Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2015 Ram 1500 Regular Cab
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.9
The mpg war has finally reached the full-size truck market, and the 2013 Ram 1500 is on the front lines. Armed with advanced fuel-saving features, including an available engine stop-start system, 8-speed automatic transmission and electronic air suspension, the new Ram 1500 mixes a measure of practicality with full-size utility. The new 305-horsepower V6 engine is powerful enough to tow up to 6,500 pounds, and yet capable of delivering a class-leading 25-mpg rating on the highway. In order to effectively challenge the Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota Tundra and Ford's best-selling F-150, the 2013 Ram 1500 can also be had with the Chrysler Group's state-of-the-art Uconnect Access infotainment system. Simply put, Ram has raised the stakes with its new 1500 series pickup.
If you've been searching for a rugged full-size truck that packs the latest in in-vehicle entertainment along with best-in-class fuel economy, the 2013 Ram 1500 should be at the top of your list.
Every modern full-size truck on the market can handle virtually anything you throw at it. So if durability and towing power are your chief requirements in a full-size pickup, choose your favorite brand and schedule a test drive.
To the casual observer, the new-for-2013 Ram 1500 might look like a carryover from last year. Under the skin, however, the 1500 series offers a new fuel-efficient Pentastar V6 engine, 8-speed automatic gearbox, multi-mode air suspension, next-generation Uconnect infotainment system and a host of supplementary fuel-saving technologies.
Driving Impressions The new Ram 1500 takes the old automotive epithet of "drives like a truck" and transforms it into a compliment. While ideal for towing, most pickups employ a less-forgiving leaf-spring...rear suspension setup. The Ram 1500, on the other hand, utilizes a coil-spring rear suspension to provide a high level of comfort with or without a heavy load. The difference in ride quality between the coil-spring configuration and the available air suspension is minimal, but the pneumatic system's multiple ride heights aid fuel economy, load-in height, ingress/egress and ground clearance for extreme off-road situations. Power from the new Pentastar V6 is adequate, but if you plan to tow over 5,000 pounds we suggest opting for the torque-rich HEMI V8. Outward visibility is surprisingly good in most directions, though a bit of road and wind noise does penetrate the cabin while cruising at highway speeds.
High technology doesn't need to be highly complicated. Case in point, the Ram 1500's available Uconnect Access is perhaps the most intuitive full-featured infotainment system on the market. From its enormous 8.4-inch touch screen to its conversational voice-recognition software, Uconnect Access is the new benchmark in vehicle connectivity.
A versatile full-size pickup needs a versatile suspension system, which is why the 2013 Ram 1500 offers electronically-controlled air suspension. With the push of a button, ride height can be lowered for ease- of-access to the cabin and cargo bed or raised for up to 10.7 inches of ground clearance.
Like the majority of contemporary Chrysler products, the 2013 Ram 1500 features higher quality materials and tighter panel gaps throughout the cabin. Since the standard front seats lack sufficient support for long drives, we recommend trading up to the optional 10-way power driver's seat. Rear-seat legroom is ample in quad cab configuration, while crew cabs equipped with the regular 6' 4" box offer an additional six inches of legroom without sacrificing bed length. Located within the center gauge cluster is a newly-offered 7-inch Multiview information screen, which displays nearly 350 digital readouts to help keep drivers aware of pertinent vehicle information.Exterior
The new Ram 1500's exterior benefits from a handful of subtle cosmetic enhancements, including restyled headlamps with LED turn signals, a new grille and LED taillights. In addition, the entire wheel lineup is new this year. The 2013 Ram 1500 series will continue to offer the entry-level Tradesman model, which has on-the-job steel wheels, vinyl flooring and vinyl-trimmed seats. A longer cab comprised of large rear doors helps distinguish crew cabs from quad cab models, while every 1500 variant offers the brand's exclusive Rambox cargo management system in the rear fenders.
The 2013 Ram 1500 is available in a multitude of body styles, bed lengths and trims. Unlike the Toyota Tundra, the base Ram 1500 includes automatic headlight control, a removable/locking tailgate, cruise control and a USB port for portable music devices. The popular Sport model adds a retuned dual exhaust system, unique styling cues and massive 22-inch forged alloy wheels. Standard safety gear includes six airbags, all of the electronic stability aids one reasonably expects from a 2013 model-year vehicle and a hill-start assist feature designed to help prevent the truck from rolling backward when starting off on a steep incline.
With almost two dozen packages to choose from, the 2013 Ram 1500 can be custom-tailored to suit your individual requirements. The most enticing option on the menu is unquestionably the new Uconnect Access infotainment system with its 8.4-inch touch screen and user-friendly interface. Additional options include a heated steering wheel, 10-way power driver's seat, rain-sensing windshield wipers, 115V household power outlet, air suspension and an engine stop-start system to help save fuel when idling. Since the steering wheel does not offer a telescoping function, taller drivers should consider adding the power-adjustable pedals.
The previously-optional 4.7-liter V8 is now standard issue on the Ram 1500. The new Pentastar V6 delivers 42 percent more horsepower and 20 percent better fuel economy than the outgoing 3.7-liter V6, while the current HEMI V8 gets a 5-horsepower bump thanks to the addition of electric power steering. The class-exclusive 8-speed automatic transmission can be matched with both the 3.6-liter V6 and the HEMI V8.
3.6-liter V6

"I traded in my 2005 Dakota for a 2015 Ram Quad Cab with 4WD and have been very happy so far. Great ride and smooth drivetrain(Hemi w/8spd) and getting 18-19.5 mpg vs. the Dakota's 15-16.5 mpg on the same route. I tried the competition(Ford, Chevy/GMC) before deciding on the Ram. The Ram's drivetrain just felt more refined and the ride more comfortable and quiet. I would recommend running boards since the truck sits quite high (especially when compared to the Dakota)."

"RAM as a stand alone brand happened in 2013. Fiat has improved much about all of Chrysler made brands and RAM is no exception. The 8 speed ZF transmission is a huge advancement in improving MPG along with the Pentastar 3.6 V-6 engine. True mpg are 19 to 23 depending on the time of year. Typical city driving is 19 and open road 23 and on occasion with good wind conditions 24 to 25 mpg. That's not bad for a truck with honest real mpg. Measuring mpg is strange how different truck brands come up with such high unachievable mpg for the average buyer. I think to advertise the RAM 3.6 for 25 mpg consistantly is very unrealistic. The RAM we have is overall a good decent truck. Fit and finish along with the quality of materials is a better quality than most cars. Everything works as it should. The only exception is the cheap Goodyear Wrangler passenger tires. They are made only for paved city roads and passenger cars NOT trucks. The UConnect audio system is excellent. The Hands Free Phone is very good and works even better than the phone by it's self. The CD player is tucked under the center folding seat at the bottom and is VERY difficult to reach and being a single disc it is not worth $ 150. The remote start is worth every penny, In summer and winter is a wonderful addition. The plane SLT truck has very cheap seats and few electronic additions, so the BIG HORM is well worth the extra cost for creature comforts as well a better truck all around. One thing to keep in mind the 2016 RAM comes with only a 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. 2015 is the last for the 100,000 powertrain warranty not only for the RAM but for most all light duty 1500 trucks. Is the RAM the best truck? here are some facts I found out. Fords cost less to insure and have a excellent safety record. But the turbos may have issues. Chevy and GMC hold their value better, have good safety ratings, weigh more, mpg is less than RAM or Ford. RAM looses resale value faster than the Ford or Chevy or GMC. RAM cost the most to insure. RAM has the smoothest ride, the better base 8 speed Automatic transmission. The best MPG, but that's the diesel engine which cost more than $ 4,200. over the Hemi V-8. To recup that extra cost may take more than 200,000 miles. I think it's unfair to allow RAM to compete in mpg with other truck brands gasoline engines. It's not apples to apples. Diesels cost much more to maintain, but do generally last longer. RAM puts the V 6 diesel in 20% of the 1500 trucks to meet the CAFE requirements. Finally most all truck buyers are brand loyal, and know before they even go out to look for a truck what brand they want to buy, just like me."

Functional characterization of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase and caffeic acid O-methyltransferase in Brachypodium distachyon

Lignin is a significant barrier in the conversion of plant biomass to bioethanol. Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) and caffeic acid O-methyltransferase (COMT) catalyze key steps in the pathway of lignin monomer biosynthesis. Brown midrib mutants in Zea mays and Sorghum bicolor with impaired CAD or COMT activity have attracted considerable agronomic interest for their altered lignin composition and improved digestibility. Here, we identified and functionally characterized candidate genes encoding CAD and COMT enzymes in the grass model species Brachypodium distachyon with the aim of improving crops for efficient biofuel production.
We developed transgenic plants overexpressing artificial microRNA designed to silence BdCAD1 or BdCOMT4. Both transgenes caused altered flowering time and increased stem count and weight. Downregulation of BdCAD1 caused a leaf brown midrib phenotype, the first time this phenotype has been observed in a C3 plant. While acetyl bromide soluble lignin measurements were equivalent in BdCAD1 downregulated and control plants, histochemical staining and thioacidolysis indicated a decrease in lignin syringyl units and reduced syringyl/guaiacyl ratio in the transgenic plants. BdCOMT4 downregulated plants exhibited a reduction in total lignin content and decreased Maule staining of syringyl units in stem. Ethanol yield by microbial fermentation was enhanced in amiR-cad1-8 plants.
These results have elucidated two key genes in the lignin biosynthetic pathway in B. distachyon that, when perturbed, may result in greater stem biomass yield and bioconversion efficiency.

NATO Kills Six Children in Afghanistan Air Strike
Bombing in Kunar Province Killed Children Collecting Scrap Metal
In the wake of an attack on an apparent Taliban attack on a police station in the Kunar Province, NATO warplanes bombed a group of small children between the ages of 6-12, killing six of them and wounding one other.
The children were collecting scrap metal on a nearby mountain. There were apparently no Taliban at the site of the attack, according to local police. NATO said it was "aware" of the reports and is investigating.
The attack is the latest in a growing number of air strikes by NATO troops which have killed civilians in recent days. Last weekend a pair of strikes in Farah and Jowzjan Provinces killed three civilians and three police, respectively. NATO is still investigating those killings as well.
The apparent escalation of such incidents since Gen. David Petraeus took over command in Afghanistan points to a shift toward a more reckless policy, which threatens to further fuel anti-occupation sentiments in Afghanistan.

An easy prediction: no one from Obama on down will be held accountable for this absurd use of airpower against helpless civilians.
Imagine for a moment how you'd feel seeing your child being obliterated by 500lb bombs. Might you be a tad bit upset? Heck, you might even be tempted to join an insurgency to rid your country of an illegal military occupation.
The absurd "war on terror" will never end with idiotic policies like this.
Seems the only hearts and minds the Pentagon/Nato are interested in are the ones they can splatter.
Didn't they execute Nazi war criminals for this kind of stuff? Oh yea, they lost their immoral, unjustified and aggressive war and they were convicted of war crimes. But when there is no one moral enough and strong enough to bring the guilty to justice, they literally get away with murder. God forbid it.
Imagine this. You are wlaking down the street and see a child lying bleeding in the middle of the road. Your buddy rushes over to help the child and is blown up by the IED attached to its body. You never feel the same about children again. This is what is happening to our troops EVERY DAY. Now I am not condoning bombing innocent civilians, but I also do not condone calling troops baby killers. Grow up and learn the facts.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Schizophrenia may blur the boundary between internal and external realities by overactivating a brain system that is involved in self-reflection, and thus causing an exaggerated focus on self, a new MIT and Harvard brain imaging study has found.
The traditional view of schizophrenia is that the disturbed thoughts, perceptions and emotions that characterize the disease are caused by disconnections among the brain regions that control these different functions.
But this study, appearing Jan. 19 in the advance online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that schizophrenia also involves an excess of connectivity between the so-called default brain regions, which are involved in self-reflection and become active when we are thinking about nothing in particular, or thinking about ourselves.
"People normally suppress this default system when they perform challenging tasks, but we found that patients with schizophrenia don't do this," said John D. Gabrieli, a professor in the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT and one of the study's 13 authors. "We think this could help to explain the cognitive and psychological symptoms of schizophrenia."
Gabrieli added that he hopes the research might lead to ways of predicting or monitoring individual patients' response to treatments for this mental illness, which occurs in about 1 percent of the population.
Schizophrenia has a strong genetic component, and first-degree relatives of patients (who share half their genes) are 10 times more likely to develop the disease than the general population. The identities of these genes and how they affect the brain are largely unknown.
The researchers thus studied three carefully matched groups of 13 subjects each: schizophrenia patients, nonpsychotic first-degree relatives of patients and healthy controls. They selected patients who were recently diagnosed, so that di

MARANA, Ariz. (AP) — The most fickle part of the Match Play Championship for Louis Oosthuizen was his nagging back injury.
His luck ran out Saturday when he felt pain in his back while warming up on the range. When he first tried to hit a draw on the par-5 second hole, it got even worse. And one point, he was on his back on the 13th tee as his trainer tried to stretch him out.

That was a very monumental time. The issue that we were dealing with, that A Patch of Blue was addressing, was interracial relationships: a very sensitive, important issue—how America was viewing those relationships, what solutions were being put forth. Looking back, with all of the good intentions, we find ourselves approaching the new millennium with the same problems. They haven't been resolved.
A Patch of Blue was addressing racism through the metaphor of being without sight—being without sight. Then, in society, we find those who are blinded by sight. Because what they see is so important. It's what they base their decisions on. They either accept or don't accept on the basis o f what they see. Minus the sight, it would be a different story. Different perception, a different view.
I remember the date as quite a challenge. I don't think there was any music there to refer to. Or if there was, we didn't necessarily follow it. There was an understanding who would begin each piece and who would solo on it, and so forth. But that was it. The album was called Impressions of "A Patch of Blue," and that's what they were—improvisational impressions.

Exactly as

I was using the phrase 'near-exponential' as a non-literal qualifier to argue that science is progressing at a remarkable rate. Apologies, as I did not realize this would cause you so much confusion. The claim that we are more literate than we have ever been is not dubious, unless you can demonstrate a point in history when a greater percentage of the world's population could read. Can you do so?
I asked for objective measures of the claimed devolution of society. In asking I was hoping to specifically demonstrate that by using the entirely subjective (art and music) as evidence, your stance is unsupportable. I never claimed that art and music were improving in some objective quality, only that, as
noted, there has always been good and bad, and that it is a very near-sighted and silly position indeed to pronounce the decline of civilization based on one's own distaste towards new music. This position also belies a huge amount of egotism, as you must presume to have knowledge of all the art and music out there, and further presume that you're own opinion of it is more valid than other people's.
Again, we are more scientifically advanced than ever before, and our science and technology are inarguably progressing. We are more literate than ever before. You have admitted that the quality of art and music is subjective and so cannot be used as objective evidence to support your position. So, do you have objective evidence of the decline of culture? And can you possibly provide it without being rude?
The Enterprise is my TARDIS.

South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung has lately been rumored to plan various new devices, with some appealing new smartphones set to arrive on shelves with high-end capabilities packed inside, and some new details on the company's future roadmap are now available.
Apparently, the vendor is considering a change in the letter code used for new handsets and tablets, and might adopt "SM" for them, instead of "GT," which is currently used in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America, at least this is what a recent report from SamMobile claims.
While no specific details on what SM would stand for have been provided, the news site notes that new tablet PCs will have a letter code of their own, namely SM-T.
The new letter codes should join the already available GT, SC, SCH, SGH, SPH, SHV, and SHW pretty soon, starting with the next generation of tablet PCs from the company.

1 Now these are the words of the book#tn Or "letter" or "scroll" (so NAB). So also in v. 14. See J. Lust et al., Lexicon of the Septuagint, 1:80. that Baruch#sn The name Baruch in Hebrew means "blessed." Baruch is described in the Hebrew Bible as an associate and secretary of the prophet Jeremiah. He is mentioned in three major sections in the Book of Jeremiah. First, it was Baruch who copied down the prophecies of Jeremiah and read them before the people. When the king subsequently burned the scroll and sought to apprehend both Jeremiah and Baruch, the two of them hid and rewrote the scroll (Jer 36:4-12; 45:1-2). Second, Baruch was involved in helping Jeremiah in the redemption of Hanamel's field (Jer 32:12-16). Finally, Baruch is mentioned along with Jeremiah as being taken by those who fled to Egypt contrary to Jeremiah's counsel to remain in the land (Jer 43:3-6; cf. Josephus Ant. 10.9.6). wrote in#tc The Syriac Peshitta has lbbyl ("to Babylon"), which would imply that the author's location at the time of writing was somewhere outside of Babylon. The Greek text locates the author in Babylon at the time of writing. (Since the Leiden edition of the Syriac text of Baruch is not yet available, references to the Syriac text of Baruch will be based on the Lee edition.) Babylon. This Baruch was the son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah, son of Zedekiah, son of Hasadiah, son of Hilkiah.#tn In the Greek text v. 1 is part of a single sentence that continues to the end of v. 2. In the translation this single sentence has been broken into three sentences for the sake of clarity. The words "This Baruch was" and "he wrote this" are not in the Greek text but have been added for readability in the translation. 2 He wrote this in the fifth year, on the seventh day of the month,#tc A number of scholars suspect that a numeral is missing before "month," since the statement as it stands is ambiguous. Moore, for example, inserts "fifth" before "month" and argues that the letter was written in 581 B.C., five years to the very day after Jerusalem's destruction by the forces of Nebuchadnezzar (cf. 2 Kgs 25:8). See C. A. Moore, The Additions, AB 44, 269. However, there is no textual support for this emendation. Moreover, as Moore points out, if the emendation is accepted there is then a contradiction with Jer 52:12, which indicates that the temple was burned on the tenth day, not the seventh. There is also a problem with harmonizing this statement with the following section of Baruch, where the temple seems to still be functioning (Bar 1:7, 10, 14; 2:16). In the translation of v. 2 presented above we have therefore refrained from emending the Greek text, although the interpretive problems should not go unnoticed. at the time that the Chaldeans overthrew#tn Or "took." Jerusalem and set it on fire.#tn Grk "set it on fire with fire."
3 Baruch read the words of this book in the hearing#tn Grk "ears." The expression "to read in the ears of" means to read aloud. Cf. 2 Kgs 23:2; 2 Chr 34:30. of Jeconiah#sn Jeconiah is an alternate name for Jehoiachin (cf. 2 Kgs 24:15; Jer 24:1; 27:20; 28:4; 29:2; Esth 2:6; Add Esth 11:4; 1 Chr 3:16-17; Matt 1:11-12). Jehoiachin was also called Coniah (Jer 22:24, 28; 37:1). the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and in the hearing of all the people who were coming to hear#tn The word "hear" is not in the Greek text but has been added in the translation for clarity. the book 4 (that is,#tn The words "that is" are not in the Greek text but have been added in the translation for clarity. So also in v. 8. in the hearing of the powerful#tn Or "influential." So also in v. 9. and the royal descendents,#tn Grk "sons of the kings." These are not just the sons of Jeconiah, who is mentioned in v. 3, but other royal figures as well. The expression might be translated "princes" (so RSV, NRSV) or "royal princes" (so Knox) or "children of royal families" (so TEV). in the hearing of the elders, and in the hearing of all the people, from the lowly to the prominent,#tn Grk "from small to big." all those who were residing in Babylon by the river Sud#tc The location of this river is uncertain, and it is possible that the text is corrupt at this point. Moore, following J. A. Bewer, emends the name of the river from Sud to Ahava, suggesting that the Greek word soud is a mistake for eoua written in uncial script. However, as Moore points out, 4QpJer has sur, which makes the emendation more unlikely. See C. A. Moore, The Additions, AB 44, 270.).
5 They were weeping, fasting, and praying before the Lord. 6 They also collected money,#tn Grk "silver." So also in v. 10. according to the ability#tn Grk "just as the hand of each one was able." The expression is a Hebraism. of each one to give. 7 They sent this money#tn The words "this money" are not in the Greek text but have been added in the translation for clarity. to Jerusalem, to the priest#tn This mention of "the priest," followed by a reference to "the priests," is a bit confusing. Presumably what is meant is that the collection was entrusted to one priest who is specifically named in v. 7 and to other priests who are not named in this context. However, some scholars (cf. KJV, Knox, TEV, RSV, NRSV) understand the first reference to be to the high priest in particular, in which case the word "priest" is used in a pregnant sense. The Greek word hirea normally means "priest" and not "high priest." Jehoiakim the son of Hilkiah, son of Shallum, and to the other#tn The word "other" is not in the Greek text but has been added in the translation for clarity. priests and to all the people who were#tn Grk "were found." with him in Jerusalem. 8 At that time, on the tenth of Sivan Baruch#tn Grk "he." The antecedent of the pronoun is ambiguous. Presumably "he" refers to Baruch (so TEV, RSV, NRSV), although Knox (in a note attached to his translation) objects that the syntactical distance is too great to permit this linkage. That the pronoun refers to Jehoiakim does not seem likely. took the vessels of the temple#tn Grk "house." So also in 2:16, 26. of the Lord which had been brought from the temple so that he might return them to the land of Judah (that is, those silver vessels that Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, had made#sn The Old Testament makes no mention of Zedekiah's manufacturing vessels for the temple. This statement is either a historical blunder, or it presupposes a situation otherwise unmentioned in which the temple vessels had been removed from the Jerusalem temple by the Babylonians in an earlier deportation and had to be remade under Zedekiah's direction. 9 after Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had removed#tn Or "carried away." Jeconiah, the rulers, the prisoners, the powerful, and the people of the land#sn The reference to "people of the land" apparently has in mind average common citizens, who in terms of social standing can be contrasted to the more powerful or influential strata of society. This expression has a diverse usage in Old Testament and postbiblical literature. In rabbinic literature the expression עַם הָאָרֶץ eventually became a pejorative expression used to describe those who were less zealous for their religion than they should have been, at least in the opinion of the rabbis. But the precise meaning of this expression in the Old Testament is disputed. Nicholson discusses the following interpretations of עַם הָאָרֶץ in the Hebrew Bible: (1) the expression designates a rural population as opposed to an urban one; (2) it refers to what was the equivalent of an ancient two-tier Hebrew parliament; (3) it refers to a group that consisted of the lay population as distinguished from the ruling elite; (4) it refers to the landed aristocracy of the population; (5) it was used in reference to the poorest commoners of the society; (6) it designated a group that consisted of property owning citizens who led the country politically, economically, or militarily. It is this latter view that, according to Nicholson, is the one most widely accepted. These views all share the belief that עַם הָאָרֶץ is a technical term for designating a particular societal group that was a subset of the general population. Nicholson, however, has questioned this assumption, maintaining that ". . . the term has no fixed and rigid meaning but is used rather in a purely general and fluid manner and varies in meaning from context to context." See E. W. Nicholson, "The Meaning of the Expression עם הארץ in the Old Testament," JSS 10 (1965): 66. See also the following discussions: S. Daiches, "The Meaning of עם הארץ in the Old Testament," JTS 30 (1929): 245-49; M. Sulzberger, The Am Ha-Aretz, The Ancient Hebrew Parliament: A Chapter in the Constitutional History of Ancient Israel (Philadelphia: Julius H. Greenstone, 1909); M. Sulzberger, "The Polity of the Ancient Hebrews," JQR 3 (1912–1913): 1-81; E. Würthwein, Der 'amm ha'arez im Alten Testament, BWAT, ed. A. Alt and G.

De Vaux's article has an especially helpful bibliography of prior research dealing with this expression. from Jerusalem and had brought them#tc Some manuscripts have "him." to Babylon).
10 They said, "Look, we have sent money to you. Purchase with the money whole burnt offerings, sin offerings, and incense.#tn Or "frankincense" (so Douay, NAB). See J. Lust et al., Lexicon of the Septuagint, 2:281. Prepare a grain offering#tn The Greek word manaa is a loanword from the Hebrew minhah ("offering"), which usually refers to a grain-offering. and offer it on the altar of the Lord our God. 11 Pray for the life of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and for the life of Belshazzar his son,#sn Presumably "son" is used here in the more general sense of descendent rather than in the sense of immediate offspring, since Belshazzar was not a son of Nebuchadnezzar in the strict sense. Moore, however, insists on a strict understanding of the word, concluding that we have "a serious anachronism here" (C. A. Moore, The Additions, AB 44, 273). But this does not seem to be a necessary conclusion. that their days on earth may be like the days of heaven.#sn The expression is hyperbolic, referring to an endless extension of life for these rulers. 12 The Lord will give us strength and illumine our eyes. We will live under the shadow of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and under the shadow of Belshazzar his son, and we will serve them for many days and find favor before them. 13 Pray for us to the Lord our God, because we have sinned against the Lord our God. The anger of the Lord and his wrath have not turned from us till this very day. 14 You will read this book that we have sent you, thereby making your confession#tn The syntactical function of the infinitive exagoreusai ("to make confession") is difficult to determine. The infinitive could be taken to indicate purpose for the verb "sent," but more likely it is epexegetical for the verb "read," explaining what a proper reading of the book amounts to in this context. in the temple of the Lord on the feast days and at the appointed times.#tc The Syriac Peshitta has wbywmth dmry' ("and on the days of the Lord"). As Moore points out, this is a misreading of kairou ("season") for kyriou ("Lord"). See C. A. Moore, The Additions, AB 44, 274.
A Prayer of Confession#sn There are numerous similarities between the prayers of confession (Bar 1:15-3:8) and the prayer recorded in Dan 9:4-19.
15 "You will say, 'Righteousness#tn Or perhaps "vindication." belongs to the Lord our God, but shame of face belongs to us today#sn On the wording of this phrase cf. Dan 9:7 and Ezra 9:7.—to every individual#tn Grk "man." of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, 16 to our kings, to our rulers, to our priests, to our prophets, and to our ancestors.#tn Grk "fathers." So also in vv. 19, 20; 2:6, 19, 21, 24, 33, 34; 3:5, 7, 8. It is, however, possible that the word retains its normal sense of "fathers" in v. 16, since a reference to familial leaders would not be out of place in this context. 17 We all#tn Grk "who." The relative pronoun here is odd. Moore may be correct in thinking that the Greek hon is due to a mistranslation of the Hebrew asher, which can function as a causal conjunction or as a relative pronoun. In that case the Greek translator has opted for the relative pronoun when he should have preferred the causal idea (hoti in Greek, "because"). have sinned before the Lord 18 and disobeyed him. We have not listened to the voice of the Lord our God, to walk#tn Grk "go." in the Lord's commandments which he laid out#tn Grk "gave." before us.#tn Grk "according to our face." 19 From the day that the Lord brought our ancestors out of the land of Egypt till this very day we have been disobedient to the Lord our God.

Glen Margaret, Nova Scotia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glen Margaret is a rural community of the Halifax Regional Municipality in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia on the Chebucto Peninsula. It was first inhabited by the Mi'kmaq who spent their summers along the coast to catch a fresh supply of fish. The first overseas settlers arrived during the late 18th century and by the early 19th century a number of land grants attracted permanent residents.
Today, the community is the home of a number of creative persons such as artists, publishers and authors.

Vero Beach Sports Village awarded $7,000 grant
VERO BEACH — Florida Sports has awarded Vero Beach Sports Village a $7,000 grant to help offset the costs of running its College and High School Baseball Spring Training, but it is a nominal reward for the economic impact the program has on the local community.
Florida Sports, a division of Enterprise Florida, Inc., awarded nine grants totaling $91,000 this quarter in an effort to provide financial assistance to sporting events that bring business to communities around the state.
The spring training program at VBSV, which began mid-March and ends April 22, is expected to provide a $3.8 million boost to the local economy. More than 100 teams from 23 states and Canada were scheduled to play 800 games over the six-week period on the very same fields the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers trained on for 60 years. More than 5,700 out-of-state athletes and spectators are expected to attend, many of them staying in local hotels.
"Based on the business we are bringing in from Canada, all over the United States and even from other parts of Florida, we applied for a grant and were awarded it based on the high volume of business we are dispersing to the local economy," VBSV Vice President Craig Callan said. "Just look at the restaurants that are filled. It's more of an impact than it was with the Dodgers."
This year's event features more than 30 teams than last year. Holman Stadium already has hosted 100 games, compared to the 15 games the Dodgers used to play there, and hundreds more have been played on the back fields of the facility.
This week alone, about 10 teams are staying in local hotels, Callan said.
"Florida Sports has assisted several extended spring training events like the one the Vero Beach Sports Village is currently hosting," Florida Sports director of communications Nick Gandy said. "The Vero Beach Sports Village has plenty of first-class and tradition-rich facilities to host such an event and Florida Sports salutes its effort to accommodate the high school and college baseball players participating."
The grant covers just a small portion of the estimated $500,000 internal expenses it takes to run the spring training program, according to Callan.
Teams pay about $450 per person for lodging and meals, meaning each team staying and eating on-site spends almost $10,000 to attend.
"Our internal expenses for this month are probably close to half a million dollars, so will (the grant) impact greatly? No. Is it welcome? Yes," Callan said.

Two scientific publications report on improved methods for determining the amounts of flavanol antioxidants in cocoa and chocolate. The research, sponsored by The Hershey Center for Health and Nutrition, was a collaboration between scientists at The Hershey Company and other scientific laboratories.
Scientists at Planta Analytica (Danbury, CT) isolated and separated cocoa flavanol antioxidants on a large scale. The Hershey scientists and collaborating scientists at the Pennsylvania State University-M.S. Hershey Medical Center (Hershey, PA) teamed up to determine the purity of these flavanols by HPLC and by Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectroscopy. The isolated compounds were then used as standards in the determination of flavanol cocoa antioxidants in a cocoa powder and a dark chocolate.
"We believe this represents the first large scale purification of standards for flavanol antioxidant determination" said Dr. Jeffrey Hurst of the Hershey Center for Health and Nutrition. "Prior to this, only dimers were commercially available. With a full series of standards, our flavanol determinations are not only more accurate, but the values are much higher, between 40% to 100% higher, than previously published methods using proprietary standards." This also means that standards are commercially available to various laboratories. This collaborative work was published in the online journal
In other research published in the Journal Association of Official Analytical Chemists, scientists from The Hershey Company and Brunswick Laboratories (Newton, MA) reported on the development of a new method for determining total procyanidins. This method is a colorimetric test based on the specific reaction of dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMAC) with flavanols. The method measures flavanol monomers, including EGCG, as well as higher flavanol polymers. The method which is standardized using a commerciall

And I only watched like 10 before my IQ started to drop, so whatever.
There's no humor. It's just lots of random shit thrown together. It's funny because it's stupid.

Pain Management and Bioelectric Therapy
In this article
What Are the Side Effects of Bioelectric Therapy?
In rare cases, skin irritation and redness can occur under the electrodes during bioelectric therapy.
How Often Should I Get Bioelectric Therapy?
The number of bioelectric therapy sessions required depends on each person's condition and response to treatment. One bioelectric therapy session does not usually result in pain relief. Therapy usually begins with about five sessions in one week, followed by three treatments per week. A normal course of treatment includes 16 to 20 treatments.
How Do I Prepare for Bioelectric Therapy?
If you are taking insulin or blood-thinning medications, your doctor may give you specific instructions to follow before getting bioelectric therapy.
You may be asked to fast before the procedure, and you may need to make arrangements for someone to drive you home after treatment.

Army marches through NU

Talk about it in The Main Board
And that's just the way the Black Knights like it.
The Wildcats had no answer for Army's precision-based triple-option, which gouged the Wildcats for 381 rushing yards and enabled the Black Knights to hold the ball for more than 40 minutes.
It was fitting that Trent Steelman scored the game-winning touchdown for Army with 2:49 left. Although the quarterback threw for just six yards, he dominated play by running 28 times for 108 yards and all three Army scores.
Northwestern (2-1) had a brief glimmer of hope in the fourth quarter, when coach Pat Fitzgerald pulled quarterback Kain Colter, who was effective running (57 yards on 10 carries) but overthrew several receivers and finished just 12-of-23 passing for 89 yards and one touchdown.
While many expected Fitzgerald to insert senior Dan Persa, who was listed as questionable and had yet to play this season, he instead went with redshirt freshman Trevor Siemian, who saw his first collegiate action last week.
Siemian made Fitzgerald look like a genius initially. He completed his first three throws, the last one a short slant to Jeremy Ebert that the receiver turned into a 62-yard touchdown to tie the score at 14 with 6:03 left.
But, as had been the case all day, Army (1-2) took possession and went on a long, clock-bleeding drive for the winning score. The Black Knights called nine straight runs, with Steelman punching it in on the last one to give them the final margin.
Northwestern had less than three minutes left and no timeouts when they took possession on their own 40, and the situation proved to be a little more than Siemian could handle this time. He completed an 18-yard pass to Ebert for a first down, but he also took a sack, and his final throw, on fourth-and-1 at the Army 33, fell well short of his intended target.
Siemian finished 5-of-7 passing for 105 yards.
Army scored on its first drive of the game to take a 7-0 lead on a 17-yard gallop by Steelman. The 18-play, 81-yard march ate 8:48 off the game clock and seemed to set the tone for the entire game.
Northwestern answered in the second quarter with a 14-yard Colter TD pass to Ebert, who made a leaping grab in the end zone.
Army, though, took control again with its first drive of the second half, seizing a 14-7 lead on a one-yard run by Steelman.
Ebert finished with six catches for 108 yards for the Wildcats.
The loss was just Northwestern's second in its last 16 non-conference games.

It's just past a full year since our Minton renovation project ended, and I thought it'd be fun to do a retrospective review of how the new home has been since it's now lived-in for a year. Most things and design decisions have worked very well – surprisingly! – but there's been a couple of others that with the benefit of hindsight, haven't worked as well. Long post, so split into a couple of parts – and starting off with the things that have worked well.
Fans: One big difference between our old Rivervale home against our Minton place now is in our type of fans. Our current place is already a little more airy than the Rivervale one – though this is also seasonal – but after the frequent tripping over of electrical cables lying about on the floor from standing fans in our old home, we went all-out for ceiling fans in the Minton a year ago. The Crestar fans in the Living, Master and Children's rooms are still working as well as they did when first installed and providing plenty of air circulation. The Fanco 36″ in the Workroom remains under-powered – a mistake in choice back then that's necessitate turning on the air-conditioning a little more frequently there just to keep things comfortable in the room. The fans do occasionally make a bit more din when our part-time cleaners clean the fan-blades, but they're not causing enough ruckus at this point to bother us – thankfully!
Clotheslines: A year ago we were wondering if this was way-overkill to install eight ceiling clotheslines in the yard balcony on top of the clothes rack we got from Ikea, but they have turned out to be tremendously useful, given the amount of laundry we do. We also realized how lucky we were to have purchased a unit with a yard balcony of decent length which could be our dedicated laundry area.
Work Room Tables: This was another risky design requirement we made last year – how and if we should squeeze 3 of us in a room to do actual work. At the moment, the configuration has worked well enough, and we removed the rollers on our work room chairs too so there's no chance of chairs slamming into each other. Hannah also seems versatile enough to do her homework anywhere in the house.
Invisible Grills: The grills have also been as they were a year ago; the cables still seem tense, and no signs of rust (yet?) too. We did hear of a neighbor going with the same grill vendor who didn't have as much luck though – the grills showed signs of corrosion. The one gripe we have is pretty minor – the plastic caps to cover holes along the grill frames have been dropping off, like this:
Solar Film: Food for thought though: whether Films are of any real perceptible benefit might come down to whether you've experienced the house without Solar Films installed first. We did for a couple of months last year and can say with certainty that the Films will help. That said, we were never under any illusions that the films all around the house were gonna turn an apartment experiencing afternoon heat into a chilled igloo. At this time of the year now, the afternoon sun is shining directly into the wide part of the house, heating up the children's bedroom (below), the workroom and to a lesser degree, the Master room. The films do help by bringing the general temperature a couple of degrees down – though it's still not enough to make the rooms bearable for working and living in the afternoon heat without turning on additional air-conditioning.
Front Balcony: We had grand and lofty ideas about how to use the fairly large front balcony space before moving in – and that included a general lounging around area and also children's play area. But given the general humidity of the island in general, the Front Balcony has turned into our little stretch of green for Ling's plants, and also for drying items that need direct sunlight (the yard balcony where the laundry normally goes does not experience direct sunlight for the most part).
More notes in the next post, soon.:)

VBAlert is an emergency alert and warning system provided by the city of Virginia Beach, Virginia. It is a valuable resource for receiving timely and accurate information about emergencies, important events and severe weather notifications impacting Virginia Beach. You can receive information via email and/or text messages by subscribing to this service.
All Virginia Beach citizens with landline telephone service in their homes already receive emergency notifications on these phones. This service will continue, and no action is required on your part. If you would like to also receive emergency information, severe weather notifications and other important alerts on a mobile device or in your email inbox, register with VBAlert.
Who sends out the alerts?
The Virginia Beach Department of Emergency Communications and Citizens Services manages and administers the VBAlert system. They work with the city's public safety agencies and other city departments to craft and deliver VBAlert messages.
How do I register?
Click on the "New User Registration" menu item on the left side of the home page and follow the prompts.
How many devices/email addresses can I add to my account?
You can have multiple devices and email addresses for your VBAlert account. For instance, you may register yourself and each member of your family under one account. All devices will receive all alert categories selected, so if you want different categories for different family members, please create multiple accounts. Please note that you may only add one device and email at a time.
Can I receive voice notifications on my cell phone?
No. Voice notifications are only delivered to landline telephones.
Is there a fee to register with VBAlert?
VBAlert is a free service provided by the city of Virginia Beach; however, standard text message rates may apply, depending on your cellular plan. Please contact your cellular service provider if you have questions about your plan.

How do I manage my account?
To manage your account, you need to log into the system using the account email address and password that you created when you registered. After you log in, you will see six tabs: Home, Locations, Devices, My Alerts, Alert Log and Help.
How do I ensure alerts are not blocked or delivered to my Junk Mail?
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) utilize various methods to prevent unsolicited commercial email (Junk mail or spam) from being delivered to users' mailboxes. Some of these methods may mistakenly classify VBAlert messages as junk mail and not deliver the alert to the recipient. Each ISP has a different set of steps to follow to ensure these alerts get delivered directly to the users' mailboxes. Typically the sender's domain name must be added to an address book or 'safe sender list'. To ensure you receive VBAlert emails, please add email@example.com to your address book or safe sender list.
What are the browser requirements for using VBAlert?
Windows Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla Firefox browsers are supported by VBAlert. Other browsers may work with the system; however, certain features may not function correctly.
What if I need additional help?
Contact support at email@example.com.

Although medical experts and policymakers have called for universal screening at hospitals, no trial has looked into the matter.
This study, conducted between July 2004 and May 2006, involved 21,754 surgical patients at a Swiss teaching hospital. Researchers compared two control strategies for MRSA: rapid screening upon hospital admission plus standard infection control measures versus standard infection control measures only.
Patients on 12 surgical wards with different specialties were assigned to one group for nine months then switched to the other for another nine months.
The rate of surgical-site infections and hospital-acquired infections did not differ drastically between the two groups. The authors estimated that 30 patients would have to be screened at admission to detect one previously unidentified MRSA carrier.
One future option might be to target screening to surgical patients undergoing elective procedures with a higher risk of MRSA infection, the authors stated.
The study raises another important issue about the distinction between community-acquired and hospital-acquired infection, and whether universal screening might be more effective in the future.
"If you do screening on admission in the future, will it start to make a difference to MRSA transmission in the medical setting if the distinction continues to break down?" asked Philip Alcabes, an associate professor of urban public health at Hunter College School of Health Sciences in New York City. "That remains a question worth asking."
And existing procedures are nothing to scoff at in terms of effectiveness. "Standard infection control procedures do seem to work," said Alcabes. "It's a good idea,
