Before I begin, understand that nothing in this article matters more than what Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith is going through. According Sal Pal on ESPN (above video), early this morning Torrey Smith was informed that his younger brother, Tevin Smith was killed in a motorcycle accident in Northern Virginia. Smith left the team hotel at around 2 a.m. but also informed head coach John Harbaugh that he wanted to play tonight.
The NFL season is just three weeks old but the Baltimore Ravens are clearly at a turning point in their young season. With a loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday night, Ray Lewis, Joe Flacco and the rest of the purple and black risk owning a losing record for the first time since 2008. That season with a rookie head coach and quarterback, the Ravens began the season 2-0 before losing three straight to Pittsburgh, Tennessee and Indianapolis, to fall to 2-3 after six weeks. Of course, the Ravens would collect themselves and go on to finish 11-5, which started their current run of four consecutive playoff appearances, the most in the NFL.
The major difference between now and then is Ray Lewis was 33, and the Ravens defense had surrendered more than 300 total yards just once (Week 5 @ Colts). With Willis McGahee, LeRon McClain and Ray Rice piling up 133.2 rushing yards per game, the offense had an identity, which was to establish the run first.
The attitudes in the locker room following a loss back then were, "we need to be better as a team" instead of blaming game officials. The Ravens back then rarely beat themselves and if they did, they seemed to learn from them and correct the problem.
The 2012 Baltimore Ravens entered the season as a team that many justifiably believed were a legitimate top five team in the league. Having established the Ravens as a gold standard franchise in the NFL since taking over in 2008, head coach John Harbaugh's team has 50 wins during his tenure. Only the Steelers and tonight's opponent have more with 51.
It is likely that I may be coming down a bit hard on Harbs boys after just two weeks. Beating the Eagles in their home opener is a very tough task for any team to accomplish. However, one could argue that a loss like the one suffered last week to the Eagles suggests that the Ravens will always be knocking on the door of elite (and that includes their quarterback) if they fail to learn from their own recent history.
Oh by the way, Sunday's win over the Ravens was the first time the Eagles won a home opener since 2008. They lost to New Orleans in 09, Green Bay in 10, and the NY Giants thumped Philly 29-16 last year.
In case you did not put that little puzzle together, all three of those teams went onto to win the Super Bowl that same season. I wrote an article last year following the Ravens Week 2 loss in Tennessee telling Ravens fans to relax, and stop overreacting. I wrote that the Ravens would be just fine and the Titans had just thoroughly outplayed them, in other words, the Ravens got beat.
Last Sunday, the Ravens beat themselves and gave away their second win of the 2012 season to the Eagles. When you toss in the fact that Philly turned the ball over four times, and still won, the loss becomes cause for concern. The way the Ravens lost, their reaction to how they lost and their attitude moving forward is disturbing heading into tonight's game vs. the Patriots. You can use that argument that the boys will be just fine, after all, they were 1-1 after two weeks the past two seasons and finished with identical 12-4 records.
While that may be true, they were a different kind of 1-1 in 2010 and last season. This team now has five years in the same system and has a ton of playoff experience. If some drastic self-evaluating didn't take place this week at the team's training facility known as the "Castle", then a 1-1 "We will be OK" Ravens team, will be looking at a panicked fan base wanting answers from their 1-2 stunned group of players. While it is never a bad thing to be a confident group, it is not a good thing to believe you are better than you are showing on the field now. That currently describes the Ravens defense.
Bill Parcells said you are only as good as your record, or in the case of the Ravens defense, your ranking, which currently stands at 27 out of 32 teams. Playing without the 2011 Defensive Player of The Year in Terrell Suggs, Baltimore's once vaunted defense is allowing 404 yards per game and when you consider the Texans have not allowed an offense to crack 200 yards yet, the Ravens have some catching up to do.
The Ravens schedule has them facing 11 Pro-Bowl quarterbacks in 13 games this season and while they are 1-1 vs. two of them so far, I hardly consider Andy Dalton and Michael Vick the best of group. Ray Lewis and company handled Andy Dalton in Week 1, but last week failed to contain Vick. The Eagles fleet footed signal caller threw for 371 yards, and Philadelphia's offense gouged the Ravens "D" for 486 total yards.
Flacco was not the only leader laying blame elsewhere last Sunday, Ray Lewis had some for the temporary zebras as well. Ray gets the benefit of the doubt but he is not blind, No.52 has to see what is going on within his own defense and it has to scare the hell out of him.
Lewis knows the Ravens defensive backs, who since the first week of the preseason have been blowing coverage's on both sides of the field, continues to struggle and looked bad last week.
Carey Williams looks lost, cannot tackle, and thinks he's a lot better than he really is playing. I wonder if with each passing week Williams is starting to regret turning down the Ravens offer of a $15 million contract extension for three years. Williams play on the field is like the banker in Deal or No Deal and right now, the Ravens CB is opening nothing but high dollar suitcases, which is forcing the offers to drop when the phone rings. If he does not step up his play, the suitcase the Ravens originally offered Williams will be long gone.
Jimmy Smith is hot and cold and while that was good enough to make him the Ravens top draft choice two years ago, quarterbacks expose the "cold" aspect of your game very fast in the NFL. Lardarius Webb is having a great season and Ed Reed is Ed Reed but as you saw last week, that's not always a good thing. Thinking he had safety protection over the top, which he should have had, Carey Williams allowed Jeremy Maclin to slip by down the left sideline. Reed, the Ravens future Hall of Fame safety chose to creep up on the Eagles QB as he was rolling left but that allowed Maclin to slip behind the entire Ravens defense and become the only player on the field in the end zone, eventually with the football in hand for six points. Paul Kruger didn't play but has been ineffective in place of T-Sizzle. Kruger cannot set the edge on the run, which his replacement, Albert McClellan actually did with six tackles and holding LeShon McCoy under 100 yards. But overall, the Ravens rush defense has allowed 129 yards on the ground per game and has given up three rushing touchdowns after allowing 10 during the entire regular season last year. Ray Lewis leads the Ravens with 19 tackles and so far they have six sacks to match their six turnovers (3 INT's 3 FR).
Since the start of preseason, the Ravens have allowed receivers to have some nice games. Julio Jones had over 100 yards, and so did Calvin Johnson during the preseason. Even rookie Justin Blackmon of the Jaguars anemic offense had over 70 yards receiving during the all-important dress rehearsal preseason game. During Week 1, the Baltimore secondary allowed 156 receiving yards to Andrea Hawkins and AJ Green and last week, Eagles tight end Brent Celek and Eagles wideout DeSean Jackson combined to catch 15 passes for 271 yards.
Celek was open more than a 24-hour convenience store on the left or right side of the field. Surprisingly, the Ravens held Eagles receivers to just three catches for 20 yards over the middle of the gridiron last Sunday but Eagles pass catchers had their way on each sideline. Philadelphia was 6-for-7 for 148 yards down the deep left or right sideline with one touchdown.
I don't know about you, but I'm not sure what the replacement officials had to with all of the busted coverage's we saw last Sunday. Ray Lewis said this week to check back at the end of the season to where the defense is ranked, I would rather they just play as the top five unit each week that we are used to seeing with an occasional bad game thrown in. Now, the Ravens defense, the vaunted Ravens defense must climb from the back of the pack like a rookie NASCAR driver at the Daytona 500. That doesn't always end up well when the bunch gets to racing real close at those speeds and this may not either with all of the Pro-Bowl passers on the schedule if they don't start rising up the charts tonight.
Offensively speaking, and this is a far bigger matter than it was made out to be this past week in the Baltimore media, the Ravens still lack a clear offensive identity, and after five years, it is simple inexcusable.
Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and quarterback Joe Flacco may know what they want to do and how they want to do it, but an identity only comes when you accomplish your offensive game plan with success and consistency and that must happen from week-to-week. The Ravens seem to think that just because everyone knows what you are trying to do, you have an identity.
During the past two seasons and unfortunately, heading into a third, I am getting plenty tired of hearing the arrogant responses from the players and coaches at 1 Winning Drive concerning poor play calling and bad situational decisions. Asking why and with a 10-point lead on the road, the Ravens threw 12 passes and ran just twice to start the second half last Sunday in Philadelphia, is not a bad question. Ray Rice did not take a hand-off from Joe Flacco until there was 5:30 left to play in the third quarter and that deserves some justification. Despite extending their lead to 23-17 on their final scoring drive midway through the final quarter, Cameron and Flacco continued to throw the ball. They ran five times and passed four times on the Ravens final scoring drive.
Learning from past mistakes does not seem to be catching on with the Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. While Joe Flacco does appear to be more mature in terms of leadership and some of his mechanics, everyone knew Joe was throwing that little swing flair pass to Ray Rice last week on fourth down during the Ravens last possession. With two shots to get a yard and a half, the Ravens failed and the Eagles took a knee for the victory.
If you want further proof that the Ravens are still very much in flux over what kind of offense they are ask yourself these two questions. If the Ravens are trailing by 3 points and time is not a factor, who should have the ball in their hands making plays? Then ask yourself, why doesn't he? Ok, so it's three questions, and the third one is a bit more complex, or not; entering the season, the Ravens were 21-1 when Ray Rice touched the football 20 or more times in a game, do numbers lie?
The next area of concern is how the team handled itself following last week's loss in Philadelphia. Joe Flacco and Ray Lewis blamed the officiating and John Harbaugh seemed to echo that sentiment with the way he did not answer reporters questions throughout the week, offering a smile and providing suggestive answers to questions about replacement officials hoping to avoid fines with his responses.
While I'm not buying into the whole elite QB talk when it comes to Joe Flacco, mainly because the fact it came up at all isn't his fault, I wanted to hear Joe Cool own up to his poor performance during the second half of last week's game. There wasn't one official on the field that had a damn thing to do with Flacco completing 8 of 25 passes (32%) with an interception.
I would have loved to hear Flacco simply say he and his offense did not play good enough. I want to know why he is putting too much air under his throws and why he is checking down to Dennis Pitta so quickly these days.
You did not hear Tom Brady and Bill Belichick blame anyone but themselves and their teams poor play for their loss at home to the underrated Arizona Cardinals last week. In fact, if anything, the Patriots were eerily calm about the loss and seemed business as usual following their first home opener loss since 2001. The Patriots know that if they lose tonight their NFL record of 157 consecutive weeks with a winning record will be over.
If the Ravens truly aspire as an organization to have what the Patriots and Steelers possess, then I hope they understand, namely Flacco, Harbaugh, and Cameron, that they must be willing to accept blame.
You hear players and coaches say all the time that the average fan has no idea what is going on out there on the field. While that may be true, most of us can identify a poor throw, and a missed tackle and we most certainly can identify bad play calling. I like that Harbaugh does not call his players out during a press conference, but if your baby is ugly, then sometimes call it so. It does not hurt to say we played poorly as a team and were outcoached.
Not only do I want to know why the Ravens did not continue to give Ray Rice the ball last week, but also I want to know why the Ravens have not learned from not giving Ray Rice the ball enough in situations just as last week. Yes, Rice had 22 total touches last week and that number defies all logic in terms of when Rice touches the ball 20 or more times in a game the Ravens usually win. However, Rice was averaging a little over six yards per carry and with what the Ravens just handed the fifth year back in terms of a contract, I think it would be OK to ask him for 30 touches, or OH MY GOODNESS 35 in a game when his teams needs him.
Would giving Rice another six, seven, or eight touches have mad e a difference? Just like the horrendous game in Jacksonville last year, and then again in Seattle a few weeks after the loss on Monday night football, we will never know. Nevertheless, it sure would be nice to find out with a 10-point lead on the road in Week 2.
The point to all of this is, why in the hell are we still asking this question? Ray Rice is the key to the Ravens offense, period, and end of story! Do you think Cam Cameron even knows that under his guidance during the past four seasons the Ravens have rushed for 130.8 yards per game, fourth most in the NFL. Baltimore also has 71 rushing TDs, ranking fourth most. Oh yeah, they have the second most wins during that span as well.
The Ravens have an opportunity to put all of this behind them with a win tonight against the Patriots. Baltimore has never beaten the Patriots during a regular season game and is 0-2 at home. Tonight is an opportunity to prove to the football world that last week was merely a blip on the radar instead of a prelude to a long season in the Charm city.
I said during my radio show this week that last week's loss could be the one that makes the Ravens 12-4, or 11-5 again, instead of 13-3 or the 14-2 record they may need to host the AFC title game. You never know how bad a loss is until the season is done, but I circled last weeks beacuse I have a sick feeling it could loom large. The same could be said for winning games against teams like the Patriots tonight.
A win for Baltimore tonight and maybe the Ravens are hosting the AFC Championship game instead of travelling to New England to play it. You never know how these things play out, but what I do know is this, Joe Flacco, Ray Lewis and the rest of the Baltimore Ravens better play their best, most disciplined, mistake free football against Tom Brady and the rest of Bill Belichick's team tonight.
Including the playoffs, the Ravens have won 12 straight games at M&T Bank Stadium, the longest home winning streak in the NFL. The team that was second on that list had their home winning streak snapped with their first loss in a home opener since 2001 last Sunday. That team will be looking to end the Ravens streak tonight and you had better believe the New England Patriots will do whatever it takes to accomplish their mission.
The good news for Ravens fans is that Baltimore is the better team. The Patriots cannot protect Tom Brady and their defense, which is ranked second in the NFL, is still very young and inexperienced. The only way the Ravens lose tonight is the same way they lost week, and last year against the Patriots in the AFC Championship game, if they beat themselves and give the game away.

This is a written and photographical guide to the cremation as performed by Hinsdale Animal Cemetery & Crematory. The information contained within pertains to how we conduct cremation services. If you are not using us for your pet's after-care, please thoroughly inspect the facilities you or your veterinarian intend to use since most pet cremation facilities do not perform cremations with this level of care.
Included Convenience Urn
This urn is intended as a storage container, not a display urn. It is the same container widely used in the human cremation industry. Cremated remains are sealed inside a plastic bag, just as with other urns for ease of transfer and security of storage. This plastic urn may also be used for burial of cremated remains.
*** If a display urn is desired, please select one while at the Crematory, choose one here on our website, or ask to see the Clinic's Urn Catalog Book ***
Proper Identification
Your pet will be properly identified by us or one of our veterinary partners at all times. Furthermore, a chain of custody will be established throughout the removal, cremation, and returns processes. The method of identification we use is color-coded card stock tags in conjunction with carbon paper authorization forms containing all necessary information regarding your pet. While decidedly low tech, this system allows us to identify your pet by name and description rather than an impersonal tracking number. Since we give each pet our personal care and attention, this system has worked flawlessly.
1) Viewing Room
In this room, you may take time to say goodbye to your beloved pet in private.
You will be able to witness any portion of the cremation process that you are comfortable with, but are not obligated to do so. Please let us know if you have any special requests or considerations.
The same care is taken with your pet if you choose not to view the cremation or are having your pet cremated by us through your veterinarian.
2) Our Cremation Units
We use the same type of equipment that is used for the cremation of humans. These cremation units are ideal for single-pet private cremations. The Power Pak II is the most popular cremation unit in the country. The Power Pak Jr. is simply a smaller version of the Power Pak II intended for pet cremation.
3) Preparing for Cremation
In order to begin the cremation, the unit must be pre-heated to a temperature mandated by the state. If your pet's cremation is not the first of the day, this preheating will have already taken place.
The inside of the cremation unit will have been thoroughly swept out with no fewer than two different steel brushes before your pet's cremation begins.
4) Placement of Your Pet into the Cremation Unit
Your pet will be placed into the cremation unit, taking all possible care to do so with reverence and dignity.
Your pet may be placed into the unit in a container, or as is, whatever circumstance dictates.
Those with later viewing appointments may see combustion begin immediately despite our best efforts to cool down the cremation unit. If this is a possibility, you will be advised by our staff.
5) The Cremation Process Begins
Immediately following your pet's placement into the cremation unit, the door to the unit will be closed. It will be necessary for our staff to monitor the cremation for several minutes.
If you are present for the cremation, someone will check on you to see if you have questions or if there is anything we can help you with shortly after the cremation process begins.
6) Cremation in Process
From time to time, one of our operators may open the door to the cremation unit in order to check on the cremation process. It may be necessary for the operator to make adjustments to your pet's remains so as to ensure complete and expedient combustion. This portion may be difficult for some to witness.
7) End of The Process
Once the cremation is complete, your pet's cremated remains will be thoroughly swept out of the cremation unit using no fewer than two different stainless steel brushes. Doing so ensures that all of the recoverable cremated remains are retrieved from the unit.
8) Cooling and Processing
As soon as the cremation burner is turned off, the cooling process begins. It continues as the cremated remains are swept into the aluminum cooling hopper you see at the bottom of the cremation unit. After the hopper spends some time on a cooling rack (up to 20 minutes for large pets), the cremated remains are spread on a tray attached to our cremated remains processor. This processor is the same model that is used in the human funeral industry. At this point, anything that may damage our processing equipment, i.e. surgical plates or screws, are separated from the cremated remains. They can be returned to you if requested prior to the cremation.
9) Processing and Packaging
Using a human cremated remains processor, the brittle cremated remains are reduced to a fine powder for placement into an urn and/or cremation jewelry and keepsakes. We use a soft brush in between steps to ensure that all of your pet's cremated remains come through the process together. No matter the type of urn used, we always seal the cremated remains in a plastic bag and identify them with a completed sticker. Processing remains in this way allows for the remains to be scattered if desired and for easier placement in the urn.
Memorial (Communal) Cremation
Our memorial cremation is a dignified and reverent manner of disposition for those who may not wish to receive their pets cremated remains back. In this process, several pets are cremated together and the resulting cremated remains are scattered over cemetery grounds. It is not possible to tell specifically where any particular pet is scattered, as we use the whole cemetery as a memorial scattering garden and aim to evenly distribute these cremated remains over the grounds. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding this process. If your pet has already been cremated and you would like to inquire as to the specific date of cremation and the general area of scattering, please feel free to call us at (630) 323-5120 during normal business hours. We encourage visitation 365 days a year, daylight hours. Please visit us when you feel the time is right. Visiting the beautiful cemetery grounds where your pet's cremated remains have been interred can be a tremendously comforting experience.
You are always welcome here.

Four new studies offer powerful evidence of the dangers of smoking and the health benefits of quitting or not being exposed to secondhand smoke.
Smoking in the UK– Between 1996 amd 2001 the Million Women Study started following more than one million women aged 50 to 65 years of age. In a report published in the Lancet, trial investigators, including renowned epidemiologist Richard Peto, found that 12-year mortality was significantly higher in women with a history of smoking compared to women who never smoked (rate ratio 2.76, CI 2.71-2.81). Smokers, the authors calculated, lose 10 years of life. The good news is that stopping smoking before the age of 40 reduces the excess mortality by 90%.
Smoking in Japan– The Life Span Study, published in BMJ, was started in 1950 and has followed more than 65,000 men and women in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. The results were consistent with the Million Women Study in the UK: the rate ratio for mortality was more than doubled for smokers compared to nonsmokers both for men (2.21, CI 1.97-2.48) and for women (2.61, CI 1.98-3.44). The investigators also reported that stopping smoking before age 35 eliminated almost all of the risk associated with smoking.
Smoke-free legislation meta-analysis– Smoking is not just a personal decision that has individual health effects. A new meta-analysis published in Circulation found that smoke-free legislation results in immediate reductions in hospital admissions or deaths for coronary events (RR .848, CI .816-.881), other heart disease (RR .610, CI .440-.847), cerebrovascular accidents (RR .840, CI .753-.936) and respiratory disease (RR .760, CI .682-.846). The authors, Crystal Tan and Stanton Glatz, also report that the biggest reductions in events were associated with the most stringent smoke-free laws.
Smoke-free legislation in Minnesota– Here's one more study to lend support to the above meta-analysis. In a paper published in Archives of Internal Medicine Richard Hurt and colleagues analyzed data before and after the implementation of a smoke-free law in Olmsted County, Minnesota and found a significant 33% reduction in the incidence of MI from 150.8 to 100.7 per 100000 people and a trend in the reduction of sudden cardiac death by 17% from 109.1 to 92.0 per 100,000 people. In an accompanying commentary, Sara Kalkhoran and Pamela Ling write that as "the evidence base documenting the positive health outcomes" of smoke-free legislation grows, "we should prioritize the enforcement of smoke-free policies, eliminating loopholes in existing policies as well as encouraging expansion of smoke-free policies to include multiunit housing, motor vehicles, casinos, and outdoor locations. Exposure to SHS should not be a condition of employment, and all workers, including those of lower income and those in the service and hospitality industries, should have equal protection from SHS exposure."

Mia King clinched the Bulldog win Saturday over Cal.
Feb. 9, 2013
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.----Sixth-ranked Georgia advanced to the semifinals of the ITA National Team Indoors with a 4-1 win over seventh-ranked California Saturday.
Up next, the Bulldogs (4-0) face top seed and defending tournament champion UCLA as the Bruins edged Miami (Fla.) 4-2 in their quarterfinal match at the Boar's Head Sports Club. The semifinal match begins at noon.
Georgia captured the doubles point and then picked up singles wins from a trio of freshmen in Silvia Garcia, Mia King and Makenzie Craft to register its latest victory over the Golden Bears.
"We played absolutely fantastic in doubles and that set the tone for the rest of the match," said Georgia coach Jeff Wallace. "We had good energy from start to finish. Our three freshmen came up big in singles and the other three Bulldogs in the lineup played pretty well too. Overall, this was a great match for us and we're looking forward to another opportunity Sunday."
Georgia's doubles wins came at the No. 1 and 3 spots in the lineup. The team of Garcia and Kate Fuller posted an 8-2 victory over Zsofi Susanyi and Klara Fabikova at No. 1 to clinch the first team point. Georgia's No. 3 team of King and Lauren Herring cruised to an 8-1 win over Tayler Davis and Laura Posylkin.
In singles, seventh-ranked Susanyi evened the match with a 6-0,6-4 win over 18th-ranked Maho Kowase at No. 1. The Bulldogs went up 2-1 after Garcia defeated Lynn Chi 6-4,6-2 at No. 3. Then, Craft crushed Estlander 6-0,6-1 at No. 6 for a 3-1 advantage.
King provided the match-clinching point with a 6-4,6-1 decision over Kelly Chui in the No. 5 contest. She is 6-1 as a Bulldog. Herring and Fuller did not finish their singles matches with the team outcome decided.
This is the 23rd appearance for the Bulldogs at the National Team Indoors. Georgia is 49-19 all-time including winning the title three times, most recently in 2002.

My previous article raised two objections to the public display of the Ten Commandments in the United States. First, such displays can function as a veneer masking substantial disregard for the religions. Second, the claim that "Judeo-Christian" symbols are appropriate for public display on the grounds that the United States either was or is a "Christian nation" rely on nostalgia for something which never existed and the illusion of something which does not exist. Additionally, I – a committed adherent to the Christian tradition and ordained minister in the United Methodist Church – do not support the public display of the Decalogue for three additional reasons.
3. The first subset of the Ten Commandments presupposes religious convictions which should not be legislated. While the Decalogue does contain prohibitions against some behaviors banned by secular law – murder, theft, and false witness – as well as behaviors which many cultures consider inappropriate – dishonor of parents, adultery, and covetousness – these commandments are preceded by imperatives which require devotion to the God who delivered the Hebrew refugees from Egyptian bondage. The commandments which concern the relationship between religious adherents and their God are appropriate for obedience by those who worship that God, but have little public secular relevance. Holding the American public to the religious standards of the Decalogue is a continuation of the imperialist arrogance through which Western Christians imposed their religious and political ideologies on a colonized world.
4. Christians frequently impose the Ten Commandments on others while simultaneously grossly misunderstanding them. Stephen Colbert's famous exposure of Rep. Lynn Westmoreland's desire to mandate the public display of the Decalogue even while being unable to recall its substance is quite telling. Even when they remember the wording of the Ten Commandments, Christians frequently neglect the meaning of their original Hebrew context. Popular reductions or distortions of the third, fourth, and ninth commandments to prohibitions against coarse language, skipping church on Sundays, and telling lies cheapen the Decalogue and strip it of its rich religious meaning. In fact, in the Hebrew, the Ten Commandments are not commandments at all, but statements. They are not in the imperative ("Do not commit adultery") but rather in the indicative ("You will not commit adultery"); as such, they are a vision for an idealized religious community rather than legal restrictions on moral life. Christians must overcome their tendency to misappropriate and misinterpret the Decalogue before they even consider presenting the Ten Commandments to the American public.
5. For Christians, the Ten Commandments are not central to the ethics of the religious community. When Jesus was asked which Hebrew Bible commandment was the most important, he actually cited two: love God (Deuteronomy 6:5) and love neighbor (Leviticus 19:18). Both of these commandments are among the 613 obligations in the Torah, but neither is part of the Decalogue. This is not to say that the New Testament is silent regarding the Ten Commandments. Matthew's Sermon on the Mount is an intentional re-presentation of the law-giving scene involving Moses on the mountaintop, whence the latter carried the stone tablets to the gathered community.
Yet the teachings of Jesus do not merely reaffirm the Ten Commandments, but rather reframe them. With the exception of the prohibition against stealing, the New Testament reinterprets each of the Ten Commandments, though not systematically. The focal point for the ethics of the Christian community is therefore not found in the ten rules that so many want to see displayed in American courthouses, but rather in the embodied teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. However, there is no discernable public clamor for the public display of the Sermon on the Mount. Imagine if the central litany of the Sermon on the Mount – the Beatitudes – was to adorn the lentils of American courthouses. The poor in spirit and those who hunger for righteousness (in Luke's version, simply the poor and the hungry) are named as blessed, happy. Why aren't Christians loudly calling for the Sermon on the Mount to be displayed in halls of judgment? It is because this would wreak havoc on the justice system. The Sermon on the Mount urges meekness, forgiveness, sacrificial charity, and unconditional love. We don't want to think of justice in those categories. We want justice to be about retribution, payment, and punishment. And this is where many Christians commit the age-old heresy called Marcionism – they differentiate between the "God of the Old Testament," a God of wrath, anger, and justice, and the "God of the New Testament," a God of forgiveness, love, and mercy. Even though orthodox theology asserts that there is and has been only one God (and even though the God presented in the Hebrew Bible is categorically "a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness" [Exodus 34:6]), Christians who want to confront actual and potential criminals with a list of ethical prohibitions tend to employ the "God of wrath" to that end. Patience, compassion, and acceptance are not divine attributes we want our legal system to embody, so we display the Ten Commandments in raw, unexplained or misinterpreted form as an expression of jurisprudential morality.
For these five reasons I cannot support the public display of the Ten Commandments in the United States. As a Christian, I am persuaded that it is the duty of the Church to give witness to her perceived experience of grace, love, and redemption. As an American, I am persuaded that not only Christianity, but all religious and nonreligious ideologies deserve a voice in the public forum. But at the end of the day, the display of the Ten Commandments is not about witness. It is about rhetoric, power, and retributive justice. This I, as a believer in American pluralism and a devout adherent to the Christian narrative, simply cannot endorse.

John Allen Paulos
|July 4, 1945
|Temple University
|Alma mater
|University of Wisconsin–Madison
|Known for
|Author of books and articles on a variety of topics, especially the combatting of innumeracy
|Notable awards
|2003 AAAS Award
John Allen Paulos (born July 4, 1945) is an American professor of mathematics at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He has gained fame as a writer and speaker on mathematics and the importance of mathematical literacy. Paulos writes about many subjects, especially of the dangers of mathematical innumeracy; that is, the layperson's misconceptions about numbers, probability, logic.
Early life[edit]
Paulos was born in Denver Colorado and grew up in Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In an interview he described himself as lifelong skeptic.[1] He went to high school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. After his Bachelor of Mathematics at University of Wisconsin (1967) and his Master of Science at University of Washington (1968) he received his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Wisconsin–Madison (1974). He was also part of the Peace Corps in the seventies.[2]
His academic work is mainly in mathematical logic and probability theory.
His book Innumeracy: Mathematical Illiteracy and its Consequences (1988) was an influential bestseller and A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper (1995) extended the critique. In his books Paulos discusses innumeracy with quirky anecdotes, scenarios and facts, encouraging readers in the end to look at their world in a more quantitative way.
He has also written on other subjects, such as the mathematical and philosophical basis of humor in Mathematics and Humor and I Think, Therefore I Laugh,the stock market in A Mathematician Plays the Stock Market, quantitative aspects of narrative in Once Upon a Number, and the arguments for God in Irreligion.
Paulos also wrote a mathematics-tinged column for the UK newspaper The Guardian and is a Committee for Skeptical Inquiry fellow (formally known as Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP)).[3]
Paulos has appeared frequently on radio and television, including a four-part BBC adaptation of A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper and appearances on the Lehrer News Hour, 20/20, Larry King, and David Letterman.[4]
In 2001 Paulos introduced and taught a course on quantitative literacy for journalists at the Columbia University School of Journalism. The course stimulated further programs at Columbia and elsewhere in precision and data-driven journalism, programs that have now become common.
His long-running "ABCNews.com" monthly column Who's Counting[5] deals with mathematical aspects of stories in the news. All the columns over a 10- year period are archived here.[5]
He is married, the father of two, and the grandfather of three.
Paulos tweets frequently at @JohnAllenPaulos - The Top 50 Science Stars of Twitter
"Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security." from introduction to A Mathematician Plays the Stock Market
"Mathematics is no more computation than literature is typing" from Innumeracy
"The most amazing coincidence of all would be the complete absence of all coincidence" from "Innumeracy" and "Irreligion"
"It is not just mathematics and it is not just storytelling, it is something inextricably yoked together"[1]
"Having freedom of speech only when you don't need it is a bit like having a flashlight that is powered by the sun" sample Paulos tweet
"Now for better news of a kind of immortal persistence. First, take a deep breath. Assume Shakespeare's account is accurate and Julius Caesar gasped "You too, Brutus" before breathing his last. What are the chances you just inhaled a molecule which Caesar exhaled in his dying breath? The surprising answer is that, with probability better than 99 percent, you did just inhale such a molecule."[6]
"There remains a chasm, and perhaps always will be one, between stories and statistics. But nevertheless, it's worth building bridges across this chasm whenever possible"[7]
"Measuring the tiny gap in votes between the two candidates (Bush and Gore) is a bit like measuring the lengths of two bacteria with a yardstick. The Florida electoral system, in particular, is incapable of making such fine determinations." from Measuring Bacteria With a Yardstick
Paulos received the 2013 JPBM (Joint Policy Board for Mathematics) Award for Communicating Mathematics on a Sustained Basis to Large Audiences.[8]
Paulos received the 2003 AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) Award for Promoting the Public Understanding of Science and Technology.[9]
In 2002 he received the University Creativity Award at Temple University[10]
Paulos' article "Counting on Dyscalculia," which appeared in Discover Magazine in 1994, won a Folio Award that year[11]

As to the others who have stated how amazing Guro Dan is, I concur. I have had the good fortune to attend some seminars with him and I am consistently blown away by his ability, and his dedication. He has so much to show and teach that his seminars end up like trying to take a drink from a fire hose.

Adeleke Adeite
I will be waiting, waiting for your kisses
at the shores where dreams once spurred reality,
trailing the gentle breeze of my lonely nite
to the streams where love splatters eternal bliss.
I will be waiting, waiting for your kisses,
blown from a distance beyond my reach,
a place where only our feelings once survived,
where moonlit rose hides under the scent of waves.
Romantic thoughts of realistic moments
when love looms in the endless escapades
of unsealed lips and uncensored swirls.
Alone I swim in the waters of wishes
relishing the lips of love on my dark dimple
as a starlight strand stole through the empty skies,
and the whirlwind erode the soil at the seashore
where the mist of your gaze roused sensual serenity.
I will be waiting, waiting for your kisses,
right here in the midst of somewhere,
the broken flute still plays to grace our duet
I hear the softening ripples of a dying love,
as my arms against yours get colder
and tender tweets fades into silence,
as autumn's armour freezes my teardrops.

Press Release
The Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association (ICVA) has booked the 94th annual convention of the Daughters of the Nile for June 13-17, 2010.
The convention, called the Supreme Session, is expected to draw more than 4,000 attendees, fill 6,700 hotel room nights and generate $4.3 million in direct visitor spending.
�We are delighted to welcome this outstanding philanthropic and service-oriented organization to our city,� said Don Welsh, ICVA president and CEO.
�Harmony in the Heartland� will be the theme of the convention, which will be hosted by the Evansville-based Isis Temple under the leadership of Sue Layman.
Daughters of the Nile is an international fraternal organization for women 18 years of age or older who are related by birth or marriage to a Shriner, Master Mason, or Daughter of the Nile. Founded in 1913 in Seattle, Daughters of the Nile has more than 35,000 members in 147 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Daughters of the Nile contribute more than $1 million annually to the Shriners Hospitals for Children to be used for the medical care and rehabilitation of children. Since 1924, Daughters of the Nile has contributed monetary gifts of more than $45 million.

The code is required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and allows for tracking of the container throughout its life cycle.
"Laser coding requires no ink and has far lower running costs compared to ink-jet printers" says Jeremy Biltz efficiency consultant at Excelda. Since switching from ink-jet coders to laser coding he adds "we save up to 50 percent on overall coding costs."
In use for about a year now at Excelda's Brighton MI plant are two SmartLase™ laser coders from Markem Corp. (Keene NH). These machines produce a code by removing a thin layer of ink from the screen-printed plastic bottles. Each SmartLase unit weighs just 22 lb and easily adjusts to accommodate line speeds of 15 to 90'/min.
"They're very compact" says Biltz "and easy to wheel up to any of our lines." He also appreciates the quality and legibility of the code he now gets. (PR)

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., estimated to kill 580,000 Americans in 2013 alone. Early diagnosis and novel treatments have made great strides in saving lives. But are we any closer to knowing what causes it and developing a cure?
USF's Christina Tzagarakis-Foster discusses what might be our best chance to kill cancer.
Christina Tzagarakis-Foster, associate professor, biology: Studies the DAX-1 protein in stem cells and breast cancer cells, on the theory that it functions like a "brake" on cell growth. When disrupted, uncontrolled cell growth can occur—a tumor.
Can science develop a cure for cancer?It will be difficult, if not impossible, to completely stop cancer, which is caused by cell mutation that results in uncontrolled cell growth. As long as there are cells, there will be cell growth and cell mutations. Some of those mutations will inevitably lead to cancers.
We already have therapies that successfully "kill" some cancers, but those treatments also affect surrounding "good" cells and make patients sick. Developing more targeted therapies will require a better understanding of how specific cell mutations lead to cancer, and that will require a better understanding of how normal cells function. Is a one-size-fits-all cancer treatment possible?I don't think a silver bullet exists to treat all cancers. Effective treatment will vary from one cancer to another, because each is genetically different.What's the most promising approach to treating specific cancers? More and more research focuses on cancer profiling. This will allow us to genetically map and treat cancers according to both the type of mutation and the type of tissue the cancer is located in—the latter being the focus of current chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
But before therapies based on cancer profiling can begin in earnest, we need a database of cancer cells' DNA mutations. We need to know what went wrong in a cell in order to treat it. A good example of this is the work being done by scientists at the Cancer Genome Atlas.
So cancer profiling is promising but a ways off?There are major challenges, including cost and the technical know-how. The good news is that the technology needed to map mutations in tumor cells is improving and will become more cost effective. So, profiling will be used more and more. Eventually, we should be able to target the specific genetic mutations that led to a tumor—treating it, and perhaps even reversing it.Are there any low-tech solutions?Improving health and nutrition, minimizing exposure to carcinogens, developing better screenings for early detection, and new cancer treatment therapies are likely to dramatically reduce the number of cancer deaths in the future.

I know this is sacrilege, but an Android App would be also be great...the Android central one is pretty good, so just co-opt that!
Why doesn't iMore have its own feed on Flipboard? I want to read your stuff on there but I don't follow all of the other sites and the ones I do have their own feeds.

You can find us under Technology > Apple on Flipboard.
Wow, I just figured out how to navigate there. They sure did not make it easy to discover that drill down to where iMore is listed!
Love your discussions, one minor criticism is that it seems to take an unnecessarily long time for the shows to become available through the podcasts on iTunes/Apple TV. Whilst I know you can stream it from the App this unnecessarily ties up one of my devices. I have a cheek I know but hope you don't mind the feedback?
Sent from the iMore App
Not sure what you mean? After a show is updated in our RSS Feed, iTunes processes it at the same speed it processes any other podcast. Usually that's ~30min.
Or do you mean something else?
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm a Scot so maybe my use of the English language is lacking. Seriously though, as I said my preferred route is the podcast app on the Apple TV, episodes 358 and 359 show now as just having been released today (8/11/13 as you would put it). Thanks for all your great work.

In the least surprising news since hearing Madge and Guy were splitting up, Amy Winehouse's erstwhile husband Blake Incarcerated has revealed that he was the one that dragged her down into junkie-dom. In an incredibly candid "mea culpa" interview with the News of the World, Blake goes further than any past newspaper report, painting himself as totally guilty — "the man who caused it all" — turning Amy into the drug-addled wreck she is today.
"I dragged Amy into it and without me there is no doubt that she would never have gone down that road. I ruined something beautiful. Now I have to let her go to save her life. I am not abandoning her. I am doing this out of love," he told the paper.
Gruesome, grotty details abound in the confessional, from Amy's first seizure, to her self-harming and fling with manager's assistant Alex Haines. It makes for uncomfortable reading — especially when BI sobs, "I'm distraught and can't stop crying. I can't believe that because of drugs I'm going to lose my soulmate … I know drug dealers are still supplying her. It's just amazing that the police haven't stopped them. But how can a criminal comment on the Old f***ing Bill. I just wish someone would do something." The whole thing is really sad — and maybe (as we've said a million times before) this will actually make Amy get some help finally? [Photos: Getty Images Entertainment]

Types of Allergies
While all allergy symptoms are caused by a hypersensitive response to an otherwise harmless substance, not all allergies are the same.

Myanmar which had been under authoritarian rule for almost five decades is currently undergoing a political transition toward democratic rule with a more open and pluralistic political system. It started off as a managed transition guided by a seven-step road map announced in 2003 by the ruling military junta.
Under the new Constitution, adopted in 2008 after a controversial referendum, elections were held in 2010 in which the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) won overwhelmingly and currently dominates the government and the legislature. The government led by President Thein Sein instituted political and economic reforms soon after coming to power in March 2011. Significant political liberalization carried out by the government include the release of political prisoners, abolishing press censorship, allowing private media, conditionally allowing public protest, relaxing the rules for political participation and activism and permitting labour unions. This has led to the return of popular National League for Democracy (NLD), led by Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, which boycotted the 2010 elections. Further into the electoral process, the NLD contested the by-election in April 2012, winning 43 of the 45 seats.
Presently, Myanmar is more open and transparent than any time in the last fifty years and significant segments of Myanmar society have achieved 'freedom from fear'. Nevertheless, many formidable challenges remain and hitherto repressed or latent issues have manifested as new challenges. Peace with armed ethnic insurgents is still elusive while communal and sectarian violence have emerged. The legitimacy of the 2008 Constitution is still being challenged with attempts to introduce amendments taking place in and out of parliament. Restive workers are calling for higher wages and better working conditions. Land disputes in both urban and rural areas involving farmers, house-dwellers and even squatters threaten to erode law and order as the alleged victims resist eviction and refuse compensation. An upsurge of religious nationalism among some strident Buddhists has become a potential threat to societal harmony in a complex milieu of national identity and citizenship concerns. The issue of human rights and individual freedom still remains contentious despite the government's claims of achieving substantial progress. Furthermore, Myanmar is situated between China and India and is in addition having rapprochement with the U.S. led Western states. Hence, the state needs to take into consideration the interests of the major powers and regional developments that could have far-reaching consequences in its internal affairs.
The project aims to monitor Myanmar's political transition in the context of the aforementioned challenges and seek to better understand the dynamics and directions of the transition process.

Deontological / teleological theories
The word deon is Greek for duty. So deontological theories are theories of duty. In practice these theories create absolute rules to live by, deriving them from the nature of the act itself or the intention of the person.
Consider stealing as an example. A deontological theorist like Immanuel Kant argues that stealing is wrong absolutely because it is impossible to want a society where everyone steals. So if I universalise my action, and say "what if everyone does what I do and steals", I would never agree to this, because it means I have to agree that it's okay to steal from me. And that's something I would never want. So, says Kant we have a duty not to steal.
The word telos in Greek means end or purpose. So goodness here is linked to the consequences of an action. If my stealing the sausage in our film clip of Cinderella Man increases happiness, it is okay, if it doesn't, then it's wrong. One such theory which is teleological is utilitarianism, because it links goodness to the happiness which results. The purpose or end is maximising happiness.
We can set up a number of contrasts between these two approaches (this table is in fact an over-simplification, as we shall discover during the course - but it makes the point that we can examine issues in different ways).
Deontological Teleological
Knowledge A priori A posteriori
Goodness Intrinsic Extrinsic
Truth (nature) Absolute Relative
Truth (source) Objective Subjective (?)
Means/ends Ends don't justify means Ends justify means
These contrasts are important, because they show a very deep difference in outlook between deontological and teleological theorists. For example, Kant argued that moral knowledge can be grasped a priori meaning prior to experience, whereas Mill, a utilitarian, argues that we know a posteriori, after experience whether an action is right or wrong depending on the likely happiness produced (and we build up an understanding of likely consequences the more we experience life).
Exercise: can you name some goals that you have in life (be specific, don't just say "to be happy")?
Write down one duty you think you are obliged to perform to someone.

A good wind-up can add power, smoothness, and comfort to your serve. Watch this how-to video from About.com to see tips for a wind-up.See Transcript
Transcript:Quick Tip: How to Do the Wind Up for a Serve
Hi, I'm Jeff Cooper for About.com, here to help you learn the wind-up for a serve.
Tennis Wind Up
A wind-up isn't absolutely essential. There have been top-ten players who just start with their racquet back, ready to swing, and there have been others who just pull the racquet up in an abbreviated wind-up and then hit the ball, but a full wind-up does have some advantages. It helps you pull your weight back onto your back foot, it can give you a smoother swing, and it can add up to 10% more power to your serve.
Instructions for a Wind Up for a Serve
Here's how to do a wind-up. The racquet and ball start out together. As the ball goes up with the toss, the racquet starts going back. Like a pendulum, it starts to rise as it continues back. When you arm is horizontal, your elbow starts to bend, and your upper arm starts going up, your elbow is fully bent, and you strike up at the ball.
Here's a serve hit with a full wind-up.

Smart kids know the way to butter up Santa Clause -- with lots of butter-filled cookies,
of course. The old guy does a heck of a lot of work in one night, and
needs some nourishment. So do his hard-working elves, and let me tell
you that by the time that last gift is under the tree, those elves are
good and exhausted and some cookies and milk (or wine) are just what
they need.
can't just be any cookies, of course, they should be cookies special
enough for Santa himself. No store-bought cookies will do this time. For
the big man, they need to be the work of your own hands and preferably
of your own kids. You never know, they just could be the deciding factor
in determining whether your go on the naughty or nice list. Here are
six great Christmas cookie recipes to make for Santa Clause, starting
with these amazing Santa Hat Brownie Bites.
Santa Hat Brownie Bites from Sweet Tooth
1 box brownie mix24 small strawberries2 cups white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 1 mini-muffin pan
brownie mix according to box's instructions and fill cavities 3/4 of
the way full (I had some leftover brownie mix that I just baked off as
regular brownies because I didn't have enough strawberries)
Bake for 25 minutes, or until cake tester comes out clean
Let brownies cool and use this time to hull and clean the strawberries
Once cool, place strawberries upside down onto brownie bites
Melt white chocolate in a double boiler and transfer into a piping bag
Pipe a ring around the base and a small dot on top -- work quickly, the white chocolate can dry fast and clog up your tip!
Here are five more great ones too:
Peanut Butter Balls
They're not exactly cookies, but they're oh so delicious.
Sugar Cookies
Just skip the Santa cutouts for his plate as that might be a little awkward eating yourself.
Corn Flakes Holiday Wreaths
I grew up eating these and haven't stopped yet. I KNOW Santa loves these.
Chocolate Gingerbread Men
Adorable and delicious, these will make the jolly guy even jollier.
No-Bake Chocolate Snickers Cookies
If you're all baked out by the time the big night hits, these are a snap to whip up lickety split.
What are your favorite cookies to leave out for Santa?
chocolate chip
We usually leave out sugar cookies but we are making candy this year so it might be peppermint bark.

I am sorry to hear your father is having these problems.
Be careful to not jump to conclusions as the doctors have said pathology has not been able to identify this fluid...your brothers visual diagnosis may or may no be correct.
That said, spinal fluid leaks are not uncommon after spine surgery. They can cause tremendous headaches if left untreated. The other thing I wouldn't worry too much about is that you said the surgery lasted several hours longer than originally projected, that is also not uncommon.
If this drainage does not slow down, you might ask the doctor what the diagnostic options are.
Maybe some other members will check in with some other ideas.
Please keep us updated as to your fathers condition.View Thread
I agree with the others, stomach sleeping is the worst, that said, try placing a pillow under your hips.
I have had a memory foam bed for more than 10 years and love it. I have a hard time sleeping on traditional mattresses now.
There is no right or wrong answer, look for a return policy when you buy a new mattress. Trying one for a few minutes in a store or one night will not really give you the feedback you need.View Thread
I had the appt today. My toes are always completely numb and I can bend all but the biggie on my right foot. Right leg and foot is where I had most of the nerve damage.Strange part is I had been able to bend the toe until a couple of weeks ago!
So now they are trying to figure out why I am so anemic...might have something to do with buying ibuprofen by the pound...then we will worry more about the toe. I don't have an appt yet. I have to see a gastro doc first.
I don't hear from anyone by email, it has mostly been by the boards....
Hope all is going well with you, I don't take enough time to read and follow everyone's story right now.

Well I went to my primary care doc today because my hmo requires him as a first stop.
He is not terribly concerned about not being able to bend my toe but did say we would talk about a nerve conduction test after dealing with my being anemic.
I guess I won't freak out but I will be persistent.View Thread
Recently I noticed I can no longer bend my big toe on my right foot. HUH?!
Is this something I should be concerned about? I no longer have a relationship with the surgeon, should I be calling my primary doc or just ask about it next time I am there?
any thoughts?

I am a day late and a dollar short as usual!
Thanks for asking, sounds like the 4th in your neighborhood is quite the event! We don't do much for the 4th as it is sooo hot out this time of year and the monsoons are moving in. It is humid and generally after midnight before the temps drop below 100. We can see the local fireworks from our yard so a lawn chair and cold beverage helps and we don't have to deal with the crowds.
Other than that just plugging along putting one foot in front of the other.
Hope you and everyone enjoyed their holiday!
