Unofficially, Hume's Comments About Woods & Christianity Split Readers
No, it wasn't a scientific survey. But we thought you might like to know the "results" from our question to Two-Way readers about whether it was wrong for Fox News Channel's Brit Hume to advise golfer Tiger Woods to give up Buddhism and "turn to the Christian faith" for forgiveness and redemption from his sins.
The question attracted 4,377 responses and the split was almost even:
— 51% said it was not wrong for Hume to say what he did.
— 49% said it was wrong for Hume to say what he did.
We've also had 126 comments, so far. Here's a sampling:
Lynda Dempsey (Lyndadian): All Christians need to stand up and be recognized for their beliefs and SHARE the Good News of Jesus Christ. We are directed to do so in the Bible. Do not hide you love of Jesus Christ .... give it away to those who are seeking.
Reality Check (RealityCheckUSA): If Mr. Hume is a earnest Christian and truly believes this, I see no serious problem. But there's an big IF coming. Hume should have done this privately, not in his role as a commentator on a news network. And that's the rub isn't it? His real purpose was to score a few points with the Christian right. That's not very Christ-like of him is it? It's much harder to be a Christian than to play one on TV.
Greg Halvorson (Halvorson): Brit Hume is to be commended for recommending the love and forgiveness of Christ to Woods, a man in need of more than money and physical gratification to fill the gaping hole in his heart.
debra kaplan (writer617): The only person Tiger needs to ask forgiveness from is his wife, not the media or the public. What this all comes down to is she is the wronged party here and he needs to make it right by acting like an adult and not a spoiled kid in a candy store. The news anchor has a right to an opinion, but it sounds very self serving and a headline grab. If Britt really feels this way, a private note would have been classy. This just keeps this mess on the air and in the press so that more people can flap their jaws about it. And Britt gets some public attention for it. Have some consideration for Mrs. Woods, and her children.

The Brooklyn Nets have been in existence for all of a whopping two and a half months, but that's all it took for them to declare dominance in the state.
"Definitely Nets," new acquisition Joe Johnson said when asked which basketball team was the best in New York, according to the New York Daily News. "Brooklyn Nets."
Johnson was set up by the question and was speaking at a pep rally, so his answer was predictable. At least he didn't get as boastful as the Miami Heat during their "Three Kings" intro party (not one, not two, not three …). And at least Johnson didn't get as carried away as Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, who really brought out the comparative crap talking.
"For nearly 40 years the Manhattan Knicks have shown they can't bring a championship to New York, so it's going to take the Brooklyn Nets to get the job done," Markowitz said. "So move over Manhattan — enough air balls. You had your chance."
That's about as strong of a burn as the one from the New Jersey governor who went off on the Nets for leaving the state.
The Knicks made a few moves including signing Jason Kidd and acquiring Marcus Camby, so they should be a playoff team again. The Nets are a better team on paper and should finish with a better record, but I'd be surprised if either team advanced past the second round of the playoffs. Still, it will be fun to watch the teams trade zingers over the years, with the New York tabloids providing a play-by-play and hyping up every angle.

So I just had a minor spill and let everything dry out. Now when I try to boot my laptop, I get one or two beeps on the BIOS splash screen before the laptop shuts down. I can't get to the post screen so I'm not sure what the error is.
I'm sure that the beeps aren't finishing either so I can't accurately determine the symptoms.
Attempted boot without HDD or battery.
Any ideas?

Optilux 4" HID driving light
By Roger
from Vancouver, Washington
The 4" Optilux HID driving light is a great way to add extra light to those very dark back roads or wherever extra light is needed. This light is not a spot light....so, if you are looking for a spot type light then these might not fit the bill for you. These lights will provide a "Driving or Fog style of light. They will provide a "Wall of light" wich I find usefull in my location. I bought 4 of them for my light bar and could not be happier.

Optilux 4" HID lights
By Rlorion
I bought these lihgts because the roads I live on do not have street lights. I also bought them for when I go ATV'ing and I am in the woods and it's very dark. I love the lights, but wish they had a little more of a spot light pattern to them. I have four lights on my light bar and if you need some serious light and don't want to spend a hefty amount of money...these Optilux HID are the way to go.

Melanoma is resistant to most standard chemotherapeutics. We analysed the combined effect of doxorubicin and enzastaurin on cell death of four melanoma cell lines, namely G361, SK-MEL3, A375 and SAN. Enzastaurin IC50 was calculated by measure of growth inhibition with MTS assay and corresponded to 2 μM; the half maximal cytotoxicity of doxorubicin was obtained at 3μM dose. Evaluation of combination index showed synergism (CI>1) or additive effect (CI=1) with all melanoma cell lines, with enzastaurin doses >0.6 μM and doxorubicin doses > 1μM. Combination of the two drugs resulted in increase in caspase 3 and 8 activation, in comparison with activation by single agents. Caspase 8 activation was impaired by TNFR-1 blocking. Our results show doxorubicin stimulated production of TNFα, whereas enzastaurin stimulated TNFR-1 expression on plasmamembrane. The effect on TNFR-1 appeared to be mediated by PKCζ inhibition. Taken together, our findings suggest enzastaurin increases doxorubicin-induced apoptosis of melanoma by a mechanism involving, at least in part, activation of the TNF-α signal.

Receptors, Tnf-related Apoptosis-inducing Ligand
Tumor necrosis factor receptor family members that are widely expressed and play a role in regulation of peripheral immune responses and APOPTOSIS. The receptors are specific for TNF-RELATED APOPTOSIS-INDUCING LIGAND and signal via conserved death domains that associate with specific TNF RECEPTOR-ASSOCIATED FACTORS in the CYTOPLASM.
Tnf-related Apoptosis-inducing Ligand
A transmembrane-protein belonging to the TNF family of intercellular signaling proteins. It is a widely expressed ligand that activates APOPTOSIS by binding to TNF-RELATED APOPTOSIS-INDUCING LIGAND RECEPTORS. The membrane-bound form of the protein can be cleaved by specific CYSTEINE ENDOPEPTIDASES to form a soluble ligand form.
Melanoma, Amelanotic
An unpigmented malignant melanoma. It is an anaplastic melanoma consisting of cells derived from melanoblasts but not forming melanin. (Dorland, 27th ed; Stedman, 25th ed)
Receptors, Tumor Necrosis Factor, Member 10c
A secreted tumor necrosis factor receptor family member that has specificity for TNF-RELATED APOPTOSIS-INDUCING LIGAND. It plays a modulating role in activation of APOPTOSIS signaling.
Apoptosis Inducing Factor
A flavoprotein that functions as a powerful antioxidant in the MITOCHONDRIA and promotes APOPTOSIS when released from the mitochondria. In mammalian cells AIF is released in response to pro-apoptotic protein members of the bcl-2 protein family. It translocates to the CELL NUCLEUS and binds DNA to stimulate CASPASE-independent CHROMATIN condensation.

Ashley Greene
Ashley Greene in J Brand Shorts
Twilight star Ashley Greene was seen out in New York City yesterday (7) doing some shopping with a friend. She was wearing her J Brand 1041 cuffed boyfriend shorts in Goldrush, which she was seen in before, for the trip. I really love these shorts and I wish I had a pair but they seem to be sold out everywhere! My pair that I originally had were too big on me and looked really silly. I hope I can find another pair soon.
I think Ashley is so beautiful, she has the most prettiest hair and a great figure. I always love her style and the denim that she wears. She seems to be a huge fan of J Brand too, as do a lot of the Twilight cast!
Twilight Stars Love J Brand
The Twilight stars, Ashley Greene, Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, all really love J Brand jeans! They have all been spotted on numerous occasions wearing jeans from the brand! I love J Brand myself and I know they are a very popular brand among the celebs! Do you love J Brand too?
Ashley Greene in J Brand Shorts
Ashley Greene is just so beautiful isn't she? The Twilight star was snapped wearing a pair of J Brand cuffed boyfriend shorts in Goldrush while leaving a tanning salon in Studio City, California. I used to own these shorts but they ended up being too big for me as they run quite large but Ashley looks great in them! She has beautiful hair and even in just a tank top and shorts she looks hot! I love her style! Buy J Brand shorts at Singer22.

so, i just bought Pokemon Yellow from the Eshop, and i was wondering, can the pikachu from the start be transfered?
thanks for your attention
Use the Pokemon Question Thread next time here. But to answer your question, it will be able to be transferred to Sun and Moon (assuming there isn't something to prevent it, but I doubt it).
Image from Pokemon's Sun and Moon page. Meme by me.
the last Pokemon Direct said that the pokemon bank will work with the Pokemon Yellow to Pokemon Sun and Moon thing
And thus the question is answered and this thread no longer needs to stay open. You don't need to make an entire thread for a single question next time, though.

I make no claim of being perfect or always right. Take everything I say with a grain of salt.
Okay, I'm sure this has been answered a million times and to some is common sense...
But when using Serebii, what do the dashes under level marketing? Example, Steelix has three elemental fang attacks with dashes next to level. They aren't under Egg Moves or Tutor Moves and (to my knowledge) can't encounter them wild. So what does it mean?
There's an existing thread for questions.
They're moves that can be added at the Move Reminder. One Heart Scale per move is the cost.
Alright so this thread is about a wish. I don't know where it will take me or what I'm even doing exactly but basically it works like this:
I follow the yellow brick road haha. Here is how it started:
I found a Xatu in the Safari Zone of Omega Ruby. It was a hard catch tbh it kept using wish to recover so I took it as a challenge to catch. Like it didnt want to be caught. Struggled with it for a while before I eventually ended up catching it/her and named her "Wish".
I then released her to represent the move Wish. Casting her out knowing I'd end up getting it back in one way or another.
I decided to go looking for Wish thinking how cool it would be if you could end up finding a Pokemon you had released again in the game! So I started searching in the tall tall grass outside next to the Safari Zone and found a horde of Shuppet taking on my Scraggy. I knew one of them was Wish. Somewhere. So I knocked them out one by one until only two were left. Swaggered them both. One destroyed itself...the other barely survived so I caught it and read the Pokedex entry. It said they approached trainers feelung jealousy ir seeking vengeance. Well I was on a vengeance for my wish and so...I named it "WISH".
I had been watching Dragon Ball with limitations. Two episodes a day. One free one and the second I can't watch until I run my course around the block. It's my stamina training. Ha Gravity training, if you will.
I've been keeping my lifestyle healthy eating the right foods and exercising. Going to the gym and walking at least four miles a day. I started out fat as **** and lost at least one hundred and fifty pounds of fat. Put on pounds of muscle, though.
I walked two miles up to the gym every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Did upper body on Monday. Lower body on Tuesday. Wednesday was a cardio day. Upper body on Thursday. Lower body on Friday. Saturday was a cardio day. Sunday was just a rest day.
All of that while working my jobs. I considered it a blessing and still do.
Now it's a bit different. I walk/run around the block three times. I'll walk down one strip. Run down the next. Alternate until I do three laps. Once I do that, I allow myself another episode to watch and it's so much better that way to me at least.
Once the second saga starts, it'll change. I'll walk two strips then run two strips. The strips going north and south are longer then the strips going east and west. I walk the longer ones and run the shorter ones. At the end of the first saga on
Dragon Ball I'll run the short strip AND the long strip and then walk the next two strips. One long and one short.
So Monday
three laps
Upper body
three laps
Lower body
three laps
No gym
three laps
Upper body
three laps
Lower body
three laps
No gym
No walking or running (unless I just have extra energy then I may but it's not required)
No gym
Stretch/Rest day
I quit smoking cigarettes and switched over to an e-cig that I basically just vape because I enjoy...the vape. Lol.
Anyway, the last episode I watched was Yamcha whining about freaking out around girls. Oolong trying to molest Bulma in her sleep and all that crazy ****. Yamcha's wish was to get married. My wish is unclear but it's in there.
So, after I released Wish and caught Wish, the Shuppet, I figured it would be in good taste to do a Wonder trade. The decisions I make are out of instinct and determination. The player who traded with me was named Yamcha...from TN. Same state I was in. I Wonder traded Shuppet wondering what strange Pokemon I would get. IT COULD BE ANYTHING AND IT WAS...
Lol wtf? But it reminded me of the old episode "Bye Bye butterfree!" and I knew then and there I had to level it up to a Butterfree and trade it to SOMEONE SOMEWHERE *hint hint* you ahem...someone somewhere for a shiny Butterfree. Then watch not the episode of Indigo but the Special Advanced Generation or whatever where a shiny Butterfree appears in episode 77...I think? I wikid it. Ha.
The anime is too goofy. Too cheesy and corny for me. Don't get me wrong, Origins was amazingly awesome but the Ash anime? Eh.
So I figured it would be a good way of trying it out again as I have never seen this episode.
*I watched the episode and, while I enjoy the idea of contests and see it's good for kids, I personally don't think I could stomache (or spell stomach) the entire series.*
It'd be really cool if there was another completely different series set in an alternate canon/dimension made for their older fanbase. One with better animation, as well.
A more mature theme and I'm not talking about tits and ***. Or cussing every other sentence. I just mean a more realistic experience that pertains to ALL ages. The original anime does but, as it stands, it's minimal and I think the
series would benefit greatly from either a reboot or an alternate series such as "Origins". That was awesome.
Believe it or not, the Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z series would be a good place to draw that type of experience I'm talking about. These are just my opinions, by the way.
So my current goals are:
Trade Yamcha's Butterfree for a shiny Butterfree. Yes the OT is Yamcha . Yamcha's Butterfree is a shiny on its own. It has a Timid nature and is waiting to be traded for a shiny Butterfree. Where I guess it will...mate? I guess f*** all day...I don't know but take extra care. I actually can't remember if its a girl or boy...I didn't check down there. I don't know if it's gay or straight, either. We have a "Don't ask don't tell" thing going on. We sift through a lot of team members and don't want to cause any inner conflict, you see.
Watch what seems to be "Spurt!" In the anime as the pink Butterfree returns in the opening theme. You guys could list some others because I'm waiting til next Thursday to watch it.
[B[What are some wishes you guys have?[\B]
I'd like more friends. Get people out there socializing and have fun.
I have a lot of wishes but friends and adventure are among the top but...lets be honest. ..we all have a little Yamcha in us.
So please discuss!!!

I didn't exactly specify why I was so excited about this group: I've lived here for awhile but I'm a young first time mom and am the only one of my friends who a) has a child and b) is married and c) is in a relationship with a soldier. I'm excited to meet women I can talk to,I've lost most of my friends when I was pregnant sadly. I'm especially happy to find women that I can talk to with a deployment coming.

Hello guys.
Before describing the problem, let me say that Leaguemanager won't do, I already tried that.
I have a custom post type that lets me add teams.
I also have two other custom post types. One is the location of the team, and the other is events.
What I need to do now when adding a team is the following:
- Have a select box that lists all locations, so I can select one from there (this is a custom field in the form of a select input type, but I don't know how to list all the locations there)
- This is a bit more complicated. I need to have a metabox that lists all the other teams (1 line for each one). Every team will also have 2 corresponding inputs: one to write the result of the match, and other that lists the events added on the other post type. That way I mantain the results of the matches, and I can relate them to an event.
Any ideas on how to do this? Maybe there's something better than a custom meta box or post types?
As said before, Leaguemanager works in a different way that won't fit this site.
Thanks in advance.

Spring Fluency Packet BundleSunday, February 12, 2012
Pin It
I received an email yesterday from Katie over at Queen of the 1st Grade Jungle and she gave me the idea to bundle my fluency packets. I LOVED this idea! So, I have bundled my March, April, and May Fluency Packets into one Spring Fluency Packet. I will still be selling them as individual months and also as individual weeks, but this just gives you another option and it allows you to save a little bit of money :) That's always a bonus!
This 3-month packet includes 60 fluency passages and 60 additional language arts activities, for a total of 120 pages. You can check it out by clicking below.
I also have just the March packet available, if you'd like to just purchase the one month.
You can check out the FREE samples of the March packet by clicking HERE from my post last year.
I'm currently working to update my FREE Dr. Seuss Unit that I posted last year as well.
Click here to check out my Horton Hears a Who activity.
Click here for a Yertle the Turtle activity.
And here or There's a Wocket in my Pocket.
All of the above are FREE activities. I'd love to have you pin them while you're there :)

I just bought your spring bundle! The way I have the fluency pages organized here at school is by month... would it be possible for me to just download the cover pages for March, April, and May since I already bought them all? It helps me to know what themes are within each month : )ReplyDelete

If Alito Did Say 'Not True' About Obama's Claim, He May Have Had A Point
Judge for yourself: Did Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito mutter something like "not true" or "simply not true" last night during the State of the Union address?
The moment came as President Barack Obama was, as the Associated Press puts it, "scolding the high court."
"With all due deference to the separation of powers," said Obama, last week the "reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections."
Politico has posted the video showing Alito's reaction:
At The New York Times Opinionator blog, Linda Greenhouse says Alito may have had a point:
Indeed, Mr. Obama's description of the holding of the case was imprecise. He said the court had "reversed a century of law."
The law that Congress enacted in the populist days of the early 20th century prohibited direct corporate contributions to political campaigns. That law was not at issue in the Citizens United case, and is still on the books. Rather, the court struck down a more complicated statute that barred corporations and unions from spending money directly from their treasuries — as opposed to their political action committees — on television advertising to urge a vote for or against a federal candidate in the period immediately before the election.
Update at 11:30 a.m. ET. The White House stands by the president's words:
A "senior administration official" told Politico this morning that: "There is a loophole that we need to address and are working with Congress to address. There are U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-controlled corporations that could influence our elections because of this ruling."

Overall Experience:
I am in love with my school. Aside from the ridiculous price, it is in the best location, very reputable, and a great community.
Local Area:
Boston is the best city to go to college in. You will never be bored!
The cost to have a car on campus is ridiculous. If you try to use meters, you will quickly find it is a huge inconvenience to find quarters and refill the meter every 2 hours, if you can even find a spot.
Party Scene:
Because Boston is a college town, there is not much clubbing/bar hopping available to us underage kids. However the frat and apartment parties are an acceptable alternative.
There are so many different options that you will never find yourself stranded.
Our program is very demanding. There is unfair grading deflation which makes it very difficult to do well.
Being an urban school, BU has so much diversity. You will find people of all races, financial backgrounds, religions, and sexual orientations.
If you don't have a personal laptop, there are plenty of available computers on campus, but it may be a hassle to have to go to a lab to use. The wifi is very unreliable and the school does not provide a fair enough printing quota.
Off-Campus Housing:
Living in an urban setting, there are so many cheap and quality apartments. Living off campus is very common among upperclass students.
Greek Life:
I love greek life! I wish it was more accepted on campus by faculty and the school itself but over time our image will improve! It's a great way to make close friends and connections at such a large school.
Off-Campus Dining:
We are in the middle of Boston, there are so many restaurants either a T ride or a walk away. What more could you ask for?
Campus Quality:
BU has difficult classes but a great social scene where people are very friendly and welcoming.
Campus Housing:
The freshman buildings are pretty typical of any college. There are few extremely nice housing options and they are very hard to get.
There are next to no computer centers, but everything else is fine.
Health & Safety:
Every college campus has its probelms, you can't feel completely safe everywhere.
No matter what you're into there's definitely something and someone here for you.
The only real sports we have are basketball and hockey, and usually people only get riled up about the latter.
The beauty of being in the city is the ability to take the T anywhere you need, public busses go where it does not, and the BU shuttle becomes your best friend.
The administration is always gonna be a stickler about certain things.
We have a giant department (one of the biggest at the school) and I have a lot of really interesting classes to choose from and lots of professors whose work really interests me.
It's really hard to get an A in any respectable major here but that doesn't mean we don't have great professors and classes that really teach you things about life.
Drug Safety:
We are by no means a party school but there is normal college drinking and drug use.
Public transportation is great in Boston. You can take the T anywhere.
The only good weather is in the beginning of the fall semester
Health & Safety:
There are a lot of services but still it's a city and anyone can walk down Comm Ave so you have to be alert.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
While BU certainly has its downfalls, most of which are due to the sheer size of the University, there are plenty of opportunities to take full advantage of all that it has to offer. For the resourceful and motivated, a little effort will go a long way. The most important thing is to utilize your professors to your advantage. It is their job to be available to their students, and while some are certainly more attentive than others, students are not turned away by a professor when they have gone looking for opportunities or support.
Keeping busy, being well-organized, and choosing a course of study that truly stimulates your intellectual interests will all be really helpful in having a successful experience at BU. Many students dread graduation day, and therefore, leaving Boston is not something they look forward to. On the flip-side, countless others would argue the opposite perspective. Accept your environment and work with it, as well as against it. Do not stay inside for too long, and do not drink away your college years. Make school a priority, and hang out with your professors (they are the best resource you have). Boston is a huge city with a really large population of young people. If you are looking for a taste of city life, and think that you would be able to establish yourself at a big university in a high-paced atmosphere, it is definitely possible to find your niche here.

|"Greatest Hits" #2 on sale October 15
At this yearâs New York Comic Con, Vertigo announced its first superhero team book since Grant Morrisonâs seminal âThe Invisiblesâ ended in 2000. The six-issue miniseries âGreatest Hitsâ - written by David Tischman (âAmerican Century,â âBite Clubâ) with art by Glenn Fabry (âHellblazer,â âPreacherâ) - features The Mates, a British-bred league of justice who may bring to mind a certain other Fab Four.
âThey are not The Beatles. But they hold a place in the zeitgeist that The Beatles had for us. There is no one else like The Beatles - and thatâs who The Mates are,â Tischman told CBR News back in April.
With âGreatest Hitsâ #1 now in stores, CBR News is profiling one Mate a week through to the release of âGreatest Hitsâ #2, on sale October 15. Why do we need five parts to profile a team of four? Check out the series.
Series writer David Tischman first spoke with us about Solicitor, the self-taught crime fighter and ass-kicking Olympic-level gymnast and boxer, who most closely resembles a John Lennon archetype; and again last week about Crusader, the super-strong, non-flying boy scout who most closely resembles a Paul McCartney archetype.
Tischman joins us again this week, this time to discuss The Mate known as Vizier.
CBR: What is Vizierâs superpower?
David Tischman: Vizier is a Druid, and his powers come from understanding and manipulating the Earthâs natural energies. He is more mystical than magical -- more Dr. Fate than Zatanna. Because his powers come from the Earth, itâs harder for Vizier to access his powers when the Mates venture into outer space to face the Ilian invasion.
What is Vizierâs secret origin or how did he acquire said superpower?
Like many post-war children, Vizier was afflicted with polio and his left leg has atrophied from that disease and from disuse. When doctors could no longer treat his condition, Vizier turned to magic. He wears a brace under his costume until the Mates arrive in America, in 1967 -- but as Vizier likes to say, âI donât use the leg much, anyway.â Vizier grew up in Woolton, a middle class neighborhood. His older brother, Nigel, is Golem -- who only agreed to join the Mates if Vizier could come along. Nigel is protective of his younger brother, and the two are very close.
What Beatle does Vizier most resemble? And why?
Vizier is a shy guy -- yes, the leg issues are behind most of it -- but his older brother is such a big, outgoing personality; Vizierâs always taken a quiet back seat. As the Mates continue to fight crime, Vizier becomes more and more spiritual. He comes to believe that fighting crime actually engenders crime -- which is something George Harrison might have come up with. Beatle-wise, I think Vizier taps into the spiritual side a number of rock stars have explored, including Bob Dylan.
What is Vizierâs super-vice?
Someone this spiritual doesnât really have vices. But Vizier -- and I know this is ironic for a âmagicalâ hero -- but he has a really hard time dealing with reality. Of all the Mates, he has the hardest time dealing with the fame. As the years go by, Vizierâs beliefs â and his shyness â push him to spend more and more time on the Astral Plane. By the time of the âGreatest Hitsâ documentary, Vizier has been gone for over 10 years. He lost an eye along the way but thatâs a story for another time. One other thing, heâs a virgin.
What do you love most about writing Vizier?
Heâs so not into the glamour of it all. Yes, when the team arrives in New York, he loves the attention from the girls â and there was a lot of it â but I like his emotional simplicity and how that works with his powers. I think Vizierâs the kind of guy Crusader and Solicitor wish they could be.
What do you love most about how Glenn Fabry draws him?
The costumes. Nobody's ever looked so good in tie-dye.
And finally, whatâs one thing you can tell us about Vizier that will give us some insight into who we are dealing with?
Something happens when the Mates are in New York City, in âGreatest Hitsâ #2, that upends Vizier's world -- and taints the success the Mates achieve. Itâs pretty big.
âGreatest Hitsâ #1 is in stores now. âGreatest Hitsâ #2 is due in stores October 15 from Vertigo.

Conflict of Interest Last Night at KeyArena
posted by March 22 at 10:13 AMon
With the clock ticking down to zero, Jillbert drove the lane with 3 Sonics hanging all over him, and banked in a lay-up, dropping the ball through the hoop to win the game just as time expired and the backboard lit up to signal the end of play.
Then he took off his shirt and laid it on the floor. Total dose. He scored 42 overall. I don't think the family sitting next to me liked me very much.
P.S. Oh, and my other favorite part of the game was this: Jill was mad at the ref after getting called for a foul, and so on the next play, he dribbled down the court, stopped at the 3-point line and netted a jump shot. Then he turned and glared at the ref. The guy sitting next to me freaked. "Did you see that? Did you see that? Give him a technical! Give him a technical! Man, they let Arenas get away with everything." Well, no. Arenas had just been called for a foul two seconds earlier. In fact, Jillbert played with 5 fouls throughout most of the 4thmaking his 4th quarter show all the more impressive.

I love this time of the year - the chilly, maybe-it-will-snow weather, the holiday decorations in the neighborhoods and shops, my favorite Christmas carols on the radio, and the newsy cards from friends and family members. But what I love most about the holiday season is making gifts for the special people in my life. I sew, knit, cross stitch, smock, or embroider many of my presents, which I happily work on throughout the year.

College soccer roundup: Miyashiro's pair of goals leads USU to a 3-1 win over Omaha
Weber State played strong defensively for much of the match, but at times struggled to move the ball effectively into the attacking third through Wyoming's clogged midfield formation. The Wildcats clearly won the possession battle during the course of 90 minutes, but left many plays on the open field as they struggled to make the final pass to get around the Cowgirls' defense.
Freshman forward Mackenzie Harrison had three of the Wildcats' eight shots, placing two of them on frame. Freshman defender Brecken Holbrook, who has played 90 minutes in all three matches this season, had Weber State's third shot on frame as she tried to sink a booming 35-yard free kick under the crossbar, but the attempt was saved by Wyoming goalkeeper Carmen McDermott.
The Wildcats will remain at home for their lone match this week. Weber State will take on in-state rival Utah on Saturday at Noon at Wildcat
Soccer Field.
SALT LAKE CITY — It took a while for the 22nd-ranked Westminster College women's soccer team to get started on Sunday in their game against the College of Idaho, but they turned it on late for a 4-0 win.
Westminster is now 2-0 on the season and has scored 10 goals in those contests. College of Idaho drops to 0-2-0 on the season with the loss.
Neither team could muster much offense in the opening half as they combined for nine shots. Westminster would turn up the pressure after halftime and took the lead in the 56th minute. The game's first goal came off a corner kick for the Griffins as Lorin Wathen sent the ball into the box where Amanda Peppers got her head on the ball and directed it into the net for her first career goal.
Alyssa Hill would then get on the board in the 69th minute as she blasted a shot into the back of the net from a pass by Margo Hickman.
Peppers would strike again in the 87th minute as she lifted a shot just over the reach of the keeper and into the net from 25 yards away. The ball was delivered to Peppers from Wathen for her second assist of the game. Less than a minute later, Hill would add her second of the game off a pass from Jaime Nelson.
The Griffins finished with a 30-3 advantage in shots attempted and they put 12 of those attempts on frame. Westminster also took eight corner kicks. They were solid defensively, allowing just one of the three shots on goal.
Hickman and Justin Jones led the attack with five shots apiece. Jones had three on goal while Hickman put just one on target. Peppers fired four shots to score her two goals and Hill scored on both of her shots. Dayna Winter-Nolte earned the shutout with one save.
Westminster will return to action on Saturday when they play Doane (Neb.). The game is slated for a noon kickoff at Dumke Field.

In many species male reproductive success is limited by access to females. Territoriality is one behavioural strategy which helps to acquire females. In the present study, we investigated the correlation between territory size and (1) female availability and (2) rate of intrusion by conspecific males in strawberry poison frogs, Oophaga pumilio. Males defended smaller territories in areas with a high female density and high rate of intrusion by conspecific males. Only males with high body condition values were able to establish territories in areas of high female density probably due to better fighting abilities. Moreover, dominant calling frequency was lower during agonistic interactions. Because only males with high body condition values were able to produce very low dominant frequencies, the acoustic properties appear to be an honest signal containing information about fighting abilities. Thus, the negative correlation between dominant frequency and mating success of males found in previous studies seems to be in part the result of intrasexual competition between males.

Type 2 diabetes is on the rise in the United States.
But, according to The Early Show medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay, it is possible to change your life's course and steer clear of it if you're at risk.
In the first of a three-part series on diabetes Thursday, Senay stressed that it's critical to act early and decisively to do an about-face and lose weight and exercise.
She said experts blame increasing obesity and a lack of exercise for the sharp rise in type 2 diabetes in this country. The disease usually takes hold when the body loses its ability to either make or process insulin properly. Insulin, a hormone produced by the body, is needed to convert sugars and other elements of the food we eat into the energy we need to sustain life.
Generally, Senay observed, type 2 diabetes is a permanent condition — all the more reason it's important for people who show signs of developing the disease to do all they can to stop its progress.
There is a condition, known as pre-diabetes, in which levels of sugar in the blood are higher than normal but not yet at levels where the disease is locked in. Untreated, the condition can become full-blown diabetes. But if doctors, and especially the patient, get busy right away, there is a real chance of slowing, stopping or even reversing the onset of diabetes.
A recent study suggests the most effective actions come down to two words: lose weight. Taking off about 11 pounds cuts the risk of developing diabetes within three years by 55 percent. Larger weight losses translated into even greater reductions in diabetes risk.
There is medication that also can help to ward off diabetes, especially in adults under 45. But for most people, the bottom line is losing weight — and making it an absolute priority. If ever there's a time in your life to get help from your doctor or a dietitian, to make sure the pounds really come off, this is it, Senay emphasized.
Who's at risk?
At the top of the list, Senay said, are people who are overweight. This form of diabetes used to be called "adult onset," but now, even children can get this disease, especially if they are obese. Also, your risk gets higher when you reach 45. Additional signs your blood sugar levels need to be checked regularly include having high blood pressure, low levels of HDL ("good cholesterol"), or a sedentary life style.
Senay added that there are no symptoms of pre-diabetes, which she called "one of the problems." By the time you feel the well-known symptoms of diabetes, such as thirst and frequent urination, she said, the condition is probably too advanced to reverse.
That's why you need to get blood-sugar levels tested long before that point, especially if you're at risk. Of course, the same focus on losing weight that can help if you develop pre-diabetes will do even more good if you take off the pounds even sooner — long before the disease starts developing.

Would it be wrong to eradicate the mosquito?
By spreading malaria, dengue fever, West Nile, yellow fever and now the Zika virus, they are the most dangerous animal in the world. What would happen if we got rid of them? It sounds like a promising idea, but what would take their place and would the rainforests survive?
the largest Zika epidemic researchers have ever seen
"This is quite a large epidemic, so another question is how did this get so big so fast? And no one has the answer," said Hotez. "There's nothing really published, most of what we're going on are World Health Organization alerts." First case of tropical zika virus linked to serious birth defect found in Texas (Jessica Glenza, The Guardian); What You Need To Know About the Zika Virus (Alexandra Ossola, Popular Science); CDC home page for resources and information; FAQ from Pan American Health Organization
Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head
a mosquito being hit by a raindrop is roughly the equivalent of a human being whacked by a school bus, the typical bus being about 50 times the mass of a person. And worse, when it's raining hard, each mosquito should expect to get smacked, grazed, or shoved by a raindrop every 25 seconds. So rain should be dangerous to a mosquito. And yetwhy aren't mosquitos hurt or killed by raindrops?
ICHI's song GO GAGAMBO opens with a universally recognisable mosquito hum, then proceeds with a catchy, familiar-sounding bass line, strummed out on a long, thin insect-like home-made instrument, while the vocals are punk-like, small and high-pitched, in the language of the insect itself. It's a song about mistaken identity - (gagambo is an insect unfortunate enough to be mistaken as a big mosquito, resulting in probable death by angry clapping hands), and it is a clever blend of the familiar and the bizarre.

Controlling the genetics of wild populations, a next step in GM research
New GM technique injects mosquitoes with a gene that results in mostly male offspring, eventually leading to a population crash. Previous efforts to tackle the disease, that kills more than 1 million people each year – most of whom are African children – have included bed nets to protect people and insecticides to kill the mosquito species most responsible for the transmission of malaria (Anopheles gambiae). The new technique by a team at Imperial College London involves injecting mosquitoes with a gene that causes the vast majority of their offspring to be male, leading to an eventual dramatic decline in population within six generations as females disappear. "You have a short-term benefit because males don't bite humans [and transmit malaria]," Andrea Crisanti, one of the authors of the new research, which was published in the journal Nature Communications on Tuesday, told the Guardian. "But in the long term you will eventually eradicate or substantially reduce mosquitoes. This could make a substantial contribution to eradicating malaria, combined with other tools such as insecticides."
These new mosquitoes are now set to be used in Brazil, having been approved for use by the Brazilian government with a factory for their production now opened.[more inside]
The mouthparts were highly mobile within the skin during the probing
Here's what happens inside you when a mosquito bites (with videos for your everlasting horror).
Because what the news reports hadn't mentioned was that Gallinippers have quite literally evolved for the apocalypse. Their mummified eggs hatch during floods and eat their siblings first. Some even say they're resistant to DEET, and since they suck down the larvae of competing species for nourishment, the super mosquitos are immune to biological controls. In fact, if you introduce a competing species to ward off Gallinippers, it only produces more Gallinippers. Gallinippers are born in chaos, and in chaos they thrive.[more inside]
Notes from dreamworlds
Microworlds is the blog of biology student Daniel Stoupin, and he also has a photography website as well. His chosen subject is microphotography, especially of living things. Perhaps the best place to start is his latest post, where he uses fluorescent dyes to take pictures of a rotting flea embryo. Other favorites are shells of microscopic crustaceans, colorful plant seed fluorescence and mosquito larva in polarized light. He has also made a video, and explains the process here.

The Ultimate Bug Zapper
Malaria is one of the world's most serious health problems. No single approach has yet to fully conquer either the disease or the disease vector, the mosquito.

Mosquito Menace
Winnipeg's mosquito population explodes "Heavy rains throughout June and early July have flooded farmlands and fields, leaving pools of water that are perfect for mosquito breeding." The Manitoba government has ordered Winnipeg to spray the controversial chemical malathion across the city. A survey reveals that the vast majority of Manitobans who have contracted West Nile virus have no idea they have been infected. Recommended repellants have contained the chemical DEET and sixty percent of Americans shy away from any insect repellent, even when the mosquito-borne West Nile Virus is a serious threat. CDC has more information and FAQ about insect repellent use and safety.

Unintended Consequences
Illinois and California have indeed been fiscally irresponsible almost unbelievably so. However going into their states and trying to take their companies makes their situations even worse. This has and will lead to out migrations from those states. When those people with teiir certain group think move into your state, it will lose its character, and it will become more like them.

I think it is rather ironic this piece with the back drop of probably the
biggest industrial accident in recent history happening in Texas, with many
fingers pointing to lax controls and inspections by the state as key
contributors to that horrific event. There has not been as great loss of life
in an industrial accident in decades....
I would think that just perhaps the state of Texas should pull back just a bit while it gets its own house in order. Obviously something went wrong. A town was devastated.... not just a singular business. When companies can put entire communities at risk, you have to wonder if the state is doing all it can to protect it citizens - its primary role.
While we have a political uproar about events that happened in Libya, there seems to be little passion to find out what happened in Texas at the cost of all those lives.

Any person, family state or nation who is so far in debt that it can get by only when the economy is running full steam really isn't doing that well though.

Yes, CA has had some tough years. For example, the Enron debacle cost the state billions. Additionally, until 2011, the state constitution required 2/3 of the CA State Legislature to pass a state budget. Intransigence between the 2 parties made it impossible to effectively deal with the economic issues. Things are better as a result of cost-cutting, tax increases, and an improving economy. There is more work to be done.
CA has many of the top public universities in the nation, which is one reason why it is attractive to businesses.

BTW - Dan,
Did it ever occur to you the reason Chicago, Illinois and California got in the trouble they did was because years ago - in order for them to swoon businesses to move THERE in the first place, THEY needed to lower their taxe rates and deregulate as much as possible?
Over time, Texas [and Utah, if we follow suit] will end up being the next Illinois or California.
In the red, not able to pay the bills, and having to increase taxes which were held too low, for too long.
Used up, and Dried out.
Corporations will just up and move to the next State that comes a sweet talking {bribing}.
Businesses are all about making the most ($), and giving the least ($).

At the height of the recession, unilike most other states where the construction industry ground to a halt, and many lost their jobs, UT had several major construction projects going on in downtown SLC and in Provo.
And, during the Olympics the federal govt invested more money in SLC than any other Olympics.
Every year money i pay flows to UT.

Governments have to adopt the same system as private companies..."come work for us and we will give you X dollars each year to help you fund your own retirement". You get to decide when there is enough in there to retire. No more guarantees of benefits. No more gaming the system so you can live extravagantly on the taxpayer's dime for 30+ years.
Working for 15 or 20 years and being able to retire on 90% of your last year's salary for the rest of your life just doesn't work out mathematically. While I might personally love such a system at my company, I know such promises could never be kept and still keep the company in business.

Okay. The LDS Church had a major construction project going on during the recession in downtown SLC, this helped us as did the Olympics. Also the LDS church employes a lot of people in Utah. Granted you are correct. All states have their particular advantages though. In spite of this good fortune, the recession still took its toll on us.
We were able to weather this storm better than we would have otherwise because of our debt policies and our rainy day fund.
Personally I have experience something similar in my own life when I lost a good job. It hurt, but it hurt less than it otherwise would have because my house was paid for and I had savings and no debt.
I did this by buying less house than I could afford, and living below my means and saving and investing the difference. This is a great way to live, I recommend it highly, for people and states, cities and nations.

The claim that Dan makes just is not true. Businesses will go where they will
spend the least amount on the environment, health care, and labor. After so many
years of favorable legislation and booming record profits it is no longer
financially viable for companies to comply with government regulation. Meaning,
the penalties they pay are so small that it isn't worth it to them to
protect their workers and community members. Just watch, this Texas company
rolled the dice and it still might pay off as taxpayers rebuild that city and
bail out that company.
Theland which Dan lives in where companies are actually threatened is nothing more than a fantasy. Texas will continue to be unbelievably deregulated and workers will continue to pay the price. It is just too financially good for big CEOs. And they will make sure that legislators continue to do their bidding.

Ernest T. Bass, your name is from the 60s and so is your world view. California has been dominated by Democrats for years now, and none of this is Repbublican work. The Termanator tried to do something with propositions but was defeated by unions. Just today a report showed that the best economies in America are with Repbulican states and the basket cases are with Democrat states. Anyone who thinks California with highest taxes in the nation and biggest debt short of the Federal Governent is an example of good management should stay away from accounting as a profession.

Research chemicals are substances that have not yet been studied thoroughly. Some of them have been discovered in laboratories and only examined in low-level animal studies or test-tube studies.
Some of them are new while others have been around for years. However, even though they have already been available for a long period of time, it is still difficult to quantify their health risks due to lack of medical investigation. Very few people have actually used these drugs, which is why they have insufficient data.
Research chemicals pose a bigger risk than any other drugs. This is due to the fact that they are simply not known. All types of drugs that have not been studied or tested can be dangerous. Plant-based drugs are especially high-risk since plants usually contain multiple chemicals with concentrations that may greatly vary between different samples.
So if you are still wondering if these chemicals are safe alternatives, the answer is no. Technically, no drug is categorically characterized as completely safe. Nonetheless, using these substances is still risker than using older drugs that have been studied and tested. People have not used these substances for a considerable period of time, and therefore, cannot prove their effectiveness or attest to their side effects.
Then again, this does not mean that all research chemicals are not effective. They may be effective.
