SGI-Hong Kong's Senior Citizens Meet
On April 15, 2007, some 1,500 members of SGI-Hong Kong's Many Treasures Group--made up of senior citizens--gathered for a general meeting at the Hong Kong Culture Center. In a message, SGI President Daisaku Ikeda paid tribute to their pioneer efforts that have led to the development of the SGI-Hong Kong organization. Father and son Chan Shing and Chan Wai Yin shared their experience of overcoming discord and creating a harmonious family together by applying the humanistic philosophy of Nichiren Buddhism. Following choral performances celebrating the event, Women's Group Chair Chow Yu Pui Jane called on everyone to lead lives of great fulfillment and value while continuing to challenge their personal human revolution, or positive inner reformation. She asserted that Buddhist activities that encourage participation in discussions and dialogues with others serve as the wellspring of good physical and mental health. Men's Group Chair Fung Dick Wong reminded the participants, "There is no retirement in our practice of faith. With Mr. Ikeda and his ceaseless effort as a role model, let's live out our lives with a youthful spirit."
[Adapted from an article in the April 23, 2007 issue of the Seikyo Shimbun, Soka Gakkai, Japan]

I took my son to Oak Mountain Friday morning, by Friday night he had a 105 degree fever and diarrhea started soon after. Found out today that he has strep throat and it all started after we left the beach at oak mountain. I am in no way affiliated with Everest Academy, and did not even go on the same day... My son's doctor has encountered SEVERAL families today whose children have become ill after a visit to Oak Mountain at the end of last week . Just a warning to all those doubting the seriousness and validity of this claim. I found it to be a little odd too in the beginning, but after leaving my child's doctor, I do believe that there is, or at the very least was an issue with the water.

I don't want to be in my brother's wedding?
should I tell him? Am I wrong for not wanting to be in the wedding? I told him I would but I really don't want to. Also, I have a second brother,... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
No, I disagree with the other posters. That is the point of ASKING someone because there could be one of two answers and not all of the time will it be "yes". I am sure it's a little different for guys because the groomsmen don't really have to do much. But for females, there is a lot. The bride would expect her girls to actually help run errands and plan the many events leading up to the wedding and it's actually taking on responsibility and if a female honestly did not feel like being a part of all of that, that is her decision. There is also an expense that comes along with it that not everyone can afford. If you are not the best man or one of the groomsmen, you would not be wearing a tux, just a suit (unless it's a really formal black tie affair-which I doubt because most weddings aren't). It should not reflect on your friendship or your "brotherly bond". I really would not want to be a bridesmaid to either my sister or my friends. Not because I don't love them or wish them the best, but because it's not my personality to do all that. I am much more a spectator. Standing on the altar with you does not mean I support you any more or any less than sitting witht the guests. I also don't plan to have a bridal party for my wedding. It's my wedding and if I want it to be an "event" then I will take care of planning it or hire someone to do so. People tend to use their friends and family for free labor and I personally don't feel that's what a wedding day should be about. If I invite you it's because I want you to have a good time not do the grunt work for me. I don't think you're selfish. If your brother was any type of brother he'd understand your personality and not take it as a personal attack that you would rather be a spectator. I personally would not want anyone in my family or life to do anything they did not want to do. How happy am I gonna be when I look at your face and you are acting like you don't want to be there? If you want to volunteer to help, that's one thing, but people always feel obligatetd to help for the same reasons the other two posters put and I think it's pointless and mean. But that's my view...
What Girls Said 1
What Guys Said 2
That's pretty selfish to not want to be a part of your brothers wedding. You should be supporting him, unless you have a very good reason you don't want to be a part of it. I don't see the problem, the only difference if you weren't in the wedding is you would be sitting during the ceremony instead of standing with all the other groomsmen. Stop being a baby.
I support his marriage and everything but I would rather just be in the audience instead. Is that still selfish? I don't like dealing with the standards of the bride and groom. A lot of pressure to do EXACTLY what they like. In addition I don't like the cost.
You are going to be wearing a tux anyways? And it's not costing you anything to be standing up there. Yes I think it is selfish to turn down your brother. He wants you to be there by his side when he gets married. Stop acting like it's such a big inconvenience for you, it's not.

High school dropouts cost economy billions
WASHINGTON — High school dropouts are costing some $1.8 billion in lost tax revenue every year, education advocates said in a report released Monday.
If states were to increase their graduation rates, state and federal lawmakers could be plugging their budgets with workers' taxes instead of furloughing teachers, closing drivers-license offices and cutting unemployment benefits. While advocates tend to focus on the moral argument that all children deserve a quality education, they could just as easily look at budgets' bottom lines.
"This has huge economic implications," said John Bridgeland, president and CEO of Civic Enterprises, a public policy group that helped write the report.
That's part of the reason Education Secretary Arne Duncan on Monday introduced a three-year, $15 million effort to put AmeriCorps members in 60 of the nation's worst schools. About 650 AmeriCorps members are going to try to raise graduation rates, increase math and reading skills and prepare more students for college.
"Turning around our nation's lowest-performing schools is challenging work that requires everyone to play a part — from teachers, administrators and counselors to business leaders, the philanthropic sector and community members," Duncan said.

Concord Grape Glaze
November 30th 2011By Chef Laura Frankel
The smell of fresh Concord grapes is as intoxicating as an orchard of fragrant blossoms. The flavor of Concord grapes is crisp and clean with a balanced sweetness. Fresh Concord grapes are a world apart from their canned, jellied, and jarred counterparts. The processed grapes are cloyingly sweet with none of the brightness of the fresh ones. This Concord Grape Glaze is an aigre doux (sweet and sour) sauce with aromatic attitude. Sweet, sour, and so fragrant, it is sure to become a family favorite. The sauce nicely complements the flavor of turkey and is amazing on duck and chicken. It can be made up to 2 days before serving.

Andy Benoit's Ten Things to Watch
Rise of "two tights"
New England's success with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez over the past two years opened a lot of eyes. The two dynamic, movable chess pieces created glaring matchup problems and invaluable flexibility with formations. The duo is no more, obviously, but there will be others popping up around the league. The Bengals, Cowboys, Titans, Eagles, Cardinals and Rams all made significant offseason moves to give themselves a dual tight end offense. Couple this with the handful of teams that already had that, and roughly half the league will regularly be playing "two tight" in 2013.
Read-option smackdown
We'll see how many offenses stick with the read-option once unblocked defensive ends figure out they can drill the quarterback even when he hands off.
More pistol
Even if the read-option abates, pistol sets should surge. Offenses are realizing that pistol is essentially a quicker version of the shotgun, only with more play-action capabilities. It doesn't always require the quarterback to run. Heck, even Peyton Manning's Broncos experimented with the new set in August.
More S – P – R – E – A – D
NFL offenses will continue to stretch horizontally. Some will even do it on nearly a fulltime basis. Four intriguing storylines from four different teams that are transforming their once-traditional systems into spreads: A.) How will the Rams use Tavon Austin? B.) How will Chip Kelly's play designs function on NFL fields, where tighter hashmarks leave less perimeter space to work with? C.) Can Philip Rivers prosper by throwing more quick-hitter type passes? D.) Can Jay Cutler?
A premium on man coverage
Offenses will continue to spread, and they'll continue to use more hurry-up. The hidden benefit of hurry-up is it's a great way to combat complex defensive looks. When the ball is snapped immediately, the defense doesn't have time to disguise anything and is forced to play reactively.
Schematically, man coverage is the simplest way to defend spread sets and the hurry-up. It nullifies the spacing issues that most spread designs aim to exploit and requires minimal presnap communication. What's more, in man coverage, defenders can pick up receivers immediately off the line of scrimmage, as opposed to a few yards downfield. That combats the quick strike throws that spreads and hurry-ups are largely built on.
Breakout stars
On offense, it's Packers wideout Randall Cobb. Mike McCarthy will employ a variety of tactics—including presnap motion and backfield alignments—to get the shifty, versatile third-year pro in space. Expect Cobb to have around 1,500 yards from scrimmage as the fulcrum of Green Bay's offensive attack. On defense, it's Everson Griffen. The fourth-year Vikings defensive end has sensational speed and pliable body control. He can play anywhere along the defensive front. If afforded enough playing time, Griffen will have a 15-sack season.
Super Bowl stepbacks
Losing key passing targets Anquan Boldin and Dennis Pitta and overhauling half the defense (with some good changes but also some bad) will prevent the Ravens from defending their Lombardi Trophy. 7-9 seems a likely record. The other Harbaugh-coached team is also poised to take a step back. The losses of Randy Moss and Delanie Walker—two middle-of-the-road contributors but highly unique mismatch creators—put more strain on a passing game that's led by a young star who, granted is supremely talented, but far less polished than people realize. 10-6 seems likely in San Francisco.
Big changes on D in Big D
It's can be difficult to transition from a multipronged hybrid 3-4 scheme to a more traditional 4-3 zone scheme. That's what the Cowboys, who replaced defensive coordinator Rob Ryan with aging legend Monte Kiffin, are aiming to do. If Kiffin makes this a Seahawks type 4-3 zone (which would mean hybrid press-man concepts for outside corners), the Cowboys can flourish. If he makes it a Tampa-2 style zone, they could flounder.
High-flying Falcons
It's hard to envision anyone stopping this offense. Julio Jones is poised to become a top-5 caliber receiver. All the other weapons are back, only with the running back position upgraded from Michael Turner to Steven Jackson. Orchestrating it all is burgeoning star Matt Ryan and coordinator Dirk Koetter, one of the shrewdest play-callers in football.
Worst to first?
In each of the last 10 seasons, at least one team has won its division after finishing last the previous year. The contenders this season: Buffalo, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Detroit, Tampa Bay and Arizona. If forced to pick one, the choice here would be Cleveland. The Browns could have a playmaking defense, and their offense, though deprived of aerial weapons and depth, at least has the right style of players for Norv Turner's highly accomplished system.
Odds and Ends
Most intriguing storyline
I'm interested to see if Chip Kelly can resuscitate the flagging career of Michael Vick. And I'm interested to see how many plays Kelly can squeeze out of a 60-minute football game. Eighty? Ninety? With his penchant for running a hurry-up offense ("I think his offense is going to look a lot like the K-gun the Bills ran with Jim Kelly," said Tony Dungy, whose son played for Kelly at Oregon), Kelly is going to keep it fun. I've said this is going to be the most interesting coach to watch come out of college football since Jimmy Johnson to Dallas in 1989, and I believe he'll turn the Eagles around. Maybe not this year, but he's too smart to take longer than a year to figure out how to win in the pro game. —Peter King
Breakout player to watch
Jared Cook. After spending his first four seasons jailed by quarterback play (Vince Young, Kerry Collins, Matt Hasselbeck, Jake Locker), the rest of the NFL will finally get to see the full potential of a player who has enormous talent that has been underutilized. At 6-6 and 248 pounds with long arms, Cook has a huge catch radius down the field, and the speed to turn short passes into long gains. He's a matchup nightmare—too fast for linebackers, too big for defensive backs—yet the Titans could never take advantage. Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer will, especially in the red zone, where Cook should get a ton of targets. —Greg A. Bedard
Team that will surprise, for good or bad
Detroit Lions. Watching the Packers against the Seahawks in the third week of the preseason, specifically with an eye on Bryan Bulaga's replacement at left tackle, David Bakhtiari, solidified my feeling that the Lions will win the NFC North. They've got the kind of defense that can now keep up with Green Bay, especially if Jason Jones continues to play like a top-15 end and Louis Delmas can stay on the field and off the trainer's table. Reggie Bush will diversify the offense, Ryan Broyles will come back from his second ACL tear to have a strong second half, and Jim Schwartz will keep his job. Mark it eight, dude. —Robert Klemko
Toughest schedule
Atlanta Falcons. By playing the Jets, the Falcons get one easy win, but even the Bills should be better on Dec. 1 at the end of the season and with E.J. Manuel back. Their own NFC South will be improved and a dogfight. Add in the Patriots, Seahawks, Packers, Redskins and 49ers, and you have a brutal slog from start to finish. —Greg A. Bedard
Easiest schedule
Kansas City Chiefs. If they get good quarterback play out of Alex Smith, the Chiefs have winnable games until Week 7 against the Texans, and that's at home. The toughest games down the stretch will be two against the Broncos, on the road at the Redskins and home to the Colts. Very manageable if the Chiefs can build some momentum. —Greg A. Bedard
Best game of the season
49ers at Redskins, Nov. 25. A couple years down the road, will Colin Kaepernick vs. RG3 be the NFC's version of the AFC's Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning battle royales? This will be the first time these two bright young faces of the NFL play each other. Each charmed the NFL last season with his talent by arm and by foot; they'll be even more fun to watch together. —Jenny Vrentas
Coaches on the hot seat
Lions GM Martin Mayhew should bear the brunt of the blame for the collapse of the 2012 Lions after a playoff season in 2011. For example, among the wide receivers chosen in the second round of the 2011 draft, after Titus Young, were Torrey Smith and Randall Cobb. In any case, should the Lions fail to rebound in a significant way, he and coach Jim Schwartz could both be shown the door. The only other coach on this list with a top-10 NFL quarterback is Jason Garrett, who has been walking on egg shells for a couple of years now. As for the unfortunate coaches without established passers, the Jets come to mind. I've said it before and I'll repeat it: Gang Green needs to raze the roster, mercy fire Rex Ryan, hire a top notch high school staff and run the full-house misdirection power made famous by the 1940 Alabama Crimson Tide. It would be less absurd than the current state of affairs. Down south, how much patience can management in Carolina and Tennessee afford when it comes to their third-year, first-round QBs? Ron Rivera and Mike Munchak's jobs ride on the ample shoulders of Cam Newton and Jake Locker. —Robert Klemko
So, has PK quit his weekly picks efforts because he wasn't very good at it, or are they hidden somewhere among all the verbiage from a show showing showboats talking to each other (MMQB the ongoing video saga)?
Thank you Mr. Klemke for the honorable mention of the Skins being the last ones in. To the rest of you clowns how do you not even mention the defending NFC East returning all but one starter on both sides of the ball with the league's number one "rushing" attack from last year and not even give them a wild card. The same team team that came within one TD (thanks Mr. Cruz) of sweeping the entire division last year and one key injury from beating Seattle in the playoffs and we can't even get a wild card? With one one of the NFL's most dynamic QB's and probably the best backup as well? All i can say is watch and learn your words wil be eaten.
Klemko has the Pack missing the playoffs, Vrentas has them winning the Super Bowl. I have no idea what to expect from us this season, it'll be a roller coaster either way.
The digs at the Jets are unrelenting. Falcons will have an easy win? Sure, let's wait and see, shall we? You think Rex forgot how to coach a defense?
I think for anyone blasting the Patriots pick, just look at the 2006 season.
That year, Tom Brady was throwing to"star" players such as Reche Caldwell, Chad Jackson, Daniel Graham and Ben Watson. Yet with a strong defense and running game, New England went 12-4, still made it to the AFC title game and was an interception away from making it to the Super Bowl.
There's a lot of logic in Peter's pick though it might not seem that way from all of the talent the Patriots jettisoned on the offensive side of the ball this off-season. These preseason picks are a crap shoot anyways. When in doubt, go with the team that you know is going to be there. Smart pick Peter.
watch out for Texans and Seattle.
This year will be,at least according to the Super Bowl website, a year of the first two's. The first time that two teams will host the game. The first time that two states will host the game. And as an added bonus,per the farmers almanac, the first time that the game will be played in two feet of snow.
With that in mind a Super Bowl prediction based on nothing of substance but simply a hunch.
Forty seven Super Bowls have come and gone without a host team taking part. The odds are that it has to happen sooner or later so why not this year. And while I don't mean to further dump on the NY Jets, I'm reasonably certain it won't be them. Although it is probably likely they will have named their starting QB by then.
That leaves my NY Giants to be both host and participant. As far as their opponent goes, the odds on a different subject are finally bound to change. There have been 348 brother combinations in the history of the NFL. That none have ever competed against one another on footballs biggest stage seems almost implausible. The odds on that ending have got to kick in sooner or later too. Perhaps last years Harbaugh Coaches bowl was just a little warmup.
This might have all happened a couple of years ago when Payton was still in Indy. But the the football Gods realized that 2013 would be the year of the Manning brothers Direct TV F.O.Y.P. commercial and decided to delay it till this year.
As far as the game itself is concerned, sadly for me as a Giant fan, the odds on something else are going against Big Blue. And that is that John Fox is due. An underappreciated coach finally gets over the hump.
Hail to the Redskins.
Buy the man a brew... for his prediction "Worst to first?" of the Browns! (I'm for Cleveland all the way, but don't you think KC is the obvious choice here? with their talent, easier schedule, and rejuvenatee Andy as coach?) HA!
He goes on to say, "The Browns could have a playmaking defense, and
their offense, though deprived of aerial weapons and depth, at least has
the right style of players for Norv Turner's highly accomplished
system." Again, I like the song he's singing, but just look at the predictions in this article -- The Browns are the only team in the AFC North NOT picked to win their division!
The AFC is a tough conference?
It's interesting that fantasy football roundups have fairly unbiased appraisals by players and team units(offense/yards, defense/pts. allowed, etc), but this article is the wildest stab at pure fantasy I've seen this season. We get it, you guys live in the Northeast! The Patriots haven't demonstrated a consistent defense in what seems like a decade or so... Providing Brady can light up 40+pts/game with mostly rookie skill players, it's a miraculous leap of faith to pick the Pats first in the AFC.... So record setting offense and non-existent defense in the NFC South equals home in December, but in the AFC East it equals superbowl Championship? Then there's that Buc's pick, not even Greg Schiano's mom is laying any cash on that! I expect the Ravens team we see this year will closely resemble the post-Cameron unit that blew through the playoffs.
Broncos and Ravens at the top of the AFC. The Texans need to start showing up for 60 minutes in road games against playoff teams! SF and Seattle in the NFC. NO will be there, Atlanta and Green Bay may make brief appearances, but neither has made themselves better since last year. The NFC East? Someone has to get 8 or 9 wins and take that division, but that's about all.
It would help if Peter would actually list how the Patriots, whom have a lesser running game, lesser OLine, lesser DL, lesser LBs, lesser DBs, lesser WRs (yes, this group is BETTER then last year's), lesser kicking game, lesser depth then the 49ers and somehow they're picked to win the Super Bowl & the 49ers are supposed to suddenly regress? The coaching is a push & the QBs are too within their systems (welcome to the 21 st century Brady). So what gives?
The Seahawks have yet to prove they can win on the road and until then, there's no way he can have them winning on paper, what's his justification? That suddenly Caroll will magically become a better coach then Harbaugh? He couldn't win in college against him even with double the talent, and he's 1-3 in the pros. So what's the justification? When they play that "big game" in Seattle, the Seahawks will have two of their starting DLinemen hurt or suspended for cheating & their great FA acquisition is out for that game too, so good luck with that. And they sure as hell aren't winning at Candlestick even if they have everyone.
So just goes to show that Peter's a homer because of his Patriot connections, cause if you remember, Caroll's a former Pat's coach that took them to the playoffs.
Better MMQB b/c no tedious writing. Keep it that way. It's the Web, not a paper.
This is retarted
So the Colts were the luckiest team in NFL history last year, becoming the first 11-5 team to have a negatuve point differential, went 8-1 in games decided by one touchdown or less (which, without fail, comes back to .500 over a period time with the exception of teams quarterbacked by all-time greats) and made no significant offseason additions that will improve the team drastically....and they not only make the playoffs but go to the Super Bowl! Klemko, you are a piece of work.
Why do the so-called most reliable football writers in the country wind up being so utterly illogical. Then you go to nfl.com and see articles on the most overrated players -- from the corporate arm of the NFL no less. Of course, not one of these predictions from ESPN and this place are even remotely accurate for the simple reason that pro football is the most unpredictable sport played today. My God, the Colts and Steelers in the Superbowl? Or making it a sport in itself to degrade Joe Flacco when he's won more games in the last 5 years -- 63 -- than any QB in the NFL. But they love their stats when the only one that counts is the one that says "W" and "L." Guess we'll have to put up with this again for another year.
Nobody picks the Bears? The best defense and special teams in the NFL. If they improve 20% on offense they can roll with anyone. And I'm a Colts fan. Seriously, the Steelers wont even make the playoffs let alone win that division. Wow, just WOw.
Across the board these picks are awful, culminating in Bob Klemko's abomination.
This site is unreadable. Whoever designed it ought to be fired.
These picks might be even worse than ESPN's.... That's hard to do...
hey wait, you used 'Redskins' in your article....here come the PC police. First and only time I click on this website. HTTR and you PC fools can watch your 'hits' bottom out as people realize what garbage this writing is.
PK is becoming so predictably white-bread: in his world, can anyone be more heroic than Tom Brady or Drew Brees? this is Monday Moaning Dunkin' Doughnuts news....I miss Dr. Z
plus you can't read these articles without an overhead projector
a lousy site that is befitting king's horrible writing
September SB picks are pie-in-the-sky, but these 'Odd Ends' are pure huckleberry:
Jenny's NFC winner, Green Bay: Rodgers' receiver-corps is lesser, run-game hoping for surprise and that once vaunted defense (White & Butler) now will let Kaep Krusader run about as far as Sheboygan, just gave pay-cut to their best D-man, AJ Hawk.
Robert's AFC winner, Indianapolis: Inspired play in '12 but Colts themselves probably dropped jaws on this pick. Luck looks like a gamer but his INTs & fumblitis show there's maturing in store. Pagano needs time to re-acquaint, put his stamp. In time.
With a ton of witty, smart and erudite sports writers around, why did Peter King ever hire Klemko? Nothing against his picks, but he hasnt written anything of value to this site. I am mystified. Compared to Bedard or Jenny Vrentas or Andy Benoit, he is pretty ineffectual in addition to being dull as a doorknob.
Maybe he is Peter's secret weapon, about to be unleashed on us unweary readers, once the season starts.
Looks pretty reasonable, except Denver and New England should be switched.
Griffin doesn't qualify for comeback player, as he was playing in Washington's final game last season. He didn't miss any games. Nice try though.
The 'Hoodie' has never won a SB that he didn't cheat in. His streak continues as the Pats don't reach the SB, but Denver does.
1. Texans
2. Broncos
3. Bengals
4. Patriots
5. Colts
6. Chiefs
AFC Championship - Bengals over Patriots
Ha. I love revisiting prediction posts.
@ukjets might as well he forgot or never knew how to coach anything else...just sayin'
Good calls all around!
@Gs1 on what planet do the pats have a lesser (sic) running game? 200 yds less than the 49ers, 8 more td's, and led the nfl in rushing 1st downs... Ridley and Vereen have another year of seasoning, and throw in Blount for short yardage and rz touches, you most certainly will see a top 5 rushing performance. They must have a poorer offensive line to put up those numbers right? Oh and I forgot to mention the 5 more fumbles the niners had. hmmm...
@Gs1 Carroll was the defensive Coordinator for the last SB winning 49ers team too! Much like the Ravens, Seattle didn't get it together until late in the season. Picking them ahead of the 49ers, given Harbaugh's record over the last 2 years is optimistic. The SIers all smoke that Patriots laffy taffy! Maybe coz they can't get good weed like we have out west? Just thinking out loud!
As is not knowing how to spell "retarded."
@Maplesyrup I agree, I like the Colts, but yeah, superbowl talk is a little crazy. They are good enough for a wildcard berth in a weak AFC though, but still a year or two away from seriously competing.
@JeremyJanishewski The problem with duh Bearssssssss is a shoddy O-line a,d a very horrible 2nd & 3rd string defense.
Are you a homer? I mean, NOBODY at SI even considered those losers.
@Boo-urns They're new layout is the work of someone who doesn't realize he's on the internet. Full page, full color backgrounds are the work of amateurs.
Testify! I don't follow football too closely but I could always hold my own in a football conversation just because I read Dr. Z. Now it's PK and the mini-PKs.
Speaking of missing good football writers: What happened to Don Banks?
@KeysSteven Rodgers' WR corps is lesser? They lost Jennings, who played 5 rusty games last season, and Driver, who had done absolutely nothing his final two years in the league. Keep stretching. Their D returns, Perry, Gibson, and Jolly, all bonafide run stoppers, and jettisons the awful Walden. AJ Hawk isn't nor has he ever been remotely considered GB's best anything... below average member of the D, actually. You clearly know nothing about GB.
@Marchoir He missed the Browns game. Also, Peterson was a candidate for Comeback Player of the year last year... but I agree with you, if you played that much the season before you can't really be a "Comeback" player. I designate that spot for a guy that was maybe out a whole year with an injury (Peyton last year) or someone that has been locked down on a horrible squad and then goes nuts-o on a new squad (maybe Steven Jackson this year?) Something like this...
@MMoney0021 You should write for this magazine.
@Kevin11 @JeremyJanishewski Seriously, is it so hard for adults to talk about sports without calling people garbage like homers and losers? Does that really make you feel better? Anyway, I stand by what I posted. Those "losers" have the best D and special teams in football. The O-line looks to be better with the 2 picks and 2 free agency pick-ups, they have some more talent at TE and more options at receiver with one of the best all purpose backs in Forte, and a strong power back in Bush for short yardage and goal line situations. They already had the number two QB-receiver duo last year with Cutler and Marshall. They finished 10-6 last year with a worse offense. Any opinions of your own you want to share, or do you just want to call me names from the safety of a keyboard?
@MarcSchenker@Boo-urns1) It's "their" not "they're". 2) Can't tell if you're kidding, so I'll assume you're not. This site is really unnavigable.The fonts and sizes are so large as to make this whole thing a mess to scroll through. I don't want to read 25 point font long text articles or have to scroll down 10 feet of screen to read a relatively short article.
@morejunk @Northof53rd Banks is the only reliable writer at SI by a long run. Of course they leave out his predictions.
@beekay31 @KeysSteven Nothing ("about GB")? That's a child's retort. And who said anything about Driver? Former great, but Don hasn't been considered part of "Rodgers' WR corps" in nearly 4 years. Just fact you mention DD in your bratty spew shows you're a GB (and TT) 'homer,' and pretty lame one, at that.
"(R)un stoppers" in a pro-Packers spew, after Kaepernick's run show in crunch time / PS '13?
If you'd just dropped Burnett's name (87 / 35), who edged Hawk in total tackles (81 / 39) in '12, I'd concede a point or two, but even that was beyond your grasp.
What's less than "know(ing) nothing about GB?'' That'd be "beekay31."
@MarcSchenker @MMoney0021 No he shouldn't, I hope that was sarcasm, because he has no idea what he''s talking about.
@Boo-urns @MarcSchenker I will work on my composition, Boo. I was in advertising and saw some great art directors in action and it boggles the mind that this magazine would get everything you said was wrong, wrong. It really kind of boggles the mind where these people get their artists.
@Northof53rd @MarcSchenker @morejunk Mad props to Wertheim (and Banks)!
@MarcSchenker @morejunk @Northof53rd
agreed; I do read him for NFL. and Wertheim for Tennis is also good
@SportsGuru @MarcSchenker @MMoney0021 To add to that, the "he has no idea what he is talking about", usually comes from homer fans that pick their favorite team to win the SB every year. Its why its called predictions.
@SportsGuru @MarcSchenker @MMoney0021 Considering 5 out of those 6 made the playoffs last year, a much improved KC team with an easy schedule, and a Bengals team who is bound to take a leap with Ravens and Steelers taking a step back. Your right, I have no idea what I am talking about. And I am not a Bengals fan.

Gongju: N36 26 36 E127 05 34
Buyeo: N36 16 07 E126 55 41
The Gongju and Buyeo Historic Sites refer to the cultural heritage from the Baekje Kingdom located in Gongju-si and Buyeo-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, Republic of Korea.
Korean history of about 5,000 years is divided into gradual stages of development: prehistoric, ancient, medieval, early modern, and modern. The ancient times of Korea saw the co-existence of the three kingdoms on the peninsula and beyond, which include Baekje (B.C.18~A.D. 660), Silla (B.C. 57~A.D. 935), and Goguryeo (B.C.37~A.D. 668). The three kingdoms developed unique cultural characteristics through the process of competing and cooperation with each other. Those cultural traits have been passed down to the next periods, Goryeo and Joseon and established as "Korean culture." The cultural characteristics from the Baekje kingdom, along with those from the other two ancient Korean kingdoms form the basis of Korean culture as we see today.
The Gongju and Buyeo area in Chungcheongnam-do had been the capitals of the middle and later periods of the Baekje Kingdom and, thus, maintains numerous remains of the splendid culture of Baekje. Although Gongju and Buyeo are different administrative districts, they are only about 30km apart and form one cultural zone. Located along the Geumgang River, they had advantages in defense and trade. Such advantages had made Baekje a leader in the exchange of culture and goods in East Asia during the ancient times.
In its early years, Baekje placed its capital near the Han River, but later moved it to Gongju (A.D. 475~538, Ungjin Era) and then Buyeo (A.D. 538~660, Sabi Era). That is why Gongju and Buyeo are home to a great number of historic places which bear witness to the heyday of the Baekje culture. The important remains of Baekje in Gongju are Gongsanseong Fortress, groups of tombs in Songsanri, Suchon-ri tombs and Goma Ferry area. The major remains in Buyeo include the Busosanseong Fortress, Jeonglimsa Temple site, Naseong Fortress, tombs and temple sites of Neungsan-ri, Cheongsan Fortress, Cheongmasanseong Fortress, Yongjeong-ri Temple site, and Gudrae area.
Gongsanseong Fortress is where the palace of Ungjin area and the surroundings of the palace are located. The fortress was repaired and reconstructed several times from the Baekje period throughout the Joseon Dynasty. As a result, there coexist the earthen castle of Baekje and stone castle in Joseon showing the process of evolution from earthen to stone castle signifying the importance of the heritage.
The tombs in Songsan-ri is famous for the royal tomb of King Muryeong, the only tomb from the Three Kingdoms era whose year of construction and the person buried in the tomb has been identified. About 4,000 relics found in the tomb provide us with significant historical facts of the Baekje culture and materials for further research on the ancient times of East Asia. Tomb No.6 among the group of tombs in Songsan-ri and that of King Muryeong are made of bricks, a clear evidence of the kingdom's active exchange with China in a wide range of areas.
The tombs in Suchon-ri are the tombs of the ruling class. A lot of the relics of the highest ruling class were discovered, such as gold-copper crowns, gold-copper shoes, and Chinese ceramics. This is yet another evidence of the abundant and prosperous trade between Baekje and China.
Busosanseong Fortress in Buyeo, is known to be the site of the palace from the Sabi Era (A.D. 538~660). The fortress in the background of the palace served as its rear guarden.
In Jeonglimsa Temple site stands a 5-story stone pagoda from the Baekje period. Wooden pagodas were mostly built before the construction of the Jeonglimsa Temple, however in line with the construction of the temple, wooden pagodas were gradually changed over to the stone pagodas, of which the stone pagoda in this site proves to be the first of its kind.
The Naseong Fortress surrounds the inner city. The fortress was intended to vividly show the dignity of both the kingdom and the king. The construction and engineering techniques used in Naseong can also be widely found in China and Japan.
The Cheongmasan seong Fortress is the representative mountain fortress of Baekje. The fortress was designed to protect the entire capital, a different function from Naseong. The fortress is a significant evidence of diverse kinds of fortresses built in the Baekje period.
As so described, Gongju and Buyeo Historic Sites provide us with a comprehensive view on the history and culture of Baekje, featuring a variety of cultural heritage including fortresses, tombs, and pogodas. The remains were evidence of what had been created and formed through the long-term exchanges and interactions with China and Japan, and therefore well represent the universal values of the ancient culture of East Asia.
Justification of Outstanding Universal Value
(ii) exhibit an important interchange of human values, over a span of time or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning or landscape design
Gongju and Buyeo Historic Sites are a vivid testimony to the active exchange and trade during ancient times among China, Korea, and Japan. There are a number of historic places and properties that share similar architectural and technical characteristics with China and Japan. Baekje adopted architectural culture from China, developed it in its own style, and then transmitted it to Japan.
(iii) bear a unique or at least exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization which is living or which has disappeared
Gongju and Buyeo Historic Sites hold a series of evidence of the unique cultural traits that flourished during ancient times on the Korean peninsula. Baekje developed its own cultural traits different from China and Japan.
(iv) be an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural or technological ensemble or landscape which illustrates (a) significant stage(s) in human history
Gongju and Buyeo Historic Sites include a number of fortresses, pagodas, and temples. The pagodas and temples found in the sites tell a great deal about the characteristics of Buddhism widespread in East Asia during ancient times. Also the diverse kinds of fortresses in the sites embody outstanding architectural and engineering techniques.
Statements of authenticity and/or integrity
Gongju and Buyeo area is one of the districts in Korea where development has been most controlled. Therefore, there has been almost no damage, modification, or unauthorized restoration of the cultural remains caused by development. Recently, the Historic Cities Conservation Act has been enforced strictly inhibiting the development in Gongju and Buyeo area. As a result, a remains in Gongju and Buyeo areas maintain their originality.
In addition to the scientific investigations on the cultural heritage, integrated and systematic studies and efforts have been performed for the preservation of the original form. For maintenance and restoration, the master plan has been developed and implemented through consultation with the authorities, local people and relevant academic circles. These endeavors contribute to the authenticity of the historical heritage in both Gongju and Buyeo.
The cultural heritage in the Gongju and Buyeo areas are solid evidence of the Baekje civilization once thought to have perished. They can be classified into fortresses, temples, and old tombs, which were the three elements that comprise a capital in the period of the Three Kingdoms. Most of the remains have been unearthed and examined, and designated as national cultural heritage for their importance as recognized by cultural heritage experts. The remains and relics are preserved and controlled by the pertinent laws including Cultural Heritage Protection Act.
Comparison with other similar properties
In the country
The historic sites of Gongju and Buyeo can be compared with the Gyeongju Historic Areas and the Goguryo Mural Tombs.
Gyeongju Historic Areas, which was inscribed as World Heritage in 2000, had been the capital of Silla and contains fortress, temples, and old tombs, like Gongju and Buyeo area which had been the capitals of Baekje. About 60% of the heritage in Gyeongju Historic Areas had been constructed in the Unified Silla period and dated later than those in the Gongju and Buyeo area by about one half century. The seniority of the Baekje culture was recognized by the fact that the 9-storied wooden pagoda of Hwangyongsa Temple which was a national project in the Silla era was constructed by the Master Abiji of Baekje.
The historical heritage of Goguryeo relates to the fortresses and old tombs distributed in the ancient capital areas. The murals on the tomb walls were a unique feature in the tombs of Goguryeo (only two tombs of Baekje have murals as discovered so far), however, there are no Buddhist temples in the Goguryeo heritage. Also Goguryeo culture was not as influential to its neighbors as Baekje which had promoted mutual development in China and Japan through cultural exchanges. This is the main difference between the Gongju and Buyeo Historic Heritage Sites and those of Goguryeo and Silla.
Out of the country
There are few preceding cases where an entire area of the capital of a perished civilization, like Gongju and Buyeo Areas, to be designated as a historic heritage. This is because relatively few historic sites have the three elements-fortress, religious facilities (temple), and tombs-of a capital of a kingdom.
In Japan, the Buddhist Monuments in Horyu-ji Area became the first heritage to be inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1993, followed by the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto in 1994 and the Historic Monuments of Ancient Nara in 1998. The Buddhist Monuments of Horyu-ji Temple, as its name means, are limited to Buddhist heritage and the pagoda of the heritage is a 5-storied wooden pagoda. The Gongju and Buyeo Historic Sites include capital fortresses and groups of tombs as well as temples. Especially, the pagoda in the Jeonglimsa Temple site is a 5-storied stone pagoda, a more developed form of pagoda than the wooden one. Kyoto and Nara World Heritage Sites are the historic heritage areas that represent the ancient culture of Japan. However, they do not have the fortress, religious facilities (temples) and tomb groups, different from the Gongju and Buyeo area. More than anything else, Kyoto and Nara does not have the fortress which shows the dignity of capital and is a symbolic structure that divides inside and outside of the capital. In addition, the monuments in the Kyoto and Nara areas were built later than those of the Gongju and Buyeo area by two or three centuries.
In China as well, there are no ancient cities containing all the elements of palace, temple and tombs in one place. Heritage such as the Forbidden Palace is a good example of a palace but does not include fortresses or tombs in relation to the kingdom, and also is a heritage from the Ming and Qing dynasties starting from the 14th century, 700 to 900 years later than those from the Baekje Kingdom.

I moved clear out to Mesa when I got married. I think at that time the freeway went all the way to Dobson. My mother was not happy with my husband, I was the first of 5 children to move sooooo far from home! She eventually got over it.
Before I had my son, Dustin, I worked at Good Samaritan Medical Center in the Rehab Department. At the time I left Good Sam to raise my son, I was the Administrative Assistant to the Rehab Director.
Dustin went to Booker T. Washington Elementary School where I started volunteering in the classroom. I was there so much that I decided to apply for part-time work. They started me out on the playground and cafeteria, which I loved. One thing lead to another and here I am the Family Support Specialist.
I love being at Wilson with all of the wonderful children, families and staff!

The bodies of a traditional healer and his three patients who perished in a mysterious blast in Chitungwiza yesterday afternoon were today removed from the scene of the explosion and taken for post mortems at Chitungwiza General Hospital. A seven month old baby was also killed in the blast which seriously injured two other people, destroyed four houses and damaged more than 12 others.
Chitungwiza Mayor Alderman Philimon Chipiyo said his council will hold an emergency meeting today to approve help to the affected families and to regulate the operations of traditional healers within built up areas.
Families of the deceased were told to report at the hospital tomorrow morning to collect the bodies of their relatives for burial.
Hundreds of residents for the second day running gathered around Ndororo Street in Zengeza 2 to view proceedings at the scene of the blast that was tightly secured by the police and Zimbabwe National army.
Members of the bomb disposal, forensic units and pathologists collected evidence from the scene.
Harare police spokesman Inspector Tedious Chibanda said the cause of the blast was still to be ascertained.
"Investigations are continuing. An analysis would be carried on the material gathered from the debris to establish the cause. The actual cause of the blast is not yet known.
"We urge the public to be patient as we continue with our investigations," he said.

JUST as the dispute over whether vaccines cause autism was dying down at last, a US government decision has added fresh fuel to the fire. Last week it emerged that the federal government is to compensate a couple who say that the regular childhood vaccines, given to their baby daughter in 2000, caused her to develop autism. Damages have not yet been set, but could exceed $1 million.
Significantly, the government's decision says nothing about whether vaccines cause autism. Instead, government lawyers concluded only that vaccines aggravated a pre-existing cellular disorder in the child, causing brain damage that included features of autism. Nonetheless, anti-vaccination campaigners are claiming vindication. "It's official," wrote one autism blogger. "The sky has fallen. The fat lady has sung. Pigs are flying."
Autism experts say it is unclear why compensation is being paid. Almost 5000 other families have lodged similar claims which are being considered by the court, but decades of research have failed to find any link between vaccines and autism and few experts thought that the government would pay up.
Scientists say there is nothing in the medical history of the child in question to change that thinking. "I'm stunned that they decided to settle," says Jay Gargus, a paediatrician at the University of California, Irvine. Exactly why the US government did so is still being debated, as details of the decision have been sealed and the Department of Health and Human Services won't comment.
Whatever the government's thinking, the worry is that the decision may undermine public confidence in vaccines, which is just recovering after recent scares over mercury and the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) shot. On 29 February, for example, Republican presidential candidate John McCain used a query on the case as a chance to question whether mercury in vaccines could be linked to autism.
"A decision like this will definitely make parents more wary about vaccines," says Jaime DeVille, a paediatrician at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a member of the government's childhood vaccines advisory committee.
According to internet newspaper The Huffington Post, which last week published leaked details of the court case from November, the child developed a fever after receiving scheduled vaccinations in 2000 for haemophilus influenzae, chickenpox, polio, MMR, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and polio, when she was 18 months old. Autism-like symptoms, such as poor communication skills, followed. In 2001 physicians concluded that the child, who has not been named, "demonstrated features of autistic disorder".
It transpired that the child's mitochondria, the powerhouses that provide cells with energy, were not working normally, and tests revealed a mutation in a gene linked to mitochondrial function. After studying her medical history, officials at the Department of Health and Human Services concluded that the vaccines had "significantly aggravated an underlying mitochondrial disorder, which predisposed her to deficits in energy metabolism", causing brain damage with "features of autism spectrum disorder".
Proponents of a link between vaccines and autism have made much of the mitochondrial disorder, in part because researchers have wondered for at least a decade whether autism could be a mitochondrial disorder. Autism runs in families and some of the genes thought to be involved play a role in mitochondrial function. Biomarkers for mitochondrial dysfunction, such as a build-up of lactic acid, are also elevated in some autistic children. David Kirby, the journalist who revealed the decision, says that in an "informal survey" of seven other children with cases pending all show signs of mitochondrial problems, though he did not reveal how he got this information.
Experts say these links do nothing to prove that autism originates in the mitochondria. "It's not surprising that mitochondrial function is abnormal," says Steven Novella, a neurologist at Yale University. "With neurodegenerative disorders almost any marker of cell health will be worse than in controls." Without more research, he adds, it is impossible to say whether the mitochondrial problems are the cause of the disease or its by-product (see "Can autism be a mitochondrial disease?"). Those who argue otherwise, are "making multiple assumptions that are not established", Novella warns.
Further complications stem from confusion over the role vaccines played in the child's condition. Severe inflammatory reactions are a rare but established side effect of vaccines, and they can damage the brain in many different ways, some of which produce symptoms similar to those seen in autism. The mitochondrial disorder might have prevented the child from dealing with her inflammation, but it is also possible that the child's mitochondrial problems caused the inflammation and that the vaccines she received were irrelevant.
Other experts added that parents should not be dissuaded from getting their children vaccinated just because of a court case. "What does this decision mean?" says Paul Offit, a paediatrician at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. "It doesn't mean anything. The question of whether vaccines cause autism is a scientific one, not a legal one."
Numerous scientific studies have addressed the question, adds Offit, and all concluded that there is no link. Government officials, including those at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, also insisted the decision does nothing to change their thinking.
These caveats may, however, get lost as reaction to the decision evolves. Kevin Conway of Conway, Homer & Chin-Caplan in Boston, whose firm represents around 1200 autistic children with court cases pending, says he will start getting his clients tested for mitochondrial dysfunction. And Thomas Power, an attorney based in Portland, Oregon, says he would also like to see full details of the case, as they could help his cases of autistic children seeking compensation.

Can autism be a mitochondrial disease?
FOR some years now, researchers have known that children with mitochondrial disorders can develop autism-like symptoms, or even full-blown autism. A 2005 study of 69 Portuguese children with autism found mitochondrial abnormalities that disrupted energy production in five of them, (Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, DOI: 10.1017/S0012162205000332).
The big question is whether the girl whose family is due to receive damages would also have developed autism-like symptoms in the absence of vaccination (see main story).
Researchers contacted by New Scientist say that in very crude terms, children with mitochondrial disorders are especially at risk of neurological and muscular abnormalities because muscle and brain cells need so much energy. If mitochondria are faulty and don't supply enough energy, these cells are damaged. Lack of energy can also lead to encephalopathy, or disruption of brain structure, which can in turn cause autism-like symptoms. "Anything that messes up development can cause something that looks like autism," says Lindsey Kent of the University of St Andrews in the UK. But such symptoms are unusual. Mostly, children present with a wide range of developmental disorders of varying severity.
Kent also points out that mitochondrial diseases are very rare - just 5.7 per 100,000 individuals worldwide - and the subsets of disorders linked with autism even rarer. Kent says she is surprised that the court ruled in favour of the girl, arguing that the symptoms would probably have developed whether or not she had been vaccinated. "She has a clear mitochondrial genetic mutation, which is probably the cause of her developmental regression, autistic features and epilepsy," she says. "Whether or not the vaccine unmasked this will never be known, but it seems quite surprising."
Salvatore DiMauro, who has studied links between autism and mitochondrial mutations at Columbia University in New York, agrees. "My guess is that if she had a mitochondrial mutation, sooner or later she would have shown something abnormal," he says.
DiMauro says it's significant that the girl's genetic mutation was in the 16S ribosomal RNA gene, because these are very rare. Only four others are known. The gene plays a pivotal role in protein production, so any mutation that damages this function could have a huge impact on other mitochondrial genes and energy production by cells. "In the girl's case it would be important to prove protein synthesis is disrupted," he says.
DiMauro adds that in children who are "energy-challenged" because of mitochondrial disease, stresses including vaccination could trigger autism-like symptoms. "Children get worse in any stressful event, from having flu to having a vaccination," he says.
Kent says it's imperative in the wake of the ruling that parents don't lose confidence in vaccines. "That's what concerns me more than anything," she says. "My advice would be to carry on getting children vaccinated."
She says that screening for mitochondrial defects prior to vaccination would be very expensive, and unnecessary as most are very rare, and damage from mitochondrial disorders usually becomes apparent very early in infancy.

Care for a beverage? Leprechauns Irish Coffee
We love Pinterest -- as you may have noticed from the images in our sidebar and our links on our about page. I didn't totally love it in the beginning -- it was a lot of soft focus photos of cupcakes and cheesy inspirational typography. I like both cupcakes and typography, but it was a little too schmaltzy for me. So I eschewed it for a while until more people started using it and there was more variety.
I started a board that Kathy and I both contribute to called Moxie Dream House. We've always fantastized about what it would be like if we could live in the same city and have a brick n' mortar studio. Of course, our fantasy studio wouldn't likely include a bed -- we're not a cam girl site, much to the chagrin of some of our spammers -- but our Moxie Dream House board contains basically anything fabulous, pink, leopard or otherwise something we deem appropriate for our "fantasy studio were it potentially a giant mansion in which we could find room for all this stuff".
Here are some samples of the kinds of things we dream about:
A pink desk is imperative. And the chalkboard wall is brilliant!

Its my toy and I'll do what I like with it .......
short of putting food dye on the fuel, it is really quite hard to see what the fuel level is especially below 1/2 to 2/3rds
with the big tank when the fuel light comes on you still have at least about 100k's (which is the same as the average enduro bike from full)
Iam at least 20kg overweight (serious now) and that is about the same as 20 litres of fuel on top of 30 litres of fuel in the tank.............the thing just won't pull up with that kind of weight, let alone have any sort of fun with the bike.
Iam not used to having a working speedo on a bike let alone having to think about fuel range.......
On Jizza's ride I reset the trip meter by accident and on this last ride I couldn't seem to set it whilst riding so didn't bother.
If I was with a fussy crowd on either ride I would have paid more attention, its all part of the day out.
I had a spare litre of fuel in my backpack until we got to Goolwa then after talking with one of the blokes I decided it was a bit silly to be carrying the extra fuel on my back...................
ahh its all good

Fritz loves Boombox by Nick Thompson
Fritz loves Trapcode Planet by Philipp Pavlov
Fritz loves Collapse by Selfburning
Fritz loves unnamed soundsculpture by onformative
Project by Daniel Franke & Cedric Kiefer
produced by:
Music: Machinefabriek 'Kreukeltape'
The basic idea of the project is built upon the consideration of creating a moving sound sculpture from the recorded motion data of a real person. For our work we asked a Laura Keil, a berlin based dancer to interpret a musical piece – Kreukeltape by Machinenfabriek – as closely as possible with the movement of her own body. She was recorded by three depth cameras (Kinect), in which the intersection of the images was later put together to a three-dimensional volume (3d point cloud), doing so we were able to use the collected data throughout the further process. The three-dimensional image allowed us a completely free handling of the digital camera, without limitations of the perspective. The camera also reacts to the sound and supports the physical imitation of the musical piece by the performer. She moves to a noise field, where a simple modification of the random seed can consistently create new versions of the video, each offering a different composition of the recorded performance. The multi-dimensionality of the sound sculpture is already contained in every movement of the dancer, as the camera footage allows any imaginable perspective.
Similar to painting, a single point appears to be still very abstract, but the more points are connected to each other, the more complex and concrete the image seems. The more perfect and complex the "alternative worlds" we project and the closer together their point elements, the more tangible they become. A digital body, consisting of 22 000 points, thus seems so real that it comes to life again. Using 3 different microsoft kinect cameras the movement of the dancer was recorded into those 3d pointclouds that were synced and exported as one large dataset as Krakatoa particle files to be loaded into 3ds max for further rendering and creation of the 3d scene including the camera movement that is controlled by the audio as well.

Fritz loves Forms (excerpt) by Memo Akten
Forms is an ongoing collaboration between visuals artists Memo Akten and Quayola, a series of studies on human motion, and its reverberations through space and time. It is inspired by the works of Eadweard Muybridge, Harold Edgerton, Étienne-Jules Marey as well as similarly inspired modernist cubist works such as Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase No.2″. Rather than focusing on observable trajectories, it explores techniques of extrapolation to sculpt abstract forms, visualizing unseen relationships – power, balance, grace and conflict – between the body and its surroundings.
The project investigates athletes; pushing their bodies to their extreme capabilities, their movements shaped by an evolutionary process targeting a winning performance. Traditionally a form of entertainment in todays society with an overpowering competitive edge, the disciplines are deconstructed and interrogated from an exclusively mechanical and aesthetic point of view; concentrating on the invisible forces generated by and influencing the movement.
The source for the study is footage from the Commonwealth Games. The process of transformation from live footage to abstract forms is exposed as part of the interactive multi-screen artwork, to provide insight into the evolution of the specially crafted world in which the athletes were placed.
The video installation is currently being exhibited at the National Media Museums 'In The Blink of an Eye' Exhibition, 9th March – 2nd September, 2012, alongside classic images by photographers as diverse Harold Edgerton, Eadweard Muybridge, Roger Fenton, Richard Billingham and Oscar Rejlander as well as historic items of equipment, films and interactive displays.

Keeping David's Promise.
At one point in our early history, we could welcome every family that called upon us. In 2003, David's House comfortably housed families at a 69% occupancy rate. By 2007, the rate had increased to 79%, and it has continued to climb steadily. Unfortunately, our occupancy rates have risen to a point that requires us to turn families away on a regular basis.
This uncertainty creates incredible anxiety for families already experiencing particularly stressful situations. We are excited to announce Keeping David's Promise, a $4,000,000 campaign with three focuses, one of which is the addition of...
Once completed, the new space will allow us to absorb about 90% of the existing turnaways, meaning more families than ever can call David's House their home-awayfrom-home. The addition will also include a Nursing Mothers' Center, two more bathrooms, an office space, and a multi-purpose room.The campaign not only includes the physical addition to the house, it includes building our endowment and securing our annual, operational support. This campaign is a significant undertaking - the largest in our long history - and we need your help to make it a success! We need to raise more than twice our annual budget by June 30, 2013 - no donation is too small!

New 'bony-tongue' fish discovered in Myanmarmongabay.com
May 18, 2012
The arowana, which is named Scleropages inscriptus, comes from the Tenasserim or Tananthayi River basin on the Indian Ocean coast of peninsular Myanmar. According to Tyson Roberts, the ichthyologist who described the species, Scleropages inscriptus is distinguished from the closely-related Asian arowana (Scleropages formosus) by the maze-like markings on its scales and facial bones. Like zebra, each fish is believed to have a unique pattern.
Despite their large size and aggressive demeanor, arowana are popular aquarium fish. Asian species with distinctive coloration are particularly prized as "feng shui" fish believed to bring good luck. Some arowana may fetch tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
Their popularity has lead to some species being overexploited. This, together with ongoing destruction of their rainforest habitat, has led conservationists to restrict the trade in some arowana species.

A Jewish boarding school in Minnesota is closing.
Yeshiva High School of the Twin Cities, which opened five years ago, is shutting down after failing to pay a $60,000 balloon mortgage payment in June, the Star Tribune reported Tuesday. The school's website does not announce the closure.
The school was attempting to purchase a former Baptist church in Cottage Grove, Minn. It had made $400,000 in payments and added $200,000 in improvements to the building.
The school sign has been removed and the doors chained shut, according to the Star Tribune.
Yeshiva High had opened with 18 students and grew to 40 from around the world. It was aimed at Orthodox Jewish teenage males at risk.

Burn down the mission if we're gonna stay alive
I'm definitely easy- and outgoing (think on that for a second) and a bit of a free spirit. But, I do have an ambitious side too. I have a JD and practiced law in Massachusetts then earned a Master's degree in Space and Telecommunication Law (think satellites). I don't have cable (kind of a self-imposed embargo) but I do like movies and lately I have been on a Spaghetti Western kick. Having been fairly transient the past three years (Boston, Nebraska, DC and then stint in Atlanta), the circumstances have not particularly favored me dating anyone with a view toward the long term. But, as I've made up mind to settle down here in the Jacksonville area and out of better ideas, I thought I would give this a shot. Plus, I don't particularly know anyone here so I'm judgment proof... One thing Match has made me aware of is that having been single for the past few years, I've not had my picture continuously taken. So, these will have to do. But just FYI, the sideburns are gone... for better or worse. What else? I'd say bonus points if you like the Beach Boys and Elton John (and I don't mean just singles... I'm talking about deep tracks), Atlanta sports or sports in general and Seinfeld.
