Bucks revive too late, lose to Celtics, 102-96
Boston - A solid first half went to waste when the Bucks were blitzed in the third quarter, leading to a 102-96 loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night at TD Garden.
Brandon Bass and Kevin Garnett dominated the Bucks in the post and Milwaukee's offense fell apart, making just 5 of 22 shots in the quarter as the Celtics transformed a four-point halftime deficit into a 10-point lead.

Future of Mormonism
Mormon Studies: Catching the New Wave
But what will the general landscape of Mormon studies look like over the next couple of decades? Generally speaking, I think what Brian Birch refers to as "methodological anarchy" is about as helpful a way of describing it as I'm aware of. Methodological anarchy is shorthand for the idea that a massive diversity in the kinds of scholarly inquiries should be both permitted and encouraged. I think the anarchy has already begun in a very limited way, but alongside a few new flowers that are just now coming into bloom, many more will emerge that can contribute to the project of understanding the rich tapestry of Mormonism. Indeed, in order to accomplish this, a multiplicity of methodological approaches is absolutely necessary -- e.g., ritual studies, feminism, psychology, philosophy of religion, scriptural-textual analysis, anthropology, theology, ethics, political philosophy, etc. As such, transdisciplinary work will also have an important role to play, especially as individual methodologies realize the limits of their possibilities.
In his "Undercurrents and Riptides" Bushman puts it like this, "Of course, we don't know exactly where all this will lead. This really is the first generation. It is quite likely that this will produce a new burst of scholarly literature that could be called 'New Wave Mormon Studies' . . . I personally think we are in for a thrilling efflorescence of work in new fields, using new methods, and throwing new light on the meaning of Mormonism." On any reasonable accounting, the small ripple that began over a half a century ago has seen a tremendous amount of growth over the past decade. There will undoubtedly be unexpected and challenging currents to confront as the momentum continues, but based on the present state of affairs there is every reason to believe that this wave is far from reaching its crest.
Richard T. Livingston is a Ph.D. student at Claremont Graduate University's School of Religion studying Philosophy of Religion and Theology. Most broadly construed, his academic interests are located in the complex interstices between religion and philosophy, theology and metaphysics, and, peripherally, their points of contact with science.

Getting rid of a 'double chin' is a matter of exercising more and watching what you eat. You cannot do what is called spot reduction. This means that the body will burn fat as a whole, not in one specific area that you are focusing on. Since weight loss (or losing body fat) is a matter of burning more calories than you consume, you are better off doing lunges to get rid of a double chin than any kind of neck exercise or infomercial contraption.
Focus on adhering to a well-rounded strength training and cardio program and watch what you eat. I highly recommend tracking your food using online software. It helps to see the amount of food you consume each day.

How is melanoma skin cancer staged?

How is melanoma skin cancer treated?
What are the survival rates for melanoma skin cancer, by stage?
Survival rates are often used by doctors as a standard way of discussing a person's prognosis (outlook). Some people may want to know the survival statistics for people in similar situations, while others may not find the numbers helpful, or may even not want to know them. If you don't want to know them, stop reading here and skip to the next section.
The 5-year and 10-year survival rates refer to the percentage of patients who live at least this long after their cancer is diagnosed. Of course, many people live much longer than 5 or 10 years (and many are cured).
To get 5- and 10-year survival rates, doctors have to look at people who were treated at least 5 or 10 years ago. Improvements in treatment since then may result in a better outlook for people being diagnosed with melanoma now.
Survival rates are often based on previous outcomes of large numbers of people who had the disease, but they can't predict what will happen in any person's case. Many factors other than the stage of the melanoma can also affect a person's outlook, such as the genetic changes in the cancer cells and how well the cancer responds to treatment. Even when taking these other factors into account, survival rates are at best rough estimates. Your doctor can tell you how the numbers below apply to you, as he or she knows your situation best.
The following survival rates are based on nearly 60,000 patients who were part of the 2008 AJCC Melanoma Staging Database. These are observed survival rates. They include some people diagnosed with melanoma who may have later died from other causes, such as heart disease. Therefore, the percentage of people surviving the melanoma itself may be higher.
Stage IA: The 5-year survival rate is around 97%. The 10-year survival is around 95%.
Stage IB: The 5-year survival rate is around 92%. The 10-year survival is around 86%.
Stage IIA: The 5-year survival rate is around 81%. The 10-year survival is around 67%.
Stage IIB: The 5-year survival rate is around 70%. The 10-year survival is around 57%.
Stage IIC: The 5-year survival rate is around 53%. The 10-year survival is around 40%.
Stage IIIA: The 5-year survival rate is around 78%. The 10-year survival is around 68%.*
Stage IIIB: The 5-year survival rate is around 59%. The 10-year survival is around 43%.
Stage IIIC: The 5-year survival rate is around 40%. The 10-year survival is around 24%.
Stage IV: The 5-year survival rate is about 15% to 20%. The 10-year survival is about 10% to 15%. The outlook is better if the spread is only to distant parts of the skin or distant lymph nodes rather than to other organs, and if the blood level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is normal.
*The survival rate is higher for stage IIIA cancers than for some stage II cancers. This is likely because the main (primary) tumor is often less advanced for IIIA cancers, although this is not clear.
Other factors affecting survival
Other factors aside from stage can also affect survival. For example:
- Older people generally have shorter survival times, regardless of stage. The biggest drop in survival begins at age 70.
- Melanoma is uncommon among African Americans, but when it does occur, survival times tend to be shorter than when it occurs in whites. Some studies have found that melanoma tends to be more serious if it occurs on the sole of the foot or palm of the hand, or if it is in a nail bed. (Cancers in these areas make up a larger portion of melanomas in African Americans than in whites.)
- People with melanoma who have weakened immune systems, such as people who have had organ transplants or who are infected with HIV, also are at greater risk of dying of their melanoma.

Greenbriar Capital Completes Acquisition Of Blue Mountain, Utah Wind Energy Project
NEWPORT BEACH, CA, Aug. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Greenbriar Capital Corp. (TSXV: GRB) (OTC: GEBRF) is pleased to announce that on August 2nd, 2013, it has completed the formal acquisition agreement of the 80 Megawatt Blue Mountain, Utah Wind Energy Project, USA ("Blue Mountain"). Blue Mountain is a fully contracted 80 MW wind project that has a 20-year power purchase agreement with PacifiCorp executed on July 3rd, 2013. The Blue Mountain project includes all discretionary permits, eight (8) individual Land Leases and Option to Purchase Agreements, a fully executed 20-year 80-MW Power Purchase Agreement with PacifiCorp, six (6) years of meteorological data and studies, a completed System Impact Study, completed environmental work, the receipt of seven (7) supply term sheets from top tier wind turbine vendors and a draft financing mandate from a world class financial institution.The acquisition of Blue Mountain was completed through Greenbriar Capital Corp's wholly owned US subsidiary, Greenbriar Capital Holdco Inc., which signed a definitive membership interest purchase agreement with Champlin Windpower, LLC of Santa Barbara, California. Michael Cutbirth is the president and CEO of Champlin Windpower as well as President and CEO of Champlin / GEI Wind Holdings, LLC and has a longstanding relationship with the management of Greenbriar. Mr. Cutbirth has been in the wind energy industry for 18 years and was a former director of the American Wind Energy Association ("AWEA"). The Champlin companies are actively developing a number of new wind energy projects in the western U.S. and Hawaii. The Acquisition Agreement has immediately granted Greenbriar, a 50% interest. The Agreement then allows Greenbriar to perform two (2) milestone tasks, which will then increase the ownership interest up to 100%. The initial 50% interest was funded to Greenbriar by way of a 3-year loan to prevent share dilution and bears interest at 10% per year.

GeForce GTX 580 review -
Lord of the Cards - The return of the king?
When NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX 480 in Q1 2010, their worst fears became reality. The high-end Fermi part was launched and then was gutted and slaughtered over three trivial aspects; those being high-power consumption, loud noise levels and a GPU that ran far too hot.
The flipside of that coin was the fact that the performance was actually spot on. To date the GeForce GTX 480 is the fastest kid on the DX11 block offering stunning performance. Yet the dark clouds that started hovering above the Fermi launch was something they never got rid of, up until the GeForce GTX 460 launch.
That made the GeForce GTX 480 probably the worst selling high-end graphics card series to date for NVIDIA. Throughout the year we've reviewed a good number GTX 480 cards and we've always tried to be very fair. We firmly (not Fermi) believe that if NVIDIA addressed the heat and noise levels from the get go, the outcome and overall opinion of the GTX 480 would have been much more positive as more enthusiast targeted end users can live with that somewhat high TDP. Good examples of these are KFA2's excellent GeForce GTX 480 Anarchy and more recently the MSI GTX 480 Lightning and soon Gigabyte's GTX 480 SOC.
However, the damage was done and NVIDIA needed to refocus, redesign and improve the GF100 silicon. They went back to the drawing board, made the design more efficient and at transistor level made some significant changes. As a result they were able to slightly lower the TDP, increase the shader processor count and increase the overall clock frequency on both core and memory domains.
The end result is the product you've all been hearing about for weeks now, the GeForce GTX 580. A product that is more silent then the GTX 280/285/480 you guys are so familiar with, a product that keeps temperatures under control slightly better and noise levels that overall are really silent. All that still based on the 40nm fabrication node, while offering over 20% more performance compared to the reference GeForce GTX 480.
Will NVIDIA have it right this time? Well they'd better hope so, as real soon AMD's Cayman aka Radeon HD 6970 is being released as well. These two cards will go head to head with each other in both price and performance, at least that's what we hope.
Exciting times with an exciting product, head on over to the next page where we'll start up a review on the product that NVIDIA unleashes today, the GeForce GTX 580.

Ferguson: this is what losing democracy looks like
(orig. posted in Tikkun online) by: Michael N. Nagler on August 21st, 2014 Some time back in the early fifties the U.S. Navy conducted an "exercise" to test bacterial warfare…in San Francisco! They sprayed bacterial agents into the fog over the Bay to "see what would happen." Sure enough, some people got sick, and one elderly gentleman died. … read more
Israel and Palestine Can Never Be Secure Until Both Are Secure
Published on Truthout on August 4, 2014. Palestinian children try to pull a praying carpet out from the rubble of the Imam Shafi'i Mosque in Gaza City, Aug. 2, 2014. (Photo: Sergey Ponomarev / The New York Times) In The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas, the short story by Ursula Le Guin about an imaginary… read more
Tragedy and Humanity in Hebron
A little over a week ago I stood in the South Hebron Hills not far from the spot where, we now know, three Israeli teens had been put to death, assumedly by operatives of the Palestinian organization Hamas (though that is far from proven at this time). I was visiting a prominent nonviolent Palestinian activist… read more
Imagining the Unimaginable
Last week the quiet town of Waseca, MN narrowly avoided becoming "one more in a long list of school shootings" (I will come back to this language of the CNN report). A boy, 17 years old, had plotted to kill his family and bomb the town's junior and senior high school, to "kill as many students… read more
My Homage to Martin Luther King Jr.
My Homage to MLK by Michael N. Nagler I never knew Martin Luther King, Jr., but I grew up politically in his America. My personal awakening to nonviolence came one day in Greenwich Village when I happened to listen in to a radio broadcast covering a Civil Rights rally going on somewhere down south. A… read more
Trayvon Martin: The Neglected Story that Implicates Us All
After World War II, US Navy personnel carried out an experiment in germ warfare. They spent several days spraying lethal bacteria into the fog around San Francisco Bay. The "experiment" killed at least one person, whose grandchildren sued the government years later when the facts became public under the Freedom of Information Act. Norman Cousins… read more
Who was Badshah Khan?
Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan came to be known, over his objections, as the "Frontier Gandhi." (Wikimedia) If you watched Malala Yousafzai's much discussed and inspiring speech to the United Nations last week, you may have heard this courageous teenager — who was shot by the Taliban for promoting girls' education — refer to Badshah Khan as a… read more
Unity in Diversity
Unity in diversity (the term seems to have been coined by the philosopher Hegel) is a central aspect of the nonviolent worldview. In nature, unity in diversity is an essential organizing principle of Life. At first appearance, of course, it is a bit paradoxical: on the one hand the mystics of all ages, along… read more
Could the Sea Be Conscious?
The deeper science peers into the universe, whether it be the remotest reaches of space or the sea's depths the more we must marvel at the intricate, subtle, and marvelous texture of reality. This study confirms for us once again that cooperation has been and remains a far more potent factor in life and evolution… read more
