Oh my, it seems like I completely missed last week! Hm. I suppose keeping all of my spring break homework up to the last minute was a terrible idea, since it didn't exactly allow me to write anything for the blog. Weak. There's an entry this week, though, so let's get to it.
Probably worth starting with stuff going on around me. For starters, I ended my last scheduled therapy session about two weeks ago, which felt pretty great. I will by no means say that I am "fixed", because I am not. I still think about the past far too often than I should, and it has been stupidly controlling my decisions on occasions I wish it did not. The difference now is that my mood has significantly improved since. For the first time in what feels like a very long time, I do feel happy. I have felt happier, but time will come where I'll be up to that again. I still get sad every so often when I over-think things, but it goes away a lot faster now. I can actually get up in the morning and feel motivated to go out and do things.
Things like going out to concerts with friends, such as the Feed Me show I went to on the 3rd. Fucking brilliant show. His setlist was perfect, and I don't think I had ever seen a crowd so energetic. The bro-douchebaggery brought a lot of unmerited moshing to the show, but even still I was having so much god-damned fun that I couldn't of cared less. It was amazing, and a really terrific mood brightener amidst a flurry of homework that has kept me grounded at home for weeks now.
The post-show was slightly unpleasant, though. For one, my friend lost the tee he bought from the merch table somehow. $25 down the drain. :( We had also spent three hours jumping up and down, so our legs were fucking exhausted. This was worstened by the fact that it was now 2AM, and there were no metros passing anymore. Montreal/Laval has the worst metro system, I swear. Whatever the case, we live an hour's transit away from downtown, so we crashed at my sister's place that night. Which we had to walk to. A five kilometer walk. At 2AM, tired and with busted legs. Argh. To make matters worse, I had to shit really bad for the last kilometer or so of that walk, which was really unpleasant. … Sorry. It just adds to the detail. I think.
But whatever. We woke up the next morning feeling fine, and then I went to school and was sore all-over for the next two days. Totally worth it.
In game-related news, I finished Mass Effect 1 and 2! Woo! I beat 2 to completion this time around, which I did not get to do the first time. Scanned all the planets, did all the side-quests and everyone turned out fine at the end, so that was fun. I also wrapped up the only DLC I had not played, which was Overlord. What a terrific piece of content. Great story, fun gameplay, some really awesome scenery, and a plot twist that really had me in awe. It was something else, in a way I don't think I've ever seen touched upon in a game before. Cool stuff. I'm excited to get 3 this week and finish out the series, finally.
I've also been playing a bunch more of Modern Warfare 3, which continues to be aggravating. They released the new map for PS3 this week, Black Box, which has encouraged players around the world to be dicks and literally do nothing but camp. The map is just designed in a way where players can sit in one spot and have an open view of 30% of the map, then just pick off anyone they see running or sniping. Almost every match I have played on it was a lousy experience, and it's making start to get a little annoyed with the game. The more I play it, the more I start to realize all these retarded things that Infinity Ward has overlooked that will never be fixed. They've proven with 3's multiplayer that they're too lazy to make a real effort to change things, so why would they fix things like your predator missile screen also getting flashed when you do? Or killstreaks being erased when you earn one on top of the other? Or PlayStation servers that are apparently rented out of a barn somewhere in Montana, because it usually takes half-to-all of a mag to kill a dude, when it should only take three bullets.
Or maybe it's just me having shooter fatigue. Who knows. What didn't give me any kind of fatigue, however, is Journey. I did a second playthrough during my break, which turned out to be an even better experience than my first. Why? Because of this:
I actually played the entire game with a single partner, where we actually developed a language to communicate with each other. We eventually knew how to say we were happy, worried, that one should get the other to come over here... it was something else. Especially later in the game, where we had actually lost each other and I began to worry. A lot. My friend was with my as I was playing, and saw me getting scared that I had actually lost the person I was with for the whole game.
But you know what's the real kicker? It's that I messaged that person afterwards. I thanked them for being the best partner I had ever had in the game, and they replied later. They replied in … pretty broken english. They thanked me, too. But then it dawned on me-- whoever I played with was definitely not from my neck of the woods. Not even close. There is probably a very steep language barrier between the two of us, and yet we understood each other perfectly in the game. We were completely in sync, but in real life we would probably be completely dumbfounded and unable to even say "Hello". I've never felt like that with anything before, and that realization was something really special. That I was even able to have that kind of experience... man. Just, videogames, right?
I also bought F1 2011, and I've played a bit of the game's career mode. I've also played some online with a few fellow Bombers which was a lot of fun. The game's alright, though it has a few noticeable shortcomings. For one, the game doesn't looks that great. Some of the texture work is rough, and a lot of the character models are pretty terrible. The cars themselves look alright, but the detail on them is also spotty at times. It also has the worst driving line in the history of racing games. It frequently lies, telling you to brake at distances that will make you irreversibly overshoot turns. Really stupid, so you end up having to practice spotting your breaking points off actual track markers and whatnot. If you're a fan of F1, though, it's pretty neat.
The last thing I played was Lumines: Electronic Symphony. I borrowed my friend's Vita to play it, and yup, that game is Lumines and yup, that game is totally rad.
Know what isn't rad, though? The fucking Vita, that's what. A beautiful system, but Jesus Christ that device is the most poorly conceived thing I have ever used. The menus all have a different way to opening and closing (Some require the label peeling, others to hit an X button, others to hit a back button) and a bunch of features can't be used without closing another. Worst of all, though? No drive mounting.
I wanted to put some episodes of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air onto it so I could have something to watch on the way back from school. A reasonable thing to want right? No? Well, get fucked. I tried to anyway. Here's a step-by-step progression of me trying to do so:
I hook up the Vita up to my computer. It detects I'm connected to a PC, and says I need to do a firmware update before I can install drivers onto my PC. I do the firmware update. Takes half-an-hour to download through wi-fi and install. It installs, reboots, and I re-plug it to my PC. It installs drivers. It fails to install one out of the three. It tells me I need to download a Content Manager application for my PC to transfer files. I download the application. I install it. It starts, and asks me where my music, video and picture folders are. It indexes all of those folders, including all 90GBs of my music. This takes about 45 minutes to finish. Finally, the Vita is ready to connect to my PC. I plug the Vita into my PC, and it tells me to open the Content Manager app on the Vita. I do so. It shows that I cannot copy files onto the Vita from my PC. I need to do the copying from the Vita itself. It asks if I want to copy from the PC to the Vita, or vice versa. I tell it from the PC. It asks what I want to copy. I say Video. It opens the video folder that was assigned in the PC Content Manager. This folder does not have Fresh Prince episodes in it. I cannot browse my folders on PC. I unplug the Vita, restart Content Manager on the PC and tell it to go to the folder when my episodes are. It indexes that folder. I plug the Vita in and do the same thing again. It opens the folder, and does not list any video. The DivX-encoded .avi files aren't compatible with the Vita. I shut the whole thing down and I do not touch it. I give the system back to my friend.
That shit right there? That's unacceptable. I get the "we need to fight piracy" thing, but you're actively encouraging me to find a workaround when you make copying fucking files so inconceivably difficult. It's fucking 2012, and I need to use a god-damned application to transfer files onto my extremely advanced piece of hardware? Fuck, Sony. 2003 called and said that even in 2003, that shit is stupid. My three-year old phone can play any video or audio file in the known universe, and your $250 media system can't play the most common codec in digital video? What. The. Fuck.
The games seem fun, and the system is powerful and beautiful to look at, but fuck that thing. Fuck it, and fuck its stupid design flaws, especially if they impede my ability to watch Fresh Prince on the go.
China! After a grueling two weeks of no racing, F1 returned this weekend in Shanghai with a really exciting race. Qualifying was a pretty fun watch, with Rosberg and Schumacher taking the top spots. I was excited to see Raikkonen place high up, and even more so to see Kobayashi place third. Sauber is really killing it this season. Biggest surprise of the session has got to be Vettel, though, who barely made it past Q1 and didn't even get into Q3.
He also didn't perform that well early-on in the race, dropping back to, like, 19th or something after the first few laps. The rest of the race was a ton of fun to watch, though. Shanghai is a great track, and it kept a lot of the racers close to each other. At least, when they weren't flying off the track to fly into outer space. There were constant battles for 4th and 8th place, which made the middle and latter parts of the race a ton of fun. Grosjean actually finished, which was awesome. I also really wanted Raikkonen to shine. He did for a very good portion of the race, but stayed on the same tyres for too long and lost so much grip. He was drifting into turns, practically. It was no surprise that he gave up his 4th place to drop down almost 10 places. I can't imagine defending that position with tyres that worn being any kind of possible. I was really hoping he'd be near the top, but I was also kind of rooting for Rosberg to win. He gave an amazing performance, and really earned that win. Can't complain about McLaren placing second and third, either.
And that's it! See you next week. :]

Here's What's Not Going on with BioLogos
Cornelius Hunter's claim that BioLogos advances the "Warfare Thesis" between science and religion is wholly unfounded.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Cornelius Hunter's claim that BioLogos advances the "Warfare Thesis" between science and religion is wholly unfounded.
The idea of "research programs" helps explain why it's so hard for people of different origins perspectives to understand each other, and even harder to change positions.
Ninety years is a long time, and so much has changed all over the world. But have the cultural perceptions about science and religion changed since the Scopes Trial in 1925?
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
I am growing in my appreciation for a diversity of ears to hear Scripture and a diversity of cultures to interpret God's call on our lives.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
Historian Peter Harrison argues that harmony between faith and science is not as simple as it seems, and some versions of "harmony" can do damage to the Christian faith.
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
President Haarsma reflects on our big interview with Bill Nye, and explains how it relates to our mission.
We need safe places in which to raise the complex issues of submitting wholeheartedly to the authority of God's Word in the Scriptures while wrestling with the important findings and perspectives in the natural sciences.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
From 2012: The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
From the archives: With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.

Northgate High School (Walnut Creek, CA)
Backto: Walnut Creek Schools
Our daughter will be a freshman at Northgate High School in Walnut Creek this coming fall after she graduates from Foothill Middle School. Anybody out there have kids who are at Northgate, or have recently graduated from Northgate, who could share experiences, tips, advice about helping our daughter have a successful transition and experience there? Our daughter is not currently involved in any sports or in music, so there is no obvious place for her to get attached to. She is definitely college-oriented, but not a straight A student (right now, mostly Bs with a few As). Thanks! Future Northgate parent
The students at NG are mostly friendly and open, so your daughter will feel welcome next fall. The administrators are friendly and helpful, though overworked, but they are available whenever you (or your daughter) have questions or concerns.
And there are many, many student clubs your daughter can join. For example, there is a crochet club, music club, robotics club, computer club, philosophy club, dance club, arts club (making greeting cards for children who are ill), baking club. Really, so many to choose from! Most clubs meet during lunch, but some meet after school. Your daughter could meet people with similar interests through these clubs. And the performing arts program at NG is really excellent, so she could participate in plays, musicals, voice, or improv groups.
I think your daughter will have a great experience at NG. Susan

To the individual who is inclined to proclaim, "math is too rigid!" I would hand over a copy of Göran Grimvall's Quantify! A Crash Course in Smart Thinking. The notation, language and even ideas of mathematics, it turns out, are a little messier — and can handle a little more messiness — than many are inclined to believe.
Consider, as Grimvall asks us to do in Chapter One, the humble dot versus the unassuming comma. What, precisely, does 3,175 mm mean? According to the English version of the ISO standards, a comma is used as a decimal sign. Therefore, 3,175 could signify a decimal amount between the integer three and the integer four. Meanwhile, in the US, it is an "unofficial convention" to separate groups of three digits with a comma. By this standard, 3,175 is the single integer that lies between the numbers 3174 and 3176. Usually the context hints at the appropriate interpretation, but not always.
The content of Grimvall's book, however, does not only concern notation. Grimvall deftly explains why it might be easier to set a triple jump record in Brazil than in Germany or how it came to pass that the number of fatalities in Sweden declined in the year after the change from left-hand to right hand traffic. The discussions of how to determine the carrying capacity of an elevator and the load limit of a rope were particularly thought-provoking. Meanwhile, the section concerning how to determine what constitutes a lethal dose of a given poison was as matter-of-fact as it was chilling. Factors such as the size of the individual who is poisoned, the time after exposure and the way in which the poison made contact with the body — through inhalation, ingestion or intravenously — must be considered. Even so, these factors must be weighed in light of observable, counterintuitive evidence. For example, a single bite from Australasian funnel web spider means instant death for a human but not necessarily for a rabbit, dog or cat.
The book is a model of organization: each of the seven chapters has exactly four sections and each section offers precisely three, seemingly-divergent essays on a single theme. While each essay could easily stand on its own, together they offer more than the sum of their parts. Chapter 6, "The Real World," for example, has four subsections, one of which is called, "Plausible, but Not Correct." In this subsection, the reader is treated to essays on the following three topics: "The Unridable Bicycle," "Church Windows and Lead Roofs" and "The Bathtub Vortex." It is here that the reader learns that balance on a bicycle has little to do with gyroscopic effects from the spinning wheels, uneven glass on church windows has little to do with the fact that glass is a liquid and the direction of water spiraling down a bathtub drain has little to do with relative position from the equator. Each essay gets right to the point — few are longer than three pages — and offers the reader witty, detailed and interesting material for spurring mathematical thought.
While Quantify! is accessible to anyone with a high school background in math, it also has the potential to speak to those with more advanced training in mathematics. The absence of problems on which to work makes the book inappropriate as a primary text for most math classes. However, the book could serve as a provocative supplement to any math course that treats topics concerning counting, measure, accuracy, extrapolation and models. Overall, I heartily recommend Goran Grimvall's Quantify! A Crash Course in Smart Thinking to anyone who might appreciate — if not enjoy — evidence that math can accommodate the messiness of everyday, real life situations.
Susan D'Agostino is an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Southern New Hampshire University. She has written articles for The Chronicle of Higher Education, MAA Focus and Math Horizons. She is currently writing a book with mathematical themes intended for an audience of nonmathematicians.

DURHAM, N.H. – Senior forward Whitney Frates (Woodstock, Vt.) scored two goals to propel the 10th-ranked University of New Hampshire field hockey team to Friday afternoon's 3-0 victory against 13th-ranked University of Maine in America East action on UNH's Senior Day at Memorial Field.
UNH improved to 14-3 overall, 7-1 at home and 4-0 in America East with its 11th consecutive conference victory and fourth win against a nationally-ranked team this season. The Wildcats sit atop the America East standings as the lone remaining unbeaten team and will be the top seed and host of the 2011 America East Championship Tournament (Nov. 4 & 6).
Maine, which entered the game having already broke the program's single-season record for goals to lead the nation in offense (5.13 goals per game), is now 14-3, 2-2.
Fellow senior forward Hayley Rausch (Severna Park, Md.) scored UNH's other goal that gave the home team a 3-0 lead at 65:28, just 88 seconds after Frates tallied her second of the day.
Katherine Nagengast (Westborough, Mass.), another of the six Wildcat seniors, made five of her six saves in the second half to record her third shutout of the season and the team's sixth overall in 2011. Maine counterpart Brittany Fleck also was credited with six saves, five of which came in the first half.
Maine created the first dangerous scoring chance with a penalty corner in the third minute of the game. Kaitlynn Stymiest's direct shot from the top of the circle was blocked by a UNH defender, but Courtney Glynn corralled the ball of the rebound and fired a low shot that Nagengast turned aside.
New Hampshire generated a scoring opportunity in transition. From the top-right side of the circle, Frates struck a diagonal pass intended for Rausch, but Fleck charged from her line and made a sliding poke check to prevent a shot.
Frates gave the Wildcats a 1-0 lead with an unassisted goal at 23:16. From midfield, Kellie Joyce (South Pomfret, Vt.) hit a low pass to the right wing, where Frates extended her stick and continued towards goal without breaking stride. Working against two defenders, Frates blasted a low shot from the top-right side past Fleck inside the far post.
UNH began to control possession and, in the 27th minute, senior back Kyle Lyons (White River Junction, Vt.) struck a hard entry pass down the middle of the field from 30 yards. Frates, positioned five yards in front of the goal, redirected the ball over the cage.
The Wildcats held that 1-0 lead and a 9-2 shot advantage at halftime.
Maine pressured in the opening minute of the second half as Joceyln Mitchell's shot from the left wing sailed waist high towards goal but was stopped by Nagengast. The Black Bears utilized a lifted pass the length of the field to spring Holly Stewart behind the defense 10 minutes into the second half. Lyons raced back down the middle of the field to make it a 2-on-1, and blocked Stewart's centering pass. The ball went back to Stewart at the left post, however, and once again Nagengast was in position to keep UM scoreless.
Moments later, Frates drove into the circle at the other end of the field and her shot from the right wing bounded wide of the near post.
In the 48th minute, Glynn was open on the left side, but Nagengast charged and made a feet-first sliding save.
UNH was awarded a penalty corner in the 58th minute, and a low strike off Lyons' stick was turned away by Fleck.
Maine called time out at 63:40, but Frates immediately stole the ball on the right wing, advanced towards the right post and lifted a shot from five yards over Fleck, who went into a slide, across the goal line for her 20th goal of the season and ninth goal in the last four games – all against nationally-ranked teams.
The Wildcats continued to pressure and Rausch scored at 65:28 to quickly transform a one-goal lead into a 3-0 advantage. Emma Erler (New Hampton, N.H.) gained possession of a loose ball in the middle of the circle and pushed it towards the cage. Rausch, cutting across from right to left, batted the ball in front of her and utilized a reverse stick to score from close range.
Maine threatened to cut into that lead just one minute later. On a penalty corner, Stephanie Gardiner's shot from the top-left side was stopped by Nagengast, who also denied Zoe Adkins off the rebound at the left doorstep. The Black Bears earned a subsequent corner, however, and this time Gardiner's direct shot rolled wide right.
The Wildcats finished with a 14-10 shot advantage but the visitors had the 6-4 edge in corners.
UNH's 14 victories matches last year's total and is tied for the fourth-highest single-season total. The 'Cats finished with 16 wins in both 1980 and 1984 and the benchmark of 17 was established in 1986.
The Wildcats have amassed 172 points this season to break the record previously held by the 2009 squad (170 points). With 63 goals, this year's team is on the verge of breaking that single-season record of 64 set in 1984.
In addition to the aforementioned Frates, Lyons, Nagengast and Rausch, Kendall Deck (Bridgewater, N.J.) and Jess Sweeney (Accord, N.Y.) were honored as part of the pre-game Senior Day ceremony. This senior class has led UNH to postseason play all four years, including the upcoming 2011 America East tournament, as well as one conference regular-season title (2010).
New Hampshire returns to action Oct. 29 (1 p.m.) at the University at Albany and concludes the regular season Oct. 30 (3 p.m.) at Harvard University. The America East Championship tourney will be played at the site of the top seed Nov. 4 & 6.

German tuners TechArt have added another option to its range of upgrades for the Porsche Panamera. The TechArt Panamera Black Edition is the latest reworked model to hit the streets and it's defined by its matte black adhesive vinyl wrap that makes this car look like a stealth version of the new sports car.
Aside from the exterior, the black theme is extended throughout the car's aero kit, 22-inch alloy wheels and brake calipers. The calipers are detailed with the TechArt logo in red.
The black/red contrasting colour scheme is replicated on the interior, where black leather and alcantara is hand stitched in red, with matching red piping along the seats. Carbon fibre trim also sees liberal use in the cabin.
Pricing for the Techart Panamera Black Edition is yet to be announced.

Owner of Ashland novelties store indicted
CATLETTSBURG, Ky. -- The owner/operator of Dark Wings, an Ashland store that Ashland police say sold synthetic drugs, was among people indicted Monday by a Boyd County grand jury, according to the office of Commonwealth's Attorney David Justice.
Yvonda Nichols, 55, of Greenup, Ky., was indicted on a felony charge of use and investment of drug-related income. The charge is a class D felony with a potential sentence upon conviction of from one to five years in prison, Justice said.
Ashland police two weeks ago confiscated about $30,000 worth of materials from the business at 514 29th St., Ashland. They believe an estimated $13,000 worth of those materials are synthetic drugs. Police also confiscated $3,500 and a handgun with a loaded, 19-round magazine.
The grand jury also indicted 14 people on charges of unemployment insurance fraud. They are: Earl M. Goins, 39, of Manchester, Ky., James D. Miller, 35, of Catlettsburg, David R. Cordell, 48, of Catlettsburg, John R. Ross Jr., 51, Catlettsburg, Wendy J. Jarrell, 48, of Catlettsburg, Paul D. Lawson, 38, of Russell, Robert May, 30, of Ashland, Rocky J. Sexton, 41, of Ashland, Michael D. Grimm, 61, of Ashland, Aaron M. Valentine, 29, of Ashland, Jonathan D. Peters, 46, of Ashland, Bobby R. Barrow, 65, of Ashland and Martin E. Grubb, 31, of Olive Hill, Ky.
Jonathan D. Clayton, 34, of Catlettsburg, was indicted on charges of unemployment insurance fraud and being a persistent felony offender.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22, 1999 The recently released Basic Allowance for Housing rates effective Jan. 1 were computed using a new method of measuring housing costs for service members in the United States.
DoD officials said this more accurately reflects the actual cost of housing. DoD computes BAH for more than 400 locations in the United States. DoD-wide about 752,000 service members are eligible for BAH. About 73 percent receive BAH at the "with dependent" rates.
While the rates are different for each area, overall, the new BAH rates mean junior enlisted will receive more money. Further, rates in high cost areas will go up for all ranks.
"The major change in BAH was to find a way to more accurately reflect housing costs for service members in the areas they are assigned," said Vice Adm. Pat Tracey, deputy assistant secretary of defense for military personnel policy. "We found that under the old [Basic Allowance for Quarters/Variable Housing Allowance] system that people would move into housing that was less costly and, because we surveyed them on where they were living, we kept driving down the rates in some areas, and people found it more and more difficult to find affordable housing.
"We ended up setting rates that drove people into less acceptable housing in more and more risky neighborhoods."
Under the new system officials compute the BAH rates based on surveys of what it costs to live in particular communities rather than service members reports of what they paid. The old system worked to the disadvantage of junior enlisted members and to all service members living in high-cost areas, officials said.
Service members in lower cost areas may see the published rates for their area go down, but will not see this mirrored on their leave and earnings statements. "In areas where the rates go up, service members will receive the new rates," said Navy Capt. Elliott Bloxom, DoDs director of compensation. "But in areas where the rates go down, individuals will be protected. They will not see their allowance drop. But new people moving in will receive the lower rates."
This rate protection applies throughout the country. Service members will not be penalized in 2000 if the rate drops. "They may have negotiated their lease payments at the higher rate," Bloxom said. "As long as members stay in their current locations they will not see their rate drop."
When they move to their next assignments, they will be paid the published rates at the time for their new locations.
Rate-protected service members sponsoring a family should be aware of the new rates, however. "If they are sponsoring someone who is moving to the area, those new people will not receive the same rate they do," Bloxom said.
The changes this year essentially complete the transition from the old system of BAQ/VHA to BAH four years early.
DoD officials have resolved the potential problem caused by differences in the fiscal 2000 defense authorization and appropriation acts. The authorization act pledged $225 million more to the BAH program, but the appropriations act -- the act that actually appropriates money -- set the amount at $100 million.
DoD officials said the military services cut other programs to come up with the additional $125 million.
BAH does not cover all of service members housing costs. By law, service members should pay no more than 15 percent of the national median housing costs out-of-pocket. In 1999, the percentage was 19.8 percent. Making this transition will allow DoD to reduce the typical service members out-of-pocket costs. Officials estimate the out- of-pockets costs will be at 18.8 percent in 2000 and 15.8 percent by 2003.
Tracey and Bloxom said the 2000 rates would be a pleasant surprise for service members. "BAH allows us to increase rates in the higher cost areas while allowing us to provide rate protection," Bloxom said. "Nobody will lose. People in areas where the rates go up will receive them, people in areas where they go down will be protected."

Hildegarde??? Have I gone crazy?
I have a crush on the name Hildegarde. However, Nameberry defines it as "Unfortunate name that evokes a caricature of heavy, plodding, Teutonic stodginess." That doesn't sound good, but I still love the name. What do you think? Would it be acceptable in the real world? If I gave that name to a daughter (no, I'm not having a child, just a what if). I think that Hildegarde Mabel/Hildegarde Maeve would be beautiful. Have I really gone crazy? :P

When President Obama used Mitt Romney's controversial experience at Bain Capital to question whether Romney has any experience or life lessons relevant to a President's responsibilities, he hit a chord that resonated among many who view Mitt Romney as little more than a corporate looter, or at best an amoral opportunist whose successful pursuit of profit made him largely indifferent to the social and economic consequences of his schemes and methods.
At the very least, the President was undoubtedly correct to ask whether the skills and motivations one would exhibit as a successful manager of leveraged buyouts are those we want to see in a President. That issue has been hanging over Mitt Romney since his Massachusetts Senate campaign against Ted Kennedy, so its reemergence during the GOP primary debates was totally predictable. The only surprise was how relentlessly enthusiastic and happy Romney's GOP challengers were to raise it, but this is not Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment Party.
Since Obama made the issue prominent, there has been a concerted effort by the corporate wings of both parties and some in the media to get the President off this message. The reasons aren't hard to figure out.
The Romney camp, of course, understands that the question Obama is asking, and Romney's obvious inability to answer it directly — as shown in his interview with Mark Halperin — can completely unravel the bogus claim Romney has been making that his success in business somehow entitles him to be President of the United States. The claim was always preposterous, and it should have been obvious after the world's financial elites — the people who, like Mitt and now Jamie Dimon, bragged they understood how the economy really works — tanked the financial system, had to be bailed out and nearly destroyed a dozen economies.
But Romney's team was betting that Americans have been so conditioned after decades of propaganda to believe that what government needed was to operate like a successful business that few would seriously question Romney's most important claim. Halperin's interview exposed Mitt as an empty suit. After he posed Obama's question directly, Romney ducked and switched from his prowess as a looter to his lifetime as a "leader." Bottom line: Romney can't defend his central claim.
So his campaign's diversion since then has been to charge that by talking about Bain, Barack Obama is now attacking capitalism and free enterprise itself. That's a nice dodge to pretend that what the LBO (leveraged buyout) boys do is somehow the essence of capitalism, but it's still a dodge: the question, "how does this make you qualified to be President?" is still awaiting an answer.
Because Romney hasn't or can't answer it, Obama's question should be on every honest reporter's list of things to probe when they interview or write about Mitt Romney. And that's why, as Rachel Maddow noticed recently, the Romney campaign has been trying to change the subject from what he did as a businessman to what he'd do as a President. It's safer to talk about a future that hasn't happened than a past for which there's a record and even a body count.
But it's not just the Romney campaign that wants to change the subject. Just as important, corporate Democrats are horrified that they've been exposed for the corporate hacks they are; Cory Booker may have destroyed his career, but the party is full of such hacks.
Meanwhile the Dem's Very Serious pundits are shocked, shocked that Obama — who's benefited as much as anyone from extracting campaign donations from the looters in exchange for never threatening their carried interest/capital gains tax preferences — would threaten these cash cows when Citizens United is about to unleash a tsunami of Rove-directed cash against any candidate not already bought. Hmm. Seems like an issue the public might want to know more about.
So if you're an honest reporter, what are you looking at? You've got an issue that exposes the gibberish Americans have been fed about how the financial Masters of the Universe deserved to extract your money, be in charge of the economy and still occupy the White House or Congress. You've got a corporate looter who's proven to be indifferent to human suffering, and thus a perfect example of this shameful mentality, running for President. You've got an incumbent who quite eloquently frames the right question but then has to send Tim Geithner and Eric Holder in front of the cameras to explain how his Administration has translated Obama's expressed concern for all of the people and their jobs into measures for bringing the banks and corporate looters to justice and addressing the massive inequality both parties have created at the behest of the looters. And you've got both parties squealing that if you pull on this thread, the emperor's clothes will collapse and scare the kids.
It's extremely rare that the media emerges from the daily dreck fed to them and stumbles on a genuinely important issue, one that captures so much of what's wrong and needs to be addressed by the people we elect to act for us. But now we've got one and it's a beaut. Along with whether crazy people will be allowed to tank the economy again, it's the most important domestic policy issue of our times, and it's connected to just about everything else worth discussing. All a good reporter has to do is keep pulling on that thread.
So do your jobs, ye good reporters, and we'll tell our children to avert their eyes.

Man Arrested for Distributing Crack
The Maine Drug Enforcement Agency announced the arrest of a Portland man for distributing Crack Cocaine throughout greater Portland. 21 year old Ian Nono is charged with two counts of Trafficking in Schedule W Drugs (Crack Cocaine) and Refusing to Submit to Arrest.
Beginning in early February, agents from the MDEA Cumberland District Task Force began investigating reports that Nono, who also goes by the street name "Night", was distributing Crack Cocaine. Over the next two months, an undercover agent met with Nono and purchased crack. Nono instructed the agent where in Portland to meet to conduct the drug transactions and would arrive at those locations in his Mercedes Benz SUV to deliver the Crack Cocaine.
Tuesday afternoon, Nono met with and sold Crack Cocaine to an undercover agent in the area of Canco Road and Washington Avenue. Upon completion of the sale, Nono was approached by agents and uniformed Portland Police in order to place Nono under arrest, but he refused to submit by struggling with officers and fleeing. He was subsequently taken into custody and transported to the Cumberland County Jail.
Agents later searched Nono's residence at 88 Tamarlane in Portland. Seized were two handguns and ammunition. One of the handguns has been confirmed stolen from Clearwater, Florida. Also seized was over $3,000 in suspected drug proceeds, suspected counterfeit currency and other items indicative of drug trafficking.
Additional charges are expected to be brought against Nono, as well as others involved during Nono's distribution of Crack Cocaine to undercover agents.
Bail has been set for Nono at $10,000.

Arizona child welfare overhaul signed into law
PHOENIX -- Gov. Jan Brewer signed into law an overhaul of Arizona's embattled child welfare agency Thursday.
Bills creating a new child welfare agency called the Department of Child Safety and giving the agency an extra $60 million passed unanimously in the morning.
The bills were backed by Brewer, who was present in the House for the vote.
The Senate first stripped extra cash tacked on a day earlier over concerns the House would not pass the bill.
Brewer proposed the overhaul after revelations late last year that more than 6,500 abuse and neglect reports were closed without investigation.
Brewer called lawmakers into a special session to enact the overhaul. The department will have $827 million in total funding.
Brewer originally said she would call the session in late April after at least five child welfare supervisors were fired following a four-month investigation.
In a statement, Brewer said the safety of Arizona children is one of her most important priorities and an issue that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. A report from the Arizona Department of Public Safety increased the urgency even more.
The five workers who were fired are mulling a lawsuit. The group told News/Talk 92.3 KTAR's Rob & Karie they were nothing more than scapegoats.
KTAR's Bob McClay and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Parents In The World
Amanda Arceneaux
In today's society there are different types of parents. They are spread around the world, they are not concentrated in one area. Mostly they can be categorized as strict parents, moderate parents, and easy-going parents.
There are still some strict parents left in the world. These types of parents ask every question imaginable. For example, a teenager asked his/her parents to go and be with a friend and the teenagers were not going to any parties or any place that was unacceptable. The parents would ask what the friend's phone number is, who the friend's parents are, the friend's parent's phone number, what car the friend drives, where the friend lives, and so on. The child basically does not come up with the right answers, then the child is not allowed to go out. The parents are also strict on how late the teen can stay out. If the parent wants to be super strict, the teen has to be home as soon as he/she is done with the planned activity. There might also be a different time to be home on the weekdays because of homework, or the teen night not be able to go out at all.
The less strict parents are known as being moderate. These parents still ask questions, just not as many and not as detailed. The questions might consist of, "What is is the friend's name?" What is the name of the place?" " Who is driving?" " Will I be called if plans change?" This type of parent actually gives some needed freedom. The teenager is allowed to change plans if needed. This teen will also have set times to be home on weekdays, but it will be later than what the strict parent would allow.
A step down from the moderate parent would be the easy-going parent. This type of parent does not really care about what the teen wears or how the child acts. The teenager could go to a tattoo shop and get a tattoo or piercing, and the parent would say, "if that's what is going to be done then okay." The teen could come out of her room, if the teen was a girl, and be wearing an extremely low-cut top and a skirt that is two sizes too small. All the parents would say was be careful and have fun. This teenager would not have a set time to be home any day of the week. The parents might not even care if their teen comes homes the night. The teen might also be allowed to drink, even if under the legal age. This type of parent does not really care about what the teenager does as long as the teen comes home at times.
There is no law that states how a parent should act; therefore, the parents will treat their teen how they think is suitable. These parents are very strict, moderate, and easy-going parents. Some parents will let their teen act as tame or wild as their teen wants. These days no two teenagers are treated the same. Parents will always do as they please with their teenagers as far as strictness and discipline.

By Airman 1st Class Tom BradingJoint Base Charleston
CHARLESTON, S.C., Dec. 14, 2012 Air Force Staff Sgt. Katherine Lamb has received a full scholarship to Harvard University, which she'll use to pursue a doctorate in chemistry in the fall after completing a successful six-year enlistment.
Lamb is a knowledge operations manager at the Naval Consolidated Brig on Joint Base Charleston here.
Harvard is located in Cambridge, Mass., and is the oldest institution for higher learning in the United States. Eight U.S. presidents, 75 Noble Prize winners and more than 60 living billionaires hold Harvard degrees.
Fellow troops say Lamb is revered throughout the brig for her intelligence, and she encourages and helps others to further their educations.
"Sergeant Lamb's vibrant and friendly personality can light up an entire room," said Master Sgt. Edward Phillips, the brig's Air Force superintendent. "She is just a very positive and outgoing person."
Lamb said she learned the importance of education in Puerto Rico, where she was born. Her parents, who were born into poverty, moved to America seeking a better life when she was nine. Her mother went on to become a college professor, while her father works for NASA.
"My parents used to tell me, it doesn't matter if you have money," Lamb said. "You could lose money; you can never lose an education."
It was a message she took to heart.
Lamb is already familiar with the New England area. Years ago, she took her parents' advice and received her master's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.
After graduating from MIT, Lamb said she felt a sense of pride and patriotism toward the country that offered her so many opportunities. She surprised her friends and family by enlisting in the Air Force.
"Everyone wonders, 'Why didn't you become an officer?'" Lamb said. "Well, life isn't about money. I was aware of officer programs, but for me, serving my country was enough reason to join. That's why I did, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The enlisted men and women I've served with continue to do amazing things every day."
Lamb said serving her country and building relationships in the Air Force has been as beneficial as any college classroom.
"The Air Force is one team," she said. "College lifestyle, especially [in] an Ivy League-caliber institution, is very competitive -- people are constantly thinking about what's best for themselves. It's just the nature of how challenging those programs can be. But in the Air Force, although still challenging, I've learned how valuable teamwork is and I'll always carry those lessons with me."
Lamb gives back to the military every day by tutoring, mentoring and educating people throughout her squadron.
"She's constantly making sure I'm taking college classes," said Marine Chief Warrant Officer John Nolan, Naval Consolidated Brig Charleston security officer. "She inspires everyone to better themselves."
According to Lamb, hard work is the key to success, whether in testing for staff sergeant or applying to Harvard. Every test she successfully passed, she noted, came from hours of studying.
"Enlisted airmen are vital to the success of the Air Force mission," Lamb said. "Education is an essential tool for that success. So, when I see so many people bettering themselves by going to school, I think their stories are as compelling as mine. I'm just lucky to have such amazing and supportive people in my life."

A crafty VP choice for McCain:
1) Young (to defend against Obama's "too old, nothing new" attacks)
2) A woman (to pick up undecided ex-Hillary voters)
Obama's VP:
1) Older (to fend off inexperience attacks)
2) Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee (i.e. the Iraq war)
Again, November will be interesting. Neither candidate has the majority of votes yet.
It doesn't matter that you present facts in regard to ring-wing politicians.
People are hard-wired in their perceptions/beliefs and are willing to make "allowances" for anything negative their politicians do. This is also true of left-leaning individuals. Even swing voters will vote based on their perceptions/beliefs- how they filter flaws applies here, too.
These candidates are both flawed to some extent, the divide comes from what people are willing to overlook.
In short, I doubt you're going to change any minds.
This being said, it's good that people are invested in their candidates. It's going to be another close election.
Sure, sure, pick your poison. We'll all vote for our own candidate- dependent upon our own personal, hard-wired political views.
Did everyone see McCain's gaffe with him not knowing how many houses he owns?
These guys I tell you... May the best politician win.
Did anyone read this week's Scene article, "Is It Miller Time?" (8/6-8/12)?
It highlights the Feds looking into a county deal involving Sam Miller and Forest City. Apparently, there is an issue with a polluted land purchase from 2000.
The whole bit sounds really sticky to me...
There's a good chance Peek will miss even more playing time when he gets a staph infection from the Cleveland Clinic.
According to Fox Sports, the Browns have the 7th most difficult schedule in '08.
The Steelers have the toughest schedule; the Ravens have the 3rd most difficult.
Not sure about the Bengals, but our entire division looks like it's got its work cut out for it. The Browns look good here.
I agree with cknikka- there needs to be a review of the Clinic's staph infection history, compared with other hospitals. The Browns have been silent about it, which is understandable from a business point of view.
Personally, off the top of my head, I can list three family members who've been treated at the Clinic, all caught staph infections there.
Football is a rough sport, new injuries each week. The NFL should examine cases of players developing staph infections- because this adds months to a player's recovery time (costing teams millions of dollars).
And the NFL hired a gang signs expert. Surely the staph thing is a larger and more widespread issue?
I thought the Pluto article was great, as usual- and he is one of the region's best sports writers.
The article is a good recap (and comparison) of last season's training camp to 2008's upcoming camp, which starts in a couple days.
It examined how much we've grown in a year's time, while addressing current areas of concern, while remaining optimistic about this season.
And yes, there isn't much else to write about until camp starts, so why not give a run-down for newer Browns fans?
My two favorite current-running shows: Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica.
The season finale of season four was some of the best Doctor Who I've watched. I wouldn't call it "overstuffed", since I'm also a fan of the sexier spin-off, Torchwood (so I was familiar with the crossover bits). It was a great final bow by Davies, a guy who's treated the history of the character with respect and wonder.
I know the show will be in good hands with Moffat, a gifted and original writer.
For American audiences, Doctor Who might come off as "cheeky", and some of it is. But along with fast-moving plots, believable characters, and humor, that's the charm of the show.
If you were the victim or the victim's family, would you still feel this is what Wilson deserves?
Sort of off topic, but if you're into Cleveland history (or listen to jazz), you should know that the legendary guitarist Django Reinhart made his American debut playing with Duke Ellington here, with both gents staying at the Hotel Statler.
Here's a link recounting it, a great bit of Cleveland lore:
Our city has a proud and unique history, just as fascinating as Chicago's, New York City's, or L.A.'s.
We need to be mindful of this, take pride in calling this place home.
People are different. Some folks like the suburbs, some prefer to live near the city. It's like this in almost all American cities. Isn't this obvious?
I don't see why some individuals need to bash the suburbs, while others bash city living. No one's saying you have to live in either place if you don't want to. Living in either place doesn't make one a bad person or whatever.
It only makes sense to be drawn to an area which suits your own individual needs, interests, and lifestyle.
Is it really productive to list all the things you personally like/dislike about one or the other? And do we have to be so defensive about it?
There is no single-minded Clevelander. It's something to embrace, not bicker about. A diverse city is something to celebrate. It's a good thing we have choices and options.
A lot of places in the world don't.
"This bus will be great if you're on your way to or from the Clinic but otherwise it's useless. There is nowhere else to go on Euclid all the shops and restaurants are long gone."
You personally may not like Playhouse Square, the Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum, the Botanical Gardens, Little Italy, Severance Hall (all of which have restaurants and stores), but many Clevelanders and visitors from other cities do. The corridor will make these points of interest (or points of disinterest to you) more accessible.
More shops and restaurants are on the way along Euclid, especially when the Flats project is completed.
It is true that more stores and restaurants along Euclid have long dried up. The idea is to develop them. New restaurants and stores are opening along Euclid right now, as you express your complaints this afternoon.
Thanks again for proving my point above.
These boards are always an interesting read.
It's fascinating how an individual's warped perception of something beneficial to this city twists and turns things into something negative.
No matter what good comes from the Euclid Corridor Project (or any forward-thinking endeavour in Cleveland, for that matter), said individuals aren't able to process this in his/her mind.
So I ain't gonna try.
I'm curious to see, however, how aforementioned individuals twist the fact that the Cleveland RTA was voted best transit system in America by the American Public Transportation Association in 2007.
I wouldn't be surprised if this fact were to be overlooked entirely...
And really, if you don't like riding public transportation or spending time Downtown, that's cool. But know there are scores of people living in and around Cleveland who do.
This city needs this project, it will connect all of the major points leading Downtown (the Cleveland Clinic,CSU,Playhouse Square, Case, and all of University Circle, ) for locals and out-of-towners.
It will pay off ten-fold in the very immediate future.
Agreed. And the new bike lanes along Euclid are great as well.
It is a cool design, but admittedly it does resemble a parking garage. Like a wormy parking garage.
I'm sure Maas will come up with an innovative design.
Those of you who've actually been to Little Italy recently know that Corbo's re-opened and expanded their bakery. They did a great job with the renovation.
For generations, Corbo's has been a gem to this city: superior baked goods, wedding cakes, etc. Really good people there.
I live right across the street from there, so I saw all the firetrucks pulling up last night. I was really hoping Corbo's would be OK.
Hopefully, they'll be able to overcome what happened.
I've been riding the RTA for years, I work Downtown. While paying for my fare after an Indians game, there was only one person collecting fare. There were dozens and dozens of fans waiting in line, others rushing through unattended meters. I've seen this before: RTA under-staffing during special events and sports games.
The fare-collector did the best she could, asking us to be patient, having to run to the other meters to make sure people had passes. She was obviously overwhelmed (as anyone would be).
I'd say this is a large reason there are monetary discrepancies with RTA's profits.
A great example of how important things can be achieved through compromise.
It should also be mentioned that admission to the Cleveland Museum of Art is FREE.

What is the difference between a beauty school, cosmetology school and a cosmetology college?
Not much. Typically a beauty school, cosmetology school and cosmetology college are very similar. The main difference between a beauty school, cosmetology school or cosmetology college is how the school wishes to brand itself. Certain schools strive to differentiate their program from other programs, as a way to highlight what their programs stand for. This also holds true to a cosmetology institute or beauty academy. As a prospective student, always ask about type of beauty programs and courses the school offers before deciding on where to attend. If still searching for schools, check out our Top Cosmetology Schools Guide.

Hello, all. 'Nother newbie here - already made two posts before seeing this thread. I never seemed to do things in quite the right order. Probably why I always have parts left over after putting something back together. But I'm a King fan of 26 years, and am glad to find this corner of the Net. Looking forward to poking around and interacting from time to time!

Buying and selling online can be a lot of work. Fire up a browser, go to eBay to list a new item and it can take as many as 64 decisions, 77 clicks, and 30 to 60 minutes to get the job done. List the same item on Glyde and the process can be done with just a few keystrokes and a couple of clicks.
Call it a case study in the advantages of intensity over extensity. You can buy or sell almost anything you want on eBay, Craigslist, or Amazon Marketplace. And that's exactly the problem. List an item on eBay and you've got to make dozens of decisions to describe your potentially one-of-a-kind item in painstaking detail.
Glyde doesn't do that. Instead founder Simon Rothman — who started eBay Motors — sells CDs, DVDs, videogames, and books. Rothman figures there is $300 billion of used media in U.S. homes. When a seller tells Glyde what he's got, Glyde will tell him what he can sell it for. Once a sale is made, Glyde will send a pre-addressed envelope to the seller's home. As soon as the customer gets his purchase, Glyde will give the seller their money.
In short, Rothman wants to do all the work so you don't have to. And that's hard work. "If you think about the kind of site that they've developed it is not as simple as two kids at Stanford and an Internet connection," says Bill Tai of Charles River Ventures, which invested $6 million in Glyde in 2007. "Commerce is a heavier task, the commerce space is bigger, it requires significantly deeper infrastructure to compete."
The result, however, is a web site that hides the weight of all that infrastructure behind a spare, unfussy interface. "We did all of our usability testing in the Midwest with middle-aged folks," Rothman says. Then the site was tested and tweaked for years by ever growing circles of customers in a closed beta before its launch last week.
The lesson Rothman learned from all that testing: if you want everything to work simply, you'll need everything your customer interacts with to fit together perfectly. To do that, Rothman and his team had to build a search engine, a payment system, a pricing engine, a feedback system, and even fussed around with the envelopes customers received.
The result? It's pretty slick. And if it's not quite as easy as dumping a book or CD in the trash, yet, it's certainly more profitable. — Brian Caulfield

Early Prevention of Colon Cancer is the Key!
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second-leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States, with approximately 50,000 deaths and 150,000 new cases annually. Screening allows more colorectal cancers to be found earlier, when the disease is easier to cure. Even more cases can be prevented if adenomas can be removed before they become malignant, making colonoscopy an important tool in the fight against colorectal cancers.(1)
Colorectal cancer typically develops from an abnormal tissue growth called a polyp (PAH-lup). During a colonoscopy, your doctor will examine the lining of your colon to check for polyps using a flexible tube with a small camera and light at the tip called a colonoscope (kuh-LAH-nuh-scope). This instrument is inserted through the anus and passed through the full length of the colon.
If necessary, your doctor can remove polyps and other abnormal tissues during the colonoscopy procedure. The tissue is then sent to the laboratory for further testing.
Doctors recommend having the first test performed around 50 years of age. Depending on what is found during your first colonoscopy, your next exam may be scheduled anywhere from one to 10 years later. Colonoscopy may be recommended before the age of 50 and be repeated frequently if you have certain risk factors.
What is a Colon Polyp?
A colon polyp is an abnormal lump of tissue that grows on the colon lining. Polyps in the colon are very common, especially in older adults. Most polyps are not cancerous, but there may be a few that can develop into colon cancer over time. Polyps found during colonoscopy are removed because it is not possible to determine which ones will become cancerous just by looking at them. Removed polyps will be sent to a lab for testing to look for cancerous cells.
Usually, you do not experience any symptoms with a colon polyp. However, if polyps become large enough, they can cause symptoms such as bleeding from the rectum, diarrhea, constipation, a change in stool, or going to the bathroom more or less often than usual. Most importantly, large polyps can become cancerous.
This is why regular colonoscopy screening to detect and remove polyps early is very important in preventing colon cancer.

Nuaym Ibn Masud
Nuaym Ibn MasudNuaym Ibn Masud
Nuaym ibn Masud was from Najd in the northern highlands of Arabia. He belonged to the powerful Ghatafan tribe. As a young man, he was clever and alert. He was full of enterprise and travelled widely. He was resourceful, every ready to take up a challenge and not prepared to allow any problem to get the better of him.
This son of the desert was endowed with extraordinary presence of mind and unusual subtlety. He was however someone who liked to enjoy himself and gave himself over to the pursuit of youthful passions. He loved music and took delight in the company of songstresses. Often when he felt the urge to listen to the strings of a musical instrument or to enjoy the company of a singer, he would leave the hearths of his people in the Najd and make his way to Yathrib and in particular to the Jewish community which was widely known for its song and music.
While in Yathrib, Nuaym was known to spend generously and he in turn would be lavishly entertained. In this way Nuaym came to develop strong links among the Jews of the city and in particular with the Banu Qurayzah.
At the time when God favored mankind by sending His Prophet with the religion of guidance and truth and the valleys of Makkah glowed with the light of Islam, Nuaym ibn Masud was still given over to the pursuit of sensual satisfaction. He stopped firmly opposed to the religion partly out of fear that he would be obliged to change and give up his pursuit of pleasure. And it was not long before he found himself being drawn into joining the fierce opposition to Islam and waging war against the Prophet and his companions.
The moment of truth for Nuaym came during the great siege of Madinah which took place in the fifth year of the Prophet's stay in the city. We need to go back a little to pick up the threads of the story.
Two years before the siege, the Prophet was compelled to banish a group of Jews belonging to the tribe of Banu an-Nadir from Madinah because of their collaboration with the Quraysh enemy. The Banu Nadir migrated to the north and settled in Khaybar and other oases along the trade route to Syria. They at once began to incite the tribes both near and far against the Muslims. Caravans going to Madinah were harassed partly to put economic pressure on the city.
But this was not enough. Leaders of the Banu an-Nadir got together and decided to form a mighty alliance or confederacy of as many tribes as possible to wage war on the Prophet, and to put an end once and for all to his mission. The Nadirites went to the Quraysh in Makkah and urged them to continue the fight against the Muslims. They made a pact with the Quraysh to attack Madinah at a specified time.
After Makkah, the Nadirite leaders set out northwards on a journey of some one thousand kilometers to meet the Ghatafan. They promised the Ghatafan the entire annual date harvest of Khaybar for waging war against Islam and its Prophet. They informed the Ghatafan of the pact they had concluded with the Quraysh and persuaded them to make a similar agreement.
Other tribes were also persuaded to join the mighty alliance. From the north came the Banu Asad and the Fazar. From the south the Ahabish, allies of the Quraysh, the Banu Sulaym and others. At the appointed time, the Quraysh set out from Makkah in large numbers on cavalry and on foot under the Leadership of Abu Sufyan ibn Harb. The Ghatafan too set out from Najd in large numbers under the leadership of Ubaynah ibn Hisn. In the vanguard of the Ghatafan army was Nuaym ibn Masud.
News of the impending attack on Madinah reached the Prophet while he was half-way on a long expedition to Dumat al-Jandal on the Syrian border some fifteen days journey from Madinah. The tribe at Dumat al-Jandal was molesting caravans bound for Madinah and their action was probably prompted by the Banu an-Nadir to entice the Prophet away from Madinah. With the Prophet away, they reasoned, it would be easier for the combined tribal forces from the north and the south to attack Madinah and deal a mortal blow to the Muslim community with the help of disaffected persons from within the city itself.
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, hurried back to Madinah and conferred with the Muslims. The forces of the Ahzab or the confederate enemy tribes amounted to over ten thousand men while the Muslims fighting were just three thousand men. It was unanimously decided to defend the city from within and to prepare for a siege rather than fight in the open. The Muslims were in dire straits.
"When they came upon you from above and from below you, and when eyes grew wild and hearts reached to the throats. and you were imagining vain thoughts concerning God. Then were the believers sorely tried and shaken with a mighty shock." (The Quran, Surah al-Ahzab, 33:1O)

Hiking Utah
Hike of the week: Holmes Creek — Webb Canyon
Directions • From Highway 89 in Kaysville turn east on 200 North then turn left on Mountain Road the take a right onto 650 North and follow the road as it goes east for about a quarter-mile until you see a big dirt parking lot and a large wooden sign called the East Mountain Wilderness Park. This is also a trailhead for the Bonneville Shoreline trail and the Great Western Trail.
Keep this hike in mind for a great April Fools' Day gag. It begins as a very deceivingly, easy wide path on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail with a nice view of Kaysville and Davis County, but promptly turns into a hike straight up a mountain, if you veer off the shoreline trail to a biking trail. Keep an ear out, as there is a rifle range nearby.
It is a perfect fall hike to see the colors of short shrubbery changing colors and cacti and desert sage bordering the trails, and a chance to smell the crisp fall air.
As you go off the beaten path the trail that was once accommodating to jogging strollers, families, narrows to something only a hiker, biker, or horse could access and shoots straight up the mountain ridge with a steep incline that goes up more than 1,000 feet over the next mile that has you testing your endurance.
The gorgeous overlook of the Davis County expands to Weber and Salt Lake County the higher you get. There is no match for the view and a great cardio workout. After hitting a heavily shaded area with scrub oak trees I finished which is why I called it 1339, because of how many feet in elevation I went. Make the hike your own!

"I have been involved with physical fitness for the past 40 years, walking, running and training; and after using 2040v2 for the past two months can state that these are the best shoes by far I've ever used. They are well balance in every respect: weight, size, comfort, feel and well constructed."
