsin exempts more family members and even allows them to plant false evidence without fear of prosecution.
The chairman of the Assembly’s Criminal Justice and Corrections Committee, Republican Rep. Gary Bies, tells the Journal Sentinel ( http://bit.ly/jfSHjF) that law enforcement needs help with the issue.

If you are like me, you are always wanting to find a way to make money online doing what we do best, but it’s not easy and really, few people are making a go of it. Online behaviors (adblocking, incognito browsing, no tracking apps, etc.) are also changing quickly which makes “old” ways of doing things, virtually obsolete.
I would love to earn a living online through my creative writing, and one day, I might…I don’t require a lot of money to live. But, I am not the customer, work-from-home advertisers are looking for. You see, I love to fact check, and nothing is worse than a fact checker for these types of opportunities. My advice, if you are wanting to work from home, is to become a fact checker.
Now, there are all kinds of passive streams of income that can be earned online, and all of them very legitimately. One of the most popular are affiliate links. When people click on your affiliate link, you can earn a commission when they buy something from that site. Unless of course, your visitor uses apps (like I do) to block affiliate ads and links. Yes, I am a horrible person for denying someone a commission just because I may have visited their site two weeks earlier.
Almost all online money making opportunities rely on getting people to your website. Whether it is a complete website, web page, or company-provided landing page, you need traffic to your ad. This is the point of this piece and also a prime way to scam people into buying things.
One of the most popular things to sell is what I like to call “How I —.” Now, these sites offer products, usually an ebook and online “course”, that will share with you the “secrets” to making money in your sleep by driving traffic to your site. Some of the price tags for these secrets reach into the thousands of dollars.
The setup for these sites are usually quite similar. They will show you a screenshot of all the money they earned in x amount of days from all their websites (you are always recommended to have more than one), then they will tell you that they are in the top few pages of Google, and how this (extra) ebook can help get your site into the top results, and they will sweeten the deal by telling you all about one of their own websites that uses the system they are trying to sell you.
Like any sales pitch, they are telling you want you want to hear – it’s easy, any one can do it, people are earning money, and they will show you how to do it too.
This is why you need to be a fact-checker. Many of the claims they make are emotional or subjective – what is easy to one, may not be easy to all. These claims are also very hard to prove or disprove. However, there is one claim almost all of these programs use that is easily proved or disproved – the ranking and performance of their example website.
This is the Internet Age after all and there are websites that only track other websites.
Now, I am not going to mention the site by name or the “drive traffic to your site and make money in your sleep” article because I do not wish to further their venture. However, the ad for their $99 program states that their example website: reaches over one million people a month, is on the front page of Google search results, and makes thousands of dollars per month (as proven through screen shots of pending payments).
A good fact-checker will see that two of these can be checked on Alexa, which is a free website dedicated to website traffic analysis and statistics. I must admit that the data are estimated, but there are several stats that, even in rough estimate, can help determine if a claim is true of false.
Claim one: It reaches over one million people a month.
Fact: The website peaked at 600,000 then fell to below 50,000 two months later.
Claim two: It is on the front page of Google search results.
Fact: Current global ranking 560,000+. Google accounts for 56% of incoming traffic; however, the website is (as was recommended in the original pitch) highly targeted to a popular topic. A quick search of that topic revealed that the website in question is NOT on the first page of search results.
This post is not about whether this person pushed the truth when they wrote their sales pitch. It is about the fact-checking that is advised with all these programs. If you use Alexa to do a brief search into the pitch, there are three pieces of data that are important to look at: Bounce rate, daily page views per visitor, and time spent on site. There is also a fourth bit of information that I will discuss in a moment, but first back to the top three.
Bounce rate is the amount of people who go to the page advertised then leave your site without going to other pages. In the example I am using, their bounce rate is 79%. That means 79% of visitors are not finding what they were looking for. This is supported by the number of page views (1.50) and time spent on the site (2:01 mins).
So, looking at these numbers, it means that the majority of visitors to the site, land on the page, look at it, then leave. If you are familiar with old methods to “drive traffic to your site,” this may look familiar, and you’d be right. This site is using a traffic generator to boost numbers.
I mentioned a fourth bit of information to look for when fact-checking – the “sites linking in” information. One thing about search engines, is they keep track of incoming and outgoing links to create the giant web we like to surf down. This site in question has as of today, sixteen incoming links. The sales pitch I found that started all this, and fifteen traffic/list sites.
So, what does all this mean? For $99 you learn how to create a website (or get one through joining an affiliate program under them), list that site on surfing (traffic exchange) sites, and watch the money roll if (for them, not for you). Although, if you want to sell the $99 program too, there is an affiliate opportunity there as well.
No matter what opportunity you are wanting to do…become a fact-checker and try to verify all their claims before turning over money, time, or effort, to make money in your sleep.
By the way, l am running a new game currently in Pilot Mode called Once Upon A Blog Crime, as a fact checker perhaps you might like to pop over and see what you can cobble up?
Ever thought of working from home? been tempted to do so?
Check your facts first is always good advice, but for seriously sound fact checking advice have a gander at this post.
Thank you 🙂 I don’t know how people believe what they do without checking things further.
“I don’t know how people believe what they do without checking things further.” The fact that Donald Trump is president should answer your question.

WHO IS MAN ANYWAY? Most scientists believe we evolved from apes and live in a gigantic universe of billions of galaxies; man could be insignificant. Most Christians, on the other hand, believe that God specially created the human race from Adam and Eve; we are very important in the scheme of things. Yet we are evil and need to be redeemed by a Saviour, Jesus Christ.
This book takes a new look at our universe, in light of modern discoveries and age old problems, and answers intriguing questions. The author was a member of the technical staff at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, and he has studied science all his life. Yet he was converted to Christianity in 1974 after an intense personal search for truth.
This book will give you new insights and surprises as it discusses: Biblical truths and fallacies, the dimensions and contents of the universe, the Big Bang, the great religious leaders of history, the deity of Jesus, the angels, the fall of Satan, the origins of life on Earth (evolution), the probability of life existing elsewhere in the universe, the solution to man's existence, and more!
Chapter 1. The Bible is the greatest book ever written. It contains the writings of great men of God who were largely inspired by Him. However, like any other document, it is not absolutely perfect, and in some places it is badly flawed. The Bible can be used as evidence to help us understand reality, but reality cannot be defined by the Bible. Observation and experimentation in addition to divine revelation are the keys man uses to unlock the secrets of the universe.
Chapter 2. The dimensions of the physical universe are staggering indeed. Our Galaxy alone, the Milky Way, is composed of a hundred billion stars; the sun is only one of them. We know that the universe consists of at least 100 billion other diverse galaxies. The universe is between 10 to 20 billion years old, and our solar system is 5 billion years old. The diameter of the Milky Way is 100,000 light-years, that of the known universe is billions of light-years. These scientific facts are questioned by few men.
Chapter 3. The spiritual universe must be interpreted in light of our knowledge of the physical universe. The evidence clearly shows Jesus to be exactly who He claimed to be: the only Son of God and as such God incarnate. God always existed and is the supreme being and creator. God created the universe, but it is perverted and contains evil. This can only be explained satisfactorily by understanding the nature of the created spiritual universe. The angels are far more numerous, old, and powerful than we ever imagined. They were created before any of the physical universe, and Satan's fall was truly profound. It affected the entire universe at a very deep and fundamental level.
Chapter 4. The creation story found in Genesis is, for the most part, not correct. Rather, the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and life began in the seas billions of years ago with very primitive forms. These forms slowly evolved into the wide variety of plants and animals we see today. Many, many animals evolved, lived and then became extinct. Man evolved over the last few million years from tree dwelling apes who began to live on the ground. Man's intelligence has allowed him to dominate the Earth.
Chapter 5. In light of all the evidence considered so far, we are now in a better position to understand man's true spiritual identity in the universe. Man is not the center and highest work of all God's creation. Besides the glorious angelic beings, intelligent life other than mankind most likely has developed or will develop somewhere in the vastness of the universe over the eons of time. Mankind is part of a great universe caught in the middle of a titanic spiritual conflict between God and Satan, good and evil. Since the conflict is so fundamental, we are to a large degree basically perverted, in darkness, and under Satan's control beyond our ability to understand. Despite this, God has provided a way for us to be right with Him and inherit eternal life. He came in the form of the man Jesus Christ nearly 2,000 years ago. Jesus died upon the cross as payment for our sins. True belief in Jesus involves repentance from sin and brings the personal presence and power of God into a human being's life. It also brings forgiveness, eternal life, and the solution to man's dilemma upon the Earth.

When we couple the rise in video streaming with the growing number of portable devices (smart phones, tablets, laptops) we see an ever-increasing demand for high-definition video online while on the move. Wireless networks are inherently characterised by restricted shared bandwidth and relatively high error loss rates, thus presenting a challenge for the efficient delivery of high quality video. Additionally, mobile devices can support/demand a range of video resolutions and qualities. This demand for mobile streaming highlights the need for adaptive video streaming schemes that can adjust to available bandwidth and heterogeneity, and can provide a graceful changes in video quality, all while respecting viewing satisfaction. In this context the use of well-known scalable/layered media streaming techniques, commonly known as scalable video coding (SVC), is an attractive solution. SVC encodes a number of video quality levels within a single media stream. This has been shown to be an especially effective and efficient solution, but it fares badly in the presence of datagram losses. While multiple description coding (MDC) can reduce the effects of packet loss on scalable video delivery, the increased delivery cost is counter productive for constrained networks. This situation is accentuated in cases where only the lower quality level is required. In this paper, we assess these issues and propose a new approach called Streaming Classes (SC) through which we can define a key set of quality levels, each of which can be delivered in a self-contained manner. This facilitates efficient delivery, yielding reduced transmission byte-cost for devices requiring lower quality, relative to MDC and ALD (42% and 76% respective reduction for layer 2), while also maintaining high levels of consistent quality. We also illustrate how selective packetisation technique can further reduce the effects of packet loss on viewable quality by leveraging the increase in the number of frames per group of pictures (GOP), while offering a means of reducing overall error correction and by providing equality of data in every packet transmitted per GOP.

So, I’m blasting the Italian opening for the first time and it’s actually killin it? Man, this show is so blessed, guhhhhh. Anyway, here are the last 5 endings on Andy’s channel, which wraps up my TL of his playthrough. The endings for Chocolove, Redseb, Horohoro, Ryu and Ren are all under the cut!
Thought I’d knock these out during the week, but then I’ll buzz off and get back to other projects. He has 10 endings on his page, so here are the endings for Yoh, Lyserg, Faust, Sati and Marco!
It’s cute that they let Yoh and the rest in on the Mountain Training sausagefest from the manga. Regardless of the circumstances in the manga, I thought it was interesting and a little sad that Yoh didn’t spend crazy amounts of time with his dad, since they both seem to have a mutual love/trust/respect for one another.
Also, this is it for the Funbari Spirits story translations I’ll be done. It doesn’t mean I won’t take the time to translate the Battle Mode endings here and there, but for now, I’m satisfied with the little break this gave me, and I hope it entertained you SK fans as well!
Yayyyy! This is the last bit of the proper story-story. There’s a long fight in the beginning, but the rest is straaaaaaaight dialogue. Enjoy!
This is actually more or less how I originally thought the manga was going to end, just with more exposition to make it a bittersweet deal. Part 15 of Andy’s LP is actually just the credits (which are still a great watch), but I’ll be skipping over them because-because-because.
I know I’ve said this before, but I really do like how the writer fused elements from the anime and the manga into this storyline. I think that makes for a very unique and great adaptation for fans of either!

This classic open-air cinema is in a lovely spot in the quieter reaches of Kolonaki, adjacent to a very good all-day cafe and the ancient cistern of Hadrian's aqueduct. Settle in for the film in a deck chair, with a little table to rest your beer on. A wall of cascading bougainvilleas rounds out the view.

The 40th annual Print Sale is a chance to see student creativity and talent in display.
UC Santa Cruz’s hard-working undergraduates deserve recognition for their vision and determination, whether they’re cobbling robots together, studying planets and ecosystems, setting up high-tech interactive exhibits or staging plays.
Student Achievement Week from June 2-6 recognizes students for their research and scholarly activities. Much of the actual work takes place out of the limelight, in labs, in libraries, in studios, and out in the field, but this very special week gives students a chance to share their work in a public setting.
It’s also the time of year to honor outstanding achievement by undergraduate students in each division. This year’s Deans and Chancellor’s Awards recipients are a diverse and enterprising group, focusing on subjects ranging from Santa Cruz silent cinema to dental robotics and the computational design of a melanoma treatment drug.
Chancellor George Blumenthal will be on hand to acknowledge the recipients and their faculty mentors at a private luncheon. Meanwhile, the identity of the Steck Award winner – selected from the Chancellor’s Awards winners – will be revealed near the end of the ceremony.
Last year’s Steck honoree is Kristoffer Hellén, who traveled to Europe and Russia to find out how two groups—the Estonians and the Maris—preserved their heritage in spite of, and in some sense, because of, living in places where cultures and religions clash and converge.
There will be plenty of other opportunities for well-wishers and community members to celebrate high achievement on campus. In fact, so much is happening that you would do well to consult your handy campus map as you make your way from venue to venue.
One early highlight is the Sesnon Gallery’s annual Irwin Scholarship Award exhibition from May 22 through June 14, showcasing some of UCSC’s most promising student artists working in painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, installation, video, digital media, and social practice.
Open Studios, featuring student artwork in a variety of media including drawing, painting, print media, sculpture, photography, and electronic art, will be held Friday, June 6, from noon to 4 p.m., at the Baskin Visual Arts Center and Digital Arts Research Center (DARC). Open Studios runs in conjunction with the Digital Arts & New Media (DANM) Open Studios.
Expect large and enthusiastic crowds for another Student Achievement Week favorite: the UCSC Print Sale, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, and takes place Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The sale will be held at the Printmaking Studio, Room G-101, at the Baskin Visual Arts Center. Items for sale will include original etchings, lithographs, woodcuts, digital prints, handmade books, and everything from “soft sculptures” to pennants, banners, postcards, and journals.
Profits benefit the student artists and the UCSC Printmaking Program. The event is also a chance to meet the artists and tour the printmaking facility.
One highlight of Student Achievement Week requires a visit to downtown Santa Cruz, but is well worth the side trip. The eighth-annual Social Documentation Graduate Exhibition, an evening of documentary films from student of the Film and Digital Media's Social Documentation program, will be held Wednesday, June 11, at 6 p.m. at the Del Mar Theatre, 1124 Pacific Ave, Santa Cruz.
Those who are craving a taste of Shakespeare should not miss Shakespeare To Go: "Hamlet" on Friday, June 6, at 11 a.m., at the Second Stage in the Theater Arts Center on campus. This year, a company of UCSC students will distill the tragic play into a fast-paced, inventive one-hour version in the group's final performance of the season. The event is free and open to the public.
Another highly anticipated event, shining a spotlight on outstanding undergraduate research, is the 17th Annual Undergraduate Research Poster Symposium, set for Thursday, June 5, from 2 to 4 p.m., in the Jack Baskin Engineering Courtyard. The event recognizes and promotes outstanding undergraduate research while allowing students to present their findings in a professional setting.

Catherine's writing reflects her life-long love of nature. She advocates for sustainability and respect for all living things.
The lovely white water lily,Nymphaea odorata, is a perennial aquatic plant which grows from a rhizome much the same way a spring flower grows from a bulb. The hardy water lily is native to North America. The thick glossy leaves which float on the water's surface can measure nearly a foot across, each with a slit that gives them a heart-shape appearance. The leaves form at the ends of thick, ropy stalks as do the individual flower buds. When fully bloomed, the blossoms are pure white perfection with golden stamens. They open each morning with the sun, attracting dragonflies, damselflies, and whirligig beetles which help to pollinate them. By late afternoon, the flowers will close up for a night of rest.
The blue water lily Nymphaea Caerulea was referred to as the "Blue Lotus" in ancient Egypt and has much symbolism in mythology.
In Egyptian mythology, the blue water lily, erroneously called "Blue Lotus" is the symbol for Upper Egypt while the papyrus bloom, Cyperus papyrus, represents Lower Egypt. Intertwined, they represent Egyptian unification. The beautiful blue lily, Nymphae caerulea, is associated with the god Nefertum who is believed to have risen from the primordial waters of chaos within its perfumed bloom. The opening of its flower at dawn and its disappearance at dusk makes it a symbol of both the sun god, Ra and rebirth. Nefertum is depicted in Egyptian art with the lotus on his head. The lotus motif is often seen in murals, in architecture, and among items in the tombs of royalty. The lotus, Nelumbo nucifera, although related to the water lily, is a different species native to Asia and was introduced to the region by the Romans. Both the "Blue Lotus" and the "White Lotus" which blooms by moonlight, are water lilies native to Egypt. These varieties have larger leaves than those from North American, many reaching 20" across. The actual lotus bears blooms which stand quite tall, and, unlike the water lily, keeps all seed parts above water until the floating seed pod becomes woody. Similar in its bloom cycle, the lotus holds important symbolism for both the Buddhists and the Hindus. The opening of the flower bud signifies enlightenment, the perfect bloom represents purity, and the cycle of bloom is symbolic of resurrection and rebirth.
Frogs and water turtles find protection from predators among the masses of pads and stems, and are sometimes found basking atop the leaves. If one looks carefully, he may spot the patterned flanks of koi or the quick movement of a water snake in search of food.
Besides providing a beautiful display and shelter, lily pads block sunlight from the pond depths preventing algae bloom. This naturally protects fish from a lack of oxygen. Leaves also serve to convert the ammonia from fish waste into beneficial nutrients for the plants. In the fall as the leaves decompose, the detritus that results from the organic breakdown becomes a significant food source for aquatic invertebrates. This, in turn, provides sustenance for the amphibians, fish, waterfowl, and small mammals higher up in the food chain.
Water lilies which are at the peak of display during the summer months begin to yellow and decline in September and October as they prepare for dormancy. The rhizomes will store energy over the winter months for renewed growth in spring when the pond surfaces begin to warm again. Invasive by nature, water lilies are best submerged within solid containers to prevent spreading. It's always a good idea to check the invasive plant list for the state in which you live and take note of any warnings or restrictions.
On pads of glossy green.
Emerges a bloom of the purest white.
Which her glowing beauty reflects.
Thank you, Manatita- your thoughtful comments are much appreciated!
Informative article and gifted poem, cat. Excellent and exquisite!
Hello Pawpawwrites. I appreciate your thoughtful comments.
Water lilies are so perfect in bloom that they look unreal! I think the colors are stunning and vibrant but still prefer the contrast of the pure white and the blush pink with the deep green pads. Thanks for stopping by!
I love them. I was at a botanical garden a few years ago, and they had some beautiful colored varieties.
A beautiful poem for a beautiful flower! Loved it!!
I appreciate your kind comments and find your sharing my poem to be a top compliment. Thank you!!
I especially like the poem. It's a testament to the fact that quantity is not necessarily quality. Thanks for this hub. I'm sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed the "short and sweet!" I agree that good writing is about content and not length. I dislike excess verbiage and worthless filler too. I thank you for you kind comments and the "thumb's up" on voting. I always enjoy seeing your visits here!
What a beautiful capture! Loved this poem. Voted up and beautiful.
Short and sweet, and I don't care WHAT "the Google" says...short CAN be worthwhile!
Audrey, Thank you for your encouraging comment. I appreciate your visits, always.
Sweet, serene and peaceful in it's beauty. Well done and voted up!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I agree with the symbolism of the lotus and see the water lily in the same light. Lilium longifolium, the white trumpet lily, is the flower we commonly associate w/ Easter although most flowers which herald the arrival of Spring are included in our celebrations.
I like the water lily as an Easter symbol, although I don't think it's traditional. It is a traditional Buddhist symbol . . . one kind of water lily, the lotus, represents Awakening arising from the mud of suffering and illusion.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving the kind comment. It's a pleasure to see you!
I'm delighted that you dropped by ! Yes, beauty can come from unexpected places and circumstances. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Best wishes for a happy Easter and a glorious Spring.
Just lovely and a fitting tribute to a blossom which proves the possibility of beauty emerging from the depths of murkiness!
Fits the moment, too, with Easter just having begun.
I couldn't agree more! I think most things in life involve contradiction of some form. I always enjoy your comments and wish you well. I hope you enjoy a beautiful Spring!
Thank you for the lovely comment, xstatic. I'm glad you dropped by.
Nice to see you here! Thank you for the sweet comment and the vote UP. I really appreciate it.
It certainly does reflect the beauty of the sun! Beautiful poem!
I Love "Water Lilies" Cat, and your Beautiful Poem captured them well.
Voted UP & Beautiful too!
Lovely, lovely poem. Do you live near a pond or some body of water that has water lilies? they have a certain fascination as they sit so serenely on the water.
Enjoyed your poem of tribute.
Thank you for such a lovely compliment! I hope all is well with you.
Pure and beautiful just like the Lily.
Thank you for your sweet comment. I appreciate your stopping by!
Water-lilies are so lovely - and so is your poem.

Welcome to my blog! This is a blog focusing on the basic tools and models from probability and statistics that are applicable in managment of financial risks. Problems and examples will be drawn from financial investments, various areas of actuarial science.
I was searching for some information about mixed distributions and came across to your blog. I went through your posts and those help me. But, my problem is a slightly I think so!Suppose that we have 5 random binary (0 and 1) X variables which are independently distributed. the probability of each variable is p1,p2,…,p5. Let Y denotes as the sum of those X variables then the problem is to find the expected value and variance of Y.
I was wondering if you help me.

The Local Boundaries Commission for England is asking local people and organisations to comment on its draft recommendations for new ward boundaries across Oxford.
They say: "We have an open mind about further suggestions from local people to change and improve these recommendations. We will consider all the submissions we receive whoever they are from and whether your evidence applies to the whole of Oxford or just a part of the city."
On their website, you can see its proposals for new ward boundaries. You can compare the proposals (in red) to the existing boundaries (in blue) and search across the whole of Oxford, even down to street level. You can also click on any ward to find out how many voters are included in it and how many councillors we propose should represent it.
Deadline: This stage of the consultation closes on 13 August 2018.

China has decided to impose temporary tariffs on 110 exported goods and cut tariffs on 58 imported goods beginning November 1, in a bid to curb its soaring trade surplus, the Ministry of Finance said Friday.
The export of various types of minerals -- such as apatite and rare earth minerals -- will carry a tariff of 10 percent. The export of energy products such as coal, charcoal and crude oil will carry a tariff of five percent.
A 15 percent tariff will be imposed on the export of copper, nickel and nine other metallurgical products.
Exporters of iron alloy, raw iron, steel billets and 27 other iron and steel products will have to pay a tariff of 10 percent.
Exports of wooden flooring, disposable chopsticks and 19 other goods will be imposed a 10 percent tariff.
China's trade surplus hit a new high of 109.85 billion U.S. dollars in the first three quarters of the year, amid concern over disputes with its major trade partners.
The government in September cancelled or lowered export tax rebates on hundreds of products.
Products now carrying lower import tariffs include plate making equipment, spare parts for textile machines, semiconductor modules, coal, oil, fertilizers and certain leather products.

The proposal for allowing fertiliser makers to bid for the coal blocks is being considered. "That is under consideration. Discussions are on," Swarup said.
NEW DELHI: The government is planning to auction up to 11 coal blocks in the fourth round of bidding which is likely to start in a fortnight.
"In another 15 days (the fourth phase of coal mines auction may start)," Coal Secretary Anil Swarup said on the sidelines of a conference here today.
"About 8 to 11 coal blocks would be auctioned. We have to take a call. There are issues in a few (blocks)," he said.
The proposal for allowing fertiliser makers to bid for the coal blocks is being considered. "That is under consideration. Discussions are on. I can't say what will happen," Swarup said.
The government is planning to auction blocks to the unregulated non-power sectors, including cement, steel and aluminium, as per sources.
In the third phase of auction held in August, the government had to be content with proceeds of just Rs 4,364 crore as legal and other issues forced it to put only three out of the proposed 10 mines on the block.

Lost Contact Auratoon Doodle - "Artists Beware"
Has anyone heard from Auratoon Doodle since Megaplex. He currently owes me a lenticular con badge commission that I paid for at the convention but have not heard from him since the convention. His Telegram does not seem to be working so I have no alternative ways to communicate with him or get in touch with him.
So if anyone knows how to get a hold of them let me know.
Are any of these accounts him?
Did you ever get your badge? I still have not recived mine.
I'm in the same boat from him. Got a badge at BLFC, if you get an update let me know!

You are going to have such a magical Thanksgiving at Walt Disney World! We had Thanksgiving dinner (with 8 family members and friends) in Cinderella Castle, and it's still one of my favorite Thanksgivings ever!
Regarding your stroller situation, if you have a double stroller which you really love, feel free to bring it. Depending on your travel plans, you might like having your own stroller to get the twins from a park entrance to a resort character meal, a bus stop or a ferry. (You can't bring a park-rented stroller out of the park.) If, however, you'd like to rent a double stroller while in WDW, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the convenience of doing so once in the park.
In each room you'll find one pack-n-play (unless you are in a Disney Vacation Club Grand Villa) but you can easily request both another pack-n-play or two full-size cribs upon check-in. Just let the Cast Member who is checking you in know what you'd like and he or she can arrange for these items to be brought to your room. No worries!
Have a wonderful trip! Please be sure to send more questions, too, as you plan your Thanksgiving visit to WDW! I'd love to help!

Good morning brothers and sisters in Christ. Leanna and I want to welcome each of you to this J and L Ministries room here on Paltalk and for those watching the videos on the various networks that have allowed us to share them. For all of those networks, a big thank you.
For over a month now we've been studying, and today we will conclude this series, "Having The Compassion Of Jesus." Though we could go a lot further with this in many different areas, I think we're supposed to move on to something else. Today as we finish this study with some of the things that we've already covered, we'll also be reminded of other scriptures dealing with us having the compassion that Jesus had and still does. Jesus is still very much alive! I said, Jesus is still very much alive. Halleluiah!!
First, let’s start with what compassion means, and do you have it? Also, what does it mean to you in your life? Have you felt that someone's being compassionate towards you lately? Do you feel compassionate towards others more than you want them to feel compassionate towards you? Why do you feel the way you do?
Let’s look at a verse we used at the beginning of this series. Please turn to Matthew 9:36.
Matthew 9:36 KJV But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
Jesus had the perfect righteous compassion. Let’s look at Matthew 20:34.
Matthew 20:34 KJV So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
Jesus was perfect in every way possible and free of carnal sin (the sin we're born with, dating back to Adam and Eve when they sinned mankind's first sin). The life of Jesus was not tainted with jealousy or immorality as yours and my lives are. Christ was righteously pure and full of positive faith because He was doing the perfect will of the Father who sent Him to save mankind. Thank You and praise You, Jesus!
Jesus being perfect had pure unselfish motives when He felt compassion toward others. Unlike the people of the world, Jesus Christ cared more for our lives than He did His own. (His precious sinless life was laid down for our sins at the cross of Calvary.) Glory to God!!
Jesus compassionately understood people’s feelings. Let’s turn to Matthew 14:14.
Jesus wanted to share the Father’s love, why? Compassion! Church, some of us are getting this. Praise the Lord!
Friends, hear me on this. Hear the Holy Spirit. We have to be willing to lay down our lives for others. "Brother Jim, you mean I have to be nailed to a cross as Jesus did?" No, unless that's what God calls to happen.
Friends, not one person should be left on the earth that doesn't have the chance to make the decision to know Jesus Christ as their Savior. Nothing in our lives should be more important than that quest. We're in a spiritual war for people's souls and we mustn't let up one minute or back down.
From time to time we may have to withdraw our forces to recoup and heal up our battle wounds and scars, but as soon as we're able to fight, we have to get right back into doing our righteous duty. Even from a hospital bed people have been led to Jesus, and by opening up your mouth, so can you! If we love our fellow mankind, then no matter how badly we get hurt and wounded we must not give up the fight. Satan will throw everything that he can at us, but we must not quit. If one door is closed, then we strive to walk through another door. We must not always assume that every door closed was Satan's doing but realize that the hand of God is with us leading the way. We just have to trust Him to be doing the right thing even when it seems like He's not. We have to trust and walk by spiritual eyesight and not worldly carnal eyesight.
There are times that we seem to get hit by every dart that's thrown. There may be times that everything you touch breaks. Anyone going through that right now? Then, just when you seem to get caught up with bills, another catastrophe happens. Then there are those who are dealing with health issues, maybe you just feel like giving up. Some have possibly gone so far as to cry out "Where are You God? Don't You even care?"
My dear friends, I need to remind you, He's still right there. Sometimes we need to remind each other that God is still in control. We keep trusting in Him. That's what we all need to do when we see or hear another brother or sister going through a tough time. That's what Jesus had to do with the disciples when they got down on their faith. We also need to be in prayer for others going through trials. It's that important.
I think it was in the second part of this series that I discussed Jesus’ half brother James, preaching to the Jews that were scattered because of fear for their lives after Jesus was put to death. Let’s see How Jesus was affected when His chosen people were scattered abroad without a shepherd. Please turn to Mathew 9:36.
Suffering from sin that Satan brought into the world, we, as Adam and Eve, go through some of the same things. Let’s look at Genesis 3.
Genesis 3:1-7 KJV Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.
Genesis 2:15-17 And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. (16) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: (17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Friends, Satan may come to you as your long lost friend. He'll make you feel like that, but I tell you he hates you and everything about you. He hates your life, he hates your family. There's nothing he likes about you other than seeing you not following the Savoir of the world.
2) The devil strives to get us to look at the problem rather than seeking and putting our faith in God.
Have any of you experienced any of these attacks? I can tell you that I've had them just as clearly as can be. Some I have overcome with ease, because of my trust in Jesus. There have been some trials that I still struggle with right now.
Here's Jesus’ commandment to His followers.
Are we carrying out these commandments?
We also need to have that same compassion Jesus had and still has today, sitting at the right hand side of God the Father. Jesus did all these things because of His compassion for them and for you and me. Jesus felt compassion at the risk of His very life. Listen to what the writer of Hebrews says.
Through some of the studies that Leanna and I have shared, I've said that Jesus taught by example of how to be compassionate.
Matthew 9:36-37 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Jesus taught people to follow Him and teach others how.
Jesus taught believers to pray for workers and laborers.
Matthew 9:38 KJV Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Here's a major verse. The Lord taught us compassion by giving all He had.
Brothers and sisters, Jesus wants you and me to develop compassion toward others. I can list many times where we're commanded to love our brothers and sisters. Love our spouses. Love our neighbors. Love our enemies. Turn the other cheek. Do unto others as you would like done unto yourself. These are hard things to do with certain people. But you know what? It can be done if we truly want the compassion that Jesus had. Here is a list how.
2. Act and live out our lives by the teachings, letting them become a part of us.
2. Having dinner with believers and getting to know their personal lives and sharing your faith and testimony.
C. Here's where I truly want to see each and every one of us. Spending time looking and seeking out the lost and lonely.
1. Getting to know them by inviting them out to lunch and spending time with them.
2. By visiting the nursing homes, hospitals and even grocery stores as well as jobs. Clubs and classes are excellent places to look.
3. Become aware of anyone that's isolated and lonely like the sick, disabled or senior citizens not yet in nursing homes.
4. Get to know your neighbor by showing up with a tray of cookies and invite them over for coffee. Leanna and I at one time shared goodies at Christmas time with many neighbors.
5. Here's a tough one but an important one, and Jesus mentioned it. Visit the jails and minister to prisoners.
These are just a few suggestions, but you know what? If you're serious about doing God’s work, He'll guide you with what gift He has given you.
In closing, I really want you to think about these points I'm about to bring up. I want you to think about where you are in all of this.
If we become too engrossed with our own problems and comforts, we'll never be able to reach out to the lost. Set aside TV and computers for a time and go out of your way to reach the lost. Jesus set the example by going out to the multitudes, didn’t He? Can we believers do anything less with our lives? Should we let comfort keep us from striving to reach out to the unsaved?
We can all pray for the lost and that the Lord will send laborers into the field and I pray that we all do, daily. If we have trouble teaching people, can’t we at least invite people to come to church to be taught? Maybe even send this video to them? Be an encourager to those who are going out in the field because they'll be under demonic attack. They'll need to be spiritually covered with all of our prayers. Let compassion to save the lost motivate you into action.
Jesus felt a burning desire to save them spiritually, but He knew their immediate needs had to be met first in order to reach their hearts. The eternal needs could then be met after their physical needs were satisfied. Feeding their bodies made the people look with love and become more receptive to receiving the message. In other words, they had to trust the messenger first before they could trust the message. The Lord was tired, and yet He placed His own needs and comforts aside to minister to others needs. Can we do any differently?
I've learned much these past few months in trusting God. When we go through trials and troubles, the Lord teaches us how to handle problems so that we then have the knowledge and sympathetic compassion to help others. As we see their problems, we remember how we felt and how we were able to make it through. This then opens the door to winning souls for the Kingdom of God, because the Lord can use our painful past to minister healing into the lives of other people. We become the laborers of the Lord harvesting souls for the Kingdom of God.
If we're failing to see people as God does, it's because we haven’t yet learned to develop Godly compassion. Jesus had compassion for those weak in faith, and yet He still reached out to save them. He fed the five thousand by taking care of their physical needs first and then their spiritual needs. Find a way to help others first and then you'll reach their hearts.
My dear friends, I challenge your attitudes and actions to become motivated to minister with compassion into the lives of people and show them their need to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Start viewing people from a biblical perspective and come to understand the mind of God when it comes to winning souls for His Kingdom.
Remember my friends, there may be a finger pointed at each and every one of you, but I have them pointed back at me too. Let’s let God take full control over our entire life and be so on fire for Him that people around us can’t help to take notice and want so badly what we have. Let’s win back what the enemy has stolen from us. It starts with a change in me and you. It starts with prayer. It starts with a deeper relationship with Jesus. It starts with a greater knowledge of God’s word. It starts with a change in our speech. Cursing and blessing. And it also starts with a change in our actions. Are you up for the challenge?
That concludes this message on Having the Compassion Of Christ. I'm not sure what the Lord will have us teach on next week, but I'm sure it'll be a message that each of us need to hear.
There will be a list of some of the websites that we share these messages on in the description box below. Please support these sites not in money, but by visiting and also if led, join these sites and tell them Jim led you there.
I have seriously fallen off the blog wagon.

ITS recently completed network refresh projects for both Wilbur Cross and the Student Union.
The university data network, consisting of both wired and wireless components, is a critical service supporting the institutional mission of research, teaching, learning, and outreach. Our wired infrastructure is unevenly deployed and handicapped by aging equipment that is mostly at, or past, end of life. ITS chose Wilbur Cross and the Student Union because they had some of the oldest equipment and because updates would benefit the community broadly. We identified internal funds and replaced all of the networking equipment over the winter break using a mix of internal and external labor. Both projects were planned to minimize disruption. Pending a larger, more comprehensive capital program, ITS will selectively pursue additional locations subject to available resources.

Starting pitcher Edinson Volquez said: "It's kind of crazy. It works, though. So why not?"
SAN FRANCISCO — The Dominican Republic is hoping it can ride plantain power to the World Baseball Classic championship.
Owing at least part of their success to closer Fernando Rodney's mystical "rally plantain" that he keeps tucked in the side of his uniform pants while sitting in the bullpen, the Dominicans advanced to Tuesday night's title game by beating the Netherlands 4-1 in a WBC semifinal on Monday night at AT&T Park.
The Dominicans fell behind 1-0 in the first inning, but rallied with four runs in the fifth inning to raise their record to 7-0 in the tournament. They will try to become the first team to get through a WBC unbeaten when they face Puerto Rico in the championship game.
"It's kind of crazy," San Diego Padres right-hander Edinson Volquez, who was the winning pitcher Monday, said of the plantain, a yellow banana-like fruit that is common in Latin America. "It works, though. So why not?"
That's what Dominican manager Tony Peña thinks.
"When I first saw Rodney with that banana or plantain or whatever it is, I cracked up," said Peña, the New York Yankees' bench coach. "In this game, you need to do whatever you can to make it fun and take away the stress. It can be a difficult game and you need to keep things loose. Rodney definitely keeps things loose."
Rodney, who pitches for the Tampa Bay Rays, worked a 1-2-3 ninth against the Netherlands for his sixth save of the tourney. As usual, he punctuated the save by shooting an imaginary arrow into the air while his teammates pretended to see how where it landed.
"I've got one more arrow in my bag," Rodney said, referring to his hopes to close out the championship game.

Is phenomenal consciousness a problem for the brain sciences? An increasing number of researchers not only hold that it is, but that its very existence is a deep mystery. That this problematic phenomenon exists is generally taken for granted: It is asserted that phenomenal consciousness is just phenomenologically obvious. In contrast, I hold that there is no such phenomenon and, thus, that it does not pose a problem for the brain sciences. For this denial to be plausible, however, I need to show that phenomenal consciousness is not phenomenologically obvious. That is the goal of this article.

Grants Management at the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences is responsible for the administration of extramural support received by the SMHS for research, public service and instructional programs.
All proposals for extramural support must be reviewed by Grants Management before they are signed by an authorized official of the University.
Grants Management will provide DRAFT reviews upon request.
After the Principal Investigator and department chairperson have signed the proposal, Grants Management will review and gather signatures from the Associate Dean for Research and the Dean.
Upon completion of the SMHS signatures, Grants Management will bring the proposal to the UND Grants & Contracts Administration office for the final review and authorized signature.
The Grants Management office reviews award documents for scope of work, cost, timing, or other financial considerations. While review is allowable, the Grants Management office in not responsible for negotiating the award document. A Grants & Contracts Officer from the central office will do the negotiation with the potential sponsor.
Grants Management is responsible for monitoring currently funded sponsored projects at the SMHS in tandem with the Principal Investigators and their administrative staff. This includes assuring that costs are allowable, notification of any sponsored projects which are overdrawn or may be ending soon, assuring that employees are properly certifying to their effort, and assisting PI's with re-budgeting, no-cost extensions, and project close-out.
Grant & Contract Training Sessions are provided as a resource for faculty and staff to help with all areas of sponsored funding. Training is available individually or for a group upon request. There is no cost for a training session.
National Council of University Research Administrators (NCURA) YouTube Tuesdays also provides short presentations on various topics that are new each Tuesday.
Released April 17, 2019, the NIH Salary Cap changed under NOT-OD-19-099. The Federal Executive Level II Salary Cap changed effective January 6, 2019. The NEW amount is $192,300. This will affect all new NIH awards and some DHHS and Department of Justice awards.
The most recent date on the Indirect Cost Rate Agreement is now 07/27/2018.
ASSIST through the NIH Commons is available to generate NIH proposals. Workspace through Grants.gov is also available to generate NIH or other agency proposals.
Graduate student fringe benefits are currently estimated about $120 per year.
The budget templates have been revised to separate out Key Personnel and Other Personnel. Please use these templates if there is not an agency specific budget to use.
In all budget justifications, please designate a Key Personnel section and also an Other Personnel section.
The lead time policy for internal processing of grant proposals is five days. This means that five days prior to the due date of the proposal, a finalized version should have all SMHS signatures and be ready for Grants & Contracts Administration for final signature.
As the PI of a grant project, you may be contacted by a Federal, State, or University auditor concerning expenses on your grant. When you receive these phone calls or e-mails, it is a good idea to direct that individual to myself for explanations and/or clarifications. If the auditor insists that a discussion with yourself and/or the department head is needed, Diane can then set up a meeting with all parties involved.
When a new grant project number is set up by the UND Grants & Contracts Administration Office, the PI of the project is provided a copy of the award document and the UND Information Sheet.
UND policy states that if your grant project requires IRB approval, a grant project number (ex. UND0012345) will not be set up until the IRB approval has been obtained.
Your proposal budget may ask for a "Cognizant Agency" for our Indirect Cost Rate Schedule. UND's "Cognizant Agency" is the US Department of Health & Human Services. Our Point of Contact is Robert W. Lee at 415.437.7820.
Federal and UND regulations require that conflict of interest forms be on file for principal investigators (PI's) of proposals submitted to external funding agencies. UND has an approved a policy on conflict of interest. PIs must also submit a "Certification of Filing of Financial Interests Disclosure Statement" to the Division of Research & Economic Development annually, or more frequently if their status changes during the year.
The UND Division of Research & Economic Development may provide matching funds for proposals to external funding agencies. In order to properly monitor the amounts and sources of matching funds provided for these proposals, principal investigators requesting matching funds must complete a Matching Funds Request Form.
In order to ensure that correspondence from granting agencies is received by the Division of Research & Economic Development in a timely manner, please use [email protected] on all external grant proposals.
Reviewing your "PI Report" monthly helps you verify your budget, expenses and budget balance.
If you are proposing a subcontract in your budget, you will need to receive a commitment letter with an authorized signature, budget, budget justification, scope of work and any agency mandated forms from that entity, before the proposal is submitted by UND.
Once an employee receives his/her "Personnel Activity Confirmation" report, they have to review, sign, and return this form to the SMHS Grants Management so it can be certified within 30 days.
It is very important to verify that your actual effort percentage on a grant project meets the effort percentage shown in the grant proposal.
"Spending down" a sponsored project when it gets close to the end date of that project is strictly prohibited per the Federal Uniform Guidance.
Facilities & Administrative Costs (F&A Costs also known as Indirect Costs) are only charged on the first $25,000 of each subcontract, and are not charged on any individual piece of equipment purchase $5,000 and above.
Salary corrections should not be done on an employee once that employee has certified to their time on their "Personnel Activity Confirmation" report.
All externally sponsored proposals at the SMHS need to be reviewed and signed by the PI of the project, department chairperson, SMHS Grants Manager, the SMHS Associate Dean for Research, the SMHS Dean, and the UND Grants & Contracts Administration office. These signatures are obtained on the "UND Proposal Routing Form".
There is a process where a grant project number can be set up prior to the award document being received.
No-cost extension requests need to be reviewed by Grants Management and submitted by the UND Grants & Contracts Administration office at 701.777.2808.
Expenses such as office supplies, line charges, postage, administrative salaries, memberships, food purchases, subcontracts and equipment are considered unallowable on grants and contracts unless they are listed in the proposal budget and budget justification.
Below are some general questions concerning the administration of research projects at the SMHS. For questions specific to proposal budgets, please see the Proposal Resources ~ Budget Information section of this website.
Q - How long does it take to route a proposal for signatures?
A - It normally takes five days to route a completed proposal for signatures after the SMHS has signed off on the proposal.
Q - Who needs to sign my grant proposal?
A - Your proposal needs to be reviewed by your department chairperson, SMHS Grants Manager, SMHS Associate Dean for Research, SMHS Dean, and UND Grants & Contracts Administration office before you are allowed to submit it to the sponsor. This process may take up to five days to complete once the SMHS has signed off on the proposal.
Q - How do I verify my PAC Report?
A - Once you have received your Personnel Activity Confirmation Report (PAC), you need to review and sign this report certifying that the effort percentages shown are accurate and included from proposals, along with reporting percentages up to the amount proposed. Then return this form to Grants Management at the SMHS. This form will then be forwarded to UND Grants & Contracts Administration office from the SMHS Grants Management and be back in the UND Grants & Contracts Administration office within thirty (30) days from the time the UND Grants & Contracts Administration office printed.
Q - Where can I find the Proposal Routing Form?
A - The Proposal Routing Form can be found on the Grants Management website on the main index page and also under Proposal Resources ~ Proposals ~ Process. This form is in excel that allows you to complete the boxes and then print it out for signature.
Q - What is the current indirect cost rate for UND?
A - The current indirect cost rates for UND can be found on the Proposal Resources ~ F&A Rates section of the Grants Management website. At the present time, On Campus Research is 39%.
Q - What is the current fringe benefit rate for UND?
A - The current estimated fringe benefit rates for UND can be found on the Proposal Resources ~ Budget Information ~ Budget Categories section of the Grants Management website. Keep in mind that the fringe benefit percentages shown are approximations used for budgeting purposes. Once your proposal is funded, the actual fringe benefits will be charged to your project.
Q - What is the current salary amount for GRA's or GTA's?
A - The current graduate student salary amounts for the SMHS can be found by asking your department administrator.
Q - Do I have to follow my budget line items exactly?
A - Most of the time you are not restricted to follow the budget line items to the exact amount budgeted. You usually have the flexibility to overspend one line item (such as travel), while underspending another line item (such as supplies), as long as you do not exceed the total direct costs awarded. Some agencies will limit the ability to overspend line items and this information will be in the award document or the agency policies.
Q - My proposal requires a subcontractor. What information do they need to provide to me?
A - It is university policy that you obtain a commitment letter signed by an authorized individual, scope of work, budget, budget justification and any agency mandated forms from your subcontractor before your proposal is sent through for the review process. This information obtained from the subcontractor shows a commitment toward your project and is essential to writing the subcontract agreement once your project is funded.
Q - My budget does not include equipment, but I need to purchase some equipment. What do I do?
A - You need to contact the SMHS Grants Manager about your situation, as the purchase of equipment in lieu of other direct costs will affect the indirect expenses of your project. Also in most cases you will need to get the funding agency's approval to purchase any equipment not listed in your proposal.

Other than purchasing these semester passes, one can purchase the non-unit rates of $15/day on campus or $9/day at Bayside, or purchase a monthly pass at the rates for non-unit members here, including a reserved space.
We rejected this offer and now enter mediation, beginning this Friday, November 9 (for a Power Point primer on the parking bargaining process and for previous parking bargaining updates see here).
As many of you know, the FSU had offered many other alternatives and rates, as we discussed with you at our last bargaining update. We will discuss in more detail where bargaining stands and possible directions and would love to hear from you at our bargaining update this Wednesday, November 7, 12 noon, ISC, 2nd floor, room 2003. Join us for pizza.
Help us organize to fight this before the administration imposes it on us. Look for a parking organizing email tomorrow. Bring your energy and ideas.

Kids love sports and sports give you plenty of opportunities to use math in ways that enhance the experience. Here are some tips for how to engage your child in the fun of sports while reinforcing important math concepts.
Can you guess where the ball will be hit?
While watching a baseball game, you and your child can make it interactive. Discuss favorite players, and raise the question, “I wonder if we can guess where the batter will hit the ball?” Make several rough sketches of baseball diamonds, and when a player comes up on your team, put an ‘X’ where he hits the ball. Then the next time at bat, put a coin where you think the ball will be hit. See if the coin is in the area where the player hit it. Both of you discuss your decisions and where the ball might be hit next time. Hint: in the outfield use left, center, and right fields and in the infield use to the left or right of second base. Keep the papers and do it again for other games. You may see that certain players have patterns as to where they hit the ball. This will give your child practice in keeping and interpreting data.
People make pictures of plays in sports?
Kids play soccer, football or basketball in school and in after-school programs. Often they don’t realize that they can use a diagram, a picture or sketch, to help communicate where players are to position themselves and how they are to move. While watching a game on TV, pick a player and see if you both can sketch where he went. Keep the sketch simple. Compare your drawings and talk about what the drawing is saying. Switch drawings and interpret them. If you have recorded the play, rewind and discuss how you drawing did/didn’t represent what happened. Talk to a coach to see how they use diagrams. Making and interpreting diagrams is an important concept in mathematics.
How did you judge who won?
It is easy to look at the final scores or times in many sports like baseball, hockey, basketball, track, swimming and soccer to determine the winner. Scoring sports like gymnastics, diving, ice skating, snow boarding, and ballroom dancing follow different scoring procedures. When participating or watching a sport, talk with your child about the process of determining the scoring. Mention that the judges have to decide what categories are important, assign levels of achievement with a number, and then judge each performer in terms of the points assigned to each category. Each judge will not have the same score as they might ‘see’ and rate things differently. Raise questions with the child so they gain insight into what is fair and why there is a variance in the judge’s scores. Determining categories, weighting them in terms of points allotted, and getting several scores to find the winner involves a lot of mathematical thinking.
When viewing a game discuss with the child how many geometric shapes can be identified. Like in baseball, the diamond is really a square if you rotate it. And each base is a square. There is a Batter’s Circle on the 1st base and 3rd base line. The batter’s box is not really a box (a box has 3 dimensions) but it does have 2 rectangles. Home plate has 5 sides, a pentagon. Relate all shapes to other things they have seen. A 5-sided shape is like a ‘Yield’ sign, it is the shape of the “Pentagon” building and is part of the design of a soccer ball. (The black parts are pentagons, the white parts are hexagons (6-sided) — oh, the ball is a sphere! It is a lot of fun to see how geometric shapes play an important part in every sport.

Three tunes today in honour of Tim Peake‘s spacewalk. It would have been so easy to just post a load of songs punning on “Peake”, but I’m classier than that. Well, today I am. So instead we have Jean-Jacques Perrey‘s much-sampled, and much-bunged-on-TV-soundtracks moogtastic “E.V.A.” from 1970 (which I only just learned today was co-written by a young Angelo Badalamenti), Lemon Jelly sampling a recording of Ed White‘s 1965 spacewalk (it’s beautiful… just beautiful), and Phil Oakey getting, er… phil-osophical about the whole business.

University of Melbourne alumnus and former Sinclair Knight Merz Chief Executive Officer Paul Dougas is heading up a new pathway program aiming to vastly improve opportunities for Indigenous engineering students and increase the number of Indigenous engineers working in Australia.
Paul Dougas is Chair of the steering committee for the Indigenous Engineers: Partners for Pathways project, a nationwide initiative being led by the University of Melbourne thanks to a Commonwealth grant of $700,000. The project aims to create scholarships and devise strategies to promote pathways into engineering and remove barriers to entry for Indigenous and other students who do not have the STEM pre-requisites.
Bachelor of Science (Geomatics) student Adam Pyke was this year awarded the inaugural scholarship thanks to the scheme.
Professor Dougas said the Indigenous community has always been underrepresented in the engineering profession, a situation that has had negative consequences.
The Indigenous Engineers: Partners for Pathways project brings together a range of stakeholders from the education and higher education sectors, as well as industry and professional bodies. The stakeholders are examining the blockages that are preventing Indigenous students from pursuing studies in engineering, with a view to devising ways of working around these barriers.
He said that one of the key barriers was a lack of take-up of maths and science subjects among Indigenous school students.
Professor Dougas said that previous Indigenous scholarship programs had met with difficulties because little thought was put into working with Indigenous organisations to identify, encourage and develop students and offer them alternative means of meeting university entry requirements for engineering.
Professor Dougas said that on a personal level, being involved in projects such as Indigenous Engineers had been immensely satisfying, and that after a wonderful career, he now had more time to give back to the community and the University of Melbourne.
The stakeholders in the Indigenous Engineers: Partners for Pathways project are now working together in preparation for a summit in mid 2015, to devise a program that will be rolled out across Australia.

Two new community national schools will open in September to meet surging demand in areas of population growth.
The schools, in Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, and Greystones, Co Wicklow, are among four new multi-denominational schools coming on stream this year as the number of pupils entering education continues to rise.
Patronage of the school in Carrigtohill is being awarded to the Cork Education and Training Board (CETB) and patronage of the new Greystones school is being awarded to the Kildare and Wicklow ETB.
Earlier this year, Education Minister Jan O'Sullivan announced a new primary school in the Pellettstown/Ashtown area of Dublin, under the patronage of Educate Together, and one in Knocknacarra, Galway, to be run according to Steiner principles, by Lifeways Ireland.
Ms O'Sullivan said the decisions on patronage of the new schools was a response to parental demand for more diversity, under a process overseen by the New Schools Establishment Group.

Kats Host UTSA Friday at 2 p.m.
HUNTSVILLE – Former Southland Conference foe UTSA visits as the Sam Houston women’s tennis team plays its first on-campus dual match of the 2019 season at the McAdams Center Friday at 2 p.m.
Sam Houston went 10-0 at the McAdams Center on the way to a 14-6 overall record in 2018. The perfect mark at home was the Kat’s first at the NCAA Division I level. The 14 wins stand as the highest single-year victory total in program history.
Two weeks ago, the Kats’ original home opener was moved indoors at The Woodlands Country Club due to rain. Third-year SHSU head coach Rob Hubbard says the team looks forward to their first match on the outdoor courts.
With no seniors on the roster, the Bearkats are a squad that mixes experience (two returning juniors and two sophomore letter-winners) with youth (three freshmen and a transfer in the line-up).
Sophomore Sahaja Yamalapalli, junior Ema Barkovic, freshman Isidora Zivkovic and sophomore Karla De La Luz Montalvo have played in the number one through four singles positions, respectively, in the opening contests. Junior Lusine Chobanyan has seen action in three matches at number five. Sophomore Roos Gerritsen has two victories at line six while freshman Petra Kaszas has performed in both the five and six slots.
Sam Houston’s doubles teams feature Yamalapalli and De La Luz Montalvo at number one, Gerritsen and Zivkovic on the number two line and Barkovic and Paszas at number three. Freshmen Malou Goes and sophomores Asni Hill and Stevie Ybarra showed promise in fall tournament action and are available for action as well.
The Bearkats bring a 2-2 record into Friday’s match. Sam Houston opened the season with a 6-1 victory at UT-Rio Grande Valley and followed up with a 7-0 win over Prairie View A&M. Sam Houston fell to Houston 5-2 and Rice 6-1 on the road last weekend.
UTSA features an experienced line-up with two seniors, three juniors and three freshmen on the roster. The Roadrunners own victories over Cameron State and Abilene Christian. Their three losses came at the hands of Texas A&M, New Mexico and Lamar. Ki Kroll, the new head coach for UTSA women’s program, directed the tennis teams at Northern Arizona and Southern Mississippi.
Friday’s match marks the 32nd meeting for Sam Houston and UTSA in the 37-year history of Bearkat women’s tennis. The Roadrunners have won in 24 of the 31 previous meetings. Sam Houston posted its first victory over UTSA since 2010 last spring with a 6-1 win in San Antonio.
From 1992 to 2012, the two teams competed as members of the Southland Conference. UTSA won the Southland women’s tennis championship in 2003. The Roadrunners moved to Conference USA in 2013.
Friday’s event marks the only home dual match for Sam Houston in February. The Kats now face non-conference road trips to North Texas (Friday, Feb. 8), Texas A&M (Sunday, Feb. 10), Louisiana Tech (Friday, Feb. 22) and Louisiana in Lafayette (Sunday, Feb. 24).
The Bearkats will begin Southland Conference play with a pair of home matches Friday, March 1 versus Nicholls and Sunday, March 3 against New Orleans.

What are virtual friends? Wikipedia definitions include imaginary, pets, pseudonyms, a non-player character in a game, and apparently there is a song too. They also say, people met online.That is what I want to talk about, to wonder about, and think about how close they are to ‘real’ friends, who are people I have met face-to-face.
But mostly one of the important things about friendship is not-thinking, more feeling experiencing, never mind what it actually is. The sense of friendship can happen anytime anywhere, is not about longevity, not about commonality, not about mutual agreement. This post to wonder about virtual friends is inspired by Sidey, about whom I know little of detail, but much of blogging thoughts, who responded to my Being a Granny post with “what a nice personal view…”.
Sorry this is getting so long. What I need to say, is what I did NOT know when I started blogging.
I didn’t know I would meet people online. Of course I knew strangers could read my blog – it is public – but what happened? Someone responded with interest (she knows who she is). I am both polite and curious, so I replied, and looked at her post, liked it, had a look at the long list of ‘other blogs’ at the side of her post. I liked some of those too. Nuff said, you all know what happened next, I began to follow some, OMG I even got followers on mine [not many – I do not feel competitive or bothered about numbers].
Now, I have virtual friends. People I want to hear about, people who seem to want to hear about me.
What does it mean to feel connected, genuinely connected, to someone I have never met, in many cases have not seen a photo of them, may not even know their actual name? I may not be sure what age they are, what profession they follow, etc. I know well that unconscious mind does not like a vacuum and without some effort to allow don’t know it will rush to create assumptions and fantasies, even expectation, which can be dispelled or disappointed or betrayed on further acquaintance. This is so for real meetings also. So when I say ‘genuine connection’ it is NOT everyone, the same as with ‘real’ friends. [I value my acquaintances too, and colleagues.] Knowledge and acquaintanceship, even liking, is not my criterion for friendship. There is something so far as I am concerned, indefinable in the connection. I think it over-rides the unconscious fantasy and assumption – it connects – across all the possible similarities and differences, it outweighs the lot of them.
Now, virtual connection is sneaking up on me. I didn’t know that it was going to be there.
Zemanta lets me see how lots and lots of people have blogged about friendship – some differently some similarly. We are so fortunate.
Responsibility – whose? – what kind?
I have met so many quality and delightful people since I started my blog. In many ways I feel closer with them than most people in actual life I know. I have often wished I could meet on the back porch with a dozen or so so chatting the hours away.
I am wondering now if what I can’t describe as the connection is simply a mutual stimulation so that each grows a bit? This is happening in the virtual world as well as the real one, but of course doesn’t always happen, nor is it always mutual, it just seems likely enough. I too would sorely miss this now I have started on it.
Virtual friends … sometimes referred to as ‘online buddies’, are just as real — it’s just that we haven’t met them physically yet. Many of my online buddies feel closer to me than ‘real life’ acquaintances. We exchange thoughts and ideas without being affected by looks, voice ..anything. That’s the way I communicated with he who came to be my husband, for several years before we met.
Every now and then I start to follow a new-to-me blogger, but it’s rare nowadays. When I’ve signed up to follow one, it feels like a commitment and I can’t turn this into a full-time job.
I’ve been thinking about this very subject these last few days and was meaning to write about it … The reason being that I see people in Facebook saying things like: «I’m going to clean up my friends list» (?!) One gets the impression that they treat these ‘online buddies’ like lesser human beings.
I think that facebook friends can be a different breed entirely; some folk have thousands of ‘friends’- basically anyone they’ve ever met, and a few more besides.
The virtual friendships are unexpected in their depth- I worry about and for people, I cheer their positivity, I laugh with them, I want to hold their hands when the going gets tough. Although I had been reading blogs before I started my own, I was still taken aback. I enjoy the connections, and really think that’s why I blog at all. At the beginning I just wanted to see what it was like, to try writing a bit, and had no expectations of the blog lasting longer than a week or two!
🙂 5 June You’ll not get a chance to miss it!

Wall Street is beginning to take notice of problems forming in the $9 trillion corporate debt market.
Jeffrey Gundlach of DoubleLine Capital calls it an "ocean of debt" that could pose problems for the economy.
Moody's notes that investor protection, as measured through the strength of bond covenants, continues to hover around its weakest levels.
After years of U.S. companies taking advantage of low interest rates to pile up cheap debt, Wall Street is beginning to take notice of a problem forming.
Corporate debt outstanding ended 2018 at just over $9 trillion, a 64 percent increase over a decade's time, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association. The surge came as the Federal Reserve kept its benchmark interest rate anchored near zero and allowed companies to reward shareholders, do deals and invest in their own operations.
However, credit quality is showing signs of weakening, with heavily indebted companies already feeling the pinch as the Fed raises rates gradually and global economic conditions start to weaken.
The result has been a trickle of warnings from financial experts that the price tag for all that debt is coming due.
The latest admonition comes from Jeffrey Gundlach, founder of DoubleLine Capital, who said in a warning published over the weekend that the debt load is about to become a bigger problem.
"We are talking about the creation of an ocean of debt," Gundlach told Barron's in a roundtable discussion, during which he noted that the Fed is engaging in "quantitative tightening" that will create "a problem for the stock market."
Others have echoed the same point — Steve Eisman, immortalized in the Michael Lewis book "The Big Short" and now a portfolio manager at Neuberger Berman, recently told the Financial Times he is worried about liquidity issues in the bond market that could create a problem should conditions deteriorate and there is a sudden wave of sellers.
The high-yield end of the bond market has been on a roller coaster lately. Issuance dried up at the end of 2018, but the sector has been strong in the new year. The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, a proxy for the junk market, is up about 3.2 percent in 2019.
However, there are broader longer-range concerns about the $1.2 trillion high-yield market, as well as BBB-rated companies that are threatening to teeter into junk status.
Moody's notes that investor protection, as measured through the strength of bond covenants, continues to hover around its weakest levels. The rating firm also noted that no corporate bonds priced in December, the first time that has happened since it began tracking covenant quality in 2011.
Gundlach, whose firm was managing more than $120 billion as of June 30, said he has "a lot of concern about bond supply and spending."
On a broader level, though, he does not see the economy falling into a recession this year, though he believes stocks have been acting like they're in a bear market.
"I'm not looking for a terrible economy, but an artificially strong one, due to stimulus spending," he said. "I expect the market to fall further. I see almost a reverse of last year, in that stocks could be weak early in 2019 and stronger later in the year."

I got to thinking about this one the other day when Activision announced that the ‘Call of Duty’ name is back in the Modern Warfare 2 title…….whatever Activision, what we have here is an awesome military first person shooter and it’s upcoming sequel should be as great if not better. Here’s my thoughts on the game that took the series out of the tired WW2 theme (which Activision made sure to take it back to). I played through it on the Xbox360, the same experience can be had on the PC and the PS3 as well.
The Good – The single player campaign has some of the most intense first person shooter action around, it’s top notch quality from beginning to end. As the title implies it’s in a modern day setting so all the weapons are current, and the locales are straight from today’s headlines. Levels that put a new spin on your average shooter such as the ‘Death From Above’ level, and the sniper levels are incredibly tense. Tons of cinematic moments weave seamlessly into the gameplay. Graphics engine that’s detailed, fast and smooth, so much in fact that the next game in the series(World At War) used the same engine and runs great on the major platforms(PC,360,PS3). Multiplayer that many gamers swear by, it’s still high up on the xbox live activity list.
The Bad – The campaign is VERY short…probably take most gamers like 6hrs. to get through…AI isn’t always the smartest…umm, there’s not much else in this game that I think is bad. Maybe the intensity will tire some out *shrugs*.
The Ugly – The rap song that plays during the ending credits….talk about out of place.

If it sounds like the above could be the title of a horror flick, well, you’re not far off. I came across the following bit of clever repartee between Mick LaSalle, our often irreverent film critic, and a loyal reader in our local paper this Sunday and was suddenly loaded for bear.
Dear Frank Flynn: No, it’s worse: two X chromosomes. Welcome to my world, Frank. Every year, I see actresses do great work in films and then disappear. In another generation, a studio would have nurtured them, and in other countries, filmmakers would build films around their talents. Not in the English-speaking world. Even established stars, such as Naomi Watts, Halle Berry and Ashley Judd, can go five years without getting a role worthy of their talents. In another country, they’d have two or three strong roles a year. What’s Catherine McCormack doing these days? Or Claire Forlani, Chad Morgan, Natasha McElhone, N’Bushe Wright, Bai Ling, Natasha Gregson Wagner or Alison Elliott? All of them have shown exceptional ability or charm or both onscreen, working in major films. All are still working, but much of that work is under the radar. Headey is doing better than most, in that she starred in a major action movie (“300”). Basically, women in Hollywood need to look convincing swinging a mace – and attractive with bloody fangs. Then they’ll never starve.
What we want to know first is why do we pay money to watch this junk. Unless I’m living in an alternate universe, it’s not believable. Or very entertaining, either. Last I checked, most sane women are not pining after some pudgy dude with a receding hairline and a bad choice of pants. Right?
But the real question is why this stuff gets made, and why women — at least as far as American media are concerned — are considered washed up by the time they get the first intimations of crow’s feet. Yeah, yeah, we know: Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren are still star quality and hooray for them. In every possible way. But are they the exceptions that prove the rule?
“Women, who account for slightly more than 50 percent of the U.S. population, remain underrepresented in television employment by 2 to 1 and in film employment by nearly 3 to 1. Their salaries, too, show a discrepancy: white men, $98,875 versus women, $57,151 for a whopping wage gap of $41,724.
Are you kidding me? Read it again. Is it any wonder that we’re made to believe that the old guy gets the girl? Of course, that’s just the movies. Hollywood fantasies. But look at the damage those ridiculous media images have done to women’s self-image. Our conception of ourselves. Ugh, right?
But now, let’s use movies as metaphor: What happens when women are relegated to one quarter of other segments of our society — like government, boardrooms, the offices down the hall where policy is made? Think about it.
As in movies, so in life. And ain’t that the curse of the double-X.
There is more, but I have to stop before my head explodes.
You could argue that the media images are there to justify (or make look normal) what happens in the boardroom.
$98,875 for men and $57,151 for women says it all, yea?

AMC obviously has a lot of faith in its Breaking Bad spinoff, Better Call Saul: the network ordered a second season of the show, before even airing the first season.
AMC obviously has a lot of faith in its Breaking Bad spinoff, Better Call Saul: the network ordered a second season of the show, before even airing the first season. According to the Hollywood Reporter's Philiana Ng, the premiere of the show has also been pushed from November of 2014 to sometime the following year.
The move comes at an uncertain time for the cable network, which needs to find another bona fide hit—whether in the ratings or among critics. After having said farewell to Breaking Bad last year, the network is on the brink of losing Mad Men, and both Halt and Catch Fire and Turn have received lukewarm response across the board.
So the network is throwing some amount of faith behind Better Call Saul, which will have a 10 episode first season and a 13 episode second season. Recently, Netflix renewed Orange Is the New Black for a second season before the beginning of the first.

Average temperatures from each decade compared with the 20th-century average.
Last year, nearly all observed ocean surface temperatures registered above average because naturally occurring conditions caused by El Niño combined with human-induced warming. About a quarter of those observations broke record highs.
Since 1955, more than 90 percent of the excess heat retained by the Earth as a result of increased greenhouse gases has been absorbed by the oceans, leaving ocean scientists like Eric Leuliette at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration feeling that 90 percent of the climate change story is being ignored.
Amounts in zettajoules, or sextillions of joules, relative to 1971 levels.
For several decades, more energy has been absorbed than emitted at the top of Earth’s atmosphere. According to Gregory Johnson, an oceanographer at NOAA, the rate of energy gained between 1971 and 2010 was roughly equal to the power required to run 140 billion 1,500-watt hair dryers over the same number of years. The rate has only increased in the past decade.
This excess energy has largely been sucked up by the oceans, which have a huge capacity to store heat. As the oceans store more heat, however, they expand. Scientists have shown that over the past decade, this thermal expansion has caused about one-third of the rise in sea levels.
The oceans act as Earth’s enormous heat sponge, sheltering continents and the people who live on them from atmospheric extremes. The near-surface ocean takes only decades to warm in response to elevated greenhouse gas concentrations, but the deep ocean will take centuries to millenniums, raising sea level all the while. In the meantime, warmer ocean temperatures may also increase the destructive potential of extreme weather, like cyclones and hurricanes.
In fact, the effects of warmer waters are already widespread.
The Greenland ice sheet is studded with meltwater streams, rivers and lakes. The rate of melt is alarming many scientists. Both ice melt and thermal expansion are causing a significant rise in global sea levels.
Warmer temperatures are threatening some marine animal and plant species, like these bleached coral on the Great Barrier Reef. Scientists also predict that some birds, like the black-legged kittiwakes in Norway, may soon die off in warmer waters.
The warmer conditions have allowed some jellyfish, like the comb jellyfish, pictured above, in Narragansett Bay, to have longer seasons. Others have expanded their territory. In some cases, United States fisheries have shifted north to cooler waters.

Proyecto Boston-Medellín (PBM) Book & CD Project. During the 2008-2009 schoolyear, Tamera Marko designed service learning components for her Writing for Research courses within the First Year Writing Program. Their research writing was geared toward learning how to research and identify funding opportunities within the arts—a critical skill for today’s artists. Specifically, students wrote grant applications for funds that would help produce an art exhibit of the work of emerging artists and architects visiting Emerson from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, sede Medellín. The artists’ multi-media work projects images of everyday life as a peace force, demonstrating that there is more to know about a place than what the media portrays in mainstream media outlets; in this case, there is more to Medellín than a reputation for drug-trafficking and violence. While at Emerson, the artists engaged with those students who worked to bring them and their art to Emerson. They participated in workshops with Emerson students and professors, spoke in classes, and also produced three major art exhibits in Greater Boston featuring more than 200 photographs, 17 films, and dozens of drawings and written word texts. The Emerson exhibit was attended by over 400 people.
Several Emerson students from that course chose to continue working with the project on their own time. These students created four documentary videos and helped curate a full-color, bilingual book about the Exhibition. They continue to work on the transnational Colombia-U.S. team through real-time video conferences and Facebook exchange to help curate this book. The book and all of the Emerson videos are in Spanish and in English. The purpose of this book and DVD is to (1) document the project in written word, image and film; (2) situate the behind-the-scenes pedagogy, artwork and exhibition moment itself within a critical ethical and academic argument for why it matters; and (3) provide a pedagogical and archival resource for the exhibition and its process to continue to be in circulation among educators, activists, artists and scholars throughout the Americas.
American restaurants and cooking a meal based on their own shopping research at Latin American food markets in Boston. Before interviewing Latin American chefs, the students had to cook and eat a Latin American meal themselves. Students are currently interviewing chefs and staff at five Boston Latin American eateries and writing their invitations to these chefs to come speak to (and feed) our class. The seed grant was used to help pay for food items and to compensate visiting chefs-as-teachers.
The heart of this two-semester project is to gain a deeper understanding and engagement with questions of why and how people immigrate from Latin America and the role that food plays in Latin American cultures at large, and in Latin American immigrant communities in Boston in particular.
Christina Marin’s Drama as Education II students partnered with local tutoring and writing center 826 Boston. Her students were able to participate in the development and implementation of writing workshops employing dramatic activities as the basis for arts-engaged pedagogy.
With seed grant funding, 36 students in two classes will work with hired Visual and Media Arts students to create public service announcements about the City of Boston and what it holds for one-third of Boston’s population: young people aged 20-34. This work will be able to be viewed by thousands of city residents, including employees at City Hall and possibly even Mayor Thomas Menino and his administration.

The aim of the programme is to train professionals, who are perfect in the theoretical foundations and basic methods of psychology, have an insight into the applied branches of psychology, and possess skills and techniques that can be used in order to measure, explore and develop individuals, groups or organisations through behaviour measurement or other experiments. It is also aimed to provide theoretical and practical knowledge and a true sense vocation that supports further learning in any psychology MA.
According to the above mentioned objectives the curriculum of the faculty underlines the importance of theoretical knowledge and the regular syllabus of the profession of psychology, therefore it teaches the methodology and the practical courses eligible to master the main applied branches and the trainings that shape the skills and competences necessary for the behaviour analysis separately and supports it with high credit volume. Next to the basic courses and the regular syllabus the curriculum also offers further special courses to help their detailed understanding. One can choose from them in order to decide in which practical field the student wants to become familiar with or more deeply engaged in.
The methodically demanding research papers compiled in the fields of the basic branches substantiate the final dissertation which is in fact a portfolio of the empirical findings of these research papers, but with a methodical completion of an individually chosen one with further introduction into practical applications.
The final examination consists of the defence and discussion of the research papers. Students are to place their research papers within the broader context of their studies in psychology. Special emphasis will be given to the methodological skill and appropriate use of statistical methods acquired by the student.
The foreign language qualification of ELTE has a long history stemming from the internationally known workshops and the teachers who are also recognized internationally. The programme exists since 1991, as an English language version of the Hungarian curriculum. During these years the Institute welcomed 50-60 students per year from a wide range of foreign countries. As one can see, the student to teacher ration supports a tutorial-like atmosphere which can boost communication and guidance effectiveness among the students and their teachers. Regarding the number of staff and students, the professional preparedness, administrative capacity, and infrastructural conditions of the institute, the Faculty of Education and Psychology at ELTE has the best Institute of Psychology in Hungary.

Hidey-ho, sisters and bros! tToA turns 2 today! Woohoo! Yep, we’re in the proverbial twos of terribleness now. Second anniversary. Traditionally, that’s the China and/or cotton anniversary, so if anybody wants to buy us a Re-Animator t-shirt or take us out for egg rolls and General Tso’s for dinner, either/both would be acceptable (and appreciated)!

I have been exchanging emails with Diane Ravitch, the clearest voice in the movement to reverse American emphasis on raising school achievement no matter what. She is a brilliant historian and essayist, even if she does not share my fondness for this century’s biggest education reform: charter schools.
We agree that disadvantaged children have to be rescued from poverty before most of them can learn as much as middle-class kids. But while the country struggles to make that happen, why can’t we, in the meantime, support those public charter schools that are preparing significant numbers of low-income children for college?
Charter schools are still growing. There are about 7,000 in 42 states and the District. They have 3 million students, six times more than 15 years ago. I have visited more than 50 great charters, but I know that many others are bad.
In 2015, 400 charters opened while 270 were closed for lack of students, money or academic success. The NAACP wants a moratorium on charter expansion. Voters in Georgia and Massachusetts just turned down measures to increase charters. Education Week found that low-performing cybercharters are still getting state money because of heavy lobbying by their corporate sponsors.
I asked Ravitch: Would you shut down charters altogether, even if some were run by dedicated educators who were giving students more than they got in their regular public schools? At this critical moment for charter schools, with Ravitch so influential on the anti-charter side, her answer is important.
“I would call a moratorium for all new charters,” Ravitch said. “All charters would be required to be financially and academically transparent.” She would ban for-profit charters. Charters would have to fill all empty seats each year, she said, so average test scores would not rise just because low-performing students had left. Charters would have to have the same demographics as regular schools in their neighborhoods, she said, with the same portion of students with disabilities and students learning English.
Ravitch also would require characteristics that the best charters already have: collaboration with public schools, charter boards made of local community members and racially diverse student bodies.
Ravitch’s ideas are worth discussing, but she has not eased my fears about what would happen to the best charters. Their successes depend on giving their principals and teachers the freedom to innovate.
She reminded me that “the charters in some states are dreadful.” Washington-area residents familiar with the high standards and sensible management of D.C. charters would be appalled at what is going on in Michigan, Ohio and Nevada.
My only strong disagreement is with her desire to “oppose charter schools unless they are part of a district plan, unless they meet a need that the school district wants to fill.” This presumes that the people who run school districts have a clear sense of what their students need. If that were true, the charter movement would never have started.
Toward the end of our exchange, the election results came in. “There will be neither accountability nor transparency for charters in a Trump administration,” Ravitch told me. “If charters don’t clean up their house, they will be known for graft, fraud and waste of taxpayer money.” Does Trump care at all about this? We shall see.
Ravitch is among the nation’s toughest charter critics. But she is willing to let charter educators be creative. This is encouraging as we seek middle ground for a reform that, despite its problems, has had many successes and strong support from parents.

Cadence in sports involving running is the total number of full cycles taken within a given period of time, often expressed in steps or cycles per minute. It is used as a measure of athletic performance.
It is similar to cadence in cycling; however, it is often overlooked in its importance in the sports of running and racewalking. This discrepancy may be attributable to other factors of importance in running, including stride length, technique, and other elements pertaining to bio-mechanical efficiency.
Note that in other sports such as weight lifting or bodybuilding, cadence can refer to the speed or time taken to complete a single lift, rather than how many repetitions of a lift are completed.

You may be aware of the recent attention given to the XCP content protection software included on some SONY BMG CDs. This software was provided to us by a third-party vendor, First4Internet. Discussion has centered on security concerns raised about the use of CDs containing this software.
I'm hoping the fallout from this will sour the industry on CD copy-protection schemes for the foreseeable future.

« Why won’t my Achilles’ heal?
Ken Bob Saxton is the man. According to Wikipedia, Barefoot Ken Bob is the Godfather of barefoot running, and that’s consistent with my experience. I am one of the countless rookie runners BKB has gone out of his way to advise. He’s a busy guy, but he took the time to respond twice to my post on Sunday.
Normally a very patient teacher (ala the Shoalin priests in Kung Fu) he bristled at me a few weeks ago when I too readily concluded that winter barefoot running in New England doesn’t work. “Open your mind,” said KB. I did, and was out running in 15 degrees a week later. The only time BKB really loses it is in response to the cardinal oxymoron: barefoot running shoes. Barefoot means barefoot.
His madness is not without method. His most consistent theme is that your own bare soles are your best teachers. “Listen to your feet,” is classic Ken Bob.
This view reminds me a lot of Tim Gallwey‘s great books from the 70s on tennis and skiing. Gallwey’s premise is basically that our bodies learn how to ski or hit a tennis ball from watching other people…and then our brains screw it all up. He tells you to feel your shins on the tongues of your boots or the angle of the racket in your hand, and don’t think so much.
If you can believe your body knows how to ski, it’s easy to buy that it knows how to run. Ken Bob tells you listen to your feet and your body, and you’ll do the right thing. Some of his advice, reminds me of the ol’ joke: Doc, it hurts when I do this….Then don’t do that. BKB’s downhome wisdom is similar. If your feet are getting sore, stop running. Take it easy. Be patient.
Barefoot Running is the best single reference there is. Check it out. When I ski or play tennis, Gallwey’s lessons in the back of my head. And when I run BKB is always whispering, “Relax, relax, relax.” Do I have it right, BKB? Thanks.
