Islamic "fundamentalism," or more accurately the Islamic radical movement, is a product of this religious revival. It arose out of, and to some degree in resistance to, traditional Islam. It has been gaining traction and strength for the past few decades. And the central argument of the Islamic radicals is strikingly similar to that of the early Protestants. The Islamic radicals argue that Islam has over the years become diluted and corrupted. True Islam stagnates, they argue, while Muslim leaders and Muslim clergy sell their souls to maintain their position and power. The radicals' solution is to call for a return to the original, seventh-century Islam that the Prophet Muhammad established.
Why then, some Western readers might wonder, do Islamists not follow the lead of the Protestants and proclaim "the priesthood of the individual believer"? Why is separation of church and state such an alien concept, resisted so fiercely by the Islamist leaders?
The answer to this question is very simple: in returning to their origins, the Muslims are going back to a very different starting point than Christians did.
Christianity was formed out of a different mold than Islam. Christianity from the beginning separated the realms of religion and government. This was not an American invention. Christ himself instructed his disciples to render unto Caesar and to God their separate dues. And throughout Western history the church and the state generally performed distinct functions.
By contrast, Islam from the outset united church and state. The prophet Muhammad was during his lifetime both a prophet and a Caesar. He established an Islamic society in which the sharia or holy law governed not only religious duties but also divorce, inheritance, interest rates, and the rules of warfare. The sharia is a comprehensive Islamic law that covers constitutional, civil and commercial matters in additional to spiritual or religious ones.
Many Islamic countries have adopted Western or secular codes over the years, leaving sharia to operate only in confined domains, such as family law, or they have abolished sharia altogether, as in Turkey. Obviously Muslim immigrants in Western countries live under secular laws. The goal of the Islamic radicals is to reverse this trend, at least within predominantly Muslim countries. Consistent with history, Islam's return to roots does not involve the priesthood of the individual believer but involves an attempt to unify the worldwide Muslim community and place it under the ordinances of Allah.
Westerners calling for an Islamic Reformation have got what they wished for, even if the shape of this reformation is not at all what they expected. There is no point deploring the Islamic awakening. It's here, and it's not going away. In general there is nothing wrong with Muslims seeking to rule their own countries according to their own religious and moral values. As I argue in my book The Enemy at Home, the challenge for America is to resist Islamic radicalism and terrorism without making Islam itself into the enemy. We already have enough problems in Iraq. We don't want to be in the undesirable situation of having to do battle with one out of every five persons on the planet.

Who likes paying more for something when you know you can get it cheaper somewhere else?
It's a gut-wrenching feeling when you've paid for goods or services only to realize that you could have saved a bundle had you just invested a little bit more time researching all your options. This has happened to me when buying appliances, clothes and, most recently, term life insurance.
I had taken out three separate 30 term policies over the years as my family grew ($250,000, $500,000, and $1.5 million). I thought that I had plenty of life insurance coverage, but after our third son arrived I started to have second thoughts. I decided to revisit how much I was paying for life insurance, increase my coverage, and see if I could get a better term life insurance rates by shopping around.
Turns out that I was able to increase my life insurance coverage by $250,000 to $2.5 million and save $400 a year. That's a pretty amazing savings, especially since I had previously taken out my last policy three years prior. By consolidating to one carrier I was able to increase my peace of mind for my family and put a little back into my checking account. Win!
If you want to save on your life insurance, here are the steps to follow to make sure that you're getting the best term life insurance rate possible.
1. Avoid Captive; Go Independent.
I'm sure you're very familiar with State Farm commercials and their jingle,"Like a good neighbor State Farm is there." State Farm might be a good neighbor and they might be able to offer the "Discount Double Check," but it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to give you the most affordable rate on life insurance.
Captive agents such as New York Life, Northwestern Mutual and others may attempt to sell you on the fact that they can get you the cheapest rate, but in my experience that is not the case. I had one client that was paying almost $1,400 a year for his 20-year, million-dollar term policy with New York Life. When I gave him some quotes from some of our top carriers, it turns out that he could get the exact same policy for $800 a year; over a $600 per year savings. That's significant, and all he had to do was perform his own "Discount Double Check".
When buying life insurance I can't stress enough to go to an independent agent — and I don't mean an independent agent that's backed by a specific life insurance company. For example, you might have a life insurance agent that works for MetLife that can also offer other types of insurance companies. They may have ulterior motives by offering the MetLife product first.
Note: I'm not trying to diss MetLife … this is just an example. I've heard of countless examples when an agent claims to be independent, but they can only offer five or six different carriers. Find a truly independent agent that can work with dozens of different carriers if you truly want to get an accurate term quote.
2. Understand Your Health.
The biggest factor that's going to drive the amount you pay on your life insurance is how healthy you are. If you're a 35-year-old male that's 6 feet, 2 inches tall and 375 pounds, you're not going to get a preferred plus rating. I don't care how healthy you think you are.
Another news flash: If you think you're healthy because you haven't see your doctor in three years because you haven't had a need to, the life insurance company is going to strongly disagree with you. They want to make sure that:
- You are healthy; and
- You have had checkups from your doctor verifying so.
If you're applying for term life insurance rates and you have some sort of high-risk conditions such as high cholesterol or sleep apnea, the insurance company is going to want to know all the information they can about it, such as:
- When were you diagnosed?
- When was your last checkup for the condition?
- How severe is it?
- Do you take any medication?
- Has it caused any other medical problems?
Having all this information up front is going to make it that much easier for your independent agent to place you with the right carrier. All insurance companies have different underwriting procedures. While some may decline you immediately for having a severe case of sleep apnea, another company may give you a standing offer. That's why it's important to know what's going on with your health and to be able to relay that to your life insurance agent.
3. Don't Be Lazy About the Medical Exam.
Television commercials are becoming much more abundant that boast "how to get life insurance with no exam." These policies are becoming much more commonplace with a society that's all about getting things done fast. While I do offer these type of policies for individuals that do need fast life insurance, you must realize that by avoiding the life insurance exam you're going to pay that much more. With a little homework, you can be sure you are getting the cheapest possible life insurance rates.
Think about it: If a credit card company would issue you a credit card without running a credit check, they would have to charge a higher interest rate to account for the risk. The same concept applies with life insurance. By bypassing the medical exam, they are inheriting a much larger risk, so they have to charge you more to compensate.
A life insurance medical exam consists of getting your blood drawn and having a urine test. A traveling nurse will come to either your home or your place of employment and meet you at a time that's convenient for you and your family. If you don't mind needles and have the patience, avoid the life insurance with no exam policies and go with a traditional term policy.
If you have loved ones that depend on you, life insurance should not be an afterthought. You may have paid more for that household appliance that you should have. Don't make the same mistake about your life insurance policy.
Do you have tips for finding an affordable life insurance policy?

Civilian Luna by KitsuneShukkoWatch
©2014-2016 KitsuneShukko
So a friend of mine NorthboundFox took an sketch of Azel that you can find in my gallery that was done by my brilliant artist friend razrroth and turned it into this colorful image of Luna. We could assume that this is her before becoming a soldier in the Epikan Army and later a Guardian, so we could place her around perhaps the range of eighteen to twenty years old but no real specifics. Her hair is definitely a lot longer than it is in the future though that's for sure, but I think Luna is definitely enjoying the comfort that comes with civilian life for now~
Luna Lentz (c) Me
Artwork (c) razrroth
Colors (c) NorthboundFox
Please forgive, my inner perv has surfaced a little but I will say, MILK PILLOWS ^_^.
LOL, seriously? XD
Cool OC. I'm amazed she was able to pull that shirt down over those breasts!
Haha, well even with their size she's quite a tall woman, over six feet tall, I've got another image of her and a reference sheet in my gallery as well as a project in the works!
I just checked that reference sheet. Damn, 6' 3''! That's three inches taller than I am. Though it's probably due to her feet being digitigrade. Even so, I don't think her height has much bearing on how her shirt is able to contain her large breasts. I'm guessing it's a stretchy material. Cool. I look forward to seeing it.
It actually has more to do with her genetics more than anything, her ancestor was quite tall too and if there was a human version of Luna she would still be about the same height XD But her breast size just happens to appear larger in this particular image, either way she's quite the powerful woman regardless of her bust.
I see. Her ancestor? Is there a greater backstory here? I certainly wouldn't want to mess with her, big breasts or not.
Her ancestor is separated from her by about a 1400 years, but they're stories aren't connected at all.
OK. It's cool that you've put a lot of thought into your OC's background/lineage.
Since she's part of a larger setting I've had to put quite a lot of thought into her and several other characters I have, although all of their stories may not be connected of course, for Luna however the story that I plan to give her is a war story and it comes with many characters that most of my other OCs will never see outside of things like pictures, videos or perhaps read about them in books.
With her lineage though, much of the gap between her and Reyla I plan on ignoring, as it isn't integral to their stories (although I may decide to do something with it later) and as such for Luna what matters the most is her immediate family when he comes to her bloodline. This gives me less restrictions when it comes to character's in the past as less relationships and bonds are set in stone, allowing me to forge entirely new social webs and connections, build more nations from the ground up and tell stories that are not even mentioned or perhaps a tale that is only known by name or some other vague factor.
Impressive work~! And nice bust~! >w<
lol, it wouldn't be the bust that I would be focused on, I would be more worried about her potential to kick people's asses~
She's quite nice looking. X3
I've always wondered when I was making my story how Alan would be like in civillan life, but I couldn't picture it honestly.
As interesting as it can be to see characters who are warriors, soldiers, freedom fighters or many other things for much of their lives they life they may have had beforehand (unless they grew up in that kind of lifestyle) will have a huge affect on them later in life. Morals, beliefs, advice they were given by others they came across or knew, those they looked up to and more are all important factors when it comes to the civilian that came before the soldier.
I still think this would make a decent base for a milk advertisement. That cup isn't helping any.
Well I know I'm certainly not going to be making that advertisement anytime soon and quite honestly, I think she would prefer just to sign up for the Army... Besides, that's probably not milk in the cup anyway. XD More likely than not its just water.

I just don't understand it. Everywhere we turn, we conservatives are told we need to moderate, be less extreme, be more bipartisan. The public just wants us all to get along and solve our major problems together.
Democratic politicians and the liberal media harp on the alleged extremism of mainstream conservatism, the tea party, Sen. Ted Cruz, conservative talk radio and anyone else who dares to call out President Obama and his Democratic congressional cohorts in plain language for what they're doing to the country.
Nonsense. No one with a modicum of political power is more extreme than Obama's Democrats are, yet they pretend they're moderates who only want to work with Republicans for constructive bipartisan solutions.
President Obama, in his umpty-jillionth health care speech, told us Wednesday he is eager to work with Republicans: "Both parties working together to get the job done -- that's what we need in Washington right now."
Sure, we'll just ignore his admission that he wants to fundamentally change America and his five-year record of leftist extremism in doing just that. We'll overlook his brazen refusal even to come to the table to negotiate.
Yet Republican establishment politicians and center-right Beltway pundits pile on, constantly lecturing those of us to their right -- those more eager to fight than surrender -- to calm down, be more pragmatic and focus on the next election, when we can really show them. We must get ahold of ourselves and temper our passions. For if we stand up to this bully in the White House and give him some of his own medicine, if we fight for our principles to the point that the government shuts down, independents will turn away from us in droves, and we'll never win any more elections.
Does it ever occur to them that President Obama and his band of enabling Democrats set the standard for modern extremism in American politics and that they never tone down their positions? Do they ever wonder why the sainted independents don't leave Democrats in droves for standing up for their own principles -- as manifestly destructive as they are? Why do moderation and bipartisanship only apply to Republicans and Democrats get a free pass?
Republican Party insiders, strategists, operatives and head honchos seem particularly afflicted with the appeasement bug and are embarrassed by grass-roots conservatives, the tea party and intractable politicians such as Sens. Ted Cruz and Mike Lee, who refuse to blissfully join them in celebrating the glories of inaction and conciliation.

i Can tell u NO POTATOES, BEETROOT, RICE for sure. bitter guard is a good option if cooked with less oil.
All green vegetables, salads, soaked and sprouted methi seeds, sprouted green gram (both these are good eaten raw as salad), wheat chapatis not parathas, as for fruits half a guava, half a sweet lime or a little pomogranet
Most friuts are OK especially pomegranade but avoid overripe fruits especially watermelon. Also avoid potatoes and white rice. Good veges are okra and bitter melon(karela) and ALL dark green leafy vegetables like spinach.
Kharbooj is the best fruit and palak is the best vegetable.
It is no use geting confused over this, you will receive a lot of answers you want to hear, and some you dont like to believe. The best thing, is to go to a diabetologist and tell him that you want to consult a dietician, who will tell you the variety and also the quantity. Please also attend diabetes workshops that take place in your city from time to time.
For a diabetic Patient Green Vegetables are considered best,
Lauki, Bhindi,Nenua,Palak,Bathua,Mooli,Kachha Papita

A Indian product had been into a research process for DIABETIC CURE, and the promoter of the product too had the previlege of winning a award from USA perhaps for some other remedies too
CASE STUDY of DIABETIC CURE
DIVINE-HERBS for DIABETES (Research papers)
source: http://www.divine-herbs.com/id21.html
DH-1 is an amazing edible herbal mixture for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, which mitigates the underlying pathologies and complications associated with this condition. The composition comprises a synergistic mixture of three herbs: Black Seed (Nigella sativa), Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and Chicory (Cichorium intybus). Fenugreek and Black Seed are well known for their anti-diabetic properties. We believe that several synergistically acting compounds present in the herbal mixture are likely to be responsible for its pronounced anti-diabetic effects. It is used along with a diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in patients with type-2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). We have formulated the herbal capsules with all the original qualities of the respective herbs intact.
Benefits of DH-1:
Hypoglycemic effect (sugar lowering effect)
Regulate the blood sugar level
Improve pancreas function
Cholesterol-lowering effect
Improve spleen function
Strengthen digestion
Improve metabolism
Reduce tiredness
Counteract Thirst
In a non-clinical study, 150 patients with diabetes mellitus were given 4 grams/day of DH-1 for 12 weeks. After this period, most of the patients were able to control their blood glucose level with DH-1 alone and they were able to discontinue the use of conventional drugs. Also many patients experienced an alleviation of problems associated with high blood sugar levels, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, nerve pain and skin infections. It was also observed that some patients with type 1 diabetes were able to permanently discontinue taking insulin upon completion of a course of treatment with the DH-1.
The mechanism by which the herbal mixture operates is not exactly understood. However, it is theorized that DH-1 stimulates the pancreas to make its own insulin, interfere with carbohydrate absorption, and inhibit glucose transport. The ingredients in DH-1 have been the focus of numerous scientific studies validating their use.
Selected Scientific Studies
The blood sugar lowering effect of Black Seed and Fenugreek
Black Seed (Nigella sativa) also known as or Kalonji in Urdu and Hindi is one ingredient in the herbal mixture. The blood sugar lowering effect of this seed has been investigated in animal experiments, and the results have indicated that the seed extract is a useful therapeutic agent in the treatment of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus1-2. In a recent comparative study the hypoglycemic effect (blood sugar lowering effect) of the volatile oils of Black Seed (Nigella sativa) relative to the oral hypoglycemic drug glipizide (also known as glibense, glucotrol) was examined on alloxan-induced diabetic rat. Oral administration of the oil showed significant elevation of the serum insulin levels relative to glipizide alone. The activity of glipizide, however showed a significant increase in hypoglycemic effect when administrated together with Black Seed (Nigella sativa) oil3.
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is also known as Hilba in Arabic, Methi in Urdu and Sanskrit is another ingredient in the DH-1. There are several research centers studying Fenugreek hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering effects 4-9. Test results suggest it can improve peripheral glucose utilization, ....for more visit these links

I am a diabetic, and you can eat any green vegetable and as much of it as you want, but you can only eat it with a little salt and pepper or other spices, no cheeses. You can eat potatoes, but only a small baked one, and only a scoop of mashed. A good meal would be 8oz of baked chicken breast, an icecream scoop size of mashed potatoes or one small baked potato, a cup of any green vegetable or more if you like. A small roll or 1 slice of bread, and a cup of black coffee or a diet soda, or water. If you absolutely need butter, use a low fat margarine and be skimpy with it. You are allowed to eat fresh fruits, and they suggest your banana's be small or eat only half of one. They suggest you have your fruit at breakfast, and maybe as a snack later in the day.

Among vegetables, onions are said to be good...as good as insulin that regulates sugar release in the body... A yoga class notes reads "for diabetics spring beans, celery, cucumber, bittergourd, jambul fruit (black plum - particularly its seed dried and taken with butter milk), citrus fruits and green leafy vegetables are good..."
I have also heard from diabetic friends that among fruits guava is good (in spite of its sweetness) though weet fruits in general are not to be taken...
Among herbs wheat Grass juice is said to have a wonderful effect on diseases like diabetes (Dr Dhiren Gala a recipient of Gold medal for alternate therapy and others have written a book named Panacea on Earth - Wheat Grass Juice, Navneet Publications India Ltd., BS Road, Dadar, Mumbai 400028 phone 56626565)

Diabeties occurs due to the high level of sugar in the blood. Thus any fruit or vegetable which helps in reducing the amount of sugar in the blood is good for the patient. Try to eat food which consists of complex carbohydrates.Fiber is an important component of many diabetic diets. It is found only in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, beans and peas. Other sources include whole grain breads and brown rice. Dried beans, oat bran, barley, apples, citrus fruits and potatoes all have great advantages for the heart and for healthy cholesterol levels.
And yeh,limit your intake of meat, poultry and fish about three ounces a day. Try not to eat or consume anything or any food with high level of sugar in it such as sodas or coldrinks, candies etc.

In this book, International Master Cyrus Lakdawala invites you to join him in examining the many different variations of the Nimzo-Larsen. Lakdawala studies the typical plans and tactics for both sides, offers repertoire options for White, provides answers to all the key questions and tells you everything you need to know about playing the Nimzo-Larsen Attack.

Special Price $2.00GM Soltis: ''Against the King's Indian Defense and the Benoni Group(all of them: Czech, Modern, etc..)there is a simple, relatively new, yet ambitious setup that can be played effectively against each member of the family...the key element here is the bishop on d3(5.Bd3!)''. This book also tells you how to play against the Old Indian and Modern defenses. Learn More
CLEARANCE - Beating the Caro-Kann
Regular Price: $9.95
Special Price $2.00New opening ideas are created frequently, but few have had the meteoric career of Nigel Short's system against the Caro-Kann defense. Virtually unknown before 1988, it has become a regular customer in super tournaments since the 1990's. And yet it is so simple to handle that a Class B player can master most of the strategies in an afternoon. The British GM's system consists of playing the Advance variation of the Caro-Kann with a relatively modest form of development- modest yet it can pack quite a wallop. What short discovered was not just a new move, but a new concept. Despite the presence of the annoying bishop on the excellent b1-h7 diagonal, Black had not equalized, he announced. Short demonstrated that the bishop could, in fact, become a liability that would be attacked in the general expansion of white's pawns on the kingside. 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 Bf5(as well as 3..c5 and 3..Na6)-new strategy against each one. Learn More
CLEARANCE - New Sicilian Gambits
Regular Price: $8.95
Special Price $2.00GM Soltis: ''If white gets to attack in the Sicilian Defense anyway, why should he offer a pawn or two for the privilege? The answer is that black gets to counterplay in the Sicilian and his counterplay is usually as good as white's. That, in fact, is what makes the Sicilian popular. There are plenty of familiar Sicilian gambits(like the Smith Morra and Wing, which this book doesn't even cover). But in the last few years, a number of new ideas arising out of positional variations, have been discovered and found to pack a wallop for white''. Here are six new white gambits against the Sicilian that the reader will have to attempt to destroy black! Learn More
CLEARANCE - Beating the Sicilian Defense with the Short-Nunn Attack
Regular Price: $8.95
Special Price $2.00Wanted: Opening system needed to combat the most popular defense to 1.e4. Must be sound, flexible, and aggressive. Experience against all Black formations essential. GM's Short and Nunn came forward in the late 1980's and early 1990's to give us one catch-all system. First it was proven successful against one Black setup, and then against another and another. Its successes were registered at the highest levels. Fischer played it against Spassky in the 1992 return match! Still the most popular system against the Najdorf today. Learn More
CLEARANCE - Winning with the Reti Opening
Regular Price: $8.95
Special Price $2.00Smith & Hall: ''Nowadays the Reti(1.Nf3 d5 2.c4) is a staple opening of many strong GM's in top tournament play. There is a steady stream of theoretical discoveries for both White and Black. In this book we analyze in depth the main lines of play in this opening. Often we give several good choices for white - just in case Black finds a ''new move'' in a main line setting. By thorough study of this book you will be well armed to outmaneuver your opponent with White, in the complex and fascinating pathways of the hypermodern Reti.'' Learn More

Chess Opening Books
The first phase of a chess game is known as the Chess Opening. It is during
this phase of the chess game that the initial moves are made. Similarly, those
moves are commonly referred to in the chess world as the "Chess Opening".
While there are literally billions of possible positions after the first 4 moves
have been made in a game of chess (288 billion to be exact), only a small number
of these chess openings have been studied by chess professionals and chess
computers and deemed to be sound for practical play.
To help differentiate one chess opening from another, each chess opening is given a unique name to identify it. While it is common for a chess opening to be named after the player/s that introduced them to popular play, including the Benko Gambit (after Grandmaster Pal Benko), the Sicilian Najdorf (named after Grandmaster Miguel Najdorf) and the Philidor Defense (named after Francois-Andre Danican Philidor), this is not always the case Some chess openings are named after the locations and/or cultures in which they originated, including the London System, the French Defense, the Sicilian Defense, The English Opening and the Vienna Game. While others are named after the pieces that are moved during that opening, including the Queen's Pawn Gambit and the King's Indian Defense.
There are 6 basic objectives during the chess opening. They are Piece Development, Control of the Center of the Board, King Safety, Prevention of Pawn Weakness, Piece Coordination and to Create positions in which the player is more comfortable than the opponent.

Tucson - Considering the trials and tribulations of many of his bullpen brethren, Manny Corpas has had an easy time of it this spring.
After pitching a scoreless ninth inning in the Rockies' 3-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday, the right-hander stretched his scoreless streak to seven innings. In his seven spring appearances, he has allowed three hits, struck out five and walked four.
"I feel a lot better now because I've gotten more opportunities this spring," Corpas said. "And I think I'm better now, because I learned a lot in my three months with the Rockies last year. I am also using my sinker better now than ever."
The slender, 6-foot-4, Panamanian never pitched above Single-A ball before last season. But by the end of 2006 he was a Rockies bullpen staple, going 1-2 with a 3.62 ERA in 35 appearances.
Given last season's accomplishments and the numbers he's posting now, Corpas is a favorite to secure one of the two remaining spots in the bullpen. The other competitors are Ramon Ramirez and former starter Byung-Hyun Kim, who was moved to the bullpen on Friday.
"I would say he's made steady progress, but I wouldn't categorize it as terrific," pitching coach Bob Apodaca said. "What's the name of that TV show? 'Nip and Tuck'? Manny needs a few little nips and tucks."
Specifically, Corpas, 24, has to formulate a better game plan, especially against left-handers.
"One of the things he did well last year was throw that breaking ball with a good downward tilt to it," Apodaca said. "I haven't seen enough of that this spring."
Interest in Barmes
Shortstop Clint Barmes, optioned to Triple-A on Friday, is continuing to draw interest from the Texas Rangers. But according to a major-league source, the Rockies continue to seek starting-shortstop value for Barmes, and that's putting a crimp in the Rockies' ability to trade him.
Blog: All Things Rockies
Troy Renck posts analysis, notes and minutiae on this blog devoted to the Colorado Rockies.
On Saturday, Kim voiced his displeasure about the Rockies moving him to the bullpen after they awarded Josh Fogg the No. 5 starter job. But Kim pitched a hitless, scoreless inning in a "B" game against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday morning.
"He was very sharp and he had good stuff," Apodaca said. "Actually, he's thrown pretty well his last two times out. I'm encouraged."
Starting assignments
No. 3 starter Rodrigo Lopez's spring numbers have been shaky so far this spring, but he put in a quality effort in the "B" game against a White Sox lineup that included regulars Paul Konerko, Alex Cintron, A.J. Pierzynski and Pablo Ozuna.
"He cruised," said one scout, who consistently clocked Lopez at 88-91 mph.
The right-hander pitched the final seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits. He struck out four and walked none. Lopez retired 12 straight and 15 of 16 at one point before allowing a run in the ninth. Most important, he kept the ball down, something he's struggled to do much of the spring.
Lopez entered the game with a 9.00 ERA, with opponents batting .352 against him.
Brian Lawrence, who is to begin this season on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Colorado Springs, started the "A" game against the Diamondbacks. He allowed three runs on five hits in six innings. He made two mistakes, and Eric Byrnes made him pay by belting two homers.
Lawrence said he was encouraged by the outing and thrilled that his shoulder felt so strong.
Rookie shortstop Troy Tulo- witzki, named starting shortstop Friday, got another boost Sunday when he was named winner of the 2007 Abby Greer Award as the Rockies' spring training MVP. Despite going 0-for-4 on Sunday, Tulowitzki is hitting .310. ... In the "B" game, closer Brian Fuentes struck out two of the three batters he faced, including Konerko. ... Sunday was the exhibition finale at Hi Corbett Field. The Rockies travel to Phoenix today to play Oakland. Right-hander Jason Hirsh goes against the A's Chad Gaudin.

(aged 70)
Atlantic City, New Jersey
Horace Harmon Lurton (February 26, 1844 – July 12, 1914) was an American jurist who served for four years as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Appointed at the age of 65, Lurton was the oldest justice appointed to the Court.
Lurton was born in Newport, Kentucky, the son of a physician turned clergyman. He was a Sergeant Major in the Confederate Army during the Civil War, serving in the 5th Tennessee Infantry, 2nd Kentucky Infantry, and 3rd Kentucky Cavalry. He was twice captured by Union forces, the second time sent as a prisoner of war to Johnson's Island Prison Camp in Sandusky Bay, Ohio. He was later paroled by President Lincoln because of pleas for mercy from his mother.
Education and early practice[edit]
Before the war, Lurton attended Douglas University and earned an LL.B. in 1867 at Cumberland School of Law, then part of Cumberland University but now part of Samford University. At Cumberland he was a member of Beta Theta Pi. Lurton then practiced law in Clarksville, Tennessee.
Career as a judge[edit]
In 1875, Lurton left private practice after being chosen as a judge of the Tennessee Chancery Court for the Sixth Chancery Division. After three years, Lurton then returned to his practice until 1886, when he was appointed to the Tennessee Supreme Court.
In 1893, Lurton was appointed by President Grover Cleveland to a federal appellate judgeship on the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. While still on that court, Lurton first taught at and later served as dean of the Vanderbilt University School of Law from 1905 to 1909.
Supreme Court service[edit]
In 1909, Lurton's friend, President William Howard Taft, named him to a seat on the Supreme Court that had been vacated by the death of Justice Rufus Wheeler Peckham. It was the first of Taft's five Supreme Court appointments, six if one counts the elevation of Edward White to Chief Justice, and surprised some observers because unlike Taft, Lurton was a Democrat. Taft's attorney general George W. Wickersham said that at 66, Lurton was too old to become a Supreme Court justice, but Taft had always admired him. According to the Complete Book of U.S. Presidents (2001 edition), Taft later said that "the chief pleasure of my administration" was the appointment of Lurton.
Lurton sided most frequently on the court with Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.,[2] a progressive Supreme Court justice. The most notable opinion he authored was probably the opinion of the Court in Coyle v. Smith, 221 U.S. 559 (1911), which held that the federal government could not tell a state where to locate its capital, as that all states must be on "equal footing."
Lurton took his seat on the Court at the beginning of 1910. His tenure on the Court was brief, as he served only four years before dying in Atlantic City, New Jersey of a sudden heart attack, in 1914. According to his obituary in The New York Times (July 13, 1914, p. 1), he had been in poor health since the previous December, suffering from asthma and then pneumonia.
- Lurton was a family friend of noted historian and jurist Samuel Cole Williams.

Olympus Mons is a giant mound of red dirt and rock. This volcanic behemoth is 24,000 meters, or 80,000 feet tall, which makes it almost 15 miles high. Everest is a mere dwarf in comparison. This giant Martian volcano is either a mountain climber's wildest dream, or worst nightmare.

It's the best place to get locally grown food in the area.

This market has a great variety of locally grown and freshly made products. For example, there is an Amish dairy farmer who not only offers fresh milk, but handmade yogurt, butter, cheese... and his wife makes the most divine ice cream. No flavor added, just pure creamy goodness. So fresh you can taste the grass the cow ate that morning. Then you go to the next table and get a box of ripe, juicy strawberries, which you can smell long before you see them. Take a break and walk one block to the Penn State campus, sit in grass in the shade of a giant, old tree, and devour the strawberries and ice cream. Rested and refreshed, you now head back into the market bustle and find the outstanding heirloom tomatoes, available in all stripes (literally, the zebra variety is striped), to have for dinner with some freshly picked spinach and freshly baked bread (all from the farmers market)... if you can stand to alter their perfection with anything but a sprinkle of salt. Before heading home, pick up a fruit pie, some yogurt and those killer peaches for dessert (and breakfast). There's nothing like it. Man, I can't wait till Friday!

While it is certainly a wonderful inviting place for buying fresh local vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers, handcrafted honey, fresh trout, raw dairy, and assorted other goodies, it is also a place to gather with community. Going to market is stepping into a neighborhood of like-minded, loyal and appreciative shoppers who are also a community of friends.

Toddler squeezes through White House fence, causes security alert
Throngs of Secret Service agents are always on watch for suspicious packages near the White House gates, and anyone who might be looking to infiltrate the grounds, says the Washington Post.
But Thursday night, they had a slightly smaller-scale security breach to contend with: a toddler who squeezed through the fence in the front of the residence.
The brief kerfuffle as agents scrambled to intercept the pint-sized intruder confirms what most people know: toddlers are sneaky, and fast. This one was promptly returned to his parents.

Dear Google:
A few years ago -- years, wow -- Google Reader was one of my go-to social networks. It was an accidental one. I was using it for its intended purpose -- aggregating and reading a lot of web content in one place -- but it turns out, a lot of other people were doing the same thing. A lot. Many of which shared interests and when you added the amazing (amazing!) share and comment features, Google Reader blossomed into a wonderful experience for many of us, core to our day-to-day consumption of content online.
Unfortunately, you decided to kill those "extra" functions. I'm not here to ask you to reverse that (you should, though). In doing so, Google Reader's day-to-day value declined, and I, like many, ended up using it less often. Instead of hitting the bookmarklet I have on my Chrome install three, four times a day, it's now a once a day (okay, once every other day more often, recently) experience.
But it's still a core part of my Internet use. And of the many, many others who are signed below.
Our confidence in Google's other products -- Gmail, YouTube, and yes, even Plus -- requires that we trust you in respecting how and why we use your other products. This isn't just about our data in Reader. This is about us using your product because we love it, because it makes our lives better, and because we trust you not to nuke it.
So, please don't destroy that trust. You're a huge corporation, with a market cap which rivals the GDP of nations. You're able to dedicate 20% of your time to products which may never seen the light of day. You experiment in self-driving cars and really cool eyewear which we trust (trust!) you'll use in a manner respectful to our needs, interests, etc.
Show us you care.
Don't kill Google Reader.

Rams Agree to Terms with TE McMichael, S Johnson
Thursday, March 8, 2007
By Nick Wagoner
Senior Writer
McMichael Career Profile
Johnson Career Profile
The Rams made a pair of significant moves to bolster both sides of the ball on Thursday, agreeing to terms with tight end Randy McMichael to a three-year contract and safety Todd Johnson to a four-year deal.
The addition of McMichael gives the Rams yet another big target in the passing game to pair with recently signed receiver Drew Bennett.
This has been in the works for a while, coach Scott Linehan said. We even considered trading for him. He is an every-down tight end and a proven starter in the league. He does a lot of things well.
McMichael comes to St. Louis from Miami after being released on March 6. McMichael spent his first five seasons with the Dolphins, for whom he earned a reputation as one of the leagues better pass catching tight ends.
In his time there, McMichael had 283 receptions (tops all time for a Miami tight end) for 3,096 yards and 18 touchdowns. His best season came in 2004 when he finished with 73 grabs for 791 yards and four scores.
Last season, McMichael had 62 catches for 640 yards and three touchdowns. At 63, 255 pounds, McMichael is an imposing presence in the passing game, but also an able blocker.
The scouting service, Scouts Inc., described McMichael as playing with balance and control on the second level in the run game. In other words, McMichael is a solid open field blocker and a bit better in that aspect than he is as an inline blocker. The service has McMichael ranked as the fifth best tight end in the NFL.
McMichael joins a crowded group at tight end that includes second-year players Joe Klopfenstein and Dominique Byrd as well as veteran Aaron Walker. Only three of those players are likely to stick and its doubtful that Klopfenstein is going anywhere anytime soon.
The signing of McMichael is the second big addition to the offense this offseason and gives the Rams an impressive array of pass catching talent that includes receivers Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt and Bennett, running back Steven Jackson and Klopfenstein and McMichael.
While any offensive needs appear to have been addressed (with the exception of more help at running back), the Rams are likely to turn their attention to defense in the coming days and weeks.
That became clear with the other move the Rams made Thursday when they signed Johnson to a four-year deal. Johnson comes to the Rams from Chicago, where he served as a backup safety and special teams dynamo for the past three seasons.
For his career, Johnson has 142 tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. His main area of expertise comes in special teams coverage. He started 10 games at free safety in 2004 because of an injury to Mike Brown. He has 26 special teams tackles in three seasons, third best on the Bears.
Johnson should fit in as the Rams third safety behind starters Corey Chavous and Oshiomogho Atogwe and step in immediately on special teams.
Tennessee defensive lineman Robaire Smith is expected to make a stop in St. Louis in the near future. Smith is 64, 325 pounds and can play anywhere along the defensive line. He would likely fit the bill as a run stuffing nose tackle in the Rams 4-3 scheme. He has previously visited with Cleveland earlier this week, a team believed to have strong interest in his services.

grunt-webdriver is a grunt plugin to run selenium tests with the WebdriverIO test runner
grunt-webdriver is a grunt plugin to run selenium tests with the WebdriverIO testrunner, called wdio
This plugin requires Grunt
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install --save-dev grunt-webdriver
This grunt plugin only runs with WebdriverIO >=v3.x. Make sure you have the latest WebdriverIO version installed as dependency:
In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named
webdriver to the data
object passed into
grunt.initConfig(). Your test should contain a
property with a path to your wdio config. You can pass in additional options
as cli arguments.
Run this task with the
grunt webdriver command.
gruntinitConfig webdriver: test: configFile: './test/wdio.conf.js' // ...
The plugin is an easy helper to run WebdriverIO tests using the wdio test runner. You can find more information about the test runner on our docs page.
To use a cloud service like Sauce Labs make sure you define
host and
port properties like in the example below as well as authenticate yourself with your username and key.
gruntinitConfig webdriver: options: user: SAUCE_USERNAME key: SAUCE_ACCESS_KEY test: configFile: './test/wdio.conf.js' // ...
All options get passed into to the wdio process. You should define your main configurations within your wdio config file. The plugin allows you to easy overwrite them. You can find all available cli arguments here: http://webdriver.io/guide/testrunner/gettingstarted.html
If you like to write your tests in CoffeeScript just add the following on the top of your Gruntfile and you are set.
require'coffee-script/register'; // Project configuration. gruntinitConfig // ... ;
Please fork, add specs, and send pull requests! In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style.
