AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — George P. Bush, a rising star among Hispanic conservatives and the grandson of one president and nephew of another, has taken the first step toward seeking elected office in Texas.
But it's unclear what his next step will be.
The 36-year-old attorney from Fort Worth has filed a two-page candidate reporting declaration with the Texas Ethics Commission but didn't list which office he plans to seek. Bush did not return messages at his consulting firm Friday, and his campaign treasurer was traveling in Oklahoma and unavailable for comment.
Still, word of yet another Bush coming to Texas ballots was cheered by Republicans across the state, where party leaders are well aware that they will need Hispanic voters if they want to continue dominating politics here over the next two decades the way they did during the last two.
"It's a positive thing to have something besides old white guys like me on the ballot," said Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson.
A Democrat has not won statewide office in Texas since 1994, but Hispanics accounted for two-thirds of Texas' population growth over the last decade and now make up 35 percent of its population. Mitt Romney's failure to connect with Latinos is being cited as a reason for his defeat by President Barack Obama, who carried 71 percent of the Hispanic vote nationwide.
"I think George P. Bush is the future of the party," said George Antuna, who co-founded the Hispanic Republicans of Texas with Bush. "Whichever office he decides to seek, we will support him 110 percent."
Bush is the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and his wife, Columba, who was born in Mexico. His uncle is George W. Bush and his grandfather is George H.W. Bush.
George P. Bush speaks Spanish and has been active in politics for years. In August, he was promoted to deputy finance chairman of the Texas Republican Party.
The filing answers at least one question: Texas or Florida?
Bush grew up in the Sunshine State but met his wife Amanda while attending law school at the University of Texas. He later became a partner in a real estate investment company and has since started Fort Worth-based St. Augustine Partners, a business consulting firm.
As recently as September, Bush said he was being recruited to run for statewide office by Texas GOP brass. That same month, however, he launched a four-day bus tour of Florida to drum up support for the Republican Party among college students there.
"I know he has a passion for Texas. Texas is where his granddad lives, where his uncle lives and a lot of other family members," Antuna said. "He's always been a Texan. It just took him a little while to get here."
Democratic state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer noted that the Texas Republican Party platform supports English-only laws and opposes extending legal status to immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. He also said the party wants to do away with pre-kindergarten classes and the federal health care law, even though 65 percent of pre-kindergarten students statewide are Latinos and the health care overhaul would extend coverage to 3.3 million uninsured Hispanic Texans.

The aim of this clinical study was to compare the image quality of digital radiography using the new digital Bucky system based on a flat-panel detector with that of a conventional screen-film system for the skeletal structure and the abdomen. Fifty patients were examined using digital radiography with a flat-panel detector and screen-film systems, 25 for the skeletal structures and 25 for the abdomen. Six radiologists judged each paired image acquired under the same exposure parameters concerning three observation items for the bone and six items for the abdomen. Digital radiographic images for the bone were evaluated to be similar to screen-film images at the mean of 42.2%, to be superior at 50.2%, and to be inferior at 7.6%. Digital radiographic images for the abdomen were judged to be similar to screen-film images at the mean of 43.4%, superior at 52.4%, and inferior at 4.2%; thus, digital radiographic images were estimated to be either similar as or superior to screen-film images at over 92% for the bone and abdomen. On the statistical analysis, digital radiographic images were also judged to be preferred significantly in the most items for the bone and abdomen. In conclusion, the image quality of digital radiography with a flat-panel detector was superior to that of a screen-film system under the same exposure parameters, suggesting that dose reduction is possible with digital radiography.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
28:18. Uprightness will give men holy security in the worst times; but the false and dishonest are never safe. 19. Those who are diligent, take the way to live comfortably. 20. The true way to be happy, is to be holy and honest; not to raise an estate suddenly, without regard to right or wrong. 21. Judgment is perverted, when any thing but pure right is considered. 22. He that hastens to be rich, never seriously thinks how quickly God may take his wealth from him, and leave him in poverty. 23. Upon reflection, most will have a better opinion of a faithful reprover than of a soothing flatterer.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 20. - A faithful man shall abound with blessings. "Faithful," as in Proverbs 20:6, one on whom one can depend, honest and upright. Septuagint, ἀξιόπιστος. The blessings signified are such as come from God and man. Men will utter his name with praise and benediction (comp. Job 29:8, etc.), and God will show his approval by sending material prosperity. He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent (comp. ver. 22, and note there; Proverbs 13:11; Proverbs 20:21; Proverbs 21:5). One who is only anxious to become quickly rich, and is unscrupulous as to means, cannot be "a faithful man," and therefore cannot be blessed. Instead of "innocent," many expositors render "unpunished" (as Proverbs 17:5), which better contrasts with the blessings mentioned in the first hemistich, though the two ideas are coordinate. On this haste of covetousness, Juvenal writes ('Sat.,' 14:173) -
"Inde fere scelerum causae; nec plura venena
Miscuit aut ferro grassatur saepius ullum
Humanae mentis vitium, quam saeva cupido
Immodici census; nam dives qui fieri vult,
Et cito vult fieri. Sed quae reverentia legum,
Quis metus aut pudor est unquam properantis avari?" The Septuagint waters down the gnome, "But the wicked shall not be unpunished."
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
A faithful man shall abound with blessings,.... Or, "a man of faithfulness" (u). A very faithful man, that is truly so; that is so in a moral sense; true to his work, makes good his promises, fulfils his contracts, abides by the obligations he lays himself under; is faithful in every trust reposed in him, be it greater or lesser matters, in every station in which it is, and throughout the whole course of his life. Such a man abounds with the blessings and praises of men; all value him, and speak well of him: and with the blessings of divine Providence; he is "much in blessings" (w), as it may be rendered; as in receiving blessings from God, so in giving them to men; such a man is usually charitable and beneficent. And it may be understood of one that is faithful, in a spiritual and evangelic sense; for of such characters are the followers of the Lamb, Revelation 17:14. It is in the original, "a man of truths" (x); one that has the truth of grace in him; that knows the grace of God in truth; with whom the truth of the Gospel is; who has learnt it, known it, embraced it, values it, and abides by it; and who has a concern with Christ, who is the truth, who is formed, lives, and dwells in his heart; of whom he has made a good profession, and holds it fast, and whom he cleaves unto. The character of "faithful" belongs both to the true ministers of Christ, who preach the pure Gospel, and the whole of it; who seek not to please men, but God; and not themselves, and their own glory, but the things of Christ, and his glory; and continue to do so in the face of all opposition: and to private Christians, the faithful in Christ Jesus; who truly believe in him, stand by his truths, abide by his ordinances, and are faithful to one another, and continue so till death: these abound with the blessings of the covenant of grace, with all spiritual blessings in Christ, with the fulness of the blessing of the Gospel of Christ; they have an abundance of grace in them, given them in conversion, faith, hope, love, humility, and many other graces, in the exercise of which they are made to abound; and they have an abundance of blessings of grace bestowed on them, pardon of sin, a justifying righteousness, adoption, meetness for and right unto eternal life; they have Christ, and all things along with him; so that they may be truly said to have all things, and abound;
but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent; he that is over anxious, and immoderately desirous of being rich, and pursues every method of obtaining his desires, with all his might and main; that labours night and day for it; though he takes no criminal nor unlawful methods, properly so called, nor does he do anything injurious to others, yet he is not innocent; that too much anxiety in him is criminal; nor is he free from covetousness; see Proverbs 23:4; and if he uses any unjust and unlawful means to acquire wealth, and resolves to be rich, right or wrong, "per fas, per nefas", he shall not be innocent, neither before God nor men: so the Targum renders it,
"he that runs into iniquity, that he may be rich;''
and indeed when a man hastily, or in a short time, becomes rich, though he cannot be directly charged with fraud and injustice, yet he is not innocent in the minds of men, or free from their suspicious and jealousies of him. A man that makes haste to be rich is opposed to him that is faithful and true to his word and contracts, and is the same that Juvenal (y) calls "avarus properans"; see 1 Timothy 6:9.
(u) "vir fidelitatum", Vatablus, Merceras, Piscator, Gejerus, Michaelis. (w) "multus benedictionibus", Montanus, Vatablus, Baynus, Michaeiis. (x) "Vir veritatum", Montanus. (y) Satyr. 14. v. 178.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
20. maketh haste … rich—implying deceit or fraud (Pr 20:21), and so opposed to "faithful" or reliable.
Proverbs 28:20 Additional Commentaries
The Righteous are as Bold as a Lion
…19He who tills his land will have plenty of food, But he who follows empty pursuits will have poverty in plenty. 20A faithful man will abound with blessings, But he who makes haste to be rich will not go unpunished. 21To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress.…

Signing for a good causeNovember 8, 2012 by Teresa Varley
It might have looked like a simple autograph session on Thursday night at Dick's Sporting Goods in Cranberry, Pa., but it was far more and will go a long way in helping those in need in Allegheny County.
Six Steelers players, including Charlie Batch, Jonathan Dwyer, Larry Foote, Keenan Lewis, Maurkice Pouncey, and Shaun Suisham signed autographs during two different sessions in exchange for donations to the United Way.
"It takes a whole community to address the most critical needs here in Allegheny County," said Linda Jones, vice president of workplace campaigns. "The Steelers are such great supporters. It is critical for us to have the community come together to make an impact to help with those needs and we are glad to have a great partnership with the Steelers to be able to provide that opportunity.
"As Bob Nelkin (President of the United Way of Allegheny County) says all of the time the United Way is the business community and the employees of those businesses coming together to make an impact. The business community and employees are so critical to us to be a successful organization."
No player understands the need the United Way has more than Batch, who has been the Steelers' United Way spokesman for the past six years. He speaks to companies to encourage their participation, but he also understands individual donations are just as meaningful.
"It's always important," said Batch. "Any time you have the chance to go to different areas and raise money for the United Way it's special to be a part of.
"I know how important it is to raise money from corporations, from people throughout the city. I think you need to continually remind people of the importance of the United Way because there are people out there that need help."

I've been out of college for more than three years, but I still talk to my high school and college friends every day. In fact, some of the people I met at college are still my closest friends. Although six or seven people from my high school graduating class also went to the University of Georgia — certainly more familiar faces than most high school students will have joining their freshman college class — I still knew it was important to meet new people.
If I didn't want to eat by myself at the dining hall, all I had to do was knock on a few doors.
While I easily could have chosen to stick with my old group of friends during my freshman year, I first started making new friends where most college freshmen should look: in the residence hall. My dorm was the perfect place for me to meet new people. Just down the hall were many different types of people for me to meet and spend time with. If I didn't want to eat by myself at the dining hall, all I had to do was knock on a few doors. There was no reason for me to be scared about meeting new people. Most of these people were like me: new to the college lifestyle and just starting to figure out how to spend their daily life in college. Suddenly, there was never a dull moment after I was done with class, and I always had new friends at my disposal.
This isn't to say that I started losing contact with my old high school friends who were also at UGA. I made it a point to spend as much time with them as I could. Even though most of us had completely different schedules and were living in very different places on and off the campus, we all were experiencing the same struggles to adapt to our new college lifestyle: balancing free time with studying and taking classes unlike anything we had ever had in high school, where we were just a face in a crowd of hundreds of students in a lecture hall. We could relate and support each other through our own discoveries. I even had the same experience with friends I only saw when I went home on holidays. Even though we were going to colleges of different types all around the United States, we were all adjusting to our new lives at school.
I started becoming more active on campus.
I began to cherish spending time with my friends from home, because I quickly found out that we would start going in very different directions as our college lives evolved. For example, one of my best friends since elementary school came along with me to UGA, but his interest in studying political science and law was a very different track in college than my interest in studying the arts and theater. While I spent a lot of time initially with some of his new friends that he had met through his political science classes, I found that I wasn't nearly as interested in debating current events or engaging in political discussions as they were. I needed to find people who more closely shared my personal and professional interests.
I started becoming more active on campus. On Tuesday nights, I began meeting with people to play board and card games at a local gaming shop. I had always enjoyed playing games with friends on the weekends in high school, and this was the perfect way for me to meet college students and people from the local area who shared my interest. I also began auditioning for theater productions at the university to get involved with the Theatre Department as early as I could. Soon, I was acting in student- and university-run theatre productions, I was spending time between classes talking with people in the lounge in the theatre building, and I was the head of a student-run improv group on campus. I had more friends than I ever anticipated, and I couldn't have been happier with how productive my college life had become. Even with less time in my day to study, my grades began improving because of how happy I was with how I was spending my time and who I had found to spend my time with at college.
Not all incoming college freshmen will find friends in the same places that I did or find friends as quickly, but if you keep reaching out to other students, you'll soon have a network of people you enjoy spending time with. Remember to keep in touch with your high school friends as much as possible, look right outside your dorm room door to find other people looking for new friends, and discover people who share your interests to spend time with in and out of class.
College is just as much about succeeding outside of the classroom as it is about getting good grades. You'll find friends who will help you feel comfortable in your own skin and improve personally and professionally. Four years later, you'll be amazed by how many friends you met in college and how much you end up meaning to each other.

Great but not perfect
Great shovel, light and easy to assemble, handle is super comfy and better than traditional style, a little difficult to get a nice flat vertical cut when digging a snow pit for testing though. But if you like to shovel loads on snow fast with out discomfort it's pretty damn good!

Coos Bay man arrested in explosives probe
Posted: June 24, 2013 at 4:47 p.m.
COQUILLE, Ore. — A 38-year-old has been arrested in a case that began earlier this month when a State Police bomb squad destroyed improvised explosive devices found in a Coos Bay home.
The World newspaper reports that Coos County sheriff's deputies arrested 38-year-old Jay Yarbrough near Powers, southeast of Coos Bay. He had been sought on explosives and other charges, including domestic assault.
Deputies said they'd learned he was camping on an island in the South Fork Coquille River.
The sheriff's office says 48-year-old Tina Rossback of Coos Bay also was arrested, accused of harboring a fugitive. They were booked after police pulled over a flatbed pickup truck on Sunday.
The devices came to the attention of Coos Bay officers June 12 as they were investigating a domestic violence report.

My name is Lauren. I am a 29 year old Nashvillian with a stupid expensive sewing hobby. I have a hunky boyfriend, Landon, a mean cat named Amelia Earhart (I call her the Shitty Cat) and I drive a red Ford pick-up truck :)
In addition to sewing, I love riding my bicycle & eating tomatoes & watching Back to the Future. I am an avid knitter who knit over 15 sweaters (and one pair of socks, because, fuck socks), and I also dabble in embroidery and watercolor painting.
Necessary blogger disclaimer: From time to time, I do accept free merchandise in exchange for a blog post review. Whenever this happens, it is noted at the end of the post. I will ALWAYS give my honest opinion (I can't help it; I'm extremely opinionated), regardless of who paid for the item. I also occasionally will use affiliate links in my posts – primarily from Amazon. I hope y'all realize that I would never ever link to something just for the sake of linking to it – I will only link if I truly do recommend the product and have personally used it myself. That being said, I do get a small kickback if you purchase the product through the link. Just so we're all clear here! :)
Some FAQ for your faq'ing pleasure:
How do you pronounce "LLadybird"?
Same way you would pronounce Ladybird :) I put the extra L there because I'm an ass. Just pretend it's the same as Lloyd or Llama.
How/When did you learn how to sew?
I have been sewing for as long as I can remember (started when I was old enough to hold a needle), but I didn't get serious about it until I was 20. I am self-taught!
How/When did you learn how to knit?
I was taught by my wonderfully patient friend Sarah. She taught me pretty much everything I know!
What kind of dress form do you have?
My old dress form is a Dritz My Double, in the smallest size. It's actually kind of a crappy dress form – it's rickety, hard to adjust the size & forget about sticking pins in it! I don't recommend it, so I'm not linking it here. Sorryyyy! Anyway, I padded it out with the Fabulous Fit Dress Form System, which I DO recommend if you need to pad out your form to match your shape.
UPDATE As of June 2014, I now have a nice dress form! My form is the Professional Female Form with Collapsible Shoulders from The Shop Company. I DO recommend this form – it's solid and beautifully built. You can read my full review of the form in this post.
What kind of sewing machine do you have?
My main machine is Bernina 350 PE. I also have a Pfaff 7570 and a 1957 Singer Featherweight. My serger is a Babylock Imagine.
What kind of sewing machine do you suggest for me?
I don't know – it really depends on your budget and your sewing preferences! I feel like a sewing machine is kind of a personal purchase – there is no "right" answer. That being said, I don't recommend buying one at a big box store like Walmart. Go to your local sewing machine repair shop and peruse the goodies there. And don't buy the cheapest machine you can get your mitts on, especially if it's a serger – you will get exactly what you pay for, which is this case equals a possibly subpar machine that will make the sewing process very frustrating.
What kind of camera do you use?
LOL JUST KIDDING no one ever asks me this.
Anyway – it's a Canon G12. I use it with a remote (my current one is dying after about a year of use, so I'm on the lookout for a better one that I can actually recommend), and I edit my photos in Corel Paintshop Pro.
Do you ever sell the clothes that you make?
I used to, hence my blog title LLADYBIRD. You can see bunchies of photos here. I don't sell stuff anymore because, frankly, I'd rather make stuff for meeee :D. Sorry!
I do occasionally sell clothes from my own closet on Etsy, as I've been through a bit of a weight shift and lots of stuff no longer fits anymore. You can see the current offerings at my Etsy shop.
Does your sewing room really stay that clean all the time?
Can I use a picture from your blog on my blog?
Sure! Use whatever you want! All I ask is that you link it back to me :)
How do you manage to sew all this stuff? Do you work?
I get asked this question a LOT, so here's a whole post about it!
Will you sell/trace me one of the patterns you've used?
Probably not. Sorry!
Why do you use curse so much? It's offensive to me!
Because I do what I want when it comes to my own blog? Sorry, not sorry.

Devices able to log everything you read will soon go mainstream, letting you see for yourself whether your reading habits need revamping
ADDICTED to the Mail Online's infamous celebrity tittle-tattle and not spending enough time in Hemingway's company? A new breed of device could soon be logging everything you read, letting you see for yourself whether your reading habits need revamping.
The "quantified self" movement has spawned wearable gadgets like Fitbit and FuelBand, which monitor physical fitness, telling you how far you've walked or how many calories you've burned. How about logging how much you read on screens instead? Like a Fitbit for the mind.
A "cognitive activity tracker" developed by Kai Kunze at Osaka Prefecture University in Japan can tell how many words we read, how often and how fast we read, and even whether we are skim reading or actually concentrating on the content. It could also generate summaries of documents as you read them by logging which passages your eyes dwell on.
Such detail about what we look at, whether on a screen or on paper, is being made possible by the emergence of gaze-trackers – devices that monitor our eyes to analyse where we are looking. Swedish firm Tobii Technology is leading the way in commercialising the technology. It has developed a $99 system that uses infrared cameras trained on the cornea to watch for the eyeball's movements. These cameras can be built into a headset, such as Google Glass, or clipped to the top of a computer screen or tablet.
This year Tobii will launch its first consumer eye-tracking system for video games, in conjunction with gaming headset maker SteelSeries of Copenhagen, Denmark. This will allow in-game characters to react to the player's gaze, adding a spooky level of realism to first-person shooters. Crucially, the low price puts eye-tracking systems within everyone's reach, says Ralf Biedert, Tobii's chief interaction researcher, based in Stockholm.
Kunze is taking the technology in a different direction. In tests on volunteers wearing infrared eye-tracking glasses, his team found that their software could count the number of words read with an accuracy of about 94 per cent, and tell how fast you were reading, purely by looking at the movement of the eyes. By asking their volunteers to read different types of materials – novels, fashion magazines, newspapers, research papers and textbooks – they have shown that these various media can be discerned near perfectly from the way readers' eyes move around their telltale layouts.
For example, users would get Fitbit-style metrics on how much time they spend – or waste – reading celebrity gossip when they should be revising. Or, says Kunze, publishers could work out if textbook designs need rethinking by seeing how readers navigate their pages. If the software knows what the document is – a novel being read on a Kindle, say – then more advanced features can be used. "It could lead to adaptive reading materials in which the computer recognises I have trouble understanding a particular word and changes the text in real time to give me the definition in the next sentence," he says. Kunze will reveal more at the Augmented Human meeting in Kobe, Japan, in March.
Eye-tracking experts are abuzz. "I find it difficult to be consciously aware of my reading habits and my ability to absorb the textual information that surrounds me. So a reading log like this would really provide new insight, and hopefully help me improve," says Jayson Turner at the University of Lancaster, UK, who has developed a system that lets people drag and drop computer files using an eye-tracker. He thinks Kunze's system will be perfect for quickly summarising what fascinates us.
"It could infer which topics we find interesting, filtering out information we find irrelevant and recording what's important for later recall," Turner says.
Biedert says gaze-trackers could have a profound impact. "It's like when the computer mouse was invented: controlling computers with your eyes will be supported in more and more applications and we cannot tell yet what they will be."

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. – The University of New Hampshire women's ice hockey team, which won its fifth consecutive Hockey East regular-season crown and third straight league tournament title in 2008, garnered 125 total points to rank No. 4 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Women's College Hockey Preseason Poll that was released Tuesday.
The University of Minnesota-Duluth (190 points; 19 first-place votes) topped the poll and is followed by the University of Wisconsin (162), University of Minnesota (135), UNH and Harvard University (119). Mercyhurst College (100), St. Lawrence University (51), Dartmouth College (47), Providence College (40) and Boston College (28) complete the poll.
UNH, which last season advanced to the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive year and to the Frozen Four for the second time in that span, finished at No. 3 in the 2008 poll with a 33-4-1 overall record that included a 20-0-1 mark in Hockey East.
The Wildcats battle second-ranked Wisconsin in a two-game series Nov. 21-22 at Fort Myers, Fla. UNH also faces off against Harvard – twice, including Dec. 5 at home – and plays host to both St. Lawrence (Oct. 18) and Dartmouth (Jan. 16).
New Hampshire plays an exhibition game Sept. 26 against Brampton (Provincial Women's Hockey League) at the Whittemore Center. The Wildcats open the 2008-09 season Oct. 8 at home against Hockey East rival Boston College. Both games begin at 7 p.m.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) Authorities say they have captured a possible suspect in the death of a woman who was found injured Monday at a northern Iowa park.
Division of Criminal Investigation agent Mike Krapfl said Tuesday an autopsy is being conducted to determine the woman's cause of death, which appears to be foul play.
Krapfl said 39-year-old Tyrone Washington Jr. is considered a possible suspect in the death. He's being held in Scott County on traffic charges.
The woman called 911 seeking help before noon Monday at Swensrud Park in Northwood. She was found by deputies suffering injuries, and later died at a hospital.
Washington was captured four hours later near Walcott in eastern Iowa after a pursuit with a state trooper. Authorities say Washington was driving the victim's 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix.

Mathews Kids Kayak and Conservation Camp
Author: Laura Kellam
In one of the least populated and second smallest counties in the state of Virginia, Mathews County, 19 local youth were given the opportunity to experience the world that surrounds them in an atypical way. The county has 210 miles of waterways which many of the local youth are never given the opportunity to fully experience. Kayak Camp provided the youth with a chance to get out of the house and learn about the area's natural resources and maritime heritage in an interactive way. This weeklong camp allowed each group of kids to spend half the day in the water learning and improving their kayak skills, while the other half of the day concentrated on different land based environmental education topics. Learn how to make educational sessions on natural resources and maritime heritage fun.

FB rolls in box and 2x3 FB boards for sale
I have 2 boxes of FB insulation (rolls) for a pizza oven I didn't use and (4) 2'x3' boards and (2) pre-cut boards for a Premio or Casa90 oven. I'd like $70 for each roll and $60 for each board. For the pre-cut boards I'll take $50 each. If you take all the boards, then the price is $280. All prices are negotiable. I'm located in Northern Colorado. I built a Premio 90 and ended up with a bunch of extra material because my contractor elected not to use some of my supplies. I also have some stucco and veneer brick that you might be able to use. Make me an offer on the whole lot and help me clean out my garage! :D
Re: FB rolls in box and 2x3 FB boards for sale
Just because the contractor didn't use them, does not means that you don't need them! Are you sure that you have enough insulation. If they came with the kit, I don't think that they would sell way more than needed.
Re: FB rolls in box and 2x3 FB boards for sale
These are extra ... I got four boxes (one needed) of the insulation and enough FB boards to make two ovens. The retailer went out of business and just gave me his extra stock along with the oven kit.
Re: FB rolls in box and 2x3 FB boards for sale
price drop - 3 boxes of the insulation for $50 each and two pre-cut FB for $50. $200 total. If you're local (Northern Colorado), I have some stucco (a whole bucket unused) and some brick veneer I'll toss in for free).
I really would rather not ship this insulation. It's big, heavy, and would be a pain to deal with. Doesn't someone in Colorado want a great deal on this material?
Re: FB rolls in box and 2x3 FB boards for sale
All items have been sold locally .. thanks!

Hey guys
I don't have the videos/or mma expertise to offer; but I am the cities best personal trainer, and I can offer a workout to some of you guys.
PM me if your interested. I live in Toronto, so you would have to be able to meet me here.
Let me know, I'm always looking for someone new to train with.
Of course there would be no cost.
If you don't live in the city, but happen to stop by for business, let me know. I can probably still get you a good workout, as I have a very flexible schedule (I make my own hours).

One of the ironic consequences of the Maryland Court of Appeals' ruling in the matter of criminals sentenced to life in prison is that it undermines, with fine judicial reasoning, what two Democratic governors tried to keep in place with crass political considerations — that is, the denial of parole to longtime convicts who had earned release from prison.
Some of the inmates who are being released because of the court's ruling are in their 60s and 70s, and Marylanders might be surprised to learn that we really keep guys behind bars at those advanced ages. But many of those inmates might have been out of prison by now had it not been for Parris N. Glendening and Martin O'Malley.

Spider-Man it ain't, but silk spun by a microfluidic duct built at the University of Bayreuth in Germany could still guide the regrowth of damaged nerves or weave super-strong body armour. Inside the micrometre-sized device, two proteins experience changes in flow, pH and the concentrations of certain ions that unite them into a single thread (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, DOI: 10.1073/pnas.0709246105).
Twiddling your thumbs need no longer be a waste of time. Electrodes in an armband being developed by Microsoft researchers detect voltages generated by the wearer's forearm muscles as they move their fingers. These can be converted into electrical control signals, so if the armband is hidden under clothing it appears as if the wearer is controlling a device simply by lifting a finger.

Rivals checks in on the Big East
Kendall Rogers of Rivals.com has released an article about fall story lines around the Big East conference. The article discusses how Louisville's run to the CWS will impact the conference. Some people around the country forget that Louisville finished in third place in 2007 behind Rutgers and St. John's. It also discusses how the uniform start date will impact the conference but all schools need to put some money into their respective program. It also mentions how South Florida is one of the programs to watch in the Big East in 2008 and beyond. The full article is available here.
BYU Baseball
Rivals also posted a new article about the BYU Cougars. They will be returning 4 significant players from last year team but are getting a ton of players back from the missions which are required at BYU. The full preview about the Cougars of BYU is available here.

The "fittest" can be the most loving and selfless, not the most aggressive and violent. In any case, what happens in nature does not justify people behaving in the same way
The phrase "survival of the fittest", which was coined not by Darwin but by the philosopher Herbert Spencer, is widely misunderstood.
For starters, there is a lot more to evolution by natural selection than just the survival of the fittest. There must also be a population of replicating entities and variations between them that affect fitness - variation that must be heritable. By itself, survival of the fittest is a dead end. Business people are especially guilty of confusing survival of the fittest with evolution.
What's more, although the phrase conjures up an image of a violent struggle for survival, in reality the word "fittest" seldom means the strongest or the most aggressive. On the contrary, it can mean anything from the best camouflaged or the most fecund to the cleverest or the most cooperative. Forget Rambo, think Einstein or Gandhi.
What we see in the wild is not every animal for itself. Cooperation is an incredibly successful survival strategy. Indeed it has been the basis of all the most dramatic steps in the history of life. Complex cells evolved from cooperating simple cells. Multicellular organisms are made up of cooperating complex cells. Superorganisms such as bee or ant colonies consist of cooperating individuals.
Suicidal cells
When cooperation breaks down, the results can be disastrous. When cells in our bodies turn rogue, for instance, the result is cancer. So elaborate mechanisms have evolved to maintain cooperation and suppress selfishness, such as cellular "surveillance" programmes that trigger cell suicide if they start to turn cancerous.
Looked at from this point of view, the concept of the survival of the fittest could be used to justify socialism rather than laissez-faire capitalism. Then again, the success of social insects could be used to argue for totalitarianism. Which illustrates another point: it is nonsense to appeal to the "survival of the fittest" to justify any economic or political ideology, especially on the basis that it is "natural".
Is cannibalism fine because polar bears do it? Is killing your brother or sister fine because nestlings of many bird species do it? Is murdering your children fine because mice sometimes eat their own pups? Is paedophilia fine because bonobo adults have sex with juveniles?
Powerful grip
Just about every kind of behaviour that most of us regard as "unnatural" turns out to be perfectly natural in some nook or cranny of the animal kingdom. No one can plausibly argue that this justifies humans behaving in the same way.
Yet even though such examples expose the utter absurdity of appealing to what is "natural" to judge right from wrong - the naturalistic fallacy - we seem to have a strange blind spot when it comes to evolution. Survival of the fittest has been claimed to justify all kinds of things, from free markets to eugenics. Such notions still have a powerful grip in some circles.
However, natural selection is simply a description of what happens in the living world. It does not tell us how we should behave.

Shannen Doherty Going to Israel - Gets Attacked on Twitter
90210 star announces she will travel to Israel next week
By: David Shear
Doherty, who amazingly looks more beautiful at 41 than she did at 21, replied to the attacks on twitter by posting, "Lol ok political activist... Try not judging and realizing that other cultures and the study of them, provides insight."
Doherty is just one of several celebrities whose recent travel announcements to Israel were followed by verbal attacks on Twitter by the BDS movement and other pro-Palestinian organizations. Sometimes the attacks fall on deaf ears such is the case with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers who are schedules to perform in Israel on September 10, 2012, other times the celebrities cancel their trips, such as Elvis Costello, who cited politics as his reason, and Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp who also caved under political pressure.
Based on Doherty's tweets, it looks like the star will stick with her travel plans, even announcing that she might also be traveling to Russia soon, fully prepared for whatever backlash the twitter sphere might throw at her:
"I'm also possibly going to Russia in a few weeks so prepare now for your angle on that trip..."

January 23, 2013
Dear Olentangy families,
Olentangy's eight school buildings located west of the river spent part of the day in a precautionary lockdown due to a police situation on that side of the district. Our partners at the Delaware County Sheriff's Office alerted the district they were searching for a man with outstanding warrants and advised that a level one lockdown would be appropriate for the buildings closest to man's last known location.
For clarification, a precautionary – or level one – lockdown means schools further restrict entrance to and exit from the buildings, increase scrutiny of visitors, and restrict student activity outside the buildings. From the student/teacher perspective, all activities continue as normal inside the building.
Throughout the day, deputies provided updates on their search and alerted the district that the warrants were for non-violent offenses such as disorderly conduct and O.V.I. The Sheriff's Office advised us to keep precautionary lockdown procedures in place throughout the remainder of the school day and had deputies assist with dismissal by having a patrol car in the vicinity of every affected school. At this time we have been advised to resume normal security procedures tomorrow, which include keeping exterior doors locked. We will continue to stay in close contact with the Sheriff's Office.
Thank you to all of our families for their cooperation and to the Sheriff's Office for its continued partnership in our efforts to keep students and staff safe.
Mark Raiff
Executive Director of Academics
