How can an online search give people lasting hope and peace of mind? BGEA's Internet evangelism ministry points them to the greatest need of all – the need for Christ, who alone offers comfort, joy and help overcoming temptation. Two online volunteers talk about this new outlet of sharing their faith.
A 58-year-old woman from Nebraska can't understand why God let her young husband die tragically. A young boy writes that "my life is scary. … I have so many worries."
Around the world, people are taking their questions and concerns online. To date, nearly 11 million of them have found PeaceWithGod.net, an evangelistic website that presents the Gospel in a simple, yet effective way.
PeaceWithGod.net not only presents a message of hope and life, but allows many visitors to chat with online counselors trained to respond to their spiritual questions.
Glenda, a Georgia resident who rededicated her life to Christ while watching a Billy Graham Crusade in 1974, is an online counselor with Search for Jesus, the umbrella ministry to PeaceWithGod.net.
"It's nice to have a platform where you can help them and you're allowed to tell them about God and Jesus," she said. Glenda works as a licensed counselor and said she's limited in talking about faith.
"I feel like I'm keeping a great secret from them," she said about her clients. "You know what would help them, but you're not allowed to tell them."
Since April 2011, nearly 2 million people said they committed or rededicated their lives to Christ through PeaceWithGod.net, with more than 255,000 of them passing along their contact information for discipleship and follow up.
A 39-year-old Texas man with cancer recently found the site and wondered, "Is it too late to be saved?" A mom said she messed up in life and is concerned for her children's salvation.
PeaceWithGod.net isn't just a website but a ministry that God is using in a mighty way. Online searches that lead people to PeaceWithGod.net include phrases like "I want to die" and "looking for God." One young man wrote that he is out of work and has no insurance to help treat his HIV, yet his biggest need isn't medical attention. It's Christ, he wrote, the One who offers eternal life.
Like some other Search for Jesus volunteers, Glenda also gives her time as a Search for Jesus discipleship coach, following up with people who surrendered their lives to Christ or want to know more.
Glenda once mentored a woman who was "frantic" and worried about her salvation. Using resources provided by Search for Jesus, Glenda reassured her of the commitment she had made to Christ and helped the woman get connected with a church.
"It's satisfying to finally be serving the Lord," Glenda said. "I'm a little ashamed that I didn't do more before."
David of North Carolina said volunteering as a discipleship coach has taught him patience.
"I'm 68 years old, so I've seen a lot of stuff," he said.
David is retired from sales. He teaches at church and is part of a prayer group that focuses on law enforcement officers and their families. Although he's familiar with many of his community's struggles, mentoring people online means communicating sympathy and hope solely through words.
"When you're in situations like that, the Lord will come to you and give you the words to say," he said. While typing emails, he sometimes wonders, "Where did that come from?" knowing that it is God working through him.
David counseled one man originally from India who used words like "salvation" and "repentance," but didn't understand them. David explained the Gospel in a way he could understand, and the man said he wanted to pass it onto his family.
Impact of PeaceWithGod.net
The Search for Jesus team regularly prays for those impacted by PeaceWithGod.net. Here are some comments from the PeaceWithGod.net Facebook page:
"I have given my life to Christ today, no more going back to my old life."
"This is something I should have done in 1966 after my father died. … I just committed myself to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up."
"I have been feeling that I needed to get closer to God for a while. … As I was reading on my Kindle this morning I almost dropped it and in juggling it around to catch it, this website popped up by chance. Is this subtle or what? Praise God & His holy name!"
Peace With God in other languages
In 2012, Search for Jesus added three other evangelistic websites: PazConDios.net for Spanish speakers in the U.S., PazComDeus.net for Portugal, and HopeKayGod.net for the Philippines. PazConDios.net for Mexico launched Jan. 15. These sites have had thousands of visitors, with many surrendering their lives to Christ. One visitor to PazConDios.net wrote, "I was feeling empty. Now I found a new path that's called Jesus Christ."

CMT Music Awards: Kristen Bell & Jason Aldean Are Best Hosts Ever
What do you get when you put Veronica Mars and a lovable southern country star together on a stage? The greatest hosts of the CMT Music Awards ever! Kristen Bell and Jason Aldean collaborated in co-hosting this year's show, and while it might seem like a strange combination, they were actually great together!
Kristen Bell and Jason Aldean hosted the 12th Annual CMT Music Awards together on June 5 and they were a perfect pair. Coming from such different career backgrounds, it was kind of a toss-up as to whether they were going to be able to have the kind of chemistry co-hosts of an awards show need. But once they started their opening monologue, we knew we were in for a good night!
Jason Aldean & Kristen Bell As CMT Awards Hosts — The Best Emcees Ever
The opening monologue was a hilarious video with Kristen acting as Jason's therapist because hosting the CMT Music Awards is kind of a "scary proposition for a Georgia boy," as Jason put it. It turned into a group therapy session with cameos from Vince Vaughn, Blake Shelton, Reba McEntire, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Melfi, Dr. Drew and Kelsey Grammer!
Once they got on stage, you could tell Kristen was fired up and Jason was going to be her supplemental not-so-hyper cohort, which was going to make for the perfect balance. You could definitely tell which one was the acting business!
In the beginning, Jason looked great in a classic country get-up with jeans, a black leather jacket and his signature cowboy hat. Kristen rocked a form-fitting gold sequined dress, and she looked absolutely stunning for someone who had a baby just over two months ago! (She gave birth to daughter Lincoln Bell Shepard on March 28.)
Kristen Bell Returns To The CMT Awards Show Stage
Hosting this year's CMT Music Awards marks the second year in a row for Kristen and Jason's first go at hosting. That's not to say he isn't familiar with the awards show — he has been nominated for 11 CMT Music Awards, winning one of those for CMT Performance of the Year in 2012.
The way these two owned the stage, we think award shows should always put two unusual co-hosts together — so far it's worked out swell!
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Did Kristen and Jason have good co-host chemistry?

Donald Trump "ambushed" Harry Dunn's parents by revealing the woman allegedly responsible for the teenager's death was waiting to meet them in a nearby room at the White House, their lawyer has said.
Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn turned down an invitation to speak with Anne Sacoolas, who fled the UK following the crash which killed the 19-year-old motorcyclist in August, after the US president told them she was in the next room.
The couple were invited to the Oval Office on Tuesday after travelling to the US in the hope of pressuring Ms Sacoolas to return to Britain to face justice.
Northamptonshire Police have been unable to interview the American, who is married to a US intelligence official, because she claimed diplomatic immunity.
Dunn's parents travelled to Washington to meet Mr Trump after their lawyer, Radd Seiger, received a call "out of the blue" from the White House on Tuesday.

A few months ago, me and one of my boys went to one of the local second hand stores on their half off day.
When we went in the store, it felt off, as if something had changed in the store, but we weren't sure what it was or where it had come from.
As we shopped, we kept our eyes out for whatever it was that had changed.
Then my son came to me asking me for a band aid. He showed me a small cut on his hand that was bleeding.
So I gave him one, and he put it on his hand.
Then just a few minutes later, he came to me again, this time needing two more band aids for bleeding cuts.
I found two more band aids and gave them to him. Again, he put them on.
I asked him what he was touching, that would cause cuts on his hands, but he said he was looking at clothes, and did not know how or why his hands had started to bleed. He said he came to me for the band aids because he didn't want to get the clothes all bloody.
We looked at his hands again, and found that just within the time that we'd been talking, there were several more small cuts in both hands that were starting to bleed. The cuts were in the natural creases of the hand.
As I tried in vain to search for more band aids, the Lord told me to get out of the store.
But I kept looking for the band aids, thinking that he would need them anyways, and I was already in the process of searching through out my purse for them.
But again, I heard the voice from within almost shout at me: "Get out!"
So I stopped looking and ushered him outside.
As we were leaving, we looked back into the store, and seen a huge altar sitting there right in the middle of the store.
We had not seen it as we went in, for the store was busy, and several people had been standing in front of it. People had also put stuff on top of the altar, so it was not very noticeable close up.
But from a distance, now that the people had cleared out, one could see it.
It looked like the kind of altar one would find in a massive Roman Catholic church, complete with a large X with a P going through it, and the letters JHS on its side. It looked like it had first been built in the seventies.
That is what our eyes told us. But the spirit in both of us knew without a doubt, that this altar had once been used for satanic sacrifices and ritual works. We guessed that it had been in a Roman Catholic church at one time, and then had been used by a satanic coven. Now the coven no longer wanted it, and so it was now for sale at the second hand store.
My son was trying hard not to cry. He told me that he could sense the death that had come upon the victims that were once offered up and killed upon that altar to satan.
By the time we left that store, my son's hands were slippery with blood. Many more wrinkles on both the inside palms of his hands had begun to bleed. The band aids wouldn't even stay on; there was just too much blood.
But just minutes after we left the building, my son's hands simply stopped bleeding.
A half hour after that, all signs of cuts or bleeding, were gone. No infection had set in. It was as if it had never even happened.
The following month we went back to the store. The altar was gone, and we experienced no more cuts or bleeding problems at all.
I share this to let others know, that sometimes items from Catholic churches can be used by Satanists. And when they are, those items can become very cursed indeed…
Deuteronomy 12:1-3 GNV 1599: "These are the ordinances and the laws, which ye shall observe and do in the land, (which the Lord God [a]of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it) as long as ye live upon the earth. Ye shall utterly destroy all the places wherein the nations which ye shall possess, served their gods upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree. Also ye shall overthrow their altars, and break down their pillars, and burn their [b]groves with fire: and ye shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and abolish their names out of that place." (See also Deut. 7:5)
Ephesians 6:12 GNV 1599: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places."
2 Corinthians 2:11King James Version (KJV) "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices."
Ephesians 4:27 "Neither give place to the devil."

Intensive aerial herbicide spraying of coca crops in Colombia has backfired badly, contributing to the spread of coca cultivation and cocaine production to new areas of the country and threatening human health and the environment, a report released today by the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) shows. Both "Chemical Reactions" and the forthcoming Spanish-language version of the report were made possible through the generous support of MacArthur.

Nearby and nice: Fontana gem offers possibilities
Address: 465 Fontana Drive
Neighborhood: Fontana
Asking: $448,000
Assessment: $376,000
Year Built: 2002
Size: 3,478 fin. sq. ft., 560 unfin.
Land: 0.41 acres
Agent: Lori Meistrell, RE/MAX Affinity Group, 434-296-0007
Curb Appeal: 8 out of 10
With the Martha Jefferson Hospital joining other businesses on Pantops, the nearby Fontana community would seem a convenient location to put down roots. Just off Route 20 North, it's a short drive to downtown, UVA, and all points along the bypass.
Many mature trees survived development of this undulating parcel, and subdivision amenities include a clubhouse, workout room, pool, tennis courts, and walking trails. Darden Towe Park is a stone's throw away for kids active in river paddling or sports leagues. And of course nearby Pantops Mountain provides stores, doctors, restaurants, and services, while in the other direction, a picturesque country road through horse country leads to vineyards, theaters, and historic landmarks. Those who call Fontana home don't have much to complain about.
This handsome brick colonial sits atop a hill with views of the city. A secluded well-kept yard has a wood deck and play set, and a newly paved driveway leads to a two-car garage, with additional guest parking to the side.
Just inside the spacious foyer, the living room doorway is framed by columns and a stylized casing. Made for entertaining, the expansive living room opens to a dining room accented with picture-frame wainscoting.
The original eat-in kitchen is sunny, with warm maple accents, laminate countertops, and an array of windows and cabinetry— including a built-in desk. The center island's small bar separates the kitchen from an informal dining nook with views to the woodsy side yard– though upgrades to granite and higher-end appliances would replace comfortable with "wow."
Off the kitchen, a family room has a gas fireplace, and French doors open to the deck. A pantry, laundry room, bathroom, and storage closet lead to the garage. Walls are freshly painted in subdued colors, and oak floors throughout this level are in exceptional condition— all assuring an effortless move.
A formal stairway leads to the second floor's four bedrooms and study. Families with kids about to hit the "tween" stage will find separate bedrooms a plus. The master suite, with high tray ceiling and mountain views, boasts a sizeable bath with jetted tub, separate shower, and solid-surface double-sink vanity. The remaining three bedrooms share a full bath in the hall.
Teenagers can lay claim to uncharted territory in the walkout basement. The current owners have finished the perimeter walls and laid Berber carpet, making it ready for some fab furnishings and decor. A full bath separates a workout area with natural lighting (that could be converted into a bedroom) from the adjoining space. Here is plenty of room for play: pool, foosball, or ping pong. By adding a few walls in this expansive area, an in-law apartment could be easily created with room for lounging and dining. French doors bring daylight into an ideal space for a kitchenette next to the bath.
This house is roomy without being cavernous. Buyers will find it is immaculate and ready for occupancy.
With the expected continued growth in the Pantops area and the potential of businesses like the CFA Institute moving into the old Martha Jefferson space on this end of town, purchasing a house this size in this location would seem a wise investment for now and the future.
Each week a brave local seller invites the Hook in for a warts-and-all reivew of a property. Call to schedule a visit to yours now!

Unisex Hairdressers in Midrand?
With the pace of the modern world and the ease of instant gratification, African American Hair Braiding styles seem to be an excellent option for a stylish and low maintenance hair-do. Perhaps the reason that so many youths flock to hair braiding as their favorite style option is due to the fact that it's easy to manage and it comes in great styles.
On almost every corner you can find Hair Salons, and whether they look like they cater for a 'white' clientele or not you can bet they do braiding there. The popularity of African American Hair Braiding styles has surpassed race. In other words people other than those of African American descent also try these Hair Braiding styles. There are several types of Hair Braiding styles to choose from. Some include: Goddess Braids, Micro Braids, Pixie Braids, French Inverted Braids, Pixi Pin Curls, Candy Curls, Bantu Knots, Fishtail Braids, Flat Twist, Locks and Undetectable braid and Cornrow Extensions, Invisible Braids, Tree braids, Senegalese Twist, Silky Locks, Interlock Weaving, Latch Hook Weaving, Silky Corkscrew, African Twist, Kinky Twist, Two-Strand Twist, Nubian Corkscrew, and Cobra Stitch. Perhaps the most difficult part of braiding is learning to keep the tension on the strands as evenly balanced as possible. However, this only comes with practice and in due time.
Cornrows is perhaps one of the most popular types of African American Hair Braiding Styles. It is a traditional style of hair grooming which requires that the hair is tightly braided very close to the scalp, using an underhand, upward motion to produce a continuous, raised row. Cornrows can be formed, as the name implies, in simple, straight lines; or, in complicated geometric or curvilinear designs. The attraction to this style of braiding is the easy maintenance it offers. Cornrows can be left in for weeks at a time simply by carefully washing the hair using a stocking cap or hair net and then regularly oiling the scalp and hair.
Brazilian Hair Straightening Treatment
We've come a long way with curly perms for African-Americans. Just imagine yourself getting out of bed, getting ready for work, and all you have to do is spritz your hair with mist, work the moisturizing lotion through your hair, run your comb through your hair, you look fabulous and you're ready to go! Due to the many hats women have to wear these days as mother, mentor, and unfortunately even father to our children, nowadays women are looking for hair that looks great without the fuss. Low maintenance is the key. Let's face it, with the added responsibilities we face as women, we just don't have the time to spend long hours in salons or devote a large amount of time in front of the mirror fixing our hair.
With the Wave Nouveau dry curl system, maintenance is effortless. The hair looks great, and it is definitely a major improvement from the days when everyone was wearing the greasy unattractive Jheri Curl. The Wave Nouveau is the first of its kind to take the "dry curl" to new heights. It looks more natural than other curl systems and looks more like our natural hair. Another major benefit is that it's not fake; it's not a weave, and most importantly, it's YOUR own hair. If taken care of properly, your hair will thrive and grown to great lengths.
Hopefully you will not have trouble finding a beautician who still performs the Wave Nouveau. We are seeing an upward trend of women going back to this dry curl system because it is so easy to take care of and maintain.
The day of curly perms for African-Americans is a sign of the future as more women seek out styles that require little attention.

Anti-malware vendor Panda Security's PandaLabs has found that the number of threats . . . surprise, surprise . . . have risen significantly year over year. What's interesting is how large a percentage of attacks Trojans have become.According to PandaLabs, the number of threats in circulation has risen significantly since last year - with an average of 73,000 new strains of malicious software hitting each day. That's a 26 percent rise over the same year ago quarter.
What stood out to me is the fact that PandaLabs calculate that Trojans account for 70 percent of all new malware created. If anyone doubted that the primary motivation behind malware isn't theft, that data point alone should change minds.
PandaLabs also found that both fake anti-virus and rogueware have decreased and bots have remained steady. Not so surprisingly, because of their utility, and how small they are, downloaders are on a considerable rise.
Downloader Trojans are relatively small snippets of code that will subsequently download scripts and other programs onto the infected system that can be used to steal data, use the infected system as a launch pad for deeper attacks into the business, or even install bots that became part of broader denial-of-service attacks. It's very easy for traditional anti-malware defenses to miss these types of attacks.
Luis Corrons, technical director of PandaLabs, pointed out in a statement that the technical acumen necessary to create such attacks is becoming quite low. "The proliferation of online tools that enable non-technical people to create Trojans in minutes and quickly set up illegal business - especially when it provides access to banking details - is responsible for Trojans' impressive growth," he said.
For my security and technology observations throughout the day, find me on Twitter.

Many people in Kapilavatthu believed in the Tathagata and took
refuge in his doctrine, among them Nanda, Siddhattha's
halfbrother, the son of Pajapati; Devadatta, his cousin and
brother-in-law; Upali the barber; and Anuruddha the philosopher.
Some years later Ananda, another cousin of the Blessed One, also
joined the Sangha.
Ananda was a man after the heart of the Blessed One; he was his
most beloved disciple, profound in comprehension and gentle in
spirit. And Ananda remained always near the Blessed Master of
truth, until death parted them.
On the seventh day after the Buddha's arrival in Kapilavatthu,
Yasodhara dressed Rahula, now seven years old, in all the
splendor of a prince and said to him:
"This holy man, whose appearance is so glorious that he looks
like the great Brahma, is thy father. He possesses four great
mines of wealth which I have not yet seen. Go to him and entreat
him to put thee in possession of them, for the son ought to
inherit the property of his father."
Rahula replied: "I know of no father but the king. Who is my
The princess took the boy in her arms and from the window she
pointed out to him the Buddha, who happened to be near the
palace, partaking of food.
Rahula then went to the Buddha, and looking up into his face said
without fear and with much affection: "My father!"
And standing near by him, he added: "O samana, even thy shadow is
a place of bliss!"
When the Tathagata had finished his repast, he gave blessings and
went away from the palace, but Rahula followed and asked his
father for his inheritance.
No one prevented the boy, nor did the Blessed One himself.
Then the Blessed One turned to Sariputta, saying: "My son asks
for his inheritance. I cannot give him perishable treasures that
will bring cares and sorrows, but I can give him the inheritance
of a holy life, which is a treasure that will not perish."
Addressing Rahula with earnestness, the Blessed One said: "Gold
and silver and jewels are not in my possession. But if thou art
willing to receive spiritual treasures, and art strong enough to
carry them and to keep them, I shall give thee the four truths
which will teach thee the eightfold path of righteousness. Dost
thou desire to be admitted to the brotherhood of those who devote
their life to the culture of the heart seeking for the highest
bliss attainable?"
And Rahula replied with firmness: "I do. I want to join the
brotherhood of the Buddha."
When the king heard that Rahula had joined the brotherhood of
bhikkhus he was grieved. He had lost Siddhattha and Nanda, his
sons, and Devadatta, his nephew. But now that his grandson had
been taken from him, he went to the Blessed One and spoke to him.
And the Blessed One promised that from that time forward he would
not ordain any minor without the consent of his parents or
Pataliputta Rejoice!

One of the ongoing points Henrique Hopkins and I have in our conversations about shopping for records has to do with my experiences with the record stores in coastal Maine towns. Whether it be Acadia Nation Park (the location of the famous vacationing town of Bar Harbor) or the mid coast region that includes Belfast,Camden and Rockland there is nearly always a brick and mortar record store to hang out in and find new grooves. These are also areas that flourish with great appreciation for the arts. Doesn't matter of one is a painter,musician,writer or stone mason. These are usually wonderful places to enjoy,purchase and especially create new works of art.
Camden was always a favorite place to go. It was once the home of Wild Rufus. This is where a lot of my immediate pre and post millennial crate digging sessions took place. That store's been closed down for some years now. However today I met the man who started it up before I was even born. His name is Matt Brown. He and his wife Karyl share a store front. He sells the music/music related media and she sells homemade jewelry and clothing. The music part is called Manny's,the other is Karyl's Handmade Jewelry. My father told me to go investigate this new store a couple of weeks ago while he was in Camden with my mom. So she and I decided to venture there today.
These are the four CD's I picked up from Manny's today. Mr. Brown sells modern vinyl as well as new and used CD's. Many of his used items are actually from his personal collection. And they account for Larry Carlton and Billy Cobham albums I picked up. He professed to love jazz and blues,and even commented on how strong a guitar player he felt Carlton was upon seeing my purchases. We also talked about my seeing B.B. King with Dickey Betts five years ago at the Bangor waterfront. And how great it was to see Muddy Waters perform with Eric Clatpon,Albert Lee and Muddy's band at the Augusta Civil Center in Maine on May 25th,1979.
This coming Saturday is National Record Store Day. It's been a couple years since I began this "record store stories" concept for Andresmusictalk. Meeting this Matt Brown was a great experience for me. And am looking forward to future encounters in his record store. I'd like to conclude this article by saying something to every jazz/funk/blues/soul/rock crate digger/record collector reading this. If you travel and decide to visit mid coast Maine this summer,stop into Manny's and Karyl's if your in the town of Camden. They have a growing collection of records he Brown makes it a great experience for anyone interesting in music.

Tutorial Video on Loading Waypoints and POIs onto a Garmin 60CSx
When discussing what Geocachers like about their 60CSx units the top three faves is accuracy, durability and ease of use. As of this post I have had mine for three weeks and I couldn't agree more.
The shear size of memory for maps and POIs with the addition of an SD card (I upgraded from the factory 256Meg to 2Gig) is quite useful. I currently have my standard 1000 Geocache waypoints and the addition of the 20,000 - yes 20,000 additional geocaches loaded as Points of Interest (POIs). The kicker is that has barely scratched the memory surface and there is tons of room for custom maps.
Okay I just know you are asking yourself why would I bother with keeping 20,000 geocaches on my GPS? Go ahead ask, I'm right here... The reason is it takes almost no time to load and maintain that many when you use an application like GSAK (Geocaching Swiss Army Knife). GSAK stores all my .GPX files that I receive from geocaching.com which is also known as Pocket Queries. You simply drag and drop them onto GSAK and it loads them automatically. Then I run a filter to clean up the geocaches the way I want and download them to the Garmin. That's it, and I can do the whole thing in about 15 minutes. Now I can know the whereabouts of pretty much every geocache in my state. Tell me that's not helpful.
So speaking of geocache waypoints and POIs, interested in having multitudes on your GPS? Glad you asked so lets get to it.
GeoSnippits - Load POIs and Waypoints to Garmin 60CSx Part One
Part One shows you how to get the necessary .gpx files via geocaching.com's Pocket Queries. Then how to load them into GSAK which will then load the geocache waypoints onto your Garmin 60CSx GPS.

Very nice post. I bought my 60csx about a year ago (replacing a Garmin GPSMap 12), and it was the best purchase I ever made.
Not sure I'd ever need 20k caches on my device, but good to know I can. I use the Garmin Custom Symbol Export macro in GSAK (see, GCSE)which puts the appropriate GC symbol on my Garmin screen. This loads the caches as waypoints rather than POI's, but until I start finding more than 1,000 caches in one day, it works fine for my needs ;).

I don't think I've ever read a single word about the 60csx that is critical of it, and there's no shortage of reviews of it, and "newer" models.

As a fledgling geo-wizard, I have just ordered the Garmin 60CSx, upgrading from a Garmin road Nuvi! I expect great things from it, but am somewhat intimidated by it as well. I found your review, and video link and have bookmarked it. Thanks in advance for your help, which I'll surely need! :o)

Among other exotic revelations in this ESPN list of top-paid athletes, Phil Taylor has become a very wealthy man by throwing metal spikes at cork boards. Taylor, who took up darts at a local pub called the Crafty Cockney, earned $1,044,000 in prize money in 2010. I'm sure he's very serious about it now. How could he not be with that kind of money at stake? But don't go telling me a man nicknamed The Power doesn't throw down a pint or two on the regular. God bless Phil Taylor. He has figured it out.
More fun with numbers: jockey Ramon A. Dominguez made $17,411,880 in 2010, which is better than Peyton Manning (not including endorsements). And women made more than men in distance running, skiing, and triathlon.

Good Morning,
DOW futures are down 250 points this morning after hitting 8,200 last night and then bouncing. The SPX hit the 830 area and is now about 843.
This deal with Madoff is potentially very bad. Hedge funds are already squealing, I can see this leading to more liquidation and deleveraging.
Producer Prices fell 2.2% in November, more than forecast. A lot of that is fuel costs, but it is reflecting the deflationary forces at work.
Retail sales fell for the fifth straight month, down 1.8% in November from October. Remember, November is the start of the holiday shopping season – that's very weak.
And, of course, we can't forget about the crisis du jour, the automakers… Let's not forget that the government just gave them $25 billion not too long ago. That was a mistake, and "lending" them another $15 billion or letting them turn themselves into banks and exchanging bad loans for good money simply would not have been good for America. The question now is will the current Administration jump in and just give them the money?
Regardless, it's going to be painful and a tough road ahead, just as it would have been regardless. NOW, IF WE CAN ONLY STOP THE INSANITY WITH THE BANKS!
NOT GOOD. On the SPX 3 month, chart below, note that the 840/850 level is a pretty clean break of the bottom light blue line, the bear wedge. The only thing bullish in that is that the 820 area has held so far. Thus, it's still possible to consider an a-b-c in tact, and you could argue that wave 'c' had yet to occur and still is coming. Yeahhhh, okay, it's possible so I'll leave it on the table, but the charts are talking and that's not what I'm hearing. I think when you look at the XLF, the Transports, commercial real estate, the small caps, and tech stocks, the picture look more bearish. The volume pattern is also bearish and note, too, the fresh new sell signal on the daily SPX:
Let's look at the 20 minute SPX below. You can see that we clearly broke the bear wedge and the descent last night stopped at 830, thus NOT breaking the 12/5 low… so if we bounce from here we will have produced a higher low which is bullish, but we'll see. So far it has bounced back up on top of the red down sloping line from September. The stochastic is pretty deeply oversold at this level.
And let's not forget that ominous triangle on the VIX, today's action will plant us further back up into it – scary bearish if that triangle eventually breaks higher.
I did go short yesterday afternoon, I took half profits at the close yesterday and may take some more here, but will be looking at the short side some more, especially if we come back up and "kiss" that blue bear wedge line.
Either way, I still think it's a time to be careful here. Yesterday was the Thursday before options expiration which is next Friday. The rule of alternation (about 70% reliable) says that when Thursday is down, the week of options expiration is up.
Fresh sell signals on all the major indices daily stochastic, fresh buys on the weekly… still cross currents.
Little bit of a bounce going on, the DOW is now down 215, the S&P is at 850.
Have a good a day, and best of luck to your trades,

Morning Update 12/12
Posted byAmy Jamison at6:27 AM

The weather report says that today is hot and humid. High 101° F. Heat index near 110° F. The students of the 2012 Archaeology in Annapolis field school from the University of Maryland know that it will be a sweltering and tiring day as they walk through their morning haze to collect their equipment from storage. They also can't wait to see what they will find today.
Two weeks ago, we were in Annapolis. In view of the Maryland state capitol building, we excavated in three backyards, exploring the connections of past tenants to the Naval Academy and to nineteenth century immigration to the United States. For the second half of the field school, we moved to the Wye House plantation on Maryland's Eastern Shore, home to a line of Edward Lloyds stretching back to the mid-seventeenth century. Here, the students chase the foundation walls of two slave quarters discovered last year.
The site is separated into two parts. The South Long Green is located on the yard of the plantation, within sight of the Great House, and the home of the remains of a two-story brick slave quarter. The East Cove, where the students search for a building called the "Brick Row Quarter" on a historic map, is sheltered by a thicket of trees across the creek from the Long Green.
In running the field school, co-directors Kate Deeley, Ben Skolnik, and I recognize that we must perform a balancing act—prioritizing in turns the education of undergraduate students, our PhD dissertation research, and the communication of information to the public. It is a mixture of a classroom and training grounds. The instruction is as much somatic as it is intellectual, and the students have come a long way in their movements within the units, techniques with the trowel, and familiarity with the artifacts and their significance.
The other element to add to the juggling show is motivation and good spirits, especially on a day like today. The excitement grows as the brick rubble, glass, nails, and ceramic sherds coalesce into interpretations about where these buildings are situated on the landscape and in time. Despite this, the work is hard and the knowledge that Monday will be their last day to dig their units is beginning to settle in. Conversation is informal and playful—ranging from the childhood nostalgia of Pokémon to everyone's top desert-island reading choices—and it helps the buckets of dirt go swiftly by.
After lunch, the students are joined by Dr. Mark Leone and gather on the East Cove for the site seminars, which are held every Friday. The shade of dense trees is a relief. One by one, the crew of each unit describes to the rest of the class the accomplishments and interpretations of that week. Using an extended folding ruler as a pointer, the crewmates take turns to indicate features, explain level changes, and point out soon-to-be-excavated artifacts.
It is a chance not only for the students to connect their unit to the others within the larger landscape, but also to proudly demonstrate their knowledge and achievements. They grow accustomed to fielding questions about the steps they took and the conclusions they continue to draw from their findings. After the students on the East Cove complete their tour, we move across the creek to the South Long Green.
The students applaud their peers and create a rough circle in the shade of a tulip poplar tree. Though the environment is quite different, this is still a college class. There are weekly reading assignments, and each Friday afternoon the students discuss what they have read. The articles for today, focusing on race, class, gender, and identity in historical archaeology, are Barbara Little's "She was… an Example to Her Sex" (1994), Maria Franklin's "The Archaeological Dimensions of Soul Food: Interpreting Race, Culture, and Afro-Virginian Identity" (2001), and Theresa Singleton's "Race, Class, and Identity among Free Blacks in the Antebellum South" (2001). The students direct the conversation, working through the topics of race, critical theory, politics, and the differences between an archaeology of gender and a feminist archaeology.
Like any other class, writing assignments provide a means for the students to individually articulate what they have learned. To balance this academic obligation with the project's emphasis on public outreach, the students contribute to the Archaeology in Annapolis blog. They demonstrate their comprehension of the work they complete in their units while also practicing their abilities to communicate this information to a general audience. Undergraduate Paige Diamond's post, written today, highlights the discovery of the east wall of the two story quarter.
Throughout the day, Ben pulls students aside to pose for "dirty archaeologist portraits." He encourages them to take pride in their sweat-soaked, filthy appearance and take pictures with their field equipment. They take possession of this identity—archaeologists in the field. The portraits show the students as they are now at the end of the field school: trained archaeologists armed with the methods and knowledge that will allow them to contribute a unique perspective to this or any other field.

I enjoy the jQuery-library when I write javascript, so I've added that to BOB. But it slowly became harder to do. So I guess I should share that knowledge.
At first, I just loaded it by adding a <script>-tag to the page with jQuery, and wait till it came available. In the end, this doesn't work because it could take .1 or .2 seconds extra to load. It wasn't really noticable at the start, and it was 1 time per page, but still it's better to fetch it directly.
Then I found out about @Require, which loads the file along with the script when installing, and so it doesn't cost any extra time. So I was satisfied with the result (except that 1 person complained about fetching things from google, the script is hosted there etc.).
After that, 2 problems came up: jQuery 1.4 came out, which did not work fully in greasemonkey, and I tried to make the script work in Chrome, which does not support @Require.
The solution for the latter was to include the jQuery-code in the script itself. It's ugly, but happily it's not too large after minification (script is still smaller now than when I started), and it doesn't complicate anything after that.
The other was to adapt the jQuery code in a specific place.. I chose not to get stuck with an old version, so I get the code, make the modifications and minify it through google closure. With jQuery 1.4.4, there seem to be 3 places the code has to be adjusted now, and I'm wondering if the speedup that came with 1.4 and 1.4.2 is worth making the changes.. In time, I hope a better solution will show up.

- None of the above.
An example: U.S. publicly-traded industrial robotic companies saw their stocks rise 40% in 2009. But those same stocks lost 53% in 2008. Thus their year-to-date rise in 2009 of 40% really only recovered 16 points of the 53 lost the year before. U.S. industrial robotic stocks are still down 37% from their close at the end of 2007 as are almost all robotic stocks worldwide. That is what these Robo-Stox™ charts - one for industrial robotic companies and another for service companies - attempt to show. Click to enlarge.
Most countries' robotics stocks didn't fare as well as the American NASDAQ Index with the exception of Canada, India, Israel, Taiwan and a very few individual stocks. Thus although 2009 was a significant up year for stocks, and robotic stocks in particular, robotic stocks have yet to recover their highs of 2007 and have a long way to go to do so.
The serious effect of the recent worldwide stock market and economic crash causing the drop in market value of the companies, the loss of jobs, orders, revenue and profits - is a long way from recovery. Although jobs in the robotics sector are available for qualified takers, particularly in the service sector, unemployment in general is dramatically high and most economists are predicting that it will be well into 2012 before any real gains occur.
That is not to say that all is pessimistic, particularly for robotic businesses. 2010 looks to be a good year with definite "drivers" effecting selected marketplaces.
Medical robotics (included in the services sector) are poised for many years of rapid growth propelled by:
Worldwide military, police and security agencies are continuing to purchase and invest in R&D for all types of unmanned, remote-operated aerial, underwater and ground robotic devices. More jobs - with the likelihood of continued growth over the next few years.
- Growing patient demand for non-invasive surgery,
- The current effort to reduce hospital costs by increasing productivity through a variety of robotic activities (non-invasive surgery, pill dispensing, materials transfer, lab assistance, etc.),
- Hospitals, which have held back capital purchases (such as Intuitive Surgical's million dollar da Vinci devices) for the past two years, are beginning to reinvest in these types of equipment.
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are now being offered affordable robotic products that haven't been available to them before, first in Europe and Asia, and later in the U.S. Lightweight and easily trainable, these flexible robots are enabling these smaller manufacturers to increase productivity and not have to go off-shore to produce their products.

Highlights from Homecoming Win
W-A-T-C-H Pittsfield Community TV Broadcast
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA – While this afternoon's homecoming-weekend showdown between Williams and Wesleyan was anything but an ordinary game, the now 7-0 Eph went about their business much in the same manner as they have all season, cruising to decisive 45-7 victory over the Cardinals in a game that featured record breaking touchdowns, exciting defensive plays, and a bounty of Eph offense. With the win, the purple have and gold have ensured themselves at least a co-ownership of the 2010 NESCAC championship, as their final remaining opponent, the previously-undefeated Lord Jeffs of Amherst, fell at Trinity today 28-13.
Students, alumni, parents, faculty, and supporters of the purple bubble community arrived in throngs of purple-and-gold -colored paraphernalia to witness the highly-anticipated duel between Wesleyan head coach Mike Whalen--the former Williams head coach of the past six seasons--and his Eph successor, head coach Aaron Kelton. The contest also featured a matchup of former teammates and co-quarterbacks: Eph senior Pat Moffitt and junior transfer Matt Coyne. In both cases, it was the man wearing the purple 'W' who got the better of his respective counterpart. The Williams offense unleashed for 402 total yards, 22 first downs, and 6 touchdowns while the defense limited the Cardinals and their Division III-leading runningback Shea Dwyer to 189 yards and only 60 through the air, forcing a fumble and intercepting a pass in doing so.
When asked how his team was able to handle the swell of mixed emotions, coach Kelton was quick with his answer.
"The main thing was that we stayed focused on the task at hand," he replied. "We didn't look past this week or get caught up in all the peripheral stuff. I told the guys in pregame that if we concentrate on running our scheme and staying engaged on every down that we wouldn't have a problem. Our goal all week was to maintain our composure and our focus come game time and we did a really good job of that."
Moffitt, in what was possibly his most effective game of the year, threw for 292 yards and 4 touchdowns (plus one rushing) on 18 of 25 passing, while Coyne, who shared QB duties with Moffitt last season, went 8 of 15 for 60 yards and one rushing touchdown. Moffitt's first touchdown of the game was his 18th of the season, setting a new record for most touchdowns thrown in a single-season by an Eph, and he put even more distance between himself and the next man on the list with touchdowns 19, 20 and 21. Number 21 was reeled in by sophomore and big-play receiver Darren Hartwell, and that 10-yard score gave him sole possession of the program record for most touchdowns in a single-season with 9.
"It's hard to keep good players down," chuckled Kelton when what he thought of these unprecedented achievements. "That's really what it comes down too. The success we've had on offense this year is a tribute to the talent of guys like Moffitt and Hartwell. Knowing Pat, he'll beat himself up for throwing a pick, but throughout the season he's done a great job moving the football and guys like Darren and J.C. [Stickney] have stepped it up this year and have made big plays for him."
After self-destructive penalties and a stingy Eph run defense the Cardinals to punt on the game's opening possession, it was Hartwell's 33-yard, near-homerun return and junior Stickney's 3rd-down reception that got the offense rolling on the subsequent possession. The Eph quarterback faked the handoff, rolled to his right, and found Stickney in open space for a 17-yard pickup that moved the chains past midfield. Senior runningback Ryan Lupo finished the job five plays later with a 4-yard scamper to shoot Williams ahead early. Junior kicker Chris Cleary's extra-point and the emphatic drum roll of the Williams College marching band punctuated the 7-0 lead.
Wesleyan found itself with a chance to retaliate on the next series, as a missed tackle and a 27-yard sideline snag-and-run by freshman tight end Kevin Hughes advanced the Cardinals the Williams 14-yard line. The opposing offense was once hampered by penalties, however, and after Whalen opted to run on 3rd-and-long, freshman kicker Sebastian Aguirre booted the kick wide from 35 yards out.
Williams looked as they were primed to capitalize on the missed chance, after a pass interference call pushed the marker within striking distance on the next series. It was at this time, however, that Moffitt threw the aforementioned pick, an attempt that was snatched in double coverage by senior Justin Freres. Coyne would trade mistakes with his one-time teammate on the following Cardinal possession, his errant throw landing in the lap of Eph junior Tyler Cole. With a second try at the endzone, Moffitt made sure to get the ball past the plane, using a shifty play-fake to free up senior tri-captain Jon Carroll for the easy 2-yard lob and the record-setting touchdown toss. Cleary stayed true on his second PAT to stretch the lead to 14-0.
Not to be outdone, Coyne would drive his team down the field on the following possession, a series that ended with a dodgy 11-yard scoot across the goal line by the Wesleyan quarterback himself. With 5:50 left in the half, seemed like the Cardinals were going to make it a closer game than the previous 24 minutes might have suggested.
The Eph offense had a narrative in mind though, and they made sure to dampen their competitor's comeback hopes rather quickly in the closing minutes of the second quarter. On the proceeding drive, the Eph offense showcased their capacity for the quick strike, as Moffitt hit Stickney for 25 yards on the first play and junior Thomas Kearney for a 32-yard touchdown on the next. Senior defensive lineman Tim Kiely helped get the ball right back in the hands of the offense on the very next series, when he sacked Coyne for a 6-yard loose and a fumble that was recovered by fellow senior Pat Barren in Wesleyan territory. Moffitt would punch it in on 3rd-and-goal with a 2-yard endzone dive, a tally that placed the Ephs ahead 28-7 at the half.
"Coach Barrale does a great job every week with the offensive gameplan," praised Kelton, "and he prepared the guys very well for this matchup. The same goes for all the coaches on the staff. The reason we are able to manage the game so effectively against tough opponents like Wesleyan is because we have such a strong strategical foundation, one that all our coaches have helped to lay out."
From that point forward, the game was dominated by the Ephs. The home crowd masses cheered on in delight as the purple cows tacked on point after point to their lead. The second half opened with an 18-yard screen pass to rookie back Alex Scyocurka, and tight end Carrol followed that with a 19-yard touchdown grab to make it 35-7 ballgame. After the defense forced a quick three-and-out, Williams marched right back to the red zone, a drive that culminated with Hartwell's record-setting 10-yard touchdown catch. Arguably Moffitt's finest play of the contest came on the next Eph possession. The New Jersey-native scrambled to avoid pressure and received outstanding blocking from his offensive line, enabling him to heave a 34-yard bomb to a leaping Stickney, who did well to haul it in despite tight man-coverage. This set-up a 32-yard field goal by senior Jeff Lauer, a kick that tied the bow on the 45-7 homecoming win.
With homecoming behind them, the Ephmen will travel to Amherst next Saturday for the game that will decide which Little Three archrival will claim the title of 2010 conference champion. Fittingly, Williams is in position to reenact what the Lord Jeffs did to them last season: complete an undefeated season and seize sole possession of the league crown at the other's homecoming event.
"This was our goal all season and now we've reached another milestone with an amazing homecoming win," reflected Kelton. "At the same time, it certainly won't matter as much if we don't take care of business next week at Amherst. We will need our senior leadership to set the example and carry this team in that game if we want to reach our mark of 8-0.
"Today was Game 7, and next week is Game 8," he summarized. "That's how we've approached it all season. If we continue to rely on that mentality, I'm confident we can return home champions."

Slow and steady
growth wins the race
Despite a few challenges, experts say the region is on pace for a positive year in 2016. Six sectors of the north country's economy are ripe with opportunities for growth.
By Karee Magee, NNY Business
A grim fate cast a pall over the north country in early 2015, as federal budget sequestration threatened to cut up to 16,000 personnel from Fort Drum in an effort by the army to trim its active duty force from 490,000 to 450,000 by fiscal year 2017. [Read more…]

NEW YORK (AP) — Is Target's grocery aisle ready for its close up?
Target is pushing its food, laundry detergent and other groceries in a national ad campaign that pokes fun at high-fashion advertising by featuring models interacting with everyday products.
In one ad, a model in a white dress and high heels struts by blueberry muffin and cake mix boxes that explode in different colors. Then she crushes an egg with her hand.
"Dominate that PTA bake sale," a voiceover whispers. "The Everyday Collection. By Target."
The campaign is part of a larger move by Target, better known for its cheap-chic clothing and home goods, to focus more on its grocery-store aisle. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other Target competitors also have been expanding their selection of groceries to lure more customers into stores.
For its part, Target has been expanding its grocery selection, particularly with investments in its "P-Fresh" fresh-food section. Out of its 1,782 stores, about 1100 have an expanded fresh food layout and more than 250 have a full grocery store.
With that push complete, Target decided the time was right to put the focus on its groceries, but in a way that still plays on Target's fashion know how, said chief marketing officer Jeff Jones.
Target, with ad agency Mono in Minneapolis, created the tongue-in-cheek campaign that treats groceries and home products like fashion accessories in a photo shoot. Spending is undisclosed on the ad campaign, but it will include eight TV ads that will run throughout 2013. In addition to TV spots and newspaper inserts, it will include eight TV spots, three radio ads, and digital short films that will run as banner ads online.
One TV ad shows an $11.99 bottle of Tide laundry detergent and a model in a white dress dancing fancifully.
"We all yearn for something," says a voiceover as bubbles float by the model. "And that something is the other sock."
The campaign "creates a foil for what people are used to seeing for grocery advertising," said Jones. "It combines the design ethos and fashion creditability that Target has with the idea that it also has great grocery items at a great price."
Target's ad campaign comes as the retailer faces some challenges.
On Thursday, Target reported that revenue at stores open at least one year was flat in December — a key holiday sales period. The company, based in Minneapolis, blamed the decline in part on weakness in sales of merchandise such as furniture and electronics.
Target, which has been successful in the past by pairing up with upscale designers who create lines of products that it can sell for a limited time, also recently was dinged by bad publicity for its collaboration with posh retailer Neiman Marcus. The line debuted Dec. 1 and included 50 products from 24 designers, including a $70 Marc Jacobs scarf and a $500 Alice + Olivia bike.
But the merchandise was criticized for being too expensive, among other things, and all remaining items in that collection were marked down 70 percent off on Jan. 1. That's quite a reversal from its Missoni collection a year ago, which was so popular demand caused Target's Web site to crash.

So, do you remember that time when you did one too many hits off the gravity bong and you decided to a walk outside to get some fresh air, but then you bugged out and ran back inside because you thought you saw a priest being carried away by a bunch of helium party balloons?
In Brazil, well, that shit happens all the time. And sometimes, it ends tragically.
Roman Catholic Rev. Adelir Antonio de Carli has been missing since Sunday, when he lifted off from the port city of Paranagua wearing a helmet, an aluminum thermal flight suit, waterproof coveralls and a parachute. He was seeking to break a record for the longest time in-flight with helium-filled party balloons.
Sometimes life is just one big Benny Hill episode. And, yes, those are his balloons that were found floating in the ocean. Somebody better grab them before some seagulls choke.

DEBORAH'S CHOICE: Deborah Needleman finally has her style director for T: The New York Times Style Magazine in Kate Lanphear, the former Elle style director who recently vied for her new boss' old job at WSJ. magazine.
Lanphear, easily recognizable for her asymmetric tress, is American-born but started out at Australian fashion magazines before returning Stateside to work at Harper's Bazaar. She was promoted to style director at Elle in 2008 shortly after Nina Garcia left the magazine. Last year, she got restless and was one of many candidates trying to succeed Needleman at WSJ. When that didn't work out — The Wall Street Journal instead picked a neighbor at Hearst Tower, Kristina O'Neill, the former executive editor of Harper's Bazaar — Lanphear was followed by persistent rumors she'd eventually land at T. She left Elle in November and has been around and about since — insiders speculate to finish up conflicting freelance styling projects that would be verboten at the Times.
Lanphear's hire, effective immediately, was confirmed by the Times Monday afternoon after it broke on social media. Already Monday, Lanphear was making the rounds at the pre-fall shows with Needleman.

LOS ANGELES (AP) LeBron James had 39 points and eight assists, Dwyane Wade added 27 points on his 31st birthday and the Miami Heat held off the Los Angeles Lakers 99-90 Thursday night to finish their six-game road trip with three wins.
Ray Allen scored seven of his nine points in the final 5 minutes as the defending NBA champions repelled a late charge by the Lakers, who lost for the seventh time in nine games.
Kobe Bryant scored 13 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter for Los Angeles, which rallied for a brief lead midway through the final period before James and Allen secured the Heat's second win in their last eight road games against the Lakers.
LONDON (AP) - Carmelo Anthony returned to the site of his Olympic triumph and scored 26 points to lead New York over Detroit.
Anthony had 18 in the first half as the Knicks (25-13) jumped out to a 16-2 lead before holding a double-digit lead for most of the game.
Amare Stoudemire added 17 points for the Knicks and J.R. Smith scored 16. Will Bynum led the Pistons with 22 points.
The Pistons (14-25) were the home team at the O2 Arena in London, the site of the Olympic gold-medal game during last year's London Games. It was the third regular-season NBA game played at the venue, where the then-New Jersey Nets swept the Toronto Raptors in a pair of games two years ago.
Anthony and Knicks teammate Tyson Chandler were on the team that celebrated a gold medal for the United States with a win over Spain in August. Chandler scored 10 points on Thursday and pulled down 14 rebounds.
Anthony has at least 20 points in 25 straight games, extending the longest streak of his career.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Jamal Crawford scored 22 points, Blake Griffin added 20 and Los Angeles hardly broke a sweat in cruising past free-falling Minnesota.
Lamar Odom grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out six assists, and the Clippers outscored Minnesota's bench 45-23 to overcome Chris Paul's third straight missed game because of a knee injury.
Luke Ridnour scored 21 points and Ricky Rubio had four points and six assists in his first start of the season for the Timberwolves, who lost leading scorer and rebounder Nikola Pekovic to a bruised right quadriceps in the third quarter.
The Timberwolves shot just 35.7 percent and missed 15 of their 19 3-pointers in losing their fifth straight game.
PHOENIX (AP) - Mike Dunleavy hit a 3-pointer with 57.4 seconds left to cap a 10-0 run and Milwaukee pulled away to snap a 24-game losing streak in Phoenix.
Monta Ellis scored 24 points and Larry Sanders added 19, while Dunleavy and Brandon Jennings had 16 apiece for the Bucks, who had not won in the Valley since Feb. 21, 1987, at the old Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Milwaukee has won four of six since interim coach Jim Boylan replaced Scott Skiles on Jan. 8.
Shannon Brown scored 20 points off the bench for the Suns, who have lost four straight at home for the first time since 2004 and have dropped 13 of 15 overall.

Nile Ranger has been charged with common assault, police have said.
The 21-year-old, who left Newcastle United by mutual consent a fortnight ago, was arrested after police received reports of a fight between a couple in Newcastle city centre on Wednesday evening.
The London-born former England under-19 player was held after an alleged assault in the car park of The Gate entertainment complex.
Earlier a Northumbria Police spokesman said: "At 7.09pm yesterday evening police received a report of a fight in the car park area at The Gate, Newcastle. A 21-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of assault and he is currently in custody helping police with inquiries."
A force spokesman said later that Ranger will appear before Newcastle Magistrates' Court on Friday.

Via Breitbart:
Mark E. Kelly, gun-control proponent and husband to former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, recently purchased an AR-15 (an "assault weapon," he called it)—which he now says he intended as an illustration of the need for more stringent gun laws.
Kelly reportedly bought the AR-15 and a 1911-style semi-automatic pistol at Diamondback Police Supply in Tucson, Arizona.
Various sources contacted Breitbart News once Kelly made the purchase, and after we began investigating the details surrounding the purchase, Kelly announced on his Facebookthat he was not going to keep the AR-15, which he has yet to pick up from the store.

text: 9A1A6710 Kathakali and Kutiyattam, is a form of theatre performed in the state of Kerala, India. It is believed to be 2,000 years old. It is officially recognized by UNESCO as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Access to performances was originally restricted owing to their sacred nature. The performances are based on themes from Hindu mythology. Kathakali performers do not speak. They use only (24) hand gestures and a series of nine facial expressions, also known as Navarasam. The makeup is more like a mask than traditional make-up. For the performers, his hands are his words and his face and his eyes are his emotions. The actor come on stage in front of everybody to do the makeup. Emotion is the heart of Kathakali and the engine room of the drama. There is no element of Kathakali that is not driven by emotion. Kathakali is able to unite with the very core of our understanding and generate a connection with the most basic of our instincts, the desire to create, explore the unknown and express what we find with others. Kathakali will survive the changes of time because emotion is the foundation on which we progress as a civilisation. Kalamandalam Barbara Vijayakumar

When this photograph was captured this morning at 1:57 a.m. local Louisiana time, Hurricane Isaac had already made landfall once. The powerful storm had met with Plaquemines Parish, LA at 6:45 the night before, just west of the mouth of the Mississippi River, before marching slowly west, making landfall a second time near Port Fourchon, LA just minutes after this photograph was taken.
This stunning nighttime view of Isaac was captured by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite onboard NASA's Suomi-NPP satellite. It's a remarkable photograph (one that really deserves to be seen at full resolution), and a hair-raising reminder of how awesomely powerful nature can be.
As of this posting, Isaac has been downgraded to tropical storm status, having spent much of last night, this morning and early afternoon ravaging the gulf as a category I hurricane, with sustained winds in excess of 75 miles-per-hour. Though wind-speeds have decreased considerably, the storm still poses a significant threat to those in its path. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of Louisianans are still without power, and regions of the state remain underwater.

The Flagler name has long been associated with great music. Henry and Mary Lily Flagler frequently hosted musical performances in Whitehall's elaborate Music Room furnished with a 1,249 pipe J.H. & C.S. Odell & Co. organ and a Steinway upright piano. Flagler's son, Henry Harkness Flagler, was chairman of the New York Philharmonic Society. One of Flagler's granddaughters, Jean Flagler Matthews, founded the Flagler Museum, restored Whitehall's elaborate Odell organ and in 1969 brought the New York Philharmonic, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, to South Florida for a Museum benefit concert. Another of Flagler's granddaughters, Mary Flagler Cary, amassed a large collection of original music manuscripts now at the Morgan Library.
The association between the Flagler name and great music continues today in the form of the Flagler Museum Music Series, making it possible to experience chamber music, as it was intended, in the gracious and intimate setting of the Museum's West Room. Regularly featured on National Public Radio, the Flagler Museum Music Series features acclaimed musicians performing music composed prior to 1930 in what critics have described as the finest chamber music venue in South Florida. Audience members are treated to a rare opportunity to meet performers during a champagne & dessert reception following each concert.
The 2019 Series includes concerts by: Delphi Trio (January 8), The Mesa-Yakushev Duo (January 22), Gryphon Trio (February 5), Akropolis Reed Quintet (February 19), Thalea Quartet (March 5). Tickets are $70 each. A 2019 Music Series ticket is available for $300 for all five concerts.

USB storage device is not detected by FRITZ!Box
The FRITZ!Box does not detect a USB storage device. After connecting it to the FRITZ!Box, the USB storage device is either not displayed at all under "Home Network > USB / Storage" in the user interface, or it is displayed as an "unknown" device.
Simply proceed as described below. After each measure, check whether the problem is solved.
Note:All instructions on configuration and settings given in this guide refer to the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box.
1 Restarting the FRITZ!Box
Restart the FRITZ!Box while the USB storage device is connected to it:
- Click "System" in the FRITZ!Box user interface.
- Click "Backup" in the "System" menu.
- Click on the "Restart" tab.
- Click the "Restart" button.
2 Installing the latest FRITZ!OS for the FRITZ!Box
- Install the latest FRITZ!OS on the FRITZ!Box.
3 Checking whether the USB storage device is working properly
- For testing purposes, connect the USB storage device to a USB port on your computer.
- If the computer also does not recognize the USB storage device, then either the USB storage device or the USB cable is defective. In this case, contact the manufacturer.
4 Connecting the USB storage device directly to the FRITZ!Box
The following step is only necessary if the USB storage device is connected to the FRITZ!Box via a USB hub:
- For testing purposes, connect the USB storage device directly to the FRITZ!Box (i.e. without a USB hub).
- If the USB storage device is now detected, then the USB hub is defective or it does not support the USB storage device you connected.
5 Using an external power supply
The FRITZ!Box supplies USB devices with up to 500 mA in accordance with the USB specification. Perform the following step if the USB storage device's power consumption exceeds this:
Note:USB hard drives larger than 2.5" in size typically require more than 500 mA and often come with Y cables that can provide power through two USB ports. However, they can still often be used on a single USB port because many computers are equipped with USB ports that supply more than 500 mA.
- If a power adapter was included with your USB storage device, use the USB storage device's power adapter to plug it in.
- If a power adapter was not included, use a USB hub with its own power adapter (active USB hub) to connect the USB storage device to the FRITZ!Box.
