You are hereMiller Responds to False Claim Regarding Santorum Language Significance
At the March 11, 2002, panel discussion on evolution in front of the Ohio Board of Education, the Discovery Institute's Stephen Meyer claimed that encouragement to teach alternatives to evolution was part of the recently signed No Child Left Behind Act. Brown University biologist Kenneth R. Miller responded by using his computer to search the text of the law for the word "evolution" - unsuccessfully. Now anti-evolutionists are claiming that there is such language in the law and that Miller was being intentionally misleading.
Sen. Kennedy Says Intelligent Design Not Science
In response to Senator Rick Santorum's March 14 op-ed piece in the Washington Times, which implied that Senator Edward Kennedy approved of teaching "intelligent design" in public school science classes, Kennedy explained in a March 21, 2002, letter to the Times that he does not; "intelligent design," he said, "is not a genuine scientific theory." The complete text of his letter:
Ohio's Draft Standards Earn an A from National Science Standards Expert

March 11, Oakland, California — Ohio's science education will improve from an F grade to an A if the new proposed statewide science standards are accepted as is, according to Dr. Lawrence Lerner, a nationally recognized expert on state science standards.

House of Contamination Shows New Application of Green Design: Trash as Building Material
While it may look like something that a bunch of homeless architects cobbled together, this massive garbage "village" is actually an art piece at this year's Artissima International Art Fair. Conceived by raumlabor, the House of Contamination is made of used clothes, electronics, crumpled paper and all kinds of other trash that were intercepted from the recycling process and taken to be used as main building element. Even the furniture has been constructed of obsolete appliances.

Parents Quotes and Sayings
A good father is a source of inspiration and self-restraint. A good mother is the root of kindness and humbleness.
– Dr T.P.Chia
Apparent. A word that does not make sense until you become one.
Your child will follow your example, not your advice.
You spend years wishing your parents would get off your back, only to realize they're the only ones who ever really had your back.
Love your parents and treat them with loving care. For you will only know their value when you see their empty chair.
Love your parents. We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old.
If you think that being a great parent requires a limitless amount of patience, you are wrong. You need more than that.
Even though you may have failed as a wife/husband, just don't fail as a mother/father.
My feeling of responsibility for the safety and well-being of my children is so strong, that should an asteroid threaten to wipe out all life on earth, I would still hold myself responsible for their fate.

Getting organized always tops the list for one of the most popular New Year's resolutions. So, why not make 2013 the year to tidy up?
TCW chats with Ashley Murphy and Molly Graves, co-founders of NEAT Method, a company that specializes in professional organization.
How did NEAT Method get started? We met while shopping in San Francisco. Over a cup of coffee, we quickly learned that we not only shared a hometown of Chicago, but also an obsession with organizing. We realized there was a real need for a fresh and innovative take on organizing one's home. Hence, the NEAT Method was developed.
If your living space is unorganized, where do you start? Hands down, the kitchen. Even if you aren't making gourmet meals you're probably making multiple stops in your kitchen each day. We find that life's daily routines become a lot easier just from an organized kitchen and will often carry into other rooms of your home.
Share a few easy tips. First, identify the areas of your home that bring you the most anxiety due to disorder. Purge items you no longer use or have multiples of. Then, categorize everything and place it in groups so you're able to see everything you have. Likely if you can't see it, you aren't using it and more than likely can donate or consign it.
How do you motivate people to get organized? We often encourage people that they will live a healthier life just by organizing their home. They'll be more inclined to eat healthier, exercise more and even shop less. Since their closets look so beautiful they can actually see that they don't need another black blazer to go with the five that are currently hanging.

Upcoming Course Dates & Locations: View Schedule
Type of Course: Classroom
It is imperative that companies deploy valuable security techniques to combat threats to Windows, the most common network operating system used throughout the world. As a security professional, you will learn from a hacker's perspective how architectural vulnerabilities are assessed and how to deploy effective countermeasures.
The Ultimate Hacking: Windows Security course from Foundstone utilizes the latest commercial and freeware programs to simulate breaches and responses, allowing you to add these tools and techniques to your network security arsenal.
This course will give you the ultimate comparison of classic Windows attacks directed at Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 networks. Using the unique Foundstone hands-on approach and an innovative parallel learning technique, you will execute all demonstrations, labs, and techniques against Windows 2000 servers and Windows 2003 servers in parallel. Windows XP will be your attack platform.
Ever wondered how Microsoft addressed the null session enumeration problem in Windows 2003 and what exactly it looks like? Do L0phtcrack and John the Ripper still crack Windows 2003 passwords? Can you sniff login credentials between XP Professional and Windows 2003 servers, even with Kerberos? How does Internet Connection Firewall work and what are its limitations? Get the answers to these and many other Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 questions in a hands-on environment with the experts from Foundstone.
Because Windows is increasingly deployed in corporate computing architectures, these network operating systems come with a distinct set of security issues and vulnerabilities. This course gives participants both the raw knowledge and the hands-on experience to secure these systems within their organizations.
Uniquely qualified to present this material, Foundstone's management team and training staff have performed hundreds of security assessments for Fortune 500 companies. These expert instructors have exceptional professional backgrounds, including experience at Big Five consulting firms, government agencies, the Air Force Information Warfare Center, and on Wall Street. Members of the instructor team authored the best-selling "Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets & Solutions" and write a weekly column for InfoWorld magazine. They are also invited speakers at industry conferences such as Interop, USENIX, RSA, and the Black Hat Briefings.
This course is for system and network administrators, security personnel, auditors, and consultants concerned with Windows security. Basic Windows 2000 competency is required for this course to be fully beneficial.
This course qualifies for up to 24 hours of continuing professional education (CPE) credits for Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP)/Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP), and 21 hours of CPE credits for Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA)/Certified Information Security Manager (CISM) holders.

Here's the plan: Wake up, put on your swimsuit, grab a towel and hit the water to raise money for the Special Olympics in Gaston County. Did I mention it takes place March 16? That's probably why it's being billed as the Gaston County Polar Plunge.
The benefit will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at 146 Eighth Ave., Cramerton, behind the Cramerton Fire Department.
You can sign up as part of a team of six people for $100 or $20 per person.
The school with the most participants will take home the Polar Bear Trophy and there will be a trophy for the winning police department participating in the Gaston County Law Enforcement Challenge.
The event will feature door prizes and hot chocolate will be served.
Participants will park at the Community Center, located at 1 Julian Street, and ride a shuttle to the plunge area.
The event is open to ages 14 and up.
Water shoes are required and no wet suits or dry suits are allowed. Bring your own towel.
You can register online at www.firstgiving.com/sonc or in person on the day of the plunge.
Speaking of fundraisers, mark April 5 on your calendar. That's when the Gaston County Cancer Services Faces of Hope Party takes place.
The event, from 7 to 11 p.m., will be held at the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden, 6500 S. New Hope Road, Belmont.
Tickets cost $50 and include food and drink, live music by Caleb Davis and the unveiling of the 2013 Faces of Hope.
Raffle tickets will be sold for the chance to win an Apple iPad, $250 cash and a 42-inch TV. There will also be a special Champagne Game for the chance to win a $1,500 diamond necklace.
Proceeds from the event will benefit Gaston County residents living with cancer. The mission of Cancer Services is to serve the community by actively promoting healthy lifestyles and to provide support and services needed by people living with cancer. Cancer Services, formerly Gaston County Cancer Society, is a local United Way Agency established in 1977 and is not affiliated with any other national organization.
You can order tickets by calling 704-864-1271 or stopping by Cancer Services, 306 S. Columbia St., Gastonia.
And here's another annual fundraiser to share – Lutheran Chapel Church men's group holds its annual pine needle sale March 5-19.
The cost is $4.75 per bale and you can get it delivered free if you order 12 bales or more. Just call 704-864-6491 to place an order or stop by the church, located at 702 N. New Hope Road, Gastonia.
The men hold this event every year to raise money to support youth program and other ministries of the church.
If your church or community group is holding a benefit that you'd like to share with other readers, email me the information at firstname.lastname@example.com or FAX it to 704-867-5751.
It's that time of year when teams are busy raising money for Relay for Life. A yard sale and hot dog sale starts at 7 a.m. Saturday at Plainview Baptist Church, on the Dallas-High Shoals Highway. The event will be held in the fellowship hall. The church is located on the right, just before the Barn Yard Flea Market. You can get more information by calling 704-865-4281.

The Guild ends season 6 with a sweet farewell
Unlike previous season finales, this one seems to have a note of finality to it. No cliffhangers for the next season, just a fond and heartfelt farewell from Codex, who seems to have finally figured out her life. Is this the end of The Guild? There's been no final word on that as of yet. But the series, launched all the way back in 2007, has become a beloved fixture in and of itself over the years. If this is indeed the end, it will be missed.
Season 6 of The Guild has been running on Geek and Sundry, Felicia Day's premium YouTube channel that hosts a variety of geek-themed programming. You can catch up on all of the episodes from this season on Geek and Sundry's official playlist for season six.

Brady should get fined for that, but will the NFL fine their golden boy? Probably not. It'll be the Ravens who might be fined for yesterday's game, but they'll gladly take the fines for the spot in Superbowl.

you know that 07 patriot team couldve easily lost that championship game to the chargers. brady had a very off day throwing three interceptions. your defense actually bailed you out of that game. the chargers got near the endzone a few times in that game but werent able to punch in any touchdowns and had to keep kicking field goals.

Vickroy: Purple Heart recipients share stories of their wars
By Donna Vickroy email@example.com Twitter: @dvickroy November 9, 2012 7:46PM
Danielle Green-Byrd, who was injured while serving in Iraq, at the Orland Park Vet Center. She was a star basketball player for Notre Dame and now wears a prosthetic left lower-arm and hand after being injured. | Matt Marton~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: December 12, 2012 6:06AM
"All gave some — some gave all."
The Purple Heart is considered the nation's oldest military medal of honor. It was created in 1782 by Gen. George Washington as a means of honoring those who fought bravely and gave dearly for their country.
Back then, it was customary in Europe that only high-ranking officers who had achieved victory were honored. Washington believed that common U.S. soldiers who were injured or killed in the line of duty deserved the same glory.
The first soldiers to receive the medal, originally called "the badge of military merit," were three sergeants who were injured during the Revolutionary War. Since then, an estimated 1.7 million Americans have been issued a Purple Heart.
On this Veterans Day, we honor all by sharing the stories of three of them.
Danielle Green-Byrd was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade in Iraq, Bill Conner was blasted with shrapnel in Vietnam. Frank Bilo had a trench implode on him during the Korean War.
All three soldiers are bonded by their membership in the Purple Heart club. It's not something any soldier aspires to, but it is an honor each holds dear.
At age 7, Danielle Green-Byrd made up her mind to do two things in life: attend the University of Notre Dame and serve in the military.
"My mom was a substance abuser," said Green-Byrd, who grew up in Chicago's inner-city and now lives on the South Side.
There was no money, and most laughed at her lofty dreams.
"Indirectly," she said, "my mom's problems inspired me to work hard at school, to get a ticket out."
In 1995, she headed off to her dream school in South Bend, Ind., on basketball and academic scholarships. While there, she averaged 9.5 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. She also earned a degree in psychology.
After graduation in 1999, she landed a teaching job for the Chicago International Charter School.
In 2002, at age 25, she made a decision to act on her other dream. She'd been a member of Reserve Officers Training Corps at Roosevelt High School and had devoted much of her time in college to researching the various military branches. Finally, she decided to enlist in the U.S. Army.
She was deployed to Iraq in January, 2004. Two months into her deployment, she returned to Chicago to marry Willie Byrd.
She had been back in Iraq for only seven weeks when her world was turned upside down.
She recalled that May 25 was an especially steamy day in Baghdad.
"I had this eerie feeling all day," she said. "It was 115 degrees and my stomach was cramping."
After a long morning of riot training, she and her comrades figured they were done for the day. But that afternoon, they were sent on a mission to check out a local police station.
They'd gone on the same mission many times before. Each time they arrived at the station, they had been greeted by children and local police. On this day, however, the place was abandoned but for the prisoners, she said.
"It was very suspicious, but as an E4, I just did as I was told," she said.
The soldiers took turns doing surveillance duty on the roof. As she walked near the front of the building, two rocket grenades exploded nearby. She grabbed her M4 rifle and took cover.
"I was in a kneeling position, about to turn the lever from safety to fire, when something hit me," she said.
Her ears ringing, her body numb, she remembers being really angry.
"Then the numbness wore off," she said. The pain was unbearable. Her left arm below the elbow was blown off. Most of the muscle in her upper arm was gone, too. Her left leg was busted open.
"I remember waiting to die, praying to God, saying, 'I'm only 27 years old, please give me the opportunity to live to tell my story,' " she said.
Suddenly, her sergeant appeared over her.
"I still remember his greenish-blue eyes growing large as he looked at me," she said. Another sergeant tied a tourniquet around her upper arm. The men carried her back down the stairs of the station.
When she got to the bottom, there were police officers standing there.
"I remember thinking, 'This was a total setup,' " she said.
She was loaded onto a helicopter.
"Last thing I remember, they were cutting off my uniform as we were flying over the Tiber River to the green zone," she said. "When I woke up I thought I was in heaven because I was all in white and there were all these people standing around me."
Then she realized she was in a hospital, and that her arm was missing.
Right then and there, her command sergeant presented her with the Purple Heart.
Her master sergeant told her that two sergeants in her unit defied orders and went in search of the missing limb. They found it under 7 inches of sand and retrieved her wedding rings.
After recovering for eight months at Walter Reed Hospital, she was medically discharged in December 2004.
She since has earned two master's degrees, worked for a time as a high school counselor and now works for the Department of Veterans Affairs in an Orland Park office as a readjustment counselor for soldiers dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder.
She has also learned a new sport: golf.
"I love it. It allows me to feel whole and to compete against able-bodied people," she said.
Sadly, her husband died last year from pneumonia and sepsis.
It took Green-Byrd seven years to join a local chapter of the Purple Hearts. Now she's a regular at the monthly meetings in Oak Lawn.
"The Purple Heart symbolizes courage and sacrifice," she said. "It is not something you want but it is definitely one of the highest honors."
Still, she added, "I would give anything to have my left arm back. No amount of medals can replace that."
Bill Conner's unit was on high alert the day he got hit. It was July 1967, and the soldiers from the Army's 1st Cavalry Division were just three miles from the Cambodian border, on Black Virgin Mountain.
Their mission was to break Viet Cong supply runs.
The night before he was hit, his unit was "probed," which meant the enemy had tripped the flares the Americans had set up around the perimeter of their location.
"They knew where we were," Conner said.
A gunner, Conner knew they were targeting him. He was standing in his foxhole, both hands on a shoulder-high berm, when a mortar round missed by about 10 inches. Several men were hit with shrapnel, Conner included.
"I didn't know I was injured at first; there were bleeding guys all around me," he said. An officer sent him to fetch a medic.
The medic was too scared to follow the Army infantryman back to his position, which still was under fire. Finally, another officer's gun to his head, the medic relented and followed Conner back to the injured comrades.
When he'd finished treating the others, the medic said to Conner, "Look, you're bleeding."
Conner had taken shrapnel to both hands.
"I was tagged and sent for treatment," he said.
They removed the metal, sewed him up, and a few days later, sent him back to the front lines.
"I could still fire a gun," he said.
His injuries, which earned him the Purple Heart, were painful but nothing compared with the emotional pain of later having to identify the body of a buddy.
To this day, Conner, 63, struggles with post-traumatic stress.
"It was just chaos over there," said Conner, now commander of Bremen VFW Post 2791 in Tinley Park. "It was jungle warfare. You never saw the enemy, you had to look for the flash of their guns."
A Purple Heart is not something anybody wants, he said. But it is nice to be recognized for shedding blood for your country.
Conner, who grew up in Chicago's Roseland community, moved to Tinley in 1982. He is also a recipient of the Air Medal.
Conner's son, Sean, also is a Purple Heart recipient. Sean Conner, still serving in the Army, was injured in Iraq when a mortar round landed 10 feet from him and sprayed his backside and leg with shrapnel. He is stationed at Fort Polk, La., with plans to retire next year.
The war in Korea was winding down when Frank Bilo suffered his injury.
"We were near Pork Chop Hill," he said. The Army soldiers were in a bunker below the crest of a hill, "under furious attack," he said.
Bilo, a forward observer, was the "eyes" of the unit — the person in charge of calling in weapons and directing fire. That also meant he was a target of the North Koreans.
"They had jammed our radar and knocked out our communication lines," he said. "We were helpless."
Determined to re-establish radio lines, Bilo grabbed a doughnut of wire and ran down the mountain through trenches, unrolling wire as he went.
He was making his way through a trench when a shell exploded near his head, blasting dirt and debris on top of him.
Nearly buried alive, Bilo was knocked out. Medics later loaded him onto a truck and brought him to a field hospital, where a concussion was diagnosed.
Bilo was shipped to Osaka, Japan, where he recovered for 30 days. He suffered ringing in his ears for a long time after.
By the time he was shipped back to his outfit, at the rank of staff sergeant, the war was over.
During his hospitalization, he was invited to a special meeting to receive his Purple Heart.
"I didn't go," he said. "Because all around me were guys with missing limbs, guys much worse off than me."
Years later, Bilo sent for the medal.
Bilo grew up in Chicago's Bridgeport community. He attended Tilden Tech and was apprenticing to be a pressman when he was drafted at 19.
After the war, he returned to the Chicago area, worked as a pressman for the Chicago Sun-Times and as a salesman for Volkswagen.
He and his wife, Angie, live in Burbank. He has three sons and several grandchildren.
His 9-year-old grandson, Luke, is so enthralled with the medal that he asked his grandmother if she could order one for him, too.
In May 2011, Bilo and his wife were invited back to South Korea on a veterans revisit excursion.
"It was fantastic, very interesting," he said. About 125 vets spent five days touring various points of interest, including Panmunjom, where the armistice was signed.
"I had the honor of putting a wreath on the grave of a fallen soldier," he said.

Besides the annual bleed and the occasional new pads & rotors, what do you guys do about disc brake maintenance? I never heard that there was anything to do, but I'm not getting the performance that I want from my Shimano XTs a few months after changing pads/rotors.
I was talking to somebody that said to run steel wool through the pads and wipe the rotors down with alcohol after every other ride. What should I be doing?

I'm from the Phoenix, AZ area.

Transportation in Sydney
Hail one of Sydney's abundant taxis off the street or at taxi ranks at Circular Quay, Wynyard Station and Central Station. Prices are fixed and signposted and cabs can be booked ahead by phone.
Explore Sydney's eastern suburbs by bus, as there is only one train line in the area linking the city centre and Bondi Junction. Tickets are sold by sections. If you're unsure, opt for the DayTripper and BusTripper tickets.
Rent your car
In Sydney traffic travels on the left and most cars are therefore right-hand drive. Sydney Harbour Bridge is a cashless toll bridge, so visitors need to buy a toll pass beforehand (see www.rta.nsw.gov.au). Most parking meters take coin, credit card and even mobile-phone payments, and rates vary according to time and location.
Transportation tips
Opt for the DayTripper and BusTripper tickets, which provide unlimited travel for a day. The DayTripper ticket covers all regular Sydney bus and ferry services as well as all suburban City Rail services.

Updated: December 1, 2012 8:12PM
Time: Noon Sunday at Soldier Field.
TV: Fox-32 (Chris Myers, Tim Ryan).
Radio: 780-AM, 105.9-FM.
Line: Bears by 3 1/2.
Total: 37 1/2.
On the ground
With a patchwork offensive line expected to include new starters at LG (Edwin Williams) and RG (Gabe Carimi), the Bears should be even more committed to establishing a run game and then have a fighting chance. The Seahawks allowed 70 rushing yards per game in the first six games but have allowed 155 per game in their last five — including 189 by a very average Dolphins run game last week. Matt Forte, expected to start despite an ankle injury, and Michael Bush are just waiting for the chance to carry the load. But no matter how hard the Bears try, it always seems to come back to Jay Cutler.
In the air
The Bears will have to tread lightly against a Seahawks defense that sacked the Packers' Aaron Rodgers eight times in the first half on Sept. 24. Offensive coordinator Mike Tice effectively used Jay Cutler's mobility and accuracy on the run in the victory over the Vikings. The same tack might be useful against a pass defense that ranks third in the NFL (201 yards per game). Devin Hester's injury could give wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher a chance to contribute. On a team that struggles to get anyone open, Sanzenbacher could be just what Cutler needs.
Key matchup
While Brandon Marshall will be battling Sherman and 6-4 Brandon Browner, it's Cutler who will have to avoid trying too hard to get the ball to Marshall vs. dangerous CBs. Cutler was tempting fate all day against the Vikes last week.
On the ground
Marshawn Lynch is third in the NFL with 1,051 yards on 231 carries (4.5 ypc) and 5 TDs. But he's just another good RB to the Bears. Last year Lynch came in averaging 118 yards in his previous six games and was held to 42 yards on 20 carries, though he did score on rushes of 2 and 3 yards. Lynch had four straight 100-yard games before the Dolphins held him to 46 yards on 19 carries (2.4 ypc) last week. The Bears' rushing defense has dropped to eighth in the NFL (96.9 ypg), but that includes garbage-time yardage and a quiet 108-yard effort by the Vikings' Adrian Peterson last week.
In the air
Diminutive QB Russell Wilson (17 TDs, 9 INTs, 93.9 rating) is dangerous because his size make him better, not worse. ''I know that I have to stay tall. I know that I have to have a high, quick release, throw the ball on time,'' the 5-11 Wilson said. ''I know I have to understand the game and understand the defenses. I think that's what helps me.'' With a rookie QB and Sidney Rice (37-524, 6 TDs), Golden Tate (30-390, 6 TDs) and TE Zach Miller (26-301, 1 TD) as his main targets, the Seahawks have a better passing offense than the Bears with Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall.
Key matchup
Urlacher is coming off an average performance against the Vikings last week. He'll be a key factor — can he take advantage of Wilson's inexperience without getting burned by his inventiveness? It's tougher than it looks.
With Gabe Carimi starting for injured Lance Louis at RG and Edwin Wiliams starting for injured Chris Spencer at LG, the Bears don't know what to expect from their makeshift offensive line. But neither do the Seahawks, which might actually give the Bears an advantage. NFL teams are so dependent on knowing what the other team is doing, even changes for the worse can work in your favor — like the White Sox facing a pitcher they've never seen before.
Special teams
Likewise, Eric Weems replacing injured KR Devin Hester seemingly can't hurt, unless Weems can't hold on to the ball. Weems is a different style. ''He's a little bit more north/south, a strong up-the-field player,'' Dave Toub said. Seattle's Leon Washington had an NFL-record eighth KO-return TD against the Dolphins last week. The Bears are second in punt coverage and fifth in KO coverage. They are the only team in the NFL that has not allowed a 40+ KO and 20+ punt.

Totally listening to Hard Candy right now.
Totally listening to Hard Candy right now.
Here you go boys, some eye candy
I think some of these guys were in her superbowl halftime show. I love her dancers. Guys who dance well turn me the fuck on for some reason. The 4 guys she had with her during 'Music' on the bleachers had me so hard.
Best Superbowl halftime EVER!
I adore this woman....
When it comes to men, she knows how to pick winners.
I hated that song at first, but it has definitely grown on me (as did much of the album).
The dancing pink bikini chick sold me on that song.
^^^I hope that girl never had political aspirations... because that chance is dead.
Girl Gone Wild is a great track though. I love it. Madonna's video for it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better though.
There we go. This is better.
The video with the dancing girl was made for another song (it's some weird foreign instrumental called "Skeletons Having Sex on a Tin Roof" ) but some Madonna fan who thought the lyrics for GGW were extremely vapid and subpar for Madonna's standards put the song over that video prior to Madonna's video being released. I dunno, the imagery is so silly and syncs so well with parts of GGW -- by total serendipity, because it's unedited from the original video -- that it turned the song around for me.
My favorite part: "Forgive me. *crazy Exorcist hair flip*"
Impressive how soooo many celebrities have gone to see MDNA....
Kylie, Stella, Alicia Keys , Gwen Stefani and NO Doubt , Leo diCaprio (again!), George Michael, Anderson Cooper, NPH & partner, Robyn (!!), SEAN PENN, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, JPG, Versace, D&G, Valentino, Glen Close, Adam Clayton of U2, ADAM LEVINE (LA Show YAY!), Heidi Klum
to people I didnt even expect : Sophia Bush, Emma Roberts, Mark Salling (Glee!), Jessica Alba, Dita VT, Rose McG, Paris Hilton, LLu, ALANIS MORISSETTE, JODIE FOSTER, JARED LETO, david Arquette
Sitting in the front row of a Madonna concert with Mark Salling... how amazing would that be?
I'm so pumped about going to the show in Atlanta next weekend! Can't believe it's almost here.
Speaking of which--one of my good friends may have an extra ticket or two (really GOOD seats)...if there are any of you here who would be interested in taking it (free of charge), let me know. Again--it's for the 11/17 show in Atlanta.
I've never seen her in concert... So jealous of you guys!
According to Madonna's official Facebook page, next week's Miami shows (November 19th & 20th) are being filmed for a DVD release!
^ exciting news.
Well--my friend and I will have pit "seats" inside the golden triangle at tonight's concert, you guys. I'm so fucking excited to see Madonna up close!!!
I just know I'm going to start crying and make a fool of myself.
i hope the DVD is directed well to appreciate the mind blowing stage M has used
awww...thank you! Yes--I was there and had a fab time! This was my first time having such close 'seats' to The Queen, and damn she looked amazing! It was such a surreal experience.
I made this shirt--and Guy Oseary later stopped me to tell me how much he liked it. I adore "Love Spent"!

GQ's The Least Influential People of 2012
So disrespectful.That cheerleading outfit isn't making you look any younger, Madge. It's time for you to stop putting out aggressively bland comeback albums and make room for Ke$ha and Katy and the other 800 female artists out there who change outfits every five minutes to distract people from their terrible singing.

Like I've said before -- critics have been declaring that Madonna is "over"/irrelevant/washed-up/past her sell-by date since 1992. It's gotten to be quite amusing as the years have progressed.
Meanwhile, she's still around twenty years later (and not only still around, but still challenging herself artistically, still selling out stadiums around the world, still racking up #1s)... how many of them can say the same?
How long before Lady Caca starts incorporating a walker into her "act"?
This is purely opinion though and musical taste varies from one person to another so this is irrelevant. I actually don't know why everyone starting PMS-ing over Hard Candy. I actually like many tracks from that album and I'm not even her biggest fan."She" hasn't made a "decent" album since Music
So some people will love her new work some will hate it so there's no 'quality' to talk of. People who talk like that remind me of food critics. It's like, seriously, WHO CARES? Some people like to eat fish and chips, some people prefer chicken, some prefer greens, not everyone has to like calamari and champagne. I don't get people's obsession with being like some fucking quality police and literally going into other people's homes and telling them what's good and what isn't and what they should or shouldn't be listening to. And at the same time being basically so anti mainstream and telling anyone who likes mainstream stuff that their taste in music is horrible and they "don't know" what real music is.
It's pointless. People have a choice when it comes to musical preference. Get the fuck over it. Clearly enough people like Madonna's recent work for her to still be a (very) profitable touring act. And her last 5 CDs have all gone straight to #1.
Tough Shit.
You may have noticed that the first thing I mentioned was that she "still challenges herself artistically." Which, to me, is the most important thing. But, given that art is subjective and a matter of personal tastes, the more tangible example of her relevance are the numbers -- hence the reason I cited album sales and ticket sales.
She continues to set records in those areas, so obviously a rather large amount of people are still interested in her. Hence relevancy.
And if you don't think she's interested in artistry -- check out album cuts like "Gang Bang," or her elaborately designed & choreographed stage show.
I'm not someone who thinks Madonna shits gold, but -- for the life of me -- I can't figure out how anyone could dismiss all of that.
I think the GQ Madonna entry above is more insulting to Katy, Kesha and the 800 female artists than Madonna.
As for Madonna, well, does she even fucking care about GQ? Good or bad, they are still talking about M.
A League Of Their Own is on TV right now. Such a great movie and Madonna was fantastic in it.
"This Used To Be My Playground" is my favorite of M.'s ballads. It's wistful, sweeping, nostalgic, and simply gorgeous.
^ I don't have a blu-ray player yet, but I may have to get one just for the MDNA concert.
This is for "Elton" who's a regular here on the Madonna thread.
Billboard 25 Top Tours from from Nov. 9, 2011, to Nov. 13, 2012
1. Madonna (72/72 shows sold out, gross = $228 million)
2. Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band (54/72 shows sold out, gross = $199m)
3. Roger Walters (51/72 shows sold out, gross = $186m)
4. Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour by Cirque Du Soleil (9/183 shows sold out, gross = $147m)
5. Coldplay (56/67 shows sold out, gross = $147m)
6. Lady GaGa (65/65 shows sold out, gross = $124m)
7. Kenny Chesney & Tim McGraw (9/23 shows sold out, gross = $96m)
8. Van Halen (9/46 shows sold out, gross = $54m)
9. Jay-Z & Kanye West (15/31 shows sold out, gross = $46.9m)
10. Andre Rieu (2/99 shows sold out, gross = $46.7m)
Wow. Madonna beat out the Boss! Comfortably at that!
No idea who Roger Walters is.
Lady Gaga, 6th place. Surprising actually. I thought she'd be higher up.
Van Halen still tours?
Pretty sure that's supposed to be Roger Waters, who was part of Pink Floyd.
FanofFiction are you so out of touch that you actually posted that response. It sure gives no credibility to anything you post that's music related.
Roger Walters is the leader of Pink Floyd.
Madonna is high because of her catalog and ticket prices.
Anywho, Lady Gaga being low surprised me. Her tickets have rocketed in price from her other tour. Nosebleed shit tickets for the ACC in February here in Toronto start at an even $50.00. I can buy two Bon Jovi tickets for the price of one Lady Gaga ticket. Crazy.
Madonna is the queen.
I guess I apologize for not knowing a guy from a band I never really enjoyed? Not really no.
She needs to add more Canadian dates. She needs to come to Atlantic Canada. She'd sell out here too, so it wouldn't be like she's taking a loss by coming here. One big show in Moncton or Halifax would do it. Everyone from the region would go. Moncton has hosted some huge artists! Surely Madonna could at least consider it...
I'll see her live one day.

The media went loopy with stories nearly every day over the DTV/Viacom dispute.
By comparison, there has been little coverage of this one. A few articles the first day or so, but nothing since. I see that as a symbol of how unimportant Rainbow is, how few people care and how 'done' this matter really is.
I think Rainbow on Dish. I wish Rainbow would revive VOOM. As far as AMC I couldn't give a fig about it.

The name of the song is "Future Lovers" off of Madonna's "Confessions" album, though during the live performance she segues into Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," from which Madonna sampled the synthesizer line for "Future Lovers."
My biggest criticism of the show -- and the #1 reason why the big-3 networks are losing viewers to cable TV and DVD -- is that there were way too many commercials. As a result, they sacrificed three numbers -- "Drowned World" (which was the best vocal performance of the entire show), "Paradise," and "Lucky Star." Hopefully, those will be restored for the DVD release.
Watching the show on television confirmed for me was I suspected when I saw it live -- that Madonna lip-synched "Sorry" and "Erotica/You Thrill Me." However, the choreography during both numbers was flawless, and I have always forgiven her for lip-synching at times in order to enhance her physical performance.
The excision of the crucifixion scene was the biggest fucking joke ever. Funny that the "Christian" hypocrites who had a problem with it had nothing to say about Madonna writhing erotically on a stripper pole during "Like A Virgin" while newsreel footage of horse-racing jockeys getting maimed and paralyzed in severe track accidents ran in the background. Also, no complaints from the Christian right about two half-naked men feeling each other up, one with the Star of David painted on his torso, during the performance of "Forbidden Love." And no word from the neo-cons when the camera zoomed in for a close-up during "I Love New York" and, even though they bleeped it, you could totally read Madonna's lips when she says, "You can go suck George Bush's dick!" The most pronounced irony was that during the performance of "Live To Tell," Bible verses of Christ's teachings ran overhead, which few of those who identify themselves as "Christians" seem capable of following. The mentality of the Christian right is the reason why I have lost all hope for the future of the human race -- they are utter morons who hide beyond the veil of religion like the cowards that they are in order to justify their bigotry, hatred and and narrow-mindedness.

PSY "Gangnam Style" Hyuna Makeup
October 23, 2012 | 38 comments so far - join the discussion!
The "ulzzang" Korean make up look focuses on the clear skin complexion. To achieve this look, start by cleansing your face with the Clearasil Perfectawash (scroll down to the bottom of this post to learn how to win yourself one).
4minute's hyunA is typically known for her beautiful skin. To replicate the look, start off a perfect base and prime prior to applying your base foundation and concealer.
By creating a smoother base, you will find your foundation will stay on for longer and look more perfect for photography.
I feel like HyunA's eye makeup in the Gangnam style music video is very droopy so I have recreated the look by extended the eyeliner downwards to create a puppy eye feeling.
Her eyebrows are very light and bleached. I have recreated this by patting my face powder on my eyebrows and using a blonde hair colour eyebrow mascara, lighten the individual hairs on my brows. You can see that it instantly draws the attention away from my brows and brings more attention to my eyes and lips.
For the lips I have created a gradient of pink shades by using two pink lip products. I've created more of a pout by applying a darker/brighter pink in the inner areas of my lip.
See the whole tutorial in video here.
Clearasil is also giving my readers a chance to win their very own Clearasil PerfectaWash pack!
To win, like their facebook page, comment in this post and let me know what your biggest skincare secret is!!
Here's mine: I dry my face with a microfiber cloth each and every night to ensure that the make up on my face is completely removed prior to sleeping!

My biggest skincare secret is using the PMD to get rid of flaky dry skin!
I use the clarisonic to cleanse my face as well as scrubs such as St. Ives apricot scrub and the Organic Honey peel to get rid of all my dead skin on my face and make it nice and smooth!
I would love to win the Clearasil PerfectaWash as I suffer from acne and have heard so many good things about this product.
Thanks =) -
i use SPF sunscreen everyday to keep my skin healthy and sunspot-free
This is mine:
Morning: Wash face with clearsil morning burst facial cleanser
Afternoon: Johnsons Exfoliator
Night: Clearsil night Pimple clearing lotion and night cream -
use a make up wipe; then use the nivea daily essential cleanser lotion; then use the biore pore unclogging scrub; then use the biore triple action toner and finally using a moisturizer on your face :) and once a week i do a face mask
I use toner and SPF face lotion in the morning
I used to have severe acne skin and it was a nightmare!! Later on I found out that it was because I used the wrong skin type foundation that caused the disaster…since then, I found out a few skincare secrets along the way as my skin is getting better. (I wouldn't say they are secrets because they are pretty common…haha but since it says to tell the 'biggest skincare secret'!)
I've used a couple of facial wash products and I realise the more gentlier the product is the better your skin will get! 'Cetephil' is the cleanser that I use for quite a while. Also, I won't use cotton pad/cotton balls/makeup remover wipes regularly on my acne skin because it is a bit rough for the scars. That's the same applying to using scrubs, only use it once a month or two. Other than that, I would also let my skin rests as much as it can by not putting too much makeup on.
So yeah, these are some of the 'secrets' I have for my skincare.
Hopefully I will win!!! Thanks. -
I do a LUSH face mask every week to detox my skin!
I use brown surgar and honey as a lip scrub :D

My skin care secret is to not ever have hair on my face or body whether it's my fringe, exposed back or stray hairs framing my face. I think it keeps the oil and bacteria in my hair from getting onto my acne-prone skin thus creating a cleaner and brighter complexion :) Also I use QV (cream and 30+ SPF face moisturiser) – which is amazing! You should try it too since you live in Australia. I've noticed less flakiness bumps on my skin esp. around my nose.
I use sunscreen everyday before leaving the house
i steam my face under a towel, over a bowl of hot water with lemon in it to open the pores and remove any dirty deposits in the skin :)
my tips are massaging your face while moisturising in upward motions to defy gravity and using your ring finger to press in your eye cream rather than rubbing it in harshly.
Just food products from across all ranges of food, personally I like to use lemon to clean, brighten my face and even out skin tone, plus it's refreshing and easy (:
I use a soft exfoliator everyday to keep flaky skin away!
Using Aloe Vera when I break out! – helps with the redness and scarring.
I use olive oilk only with waterproof make up , every day i just use a cleansing milk and a tonic, maybe an home made tonic with lemon and camomile tea. :)
Using olive oil as a eyemakeup remover and wearing sunscreen before applying makeup~
I like to always use sunscreen to prevent my skin from tanning ^^
i use olive oil to remove my makeup and it always leaves my skin very smooth!
i use green tea as my toner..
I take baby wipes and pour some baby oil in it and just wipe off my makeup.
Then I use my korean soap to wash the oil off and then use my Clean n Clear face wash. -
i use sugar and honey to exfoliate my face once a week (:
Rubbing ice on my face in the mornings to make sure my pores are extra small. Also, the cold water refreshes and wakes up my skin!
I use a moisturizing face wash in the morning, followed by a pore minimizing moisturizer. At night I use a light weight face crub cleanser and put on a night cream. If I don't wash my makeup off at night i always wake up with a zit!
At night, I cover my face with a towel dampened with warm water for ten minutes. while I make sure my face is still moist, I put on moisturizer because skin absorbs moisturizer better when it's not completely towel dry. It feels really nice after if you massage the moisturizer in too. :-P
I have dry skin. So twice a week I would add a few drops of jojoba oil to my moisturiser to give my skin an extra hydrating boost :)
After rubbing the cleansing foam in, I use a gentle exfoliator and rinse with warm water
I wash my face with cold water.
Always apply toner after cleansing. The tip to avoid blackhead on the nose is to soak the cotton pad with lots of toner (a fair bit amount you have to spill on) and stick in on the nose for 1 to 2 minutes that will avoid much blackheads.
If toner is too expensive to do all the time, the next best alternative is to use ice cubes. Use it to rub on your face,u will feel super refreshing. #make sure the ice cube is clean!
It's sooo pretty :) I love these makeups, but I have a problem using it, my eyes (my eyes position as European) are something falling, not noticeable to the natural, but if I use this type of makeup is highlighted and it doesn't advantageme: (
My biggest skincare secret is for reviving dull skin is to start fresh by removing dead skin cells with an at-home peel once a week or at bedtime. Then slather on a rich moisturizer.

Turnovers proved to be the downfall for the Hawks as they fell to the French Camp Academy Panthers 28-8 in the 1A North Half Championship game. The Panthers, at 11-2, will play Stringer in the 1A State Title game at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Jackson Saturday at 11 a.m. Shaw finished its year at 10-3.
The Hawks committed six turnovers — all interceptions — and ended up throwing the ball a season-high 39 times. The Hawks also had some dropped passes during the evening, while the interceptions enabled French Camp to score the first 21 points of the contest.
"We got in the hole early, and you can't afford to do that against a good football team," Shaw head football coach Kendrick Smith said. "We've got to make plays. Maybe it was my fault. Maybe I threw it too much tonight. I can always second guess myself, but French Camp won the game."
The first quarter was by far Shaw's worst quarter of the game. With the Hawks deep in Panthers' territory, French Camp's Hagan Box intercepted a pass and ran it down the field near the Panthers' sideline for a 75-yard return for a touchdown with 6:08 left in the first quarter. The point-after kick from Sam Gould was good, and the Panthers led 7-0.
French Camp's defense stepped up again on Shaw's next possession as senior Ben Hosket intercepted another pass that bounced off the hands of a Shaw High receiver, putting French Camp on Shaw's 29-yard line. The Panthers took advantage of the field position as quarterback Jesse Hosket completed a 27-yard touchdown pass to Lovondra Carter with 5:11 left in the game. Gould kicked the extra point to increase French Camp's lead to 14-0.
French Camp added one more touchdown before the end of the quarter as Carter recorded French Camp's third interception of the night and ran it back 20 yards for a touchdown with 3:48 still left on the first quarter clock. The kick from Gould was good, and the Panthers inflated their lead to 21-0, which up would being the score going into the second quarter.
"I think our guys were a little tight, our receivers played a little tight," Smith said. "That's not normally how our kids perform. I'm just a little disappointed in our first quarter play. It just wasn't our night tonight."
Shaw's defense stepped up and did a job at keeping French Camp at bay. Shaw's Xavius Loggins had a key fumble recovery in the second quarter, which helped keep the Panthers off the board in the quarter. The Hawks did a better job at protecting the football on offense, but the score still remained 21-0 going into the lockerroom at halftime.
At the start of the third quarter, French Camp went to receive the kickoff from Shaw. Coach Smith decided to call an onside kick, and the move worked as the Hawks recovered the football. Shaw's offense couldn't put the points on the board as the French Camp defense forced a turnover-on-downs.
As the third quarter progressed, the Hawks were able to put together a solid drive. Pruitt threw a pass to Octavius Stimmage who caught the ball and was able to put the Hawks deep in French Camp territory on a 34-yard reception.
Later in the drive with the Hawks at the Panthers' 18-yard line, Pruitt was able to complete a pass to Keveon Shepherd. Shepherd, who had a hard time catching the ball earlier in the night, came up with the ball on the play and was able to carry a couple of defenders on his back as he got down to the 3-yard line for the first down. On the next play, Christopher Harthone marched into the end zone for the touchdown with 3:28 left on the third quarter clock. Harthone also charged in for the 2-point conversion to cut French Camp's lead down to 21-8.
The momentum wouldn't last as Ben Hoskett picked off another pass from Pruitt to give the Panthers the football at the Shaw 46-yard line. The Panthers marched the ball down the field and were able to go on a good drive. With 6:23 left in the game, French Camp ended the drove with another score as Box ran into the end zone from two yards out. The kick from Gould again was good, and the Panthers went up 28-8.
The Hawks couldn't get any closer as Jaylon Clemons intercepted a pass to help keep the Hawks at bay.
Shaw's offense had some good runs from Harthone toward the end of the game, but it was too little, too late.
For French Camp, Jesse Hosket completed 5-of-14 passes for 79 yards and a touchdown with Carter catching all five completions. Hosket also rushed for 55 yards on 13 carries, followed by Clemons with 52 yards on 14 carries. Jesse and Ben also recorded nine tackles each to lead the defense.
For Shaw, Pruitt had a rough night as he threw all six interceptions. He finished the game 23-of-39 passing for 197 yards. Shepherd led all receivers with six catches for 82 yards, followed by Harthone with five catches for 47 yards. Harthone had a decent night running the ball as he rushed for 79 of Shaw's 100 yards on the ground in the contest. Harthone scored a touchdown and a 2-point conversion on nine carries.
On defense, Loggins, Harthone and Lerandel Allen anchored the Hawks. Justin King also had a key sack in the second half to aid Shaw on defense.
Smith said, despite the outcome of this game, Shaw still have a good future ahead.
"We're supposed to be playing for the north half championship and state championship with as much talent as there is in Shaw," Smith added. "I expect for us to get in this weight room, get a good work out over the summer and be right back in this position again."

I am not asking this question with knowledge of the answer. I know very little about either. However I once read Lucretius, an Epicurean, 'On the Nature of Things' and it seemed that Epicurean philosophy is very similar in mentality to Darwinian philosophy, so that that Darwin seemed just an 'evolved' form of Epicurean.
Paul debated with these men, as well as the stoics who I found just as entertaining.
A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, "What is this babbler trying to say?" Others remarked, "He seems to be advocating foreign gods." They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection. (NIV ACTS 17:18)
Is a Christian argument against evolution just the same thing (like Paul reasoning with the Epicureans?) so that there really is 'nothing new under the Sun', or is Darwinism something really quite different?
I should add I never have believed in Evolution, even when I was not a Christian. I have always thought it unreasonable from a scientific point of view. However, I really have not thought about it much in my life.
I can't say how I had these thoughts, from the linked Epicurean article, as it was many years ago that I read it. I was wondering if somebody knew more about this topic and can answer the question.

I have had the pleasure of caring for and learning from oncology patients since joining Memorial Sloan Kettering in 1994. I started out as a clinical nurse on the Bone Marrow Transplantation Service and after subsequently working for many years as a nurse practitioner at a separate facility in New Jersey, I returned to the institution in 2009 — on the Leukemia and Lymphoma Services.
When I am on the job, I help to manage the care of inpatients receiving chemotherapy who also have other complicated medical problems. I am involved in all aspects of inpatient cancer care, from carrying out chemotherapy orders to evaluating daily tests and interventions and overseeing admission to the hospital through the Urgent Care Center.
