You just get the feeling that this is going to be medieval.
Tactical for sure, that's a given with one of the combatants being Floyd Mayweather, the WBC welterweight champion and consensus #1 rated boxer on earth.
In accepting a declaration of war from WBA welterweight champion Marcos Maidana, the mighty Argentinean who just might have "Hercules" somewhere in the family tree, Floyd will put this mythical distinction to test.
It is an exam he will never forget.
I look at this fight as part of a saga that is today's welterweight universe. A vital piece in a real-life pugilistic "Game of Thrones".
If you follow that show, then you know that it weaves complexities in scintillating fashion. Taking us through a labyrinth of lies, betrayal, countermoves and innuendo, the stars - or would be Kings - of boxing's most glamorous division, will vie for that most coveted crown of undisputed supremacy, in a way not unlike the show.
This fight, which will take place after Manny Pacquiao faces Timothy Bradley in an attempt to reclaim his WBO welterweight crown, will go a long way in determining who wears "the ultimate crown".
I believe Pacquiao will defeat Bradley, thus setting the stage for what some would consider an anticlimactic battle between Mayweather and Pacquiao.
Thus, Mayweather vs. Maidana, is almost a penultimate dual for a riveting season finale.
But since our fight drama is replete with plot twists and dimensions of intrigue, something is going to happen along the way to remind us why we watch, for nothing is ever promised.
Especially Kings or their crowns.
Sitting somewhere in the upper northern reaches in his own realm of fire and ice, is "Prince of Fantasy" and emeritus king of deposed pound-for-pound pipe dreams, Amir Khan. Floyd Mayweather knew he couldn't challenge the UK's mercurial and talented wonder.
He simply could not justify this move on the chessboard - not with Khan being beaten by knights and severely challenged by bishops.
So Khan, caught in a winter far worse than the brutal one we've faced here on the east coast, loathes Mayweather for subversive deception.
We know that Floyd just turned 37, and I'm willing to bet 10 million imaginary dollars that even Peyton Manning knows of all 37 reasons why Amir Khan wants Marcos Maidana to kill Floyd Mayweather.
Having faced Maidana in a dark encounter, Khan may try to divulge his gameplan to Maidana, who'll reveal to Amir that he doesn't care, like- at all, while wearing a curious"WTF?" look on his face combined with whatever one you wear when somebody farts... Maidana be like: "GTFOH Rook!"
The prospect of this war is not something Floyd wanted, and I am convinced of that. It is why he took so long to announce a fight he had no choice but to take.
Maidana will have no fear of him and absolutely attack him with fury. He is a far better fighter than the edition prior to Robert Garcia. He features a bludgeoning arsenal, particularly, an over-the-top overhand right that could be catastrophic to Floyd's unblemished record in warfare.
That said, there will be noticeable differences between "Lame of Clone" Adrien Broner and Floyd Mayweather. You will not be seeing "Money" Mayweather - for this fight will feature "Pretty Boy" Floyd.
It has to- or he will lose.
The Robert Garcia trained fighter is tough and ballsy. They are ornery sons of bitches and won't offer a minute of comfort in the 3 minute frames. Mikey Garcia, who I believe is fast becoming one of the best all around fighters on the planet, will help to hone the peaking Maidana form.
Floyd does not want to throw combinations and seeks to pot shot, but he will be made to do something he does not want to do - and forced to abandon what he'd prefer.
This fight will remind you of why he never wanted to fight Margarito - who "Chino" is now actually better than. But because he's "great" (and I do mean that), Floyd will find Maidana's weakness (body shots among a few) and make it bigger.
He is a master of adjustments, and I expect him to adjust settings in his favor going into the championship rounds, after enduring a massive amount of punishment (for him anyway).
It is not out the question that Maidana will stop Floyd in come-from-behind fashion - his power is that game changing; or hang on for a decision after beating up Floyd early, then surviving a proud Mayweather.
But I believe what will most likely happen is Floyd, perhaps bruised, cut or damaged in a way you've never seen, will eventually abandon trying to box or get cute- and fight. He'll employ his "high guard" defense, dangerously walk into the eye of Maidana's storm, and blow him away.
The pick here is Mayweather via 10th round KO, in what will be regarded as an instant classic and a fight for the ages.
It will also set up his fate - and date with destiny.

Office Party AttireDear Readers,Thank you for all your wonderful questions. The theme for this inaugural column is dressing for the holidays. I hope that you will find this information helpful as you plan what you will be wearing during this festive season.In January, we will focus on personal style and what is appropriate for you and for where you're going. Many readers have indicated an interest in this topic. Please send your questions to me at email@example.com. Best wishes for a healthy and happy holiday, AnnieAnnie Brumbaugh, AICI, CIP www.abwardrobeworks.comPost-Work Holiday Party AttireQ. Our office party takes place immediately after work. Many people bring "evening outfits" to change into. I don't like to bother. I'm 49, size 6 petite, and want something that I can incorporate into my wardrobe. Any suggestions for a reasonably priced, fun outfit? — Mary A. Thanks for your great question, Mary. There are a number of ways to change from day to night without changing your entire outfit or breaking the bank.The key to the quick-change act is separates. You could stick with a basic pant or skirt that you wear all day. If you change your top, voila! This can be something simple like the faux wrap sweater from Ann Taylor Loft ($49) in red or black. They also have a deep cowl-neck tunic ($44) that is drapey and chic. These items come in petite and regular sizes. There is also a basic camisole ($24) and a version with sequin trim ($29) to pair with the tops. Camis can be very useful in your wardrobe; they add a layer of warmth and, conversely, an escape route if you get hot. I'd suggest looking on the Web. You can take these ideas and recreate them in any store. Just think about getting a top that will make you feel glam. It can be a sweater, a blouse, or a tunic. Consider the fabric first, and make sure it feels good. Cashmere, wool, rayon, poly, silk, or a blend of these are good options. A little sparkle also goes a long way. How about some great earrings, a necklace, or bracelet? With this quick fix, you might not even need to change your top. Just wear something simple. Banana Republic has some great stuff: rhinestone or crystal bracelets ($18-24), darling diamond (well, cubic zirconia) earrings ($22 plain studs, $26 flower studs). I love the crystal daisy flower at $28. These are real wardrobe builders. There are more elaborate earrings and necklaces too. So, you see that a little bling does not necessitate a big cha-ching. It's the holiday season, and you're looking for some fun — but it won't be fun if you hate yourself when the Visa bill arrives. Believe it or not, dress-up things don't need to be costly. Just make sure you choose something that you love and that fits and flatters you.One final option is to simply change your shoes. A dramatic high heel says instant party, too. If you don't have the feet for this approach, just say no and distract them with something on top. Do not let your feet hurt. You won't have fun if they do.And, finally, don't overdo it. One or two of the above may well suffice. After all, this is an office party, and you may not need your out-of-character vamp shoes to be a topic of conversation for weeks to come. Experiment a little and always use your judgment. You will know what is right for you and for where you're going.Check out Ann Taylor Loft online Check out Banana Republic online Fashion for Larger SizesQ. It seems like formalwear for 40 and up is all BLACK! I am sick of it. I want to wear COLOR even though I am 50. Dresses in larger sizes seem to come only in brown, black, or navy. — ShpresaA. I applaud your desire for color, Shpresa, and you must have it! However, the whole outfit doesn't need to be colorful. I would encourage you to think about separates. How about starting with some simple dark pieces — a tank or tunic with pants or a skirt? These versatile basics can be used in countless ways. Add a floaty duster in a color and/or pattern, a jacket, or a gorgeous shawl. Chico's could be a good resource for you. For example, I love their plum velvet embroidered tunic (Noble Velvet Kamilla Shirt, $128). Now add some jewelry and terrific shoes, and you are set for many occasions to come. You'll have much more ease and flexibility with separate pieces than with a dress.Check out Chicos online Q.

Hayley Lewis will represent Tennessee at the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City. Lewis was crowned Miss Tennessee 2014 on Saturday following days of pageantry at the Jackson Civic Center in Jackson.
At the time of her crowning, she was the reigning Miss Tennessee Valley. During her reign, she devoted time to raising money for the Children's Miracle Network of Hospitals. The program helps disadvantaged children and donates money to children's hospitals throughout the United States.
As her pageant talent, Lewis sang "I Who Have Nothing."
She is philanthropy chair for Phi Mu Theta at Belmont University, vice president of Beltones ICCA, and Muse Boutique School representative.
A new Miss America will be crowned on Sept. 14 in Atlantic City. The final night of pageantry will be broadcast live on the East Coast by the ABC television network. A taped-delayed broadcast by ABC will follow for the West Coast.
If Lewis is crowned Miss America, she will become the third Tennessee titleholder to win the national title. Among previous Miss America winners are Miss Tennessee 1986 Kellye Cash, and Miss Tennessee 1947 Barbara Jo Walker.
Also on Saturday, Lexie Perry was crowned Miss Tennessee's Outstanding Teen.
She will represent Tennessee at the Miss America's Outstanding Teen Pageant, scheduled for July 29-Aug. 2 in Orlando, Florida.
The teen pageant is the younger-sister competition within the Miss America Organization. Contestants are ages 13-17 years old. They are judged in evening gown, active wear and interview competitions.
If Perry is crowned Miss America's Outstanding Teen, she will become the first Tennessee titleholder to earn the national crown.
The highest-placing Tennessee girl at the teen pageants, so far, is Miss Tennessee's Outstanding Teen 2006 Leah Beth Bolton. She was third runner-up at the national pageant.

Ohio Attorney General Marc Dann says he is "heartbroken by my failure" to recognize and stop problems in his office, in the wake of completion of a probe of sexual harassment complaints and other staff problems in his office.
He then acknowledged having a romantic relationship with a subordinate and apologized to his wife and children.
"I have not conducted my self in a way that is consistent with my values ...," he said.
Four people are now gone from the office: Communications Director Leo Jennings III and Director of general Services Anthony Gutierrez, who were fired; and Chief of Policy and Administration Edgar Simpson and Jessica Utovich, Dann's former scheduler and the office's travel director, who both resigned Thursday.
Dann said he accepted these decisions.
"I hired them with great hopes," Dann said. "Unfortunately they let me down."
Ben Espy, the executive assistant AG, cited a hostile work environment created by Gutierrez, an office rampant with rumor and inappropriate fraternization, and "poor judgment" on Dann's behalf.
Espy, who led the probe, said he did not have the authority to recommend suspending or reprimanding Dann for his behavior, but recommended the attorney general receive additional training related to proper office procedure.
But Thomas Winters, first assistant AG, said a federal Equal Employment Opportunity investigation into this case "can do more than we can. This agency can't discipline its principle."
As for whether Dann, who is married, had an affair with Utovich: Both declined to answer that question, Espy said. Espy added, "The refusal is an answer itself."
Utovich acknowledged delivering schedules to Dann's Dublin condo, and the investigation concluded that she had stayed overnight on more than one occasion. "I don't think you deliver a schedule overnight," Espy noted.
Dann admitted he did get involved in a romantic relationship that caused his family immense hurt and embarrassment.
Stupid mook. Stupid mook. Stupid mook.
Sounds like the AG's office was run like Animal House. When you hire incompetents this is the result. Dann was lucky to get elected in the first place. He won only because of the prior AG's corruption and ties to coin gate. Well, valley residents, that pretty much kills any chance of another valley politician getting elected statewide. Another black eye on the valley and yet another local incompetent.
Let's see, he admits to an affair but "doesn't know" if that was a violation of the AG's office?
When asked why he is not being penalized for his bad behavior and knowledge of wrong doing, he says that his guilt is his punishment?
He didn't think he would be elected so he wasn't prepared for the requirements or duties of the office but he is now?
He consciously hired people he knew were unqualified because he had 'great hope' for them? Is he taking a line from Barak about hope and change?
He lived with these two other guys, he didn't know one of them was a drunk, even though he had picked him up at the jail for DUI?
The important work he is doing outweighs anything he has done wrong, so he shouldn't resign?
We need to accept his apology and his feeling of guilt as sufficient punishment for his wrong doings and those of his hand selected staff?
To save money for the state, he used alternatives to the State Patrol for his and his families safety? It had nothing to do with him wanting to make sure there weren't witnesses?
If Strickland doesn't demand his resignation, what can we infer from that?
Marc Dann got elected as the candidate that was against "pay to play" politcs. But, as we have recently found out that he and his gang of idiots that he took to Columbus with him, were the ones that were playing while WE were paying. But hey , he had that all important D after his name folks. You get what you deserve, you sheep.

ŠENTVID / LJUBLJANA (SI) - Nearly six years ago, dans arhitekti won a competition for the design of a small block of social housing in Slovenia. When funding for the project was finally settled in 2011, construction could begin. Late last year, the complex of 22 small residences was completed. With its elegant steel enclosure the project still appears quite similar to the original design, and has been made very energy efficient, for instance, through its use of passive energy.
The new building is located in the rural district of Šentvid, which forms the north-western part of the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana. The site is located precisely at the intersection of the highway and the railway towards Italy and Austria, directly opposite a marshalling yard and the local train station. Because the highway goes underground here and the marshalling yard is very wide, the location is much quieter than one would initially expect.
The length of the block is aligned with a large car park, perpendicular to the Pipanova road. The ground under the building is slightly excavated, allowing for a semi-underground entrance level. Located here are the common entrance lobby, staircase, two living units and individual storage spaces. On the first and second floor are two times ten apartments, ranging from fourteen or seventeen square metres, for one or two persons, to 29 m2 for a family with two children.
The most striking part of the project is the white, forged steel fencing which encloses the balconies. When the sun shines, a graceful pattern of curls is projected onto the east or west facade. Slovenia has a long tradition of metalworking, which can be seen in the nearby village of Kropa. With this project, dans arhitekti demonstrates that it is indeed possible to resume this old tradition, and consequently, at the same time to design a contemporary, ornamented (and also energy-efficient) building.

Panicky Marlins make John Mallee a scapegoat. Who's next?
Maybe it was the sight of Fredi Gonzalez back in Sun Life Stadium for the first time since his firing last June 24.
Or maybe the Marlins were inspired by the Rangers' decision to fire their hitting coach, Thad Bosley, even while the defending American League champs are sitting in first place.
Maybe this was just a desperate ploy to grab some attention back from the Heat during these endless NBA playoffs.
Whatever the reason, the Marlins reached into their familiar bag of motivational tricks and fired hitting coach John Mallee after Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Braves.
Oddly, they replaced him with ESPN analyst Eduardo Perez, who spent 13 seasons in the big leagues with six different teams but has never been a hitting coach before. Perez, 41, is the son of Hall of Famer Tony Perez, a Marlins special assistant, and has managed in winter ball.
"The talent that's there is unreal," Eduardo Perez reportedly said of the Marlins on his final Baseball Tonight broadcast.
This, I suppose, is what happens when your offense is slumping as badly as the Marlins' offense has been, especially with runners in scoring position.
This is what happens when you drop 10 of 12 to waste nearly all of your good work after moving 10 games over .500.
This is what happens when half of your regular lineup sits in the bottom half of the majors in combined on-base/slugging percentage, including second baseman Omar Infante (163rd out of 171 qualifiers) and injured franchise shortstop Hanley Ramirez (156th).
"With Hanley Ramirez, it will happen," Perez said on the air. "One of the things he has to do is hit the ball out front. If he's able to do that, then he'll be able to elevate the baseball. He has been hitting a lot of ground balls and he's frustrated right now."
He's also on the disabled list with a lower-back issue. Nothing much the hitting coach — any hitting coach, even one who speaks Spanish — can do about that.
"Everybody has got their finger on the panic button," Marlins left fielder Logan Morrison said. "It's hard to relax and just play baseball."
Mallee, who was given less than a calendar year on the job after succeeding Jim Presley, also had his success stories.
Mike Stanton, even after this recent downturn, remains sixth in the National League in slugging and ranks ninth in OPS.
Gaby Sanchez, also in his second big-league season, is in the top 10 in batting average, on-base percentage and OPS.
Logan Morrison continues to make strides as a young hitter. Journeyman Greg Dobbs — who, amazingly enough, hit third in Mallee's final game while Stanton sat in favor of Scott Cousins — has worked his way into the starting role at third base.
Center fielder Chris Coghlan has struggled badly against lefties, but is that Mallee's fault? Coghlan has been productive overall.
Coghlan and Morrison were among the Marlins most supportive of Mallee, a classic organizational grinder who was in his 11th season working under Jeffrey Loria's ownership (the last 10 with the Marlins).
Nobody puts in longer hours or communicates better or expends more energy trying to help young hitters have success, several Marlins said after the move was announced. Nobody could reasonably blame the hitting coach for what has happened to the Marlins in recent weeks, those players suggested.
But the Marlins being the Marlins, that's exactly what they've chosen to do.
Five hours or so before Mallee's firing was announced, Gonzalez sat in the Braves dugout and told a story that hinted at what it must have been like for Mallee. The subject was the trouble young pitchers have bunting after they come up from the minors, and Gonzalez said he "used to hear about that from the owner" when he was managing the Marlins.
"It's one thing to bunt off a machine in the cage," Gonzalez said. "It's another to do it in a big-league game. I used to tell him, 'Jeffrey, it's different up here.' "
This move also could be a warning sign to Edwin Rodriguez, who was reminded Wednesday his one-year anniversary as the Marlins' replacement for Gonzalez is coming up in a little over two weeks (also June 24).
Rodriguez laughed a bit nervously and didn't have much to say about that.
With the panicky Marlins suddenly closer to fourth place than first, can't say I blame him.

Odd hardware
I'm totally not very sentimental about technology - the good old days really weren't very good at all, and I'm solidly in the "good riddance" camp when it comes to old computers and peripherals. I'll take the newest/smallest/fastest thing over those clunky machines of yesteryear.
As a result, when somebody sends me an email saying that the Sinclair QL turned 25 years old yesterday, and that I should mention it on my blog, I just went "hmm". Because while I had one and loved it, I have to say that I was so much happier with the PC I ended up replacing it with, and decided that I'll never use an odd-ball machine ever again.
(A promise I then broke several times, since I ended up playing with both alpha and PowerPC in my efforts to make sure that Linux wasn't too PC-centric. Oh well. Each time I ended up re-promising myself never to do that, and each experience just convinced me more that hardware that isn't mass market tends to not be worth it in the long run. But it can certainly be fun and interesting and a teaching experience).
But the email from Urs König (aka cowo) did end up festering in my mind and brought back fond memories. So here we are, twenty five years and one day later, and I'm writing a shout-out to the QL anyway. It was odd, and it was flaky to the point of being the only machine I had to do hardware surgery on to make stable and useful, but I guess I was at an impressionable age. And while I don't think there were many QL's that ever made it outside Britain, it was an interesting machine for its time.
Here's to odd hardware.

UNICEF is concerned about safety of children in Central African RepublicListen /
• Representatives of the government of the Central African Republic, the Séléka rebel group, civil society and opposition parties are in Libreville, Gabon, for talks to end the conflict in the country. At the same time, the rebels are reported to have taken over more cities. UNICEF says over 300,000 children have been affected by the fighting.
Chadian migrants are helped to settle
• Chadian migrants who have returned home from Libya are getting assistance to resettle in their country. The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) have signed a two-year community stabilization project to help the migrants and the host community. The Swiss agency has donated $2.9 million for the project.
UNICEF community initiative in Niger gives everyone a voice
• It's customary for children in Niger to help out with chores, whether at home or in the field. As a result, countless youngsters are kept out of school and are at risk of exploitation and abuse. A pilot programme supported by UNICEF is giving children in Niger a chance to have a say about what is important to them and their communities.

Panthers lose preseason finale, get swept by Lightning
Markstrom plays well in defeat
By Harvey Fialkov
Sun Sentinel
TAMPA – Panthers coach Pete DeBoer wanted to use his last preseason game against the Ligtning at the St. Pete Times Forum Saturday night as an audition for the bubble players while also erasing the many careless mistakes made the night before.
Well, one out of two isn't bad.
While bubble players such as center Mike Santorelli, forward Kenndal McArdle and defenseman Erik Gudbranson continued to make solid cases for avoiding Sunday's ax (six cuts neeed to get to 23-man roster), the crisp play he was hoping for never materialized in a 4-1 loss.
"We had a real good first period,''DeBoer said, referring to Florida's 1-0 lead and a 10-5 shot advantage.
"If the game had ended right there I'd be pretty happy but it didn't, and they cranked it up and we didn't when they raised their level.
"Whether it was personnel in the lineup we couldn't [match them. It doesn't matter the last 40 minutes is something you want to forget.''
The Panthers were outshot 35 to 11 the last two periods and repeatedly allowed Tampa's speedy forwards odd-man rushes against goalie Jacob Markstrom, who despite allowing four goals in his first full NHL game – albeit preseason – had 36 saves, many outstanding.
DeBoer decided to play Rochester-bound goalie Markstrom, while resting Tomas Vokoun and his top scorers in the final preseason game because of mounting injuries.
Four players are nicked up, including defenseman Dmitry Kulikov, who's nursing a nasty bond bruise on his foot. Forwards Byron Bitz (lower body), Chris Higgins (groin) and young defenseman Keaton Ellerby (shoulder) were unhealthy scratches.
Center Mike Santorelli, who seemed destined to Rochester before his outstanding training camp, scored on a sparkling shot from the slot for an early 1-0 lead in the first.
However, the Panthers, who staved off eight power plays Friday, continued to fill the penalty box up which led to theend of their 33-of-33 penalty kill streak when Vincent Lecavalier streaked past defenseman Jason Garrison to forge a 1-1 tie in the second period.
Then rising star Steven Stamkos took over the game, scoring two goals within two minutes, including one that deflected off defenseman Erik Gudbranson's skate and another power-play tally on a blistering wrist shot that beat Markstrom to the short side.
"It was really a fun experience,'' said the 6-foot-3 Swede Markstrom, 20, who many believe is Vokoun's heir apparent.
"I've been look forward to this for long time. You never want to let in goals, no matter where you play.
"I played 1 1/2 games total so just really glad to be here and hopefully be up here as soon as possible or stay here.''
The Panthers finish the preseason at 3-2-1 after starting with a three-game winning streak. They are off Sunday as management is expected to either demote or place six players on waivers so they could down to the alloted 23-man roster by Wednesday.
Markstrom has been earmarked for Rochester, but it appears as if 18-year-old top pick Erik Gudbranson will stay with the club at least for nine games after GM Dale Tallon confirmed that a contract offer will be tendered Monday.
If it's accepted, then the Panthers can evalate Gudbranson for nine games as they did last year with Kulikov, before deciding whether to retain him or return him to juniors. If returned, the Panthers wouldn't lose a year toward Gudbranson's seven-year free-agency rights.
"We'll do what's best for the kid,'' Tallon said.
Gudbranson, who played all six games, was too disappointed about the outcome to enjoy the news.
"That's good news but after tonight it doesn't really mean much,'' Gudbranson said. "First period we came out and completely dominated them….We couldn't put two periods together.
"I've been getting better as the days have gone on. I still have a lot of work to do. Since rookie camp I've been taking it day by day.
"Hopefully, it goes well.''

This website has been created to serve as a basis for discussion
on various changes in the football rules.
I've been watching football for years, mostly on television, and have thought about what could be done to make the game more attractive. I've often asked myself how it is possible for 22 men to chase a ball backwards and forwards for 90 minutes and end up with 0-0 draw. Such a result almost never occurs in hockey, handball or basketball.
Apart from changing the rules of the game, I also have some suggestions on changes to the competition format of the Football World Championships.

We've been getting peeks at different groups in each episode of "The Walking Dead" since season 4 resumed and when "Alone" airs this week, we'll get a few surprises, one in the form of a new group. According to a March 8 post International Business Times, there will also be a kidnapping. There are episode 4X13 spoilers ahead so stop here if you don't want to know!
Maggie, Bob and Sasha
Maggie, Sasha and Bob have to deal with walkers in a dense fog as can be seen in one of several sneak peeks released earlier this week. Sasha warns they only have 6 bullets left and in the video, she can be heard screaming Bob's name. It seems like Bob gets bitten.
Maggie overhears Sasha tell Bob that she believes Glenn is dead. This prompts Maggie to leave the group. Using walker blood, she writes messages for Glenn about Terminus. Bob and Sasha try to convince her to come back. Bob offers to help find Glenn but Sasha wants to find a safe home first. Sasha later reveals she also believes Tyreese is dead. Bob and Sasha end up going their separate ways. Eventually all three meet up again and continue to follow the train tracks, in search of Glenn.
Daryl and Beth
We will pick up with Daryl and Beth's journey. They are in a cemetery and decide to check out the funeral parlor. Beth injures her ankle while trying to track a walker and Daryl has to carry her through the graveyard. They come across a grave with an inscription that says "loving father" and they stop to pay their respects, holding hands. Inside the funeral parlor, they find food. It seems they are the group mentioned in the episode synopsis as finding shelter.
The place is clean and stocked because someone has been taking care of it…and embalming bodies. Beth and Daryl decide to stay and find out whose living there. A dog scratches at the door and Daryl goes to investigate. When he opens it, he is greeted by a group of walkers threatening to overrun the place. He tries to fend them off. Beth is kidnapped by someone who puts in her a black car and drives away before Daryl can stop them.
Daryl, now on his own, meets a new group. He has his differences with them but agrees to join them. Joe is accepting of this but Len is not.
Glenn finds the "Terminus" sign that the others have seen. It shouldn't be much longer before Maggie and Glenn are reunited!
"The Walking Dead" will air season 4, episode 13 "Alone" on Sunday, March 9 on AMC.

This past Thursday marked the second Coast to Coast Toast put on by Vanberg & DeWulf. Pubs around the country participated in a unified toast, raising their favorite beer brought to the states by the historic importer. With Thanksgiving also around the corner I wanted a beer that would honor the nationwide toast as well as fit in on the holiday table. The Beer of the Week is Posca Rustica.
Since 1983, Dupont has produced a beer especially for a Gallo-Roman site near the brewery where Stone Age life is interpreted, the Archeosite d'Aubechies.
Known as Cervesia in Belgium this beer is a throwback inspired by research into the drinks of the Gallo-Roman era. It is surely one of the brewery's most exotic beers. It is a "Cervoise" beer spiced with a gruit (an old-fashioned herb mixture used to bitter and flavor beer, that was popular before hops came to predominate). Posca Rustica beer is highly, if delicately, spiced. Sweet woodruff (known as Galium odoratum or wild baby's breath) and bog myrtle are but two of about a dozen spices used. Posca Rustica has a unique, odiferous and spicy character. Bottle conditioned. Beguiling and unusual. Discover what beer tasted like when Belgium was ruled by the Roman Empire.
Posca Rustica pours a hazy golden amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is yeast driven but contains hints of the spices and herbs used for bittering. Flavors of ripe apple and pear wash over the tongue with a spiciness from the yeast and alcohol. Bittered with traditional herbs and spices, without reading the label you might mistake this for a standard saison or French farmhouse ale. The finish is yeasty and spicy with no lingering bitterness.
Posca Rustica makes for an excellent beer to have with food. Grab a bottle and pop the cork before the feast as the yeast driven flavors will pair well with you pre-feast cheeses and many gameday snacks. While enjoying a glass for Thanksgiving also raise a toast to the fine work of Vanberg & DeWulf for the past 31 years.

I want to store some files on a server, but need them to be encrypted, so that encryption/decryption happens only on the client.
An obvious choice would be something like a truecrypt volume that is accessed over webdav/ftp .. but the problem here is that the entire volume needs to be transfered (twice) for each change that happens to any of the files inside the volume.
Are there any other solutions? Maybe something like truecrypt with built-in remote access functionality? Or a webdav/ftp-like protocol with finer granularity for block- rather than file-level access?
Or should I be approaching this from an entirely different angle?

New Zealand house building activity grew at its fastest pace in almost 12 years in the first quarter as construction ramped up to rebuild the country's second-biggest city and fill a housing shortage in Auckland.
The volume of residential building work put in place grew a seasonally adjusted 15 percent in the three months ended March 31, the biggest quarterly increase since September 2002, and accelerating from a 2.3 percent rise in the December quarter, according to Statistics New Zealand. (See graph below)
The value of residential building work grew 17 percent to $2.36 billion in the period, its eighth quarterly gain. The volume of non-residential work grew 17 percent in the first three months of the year, from a fall of 2 percent in the December quarter, and the value climbed 18 percent to $1.4 billion.
"It's definitely stronger than what we had in mind," said Christina Leung, economist at ASB Bank in Auckland. "Our expectations were for a modest increase in construction activity that reflected the fact everything's tracking up.
The tick up in actual building activity coincides with growing issuance of new consents with the country's two biggest cities, Auckland and Christchurch, driving work due to their respective housing shortages.
Local authorities issued residential building consents worth $2.29 billion and non-residential permits worth $1.19 billion in the March quarter.
Construction activity is seen as a major driver for economic growth in the coming year, and the Reserve Bank is closely watching whether inflation pressures are growing from the Canterbury and Auckland building programmes.
ASB's Leung said today's data is unlikely to prompt the Reserve Bank to ramp up its tightening of monetary policy because inbound migration is adding to the supply of workers and alleviating some of the labour costs associated with the Canterbury rebuild. ASB expects governor Graeme Wheeler will life the official cash rate 25 basis points next week to 3.25 percent, before pausing until the December meeting.
Traders are betting the bank will hike the key rate 81 basis points over the coming 12 months, according to the Overnight Index Swap curve.
The New Zealand dollar recently traded at 84.32 US cents from 84.34 cents immediate before the release.
Today's figures showed Canterbury building work rose 25 percent in the quarter, with residential activity up 31 percent and non-residential up 16 percent.
On an unadjusted basis, new residential work rose 29 percent to $1.77 billion in the quarter, for an annual lift of 26 percent to $6.4 billion. Non-residential building work grew 12 percent to $1.3 billion from March 2013, and was up 4.2 percent to $5.03 billion on an annual basis.

Meanwhile Venera 5 was launched from its parking orbit towards Venus to obtain atmospheric data. The spacecraft was very similar to Venera 4 although it was of a stronger design. When the atmosphere of Venus was approached, a capsule weighing 405 kg and containing scientific instruments was jettisoned from the main spacecraft. During satellite descent towards the surface of Venus, a parachute opened to slow the rate of descent. For 53 min on May 16, 1969, while the capsule was suspended from the parachute, data from the Venusian atmosphere were returned. The spacecraft also carried a medallion bearing the coat of arms of the U.S.S.R. and a bas-relief of V.I. Lenin to the night side of Venus.

WATCH: Neil Patrick Harris takes the ALS ice bucket challenge
How I Met Your Mother and Hedwig star, Neil Patrick Harris has taken the ice bucket challenge and decided to make the dare a family affair.
Perched on a stoop outside his home, the Tony=award-winning star said he was challenged by cookie monster and Ben Affleck amongst others. As his twins Harper and Gideon watch, husband-to-be David Burtka dumps a bucket load of icy water on to Harris's heads.
Whilst Harris is shocked by the freezing dousing, his kids seem to think the whole thing is hilarious.
Harris in turn has challenged Castle star Nathan Fillion, Mad Men's Christina Hendricks and fledgling film star Dave Franco.
The ALS ice bucket challenge has raised nearly 22 million to date.

There are a quite few things we like large quantities of.
-Ryan Gosling
So it's only natural that we'd like Rimmel Extra Wow Lash Mascara ($12) as much as we do. It adds up to twelve times more va-va-va-volume (than bare lashes) thanks to its pumped-up volume building brush and buildable formula. And bigger is always better. Especially when it comes to
Ryan Gosling cheesecake.

With bigger, more powerful consoles comes larger, more hefty DLC packages and that is what we have seen since the PS4 and Xbox One launched last year.
Recently, EEDAR president Geoffrey Zatkin commented on how DLC packages have evolved and changed from the time when the PS3 and Xbox 360 were the main systems, to now when the PS4 and Xbox One have taken over center stage.
"If you went and bought every piece of DLC and averaged them out, in the 7th gen they're basically a tenth of a gig. For 8th gen right now it's basically a seventh of a gig. There's been a huge jump in DLC size, due in a lot of cases to the fidelity you can achieve. And if you look at the hard drive sizes, taking the max size of each one, you can also see there's been a big jump.
"The average DLC size has gone up 8.8 times the amount and the hard drive sizes have gone up about 12.5 times as much.
"Sure the hard drives are a lot larger, but more and more games are putting more game-effecting DLC that people will buy, so on average over time even with bigger hard drives, because people are downloading more DLC in addition to the games they are downloading, I think we're going to start seeing constraints on the amount people can put on a console unless the [manufacturers] start providing extra storage options," Zatkin said.
This does make sense from the correlating standpoint of bigger consoles with more space, equals bigger add-on content for consumers; however, space is still limited on systems like the PS4 and Xbox One.
If we continue to see exponential growth in this area, which one would assume DLC sizes will plateau at some point, then players will quickly find there is no space on their PS4 and Xbox One.
Xbox One owners will undoubtedly find this problem sooner than PS4 owners, mostly due to the fact that they have to install games anyway, and that's before DLCs even come into play.
As we progress through the existences of the PS4 and Xbox One, it'll be interesting to monitor this trend and many others. The industry is evolving and moving toward a more prevalent digital era, and we'll see how not only DLCs change as we go along, but full games themselves.
For all of our latest exclusives, previews, reviews and features, follow us on Twitter and like us on Facebook. Game On.
Thanks, GI!

Date: November 23 2012
A PALESTINIAN was shot dead in the Gaza Strip by Israeli border guards and 25 were injured on Friday, Hamas said, in the most serious clashes since the ceasefire accord.
Palestinian farmers were shot at on land they own near the Israel-Gaza border, said Ashraf al-Qedra, a spokesman for the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza.
Israel's army said soldiers fired at the legs of Palestinians after groups of them approached the border security fence, damaged it and then failed to leave when warnings shots were fired.
The Palestinian emergency service identified the dead man as Abdelhadi Qdeih Anwar, 21.
Earlier Israeli authorities arrested an Arab Israeli on accusations he planted the bomb on a Tel Aviv bus that wounded 27 people on Wednesday.
A police spokesman said the man, from Taibeh in Israel, was connected to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad militant groups.

Sometimes you come across an obscure band whose music completely blows you away, whose songs become instant favorites, and Dublin's noise-art post-punk quartet Girl Band is without a doubt one of those bands for me. And that includes their brand new 7" on Any Other City Records, titled De Bom Bom, which is home to two songs - "De Bom Bom" on Side A, and a cover of Beat Happening's "I Love You" on Side B.
"De Bom Bom" is a spazzed-out, grungy, noise-as-art arrangement with vocals that remind me somewhat of David Yow of The Jesus Lizard and Joe McTighe of Craw. As usual, these mad soundcrafters combine fuzz guitar, brief moments of echoey dissonance, tight and busy drumming, and strong low end that acts as a sort of connective tissue in the anatomy of each musical body. Quite simply, Girl Band's music is like a complex mathematical equation that, although brilliant, doesn't quite add up, and because of that it intrigues the hell out of you and demands listen after listen.
The De Bom Bom 7" is limited to 500 copies and appears to have sold out already. Hopefully it will be re-pressed or become available for digital download in the near future.
Incidentally, Girl Band is Dara Kiely (vocals), Alan Duggan (guitar), Daniel Fox (bass), and Adam Faulkner (drums). So...not one girl in a band called Girl Band. Still a great band name, though, even if slightly misleading.
Check out the video for "De Bom Bom" included with this review.

The Philippine Embassy in Singapore Launches the Balik-Manggagawa Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) Appointment System
Posted on Wednesday, 28 November 2012
The Philippine Embassy in Singapore launches the Balik-Manggagawa Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC) appointment system to address the long queues of OFWs returning home for vacation.
Starting December 03, 2012, Balik-Manggagawa (BM) or vacationing OFWs in Singapore will now be able to set an appointment on-line thru the Embassy website. This appointment system was developed and launched by POEA in Manila on November 05, 2012 and is being pilot-tested in Singapore for the convenience of returning workers who are trooping to the Embassy in large numbers due to the peak season.
The Philippine Overseas Labour Office (POLO) in Singapore clarified that the BM-OEC is not a requirement to exit Singapore but will only be needed to be presented at the NAIA upon their return to exempt our OFWs from payment of travel tax and airport terminal fee. This means that our OFWs also have the option to secure an appointment by accessing the POEA website at www.poea.gov.ph and will be able to choose where to get the BM-OEC in the Philippines. The POEA has put up counters at its main office in Mandaluyong City, Duty Free Philippines in Parañaque City and SM Manila to accommodate those who choose to get their OEC or exit clearance at a specific date and time.
This appointment service is free which is accessible at www.philippine-embassy.org.sg. While the use of the system is being promoted, the Embassy will make provisions for walk-in clients until our OFWs have familiarized themselves with the on-line appointment.
BM or returning workers have to pay SG$3.00 for OEC processing fee; SG$42.00 for OWWA contribution on a per contract coverage; and SG5.50 contribution to Pag-ibig Fund.
POLO-Singapore further stated that those who are going home due to an emergency or have immediate flights to catch are advised to make on-line appointments at the POEA website and get their OECs at the processing center of their choice in the Philippines. Further, OFWs have the additional option to walk-in at the POEA Regional Offices in their respective provinces without an appointment.

The latest craze among young adults is not going clubbing, or drinking, it's going to a hookah lounge to smoke. A hookah is a water pipe used to smoke tobacco through cooled water. Some of my friends frequent these lounges to sit and smoke flavored tobacco that is heated in a bowl on top of the hookah then the tobacco is smoked through cooled water that runs into the pipe. There seems to be a lot of myths surrounding whether or not smoking a hookah is good or bad. I decided to do my own research to see if the myths are true or false.
In the 2013 Nicotine & Tobacco Research, researchers treated cells from the lining of human lungs with tobacco and non-tobacco smoke from a water pipe smoking machine. They found that smoke from a hookah pipe slows down and stunts lung production regardless of whether the smoke came from a tobacco or tobacco-free product.(1) I did further research and here is what I found.
- Smoking tobacco through water does not filter cancer causing chemicals like some may think. As a matter of fact, it can harm and damage the heart and lungs as much or worse than cigarette smoke.(2)
- Smoking the different flavored herbs still exposes the smoker to tar and carcinogens; it's the same as cigarettes.
- Hookah smoke contains high levels of arsenic, and 36 times more tar and more carbon monoxide and carcinogens than cigarettes. Because it requires taking harder and longer drags when smoking a hookah in comparison to smoking cigarettes.
- One hookah session can expose you to the amount of tar and nicotine equal to one pack of cigarettes.
- Smoking hookah may cause being addicted to smoking.(3)
- Smoking a hookah is just as dangerous or even more so than smoking cigarettes.(4)
- Just because hookah tobacco contains fruit, or is soaked in honey and is smoked through water doesn't make it safer… You're still smoking the cancer causing chemicals in the tobacco.
- Second hand smoke from hookah is just as bad as second hand smoke from cigarettes.
As per Adrienne J. Heinz, a researcher who studies alcohol and drug use at Stanford University School of Medicine in California, "People don't generally seem to understand just how dangerous hookah smoking can be"(5) Scientific literature states, hookah has been linked with health problems including chronic bronchitis, lung cancer, oral cancer, prostate cancer, heart disease and pregnancy complications similar to those seen with cigarette smoking. You also run the risk of contracting the herpes and other viruses from sharing mouthpieces.(6) Even though there seems to be a big misconception that smoking a hookah is safer than cigarettes, let me clear the hookah smoked air of this myth. Smoking a hookah is just as harmful as cigarettes, and can potentially be worst. I started to wonder; whatever happened to going to a dance club with your friends?

TORONTO – Connor McDavid has been the talk of Canada's junior national team this week.
How much have people been talking about the precocious 16-year-old who is trying to bull his way onto a team, and into a tournament, traditionally dominated by 19-year-olds? On Friday, a reporter prefaced a question about McDavid to teammate Kerby Rychel by apologizing for asking the question.
"It's OK, he deserves it," Rychel said of the attention coming McDavid's way. "He's an exceptional hockey player. He deserves to be here. He's got tremendous skill. His speed is going to be a big factor on the big ice like this. He's a phenomenal hockey player and we are lucky to have him here now."
It appears McDavid will stay with Canada too, despite initial thoughts that his youth might hold him back. He is going to Europe when the national team departs Sunday for the World Junior Championship, but Canada still needs to cut two forwards and a defenseman. It does not appear that McDavid will be among those hearing bad news from coach Brent Sutter between now and Dec. 26, which is the date of Canada's opening game.
If he makes the team, McDavid will be the first 16-year-old to play for Canada at the World Juniors since Sidney Crosby in 2004.
Sunday afternoon, McDavid proved how special he could be yet again, scoring the first of Canada's three goals in a 3-0 shutout of a select team of college hockey players from the Toronto area. The vast majority of those players were well past their 21st birthday, yet McDavid was one of Canada's most dominant players. His goal came on a sweet release of a cross-ice pass from Rychel.
"He was good tonight," Sutter said, giving as much ground as he has in the fight to keep the expectations surrounding McDavid in check. "He really did a good job."
The eyes of Canada have been on McDavid for the past several years. Last season, he was granted exceptional-player status by Hockey Canada and was able to join the Ontario Hockey League as an under-age player.
In his first season with the Erie Otters, McDavid had 25 goals and 66 points in 62 games. This season, he already has 50 points in 31 games.
Jake Paterson, one of the two Canadian national team goalies, plays for Saginaw in the OHL and has faced McDavid several times already. He hasn't enjoyed any of them.
Sunday afternoon, he much preferred the view as McDavid's teammate.
"He's pretty crazy seeing the age gap from Connor up to the players we were playing against tonight, but I thought he played pretty well and stood out like he always does," Paterson said.
Everybody that has crossed McDavid's path has similar scouting reports, it seems.
Sam Reinhart played with McDavid in the U-18 setup for Canada. Now they have shared the same line for the first two days of selection camp and seem to have bankable chemistry.
Reinhart says virtually anyone on this Canada team could play the flank on McDavid's line.
"The hype is not wrong," Reinhart said." He is a special player. It is definitely easy to play with him. He's just so smart out there as well. There is a skill that he brings, but his hockey sense can't be overlooked. He's always making the right plays in the defensive end and the offensive end. He just has a complete game."
Ah, the defensive end of the game? That has always been the knock on McDavid. Sure, he is a once-in-a-generation talent with the puck. But, can he be serviceable enough without the puck to succeed at the game's highest levels?
McDavid has heard those complaints and taken them to heart. After going minus-24 as an OHL rookie, he is plus-22 this season. Those numbers don't tell the whole story, but they are a view into the defensive improvement McDavid has made through hard work and dedication to that side of his game.
It's paying off with Hockey Canada. Sunday, McDavid was good without the puck and his line gave up virtually no chances. He knows that can only bode well for his chances to make this World Junior team.
"Obviously, a big part of the World Juniors is being able to be put out there at any time and no one can be a liability out there," McDavid said. "If you are a liability in your own zone, you are not going to get put out there. So I think being good both ways is going to help."
So, if McDavid does make the team, what will his role be? He has said he will do anything the coaching staff wants. If they want him to be the 13th forward, he's ready to sign up. If they want him to play the point on the power play, like he did Sunday afternoon, good by him.
"How much of an impact I can have is completely up to me," he said. "I have to make the most of my opportunities and if I can do that I feel like maybe I can play a role in this.
"I want to have fun with this. It's a great opportunity and [you want to] make sure you don't let it slip by without giving it everything you have."

Kourtney Kardashian was recently spotted hanging out with her adorable kids Mason and Penelope in their hometown of Calabasas, CA, and wearing a pair of extremely bold Stuart Weitzman Knee-High Gladiator Sandals. These rather epic (in every sense of the word) pieces of footwear are comparatively reasonably priced, at least when viewed in the price spectrum of "things Kardashians buy" – you can pick up a pair of your own for $398 at Nordstrom.
These statement-making, nappa leather Stuart Weitzman sandals seem to work wonders for petite shorties like Kourtney. They provide the illusion of length, making – hold up, I'm sorry, is that a skort? Are we bringing skorts back? Is it time to raid my middle school wardrobe once again? (Just kidding, I can't fit in to anything from middle school! If you can, I sort of hate you already.)

Attending an interview can be stressful and nerve-wracking. When you are nervous, the chances are you might fail to impress the employer and also fail to communicate effectively that you are the ideal candidate for this role. Being well prepared will curtail your nervousness and thus boost your confidence to get your dream job.
I have had my share of interviews. Based on my experience of attending interviews and taking interviews, I have collated the following preparation steps. By following these steps one-by-one you can be well prepared.
1. Know thyself – First and foremost, read your resume thoroughly. This is where all the questions for the interview will begin and end. For example, the interviewer might ask 'I see that you have one year experience in technical communication. Can you tell me how that experience will be useful for this role?' or 'You have written in your resume that you are detail-oriented. Can you give an example how you used this skill in your previous employment?'
2. Know the roles and responsibilities – Read the job description of the role you applied for from top to bottom. While you are reading through it, identify the skills required for that job and align it with your skills. This way when you are asked, 'What makes you the right candidate for this role? or 'Why should we hire you?', you are prepared to provide an answer, which is convincing and honest.
3. Research the company – Get in to the company's website, read about their history, their services, their customers, and latest news (you can also check google news). You can use this information to showcase your interest to work for the company and also this will help you to come up with relevant questions to demonstrate knowledge of the company.
4. Prepare FAQs – Start writing a list of possible questions you may be asked. Collate all questions from your previous interviews that are relevant to the role and prepare your answers. Some of the common questions are as follows:
- Tell me about yourself?
- Can you give me an example of an issue you helped resolve? What improvement did you suggest? What happened? Was it implemented?
- Why should we chose you for this position? / Why should we hire you? / Do you think you are the ideal candidate?
- What skills does it take to be a successful in this role?
- What are your strengths?
- Why do you want to work for this company? Why are you interested in working for this company?
5. Prepare to ask questions - Many of the candidates say 'No' when the interviewer asks them if they have any questions. Most of the people don't realize that this is not only an another opportunity to show how interested you are to work for the company but also it is an opportunity to find out whether the job is right fit for you. The best questions come from listening to the interviewer when he/she explains the company and the role and asking for additional information.
6. Identify your USP – This is term commonly used in the marketing field. When you are at an interview you are marketing yourself. So, what is your Unique Selling Proposition (USP)? By identifying your USP, you are setting yourself apart from your competitors. For example, for a person working in marketing, their USP is creativity, which is a key skill in marketing. Hence, during their interview, they share some of their creative ideas, which would bring the company's product and the company in the forefront. This will not only impress the employer but will also get them thinking whether they are the ideal candidate.
7. Review – The word says it all. Whatever you have prepared, read it once, twice, thrice and more. The better prepared you are, the more confident you will be during the interview.
8. Look the part – We have all heard the famous adage, 'First impression is the best impression'. Studies have revealed that employers consistently ask the question, "Does the individual look right for the job?". No matter what kind of job or how laid back the office environment is, you should always be dressed in a business-like, professional manner for an interview. By dressing your part you naturally convey confidence and a positive attitude. These nonverbal messages are as important in the interview as the verbal skills you use in marketing your qualifications.
By following these steps, I am sure you will be confident to demonstrate everything you have to offer for the company in your interview. All the best for your interview!

The Coronation
Probably the most spectacular and mystical ceremony connected with monarchy, this is the solemn rite whereby a sovereign is anointed, crowned and consecrated king or queen.
The earliest inaugurations of kings throughout Europe took the form of the presentation of the ruler elect to a gathering of his people, who signified their consent to his coronation by acclamation. This done, he was raised shoulder high on a shield so that all might see him and know him.
These two elements, now known as the recognition and the enthronement, still form part of the coronation rite performed today. Other integral parts of the rite are the administration of the oath, the anointing with consecrated oil, the vesting with the coronation vestments, and the delivery of the regalia, culminating with the actual crowning, and closed by the reception of Holy Communion.
The coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937 in Westminster Abbey is well described in the diaries of the American-born socialite Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon. In his account of the event he says 'I tried to remember the great moments of the ceremony: I think the shaft of sunlight, catching the King's golden tunic as he sat for the crowning; the kneeling Bishops drawn up like a flight of geese in deploy position; and then the loveliest moment of all, the swirl when the peeresses put on their coronets: a thousand white gloved arms, sparkling with jewels, lifting their tiny coronets'.
Channon was also impressed by the homage of the peers to the King, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, with all the other Bishops kneeling in a row, 'looking like a Gentile Bellini'.
Queen Elizabeth was crowned on 2 June 1953, some 16 months after she acceded to the throne. The ceremony was performed, as is customary, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the most senior cleric of the Church of England.
The organisation of the Coronation is the responsibility of the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk.

The Church of Owego doesn't have a church. There's no pastor. They don't take up a collection. But they're always looking for new members.
The Church of Owego is a gathering of pastors and their faith communities who share experiences, pray together, and look for ways to become more closely united in prayer and action. Here's how it all got started…
Six years ago, Reverend Terry Steenberg was settling in as the new pastor of the First Baptist Church of Owego. He looked around and saw a quiet old town, dotted with quiet old churches, each standing as isolated from the other as islands in the Susquehanna River that flows behind Main Street. Too isolated, too quiet, he thought; this town needs a revival. Pastor Terry decided to build bridges. He began making calls, sending emails, meeting with other pastors, inviting them to come together to unite in prayer for the spirit of their town. Those first meetings grew into "Owego Prays," an informal association of spiritual leaders seeking to help each other rekindle the spiritual fire in their Owego congregations. People prayed together at ecumenical worship services; congregations were invited to each other's concerts, revivals, social events. Recently, to highlight the pastors' vision of unity, the group's name was changed to "The Church of Owego."
Today pastors take turns hosting community prayer meetings for revival twice a week. On Thursdays the pastors come together for planning and fellowship. On Easter morning, members of many of the member churches assemble for a "Sonrise" service, church ministers pitching in to lead the singing and prayer. Other special events are held throughout the year.
As Pastor Terry stresses in his newsletter, "The Church of Owego" is not an organization – "it's a movement of God's Spirit amongst God's people in Owego and the surrounding area for the furtherance of His Kingdom in this place. We are striving for unity, prayerfulness, and love within the Body of Christ that reaches out with love to all the 'whosoevers' of Owego."
Want to get a feel for what church must have been like before boundaries, before people starting becoming isolated, gathering in separate buildings with different names over the doors? Check out a Church of Owego gathering – or contact Pastor Terry; he can give you some pointers on helping the churches in your town begin coming together in prayer and action.

18 prospective physicians will be in Tyler Saturday, Jan. 22, for second look at Family Medicine Residency Program
Wednesday, January 19, 2011
Eighteen soon-to-be medical school graduates will be in Tyler on Saturday, Jan. 22, for their second look at the Family Medicine Residency Program at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler.
Almost 20 percent of Americans, 56 million people, have inadequate or no access to primary care physicians because of a shortage of providers, and a majority of them are insured, according to a report issued in March 2008 by the National Association of Community Health Centers and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
UTHSCT's three-year Family Medicine Residency Program graduates eight physicians each summer, which opens slots for new medical school graduates to apply for. This will be the second opportunity for both the prospective applicants and UT Health Science Center to determine if they are a good fit for the program and vice versa.
The graduates will come from six of the eight medical schools in Texas, plus schools in Arizona, Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Mississippi.
They will meet for lunch Saturday when several speakers will present an overview of the Family Medicine Residency Program, including Jonathan MacClements, MD, director of the program and chairman of UTHSCT's Department of Family Medicine.
Saturday evening, UTHSCT President Dr. Kirk A. Calhoun and his wife, Jeanette, will host the prospective applicants at an informal dinner at their home.
For 60 years, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler has provided excellent patient care and cutting-edge treatment, specializing in pulmonary disease, cancer, heart disease, primary care, and the disciplines that support them. UTHSCT's annual operating budget of $125 million represents a major economic impact of over $287 million to the Northeast Texas region. In FY 2009, scientists in the Center for Biomedical Research were awarded 80 competitive grants and contracts totaling $14.6 million. As the academic medical center for Northeast Texas, its graduate medical education program – with residencies in family medicine and occupational medicine – provide doctors for many communities throughout the region and beyond.

The project started when two research projects met each other, both an attempt to map time and place it into three dimensions; the past, the present and the
future. Once the two research projects were combined, something else rouse to light; time did not seem to stand as a solid form and an attempt to pin it down into categories was to limit its potential. The attention was directed to the experience of time and how we all perceive it and live in its rhythm differently.

Using technology to boost return on investment.
As increasing fuel costs, mounting environmental concerns, and the need to refurbish ailing fleets as the newer ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) take their toll on engines, fleet managers are seeking alternatives that won't destroy carefully negotiated budgets.
Are you prepared for the next generation of emission standards? Are you prepared to transition to a new diesel fuel? Are you prepared to incorporate new diesel engine technology into your already mixed fleet of diesel engines?

The 2013 version of "Carrie" will be available to own on Jan. 14.
The film:
The tagline for the 2013 update of "Carrie" reads: "You will know her name." But the problem is that we've known her name for quite some time. And Kimberly Pierce's update doesn't really add anything shocking or surprising that the viewer already saw in Brian De Palma's version.
Of course, Pierce does modernize it – showing one of Carrie's bullies filming the shower incident with her cell phone and then uploading it to YouTube. But a lot of it is basically the same. There's the famous prom scene where a bucket of pig's blood is dumped on the newly crowned queen, and she goes into full attack mode – unleashing her telekinesis powers on the whole school. But Pierce uses a lot of CGI and overcranking during the final moments, and it strips away any intensity that could have been felt. And did we really need three different camera angles to show the bucket dropping on Carrie?
The actors aren't bad. Chloe Grace Moretz is great as the outcast Carrie, who is starting to discover her powers and hones them before the finale. Julianne Moore and Judy Greer do fine work as well, respectively, as the ultra-religious mother and the gym teacher who tries to help Carrie.
But Pierce's version doesn't do anything that's already been done before, and her version of "Carrie" feels unnecessary and ultimately becomes a bit of a bore.
The Blu-ray:
There are two versions of the film. One is the original theatrical cut, and the other is the same version but with a different ending. The alternate ending is about as ridiculous and anti-climatic as the one featured in the theatrical version.
There is about 10 minutes worth of deleted and extended scenes with optional commentary from Pierce.
"Creating Carrie" goes behind-the-scenes of the film with interviews from the cast and crew.
"The Power of Telekinesis" is a segment in which the cast and crew discuss their thoughts on telekinesis.
One other thing that was great about "Carrie" was its advertising campaign. One example, the "Telekinetic Coffee Shop Surprise," can also be found in the special features for the Blu-ray. For those who missed it when it originally ran, click here to see it.

There is nothing worse than feeling like a failure. I feel this way too often. In my classes, I feel as though I do not meet the needs of my students. One particular student always tests my patience and does not understand the meaning of silence is golden. When I lose my cool, I am instantly filled with regret and feelings of failure, even though the rest of my day might have had victories.
The same goes with my eating and exercise plans. Yesterday I exercised with my daughter and had a great time doing it. But I allowed one television show to move me to eat what they were eating. Crazy! Once I finished it, I was filled with guilt and feelings of failure. Am I the only one out there that goes through this roller coaster ride?
Well, there was a man named Simon Peter. He loved Jesus and promised to stay with Him. He said that he would die for Jesus. But when the time came for him to stand up and tell others of his association with Jesus, he denied even knowing Jesus. In fact, he did so three times. And the worst part was that Jesus told him that this would happen. Did Peter feel guilty and look upon himself as a failure? Of course he did.
The story has a happy ending because when Jesus rose from the dead, he went to Peter and showed him mercy. In fact, he made Peter breakfast and asked him THREE times if he loved HIM. There is great significance in this number three. Peter denied him three times and Jesus made Peter say to himself that he loved Jesus three times. One declaration for each denial. He found forgiveness from Jesus and himself which is amazing and awesome. Jesus reinstated Peter through forgiveness and grace.
So, I must do the same. With each slip, and each detour, find the time to accept what I did as wrong and then declare that I do not have to stay that way. For me it will take many baby steps to reach my final destination, but each step is so important to my overall health and well-being. The only way I can accomplish my goals is if I daily tell myself that I love me and will feed my soul with God, nourish my stomach with healthy food, and burn the fat through activity. Forgive and move on. Reinstate my purpose to reach my destiny.
