Five places we love for cocktails… and a great meal.
1. Celeste
Attention to detail abounds at this gorgeous multistory River North newcomer—from its Louis Sullivan-inspired metalwork to its gold-leaf ceiling. That same mentality applies to the drink menu (check out the cool stemware) and food, including our favorite dish, baby octopus with crispy chickpeas and blood orange romesco. 111 W. Hubbard St., 312.828.9000
2. Billy Sunday
Who would've thought fine-dining vet Matthias Merges would know the ins and outs of running a bar. But when you think about it, there's a reason this pint-size Logan Square spot never fails to impress with its perfectly balanced cocktails and concise but mighty menu of small plates, including the terrific bread and butter pickles. 3143 W. Logan Blvd., 773.661.2485
3. Three Dots and a Dash
With an extensive menu full of potent and meticulously made tiki drinks from cocktail master Paul McGee, it's hard to stop at just one (go ahead, we dare you). Thankfully, with the equally creative food offerings (we're partial to the coconut shrimp and Polynesian spare ribs), we don't have to. 435 N. Clark St., 312.610.4220
4. CH Distillery
It couldn't have been easy to become Chicago's first (and only!) distillery/cocktail bar, but we're glad the founders of this West Loop spot did. Grab a seat at the bar and pay your respects to the stills behind the window with any one of its terrific cocktails coupled with booze-friendly fare from chef JP Doiron, including pillowy gnocchi with mushrooms. 564 W. Randolph St., 312.707.8780
5. The Berkshire Room
Just beyond the doors of the Mag Mile's Acme Hotel, you'll find one of the city's most progressive cocktail lists (thanks Benjamin Schiller!), an Old World vibe and a "snacks" menu that's more than its name indicates. Order the Double Barrel Manhattan and the foie gras torchon and you'll see what we mean. 15 E. Ohio St., 312.894.0945

In a January 31 press release, Melissa Brouse, who is on the PR team at Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, said that the new snow at the resorts has allowed Squaw to open some popular terrain.
In the press release, Brouse had this to say:
"Squaw Valley will open four new lifts for skiing and riding on Saturday following this week's storm that brought 10 inches of fresh snow to both Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows. The new chairlift openings include Shirley Lake Express, Siberia Express, and Mountain Meadow. Skiing and riding will also be offered from the Aerial Tram, which will provide access to Mountain Meadow lift and Mountain Run, the longest run at Squaw Valley. All lifts, including the Aerial Tram, are scheduled to be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The new openings provide access to some of Squaw's most popular terrain. Mountain Meadow lift services the mountain-top beginner area, giving first-time skiers and riders the opportunity to progress amid stunning views of Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada. Off of Shirley Lake Express, skiers and riders will find five wide, tree-cut runs, perfect for intermediate to advanced skiers and riders. Siberia Run and Siberia Bowl will be open off of Siberia Express, offering wide, open terrain for advanced skiers and riders."
This is especially good news for the more advance skiers and riders. Due to snow conditions, expert terrain has been mostly lacking at Tahoe area ski resorts.
In particular, the Shirley Lake Express is simply a gorgeous run during ski season. It is also a very popular and somewhat demanding hike that follows Shirley Creek the rest of the year.
The Mountain Run is a very good, very long trail that appeals to all types of skiers. Long and not overly technical, it's the place to link quite a few turns together for a wonderful cruise down the mountain.
In addition to the newly opened terrain, Brouse said that the resorts are offering a combined total of 24 lifts for the skiing and boarding crowd. Snowtubing and mini-snowmobiles are options as well. For off the slope activities, there are shopping and dining in the Village at Squaw Valley.
Wanderlust Yoga Studio at Squaw, open 7 days a week, runs 19 yoga classes each week, a perfect place to unwind the ski and board muscles after a few days cutting turns on the legendary slopes of the resorts.

Tim Rogers Is Out of Control
I didn't want to be the one to post this, but nobody else around here seems willing. Let's call it an intervention. Tim really hasn't been himself lately. Arrogant, dictatorial, able to fly off the handle at any minute–yes, he was already all those things, but it's been even worse in the last two days. […]Read More

Back from a successful three-track EP release on Kitsuné, Sydney producer Felix Bloxsom, professionally known as Plastic Plates, takes on the duties of remixing the second single from The Presets' latest studio album.
Providing a clean and relatively safe cut compared to the rest of the upcoming remix package, Bloxsom's clean cut House grooves and bubbly lead play are not to be casually dismissed. With solid and uplifting exuberance, his approach matches the perky top line of 'Promises' and makes for a worthy injection of up and coming talent to this high-profile release from a down-under favourite.
6 Comments to "Free Download: The Presets – Promises (Plastic Plates Remix)"
Pure bliss. That vocal is insane
Insane !
But not in 320?
These were ideal for my marriage. I used these in contrast to using glasses and I don't repent it for a second. No fresh up afterwards and they are fairly resilient.

Lingle Vetoes Just Political Theatre
Wednesday - May 13, 2009
This column is about political theatre. But before I get to that, allow me to get personal.
I'm not much a travelin' man, but I've been around a bit in my time: I spent nights in Chicago (often), San Francisco (a few times), Washington (maybe five times), Seattle (twice), Indianapolis, Toronto, Milwaukee and assorted other cities (once each). In making my decision to stay in each of these cities, I can't remember ever checking the town's hotel room tax rate.
Now, I know that's hard to believe - particularly if you read the recent essay by Doc Kelly on the disastrous effect raising the hotel room tax would have on Hawaii's tourist industry. It would cripple us, he argued.
Of course, our tourist industry is limping badly with the hotel room tax we already have. But anyone with a functioning, unself-interested brain knows the reason for our economic slump is to be found in causes far, far deeper than our hotel room tax.
Long before our current crisis, Kelly and the rest of Hawaii's tourist industry argued for years against any hotel room tax at all. And their argument was always the same: Folks would stop coming to Hawaii, stop seeking our beaches, sunsets, friendly people and glorious vistas if we deigned to levy a single percent of hotel room tax.
They went further. They poured invective on the loudest proponent of hotel room tax - then Honolulu Mayor Frank Fasi - and oodles of money into the campaign coffers of any politician who would oppose - and perhaps exile Fasi from the political scene.
Ultimately, of course, we got a hotel room tax, and the sky didn't fall. Our visitor numbers continued to rise: to 5 million per year, 6 million, 7 million. Our visitor numbers are falling now, but the decline has nothing to do with our hotel room tax rate. Nor will it if we raise the rate, as the Legislature suggests, from 12 percent to 14 percent over the next two years.
At 14 percent, it will still trail New York and the Jersey Shore (21 percent), San Francisco and Los Angeles (19 percent each), San Diego (18 percent), Nashville, Sacramento, Houston and Columbus (17 percent each).
Now let's talk houses. The Bank of Hawaii, my wife and I own a modest house in Pearl City. Some folks a couple of years ago valued our fragile, single-walled, three-and-one-half bedroom at $600,000. It sure isn't that now. But we don't really care. We're not moving anywhere; we're not selling. Our little home will end up the possession of our children (and perhaps the Bank of Hawaii).
Now the Legislature this session passed a conveyance tax hike on the sale of homes in the $2 million range. That's not the Boylans, nor is it our neighbors to the immediate east of us or to the west of us.
The Legislature also passed an increase in personal income taxes on individuals making $150,000 per year, couples making $300,000. The wife and I, in our middle 60s, made - as a couple - in the neighborhood of $150,000 last year for the first and probably the last time in our lives. No state income tax hike for us, prosperous, comparatively, as we are.
Who, then, would see an increase in their taxes? Visitors who, I would argue, don't consider the hotel room tax rate when deciding whether or not to visit Hawaii; owners of real estate valued at $2 million (rich folks, that seems to me), and individuals making $150,000 or couples making $300,000 per year (semi-rich folks?).
So last Thursday Gov. Linda Lingle gathered "a boisterous crowd" of 400 in the Capitol atrium and vetoed all three tax measures: one on the rich, one on the semi-rich and one on the unconcerned visitor. The crowd chanted: "Veto! Veto! Veto!" Said the governor: "They (the Democratic members of the Legislature) can't tax their way out of this economic crisis."
No, they can't. But neither can a faux populist tax revolt in the Capitol atrium do much to get us "out this economic crisis" either. It's shilling for the rich. It's political theatre.
Which is not a bad thing. Frank Fasi put on wonderful political theatre as mayor. He'd don a cowboy hat, stick his pipe in his mouth and take the wheel of a brand new bus, the first of a fleet of them purchased by the city - buses that would carry working class people to their jobs. And ol' Frank would grab a hoe, proclaim himself the friend "of the little guy," and drag the press to a municipal garden where any renter or public housing resident could mark out a plot on city property and grow vegetables for his family.
That was populist political theatre of the highest order. We need more of it in these difficult times.

New spoilers are out for "General Hospital." On Feb. 3, Soap Opera Digest revealed that if head writer Ron Carlivati gets his way about it James Franco will be returning to the show. Of course it will be as a different character since he was replaced, but it would be fun to see him return.
Roger Howarth now plays Franco. Instead they would want to see James Franco playing a character that would talk to his old character. Now that would make for an interesting twist on "GH." At this time he is not confirmed to return but it is something that spoilers say the show wants to see happen in the future. He has been on the show several times over the past three years, but since they replaced the actor there has been no reason to bring him back again.
Fans of "General Hospital" would love to see James Franco return to an episode of the soap opera. If it is confirmed, you know that information will be leaked.

I created the connectionfile.php file in dreamweaver, saved it to my desktop, transferred it to my server from my local system with Fireftp, and it gave me this message. It may be because I did not set user privileges for the user I stated in the PHP file's code (connectionfile.php) Or because I did not put the connectionfile.php into the public_html folder in my server which I do not have.. I just created a directory called public_html and It still did not work...
I am using Godaddy's PHPMYADMIN which for some reason is called starfield technologies.. I called them earlier and they said they cannot help me with phpmyadmin.. :(
If you can give me some advice or suggestions that would be great.

The modest Tremont duplex that's home to Dave Witzke, the local outsider artist commonly known as The Sign Guy, almost instantly reveals his obsessions and interests. Outside, you're greeted by a couple of colorful plywood cutouts affixed to his fence that make it appear as if a huge Pac-Man with an X for an eye is ready to chomp a giant grinning rabbit with a gun.
Inside his home/studio, a variety of signs, ranging from a battered School Speed Limit sign to a ragged board with the letter S on it, adorn the walls. Witzke, 39, does all his work in the corner on a small wooden bench. His distinctive and affordable street art has become such a sensation that much of his work these days is commissioned. He's often so busy, he can't keep up with demand. And the acclaim is well-deserved.
The odd creatures he paints on reclaimed materials have a playful, albeit sinister quality to them and suggest a cool cross between Keith Haring and Matt Groening. At the moment, he's into Catzilla, a fire-breathing, catlike creature with giant teeth and oversized claws.
His streetwise sensibilities date back to childhood. A Perry native, he was inspired after seeing the 1984 film Beat Street and immediately took up graffiti, assembling a small crew out of his teenage friends.
"The guys in Beat Street lived in New York City and painted subway trains and listened to hip-hop," he says. "When I saw that, it just lit a fire under me. Growing up in the country, we didn't have subway trains, but we had freight trains. I'm glad I did that [graffiti], or I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now."
Witzke moved to Cleveland in 2005 and, at the urging of a friend, started painting. "My friend told me to start doing something different to channel my artwork into something more positive than graffiti," he says. "He gave me a bunch of acrylic paint and brushes and told me to experiment."
He picked up wood and metal that people had thrown away and began painting on it. At first, he created butterflies and birds and flowers. "I had worked at a nursery, so I knew my plants," he says. "I would draw dogwood plants and flowers and hang them up. They just morphed into all cartoony birds and animals and stuff."
Witzke first exhibited his paintings in 2006 at a one-night show the Mutt Hut hosted as part of the Tremont Artwalk. "That's when I realized that I could sell this stuff," he says.
He quickly picked up some good gigs. He painted the Dim and Den Sum food truck, a mural on the side of Shaker Cycles and a wall at Nick's Diner. He's drawn a funky frog for Tremont Electric to use as its logo and has even explored turning his creatures into stuffed animals. While Witzke still has a day job, he hopes to one day turn his artistic outpourings into a full-time pursuit.
"That would be great," he says. "I don't know how I came up with characters like Catzilla. They just pop into my head. But now I want to do things on a bigger scale. I want to go bigger with them and create other crazy characters."

WELLSBURG - For more than a dozen years A Child's Place Court-Appointed Special Advocates has used its Christmas open house to inform area residents about its mission in a casual way while also raising funds for the nonprofit group.
And this year's event, held Thursday at its Charles Street office, came at a time when the group is seeing its greatest demand while under financial constraints, said Rhonda Stubbs, executive director.
A Child's Place is one of more than 900 Court-Appointed Special Advocate programs in the United States that trains volunteers to represent the interests of children involved in abuse and neglect court cases in Brooke and Hancock counties.

OPEN HOUSE — Rhonda Stubbs, executive director of A Child's Place Court-Appointed Special Advocate, chatted with Shawn Thompson, a local teen who was among volunteers who aided her with the group's Christmas open house Thursday in Wellsburg.
The volunteers visit the children's homes in an effort to ensure parents or guardians are complying with court orders to undergo counseling and the environment is safe.
Stubbs said this year the group has served 187 children, the highest number since it was formed 2000. Prior to that, last year had been CASA's busiest year, with 137 children served.
Stubbs blames the dramatic rise in recent years to drug abuse, particularly heroin addiction.
She said the group also is dealing with a financial crunch. Summer always brings a drop in private contributions, she said, but this year it was followed by the government shutdown and a delay in the release of federal funds.
As a result, the group is more than $3,000 in the red.
Stubbs said she and Jennifer Reitter, CASA's coordinator of volunteers, and volunteers and supporters are working to make up the difference through various fundraisers. They include the open house, where home-based vendors of cosmetics, kitchen supplies and other products shared proceeds with the group. There also was a drawing for gift baskets supplied by Jenna Boley of Advantage Sales and Marketing.
The group also will hold a quarter auction at 3:30 p.m. Sunday at the Chester Veterans of Foreign Wars Post. A variety of home-based products will be on the auction block, and bidders may bid 25 cents for those valued at $25 or under, 50 cents for those valued at $26 to $50 and so on.
Bidders drop the change into buckets, and the winner is determined by drawing a bidder's number from a hat.
During the open house Stubbs was visited by Kiah Christiansen and Joe White, social work students from the Franciscan University of Steubenville who have been collecting cash and coins for CASA.
Stubbs said people can help CASA in a variety of ways. In addition to monetary donations, the group can use a variety of office supplies, Christmas gifts for the children it serves and donations of various household items sold through eBay.
Stubbs said A Child's Place CASA has expanded its efforts to help area youth in other ways. With the cooperation of Eastern Gateway Community College, she presents a three-hour course, known as "From Darkness to Light" and designed to educate adults in preventing child abuse, particularly sexual abuse.
Stubbs said the course's aim is to educate parents and others to avoid conditions that make it easier for child predators to strike. She said parents should be cautious about other adults whom they allow to have one-to-one contact with their children and shouldn't be embarrassed about asking questions or setting limits in such cases.
Educators and others may receive continuing education credits for taking the course, but it's also available to anyone interested in protecting children.
The cost is limited to a $20 materials fee, and a spring course is planned at Eastern Gateway Community College.
Stubbs also is involved with Fostering Futures, a program that matches adult mentors with youth, ages 14-21, who are in foster care or group homes. Such youth often are less likely to be adopted than younger children but are in no less need of emotional support and guidance than any young adult with a parent or guardian in their lives, she said.
Stubbs said CASA has benefited from volunteers over the years. Each year she and Reitter present the Stick Your Neck Out Award to one or more who have gone above and beyond to help CASA.
This year's recipients are Alison York, a CASA advocate, and her husband, Ronnie Jones, and daughter, Emily. She said the family's support has ranged from assisting with office tasks to making contributions matched by Jones' employer, Alliance Coal.
In recent months Stubbs also has been aided by Shawn Thompson, a teen who was aided by CASA and later adopted by Mike Thompson, the CASA board's chairman.
She said Shawn, as her honorary administrative assistant, has helped her in many ways, including assisting with the eBay sales and monthly baked good sales.

Welcome to a new year! It's a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. This year, make it a time of trying new healthy foods as well. Why not start 2010 off right this January and try a new, often overlooked, nutritious food every week? You may just find a new favorite!
Week One – Hemp Seeds
Hemp seeds are little, nutritious powerhouses, packed with omega-3 fatty acids (to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke) and protein (to keep you satisfied longer). In fact, just 1 ounce of hemp seeds is chock full of 11 grams of protein!
Hemp seeds are easy to incorporate into a healthy diet. You can sprinkle them on top of oatmeal or toss them in the blender while making a smoothie. Consider using them in the place of sesame seeds as well and throw them in stir-frys or sprinkle them on top of salads. Hemp seeds can be found at Whole Foods and many other health food stores.
Week Two – Sardines
Sardines aren't just tiny fish packed in can; they are filled with calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper and vitamin B! That's a lot of nutrients packed in one little fish. Additionally, they, like other fish, are high in omega-3s, but unlike other fish, they hardy contain any mercury at all.
Eat sardines the way you would tuna in a can. If you're feeling brave, eat them plain. If not, toss them in a salad or mash them into the same ingredients you would use for tuna salad; just go light on the mayonnaise. Sardines can be found at most grocery stores.
Week Three – Goji Berries
Goji berries, like other fruits, contain high levels of antioxidants. However, these little berries blow the competition out of the water when looking at antioxidant levels per serving. According to ORAC ratings, which are a way of measuring antioxidant levels, goji berries have one of the highest levels of any fruit.
Eat goji berries the way you would raisins. They may be enjoyed either fresh or dried and can be eaten on their own or make a great topping for salads, oatmeal, or yogurt. You can find goji berries at Whole Foods.
Week Four - Beets
Beets often get overlooked but they are packed with folate and betaine, two nutrients that combine to lower inflammation levels in your blood and decrease your chance of heart disease. Additionally, very early research suggests that the pigment in beets might actually help fight cancer.
If possible, eat beets raw for maximum health benefits. You can peel and slice it thinly, then toss with olive oil and lemon juice for a nice salad. If you do not feel up to eating beets raw, roast them in the oven with olive oil and pepper for a tasty side dish. And don't throw away the leaves and stems, which can be eaten like spinach, raw in a salad or sautéed for a side dish. The leaves and stems are full of vitamins and antioxidants as well. Find beets in most grocery stores.
This year, be adventurous in your eating while reaping a number of rewards to your health!

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.-- Junior safety Michael Thomas has been named the Pac-10 Conference's Defensive Player of the Week for his outstanding performance in Stanford's 35-0 victory at UCLA this past Saturday.
Thomas finished the game with five total tackles and two forced fumbles, including one he returned 21 yards for a touchdown that gave Stanford a 28-0 at the end of the third quarter. He also forced a Randall Carroll fumble at the 8:45 mark of the second quarter.
Thomas was the first Stanford player to run a fumble back for a touchdown since Michael Craven ran 54 yards against UC Davis in 2005.
The win over UCLA marked Stanford's first shutout victory on the road since the Cardinal blanked Oregon, 17-0 in Eugene and its first shutout of the Bruins since 1941.

UC Irvine's men's basketball team continues to pick up steam for the Big West Conference Tournament.
The Anteaters improved their Big West mark to 8-6 and overall record to 14-13 with an 86-66 victory over Cal State Fullerton Saturday night in front of 1,847 fans at the Bren Center.
"I'm happy with my team," UCI Coach Russell Turner said. "We played well against a team that's not easy to play well against. We knew they would be ready to play. We have developed a defensive mentality as a team that at times makes us look pretty good defensively. Tonight, was one of those times."
UCI, 10-1 on its home court, was solid on defense as Cal State Fullerton (12-13, 5-8) made just 40 percent of its field goals and 33.3 percent of its 3-point attempts.
Fullerton came into the game ranked fourth in the nation in scoring offense (81.1 points).
"We defended, there's not a secret there," Turner said. "This team is one of the top offensive teams in the country, not to mention the top offensive team in our conference. But we made it really hard for them and we have personnel that's well suited to do that."
The Anteaters connected on 51.5 percent of their field goals and 44 percent from 3-point range.
UCI also had a balanced scoring attack led by Daman Starring (21 points), Adam Folker (18 points), Alex Young (16 points) and Will Davis II (10 points).
Davis II also had 10 rebounds for UCI, which out-rebounded Fullerton, 44-30.
"Will Davis was just a tremendous defensive factor for us tonight," Turner said.
UCI led, 38-24, at halftime and eventually extended its lead to 31 points late in the second half.

TUCSON--Only 3,500 tickets remain for Arizona's home football opener this Saturday against BYU, and UA officials say the game shapes up to sell out before game day.
It would be UA's first sellout since the Cats drew a capacity crowd-plus of 57,367 for the home opener against No. 18 Ohio State in 2000. The UA had only will-call business at the ticket office on game day for that contest, and expect a similar situation this year.
Assistant athletics director James Francis said the 3,500 tickets (in at least pairs), plus several hundred long seats spread throughout the stadium, remained at the start of business Monday. "The demand has been steady for the past month, and it really picked up in the last 10 days. Today was more of the same. We should be in a will-call only situation by Saturday," he said.
Student "Zona Zoo" season tickets also sold briskly last week, he said, and that area of the stadium should be filled to its 10,000 capacity easily.
In fact, under the student government-approved arrangement for Zona Zoo tickets -- which offer multi-venue ticketing opportunities in various sports, and are first-come, first-served seats for football games -- if the student section fills completely before kickoff some students may be turned away due to the fact that spill-over seats in other sections of the stadium wouldn't be available this week as they were in the past, associate atheltics director Scott Mackenzie explained.
Many buyers opted for season tickets after calling or visiting the ticket office in quest of single-game seats, Francis said, and UA has reached its third-highest total with some 26,256 sold through Friday.
"This week, anyone thinking of going to the BYU game needs to act now," Francis said. Also, he added that early sales for the Stephen F. Austin game Sept. 16 and the Pac-10 opener against USC on Sept. 23 have risen since single-game tickets went on sale.
Tickets can be ordered online on this web site, or by telephone (520-621-2287 or 800-452-2287).

Sigrid Olson: From fashion designer to retreat leader
"Throughout my thirties and forties, I worked 60-hour weeks to build my namesake clothing company. When it closed in 2008, I had to fight my type-A inclination to push to make something new happen right away. At first, I tried to re-create my prior career. Luckily, my lawyer gave me some invaluable advice: 'Sigrid, sometimes the fields have to go fallow to produce crops.'
So I opened myself to new possibilities. I resumed my yoga practice, meditation and the painting that I had abandoned 30 years earlier. I bounced ideas off friends and journaled about aspects of my fashion career that I loved and wanted to hang on to—like connecting with the women who had been my customers—and the parts I found depleting. With this clarity, I started my new venture: art and yoga retreats for women in beautiful locales around the world [sigridolsenart.com]. By taking my time and using my past as a guide to what I wanted and didn't want, I found a career that feeds my soul. In my fifties, I had the wisdom to know what is truly important and the energy to make it happen."
Retirees without debt are significantly happier than those who still owe money, according to a survey from Consumer Reports. But 39 percent of retirees owe at least $25,000 on their mortgage.
One strategy for whittling the balance early: Ask your bank if you can make your payments biweekly instead of monthly. Rather than 12 full payments annually, you'll make 26 half payments—the equivalent of 13 full payments (the extra few days you get in some months add up to four weeks over the course of a year). Bankrate.com's Biweekly Mortgage Calculator can show you how quickly the extra payments will reduce the balance.
Patty Marks: From college administrator to erotica publisher
"I had just turned 50 when I became the CEO of Ellora's Cave, an erotica-publishing venture that my daughter founded. Because of her success self-publishing her own erotic novel, as well as the high cost of traditional print publishing, we decided to go into e-books. Everyone told us not to, but I trusted my judgment. Today we sell 150,000 to 200,000 e-books a month. In 2012 we did more than $15 million in retail sales and paid more than $4 million to authors in royalties. In your fifties, you've had many life experiences to pull from. You have to do what your gut tells you."
Beyond mainstays like LinkedIn and Twitter, get up to date on other sites—they will keep you modern and in touch:
Google+: This social-networking site acts a lot like Facebook. But it's useful in other ways, such as influencing what information is available about you online, says Miriam Salpeter, a social media strategist: "If it's not feasible to create and maintain your own website, posting content here is one way to create a flattering digital footprint."
Instagram: Although users see the photo-sharing website as primarily for fun, companies go there to build their brands. You should be familiar with the way it works, particularly if you're in marketing or a visual field such as fashion or interior design.
Dropbox: People trade images and large files online with this file-sharing tool. "Companies use Dropbox to provide information to colleagues and clients," says Sabina Hitchen, "chief excitement officer" for Tin Shingle, a resource for small-business owners.
Seventy-six percent of people age 50 and older take at least one drug regularly. Check out Microsoft HealthVault, which is free, to create a personal health record. It will help you track medications and family history and keep records together.

Dear Student:
Welcome to Apostolic School of Theology, a college that is anchored in the past and looking to the future!
There is an innate desire in healthy humans to better the race. For this reason, people seek work that contributes to meaningful progress. Political groups, health care organizations, teaching professions, service providing businesses, etc., all desire to contribute meaningfully to the betterment of mankind. However, their influence in an individual's life ends with death. They seldom or never deal with the issues of "ultimate concern" (Tillich).
In contrast, students of the Word who are preparing for ministry are "head over heels" in things too wonderful to exhaust! The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most staggering Good News ever revealed to man. It deals with the deepest core issues of human need with thoroughness and completeness. Its depth is incalculable, its breadth breathtaking, its height dizzying. It is a high privilege to be able to explore such divine revelation.
With this in mind, Apostolic School of Theology has made a commitment to strive for uncompromised excellence in leading students to know Jesus Christ and thus become one with Him and His mission.
Again, welcome! We trust that this website provides helpful and informative guidelines as you prepare for a life of Christian service.
Living in victory,
Nathaniel J. Wilson

Your Help is Needed!
Every Gift, Large or Small, Makes a Difference
AST has truly been a blessing to me and my ministry by giving me the opportunity to earn a degree that is both regionally accredited and apostolic. AST has instilled powerful apostolic truths in my heart, broadened my vision for revival and challenged me to pursue excellence.
AST is more than an education…It is an exciting journey with fresh insights and deep truths around every bend. You can take the journey without putting the rest of your life and ministry on pause. It's brilliant!
The bachelor program at AST has proven to be an answer to prayer. Without it, my higher education goals would have been lost because of a busy pastoral schedule. The classes are life changing!
With its unprecedented combination of apostolic context, academic excellence and convenient online format, AST's graduate program prepared me to pursue a Doctor of Missiology degree at Fuller Theological Seminary.
God has given me a wonderful opportunity to study, learn and fellowship with those of like precious faith, all from my home through the Internet. I feel truly blessed to have such great instructors as well as access to the many opportunities that AST has to offer.
Attending Apostolic School of Theology has been extremely convenient. Throughout the past two years, I have been able to work a full-time job while simultaneously continuing my education.

A Few Of My Favorite Things…
With the Twins set to take on the Seattle Mariners later tonight, I just wanted to share a few of the things I am looking forward to this season…
-Denard Span working the count, fouling off pitches, then doing this… http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200809253550680&c_id=min …(yeah, I know it's like the fifth time I've posted that clip on this blog…but why not?!)
-Jason Kubel striding up to the plate with strains of this blaring… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K47W0UTq_9o …then doing this… http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200809233534868&c_id=min
-Kevin Slowey tapping into the ghost of Brad Radke (http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200808203336972&c_id=min)
-Michael Cuddyer doing this… http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/media/player/mp_tpl_3_1.jsp?w_id=516187&w=2006/open/tp/archive09/090706_detmin_cuddyer_throw_tp_350.wmv&pid=mlb_tp&gid=2006/09/07/detmlb-minmlb-1&mid=200609071651571&cid=mlb&fid=mlb_tp350&v=2
-And finally, the Nathanator trotting in from the pen to this… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jaz-KmTid3U …and ending the game like this… http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200808123294553&c_id=min
Opening Day Preview: Felix Hernandez (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Francisco Liriano (0-0, 0.00 ERA). "King Felix" can be dominating, but so can Cisco. However, Liriano also needs to calm himself and not walk six guys through four innings or something like that. I can see the Twins losing this game, but anything can happen at the Dome!!

Oh, I really really hope that Denard Span's rookie season isn't a fluke. We really do need someone who gets on base as much as he does at the top of the lineup. And someone who covers as much ground as he does in the outfield (he looked really good in LF yesterday, which was one of the few bright spots in that game). Hopefully things will go a little bit better tonight!-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.mlblogs.com

Women's Soccer Preseason Prep Continues with Opener One Week Away
The Princeton women's soccer team has two weeks between the student-athletes' arrival on campus and the season-opening game Sept. 6 against Richmond at Roberts Stadium. Here are five questions the Tigers will aim to answer in that time.
How will the team replace Jen Hoy's 18 goals?
Hoy's 17 goals in the 2012 regular season tied the program record for regular-season goals, and her 18 total goals were the second-highest total in program history. But, Hoy wasn't Princeton's only option last year. Eleven Tigers scored in the 2012 season, and eight return. Junior Lauren Lazo (11 goals) leads the group that's back, as she and Hoy were the third combo in program history where each player scored at least 10 goals.
Who will start in goal?
The Tigers have four goalkeepers on the roster, but the foursome has just one start between them as 2013 alumnae Claire Pinciaro and Kristin Watson combined for all but 136 of the team's 1,741 in goal last season. The three non-freshmen, including senior Cecilia Di Caprio and juniors Darcy Hargadon and MicKenzie Roberts-Lahti, have all seen time in goal with the Tigers. Hannah Winner is the lone goalkeeper in the nine-member freshman class.
Who's getting the ball forward?
Fourteen Tigers had an assist last season and 10 of those players return. Rachel Sheehy '13 co-led the team with seven assists, but five other players had at least five assists. Four of them are back, including juniors Jessica Haley, Lazo and Liana Cornacchio and senior Gabriella Guzman.
What does the freshman class bring?
The nine freshmen represent every position, from Winner in goal to four defenders. Nicole Loncar, a Canadian youth national team member, and New Jersey native Jesse McDonough are in the midfield, and Sarah Mendenhall and Tyler Lussi are forwards. Last season, Princeton had five freshmen and Jessica Lee had the most starts, finding her name in the lineup six times. Last year's team, however, had 23 of its 28 players as returners, while 19 of the 28 are returners this year.
How will the defense look?
The Tigers are long on defense numbers-wise, with 11 on the roster, and three of those players made 10-plus starts last season. Senior Kacie Kergides started the first 11 games last season before going down to injury, while classmate Diane Metcalf-Leggette had 14 starts last season and Gabrielle Ragazzo started all 19 contests in 2012. Princeton held opponents to a goals-against average of 1.60 last season on the way to a 14-4-1 campaign, an Ivy League title and an NCAA Round of 32 berth.
Below, the team put together a video to introduce the 2013 season:

Are you like us and use just about every single heating tool on the market to tame your mane? We fry our hair daily and regret it after we see the permanent damage we've done to our precious locks. We're going to start protecting our tresses by using this Redken Smooth Down Heat Glide ($13) which coats and moisturizes the hair's cuticle shaft prior to styling with heat. We hope it works its magic soon because we're in desperate need of some hair TLC!

Directions and Map
Georgian House directions and map for London location
The Georgian House is ideally located accommodation in central London. Bus, tube, train and coach links all run to nearby Victoria, giving easy access to the whole of the capital. Despite being a hotel in the centre of London, the Georgian House is in a safe residential district, quiet and peaceful by night, yet bustling and vibrant by day. There are local chemists, supermarkets, post offices, banks and restaurants all close by for your convenience.
London maps are available for sale or to borrow at reception, along with helpful advice on the best ways to get around the city.

Directions for Georgian House from Victoria Station
From Victoria Station the easiest, although not the shortest way, is to take Buckingham Palace Road and walk towards Victoria Coach Station. At the traffic lights at the coach station, turn left into Elizabeth Bridge. Keep walking straight on, as St. George's Drive is an extension of Elizabeth Bridge. St. George's Drive is quite a long street and at one stage it changes its name briefly to Eccleston Square. Don't worry, as it quickly becomes St. George's Drive again, just pass the garden square, and the hotel is just across the traffic lights on the right hand side. You will see the green hanging ornamental balls.
From Victoria Station most of our customers just walk to the hotel. However travelling with lots of luggage may require taking a taxi. A black cab taken from outside the station will be cheaper than a mini cab, and it should not cost more than £5.00.
Car Parking
There are car parking restrictions in central London. It is free to park on the street before 8.30am and after 6.30pm in our area, and free from Friday evening until Monday morning. However, zones vary slightly in timings, so please check the signs before leaving your car. If you leave your car parked illegally for less than 5 minutes you can expect to receive a parking ticket and you may find that your car has been clamped, or worse, towed away to a police pound. The fines for both are very high. To avoid penalties you need to put your car on a meter. These usually take £1 and 20p pieces. Alternatively, there is a Q-Park, a short walk from the hotel. Guests staying at the Georgian House can enjoy a special rate when they book in advance on line by following this link:

The Tibi Ditzy Leopard Cami ($198) allows us to rock our favorite leopard print without our friends raising their eyebrows, a facial expression which we've learned means, "Really? More?" We're enamored with this pattern for its brushstroke qualities and how effortlessly the leopard print blends in with the dashes and dots (of course - the spot's are used for camouflage). Don't forget to pick up a pair of Ditzy Leopard Track Pants to complete the look.

Tonight, June 1, WWE presented the second annual Payback pay per view. The show was held in the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. Here are the results.
In the Kickoff match that aired before the show aired properly, El Torito (accompanied by Diego & Francisco of Los Matadores) beat Hornswoggle (accompanied by Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal & Drew McIntyre of 3MB) in a Mask Versus Hair Match. Torito pinned Hornswoggle after hitting a springboard moonsault. Hornswoggle got his head shaved post-match.
WWE United States Champion Sheamus pinned Cesaro (with Paul Heyman) after catching him with a small package.
Ryback and Curtis Axel beat Goldust and Cody Rhodes. Ryback pinned Rhodes after hitting Shell Shocked. Post-match, a frustrated Rhodes told Goldust that he needs to find a better tag team partner.
Rusev (with Lana) made Big E submit to the Accolade.
Kofi Kingstonversus Bo Dallas never happened. Before the match started Kane attacked Kingston and hit him with a chokeslam and a Tombstone. After the carnage, Dallas came to the ring and told Kingston all he needs to do is "BoLieve."
WWE Intercontinental Champion Bad News Barrett pinned Rob Van Dam after hitting the Bull Hammer.
Stephanie McMahon then came to the ring and called out WWE World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and his wife Brie Bella in order for the injured Bryan to surrender the Championship. The Chicago crowd erupted into a "CM Punk" chant, which Stephanie shut down by saying that the crowd wanted Bryan to quit just like Punk did. Just as Bryan was about to hand over the Championships to Stephanie, Brie interrupted and said she quit, negating the surrender.
John Cena (with the WWE Tag Team Champions Jimmy & Jey Uso) beat Bray Wyatt (with Erick Rowan & Luke Harper) in a Last Man Standing Match.
WWE Divas Champion Paige made Alicia Fox tap out to the PTO.

- Reigns hit Triple with a spear for the win.

OnabotulinumtoxinA (onaBoNT-A) vs Oral Tamsulosin for BPH & LUTS (#02-10-10-05)
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with its related symptoms is a common condition that affects nearly half of men over age 50 and 90 percent of men over 80. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) caused by BPH, which include nocturia (excessive urinating at night), frequency, urgency, hesitancy, intermittency and incomplete emptying, can be very bothersome, affect an individual's lifestyle significantly, and are costly. This study is a clinical research study that is conducted under the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The onaBoNT-A has been approved for use in humans for other problems but not for prostate problems. The main purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness of 200 U onaBoNT-A injected into the prostate versus oral tamsulosin for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms caused by BPH. Changes in the prostate tissue that is removed during the prostate biopsies will also be compared.
The study medications for this study are onaBoNT-A injection, placebo injection, oral (by mouth) tamsulosin (Flomax) and placebo oral drug. For this study, the placebo injection is saline (salt water) and the oral drug is a look-alike pill that contains no medicine. You will be in ARM 1 (onaBoNT-A injection and placebo capsule that is taken every day by mouth) or ARM 2 (placebo (salt water) injection and a tamsulosin 0.4 mg capsule taken every day by mouth).
You will have five clinic visits and two telephone visits during this study. Your participation in the study will be about four to five months. During your participation in the study, you will have physical exams including a digital rectal examination (DRE), urine flow tests, blood and urine tests, and prostate biopsies.
You must be a male veteran seen at the VA-Houston Urology clinic who is at least 50 years of age. Your urine flow test results that need to be within approved ranges. You must not have had any prior surgical or medical treatment for BPH. You may not have acute or chronic prostate disease. Uncontrolled diabetes. There are other reasons you may not be able to participate.
For more information see Effectiveness of onaBoNT-A vs Oral Tamsulosin in Men With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Lower Urinary Track Symptoms (BPH).

According to comScore, Google is still chewing through 51.6% of the US market share for the quarter ending in August with its Android platform, but this number is down 0.8% compared to the previous quarter.
Apple's iOS platform gained that missing percent, driving up from 39.2% to 40.7% this quarter. Moving onto manufacturers, as you may have guessed Samsung is still on top with 24.3% of the US market, which is up 1.3% since May. The closest competitor to Samsung is HTC, with 7.4%, which dropped 1% moving from the May quarter to the August quarter.
Motorola and LG are still in the game with 6.9% and 6.7%, respectively.

When the world awoke on March 11 to the news that a 9.0-magnitude earthquake had hit Japan followed by a subsequent tsunami, it was almost too tragic to comprehend.
With the images and videos that surfaced in the days following these dual natural disasters, showing the city of Sendai decimated by the quake and the deadly tsunami sweeping towns and villages away in its unforgiving manner, the reality of what was happening rocked the world.
The World Figure Skating Championships which were scheduled to begin in Tokyo ten days later were immediately thrown into question. The International Skating Union (ISU) released a press statement later that day confirming the Championships would go ahead as planned.
Though the venue for Worlds, Yoyogi Stadium, was deemed safe, another factor soon came into play. Explosions at the Fukushima nuclear plant opened the door to widespread radiation contamination.
As the days passed and the tragedy unfolded before the eyes of the world, the ISU as well as athletes and fans were all having second thoughts about attending a competition in such a dangerous environment.
"The ISU's primary concern is for the safety of all participants, spectators and members of concerned entities as well as the travel advisories from many governments to avoid travel to Japan until the situation is settled," said ISU president Ottavio Cinquanta the day following the disaster.
The French federation issued a statement expressing concern that holding a competition in Tokyo could no longer be viewed as a sporting celebration. It reiterated that it had full confidence in the ISU and its president to make the right decisions.
When the ISU announced later that week that Worlds would be postponed and possibly canceled unless another venue could be found (an idea that seemed improbable at the time), heated debates unfolded on every form of interactive social media.
It is ironic that since 1947 the only time the World Championships have been canceled was in 1961, when the entire U.S. delegation perished in a plane crash. This year marks the 50th anniversary of that disaster.
When Worlds were relocated to Moscow, Russia, many breathed a sigh of relief, albeit with reservations.
Daisuke Takahashi was divided about the prospect of competing while his nation was in mourning. "I know Worlds is very important, but there are more important things for Japan in the long term," he said. "My honest feeling is that it really is not the time to be skating."
Like many other elite skaters, French ice dancer Nathalie Péchalat was dismayed by the turn of events. "We knew that both the ISU and the Japanese federation worked very hard to keep the event in Tokyo, but it would not have been the best thing to stage the most important competition in the wake of those tragic events," she said.
"Of course, at that moment, we still were wishing the Championships would take place and not be canceled. All the skaters worked so hard to reach the pinnacle event of the season.
"We thought it would have been unfair not to have the chance to compete, but at the same time, we knew it was selfish to think that a sporting event was so important, especially when millions of people were suffering and many were mourning their loved ones."
Her teammate Florent Amodio agreed. "Staging a skating event in such tragic conditions made no sense. Postponing or even canceling Worlds was the right solution and the best one," he said.
"When I heard that the World Championships were assigned to Moscow, I was training in Paris with Annick Dumont. At least I knew that what I had been training for the whole season would have some meaning."
Ryan Bradley was also of two minds. "When Worlds was postponed it seemed we were training indefinitely for something no one knew initially was even going to happen. I was battling with the question of should I even be skating," he said. "It didn't feel right to me to be training. I felt like it was almost disrespectful. In the wake of a great catastrophe like that, I feel that the right thing is to show your respect by not doing anything.
"Between my humane emotions and the competitor in me that wants to be the best in the world, it was a really hard time."
Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu was on the ice at his training base in Sendai when the earthquake hit.
"I was practicing at the rink. It was such a big earthquake, all I could do was to stand still," he recalled. "I got out of the building with my skating boots on. Words cannot express how helpless I felt when I saw the city I live in crumble in front of my eyes. A sense of fear overtook me."
Amodio had arrived in Japan on March 8 to prepare for Worlds. "My destination was Fukuoka, on the island of Kyūshū, where my coach Nikolai Morozov had established a training camp for his skaters to prepare for Worlds," Amodio explained. "Kim Lucine (from Monaco) and his father, Didier, were also with me.
"Three days later we all were stunned to hear the news. We were watching TV all day long but we kept training. As we were on the most southern of the Japanese islands, we were not affected by the quake or the tsunami."
Half a world away his family was concerned about their son's well-being. "My parents were more worried than me," Amodio said. "The next day, the French federation started to think that the best thing would be to repatriate us. Two days after the quake, we realized that the situation would not get better at the nuclear plant. And, in Fukuoka, there were also concerns about the Mt. Aso volcano, which was nearby, possibly erupting.
"My parents started to freak out. They convinced me to fly back home, which is what I did the next day."
Japan is not only a major player in the world of skating — over the years many involved in the sport have developed strong bonds with skaters, fans and the nation itself.
"When we first heard about the earthquake and the tsunami, we received many messages from our Japanese fans on our Facebook page," Péchalat recalled. "They were scared and panicked, but they wished for some relief. They were hoping to see skaters from around the world compete and thus have some happy moments which could help them to escape from their sad reality."
Péchalat said she and her on-ice partner Fabian Bourzat tried to comfort and reassure their fans. "We hoped that competing in front of them would ease their pain," she explained. "But rapidly, when everyone realized the magnitude of these tragic events, we thought the Worlds had to be canceled because Japan was handling a chaotic situation. The emergency was the humanitarian effort, not a figure skating event.
"We were regularly in touch with our fans and friends and we also sent a message of solidarity and compassion to the Japanese federation," she added.
Péchalat and Bourzat are scheduled to perform in Japan in June. "We are hoping the shows will take place so that we can meet our fans and express to them directly how impressed and inspired we are by their courage and dignity," she said.
For Maia Shibutani, 16, the events in Japan gave her a new perspective on life. "When Alex and I first heard about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, our hearts and thoughts immediately went out to the people there," she said.
"As the images of the destruction and loss continued to come in, our thoughts were with the friends we have made in Japan through skating, as well as the fans that have been tremendously supportive of us. During the first few days, skating took a backseat to the tragedy that continued to unfold."
Messages of support poured in from skaters around the globe. China's Qing Pang and Jian Tong penned a note to the Japanese people expressing their sympathy. "We have seen on TV that Japan encountered a serious earthquake and tsunami," Tong wrote.
"The two of us are really worried about everyone's safety in Japan. We now only watch the news channel every day, trying to get more update information. After we saw the explosion at the Fukushima power station, we are even more worried as we know you will be facing more problems in your daily life.
"However, we believe all the difficulties will eventually pass and things will gradually improve. As your true friends, we will pray for you all the time. We love all of you and we know you are very intelligent and brave people. Japan will be an even stronger nation once all this has passed."
Canada's Kurt Browning also sent an inspiring note to the Japanese people. "It has been a few days trying to write something, not because it was hard to find the words but because I really felt so small in such a big tragedy. But I now know that every single positive thought and act does make a big difference when added together.
"I was there in January and in the big scheme of things that was only seconds ago. I love your culture and admire your strength, two things that will help you all in this difficult time."
Evan Lysacek and Shae-Lynn Bourne wrote that they both consider Japan their second home. "I have found so many great friends and fans there, and care about them all very much," Lysacek noted. "I was so saddened to see the disaster that has hit parts of Japan recently. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy.
"Everyone here in America stands behind you in every way. We'll continue to pray for nothing but good for the country of Japan, and I hope to be back soon."
Bourne sent all of her love and energy to "beautiful Japan ... Wishing all the people strength and hope to overcome the devastation."
When Alissa Czisny heard the news her first concern was for her coach Yuka Sato, whose family lives in Japan. "I guess my first thought was for Yuka and her family and all of my friends there. I was hoping they were all safe," Czisny said. "I do not have a TV at home so I did not get to see any of the coverage but when I heard about the devastation I was so sad."
The news that Worlds was postponed and possibly canceled was distressing. "At that time, we were still under the impression that Worlds was still going to be held there, so I was positive about that. I really wasn't worried about going there because I love Japan so much," Czisny recalled. "But when it seemed as though the event would be canceled I was very unhappy."
Bradley was also disturbed. "What happened in Japan was devastating. I remember the morning so well. Skating was the last thing on my mind," he said. "I was so devastated for the people and a lot of fans that had reached out and touched me were Japanese. So to see what happened there was heartbreaking.
"The moment anything went wrong in my training that day, it was just too much to handle."
Gwendal Peizerat's plans to attend the World Championships also changed following the disaster. "I was supposed to be at Worlds in Japan and do some analyst work with Eurosport," he said.
"But due to the earthquake and the tsunami, Eurosport's grid completely changed when the competition was rescheduled for late April in Moscow. There was no place in their plans for me because the Pan-European network decided to give a lot of programming slots to the World Championships of Snooker."
On April 9, some of Japan's finest performed in the "Higashi Nihon Daishinsai Charity Exhibition" to raise money for relief efforts. The sold-out show was held in the city of Kobe, which was devastated by the Great Hanshin earthquake in January 1995.
The cast included Daisuke Takahashi, Shizuka Arakawa, Takeshi Honda, Yuzuru Hanyu, Satsuki Muramoto, Saya Ueno, Rin Nitaya, Shion Kokubun, Keiji Tanaka, Ayana Yasuhara, Yamato Tamura and Yukina Ohta.
Takahashi came up with the idea and proposed it to the other skaters. "Since March 11, we had been discussing what we could do to help those most affected," he explained. "With the help of choreographer Kenji Miyamoto, we decided to organize this exhibition.
"People had their opinions about whether I should participate in this event with the World Championships just a couple of weeks away, but I felt it was the best thing to do."
The show held a special significance for a number of the skaters. Both Arakawa and Hanyu are from Sendai; Honda is from Koriyama, Fukushima Prefecture and Tamura is from the small northern city of Hachinohe which faces the Pacific Ocean. All reported that their families and pets were safe.
The show raised more than US$150,000 through donations and an auction. All proceeds went to the Red Cross.
Meanwhile, skaters in the U.S. stepped up to the plate and rallied in support of Japan.
"Skaters Care: A Benefit for Japan Tsunami Relief" was the brainchild of Sean Rabbitt, a member of the Glacier Falls Figure Skating Club in Ontario, Calif. He enlisted his father, Don Rabbitt, a seasoned skating event organizer, to make it all happen.
Former U.S. pairs champions Rena Inoue and John Baldwin were the masters of ceremonies at the event, which took place at the Citizens Business Bank Arena on April 3.
Adam Rippon learned about the benefit show a few days after the disaster through friends and messages he received on Twitter. "I was very passionate about supporting this cause," he said. "I have a lot of friends in Japan as well as many fans who are so kind and generous.
"I wanted to participate in the show to pay tribute to them and return the support they've given me in the past."
Signing up was not initially an option for Richard Dornbush, the 2011 U.S. silver medalist who was waiting to hear what was happening with the World Championships. Once the event was rescheduled, he signed on immediately.
"My mom's best friend lives in Japan and works as a teacher," he said. "She couldn't find some of her students right after the tsunami but fortunately she found them a few days later and they are all OK."
Organized in less than three weeks, the event raised almost $13,000 for the American Red Cross.
The Houston Figure Skating Club also held an event ("Operation S.K.A.T.E.") that raised $3,500 with all proceeds directed to the Red Cross.
Throughout the entire ordeal the Japanese people have dealt with this dire calamity with unimaginable calm and dignity. There is likely no other place on earth where looting or opportunism would not be compelling factors in relief efforts. Not so in Japan.
The Japanese people's resilience and strength is a testament to the values that set them apart from the rest of world. We bow to them with the utmost respect.

Did you mean 8.9 magnitude?
9.0M is right number.
8.9M is a quick estimation just after the earthquake and it was corrected to 9.0M soon later. 9.9M looks a typo of the author.

View at publisher
The regulation of organ size constitutes a major unsolved question in developmental biology. The wing imaginal disc of Drosophila serves as a widely used model system to study this question. Several mechanisms have been proposed to have an impact on final size, but they are either contradicted by experimental data or they cannot explain a number of key experimental observations and may thus be missing crucial elements. We have modeled a regulatory network that integrates the experimentally confirmed molecular interactions underlying other available models. Furthermore, the network includes hypothetical interactions between mechanical forces and specific growth regulators, leading to a size regulation mechanism that conceptually combines elements of existing models, and can be understood in terms of a compression gradient model. According to this model, compression increases in the center of the disc during growth. Growth stops once compression levels in the disc center reach a certain threshold and the compression gradient drops below a certain level in the rest of the disc. Our model can account for growth termination as well as for the paradoxical observation that growth occurs uniformly in the presence of a growth factor gradient and non-uniformly in the presence of a uniform growth factor distribution. Furthermore, it can account for other experimental observations that argue either in favor or against other models. The model also makes specific predictions about the distribution of cell shape and size in the developing disc, which we were able to confirm experimentally.

What is a Presbyterian?
Presbyterians are Christians who focus on the Word of God and participate in a democratic form of religion. They have been in existence since the 1500s, founded in Switzerland by John Calvin, a Reformer of the Christian faith. The Presbyterian Church was brought to the United States from Scotland in the 1700s.
Presbyterians are protestant Christians who believe that the church should be always Reforming, seeking to follow God in new and different ways as we learn more about God everyday, every year, every decade and century.
Presbyterians are connectional. That means we network with over 2.3 million Presbyterians in the U.S. and more than 10,000 congregations in the U.S. As part of the reformed movement of Christians around the world, we are also connected to the World Council of Reformed Churches in Geneva, Switzerland.
Presbyterians are faithful Christians, believing in God as Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer. Members have free will to understand God based on biblical interpretation, theological study, and human experience.
Presbyterians celebrate God with worship, education, mission, music, and social activities. Presbyterians celebrate the Lord's Supper and Baptism as important sacraments.
First Presbyterian Church of Beloit is a member of the Presbyterian Church (USA), the Synod of Lakes and Prairies and the Presbytery of Milwaukee. For more information, see:
