1. Go to a peaceful, serene spot that you feel most calm in. It must be quiet and free of clutter. 2. Close your eyes and get into a comfortable seated position. Take six deep breaths with a count of six seconds on the inhale through the nose and four seconds on the exhale out of the mouth. Deep breathing for a total of a minute should help you quiet the mind and calm the body. 3. Focus on who/what you need to forgive. It can be yourself or a loved one. It can be an event, argument, illness, loss, etc. Ask yourself: What is ailing you presently? What are you holding onto? What did that person say to you that you just cant seem to get over/forgive? Send them love and compassion and most of all, forgiveness. They need your love more than anyone. Surrender it and watch it pass in front of you and out into the Universe. Be free. 4. Take a big deep breath. Six count inhale through the nose and 4 count exhale out of mouth. Let it go. 5. After you have completed the Forgiveness Meditation, let your mind take you to all the wonderful things you have right now in your life. Speak softly to yourself and reflect on the abundance you have in your life at this present moment. Make a mental list of all the things and people you are grateful for. 6. Take a big deep breath. Six count inhale through the nose and four count exhale out of mouth. Smile. Forgiveness and Gratitude unlock the door to a happier, healthy life. When you are stuck in resentment, depression and despair, you lose sight of the wonderful things around you and are not willing to listen, to change, to grow, to heal. Keep practicing this simple meditation. Give yourself just five minutes of self-love a day. Once you are free of resentment, you can unlock the power of gratitude. The willingness to listen to yourself and others becomes easier. Now, your best self can shine forward and happiness arrives....http://www.elephantjournal.com/
This meditation uses words, images, and feelings to evoke a lovingkindness and friendliness toward oneself and others. With each recitation of the phrases, we are expressing an intention, planting the seeds of loving wishes over and over in our heart.
With a loving heart as the background, all that we attempt, all that we encounter will open and flow more easily. You can begin the practice of lovingkindness by meditating for fifteen or twenty minutes in a quiet place. Let yourself sit in a comfortable fashion. Let your body rest and be relaxed. Let your heart be soft. Let go of any plans or preoccupations.
Begin with yourself. Breathe gently, and recite inwardly the following traditional phrases directed toward our own well-being. You being with yourself because without loving yourself it is almost impossible to love others.
May I be filled with lovingkindness.
May I be safe from inner and outer dangers.
May I be well in body and mind.
May I be at ease and happy.
As you repeat these phrases, picture yourself as you are now, and hold that image in a heart of lovingkindness. Or perhaps you will find it easier to picture yourself as a young and beloved child. Adjust the words and images in any way you wish. Create the exact phrases that best open your heart of kindness. Repeat these phrases over and over again, letting the feelings permeate your body and mind. Practice this meditation for a number of weeks, until the sense of lovingkindness for yourself grows.
Be aware that this meditation may at times feel mechanical or awkward. It can also bring up feelings contrary to lovingkindness, feelings of irritation and anger. If this happens, it is especially important to be patient and kind toward yourself, allowing whatever arises to be received in a spirit of friendliness and kind affection. When you feel you have established some stronger sense of lovingkindness for yourself, you can then expand your meditation to include others. After focusing on yourself for five or ten minutes, choose a benefactor, someone in your life who has loved and truly cared for you. Picture this person and carefully recite the same phrases:
May you be filled with lovingkindness.
May you be safe from inner and outer dangers.
May you be well in body and mind.
May you be at ease and happy.
Let the image and feelings you have for your benefactor support the meditation. Whether the image or feelings are clear or not does not matter. In meditation they will be subject to change. Simply continue to plant the seeds of loving wishes, repeating the phrases gently no matter what arises.
Expressing gratitude to our benefactors is a natural form of love. In fact, some people find lovingkindness for themselves so hard, they begin their practice with a benefactor. This too is fine. The rule in lovingkindness practice is to follow the way that most easily opens your heart.
When lovingkindness for your benefactor has developed, you can gradually begin to include other people in your meditation. Picturing each beloved person, recite inwardly the same phrases, evoking a sense of lovingkindness for each person in turn.
After this you can include others: Spend some time wishing well to a wider circle of friends. Then gradually extend your meditation to picture and include community members, neighbors, people everywhere, animals, all beings, the whole earth.
Finally, include the difficult people in your life, even your enemies, wishing that they too may be filled with lovingkindness and peace. This will take practice. But as your heart opens, first to loved ones and friends, you will find that in the end you won't want to close it anymore.
Lovingkindness can be practiced anywhere. You can use this meditation in traffic jams, in buses, and on airplanes. As you silently practice this meditation among people, you will come to feel a wonderful connection with them – the power of lovingkindness. It will calm your mind and keep you connected to your heart......http://www.jackkornfield.com/
To cultivate compassion, let yourself sit in a centered and quiet way. In this traditional form of practice you will combine a repeated inner intention with visualization and the evocation of the feeling of compassion. As you first sit, breathe softly and feel your body, your heartbeat, the life within you. Feel how you treasure your own life, how you guard yourself in the face of your sorrows. After some time, bring to mind someone close to you whom you dearly love. Picture them and feel your natural caring for them. Notice how you hold them in your heart. Then let yourself be aware of their measure of sorrows, their suffering in life. Feel how your heart opens to wish them well, to extend comfort, to share in their pain and meet it with compassion. This is the natural response of the heart. Inwardly recite the phrases:
May you be held in compassion.
May you be free from pain and sorrow.
May you be at peace.
Continue reciting all the while you are holding them in your heart. You can modify these phrases any way that makes them true to your heart's intention.
After a few minutes, turn your compassion toward yourself and the measure of sorrows you carry. Recite the same phrases:
May I be held in compassion.
May I be free from pain and sorrow.
May I be at peace.
After a time, begin to extend compassion to others you know. Picture loved ones, one after another. Hold the image of each in your heart, be aware of their difficulties, and wish them well with the same phrases.
Then you can open your compassion further, a step at a time, to the suffering of your friends, to your neighbors, to your community, to all who suffer, to difficult people, to your enemies, and finally to the brotherhood and sisterhood of all beings. Sense your tenderhearted connection with all life and its creatures.
Work with compassion practice intuitively. At times it may feel difficult, as though we might be overwhelmed by the pain. Remember, we are not trying to "fix" the pain of the world, only to meet it with a compassionate heart. Relax and be gentle. Breathe. Let your breath and heart rest naturally, as a center of compassion in the midst of the world......http://www.jackkornfield.com/
Imagine yourself on a sunny beach, where you walk across the sand toward the water. It's a beautiful, calm day, and it appears easy to swim past the surf to where you can see the fountains spouting from the backs of the whales that are playing just off the coast. As soon as you enter the water and start swimming, you can hear their song. Tune to it.Whale music moves through you like energy, penetrating to your core and entering your bones. There is no separation between you and the sound, for it is the beginning and end of everything. It is the intersection point in time where now, then, and everywhere come together.There is amazing healing power in this song, providing a way to connect with all consciousness. Notice how you can get folded up in it. Release yourself completely and get lost in the song. Even sight vanishes within this feeling.Once you start vibrating to this sound, you understand your connection to the entire creation. This knowledge brings with it a great feeling of peace that can enhance your healing of yourself, each other, and the world. Once you vibrate with this song, it never leaves you. You are tuned, and you can always enter the song, for it is the song of the universe.Gradually your consciousness differentiates the sound of the waves on the water from the song. You are back on the beach, under a night sky filled with stars. The music is still there, and all sense of separation is gone.
Ocean Meditation~Like us, the sea is ever-changing. And, like us, the earth's vast oceans appear at a distance to be stable and homogenous. But beneath the mask of solidity that both we and the sea wear, there lies unpredictability, sensitivity, and power. There is much we can learn from the ocean, representative as it is of our inner landscapes. The rough sounds of the sea's waves are spiritually soothing, and its salt can purify our physical selves. Yet not everyone has the luxury of living by the shore or even visiting the coastlines where water and land meet. The ocean, however, exists in our conscious minds, put there by images we have seen and descriptions we have read. Wherever we are, we can access that mental image and use it as the starting point from which we can help to heal our emotions by meditating on the sea.To begin, gather together any ocean artifacts you may have on hand. Seashells, a vial of sand, beach glass, stones rubbed smooth by the pounding surf, or a recording of ocean sounds can help you slip more deeply into this meditation, but they are not necessary. Sit quietly and visualize the ocean in your mind's eye. Allow all of your senses to participate in your mental journey. Feel the tiny grains of sand beneath your feet and the cool spray of mist; hear the sea's rhythmic roar as the waves meet the beach and retreat; smell the tang of salt in the air. Watch the sun's rays play over the ocean's surface, creating shifting spots of teal, cerulean, cobalt, and green. Don't be surprised if you see dolphins or whales frolicking in the waves—they are there to assist you. Spend a few minutes drinking in the ocean's beauty and appreciating its vast splendor.Once you are fully engaged with the setting before you, visualize yourself sitting on the beach, facing the ocean, and watching the waves advance and retreat. As each new wave of seawater approaches, imagine it carrying healing energy toward you. The magnificent ocean in your thoughts is sending you light and love while the sun supports your healing efforts and Mother Earth grounds you in the moment so healing can occur. When you feel you are finished, grant the ocean your earnest gratitude for the aid it has given you. Thank the sun, the sand, and any other elements of your visualization that offered you guidance. Perform this meditation daily or monthly in order to rid yourself of negativity and reestablish emotional equilibrium. Just as the ocean's tides sweep the shores free of detritus, restoring balance, so can the waves in our mind's eye cleanse our souls of what no longer serves us.
I am larger and better than I thought. I did not know I held so much goodness."
- Walt Whitman
Finally, include the difficult people in your life, even your enemies, wishing that they too may be filled with lovingkindness and peace. This will take practice. But as your heart opens, first to loved ones and friends, you will find that in the end you won't want to close it anymore.
Lovingkindness can be practiced anywhere. You can use this meditation in traffic jams, in buses, and on airplanes. As you silently practice this meditation among people, you will come to feel a wonderful connection with them - the power of lovingkindness. It will calm your mind and keep you connected to your heart.

"At first we kept saying: 'We're going to beat it. We're going to beat it.' Then after awhile we began to realize that we might not beat it. Then toward the end, it became clear that we definitely weren't going to beat it. That's when she started telling me that she wanted me to move on and find happiness with somebody else. But I'm not quite there yet. Not long ago a noise woke me up in the middle of the night, and I rolled over to ask if she needed anything."
#Nowplaying @NO. It's only January but I can already tell this album will be a contender on my year-end list. "El Prado" releases on Feb. 18th. In the meantime, checkout their EP "Don't Worry, You'll Be Here Forever." The new album has a lot of the songs off the EP. You'll get the gist.
I keep a running list on my phone of my favorite albums that released during the year. A lot of albums go on the list - they are rearranged and refined over time as I listen to them more and more throughout the year. These are my favorite 10 of 2013. Hopefully they provide you with as much pleasure as they have provided me.

If you've got a taste for big hair, broad Texas accents, and gay rights, this mixture of white-trash comedy and coming-out melodrama is for you. Sordid Lives starts out as chicken-fried farce, as a funeral is prepared for a woman who died when she tripped over her adulterous lover's wooden legs; about midway the emphasis shifts to a drag queen unfairly held in a mental institution and the dead woman's grandson, an actor in Los Angeles who hasn't come out to his mother. The tone shifts wildly, and the humor depends on your fondness for the white-trash genre--if you like it, this will tickle your ribs; if you don't, it'll fall flat as the panhandle landscape. But it must be said that the cast (including Bonnie Bedelia, Beau Bridges, Delta Burke, and Olivia Newton-John) dives right in, no matter how over-the-top their characters get. --Bret Fetzer

Danielle Lineker is a Welsh model and actress.
She appeared on Hell's Kitchen back in 2009.
She's a big supporter of Born Free, Nicholl's Foundation, Spinal Research, and the Welsh NSPCA. Although we presume she wants to protect all animals from cruelty, not just Welsh ones.
Have you seen Gary Lineker? Of course you have – you've either watched football or purchased a packet of Walkers at some point in your life, unless you're a robot or something like that – and you can probably describe how attractive he is. He's not bad-looking, but he's got ears that slow him down in a heavy wind and an unstinting obsession to acquire crisps at any cost, no matter the danger to himself or others.
And yet – and yet, he's married to this lady. This incredibly beautiful lady, hailing from the valleys of Wales like a younger Catherine Zeta Jones – in fact, she looks a lot like ol' CZJ, crossed with Cheryl Cole. Which is kind of a magic combination if you think about it.
Danielle Lineker (née Bux) started modelling at the age of 18, after winning a place in the Miss Hawaiian Tropic contest in Las Vegas USA – not very Welsh at all, really, when you think about it but let's carry on – and has done things (where "things" generally involve looking fantastic without very many clothes on) for various companies, including La Senza, and appeared on the front cover of Maxim, back when it was a magazine and not just a website.
Danielle made her stage debut in January 2011 in nudie-shooting comedy Calendar Girls alongside Jennifer Ellison and Lynda Bellingham. You know, the mum off the old Bisto adverts. You had a crush on her. We all had a crush on her, it's okay. We wish Danielle the best of luck in all her future acting endeavours – she's trained as a professional actor, studying Shakespeare and all that, for two years. Which is quite impressive, we think.
A living legend, she just keeps giving
An actress with determination and raw talent
Britain's finest institution
Blue-eyed soapstar gold
Corrie's hottest storyline
A very sexy young lady
Has undeniably made the most of her abilities
Mathematically speaking, she's fit
Di Caprio dating, Israeli, war shirker
Farm girl who'd ride your horse any day... in a swimsuit
Got rid of Affleck, we forgave her everything

"Portlandia" returns with Martina Navratilova and Carrie Brownstein at her best
Portlandia premiered its third season last Friday on IFC and fans of the show were not let down. The show has been on long enough now to develop Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein's major characters, including the Women and Women First bookstore pair that predate the show, as they were part of the initial Thunderant web series. Bookstore employees Candace and Toni are the stoic feminists that judge their customers, their journaling group and any unsuspecting person who wanders into their store. Sometimes they even seduce Heather Graham. But on this week's episode, Candace and Toni will take on a bad Yelp review written by none other than Martina Navratilova.
One of the great things about Portlandia is their ability to book guest stars that are able to show they have a sense of humor about themselves. In Season 1, Aimee Mann and Sarah McLachlan poked fun at their music careers, and joining Martina this season will be Chloe Sevigny who admitted during the TCA panel for the show this week she thought she wouldn't be right for the show because she hadn't done much improv prior to finally giving in and shooting some episodes of the show.
Also this season it really feels like Carrie Brownstein is at her best, playing more characters and donning more wigs than ever and matching the more experienced Fred Armisen. The musician-turned-TV star talked with us about working with Martina and when we can expect a new Wild Flag album.
AfterEllen.com: How did you guys get Martina on the show?
Carrie Brownstein: Well, we asked. We were like "This is the perfect person" and it was awesome. It was the most starstruck my crew has been, and myself included. I had this realization later and I was trying to figure out "Why am I more nervous? Why am I more excited about Martina Navratilova than these other actors?" Athletes — their expectations are to only be great for a moment. So if you can achieve greatness during the whole time you're supposed to, then you can live with that forever. Whereas with other people, we have to see them grow old and it's awkward and their careers fade but Martina Navratilova, she was one of the best and there's very few people in her category. So it was really exciting.
AE: Was she up for anything?
CB: We really wanted to play ping pong. We had this idea where we'd end up playing ping pong in a bar against her, but then we were shooting so late that night and she was tired. She was up for anything, and she was such a natural.
AE: You brought back a lot of local Portland actors this season — what guest stars will be reappearing?
CB: Jeff Goldblum came back and, aside from Kyle, those are the three non-local actors that came back. We brought back almost every local actor that's appeared in Seasons 1 and 2. We're kind of more deliberate of having it feel like more of a cast. Like even today, jut showing up with Kyle [MacLachlan] and Chloe, it's like "We're a real show!"
AE: I have to ask, when will we get another Wild Flag album?
CB: I think not right now because I'm writing a book and I felt like I needed to be home for a while and not touring or in that kind of frenetic music world. Because I just can't write when I'm traveling. So less music this year, more writing. Next year! Everyone is working on other projects.
AE: Your bandmates are all fans of Portlandia?
CB: I think that they are. [Drummer] Janet [Weiss] worked on the show this year.
AE: Why wasn't [musician] Annie [Clark] (aka musician and Season 2 guest star St. Vincent) back on the show this year?
CB: I don't know!
During the show's panel at TCA, Carrie said her favorite characters this season are the recurring Peter and Nance, who we first met in Season 1 while visiting a chicken farm where their dinner came from. This season, they open up a bed and breakfast and will likely get into some awkward situations with patrons.
"Peter and Nance are a very unctuous and cloying couple. They formed such an imperfect boundary with one another, and so it's very easy to create tension with them because anytime that they're put in conflict or have anything that might separate them, there's so much strife, so it's really fun to play with this dynamic of just intense closeness that can so easily just be thwarted," Carrie said. "And I'm just, in real life, just a lot need a lot more distance, so it's good practice in close proximity to play Nance and Peter. I like it a lot."
Portlandia airs Friday nights on IFC.

Counterparties: Bushmasters and baksheesh
Welcome to the Counterparties email. The sign-up page is here, it's just a matter of checking a box if you're already registered on the Reuters website. Send suggestions, story tips and complaints to email@example.com.
We found out in April, thanks to the NYT's David Barstow, that Wal-Mart de Mexico was a corrupt organization and that the US parent company had seemingly no interest in what was going on there. But just how bad did things get? Barstow's now back, showing that the corruption at Mexico's largest employer was systemic and integral to its growth:
Wal-Mart de Mexico was an aggressive and creative corrupter, offering large payoffs to get what the law otherwise prohibited. It used bribes to subvert democratic governance — public votes, open debates, transparent procedures. It used bribes to circumvent regulatory safeguards that protect Mexican citizens from unsafe construction. It used bribes to outflank rivals.
Through confidential Wal-Mart documents, The Times identified 19 store sites across Mexico that were the target of Wal-Mart de Mexico'Äôs bribes… Over and over, for example, the dates of bribe payments coincided with dates when critical permits were issued. Again and again, the strictly forbidden became miraculously attainable.
In the wake of the initial NYT report, Wal-Mart has spent $100 million investigating the bribes, including the ¬Ýcorruption scandal at Wal-Mart'Äôs Indian joint venture; it is also the subject of a criminal investigation, part of a larger move by the Justice Department to crack down on violators of the¬ÝForeign Corrupt Practices Act.
Ira Stoll says that Wal-Mart isn'Äôt the only villain in this story: he'Äôs disappointed that local Mexican officials who accept bribes are largely given a pass by the NYT. Also unexplored, he says, is the idea that regulations all too often 'Äúserve to enrich the people who write the regulations'Äù. The Atlantic Wire'Äôs Adam Clark Estes¬Ýpoints out that part of the problem is the size of the bribes a global behemoth like Wal-Mart can pay compared to local incomes. For example, one mayor with an annual salary of $47,000 was given $114,000 in cash over a single year.
Corruption isn'Äôt the only controversy Wal-Mart is facing. On Monday, it pulled the Bushmaster AR-15, the gun that killed 26 people in Newtown, from its shelves. The NYT also hints that there are further shoes to drop in the story of Wal-Mart'Äôs corruption: today'Äôs story is presented as Part 2 of a series. Here's looking forward to Part 3. — Ben Walsh

How about another proposed tax change?
Limit tax-deferred accounts to $2M per individual, combined. Forced (taxable) withdrawals of any excess. Alternatively, you could prohibit new contributions once accounts total $1M.
Not sure what the rationale is for the low IRA limits anyways. The wealthy have far more generous contribution limits, and even a middle class family will sometimes have more than $10k to save in a given year.
As usual, we liberals are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
We are wasting an opportunity, and handing the conservatives more base-energizing (and expanding) ammunition in one incompetent stumble, cheering all the while.
Most of us aren't getting the terms of this discussion wrong, we're getting the problem itself wrong.
Further restricting firearms ownership when the problem is actually the social darwinism at all levels of society that leaves people to become so broken and desperate that they give in to their sick urge to take lives, does nothing.
The only two things that could actually significantly reduce firearms deaths – ending the Drug War and implementing single payer healthcare with on demand mental health and addiction services – seem mostly neglected in these discussions.
Anyone that actually cares about reducing violence of all types, and gun violence in particular, should be focusing on the CAUSES, not the SYMPTOM.
We should be flogging how the ACA would improve these services, not fapping about restricting the rights of the law abiding. We should be pushing to expand it to further improve these services.
We should be having the discussion about ending the drug war that creates the black market that creates and feeds the cartels and their satellite gangs and distribution networks. The flawed laws that cage casual users with hardened criminals in prisons that are more run by gangs than wardens or guards. Ie, the cause of most violence, particularly firearms violence.
Momentum is on our side, it's up to us how to use it, how we frame the issue.
But here we are, discussing the symptom instead of addressing the actual problem.
It's as if two sides of a partisan donation machine – the NRA and the equally malevolent Brady anti-gun lobby – are cynically manipulating their respective demographics for profit. Have no doubts, each requires the other to stampede their respective constituencies in the desired direction.
Focusing on anything beyond closing the gunshow loophole and improving mental health reporting will do absolutely nothing to curb violence.
CT is rated to be the fifth "best" state for gun laws according to the Brady Campaign which means they are more restrictive than 45 other states on various laws relating to firearms."
Clearly that worked well for them on Friday.
An assault weapons ban or attempts to restrict magazine size will *cause* violence in the form of right wing terrorism, as demonstrated throughout the 90s.
An all out ban will cause even liberals like myself to think twice about the reasons behind the open insurrection that would result. And that doesn't take into account the thousands of lives it would cost.
Assuming you could actually get any of these passed, common sense or not.
A complete waste of political capital.

Shotgun Joe's advice: Don't take it
This week, Biden shared advice he gave to his wife. "I said, 'Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house. You don't need an AR-15 - it's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun! Buy a shotgun!"
The man put in charge of the Obama administration's gun-control initiative recommends firing two warning blasts from a double-barreled shotgun. What if the intruder is not scared away? You'd better be quick at reloading. Also, how is public safety improved by encouraging people to fire shotguns off the balcony instead of taking aim (whether firing or not) directly at intruders?
The worst part of this advice, though, is that yet again the administration ignores the reason we have a Second Amendment. It is not for sport or self-defense. Those are excellent uses for weapons kept legally under the Second Amendment. But the amendment exists because weapons are "necessary to the security of a free state." Funny how the administration never brings that up.

Dear Dr. Talbert:
The purpose of this Warning Letter is to inform you of objectionable conditions found during a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection conducted at your clinical site, to discuss your written response to the deviations noted, and to request a prompt reply, informing us of your corrective actions. The inspection took place during the period of May 6 - May 16, 2002, and was conducted by Ms. Pamela M. Thomas, an investigator from FDA?s New Orleans District Office. The purpose of the inspection was to determine if your activities as clinical investigator in [redacted] comply with applicable FDA regulations. These catheters are devices, as that term is defined in Section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act)
The inspection was conducted under a program designed to ensure that data and information contained in requests for Investigational Device Exemptions (IDE), Premarket Approval Applications (PMA), and Premarket Notification (510(k)) submissions are scientifically valid and accurate. Another objective of the program is to ensure that human subjects are protected from undue hazard or risk during the course of scientific investigations.
Our review of the inspection report prepared by the district office revealed serious violations of Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR), Part 812 -Investigational Device Exemptions, Part 50 - Protection of Human Subjects, and Section 520(g) of the Act. You received a Form FDA-483, "Inspectional Observations," at the conclusion of the inspection that listed the deviations noted and discussed with you. We acknowledge receipt of a copy of your response to Mr. Howard Lewis, Nashville Branch Director, New Orleans District Office, dated June 10, 2002. The deviations noted on the FDA-483, our subsequent review of the inspection report, and your responses to the FDA-483 items are discussed below.
The deviations noted include:
Failure to report unanticipated adverse device effects or deaths in a timely manner to the sponsor and to the reviewing IRB. [21 CFR 812.150(a)(1)]
You failed to report to the sponsor or the reviewing IRB, within the required time period, the occurrence of pneumothorax requiring placement of a chest tube, atrial fibrillation requiring cardioversion, and subsequently, death of subject [redacted].
You also failed to report in a timely manner that subject [redacted] required placement of a pacemaker to treat ventricular required to report to the sponsor and to the reviewing IRB any unanticipated adverse device effects as soon as possible, but in no event later than ten working days after the investigator first learns of the effect. Furthermore, the Investigational Plan for the study indicates that all serious and/or unanticipated adverse events and patient deaths must be reported to the sponsor (by phone) within 24 hours of the receipt of information by the investigational site and faxed to the sponsor within five working days of the event.
Failure to obtain signed and dated study informed consent documents from all study subjects prior to participation in the study. (21 CFR 812.100, 50.20, and 50.27)
Several study subjects signed and/or dated the informed consent document after undergoing [redacted] echocardiograms. As stated in 21 CFR 812.100, an investigator is for ensuring that informed consent is obtained in accordance with 21 CFR Part 50. According to 21 CFR 50.20, no investigator may involve a human being in an investigational study unless the investigator has obtained the legally effective informed consent of the subject or the subject?s legally authorized representative. Moreover, 21 CFR 50.27 requires that informed consent be documented by the use of a written consent form approved by the institutional review board (IRB) and signed and dated by the subject or the subject?s legally authorized representative.
Failure to conduct the study in accordance with the investigational plan. (21 CFR 812.100 and 812.110(b))
Follow-up examinations were to have been conducted at [redacted] again at [redacted] after the [redacted] procedure. Several follow-up examinations were outside the prescribed time frames (examples include subjects [redacted] and the FDA investigator found no documented evidence that attempts were made to contact the subjects. Monitoring of subjects was to have been for six months post [redacted] with hand-held telemetry, and with 24-hour Holter monitoring at the end of six months. Monitoring was not performed on all subjects (for example, subjects [redacted] and [redacted] did not receive the Holter monitor, and subject [redacted] did not receive the hand-held telemetry device.
Failure to maintain accurate, complete, and current subject records. [21 CFR 812.140(a)(3)]
Several case report forms (CRFs) reviewed were lacking required information and a Number of discrepancies were noted between source documents and data recorded on the CRFs. Examples included, but were not limited to: 1) Case report form for subject [redacted] echocardiogram indicates that a percardial effusion was present, yet the echocardiogram report dated [redacted] source data) states that no percardial effusion was identified. The case report form for this subject?s post-procedure echocardiogram indicates that a pericardial effusion was present, but echocardiogram report dated [redacted] (source data) states that no percardial effusion was present. 2) For subject [redacted], the Symptomatic and Monthly Transtlephonic Transmissions page of the CRF does not include documentation of a [redacted] transmission by the subject. 3) Holter monitor results on [redacted] for subject [redacted] document that the subject went into ventricular tachycardia, but the six month follow-up examination portion of the CRF indicates no new arrhythmias.
Failure to maintain accurate, complete, and current device accountability records. [21 CFR 812.140(a)(2)]
The Device Accountability Log supplied by you during the inspection did not accurately reflect the number of investigational devices received from the sponsor, as well as their use or disposition. A participating investigator is required to maintain accurate, complete, and current records of the receipt and use or disposition of all investigational devices.
The deviations listed above are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of deficiencies that may exist in your clinical study. It is your responsibility as a clinical investigator to ensure that an investigation is conducted according to the signed agreement, the investigational plan, and applicable FDA regulations.
Your June 10 response addresses each of the FDA 483 items and states that steps have been implemented to prevent future occurrences, but in most cases, it does not specify what these steps are or how they will prevent future deviations. In general, your letter indicates a lack of understanding of the regulatory requirements that clinical investigators must meet and includes few corrective actions taken or planned, with regard to the deviations noted during the inspection. It is important for a clinical investigator to understand that unless the physical safety of a subject demands otherwise, treatment of study subjects must adhere to the requirements of the investigational plan.
Enclosed to assist you in better understanding responsibilities al a clinical investigator are copies of 21 CFR Parts 50, 54, 56 and 812. These documents also are available electronically, at www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr. Part 812 describes your responsibilities as a clinical investigator of an investigational medical device and Part 50 includes what is required to protect the welfare of study subjects. Part 54, Financial Disclosure by Clinical Investigators, includes information regarding your regulatory responsibilities with regard to any financial interest you might have in the outcome of studies in which you participate. Part 56, Institutional Review Boards, covers the responsibilities of IRBs and what an IRB expects from you as a clinical investigator, as well as their responsibilities to you.
Please inform us, within 15 working days of receipt of this letter, of the additional corrective actions you have taken or plan to take with regard to the deviations noted. Please send this information to the Food and Drug Administration, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Office of Compliance, Division of Bioresearch Monitoring, Program Enforcement Branch II (HFZ-312), 2098 Gaither Road, Rockville, Maryland 20850, Attention: Rachel Solomon. Failure to respond could result in regulatory action without further notice.
A copy of this letter has been sent to FDA?s New Orleans District Office, 6600 Plaza Drive, Suite 400, New Orleans, Louisiana 70127. We request that a copy of your response also be sent to that office.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Rachel Solomon at (301) 594-4723, ext. 123.
Sincerely yours,
Michael Marcarelli for Timothy A. Ulatowski

INXS, complete with the guy who won his way into the band on vocals, are touring this summer and playing Wellmont Theater on August 3 (on sale now) and Beacon Theatre on August 4 (Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 AM).
In related news, Journey's ongoing tour brings them to Jones Beach this summer and "Sublime With Rome" are touring with 311 and playing the same Long Island venue.
In happier news, Joey Belladonna will in fact be back fronting Anthrax when they take the Yankee Stadium stage in September.
What's the most unfortunate example of a band replacing their lead singer instead of just breaking up?
Tickets go on general sale at 10am for the Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax show happening at Yankee Stadium.
by BBG
They hit the west coast last weekend, and now "The Big 4" will make the journey east for their second show together in The Bx. Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth & Anthrax will play Yankee Stadium on September 14th. According to Metallica's site, "tickets go on sale Friday, May 6 at 10:00 AM via www.ticketmaster.com. Met Club members should log in for more information about a special pre-sale starting on Wednesday, May 4. Yankees season ticket holders will have their own pre-sale, also on May 4, starting at noon."
Hopefully by the time the NYC show rolls aroundm Slayer will have founding member Jeff Hanneman back in the fold, though he did made a brief appearance in Indio last weekend...
Slayer hit the stage and even the sun appeared slightly scared as it sank behind the mountains. They were the hardest and most relentless band of the day. Dave Lombardo's double bass drums were thunderous, not so much supporting but propelling the music as Kerry King delivered frequent guitar-shredding solos...They played a new song "America" (sp?) that fit right alongside the classics. As he has been since February, Gary Holt of Exodus sat in for guitarist Jeff Hanneman who is suffering from necrotizing fasciitis in his arm. To the crowd's great delight, Hanneman appeared and played during the last two songs of the set, "South of Heaven" and "Angel of Death". -[Seattle Post-Intelligencer]Check out a video of "Angel of Death", one of "Am I Evil" and a trailer for "The Big 4" show, below...

Coachella sold out in less than a week, but the festival that is going to occupy the same fairgrounds exactly one week later, goes on general sale Friday at 10am (presales happening now), and that is "The Big 4" which will bring together Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax ("together for the first and only time in the US") for one big Indio, California classic metal show on Saturday, April 23rd .
One week after that, Goldenvoice (also responsible for Coachella and The Big 4) will host its annual Stagecoach Festival at Empire Polo Field (same place). "California's Country Music Festival" is being headlined by people you probably don't care about, but will also include sets by names like Wanda Jackson, Loretta Lynn, the Punch Brothers, the Secret Sisters and Phosphorescent who is also playing Coachella. Tickets are on sale.
I unfortunately could not find a ticket link for Brochella. Full lineup (real poster) for Stagecoach, and a Big 4 video trailer, below...

Slayer, Megadeth & Anthrax played classic material w/ classic lineups @ Nassau Coliseum (pics & setlists)

"It has been a really long time since Long Island experienced a real heavy metal show. In fact, it is flat-out embarrassing and insulting to the fans and bands that it has been this long. Thanks to the demonic forces of the dark lord, Long Island was the place to be on Friday night when Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax invaded the Nassau Coliseum.Slayer and Megadeth brought their classic LPs back to the NYC area, just two months after their appearance at the Izod Center in NJ. Friday's Nassau Coliseum date (10/8) was identical in scope to the Izod one (Slayer playing Seasons In The Abyss, Megadeth on Rust In Peace detail) with the difference being that the now-Joey-Belladonna'd-Anthrax supported the pair (as opposed to NJ's support, Testament). In addition to classic material, Anthrax played "Fight 'Em 'Til You Can't", a new song performed for the first time with Joey, during their eight-song set. Video of that is below.
The "Big 3 of Thrash" performed on the Island together for the first time ever under the heading of the "American Carnage Tour" presented by Jagermeister. The artists, Dave Mustaine in particular, did not let fans forget that as he made at least 5 references to the sponsor during Megadeth's set."
Going into the show, one would think that Anthrax would be the weakest link. Let's face it, Anthrax is awesome but not of the same caliber as Slayer. The band must have had this in mind because Anthrax annihilated the Coliseum. Original frontman Joey Belladona could not have sounded any better. He was dead on. [Gears of Rock]
The meeting of the thrash titans is ongoing through the next two weeks. Check out more pictures from the Nassau Coliseum stop, with videos and setlists, below...

Slayer, live in Poland
Though tickets are still available for their date at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ, the second leg of the American Carnage tour (Slayer + Megadeth) has been announced. That leg includes Nassau Coliseum on Oct 8th, and though tickets go on regular sale on July 23rd, they are currently on Live Nation presale through Thursday at 8PM. The password is "venue". Testament wont open the Nassau Coliseum show like they will at the Izod Center in August, but Anthrax will!

"We want to apologize to our fans who came out to the Red Bull event last night in the hellish cold to see us play. Originally, we were to go on just before 9PM and play for 45-minutes. One of the snowboarding events ran very late which caused us to delay the start of our set. That, and a curfew we were not informed about until 9:30PM snowballed into an unfortunate situation that was beyond our control . As we were walking to the stage, we were instructed to cut our set to three songs, and no one was more surprised than us when they cut the PA before we could finish the third song. We are particularly mortified that this happened when our good friend, Chuck D, had just taken the stage for "Bring the Noise". We extend our apologies to him.
Nothing like this has ever happened to Anthrax before, and we regret that it happened last night. Thank you to those who came out to support and once again our sincere apologies"

Valient Thorr bundled up, a snowboarder & Chuck D w/ Anthrax
Over the last three weeks, a massive snowboard ramp has risen in East River Park, in the shadow of the Williamsburg Bridge. Nine stories tall and 150 yards long, it required more than 100 workers to build, and it has lured 16 of the world's top professional snowboarders to compete in Thursday's Red Bull Snowscrapers, billed as the largest urban snowboard event in North America.That NY Times article came out before yesterday's event (2/5). Musical guests included Valient Thorr (seen above bundled up after he/they played) (and who are performing again tonight/Friday in Brooklyn), Black Gold (who play/DJ again outside today/Friday at South Street Seaport), and "Anthrax" who were joined by Public Enemy's Chuck D (as seen above). Bring the Noise.
Riders, including the 2006 Olympic snowboarding gold medalist Shaun White, Travis Rice, and Terje Haakonsen, will zip down the ramp and soar 50 feet while performing aerial maneuvers before touching down on either side of a 36-foot-long ramp. A panel of judges will rate the best moves and style. The winner will get $50,000 of a $100,000 purse. [The NY Times]
Chris, who is no stranger to the Valient Thorr, got there too late to catch the opening band, but he did get lots of pretty pictures from the rest of the action, as you can see below...

Rated 4 out of 5 by michpatsy from Nice little nightstand We purchased this with the Jenny Lind bed for our 3 year old daughter as she transitioned to her big girl bed. The nightstand is sturdy and looks great with the bed. It has a nice, little drawer on the bottom. The top is big enough for a lamp and usually one of her bedtime books.

Nearly every great, small business has extraordinary people behind it. Tashina Roberson and her business partner, Brian Donnelly, are those extraordinary people behind Studio 841, a photography studio located in Downtown Lancaster, that specializes in food, portrait, and wedding photography.
Tashina and associate photographer, Whitney Huff, have a knack for capturing candid moments – those human moments like laughter, warm embraces, and silliness that sometimes escape the camera in the rush to capture a posed, smiling face. They go to great lengths to get the perfect shot in the studio, in the city, on location, or in one of the great parks in the area.
I experienced Tashina's passion for getting the perfect shot first hand as she took my two sons, wife, and I out to Rockford Plantation, a bucolic, historic Revolutionary-era 18th century home in the Lancaster County Central Park. With two young children (ages 5 and 1), we were just hoping to get them looking in the right direction and smiling at the same time. We got so much more.
Tashina was exceptionally patient through the entire session, mixing poses with moments for candid interactions. We posed as a family at some choice spots around the grounds. Then we just had fun, trying to get each other to smile, setting the boys free to play, and collapsing in laughter. I knew Tashina was capturing every special moment as she laid flat in the tall grass to get a photo of our boys rolling around. The entire time she remained composed and in control.
It's clear to me that Studio 841 can meet anyone's wishes for their photo session whether it's a 30-minute portrait shoot, an all-day wedding, corporate head shots, or your wildest dream.
Next time you're considering a photographer for an event or portraits, you'll know one that will meet your dreams with a passion.
Below are photos by Tashina and her team. To learn more about Studio 841 and to see more of their work, visit them at www.eightfourone.com.

There is a certain kind of tenderness that happens in gardens. Planting new Spring seedlings with fragile roots, seeing sunlight coming through Heavenly Blue morning glories, even spreading extra fine mulch under Love-in-a-Mist. Sure, there are those haul and hack and tug-until-it-gives moments in the garden that are anything but tender (except, perhaps, in the aftermath as we treat tender backs) and I know that next week when I tackle digging and dividing and replanting some daylilies into a new bed that is yet to be dug, there will be nothing tender about it at all. But there are also those moments when I am deadheading a new Gaillardia, a soft yellow called "Mesa Yellow", that I feel my hands being tender with the new little plant and hope that it is happy enough to be putting out good roots and will come back next year ready to get tall.
Something similar happened a few days ago at The Civic Garden Center library. I was there looking for a book on Fall gardening when two little girls and their grandparents came by, a first visit to CGC for all of them. Before long the girls discovered the kid's books shelves and all kinds of fun and tenderness happened. Abby and her sister, Keira, pulled one book after another off the shelves, bounced around sharing their enthusiasm for the pictures and the stories with their grandmother, who had plopped down on the floor next to them, and giggled with utter delight when they found a familiar book. The happy group spent the better part of an hour reading and giggling together and talking about plants and trees and growing things. At one point Abby sat on the floor next to her grandmother, putting her little arm around her back, and then she scampered over to her grandfather to have him read to her. Keira just kept pulling books off the shelf, giving them a quick read, and then going back for another one. Then the two little girls sprawled out with a giant book about rocks and soil, all while learning about gardens and growth and tender love.

For a male tree weta, size really is everything. In six of the seven species in New Zealand the males all sport a distinctly large head, and the bigger the head, the better the chance of mating.Massey University post-doctoral researcher Dr Cilla Wehi has been studying whether there is a downside to this evolutionary feature.But she found that, despite their size, males are at no greater risk of being spotted and attacked by predators than females."Having the big head is a plus in terms of getting and guarding females," she says. "The big head means a male has a larger mandible that helps win the battles with other males for control of females," she says. "But it also means that adult males are conspicuous, as they come out at night to feed and fight."The downside, according to theory, is that there should be some disadvantage, such as higher predation because adult males are out in the open being more active and visible. "So are they more likely to be snapped up by a morepork or a rat, for example?"Dr Wehi and her colleagues wanted to test this theory of sex-biased predation to see whether it was evident.Dr Wehi looked at the sex ratios in different populations to see if the numbers of adult males and females were the same. "If there were more females than males, then we would know that there is a cost to having that big head."They gathered data from all around the country covering 58 populations, and surprisingly found there wasn't a higher predation rate in males."So we've found something quite different from what theory predicts. It turns theory upside down."However, Dr Wehi says there must be some cost, otherwise the size of male weta heads would just keep getting bigger and bigger. More work is needed to identify what that cost is.Dr Wehi worked with colleagues in Massey's Ecology group, including Dr Mary Morgan-Richards and Dr Steve Trewick. The paper was published in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology.

Eric Reid may have announced his rookie contract signing his own way (Instagram), but the San Francisco 49ers officially announced the deal today. Reid signed a four-year deal worth approximately $8.4 million, that includes a $4.55 million signing bonus.
After the official announcement, the 49ers have now officially signed their entire 2013 draft class that promises to see more action than the 2012 draft class did.
The former LSU Tiger Reid was selected 18th overall in the NFL Draft after the Niners traded up with the Dallas Cowboys to secure his rights. Reid was the second safety taken in the draft behind New Orleans Saints first-round pick Kenny Vaccaro.
Reid played 39 games over three seasons with the LSU Tigers, he left for the NFL Draft after his junior season. Reid had an impressive career in those three years with 199 tackles, six interceptions, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 11 pass breakups and 4½ tackles for loss.
Reid's $8.4 million is the reason that the Niners went young and decided to not resign or franchise tag incumbent Dashon Goldson. Goldson signed a five-year, $41.25 million contract, that included a $22 million guaranteed. General Manager Trent Baalke believed that there were more important Niners to spend that kind of money on.
Reid will report to Training Camp with the rookies on July 19th.

Sidney Crosby played for 1 minute and 28 seconds last night before taking a wayward puck to the mouth and dropping to the ice.
The puck was shot by Sid's teammate, Brooks Orpik, who looked distressed after Sid left the ice. The shot was somehow deflected, and caught Crosby directly in the mouth. Sid immediately fell to the ice and blood could be seen dripping from his face. He was given a towel and immediately escorted off to the dressing room and initial reports were that he had lost some teeth and would require dental surgery.
He will still require dental surgery, but now word has also come out, via both the CBC and CTV, that Sid has a broken jaw and will be off the ice indefinitely.
This is a tough blow to the Pittsburgh Penguins and the number one scorer in the league. That was 1 minute and 28 seconds with Crosby's newest teammate on the bench. Jarome Iginla started his first game with the Penguins after a trade from the Flames that had all the drama of a soap opera. Iginla was traded to the Penguins at his request, as he tries to become a team member of the 2013 Stanley Cup Champions. Whether the Penguins will be able to continue their winning ways without Sid on the ice remains to be seen. At this point, they will continue to play the best they can, and hope Sid can return for the playoffs.

Theology Programs
MATh: Detailed Program Description
Students currently enrolled in the MATh must consult the DSPT Student Handbook for program details.
Coursework - One course is required in each of the following areas: biblical studies, systematic theology, moral theology, historical theology, and the theology or history of a non-Christian religious tradition. A total of four courses must be taken in the chosen area of concentration (see "Electives" below). At least one-third of the total coursework must be taken at DSPT, and students are encouraged to take up to one-third of the coursework from outside DSPT. At least one-half of the coursework must be from offerings above the introductory (1000) level. At least two courses must be at the 4000 level or above. Details for coursework requirements are described in the Course Requirements Checklist .
Written Samples for the Assessment Portfolio. The assessment portfolio requires each student to submit two research papers during the course of the academic program: 1) Research Readiness Paper (submitted at the end of the first semester); and 2) the MA thesis. These papers must be written according to the standards prescribed in the most recent edition of A Manual for the Writers of Term Papers, Theses and Dissertations, by Kate Turabian.
Research Readiness Paper Review (RRP). The RRP review helps students, advisors, and Department Faculty assess and refine student research skills. As such, the RPR is a prerequisite for submitting a thesis proposal and must be completed by the end of the first semester in the program. There are several parts to this review:
The RRP review helps students, advisors, and Department Faculty assess and refine student research skills. As such, the RPR is a prerequisite for submitting a thesis proposal and must be completed by the end of the first semester in the program. There are several parts to this review:
Foreign Language Certification. Students in the DSPT MA (Theology), the DSPT MA (Philosophy) Thesis Option, or the GTU Common MA program must demonstrate reading proficiency and comprehension skills in a foreign language. Students in the concurrent DSPT MA program with a concentration in Thomistic Studies must demonstrate reading and comprehension proficiency in Latin. There is no language requirement for any of the other DSPT degree programs.
Students are expected to fulfill the language requirement by the beginning of the third semester in the program. GTU Common MA students should note that they must fulfill this requirement before they can form a thesis committee.
DSPT follows the policy of GTU for fulfillment of the foreign language requirement. For details, students should consult the most current version of the MA Program Handbook, found at the webpage for the Consortial Registrar's Office . In general, language certification may be obtained by any of the following means:
Students enrolled in a DSPT MA program who wish certification in a language not approved by the GTU, must submit a written petition to the Academic Dean. The mode of certification is as for other languages.
Foreign students whose native language is not English may fulfill the language requirement by passing the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) examination.
Using Foreign Languages Courses for Credit. As a general policy, foreign language courses taken to fulfill the language requirement, including courses taken to prepare a student for the GTU language exam, cannot be counted as electives toward fulfillment of course requirements of a degree program. However, certain advanced-level language courses designed to equip MA students for future research may be counted as electives in some circumstances. Students must submit a written petition to the Academic Dean for approval of such coursework as graduate electives. Other types of language courses that can be counted as electives toward a degree program are specialized languages (Hindi, Japanese, Modern Hebrew, Aramaic, etc.) and classical languages (Greek, Hebrew, Latin).
Thesis Proposal. The thesis proposal gives students an opportunity to show an ability to organize a project of philosophical inquiry into a brief, coherent proposal. It must be submitted no later than the third semester in the program.
Before writing the proposal, students should review and carefully follow the guidelines described in the Navigating through the MA Thesis Information . A detailed description of the proposal format is found in the Thesis Proposal Guidelines , which should be carefully followed. There are also samples of "successful" thesis proposals available for review in the Registrar's Office.
In addition to the proposal, students must also submit a signed Thesis Proposal Petition , which suggests membership of the thesis committee. Faculty consent to serve on a committee, as indicated by their signatures on the Thesis Proposal Petition , indicates that they have read the proposal and feel it is ready for departmental review. For this reason, faculty must be given sufficient time to review the proposal and offer feedback.
Students submit the proposal and signed Thesis Proposal Petition to the Theology Department chair one week before the meeting at which it is to be discussed. The thesis topic as well as faculty composition of the thesis committee require approval of the Theology Department according to the Thesis Proposal Guidelines . The results of faculty review are communicated to each student by the department chair. Faculty may also suggest improvements or revisions which are communicated to each student by the thesis coordinator. The thesis committee coordinator cannot be changed without the permission of the department faculty. Once approved, the thesis coordinator becomes the student advisor.
Students whose native language is other than English may write their thesis in that language provided that:
Students wishing to take advantage of this policy must indicate this fact in their proposal in the description of their suggestions for the faculty director and committee members.
No proposals will be considered until the student has successfully completed the RRP.
Thesis and Oral Defense. Promotion to the degree of Master of Arts (Theology) requires the successful completion of a written thesis of about eighty pages in length, and an oral defense of the thesis. Students are provided six semester units of "In Thesis" time to conduct academic research and writing. They use the thesis to demonstrate a capacity for scholarly philosophical research by using appropriate primary and secondary source materials, along with relevant current discussions, and for presenting findings in a clear and convincing manner.
The criteria for evaluation of both thesis and oral defense are listed in the MA – Thesis Review Form , and the MA Thesis Defense Form . Students must schedule the defense through the DSPT Registrar's Office. The registrar verifies that defending students have an approved Statement of Intent to Graduate on file and are in good standing with the Business Office and the GTU Library.The MA Thesis Review and MA Defense forms should be given to the thesis committee coordinator at the beginning of the defense. The two forms must then be submitted by the coordinator to the DSPT registrar within 48 hours of the defense.
The oral defense provides an opportunity to demonstrate not only acquired knowledge and insight, but also oral communication skills. The written thesis must be successfully defended by an oral exam conducted by the coordinator and the assigned readers. Normally, the defense shall not exceed one and one half hours in length. Each thesis is to be defended, passed and filed by the posted GTU deadline of the intended year of graduation (see GTU academic calendar for the specific date). Students are responsible to see that a copy of the thesis to be defended is in the Readers/Coordinators' hands at least three weeks before the scheduled defense. Members of a committee are not obliged to meet during breaks in the academic calendar.
In cases of disagreement between the members of the committee as to whether or not the requirements for the thesis have been satisfactorily fulfilled, the department chair shall have the deciding vote. If the department chair is a member of the committee, the Academic Dean shall have the deciding vote (if both the department chair and Academic Dean are on the committee, the President shall appoint a third faculty member to cast the deciding vote).
DSPT Thesis Title Page. Students in a DSPT MA program follow all of the formatting guidelines described for the GTU Common MA EXCEPT that the title page should read as follows: "A thesis by [Name] presented to The Faculty of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology at the Graduate Theological Union in partial fulfillment . .
Thesis Format Approval Form. Once all final corrections have been made, the thesis undergoes one final review by the GTU Library Reference Department to ensure that it meets archival standards. Information about library approval for the MA thesis may be found on the GTU Library's website. Three copies suitable for binding (two for the GTU Library and one for DSPT) are to be submitted to the Registrar, along with the signed Library Approval of Thesis Format Form , no later than the thesis filing deadline of the semester in which the student plans to graduate.

Irvine calls for calendar re-vamp

Tour manager Andy Irvine welcomes the appointment of coach Warren Gatland earlier this week © Getty Images
British & Irish Lions boss Andy Irvine has called for a re-vamp of the international rugby calendar to ensure that future tours are not subjected to the constraints that his side must live with next year.
Irvine, the former Lions fullback who will serve as tour manager for the eagerly-anticipated 10-game tour of Hong Kong and Australia next summer, has questioned an enforced schedule that will see any players involved in the finale to the domestic season not link up with the squad until the day of departure.
In addition, any Lions hopefuls playing in France face missing out altogether with the Top 14 final set to be played the same day as the Lions opening tour clash against the Barbarians. Gatland hopes to have a preliminary squad gathering before the Aviva Premiership and RaboDirect PRO12 reach a climax but Irvine admitted it was far from ideal.
"The fixture calendar is far too congested," Irvine said. "Something will have to be done. We have one more Lions tour after next year under the current agreement and, when we renew it, we have to make sure that the Lions have proper preparation time. That means the four home unions sitting down with SANZAR, the clubs and the International Rugby Board to make sure that we get it right.
"The Lions are hugely popular, as the tens of thousands who follow every tour prove. It is to the benefit of everyone in the game that this unique institution continues because of the interest it generates but that means giving the coaches and players the preparation time they need. One solution would be putting the start of the tour back to the middle of June but, with the Rugby Championship having been expanded to include Argentina, we would need to see how that fitted in with the southern hemisphere schedule."
Irvine's sentiments were echoed by Lions chairman Gerald Davies who commented: "The Lions is a remarkable sporting phenomenon," said Davies. "I am very disappointed that the domestic fixture schedule could not be changed but I am not going to complain. Whingeing is the first step to losing and all we are thinking about is winning the series."

The Detroit Lions linebackers of last season were unspectacularly consistent. Justin Durant, Stephen Tulloch and DeAndre Levy combined for 297 tackles and were the top three team leaders in that category last season. Durant is now a Dallas Cowboy, which leaves one starting spot available and will be one of the most watched battles during camp and the preseason.
Who's on the roster: Alex Elkins, Chris Greenwood, Brandon Hepburn, DeAndre Levy, Travis Lewis, Carmen Messina, Jon Morgan, Ashlee Palmer, Stephen Tulloch, Tahir Whitehead
Stephen Tulloch signed a five year deal to remain with the Lions prior to last season. Tulloch is the leader of the linebacking corps and will be looked upon to provide leadership to whoever fills the void left by Durant. Tulloch will play consistent football and has been durable over his career. Expect him to start sixteen games this season.
Levy enters his fifth year out of the University of Wisconsin. He has made double digit starts in each of his first four seasons and is expected, barring injury, to start in Detroit as the weak-side linebacker this season after starting 13 games there a year ago.
Strong-side linebacker features three potential candidates in Lewis, Palmer and Whitehead. Now is probably the time to admit to being a huge Whitehead fan. I've loved his game since I watched his tape from his time at Temple after the Lions drafted him in 2012. I love his athleticism and I believe he's a gamer if given the chance, and I hope Detroit gives him that chance as the starter in week one.
Palmer and Lewis are by no means poor candidates for the job. Lewis is a jack-of-all-trades type player. He doesn't excel in any one area, nor does he possess elite athleticism or upside. Lewis is, simply put, a football player. He'll do his job, and he'll do it consistently.
Palmer has made a living during his first five seasons playing on special teams, and 2013 offers his first real chance at a starting spot since being drafted out of Mississippi. Palmer has just 9 career starts to his resume, but that is exactly nine more starts than Whitehead and Lewis have combined. Palmer's best chance at winning the starting job this season lies in his experience.
While Palmer is likely the best candidate to fill the position this season, the future of this position belong to Tahir Whitehead. As much as it pains me to say, Palmer will start for Detroit week one.
Look for the two "losers" of the strong-side position to stick on the roster as very capable backups as well as special teams players. Messina became the preseason darling of many last season and could be a favorite for that sixth linebacker spot on the roster. Hepburn was drafted in the seventh round and could be a developmental player, while Greenwood, Morgan, and Elkins have an uphill battle toward making the roster.
