Funny: Cold Days
- The first line:
"Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness, has unique ideas on physical therapy.
- And there is the video montage Dresden suggests for said therapy. To the Foo Fighters "Walk" - which is very appropriate on top of it.
- The most hilarious part of the whole thing is how Mab tops the physical therapy process: she just flat out unloads a drum-fed, automatic Russian shotgun into his face at point-blank range. Something about the image of this literal queen with epic, eye-watering beauty and grace blasting away with a giant shotgun is freaking hilarious.
- Dame Helen Mirren wielding a Browning M2 HB heavy machine gun in RED is quite close to that image, in case someone lacks vivid imagination.
- Harry and Sarissa walk into a dark ice cavern. Suddenly, all manner of light and sound blaze forth from nowhere and Harry prepares to fling fire at whatever's in his way. It's his birthday party. Complete with all the fae you could imagine, including the trolls and goblins and other monsters, singing "Happy Birthday" while sprites form a floating HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY DRESDEN banner over him.
- The Erlking doing, what can only be described as... well, the "Bitch please"-face, with appropriate line:
"Wizard, please."
- "Wait. Your job is... you're BFFs with Mab?" (It Makes Sense in Context)
- "Hey, weren't there seven of you guys a minute ago?"
- "Hey, weren't there six of you guys a minute ago?"
- Much of Cat Sith's dialogue is darkly hilarious.
- Harry's completely justified reaction to being informed that, on top of everything else on his plate already, the island Demonreach is getting ready to explode and take out half the Midwest.
Harry: Of course it is. I swear, this stupid town. Why does every hideous supernatural thing that happens happen here? I'm gone for a few months and augh. Be right back. Grrssll frrrsl rassle mrrrfl.
- Discussing the classic Grandfather Paradox:
Dresden: So if I go back in time and kill my grandfather, what happens?
Vadderung: He beats you senseless, I suspect.
- The Tao of Pratchett: Build a man a fire and you warm him for a day. Set a man on fire and you warm him for the rest of his life.
- Harry observing that Maeve has been Vajazzled.
- And then there's his new nickname for her: Little Miss Spanglecrotch.
- When Maeve showed up wearing diamonds and nothing else, Harry made an "I almost showed up wearing the same thing!" joke.
- There's Harry's line as he's breaking into Butters' apartment to get Bob back.
Harry: One day, one brave and magnificent day, I will actually be cool.
- For the first half of the book, Harry has been menaced by Captain Hook, a faerie who rivals Toot-Toot in the Badass department. The kicker. She's a girl. Toot-Toot couldn't say more than Wow for some time.
- Words are used by wizards as a safe way to channel their magic. They can mean anything or nothing. The words Harry used to set an iceberg up and keep a barge from running aground? "Rexus Mundus", which translates literally into "I'm the king of the world."
- Thomas is talking about the gear he has for his boat:
Thomas: I even have a sextant.
Harry: Any tent you own is a sex-tent.
- Kris Kringle putting his foot down on Holiday Creep.
Kris: Not until after Halloween. Enough is enough, I'm drawing the line.
- Bob and Demonreach. They have synergy when snarking together.
Demonreach: LESSER BEINGS ONCE KNEW TO RESPECT THEIR ELDERS.
Bob: I respect the crap out of you. You want me to help, and I'm telling you how.
Bob: You see what I'm working with here? I had to simplify [an incredibly complicated magical situation] down to throwing a rock.
- And later...
Demonreach: HIS UNDERSTANDING IS LIMITED.
- Bob explaining Harry the nature of the island, by projecting a movie, complete with the 20th Century Fox logo, Star Wars-ish opening, Sir Alec Guiness as Merlin, a romantic subplot (involving pornstar Jenna Jameson, of course), obvious subtitles, rifftrax from Harry, and fast-forwarding it when Dresden asks him to cut the crap.
- Harry also lampshades the Lawyer-Friendly Cameo, and then fails to get Bob's special hell reference, and is really irritated by it.
- The fact that Demonreach referred to Molly also as "Grasshopper" was rather amusing.
- All of Harry's dialogue with Lacuna.
Lacuna: Perhaps you have brain damage.
Harry: It would not shock me in the least.
Lacuna: Would you like me to cut open your skull and check, my lord?
- Harry using his own less than elegant plans as proof he's telling the truth:
Harry: Maybe youre giving me way more credit for cunning than Im due. You know how I work. How often do I get to a neat, elegant solution that ties everything up? Can you look at me right now and honestly say to yourself, Dresden, that wily genius! This must be a part of his master plan?
I spread my hands and looked up at him expectantly. Fix looked at me, dirty, naked, shivering, burned, bruised, covered in soot and ash.
Fix: Fuck.
- Toot-Toot's attempt to court Lacuna and her response to it, which consists of punching him in the face and calmly going back to eating celery.
Harry: How random.
- Also Toot-Toot and Harry's shock that Lacuna hates pizza. She likes celery.
- Toot-Toot's knowledge of mortal slang is a little... limited at times.
Harry: I'm on a case. I'll need someone to watch my back.
Toot-Toot: Learn forward a little, my lord. Hey, Kernel Purpleweed! Come watch the Za Winter Lord Knight's back!
Harry: No, that's a metaphor.
Toot-Toot: I don't know what it's for.
- Harry realizing the Gatekeeper's job description is more literal than he thought. He's brought to see the Gatekeeper at The Outer Gates, and it goes something like, "Rashid the Gatekeeper? What is he doing here?" (stops, looks at the stupidly big gate he's standing right next to, realization sets in) "...Oh."
Harry: Those are supposed to be a metaphor.
- "Oh, my God...we're his flunkies!"
- Thomas responds to this by claiming that he's Harry's thug, which is a higher rank.
- And later in the conversation, Harry promotes Molly to lackey. She reacts with sarcastic joy.
- Harry's completely naked, for a perfectly good reason, and under a bad veil. He ends up standing in-front of some people who can easily tell there is a veil. He knows that it is useless to keep the veil up but instead drops it down to his own homemade censor blur.
- In a very tragic-yet-funny moment, Sarissa and Maeve's argument when Maeve claims that Sarissa's dress at the Court party at the beginning of the book was a ploy to get into bed with Harry.
Sarissa: Me? You were wearing rhinestones! And nothing else!
Maeve: They. Were. Diamonds!
- Most of Harry's conversations with Thomas.
- In regards to dealing with the growing threat that is Lara.
"Ill stick her on my to-do list, then," I said.
Thomas snorted.
"Not like that, I said. "Pervert."
- Another example is Harry's reaction to Thomas telling him that Justine is no longer screwing one woman in front of him so that they can safely be together...she's bringing him a steady stream of gorgeous girls so that he can be sufficiently well-fed not to harm her. Harry can only think "Totally not fair".
- Harry recalls naming the dock they built the Whatsup Dock, a pun so terrible that Thomas reacts by throwing him twenty feet into the lake. After getting out, he then blasts Thomas forty feet into the lake, because hey, what else can a brother do in that situation?
- In regards to dealing with the growing threat that is Lara.
- Upon learning that Andi has been kidnapped yet again Mouse opines (via empathy with Molly) that she should be locked in the garage until she learns to take care of herself.
- Harry has been loaned Cat Sith, a very powerful Fey of the Winter Court, as his battle butler. Harry, being the Winter Knight and knowing that no subject of the Court can kill him without Mab's say-so, enjoys taunting Cat Sith despite knowing just how powerful the fey cat actually is. The clincher comes at his final attempt to summon him: "Cat Sith! Kitty kitty kitty!"
- "My brother the...Geosexual?"
- Becomes a hilarious Brick Joke later during the Final Battle.
- The whole exchange with Harry and Thomas arguing over which television doctor makes a better snarky nickname for Butters:
Butters: My God. Youve been shot.
Thomas: Check out Dr. Marcus Welby, MD, here.
Harry: Id have gone with Doogie Howser, maybe.
Thomas: Split the difference at McCoy?
Harry: Perfect.
Butters: Youve been shot!
Thomas: Well. A little.
- Harry gets a little fed up with Mother Summer being cryptic:
I kept a straight face while my inner Neanderthal spluttered and then went on a mental rampage through a hypothetical produce sections, knocking over shelves and splattering fruit everywhere in sheer frustration, screaming, "JUST TELL ME WHOSE SKULL TO CRACK WITH MY CLUB, DAMNIT!"
Flippin' faeries. They will be the death of me.
- When Harry is visiting Mac's:
In Chicago, you can't swing a cat without hitting an Irish pub (and angering the cat), but McAnally's place stands out from the crowd.
- Later in that scene, he calmly turns to Thomas and asks where that expression came from. When Thomas is confused, Harry clarifies that he's talking about the "swinging a cat" metaphor, which was just part of his internal monologue. Thomas more or less just rolls his eyes.
- It's right smack dab in the middle of a Nightmare Fuel moment, but Mother Winter is almost Batman-esque in her ability to be so unfunny that she's funny.
Mother Winter: (as she's sharpening her cleaver) Mab is too much the romantic.
Which tells you everything you need to know about Mother Winter.
- Harry and Molly right outside Mac's, where Donnar Vadderrung is waiting.
Molly: I sense...
Dresden: Say it. You know you want to say it.
Molly: (exasperated) There is not a disturbance in the Force.
- The tail end of Harry and Murphy's big Conversation about their relationship and where it could be heading. It zig-zags between heartwarming, hilarious, and tear-jerking all at once.
Harry: And the sex, it will be frequent. Possibly violent. You'll be screaming. Neighbors will make phone calls. (after Murphy starts laughing) Those are my conditions. Take them or leave them.Murphy: You're such a pig, Dresden. Maybe you'll be the one screaming.
- Overlaps with heartwarming but Justine acting as a dietician for Thomas. Since you are what you eat and he feeds on life force she brings home ladies with attitudes that she feels he needs. He's feeling depressed? She brings home someone happy. Feeling stressed? Find someone who's relaxed and care free.

Originally published in IFC Caribbean Review 2012, pages 34-35.
ACCORDING TO THE LATEST STATISTICS released by the BVI Financial Services Commission, incorporation levels for BVI companies are now back to the levels seen before the global financial crisis. Perhaps unsurprisingly, volumes continue to be driven in large part by the BRIC economies, with Russia and CIS-based clients being a key reason for this success.
Historically, the popularity of the BVI with Russian clients was due to the double taxation treaties in place between Cyprus and many of the ex-Soviet states (Russia and Ukraine being the most prominent), where BVI companies formed part of so-called 'sandwich structures' (with the Russian asset at the bottom, which asset is wholly owned by a Cypriot holding company, which, in turn, is wholly owned by a BVI business company). Regular exposure to BVI companies as a result of these structures has also seen clients in Russia using BVI companies independently of Cypriot vehicles, often where taxation benefits are not the primary objective and where, for example, they wish to take advantage of the more straightforward company law regime in place in the BVI, as well as the additional layers of confidentiality in place for BVI companies (where the registers of directors and shareholders are not in the public domain, whereas they are in Cyprus).

Clearly, if "no other god" has any real power and, therefore, any real, substantive existence, it is grossly inappropriate that Israel should invest such an object with ultimacy. The [Hebrew] word...however, need not be rendered "idol." It is more properly rendered "image," a visible representation of Yahweh. The temptation, then, is not the creation of a rival that detracts from Yahweh, but an attempt to locate and thereby domesticate Yahweh in a visible, controlled object. This latter [...]
To you, O Lord, I call;
my rock, do not refuse to hear me,
for if you are silent to me,
I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.
Hear the voice of my supplication,
as I cry to you for help,
as I lift up my hands
toward your most holy sanctuary.
Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who are workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbors,
while mischief is in their hearts.
- Psalm 28:1-3
But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many members, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." On the contrary, the members of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable.
- 1 Corinthians 12:18-22

No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.

The world is overcome not through destruction, but through reconciliation. Not ideals, nor programs, nor conscience, nor duty, nor responsibility, nor virtue, but only God's perfect love can encounter reality and overcome it. Nor is it some universal idea of love, but rather the love of God in Jesus Christ, a love genuinely lived, that does this.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Meditations on the Cross
I come to my garden, my sister, my bride;
I gather my myrrh with my spice,
I eat my honeycomb with my honey,
I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, friends, drink,
and be drunk with love.
- Song of Songs 5:1
I sense that a new spirituality is being born in the church today, flowing from the wounded hearts of the weak and broken who are crying out for friendship. This friendship is also a source of healing for those who answer their cry.

Spiritual Journeys
For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another.
- Romans 12:3-5
[W]e see that our poverty is as absolute as that of the poorest of nations. We have attempted to deny the human condition in our quest for power after power. It would be well for us to rejoin the human race, to accept our essential poverty as a gift, and share our material wealth with those in need.

PARIS: Thrill is gone from this stinker
SAN DIEGO — Holiday Bowl pomp — check that.
Holiday Bowl pageantry — check that.
A thrilling Holiday Bowl — chuck that.
Texas and California played in the 34th Holiday Bowl, a game known for smoking scoreboards and a plethora of points.
Well, maybe next year.
Texas prevailed 21-10 Wednesday night in a game that featured more miscues than points, more blunders than beautiful plays, more junk than jazz.
Um, that Holiday Bowl slogan of it being America's Most Exciting Bowl Game? Well, let's hope no one gets sued for false advertising.
The competition finally found its legs as the game matured, after a first half that produced 10 points. The Holiday Bowl usually features that many during the national anthem.
"It was a pretty ugly first half for both teams offensively,'' Texas coach Mack Brown said.
That imperfect 10 tied for the lowest-scoring opening 30 minutes in a Holiday Bowl since 2005.
Where was the Holiday Bowl electricity? Those annual edge-of-your-seat moments? They were harder to find than someone tempting fate by teasing Bevo, the massive longhorn in the stadium's corner.
The two teams — combined! — had only 165 yards and 10 first downs in the first half. There were missed opportunities, dropped passes, fumbles and follies.
The trouble was that neither team has a stellar quarterback, the kingpin to any sizzling offense.
Brown couldn't name his starter 24 hours before kickoff. He went with David Ash, thought about Case McCoy, and was restless for the days of Texas great Vince Young.
Possibly, that's why the first touchdown pass was caught by Ash instead of thrown by him. Ash was the recipient of some trickery after the snap, handing off to Malcolm Brown, who pitched the ball to Jaxon Shipley. He flipped it to Ash for a 4-yard reception, and the Longhorns had their first lead at 7-3.
"By the time I got it, I probably could have run it in,'' Shipley said. "But it was a designed pass, so I just lobbed it in there.''
If you don't think coaches have long memories, think again.
At the 2000 Holiday Bowl against Oregon, Texas was on the wrong end of a quarterback catching a touchdown pass. It was the Ducks' Joey Harrington on the receiving side, and the play was called by Jeff Tedford, the Cal coach who was then Oregon's offensive coordinator.
Brown, after all these years, gained revenge with what Ash called "an awesome" play.
"The Longhorn Network hired Joey Harrington, I think, just to make me mad,'' Brown said this week. "I have to see Joey every day. I have to hear him. I see that throw back to the quarterback every time I see his face.''
Cal, which had five turnovers, trotted out quarterback Zach Maynard (19-of-33 for 188 yards and an interception), and that likely left Tedford pining for Cal alum Aaron Rodgers.
Maybe the QB struggles explain why both teams came in with five losses and conference records south of respectability.

Celebrity Lounge
Originally Published: August 10, 2005By Scott Engel | ESPN Fantasy Games
KISS tribute artist Val Popovic, who recently starred in a full-length Showtime original movie, lives quite a fantasy life. Popovic isn't a well-known celebrity himself, but he certainly likes to replicate one. When he's not portraying his idol, Ace Frehley, for die-hard KISS fans all over the country, Popovic spends much of his free time playing fantasy football and watching the NFL. "When I'm playing Ace Frehley, I'm doing something special. I'm reproducing the music and image of one of the greatest guitarists ever," Popovic said. "When I'm not onstage as Ace, I'm a total Raiders fan. They make me get out of my seat and yell, much like people do at KISS concerts." Popovic plays in the tribute band Larger Than Life, which was featured in the Showtime original movie, Tribute: A Rockumentary. The film chronicles the ups and downs of Larger than Life and tribute bands for Judas Priest, Queen and the Monkees. Popovic is a main focus of the film, as he expresses his passion for playing his hero onstage and shows off his own smoking Les Paul guitar, the signature stage effect of Frehley during the classic KISS years. When Popovic isn't wearing silver and black Raiders garb, he's wearing silver makeup.

SPIN METER: Cue the Washington outrage
WASHINGTON Cue the outrage.
For months, the Obama administration and members of Congress have known that insurance giant AIG was getting ready to pay huge bonuses while living off government bailouts. It wasn't until the money was flowing and news was trickling out to the public that official Washington rose up in anger and vowed to yank the money back.
Why the sudden furor, just weeks after Barack Obama's team paid out $30 billion in additional aid to the company? So far, the administration has been unable to match its actions to Obama's tough rhetoric on executive compensation. And Congress has been unable or unwilling to restrict bonuses for bailout recipients, despite some lawmakers' repeated efforts to do so.
The situation has the White House and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on the defensive. The administration was caught off guard Tuesday trying to explain why Geithner had waited until last Wednesday to call AIG chief executive Edward M. Liddy and demand that the bonus payments be restructured.
Publicly, the White House expressed confidence in Geithner – but still made it clear he was the one responsible for how the matter was handled.
While administration officials insisted Tuesday that neither Obama nor Geithner learned of the impending bonus payments until last week, the problem wasn't new. AIG's plans to pay hundreds of millions of dollars were publicized last fall, when Congress started asking questions about expensive junkets the company had sponsored. A November SEC filing by the company details more than $469 million in "retention payments" to keep prized employees.
Back then, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, D-Md., began pumping Liddy for information on the bonuses and pressing him to scale them back. "There was outrage brewing already," Cummings said. "I'm saying (to Liddy), 'Be a good citizen. ... Do something about this.' "
Around the same time, outside lawyers hired by the Federal Reserve started reviewing the bonuses as part of a broader look at retention and compensation plans, according to government officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. The outside attorneys examined the possibility of making changes to the company plans – scaling them back, delaying them or rescinding them. They ultimately concluded that even if AIG's bonuses were withheld, the company would probably be sued successfully by its employees and be forced to pay them, the officials said.
In January, Reps. Joseph E. Crowley of New York and Paul E. Kanjorski of Pennsylvania wrote to the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department pressing the administration to scrutinize AIG's bonus plans and take steps against excessive payments.
"I at that point realized that we were going to have a backlash with regard to these bonuses," Kanjorski said in an AP interview. In a meeting with Liddy later that month, he said he told the AIG chief that "all hell would break loose if we didn't find a way to inform the public ... and that we should take every step to put that information out there so we wouldn't have the shock."

|Alternatively certified mathematics teachers: factors that contribute to changes in instruction over time
|Nivens, Ryan Andrew, 1975-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The focus of this study was the intersection of alternative certification for mathematics teaching, standards based teaching as described by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, and the No Child Left Behind Act that permitted alternatively certified teachers to be highly qualified. This study investigated the instructional practices of 25 alternatively certified mathematics teachers in the state of Missouri over three years. Using qualitative methods, observation and interview data were analyzed to reveal the primary mode of instruction used in the classrooms and analyzed the changes in instructional practices over time. Vignettes of teachers were created to illustrate the instructional practices, and case study teachers were chosen to document the changes over time and reveal associated factors. Six distinct instructional practices emerged from the data. The analysis of the changes over time revealed four types of teachers. Of those using a variety of practices, the factors of content-specific professional development and certification program support seemed to hold the largest influence on teacher growth in instructional repertoire. The findings of this study imply that certification programs should focus on educating their participants on the effective use of a range of instructional practices and should focus on support structures for teachers in the classrooms. Furthermore, building principals should support teachers with mathematics-specific professional development, especially for small rural schools.

The #Reds today claimed from Red Sox and added to 40-man roster RHP Pedro Beato (BEE-ahto) and outrighted C Corky Miller and RHP Greg Reynolds, both of whom have accepted free agency.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Just go ahead and mail the 2014 World Series trophy to Cincinnati after that move.

Seems like the Reds were tied to Beato in a trade rumor awhile back. May just be one of those guys that Walt likes.
The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.
Can't say that his stats leave me tingling with excitement.
From Dec 2010
Beato has appeared in only two games with the Licey Tigers in winter ball. He's made two relief outings, but has been working with Guy Conti, the winter-league team's pitching coach and a longtime Mets minor league instructor, on mechanics and getting the pitching concept straightened out.
"I've only seen him throw in the bullpen, But I'm excited about what I saw," Conti said. "I'm not excited about the extraordinary number of pitches. He's throwing every pitch that can be thrown. But he's got a power arm. I think [Mets pitching coach] Dan Warthen will mold and fix and hopefully he can pitch for us."

For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.
I don't underestimate Price and I know Walt has found some good arms on the cheap. Just said 'blah' when I looked but I'm not a scout either. What's interesting is the note about him throwing too may pitches. Wasn't that the problem with Parra? And when they streamlined his offerings he took off?

Miguel Temon & Luca Bondi
Luca Bondi stops by the SX Video studios to try out Miguel Temon's super-sized uncut cock, and being the cock craving pig bottom he is, skipped all the foreplay and dropped right to his knees to swallow dick. The cock-whore continued going down on Miguel's meat hungrily, deep-throating and lubing it up with thick slobber, until Miguel was through with his mouth and ready to move on to plugging the bottom's ripe hole. Miguel grabs Luca's huge 10'' Italian sausage, jerking it in his hand, before loosening up the ass he's about to fuck with his fingers. Miguel then bends him over the couch and slams his massive dick deep down Luca's hole, wasting no time stretching it out with quick stabbing cock-thrusts.

I just wanted to call and form a friendship...
Kevin Hart is all too familiar with dishing out the disses, but during Super Bowl XLIX weekend in Arizona, he found out the jokes were on him. The comedian was the subject of some Instagram humor thanks to Drake and Meek Mill, who both took jabs at him for an epic fashion fail -- wearing a skin-tight leather tank top.
It's all Bronx love on Jennifer Lopez's new track 'I Luh Ya Papi.' The stunning superstar enlists fellow Bronx native French Montana for the song, which is featured on her forthcoming 10th studio album.
Pretty soon Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon will have to start teaching a college course on the history of Rap, considering this is the fifth time they have explored the subject.
Drake is among a bevy of rappers who will be vying for a win at the 2014 Grammy Awards this Sun., Jan. 26. The Toronto rapper knows what it's like to win a golden gramophone after nabbing one for Best Rap album (for 'Take Care') in 2013. However, he says that winning a Grammy doesn't make or break him as an artist.
Drake is hosting and serving as the musical guest of 'SNL' this weekend (Jan. 18), a popular trend this season, with Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga recently pulling double duty.
The world was formally introduced to Flint's own Jon Connor when he closed out the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards "Jon Connor And Friends" cypher. Connor used the platform to make an announcement about signing with Dr. Dre and Aftermath as well.
Hip-hop's biggest crews gathered for the 2013 BET Hip Hop Awards, which aired on Tuesday (Oct. 15) night. The event, hosted by the Cali O.G. Snoop Lion -- a.k.a. Uncle Snoop -- is an annual celebration of the biggest and brightest stars in the rap game today and also tips a hat to the rappers of the past who have paved the way.
Pretty much everyone was excited for Drake's 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival performance on Saturday (Sept. 21), but probably no one more than Jaden Smith -- Drizzy wore his mug on his shirt for the show!

U.N. climate agency rejects Libyan claim; 134º now the record
"The WMO assessment is that the highest recorded surface temperature of 56.7 degrees C (134 degrees F) was measured on 10 July 1913" in Death Valley, the report said.
The announcement was made on Sept. 11, the same day as the attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, and thus drew little notice.
Though it is easy to forget on days when it is so hot that people dare not step out of their cars, part of the allure of Death Valley has always been — besides the staggering beauty of its canyons, mountains and sunsets — the sheer challenge of visiting it.
Burt said he had issues as well with the Death Valley claim of 134 degrees, and suspects it may be wrong. "It's anomalous, even for Death Valley," he said.
But no matter. Even if 134-Death Valley goes the way of 136.4-Libya, the temperature has most assuredly reached 129 degrees here in Furnace Creek at least three times, one of them recorded by Callaghan. And 129 is just as much a world record as 134.
"Death Valley would still win, so to speak, even if the 134 was erroneous," Burt said.

Pune: A child was allegedly brought to the city by a techie couple under the pretext of educating him. However, after a few months, they began to torture the 12-year-old boy. Some students staying in a nearby apartment, who saw this being done daily from their balcony, called a child helpline and the kid was rescued. Those who have been taken into custody are Pankaj Pande and his wife, Shweta, residents of Lunkand Gold Coast Society. The two have been arrested under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Juvenile Justice (care and protection of children) Act.
The incident came to light vafter Dyandevi Childline volunteer Sagar Gurav (27), a resident of Milindnagar in Pimpri, lodged a complaint at the Airport police station.
The victim, Kuldeep Tiwari, hails from Gogurpar in Balampur district of Uttar Pradesh. Kuldeep said: "I was 11 when Pande brought me. They had promised my parents to give me a good education. Later, I was asked to prepare food. When I refused, Pande use to beat me with wires and his belt. Many a time, I was not given food. They told me they were paying my parents Rs 2,000."
He added: "I used to take care of their 8-month-old child, wash his clothes, bathe and feed him." Childline volunteer Gurav said: "On Monday, we received an anonymous call at our helpline claiming a boy was being beaten. I alerted the police." Sub-inspector Haribhau Markand said: "The arrested techie, Pankaj, is working in a Kharadi-based IT company."
Anupam Siddhartha, Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication-under graduate, said: "We used to see this kid being beaten up." The Pandes were produced before the first class judicial magistrate. They were remanded in magisterial custody, but later granted bail after they furnished solvent security of Rs 15,000 each.

"We tried real hard to make a deal for the WEC, back when they still had a welterweight division, and we just couldn't come together … I talked to them again, and (WEC matchmaker) Sean Shelby and (UFC matchmaker) Joe Silva and I got together and worked it all out."
Frank "Twinkle Toes" Trigg, 37, hasn't competed in the UFC since 2005. Trigg went 2-3 in the UFC, two of those losses were to then UFC welterweight champ Matt Hughes (UFC 45 and UFC 52).
Trigg has gone 4-0 as of late, racking up wins over Edwin Dewees, Makoto Takimoto, Falaniko Vitale and Danny Babcock.
kewl ol twinky toes is back i hope he does well …i like him for some reason
Hell yeah Frank Trage is back baby..
Fitch vs Frank would be sick…Kos vs Frank would be a good one..Matt huge vs Frank 3 haha
I hope money is motivating him to do this cuz I doubt dude will go anywhere in this WW division. If he looks to capture the belt then dude might as well not even fight in the UFC
I would like to see Trigg fight Matt Serra. A fight with Koscheck would be good to.
of course its about the money…. mo money mo money mo money ..at least a paycheck im sure .. its not like he has been real busy as of late .. i dont see him dominating either but . at least hes back
triggs a good fighter he will never beat GSP but he is still a force to wreckin with if it wasnt for hughes an GSP he woulda been champion. Good addition to an all ready stacked welter weight division. Makes more matchups since Swick wont figh Fitch or Kos. I too would like to see him fight Serra.

Rosol Saves 2 M.P. To Win Winston-Salem Crown
Winston-Salem, U.S.A.
by ATP Staff|
Lukas Rosol lifted his second ATP World Tour trophy after saving two match points to win 3-6, 7-6(3), 7-5 against Jerzy Janowicz at the Winston-Salem Open final on Saturday.
The 29 year old fought off two match points against his 6'8" opponent as he served at 4-5 in the deciding set. Rosol went on to break Janowicz in the following game, and capped the triumph with his 13th ace.
"I just focused on my games, especially while I was serving," said Rosol. "I waited patiently to see if he would give me a chance on his serve, and he did. I didn't start out well, but I finished strong."
"[Players] can make a comeback, whatever the score," Janowicz said. "[Rosol] served well.
"Losses happen. This is not my first - and hopefully will not be my last - final. I'm looking forward to the next tournament. I am playing well. I had a great week here in Winston-Salem," Janowicz added.
Rosol has experienced a resurgence of late, reaching the quarter-finals or better at his past five tournaments. His previous three final outings came last year in Bucharest (d. Garcia-Lopez) and this year in Bucharest (l. to Dimitrov) and Stuttgart (l. to Bautista Agut). He joins Tomas Berdych (Rotterdam) as the second Czech winner on the ATP World Tour this year.
The Brno native collected $80,280 and 250 Emirates ATP Rankings points for his victory and will climb six places to a career-high No. 27 in the Emirates ATP Rankings on Monday. The 23-year-old Janowicz, for his runner-up finish, will rise from No. 52 to 43; he earned $45,705 and 150 Emirates ATP Rankings points.
Janowicz was bidding to become the first player from Poland to win an ATP World Tour title since Wojtek Fibak claimed the Chicago trophy in 1982. Today he was competing in his second final, almost two years after losing the BNP Paribas Masters title match to David Ferrer in 2012.

These went on pretty easy. The instructions were general I assume because these had straps and hooks that were supposed to attach somewhere under the seat and the instructions didn't mention any of this but it was obvious enough what needed to be done. Fit is nice and snug on the seat and seat back. The material is comfortable and looks durable but I've only had them a couple of weeks. The color (light grey/platinum) was lighter than the picture but still looks good.

Chiron Vision to acquire J&J's IOLAB surgical division for $95 million and will restructure.
The acquisition will expand and strengthen Chiron Vision's product offering for cataract surgeries by adding a preferred viscoelastic, a diverse line of intraocular lenses (IOLs), synergies in advanced phacoemulsification instruments and an established customer base to augment its existing business. Chiron Vision and IOLAB are leading suppliers of intraocular lenses and related products for cataract surgeries, each with 1994 sales of about $100 million. The combination will strengthen Chiron Vision's position as a major supplier in the worldwide ophthalmic surgical market. The transaction has cleared all necessary U.S. regulatory approvals.
To reduce costs and capitalize on potential economies of scale from the integration of the two organizations, Chiron Vision will consolidate its IOL manufacturing in Lyon, France, at the facilities of DomiLens, Chiron Vision's subsidiary acquired in May 1994, and at IOLAB's plant in Claremont, Calif., which also will become the combined company's headquarters.
Timing for the consolidation of manufacturing facilities will depend upon establishment license approvals, but will begin following the combination of the two companies and is expected to be completed in approximately two years. The headquarters relocation and an organizational restructuring to globalize and streamline Chiron's research and development, scientific affairs, marketing, finance and management functions, also will begin immediately following the completion of the acquisition.
The proposed purchase by Chiron Vision will result in a charge to Chiron's earnings in the first quarter of 1995 for the acquisition of in-process technology and an additional charge for restructuring and other related expenses.
"The ophthalmic surgery market has been a challenging environment to achieve consistent profitability, but will be attractive for companies that emerge from the current consolidation pressures as clearly established global product and market leaders," said William J. Link, Ph.D., chief executive officer of Chiron Vision. "The acquisition of IOLAB together with the concurrent restructuring and streamlining of the combined operations will help ensure long-term leadership in global ophthalmic surgical markets by giving us a stronger platform from which to launch novel products. Cost reductions from productivity gains will enable Chiron Vision to be a more competitive company while we invest in promising vision correction products such as our intraocular drug delivery implant and corneal inlay lens for presbyopia."
"Both Chiron Vision and IOLAB have an excellent reputation with our customers for delivering products of high value that meet their needs currently and as they evolve over time," Link continued. "IOLAB's Amvisc is a highly regarded viscoelastic, a key cataract surgery product that Chiron Vision has lacked. We will enhance our phaco instrument line by combining technologies. IOLAB also is a leader in selling bundled ophthalmic products, which is of increasing importance to buying groups and managed care organizations who play an important role in the marketplace. Chiron has been a leader in providing foldable IOLs, the fastest-growing market segment, and in refractive surgical products such as advanced excimer lasers and corneal shapers. We expect a seamless transition in the market, and more efficient performance in both the near and long term."
"Chiron Vision has been and will continue to be an important component of Chiron's strategy for building sustainable presences in attractive markets in the global healthcare marketplace," said Edward E. Penhoet, Ph.D., Chiron president and chief executive officer. "We are optimistic about the potential for Chiron Vision's ganciclovir intraocular implant, which has shown significant improvement over current therapy in treating CMV retinitis in AIDS patients. We will submit regulatory applications for this product shortly. We also expect Chiron Vision's market position will enable us to launch potential diagnostics and therapeutics from Chiron's technology into the ophthalmic market. As a result of our new partnership with Ciba, we also foresee significant potential value in collaborating with Ciba Vision, which in 1994 acquired the pharmaceutical division of IOLAB from Johnson & Johnson."
In conjunction with the IOLAB acquisition and subsequent restructuring, David Morrison, currently president of Chiron Vision international operations, will become president and chief operating officer of the combined company. Morrison joined Chiron Vision in 1994 with significant international healthcare experience, including as European general manager of the Oral-B division of Gillette and as manager of Europe for Cooper Vision.
Chiron Corp., headquartered in Emeryville, applies biotechnology and other techniques of modern biology and chemistry to develop products intended to improve the quality of life by diagnosing, preventing and treating human disease. Chiron participates in four markets: diagnostics, including immunodiagnostics; critical care diagnostics and quantitative bDNA probe tests; therapeutics for cancer and infectious disease, adult and pediatric vaccines; and ophthalmic instruments and devices used for the surgical correction of vision. A fifth business, Chiron Technologies, manages development of new technologies from the Company's research including a new generation of chemical therapeutics being developed through advanced techniques of drug design and discovery, and a program in gene therapy.

Tips for Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your Driving Needs
When you visit the Dodge dealership, you will have an extensive inventory of models to choose from. The new Dodge lineup includes stunning sedans and versatile crossovers that will meet the needs of a variety of driving styles. To get the most from your trip to the Dodge dealership, it is a good idea to consider what type of vehicle will be the right pick for you. Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind when you are choosing a new vehicle.
Interior space is an important factor to consider when you are shopping for a new vehicle. If you have a family, or are planning on hauling larger items, you may be suited to a crossover or SUV model. For those drivers who do not require additional space, a sedan may be a great choice for daily drives.
Fuel Efficiency
Fuel efficiency is another factor to think about when you are comparing new cars. If you are planning on commuting longer distances, you may want to select a new vehicle that offers outstanding fuel economy. Each member of the Dodge lineup, from the sedans to the SUVs, will provide you with the best level of efficiency for all of your drives.
When you are shopping for a new car, it is important to consider all of the technological features that are available to you. New Dodge models can be equipped with the Uconnect system, which will provide you with hands free access to your phone, favorite media, and more. If you want to stay connected on the go, it is important to purchase a technologically advanced vehicle.

Welcome Back MESA Students ~ Spring 2015!
We hope you had a wonderful holiday break and are ready for another exciting and productive term in the MESA Program and in your courses. We wanted to notify you of a few important items of business as you begin your spring 2015 term.
- Just a friendly reminder to please be respectful that the center is a STUDY center and your GPA is very important to your educational success. We welcome group study and working together to support one another's academic success. Please respect your peers and behave in ways that promote your academic success and that of your peers.
- The MESA Center will be open throughout the term Monday through Wednesday 9AM – 6PM; Thursday 9AM – 5PM; and Friday 9AM – 2PM. For those of you who have not heard, Dorine missed us so much she came back! We are so fortunate to have her knowledge and high level of dedication serving our students. Our move to "one location" with the STEM Center has been postponed until fall 2015.
- We will be continuing to offer supplemental instruction workshops for your academic success. This term we are offering weekly review sessions and organized study groups for Physics 161, Physics 162, Biology 150, Biology 154, Biology 128, Engineering 161/162, Engineering 154, Engineering 156, Chemistry 150, and Anthropology 101. You may review the schedule of session offerings as well as our tutor availability at http://www.hancockcollege.edu/mesa/aew-tutoring-schedules.php
- If you haven't met with Christine Reed, MESA Counselor/Coordinator recently, please make an appointment to do so. It is important that every MESA student meet with her sometime between January and May to verify you are on track academically. Please work with Dorine to schedule an appointment after the first two weeks of classes.
- If you have not had a chance to utilize the MESA website regularly, please get in the habit of checking it at least every two weeks for news and important information. All MESA/STEM events, activities, field trips, and workshops are posted on the website, as well as the Review Sessions/Organized Study Groups and tutoring schedules. There is also lots of other useful information. You can access the website by visiting the main Hancock site and selecting MESA from the student services menu or the Quick Links. Here is also a link to it: http://www.hancockcollege.edu/mesa/index.php
- The STEM/MESA Activities and Workshop schedule for the term is completed and posted to the MESA website. It is required that all MESA students attend at least 3 activities/workshops within the term. If you are experiences difficulties attending, you must notify me and explain your circumstances. We will be taking attendance and electronically keeping records of your MESA involvement. I think you will find the workshops valuable and a good use of your time. Please visit http://www.hancockcollege.edu/mesa/documents/Calendar%20of%20Events.pdf to review the times, dates, location, and topics.
- If you are planning to transfer to university fall 2015, please check your email regularly for updates and deadline notifications from the universities. Make sure to stay connected to the MESA program as you prepare to transition to the next level (exciting!). We will be holding "Outta Here" workshops this term for those students accepted to universities to help you in making a successful transition. Every MESA student who is preparing to transfer fall 2015 is required to attend one of these workshops (and I think you will find the experience invaluable).
- The MESA/STEM Club is on hold this year in order to allow us, as a team, to evaluate its focus and plan for the future. Christine will be looking for volunteers this year to join the STEM student team to bring the Club back in fall 2015.
We look forward to seeing all you wonderful people in the MESA Center soon. If there is anything we can do to help you get off to a great start this term, please feel free to let us know.
Take Care and Happy Spring 2015!
Christine and Dorine

When I joined MESA I found an atmosphere of very intelligent students, in which I have made friendships that are strengthened by our commitment to success. I am 31 years old and work full-time in order to support my growing family. Time management is vital to my success, and it has taken a while to find the right "recipe" of balance between school, work and family. MESA has given me important resources in the form of tutoring, access to potential internships, and help with the cost of books.

Kids are different, families are different, needs are different. I'm sure you know exactly what your kid needs at any give time - and trust me, this will change many times over the course of your path in getting him/her to the top. We have to assume that the parents of these kids are doing what they feel is best for them. And by the way - there are many top girls that became successful without playing USTA juniors - not just Venus and Serena - Maria Sharapova, Monica Seles (played very little). In fact, I have seen some of your posts where you stated that the top of the 10's, 12's, 14's, etc almost never make it as a pro. These girls are all still very young and have plenty of time to train and play. Just because they didn't compete in the 10's and 12's doesn't necessarily mean that they will not compete in ITF's . More and more parents are becoming frustrated with the USTA and would rather not play.
Not to mention taking into account for the type of game being taught to them. If they are being taught to have a big serve, big groundies, big weapons, etc then - as you have stated before - this will not translate at the junior level. I'll be anxiously awaiting your thoughts about this when your kid starts to compete.
silver...please reread my last post. I said no one knows what method makes a champion. I said maybe this method will work with these girls.
All I am saying is that these parents should stop saying they are doing what Richard Williams did....because the Williams sisters did play juniors for years.
These dads are welcome to shout from the mountains that they think they have the next # 1 player.....but they should not think they are following the Williams model with regards to juniors.

IT'S the planetary equivalent of a family portrait. An image snapped from Earth reveals the chemical contents of four worlds at once – the first result in a push to characterise whole solar systems, not just individual planets.
The portrait, of the star HR 8799 and its four massive planets, is spectral, meaning it splits the light from planets into its constituent wavelengths to reveal molecules in their atmospheres. This in turn gives clues about how life-friendly they may be.
Previously, only a handful of planets had had their spectra measured, and most were worlds that crossed in front of their stars, or transits, as viewed from Earth, meaning only individual planets have been clocked in one go.
By contrast, Project 1640, an international collaboration named after the wavelength of infrared light at which it works best – 1640 nanometres – uses advanced imaging techniques that block the light from stars. This leaves only the light from planets, including ones that don't transit, and means light from all the planets in a system can be detected simultaneously.
The 1640 team used the Hale telescope at California's Palomar Observatory to capture the HR 8799 system. But more spectra are coming. The project has begun a three-year campaign to survey 200 stars within 150 light years of our solar system.

|Meta-analysis of quality of life outcomes following diabetes self-management training
|Cochran, Jane Ellen
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Diabetes is a common chronic illness that requires daily diet, exercise, and medication management. Both disease management and diabetes complications may affect quality of life. Despite the importance of quality of life outcomes, no previous meta-analyses have synthesized findings from diabetes self-management intervention studies. Extensive literature searching located published and unpublished diabetes self-management intervention studies that measured quality of life outcomes among at least 5 subjects with type 1 or 2 diabetes. Exhaustive searching yielded 20 comparisons across 1,892 subjects. The comparisons between treatment and control group outcomes following interventions yielded an effect size of 0.281. The comparisons between treatment group at baseline and outcome measurement yielded an effect size of 0.312 to 0.313. Each of these effect sizes were statistically significant, meaning that the hypothesis that interventions to improve diabetes self-management results in increased quality of life outcomes was supported. Control subjects did not experience improved quality of life while participating in studies. These findings document that people with diabetes experience improved quality of life from participation in interventions designed to increase diabetes self- management.

For every gain in deep certitude there is a corresponding growth of superficial "doubt." This doubt is by no means opposed to genuine faith, but it mercilessly examines and questions the spurious "faith" of everyday life, the human faith which is nothing but the passive acceptance of conventional opinion.
