League preview: Big South Conference
Rivals.com Staff
Rivals.com College Basketball
We continue with our league breakdowns for the upcoming season; we'll work backward from league No. 32 to our top-ranked league.
The breakdowns will become more in-depth as the leagues get bigger.
By Gary Mondello
South Carolina's loss will be Coastal Carolina's gain -- again.
Chad Gray was a first-team Big South player for Coastal Carolina even though he only started two games. This season, Gamecocks transfer Mike Holmes will start the season on the bench, but he will play a big role for the Chanticleers once he's eligible in December. Add in sophomore Kierre Greenwood, who showed flashes of brilliance last season as a freshman, and Coastal Carolina has a great chance to defend its regular-season title.
Winthrop, last season's Big South tourney champ and NCAA representative, should be solid defensively and will be in the title hunt. Reggie Middleton, who made the All-Big South tournament team last season, appears ready to take the reins of the Eagles' offense.
UNC Asheville, a team that plays well together and has lots of experience, also will be near the top of the league standings. UNCA senior John Williams is as explosive as any player in the Big South, and J.P. Primm runs the offense, can shoot and is a pesky defender.
Presbyterian, which isn't eligible for the postseason, could be a contender for the regular-season title thanks to a trio of redshirts, led by Al'Lonzo Coleman. Coleman may be a 20-point, 10-rebound guy for Presbyterian, and he may have the biggest impact of any player in the league.
High Point, led by player-of-the-year candidate Nick Barbour, and Liberty could be sleepers in the league race.
C Al'Lonzo Coleman, Presbyterian (6-7/230, Jr.)
F Chad Gray, Coastal Carolina (6-7/197, Sr.)
G Nick Barbour, High Point (6-3/175, Jr.)

BMW C Evolution pictures and eyes-on
BMW is about cars most of the time, but it also has a motorbike division and it's been working just as hard as the car concept team to embrace electric as the main power source.
On show at the BMW Pavilion in the Olympic Park, as well as being used as part of the Olympic fleet, the BMW E-Scooter can go 62 miles on a single charge at speeds up to 75mph.
Those who like to get away from the lights will be pleased to hear the E-Scooter can manage a not too shabby 0-31mph in three seconds.
Unlike electric cars that take almost eight hours to get a fully charge, the need for less power means the E-Scooter is ready to go again in just three - handy if you are able to stop for a quick bite to eat and charge your bike at the same time as charging yourself.
There is no time frame for when the E-Scooter will be available to buy, but we are hoping that the fact that BMW is already using them on the road can only mean good things.
You can see the new BMW E-Scooter concept at the BMW Pavilion at the Olympic Park alongside the new BMW i3 and i8 concept cars. The Pavilion is free to enter, although you will need tickets for the Olympic Park to get into the grounds.

I support the entrepreneurial dynamism of free markets. I believe entrepreneurs are more likely than government bureaucrats to build successful businesses and provide stable, good-paying jobs. I oppose government interference in the marketplace. I want government to spend less, interfere less, do less, and tax less.
So when a few fellow conservatives criticize plans to reauthorize the Export-Import Bank on grounds that it is just another costly government corporate welfare program, why do I strongly disagree? The answer is simple – the Ex-Im Bank is none of the things some of my fellow conservatives claim.
The Ex-Im Bank assists U.S. manufacturers – small and large – to export their goods to foreign buyers. Typically it facilitates loan guarantees for foreign buyers who want to buy U.S. goods. Whether it is big names like General Electric, Caterpillar and Boeing, or small companies (which comprise 87% of the bank's transactions), the Ex-Im Bank helps their foreign buyers obtain financing so that American goods are sold and shipped abroad. This means more American employment and more exports.
The Ex-Im Bank does not compete with private financial institutions, but rather fills-in banking gaps so that U.S. goods can be exported to nations where commercial financing is insufficient. The Ex-Im Bank doesn't cost taxpayers a dime. Rather, it makes money from the fees charged to foreign buyers which get pumped back into the U.S. Treasury and helps reduce the deficit.
The Ex-Im Bank has a 75 year track-record and the Congressional Budget Office projects in the coming years, the Ex-Im Bank will pump $900 million into the U.S. Treasury – not to mention the hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. made goods that will be exported and the hundreds of thousands of American jobs that will be supported. In 2011 alone, the bank facilitated sales abroad that supported 290,000 American jobs.
Some conservatives incorrectly argue that the Ex-Im Bank is similar to the Solyndra scandal where government bureaucrats gave about $500 million to a business headed by Obama fundraisers. To make matters worse, Solyndra's own business plan showed that it could not turn a profit. Solyndra represents what is deeply wrong with government attempts to manipulate the marketplace.
But the Ex-Im Bank and Solyndra have nothing in common. Solyndra involved government awarding taxpayer funded cash grants to failing businesses owned by political allies. The money was completely wasted, the business failed, and no jobs were created.

Attic Insulation
Reduce HVAC Spending
During summer months, heat comes into the home through the roof. Green Energy Barrier reflects this heat away from your property, making it easier to maintain a cool and comfortable environment. During winter months, the hot air that your heater works so hard to create rises to the top of your home and escapes through the attic. Because Green Energy Barrier works both ways, the same reflective surface that kept heat out during summer can keep heat in during winter, reflecting it back down into your house.
Green Energy Barrier
GEB is a material that can reflect up to 95 percent of radiant heat, this radiant barrier is an investment that will create a more comfortable home and reduce your energy costs.


text: Back in 1985 the late Bill Gramm Productions and Dick Clark Productions produced four Farm Aid Concerts because thousands of family farms were facing foreclosure. Because of this thousands of family farms were saved. Now it's the family homes' turn to be saved, and I am talking Home Aid Concerts all over America; rock, country, christian rock, folk, jazz, classical, choir and all types of concerts raising money for homeowners facing foreclosure, people facing bankruptcy and unemployed people whom are disabled and not eligible for disability, or unemployment insurance. As far as the Iraq War is concerned, I think America should file a multi-trillion dollar lawsuit against Iraq with attachments. I am quite sure Iran and Iraq knew about the terrorists but were afraid to say anything. When it comes to alternative fuel efficient automobiles we should have started manufacturing them right after the 1973 oil embargo. Paul Andrew Pease Grass Valley

Alternate title: Kaze Tachinu
The Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki has long had an aerial fixation, setting one movie after another in the realms of fanciful flight, from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" to "Kiki's Delivery Service" to the underrated "Porco Rosso" (about a World War I flying ace who turns into a pig man). Mr. Miyazaki remains enchanted with the idea of being airborne, which animation freely lends itself to, having sent little girls, castles and even swine into flight. " The Wind Rises ," his newest film, tells the fictionalized story of Jiro Horikoshi, a gifted aeronautic engineer who is historically notable — or infamous — for designing deadly warplanes used by Japan in World War II. Mr. Miyazaki's lyrical chronicle of the inventor's creative process and his poignant romance reminds us that staying aloft is a fraught endeavor. Yet even in this film about an absorbed artist of the floating world, premonitions of the calamitous events to come cannot be entirely absent. — Nicolas Rapold

Stay Away.
by Tanya , 07/16/2014
I wish there was a lower star to give this place. This office is the most unfriendly environment. I had not been to this office in over two years when I received a collection letter from TCS from an outstanding balance that I knew NOTHING about. Never once did this office try contacting me by phone, as my address had changed. I was so confused since the last visit was completely paid for, so I called to find out what this mysterious charge was for to find out this $60.23 was for a missed appointment that I tried canceling by calling the day before! They conveniently did not pick up their phone, So I left a message with the answering service, which apparently was not an acceptable way of canceling an appointment because the next contact I have with this office is by a collection agency six months later. This is no way to do business, and I would HIGHLY recommend staying away.

Comments about George Nelson Classic Brass Turbine 30 in. Wall Clock by Kirch - Control Brand MCM:
Looks great in the pictures, but quality control is absolutely awful. Arrived with corners of all the metal spikes bent. Silver metal face is loose and bulges out of the walnut surround. Screws holding spikes onto spokes loose and not screwed in straight. Cannot believe that a product with this many manufacturing problems was sent out. Terrible.

The Democrat-led House pressed Thursday for enough votes to pass landmark legislation that would combat global warming by forcing U.S. companies to reduce their carbon-dioxide emissions, expanding expensive renewable-energy sources and trimming consumers' choices on new light bulbs and hot tubs.
Publicly, President Obama urged passage of the legislation -- one of his top priorities -- even though it faces near-unanimous opposition from Republicans. Behind the scenes, his top aides and environmental allies lobbied wavering Democrats to vote yes as early as Friday. The chamber is trying to wrap up work this week before it breaks for the Fourth of July holiday.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, signaled her confidence that the bill would be approved by canceling a visit to Washington by former Vice President Al Gore, a major proponent of cutting so-called greenhouse-gas emissions.
The bill, if passed as expected, would go on to an uncertain future in the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, has asked committee chairmen to have a climate-change bill ready for Senate consideration in September.
But resistance there remained high among both Democrats and Republicans to key components of the bill, including its complicated pollution-permit market system called cap-and-trade. In addition, Senate Democrats are divided over regional disparities in the impact of the bill.
Democratic Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, the Senate's majority whip, said Thursday that if legislation passes in the House, support for it will grow in the Senate.
"We're kind of catching the wind that they create when it comes to cap-and-trade," he said.
The House bill would cut U.S. greenhouse-gas emissions -- primarily carbon dioxide -- 17 percent below 2005 levels by 2020 and 83 percent by 2050. It would also establish a new Renewable Electricity Standard (RES), which would force utilities to supply a minimum amount of their electricity from renewable energy sources.
The bill would reach carbon-dioxide emission targets by establishing a cap-and-trade system, which would require heavy emitters of carbon dioxide, and the oil and gas industry, to buy annual emissions permits from the government or through a secondary market.
The plan, as written by the House Energy and Commerce Committee, would auction a small percentage of the available permits, or allowances, directly to companies. The rest, more than 85 percent, would be given away to selected industries, local utility companies, states and Indian tribes.
Democrats contended the legislation would help reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil, increase the use of renewable energy such as solar and wind power and increase employment in clean energy industries.
"This is a jobs bill," Mr. Obama said Thursday, in his second public endorsement of the bill this week.
Republicans, dismissing official congressional estimates that showed an average cost to American families of $175 a year, argued that the measure would significantly increase energy costs on individuals and companies. They said the bill is really a thinly disguised energy tax that would impose excessive government intervention and reduce economic growth.
House Republican Leader John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican, said the bill will cost the economy up to 2.7 million jobs.
"When it comes to energy, Washington Democrats, I think, are poised to make matters worse by imposing a job-killing energy tax, courtesy of Speaker Pelosi. This is going to force small businesses and their workers and families to pay more for electricity, gasoline, and other products that are made in America that have a high energy content," he said.
The basic idea behind cap-and-trade is simple: Experts assess how much pollution can be safely put into the environment, then shares (sometimes called permits or allowances) equaling that amount are given or auctioned by the government to those who have historically emitted the pollutant.
Polluters then must return to the government enough permits to cover their emissions every year. If they fall short of permits, emitters can buy them from those who have a surplus. The number of permits available decreases annually until a "safe" level of emissions level is reached.
The bill would direct 2 billion free allowances to domestic and international conservation, known as "offsets," which would allow companies to buy emissions permits by effectively paying farmers here and abroad to preserve trees and employ environmental planting practices.
The legislation would require utilities that provide more than 4 million megawatt hours of electricity a year to buy a certain amount of electricity from renewable sources.
The amount starts at just 6 percent in 2012 and gradually increases to 20 percent in 2020, although utilities could meet up to 8 percent of the mandate through reduced energy usage by their customers.
Renewable energy accounts for about 8.5 percent of domestic electricity generation, but the House bill's renewable mandate would not recognize all of that as renewable. Hydropower, for example, which makes up a large chunk of current electricity generation, is not all counted as renewable toward the new mandate.
The last major issue holding up the bill was resolved Thursday when Mrs. Pelosi agreed to an amendment that would require the president to impose trade tariffs on trade partners that do not limit their carbon-dioxide emissions by 2020. Earlier, House leaders compromised with farm-state lawmakers by, among other things, easing rules on corn-based ethanol production and putting the permit program under the Agriculture Department rather than the Environmental Protection Agency.
The bill would have far reaching effects on energy users at all levels of the economy, from giant manufacturers to utilities to individuals.
For instance, the government would impose new buildings standards and require some household items to use less energy than they do now. These items include backyard spas, lamps located above art work, drinking-water dispensers and light bulbs in outdoor light fixtures.
The bill would, in effect, force companies to phase out inefficient products of these kinds and replace them with more efficient - and more expensive - versions. Light bulbs, now sometimes less than a dollar, would in the future cost much more.
The bill would also make changes to the government's Energy Star program, which recognizes dishwashers, refrigerators and other appliances that save energy. The tougher standards would mean these "energy saving" products would cost more than regular products and it would take longer for consumers to recoup the extra costs through savings on their energy bill, critics say.
"It doesn't do any good to have high-price, energy-efficient products if people will just pay to have their old appliances fixed," said Kevin Messner, vice president of government relations for the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers.

When his ship hit the iceberg on the night of April 14, 1912, J Bruce Ismay, President of JP Morgan's International Mercantile Marine, the company who owned the Titanic, helped to load the women and children into the lifeboats before jumping into the third-to-last boat to leave on the starboard side.
He subsequently became, as a British headline put it, "The Most Talked-of Man in All the World." "The humblest immigrant in steerage," ran an editorial in John Bull, the newspaper of the working man, "had more moral right to a seat in a lifeboat than you."
There are various other versions of Ismay's departure from the Titanic. Some witnesses believed he quietly slipped into in the first lifeboat to be launched, others say he fought his way through the crowds and gun-fire to squeeze onto the very last boat to leave. Ismay himself insisted that the deck was empty when he left the Titanic, that he saw no sign of the 1,500 people still remaining on the ship.
His survival was regarded as not only cowardly, but criminal. Ismay was revealed to have been the man responsible for limiting the lifeboats on the ship to sixteen (the Titanic was fitted with davits which could hold three times that number)--Why clutter the decks, he is said to have asked at planning meetings, when the ship is herself a lifeboat?
He was known, on the day of the accident, to have been given by Captain E J Smith a Marconigram carrying an ice warning, which Ismay glanced at before absent-mindedly putting in his pocket. It was rumored that he had ordered the Captain to maintain the ship's speed as they entered the ice region, and following his rescue, Ismay admitted that he had not inquired into the number of people who had died nor into the state and condition of those who had survived.
Messages he then sent to his New York office from the rescue ship, the Carpathia, suggested that Ismay was trying to avoid giving evidence at the American Inquiry. "Mr. Ismay cares for nobody," concluded the New York American. "He cares only for his own body, his own stomach, for his own pride and profit."
The right to survive the Titanic depended on the passengers' status on the ship. Ismay's defense was that he was travelling neither as the captain nor as a member of the crew, but an ordinary First Class passenger and that he was therefore entitled to save his own life. His argument was weakened by the admission that he had not paid for his ticket, and by the revelation that he conducted himself on board as the ultimate authority. Ismay was, according to the British Inquiry into the Titanic, a "Super Captain."
But Ismay wasn't the only passenger on The Titanic to be scrutinized for surviving: women, children, and lifeboat captains were also regarded as cowardly and irresponsible.
Here are nine ways that you could have survived the Titantic.
All images from the new book, How to Survive the Titanic, or The Sinking of J Bruce Ismay by Frances Wilson.
The law of the sea is women and children first. CATCH: Given that women on land were currently campaigning for their suffrage, the fact that those at sea were happy to accept the privileges of inequality was seen by many as iniquitous. 'What do women want?' asked the press - 'Votes or Boats?' One newspaper suggested that 'henceforth, when a woman talks women's rights, she be answered with the word Titanic, nothing more. Just "Titanic." 'Real' women stood by their men, and the heroine of the night was Ida Straus who stayed on board with her husband of fifty years, the owner of Macy's Department store. "Where you go, I go," Mrs. Straus is reported to have said. When it became known that the same women who had allowed themselves to be handed into the half-empty lifeboats then refused to return to rescue the drowning bodies of the men who had shown such gallantry, the fairness of the fairer sex was further questioned. Mrs. Stuart White, a first class passenger who lived at the Waldorf-Astoria, then put the cat amongst the pigeons by stating that the women who went down seventy feet to float on a frozen sea had been braver than the "heroes" who stayed on board the "unsinkable" ship. "I do not think that there was any particular bravery," she said, "because none of the men thought it was going down." Of the 705 people who survived, 140 were women in First Class, 80 were in women in Second Class, and 76 were women in Third Class. Of the twenty-three female members of the crew, twenty survived.
CATCH: What constituted a child? Aged 12, children were able to leave school and begin work. Second Officer Lightoller tried to prevent 13-year-old John Ryerson from getting into a lifeboat with his mother. Mr. Ryerson, who would die that night, persuaded Lightoller that his son was a child and not an adult. "No more boys," the Officer was heard to mutter as he reluctantly allowed young John to leave the sinking ship. Of the 109 children on the Titanic 52 died, all from third class.
Edward Ryan, a third-class Irish passenger, put a towel over his head before stepping into a lifeboat. To prevent him from being detected, one woman threw a shawl over a passenger called Daniel Buckley who was hiding in her boat. Several men, including Ismay, were falsely accused of having dressed as women in order to save their lives. CATCH: None. It later became a point of pride to say that you survived the Titanic because you were dressed as a woman.
Stowaways stood a good chance of surviving because they were in the lifeboats already. Ismay shared his lifeboat with four Chinese stowaways who had been hiding beneath the cover. CATCH: Deportation on arrival in New York.
The lifeboats needed men to do the rowing; if there was not an available member of the crew, a male passenger was required to do their duty. CATCH: Accusations of cowardice still applied. Major Peuchen, a Canadian passenger who volunteered himself to man a boat because he was an experienced yachtsman, was afterwards maligned. One taunt that circulated about Peuchen was that, "he said he was a yachtsman so he could get off the Titanic, and if there had been a fire, he would have said he was a fireman."
While all the women in First Class, except those few who chose to stay with their husbands, survived, a blind eye was turned to the morality of the 56 other men in First Class who (apart from Ismay) had found their way into the lifeboats. Ismay shared his boat with an American First Class passenger called William E Carter, who was not called as a witness at the US Inquiry and whose survival was never questioned. CATCH: William Carter's wife and two children were apparently still on board when he left the ship; Mrs Carter later divorced her husband on grounds of deserting his family while they were on the Titanic. Of the 175 First Class men on board, 118 died.
Survival was legitimate if you had been ordered by an Officer to get into a lifeboat. CATCH 1: It was unclear to the passengers who had the authority to issue such an order. Ismay was apparently ordering passengers of both sexes into the lifeboats, but as no one knew who he was they ignored him. CATCH 2: Being given permission to survive left you with a sense of responsibility. The Titanic's barber swore on oath that he had seen Ismay being 'practically thrown' into a lifeboat by Chief Officer Wilde, a claim Ismay vehemently denied despite the fact that it would exonerate him from accusations of cowardice. Ismay preferred to be branded a coward than to be seen as the appointed spokesman for the disaster.
"Be British, my boys, be British," Captain Smith reminded the shipload of international men and women. Recent research has shown that being British - in other words, letting the ladies go first and not pushing in a queue - meant that the British men on board were 7% less likely to survive, while the more assertive American male was 8.5% more likely.
The only legitimate way to survive the Titanic was to have initially gone with the ship. After loading the lifeboats on the port side, Second Officer Lightoller had taken a dive from the rapidly sinking vessel and been drawn, by a rush of water, to the wire mesh of a giant air shaft on which he became glued by the pressure of the sea. A blast of hot air from the shaft then blew Lightoller back to the surface of the water. He was pulled under again, this time resurfacing by a up-turned lifeboat. Holding a piece of rope, he floated alongside the boat until one of the ship's giant funnels fell, missing him by inches and causing both Lightoller and the raft to be flung fifty yards clear of the ship. He balanced on the boat all night until being rescued. CATCH: Lightoller's survival was seen by no one, except his own wife, as heroic. He was subsequently treated by the inquiries as a stooge of Ismay, who expected him to defend the White Star Line. Having spoken up for his employer, Lightoller was neither thanked nor promoted by the company. He had been used, he later said, as a scapegoat. Thirty men survived the Titanic by straddling Collapsible A.

Utah filmmaker explores paths to spirituality
Paul Larsen has seen his share of aimless young people the ones with no inner sense of purpose, no feeling for their place in the universe, or rituals to guide them to the divine.
Larsen has seen them at a youth correctional facility, where he has volunteered for a decade, and in his film classes at the University of Utah. He has observed scores of youths who have no tools to cope with crises in their lives. They are depressed, angry, anxious, isolated.
They have rejected their parents' spirituality, he says, and have replaced it with nothing. They feel disconnected, lost, lonely.
Larsen understands all too well their perspective. Forty years ago, he was one of them.
"Sometimes we give too much away," Larsen intones in the opening narration of his new film, "Spirituality for the Uninsured," "then emptiness follows, which begs to be filled, and oftentimes by the worst of things."
Those are echoes from Larsen's own experience.
After he graduated from LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University in the mid-1970s, Larsen recalls in an interview, he went back east with his now-wife, Ann Fluckiger Larsen, and became an agnostic.
He "threw too much away" of his Mormonness, he says, and, some years later, when he faced a personal crisis, "had nothing to grab hold of."
"I started sifting through all the stuff I had thrown off," the filmmaker says, to discover what he believed about God and the world.
Eventually, Larsen returned to his earlier faith, he says, but with a more expansive view of holiness.
This movie, to be shown at the U.'s Museum of Fine Arts on Friday, is Larsen's exploration of various spiritual paths, with a focus on personal stories of life-changing moments and long-standing rituals.
It's a kind of visual companion to William James' famous 1902 volume, "Varieties of Religious Experience."
"There is so much talk about reaching the divine," says Sterling Van Wagenen, a co-founder of the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, who also teaches film at the U. "I'm tired of the talk. What I yearn for is a connection to the divine and to each other."
And that, Van Wagenen says, is what Larsen's film captures so well.
Two planes of reality • Cracks of thunder. Red rocks of Zion. Native American sweat lodges. An artist's paintbrush. A cathedral pew. Tibetan Buddhist mandalas. Christian rock.
Each of these can be a doorway to another reality, says Larsen, transforming travelers on their way.
For 20 years, Craig Keyes fought his drug addiction without success, he says in the film.
Then one day, during a Native American spiritual session, the group heard a thunderclap overhead and it started to rain. Someone in the circle began to sing his gratitude to the creator for the moisture.
"I held my hands out to the rain," Keyes says. "It washed over me."
From that moment on, the addict never went back to drugs.
"An energy settled on Craig and a profound change happened to Craig," Larsen, the film's narrator, says. "I have felt the same emptiness that pushed Craig to the edge and needed to know what can bring a person back from there. I journeyed to find the answer."
Larsen begins his search with panoramic images of southern Utah's canyons.
"In the early 1860s, my family settled in this canyon. They had walked and ridden in wagons for nearly 3,000 miles," he says. "They felt themselves called here by their God as a vanguard of like-minded believers willing to go through any tribulation to establish their spiritual homeland."
Despite their physical hardships, Larsen says, "they never cursed [the land], but honored it instead, naming this canyon Zion, which means dwelling place of God."
Modern Americans, though, focus more on their intellectual gifts, producing technological wonders and contemporary conveniences that are impressive and lifesaving.
But those advances cause many to feel distracted, disconnected from others, and divorced from their surroundings and any higher power.
That's where various forms of spirituality come in.
Artists, Larsen posits, can often provide a bridge between the rational and experiential aspects of consciousness.
"I paint right out of my heart," says Spring City artist Kathleen Peterson. "I am not thinking about the past, not thinking about the future, not thinking about anything. My mind just goes somewhere else."
To Peterson, and the other artists Larsen features, "the whole thing is ritual."
Next he explores Buddhist rituals, Tibetan and Zen.
About 10 Tibetan monks traveled to St. George in 2008 to create a "mandala," or sand painting.
These works invoke "higher deities to come here," one of the monks explains in the film, "and help us achieve our purpose of helping other beings."
Once the colorful and intricate painting which provides visual cues for living is complete, the monks then destroy it, symbolic of life's transitory nature.
Larsen also showcases Christianity, as seen in Salt Lake City's Risen Life Church, including its rock hymns that speak of God's embrace.
"Belief in God is far less important than developing a relationship with God," says Pastor Kevin Lund. "The experience of music helps one get beyond the limits of everyday reality in order to open up a spiritual reality."
And then there's the youth correctional sweat lodge.
Young people who have been in "trouble with the law" crowd into a small, dark tent, which is superheated with rocks and steam.
"They will feel as though death were close by," the narrator says. "To survive, they will have to learn to pray."
Science has "explained much about physical reality," Larsen says. "But there are aspects of our consciousness that lie outside the realm of science."
Even some avowed agnostics have sensed this.
Surprised by a moment • Larsen's student May Bartlett had never been religious, attending a Christian church only on a couple of Christmases.
Then she participated in an exercise in which she practiced being "blind" for a week and had an otherworldly experience in Salt Lake City's Cathedral of the Madeleine that seemed to confirm the existence of a realm outside of this one.
"In that moment, I felt more connected with humanity than I ever had," she says. "Visually, I saw this vast plane of nothing with just this focused energy going up out into God-knows-where. It was nuts, unlike anything I've ever experienced before."
Biblical scholar Marcus Borg mentions that years ago he had a "series of mystical experiences that couldn't be integrated into the lens that was then operating in my mind."
Borg had to generate a new lens.
He and others in the film have few words that can capture what they saw and felt, because, Larsen argues, human language falls short.
Direct encounters like these whether viewed as God or truth or energy leave participants with an "overwhelming impression that our rational vision of the world is incomplete," the narrator says. "Existence feels like a miracle."
Spiritual and religious practices are meant to "incrementally bring a person to the same place," Larsen concludes."For thousands of years and through numerous generations, practitioners have moved inward to find what is revealed deep inside the heart of being."
The best way to find out which ones are suited to you, he says, "is to try them and see what enriches a life or enlarges a soul."
For Larsen, the film's title, "Spirituality for the Uninsured," implies looking for transcendent solace in an uncertain world.
When he told it to his brother-in-law, a Mormon stake president, the relative laughed for two minutes, then settled down and commented, "We are all uninsured."

So, its that time a year. The winter bulk has come to an end and its time to lose that topcoat layer for the beach. Well, dont cut the sleeves off your shirt just yet. Here are some tricks that you can try out to put your fat loss into fast forward
Active Rest Between Sets
It may sound like and oxymoron, when in actuality it is the quickest way to shed fat outside of your diet. With that said Screw the treadmill!
Instead of standing around in between sets and checking out your triceps in the mirror, pick from the following exercises to be performed for 30 seconds to a minute in between each set.
Jumprope - best fat loss tool known to man. It burns more calories in half the time than running on the treadmill like a hamster.
Mountain Climbers - engages every muscle from your ankles to your head and can be done anywhere in the gym.
"Burpees" - not only help you activate both fast and slow twitch muscle fibers, but is a full-body movement that will put your metabolism into 5th gear for the entire day.
Though these exercises can be a workout in themselves, be sure to pace yourself and keep an intensity that will elevate your heart rate but wont cause you to compensate form on your lifts.
The Jumprope burns more calories in half the time than running on the treadmill.
Pre-Meal Supplementation
How your body absorbs what you eat can drastically affect your fat loss goals. Try the following 30 minutes before your major meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) to gain an edge on your fat loss journey.
Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLA) - aids in fat oxidation and helps utilize fat for energy.
Fiber Supplement (Metamucil) - not only makes digestion more efficient, but nutrient absorption as well.
Green Tea or green tea capsules - powerful antioxidants and natural fat burning properties that can, well, burn fat!
Combining all three of these can ensure that what you eat will not only be properly absorb, but will have less chance to be stored as fat.
No Starches 3 Hours Before Bed
Unless youre a nighthawk that works out super late at night, your body will have no use for carbohydrates at this point. Instead of breaking them down and using them for energy, like you do throughout your active day, your body will break them down into fat. Try tapering your carbs throughout the day until you have none within three hours of bed. Whatever carbs you DO have later in the day, make sure they are primarily fibrous carbs such as vegetables.
So there you have 3 Tricks to Jumpstart Your Fat Loss that will bring you closer to your optimal physique. Try them out and watch the fat melt off your hard earned muscle.

I was really put off regarding the recent article about Miley Cyrus and how society contributes to her issues.
This viewpoint is a big part of the problem with our children today. No one is laying the blame where is belongs.
First, she is 20 years old and should know better. But the bigger question needs to be asked, Why didn't her parents ever teach her about self-respect? Why is no one holding any of them responsible for her actions.
Personally, I think the VMAs have been going over the line for a long time and should have had better censoring a long time ago. I stopped watching them years ago.
I am definitely not to blame for her actions. I certainly wasn't raised to behave this way or believe that this behavior is appropriate. If children today were taught right from wrong, and held accountable for their actions, maybe there wouldn't be some of the problems that there are.
It just seems that no matter where you go today, children are taught to believe that it's always someone else's fault. Then they see people like Miley, and instead of their parents telling them why this behavior is unacceptable, it's just laughed off as how things are in the world today.
If we want a different world for our children to grow up in, it's our responsibility as parents and adults to give them better guidance and better role models, certainly not Miley Cyrus.

I'm using standard Delphi constants DayMonday, etc and I want to convert them to localized strings (eg "Lundi"). Is there a simple RTL or VCL call for this?
You can get different locale settings by:
GetThreadLocale gives the current LCID but you can use another number yourself.
TFormatSettings record:
See also http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/lcid-all.mspx for a complete list.
You can even change the formatsettings yourself to create really fancy results.
I thought I had found a simple way for the "current locale".
There are global arrays LongDayNames[] and ShortDayNames[] defined in system.pas
should work, for example. Except it returns "Sunday". This is because Delphi internally supports two day numbering schemes, and DayMonday is an the ISO8601 constant 1, while the LongDayName array expects sunday as the first day of the week. C++Builder confuses things further because the string array then starts at zero, not one.

Yahoo China has been acquired by Alibaba.com and relaunched as a pure search service. Here's the rundown on the changes and some reasons behind the handout, which still leaves Yahoo itself earning off the site.
Back in August, Yahoo invested $1 billion in Alibaba. That gave Yahoo a 40 percent stake in the company.
At the end of October, there was a UPI report that Alibaba bought up all the assets of Yahoo China for $1 billion. But I think that was reported backwards and working off the August announcement.
If you look at the release of the August deal, it talks of Yahoo "contributing" Yahoo China to Alibaba. So I think UPI had it wrong. This other report covers how the deal was concluded at the end of October.
Skipping ahead, via Shak's China White blog, Yahoo! China has 8 months to better Baidu or it's 'game over,' says Alibaba CEO covers the relaunch, as does Yahoo China back to search engine market found via Threadwatch.
The first article covers Alibaba feeling they've got about a year to have a chance in search in China and how the more pure search site will also focus on financial news, entertainment and sports. And political news?
I don't want to get into trouble with the government, so I don't do any political news," said Ma. China requires special certification to publish political news.
It's not all abandoning portal features, however. Email is also being kept, as that's seen as a key portal feature that can't go away.
Yahoo's Jeremy Zawodny who is in Taiwan, heard about the move from his cab driver and was surprised to see that Yahoo China has gained an MP3 search tab.
No surprise, really. China's most popular search engine, Baidu, has built its popularity on music search -- or some would say illegal downloads -- as I covered in my Google's China Situation Better Than You Might Think -- And Other China Search News post. The question really is, will the new Yahoo China feature music content but not get into the same trouble Baidu's had with music companies.
I took a fast look to see if I could find any pirated songs, but needing to log into a Yahoo China account lost me, I'm afraid. If you have to log in, I'm guessing pirated music is less likely.
Finally, doesn't it seem odd for Yahoo to be handing over Yahoo China to another company when just this week, it bought out control of Yahoo UK, Germany, France and Korea from Softbank?
Nah. I'm guessing it's a handy way for Yahoo to profit off of China but get free of all those pesky complaints that Yahoo bends to China's will on political issues. Hey, we didn't hand that email over to the Chinese government. We didn't censor those news results. We didn't filter those search results. Alibaba did -- take it up with them! Yet by owning a stake in Alibaba, Yahoo can earn money of the search business.
As a reminder, Google owns a stake in four percent stake of Baidu. That gives it a bit of a hedge in case Google China doesn't work or the entire Yahoo keeping your distance situation -- if I'm reading that situation right -- looks worthwhile to follow.
