BreakPoint Features
God and Science Do Mix The Creator's Interference in CreationBy: Tom Gilson|Published: August 21, 2009 1:56 PM Topics: Apologetics, Health & Science In a Wall Street Journal opinion piece that is replete with unintended irony, cosmologist Lawrence Krauss says, "Science and God Don't Mix." His message centers on this quote from geneticist J.B.S. Haldane (1892-1964): As it relates to biblical religion, Krauss's point could be paraphrased, "Christianity is all about miracles and other such interfering-God nonsense. Science could never make sense under conditions like that." He is right to a certain extent—science depends on nature generally behaving itself. But he is wrong to think this is incompatible with Christianity. It is, in fact, essential to the Christian faith, for several reasons. Ironically, as a scientist, Krauss ought to recognize the first reason, for it is one that can be explained more readily in scientific terms than theological. Perhaps he may not know enough about God and His purposes to see it clearly. The God of the Bible seeks relationship with the humans he created, which requires communication. A central concept in scientific communication theory is signal-to-noise ratio. Simply stated, if there's too much chaos ("noise") in a transmission, the message or "signal" can't get through to be understood. If God kept arbitrarily interfering in nature as Haldane and Krauss imagine, we could never distinguish His message, the signal, from the noise of nature's irregularities. To reveal Himself to humans—to communicate—He must break into nature sometimes, but He must do so rarely. There must be an ordinary course of events, so that we can discern what is out of the ordinary. If miracles happened everywhere every day, they would not be miracles at all. They would communicate nothing, and thus they would not serve God's relational purposes. Further, God intended for humans to be responsible moral agents, for which we must be able to judge in advance the likely results of our actions. That would be quite impossible in a world of constant chaotic supernatural intervention. Suppose that on a few random days every decade, every vegetable were poison. Could we be held accountable for poisoning our children on one of those days? If we could not predict the results of our actions, we could hardly be responsible for them. This, too, would not serve God's purposes. God intends also that humans be able to learn from experience—that if we drop a seed, it will fall; that if we cultivate it properly, it will grow; that if we eat good things, we will thrive; that if we eat poisons, we will get sick or die. This ties in with God's intention that we be responsible moral agents. We need to learn that if we feed another person good foods, that will be good for them; but if we give them poison, they will quite predictably get sick or die. Again, chaos of the sort Krauss envisions would clearly work against God's purposes. With that in mind, the irony deepens. For what is science but systematized learning from experience? God made the world friendly for science, not for the sake of science alone, but to accomplish the whole scope of His purposes for us. Krauss, following Haldane, says science could never move forward if spirits animated all of nature (a view typically called animism). Our next irony is this: Christians couldn't agree with him more. The late Catholic physicist and philosopher of science Stanley Jaki said, "If science was to be born, nature had to be de-animized"; and, as Richard Dales explains, Christianity led the way in accomplishing that de-animization: Judeo-Christianity's view of creation is unique among the world's religions and philosophies. One large group of creation stories has the world beginning with an eternal dualism of mind (or spirit) and matter. The mind battles to contain and restrain unruly matter, with only partial success. Plato's view was much like that. Another large group considers matter to be a kind of emanation from spirit, so that matter is actually spirit in another manifestation, sometimes even an illusory one. The first view leads to no confidence in the world's rationality, since mind's mastery over creation is weak. The second is the picture of animized nature. A third version or origins, that of modern secular science, removes mind from origins completely. What early natural philosopher, looking at nature as such an essentially mindless thing and never having seen science succeeding, would have thought to look for a rational order in nature? Only in the first chapters of Genesis do we have an account of a creation that is fully ruled by its Creator's mind, yet remains separate from it: rationally ordered, but not animized. It's ironic, isn't it, that this all-important basis on which science was planted comes from the same biblical passage that scientists today love so much to scorn? We can continue to speak of even more ironies. One primary intellectual home for these 12th century Latin Europeans was a site that, in the words of historian Thomas Goldstein, "seems the very embodiment of Medieval faith"—the Cathedral School of Chartres, of all places. Goldstein adds, History shows that biblical thinking has been more than agreeable to the well-behaved, de-animized view of nature that Krauss considers so crucial to science. God's desire to relate with a world of humans, to give us the power of moral agency and the ability to learn, and to make His occasional interventions meaningful, leads Him to let His creation run its ordinary course in ordinary times. Scholars and students at a Catholic cathedral school figured that out more than 800 years ago. God and science do mix.

Voodoo Fast Facts
Founder: No single founder; voodoo is a blend of African animism, spiritism, and indigenous religion
Founded: No determinative date
Major schools: West African Voodoo, Louisiana Voodoo (also known as New Orleans Voodoo), Haitian Voodoo
Other names: vodou, vodun, vodoun, vudun
Location: West Africa, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and America, especially in Louisiana
What is Voodoo?
Voodoo is a fusion of religious practices from Africa that often takes on different characteristics and emphases when practiced in other locations:
- West African voodoo has been less influenced than other forms of voodoo because it is practiced in the place of its origination, yet Christianity's influence, particularly Roman Catholicism, is significant
- Louisiana voodoo has been heavily influenced by French, Spanish, and Creole populations that lived in Louisiana; it has also been influenced by Christianity, especially Roman Catholicism
- Haitian voodoo was been heavily influenced by African slaves from France; it has also been influenced by Christianity, especially Roman Catholicism
The different schools of voodoo have similarities and differences. For example, some practitioners of voodoo use "Gris-gris," which are religious amulets believed to ward off evil spirits. Other schools of voodoo have "voodoo queens," which are female leaders that oversee various religious activities in their community. Also, some schools of voodoo emphasize objects such as voodoo dolls (see more below) more than others. Furthermore, the belief, and interaction with, particular deities as well as particular lesser spirits, is often determined by voodoo school and location.
Voodoo Beliefs
Voodoo beliefs can vary depending on the school and location.
Many practitioners of voodoo in West Africa believe in a supreme being, although among many followers the belief has been syncretized with Roman Catholicism so that their chief god is associated with the God of the Bible. Other schools of voodoo may not recognize a supreme being or associate the being with the Christian God.
All schools of voodoo believe in, and interact with, lesser spirits, as a key practice of their religion. These spirits are often called "loa" or "miste." There are numerous "families" of spirits and named individual spirits, which practitioners interact with, which vary depending on school and location.
Where voodoo has been heavily syncretized with Christianity the "loa" may be known by the names of Catholic saints.
In some voodoo communities, voodoo priests and priestesses play a special role as intermediaries who summon spirits and perform acts of sorcery.
Voodoo Dolls
Voodoo dolls are mostly associated with a form of African folk magic called "Hoodoo," which is a mixture of animism, spiritism, and a combination of other religious beliefs and practices originating in Africa.
In Hoodoo dolls have traditionally been made to represent an individual who the practitioner is attempting to put a spell or curse upon during a religious ceremony.
Voodoo dolls can be made from corn shafts, potatoes, clay, branches and roots or clothes stuffed with plant life.
Although the dolls are called "voodoo" dolls, not all practitioners of the major schools of voodoo use them.
Fictional movies and books often mischaracterize their use.
Voodoo Today
The voodoo religion today is influenced by its cultural context and influences its cultural context.
As already stated, in West Africa, practitioners of voodoo experience a heavily syncretized version of the religion with Christianity.
Louisiana voodoo has experienced syncretism with Christianity and it has also experienced the effects of American consumer culture. Tourists to the New Orleans area in particular show interest in the religion by buying voodoo paraphernalia for fun or decoration as opposed to sacred use.
In relation to Haitian voodoo, it too influences its surroundings whether it be in Haiti or surrounding nations, including America, and is influenced by its surroundings as it experiences various forms of syncretism.

Ja Rule, who recently spent nearly two years behind bars for illegal gun possession, landed a role in a new movie because screenwriter Galley Molina empathized with the rapper's missteps.
"People used to ask, 'Well, you know he's a felon?' And I would say, 'Well, so am I,'" recalled Molina, a 44-year-old pastor who was locked up for five years for drug trafficking.
"I know his heart. I know what type of dude he is and he was probably one of the most professional guys on the set."
I'm in Love With a Church Girl will debut Friday in South Florida. Ja Rule stars as a high-level drug dealer who struggles to leave his illegal lifestyle behind after getting into a serious relationship with a church-going woman played by Adrienne Bailon of Cheetah Girls and 3LW fame. Stephen Baldwin, Sopranos actor Vincent Pastore and Michael Madsen also appear in the movie.
The film was produced by Molina and Grammy-winning Christian singer Israel Houghton and is based on Molina's life. Ja Rule was hired while his gun possession cases were pending. He was released from house arrest in July after he had served most of a two-year sentence in a New York state prison before his subsequent transfer into federal custody in a tax evasion case. He admitted to failing to pay taxes on more than $3 million earned between 2004 and 2006.
"This role was very different for me," said Ja Rule, whose film credits include The Fast and the Furious. "I've done a lot of films that all have been pretty edgy. I played thug characters, but with this character, even though I play a thug somewhat, he's really a guy going through a transition."
The 37-year-old Ja Rule, born Jeffrey Atkins, said he put on 30 pounds in jail and read a number of books. He also earned his GED and said ex-New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi and ex-Tyco International CEO Dennis Kozlowski urged him to pursue higher education.
"It's really minimum – all of the fame, the movies and the music. When you're behind that wall, all that becomes very minimum," said Ja Rule, who burst on the music scene in 1999 and released back-to-back multiplatinum and platinum albums. "I was more focused on getting my mind right, getting my body right, more thinking about my family. Those are the things you cherish."
Ja Rule became known for hip-hop jams that became Top 40 successes, including No. 1 hits with Jennifer Lopez and Ashanti. He earned a number of awards, including four Grammy nominations. He said he's still excited about recording, but he wants to focus on TV and film.
"I love music, it's my passion," said Ja Rule, who independently released Pain Is Love 2 during his incarceration last year but put up subpar numbers. "This is my second wind right now, and I'm happy to be home, but I think as I'm getting older, my passion is leaning toward doing more television and film. Music is my heart, but I see television and more movies in the next stage of my life."

PNC Survey Shows Weak Business Optimism
A PNC survey shows small to mid-sized business owners across the state are less optimistic about doing business than they were six months ago. The PNC Economic Outlook survey shows 8 percent of business owners intend to add full-time employees. Nationwide, it's 16 pecent.
PNC Economist Mekael Teshome says North Carolina business owners continue to report weak sales and are being extremely cautious.
"There have been a lot of policy changes at the state level in North Carolina. There have been a lot of policy changes and big question marks at the national level and even at the global level, for the businesses that are international players. And so, when you combine those three things, it creates a cloud of uncertainty," said Teshome.
Teshome says out of the 151 business owners surveyed across the state, 8% said they would likely take out a new loan in the next six months. That's down from 15 percent in the spring, and 17 percent of business owners said they would reduce hiring because of the Affordable Care Act.

Mahesh as an energetic angry young man once again proved his mettle with daring and dashing director Puri Jagan to deliver an ultimate crime-action thriller BUSINESSMAN.The quality of the disc was very good and thanks to flipkart for that...
Throughout the movie u will be carry out with an aggressive emotion and intention of mahesh to conquer his goal to rule Mumbai and avenge his parents murder.With his furious looks and striking one-liners MaheshBabu completely involves into the character of SuryaBhai.All the other aspects of fights, taking and terrific Background Music and Songs by Thaman need not be mentioned separately. This film surely elevates a new look in Prince Mahesh with his mesmerizing action!!
Standing & acting before a camera which is focused & zoomed only on you for 2 & half hours is the toughest job even for a good actor.Hence,you will come to know the difference b/w a normal actor and a star.I bet you cant find a single mistake in the expressions of Mahesh.Dialogues,Direction,Music..Every corner is filled.
If Pokiri is the Best movie what Puri and Mahesh can give, then consider Business Man is the just the opposite. I know Pokiri can't be made all the time but Business Man went bankrupt...
The only thing worth the money buying this DVD will be for Sir Osthara Song. Suchitra has sung superbly.

Flint's Infernape
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
Flint's Infernape | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||||||||||
Flint's Infernape (Japanese: オーバのゴウカザル Ōba's Goukazaru) is the only known Pokémon owned by Flint in the anime. It is also one of the Pokémon he uses in the games, being his main one in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.
In the anime
Flint first obtained this Infernape when it was a Chimchar during his childhood. It took on two Trainers who sent out Stunky and Jolteon, where it managed to defeat them. Before long, Flint and Chimchar were known as the strongest Trainers in all of Sunyshore, winning battle after battle on their way to the top. When Flint first met Volkner, Chimchar then battled his Pikachu and won. During the rematch, it lost, causing a friendly-rivalry between Flint and Volkner. The two Trainers encounter the proprietor and his Houndoom. Chimchar and Flint get knocked by the blast coming from Houndoom, leaving Volkner to continue on his own.
After that, Chimchar had many battles with Volkner's Pikachu until Flint left the city. Flint trained with Chimchar on his way to becoming a member of the Sinnoh Elite Four, battling various opponents and it evolved into Monferno. Sometime after that, Flint registered his Monferno in the Pokémon League where it was sent out to battle a Trainer's Snorlax. Monferno began with Flamethrower and Snorlax used Whirlwind. Both moves canceled each other out. Monferno then used Mach Punch which Snorlax absorbed easily. Afterwards, Snorlax used Body Slam which successfully made contact with Monferno. However, the rest of the battle wasn't shown. Between the league and growing up, Monferno managed to evolve into an Infernape.
Infernape made its first non-flashback appearance where it saved Ash from Volkner's machines when it grabbed Ash as he refused to take the free Badge as Volkner was giving them out for free due to his loss in passion of battling. Later, it was sent out to battle Ash. It took on his Buizel as its first opponent. Buizel started with Aqua Jet in which Infernape dodged. Infernape used its fists to block Buizel's attack when he used Ice Punch, getting them frozen in the process. When Buizel used SonicBoom, Infernape negated the attack using the ice on its fist. Infernape won when it clashed with Buizel's Aqua Jet using Flare Blitz despite the type-disadvantage. Infernape next opponent was none other than Infernape. Ash's Infernape started things off with Flame Wheel which Flint's evades. Both Infernape fought extremely hard but in the end, Flint's emerged victorious. Infernape's last opponent was Pikachu. Unlike the last two, Pikachu was a tough opponent. During the battle, it sparked a flashback of the time Volkner battled with his Pikachu. After a long battle, Infernape managed to defeat Pikachu, winning the battle for Flint.
In Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!, Infernape came to the rescue when Team Rocket robbed Kenny's Floatzel. Infernape stopped them by using Overheat and sent them blasting off. Afterwards, it had a battle with Jasmine's Steelix. Due to the type-advantage, Infernape managed to defeat Steelix.
Infernape also appeared alongside Flint during the credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions.
In Memories are Made of Bliss! Infernape was seen battling against Cynthia's Garchomp on TV. Despite a very harsh battle, Infernape could not beat Garchomp, and was knocked out by the Mach Pokémon's Dragon Rush.
Personality and characteristics
Infernape is considered to be quite a humdinger, as it is very well-trained and powerful. This strength was first shown when it was still a Chimchar where it took out a Stunky and Jolteon singlehandedly. The same also applies to Flint's battle with Ash when it easily took out all three of his Pokémon. Infernape is also highly persistent, fighting to the very end with Garchomp in Flint's battle with Cynthia even after having been previously weakened from defeating two of her other Pokémon.
Moves used
A † shows that the move was used recently, unless all moves fit this case or there are fewer than five known moves. |
In the games
Infernape is Flint's highest-leveled Pokémon in Diamond and Pearl, and though it isn't in Platinum (that position being given to his Magmortar instead), it is still used in his team when rebattling the Elite Four.

- Out of all the Elite Four's Pokémon (excluding anime-considered Champions such as Lance and Cynthia), Infernape is the only one to make more than one physical appearance in the anime.
- Infernape is subject to a continuity error: in Flint Sparks the Fire!, it was shown to still be a Chimchar when Flint is an adult, but is a Monferno in Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!, where Flint is still a child. It's unknown if Monferno's appearance is a mistake or a retcon to their story.

Orchid and Tropical Bonsai Show
Jan. 18 – March 9, 2014
Let us delight and inspire you with this special treat-of-a-show.
Be our guest for our Orchid and Tropical Bonsai Show, and take a stroll through serene gardens to gather orchid-growing tips, learn all about bonsai, and simply delight in the beauty of two of nature's most inspired art forms. Featuring elegant orchids planted in garden beds and hanging baskets, and offering a rare chance to view our permanent collection of tropical bonsai, this special treat-of-a-show is not to be missed!
Orchids: A Beauty Beyond Compare
Celebrated for their diversity — more than 25,000 species exist worldwide — and for their stunning beauty, orchids are truly beyond compare. The Orchid and Tropical Bonsai Show features hundreds of these beloved flowers, and the Barbara Tisherman Slipper Orchid collection, curated in collaboration with the Orchid Society of Western Pennsylvania to be one of the world's definitive slipper orchid resources, will also be on display.
Bonsai: A Time-Honored Tradition
As a striking contrast to extravagant orchids, guests will also have the chance to see Phipps' permanent collection of tropical bonsai. Classified by size and style based upon the shapes of their trunks, roots and branches, bonsai take many forms, from the iconic formal upright bonsai to the more dramatic slant bonsai that resemble windswept trees.
Learn to Grow Your Own
Starting your own orchid and bonsai collections at home can be very rewarding if you know where to begin. Join us on select Saturdays and Sundays at 1:30 p.m. throughout the show for a series of how-to presentations, offered free with Phipps admission.
Orchid and Tropical Bonsai Show, designed by Phipps staff, runs from Jan. 18 – March 9, 2014. Open daily from 9:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. and until to 10 p.m. on Fridays.

Quotations about Teachers
Related Quotes Back to School Teacher Appreciation Children Education Learning
I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. ~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann" The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth." ~Dan Rather In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day's work. It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years. ~Jacques Barzun Teaching creates all other professions. ~Author Unknown If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had different needs, and some of whom didn't want to be there and were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist, without assistance, had to treat them all with professional excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception of the classroom teacher's job. ~Donald D. Quinn Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing. ~John F. Kennedy A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary. ~Thomas Carruthers Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater. ~Gail Godwin A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron. ~Horace Mann Most teachers have little control over school policy or curriculum or choice of texts or special placement of students, but most have a great deal of autonomy inside the classroom. To a degree shared by only a few other occupations, such as police work, public education rests precariously on the skill and virtue of the people at the bottom of the institutional pyramid. ~Tracy Kidder A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. ~Henry Brooks Adams A good teacher is like a candle - it consumes itself to light the way for others. ~Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, translated from Turkish If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. ~Margaret Fuller The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-distrust. He guides their eyes from himself to the spirit that quickens him. He will have no disciple. ~Amos Bronson Alcott A good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplism. ~Louis A. Berman We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children. ~John Sculley Good teachers are costly, but bad teachers cost more. ~Bob Talbert The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. ~William Arthur Ward The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself. ~Edward Bulwer-Lytton A teacher's purpose is not to create students in his own image, but to develop students who can create their own image. ~Author Unknown What the teacher is, is more important than what he teaches. ~Karl Menninger Teaching should be full of ideas instead of stuffed with facts. ~Author Unknown A cross-eyed teacher can keep twice the number of children in order than any other, because the pupils do not know who she's looking at. ~Four Hundred Laughs: Or, Fun Without Vulgarity, compiled and edited by John R. Kemble, 1902 Teaching is leaving a vestige of one self in the development of another. And surely the student is a bank where you can deposit your most precious treasures. ~Eugene P. Bertin Teachers who inspire know that teaching is like cultivating a garden, and those who would have nothing to do with thorns must never attempt to gather flowers. ~Author Unknown Teachers who inspire realize there will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how we use them. ~Author Unknown Teaching is not a lost art, but the regard for it is a lost tradition. ~Jacques Barzun One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. ~Carl Jung A teacher's job is to take a bunch of live wires and see that they are well-grounded. ~D. Martin What a teacher writes on the blackboard of life can never be erased. ~Author Unknown The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind. ~Kahlil Gibran Discover wildlife: be a teacher! ~Author Unknown The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people. ~K. Patricia Cross When you teach your son, you teach your son's son. ~The Talmud The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book. ~Author Unknown The average teacher explains complexity; the gifted teacher reveals simplicity. ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher. That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number. ~Author Unknown 2 Teach is 2 Touch lives 4 Ever ~Author Unknown Who dares to teach must never cease to learn. ~John Cotton Dana There are three good reasons to be a teacher - June, July, and August. ~Author Unknown A truly special teacher is very wise, and sees tomorrow in every child's eyes. ~Author Unknown A teacher should have maximal authority, and minimal power. ~Thomas Szaz To teach is to learn twice. ~Joseph Joubert, Pensées, 1842 The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you just learned this morning. ~Author Unknown Teachers touch the future. ~Author Unknown Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed. ~Marva Collins The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher. ~Elbert Hubbard Teaching is the only major occupation of man for which we have not yet developed tools that make an average person capable of competence and performance. In teaching we rely on the "naturals," the ones who somehow know how to teach. ~Peter Drucker Teachers are expected to reach unattainable goals with inadequate tools. The miracle is that at times they accomplish this impossible task. ~Haim G. Ginott The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery. ~Mark Van Doren Quotations From Teachers: The only reason I always try to meet and know the parents better is because it helps me to forgive their children. ~Louis Johannot If you promise not to believe everything your child says happens at school, I'll promise not to believe everything he says happens at home. ~Anonymous Teacher

INDIVIDUALS!! This is the point in the competition where we lose our teammates and it is completely up to us as individuals to keep ourselves in the game. The mood in the house has definitely shifted. It has gone from "help your neighbor; we're all in this together" to "Can I trust my neighbor? I'm in this for myself."
On a lighter note, individuals is also the time where we all get new colors! Francy= Orange, Joe= Garnet, Jeff= Aqua, Alex= Green, Gina= Purple, Mike= Charcoal, Danni= Pink. And Me? I'm the Golden boy!

With Lisa gone, it is more important than ever to come together as a team and make every second in the gym count. Lisa was our motivator. She would get us up early every morning, she would pull us off the couch when we didn't want to go walking, and she made sure we were all eating right. Basically, Lisa was the mom of the group and now it's like we have been kicked out of the nest. We have to learn to fly on our own.
Starting weight: 328 poundsEnd of Week 4: 288 poundsTotal loss: 40 pounds
Week 4, Ho!
Red team is definitely feeling the pressure. We have just eliminated Cate and all we want to do is eat dinner and get some rest.
But it wouldn't be a week on the Biggest Loser ranch if there weren't a wrench tossed into our plan. Alison Sweeney and the trainers (Bob Harper, Jillian Michaels and Dolvett Quince) walk into the kitchen and tell us that three more people will be leaving the ranch. Automatically, our first thought is "NO! We can't eliminate three more people tonight!"

Grilled Veal Chops with Raw Sauce
This is a great summer meal, yet still flavorful and hearty. The raw sauce is delicious with a variety of meats – it's especially good when made with fresh, ripe summer tomatoes.
The reason I let grilled meat "rest" after I cook it is to give all the luscious juiciness a chance to move back where it belongs: distributed throughout the meat, not running all over the platter! –RR
- 4 vine-ripe tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges, each wedge cut again in half
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (10 leaves), torn
- A handful flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and pepper
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), divided
- 4 bone-in rib veal chops, about 1 to 1 1/2-inches thick
- 1 pound fresh spinach, trimmed of thick stems and washed
- 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, roughly chopped
In a bowl, combine the tomatoes, basil, parsley, red onion, salt, pepper, balsamic vinegar and about two tablespoons EVOO. Allow the tomatoes to sit for 10 minutes so that the salt will leach out the juice of the tomatoes.

How creepy and interesting at the same time! It almost seems as if the title should be "Buuurn" haha. I love how realistic the fire and skull look. They remind me of a video game. The crimson background makes it more frightening. 5/5h and favorites.

Testimony has begun in the murder trial of a Dewey man charged with the death of a toddler in February 2012.
A jury was seated in Washington County court on Monday, January 28, 2013.
Marcus Mitchell is charged with first degree murder in the death of 15-month-old Emma Beth Warmberodt.
The state's first witnesses were emergency personnel who were first on the scene, telling the court that it was obvious the toddler had been dead long before they got there.
Agents with the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation testified they found marijuana and oxycodone in a bedroom shared by Marcus, his wife Ashley Williamson Mitchell and the toddler, Williamson Mitchell's daughter.
Williamson Mitchell entered a blind plea January 25, 2013 to child neglect and enabling child abuse. Her sentencing is set for April 3, 2013.
1/25/2013 Related Story: Mother Enters Guilty Plea In Death Of Dewey Toddler
Mitchell's mother, Juanchelle Fitch, who also lives in the home, waived her jury trial on Friday and is scheduled to enter a plea on February 6th. Fitch is charged with being an accessory after the fact.
The state has stated it could call as many as 20 witnesses in the trial.

FDA Introduces New Safety Measures for Opioid Medications
On July 9, 2012, FDA approved a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (REMS) for extended-release and long-acting opioid medications. The REMS is part of a federal initiative to address the potential for misuse and abuse of prescription drugs, and will affect more than 20 companies that produce extended-release or long-acting opioid drugs. Companies will be required to make educational programs available to prescribers based on a blueprint provided by FDA. In addition, companies will be required to make FDA-approved patient education materials available, and to perform periodic assessments of the implementation of the REMS. There are three key components to the initiative:
Of note, the REMS applies only to extended-release and long-acting opioid medications, not to immediate release formulations, because FDA has concluded that there is a disproportionate safety problem (i.e., abuse, misuse, and overdose potential) associated with these products that must be addressed. At this time, prescriber training is voluntary, and not a precondition for prescribing extended-release or long-lasting opioids to patients. However, according to the FDA press release, the Obama Administration is pursuing legislation that would make opioid prescriber training mandatory and link training to registration with the Drug Enforcement Agency.

As of now, they are only available for the iPod nano, but you can choose from techni, denim, matrix, purple haze, lace, and loops designs. Hold onto the sensor switch and impress all the other PMPs in the room. Get one of these mini-hallucinogens online at the b2 Lounge for $19.98, where an optional neck strap is also available.

Survey Reveals Little Interest in iPhone
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Misc. Tech, Portable Audio / Video
Research company Markitecture recently released survey results concerning consumer interest of Apple's much touted upon, but not yet seen, iPhone. The firm contacted 1,300 participants who not only owned cell phones, but actually pay the monthly fee. The results show that although 77% were aware of the iPhone, only 6% are planing to buy the device
when it comes out on the market, while 2/3 said they had absolutely no interest in purchasing. We think Apple had better concentrate on fixing all the glitches and get with the program.

Apple Offers Possible Battery Fix
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Apple, Corporate News, PC / Laptop
Will the battery dilemmas never end? Apple has decided to offer a solution for battery problems that may occur in MacBook and MacBook Pros purchased between February 2006 and April 2007. Systems that contain Intel Core Duo processors will now get two years more of battery repair coverage by downloading a software fix.
Problems that have cropped up have included the batteries not being recognized by the computer, not charging sufficiently when plugged into an AC outlet, or even displaying a fully-charged battery as only a low charge. Apple says that they will replace them at no cost if your MacBook continues to misbehave after the download. We say the heck with that. We just want our computers to be equipped with reliable innards in the first place.

MGM Films Roar onto iTunes

More and more entertainment companies are jumping on the iTunes bandwagon—making life more and more fun for the rest of us. Most recently, Sony joined the fray, with some of their classic TV shows available for download. Now MGM has climbed aboard, adding such popular films as "Mad Max" and "Rocky" to the iTunes catalog, which already carries nearly 500 flicks from Walt Disney, Paramount Pictures and others. The MGM films will be available in the coming weeks; most of the movies in the iTunes Store can be downloaded for $9.99 USD.

Apple has just released an update to their pro photo editing and management application, Aperture. Users who download and install the update will enjoy an increase in reliability and performance in different areas of Aperture, including:
- Generation of thumbnails for adjusted images
- Restoring from a vault
- Entering and exiting Full Screen mode
- Working with large sets keywords in the Keywords HUD
A couple of Aperture users wrote in and told us that, after installing the update, they noticed a considerable performance increase, which can only be taken as a plus. There are also a few specific fixes that Apple addressed in this update, including:
- Previews now update properly when images are sent to an external editor.
- Leaf Aptus 22 and Aptus 75 images are now imported with the correct orientation.
- When folders are imported as projects, the folder structure is now correctly preserved when identically named subfolders are included in the hierarchy.
- Reconnecting referenced images that have been externally edited now works more reliably.
- Setting the ColorSync profile in the Aperture Print dialog now correctly suppresses color management settings in the Mac OS X Print dialog.
If you have Aperture installed, you can grab the 129 MB 1.5.3 upgrade by firing up Software Update, or by hitting up the download site.

Will Apple Introduce a New iPod This Year?
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Apple, Portable Audio / Video, Rumors, Wireless / WiFi
Rumors about the iPod are to us what donuts are to Homer Simpson. So we're fascinated by the latest one, reported by DigiTimes.com. They report that the next-gen iPod will be released in the third quarter of this year, and will incorporate WiFi capability. The wireless connectivity could be in the form of data transfer, particularly that of DRM-free music, as opposed to music sharing. Perhaps Apple has learned lessons from arch-enemy Microsoft, whose Zune wireless MP3 player had problems sharing music between players due to pesky copyright issues. If the rumor is true, Apple will serious competition in the WiFi MP3 player war: besides the Zune, SanDisk, Samsung and Sony are primed to launch wireless-capable players in the near future, if they haven't done so already.

Oh iPod, is there anything you can't do? As if anything playing music, videos and games weren't enough, now you're saving lives. Soldier Kevin Garrad was on patrol in Iraq when he found himself just a few feet from an insurgent armed with an AK-47. Each man fired shots: the insurgent was killed, while Garrad was hit in the chest pocket where he kept his trusty iPod—which prevented the bullet from penetrating his body armor. Garrad walked away uninjured, and Apple has promised him a new iPod. No wonder why Apple has shipped 100 million of these.

Breaking: Apple Delays Leopard Until October Due to iPhone
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, PC / Laptop, Software
For those who were waiting with baited breath for the launch of Mac OS X Leopard at the Worldwide Developer's Conference in June, you are going to have to wait a bit longer. Apple just dropped a bombshell, claiming that, despite their promise that they would ship Leopard this spring, we won't be seeing it on Apple Store shelves until October 2007. The reason for the delay? One word: iPhone. From Apple:
iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price—we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS® X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned. While Leopard's features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us. We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October. We think it will be well worth the wait. Life often presents tradeoffs, and in this case we're sure we've made the right ones.
Whoa. Think about that for a moment. Apple claims that the software on the iPhone, which is supposedly a stripped down and optimized OS X, is so sophisticated that they had to move resources from the Mac OS X team to the iPhone team to get iPhone out the door in June. Developers who attend WWDC will instead walk away with a beta version of Leopard.
If that isn't enough proof that Apple sees the iPhone as their main focus right now, we don't know what else they could do to convince you of that fact. Still, we guess that, on the positive side, the fact that Apple is delaying the OS as opposed to releasing an under-performing version of it's next-gen OS only to patch it up in a few months, is a good thing.

A few days ago, Apple announced that the Mac Pro would now become available with dual Quad-Core Intel Xeon Clovertown processors, each running at 3.0 GHz. We have received reports from readers who ordered the octo-core Macs that they have received shipping notifications. So why aren't we more excited? Well, the price difference between the 3.0 GHz quad-core Mac Pro and the 3.0 GHz 8-core Mac Pro is $700. However, move that $700 elsewhere, say, to extra RAM, and you walk away with a quad-core Mac with 4-6GB of RAM. To us, that is just a much better deal all around - you know, what with there being a severe lack of programs that can take advantage of four cores, let alone eight.

The i.Sound Audio Vault is an iPod Case and Speaker
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Apple, Music, Portable Audio / Video
Spring is here, summer is coming, which means we'll be spending way more time away from our computers
outdoors. What better way to enjoy picnics, strolls through the park, or a day at the beach than with your favorite MP3s? Instead of lugging portable speakers, consider Dreamgear's i.Sound Audio Vault, an ingenious iPod case that doubles as a speaker. If used to house a 5G iPod, the other side of the case allows you to watch videos and access the controls—all without opening the case. The i.Sound is made of strong nylon material, has bass boost and even an alarm function. Requires 4 AA batteries. Dreamgear states the Audio Vault is compatible with all iPods, but frankly, we think it's way too big for an iPod Shuffle or Nano. The Audio Vault is unavailable for purchase on Dreamgear's website, however you can grab it for $27 USD at Target.
