Google Earth Reveals a mystery in China
Google Earth Satellites have spotted some massive mysterious structures in a remote location in the Gobi Desert. This anomaly stretches over 1 mile long and can be seen from space. The structure seems to consists of strange rectangles contained within a giant rectangle.
The theories on this anomaly are diverse. Some state they are the Chinese Military testing nuclear or military technology. Others claim they are for peaceful purposes and resemble some sort of solar technology. Still others claim these marks are the work of extra terrestrials with an unknown agenda.
Many are claiming that around the time of Roswell and Area 51 there were many fields like this in the USA.
Interestingly enough the shapes are within 100 miles of the Chinese Space facilities. All of the images are from an area located in Dunhuang, Jiuquan, Gansu, north of the Shule River, which crosses the Tibetan Plateau to the west into the Kumtag Desert. Have fun looking on your own!

This recipe is from the side of a large can of SPC Peach Halves in natural fruit juice. The can is 825g (roughly 30 ounces) and the fruit content is labelled at being at least 59% of the can. The original recipe had 2 tablespoons of sugar....but I don't think it's necessary with lovely sweet fruit. Cook time does not include freezing time

Folks your selling the Islanders short in a lot of ways. Solid goaltending, pretty good on defense this year and Johnny T has been awesome this season. They really have an underrated top 6 and I think this is the one team the Pens wanted to avoid.
With that said I still believe the Pens win the series, but it will not be easy. Pens in 6.

Tavares will outplay Sid and the Islanders will win in 6 because Fleury sucks and Vokoun is not going to save the Pens.

The Pens will win but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say the Isles will make a series out of it before being eliminated in game 6.

Jocks and Stiletto Jill:
Panthers DE Greg Hardy has made a bold proclamation that has nothing to do with football. In a recent interview with the Charlotte Observer, the former Ole Miss basketball player claims that he can beat NBA MVP LeBron James in a game of one-on-one.
Q: If you went 1-on-1 with LeBron who would win?
A: How should I answer this question? …I would dominate that dude. Hands down, guaranteed win. And that's my favorite player.
Q: Why?
A: I'm a beast
Q: He's pretty good too, though.
A: What's your point? Everyone says he can go to the NFL and play defensive end, who says I cant go to the NBA?
Q: I'm not saying you can't. I'm asking, why do you feel so confident that you'd beast LeBron James in a game of 1-on-1?
A: I'm not saying I would beast him, but I would definitely win. I got a good shot, I got good handles, I got good size (6-foot-4, 275 pounds). I feel that we match up pretty well. I was a defensive player in college.
Q: Doesn't he have about four inches on you? (LeBron is 6-foo...

Old Campus
Coordinates: 41°18′31″N 72°55′43″W / 41.3085°N 72.9285°W
The Old Campus is a complex of buildings at Yale University on the block at the northwest end of the Green in New Haven, Connecticut, consisting of dormitories, classrooms, chapels, and offices. Old Campus includes Yale's oldest building, Connecticut Hall, and a main entrance from the Green at Phelps Gate.
The first building of Yale College (Old College) in New Haven was built here in 1718 where Bingham Hall now stands. Falling into disrepair, this building was ultimately destroyed by students in 1782. Beginning with Connecticut Hall in 1750, the buildings of Old Brick Row were built here. The campus plan for Old Brick Row was developed by John Trumbull and James Hillhouse.[1] It was the first planned college campus in the United States and served as a model for other campuses. Old Brick Row included four dormitories: Union Hall (South College), Connecticut Hall (South Middle), Berkeley Hall (North Middle), and North College. In between, there was Atheneum (First Chapel), Connecticut Lyceum, and Second Chapel.[2]
The Yale Fence, which ran along on College in front of Old Brick Row, was a favorite of many generations of students. Plans for new buildings led to its demise in 1888. The Yale Fence Club was named in its memory. The fence currently lining Old Campus also evokes the old fence.
Many other buildings stood on the Old Campus which were removed to make way for the current configuration of structures, including The Old Laboratory (1782–1888), The Cabinet (1819–1890), Trumbull Gallery (1832–1901), Alumni Hall (1853–1911, Alexander Jackson Davis; the towers from this building were rescued and rebuilt behind the tomb of Skull and Bones), Old Dwight Hall (1885–1926, J. Cleaveland Cady), and Osborn Hall (1888–1926, Bruce Price).[3]
Current buildings[edit]
Connecticut Hall (1752), the only survivor of the Old Brick Row, still stands after plans for its destruction, along with the rest of the row, were dropped. Lanman-Wright Hall (1912, William Adams Delano), Durfee Hall (1871, Russell Sturgis), Farnam Hall (1870, Russell Sturgis), Lawrance Hall (1886, Russell Sturgis), Welch Hall (1891, Bruce Price), Bingham Hall (1928, Walter B. Chambers), and Vanderbilt Hall (1894, Charles C. Haight) are used as dormitories for Freshmen. McClellan Hall (1925, Walter B. Chambers) was built as a partner for Connecticut Hall; it was derided by students in a "Pageant of Symmetry" with the slogan "For God, for Country, and for Symmetry."[4] Upperclassmen live in McClellan. Chittenden Hall (1889–90, J. Cleaveland Cady) was connected to Dwight by Linsly (1906-06, Charles C. Haight) to form Linsly-Chittenden Hall. The stained glass window "Education" by Louis Tiffany is in Chittenden. Phelps Hall (1924, Charles Haight), Dwight Chapel (The Old Library, 1846, Henry Austin), Battell Chapel (1876, Russell Sturgis), and Street Hall (1866, Peter Bonnett Wight) are also located on the Old Campus.
There are bronze statues on Old Campus of Nathan Hale (1913, Bela Pratt), Theodore Dwight Woolsey (1896, John Ferguson Weir), and Abraham Pierson (1874, Launt Thompson). There are also statues of lions at the entrance to (Lanman-Wright Hall).
Student life[edit]
Old Campus houses freshmen from ten of Yale College's twelve residential colleges. These students are assigned a residential college before starting their studies at Yale, live in Old Campus dormitories during their freshman year, and move into their colleges at the beginning of sophomore year. Students assigned to Silliman College and Timothy Dwight College live in their colleges for all four years.
Old Campus hosts several annual activities, including Freshman Olympics, Spring Fling, and Commencement in May. It also houses the Exploration Senior Program for six weeks during the summer.
In popular culture[edit]
In the fourth season of the television show Gilmore Girls, Rory Gilmore and Paris Geller lived in Durfee Hall in their freshman year.

The PSU for my Corsair SP2200 speakers is making a weird kind of screeching noise all of a sudden. I have no idea what's causing it as they were working fine just yesterday. The actual speakers work perfectly fine, it's just the PSU that's screeching and it's a little concerning. Does anyone know what could be causing this and how to stop it? Many Thanks Chris
sounds like capacitor whine or coil win, can you post a vid of it to confirm if it is then it is a new psu. Edit: sound like this?
My Specs are: Windows 7 Gigabyte GA-770TA-UD3 AMD Phenom II 995 Geil Value 4gb DDR3 ATI Radeon HD 5850 OCZ ModXStream Pro 500w The speakers are Corsair SP2200 as stated above. I've just installed a fresh copy of windows 7 on my system and the only changes have been the windows updates.
is the noise defiantly coming from that pack? bet there not cheap if that's a custom kit for the system.
ye, it took me a little while to locate the source of the noise but it's definitely coming from the speakers power pack. I just can't understand what would make it create that noise. Guess it's a case of buying a replacement. Annoying.
when did you get the setup? as it has a 2 year warranty Corsair Gaming Audio Series dealing with corsair direct will be better and faster if your still under warranty if just out post up on there forum as you never no, there support is second to none mate .

Cat lovers know the delightfully serene vibe a napping feline gives off. Imagine that multiplied by about 65, and you have a sense of how a chill Sunday afternoon feels at Thundering Paws Animal Sanctuary in Dripping Springs.
Among the dozens of cats at the little house turned no-kill, nonprofit sanctuary, some are waiting for their forever homes. Others are permanent residents: ferals who want little to do with humans, and cats with physical or behavioral problems that make them unadoptable. All find love and safety at Thundering Paws.

How to adopt: Animals from Thundering Paws are available for adoption daily at PetSmart, 12812 Shops Parkway No. 400 in Bee Cave, and on weekends at PetSmart, 5207 Brodie Lane. You also can adopt at the sanctuary itself; call ahead to get the address. An adoption application is available online. Rabbit adoptions are handled through House Rabbit Resource Network (rabbitresource.org).
Adoption tip: If your new cat hides under the bed for a couple of days, it doesn't mean your adoption has failed. He just needs a little time to get used to a new home, sanctuary director Anne Zabolio says.
How to volunteer: Thundering Paws needs more people to foster pets to help get them ready for adoption. As Zabolio points out, fostering is a great way to try out living with a pet if you're trying to decide whether to adopt. Volunteers are always welcome for other jobs as well, including working at Thundering Paws' adoption centers, transporting animals to and from adoption events and vet appointments and helping with feeding, litter scooping and socializing animals at the sanctuary.
What Thundering Paws needs: The sanctuary's goal is to have the equivalent of 1,000 donors giving $10 every month. Gift certificates to Healthy Pet (4301 W. William Cannon at Arbor Trails), which gives Thundering Paws a discount, are also appreciated. The cats would enjoy toys that don't require the help of a human to be fun (like those circular tracks with a ball inside) and catnip-filled toys. Other needs: washable cat beds, Tidy Cat scoopable litter, and other, nonscoopable litters. Find a complete wish list on the Thundering Paws website.

Soul-directed sights come into view when resistance is kicked to the curb
- Details
- Written by Lucy Shaw

Dear Lucy: Last year I started wearing eyeglasses. I have had to have the prescription changed once this year to a stronger lens. The doctor says that I don't have any kind of awful threat of going blind or anything like that, it's just that I have reached a certain age. I really don't like wearing glasses and I am always misplacing my glasses. It's really getting annoying because I seem to be obsessed with this thing about my eyes. Any thoughts about this?
Dear CY: It seems that during the past few weeks I have been having lots of thoughts about my own eyes and other people are talking to me about theirs! You are seeing a doctor and so you should deal with your doctor on what's happening from a physical standpoint. I have mine checked right on schedule and recently renewed my prescription. My opinion, on the other hand is from a different perspective. When I think about the human faculties of seeing and hearing, this statement of Jesus always comes up for me...."Let those with eyes to see, see and those with ears to hear, hear." He was not talking about physical eyes and ears. Rather, he was referring to our spiritual sight and hearing.
Here is what has been happening to me over the last two to three months. I let this slip by me until recently when some things started happening to make me stop and really consider. I have been wearing eyeglasses as a necessity for several years now. I really resisted wearing them. My baby sister had LASIK surgery at 40 years old after wearing glasses from the time she was a teen. She called me on her way from the surgery amazed at her new found capacity to see clearly without glasses. I am ten years older than her and at the time that I checked into the surgery, I was told my eyes were "too old." So, while I don't receive this business about "old eyes" (or old anything!), I settled on wearing my eyeglasses.
Now, I like to make life fun and interesting. So does my sister, Carole, who also wears glasses. So we buy prescription eyeglasses in different shapes, colors and styles just to entertain our vanity and maybe even make an occasional fashion statement while we use the gift of physical vision. That may seem expensive or extravagant to some, but it's a choice between the glasses and some other thing to spend money on. We have also found an affordable means of doing this. And, it works for us.
But, lately, I have been misplacing eyeglasses left and right! I mean flat out losing them and not being able to find them. This is a weird thing for me because I believe that nothing in God's universe can be lost...temporarily misplaced, but not lost. I now have three pairs of missing eyeglasses.
Here is what I am doing about it:
One: I am affirming diligently that they are not lost.
Two: my prayer partner reminded me that I told her years ago to drink Eyebright tea when she had an eye problem and it worked. I went to buy some at Whole Foods and they were out. Since number one and two are not working for me, I have gone deeper into my spiritual arsenal.
So, Three: I am asking myself, "What is it that my soul is urging me to see with the eyes of my spirit that I am resisting?" This came to me the other day when I left home driving and suddenly couldn't see out of my glasses very well. I stopped the car and asked myself this question. I asked it with an intention, willingness and expectation that the answer would be revealed to me and I would hear it! Immediately, my vision cleared up and I could see (with my glasses) to drive safely again. Same glasses. Nothing changed except my willingness to see from the spirit whatever God needs me to see.
I was not conscious of resisting my spiritual sight because I like to think that I am always listening and looking for God's direction. But this thing with these eyeglasses is making me think that I need to check my spiritual arrogance at the door and step up my game of obedience and willingness to see and hear using my spiritual faculties right along with my physical ones.
So, I am giving thanks for both my physical and spiritual vision along with a willingness, intention and expectation for the highest and greatest outcome with both! Join me in this experiment.
Using my eyes to see and my ears to hear,

Special to the Tri-State Defender
In January 1962, the Rev. Coleman Crawford Jr. was called to the pastorate of Grace Missionary Baptist Church.

On January 1, 2012, designated as Celebration Sunday, members of Grace M. B. Church honored Crawford for serving as the pastor of the church for 50 years.
During his New Year's Day morning message, Crawford chose the theme "Hitherto, the Lord hath helped us" from the book of I Samuel. Traveling down spiritual memory lane, he gave thanks to God as he spoke of his fifty years as pastor.
Crawford's pastoral works have included baptizing hundreds who professed faith in Jesus Christ, receiving those who came by letter and Christian experience, eulogizing numerous saints and a few unsaved, presiding over a countless number of weddings, consecrating scores of babies, counseling members and couples, preaching thousands of sermons on Sunday mornings and evenings, and conducting numerous revivals.
Grace M.B.C. is anchored in the Oates Manor division of North Memphis at 1203 N. Manassas St., it's fourth location. The current church building was constructed in 2004.
Following the morning worship service, members gathered at a reception at the church to unveil a banner depicting momentous occasions of Rev. Crawford as pastor and to share gifts of love. Among those present were members who have been with Crawford for the 50 years. They were Joy Rogers Stout, Dr. Inetta F. Rogers, Loverta Rogers Dorris, Sandra Jackson Edwards, Carl Jefferson, and the Rev. Charles Liggins. Two charter members that remain active are Oscar Jackson and Mary Jackson. Timothy C. O. Stout, CDM, served as chair of the reception.
Crawford's ministerial accomplishments are evident on the local, state and national levels.
On the local level, he has served as president of the Memphis Baptist Ministerial Association, moderator and dean of the Union Progressive District Association and Dean in Congresses.
On the state level, Crawford has served as state president of the North Mississippi Baptist Education Convention.
And on the national level, he is a member of National Baptist Convention Board of Directors. He said he has been blessed to impart knowledge by serving as an instructor in the local, state and national Congresses, the educational arm of the denomination.
Crawford maintains his commitment to support his alma mater, The LeMoyne-Owen College, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science.
His pastorate resume also includes having served 43 years as pastor of Fredonia Baptist Church in Coldwater, Miss. and eight months at Middle Baptist Church – Whitehaven.
A public celebration of Crawford's service is scheduled for April 28 at the Hilton Hotel on Ridgelake Blvd. at 5 p.m. For more information, including tickets, call the church at 901-527-9144. The Rev. Dr. Inetta F. Rogers is chair and the Rev. Mack Holloway is co-chair of the 50th Anniversary Committee.
Curiosity trumps fatigue in the quest for growth

Lucy Shaw
Dear Lucy: It is nearing the end of December already. It seems that so many people pass away during this time of year. Many of them are older people. It seems like they just decide that they don't want to do another year. Maybe they know something we don't know. So much is changing in the world and so fast. It's time for another year and I can't get excited about it. I'm not depressed, just not excited. Am I the only one tired?
Dear PK: I suppose that if I could ask the question just right, I could Google and find out if it's true that December is the big month for deaths of a certain age. So often I tend to be more aware of death or birth or birthdays or anything else simply because I am thinking about it and paying greater attention. In the last three weeks, I had a personal stake in three different deaths ranging from ten years old to ninety. As I focused on these deaths I began to pay attention to the whole subject of death and dying including the ending of one calendar year and the start of another. So I feel a little of what you are talking about.
This is the time of year when we ask many life-changing questions. There will be many essays written and sermons preached on this topic for the next month or so. The essence of growth is curiosity. Curiosity is our spiritual birthright. We are constantly asking who, where, why, when and what. The trick to success is asking the right question and having the wisdom to balance our search for the answer with the patience and ability to wait and be quiet so that we can hear the answer.
Sometimes we ask "why?" just to wallow in the "why." We don't really want the answer and if we had it we wouldn't use it or stop asking "why" long enough to learn the lesson contained in the why. Quite often the answer is looking back at us when we look in the mirror. I am the "who," the "why," the "when," "what" and "where." Sometimes I look so hard outside myself for answers that I forget how absolutely resourceful, wise and wonderful I really am. What seems like the fatigue of having to face another year could just be my curiosity getting the best of me.
How I wish I knew what the next year will bring! But, I don't. I can expect to see some people come and some go. I can expect some super days and some not so super. The big definite is that I can expect change. We live in a world of constant change...this is a fact. This change is tiring, invigorating, scary, encouraging, all at the same time depending on one's viewpoint. And what we do have control over is our viewpoint.
There was a jeweler in Memphis named Las Savalle who passed away this year. Each time someone he knew or someone well known in the city passed away, he would put their name on his store marquee in honor of their lives. No matter who it was or what they had done, he would simply create a headline that said, "Memphis is a better place because John Doe was here." I remember shortly after my husband's death, the shock and simultaneous comfort I felt when I passed the store and looking up read, "Memphis is better because Harold Shaw was here."
Las was a truly fine gentleman and what he knew was that we are all connected and we are all important. And this brings me to the question I want to ask of myself this year: "What am I willing to do this year to become better in ways that not only enrich me but also bless the rest of the world?"
What I do is important and makes a difference. I won't judge according to what anyone else thinks about me. I will judge according to what I know I can be. I can be the one who will be missed by the entire world simply because I lived and made a choice to make a difference by elevating my own mind, and spirit.
I make a choice to remember that what I think about myself as connected to every other person, place and thing in this world is an awesome responsibility. Everyone I reach out to touch with love may not choose to touch back. I don't control that. But I do control my willingness to keep on reaching, caring, giving, sharing and being curious. If that makes us tired sometimes, PK, we will just have to wait for the inevitable change!
Happy New Year!

Trusting in the 'One' treasure
- Details
- Written by Lucy Shaw
Shaw |
Dear Lucy: I was looking on line at the items at Christies Auctions that belonged to the actress Elizabeth Taylor. There are millions of dollars in jewelry. I don't know who will buy them or who will actually get the money for them. But the pieces are unbelievably beautiful and unbelievably expensive. How could someone spend that kind of money on jewelry?
Dear M.S.: I went online and took a look at what you are referring to. You are correct. The collection is awesome! One would have to have a mega-movie star status to even have an occasion to wear most of the pieces. Elizabeth Taylor was certainly a mega-movie star and much loved by her husband's and by her friend Michael Jackson.
There is a diamond watch in the collection valued at $500,000 given to her by Michael Jackson. It occurs to me that she must have been the very rare friend and spouse with the capacity to inspire a level of love and admiration that caused people to want to give her the gifts that caused her the greatest pleasure. This is quite an attribute for anyone to possess, so my hat is off to what this says about her capacity to inspire such giving in others.
Who buys such expensive jewelry? It's pretty simple…people who can afford it and value it intrinsically and extrinsically.
Beauty and value is in the eye of the beholder. Beyond any judgments about "why," I was reminded of the temporary nature of life. I am certain that at some point in time before her departure from planet Earth, Miss Taylor had cause to consider that she would not get to take any of her physical possessions with her. In fact, there will be an equally extravagant and dazzling auction of her clothing! It may be that this lady had the wisdom to enjoy all of her possessions in the moment and let them go. I have no idea what her capacity for philanthropy was, how she gave or to whom she gave in ways that are lasting.
So what can we take away from your question?
This week, I did a workshop for two groups titled, "What's In Your Treasure Chest?" Today, during seemingly tough economic times, many of us are convinced that our earthly "Treasure Chest" is dwindling or at the very least it is not growing. When most people are asked to select their most treasured life experiences for placement in a "Treasure Chest," they will tend to choose only the "good" or "nice" things as treasures.
Yet, it is the mix of ups and downs, good and bad, happy and sad that teaches us and grows us into wonderful, useful human beings capable of giving meaningful service to ourselves and the rest of the world. By God's sweet grace, I am certain that Miss Taylor had the opportunity to look into her "Treasure Chest" of life experiences and honor and cherish those that created permanent, enduring and endearing life lessons for her. I was so blessed by looking at that collection of hers that I was able to look into my own Treasure Chest in which I have stored rich memories of both hardships and joys that I am so very grateful for. Many of them cost me a lot of lost sleep, tears, some sorrow and a few cost me some money. But, what I received in return is absolutely priceless.
As it gets closer to year's end, do you know what's in your "Treasure Chest?" While there are many scriptures to choose from about treasures, here is one of my favorites: "Some trust in horses and some in chariots, but we will remember the name of the Lord our God…" How often have I called upon that name when nothing else would do!
Trusting in the "One" treasure, for you and for me,

LifeWay funnels 1,273 Bibles to inner city youth

Special to the Tri-State Defender
Memphis Athletic Ministries (MAM) needed Bibles – 800 to be exact – for each of the 800 inner city youth participating in small group Bible studies at the ministry's 15 neighborhood youth centers.

And Ralph Owen, LifeWay Christian Store manager, needed a ministry to support for a New Living Translation (NLT) Bible promotion at the LifeWay store located at 7720 Polo Grounds Blvd. off Winchester Rd.
"I moved here in August from Dallas, so I was not familiar with local faith-based youth organizations and I had an in-store promotion coming up for the month of September," said Owen. "When I googled 'Memphis Ministries' and Memphis Athletic Ministries popped up, I knew that I had indeed found the perfect match."
At MAM, there always is a need for Bibles that the kids can call their own, James Armfield, MAM president and chief executive officer.
"Before this year's after school programs started, we discussed in staff meeting how great it would be if each child had his own Bible, but the prospect of coming up with 800 Bibles seemed like such a large undertaking. So we were more than overjoyed when Ralph called to see if we could use Bibles," said Armfield.
LifeWay asked its customers to purchase the regularly priced $19.99 Bible for $5.00 and donate a Bible to MAM. The response from customers was overwhelmingly positive, causing LifeWay management to continue the promotion through the end of October. A total of 1,273 Bibles were purchased.
The Bibles donated to MAM were a compact pocket NLT (New Living Translation) Bible that is very popular with kids of all ages. The language is easy to understand, the Bibles come in a variety of fun colors, and the small size makes it easy for youth to carry in backpacks, purses and pockets.
Daryl Braden, MAM neighborhood director for the MAM New Hope Center, said the are really enjoying having their own Bibles.
"They have been more diligent in remembering to bring their Bibles everyday and are taking notes, marking Scripture and paying closer attention to what they are being taught," said Braden.
"It is pretty cool to have my own Bible. I like the bright color and I like to carry it with me in my backpack," said Tamara Morton, age 11, a fifth- grader at Grandview Elementary.
"This promotion has been a perfect match for everyone. LifeWay is a not for profit company that makes significant contributions to Christian missions and ministries. Giving Bibles to MAM not only increased sales, but also gave our customers an opportunity to give to the poor in our community," said Owen.
"And from a personal standpoint, I grew up playing sports and heard the Gospel for the first time while playing football, so the premise of combining sports with youth ministry greatly appeals to me."
So much appeal that Owen and the staff at LifeWay have already committed to sponsoring Bibles for MAM again next September.
Is the 'Church' obsolete? Scandals fuel questions
- Details
- Written by Tony Jones
Reports of a fight this past Sunday at New Salem Baptist Church between the wife and alleged mistress of New Salem's pastor, Frank E. Ray, are circulating widely, landing in at least one Bible study session on Wednesday night.
The incident at New Salem unfolded the day after news surfaced that Atlanta-based mega church pastor Bishop Eddie Long would be taking an immediate sabbatical from the pulpit. Long's sabbatical and his now estranged wife's move for a divorce stem from highly publicized lawsuits accusing Long of sexually abusing young men under his guidance. After vociferously denying the charges, Long has settled out of court.
For some, the two church-related incidents, along with several other recent church-associated happenings, apparently is enough to wonder whether something is amiss with the so-called modern-day church.
At Bloomfield Full Gospel Baptist Church on Wednesday night, the scandals seeped into Bible class, where the pastor, the Rev. Ralph White, was leading a discussion about how such incidents affect those who desire – and need – to maintain a faith in their church, and in the idea of church as a whole.
"We've heard about it all, but I'm telling you it's about more than just what this man has done. The man may have a problem, but it hurts us all as a church body because it hurts our brothers and sisters in that church. It is not our job and we cannot justify what people do, but we have to pray for them to overcome their problems," said White in his lecture.
"It is not our job to wrestle against flesh and blood. Pray for Eddie Long. Pray for Frank Ray. New Salem is on the same street we are on and they are our family in Christ and they are in pain. Pray that they overcome it. The enemy is after them and men like them because of what they manifest in the body of the church."
The New Tri-State Defender's effort to contact Ray for comment had not borne fruit by press time Wednesday night. Among his most persistent critics is talk show host Thaddeus Matthews, apparently the first to give the incident at New Salem a media airing. It was another in Matthews' highly reactive "Pimps In The Pulpit" series.
The New Salem story was just breaking on Channel 5 when the TSD caught up with Matthews on Wednesday evening.
Tri-State Defender: Why are you persecuting Rev. Ray?
Thaddeus Matthews: I'm not persecuting him. He had a fight in his church involving his wife and several other women. And it all comes from the facts in the police report. You have a physical fight in a church involving the pastor's wife, that is a news story. It's an indication of what goes on in that church….
Look, now Channel 5 is reporting it, and Channel 3 has done a piece on it. The mainstream news does this all the time, but they never credit me. I'm the one who broke the story and I should get the credit, but it doesn't bother me. The people know it's my story.
TSD: "The Pimp in the Pulpit" series has been highly popular, but is it fair to judge other men's motives?
T. Matthews: My thing is why is there such a contrast in how some of these church pastors are living, the way their congregations are living, and the resources they are taking out of black our communities, with pennies out of black folks pockets....We have a million dollars being collected in these churches every Sunday morning, why isn't it being applied in the black community on Monday mornings? And it's getting worse. The only loans you can get from a bank are to build a church, and that money goes to white contractors.
TSD: You've often spoken on the air about yourself being a minister, but how do you justify your own contrast? Especially with some of the raunchy sex shows?
T. Matthews: I have been preaching since I was 15, and have been a pastor, but I don't do it anymore. But the difference is that I'm not hypocritical. I'm not trying to hide behind a façade. I say that I'm unrighteous. I say that I am an unfinished work, a building that God is still working on….
Maybe if you talked more about sex in your church, we wouldn't be having so many kids being born out of wedlock. I'm just real and a lot of people don't like it. And I'm going to keep on exposing these shyster preachers. What they're doing is wrong….
TSD: But are you giving enough credit to ministers who are actually trying to do a good job of leading their churches?
T. Matthews: (Laughs) If I'm not roasting you on the show, you must be doing something right! But I'm watching. And remember, I get my information straight from the people. Is the church obsolete? That's the question. Can you get more from God at home than you are getting from these greedy pastors on Sunday morning? Wake up people, that's all I'm saying….
Meanwhile, at Bloomfield Baptist's Bible study, the Rev. White stressed that, "Our belief is based on the Christian principle that God sent his only son to save sinners, so we have to love the sinner. It's a hard pill to swallow, but we must. And we have to pray for ourselves. None of us are perfect….Think about what you had to overcome with the help of the church.
"When these things happen, the church is where you find the strength to change," said White. "That is what is damaged when people concentrate on the shortcomings of men, but God never fails. We may fail him, but he loves us!"
Then White made a discussion-broadening turn.
"We know about Frank Ray, we know about Eddie Long, but what about the sin we see on Wall Street? And in corporate America? We all know backstabbers who will use whatever cutthroat means they can to advance on a job. Wanting possessions and positions at all costs is just as bad as any of the things we hear about today, except when it involves our children," he said.
"When we see the struggles of the world today, it is very easy to understand that Satan is in control of the world economic system. As Christians we must remember that it is OK with being rich, it is Ok to want a nice car, fine clothes and a big house. As long as you don't let them have you."

This page describes the a range of incentives offered in the European Union (EU) for medicines that have been granted an orphan designation by the European Commission.
Protocol assistance
The Agency provides a form of scientific advice specifically for orphan medicines called protocol assistance. This allows sponsors to get answers to their questions on the types of studies needed to demonstrate the medicine's quality, benefits and risks, and information on the significant benefit of the medicine.
Update: Protocol assistance is available at a reduced charge for designated orphan medicines, linked to a fee-reduction scale that depends on the status of the sponsor. There is no restriction on the number of times a sponsor can request protocol assistance.
For more information, see:
- Scientific advice and protocol assistance
- European Medicines Agency guidance for companies requesting scientific advice and protocol assistance
The Agency encourages sponsors to consider coordinating the timing of protocol assistance from the Agency with request for scientific advice from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Parallel scientific advice with the FDA is available:
A scientific advice service is also available at the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA).
Access to the centralised authorisation procedure
All designated orphan medicines are assessed for marketing authorisation centrally in the European Union. This allows companies to make a single application to the European Medicines Agency, resulting in a single opinion and a single decision from the European Commission, valid in all EU Member States.
- For more information, see central authorisation of medicines.
Ten years of market exclusivity
Authorised orphan medicines benefit from ten years of protection from market competition with similar medicines with similar indications once they are approved. This period of protection is extended by two years for medicines that also have complied with an agreed paediatric investigation plan.
- For more information, see marketing authorisation and market exclusivity.
Additional incentives for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
Companies classified as SMEs benefit from further incentives when developing medicines with orphan designation. These include administrative and procedural assistance from the Agency's SME office and fee reductions.
- For more information, see SME office.
Fee reductions
Companies applying for designated orphan medicines pay reduced fees for regulatory activities. This includes reduced fees for protocol assistance, marketing-authorisation applications, inspections before authorisation and applications for changes to marketing authorisations made after approval, and reduced annual fees.
Fee reductions are revised each year in relation to the budget available.
The Agency does not offer research grants for sponsors of orphan medicines, but funding is available from the European Commission and other sources:
- Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technology
- International Rare Diseases Consortium (IRDIRC)
Grants are also available for sponsors considering research in the United States or Japan:
- United States: Food and Drug Administration: Orphan products grants program
- Japan: National Institute of Biomedical Innovation: Services to promote development of medicinal products for rare diseases
Incentives in Member States
Incentives are available for designated orphan medicines in EU Member States:
For more information, contact the medicines regulatory authority in your country:

Located in: Tempe, AZ & Lago Vista, TX
Submitted: November 12, 2008
Tell us a little about yourself. My mother and I make a fantastic team! With our love for God and my mothers talent with food, we have developed over 100 Daniel Fast recipes that are delicious and easy to prepare! Our desire is to help people seek God and provide a tool that will help people successful complete a Daniel Fast. I (Grace Bass) am the mother of four children and wife of Rev. Patrick Bass, Senior Pastor of New Life Church of Tempe in Arizona. I was born and raised in south and central Texas. I am also currently enrolled at Western Governors University as a full time student and homeschool two of our children. My Mother (Lynda Anderson) wife of Lyle Anderson was born and raised in Lake Park, Iowa. For 15 years, she was the Founder and CEO of Des Laurier Perfumes, Inc. While enjoying retirement, she enjoys cooking and serving her community in Lago Vista, Texas. She is widely regarded as a gourmet chef, creating delicious and compelling dishes for the community, her friends and of course, her family.
What was your motivation behind this project? Many years ago, I was introduced to the Daniel Fast. I searched for recipes to help me feed my family and came back lacking. Many of my friends expressed the same frustration; some were unable to complete the fast simply because they didnt know what to eat. Our society has become dependent on fast convenient food; the concept of creating a meal using only vegetables, fruits and whole grains is foreign to most of us! My mom is a gourmet chef, so I asked her for help. She has a unique talent with spices and seems to just know what a dish needs! Our motivation for creating this cookbook comes from our heart, we genuinely want to help people successfully complete their fasts by giving them delicious and easy to prepare recipes.
What do you hope folks will gain from this project? We hope to enable people to seek God through prayer and fasting with this cookbook. We included a thorough explanation of the Daniel Fast from a biblical perspective. As well as, practical tips on nutrition, eating out, Daniel Fast friendly products and short cuts. Our desire is for people to focus on God and use the Daniel Fast to draw closer to Him. We have included articles such as: Its not all about the food: Seeking God and taking out the trash. Many of the recipes include a family friendly suggestion for members of your family that are not on the Daniel fast. We found many individuals who grew tired of cooking for themselves and then preparing another meal for their spouse or children. Using the family friendly suggestions eliminates that frustration, thus helping more people complete their fast.
How were you personally impacted by working on this project? We personally developed and ate all the recipes in the cookbook. Many of the recipes had to be made several times over to make adjustments and changes to the recipe. Therefore, we predominately ate Daniel Fast food for the duration of the project. I couldnt believe how much better I felt. I had more energy and mental clarity. I also lost a few extra pounds. After this experience, I made many permanent changes to my diet. My mother, Lynda, feels many of her inspirations for the recipes came from God. She told me of a time she was a little frustrated and didnt know what to do with the ingredients in front of her. As she stood there looking at all the vegetables, she felt the Lord and started putting a dish together. It was marvelous!! The end result was the Orange Broccoli Stir Fry!!
Who are your influences, sources of inspiration or favorite authors / artists? Rev. Elmer L Towns, Co-Founder of Liberty University & Dean, School of Religion in Lynchburg, Virginia, has authored over 50 books. One of which brought the Daniel Fast to the attention of many Christians world- wide: Fasting for Spiritual Breakthroughs. I am very thankful to him for endorsing our cookbook: "I believe in Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough, this is a discipline that God has given to the church for renewal, revival, and worship of the Lord. I am so glad that Grace Bass and Lynda Anderson have written this cookbook on The Daniel Fast. I pray that God will use it in the lives of many people." Elmer L. Towns Co-Founder, Liberty University Dean, School of Religion Lynchburg, Virginia
Anything else you'd like readers / listeners to know: Here are what others are saying about The Daniel's Fast Cookbook: *****Hallelujah!! The First Daniel Fast Cookbook, February 9, 2008 By MICHAEL FARHO "Mike" (Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire) We've been searching for this cookbook since 2003. What encourages us most about Grace and Lynda's Daniel's Fast Cookbook is that it is endorsed by Elmer Towns, who created the Daniel Fast for Spiritual Breakthrough in his book Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough. *****Heart Healthy That Tastes Good Too !, By David A. Butler "Dr. David A. Butler" (Cedar Park, TX) There has never been a cookbook like the Daniel's Fast Cookbook! If you are a vegan, or just want to have a heart healthy diet, then this is the cookbook for you. I have personally sampled many of these recipes and they are quite delicious and easy to prepare. I highly recommend this cookbook for anyone wanting to explore a healthier lifestyle. Having high blood pressure and heart problems myself, my wife has struggled with having to make substitutions in traditional recipes. With the Daniel's Fast Cookbook, she can follow the recipes exactly and know that she is preparing "Heart Healthy" dishes. Thank you Lynda Anderson and Grace Bass.

Behrens & Appel on Medical Monitoring in NLJ
Recently the New York Court of Appeals rejected medical monitoring. Behrens and Appel approve:
The New York Court of Appeals reached the right conclusion. For over 200 years, one of the fundamental principles of tort law has been that a plaintiff cannot recover without proof of a physical injury. This bright-line rule may seem harsh in some cases, but it is the best filter courts have developed to prevent a flood of claims, provide faster access to courts for those with reliable and serious claims, and ensure that the sick will not have to compete with the nonsick for compensation.
The full op-ed (behind a pay wall) is here.

VA: Facebook "Likes" Admissible, But Defamation Punies Award Cut
In a federal case in Virginia, the number of"likes" an allegedly defamatory Facebook page received was admissible, but a punitive damages award was reduced. Peter Vieth of Virginia Lawyers Weekly has the story:
A federal judge says a dog trainer who claimed he was defamed by online accusations of animal abuse was entitled to tell a jury how many people "liked" the offending Facebook page, a federal judge has ruled.
Nevertheless, U.S. District Judge James Cacheris said the jury's "grossly excessive" $60,000 punitive damages verdict in favor of the dog trainer should be cut by three quarters. Cacheris says the defendant can either accept the reduction of punitives to $15,000 or take a new trial.
The full story is here.

Judge Awards $65k Damages for Loss of Pet
A Colorado judge has awarded $65,000 for the negligent death of the plaintiff's 18-month old dog. A cleaning service mistakenly let the dog out, where she was hit by a car. The dog crawled back into the house, and the cleaning service left the dying dog - knowing it had been hit - under the dining room table, where the owner found her dead upon returning 2 hours later.
Colorado News9 and Channel 7 have more.

Sharkey on Economic Analysis of Punitive Damages
Cathy Sharkey (NYU) has posted to SSRN Economic Analysis of Punitive Damages: Theory, Empirics, and Doctrine. The abstract provides:
This chapter — to be included in Research Handbook on the Economics of Torts (Arlen ed., Kluwer, forthcoming 2012) — assesses economic rationales for punitive damages in light of contemporary empirics and doctrine. The primary economic rationale for supra-compensatory damages is optimal deterrence (or loss internalization): when compensatory damages alone will not induce an actor to take cost-justified safety precautions, then supra-compensatory damages are necessary to force the actor to internalize the full scope of the harms caused by his actions. Alternative economic rationales — disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and enforcement of property rights — have been proposed to align the theory with the historical and conventional focus of punitive damages on intentionally wrongful behavior.
Notwithstanding its academic prominence, the economic deterrence rationale has not dominated doctrine. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court has all but rejected economic deterrence, by instead placing increasing emphasis on a competing retributive punishment rationale. But, since punitive damages lie squarely within the purview of state law, state legislatures and courts possess a degree of freedom to articulate state-based goals of punitive damages — such as economic deterrence — even in the face of heavy-handed federal constitutional review imposed by the U.S. Supreme Court.

WV Nursing Home Verdict: $91.5M
An 87-year-old woman died shortly after entering a Charleston, WV nursing home. The nursing home has been hit with a $91.5 million jury verdict. At least 2 issues may be taken up on appeal. First, WV has a med mal cap that limits recovery of non-economic damages to $500,000. The jury found that only a small part of the negligence was "medical." Instead, the largest part of the negligence was the failure to provide basic necessities such as food and water. Second, in an attempt to earn punies, the plaintiff's lawyer informed the jury that the nursing home's parent corporation earned $4 billion last year. However, that figure was gross earnings; the parent corporation's taxable income last year was $75 million. WVGazette.com has the details.

Dead Men Can't Be Sued for Punitive Damages
The Iowa Supreme Court has reaffirmed its long standing rule (dating back to 1884) prohibiting punitive damages claims against deceased individuals. The court reasoned that awarding punitive damages against an estate does not serve the purposes of punitive damages, which the court identified as (1) punishment, (2) specific deterrence, and (3) general deterrence. Iowa's decision follows the majority rule on this issue. (The opinion helpfully includes footnotes and citations discussing the majority/minority breakdown).
A copy of the court's opinion is here. The Des Moines Register has full coverage.

Wikibooks Cookbook has a recipe/module on |
Ossobuco (pronounced [ˌɔsːoˈbuːko]) is a Milanese specialty of cross-cut veal shanks braised with vegetables, white wine and broth. It is often garnished with gremolata and traditionally served with risotto alla milanese.
There are two types of ossobuco: a modern version that has tomatoes and the original version which does not. The older version, ossobuco in bianco, is flavored with cinnamon, bay leaf and gremolata. The modern and more popular recipe includes tomatoes, carrots, celery and onions. Gremolata is optional.
Ossobuco or osso buco is Italian for "bone with a hole" (osso bone, buco hole), a reference to the marrow hole at the center of the cross-cut veal shank. In the local Western Lombard Milanese dialect, this dish's name is oss bus.[1][2]
Ossobuco was first attested in the late 19th century. It may have been a farmhouse dish or perhaps was an invention of an osteria, a neighborhood restaurant of Milan.[3]
This dish's primary ingredient, veal shank, is common, relatively cheap and flavorful. Although tough, braising makes it tender. The cut traditionally used for this dish comes from the top of the thigh which has a higher proportion of bone to meat than other meaty cuts of beef.[4] The shank is then cross-cut into sections about 3 cm thick.[5]
Although recipes vary, most start by browning the veal shanks in butter after dredging them in flour, while others recommend vegetable oil or lard.[6] The braising liquid is usually a combination of white wine and meat broth flavored with vegetables.[7][8]
Risotto alla milanese is the traditional accompaniment to ossobuco in bianco, making for a one-dish meal.[5] Ossobuco (especially the tomato-based version) is also eaten with polenta or mashed potatoes.[3] Outside Milan, it is sometimes served with pasta.[6]

When to Seek Medical CareMany symptoms present gradually after years of poorly blood pressure control. Many times, the first knowledge of hypertension occurs when a patient complains of chest pain or has stroke-like symptoms. Should these occur, it is appropriate to call 911 immediately (if available) to activate emergency medical services and seek care. You may be directed to seek medical care if blood pressure readings are elevated if done as part of a community health screening. Isolated elevated blood pressure readings do not necessarily make the diagnosis of hypertension. Blood pressure readings vary throughout the day, and your primary care provider may record a different reading than the one that was measured in a screening that sent you in for care. There are non-specific symptoms associated with hypertension that may cause a person to seek care, including lightheadedness, dizziness, headache with or without nausea, change in vision, or lethargy and fatigue. There are many other reasons to develop these symptoms other than high blood pressure. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to High Blood Pressure

Klassik, an up and coming artist out of Milwaukee, is a breath of fresh air for everyone from hip hop heads to jazz enthusiasts to Rock N' Roll fans. Klassik has already rooted himself within the Milwaukee music scene with his unique ability to produce innovative tracks with catchy meaningful lyrics. With several jazz festivals across Europe under his belt, not to mention self-taught piano skills, and a keen ear for rich and new sounds, Klassik already boasts a distinguished performance resume. He has shared the stage with the likes of Asher Roth, The Cool Kids, Rhymefest, Lupe Fiasco, Cranberry Show, and Prophetic, while also hosting several performances as a headliner.
Klassik was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He grew up playing alto saxophone and is influenced by a variety of different artists and genres. Throughout his youth, he was tutored by local legend Berkely Fudge on the alto saxophone and piano. Klassik's classicly trained ears and jazz improvisation skills transferred easily when he began to produce his own music at the age of 14.
Fast forward to the present and Klassik's music has evolved into an eclectic form of hip hop, rhythm and blues, and jazz. Some of his major influences include Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Kanye West, and Steely Dan. His music continues to impress all willing listeners as Klassik distinguishes himself by writing and producing all of his original material without sampling.
"Enemy/Inner Me" is a great track! It is about a man who is basically his own worst enemy. Surely, this is something we can all relate to! His voice is very similar to Kanye West, but, his lyrics are much cleaner. From what I gather, it seems like he focuses more on the beat of the music than the lyrics alone. "MoonRock" is a track that anyone could dance to but, it isn't a ridiculous track that you would hear at a second-rate club. I really enjoyed his album in general.
This is very good! However, it's very different from the "Dirty South" hip-hop that I grew up. In my opinion, it's a freshness that's long overdue.
