Keitai KunKun have developed "smell tones" as the next-gen ringtone. Using the these smell tones, you simply set up the enclosed liquid to hang off your phone. When you get a call or message, instead of a ring, you can get a smell alerting you to pick up your phone. I don't see how this could be useful when your phone is shoved in your pants and your jeans start to reek of Doraemon-scent after awhile. However if multiple scents could be used, it'd be genius. When your girlfriend calls, a perfume scent could eject and if it's your buddy, the stench of warm beer could emit slowly from the phone. They're retailing in Japan for 1980 Yen a pop or about $17 here and come in scents like Hello Kitty, Disney, and Doraemon. What, no Transformers motor oil scent? What gives?!

Research and Development
Background on Disease Markers
Crohn's disease is a chronic, autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation of the digestive tract, also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Chronic, unmanaged inflammation can lead to a variety of symptoms. Researchers have also discovered genetic variations in certain regions of chromosome 5 and chromosome 10 that appear to contribute to Crohn disease risk. One area of chromosome 5, known as the IBD5 locus, contains several genetic changes that may increase the risk of developing this condition. Other regions of chromosome 5 and chromosome 10 identified in studies of Crohn disease risk are known as "gene deserts" because they include no known genes. The SNP's that are associated with this disease are rs11805303, rs10210302, rs9858542 in the BSN gene, rs17234657, rs1000113, rs10761659 and many more.- www.snpedia.com

"TMI" doesn't strike me as an "adults only" warning so much as an "I didn't want to know that" warning. If he were concerned about younger readers, I would expect a "NSFW", even though that actually refers to workplace-appropriateness.
Yes, but in context the information that he was fearing he might be divulging too much of was of an adult nature. Also, I needed a segue into what I wanted to talk about.

The Tech 10: Wal-Mart Goes DRM-Free, MTV and RealNetworks Confront iTunes and a 'Moviestar' Is Born
Note: John Paczkowski is on vacation and won't be writing or posting videos until he returns Monday.
To keep you abreast of tech news while he's away, we're compiling a daily digest of 10 must-read tech stories. We're calling it the Tech 10 and it appears below.
- Retailing behemoth Wal-Mart will sell digital-music downloads on its Web site without copy protection, Reuters reports. The so-called digital-rights management software insisted on by some record labels can stymie where the average user plays the songs.
- Taking on the juggernaut of iTunes, MTV and RealNetworks are forming an online digital music venture called Rhapsody America. According to The Wall Street Journal, Verizon Wireless has signed on as mobile distributor of the joint content.
- Adobe Systems' warhorse Flash Player is getting a makeover named "Moviestar." The update, says InfoWorld's Paul Krill, will bring high-definition video technology to downloads, affording clearer and smoother playback of images.
- Increasingly popular online video site Metacafe got a shot in the arm in the form of $30 million in financing. VentureBeat reports that the latest cash infusion was led by new investors Highland Capital Partners and DAG Ventures.
- Acknowledging it did bad (though not evil), Google announced last night that it would make credit-card refunds, rather than Google Checkout credits, to those owed after the company terminated its download-to-own/rent service of Google Videos. PC Magazine disclosed that the search giant will also allow users an additional six months to watch the videos they have already downloaded.
- Fretting over security and productivity concerns, half of all companies in a recent survey are blocking employees' access to Facebook. The poll of 600 workers by online security firm Sophos also found that two-thirds of all employees believe their colleagues are revealing too much information on the social-networking site, exposing them to cybercriminals bent on data theft and their companies to network hackers.
- Bebo, the U.K.-centric social-networking site, has announced a partnership with Microsoft on a new instant-messaging service. According to Webware, the Windows Live Messenger hookup is only that–and not a signal of any impending acquisition.
- Joining the social-networking parade, online business network CollectiveX has launched Groupsites. According to Michael Arrington of TechCrunch, the new product opens up the buttoned-down service to allow users to create social profiles as well.
- Upping the ante in the competition for giving laptop users more memory, Toshiba announced today that it will release a 320-gigabyte hard drive for its laptops by the end of the year. According to IDG News Service, for users of multimedia laptops–where storing video is paramount–the extra space will come as a welcome feature.
- In a bow to color choice and the sexes, researchers have found that there's truth in the the time-honored (if sexist) adage that girls like pink, boys like blue. Reporting on a study from two scientists at Newcastle University, the Independent did not confirm whether the findings were borne out in colors chosen by men and women for iPod skins.

Messthetics' first Scottish installment focuses on a brief, intense scene of ardently independent bands who got started rubbing shoulders with 1977 punk then paid no attention at all to London after that. (London returned the favor.) The sound was based on guitars of all sorts, ingeniously skewed melodies and unashamed local accents. Naturally, it all fell apart as soon as "The Sound of Young Scotland" became a marketable commodity, but they left behind a rich cache of lost 'alternative' hits. Plenty of 'traditional' D.I.Y., too…
24 songs on the CD plus nine bonus MP3 tracks. 90 minutes of music.
24-page booklet, lovingly documented with histories & photos galore.
Messthetics #105 features rarities by the Fire Engines, Scrotum Poles, 35mm Dreams, The Exile, Commercials, Fakes, Metropak, Tony Pilley, Visitors, Article 58, Radio Ghosts, Rapid Dance, Strutz, Vertical Smiles, Restricted Code, Brills, Rhythm Method, He's Dead Jim, Paul Reekie, and Friction.
Unreleased first recordings by The Dirty Reds [who became the Fire Engines], 35mm Dreams, Jazzateers, International Spys [pre-Radio Ghosts, Wee Cherubs, Bachelor Pad] and Edinburgh's legendary Ettes. Plus other never-before-released material from the Scrotum Poles, Commercials, Tony Pilley, Article 58, Radio Ghosts, Vertical Smiles, and Restricted Code…

Brattleboro considering relocating housing after flood
Officials look for other options
It could be several years before officials decide what to do about 152 housing units for the elderly and disabled in two Brattleboro complexes after some of the units in one center were damaged by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene and the other center had to be evacuated.
The Melrose Place and Hayes Court Site Alternatives Study Redevelopment Committee was formed shortly after heavy rains from last year's Tropical Storm Irene damaged 60 of the 80 units at Melrose Place and required the evacuation of Hayes Court.
At a meeting on Thursday, officials looking for alternative locations whittled a list of 24 potential properties down to seven.
The Brattleboro Reformer reports three of the properties included those already owned by the Brattleboro Housing Authority - Melrose Terrace, Hayes Court and Moore Court.
Ultimately, Adam Hubbard, a project manager and landscape architect with Stevens and Associates, the firm selected to handle the project, said the replacement housing project will require at least three or four locations to accommodate Brattleboro's aging population and the lack of affordable housing caused by the flood and the fire at the Brooks House in April 2011.

As you age, your nutritional needs change. Age related changes can affect how a body processes food, which in turn influences your dietary requirements and appetite. The following are some of these important changes:
Digestive System: As you age, your body produces less of the fluids necessary for proper digestion, making food absorption more difficult. This is why B6 and B12 supplements, as well as folic acid are critical for seniors.
Appetite: As you age, you may be prescribed different medications. These medications may affect your appetite.
Metabolism: Age slows down your metabolism. Seniors also tend to slow down exercise routines, which slows down metabolism further. The fewer calories burned, the less calorie intake is required. Seniors are encouraged to consume food that is as nutrient-rich as possible and maintain a good level of exercise.
Emotional Health: Last but not least, elderly loved ones face many different situations, including physical issues, loss of friends, spouse, job, and these changes may result in depression, which in turn reduces appetite.
Many diseases prevalent in the elderly population can be prevented by senior care and proper nutrition. Nutritional intervention can also prevent hospitalization—malnutrition is one of the major reasons seniors suffer health problems.
Senior care and senior home care experts can help prepare small, healthy meals for your loved one at home. If your loved one is unable to shop for and prepare healthy food for himself or herself regularly, senior care providers can provide the necessary assistance, as well as help with other activities of daily living. Although in some cases, individuals require specific solutions to dietary needs, there are certain general guidelines that should be considered by all.
Senior Care Nutritional Guidelines:
Have your loved one drink plenty of water.
Stick to healthy fats.
Include whole grains in your diet.
Include foods high in fiber.
Include high amounts of calcium.
Ensure your loved one has a proper intake of B12.
Although getting older is inevitable, it's possible to slow down the aging process and improve the quality of life of senior folks. Senior care and senior home care providers can help this process by promoting healthy eating. Remember to schedule regular physical exams and consultations for your loved one as well.
National Institute of Aging's Daily Suggestions for Seniors:
Fruit: 1.5-2.5 cups
Meat and Beans: 5-7 ounces
Grain: 5-10 ounces
Vegetables: 2-3.5 cups
Oil: 6 teaspoons
DASH Diet Daily Requirements: (Heart Healthy Plan for Seniors with High Blood Pressure)
Grains: 7-8 oz
Meat and Beans: 6 ounces or less of meat, fish, or chicken – 4-5 servings of seeds, nuts, and/or dried beans per week.
Vegetables: 2-2.5 cups
Fruit: 2-2.5 cups
Oil: 2 teaspoons
Senior care and senior home care providers can help your loved one by preparing nutritional meals on a regular basis, taking specialty concerns into account, including medical problems and diabetes. Senior care allows aging loved ones to remain safely in their homes as long as possible—caregivers visit as needed and take care of everyday services, including cleaning, running errands, stocking the fridge, and meal preparation. These small steps can ease the burden on your loved one and make a big difference in their quality of life.

Farmers in Training
May 28, 2009 at 1:32 am 1 comment
It was mid-August, just weeks before the peak tomato harvesting season, when I visited Michael Grady Robertson last year at the Queens County Farm Museum, a 47-acre working historical farm in Floral Park, Queens. Robertson was bracing for a bumper crop. He expected to harvest more than 1,000 pounds of tomatoes a week.
Dressed in a snug T-shirt and jeans, his hair cropped tight, he almost passed for James Dean. He strode along the penthouse-size pens of pigs, goats and sheep, reflecting on the goals he sought to achieve as the farm's recently hired full-time supervisor. Aside from increasing agricultural production, he wanted to implement the highest standards of organic farming practices for fields and livestock and create an environment where animals could be "happiest and healthiest in." In addition, he wanted to become a long-term resource for people who wanted to transition into farming from city jobs.
"I want to be here years and years and years," said the Kansas City native, a resident of Green Point, Brooklyn.
For Robertson, 33, a philosophy major from Boston University, the position at the Queens County Farm Museum was the culmination of a string of volunteer jobs and apprenticeships on farms in the U.S. and abroad, including a nine-month "labor of love" in a rural community in Guatemala.
"It's by far the most rewarding," said Robertson of his job as farm supervisor.
Robertson followed the path that many recent college grads are taking to explore their vocation for farming. Many are working as summer interns or apprentices on farms, some even dropping out of school to work as farmhands.
According to the Northeast Small Farm Institute, a non-profit that runs an apprenticeship and other programs for aspiring farmers, the number of young adults applying for farm apprenticeships is on the rise. Last year, 60 people applied to the institute's NEWOOF apprenticeship program, up from 36 the previous year.
Having learned the ropes of organic farming, Robertson is now at a point where he can train and educate others. Soon after he joined the farm in February 2008, he hired a farm assistant, Keha McIlwaine, a Bed-Stuy resident originally from Utah who one day would like to have her own farm. McIlwaine, 26, plants, harvests, weeds, irrigates and does all the "basic farming things." She dropped out of college when she realized that she wanted to study agriculture and the school didn't offer any courses. Since then, she's been "learning farming by doing it."
"All young people thought they were growing up at the end of the world," she said reflecting on the issues that influenced her generation. "We were looking for alternative ways of doing things." With farming, people can put lost skills and knowledge to use, so that "everyone knows how to shear a sheep or plant a garden," she said. "We've lost so much of that common knowledge."
To Robertson's deep satisfaction, the farm is quickly becoming a "go to" place for urbanites who want to learn about organic farming or think they might want to farm. Robertson reports that people — restaurateurs especially — often approach him for opportunities to work or volunteer on the farm to "see what it takes" — physically, intellectually, financially, and emotionally — to be a farmer.
As farm production expands, Robertson hopes to have a small seasonal apprentice-like program. "I would like to expand to the point where I need three, four, five dedicated people who want to do this with their life," he said.
Competition for choice farm apprenticeships is as fierce as the battle to be the next Apprentice or American Idol. McIlwaine lined up several farming gigs through Willing Workers on Organic Farms – WOOF – an international organization that gives participants room and board on organic farms in exchange for their help. After "woofing" for a while, she worked on farms in Vermont, California, Spain and Argentina.
Her experiences helped her confirm her life's calling. "I can't imagine doing anything else," she said of farming.
Neither can Robertson. When I left him that mid-August day, he was planning ahead, thinking way beyond the upcoming tomato season. He stood in a field of mixed crops, – the "night shades" – tomatoes, peppers and eggplants – plucking hot peppers into a white bucket. The peppers fell in one by one under a gentle noonday sun.
"We'll hang them in one of the wings of the greenhouse to dry," Robertson said holding out the bucket. "We'll have dried hot peppers to sell at the Greenmarket."

McCarthy set for Triple-A rehab assignment
Andrew Owens is an associate reporter for MLB.com. Follow him on Twitter @OwensAndrew.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Brandon McCarthy took the next step toward returning to the D-backs on Friday when he threw a bullpen session at the club's Spring Training complex in Scottsdale, Ariz. He is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Sunday.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said McCarthy will throw in two games while on his rehab assignment, if all goes as planned.
"He's gotten real good reports," Gibson said. "I haven't been able to watch him."
McCarthy, who threw a simulated game Sunday, was placed on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation June 1. It marked his second injury stint due to a shoulder issue in as many seasons.
He is 2-4 with a 5.00 ERA in 11 starts with the D-backs this season.

A form designed to provide the information needed to complete PPQ Forms 577 , 578, and 579, and to serve as a worksheet for the certifying official conducting the inspection. Although this form is required by regulation, in practice, alternative methods are used to obtain the necessary information for inspection and certification. When a PPQ Form 572, is used by an exporter as an application, the exporter should complete only the description of consignment section. Certifying officials should carefully check that extraneous information was not included on the form by the exporter.
PPQ Form 576 , Attachment Sheet for PPQ Form 577 or PPQ Form 579. Instructions for PPQ Form 576.
The "Attachment Sheet for PPQ Form 577 or PPQ Form 579, PPQ Form 576 is used when the required information for phytosanitary certification does not fit on the original certificate. PPQ Form 576 can only include information that would normally be included on a phytosanitary certificate. The attachment sheet will be referenced on the corresponding phytosanitary certificate.
PPQ Form 577 , View the Phytosanitary Certificate
The Phytosanitary Certificate, PPQ Form 577, is used to certify that the domestic plants or plant products have been inspected according to appropriate procedures, and they are considered to be free from quarantine pests, practically free from other injurious pests, and conform to the current phytosanitary regulations of the importing country.
The PPQ Form 577 can also be used for foreign origin commodities that are being re-exported from the U.S. when a certificate was not required for the commodity to make entry into the United States. The foreign origin will be listed in the Place of Origin block on the phytosanitary certificate.
PPQ Form 578 , View an Export Certificate
The Export Certificate, Processed Plant Products, PPQ Form 578 is used to certify approved processed products. This export certificate affirms that, based on inspection or processing, the product is believed to be free from injurious plant pests. Moreover, issue a PPQ Form 578 only for articles specified in PExD. Never issue this form for an article that warrants a PPQ Form 577.
PPQ Form 579 , View a Phytosanitary Certificate for Reexport
The Phytosanitary Certificate for Reexport, PPQ Form 579, certifies that, based on the original foreign phytosanitary certificate and/or an additional inspection, the plants or plant products officially entered the United States, are considered to conform to the current phytosanitary regulations of the importing country, and have not been subjected to the risk of infestation of infection during storage in the United States.
Shipments of plants and plant products transiting the United States under Customs' bond are not eligible for reexport certification. Such shipments should be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin if certification is required by the destination country.

The Bethlehem Area School Board on Monday awarded contracts totaling $81.8 million to general construction, electrical, plumbing and mechanical contractors for work at Liberty and Freedom high schools.
With architectural fees, financing and other expenses, the project costs total $65.1 million for Liberty and $30.4 million for Freedom. Original estimates were $60.2 million for Liberty and $20.7 million for Freedom.
Liberty's general construction contract generated only two bidders. A $7.7 million gap between the bids alarmed the losing bidder, Skepton Construction of Pennsburg, enough to call a school board member at home.
School Director Loretta Leeson said Frank Skepton, whose company had the winning bid for the Freedom project, questioned the legitimacy of the winning bid for Liberty's general construction contract because the other company's prices were so much lower.
Boro Construction offered a $35 million bid including the accepted alternates for Liberty's renovation and expansion. Skepton's total bid for Liberty was more than 20 percent higher.
A woman answering the phone at Skepton Construction on Tuesday said the owner wasn't available.
Leeson said she was also contacted by a roofer about the bidding process.
"I'm somewhat troubled that a contractor contacted a board member directly," said Superintendent Joseph Lewis. "Frankly, Boro substantiated that they met every requirement of the bid process. I put trust in our engineering firm that the bidding is correct and that everything is sound."
Leeson said she disagreed that the phone calls were inappropriate.
"We're the ones awarding this contract," she said. "For people in our community to contact us, that is one of the reasons we are on this board."
The original estimates for both projects were adjusted several million dollars higher over the past year to account for inflation, rising prices for steel and cement, and unexpected sinkholes, said Arif Fazil of D'Huy Engineering, the district's engineer.
The district plans to renovate 364,475 square feet at Liberty and add 118,150 square feet. Most of the new space will be a student activity center.
The Freedom project involves renovating 262,561 square feet and adding 113,750 square feet.
Freedom's addition, which will include a gym that can hold 2,500 people, a bigger cafeteria and 16 classrooms, also will bump out Freedom's front door so it is flush with the rest of the building.
The district took out a $55 million bond issue this year and committed to borrowing another $55 million in 2007 for the high school renovations. Whatever is left over will go toward building a new Broughal Middle School.
For the Freedom project, contracts were awarded to: Skepton Construction, $18.4 million for general construction; Worth & Co. of Pipersville, $3.9 million for heating, ventilation and air conditioning; Albarell Electric of Bethlehem, $2.8 million for electrical work; Jay R. Reynolds of Willow Street, $1.4 million for plumbing.
Contracts for Liberty were awarded to: Boro Construction of King of Prussia, Montgomery County, $35 million for general construction; Dual Temp Co. of Allentown, $10.6 million for HVAC and $4 million for plumbing; and Albarell Electric, $5.9 million for electrical.
Contracts for asbestos removal were awarded to Sargent Enterprises of Jim Thorpe for Liberty, for $377,000; and Power Component Systems of Harrisburg for Freedom, for $33,000.
Construction is scheduled to begin in summer. The two projects will run simultaneously.

Battery Simulation Propels Electric Cars in ChinaDr. Songrui Wang
Tianjin Institute of Power Sources, Tianjin, China
Dr. Songrui Wang is a researcher at The Tianjin Institute of Power Sources, involved in battery testing and evaluation for design recommendations on safety. She analyzes the risk of potential fire hazards associated with lithium ion batteries, which are fast becoming the most popular sort of battery for vehicles, mobile devices, and many other applications.
COMSOL Multiphysics was used to create models that simulate the thermal behavior of lithium-ion cells under adiabatic conditions, coupling heat transfer to the electrochemical reactions. The models save both the institute's and their partners' money by replacing the costs of running hundreds of dangerous and tedious experiments, and also saved time in the analysis of designs. Dr. Wang's analyses allow her to optimize cell geometry and study the thermal behavior of materials, allowing her to understand the cells' safety aspects and to promote awareness.

Epithelial cells are polarized in multiple ways. Apical-basolateral polarity (perpendicular to the plane of the epithelial sheath) enables a cell to directionally transport molecules across a cell layer (e.g. in the gut, kidney and glands) and selectively secrete extracellular matrix components to form a basal lamina. To perform many of their functions, epithelia frequently also have to be polarized within the plane of the epithelium. The latter polarization is commonly referred to as epithelial planar cell polarity (PCP) or tissue polarity and allows a cell to form structures that require not only positional, but also vectorial information.
The cellular consequences of PCP signaling range from coordinated organization of cytoskeletal elements in single cells to complex migration of groups of cells. Examples of PCP in vertebrates can be very obvious, as in the ordered arrangement of scales on fish, feathers of birds, and hairs of mammalian skin. Less visible examples are the cilia of the respiratory tract and oviduct as well as the stereocilia of the sensory epithelium of the organ of Corti in the vertebrate inner ear. Aberrant PCP of the sensory epithelium in the organ of Corti leads to deafness. Furthermore, the complicated movement of mesenchymal cells during gastrulation (called convergent extension) that leads to the elongation and thinning of the body axis also depends on correct PCP signaling.
PCP signaling is, however, best studied in Drosophila melanogaster, mainly because of the versatility of the fly as model system. In Drosophila, PCP can easily be seen on several external adult structures such as the bristles on the thorax or the precisely aligned hairs on wing cells. In addition, the facet eye also shows characteristics of PCP with its precise arrangement of each building block, the ommatidium, with respect to each other and the general axes in each eye. Genetic and molecular studies in Drosophila led to the identification of a signaling network – the non-canonical Frizzled-PCP pathway – directing PCP establishment. In recent years it has become apparent that the PCP signaling module is highly conserved from insects to ascidians and mammals and is one of the most exciting topics of developmental biology today.
Interests of the lab:
Due to the available tools and the possibility to use a combination of genetic and biochemical approaches, Drosophila is ideally suited to further dissect the PCP pathway and define its relationship to the cytoskeleton.My lab is particularly interested in how the Fz-adapter protein Dsh is regulated by phosphorylation. We have identified candidate kinases and a phosphatase in a systematic molecular screen based on RNAi. Current projects further address the functional relevance of these kinases in vitro and in vivo using genetic and immunohistochemical tools.
We also study two additional kinases, Nemo and Rho kinase that have previously been shown to be required for the migration aspect of PCP establishment (and – in case of Rock – also for tumor cell migration). We have systematically identified targets of Nemo and Rock and use genetic and molecular approaches to integrate these substrates into the PCP signaling pathway and cell migration in general.
It is our goal to use Drosophila as model system to address fundamental questions that are relevant for diseases and development in general.

"We thank God that two years ago the Cooperative Program stopped its declination at 5.41 percent and last year rose for the first time in two decades to 5.50 percent," Page said.
The Cooperative Program is Southern Baptists' way of combining resources to finance ministry worldwide.
"I like to say to pastors young and old, 'If you know a better way, let me know. I'll support it. I'll drop the Cooperative Program if you can show me something else that long-term is effective and engages every church concurrently and consistently in an Acts 1:8 strategy. Show it to me, and I'll support it. I'll drop Cooperative Program,'" Page said. "But I haven't found it yet."
Page showed a Pulitzer Prize-winning photo of a vulture stalking a Sudanese girl as she struggled to find sustenance at an aid station in 1994. When critics asked the photographer if he helped save the girl, he disclosed that he did not. Page said the photo has gripped him since he first saw it.
"Friends, I say to you today that I don't really think we've done much better for that little girl. Have we done any better with our world? Have we helped the girl spiritually? Have we helped countless millions to die without hearing the Good News of our Lord Jesus?" Page asked.
Southern Baptists must reach the girl and those like her who are perishing without Christ, he said. The church has received a calling from Jesus in the Great Commission, and believers share the love of Jesus that is demonstrated as a powerful force throughout Scripture.
Page commended state convention partners that have joined national entities in streamlining their operations to devote more resources to reaching the nations for Christ. Ten years ago, state convention employees numbered 1,750. Now the figure is 1,350, he said.
"But you see, regardless of what happens at the national level or even the state level, what really matters is whether or not local churches understand what the Cooperative Program is and reengage in those ministries," Page said.
A diverse group of pastors appeared in a video called "Count Me In," expressing their support for the Cooperative Program as a key component in the missions task.
"We have a God who can make all this happen," Page said. "... I say this to you because I ask you to join me in begging God like never before. Would you join me and pray for God to 'show up' like never before? I'm asking that across this convention we join in prayer like we've never prayed before."
Cooperative Program in action
Earlier in the day, in the first part of the Executive Committee's report to messengers, Page welcomed to the stage Brian and Hannah Crane, who this year planted Progression Church on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. The Cranes were influenced heavily by the Baptist Collegiate Ministry at LSU, which is supported by the Cooperative Program.
"It was through the BCM that I taught my first Bible study, that I preached my first sermon, that I led my first ministry event and the first time I ever led any ministry team," Brian Crane said. "... The BCM taught me one thing, and they taught it well: They taught me how to make disciples."
Because of Southern Baptist collegiate ministry, Crane said he recognizes that Jesus did not call him to be a passive participant in the church but to be a missionary.
"Through the BCM I learned how to effectively share the Gospel with lost people and see them put their faith in Christ," Crane said, adding that as a church planter, he daily uses the skills he learned through the BCM.
"Your giving through the Cooperative Program has fueled my call to ministry," Crane said.
Jacob Watts, an LSU student and member of Progression Church, joined the Cranes on stage to testify that because of Southern Baptists' giving through the Cooperative Program, as a sophomore in college he helped start a church.
"Southern Baptist family, your investment is changing the lives of thousands upon thousands of college students every day just like me," Watts said.
As another example of the Cooperative Program in action, Page introduced Terry and Vicki Lassiter, International Mission Board affinity group leaders based in Peru, to tell about God's ongoing and special work in the Americas.
The Lassiters thanked Southern Baptists for their gifts, which have made a "tremendous impact" on their entire lives.
The cooperative giving of Southern Baptists contributed to the training of the youth pastors that led them to follow Christ and pursue vocational ministry, the couple reported. It also instilled in them a deep love for the Bible through state Bible drills, summer associational camps, Girls in Action and Royal Ambassadors. The couple also shared how they attended Baptist universities and a Southern Baptist seminary that trained them for service on the mission field.
Because of Southern Baptists' giving through the Cooperative Program, the Lassiters had transportation such as dugout canoes and prop planes to travel to unreached and unengaged people groups in remote jungles. Thirty-seven people groups in the Americas have learned of Jesus as a result of Cooperative Program giving, they said.
Page also recognized Matt Rogers, pastor of The Church at Cherrydale in Greenville, S.C., who through the Cooperative Program has been involved in church planting and church revitalization.
"Church planting and church revitalization, particularly in the Southeast, was not on my radar when my wife and I moved to Southeastern Seminary in 2005," Rogers said.
But he was discipled, prepared and encouraged to plant a church, and in the summer of 2009, with a team of seven people, he set out to plant a church in South Carolina, "where the church was increasingly losing ground in seemingly fertile soil."
"The lackluster religious climate of the Southeast needed the energy that comes from new churches and revitalized existing churches that can multiply disciples and leaders and plant new churches," Rogers said.
Increasingly Rogers felt a responsibility to "reboot the church planting conversation where for too long, fear and skepticism and mutual distrust had caused those who should partner together to grow further apart."
Recently the young church Rogers led, meeting in an elementary school, merged with an existing congregation to form a new church, "to forge a new paradigm for Kingdom partnership that would eclipse generations of church divisions and splits."
The two churches voted to become The Church at Cherrydale. "We hope that this rewrites the scorecard in the Southeast to show that churches can work together," Rogers said.
"We have seen the lost saved, the weak in the faith matured and a disciple-making culture come alive. And you have played a significant role in that journey. Your giving through the Cooperative Program has been a primary conduit of God's grace for us."

"Gone, but not forgotten" is the nostalgic slogan adopted by organizers of Discover Daniels Day, a one-time event Saturday that will mark 40 years since the last remnants of the town of Daniels were demolished by Tropical Storm Agnes.
Haven't heard of Daniels? You're not alone.
The picturesque and bustling mill town, with manufacturing roots dating to the early 19th century, was located four miles north of Ellicott City at a bend in the Patapsco River and straddled the northeastern Howard County border into Baltimore County.
A self-contained village that included 118 homes for mill workers, it grew over the years to include a school for grades one to seven, as well as a general store, post office, library, restaurant, bowling alley and four churches.
Those who cherish their memories of Daniels are throwing a shindig to introduce their beloved town to those who may not be aware it existed.
"It's amazing that there's so little [of Daniels] left, yet so many people who care about it continue to take part" in regular festivities there, including Fourth of July concerts and annual reunions, said Lisa Wingate, a preservationist who chairs the event.
"We're celebrating a town that really isn't a town anymore," she said.
The daylong celebration will encourage visitors to get acquainted with the history of the lost town. First called Elysville in 1829, it was renamed Alberton when the James S. Gary Co. took over in 1854.
The name was changed to Daniels when the cotton duck mill and surrounding 550-acre village — population 800 — were auctioned in 1940 for $65,000 to C.R. Daniels Inc., which operates today in Ellicott City.
By the 1960s, the prospect of installing a mandatory sewer system prompted C.R. Daniels to begin demolishing the mill workers' homes and encourage the town's residents to relocate by 1968. The state wanted the land for a park and purchased all but the 2 acres where Gary Memorial United Methodist Church sits and 15 acres of mill property, Wingate said.
Despite that difficult decision, Vernon Abel, the third generation to run C.R. Daniels, said, "The people were loyal to the company, and the company was loyal to its employees."
"It was a great town," said his son, Gary Abel, current president of the company. "There are still people who work for us today that have ties back to the old mill. We lost most of our records in '72, so a lot has to be pieced together from personal accounts."
The company's actions notwithstanding, it was the destruction Agnes caused in June 1972 that former residents refer to as the official end of Daniels as a town.
"It's not that we're celebrating a natural disaster," Wingate said of the coming festivities. "We're honoring the life cycle of the river valley and the natural environment."
Events and talks will focus on the community's Patapsco Valley heritage and B&O Railroad history, as well as environmental and preservation issues. Museum-quality exhibit panels will feature aerial photos of the town and its landmarks. Tours, hikes, Civil War re-enactors, storytelling circles and music by the Daniels Band, which has been in existence continuously since forming in 1879, are also among the planned activities.
Life in Daniels
Today, the Daniels area of Patapsco Valley State Park draws visitors interested in paddling, fishing and hiking. All that remains of the town are the dam and remnants of the mill and the millrace that powered it, along with Gary Memorial United Methodist Church, built of granite in 1879 and situated high on Standfast Hill above Daniels Dam.
Perhaps the main constant in the life of the town is Gary Memorial, which still draws about 70 worshippers each Sunday.
"A number of folks have attended their whole lives," said Wingate, a member for 10 years, noting that the Gov. William Donald Schaefer regularly drove to services from Annapolis. "It's very much a church with a sense of its time and place, and it has a very welcoming congregation."
Among the roster of regular attendees is state Sen. James N. Robey, who will serve as keynote speaker Saturday. He has attended Gary Memorial for 65 years and currently drives in from Elkridge with his wife, Janet, who also grew up in Daniels.
Robey's parents and sister, who had remained in Daniels as caretakers after the town was virtually shut down in 1968, were rescued by helicopter from the roof of the mill manager's house where they lived when Agnes struck. Robey was on police duty elsewhere in the county and unaware of the drama, he said.
"The watchman on duty had warned my parents that the water was rising" and that they should leave, Robey recalled. "By the time my dad had moved the car [to higher ground], it was too late, and the National Guard was called to their rescue."
Robey lived in Daniels until age 23 and had been training to become a machinist until he "decided that wasn't what I wanted to do." He was one of two police officers hired by the county in 1966, he said. He went on to become Howard's police chief and later county executive before being elected to the General Assembly.
"I wish the town was still here," he said. "I'm concerned that the spirit of the people who lived and worked here will decay as more people pass away. Newer people are going to be oblivious" to the town's history and charm.
Jane Bourne Derrick, who lived in Daniels from 1936 to 1953, recalls a near-perfect upbringing, with swimming, ice skating and hiking available right in town. But it was the people who made the town memorable, she said.
"Everybody looked out for everybody else," said Derrick, 81, who remembers hiding behind the dam's waterfall to smoke cigarettes as a teen, and playing good-natured tricks at Halloween. "We were all friends, and the families were very close-knit."
The tenacity of the town's inhabitants is what Discover Daniels Day organizers hope to convey to visitors.
"Some of the history and stories of Daniels will sink in," Wingate said, "and that's the whole purpose of this day."
If you go
What: Discover Daniels Day, a free event open to all ages. Food and crafts for sale.
When: Saturday, Nov. 3, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Where: Daniels area of Patapsco Valley State Park. Daniels Road will be closed for the event. Free parking and shuttle service will be available at Hollifield Station Elementary School, 8701 Stonehouse Drive, and the Crossroads Church of the Nazarene, 2750 Rogers Ave.

Not holding my breath in anymore
Yesterday, I went to a doctor that prescribed me a hormonal medication that I felt was right to me. He also said to me that he thought that my case did not require rai treatment. I already knew that, but since my first doctor said so, I just couldn't just not do it. It would always be at the back of my mind. When there is a malignancy involved how can you not choose to be better safe than sorry? But what he said to me was that I am completely cancer free. That he strongly believed I will remain so for the rest of my life and that I don't have to check it regularly as I would with the most aggressive scans that require radioactive iodine in small doses. I just have to be very careful with my hormone levels that have to remain at certain levels. And I will have to check a particular hormone once a year to see if it is in the normal range. Other than that I am good as new(well, getting there).
This whole thing showed me many things. It made me stop being in denial about who is really there for me and who is really my friend. This is invaluable because the love I received from certain people warmed my heart and gave my little family so much strength. Although I only shared it with a few people, while others kind of found out on their own, I felt cared for. I literally felt that since so many people were so worried I didn't have to be(which sounds completely crazy, but I can't explain it in any other way). But also there were a few people that were completely distant and cold. These were only people that had to find out and it was completely expected. All but two of them. This was one of those situations were you realize you were holding on to friendships that were over and you didn't want to accept it. When the realization occurs though, it is very freeing. I can now emotionally invest in those people that gave me such unconditional love and warmth.
I'm blessed with so much love from friends, family, and you guys! You gave me laughs, smiles and tears of joy. You have touched my soul so many times. Thank you for that. Anyway, I have some magical news that I want to share with you. I dedicated myself to Brighid. This was coming for a long time, but I was always reluctant. During these hard times I felt I needed her strength and light and I am so happy I did. This opened up my spiritual practice in an unexpected way. I feel more connected and grounded than ever. It made me trust my intuition even more and allow myself to be guided and protected. I have a lot to share with you guys again and luckily this blog will stop feeling like a greys anatomy episode. Be blessed, be loved and be happy!

Cancer free! Yeh!!!! I am so happy! When things happen, you truly do find out who is true to you and not. It's sad at the time, but like you said, it is very freeing! I'm happy you have dedicated yourself to Brighid! She is a special Goddess! I am so happy of you, finding your way! Big Hugs, Much Love and Many Blessings, Always!!!

I am doing my happiest dance around the words "cancer free"! I am so thrilled for you. I also agree that safe is much better than sorry.
And about those people who you had to let go of, well... some relationships run their course and come to an end. It's best to let go and move on than to try to fix something that wasn't there.
Much love! ♥

Swooning indie wetlads Mercury Rev have started work on their seventh record.
They have yet to reveal the title for the follow-up to 2005's The Secret Migration, but they have announced it will be produced in collaboration with the familiar face of Dave Fridmann.
"Right now, it's still those little sparks. You get a little idea of what's to come, but we haven't really pushed anything much further than that," drummer Jeff Mercel told Billboard.
"We're collecting a lot of small ideas. But we'll definitely be working with Dave. In some capacity, we're always involved with him. The relationship has changed now that we have our own functional studio, so some of the roles sort of cross. But it's still a very collaborative effort."

Samsung's latest addition to its Galaxy line-up—the Grand—has just been announced. Sadly, it's not clear that it entirely lives up to its name.
That does, of course, depend on how you interpret its monicker. If the word Grand makes you think of all things large, then you won't be disappointed: this phone has a 5-inch screen and weighs an ounce more than the Galaxy S.
Sadly the specs don't quite live up to its premium-sounding name. That screen, despite being five inches on the diagonal, only sports a pixel count of 800 x 480. Elsewhere, there's a so-so 1.2GHz dual-core processor to keep things chugging along, an 8-megapixel camera on the back, 8GB of internal storage, a dual-SIM option, HSPA+, Bluetooth, DLNA and Wi-Fi. In terms of features, it'll come running Android 4.1.2 and be equipped with Sammy's software which enables two apps to run on the screen at the same time.
It's not that any of this is bad as such—the problem is the handset just doesn't quite warrant being referred to as Grand. No doubt the phone will get a more thorough inspection at CES, but in the meantime it's probably not worth getting terribly excited about. [Samsung]

love this cute boutique place
Upon arriving, the manager, greets you with such care, sincerity and a smile. The quaint courtyard has a soothing fountain. The complimentary breakfast has all the basics and the coffee is yummy. Rooms are adorable and who doesn't love a room with an orange slinky on the desk!
never a bad stay
The Inn At Venice Beach is by far the best place to stay in the Venice/ Marina Del Ray area. I have been staying here almost every weekend for the past year, and the rooms are beautiful, and most importantly, always VERY clean.
A perfect stay full of many special moments!
The inn was walking distance to the beach and near many restaurants and bars. When we return to Venice Beach this is the only place we will stay!

Ulloa treble sinks Terriers
Leonardo Ulloa grabbed a sparkling hat-trick to keep Brighton's npower Championship play-off bid on track as they cantered past Huddersfield with a 4-1 win.
The Seagulls were in danger of slipping out of the top six after Ulloa's opener was cancelled out by James Vaughan before half-time.
But the Argentinian striker, a January signing from Spanish side Almeria, struck twice more in the space of three second-half minutes before David Lopez wrapped up Brighton's third straight win from the penalty spot.
Gus Poyet's side looked destined for the play-offs last season only to slip away during the run-in, but this term they look like they mean business.
The hosts dominated the opening stages but only had Ulloa's 20th-minute goal to show for it.
Will Buckley's header from Lopez's corner was kept out by Town keeper Alex Smithies and Adam Clayton blocked a header from Ulloa.
But the breakthrough came from another Lopez corner which was volleyed towards goal from the edge of the area by Buckley.
Oscar Gobern blocked the fierce effort but the ball fell to Andrea Orlandi, who whipped in a near-post cross which Ulloa met with a fine header.
Orlandi almost made it two after a quickly-taken free-kick by Buckley but his shot was superbly tipped around a post by Smithies.
And the Seagulls were hit by a sucker-punch three minutes before half-time when, on a rare Huddersfield foray forward, Gobern crossed from the right and Vaughan finished from close range.
Orlandi had a chance to restore Brighton's advantage in first-half stoppage time but his shot flew wide.
After the break Huddersfield skipper Peter Clarke twice denied Lopez with clearances off the goal-line with Smithies beaten.
The Spaniard was first teed up by Ulloa only to see his shot cleared and moments later had his head in his hands again as Clarke pulled off another last-ditch block.
Smithies also kept out a Lopez drive while substitute Ashley Barnes fired a good opportunity over the crossbar.
But Smithies was finally beaten again in the 75th minute when Ulloa met Lopez's cross with a powerful header from 12 yards out.
And three minutes later Ulloa latched onto a long pass from Inigo Calderon, rounded Smithies and rolled the ball into an open goal to complete the Seagulls' first treble at the Amex Stadium.
Brighton made it four in the 80th minute when Paul Dixon brought down Craig Mackail-Smith in the area and Lopez coolly tucked in the penalty.

This is a guest post by my daughter. I first thought what would she know, but then she knows some mean shortcuts. That day she pressed 3 random keys and the display on the laptop got inverted by 180 degrees. She also has shortcuts to delete a file permanently and change the layout of a ppt. So I assumed this super sharp baby should be allowed to share her thoughts with other babies. So here goes -
I just turned 9 months old. I was under the impression that I was 18 months old, someone then told me I am not allowed to count the time I spent in my mom's tummy. That sucks. This advice would have sounded sagely coming from a much older baby.
I recommend you hear the original here.
Newborns of 2015,
Wear Diaper Rash cream.
If I could Offer you one tip for the future.... Diaper Rash cream would be IT. The long term benefits of Diaper Rash cream have been proved by mothers. Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own soft bottom.
I will dispense this advice now
Refuse to eat whatever is being presented to you. Eat from Daddy's plate instead. Don't let him eat. remember you are growing up, he's just growing old.
Point at crows, pigeons, stray dogs and make noises like you are challenging them to a fight. When the dog starts walking towards you, get very scared and hide in Daddy's arms.
Lick mom's cheek whenever she lets her guard down.
Pick dirty from every nick and corner of the furniture and taste it.
There will be a very small window between changing diapers. Make sure you do potty/susu right then. It requires the concentration of a sage and the stomach muscles of a samurai. Practice will make perfect.
Dont worry if you miss it by a few seconds, you will get them next time.
Wipe runny nose on daddy's shirt when he's not looking. Don't sleep when it is sleepy time. Cry if someone tries to get you to sleep.
Get exercise. This is the only time in your lives when exercise is someone massaging you with oil.
Maybe you crawl, maybe you wont. Maybe you lay there comfortable, maybe you get scared by a balloon. Whatever you do, dont forget you cry you get fed.
Play with Daddy's phone. Play with Mommy's phone.
Press random keys while they are working on the laptop. 10 years from now, they wont remember the worksheets you accidentally deleted.
Compel adults to learn to understand your language. Make an effort to understand theirs.
Touch everything you arent supposed to. Throw caution to the winds.
Wake up 3 times a night.
Put your finger inside daddy's nostril.
But trust me on the Diaper Rash Cream.

Mission of showing yourself to be an unfunny jerk also accomplished. Seriously. This is on a spectrum with (not the same as) trashing things to show you can. It's really not a good look on you.
You know what else isn't a good look for someone? Being an annoying, whiny, self-righteous social justice warrior who jumps on every single social issue that shows up in the media...whether a battle is warranted or not. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of social injustices out there that need to be addressed. For instance, inequality for women's pay seems to be a consistent issues across the board that needs to be resolved once an for all. As a man who works with some highly intelligent, highly skilled, but grossly underpaid women, I think this is horrible. Racism, legitimate racism from some racist cops that exist out there, is absolutely a real problem that needs to be addressed. There have been legitimate violent acts of racism by police officers across the country that have gone unpunished. This is a disgusting thing for any human being to do. Obviously there are several more definitive issues that can be listed, but I won't pretend to be knowledgeable enough to list everything or to go into the kind of significant detail.
What I will mention, however, is that not every shooting of a black person by a cop is racist. There are legitimate black criminals that don't comply with the police, and if those officers don't react by shooting them, they could die themselves. Not every shooting of a cop by a black man is an act of racism. Some are, some aren't. However, every single time a black person is shot by a cop, people blindly start screaming, protesting, and flocking to the front lines of the courthouse. This, of course, is without examining any of the facts. It's gut reaction, nothing more.
Another thing to mention is women's rights. Women having true equality in both pay and stature is one thing, but saying that ALL their rights are being taken away because of the defunding of Planned Parenthood is another. Planned Parenthood commits 300,000 abortions per year. Yes, they also offer other services like affordable birth control, clinical breast examinations, pregnancy testing, STD testing, sex education, etc. However, these things basically mask the fact that this is a true killing machine. Planned Parenthood is responsible for way more murder than all of the racist cops AND all of the cop killing black people in America combined. However, abortion is the "right" of women? Because it's "your" body? No ma'am. If it was "your body" that was being dealt with during an abortion, then you would be the one to DIE during an abortion. Not an innocent child that was simply too inconvenient for you to raise. Oh, and don't give me the whole "what about incest, rape, or the mother's life being in danger" routine. That makes up LESS than 1% of all abortion cases. This argument holds very little water. So yeah, if Planned Parenthood and it's baby-killing machine are what you're screaming for in regards to women's rights, then I MUST be sexist because I'm not okay with women having that particular..."right". Please hear that last sentence in your head with the most sarcastic tone of voice you can think of.
Lastly, the discrimination of Muslims. This is a bit of a tricky topic. Unlike a ton of my fellow conservatives, I'm not a big enough idiot to believe that all Muslims are violent terrorists. While I've never read the Quran, I've read a good amount about the "sword verses" that the terrorist faction of the Islamic faith points to to justify their violent actions. A lot of conservatives use the existence of those "sword verses" to label the entire faith as violent. After reading more about these verses myself, I realized that context is a huge deal. Therefore, labeling the entire following of Islam as violent is just about as ignorant as labeling all of Christianity as violent as well, simply because of taking some Old Testament verses out of context. I mean, seriously, wrathful God much?
So yeah, Muslims, as a whole, aren't violent whatsoever. Here's the deal though, the terrorism is happening, it's scary, and it's dangerous. The radical Muslims are absolutely a minority among their fellow believers. However, the Nazis of WW2 were technically the minority in Germany, too. Who drove the agenda though? The peaceful majority? Or the violent minority? Obviously you guys know the answer to that question. Today, the same thing is going on. Except now, it's not the minority of a country that is driving a violent agenda, but the minority of one of the world's largest religions..meaning this easily spans country borders. It's terrifying, and people have a right to be both scared AND cautious because of that fear. Obviously, flat out discrimination is completely uncalled for, but don't mistake taking extra precautions that may or may not involve singling out individual Muslims for security reasons or restricting travel in certain capacities as discrimination. We live in dangerous times, and extra measures have to be taken in order to keep the all of us safe and secure.
I say all that to say this: The anger and frustration that I've personally seen from Muslims is completely misplaced. From what I can tell, the government is being blamed, our president is being blamed....everybody is being blamed, except the the terrorists within the faith. As a Christian, if the Crusades (remember those?) were occurring during modern times (which was basically the Christian equivalent to what's going on with Islam right now), I wouldn't be blaming the government or the president for taking extra precaution with me because of my Christian faith. I would completely understand that people were terrified of the radicals WITHIN my faith. Therefore, instead of blaming the government, I would do everything I could to help and support the leaders of the Christian church to go after these "crusader terrorists" in order for me to no longer be viewed as threat by society. I mean, don't get me wrong, it would suck, it really would. However, why direct anger and place blame towards a government and president who did NOT cause these acts of terrorism and also didn't cause my religion to appear terrifying? I'll repeat, anger and protest in situations like that should never be misplaced.
In conclusion, it's extremely annoying to see people that jump on every liberal social justice bandwagon that comes across the news. Not all of those situations warrant any protest whatsoever. Granted, some people, like our own Mr. Kaiser Farooque here on our forums, have a more personal dog in the fight. I get it, man, but try to remember to not misplace your anger and your protest. Others however, jump on issues that not only do not warrant any kind of protest, but those "issues" don't even have relevance to them personally. It's ridiculous, it's ignorant, and it's extremely annoying. Therefore, I will most definitely speak my mind in regards to unnecessary protesting. Even if speaking my mind involves making fun of the silliness of the protesters. I look like a jerk? Sure, okay. At least I'm not whiny and self-righteous.
Crap. I guess I just participated in a political discussion on here again.
Oh, and FYI, I'm not "offended" by these types of discussions. I'm really just annoyed by them. These forums were a cool place several years ago when I was a much more active member. These kinds of discussions weren't happening back then. Now they are, and it makes me want to come here less often.
Anyway, bring on the critical comments. I have a fantastic life, so I won't lose any sleep over it. Have yourselves a good afternoon.

WTC visionary: Architect Morrish thinks with Think
Towers of red folders containing the hopes of would-be architecture students occupy every horizontal surface in William Morrish's office. But on the wall beside his desk hang images of towers of a different kind:
* an old black-and-white aerial shot of the World Trade Center towers,
* a photo of their empty footprint, and
* schematic drawings of soaring columns of metal lattice containing the hopes of a resilient city.
Elwood P. Quesada Professor of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban and Environmental Planning (the first-ever cross-disciplinary appointment at UVA's School of Architecture), Morrish is also a member of New York-based Think, an international consortium whose design for rebuilding Ground Zero has just been tapped as one of two finalists selected by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation.
The 54-year-old Fresno, California, native has built a career around grappling with complicated issues of politics, cultural history, environment, and public space in urban design.
"I've always brought culture and art into the middle of culture art and public space which," he laughs, "produces lots of angst."
With architectural degrees from Harvard and the University of California at Berkeley, Morrish has left his creative imprint on cities ranging from St. Paul to San Francisco to Phoenix. The latter's Public Arts Plan is among his favorite projects because there "we made public space out of ditches and overpasses."
After spending 12 years as the founding director of the University of Minnesota's Design Center for the American Urban Landscape, Morrish joined UVA's faculty in 2001, drawn by the architecture school's innovative combination of departments. "So many schools are trying to be like this," he says.
Last year Frederic Schwartz, an old Harvard friend, invited Morrish to contribute to Think, whose principals include architectural heavyweights Schwartz, Shigeru Ban, Ken Smith, and Rafael Vinoly, as they imagined what might be built at the World Trade Center site.
"People use the word 'learning' a lot when they talk about what they'd like for the site," Morrish says, explaining Think's design for a World Cultural Center featuring lattice towers, within which a hotel, a museum, performance spaces, and other civic venues hang suspended over the original WTC footprint. "We see the towers as infrastructure extensions of the city," he adds.
"He is an incredible humanist," Schwartz says of Morrish. "He cares a great deal about knowledge and educating, and not just in a school setting."
Think and fellow finalist Daniel Libeskind, presented their respective revised plans for the WTC site on February 25. The winner will be named in early March.
As he reflects on Think's lattice structure proposal, Morrish's eyes shine. "This isn't a tower," he says. "This isn't an office that's lost its skin. It's really an environment where people can ride and climb and see the city and understand it."

Deer Attractants: Legal to Buy But Not For Use in Indiana Hunting
The Department of Natural Resources is reminding Indiana hunters that even though deer attractants found at retail stores can be purchased and used in the wild, hunting near them is illegal.
They are considered bait.
Indiana regulations prohibit the hunting of deer with the use or aid of bait, which is defined as "a food that is transported and placed for consumption, including, but not limited to, piles of corn and apples placed in the field; a prepared solid or liquid that is manufactured and intended for consumption by livestock or wild deer, including, but not limited to, commercial baits and food supplements; salt; or mineral supplements."
This includes artificial products marketed under names such as Deer Co-Cain, Buck Jam, Trophy Rock, as well as mineral blocks, salt blocks, and even natural foods such as corn and apples.
"Basically, if you place anything that isn't grown in the area and hunt there, it's illegal," said Lt. Larry Morrison, outdoor education director for DNR Law Enforcement. "Hunting next to a corn field or from an apple tree is legal, but placing corn or apples under your tree stand would put you in conflict with current Indiana law."
An area is considered baited for 10 days after the product and the affected soil is removed from an area.
Odor differs from bait. Cover scents or scent attractants are legal to use when hunting.
Archery season currently is underway in Indiana and continues through Jan. 5, 2014. The urban zone segment in designated areas continues through Jan. 31, 2014.
The most popular segment of Indiana's deer hunting season – firearms – begins Nov. 16 and ends Dec. 1, followed by the muzzleloader season (Dec. 7-22) and the special antlerless season (Dec. 26-Jan. 5, 2014).
A violation of Indiana's no baiting regulation is a Class C misdemeanor.

Eli in search of first win over Peyton in Manning Bowl III
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. >> Welcome to Manning Bowl III, the last topic Peyton and Eli want to discuss.
In any other week, the two Super Bowl MVPs don't hesitate to discuss the other. With the Denver Broncos (1-0) facing the New York Giants (0-1) today at MetLife Stadium, their reluctance about discussing their sibling shows. They don't encourage the appearance that the game is Eli vs. Peyton and the other players don't matter.
On Peyton's conference call with the New York-area media this week, Peyton answered 10 minutes of questions about Eli and himself. Finally, the 37-year-old big brother wondered aloud if anyone was going to ask him about the Giants' defense. That defense is tasked with slowing down a quarterback who tied the NFL record with seven touchdown passes in a 49-27 win over the Super Bowl-champion Baltimore Ravens.
Eli and Peyton usually talk at least once a week. They have shared information about opponents and appraised each other's play. This week is trickier because they are also sharing information with teammates.
"It's still neat because it doesn't happen very often and it is neat seeing your big brother on the sideline or seeing him before the game," Eli said. "Those moments are the things you remember and we'll remember for a long time. Hopefully when I think back on these games that we played against my brother, I can think back and remember at least one win."
Peyton won the first two games against Eli while playing with the Indianapolis Colts: 26-21 in 2006 and 38-14 in 2010.
"Playing against your brother in an NFL game, it's a little bit different than playing against him in Little League baseball, or whatnot," Peyton said. "It's significant, I think for he and I.
"But because it's a team sport, the focus has to be on doing your job to help the team get ready to play. So this will be the third time, possibly could be the last time. I think I will take a moment there, whenever it is — in pregame warm-ups, the national anthem, coin toss, whenever that is — I think you do take a moment there. And you kind of capture it and hold onto it. I have a moment from the 2006 game and the 2010 game, but that's one moment. The rest of the time you're going out and trying to do your job as a quarterback and help your team win."
Broncos coach John Fox recognizes it's human nature to be interested in the brothers.
"I have appreciation for it because I have such respect for the family, both guys in the league," Fox said. "I think they're both highly competitive guys at quite arguably what may be the hardest position to play in professional sports."
Five things to watch
• EXPECT FIREWORKS: Peyton (462) and Eli (450) combined for 11 touchdown passes last week, and the Giants would have had a lot more points had they not turned the ball over six times in their 36-31 loss to Dallas. Neither team ran the ball well. This could be an air show.
• WILSON WOES: Giants running back David Wilson will be a marked man after fumbling twice against Dallas, with one being returned for a touchdown. The Giants signed veteran Brandon Jacobs earlier in the week, but Da'Rel Scott may be Wilson's backup.
• RIDE 'EM BRONCS: Denver has won 12 straight regular-season games, the NFL's longest active streak. Their only recent loss was the stunner the Ravens manufactured in the postseason. It's no wonder everyone thinks Peyton and company will be back here for the Super Bowl in February.
• PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE: While the Giants can win a shootout, their best chance is to find a way to get pressure on Peyton. DE Jason Pierre-Paul should be better in his second game of the season and a healthy Justin Tuck looks like a new player. Expect the Giants to use a lot of nickel and dime schemes.
• NOT ALL PEYTON: Denver's defense held Ray Rice to 36 yards rushing and the Ravens to 58 overall on the ground. Backup linebacker Shaun Phillips had 2 1/2 sacks playing for the suspended Von Miller in passing situations; cornerback Chris Harris had an interception; and linebacker Danny Trevathan would have scored on a pick had he not fumbled just before crossing the goal line.

A Most Wanted Man
About the Film:
Ends on Thursday!
When a half-Chechen, half-Russian, brutally tortured immigrant turns up in Hamburg's Islamic community, laying claim to his father's ill-gotten fortune, both German and US security agencies take a close interest: as the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, the race is on to establish this most wanted man's true identity - oppressed victim or destruction-bent extremist?
Sadly this is one of Hoffman's final performances. It's also one of his finest, taking a man who could have easily fallen into caricature – hard drinking, hard smoking, solitary, gruff – and with some wonderfully subtle moments constructing a believably flawed but stoic figure. The politics of the piece are equally well played, with Bachmann's cerebral, long-game approach to counter-terrorism coming into conflict with the gung-ho local constabulary and Robin Wright's shady US operative. Corbijn, though, never preaches. The elegance with which he attacks this quiet, contemplative tale about security and duty is as expected from previous work; it may build gradually to its gut-punch finale, but gorgeously so. And you simply can't take your eyes off the hulking, tragic anti-hero and the centre of it all.

You know how fans of bad teams come to games with paper bags over their heads, because they're ashamed to admit they root for a terrible franchise? New Orleans invented that, because they root for the most terrible franchise ever.
For most of their existence the Saints were the textbook definition of lousy football. In the team's very first game in 1967, they returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown—and never looked forward from there. They lost that game and many, many after. In their first 20 years of existence they finished exactly at .500 twice. Never better than that. No division titles. No playoff games. Zip.
It was during the midst of a 1-15 season in 1980 that local sportscaster "Buddy D." Diliberto himself dropped the S and began referring to the team as "The Aints." He also encouraged the paper bags as a show of solidarity among fans at the Superdome. The legend (of awfulness) was born.
Even the players (current and former) have had trouble coping with the stink of failure and jambalaya. Now in a stunningly unprecedented reversal rarely seen in sports, a terrible team is suddenly good. They are in the Super Bowl. Strange, but true!
So what about those fans? "Long Suffering" is a word you hear a lot. "Laughing stock" is another. "Resurrected." "Hell freezing over. "Not your father's Aints because your father probably threw himself in Lake Pontchartrain after the Ricky Williams draft." You get the idea.
Every big game needs a feel good story, and the happy-go-lucky people of New Orleans having something to be happy about certainly qualifies. But how does a tortured fan base come to grips with the fact that their team might actually, you know ... win?
Oh ... right. Lord helps us all.

25 Greatest Los Angeles Lakers of the Jerry Buss Era
Buss led the Lakers to 10 NBA championships after buying the team in 1979.
Taxonomy upgrade extras:
Dr. Jerry Buss (Jan. 27, 1933 - Feb. 18, 2013) was the greatest owner in NBA history. In fact, the chemist and card player was arguably the best owner in sports history. The day after this year's All-Star Game in Houston, the NBA's brightest star faded away. With Buss's passing, David Stern's Association lost its most accomplished boss, savviest visionary and coolest 80-year-old.
