Pillars of Grace & Foundations of Grace Book Setby Steven Lawson
Please check back soon to purchase this item.
From the lawgiver Moses to the apostle John, and from the early church fathers to modern defenders of the faith, there has marched onto the stage of human history a long line of godly men, a triumphant parade of spiritual stalwarts who have upheld the doctrines of grace. In Foundations of Grace, the first in the three-volume A Long Line of Godly Men series, Dr. Steven J. Lawson takes you on a heart-stirring survey of the Scriptures to show that the Bible in its entirety teaches the doctrines of grace.
From the time of the early church fathers to the years of the Reformers, there have been key men in the church, pillars as it were, who stood on the foundation of Scripture and upheld the truth of God's sovereign role in salvation. In his second volume, Pillars of Grace, Dr. Lawson walks readers through the ups and downs of church history, profiling these voices for the truth. The inescapable conclusion is that the doctrines of grace are no innovation, but the consistent witness of some of the greatest men of the church.

Downtown office tower sells for $49 million
Foreclosed 600 B Street building at half of its 2006 peak
The 24-story 600 B St. office building in downtown San Diego has sold for a bargain-basement $49 million, about half its previous value after going through foreclosure.
The buyer is Dallas-based Lincoln Property and the seller, Nomura CDO, which took back the property in foreclosure from Legacy Partners. It is Lincoln's first acquisition in San Diego.
Legacy paid $95.5 million in 2006 for the 359,218-square-foot building, which opened in 1974 as the headquarters of San Diego Federal Savings & Loan, later renamed Great American Bank. Bridgepoint Education now anchors the building on the first two floors.
"We like the building because we like the attributes of the building," said Brig Black, Lincoln's senior vice president for Southern California.
He cited the floor-to-ceiling glass on each level, the renovated common areas, a daycare center and the "fantastic views" to San Diego Bay and Balboa Park.
"Couple that with what we think buying the building at an attractive price and we think we will attract tenants," he said.
Lincoln, a privately owned firm founded in 1965 by its chairman Mack Pogue, owns or manages more than 11 million square feet of commercial real estate in Southern California and has developed more than 100 million square feet and 185,000 apartments worldwide. It employs about 4,400 in 40 offices in the U.S. and Europe.
The building is currently 85 percent leased, but the largest lease of 138,000 square feet to the city's water and engineering departments expires next year, and downtown's vacancy rate is still higher than other major submarkets in the county.
Black, who said negotiations continue with the city about extending the lease, noted that San Diego's office market did not deteriorate as much as in other cities. Local economic strength in defense, technology, tourism and life sciences makes the area attractive for investors.
As for downtown's office prospects, he said young workers who enjoy the urban lifestyle and emergence of start-up companies should give the market a boost.
"I think the recovery in downtown San Diego is still in its infancy, but there are palpable signs that downtown San Diego is really growing and coming into its own," he said.
Veteran downtown broker Kraig Kristofferson at CB Richard Ellis noted that 600 B sold far below the $135 million last month at Columbia Center, 401 W. A St., even after taking into account the difference in size. Columbia with 553,715 square feet sold at $244 per square foot and 600 B at $136.
"A lot depends on age and location," he said.
But he agreed with Black that downtown's office market may be improving soon.
"Certainly, San Diego is not a tech center like San Francisco or Seattle or some of those other areas are," Kristofferson said. "But we are seeing a lot more interest from these companies and some grow pretty fast when they get going."
This is not the first time 600 B's fortunes have crashed. It sold for only $6 million in 1995 in the wake of the failure of Great American Bank and many other S&Ls that got overextended and approved too many loans that went bad.

Expansion not in Medicaid bill, but not dead issue
Governor opposes growth in program
Mississippi lawmakers are holding onto a chance to debate Medicaid expansion in the next few weeks, even though the governor and other Republicans oppose growth in the program.
With no debate Wednesday, the Senate passed a bill designed to keep Medicaid in business after the budget year ends June 30.
Democratic Sen. Hob Bryan, of Amory, said the bill could be changed later to expand Medicaid, as allowed by the federal health overhaul that President Barack Obama signed in 2010.
Mississippi has about 3 million residents, and more than 640,000 are on Medicaid, the federal-state health insurance program for the needy. Expansion could add roughly 300,000.
Senate Bill 2207 moves to the House.
Some lawmakers want more information about whether hospitals will take a financial hit without Medicaid expansion.

Learn More About New Features in Java SE 8
By Raymond Gallardo-Oracle on Mar 25, 2014
Java SE 8 introduces significant enhancements to the Java language and class libraries. These enhancements enable you to make code more concise without losing readability; write more reliable code; better utilize multi-core and multi-processor systems (code is no longer inherently serial or parallel); and detect more errors at compile time, rather than at run time.
See What's New in JDK 8 and JDK 8 Adoption Guide for more detailed information on these new features and how to adopt them.
Learn more about these features with the following links from Java SE 8 Technical Documentation:
- Java Language Enhancements
- Lambda Expressions enable you to treat functionality as a method argument, or code as data. They are similar to closures and provide more concise anonymous function types and a more functional style of programming.
- Default Methods (or Extension Methods) provide a mechanism to add new methods to existing interfaces.
- Type Annotations provide the ability to apply an annotation anywhere a type is used, not just on a declaration.
- Improved Type Inference enables the Java compiler to takes advantage of target typing to infer the type parameters of a generic method invocation. The target type of an expression is the data type that the Java compiler expects depending on where the expression appears.
- Obtaining Names of Method Parameters shows you how to retrieve parameter names of methods and constructors (not just types and return types) by reflection.
- Core Libraries Enhancements
- New and Enhanced APIs That Take Advantage of Lambda Expressions and Streams in Java SE 8 modernizes and potentially improves the performance of general library APIs. They also demonstrate bast practices for default methods.
- Concurrency Utilities Enhancements include scalable update variables,
ConcurrentHashMapupdates, and
- Aggregate Operations are a significant change to the Collection APIs. They provide a more sophisticated and flexible way to iterate through a collection. These operations feature serial and parallel implementations, and can be linked together to form a pipeline of operations.
- Arrays and Fork/Join describe parallel array sorting through the use of the
parallelSortmethod in the
- Date-Time APIs includes support for partial dates, durations, periods, intervals, and more complex calendaring systems.
- Enhancements in Packages java.lang.* and java.util.* describes a new, standard API for base64 encoding and decoding; the
Base64class defines factory methods to get
Decoderinstances that encode and decode base64 data
- Compact Profiles are essentially subsets of the standard class libraries. You can compile your applications with one of these compact profiles, thereby decreasing the size of your application.
- Java Virtual Machine Enhancements
- Nashorn is a lightweight, high-performance JavaScript engine, which is integrated into the JRE.
javacommand lists deprecated and removed options as a result of the retirement of rarely used garbage collection combinations and the removal of permanent generation
Simon Ritter has presented the screencast New Features in Java SE 8: A Developer's Guide during the Java 8 Launch Webcast, which discusses these features.

Unboxing the fiio-e17 alpen Amp/DAC (February 7, 2012 by Unbox EIC)
Main point:
The FiiO E17 Alpen is probably one of the best devices FiiO has ever shipped. It has a check mark on almost all the things you'd want from a portable audio accessory. It looks amazing with the brushed black metal design, delivers incredible sound due to the DAC/headphone amplifier, a two-color digital display, and it also has a variety of ports. It also comes with a nice black carrying pouch! We'll do a full review soon but for now we're going to share the unboxing.

Novartis CEO Dan Vasella: Less Pay for Lower Performance
Dan Vasella, CEO of Swiss drug giant Novartis, has long been viewed as one of the industry's more capable leaders. But Novartis's less-than-stellar performance in 2007 led to steep pay cut for Vasella.
Vasella's compensation in 2007 fell by about 20% from the previous year, to 17 million Swiss francs, according to Novartis's annual report. How come? Novartis failed to meet some of its financial and business targets, Vasella told the Health Blog. The Novartis chief said it was his first pay cut since he took the helm of the drug maker more than a decade ago.
"This is the first year I have missed my objectives — or part of them," Vasella said. "Normally I always meet or surpass the expectations." Dr. Vasella said he sets these targets together with the board, which then reviews his performance and decides his compensation.
Novartis's prescription drug unit had a tough year in the U.S., where it faced tough competition from generics. Novartis also suffered some setbacks with the FDA. The agency delayed a decision on diabetes pill Galvus, an important new drug that Novartis hoped to start selling in the U.S. last year. FDA also leaned on Novartis to withdraw the irritable bowel syndrome drug Zelnorm from the U.S. market due to safety concerns. The company complied.
All of that contributed to a 45% drop in fourth-quarter net profit, the company reported today. Novartis has said it would cut 2,500 jobs, or about 2.5% of its workforce, to save money and reduce bureaucracy.
Vasella wasn't alone in taking home less pay. Thomas Ebeling, who oversaw the pharmaceutical unit until October, when he was transferred to run the consumer health division, also suffered a big pay cut: his compensation fell by a whopping 65% last year, to 3.7 million Swiss francs. Chief Financial Officer Raymund Breu and head of R&D Mark Fishman also took home fewer francs. Bucking the trend was Andreas Rummelt, head of the generics unit Sandoz, whose pay rose 16% to 5.6 million Swiss francs. Sandoz had a good year, with sales up 20% to $7.2 billion and operating income up 41% to $1.04 billion.
Clarification: Novartis changed the way it calculates executive compensation in its 2007 annual report to include Novartis stock that the company pledges to give executives in the future if they invest their bonuses in Novartis stock today. Novartis didn't include this stock in the compensation table in its 2006 annual report. If Novartis had, Vasella's compensation would have been greater in 2006, and would have fallen 33% in 2007 to 17 million Swiss francs ($15.5 million). This post said his the compensation fell by about 20% in 2007 to 17 million Swiss francs. That was based on the total compensation figure Novartis reported for him in the compensation table in its 2006 annual report: 21 million Swiss francs.

What You Need to Know About World Trade Week
What You Need to Know About World Trade Week
05.21.14 | By Mark Grayson
President Obama has proclaimed this week "World Trade Week" to raise awareness about the importance of expanding the U.S. international trade footprint in order to generate jobs. While these dates may seem arbitrary to those not intimately engaged on trade matters, the Obama Administration was actually very strategic in its timing as meetings are to be held this week for two critical trade agreements that are currently in development – the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
Representatives from the European Union (EU) and the U.S. will meet this week in Arlington, Virginia to continue discussions about TTIP, which is a trade accord currently in negotiation between the two parties. Although it is still in its early stages, the TTIP has the potential to further reduce, or in some instances completely remove, the remaining trade barriers and unnecessary duplication that exist between the EU and the U.S. as well as expand their already robust economies.
The TPP is much closer to being finalized than the TTIP. Ministers from the participating nations, which include the U.S. and 11 of its trading partners in the Pacific Rim region, gathered this week in Singapore for another round of negotiations. Since the negotiating countries compose 40% of global trade, once enacted the TPP could increase global exports from these nations by more than $300 billion. A final agreement is not expected from the Singapore meeting but these discussions could provide the momentum needed to close the deal over the coming months.
One of the final hurdles before the TPP can cross the finish line is the need for predictable and robust intellectual property (IP) rights in the TPP. Research-based biopharmaceutical companies on both sides of the Pacific are investing heavily in groundbreaking new treatments for the world's patients, and a strong TPP would recognize and incentivize the contributions our industry makes to global health and the world's economy. Additionally, the other TPP nations will be able to reap the same benefits from predictable and enforceable IP laws that have fostered such successful, innovative environments in countries like Japan and the U.S.
"World Trade Week" may not result in any finalized trade agreements but it will hopefully mark a week of significant progress. If the negotiating countries can focus on what they stand to gain from their similar interests, final deals may be realized sooner rather than later, benefiting not only industries but also consumers and patients.

Virtual Receptionists Are Helpful!
I am a hearing aide specialist, and I currently own one store in Arizona. It has been my dream to expand, but I have not had the time. About a month ago, two sales associates with an answering service Avondale walked in to my store. I decided to make an appointment with them to see what they had to say. During the appointment, you could tell that they truly believed in the product. I decided to hire the answering service. I am glad I did because I can finally focus on my dream. Moreover, they have upheld every promise they made me.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Xbox One might not work as well as advertised when it comes to voice detection.
During a 45-minute private presentation Wednesday that showcased the next-generation gaming console's media and entertainment capabilities, about 10 of the 45 voice commands issued had to be repeated by a Microsoft spokesman.
Microsoft has promoted the Xbox One as an all-in-one entertainment solution for living rooms that would allow users to easily switch between activities on a TV screen without needing to push buttons.
A spokesman for Xbox promised the voice detection feature would work better when Xbox One launches Nov. 22.
The console's voice-and-motion-detecting sensor will be included with each Xbox One. The system will cost $499.

Good Times!!!on 11/14/2010 at 11:43 am
I don't know about you, but I certainly enjoyed the weekend weather! A fantastic ride with 10 fellow riders. A sunny morning and lots of fresh air. Followed up with a small turn out for our first run and you have the makings for a great time.

During the 49ers' long stretch of futility, Frank Gore often was reluctant to share the load. He wanted to do anything he could to stave off the mounting losses -- even if that meant withstanding his own mounting injuries.
Now that the 49ers have a commanding lead in the NFC West, Gore sounds a lot more open to the idea of backing off. Looking ahead, the 49ers (7-1) might be able to clinch the division title early enough to let their leading rusher freshen up for the first playoff game of his seven-year career.
"It's up to Coach. Whatever he feels is best for our team, for us. (That's) what we would do," Gore said Thursday. "I don't have any say-so about whether I should play less, or whatever."
Gore said his latest injury, to his left ankle, will not prevent him from taking the Candlestick Park field Sunday against the New York Giants. He said he "feels good" and vowed to practice all week.
Gore has five consecutive 100-yard games. He needs 149 yards to surpass Joe "The Jet" Perry (7,344 yards) for the 49ers' all-time franchise record.
The Giants rank only 25th in the NFL against the run (allowing 127.1 yards per game), but Gore said the stat is deceiving. He pointed to a game in which Buffalo's Fred Jackson racked up 121 rushing yards -- but 80 came on one touchdown run.
"They broke down on that one play. But they play well as a group," Gore said. "As a group, they're athletic. They've got some big guys in there, like (Justin) Tuck."
"He cannot be held as the standard," Jennings said. "It's over."
Speaking on KNBR's morning show with Brian Murphy and Paul McCaffery, the longest-tenured 49ers player quoted philosopher Edmund Burke by saying: "The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing."
Paterno amassed 409 wins, a major college football record. He was fired Wednesday night in the wake of the child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant Jerry Sandusky.
Jennings, his voice rising on the air, said: "I would invite anybody listening to this right now, if you know of child abuse that is happening, pick up your phone right now and call 911 and report it.
"Just do it right now. Because everything else will take care of itself. You cannot be silent. You cannot let this happen and just let it ride."

The Canterbury Chamber Orchestra conducted by Michelle Castelletti
To Live for You - To Die for You - Mahler Symphony No 10 (orchestrated/recreated by Michelle Castelletti)
Mahler's 10th Symphony, possibly one of his most poignant, passionate and autobiographical creations, represents a fascinating journey in performance, musicology and analysis, offering psychological insights into the genius that was Mahler – a mesmerising voyage for the composer, performer and conductor.
Tonight, under the baton of the orchestrator, we shall be witnessing the world premiere of this re-working of Mahler's unfinished symphony. Scored for chamber orchestra, this work continues the tradition of re-orchestrating large-scale late-Romantic works for smaller ensembles, as established at the beginning of the twentieth century by Arnold Schoenberg, his students Erwin Stein, Hans Eisler and Karl Rankl and the Verein für musikalische Privataufführungen.
Tickets: £10 (Full), £8 (Friends of St Gregory's), £5 (Students) – Free to CCCU music students
This event is open to the public.

Militants hurl bomb at an educational institution in Manipur
Sources say that the police posts have been asked to step up patrolling in the area.
Imphal: Some unidentified militants hurled a powerful grenade at the premises of an educational institute in the Imphal West district of Manipur which failed to explode, official sources said on wednesday.
The militants had lobbed the grenade at the complex of Little Master English School in interior Samurou village at around 9.30 pm on Tuesday. Sources say that the police defused the grenade and added that this was the second time that militants had hurled the grenade at the school after May last month.
Earlier, after the May incident, school authorities had appealed to the people not to disturb the academic atmosphere in the school complex.
According to sources, police posts particularly in the valley districts of Imphal east, Imphal west, Bishenpur and Thoubal, have been frequently put on alert because of hurling of grenades and bombs at many places.
Police posts have also been asked to step up patrolling and checking of passers-by to intercept the movement of the armed ultras within their jurisdiction, sources said.

What is it about?
Tiny Troopers was originally an iOS game where you controlled a small battalion of fighters and sent them on bite-sized missions with one or two objectives.
The game was designed for an iPhone—for a pick-up-and-play experience—yet on the PC I found that having to use a mouse (because using the trackpad was incredibly frustrating when trying to aim and fire) makes it feel like a game that you have to invest more time into. The short missions now feel choppy and too brief.
One thing I was also shocked about with the game was enemy deaths. The characters are all depicted in a cartoonish way, however, some enemies would cry out after being shot or even try to get back up, and so you would have to shoot them again. It just felt in stark contrast to the aesthetic of the game.
Why should you play it?
If you were a fan of Tiny Troopers on iOS and want another place to play the game, or if you like army mission-based gameplay with a variety of weapons and power-ups, you'll probably find Tiny Troopers on PC to your liking. However, with choppy missions and a price tag of $9.99 (instead of $0.99 on iOS), in Tiny Troopers I found it hard to soldier on.
Score: 2/5
Tiny Troopers is available to download for PC and Mac for $9.99.

Monmouth Rallies Past Stony Brook 20-14
Sept. 27, 2003
Stony Brook, N.Y. - Monmouth rallied from a 7-0 halftime deficit to post a 20-14 win over Stony Brook at Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium in the Ray Downey Heroes Classic on Saturday evening. The loss snapped a seven-game win streak for the Seawolves as they suffered their first loss of the season to slip to 2-1, 1-1 in Northeast Conference action. Monmouth improved to 4-0, 2-0 in conference play.
Stony Brook took the early lead midway through the first quarter. A short Monmouth punt set up the hosts at midfield and quarterback T.J. Moriarty then engineered an eight-play, 50-yard drive that Moriarty finished off with a three-yard touchdown run. The extra point was good and Stony Brook led 7-0.
The Stony Brook defense held the Hawks to 68 yards for the entire first half, but Monmouth turned the tables in the third quarter. A 27-yard punt return by Billy Worfolk set up the Hawks at the Stony Brook 31. Three plays later, Brian Boland hit Miles Austin on a 13-yard fade in the corner of the endzone and the game was tied at 7.
Monmouth took its first lead of the game early in the fourth when Steve Andriola kicked a 27 yard field goal to make it 10-7.
The Hawks' Joe Sentipal later recovered a T.J. Moriarty fumble at the Stony Brook 31 which set up a Bobby Smith one-yard touchdown run and the Hawks were in control 20-7.
Moriarty led a desperate Seawolves comeback, hitting Londre Blocker for a 24-yard touchdown with 49 seconds remaining. SBU's ensuing onsides kick caromed off a Monmouth player and led to a wild scramble as the ball rolled to the Monmouth 33. It initially appeared that Stony Brook recovered the kick, but MU's David Jiles came out from under the pile with the ball, securing the Monmouth win.
Clinton Graham had a good night for the Brook, rushing for a game-high 119 yards on 23 carries. Blocker caught eight passes for 74 yards.
The Hawks, who came into the game with the league's top-rated defense, held SBU to 120 yards of total offense in the second half.
Sentipal was named the Ray Downey Heroes Classic MVP.
Stony Brook is back in action next Saturday when it travels to Robert Morris. Kick-off is 1:30 p.m.

Creative Scrappers Sketch #249
But, even though this is my last official page for Team A, things aren't quite over just yet...there will be a big reveal next week for Sketch #250 and Kristine is publishing a second edition Sketch Book, that you are definitely going to want to pre-order, which you can do HERE! Now, with all of that said...let's get to this week's reveal!
Heather Leopard created this month's sketch and it is really fabulous! I loved the layering she created on the sketch. It was perfect for using my 6x6 5th & Frolic paper pad. This was a first for me, because the 6x6 papers were the only patterned paper I worked with on this layout. I am a 12x12 girl and I usually have to use the 12x12 paper somewhere on my page...the full background or some strips at the top and bottom of the page. Unfortunately, I only have the 5th & Frolic in 6x6, so I gave myself a challenge to use it as my only patterned paper. White cardstock made a perfect background for these patterns and colors and then I threw in a little modeling paste and some Mister Huey's Spray Mist from Studio Calico.
Now, don't miss your chance to play along with the last few sketches for this month! Come over to Creative Scrappers and link up with us, for the chance to win from our February Sponsor Scrapbook and Cards Today.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---A new study shows women earn less than their male colleagues for the same work, and the pay gap gets wider as the years go by.
But why is this the case, and is it an issue for working women in our area?
Even with the same qualifications, boys usually make the bigger bucks, according to a recent study by the American Association of University Women. To some, that's surprising...to others, not so much.
But no one has a clear reason why.
As vice chairman of the First Bank of Georgia, Pat Blanchard oversees a staff of nearly 200 men and women, many doing the same job. Despite gender differences, he says you won't find a big difference in their salaries.
"All of that is based on their experience and how equipped they are, so it makes no difference whether they are a man or woman," he said.
But many employers don't operate that way, according to a new study that finds that just one year out of college, women working full time earn only 80 percent of what their male colleagues in the same field make, and after ten years the gap widens to just 69 percent.
"It's stereotypes," said Tara Dubkowski of Augusta. "Men have always been the boss, and we still haven't gotten away from that yet."
Researchers and those we talked to seemed to agree on one big reason for the pay inequity.
"I think it has a lot to do with the fact that women are the ones that have children, and they expect that you are going go on maternity leave and not come back," Michelle Greene of Augusta said.
When it comes to city workers, Augusta employment manager Moses McCauley says you won't see a gap, because salaries are set.
"Our salaries are controlled by the Commission," he said. "Any increase or change in job description that elevates a position, it has to show Commission approval."
After considering a list of factors, researchers have no clear explanation for the pay gap.
But for some women, the thought that they are paid less because they could potentially become mothers doesn't seem fair.
"There are a lot of us out there that are single, and we choose to be that way, but we still don't make what the men do," said Amanda Long of Augusta.
The research also shows this pay gap exists despite the fact that women outperform men in school, earning slightly higher GPAs in every college major--including science and math.
The professions with the largest pay gaps are doctors, nurses, and teachers.

Driving home when my wife and I saw a red light in the sky. It caught my eye because I am always looking up for strange lights. I asked my wife what she thought and she recommended that we pull over so I did. When we pulled over I could tell that it wasn't moving because I judged it through my view through the trees. I told my wife that we should hurry home and grab the video camera and hopefully it would still be there. Got home ran inside grabbed my camera and got it into view just in time to see it drop another orb but this one was flashing. It was moving down slowly then stopped and almost seemed to come back up. Then the flashing object went back down and stopped for a second then shot down to the ground. I didn't realize the speed of the objects decent until watching the video back in slow motion. It was like a bullet and didn't make a sound. After the second object was out of view I zoomed in on the initial object and it flickered and blinked out.

The Morning Leverage: Hybris Deal Allows for a Quick Exit by Some Backers
Top stories in this morning's LBO Wire:
The world of ecommerce is rapidly evolving, but even by online retail standards, the sale of Swiss company hybris to SAP for about $1.5 billion represents a quick turnaround for a couple of its investors, Amy Or reports.

But venture firms Meritech Capital Partners and Greylock Israel jumped aboard as investors only three months ago.

Danica Patrick starts in the 40th spot today's Subway Fresh Fit 500 at Phoenix International Raceway. It is a far cry from her pole position start in last weekend's Daytona 500. But in many ways the Phoenix race will provide a realistic, down-to-earth hint of how the season might pan out.
Today's contest takes place on a one-mile track, which mixes elements of long super-speedway tracks with the tire-scrubbing, brake-scorching strain of short-track racing. Tracks like Phoenix and the Monster Mile in Dover, Del., tend to favor the most experienced drivers.
At least that's how it looks based on the pole-sitter. Veteran Mark Martin, who turned 54 in January, clocked the fastest qualifying run and will lead the pack to the green flag.
Known as a perennial speed demon who came oh-so-close to taking championships in eras dominated by Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Martin is among the most experienced drivers in the game. His qualifying effort this week made him the second-oldest driver to win a Nascar Cup pole (Harry Gant was a few months older at 54 when he won his last pole in 1994).
Some longtime Nascar watchers say the Phoenix mile will give Patrick the sort of difficulty she will face at the majority of races during the long Cup season.
Watch for Patrick to drive steadily and conservatively to avoid collisions early in the race. If attrition is high and her car is set up to her liking, she could surprise her critics.
The race begins at 2:30 ET on Fox.

was crazy eva really a target of a bing crosby assassination plot?
a strange thing happened at naptime. i've been having a lot of naptimes lately because i can't get a good night's sleep, too much trouble on my mind.
anyway when i awoke from naptime, as usual with the TV already on ...
bing crosby and bob hope were appearing in BBC2 in some silly comedy from the 1940s. using phrases like "hot tamale" as if i should know what that means.
hazily i recalled how our crazy grandma eva burns originally got locked up in the insane asylum in the 1940s because she insisted that bing crosby was out to kill her.
then i thought, probably for the first time in collins family history:
what if eva wasn't originally crazy, just went crazy while institutionalized?
what if i haven't got that above story right at all?
what if bing crosby actually *did* want my grandma dead?
is it possible that my grandma eva (who was after all a contemporary of bing's) had, somewhere in between her various sprawling furies and ambitions, somehow managed to threaten or coerce bing, or simply annoy him to the extent that bing or bing's handlers decided the world would be better without eva, and they arranged a hit on her?
why did some people keep saying eva was a communist?
was eva a communist?
is that why bing had to have her eliminated? was she threatening to denounce bing as a communist sympathizer? did she have naked pictures of him and herself with, uh, lenin? or better yet ... trotsky?
sounds a little far fetched.

AbstractAn approach to consider computers and connected computer systems using structural, time, and information redundancies is proposed. An application of redundancy for reconfigurability and recoverability of computers and connected computer systems is discussed, gaining performance, reliability, and power-saving in operation. A paradigm of recoverability is introduced and, if followed, shifts connected computer systems toward real-time applications. Use of redundancy for connected computers is analysed in terms of recoverability, where two supportive algorithms of forward and backward tracing are proposed and explained. As an example, growth of mission reliability is formulated.
Keywords: computer systems; redundancy; recoverability; reconfigurability; tracing algorithms; performance-, reliability- and energy-wise systems; mission reliability

Foundation That Won't Kiss Off
Knowing what you want and how to get it doesn't apply just to your career and in the bedroom. Whether you're shelling out $20 or $200, you should always leave the salon feeling like you're in a shampoo commercial. Read these tips before your next visit.
Whether it's adding a few face-framing layers or chopping it all off, consider your lifestyle and the time that you're willing to spend on styling. Is your morning routine more get-up-and-get-out-the-door, or do you wake up with time allotted to put yourself together? Are you willing to incorporate new styling tools and products into your regimen? The bottom line: You don't want your new haircut to compete with your everyday routine.

Flags flying at half-staff for Arizona tragedy
Published: Monday, January 10, 2011 at 11:28 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 10, 2011 at 11:28 a.m.
HOUMA – President Obama proclaimed that flags will be flown at half-staff across the country this week, in remembrance of the Arizona shootings that killed six people and wounded 14 others Saturday.
Local veterans groups observing the flag ritual said the order expires at sunset Friday.
Of those killed was U.S. District Judge John M. Roll, and U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was left critically injured.
Investigators said they have carried out a search warrant at the home of Jared Loughner, who is accused of carrying out the attack, according to the Associated Press.

Philadephia junior featherweight Teon Kennedy received an undetermined number of stitches to close a gaping gash over his left eye following Saturday night's 12-round unanimous decision loss to Alejandro Lopez of Tijuana, Mex., at Bally's in Atlantic City, N.J., according to his trainer, Wade Hinnant.
The 25-year-old Kennedy (17-1, 7 KOs) suffered the first loss of his career to the 24-year-old Lopez (22-2, 7 KOs), who won by scores of 117-111, twice, and, 115-113.
"He kept a pretty good pace in there as opposed to what we had seen on tape. But obviously Teon wasn't himself tonight. He couldn't pull the trigger for whatever reason."
Hinnant revealed that Kennedy had suffered an injury to his right shoulder which he said "hampered him throughout most of the camp."
"We got him some injections a couple of weeks ago, but we certainly can't take anything away from what Alejandro did tonight," said Hinnant. "Lopez fought an excellent fight, but it is what it is."
Hinnant confirmed that before losing to Lopez, Kennedy had been offered a shot at WBC and WBO bantamweight titleholder Nonito Donaire if he could drop to 118 pounds.
"I got that from Teon's promoter [Russell Peltz,] but I don't know where he got it from," said Hinnant. "There was some discussion about that, but it wasn't a serious consideration at the time."
The 23-year-old Garcia will pursue his 27th victory without a loss, his 23rd knockout and his fifth consecutive stoppage on the under card of a main event featuring managerial stablemate Nonito Donaire (26-1, 18 KOs).
Garcia is coming off of June's fourth-round knockout of Rafael Guzman (28-3, 20 KOs) and appears to be ready for a title shot, said Dunkin.
"We hope that Mikey will be in the opening fight. He's ready [for a title shot] now, but he's still young," said Dunkin. "But there's guys that he can definitely beat and win a title right now."
The 28-year-old Donaire is the WBO and WBC bantamweight titleholder and will be after his fifth straight knockout against one of at least seven opponents whose names are being reviewed by officials from HBO, Top Rank Inc. and Dunkin.
They are Juan Mercedes (26-3 17 KOs), Sebastian Gauthier (21-2, 13 KOs) and Christian Esquivel (23-2, 17 KOs), Tshifhiwa Munyai (21-2, 10 KOs), Omar Narvaez (35-0, 23 KOs), Silence Mabuza (23-3, 19 KOs) and Alexander Munoz (35-4, 27 KOs).
A Filipino-born resident of San Leandro, Calif., who is ranked No. 3 on THE RING's pound-for-pound list, Donaire last fought on Feb. 19, scoring a second-round knockout of Fernando Montiel for his 25th consecutive win and 10th stoppage in his past 12 fights.
Philadephia contender Eddie Chambers (36-2, 18 KOs) believes that today's rising, younger heavyweights have it easier than he has.
"Not that I've fought every monster in the world, but I have faced some pretty decent competition," said Chambers, who has vanquished former contenders Dominick Guinn, Calvin Brock and Alexander Dimitrenko and ex-titleholder Samuel Peter. "I just wish that all of these younger guys had to prove themselves the same way that I did."
The 29-year-old Chambers' lone defeats have come against four-beltholder Wladimir Klitschko and unbeaten Alexander Povetkin by 12th-round stoppage and one-sided unanimous decision, respectively.
Chambers could earn a rematch with Klitscho if he wins an October IBF eliminator bout with Tony Thompson (36-2, 24 KOs) of Washington, D.C., who has scored five consecutive knockouts in as many wins since being stopped in the 11th round by Klitschko.
Chambers agrees that Thompson's sometime sparring partner Seth Mitchell (22-0-1, 16 KOs) is among the division's top prospects, as is Deontay Wilder (17-0, 17 KOs), who is Mitchell's promotional stable mate with Golden Boy Promotions.
"I like the idea of a new crop of heavyweights coming up, and maybe there will be a shift in power if they can bring the title back here to the states," said Chambers. "But I just don't like the idea of so much ducking going on and too much positioning where a guy doesn't want to fight this guy or that guy because he might lose his position."
"In that Ultimate Fighting, they have to fight people to the point where even the best people have losses. Some of their best guys are undefeated," said Chambers.
"But some of the other guys have losses because they're forced to fight the best guys out there, and that's how they make their pay per views and that's why people are interested."
Asked if he would like a shot at Mitchell or another young heavyweight, Chambers said: "I wouldn't mind it. I wouldn't say no if it came up, but I do think that the kids deserve a shot to go wherever they need to go."
"I just don't think that they are being put in positions where they are forced to fight — you know, 'This guy is in that position, and I've got to beat him to get higher or to get to the next level,'" said Chambers.
"But there's too much positioning being done for people who can talk well or that know people instead of just fighting."
