A day after Seahawks general manager John Schneider talked about the "tough decisions" he and coach Pete Carroll will have to make this offseason, word came out that the Hawks will indeed release wide receiver Sidney Rice.
The Seahawks made no announcement Friday, but Rice tweeted an apparent goodbye later in the day: "The #12 will remain on the left side of my chest no matter what! Grateful for the opportunity to share so many special moments w/ y'all."
The Seahawks will save $7.3 million against the salary cap – money that will help re-sign some of the team's 19 free agents. Rice will still count $2.4 million in dead money based on his unamortized signing bonus proration.
The release of Rice is just the first of several expected maneuvers the Hawks will have to make to clear room to re-sign more productive players.
"It's a huge goal for us to try to keep this team together for as long as we possibly can," Schneider told reporters at the NFL combine on Thursday. "There are tough decisions to be made along the way. We don't look forward to those decisions, but it's more long-term. We've talked about trying to be a consistent championship-caliber football team and not just one that cruises in for a year and cruises out. We have to work through those issues."
The next players likely to be released or approached about pay cuts are defensive ends Chris Clemons and Red Bryant. Cutting both outright would add another $13 million under the cap, giving Seattle around $19 million to work with (depending on how high the cap goes).
The Hawks probably do not want to cut ties with Bryant entirely. He is a team leader, and as long as he is willing to reduce a contract that calls for a $3 million roster bonus and $4.5 million salary, he should be back.
Clemons, 32, is a different story. Coming back from a torn ACL suffered in the 2012 playoffs, he wasn't quite the same player in 2013 – although he seemed to amp it up in the playoffs and the Super Bowl. He simply is not worth his $7.5 million salary – money the Hawks probably would prefer to pay the 28-year-old Bennett.
It is possible the Hawks will offer Clemons a chance to stay with a steep pay cut, a la Bryant, and give him performance incentives to make up the difference. Or they could just decide to go younger by moving Bruce Irvin back to LEO to compete with second-year rusher Benson Mayowa.
The Hawks could make other cuts as well. Many think tight end Zach Miller is in danger because he is due $6 million in salary and bonuses. But the Hawks did nothing about his team-high $11 million cap number in 2013, so why would they fret about half that amount when they can make room in other ways?
The other ways: Extending left tackle Russell Okung could cut his $11.24 million cap number down by as much as $6 million. Extending safety Earl Thomas could lower his 2014 cap hit below the scheduled $5.47 million. The team also could save $1.5 million by releasing 32-year-old linebacker Heath Farwell.
It's all money that would go toward re-signing Bennett and other key free agents.
We've already laid out our probability for the free agents to return, but here's a more specific projection, with cuts, extensions, contract numbers and other analysis:
Move: Cut WR Sidney Rice, saving $7.3 million
Analysis: Rice was set to make $8.5 million in 2014 and simply was not worth it. Rice is the latest example of a big-money receiver who did not work out in Seattle, and the Hawks cannot afford to pay a guy with so many health concerns (ACL, shoulders, etc.).
Move: Cut DE Chris Clemons, saving $7.5 million
Analysis: It is possible the Hawks offer the 32-year-old pass rusher a chance to stay on a much smaller salary – maybe $3 million with a chance to make more based on performance. But would he be willing to take such a big cut from his $7.5 million salary when Cliff Avril is making $7 million on the other side? In the end, the Hawks probably will decide to go younger and thank Clemons for his 38 sacks over the past four years.
Move: Reduce salary of DE Red Bryant to $3 million
Analysis: The 323-pound run stopper was given a five-year, $35 million deal in 2012 and has made a tidy $14.6 million over the past two years. But now the Hawks need the team captain to be a team player and let some of his $7.5 million be used for another player. The Hawks could restructure his deal so he still gets $7.5 million this year but cuts his salaries the next two years. That could save the team $4 million this year, $2 million in 2015 and $3 million in 2016. The Hawks surely don't want him to go, but they also cannot pay a run stuffer $7.5 million, even if he is a team captain.
Move: Cut LB Heath Farwell, saving $1.5 million
Analysis: Farwell doesn't make much in comparison to Rice, Clemons and Bryant, but the Hawks could pay three rookies with the savings from the special-teams captain's salary. It's very possible the Hawks will leave Farwell's contract alone – he's heading into the final year anyway.
Move: Re-sign DL Michael Bennett for 4y, $32m
Analysis: The savings from Clemons and Bryant will be put to good use in their D-line unit. Bennett wants a multi-year deal worth more than the $4.8 million he made in Seattle last year – and he certainly deserves it. He said he received better offers last year, so if some team offers him $10 million a year, he might eschew that for $8 million to stay in Seattle. And the Hawks can afford it.
Move: Re-sign WR Golden Tate for 5y, $25m
Analysis: Tate said he would take a "little less" to stay in Seattle, but he still might want $8 million a year. The Hawks are already paying Percy Harvin $11 million in 2014 and will be paying Doug Baldwin at least $2 million. Tate doesn't offer much more than Baldwin -- Tate caught 64 passes for 898 yards and five touchdowns, and Baldwin's numbers were 50-778-5 – so why would they pay him much more? He shouldn't get more than $5 million a year from a team that throws the ball less than almost every team in the league.
Move: Extend FS Earl Thomas for 6y, $50m
Analysis: The best safeties get paid around $8 million a year, so Thomas – considered the best -- is good for at least that. This deal would include $23 million in guaranteed money and drop his 2014 cap number to about $3.75 million – adding about $1.7 million to the cap. The big cap hits -- $9 million to $11 million -- would kick in starting in 2016.
Move: Extend LT Russell Okung for 6y, $48m
Analysis: Okung has two years left on his rookie deal, but he also has a cap number of more than $11 million in 2014. This extension would drop his cap hit to $5.3 million, saving nearly $6 million. Okung has had injury issues in three of his four seasons and has yet to play all 16 games – he was a Pro Bowl player in 2012, when he played 15 -- so the Hawks might prefer to build in some playing-time incentives for 2014 and beyond.
Move: Extend CB Richard Sherman for 6y, $65m
Analysis: Like Thomas, Sherman has been the best at his position the past two years, and he should be paid as such. But it is quite possible this deal does not get done this year, especially if Sherman's agent wants to use Darrelle Revis' $16 million deal with Tampa Bay as a basis for negotiations.
Move: Re-sign RT Breno Giacomini for 2y, $6m
Analysis: Some other team might throw more money his way, but the 28-year-old fits the Hawks, and his injurious 2013 season plays into the team's favor financially. They can probably get him back for the same deal he worked under in 2012-13. If they can't, they can let Michael Bowie, a rookie or a cheaper veteran start at right tackle.
Move: Tender WR Doug Baldwin for $3m
Impact: A lot of people think the Hawks will use the second-round tender of $2.1 million for the former undrafted free agent, but the Hawks probably plan to give him a multi-year extension at some point this offseason anyway, and he is worth $3 million, so why not used the first-round tender and make sure he doesn't go anywhere?
Move: Re-sign K Steven Hauschka for 3y, $5m
Impact: The Hawks are not going to use the $3 million franchise tag on the 28-year-old, who just had his best season in a seven-year career. Giddy fans tend to forget that the Hawks brought back Hauschka last year only after exploring several other options. He played for the minimum. If he doesn't like this deal, the Hawks can find another kicker to offer a Super Bowl ring.
Move: Re-sign DT Tony McDaniel for 1y, $1.5m
Analysis: The Hawks probably would like to have the 6-foot-7 29-year-old back on perhaps a small raise over the $890,000 he played for in 2013. But they also might keep their eyes open for other free-agent options, such as Alex Carrington (6-5) of the Buffalo Bills or Ropati Pitoitua (6-8) of the Tennessee Titans.
Move: Re-sign OL Lemuel Jeanpierre for 1y, $645,000
Analysis: Jeanpierre knows the Hawks' system well after three years in it. They probably are not going to tender the restricted free agent for $1.4 million, or if they do tender him it will just be to keep him off the market so they can keep him for half that ($645,000). They have a couple of other options as well, so they could just let him go. But with so little depth along the line, that seems unlikely.
Move: Re-sign QB Tarvaris Jackson for 1y, $855,000
Analysis: Seems like a no-brainer for both sides – unless the Hawks have someone else in mind (Colt McCoy?).
Move: Re-sign S Jeron Johnson for 1y, $645,000
Analysis: Unless the Hawks decide to go with DeShawn Shead and other players, the restricted free agent should be back on the same one-year, non-tender as Jeanpierre.
Move: Re-sign S Chris Maragos for 1y, $730,000
Analysis: He took a pay cut to stay last season, so why would the 27-year-old leave now? He's young enough and contributes well on special teams (except as the holder) that the Hawks should want him back on a cheap deal.
Move: Re-sign LB Mike Morgan for 1y, $570,000
Analysis: Morgan is an exclusive-rights free agent and thus tied to the Hawks for another season. He was on the roster for just five games in 2011, and the requirement to accrue a season toward free agency is six games, so he has just two seasons accrued (2012 and 2013).
Move: Re-sign TE Anthony McCoy for 1y, $730,000
Analysis: The 26-year-old sat out the season on IR but should be a cheap re-sign and could have a role in 2014.
CB Walter Thurmond: Thurmond's value plummeted when he tested positive for marijuana and was suspended for four games. Now in the NFL's drug program and in a saturated cornerback market, he might not get any offers he likes. But they still might be better than what Seattle offers.
LB O'Brien Schofield: Some other team is likely to offer the 26-year-old a starting gig and better money.
FB Michael Robinson: The 30-year-old came back and got a ring, but will the Hawks go back to their young backs?
DT Clinton McDonald: The 27-year-old had his best season and probably earned a good deal elsewhere.
OL Paul McQuistan: The 30-year-old vet's time in Seattle is likely done; the team can do better with younger players.
TE Kellen Davis: The late addition was a decent third tight end, but the Hawks are likely to find someone else.
The Hawks probably were happy to finally get the Brandon Browner saga behind them in December. His name was scarcely brought up throughout the playoffs, except when Byron Maxwell would intercept another pass and remind people that they didn't miss Browner.
Browner, 29, is suspended indefinitely -- eligible to apply for reinstatement next December. But ESPN's John Clayton reported Thursday that Browner's attorneys have built a legal case and could work out a deal with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for Browner to return sooner.
"His tact at the moment is waiting to see if (NFL lead attorney) Jeff Pash and Roger Goodell are going to offer him a lower suspension," Clayton said on 710 ESPN, "because he's prepared a case that he's going to take to federal court if he doesn't get any kind of relief and a chance to get back into the National Football League."
Browner reportedly turned down the league's offer of an eight-game suspension, so he obviously is seeking something less than that.
Browner tweeted Friday that he received his playoff and Super Bowl checks for being part of the champion Seahawks, and he also said, "More than blessed to have played for such a great organization."
It wouldn't be stunning to see the Hawks bring Browner back when his suspension is lifted – he will be very cheap, after all. But he also will be 30 in August and the team might want to move on to younger players – and guys who aren't one strike away from a lifetime ban.

There are almost as many variations on a 3-1-3 schedule as there are students enrolled. However, those students seriously interested in saving a year of study would typically take calculus or math 12 and physics at their high school. These courses, when successfully completed, would earn 6 credit hours each of college credit and be entered on the college transcript as SD math or science and the grade on the college transcript would be satisfactory/unsatisfactory (pass/fail). This student would also be enrolled in three courses at the college including one English course and one social science course (American Government or Economics) each semester. The student may also choose a third college course each semester for a total of 9 credit hours per semester. So, by June, when the high school courses had been completed and grades sent to the college registrar, the student would have earned and have entered on his/her college transcript, 30 credit hours, which is a full year of college credit.
Some high schools schedule math 12 and physics in the morning and some in the afternoon. Either way, students are able to schedule their college classes, which usually meet on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule, for the other half of the day.

My safety and that of my loved ones is worth more than a "budget weapon" allows.
Speaking to the post about living on a shoestring budget... I have friends that carry and I would be able to borrow a weapon of at least Glock quality. My friends take care of each other and are not willing to let friends carry things that compromise their safety. My brother-in-law is currently borrowing a Sig of mine (speaking of which.)

I understand that people have to carry what they can afford to carry, but in my opinion try to get the best that your budget can allow you to get, do plenty of research so you can know the good and bad on the firearm you are considering on buying. Me personally, my guns are Glock and Sig Sauer and I feel I made a good investment when it comes to reliability in both these firearms.
No, do not carry either,,,,,, but if it was ALL I had
I would definitely carry either one,,,,, would not
go NEKKID.
If it was all I could afford then I'd carry a Hi Point or Cobra with a "mexican string holster"
Oddly enough I've had one guy tell me that most pistols are too expensive to carry and that his Glock is on the threshold of being too nice for a carry gun...
I own four hand guns a s&w m&p 40c that I carry. A taurus judge that's next to the bed. Two hi-points a .45 and 9mm compact both have been flawless from day one, and would carry either hi-point without question if $$$ was an issue.
No to cheap brands. I'd search for a more reliable gun used before buying new discount junk. I'd prefer a good knife over a gun that acts as a paper weight when I need need it.
Dunno, is a Glock 27 low budget? I suppose it is if you're a millionaire.
Would I carry a low-budget gun (low-budget = cheap/poor quality)?
Ans: Only if I considered my life to be low-budget/cheap/poor quality...in other words, NO!

No. I don't consider my life to be "low budget", so I won't carry a low budget gun. If it is unreliable, I'd rather not carry it! I'd rather have a quality, used gun, in good shape that I have confidence in than a "low budget" new gun that may or may not function when needed. I've always believed in "you get what you pay for" and would wait until I could buy what I wanted rather than accepting a cheap substitute. Just my .02.

I do carry a Makarov IJ-70HC in 9x18 caliber sometimes. It is one of the most reliable handguns I have. It is a great shooter, and has thirteen rounds, more than enough to do the job! It is in rotation with other ccw guns I use, and I have many..

New Smyrna bicyclist, 11, remains critical in Orlando hospital
Published: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 9:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, September 13, 2013 at 5:15 p.m.
An 11-year-old boy is in critical condition at an Orlando hospital Friday morning where he is being treated for injuries suffered when he was hit by a car in New Smyrna Beach.
Officials with Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and Women said the condition of Mark Moore of New Smyrna Beach has not improved.
Moore, a fifth-grader at Read-Pattillo Elementary School, was flown to the Orlando hospital Thursday evening after he was hit by a car while bicycling at the intersection of Paige Avenue and Corbin Park Road, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The accident report said the boy was riding west on Paige about 6:30 p.m. when he was hit by a 2002 Honda Civic driven by Katelin Evans, 19, New Smyrna Beach, who was heading south on Corbin, the report said.
Paige Avenue has a stop sign and Evans stated she struck Moore as she traveled through the intersection, the report said.
Moore, who was not wearing a helmet, was knocked off his bike, according to the report. Volusia County sheriff's dispatch Sgt. Ted Richard said emergency workers performed CPR on the boy at the scene before he was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital.
FHP said the crash remains under investigation.
Volusia County Schools spokeswoman Nancy Wait said a guidance counselor at Moore's school was working with students needing to talk with someone about the accident.

Full text not available from this repository.

PURPOSE: From a workflow/cost perspective integrated imaging is not an obvious solution. An analysis of scanning costs as a function of system cost and relevant imaging times is presented. This analysis ignores potential clinical advantages of integrated imaging.
METHODS: An analysis comparing separate vs integrated imaging costs was performed by deriving pertinent equations and using reasonable cost numbers for imaging devices and systems, room and other variable costs. Integrated systems were divided into those sequentially and simultaneously. Sequential scanning can be done with two devices placed in a single or in two different scanning rooms. Graphs were derived which represent the cost difference between integrated imaging system options and their separate counterparts vs scanning time on one of the devices and cost ratio of an integrated system and its counterpart of separate devices.
RESULTS: Integrated systems are favoured by the fact that patients have to be up- and downloaded only once. If imaging times become longer than patient changing times, imaging on separate devices is advantageous. An integrated imaging cost advantage is achieved if the integrated systems typically and overall cost three fourths or less of the separate systems. If PET imaging takes 15 min or less, PET/CT imaging costs less than separate PET and CT imaging, while this time is below 5 min for SPECT/CT. A two-room integrated system has the added advantage that patient download time is not cost relevant, when imaging times on the two devices differ by more than the patient download time.
CONCLUSION: PET/CT scanning is a cost-effective implementation of an integrated system unlike most current SPECT/CT systems. Integration of two devices in two rooms by a shuttle seems the way how to make PET/MR cost-effective and may well also be a design option for SPECT/CT systems.

I no longer live in Coventry but I still travel to this branch or the Earlsdon branch with my pets.

Even Raymond – the Tampa Bay Rays' mascot since 1998 – is gone.
Winners in the mighty AL East twice in the past three seasons, the Tampa Bay Rays took a big step back this winter, opening the door for a massive turnover on their roster and a major down-sizing of their payroll (from $73 million to $41 million).
The Rays cited the realities of small-market economics in Major League Baseball as they bid adieu to Carl Crawford, Carlos Pena, Joaquin Benoit, Randy Choate, Dan Wheeler and Rafael Soriano (free agents), Jason Bartlett and Matt Garza (trades) among other departures. (Apparently so despondent he couldn't go on, Raymond "retired" in an April Fool's Day promotion.)
The Rays cashed in a 2-for-1 coupon with agent Scott Boras, signing both Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon as free agents. But the makeover doesn't look very good so far. They were swept in their season-opening series by the rising Baltimore Orioles, managing just three runs in the three games.
The Angels can sympathize with that after losing three of four in their season-opening series at Kansas City. They head to Tampa for a mini-visit, a two-game series at Tropicana Field beginning tonight. We checked in with Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times for his perspective on the revamped Rays. You can find Topper's coverage here.

The UK Parliament passed the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 on 17 July 2013. This will allow same-sex couples to marry in England and Wales once it comes into force on 29 March 2014.
The introduction of equal marriage will end some but not all the discrimination against same-sex couples, which came about by having a separate institution of civil partnership.
Civil partnership will remain, although just as an alternative option for same-sex couples.
This page has information about:
There are a number of points where the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 is in a muddle:
If you are in a same-sex relationship, you will have to wait until the Act comes into force onb 29 March 2014. Alternatively, you can get married in another country which allows it. If you are not already civil partners, your marriage is recognised in England and Wales as a civil partnership now, but will be recognised as a marriage once the Act comes into force.
Can we convert our civil partnership into a marriage?
The Act provides only for those couples who registered in England and Wales to convert their civil partnership into a marriage. This will be possible later in 2014.
If you simply got married (here or abroad), your marriage would be void as you are already in a civil partnership. This is something you may want to challenge in court under the Human Rights Act.
We got married in Canada last year. What will our status be here?
Until the Act comes into force, you are treated as civil partners. Once it comes into force, you are treated as a married couple.
I am a male retired teacher and paid contributions for a widow's pension in the 1980s, will my husband get a full widower's pension when I die?
No, not under the Act as it is drawn up. However, this almost certainly contravenes EU equality legislation and this is challenged in the courts at the moment. The Act also compels the government to review this by 1 July 2014 and if the review finds the provisions should be changed, that can be done by the government and no new Act of Parliament is required.
We are living in London, but one of us is from another country. Should we go for marriage or civil partnership?
This is a tricky one and depends very much on your circumstances. For example, France at one stage recognised marriage of same-sex couples if they were both from the country where that was allowed (e.g. between two Dutch men), but it did not recognise UK civil partnership. It did change later after the UK government lobbied for it because some English couples who moved to live in France were facing high inheritance tax bills after one of them died. Portugal has equal marriage but it seems does not recognise civil partnership. If you can predict which other country is involved now and either you may inherit from that country, or have a house there etc. you should take legal advice from lawyers here in England and in that country. You should also go to a specialist to draft your wills.
We are both British but may retire in on the Med in the future, should we marry or become civil partners?
Again, this is a tricky one. If you become civil partners in England or Wales you could later convert that into a marriage (but not the other way round). If your move is some time in the future, it is impossible to predict the legal situation in any particular country at that time. You should get very good and specialist advice before you move and buy any property abroad.
We are already civil partners; do we have to upgrade? If we decide to do, do we have to pay another fee?
There is no duty to convert your civil partnership into a marriage. You do not have to do anything at all and can just remain civil partners. If you decide you want to convert your civil partnership into a marriage (and you registered your civil partnership in England or Wales), you probably will have to pay the same fee as anyone else who gets married, whether you want a full-blown wedding or whether you just want an administrative conversion. Remember you can only convert your civil partnership into a marriage later in 2014.
We live in Scotland; does it apply here too?
No, it does not, although the Scottish Parliament is dealing with its own proposal for legislation there. This may come into force at the same time (or earlier or later) than the Act in England and Wales.

NE506: NEW TESTAMENT EXEGESIS: 1 PETER (GREEK) (4 Units). Peter Rodgers.
DESCRIPTION: This course is an exegetical study of the background and setting of I Peter, including critical questions of authorship, date, recipients, occasion, and sources. Special attention will be paid to the use of the Old Testament in 1 Peter, to the catechetical patterns, and to the key theological themes.
SIGNIFICANCE FOR LIFE AND MINISTRY: Major emphases in 1 Peter are the practical outworking of Christ's death in the common life of believers, the nature of Christian priesthood and ministry, the Christian lifestyle, both within the church and in the face of hostility from outsiders, and the nature of leadership and ministry in the church. These topics will be explored, especially through discussion and papers, with an eye on the practice of ministry today.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Students successfully completing this course will have demonstrated that they: (1) have a knowledge and understanding of I Peter, its literary features, its historical and cultural context, and the way it illustrates works of its genre; (2) can offer an exegesis of passages from I Peter in light of a range of appropriate interpretive approaches, including ones that take account of the diversity of contexts from which the text can be read; (3) have articulated some reflection on the significance of this part of the Bible for their discipleship and ministry; (4) have a competence in working with texts in their original language, including familiarity with apparatuses and tools requisite to such study.
COURSE FORMAT: This class is a FullerLive! course that will meet three-and-a-half hours weekly for ten weeks. The course consists of a combination of lectures and discussion. As an exegetical study of the book of I Peter, the bulk of class time will be spent working through the Greek text together.
I Peter in one of the following translations: RSV, NSRV, NIV, and a critical text of the Greek New Testament (either UBS 4th edition or Nestle-Aland 27th edition).

Bump PORTREVISION. Users who installed the port in the past were
not told that the Arial Unicode font has a different, much more
restrictive, license than the other fonts. They were only shown
the less restrictive license. Since they did not see the Unicode
license, they did not have a chance to make sure they were not in
violation of it. The license mentioned by the port now matches the
actual license, and the PORTREVISION bump will encourage them to

The distfiles were removed from the publisher's sites, so use a
different set of master sites. The home page is no longer worth

Remove the Arial Unicode font. Its license is much more restrictive
than the license on the other fonts, and it can no longer be
downloaded from its publisher. Remove the RESTRICTED line because
the remaining fonts have fewer restrictions on redistribution via

Last attempt to fix the prefix problem was just a revert of fenner's changes
so fix that and just add USE_X_PREFIX before .include <bsd.port.pre.mk>
Fix to install to the proper prefix (default: /usr/X11R6)
Use ${ECHO_CMD} instead of ${ECHO} where you mean the echo command; the ECHO
macro is set to "echo" by default, but it is set to "true" if make(1) is
invoked with the -s option while ECHO_CMD is always set to the echo command.
Include bsd.port.pre.mk in order to get XFREE86_VERSION defined.
Update to 0.21.
Use X11BASE with ttmkfdir to avoid PATH problem
Put back NO_PACKAGE - its absence doesn't provide any substantial benefits,
while may cause license violation. As the maintainer said: "It doesn't make
sense to take the risk for such a low return." So be it...

Why does nonviolence require more courage than violence? How, when you are losing your cool, can you maintain control and self-discipline? How was Gandhi able to predict the nonviolent civil rights movement in the U.S. before Martin Luther King, Jr. was ten years old? Why do nations persist in using violence as policy despite thousands of years of evidence that nonviolence works more effectively? What did Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. really stand for? Why is Jesus one of the most radical people in the history of the world? Who were Leo Tolstoy, Adin Ballou, Ammon Henacy, and Badshah Khan? What beliefs did they all share?
These questions, and many others, represent the core of the program in nonviolence at St. Bonaventure University, one of the longest-standing peace studies programs in the world. The program offers more courses in nonviolence than any other program in the United States, and is unique among the three-hundred-and-fifty other peace studies programs in the country because of its emphasis on nonviolence as a way of life and not just a strategy for gaining success.
Students interested in nonviolence may design their own courses of study in nonviolence as an interdisciplinary major. They may also pursue a minor in nonviolence through an already-approved course of study. Read more about our Nonviolence Curricula.

RAW Results December 30, 2013
From Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia
Reported on by Kendra Bunyon For Wrestling News World
Pre-RAW Commercial
This week Fandango faces Big E for the IC Title. Rumors that The Authority has some major announcements tonight on RAW!
RAW Starts
In Ring Segment
Punk out, "Everything's falling apart, it's clobberin' time!" He then heads for the ring in his ring gear, ready for a fight.
JBL – I want to get rid of 240lbs of unwanted fat. (Cole)
"CM Punk!"
Punk – I'm fired up tonight, fired up to be in Richmond. The last RAW of 2013, and I'm excited. 2013 showed of good stuff happened to Punk, lot of bad stuff as well. It happens to everyone, but we get up and go to work with a smile on our face, don't we? Sometimes I don't have a smile on my face, but that's neither here nor there. I started the year as the longest reigning Champ of the past 25 years. I went one on one with The Great One, toe to toe with Taker at WrestleMania. I made some friends in 2013, lost some friends in 2013. beat one of them to within an inch of his life – cough, cough – Paul Heyman. I don't think I could claim 2013 was Punk's year. The goal is to be bigger and greater than the year before, and I don't know that 2013 was the year of Punk. Take a look at the landscape of the WWE, and there's three guys, and it was their year, and I'm talking about The Shield. (heat) Let's face facts – Ambrose the US Champ, Rollins and Reigns, former TTCs. I want to end this year on a good foot, iron sharpens iron, so when our paths cross tonight, and we know they will…
The Shield's music hits and Punk smiles. The Shield through the stands to the ring. They all get right into the ring.
Ambrose – Finish your thought Punk. Finish your thought. (They slowly advance on Punk, Ambrose leading, Punk backing into a corner.) You better give us a good reason for not ending 2013 by ending you right now.
"CM Punk!"
Punk – Cool down, look, the three of you can beat any one man, we've established that in the past 365. I want to fight the best, one on one. Out of the three of you, one of you is the best.
Ambrose – You want to do it again, let's do it right now. This time I'll take a piece of you before I leave this right. Let's do this!
Punk – Ambrose, that's funny, but I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to Rollins and Reigns, I've already beaten you a couple times. It wasn't easy, but I did it.
Ambrose – You think I'm a joke?
Punk – I don't think you're a joke.
Ambrose – You think I'm a joke? You can't talk to me that way! (Rollins and Reigns hold Ambrose back.
Punk – No, I just think you're the weak link, and I want to know who the strong one of The Shield is! Roman Reigns! Roman Reigns! Roman Reigns! Look at me when I'm talking to you! Is it you, are you #1, are you the man?
Rollins – You want to know who the best is? You're looking at him! I'll fight you tonight! Let's do this.
Punk – It's you? All I ever hear about is Roman Reigns.
Rollins and Reigns argue off mic about who's going to take down Punk tonight and who the best in the team is. "Roman Reigns!" chants.
Maddox – As the GM of RAW, and behalf of The Authority, wishing you a Happy New Year. Going out on a high note, Punk will face Rollins. Get me a ref, because that match starts right now!
Punk vs Rollins
They lock up. Shoulder block drops Rollins. Punk running the ropes, tries to go over Punk, then ends up up top and gets free and flees the ring to regroup.
Rollins on Punk with blows in a corner. Reigns has to pull Ambrose off the apron as he yells in Punk's face. Punk reverses a whip and kicks Rollins in the face. A truly terrible back breaker on Rollins – I think both are at fault. Punk whipped, tries to flip and trap Rollins, but Rollins was off his mark. Rollins in, Punk locks on the hold in the ropes and holds it until the ref gets to four. Rollins gains control in the center of the ring, stomping Punk. Rollins pulls Punk's hair and gets the ref counting. Forearm to Punk's back. Punk back with forearms to Rollins' face, then Punk tries to take Rollins down, but Rollins is WAY off his mark and Punk has to cover and fight to get Rollins rolled up in the hold he was heading for.
Rollins rushes Punk, but Punk gets a foot up. Punk pushed off the top and eats barricade.
Head butts on Rollins, to the back of Rollins' head, but then Rollins side-steps and Punk shoulder first into the post. Rollins off the top, but Punk moves. "CM Punk!" chants. Chain wrestling, but then Punk gets Rollins down for two. Punk goes for the running knee, caught by Rollins, then tossed back into the opposite corner for two. Rollins yells, "Just stay down!"
Punk avoids a stomp, but then eats a kick to the side of the head for two. Rollins' calls for the GTS, mocking Punk.

In Ring Segment
Trip to the ring.
Trip – For The Authority was an epic year, but I guarantee that 2014 will be something you've never seen before. With that, help me welcome this man back to the WWE.
Brock's music hits and out he comes, Heyman in tow. Trip shakes Heyman hand, then hands him the mic. Trip over to Brock, extends his hand. Brock doesn't want to shake, but Heyman nods, and his lips can be read, he said, "He's the guy who signs the checks." Trip smiles, nods and leaves to "Boring!" chants.
Heyman – Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. As you can clearly see, The Beast is back. Now, in this age of transparency, my client has authorized me to inform you of his mission statement here in the WWE. My client, Brock Lesnar is not here to settle old scores. Brock has no old scores. You fight Brock Lesnar, you lose to Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar forgets about you. Nor is Brock Lesnar here as an instrument of revenge to those who did wrong to me, Paul Heyman. I have a forgiving heart, I put those beating in my past, because I'm a bigger man than any on of you. This isn't about me, this is about my client, Brock Lesnar. Here it is, why is Brock Lesnar back in the WWE. Here's what's best for business. My client, Brock Lesnar, hereby declares his desire to be the WWE WHC. With that means for Cena and Orton is that who ever emerges from their match as the WWE WHC, the winner is ultimately t loser, because the Champion will then have to face the self declared #1 contender, Brock Lesnar.
Brock (with Heyman's arm around him) – See, I don't really care if it's Orton or Cena, (Brock steps well away from Heyman) as far as I'm concerned there ain't nobody in this building, or this company that can stop me, Brock Lesnar. I don't have to win a Royal Rumble Match to be deserving enough to be, for a Championship match. I don't have to stand in some mysterious line for a Title shot, as far as I'm concerned, that line starts right here, behind me. That's right, and I dare anybody, I dare anybody to come down here to do something about that.
Heyman – We might enough say goodnight right now, as there's no that's man enough to take anyone up on Brock's dare. Brock's life is like a t-shirt – Eat, Sleep, Conquer, Repeat! What Brock Lesnar wants, Brock Lesnar takes. What's for the taking is the WWE WHC, and it will be taken by the man who will challenge the winner between Cena and Orton, The Beast Incarnate, Brock Lesnar.

I can follow and understand the algebra in the proof that a $\mathbb{R}$ differentiable function is $\mathbb{C}$ differentaible if and only if the partial$\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}\right)$ -$\frac{1}{i}$ $\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\right)$ $ = 0$. But I can't picture this. Treating points in the complex plane like vectors in $\mathbb{R^2}$, if a function is differentiable in $\mathbb{R^2}$, why, geometrically, is it not always holomorphic?
Sign up

What does "differentiable" mean geometrically? Locally approximationable by a linear map, right? So if a function $f \colon \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R^2$ is differentiable at $z \in \mathbb R^2$, we have that $$ f(x + h) = f(x) + Ah + o(h), \qquad h \to 0 $$ for a linear $A \colon \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R^2$. Being holomorphic means, that locally, $f\colon \mathbb C \to \mathbb C$ can be approximated by a complex linear map $\mathbb C \to \mathbb C$, that is written as $$ f(x + h) = f(x) + a\cdot h + o(h), \qquad h \to 0 $$ with $a \in \mathbb C$. Now ask yourself which linear maps $\mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R^2$ arise from complex multiplication? Multiplication preserves angles at 0, for example, general linear maps needn't do that. Writing $a = \Re a + i\Im a$, and $h = \Re h + i \Im h$, we have that \[ a \cdot h = (\Re a \Re h - \Im a\Im h) + i (\Im a \Re h + \Re a \Im h) \] that is complex linear map are represented by real $2 \times 2$-matrices of the form \[ \begin{pmatrix} \Re a & -\Im a\\ \Im a & \Re a \end{pmatrix} \] But not all linear maps (which can arise as derivatives of a $\mathbb R$-differentiable function) look like this.

Sharlet: Several times now reviewers of my recent book, The Family, have incorrectly charged that I claim in the book to have exposed a fundamentalist right-wing conspiracy. In fact, I do nothing of the sort. As I wrote to Russ Pulliam of the Indianapolis Star, the latest journalist to make this error, "I'm not sure how I could have made my view of conspiracy theories clearer than this, on page 7 of my introduction, referring to Chuck Colson's description of the Family as a 'veritable underground': 'This so-called underground,' I write, 'is not a conspiracy.'" That's a point I make throughout the book. "Conspiracy" is a legal term, and one that does not apply to the religious activists of the Family.
Well, score one for journalistic integrity. Pulliam, the former editorial page editor of the paper (long presided over by his family), wrote back promptly offering to make a correction. And when I told him that his correction still seemed to misstate the facts, he corrected his correction, despite his strong disagreement with the arguments in my book. That's honest punditry.
I await eagerly. Marvin Olasky, publisher of the evangelical World magazine, promised as much and didn't deliver. (Marvin reported incorrectly that I'm an adjunct professor, an atheist, and a non-celebrator of Hannukah. Three strikes!) Here's hoping that Pulliam is the real deal.
Meanwhile, another pastor has endorsed the book. Such endorsements mean a lot to me, since the book has also been wrongly labeled "anti-Christian." It's not at all, which is why I'm thrilled when evangelicals, especially, find some value in the book.
Mike Stavlund organizes a very interesting coffee house church in Washington, D.C., linked to the emerging church movement, called Common Table. If you're a Christian in Washington, it sounds like it's worth checking out, even if you already belong to a church.
On his blog, Awakenings, Mike writes:
I have enough personal and local knowledge (from friends and friends of friends) to know that this group– and this book– are for real. The Family (aka The Fellowship, aka The Fellowship Foundation) hosts the National Prayer Breakfast, where the President traditionally gives an address. But more than these occasional public events, it serves as a connection point between US and world leaders– political leaders, business leaders, dictators, and other power brokers. The problem, as Sharlet sees it, is the lack of discretion shown to just which leaders it connects, and the way in which even the term 'family' has automatized "cozy little kingdoms ruled by one Father" but has done little to foster any sense of care for the other.
Sharlet's writing is so good that a quick read is almost impossible. Skim this book, and you'll miss gems like this one on page 180: "…manifest destiny, the original westward thrust that erased a continent of Native souls, burns history like coal and knows no sin but that of its enemies." He obviously finds a lot to critique about The Family, but does so indirectly, offering instead a narrative which allows the reader to draw their own conclusions. In so doing, he captures this subtle subculture perfectly: offering a thin veneer of overly-individuated Christianity that asks nothing of its adherents other than to keep up appearances. In this brand of Jesus-followership, Jesus is depicted as the King of Kings: the most powerful of the world's most powerful leaders. And rather than lay down their power, followers are encouraged to simply be humble about their wealth and power– to confess that they themselves are nothing, and that their wealth and power come from God. So, if you are powerful, tweak your power toward that which is Godly. And, the reasoning goes, what is more Godly than Godly power? Such circularity would be humorous if it wasn't so self-justifying, unnerving, and dangerous.
Mike's stake in this is personal — spiritual, that is, and so he picked up on an aspect of the book often ignored even by those who liked it. "He concludes the book by leaving a pregnant question unspoken, yet hanging in the air: so what is the better way?" Indeed. I don't have the answers, but then, I'm not really trying to find them. I don't think I can — answers aren't my business. They are, however, Mike's. Or, at least, looking for them is. Check out his blog, or visit his church community, Common Table.

April 19, 2013
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Gymnast Aubree Cristello successfully represented the Arizona women's gymnastics team at the 2013 NCAA National Championships. Despite having one difficult event, the Glenville native wrapped up her career with a 12th place finish in the all-around with a 39.075.
The meet began on floor for Cristello, where she posted a 9.850 – the third highest score of the session, and the fifth highest score of the night.
"Aubree did a great floor set. Being the individual all-around competitor in the first rotation is a tough position for anyone to be in – Aubree really rocked it," Ryden said.
Event number two was slightly problematic; after a large hop forward on her landing, Cristello earned a 9.600 on the vault.
"Aubree had a ton of height and was vaulting great in warm-ups, but she overpowered her competition vault. It was a beautiful performance, it is just unfortunate how she ended up bounding out of it," Ryden commented.
The senior was able to wrap up the meet successfully, earning a pair of 9.800's. On bars, she tallied a 9.800 for the seventh highest score of the session, and on beam she earned a 9.825 for the fifth highest score.
"The girl never quits. There aren't enough superlatives I can say to describe the magnitude of Aubree's presence. She's put out so many routines, has almost never missed a set and is a rock solid role model. I don't think there is anything more that any one gymnast can do for a program than Aubree has done for ours," Ryden concluded.
The NCAA National Championships will continue throughout the weekend, with the Super Six team finals tomorrow (Saturday, April 20) and individual event finals on Sunday (April 21). Live video feed and statistics will be available through the NCAA National Championship website.

The city of Berkeley is cracking down … on memorial park benches. The Chron reports that Tuesday the City Council will address the "glut" of memorial benches. Slow news day, huh?
To stop the overpopulation of these menacing benches, one proposal presents some criteria for memorial-worthiness:
* honorees dead for at least a year
* well-documented contributions from honorees to Berkeley and its parks
* approval from the Parks and Recreation Commission
Previously, donors could purchase benches for 1,200 bucks for anyone living or dead. The time has come to stop this madness.

Exam Sheets Website Played A Vital Role In My SuccessI was not very experienced technically but wanted to clear the 646-046 exam to get a good career ahead. I trusted and opted for the 646-046 exam products and these products gave me the best chance to get the Cisco Specialist 646-046 exam cleared. I worked really hard to utilize that chance perfectly and by the grace of God I got successful in that and after doing few revisions of the course I got successful in this exam and I like to say thanks to the people of Exam Sheets for that.

We've all been there. Those little jewelry stands in the shape of trees look so cute when you first pick them up from Target, but then you watch your collection of baubles expand beyond what those flimsy little branches can hold. Step up your arboreal-themed display game with the Manzanita Wall Jewelry Branch ($99). Use it to hang your necklaces and bracelets or leave the branches bare for a unique piece of wall decor!
