Human resources professional named Ashford's Outstanding Alum of the Week
SAN DIEGO, June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Wanting to close the gap between her professional and academic achievements, Shelly Mathewis enrolled at Ashford University to pursue her higher education goals. Because of her achievements in parlaying her education into career success, Mathewis has been named Ashford's Outstanding Alum of the Week.
"I knew there were some opportunities that I wanted to seek and, although I had the professional experience, I wanted to have that education behind it," Mathewis said. She found that education at Ashford where she earned her bachelor's degree in communication studies, graduating magna cum laude. On her graduation day, she was already planning her next move – a master's degree at Ashford.
"My hard work was already paying off," said Mathewis. "Because of my accomplishments of graduating undergrad and pursuing my graduate degree program, I have received several promotions with my employer."
Among Mathewis' favorite aspects of being an Ashford online student is the accessibility of the faculty members. "They were always available and very responsive. If I had a question, I could send them a quick email or call them on the phone, and they always responded to every need that I had."
"It's been a long journey to get to this point," Mathewis added. "But being able to accomplish this goal and better myself personally as well as professionally has been worth it."
The Ashford University Outstanding Alum of the Week recognition was created to spotlight Ashford success stories and graduates who have used their Ashford education as a springboard to personal and professional achievement.

AAA South Dakota is urging you to save the Monopoly race car player token, as it is endangered of being retired.
Hasbro, Monopoly's maker, plans to retire one its classic game tokens: either the race car, iron, Scottie dog, wheelbarrow, show, top hat, thimble or battleship. The company is allowing gamers to decide which tokens stay and which will no longer pass go.
Meanwhile, AAA South Dakota's Facebook page is making a drive to keep the race car in the game. The race car is one of the earliest Monopoly game tokens, introduced in 1935. "Without the race car, how else are you going to get anywhere?" jokes Marilyn Buskohl, spokeswoman for AAA South Dakota. "The race car is the only automotive token in the Monopoly game. Millions of motorists will be heartbroken if it disappears."

"Federal Washington cashes in on connections"
Americans neither want nor need to guarantee a low Gini coefficient. What we do have a right to expect, however, is that, to the greatest extent possible, this society's opportunities and rewards are distributed according to what individuals can do, not whom they know.
Instead of worrying about how much money rich people make, we should focus more on how they make it.

Heading into the final day of the Mexican Pacific League's first half schedule, the Guasave hold a one-game lead over five teams in perhaps the tightest points race in LMP history.
The Algodoneros are at the top of the leaderboard with a 19-15 record, one game ahead of Los Mochis, Mazatlan, Culiacan, Obregon and Hermosillo (who all sport identical 18-16 marks). Mexicali is two games back at 17-17, while hapless Navojoa is 10-24 and firmly planted in the cellar.
The first half will wrap up tonight with Mochis finishing their three-game series in Obregon, Mazatlan playing in Navojoa, Hermosillo visiting Culiacan and Guasave hosting Mexicali.
The winner of the first half will receive 8.0 points, second place is good for 7.0 and third place will net 6.0 points and so on. How a team finishes in the first half will be important when playoff seedings based on cumulative two-half point totals will be determined at the end of December. The top six teams will advance to the postseason in January.

I am publishing my book on a website:
My creative life divides naturally between acts of mimicry and abstruseness. Resultantly, every reinvention of myself (composer, painter, cartoonist, writer…) has been marked by the same predicament: I am too avant-garde to be mainstream, and too mainstream to be avant-garde. In a world where success depends on how well you meet an expectation, I am seen as being too conventional by one set of gatekeepers, and too different by another. (By any thoughtful inspection I am clearly my own thing.) Given this reliable misjudgment, and given I can make no headway against it, I undertake to publish my "too too" book electronically on this website. This does not mean I am not interested in finding a print publisher for my project. Any inquiries or advice on potential publishers or agents will be enthusiastically received at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Michael Louden-West is a reclusive man who understands himself in debilitating detail, yet relates to the world outside his door only through social logic gleaned from old movies, especially science fiction thrillers and screwball romantic comedies. His house is his sanctuary until he comes to believe a terrifying and beautiful angel has invaded it. Lacking corporeal form, this entity assumes the guise of his memories: both real remembrances and those transposed from films. Michael is resolved to escape the labyrinth and the monster that has come to haunt it, yet he is torn for how to go about this. The advice of his philosophizing friend gets around the obstacle of his overly rational mind, while the advice of a mysterious woman circumvents the inhibitions of his "barely owned" body. Without knowing the true identity of his specter, Michael must choose which friend to follow, and regardless where his journey to self-discovery begins, his quest is the same as Biblical Jacob: He must wrestle his fiery angel to secure a blessing from a curse, and in so doing find the meaning of his life.
The protagonist in Icarus Transfigured is afflicted with a mild, undiagnosed form of autism, and the reader comes to know his predicament through a fantastical story: one not intended to conceal his true life but, rather, to reveal how his life requires a kind of fiction to be understood.
About Author:
Icarus Transfigured began as a work of speculative fiction in 2003, and it was not until the author was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2007 that the protagonist in his story became openly autobiographical. Autism not only informs the subject matter of the book, but the memoir/novel is itself an autistic creation.
While AspergersDoorknob.com serves as a repository for Michael Lowell Teague's writing. He is best known for his alternative comics, which appeared in anthologies such as Zero Zero and Blurred Vision. He won a Xeric Award in 1999 for his self-published comic book, Epic Dermis. His comic strip, Blender Kitty, was regularly seen in The New York Press between 2001 and 2003. (A list of websites featuring his art, music, and comics can be found at the bottom of this page.)
"It was like him to fall in love with the lead actress and watch a film repeatedly without cessation. His gushing heart would be uncritical in its initial praise, and only with over-familiarity would his eye wander off-script into peripheral details the filmmaker never intended for scrutiny. The fantasy, from there, unraveled from the inside out, beginning innocently when an untouched water pitcher was noticed changing sides on a table during a conversation, and then onto the late discovery of a subtle tic in the actress' facial mannerisms. Eventually it came down to reading the lips of background characters, and finally spying the one guy in the crowd looking directly into the camera and mumbling, "I am the devil." By then, he was watching an entirely different movie: a movie so painfully familiar it was completely alien." –from Chapter Twenty-two
"The friend chafed. 'I'm never anxious to meet any woman who will be your undoing.'
Michael frowned.
Omar justified himself. 'I don't blame women for that, mind you. Domesticity makes women Nature's natural ally in dragging the species into mediocrity. Women save the race from the fate of either being too cerebral or too dangerous to survive.'" –from Chapter Twenty-three
(This book is not recommended for readers under the age of eighteen.)

Philosophy Inspired by Icarus Transfigured:
Click to enter book.
It is the irony of history that a daring and difficult idea becomes popular in the general culture only after it becomes irrelevant. Einstein's insight into relativity was a feat of genius, but few in his day (and ours) grasped the finality of what he purposed. As theoretical science shows signs of age and dementia, we stumble toward a greatly diminished horizon of certainty. The discoveries that awaits us will be subtler than those of Einstein, but far more profound.
This book, commenced in 2009, is a natural outgrowth of the philosophical ideas presented in Icarus Transfigured. These notes and their organization are still evolving, and so there are sure to be a few typos and rough patches.
"Beyond this appeal to function in the brain, there is the pricklier issue of manifest religious experience in the material of the brain. The ecstatic aspect of religious experience has been linked to the same location in the brain as sexual orgasm, and it is argued that spiritual elation is merely an offshoot or byproduct of this more legitimate evolutionary end. This offshoot subsequently evolved its own end, despite this end demonstrating no legitimate evolutionary purpose in itself (with perhaps the possible exception of salubrious benefit derived from self-affirmation through self-delusion). To the bigger point, we once more see locating activity in the brain as somehow explaining why something happens by where it happens, and by the same logic that sees bingo and worship as being identical in nature because they both occur in a church." –from Divine Clues
Ongoing editing, even as late as 2012, has bolstered the idea Icarus Transfigured continues to be a living document. I see these real-time "improvements" as one of the luxuries web publishing affords the writer over the printed page.

Last week, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) released the 3rd Mac OS X Lion Developer Preview (Build 11A459e) as well as the Xcode 4.1 Developer Preview 5. The last time Apple updated these were back in April, giving hope to developers and customers that any new updates would be feature packed and more stable.
Itsalltech created a large list of all of the features released to the developers in the latest updates and we can already see that we're getting many more UI changes as well as stability updates, than the upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Here's the list:
- New options in System Preferences>Mission Control
- There is a new animation when logging into the computer and displaying the desktop (seems buggy at this time)
- New Reminders menu in iCal
- New next desktop button in Dashboard space:
- New options when right-clicking (this appears to be buggy at this time):
- Compatibility to external displays has been improved (especially in Mission Control)
- There is now a Mission Control app
- Finders toolbar has been slightly updated:
- Desktop wallpapers have been updated (and new ones have been added);
- Reading List has been enabled in Safari:
- New changes in Mission Control: can add desktops right from Mission Control by clicking + button, close spaces from Mission Control, Mission Control no longer displaying text Desktop 1? etc., when hovering over desktop thumbnails, magnification of thumbnails are seen
- Scrollbars now change color depending on the background (black background=light scrollbar and vice versa)
Apple is expected to further discuss Mac OS X Lion in depth, come this June, during it's annual WWDC conference held in San Francisco. Lion is pegged for a Summer release, similar to the release of Snow Leopard which arrived in late August of 2008.

Hello, everyone. Longtime lurker, first time FanPoster. Hope this one meets with the approval of you fine people.
The season has started with some surprisingly good play from some of Dayton Moore's most maligned offseason acquisitions, notably Ankiel, Podsednik, and Kendall. This has led to an interesting (to me, anyway) dilemma among Royals fans. On one hand, we want the Royals to be successful; after all, why would we still be fans otherwise? However, many feel that even if the Royals find success, it's not worth it if it comes as a result of a flukey season from players such as the aforementioned trio, who have no business being that productive. In the minds of some, this will simply encourage the front office to continue with a flawed plan. But what if things got really, really flukey?
I'm a fan of ridiculous hypotheticals, so I thought I'd ask this one to the community. Suppose a mysterious stranger appeared to you and offered a choice. Behind Door #1 is a really, really terrible season for the Royals. Historically bad. Worse than the 1962 Mets bad. Everybody in the country will be cracking Royals jokes for the next few years bad. However, at the end of the year, it is guaranteed that Trey Hillman, Dayton Moore, David Glass, and/or whoever else you think needs to go will be fired/sell the team. You even get to pick the new personnel. No future success is guaranteed, though: the new management is on its own.
Behind Door #2 is the fluke season. The drawback to this is that the powers that be in the organization will keep their jobs, essentially having won the benefit of the doubt for the good season. The magnitude of this benefit will, of course, be in proportion to the quality of the season, so a World Series victory (ridiculous hypothetical, remember) would have a much greater impact than a merely over .500 season. So, the question is: How much would it take?

During Monday night's debate between U.S. Senate candidates, Republican George Allen and Democrat Tim Kaine, Medicare, Social Security, and the economy were all issues on the table.
As we approach the home stretch, former Virginia governors Kaine and Allen are pushing for a seat in Washington. The debate was broadcast statewide from Richmond, so both had a chance to plead their cases directly to millions of Virginia voters.
Neither candidate let up during this hour long political battle. Allen and Kaine both appeared poised and direct in a debate that some analysts call a toss-up, but not surprisingly there was no shortage of attacks.
Healthcare, equal pay among women, and defense were each topics the candidates had to take on, and across the board, Virginians were given a stark contrast. Allen was asked whether his party went too far in pushing for ultrasound mandates.
"A criminal attacks a woman who is pregnant. I think that if that attacker injures the woman, and injures or kills the unborn child, I'm wondering who's for accountability. And I think that measure on personhood would, in effect, would allow to have accountability," responded Allen.
In contrast, Kaine stated, "I will protect women's right to make their own healthcare decisions, cause you can't empower women in the economy if you take away their choices."
The debate was co-sponsored by AARP, so the future of Social Security and Medicare was also fair game. Almost one million Virginians 65 and older receive Social Security. Candidates were asked how they would protect benefits in the future.
George Allen suggested, "Have a gradual increase in the age, or the age of eligibility. The other thing is have some income adjustments for those that are millionaires. They don't need to have the same benefits of those of lower incomes."
"When George was in the United States Senate, he voted to privatize Social Security. That would have been a huge catastrophe prior to the collapse of Wall Street. What I would do is over time allow the payroll tax cap to adjust upwards as a first way of protecting the solvency of the program rather than changing the retirement age," explained Kaine.
There is a lot at stake here, just three weeks ago the two were separated by one point in the polls. Public Policy Polling says going into Monday night's debate, Kaine has a 51-44 advantage over Allen. So, it will be interesting to see who will get the biggest boost after the debate.

UPDATE: Pacers take Game 1, 107-96.
As the Indiana Pacers sputtered down the stretch this season, their expected Eastern Conference Finals rematch against the Miami Heat appeared to be at risk. Things looked especially dire when Indiana was on the verge of elimination in the opening round of the playoffs against the Atlanta Hawks, trailing by five on the road with three minutes to go.
But the Pacers got their act together and dispatched the Hawks, then topped the Washington Wizards in six games to set up the much-anticipated rematch against Miami. The Eastern Conference Finals will tip off in Indianapolis on Sunday.
The Heat enjoyed a much less bumpy road to the Eastern Conference Finals, sweeping away the Charlotte Bobcats and then defeating the Brooklyn Nets in five games. The Nets series was close to getting interesting when it looked like Brooklyn was going to take Game 5 in Miami, but the Heat stormed back from a late deficit to snare the victory.
A quiet storm
A quiet storm
The Heat-Pacers rivalry has turned into one of the more intense rivalries in the NBA over the past few seasons. Things started to heat up in the 2012 postseason, when the Pacers led the Heat 2-1 in the Eastern Conference Semifinals before Miami won the next three games to move on. Last season, the two teams battled to a seventh game in the Eastern Conference Finals.
The hotly contested series served as Paul George's coming out party, as he went toe-to-toe with LeBron James. George succumbed to James and the Heat in Game 7, but his generally strong performance served as the launching pad for his strong start to the 2013-14 season. While George regressed a bit over the course of the year, he still has shown the ability to carry the Pacers in the postseason. George scored 30 points in the Game 7 victory over the Hawks and had 39 points in a key Game 4 win over Washington.
The George-James matchup will again take center stage this time around. George had some success in the season series against the Heat, averaging 21.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists. However, he struggled when defended by James, shooting just 6-of-20, according to SportVU. Meanwhile, James was 17-of-35 when defended by George. James averaged 28.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in the four regular-season games.
The play of Roy Hibbert will also be a huge factor in the series. Hibbert has woken up after his disastrous stretch to close the year and open the playoffs, scoring in double figures in four of the six games against the Wizards while shooting 54.9 percent for the series. Hibbert does have positive history in the playoffs against Miami, as he averaged 22.1 points and 10.4 rebounds in last year's Eastern Conference Finals. This season, Hibbert averaged 22.5 points in the two Pacers wins over the Heat and only 5.5 points in the two losses.
More from our team sites
More from our team sites
To try and combat the resurgent Hibbert, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is expected to insert Udonis Haslem back into the starting lineup. Haslem has played sparingly in these playoffs, but Miami likes what he brings to the table against Hibbert, despite a size disadvantage.
There are numerous other story lines to watch out for in this series. Will Pacers coach Frank Vogel use Hibbert or David West on Chris Bosh? Bosh is shooting 48.6 percent from three in the postseason, and having Hibbert guard him would draw the big man away from the rim. It was this that had Hibbert on the bench when James won Game 1 of the series last year on a layup at the buzzer.
The Dwyane Wade-Lance Stephenson matchup should also be fascinating. Wade has looked mostly healthy in these playoffs, while Stephenson has been a bit more erratic than usual after his breakout regular season. To add to the intrigue, there's some bad blood between the two after some run-ins during the regular season. If Stephenson can come close to matching Wade, that could be huge in terms of the Pacers winning the series.
While the Pacers finished the year poorly and haven't looked that strong in the postseason, this likely won't be a cake walk for Miami. Last season's playoff series was tight, and this year's regular-season series was basically even. So expect another good battle for the right to go to the NBA Finals.

Matt Mitrione seems like an entirely different person than the meek outcast he portrayed on The Ultimate Fighter.
Coming in second to last in the team picks, Mitrione was an outsider from the onset, garnering the not so prestigious nickname "Meathead" as an affectionate gesture from coach Rashad Evans. The first sign that strange things were afoot was Mitrione's first fight. He faced Scott Junk, a tough and experienced veteran, and ended up bashing his eyeball loose from its socket.
The former NFL player, who didn't have a single professional fight to his name, had been sulking around, not making friends, and allegedly milking a shoulder injury, thoroughly wowed the cast with a mean set of hands from the southpaw stance. Now, after hooking up with Roufusport, one of the fastest rising teams, Matt Mitrione might be the most promising new heavyweight in the game.
As one of the four former NFL players on the tenth iteration of TUF, Mitrione shines with the qualities we speculated an athlete of that caliber might have: a frightening strength-to-agility ratio, quick adaptation to the basics, untouchable cardio and an unmatchable pace.
Throw in a freakish comfort with boxing, a gruesome straight left, and a natural instinct for fighting, and we've got one talented Meathead.
Check the specs on Christian Morecraft and how he stacks up with Mitrione at "UFC on Versus 4" in the full entry.
Christian Morecraft is a massive heavyweight, tipping the scales at just under the 265-pound limit, and 6'6" tall. He's associated with the Cape Cod Fighting Alliance, but also spends time under Ryan Ciotoli and Gary Marino at New York's Team Bombsquad.
Morecraft has allocated a groundbreaking solution to MMA's judging problem by avoiding decisions and the third round altogether, having violated each of his adversaries in the first round before coming aboard the UFC heavyweight division, and concluding things inside of the second in his two fights since.
Morecraft made his debut against Stefan Struve and inflated his lower lip to Goodyear-proportions with an enthusiastic mauling in the opening round, but was pegged by the lanky Dutchman's combination in the next for his first and only career loss.
Sean McCorkle and his scintillating smack talk was next on the docket, but Morecraft handled both threats with cool confidence, playfully instigating with media propaganda of his own and proving his prowess with a second round guillotine.
Physically, Morecraft is a leviathan, and he has quite a varied background in wrestling, striking, and BJJ that offers no glaring weaknesses.
Mat-wise, he showed solid technique to match the raw brutality of his ground-and-pound against McCorkle, angling for leglocks and armbars with a fluidity one wouldn't expect from someone of his size.
Matt Mitrione has soared under the watch of Duke Roufus.
His boxing has flowered into a storm of streaking left hands, and his quickness and dexterity bestow him with lightning-fast reflexes to sprawl and counter-punch.
Mitrione vanquished fellow TUF cast member Marcus Jones, Kimbo Slice, and Tim Hague (shown to the right), all by TKO. The rock-headed Joey Beltran refused to fall and persevered to a decision.
Considering the inexperience of his opponent, Mitrione's creativity in bombing knees to the midsection of a grounded Kimbo Slice was still impressive. He looks more comfortable with his hands in each outing, and really seems to be hitting his stride and oozing with confidence.
If Meathead reels off another strong showing against Morecraft, he will skyrocket as a prospect. The massive Morecraft will likely seek a ground battle, so Mitrione's ability to absorb the space in the cage and avoid the takedown will be imperative.
I think Mitrione has the cage presence to pelt Morecraft with his supercharged boxing and is too agile and feisty to hold down. Being stamped with Morecraft's elbows is an unfriendly environment for anyone, but the big fella has a lot more work to do to create that scenario than Mitrione does to work his hands.
Look for Meathead to show a renewed grasp of range by bursting in and out of the pocket, bouncing around with a smile of sheer lunacy, leaving only a trail of leather for Morecraft to work with.
My Prediction: Mitrione by TKO
Gifs via Zombie Prophet of IronForgesIron.com
UPDATE: I've added Mitrione's loss on TUF 10 to James McSweeney from The Ultimate Fighter website (which has every fight from every episode for free). I vaguely recalled Mitrione held his own on the feet against savvy striker James McSweeney, but didn't look entirely game on the ground, so it was informative to review this video.
Areas of note: Mitrione's reach length (81") is pretty outrageous for his height (6'3"). While attempting the leg lock shows promise for his inexperience, McSweeney, known for his standing prowess, was able to elicit the tap from the guillotine with little resistance.
Morecraft's size and skill is frightening from the top position, so Mitrione's grappling will be tested like never before if Morecraft can force the scenario.

Southern Mothers
Fact and Fictions in Southern Women's Writing
232 pages / 5.50 x 8.50 inches / no illustrations
Southern Mothers, a collection of critical essays by prominent southern literary scholars, examines the significance of motherhood in southern fiction. The belle, the mammy, religion, and racism are several of the distinctive threads with which southern women writers have woven the fabric of their stories. Bringing southern motherhood into focus—with all its peculiarities of attitude and tradition—the essays speak to both the established and the unconventional modes of motherhood that are typical in southern writing and probe the extent to which southern women writers have rejected or embraced, supported or challenged the individual, social, and cultural understanding and institution of motherhood.
Sally Wolff teaches southern literature at Emory University, where she has also served as associate dean and assistant vice president. She is the author of Talking About William Faulkner: Interviews with Jimmie Faulkner and Others and coeditor of Southern Mothers: Fact and Fiction in Southern Women's Writing.
Elizabeth Fox-Genovese is the Eleonore Raoul Professor of the Humanities and director of the Institute for Women's Studies at Emory University.

Yet Another Surprise Stadium Bill
In addition to the one from Rep. Hamilton, which Chris reported on earlier, Sens. Chamberline, Wolf and Han (a vocal opponent of expanded gaming) have introduced a bill that would pay for limited infrastructure for a stadium with a ticket surcharge. It seems Han expects the stadium to be mostly privately funded. Lester Bagley's already said no.

A French duck farmer, Messieur Royeur, was caught feeding his ducks with cannabis because they all had worms.
He maintained that the cannabis was the best cure for his ducks from the worms and normal worm-killing remedies just didn't work.
He has opened up a massive "can of worms" in France because animal lovers, normally high on cannabis themselves, claim that it's just a waste of good weed and the poor animals suffer.
Smoking cannabis is illegal in France and now the farmer faces a hefty fine and a jail sentence.
Many animal rights campaigners have come forward offering their services to keep the ducks fed hoping also to syphon off a couple of grams themselves, pourquoi no?
The Gendarmerie have now released Messieur Royeur under the conditions that he stops feeding the ducks with cannabis, stops having a joint himself and in the future kills the worms with a more accepted method, by giving them meths to drink, not forbidden in France.
The Gendarmerie don't mind alcoholic ducks for Christmas, but certainly don't want ducks on their tables who have been high on cannabis, pourquoi? (what a load of Quack, Quack, Francais!)

Look what I found. Sunday night I was shopping at a grocery store in the Los Angeles area suburb where I live and there was a Dallas newspaper from 50 years ago. Simi Valley is a long way from Dallas, but when I looked over at the newspaper rack and the sign screaming "Where were you?" it took me back! I couldn't buy it fast enough even though it was a lot more expensive than the day it really came out. This week's 50th anniversary of President Kennedy's death has me reading everything Kennedy! My friend Bryce Zabel has a good book out if your interested imagining a world where JFK had survived. It's called "Surrounded by Enemies" and it's pretty interesting. But, the real stuff that's all over the web is fascinating. An interesting website out there is http://www.jfk50.org/ which starts off with a pretty nifty video. Even The Dallas Morning News has a specially focused website. All you have to do is Google jfk50 and you could spend days reliving the past, but for me just glancing at that newspaper took me back to a week where there was still a sense on innocence on November 18th, 1963. That is until the sound of gunfire in my hometown cracked the Downtown Dallas air and for days we mourned the death of the 35th President of the United States. On this day, 5 decades ago, me and my fellow classmates at Benjamin Franklin Jr. High in Dallas went to school, to our morning classes and then to a normal midday lunch. 4 days later, on November 22nd, the President was shot at 12:30pm Dallas time and we would all have what some of my classmates like Cheryl Anthony Johnston and Cathey Gilmore Weigel have called "the lunch period that lasted forever." A lunch period where we sat in the school auditorium watching and listening to news that today is still hard to believe. News, that displayed in replica form at a California newspaper stand for $4.95 a copy, seemed surrealistic. The headline "Kennedy Slain On A Dallas Street" I know the street. It was in my hometown.

Character, and specifically its neglect, is the number one issue of our age. A society that is not grounded in deep values, that doesn't know who its heroes are and that lacks a commitment to the common good, is one that is failing. Such we have become.
Today sees the launch at the House of Lords of the Jubilee Centre of Character and Values, to be based at the University of Birmingham. The multi-million-pound investment over 10 years comes from the John Templeton Foundation, set up by the American-born philanthropist. The aim of the centre is to promote and strengthen "character" within schools, families, communities and companies. It argues that character strengths can be taught, are critical to a life well led, and will benefit all aspects of the country if they are more widely in evidence.

We still don't know if it is going to work out.
I am here to reassure everyone that DC will regroup and it will get better. I am not predicting brilliance(just yet) but it will get better.
Re: "It isn't easy replacing dominance"
Boy does it get annoying hearing this again and again. It like people are buying into the media saying that we suck and have no offense without Moss. There is only one person I am missing on offense is Birk and I think the biggest weakness of our line is the center and RG spots but Johnson will get better with experience and there is no quick fix just work with who we got together and when they gell we'll be fine though I hope Goldberg, Herrera, or Fowler eventually replace Withrow.Minnesota Vikings : Simply the best

Re: "It isn't easy replacing dominance"
Slow down, people. Why is it that everytime someone posts anything even remotely related to Moss, everyone reacts like Packer fans being told that Favre should retire?
Regardless of your personal feelings about whether or not Moss was good or bad for the team overall, it is undeniable that with him on the field we were ALWAYS in a position to score. Does anyone have that feeling right now?
Moss was the "best decoy in the NFL" according to Culpepper...and he was right. Moss also opened up our running game. The fact that entire schemes had to be put into place in an attempt to slow him down is indicative of the level of ability he brought to the game.
Now, I understand that Culpepper will not (hopefully) spend the entire season in the funk he was in versus Tampa. Heck, even the staunchest Moss supporter knows that. But, until we start seeing 20-30 points per game being scored again...by OUR team, not the other guys...people will be looking back at the Moss Years and saying, "What did we really gain"? Defending it by saying, "We never won a SB with Moss" doesn't really fly, because we also spent the "Moss Years" waaaaaaay below the salary cap.
So, it isn't just PurplePackerEater and a handful of Moss fans who are bringing this up over and over, it's the MEDIA as well. The same jokers that were blathering on about how badly we needed to get rid of Moss are now the dip wads telling us we messed up by doing so. And all on the strength of ONE GAME.
Face it, the Moss issue isn't going to go away until the Vikes prove that they ARE better without him. Jumping on people who still wish that Moss was here is a little like jumping on someone who wishes that Elvis were still alive. They obviously know he's dead (Well....most of them do), but they miss what they had.
So, if you don't like a Moss thread, don't post in it. I am less annoyed by someone posting something up about Moss than I am by the horde of people who IMMEDIATELY leap on the thread to demean the poster for speaking their mind. Moss is gone, we all know that, repeating it doesn't change the fact that our Offense - so far - isn't as potent as it was.
For the record, I disapprove of the Moss trade. I think it was stupid. I still see absolutely no reason why we even considered it. And I think that the majority of negative sentiment is mostly fueled by overblown media sensationalism. And, I see no reason to "get over it" until such time as the Vikings prove me wrong by dominating defenses with high powered offense. I don't remotely think Moss was a "cancer", and I don't for one second believe that we couldn't have added the people we did without trading Moss...not with our cap room last year.
No, I don't go around posting about how much I miss Moss. I have faith that our Offense will get on track. But that doesn't mean that I don't believe that we're taking the long road to get there.

How many games has the raider won with Moss?
1 person dosnt win u games. now get over the hole moss is gone hes gone and i glad he is
Re: "It isn't easy replacing dominance"
The media will NEVER shut up about Moss, the same guys that were saying we should get rid of him while he was here are saying it's hurting us, not having him.
Even if we win the Superbowl (this year or next), the same people that are saying our biggest weakness is the lack of Moss, will be saying we won the Superbowl b/c we got rid of Moss. It will never stop, and they will never settle, switching opinions to whatever they feel makes them appear smarter that week.542cbf305f333b0554e8ffa937f852d6

Moss is one man, he has no superbowl rings. This is a team game. We lost a close game last week because we turned the ball over. If you are trying to pull an "I told you so" after week one you are off your rocker.

Rio Teeth Whitening Kit
Quick, safe and simple to use, the specially formulated whitening gel combined with blue light technology work rapidly to remove surface and embedded tooth stains such as those caused by tea, coffee, red wine and discolouration due to smoking and ageing.
Supplied with 3 whitening gels and battery operated, Blue Light Teeth Whitening is perfect for everyday use and compact enough to go anywhere with you.
Handy Tips: In most cases you will start to see results immediately after the first treatment. It is not unusual for teeth to whiten by several shades during the first few applications.
However, results do vary from user to user. Yellow stains respond very quickly and dramatically in comparison to dull, blue/grey stains which are poor to respond. If you have particularly deep staining to your teeth a number of treatments may be required.
The treatment is safe to use weekly or even daily for the first month. Once you have reached your goal we recommend top-up treatments once a month, providing you take proper care of your teeth.RIO helpline: 01242 702 345.

Rio Acrylic Nails Kit
Quick Dip Acrylic Extensions employs a newly developed acrylic dipping powder to give thin, strong, natural looking nails quickly and easily. The professional finish looks beautiful with or without polish.
Nail extensions are more hard wearing and are not so easily flexed as natural nails, giving nail polish a longer life and greater chip resistance.
Handy Tips:Allow plenty of time. As a novice it may take up to two hours to do a full set of nails. Once practised, you should be able to do everything in as little as 40 minutes.
Unlike other nail extension tips this method does not require the nail plate to be dehydrated. Therefore it is important not to use acetone or finishing wipes when preparing the nails. If you use a tip blender or acetone to blend your tips, the nails must be washed thoroughly with mild soap before applying the resin.
To maintain your nail extensions, file the seams and around the free-edge regularly between in fills. Apply a little cuticle oil to the nails nightly, rubbing into the cuticle. Apply hand moisturiser at least once a day.

Dental Polisher is an easy to use dental hygiene and tooth whitening regime, helping to eliminate the dangerous build up of plaque, whilst also removing stains and reducing discolouration.
Plaque is one of the underlying factors behind the cause of tooth decay. It is a colourless, sticky layer of bacteria that builds up on the surface of the teeth which reacts with the sugars and starches found in the foods we eat and drink. This reaction produces acids which attack the tooth enamel, leaving it vulnerable to cavities.
Regular cleaning in-between the teeth and below the gum line should be an essential part of your dental regime to help prevent plaque build-up and gum disease. This can be achieved with the Dental Polisher which comes complete with an interdental pik, plaque removal tool and stain eraser.
The dental polisher will help to remove stains and discolouration on the front teeth. It will also shine and polish the front teeth.
Interdental Pik is used to remove food particles, plaque and tartar build-up from the hard to reach places between your teeth and gums.
Plaque Removal Tool allows plaque and tartar build up to be wiped away from the surrounding areas on the surface of the teeth and gums.
• No more than a few seconds should be spent polishing each tooth. Too much polishing can cause slow erosion of tooth enamel.
• This product is for single person use to avoid any possibility of cross infection of gum disease.
• The dental polisher must not be used more than twice a month. You are advised to brush your teeth twice a day and continue to use the interdental pik, plaque removal tool and stain eraser whenever needed.RIO helpline: 01242 702 345.

Full report: PM insists fracking will bring benefits
Cheaper energy bills and tens of thousands of new jobs. Today the Prime Minister said he thought the benefits were too great to ignore as he stressed his support for fracking, even in populated areas of the South.
There are three potential sites in the region. Test drilling has already been been carried out at Cowden near Tunbridge Wells. Tests are underway at at Balcombe in Sussex and planning pernission granted for exploratory work at a site near Sandwich. Around 40 more sites are being looked at.
This week, hundreds of protesters are expected to join an existing protest at Balcombe to set up a climate camp - which will call for fracking to be banned. Andy Dickenson has been there to gauge reaction.

Then, Pitt Panthur, Bastion Collagge, Mia Mee and Virginia Teck showed up at her office door. They were all on their way to Bennigan's and wanted to know if she'd like to join them. Never one to turn down a good Monte Cristo Sandwich, she agreed and joined them. Together again, along with an entirely new group of co-workers in a company that has it's eye on the future. Sara tried her best to find that at Big East Corp but they refused. No one could call her disloyal or greedy for looking elsewhere to find it then, right? Right. Sara had the best Monte Cristo Sandwich of her life that day. And she knew there were many more to come.Sean Keeley over at 'Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician' has an excellent summation of Big East history that is both amusing and, dare I say, melancholic.

These compelling stories come from our heroes – the people who've had or been close to this terrible disease. These individuals inspire us to keep going – and to stay on mission until we've found a cure. If you have a breast cancer story that you would like to share, please email email@example.com.
Rosalind Bartlett – SurvivorMy name is Rosalind Bartlett, and I live in Kansas City, Mo. I am a 19-year breast cancer survivor. I bowl in a senior league and I proudly wear my Bowl for the Cure shirt to let others know that there is life after breast cancer.
Susan E. Marple – SurvivorMy name is Susan, I became a breast cancer survivor 20 years on Jan 5, 2013. On Jan. 5 1993, the same day I had my last chemo treatment, was also my 50th birthday! It was not the most "fun" 50th birthday celebration of my life, but it was among the most significant.In the fall of 1992, I went to my PMD for my annual physical. As per my usual, I expected to leave happily after the doctor says "keep up whatever you are doing, you're doing a great job" and see you next year. Not this time. I had my mammogram and routine blood tests done prior to my visit, as usual, so the doctor would be prepared to discuss how really well I'm doing.So I was thinking.
The doctor was already sitting with my chart on her desk when I walked into the room. After some light conversation, I'm still waiting for the good words. Not this day. "You had an abnormal mammogram. I've arranged appointments for you to see an oncologist and a surgeon immediately, this week." What a shocking, unexpected, unpleasant surprise that was! No family history, non-smoker, not overweight, no lumps, no clue! I had the "invasive moderate growing kind". It was the beginning of a year of physicians, surgeons, chemotherapy, sickness, loss of hair and an overwhelming sense of chronic exhaustion. Cancer is an evil that disrupts families and kills people!I had a single mastectomy with reconstructive surgery. I was fortunate "they got it all and there was no lymph node involvement". Everything has a silver lining! I confronted the chemo, not always being a good sport about it, but realizing it as a means to an end. My oncologists and their nurses were Heaven sent. Suddenly, I realized how truly fortunate I was to have the cancer on the OUTSIDE of my body! My chance against recurrence was 98%! I could live with that – for a very long time possibly! I started a workout program so that when it was time to return to work, I could be strong enough to manage my family, together with my sometimes chaotic ER duties and hectic daily schedule.I eventually returned to work as an RN in a Boston ER. I had been the recipient of outpourings of love and care from church family, family co-workers and friends for the entire previous year. Returning to my life in the real world was exhilarating and exciting. I never asked God "why me" nor did I blame Him for the "lost year" of my life. However, I did thank Him for the renewed life I was enjoying after all was done. Cancer can really make you get your priorities straight – in a hurry! I am in good health, still have annual physical exams, mammograms and whatever else I'm told to do that is age appropriate. I am happy and I count my blessings daily. Not taking my good health for granted anymore, either!
Pamela Perkins – FriendI have a dear friend, Kay, who recently has been battling with breast cancer. Kay is in one of our bowling leagues, "Tuesday Express" at Westview Lanes in Waco, Texas. She has been bowling for numerous years, been in bowling tournaments and has been an officer in our league.Kay is like some women that have never had mammograms nor did she do self-exams. The word breast cancer is such a frightening word. When you hear those words from the doctor – "you have breast cancer" – the first thing comes to your mind is "I am going to die"! There is so much HOPE today though!It was one of those hot days of Texas when Kay discovered she had a lump in her breast while in the shower. Kay went to the doctor the next day and they did confirm that she did have breast cancer. She has had three surgeries since then. She was praying that they could save her breast but ended up having the mastectomy. The mastectomy is a very dramatic emotional experience for a woman! Kay is thankful for her bowling friends that she received a lot of support. Kay will take the chemo pill for five years.We are thankful for all the organizations that raise money for breast cancer research and awareness! Especially Bowl for the Cure and the merchandise they sell. Every bit helps!Thank you so much Untied States Bowling Congress for your ongoing support.
April Kasch – SurvivorI am a wife of 17 years. Together my husband and I have six children, and we have four grandchildren. Everyone in our family loves to bowl, either occasionally or on leagues. I work full time at an electric co-operative and seasonally I prepare taxes. I enjoy bowling and working with the youth bowlers on the weekends. I have served as a director on the local association's board for four years. I have been bowling on and off since 1985.I was diagnosed on Aug 13, 2010, when I was 47 years old. My cancer was found merely by accident, really. You see both my mother and my little sister have had breast cancer. I have been going for my annual mammograms as early detection is key. In June 2010 when my surgeon found yet another suspicious lump on the left side, he recommended that if the biopsy came back negative again, that maybe I should consider talking with an oncologist to see what kind of preventive measures I could take to help deter the development of cancer. The biopsy in June came back negative and he set me up with an oncologist in July. After discussing my mom and sister's cases, the oncologist ordered a baseline MRI. The MRI showed possible cancer in the right breast, the opposite side that caused the referral to begin with! The oncologist then ordered a biopsy of the area the MRI picked up which was only 1.0 cm in length and approximately .2 cm in diameter! The biopsy was done on Aug 13, 2010 came back positive for invasive ductile carcinoma. I was referred back to my surgeon to discuss my options. Since the cancer was caught so early, it was small enough to offer me several choices for treatment. Due to my family history, I opted to have both breasts removed. I explained to my doctor that I was a bowler and that there wasn't anything I loved to do more in life than bowl. I explained to him that the new season would be starting and I had plans of bowling in the nationals tournament that next year. He explained that as long as everything went well, best-case scenario would be no bowling for three to six weeks. The night before my surgery was the last night I would bowl for a while. That night, I bowled my best game ever – 247 with a 613 series. Woo-hoo! My average at the time was a 169. The next day I told my surgeon I wanted to get a 250 one day so he had to do an awesome job, not just a great job. The surgery went well. I only stayed in the hospital one day. I had lots of support from family and friends during my recovery; however, I was very anxious to get back to everyday life. So the fourth week after my surgery, I was back bowling! On March 6, 2011, my average had increased to 178. That night I rolled a 258 game/ 618 series. I was so excited! I got that 250 I was shooting for!!

What does "let's pretend their sheer …" mean? What is a 'sheer', and how do other people own it? I think you need to read this :
their = something owned by other people ("it's their party")
they're = they are ("let's pretend they're coming")
there = preposition denoting a place ("it's over there")
"their sheer brilliance"
i.e. "their brilliance, which is sheer."
