In your articles you defend the recently proposed theory that gravity is an entropic force,driven by the increase in information. Based on that,what would be the fundamental constituents of the Universe?
Gravity can be understood as an entropic force,provided our universe is holographic in nature. And for that to be the case,the fundamental degrees of freedom need to be much sparser than one might expect based on standard quantum field theory. These holographic degrees of freedom are manifest in space-time in the form of causal influences. In loose terms one can think of these as discrete ray paths which fill space-time due to their direction being somewhat uncertain.
What exactly is your view on space-time? You seem to think it is discrete rather than continuous?
Space-time is emergent in a way we do not understand. Some causal structure must be the foundation from which space-time emerges. I am convinced this causal structure is discrete in nature. It has to be for the emergent space-time to have holographic properties.
In one of your articles you defend the possibility of a theory of everything. Does that imply the possibility of truth? I. e. of knowing something for a fact about the Universe?
Hawking and many others have claimed that Gödel's undecidability theorems prevent a theory of everything. That is a wrong conclusion. Gödel does not prevent us to construct a theory of everything,but he does prevent us to turn this theory into a crystal ball. If we have a theory of everything,we will still not be able to predict the outcome of a coin flip,let alone predict tomorrow in all its details. So a theory of everything is possible,but it is a misnomer.
Now what does such a theory imply in terms of truth? Truth in this context is nothing more than the recognition of a consistent description that correctly describes measurement outcomes. So yes,I guess we will know truth –in an operational way –when we have a theory of everything.
What is your take on the Stephen Hawking-God issue?
An absolute non-issue. An old message really. With the gravitational energy of the universe balancing the mass-energy content,the total energy of the universe adds up to zero. So,energy-wise,the universe can emerge out of nothing,and quantum physics tells us that what can happen,will have a finite probability amplitude of happening. That's all there is to it. Hawking's publisher has made a clever marketing move by playing the god card. Yet,from a physics perspective the whole claim 'god not needed'is empty.
Being a physicist,you've learned the deterministic (albeit chaotic) theory of Newton,then jumped to the probabilistic (when making a measurement) Quantum Mechanics. Do you think free will is compatible with either of those world-views? Or is it just an illusion of our minds?
We have no clue whatsoever what is free will and how it emerges. What we do know is that our physical theories are deterministic,but that does not mean these leave no room for free will. Key concept in this is Turing's idea of uncomputability. Newcomb's paradox disappears and free will gets free reign when we take uncomputability into account. In this context it is important to realize that gravity profoundly deepens Turing's concept of uncomputability. Gravity limits the size of the computation that can be accommodated in our universe. The universe itself is the ultimate computation,any larger computation will disappear behind causal horizons. So there is no way to predict what will happen other than to create a universe to make it happen. That concept leaves a lot of room for unpredictability,free will if you like.
However,all of this doesn't tell us why you and I seem to have this thing we call free will and a stone apparently not. When it comes to issues like free will and consciousness,physics simply has no answers.
Lately -over the last 50 years- the world has seen the rise of currents of thought such as constructivism,still very popular in social science circles,which place their emphasis in questioning the role and explanatory power of science. Similarly,disciplines like homeopathy are starting to be taught in universities and funded by governments,despite their repeated failure to show any real results. Nowadays,it is becoming increasingly popular to say things like "everything is relative"or "there is no truth". Why do you think this is happening? What can scientists do to reverse this trend?
I noticed on my weblog that articles that carry titles that may be interpreted as critical towards science attract hugely more readers than other articles. In bookshops the shelves labeled 'metaphysics'extend far beyond those labeled 'physics'. It seems fashionable to question scientific results and to deny science its power to brush aside and eliminate irrational fantasies.
On the other hand,has this ever been different? These days irrationality has a strong voice,particularly so on the Internet. But that does not mean irrationality is increasing. I am an optimist at heart,and would like to believe that science awareness and interest in science,if anything,are increasing. But things you do not understand can come across as threatening. And there is undeniably a wide gap in science understanding. There is a clear task for scientists to communicate with an audience far wider than fellow specialists. That is not easy,but it must be done. There is a huge appetite for science blogs. I am happy to play an active role in this area,and I hope more scientists will liberate time to do so. Also,science needs to become more open,and results funded by tax payers need to become fully public. Sites like Arxiv are a blessing,but still too many articles are not freely available.
Finally and on a lighter note,what is the meaning of life?
To live it to the fullest.

UNC Greensboro wins Pinehurst Intercollegiate
UNC Greensboro won the Pinehurst Intercollegiate on Tuesday, finishing on Pinehurst No. 8, for the Spartans' 17th team title in program history.
UNCG, ranked No. 50 in the country, held on to its 36-hole lead with a solid final round to defeat runner-up Belmont by six strokes. The Pinehurst Intercollegiate's first and third rounds were on Pinehurst No. 8. The second round was hosted at Pinehurst No. 2, the home of the upcoming U.S. Open Championship and Women's U.S. Open Championship in June.
The Spartans finished the 54-hole event with a 893 score after posting scores of 302 in both rounds one and three at Pinehurst No. 8, while recording the lowest round of the tournament with a 289 at Pinehurst No. 2. UNCG had all five of its starting lineup finish in the top 21 of the 61-player field.
The Spartans opened the final day with a 10-stroke lead and extended it to as large as 17 strokes, but held off Belmont down the stretch as the Bruins pulled within one stroke of the lead with five holes to play. The Spartans were able to close the deal on the final three holes for the six-stroke victory.
Junior Roy Dixon (Salisbury) continued his all-conference level of play of late with a career-best third place finish. Dixon finished at 9-over 221, trailing on Danny Pizetoski of Richmond (215) and Patric Sundlof of Eastern Kentucky (218). He opened the tournament with a 4-over par 75 in round one, posted the best round of the day Monday with an even-par 70 on No. 2 before closing out on No. 8 with a 76.
Freshman Jake McGlone (Charlotte Latin) finished fourth with a 223 total. McGlone's 3-over 74 was the low Spartan card of the round.
Sophomore Taylor Coalson (North Surry) tied for 13th overall with a 227 total. Freshman Carter Jenkins (Leesville Road) tied for 16th at 229. Junior Alex Ehlert (Athens Drive) was 18th shooting 230.

Off-duty Belen police officer helps saves girl in San Diego
A Belen police sergeant's trip with family members to San Diego turned into a bit more work as he was walking along the pier near North Harbor Drive on Dec. 31.
Jose Natividad, a sergeant with the Belen Police Department, heard a frantic scream from a father whose baby daughter had fallen into the water near the Maritime Museum of San Diego.
Natividad and his family were walking along the pier when the incident happened at about 11:15 a.m.
The Belen police officer said he was able to grab a life preserver and talk the man through to safety.
"He was already holding the baby when I got there," Natividad said. "But I was able to calm him down and help pull them out of the water."
The sergeant said he happened to be in the right place at the right time. He said officers are trained to be aware of their surroundings at all times.
Natividad pulled the baby to safety once the father swam to a platform with his daughter. He had presence of mind to get the wet clothes off of the girl to avoid any type of hypothermia.
"(The father) was pretty exhausted from what all was going on," Natividad said.
Natividad was interviewed by local television media in San Diego and said he was just reacting to the situation.
Belen Police Chief Dan Robb said the whole department is proud of Natividad's quick actions.
"It shows the level of professionalism (he has)," Robb said. "Even when he is on vacation in another state, he is still doing his job."

I have not played Mass Effect 3 yet but do not care of spoilers, so spoil away for me if you have an answer to this.
If the Reapers have been slumbering for 50 thousand years, and they are 50 thousand light years away in the deep space of the galaxy like it lays out in Mass Effect 2, then why don't we see them when they were active? The light that astronomers would have been observing would be 50,000 years old by the time of the trilogy, and if there was a mass extinction event, those astronomers would have observed it.
Any sort of war on a galactic scale would have dispelled enough energy to make it observable in the sky.
Is there any story justification for this in 3?

Bosom buddy: Bra tweets every time it's unhooked
The Tweeting Bra is a Twitter-connected bra with a greater purpose. Every time it comes undone, it sends a tweet.
What do chocolate, Twitter, and bras have in common? They've all come together for a marketing campaign aimed at breast cancer awareness. The campaign hinges on a bra that sends a tweet each time the clasp is freed.
Despite the rich possibilities for teen-romp coming-of-age movies, the Tweeting Bra's aim is to encourage women to conduct breast self-exams every month.
Nestle, the brand best known for its chocolate associations, has a cereal brand called Nestle Fitness sold pretty much everywhere but the US and Canada. No, it's not just a bunch of chunks of chocolate in a box. It's actually geared toward health-conscious consumers. That's why the Nestle Fitness/breast cancer awareness campaign actually makes sense.
Boobs, I did it again! ??? ??????????? ?????. ???????? @mariabacodimou #tweetingbra— TweetingBra (@tweetingbra) October 22, 2013
Greek TV personality Maria Bakodimous is wearing the connected bra for two weeks. Each time the bra is unhooked, it sends a message via Bluetooth to a cell phone, which then sends an automated tweet through the @TweetingBra account.
Most of the bra's tweets are in Greek, but there are a few English messages. "Some don't understand me cause I speak Greek. Instead of learning Greek, learn something easier: how to have a self-exam!" reads one tweet.
The bra is a limited-time stunt, but it's not a bad idea. If women everywhere had bras that sent alerts to their phones when it's time to do a self-examination, it could be helpful. You just might not want to tweet the whole world about it.

Order Like a Pro at Lao Hunan in Chicago's Chinatown
Giant +1s to the Jade Tofu and the Crispy Fish, which toes the line between spicy and overly salty in the most successful of ways.
Kate Bernot paused from eating just long enough to write about it for RedEye, Who's Hungry? Magazine, Conde Nast Traveler, and of course, Serious Eats. 90% of the time she is carrying both her laptop and a coffee.
Lincoln Park has transformed for Green City Market on a sun-drenched Saturday morning, and there's a line forming at a corner booth, as kids, dogs, and shoppers queue up to make their purchases. It's not kohlrabi they're gunning for (though I wouldn't blame them if they were), but one of Seedling Farms' super-refreshing cider smoothies. More
Though they normally preside over dry-aged rib eyes, Himalayan salt rocks, and whipped potatoes, it turns out the chefs at David Burke's Primehouse have a pretty serious sweet tooth. Lucky for the general public, they're going to be indulging these sugary impulses every Friday during the summer from 3 to 5 PM from a pop-up ice cream counter. Though it was a brisk—scratch that, chilly—50-something degrees on the first Friday in May, we were there to check out the offerings. More
When was the last time you had carrot cake? Yeah, it had been a while for me, too. But when a friend couldn't stop raving about the "best he's ever had" carrot cake at Julius Meinl, I figured it was worth a bike ride up to the Viennese pâtisserie's newest location in Ravenswood. More
The wacky spring weather Chicago has experienced over the past two months has at least one silvery lining: the arrival of the strawberry sundae ($10) at Nightwood. Pastry chef Matthew Rice jumped at the chance to transform simple berries into his strawberry sundae—an elegant, balanced version of a childhood favorite. More
These days, peanut brittle doesn't get the respect it deserves, relegated as it is to grandmothers' holiday tables and that unappreciated space on the Candy Land board. Zingerman's, I believe, could single-handedly reverse this. More
To really understand the simple allure of the biscotti ($8) at Piccolo Sogno, you have to be there. Really. So for a moment, close your eyes—maybe wait until your boss is out of the room—and put yourself on the restaurant's lush back patio (one of our favorites in the city, obviously). More
Even as the city acclimates to the idea of trendy doughnuts from fine dining vets, a $5 frosted ring of dough is still gutsy. When 2 Sparrows first opened, attention centered on the signature maple-bacon doughnut and foie gras-cherry Pop-Tart, but a new tiramisu-flavored doughnut trumps both of those creations. More
Pan Hellenic Pastry Shop doesn't have all the over-the-top Athenian accoutrements of some of its Greektown neighbors: no blue and white tile motif, no mural of the Parthenon, no flaming cheese served tableside. But what it does have is some of the best baklava in the city, featuring dozens of layers of flaky phyllo that crack and wilt into one syrupy, nutty bite. More
Recently, Jam's been baking up a light and crumbly raspberry coffee cake ($4). The traditional crumb top gives way to an interior that's more reminiscent of a muffin than a coffee cake, with pops of just-tart-enough raspberry to counteract the sweetness. More
Bite into the lemon meringue cupcake at Sweet Sensations, and the gooey meringue quickly mingles with tart, sugary lemon curd. The concentrated citrus flavor puckers your mouth, while the fluffy meringue sticks happily to your lips. More
Anyone who bemoans the lack of serious pastry shops or bakeries in this town will quickly find herself comforted by the pristine, elegant tartes, entremets, and macarons at Vanille Patisserie. The newest addition to the menu, The Eleanor ($6.65), is exactly the type of dessert you'd want on a warm spring day: bright, citrusy, and satisfying without being heavy. More
Chocolate chip cookies are the hamburgers of the dessert world: Every shop seems to have one on the menu, but a truly great version is hard to come by. A lot of this has to do with personal preference: nuts or no nuts, crispy or soft, dunked or dry. But in my arduous research—arduous, I tell you!—I realized that the best chocolate chip cookies are the ones that keep it simple. More
Lovely's airy, warm cafe may be the best spot for tearing into this slice straightaway. Warm wood and vintage floral prints make the interior look like a Pinterest dream, and some communal seating means there's a potential to meet like-minded dessert fiends. Just be advised that said communal seating could mean you'll have to share a bite of that blueberry almondine. More
It's safe to say that the doughnut is indeed having its moment in Chicago. So when former L2O chef Frances Brennan teamed up with partner Jeff Mahin to open a miniscule, standing room only doughnut operation in The Loop last week, the timing couldn't have been better. Luckily, they deliver on the hype with a balanced, crunchy pistachio-Meyer lemon doughnut. More
Urban Union's pastry chef Mitsu Nozaki has created an elegant homage to the Kit Kat bar. She replicates the flavors and basic texture of the candy bar without crumbling an actual Kit Kat all over the plate. More
A dessert with its own holiday must be pretty special, right? To truly understand why people go so nuts for these pastries, you need to line up outside Delightful Pastries' Jefferson Park storefront, where just inside young women fill cardboard boxes with dozens of the fresh creations, faces streaked with powdered sugar and eyes tired from the early wake-up call. It's part spectacle, part ritual, but that doesn't diminish how tasty these little spheres are. More
Autre Monde's menu has all the requisite ingredients that prove its Mediterranean cred: hummus, octopus, sardines, olives. Oh, and there are chickpeas, just not where you'd expect. The creamy garbanzo beans slide surreptitiously onto the dessert menu. More
Giant +1s to the Jade Tofu and the Crispy Fish, which toes the line between spicy and overly salty in the most successful of ways.
Thumbs up to the veggie tacos at L'Patron, too.
Love Freddy's! Cured meats hanging from the ceiling + delicious gelato is a winning combo.
I love the Old Fries! I mean, if one trip to the fryer is delicious, why not two...?
Hell yea Pita Inn! When I lived in Evanston we'd make the drive to Pita Inn for cheap, tasty food and hookah supplies from the adjacent market (hey, it was college, give me a break). Fond memories of the sandwiches, if not the hookah. Tasty pastries from the market as I recall.
Disclaimer: I worked at Al's Deli for 3 years during my NU days (best. job. ever.)
Despite this tiny bit of bias, I think it's safe to say that Al's has some of the best sandwiches and soups in town. Two brothers (Al's sons) run the 60+ year old store, making soups by hand and sandwiches to-order. And, oh, the soups. Just order them. No matter what they are. My go-to sammies are the Herkimer cheese on seeded baguette, roast beef on croissant and smoked turkey aioli on rosemary olive (breads courtesy of Red Hen). Finish lunch with a house-made macaron or crazy-sweet butter cookie.
This is my go-to at Slurping Turtle! The seaweed is my favorite part; something about the ways it snaps along with the noodles. Oh, and it's beautiful.
Wow, would never have dreamed up a lemon-baklava combo, but I'm very glad someone else did.
I want all of these. Immediately. I especially love the old-school cone at Boiler Room.
Thankfully not pictured: us passing around the communal corndog.
@Ellie: The day that I visited, Vanille had a rose flavor.
Anna, I love everything Birchwood does, but can't say I've had the cookie! It's on my list.
Kate, People go NUTS for Potbelly's cookies. Don't worry, you're not the only one who loves them.
Adding a shout-out to the fantastic fish and chips at Owen & Engine. Not the cheapest option, but a total winner.
Love the Flower Flat! They do a fresh, three-course BYO dinner on Fridays for around $20. Can't beat it!
Crispy fries all the way! That said, they should still have a pillowy interior that lets you taste the potato flavor, not just the oil. For me, a perfect sweet potato fry rules.
My favorite Thai spot serves green papaya in their som tom salad with spicy chiles, fish sauce, peanuts for extra crunch, and blue crab when it's in season. The heat is at its perfect level: nearly unbearable, but oh-so-good.
Urban Union's pastry chef Mitsu Nozaki has created an elegant homage to the Kit Kat bar. She replicates the flavors and basic texture of the candy bar without crumbling an actual Kit Kat all over the plate. More
As you've probably noticed, Kate Bernot is our resident sweets expert. She picked her favorites cups of hot chocolate, and has also found the perfect dessert on Devon. She also has a weakness for coffee, but we'll let her take it from here. More
Tahoora stays open late, has ample seating, and serves a saccharine rainbow of treats. Think Willy Wonka, by way of Karachi. Though there are loads of tempting options, it's the more subtle brown pistachio halwa that shouldn't be overlooked. More

Sean Gabriel
Applied Faculty, Flute
Music & Communication Building, Room 435
Sean Gabriel's main teachers were William J. Hebert and James J. Pellerite. In addition to the current position of principal flutist of the Blue Water Chamber Orchestra, Sean is also the principal flutist of the Cleveland Chamber Symphony, our city's award winning new music ensemble. With the group, Gabriel has taken part in dozens of world premiere performances including one written by former music director Edwin London entitled Scenes for Flute and Orchestra. This work was recorded by Mr. Gabriel and the Chamber Symphony for the Albany label in 2001. Mr. Gabriel is heard playing the flute part in the Cleveland Chamber Symphony recording of Olivier Messiaen's Oiseaux Exotiques featuring pianist, Angelin Chang. This recording won the 2007 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist with Orchestra. Works that have been written for Mr. Gabriel include Dance Moments 2000 for flute and piano by New York composer Matthew Greenbaum, and a work for flute and percussion entitled Pinions Lie Down in Tin by Cleveland composer and pianist Eric Ziolek.

text: Nothing to base this on really but I think we could actually see lower ammo prices by the second half of 2009. With a global economic crisis in progress, demand for metails, oil, etc is declining. If Obama pulls us out of Iraq or even curtails our involvement it'll free up some ammo capacity. The craze for buying now might be a little bit of a knee jerk reaction so it should subside, and manufactuerers might increase capacity a bit to take advantage of the short term margins. Put it all together and you might see a soft spot in late 2009 ammo prices. Having said that, i'm also stocking up a little bit:tongue:

It's every young husband's nightmare — after getting your wife pregnant during the honeymoon, your super-genes cause the baby to grow at a rapid rate and it is born within a matter of days, thus killing the mom. C'mon guys, we've all thought about it.
That's exactly what happens to Robert Pattinson in the new trailer for Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 1. Also, looks like we get a rumble between vampires and werewolves. If you're into the imagery of gaunt art school students suplexing over-sized wolves, you'd better get yourself a ticket, because this is the movie for you.

For the first time in Penn State's glorious 120-year football history, a trio of Nittany Lions made at least 40 receptions during the 2006 campaign. Terrell Golden wasn't one of them. An early-season ankle sprain slowed his progress, but during the second half of the season, the former Lake Taylor HS All-American was making big plays as he has throughout his career. And when the Nittany Lions moved into winter conditioning and spring practice, Golden was among the players who took an active leadership role on the squad. He's a senior, one of a handful of seniors who are likely to play a significant role on a young team, and he wants to make sure his teammates are working as hard as they can and staying focused in their pursuit of Big Ten and national championships this season. He was recognized by the coaching staff as the recipient of the 2007 Red Worrell Award for his on-field improvement and off-field leadership. The talented Golden brings good size and athleticism to the unit and likely will have the opportunity to log substantial playing time, especially when the Lions employ three and four-receiver sets. His 6-3 frame gives the quarterbacks a big target. In his career, the swift and sure-handed Golden has an impressive 21.7 yards per catch average. He is one of six returning Lions from Virginia and joins Chris Bell and Devin Fentress from the Tidewater Region. Golden was on schedule to earn his degree in labor and industrial relations in August.

Nursing Majors Graduate
not the temperature nor the overcast skies nor the occasional
could dampen the spirits of the 12 pioneer graduates of
the St. Luke's Commemorative School of Nursing at Moravian
day before Commencement, the students, their parents, the nursing
faculty, and a host of dignitaries from the College
and St. Luke's
Hospital and Health Network gathered to celebrate a threefold success
Accreditation. One of the oddities of nursing accreditation is
that initial approval isn't granted until the first class
is ready to graduate from the program. Moravian's program
was approved May 6, little more than a week before Commencement,
by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, an agency charged
by the U.S. Department of Education with oversight of nursing-education
Achievement. The first students entered an untested program in
1999, taking it on faith that it would provide them with an education
and a future. The program, designed by department chairman Janet
A. Sipple and her charter faculty of eight full-time and two visiting
professors, is unique in its holistic approach to the profession.
Courses such as "Quest into the Phenomenology of Nursing" encourage
students to think of their work "three-dimensionally," as
practitioners, counselors, educators, advocates, and health-care
coordinators, rather than dividing the field into linear areas
such as age groups (pediatric) or types of care (oncology, surgery).
Accomplishment. Of the dozen graduates, three (Regina Lacombe,
Erica Miller, and Nicole Spangler) completed Honors projects
and five graduated cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum
Regina also was president for two years of United Student
Government. Almost the entire class walked off the stage into
jobs: five at
St. Luke's in Bethlehem, two at Children's
Hospital and one at Hahneman University Hospital in Philadelphia,
and one
in a hospital in Connecticut. Allen Smith III, the first
R.N. (graduate of a two-year diploma program) to return
to school and complete
the Bachelor of Science, will continue at Lehigh Valley
Hospital, where he has been employed all along. Allen also
won the George
Tyler Award, "given to a Division of Continuing and
Graduate Studies student for academic excellence, contribution
to the institution,
a profession, or the community, and triumph over difficult
circumstances encountered in pursuing a college degree." Nicole
won the newly established Priscilla Payne Hurd Prize in
Nursing and Lauren
Beth Spencer the new St. Luke's Hospital Award for
Nursing Practice Excellence.
School of Nursing gave its first nursing pin to Priscilla
Payne Hurd, chairman of Moravian College's Board
of Trustees and a life trustee of St. Luke's Hospital,
where her gifts include an eight-story patient wing.
It was her donation that enabled the
School of Nursing to open its doors at Moravian.
guest of honor at the celebration and at Commencement was Margaret
McClure '61, a graduate of Moravian's first
nursing program. The College awarded her
an honorary Doctor
of Laws degree in tribute to her significant career
as a nursing educator and hospital administrator at
York University.

In a word: yes.
David Frum explains in the Daily Beast. The short version? Radio programming directors are risk averse. Rush is risky, and is now creeping out advertisers. Also, his audience isn't as big as you think it is, which is why he keeps being outrageous, to try and keep people listening longer. And when Huck's show goes head to head with him, advertisers may see Huckabee as safe harbor. Read on.
Meanwhile, Cumulus isn't even hiding it:
Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey … says Cumulus has "seen a real opportunity" to talk about Cumulus Media-syndicated Mike Huckabee, whose daily three-hour show launches in April. Dickey says Huckabee has already signed up 110 affiliates, with the tagline, "more conversation, less confrontation."
UPDATE: the one thing that Frum got wrong? The number of sponsors who have jettisoned Rush (and similar shows like Savage Nation, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck). It's not "more that 30″ as Frum said. It's something like 140. And Media Matters' Eric Boehling said on MSNBC to it that Rush is losing sponsors at a faster rate than Glenn Beck did in the 18 months before he was chased off Fox News.

"Primo tweet del papa!"

- A table - to be removed once the tweet has been sent.
- Encouraging applause following your first, tentative touch of the hardware.

A man has been arrested for allegedly robbing a Coon Rapids jewelry store in December.
Police say they arrested 23-year-old Matthew Thomas Kennedy Tuesday, but he has not been charged. Kennedy has been arrested multiple times for theft-related crimes, police say. Although he has no permanent address, Kennedy's last known address was in Fridley.
The suspect went to Kay Jewelry at Riverdale Mall around 4:20 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 30, and asked to see an engagement ring.
According to the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, the man forcefully took the ring from the sales clerk and left the store. The ring is described as a 1.6 carat Leo diamond ring with a value of more than $10,000.
The female clerk was injured during a struggle and received medical attention for a broken finger.
This case is currently under investigation.

I would like to express the pleasure I have had working with Jennifer Greenmun over the past two years. She has gone to great lengths to become knowledgeable in her new profession as a Realtor. It shows in everything she does. Her attention to detail and her passion for her carrier shows with every listing and every sale. All of her customers love working with her also.
I feel honored when I am called to work with one of her clients to perform a home inspection.
I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone looking to sell or purchase a new home.

Princeton Program: Consortium for Advanced Studies in Barcelona
Barcelona, Spain
Program Overview
The Consortium for Advanced Studies in Barcelona (CASB), a collaborative initiative involving Brown, Chicago, Cornell, Duke, Harvard, Northwestern, Princeton, and Stanford, provides students with a unique opportunity to have direct access to three distinguished Spanish universities. The program is designed for students in all disciplines with advanced Spanish skills who are looking for serious and rigorous academic study.
Woodrow Wilson School juniors are eligible to apply for the fall semester.
Students can participate in non-credit internships in a variety of areas: art and culture, education, marketing and communication, business, international relations, consulting, NGOs, science and technology, and language and translation.
CASB students are immersed in the local university environment and take most of their courses at one or more of the Consortium's partner universities: Universitat de Barcelona (UB), Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), Universitat Polytecnica de Catalunya (UPC), and Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF). Comprehensive student services support the academic and social experience.
The Universities
CASB partners with four distinguished Barcelona universities whose combined course offerings provide students with an array of opportunities in the humanities, social sciences, physical and natural sciences, art, and architecture.
- Universitat de Barcelona, founded in 1455, enrolls more than 70,000 students. Offering 75 undergraduate degrees, over 90 doctorate programs, and 390 postgraduate courses, UB is the largest of the ten universities in Catalonia and the second largest in Spain.
- Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona was established in 1968 and enrolls more than 50,000 students. The state-of-the art Bellaterra campus in Cerdanyola del Vallès is home to most of its departments, institutes, and services. Seventy-eight degree programs are available at UAB, covering a wide range of fields, including the humanities and arts, social sciences, health sciences, and experimental and technological sciences.
- Universitat Polytecnica de Catalunya, founded in 1971, the is a public university specializing in the fields of architecture, health sciences, engineering, merchant seamanship, economics, and applied mathematics. It offers 68 undergraduate degrees within its 11 campuses and regional centers, 23 schools, and 42 departments. Recognized as a Campus of Excellence by the Spanish Ministry of Education, the UPC is at the cutting-edge of research and scholarship.
- Universitat Pompeu Fabra is a dynamic institution established in 1990. Today it enrolls 11,000 students and offers courses in all fields – from experimental, health, and life sciences to human and social sciences and technical studies – on an expanding campus in the heart of the city, stretching between the Ramblas and the district of Poblenou, site of the 1992 Olympics.
The City
With a population of five million and an impressive array of museums, architecture, art, and entertainment, Barcelona is one of the most important intellectual and cultural centers of Spain. Barcelona is justifiably proud of its past as a crossroads of Roman, Visigoth, and Arabic civilizations. At the same time, its progressive spirit has made it one of the most modern and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
The region's vast historical, cultural, linguistic, and artistic legacy is an ideal looking glass through which to examine key political, social, economic, and cultural issues affecting Spain, the Mediterranean region, and the whole of Europe today. Barcelona is just half an hour from sandy beaches, three hours from the majestic peaks of the Pyrenees, and two hours from the French border.

"Obviously people disagree with our union because we have that controversial age gap," Courtney Stodden explains in this sneak peek from episode one of Couples Therapy, which premieres next Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Despite the other, more visible reasons the union turns heads — Courtney's love for PVC skirts with a 0-inch inseam, the fact that husband Doug Hutchison has Courtney's name shaved into his 52-year-old head — the age gap is definitely the biggie, and it's about to cause a lot of problems for their co-stars on the show as well. In this clip, Courtney giggles her way through their interview while Doug explains that he's "raising" his wife, and elaborates on the toll that their relationship has taken on his family who has disowned him.
Watch the sneak above, watch the show, and judge for yourself. Will a closer look at the pair change the public's perception of them, or just make it worse?

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced that on January 23, 2014, Kyle Monahan appeared before the Honorable William Johnston for sentencing for Homicide by Intoxicated Use of Vehicle, for causing the death of Rebecca Cushman. Monahan was convicted by a jury on October 8, 2013.
At the sentencing hearing, Michele Cushman, the mother of Rebecca Cushman, provided victim impact statements to the court. After hearing arguments from the state and the defense, as well as the victim impact statements, Judge Johnston sentenced Monahan to 20 years in the Wisconsin State Prison System, bifurcated as 10 years of Initial Confinement and 10 years of Extended Supervision.
Assistant Attorney General Tara Jenswold assisted Lafayette County District Attorney Katherine Findley in the prosecution of this case. The case was investigated by the Wisconsin State Patrol's Technical Reconstruction Unit, with assistance from the Lafayette County Sheriff's Department and the Shullsburg Police Department. Victim Services were provided by the Lafayette County District Attorney's Office.

Oh, the life of being a camera technician. We have gotten all kinds of stuff that comes in with peoples equipment when they send it in for evaluation to be sold. Sometimes it's funny stuff, and sometimes it's down-right odd. Here's a few stories of things that the technicians here at KEH have seen come through...
* Memory cards often come in with "interesting" things on them... and lets just leave it at that.
* We've seen equipment sent in that instead of being properly packed in bubble wrap and packing peanuts, it was packaged in: t-shirts, hats, socks, diapers, and other personal clothing items. We've also seen other "inventive" packaging materials such as dead leaves being used.
* One time a guy thought
it amusing to use "Danger: Molecular Biohazard" stickers on his wrapped
camera equipment. Yeah, that's not so funny.
* Sometimes camera straps are sewn together- these are impossible to get off without ruining the straps, and they must be cut. It's a mix of kind of funny and irritating when it's a subtle sew and the tech goes through the process of undoing the strap just to find out that it won't come off due to a sneaky hidden stitch.
* Occasionally things get dangerous. We see broken glass often, usually it's just from broken filters, but it has been lens glass and ground glass before. It's both heartbreaking and scary for the tech who has to try and clean up tiny shards without getting cut. One of the most memorable scary incidents
was probably the person that left a six hook fishing lure in amongst the
styrofoam pellets. Needless to say, it wasn't a pretty situation for that technician.
* Over the years there's been quite a variety of very cool Swiss Army knives, usually found in the back pockets of camera bags.
* Someone once thought it would be a good idea to reuse a box that had previously contained kitty litter to send their equipment to us. You can imagine the grit that made it's way into each piece.
* We've seen horrifying packing jobs with tape.... tape stuck directly on to the front and rear lens elements when a cap wasn't available to "protect" the glass- this does the opposite of protect, it ruins it. Tape mummies- when people mummify their items in tape, often wrapping very tightly. This affords very little protection to the equipment, and makes unwrapping them a very painstaking process.
* A few years ago a customer sent in their digital equipment, along with a receipt from when they bought it, which was fairly early in the age of digital cameras, around 1998. A few of us were shocked to learn that they had paid in the neighborhood of $300 for a memory card...a 256mb memory card! We sure have come a long way.
* We have, on a few occasions, gotten cameras that have been "bedazzled".
* Oh, and lets not forget about the contraband that was left and found in a medium format back.

LOUISVILLE – Finding a way to force a second NCAA regional championship game on Monday is one thing.
Doing so behind a masterful two-hit shutout from a relief pitcher who rarely throws more than an inning is another.
While southpaw Richie Goodenow was too tired after 99 pitches to do much smiling in the post-game press conference after Vanderbilt's 7-0 victory over top seed Louisville on Sunday, he must have been aglow on the inside.
Now we have a Xerox copy of 2009. The Commodores' season boils down to one Monday evening against the host Cards.
Here's what coaches and players had to say leading into the do-or-die final at 5 p.m. that will decide who faces Florida State in the super regionals:
Vanderbilt Coach Tim Corbin
On Goodenow's dominance …
"His performance was as good as what I've seen maybe in 28 years of coaching. The importance of it, the fact that he was down in the bullpen for most of the first game (Friday vs. Illinois State), the fact that he's never pitched a game that long since he's been at Vanderbilt … he pitched to two (batters) over the minimum. There's not much more you can say about it.
"The first couple of innings he seemed just go out there and throw his offspeed pitches for strikes. He looked comfortable. He had a good rhythm going. You could just tell the way he was coming off the field with our catcher. Into the third, fourth and fifth (innings), at one time I didn't even say anything to D.J. (pitching coach Derek Johnson) about how far do you think he can go? I'm sure there was a point there where adrenalin takes over, cause I'm sure he was sore. You get around 100 pitches and you've thrown maybe 50 or 60 in the bullpen the first game … I just think it's an amazing feat. Amazing."
On Vandy playing loose …
"Once we got through the first game (a 10-4 win over ISU), the kids loosened up. I felt the momentum was in our dugout. But it doesn't get that way unless you have a stopper on the mound. (Goodenow) clearly did that to a very good ball club."
On needing a special performance in the postseason …
"I just talked to the kids (Saturday) about how certain heroes are made this time of year. The most unlikely guys on the team sometimes step forward. Not that Richie's that type of guy because Richie is about as low-maintenance a kid as I've ever coached. He's like the most low-maintenance kid in the world. Richie is one of those kids who's always been ready to pitch. He's always ready to compete.
"They have very, very dangerous left-handed hitters, and I felt like he could neutralize those guys. And I felt like on the carpet (artificial turf), if he could sink the ball, then we could work the ball into the turf and it would slow the ball down and we could play some defense. He did that. And then he got his share of bottom-of-the-ball fly balls, too."
Richie Goodenow
On a five-run fifth inning giving him a big lead …
"It definitely helps when the offense gets it going. As pitchers, we always try to pitch like it's a 1-0 lead anyways, so it really didn't affect me."
On whether this was the best pitching performance of his life …
"I'm not quite sure about that. I just wanted to help my team win and we accomplished that."
Aaron Westlake
On homering off ISU righty Cam Verbeke in the first game, and delivering a two-out RBI single off Louisville lefty Bob Revesz in the second game …
"I was looking for a curveball from (Verbeke). They'd been showing a lot of offspeed pitches to me, and he kept coming with the fastball. He actually threw the first two or three right down the middle and I missed them. I figured he's just going to come after me. I put a good swing on it and it carried out.
"Against the lefty, I knew he was going to probably stay away with a slider, show a fastball and then go back with the slider away. He threw a slider and I was able to get it through the four hole.
"It's been a struggle this year, obviously, with lefties. They come in throwing the slider. But working with all the coaches, it's progressing. Now I take it on as a challenge. (I'm) more confident and comfortable every day with it."
Louisville assistant coach Chris Lemonis
On the Cardinals' struggles against Goodenow …
"He was just mixing it up, lot of sliders, lot of offspeed. Had us beating it into the ground, popping up the backside. He just pitched all day long, and he pitched behind in the counts. The 2-0's, 3-1's … we saw a lot of offspeed balls.
"We didn't make adjustments after we got behind early."

Pharmacy is the science concerned with therapeutic substances – their discovery, origin and nature, their development into medicines and their use in disease prevention and treatment. Pharmacy also denotes the profession which uses its unique knowledge of medicines in the service of society.
A career in pharmacy can be versatile and highly rewarding. Pharmacy graduates can choose to work mainly with people, by using their unique knowledge and skills in patient care. Pharmacists supply medicines, provide medicines, health information and advice, and help to manage long-term illness. Pharmacy graduates can also choose to focus mainly on products – pharmacists hold key responsibilities in the Malaysian pharmaceutical industry and are in constant demand. Skilled graduates are needed in clinical research, in formulation research and development, production, quality assurance, regulatory affairs and marketing.
"The role of pharmacist has evolved tremendously from just dispensing medicines to a prominent and crucial member in the integrated health care team. As a pharmacist, you are also responsible in providing patient centred care through the effective nad safe use of medicines. First launched in 2004, the BPharm (Hons) at IMU has grown to become a programme that prepares future pharmacists, who is knowledgeable, caring, competent and someone who is able to move forward with the ever changing healthcare system."
Dr Norman Chieng
Lecturer and Programme Coordinator
BPharm only: Credit transfer options to the University of Queensland, Australia and University of Otago, New Zealand*. * Students who choose to transfer to the University of Queensland and University of Otago are required to take a bridging course before joining the partner pharmacy schools

Jay Del Fierro
With each starry night,I chart the lines and listen,
touching every light,the brighten corset of Heaven,
shapely images...which awes inspired minds,
dazzles of greatness are a rarity too find...
Connecting dots,with each passing constellation,
refining thoughts from a vivid imagination,
as I sit in the middle of two oceans of space
glorious,yet termless,such a beauty too trace...
And as I search further,royal vestments are found,
with galactic choirs,as onlookers bound,
spiraled arms of enchanting sparkles
pinwheeled jewels spinning their particles...
Injecting manifesting space with starlit dust,
hot and cold elements,travel afar in trust,
beginning bonds of a future too cast
not all in the vastness is meant too last...
Inverting my perspective,viewing upon our Earth,
I question the concepts of purposeful worth,
Nation's full of cosmopolitan like galaxies
peopled with stardust...forming life's complexities...
Attitudes of human affairs,nefarious in part,
was it really,the apple,that began it's lawless start?

Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl Season 6 Speculation: What's the Story Behind This Picture of Rufus and Lily? (PHOTO)
We've already heard that Kelly Rutherford has a little crush on Matthew Settle, even though their Gossip Girl characters, Lily and Rufus, are estranged. To be honest, there's been so many rumors swirling about the two characters, we kind of don't know what to expect will happen this season.
First, Bart Bass went and showed that he was 1) alive and 2) still into Lily when we found out he wasn't dead at the end of last season. Then, we heard rumors that Rufus is going to be getting a little John Lennon on us with his former (sorta) relative, Ivy (which we still think is gross).
So, when Kelly tweeted this picture of herself with Matthew today, we didn't know what to make of it. Are Rufus and Lily going to be getting as close as the actors who play them? Has Matthew's support of Kelly in her custody battle just made the two super great friends? Or is there something more we don't know about (after all, Kelly's caption was simply "With Matthew <3")? So many questions, but they say a picture is worth a thousand words (or, at least, more than 140 characters).

Product Information
- Xtreme Customz XL Spider-Man from Ridemakerz
- Part of the Xtreme Customz brand
- We recommend this product for ages 4 and up
What It Is
The idea behind the Xtreme Customz line of toys is that you purchase a basic car, and then you can purchase additional pieces to create and customize any kind of car you can dream up. With the Xtreme Customz XL Spider-Man, kids can create and customize a car for their favorite superhero. Out of the box, this is a pretty basic 1:18-scale, free-wheeling, lightweight plastic car with Spider-Man decoration. Kids can customize it by snapping the tires on or off and changing the rims. Kids can also add the web shooters by sliding them into the slots on the underside of the car. To do anything else, you're going to have to buy additional pieces.
Is It Fun?
Ultimately, we weren't really sure whom this would be for. Naturally, it's for kids who like Spider-Man and vehicles, but the customization doesn't lend itself to traditional Spider-Man play. This may appeal most to kids who are interested in models and customization.
Who It's For
The Xtreme Customz XL Spider-Man kit is for Spider-Man and car fans ages 4 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
You'll want to purchase this car carefully. If you look at the picture on the back of the box, you might miss that all the different pieces shown are sold separately, though Ridemarkerz does show what the kit includes on the side of the box. The additional pieces aren't that expensive individually, but customizing pieces can add a good $10–$12 to the cost of the car.
You can also go online to Ridemakerz.com and build a car like this one or many others from the chassis up.

Mamie Fludd's roof is caving in – and a local leader is asking for the community's help to fix it.
Several months ago, Moncks Corner community activist Willie Powell made a plan to repaint the house of Fludd – but realized her roof needed to be replaced first. Powell knows this is a daunting project but he said it is possible with community support. He's been working on the project for two months.
There is a Mamie Fludd fund set up at the local True Value store, according to Powell. The fund is all set to replace Fludd's roof, but first Powell said he is searching for carpenters who would be willing to donate a day of their time to remove the damaged roof.
"The hardest part about this job is tearing the roof off," Powell said.
Fludd, 78, has lived in Moncks Corner since she was a little girl at the age of 6. The roof of her West End Drive home is caving in.
Until Friday, tree branches canopied over the roof, contributing to the problem. On Friday a crew from Brad's Tree Service cleared those branches. Berkeley Church of Christ paid for the limbs to be cut from above the roof.
"It's been years since I've seen the top of my house," Fludd said.
The tree limbs caused a lot of damage to the roof and didn't allow for much breathing room.
"I initially came here to paint a senior citizen's house," Powell said. "But the roof was caving in. I couldn't paint the house with a roof like that. I told her I would get it fixed. It's a major job. I told her I would make this happen."
"I'm real proud of what they're doing to help me," Fludd said. "Thanks to Willie 'Buck' Powell . . . without his help I'd never get nothing done.
"This project needed to be worked on a long time. No one seemed interested until he came to give help. I thank the good Lord for everything everybody is doing to help. God has always been my helper."

Lara (Bremer) Faucher - Class of 1996
I can still fondly remember sitting in Lyle Bierma's Doctrine class and just being so struck by how AMAZING God is—and though we were studying the theology of God, I was overwhelmed with the love, goodness and sense of order of our Creator. Professor Bierma was also obviously wowed by this and in love with it too...as it came out in his teaching. The same was true with all the professors.....Dr. Hertel and his passion for evangelism and teaching TRUTH, Dr. Kroeze and his love for the GOSPELS and the stories and details in them, Dr. Shell for his passion for Scripture memorization, and Pat Tichelaar for her love for literature. I always felt that, even in reading literature and studying children's classics, she always pointed to the GLORY of God—the great creator of ART. Oh, and I cannot forget Dr. Flikkema, who was passionate about getting us OUT there....and connected. And then, during my era, there was Ed Roels, the gentle shepherd among them all. Every professor at school was passionate about what they taught and was always ready to truly give God all the glory. And let's not forget June Ellison, who made the cafeteria not only a place to eat, but a place of grace and worship and constant recognition of how GREAT her God was! Finally, the student body! I simply loved the mix, the diversity. Every tribe and nation was truly reflected. And I felt like there was so much to learn from every one of them...to understand and to grow in grace. This too was awesome.
