Hutchinson is a hungry Stag
Posted: November 12, 2012|
MATCH-WINNER Ben Hutchinson was delighted to gun down Southport – and now wants to continue playing his part in adding an extra dimension to Mansfield Town.
The former Celtic and Middlesbrough forward has had a difficult time this season, finding himself out in the cold following an Achilles injury.
But, against Southport on Saturday, he started his third game in the space of a week.
The 24-year-old netted in the second minute and it proved to be enough to secure a 1-0 win.
Manager Paul Cox stated he was delighted to see Hutchinson hungry to succeed, after such a rollercoaster ride that has seen him go from local side Arnold to the Champions League and back to the Blue Square Premier in five years.
Hutchinson, who is hoping to line up against Slough in Stags' FA Cup first round replay tomorrow, told the Post: "It felt good. I am happy to be playing and more than happy for us to be winning.
"Three games in a week will benefit me. The more I play, the more consistent I will get.
"I have waited a long time, I have been patient and I hope to get a good run and stay in the team and add something that we didn't have before.
"I am never going to stop working hard to try to play. Everyone is fighting for positions so you have to make sure you do your job for the team."

2010 Geneva: 2011 Volvo S60 Aims to Keep Pedestrians Safe
The front end is too bleh for me. I really don't like the new Benz's.
Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder, and I think a case-and-a-half might have been a bit much for Rangerwalker.This thing was created by someone who thinks too highly of themselves- you know, a trouser stain.
The rear looks soooooo much like a BMW! :cool:
trunk lid taillight area looks a bit 5 series.
Who let the Hyundai into the MB stand?
This is actually a beautiful car! I do not like the new E-class so much so this is refreshing, especially for Mercedes.
I like it.I think Mercedes has to do something "new" style-wise. They're cars have become so blocky that they almost appear to be devolving when it comes to exterior design.This would be a nice change.

Presented M65 Regiment Jacket has an outer shell made of quality washed cotton with stylish vintage look and strongly water repellent properties (lotus effect).

The jacket fastens with a zipper and snaps, and features four front pockets, waist and bottom drawstrings, and a concealed hood in the collar. The long-sleeved liner features two chest pockets with zipper and bottom drawstring.
Ideal for all outdoor pursuits no matter the weather.
We recommend that you purchase a size down from your normal size to ensure that you get a good fitted look.
All the actual measurements given on the site as "armpit to armpit x 2" refer to the measurements of the garment and not the size it will fit.
The best way of checking if an item will fit is to measure a similar garment you have which fits well and compare the measurements.
When we give the "Armpit to armpit x 2" on an item it is measured directly at the top of the side seams (armpit to armpit) laid flat, then the measurement is doubled, giving the circumference.
If we state that an item is labelled "to fit xx" / XXcm" please check this against your own measurements.
At Military 1st we want you to be completely satisfied every time you shop with us. Occasionally though, we know you may want to return items.
We are more than happy for you to return any of our goods for a refund of the item price within 30 days of receipt, as long as, they are in resellable condition with any packaging and labels intact. You must contact us by email at email@example.com within 30 days of the item being delivered. So feel free to try any of our fantastic range available with our no quibble, no question returns policy.
You the customer will be responsible for the cost of returning the item to us. It can be shipped back via a service of your choice although we do recommend a secure trackable method that requires a signature on delivery.

State Releases Final Report on Environmental Impact of Tappan Zee Bridge
New York has just released the final environmental impact statement for its new Tappan Zee Bridge. It includes innovative measures to protect fish and people during the construction of a big new bridge in the New York suburbs.
A new report on the environmental impact of the Tappan Zee Bridge says residents will be able to go online to check noise and air quality monitors. It says excessive noise has to be stopped an hour after it's reported.
The report says pile driving will generally be prohibited between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.
It says an underwater "curtain" of bubbles will be used to minimize the acoustic effect of pile driving on fish. Dredging will be limited to avoid peak migration and spawning.
The bridge is to replace the aging, overused span that now crosses the Hudson River between Westchester and Rockland counties.

There are several differences. Some are obvious – like the date. We won't spoil the fun for you. How many other differences can you spot in the pictures?

Really good, and free, card tonight on FS1. Who you got? Bader or St. Preux, Maynard or Pearson?
I'm looking forward to it.
OSP should have this. Bader has been exposed as a 1 dimensional wrassler with a fairly big right hand, OSP is too well rounded.
Maynard vs Pearson is interesting. If Maynard plays it safe and wrassles Pearson, it will should be an easy win. If he tries to stand, its anybodies fight.

In my last blog entry, I outlined a brief history of basic writing and outlined several questions that have been on the table in our first year writing program. Let's get to work on the first question: How do we redress the imperfect educational system of remediation within an imperfect educational system of the United States? Okay, so I'm answering my blog's title question with another question.
First, remedial writing programs takes different shapes at two- or four-year colleges, and Masters- or PhD- granting universities. The difference rests primarily in the background and needs of students enrolled in these classes. Students entering community colleges may be immigrants with varied educational history, first generation students whose training in U.S. schools didn't prepare them for college, high school drop outs, returning adults, and lifelong learners. Though writing classes in two-year colleges often have the goal of preparing students to succeed in advanced writing classes, a recent study of 100,000 two-year college students in urban areas suggests that these efforts could better focus on writing needed in workplaces. In two-year colleges, these programs have come into question because of their cost, qualified success, and educational goals: why prepare students to write for advanced, college writing classes when the students' intent is to find jobs in the skilled labor market?
Students seeking degrees beyond the Associate's degree often place in remedial classes after taking an entrance exam. These students have high school diplomas, are the best students to have graduated from their schools, have histories of academic achievement, and may be international or heritage language speakers. Many graduated from the K-12 education in the US system, which has seen educational goals limited to teaching to the test thanks to Bush era educational policies. Small wonder there's been alarming increase in numbers of students needing remedial writing classes.
All this focus on the student who needs the kinds of educational opportunities an intensive writing course prevents policy makers and program administrators from turning our attention to "fixing" the student. This focus on the student places the onus to change solely on the students. But let's also consider teachers, teacher trainers, and the institution of schooling. Now, I'm not saying that K-12 teachers are to blame for underprepared students. If we want to address the problem systematically as a country, we need educational reform in K-12 settings that 1) increases the number of qualified teachers in classrooms, 2) equally provides resources to schools, 3) allows for varied forms of writing assignments and not just those appropriate to score well on tests (5 paragraph essays), and 4) we need to respect teachers and train them well to meet the challenges of schooling. There are more ways to reform, of course, but these would be a good place to start.
We think there's another place to begin this work as well—the place where future teachers and professors get trained, or not, to do their educational work in the first place. How are our preservice teachers and instructors of first generation students trained to build upon students' knowledge and learning as they interact with content? What can we do better?
At MSU, we want to do our part in contributing to educational reform by refocusing our efforts on training future teachers and university instructors. Instead of focusing on what students' lack, we're focusing on what we as teachers and teacher trainers owe to students. We think there's systemic reproduction of teachers who were taught the content areas of their disciplines, but haven't learned how to teach students this content.
So we did what universities and policy makers do. We set up a committee. The Preparation for College Writing Sub-Committee of the First Year Writing committee created two innovations in our preparatory classes that we're now piloting. First, we hoped to better address the curricular needs of our students through asset-based, culturally sustaining pedagogies; and second, we hoped to promote teacher inquiry and innovation by placing preservice teachers in our writing classes. The idea is that these preservice teachers can act as peer mentors and teachers-in-training at once, while the instructors gain an opportunity to innovate their practice through engaging these preservice teachers in reflective practice. The preservice teachers work with the instructor to engage in activities and classroom work around the rich reading and writing assignments of a college writing class, that they in turn can use in their future high school classrooms. I'll explore findings from this pilot project in my next blog posting.

Every post I have written on here so far has been about something going on in our city. This time I decided to write about a special journey I embarked on while on vacation in Puerto Rico. I am glad that I had this opportunity to journey to El Yunque with my dad. It is one of those father-son bonding experiences I will treasure forever.
Last week my dad and I visited a very special place. We took a journey through El Yunque in Puerto Rico. If you have not been to El Yunque before, I suggest that you take a trip there soon. El Yunque is one of our nation's greatest treasurers.
El Yunque is the United States of America's only tropical rainforest. El Yunque is 28,000 acres and it has been a part of the United States National Forest system for over a century. El Yunque is located in northeastern Puerto Rico and is located on the slopes of the Sierra de Luquillo Mountains. El Yunque actually receives over 200 inches of rain a year in some parts.
El Yunque is home to 13 species of the Coqui frogs, and is home to the Elfin-woods Warbler & the Puerto Rican Amazon. The Elfin-woods Warbler is a bird that was actually first discovered in El Yunque. The Puerto Rican Amazon is a beautiful green parrot which is on the endangered species list. Our tour guide said that there are only about 900 Puerto Rican Amazon's left in the wild.
Our journey to El Yunque started at our hotel. We paid about $60 each to join about a dozen or so people in a small air conditioned bus. Our tour guide was a native Puerto Rican who had been giving tours of El Yunque for about nine years. It took about an hour to get from our hotel on Isle Verde beach to El Yunque. Our first stop at El Yunque was La Coca Falls. When we arrived at La Coca Falls I turned to my dad and said that this place reminded me of Jurassic Park. My dad and I actually climbed up to the top of the little falls which was a few hundred feet off the ground.
Our second stop was to one of the trails at El Yunque. We walked around for about 45 minutes through the rainforest. The views were incredible. After exploring the rainforest we made it to our finals top which was Yokahu Tower. Yokahu Tower is an observation post at 1,575 feet up the mountain. After walking the 98 steps to the top of the tower, we were amazed by the views. I had never seen anything more beautiful in my entire life. Being a New York City guy all my life, you don't see this type of natural beauty every day.
Every year about 600,000 people visit El Yunque. I encourage everyone to visit there at some point in your lifetime. El Yunque is a magical place and it is one that we must protect. El Yunque like other rainforest are in constant battle with human encroachment. I am confident that El Yunque will be preserved for decades to come.
This was a journey that my dad and I embarked on together. We developed so many memories that will last a lifetime. We never know when the journey ends, so we have to make as many memories while we can. If you have an opportunity to make a similar journey with your parents do so! I promise you won't forget it.

Each year, the Alumni Board approves funds to help cover the costs of the ORU "Faculty Advance," held in August.
In the 1990s, the Alumni Foundation was asked to fund the purchase of Bibles for all graduating seniors and graduate students. These Bibles, signed by the president of ORU, are given to graduates on Commencement Day.
At their February 2000 meeting, the Alumni Association Board voted to fund awards for outstanding faculty members. The goal of this program is:
The award categories are:
Teaching/Christian Worldview
Mentor/Service Learning
Student Engagement
Alumni Relations
Deans, department chairpersons, and the University Faculty Assembly choose the recipients of the awards; $2,500 is divided among those recipients. The first presentations were made on November 20, 2000.
An additional $2,500 in Alumni Association funds has been earmarked for these awards, which were presented for the first time on "Employee Appreciation Day," May 12, 2000.
Cash awards are given to ORU staff members who have provided outstanding customer service, simplified processes, demonstrated problem-solving skills, or contributed cost-saving ideas during the previous twelve months.

This week FINRA announced Stoltmann Law Offices tagged Chicago based brokerage firm William Blair and Co. for $1.2 million. The case involved a classic case of the financial exploitation of the elderly. The firm and its advisors defrauded our 90 year old client out of over $1 million by trading her account and creating a bogus email account to cover up their fraudulent conduct. The Chicago Daily Herald did a wonderful story on the case below.
As baby boomers continue to age, we expect to see cases involving the financial exploitation of the elderly to skyrocket. Claims involving fraud, conversion, unsuitable investment recommendations and uauthorized trading are at near record highs this year and we expect this trend to continue over the next 10 years.

Inverness widow wins $1.1 million in lawsuit against brokerage firm
By Anna Marie Kukec Daily Herald Staff
Published: 11/18/2009 12:02 AM Updated: 11/18/2009 12:20 AM
A 90-year-old self-made millionaire won about $1.1 million from a Chicago brokerage firm and two brokers accused of churning her longtime stock account.
Josephine DesParte, of Inverness, won the case arbitrated through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, known as FINRA, the organization that oversees brokerage firms nationwide. The panel decided that DesParte should recover her stock losses of $655,146, all capital gains taxes paid by the liquidation of long-held stocks of $380,000, and the return of $82,719 in fees that the brokers had charged. Attorney fees and punitive damages were not awarded, according to a FINRA document late Monday.
"I'm happy. I just wanted what I lost," DesParte said Tuesday. "And that's what I got. I didn't pursue punitive damages. I didn't care about that."
DesParte's lawyer filed the complaint earlier this year against William Blair & Co. LLC, which was accused of breach of fiduciary duty. William Blair's spokesman declined to comment. The two brokers, William H. Ross and Brian L. Kasal, have since joined another brokerage firm in Chicago and did not immediately return phone calls. The lawyer representing William Blair and the two brokers, Phillip M. Goldberg of Foley & Lardner LLP, declined to comment.
The FINRA document said the company and the brokers denied the allegations and denied they violated any laws.
FINRA also ordered William Blair and both brokers to pay about $8,400 in fees related to the hearings. They have 30 days to pay the award to DesParte, unless they decide to challenge it in federal or state court, according to FINRA documents.
"I think this was a clear case of elder abuse," said DesParte's attorney Andrew Stoltmann of Barrington Hills. "The firm and its brokers were caught with their hand in the cookie jar and they were hit hard. It is a victory for the financially abused. The financial exploitation of the elderly is extremely prevalent and serious. As baby boomers get older, this problem will increase dramatically."
DesParte, a former administrative assistant for some area companies, never earned a college degree and instead taught herself how to invest. She and her salesman husband, Tom, eventually became worth millions of dollars. He died in 2004.
In late 2007 when she was 88, DesParte handed over the management of her portfolio - including stock in three companies she held tightly for about 50 years - to her longtime broker and his boss at William Blair. Within months, according to the complaint she filed, the widow lost about $1.4 million - all before the stock market crashed last year.
She discovered through her tax accountant that William Blair amassed thousands of dollars in fees and capital gains taxes. She also complained that William Blair sent her monthly statements to a Yahoo e-mail address established in her name, although she had never owned or used a computer in her life. She then stopped the churning of her portfolio, changed brokerage firms and hired an attorney.
The brokers' monthly statements and confirmations would have been the only way DesParte would have known her account was being churned. But those statements were sitting in cyberspace, a place where she never went and didn't know anything about, Stoltmann had said.
Stoltmann said people must double-check the activity in their accounts.
"If a client has been taken advantage of, legal options exist and many times the losses can be recovered," Stoltmann said.

ABSTRACT: Behavioral assessment of stereotypic behavior under various environmental conditions led to the development of an effective, teacher-implemented intervention for a student with profound mental retardation. Stereotypy and leisure material manipulation were assessed in a combination multiple schedule and withdrawal design under four conditions: (a) low access to leisure materials, (b) easy access to leisure materials with no instruction, (c) easy access to leisure materials with average paced instructions, and (d) easy access to materials with fast paced instructions. Stereotypy was lowest and material manipulation was highest with easy access to leisure materials and instructions. No distinction was observed between average and fast paced instructions. The effective and practical intervention package (easy access and average paced instructions) was replicated across conditions.

The first observance of Earth Day in 1970 brought demonstrations for a healthier and more sustainable environment all over the U.S. Since then, Earth Day helped pave the way for the passage of the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts. Today, Earth Day is not only credited for launching the modern environmental movement, but it has also grown into the largest civic observance in the world.
But you don't have to take on a monumental project to contribute to Earth day. Every little step towards bettering our environment counts. If you're in need of a starting point, below are a few easy ways to take part in helping keep the Earth clean and healthy for all.
Pick 5 for Your Environment – The Environmental Protection Agency encourages selecting at least five simple steps you can take to contribute to protecting the environment. A few examples include using only enough water for your needs to reduce water consumption, planting a tree to positively impact air quality, and selecting energy-saving appliances.
Recycle – Recycling is a great way to get involved with Earth Day. Start in your home by designating separate containers for recyclable items like aluminum, glass, paper, and plastic so you can separate them from the rest of your trash. Also, if you live in a neighborhood with trash pick-up services, check to see if recycling services are also available.
Start Composting – Composting is an eco-friendly way to dispose of food scraps, yard waste, and other items and that would otherwise be placed in a landfill where they can release greenhouse gases. Compost offers the benefits of soil enrichment, reduces your carbon footprint, and decreases the need for chemical fertilizers.
Clean Up Litter – It may seem like a miniscule task, picking up litter along the road, at the park, or around a stream in your neighborhood makes a big dent in keeping pollutants out of the water. It also helps keep the environment beautiful!
We are doing our part, too! Hickory Farms is not only committed to offering delicious gourmet food products, but we are also committed to the environment and to becoming a better corporate citizen. Our packaging materials are made from 100 percent recycled materials using Sustainable Forestry Practices (for every tree that is harvest, another is planted!).
Our catalogs are also printed with recycled paper that's acid-free and produced using wind-generated electricity. In addition to this, our facility is constantly working on new ways to conserve resources, recycling not only paper but also cans, plastic bottles, computer monitors, and light bulbs.
How are celebrating Earth Day and committing to a cleaner, healthier environment? Leave a comment to share with us or post your thoughts on the Hickory Farms Facebook page.

Because of the high frequency of negativity and overall "my class/race/faction sucks" (both for IRL and ingame issues) across all boards, I have reverted to primarily lurking and only posting when I need help. I'm hoping this can be fixed, but if I don't do this, I will likely end up depressed and disgusted with humanity as a whole.
Don't think Ryme was arguing that those numbers justify using Vanish - having the numbers does make it a more constructive debate though.

I notice you're left with a monk tank quite often - Taking the Expose Armor glyph could be worth taking
To the point about vanish, rogues have the strongest personal CD's.
If you die after popping feint, either a) everyone died and it's a wipe or b) someone else f'd up, and chances are you vanishing will only get others killed regardless.
I think vanish is a viable CD and it'll only get stronger with prep
Everything looked fine, you did let rupture drop on the first add when he was below 10%, which is not a huge deal, i tend to refresh mainly for the energy regen when it dies, especially since you're not going to be able to redirect the CPs off of him since you already used it when he spawned. Aside from that my only complaint about this video is that you have mind numbing poisons on, which will make your casters hate you in p2 when you break them out of MC. No need for a secondary poison on this fight at all, still makes me feel weird, though, not having one
Aside from that rupture uptimes and cp management were good from what i saw.
To other arguements, mutilate outside of hero and shadowblades is an extremely slow spec, so pooling is just fine, I tend to wait for mutilate until I get either a dancing steel/trinket proc or or am reaching 100 energy, then i try to keep envenom uptime up for the duration. Mutilate is very simple, try to only do muti's/dispatch when under envenom and pool energy (without capping) for procs. The procs thing is much less important but its something you can do in the copious amounts of downtime you'll have with the spec.
I have allways wondered if it's not worth energy pooling up to 95-100 energy before a 5 cp envenom (only if you dont have a dispatch proc ready). Depending on the number of Venomous Wounds procs this will usualy allow a third use of mutilate during the envenom buff. In case a dispatch proc is ready to go before a 5 cp envenom, that wold translate into pooling 85-90 energy before useing dispatch and then useing mutilate 3 times before the envenom buff ends. While trying this i was in no danger of energy caping.
Ofc this shold not be done during Bloodlust. My haste rateing while trying this was 2406 (5.66%).
Not saying the way you play is wrong but i see Mut to be the relaxing spec where you really dont need to be spamming buttons as much and where as combat spamming is the only way. So i understand where someone watching that video can say how your excessive button mashing is not needed but its not bad that you are mashing.
Imo the way your play you might have more fun playing combat.
Smashing your keyboard is nearly always a dps increase, just because of server-client lag - I think I get the point people are making, though, with so much pooling going on, is it as important?
Video from Kripp explains a bit better (about 2 mins in), also still holds a lot of useful info despite being quite old now:
I am the lucid dream
Uulwi ifis halahs gag erh'ongg w'ssh
Whoa, I even use that exact keyboard. +1 internets?
Kripp has since then revised his standpoint on the matter - instead of spamming, he uses keyboard macros to spam for him when clicked once, for a fixed period of time. It doesn't exactly comply with the EULA, but theoretically it's better.

A new study related to videogames and addiction is out and the results are rather interesting for the average gamer. The study, which was conducted by the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists Congress, shows that one in 12 gamers or about 8% of those who play videogames are showing signs of addiction. Interestingly, the study acknowledges that videogame addiction does not exists per se but that it is an expression of deeper issues with some of the persons involved in the study.
Vladan Starcevic, who is an associate producer on the study, stated that "Their whole lives revolve around this activity and there certainly seems to be a problem there - there is an addiction. And it seems to us that these people seem to ... have other mental health issues, and it seems excessive video game playing is a manifestation of these underlying problems."
Those with gaming addictions were said to be socially isolated, had a big risk of being depressed and had a bigger chance of engaging into compulsive behavior. Apparently, they play a lot more than other gamers and prefer MMOs.
The bad news is that the above description could replace "basement dweller" as the stereotypical description of the average gamer. The good news is that 92% of those playing videogames are considered to be normal.
Another recent study, which was conducted at the Iowa State University by Professor Douglas Gentile, financed by the Institute on Media and the Family, put the number of gamers that were addicted at 8.5%.
After the release of the study, a number of sources, like ABC News and Doctor Cheryl Olson from Harvard, questioned it because of the fact that the participants were not selected at random but rather through an online panel that promised material rewards to those who took part in the study, creating an issue with the credibility of the results.

By Jessica Ravitz
Around the world, people are still struggling to come to terms with the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, which have left more than 8,000 dead, thousands more missing and hundreds of thousand others homeless. In times like these, many people find comfort in their faith. But disasters can also challenge long-held beliefs. The CNN Belief Blog asked some prominent voices with different views on religion how they make sense of such suffering, where they see inspiration amid destruction and how they respond to people who wonder, "How could God let this happen?"

Belief in the Brain: Sacred and secular ideas engage identical areas
By Allison Bond
Religious belief may seem to be a unique psychological experience, but a growing body of research shows that thinking about religion is no different from thinking about secular things—at least from the standpoint of the brain. In the first imaging study to compare religious and nonreligious thoughts, evaluating the truth of either type of statement was found to involve the same regions of the brain.
Heaven and Nature
By Ross Douthat
Richard Dawkins has called pantheism "a sexed-up atheism." (He means that as a compliment.) Sam Harris concluded his polemic "The End of Faith" by rhapsodizing about the mystical experiences available from immersion in "the roiling mystery of the world."
Atheists need a different voice
By Stephen Prothero
We all know the names (Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens) of those angry white men who tend to antagonize the world's believers. But the most persuasive voices for the 'new New Atheism' tend to be women.
The Anti-God Squad
BY Robert Wright
Why even some of the most zealous non-believers may abandon the crusade against religion.
The Religious Wars
By Nicholas D. Kristof
Just a few years ago, it seemed curious that an omniscient, omnipotent God wouldn't smite tormentors like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris. They all published best-selling books excoriating religion and practically inviting lightning bolts.

A report summarizing the study is published today in PLoS ONE.
Out, Out, Damned Atheists
By Lisa Miller
The Case for God, which comes out this month, is Armstrong's 19th book, and it rides the crest of a wave of books meant to dismantle the arguments of the atheists Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Richard Dawkins.
The Myth Of A Moderate Malaysia
By Sadanand Dhume
In America, the so-called new atheists—most prominently Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins—don't need to think twice about ridiculing religious beliefs or savaging the most powerful priest or pastor. But in Malaysia, as elsewhere, secular liberals tend to tip-toe around Muslim religious sensibilities.
God in the Quad
By James Wood
In recent years, a resurgent evangelical Christianity has been contested by a resurgent atheism. For Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Christopher Hitchens, among others, the God most worth fighting against seems to be a hybrid of a cheaply understood Old Testament, a prejudicially scanned Koran, and the sentimentalities of contemporary evangelicalism.
Fighting for Francis: Faith, reason, and the NIH nominee.

In opinion pieces, scientists Sam Harris and Steven Pinker express strong reservations about the ascension of Collins to this office.
All quiet on the God front
By Simon Blackburn
Simon Blackburn discusses the argument that religious experience can't be discussed
God and Science Don't Mix
By Lawrence M. Krauss
My practice as a scientist is atheistic. That is to say, when I set up an experiment I assume that no god, angel or devil is going to interfere with its course; and this assumption has been justified by such success as I have achieved in my professional career. I should therefore be intellectually dishonest if I were not also atheistic in the affairs of the world.
Let's Talk About God
By Lisa Miller
The atheist writers Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens have presented us with a choice: either you don't believe in God or you're a dope.
How much reason do you want?
By Philip Ball
The 'war' between science and religion is stuck in a rut. Can we change the record now, asks Philip Ball?
Atheists: No God, no reason, just whining
By Charlotte Allen
Superstar atheists are motivated by anger—and boohoo victimhood.
[Harris' Note: This is, without a doubt, one of the most embarrassingly stupid attacks on the "new atheists" to be published in a major newspaper.]
Light at the end of religion's dark tunnel
By Andrew Sullivan
Faith is growing ever more extreme but a new book on the evolution of God gives Andrew Sullivan hope
Church-Shopping: Why Do Americans Change Faiths?
By Amy Sullivan
Forty-three years ago, this magazine published a stark cover with the words "IS GOD DEAD?" stamped in red against an inky black background. The accompanying article predicted that secularization, science and urbanization would eliminate the need for religious belief and institutions before long. In modern society, only the weak and uneducated would persist in their faith. Yet rumors of religion's demise turned out to be premature. Over the last few years, neo-atheists like Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens have taken up the cry again, encouraged by studies showing that the percentage of Americans who report no religious affiliation has more than doubled since 1990. But as a new report from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life shows, it is a mistake to conclude that more Americans are rejecting religion. Leaving church, it turns out, doesn't mean losing faith.
Only Words: Liberalism, Past and Future
By George Scialabba
William F. Buckley Jr., if I recall correctly, once declared wearily that he was determined not to read another book vindicating liberalism or reflecting on its prospects until his grandmother wrote one. Old Billzebub may have been right, for once: liberals do seem peculiarly given to anxious self-examination and self-justification. Still, an uneasy conscience is better than no conscience, which has been the general rule among conservatives since 1980 at least. So let us attend, even if a little wearily, while Alan Wolfe and Jedediah Purdy examine contemporary liberalism's entrails and peer into its future.
The End of Philosophy
By David Brooks
...It challenges the new atheists, who see themselves involved in a war of reason against faith and who have an unwarranted faith in the power of pure reason and in the purity of their own reasoning.
The Editor's Desk
By Jon Meacham
Reports of the death of the religious right or about the high hopes of the religious left are familiar, but something deeper and more fundamental (so to speak) than a tactical repositioning is going on at the moment. Christianity is not depleted or dying; it remains a vibrant force in the lives of billions. Only a fool or an ideologue would say otherwise. There is, however, a sense among believers and nonbelievers that America is less Christian than it has been, and may even be moving into a post-Christian phase.
Honest to Jesus
By Jennifer Schessler
A few weeks ahead of the Easter bunny, Bart Ehrman is back on the hardcover nonfiction list with "Jesus, Interrupted: Revealing the Hidden Contradictions in the Bible (And Why We Don't Know About Them)," which enters at No. 8. Back in 2006, Ehrman, a professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, had a surprise hit with "Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible (and Why)," which spent nine weeks on the list. Ehrman — who grew up casually Episcopalian, became a fundamentalist in high school, had his faith eroded by decades of studying the Bible's textual history and now calls himself a "happy agnostic" — seems to be riding the same anti-religion wave that has swept Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens onto the best-seller list and late-night talk shows. But he says that while they share some readers, he tries to distance himself from the so-called new atheists.

Science and faith: the conflict
By Richard Gray
Brain-scanning experiments carried out by scientists last week revealed that religious faith is embedded deep within key parts of the brain. This suggests that belief in a higher power evolved at some early point in human history.
The New Atheism, and Something More
By Peter Steinfels
If the label "new atheists" has been accorded to a fistful of polemicists who set out to counter in-your-face religion with in-your-face atheism, then Ronald Aronson must qualify as something different: a new new atheist perhaps.
Former Archbishop of Canterbury: atheists use 9/11 as excuse to attack all religions
By Martin Beckford
Atheists have used the terrorist outrages of September 11 as an excuse to attack all religions, according to the former Archbishop of Canterbury.

For Atheists, Politics Proves to Be a Lonely Endeavor
By Samule G. Freedman
From the time last spring that Jeanette Norman first heard of Amendment 48 in Colorado, she simmered with the desire to do something about it.
Conservative Christians and their allies had collected more than 100,000 signatures to put the measure on the Nov. 4 ballot. If enacted, it would define human life as beginning at the moment of conception, essentially turning abortion into murder without the need of overturning the Supreme Court's ruling in Roe v. Wade.
A Problem of Persuasion
By Damon Linker
If Bill Maher and his fellow "new atheists" want to be effective, they need to stop preaching to the choir.

When I read Sunday evening in the Wall Street Journal that Barack Obama was "unaware" until last summer that the U. S. spied on thirty-five world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, I was frankly stupefied. (Well, maybe not entirely stupefied, but at least semi-stunned.)
No wonder Obamacare and practically everything else from foreign policy to energy policy is an unmitigated mess. This president and his administration have taken hands-off leadership and leading from behind to unprecedented levels.
What exactly does our president do for a living? What're we paying him for?
Either the administration officials who leaked this information to the WSJ are lying or Barack Obama should be impeached.
Forget "high crimes and misdemeanors." For those you have to do something and be conscious. Barack Obama should be impeached for cluelessness.
He was in the White House for an entire term and many months more without knowing what his biggest intelligence agency was doing to thirty-five of the most important people on Earth? Chance the Gardener from Jerzy Kosinki's Being There lives — and he lives on Pennsylvania Avenue at our expense. It's not fiction anymore. (Well, there is one difference. Chance was kind of sweet and passive while Obama is vindictive.)
From the WSJ:
The National Security Agency ended a program used to spy on German Chancellor Angela Merkel and a number of other world leaders after an internal Obama administration review started this summer revealed to the White House the existence of the operations, U.S. officials said.
Officials said the internal review turned up NSA monitoring of some 35 world leaders, in the U.S. government's first public acknowledgment that the U.S. government tapped the phones of world leaders. European leaders have joined international outrage over revelations of U.S. surveillance of Ms. Merkel's phone and of NSA's monitoring of telephone call data in France.
The White House cut off some monitoring programs after learning of them, including the one tracking Ms. Merkel and some other world leaders, a senior U.S. official said. Other programs have been slated for termination but haven't been phased out completely yet, officials said.
The account suggests President Barack Obama went nearly five years without knowing his own spies were bugging the phones of world leaders. Officials said the NSA has so many eavesdropping operations under way that it wouldn't have been practical to brief him on all of them.
[itals mine]
Not practical to brief him on spying on Angela Merkel, et al? Do you believe that? If it's true, it's worse. The president is so incurious he might as well be playing golf all the time.

My daughter is 21 years old and has Down Syndrome and hearing loss. She has been a patient of Dr. Curry's for 21 years. My sons also saw Dr. Curry when they were younger. All three had myringotomy procedures and got along very well. Dr. Curry kept us informed about the most suitable hearing devices available for our daughter. Michelle and Linda, the clinic staff, are terrific. They've been so friendly and helpful whenever we called. We are very fortunate to have Dr. Curry and his fine, professional ENT Clinic.

Dr. Phillip Curry is a superb ENT Specialist. Since he is the best in his field, his popularity causes his patients to endure very lengthy waiting lists. Believe me, his knowledge, experience, professionalism and caring personality is well worth the long wait for an appointment.

ATHENS - Jason Haniger and Charlie Blackmon each had three hits and two RBIs, leading Georgia Tech past Louisville 8-5 Friday at the NCAA Athens regional.The Yellow Jackets (40-19) won on the same day the Atlanta medical examiner issued a report showing pitcher Michael Hutts died from an accidental heroin overdose last month. The team managed to put that grim news aside for a few hours and advanced to the winner's bracket for a game against surprising Lipscomb today. The upstart Bisons knocked off host Georgia in the regional opener. The Bulldogs will face Louisville in an elimination game today. The Big East champion Cardinals (41-20) came into the NCAAs on quite a roll, having won 25 of 31 games. But their season is one loss from being done despite Justin McClanahan's two homers. Georgia Tech manufactured a run in the first. Blackmon led off with a walk, moved to second on a wild pitch, stole third and came home on Luke Murton's sacrifice fly. Blackmon was in the middle of things again in the second as the Yellow Jackets pushed across another run after two outs. Haniger and Patrick Long hit back-to-back singles, and Chris House walked to load the bases. Blackmon singled sharply to right, driving in a run, but Stewart James easily threw out Long at the plate to end the inning. Lipscomb's power display stuns host Georgia 10-7 ATHENS - Ryan Wilkins hit one of three homers to help NCAA tournament newcomer Lipscomb stun host Georgia 10-7 in the Athens regional Friday. The Bisons, who finished third in the Atlantic Sun but got in by winning their conference tournament in a 15-inning title game, showed they belonged by beating up on the champions of the powerful Southeastern Conference. Wilkins hit a two-run homer to cap a four-run fifth inning that broke the game open for Lipscomb (33-28). Caleb Joseph and Blake Bratcher also went deep for the Bisons. Georgia (35-22-1) lost for the fifth time in six games and now faces an elimination game against Louisville. The Bulldogs tried to rally in the eighth. They closed to 9-7 on star Gordon Beckham's run-scoring single and had the potential tying runs on base, but side-arming reliever Kyle Tognazzini ended the threat by getting cleanup hitter Rich Poythress on an inning-ending double play. The Bisons added a run in the top of the ninth, and Tognazzini set the Bulldogs down 1-2-3 in the ninth for his fourth save. A small contingent of Lipscomb fans cheered wildly after the final out, while stunned Georgia fans filed quietly out of Foley Field. Joseph homered off Stephen Dodson (5-4) in the first, but Georgia appeared to seize control with four runs in the bottom half - all of them unearned. Bratcher's two-run homer in the third tied the game at 4, and Lipscomb poured it on in the fifth. Bratcher got it going with an RBI single, Justin Sanders, a former Rockdale County High School player, drove home another run with a groundout and Wilkins finished off Dodson with his two-run shot over the left-field wall.

Omaha, NE -- Parents are challenging the state's truancy law and how it can harm families. They brought up concerns at a town hall meeting Thursday night with the OPS Board and other elected leaders. The Excessive Absenteeism Law took effect in 2009. It makes missing more than 20 days of school a crime, even if it's excused- like during extended illnesses. Some parents say it has a negative impact on minorities and the poor.

Information About the Area from our Experts
Crime & Safety
Darren Praderio - Real Estate Agent
The crime rate at SWLaw is very low. In the past few years, there have only been a couple burglaries on-campus, and on public property near the school, a couple stolen cars, and one arrest. The neighborhood near Koreatown/Westlake/Rampart Village where the campus is located is also pretty safe. Thefts are really the only crime that occurs in this area.
Local Events
Darren Praderio - Real Estate Agent
With the amount of actors, artists, musicians, writers, dancers and sports teams that LA has, there is no shortage of shows, galleries, games, and events to attend on a regular basis. There are an incredible number festivals here each year, too. There are music festivals, like the Annual Central Avenue Jazz Festival, the Grand Performances Summer Festival, Summer Concerts at the Grove, and more. There are food festivals too, like Drink Eat Play, and LA Winefest, and many ethnic festivals such as the Lotus Festival, Cuban Music Festival, Oktoberfest, Nisei Week, Dia de Los Muertos, and so many more. There are car shows, film festivals, major sporting events, parades, holiday celebrations... there's always something to throw a party for in LA.

World leaders' plea for Gaddafi
Leaders of countries from all-over the globe are demanding Muammer
Gaddafi to step down as Libya's leader, amid global intensifying
efforts to end the country's bloodshed.
As the fights escalate near the Libyan capital, Tripoli, German
chancellor Angela Merkel said that it is "high time" for Colonel
Gaddafi to depart, and called for new UN Security Council sanctions
as a sign of international resolve. Merkel's call was echoed by US
President Barack Obama, as well as UK Prime Minister David Cameron
citing Col Gaddafi should "go now", and adding that "There is no
future for a Libya that includes him".
En route to meetings with other foreign ministers at the UN Human
Rights Council in the Swiss city of Geneva, US secretary of state
Hillary Clinton said, "We are just at the beginning of what will
follow Gaddafi", but first we have to see the end of his regime
with no further violence and bloodshed, she added.
However, John McCain, the former Republican presidential candidate,
called for Washington to do more, including setting up a no-fly
zone. He warned that the repercussions of the Middle East
revolution are costing hundreds of lives, as well as a global
economic impact, as the world showcased a staggering high of crude
oil price to nearly $120 a barrel last week. "The question is how
many people are going to be massacred between now and when he
leaves?", he said.
Moreover, the US and its allies shared a unanimous vote on Libya,
which Ms Merkel hailed as "a clear signal to Gaddafi and other
despots, that human rights violations will not go unpunished". The
vote ordered all UN member states to freeze the assets of the
Libyan leader, his daughter and four of his sons. His
children and another 10 key members of the regime are banned from
travelling outside the country.
After 11 hours of negotiations on Saturday the council referred the
crisis in Libya to the prosecutor of the International Criminal
In addition, the European Union is also expected to approve its own
measures later today, which would take effect midweek.

1098-T Information
The Tax Relief Act (TRA) of 1997 requires eligible educational institutions to provide a statement to the IRS and to students who enrolled in credit courses and have a reportable transaction during each calendar year. UCC provides this information to the IRS electronically and to students on a 1098-T form.
The 1098-T provides the amounts billed to you for qualified tuition and related expenses, amounts you received for scholarships and grants, and prior year adjustments. Please, note, UCC reports the amounts billed to you for qualified tuition and related expenses on the 1098-T and not the amount you paid during the calendar year. Students must use their own records about tuition and fees amounts paid during the year in addition to the information on the 1098-T to determine if they qualify for certain education tax credits.
The IRS defines qualified tuition and related expenses as tuition and fees a student must pay to be enrolled at or attend an eligible education institution.
UCC does not furnish 1098-T forms if:
- Scholarships and grants equal or exceed qualified charges billed
- Student is a nonresident alien (unless requested by the student)
- Student only registered for non-credit courses
- Student's qualified charges billed are waived or paid through third party billing arrangements
Umpqua Community College is transitioning to the electronic delivery of student 1098T forms with full implementation starting with 2015 1098T forms. IRS regulations state that each student who wishes to receive their 1098T electronically must also provide his/her consent electronically:
- Go to Student Self Service.
- If you are logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to review and accept Terms of Usage where you will be consenting to electronic delivery of the student 1098T form. Your consent will be in effect unless you revoke it.
As a courtesy to students, 2014 1098T forms will be mailed even though you might have provided an electronic consent to UCC. Umpqua Community College has contracted with General Dynamics Informational Technology, Inc (formerly Vangent, Inc.) to provide both the electronic and paper 1098-T forms. As part of this service you have access to your 1098-T electronically through Vangent's TRA website.
Instructions for retrieving your 1098-T electronically through Vangent's TRA website
Important Information
- Mailing Date: 1098-T's will be mailed by January 31. Forms might not reach you until sometime after that date.
- Mailing Address: The 1098-T form will be mailed to your most recent mailing address on record at the time of printing.
- Online Information: If you did not receive a 1098-T, you may view a detailed representation on UCC's Student Account site.
Directions for Electronic 1098-T:
- Log in
- Click on Student and Financial Aid
- Click on Student Records
- Click on Tax Notification
- Enter the four digit year to view
- Click Submit
- Tax Advice: UCC and Vangent cannot determine if you qualify for an education tax credit and are not allowed to give you tax advice. Please read the instructions on your 1098-T form or contact a tax professional to assist you. You may refer to IRS Publication 970 on Tax benefits for Education and IRS Form 8863.
For additional information contact the IRS at 1-800-829-1040.

How to Be in a Dove Real Women Campaign
Dove Wants You to Be in Its Latest Ad Campaign
Like us on Facebook
This isn't the first time we've seen a consumer call to action from a beauty brand. Bare Escentuals, you might recall, blindly cast its Fall campaign. Also in 2011, Lady Gaga asked her little monsters and Viva Glam lovers to submit self-portraits to potentially be featured on a masterpiece of a gown to help raise awareness for AIDS/HIV. With Dove's latest offering, however, the living ad campaign is all-encompassing in who will be spotlighted, although probably not all-encompassing. We're assuming nudity filters will be utilized in some way.

With a bill before Congress that aims to establish a 22-week cutoff for abortion procedures in the U.S. – as well as a high-profile debate in Texas over similar legislation – the public discussion over late term abortion limits has escalated into extremism, with passions on both sides fueling hyperbolic language.
But a survey of abortion laws in other Western countries reveals that, even if Congress were to make abortions beyond 22 weeks illegal, the U.S. would still be one of the developed world's most abortion-friendly Nations.
