This core idea of memory is very difficult to fully comprehend; however, it is essential.
Sometimes the most powerful countermove one can make when a person is screaming is to calmly say that her behavior is not helpful and then continue interacting with the rest of the family while ignoring the enraged person.
"Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples shall divide within you."
Divorce from a vindictive, cruel spouse can be a lifelong nightmare when there are offspring.
There were many French Jews who jumped at the chance to shed their ancient identity and assimilate.
As Rabbi Shemtov stood on the stage and looked out at the attendees, he told them that "Rather than take photos with your cellphones, take a mental photo and keep this Shabbat in your mind and take it with you throughout your life."
Yeshiva v'Kollel Bais Moshe Chaim will be holding a grand celebration on the occasion of the institution's 40th anniversary on Sunday evening, December 7. Alumni, students, friends and faculty of the yeshiva, also known as Talmudic University of Florida, will celebrate the achievement and vision of its founders and the spiritual guidance of its educational […]
The yeshiva night accommodates all levels of Jewish education.
Recently, Fort Lauderdale has been the focus of international news, and it has not been about the wonderful weather.
Rabbi Sacks held the position of chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth for 22 years until September 2013.
The event included a dvar Torah by student Pesach Bixon, an overview of courses, information about student life and a student panel that answered frequently asked questions from a student perspective.
It is difficult to write about such a holy person, for I fear I will not accurately portray his greatness…
"Grandpa," I wondered, as the swing began to slow down, "why are there numbers on your arm?"
So the real question is, "How can we, as hosts, make sure our guest beds are comfortable?" Because your guests will never say anything.
With our focus now turned to the upcoming Pesach holiday, I wanted to share with you some lighter and healthier meal ideas. We have some baked, not fried eggplant, low-carb "rice" created in a unique way, a nice salad and a refreshingly light dessert. I hope this will enhance your Pesach and bring you many nice compliments.
One year we went out for a meal and instead of bringing along the usual chocolates or wine, I offered the hostess an array of colorful salads. After seeing how muchthey were enjoyed, I thought it would be nice to recreate them. All these salads can be made a day in advance and refrigerated until serving time, making them ideal for a hectic, busy Yom Tov time of year. Besides, it's always nice to have something different and delicious to serve when extra guests and family come over…
The focus of a wedding and its source of simcha changes as one ages.
Lots of people think that if you can't use rice like the Sephardim do on Pesach, nor matza meal like many Ashkenazim do on Pesach, then there's "nothing left to eat!" This article is being written to dispel all these gloomy forecasts. Baruch Hashem, there is so much you can do if you just turn your creative juices up. Clip this out and save it – it's also great for those who need to eat gluten-free. Let's focus now on some delicious dishes that present really beautifully, and then on some easy and refreshing desserts.
Even those people who do not normally make challah all year long usually do find that they want homemade challahs for Rosh Hashana. Round challahs are most traditionally used for this time of year, as a reminder of the cycle of life.

I've been reading through Augustine's anti-Pelagian writings in which he spends a whole lot of time arguing emphatically why unbaptized infants deserve to go to hell because of Adam's sin. It seems like the damnation of babies was a huge sticking point for Pelagius and his followers and part of why they were inclined to say that the doctrine of original sin was ridiculous. The core of Augustine's argument against Pelagius rests upon a literal interpretation of John's two verses describing the … [Read more...]

My first Pentecostal sermon: truth, wisdom, & knowledge in Samaria
Earlier this year, during Lent, I preached without a manuscript for the first time. My preparation process shifted to oral rehearsal after a lot of note-scribbling. This past weekend, after having a very rich but exhausting spirit-filled week, I preached for the first time without rehearsing in advance. I don't want to say I didn't prepare, because God gave me a lot of things to think and talk about that came out in my sermon, but the delivery was extemporaneous.

The real battle: demons vs. sacraments
What does the battle between good and evil look like? Who or what evil entities are we supposed to fight against? When I was a young social justice activist, the Bible verse I pulled out for an answer to this question was Ephesians 6:12, where Paul writes, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers." Instead of seeing the battle of good and evil in terms of concrete, identifiable adversaries on a battlefield, I figured our battle as Christians was against "the s … [Read more...]

3D computational model of graphene reinforced polymer composites is developed and applied to the analysis of damage and fracture mechanisms in the composites. The graphene/polymer interface properties are determined using the inverse modeling approach. The effect of composite structure, in particular, of the aspect ratio, shape, clustering, orientation and volume fraction of graphene platelets on themechanical behavior and damage mechanisms of nanocomposites are studied in computational experiments.
We've recently published an open access journal paper that looks at the mechanics of sutures used to repair severed tendons. A homogenization strategy is used to derive effective elastic properties for tendon fibrils and intracellular matrix. We have found that regions of high stress correlate with the regions of cell death (necrosis) that are sometimes observed in patients.
If this is of interest, please feel free to view the paper here.

Complex structures consisting of intertwined, nominally vertical carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are called turfs. Under uniform compression experiments, CNT turfs exhibit irreversible collective buckling of a layer preceded by reorientation of CNT segments. Experimentally observed independence of the buckling stress and the buckling wavelength on the turf width suggests the existence of an intrinsic material length.

You'd think a doctor with her own private practice or a small business owner with a six-figure income would have no problem getting a mortgage loan. But think again. Increasingly, self-employed professionals — some of the smartest and most successful people in the U.S. — are being turned down on their mortgage loans.
While there are no hard numbers on how many self-employed professionals are being denied mortgage loans, The Wall Street Journal says that changes in the ways that lenders handle mortgage loans — specifically underwriting criteria — have resulted in an increase in the number of self-employeds being rejected for home loans.
The Journal lists "doctors, lawyers, accountants and small business owners" among the new group of self-employed borrowers who find it increasingly difficult to get a mortgage loan.
The Journal cites the case of Hubert Noguera, a 38-year-old small business owner in Saratoga, Calif. Noguera "can't get approved for a loan, even though he has a strong 800 credit score and is prepared to make a 40% down payment on a house near San Francisco in the $800,000-to-$900,000 range." Noguera told The Journal he "has assets worth three times the $500,000 loan he's requesting and is in the process of selling his share of a recently inherited residence in Saratoga, Calif., worth $1.1 million."

Apple TV software refresh Sept. 18 to add new features
Although not addressed during yesterday's media event, the Apple TV is scheduled for a software update on Sept. 18, AllThingsD reports. One new feature in the update will let users stream their purchased iTunes content to another user's Apple TV using AirPlay. The content will stream directly from the cloud to an Apple TV — it will no longer be necessary to download the content to an iOS device to send to the TV. It's also likely that the update will contain iTunes Radio, Apple's new music exploration service. The software update will be released the same day as iOS 7.

Small Project Saturday: Colorblock Dining Room
Glidden® paint
When Megan and her family bought their new home, the whole house was painted lime green. They quickly painted everything white, so they would have a blank slate. But now that they've moved in and are making it their own, it's time to add color to enliven and warm up the space. Like many families, they spend most of their time around the dining table. Painting the whole wall would have been a big undertaking, and might have overwhelmed the space. See how Megan painted just part of the wall with a simple stripe of bold color.
Five Small Decor Changes with Huge Results
Sometimes a final squeeze of lemon juice or sprinkle of salt is what makes a dish really sing, and the same principle goes for decorating: the perfect pop — of color, pattern, light, or texture — can make all the difference.

All it took was one Saturday afternoon and a can of Glidden paint for Megan to transform the space with color in an unexpected place.

JACINTO CITY – by KHOU 11 News and www.khou.com
The 17-year-old accused of shooting two Jacinto City police officers, a male and a female, was taken into custody early Thursday morning following a shootout.
Officers spent hours trying to talk Edgar Cuellar into coming out of his home, but they eventually resorted to using special equipment to bust into a home he was holed up in.
"We can see you. We know that you are in the bathroom," a negotiator said over the loud speaker. "It can only get worse from here, so you must comply now."
Cuellar still refused to go down without a fight and when the SWAT team moved in, he began shooting. They returned fire, shooting the teen twice in his legs.
"Our SWAT officers were even talking to him and telling him 'Hey, we know that you are injured and we can get some paramedics to you' and at that time, he finally started communicating that he had been hit," said John Cannon, HPD spokesperson. "That's the first time throughout the entire ordeal that we had even heard him say or do anything."
Cuellar was taken to the hospital and was expected to survive.
The original incident happened Wednesday afternoon in the 10400 block of Oswego in east Harris County.
Jacinto City Police Chief Joe Ayala says the officers were responding to a disturbance call for a report of an attempted suicide. Family members were supposed to be holding down a relative until police arrived, but the person got free and allegedly shot both officers.
Lieutenant Dennis Walker was shot point-blank in the chest and rushed by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center. Lt. Walker is a 12-year veteran of the force and has sons in law enforcement. One son works for the DEA and the other is an officer in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The female officer, Sergeant Jennifer Castaneda, was taken to Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital with a gunshot wound to the arm. Her husband works for the Harris County Sheriff's Department.
Both officers were expected to make a full recovery.
"They are both exceptional officers. They work very hard and it is just unfortunate of what happened, but they are stable and I look forward to seeing them come back to work soon," Chief Ayala said.
Chief Ayala says Wednesday's incident may be connected to another incident a few days ago when Cuellar was walking around the neighborhood firing off a weapon.
Houston Police Department officers and K-9 units assisted in the search. HPD's SWAT team was also called to the scene.
Residents in the neighborhood were told to stay inside their homes and lock the doors until the suspect was caught. Cuellar was believed to be armed and dangerous.

Incognito is suspended, Martin on non-football illness list Aaron Wilson
Suspended offensive guard Richie Incognito and offensive tackle Jonathan Martin, who's on the reserve-non-football illness list after alleging that Incognito bullied him, won't play for the Miami Dolphins again, according to the Miami Herald.
Follow-up interviews were canceled and the report from NFL investigator Ted Wells might not be released until after the Super Bowl, per the report.
Incognito is expected to be paid for the remainder of the season while remaining suspended and then be allowed to play next season, for another team. He's an unrestricted free agent.
Martin won't be activated from the non-football illness list and won't play again for Miami. He'll be traded during the offseason.

Colorado Chancellor DiStefano Wants To Run Athletics Department More Like A Business
Published May 30, 2013
RECIPE FOR SUCCESS? The Boulder DAILY CAMERA's Ringo writes D-I athletic departments are "multi-million dollar businesses and trying to run them with any other mindset is a recipe for failure." It was "odd to hear from DiStefano because the bureaucracy he oversees has been getting in the way of the athletic department for years in tandem with the president's office in Denver." Ringo: "I'm not buying that is suddenly going to change just because the chancellor seems to be open to the idea of hiring a successful businessman or woman to lead the department in the future." It also was "odd Wednesday listening to the chancellor talk about the big business of college athletics when he was part of the CU administration that fought against that exact perception of college athletics during the recruiting scandal surrounding the CU football program back in 2004 and 2005." Ringo: "We'll find out in the very near future how serious DiStefano is about changing the approach to one that is more business-oriented. How do we know that? Because a big business wouldn't dillydally once it started the ball rolling in this direction" (Boulder DAILY CAMERA, 5/30).
