remember yugi vs pegasus how yugi switched consciousnesses at will with yami to trick pegasus' precog/mindreading ability? the same applies to sharingan. i mean how can you predict what one is going to do if they keep switching between two minds? secondly, i think most of the belief that naruto cant beat itachi and madara comes from the fact they have an experience/intelligence edge. well if naruto switches to an obviously intelligent THOUSAND YEAR OLD DEMON whos been in countless wars and seen so many powerful abilities firsthand...that removes that weakness. now naruto has no weaknesses. besides the obvious mortality.
third, he can give allies chakra and seemingly restore them to full power in an instant. this is broken only in team fights but at the same time its incredibly useful. kakashi has effectively unlimited kami as long as kurama can touch him, itachi has decent longevity. basically anyone with bad stamina or a draining ultimate technique, is now without that weakness.

Almost a dozen guns and other valuables were taken from a home in Pembroke.
There are no leads as to who did this or why, and now items that have been in the family for nearly half a century may be long gone.
Joey Ellis and his wife came home earlier this week to find a burglar had pried open their front door.
"She noticed all of our change, our television was gone, her laptop and they stole 11 guns," said Ellis. "They stole all of our guns. Two of my guns, one is 40 years old and one is 30, One of the guns is my wife's and it was actually probably 50 years old."
The couple lives right off Ga. Hwy 119 in Pembroke but the thieves were able to ransack the home in broad daylight without ever being noticed.
"This is a big deal," said Ellis. "This is 11 guns missing that can threaten peoples lives. They are a part of my wife's family history and now they are gone."
Ellis has visited several pawn shops to see if his cherished items may have been cashed in, but has had no success.
"They can keep most guns, the jewelry, the TV but the guns is what is bothering us the most because that is a family heirloom that went down from her family generation and my side of the family. They also stole my wife's class ring. That is a once in a lifetime thing."
Now he feels unsafe in his own home and plans on installing a security system to prevent this from happening again.
"Don't know if I will ever get them back," said Ellis. "My wife is not safe anymore. It just feels like you're not safe if you cant leave your guns at your house. There is just an emptiness."
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Bryan Co. Sheriff's Office immediately.

In this fundamental visual composition course, students learn the primary elements and principles of visual language, and are introduced to a range of formal and conceptual problems which become increasingly complex as the course progresses. Students are challenged to explore core design principles of visual organization in unique and challenging ways, and to gain the ability to problem-solve through ideation processes, group dialogue, perceptual refinement and skill management. Developing analytical skills and the ability to effectively engage in an on-going process of critique are also core components of the course. Design1 involves the planning and organization of the parts within a whole, through a sense of experimentation, risk taking and discovery. This course focuses primarily on two-dimensional forms but also gradually introduces three-dimensional forms. Material exploration and the development of strong manual skills in regard to visual acuity and craft sensitivity are a key aspect of every assignment. Knowledge and skills gained in concurrent Foundation program areas such as color, drawing and digital skills are fundamental for communicating ideas and are reinforced in Design 1. Offered fall.

Texas A&M has not played Georgia since joining the SEC. This is due to scheduling, of course, as not all teams from the West play all teams from the East.
Kevin Sumlin became the Aggies' coach two years ago, the same year the program joined the SEC, and has therefore never coached against the Bulldogs. Yet he felt compelled to send Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray, who recently had surgery to repair a torn ACL, a Get Well Soon note, which was very kind.
Thanks @CoachSumlin for the letter. Much respect to you and your program. Good luck in the bowl game http://t.co/ATdwf3qXWV—
Aaron Murray (@aaronmurray11) December 20, 2013
Murray finished his college career as the SEC's all-time leading passer with 13,166 yards and 121 touchdowns. He will miss the Gator Bowl against Nebraska on Jan. 1, but is hopeful to compete in Georgia's Pro Day this spring.

Headteachers: 'Learning shouldn't end at half past three'
A new guide from the (NAHT) and the Family Action charity urges parents to get involved in their son or daughter's schooling by helping out on school trips and in class, taking in an interest in their child's education.
It also recommends attending parents' evenings, reading information sent by their child's school and keeping teachers informed of any changes at home.They said is based on the latest evidence about what helps children to succeed at school.
– NAHT president Bernadette Hunter
Learning shouldn't end at half past three.
There are hundreds of activities that can be enjoyed by families that will help children to be better learners and show them the links between learning at school and applying this in real-life situations.
It suggests that parents could take their children to visit museums and libraries, go for a walk in a wood or pond dipping, plant seeds, make a tent, model, picture of collage, or plan a route using maps, a compass or GPS.

UKC Russell Terrier Standard Changes
On November 1, 2005 the U.K.C. Russell Terrier standard changed. Some of the new standard changes included: HEAD - The head is proportionate to the size of the body. When viewed from the front, it should resemble a triangle. The muzzle is slightly shorter than the skull and is joined by a defined stop. The planes of the skull and muzzle are parallel. SKULL - The skull should be slightly rounded, but not apple or domed. Cheeks are well developed... The original standard text, pertaining to the same areas: The head is proportionate to the size of the body. When viewed from the side, the muzzle is slightly shorter than the skull and joined by a definite stop. The planes of the skull and muzzle are parallel. SKULL - The skull is flat and moderately broad, tapering slightly toward the muzzle. Cheeks are well developed. MUZZLE - The muzzle is strong with powerful, muscular jaws. There is a minimum of falling away under the eye, giving a moderately chiseled look. Lips are tight and darkly pigmented. The F.C.I. Standard: HEAD CRANIAL REGION : Skull : The skull should be flat and of moderate width gradually decreasing in width to the eyes and tapering to a wide muzzle. Stop : Well defined but not over pronounced. FACIAL REGION : Nose : Black. Muzzle : The length from the stop to the nose should be slightly shorter than from the stop to the occiput. The U.S. is the only country using a different standard from those countries recognizing the 10-12\" slightly longer than tall Jack Russell Terrier. Do you want the U.K.C.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Drug makers say they have worked hard on public service programs and messages about the dangers of prescription painkiller abuse.
A spokesman for Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of the powerful painkiller Oxycontin, says the company has long used public service announcements to educate the public about painkiller addiction.
PhRMA (FAR'-mah), a trade group that represents several drug companies, says it also has worked on drug education efforts for years.
The drug makers were responding to comments Tuesday by White House drug czar Gil Kerlikowskie (kur-lih-KOW'-skee) that drug makers need to do more to pay for public service announcements in the fight against painkiller abuse.

The Engaged Workplace: 3 Tips To Make Your Job Better
August 23, 2011 | Posted By: Brent Shelton | Categorized in: FatWallet
Unless you own a business or youre a high-level manager, you most likely dont think about employee engagement as a daily task or something you can initiate. Successful employee engagement can be the foundation of a successful company and, it can make your job a much more rewarding experience feel a little less like work.
There are a few elements of this engagement Ive learned working here at FatWallet that I will take with me should we ever part ways. In fact, FatWallet was just nominated as one of the 50 Most Engaged Workplaces in America. Like me, my coworkers are very proud of this and thankful to have this kind of knowledge. Its more than work, its a place we all want to be.
Here are a three things Ive learned that you can start implementing (or suggest), that should really help build an exciting engaged workplace.
SHARE - We live in a very competitive world and often times sharing means
giving up your edge, or so we think. Actually, sharing knowledge that can help a coworker get through a tricky task keeps workflow moving smoothly, and gives you stature among your peers. Managers recognize this and often will reward you for showing leadership qualities. Try (or suggest) creating a quick daily huddle where these stucks can be communicated and often times weeded out with a quick brainstorm. Better to engage and fix them before they become your problem.
CELEBRATE - It shouldnt just be the managers exercise to acknowledge when someone does something extraordinary at work. This is a feel good op for all and we can take something good away from admiring accomplishments. Try (or suggest) creating some kind of visual award. It doesnt have to be extravagant or costly. At FatWallet we give value stickers to recognize coworkers exhibiting our company core values in action. This peer-to-peer recognition can be a most coveted reward.
LEARN - Engagement is also about taking initiative to engage yourself in what you do. Its reaching beyond daily tasks and challenging yourself to raise the bar. Technology is ever evolving with new tactics and tools to make us smarter and more productive. Its your job to know what these are. Try learning new things and taking more initiative to engage in training tutorials that will make you more informed. Be in the know. In turn, youll like your
job better because youve not only made it easier,
but more rewarding.
For most of us, getting that paycheck is what we have to do, but its way better when its also something we want to do.

KFAN.com's 20 Questions: June-in-review
haven't seen this here yet... Some good stuff...
20 Questions: June-in-review
Last Update: 6/16/2004 8:46:32 AM
KFAN dot com
The Vikings wrapped up offseason practices Tuesday with the last of 10 developmental camp practices at Winter Park. With the training camp six weeks away, KFAN dot com already is set to play a game: 20 Questions.
1. Who has improved the most in the offseason?
Head coach Mike Tice maintains that wide receiver-cum-return specialist Keenan Howry has taken the biggest strides in the offseason, but one can't ignore the progress of offensive tackle Adam Haayer. One of two O-lineman on the practice squad in 2003, Haayer has gotten stronger and quicker, and seems to grasp the team's blocking schemes better than the other reserves.
2. But is Howry really that much better?
Keenan looked outstanding during camp, but most players appear quicker without pads, for obvious reasons. The Oregon alum appears to have improved his route-running ability – and will see action on offense in addition to playing as the starting punt returner this season, according to Tice – by keeping his body low and simplifying his footwork . Current No. 4 receiver Kelly Campbell is injury-prone, and the coaching staff will give Howry every opportunity to back up the position.
3. What was the biggest non-story in June?
The signing of "veteran†linebacker Merrill Robertson, a 6-foot-1, 248-pound ex-Eagle with zero game experience who has virtually no chance of making the team. He was signed as the nearest warm body but is far too slow to compete in Ted Cottrell's scheme.
4. Have the Vikings drastically altered their offense?
Few significant changes were evident in June, but the Vikings experimented extensively with using an H-back as a third man in the shotgun backfield.
5. What was the strangest situation of training camp?
Cornerback Eric Kelly became angry over his demotion on the depth chart – for a single day in June – and demanded his release. Tice gave the fourth-year veteran two days off, but Kelly never came back. He has not been released by the club, but that move appears inevitable later this week.
6. Which undrafted rookies have the best shots to win a roster spot in Mankato?
Wide receiver Lane Danielson, guard Anthony Herrera and linebacker Grant Wiley made strong statements in developmental camp. Danielson and Wiley also could earn a spot on special teams.
7. Which veterans will enter training camp on the proverbial hotseat?
About a dozen guys could fall in this category, but the most prominent candidates for the cut sheet are linebacker Raonall Smith, wide receiver Kenny Clark and defensive end Billy Lyon.
8. Raonall Smith is still on the team?
Yep, and he might be the most unique case of any player. He has the physical tools to compete in the NFL and showed flashes during this month's practices, but his durability, dedication and mentals remain huge question marks. There is a small chance that Smith could play his way into a starting job if certain courtroom concerns arise, but he more likely will find himself among the final cuts. The real question is, how much responsibility can the Vikings trust to a player who has been known to miss entire weeks of practice with a tender hamstring?
9. And these legal issues you speak of…?
Minneapolis police have yet to formally press charges against linebackers E.J. Henderson and Mike Nattiel, and tight end Steve Farmer for their roles an alleged assault outside a nightclub June 6. Charges will be pressed soon, according to team sources, although their impact on the seasons of Henderson and Nattiel – if any – remains unclear. Farmer, who has had two surgeries to repair a torn ACL and was expected to miss training camp even before the alleged incident, almost surely will be released.
10. Randy Moss' foot…what ever happened with that?
The wide receiver, whose nagging plantar fasciitis became a hot topic during the team's May minicamp, parcipated in every June practice. He said Tuesday the foot injury has not hampered him in weeks. He will continue to wear orthopedic insoles in his shoes to protect the foot.
11. How healthy is the team as a whole?
Wide receiver Blake Elliott broke his leg during the first week of developmental camp and Nattiel suffered a high-ankle sprain Monday morning. Beyond those two injuries (Nattiel's is not considered serious) the Vikings stayed healthy over three weeks of formal practice.
12. How are the local kids faring so far?
Elliott (Melrose) has sewn up a roster spot – but it's on the injured reserve. Wide receiver Ben Nelson (Anoka) spent the spring in NFL Europe and must make an impact on special teams to make the team. Tackle Adam Goldberg (Edina) struggled throughout June and still appears too soft to play at the pro level. Safety Ben Nauman (Rochester) is stuck at a deep position and appears a likely first-cut candidate.
13. How did the rest of the Europe league players fare?
Well, tight end Kane Anderson already has been released, but the others did well for themselves. Cornerback Horace Willis played well with the Rhein Fire, while former 'U' receiver Jermaine Mays excelled as a defensive back for the World Bowl XII-champion Berlin Thunder. Mays' best shot at the roster probably is as a kick-blocking specialist.
14. Is the kicking situation already set?
More or less. Diminuitive rookie Dan Orner won't challenge incumbent kicker Aaron Elling, although the club is expected to bring in a low-level veteran to give Elling an extra push in Mankato. Punter Eddie Johnson, who lost his starting job last December, looked great during the final two weeks of developmental camp, but the coaching staff is reluctant to keep him over former Pro Bowler Darren Bennett.
15. What was the ugliest on-field sight during June?
Backup guard Lewis Kelly learning to play center. His attempts to snap in the shotgun – most of which sailed over the head of center/teacher Cory Withrow – drew uncontrollable laughs from several observers. Kelly lacked experience at the position, but took baby steps throughout June.
16. All seven draft picks made last year's roster. Will the eight members of the 2004 class continue that tradition?
Probably not. Depth at several positions will place several draft picks in peril. Fourth-round tackle Nat Dorsey probably will hang around, but he may have regressed slightly from May to June. The Vikings' fifth-rounder, linebacker Rod Davis, appears a step slow and cannot keep his balance when engaged by a blocker. Sixth-round safety Deandre' Eiland must make the club on special teams, or perhaps steal action in dime coverage. Tight end Jeff Dugan, the team's seventh-round pick out of Maryland, also is stuffed at a deep position, but will have the opportunity to beat out veterans Sean Berton and Richard Angulo for a reserve role.
17. Might the Vikings add another free agent before training camp?
Tice and company maintain that they are happy with the current roster, but wouldn't mind upgrading several backups. Most notably, the club is not comfortable with backup middle linebacker Max Yates, especially with Henderson's legal and health problems.
18. Will Kenny Mixon's rumored suspension ever be finalized?
The NFL should hand down the suspension, most likely for the first four games this season, before training camp. But Mixon still claims the league has cleared him of any rules violations stemming from his DUI arrest last November. The club has contingency plans in place, most likely inserting Chuck Wiley at left end and accelerating the ascension of top draft pick Kenechi Udeze on the right side.
19. Which reserves have the best chance of usurping a starter in Mankato?
Safeties Willie Offord or Tyrone Carter could unseat Brian Russell if Russell fails to show improvement in man coverage and run support.
20. What's the schedule for the remainder of the offseason?
The coaching staff will meet Thursday to evaluate the roster, then will take off about a month from work. Many players will continue their participation in the team's offseason workout program at Winter Park. Coaches will reconvene two weeks before training camp to prepare playbooks and complete other camp-related preparations. Players report to training camp July 29.

Law of the Jungle (eBook)
Law of the Jungle (eBook)
"Truth be told, they were mostly in it for the money"
On February 13, 2003, a plane carrying three American military contractors on a recon patrol crash-landed in the jungle-covered mountains of Colombia. Within minutes, FARC guerrillas swarmed the wreckage and killed the American pilot and a Colombian crew member as they tried to escape. The survivors—Marc Gonsalves, Keith Stansell, and Thomas Howes—were marched at gunpoint into the rain forest. They would live in constant darkness under the jungle canopy as they faced starvation, fights with fellow hostages, and threats of execution—often with their necks shackled together.
The Colombian government sent 147 soldiers to rescue the Americans. Led by a bold yet corpulent lieutenant, the troops spent weeks subsisting on monkey meat and Amazon rodents as they chased the guerrillas deeper into the jungle. But then a soldier on a bathroom break stuck his machete into the ground and pulled out 20 million pesos, equaling $7,000. Pretty soon, the young, poor, and exhausted troops realized they had stumbled upon a buried rebel cache of $20 million. Within three days, the GIs burned through their newfound fortune, splurging on booze, sex, and flat-screen televisions. And though the money brought pleasure, for many of the soldiers it would end in criminal prosecution or even death by FARC hit men.
Law of the Jungle places the Colombian hostage story in its full context by exploring the inner workings of the FARC, the U.S.-backed war on drugs, and Colombia's efforts to free the rebel-held prisoners. John Otis, a veteran journalist on the Latin American beat, spins an edge-of-your-seat adventure narrative that offers a shocking cautionary tale about the pursuit of fortune in one of the world's most dangerous places.
About the Author
John Otis has worked as a reporter in Latin America for more than two decades, and served for eight years as South America Bureau Chief for the Houston Chronicle. He now reports from Colombia for Time magazine, GlobalPost, and the BBC/PRI radio program The World, and he lives in BogotÁ.
Praise for Law of the Jungle…
"Amazing...Mesmerizing....[John] Otis has assembled a yarn that would make a magical realist blush, complete with outlandish characters, tragicomic twists of fate, and far-flung deeds of derring-do.... Riveting."
-Boston Globe
-New York Post
"Law of the Jungle is a well-reported, highly informative account of the chase, which was undertaken largely by the Colombian army....[A] thriller-opera of a story....Otis's story rises beyond ordinary reporting: He manages to condense recent Colombian history into a clear, digestible narrative."
-Washington Post
"Gripping and funny...[Otis] tells an amazing story in his first book....Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell were finally freed during the summer of 2008, and Otis tells their story in the sort of rich detail you'd expect of an experienced print journalist."
-Minneapolis Star Tribune
"With its Conradian atmosphere of jungle-induced madness and an immediacy stemmingfrom interviews with many of the participants, this will engage all..."
"An impossible-to-put-down read with as many twists and turns as a summer blockbuster.... Otis, a journalist who has worked in Latin America for more than 20 years, skillfully weaves this incredible tale of attempted—and eventually successful—rescue by Colombian soldiers....Fascinating."
-Very Short List
"Has the feel of a John Huston movie, with its mix of tragedy, intrigue, black comedy and, ultimately, heroism....fascinating.

Editor's note: Leonard Autie died in Paris on March 24, 1820. Click here to read more about Will Bashor's Marie Antoinette's Head (Lyons Press), a book Kirkus Reviews calls "An informative examination of a little-known player on a great stage. An entertaining, well-researched work."
Leonard Autie, hairdresser to Marie Antoinette, would have been trained in the art of hairdressing in southern France in the mid 1760's. It is documented that he practiced his craft in Montpellier and Bordeaux, but his creative genius was unable to win over the matronly bourgeois ladies of these provincial cities. To find his fame and fortune, the young coiffeur then journeyed to Paris on foot, arriving in 1769 with nothing but a tortoise shell comb in his pocket and a "big bundle of vanity."
The question arises, if hairdressing was highly regulated by the Parisian guild, what was Leonard's competitive advantage over the master hairdressers of the capital city at the time. To answer this, we begin with the theory behind l'art de coiffure.
According to the manuals of the guild, hairdressers first learned that cutting hair was the science of giving natural hair its form by removing irregularities in length and cropping in stages, all the while enhancing the face—
the true art of the hairdresser.[1] Therefore, to practice hairdressing the coiffeur would first cut the hair according to the client's features and then finish by curling and powdering.
Cutting the HairThe professional (male) coiffeur would start by combing the entire head of hair thoroughly to remove any tangles. Then using his wood, tortoise shell or gold comb (Fig. 1), he would begin at the top of the head and comb one portion or row of hair at a time, combing gently straight down or to the side, depending on whether the hair was to be cut straight or angled. When the comb was near the end of the hair, the hair was cut underneath the comb with half-closed scissors (Fig 2). Cutting the hair to the desired length was continued with the rest of the hair, but the top rows of hair were required to be shorter than the lower rows.
(Note: When styling a wig, one would follow the same rules that govern natural hair. Care had to be taken not to cut the wig too short so that it could completely cover all the natural hair below. Also, it was necessary to cut the hair und
erneath the wig to avoid any unpleasant thickness or bumpiness. Since there were no precise rules for wigs, the coiffeur relied on his best judgment when styling them.)
Curling the HairAfter the hair was properly cut, one ordinarily wrapped the hair in curling papers, heated the packets with curling arms, and finished with powder. However, this process required special instruments and materials which were used in a certain order and manner.
First, small pieces of paper were cut into small triangles, preferably using gray paper or blotting paper because they tear easily. Gathering a small portion of the hair with the comb and holding it with the first two fingers of one hand around the middle, the coiffeur would then roll the hair in a curl and immediately envelope it with the curling paper. This was the loop curl (Fig. 3).
Another type of curl was the crepe (Fig. 4), which was preferable for short hair on the top of the head. The crepe was created by taking the strand of hair and twisting it in the curling paper to avoid the hole found in the middle of the loop curl.
Once the whole head was covered with rolling papers, it was time to use the curling irons. The coiffeur used two kinds of curling irons. One was a clip with two flat jaws of equal thickness (Fig. 5), and the other resembled scissors (Fig. 6). The irons were heated in the fire, not on the coals. The desired temperature was achieved if the iron did not scorch a curling paper or by testing the heat near the cheek. When ready, the curling papers with hair were heated by the iron for a few moments. Another iron would be heated while curling since the irons did not hold their heat too long.[2] With a full head of curling papers, it was necessary to heat several irons.
Once the curling papers were all cooled, they were removed and all the locks of curled hair were then combed together. Then the coiffeur would ordinarily gracefully arrange the curls around the forehead and the temples. If needed, the curling iron resembling scissors was used to reinforce any unwieldy curls.
If the hair appeared too thick in places, it was necessary to thin it by holding several strands of hair with the fingers and cutting them near the roots with the slightly-opened sciss
ors. This would give a light and pleasing appearance to the curly hair. For hair that appeared too unwieldy, strong pomade, the best being beechnut wax, was mixed with a touch of powder, melted in the hands, and applied to the roots of the hair to give it consistency.
Powdering the HairOnce the curls were arranged to satisfaction, the only task left was to powder the hair. The best powder for the hair was made of wheat flour and was kept in an iron cup or sheepskin pouch (Figs. 7 and 8).
The best puffs used to powder hair were made with long bristles from the top of the heads of geese (Fig. 9). To powder, the coiffeur coated his hands with pomade and lightly waxed the curls. Then he lightly dipped his puff in the powder; this small quantity was sufficient for dusting the hair and highlighting the cut and curls.
For fear that the clients would get powder on their face and in their eyes, the coiffeur took the precaution of protecting them with a mask (Fig. 10).
Leonard, the revered hairdresser of Marie Antoinette, did read these manuals and did practice the prescribed art de coiffeur like any other hairdresser in Paris, but he went a step further to take the art to the extreme. By adding yards of gauze, flowers, and heron feathers and by creating scaffolds of wire to raise the towering hairdos with horsehair, Leonard created magic that captivated the queen of Versailles and all of Europe.

Game Three of the 1932 World Series between the Cubs and Yankees stood locked at 4-4. Some 50,000 fans had gathered at Wrigley Field that bright October day, but above their roar Ruth heard insults pouring from the Cubs' dugout. He watched a fastball from Cubs pitcher Charlie Root set the count at 2-2. Agitated, the Bambino made a gesture, holding out two fingers—but what did it mean? Lou Gehrig heard him call out: "I'm going to knock the next one down your goddamn throat." Then the game's greatest showman pounded Root's next pitch. The ball whizzed past the centerfield scoreboard and began its long journey into history. In an instant, the legend of the Called Shot was born, the debate about what Ruth actually did still dividing fans and sports historians alike more than 80 years later. Deftly placing the homer in the social and economic contexts of the time, Chicago sportswriter Ed Sherman gives us the first full-length, in-depth look at one of baseball's most celebrated and enduring moments—including the incredible stories of two hand-held videos taken by fans and rediscovered decades later—and answers the question: Did Ruth really call his shot?

"Harriet Tuckey's gripping account finally establishes her father's role as the difference between triumph and failure, and the man himself as the real hero of the expedition."- The Daily Mail (UK)"Marvelously enjoyable and exciting...poignant." - The Times
"Shines an entirely new light on the great expedition - a riveting read, f
ull of surprises" - Sir Chris Bonington"A most remarkable work about a perfectly extraordinary man. I much admire it." - Jan Morris
"The most important addition to the story of Everest" - Doug Scott'Superb...this compulsively readable and data-rich book is a tribute to a very distinguished applied physiologist of extraordinary vision, ability, energy and tenacity" - Craig Sharp, Emeritus Professor of Sports Science, Centre for Sports Medicine and Human Performance, Brunel University
"Moving...meticulously researched...New insights that will set many people thinking again of the great achievement...This book should help to set the record straight...Superb..." John West, Distinguished Professor of Medicine and Physiology, University of California, San Diego
"This is a book for our times. It should be read by anyone who wants to understand how the extremism that stalks our world is created and how it can be overcome. It could only be written by someone who has lived this story. And Maajid has." --Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair
Available now as an ebook from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Maajid Nawaz spent his teenage years listening to American hip-hop and learning about the radical Islamist movement spreading throughout Europe and Asia in the 1980s and 90s. At 16, he was already a ranking member in Hizb ut-Tahrir, a London-based Islamist group. He quickly rose through the ranks to become a top recruiter, a charismatic spokesman for the cause of uniting Islam's political power across the world. Nawaz was setting up satellite groups in Pakistan, Denmark, and Egypt when he was rounded up in the aftermath of 9/11 along with many other radical Muslims.
He was sent to an Egyptian prison where he was, fortuitously, jailed along with the assassins of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The 20 years in prison had changed the assassins' views on Islam and violence; Maajid went into prison prea
ching to them about the Islamist cause, but the lessons ended up going the other way. He came out of prison four years later completely changed, convinced that his entire belief system had been wrong, and determined to do something about it.
He met with activists and heads of state, built a network, and started a foundation, Quilliam, funded by the British government, to combat the rising Islamist tide in Europe and elsewhere. He began an activist group in Pakistan as well, using his intimate knowledge of recruitment tactics in order to reverse extremism and persuade Muslims that the "narrative" used to recruit them (that the West is evil and th e cause of all of Muslim suffering), is false. Radical, first published in the U.K., is a fascinating and important look into one man's journey out of extremism and into something else entirely.
This new edition contains a "Preface for U.S. Readers" and an updated epilogue.

Treatises on the Sacraments (Tracts by John Calvin)
from Keith Mathison Nov 17, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsRecent years have witnessed a renewed interest in the sacramental theology of John Calvin. A number of studies have been published, but unfortunately until now it has been difficult for many interested readers to find access to many of the relevant writings of Calvin on the subject. His commentaries and his Institutes of the Christian Religion have long remained in print, but many other important tracts and treatises have remained buried in long out of print and obscure volumes. With the re-publication of Treatises on the Sacraments, this problem has been resolved to a large degree. Keep Reading
The Evolution Controversy
from Keith Mathison Nov 04, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsThere are few topics that are the source of greater controversy (at least in the United States) than the topic of evolution. Evolution is the source of controversy within churches, schools, the halls of government, and even popular culture. Over 150 years after the publication of Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, this controversy shows no signs of slowing. For Christians seeking to get a grasp on the complexities of the controversy, the number of books and articles defending and critiquing various views can often become overwhelming. Keep Reading

God-Centered Evangelism
from Keith Mathison Oct 29, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsIf I have heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times: "A Calvinist evangelist? Isn't that an oxymoron? Calvinism undermines evangelism." This accusation has been repeated so many times that few make the effort to argue it. Instead, it is simply assumed. Never mind that some of the church's greatest evangelists have been Calvinists. One need only be reminded of men such as George Whitefield, David Brainerd, or "the father of modern missions," William Carey. "Yes," we are told, "these men were great evangelists and Calvinists, but that is because they were inconsistent." But is this true? Keep Reading
The Lord's Supper: Eternal Word in Broken Bread
from Keith Mathison Oct 20, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsAs Dr. Robert Letham points out in the Introduction to his new book on the Lord's Supper, one of the most striking differences between the Reformation era and our own day is our modern neglect of the Lord's Supper. This doctrine, which was the single most discussed theological topic during the sixteenth century, is virtually ignored today. One may easily find numerous volumes debating various aspects of baptism, but there are very few good modern works on the sacrament of the Lord's Supper. Letham's small work is a good step in the right direction toward the resolution of this unfortunate state of affairs. Keep Reading

2010 Ligonier Pastors Conference - R.C. Sproul (I)
from Keith Mathison Oct 12, 2010 Category: EventsR.C. Sproul opened the 2010 Pastors Conference speaking on one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. We are looking at the Nicene Creed's description of the church as one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. A cynic might suggest that it is hard to imagine how the contemporary church could be described as such. Our church today is fragmented. There is dissention. The cynic would say that there is anything but unity, sanctity, catholicity, and apostolicity. Instead, the church is fragmented, corrupt, parochial, and modernistic. Keep Reading
Doctrine of the Church: Recommended Reading
from Keith Mathison Oct 12, 2010 Category: ArticlesIn the Nicene Creed, orthodox believers confess their belief in "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church." And as Calvin said, echoing the church fathers, the church is the "mother of all the godly." In our day, the church has sometimes been seen as something optional, something irrelevant. The church, however, is the bride of Christ, and we must begin again to view the church in the way Christ viewed her, in the way Scripture views her. Keep Reading
From Paradise to the Promised Land
from Keith Mathison Oct 08, 2010 Category: Book ReviewsThe five books of the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) are foundational books of the canon. Without at least some understanding of the teaching of these books, it is next to impossible to understand fully the remaining books of the Bible. Keep Reading
Doctrine of Salvation: Recommended Reading
from Keith Mathison Oct 05, 2010 Category: ArticlesWhen Paul and Silas were thrown into jail in Philippi, the jailer asked them: "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Paul and Silas answered: "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household" (Acts 16:30-31). Our Father sent His only begotten Son into the world to save us sinners (John 3:17). This precious truth is something we must understand clearly. In systematic theology, the study of the doctrine of salvation is termed "soteriology." Keep Reading


text: The NFL suspended Buccaneers FS Tanard Jackson indefinitely without pay for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, and we hear there is no guarantee he still will be with the team on Sept. 22, 2011, when his suspension is supposed to end. He was suspended for the first four games of last season for violating the same policy. Judgment is clearly an issue for Jackson, who is considered one of the finest young safeties in the league. Some observers have called him a Pro Bowl-caliber talent. "It's up to Tanard whether the team and our fans eventually realize his considerable promise," GM Mark Dominik said in a statement. The Bucs could decide to select a free safety early in next year's draft and part ways with Jackson, who will not become a free agent until after next season. Tampa Bay will start rookie Cody Grimm, a seventh-round pick, at free safety in Week Three.

Following Jack Moates' injury earlier this year, Dai Young has added to his options at scrum half with the signing of Brett Sheehan from the Western Force until the end of the 2013/14 season.
Sheehan, who has seven Australian caps to his name, will join up with the squad next week. The physical scrum half joined the Western Force in 2010 after six seasons with New South Wales Warratahs and made his last appearance for his country in 2012.
On the signing, Director of Rugby Dai Young said "We have been operating with only two first team scrum halves in recent weeks, which cleary isn't enough. To be able to bring in someone with the experience that Brett has is brilliant. We have two talented young scrum halves here in Joe Simpson and Charlie Davies so Brett brings a great balance to that group and I have no doubt that his experience will be a benefit for those two, as well as Jack Moates as he continues his recovery from injury."
On the signing Brett Sheehan said "Having played all of my club rugby in Australia, it is great for me to be able to go overseas and experience a different league and a different brand of rugby. Since the move was suggested to me, I have been impressed with what Dai Young and his team are doing at Wasps. The young players they have at the Club are very exciting and I hope that I can impart a bit of my experience during my time there; I can't wait to get going."

A 13 year old Kenmare boy who died weighing just 21 pounds died of chronic starvation due to juvenile appetite disorder.
A condition that was considered treatable.
That was the finding from an autopsy performed on the child.
His mother, Jessica Jensen is charged with murder in the case.
Her preliminary hearing was held today.
During that hearing, details of the scene investigators found on January 12th of this year were described by Laura Forbes of the Ward County Sheriff's Department.
One of the first to respond to the home that night after Jensen called 911 was a Kenmare police officer.
Forbes described what he found...
(Laura Forbes - Ward County Sheriff's Dept) "He stated when he arrived that Jessica was holding John Doe One and there was no emotion."
The living conditions at her home were described as cramped and filthy...with the bedroom of the 13 year old who passed away having a lock on the outside of the door -- and Forbes said it looked as though it was used.
The last time the boy had been seen by a doctor, was in 2008 according to Forbes.
Jensen's mother was interviewed by investigators.
She said that she told her daughter that the child needed to seen by medical professionals, even if it meant legal trouble for her...
(Laura Forbes - Ward County Sheriff's Dept) "And then her mother turned around and told her that it was better to get in trouble now then when he passes."
Jensen pleaded not guilty to the murder charge this morning.
Two people were shot by Minot Police officers in an early morning incident Saturday.
One has been released from the hospital, the other is still hospitalized.

How to manually remove BuddyPress registration & use WordPress Registration
I like BuddyPress for all its features except its member sign up. It's buggy even with the template pack and doesn't send registration emails when users try to sign up. Especially when i want to use Register Plus, what i know will work, and BuddyPress overwrites the default WordPress login, which Register Plus modifies. Im very frustrated and need someone to at least help me in the process of removing this without completely disabling BuddyPress.

The women took three seats on Lee's Summit City Council with Diane Seif, Diane Forte and Trish Carlyle winning their races.
Mayor Randy Rhoads, Councilman Dave Mosby and Municipal Judge Dana Altieri were unopposed in re-election bids. The winners will serve four-year terms. Ed Cockrell and Kathy Hofmann left office because of term limits and Brian Whitley chose not to seek reelection.
In 2002 there had been a woman mayor, Karen Messerli, and two councilwomen elected Christine Bushyhead and Tess Hurley. But not since 1992 have three women served who can regularly vote on ordinances at one time. (The mayor only votes when there is a tie on the council.) In 1992 Kay Ford, Deb Edwards and Messerli were on the Board of Aldermen and in 1993 Messerli, Chere Chaney and Kay Ford were serving.
Forte said she thought that she, Seif and Carlyle would "gel" together. She said each of them are at different points in their lives and bring a particular perspective to the council.
"I think the three of us will do a good job," Forte said. "I'm ready to jump right into the middle of it and hope the good stuff comes to the top."
Rhoads said he didn't think the new mix of gender is as important as the fact there are newcomers to the council.
"There will be new people there, so there will be a new dynamic," Rhoads said.
The newly elected council members are to be sworn in on April 24.
Forte, who won the District 1 seat with 997 votes to Robert Dye's 454 votes, said she was really thankful for the help of her campaign supporters. Dye said he thought newspaper coverage of the campaign distorted his views and undercut his support. He said reports of sign stealing inappropriately left an impression he was behind the thefts. He said he'd hoped to be able to serve the community, but with the outcome he'll have more time for hunting and fishing and activities he enjoys.
"I'm a winner either way," Dye said.
Seif in the District 3 race had 822 votes, beating Joseph Spallo who had 608 votes. Spallo had served four terms before sitting out one election cycle due to term limits.
Seif said she and her husband visited 1,025 homes and her campaign volunteers went to another 800. She said that working the polls Tuesday, voters told her, "It was when you actually came to our door that we knew we were going to vote for you," she said. Seif said that kind of personal touch is what's needed to win an election in Lee's Summit.
Seif said she hopes to have an influence on cooperation between council members as a lot of comments she'd heard during the campaign were regarding the council's interactions.
"I'm feeling extremely excited and challenged," Seif said. "It is exciting and at the same time makes you feel responsible to people you're going to represent."
Spallo did not return calls for comments.
Carlyle won a close three-way race with 658 votes, edging out Craig Faith who had 633 votes, both well ahead of Timothy Denker with 555 votes.
Carlyle said she and her volunteers had been working very hard.
"When people asked me how it was going, I said 'We'll find out in April if hard work pays off, because we've been working it hard.'"
Faith said he had great time campaigning and meeting people in the community, and it was a good race.
"We were really close, it is what it is," Faith said. "I plan to do is to get behind Trish for the good of the city."
Faith and Denker each said they intend to continue being active in the community as they had been before seeking office.
Carlyle said that having three women on the council "more equally represents the citizens of Lee's Summit, we'll have a lot of different perspectives coming to the table."

Thanks to the great help from people on this forum, I've gotten my app almost completely finished now, but there's one minor problem I'm still having - when running on device (C2-02, a touch screen phone, in this case), the browser's 'options' button (the one in the bottom left corner that you press to get the Exit button) seems to be creating an extra 30-40 pixels of blank space at the bottom of the app. Ie, if I have an empty body element with full screen height (320 pixels), there will be an extra gap at the bottom which the user can accidentally scroll down to.
Does anyone know if (ideally) there is a way to disable this button on a per-app basis, or, failing that, a way to stop this extra space being added to the bottom? At this point, I'm certain that it's the button that is causing this problem, as the gap always takes up the same space as the button, and I've tested with a completely empty <body> tag. I've had a look around, but I can't find anything that mentions it, so any help would be appreciated.

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases:
People over age 45 should be tested for prediabetes or diabetes. If the first blood glucose test is normal, they should be retested every 3 years.
People under age 45 should consider getting tested for prediabetes or diabetes if they have a body mass index (BMI) of greater than or equal to 25 kg/m2 and have 1 or more of the following risk factors:
Having a first-degree relative with diabetes (mother, father, or sibling)
Being a member of a high-risk ethnic group (African-American, Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Islander, or Native American)
Delivering a baby weighing more than 9 pounds, or having diabetes during pregnancy
Having blood pressure at or above 140/90 mm/Hg
Having abnormal blood fat levels, such as high-density lipoproteins (HDL) less than or equal to 35 mg/dL, or triglycerides greater than or equal to 250 mg/dL (mg/dL = milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood)
Having a sedentary lifestyle
Having impaired glucose tolerance when previously tested for diabetes
Having polycystic ovarian syndrome
A diagnosis of diabetes is made when any 1 of these tests is positive. The result may be confirmed by a second positive test on a different day:
A1C greater than or equal to 6.5%
Fasting plasma glucose of greater than or equal to 126 mg/dL
Casual plasma glucose (taken at any time of the day) of greater than or equal to 200 mg/dL with the symptoms of diabetes
Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) value of greater than or equal to 200 mg/dL. The OGTT is obtained 2 hours after a drink containing glucose has been consumed, which occurs after fasting for at least 8 hours.
Gestational diabetes may be diagnosed with 1 of 2 approaches:
A 75-gram glucose screening test, which involves drinking a glucose drink followed by measurement of the blood sugar level after 2 hours. This test is done at 24 to 28 weeks gestation.
A 50-gram glucose screening test, which is followed by a diagnostic 100-gram glucose tolerance test in those women whose blood sugar equals or exceeds 130 mg/dL 1 hour after the initial screening test
Consult your doctor regarding your wish to be screened for gestational diabetes.

Scunthorpe MP: Sell cigarettes in plain packaging
A North Lincolnshire MP has called on the Government to "follow the lead of their Australian counterparts" and force companies to sell cigarettes in plain packaging.
Cigarettes in Australia must now be sold in dark olive brown packets which are mostly covered in health warnings.
– Nic Dakin MP (Labour, Scunthorpe)
Australia is leading the way in stopping people from becoming addicted to a lethal and harmful product. If we care about the health of people in our community then we should introduce plain, standardised packs in the UK and help stop the next generation of smokers being recruited.
