Paul Walker Mother Seeks Custody Of Late Actor's Daughter
Thursday, March 20, 2014
(Los Angeles, CA) -- The mother of late "Fast & Furious" star Paul Walker is reportedly seeking guardianship of the actor's only child. A Los Angeles Superior Court rep tells ABC News Cheryl Ann Walker filed a petition earlier this week to take custody of Paul's 15-year-old daughter Meadow, to whom he left his entire fortune. Meadow has been living with her grandmother since 2012. Paul Walker shared custody of Meadow with her biological mother, Rebecca Jo Soteros, but the two were never married. A custody hearing is set for April 30th. Walker died last November in a car crash during a charity event. He was 40 years old.

How not to stop a plague
Is a plague threatening to bring your civilisation to its knees? For those looking for a way to stop an outbreak of Black Death or venereal disease, be sure to avoid any of the mistakes listed in the antiguide to plague prevention: what not to do.
Don't destroy the very thing that's protecting you
One of the most famous plagues in history was the "Black Death" epidemic which swept through Europe multiple times, the worst of which was from 1347 through to 1352, wiping out nearly a third of the population. The disease was spread by rats, so it really, really didn't help when everyone blamed cats instead and proceeded to try and wipe them off the face of the Earth.
Even in the years leading up to the deadly outbreak, peasants across Europe had been murdering millions of cats due to a commonly-held belief that these sneaky felines were servants of the devil – a view promoted by no less than the Catholic Church. Evil? Well, they were suspiciously independent, noisy at night, and usually owned by lonely peasant women (the type of people most often accused of witchcraft). Millions of women and their cats were burned before the plague even hit, leaving an entire continent open to an invasion of rats. After the Bubonic Plague started wreaking havoc, "witches" and their cats were usually the first to blamed, and even more were put to death.
Don't get cured with "a hair of the dog that bit you"
Despite the wonders of modern medicine, plenty of plagues still rage through human societies today, with one of the worst being HIV/AIDS. Just as viruses still exist, so do the superstitions surrounding them. Witch doctors throughout Africa have a number of bunk methods for treating HIV. It's bad enough when people are getting bogus treatment, but its even worse when the remedy is actually exacerbating the problem.
One such "cure" involves sex with a virgin, which has obviously only helped spread the virus. Some varieties of this myth even promote the idea that the younger the virgin, the more effective the cure. Due to this belief and other factors, child and even infant rape is endemic in a number of African countries.
Witch doctors have also been known to try and cure the illness by cutting the hand of a patient with broken glass as part of a ritual – unfortunately, they use the same shard of glass over and over, thereby spreading HIV further through the mixing of contaminated blood.
Don't cure one plague by introducing another
Plagues don't just come in disease form: societies can be ravaged by plagues of animals too. Think a plague of locusts, or the modern case of rabbits decimating Australia. When the Europeans colonised Australia in the 1800s, they brought some rabbits to hunt. With no natural predators, rabbit numbers spiralled out of control, destroying entire ecosystems. The solution? Foxes were introduced to control the population. Unfortunately, there is no natural predator for foxes in Australia, and they've reached endemic numbers as well. To make things worse, foxes prefer lambs and chickens over rabbits, and have proved just as much a problem for farmers as the rabbits ever did. Other attempted solutions to the problem include a rabbit-proof fence longer than the Great Wall of China, and the introduction of Myxomatosis, a rabbit virus.

Last year it was fine, this spring one branch looked dead and no leaves grew, now in July it looks like more branches have died, all about 20 feet up. Can anyone give us any advice on what might be causing this? We live in Central Virginia, last couple of months have been hot but we've also had lots of storms and rain so i don't think it's from lack of water. I'm thinking maybe a disease or insect? We did notice the trunk is sometimes really dark, but it's been like that for 8+ years and leaves always showed up in spring, really nice yellow leaves in autumn. Just this year we have these dead branches and they are increasing in amount. |

Have several Certified Arborists out to investigate. Then compare their opinions. Around here, verticillium wilt can cause the same symptoms. |
I actually just called my city to come check out a maple in front of my house. I believe it has verticillium wilt. My tree looks a great deal like yours. In my research one of the big clues for wilt that my tree has - a massive overproduction of seeds slightly off season. That along with die out and rapid wilt at the crown of the tree on individual branches. Jean's suggestion is probably a great idea. There was one other disease I saw that was similar, but it is difficult to tell which it might be without testing. |

V wilt will leave dark streaks on branches and usually leave the leaves hanging on the branches, right? I had an acer palmatum succumb to it this year and my neighbor is losing a lilac to what looks like the same. I emailed pics to an extension agent and he thought that was probably it. |

TUCSON - An unattended incense stick is being blamed for causing a guest house fire Wednesday evening.
The fire started shortly after 6 p.m. in the 5300 block of East Willard. Tucson Fire tells News 4 the person staying in the guest house had left with the incense stick still burning in the corner of a room.
The owner of the main house returned home after running an errand to find heavy smoke coming from the guest house. By that time, many people had called 911.
Fire crews opened the door to the guest house to find the source of the smoke and discovered a large fire in the room. A ladder crew cut a hole in the roof to reduce temperatures inside the home.
It took ten units and 24 firefighters eight minutes to bring the fire under control. There were no injuries to firefighters and Red Cross was not needed. Several animals died in the fire, including one cat, one rabbit, and several mice.

As the President prepares to deliver his State of the Union address tomorrow, I have two major hopes for his speech:
1) That he will provide at least one example of a meaningful step America will take to move our nondemocratic allies like Egypt, Uzbekistan, and Saudi Arabia towards democracy and away from the tyranny that the President himself said was a threat by its very existence. Alternatively, he could announce that the United States will support the long held and overwhelming desire of the Iraqi Kurds for full independence. Either move would convince the world that we truly support liberty and democracy even when they conflict with our interests.
2) That he will announce some gesture to indicate that he is honestly willing to listen and work with his critics. Not the "Here's what I'm doing – be with me or against me�, but real dialog and compromise when necessary. Since he expects the Shia and Kurds of Iraq to work and compromise with the Sunnis who butchered them in the tens of thousands, surely the President and his party can offer meaningful cooperation to Democrats and others who may share their goals (a safer country, taking care of the most needy), but have different ideas to get there.
1. Elections in Iraq puts real and serious pressure on all those countries you mentioned and then some. And while I'm a fan of the Kurds, letting them secede from Iraq I think would be a disaster.
2. Bush spent a lot of time at the beginning of his first term reaching across the aisle, to Ted Kennedy specifically, much to the chagrin of us Republicans. Teddy's horrid speech last week shows where that got him.
Bush got a heavy mandate in November and the Iraq election was a pretty large success as well. Where's you're willingness to listen?
How do you reach out to a party that is going to elect Howard Dean as the new DNC Chairman. This is the same Howard Dean who is quoted last week as saying, " I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for."
Howard Dean, speaking at a DNC Forum, Jan. 29, 2005. This was reported in the NY Daily News.
Congratulations on being the first Anonymous Patron to make a comment on my journal!The short answer is that you find any existing areas of agreement. Pass legislation based on those areas. Next work on issues where your disagreements are relatively minor and do not threaten your party's base. Listen to each other, test each other's facts, and either come to a compromise or agree to drop the issue.I can't say this often enough -- if the Republicans and Democrats can't work together, despite mutual suspicion in the peaceful environment of the United States; then we have NO BUSINESS WHATSOEVER expecting the ethic/religious/tribal groups in Iraq to work together. We're not divided by death, destruction, and decades of dictatorship. They are.
Let's take your last point first."Where's you're willingness to listen?"You've read my journal for a year and you don't know? I've complimented the President in this journal, I've defended him elsewhere on LISNews on several issues, including the false charge that public monies were being spent on inaugural parties.I've also denounced Democrats in general and Kerry in particular on numerous occaisions in this journal. I base my opinions on people's IDEAS and ACTIONS, not their political party.I believe that I'm far more open to listening to the President than you are to listening to anyone outside the Republican Party. If you've got contrary examples show me. Until then, stop confusing me with Terry McAuliffe."Elections in Iraq puts real and serious pressure on all those countries you mentioned and more"They don't seem to feel any in their public statements and why should they? For decades under both parties our message has been "Work with us and what you do to your people is your business, aside from the occiasional verbal protest." If you've seen something that suggest our repressive allies are feeling the heat, I'm listening."And while I'm a fan of the Kurds, letting them secede from Iraq I think would be a disaster."So much for "Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way. ". If freedom, liberty, and self-determination were our REAL goals, for the world, we wouldn't hesitate to support Kurdish independence with military force. HOW? Just withdraw all our Iraq forces into Iraqi Kurdistan. I guarantee they'd REALLY welcome us with flowers."Bush got a heavy mandate in November and the Iraq election was a pretty large success as well."Bush did get some kind of mandate in November. Was it for Iraq, Homeland Security, Anti-Abortion, Anti-Gay Marriage? Who really knows? Plus his margin of victory was small. This entitles him to a leading voice in policy conversation, but doesn't relieve him of the responsibility of listening to the 49% of Americans who did not vote for him. You elected him, but he is the President of all the people.About Iraq - isn't it too early to declare the ELECTION a success? The voting surely was a sucess. It was far less violent than anyone expected. The President deserves a lot of credit for sticking with the January 30th date. I don't think any useful purpose would have been served by delay.Voting was done relatively peacefully over the whole country. This isn't the end of "The Election" there are still steps left undone before we can say whether this election was successful:1) The vote needs to be fully counted.2) Any electoral challenges have to be dealt with in a fair and transparent way.If these are met, then yes, the election was successful. But then the truly hard work begins. Can the Shia, Sunni and Kurds overcome decades of distrust, hatred and mass murder to form a single state? Given our failure to work together in Washington where no such history exists, I have my doubts -- hence my support either for outright Kurdish independence or an extremely loose federal system like Switzerland. Still, I pray for the Iraqis most days and wish them well.
I'm not confusing you with Terry McAuliffe but when you speak in favor of the President its because you already agree with him, not because you've changed your mind on something you disagreed with him about. At this point in time Iraq is a success and regardless of what other Arab leaders are saying, their people are seeing something they'd like to have. We did the right thing going in. Do you agree? And are you ready for Iran to be next?
No, I don't think he has a responsiblity to listen to the 49% or the 51% for that matter. He has to stand by his beliefs first but he can negotiate when necessary working from what he says. I strongly disagree with him on immigration and would certainly fight against him on it. Hopefully he can be 'negotiated' more in my direction. If it happens it won't be because he changed his beliefs but because he felt it was the option most likely to succeed.
As far as the Kurds go, they are as free as the Texans who are now Americans and all the Southern states that tried to succeed. Having your own border isn't the equivalent of freedom.
Absolutely the election was a success. They voted under threat of death and they did so in large numbers. That experience will carry them a long way.
Outstanding article! Thanks! I've saved it for future reference.
"9-11rules changed"Changed. Not eliminated. Not a blank check for preventive war.One thing hasn't changed since 9/11. We still have an obsession with countries not working with al-Qaeda (Iraq, Iran, Syria), and continue praising countries (Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt) whose societies (and in some cases parts of gov't) provide al-Qaeda with ideology, foot soldiers, money and possibly weapons.
Did you listen to the speech last night? And yes, if 9/11 was anything it was a blank check for preventive war.
Oh I see.Hmmmmm, Lets play a guessing game! How many of the 9/11 hijackers were Iraqi? Can you guess?
Don't worry, its kinda hard ;)
Was it?1. 15 Saudis, 4 Iraqis.2. 14 Iraqis, 3 Saudis, 2 Yemenis.3. 15 Saudis, 1 Egyptian, 1 Lebanese, 2 from union of Arab Emirates.4. 14 Iranians, 2 Afghans, 2 Lebanese, 1 Iraqi.
If you guessed #3. You're right!None of the hijackers were Iraqi!So tell me again, why does 9/11 have *anything* to do with our invasion?Go peddle your flag-draped hypocrisy elsewhere
"Did you listen to the speech last night?"I read the State of the Union speech, as the Founding Fathers intended.You can read my comments in journal entry "SOTU Reaction". It included my points of agreement before my points of disagreement.Do you agree on anything with people outside your party?
(Blake doing an impression of GregS*)There's another party?That's like asking the Borg if they wanted to come over to watch the superbowl!
That reminds me of how happy I am that Enterprise was cancelled! Never could take that show with its paternalistic Vulcans. IMO it was a cheap effort to cash in on the ST tradition. I'd rather watch Voyager, which means a lot coming from me!A friend has lent me the DVD of the NEW Battlestar Galatica mini-series, so I may have nicer things to say about it once I see it from the beginning.
"I read the State of the Union speech, as the Founding Fathers intended."
Well now that's a snobby answer. You should have watched, you missed the hug.
"Do you agree on anything with people outside your party?"
I think Zell and Leiberman are stand-up guys, Tony Blair is the bravest politician on the planet. I heard good things from Moynihan (RIP), I believe he coined the phrases "defining deviancy down" and "benign neglect" (the 2nd in reference to race).
"Well now that's a snobby answer. You should have watched, you missed the hug."If it was good enough for Jefferson and Lincoln to send a SOTU letter for Congress to read, it's good enough for me."I think Zell and Leiberman are stand-up guys, Tony Blair is the bravest politician on the planet. I heard good things from Moynihan (RIP), I believe he coined the phrases "defining deviancy down" and "benign neglect" (the 2nd in reference to race)."My question, asked in frustration, is withdrawn.I like Moynihan myself and must agree that Tony Blair shows political courage for his stands. Although I do have to wonder how democratic it is for a leader to take his nation into a non-defensive war when a majority of his people opposed it. They opposed it before the invasion, I think support for the war tipped briefly in into the 50s in the first few months after and then slid further into strong opposition.
"My question, asked in frustration, is withdrawn."
I don't think you get it. We both like Moynihan because of things that agreed with us. Zell is more Republican than some Republicans and Lieberman more of a hawk. This whole idea of reaching out is just another way of saying "come sit down so I can talk you into my way of thinking."

Years ago my wife, Jeri, and I were driving on the interstate when we were overcome by a white cloud of windblown snow. "I can't see a thing!" I shouted. We were experiencing a complete whiteout. I lost all sense of direction. I couldn't see the road or other cars. Everything had vanished, replaced by this strange, mystical blizzard of white. The only thing I knew to do was to slow down and pray that I was still on the road.
By the providence of God I came to a stop in the median, where we waited out the storm. When it lifted, I was shocked at what we'd gone through. Miles in front of me and miles behind were wrecks—too many to number. Massive trucks had slid off the road and turned over. Cars were everywhere. It was purely by the hand of the Lord that we survived.
A whiteout is a weather condition in which visibility is severely reduced by snow. The horizon disappears completely; there are no reference points at all, leaving the individual with a distorted orientation.
This is what's happening today in the church. Many are oblivious to the dangers on the horizon. In this spiritual whiteout the reference points—the ancient landmarks—have been covered. Erroneous teachings have merged together with truth, causing innocent believers to become disoriented—and blinded.
The Lord recently imparted to me a vision concerning the state of the church and what we must do about it. Those familiar with our ministry know we've never played games and have a deep, reverential fear for the work of God. Given this, I urge you to take heed to the following words. If you think I'm just letting off some steam, understand that I've just passed through three years of cancer treatments. I had been given only days to live. And as Leonard Ravenhill often reminded me, we must speak with the unction and urgency of God. We are all nothing more than dying men preaching to dying men.
In the vision I saw the church, depicted as a beautiful ski resort, with an enormous avalanche hovering overhead. The Lord immediately revealed the interpretation. This impending spiritual avalanche carried a threat that could destroy everyone. I've spent countless hours in the past attempting to rescue those who had fallen prey to false teaching. Now, in this visitation from God, I saw layers upon layers of snow steadily covering the solid, traditional truth of Christ. As with a whiteout, the truth had been lost in the flurry. No one who loves God willingly preaches deception, yet a spiritual whiteout of unhealthy, unbalanced and, in some cases, unbiblical teaching is blinding the body of Christ in America, and it is quickly spreading around the world.
How Has This Happened?
Unhealthy and destructive teaching can enter the church in various ways. Sometimes a biblical truth is taught to the exclusion of other biblical truths, producing a dangerous imbalance. At other times a biblical truth is taught in an exaggerated way, often going beyond what Scripture actually says, and in the end this does more harm than good. Many times clear, biblical warnings are ignored or reinterpreted so radically that they lose all impact or effect, leaving people vulnerable and exposed.
Paul warned that the "time will come when [believers] will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables" (2 Tim. 4:3-4). Today's church in America, as a whole, is dangerously close to turning aside to such fables. Millions have already succumbed to these false teachings. Before we lose any more souls, it's crucial that we identify what I believe are the seven greatest lies that have infiltrated the church and have led to a whiteout of error.
1) Overemphasis of Prosperity
Undoubtedly, some adherents of the carnal prosperity message are motivated by greed. For them, preaching Jesus is a means of financial gain, something Paul rebuked in the strongest possible terms, speaking of men "of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain" (1 Tim. 6:5).
Yet many sincere believers embrace this message too—and back their case with Scripture. They point to the covenant blessings the Lord promised to Israel for their obedience, including financial prosperity (Deut. 28:1-13). They highlight verses in Proverbs and Psalms that link financial prosperity to generosity, hard work, godly living and faith (e.g., Ps. 112). They remind us of wonderful promises, such as those found in Proverbs 3:9-10—and how Jesus reiterated these in the New Testament with teachings such as, "Give, and it will be given to you" (Luke 6:38). And they quote Paul, who wrote about the financial principles of sowing and reaping (1 Cor. 9; 2 Cor. 8-9; Phil. 4:11-19).
Are you with me? I am not against you having money. But I am adamantly against money having you. The problem is, there's more to the story that the carnal prosperity preachers fail to mention:
More importantly, the carnal prosperity preachers have ignored other biblical warnings, like Paul's powerful words to Timothy: "Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness" (1 Tim. 6:9-11).
Carnal prosperity preachers encourage God's people to seek after riches—or to seek after God for the purpose of riches—often even judging your spirituality by the kind of car you drive. What does that have to do with the gospel of Jesus?
2) Exaggerated View of Grace
This hyper-grace teaching has become an epidemic (see "What's Wrong With Grace?" on p. 28). It has slipped in almost unnoticed and taken root like an unwanted weed—easy to get in but hard to get out of the Christian. I have personally dealt with many young people who were once on fire but fell under this "kicked-back" view of God. Now, instead of pursuing Him, they are partying. This "unmerited freedom," if not tackled and taken out, will spread to future generations, leaving us with millions of lukewarm Christians who have traded their passion for poison.
Sadly, some hyper-grace preachers live in sin and ease their consciences by preaching about a God who is all love and who never condemns, a God who doesn't judge us by our conduct. Like the false teachers Jude confronted, they "turn the grace of our God into lewdness" (Jude 4). The New International Version describes such lewdness as "a license for immorality."
But not every hyper-grace preacher is looking for a way to justify sin. Some truly love Jesus but are simply preaching truth mixed with error. They've taken an undeniable, glorious truth about God and presented it in such an exaggerated form that they nullify all divine warnings and even claim that the words of Jesus don't apply to New Covenant believers. If this seems judgmental, then it's time to honestly line everyone's teachings—including mine—alongside the Word. Don't just go through the Word; let the Word go through you. Why are we so afraid in this godless generation to confront fallacies?
These hyper-grace teachers rightly emphasize that we are saved by grace and not by works (Eph. 2:8-9), that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us (Rom. 5:6-8), that we are no longer sinners but saints in God's sight (1 Cor. 1:2), that God's love for us is not based on our performance (Rom. 5:9-10), that having begun in the Spirit we can't become perfect by human effort (Gal. 3:3), that we are now sons and daughters of God, joint heirs with Jesus (Rom. 8:15-17), and more!
But they ignore mountains of other scriptural truths and draw wrong theological conclusions. For example, they rightly teach that Jesus died for all our sins—past, present and future—but wrongly conclude that as believers we no longer have to deal with sin (meaning we never have to confess sin or repent of sin, and the Holy Spirit no longer convicts us of sin). Aren't you tired of hearing of another backslidden brother? Trace his steps and you'll often find he was given permission to slip away from the wonderful freedom of holiness into the bondage of humanism.

Star Wars: The Card Game | Published 11 March 2014 |
Every game of Star Wars™: The Card Game presents the players with dozens of small choices, any of which could be the tipping point of the game. When faced with myriads of possible options, it's easy to forget what you know about the state of the game. But situational awareness always pays off, and today, guest writer Matt Brown will use a personal game example to illustrate his point: every decision matters!
The Attack Begins
Star Wars: The Card Game has a tactical depth few games can match, despite the relative simplicity of its rules. It is important to have good situational awareness and apply what you know about the current game state, your deck, and your opponent's deck to every decision you make. To illustrate how seemingly small decisions can change the game, here's a look at an oversight I recently made that resulted in a loss.
In the game, my Sith control deck seemed to have stalled the light side's Vehicle onslaught. It had taken a heavy toll on both sides, but the game was in the final stages. The board was clear except for an undamaged, ready Darth Vader (Core Set, 35) holding the Force for the dark side. I'd deduced that my opponent was holding his last Rebel Assault (Core Set, 108) in his hand. I had Defense Protocol (Core Set, 40) on the board with three damage and Trandoshan Terror (Edge of Darkness, 393) with two damage. My final objective was an undamaged Counsel of the Sith (Core Set, 27), and with my enhancements, I had eight total resources.
My opponent had already destroyed one of my objectives while I had yet to destroy any. As my turn began the Death Star dial ticked up to 10. For some reason, my opponent didn't play Rebel Assault on my Defense Protocol in my refresh phase, leaving me with all of my resources. I looked at my hand and saw: Kuati Security Team (Core Set, 136), Emperor Palpatine (Core Set, 51), Heat of Battle (Core Set, 169), Force Choke (Core Set, 59), Force Lightning (Core Set, 60), and Darth Vader.
From that information alone, it seemed logical to play the Kuati Security Team and Emperor Palpatine. However, we need to consider what I knew about my opponent's deck. He was running Renegade Squadron Mobilization (The Search for Skywalker, 208), Raise the Stakes (Edge of Darkness, 322), The Defense of Yavin 4 (Core Set, 138), Prepare for Evacuation (A Dark Time, 232), and The Rebel Fleet (Core Set, 143). On the table he had The Defense of Yavin 4 and two copies of Renegade Squadron Mobilization. So far, I'd dealt with one Home One (Core Set, 70) and one Blockade Runner (Edge of Darkness, 323), leaving one of each in his deck. His behavior the previous turn convinced me that Rebel Assault was currently in his hand even though he didn't play it during my Refresh phase. He also had a copy of Swindled (Edge of Darkness, 130) still unaccounted for. Does that information change what I should have played? Or should I still have played out the Kuati Security Team and the Emperor?
The Assault Pattern
This is where situational awareness became important. I could pretty fairly expect to win the game on my next turn. Even if he managed to take the Force back from me, I could expect Darth Vader or the Emperor still in my hand to take out a damaged Renegade Squadron Mobilization. So what cards in my opponent's deck could win the game for him on his turn? Rebel Assault would be enough to take out my Defense Protocol, so he needed to find a way to do three additional damage to win, not an easy feat when starting from scratch. Possible options included getting either Home One or Blockade Runner unopposed. A Y-Wing (Core Set, 165) swarm was less scary, since Vader could always Force Choke himself to kill one and take out another while striking.
It was very unlikely that my opponent could win an edge battle and his deck had no copies of Twist of Fate (Core Set, 171) so I could count on striking first and my Heat of Battle dealing damage. Renegade Squadron (The Search for Skywalker, 209) could be problematic if it managed to tactics down my units, but he would still need a way to do three damage after that. A quick check of his discard pile told me that he was out of Target of Opportunity (Core Set, 170), so the most likely method for getting three damage remained an unopposed Home One or Blockade Runner. Home One was covered by Vader and either Force Choke or Heat of Battle, leaving me needing to find a way to stop an unopposed Blockade Runner to win.
Unfortunately, I did not think through all of the possibilities carefully during the game and proceeded to play out the Kuati Security Team and the Emperor. At the time, my thought was that the Emperor would give me protection against Renegade Squadron while the Security Team could defend against a Blockade Runner with Heat of Battle and Vader, allowing me to destroy the Blockade Runner before it could even strike.
My opponent played his Rebel Assault in my Force Phase, scoring his second destroyed objective. He then proceeded to play a Blockade Runner and Swindled my Kuati Security Team, leaving Vader and Palpatine sitting helpless while he destroyed the final objective. At this point, it would be easy for me to say he got lucky, but I'd be missing the opportunity to learn from a very real mistake.
The mistake was playing Emperor Palpatine. I didn't need him. The key deduction I missed was that I needed to stop a Blockade Runner from attacking unopposed. Looking back at my hand, I had two good ways to do that: defending with the Kuati Security Team or playing Force Lightning, after the Blockade Runner had struck, but before the Reward Unopposed step. The more reliable of those options was Force Lightning, though it didn't help me if the Blockade Runner had an Astromech Droid Upgrade (Core Set, 158).
Still, by choosing to play Emperor Palpatine I reduced myself to one option, knowing that my opponent could have a card to negate that defense. If I had played just the Kuati Security Team and left myself the resources for Force Lightning, then his only winning play was Blockade Runner, Astromech Droid Upgrade, and Swindled. Any other combination allowed me the opportunity to use Force Lightning to deny the unopposed bonus and hold on for the win.
So what's the point of this story? The key to making good decisions in this game, where you know so much information, is to take a moment to put yourself in your opponent's chair. What do they need to have happen in order to win? It can be easy to forget to incorporate your knowledge of their deck and the current game state and make a costly mistake. Many times Palpatine is a great choice, but this game he was the wrong choice. If I had exercised better situational awareness, I could have realized that and saved the game.
Thanks, Matt!

We've been fans of Laurie Beckerman's playful contemporary renditions on high modern furniture design for a few years now, since we saw her apostrophe-shaped "Tete-à-Tete" rocker. The Brooklyn-based designer has a knack for expressing geometric principles in compelling final product, and her latest piece, the "Butterfly Chair," is no exception.
The Butterfly Chair is inspired by the ethereal beauty of lucite. The sheer form of a butterfly is created with simplicity and harmony of proportion. The wings organically grow out of the circular seat, giving the appearance of a chair about to take flight.
I'm also getting a funky, abstracted Pac-man vibe from the bisected spheroid.

The Beta Pi Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma recently raised funds and collected items needed to place in 'Smile Bags' that are given to children receiving the services of Operation Smile around the world. Operation Smile stresses the importance of diversity as evidenced by its presence in more than 60 countries, providing more than two million patient evaluations and over 200,000 free surgeries for children born with facial deformities worldwide.
Dr. Sam Fuller, who donates his time to perform surgeries with Operation Smile, gave a presentation about his work to Beta Pi members at their February meeting. Operation Smile is the second love of his life, and his presentation at Beta Pi enabled the group to share the love they have for others by embracing this worthy cause. He spoke of the discrimination children with facial deformities face in other countries, often keeping them from attending school. Within minutes the Beta Pi sisters, who work to support education locally and around the world, were writing checks for Dr. Fuller to support his work with Operation Smile. But they did not stop there. Organized by member, Dr. Carla Mathews, the group collected crayons, coloring books, combs, tooth brushes, soap, shampoo, mirrors, washcloths and stuffed animals, as well as sewing draw-string cloth bags, known as 'Smile Bags' in which to put the items.
Again, the work of Beta Pi did not stop there; four members, Dr. Carla Mathews, Debby Howard, Cathy Epps and Nancy Alpine traveled to Norfolk on June 21 to personally deliver the two large boxes of supplies to Operation Smile's International Headquarters. They spent two volunteer-hours filling 500 'Smile Bags' and had a rewarding, fun-filled time. Dr. Sam Fuller has been an inspiration to these ladies, and Operation Smile has become dear to their hearts.

On November 21 and 22, 2009 the 32nd Mega Record and CD Fair will take place at Jaarbeurs Convention Centre, Utrecht, the Netherlands. Over the last 31 sessions this event has built a reputation as THE spot to find and/or experience the most beautiful music related collections, exhibitions, book presentations, autograph sessions and performances. This 32nd fair will highlight the Punk era, with a special exhibition containing memorabilia and unique material from the legendary USA band the Velvet Underground plus the appearance of two very special guests: Jon Savage and Johan Kugelberg. Both are internationally renowned authors and collectors of modern pop culture.
This worldwide known event was fully booked since June. With 500 stalls and dealers from 45 different countries the show attracts more and more international attention.
At the same weekend the International Collectors Fair celebrates its 30th anniversary. From 1992 onwards the two events take place in the same weekend and visitors have to buy only one ticket to visit them both! Not only you can dig in crates at the record fair, but also you may find beautiful vintage design items and collectables in the other halls.
Jon and Johan will talk under supervision of Dutch (music) journalist Jan Vollaard with each other and with the audience about "England's Dreaming", The Velvet Underground, rock fanzines, the history of punk, and the problems and pleasures of archiving and documenting popular culture. They are both available for book signings.
The exhibition Velvet Underground a New York Art is based on the book with the same name edited by Johan Kugelberg with contributions by Lou Reed, Moe Tucker, Jon Savage and Vaclav Havel. The exhibitions contains several famous Andy Warhol designs like gig posters, handbills and album covers from the early stages of this highly influential avant-garde Rock band.
Bud Benderbe (USA) will highlight the exhibition with his live interpretation of Velvet Underground covers in lounge/disco style.
The Dutch Michael Jackson Fan club will show their most rare and beautiful items like golden awards, Neverland memorabilia, stage clothing, coins, limited editions autographs and so on in hall 11.
The Mega Record and CD fair with more than 500 stalls from over 45 different countries is a true happening for all music lovers. Open Saturday November 21 from 09.00 until 18.00 hours and Sunday November 22 from 10.00 until 17.00 hours

The information below comes from patients and family members who are
using it successfully to control their hepatitis C in spite of the fact that
it may or may not agree with established medical protocol.
It works for me! The most important part of my regimen is a good
healthy dose of prayer; prayers offered by others, and prayers of my own. I don't drink tap water..........I used to buy the purified stuff from the local store and now drink water we run through a purification filter. The more I drink the better I feel - remember that detoxification is vital and water works wonders! Those with liver disease that eat a lot
of red meat might want to consider cutting back on it because it makes the liver
work harder to process it and
can often be high in iron. Those with cirrhosis or folks with high iron levels
might also want to consider avoiding as much additional iron as possible
because it's believed that the hep C virus thrives in an iron-rich
environment (even cooking in an iron skillet can add iron
to food because of the leeching that occurs). I avoid red meat, eat low fat
and feel better because of it. Here's a good link that discusses diet
and hep C, it's not mine but I believe this page is a good start. Remember: NO
alcohol, and moderation is the key with most things. Oh yeah, here's the link: In addition to all of the above, I also take the following: Milk Thistle (Siliphos) - In my opinion this herb is one of the best available in America for those with liver disease. Although no herbs carry the FDA stamp of approval (because it's not considered economically feasible for a company to spend the required massive amounts of money to gain FDA approval for a non-patentable product) Milk Thistle is used extensively in Europe as a liver protectant and asset to liver healing, and gaining reputation here in the United States as one of the better "liver herbs". There are a few different types of Milk Thistle available on the market, and the main differences seem to be in the bioavailability of the product (ability to be absorbed and used by the body). Herbs vary in potency from one plant to the next and because of this, proper dosing of some herbs used to be a problem. In recent years the herbal companies have developed methods to standardize the active ingredients of the plant and market them as "standardized extracts". Not all herbs are so critical on dosages so they may not require the standardization process to be as effective, but this one does. This was the best type of Milk Thistle available on the market when I was first diagnosed in 1994, and helped me when I was at my worst. I was taking the dosage as listed on the bottle of 300 mg. 3 times per day. ( 80% standardized silymarin active ingredient). Now, we have "new and Improved" types of Milk Thistle available to us that have been developed in recent years that are far superior and which studies indicate are much more beneficial to the liver. This is largely because of the fact that they're designed to be more bioavailable to the body than the more familiar "standardized extracts" (in other words, the very best of the active ingredients from Milk Thistle is used by the body rather than eliminated as waste). Scientists have been able to isolate the most effective parts of the Milk Thistle seed called "silybin" and have created a patented compound called "Silybin Phytosome", also known as "Siliphos" (depending on the manufacturer). After being extracted from the Milk Thistle seeds, the silybin then goes through another process ("phytosome") which basically binds it with a carrier substance (phosphatidylcholine) that helps more of this natural substance to be absorbed into the system and used by the body. There's a really good article on hep C and alternatives that originally appeared in GNC's "Let's Live" magazine a few years back which discusses the phytosome process and more. We've received permission to reprint the article and you can read it at the following address: http://nationalhepatitis-c.org/lets1.htm I truly believe that Milk Thistle is one of the very best "liver herbs" on the planet and I know that this newer process greatly improves its effectiveness (after seeing concrete improvement in my own health because of using this far superior type of Milk Thistle, I certainly won't be going back to the regular standardized extracts any time soon!) The newer stuff can be purchased in two different potencies: 240mg. per cap, and 360mg. per cap (the stronger dose is recommended for those with considerable liver damage like I have). DOSAGE: As recommended on the bottle, I take 1 360mg. capsule 3X daily. Cat's Claw - The need to boost immunity seems to be an area that a lot of folks with Hep C forget about. Let me assure you from personal experience that with this disease especially, it is VERY IMPORTANT to do everything you can to strengthen and boost your immunity. There are lots of herbs on the market that can help with this, but I prefer an extract of the herb "Cat's Claw", because of the positive impact it's had on my liver function numbers since I started using it in 1996. This rain forest herb has not only helped keep the hep C manageable, but I've had very few cases of the cold or flu since I started taking it. DOSAGE: I prefer one 500 mg standardized extract gelcap capsule daily (as recommended on bottle). CAUTION: Cat's Claw is NOT recommended for anyone taking immunosuppressant drugs (as with transplant patients). It is also NOT recommended if pregnant or nursing. Liverite Liveraid - A really good liver detoxification product that helps tremendously with the "brain fog" and overall feeling of well-being. When I first started taking this product in 1999 I noticed it helping me to feel more like my old self again. I now spend much less time in bed, and it's definitely had a positive effect on my motivation to want to get out and do things. I believe the amino acids etc. in this product help to heal my liver while the vitamin B12 helps with my energy. I really can't say enough good things about this stuff and most people I know who try it, love it. DOSAGE: I take two tabs, 3 times daily. Dandelion Root (made into a "tea") - Those who've progressed to cirrhosis often find fluid retention in the lower abdomen and ankles to be a problem. This is basically liquid waste that's prone to infection and usually controlled by the use of prescription diuretics such as "Lasix" and "Aldactone". In my own case, my fluid retention was in the area of the abdomen (called "ascites") and my doctor prescribed both of the above mentioned diuretics to control it. These drugs can damage the kidneys and have other undesirable side effects on the body when used for extended periods of time and it wasn't long before I started experiencing them myself. This is when I decided to search for an alternative to these medications and learned about dandelion root. This herb has been reported to be a natural alternative to the diuretic prescriptions I was taking, and after being on the meds for close to a year, my doctor agreed to go along with my desire to wean myself from both and switch to dandelion root. I did this by gradually decreasing my dosage of the pills while increasing my intake of the herb (which I make into a tea). Over a period of a few months I was successful at completely stopping the prescriptions and by drinking the tea I was able to keep my ascites under control. For a number of years I'd make up a pot in the morning, and drink between one to two quarts per day. I'm happy to say that since late in the year 2000, my condition has improved to where I've been able to reduce my daily intake of dandelion root to about 16 oz. per day and as long as I remain on my low-sodium diet I no longer have a problem with ascites. Dandelion root can be purchased in pill form or as raw herb which can be made into a "tea". I prefer the latter and here's how to make it: Using one teaspoon of raw dandelion root per cup of water (or 3 tablespoons per 2 quart pot), bring your water to a boil, turn down to a slow roll, and add the dandelion root. Leave covered at this temperature for about 20 minutes, then let it cool and enjoy. It tastes a little different, but herbs usually do, and I think it's really enjoyable once you get accustomed to it. (Now you can't tell me that some of you haven't consumed some "different" tasting things before!) You can even buy it roasted which changes the flavor a bit, and it's fine to sweeten or flavor it with lemon, or whatever. I order my dandelion in bulk which is the cheapest, and I believe the most potent (Teabags are much more expensive). Dandelion root is healthy for the entire digestive system and is a really good herb even for those who don't have cirrhosis. Many health food stores don't carry bulk dandelion root though and if you have a problem finding it, ask them to order it for you. It is important to remember that the effectiveness of herbs is directly related to personal sleep habits, nutrition, and exercise. Many herbs take a while to get into the system before they start to work. The way I see it, it took a long time for my body to get in the shape it was in when I was diagnosed, and it's certainly worth a bit of patience on my part, knowing that this time I am being healed, and in the way my body was designed - with God's own medicine. A final word of caution: As with any other suggestion offered to you by anyone (yes even a licensed physician!): DO YOUR OWN HOMEWORK! I cannot stress enough the importance of knowing what goes on with and into our bodies. Don't just take someone else's word for anything, (including mine). Do your OWN research!!! Do NOT assume that because a person claims to be an herbal specialist that they know about liver disease or hepatitis C. MANY DO NOT!!!! Herbs were put here by God for us to use as food and medicine, but when used incorrectly they can be just as harmful as anything else on the planet. This is the regimen of which I credit for helping me avoid the liver transplant that my doctor at Vanderbilt Medical Center believed I'd need within a year- back in 1994. Since then, by the grace of God and a whole lot of determination, my condition has improved to where I am no longer considered in need of liver transplantation and I live each day thankful to be alive, living with my own liver intact. In spite of the fact that I remain disabled from the damage caused by hepatitis C prior to my diagnosis, by being dedicated to the daily regimen discussed above, my liver function numbers have consistently remained in the normal ranges or very close since 1996. Although my continuing survival (and the multitude of others who use this or similar alternative therapies) verifies that the virus CAN be controlled without the toxicity and potential harm of chemical treatments like interferon, we know that anyone who chooses this approach to controlling hep C will probably need to continue with some sort of herbal therapy for the rest of their lives (unless a cure is found, along with an accurate test to measure it). Just because you start to feel better, don't make the mistake of thinking that you no longer need to take whatever was helping you. As long as the virus exists, we have to continue fighting back. Period. One last word for
anyone who might get the wrong impression here: since 1995 when I first started
using my regimen it's helped to
improve my condition, helped me keep my hepatitis C under control, and helped me
to avoid the liver transplant that my doctors believed I'd need back then. However, I AM STILL NOT CURED OF HEPATITIS C and this
potentially deadly disease continues to reside within me. KEV'S UPDATE
Although the majority of plant medicines used today
are probably those taken in some sort of oral
pill form, many are still used in other forms from
liquid concentrates to those that are
smoked. The main problem with the latter though is the risk to
our lungs because smoking anything isn't really a good idea.
Fortunately, in recent years modern science has learned how to
heat plant material at a low enough temperature to vaporize
it instead of causing it to be burned. This allows a
person to then inhale the vapors and reap the same
benefits of the plant without the dangers of smoking!
---------- If you'll check out the links above, you'll see that the company makes two types of what I call "table top" models of vaporizers. One is digital with a very LARGE and easy-to-see readout which is especially wonderful for those of us that aren't getting any younger and notice that we don't see as well as we used to, while the other unit employs an easy-to-adjust knob that's used to regulate the heater's temperature according to need. I've used both units and by vaporizing instead of smoking my herbal medicine, I can enjoy the natural flavor of the herb without it tasting like I licked an ashtray because there's no smoke involved or anything being actually burned. None of the benefit is lost when using the vaporization process either. It simply turns the herbal material into vapors, retaining all the benefits without releasing tars and nicotines that get inhaled into our lungs when smoked. Volcanoes are made in Germany, which has always had a reputation for producing the finest in engineering. The vaporizers last a long time, and I have no doubt that they can definitely help save our health if we use one. Kev

Study Finds Massage Relieves Pain After Surgery
Posted: December 18, 2007
page 2 of 3
Massage to relieve pain dates to Hippocrates, the Greek physician recognized as a father of medicine.
Massage can dilate blood vessels, raise skin temperature and relax the mind and body. It can also reduce lactic acid levels in aching muscles, stimulate healing of connective tissues and increase lymphatic and blood circulation.
Massage may also create mood-boosting endorphins that offer a competing sensation, or may even block pain, the study said.
One problem is that nurses in modern-day hospitals rarely have time to give massages, it said.
Relieving pain with drugs has been controversial because of wariness among some care-givers and patients about dependency or addiction. Some studies have pointed to a tendency to not give patients enough pain-relieving drugs.

It is our belief that academic cardiology divisions have a mandate to perform basic research, "translational" and clinical research related to cardiovascular biology, pharmacology and disease. Within the Division of Cardiology at Emory, we are fortunate to have assembled a very interactive and productive team of cardiovascular investigators. Our basic research program encompasses a broad range of methodologies, including molecular biology, genomics, bioinformatics, cell biology, stem cell research and physiology.
In addition to our strong basic research program, Emory has enormous strength in the area of clinical trials and clinical epidemiology. The Emory Clinical Cardiovascular Research Institute (ECCRI) serves as a tremendous resource for our division, the Department of Medicine and other departments and schools at Emory. ECCRI serves as a focal point for collaborations between clinical investigators throughout the University and is engaged in numerous multi-center clinical trials.
The Andreas Gruentzig Center, directed by Dr. Habib Samady, has been at the forefront of research in interventional cardiology for the past decade and a half. The Gruentzig center has been very actively involved in clinical investigations of mechanisms of restenosis, development of new strategies to prevent restenosis and development of new interventional techniques, including brachytherapy, and recently, medication-eluting stents.
Our Clinical Electrophysiology Program, together with our Center for Heart Failure, has been actively involved in a multicenter trial examining the efficacy of biventricular pacing for treatment of heart failure and has led the nation in enrollment in this trial. Other studies performed by our EP service have examined the use of implantable defibrillators and mechanisms of atrial fibrillation.
An important aspect of our research program is training young scientists. Cardiology fellows at Emory have the opportunity to work with some of the nation's top investigators, benefiting from their experience and expertise. Close, day-to-day interactions between the fellows and their respective mentors provide guidance not only with the research project, but also manuscript and grant writing, data analysis, oral presentations and planning of research projects. In addition to Cardiology fellows, we are fortunate to have a large number of other research trainees who come to the Cardiology Division at Emory each year. These include graduate students and post-doctoral Ph.D. fellows from the United States as well as Japan, Germany, France, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Chile, Romania, China, Australia, among others. This has made our institutional research program a truly international effort.
Overall, our research programs within cardiology represent many closely integrated, vibrant, and productive efforts that span the gamut of investigational approaches. Because of our continued commitment to cardiovascular investigation, we anticipate continued success and growth of this very important aspect of Emory Cardiology.
