Weekends were made for pancakes.
Although I did survive on flavored instant oatmeal packets in college (especially the fruit n creme variety ) I now prefer plain, old fashioned rolled oats – they fluff up nicer, and I can jazz them up however I want.
But there are still a few samples from Better Oats in the pantry, and this is my favorite thing to do with them!
Instant Oatmeal Pancakes (serves 2)
- 2 packets of flavored Instant Oatmeal (I used Maple and Brown Sugar)
- 2 TB ground flax + 6 TB water
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
Could this be easier? Combine everything in a bowl. I will admit – I tried using a flax egg which didn't look like it was working, so I added the real egg. (Sorry, vegans.) You probably don't need the extra water, but the flax is nice for omega power.
Grill in a nonstick skillet for a few minutes on each side, til brown.
Top it however you want (they're already sweetened, so they don't need much)
Hearty! Filling!
Plus vitamin C!
Weekends were also made for movies.
Lately I've been going to the theater almost every day! I told you – we see a ridiculous amount during awards season!
I always pack my own apple.
Today, I wanted an overpriced soda too. Check out the shiny new dispensers!
Don't you feel bad for the old ones?!?
So many choices!!!
Abe and I shared a small Diet Barq's
We also split a Cliff Lemon Bar
Couple handfuls of Abe's popcorn too (we've been craving it since last night's documentary!)
I feel weird saying this (because it was a very depressing film), but we both REALLY enjoyed Blue Valentine. Great performances, with a compelling yet simple story. I also loved the parts filmed in Astoria. And, as a happily married couple that's been together for almost 14 years, it made me appreciate our relationship even more – dare I say it got me feeling kind of romantic?!?

Tomlin spreads blame for letdown in pass defense
Tomlin spreads blame for letdown in pass defense
By John Harris
Saturday, November 20, 2010
The words should be chilling to Steelers fans.
Asked about the play of his secondary after New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw for 350 yards and three touchdowns in a 13-point Steelers loss, coach Mike Tomlin passed the buck to his front seven.
"Our pass defense is a combination of a lot of people. Not only corners but safties and linebackers and (pass) rush,'' Tomlin said. "A lot of the things that went on in that game, many of them were underneath throws that aren't directly involving cornerback play.''
Brady wasn't sacked in 43 attempts. With no consistent pass rush to force him to hurry his throws, Brady had plenty of time to target nine different receivers. Brady averaged 8.1 yards per completion, the highest average permitted by the Steelers this season.
"We weren't able to get consistent pressure,'' said Tomlin after the game.
Two days later, when he had a chance to view game tape, Tomlin added, "We all accept responsibility for our inability to consistently stop the New England Patriots. Coaches, players everyone. Not only the cornerback position.''
Added inside linebacker and defensive captain James Farrior: "We can't put those guys (cornerbacks) on an island and expect them to cover for a long time. We have to get a better pass rush. We definitely have to take it upon the front seven and the guys that are rushing the quarterback to have those guys' backs. They've got the hardest job on the field.''
Steelers cornerbacks have been a lightning rod for criticism following losses to Baltimore, New Orleans and New England. However, Tomlin's comments offered a different perspective about what went wrong defensively in those games.
The lack of a pass rush, for one.
In their three losses, the Steelers allowed six touchdown passes against only three sacks in 124 pass attempts.
"There were times when we could have done things better. And there were times there was nothing you could do about it,'' said outside linebacker James Harrison, who leads the Steelers with seven sacks this season. "We could have had more pressure when Brady held the ball long enough to where we could have got there.''
Former New England safety Rodney Harrison offered another perspective that could help explain Brady's success against the Steelers.
Appearing on NBC, Harrison predicted before last week's game that Steelers cornerbacks would play man-to-man against New England's receivers because "the teams that have beaten the Patriots (Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets) played tight man-to-man coverage. The Patriots love those short, intermediate routes. If you're playing zone coverage like the Pittsburgh Steelers do all the time, there's some openings. But I think they're going to play man coverage.''
The Steelers played mostly zone against New England as Brady had a field day.
"In pass coverage, it's all on us because we're the guys covering the people who catch the ball,'' free safety Ryan Clark said. "We know it all works together. We know that when James (Harrison) and LaMarr (Woodley) are getting to the quarterback, we're a better team. But we also need to give them time to get back there. You can't let Tom Brady throw on his third step or his fifth step, or have a guy wide open if you expect the rush to get there.''

Re: Tomlin spreads blame for letdown in pass defense
OK I put this on Tomlin then. If the teams that beat the Pats played tight man and the Pats love the short crossing and the intermediate routes then why in hell do you play zone? Why would you play to their strengths and not their weaknesses? Makes no sense to me.
We need better coaching from the head coach. When your coordinators won't make adjustments, it is up to the head guy to make them do it.
Come on Tomlin, just don't accept the blame, do something about it.

Re: Tomlin spreads blame for letdown in pass defense
It seems like the coaching staff is to hard headed. LeBeau has called great plays for years, he might be the best defensive coordinator there is, but when a team is burning your zone's then you play man. That's common sense. Arians has been calling plays and watching them fail for years and hasn't changed. I agree with Tomlin that all 11 guys on defense are responsible for pass defense, but so is he. If the coordinators aren't making the right call Tomlin has to step up. Watching player error is discomforting, watching coordinator and coaching error play after play is painstaking. Hard headedness will not when you very many games.

Re: Tomlin spreads blame for letdown in pass defense
No, but he should be held accountable. Even the best have bad days, and the fact that in 3 or 4 heartbreaking losses this decade against the Pats, the Pats used the exact same offensive strategy against us it disturbing....
We only rushed 3 the whole game, and dropped everybody into coverage, playing our usual soft zones that Brady always picks apart, 10 to 15 yards a pop.
As soon as they changed up in the 4th quarter and started rushing Brady, what happened? He got a 15-yard penalty for thowing the ball away to the sideline cameraman, got thrown to the ground a few times, and generally did not complete another pass the rest of the game....had we done that starting in the 1st quarter, we would have really given Justin Bieber something to yell about and flail his mop around about on the sidelines....

Re: Tomlin spreads blame for letdown in pass defense
I am a HUGE LeBeau fan....but after that game in which every long time Steeler fan KNEW they would dink and dunk us with pass attempts...and run very little...We still could not call the right plays to stop them. Run 9 yards for a hook pattern...there's the ball...etc...Same thing happens every time we play the Pats. As amazing as LeBeau has been for us...that IMO is our weak area in this one sided rivalry. We can't keep doing the same thing on D each time we play them...lets try something new.

Felix Neureuther wins final World Cup slalomBy GRAHAM DUNBAR
The Associated Press | March 18,2013AP Photo
Germanys Felix Neureuther, center, winner of the Sundays World Cup slalom, celebrates with second place finisher Marcel Hirscher of Austria, left, and Croatias Ivica Kostelic, third, in Lenzerheide, Switzerland.LENZERHEIDE, Switzerland Felix Neureuther of Germany defied the pain of a back injury to edge out overall World Cup champion Marcel Hirscher and win the mens season-ending slalom race on Sunday.
Neureuther, who limped off the course after crashing out of Saturdays giant slalom, said he had three early morning injections to fight his injury.
After the way I felt, to stand here as the winner, its a little miracle that I could do it, said the 28-year-old German, who hung on to his opening-leg lead. I couldnt believe how fast I was.
Neureuther won his second slalom of the season by finishing 0.36 seconds ahead of Austrian Hirscher in a two-run time of 1 minute, 52.20 seconds. The German finished second in the standings.
Hirscher already won the season-long slalom title and ensured he finished on the podium in all nine World Cup races in the discipline.
Im happy with the whole season, said the 24-year-old Hirscher, who matched Alberto Tombas record of top-3 finishes in a nine-race slalom program. The Italian great achieved it in the 1991-92 World Cup season.
Its unbelievable for me to be in the same rank, Hirscher said.
Hirschers dominating season in slalom included the world championships gold medal last month in Schladming, Austria.
Ivica Kostelic, the 2011 overall World Cup champion from Croatia, was third Sunday, trailing Neureuther by 0.51.
The podium placings were the same when Neureuther won in January at Wengen, Switzerland.
In 20 World Cup events, Hirscher had 18 top-3 finishes, and he was set to win the GS at Adelboden, Switzerland, before making a big error near the end. His other miss was a rare start in super-G at Beaver Creek, Colorado, where he placed 32nd.
Hirscher added 80 World Cup points Sunday to complete his season with 1,535 overall. He had 180 more when he won the giant crystal globe trophy for the first time last season.
Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway, who skips slalom races, finished second with 1,226. Ted Ligety of the United States placed third with a career-best total of 1,022.
The giant slalom specialist skied out midway through the first slalom run, one day after winning his sixth World Cup race this season.
Its the story of my slalom season, said Ligety, who has targeted improved results in the most technical discipline to challenge Hirscher next year.
American teammate David Chodounsky also skied out as only 18 of 26 starters completed the first leg on a tricky snow surface.MORE IN Wire SportsBALTIMORE Olympic gold medal swimmer Michael Phelps avoided jail time on Friday when a judge...

Style Is Especially Important For Special Events
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Even though the temperatures are going down, the formal dresses at Jovani are as hot as ever this season. Jovani's special occasion dresses, perfect for prom 2014, make their wearers the envy of all who happen to gaze upon her. This season, Jovani carries designs featuring daring, sexy illusion necklines and eye-catching beading and embroidery in luxurious fabrics, most brilliantly used on the company's couture-style wedding dresses. In fact, the designers behind Jovani always know how to match elegance and current fashions to the occasion at hand.
While prom is still on the horizon, there are plenty of opportunities to wear a Jovani creation in the meantime. A fun evening out, Homecoming, or a family member's wedding are all excellent reasons to cull a fashion-forward piece from the Jovani collection. Even if her style is more subdued and she favors the classic look of a little black dress, Jovani offers plenty of black, short party dresses with varying necklines styles, embellishments and fabrics so she can dance the night away in what makes her feel most beautiful.
For the girl who wants celebrity pizzazz, Jovani offers dresses that evoke red carpet style. If she is daring enough to pull off a dress with a short, fringed hemline and ornately embellished corset bodice featuring stunning black and gold beadwork, style #1355 is sure to suit her to a T, not to mention it will turn heads at the club. For the girl with sassy style, a similarly bold look is found in style #1412, sure to fit the bill for the girl who wants to be the center of attention when she dons it for a night of dancing and fun. The dress features an open back and is adorned with square-shaped gunmetal-colored sequins and—like most of Jovani's designs—is available in plus sizes. Because the dress perfectly showcases her beautiful face, she can accessorize with beaded drop earrings and a chunky silver bracelet.

Hunting Hurricanes
The SRA radar consists of a 20-inch Rexalite lens, a feed horn on the lens axis which looks up into a mechanical scanning mirror that mirror-images the feed horn to the focal point of the lens, a pulse modulator and RF exciter, receiver, 1.7KW Extended Interaction Amplifier (EIK) and the RT-Linux data system. The data system is the topic we will discuss here. Figure 3 is a photograph of the SRA scanner installed on the NOAA hurricane hunter. The fairing is removed in this photo.
Figure 4. SRA Data Power System
Figure 4 is a block diagram of the SRA power system. The SRA requires an uninterruptible power source for Linux and the three differential GPS receivers and computers. Instead of an off-the-shelf UPS, we went with a 12-volt 25 AH "RG" (recombinant-gas) sealed aircraft battery as the prime power source for the system. This was chosen for two reasons:
We needed an uninterruptible power source, because aircraft are notorious for power dropouts during engine start and shutdown.
We needed to power our 12-volt GPS receivers for up to an hour before and after each mission without aircraft power applied.
We purchased a 12-volt input 150W PC power supply to power the data system. The battery can power the data system and the three GPS receivers for about two hours, or the GPS receivers alone for five hours. We located the battery in the rear of the custom data system housing.
Figure 4 depicts the wiring of our power system.
Figure 5. Block Diagram of the SRA Data System
Figure 5 is a block diagram depicting the internals of the SRA data system. The computer is a single-board 200 MHz Pentium which plugs into a passive backplane with ISA and PCI slots. The CPU card contains PCI-VGA video, PCI-IDE controller, PCI fast-wide SCSI controller, 64MB of RAM, 512MB of cache, two serial ports, a parallel port and the CPU. A PCI 3c595 network card provides networking and a special-purpose ISA card loaded with PIC microcontrollers provides an interface to the radar systems. A 6.4GB EIDE disk drive is used as /dev/hda to hold Linux and for data storage. A backup SparQ 1.0GB removable drive is installed as /dev/hdb. The system has no floppy or CD-ROM drive. If a CD or floppy is needed, they are simply remotely mounted with NFS from one of the Linux laptops which have both. No keyboard or monitor is used for normal operations, though they can be plugged in if the need arises.
Figure 6. The SRA Data System during Development
Figure 7. View of SRA Data System Internals
Initially, we used a 4.2GB SCSI drive, but that used too much electrical power. Early development was done using a 250W 117vac PC power supply. When we switched to the 12-volt input 150W power supply, we discovered we were over our power budget by 25 watts or so. During the boot process, the power consumed by the combination of the SCSI drive and the waveform digitizer would cause the power supply to "spike" the 5-volt source and cause a reboot. It took us several hours to find this problem. It would generally happen just as Linux began loading, due to the digitizer being powered up and the drive being accessed. During the DOS boot, the digitizer was not powered until after DOS booted and after the digitizer configuration program loaded and ran. Consequently, the loading of Linux was the straw that broke the camel's back. We finally settled on a 6.4GB EIDE disk drive for Linux and for data storage. The power consumption of the EIDE drive is substantially less than the SCSI and no perceptible difference is seen in performance of the data system.
Figure 6 is a photo of the SRA data system during development. It was in this "state" until just a few days before our first test flight on the NASA C-130. Figure 8 is a photo of the data system after packaging. Figure 7 shows the internal organization of the data system as viewed from the top rear. The enclosure is reversed from most rack mounts. We wanted to have ready access to the computer card connections without having to remove the rear rack cover. The only connections on the rear are for the GPS receivers and the battery charger. The black power supply under the data system in Figure 8 is our prime power supply/battery charger.
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.

As Romney rolls out a kinder, gentler image, it's worth considering the press role in strengthening the impact of his debate win.
Two weeks ago, when I asked what the elements of the "new" Mitt Romney would be once the inevitable "Mitt Romney comeback" narrative took shape, I singled out "previously undiscovered sense of humor" as one candidate. But, now that the comeback narrative has taken shape big time, it turns out that Mitt's newfound wit is only a small part of the package.
Last week's debate, the New York Times reported this weekend, gave Romney's campaign aides the Romney they "had longed to see all year: funny (joking about the "romantic" evening he and Mr. Obama were spending on the president's 20th wedding anniversary), commanding (challenging Mr. Obama on taxes and government spending) and even warm (placing his right hand over his heart at the end of the debate, in an homage to his supporters in the crowd)."
Of these three ingredients -- funny, strong, sensitive -- it looks like "sensitive" is getting the biggest rollout. The Times: "[H]is campaign seemed determined not to let that more emotive, three-dimensional Mitt Romney slip away. Before the crowd of several thousand, Mr. Romney shared stories of friends who had died." (No word from the White House yet on whether President Obama has any dead friends he can talk about.)
The Washington Post concurs. In a piece billed on its home page with the headline, "At long last, the softer side of Romney," it reported that "he has calculated that to win the presidency he must do what for years he has been loath to: share intimate stories about his life." Yes, if you're on videotape coldly dismissing 47 percent of Americans as beyond your concern, there's a case to be made for casting aside your shyness and revealing that you're not the kind of person who would say something like that.
One thing I wonder is whether this meta-narrative -- that is, backstage coverage of Romney's attempt to shape the narrative, as we see here in the Times and Post and have seen increasingly in the media over the last few decades -- undermines the narrative itself. Does writing about the framing make the frame seem too plastic to be convincing?
Hard to say, but I'm more and more convinced that at one key moment the media coverage was aiding, not undermining Romney: It was the 24 hours after the debate that launched the new Romney narrative. In fact, more evidence of this effect has accumulated over the past few days.
We had already seen tentative evidence that the importance of the debate lay not so much in its direct impact on viewers as in the subsequent impact of the media's framing of the debate; as I noted a few days ago, a Google poll found that viewers who watched the debate were less inclined to deem Romney the winner if polled during the debate than if polled right after the debate, once the media consensus had taken a full nano-second to congeal. And you would expect the media's importance to only grow when you include people who didn't watch the debate at all, and relied wholly on the subsequent framing of it, which they probably would have encountered sometime the next day or the next evening. Evidence of this effect naturally took longer to accumulate, but there's now a bit of it. Nate Silver of the New York Times wrote on Saturday:
In a poll of about 500 voters that Ipsos conducted immediately after the debate, late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning, Mr. Obama still led by five points. However, Mr. Obama's lead was just two points in a poll Ipsos released Friday, which included interviews from Monday night (before the debate) through Friday morning.... It may have been that Mr. Obama's problems were growing worse throughout the day on Thursday as criticism of his debate performance was amplified.
That would also explain the otherwise odd numbers from the Rasmussen poll. Because Rasmussen is a multiday tracking poll, and doesn't release each individual day's results, the significance of the number it reports each day is always a bit opaque. Still, because Rasmussen is only a three-day tracking poll, that new number is pretty heavily influenced by the latest day's polling. Yet the Rasmussen poll didn't budge after polling on Thursday, the day after the debate. After Friday's polling, though, the Rasmussen number suddenly swung four points. This is consistent with a scenario in which most people who didn't watch the debate only felt its impact on Thursday -- and perhaps while watching the evening news or even the Daily Show, long after the Rasmussen robo-caller started contacting people -- so only Friday's polling fully captured the effect of the media verdict that Romney wiped the floor with Obama.

FleetCor Announces Acquisitions In Brazil
FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FLT), a leading global provider of fuel cards and workforce payment products to businesses, announced today that on August 9, 2013, it had acquired VB Servicos, Comercio e Administracao LTDA ("VB") a leading provider of transportation cards and vouchers in Brazil, and on August 26, 2013, FleetCor had entered into an agreement to acquire DB Trans S.A. ("DB"), a leading provider of payment solutions for independent truckers in Brazil. In addition, FleetCor has signed on September 5, 2013 a marketing agreement with Good Card, a leading Brazilian fuel card network operator, to issue fuel cards which operate in Good Card's network of accepting merchants in Brazil. FleetCor's acquisition of DB is expected to close during the third quarter of 2013 subject to customary conditions.
In total, FleetCor expects to invest over $300 million in these two acquisitions, which will be financed using a combination of existing cash and borrowings under FleetCor's revolving credit facility.
"Consistent with our previously disclosed strategy, we have sought attractive growth opportunities in the Brazilian market," said Ron Clarke, FleetCor's Chairman and chief executive officer. "We are pleased to position our Company to offer a full-line of transportation, food, and fuel card products for the employer market in Brazil."
VB is a leading provider of transportation cards (or vale transporte) in Brazil where employers are required by legislation to provide certain employees with prepaid public transportation cards to subsidize their commuting expenses. VB is a market-leader in this space serving over 35,000 business clients, approximately one million employees, and supporting approximately 800 transportation agencies across the country. VB also markets food cards through an agreement with Edenred.DB is a leading provider of prepaid toll, fuel, and payroll card programs for transportation companies in Brazil. Charles Freund, FleetCor's president of emerging markets, commented, "We expect this acquisition to significantly expand our product offering to the Brazilian transportation segment."

DHL Global Forwarding this week launched a less-than-container load service between Italy and Kuwait, as the German carrier adds ocean connections to its growing Middle East hub.
DHL said the service will improve security and the transit time on the lane from 32 to 27 days by avoiding transshipment at Dubai.
Many third-party logistics providers, including CEVA and Panalpina, in recent months have boosted their LCL services in response to shippers send out smaller shipment amid economic uncertainty. DHL said its forwarding division offer roughly 45,000 LCL options and ships nearly 6.6 million cubic square feet of consolidated loads annually.
Rising demand from Kuwait for Italian imports, such as mechanical machinery, construction materials, apparel, food and consumer goods, spurred the creation of the new service, said Thomas Nieszner, CEO for DHL Global Forwarding, Europe, Middle East and Africa.
"Demand for these products is set to rise further as Kuwait continues to emerge as a key player in the region and, as a result, we expect the improved transit times from Italy to have a real and immediate impact on our customers in Kuwait," Neiszner said.

Who'd have thought a two-minute teaser trailer could reveal so much? PSW dissects every frame for clues you might have missed...
Yes, it's likely you'll be fighting on your own doorstep as the Russians try to turn the world against America. The high-rise buildings, electricity wires and bus all suggest an urban, almost residential feel, but it's the shop advertising 'Sports' goods to the left of the bus that gives it all away.
It's a possibility. England is famous for its forts and castles, and the teaser definitely shows a tower of some sort, although the antenna behind it and the street lamps in front of it are a bit confusing. Britain's involvement ties in with the idea that the Russians are trying to turn countries against one another and start a global war.
Mile High Club
The bonus level in Modern Warfare ties in with the events in the teaser, and perhaps it may even make a comeback along with characters such as Soap and possibly Gaz depending on whether you believed he survived. The teaser shows the inside of a plane, a parachutist, and the remains of a plane cut in half.
Rio de janeiro, Brazil
Eagle eyes can pick out the open-armed Christ the Redeemer on a mountain-top, which overlooks Rio. As if you needed any confirmation, the buildings in the bottom-left hand corner of the second screen are typical of Brazil's or Ecuador's favelas. The narrow streets, sharp inclines and rooftop access in a typical favela should make for an swesome single-player and multiplayer map.
The arrow on the right appears to be part of the environment, leaving us with four perks to mull over. From left to right, the first is the old Stopping Power perk, which increases a bullet's damage by 40%. The next is a winged foot, which could mean either a speed boost, a jump boost or a modified Extreme Conditioning icon. The third may be a reworked Overkill icon, or a perk that combats a knife attack. The fourth perk is contentious, with suggestions ranging from a supply drop (most likely) to a revised Revive perk from World At War.
The Russian airport sign translates to 'Security Checkpoint'. Also, just after the sound of the bag unzipping, one man says in Russian: "God is with us". A second man then says: "Remember, no Russian". It's likely the Russians are trying to disguise their identities in order to blame the airport massacre on another country. The Russian voice at the end of the teaser quotes Lenin when he says: "A revolution is not possible without a revolutionary situation".
Plenty of clues for this one: there's the snowy map terrain along with a snowplough making tracks, a soldier who seems to be wearing mountaineering gear trying to ascend a rocky face, and a close-up view of the snowplough with a pine tree to the right of it. How do we know there's a mission set in Siberia though? The HD version of the trailer given to us by Activision was called Siberia. Simple, really.
There's little dialogue in the teaser, but the first thing we hear is a loudspeaker announcement in Japanese that sounds very similar to that which is used on the Japanese underground system.
The Ocean
The teaser is full of naval references suggesting the sequel will go way beyond Modern Warfare's heavily scripted sinking boat level. The two scuba divers mean there's a mission set underwater, perhaps tied in with the submarine that we see in another screen, or the wreckage of the aircraft that appears to be underwater. We'll probably get to play as Navy SEALs, perhaps storming that pictured oil rig after swimming underwater to it to remain undetected.

And I tell you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. – Matthew 16:18
* * * * *
To send light into the darkness of men's hearts—such is the duty of the artist. –Schumann
* * * * *
It's good that we know how things turn out in the end. Having read the last page—and knowing that God is victorious in the end—helps to take the edge off our cynicism and disappointment when yet another buffoon maligns our faith.
Maybe you've guessed that I'm talking about the "Persona Non Grata—The Veil of History" exhibit, which opens February 5 at Toronto's Bezpala Brown Gallery. The artist, Peter Alexander Por, is just the latest in a line of "avant garde" artists whose tasteless work intends to offend: Andres Serrano's "Piss Christ" featuring a plastic crucifix in a vat of urine; a painting of Benedict XVI surrounded by swastikas in Florida's Broward Museum; "The Misadventures of Roman Cannibals," Enrique Chagoya's pornographic work depicting Jesus in a lewd act, which was destroyed by a distraught woman with a crowbar.
Por's art is unique in that it's not a single work which is deserving of scorn—rather, it seems, his entire collection of 30 canvases and four sculptures is worthy of the trash dumpster. Paramount among this depraved collection are a painting of Pope Benedict which has been riddled with bullets, in protest of the Catholic Church's "archaic policies," and a depiction of the "crucifixion of Obama" casting the current U.S. president, according to the gallery, as "a victim, crucified in the wake of special and distorted interests." Other canvases provide a negative portrayal of historic figures including Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mussolini, and Pope Innocent III.
Sorry, but I am not including any of these controversial pictures here—instead, I'm posting Michelangelo's "Creation of Adam" fresco from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. You may see the offending works—in the news or, depending on how important it is to you, on the websites of the galleries involved—but I sure won't help to spread the loathing by showcasing them.
You see, I believe that art is a powerful expression of the ineffable. A beautiful painting can touch our very souls, strengthen our beliefs, join us in a common appreciation of the world in which we live. Art helps us to hope, to grow, to love, to dream.
To subjugate these noble purposes under the crushing weight of radical anti-Catholicism or homosexual depravity is to deny our dignity as creatures made in the image of a great and loving God.

NATO specialists recently advised Ukraine on the safety of its atomic reactors, amid concerns about spreading instability in the country, Reuters reported.
A team of alliance civilian experts traveled to the country in April at Kiev's request to provide recommendations on options for enhancing protections around key infrastructure sites such as nuclear plants and gas pipelines, the news service reported on Wednesday.
Some independent analysts have voiced concern about the potential for a nuclear plant meltdown occurring if the electricity that powers reactors' cooling systems is cut off or plant personnel flee their posts due to nearby fighting in the country.
"In any country, in any situation, there are plans and additional measures to protect infrastructure objects," Ukrainian Ambassador to NATO Ihor Dolhov said in an interview. "So the purpose was to evaluate the performance of measures which are being implemented in Ukraine to protect such objects."
Fears of "possible destabilization" in areas where key energy sites are located prompted Kiev to seek the expert advice, the diplomat acknowledged.
There are 15 active atomic energy plants in Ukraine, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
In addition to hosting numerous nuclear sites, Ukraine also is home to a number of defense factories that supply strategic missile components to Russia, Bloomberg Businessweek reported on Wednesday.
Over half of Russia's nuclear base was constructed in Ukraine or relies on navigation technology produced by Ukraine, said Serhiy Zgurets, a Ukraine defense industry expert.
Were arms shipments and contracts to service Russian long-range missiles halted, there would be very real impacts for some Russian weapon systems, suggested Siemon Wezeman, a senior researcher for the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.

Campaign themes
Hewlett's campaign website listed the following issues:[2]
- Grow America's economy and spur new job growth.
- Excerpt: "I've spent the last 28 years in the private sector building and growing small businesses— a skill set that's desperately needed in Washington. I'll use my experience to ensure our federal government operates more like a business and much less like a bureaucracy."
- Our economy also is hindered by a federal tax code that is in desperate need of reform.
- Excerpt: "It's unfair, inefficient and complex, as well as a burden on many small businesses. And with almost half the population not paying taxes, it places an unfair burden on those of us who do."
- Cut wasteful spending to reduce our national debt.
- Excerpt: "More national debt has been accumulated during President Barack Obama's administration than the other 43 presidents combined, with a jaw-dropping $3 million added every minute."
- Put an end to ObamaCare.
- Excerpt: "When President Obama's national heath care scheme was signed into law, the program's cost was expected to be approximately $940 billion. Today, the Congressional Budget Office estimates that the cost is actually somewhere around $1.76 trillion."
- Oppose any tax increase on working families.
- Excerpt: "For far too long, hardworking families in Central Texas have subsidized the free-spending ways of Washington. I'm committed to making sure the federal government doesn't take any more from your pockets than it already does."
Hewlett ran in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Texas' 25th District. He was defeated by Wes Riddle and Roger Williams in the Republican primary on May 29, 2012.[3][4]

FAA subpoenas real estate firms that use drones
NEW YORK CITY – July 2, 2014 – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has the real estate industry in its crosshairs, as it begins to come down on the growing popularity of unlawful drone use for taking listing photos and videos.
The FAA has already targeted several brokerages in New York City that use drones, slapping them with subpoenas in a widespread move to learn more about how real estate professionals use the technology to advance their businesses.
This is the FAA's interpretation of lawful model aircraft use.
The FAA does not condone the use of drones for commercial purposes but is expected to reveal proposed rules for such use next year. For now, practitioners who use drones for their business can be fined – and that's exactly what will happen to a handful of NYC's largest brokerages if they don't stop their drone use immediately, FAA sources told the New York Post.
"It has completely blown up. We're getting [subpoenas] all over the city and the Hamptons, and they're just going to general counsel," a source with New York-based Halstead Property told the Post. "It was a total shock."
Several other NYC real estate firms have been subpoenaed as well, including Time Equities and Alchemy Property.
"We have a mandate to protect the American public in the air and on the ground, and the public expects us to carry out the mission," FAA administrator Michael Huerta wrote in a memo, according to the Post.
It speaks to the risk real estate professionals take when using drones for their listings. The National Association of Realtors® has long warned that practitioners should steer clear of using drones for their business until the FAA releases solid rules on such use, which is expected by September 2015.

Deloitte Commits $60 Million In Pro Bono Services To Nonprofit Organizations
NEW YORK, April 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- At the White House Forum on Women and the Economy, Deloitte LLP CEO Joe Echevarria today announced Deloitte's commitment to provide $60 million in pro bono services to nonprofit organizations over a three-year period (FY2012-2014). This pledge brings the organization's total investment to more than $100 million.
Deloitte, the largest professional services organization in the U.S., is investing the time and talent of its personnel to strengthen communities across the country.
"Deloitte has built its brand of leading the profession in two ways: through inspiring trust and confidence as we protect the investing public, and by helping companies address their most complex business challenges," said Joe Echevarria, CEO of Deloitte LLP. "We believe one of the best ways to create positive social change and help make America stronger is to do what we do best every day. Our aim is to provide these same quality services and intellectual capital to help nonprofits run more efficiently and effectively."
Echevarria added: "In addition to doing this work ourselves, we're proud to help lead Billion + Change, which is compelling other businesses to make pro bono work part of their philanthropic portfolios. This work achieves a double bottom line by adding value to our communities and our business."Today's pledge builds on the organization's prior $50 million commitment, which was completed in 2011 and resulted in more than 300 pro bono engagements that reached over 250 nonprofits. For example, Deloitte has provided nonprofits such as Girl Scouts, Dress for Success, Professional Business Women of California, YWCA and Women's Initiative with assistance on projects such as strategic planning, tax structuring and exemption support, risk assessment, anti-fraud consulting, IT security, financial controls, human capital strategy and management, governance and risk oversight, and capital projects consulting. "As human capital replaces natural resources as the basis for growth in the knowledge economy, talent is rising as a dominant business issue," Echevarria added. "As a growing force in the talent pool—one that absolutely cannot be understated—women play a critical role in economic growth and competitiveness."

Sacramento, CA (Sports Network) - Deron Williams erupted for 34 points, and his layup with 20 seconds remaining broke a tie game, as the Utah Jazz escaped ARCO Arena with a 111-107 victory, spoiling Sacramento's celebration of ex- Kings forward Chris Webber.
Mehmet Okur poured in 28 points and 11 rebounds for Utah, which has rattled off three straight wins. Ronnie Brewer added 16 points, while Matt Harpring chipped in 14 points and eight boards in the win.
"(Williams) made some great plays, obviously they don't want to foul you," Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan said. "He was able to get on of the basket and was terrific. That's winning the ball game."
Kevin Martin finished with 37 points but couldn't come up with the big basket down the stretch, as Sacramento lost for the 10th time in 11 games. Bobby Jackson logged 15 points, and John Salmons filled the stat sheet with 12 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in the loss.
"I feel confident that if we get a shot or get to the free throw, we have a chance to win the game," Jackson said. "It wasn't our night, and all we can do is continue to play that type of basketball every night. If we play like type of way and lose, I'm happy."
Holding a one-point lead in a tight fourth quarter, Williams was credited with a questionable continuation bucket in the lane, and his free throw gave the Jazz a 99-95 lead with under four minutes remaining. Another three-point play by Williams two possessions later made it a five-point game, 102-97.
Martin single-handedly brought the Kings back by hitting a free throw and nailing a three-pointer at the two-minute mark. His two free throws after an Okur miss gave the hosts a 103-102 lead with 1:25 showing on the clock.
After a Williams reverse layup rimmed out, Martin again got to the bucket for an easy two. On the ensuing possession, however, Okur was left open on the left wing and swished a tying three-pointer with 48 seconds remaining.
The Kings gave the ball to their hot hand on their next touch, but Martin was whistled for an offensive foul. Williams, who took the charge, cruised into the lane at the other end for the go-ahead bucket with 20 ticks left.
Again Martin was called upon to deliver, but his forced leaner trying to draw a foul on Okur fell off the mark. Kyle Korver, who finished with 11 points, sunk two free throws to polish off the hard-fought win.
Sacramento trailed 28-25 after 12 minutes of action but moved ahead, 55-45, at the break, which featured a long-winded ceremony to retire Webber's No. 4 jersey.
The Kings' 10-point halftime lead was erased in a back-and-forth third quarter, which ended with Utah holding an 80-77 advantage.
