When we heard about this new 3D casino with all these neat features we thought it was going to be a really heavy software to that would take ages to download and run really slow on our computer but when they actually launched we were pleasantly surprised to see that we didn't even have to download any software, it was all available in our browser as long as we had the latest version of flash installed. Obviously there is also a version of the casino that is available for download for those of us who wants to have this online casino available to us on the computer at all times. I always prefer the downloadable versions when it comes to playing at online casinos as it feels more stable and it runs smoother, but it is always nice to have the option of playing directly in the browser as well.

Buzzluck is really the first 3D online casino of its kind and we really recommend trying it out for the entertainment value alone. The Buzzluck slogan is "Never Bored" and after trying out this 3D online casino we really understand where that slogan is coming from.
UPDATE: The Buzzluck Casino closed their doors in March 2010 and they no longer accept any new players. If you are looking for the best real money casinos or online poker for real money then we recommend trying out Chili Poker or WinPalace Casino as they are perfect replacements for Buzzluck Casino players.

Basilar-Type Migraine – The Basics
If you've heard of this form of Migraine before, you've probably heard or seen the term Basilar Artery Migraine (BAM). Under the International Headache Society's International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition, the new designation for this form of Migraine is basilar-type Migraine (BTM). It has also been called Bickerstaff syndrome, brainstem Migraine, and vertebrobasilar Migraine. The term basilar-type Migraine is actually a bit misleading as it implies that the Migraine attack is vascular in origin. It was actually termed basilar because it was first believed to be a result of spasm of the basilar artery and the subsequent ischemia. Since the time when the term basilar came into use, however, it has been shown that Migraine is a genetic neurological disease, and BTM, as other types of Migraine are neural in origin. As with all Migraine, there is a vascular component once the Migraine begins, but the origin is neurological. Early literature on the subject suggested that BTM was most common in adolescent females. However, continued research and statistical analysis has shown BTM to affect all age groups and both male and female. BTM does exhibit the same female predominance seen overall in Migraine; three times as many female sufferers as male.
A basilar-type Migraine is a Migraine that has aura symptoms originating from the brainstem and/or affecting both hemispheres of the brain at the same time, but with no motor weakness. The aura of BTM usually lasts less than 60 minutes, but in some cases can be more extended. Many Migraineurs who have BTM also report Migraine with typical aura. The aura of BTM can include temporary blindness, which is one reason they can be quite terrifying. However, BTM is actually essentially Migraine with aura with the aura localized to the brainstem. Still, because of that localization, Migraine-specific medications such as the triptans and ergotamines are contraindicated for BTM. Of the preventive medications, it's recommended that beta blockers be avoided in cases of BTM. Because of the medication contraindications, I highly recommend that Migraineurs who experience BTM wear some kind of medical identification at all times. Diagnosis of BTM requires at least two attacks meeting the following criteria:
Aura consisting of at least two of the following fully reversible symptoms, but
motor weakness:
dysarthria (impairments or clumsiness in the speaking of words due to diseases that affect the oral, lingual, or pharyngeal muscles)
vertigo (feeling of spinning)
hypacusia (impaired hearing)
diplopia (double vision)
visual symptoms simultaneously in both temporal (at the temples) and nasal fields of both eyes
decreased level of consciousness
simultaneously bilateral paresthesias (abnormal or unpleasant sensation often described as numbness or as a prickly, stinging, or burning feeling)
At least one of the following:
at least one aura symptom develops gradually over five or more minutes and/or different aura symptoms occur in succession over five or more minutes
each aura symptom lasts five or more and 60 minutes or less
Migraine experts caution that when there is motor weakness, great care be taken to arrive at the proper diagnosis as there are times when it can be difficult to differentiate between basilar-type Migraine and hemiplegic Migraine. The IHS criteria also note that if motor weakness is present, the disorder should be coded as familial hemiplegic or sporadic hemiplegic Migraine. Another reason great care must be taken in diagnosis is that many of the symptoms of BTM are also stroke symptoms.
Basilar-Type Migraine presents symptoms that can mimic other, far more serious conditions. It is essential that the diagnosis be definitive and correct. An imaging study such as a CT scan or MRI should be performed to rule out other causes for the symptoms, and an EEG is often performed to rule out seizure disorders. If the doctor making the diagnosis is hesitant about it, definitely seek a second opinion from another doctor. Since BTM is not common, seeing a Migraine specialist is advisable when possible. It is also important to continue medical treatment as advised by your doctor and not skip follow-up appointments. Some other conditions that should be ruled out in diagnosing BTM are:
seizure disorders
space-occupying lesions of the brain
brainstem Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM): a congenital defect consisting of a tangle of abnormal arteries and veins with no capillaries in between. The blood pressure in the veins is higher than normal and may result in a rupture of the vein and bleeding into the brain
vertebrobasilar disease
As with other forms of Migraine, BTM can be disabling. Because of the neurological symptoms that can occur during basilar-type Migraine aura, it can present a larger hurdle than Migraine with aura because the aura itself is debilitating and can last longer. This can mean special problems for people in the traditional work force or trying to care for young children. If they are in an environment where others are not educated about Migraine disease, it is particularly important that efforts be made to educate those around them.
Basilar-Type Migraine is one of the most frightening of head pain disorders, but the symptoms are
more frightening than harmful.
, as with other forms of Migraine, if the pain is extreme, it is best to seek emergency care. BTM does increase the risk of stroke slightly more than Migraine with aura and Migraine without aura, so additional care should be taken. Once diagnosed with BTM, it is important (as with any form of Migraine) to consult your doctor if your symptoms or Migraine pattern change. Without consulting a doctor, it's impossible to be sure that new symptoms or changes in pattern are attributable to BTM, and that no other condition is present. While BTM isn't cause to panic, it is more than reason to be sensible and take good care of yourself.

A day after the city was stunned to lose in its bid to host an unprecedented 11th Super Bowl, the feeling during the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District meeting on Wednesday was still that of disappointment.
The tone of the monthly meeting would have likely more upbeat had New Orleans won the right to host the 2018 Super Bowl at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to kick off the city's 300th anniversary, but instead the meeting was business as usual.
A contingency of civic leaders and New Orleans Saints brass went to Atlanta on Tuesday to make their case during the NFL owners meetings.
"Our team did a great job with the presentation," SMG vice president Doug Thornton said to start Wednesday's meeting. "We'll have an opportunity in the future I'm sure to get back into the game."
The overriding sentiment seems to be that losing the bid was not about what the city didn't do its presentation to win the owners over and more about the reality Minneapolis is being rewarded because the city the team is building a new billion dollar domed stadium that will be ready for the Super Bowl in 2018.
"The thing I know from being at those events is how respected Louisiana and the Superdome and the staff is," said LSED chairman Ron Forman, who was part of the contingency that went to Atlanta for the formal presentation. "There is no question we made the best presentation, we are the best destination by far. We have triple the number of hotel rooms within walking distance, we have the finest restaurants indistance that no one can match like us.
"We've got the team but it's hard to compete against a city that's building a billion-dollar stadium. If you look at the history, anytime a city builds a new stadium they get a Super Bowl. It seems to be part of the agreement with the other owners."
Thornton said losing the bid in the three-city race, which also included Indianapolis, wasn't a surprise but more of a disappointment. New Orleans, which has hosted a record-tying 10 Super Bowls, lost its first bid ever for the NFL's signature event.
"I think everybody realized that there were two formidable cities," said Thornton, whose company runs the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. "Indianapolis did a great job in 2012 hosting their event and Minneapolis with the new stadium and great community support and great leadership from their governor and civic leaders stepped up and put forth a very formidable proposal.
"You've got to continue to earn you way."
Thornton rejected any notion it is time for the city to look at ways to improve in order to be in better position the next time the NFL invites the city to bid to host a Super Bowl.
The Mercedes-Benz Superdome, while it has undergone major renovations, is older than most NFL venues and certainly doesn't offer the bells and whistles of many of the new stadiums across the country. Still, Thornton points to all New Orleans has to offer when it comes to available hotel rooms in Downtown, the outstanding hospitality infrastructure that includes the Convention and Visitors Bureau and Sports Foundation.
In 2012, the city pulled off a largely successful Super Bowl, which gave many the confidence New Orleans would be rewarded again with the 2018 bid.
"Just a year ago when the NFL was here they were praising the Superdome, they were praising the fact it was brand new inside of the old shell, with the $350 million renovation they couldn't believe how nice it is," Thornton said. "It's not about the facilities, it's not about the infrastructure, it's not about the host organization and it's not about the bid as much as it's about other cities getting into the game, other cities having new stadiums, other cities who are being invited to bid being very competitive.
"It's not about anything we did or didn't do. The last four or five years we have had an unprecedented run of events and we've been very fortunate to do that at the expense of other cities."
Forman praised the city and civic leaders for their support but he also made a special mention of Saints owner Tom Benson, who recently had a surgery but still made the flight to Atlanta to make the presentation to the owners on behalf of the city.
Benson, of course, fell and hit his head during the meetings on Tuesday and was briefly hospitalized in Atlanta after making his presentation.
"He insisted on making the pitch for New Orleans to host the Super Bowl," Forman said. "He went there feeling poorly, had an accident while he was there, fell over and hit his head. That is going beyond the call of duty.
"It think it speaks to what we are, who we are. I couldn't be more proud of what happened."

College Hockey:Union's Penalty Kill Saves Win
Back-to-back Five Minute Majors Test Beleagured Unit
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — The last thing Union's beleagured penalty-killing unit needed was to kill off two consecutive five-minute major penalties early in the third period of Friday's game against Princeton.
The Dutchmen, who had a 4-2 lead at the time, killed off just 73.4 percent of opponents' power plays entering the game. They had already given up two second-period power-play tallies to the Tigers. The situation didn't look good.
But the Dutchmen's penalty kill came through at the right time. They stopped the Tigers on the two majors, and then scored a five-on-three goal of their own later in the period to take a 6-2 ECACHL win at Messa Rink. Consecutive hitting from behind majors to defensemen Lane Caffaro and Bryan Campbell in the first 3:46 of the third put the Dutchmen in a bind, including a 2:06 span of five-on-three play.
"Basically, the game was on the line," said forward Jason Visser, who helped kill off the penalties. "I feel like everybody who was on the penalty kill had confidence, and we knew we were going to kill it."
The Dutchmen (1-2 ECACHL, 4-4-1 overall), who had killed a five-on-three early in the first period, remained tough. They held the Tigers to four shots on goal during the majors. Union even drew a penalty during the second major, eliminating two minutes of power play time.
"It was a big step up by our guys," said defenseman Sean Streich, who was another key player on the kill. "Yeah, our kill has been on and off. But it was big when it counted. In the third period, everyone sacrificed themselves, and we got the job done."
Limiting Princeton's chances to shoot proved to be the difference.
"The key is staying in shot lanes, and blocking those shots," Union coach Nate Leman said. "You have to make them move the puck one station at a time. If they can move it better than one station at a time, meaning if they can hit seams, then you're in trouble. You get running around.
"But if you're in the shot lane, and you force them to move the puck one station at a time, it's a lot easier for your goalie. He can track the shot."
Princeton coach Guy Gadowsky praised Union's effort.
"That was our opportunity to get back in the ballgame," Gadowsky said. "I don't think we were hungry enough to get pucks on net, but they did an excellent job of killing it."
Inspired by the kill, the Dutchmen put the game away. Visser scored at 10:35 to make it 5-2. Josh Coyle, who assisted on Visser's score, added his second goal of the game 2:47 later, during a two-man advantage, to make it a four-goal lead.
"The penalty kill was huge," said Coyle, who has a point in every game this season. "It gave our whole team a lift."

Drastic changes in working scenario have resulted in changes in movie theaters resulting in birth of multiplex with multiple screens normally three or more. These multiplex are found in specially designed malls or buildings.
PVR Cinemas or Priya Village Roadshow is one of the most prominent cinema chains in India. This Cinema chain came into existence as a joint venture between Village Road Show Limited and Priya Exhibitors Private Limited in the year 1995. The stake was in a ratio of 40:60.

With the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil starting today, Footyblog.net assess the lead candidates for the Golden Boot at this summer's finals.
Luis Suarez – Uruguay (Odds: 20/1)
The Uruguayan's form for Liverpool last season is not something that needs mentioning. At times he was unplayable finishing the season as the Premier League's top scorer with 31 goals, despite missing the first six games. Much will depend on the fate of his country, who have been drawn in a tough group alongside England and Italy. If they can get through that then who knows, Uruguay may be able to emulate their 2010 run to the semi-final, for which Suarez will be remembered most for the infamous hand ball, of the World Cup and if they do, Suarez would be odds on to score a hat-full of goals.
Neymar (Odds: 10/1)
Can Neymar set the world on fire in his first World Cup on home soil? If the 22-year-old Barcelona striker can replicate his form from last summer's Confederations Cup then certainly so. Neymar scored some fantastic goals as Brazil romped to victory. Brazil will expect to go far in their home tournament and therefore Neymar, with his flair and skill, will have a good chance as he spearheads their attack.
Ronaldo (Odds: 14/1)
How can you rule out the best player in the world? Ronaldo has come good time and time again for Portugal, none so more evident as he single hand-idly dragged them through the World Cup play-offs against Sweeden, scoring a hat-trick. Ronaldo has it all. A set piece master, clinical finisher and dominant in the air, Ronaldo has all the attributes to score plenty of goals at this summer's finals as he tries to join the list of football's immortals.
Lionel Messi (Odds: 15/2)
See Ronaldo. By his own standards, Messi hasn't had his best season in a Barcelona shirt, but everyone knows his qualities. The little Argentinian is a magician on the ball and is without doubt one of the greatest of all time. Messi will be the key man for Argentina, another team with big expectations going into the World Cup and with the attacking flair in the squad, Messi will be guaranteed to have plenty of chances to score.
Diego Costa (16/1)
Costa has really announced himself on the world scene this year, notching 36 goals in all competitions at Atletico Madrid won La Liga and reached the final of the Champions League. Born in Brazil, and making two appearances for the national side, Costa has opted to represent Spain, the current World Champions. Costa is likely to start for Spain and with the creative flair behind him with the likes of Xavi, Iniesta and co, the 25-year-old, heavily linked with Chelsea, could compete for the Golden Boot.
Wayne Rooney (50/1)
An outside shot, admittedly, but can Wayne Rooney finally realise his potential on the worldwide stage. The Manchester United striker has come under criticism in recent months and has had his place in the England starting line-up doubted so wouldn't it be fitting for the 28-year-old, whose first major tournament was 10 years ago, to silent those doubters and score a few goals. Rooney scored key goals in qualifying as well as a belter against Brazil 12 months ago in the stadium where the final will be held.
Selected others:
- Fernando Torres (40/1)
- Romelu Lukaku (25/1)
- Karim Benzema (25/1)
- Mario Balotelli (33/1)
All odds are in association with Bet365.

Reproach with back against the wall
Violate the bride
Placed under the spotlight
Exposed to degrading things
Come thief, make your sway
Forced to bud before their time
Displayed in pomp before their lusting eyes
Through no fault of their own
Father, husband, son
Cling to her waist
Her beauty emanates in brevity
Tonight the petals begin to fade
Exposed in their shame
Thrown out, left to decay
Through no fault of their own
Abandoned by those who made them into what they are

Company is sitting on a mountain of cash, the divvy should be safe, no? At today's price, you get 7% from BX...There must be some good aspect to this ridiculous swoon.
Looks like we are close to even today. Hopefully this is the day that the punishmnet stops. Granted I would not mind if it stays down until I get some Dividends into my account to buy more.
You miss the point.....they have a MOUNTAIN of DEBT.....10x greater than their cash!
Not so - the Yahoo! numbers might be technically correct on a balance sheet but are not economically correct with respect to a share/unit of BX.The Yahoo! numbers include 9+ billion in "Loans Payable" which are related to CLO's and other investment vehicles owned/managed by the firm, and such debt is non-recourse relative to BX - the investments will either win or lose, but BX doesn't owe the 9B. (It would be like saying that you have $1billion in debt personally because you own a share/unit of BX).From the latest press release:CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY As of March 31, 2012, Blackstone had $1.1 billion in cash, Treasury cash management strategies and liquid Blackstone funds. Long-term debt totaled $1.0 billion in borrowings from the 2010 and 2009 bond issuances. Blackstone has no borrowings outstanding against its $1 billion revolving credit facility, which expires in April 2016. BX is actually very (very) conservatively managed itself, but manages leveraged investments for others.

Until just a few years ago, Joe Goode considered himself a "puppetphobe." "Puppets seemed like children's theater," says the innovative choreographer. "The cuteness factor was a bit too much for me."
Now, however, a puppet plays the lead role in his latest dance-theater piece, Wonderboy, to be performed this weekend at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center.
Goode, 58, gives credit to New York puppeteer extraordinaire Basil Twist for provoking his "conversion experience." Twist's puppets "are so lively and vulnerable and creative. They made me feel something," says Goode. His company's six dancers physically manipulate and interact with the titular three-and-a-half foot puppet, which Goode describes as "a pre-adolescent child, a queer child too sensitive, too afraid. He slowly begins to realize his own sensitivity is not a liability but an asset."
Goode discovered his own asset as a dancer when he was just a queer, sensitive pre-adolescent boy following his older sister to dance school in Hampton, Va. He switched to theater after moving to New York, because he wasn't sure there was a future for him in dance. "How can I change the world in tights as a prince?"
The answer came after he followed his sister once more, this time to San Francisco. Goode started his eponymous group there in 1986, as a means to combine his disparate background, and also themes of gay liberation and activism.
Wonderboy, which features original music by Carla Kihlstedt and Matthias Bossi, took two years to develop. "This show is very touching and really sweet, and it ends on a really joyous note," says Goode. "People really respond to it."
He adds: "My work is unlike anyone else's, with dancing and talking and now puppetry."
The Joe Goode Performance Group performs Friday, May 1, and Saturday, May 2, at 8 p.m. at Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center's Ina and Jack Kay Theatre, University of Maryland, University Boulevard & Stadium Drive, College Park. Tickets are $35. Call 301-405-ARTS or visit www.claricesmithcenter.umd.edu.

The Tempest
by William Shakespeare
The Tempest Act 1, Scene 2 Summary
- The action moves to an island, where we meet Prospero and his daughter, Miranda. If you read the "Names of the Actors," you know that Prospero is the "rightful Duke of Milan, usurped by his brother Antonio." If you didn't know this key piece of information, Prospero just seems to be an average old guy stranded with his daughter on a deserted island.
- Miranda saw the ship sink and asks her father if he created the storm, cluing us in to the fact that Prospero has powerful magic, which they both call "art." Prospero doesn't deny he made the tempest, but instead says there was no harm done. He assures his daughter that everyone from the ship is safe, and that he only did it for her (which she'll learn more about later).
- Prospero says the storm is a good occasion for him to reveal their family secret to her, which he's often started telling her but never finished. He promises to finish this time.
- He asks if she remembers a time before they were on the island, and she says yes. This surprises Prospero, because she was only three years old then, but she clearly remembers that she used to have four or five women that took care of her. Miranda doesn't remember how she and her father came to the island, so Prospero tells her the long story, which we now sum up for you:
- Twelve years ago, Miranda was a princess and her father was the Duke of Milan. Miranda is shocked to hear the news, and asks if Prospero isn't really her father. Prospero replies that, to the best of his knowledge, he was the only one sleeping with Miranda's mother. So yes, Prospero was a Duke and Miranda a princess. (Hmm. Didn't Perdita learn something similar about herself in The Winter's Tale?)
- Miranda asks whether a blessing or curse brought them to the island. Prospero says it was both.
- The story that follows is long, and Prospero keeps poking Miranda to stay awake (imagine we're doing the same to you, except in a non-weird, non-Facebook way).
- Basically, the story goes like this: Prospero has a brother, Antonio, whom he used to love and trust. Prospero was devoted to the study of magic. He trusted his brother so much that he let him run the affairs of state while Prospero closeted himself away in his library.
- Antonio, meanwhile, was busy learning how to run Milan, but also making all the right friends in all the right places. Eventually, he took advantage of Prospero's trust and, by sucking up constantly with tributes and compliments to the King of Naples. Antonio managed to get the King to give him his brother's title as Duke of Milan.
- Hmm. Now, where have we seen an evil, usurping brother before? Oh, yeah, in Hamlet, where Claudius kills his brother and then takes his crown and his wife.
- Antonio then sent an army at midnight, under the cover of darkness, to force Prospero and baby Miranda out of Milan. They weren't killed because Prospero was so well-loved by his people. Prospero and the baby were banished to sea on a used '83 Chevy Impala of a ship, which "even the rats left instinctively."
- While on their rickety boat, the duo faced a terrible storm. Miranda, far from being trouble, gave Prospero the strength to continue on. Finally they washed ashore onto their present island. They survived because Gonzalo (the same guy from the first scene) was so kind; before leaving, he gave them food and water, fine clothes, and also Prospero's books. Prospero was able to use his small library to educate Miranda for the last twelve years, affording her a better education than most princesses, who generally spend their time combing golden locks and looking out of windows.
- Finally, Prospero explains the reason he created the recent storm: his enemies, the ones from all those years ago, were on the ship. According to the stars, now is the moment of Prospero's good fortune, but his power depends on good timing.
- Prospero then lulls Miranda to sleep with art (not boring postmodern art—magic art) and calls his servant, the spirit Ariel, so they can go to work right away.
- We find out Ariel was in charge of the details of the tempest. He performed his duties down to the last detail: he appeared on the ship as fire, jumping between cabins and the deck. This, understandably, weirded everyone out on the ship, and while the mariners stayed on deck, everyone else jumped overboard.
- Ariel then saw to it that they all made it ashore unharmed, but in separate groups. Most importantly, the King's son was separated from the rest of the group. Ariel left the mariners on their newly restored ship in an enchanted sleep, and sent the other vessels in the fleet back to Naples.
- Prospero is glad of Ariel's good work, but demands that there is much more to do in the next four hours. Ariel reminds him then that he's already done lots of good work, and that Prospero promised that when his work was done, he would set the spirit-servant free. So SHOW HIM THE MONEY, essentially.
- Prospero flies into something of a rage. He reminds Ariel that he once rescued him (therefore Ariel should be as indebted as a Harry Potter house-elf without socks for the rest of eternity).
- Prospero tells us a story: Sycorax was a terrible witch, born in Algiers and banished from there because she got it on with the Devil himself. We don't get the details of that interesting night, but instead we learn that the pregnant Sycorax was banished to this very island, where she made Ariel her lackey. Still, because Ariel was too "delicate" to do the horrible things she commanded, Sycorax had a fit and imprisoned Ariel in the cleft of a pine tree, where he stayed rather stuck.
- Twelve years later, Sycorax was dead, and Prospero came to the island to find the loud, sad, unearthly moans of Ariel coming from a tree. After he freed the spirit, Prospero committed Ariel to his service, with the promise of eventual liberty.
- After Prospero tells this long story, he chides Ariel that any more whining will get him locked back into the tree. However, if Ariel behaves, Prospero will free him in two days, once all the work is done.
- Brain Snack: The rest of the play actually takes place over the course of about four hours (not two days). In fact, The Tempest is one of two Shakespeare plays (including The Comedy of Errors) that takes place over the course of a single day in a single location. Literary critics have a fancy name for this—the "unities" of time and place. Contrast the action and location of The Tempest to, say, The Winter's Tale, which spans a huge length of time and space.
- Prospero sends Ariel off in the shape of an invisible water nymph (we don't know either), and wakes Miranda so they can go together to see Caliban.
- Miranda says she can't stand to look at Caliban, but her dad points out that Caliban (who has been enslaved by Prospero) does all those pesky island chores that nobody else likes to do (like fetch wood and build fires).
- Prospero and Miranda stroll up to Caliban's pad and immediately begin to verbally abuse him, during which time we learn the following: Caliban was the island's only other inhabitant when Miranda and Prospero arrived; he is the child of Sycorax (the witch) and the Devil.
- We also learn that, initially, Prospero had taken Caliban under his wing, taught him to speak, and fed him. In exchange, Caliban had shown him all the tricks and treasures of the island. Sadly, the friendship ended when Caliban tried to rape Miranda, with the intention of populating the island with little Calibans (or Mirand-abans, or whatever). Prospero then confined Caliban to servitude and a dwelling near a rock outside of Prospero's cell.
- Caliban hates being a slave, but Prospero is powerful and likes to inflict Caliban with terrible body cramps for misbehaving and talking back. (Caliban eventually pipes down and leaves, but not before he hurls a few insults and curses Prospero.)
- Ferdinand (the stranded Prince) enters with Ariel who is invisible and sings a tune so beautiful that the amazed Ferdinand quits mourning his father (who Ferdinand thinks has dies in the shipwreck) to follow the music.
- Ariel leads Ferdinand to Miranda. When the prince and princess look into each other's eyes, it's love at first sight.
- Miranda turns to her dad and announces that Ferdinand is the hottest guy she's ever seen (never mind the fact that the only men Miranda's seen for the past twelve years are Caliban and Prospero). Miranda thinks Ferdinand must be a god or a spirit.
- Ferdinand declares that Miranda must be a goddess and then asks our girl if she's a "maid." (No, not the kind who washes your socks and cleans up your room. Ferdinand wants to know if Miranda's an unmarried virgin.)
- Ferdinand announces that he's the King of Naples (now that his dad has perished in a dramatic shipwreck). However, this situation conveniently puts him in a good position to make Miranda Queen of Naples. Miranda meets all the practical requirements of love, so they're all ready for marriage in 26 lines.
- Prospero, though he has been making asides all along that his plan is going well, declares to himself that if things are too easy for the young couple, then they won't take their vows of love seriously.
- In order to add a bit of conflict to the romance, Prospero accuses Ferdinand of being a spy intending to steal the island. Prospero threatens to chain up Ferdinand and enchant him, but the Prince rebels against the accusation.
- Miranda, newly in love, comes to the defense of Ferdinand.
- Thankfully, Ferdinand feels the same way, and he says that the weight of his would-be father-in-law's threats and the death of his own father would seem light if he could only look out of his prison once a day and see Miranda. (Maybe he and his dad weren't that close. Who can say?)
- Prospero insults Ferdinand, but we know Prospero is just putting on a tough dad act because he secretly comments to himself that he's glad to see the two falling in love, all according to his master plan.
- Prospero calls Ariel to do more work, and again promises the spirit will soon be free as the mountain winds in Pocahontas.

The Gunners boss says the penalty miss in the first leg had a big mental effect on the German but insists he has moved on and is ready to show his quality.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is backing Mesut Ozil to shine when the Gunners face Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League tie on Tuesday.
The North Londoners travel to Germany trailing 2-0 from the first leg but will take confidence from the knowledge they won by the same score at the Allianz Arena last season.
Ozil missed a penalty in the first leg at the Emirates, in a disappointing display, but Wenger says he is over the incident and is getting back to his best after scoring in Saturday's 4-1 FA Cup win over Everton.
"Psychologically sometimes the wound is like a physical one. You can talk and talk and talk, but it takes time. You just have to leave it to time. I think he is over it. He has a good opportunity to show on Tuesday night how good he is.
"The way the players celebrated was certainly important to him, and to the team as well. He was absolutely outstanding from the first to the last minute."
Wenger also acknowledged that the Germany international is still adapting to life in the Premier League following his big-money summer move from Real Madrid.
"I would like him to find the right balance between being a provider and finisher," he added. "At the moment the balance is a bit detrimental to the finishing. His strong side is providing.
"But he is pacy, much quicker than people think he is, and with that technical quality and that pace, if he gets into the right areas and with the service he has, he can score goals. He wants to score more goals, I am convinced of that. The physical part of the game is certainly something he has to adapt to. First you have to convince yourself mentally that you have to do it.
"Then to adapt physically. Against Everton, he looked to me to have a really complete performance on both sides, defensive and offensive."

Where There Is No Truth, There Is No Freedom
- [A Czech Citizen Remembers...]
Alexandra L., intern | 2012-01-05 15:04
Václav Havel, the first president of the Czech Republic and a prominent figure in its struggle for democracy during the communist era, passed away on December 18th, 2011, just a day before the death of Kim Jong Il was reported. It was a coincidence that brought talk of the end of an era.
"With Václav Havel left a man who had given back the Czech nation its dignity, a man who played a crucial role in our nation's independence in 1989. He was the most famous of Czechs, respected worldwide. Unfortunately, more welcomed and recognized abroad than at home. A humble and a shy person as he was, he succeeded in meeting and dealing with the most powerful people in this world. I only hope that at least now we come to realize what a man we had as a fellow citizen and will take an example from him." (Karel Schwarzenberg, Czech minister of Foreign Affairs, Dec. 18, 2011)
Václav Havel's figure stands out in the anti-communist revolutionary firmament thanks to the ideas behind his struggle, a struggle through peaceful yet powerful means, of words and hope, working for a righteous cause. And the universal humanist that he was, his advocacy for human rights never stopped even when it could sometimes appear to be like Quijote's beating of the windmills. As he himself once said: "Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed." Equally: "Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you." Endurance in non-resignation was the key driving force of his dissident years, a universal in the struggle against totalitarianism.
Naturally, following the logic of this spirit, he did not consider his commitment to human rights and struggle for democracy fulfilled once the Iron Curtain had been taken down; he followed the fate of other nations living under oppressive regimes just as he had follwed his own. To him, Pyongyang was "the most totalitarian in the world," as he said in his first article condemning the North Korean establishment for starving its people to death in 2004. With the Six-Party Talks resuming after the North Korean nuclear test in 2006, Havel – with other scholars – urged policymakers not to get distracted by the nuclear threat and use the opportunity to draw Pyongyang into a debate over human rights, and he was one of those who subsequently commissioned 'Failure to Protect: A Call for the UN Security Council to Act in North Korea' and 'Failure to Protect: The Ongoing Challenge of North Korea,' reports to the UN Security Council, and urged democratic nations to unite and make a firm stand on the human rights issue in all dealings with Pyongyang, since he said a position of power is the only one which dictators such as Kim Jong Il understand.
Yet it should not be a physical power per se, Havel went on to claim, but more of a moral one: "I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions."
With Kim Jeong Eun's recent ascension to power, then Havel's words seem to regain a new validity:
▲ through his legacy of strong belief in the power of words and his call for a strong, unified pro-human rights stance during any dealings with Pyongyang, concepts that might just have found their moment; or,
▲ through his legacy of hope, even if now it might seem like hoping against hope for anyone involved in the North Korean human rights movement.
For as Tomáš Halik said in giving the requiem sermon for Havel on December 20th, "Václav Havel has shown that politics in not only a matter of power; it is so indeed, and it is not advisable to despise that. But at certain levels, politics is primarily a culture, a culture of communication."
On January 6th, 2012, at 2:00 pm, there is to be a "Memorial Tribute Honoring the Life and Work of Vaclav Havel" in Seoul, jointly organized by the Citizens' Alliance for North Korean Human Rights, The April Society and the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Seoul.

I work at a middle school and we had a "disaster" drill today. I was head of search and rescue. I think I was the only person excited for this. Any chance to simulate anything that can help prepare me is just my thing. It is always nice to have other people involved and sort of see how they operate.
Now I fully understand that a drill is no where near the same thing as the real deal. It was however an interesting experience. Some things I noted. Efficiency is not the name of the game. There were many areas I was involved in that could have been improved. Too many people were babysitting kids that were pretty well behaved. It took us 45 minutes to search the campus and move 3 "bodies" of various distress from death to injury. To me that is too long. I let them know it would probably be ideal if more people were utilized in the rescue side and then could resume their work at aide stations. Interesting all around event. Another interesting side is that by law we can be required to remain on campus with students for up to 3 days. All I will say to that is that in case of emergency, its just a job.

"Game of Thrones" is pretty well known for being a show that doesn't shy away from making the audience recoil in horror. In addition to the gore we all frankly expect to find in a show featuring a Medieval-esque war torn landscape, there is also the very real fear that the character we've all spent a full season getting to know and love will be viciously ripped away from us, probably at their own wedding.
If you're not caught up, read no further as there are spoilers upon spoilers. We're about to take a melancholy look back at those we've lost this season in the hopes of softening the blow of having to find all new characters to love and hate next season.
King Joffrey Baratheon
Viewers had been waiting for this moment a long time. In addition to being a royal pain in everyone's backside, King Joffrey was responsible for the death of Ned Stark in season one. The first major character death of the series, and the one that let us all know that George R.R Martin has no respect for any of our feelings. Watching the little brat choke on poison wine at his own wedding was as satisfying as it was super-gross, and is not something any of us will forget for a while.
Dontos Hollard
This Knight turned fool seemed like a nice guy at first. However, anyone working with Little Finger has to have some moral shortcomings. Still, we'll never be really sure if he deserved that crossbow bolt to the chest, since he can't exactly tell us his side of the story.
Lysa Arryn
It's likely that everyone saw Lysa's end coming. The kind of madness she displayed, as well as her refusal to see Peter Balish as the manipulator he is was pretty much a red flag from the moment she appeared on screen this season. Still, getting tossed out of a "Moon Door" from unknown, yet extreme heights is a pretty terrible way to go. Still, her absence is going to pave the way for all of the undoubtedly scandalous scenes we can expect from Sansa Stark and Little Finger next season.
Oberyn Martell
The writers did such a good job of making us love this guy right up until the moment they dashed all of our hopes and dreams of seeing his future antics. He was suave, sophisticated, and frankly quite progressive for a Westerosi man. Oberyn was so obsessed with justice that it was his undoing. This probably won't be the last we hear from the Martell family, if they're all equally into revenge. Hopefully, Ellaria Sand will be smart enough to lay low until she's got some more back-up in King's Landing.
Mag Mar Tun Do Wed - AKA The Really Freaking Big Giant Guy
We only got to see the giants for a few moments during "The Watchers on The Wall." In that time, it was made pretty clear how determined the Wildlings were to make it over the wall before winter. There wasn't much of his demise seen on screen, but somehow a few rag tag Night's Watchmen managed to kill a guy big enough to pull a tree up by its roots. He's still got a brother out there somewhere, so we might get to see a more action packed Giant-Slaying in the future.
Styr – AKA Creepy Cannibal Wildling Leader
We only got to see a few short scenes with the Cannibal Wildlings, and most of them were battles. Still, this particular Man-eater was charismatic enough to earn a spot on this list. Unfortunately his character was built up enough that we all expected to see at least one gruesome cannibal scene, and we never got it. Still watching this particularly terrifying character meet his end was pretty satisfying.
Sadly Jon Snow won't get to have gorgeous ginger babies with his Wildling bride. For a moment it looked like they might just run off together and leave The Wall behind, but unfortunately we'll never know if they could have made it work.
Jojen Reed
Knowing that Jojen saw his demise coming from the moment he appeared on screen, and still delighted us on his quest to help young Bran makes him a much more admirable character. This young clairvoyant will be much missed by the viewers as he always seemed to add an otherworldly character to his scenes. His persona was nearly just as mystical as any dragon or White Walker.
This was the death most viewers did not see coming. Shae's return made her a much less sympathetic character. It was one thing for her to testify against Tyrion during his trial, presumably under duress. Yet finding her in Tywin Lannister's bed pretty much sealed everyone's opinion that she was officially terrible. Still it was sad that Tyrion had to exact revenge on someone he used to love.
Tywin Lannister
This particular "Game of Thrones" death was pretty predictable once Tyrion was set free. Tywin's manipulation of his family finally caught up with him. The scary thing is that Cersei will probably become 10 times the villain next season without him to hold her back. We can all look forward to watching her become more unhinged that ever before, now that she doesn't have to answer to Daddy.
Sandor Clegane – AKA The Hound (Unconfirmed)
It really seemed like The Hound might be making his way towards being one of the good guys. Once he learned that he wouldn't be able to sell Arya to her aunt, the fact that he kept her around is indicative of his feelings of being her protector. Still, his tendency towards violence ended up being his undoing, though we can't be sure if he is actually dead. His injuries were definitely life threatening, yet he was technically still alive the last time he was on screen.
When watching a show like "Game of Thrones," character deaths are more normal than situations where everything turns out alright. Still, we will all miss watching certain characters even if they were horrible. Though it is always interesting to watch the different ways in which they meet their ends. With the arrival of The Children, and the conquering of the north by the Boltons, there will undoubtedly be many more characters that come and go.


text: A family is reunited with their cat after a devastating flood Posted on Apr 12 , 2012 by Noah, Petfinder Foundation program manager Print Home > Blog > Grants that changed lives > A family is reunited with their cat after a devastating flood In June of 2011, record rainfall in Canada and North Dakota caused the Souris River to rise to unprecedented levels. When water crested over levees in the small town of Minot, ND, a state of emergency was declared and 11,000 people — and their pets — were evacuated. The Vitko family was reunited with their two cats after the Minot floods. Minot-based Petfinder member Souris Valley Animal Shelter stepped up to the challenge of taking in displaced pets. As staff and volunteers rounded up pets who had become separated from their families, and as people began dropping off pets until they could return to their homes, it quickly became apparent that more staff would be needed. With the number of homeless pets growing to more than 500, volunteers were spread thin. The Petfinder Foundation is dedicated to helping Petfinder members in times of disaster. With a $5,000 grant from the Petfinder Foundation, RedRover (formerly United Animal Nations) was able to send responders to the scene to help ease the burden on SVAS staff and volunteers. "I was nearly at the point of losing hope," says SVAS director Susan Wagers. "The knowledge and experience each responder brought meant so much."After the jump: Read an amazing reunion story from the flood. As the floodwaters receded, the difficult task of finding homes for pets and reuniting lost pets with their families began. One family, the Vitkos, came in on Aug. 3 to visit their cat Linus, whom they had dropped off at the shelter when their home flooded. The Vitkos' other cat, Lucy (Linus's sister), had run away during the confusion of the evacuation. The Vitkos' young daughter Solano had been especially close to Lucy, and the loss was very hard on her. While the family was visiting with Linus, they heard Solano scream, "It's Lucy! It's Lucy!" As unlikely as it was, it turned out that it was Lucy. Out of more than 300 cats in the shelter at the time, she was in a cage directly across the aisle from Linus! RedRover responders had found Lucy and brought her in. Although the Vitkos still didn't have a home, their day was brightened. They had been unsure whether they would see Lucy ever again. But now, their family was complete. Thanks to the grant from the Petfinder Foundation allowing RedRover responders to help the SVAS, hundreds of pets were cared for while their families waited to return home — one less thing for the flood victims to worry about as they rebuilt their lives.

When it comes to understanding Photoshop are you:-
Confused about where to begin?
Not sure which manuals to use and which tutorials to try?
Feel you are not getting much out of the programme?
I started using Photoshop in version 3, that's the old version 3, not the more recent CS3.
Photoshop was much simpler in those days with considerably fewer functions, but even so it was not easy to learn because the available manuals were pretty hopeless.
The situation isn't very different today and the programme is now much more complicated.
Most people seem to have had bad experiences with computer manuals. They are written by experts but never seem to have been road-tested on complete beginners. Photoshop is no exception, with some books spending the first 70 pages describing every menu feature and every tool in some detail.
A confusing amount of information is pumped out, and much of it will not be used for a long while. Some of this information will never be used and it certainly cannot be remembered by the reader.
All I wanted to do was just get started. In due course I mastered all its functions but I thought there has to be a better way of presenting the instructions.
This stimulated me to write articles on different Photoshop tasks.
In due course, these articles expanded and developed into an e-book about learning Photoshop.
There's no long wordy introduction full of jargon swamping the reader with facts; just switch on and start mashing pixels.
Intermediate and advanced users will also find new techniques and information.
In the Video section in the Navigation Bar there are links to some great On-line Video tutorials.
They cover Photoshop CC and CS6, Photoshop Elements, Lightroom, Animations and Video, and more.

Photoshop wouldn't be much good without photography, preferably good stuff rather than bad, so there are articles on:
The How to Start link will take you to some basic tutorials to get you started without delay.
After that, there is plenty to explore and information about improving your knowledge and skills, whether you are making a fancy composite image or tidying up your favourite holiday pictures.

Advocate file photo by RICHARD ALAN HANNON -- Southern forward Jasmine Jefferson (15) rubs her head from the bench during a game last season at the F.G. Clark Activity Center. Jefferson averaged 13.5 points and 14 rebounds on the Jaguars' recent Texas swing to open Southwestern Athletic Conference play. BY SCOTT HOTARD| Advocate sportswriter Comments Continuing what has been a roller coaster of a Southwestern Athletic Conference season, the Southern women's basketball team reached its lowest of lows Monday night. Alabama A&M not only became the first conference opponent to beat the Jaguars on their home floor, but the Bulldogs left no doubt. Southern never cut its deficit to single digits in the second half, falling 64-47 in a game that A&M led for nearly 39 minutes. "Too many jump shots. We got killed on the boards. Poor defensive effort in the post," Southern coach Sandy Pugh said. "But give (A&M) and their coaches all the credit. They did a good job of doing what they do. We didn't do what we're supposed to do." Pugh hopes Southern (12-14, 11-4) can regroup in time for next month's SWAC tournament and take a turn for the better in this emotional whirlwind of a season. After beating top-tier conference rivals Texas Southern and Prairie View to open league play, Southern was blasted by lowly Grambling on the road. Then the Jaguars won eight straight. Then came a puzzling loss at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, another team at the bottom of the conference standings. Then a narrow loss at Mississippi Valley for a two-game losing streak. The Jaguars looked like they had regrouped when they improved to 7-0 in conference home games with Saturday's 55-44 win over Alabama State. Into town came an A&M team that had lost five of six before knocking off last-place Alcorn State on Saturday. It's the same A&M team Southern beat by 13 in Alabama earlier this year. "I know we have a good team," A&M coach Altherias Warmley said. "We just went through a little swoon." Southern took a 2-0 lead on Lechell Rush's jumper 36 seconds in, but the Bulldogs (9-15, 8-6) scored the next five points and never looked back. A&M led 36-22 at the end of the first half, then went ahead 38-22 early in the second. The lead reached 18 points with 13:57 left. After torching Southern for 32 points and 10 rebounds in the first meeting, A&M guard Jasmine Sanders had a game-high 16 points Monday to go with four rebounds. But she got much more help from her teammates this time. Post player NaDra Robertson had 15 points. Shundray Davis had nine points and 10 rebounds. Alyssa Strickland provided the outside threat, making three 3-pointers to finish with 15 points. "Two halves of basketball," Warmley said. "I thought my team played a great game tonight." Pugh brought Laneisha Sanders off the bench, but the senior post player was clearly hobbled after missing Saturday's game with a lingering knee injury. She had four points and three rebounds in 17 minutes. "I wasn't sure how effective she would be because she hadn't practiced in a week," Pugh said. "But we had to try something." Rush led Southern with 13 points. Leading scorer Kendra Coleman continued to struggle with her shot, finishing 3-of-13 for eight points. No. 2 scorer Adrian Sanders had 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting. Southern got off 11 more shots than A&M but connected on only 32.7 percent of them. A&M shot 45.5 percent. "We've got to play smarter basketball," Pugh said. "On top of that, we've got to shoot the ball better." For the second straight year, Southern finds itself headed in the wrong direction at the wrong time. The Jaguars sat atop the SWAC standings through 13 games last year but lost four of the final six and bowed out of the conference tournament in their first game.

Lecture by Dr. William Parkinson, Field Museum of Natural History
As artifacts travel from the ground to the consumer in the marketplace, recent research has shown that there are multiple stakeholders with competing claims in the legal trade in antiquities. In Israel it is legal to buy and sell artifacts from legally sanctioned dealers, if the collections pre-date the 1978 national ownership law. Not all aspects of this trade are legal, however, and not all participants have an equal voice.
Studies of ancient urbanism readily recognize the role of regional and interregional interaction processes in the development and sustenance of urbanism. Although ancient trade and immigration were inherent in the origins of urban society archaeologists have often attributed the rise of origins of urbanism to non-local often foreigner initiatives. Dr. Chap Kusimba of the Field Museum of Natural History will discuss his ongoing archaeological investigations on the rise, sustenance, and demise of ancient cities of East Africa.

Since the discovery in the 1930s of enigmatic wall murals at the type site of Tulaylat al-Ghassul, Jordan, archaeologists have debated how to interpret them. Evidence from iconography and imagery such as this, and from more recent excavations in the southern Levant (Israel, Jordan, and Palestine) suggests a florescence of ritual practices during the Chalcolithic Period (4500-3600 BC). Yorke Rowan, Oriental Institute, University of Chicago, will present recent fieldwork that documents a late prehistoric era when novel symbols, rituals and paraphernalia are focused on intensified concerns a
Two Egyptian mummies have been part of the Milwaukee Public Museum's collections since 1887. They were first CT-scanned in 1986 at the instigation of curator Carter Lupton. That project involved other specialists and indirectly led to the formation of the Akhmim Mummy Studies Consortium, a collaboration that has examined nearly 20 mummies from Akhmim thus far, from collections spread across the country and the globe. Lupton will share the history of this ongoing study, including more recent examinations and analyses of the MPM mummies.
Dr. Jeff Kowalski, Northern Illinois University, will discuss the development of a recent "tradition" of wood carving in northwest Yucatán. He will focus on the work of several artisans who supplement their income (primarily derived from work as guardians or guides at local archaeological sites such as Kabah, Labna, or Sayil) by creating expertly crafted and aesthetically engaging wood sculptures. These artworks are inspired by, and often based closely on images from Classic Maya stelae, lintels, and ceramics, or Postclassic painted manuscripts.

Attraction of Balinese culture has embedded in the heart of Chinese tourists. It was expressed by Mr. Leo, a tourist from of Zhong Guo, Yunnan, Lijiang, who brought his family to take a trip for some two weeks in Bali. "Balinese culture made me and family absorbed. We really enjoyed the cultural appeal of the community," said Mr. Leo in the dinner hosted by the family of former Chairman of the Indonesian Tourist Guide Association (HPI) Bali, I Gusti Gede Kompyang Pujawan, Tuesday, not long ago in a Chinese food restaurant on Jalan Teuku Umar Denpasar. Mr. Leo claimed to have traveled to Bali Island for three times.
As soon as returning home from Bali, he always got a memorable experience. Spectacle of traditional Balinese performance always brought in special memories. Balinese hospitality was also revealed to have touched his heart. Bali scenery in various tourist attractions also amazed him after returning to his country. Then, magnificent view of Tanah Lot Beach was praised as a thrilling attraction. "Balinese people are so friendly. I even have a good relationship to Mr. Pujawan and family. I stayed for a week in his inn, Bali Yuai, located on Jalan Satelit in Denpasar. The hospitality was felt up to this day.
"My relationship and family to Mr. Pujawan has been like a family. It is the evidence of friendliness offered by Balinese people," he said when accompanied by a Mandarin-speaking tour guide and interpreter, Nyoman Riswan Pertama Putra. According to Kompyang Pujawan, the dinner for guests of his family spending holidays in Bali was a common tradition for years. According to this senior figure of the Denpasar-Fukuoka Brotherhood, it was not just showing the hospitality, but also a sincere service to anyone.
"Moreover, it is related to Balinese cultural tourism being popular with the impression of hospitality of the community," added Kompyang Pujawan accompanied by his wife, Ida Dwi Ratna, and three of his four children, namely Gung Intan, Gung Mas and Gung De. (BTN/kmb)

Gospel Reading
John 18:33b-37
Jesus is questioned by Pilate about the charge brought against him that he is "King of the Jews."
Background on the Gospel Reading
This Sunday is the last Sunday of the Church's liturgical year. On this Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of Christ the King. Each year we set aside this Sunday to reflect upon this title that we have given to Jesus. In Lectionary Cycle C, we read a portion of the passion from the Gospel of John, which is also part of the Gospel reading proclaimed each year on Good Friday.
In John's Gospel, Pilate is shown in a more favorable light than in the other Gospels. In today's reading, we hear one of two dialogues between Jesus and Pilate that are reported in John's Gospel. Pilate questions Jesus about the charges brought against him. Caiaphas and the high priests have charged Jesus with a political crime, one that would require a punishment of death. Pilate distances himself from the Jewish leaders who accuse Jesus; he is not a Jew, and he seems to want little to do with this Jewish affair.
In his responses to Pilate's questions, Jesus distinguishes his kingdom from the political powers of this world. King and kingdom may be appropriate terms for Jesus' mission and promise, but only by analogy. Jesus is king, but not the kind of king we imagine or expect. He was certainly not the kind of king Pilate feared he might be.
Jesus refers to a kingdom that does not belong to this world. This has been mentioned earlier in John's Gospel. Recall that in his prayer during the Last Supper discourse (see John 17:6-18), Jesus prayed for his disciples who are in the world but do not belong to the world. Yet like Jesus, they are sent into the world for the world's salvation. In today's reading, we see Jesus identify the final proof that his kingdom is not of this world: If his kingdom were of this world, then there would be people fighting to save him. Again we hear echoes of John's theme—salvation is worked out through a cosmic battle. It is helpful to return to the first chapter of John's Gospel to understand the context for Jesus' words to Pilate. Jesus came into the world, but the world did not know him. In John's language, the world prefers the darkness, and yet the light will not be overcome by the darkness.
Truth has been another important theme in John's Gospel. We see it emphasized in the conclusion of the dialogue between Jesus and Pilate. Those who know the truth will recognize Jesus as king and will know how to interpret this insight. Yet Jesus' kingship was hidden from many of his contemporaries. Only those chosen, those who have the eyes of faith, are able to see. As modern disciples of Jesus, we also struggle at times to recognize Jesus as king. Today's Gospel invites us to see with eyes of faith that we might recognize that Jesus, through his crucifixion and death, is indeed king and Savior of all.

App Watch: Checking In for Deals
Throw together a few Groupon-style deals and a little bit of location gaming a la Foursquare, and you've got the recipe for a new app — LevelUp.
Like Groupon, LevelUp offers discounts at local bars, restaurants and shops. But it takes the daily deal shtick to another level by allowing users to "level up" and get an even better discount if they go back to the same location more than once. Each time a user returns, the discounts become steeper.
For example, Boston residents can pay $5 for $10 worth of ice cream at Toscanini's, a popular ice cream shop near Massachusetts Institute of Technology. But if a customer returns, they can pay $10 for a micro scoop of ice cream and a Toscanini's T-shirt. The third and final level lets customers pay $50 for a new flavor consultation at the Ice Cream Lab, which is normally worth $100.
"It's a deal that gets better as you use it," said Seth Priebatsch, the 22-year-old founder, describing the three-level deal model as "good, better, best." "It's a much more engaging relationship."
Mr. Priebatsch is perhaps best known as the founder of SCVNGR, a location-based social media app that combines challenges with rewards that can ultimately lead to a deal. He founded SCVNGR as a company in 2008 and launched the SCVNGR app in May 2010. It's nearing 1.5 million users today. The company has managed to raise a total of $20 million with a valuation of $100 million.
But like the founders of many location-based start-ups, Mr. Priebatsch was searching for that key motivator that would push users to come back time and again to their local merchant. Foursquare has tried to build loyalty by allowing users to become the "mayor" of a location if they visit many times, or win "badges" when they check in to certain locations. It even offers some deals through merchants. Still, most location-based companies are tinkering with ways to get users to check in to locations repeatedly, thereby building loyalty to local merchants.
SCVNGR turned a location-based app into a game, hoping that users would want to engage the app again and again because they would want to win challenges and reap rewards. By using game mechanics, Mr. Priebatsch said he took the idea one step farther by allowing users to win better deals and help merchants build loyal consumers.
"Game mechanics by themselves are extremely powerful but a huge part is providing some value on the other end," he said. "There needs to be a reward behind it."
Mr. Priebatsch said his product is also attractive to merchants because, unlike with Groupon, the company takes no commission if a user doesn't return to a location. "If we don't bring these customers back, we haven't done our job and we don't deserve to get paid," he said.
LevelUp is currently available as a free app on Android and iOS.
Deals also are accessible through its website, www.thelevelup.com. As of now, its 100,000 subscribers access the product equally between the website and the app. It launched in March as a pilot program in Philadelphia and Boston, offering deals through 200 local businesses. SCVNGR offers rewards at 20,000 locations and Mr. Priebatsch said he expects many of those same spots to ultimately migrate toward offering deals through LevelUp as well once the product expands. But that expansion likely won't happen for another month or two, as the SCVNGR team figures how to merge the LevelUp with SCVNGR.
"Both have interesting concepts," Mr. Priebatsch said. "You'll see alternate iterations about what a better deal looks like."

Handling the Boss
Know your boundaries. Your boss is always your boss, no matter how well you get on or how much they value your opinion.
Always remain professional and remember that they are in a position of seniority to you. Don't offer advice unless asked.
Make it personal. Ask after the little ones and lesser halves, but keep within polite parameters.
Careful answering back could be taken as witty repartee and disagreeing as a brave challenge, but approach both with caution.
When a work crisis erupts, ride out the panic before sharing it with the boss. They expect solutions not problems, so turn it around.
