Comets, the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud
Comets originally form as balls of ice and rock in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud
Kuiper Belt & Oort Cloud Facts
- Objects orbiting in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are mainly composed of rock, ice, ammonia and methane.
- When objects from the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud enter the inner solar system they become comets due to interactions with the sun.
- There are thought to be at least 70,000 objects in the Kuiper Belt with a diameter over 62 miles (100 km).
- The dwarf planets Pluto, Eris, MakeMake and Haumea all orbit in the Kuiper Belt.
- The Kuiper Belt is named after the Dutch astronomer Gerard Kuiper.
- There are possibly 2 trillion icy bodies in the Oort Cloud.
- The Oort Cloud extends so far it almost reaches a quarter way to the nearest star Proxima Centauri.
- Objects found in the Oort Cloud are believed to be remnants from the early formation of the solar system that were thrown far into space by the gravity of the giant planets.
- The Oort Cloud is named after another Dutch astronomer Jan
Hendrik Oort.
The Oort Cloud is composed of icy objects which surrounds the solar system
The Kuiper BeltThe Kuiper Belt is located at around 2.8 billion miles (4.5 billion km) from the sun and extends several billion miles. It is similar to the asteroid belt except it is around 20 times larger, and instead of being primarily composed of rocks objects found here also contain methane, ammonia and ice.
The Oort CloudThe Oort Cloud begins at 750 billion km from the sun and ends at the very edge of our solar system, almost 1 light year from the sun. It is a massive spherical cloud containing billions of icy bodies. Occasionally these bodies get knocked out of their orbit and enter the inner solar system, they then become comets. Although some comets originate from the Kuiper Belt most come from the Oort Cloud.
Comet Bombardment of Early Earth
Comet MissionsThere has already been several stunningly successful missions to study comets, Giotto in 1986 studied Halley's Comet and then went on to make a close pass of Grigg-Skjellerup in 1992. Stardust captured comet dust from Comet Wild 2 in 2004 and returned those samples safely to Earth. It then went on to make a flyby of comet Tempel 1. In 2005 an even more ambitious mission was launched. Deep Impact was equipped with a probe that would be sent on a collision course with Comet Tempel 1. The probe successfully crashed into the comet in July of that year.

Missions to the Kuiper Belt
New HorizonsLaunch: January 2006
Arrival: July 2015
Agency: NASA
Summary: After its visit to Pluto NASA is hoping to extend the New Horizons mission to investigate one or maybe two other Kuiper Belt Objects. Mission controllers will search for objects near the craft's flight path that have diameters between 50 to 100 kilometers for a possible flyby.

Danny Amendola WR - (STL)
DEN will need to simply out match any offer that STL throws at Amendola, but DEN also has the SB factor working for them, and with Manning making a couple well timed phone calls, Manning to Amendola is not that far fetched.
As a matter of fact, the enticment of catching balls from Manning and going to Super Bowls is enough alone to get Amendola into a Bronco's uni. But yeah, it's gonna cost DEN some coin. Who cares!?!? Manning has his slot reciever extraordinaire and DEN's offense with a rookie RB ( See Draft) is a juggernaut that no other team can stop.
Alternate- Josh Cribbs (CLE) WR
Brandon Moore OG- (NYJ)
I know what your thinking. The Jets suck. Yeah, they do, and after watching Sanchez run straight into Moore's ass, that basically sums up their season. However, Moore has been a consistent standout on the offensive line at RG
for years, and is still playing really well in his 10th season.
DEN needs some quality depth on its line, and they need it now. With Manning running the show, DEN just cannot afford to have injury issues mid-season, and having Moore start at RG is a huge upgrade, and gives DEN much needed depth. Moore is also a leader and a veteran. Plus hes versatile. Moore can play multiple positions along the O-line, making him worth every penny. I would love to sign Andy Levitre (BUF) and move him to RG, but i dont think BUF lets him walk, and he will command monster $$$$ on the open FA market. Just too expensive. Moore is looking after 10 years to win a SB, and after the mess the Jets have become , i have no doubt that Manning
could entice him to come and play for a mid-sized contract, and finish out his career as a Bronco.
Alternate- Andre Smith (CIN) - OT
Sammie Lee Hill DT - (DET)
As fast and disruptive as DEN's interior defensive line is, they still need a big body to stop the run on 1st and 2nd down, and create more 3 and outs for opposing offense's. Hill is a talented run stuffer at the point of attack, and for as much hype as the rest of the Lions D-line players get, Hill is a stand-out in his own right. Tendered at a 4th rounder last year, i thought DEN should have jumped on him, however now hes completely free of any contract squabbles, and DET will be hard pressed to re-sign another D-line player with all the $$$ they already have thrown at that position. Hill brings bulk,
and size to the D-line, but also allows JDR to use multiple fronts and formations with other D-line players. Like Moore, Hill will be looking for a mid-sized contract with a winner, so he wont break the bank either.
Alternate - Sedrick Ellis (NO)
Louis Nix III*, DT, Notre Dame
Height: 6-5. Weight: 326.
Projected 40 Time: 5.55.
Projected Round (2013): 1.
Nix has been an animal for Notre Dame this season. He has been a disruptive force who blasts through the line. Nix has caused a lot of havoc on run plays for his teammates to clean up. He has totaled 35 tackles, 4.5 tackles for a loss, two sacks, three passes broken up and one forced fumble this year.
The numbers don't illustrate how good Nix has been for the Irish. He looks like a first-round talent for the 2013 NFL Draft, but could crack the top half of the first round if he returns for 2014 and plays well. However, all signs point to Nix coming out this year, and making an immediate impact in the NFL.
Andrew Jackson*, ILB, Western Kentucky
Height: 6-1. Weight: 265.
Projected 40 Time: 4.72.
Projected Round (2012): 2-3.
Jackson has totaled 97 tackles, 13.5 tackles for a loss, two sacks and four forced fumbles this season. He held his own against Alabama with seven tackles and 1.5 tackles for a loss. Jackson had a huge game against Florida Atlantic with 19 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, a pass batted and a forced fumble. The Lakeland, Fla. product Jackson grew up in Ray Lewis' hometown and has patterned his game after the future Hall of Famer. Jackson had 109 tackles with 17 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble in 2011. The sophomore played well against the better competition with 12 tackles and a sack against Kentucky and eight tackles and a sack against LSU. Jackson is a thumper of a linebacker. He has good instincts and some quickness. Jackson is extremely physical and has real presence on the field with a big-time demeanor.
DEN needs a MLB in a bad way, and from all accounts, Jackson is a beast at the point of attack, and can become a 3-down player with just a bit of work.
Skov is just not the player he once was after the knee injury, and i think Minter will be gone by the late 2nd, being that he is also projected as a OLB too, so taking a guy who has all the physical potential in the world and putting him with Fox and Del Rio makes his chances of becoming a monster in the middle really good. Jackson has more upside as a potential superstar in the NFL than just about any other player in this draft.
Stepfan Taylor, RB, Stanford
Height: 5-11. Weight: 208.
Projected 40 Time: 4.58.
Projected Round (2013): 3-4.
Taylor has been playing very well as a senior and has been the workhorse for the Cardinal's offense. He carried Stanford to an upset win over USC with over 200 combined yards and two touchdowns. Taylor is averaging 4.6 yards per carry with 904 yards and six touchdowns this season. He has totaled 22 receptions for 113 yards with a score through the air. The senior is showing three-down ability with his blocking and receiving. Nationally, Taylor is a sleeper prospect who could be a draft-day steal.
DEN obviously needs an heir apparent at RB. Hillman could turn out to be a very solid player, but being that he's the youngest player in the NFL, he will simply need more time to develop. Taylor is perfect for the DEN system. Able to catch out of the backfield, he can also carry the rock for the duration of a game, and most importantly, he gets stronger as the game goes into the 4th quarter, and can really wear on a defense. Very good between the tackles runner, but he can also take it outside for big gains. Durable, and very solid as a 3rd-down blocker, Taylor is a perfect weapon to deploy in a Manning led offense.
Jonotthan Harrison*, C, Florida
Height: 6-3. Weight: 295.
Projected 40 Time: 5.08.
Projected Round (2013): 4-5.
Harrison has been playing well for Florida this year and doing a good job of blocking for Gillislee. Harrison played well against LSU but struggled against Georgia. Harrison broke into the lineup in 2011, recording starts at center and guard. The junior looks much improved so far this year. Harrison has been a good run-blocker for Mike Gillislee and has done a good job in pass protection. The improvements will be tested when Florida takes on Georgia and LSU this season.
DEN needs another Center to Compete with Walton, and possibly take over for Koppen, who really has saved DEN this year. However, Koppen's continued success next year is in question, and a replacement and quality depth at the very least is much needed. Harrison could stand to put on some weight but he already is a good run blocker, and with Manning teaching him along the way, Harrison could really develop into a good center.
Phillip Thomas, S, Fresno State
Height: 6-1. Weight: 215.
Projected 40 Time: 4.60.
Projected Round (2013): 5.
Thomas leads the nation with seven interceptions. He had three picks against Colorado, returning two of them for touchdowns. Thomas also has recorded 61 tackles, four passes broken up and three forced fumbles. He has really put himself on the map with his big plays and is making up for lost time. Thomas took a medical redshirt last year and missed the entire season after breaking a leg and dislocating an ankle three days before the first game. He had 64 tackles and three interceptions in 2010.
DEN needs depth and ballhawks in the deep secondary, and Thomas could really push Moore and Adams. I hate to say it, but i think Carter will be released. Bruton will be re-signed as a ST's ace. Relax, cause Thomas looks just like Carter, so its all good!
Traded to PHIL for DT Brodrick Bunkley
Curtis McNeal, RB, USC
Height: 5-7. Weight: 190.
Projected 40 Time: 4.53.
Projected Round (2013): 6-7.
McNeal has totaled 299 yards on 47 carries in 2012 as the backup to Silas Redd. McNeal is an interesting back given that he took over the starting position from senior Marc Tyler in 2011 and really played well. McNeal averaged just under seven yards per carry (6.9) with 1,005 yards on only 145 carries. He ran for six touchdowns.
Becoming obvious to the fans that DEN can never have enough RBs to create depth and competition, and McNeil, although being a bit undersized, is a really solid back, and could possibly even become a weapon on kick-offs and punt returns.
Nice effort! I love the Andrew Jackson pick! I mentioned his name on here as someone I am watching closely. I'm still concerned about his ability in space.. But he could be subbed out for Trevathan in Nickel packages.
A man after my own heart! I see you're a fan of Stepfan as well. The good thing about him is that he's an all around back. He's a north/south bowling ball of a runner and just a flat-out excellent pass blocker. Plus, like you said, he's got great hands. He's almost a custom-made Fox/Manning type RB. I prefer Skov at MLB. Even with the DUI, he's just such a leader in the lockerroom and on the field. The guy plays with total intensity at all times. He calls the Ds. He's the team leader. If he doesn't go back for another year after his knee rehabs, I hope he's the pick. It will be very interesting to see who's still on the board when the Broncos pick at 32. ;D
Some Free Agents I really like, which are realistic options and will allow us to take BPA:
MLB: Larry Grant or Bart Scott (Expecting His Release)
NT: Terrance Knighton
WR: Austin Collie
He has set the bar high for himself and DEN just has to get a true MLB to run this damn defense.
Hes a plug and play player day 1 and he will net DEN huge results right away.
Skov has big time downsides now. He really has lost all explosion, and will really have to prove himself all over again at the combine. We will see.....
Not too shabby.
1. Amendola would be great, St. Louis won't let him get away though.
2. Moore isn't an upgrade on Kuper at RG, and I doubt he signs to be a backup.
3. Hill makes a ton of sense as would Knighton.
4. Nix would be great, but there's a good chance if he came out this year, he'd go in the Top 20, possibly to Tennessee or New Orleans.
5. Jackson is very intriguing, but he's likely a 34 ILB only. It'll be very interesting to see his athleticism in offseason workouts. We require our MIKE to drop into coverage fairly often.
6. Taylor makes a lot of sense for us, but we'd be lucky if he fell to the late 3rd. I see him and Montee Ball as Mid-Late 2nd round guys. Alot depends on his 40 of course. Moreno's ascension as of late complicates the RB picture as well.
7. Not sure about another OC. We're only going to carry two, and unless we've given up on either Walton or Blake, I don't see us going this route. Now, a big OG to replace Ramirez as depth, sure.
8. Phillip Thomas would be great, but I will be shocked if he gets out of the 2nd round. Maybe one of the Georgia safeties at this point.
9. Fine with any 7th round selection.
Good, well thought out Nov. mock to be sure. ^5
I am suprised you think Thomas will be taken that high!
I think Nix comes out, so i have him. Again, its early.
I really think Jackson with Fox and JDR can play 4-3 MLB.
I also really believe that Amendola would walk if DEN can match his offer.
Oh, and a well timed phone call from Peyton, Elway and Fox wont hurt either!!!
As for O-linemen, this team needs em. Its becoming glaringly obvious.
Some depth just cant hurt at all.
Love your first and third round picks. Maybe you or BmoreManning can provide any updates of Andrew Jackson. Not familiar with him.

Bellevue's first female police chief to retire April 15
After a year of turmoil at the Bellevue Police Department, Bellevue's first female police chief, Linda Pillo, will retire April 15.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Seattle won't be the only city shopping for a new police chief this year: Bellevue's city manager announced Thursday that on April 15 Bellevue Police Chief Linda Pillo will retire, 35 years after she entered public service.
Pillo is ending her 28 years at the Bellevue Police Department with plans to enjoy some sunshine in Palm Springs.
"I've been planning this for a while," Pillo, 58, said Thursday. "I want to retire young enough that I can travel and take some time when I'm not on-call 24/7, which can really weigh on your daily life."
Her career is full of community-service contributions that include starting the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in Bellevue, helping form the Bellevue Police Foundation and serving on the boards of several local nonprofits including Youth Eastside Services (YES), Youth Link Board and the Bellevue Rotary. She became police chief in 2007.
But the department has also faced turmoil in the past year. Since fall 2012, Pillo's had to make widely scrutinized decisions about how to punish two off-duty officers who were acting belligerently toward families and Seattle police at a Seahawks game. One was demoted and the other, Andy Hanke, was suspended for 30 days. Hanke was charged with a DUI last year in a separate incident and decided to resign earlier this month.
Pillo also investigated and demoted two commanders who failed to report an extramarital affair that Pillo said would "impact the department for years to come."
"People are people and, yeah, we've had some incidents when a small fraction of our force made some frankly stupid decisions," Pillo said. "I feel like I issued fair yet firm discipline."
Exactly 35 years before the date she plans to retire, Pillo entered public service as a fresh Washington State University graduate at the Mercer Island Police department. She had wanted to be a probation officer because that's what most women became if they worked in law enforcement at the time. Instead, she dared herself to apply for a "patrolman" job posting.
"I thought, 'What the heck; I have a criminal-justice degree,' " Pillo wrote in an email announcing her retirement to city staff. "I'll give it a go and get some experience so I can be a probation counselor."
She ended up sticking with patrol and investigations at that department, where she was the only female "patrolman" when she started. Seven years later, during a time when there were still few women working in police departments nationally, she joined the Bellevue department, which had only a handful of female officers.
"Just like with any career, once you prove you can do the job, you've got everyone's respect," Pillo said of pushing forward in a mostly male-dominated field.
Throughout her years in Bellevue, Pillo served as a detective, hostage negotiator and cultural-diversity instructor.
She eventually became Bellevue's first female captain, major, deputy chief and chief.
"She helped blaze the trail for women in the field of law enforcement," said Bellevue City Manager Brad Miyake in a statement. "Our city is no doubt a better place because of her service and leadership."
Miyake said he expects the city to choose its next chief later this year but wasn't more specific than that. He said the city would be taking full advantage of the transition time to immediately start a recruitment process.
Seattle is also searching for a new police chief to fill a spot that has been open since John Diaz announced his retirement in early 2013. Jim Pugel took over as interim chief and was replaced this month by Harry Bailey, who came out of retirement as a Seattle police assistant chief.
Pillo said although she's sure there will be a national search for the next Bellevue chief, she thinks there are viable candidates for the job within the department. She said she'll participate in the transition process until her last day.
Until then, she says she's still boss and is planning on acting like it. There are still three specific things she said she wants to bring before the Bellevue City Council before she retires but would not say what they were yet.
"There's no lame duck here," Pillo said. "I've always had a strong work ethic and I want to remain a good role model for the rest of my staff."

Don't Know How You Do the Voodoo That You Do
A couple of weeks ago Jen and I went to Portland, Oregon to investigate the home of FitBloggin'13, a conference I organize and host.
Jen promised she wouldn't check out all the touristy things since we only had 24 hours and a business meeting, but she just couldn't help herself. I received this email just a few days before our flight…
ok…. I know I said that I would not investigate, but I was watching the travel channel and saw this!!!!!
and this!!!
They are both within walking distance from our hotel!
She cracks me up!
So we had Voodoo Doughnut on our list of things to visit and actually ended up stumbling on it when we noticed a line of people and wondered what they were waiting for.
Apparently, it was donuts!
At first I wasn't really into it.
I mean, don't get me wrong I like donuts, but to wait in line for them?
OK, Why not?
The signs where fun.
And so was the people watching.
(Love that tattoo and so appropriate for my current state of mind.)
After about 30 minute we were in and people were jealous.
I must admit, I was a little overwhelmed.
The menu showcased some interesting choices.
- Bacon Maple Bar - Raised yeast doughnut with maple frosting and bacon on top!
- Captain my Captain - Raised yeast doughnut with vanilla frosting and Captain Crunch!
- Triple chocolate penetration - Chocolate cake doughnut with chocolate frosting and coco-puffs!
- Mango Tango - Raised yeast doughnut filled with mango jelly and topped with vanilla frosting and tang!
- Maple Blazer Blunt - It's a raised doughnut rolled into a blunt with maple frosting and red sprinkle ember, prices vary due to Blazer Mania!
- Cock-N-Balls - Cock-n-balls shaped raised yeast doughnut triple filled with Bavarian cream and topped with chocolate frosting!
- Arnold Palmer - Plain cake doughnut with vanilla frosting and lemonade/ice tea dust on top!
Told you.
The atmosphere and decor where fun too.
I decided on Triple Chocolate Penetration (of course!) and whatever that one is covered in M&M's was –yes, I have a slight chocolate obsession. Jen chose the Mango Tango and a plain old Chocolate Glazed.
I have to say, once the donuts were in my hands I was awfully excited.
We couldn't wait!
I dug into Triple Chocolate.
And Jen grabbed the Mango.
Total YUM! How can a chocolate donut, topped in chocolate glade and then dipped in cocoa puffs NOT be good?!? That being said they were more fun for the novelty then anything else.
Overall, I'm a fan. It's a fun, quirky spot that's worth a visit the next time you find yourself in Portland.

Civil Rights Attorneys
Pennsylvania - New Jersey - Delaware - New York - Nationwide
Cases taken on by Kline & Specter occasionally transcend typical liability issues. In some instances, clients have suffered – along with their physical injuries – a violation of their civil rights, namely their right to be free from harm.
In these cases, Kline & Specter has obtained not only redress for its clients but also important societal changes to protect the safety of citizens.
In 1999, Shanin Specter sued the City of Philadelphia after LeeMore Rich and his infant son were killed by a speeding police car as they stood on a street corner. The civil rights claim allowed Specter to circumvent the city's sovereign immunity – which set a $250,000 cap on lawsuits. He settled the case for $2.5 million for Rich's estate and his surviving five-year-old daughter. (See Gillyard/Rich)
But Specter did not stop there. In researching the case, Specter discovered many smaller settlements paid by the city to victims of similar accidents. He also found that over roughly a four-year period city police vehicles had been involved in 3,800 collisions, most of them avoidable. Specter's persistence in negotiations with the Philadelphia Police Department resulted in a pledge from then-Police Commissioner John Timoney to institute a series of reforms to improve police driver training, deter reckless driving and heighten safety.
Later in the same year, Tom Kline also filed a civil rights claim in the highly publicized Hall v. SEPTA case in which a young boy's foot was severed in a subway escalator. SEPTA, as a government-related agency, also enjoyed sovereign immunity and a $250,000 limit on lawsuits against it. Kline alleged that the transit agency had deprived Shareif Hall of his civil right to personal safety.
The case resulted in a $51 million jury verdict and a $1 million fine imposed by the presiding judge against SEPTA. The fine was later reduced to $100,000 after SEPTA agreed to inspect and repair escalators that were found to be dilapidated throughout the system. The escalator on which Shareif was injured was replaced with a new one.
Kline, along with attorney Dominic Guerrini, also represented the family of a Cherry Hill man killed in Camden County Jail by another inmate. The federal suit charged county correctional officials with "reckless and deliberate indifference" in the death of Joel Seidel, an older man who was beaten to death by a much younger and stronger prisoner with a history of violent assaults. The Seidel Case settled for $4 million, one of the largest-ever settlements in a case of its kind.
The civil rights lawsuit claims that Seidel was denied his constitutional rights to medical care, due process and to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. The suit cites overcrowding at the prison in general and the failure to move Seidel to a hospital, psychiatric facility or his own cell and failure to provide adequate observation. Among the defendants are the Camden County Jail, Camden County Department of Corrections and Prison Health Services Inc. and Steininger Behavioral Care Services, both of which had contracts to provide services to inmates.
The firm handles cases in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. For cases outside those states, Kline & Specter works with local attorneys in each state as applicable.

- A $10 million settlement has been reached between a county and the family of a man who suffered a catastrophic brain injury when he was shoved by a sheriff's deputy. After the man had been wrongly identified as an assault suspect to sheriff deputies, the officers yelled at him from across the street. When he began running away, they chased him for several blocks. As the man slowed to a stop, the deputy slammed him into the concrete wall. A surveillance camera captured footage of the incident, and the man can be seen raising his hands before he is hit. The man is bedridden, unable to talk and will require around-the-clock care for the rest of his life. (Full story)

I walk into one of my local supplement shops and got offered to try Intek Evolution Protein, never heard of it but its profile seemed legit. With 34 grams of protein (whey isolate, micellar casein, egg albumin, 160 calories, total carbs 2g, total fat 1g.) 10/10
The flavor I'm testing is called "orange creamsicle)
I mixed 1 scoop with 12 oz of water
Mixibility was perfect with just water, used a normal shaker no blender ball needed or extra spoon needed for stirring. Looking forward to mixing it with milk 10/10
Texture is amazingly thick and creamy 9/10
Flavor, was on point with the orange creamsicle, tasted just like a Flintstones push pop as a kid, and the after taste was just as pleasent 10/10
Overall 9.6/10
I will definitly pick up a 5 lb tub next time! The flavor was great, possibly one of the best I've tried. But I can't compare it to XF/Trutein or any other since I haven't tried them.
Sorry no pics, post count isnt high enough

Last week, the Senate Finance Committee held a hearing on Health Information Technology, titled, Health Information Technology: A Building Block to Quality Health Care. Dr. Farzad Mostashari, the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology at the Department of Health and Human Services and Dr. Patrick Conway the Chief Medical Officer and Director, Center for Clinical Standards and Quality; and Acting Director, Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, testified before the Committee.
Of particular interest to anesthesiology, Senator Pat Robert (R-KS) asked if there are any plans to improve flexibility for anesthesiologists, pathologists and radiologists in the meaningful use program. Dr. Mostashari responded, "We are now hearing about the difficulties they may face as hospital-based users of the hospital-based system in meeting some of those requirements. So we have in Stage 2, in the final rule that CMS promulgated, provided for the opportunity for exceptions for hospitalists, like anesthesiologists, pathologists, radiologists, whose systems are the hospital systems they use."
ASA successfully advocated for the hardship exemption, which was finalized as part of the Stage 2 Final Rule.
Watch the Senate Finance Committee hearing. (The discussion about anesthesiologists and other hospital-based physicians occurs at 1:13:04.)

Pastor Matt once said something in passing that grabbed my attention and has stayed with me for a long time: he said that all of God's blessings and acts of discipline in the Scriptures are tied into our relationships—either with our relationship with Him or our relationships with others.
As I've searched the Scriptures, I haven't found any exception to this principle. In fact, it seems to me, there's very little in the Bible we can understand apart from the context of our relationship with Jesus and others. For instance, take the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22) – do any of these things have any meaning at all outside the context of our relationships?
Or, consider 1 Corinthians 13. This famous chapter is all about the preeminence of love–again, (as obvious as it sounds), something that is meaningful only when it becomes the driving engine of our relationships, while its absence results in nothing but noise.
Or, what did Jesus say was the greatest commandment? "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." – Luke 10:27
Wow! There it is again!
Holiness. Prayer. Obedience. Service. Evangelism. Mediation. Spiritual Gifts. Teaching. Fellowship. Our effectiveness in all of these things utterly depends upon the health of our relationships.
So what do we do if our relationships are in trouble?
A good first step is to look at the Apostle Paul's admonition in Romans 12:18: "As far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men."
Here are some practical questions to ask ourselves along these lines:
Do I care about what is important to other people, and do my words and actions reflect that concern? Am I consistently putting the interests of others on the same plane of consideration as my own? Am I appropriately vulnerable with trustworthy people? Do I quickly acknowledge the losses (big and small) my sins and oversights cause in the lives of others? If there is tension in my relationships, do I initiate and seek resolution?
Of course, not all of our relationships are going to be characterized by warm feelings and deep affection. If we're following Christ, some people are going to be downright hostile toward us–Jesus couldn't have been clearer about this (see John 15:18-25).
What matters, especially in these tension-filled relationships, is to keep following Paul's admonition: "As far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men." You have no control over the degree to which others take this directive seriously.
Try taking a look at your spiritual health in the context of your relationships–you may find a lot of things that once seemed mysterious suddenly make sense.

Press Release
For immediate release: Thursday 14 July 2005
The European Commission Green Paper on the future of asset management, published today, is an important step towards cutting costs and enhancing the efficiency of the European asset management industry according to the Investment Management Association. By recommending incremental steps to eliminate the barriers to a single market the Commission has chosen the best possible option for both investors and managers.
Sheila Nicoll, Deputy Chief Executive of the IMA commented:
" The investment funds industry in Europe is frustrated by barriers to cross-border business, with the additional costs to managers and investors that those barriers bring. Over 2 years ago IMA suggested that savings of up to £100,000 for the average pension could be achieved if the single market for investment funds in Europe worked efficiently. We also identified a number of focused, realistically achievable steps to enhance the single market and these are all outlined in today's publication.
Simplifying the registration process, allowing funds to be merged and avoiding duplication through the use of cross-border pooling techniques would go a long way to achieving the significant economies of scale we identified back in 2003.
We are keen to continue to help the Commission progress their proposals as quickly as possible. A recent report by IMA and EFAMA recommended specific actions that can be taken to streamline the registration process to reduce the steps firms have to take in order to be able to market their funds in other countries. IMA will also shortly be publishing proposals on how best to achieve the pooling of funds."
For further information, please contact:
Helen Stephenson, Communications Officer, IMA, 020 7831 0898
Out of hours contact:
Mona Patel, Head of Communications, IMA, 07834 089 332
Notes to Editors
1. The European Commission Green Paper "Enhancing the EU framework for investment funds" was published as a requirement under Article 2 of Directive 2001/108/EC and evaluates the impact of European legislation which was put in place to support the development of UCITS in the European market place.
2. In May 2003 IMA published "Towards a Single European Market in Asset Management", an examination of the obstacles to greater competition in the provision of savings products by asset managers.
3. IMA and EFAMA (the European Fund and Asset Managers' Association) published "A harmonised, simplified approach to UCITS registration" on 26 April 2005.

Chan tells explained to us that Citi.Transmitter was his final-year project in 2010 when he was studying at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He says that the system "is designed for personal transportation, and also the user can, based on their own need, select a module to apply in different situations." He says "the design idea is mainly based on research from the U.S. Department of Transportation," which says that "76 percent of people drive alone for work," meaning that "a vehicle of more than two seats is kind of a waste for a single person… they cannot fully utilize the vehicle, and it wastes energy and time due to the increase in traffic jams."
Chan's design concept provides a potential contribution to the vision of sustainable cities. Obviously, public transit, walking, and biking are key elements of an environmentally friendly city. But at the same time, many city dwellers need to have the option of personal motor transportation. A small, modular design such as Citi.Transmitter might allow the user to "right-size" his or her personal transportation, saving energy and reducing traffic problems. Electric vehicles (EVs) produce very low atmospheric emissions, minimizing the local environmental impact.
Chan's design won the best-of-show award at the Hong Kong Polytechnic design school's annual show in 2010. He tells us that some automotive companies are researching modular vehicle designs, although, as far as he knows, none has referenced Citi.Transmitter.

Cold temperatures make tapping maples tricky
Experts say maple producers should be "very careful" if they have to set maple taps in very cold weather.
Tim Perkins of the University of Vermont Proctor Maple Research Center says besides damaging the growth layer of the tree, tapping in extreme cold can also reduce the sap yield by creating a leak. Perkins says not every producer will be out this early, but large operations with more than 10,000 taps "need to go out" because it's a time-consuming process.
Kyle Branon of Branon Family Maple Orchards says trees can withstand this kind of cold but tapping into them during extreme cold risks creating cracks.
Paul Palmer of Palmer Lane Maple says he will wait for warmer temperatures but if he had to tap now, he'd worry about splitting trees.

Pauline and Michael welcome guests to come and share the wonderful countryside at Plas Bwlch. The name translates to Mansion of the Valley, and is a cosy Georgian style farmhouse, situated approx 1000 feet above sea level. Our smallholding extends to 15 acres of farmland with breathtaking views up and down the Upper Wye Valley. On our farm we run a small flock of Pedigree Dutch Zwartbles sheep, which are quite rare in the U.K. together with a flock of Beulah speckled and Devils. Bridge speckled sheep. We also keep various chickens, so guests can be assured of fresh farm eggs with their hearty breakfast in the morning.
Lambing usually takes place around the end of March or beginning of April and guests are most welcome to come and see the baby lambs, especially the Zwartbles lambs, who look like small calves when they are young. For the bird watchers among you Plas Bwlch offers spectacular views of the beautiful Red Kite, which has been re-introduced throughout Mid Wales, soaring up on the thermals for hours on end. The Kite was at the point of extinction but now, thankfully, it is thriving yet again. For an even closer view, guests can visit the local Red Kite feeding stations. We are also visited by sparrowhawks, woodpeckers, nuthatches, siskins to name but a few. Very recently we have had a pair of Osprey come into the area, as they follow the River Wye up through the valley.
Our Bed and Breakfast accommodation is rated 3 star with the Welsh Tourist Board and comprises of a double room and a twin room, both en-suite. Visitors are assured of a peaceful stay as the guest rooms are all situated on the lower ground floor.
For guests who wish to go exploring we have various maps and literature covering the Wye Valley and surrounding countryside. The area is renowned for its walking and cycling routes, with Lon Las Cymru (The Welsh National Cycle Route) passing through Llangurig on its way to Rhayader, whilst The Severn Way extends some 210 miles and is the longest riverside walk in Britain. If required we are more than happy to provide guests with packed lunches.
Our large swept drive has ample off road parking for guests and for the enthusiasts out there we also offer secure and locked parking for bikes, trailers and rally cars.
We look forward to meeting friends both old and new and hope your stay with us is both relaxing and memorable.

"The Talladega Superspeedway is NASCAR's biggest, fastest track," said Dr. Bobby Lewis, medical director for Talladega Superspeedway. "Because the drivers draft during the race, there is more opportunity for a multiple-car accident. We usually have a 'big one' each race."
Lewis said if there is a "big one," it is not unusual to get 8 to 10 drivers in the medical center all at once.
"But they may not all be injured," he said. "With safer cars, safety innovations, safer walls and SAFER (steel and foam energy reduction) there are now less serious injuries from crashes."
Lewis said during races, there are two doctors suited up in protective gear and trained to go out onto the track incase of a wreck, two ambulances on standby and a LifeSaver helicopter.
"I'm trained to help get drivers out of the car and do any lifesaving procedures immediately on the track," he said.
Lewis said he first became involved with the track in 1981, when the LifeSaver helicopter began coming to staff the races.
"I was a physician on the helicopter," he said. "I've been the medical director for about 15 years now."
Talladega Superspeedway Chairman Grant Lynch said Lewis is a phenomenal resource for the track.
"His experience with NASCAR and the intricacies of racing make him the perfect person to lead our team in the infield medical center," Lynch said. "His leadership and medical knowledge is confidence-inspiring to drivers and series officials. As a track operator, it's comforting to know Dr. Lewis is at the helm."
Lewis said having the LifeSaver helicopter available has been a lifesaver—literally.
"The worst wreck I've seen here happened in the late 1990s," he said. "One car went over the wall on a turn. While everyone was watching that, Stanley Smith's car got hit broadside. He came as close as you can come to dying and lived, but had it not been for the helicopter he probably wouldn't have survived."
Lewis said the LifeSaver helicopter can transport injured people to a trauma center in roughly 15 minutes, compared to 45 minutes to an hour by ambulance.
"We flew out a driver from this year's spring race who hit the wall very hard and had a concussion," he said. "And Carl Edwards' wreck a few years ago, his car got airborne and hit the fence. He was not injured but parts of his car and the fence struck and injured fans. We LifeSavered two fans who were injured and treated the rest here. Fortunately, they sustained minor injuries."
Lewis said typically it's a waiting game.
"It's something of a joke—not if something happens but when it happens," he said. "And when it happens we rush to respond."
Lewis said in addition to the two doctors who are suited up and able to go onto the track, the two ambulances and LifeSaver helicopter, there are 2-3 additional doctors, 8-10 nurses and an x-ray technician in the 10-bed medical center.
"We have a modern, up-to-date x-ray system here," he said. "There are also three aide stations in the grandstands to take care of fans, each staffed by a doctor. All combined, on a slow race week we have about 400 visits and on a busy race week we get about 700-800 visits from minor to serious medical complaints."
Lewis said the medical problems are pretty much what you would see in any emergency room.
"With all the race fans, that is enough people for a significant-sized city here over the course of the weekend—and all the medical problems that go along with it," he said. "We almost always have a heart attack or two. We've seen pretty much everything—cuts, scratches, broken bones, strokes and more. We joke about it, but the one thing we haven't done yet is deliver a baby."
Lewis said the job is never boring.
"We stay open 24/7 through the race, and have at least two emergency physicians as part of the team," he said. "You meet really nice folks here and get to know then very well through training and working together—you have to know you can count on the people who will be helping you. When I go out there (to help an injured driver), I know the medics—who they are and what they can do—and they know I can help them out."
Lewis said Talladega Superspeedway has been recognized in the NASCAR community for its medical center several times.
"We are very proud of that," he said. "We have great teamwork here."
Lewis said what he looks forward to most is seeing the friends and folks he works with each race.
"It's always satisfying to take care of folks, and they are appreciative of that," he said. "We have people who were treated during previous races come back and say thanks or stop in to say 'hi'. One man had a heart attack in the stands, and the medics saved his life. He came back a couple years later to say thanks."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Juan Uribe matched his career high with seven RBIs, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers rout the struggling San Francisco Giants on Friday night.
Uribe chased Matt Cain with a bases-clearing triple in the third and also had a two-run homer in the seventh. He also had seven RBIs in a 2004 game when he played for the Montreal Expos.
The Dodgers won for the 11th time in 13 games. Hanley Ramirez had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 16 games, and Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched into the seventh inning in his first win since May 28.
The Giants have dropped four straight and 12 of 14. Hunter Pence and Tony Abreu each drove in a run for the World Series champions.

I'm excited for your weight watchers experience, and hope to join along as soon as I have this baby! After having a baby, you long to have your body back and to see a resemblance of ANY part of the old you once the baby is born.
I have done much better this pregnancy as far as watching not to indulge my cravings, but I can't wait to go back to working out and counting calories. (I am not one of those girls that LOVES being pregnant, and all of the curves that come with it).
Keep us posted on your success and for more recipes.

Code Freeze
From: Linus Torvalds email@example.com Newsgroups: comp.os.linux.announce Subject: Approaching 1.2.x, I hope Date: 30 Jul 1994 02:05:45 +0300
I'm slowly making ready for something looking like a code-freeze for 1.2.x, and that means you can all start doing your favorite pre-release stuff: doing weird things to the latest kernels and seeing how they break. And maybe even sending me in a report (or patches if you feel like it).
The latest kernel right now is 1.1.36 (but they have changed daily) and contains the "mprotect()" system call that some people have been asking for. The last kernels have gone through major re-organizations in the memory manager, so we'll see how well it works out. Also, I wrote the mprotect stuff from scratch instead of using any of the old patches, so that's rather untested. If you have something depending on mprotect, do give this one a try.
(Aside: The mmap() interface still doesn't allow shared writeable mappings, but now you can do a shared read-only map and then "upgrade" it with mprotect(). That's not supposed to work, but I didn't bother to put in the extra checks, as I hope to have real write-mappings working some day. Going through mprotect is likely to give bogus results, etc; don't even try it as the kernel may do strange things.)
Lots of other stuff has also changed in the 1.1.x releases; sorry for not doing release-notes, but I'm too lazy. Essentially everything is faster, bigger and better, but it may be a bit unstable which is why I'd like people to test it out. The credit goes to everybody who has written code and tested so far (including, but not limited to Alan Cox, Eric Youngdale, Mark Lord, Jacques Gelinas, Hannu Savolainen, Frank Lofaro, Rik Faith, Bjvrn Ekwall, Remy Card, Dmitry Gorodchanin...,the list goes on forever).
Anyway, I hope 1.1.40 (or 1.1.50 or whatever) will turn out stable enough to be called 1.2.0 so that people who want to use mainly stable kernels know which version to get. Sadly, everything always works perfectly for me, so in order to find the problems some outside help is needed.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Bats Right Hand
Meg Lanning is fast becoming a superstar of women's cricket. Despite her young age, the Commonwealth Bank Southern Stars captain has made a big impact at both domestic and international level.
She made her domestic debut for Victoria in 2008 at the age of 16 and quickly settled into the top order. Lanning had a breakout domestic season in 2011-12 in which she claimed the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) T20 Player of the Year award, as well as the Sharon Tredrea Trophy and Cathryn Fitzpatrick Award for the WNCL and Women's T20 Player of the Year respectively for the Commonwealth Bank VicSpirit.
Lanning finished as the third-highest run scorer at the 2012 ICC Women's World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka andwas rewarded with selection in the Team of the Tournament. Her results also saw her become the first player to score over 30 runs in five consecutive T20 internationals.
Lanning enjoyed a record-breaking season in 2012-13 at international, domestic and club level. In December 2012 at the age of 20 she broke the record for the fastest 50 and fastest 100 in an ODI by an Australian female cricketer.
She required only 23 balls to reach her half-century, then went on to notch her ton from just 45 balls. Her knock included 18 fours and three sixes and saw her overtake Karen Rolton on the honour roll, who took 57 balls to reach the milestone in 2000.
While playing for Victoria in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) earlier that season Lanning broke the record for the highest individual score in a WNCL match when she hit 175, including 27 boundaries, against the ACT Meteors; once again eclipsing Rolton (173).
Only eight days after snatching the WNCL record, Lanning broke the record for the highest score in a Victorian Women's Cricket Association (VWCA) match. Playing for Box Hill, she posted 241 off 136 balls, which included 34 fours and four sixes.
She capped off her season by helping the Southern Stars claim the ICC Women's World Cup in India in early 2013, a tournament in which she notched her fourth one-day international (ODI) century in against New Zealand.
Lanning took over as full-time ODI captain in 2014, after leading the T20 side earlier that year and filling in with the 50-over side in Jodie Fields' absence due to injury. She went on to lead the Southern Stars to a clean sweep of Pakistan in both ODI and T20 series.
