Graduates honored at fall commencement
December 17, 2012
Bryan College honored 166 graduates Friday, December 14, during fall commencement exercises.
|MBA graduates turn their tassels during commencement.
In welcoming the graduates and their families, Bryan President Dr. Stephen Livesay acknowledged the massacre in a Connecticut school earlier that day. "As I was contemplating what happened, it brought to mind a condition in our society, a society that has lost its moral compass," he said. "I'm thankful for Bryan College and for its professors who have moorings grounded in the Word of God.
"There is only one hope for society, the unchanging Word of God. I pray each of you graduates will be part of the solution."
Dr. Glynn Stone, Jr., pastor of Mobberly Baptist Church in Longview, Texas, encouraged the graduates to heed God's call and let Him equip them for service.
The call of God is both personal and purposeful, he said. "He is pulling people out of a corrupt culture to make a difference in that culture. The call of God is practical. He has chosen men and the work they are to do. And the call is providential. Resumes and recommendations do not place us in divinely appointed positions. Your degree is more than an academic achievement, it is a supernatural work."
|Dr. Randy Hollingsworth and Yuri Lopez.
Yuri Lopez, who received a degree in exercise and health science, recounted her story of growing up in an orphanage in Honduras and how, through the efforts of Dr. Randy Hollingsworth and his family, was able to come to Bryan.
"Bryan College has been an encouragement to me, has helped me grow spiritually and academically," she said. "The faculty, staff, and students have been the family I never had. Because of all of you I know how to love better. Thank you, Bryan College, for giving me the past four years."
During the service, Carla Millsaps received the Degree Completion Research Award, for the outstanding research project in the degree completion program. Rachel Bailey was recognized for earning the highest scholastic record among graduates from the School of Arts and Sciences.

Lee Rigby's killers to be sentenced at the Old Bailey today
Updated 10:12am Wednesday 26th February 2014 in News By Melissa Hills, deputy news editor
THE two Muslim fanatics who murdered soldier Lee Rigby will be sentenced at the Old Bailey today.
Michael Adebolajo, 29, and Michael Adebowale, 22, mowed the young soldier down in a car before hacking him to death in front of horrified onlookers near Woolwich barracks in south-east London on May 22 last year.
They could face whole life jail terms after a key appeal court ruling last month found that the sentences can be used by UK judges.
Mr Justice Sweeney waited until after the decision to tell British-born Adebolajo and Adebowale their fate.
During their Old Bailey trial last year, Adebowale, from Greenwich, south-east London, offered no evidence in his defence, but Adebolajo, from Romford, Essex, gave a rambling testimony during which he told the jury he loved al Qaida.
He claimed that they were "soldiers of Allah" and had carried out the sickening killing as revenge for abuse of Muslims abroad.
They chose Fusilier Rigby, 25, as their victim because he was wearing a Help for Heroes hooded top that day, and they assumed he was a soldier.
After the pair were convicted at the Old Bailey in December, Adebolajo kissed his Koran and raised it into the air as he and his accomplice were led down to the cells.
Fusilier Rigby's family, who were praised for their dignity throughout the trial, welcomed the killers' convictions.
His mother Lyn said: "We are satisfied that justice has been served, but unfortunately no amount of justice will ever bring Lee back."

It baffles me why David Cameron still lists himself as a supporter of the UAF, and gives them state funding....
Leading the protests will probably be Michael Adebolajo's brother who still refuses to condemn the murder.

I graduated undergrad 5 years ago, back when we had a strong economy and I never thought I would need education references anymore. I kept in touch with a few professors for a couple years, but as the time went passed, so did my keeping up with the professors.
Fortunately, I have been keeping up with my grad school professors and directors. Not sure what I would have done if I did not have been in contact with them.
Moral of the story: Keep in touch with professors and other people you meet. You never know when you will need your network.
What are good ways to do this.
- Get contact information early: try to make a connection while you are still in class or working with them. Worst case, when people are leaving, it tends to get sentimental and is a good time to exchange email and other contact info.
- Follow up promptly: once you have someone's contact info, shoot them a quick email, nothing difficult here. Just one or two lines and mention something that you were connected over. This could be a joke, a class, a book, almost anything, just something that you remembered or noticed while interacting with them.
- Reconnect seasonally: for some reason, quarterly is a great time to connect with people. It can be as simple as just saying hello and a quick update of what is going on. Even better, with social media, maybe just a quick tweet @ the person or a simple Facebook message will suffice. At least do this once a year, and if possible a birthday is a great time to connect.
- Keep a master list: It is great to keep all your information organized, this will seem completely pointless until you need something. Have a view of all people you have connected with, like a mini CRM for yourself. Facebook, could do this for you, through lists. Or even in Gmail with Labels, but I have found a quick little spreadsheet or database does wonders. Spend some time on this, it will be well worth it.
- Now it was worth it: the relief of having done this work pays off when you need a reference or looking for a job. Over time, this list can grow into something very valuable to you. It is a great way to network and you never know where your next opportunity will come from.

We hit the enrage timer this week, I didn't keep track but 15 minutes felt about right. One thing we had happen was multiple double envenoms, the first would go off and a second was applied almost immediately. That happened to me twice in the enrage pull but I survived both, but we had 2-3 dps die from it relatively early into the fight, which led up to hitting the enrage.
I don't recall the double envenom happening pre-2.2 but I can't say for sure that it didn't, I just happened to notice it this week. Has anyone else seen this?
Happened this week, I was raid healing and noticed it a few times. No one died from it, but it definitely means you need to keep people topped or people will go splat.

I was assigned to heal the warrior tanking the priest but found that at least half the time I was able to help out on raid healing, is there anything specific that should be set up in regards to who has priority to get healed by specific people? Our main raid healers (two druids and a paladin) were complaining that they were simply using way too much mana trying to contain the raid damage.
Posted 01 October 2007 - 12:05 PM
- 2 healers on the warrior tankin the paladin. Priest + paladin or 2 priests for us, they can keep him alive quite easily, at least if you give them shadow priest. They should not stand next to each other, so they are not forced to move at the same time.
- 1 healer for each of the other mob tanks.
- 2 main raid healers, shamans usually. They will heal the people with Deadly Poison and Wrath as priority. They also help with interrupting when melee immunity.
- 1 raid healer, who will stay in range of the paladin tank. This has been tree druid or priest for us, he will keep the paladin tank hotted and help if nasty burst, however his main focus is raid healing. CoH priest is extremely good for this, as the melee is taking a lot of damage that can be healed easily with CoH.

Our main raid healers (two druids and a paladin) were complaining that they were simply using way too much mana trying to contain the raid damage.
I find that druids are best used to heal tanks. Using two druids on ALL four tanks, you can get away with another 1/2 healer on the priest/rogue/mage.
This is our WWS of the latest kill: Loading...
Posted 01 October 2007 - 04:53 PM
1 priest on mage tank.
1 Paladin on feral druid, rogue tank.
2 lifebloom druids on Priest + Paladin tanks.
1 Paladin on Paladin tank
1 Paladin on Priest tank / Interuptors
1-3 People on raid healing (depending on how many healers we have left over)
I much prefer to have 8-10 healers than 7. We had a 7 healer one with an 8 minute kill and it was a lot more chaotic and "scary" than our 10+ minute kills with more healers.
When we first got to this fight I thought it was a lot harder than people make it out to be. I guess it isn't really hard, it is just hard getting people to focus for so damn long! One thing that always bugged me about this fight is that there are only 3 loots. Yeah I guess it isn't an end boss but there are 4 mobs, 4 corpses, and 3 pieces of loot so they just throw a gem on the 4th corpse and call it good. Stingy IMO.

Okay thanks for your replies . Extra question, does the rogue kicking the priest have to stay in a possible blizzard/flamestrike for a couple of seconds if he -really- needs to be on his toes or should he never have to take extra ticks?
He can use the pvp or arena gloves. They give a bonus that adds a spell interrupt to deadly throw, so if they have to move out for blizzard or flamestrike they can use that to interrupt.

Okay thanks for your replies . Extra question, does the rogue kicking the priest have to stay in a possible blizzard/flamestrike (assuming it really is all around her) for a couple of seconds if he -really- needs to kick (no other option) or should he never have to take extra ticks?
They shouldn't need to stay in, aside from when the priest has the magic immunity and a heal is coming up soon. That's when you use cloak of shadows. The rogue that does the interrupting on the priest might as well wear stamina gear over DPS gear, as you spend most of the time unable to attack due to BoP and the reflective shield.
I personally wear 100% stamina gear on council, which puts me around 15.5k life. Finally paid off this last week when I tanked the priest from 35% to death.

9/30 22:41:29.875 High Nethermancer Zerevor steals Mkicon's Dampen Magic.
9/30 22:41:30.875 High Nethermancer Zerevor 's Arcane Bolt hits Mkicon for 14425 Arcane damage.
Lots of things like that with the time delay between the stealings being <0.2 seconds apart. I am aware of the combat log having things in mixed up order sometimes but he's still getting hit for full damage so he's not getting it.
Posted 02 October 2007 - 02:55 AM
Posted 02 October 2007 - 02:58 AM
May or may not help, but we've found that cramming up fluff buffs and hots seems to help prevent the dampen from being stolen altogether after we had one issue with a dampen getting stolen back too fast once.
Looking through the logs I've never seen anything else stolen except dampen magic :/
Posted 02 October 2007 - 03:57 AM
We haven't killed them much so our sample size is not big enough to say it works but well we've never had a problem when hes not moving, only when he trys to show off.

Posted 02 October 2007 - 08:23 AM
I think the combat log issue is just a bug.

Activating innate immunity to fight breast cancer
Study Section:
Risk, Prevention and Epidemiology
Scientific Abstract:
There has been debate as to whether human innate immune system is capable of constantly identifying and killing cancer cells and a failure of this system plays a role in cancer occurrence. Recently, a mutated mouse was found to have acquired systemic resistance to advanced malignancy apparently through leukocytes independently of lymphocyte-based immunity. Whether this innate immunity in mice can yield important clues to human cancer will await future studies. In an independent study, however, we demonstrated that the human complement system, an ancient innate immunity, could be specifically activated to kill breast cancer cells. We showed that human sera acquired an efficient killing feature specific to breast cancer cells by addition of an exogenous protein fraction, termed tumor specific complement activator or tsCA. The activated human serum completely lysed breast cancer cells within a few minutes, but had no effect on normal cells. We thus hypothesize that human complement lacks a crucial factor to specifically target breast cancer cells and initiate the proteolytic cascades. In this proposal, we plan to 1) characterize the exogenous factor (tsCA) that activates human serum and initiates tumor-specific cytolysis and 2) identify the target molecules on the surface of breast cancer cells. Based on the feature that tsCA specifically interacts with breast cancer cells, novel affinity approaches will be developed to identify the complex that initiates tsCA-mediated activation of human complement. Proteins in the complex will be identified with LC-MS/MS. Antibodies against the identified proteins will be raised and confirmed for their inhibitory activity. Our proposed study will have following potential outcomes and benefits: 1) existence of a novel mechanism for tsCA-mediated activation of human complement will be confirmed, which may lead to development of new strategies for drug discovery and cancer treatment; 2) the surface proteins on breast cancer cells may be used as new diagnostic markers and/or therapeutic targets for breast cancers; and 3) results of the proposed study will emphasize the role of complement in immune surveillance of breast cancer occurrence.
Lay Abstract:
Our immune systems can efficiently identify and destroy abnormal cells. For many years, however, scientists have debated whether this immune surveillance can efficiently pickup cancer cells and destroy them spontaneously. It is encouraging that white blood cells from a naturally mutated mouse are recently found to kill aggressive cancer cells independently of adaptive immunity. Normal mice injected with these white blood cells acquired systemic resistance to aggressive cancers. Whether this phenomenon in mice can be found in humans needs further investigation. Markedly, we found in our laboratory that human blood acquired a specific activity to kill breast cancer cells by addition of a partially purified protein, termed tumor specific complement activator or tsCA. Our study demonstrated that this cancer killing activity acts through the Complement system, an ancient immune surveillance system to destroy infected and other abnormal cells. We thus hypothesize that human complement is capable of acquiring cancer-killing activity; however, it lacks a factor that specifically initiates the killing process. In this proposal, we plan to identify 1) the tsCA and 2) its target molecules on the surface of human breast cancer cells. Methodologies will involve development of novel affinity chromatographs and application of mass spectrometry-based proteomic approaches. These aims are straightforward and feasible based on our preliminary studies. Accomplishing these experiments will allow us to confirm the function of the factor and to characterize the mechanism underlying the phenomena of breast cancer-killing activity. It may explain, at least in part, why some people never get cancer. In addition, results of the proposed study will become a basis for novel diagnostic tools and new drugs to fight breast cancers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Four suspects faces several charges Monday after a brutal home invasion, shooting and high speed chase that spanned two counties.
Just before 3 a.m., police in Portland, Sumner County responded to TGT Road amid reports a home had been burglarized and someone had been shot.
When officers arrived they learned four men wearing ski masks had forced their way into the home of 72-year-old J.D. Anderson and his wife, 70-year-old Mavis Anderson, demanding "guns, pills and money."
Mavis Anderson told News 2 her husband has a gun and knife collection, likely what the suspects were after. "They demanded those guns and any money we had and you know how things are today, just barely makin' it. They took money we had," she recalled.
The couple's daughter, 47-year-old Mavis Ann Bracey, was also inside the home and suffered severe injuries when she was shot as many as 10 times by the suspects.
"She tried to crawl or run, I reckon they just kept shooting her," said J.D. Anderson. Bracey was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she underwent surgery and is now in stable condition.
Police said the elderly homeowners were beaten by the suspects but did not require hospitalization.
Bracey's boyfriend was also in the home but managed to escape and run to a neighbor's house, who alerted police.
He was also able to provide officers with a description of the suspects' getaway vehicle, a white SUV.
A short time later, the suspects were spotted in nearby White House and White House police gave chase.
The chase, at times reaching speeds of 100 miles-per-hour, continued south into Davidson County.
Metro police joined the pursuit after spotting the suspects' vehicle on Interstate 24 at Woodland Street in east Nashville.
Officers laid out spike strips in the area, which slowed the suspects, but the pursuit continued until the driver of the SUV lost control and collided with a Jeep Cherokee at the intersection of Elm Hill Pike and Air Lane in Donelson.
The driver of the Jeep was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Metro police apprehended all four suspects, one with the help of a police K9.
Two of the men, identified as 26-year-old Jerry Taylor and 22-year-old Tajay Vaughn, were taken into custody at the scene.
The other suspects, 28-year-old Michael Hurd and 35-year-old Mark Dunn, Jr., were taken to a local hospital with non life-threatening injuries. Metro police spokesperson Kristin Mumford said officers recovered multiple weapons from the suspects' SUV in addition to an AK-47 that was thrown from the vehicle during the pursuit.
She attributes the arrests to the well-coordinated efforts of a number of area police precincts.
"Outstanding police work by a combination of East, North, and South precinct officers, by Metro, led to their apprehension," Mumford said.
All four suspects face charges of attempted murder, especially aggravated robbery, especially aggravated burglary, especially aggravated assault and theft.
Taylor and Vaughn were booked into the Sumner County jail on $1 million bond each Monday afternoon.
Hurd and Dunn will be booked and formerly charged when they are released from the hospital.

in India, Car Hire
Taking a trip abroad or domestically usually means that travellers will need a mode of transportation to get around and see the sights. This means that visitors will utilise public transportation, short flights, taxis or car hires to quickly and efficiently reach each place they wish to visit at their destination. Car hires may be one of the most effective ways to get around, as they provide flexibility for travellers to create their own schedules.
Indian tourists often rent vehicles during their short breaks in the country and while enjoying a new locale abroad. Recently, the National Tourism Awards announced the winner for best car hire company determined by India's Ministry of Tourism. Many prestigious companies were in the running, but Avis Car Rental was selected as the most superior with top-notch equipment and services.
Avis has more than 40 pickup facilities in 18 Indian cities across the country for travellers to use during their business and leisure trips. Many are located at large airports for easy access, including Bengaluru International Airport, Chennai International Airport and the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. This is only a small part of the services provided worldwide in roughly 165 countries that Avis covers, which Indians can check out on their more elaborate luxury travel excursions.
From sports cars to minivans, Avis offers a range of vehicles to its Indian customers and across the globe. Some of the most popular selections in the country include the Toyota Corolla, Mercedes E Class and Ford Fiesta. Some help tourists save money on gas by being eco-friendly and fuel efficient, while others can be used to impress a client during a business meeting abroad.
"Our customers trust Avis to provide them with best-in-class products backed by our world-renowned 'We try harder' service to ensure a consistently outstanding rental experience in India and around the globe," Patric Siniscalchi, president of Avis Budget Group's Latin America and Asia Pacific division, said in a statement.
Not only has Avis won the award from India's Ministry of Tourism, in the past year the company was also honoured as Asia's Leading Car Hire option at the World Travel Awards. This was given due to Avis' wide range of vehicles, mileage program and preferred customer program.
Other destinations and tourism companies were recognized alongside Avis by the 2010-2011 National Tourism Award. Hyderabad was named the best heritage city, while the best rural tourism project was given to the traditional craft centre in the town of Srikalahasti. When it comes to businesses, Indus Travels based in Canada won for best overseas tour operator to India from North America and the ITC Gardenia in Bengaluru took home first place for best eco-friendly hotel.
Planning a car hire rental in India and elsewhere is simpler than ever. Travellers may book a reservation online through the business's website, or try one of the budget programs online that allow tourists to save of package deals with flights, vehicles and accommodations. Smartphone technology has also streamlined the car hire process, as users may download special apps to walk individuals through the process of choosing their make, model and rate for a rental vehicle. Whether a traveller is looking for aSingapore car hire with any brand or hopes to try a car rental Avis in London, the possibilities are endless and more affordable than ever before.

Best of the West
Explore the national parks of western USA including the Grand Canyon
Explore the national parks of western USA including the Grand Canyon
The lookout views along along the park's 18-mile-long main road are amazing; navigate using the park brochure you receive at the entrance. Bryce Amphitheater – where hoodoos stand like melting sandcastles in shades of coral, magenta, ocher and white, set against a deep-green pine forest – stretches from Sunrise Point to Bryce Point .
Only 1% of all visitors venture onto the backcountry hikes. You won't walk among many hoodoo formations here, but you will pass through forest and meadows with distant views of rock formations. And oh, the quiet. The 23-mile Under-the-Rim Trail , south of Bryce Amphitheater, can be broken into several athletic day hikes.
The Grand Staircase – a series of steplike uplifted rock layers stretching north from the Grand Canyon – dramatically culminates in the Pink Cliffs formation at Bryce Canyon National Park .
See the desert landscapes of the Western United States! On this three-day tour, depart from Las Vegas to see Arizona's Grand Canyon and Lake Powell, and Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park and Zion National Park. Discover the natural beauty of these canyon rock formations and the surrounding bodies of water as you tour the scenic areas with your expert guide.
Many moderate trails descend below the rim, but this is one of the most popular. The 1.4-mile trail descends 521ft from Sunset Point and passes through the famous narrow canyon Wall Street . Combine part of the Navajo with the Queen's Garden Trail for an easier ascent. Once you hike the 320ft to Sunrise Point, follow the Rim Trail back to your car (2.9-mile round-trip).
The easiest hike, this 0.5- to 5.5-mile-long (one-way) trail outlines Bryce Amphitheater from Fairyland Point to Bryce Point. Several sections are paved and wheelchair accessible, the most level being the half mile between Sunrise and Sunset Points. In the summer, you could easily take the shuttle to any one point and return from another instead of backtracking to a car.
Escape from Las Vegas and spend your day exploring one of the world's most spectacular landscapes, Utah's Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon Country.
During summer and early fall, rangers lead canyon-rim walks, hoodoo hikes, geology lectures, campfire programs and kids' ecology walks. If you're here when skies are clear and the moon's full, don't miss the two-hour Moonlight Hike among the hoodoos. Register same-day at the visitor center , but do so early.
With a trailhead at Fairyland Point north of the visitor center, the 8-mile round-trip makes for a good half-day hike (four to five hours). The tall hoodoos and bridges unfold best if you go in a clockwise direction. On the trail there's a 700ft elevation change, plus many additional ups and downs.
Kitschy but good-natured fun, an evening at Ebenezer's includes live country-and-western music served up beside a big BBQ dinner: steak, pulled pork, chicken or salmon. It's probably the best meal served at the Ruby's complex and is wildly popular, so book ahead.
Just outside the park, Ruby's offers guided horseback rides (half-day $75), ATV tours (three hours $100) and mountain-bike rental (half-day $35) – not to mention the rodeo performances, helicopter rides and snowmobiling. Inquire at the inn.

Statement of
James Blaker
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
It is a distinct pleasure and honor to appear before your committee as you and the other members ponder the important question of where the nation's reserve and National Guard components should go in the years ahead.
I'd like to offer a rather different view. It is perhaps more radical than some of those you've heard today, but I hope it will be of use as you set the course of the reserve components. My views are influenced heavily by the current American revolution in military affairs. I believe we Americans have entered a major transformation of our military forces, driven in part by our technical lead in what are generally called information technologies. This transformation is as important as any previous revolutions in military affairs. Like earlier revolutions the current American revolution in military affairs, will change the way we think about the use and character of military force. It will affect, profoundly, the role the United States plays in international affairs and provide the United States with a qualitatively superior capacity to use its military forces effectively across the spectrum of conflict.
This is not the place to try to explicate the dynamics of this transformation. But let me make two points: First, the esoteric debate over whether or not US forces have entered a revolution in military affairs is over. We are in one. The Pentagon accepts it and each of the military services recognizes it. The debate is now focused on how fast we should bring about the transformations. Second, the reserve components can play a central role in the transformation. But, to do so, we must be willing to think and act outside what have become the norms and constraints of past assumptions and biases.
So, let me begin with a modest suggestion. It is that our current understanding of the "total force" is wrong for today and increasingly wrong for the future. Our present understanding postulates the reserve components as, ideally, active force clones. That is, from the national standpoint, we want a reserve component force that can rapidly expand, flesh out and increase the potency of the active force. Other nations have different models. And there are variations across the military services. But the core of the current US model assumes we will maintain a robust active force as the major component of our day-to-day military power, and will supplement that force with reserve components, when necessary.
This means, among other things, that the Active Force is the standard against which we assess and evaluate the reserve components. We assess the quality of the "total force" in terms of how closely the reserve components conform to the active force. And we judge the quality of the reserve components in terms of how long it takes for them to get to the active force standard. These assumptions lie at the heart of today's discussions of the role and requirements for the reserve components. The debates and passions they stir are focused on different judgements and views of how closely the reserve and guard components do, and should, conform to the quality, character, and capabilities of the active components.
Yet, our current understanding of the "total force" is a product of a particular era. Because that era lasted for nearly half a century, it's easy to think the concepts that we developed and honed for it are somehow "timeless" and that they are the best way of doing things. Our assumptions have become axioms. They are comfortable not only because they have been around for so long, but also because, given the character of the world in which they were devised, they made sense.
They were developed in an era when there was a consensus on the military threat. That threat was big, dangerous, and becoming better. The stakes involved in not coping successfully with it were very high. We agreed on this and we agreed on the need to have a very robust force to cope with what was the very robust force that threatened us. Overwhelming force was seen as the essence of the threat, and we adopted a theory of overwhelming force as the best insurance against it.
But we, as a polity, decided to build a system that would allow us to avoid the cost of maintaining such a force during peacetime. We instead decided to rely on a way of building rapidly to a greater military mass when it was needed. This was the essence of how we thought about the reserve components. They were to be the way of expanding the military mass we might need in times of peril. And the speed with which we could do this was a function of how closely the reserve components conformed in character, capability, and skill to the active force.
Now, of course, the world is different from what existed when we created the current understanding of "total force". There is no threat in the sense there was in the old era, and we do not agree among ourselves that one is emerging. Technical and political factors push us toward a different concept; away from mass, toward decisiveness; away from a perception that overwhelming force will be a requirement, toward the view that agility, speed, precision, and quick reaction -- decisive force -- is the best insurance in an ambiguous world.
And because the rationale for the current understanding of "total force" has collapsed, there is an intellectual restlessness with it that extends into the bureaucracy charged with implementing it. The seeds of change have germinated.
One alternative understanding even peeks out from the pages of today's bureaucrateez. (i.e.: from things like the QDR or Joint Vision 2010). It's called, variously, the American RMA, and it posits a very different way of thinking about the meaning of the "total force".
Instead of seeing the goal as one of making the reserve components clones of the active force, this concept sees the reserves as the shield beneath which the active force can change quickly and profoundly. It accepts, and promotes, a bifurcated force, in which the reserves act as the repository for today's strength and serve increasingly as the primary military means through which the nation pursues its policy of peaceful engagement, while the active force is freed to allow it to change.
Adopting this would mean changes in the role, activity, and character of the reserve components. It would put reserve components more prominently in "presence" and "peacetime engagement" missions. It would probably entail changes in how reserve and guard members spend the roughly 40 days a year they owe in training. It could involve incentives to expand the voluntary active duty programs, and it might involve adjustments to the President's call-up authority.
It would involve costs; additions for transportation and personnel. But it could also involve some cost savings. If reserve components, serving in a rotation, make up a larger portion of the stationed forces in Europe, do we need the same dependent infrastructure we have there now? Maybe not.
All this posits perturbations to business as usual. That's always disruptive and such suggestions are always suspect. But, what's the fundamental purpose of overseas presence and peaceful engagement, now? Is it to deter attack by the 8th Guards Tank Army? Or is it to demonstrate American strength more generally -- politically and culturally, as well as militarily? And if so, why can't the reserve components do that -- maybe better than the active forces?
This concept may be upsetting to some, crazy to others. But you're going to hear more about it in the context of what the Pentagon, beneath its breath, calls the vanguard force. The Vanguard Force concept almost got into the QDR, and is almost certain to emerge in some form from the NDP and/or Congress. It picks up the notion of "freeing" some portion of the active force to more quickly integrate "system-of-system" technologies into organization, structure, and doctrine. The Vanguard Force could turn out to be a fairly robust undertaking, involving on the order of three Army divisions, 3 Air Force Wings, and commensurate Navy and Marine Corps components. That level would constitute a significant diversion of the active force away from today's focus on readiness (which involves constant efforts to able to do things the way current doctrine says we should) toward experimenting with change.
To do this, we'd have to face the choice between stepping down from presence and contingency commitments. Or relying more on the reserve components to pick up more of these commitments. Our choice should be the latter, and in making it we will be moving away from the old understanding of the total force. The new total force sees a different partnership between the active and reserve force components. Rather than striving to be clones of active forces, the reserve components would remain the repository for today's American military prowess while portions of the active force move more expeditiously and faster into the future. Rather than debating how fast the reserve components can take on the combat roles of the active force, we would focus on how well they can perform the presence and peacetime missions that currently absorb so much time and effort of the active components. Reserve components would, under this concept, assume a greater portion of the active Army's mission in Europe. They would do so on a rotational basis, and because of this would not be able to replace the active personnel stationed in Europe, one-to-one. But even on a rotational basis, the reserve components could relieve a considerable portion of the active force to let it, in turn, become the experimental base at the heart of the Vanguard Force.
Much needs to be worked out with regard to this approach. But, it is worth thinking about. It offers an alternative to the stale debates that echo hollowly in today's world where the concepts of massive militaries, engaged in world wide conflicts have faded, and where the future will lie with the nations who build forces that are more agile, decisive, and smarter.

DENR Secretary Announces Merging Of State Water Programs To Create
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 07 August 2013 19:15
- Written by Super User
RALEIGH, N.C. : August 1st, 2013 - John Skvarla, secretary of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, announced August 1st, the state agency is consolidating several of its programs to create greater efficiency at protecting water resources in North Carolina.
The state divisions of Water Quality and Water Resources are merging into one program called the N.C. Division of Water Resources, effective today. Merging the divisions will bring together about 484 employees, with more than two-thirds of them from the water quality program. The programs will remain headquartered in the Archdale Building, part of the state government complex in Raleigh. Water quality programs are responsible for ensuring North Carolina's water is clean while water resources programs are responsible for ensuring people have enough water for everyday uses.
"Making DENR a more efficient organization supports Governor McCrory's mission to make state government more responsive to our citizens," Skvarla said. "Moreover, it just makes sense to integrate our regulation of water quality and quantity. It doesn't matter how much water you have if it's not clean, and likewise a shortage of water, even if it is clean, isn't acceptable. This merger will enable DENR to address water quality and water quantity issues holistically rather than separately, similar to placing doctors of different specialties in the same office together."
While the changes will enable department programs to operate more efficiently, North Carolina's businesses, citizens and others who depend upon the state's water programs should be unaffected by the changes, Skvarla said. For example, water quality inspections will be conducted as usual and any permits previously issued to individuals, businesses and others will not be affected by the changes.
In the short term, programs and personnel in the divisions will remain unchanged. However, one of the goals of the consolidation is an evaluation of existing programs and the subsequent blending of water quality and quantity management structures to increase program efficiency. The division also plans to form an outside involvement committee of citizen and regulated stakeholders to get additional input for the process of division consolidation and regulatory review.
In their present forms, the Division of Water Quality was formed in 1996 and the Division of Water Resources was formed in1980. However, consolidating the state's two water agencies has been discussed for more than a decade, said Tom Reeder, director of the Division of Water Resources. Reeder and other senior staff members in DENR are conducting a review of all programs in the two divisions to determine those that may be outdated or in need of modification. "Regarding the final structure of the new division, the actual consolidation of the two divisions will be a lengthy process that will probably not be finalized until sometime early in 2014," Reeder said.
In addition to the consolidation of the two water agencies, the program devoted to stormwater regulation and education will be moved from the N.C. Division of Water Quality to the N.C. Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources, or DEMLR.Under this organization, stormwater programs, including state permits for new construction and coastal development and federal stormwater permits, will move to DEMLR. About 30 stormwater staff members from the central office in Raleigh and regional offices statewide will be reassigned to DEMLR, but their locations and phone numbers will remain the same. The central office's Mail Service Center mailing number will change to MSC 1612. For more information on the state's stormwater programs, visit its website at http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/stormwater.

Samardzija Not in Rotation?
I saw this in a chat with Bruce Levine and I was wondering if I missed something along the way. I had not heard that Samardzija is no longer being considered for the rotation. If true, I guess this means that a right handed reliever is his ceiling at this point. Northside Mo (Chicago) Hey Bruce, what do you think about Samardzija not having a shot at the rotation? Seems like he made good progress in AAA last season with the intent of having a shot this season. Why cut it short? Bruce Levine (1:21 PM) I'm not a fan of how Samardzija has been handled. I think the Cubs showed they really don't have a handle on what his ability really is. And who he should be. This it the third or fourth change of job description for Samardzija. It's been a detriment to his ability to get better.

BRUSSELS — The United States and the European Union sought Monday to get past a rough patch in diplomatic relations and resume talks on a free trade deal that would expand what is already the world's biggest business relationship.
Negotiators for the Obama administration and Europe say an agreement would create jobs and boost growth in the two economies, which represent almost half of global output but are still not fully recovered from recession. The trade volume in goods and services between the two economies totaled $1.08 trillion last year.

What was originally the ballast plant of the old Northern Light fluorescent bulb company just north of downtown is now the corporate headquarters for Ogden & Company, Inc. This office houses both the corporate offices and the Real Estate Management, Accounting, and Commercial Leasing and Brokerage Divisions of the Company. Hugging the Milwaukee River, the shell of a building, basically four walls of cream city brick with open window cavities, was a monumental task to renovate. Now the building not only meets and exceeds the expectations of Ogden employees and guests, but has also enhanced the neighborhood in which it sits.
The beautifully renovated building was designed within a historical structure while creating ultimate functionality as an office setting. The development created an extension to the Milwaukee Riverwalk project, waiting anxiously to be connected on the north and south. The public access dock completes the connection for Brady Street patrons from the River to Lake Michigan. As part of the River Sculpture project of the Milwaukee Riverwalk District, an art sculpture has been placed strategically for all to enjoy.
A 64-foot genuine rowing scull is suspended from the ceiling inside the building. The scull supports the river theme outside the building. It also however supports the corporate mission of teamwork within the company, with the neighbors and the community.

Green Party urges Boris to move quicker on emissions
The Green Party says that London has been breaking European air pollution limits for nitrogen dioxide since 2010.
London Assembly Member Jenny Jones welcomed the announcement of an ultra-low emission zone - but urged the mayor to move much more quickly.
"This is excellent news for Londoners' health, but leaving it as a project for the next Mayor to deliver is a way of ducking responsibility for the problems we're facing now. We have argued for years that the Mayor's list of little measures is inadequate and that an ultra low emission zone was essential.
– Jenny Jones, Green Party member of the London Assembly.
"It's already too late for our breaking the European legal limits, but if we are to clean up London's dirty air we need this zone now, with a zero emission target. I urge the Mayor to be brave, drop his planned backward steps on the 2015 measures and make the big changes happen by the end of this year."

MMA news is always first and foremost here, especially on a day like yesterday. Still, I'd be remiss if I didn't at least acknowledge some of the noteworthy boxing action from last night. First, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Miguel Cotto looked better than average as a junior middleweight in beating the aging Ricardo Mayorga.
Steve Cofield retells the action:
Ricardo Mayorga was never the most technical fighter but he's always brought the fight. Tonight, his age showed against Miguel Cotto. Cotto fought at a controlled pace, peppering Mayorga with jabs throughout before turning it on in the final round to score a TKO finish at 0:53 of the 12th round in front 7,247 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
There were some decent exchanges along with way, but most were highlighted by Mayorga missing and Cotto landing good shots on the counter. The judges, Duane Ford, Jerry Roth and Chris Wilson, had it 107-102 for Cotto. Yahoo!'s lead boxing writer Kevin Iole also had it 107-102.. I scored it 108-101.
The Nicaraguan, knowing he was down big on the cards, went for broke in the opening seconds of the final round. Cotto (36-2, 29 KOs) took advantage of Mayorga's wild shots by landing a massive left hook. Mayorga (29-8-1, 23 KOs) froze for a second, began to look in the direction of his left arm and went down. He was hurt badly. Reports from ringside also say that he suffered a dislocated left thumb.on the exchange. Mayorga rose late in the count and began fumbling with his glove.
I watched the fight and thought Cotto looked ok for this weight, but not particularly strong.
Meanwhile, Sergio Martinez stopped Sergiy Dzinziruk in the eighth round of their middleweight bout:
Martinez stopped Sergiy Dzinziruk in the eighth round, knocking down the Ukrainian middleweight three times Saturday night at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Casino.
Referee Arthur Mercante Jr. stopped the bout at 1:43 of the eighth after Martinez (47-2-2, 26 KOs) of Oxnard, Calif., sent Dzinziruk down for the third time.
"I was able to hit the gas and accelerate," Martinez said. "I got a new wind, That happens to every human."
After three uneventful rounds to begin the fight, Dzinziruk (37-1, 23 KOs) briefly went down on one knee at the start of Round 4 from a tap on the top of his head.
Dzinziruk argued that he slipped. Mercante, however, ruled that Dzinziruk was hit by a punch and called it a knockdown.
In Round 5, Dzinziruk was knocked down again by a left hand just seconds before the bell rang. He got up smiling, but Martinez now firmly appeared to be in control of the fight.
Martinez had won the WBC middleweight title with a knockout of Paul Williams last November, but had that title stripped from him earlier this year.
The Martinez-Dzinziruk bout was for the WBC Diamond Championship. Martinez was awarded a diamond encrusted belt worth $50,000 for his victory. The WBC also refers to Martinez as the WBC champion emeritus.
Martinez-promoter Lou DiBella is now already hyping a potential fight between Martinez and Cotto.

The Back Story:
First meeting of the season. The Clippers won three of four meetings last year.
- November 25, 2010 in Los Angeles - Clippers 100 - Sacramento 82 - Box Score Recap
- December 6, 2010 in Los Angeles - Clippers 98 - Sacramento 91 - Box Score Recap
- December 27, 2010 in Sacramento - Clippers 100 - Sacramento 99 - Box Score Recap
- February 28, 2011 in Sacramento - Sacramento 105 - Clippers 99 - Box Score Recap
The Big Picture:
The feeling around the Clippers is as down as it has been in months. The team has lost three of four games for the first time this season, and the Pacific Division lead is down to a half game over the dreaded Lakers. Not even to mention the Clipper Darrell debacle (the Dar-bacle?). A loss to the lowly Kings would really hurt. So the Clippers need this win. They need to get some good feelings flowing around the team again, they need to get their six game road trip off to a good start, they need to get some players back on track -- they need to WIN. In order to do so, they're going to have to get more support for Chris Paul and Blake Griffin -- and they're going to have to make more of a commitment to defense. Griffin and Paul were terrific against Minnesota Tuesday, and DeAndre Jordan played well also, but the rest of the team was pretty terrible. Caron Butler was 1 for 10 for two points and Mo Williams was 4 for 12 for eight. With Chauncey Billups out, the Clippers can't win if the entire scoring load falls on Paul and Griffin.
The Antagonist:
You have to admit, the Kings have not been afraid to shake things up this season. Ten days into the season they fired head coach Paul Westphal and handed the reins to Keith Smart. It wasn't a surprise that the Kings were 2-5 when they fired Westphal, but the fact that the coach had been trashing the young and uber-talented DeMarcus Cousins at every opportunity was unacceptable. With a new more supportive coach, Cousins is averaging 16.6 points and 11.5 rebounds per game -- he clearly has the talent to be the next great center in a league without very many of those. But he remains emotional and immature, so the jury is still out. The next bold move the Kings made was to bench the unproductive John Salmons (the highest paid player on the team), move Tyreke Evans to small forward and insert Isaiah Thomas, the last pick in last June's draft, into the starting lineup. Replacing your highest paid player with a second round pick is a gutsy move, and the Kings offense has been better since it happened, and they've actually won two straight games. But the team clearly has issues. Evans isn't really a three -- he's just one of the guys they need to have on the floor. Meanwhile, the defense has been terrible, and the 5'9" Thomas probably isn't helping matters a lot there. But depending on what you think about Evans (the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2010), Cousins and leading scorer Marcus Thornton, the Kings may have a young core to build around, not too mention a ton of cap space, a rabid fan base and apparently a new arena on the way. So things are looking up in Sacramento.
The Subplots
- [Note by Steve Perrin, 03/01/12 1:41 PM PST ] Chuck Hayes. I realized as I was reading some comments over at Sactown Royalty that I should have mentioned the Chuck Hayes factor. Nobody in the NBA - nobody - played Blake Griffin tougher than Hayes last season. If the Kings coach is really 'Smart' (get it?) he'll start Hayes at power forward and have him on the floor whenever Griffin is in the game. And if he does that, the Clippers could be in for a long night.
- Sorry for the late preview. I didn't get to it last night, and then the Clipper Darrell thing required some attention this morning.
- Tonight's Special Guest Recapper: Citizen John Raffo. Plan on staying up late enough to see what SwamiRaffo has to say about the game.
- Kings Q&A. In anticipation of the game, I asked some questions of Tom Ziller from SBNation's Kings blog, Sactown Royalty. Head over there for my answers to his questions.
- Key Kings Metrics:
Pace: 93.6 (3rd of 30 NBA teams)
Off Rtg: 100.5 (24th of 30)
Def Rtg: 108.5 (28th of 30)
The Kings play fast, but they're not particularly good on offense, and they're downright bad on defense. The Kings are inconsistent -- they've been blown out man times, which kills their overall numbers, but they've also beaten some good teams.
- Key Clippers Metrics:
Pace: 89.8 (23rd of 30)
Off Rtg: 108.0 (3rd of 30)
Def Rtg: 105.5 (21st of 30)
That defensive disaster against Minnesota Tuesday added half a point to the Clippers D Rating all by itself. Yikes.
- Butler's slump. One of the best things about Caron Butler in his first season as a Clipper has been his consistency. In his first 25 games, he scored in double figures 22 times. Unfortunately, in his last five games, he's been in double figures just once. In those five games, he's averaging 7 points per game and shooting under 30%. And it's not as if Ryan Gomes or the newly added Bobby Simmons have shown any indication of picking up the lost production at the small forward spot.
- Williams' slump. Great Googly Moogly! I knew Mo Williams had tailed off some, but I really had no idea how bad it had gotten in February. For the month of January, Mo was white hot. He shot 53% overall and 47% from three in 12 games in January. In February it's been a completely different story. Like 35% overall and 31% from three different. In 8 of 14 games in the month, he made a third or fewer of his shots -- including games of 2 for 16 and 2 for 10. The addition of Kenyon Martin seemed to make the Clippers bench viable -- but it Williams is going to shoot 35%, the bench is once again a huge problem, as it was against Minnesota Tuesday.
- Happy Birthday, Power Balance Pavilion. It was March 1 2011 when ARCO Arena became Power Balance Pavilion. The last time the Clippers played the Kings was February 28 2011, the last game when it was still known as ARCO. Of course, there's no Cake song called Power Balance Pavilion, which proves that ARCO Arena was a better name.
- Tyreke Evans, small forward. Evans had a great rookie campaign resulting in the Rookie of the Year award (that would have been Blake Griffin's rookie season but he got hurt, and Ricky Rubio stayed in Spain that year, so two of the top five picks in the draft were out of the running, but still). But even as a rookie, it was unclear what position he played. He needs the ball in his hands for his relentless forays to the rim, but his 1.9 assist-to-turnover ration was decidedly un-point-guard-like. That year he was paired in the backcourt with Beno Udrih, and the two of them shared the ball handling duties. In his second season he was never right physically, battling plantar fasciitas all season, and his numbers all took a big decline. This season he's somewhere in between, but his shooting percentages have got to be a concern. Udrih was gone, replaced in the backcourt by Marcus Thornton, who is never going to be mistaken for a point guard. So Keith Smart moved Evans to small forward before the All Star break, and looking at his splits at least his shooting has been better since then. The Kings clearly need him (or to be clear, what they need is 2010 Tyreke) but they seem to be struggling to find the right role for him.
- Westphal. I will never forgive Paul Westphal for running the Pepperdine basketball program into the ground. The Waves will be playing in the West Coast Conference at the same time as Clippers-Kings tonight, and will probably finish another dismal season -- they're seventh straight losing season since Westphal's last year in Malibu.
- Pacific Division race. The Clippers have been fairly solidly in first place in the Pacific Division for a few weeks now. But after Minnesota split their LA back-to-back the wrong way, the Lakers sit just a half game behind the Clippers. A loss to the Kings (who then travel south to play the Lakers on a back-to-back on Friday) would give the other LA all the momentum.
- Nothing is easy in the West. I've mentioned on several occasions that the Clippers played only two games before the All Star break against the 'lottery' teams in the West (the four teams at the bottom of the standings, the ones who haven't really been in the playoff race this season). LA has 12 games against those teams in the remainder of the season, beginning tonight, and that's good news. But those teams may not be all that bad after all. Golden State is currently tied with Utah in the loss column, so drawing a line between the Jazz and the Warriors seems pretty arbitrary at this point. The Suns, whom the Clippers face on Friday, are just a game back of the Warriors. The Kings have a winning record at home this season. These teams are not Washington and Charlotte who the Clippers saw on their last six game trip. The Clippers definitely need to beat them, but the Kings and Suns should certainly be taken seriously. Of course, this Western Conference problem impacts all of the teams in the West, not just the Clippers.
- Start of a back-to-back. The Clippers have to leave directly after the game to head to Phoenix for an ESPN game against the Suns tomorrow night. And so it begins....
- Start of a brutal month. ... because the Clippers are in for a brutal month in March. In 31 days, the Clippers will play 20 games. To put that in perspective, they played 15 in the 31 days in January. Eight of the games occur without a rest day, five of those with travel in between the games. From March 11 to March 22, they play 9 games in 12 days. I'm getting tired just thinking of the previews and recaps -- they actually have to play those games!
- 60th pick. Isaiah Thomas was the 60th pick in June's draft, the last pick in the second round. I often wonder if that guy, that 60th pick, even wants to be drafted at that point. Second round picks do not receive guaranteed contracts. By being picked, his rights went to the Kings to negotiate a contract and try to make the team -- if his name had not been called, he could have tried to catch on with any of the 30 teams in the league. The fact that the Kings picked him meant that they liked him more than the other players available -- but that's all it meant. Of course, for Thomas it was better than it is for most 60th picks. The last pick belongs to the team with the best record, so the odds of a second round pick making that team are not great. The Bulls second rounder happened to end up with Sacramento, and Sacramento happened to be a very good situation for Thomas, so it all worked out.
- Cousins versus the Clippers. During his rookie season, DeMarcus Cousins was pretty dismal against the Clippers. He averaged 7.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, shot 30% from the field and 44% from the line. Partly because I've seen him look so bad against the Clippers, I'm having trouble relating to reports of a new and improved Cousins. We'll see if he's figured out the Clippers tonight.
- Very different Kings team. The last time the Clippers played the Kings, just over one year ago, the Kings were a very different team. Beno Udrih, Omri Casspi and Samuel Dalembert were all starting -- now those guys are all gone. Marcus Thornton had only been with the club for a couple of games -- now he's the leading scorer and a big part of their plans going forward.

Well, the UFC's ratings for the last two events weren't so hot, despite very entertaining cards with dramatic fights. Dave Meltzer believes that this issue is very serious, and worries that the UFC suffers from overexposure. Based on my own, anecdotal experience, I'm a bit conerned he might be right. My own "casual" friends don't seem to be as interested in watching the fights as much as they were a few years ago. The excitement generated by fighters like Lesnar and GSP doesn't seem to be there any more, the buzz from the reality show has faded since Rampage/Rashad (or at least GSP/Koscheck), and overall there's just less interest.
This was concerning to me, and I have speculatd about ratings and buy-rates as much as the next guy. But here's my question ... why should I, a moderately-hardcore MMA fan, give a crap? I can understand why Dana White cares - it's his money. And I understand why the fighters care - it's their money too. And it gives the media to something to talk about.
But as long as the fights are still on, and I can find them (specifically, as Canadian, as long as they stay on Sportsnet), it really doesn't matter at all whether anyone else is into it. I also enjoy mainstream sports - like baseball, hockey, and the NFL. But it's not like I get a special prize beause more people are watching the events. Who cares?
I can think of a few reasons why ratings might be important:
- It's more exciting when even casuals are hyped up (like the UFC in the Skydome, or the Jones/Rashad fight);
- If the ratings are better, more events will be on TV;
- If there is more money involved, higher quality athletes will be attracted, and hte product will get better;
- With more attention, some of the sport's issues (like poor judging or drug testing) might improve.
- With new casuals entering the sport, people like us could assume an annoying "hipster" role and constantly lord it over them, which from what I understand would make us irresistable to women.
But really, that's basically it. Overall, I have to say I don't really give a crap whether anyone else is watching MMA, as long as I can, and as long as there are at least people on the Internet to talk to about it. Overall, I have to say, I don't
Am I missing anything? Let me know if there are other reasons why we should worry about ratings.

Prestatyn fire started after row over a pushchair
A "drunk and jealous" woman has been found guilty of murdering five members of the same family in a blaze at a flat in Prestatyn, North Wales.
Melanie Smith, 43, deliberately set fire to a pushchair because she was angry that it had been left in a shared hallway, Mold Crown Court heard.
Lee-Anna Shiers, 20, her four-year-old nephew, Bailey Allen, and two-year-old niece, Skye Allen, died in the arson attack at the flat on 19 October, 2012.
Firefighters managed to rescue Ms Shiers' 15-month-old son Charlie and his father Liam Timbrell, 23, from the first-floor flat but they died later in hospital.

Asking Spiritual Questions:
Can people who feel small do something so big that it's miraculous? When people set aside their differences to work together for a common cause, will miracles happen among them? The movie Big Miracle (2012, Universal Pictures) asks audiences those questions as it presents the story of a journalist and a Greenpeace volunteer who rally others to help save a family of whales trapped by ice off the coast of Alaska.
Famous Miracle Quotes:
Rachel: "You have whales in trouble and you didn't call me?" Adam: "I didn't call you because there's nothing you can do." Rachel: "There's always something you can do!"
Boy: "People said they couldn't be saved. But sometimes, even if you're small, you can do big things."
The Plot:
Journalist Adam Carlson (played by John Krasinski) wants to escape Alaska for a bigger news market, but then an incredible story breaks right where he is: a family of gray whales becomes trapped by ice that's forming too quickly for them to swim free. If the whales don't get help from humans soon, they'll die. Adam reports on the story as other journalists from across the world descend on his small town.
When Greenpeace volunteer (and Adam's former girlfriend) Rachel Kramer (played by Drew Barrymore) joins the growing effort to save the endangered whales, the couple must set aside their differences and learn to work together. They recruit a coalition of many other people -- from American and Russian military personnel to Inuit natives -- who must learn how to overcome their differences in order to help the whales.
The people who are focused on the miracle they hope to see happen for the whales discover that a big miracle is happening in their own lives, too. By working together to free the trapped whales, they free themselves from the negative attitudes and tension that had previously separated them. Miraculously, they emerge from working together with a new bond of peace and love between them.
Big Miracle is based on a true story that happened in the 1980s, when people joined forces to save trapped whales in an effort called Operation Breakthrough.

To answer your question simply, yes.
Everything you just mentioned is perfect fuel for your workout days. Honestly dont be afraid to eat big. At 150 pounds and 8-9% BF you're in the perfect place to build muscle with minimal fat gain. Try eating something like +500 cals on workout days and +200 on rest days. Do this for at least 3 months and evaluate where you are. If you feel you have gained more than fat than you like you can get rid of it pretty quick by dropping back to maintenance levels for calories and adding in a bit more HIIT.
At your weight and BF levels though, I think you would be better of bulking for at least 6 months.
Good luck man.
I'm in the same boat as the OP. I started lifting heavy on a strict paleo diet, and other than what my friends call "newb gains" I kind of stalled out. When I started I was 6'2" and weighed in and around 225-228, which was by this board's standards still pretty pudgy.
What happened was I started to make friends at the gym that were not paleo. They would tell me about hitting certain macro goals, etc. I would translate that to what I needed paleo wise. Fat was dropping off faster than frankly I thought was possible, but I felt like I wasn't making any gains. I eventually went what I call "paleo light". I'm almost 100% paleo compliant on rest days. On work out days I eat real and clean meat. I eat carbs and dairy, I just get them from the cleanest sources I can (or can afford sometimes).
Here to eat and move like a caveman, not look or stink like one
Exercise and healthy food are very important to improve fitness. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, dairy products. Go for running, walking at least 30 to 45 minutes in a day. Practice push ups. bench press, chair squats, cable stretching and band resistance. It improve mood, make strong bones and muscles, boost energy, reduce joints pain, improve physical performance, improve heart functions and mental health.

Father John Bapst: Catholicism's Defender and Promoter
Father John Bapst, a Jesuit, knew little of America or Maine when he arrived in Old Town in 1853 from Switzerland. He built churches and defended Roman Catholics against Know-Nothing activists, who tarred and feathered the priest in Ellsworth in 1854.
Like many cities in France, Lewiston and Auburn's skylines are dominated by a cathedral-like structure, St. Peter and Paul Church. Now designated a basilica by the Vatican, it stands as a symbol of French Catholic contributions to the State of Maine.
John Bapst High School was dedicated in September 1928 to meet the expanding needs of Roman Catholic education in the Bangor area. The co-educational school operated until 1980, when the diocese closed it due to decreasing enrollment. Since then, it has been a private school known as John Bapst Memorial High School.

Sharks send six prospects to Worcester — and how McLaren got that black eye
WTC reporting today that G Tyson Sexsmith, D Joe Loprieno, C Andrew Desjardins, C Stephen Zalewski, LW Kevin Henderson and LW John McCarthy were sent to Worcester. He also delves into Petrecki's early game misconduct penalty last night, which left the team with only five defensemen in the game. Most interesting, though, is his assertion that Petrecki is getting serious looks from the coaching staff to start the season as the Sharks' 6th defenseman. If I were to handicap Petrecki's chances right now, I'd say he's a 3-2 favorite to make the team.

LOS ANGELES – It was evident long ago, but now it is official, in a sense. Clayton Kershaw is The Ace of the Dodgers.
Aces win 20 games. Aces go up against the other team's best guy and outpitch him. Aces raise the level of their teammates' play just by their mound presence.
Kershaw reached that exalted status much earlier this season. Tuesday night the numbers certified it, when he earned his 20th victory by getting into the eighth inning in the Dodgers' 2-1 victory over the Giants at Dodger Stadium.
To do so Kershaw got past Giants' two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum for the fourth time in four starts this season while beating San Francisco for the fifth time this year.
It was no easy task. Lincecum's ERA in those four starts was 1.24. But Kershaw's ERA against Lincecum was 0.29, and he hadn't allowed a run in those games until Chris Stewart's eighth-inning home run.
Overall, Kershaw is now 20-5, he leads the majors in ERA at 2.27 and leads the NL in strikeouts with 242 in 32 starts (226 innings).
Is he Cy Young-caliber?
"I'm sure people in Arizona are going to debate it, and people in Philadelphia are going to debate it," said his manager, Don Mattingly. "But for me, I think his numbers and what he's been able to do speak for themselves. I see him every five days, so I'm prejudiced. But there's not much chance anybody is any better."
Kershaw said he'd never envisioned winning 20 and thus had no preconceptions of what it would be like.
"There's a lot of things that are going right and your team is playing well behind you," he said. "More than anything it's an accomplishment for the team."
Of course, Kershaw has accomplished it for a team that is one game above .500.
James Loney's RBI single in the first and Jerry Sands' fourth homer of the year in the second gave Kershaw the support he needed to become the Dodgers' first 20-game winner since Ramon Martinez in 1990.
The Giants made it easier by having three men thrown out on the basepaths, two on Kershaw pickoffs.
Kershaw also had the help of a fine over-the-shoulder catch by Sands in the fourth.
The Giants got a runner to third with one out in the third, but Lincecum was thrown out on a dribbler in front of the plate and Kershaw got Torres looking on a wicked 1-2 curveball.
Kershaw retired eight in a row before Stewart smacked one over the fence in left-center, on his 102nd pitch.
Kershaw came out after walking pinch-hitter Pat Burrell and Andres Torres. But Kenley Jansen struck out pinch-hitter Pablo Sandoval and Beltran to close out the eighth, and Javy Guerra finished up.
