Brad Stevens was introduced Friday as the 17th coach in Celtics history.
Stevens, from Butler University, said he was "humbled" by his new role and "in awe" of the history that surrounds the Celtics.
Celtics boss Danny Ainge, left, said he had been interested in Stevens as an NBA coaching candidate for several years, but never thought he'd be able to hire him.
There were dozens of members of the media on hand at the Celtics' training facility in Waltham for the introduction of Stevens.
Stevens was joined by his wife, Tracy, who also negotiated his contract.
Said Stevens: "I couldn't be more thrilled for the opportunity."

MHealthy: Focus on Diabetes
MHealthy: Focus on Diabetes was a ground-breaking two-year pilot program that eliminated or reduced the cost of selected medications for U-M faculty, staff and their dependents who have diabetes. Launched in July 2006, the program encouraged the proper and sustained use of specific drugs that affect blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol and depression with the goal of preventing or reducing the long-term complications of diabetes. It was the first in the nation designed specifically to evaluate the impact of targeted co-pay reduction for preventive medications.
Current Program Status
The university will discontinue the diabetes medication cost reduction program on January 1, 2013 based on pilot study findings. A team of university researchers, clinicians, and benefits administration staff studied the effects of this copay relief program on medication adherence at U-M and found no significant change. Overall, U-M faculty and staff have a high level of adherence in taking their recommended medications, so the pilot program did not have a significant effect.
The copay reduction for medications for diabetes, cholesterol and high blood pressure will continue through December 31, 2012. Members who currently take insulin will continue to receive their insulin and supplies with no copay.

Diabetes: Background information
Adapted from information provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention
Diabetes is a chronic, or lifelong, disease in which blood sugar (glucose) levels are above normal, either because the body doesn't make enough of a sugar-converting hormone called insulin or can't use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes sugar to build up in the blood, which over time can harm the blood vessels, heart, nerves, eyes, kidneys and other body systems. Problems that result from this harm are called complications, and include everything from heart attack to kidney failure. They can be fatal or disabling.
There are two kinds of diabetes: Type 1 (formerly called "juvenile diabetes"), which results when the pancreas stops making insulin for reasons that are still unclear, and Type 2, (sometimes called "adult" diabetes) which results when the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, especially when a person is obese. People with Type 1 diabetes need to take insulin to stay alive, while people with Type 2 diabetes may be able to keep their blood sugar in check through diet, exercise and medications, although many also take insulin.
In recent years, research on diabetes and its complications has yielded valuable information that has allowed experts to develop guidelines for the treatment of people with either form of diabetes. Such guidelines stress the importance of not only blood-sugar control, but blood-pressure and cholesterol control, and periodic tests to spot the early signs of eye, kidney and nerve damage. Patients who follow these guidelines with their doctor's help may greatly reduce their chance of diabetes complications, or at least delay them until later in life. Diet, exercise and medication can all be used to keep blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol low.
20.8 million Americans, or 7 percent of the population, have diabetes. 14.6 million of them are aware of this, but 6.2 million people have undiagnosed diabetes. About 1.5 million new cases of diabetes were diagnosed in people aged 20 years or older in 2005.
Diabetes costs America $132 billion each year, including $92 billion in medical costs and $40 billion in costs
related to disability, work loss and premature death.
Diabetes was the sixth leading cause of death listed on U.S. death certificates in 2002 – and is likely to be under-reported on death certificates
Members of some ethnic groups are more prone to develop diabetes. About 8.7 percent of non-Hispanic whites have diabetes. By comparison, the odds of developing the disease are 1.8 times higher among non-Hispanic blacks, 1.7 times higher among Mexican-Americans, and 2.2 times higher among American Indians and Alaska Natives. (odds are age-adjusted)
Adults with diabetes have heart disease death rates about 2 to 4 times higher than adults without diabetes, and their risk of stroke is 2 to 4 times higher. About 73 percent of adults with diabetes either have high blood pressure or use medicine to control their blood pressure.
Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, accounting for 44 percent of new cases in 2002. More than 44,000 people with diabetes begin kidney dialysis each year.
About 60 percent to 70 percent of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of nervous system damage. Severe forms of this damage contribute to many foot and leg amputations.
Prevention really works: For every percentage-point drop in blood sugar levels (using a test called A1C), people with diabetes reduce their risk of eye, kidney, and nerve diseases by 40 percent. For every 10-point drop in blood pressure, they reduce their risk of any complication by 12 percent. Improved control of cholesterol can reduce heart and blood-vessel complications by 20 to 50 percent. And detection and treatment of diabetic eye disease can reduce the development of severe vision loss by an estimated 50 percent to 60 percent.

Magnificent Moths Parade lights up Worcester city centre
Updated 3:32pm Saturday 22nd February 2014 in News By Chris Plant, Reporter
THE MAGIC of the carnival filled the streets of Worcester as hundreds of onlookers got into the party atmosphere today.
A colourful array of bird, butterfly and moth costumes lit up the city centre all to the marching band of the Samba Drummers- Victorian character Winnie Bird was out on her time travelling machine once again, on the hunt for giant magnificent moths, setting the streets alive.
The birds, butterflies and moths are all part of Winnie's personal collection.
The Magnificent Moths parade was part of the Love Worcester Heritage Festival and aimed to bring the allure of museums on to the high street.
Helen Large, of Museums Worcestershire which put on the spectacle with Imagineer Productions, said: " This parade is part of the Love Worcester Festival, and is aiming to raise the profile of the wonders on exhibit at Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum and The Commandery.
"People seemed to have loved it and are enjoying themselves, hundreds have turned out for it and I'm glad to see it's a real success.
"The other aim behind the parade was to boost economy in the city by bringing more people into Worcester city centre.
"This is the first time we have put on a parade of this nature and we're all so glad it's got the reception it has. It's also goes great with Worcester's current Open For Business campaign, nothing highlights that point better than a parade through the town centre."
Jane Hytch, CEO of Imagineers Productions, said: "It's great to be part of this wonderful event and to bring the magic of museums on to the streets to show people the truly great artifacts Worcester museums have on display.
"The performers all put on a great show and we're glad the people of Worcester enjoyed it."
Before the parade got underway, there were dance and music performances across the city centre too in a day of festival fun.

I didn't start out to own only Honda motorcycles, that's just the way it worked out. My first motorcycle was a used 305...
Each summer, I travel around the United States on my Honda Gold Wing®. For years, I've been planning the ultimate tour. Sponsored by the Southern California Motorcycle Association (SCMA), it's called the Four Corners Tour. To complete this trek, you travel to the four corners of the United States, take a photo near a local landmark, find a secret phone number, and mail the whole works in to the SCMA. My 14-year-old daughter Maggie and I undertook on this journey, a father-daughter adventure that is impossible to relate in detail. Here are our favorite highlights and photos.
Follow us on a GoldWing trip from Arizona to the Salton Sea. Comfort and performance to the max!
The Honda SH150i may be unknown in the United States, but it's been zooming off showroom floors in Europe. In fact, Honda says it's the bestselling feet-forward machine in scooter-crazy Italy, land of Vespa/Aprilia/Piaggio. Surprised? Me too. But maybe we shouldn't be. The reasonably priced, mid-size SH150i is everything a scooter rider wants. With plenty of power, high-tech brakes and a modern, sporty style, I can see why the SH150i is king.
Now it's an anachronism; a leftover from the days when roadrace circuits came with crosswalks and curbs. But in the mid-'50s the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy was the world's most important motorcycle race.

Richard Castle
Played by Nathan FillionFollow
Roguish best-selling author, Richard Castle is the consummate man about town. He is nearly as well known for his tabloid-generating antics as for his immensely successful novels. Living with his teenage daughter and mother, Castle's life is never short on drama, but after killing off his most famous character, Derrick Storm, Castle was in desperate need of inspiration for this next book series.
When a serial killer began staging murders which copied the murder scenes in his books, Castle was pulled in by NYPD Detective Kate Beckett to consult on the investigation. It was then he discovered the perfect muse for his new book series, and a new calling. Turns out all those years of research for his crime novels paid off, as Castle used his unique knowledge and skills to help bring the killer to justice. In the aftermath of that case, an unlikely but valuable partnership was formed.
Since joining the ranks of the 12th precinct he's proved to be an invaluable asset to Detective Beckett, as well a charming thorn in her side. Despite, or perhaps because of, the tension between the pair, there's little doubt that Castle has found in Beckett much more than just a muse.
In addition to his starring role on Castle, Nathan Fillion was a recurring star on Desperate Housewives, playing Dr. Adam Mayfair, the new neighbor on Wisteria Lane and much younger husband of Katherine Mayfair (Dana Delany). On the big screen he recently finished shooting Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, which will be released in August 2013, and starred in Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing, which will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Fillion's other film credits include Trucker, opposite Michelle Monoghan, Waitress, with Keri Russell, Universal's Slither, co-starring Elizabeth Banks, White Noise 2, Serenity, which reunited him with director Joss Whedon, Saving Private Ryan, the independent film Water's Edge, Blast from the Past, Dracula 2000 and Doubting Reilly. On television he earned an Emmy nomination for his role in the daytime drama One Life to Live. Other TV credits include the series Drive, Two Guys and a Girl, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Pasadena and Miss Match.
A native of Edmonton, Alberta, Fillion wanted to be a high school teacher and studied at the University of Alberta. He later starred in productions at the Edmonton Fringe Festival and performed with comedy groups in town before moving on to pursue an acting career in New York and Los Angeles.


text: Both second-year pro Marshall Newhouse and first-round rookie Derek Sherrod earned solid reviews at left tackle and right tackle, respectively, after veteran OLT Chad Clifton was carted off the field with a hamstring injury in Week Five. But the consensus is that Newhouse, who has come a long way in a short time, is considered far ahead of Sherrod in his development. In his first sustained action at the pro level, though, Sherrod did look surprisingly comfortable at right tackle — a position he told team insiders he played only as a freshman at Mississippi State — after Newhouse, who was replacing injured starting ORT Bryan Bulaga, moved over to left tackle to replace Clifton. There was some speculation the Packers might move Bulaga to left tackle in place of Clifton, who we hear could be out for an extended period. But our sources tell us the team never seriously considered such a move.

Conquer Paralysis by Team Justin - 10 months ago
"We used the T-Shirts to promote a charity event. I ran the New York City Marathon in honor of my 9-year old son who became paralyzed 18-months ago. The shirts helped us increase awareness of spinal cord injuries and we raised over $14,000 for the Christopher Reeve Foundation."

Snow will be flying in the air this afternoon as a very cold upper level disturbance passes across Middle Tennessee.
There could be occasional "bursts" of moderate to heavy snow that could easily put a dusting on the ground in most areas. There could be isolated areas with higher amounts.
In our eastern counties on and adjacent to the Plateau there could be an inch, maybe two.
This upper level disturbance will have temperatures as low as -13° at 18,000 ft. while temps at the surface will be in the mid 30s.
This will produce "convective" type snow showers. That word is usually used for summer thundershowers, but it all has to do with the difference in temperature from the surface to aloft.
DRIVING: Temperatures should stay a few degrees above freezing until right around sunset. After that there could be some slick spots developing, especially on bridges and overpasses, though the snow will taper off this evening.

Multiple Births, 1980-2005
The rising incidence of multiple births over the last two decades has been associated with two related trends: the older age at childbearing (older mothers are more likely than younger mothers to conceive multiples spontaneously) and increasing use of fertility therapies. A study of multiples born in the year 2000 estimated that natural conception accounted for 67% of the twins and only 18% of the triplets and greater multiples born that year.

Research Interests
- Meiotic and Mitotic Spindle Assembly and Function, and Cytokinesis, in the early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo
- Cell Polarity in the early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo
The Bowerman lab uses genetics, molecular biology, and microscopy to study cytoskeletal regulation and function in the early Caenorhabditis elegans embryo. Beginning with the first mitotic cell division, the early embryo undergoes a sequence of five asymmetric cleavages. Figure 1 shows the first three mitotic divisions during embryogenesis; two of these are asymmetric.
These early divisions are largely responsible for establishing the pattern of cell fates required for normal embryonic development. The asymmetric divisions, with their stereotyped timing and mitotic spindle positioning, provide a rich context in which to use the powerful genetics of C. elegans to investigate cytoskeletal function.
The actomyosin cytoskeleton, including the non-muscle myosin II called NMY-2 (in red in the late anaphase mitotic one-cell stage embryo in Figure 2), is localized predominantly at the cell cortex. The actomyosin cytoskeleton is important both for generating anterior-posterior polarity, and for the execution of cytokinesis.
Microtubules (shown in green in Figure 2; DNA is in blue) form the meiotic and mitotic spindles, which capture and segregate chromosomes. During mitosis, astral microtubules contact the cell cortex and are important for proper spindle positioning. Current C. elegans research projects in the lab focus on the assembly and function of meiotic and mitotic spindles, cell polarity, cytokinesis, and mitotic spindle orientation in early embryonic cells.

I prefer the 5D Mark II and the 1Ds Mark III for studio work.

Pages: [1] 2
Topic: Studio shoot, 5D MarkII or MarkIII (Read 3996 times)
- Guest
I do little in the way of studio work, but the MkIII does come into its own if it is a fast moving shoot. If you have the time to focus manually (especially at wide apertures), then there is no difference. but if you have to react quickly, then the AF of the MkIII is invaluable, due to the speed and accuracy of the AF system and also the number of points, which adds flexibility on placement.
Canon 5D MkIII, 7D, 300mm L IS f/2.8 and a few other L's
is the shoot going to involve fabrics? the 5dmk3 performs better in controlling moire in this situation
APS-H Fanboy
go for the mk II and spoil yourself with a new lens.
And in all honesty, both are going to deliver amazing quality shots. It won't make a difference if you don't know how to use either.
And in all honesty, both are going to deliver amazing quality shots. It won't make a difference if you don't know how to use either.
Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 60D; EF-S 10-22; EF 70-200 f/4L IS; EF 24-70 f/2.8L II; 580EX II. Soon to add: 50 1.2L, 135 f/2L, 8-15L
The 5DIII is better than the 5DII in every way, soup to nuts. Not always hugely better, sometimes even only insignificantly better for certain applications, but always better.Well said.
...except, of course, for price.
So, if price isn't a factor -- and you seem to be indicating that it's not -- then it's a no-brainer.
That writ, studio work, where, presumably, you're shooting with well-balanced strobes at ISO 100 and f/8 - f/11, the only time you'll see a difference with any camera on the market today is when printing on a machine that's too big to sit on a desktop (or when pixel peeping). Resolution isn't a factor at desktop printer sizes, and dynamic range is a moot point when you can push a lever or position a reflector or whatever to tame the light to whatever it needs to be. Noise, of course, is also a non-factor at ISO 100. Keep going down the list and, again, unless you're printing big, only ergonomics really differentiates a Rebel with a kit lens from a 1Dx with L glass in the studio.
(Again, just to be clear: I'm assuming studio strobes in typical use and 13" x 19" prints and smaller, no significant cropping, etc., etc., etc. Atypical use of strobes, window light, all sorts of other factors could easily skew the equation all sorts of ways.)

I would actually think about 6D, it's wi-fi function may be quite usefull in studio work.
canon rumors FORUM
Doesn't matter. If anything I'd prefer the MK3 so I don't have I recompose so much.

Olney: Marlins talked with D-backs about Reyes
According to ESPN MLB insider Buster Olney, the Miami Marlins had discussed the possibility of moving Jos� Reyes to the Arizona Diamondbacks before sending the young shortstop to the Toronto Blue Jays in a blockbuster trade this past Tuesday.
Before the megatrade was made, the Marlins talked with the D-Backs about shortstop Jose Reyes as they assessed the market.— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) November 15, 2012
With so many young prospects in their farm system and a desperate need for a shortstop, the pieces were certainly in place for the D-backs to make a move for the Reyes.
Arizona would most likely have had to include a top prospect or two in any deal with the Marlins. One of the options could have been Trevor Bauer, which may not have been a problem since numerous reports are stating the D-backs are looking to move the young hurler.
For whatever reason the trade didn't happen, leaving the D-backs with newly acquired shortstop Cliff Pennington to go along with John McDonald and Willie Bloomquist at the position.

Our innovative MSc Sustainable Heritage course at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies uses a block teaching model, like an MBA, so that most of its parts can be accomplished at a distance (see structure). Our course is designed to create a new generation of heritage managers and leaders. Equipping you with the skills to bring together the multi-disciplinary fields of heritage and heritage management, our course attracts those with an aptitude for inter-disciplinary work wishing to make a difference in the heritage field.
Designed for a new generation of heritage leaders, our course brings together all aspects of cultural heritage - historic buildings, collections, sites and landscapes - combined with the best preventive conservation policies, projects, methodologies and practices. Our course intends to instil highly skilled you with leadership and management qualities by bringing professionals and informed clients together in a learning environment to promote mutual understanding.
An undergraduate degree and three years of work experience (paid or unpaid/voluntary/internships), or ten years' experience in a relevant field, are desirable. Above all, our programme is designed to create leaders who apply the concepts of sustainability and sustainable development within heritage management projects.
Centre for Sustainable Heritage homepage
Programme Objectives
Ours is a pragmatic course that incorporates team working, exercises, presentations, problem-based teaching and leading edge teaching and learning techniques. Detailed case studies are used as a way to explore issues in-depth and integrate different strands of information. You are trained to give professional presentations to, and write reports for, policy makers responsible for today's crucial heritage decisions, based upon real and complex heritage dilemmas.
To achieve the aims of the course, you will be challenged to develop both your knowledge and skills. You will engage with issues including:
- the underlying concepts of heritage value;
- how social, economic, environmental, scientific, technological, design and engineering decisions affect physical sustainability;
- the wider implications of our actions to preserve constructed heritage in the natural environment;
- the planning and management of interdisciplinary heritage projects within the context of sustainable development.
Throughout the course, you will have access to:
- international, interdisciplinary teachers who are leading professionals in their field;
- real-life heritage case studies as the dynamic basis for discussing complex and demanding issues;
- public stewards and private owners of heritage in order to learn from practice;
- leading heritage stakeholders;
- a two-week study visit in Malta as an integral part of the course (travel expenses and accommodation are covered by the course).
Our programme also provides opportunities for project placements with leading national and international heritage organisations.
Our course leads to an MSc or Graduate Diploma Built Environment: Sustainable Heritage.
The course is accredited by the Royal
Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

All MSc and Graduate
Diploma students undertake the taught elements of the course. This consists of
the four compulsory core modules and an oral examination. MSc students
additionally complete the master's dissertation. The course can be taken full
time over one year or part time (2-5 years), normally over two years. The flexible, modular nature of the course is intended to support busy professionals interested in furthering their education.
MSc uses a block teaching model, like an MBA rather than the traditional one or
two day per week master's course, with each module structured as follows:
- Two weeks' advance reading using an online learning environment that you can access through a web browser and traditional literature sources. This can readily be accomplished at a distance.
- A taught phase where all students come together for two weeks' intensive classroom teaching, study visits and case-study work. This is based at UCL for modules 1, 3 and 4 and in Malta for module 2 (travel from the UK and accommodation expenses are paid for from the course). Most students already have work experience in the heritage or related field, and this enhances the quality of classroom discussion, which is a central feature of the course.
- A post-module phase of four weeks where the student individually completes an assessed piece of course work that is submitted via the online learning environment. This can be completed in the student's home location.

BENVGSH1 Sustainability and Heritage Value looks at the issues of value and sustainability being discussed widely in heritage management practice and theory. The notion of value is becoming mainstream. There is also acceptance of the need to put stewardship of cultural heritage centre stage, that is, to involve communities in decision-making and for practitioners, in turn, to see the relevance of wider societal issues to their work.
This introductory module presents concepts that will become recurring themes throughout the course. These concepts will increasingly inform students' understanding of how they can successfully perform jobs as heritage managers and leaders in a world where access to precious resources - economic, natural, technological and others - is becoming more constrained.
The aim is to provide students with grounding in the theories and philosophies of sustainability, conservation and heritage management, including their underlying values and ethics. Students will engage with issues and ideas relating to sustainability and sustainable development and how they apply to heritage management, thus questioning past and present attitudes to redefine future trends.
BENVGSH2 Heritage Materials and Assemblies aims to enable students to develop an understanding of materials, mechanisms and evidence of deterioration and the interaction and effects of context and use on heritage materials and assemblies. 'Understanding a historic building is the first step towards decisions about management, repair and alteration.'
Students will learn about pathologies and diagnostics including monitoring, analysis and documentation, and use this knowledge to balance a complex range of social, economic, environmental and cultural factors that may affect the integrity of materials.
As part of the module, you will be
taken on a two-week study visit to Malta. This is hosted by Heritage Malta, the
national agency responsible for the management of national museums, heritage
sites and their collections in Malta and Gozo. Travel and accommodation expenses are covered by the course.
This module is not intended to develop your practical preservation and conservation skills; however, as heritage managers and consultants in the heritage sector, you will need to understand the main preservation and conservation issues in order to make informed decisions about the survival of often vulnerable assemblies and to be sensitive to the cultural ramifications of your decisions. You will learn about the range of techniques and tools that are available, their advantages and limitations, and will discuss and use a range of strategies to improve your understanding of deterioration issues and how to achieve this knowledge using the resources available.
BENVGSH3 Sustainable Strategies takes its queue from the definition of sustainable development as 'meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs' (Our Common Future, United Nations World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987, commonly known as the Brundtland Report). This module deals with sustainability strategies for historic buildings, sites and collections and focuses on practical solutions that meet present requirements for heritage management, preservation, conservation and use, while taking the long view in terms of future needs of communities from the historic and archaeological environment.
The aim of this module is to enable students to develop an integrated understanding of buildings, sites, collections, contexts and environment. This will include teaching the design of sustainable strategies for conservation and reuse of the heritage, their implementation and funding/economic considerations. It will refocus the balance between traditional preservation and conservation approaches and use, leading to sustainable solutions within the broader context of environmental sustainability.
BENVGSH4 Project Planning, Management and Maintenance aims to enable students to develop an understanding of heritage management, personal leadership and project management and how to successfully convert strategy into operational reality. The module will also consider the different scales at which planning of projects takes place, from master planning to detailed project planning. The focus on project planning, management and maintenance will highlight wider leadership and management issues which will be examined in the module. It will draw on knowledge and case studies from earlier modules, providing you with an enhanced framework with which to evaluate strategic decisions and heritage management practices.
BENVGBE1 Sustainable Heritage Master's Dissertation MSc students are required to submit an 8,000-10,000 word dissertation. The topic of the dissertation, which is supervised by a member of staff from the Bartlett Centre for Sustainable Heritage, is selected by the student in agreement with the course director. It can be taken from a wide range of subjects related to the main themes of the course and may be selected to assist career development, for its inherent interest, or because it is related to a relevant professional issue at work.
The MSc Sustainable Heritage programme draws upon the full range of expertise offered by the Bartlett Centre for Sustainable Heritage's extensive team of professors and lecturers working in the field.
Between them, these staff represent some of the world's most respected experts in the discipline of heritage, producing both substantial scholarly work at the centre and highly innovative work at the leading edge of the field.

Why do you say lies about Islam? You have to be fair when descriping other religions to Christians otherwise you are a liar.
You said that in Islam no one can make relation with God and that's not true. Everyone can make relation with God, moreover the topheads of islamic organizations can't claim they are better than common people cuz it's a pure heart issue in the first place.
You said in Islam God is unknown and that's tricky cuz for sure we know him but we didn't see him,so we know him morally not physically.
You said the prize is after death, and that's the greatest lie, cuz the rule that every Muslim know is, bad relationship with Allah(God)=discomfort in life, good relationship=comfort, contentment, and help of Allah. You said that everyone need forgiveness even Mohammed and that's not true, the truth is that we all need surplus from Allah cuz our good work can't reward blessing of Allah in life let aside the paradise.
You claim that Allah in Islam doesn't love anybody, however he loves the devouts. Is that enough, or you want me to say more?
If you are innocent and said that by mistake then correct it and contact me, if you want to misguide your people, it's up to you and Allah will judge you.
Thank you very much for taking time to read the article on Islam, and especially for writing to us. We appreciate you. And we do honor your request that we be fair in what we say about religions beside Christianity. If there are errors in what we have said, we are certainly open to correction.
As I read your message, I noted the following objections to the article on Islam:
That there is no true relationship with God in Islam.
That God is unknown in Islam.
That salvation consists in the blessings that come after death, rather than during this life.
That everyone is in need of forgiveness, even Muhammed.
That God is not described as a loving God in the Koran.
I can understand why some of these statements would be offensive to you. Let me do my best in trying to respond to each of them.
First, that there is no true relationship with God in Islam. In reading over the article, I couldn't find this precise statement. But I did find the statement at the end of the article that "the New Testament . . . reveals the only source of acceptance before God in His love and grace, expressed through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ . . . ." This is the clear testimony of the New Testament, and of Jesus Christ himself, and of his apostles. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father (God) but by me" (Gospel of John 14:6). The apostle Peter said, "Salvation is found in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). The name he referred to is Jesus Christ. This is a difficult statement to accept, I know. But it is the clear teaching of the New Testament, which also tells us that God is "the rewarder of those who earnestly seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). In other words, if we earnestly seek the truth of God, He will reveal it to us. And we believe that truth includes the teaching of Jesus Christ concerning his being the way to a relationship with God.
Second, that God is unknown in Islam. I did find the statement in the article that in the Koran, God is ultimately unknowable. I can understand your reaction to this statement. But it was intended to reflect the orthodox Muslim doctrine of mukhalafa (difference) and tanzih (removal or making transcendent), which implies that God's essence is not really knowable to us . . . that the attributes or characteristics ascribed to God in the Koran are descriptions of his actions or deeds, but not of his nature or essence. This may not be widely comprehended by Muslim people, but it is a reflection of Islamic teaching. You can consult for reference the book entitled The Call of the Minaret by Kenneth Cragg (New York: Oxford University Press, 1964), pp. 42-43.
Third, that the "prize" is after death, and not in this life. I couldn't really find a statement like this in the article. Actually, the New Testament teaches that there are many blessings that flow from our relationship with God through Jesus--both in this life and in the next. But obviously, knowing God does not shield us from ever experiencing pain and sorrow during this life. But it does assure us of the comforting grace and mercy of God, both now and after we die.
Fourth, that everyone needs forgiveness, even Muhammed. I know that among some Muslims, Muhammed is viewed as a nearly perfect man. And he obviously was a very great man. But the Koran itself testifies to his imperfection, and his need to ask forgiveness from God. See the following Koranic texts: 40.55; 41.19; 48.2. According to the the New Testament, all of us stand in need of God's forgiving grace. At one point it says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), and at another, "For the wages (penalty) of sin is death (eternal separation from God)" (Romans 6:23). This last text goes on to say, "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." In other words, eternal life (which includes forgiveness of our sin, as well as fellowship with God) comes to us as a free gift. At another place the New Testament says, "For by grace are you saved, through faith; and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8-9). As it says in the Gospel of John, "Yet to all who received him (Jesus Christ), to those who believed in his name, he (God) gave the right to become children of God" (Gospel of John 1:12).
Fifth, that the Koran does not speak of God as a God of love or as a Father to his people. I know that one of the names of God in the Koran is "Al Wadud" (the Loving, Compassionate one). I believe it is used of God only twice in the Koran (11.90 and 85.14). Yet I think it is clear that this title falls short of the Bible's description in I John 4:8 that "God is love," as well as the many examples of God actually extending his love to sinners. For example, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins" (I John 4:10). Actually, the great Islamic theologian al-Ghazzali taught that this title for God refers only to his objective acts of kindness or expressions of approval. In his work Al-Maqsad Al-Asna he says, "He (God) remains above the feeling of love" (p. 91) and "Love and mercy are desired in respect of their objects only for the sake of their fruit and benefit and not because of empathy or feeling" (p. 91). In light of this, I would have to stand by the statement in the article that in the Koran God is not spoken of as a God of love or as a Father to his people (a title never attributed to God in the Koran), as He is in the Bible.
Mr. ________, I do appreciate very much your writing to us. My purpose is not at all to offend you personally, but to encourage you to evaluate the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament, and to compare them to the teachings of Muhammed in the Koran. My wish and prayer is for God's blessing and grace on your life.

Letter carriers across the country picked up more than just the mail on Saturday, as it was the 22nd annual National Food Drive, put on by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC).
It was a busy scene early Saturday afternoon as food started arriving at the drop-off for Lorraine's Soup Kitchen.
Organizers hoped to pass last year's amount of 13,000 pounds of food for the kitchen.
They said it would be hard for them to go on without these kinds of contributions.
"Without days like today, we can't get through," said Jamin Wright, operations manager for the kitchen. "Without the community involvement, the donors and the donations, we simply won't make it through the day. So, as we're seeing these kinds of donations, this is what it's all about."
Lorraine's Soup Kitchen expects a minimum increase of 10 percent in pantry visits next year.
They said that is due to food insecurity rising and a decrease in funding.
In the past 21 years, the NALC said it has collected nearly 1.3 billion pounds of food nationwide.

CATEGORIES Movies, Cinematical'Avatar.' 'Up.' 'Clash of the Titans.' 'Piranha 3D.' 'Toy Story 3.'
... 'The Great Gatsby'?
When Baz Luhrmann's adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald classic first started cooking, it sounded pretty good. Names like Leonardo DiCaprio, Amanda Seyfried and Tobey Maguire were in the running for lead roles. By November, the strong starring cast was set. DiCaprio would be Jay Gatsby, Maguire would be Nick Carraway and Carey Mulligan would be Daisy Buchanan. Everything was on the up and up.
But chew on this. During a Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Baz Luhrmann revealed that he has workshopped 'Gatsby' in 3-D.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, right now it's only a possibility -- he hasn't decided on whether he would shoot in the format -- though if James Cameron gets a whiff of this, he'll probably hardcore court Luhrmann until he agrees.
'Gatsby' seems like an unexpected option for the 3-D format, one that upholds Cameron's vision of the future where everything is shot three-dimensionally. However, this might also suggest the twists and turns Luhrmann will add to the story.
If you think back to the '90s, he took 'Romeo and Juliet' -- with a young Leonardo DiCaprio before critical fame -- and set it amongst an intensely quirky world of guns, crazies and catchy music. If he's planning to shoot 'Gatsby' in 3-D, chances are it won't be a simple adaptation of the story, but rather a very distinct visual wonderland that works well with three-dimensional flair.
There's no doubt he could create some stunning visuals with 3-D, but is it right for 'Gatsby'?

For the 19th-straight year, the Missouri Valley Football Conference will be represented by at least two teams in the FCS playoffs, as North Dakota State and South Dakota State have earned 2013 bids.
The Bison are the No. 1 overall seed and will play the winner of the Furman/South Carolina State game.
South Dakota State will open the championship on the road, with a game at Northern Arizona at 7 pm CT on Nov. 30.
The league is 50-33 during the past 16 years in the FCS playoffs (since 1997), and the league has had at least two playoff teams every year since 1995. A league team has reached the semifinals in 13 of the past 17 years, which includes four national crowns. South Dakota State sports a 1-2 all-time record in the playoffs, while North Dakota State is 10-1 all-time in the FCS playoffs, including back-to-back national crowns.

In the CTF's fight with Canada Post, the Office of the Information Commissioner (OICC) found the postal monopoly to be in clear violation of the Access to Information and Privacy Act. The CTF filed an Access to Information request in November requiring Canada Post to disclose how much it spent on purchasing and installing 'anti-graffiti' wraps.
In a letter to the CTF, Carmen Garrett of the OICC stated that, "[Canada Post] failed to respond .. by the statutory due date," and was "in a position of deemed refusal." The letter went on to say that Canada Post's reasons for violating the information laws were not valid.
Like several other crown corporations, Canada Post was brought under the information laws when the Accountability Act was passed. Like some of those other crown corporations, Canada Post has failed to live up to it's obligations to taxpayers and disclose how its spends the public's money.
With the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) on strike demanding raises that most in the private sector cannot look forward to, perhaps it is time that we remove Canada Post's obligations to disclose how it spends taxpayers money, buy cutting it loose from government and letting it compete in the open market.

If you really think about it, all apps are procrastination apps, aren't they? We open them when we're ready to kill some time. But, not all time wasters are created equal. We've compiled a list of the 5 best procrastination apps we could find. Take a moment out of your busy day and download these. Then open them and see what they're all about. You'll finish that report later. It's national procrastination week, after all.
Tamago HD is a "game" where the point is to break the egg. Each time you tap the screen, the egg gets closer to breaking. The catch is, it takes one million taps to break the egg. One million! You can sure waste some time tapping on your screen for that long! The app lets you tweet how many times you've tapped the egg and adds the hashtag #tomago, so you can waste time seeing how many other people have been wasting time.
Procrastinator is the perfect app for people who can't make decisions on their own. The app makes you set a deadline for yourself to make decisions. If you haven't made a decision by the time that deadline passes, Procrastinator makes the decision for you. A psychologist and behavioral economist who studies decision-making designed the app. He even wrote a New York Times best selling book about it!
Do it (Tomorrow) is an app that asks "Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow?" The procrastinator's mantra! Do it (Tomorrow) is a procrastinator's app in an organizational disguise. The app makes it easy to create "to do" lists, and even easier to push things off until the next day.
If you're really a procrastinator, prove it. Procrastination Quotient lets you procrastinate by taking a quiz to determine whether you're a "legendary procrastinator or just a garden variety dilly-dallier." The app even tells you how much your procrastination is costing you financially. If you're proud of how much procrastination you can really get done, the app will let you connect to your Facebook and Twitter and broadcast your results. You could even waste some time by seeing how much your friends and family procrastinate.
Have you ever said to yourself, "I'll start that right after this show,"? I bet you have! With Stitcher Radio, that feeling will never end. You can listen to all of your favorite NPR, CNN, FOX, BBC, WSJ, Adam Carolla, SModcast, Joe Rogan, Rachel Maddow, Rush Limbaugh, Fresh Air, Freakonomics, Radiolab, and over 10,000 more shows and live stations whenever you want. What makes the app especially friendly for procrastinators is that it will let you "stitch" shows together on a never-ending stream of procrastination-educing entertainment.
Which apps do you use when you're trying to avoid something? Leave us a note in the comments section below.

Funding opportunities
iPSC-derived cellular therapeutics for Friedreich's ataxia
Funding Type:
Early Translational III
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$6 521 212
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
This application is aimed at the development of a novel stem cell-based therapeutic approach for the inherited neurodegenerative disease Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA). FRDA is caused by a genetic mutation within a gene called frataxin (FXN). Frataxin protein is involved in energy production in the mitochondria of human cells. This mutation, a GAA•TTC triplet-repeat expansion, causes gene silencing, resulting in an insufficiency of frataxin protein in affected individuals. Current therapeutic approaches for FRDA are aimed at restoring mitochondrial function, frataxin replacement or gene activation, and will at best slow or stop the progression of the disease without correcting existing neurological symptoms. Using recently developed gene manipulation methods, we will excise or correct the trinucleotide repeats from the FXN gene in FRDA patient stem cells (induced pluripotent stem cells). We will demonstrate that the corrected genes are active and produce normal levels of frataxin protein. Corrected FRDA stem cells will be differentiated into neurons in the laboratory, and the neurons will be tested for restoration of energy production in cells. Collaborative studies will focus on delivery of corrected neurons into FRDA mouse models to establish efficacy in reversing neurological symptoms.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Our efforts are aimed at development of novel stem cell-based therapeutics for a class of inherited neurological diseases, called triplet-repeat neurodegenerative diseases, which include Huntington's disease, the spinocerebellar ataxias, forms of muscular dystrophy, Fragile X syndrome and Friederich's ataxia (FRDA). These diseases, although relatively rare compared to cancer or heart disease, affect thousands of individuals in California. Recent advances now make it possible to generate induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from affected individuals and differentiate these cells into cell types that are at risk in these diseases (such as neurons, heart, and muscle cells), We will use state-of-the-art genetic manipulation methods to correct the causative mutation in FRDA iPSCs, and show that the corrected gene now functions normally. Neurons will be generated from these genetically corrected cells and used for transplantation into mouse models of FRDA. Restoration of neurological function in these animals will provide a proof of principal that such cells should be used in human clinical trials. Our studies may yield a new therapeutic approach for these currently untreatable disorders, which will be of benefit to patients suffering from these diseases, both in California and worldwide.
Review Summary:
This application for a Development Candidate Award is focused on a gene-corrected induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived therapy for Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA). FRDA is an inherited neurodegenerative disease caused by a genetic mutation in the frataxin gene. The applicant proposes to transplant gene-corrected iPSC-derived neurons into the cerebellum, the main site of neurodegeneration. There are six Milestones proposed: 1) to develop molecular tools for frataxin gene correction; 2) to screen these tools for activity in FRDA patient cells; 3) to identify optimal methods for iPSC derivation; 4) to confirm that genetic correction of the frataxin gene results in functional gene expression; 5) to differentiate gene-corrected FRDA iPSCs into neuronal cells and test their function in vitro; and 6) to test the function of these neuronal cells in vivo by transplant into a mouse model of FRDA. Objective and Milestones - The proposal is not at an appropriate stage for a Development Candidate Award. It is unlikely that a therapeutic candidate ready for IND-enabling studies will emerge from this project in three years. - The Target Product Profile provides a clear description of the ultimate product, plans to achieve therapeutic efficacy and essential safety issues. The applicant recognizes the importance of establishing an optimal cell dose. Rationale and Significance - The proposed target for cell replacement therapy is the cerebellum, which is only one region of pathology in FRDA. Reviewers noted that cardiomyopathy is often a cause of early death in FRDA patients and suggested that multiple systems may require rescue in this disease. - FRDA is the most common inherited ataxia, affecting roughly 1:40,000 individuals. There are currently no effective therapies, and so this proposal, if successful, could have a significant impact on the disease. Research Project Feasibility and Design - The major deficiency in the research plan is the lack of preliminary data demonstrating the feasibility of frataxin gene correction. Without these data it is impossible to predict whether the project will progress successfully. - There will be considerable preclinical work required in animal models even after gene correction is achieved. The in vivo efficacy of the cell product will be tested in neonatal mice, a stage likely to be more conducive to functional integration of transplanted cells into the host circuitry than later stages appropriate for intervention in human patients. - The preliminary data do not include a description of previous work with an animal model of FRDA. - The research plan is complicated but comprehensive and technically detailed. In vitro assays and quality control methods are established and well described. Meaningful success criteria are included for each milestone. - Additional detail describing the design of the animal studies would have been helpful. For example, how behavioral data will be measured and interpreted, how many animals and what cell doses will be used and alternative approaches should outcomes be suboptimal. Qualification of the PI (Co-PI and Partner PI, if applicable) and Research Team - The research team consists of excellent investigators with complementary and synergistic expertise. - The Principal Investigator (PI) has a strong background in molecular and cellular biology and has been working on FRDA for a number of years. The Co-PI is a leader in the gene manipulation methods proposed in the application. - The Partner PI has expertise in human pluripotent stem cell development to treat neurodegenerative disease. Collaborations, Assets, Resources and Environment - The collaborative nature of the proposed project is a key strength and builds on the synergistic expertise of the team. - The investigators have well-equipped laboratories and the full support of the PI's institution. Responsiveness to the RFA - The proposal is responsive to the RFA. Human stem cells are necessary to achieve the outcomes of the proposed research, a clear disease target is identified, and no other projects in CIRM's translational portfolio target this disease.
