Thank you very much for your feedback, Kai!
I need a little help here. I'm pretty new to all-grain, having only done four BIAB batches before but now I've built a mash tun and am eager to use this recipe on it for the first time. I also just purchased BeerSmith 2 and I'm still learning it. I plugged this recipe into BeerSmith, which is leading to some more questions. My question is with the decoction steps. Having never done it before, I'm just looking to clarify and hope I'm not going over my head too much since I'm new. I know it's an advanced technique, but I'd like to give it a shot. Beer Smith 2 gave me the following steps for a five gallon batch after choosing "Decoction Mash, Single" (is that the right option?): Protein rest - Add 20.48 quarts of water at 136.4F - Step temp 131F - step time 20 minutes Saccharification - Decoct 5.56 quarts of mash and boil it - Step temp 150F - step time 45 minutes Mash out - Heat to 169F over 10 minutes - Step temp 169F - step time 10 minutes Fly sparge 2.83 gallons of water at 168F. The protein and saccharification steps seem pretty straightforward, but I'm a bit confused on the mash out. How do I achieve the 169F during the mash out? Just add enough strike water until I get the temperature? Or do I do another decoct? When doing BIAB I would just turn up the heat until I got the temperature. And do I really fly sparge? Didn't see that in the original instructions and it seems redundant.
Jamie, Kaiser made an excellent video on decocting. It is posted on his website. Unfortunately, I don't have the link handy.
Hey, knock that shvt off. We're drinkin' here.
Thanks Arturo. I found the videos on YouTube which did indeed answer a lot of questions. My remaining head scratchers have to do with Beersmith 2... specifically why it doesn't give me a volume for the mash out and also why it says to fly sparge (and gives a volume for that). Regardless, I guess I can see a work around. However, I might delay brewing this recipe for now only because I think it would be better to get a few simpler recipes under my belt first.Post-edit: Aha! I found out what I was doing wrong with Beersmith. Needed to change the label of the mash out step to "decoct". Now it gives me a volume.
Here are links to the videos: http://braukaiser.com/wiki/index.php...Mashing#Videos
I brewed this yesterday, violently fermenting away as 1007 usually does. The double-infusion decoction mashing process took far longer and more equipment juggling than the usual single infusion, but I could detect a noticable aroma change after decocting. I imagine this would be a different beer without those steps. Overall, I'm glad I experimented with a new style, and lookin' forward to it! Key point: definitely add the 20% fudge factor to the decoction formula. I forgot, and didn't hit mashout temp. So, I only briefly rested before batch sparging to avoid too much conversion at that temp.
[/QUOTE]I agree with you--when I bought the book I was hoping it would have more information on the history of what ingredients etc. were used in the styles.....I also don't like that it barely covers any styles. I still use it to get another perspective on common styles I want to try. [/QUOTE] I think you should check out Radical Brewing by Randy Mosher if you want more on how to make traditional styles from their country of origin. I've read a bunch of beer making books and this one takes the cake, IMHO It is the only brewing book that's taken me more than a day to complete, except Yeast by Jamil Z and Chris White. That one takes a bit to digest the content and figure how to put what I've learned into practice.
I just kegged this up after two weeks @ 34 with gelatin. It's a little on the big side vs. the original recipe (1.058 to 1.012), but man, what a beer. The malt nose is something else, and the body and bitterness are perfect (bittered with sterling). I'm entering this in a comp that is the end of the month as a 7A, I'll let you know how it fairs. Thanks kaiser!
I'm glad to hear that. Thanks.

If At First You Don't Succeed, (Don't) Try, Try Again?: Myriad Genetics Lost More Claims To 35 U.S.C. §101.
Cindy Chen | January 29, 2015
In re BRCA1- and BRCA2-Based Hereditary Cancer Test Patent Litigation, also known as University of Utah Research v. Ambry Genetics Corp.
December 17, 2014
Panel: Prost, Clevenger, and Dyk. Opinion by Prost.
A year after Association For Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc., 133 S. Ct. 2107 (2013), in which Myriad saw its isolated DNA claims being invalidated by the Supreme Court for patent ineligibility, Myriad found itself once again trying to defend the patent eligibility of its patent claims. This time, the claims were directed to isolated single-stranded polynucleotides and the use of those polynucleotides to detect the presence of genetic mutations. Different claims, but the outcome was the same as the Federal Circuit, following the Supreme Court and its own precedents, invalidated Myriad's claims as being directed to patent ineligible subject matter under 35 U.S.C. §101.

Content Extraction and Transmission LLC v. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. et al.
December 23, 2014
Panel: Chen, Dyk and Taranto. Opinion by Chen.
The Federal Circuit held that the claims of the asserted patents were invalid as patent-ineligible under 35 U.S.C.S. § 101 because none of asserted claims amounted "to 'significantly more' than the abstract idea of extracting and storing data from hard copy documents using generic scanning and processing technology."

While not all claims purporting to address Internet-centric challenges are eligible for patent, a claimed solution that is necessarily rooted in computer technology in order to overcome a problem specifically arising in the realm of computer networks constitutes patent eligible subject matter.

Environment of confidentiality and tight control trumps publicly visible location of invention in "public use" challenge to patent validity
Linda Shapiro | January 27, 2015
Delano Farms Company v. California Table Grape Comm.
January 9, 2015
Panel: Prost, Bryson, and Hughes. Opinion by Bryson.
In a case involving plant patents, the CAFC expounds on what constitutes, and does not constitute, a public use. The touchstone of public use is "whether the purported use was accessible to the public or was commercially exploited." A formal confidentiality agreement is not required to show non-public use. Because there was an environment of confidentiality and tight control in the actions of the third parties who obtained unauthorized possession of the plant material prior to the critical date, and their use was not accessible to the public, there was no invalidating public use.
After disposing of various procedural issues, the CAFC addressed a challenge to the validity of two plant patents under 35 USC § 102(b) (pre-AIA) based on an alleged public use more than one year before the applications for the patents were filed.
Following a bench trial, the district court found that the actions of two individuals who obtained samples of the two patented plant varieties in an unauthorized manner and planted them in their own fields did not constitute a public use of the two plant varieties and therefore rejected the plaintiffs' challenge to the patents. The CAFC affirmed.
The patent applications were filed on September 28, 2004, making the critical date for a section 102(b) public use bar September 28, 2003. Both plant varieties were made commercially available on July 13, 2005, well after both the critical and filing dates. In 2001, the U.S. Department of Agriculture ("USDA") held an experimental variety open house, which was attended by cousins Jim and Larry Ludy. Jim Ludy asked a USDA employee for some of the plant material for the two varieties. Although the plant material was not commercially released, and the USDA employee was not authorized to do so, he complied with the request, on the condition that the Ludys not sell the resulting grapes until the varieties were commercially released. Jim Ludy understood that he was to keep the plant material secret, and he understood the adverse consequences if he failed to do so.
Jim Ludy subsequently grew a number of plants from the plant material, and provided a few buds to Larry. Larry was aware of the origins of the plant material, and admitted that Jim told him they should keep it to themselves. Larry grew more plants from the buds he got from Larry, and showed them to his marketer at least twice before the critical date. The Ludys sold no grapes from their plantings before the critical date. After the critical date, the marketer sold grapes harvested from the vines under the name of an unrelated variety to avoid detection. Also after the critical date, Larry Ludy provided some of the plant material to the marketer, who recognized the competitive advantage in possessing plants that were not commercially released.
Based on these findings, the district court found that the plaintiffs failed to meet their burden of showing, by clear and convincing evidence, that the Ludys' use of the unreleased varieties constituted an invalidating public use.
The CAFC begins its legal analysis by stating the test for public use as being "whether the purported use was accessible to the public or was commercially exploited." To be accessible to the public, the actions that constitute the use must "create a reasonable belief as to the invention's public availability." Regardless of whether the actions are taken by the inventor or an unaffiliated third party, relevant factors include:
- "the nature of the activity that occurred in public"
- "the public access to and knowledge of the public use"
- "whether there was any confidentiality obligation imposed on persons who observed them" and if so, the degree of confidentiality
- [t]he adequacy of any confidentiality guarantees … measured in relation 'to the party in control of the allegedly invalidating prior use'"
"[A]n agreement of confidentiality, or circumstances creating a similar expectation of secrecy, may negate a public use where there is not commercial exploitation." Analogously, a secret or confidential third-party use is not an invalidating public use.
In this case, Jim obtained the plant material with the expectation of secrecy and impressed the need for secrecy on Larry; and even after the critical date, they both acted to conceal their possession of the plants. The facts are thus readily distinguishable from the seminal Supreme Court decision in Egbert v. Lippmann, 104 U.S. 333 (1881), in which the inventor of a corset gave two of them to a friend to use, without limitation, restriction, or injunction of secrecy.
The CAFC also pointed out that a formal confidentiality agreement is not required to prove that a use is not public.
With respect to disclosure to the marketer, the CAFC referred to the district court's finding that there was an environment of confidentiality and tight control, and thus no public use.
Finally, the CAFC considered the impact of Ludys growing the plants in locations that were visible from public roads. The public nature of the location was counteracted by the facts that grape varieties cannot be reliably identified simply by viewing the growing vines, the plantings in question were extremely limited in comparison to the total cultivation of their farms, the plantings were not labeled in any way, and there was no evidence that anyone other than the Ludys and their marketer recognized them.
The CAFC concluded based on the district court's finding of fact that the purported use was not accessible to the public and did not put the public in possession of the patented plants.
A use by an inventor or an unaffiliated third party is not necessarily a public use, even if the use is made without an explicit confidentiality agreement. Even without a confidentiality agreement an environment of confidentiality and tight control over the invention and its use can prevent the use from being construed as an invalidating public use.

The surgery involves injecting coils into the arteries of the nose through arteries in the leg.

May 27, 2010 11:12 am | News | CommentsA cancer patient who has a phobia of hospitals should be forced to undergo a life-saving operation if necessary, a British judge recently ruled.

Doctors feel she would die if her ovaries and fallopian tubes were not removed, as she was diagnosed with uterine cancer last year.

Romantic, vain, convivial, petty—defining Paris is a favorite pastime of the Parisians themselves. "[Paris] changes faster, alas, than a mortal's heart," wrote Baudelaire. France's capital is home to haute couture, masterpieces of art and architecture, and temples of fine dining, but also cozy bistros, vibrant ethnic enclaves, and bohemian cafés. One of the most visited destinations in the world, the City of Light glitters brighter than ever.

Nobody Likes Onions, my personal favourite podcast.
That or This is Only a Test, from the former Whiskey Media legends.
If you like comedy, then WTF with Marc Maron is great. It's not funny, but the comedians' stories are always interesting.
If you like history, then Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is great. The guy sounds like Richard Dreyfuss and the podcasts tend to be really long.
Other than the Bombcast, those are really all that I listen to. I'd also recommend that you listen to audiobooks.
I listen to the Tipping 40's Podcast (I believe they are on iTunes, but if not they provide an RSS feed)
I also listen to the almighty Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo's Film Review Podcast from BBC Radio 5 Live

My Brother, My Brother and Me.
This is the one, right here. Why would you ever need anything else?
@SerHulse said:

And hello to Jason Isaacs.
I also second that suggestion. Best movie podcast out there. Not to mention highly entertaining. If you like the podcast I suggest you get your hands on his Audio version of his two books. Normally I'd go read them but with Kermode doing the reading you get a performance.
PS: Here's also the iTunes link.
If you're into sports then you should check out the B.S. Report with Bill Simmons. For more nerdy stuff I would suggest Laser Time. Radio Lab and This American Life are always good too.
I think I've actually never played Trials Evo with sound yet, but have put probably 15 hours into it already. I just always have movies on or something in the background.
But when I don't I find myself listening to This is Only a Test, Retronauts, Games, Dammit!, and the CAG-cast. Though I hesitate with the CAG-cast cause Cheapy D keeps belching into the mic like an asshole. Seriously, anyone who does that needs to get shot, people use headphones, and don't want belches driven directly into their brain.
SModcast for me. I had never heard of the "My Brother, My Brother and Me" podcast. Anyone care to provide an elevator's pitch about the gist of it so I know what I'm getting into? Is it an advicecast wherein people send emails about issues and the like? Man, I've gotten to the point where I can't keep up with the volume of podcasts I listen to -- too many.
Weird Stuff podcast over at Weirdstuff.com Brian Brushwood, Justin Robert Young and Andrew Mayne talk all things bizarre in the news. Great stuff.
@ReddenBlack said:

I listen to like 50 different podcasts, but based on these I'm gonna reccomend LaserTime: It's a loud, funny tangent show like the Bombcast, but instead of just games it's all goofy nerd shit.
And try scrolling down Geek A Week til you see a name you like, and click on it. It's an extended interview with that person.
My Brother My Brother and Me, Besties, Old Carolla era Loveline.
Thanks for all the suggestions, Looks like I'll try my brother my brother and me and laser time.

Lakers fans ready for Boston
The team won't admit it while still playing the Suns, but they want the Celtics, too
LOS ANGELES -- The chants came raining down from the upper levels of Staples Center in the fourth quarter of the Lakers' 124-112 win over the Phoenix Suns like desperate cries from fans hungry for revenge and bored with the blowout taking place before them. They had seen enough of the undercard and were ready for the main event already.
"We want Boston! We want Boston!"
If the Eastern and Western Conference finals go for five or fewer games, the start of the NBA Finals will be moved up to June 1, according to the NBA. I'm probably pushing my luck here, but maybe they could go a step further and move it up to this weekend.
Do we really have to follow the lead of the media-savvy players and coaches and pretend the Lakers and Celtics aren't already looking forward to playing each other in the NBA Finals, after both teams took a 2-0 series lead in their respective conference finals?
By the looks on the faces of some of the players in the Lakers' locker room after the game when I brought up the prospect of playing the Celtics, you would have thought I was asking Jim Mora about the Colts' chances of making the playoffs.
"Boston? Boston? Ask me when we win two more games," said guard Jordan Farmar.
Fine, be that way. Act like a straight-A student who's still fretting about taking a couple of tests he already knows all the answers to. I guess we can all just play the role of a casting director, pretending to be interested in everyone else auditioning for roles we've already set aside for Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
For more about the Lakers and coverage of the complete Los Angeles sports scene, visit ESPNLosAngeles.com. »
Thanks for stopping by, Pauly Shore. We'll be in touch, Stephen Baldwin. You have our card, Steven Seagal.
The Lakers' "Road to Repeat" this season has turned into an unexpected "Road to Redemption" during these playoffs. Everyone thought they'd have to play either the Nuggets or Mavericks in the conference finals before taking on the Magic or Cavs in the NBA Finals. As it turns out, they got the Suns, who eliminated the Lakers from the postseason in 2006 and '07, and are now two wins away from playing the Celtics, who embarrassed them in the 2008 NBA Finals.
You can't really compare the Suns and Celtics when it comes to Lakers rivals, though.
Phoenix is the girl who broke your heart a couple of times in high school. Sure, it hurt, but you were young back then and you never really expected anything coming into the relationship. You obviously still want to show her up now that you're a big shot, but really, you forgot whatever corny nickname you two had for each other back in the day.
The Celtics, however, are an entirely different story. Boston is the girl who stood you up on your wedding day, broke up with you via text as you waited at the altar and ran off with your best man to Cabo. Even that doesn't even begin to capture how the Lakers felt after losing to the Celtics 131-92 in Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals, which actually wasn't as close as the final score would indicate.
Madison Avenue might have wanted Kobe versus LeBron in the Finals, but Lakers versus Celtics is the Finals matchup with the most drama, the most history and the most bad blood.
The Lakers are indifferent toward the Cavaliers and don't necessarily like the Suns, but they absolutely hate the Celtics.
They probably hate them more than the Lakers of the 1980s did. After all, Magic Johnson and the "Showtime" Lakers beat Larry Bird's Celtics in two out of the three Finals they played. Bryant, meanwhile, is still living with the nightmare of Game 6 and giving up a 24-point second-half lead in Game 4, which would have tied the series. If you thought he was motivated to vindicate a couple of first-round losses when he was on bad teams, you haven't seen anything yet.
While the Lakers and Suns rosters from four years ago have completely changed except for a handful of players, the Lakers and Celtics rosters from two years ago are almost identical except for a handful of players. This isn't a manufactured rivalry to get players motivated for an otherwise dull series; it's a deep-seated hatred built over years, which turn into decades when you run into older players who were a part of it before many current players were born.
Beating the Celtics means so much to Lakers owner Jerry Buss that he mentioned his desire to pass the Celtics in championships won when he traded Shaquille O'Neal six years ago. His son, Joey, stammered his way through saying how much he wanted to eclipse the Celtics' record of winning 17 titles when he accepted the team's 15th championship last year. Even when the Celtics aren't around, the Lakers are always thinking about them -- even if they don't want to admit it right now.
More on the Lakers
For more news and notes on the Lakers, check out the Land O' Lakers blog from the Kamenetzky brothers. Blog
When the Lakers play the Celtics in the Finals this year, Los Angeles will have the home-court advantage it lacked two years ago when it lost every game it played in Boston. It might prove to be the difference this time, as the Lakers have won 10 straight postseason games at home and are 27-3 over the past three years. Then again, home-court advantage hasn't stopped the Celtics from winning in Cleveland and Orlando in these playoffs.
"It looks like Boston is in a dominant position and they're going to make it, but we're not really worried or concerned about them," said Lakers forward Luke Walton. "We're not looking ahead to Boston."
That might be the company line from the Lakers' players and coaches now, but that's certainly not the case for their fans, who made it clear at the end of the game that they've had their fun with Phoenix but are ready for the real deal. Pretty soon, when the inevitable becomes reality, maybe the Lakers will finally let down their guard and join them in a chant that is already encompassing the city.

Damn... I didn't want any shirt in this derby as much as this one. Do a redraw and submit it in another derby.

I'm not sure which shirt you mean. But in general, if it wins, places or shows in the Derby (Fri-Sat-Sun), then yes. Otherwise no, unless it gets a second chance down the road (that's up to Woot eds giving it an honorable mention, then competition in yet another derby).

No, sorry. It's Thursday at noon, Central. They need time to actually tabulate and verify the results, get the Webpage up... The winner goes on sale Thursday at midnight (Friday AM).

Color all of it the same fill and stroke (something NOT in the design itself. I tend to use a stroke thickness that is really big to get a good block on the background (10-20 pts). Then, select all and flatten transparency on the layers (do this last, because it'll vectorize everything in the design down to shapes). This should convert the shape into one big blob. Apply a merge filter, and that should get rid of a lot of extra lines. Then, select the color of the blob (should now be an outline around your shape), and delete it. Done!

I'm a long time computer user. As a web master the strain placed on your wrist can be overwelming and very dangerous. When I first got this mouse I inmediately found it confortable and very easy to use. Well, to better ilustrate how I feel about it, just think of this, I have 6 computers at home and 8 at work. They all have this mouse, and to avoid injury at the office I require all my workers to switch to this mouse. I hope this info is useful to you.

Vermont Substance Abuse Systems Could See Stress
By Pat Bradley
Vermont's substance abuse treatment programs could see new stress due to a greater number of people having health insurance and seeking treatment after key parts of the federal health overhaul take effect.
Vermont experts in the fields of mental health and substance abuse and their agencies are preparing for the launch of the new exchange, which is expected to broaden access to health insurance by the end of the year.
But experts say Vermont has two factors going for it that many other states lack: a high percentage of residents who are insured already, and a strong mental health parity law requiring insurers to cover mental health and substance abuse services.

It's funny, but true, and there is a solution (831 comments)
Obviously that's a joke, but it's also a serious problem in some instances. If you have a case-insensitive filesystem filling your whole disk partition and need to test case-sensitive applications, you can create a case-sensitive disk image using Disk Utility or hdiutil, then test your app on that. I had to do this in Subversion recently while troubleshooting a problem that had all the symptoms of a case-insensitivity problem.

locate isn't a good solution (361 comments)
I'm a big fan of locate if only because of its speed compared to other tools, but unless you have all of your metadata stored in the folders and filenames it's not going to be much help. With any elegant solution to this problem, you couldn't "locate -i 'Bruce Willis'" and find a list of media that he was involved with.
Totally sucks about WinFS (361 comments)
I was really looking forward to WinFS. Having abandoned windows for my personal needs but still having to support it, I was really looking forward to having a database layer on the filesystem. Sure sucks that they gave it up, along with several other key features in Vista. *Hopefully* they get around to it some day though, because the indexing service sucks serious balls, and that whole framework is pretty inferior.

Minimize vs Hide (797 comments)
As a linux user who long since gave up the GUI and switched to Mac OS X for those things, I have found that the minimize function is far less useful than the "hide application" function built into OS X. I rarely minimize anything, but I hide things frequently.
OS X features aside, I don't agree with taking away the option to minimize. Just because you have a bad ass hammer doesn't mean you'll never need a screwdriver.

If the challenger is an established data recovery business located in the United States of America (We would need to see Articles of Incorporation, a current business license and one other form of business identification in order to determine that they are indeed a professional, for-profit, established data recovery business) or a National government law enforcement or intelligence agency (NSA, CIA, FBI), then we will allow these type of organizations to disassemble the drive and to keep the drive for thirty (30) consecutive days.

Malaysia? (840 comments)
I'm not well versed in Malaysian law, but I found Malaysia to be pretty forgiving to non-Malaysians in regards to Sharia law. IIRC they judge their muslim citizens by Sharia law, but expats are allowed more freedoms. I personally loved Malaysia and felt no oppression when I was there, and was amazed to find that it was so Islamic when my plane landed.
Malaysia is over 60% muslim, which is coincidental because 60% of the world's muslim population lives in Asia, whereas only 20% is in the middle east. http://pewforum.org/Muslim/Mapping-the-Global-Muslim-Population.aspx
Hoarders and ratio (255 comments)
Do they not open the damn files as they come down? If only for a cursory glance to confirm.
I had a room mate who was obsessed with downloading everything and burning it to DVD. He literally had hundreds of burned DVDs in his closet on spindles. There's absolutely no way he had time to consume that much media, but he seeded it back while he slept and worked before burning it to dvd. Even if he opened the archive to look at the filenames, who's to say he actually watched and or listened to each file to verify?
Also, with ratio sites a lot of people download high demand files (which are obviously the highest priority targets for fakes) even if they have no intention of consuming that media. They just want the ratio. They may not even open the files, or even keep track of them at all. They just dump some high demand torrents onto a seedbox and forget about it.
On a side note, I think that when the internet goes to metered pricing we will see much better curation of torrent sites, because people don't want to pay by the megabyte for fakes.

Fish in a barrel (2166 comments)
If you ban guns in America then the people doing the daily killings in Juarez Mexico will spill over into New Mexico and nearby Arizona and start killing and robbing people like fish in a barrel, helpless to defend themselves.
Sure, guns can create violence if used in violent ways, and bad people do just that, but don't be so naive as to think that if we throw down our guns the rest of the world will follow suit.

LOOKING UP: When propositional truth becomes personal truth, it's important, powerful
What is truth?
The question was not sincere. It was sarcastic, proffered by a frustrated bureaucrat stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Pilate, stuck between the decision to risk a rebellion or execute an innocent man, completely ignores the opportunity standing in front of him. John 18:38 says immediately after his sarcastic question, Pilate left the room without even sticking around to hear the answer.
Do you care about the answer?
Truth, in one sense, is simply a statement whose meaning reflects reality. It is congruent with objective facts. If asked to tell the truth, you would be expected to make such a statement.
We call this propositional truth. It proposes something, and it only reflects how things are. It is not reality itself. It is possible to be wrong about it. We might perceive reality differently, and thus make different statements about it.
On the one hand, part of Jesus' job on earth was to make the most reliable truth claims ever. Pilate's sarcastic remark was in response to Jesus' claim that he had come to "bear witness to the truth," John 18:37.
Simply knowing this truth doesn't mean a hill of beans, however. I firmly believe that there will be people in hell who know that Jesus died for their sins as a matter of propositional truth. I was almost one of them. At the very least, we know the demons know the gospel, and it doesn't do them a lick of good (see James 2:19). Knowing it as a fact cannot save you.
That's because propositional truth, though important, is weak. Not only did Jesus come to testify to the truth, but he is, in himself, the truth. He is the God who named himself, "I Am." There is nothing that is that exists apart from him. He is the ultimate reality. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me," John 14:6. When we approach Jesus as a person and as God rather than as an historical fact, propositional truth becomes personal truth, and that kind of truth is not only important, but powerful. It's at least powerful enough to save you.
So how do you know Jesus? Is he an historical fact? Someone you know for sure lived?
Or is he at the core of who you are? Is he the source of who you are? Is he someone you know for sure lives?
A poor, outcast Samaritan woman asked Jesus a similar question by a well in John 4. If Pilate had stuck around for an answer, I believe Jesus would have told the proud, confused and desperate governor the same thing he told that humble, confused and desperate woman. What is truth? Jesus says, "I am."

Square Enix has launched a new Sleeping Dogs trailer focused on the upcoming title's melee combat.
French Canadian mixed martial artist and the current UFC Welterweight Champion Georges 'Rush' St-Pierre has lent his fighting know-how to developer United Front Games, as revealed in the movie below.
And what do you get when you mix a UFC champ's knowledge with a game set in a "visceral open-world" Hong Kong? "Next level melee combat," according to publisher Square.
"Fighting is not just physical, it's about who has the most knowledge," St-Pierre says.
Square Enix has confirmed a Sleeping Dogs August 14 release date in the US, with the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC game set to hit Europe three days later. The game has been censored in Japan, where it has received an Adults Only rating, meaning consumers will have to ask for the game by name at store counters.

And whether it's due to ADHD as strictly defined, or another state of mind that has fewer, if any, explanatory pages in any psychiatric or psychological textbook, a sizable number of children growing up in single-parent families have an extra hard time concentrating on their school work as well as on other things in their lives, in substantial measure because of tensions at home.
Do I recognize that such contentions invite any number of objections, the most agitated ones grounded in allegations that I am just making excuses? Keenly, I do. But I can't recall any educator, or anyone else for that matter, ever disagreeing when I've expanded on the case with the care and nuance it demands. As Professor Yogi Berra would say, they all have observed a lot by just watching.
LOPEZ: What is the most encouraging fact about the state of the family in the U.S.? Please tell me there is something.
LOPEZ: Could the pastoral work in prisons by Prison Fellowship and others do some of the most important, under-appreciated cultural work there is?
PEARLSTEIN: That's true without question, and my happy sense is that fewer obstructionists now see groups such as Prison Fellowship, founded by Chuck Colson, as representing mortal assaults to the wall separating church from state and cell.
LOPEZ: You once asked Bill Bennett, when he was education secretary, "How does one go about changing the very culture?" And he said, as you relay, that one should "say what was true in his heart and say it over and over and over again." But what does that mean in a culture with changing assumptions about truth?
PEARLSTEIN: When has the United States ever had locked-in-place cultural assumptions about truth? The best we can do is the best we can do, animated by courage and alive to grace.

Hi everyone, I'm Jeff Morell. I'm a junior from Atlanta, GA, in the Chemical and Biological Engineering department. I'm also a certificate student in the Woodrow Wilson School. Originally a member of Butler College, I've defected over to Wilson for my final two years at Princeton, so I'll be new to Wilson as well. Around campus, I'm the President of the International Relations Council (which is a Model UN club, despite the pretentious name) and play saxophone in the Princeton University Wind Ensemble. I look forward to meeting everyone in the fall, and welcome to Wilson!"

Killer Apartment Vs. Persistent Microwave Exposure?
and you even consider buying it? (791 comments)
When you are already in doubt that this radiation could be a serious health risk, why do you still consider buying it? When in 10 years the radiation is known to cause longterm damage, it will be too late.
