When an electric power malfunction creates more buzz than a wardrobe glitch and when a boring – albeit slutty – halftime show outshines a slate of lame commercials that cost $3.8 million per 30-second pop, the biggest religious holiday in America that's also known as Super Bowl Sunday may yet force fans to re-focus on the game itself.
In recent years, the trend has run the other way with commercials and the halftime show –along with tweets – relegating the game to sideshow status. If this turnabout continues, we may have to actually watch the game. And this year's proved a helluva game after what seemed a first-half blowout, with the Broncos-slayer Baltimore Ravens barely holding on to beat the San Francisco Forty-Niners by 34-31 in Super Bowl XLVII.
But now that the 2013 Super Bowl is past, we'll be spared the broadcast booth clichés football fans have endured for years. "Red zone!, "To the House!" (whose house?), "Air It Out" (Did 'It' smell bad?) and "they came to play" (rather than clown around?) come immediately to mind. Along with, when an injured played is wheeled off the field on a gurney, "Shaken up a bit on that play." There are lots of others, and none add much to the language.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could enjoy a similar shut-off for some of the other clichés that have become part of the language? We hear them every day – either electronically or uttered by people who still talk rather than text.
"Awesome!" is too easy, but is right up there in the useless Pantheon. "Off the table" (or "on" it) is another.Whatever table we may be talking about, that line has become as tiresome as "at the end of the day…" where we're never told what day it actually is. "Outside the box" (which box?) is another straw for the language-challenged.
Then there's "spot on," a Brit affectation that's in keeping with a need for a Brit accent – bogus or not – to lend some sort of credibility in areas running from reality TV hosts to pimping the most pedestrian of products. "Spot on" users ought not be confused with those socially-insecure Americans who genuflect when they hear a BBC accent. While there's something to be said for admiring a "Downton Abbey" world of manners, civility and standards – supported by a suffocating class structure -I'm not one of those who mourns that lost age that still persists, in Britain, as a sliver of itself.
When service people ask "anything else for you TODAY?," I ask what OTHER day would we be talking about, and get blank stares.
Speaking of service people, we can't let their constant "no problem" replies – in lieu of a simple "certainly" or "thank you" – go unchallenged. When did simply doing their job become a "problem?" When they tell you "no problem," does that mean whatever they did, or promised to do, would ordinarily have BEEN a problem?
Since we started with football, let's run a bit further with it- so to speak – by mentioning the Manti Te'o case and what it means for electronic-age mass gullibility for a story line too good to be true. Star Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o passes up the NFL draft, plays his senior year and leads his team to a national championship despite the heartbreak of having his grandmother and his girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, dying on the same day; the girlfriend from leukemia.
But there was just one problem in this Greek tragedy re-cast in modern Mormon terms (Te'o is a devout Mormon). Lennay never existed and was the creation of Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, a Hawaiian friend of Manti's, who pretended to be Lennay online and had a female cousin "play" Lennay on the phone. Although he'd never met her or seen her on Facebook, iPhone or Skype, Te'o claimed a very spiritual love affair with Lennay running since 2009. He became a figure of national admiration and placed second in Heisman Trophy voting for America's outstanding college player.
Everybody was sucked in, including Sports Illustrated and Notre Dame – until Deadspin.com revealed the hoax last Dec. 6th. There are all kinds of lessons buried in the Te'o sub-text and we're not going to pontificate here. But maybe one of those lessons suggests that all of our communication toys and world of 24/7 instant access hasn't made us much smarter; clichés and all.

Also like you I am trying to figure out the best mode of self locating within a environment. If I can get my bot somewhat accurate then I dont think I will be to much of a problem. My reasoning is this, if its locomotion is not perfect my grid will become obsolete after x time has passed. basically it will forget in a sense but if it can uptake enough information to off set this "forgetting" then I think it will be ok. But the hard part is getting the bot somewhat accurate lol.
Now this is my question to the folks with more hardware experience. Can I use 2 or 3 IR receivers on my bot to triangulate its position from a IR emitting base? I was also pondering the idea of using the parts out of a mouse to get feedback of the bots actual movement but this idea also lacks accuracy but should be quasi easy to implement.
edit actually with some rough calculations with the 16mhz clock rate on the arduino and the speed of light the ir receivers would have to be placed ~19 meters apart on the bot. Unless it is possible to detect the amount of noise in the IR signal or strength of the signal to calculate location but I dont know if that is possible due to my lack in hardware knowledge

The buyer is Oasis Beverages, a Russian brewer and beverages distributor. Backing Oasis is TSG Consumer Partners, an American private equity firm focused on consumer goods, which will take a minority stake.

Netflix (Part 2): Is The Company Its Own Best Sequel?
Richard is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
With Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) trading at $85, or over 60% above its 52-week low, I'm beginning to wonder how long will it be before the company regains that all important mark of $100 per share. The psychological importance of this is obvious – particularly for a company that once traded at over $300 just a little over a year ago.
Netflix Part 2
For Netflix, merely saying that it's been on a "bumpy ride" would be an understatement. Not that the company has arrived to its destination just yet – in fact, far from it. But at least, these days investors are able to locate the endpoint on the GPS. A content sharing deal with a company such as Disney (NYSE: DIS) has a way of offering the sort of validation that Netflix has needed - call it a "calming effect."
Now, although I'm willing to applaud Netflix for executing a series of moves that suggests the company is "turning the corner," I still worry that it might not be sustainable. In other words, has the company really done enough to completely erase the bear arguments that have damaged its reputation over the past year?
Even though there's been a slight rebound in the shares, Netflix still needs to prove that its days of self-inflicted wounds are over, many of which were caused by its desire to grow no matter how much it costs. Although the company has shown to have changed in some respects, this part has not.
Unfortunately, at this point last year, its ambitions ended up costing Netflix 1 million subscribers with its ill-timed price hike and its push into movie-streaming. However, the company was right – albeit flawed in its execution.
Today, Netflix wants to convince Wall Street that a second act has arrived and the sequel is much better. I'm not sure about you, but I don't know many movie sequels that were better than the original – although "The Hangover 2" comes close. But that's a topic for another time.
Box Office Hit or a Flop
One can't discuss Netflix's future without addressing the company's aggressiveness to expand in international markets. After all, this is where the majority of the company's profits have gone. That Netflix reported a 90% drop in its net income serves as an example of the costs the company is willing to pay to realize its ambitions. But will it work?
The competition so far is not making it easy. Although Netflix's deal with Disney will present some leverage, it's worth noting that Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) also signed its own deal recently with Epix. While Netflix remains the clear-cut leader in the streaming business, both Amazon and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) have also been gaining some traction. For that matter, so have services like Hulu and YouTube.
However, for Netflix, competition is nothing new. Although this has been the most commonly cited bear argument, the company has proven that it can grow – and grow impressively despite these threats. For instance, Netflix was able to gain 2 million new streaming members in the recent quarter, which has now brought its worldwide total to 29 million.
This is in addition to U.S. subscribers, which grew to over 25 million – up more than 20% year-over-year. Likewise, it is certainly encouraging that 700,000 new international subscribers were added during the quarter – helping the company reach a total of 4.3 million. This is great, right? But hold your applause – to do this, it required (as noted) a 90% decline in profits. Was it worth it?
On the other hand, Amazon also lost $274 million in its recent quarter by aggressively building its infrastructure. While Netflix may find some solace from the Amazon comparison, Prime is only one segment of Amazon's revenue stream. Still, I don't think that Amazon's limited library scares Netflix today. However, tomorrow may be a different story
As Netflix proved last week, it only takes one deal to change the entire outlook. Likewise Amazon has an existing ecosystem that Netflix would kill for. And it is not unrealistic to think that at some point Amazon will be able to leverage its Kindle Fire tablet as well as offering product promotions and discounts to entice loyal shoppers to become movie enthusiasts.
In the meantime, for Netflix, that is has started dabbling into original content sets itself apart from Amazon and even Apple whose iTunes is also considered a threat. Netflix seems to want to shape itself in the mold of HBO, Showtime and Starz. If Netflix can score a hit like The Sopranos or Homeland, there is no way that rivals like Amazon or even Apple can compete.
In that regard, Apple is already hurt by the fact that consumers insist that its a la carte model is expensive. Worse yet, Apple does not have the breadth of content that Netflix enjoys – at least not presently. But then again, Apple would only need an exclusive content deal to disrupt both Netflix and Amazon's lead.
This is where a company like Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) might step in since it already has an agreement with Apple to distribute content to the iPad. What's more, Time Warner, which owns HBO has every incentive to want to see Netflix fail. On the other hand, this has been a wish of cable companies for quite some time. To their dismay, Netflix refuses to die. It's come close, but as with a scary flick, it's come back in the sequel.
Bottom Line
As you can see, there are a lot of moving parts here. So depending on how you look at it, Netflix's aggressive expansion in international markets as well as its original content can either be a huge hit or a complete flop. It all depends on how the competition responds. The good news is that the streaming market is not even close to being saturated – even with so many entrants.
For now, Netflix's current lead is significant enough to the extent that the company can afford to sacrifice short term profits for a bigger future payday. Although the "if you build it they will come" model is always a risky bet, Netflix's growth trend will continue to support the growth of the stock – at least for now.
In the meantime, before I'm willing to call the stock a buy, I want to first see where the net income figure is at the end of its next quarter. While I appreciate investing for the future as much as the next person, but a 90% profit drop in two consecutive quarters will require more than a snickers bar and a large bag of popcorn, because the stock may not be going anywhere for a while.

|hey miami dalè mr worldwide, 305 (some stuff in Spanish) eeeeeeeeewoooooooo
"sorry marc"
Dozer was just rescued this week from an abusive household. The story about what happened isn't totally clear but from what we can gather, the husband's form of discipline was to repeatedly kick Dozer over and over on a regular basis. One night, the husband went to hit his wife and Dozer went after him and bit his ankle. Infuriated, the husband grabbed his gun and shot Dozer.
Dozer was able to run to the neighbor's house and hide under her porch. When the husband came out to shoot him again, the 80 year woman that lived in the house came out with a broom and warned that if he touched Dozer then he would have to deal with her.
Even though the elderly woman was initially afraid of Dozer, she protected him for days. Dozer sat under her porch, untreated, for 5 days.
During this time, Dozer repeatedly scratched at his gunshot wound. His wound is now 8 inches long, 4 inches wide and has a depth of 1 inch.
This dog was shot protecting the life of someone he loved, he is beautiful to me.

Battlefields and Marketplaces
AbstractDivided societies in the developing world experience wasteful struggles for power. We study the relationship between political stability and resources wasted in the struggle within a model of competitive power contests. The model of power contests is similar in structure to models describing oligopolistic market competition. This analogy helps us in deriving results that are new to the conflict literature. We show, for example, that the Herfindahl-Hirschman index can be interpreted as a measure of power concentration and that a peace treaty between Þghting groups have a parallel in tacit collusion between firms in a market.

At one time or another, most people have looked at a child with a disability and felt pity for him or her -- but Gilette Children's Hospital is making a push to show that these kids don't want sympathy, they want acceptance.
Long before she was reading books, 6-year-old Madison Harbarth was reading music and found a passion for piano.
"It's a part of her -- a part of who she is and who she is going to become," said Pam Harbarth, Madison's mother.
Another part of who Madison is and always will be is the rare disorder that stopped her spine from growing in utero. Because of that, she'll never be able to walk.
"It was explained to me that when she is 15, from the waist-up, she'll look like a 15-year-old girl," Pam Harbarth told FOX 9 News. "Waist down, she'll always be tiny."
Even so, Pam and Rick Harbarth don't focus on what their daughter can't do, and neither does she.
"I want to be just like anybody else," Madison Harbarth said.
And she is. Madison loves to dance, can't get enough of playing with her older brother, Connor, and she also loves to sing along with her favorite artist, Taylor Swift. Her favorite song is "Mean," and its story is one that Madison and her family are very familiar with; however, Madison was recently reminded by a classmate that it's okay to be just as she is.
"She said that just because I'm in a wheelchair doesn't mean I can't run and play," Madison recalled.
Stories like those have inspired the Harbarths to be a voice for Gillette Children's Hospital's Cure Pity campaign, which centers on the rejecting the notion that kids need pity.
"They want a world that sees them not for what they are not able to achieve, but all that they are able to accomplish through spirit, through determination -- and a world that gives them opportunities," explained Cate Pardo, with Gillette Children's hospital.
The Harbarths were able to pass that message along recently after a bus driver told Madison's parents, "I always feel sorry for kids like that."
"Then Rick said, 'You don't need to feel sorry for her. She's got a pretty good life,'" Pam Harbarth recounted.
They urge people to remember to look beyond the disability and realize that kids are capable of adapting and learning to do extraordinary things.
"Just give them a chance," Rick Harbarth urged. "In the end, they are just like you and I -- and they want the same things we want."
So far, more than 1,000 people have taken the Cure Pity pledge.

EL CAJON, Calif. (BP) -- Messengers to the California Southern Baptist Convention annual meeting approved all Executive Board recommendations related to the Focus 21 Task Force, adopted a $13 million budget with an increased Cooperative Program percentage for worldwide missions, and they elected officers.
"Do It!" based on the calling of the first disciples in Matthew 4:20 was theme of the meeting at Shadow Mountain Community Church, Oct. 22-23.
The Focus 21 Task Force, a "Great Commission resurgence-type" committee, was appointed in 2010 and charged with discerning how California Southern Baptists could "most efficiently and effectively focus our efforts for the glory of God in fulfilling the Great Commission."
The Board's Focus 21 report addressed the final three of seven recommendations and provided a Board "response" and "action" for each. The three recommendations were "prioritizing church planting," "prioritizing global responsibilities" and "reducing denominational overlap."
The Board suggested no changes in funding California church planters in response to the Task Force recommendation that 25 percent of California Cooperative Program gifts be "spent directly on funding church planters in California." The report expressed the Board's concern of reaching people in California through church planting and concluded the Convention's commitment "is clearly illustrated" by expenditure of its resources - 33 percent of the California Southern Baptist Convention's (CSBC) operational budget when all sources of revenue are considered.
"If we didn't receive other money, it would be reasonable for us to reorganize our priorities," Montia Setzler, pastor of Magnolia Avenue Baptist Church in Riverside and chairman of the Executive Board, said. "Our total commitment to church planting is $3,595,000, almost one-third of the total budget. We need to look at the big picture, not a snapshot to see what is going on related to church planting."
Setzler noted that the snapshot of dollars going directly to church planters in 2011 when the Task Force made its recommendation was $130,311, but had "more than doubled" to $269,292 in the 2013 budget. In the 2014 budget, he noted the figure had continued to increase to $404,257.
While the Executive Board's response did not meet the Task Force recommendation of moving to a 50/50 split of Cooperative Program gifts, messengers voted for CSBC to move from 32.5 to 35 percent by 2018 and to then re-evaluate giving to SBC causes.
Setzler pointed out that CSBC has increased its percentage to worldwide giving from 27 to 32.5 percent since 2004.
A challenge to the recommendation came from Chris Cole, pastor of Niblick Road Baptist Church in Paso Robles, who moved to amend the recommendation and allocate 40 percent of CSBC Cooperative Program gifts for worldwide missions by 2017. The amended motion failed and messengers approved the original recommendation.
Messengers also approved a recommendation for 100 percent of the CSBC "challenge budget," gifts exceeding the budget, to go the SBC. They also approved CP percentage allocations for CSBC institutions - California Baptist Foundation and California Baptist University - remain at 1 and 5 percent, respectively.
In presenting the CP recommendations, Setzler said, "Nobody disagrees that we should be putting more money into worldwide missions."
He noted the "ideal" recommended by the SBC in 1925 was that state conventions give 50 percent; it also was recommended that churches give 50 percent of their gifts to make that happen.
"We've fallen a bit short of that goal," he said, with the national average of church gifts to the Cooperative Program at less than 5 percent and continuing to shrink.
The CSBC finds itself in a "perfect storm," Setzler said with reduced CP gifts because of the economy, a greater percentage required to receive NAMB matching funds and fewer dollars coming to the convention from the mission agency. "Going immediately to a 50/50 split would be devastating to our convention," he said.
Setzler noted CSBC does not deduct "shared ministry funds" in its gift to SBC world missions. Shared ministry funds are dollars set aside for various state-supported ministries and not included in calculating the percentage allocation forwarded to the SBC. There is no "standard" for determining shared ministry funds, which differ greatly among state conventions, Setzler said.
Regarding the recommendation on "reducing denominational overlap," Setzler said the Executive Board in its study didn't find "overlap" as much as it did "partnership." He explained that where they did find overlap related to church planting since churches, associations, the state convention and NAMB all could be involved. "Much of the overlap has been diminished with NAMB's creation of 'Mobilize Me,'" Setzler said.
The report outlined several suggestions including communication resources and education about Southern Baptist history, doctrine, missions and polity.
In 2012, the Executive Board reported on four of the seven recommendations initially generated by the Focus 21 Task Force in 2011. Recommendations already addressed were "clarifying cooperating churches," "enlarging California's influence," "communicate more effectively" and "planning for the future."
Messengers also approved a $13,035,665 operating budget for 2014 with a Cooperative Program objective of $7.14 million. The CP objective is $340,000, or a 5 percent increase, over the 2013 objective of $6.8 million. The CP allocation calls for a half-percent increase in gifts from 32.5 to 33 percent for the SBC. The California Convention will absorb the difference of a half-percent, bringing its allocation to 61 percent.
If the Cooperative Program objective is met in 2014, the Southern Baptist Convention would receive $2,356,200, or 33 percent (an increase of .5 percent), for world missions; CSBC Executive Board ministries for evangelism, missions and ministry in the Golden State would total $4,355,400, or 61 percent (a decrease of .5 percent); California Baptist University would receive $357,000, or 5 percent (no change); and California Baptist Foundation would receive $71,400, or 1 percent (no change).
In other business, David Wilson, pastor of Grand Avenue Baptist Church in Redondo Beach, made a motion to amend Article 3, Section 4 of the CSBC constitution to give all churches equal representation at annual meetings.
The 386 messengers approved a resolution thanking Shadow Mountain and the local association for hosting and helping put the event together, as well as a resolution "On Deepening Our Doctrinal Understanding."
The resolution notes the decline of moral values and biblical knowledge in today's society, and urges California Southern Baptists to continue to encourage Bible study and "intentional training in the foundational beliefs of the Christian faith, and a deeper awareness of doctrinal truth." The resolution also calls for churches to increase familiarity with "historic and doctrinal declarations of the Christian faith."
Mike Nolen, pastor of Southwinds Church in Tracy, was re-elected as CSBC president. Joe Slunaker, associate pastor of youth at Hemet Valley Baptist Church in Hemet, was elected first vice president. Both were elected by acclamation. Teresa Watts, worship minister at Woodward Park Baptist Church in Fresno, was elected music director.
Sermons during the annual meeting included Mark Dever, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.; the convention message from Pete Ramirez, pastor of Iglesia Bautista White Road in San Jose; CSBC executive director Fermín A. Whittaker; and Convention president Mike Nolen.
Ramirez, Whittaker and Nolen all encouraged messengers and guests to trust in the Lord's sovereignty and control over all things. The three reminded Baptists that "God is in control" even in the midst of personal trials, and addressed the current decline in church adherence and Christianity in today's society.
Dever, keynote speaker for the Tuesday evening session, asked a series of questions leading the audience to think about the church, and God's plan for discipleship that should lead to planting new congregations.
Roger Byrd, CSBC music and worship specialist and a member of Woodward Park Baptist Church in Fresno, led worship for the annual meeting, along with a band of musicians from several California churches. Scott Wesley Brown, a noted contemporary Christian musician, joined the team during the Wednesday morning session.
Next year's annual meeting will be held at Clovis Hills Community Church in Clovis Oct. 21-22.

Working with creatives is really entertaining.

Just can't imagine a prettier city.

Home again, home again.
Hey look, a mountain showed up this morning.
(Click the photo for more.) I went hiking today. I was trying to get closer to Mt Rainier but most of the roads were already closed for the season. So instead, I went as far as I could and then parked and wandered off into the woods. I hiked a total of around 8 miles and I swear 1/2 of that was uphill. I was aiming to get to something called the Reflection Lakes but I was afraid of it getting dark before I could get all the way back to my car (and it was another 6 miles round trip from where I was). I think I'll take hiking up as a hobby.
Hello Seattle!
Last one.
End of day three. This blurry photo is Oregon's welcome sign. I pushed it to 810 miles today for a grand total of 2287 over three days. I should be in Seattle tomorrow. I'm very tired of driving.
Sunset in Idaho. It smells like hay.

Louisville, Kentucky – Friday morning, four Pakistani-American doctors dressed in business suits and medical scrubs sat in one of this city's most popular breakfast spots and fretted. At an adjacent table, a middle-aged woman grew visibly nervous when their native land was mentioned. One of the doctors, a 47-year-old cardiologist, was despondent.
"We were all praying this wouldn't happen," he told me. "No matter what you do in your community, that's the label that is attached."
Another doctor worried that years of outreach efforts by the city's 10,000-strong Muslim community, a mix of Bosnians, Somalis and Iraqis, would be lost. Thursday, he sent a letter to the local newspaper condemning the Boston attack "no matter who committed it." When news broke Friday that the two suspects were Chechen Muslims, his family grew nervous.
"Five minutes ago my mom called from Copenhagen to see if I was ok," the 41-year-old geriatrician said. "It rattles all of us."
Clearly, Bostonians have and will suffer the most from the marathon bombings. Hundreds of thousands of innocent people "sheltered in place" in and around Boston Friday. The injured now face months, if not years, of arduous recuperation. And the families of the dead will never recover.

r Volume XV I i1 4 . JS 1 ' , . N ? i, ' rfiC f y- Weber College has the latest things when it comes to education as you can see by these pretty maids, Jeanette Ripplinger, Carmen Petty, Gay Jones, and Barbara Hampton. These girls are examples of Weber College's future school teachers, with Charles Bennett representing the men. 'Operation Turkey' Is AMS Project For Needy Families for Thanksgiving This year for the first time in recent history the Associated Men are forming thirty groups of fifteen each to fill Thanksgiving baskets for poor families. The names of the families will be obtained through the city and county welfare offices. The fifteen men assigned to each group will contribute enough to make a good Thanksgiving dinner for a family'' which otherwise would not have such. The Home Economics Department has offered to make a list of the foods essential for a family's Thanksgiving dinner with enough food left over for perhaps a few days' supply. Each Man Contributes Each man in the day school will receive a phone call or will be contacted at school in the next few days. Each will be a member of Alpha, Beta, or other such designated group of fifteen. The contribution from each man will be a low figure so that nobody will be hurt financially. This will help make Thanksgiving have more than just a commercial meaning, and will add the true spirit of Thanksgiving to the men who participate. It is hoped that 98 of the men in the student body ' will assist in Operation Turkey. On Tourist Agenda Geodiscipulus' Fall banquet will be held Saturday, November 24, at the Mansion House. There will be entertainment during the feast and arrangements are being made to view field trip pic tures, followed by dancing. Make reservations as early as possible with Walter Buss in W. C. 107.

Institute. In charge of the affair is Dr. William Stratford who outlined the purpose, by saying: "In the past few years a get acquainted reception has been held at graduation time. This year the Associated Men's students, assisted by the Associated Women's students and the faculty, were determined to have the parents and faculty, as well as the students, become better acquainted during the first quarter of the two-years of college rather than wait until the very last.

The 700 mile trip was flavored with everything from hot, dry sand to cold, wet snow. Leaving Saturday morning, the two cars and the school truck, the "Red Turtle", headed south to Springville, then over the hump to Price. At Green River, a side trip was taken to Crystal Geyser, then on around the Book Cliffs to base camp on the Colorado River near Moab. Enticing View Sunday, the 17 members and guests piled into the truck and bounced out to Hatch point on the Colorado. The view below looked so enticing that the group drove back to Monticello and then down Indian Creek to the bottom of Hatch Point. A rich sunset deepened the colors of nearly one thousand-foot red sandstone cliffs, while long shadows gradually swallowed up the light inside the canyon. Hearty Eaters Supper that night spaghetti and meatballs, was forced down by the tub-fulls until people were mumbling "Noodles" during their sleep, and everyone had a rather limp appearance the next morning. Another side trip Monday was to Arches National , Monument. For the first time on the trip the clouds rolled in at Arches and throughout the drive home, intermittent snow and rain were encountered. Participants Those taking the trip were: Hubert C. Lambert, Junior Lambert, of Farmington; Bill Markham, Brigham City; Noel Baker, Green-river; Darlene Van Sickle, Plain City; Gerry Stockham, Sunset; Paul Nixon, Dell Foutz Margaret Patterson, Pearl Baker, Carolyn Merrill, Dick Rowland, Richard Hiett, James Luvaris, and Dr. and Mrs. Aaron Ross of Ogden.

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

If you've been following the new series, The Kingdom of God, the accompanying book, God's Big Picture, offers study questions relating to the promised kingdom taught by Alistair on today's broadcast. Answer the questions to enrich your own personal understanding of the Bible's overarching storyline, or explore the answers with a friend or study group.
God confirms the covenant by repeating His promises. List them under these three headings:
The Galatian Christians are being led astray by false teaching that suggests that it is not enough to believe in Christ but that they also need to obey the Jewish law if they are to be right with God. Paul counters this teaching by pointing them to Abraham.

Canadian Breast Cancer Chemo Regimen May Be Superior to Standard Chemo
Results from a Canadian-led clinical trial suggest that a standard chemotherapy combination regimen for breast cancer is not as effective as chemotherapy regimens more commonly used in Canada in preventing recurrence of breast cancer. The preliminary findings were presented by the lead researchers December 17 at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
The trial involved 2,104 women under age 60 in Canada and the U.S. who were diagnosed with lymph node-positive or high-risk, node-negative breast cancer, which accounts for almost 50 percent of breast cancer cases in North America. Following surgery, they were randomly assigned to one of three different 6-month, intravenous treatment regimens: AC/T (doxorubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel administered every 3 weeks), one of the standard of care regimens used in the United States; CEF (cyclophosphamide, epirubicin and fluorouracil), which was developed and used in Canada; or the experimental regimen dose-dense EC/T (epirubicin and cyclophosphamide followed by paclitaxel).

Director's Office Reorganizing to Better Support NCI
With budgets declining in 2005, 2006, and now, apparently, in 2007, there has been an absolutely essential NCI-wide effort to downsize. This process has, of course, affected our extramural grantees, but every effort has been made - and continues to be made - toward downsizing the infrastructure that supports the activities of the Institute, as well. For example, efforts are underway to improve work efficiency, to ensure that we are spending every infrastructure support dollar wisely, and to streamline how specific NCI offices work together as a team, so that we can continue to respond to changing needs, both within and outside the Institute. We recognize that the realities of a decreasing annual appropriation, the increasing demands of an expanding extramural research community, and the changes at NIH resulting from the recent passage of the NIH reauthorization bill require immediate action.
The Office of the Director (OD) is the home of almost all of NCI's support structure and, therefore, has been the subject of much of our reviewing and planning over the past 6 months. Using the recommendations of the Executive Committee (EC) based upon a series of staff presentations and detailed personnel and budget reviews, we have been working through a reorganization of the OD, with the ultimate goal of enhancing how it supports NCI - and doing so at significant cost savings.
