By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Wes Rea has become a big voice for Mississippi State, and he's proclaimed big expectations.
Rea's Bulldogs open the 2013 baseball season at 4 p.m. today against Portland, and it's a season filled with high hopes for a team ranked No. 5 in the country by Baseball America.
Fifth-year head coach John Cohen has been rebuilding MSU in his image in an effort to return to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., and Rea, a sophomore first baseman and team co-captain, believes this is the year it happens.
Back in the fall, he sent out this bold Twitter message: "1,000th tweet goes out to this chase for Omaha we're working towards. I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, book your rooms for June 15-27!"
He hasn't backed off that sentiment.
"I feel like it's important to let everybody know that I think the tradition is back," Rea said. "Coach Cohen has brought it back, and he's got the guys in the room who need to be there to get us to where we want to be and where everybody else wants us to be."
Rea's belief is bolstered by the fact that, on paper, this looks like Cohen's best team to date. The pitching staff returns largely intact, the offense is expected to make a big jump, and there is both experience and depth to spare.
The Bulldogs went 40-24 last season and won the SEC Tournament title. They earned a second consecutive NCAA regional berth.
MSU has made eight previous trips to Omaha, most recently in 2007. Cohen played on the 1990 squad that reached the CWS, so he recognizes the traits necessary for a team seeking such a lofty goal.
"Our kids have a little bit of a swagger to them, and that's important, because that swagger carries you through the tough times," Cohen said. "You really have to have a belief in yourself, and there will be some down times."
Built for success
Pitching depth, defensive acumen and speed go a long way, too, and those qualities were present last season. What remains to be seen is whether MSU can improve offensively – it hit .251 last year and scored 4.5 runs per game.
There is a general belief both inside and outside the team that the bats will come around. Returnees like Rea, Hunter Renfroe and Mitch Slauter are expected to build off strong offseasons, and some newcomers like Brett Pirtle should help.
"The bats are going hot right now, and I'm just ready to show it and put it on display," Rea said.
Sophomore left-hander Jacob Lindgren will start on the mound for MSU today. He logged 281⁄3 innings last year and is expected to vie for the regular Friday night starting role.

X-Files 2: I Want to Believe. I missed this in the theatre. I found it yesterday at WM for $4 and said, what the heck. It was good. I enjoyed the first movie, but this is what the first movie should've been more like, an extended ep.
The Blue Max and Fly Boys. Both are WWI flying movies. The Blue Max stars George Peppard and was made in the '60s using real WWI-style aircraft. Fly Boys is more recent, has James Franco, and much of the flying scenes were CG. Both were enjoyable, but gotta wonder if the technology now available would make the Blue Max better or worst.

Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are up 4 cents, or 1.3%, at $3.16 after MKM Partners's Daniel Berenbaum raised his rating on the shares this morning to Neutral from Sell, with a $3 price target, writing that after a 22% decline since the departure of CFO Thomas Sierfert on September 17th, the downside in the stock may be limited given that it is at a three-year low.
AMD is "still verging on irrelevancy," writes Berenbaum, "and we certainly don't see any positive near-term fundamental catalysts."
"But our sense is that the keys to our long-held bearish view – ongoing execution problems, a total lack of a compelling data center offering, poor competitive positioning in PCs against INTC and no viable mobility products – are generally well understood by investors."
With the PC market weak worldwide at the moment, Berenbaum believes a bull case would have to rest on either AMD gaining share in the next round of gaming consoles, or a buyout of the company. The former is a problem because it's not clear how strong the 2013 game machine cycle will be this time around, he thinks, and as for a takeout, "Intel's (INTC) valuation suggests that x86 design capability is not worth as much as it once was."
Berenbaum also sees potential for encrosion into AMD's low-price PC turf by vendors using ARM Holdings (ARMH) technology, such as Nvidia (NVDA).

The XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, ended just as they began: with an ostentatious, exhaustive, and carefully scripted celebration of Russian heritage and culture. The 17 days of athletic competition featured all the riveting performances, unexpected disappointments, and weather-related updates that one would expect.
However, there was one event that U.S. politicians and pundits discussed for months -- which some described as inevitable -- that never occurred: a terrorist attack.
In the lead-up to the Winter Olympics, a fear-mongering media merely listened to alarmist policymakers and privileged the aspirational statements of marginalized terrorist groups. By irresponsibly providing little context for such threatening language, the media conditioned citizens to assume that violent attacks against innocent people were a near certainty.
It all started on Jan. 19, when Vilayat Dagestan, an affiliate of insurgent group Ansar al-Sunna, released a video statement in which two Islamist militants announced an intention to carry out jihadi attacks throughout Russia and promised a "present" for Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Olympics. This video came three weeks after two suicide attacks at a train station and on a trolley bus -- 400 miles from the Olympic Village in Volgograd -- that collectively killed 34 and injured up to 104.
Congressional members, purportedly relying on classified briefings, subsequently made the case that Sochi was not at all secure. Rep. Mike Rogers, chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said "We can only hope that they'll find those individuals before they're able to penetrate any of the rings. And I don't believe that the terrorists think they have … to have a terrorist attack on a particular venue. They just have to have some disruptive event somewhere." Rep. Peter King warned: "I cannot give [U.S. athletes] 100 percent guarantee. The fact is that these are going to be very much threatened Olympics." Rep. Michael McCaul, chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, even went so far as to say that canceling the games should have been considered, saying, "I think there's a high degree of probability that something will detonate, something will go off." The list of policymakers goes on. In short, they chose sound bites over a balanced communication of the risks posed to Americans traveling to Sochi.

this guy is a real jackhole...unbelieveable that a rag like the NYT allows this kind of crap to soil their paper...he even disabled the comment section on his blog....and you wonder where/why the conspiracy tin foil crowd gets their ideas and inspiration, its from filth like this
The Years of Shame
Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?
Actually, I dont think its me, and its not really that odd.
What happened after 9/11 and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not was deeply shameful. The atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.
A lot of other people behaved badly. How many of our professional pundits people who should have understood very well what was happening took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity?
The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.
Im not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons.

5-Light Virden "Rayburn" Chandelier W/Amber Shades, c1933 Item # R2507
The J.C. Virden Company's "Rayburn" series, was a quintessential and broadly distributed line of fixtures that effortlessly expressed the Art Deco look popular in the first half of the 1930s. A classic among slipper-shade or "shaded light" fixtures, the family was used in countless houses of many different styles.
"Shaded lights" were the hot trend from about 1930 through 1935, before Streamline style and cup-shade fixtures moved center stage. Inspired by French examples and featuring individual glass slip or slipper shades at each light bulb that were typically unique to specific body designs, these fixtures generally offer direct illumination of the ceiling above while casting a warm and intimate light on the area below - often a living room or a dining room table. These fixtures were usually designed in named families or series, with a range of different lengths, lights, colors and applications available.

Mayo Clinic offers all psoriasis treatments: topical creams and ointments, light therapy, medications, and the Goeckerman treatment (offered at Mayo's Minnesota location). Treatments may be combined to increase effectiveness or decrease side effects.
The Goeckerman treatment is named after a Mayo Clinic dermatologist who developed this treatment in 1925. The Goeckerman treatment is appropriate for most individuals with moderate to severe psoriasis. While it is time-consuming, taking approximately three weeks, it has a long track record of effectiveness with few side effects. It also is cost-effective compared with the cost of other treatments.
Treatment involves daily ultraviolet light exposure and application of coal tar. In the past, people were treated in the hospital. Today, they are treated in an outpatient setting. The procedure is as follows:
Two Mayo studies reviewed long-term results of the Goeckerman treatment at Mayo Clinic (over a 21-year period in children and over six decades for adults). Researchers found that 85 percent of people had a clearing (remission) of 80 percent or more of their psoriasis with the Goeckerman treatment. The average length of the remission was 2.6 years in children and about 1.7 years in adults, with some remissions lasting longer than 10 years. The only significant side effect of the treatment seems to be infection of hair follicles, which is treatable with a topical solution.

5.1: About This Chapter
Difficulty Level: At Grade Created by: CK-12
Engineering is the application of the principles of mathematics and science to the creation or modification of components, systems, and processes (which are often referred to as a product or an artifact) for the benefit of society. Engineers use a series of logical steps (the engineering design process) to create such artifacts which represent a balance between quality, performance, and cost. This chapter explores and examines the role and connections of math and science to engineering and the need to succeed in the study of those subjects for a professional career in engineering.
Chapter Learning Objectives
After working through this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
- Explain the goals and the nature of the fields of science, mathematics, and engineering and the differences between them.
- Explain generally how the fields of math and science and engineering benefit from one another as well as need one another.
- Explain what engineers in different disciplines do and the math and science they use.
- Explain the role of science and math in each step of the engineering design process.
- Describe the types of science and math that might be used by engineers in the different engineering disciplines along with an example for the design of a product or a process.

With the winter Olympics underway, it's the perfect opportunity to explore new cultures and show off your mad geography skills. The host city for the 2014 Winter Olympics is Sochi, Russia which, interestingly enough, is a favorite summer spot for Russians, averaging 52 degrees for a winter temperature. Even Stalin had a home there. To ensure there would be no snow shortage for the Games, organizers stockpiled 16 million cubic feet of snow from the last few winters under special thermal blankets high up in the mountains, alongside state-of-the-art snowmaking machines.
Did you know…
Russia is the world's largest country, claiming one seventh of the earth's land.
Sochi is the world's longest city, stretching 145 kilometers (90.1 miles) along the coast of the Black Sea.
Two favorite foods are caviar, an expensive delicacy of fish eggs, and borscht, a hearty soup made from beets.
Imperial Russia is a fascinating time period for kids who are history buffs. The mystery that surrounds the demise of the Romanov family makes for some great reading. Girls may enjoy Anastasia: The Last Grand Duchess, Russia, 1914 by Carolyn Meyer, or try the Missing series (Found) by Margaret Haddix. It's a blend of time travel and mystery and focuses on the Romanov family in the sixth book, Risked.
From the first winter Olympics in Chamonix, France in 1924 and two-time host Lake Placid, New York to the most recent Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, the following link features some memorable host cities to start your global adventure http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/04/travel/winter-olympics-venues-past/ . Hone your geography skills with a globe or large wall map and locate the various Olympic countries on it. Simple atlases and maps can also be found in juvenile non-fiction. Try First Atlas from DK Publishing (J912 G196f) which, in addition to the maps, features many photos and facts interesting enough for the whole family.
Brush up on your countries knowledge playing the Travel-by-Letter game (Family Fun magazine's Create & Learn 2011 special issue). Player 1 looks at the map/atlas and names a country – Peru, for example. The next player has to find a country that begins with the last letter of that country's name, U in this case, like Uganda. Next player continues this pattern. Each country can only be used once, and if a player can't come up with an answer, he's out. Last player remaining is the winner. Feel free to adapt this to your children's ages, perhaps only using states or cities.
If the kids have been inspired to turn everything into a competition, create medals out of Salt Dough and have them ready for sledding races or jump roping contests. Come summer they'll be racing laps in the pool so you can even stage your own summer Olympics.
Salt Dough
1 c salt, 1 c all purpose flour and ¾ c water.
Mix ingredients together, adding small increments of water or flour as needed for a manageable consistency. Feel free to add glitter or food coloring if you would rather not paint the medals once they're dry. Roll out and use cookie cutters to cut shapes or make impressions. Stamp them with 1,2,3 or a smiley face or star instead. Get creative! Be sure to poke a hole through the top for your ribbon before baking, approximately 2 hours at 210 degrees, turning once. Once cooled you can paint or just add a ribbon. Recipe courtesy of Anna at The Imagination Tree
No trip is complete without sampling some of the local fare. Passport on a Plate by Diane Simone Vezza (J641.59 V597p) features easy to make traditional recipes that will send your "taste buds on a trip around the globe". Add some French croissants to the breakfast table or try the Hanoi style Bananas from Vietnam (p143) for dessert – melt 2 Tbsp each of butter and brown sugar in a skillet and saute banana slices just until slightly browned on each side, serve over ice cream.
And for a cold winter's night I'll leave you with my mother-in-law's Borscht recipe, straight from the old country.
4 small potatoes, diced
½ bag pre-shredded cole slaw (cabbage & carrot mix, chop it finely)
1 stick celery, finely diced
1 Tbsp salt
approximately 10 cups water
1 Tbsp butter
1 small onion, finely diced
1 can condensed tomato soup
½ c sour cream
1 tsp dill
2 - 15 oz. cans sliced or whole beets (whole can be grated, sliced can be diced – your preference)
1 - 15 oz. can Great Northern beans, rinsed (optional)
In large pot, add water, potatoes, celery, cabbage and salt, bring to boil and simmer until vegetables are tender. In the meantime, melt butter in medium frying pan and sauté onion until tender. Add tomato soup and sour cream to the pan and blend well. Heat through and add to pot of boiling vegetables. Pour beet juice from cans into boiling pot of vegetables. Add diced/grated beets, beans and dill, more salt to taste if needed. Cover and heat over lowest setting about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Borscht tastes best when the flavors have had time to meld, often times better the next day. Enjoy!

Check out our comparison of the Spotify Radio and Pandora mobile apps for the latest on the two streaming services.
Spotify announced early on Friday that it has revamped its Radio functionality, making it possible for non-paying customers to skip past as many songs as they wish, and add as many stations as they like. This move takes direct aim at Pandora, which allows its free users to skip only six songs per hour, with a total limit of 12 skips per day.
The new Spotify Radio is technically still in beta, with the fully finished product set to roll out in the next few days. But we're impatient, so we thought we'd take it for a test drive, and see how it stands up to Pandora's Music Genome Project-powered products.
Note: For this test, I've decided to use the Web version of Pandora, which is by far the most accessible option. Of course, Pandora also has a desktop app, and a mobile app, both of which provide the full functionality that its Web version provides. For now, Spotify Radio is only available on its desktop client, and does not yet work on its mobile app, which is only available to paying subscribers, anyway.
Creating stations
Once you download the newest version, which takes only a minute, you can launch the new beta version of Spotify. You'll find the Radio app under "Apps" in the left-hand menu. (Slightly below where it was on previous versions of the platform.) When you launch the Radio, Spotify will automatically create a number of stations for you, based upon your most-played artists. It also lists suggested stations based upon your favorite tracks, along with other popular stations, as well as an assortment of generic genre stations.
To create an entirely new station, just click the "Create new station" box, which appears at the top of the main window. You can type in either song name, or artist, to launch a new station. All your recent stations appear beneath the 'currently playing' window, which shows album cover, artist and song name.
Compared to the whiz-bang flashiness of Spotify, Pandora's user interface feels a bit antiquated. In terms of functionality, however, it works basically the same. A control bar appears at the top of the browser page, where you can type in artist, track or composer to create a new station. Also on the bar are the play button, thumbs up, thumbs down and skip button.
For those of you not familiar, both the thumbs up and the skip button allow you to jump to the next song. Though thumbs down has the added affect of further refining which songs Pandora chooses to play. Thumbs up, of course, does the same thing, but in a positive, rather than negative, way.
Below the control bar, you'll find your list of stations on the left, the currently-playing album art, song title, artist name and album name. Pandora now also includes a share button, which allows you to post the station or track on Facebook and/or Twitter, as well as a buy button for purchasing the album on iTunes or Amazon. Beneath that, Pandora provides song lyrics, artist bio, and a list of similar artists.
Winner: Tie
Both options have their pros and cons. While some might like the graphics-heavy Spotify, we found the straightforward list of our stations on Pandora easier to navigate, even if it's not as pretty. That said, Spotify offers more suggestions for stations you might want to create, which is great when you can't just think of something off the top of your head.
Song selection
This is a particularly difficult thing to test, without spending hundreds of hours meticulously recording each track that plays next, for each service, so we're just going to go with broad, likely inaccurate, estimates here.
From what we found, the songs chosen by Pandora were, in fact, much more what we wanted to listen to than what Spotify chose. That's not to say Spotify's selection was bad by any means. It just lacked a certain, let's say, polish, that the Pandora selections have.
This is, of course, good news for Pandora, as the entire premise of the Music Genome Project was choosing songs you'll actually like, rather than just other songs in that genre. We don't know the exact algorithm Spotify uses to choose the lineup for each station, but it definitely felt more like it was simply selecting from a pot of "similar bands," rather than a finely tuned batch of tracks that share similar musical qualities.
Winner: Pandora
Like we said, we're basing this judgement more off of a subconscious inkling, a glimmer, a hunch, than hard, scientific fact. And even then, the differences are minimal. But if we had to choose one service on this factor alone, it would no doubt be Pandora.
Music discovery
Song selection and music discovery are almost the same thing — but not quite. By "music discovery" we mean finding new music, that you've never heard before, that you like. And again, if this were the only element of this, we'd again have to go with Pandora here, since the selection of songs was better overall. But because Spotify has both a superior catalog, with 15 million songs, and because when you find a band or album you like through Spotify Radio, you can simply search for it, pull it up, and listen to it, without having buy anything, Spotify gains a ever-so-slight edge in this category.
Winner: Spotify
Skipping and station limits
Obviously, Spotify has the edge here, since 12 skips in a day is simply not enough. Same goes for its option of unlimited stations, but that's not nearly as big of a deal, since 100 stations (Pandora's maximum) is likely perfectly adequate for most users. We will say, however, that since Pandora offers a better selection of music in the first place, we found there to be less of a desire to skip songs on Pandora than on Spotify. Still, if you listen to Pandora all day long, you're going to want to skip more than 12 times. And we have long felt restricted by this limit. Long story short: Pandora needs to do away with the skip limit, or it's going to lose users (and, therefore; ad dollars) to Spotify.
Winner: Spotify
This one is quick and easy: Pandora is available, for free, on iOS, Android, BlackBerry, and WebOS handsets. Spotify users must pay to use the mobile apps, and even then, Spotify Radio isn't yet an option. We're sure this will change — the Spotify Radio part, not the paying part. But for now, Pandora has this category in the bag.
Winner: Pandora
As you can see, this showdown is more of a tossup than anything. Which service is better depends on how you like to listen to music. If you want to just set it on shuffle, and not think about it for the rest of the day, Pandora is the better option. If you want to be more interactive, Spotify is better, as it always has been. And, of course, you can always just use both.
That said, the updates to Spotify Radio bode ill for Pandora. Spotify is quickly evolving so that it dominates its competition on all fronts. And because of that, Pandora is already starting to feel a bit behind-the-times. If Pandora wants to remain a major player, it's going to have to start ushering in more features. For now, however, if you're simply looking to throw on some tune in the car or as background music at a dinner party, Pandora is the way to go.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
The marvels of modern technology never fail. My precious engineer daughter just moved to The Crescent City, and while she and her techno-savvy beau were here at Christmas, he fixed me up to use Skype on the Internet.
For you not-so-techno folks, Skype is some kind of hook-up that lets your computer connect with another Skyper so that the two of you can see each other and talk.
It's almost like being together, just no hand-holding or hugging possible.
This is how good and real it is:
Tuesday night, Margaret and I were chatting for the first time over Skype when I heard this pitty-pat, pitty-pat and wondered what it was.
Then, I heard this thump, thump, thump of Grandpup Bonnie speedily coming down the stairs.
That's odd, I thought.
The very intelligent Bonnie has a habit of climbing to the second stair and staring at me, on the couch, when she wants to go outside. But this little exercise seemed different.
That's because it was – Bonnie heard me talking to Margaret, her "Mama," and heard Margaret talking to me. Bonnie apparently figured Margaret must be upstairs, so she went to find her.
When she didn't, Bonnie came back downstairs, surely a bit confused.
As the pup started making plaintive squeeking noises, I picked her up and put her in my lap so that she, too, could Skype with Margaret.
For you blessed readers who have been keeping up with my exploits with the Grandpuppy, we believe she absolutely, positively will be moving to The Big Easy by early March when I will drive down there for a federal court hearing.
I know, I've thought this was happening before – through much of the past 20 months the sweet dumpling has been living with Nana. But, it's going to work this time.
Oh, aren't you going to miss her? people ask me. Well, sure, I have feelings.
But, as I respond, if I wanted a dog, I'd have a dog. This way, I can visit the Grandpup and then come home to a clean house.
Now, I must not let this moment pass as the 10-millionth person to publicly castigate (that's a good word, isn't it?) one of Mississippi's congressmen, Rep. Steven Palazzo of the Gulf Coast.
Mr. Palazzo, as you may have heard, had the hypocritical gall to vote against federal aid for the victims of 2012's Superstorm Sandy, after years and years of our state's sucking through the FEMA straw from our own natural disasters.
Dare I say, with Hurricane Katrina, Mississippians suffered greatly from seriously strong winds at least as far north as Starkville.
We all watched in horror back last Halloween as Sandy tore apart thousands of people's homes and lives. These people lost everything and rightfully looked to their federal and state governments for help.
As loud criticism rose toward Palazzo's no-vote on a $6-billion aid package, his office scrambled to make excuses. He said the deal should have included "spending offsets."
I don't recall any financial strings being attached to Katrina relief.
Shame on you, Mr. Palazzo. You embarrass all the rest of us who believe we help our countrymen, then figure out what to do next.
What a real stinker.

England 1827 – England 1886
Australia 1834-1857, 1884-1886
Minjah in the old time (Weerat Kuyuut and the Mopor people at Minjah Station)
oil on canvas
76.4 (h) x 101.7 (w) cm
Warrnambool Art Gallery, Victoria , Presented by Joseph Ware 1886
Dowling's first group portrait of the Victorian Aboriginal people, Minjah in the Old Time, is thought to be a commission from Joseph Ware. The painting shows the Spring Creek or Mopor Aborigines of the Gunditjmara people near the Minjah Station homestead.
The central figure is 'King Mopor' (Marpoura), the elder Weerat Kuyuut. His daughter 'Queen Mopor', Yarruum Parpurr Tarneen, sits to his right. The two standing figures are visiting the campsite and are likely to be Johnny Dawson, 'King Laratong' (Kangatong?), the head stock-keeper at nearby Kangatong Station and his wife Sarah ('Queen Laratong').

Conference focuses in history and identity of Sicily, April 2-3
Posted March 29, 2004; 10:11 a.m.
A conference on "The Sicilian Mirror: Projections of History and Identity" is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 2-3, on campus.
The event was inspired by "The Manuscript of the Prince," a 2000 film by award-winning director Roberto Andò. It will explore the universal aspects of the Sicilian experience and the artistry with which it has been made meaningful to an international public.
A distinguished group of authors -- Peter Brown, Guido Fink, Millicent Marcus, Nelson Moe, Gianni Riotta, Jane and Peter Schneider -- will reflect on some important issues: the burden of culture, class distinction, home and exile; identities and transformations; and provincialism and cosmopolitanism. Sessions will run from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday in 101 McCormick and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday in 106 McCormick.
At 8 p.m. Friday, Andò will introduce and show his film in the Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St. Speaking at 10 a.m. Saturday will be Prince Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi, a musicologist and adopted son of Prince Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, the prominent 20th-century Italian author who was the subject of Andò's film.
The free conference is being organized by Gaetana Marrone-Puglia, professor of French and Italian, and sponsored by the Council of the Humanities ; Department of French and Italian; Office of the President; Film Studies Committee; Program in Italian Studies; Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies; Gruppo Esponenti Italiani, New York; Italian Consulate, Philadelphia; and Istituto Italiano di Cultura, New York. For more information, call (609) 258-4670.

In recent news ...
On June 6 the Internet Society organized World IPv6 Launch to inaugurate the deployment of their new system for composing Internet addresses out of numbers, enabling all computers to find each other online. If this hasn't hit your radar screen then that shows the engineers are doing their job well. IPv4 addresses are closing in on their maximum of 1 billion addresses. IPv6 supplies an astronomically larger capacity for trillions more so the Internet will still have plenty of room to keep growing. The domain names users see — for example, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, and YouTube — get converted into numerical IP addresses behind the scenes. Popular websites such as those already mentioned are participating in World IPv6 Day along with ISPs AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and other types of vendors including Akamai and Cisco. Cnet News reported, "The World IPv6 Launch might look from the outside like a PR stunt designed to drum up enthusiasm for the new Internet technology, and there's an element of that to it. But given that real IPv6 services are now available from major sites, there's deeper substance, too." Aside from tech-minded features such as better efficiency and security, IPv6 provides the foundation for routine communication between any consumer Internet devices. Now that gobs of our gizmos will be able to find each other and play together, this could begin a new entertainment era once innovators explore the experiences they can create composing for orchestras of different devices that work together and communicate. Separately, on June 13 the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers is expected to announce the applications it has received for new generic top-level domain names, including candidates for the upcoming expansion of dot suffixes that Internet consumers use routinely, such as .com or .org.
The House Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Communications and Technology held a hearing on "The Future of Audio" on June 6. The diverse panel represented the chain from musical conception to listener.
Other panelists included National Music Publishers Association President and CEO David M. Israelite, Consumer Electronics Association President and CEO Gary Shapiro, Pandora founder and Chief Strategy Officer Tim Westergren, and representatives of the National Association of Broadcasters and wireless telecommunications industry. Broadcasters emphasized the continuing relevance of radio in today's marketplace, including the need to conserve spectrum and provide an alternative channel suited for emergencies. Many commented on the relevance of the Clear Channel royalty deal with Big Machine Label Group that hit the news the day before — an example of progress made through voluntary agreement in the private sector — but the entire hearing as well as the timing of that news were compelling evidence of legislators' important role.
On June 5 YouTube announced a slew of publishers' agreements to participate in the site's Content ID monetization program, another example of progress achieved in the private sector that was announced right before the subcommittee hearing. YouTube Music Head of Strategic Partner Development Elizabeth Moody said, "Today we're happy to share that we've reached publishing deals with BMG Rights Management, Christian Copyright Solutions, ABKCO Music Inc., Songs Music Publishing, Words & Music, Copyright Administration, Music Services, Reservoir Media Management, and Songs of Virtual. ... These publishers represent works from artists like Adele, Cee Lo Green, Foo Fighters, the Rolling Stones, Sam Cooke, and many others. ... These new deals, along with the licenses from the many publishers who have opted in to last year's deal with the NMPA/Harry Fox Agency, will allow us to monetize nearly all of the user-generated videos with music on YouTube."
The Pirate Bay used its blog to taunt RIAA's Cary Sherman after the June 6 subcommittee hearing. Referring to Sherman's hope that search engines will agree to avoid linking consumers to foreign rogue websites, TPB said, "Right now about 10 percent of our traffic comes from these competing search engines. With that ban in place that means that our traffic numbers probably will increase. Users will go directly to us instead and use our search instead. We'll grow even more massive. ... For once, we support your efforts in something!"
The Recording Academy actively represents the music community on such issues as intellectual property rights, music piracy, archiving and preservation, and censorship concerns. In pursuing its commitment to addressing these and other issues, The Recording Academy undertakes a variety of national initiatives.

Was looking for a dual exhaust system but unable to find same without custom manufacture. Checked YouTube for systems were and sound. Elected to go with the Flowmaster DBX single exhaust system. About 1 1/2 hours to install. Sound is as anticipated. Good throaty rumble. Does not activate car alarms like my Corvette system did, but it does have the throaty sound desired.

I recently conducted two seminars in the Dallas area and had a free afternoon between events.
Since both of my children were adopted from the Edna Gladney Home in Ft. Worth, I took a drive to go by there. After that, I drove to the northern side of Ft. Worth to visit the old stockyards.
They do something at the Ft. Worth Stockyards that isn't done anywhere else in the world. Twice a day, at 11:30 a.m. and then again at 4:00 p.m., they have a "cattle drive".
That's right. A "cattle drive". A bunch of cowboys lead 16 longhorn steers down Exchange Avenue for everyone to see what it was like in the Old West.
As I was watching that cattle drive that day, I thought about the correlation between a cattle drive and our goals in life. Most people have no written goals and they eventually wonder "what happened?"
What if, in the Old West, cowboys conducted cattle drives with no specific goal. They would probably just let the cattle wonder off in any direction. They had to have specific goals and specific plans on how to accomplish their mission. Otherwise, failure was assured.
Thus, if you have not written down specific goals for the next five years of your life, shouldn't this be your "driving ambition" right now? I think so!
Write down specific goals of how you want your life to be five years from now. Where will you live? What type of house or condo? What will you be driving? What do you want your state of health to be? How do you want your most important relationships to be?
Then divide those goals by 5 and define what portions of those goals you want to accomplish in the next 12 months. A further step would be to divide your 12 month goals into portions you want to accomplish in the next 30 days.
Then, like the cattle moving down Exchange Avenue one step at a time, get started on your short-term goals (for the next 30 days) and take one step at a time.
It's important to actually "see and believe" your short-term, 30 days goals. If you don't see and believe them, lower the expectations until you get to a point where you say "anybody could do that". That's when you'll believe and achieve those short-term goals.
In time, many short-term goals, accomplished one after another, lead to the achievement of really big goals.
Be sure to identify some sensible rewards along the way as you achieve each goal. That way your mind will get the idea that good things happen when you make a concerted effort to achieve important goals.
Like the cattle drive I saw that day at the old Ft. Worth Stockyards, let's drive your future in the right direction, with written goals and small initial steps.
Isn't it time that we "steer" things toward a great future?
A Goal Setting Affirmation
I am writing down my 5 year, 12 month, and 30 day goals and taking steps to accomplish them.

Did That Jelly Roll?
A Pacific sea nettle (Chrysaora fuscescens)
Why Yes, Yes, It Did.
People's reaction to jellyfish depends a lot on their interaction with them. Step on one walking down the beach, bad reaction. See one in an aquarium, and they're gorgeous, good reaction. Go swimming in the ocean and get stung, bad reaction. Get the opportunity to swim with them underwater in their natural environment, unbelievably good reaction! But apart from humans' actions and reactions to jellyfish, researchers are learning that these creatures play a much bigger role in many more ecosystems than was once believed.
- Jellies Down Deep at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF32cWVZChM
No Duh's and Head Scratchers
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- How is the form of a jellyfish related to the functions a jellyfish needs to carry out to survive? How are these both connected to the environment in which the jellyfish live? How do you think this contributes to people thinking these are simple creatures? How would you try to get people to understand how an open water environment differs from a terrestrial environment?
- How did old sampling techniques for the deep sea lead to an undersampling of gelatinous animals? What are researchers realizing now with new sampling techniques? What technology is making this possible?
- What kinds of information are researchers now able to collect with new technology? How important do you think this information is for understanding these organisms? What information would you like to collect given the opportunity?
- What is the best studied part of the deep sea on the planet? What geographical feature has made this possible? Do you think you could recreate this situation at another location? What sorts of problems would you need to overcome?
- Acidity in the world's ocean is increasing due to increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth's atmosphere. Several lines of research suggest this increased acidity will benefit jellyfish, and they will come to dominate the world's ocean. If this does happen, how would it affect your view of the way evolution works? Keeping in mind your current view of evolution, do you think it makes sense that a "primitive" organism could become "Ruler of the Seas"?

138 Pint Industrial Dehumidifier
Description & Highlights
Ebac 138 Pint Industrial Dehumidifier
Eliminate excess humidity with the Ebac 138 Pint Industrial Dehumidifier (CD200). Designed for use in medium-sized areas including warehouses, factories, and offices, the high-capacity CD200 unit controls humidity and prevents mold and mildew growth - removing up to 138 pints of moisture in spaces up to 3,500 square feet per day. A built-in humidistat lets you set your ideal humidity level and maintain the level of dryness - cycling the compressor on and off to maintain your preferences while conserving energy. Able to tackle humid indoor conditions immediately, the CD200 comes equipped with an internal condensate pump that offers continuous drainage of moisture collected through a condensate hose and two adjustable fan speeds capable of processing up to 664 cubic feet of air per minute at the highest fan level. The twin speed centrifugal fan maximizes air delivery over longer distances. Energy efficient, the CD200 lets you save on your energy bills, drawing only 10.6 amps of electricity.
A large temperature range allows you to operate the CD200 at temperatures as high as 95 degrees Fahrenheit and as low as 33 degrees Fahrenheit - with a unique, temperature sensitive "Reverse Cycle" defrosting feature that automatically melts away frost buildup to ensure effective operation at low ambient temperatures. Installation is easy, as the self-contained CD200 can operate as a standalone unit or be attached to optional ducting - with adjustable feet to facilitate transport. Enclosed in epoxy-coated, heavy-gauge steel housing, with a permanently sealed fan, and a durable compressor, this heavy-duty dehumidifier is built to withstand the wear and tear of harsh environments and varying climates - making it a great investment for industry professionals.
Every minute, the Ebac CD200 Dehumidifier draws in up to 664 cubic feet of moist air. Once the air is inside the unit, the fan passes it through the refrigerant evaporator coil. The cold evaporator coil cools the air while extracting moisture - gathering water so it falls into an enclosed container. After the cooling process is complete, the air is reheated and dehumidified by a heat recovery system, then air circulated back into your space considerably dryer and warmer. The CD200 dehumidifier continues this energy-efficient process, treating surrounding moist air until every pocket of damp air is dehumidified - switching off automatically when the water container is full or when it reaches your selected level of dryness.
High-Capacity Dehumidifier:Intended for industrial application, the CD200 can remove up to 138 pints of moisture per day - ideal for spaces up to 3,500 square feet including warehouses, basements, factories, hospitals, storage facilities, and offices
Built-in Humidistat:An adjustable internal humidistat lets you set your ideal humidity level and maintain the level of dryness - cycling the compressor on and off to maintain your preferences while conserving energy, and automatically shutting off when optimum levels are reached
Low Temperature Operation:A large temperature range allows you to operate the CD200 at temperatures as low as 33 degrees Fahrenheit - with a unique defrosting feature that automatically melts away frost buildup at low ambient temperatures

LOOKING DEEPLY WITHIN Maine poet Betsy Sholl.
In "The Sea Itself," Betsy Sholl writes of a No said to the storm tide: "...such a total No, it became a kind of Yes,/so the world was suddenly everything at once,/solid and shifty, stormy and calm." It is the opening poem of her magnificent seventh book, Rough Cradle, a volume that widens and transcends boundaries between all manner of elements.
Through wave crests and dump heaps, bare tables and roads, Rough Cradle explores mutability, a fluidity between forms, whether bodies or water, rock or grief. Sholl wends from this tenuousness both anxiety and joy: When, in the backwoods dump of "Gone," briars and iron oxide claim things people once used — mattresses, radiators — she writes of "all that was human/gone feral the dizzy acceleration/looking down that deep well teetering the terror/and thrill of it...." Elsewhere, that transition of thing to other is almost celestial, sensual in its comfort: "If it's all light/in the end," asks "Love Song with Departure," "why not practice now"? "Even stones", it pronounces, "become light."
The transitive nature of all this matter moves Sholl to find glorious nuances and oppositions in the darker places she treads. She renders, for example, striking inversions of loss: In the luminous redemption of "Birdwatching," in which she ponders the double-edged legacies left her by her mother, she wonders whether "a bird/flying off doesn't have to mean gone,/it could mean: look at that bright going."
As she upends perspectives, her powers of synthesis, making god's-eyes of unlike threads, are near deific. In her gorgeous "Transport," those threads are "illegal roads gouged through the rain forest" she hears about on the car radio as she's stopped in road work, along with the specter of Dante, canned by corrupt officials from his job as road superintendent of Florence. All seems grim, caught in an arbitrary equation of damage; she imagines the rain forest birds "dust-drenched in roadside scrub,/grit in their throats, a song lost for each half-mile/of progress, something broken for each thing made...." Roads have been ripped out of green, re-routed, re-paved; hard travel all along. But then, the shift: "Could it be true, all the way to heaven is heaven,/as St. Catherine said? It would take a saint to see that...." And now here's Dante again. He has "conjured a paradise out of pure swoon" through the grime of the streets, "through which he sees/the road in airy shimmers begin to rise." And so have Sholl's disparate elements united to redeem the grudging, grubbing nature of transport, from the moving around of bodies to bodies beatifically moved — and Sholl imparts a ravishing divinity and wisdom in the reversal.
Sholl's music, throughout these transmutations, is rich, pitch-perfect per song, and deliciously varied. Consider her voice in "California Morning," hearing hidden birds, and her own imitative, insistent bird-call urge to "get-it-get-it," to see those twitterers plain. Listen to the jazzy crass patois of "Endless Argument," in which woodland crows scour your trash and figurative wallets are cadged: "Bitch if you want,/but somebody's gonna stick around/come winter.../...and resist,/insist, this grit, these guts — this is it." And the deep-water, concentric tones struck of "Lullaby in Blue": "Child, the world comes in twos, above and below,/visible and unseen. Inside your mother's croon/there's the hum of an old man.../...his instrument made from one/string nailed to a wall, as if anything/can be turned into song...."

My lab pup was progressing with her retrieving training, and I was just beginning water training when she injured a growth plate, causing displasia, leading to surgery (osteotomy) and 6 weeks of recovery. Altogether over two months of training lost. She is now almost 7 months old. Doc says that the surgery was a great success, her recovery has been great, etc., time to get her going again.
We let her retrieve just a few times toward the end of her recovery, and she did not seem to have lost anything in her retrieving ability. Then had the pin taken out about 5 days ago, and today she seems to have forgotten how to retrieve. At all. She just looks away disinterestedly, and if you can get her to make a retrieve at all, it's only a very short distance, and she drops the ball on the way back, which she never did even when learning to retrieve the first time. Something has definitely changed, there is something going on here that I just don't understand.
So, we're back at square one. How do I restart her training? When I first started, she had no problem running for the throw toy, and quickly figured out what to do. Now it seems like she is purposefully avoiding doing what she knows to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You don't get to see the catcher at all before you go into your flight. Hope to get it right next week. Of course the flights of this week are posted on this site.
After class it was only the beginning of the afternoon and because the weather was great I thought about visiting a beach at Coney Island or Brighton Beach
the destructed areas where Sandy hit the land. The amusement park on Coney Island looked more like one of my –under-construction- parks from Rollercoaster Tycoon games. So after an hour I left the beach again. I needed to do my run anyway and I'm planning on going to do that in Brooklyn Bridge park!
The run on the Brooklyn Bridge went ok! It's a tough route I must say. It's a long bridge, with small paths and tourists wondering all over the place and there are bikers as well. Half of the tour is hard, since you're going uphill and half of it is somewhat easier since you're going down. It has great
views on the Brooklyn Bridge, Lower Manhattan, Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan Bridge. If I'm getting a thrill out of this short run, how must people feel when they do full marathon in New York (sorry folks, not this year of course). And I never jumped on a bus before I got a run, and then run back at the end to catch a bus to get back again. It's amazing what you'll do for some crazy goals!

Lab Test Interpretation for Celiac and Gluten Sensitivity
The question below came from a listener of my recent virtual book tour. It was a bit horrifying to read, I must tell you. Unfortunately I see this type of poor advice given often, but it doesn't make it any less palatable.
Here's the question:
"I had positive deamidated gliadin antibodies but did not have any celiac-specific antibodies... my doctor did not recommend I go gluten-free. What does this mean and where do I go from there?"
The deamidated gliadin antibody test IS a celiac-specific test. It is believed to be more sensitive than the traditional tTG test and that is why it is being used more broadly. As you may know, one of our biggest concerns is to have those suffering from celiac and gluten sensitivity diagnosed as soon as possible. Early diagnosis will help to prevent a tremendous amount of suffering, ill health and secondary autoimmune diseases.
Unfortunately this person's doctor didn't seem to know what the purpose of the test was and as a result didn't recommend that a celiac patient remove gluten from their diet! What a tragedy…
On the bright side, I was happy that this individual attended the virtual book tour and shared her question. Now she knows what the test means and will remove gluten from her diet. This will not only improve her current health status but will also hopefully protect her from developing future problems such as autoimmune disease.
Situations just as this occur all too frequently. While such ignorance may not be intentional on the part of the doctor, it is ignorance none the less and the effects it creates can be devastating. We see it here at our clinic, unfortunately, all too often. A patient came in just last week with undiagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis (a skin condition related to celiac disease) who was told that the reason her skin looked the way it did was because she had a psychological problem and she was prescribed antidepressants. Fortunately a friend helper her to find us and we KNOW that her problem is not a mental one.
The bottom line is that it is critical to find a clinician who is really informed about celiac and gluten sensitivity. Here's a test question for your doctor: Ask him or her if they would recommend removing gluten from the diet due to suspected gluten sensitivity even without the presence of celiac. If the doctor states there is no reason to eliminate gluten from the diet if celiac isn't present, then find a new clinician. This may sound harsh but I want you to be healthy. There is too much needless ill health from undiagnosed gluten intolerance
I know that I'm located in California and not all of you are. But I do want you to know that I am more than happy to help you locate someone to help you if you are unable to visit us here.
To your good health,

I would very much like help in finding a celiac-friendly doctor in northern New Mexico.
I am also looking for a doctor in New Mexico that has experience with celic or gluten intolerance
- Paula K. said...
I would very much like to know if there is a Celiac Specialist doctor in Southeast Georgia or Northern Florida or even Southeast South Carolina? (I live in the Savannah, Georgia area). Thank you very much!
- Paula K. said...
Do you know of any Celiac professionals near the Savannah, Georgia area? I would be delighted if you could help me find one, and thank you very much.
- The HealthNOW Doctors said...
Dear Paula, Tibby and Anonymous,
While I don't personally know of any doctors in those areas, I can suggest two things:
1. Visit the Institute for Functional Medicine online. They have a 'find a practitioner' tab that can perhaps help you. Not all the doctors are experts in gluten, so you need to ask.
2. Here at HealthNOW we are a destination clinic and people visit us from all over the world. After your first in person visit, you can work with us long distance over the phone.
If you'd like to receive a free health analysis, consider calling us at 408-733-0400.

The Tomb of King David is a recent (mediaeval) site which could not be the actual burial place as King David was buried in the City of David which lies further east and south. As it is, the tomb is strangely situated in the same crusader building that houses the Coenaculum. The constant trickle of Jewish pilgrims to the site increases significantly on the religious festival of Shavu'ot (pentecost), traditionally the anniversary of the death of King David.
1 Kings Chapter 2:
10 Then David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. 11 And the time that David reigned over Israel was forty years; he reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 12 So Solomon sat upon the throne of David his father; and his kingdom was firmly established.

The email (in support of www.KnifeRights.org) said U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) has reinterpreted the Federal Switchblade Act:
Note, please, that CBP's interpretation of the Federal Switchblade Act forms the basis for national, state and even local law and judicial rulings in many cases. This ruling by CBP is NOT limited to just imports. This WILL affect virtually everyone who carries a pocket knife, no matter the type!
It went on to say that 80% of pocket knives sold today are one-hand or assisted opening knives. This ruling doesn't just apply to imports, and I'll bet most of us have knives that would become illegal.
For more information, and to take steps in protest of this ruling during a 30-day comment period that ends June 21, go to http://www.KnifeRights.org.
We're living in a world that's getting crazier all the time.

Shares of enterprise data analytics and data visualization software maker Qlik Technologies (QLIK) today closed down 46 cents, or 1.5%, at $31.16, after the company yesterday afternoon beat Q2 revenue expectations but delivered a net loss a penny worse than expected, and offered forecasts for this quarter and next below expectations.
Analysts today were focusing on what they believe is a reasonable dip in revenue growth in advance of the next major release of the company's product, "Qlikview.Next," which is expected to go into early trials with a limited set of customers in the fourth quarter. The Street believes .Next is essential to keep the company ahead of competitor Tableau Software (DATA). At the same time, bull and bear acknowledge development costs are depressing the profit outlook.
Qlik CEO Lars Bjork was kind enough to swing by Barron's offices this afternoon to discuss the results and outlook.
Bjork's contention with respect to the company's lower profit outlook is that Qlik has a "large market opportunity," and that now is the time to invest to capture that opportunity, rather than worrying overly much about quarterly profit.
When I point out that the Street views .Next as Qlick's attempt to "catch up" to Tableau, he asserts that such a statement fails to appreciate that Qlik has a "powerful engine" for analyzing data behind the scenes, more powerful than the mere visualization that Tableau offers.
.Next, he contends, will expand the user base and expand the use cases for the software because "it makes it very quick to get out of the gate and get something up and running" for an individual data analysis project, making analysis easier for more people. "We have to continue to lower the barrier to entry for users," says Bjork.
.Next will also make it easy to start a Qlik project on a smartphone or tablet. Today, projects require local file access and so they have to start on a PC, even though the projects can be used on a tablet. .Next will make data visualization on non-PC devices comparable to that on PCs, he contends.
Interesting factoid: In a prior life, in the early '80s, Bjork was a construction manager supervising renovation of New York's Throggs Neck Bridge, where he had to walk across beams 75 feet up.
Nathan Schneiderman of Roth Capital Partners reiterates a Buy rating on the shares, and a $35 price target, writing that "in thinking about the disappointment, we believe the company is likely just giving
itself extra wiggle room for Q3 on revenue, and we consider the EPS adjustments (while disappointing) fairly minor, particularly given the healthy revenue growth."
"While we expect the stock to be down some on the news, we would encourage investors to buy on any abnormally large selloff."
CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets's Ed Maguire reiterates a Buy rating as well, and a $36 price target, writing that "the story is on the right track."
Maguire thinks that with "steady execution, focused product strategy" and an "evolution toward more of an enterprise sales model," thus far, Qlik deserves the benefit of the doubt that .Next will be "not good but great."
He sizes up an increasingly competitive "business intelligence" market:
It's our view that users and partners look to QlikView more as a platform for building applications, while Tableau offers a visualization overlay that complements existing analytic systems. Competition from the traditional Business Intelligence vendors is getting fiercer, as they need to protect their existing businesses. However, the QlikView approach does not require the same 3 to 1 ratio of services to license spend. As the company's expansion within customers is leading towards larger deals, the challenges of competing more directly with the tradition BI vendors has required better competitive intelligence and upgrading the enterprise sales force. Management's view is that the sales organization's pace of hiring can slow as the company focused on productivity.

New York Times best-selling author Ted Dekker teams with Tosca Lee to create this gripping thriller set in a desolate future.
Many years have passed since civilization's brush with apocalypse. The world's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There is only perfect peace... and fear. But a terrible secret has been closely guarded for centuries: Every single soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally normal, is actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity.
Fleeing pursuit, with only moments to live, a young man named Rom stumbles into possession of a vial of blood and a piece of cryptic writing. When consumed, the blood will bring him back to life. When decoded, the message will lead him on a perilous journey that will require him to abandon everything he has ever known and awaken humanity to the transforming power of true life and love.
But the blood will also resurrect hatred, ambition, and greed.
Set in a terrifying, medieval future, where grim pageantry masks death, this tale of dark desires and staggering stakes peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare to take the ride.
©2011 Ted Dekker (P)2011 Hachette Audio
"Don't miss out on a great book!"
I have read most of Ted Dekker's books and love them. I almost didn't get this one due to some of the negative reviews. I am so glad I didn't listen and went with my heart. It is now one of my favorites! I can't wait for the next in the series!!!
"Not Bad but Not Good"
I had a hard time swallowing the plot of the book. The premise that we had forgotten all emotion and the main characters suddenly wake up and remember they had emotions, is ludicrous to me. There is a chosen one that will awaken everyone to the emotions they have forgotten. Some how though one person has found his emotion and is plotting to become the top dog. Ted Dekker has many great books but this is just not one of them. I think I have a good imagination but I cannot imagine people without emotion.
"great :]"
The story was typical Dekker-esque thrills and plot twists; my only nag is the narration. Mr. Levya just doesn't seem to capture the gravity in the change from a world of death to a living world of emotions; his voice remains flat with the characters' new experiences with feeling. That being said, the story was still great though!
"Hang in there, the book gets really good"
It took me a while to get the flow of the book with the amount of characters being introduced and the concept of what the book was about. Once I wraped my arms around these, I loved the book.
"Seemed promising, but just read Circle series."
No, but only because the second book in the series ruined it. This book was entertaining, and got me engaged. But then I listened to the second book and lost all interest.
Often, yes.
I really enjoy the books I read and hear!
"Not Worth Paying For!"
True garbage! Story has every opportunity to be ground breaking, but at every turn fails to get there. Words just to have words. Heroes are so predictable, that you know what is going to happen chapters ahead of happening. I expected more out of this well known team.
"Uninspiring story, but with fantastic narration!"
"Forbidden" explores cliché themes with a fairly predictable plot-line and superficial characters whose motivations are unbelievable and whose personalities are difficult to relate to. While not an overly boring read (much thanks to the excellent narration by Henry Leyva), "Forbidden" feels adolescent, leaving much to be desired for in a professional work of adult fiction.
"I couldnt' do it"
Wow. Not often I will say this, but this book didn't work for me, and I gave up. ( Perhaps abit too early? ) Incoherent at times, or perhaps just not my cup of tea, but regardless, I can't recommend this cluttered story.
The narrator did an amazing job, and it made me love the book even more!!! Definitely a good read if you're up for a fun read, or if you want to take a more abstract approach and compare it to today's society.
"Can't go wrong with Dekker."
Cannot say anything wrong with Ted Dekker. The story build quick enough to get you interested while at the same time being able to get you to know the characters.

COLLEGE STATION Tex. – Mississippi State made the most of its first-ever Southeastern Conference baseball series with Texas A&M.
The 16th-ranked Bulldogs pounded out a conference game-best 15 runs on 19 hits as MSU completed the rare conference road sweep with a 15-4 win over Texas A&M Sunday afternoon at Blue Bell Park.
MSU improved to 30-9 overall and 8-7 in league play, while Texas A&M is now 21-16 and 6-9. The Bulldogs have won five of their last six conference games and have now grabbed back-to-back series wins. MSU is above .500 in league play for the first time this season.
All doubt was removed with an eight-run fourth inning for the Maroon and White. Already leading 1-0, the Bulldogs tallied all eight of those scores with two outs. The big blow was a grand slam by Nick Ammirati – one of three home runs by the Bulldogs. The grand slam was MSU's first of the season.
"Nick had such a huge swing," MSU head coach John Cohen said. "It really is unheard of in this league to score eight runs in one inning. We were able to do just that with two outs. We just kept plugging away and scoring some runs.
"I felt along this team had a chance to get on a roll. We have pitched it well and defended it well all season. This weekend, you should saw great at-bats and some of our capabilities on offense."
The Bulldogs pounded out what was then a conference game-best 15 hits in Saturday's 9-3 series-clinching win. MSU did even better with 19 hits on Sunday. For the weekend, the Bulldogs scored 27 runs on 39 base hits.
"The league is elevated now with 14 teams," Cohen said. "It is difficult to win a series, let alone to be able to sweep a series, especially on the road. I thought we had some good fortune. Then we got some barrels in the right spot."
Prior to the Ammirati slam, Brett Pirtle drew a bases-loaded walk and Wes Rea ripped a two-run single. Derrick Armstrong also recorded an RBI with a bases-loaded walk. Ammirati capped the big inning with his grand slam to left field.
Wes Rea had given MSU its early lead with an RBI-double in the first inning.
The early offense would be more than enough for winning pitcher Jacob Lindgren (3-1). In 5.1 innings of work, Lindgren allowed three hits and three runs (one earned), with five strikeouts and three walks.
Texas A&M scored all four of its runs in the sixth inning when MSU had an atypical defensive letdown, committing two errors in the same inning.
Ross Mitchell got the Bulldogs out of their tight spot in the sixth inning, before giving way to Jonathan Holder in the seventh inning. Holder faced 10 batters and struck out four in three innings of one-hit relief for his 11th save.
"Jacob really gave us a quality start," Cohen said. "Ross came in and got the double play ball but we couldn't execute. That is very rare, because we are a great defensive team. However, our errors extended the inning.
"Jonathan came in after that and really put his stamp on the game. He did a great job of closing things out."
MSU expanded the lead with four scores in the eighth inning and two more scores in the ninth inning.
The Bulldogs collected RBI-singles by C.T. Bradford, Ammirati and Adam Frazier in the eighth inning. Renfroe hit his league-best 13th home run of the season and Rea hit his third in the ninth inning.
Rea had his first four-hit game of the season to lead the MSU attack. Renfroe had his fifth three-hit game, while Ammirati had his second. Pirtle added his eighth multi-hit game and Armstrong his first.
Ammirati set a career high with five RBIs, while Rea drove in a career-best four runs.
Krey Bratsen had three of Texas A&M's eight hits. Mitchell Nau added multiple hits. Starting pitcher Corey Ray (3-1) failed to make it out of the fourth inning and took the loss.
Now, MSU returns home to rest up for Super Bulldog Weekend when longtime Western Division rival Auburn comes to town. The Bulldogs and Tigers meet at 6:30 p.m. Thursday (ESPNU), 6:30 p.m. Friday (Comcast Sports Southeast) and 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Thursday night game is part of the national ESPNU Game of the Week package and will help kickoff a weekend full of spring homecoming activities at MSU.
"A lot of teams around the league have had trouble drawing fans to the Thursday night game," Cohen said. "I don't want that to be our problem. We need the place packed out Thursday night. This is tremendous exposure for our team and our university. It is a big recruiting weekend for the program as well.
"This is another opportunity for our fans to show why they are the best fans in college baseball. We are excited coming home and playing before those fans. It is going to an incredible atmosphere and a big weekend for our club."
The first 8,000 fans in attendance Thursday night will receive free t-shirts. A postgame fireworks show is also planned at Dudy Noble Field.
