This Elevate Fitness Studio Client Made a Positive Change

|Dr. Lynda Molstad poses with her trainer, Gonzalo Perez, inside Elevate Fitness Studio.
She got her entire office staff involved.
Seeing the benefits of her training program and nutrition counseling at Elevate Fitness, Molstad convinced her office employees to join in her an eight-week fitness challenge. Soon, everyone in the office was reaping the benefits of the studio's rigorous resistance weight training program.
Since she joined Elevate Fitness studio, Molstad has lost 35 pounds and no longer suffers from knee and foot pain. For her 48th birthday recently, she ran a half-marathon, racing across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
"It felt great," Molstad said. "I had no pain at all. Exercise truly is the fountain of youth."
Paul David, owner of Elevate Fitness Studio, is as impressed with Molstad's ability to motivate others as he is with her personal progress.
"She's such a positive person," he said. "Her attitude is very supportive of others, which shows in the fact she signed up her whole office. Here's a living example of somebody who set a resolution and stuck with it."
To David, Molstad is the epitome of the name of his studio.
"It's what's in a name," he said. "To me, elevate means everything from raising yourself to a higher level to raising other people's spirits."
An active athlete in gymnastics, track and field and dance in her childhood, Molstad had slowed as she got older. When she came into Elevate Fitness Studio, she could barely do one pushup. Now, she can do pushups with a 30-pound sandbag on her back.
"I still remember the day Gonzalo told me we were going to transform my body," Molstad said, referring to her trainer, Gonzalo Perez. "At that point, I was at 205 pounds. I am so grateful to Paul and the wonderful staff at Elevate."
"Lynda deserved a lot of the credit for doing it on her own," David said. "She made a lot of nutritional changes that were up to her to do. The weight loss was more a byproduct of everything she was doing. She increased her energy and reduced the pain."

Hideo Kojima has provided some new information in regards to the novel included in the Japanese limited edition of the upcoming multiplatform video game, "Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes." According to a report from Metal Gear Informer on Jan. 21, the game director confirmed that the book will be retelling the story from the previously-released, "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker."
"Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes" takes place after the events that occurred in the earlier title. The development team may have felt that players who did not beat "Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker" may need to catch up on the plot of the complicated series.
In addition to text, the novel also features new artworks done by Yoji Shinkawa, the lead artist for the "Metal Gear Solid" series. You can find some images of the book, along with screenshots from the video game, in the slideshow located to the left side of this article.
The limited edition containing the special novel can only be purchased from the Japanese branch of Amazon. Konami Digital Entertainment, the publisher of the video game, has not yet announced plans for a limited edition in the west.
"Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes" will be made available starting on March 18th in North America for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles.

What is a timeshare and why might I want one? Are there any hidden costs to timeshares?
You are basically buying a reserved room at a resort of some sort for a particular time slot each year. You'll pay some money up front to "buy" it, plus a yearly maintenance fee. You can then use that spot for your vacation each year or trade it with other people who own timeshares to get a vacation at their place.
I can't really think of any situation in which a timeshare would be appropriate for anyone. If you really wanted one, there are plenty of people willing to give them away for free just to get out from underneath the maintenance fees. To me, that means they are worth less than nothing.
To your second question, "why might I want one", if you plan to go to the same resort each year for a certain amount of time, you are ensuring you have accommodations there. Also, you can trade time at other timeshares if you like to travel. So, reasons you might want one: you love playing golf at a certain course not near your house, you have plenty of vacation time (or are retired), you enjoy travel. If all of that is worth it to you, to Eric's point, find one from an owner looking to get out as it will be far cheaper.

In T – 10 days, one of the biggest music festivals this side of the western hemisphere is set to take over your media, Twitter, and Facebook newsfeeds. South by Southwest is a music, film, and interactive festival held yearly in Austin, Texas. The music portion features up and coming and established artists on stage, during panels, and more in dozens of showcases, sessions, and parties throughout the week. Although the entire festival lasts from March 7th – 16th, music begins halfway through on the 11th and ends on the 16th. See below and through March for some artists to watch whether or not you'll be celebrating with the rest of us in Texas this year.
A duo hailing from the mean streets of New York City, Astr finds a home in smooth-wave electronic styles. Zoe's unique voice pairs perfectly with Adam's penchant for keys and old school tunes. The duo just released their debut, Varsity EP, in January with Neon Gold records. Their "Hold on We're Going Home" Drake cover shows just how talented the two are; taking a massive hip-hop song and turning it on its head. Astr is a huge contender to the scene and is sure to blow some minds this year on stage.
Favorite tracks: Operate; Hold on We're Going Home
With a silky, deep, and soulful voice touched by slight Iron & Wine influences, Hozier has quietly attracted a dedicated following with his spooky, dark single, "Take me to Church."

Andrew Hozier-Byrne may be new to the scene, but he no doubt will draw a massive SXSW crowd, ready to be taken away from reality while he performs. Don't sleep on this.

In a recent interview with Meagan Paullin, Pull-ups Potty Training Partner, she expressed her excitement of how much easier it is to potty train with the help of the Pull-Ups Big Kid Academy App for her phone.

Tensions between Russia and the United States have continued to remain tense in the aftermath of the Russian annexation of Crimea. In response to harsh criticisms about the Crimea affair from the Obama administration Russia has been demonstrating its military power across the world. Pentagon officials said on Monday NORAD scrambled fighters against Russian bombers off the Alaska and northern California coasts reported DOD Buzz on June 12, 2014.
In response to the appearance of a fleet of Russian bombers off the Alaska and northern California coasts Northern Command scrambled two F-22 Raptor and two F-15 Eagle fighters. There were four long-range Tu-95 Bear bombers and a refueling aircraft among the Russian planes. The Russian planes briefly entered the U.S. Air Defense Identification Zone off Alaska. The ADIZ is recognized as extending about 200 miles off the coast while "sovereign airspace" is seen as extending 12 nautical miles from land. The Russian planes did not come near U.S. sovereign airspace.
Russian strategic bombers flew within 50 miles of California coast reports The Washington Free Beacon. U.S. air defense systems were triggered this week when four Russian strategic bombers conducted practice bombing runs near Alaska and California. Navy Captain Jeff Davis said these Russian incursions began Monday around 4:30 p.m. Pacific time at which time radar detected the four turbo-prop powered bombers approaching the U.S. air defense zone located near the far western Aleutian Islands. The Russian planes were intercepted over the Aleutians by two U.S. Air Force F-22 jets.
This bomber incursion is the most recent Russian nuclear saber-rattling since relations between Moscow and Washington began to worsen after Russia's military annexation of Ukraine's Crimea. Clearly, caution should be taken in dealing with the highly sensitive state of Russian relations with the United States at this time. A literal war between the two nuclear superpowers would clearly not be in anyone's best interests.

Well, having a tight ass is now not only officially considered probable cause, but apparently it also gives law enforcement a reason to unleash a series of rather brutal and questionable search tactics in the name of the War on Drugs.
What started out as a leisurely day of shopping at a Wal-Mart in Demming, New Mexico took a turn for the worse for David Eckert, who after pulling out of the store parking lot, found himself being pulled over by a Hidalgo County Sheriff's officer.
The officer informed Eckert that the motive behind the traffic stop was due to him not making a complete stop at a stop sign before leaving the parking lot. That is when Eckert was asked to step out of the car, when the officer reportedly noticed the man clenching his butt cheeks, perhaps, he suspected, in an attempt to conceal narcotics up his sphincter.
Back up was called -- and while Eckert was being detained by old Johnny Law, a local judge was signing a warrant for an anal cavity search.
Officers reportedly transported Eckert to a nearby emergency room, but the doctors there refused to conduct a search of the man's anus because they claimed it was an "unethical" practice. However, physicians at the Gila Regional Medical Center apparently did not subscribe to the same standards, admitting Eckert into the facility where they proceeded to run a gamut of tests that makes the thought of curious aliens armed with sharp objects sound appealing.
After doctors x-rayed Eckert's stomach, they found no evidence to suggest he had any narcotics stashed where the sun doesn't shine. Nevertheless, that did not stop several doctors from inspecting his anus with their fingers during two separate examinations. Again, no narcotics were found.
So, rather than let Eckert go with some shred of dignity, doctors decided to give him an enema and force him to drop an embarrassing load right in front of police officers and medical staff. After a poo search turned up no signs of narcotics, doctors administered yet another enema. Shockingly, no narcotics were discovered.
Still, even though Eckert couldn't possibly have anything left inside of him, much less an ass-stash of dope, physicians made the call to give the man a third enema just so they could feel confident that they were completely thorough. After, Eckert's final intestinal flushing, neither doctors nor law enforcement could find any reason to believe that he was smuggling drugs.
However, did they let him go? Nope.
Instead, doctors x-rayed Eckert's guts a second time, where they found absolutely nothing that resembled narcotics. So, again, rather than put Eckert through any more of their savage shitdigging tactics, physicians decided to take it up a notch by sedating him and jamming a camera up his poop chute -- administering a dreaded colonoscopy.
It is worth mentioning that throughout this entire chain of butt probing events; Eckert never once consented to the Hidalgo County Sherriff's Office's and Gila Regional witch doctor's mad-science sodomy.
Eckert has since filed a federal lawsuit against a myriad of defendants, including The City of Demming, New Mexico, several Demming police officers and Hildago County Sheriff's officers, the Deputy District Attorney, and two doctors from the Gila Regional Medical Center.
Eckert's attorney, Shannon Kennedy says that there are several discrepancies in the way the search warrant was carried out, including medical procedures being administered in a county not listed on the search warrant and the warrant expiring before the anal cavity search was initiated.
It should come as no surprise that Eckert is reportedly being billed for the twisted anal inquisition he received in custody at Gila Regional: "Plaintiff still receives medical bills for thousands of dollars for these illegal, invasive and painful medical procedures," according to the lawsuit.

"After seeing clones of Doom arriving on calculators a few years ago, the real game is finally arriving on them, specifically the TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS models," the video's description reads. "It's still in beta, though: As for now, the game runs for 20-60 seconds then freezes randomly. Some animated GIF captures can be found on the site. They look much clearer than in the video, but the framerate is much slower."
Doom was first released in 1993 by id Software. The series is widely considered to be a pioneer for the FPS genre. It introduced features such as 3D graphics, true 3D spatiality, networked multiplayer gameplay, and support for player-created expansions.

Kyle Richards and Lisa Vanderpump used to be close friends. However, after four seasons on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," things have changed between them.
In a new interview, Richards opened up about her friendship with Vanderpump.
"Right now we're OK. We're a work in progress," Richards told Haute Living, according to an Aug. 26 report by Wetpaint Entertainment. "There are a lot of feelings that have been hurt. In the past, I've felt that, and she's felt that. We have a lot of working through things, but we're OK."
Richards and Vanderpump's relationship first became strained during the third season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." By season four, things had gotten worse and Richards and Glanville were seen discussing Vanderpump's allegedly manipulative actions. The conversation didn't sit well with Vanderpump and became a main story line. Still, the women were able to put their differences aside during the show's hiatus and were soon seen at an event together.
As for the two new wives of the show, Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson, Richards knows them both.
"I've been friends with these two women [Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson]; one more than the other," Richards continued. "It's interesting to see because it's not easy for them coming into this environment with all of us that have gone through so much together."
Richards' comments come just one week after Radar Online reported there was "no drama" on the set of season five.
"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" season five premieres this fall on Bravo.

After a night launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis, the Shuttle docked with Mir at 03:55 GMT on January 14. STS-81 transferred 2,715 kg of equipment to and from the Mir, the largest transfer of items to that date. During the docked phase, 640 kg of water, 515 kg of U.S. science equipment, 1,000 kg of Russian logistics, and 120 kg of miscellaneous material were transferred to Mir. Returned to Earth aboard Atlantis were 570 kg of U.S. science material, 405 kg of Russian logistics and 98 kg of miscellaneous material. At 02:16 GMT January 19, Atlantis separated from Mir after picking up John Blaha, who had arrived aboard STS-79 on September 19, 1996, and dropping off Jerry Linenger, who was to stay aboard Mir for over four months. The Shuttle backed off along the -RBAR (i.e. toward the Earth) to a distance of 140 m before beginning a flyaround at 02:31 GMT. Most of the flyaround was at a distance from Mir of 170 m. The first 'orbit' around Mir was complete at 03:15, and the second was completed at 04:02 GMT. Then the Orbiter fired its jets to drift away from the orbit of Mir. NASA's first Shuttle mission of 1997 came to a close with a landing at the Kennedy Space Center at 14:22 GMT on January 22 (after the first opportunity was waved off due to cloud cover at the Cape).

Mission Highlights:
First Shuttle flight of 1997 highlighted by return of U.S. astronaut John Blaha to Earth after 118-day stay aboard Russian Space Station Mir and the largest transfer to date of logistics between the two spacecraft. Atlantis also returned carrying the first plants to complete a life cycle in space - a crop of wheat grown from seed to seed. This fifth of nine planned dockings continued Phase 1B of the NASA/Russian Space Agency cooperative effort, with Linenger becoming the third U.S. astronaut in succession to live on Mir. Same payload configuration flown on previous docking flight - featuring SPACEHAB Double module - flown again. Blaha joined Mir 22 crew of Commander Valeri Korzun and Flight Engineer Aleksandr Kaleri on Sept. 19, 1996, when he arrived there with the crew of STS-79. Linenger was to work with the Mir 22 crew until the arrival in February of the Mir 23 crew of Commander Vasili Tsibliev, Flight Engineer Aleksandr Lazutkin and German researcher Reinhold Ewald. Ewald was to return to Earth with the Mir 22 cosmonauts after a brief stay on the station. Astronaut Michael Foale will replace Linenger on Mir when the STS-84 mission arrives in May 1997.
Docking occurred at 10:55 p.m. EST, Jan. 14, followed by hatch opening at 12:57 a.m., Jan. 15. Linenger officially traded places at 4:45 a.m. with Blaha who spent 118 days on the station and 128 days total on-orbit. During five days of mated operations, crews transferred nearly 6,000 pounds (2,722 kilograms) of logistics to Mir, including around 1,600 pounds of water; around 1,138 pounds of U.S. science equipment; and 2,206 pounds of Russian logistical equipment. About 2,400 pounds of materials returned with Atlantis from Mir.
Crew also tested on Shuttle the Treadmill Vibration Isolation and Stabilization System (TVIS), designed for use in the Russian Service Module of the International Space Station. Another activity related to International Space Station involved firing the orbiter's small vernier jet thrusters during mated operations to gather engineering data.
Undocking occurred at 9:15 p.m. EST, Jan. 19, followed by flyaround of Mir.
No significant in-flight anomalies experienced with orbiter.
AKA: Atlantis.
First Launch: 1997.01.12.
Last Launch: 1997.01.22.
Duration: 10.21 days.
Radio traffic: If they stick to the same frequencies as in the past we can expect radio traffic on 121.750, 130.165 and 143.625 Mc. Extensive use of the American TDRS-s after the docking van be expected. Possibly the Russians will now and then use their (almost) geostationary satellites Altair-1 and 2. During the 4th docking mission (STS-79 in Sept. 1996, most communications took place via the American TDRS-s.

Atlantis separated from the Mir:
Atlantis undocked from the Mir on 20.01.1997 at 02.15.44 UTC. At 0357 UTC the engines of the Atlantis gave the separation burn for the ride home. After the undocking Atlantis remained in the free drift until the distance permitted firing of steering rockets. During the 2 flights of Atlantis around the Mir-complex no images have been transmitted from Mir. These had been recorded and transmitted to Earth later that day via Altair-1. Among them good images, for instance Atlantis flying away from under a Mir solar panel and several views of Atlantis moving away with a sight of the Earth in the background.
Soyuz-TM25: The next important operation will be the launch of Soyuz-TM25 from Baykonur on 10.02.1997 at 1409 UTC. Soyuz-TM25 will bring the 23d Main Expedition (Tsibliyev and Lazutkin) and the German astronaut Ewald to the Mir. (Stand-in crew: Musabayev, Budarin and Schlegel)

Final verdict: Stoudemire good or great?
After Amare Stoudemire headed off the court for the final time this season, he was asked about the possibilities of remaining a member of the Suns once this summer's free-agency smoke has cleared.
The signals were somewhat mixed.
He started by saying there was a "great" possibility that he would be back.
But he paused and finished the sentence with the word "good" instead of "great."
And then there is Stoudemire himself, who at times was a dominant, dunking dervish against the Lakers, and, at other times, was a passive presence.
So does he deserve "good" money this summer?
Or "great" money?
Considering the free-agent options at power forward this summer, economics clearly enter the equation.
Is Stoudemire worth $4 million more a season than Carlos Boozer?
Is he worth $10 million more than Udonis Haslem?
Is he worth as much as Chris Bosh?
As we've said many times in this space, Stoudemire is not a max player but nonetheless likely will be paid like one.
A team such as the Knicks has to pay someone, and if Bosh is off the table to New York, Amare likely gets max money there, if only because New York then can claim an upgrade over David Lee.
But with the Heat, it is different.
It already has Michael Beasley.
It certainly has the inside track on Haslem, if it chooses.
And it has a prospective addition in Boozer who clearly would undercut Stoudemire to land in a preferred destination.
The Heat, unlike other potential suitors, therefore has leverage when it comes to Stoudemire.
Fact is, the Suns and Knicks, and possibly Nets, need him more than the Heat.
So, no, the offer from the Heat should reach the max in terms of neither dollars nor years.
If Amare truly wants to land in South Florida, he can show it during negotiations.
Otherwise, the Heat has other chips it can play, chips that might provide better investments in terms of rebounds, post play and defense.
On the way out the door of 2009-10, Stoudemire said, "It's almost like fantasy basketball, trying to build a team and figure out how I can win a championship and with what team."
But it's not fantasy basketball at all. When it comes to the salary cap, every investment comes with real-life consequences.
Consequences that can impact a franchise for years to come.

Hungary Walks Tightrope on Corporate Taxes
Hungary's corporate tax policy remains a source of instability for companies doing business here. Hungary imposed extraordinary taxes unexpectedly and retroactively last year, hitting large firms in selected sectors. The government delivered them another blow last week by announcing it won't cut the corporate tax rate, contrary to earlier plans.
Hungary had mulled cutting the corporate tax rate to 10% from the current 19% as of Jan. 1 2013 for companies with annual revenue above 500 million forints ($2.7 million). The government already cut the rate to 10%, effective this year, for smaller firms whose annual revenue is below this amount.
International companies doing business in Hungary have already expressed their frustration with the tax policies of the current government, which has relied on the windfall levies to shore up state finances.
Firms from Germany, the largest source of foreign direct investment in Hungary, plan to discuss tax measures with the Hungarian government after the country's rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union ends in June, said Tamas Vahl, president of the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
"The government is very difficult to approach because of the EU presidency and due to the process of drawing up the [country's] new constitution," Mr. Vahl said, adding his organization wants to work with the cabinet to draft a tax system that would help the government's aim of establishing a sustainable budget and ensure a balanced share of tax burdens.
Last year, Hungary imposed temporary taxes, the so-called "crisis" taxes, on banks as well as retail, telecommunications and energy businesses to boost government revenue by about $2 billion a year. Many companies say they are worried about what will come next.
"We understand the motivations, but we want to see predictability in our environment. The measures were severe and came suddenly, increasing instability and how policy can be made here," said Christopher Mattheisen, chief executive of Magyar Telekom Nyrt., Hungary's largest telecommunications firm by market share, majority-owned by Deutsche Telekom AG.
The central bank said Wednesday in its annual report on financial stability that the bank tax, which the central bank saw as high even in an international comparison, is dampening growth as it holds back lending.
"Partly due to the extra taxes, the general business outlook is uncertain, which abates investments," central bank governor Andras Simor said after Monday's interest rate meeting. "Investments and consumption are being depressed by the very limited lending activity of the banking sector," Mr. Simor added.
Urged by industry groups, the European Union is investigating whether the Hungarian levies violate the 27-nation group's rules. During Hungarian President Pal Schmitt's visit to Germany March 17, Chancellor Angela Merkel said she understood the motivation behind imposing the extraordinary taxes, but considered them "unfortunate," according to Mr. Schmitt's account of the event. Ms. Merkel reportedly said the tax is acceptable temporarily, but warned it could cause more harm than good in the longer run.
Meanwhile, the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orban has given mixed signals about how long the special taxes will stay in place and whether additional industries could also be affected. State secretary in charge of strategic planning at the economic ministry, Zoltan Csefalvay, said Tuesday night that the government will abolish the sector-specific taxes completely Jan. 1, 2013, in line with Hungary's euro convergence program submitted to Brussels last week.
Development Minister Tamas Fellegi said at a conference earlier, however, that "some form of extra taxation will remain in place" after the current crisis taxes expire. He said the government doesn't "intend to hurt competitiveness."
Indeed, government revenue projections issued with its 2011 budget bill show that it is expecting special taxes on industry to continue to bring in about half the level of funds coming from the current crisis taxes now. But the convergence plan doesn't include those any longer.
"Maybe it's too much to call it a gamble, but the key thing is growth. There's a risk that if growth doesn't kick in [while] the constitution stipulates the debt-cutting measures, maybe one-off [tax] measures will have to be implemented because of the [new] constitution," Mr. Mattheisen said at a dinner hosted by the Budapest Business Journal Tuesday for businessmen, also attended by Mr. Csefalvay.
The government is between a rock and a hard place. It didn't sign the EU's treaty on harmonizing economic policy as it wants to boost Hungary's competitiveness with lower taxes than elsewhere in Europe. At the same time, Hungary is under pressure to reduce the budget deficit this year and keep it below 3% of gross domestic product to escape the European Union's Excessive Deficit Procedure, while the government's top economic goal is to accelerate growth. Without meeting its budget deficit target, the government would also risk failing to meet the stipulation of the new constitution that public debt must be reduced each year until it's under a certain ceiling.
"Predictability is of key importance for Hungary, too, if it is to remain competitive with neighboring countries in the struggle for investors," said Laszlo Kerekes, head of chemical company AkzoNobel's operations in Hungary and chairman of the Hungarian European Business Council.
Getting rid of the extraordinary corporate taxes could help the government boost employment, another of its main economic goals, and reduce pressure on inflation as companies may opt for passing the extra tax bill on to consumers. Otherwise, it may even risk that companies already here will start to look for the exit.
"We will complete investments that we've started, but there's a mistrustful atmosphere…toward Hungary," said an energy company executive who spoke on condition that neither he nor his company be named. He said his company likely would look for projects in neighboring countries instead.

Many people know about a famous chapter in the Bible listing "Heroes of Faith." Hebrews chapter 11 has been called the Faith Chapter. God highlighted certain men and women by name because they based their lives on faith in His promises, not on what they saw, felt, or experienced (vs. 1-2, 7, 8, 9-11, 39). The chapter repeatedly says they lived for eternity not earth (vs. 10, 13-14, 16, 24-27, 35). And yet most of them were seriously flawed.
Noah got drunk. Abraham lied about his wife. Twice. Sarah laughed at what God said. Isaac tried to give God's covenant blessing to the wrong son. Jacob was deceitful. Moses hated public speaking and had an anger problem. Rahab was a prostitute.
As for the Judges, Gideon was afraid and asked for proof. Then he got greedy and asked people to give him gold, which he made into a false ephod. It became an idol for Israel to worship. Barak refused to obey God unless Deborah helped him. Jepthah made a rash vow that jeopardized his daughter, involving a sacrifice of her hope for marriage or possibly even her life. Then he started a civil war and defeated his brothers, the tribe of Ephraim. Samson was a womanizer and broke his Nazarite vow. Why would these four judges even be mentioned in the faith chapter when they did such egregious things? Out of fifteen judges named in the book of Judges, only these four called on God or spoke to the Lord God. Prayer made the difference.
Hebrews 11 also cites David who had an affair with a married woman and had her husband murdered as a cover-up. Definitely an impeachable crime. Yet even Acts 13:22 calls David "a man after God's own heart." What made the difference? David confessed his sins and humbled himself before God. He wrote several emotional Psalms about repentance and forgiveness (Psalm 25, 31, 38, 51).
Looking at other Bible people, Adam and Eve lived in a perfect environment and had conversations with God, but they chose to obey Satan instead of God and got evicted from their home. Judah slept with his daughter-in-law thinking she was a prostitute. Aaron built a golden calf for the people to worship. Miriam was critical. Naomi was bitter. Job demanded that God answer to him. Eli was obese and a bad parent. Solomon married a harem full of women who turned his heart away from God. Elijah was suicidal. Jonah ran away from God, and Isaiah preached naked for three years (Isaiah. 20-perhaps wearing only his undergarment).
With a little tongue-in-cheek, it could be said that Joseph was a pampered child whom his siblings abused. He later spent time in prison. Samuel was in foster care from an early age. Jeremiah was depressed. John the Baptist was antisocial. The Samaritan woman had loose morals (divorced five times and living with another man). Zaccheus was too short. Martha worried too much. The disciples fell asleep while praying. Peter cussed and denied knowing Christ. Paul had a disability and argued with other Christians. And Lazarus was dead. Yet God used them all to do His will. They wrote Scripture, preached sermons, and spread the Good News of Christ the Messiah to the then-known world.
Anyone who thinks he or she needs to be worthy in order to serve God is seriously mistaken. God specializes in using failures! He can't use people who are strong in themselves. His grace is perfected through human weakness (1 Corinthians 1:18-31; 2 Corinthians 12:7-10). That way the glory goes to God not to someone's resourcefulness, wisdom, or accomplishments.
In fact, as Hebrews 11 points out, God has only one requirement for His children—faith. "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" (vs. 1). "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him" (vs. 6). Like Sarah, those who want to please God must "consider Him faithful who had made the promise" (vs. 11).
When they mess up they confess it (1 John 1:9) knowing that God is a forgiving God, a God of multiple second chances. The Bible teaches that people don't need to try to be perfect; they need to be forgiven. God's "heroes" know that their destiny is not dependent on their faithfulness in doing the best they can, but on God's faithfulness to keep His promises. Every one of us can put our faith in that.

Los Angeles (E! Online) - All things must pass, including George Harrison's music to iTunes.
On Tuesday, Harrison's solo work finally became available on the world's most popular digital download service, meaning all four former Fabs' post-Beatles oeuvres are now represented.
Nine of Harrison's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-worthy albums can be purchased, from his landmark 1970 double-disc All Things Must Pass to 2002's posthumously released Brainwashed.
The latter, Grammy-winning collection was released months after Harrison succumbed to cancer in 2001 at age 58.
Harrison's entire catalog has been digitally remastered, and the tracks will be available in DRM-free format for $1.29 each. Some of the albums, including George Harrison, Somewhere in England and Living in the Material World, feature bonus songs.
"It is exciting that George's catalog is finally available for downloading. He had begun the digital remastering of his albums but had no idea how the digital world would change the way we access and listen to music," his widow, Olivia, said in a statement.
Harrison's catalog was the last of the Beatles' to migrate to iTunes; before Tuesday, only his Traveling Wilburys music was on the iPod-populating site.
A year ago, Harrison's and John Lennon's solo work was cleared for release on all major digital distributors except Apple's iTunes-the computer company was embroiled in a legal battle with the Beatles' Apple Corps at the time. With that spat resolved, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr came aboard earlier this year, followed by Lennon's camp in August.
Now the countdown is on for the Beatles.
Both McCartney and the band's record company, EMI, have confirmed that the entire Beatles catalog is getting digitally remastered for online sale. Sources say the Beatles' tracks could be available on iTunes by the end of the year, although the launch may be pushed back to early 2008.
Meanwhile, the iTunes news comes just two weeks after Martin Scorsese announced he was working on a biopic of Harrison that would feature interviews with his bandmates and some rare material from his archives.

According to Hypable on April 7, at the St. Louis Wizard World Comic Con, "Castle's" Nathan Fillion made his appearance. He showed up at a mini "Firefly" reunion with this cohorts Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk where they talked about old times, jokes they played on each other on the set, and more.
Unexpectedly when a fan asked if he was going to appear in James Gunn's "Guardians of the Galaxy", Fillion had this to say:
"Wanting to get a part… or maybe did. "I'm just saying maybe. Maybe you'll be surprised. Maybe. Check the credits".
The crowd of fans went wild at Fillians tease and the avid tweeting Gunn responded on his Twitter account as a result:
"There is a cat running around my office let out of his respective bag. I have a feeling @NathanFillion has been in here".
The convention in St. Louis also had guest stars such as "Batman's" Adam West and Burt Ward, "Doctor Who's" Karen Gillan and Matt Smith, as well as "Lord of the Ring's" Sean Astin. Notably Gillan will also be appearing as Nebula in Gunn's Marvel Studios film and will be pairing off with Gamora portrayed by Zoe Saldana.
That being said, "Guardians of the Galaxy" appears in theaters Aug. 1.

Junior Cam Freeman
March 7, 2010
East Carolina 5, Western Carolina 4 (PDF)
GREENVILLE, N.C. -Cam Freeman's two-run home run in the eighth inning coupled with a strong pitching performance from Seth Maness helped No. 11 East Carolina to a 5-4 win over in-state foe West Carolina Sunday afternoon in the Seventh Annual Keith LeClair Classic at Lewis Field inside Clark-LeClair Stadium.
Trailing 2-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, ECU (7-3) got back-to-back home runs from Devin Harris and Zach Wright to take a 3-2 lead and really never looked back.
Maness (1-2), who was pitching on Sunday due to an ankle injury suffered last week against South Carolina, allowed two runs (both earned) on eight hits and struck out a season-best seven batters. After giving up two runs in the third, Maness retired nine of the next 10 hitters to record his first win of the season. Junior Seth Simmons notched his third save of the season working the final 1.2 frames where he allowed two runs on two hits to hold off a Catamount (8-2) late rally.
Vance Chavis (2-1) suffered his first loss of the year after allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits in 6.2 innings. The left-hander struck out five batters and walked two before being lifted for Andrew Chilcoat (0.1 IP, 1 H, 1 R). Mat bats (0.1 IP) and Brandon Johnson (0.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R) pitched the final inning of the contest.
Wright's sac fly to center scored Harris from third to give the Pirates an early 1-0 lead in the second inning. Harris laced a one-out double down the right field line then took third on a failed pickoff by Western's catcher before trotting home for the games first run.
The Catamounts answered with a pair of runs in the top half of the third to take a 2-1 lead. Consecutive one-out base knocks by Dylan de Graaf (single) and Austin Shultz (double) tied the game at one before Shultz touched home on Tyler White's RBI single to left.
Freeman smacked his second home run of the season in the eighth to extend ECU's lead to three, 5-2. Corey Thompson doubled to right field to start the frame and scored when Freeman hit a towering shot to left center with one out on a 0-1 offering.
The Catamounts plated a pair of runs in the ninth before Simmons got de Graaf to fly out to right field for the Pirates fifth straight win. Radley Haddad and Tyler Kirkpatrick drew consecutive walks before pinch hitter Cory Cronan laced a double to right field scoring Haddad and advancing Kirkpatrick to third, who would come home on Western's next at-bat, a sac fly to center from Trevor Collias.
ECU will be back in action next week when they travel to California for a midweek matchup with Cal State Northridge and a three-game series with Pepperdine.

Wilcox's Robust Statistics: A new R package
[Update Aug 2013: For a fail safe installation routine, see this up-to-date post: Installation of the WRS package]
Recently I started to build a new package for R containing Wilcox' collection of functions for robust statistics.
Wilcox provides 700+ functions for robust statistics, including:
- robust correlations (e.g. percentage bend correlation)
- robust measures of location and mean differences (e.g. Yuen's test, trimmed mean test with bootstrapping)
- bootstrapping routines for many indices. Using bootstrapping, asymmetric and non-parametric confidence intervals can be calculated
- etc …
I've simply put Wilcox' functions into a package, so that the environment isn't cluttered with 700+ functions. I also started to add some help functions (but until now there are really few).
The package is hosted on R-Forge. You can install the package directly in R by typing:
11 Responses to "Wilcox's Robust Statistics: A new R package"
Thank you for your work Felix!
Could you let me know if you were using the 2nd or 3rd edition of Wilcox' book?
I have just recently started using the script, but found the TBS and RMBA estimators not to work in the out function.
Anyways, thank you for your effort!
Kind Regards,
Hi Felix,
All the best for the new year!
I see that all the estimators listed in the out help file are now working with the latest release, except for the TBS estimator (cov.roc)
The way I am using the command is as follows:
> library(WRS)
Loading required package: MASS
Loading required package: akima
Loading required package: robustbase
Attaching package: 'WRS'
The following object(s) are masked from 'package:robustbase':
The following object(s) are masked from 'package:stats':
The following object(s) are masked from 'package:grDevices':
> out(SOC.listwise, cov.fun = cov.roc, plotit= T)
Error in out(SOC.listwise, cov.fun = cov.roc, plotit = T) :
object 'cov.roc' not found
Kind Regards,
Hi Felix,
Thank you for your feedback. I can confirm that it works now on my side as well 😉
Please convey my thanks to Rand as well.
Kind Regards,

Dear Felix!
When I try to install the package WRS using following command:
install.packages("WRS", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
I get following message:
Installing package into 'C:/Users/Iris/Documents/R/win-library/3.0'
(as 'lib' is unspecified)
package 'WRS' is available as a source package but not as a binary
Warning message:
package 'WRS' is not available (for R version 3.0.0)
Would I need to use a different version of R to run the package?
Thank you and kind regards,
Dear Felix,
I have the same problem as Iris on the 10th of April had (WRS package not available for R 3.0.1). I've had this problem three days in a row… I have installed all three required packages without trouble.
Can you help me?
Kind regards

Last year's event was huge and a lot of fun. I remember closing it out at the Green Pig in a loud room full of Santas in full regalia, trying to talk with Babs DeLay about something or other. (Confidential to Marms: Sorry we left you behind buddy.) Never leave a Santa behind.
Crawl Santa Crawl: Santa Pub Crawl on Dec. 17
Dec 14th 2010
This Friday night (Dec. 17, 2010) the Santa Pub crawl kicks off at 6:30 in a bar (probably O'Shucks) downtown (look for the Santas) It's pretty simple:, dress as intensely like Santa or one of his helpers and run around town to different bars. But seriously, don't just slap on a crappy Santa Cap from the party store. You need a suit, boots, belts, bowl-full-of-jelly belly. The organizers (who are a mysterious bunch) try to help you along from location to location by ringing a bell and shouting but by the time you hit Cheers To You, you can expect to be strung out on a trail of Santas all up and down Main Street.
