The dead visitor from the northeast
This spotted cucumber beetle (Diabrotica undecimpunctata) was in a bag of spinach we bought last week. The spinach had not been frozen, but the beetle was limp and motionless after it was removed from the refrigerator and remained so at room temperature.
According to the bag, the spinach was produced by a Massachusetts company. The spotted cucumber beetle is said to be a widespread species in eastern North America.

- Official Site: www.AngelsAndDemons.com
- Release Date: May 15, 2009
- Director: Ron Howard
- Main Actors: Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, Ayelet Zurer
Tom Hanks is back as Professor Robert Langdon in Angels & Demons, the Da Vinci Code prequel-turned-sequel from bestselling author Dan Brown. But instead of being chased by the Catholic church, this time Professor Langdon is recruited by them. They need his help following the theft of a potentially dangerous anti-matter particle from a Swiss lab, the sudden death of the Pope and a chilling threat from the Church's ancient enemy: the Illuminati. Together with Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer), the nuclear physicist who helped discover the so-called "God particle," and a grieving Camerlengo Patrick McKenna (Ewan McGregor), they must race to stop the devious plot before the long-dormant group can violently disrupt the papal conclave, destroying the Vatican in the process.
When the 2006 Da Vinci Code turned into a massive -- albeit controversial -- hit, a big-screen translation of Brown's previous work Angels & Demons was all but assured. It just would have been nice if it had been adapted less clumsily. After Hanks' Langdon is given a suitable new foreign female sidekick, he's brought onboard by a member of the Vatican police in a scene so awkwardly grafted onto the film it makes you wonder if a symbologist-for-hire really is suitable franchise material after all. Indiana Jones this ain't, but while it may be a shaky start getting Angels & Demons off the ground, once it's in the air it's all whodunit autopilot from there on. Sure, there are worse places to be than in the safe and competent hands of Hanks and director Ron Howard, but Angels & Demons lacks much of the substance that made The Da Vinci Code interesting and intelligent to some, overlong and boring to others. Where public outcry over the religious politics of The Da Vinci Code provided constant fodder for critics, here both the film and its protagonist are almost uncomfortably self-aware about diffusing any religious tension. The result is a carefully calculated but ultimately hollow summer movie, with twists, beats and blasts placed at all the right moments. However, there's little in the way of a soul.
You don't need to be a Harvard professor to predict Angels & Demons' twists -- like the Illuminati trail Langdon discovers, its hints are coded throughout the movie. Anyone who's watched enough thrillers will be able to figure them out without too much trouble. While the Da Vinci Code sequel may aim to be a "thinking man's thriller" much like its predecessor, really it's just a thriller for the thinking man who doesn't want to think for the night -- complete with a villain you'd expect to find in a Bruce Willis movie, not a self-proclaimed "church mystery." Despite its lofty aspirations, Angels & Demons is no less artificial and forced than the latest Fast & Furious sequel. Different target audience, same motive: easy money. Maybe even more gore. There's no shortage of blood or grotesque mutilations in this Catholic thriller. Still, consider it a sad sign of the times when even our so-called "adult thrillers" have to be assembled according to a paint-by-numbers kit of what a hit film has to look like to appeal to a mass audience.

Payne Stewart Cup | Brook Hollow Golf Club
DALLAS (SMU) – The SMU Mustangs men's golf team will host the 2014 Payne Stewart Cup at the Brook Hollow Golf Club on Monday. The annual fundraising event will feature an 18-hole round of golf with current and former SMU golfers, PGA professionals and SMU supporters and donors.
Among the professionals competing will be Hunter Mahan (five PGA Tour wins), Jordan Spieth (recently tied for second at the Masters, winner of the 2013 John Deere Classic), Martin Flores (PGA Tour and Nationwide Tour participant) and Harrison Frazar (one PGA Tour win). Former SMU golfers and now professionals Kelly Kraft, Colt Knost and Chris Parra will play, as well as Henrik Norlander, who helped lead Augusta State to two national championships in 2010 and 2011 under now-SMU head coach Josh Gregory.
After the completion of the round, a cocktail hour will commence followed by an auction and a dinner with guest speaker Lee Trevino (six-time major winner, 19th all-time on the PGA Tour win list). AT&T will again serve as the title sponsor for the event which will raise over $140,000 for the SMU men's golf program.
"We are very excited about this year's Payne Stewart Cup," Gregory stated. "Our goal each year is to make it bigger and better. We have a full field in addition to several PGA Tour professionals and local club professionals as well."
Gregory also commented how important it is for SMU to continue to the tradition that is the Payne Stewart Cup.
"It's very special to honor Payne Stewart and all he meant and still means to SMU golf," Gregory said. "This is a special day for all of our supporters, former players and current players. It's also a day where we can promote our vision and the future of SMU golf."
About the Payne Stewart Cup:
Established in 1999, the Payne Stewart Cup is the primary fundraising event for SMU Men's Golf. In honor of Payne Stewart's commitment to SMU, the tournament bears not only his name and his likeness, but his spirit as well.
Held annually at a select, premier course in Dallas, the event features top business executives, former Mustang golfers, SMU Alumni and fans from the DFW region and beyond.
Having raised more than 1.5 million dollars in support of SMU, The Payne Stewart Cup regularly attracts nationally-renowned speakers and PGA Tour professionals.
About Payne Stewart:
Payne Stewart, one of the most popular professional golfers in history, was an 11-time PGA Tour winner, a three-time major champion and a 1979 graduate of SMU. Stewart played golf at SMU from 1975-79 and was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity on campus.
Stewart won the PGA Championship in 1989 at the Kemper Lakes Golf Club in Long Grove, Ill. After entering the final round six strokes off the lead, Stewart carded a final round 67 to win the Championship by one shot. Stewart also won two U.S. Open titles; in 1991 in a playoff over Scott Simpson and in 1999 by one stroke over Phil Mickelson.
The Springfield, Mo., native passed away just four months after his second U.S. Open victory as a result of a plane accident in Florida. In 2000, the PGA Tour established the Payne Stewart Award, given each year to a player who shows respect for the traditions of the game, commitment to uphold the game's heritage of charitable support and meticulous presentation of himself and the sport through his dress and conduct.
Stewart was posthumously inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2001 and the SMU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.

Necole Bitchie posted a blog on her experience interviewing Ciara live and in person. She says she hopes that "after watching the interview, people feel as though she [Ciara] is someone that they can relate to." Read her entry below . . .
'I can rock the stage all day but just knowing that my baby is there when I get home. That's the icing on the cake' -Ciara
Last week, I interviewed Ciara and I must say it was quite an interesting experience. First thing first, anyone who has read my old blog entries know that on-camera interviewing is a challenge for me. It's just something that I've never been comfortable with and for that reason alone, I don't do them often. [the exception has been Amber Rose, Big Sean and Lala]
Last year, I ran into Angie Martinez at an event in Los Angeles and I told her how much I loved her and how when I use to work in radio, I downloaded her interviews after her show every single day just to study her interviewing techniques. I said, 'You are amazing at interviewing' and she responded, 'I would think so after 20 years'. That was a reminder to me that anyone who has ever been great at anything, has practiced, practiced, practiced their craft. How am I ever going to get comfortable interviewing celebs in front of the cameras if I don't practice at it? You just don't step in front of the cameras and become Barbara Walters or Oprah overnight. After I thought about this carefully, I promised myself this year that I was going to challenge myself, face my fears and I was going to take this thing head on… so here I am.
Now Back to Ciara…
Before the interview even started I had a glass of wine and a shot of vodka (I know I know, tragic..but I had to calm my nerves. I was a wreck). Ciara finally arrived and we just about had on the same shirt. Like, you can't make this stuff up..lol!
Despite all of the behind the scenes stuff that was going on, I really enjoyed the interview. Ciara was very open and wasn't as guarded as I had expected her to be. I learned, just from my observation, that she still loves and cares for a certain rapper. She's completely over Amar'e Stoudemire and happy for his engagement because she feels as though, he did what was right for his situation and family. She's a hopeless romantic. Over the years, her career has taken up a lot of her time and now she wants to find someone that she can take the journey with; to share her success with and travel the world with. I believe I had somewhat of a wake up call during our interview, because she expressed a lot of things that I have been thinking about a lot but never really expressed. I too, wanted to experience the feeling of being loved and in love. She said, 'without love, you have nothing. At least in my book'.
If you go back and look at Ciara's videos and performances, ('Promise', 'Like A Boy', 'Oh', 'Goodies', 'Get Up' and so on), it's clear that she has the 'It' factor, but I think what has been holding her back for a few years is that people felt as though they didn't know who she was as a person. They didn't feel connected. My only hope is that after watching the interview, that people feel as though she is someone that they can relate to.
She was dope! [SOURCE]
The interview is to be released soon!

I refuse to believe it. How could the Admins take control of the Capitol? Did the absolute power of the Word corrupt their minds? Have they forgotten the laws laid out by the Progenitor Admin Architect? Have they confounded their priorities and lost their purpose? Sure, there was a time when Admins were hunted down as witches and burned alive and there are still places in our world that exterminate all users of the Word, but this was never the way of the Capitol! The Admins had status! They had acceptance and royalties from the Governor!
Perhaps none of this is true. The Chalice Knight must have grown too delusional in his quest for the Infinite Grail, which does not really exist. Such things happen. There cannot be an Admin uprising or a revolution in the Capitol, the whole idea is just too preposterous. I have decided. I will stay and face what comes my way. No Word can break the firewalls around the estate, these walls have lasted for generations against all manner of monsters, never mind some newfangled Mod. Why should I leave, simply because some old Chalicite is spreading nonsensical rumors? It is baseless to abandon the safety of my home.

Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is a modern, creative discipline encompassing a wide variety of technical
activities. The field is changing rapidly with the progress of the computer era, but the key element
that links all of the activities within mechanical engineering is design. The design function is now
largely computer-based and involves modeling, simulation, analysis, and synthesis.
Degree Requirements - Mechanical Engineering
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Degree
***Technical Electives are listed on the mechanical engineering program guide available in the department office.
Materials Science and Engineering
Materials science and engineering has evolved over the last 25 years from
metallurgical engineering, polymer chemistry, and ceramic science. It is increasingly
recognized as a key
engineering field that opens the door for new developments in other advanced
technologies. Over the past several decades, scientists and engineers have
successfully developed radically new materials.
Examples include lightweight alloys for structural use, composites of high-strength
fibers in ductile matrices, semiconductors for electronic devices, and, more
recently, high-temperature semiconductors.
These advances typify the challenge faced by materials engineers-to select,
modify, or develop the right materials for new applications and technologies.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2007 Article IV Consultation with NigeriaPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 08/16
February 15, 2008
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. The staff report (use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf file) for the YEAR Article IV Consultation with COUNTRY is also available.
On February 13, 2008, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Nigeria.1
Nigeria's economic performance has been strong since the last Article IV consultation. Output has grown strongly, inflation reduced to single digits, and the external and fiscal positions strengthened significantly. A burgeoning financial sector is supporting private activity. These gains reflect the implementation of an ambitious reform program that was guided by the homegrown Nigeria Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) and supported by a Policy Support Instrument 2005-07, as well as a favorable external environment and debt relief.
Economic growth is buoyed by strong performance of the tertiary sector against the backdrop of solid agriculture growth. Oil sector output at currently about 2.2. million barrel per day of crude remains below potential due to the unrest in the Niger Delta. The main obstacle to non-oil growth is the infrastructure gap, especially the lack of electricity. The recent strong performance of the telecommunication and financial sectors demonstrate the growth potential once regulatory frameworks are established and macroeconomic conditions are favorable.
Poverty remains high despite several years of solid growth. Poverty is estimated at about 55 percent based on the 2004 household survey and development indicators are low. The authorities are making efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and have established targeted programs financed, for example, through a virtual poverty fund with debt relief resources.
An oil-price-based fiscal rule was instrumental for realizing the benefits of the current oil boom and avoiding a repeat of past boom-bust cycles. This rule—centered on a prudent budget oil price—delinks fiscal spending from oil market developments and thereby helps manage domestic demand pressures in line with absorptive capacity. Oil revenue windfalls were directed into the "excess crude account" and used to build up savings and repay most external debt. The budget oil price is also an important parameter for macroeconomic planning in the recently signed federal Fiscal Responsibility Act.
Nigeria is increasingly integrating into global financial markets. Interest in naira assets has been spurred by improved macroeconomic conditions, reduced external vulnerabilities, and global liquidity developments. Hence, since 2005 bank capital has increased two fold, government securities trading five fold, and stock market capitalization four fold.
The financial sector is expanding rapidly, supporting private sector activity. A bank consolidation and recapitalization program—effective from 2006—has formed stronger banks. Banks are increasing their lending to the private sector including for larger projects, for example, in the oil sector. They are strengthening their treasury capacity to offer new products found in other emerging markets, and they are expanding into cross-border and cross-sector activities.
Inflation has been brought down to single digits, while the changes in macroeconomic conditions and the financial market bring new challenges for monetary management. With increasing capital flows, reduced inflation and a unified exchange rate, money demand is expanding and less stable. Hence, targeting of monetary aggregates is becoming less reliable and the central bank is planning to adopt inflation targeting.
Nigeria's external position is favorable. International reserves exceed US$54 billion as of end-January 2008. The remaining external debt of US$3.3 billion at end-2007 is largely to multilateral creditors. Foreign exchange markets have improved. The introduction of the Wholesale Dutch Auction System (WDAS) in early 2006 replaced a retail DAS. Regulatory changes in 2006 led to a unification of foreign exchange markets. More recently, the interbank foreign exchange market has become more important owing to an increase in private foreign exchange flows.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the authorities for Nigeria's strong macroeconomic performance during the last several years. Growth is high, inflation is in single digits, and external debt is low. The economic outlook is favorable, provided that appropriate policies are maintained.
Directors highlighted the essential role that prudent fiscal policies—in particular, the oil-price-based fiscal rule—have played in achieving macroeconomic stability. They encouraged the authorities to secure agreement with the states on a fiscal framework that would continue to delink spending from oil revenue flows, and thus protect macroeconomic stability and the positive outlook for faster growth, reducing poverty, and attaining the Millennium Development Goals.
Directors considered the government's medium-term fiscal strategy a sound foundation for fiscal policies, and encouraged the authorities to adhere to the strategy's deficit targets. Spending on priority areas has increased appropriately during the last few years within a prudent resource envelope and in line with absorptive capacity, providing scope to address pressing infrastructure needs. At the same time, Directors cautioned that if overall spending were to again increase significantly, medium-term prospects for non-oil growth would likely deteriorate, to the detriment of development and poverty alleviation efforts.
Directors encouraged the authorities to finalize and implement the debt management framework, including at the level of state and local governments. They supported the authorities' intention to rely only on concessional external financing, to avoid the re-accumulation of unsustainable debt.
Directors recognized the challenges for monetary management arising from less predictable money demand, owing to the rapidly changing financial system and increased capital flows. They took note of the central bank's plans to introduce inflation targeting at the appropriate juncture, while emphasizing the importance of improving the understanding of the inflation process and the monetary policy transmission mechanism. In this regard, they welcomed the authorities' intention to move forward with an inflation targeting regime only once the institutional underpinnings for it are firmly in place.
Directors welcomed Nigeria's increasing integration into global financial markets and the growth opportunities this creates. This is attributable in large part to the successful bank consolidation program, which has strengthened the banking sector. Directors encouraged the authorities to stay ahead of developments in the financial sector, and move forward with plans to further strengthen banking supervision.
Directors agreed that the balance of payments outlook is consistent with external stability, and that the projected modest current account surplus reflects an appropriate balance between Nigeria's status as a low-income country and as an oil producer. Most Directors viewed favorably the increased flexibility in Nigeria's exchange rate, which should help support the authorities' monetary policy objectives.
Directors emphasized the need for ongoing structural reforms to maintain the growth momentum. The private sector environment has been strengthened, but more needs to be done. Directors encouraged the authorities to move forward to address the infrastructure gap and to strengthen further the public financial management system.
Directors welcomed the authorities' intention to maintain a close ongoing dialogue with the Fund, possibly in the context of a second Policy Support Instrument.

Three awards will be handed out by the Geneva Lake Area Chamber of Commerce at its annual meeting Sept. 11.
The award for Outstanding Citizen is going to Larry Magee, who died earlier this year.
His wife, Vern, will accept the award.
Magee lived in Lake Geneva nearly his entire life having moved from Fennimore when he was 10 years old.
He went to school, married, raised his family and worked in southeastern Wisconsin for the telephone company.
Magee "dedicated much of his retirement years to giving back to the community," according to a press release from the chamber.
"Larry knew every back road (and county letter designation) and 'shortcut' through his work in the area," the press release said.
He did telephone work on many of the old lakeshore estates and was involved in the telephone wiring during the building of Grand Geneva (formerly the Playboy Club).
Larry enjoyed traveling, but Lake Geneva was always home.
"He recognized that a community is a reflection of the people and as such, it was his thoughtfulness and care of the town where he was educated, worked and raised his family that prompted him to run for alderman of the Lake Geneva City Council," the chamber said. "As anyone who has served in a leadership role for a municipality, a church or any nonprofit, the leadership jobs are labors of love and demand much time and patience with a true long-term vision balanced with a diligence to accomplish results in the short-term. Larry did just this for Lake Geneva and all the citizens."
He served on the city council from 1994 to 1998 and again from 2002-2008. He was the mayor's aldermanic representative on the utility commission from 2004-2008 and on a variety of city committees.
When he was on the council, Magee supported the renovation of the Riviera Beach House, a beautiful new beach entrance building, enhanced sidewalks around Library Park, a new city hall and police headquarters, an additional water tower for the growing population, an attractive and functional business industrial park, numerous public spaces for children and the city's support of the Geneva Lake Museum.
When Magee's term ended in 2008, he continued to serve the community and was appointed as a citizen representative on the utility commission acting as the secretary at the time of his death in April.
"Larry was conscientious of his responsibilities and duties of the volunteer work entrusted to him," the press release said.
"If you ask those who worked with him or anyone who talked with him about a Lake Geneva topic, he listened, he thought about the varied perspectives and he was always looking toward the benefit of the community now and for the future. Larry was a citizen who enjoyed living in this area and gave freely of his time so others could enjoy it, too."
The 2013 Community Betterment Award recipient is John Halverson/ Lake Geneva Regional News.
The chamber press release noted that Halverson, the general manager and editor of the Regional News has spent almost 40 years in the newspaper business. He worked on both daily and weekly papers as a reporter, columnist, editor and general manager.
He was general manager of The Week, a Walworth County feature paper, for almost 20 years.
Halverson joined the Lake Geneva Regional News in 2009 as general manager. Editor was added to his title in 2012.
The Regional News has won several state and national awards, including the general excellence award recognizing it as the best paper in the state of its size when judged against other papers for editorial quality.
Besides the general excellence award, it also won first place in its circulation class for "Web Excellence" In addition, the paper's ReelLifeTV product won two firsts.
The 2013 Lake Geneva Convention & Visitors Bureau Hospitality Award recipient is the Lake Lawn Resort.
"Since reopening under new management in 2011, Lake Lawn has received more than $7 million in capital improvements, renovations and additions," the press release said.
Facilities have expanded to include the full-service Calladora Spa, Isle of Capri Café, and Lakewood complex featuring 48 rooms and suites along with a new outdoor pool and lakeside fire pit.
Lake Lawn has also updated its lobby and main entrance, expanded the golf pro-shop, added new pontoons and speedboats to their marina's fleet, and relocated their fitness center to provide sweeping lake views.
Lake Lawn's grounds have been transformed through beautification efforts such as the addition of 200 new trees, vibrant landscaping along the front drive and planting of colorful flowerbeds throughout.
Chamber President John Stensland welcomes the opportunity to join all Lake Geneva area residents and congratulate this year's award recipients.
The event is from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at Grand Geneva. It is open to the public; a fee is charged.
Evening arrangements include a dinner buffet. Wine and beer are included. Cocktails are available for purchase. Additional information and tickets are available from the Chamber at 201 Wrigley Drive, Lake Geneva or by calling (262) 248-4416.

NVIDIA® Nsight™ Eclipse Edition (NSEE) is a full-featured unified CPU+GPU integrated development environment(IDE) that lets you easily develop CUDA applications for either your local (x86_64) system or a remote (x86_64 or ARM) target system. In my last post on remote development of CUDA applications, I covered NSEE's cross compilation mode. In this post I will focus on the using NSEE's synchronized project mode.
For remote development of CUDA applications using synchronized-project mode, you can edit code on the host system and synchronize it with the target system. In this scenario, the code is compiled natively on the target system as Figure 1 shows.
In synchronized project mode the host system does not need an ARM cross-compilation tool chain, so you have the flexibility to use Mac OS X or any of the CUDA supported x86_64 Linux platforms as the host system. The remote target system can be a CUDA-supported x86_64 Linux target or an ARM-based platform like the Jetson TK1 system. I am using Mac OS X 10.8.5 on my host system (with Xcode 5.1.1 installed) and 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 on my target system. Continue reading

The other day I was in my bedroom when I heard my husband warn my youngest son, "I wouldn't go in there." "Oh, is Mom having one of her moods?" Is mom having one of her moods? I wanted to scream just because my hormones are raging, my personal thermostat is out of sync and my memory is fading does not mean my hearing has been jeopardized and just what do you mean by 'one of her moods?'
I recently spied a video available on the internet that reaches out to children in an effort to educate them on how to deal with their mom's menopause symptoms. The video prepares the child for a storm of activity that he or she will not necessarily understand, but attempts to assure them that this is just a phase their mother is going through and it is not their fault. Between seeing this video and over hearing the recent warning from my spouse to our own child, I realized that perhaps there really is a need for a warning system for peri-menopausal women and all the various relationships in their lives from children to spouses, coworkers to neighbors. Maybe we should bring back those public service announcements from the days of our youth that would question, "It's 10 o'clock; do you know where your hormones are?" In fact, why stop there? I think there is a need for a new and improved Emergency BROAD-Cast System. Now, let's not get too offended. The word broad after all was originated in the 1930's meaning woman and it was derived from the fact that the most defining characteristic of all females are their hips, which are proportionally wider than the hips of their male counterparts, thus the term broad. I don't know about you, but my hips are becoming proportionally wider than a lot of things these days, but that's a story for another day.
In an effort to not be offensive, because after all I am trying to be of public service, the new system could be called The Emergency Mood Swing System and the script would be something like this…..This is a test of the Emergency Mood Swing System…this is only a test. If this had been an actual mood swing, the attention getting signal you just heard (door slamming, foot stomping or pan clanking) would have been followed by irrational information, news or instructions such as walk the dog, is the laundry just supposed to wash itself or fix your own damn dinner. We advise you to stay prepared for additional outbursts as well as plans for evacuation. Stay tuned to this channel for further instructions. This concludes this test of The Emergency Mood Swing System.
Perhaps a system similar to those used to identify the severity of an approaching hurricane could be a useful indicator for those by-standers who find themselves suddenly in the location of a woman experiencing her first storm of peri-menopausal activity. Each category would be defined by the actual severity of the symptom as well as probable events associated with each category.
A Category One: Increased pressure with a swell of activity around the waist line.
A Category Two: A tropical depression. A combination of unexpected warm conditions at night leading to increased mood swings with day time highs of irritability.
A Category Three: Record breaking periods of heat followed by high amounts of perspiration and increasing amounts of tear fall. Expect one to two inches.
A Category Four: Extended periods of irritability, increased dryness in the Southern regions and a high pressure of instability. A dramatic rise in heat to be followed by gusting winds and frigid temperatures during the overnight hours as the thermostat on the ac plummets. Prepare for possible mandatory evacuation to sofa for those directly located in the storm's path or one foolish enough to interfere with operation of the ceiling fan or air conditioning.

Jenkins put UCLA ahead at 9:02. Sarah Killion sent through ball to Jenkins from the left side and slotted it past the goalkeeper inside the box from 12 yards out.
"It's always important to try to get a goal in the first five to 10 minutes of the game, and we've been really good about that this year," said UCLA head coach Amanda Cromwell. "Killion played a great through ball to Darian. Things we worked on all week came to fruition on that goal, and Darian put it away again."
The Bruins threatened to increase the lead after the initial goal. Killion on a shot after a corner kick and Richmond on a run up the middle had shots saved, and Caprice Dydasco's curling shot hit the crossbar in the 32nd minute.
UCLA's defense was strong, stopping any scoring opportunities in the first half. Defender Abby Dahlkemper snuffed a scoring threat from forward Lynn Williams in the 30th minute, and Rowland two saves on Williams shots in the 35th and 39th minutes.
Pepperdine was aggressive to start the second half, but Bruin players made big defensive plays to stop the threats. Megan Oyster made a good tackle on Williams to strip her of the ball in the opening minutes, and in the 50th minute, Killion blocked a Williams shot in the box that forced the shot wide.
The Bruins moved ahead 2-0 in the 59th minute on an own goal when a Pepperdine defender kicked the ball into her own net while trying to defend a play created by Annie Alvarado.
Goalkeeper Katelyn Rowland made six saves and picked up her fourth shutout of the season as UCLA improved to 7-1. Pepperdine dropped to 4-3-1.

The cast of "Modern Family" is getting another big vacation to use as a major storyline in the show. According to TV Line on Jan. 8, the cast of "Modern Family" will be flying to Australia for another big series of vacation episodes.
This isn't the first big vacation episode of "Modern Family." The group also took vacations to Hawaii and Wyoming, but this one will be the farthest from home. The trip will be co-sponsored by ABC and Qantas airlines, who will fly the cast and crew as well as show runner Steven Levitan to Australia for two weeks in February.
Levitan pointed out how much the cast and crew loved the vacation episodes in Hawaii and Wyoming, which each spanned numerous episodes of the show. The Hawaii episodes ended with the big event of Phil and Claire renewing their wedding vows since they never had a real wedding in the first place.
Levitan, in classic "Modern Family" fashion talked about how ambitious the Australia trip will be and speculated that there would be a kangaroo, a koala and a boomerang in the episodes. He then admitted that is all he knows about Australia because the American school system is "a disaster."
He also said the best thing about "Modern Family" taking a vacation in Australia is that everyone in the country looks like Hugh Jackman and Miranda Kerr. The "Modern Family" vacation episode will air later this season.

The other day I read an article about scented nail polish and it got me thinking. What if instead of the nail polish coming in ridiculous scents like grape and cotton candy (um, hello! we're adults) it could smell like your favorite designer fragrance? I let my creative (and photoshop) juices flow and came up with a few examples of what I would like.
Dior J'adore Nail Lacquer would be my beauty dream come true. They'd be super multi-dimensional with crystallized pigments that look like crushed jewels. When they dried they would have the scent of my signature fragrance, Dior J'adore. They'd probably retail for $30 and I would buy every single one of them! Of course they'd be shaped like the fragrance bottle because they're super limited edition and highly coveted.
Named after the French flag. A royal blue jelly base with flecks of red and white glitter.
Named after one of France's most notoriously stinky cheeses. A champagne colored sheer base with 3 sizes of hex glitter in antique gold, champagne and light gold.
"Ciel Nocturne"
Named after the night sky as seen from the French countryside. A Black base with hyper-reflective multi-chrome glass-fleck finish.
"Rosas Salvajes"
Named after wild roses. A deep red-pink jelly base with glass-fleck shimmers of gold and baby pink.
If you could create your own dream product what would it be?

We've got a hot date at the German Bierhaus tomorrow night, and we've decided to play it safe and sexy (no, that isn't an oxymoron...) by wearing this Mustard Scallop Trim Tank ($41). With its open back and sweet scallop edging, we'll look hot as well as hip - and the mustard hue will also minimize the embarrassing stains when we inevitably drop bratwurst toppings onto ourselves. Wunderbar!

Senior Stephanie Kono and former UCLA All-America Maria Jose Uribe were still in the hunt for victory after Thursday's second round of the LPGA Qualifying School Tournament in Daytona Beach, FL.
Winds increased and so did scores in the second round. Kono carded a cool 71 (-1) and was at six-under par 138. She trailed leader Christine Song by two shots. Uribe climbed into a tie for sixth place -- an improvement of seven spots -- with an even par 72 and was at one-under par 143. Both competitors played the Legends Course at LPGA International.
"The wind picked up on the back nine, where it was definitely a two-club wind at times," said Kono, a Honolulu native. "This is not an easy course and with the wind, it's a beast. Even par is a really good score here.
"Bogeys are going to happen here, and if you're not paying attention, it can get away from you fast," she added.
Kono had three bogeys and four birdies on her card. At the 18th with a 20-mph wind in her face, she stiffed a 5-wood 175 yards to one foot and finished with a birdie.
Former Bruin Hannah Jun had a tougher time on the Legends course, signing for an 80 (+8) and dropping into a tie for 97th at 153 (+9). Senior Brianna Do carded a 77 (+5) on Thursday and was tied for 118th at 155 (+11).
After 72 holes, the 139-player field will be cut to the low 70 players and ties for the final 18 holes. Players making the cut will compete in the final round on the LPGA Champions Course. The top 40 players and ties following Sunday's round will receive 2012 LPGA membership.

Baritone Nathan Gunn, accompanied by his wife, Julie Gunn and the Pacifica Quartet, took center stage at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall last night in a concert of English art songs ranging from late 19th century to modern day. With new arrangements by Mr. And Mrs. Gunn, and a world premier by Pulitzer Prize winning composer Jennifer Higdon, the evening proved to be more than the average night of voice and music.
Rare is the artist who posses a rich purity of tone with a dark brooding underbelly, yet is also able to flex a smooth, crystal clear resonance all at the same time. Nathan Gunn is such an artist. And never was this fact more clear than during his most recent New York recital.
In the first act, Mr. Gunn sang George Butterworth's "Loveliest of trees." Any and every student of voice knows this song, yet this setting is one that truly allows the text to shine through, rather than the music itself. The text throughout was interpreted with Mr. Gunn's crisp, clear diction. Sadly, a feat rarely accomplished by native English singers.
Mr. Gunn's best work came in Butterworth's "Is my team ploughin." A deeply reflective call-and-response piece that held the audience in rapt silence. In this piece, both Mr. and Mrs. Gunn shared with us a story (the interutation of which I leave to the listener), and allowed us to truly connect with one another.
The second act began with some playful pieces by Charles Ives. Notably his "Circus Band" which Mr. Gunn was able to make real comedy of.
This was followed by Paul Bowles' Blue Mountain Ballads. Each of the four pieces showcased Mr. Gunn's ability to tell a story in song. I liken him to James Cagney in that his philosophy of acting was to plant your feet and tell the truth. That is exactly what Mr. Gunn did with this set. His is exactly the kind of voice one wants to hear sing these songs.
The final piece was Jennifer Higdon's Dooryard Bloom. The text came from Walt Whitman's "When Lilacs Last by the Dooryard Bloom'd" written shortly after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. This piece was originally written for baritone and full orchestra, but this was the world premier of the more scaled-down version. It was in this piece where the Pacifica Quartet was able to strut their stuff and be noticed. They ebbed and flowed as one billowing musical unit. Heaving and keening together in Hidgon's darkly toned score. She purposefully wrote this piece to ask many questions musically. And that is exactly what she accomplished. One is free to answer these questions, but, at least according to Ms. Higdon, there is no right or wrong answer.
The piece was so dark, in fact, that they felt the need to end the concert with a warm Irish musical send off.
On the eve of April 22, 2013, American baritone Nathan Gunn proclaimed that the re-scheduled concert with his wife at the piano, and Pacifica Quartet, was 5 years in the making. 5 years is far too long to have to wait for these forces to regroup on any stage. It is this examiners wish that the New York concert-going public, indeed any public, not have to wait that long to hear them make their beautiful music together again.

The Packard Plant
The History of the real Packard Plant - Detroit, MI
History is a cruel mistress and looking at The Packard Plants present state, it's hard to believe cars as beautiful as this 1934 Packard V-12 LeBaron Sport Coupe emerged from its doors in it's hay day.
Known simply as "The Packard" in Detroit parlance, the first stone was set in 1903, when the Packard Motor Car Company made the move from Warren, Ohio, to its new home on Detroit's East Grand Boulevard. Thus was set in motion a tumultuous century-long existence that would rise and fall with the city's fortunes. Designed by renowned architect Albert Kahn, the Packard was up and running by 1907, and quickly became a sprawling complex that stood as a testament to the sheer enormity and clout of the industrial revolution. At the company's peak in 1943, Packard employed some 36,000 people, almost all of them in Detroit. In addition to automobiles, the factory also contributed heartily to both war efforts, cranking out aircraft and marine engines for the U.S. and its allies. The last Packard automobile rolled off the line here in 1954, and the last plant caretaker was laid off in 1958.
Packard Avenue 1930's
Packard Avenue 2010's
By the time the century came to a close, the Packard was ground zero for graffiti artists, scrappers, urban explorers, illegal dumping, raves, and would-be arsonists. Today she crumbles, remarkably beautiful in her urban decay; a symbol both of Detroit's proud past and current hard times.

Volume: 26 Issue: 6 (June 2003)
Anime Anthology
Michael Arias is a producer of The Animatrix, a series of diverse animated short films based on The Matrix film trilogy (see "The Matrix: Anime-ted,").
The Animatrix, an encyclopedia of anime styles, offers a unique new way to expand a franchise
Why did you decide to supplement The Matrix films with the nine short animations in The Animatrix rather than use more traditional approaches such as a television series?
Television production by its very nature does not allow for the degree of handcrafted quality that the Wachowskis [Larry and Andy, directors of The Matrix and supervisors of The Animatrix] were after. The idea was to get their favorite directors doing "theatrical quality" shorts. In fact, that was one of the incentives to get the directors involved in the project. Also, the reason that we used animation at all was simply because the Wachowskis love it.
: Why did you use so many different animators to expand The Matrix story?
This animated omnibus, or anthology, is a common format in Japanese theatrical animation. There are some great titles—"Memories" and "Manie Manie," for example—that boast similarly varied formats, although I don't think anyone has taken the concept this far yet. In any case, this approach seemed like a natural choice. The Wachowskis had already been doing Matrix comic anthologies, and I don't think anyone had the patience to wait for a full-length animated Matrix feature.
How did you ensure that the shorts were complementary to the film series?
: One guiding principal was that all of the stories had to fit into the Matrix universe. And of course we had several stories originated by Andy and Larry (including "Kid's Story," "Final Flight," and "Second Renaissance") that were great templates for work that would follow. And certainly none of the directors wanted to do anything too similar to each other. In fact, there was definitely an element of competition to the work.
How will these animations generate revenue?
Through sales of a DVD of the shorts being released in the US and Japan in June. Also, there will be a limited theatrical release in certain territories.
What has been the reception by audiences so far?
Fantastic. For many I think it has been their first taste of really good anime.
How will The Animatrix benefit The Matrix films?
To be honest, I think The Animatrix will benefit much more from The Matrix than The Matrix will benefit from us. But in the larger sense, one cool thing is that the franchise—all three films, the games, the comics, and The Animatrix—is really an enormous interactive artwork. And that is quite exciting. The fact that you are seeing the same universe from all these different angles, as seen by many different artists sharing a particular vision—that's truly unique.
What impact will this have on future films?
The impact of Japanese animation on films such as The Matrix series, The Terminator series, and so on is already significant. Several of our animators just completed animated sequences on Tarantino's new film, Kill Bill. I think The Animatrix will be extremely influential in this sense, since it is really an encyclopedia of styles and techniques.
What impact will it have on gaming, television, and Web-based entertainment?
The degree of impact of a project like this will have will depend on its financial success. Animation is expensive. If it seems cheap, that's only because the Japanese animation industry has been artificially depressed—kind of a reverse economic bubble, if you will. I'm not really sure what kind of impact it might have, but I certainly hope that, beyond its impact on other media, that this project, being that it is the first of its kind, casts a long shadow for a while. ..

When I was a little kid, my brother and I found my mom's manual breast pump when we were playing one day.
It was the coolest toy EVER.
Until my mom explained how she used it.
Then we gagged and yelled things like "GRODY TO THE MAX!"
We played with regular toys after that.
The end.

Pre-Market Primer: European Political Uncertainty Clouds Markets
Vincent Trivett
It looks like Bill Ackman's short of Herbalife might work out.
Stock futures signaled a lower open this morning after an economy-fuelled rally on Friday as European concerns come into focus.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy is facing calls to resign on allegations that he and his political party received illegal kickbacks. The country's bond yields rose this morning after news of the scandal broke. The 10-year Spanish bond yields 5.34%, 13 basis points higher than Friday. With corruption as a backdrop, Spaniards found out today that unemployment is continuing to rise. In January, another 132,000 workers in the country fell into joblessness.
Bond yields are also up in Italy as the country prepares for a general election that might result in PM Mario Monti's reforms getting rolled back. Silvio Berlusconi's party is now promising to abolish the income tax and refund tax revenue collected since Monti put the policy in place.
European economic indicators offered a bit of a silver lining to the political uncertainty. Producer prices fell 0.2% on a monthly basis in December 2012, meeting estimates. Prices were 2.1% higher than in December 2011. Investor confidence, measured by Sentix, hit an 19-month high of -3.9 in February, signaling that investors are less pessimistic.
After breaking through 14,000 for the first time in five years,
(INDEXDJX:.DJI) futures are 0.37% lower at 13,879.
(INDEXSP:.INX) futures are down 0.39% to 1,500.80 and
(INDEXNASDAQ:.IXIC) futures slipped 0.34% to 2,747.25. Asian and European equity indices all declined today and oil futures fell more than 1%.
Later this morning, December factory orders data will be released. Economists expect the index to jump 2.3% after going nowhere in November. Last week, the Institute for Supply Management said that manufacturing hit a nine-month high.
Yesterday, China said that its official non-manufacturing PMI rose a tenth of a point to 56.1 in January. (Readings over 50 signify expansion of the sector.)
(NASDAQ:DELL) could see heavy trading today as multiple reports say that private equity firms could take the computer company private early this week. The offering price is said to be between $13 and $15. Shares are up slightly at $13.65 in the premarket ahead of the buyout.
(NYSE:HLF) shares dropped 13.32% this morning on news that it is being investigated by the Federal Trade Commission. The multi-level marketing company is the target of a massive short sell by Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management, who says that the company is a pyramid scheme.

(NYSE:HUM) reported earnings of $1.19 per share, beating expectations by $0.12. Revenue rose 6% to $9.56 billion, missing expectations. The health-care company's net profit fell 3.6%. Its updated EPS forecast for the current quarter is $1.75 to $1.85, versus analyst estimates of $1.53.

If you are a home builder you will be required to build the home in accordance with NHBC standards. Chapter 3.1 "Low or Zero Carbon Technologies" has been introduced to ensure expected standards are met with regards to the installation of Air Source Heat Pumps.
It is a concern of the NHBC that certification in accordance with the standard has not been readily available, resulting in too few systems undergoing satisfactory independent assessment. It is worth reinforcing the point that any low to zero carbon technology installed in homes covered by the NHBC should have current certification confirming assessment by an appropriate independant technical authority.
Eden Heating Solutions Ltd is a Migrogeneration Ceritification Scheme (MCS) approved installer of heat pumps. If you are installing an Air Source Heat Pump yourself and are looking to have the installation assessed and accredited, we can offer certification in accordance with MCS that is normally accepted by NHBC.
Once you have completed the installation we will send one of our engineers out to visit you on site and perform the inspection. Providing everything is in accordance with MCS standards we will commission your installation and register the installation on the MCS database once our one off fee has been settled.
Should the installation fail the assessment we will provide you with a full report and agree a timescale for you to make the requirment alterations.
If you are seeking to have your installation assessed and accredited please contact us today.

Herbie Nichols: Applejackin'
Herbie Nichols (piano)
The Complete Blue Note Recordings (Blue Note CDP 7243 8 59352 2 0)
Herbie Nichols (piano), Al McKibbon (bass), Max Roach (drums).
Recorded: New York, August 7, 1955
Rating: 98/100 (learn more)
Herbie Nichols remains one of the most under-recognized figures in jazz history, but luckily his entire output for Blue Note is available as a three-CD set. "Applejackin'" is a lively little piece of music with an almost childlike theme. Much has been made of the unusual structures Nichols's compositions utilized, but it is worth considering his music apart from its usefulness in music theory courses. Here is a bright little sketch one could imagine coming from Thelonious Monk's songbook, but Nichols's style of performing is much different – on beat, in key, totally unselfconscious. He returns again and again to the theme – a skipping, happy phrase played twice before spiraling upward – while fleshing it out with his impromptu thoughts.

Why We Believe Jews Need Jesus
- Details
- Category: Jewish Evangelism
- Last Updated on October 01, 2015
What happens when the most loving thing you can do is tell someone something they do not want to hear?
This is exactly the issue with Jewish evangelism. Our Jewish people do not want to hear the gospel; many think they know what we are going to say and have already decided it does not apply to them. The most loving thing we can do is to tell them, as carefully as possible, what Jesus has done for them. Yet many Christians are finding it difficult to believe that Jews really do need Jesus. Why?
The Jewish people have walked a long road of persecution. Sadly, church history has been a major intersection on that road. Christians are becoming increasingly aware of that history, and of the fact that some who claimed to represent Jesus used His name to commit atrocities against the Jewish people. Many Christians are now deeply sensitized to anything that smacks of anti-Semitism. As Jews for Jesus, we are grateful for that sensitivity, especially when it leads people to be extra tactful and loving in sharing the gospel.
At the same time, some Christian friends have taken their sensitivity in a different direction. They have concluded that Jewish people do not need Jesus, and that it is unkind and arrogant—even anti-Semitic—to suggest that they do. In many cases, these conclusions are drawn from discussions with Jewish friends whose opinions these Christians greatly value.
And yet Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me" (John 14:6). We believe that accepting Christ's claims means accepting the privilege and the burden of communicating His claims to others, even if they are insulted by the prospect.
In Romans 11, the Apostle Paul spoke of a partial hardening, a spiritual blindness that has come to the people of Israel. If the Bible is not God's truth for us, such talk about blindness and hardening is demeaning. But if the Bible is true, the reality is that Jewish people as a whole are committed to disbelieving the gospel because they cannot, at this point in history, see the truth. Paul says this "partial blindness" is not complete, nor is it permanent. Most people know that Jesus' first followers were Jewish, and that the first Christian missionaries were "converted Jews" preaching the gospel to Gentiles. Yet, in a sense, they were not converted Jews—they were converted sinners who happened to be Jewish. And they remained Jewish, never renouncing their heritage or the faith of their ancestors. They were part of a believing remnant of Jews whom God is calling to follow Jesus. We Jews for Jesus are part of that believing remnant, and God is blessing our efforts to add to that remnant.
As Jews who believe in Jesus, we sympathize with those who feel offended by the gospel, yet we do not accept the notion that it is offensive to tell Jewish people about Jesus. We Jews who have found faith and everlasting life in Jesus recall how we once felt. Most of us considered anyone who confronted us with the gospel a minor annoyance at best, if not a major aggravation. Now we thank God for those who cared enough to tell us what we did not wish to hear.
Our mission is not to intrude. It is simply to call attention to the Savior in ways that Jewish people cannot dismiss as being for someone else. We believe it is possible to draw attention to Jesus in respectful, loving and good-natured ways.
We are grateful for the many Christians who stand with us and are willing to face discomfort for the sake of Christ, and for their concern to see Jewish friends heaven bound. Still, the controversial nature of our cause makes it difficult for us to gain the friendship and support of many Christians who feel it's not polite to tell people who have their own religion that they need Jesus.
We do not buttonhole or force people to converse with us. Once we present people with an invitation to interact with our message—be it a gospel tract, a billboard, a gospel ad or even a phone call—they can choose to avoid, embrace or seek further information about Jesus.
How does the Jewish community respond to Jews for Jesus?
We have organized opposition that, oddly enough, encourages us. Our opposition points to the fact that more and more Jews are coming to faith in Jesus. We are honored to be "blamed," but God deserves the credit. We lift up Jesus, but He alone can draw Jews and Gentiles to Himself.
Since we are highly visible, many Jewish leaders have denounced our organization. Many attempt to "de-legitimize" us. Some do so by alleging that we are a cult or an exotic new religion. Most will say we are dishonest and disingenuous for refusing to give up our Jewish identity since they believe anyone who believes in Jesus cannot be Jewish. In part, their attempts to undermine our credibility are intended to keep Jewish seekers away from us. However, our opposition also understands that we depend upon the friendship and support of our brothers and sisters in Christ. Statements undermining the integrity of Jewish evangelism in general and Jews for Jesus in particular drive a wedge between us and many members of Christ's Body.
How successful is your opposition?
When it comes to keeping Jewish people from hearing us, our opposition mostly affects those who are not prepared to "go against the flow." Frankly, Jewish people who would seriously consider Jesus are already questioning religious authorities and realizing they must investigate certain issues for themselves. Some may initially be leery of Jews for Jesus because of things they have heard. Yet when the time comes, chances are they will find out for themselves who we are and what we believe.
Ironically, our opposition seems to have more success within the Church. It has become increasingly popular among liberal and even among some not-so-liberal Christians to say that Jews have salvation apart from Christ. Therefore, they say that evangelizing Jewish people is an unnecessary, even un-Christian, endeavor. This is what happens when Christians view the Great Commission through the eyes of unbelieving friends and colleagues.
Whereas empathy for the sensitivities of Jewish people is appreciated, it becomes tragic when allowed to take the place of a Bible-based philosophy of missions. How can one surmise from Scripture that it is insulting to speak to Jews of the love of Jesus, who came as a Jew? How can it be insulting to tell of the great sacrifice He made for all people? How can it be insulting to offer the abundant life He gives?
Unbelieving Jewish people who are willing to go against the flow to explore the gospel have a sense of what is at stake—their own salvation. Unfortunately, for some Christians, the friendship or respect of unsaved Jewish people seems to determine their view of Jewish evangelism. Saying that Jesus is the only way to salvation would mean risking rejection. Further, a Christian leader who publicly endorses Jews for Jesus may draw quite a bit of fire, and few are willing to do so over this issue. As Jews who are for Jesus, we have no choice but to make the statements and take the fire.
If we were not convinced that Jesus is the only way of salvation, we would not have given up the respect and acceptance of the Jewish community. Since we are convinced that the salvation of our people is at stake, we have to reach out and take the risk.
We are looking for more people who are willing to take the risk with us.
Please prayerfully consider the cause of Jewish evangelism and ways to be involved: perhaps through finances, prayer, talking to your pastor about having one of our speakers, or maybe even volunteer work. We will gladly send more information about these opportunities.

While trying to explain to my husband that there are actual Jews who believe that Jesus is the Son of God & our Lord & Savior, I came across a site (stating that it is the best place to go for all things Jewish), the actual beliefs stated there (about Jesus & why they don't believe He is the Messiah) shocked me when the implications became apparent. Their "Messiah" that they're waiting for, along with the events surrounding his coming, ring true to the attributes of the Anti-Christ and the New World Order! People who don't know better will be deceived by the "World Peace & Harmony" facade, which we know will be false and will usher in the Anti-Christ. Like a comment below states, the son of perdition must first be revealed before the true 2nd coming of our Messiah, Jesus Christ.
God Bless you all!
did you know it is also culminates with the feast of trumpets and the last blood moon ?... Just saying !
Can Jews4Jesus mention the actual name of our Creator (tetragrammaton)? And can a uncircumcised gentile become a member of Jews4Jesus? Thank you in advance.
Luke, there are many uncircumcised Jews too, But many of them have God and Jesus in their heart, they are save.Hallelujah. The law of Moses was given by Our God, the God of the whole world, Because of the wicked hearts of the people.
I regret that some if not all the so-called ministers that you listed are what true and knowing Christians refer to as "prosperity" preachers!!! Their god is really money and therefore every move that they make, no matter how sincere on the surface, is toward securing more of their littles gods!! They are opportunistic by nature and I sincerely believe that they are truly lost being, in reality, idolators!!!
DEAR LEE, lost as you? you said all, may I say this to you, not all the Jewish people worshiped the gold Idol, in Moses times, But few did not. Same with the Christians, some are false some are real Christians, They keep the whole bible they believe in God and Jesus His Son, they will not worship Idols.
I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I'd like to say that I'm happy that Jews for Jesus exist and I'll have to give my verbal support.
According to Joseph Smith, the whole Jewish Nation will convert to Christianity after seeing Jesus on the Mount of Olives. After that, he will claim the new Temple for his own.
That does not mean that you should stop, however. Keep on going to the Jews here in America as well as in Israel.
v3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, v4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God[c] in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
It is antichrist who will be seating in the 3rd temple.
what could you possibly hope to achieve by that? and what was even the meaning of it?????? it was so stupid that I can never be bothered with you again- just a tip in case you want to know the effect of that stupidity. It's also deeply offensive!!!
We pray and standing with Israel .We pray for recovery to Israel.
I do like this posting! Really!
But at the same time I feel that it might be the best choice if believing Jews tell the gospel to their own fellow jews. Doing so many arguments that gojim believers have to tackel don't need to be tackled at all. I therefore want to bless all of you who tell the message of Yeshua to your fellow jews! Peter went to the jews to be a servant to the jews! Do so all of you! We want to bless you doing so!
Paul as a roman citizen got the special mission to tell the gospel to the gentiles. They/we have to pass it on to other gentiles. But of course, when God sends a jew on my life path I will try to tell him that I love the jews because of one very special JEW!
Pathetic. Christians mistranslate the Jewish bible and tell lies. Jesus is a big confidence trick
Mark, have you read Isaiah chapter 53: how he died for our sins?? no, have you read Isaiah 9:6 no. John 3:16,17,18. no, that is why you say the wrong things you said, against Jesus Christ.

Question: As a pre-k classroom teacher with a diagnosed student with disability, what are effective means of communication and/or collaboration strategies with therapist for high-quality learning environment? Thanks.
Answer: A higher number of students at younger ages are entering classroom settings with diagnosed disabilities that teachers need to provide an inclusive learning environment for their success. Here are strategies to build positive communicative relationships between teacher and therapist(s).
- During the initial individual education program (IEP) or individual family service program (IFSP) meetings, discuss in detail the communicative methods that will be used between teacher and therapist (e.g., face-to-face conversation, email, text, telephone) to stay on target of the student's goals outlined,
- Encourage the therapist(s) to observe the student in the classroom setting prior to first one-on-on session that will assist in seeing student's interactions with peers and/or individually in different areas. After observation, discuss what student as doing and retrieve teacher's observational notes (e.g., anecdotal, time sampling) to have more in-depth conversation,
- Once on-site days and timeframes have been set, encourage the therapist(s) to conduct planned activities in classroom. If not, secure space where s/he can go to conduct skill activities,
- At end of therapist(s) session, have him/her discuss face-to-face or summarized notes (e.g., handwritten, electronically) of what was worked on, follow-up for classroom and an extension of activities for home, and
- The teacher will need to collect work samples with observational notes that will be shared with therapist(s) at next scheduled student session or prior to send electronically so all are staying updated on skill accomplishments and/or modifications as needed.
The IEP/IFSP outlined goals set for student takes all stakeholders (e.g., parents, teachers, therapists) for him/her to achieve skills through communicating strategies to meet the outcomes. Remember it takes a village to raise – educate a child; therefore, theses communicative suggestions are a start ensuring high-quality education is present for the student.

Laurence Maroney Trade-From New England Patriots to Denver Broncos
Laurence Maroney Trade-From New England Patriots to Denver Broncos – Laurence Maroney was surprised by the recent announcement that the Patriots have decided to trade him to the Denver Broncos after the running back failed to fulfil his potential promise.
Maroney was the number 1 draft pick for the Patriots in 2006, and after having his best year in 2007 with a career high 835 yards and six touchdowns, the following years for him were plagued by injuries.
While Maroney is saddened by the trade and didn't see it coming, he is not bitter about the event, saying:
"You really can't ever be good enough. It is what it is. It was just one of them situations, I had some great opportunities there. I felt like I had some good times running the ball, and some not so good times."
"It was just one of those things. I got hurt. I could never really get going. But I loved playing there. But now I have to move on to Denver."
In exchange for Maroney, the Patriots received a fourth-round pick in the 2011 draft and a sixth-rounder next year.

text: http://teletrade.com/coins/lot.asp?...9&lot=2226#n*This is a live auction- and I am offering commentary that reflects my opinion and is in no way meant to stop an arm's length transaction between active bidders and the auction site.Take a look at this coin. Blow up the obverse and look at the ear- the neck, the top of the head. Look at the reverse and look at the Earth.Now think about the fact that this has been bid up $1300 (so far) beyond the listed PCGS price.A PR69DCAM sells for $42. A PR68DCAM sells for $20.Can you definitively say that this coin is "perfect" and worth 150 times the price of a PR69DCAM? Even if you bought into the market side demand of PR70DCAM coins and believed in their very elevated values- is this coin a PR70DCAM coin based on naked eye observation?
