Like sports, popular music has its share of legends and all-stars, and is also choc full of support players who don't get the recognition but are as worthy of the household named greats they backed.
And where the all stars, from the Rolling Stones to Beyonce, make their way into town with much press and fanfare, the supporting greats tend to make their rounds a little quieter, but heralded with as much fervor as the greats by those in the know.
Save for Americana fans in the know and voracious liner notes readers, Buddy Miller isn't the first name that comes to mind when it comes to lighting up marquees, but his pedigree on stages and in studios is stellar.
Over the decades, he has collaborated, as musician, producer or songwriter, with the varied likes of Emmylou Harris, Robert Plant, Steve Earle, John Fogerty, Patty Griffin and Dolly Parton – and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Two years ago, he added a Grammy to his mantle for his behind-the-boards work for Griffin's "Downtown Church," which took home the Best Traditional Gospel Trophy.
Active in Nashville for decades with a handful of acclaimed sets released in his own right and with wife Julie Miller, last year saw the release of "Buddy & Jim," a collaboration with fellow acclaimed musician and songsmith Jim Lauderdale.
Following Miller and Lauderdale to Chicago four days later is Charlie Musselwhite, who is to ardent blues fans what Miller is to Americana/Alt Country aficionados.
Reared in Mississippi, harmonica extraordinaire Musselwhite made his way to the Windy City in the `60s, where he performed alongside legends of the genre such as Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Sunny Boy Williamson and Howlin' Wolf. Elected into the Blues Hall of Fame three years ago, Musselwhite has released more than two dozen sets on his own over the course of the last four decades-plus.
Last month saw the release of "Get Up!" a collaboration between Musselwhite and Ben Harper, which has seen the elder statesman receiving some of the best reviews and exposure of his career.

Bob Kempainen
Bob Kempainen, a pulmonary specialist at the University of Minnesota Medical Center, has run the eighth-fastest marathon by an American (2:08:47) but earned a rep as a tough guy by spewing six times during the 1996 Olympic trials marathon ... and winning the race.
"The adrenaline and the anticipation leading up to a big race primes you to put up with a lot of discomfort.
My focus was definitely internal. I ran the first 20 miles of a marathon on autopilot, and the last 10K I was going as hard as I could. I was trying to go as close to that edge as possible without having to slow down.
It took every smidgeon of mental energy to move forward. I think if I'd tried to visualize or meditate, it would have taken mental energy and I would have slowed down. I was too tired to calculate my splits. I was too tired to hit my watch for splits. Maybe if I practiced it, distraction or visualization would work.
I wasn't that great of a kicker, I had little leg speed, so I would brace myself for a kick maybe 800 meters or three-quarter mile from the finish and then just go over that line and throw in everything and the kitchen sink. That last 10K, I was thinking about reserving something for the kick.
I set landmarks for myself – I'll go another quarter-mile and see how I feel. Getting to the next mile marker, losing someone or catching someone also kept me going mentally.
I don't know how people can run four marathons a year. After a marathon, I was spent, mentally and physically. I couldn't crank out great race after great race. Maybe it had something to do with being able to dig deep, but not being able to do so very often. "
Ryan Hall
From high school standout to the next big thing in U.S. distance running, Ryan Hall has posted the second-fastest marathon time by an American – 2:06:17.
"I think about Jesus on the cross. I think about my wife. I think about my family watching the race at home. Sometimes I really don't think about anything. I find the best way to manage pain is not to have a set formula because different things work at different times. What matters is that the thoughts are positive.
I haven't found games to be too effective for me. I know that Paula [Radcliffe] likes to count and I tried that but it didn't work for me. I like to engage with my surroundings. In London I checked out some of the cool landmarks we ran by, and in Boston, I ran as close to the screaming girls at Wellesley as possible. When I was at the trials in New York City, I made eye contact with spectators to feed off their energy.
I never try something in a race, physically or mentally, that I haven't tried in practice. It's good to go into a race thinking I'm just trying to repeat what I've already done in practice.
My best performances haven't been because I overcame more pain than ever before – they came rather effortlessly. I think you see this a lot in sports. The guy who gets last topples over at the finish, where the guy who wins runs through the finish line and straight into the victory lap. It's more about working with myself than trying to beat myself.
I've grown up doing hard manual labor periodically and had to learn to deal with discomfort. When I started running it was natural for me to push myself very hard. Managing pain is like anything – the more you have to do it, the better at it you'll become. "

A bill on Governor Bob McDonnell's desk could allow religious or political clubs to choose who can join and who cannot, a move that has raised civil rights and discrimination concerns.
The proposal gives student groups the ability to limit memberships, allowing only "persons committed to [the organization's] mission," according to Senate Bill 1074. The bill applies to Virginia public universities, and would end a policy of including all students who seek memberships.
"Anyone should be able to join whatever club they want," said VCU student Brionne Burns in an interview Monday. "People at public schools shouldn't be excluded from joining any club."
The bill's chief patron, Sen. Mark D. Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg), said the point of the legislation is to protect free speech, and to keep subversive students from interfering with freedom of assembly.
"You may have a campus atheist group, but the school's Baptists and Pentecostals decide they want to take over the club's leadership," said Obenshain in a phone interview Monday. "It is not discrimination."
The ACLU of Virginia opposes the measure, contending that public schools cannot fund exclusionary student groups.
"What the bill does, is say, 'you have a right to be funded, to engage in your discriminatory behavior," said Claire Guthrie Gastañaga, Executive Director of the ACLU of Virginia. "It's precedent set by the U.S. Supreme Court that student groups must operate with nondiscrimination policies."
Obenshain said the bill does not conflict with the Supreme Court since it does not allow for malicious or hateful discrimination.
"If you were excluding people from the College Democrats or College Republicans, for reasons that have nothing to do with the club's mission, you would be in trouble," Obenshain said.
Governor McDonnell is in the process of reviewing the legislation, and has not indicated if he will sign the bill.

The Power of Three Trailers!
Get ready for one of the stand-out episodes of Doctor Who since 2010 this week with Chris Chibnall's The Power of Three.
You'll have seen a few shots of it in the "Next Week" preview at the end of A Town Called Mercy, and this is an episode that is truly not to be missed, as the following quote and trailers demonstrate…
Every time we flew away with the Doctor we'd just become part of his life. But he never stood still long enough to become part of ours. Except once… the year of the slow invasion.
The Power of Three is scheduled for the 7.30 pm – 8.15 pm timeslot on BBC One and BBC HD this Saturday, September 22nd, and airs a little later on BBC America 9/8c. For more previews, check our gallery!
One Response to The Power of Three Trailers!
Ahhhh i feel the excitement growing; I am looking forward to this episode. I truly loved "Mercy", but this one looks wonderful. The roller coaster ride that is Dr Who is amazing. Zombie Daleks to Dinosaurs to the Old West to an Earth based adventure. It's nice to see that the Tardis' ability to go anywhere and anywhen is being utilized so well.
Anyway, thanks for the links, wonderful stuff. I do however gotta slip over to the who site to see if there's a "mini behind the scenes".

Bartoli Beats Kvitova, Prevails In Eastbourne
Published June 18, 2011 12:00
EASTBOURNE, England - Down a match point in the first round, it wasn't looking like her tournament. But Marion Bartoli never stopped believing and after surviving Lucie Safarova she kept on going, and Saturday she toughed out a 61 46 75 win over another Czech lefty, Petra Kvitova, for her first grass court title at the Premier-level AEGON International in Eastbourne.
Bartoli had to fight for her life in her first match of the week, down 5-3 in the third set and a match point at 6-5 in the tie-break before surviving Safarova, 63 36 76(7). She didn't lose a set in her next three matches and looked headed for another straightfoward win as she built a 61 31 lead against Kvitova in the final.
In her first grass court final but a semifinalist at Wimbledon last year, the No.5-seeded Kvitova used her big power game to push the match to a third, right to 5-all - but Bartoli broke and served it out, Kvitova misfiring a forehand to end it.
Kvitova compiled the bigger numbers in the final with 40 winners and 41 errors (Bartoli had 14 winners and 20 errors). But Bartoli had bigger numbers on the bigger points (5/11 on break points compared to 3/10 for Kvitova).
Bartoli captured her sixth WTA title and first on grass. It was her second Premier-level WTA title, following her win in Stanford in 2009. She has now won 13 of her last 15 matches going into the grass court major, Wimbledon.
"We were seven out of the Top 10 players plus Venus and Serena, so it was definitely a very hard task to win the tournament," the No.9-ranked Bartoli said. "It was a huge challenge again today and it's great to come up with a win here.
"I've always loved coming to Eastbourne, even when I'm not winning the title!"
With rain washing the entire Friday schedule out, both women had to double up on Saturday morning, Bartoli routing No.7 seed Sam Stosur in an hour and 10 minutes, 63 61, and Kvitova ending Daniela Hantuchova's run with a 76(9) 42 retirement victory - Hantuchova retired with a left abdominal strain.
"Playing two matches back-to-back in the same day, I wasn't used to that anymore. It reminds me of my junior days," Bartoli added. "But I think it was an entertaining match. Petra was hitting the ball very hard and deep, so all credit to her for coming back. I was fighting and trying to find a way to win."
"I wasn't able to win today, but it was a big step for me this week. It was good practice for Wimbledon," Kvitova commented afterwards. "The conditions were tough - I was confused all week here, because you have to fight against the wind and the other player. But it was the same for both players."
No.1 seeds Kveta Peschke and Katarina Srebotnik recorded a 59-minute, 63 60 win over No.2 seeds Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond to take the doubles title. It was Peschke and Srebotnik's fifth WTA title together, following wins at Indian Wells and New Haven last year and at Auckland and Doha earlier this year. It was Peschke's 19th individual WTA doubles title and Srebotnik's 26th.
"It was weird to play semifinals and finals in the same day, and we're very happy to win them both," Srebotnik said. "Actually the whole week here wasn't easy to play because of the windy and rainy conditions, but we dealt with it well. We're delighted to get another title under our belt, especially going into Wimbledon."
"We played some good matches here so I hope we'll have a good tournament at Wimbledon," Peschke said. "It was great preparation. I hope we go far."
Huber and Raymond have really come on strong in their last few events, and this week they reached their very first WTA doubles final together.
"We had a great semifinal. It was quite unusual playing two matches in one day - it was like an anticlimax coming from such a great match and not playing so great in the final," Huber said. "All credit to our opponents though, they played great. We're really looking forward to Wimbledon - it's the biggest one for us."
Huber's parents attended the final. "They've been following me around more this year - when you're getting towards the end of your career your parents become even more important!" she declared. "They'll be cooking a lot for me during Wimbledon - and for Lisa also, she's more than welcome to come and eat too!"

By: Nikki Ibarra, KOB Eyewitness News 4
While lawmakers continue to fight over the Affordable Care Act on the brink of government shutdown, the new insurance marketplaces where millions of uninsured Americans will go to shop for plans are scheduled to go live on Tuesday, Oct. 1.
KOB Eyewitness News 4's Facebook page has been flooded with questions about affordable coverage. Who does this apply to? Lovelace Health Plan told KOB people who can't afford coverage through their work and people who don't have health insurance.
One question KOB has been getting a lot is whether or not there is there a penalty for those who don't sign up for affordable coverage. KOB spoke with Lovelace Health Plan and found out there is a penalty for uninsured individuals. In the first year, it will be $94 per uninsured adult and $47.50 per uninsured child.
One viewer asked KOB on our Facebook page, "How does this affect Native Americans?" Marlene Baca with Lovelace Health Plan said they will have some special exceptions when it comes to enrolling in the exchange.
"When we look at the subsidy amounts for other individuals, the Native Americans will qualify for no cost share at less than 300 percent of the federal poverty level versus all none Native Americans would be qualifying at less than 250 percent," Baca said.
Shelly wrote on our Facebook page asking, "What if you're low income but make too much income for Medicare? Do you qualify for financial assistance?"
"Yes you do. There are going to be two types of subsidies that will be available," Baca said. "So an individual that is less than 250 percent of federal poverty level will qualify or premium reduction as well as cost share reduction and any individual that is in between the 250 percent and 500 percent of federal poverty level will qualify for premium assistance."
As for deadlines to sign up, affordable care coverage won't begin until Jan. 1, 2014, so individuals and families will have until the end of the year to shop for a plan.
KOB welcomes a lively and courteous discussion as long as you follow the rules of conduct set forth in our Terms of Use. Comments are not pre-screened before they post.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WDRB) -- In an afternoon filled with closed-door meetings, rejected proposals and counter proposals, few details emerged as Kentucky lawmakers worked late Monday to hammer out a plan aimed at fixing the state's growing pension deficit.
All told, the combined unfunded liability for the state's pension system is more than $33 billion. That includes retirement plans for state workers, teachers and state police.
"From having something on the table, we are much closer but there could still be moving parts," Governor Steve Beshear told reporters Monday.
As of 8 p.m. Monday, House Speaker Greg Stumbo said he had a counter offer that he hoped would pass the Democratic-controlled House but offered few details. He said the offer included "a change" to the two cent reduction in the gas tax Gov. Steve Beshear had proposed earlier in the day.
But when asked about the counter offer, Senate President Robert Stivers told reporters he and other Senate leaders had not been briefed on one.
"As to a specific counter offer we have seen none," Stivers said after emerging from another closed-door meeting with the governor Monday night.
Gov. Steve Beshear's pension proposal included a plan to cut 2 cents off the gas tax in 2014 and completely eliminate a $20 tax rebate for every Kentuckian. But that idea was flatly rejected by House Democrats during their first closed-door meeting late Monday afternoon.
The House was set to resume its work at 10 a.m. Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.

Cognac Regions
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.
Petite Champagne : some 16,000 hectares of clay and a more compact chalky layer of soil. Petit Champagne is very much of the same quality, but a touch lighter. It's vineyards lie to the south-west and south-east of Grande Champagne.
Fine Champagne : The blending of Grande and Petite Champagne with a minimum of 50% of Grande Champagne is called "Fine Champagne".
Borderies : only 4,000 hectares of unique soil on the plateau above Charente river. The eau de vie has a slight nutty taste. Borderies, which lie around the town of Burie (north-west of City of Cognac), is the smallest of the crus in the terms of acreage. Eaux-de-vie from Borderies has rich, flowery aromas and it is known as "…Cognac that ladies prefer".
Fins Bois : 37,000 hectares of soil. characterized by quick aging environment. A subtle flowery bouquet characterizes this eau de vie. The largest, and by far the intriguing cru, is Fins Bois. Geographically, it rings the other three crus. It lies, approximately, in the triangle between the towns of Rouilliac, Matha and Pons. It has a rich, full, strong aromas with a touch of the maritime climate.
Bons Bois : less chalky but more earthy soil of 16,000 hectares that is well reflected in the eau de vie.
Bois Ordinaires et Bois Communs (Bois a Terroir); 30,000 hectares of soil influenced by the Atlantic climate. Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires are the exterior crus heavily influenced by the climate of the Atlantic ocean. They contribute less and less to the overall production of Cognac but are, nevertheless, known to produce some interesting Cognacs.

reasons why:
I know I am greek
- I like hummus
- I like to smash shit and say OMMPAAAA
I think I am asian
- I look asian
- I find other asians attractive
- I seriously look asian, like people have asked me before
- I can't drive
I think I am hispanic
- I love all food that comes from all hispanic countries
- I like guys who play soccer and their soccer asses
- I have an awesome spanish accent (for a white girl)
- I have this strange instinct to dance whenever I hear latin music
- I got hips like a spanish gurllll
- I think hispanic guys are hot (but who doesn't)
I think I am black
- My dad is BFF's with all the Kenyans at his work
- I have a huge ass
I know I am white
- Because I wish I wasn't
…..and here, ladies and gentlemen, we have the privilege-denying white person in their natural habitat. Watch as they deny any sort of benefit from being white, while simultaneously "identifying as other races" simply because of their own false, preconceived notions of said minorities! Observe their complete lack of understanding in terms of what is offensive, racist bullshit and what is not. Note the completely misplaced sense of self-pity.
(And, ok, somebody please enlighten me as to "what asian looks like" because I SWEAR TO GOD ASIA A FUCKING CONTINENT AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF SURROUNDING ISLANDS and somehow white people know what that entire huge conglomeration of people "look like")
Also "My dad knows all the Kenyans from work"?

We had biodynamic Trinchero 2001 Barbera d'Asti Superiore tonight. Pouring it right after uncorking, we were surprised at the big whiff of cherry cough syrup and alcohol (13.5). As the meal progressed, the scent was less overpowering and we got a bit of greenery, say Swiss chard.
The wine is tart, even sour, by itself. But it went great with a light meal of salad, shrimp tortillitas a la Mark Bittman, and cheese. This is a meal we usually eat with Txakoli or Vermentino or some other southern WHITE wine, though—so much for the old cliché.
This is the lesser of the two Trinchero barbera bottlings, and we got it for $13 from Garagiste in 2007. Based on tonight's meal, I'd buy more of this and consider shelling out for Trinchero's top wine—has anyone here tried it?

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced April 1 that President Barack Obama has nominated Air Force Maj. Gen. Wendy Masiello to be director of the Defense Contract Management Agency. Charlie Williams was director of DCMA until late 2013; Deputy Director James Russell has been running the agency on an acting basis since then.
If confirmed by the Senate, Masiello would also be promoted to lieutenant general.
Masiello currently serves as the Air Force's deputy assistant secretary for contracting -- a role in which she has pushed the Air Force to be an early adopter of the General Services Administration's OASIS contracting vehicle, and warned publicly of the risks posed by agencies' shortage of experienced contracting personnel. In 2011, she won a Federal 100 award for her work as the Air Force's program executive officer for combat and mission support.
No replacement has yet been named for Masiello's current job of Air Force deputy assistant secretary for contracting.

Affymetrix Inc. Stock Upgraded (AFFX)
- ACTIVE STOCK TRADERS: Check out TheStreet's special offer for Real Money, headlined by Jim Cramer, now!
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Life Sciences Tools & Services industry. The net income increased by 941.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$3.67 million to $30.89 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 4.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.7%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- AFFYMETRIX INC reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, AFFYMETRIX INC reported poor results of -$0.40 versus -$0.15 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings (-$0.15 versus -$0.40).
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Life Sciences Tools & Services industry and the overall market, AFFYMETRIX INC's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- AFFX's stock share price has done very poorly compared to where it was a year ago: Despite any rallies, the net result is that it is down by 25.85%, which is also worse that the performance of the S&P 500 Index. Investors have so far failed to pay much attention to the earnings improvements the company has managed to achieve over the last quarter. Although its share price is down sharply from a year ago, do not assume that it can now be tagged as cheap and attractive. The reality is that, based on its current price in relation to its earnings, AFFX is still more expensive than most of the other companies in its industry.

The Creative Monopoly (Run from competition!)
Competition is very tempting and can be like a plague to creating change.
(opinion) The 2 most important parts of this article:
- "In fact, Thiel argues, we often shouldn't seek to be really good competitors. We should seek to be really good monopolists. Instead of being slightly better than everybody else in a crowded and established field, it's often more valuable to create a new market and totally dominate it. The profit margins are much bigger, and the value to society is often bigger, too"
- "Candidates enter politics wanting to be authentic and change things. But once the candidates enter the campaign, they stop focusing on how to be change-agents. They and their staff spend all their time focusing on beating the other guy. They hone the skills of one-upsmanship. They get engulfed in a tit-for-tat competition to win the news cycle. Instead of being new and authentic, they become artificial mirror opposites of their opponents. Instead of providing the value voters want — change — they become canned tacticians, hoping to eke out a slight win over the other side"

Opened on 24 December 1904 as the London Coliseum Theatre of Varieties, the theatre was designed by theatrical architect Frank Matcham (designer of the London Palladium) for impresario Oswald Stoll.[1] Their ambition was to build the largest and finest music hall, described as the 'people's palace of entertainment' of its age.[2] At the time of construction, it was the only theatre in Europe that provided lifts for taking patrons to the upper levels of the theatre, and was the first theatre in England to have a triple revolve installed on its stage.[1] It is currently the home of the English National Opera and English National Ballet.
The inaugural performance was a variety bill on 24 December 1904.
In 1908, the London Coliseum was host to a cricket match between Middlesex and Surrey.[3]
In 1911, dramatist W. S. Gilbert produced his last play here, The Hooligan.
The theatre changed its name from the London Coliseum to the Coliseum Theatre between 1931 and 1968 when a run of 651 performances of the musical comedy White Horse Inn began on 8 April 1931. It reverted to the original name when the Sadler's Wells Opera Company moved there in 1968. The Company changed its name to the English National Opera in 1974 and bought the freehold of the building for £12.8m.
Beginning on 16 June 1963, the theatre became the second of London's three Cinerama Theatres, initially showing the three-strip Technicolor version for the first 5 months, then showing the 70mm single-strip film until 22 May 1968 when it screened its final movie.[1]
It has the widest proscenium arch in London and was one of the first to have electric lighting. It was built with a revolving stage although this was rarely used. The theatre retains many of its original features and was Grade II* listed by English Heritage in September 1960.[4][5] The design team for the refurbishment included the architects RHWL and Arup for acousticians and building engineers.
The theatre hosted both the 2004 and 2006 Royal Variety Performances. The theatre is also the London base for performances by English National Ballet, who perform regular seasons throughout the year when not on tour.
Technical aspects[edit]
Owing to the constricted site on which it was constructed the wing space is limited, although the stage depth partly compensates for this. The stage is not raked.

DIFF is proud to announce a second line-up of stellar international films in the Cinema of the World section for the 10th edition of the Dubai International Film Festival (DIFF) which takes place from the 6th – 14th December, 2013.
The winner of the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival; "Fruitvale Station", is a confident, touching and, finally, shattering directorial début by Ryan Coogler. Produced by Forest Whitaker the film follows the true story of Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan), a 22-year-old Bay Area resident, who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family, and strangers on the last day of 2008.
Academy Award winners Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman star in "The Railway Man" the true story of Eric Lomax, a British soldier in World War II who endured gruelling conditions as a forced labourer on the Thailand Death Railway after being captured by Japanese troops. Director Jonathan Teplitzky's adaptation of Lomax's bestselling memoir chronicles the stunning true story of one man's epic journey toward forgiving those who had done him unspeakable harm.
From the acclaimed filmmaker Andrzej Wajda and Poland's candidate for the Academy Awards in the Foreign Language Film category comes "Walesa. Man of Hope". The impressive, decades-spanning biopic is the story of one of the most famous and heroic men in Polish history, former dockworker, Solidarity founder, and eventual Polish president Lech Walesa, who helped millions of people by leading a revolution that ended up not only toppling a dictatorship in his own country, but also eating away at the crumbling edifice of the Soviet empire in the 1980s.
Another contender for the Oscar in the Foreign Language Film category is Georgia's submission "In Bloom" directed by Nana Ekvtimishvili and Simon Gross. This absorbing and powerful coming-of-age drama follows two young girls navigating the oppressive familial and societal expectations of post-Soviet Georgia. This fascinating story is loosely based on debut writer and co-director Ekvtimishvili's childhood memories of growing up in newly independent Georgia in the early 1990s.
Academy Award winning and one of the most important and influential non-fiction filmmakers of his generation, Errol Morris (The Fog Of War) returns with the documentary "The Unknown Known". The gripping exploration details the career and philosophy of former U.S Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. Using declassified memos, Morris guides Rumsfeld through a discussion of his controversial career as a high-level executive under four different Republican presidents. Such absorbing topics as Vietnam, the Cold War, Desert Storm and the War on Terror are all examined through the words of one of America's most divisive and complex public figures.
"The Referee" ("L'arbitro") is the brilliant first feature by Italian filmmaker and writer Paolo Zucca, a development of his earlier short film with the same title which won the Prix Spécial du Jury at Clermont-Ferrand in 2009. The drastic reversal of fortunes for two Sardinian third league teams, the corruption scandal that destroyed an international referee's career and the ancient codes of sheep breeding are among the stories woven around each other in this unique football comedy-drama.
Slovenian director Rok Bicek's gripping debut feature "Class Enemy" is loosely based on actual events about a high-school class that spins out of control. The compelling film revolves around a group of teens who blame their demanding new teacher and his demeaning methods when one of their classmates commits suicide, leading to rising tension as the situation approaches a boiling point. Only gradually do the students come to realise that things are not always as black and white as they seem, but at that point it may be too late.
Nashen Moodley, DIFF's Co-Director of the Cinema of the World programme, said: "This year's Cinema of the World slate is guaranteed to take you on an emotional rollercoaster this December. From inspiring and uplifting to heartbreaking and shocking, the diversity of the stories in this section is truly remarkable. The performances are magnetic and engaging with acclaimed directors at the helm, and it's a pleasure to present some of the most anticipated films of the year."

It was called to combat several heresies, the most significant of which was the Monophysite heresy. The term monophysite has a prefix and a root. The prefix, mono, means "one," and the root, phusis, is translated as "nature." So monophusis or monophysite simply means "one nature." Keep Reading

The Human Dilemma
from R.C. Sproul Nov 18, 2013 Category: ArticlesWe have been led to believe by an endless series of lies that we have nothing to fear from God's scorecard. We can be confident that if He is capable of judgment at all, His judgment will be gentle. If we all fail His test—no fear—He will grade on a curve. After all, it is axiomatic that to err is human and to forgive is divine. This axiom is so set in concrete that we assume that forgiveness is not merely a divine option, but a veritable prerequisite for divinity itself. We think that not only may God be forgiving, but He must be forgiving or He wouldn't be a good God. How quick we are to forget the divine prerogative: "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion." (Rom. 9:15 NKJV) Keep Reading

However, it is rare to find such a spot among Presbyterians. We are known as God's frozen chosen for a reason. It has been said that the Methodists like to shout "Fire," the Baptists like to shout "Water," and the Presbyterians like to softly say, "Order, order." Nevertheless, in spite of the idiosyncrasies of various ecclesiastical persuasions, the function of the word amen far transcends denominational usages in the modern era. Keep Reading

D I S C L A I M E R!!!!!!!!!!This is a general disclaimer for any number of videos. The video that this disclaimer is attached to is meant to (a) deceive and (b) confuse you the watcher. It is advisable to ignore this video all together, however viewing of it can be safely performed if done so with a humorous attitude. Here are the facts, which will dispel any information presented within the attached video:1) Jesus Christ was a real person, and dozens of accounts (including those of various Romans, Egyptians, & Greeks) confirm this fact. http://www.westarkchurchofchrist.org/lib rary/extrabiblical.htm(2) Jesus Christ completely fulfilled all the 48 major prophesies that were foretold no less than 300 years before his arrival about his birth (the place & time), manner of death (people's reactions, piercing of side, & burial), and resurrection. By using the modern science of probability in reference to just eight of these prophecies, the chance that any man might have lived to fulfill all eight prophecies is one in 100 trillion! Jesus WAS God incarnate. http://www.eons.com/blogs/entry/1332824- How-Many-Bible-prophecies-Did-Jesus-Fulf i ll-(3) The Bible is the written word of God. God impressed His message upon the hearts of those who composed the 64 books of the True Bible. The Coptic texts and Apocrypha are likely not of God, but rather made to confuse the minds of those who know no better. The Dead Sea Scrolls demonstrated that there was no historic deviation from the reproduction of the word of God. The significance of the scrolls relates in a large part to the field of textual criticism and how accurately the Bible has been transcribed over time. Before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest Hebrew manuscripts of the Bible were Masoretic texts dating to 10th century CE such as the Aleppo Codex. The biblical manuscripts found among the Dead Sea Scrolls push that date back a millennium to the 2nd century BCE. http://www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/D efault.aspx?id=387754(4) The world is only 6000 years old, and created as Genesis describes. Mainstream science generally disregards or completely hides the evidence to support this, however many independent research groups have made it there mission to demonstrate the evidence for Young Earth Creationism. http://www.youtube.com/user/MrMonkipuzzl e?feature=mhee#g/c/3F513411703FAADB(5) The is no reincarnation. This is the only life you get, the only chance you have. Don't let New Agers convince you that life is like a video game, with endless chances to learn new lessons and fix past transgressions. This is it. Past this life is the infinite of Heaven and Hell. Which one you check into eventually is up to you. True immortality can only be achieved through the sincere acceptance of Jesus Christ and His teachings. http://www.christiananswers.net/q-eden/e dn-r009.html(6) Evolution is a lie. Just as a watch requires a watch maker, so to life requires a Creator. There are masses of biological evidence to demonstrate that evolution is a lie, perpetuated by those who (a) either don't know any better, (b) take for granted it is a reality, or (c) intentionally teach it to deceive those who might otherwise believe in the Word of God. http://www.youtube.com/user/MrMonkipuzzl e?feature=mhsn#p/c/4AB728512469FF64/1/lJ N gTUhTJvg(7) Aliens are likely demonic. There is no direct portion of the Bible that states as much, but the Bible is clear that Satan will use whatever he can to deceive the world. While the vast majority of UFO and alien encounters are either mistaken identity or fraud, the fact that this phenomenon is real is undeniable. There messages, indeed their very existence, are meant to deceive the masses, and sadly its working. Abductees have made claims that there are smells associated with the ETs, including that of burning materials and rotten eggs; fire and brimstone. Additionally, there are accounts of ETs fleeing at the name Jesus Christ or God. Why would ETs have any kind of reaction to the True God of this world? The Bible tells us that demonic entities have just such a reaction. http://www.creationists.org/biblical-per spective-of-ufos-and-aliens.html#reasons (8) New Age beliefs are not only silly, but dangerous. Satan will do anything to make man question the authority, indeed the existence, of God. The New Age movement is just the latest weapon in his arsenal. With Reincarnation, Psychics, Metaphysics, the Galactic Federation, and Indigo Children, the deception is growing everyday. Don't be deceived. We are living in the End times, as the fulfillment of dozens of prophesies will attest. Be saved. http://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual -life/recognize-the-danger-of-the-new-ag e -movement-1335438.htmlThank you for reading this disclaimer. It will be periodically posted to ensure that everyone has ample opportunity to understand the fallacies of the video to which this disclaimer has been attached. Please message me if you have any questions about the Bible, Jesus, God, or any of the other topics listed here and I'd be happy to discuss it with you. If you are already a Christian, don't let this video lure you into a pagan lifestyle. If you are not yet a Christian, please consider what I said carefully, and investigate it yourself. There is but one way to God, and that's through Jesus Christ. This disclaimer is not being judgmental; it is only stating the facts about our existence here. I'll be praying for you in the meantime.

The New Age movement is demonic, founded and perpetuated by those who have, willingly or not, given themselves over to demonic influences. The deception is strong and many weak-minded and lost people have been and are being deceived! Open you heart and ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins. Accept him into your life and be saved! Do not be as stupid as the demons and Lucifer expect you to be! See the truth!!! John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

More than half of global Fortune 500 companies use SHL's occupational personality questionnaire (OPQ) to assess someone's suitability for a job. Now, the test is available at your fingertips with SHL's iPhone app, iPQ. For $0.99, the app helps young job seekers identify their strengths, suitable careers and personal attributes that could help or hinder them in an interview.
The iPQ Career Planner app, available from iTunes, allows the user to take a test, then generates a report summarizing key skills, best career matches, areas for improvement and advice on what to emphasize in an interview.
"People need to know what their strengths and weaknesses are in order to address them and match their skills to the right job," says Paul Levett, chief product officer, SHLPreVisor, Atlanta.
Whether a person will find the report useful or enlightening depends on his or her level of self-awareness. The results might not justify the dollar spent so much as the test-taking process itself. The app uses the same methods corporations rely on to help make hiring decisions. Going into an interview, it helps to know what to expect.

Keeping children safe
Outlined below are the key safeguarding principles we ask all of our staff and volunteers to adhere to for any fundraising event involving children and young people:
- Ensure that the welfare and safety of children is a paramount consideration in any fundraising event where children will be present
- Treat all children with respect and value their views and wishes
- Wherever possible seek parental consent before children become involved in or attend a fundraising event
- Wherever possible ensure that parents/carers or other responsible adults attend the events with the children.
- Where this isn't possible, endeavour to secure an emergency contact number for a parent/carer so that they can be contacted if necessary during the event
- Always ensure there are a minimum of two adults at events with children
- Try not to get into a situation where you are alone with a child outside of the sight or hearing of other people
- Don't remain in contact with a child after an event for any reason other than for NSPCC fundraising purposes
- Keep the minimum amount of personal information about children, and ensure you comply with the principles of data protection in storing and using the information
- Only take photos of children at events with parental consent
- Where possible get references or checks on people and organisations who you ask to provide a service at your fundraising event
- Report immediately any concerns you have about a child, or any allegations made to you about a child or by a child
- Seek advice from child protection and safeguarding experts when needed.
The comprehensive NSPCC safeguarding policy and further information on safeguarding children at your event can be obtained by contacting your local office.

text: tissue from the abdominal wall creates a hole in the right side of the abdominal wall through which the abdominal contents can herniate. In this situation the bowel is exposed to the amniotic fluid throughout much of pregnancy. This exposure results in thickening and shortening of the bowel. Following delivery and surgical repair of the gastroschisis, the bowel often does not function properly for weeks to months. Putting the intestines back in the abdominal cavity increases the pressure in the abdomen and also within the chest. Following surgery, this increased pressure in the abdomen can also interfere with lung function. Occasionally, it is necessary to put a chimney on the abdomen, which encloses the bowel. The intestines are then gradually placed back into the abdomen by squeezing on the chimney until the abdomen has stretched enough to allow the complete replacement of the intestines into the abdomen.

March's game against Jose Mourinho's side will signal the much-awaited return of a great European night to Old Trafford, following the disappointment of last season's campaign.
"I've not got a great record against Jose and need to put that right but the main focus will centre around Cristiano," Sir Alex added.
"It's a fantastic tie and hopefully we can get them back here with a good chance.
"It will be absolutely buzzing and we've not had a really good European game for quite a while after last year, so it's a big opportunity for United to kick on and step up in European football again."
